|Cruciate ligament loading during common knee rehabilitation exercises.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 23025167 Owner: NLM Status: In-Process
|Cruciate ligament injuries are common and may lead to dysfunction if not rehabilitated. Understanding how to progress anterior cruciate ligament and posterior cruciate ligament loading, early after injury or reconstruction, helps clinicians prescribe rehabilitation exercises in a safe manner to enhance recovery. Commonly prescribed therapeutic exercises include both weight-bearing exercise and non-weight-bearing exercise. This review was written to summarize and provide an update on the available literature on cruciate ligament loading during commonly used therapeutic exercises. In general, weight-bearing exercise produces smaller loads on the anterior cruciate ligament and posterior cruciate ligament compared with non-weight-bearing exercise. The anterior cruciate ligament is loaded less at higher knee angles (i.e. 50-100 degrees). Squatting and lunging with a more forward trunk tilt and moving the resistance pad proximally on the leg during the seated knee extension unloads the anterior cruciate ligament. The posterior cruciate ligament is less loaded at lower knee angles (i.e. 0-50 degrees), and may be progressed from level ground walking to a one-leg squat, lunges, wall squat, leg press, and the two-leg squat (from smallest to greatest). Exercise type and technique variation affect cruciate ligament loading, such that the clinician may prescribe therapeutic exercises to progress ligament loading safely, while ensuring optimal recovery of the musculoskeletal system.

|Three 'attempts' had been necessary, before I finally reached the summit.
In september 1995 we managed to stay several days in the upper Adula refuge, without ever seeing the summit (fog, snowfall). Admittedly, at that time my crampons were brand new and I did not have an ice axe. Thus, this might not count as an 'attempt'.
On a certain sunday morning in april 2000 several ski alpinists starting from Laentahuette had to learn the hard way, that the weather forecast is not always true.
On july 29th 2000 I reached the summit. In the afternoon, together with some newbies, having started from Capanna Quarnei. For them, the highest peak in their life :-)

|August 15th 1998 - east route from Zapport hut
We met nobody on this nice and easy tour, but we had no panorama from the summit, in the clouds. We descended to the Adula hut. The next day, to come back to the east side, we crossed Passo di Laghetto and Passo di Cadabi, climbed the easy Vogelsberg and slept another night in the Zapport hut. The last day we climbed the Gueferhorn and descended to the village Hinterrhein. It was a nice and mostly lonely 4-day-trip.
March 5th 2000 - north route from Laenta hut with ski
most difficult part was reaching the Laenta glacier from the end of the valley. The glacier itself was no problem, crevasses were covered by much snow. Clear sky, but very cold and windy, so we could not enjoy the panorama to Monte Rosa. Skiing down directly between the serac zones was great!

Stacy and Eric Merling put a golf club in their daughter Aislynn's hands when she was 6 years old. And she hasn't let go of it since then.
Now, a sophomore at Youngstown State, Aislynn Merling, a West York graduate, has developed as one of the top performers on the squad. And she is still working hard to improve her game.
"Honestly, I'm never fully satisfied with how I play," she said. "I'm the type of person and golfer that finds what I could've done better and that's how I look at the past two seasons. I'm trying to learn from my mistakes and look at the positive experiences and rounds I've had and there have been a good amount of solid rounds."
Youngstown coach Roseann Schwartz agrees.
"Aislynn is anxious to improve and does especially well with suggestions," the coach said. "I feel she can only improve."
The coach said Merling's strengths are her length off the tee and her very accurate iron play.
"Working on a repeating swing with good balance should be her goal at this time," Schwartz said.
Merling admits she's had some "amazing swing coaches" who have helped her get to where she is today.
"But I truly rely on myself a lot," she said. "I know a lot about my golf swing and just by the flight of the ball, I know what I need to adjust."
She also relies on her coach and the coach's husband, Dick.
"They have a lot of passion and confidence in me and my game," Merling said. "I haven't adjusted my swing in college. All of my changes are mental. I've been trying to slow down my thinking on the course and focus on each shot as its own."
She also relies on her original coaches.
"If I'm struggling, though, I make a phone call to my parents and they know just what to say to pick me back up," she said.
Schwartz said Merling has competed well in her two seasons with the Penguins.
"Last weekend, we played in the Lady Buckeye Invitational at Ohio State, and her putting let her down," the coach said after Merling posted a three-day total of 255 on rounds of 86, 86 and 83. "From tee to green, she did as well as any of the players."
Merling has had a solid spring. She posted a 240 score (84, 79, 77) at the season-opening Jackrabbit Invitational in Primm, Nev., and she followed that up by finishing ninth out of 42 golfers (75-77--152) at the Bison Open in Las Vegas. Then she had an 86-78--164 to finish 11th individually and help the Penguins finish second at the Purple Knights Invitational in Niagara Falls, N.Y.
Schwartz, in her 18th season as the only women's golf coach in Youngstown history, recruited Merling but said it wasn't a hard sell.
"I was looking at multiple D-I universities, some even larger than Youngstown," Merling said. "But once I visited the university, met the team and the coach, I was sold. I love the campus, and the business school is great. The team is amazing. They're my best friends and my backbone as well. Coach Schwartz has so much experience in the golf industry and the game, it's overwhelming."
And, how long did it take for Merling to make her decision?
"No lie," she said. "Seven minutes after my parents and I were in the car on the way back home, I looked at them and said, 'I'm going to be a Penguin!'"
Youngstown is competing in the Horizon League Championship this weekend on the Mission Hills course in Howey-in-the-Hills, Fla. Merling finished 27th (265) last season.
"I looking forward to playing well as an individual and to bring a championship back to Youngstown," she said.
This summer, Merling will be playing her golf in Lancaster, where her family recently moved.
"But don't worry, I'm still a White Rose golfer and will always play there," she said.
With two more seasons at Youngstown, Merling said it's tough to think past her college career, but the thought of someday being a pro golfer intrigues her.
"I don't know what's in store for me, but playing professionally would be amazing," she said. "But I've always had a goal of becoming a swing coach. I really enjoy teaching people the golf swing, especially kids. I've helped out a decent amount in my past and would love to get into that."
And you can bet that if that happens, she'll be putting a golf club in the hands of a lot of 6-year-olds.

