text: The problem is: A mass m and a mass 2m are attached to a light string of unstretched length [tex] 3l _{0} [/tex], so as to divide it into 3 equal segments. The string is streched between rigid supports a distance [tex] 3l \textgreater 3l _{0} [/tex] apart and the masses are free to oscillate longitudinally. The oscillations are of small enough amplitude that the string is never slack. The tension in each segment is k times the extension. The masses are initially displaced slightly in the same direction so that mass m is held at a distance [tex] \sqrt{3} -1 [/tex] further from its equilibrium position than the mass 2m. They are released simultaneously from rest. The task is to show that they oscillate in phase and explain why. I have found the general solution and applied the initial conditions and found the solution for this particular case to be: [tex]{x _{1} \choose x _{2} } = {-1 - \sqrt{3} \choose 1} ( \frac{- \sqrt{3} }{2}(a+1)+ \frac{1}{2})cos \omega _{1} t+ {1- \sqrt{3} \choose 1} (a+ \frac{ \sqrt{3} }{2} (a+1)- \frac{1}{2} )cos \omega _{2}t[/tex] where I set a to be the initial displacement of mass 2m. Is my answer correct and how do I show that the oscillate in phase?

Studying Diversity in Teacher Education is a collaborative effort by experts seeking to elucidate one of the most important issues facing education today. First, the volume examines historically persistent, yet unresolved issues in teacher education and presents research that is currently being done to address these issues. Second, it centers on research on diverse populations, bringing together both research on diversity and research on diversity in teacher education. The contributors present frameworks, perspectives and paradigms that have implications for reframing research on complex issues that are often ignored or treated too simplistically in teacher education literature. Concluding the volume with an agenda for future research and a guide for preparing teachers for diversity education in a global context, the contributors provide a solid foundation for all educators. Studying Diversity in Teacher Education is a vital resource for all those interested in diversity and education research.

Re: DLC 5 IdeaDumbass78 Jul 29, 2014 8:49 AM (in response to Michael-Westen)
That would be good for us that never played MW2 - MW3 was awesome, thats the first COD I played. I'd rather they put more effort into correcting lag issues & getting more players online....You're quite right - Terminal is a classic...maybe time for a revamp(again)!!!
I was hoping for a return to the old skool like Korean War or Vietnam (probably already covered) but all this future stuff is worrying me AW will be like Titanfall - I don't want to kill aliens or robots just plain old infantry and if a headshot with a sniper rifle could vapourise players heads all the better!
Re: DLC 5 Ideastarbuckfrack Jul 30, 2014 6:10 AM (in response to Michael-Westen)
Even though I agree some of the best maps WERE in MW2, the one with the lodge was my favorite.
I am pretty sure holding petitions even for a good cause is a no-no. But you CAN do a vote (Yes, No) .
Re: DLC 5 Ideanewm8n Jul 30, 2014 9:13 PM (in response to starbuckfrack)
estate i think is the one your talking about
I would like to see
trailer park
Re: DLC 5 IdeaDumbass78 Jul 31, 2014 5:23 AM (in response to newm8n)
I reckon no one will be saying they want to see any of the Ghosts maps revamped in the future!! Warhawk, Tremor, Prison Break about the only decent ones. Still no news on Nemesis either....
Re: DLC 5 IdeaXx67Customs Jul 31, 2014 11:24 AM (in response to Dumbass78)
If they don't remake Stonehaven in a future CoD game, I am going to be super sad.
Re: DLC 5 IdeaDumbass78 Aug 4, 2014 2:22 AM (in response to Xx67Customs)
I have forgotten alot of the original maps from playng DLC maps only- seems to take forever to get a HC game not on Invasion....With a sniper rifle Stonehaven is fun
Re: DLC 5 IdeaMichael-Westen Aug 1, 2014 11:14 AM (in response to Dumbass78)
Strikezone and Collision were pretty good.
Re: DLC 5 IdeaMichael-Westen Aug 1, 2014 11:15 AM (in response to starbuckfrack)

November 25, 2015
MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) -- Thirteen people arrested in a multi-state dog fighting investigation have been rescheduled for trial in May.
The defendants from Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi and Texas had originally been scheduled for trial in February, but U.S. District Judge Keith Watkins delayed it to the trial term beginning May 8 in Montgomery.
Defense attorneys had sought a delay to have more time to prepare for trial. They said they need the time to go through 15,000 pages of documents turned over by federal prosecutors.
All 13 defendants have entered not guilty pleas.
The 13 were indicted by a federal grand jury in Opelika. Watkins said the trial will be in Montgomery rather than Opelika because the federal courtroom in Opelika is not large enough to accommodate all the defendants and their attorneys.

