Debbie Harry back on drugs at 67??
Once again my twisted sense of humour shows it's face. I meant that the single is so bad that it could turn Debbie Harry back onto drugs.
Take this for example, when Union J sang "don't stop me now", it was so atrocious that it caused Freddie Mercury to jump from his grave, give himself aids for the second time & then jump right back in.
Bad cover versions is a pet hate of mine, so if a band / artist, releases a dodgy cover version & then something bad happens to them. Well they only have themselves to blame & Harry getting hit in the nuts, well that made my day, not only for the group existing, but also for butchering a classic song.

orthopteran, broadly, any member of one of four insect orders. Orthopteran has come to be regarded as the common name for these related groups, which exhibit considerable morphological, physiological, and paleontological diversity. Although sometimes the insects are combined into the order Orthoptera, generally several orders are implied in the term orthopteran.
Among the orthopterans, cockroaches and mantids are placed in the order Dictyoptera, although they are sometimes placed in Blattodea and Mantodea, respectively, which may be considered as separate orders or as suborders of Dictyoptera. The grylloblattids (order Grylloblattodea) and walking sticks (order Phasmida) are given ordinal rank also. On the other hand, members of the suborders Ensifera (katydids, crickets, and camel crickets) and Caelifera (pygmy sand crickets, grasshoppers, and locusts) are considered to comprise the order Orthoptera. For completeness of discussion, all of these groups, handled here as four separate orders, are included in this article.
Orthopterans, abundant in tropical regions throughout the world in both numbers of species and individuals, are common in the summer months in temperate regions, when their relatively large size and chirping sounds attract considerable attention. Zoologists have long been interested in cockroaches, one of the oldest insect groups known. Most of the 24,000 species of orthopterans are plant feeders, with mouthparts adapted for chewing. Locusts, known as pests since biblical times, are very destructive to agricultural products.
General features
Orthopterans may be bizarre in appearance, unusually large in size, or show peculiar behaviour. They range in size from a few millimetres to more than 30 centimetres. Some tropical walking sticks resembling tree twigs are more than 30 centimetres (11.8 inches) long, and others, much smaller, resemble leaves of plants. The size range of present-day cockroaches is typical of the diversity of body size among orthopterans: tiny flightless cockroaches (Attaphila), living as commensals in the nests of ants, are only two millimetres long when mature, whereas a species of Megaloblatta found in South America reaches 10 centimetres in length with a wing span of almost 19 centimetres.
Approximately 24,000 species of orthopterans have been identified. Throughout the U.S. there are about 1,300 species; not all of them inhabit any one place. There are more species (e.g., 282 in Arizona) in southern and southwestern sections of the U.S. than in the North (e.g., 103 in all the New England states). Of the 600 species found in Europe, Great Britain has only 35, including four established, introduced species (adventives).
The largest families of orthopterans are worldwide in range, although all have decreased numbers of species in cold temperate zones. Few mantids or walking sticks, for example, occur outside tropical or subtropical areas. There are about 20 mantid species and 27 walking stick species in the southern regions of the U.S., compared with the 400 mantid species and 600 walking stick species that have been identified in Central and South America. A few northern groups include the grylloblattids and several genera of grasshoppers.
Among the orthopterans are many species that are either harmful to agricultural products or are pests. Grasshoppers are capable of causing widespread devastation of the agricultural crops grown in many countries throughout the world. In cattle-growing regions there often is competition between grasshoppers and livestock for available forage. Mormon crickets (a common name for species of the genus Anabrus that originated during the early years of the Mormon settlement in Utah) are major pests of both crops and open rangeland in the western part of the U.S. during seasons that are favourable for their development. Cockroaches, known throughout the world as domestic pests, are a frequent nuisance, especially in warm-temperate to tropical areas. Although cockroaches occasionally carry organisms such as bacteria or parasites that produce intestinal diseases, they are more generally considered to be mechanical carriers of contaminating filth.
Mantids, predators on other insects, have become adapted to resemble the flowers, tree trunks, or grass stems on which they await their prey. Crickets, katydids, and grasshoppers are known for the songs they produce using stridulatory mechanisms, and research concerned with song production is an active field. The biology of migratory grasshoppers or locusts involves hormones that promote transformation of nonmigratory, solitary, shorthorned grasshoppers into gregarious hordes of locusts capable of causing great destruction. This transformation has been studied in attempts to control these pests.
Natural history
Life cycle
General features
Since orthopterans undergo simple metamorphosis and have externally developing wings, they are known as hemimetabolous insects. The grylloblattids are wingless, and all large orthopteran groups contain a few wingless species, even though the basic structure of the orthopteran thorax proves their relationship to winged insects. A typical orthopteran life cycle has three stages: egg, nymph, and adult. Usually eggs are deposited outside the body on the ground or on vegetation; however, in some cases (e.g., viviparous cockroaches), eggs are incubated in a brood chamber within the body of the female, and nymphs are born alive. Nymphs resemble adults except for their smaller size and lack of development of reproductive organs and wings; there is no pupa, or resting stage. In most orthopteran groups, the hatching insect that wriggles from the egg is not a fully formed nymph with freely moving legs; actually it is little more than an active embryo and is still enclosed in a thin membrane. This stage is called a vermiform larva; shedding of the enclosing membrane occurs at the intermediate molt. The shapeless skins shed by young grasshoppers crawling from egg pods or by mantids leaving an egg case are examples of such exuviae (cast skins).
The number of nymphal stages between the intermediate molt and adulthood varies from about 4 to 13. Generalizations are approximately as follows: cockroaches, 5–13; mantids, 4–9; grylloblattids, about 8; crickets and katydids, 5–9; walking sticks, 4–6; and grasshoppers, 4–9, most often 5–7.