39 stolen vehicles recovered in Arizona, New Mexico
PHOENIX — Authorities have recovered 39 stolen vehicles in two undercover
operations across Arizona and New Mexico and arrested 22 people in the case.
Arizona Department of Public Safety officials said Friday that two of the
suspects arrested worked for a third-party motor vehicle office.
They said the combined value of the stolen vehicles is estimated at more than $2 million.
Weapons and drugs also were seized.
Law enforcement officers executed 12 search warrants Thursday in Albuquerque to
gather additional evidence for the Arizona-based investigation.
They said a New Mexico-based criminal organization was responsible for stealing
newer model General Motors vehicles, switching their vehicle identification
numbers and selling the cars in Arizona.

FORT COVINGTON - The Salmon River Central School District is looking at raising school taxes by 2 percent for 2013-14, school business executive Natascha Jock told the board of education on Monday night, but current figures are preliminary and final budget decisions wont be made until next month.
She noted that so far, it looks like the district will not make any staffing cuts under the 2013-14 spending blueprint.
Ms. Jock said she will present a complete tentative budget to the board at their April 16 meeting.
The new tax rate per thousand dollars of assessed property value has yet to be calculated, but Ms. Jock did say the district would raise an additional $38,253 from a 2 percent hike.
Faced with the increasing cost of retirement and health insurance benefits, Ms. Jock said the district will use a yet-to-be-determined amount of the fund balance to offset the tax increase. She said if the district chose not to use any of the fund balance, they would be left with no choice but to raise taxes by 40.73 percent.
According to Ms. Jock, the fund balance could run dry by the 2015-16 school year.
Thats a worst-case scenario of no change in state aid formula and retirement and health insurance increases, she said.
Superintendent of Schools Jane Collins said she is hopeful that lawmakers in Albany will pass legislation locking districts into a yearly retirement contribution; Ms. Jock said the percentage could be as high as 14 percent. Currently, the district pays 16.5 percent of a retired teachers salary. They pay 20.8 percent on a retired employees salary, which includes bus drivers, custodial staff and food services.
Kevin Walbridge, elementary school principal and a member of the schools athletic committee, told the board, Were going to have to talk about cuts to spring and modified sports because of the current fiscal situation. Ms. Collins and board member Emily Lauzon countered by suggesting the district raise taxes by an additional 1 percent.
Youre going to cut teachers but add coaches? Mr. Walbridge said, referring to past staffing cuts that have not been restored. Youve got to find a balance.
Mr. Walbridge, along with St. Regis Mohawk School principal Sharlee Thomas each said they would like to see the elementary summer school program stay off the budget chopping block. Each said summer school is a necessity in light of common core standards and what many teachers see as tougher mandatory state exams.
We definitely want to have [summer school] included in the budget, Mr. Walbridge said, adding that between 75 and 100 students attend elementary summer school each year.
Ms. Jock said preliminary estimates show the district will receive the following for the 2013-14 school year:
■ $547,351 in overall state aid increases
■ $99,000 in building aid from the wastewater treatment plant
■ $521,000 in Native American aid
■ $100,000 insurance payment from the ethanol remediation project