Have A Massive Impact Through Your Life & Business
Discover the most practical training program available for entrepreneurs, business owners and professionals who want to master change in their own lives and lead change in others.
Apply the HIGHLY EFFECTIVE mind science strategies used by Nic and his clients to achieve remarkable results in business and life.
You are just ONE step away from a massive shift forward.
If you're ready, then I'd like to change things up for you.
I use a proven system of mind science that has a massive and lasting impact. I coach executives, entrepreneurs, and professionals to have transformative breakthroughs in their personal and business lives.
I combine my experience with the best strategies in the world in a unique an exclusive program called Massive Impact.
The Massive Impact Matrix (TM) is a highly evolved system that you can use to change anything. These meta-principles apply in every situation you will ever face. From launching a business to getting in the best shape of your life ... it all starts here.
Without knowing this system you are trying to change your world without understanding how to, or what's getting in your way. There are FOUR key areas that people struggle with. What if, instead of struggling to do well in just one area, you were able to develop mastery in them all? This is what I challenge you to think about. This is the journey I invite you to join.
Your Mind
Your mind and brain work together in mysterious ways to guide your behavior.
By combining ancient wisdom with modern brain science I give you a back stage pass to what's going on inside your mind and in the minds of others. I show you how to master change in your own life, and lead change in others, even though it might feel like you are not in control.
Your Business
The money you attract represents the contribution you make. The greater the value of your contribution, the greater the flow of money.
The impact you have can be highly leveraged through the smart use digital media and the principles of mind science, influence and human behaviour.
Welcome to a highly unique combination of conscious awareness, mindset, digital media and neuro-marketing.
Your body is the primary machinery of your life ... and when the machine breaks down, your life breaks down.
Your form (body) controls how you function, and so a loss of form causes a loss of function. You cannot create the life and business that you want if you have lost form and function.
A fit body has a fit mind. The mind and body are inter-related. Ignore one, and the other will fall apart.
Fitness is more than being 'healthy'. Fitness is the ultimate you in form and function.
Our life purpose is our contribution through connection. Whether it's intimacy with your partner, or a business connection with a customer ... the connected being is a thriving being.
Conflict prevents contribution, because conflict tears connection apart. The world is full of conflicted, disconnected people who are unable to make their best contribution. This has a massive negative effect on their mind and well-being.
By resolving conflict you re-connect and start to contribute. The first place to start is with yourself.