Did I Mention I Love The Princess and the Frog?
I thought I'd share some silly frog tidbits with you in honor of the movie coming out ON TUESDAY! Oh, and stick around to the end of the post for a little surprise. I promise, it's worth it. :)
· FROG FUN -- Animators and visual development artists invited a host of real frogs into the studio in order to truly appreciate what makes frogs frogs.
· DISNEY'S NINTH PRINCESS – Disney's newest princess, Tiana, joins ranks with Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella, Belle, Ariel, Pocahontas, Jasmine and Mulan. The Princess and the Frog is Disney's first princess film since Mulan, which was released in June 1998.
· PAYING HOMAGE – During "Down in New Orleans" early in the film, the carpet from Aladdin is being shaken up on a wrought-iron balcony. Mama Odie comes across the lamp from Aladdin during "Dig a Little Deeper." A Mardi Gras parade float is modeled after King Triton from The Little Mermaid—on it are caricatured versions of directors John Musker and Ron Clements (who also directed The Little Mermaid, Louis realizes his dream of playing with a jazz band and the band is called the Firefly Five Plus Lou after a Disney Animation ragtime band from the 1940s-50s known as the Firehouse Five Plus Two (the film's piano player is even modeled after Disney Legend Frank Thomas was the piano player for the Firehouse Five Plus Two).
· ALL IN GOOD TIME -- It took about 20 minutes for an animator to create one drawing for The Princess and the Frog. It took animators 20-40 hours to create the basis of an individual scene in The Princess and the Frog. That same scene then took another two–three months in the production pipeline before becoming a final scene in color.
· ALL THAT RAIN -- Ron Clements was at the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival when he got caught in a downpour and took cover under a table. Clements later added the scene in the bayou in which Tiana and Prince Naveen get caught in the rain.
· LATER GATOR -- The well-known chef Emeril Lagasse voiced the part of Marlon the Gator.
· BLOWING HIS OWN HORN -- Terrence Blanchard, who is a native New Orleans jazz legend and trumpet player, played all of alligator Louis' trumpet parts in the film. He also voiced the role of Earl the bandleader in the riverboat band.
· PICTURE THIS -- Filmmakers took more than 50,000 photos of local iconic images to use as reference and inspiration including places like the buildings, restaurants and the garden district.
· EVERYBODY LOVES A PARADE – Filmmakers were invited to participate in Mardi Gras aboard a float. At the end of the film, there are caricatures of the directors throwing beads off the float during the wedding parade.
· A GOOD CAUSE -- During their time in New Orleans, directors Ron Clements and John Musker, and producer Peter Del Vecho volunteered for Habitat for Humanity to help rebuild New Orleans.
· ALL IN THE FAMILY -- Some of the background characters were based on members of the production crew. The man with the horse in the opening sequence was based on supervising animator Eric Goldberg. Producer Peter Del Vecho's likeness can be seen doing the tango across the dance floor at the Masquerade Ball. The girls swooning after Prince Naveen are all based on members of the production team. Marlon West (EFX supervisor) and Bruce Smith (supervising animator) inspired Tiana's friends in the café, and writer Rob Edwards' likeness is part of the band. Head of story Don Hall voices the character of Darnell. Storyboard artist Paul Briggs voices the character of Two Fingers.
· LOCAL TALENT -- "Trombone Shorty," a well-known local musician, played on "Down in New Orleans." Al Hebron who was the filmmakers' local tour guide was tapped to provide the voice of the riverboat captain.
· MULTI-TALENTED -- Terence Simeon, Grammy Award®-winning local musician, played the accordion, rub board, triangle and squeezebox on the Zydeco song "Gonna Take You There."
· ALL LIT UP INSIDE -- Randy Newman provides the voice of firefly cousin Randy, who is a caricature of the composer. Newman was actually cast to voice several characters in the film—a raccoon, a turtle—but only the firefly made the final cut.
· PLAY IT AGAIN -- One of the most thrilling moments for director Ron Clements was when he got a personal performance from Randy Newman. Clements arrived early to the session at Newman's house and the Oscar®-winning composer played the first song he wrote for the film.
· MUSIC TO MY EARS -- Music plays such an integral part of New Orleans lifestyle that filmmakers felt it important to reflect that diversity in the film. Oscar®-winning composer Randy Newman (Cars, Monsters, Inc., Toy Story) created an all-new score for the feature in a range of styles, including jazz, blues, gospel and zydeco; and featuring seven new songs.
· ANIMAL BEHAVIOR -- Directors John Musker and Ron Clements visited the New Orleans Audubon Zoo for inspiration. They saw indigenous alligators, which inspired the film's trumpet playing alligator, and spoon-billed birds, which influenced the birds in Mama Odie's gospel song "Dig A Little Deeper."
· NOW HEAR THIS -- Sound designer Oden Benitez went to Jackson Square in New Orleans to record the sounds of the church bell and streetcar.
· LEGENDS -- One of the most thrilling trips to New Orleans for directors Ron Clements and John Musker was when they recorded Dr. John and Randy Newman at the local recording studio The Music Shed (which looked like a corrugated steel shed). The Gospel Choir was also recorded in the studio, where artists such as Robert Plant, Fats Domino and Norah Jones have all recorded. Both Dr. John and Newman have strong connections to New Orleans.
· INDEPTH RESEARCH -- Filmmakers took the Nanchez Riverboat tour to ensure the authenticity of the riverboat scenes. They also took a private tour of the streetcar system in New Orleans.

It was reported that Duran had an elbow injury.
According to Baseball America, the Orioles also released minor league right-handed pitchers Jose Mota, Ryan O'Shea, Jose Rivera and Alex Scharmzo and left-handed pitcher Casey Lambert.
-The Orioles will put vouchers for autograph sessions at FanFest on sale Saturday at 10 a.m. The list of autograph times and participants will be posted at www.orioles.com/fanfest by 9 p.m. Friday.
FanFest will be held Saturday Jan. 19 at the Baltimore Convention Center from 11 a.m. – 6 p.m. Season plan holders can enter at 10 a.m.
Vouchers are $15 each, and proceeds go to the OriolesREACH children's charities. Only 250 vouchers will be available for each session.
Children between four and 14 will have their own autograph sessions throughout FanFest. There will be no charge. Signing players will not be announced in advance.