|Which is the most prestigious college football game after the allstate bcs championship game?
I always thought it was the rose bowl, but my co-worker is telling me that it is the sugar bowl
Orange bowl.
the rose bowl has the most history, but the sugar bowl usually has better teams...
Rose or Sugar Bowl.
You always have better games and teams (usually) in the Sugar Bowl
Rose, Sugar, Fiesta, Orange are all considered equal behind the NC game at this point in time.
I don't think that college bowl games is prejudice. I think that the Super Bowl can be prejudice somewhat.
Since "prestigious" is very subjective, it's all in the eye of the beholder. Most college football fans though would agree that the fanciest of the bowl games is historically the Rose Bowl. Established in 1902, they have the Parade of Roses... floats... debutants... it's pretty much a culmination of all things associated with the "classic" decades of college athletics (50s-60s). About as close to a high school homecoming weekend, but in a different context. Sugar Bowl doesn't really have that same feeling of a dignitary's ball. It's played in a dome stadium these days, and although established in 1935 in an outdoor college field, the Rose Bowl was the leader of the pack.
None of them...They have all lost a bit of their luster since the BCS came along. The Sugar usually has a good SEC team in it, so that one should be the best game.
Your co-worker must be an SEC homer.
Probably the Rose Bowl.

Creek Country A to ZCreek Country now consists of Georgia and Alabama, but 160 years ago, it was ruled by the mighty Creek Confederacy. Join me as I explore ancient Creek Country from Adela to Zachariah, the Battle of Burnt Corn to the Yamassee War. And everything in between.
C, for Cardinal Directions
The Southeastern Natives placed much importance on the four cardinal directions, correlating them with colors and social values.
They were actually two sets of opposites.
This is how the Creek viewed them:
East=white, sun, Sacred Fire, blood, life and success;
West=black, moon, death
North=red, cold, trouble and defeat;
South=blue, warmth, peace, and happiness
I'd be interested to learn why the Creek viewed cold as "red" and warm as "blue." Their neighbors to the northeast, the Cherokee, classified them as we do—red/warm and blue/cold.
|Personal photo of a town square. Note the logs of the fire
also point in the cardinal directions.
Diorama found at Ocmulgee National Monument.
The Seminoles (refugee Creek and other tribes) believed that when a person fell asleep his soul left his body and went north where it experienced dreams. It usually returned when the person woke up, but when it didn't, he/she would fall ill, particularly when a soul left north and went east. A priest would try to coax the soul back into the person, but if it kept going all the way east and ended up in the west (black/death), the person died.
It's all quite fascinating and a way of thinking that is so far removed from our scientific times and Judeo/Christian beliefs, it's hard to comprehend. I believe that being an illiterate society they did the best they could with the basics. Not only that, but they didn't possess the drive to explore, conquer, and obtain that propelled those of European descent.
The Native Americans lived a hard life, but they were happy with it just as the Master of Breath had given it to them. There's a lesson in there for us all.

Saved or Lost?
July 20 | Taken from this message by Adrian Rogers
Jesus said, "For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost" (Luke 19:10).
To be saved is man's greatest need. When I say that I know that truth falls flat because "saved" is an old-fashioned word. In some circles, it is out of date to be saved. (If you are a Christian, you have probably heard that before.) But, one of these days, to be saved is going to make a colossal difference.
When the Titanic set sail, there were some who had exclusive provisions and fine accommodations. Others had meager provisions and sparse accommodations in the steerage below. Still others worked as busboys, waiters, and maids. But when the Titanic sank, only two classifications were made: saved or lost.
There is coming a day when you are going to stand before God and what is going to matter more than anything else in the world is this: Are you saved or are you lost?

Hey Cale,
Who makes the best woods buggy frame? YOU DO!!
Like GRDBO said, frames are frames. You must beef them up to suit your needs. For hardcore woods running, the Bee-Line is the way to go. If you don't want to add your own bracing , you can order it with all that already installed. He offers a whole page of options.

Weekly Updates
Some very cool recordings from Barcelona this week. During the Women's All-around, a 15-year-old Shannon Miller performed the most perfect vault I have ever seen. It's no longer the most difficult vault, but I still regard it as perfectly performed. Then there's the judging discussion during the Women's 3 metre qualifying competition in diving. Cynthia Potter and cohorts sat for about an hour and explained the way judging works in diving. It is fabulous. At the time I wished figure skating would adopt this system. The "new" system for judging figure skating has many of these elements, just not enough of the provisions that prevent bias. It's a great conversation - one that could never have happened on network TV.
Two new pages this week. Arts and Entertainment and Trade Only. I love classical music so many of the recordings here are classical performances. The first entry is my favorite concert by Luciano Pavarotti. I have never seen it available in full and I feel lucky to have it. The Trade Only page is recordings I made of events that are available commercially. The commercial recordings are of much better quality, but I am including these as a part of my complete inventory.
Those vaults are why I started gymnastics! No one does it like Shannon.

I am trying to fast all of ramadan, however I do get sexual urges and since I am not married I masturbate to prevent me from committing zina (i know masturbation is wrong but it stops me from committing worse sins).
My question is during ramadan - if I masturbate is my fast invalid? Does it make a difference if I masturbate at night?

On Tuesday, news broke that Essence, the fashion glossy aimed at black women, had hired a new fashion director. But there was one problem — she was white. The outrage was pretty immediate, with former Essence staffers tweeting, Facebooking, and blogging their "anger" and confusion. Our own Justin Fenner wrote a thoughtful and nuanced piece on the controversy — which we'd recommend reading if you want a catch-up. And now Essence's editor in chief, Angela Burt-Murray has responded.
In a long and insightful essay for The Grio, Burt-Murray explained why, exactly, she hired Ellianna Placas:
I first got to know and came to respect Ellianna when she came to work with us nearly six months ago. We were conducting a search for a new director when she was hired to run the department on a freelance basis. I got to see firsthand her creativity, her vision, the positive reader response to her work, and her enthusiasm and respect for the audience and our brand. As such, I thought she'd make an excellent addition to our team. And I still do. This decision in no way diminishes my commitment to black women, our issues, our fights.
Burt-Murray's explanation confirms our research: that Placas had in fact been working — albeit in a free-lance capacity — for Essence since February. Burt-Murray also notes that while she shares critics' concerns that the fashion industry is "overwhelmingly white," she's surprised at how much outrage the hiring sparked — especially in comparison to some of the other race-based issues Essence has covered. She writes:
But interestingly enough, the things I think should most upset people and inspire boycotts and Facebook protests, often seem to go relatively unnoticed. Like when Essence conducted a three-part education series this year on the plight of black children falling through the cracks in under-performing schools. Crickets. When we reported on the increase in sex trafficking of young black girls in urban communities? Silence. When our writers investigated the inequities in the health care services black women receive? Deadly silence. When our editors highlighted data from the Closing the Gap Initiative report "Lifting as We Climb: Women of Color, Wealth and America's Future" that showed that the median net worth of single black women was $5? There went those darn crickets again. When we run pieces on how unemployment is devastating black men? Nada. When we run story after story on how HIV is the leading cause of death for black women age 18-34? Zilch. The things that really are the end of our world apparently aren't.
We're curious to see what some of Burt-Murray's critics have to say to her op-ed, but we think one of her statements says it best:
Our commitment to black women remains unchanged as we continue to stay laser-focused on those principles–no matter who works with us.

Here\'s Kinzie Kenner in a great hardcore scene. To start off with, there\'s that killer body: great tits, nice ass, and a libido that just won\'t stop! There\'s a little of everything in this scene: deepthroating and cock gagging, hardcore fucking, and of course-another great facial. Actually, a lot of of it went in her mouth-but she blew cum bubbles and let it drip down on those nice tits to make up for that. Check it out!