LLILAS Announces 2013 Community Engagement Award
Posted: March 22, 2013
LLILAS has released the application for its annual Community Engagement Award, which provides a cash prize to two students who demonstrate a commitment to community service and volunteerism. The award underscores LLILAS's goal of inspiring students to change the world for the better.
LLILAS launched the Community Engagement Award as a way to recognize students who are active in and provide service to their communities, both in the United States and in Latin America. Latin American Studies undergraduate and graduate students who have a strong record of volunteerism and/or activism with one or more community organizations are invited to apply for the award.
Last year's recipients were Ashley N. García (BA, LAS and RTF) and Allison Ramirez (MA, LAS and MA, Global Policy Studies). Between them, they provided service to five non-profit organizations in two countries that work with first-generation Latino college students, promote Mexican music and dance, teach English-language learners, advocate for families of those who died or disappeared in El Salvador, and advance workers' rights in Texas. "We are impressed by our students' dedication to the community and pleased to recognize their service," commented Juliet Hooker, Associate Director of LLILAS and Chair of the Community Engagement Award committee.
For more information and to download the application, visit the LLILAS Community Engagement Award page. Please contact Heather Gatlin with any questions.

Experimental forests and ranges as a network for for long-term data
Vavra, Martin; Mitchell, John. 2010. Experimental forests and ranges as a network for for long-term data. In: Meeting current and future conservation challenges through the synthesis of long-term silviculture and range management research. WO-GTR-84. Washington, D.C.: U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service. p. 15-23.
In the new millennium, national leaders and policymakers are facing profound issues regarding people and the environment. Experimental Forests and Ranges (EFRs), managed by the Forest Service, U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), form a network of locations amenable to the development of long-term data collection across many major ecosystems of the continental United States, Alaska, and Hawaii. Truly long-term data sets dealing with range and grasslands are rare but do exist. Unfortunately, the status of older studies, in terms of longevity and variables monitored, are incompletely documented. The paucity of long-term data sets is related to personnel turnovers and a lack of ownership of long-term studies that may be sampled only every 5 or 10 years, coupled with limited funds available to hire personnel for data collection.

Step 2:
The more it surrounds the target and the greater the vacuum, the greater the chances for a successful grip.
Since we are working with minimum "push" (servo motor 10 inches away) and low vacuum (low cost pump)--we have to do everything possible to help the system.
Reducing the thickness of the balloon wall is a first step. Blow up a "12 inch" balloon and clamp it in the inflated position overnight. It will stretch.
Step 5:
Step 6:
Insert one end of the plastic tube into the top of the printed gripper--it should just press in.

Iris pseudacorus
Non-Native to Florida
pronounced: ee-ris sood-a-ko-rus
Yellow flag is non-native in the U.S., and is spreading throughout the country.
Iris pseudacorusis a wetland plant that is especially showy during its short blooming period. This good-looking plant has been transplanted into well-watered gardens all over the world and has widely escaped; it is also used in sewage treatment, and is known to be able to remove metals from wastewaters. Like cat-tails, yellow iris colonizes into large numbers, forming very dense monotypic stands, outcompeting other plants.
Iris pseudacorus L.
Iris pseudacorus especially when not in bloom, might be confused with:
Distribution in the U.S.:
The best way to track the spread of invasive aquatic plants may be to identify the drainage basins (watersheds) they have been discovered in. Drainage maps give useful information to eco-managers because drainage maps show precisely where the plants are, making it easier for managers to infer where the plants might go next, and thus where to take preventive measures.
How it got here:
Potential to spread elsewhere in U.S.:
the action of mechanical harvestors and chopping machines
No biological control work has been done for this species. Damage by invertebrate and vertebrate grazers is negligible; deer eat it sparingly; hay containing yellow flag causes gastroenteritis in cattle (Sutherland 1990)
Iris pseudacorus is susceptible to many registered herbicides, but is resistant to terbutryne (Thomas 1982) provide

It is important to know that plant research, like most areas of scientific research, is still relatively young and incomplete--much may have been published about the physiology of one plant but not about its management; much may have been published about how to culture and grow another plant but not about its natural ecology. Thousands of research articles may have been published about one invasive plant, but perhaps only a dozen about another.