Life Expectancy: A Novelby Dean Koontz
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
With his bestselling blend of nail-biting intensity, daring artistry, and storytelling magic, Dean Koontz returns with an emotional roller coaster of a tale filled with enough twists, turns, shocks, and surprises for ten ordinary novels. Here is the story of five days in the life of an ordinary man born to an extraordinary legacy — a story that will challenge the way you look at good and evil, life and death, and everything in between.
Jimmy Tock comes into the world on the very night his grandfather leaves it. As a violent storm rages outside the hospital, Rudy Tock spends long hours walking the corridors between the expectant fathers' waiting room and his dying father's bedside. It's a strange vigil made all the stranger when, at the very height of the storm's fury, Josef Tock suddenly sits up in bed and speaks coherently for the frist and last time since his stroke.
What he says before he dies is that there will be five dark days in the life of his grandson — five dates whose terrible events Jimmy will have to prepare himself to face. The first is to occur in his twentieth year; the second in his twent-third year; the third in his twenty-eighth; the fourth in his twenty-ninth; the fifth in his thirtieth.
Rudy is all too ready to discount his father's last words as a dying man's delusional rambling. But then he discovers that Josef also predicted the time of his grandson's birth to the minute, as well as his exact height and weight, and the fact that Jimmy would be born with syndactyly — the unexplained anomal of fused digits — on his left foot. Suddenly the old man's predictions take on a chilling significance.
What terrifying events await Jimmy on these five dark days? What nightmares will he face? What challenges must he survive? As the novel unfolds, picking up Jimmy's story at each of these crisis points, the path he must follow will defy every expectation. And with each crisis he faces, he will move closer to a fate he could never have imagined. For who Jimmy Tock is and what he must accomplish on the five days when his world turns is a mystery as dangerous as it is wondrous — a struggle against an evil so dark and pervasive, only the most extraordinary of human spirits can shine through.
"Of all bestselling authors, Koontz may be the most underestimated by the literary establishment. Book after book, year after year, this author climbs to the top of the charts. Why? His readers know: because he is a master storyteller and a daring writer, and because, in his novels, he gives readers bright hope in a dark world. His new book is an examplar of his extraordinary work. Suspense is difficult to sustain; suspense that's buoyed steadily by humor, even as it deals with the most desperate of circumstances, is nearly impossible — yet Koontz manages it here. As in last year's brilliant Odd Thomas, Koontz writes again in the first person, employing a cleaner, more instantly accessible line than in some of his other work (e.g., this year's The Taking). His narrator is Jimmy Tock, a pastry chef in a Colorado resort town. On the day he was born, Jimmy's dying grandfather predicted five future dates that would be terrible for Jimmy; he might have mentioned, but didn't, the birth day itself, which sees a mass slaying by a bitter, deranged circus clown in the hospital where Jimmy is born. The bulk of the narrative concerns the first terrible day, about 20 years later, when the vengeful son of that clown takes Jimmy and a lovely young woman, Lorrie Hicks, hostage in the local library, with an eye toward destroying the town; Jimmy and the woman live to marry, but will they and their family survive the four subsequent terrible days? Like most of Koontz's novels, this one pits good versus evil and carries a persuasive spiritual message, about the power of love and family and the miracle of existence. As such it deals with serious, perennial themes, yet with its steady drizzle of jokes and witty repartee, it does so with a lightness of touch that few other authors can match. Koontz is a true original and this novel, one of his most unusual yet, will leave readers aglow and be a major bestseller. If the literary establishment would only catch on to him, it might be an award-winner too." Publishers Weekly (Starred Review) (Copyright 2004 Reed Business Information, Inc.)
"Koontz's third astonishing novel in 13 months....
"What a pleasure it is to report that in Life Expectancy, Koontz takes risks. The book is not simply great fun; it dares to address a serious question: In an age of color-coded terror alerts, how are we supposed to live normal lives?" Los Angeles Times
"[T]he suspense is minimal despite all the guns and dread....Readers will need all the suspense possible to keep them wading through the comedy lines. Koontz is a topflight suspense writer, but this error only the fans will love." Kirkus Reviews
"Mr. Koontz is a skillful storyteller....Life Expectancy offers a clear illustration of what he does right....

I don't care for the whole 3D thing, but I've noticed that the new Texas Chainsaw has some credible actors attached to it... most notably Bill Moseley and Gunnar Hansen. And if I remember correctly it's supposed to be a direct sequel to the original, so I can see some potential there.
I don't know much about World War Z. I know it's a book I should probably get ahold of before the movie comes out. Zombies are always fun. Mostly.
Yeah RZ has NOTHING to do with the new Halloween. Apparently it's a remake / new story kinda thing. RZ didn't do Halloween so he could do Lords Of Salem. Speaking of that they cast for LOS is awsome. Most of the cast from Devils Rejects among other well known Horror actors. No details really about Halloween 3D though.
And yea Texas Chainsaw is sorta another vision of a sequel to the original one. No trailer yet but there really hasn't been a bad Texas Chainsaw other than next generation.
I really wonder how 3D will work for these movies though.

I enjoyed the story Wog very much. I could tell right away it was going to be a page turner. From hearing the title you would think it was about a witch or something of that nature. But in reality it isn't about that at all.It's a story about a beetle who gets stuck in a spider's web, who tells stories to weasle his way out of being eaten. This story has a great moral, and would be great for younger kids ages 5-8.

To The Editor:
The Honorable Governor Cuomo is leading again forging ahead with political courage seldom seen today. Unlike many current Governors who duck the hard issues leading from behind with little or no substance statements, Cuomo has taken on the tough stuff. But he is not alone, our Assemblywoman Addie Russell is a strong advocate standing with Governor Cuomo as Chair of the Committee to bring this legislation forward.
What is this legislation about? It is a stand on the rights of women to be treated fairly; to have protections the male of our species take for granted. His 10 point Womens Equality Agenda appears to be a no-brainer to me but then I am a woman. The idea of pay equity is a question of economic fairness. Many women are their own head of household with all the bills and concerns that we all have. Protecting womens right to choose and control her own body, to be safe from domestic violence and human trafficking appears logical and reasonable to me.
But then I fought the fight in the old days. It was when women were definitely second class citizens. We had to take matters into our own hands, be aggressive and push forward being labeled feminists as if that were a dirty word. It wasnt then and it isnt now. We, as women, want fair and equal treatment. The concept of women as a minority still leaves me shaking my head. We are roughly half of the population!
Great strides have been made but there is still a lot to be done to provide half of our population the protection it deserves. So a big thank you to Assemblywoman Russell and Governor Cuomo. I applaud your courage and am proud to be a supporter of your efforts on behalf of the women in New York state.

Michigan State coach Mark Dantonio.
- Filed Under
Michigan State coach Mark Dantonio held a brief news conference late Sunday night to review the Spartans' 38-31 loss at California one day earlier.
"We've got to regroup a little bit," he said. "When you go away and play a good football team like Cal ... you can't make mistakes. The one thing we have to look at is we left too many points off the board, especially in the first quarter, where we had the punt blocked for a touchdown ... and the opening."

Share Your Bob Waldmire Memories
Our friend and Route 66's, Bob Waldmire, passed away nearly 3 years ago on December 16. As we look back and remember Bob, his unique personality, distinctive artwork and dedication to the Mother Road, we are curious about what your memories of Bob are.
Please do us all the favor of sharing your Bob Waldmire memories here on our website. Simply leave them in the comments section of this post. It will be an incredibly moving and joyful tribute to one of Route 66's fiercest advocates. Thank you in advance for sharing your memories of Bob with all of us!
To further commemorate Bob, on Saturdays only, starting on December 15,2012, twelve Bob Waldmire art prints will be available as a gift with donation at $5.00 each or 3 for $12.00 at our Hall of Fame and Museum, located at 110 W Howard St, Pontiac, IL.
The 8 1/2" x 11" prints depict iconic Route 66 locations, illustrated in Bob's distinctive style and each comes in its own envelope. These art prints will make wonderful gifts for the roadie in your life.
I was privileged to know Bob Waldmire during the last few years of his life, as my family used to visit him in his Hackberry store whenever we travelled through Arizona. He was a consummate artist, principled in his beliefs and uncompromising. He had so many projects going, and seemed to all too well aware that he would not live long enough to accomplish too many more of them. I was sad to hear when he sold his store for next to nothing, because that was his base and he was accessible there to the public. His bus and VW van were ingeneously built homes, his talents were in so many areas, and he was a unique and largely unknown true American Treasure. I miss him a lot.

This might be a stupid question, but i've googled it and couldn't find it. I've stopped playing sro for while and now i am kinda back and i tried to download agbot, but unfortunately, i couldn't. I tried to go to the agbot offical website, but can't access it. I've tried to download it from here, but all the links are broken. So is agbot still available or they stopped it. Also, whats agbot.net? Is that the new site?
** I didn't download it from there there (agbot.net) cause it looks suspicious, anyways i didn't want to take any risk without asking people from here.