- Pacific Wins Two Games versus Willamette
Softball | Tuesday, April 10, 2012
Pacific Lutheran Wins 1-0 in 11 Innings to Start Doubleheader Sweep
Sixth-Ranked Lutes Defeat Bearcats 8-0 in Second Game
TACOMA, WASH. -- Alex Watilo (Sr., RHP, Newcastle, CA/Del Oro HS) of Willamette University and Stacey Hagensen from Pacific Lutheran University battled in a lengthy pitchers' dual until the Lutes pushed across the game's only run in the 11th inning to defeat the Bearcats, 1-0, in the first game of a Northwest Conference doubleheader on Tuesday, April 10. The Lutes won the second game, 8-0, on the run rule in six innings.
Pacific Lutheran, ranked #6 in the latest NCAA Division III Poll released by the National Fastpitch Coaches Association (NFCA), upped its record to 30-10 overall, 20-4 in the NWC. Willamette fell to 18-10 on the season, 17-6 in the NWC. Both teams have clinched berths in the four-team NWC Tournament set for April 21-22.
The doubleheader was originally scheduled to be played on March 31, but was rained out and rescheduled for Tuesday.
Even with the delay of over a week, Watilo and Hagensen were prepared to take charge for both of their teams in the first game. Hagensen gave up nine hits, struck out five batters and did not allow a walk. Watilo, allowed eight hits, registered four strikeouts and walked three batters.
Perhaps the most telling statistic is that both pitchers kept both teams off the scoreboard through all seven regulation innings, plus three-and-a-half extra innings. Ultimately, neither pitcher deserved to lose, but Hagensen improved to 16-5, while Watilo fell to 12-4.
Willamette had the severall chances to score during the early innings of the opener. In the first inning, Heather Winslow (Fr., 1B, Oregon City, OR/Oregon City HS) doubled with two outs, but Hagensen forced a pop-up to get out of the threat.
The Bearcats had Jessica Barry (Jr., LF, Cupertinio, CA/Monte Vista HS/UNLV) at second and Nichole Robertson (Sr., RF, Elk Grove, CA/Franklin HS/Cosumnes River Coll.) at third with two outs in the third inning, but a 3-5-2 double play enable PLU to escape the inning.
In the fourth, Winslow doubled and moved to third on a sacrifice bunt by Theresa Martin (Fr., 3B, Modesto, CA/Johansen HS). Another double play saved the Lutes, as Kelli Snyder (Jr., C, Longview, WA/Kelso HS) flied out to left field for a possible sacrifice fly, but outfielder Montessa Califano threw Winslow out at the plate.
The Lutes left two runners on base in the fourth and fifth innings, as Watilo kept her half of the shutout intact.
After seven scoreless innings, PLU had a solid opportunity to score in the eighth. With one out, Amanda Goings singled. With two outs, Goings stole second base and Hagensen walked. Watilo forced a groundout to second base to end the inning.
Both teams had at least one base runner in both the ninth and 10th innings, but were unable to score. The Lutes began the bottom of the 11th with an infield single by Hagensen and a single down the left field line by Kaaren Hatlen. Melissa Harrelson used a sacrifice bunt to advance the runners to second and third. Hagensen scored the winning run on a sacrifice fly by Lindsey Matsunaga.
Winslow of Willamette was a perfect 4 for 4 at the plate in the first game. Hagensen finished the contest 2 of 4 for Pacific Lutheran.
In the second game, the Lutes pounded out 11 hits, including a home run by Haley Harshaw. PLU led 3-0 after three innings and 4-0 after five frames. The Lutes added four runs in the sixth inning to win on the run rule.
Hatlen walked and later scored in the second inning on a sacrifice bunt by Amanda Hall. In the third inning, Harshaw's homer added two runs to the lead. Goings scored an unearned run in the fifth inning, when she crossed the plate on a throwing error after Califano was thrown out at home on a fielder's choice for the second out of the inning.
The Lutes achieved five hits in the sixth inning to create the last four runs of the game. Katie Lowery and Califano each hit an RBI double, while Harshaw and Halten both recorded an RBI single.
Califano went 3 for 3 with two runs and an RBI for the Lutes. Harshaw added a 2-for-3 performance with two runs and three RBIs. Goings was 2 for 2 during the game.
Hatlen, who pitched the second game for PLU, limited Willamette two just two hits. She struck out five batters and allowed four walks, as she moved to 10-2 on the season. WU pitcher Hayley Glantz (Fr., RHP, Reno, NV/Robert McQueen HS) dropped to 6-6 with the loss.
Willamette will conclude the regular season with four Northwest Conference games against Linfield College, ranked #1 in NCAA Division III. The Bearcats will battle the Wildcats in a doubleheader at Linfield on Saturday, April 14, before hosting the Wildcats in a doubleheader at the WU Softball Field on Sunday, April 15. First pitch is slated for 12 p.m. (PDT) each day.