Larry Newman has crowded a lot of aviation history into his life. A co-inventor of the ultra-light airplane. A pilot on the first balloon flight across the Pacific Ocean in 1981. A manufacturer of experimental aircraft, Lear Jet pilot, and 757 Captain with America West for ten years. He also flew with Maxie Anderson and Ben Abruzzo in 1978 when Double Eagle II successfully crossed the Atlantic Ocean.
An incredible experience? "It was certainly a special experience," he recalls, "but also consistent with what I had done before. I had already won the world hang gliding championships and had been involved with aviation since an infant. This was not so much a ballooning, but an aviation related adventure. It required a lot of planning and a lot of risk. It was a good feeling but not completely new in regards to the adventure."
After the failure of Double Eagle I, Ben Abruzzo and Max Anderson cast about for a third pilot to accompany them on Double Eagle II and share in the duties and responsibilities of the flight. Larry Newman remembers the reason he ended up on the flight. "Ben Abruzzo was a surrogate father and my closest friend."
Beginning in 1974, the two men had developed a business relationship and a deep personal relationship. Newman counts off the many things they did together. "Ben had invested in my hang gliding manufacturing company. We flew airplanes together. We had bought a Lear Jet together. I taught him how to fly hang gliders. He involved me in many of his business dealings."
Newman says, "When they decided to fly again, they went to several balloonists who declined, and then Ben told me his perspective on the adventure and it fit right in with my lifestyle. He asked Maxie and Maxie said that as long as I put up a third of the money it would be no problem."
The only problem for Newman was how to drum up the cash. To fund his third of the trip, Newman came up with the idea of bringing his hang glider along. As a promotional effort, and a tax write-off for his business, Newman could fly it to the ground when Double Eagle II reached France.
In retrospect, Newman is fortunate they had to ditch the hang glider late in the flight because, "It would have probably negated the record and it would have been more of a personal stunt than actually being part of a team. And not a great promotion for my product, either."
The flight of Double Eagle II has been chronicled in many places, most notably in a National Geographic article in December, 1978, and the 1979 book by Charles McCarry, "Double Eagle."
Therefore, a blow-by-blow account isn't necessary here but a few personal remembrances by Larry Newman are appropriate.
"The first night we took off (August 11, 1978 from Presque Isle, Maine), Ben and Maxie immediately went to sleep. We had a fatiguing day preparing and an equally exciting launch, almost electrocuting ourselves when my hang glider hit a powerline immediately after takeoff." They dragged though a field and finally got airborne. "We're now at 8000 feet, Ben and Maxie are asleep; it's perfectly quiet in the gondola. That night the Aurora Borealis was intense as was a rare meteor shower so the sky was lit up with meteors the entire nighttime."
Newman had never been in a gas balloon before and only once in a hot air balloon for 15 minutes. "It was really eerie to be floating along in a soundproof room which amplified the sounds of a train, a waterfall, vehicles on the road, and some animals. It was surreal," as if something he'd dreamed about. "That was very unique."
With no rancor, Newman also recalls the mood in the gondola of Double Eagle II for the rest of the flight across the North Atlantic. "Relationships were contentious because we weren't really a team. Ben Abruzzo and Maxie Anderson were at odds for the majority of the flight." With three pilots in the gondola, everything led to majority rule. "In virtually every instance I sided with Ben, based on what I saw as logic, and that caused a lot of friction."
Newman recalls volunteering, "To do everything when I was asked." He was never reluctant to do what was necessary. "I think Ben was the same. In my opinion, Ben was the Captain of the flight and that made it very easy for me to go along with decisions that I thought were reasonable that Ben made. I think Maxie went along as well because there isn't that much to do on a balloon and when two people begin on a task that requires three people, it's difficult for the third person not to go along."
Back in 1978 there was much discussion in some circles over the plan for Double Eagle II to fly at high altitudes. Some pilots felt the only way to successfully cross the Atlantic was to stay low to the surface of the ocean. Newman scoffs at the thought that what they did was innovative. "It's not innovative at all. It's not today and it wasn't then."
The way Newman explains it, "The physics behind gas ballooning dictates that every day the balloon will be higher than it was the day before based on the loss of ballast when sunset comes. So, a stair step profile is what happens. It's not what people look for, it just happens." Double Eagle II ended up at a higher altitude only because, "Every day we were 10% lighter than the day before. So we edged up just under 25,000 feet by the fifth day. But it wasn't anything we created or envisioned. We knew that the higher we'd go, the stronger the winds would blow but that is standard in meteorology."
Newman still meets people who tell him that they followed the flight and he thinks that is wonderful but, "That's not the same as being there." Perspective is the main reason he feels this way. "When we flew Double Eagle II, everybody on the ground had a concept on what was going on but a spectator is a spectator." Newman says that, "Even people on the ground as part of our support team are spectators. They don't really know what went on with us. The dynamics of the three crew members is a huge part of the flight." People have made comments about what they should have done but, "Nobody can know what went on unless they're there."
Larry Newman's experience with Double Eagle II, Double Eagle V (the Pacific flight), as well as a lifetime of aviation experience gives him a unique view on current round-the-world flight plans. "With crossing the ocean, regardless of how serious people think of the danger, there is the risk of perishing."
It had happened in previous Atlantic crossing attempts. In September of 1970, Malcolm Brighton and his two-person crew perished when Free Life went down 30 hours into their flight. Thomas Gatch, in Light Heart, went down in February, 1974 and died. Many others tried to cross the Atlantic and ended up wet, but alive. And Maxie Anderson and Ben Abruzzo first flight in Double Eagle I almost ended in disaster.
"Everyone thinks that going around the world is just a matter of building a big balloon and filling it up gas and equipment and then going. But the technology isn't really here yet. It's so complex, it's like trying to fly the space shuttle without a test flight. It's not going to happen for a while; at least in my mind."
Nevertheless, Newman wishes them all the best of luck because, "Anyone who puts together this kind of project deserves success. This is not like taking a hot air balloon out in the morning and having eight of your friends help you inflate it, flying along until the winds get to ten knots, and landing it."
For Newman it is much more. "This is risking your life and essentially stopping everything in your life for years to prepare. You're facing barriers that no one really comprehends. Not even you, and it's your project. You don't know what the barrier is until you work on it." For these reasons, Newman says, "I wish them all a tremendous amount of luck and success with any mission that's attempting to fly."
As for his own twentieth anniversary plans to celebrate Double Eagle II, Newman doesn't have any. "For me it was just another adventure. While it had a positive outcome, it wasn't one of the more difficult things I've done. I don't mean that because I was anything special. I was a passenger. I didn't really understand all the dynamics of ballooning at that time."
Newman returns to a subject that all long-distance balloonists seem to mention. "I'll be the first to admit that I'll take luck over skill any day. There was a tremendous amount of luck in our success. It wasn't just skill." He says that Double Eagle V and crossing the Pacific Ocean was much more complex. "Around the world is a hundred times more complex."
"Most people look at the success of Double Eagle II because it was an emotional victory for people. Everybody, including people who had nothing to do with us, enjoyed the success of that mission. I look at it as a great event and I think of Ben and Maxie more than just on occasion. I think of those two men and what we were able to achieve together and for me that is essentially celebrating the victory. The anniversary for me is just another day in history."

Cancer Revolution Is Possible With More Flexible FDA
June 09, 2011
Paul Howard
Last week, at a meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology, ASCO President George Sledge painted a hopeful, but also challenging, picture about new genomic technologies for fighting cancer.
These technologies can unravel the genetic mechanisms driving the disease and point the way to new strategies to overcome cancer-drug resistance.
Sledges enthusiasm was balanced by realism: Revolutionary progress against cancer will depend not so much on the technology we use, as on our ability to rethink old paradigms for drug development and Food and Drug Administration drug approval.
Cancer is a disease defined by uncontrolled cell growth that occurs when the bodys normal mechanisms for correcting or preventing genetic mutations fail.
Once a cell accumulates enough mutations for uncontrolled growth and metastasis, it spreads throughout the body like a virus. And like a virus, it can mutate to evade the very drugs that are designed to kill it.
New genetic-sequencing tools have helped researchers understand that many different genetic pathways can drive tumor growth. These pathways can even change over time, as tumors continue to mutate.
This means that finding a single "magic bullet" to kill many types of metastatic solid tumors is extraordinarily unlikely. Traditional chemotherapy can kill some vulnerable cells, but it leaves others to develop resistance or grow using different pathways altogether.
As Sledge put it, attacking cancer will require not a "magic bullet" but a "magic shotgun," where multiple drugs attacking multiple cancer-causing pathways are given to patients at the same time.
The key challenge will be matching cocktails to the particular tumor mutations of particular patients.
The good news is that with the rapidly falling cost of genome sequencing, it may soon be possible for cancer patients to have their tumors tested to identify the key mutations driving their disease and then (hopefully) match them with drug cocktails designed to shut them down.
The problem is that regulators have traditionally insisted that companies test one drug at a time, and they wont allow a drug to be sold unless it can prove it "works" on its own.
This flies in the face of what science is telling us about cancer biology: not only will it require cocktail treatments for maximum effect, but its even possible that a drug thats useless on its own could turn out to be a critical component in a cocktail. The FDA has issued an interim guidance for companies testing drugs in combination, but more work needs to be done.
Another problem: Companies have been hesitant to share information about drugs in development that might be used in a prospective cocktail with a competitors product.
Concerns about patent protection, lack of standardized biomarkers for measuring a drugs effect on specific pathways, and the complexity of designing drug trials testing multiple potential cocktails simultaneously have all slowed progress.
Overcoming these obstacles will require a new paradigm for drug discovery and approval, and new diagnostics that empower individual patients and their physicians to learn about their cancers and quickly find drugs to treat them.
Regulators must shift from their traditional role of approving drugs to validating new diagnostic tools (like biomarkers) that allow physicians and patients to personalize new treatments "on the fly," rather than after years of laborious research.
Companies will have to find innovative ways of sharing data that suggest which drugs work best in combination. And oncologists will have to embrace electronic health records that allow researchers to analyze genomic tumor data and drive new drug development.
Cancer research is revealing that "genomic chaos" -- the rapid ability of tumors to mutate -- underlies the ability of cancer cells to evade traditional treatment approaches.
Reaching the full promise of personalized medicine to tame cancer will require a reinvention of drug development and drug approval that transforms this "chaos" into usable, life-saving information.

Remember Me
With a long chain of broken hearts and the warbling songbird flutter of young Dolly Parton, Norway's Ane Brun is a just below the radar roots music jewel. Looking like a proper coal miner's daughter on the cover in her plaid shirt and simple black skirt, she's also lightly haunted, ready to bury her ex-lovers and their ghosts (which may explain the spectral shadow slumped over depressingly behind her in the cover shot). By the time "The Fall," only the second track, begins to peel away her soul piece-by-piece you'll be wondering, "Why in the hell haven't I heard of this lovely, lonely gal before?" Just call it America's musical protectionism, where even stunning artists have a hard time busting into our consciousness if they aren't from the States (or perhaps "America Jr." to the North). And despite the intrinsic twang of her pipes this ain't all folksy mope. "The Puzzle" suggests a far less mannered Bjork with Brun gliding over gray strings and a voluptuous, upward swell, while "Ten Seconds" dances in Dusty Springfield turf, But, it's likely the title cut that'll get stuck in your craw, one of those patiently growing bits of intimacy that endears an artist, music to stuff in a locket and ponder when the hours slow and dusk sends us our thoughts winging. That it isn't the only track to vibrate on that level marks Ane Brun as a singer-songwriter worthy of deeper inspection.