CIRCUIT BOARD CONNECTOR This invention relates to connectors used for interconnecting circuit boards. Such connectors provide a detachable electrical connection between adjacent circuit boards, for example, between the upper and lower peripheral edges of spaced circuit boards stacked one above the other.
Connectors of the type described use spring contact elements to bridge the conductors of adjoining circuit boards. The spring contact elements are carried in channels on in insulator block capable of being secured' in the assembly and of being readily removed therefrom.
One of. the disadvantages of prior art circuit board connectors is the inability of each leg of a generally U-shaped spring contact element to resist deflection independently of the other leg connected integrally therewith. The spring contact elements of most prior art connectors are free to move transverse to the longitudinal axis of the connector when engaged by only one circuit board. In other words, a force tending to deflect only one leg of a contact into its channel will not be yieldingly resisted unless an opposing force is applied to the other leg of.
the same contact. It is thus not possible with such prior art connectors to establish a properly biased electrical contact with the terminals or conductors of one circuit board until the second circuit board is secured in its proper position.
It is proposed, according to the present invention, to provide an improved circuit board connector having novel means for retaining the spring contact elements. Such retaining means preferably comprises a longitudinal retaining strip on the insulator block which engages intermediate portions of the spring contact elements and exerts a clamping bias thereon. This construction permits each leg of a spring contact element to resist deflection independently of its integral counterpart, thus overcoming one of the disadvantages of the prior art constructions.
In one form of the invention, the generally U-shaped contact elements are serially assembled on the insulator block with their open ends all extending in the same direction. In modified form, alternate contact elements are inverted so as to have their open ends extending in opposite direction. The latter arrangement ensures that balanced biasing forces will be applied between the connector and the circuit board.
As another modification of the invention the legs of the U- shaped contact elements are in converging relationship, and the connector is adapted to be assembled with circuit boards that are right angles to one another.
In still another modification of the present invention the intermediate portion of each contact element is bent to an angular form which interlocks with the channel of the insulator block and secures it thereto without a separate retaining strip.
Various other objects, features, and advantages of the invention will appear more fully from the following detailed description and the accompanying drawings.
In the drawings:
FIG. 1 is a top view of a connector constructed according to the invention;
- FIGS. 2, 3 and 4 are side, bottom, and end views, respectively, of the same;
' FIG. 5 is a transverse sectional view ofthe connector, taken along line 5-5 of FIG. 1, shown on a larger scale in engagement with two circuit boards;
FIG. 6 is a view similar to FIG. 5, but with the connector engaging only one circuit board;
FIG. 7 is a fragmentary view corresponding to FIG. 3, but showing a bottom view of the connector in modified form;
FIG. 8 is an enlarged, transverse sectional view of the modified connector shown in FIG. 7, taken along line 8-8 thereof;
FIG. 9 is a view corresponding to FIGS. 5 and 6, but without circuit boards and showing another modification of the invention; and
FIG. 10 also corresponds to FIGS. 5 and 6, and it illustrates still another modification of the present invention with its contact legs disengaged.
It is to be understood that only several forms of the invention will be described in detail, and that the scope of the invention is to be determined with reference to the claims at the end hereof.
The connector 10 shown in FIGS. 1 to 6 of the drawings has a series of spring contact elements 12 mounted on a body or insulator block 14. The latter is formed, preferably by molding, of a thermoplastic material having electrical insulation properties, such as Noryl. However, a large variety of moldable insulating materials are commercially available and can be used in practicing this invention.
The configurations of the block 14 and the contacts 12, also the spacing of the contacts, are suited to the particular application and the locations of the conductors to be bridged by the connector 10. The block 14 illustrated in the drawing is an elongated member of generally rectangular cross section, and of sufficient length to accommodate a given number of serially arranged, electrically conductive contacts 12 in the desired locations.
Each spring contact element 12 is protectively received in a transverse channel 16. The channels 16 are defined by transverse ridges or barrier strips 18 that are an integral part of the block 14. Preferably, the channels 16 extend about at least three sides of the block 14, including two oppositely facing sides 20 and 22, and a third or top side 24 between them. Although the invention is not so limited, the spring contacts 12 are generally U-shaped and they extend about the sides 20, 22 and 24 of the block 14, as illustrated.
Of the various conductive and resilient materials from which the spring contacts 12 may be made, beryllium copper plated with gold over nickel flash is preferred. Each contact 12 is of unitary construction and comprises an intennediate portion 26 joined endwise to two outwardly biased or spread contact legs 28 and 30. Each contact leg has an inturned tip 32 at its free end, adapted to remain within its channel 16 under all deflection conditions. Before assembly with circuit boards, a substantial portion of the legs 28 and 30 extend outside the channels 16 and away from the sides 20 and 22 of the block 14; but after assembly they are deflected into the channels 16 entirely.
The contacts 12 are secured to the block 14 by a retainer strip 33 received in a longitudinally extending groove or recess in the top side of the block. The bottom side 36 of the block 14 is made similar to the top side 24 for convenience and symmetry, and therefore the recess 38 which can be seen in FIG. 3 may be regarded as similar to its counterpart. In order to accommodate the retainer strip 33, the recess extends across the entire series of channels 16 and to their full depth. In addition, the lateral surfaces of the retainer strip 33 are serrated to in terlock with the edges of the barrier strips 18, and subsequently bonded thereto ultrasonically or by the application of heat and mechanical pressure. For this reason, it is preferred that the retainer strip also be made of thermoplastic insulating material like that of the block '14. Alternatively, adhesives may be employed.
When the connector 10 is assembled according to the invention the contacts 12 are secured with their intermediate portions 26 clamped by the retainer strip 33 against the recessed top side 24 of the block 14. With the contacts 12 thus secured, their legs 28 and 30 are eachgcapable of independently resisting deflection without transmitting the deflection force to the other leg, since the contact operate as if rigidly built into the block 14 at their intermediate portions 26.
The connector 10 is shown in FIG. 5 assembled with a pair of circuit boards, the contact 12 having its legs 28 and 30 deflected inwardly while in biased engagement with the conductors 42 of the circuit boards. The assembly is held together by any suitable securing means, as by bolts. In order to accommodate bolts, the ends of the block 14 are provided with concave indentations 44 which cooperate with the securing means to hold the connector in position.
The assembly of FIG. 5 illustrates the legs 28 and 30 of the contact 12 deflected inwardly of the channel 16 by the assembled circuit boards 40. Good electrical contact is made with the conductors 42. The deflection of the contact legs 28 and .30, is in bending about the adjacent corner of the top side 24 of the block 14, tending to deflect the intermediate contact portion 26 outwardly. However, the retaining strip 33 resists any outwarddeflection of the intermediate portion 26, since the strip33issecurely connected to the top side of the block 14. The interengagement of the serrated edges of the strip 33 with the top edges of the barrier strips 18 resists longitudinal dis- 40 of FIG. 6 has its conductor 42 in good electrical contact "with the other contact leg 30, since leg 30 yieldingly resists inward deflection, independently of the leg 28, due to the clamping of the adjacent intermediate contact portion 26 previously described.
From the foregoing it can be seen that connector is of rugged'and dependable construction; that it has improved deflection characteristics; and that it overcomes various disadvantages of prior art connectors without sacrificing economy or simplicity of manufacture.
MODIFICATIONS Several modifications of the connector 10 shown in FIGS. 1 to 6, will now be described with reference respectively to :FIGS; 7 and 8,9, andlO. However, since the basic construc- "tion of each connector remains the same, like reference numerals will be employedtb designate correspondingly similar parts of the several embodiments of the invention.
In' the embodiment of the invention shown in FIGS. '7 and 8,
, the connector 10 has its contacts 12 arranged as if in a basket weave pattern, with every other contact in series being reversed. Thus, conventionaLU-shaped contacts 12 are alternated with contacts 12a of inverted U-shaped configuration. Obviously, the contacts 12a may be structurally identical with the contacts 12 except that each contact 12a is mounted with its legs 28a and 30a extendingin a direction opposite to that in which the legs 28 and 30 of contact 12 extend. Furthermore, since the block 14 hasits bottom side 36 made similar to'its top side 24, the block l4 of the previously described embodiment is readily adapted to this modification with the alternately reversed contacts 12 and l2a by the addition of a second retainer strip 33a at the bottom side'36. The second retainer strip 33a fits the recess 38, in the same manner as its counterpart 33, in order to clamp the intermediate portions 26a of contacts 12a at the bottom of the connector. It is readily apparent that the embodiment of the invention shown in FIGS. 7 and Sensures thatthere will be a balanced biasing force exertedbetween'the connector 10 and the circuit boards engaged thereby, unlike the unbalanced biasing contact of FIG. 5. A balanced biasing force prevents any rotation of the connector in the assembly or the application of distorting torque thereto which might reduce the effectiveness of contact between engaging surfaces.
Referring now to ,the embodiment of the invention shown in FIG. 9, this form of the connector 10 is adapted to interconnecting circuit boards that may be at right angles to one another. With this arrangement the cross-sectional configuration of the block 14 is altered to any suitable shape wherein the legs 28 and 30 of each contact 12 extend in converging directions. In the illustrated embodiment, the legs 28 and 30 of each contact 12 extend transversely along adjacent sides 22 and 30 of an elongated block 14 of generally square cross section; and the intermediate portion 26 is clamped by the retainer strip 33 against a flattened comer between the other two sides 20 and 24 of theblock. The strip 33 is received in a suitable recess formed in the barrier strips 18 and may be securely attached thereto by the means previously described in connection with the other embodiments. 1 V
In FIG. 10 still another modification of the invention is illustrated. In this embodiment, however, the contacts 12 have been provided with an intermediate portion 26 of novel shape to fit securely in a dovetail'slotiog recess 44 at the top or bot tom of the block 14, without need o'fa retainer strip to clamp it or hold it against rotation. With as in ilar recess 44 at the top and bottom of the block 14 it is agaimpossible to assemble a series of contacts 12 in alternately reversed positions, as in the embodiment of FIGS. 7 and 8. I
The connector embodiment of FIG. IO'features a block 14 having curved sides, a cross section adaptable to any of the previously described embodiments. Furthermore, the recess 44 is inwardly divergent for at least a portion of its length between barrier strips 18, sufficient to accommodate, posi tion, and secure each contact 12. The draft on' the sidewalls of the recess is suited to the materials and dimensions of the fitting parts, as well as the forming processes employed, audit is therefore not restricted to any particular range. It will suffree to say in defining this embodiment in the broad sense that the sidewalls of the recess 44 are inwardly divergent, that a resilient projection 46 on the intermediate contact portion 26 is larger than the mouth of therecess 44, and that the projection 46 has surface portions interlockingly engaging the sidewalls of the recess 44 so as to resist rotation therein and removal therefrom. As illustrated, the projection 46 is generally U-shaped in form and fitted snugly to the walls of the recess 44, whereby the resilience and'flexi'bility of the structure permits the structure to flex when snapped into the recess 44 and to spring back into firm contact withthe sidewalls of the recess. The engaging flat, noncircular surfaces of the :pro-
jection 46 and the recess 44 resist relative rotational move.-
ment, while the dovetail configuration of the recess secures the intermediate portion 26 and clamps the contact 12 to .the
body 14.

Remarks at Pentagon Mall Entrance by Secretary Cragin Following Nokuen-Ri Meeting
Ladies and gentlemen, I am Charles L. Cragin. I am the Principal Deputy Undersecretary of Defense for Personnel and Readiness. Joining me is Mr. P. T. Henry, the Assistant Secretary of the Army for Manpower and Reserve Affairs, and Lt. Gen. Ackerman, the Army's Inspector General, who is engaged on a day-to-day basis in the fact-finding regarding the Nokuen-Ri incident. We would like to just read a very brief statement:
We had an hour-long meeting today and each of us expressed our appreciation to the group for making the trip to the United States. We reiterated the pledge of the United States to continue to work closely with the Republic of Korea government, and assured the survivors that the Department of Defense will vigorously pursue and publish the facts of what happened at Nokuen-Ri. Mr. Henry, General Ackerman, and myself also explained how the review is being conducted. Members of the Korean group related their experiences about the Nokuen-Ri bridge incident. Both parties agreed that communication is key to the integrity of the review.
The meeting ended with assurances from each of us on behalf of Secretary Cohen and Secretary Caldera that the U.S. will continue its effort to determine expeditiously the facts of what happened at Nokuen-Ri as a tribute to the shared sacrifices of the Korean and American people during the Korean War. Thank you folks. That completes our statement.

Through the continued relationship the Murney Cliinc has
with the local NAACP, Forest graduate students will be delivering a wildly
popular workshop at the Ninth Annual NAACP Youth Empowerment Conference on
Friday, October 21, 2011 at Missouri State University in the Plaster Student Union.
In partnership with the Springfield Public School System
and Missouri State University, the Springfield NAACP organizes an annual one day
conference in which upwards of 250 African American youth who are performing at
a minimal standard at their respective schools attend.
Originally presented by Forest alumni Dr's. Anna Crosby
and Rhameka Shelley, the Murney clinic is honored to again be presenting at the
conference. Delivered in an upbeat, engaging and positive format the workshop
titled, "A Survivor's Guide to Growing Up as a Minority in Da Field" teaches
young African American youth skills to cope with peer pressure, promote a
positive self esteem, and personal identity.

A Hefty Pastrami Burger for a Hefty Price at Jeffrey's Grocery in the West Village
The Pastrami Burger at Jeffrey's Grocery is great, but its $19 price tag is hard to swallow. More
The Pastrami Burger at Jeffrey's Grocery is great, but its $19 price tag is hard to swallow. More
Designed in collaboration with Ink chef and former Top Chef champion Michael Voltaggio, this burger is topped with Busseto prosciutto and Gruyère fondue and served on a French toast-ified bun dusted with powdered sugar. A first glance it seemingly appeals solely to gluttonous masochists and lovers of a good culinary mashup. Sadly, I am both. More
Umami Burger just doesn't hold up against similar burgers in its price range. While the Manly Burger is a solid choice, the Original lacks balance and highlights the problems with making "umami" an end in itself. Like someone overloading a dish with bacon or fiery chilies, the end result is one-note and, frankly, misses the point. More
The West Village is one of New York's more receptive neighborhoods to lingering breakfasts, from busy coffee shops to lazy cafes, no shortage of all-day bistros and a wealth of bakeries. So where do we go to start the day while we're there? That depends on the mood: doughnut or croissant, French scrambled eggs or Cuban heuvos rancheros? More
If I placed Burger Joint head-to-head, Burger Week-style against its most obvious competitor, Shake Shack, I can't see myself recommending Burger Joint. While I may return to the Greenwich Village location once the bar area is finished, the original location is best left as a novelty. More
The latest from the folks behind the Mulberry Project and the Vinatta Project, this newly minted Greenwich Village spot is debuting with a cocktail list that aims to strike a balance between the accessible and the geeky. "I needed to come up with drinks that fit the season of, 'it's April, spring is here, but oh yeah, it just snowed last week,'" says cocktail director John McCarthy. His current solution for the season's bi-polar weather antics: focusing on vegetal and herbaceous flavors. More
At Taboonette, the newly opened offshoot of Taboon in Hell's Kitchen, pita sandwiches are the focus of the menu. There are classic kebabs and chicken shawarma, but I'm partial to Baked Salmon ($8.75), a filling number that still manages to be light and fresh. More
Wood-fired ovens. Neapolitan pies. Fancy and inventive toppings. Neo-NYC-style. A Roman invasion. Amid these major and minor trends in pizza NYC's coal-die oldies soldier on. Same as it ever was, same as it ever was. So it is at Arturo's on Houston. More
At Amorino Gelato on University Place you'll find not one, but ten different types of hot chocolate on the menu. My personal favorite? The Hazelnut. More
It's not the most attractive of desserts, especially with that candy red cherry on top. But push aside appearances, and this Ekmek Kataifi at the relatively new Village Taverna is surprisingly good. More
Like many of Artichoke's pies, the meatball slice is big, cheesy, salty, and greasy, but not in a bad way. If oily, rich, and filling while being plenty flavorful is what you're looking for, it'll do you just fine. More
The problem with dollar slices is that you almost always get what you pay for. Sometimes not even that. Of those I've eaten around the city, the best I could say about the best of them was that they were cheap — and probably good for after-bar scarfing. But Percy's Pizza, a newish dollar slice joint on Bleecker amid all the bars and jazz clubs, might be the best dollar slice I've had. More
At Otto there's always one dessert on the menu that isn't primarily gelato-based (though there will always be a gelato or sorbet component!). I dropped in over the weekend and was delighted to find Spiced Caramel Panna Cotta ($8) as one of the current fall offerings. More
The current seasonal special is a Fig Mousse Cake. It's pure in flavor, light and borderline foamy, topped with matching gelée. It rests on a thin cake layer that bears an uncanny resemblance to the much-loved Chinese sponge cakes. More
We loved the croissants at Mille-feuille Bakery Café when they first opened, but the more we go back, the more we're convinced this little café is truly special. More
Every city needs at least one older-than-old restaurant with a certain kind of cultivated rakishness — hard, straight-back wood booths that don't encourage lingering; graffiti-carved walls that conjure visions of 1950s hooliganism; grumpy signage. More
The Adore has been around for awhile, and those familiar with this tiny French-Japanese tea salon/cafe/lunch spot tend to be loyal, myself included. All breakfast pastries and sweets are made in-house, and it's one of the few places in this city that offers a wide selection of Mariage Frerès tea. More
By all accounts El Charro serves a mean sangria and snappy margarita. We're less sure about the nachos, on the menu, perhaps, to please the kids; and the music, a mildly disconcerting medley of Three Doors Down and Stevie Nicks. But the vivid cooking and utter lack of trendiness have their own charms. El Charro is best for: a date to el país viejo. More
It only takes one visit to learn that the bulk of the business at Fredi Sandwich Bar is take-out orders and deliveries. More

B-Sides: Myths
MYTHS is a band that makes me like living in Vancouver. Nicknamed No Fun City due to the near extinction of live music venues, post-Olympic broken promises of affordable housing by municipal government, and recently rated the most expensive city in North America...there is, well, a lot to dislike about Vancouver (sigh, I miss Portland). Well known for producing hook-soaked indie pop (double sigh), Vancouver's scrappier self-made experimental music community has crowned Lief Hall and Quinne Rodgers our queens.
Since forming in 2010, the women of MYTHS have written and produced a live electronic opera, The Golden Dawn, (best described using a long line of exclamation points), released a seven-track self-titled album, and co-directed the video below that would make Planningtorock proud.
WARNING: Video may not be safe for viewers with photosensitive epilepsy.
The electroccult duo's live sets are like handmade multimedia worlds—expect synths, blacklit paper mache forests, interpretive dance, kaleidoscopic costumes, and animation; but mostly, to be smashed to smithereens by Hall and Rodgers' vocal (dis)harmonies. In September, MYTHS will be kicking off a US/Canada tour with Grimes and Elite Gymnastics. Go!!!!!!!!!

Interpretive Handbook
19625 :
Inflammatory Myofibroblastic Tumors (IMT), 2p23 Rearrangement, FISH, Tissue
Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) is a distinctive lesion composed of myofibroblastic spindle cells accompanied by an inflammatory infiltrate of plasma cells, lymphocytes, and eosinophils which occur primarily in the soft tissue and viscera of children and young adults. They may arise in any anatomical site including lung, soft tissue, retroperitoneum, and bladder.
The genetic mechanisms underlying IMT pathogenesis are only partially known, but cytogenetic analyses have disclosed chromosomal rearrangements involving the ALK gene at 2p23. Recently, studies support that identification of ALK gene rearrangement is useful to differentiate IMTs from other spindle cell neoplasms of soft tissue and viscera.
Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
Supporting the diagnosis of inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor when used in conjunction with an anatomic pathology consultation
Interpretation Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
A neoplastic clone is detected when the percent of cells with an abnormality exceeds the normal cutoff for the ALK probe set.
A positive result is consistent with a subset of inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT).
A negative result suggests that a ALK gene rearrangement is not present but does not exclude the diagnosis of IMT.
Cautions Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
This test is not approved by the FDA, and it is best used as an adjunct to existing clinical and pathologic information.
Fixatives other than formalin (eg, Prefer, Bouin's) may not be successful for FISH assays. Although FISH testing will not be rejected due to non-formalin fixation results may be compromised.
Paraffin-embedded tissues that have been decalcified are generally unsuccessful for FISH analysis. The pathologist reviewing the hematoxylin and eosin-stained slide may find it necessary to cancel testing.
Reference Values Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.
An interpretive report will be provided.
Clinical References Provides recommendations for further in-depth reading of a clinical nature

Feds Announce Terror Charges And ArrestsAugust 5, 2010 - 5:07 PM | by: Mike Levine
Marking the latest in a growing number of terrorism cases involving an Al Qaeda-linked group in Somalia, federal authorities have unsealed charges against 14 people for allegedly supporting and in some cases fund-raising for the group.
Among the charges unsealed was a years-old indictment against one the group's most prominent figures, Alabama-born Omar Hamammi, who has become a star of recruitment videos for the group and an "operational" figure within the group, known as Al Shabab. He is believed to still be in Somalia.
In the United States, federal authorities arrested two individuals early Thursday morning near Minneapolis, accusing the naturalized U.S. citizens of raising funds for Al Shabab "by soliciting door-to-door" in Minnesota's Somali communities.
Indictments were also unsealed against six more suspects in Minneapolis and San Diego, charging them with providing material support to a terrorist group after allegedly traveling to Somalia to join Al Shabab.
"While our investigations are ongoing around the country, these arrests and charges should serve as an unmistakable warning to others considering joining terrorist groups like al-Shabab: If you choose this route you can expect to find yourself in a U.S. jail cell or a casualty on the battlefield in Somalia," Attorney General Eric Holder said during a press conference on Thursday announcing the new charges.
According to one of the indictments unsealed in Minneapolis, Amina Farah Ali and Hawo Mohamed Hassan of Rochester, Minn., raised funds for Al Shabab by telling potential donors that "the funds were for the poor and needy." The indictment also said seven others, including unidentified individuals in Minneapolis and Columbus, Ohio, helped Ali and Hallan "collect and forward funds to Al Shabab."
For more than two years, the FBI has been investigating how dozens of Americans from Minneapolis and elswhere were recruited to train and fight alongside the Somalia-based group, known as Al Shabab.
With Thursday's announcement, 19 people have now been charged in the case. Several had already been charged in Minneapolis, and five of nine arrested have already pleaded guilty. 10 of the defendants are believed to be overseas.
Federal authorities have long worried that Al Shabab, which claimed responsibility for the recent attacks in Uganda and has pledged its allegiance to Usama bin Laden, could try to launch attacks inside the United States.
In fact, in a May 21 intelligence bulletin, federal authorities noted that "Hammami has appeared in [Al Shabab] media productions urging individuals to travel to Somalia to take part in terrorist training."
"We cannot exclude the possibility that U.S. persons aligned with [Al Shabab] in the Horn of Africa may return to the U.S., possibly to carry out acts of violence."
At the press conference on Thursday, Attorney General Holder said the U.S. government does not have "any direct evidence that Al Shabab is threatening the homeland." But, he said, Al Shabab's recruitment inside the United States and its attack in Uganda "give us pause."
Fox News was the first news organization to uncover Hammami's identity and report that a grand jury had indicted him on charges of providing material support to a terrorist group. In a motion to unseal the case against him, prosecutors said Thursday that "widespread public and press discussion of the case and indictment" helped diminish a need to keep the case sealed.
All this comes one day after federal agents arrested a 26-year-old Chicago man, just hours before he was scheduled to leave for Somalia, according to federal prosecutors. Shaker Masri had been under investigation for 18 months, but in the past month he "began to actively plan" a trip to Somalia, where he hoped to launch a suicide attack targeting "infidels" on behalf of Al Shabab or Al Qaeda, prosecutors said. He is now charged with providing material support to a terrorist organization.
Somalia has had no stable government since 1991, when dictator Siad Barre was ousted from power. Despite limited assistance from the United States and other countries, the transitional government in Somalia has had trouble keeping Muslim militants at bay. Al Shabab in particular has continued to gain ground there. Fighting intensified in 2006, after Western-backed Ethiopian forces invaded Somalia, a move that angered many Somalis around the world.

And the principal and the counselor who rushed at a man with an automatic weapon to get him to stop, mjs9153. I couldn't have done it. They were heroes. Absolute heroes.
Won't be hearing much of that impressively stupid anti teacher let's put more kids in our classroom ignorant garbage now, nothin' but crickets on the subject I'd reckon, or rather, at least for a while.
Just imagine that ridiculous rhetoric coming to fruition, 50 or more students per classroom, I mean they said, you know, them stupid people, why why they said they had studies about how swell it will all be for everybody and everything.
Mmm hmm, yeah that woulda worked out just great, and ohhhhhh those lazy greedy teachers...well come on and bring it, where's it at now?!
Am I the only one that is a bit bothered by the images going around the internet of these poor babies?
A lot of them seem to be focusing on one girl. She is a large picture in the center surrounded by classmates with much smaller photos.
Maybe I am being petty, but I just dont like it.
James Mattioli,aged six "and three quarters" his family wanted to remind people..in part,he loved cuddling with his mom,swimming,math,hamburgers with ketchup,his dad's omelette with bacon,and french toast...and was best friends with his older sister.. from his obituary and news reports..
And I'm very uncomfortable with it too, makes my stomach hurt, and I say, good.
Tells me we ain't completely desensitized to slaughter, not to mention senselessness, and I wish they were posted on every inch of billboard, bench, bus, plane, train, and dog sled, and from coast to coast, continent to continent.
These babies may not be the faces of this current bloody fad we want, what are, but they are indeed the faces we've got...for now.
Folks seem to have already forgotten this so beautiful and bright wee one of all our hopes...
Let's all try a maybe a little better, and a lot harder, to not forget these little people.

Don't recommend ordering delivery! Lousy service and they forgot part of my order. Decent food but took aver an hour to make! 2/10
Posted by Food Critic on 11/08/2012
I go there almost every two weeks! The food there is so delicious for its price. I get the spicy fried rice and peach mango smoothie almost every time I go there. The atmosphere is nice, mostly filled with North Park Students. The workers there are nice but they rarely communicate after taking your order. Overall, a great place to grab lunch or dinner during your breaks. :)
Posted by NP Student on 04/20/2012
I consistently get the chicken noodle salad and the hot wings, so good!. The chicken wings are big and good although some days it was abnormally little. It is decently priced. As for the service, nothing bad yet nothing special. For being a new restaurant and non-franchise, you would think the workers would be more personable and throw in some free things once in awhile if you're a loyal customer but they dont. They're just mellow behind the counter. When you leave, there is no "goodbye thank you" Just an odd group. But other than that everything is good.
Posted by Andrea on 12/13/2011
This restaurant is right across from North Park University (show them your ID while ordering and you get 10% off). They are known for their Vietnamese sandwiches and they also have bubble tea, fried rice, and a few other foods on the menu. Its a nice environment and its clean. My favorite is their Vietnamese fried rice. Its a very huge portion and it has a fresh taste to it.