By Michael Hiestand, USA TODAY
You don't have to wonder what TV sports would look like if networks owned the events they cover. Just watch this weekend's ESPN-owned Bassmaster Classic, which includes 13 hours on ESPN2, live weigh-ins (of the caught and soon-to-be-released fish) on ESPN360.com and a mini-marathon of past Classic moments on ESPN Classic.
ESPN will deploy about 26 cameras to catch fizzing, flipping, drop-shotting and dead-sticking, including shots from camera operators on anglers' boats and fixed on-boat cameras to create online footage. With competitors potentially spread across 100 miles of the Red River outside Shreveport, La., ESPN boats will speed footage ashore where it will be ferried by helicopter to TV production trucks.
As onboard camera operators capture "the most intimate audio you can get," says ESPN producer Jerry Vaillancourt, they'll also be wired for sound and "anything is fair game" for eavesdropping. But overheard comments, he cautions, won't necessarily be credible. For taped coverage aired in prime time this weekend, he says, some anglers might offer nearby mikes some misinformation about where, say, fish congregate at various times of day — "they may deceive."
The Classic this year includes Kim Bain-Moore as its first female contestant — "this is a breakthrough for the sport," says Vaillancourt — amid the wall-to-wall coverage.
And yet ESPN, whose hype for its owned-and-operated fishing has included a short-lived SportsCenter spinoff called BassCenter, has its limits. ESPN still doesn't offer any underwater shots zooming on, say, bass biting into plastic worms mistaken for the real thing. Says Vaillancourt: "The water is too murky, especially with a river like this. Visibility is maybe 2 feet."
Still, it'd be nice to see if the big ones that got away were really big.
TV turns combine into 'NFL Idol'
Back in the 20th century, getting to see the happy feet, hip snaps and three-cone drills in the NFL combine was by invitation only.
But with on-field action this weekend, it's a TV show on NFL Network — which managed to land the exclusive broadcast rights from, well, its owner.
At a literal level, viewers can watch rituals such as the 5-10-5 shuttle, meant to measure lateral mobility. But, suggests NFL Network executive producer Eric Weinberger, there's a bigger picture: "This is our AmericanIdol."
Except costumes and hair aren't key. The idea, with about 600 NFL personnel on hand, is to poke and prod about 300 prospects to gauge their NFL potential. NFL Network, with at least 17 on-air types, including recently fired Tampa Bay Buccaneers coach Jon Gruden, will offer 25 hours of live programming. Online, it will have simulcasts of the TV coverage as well as alternate camera angles on things such as the 40-yard runs and position drills.
"The participation has gone up and I like to think that has something to do with TV coverage," NFL Network producer Mark Loomis says. "It's a job interview in front of everybody."
To bag more viewers, PBA chooses plastic
Here's a novelty that more sports should try: See how today's pros would fare using old-school gear.
Like a tennis tournament today that would require entrants to use wooden racquets, the Professional Bowlers Association has one word for its bowlers: plastic.
The Geico Plastic Ball Championship (ESPN, 1 p.m. ET, Sunday) will use the same type of plastic balls that tour pros slung in the 1980s, before moving on to reactive resin urethane balls that are easier to hook, quickly raised everyday players' scores and, says PBA Tour Chief Operating Officer Tom Clark, put the pro game "on steroids."
Some players aren't happy — Wes Malott, the PBA's points leader, won't attend Sunday — with what Clark happily calls the "most controversial" tour stop in memory.
But the idea isn't just to use novelty to draw attention to a sport whose shows draw about 1% of U.S. cable TV households.
The larger point, Clark says, is to bridge the "disconnect" that viewers might have in seeing how much better the pros are than civilians in bowling leagues. Using plastic balls — sort of like the plastic ones you use at bowling alleys if you don't bring your own ball — will allow pros to show how good they are even when they're not helped by the latest technology.
Which suggests another experiment the PBA should try: Make their stars compete in well-worn bowling alley rental shoes.

again today the shares are up. I think the payout on the U.S.. properties depends on the production by the end of June. 2013 We should have Q1 500 bbls/d online plus another 500bbls/d from drilling in Q2. Production in North Dakota could be around 2500 bbls/d or slightly higher, this would form the basis for the payout on the U.S. assets. 3 wells in Q1 and 7 wells in Q2 at Princess would deliver 1800 bbl/d of oil if they average 180 bbl/d like the first well. There is quite a bit of growth forecast in 1H.

CSNNE.comPHILADELPHIA Here are five thoughts from the third period with the Bruins taking down the Flyers by a 2-1 score after 60 minutes of black-and-blue play at the Wells Fargo Center.1)It appeared that Chris Kelly might a question mark for the third period after the leg check by Blair Betts, but he was the last guy out for a quick warm-up and battled through the third period.2)Milan Lucic fanned on a perfect one-timer attempt midway through the third period and really looks out of synch offensively over the last couple of games.3)Five shots on net for Shawn Thornton. Somebody remind me to ask him after the game if he gets paid per shot.4)Everybodys favorite player to hate is at it again in the third period as Mike Richards whacks Tomas Kaberle in the face with a high stick, and then shoves at the Bs defenseman when hes checking his chicklets and throat to make sure everything is still in working order.5)Huge time for Brad Marchand to get his 20th goal of the season. First goal in a month for the rookie as hed battled through some frustration over the last few weeks.

Religious Need Not Apply?
Imagine that a national political figure made a controversial statement that was highly offensive to black people and the leader of a black organization was to publicly rebuke him for it. Suppose that you then opened your newspaper one morning, turned to the opinion page, and in a syndicated column were to read that although the politician had stuck his foot in his mouth he was now out of hot water because "Canadians don't like black people involving themselves, at all, in politics." Would you find this statement to be offensive? If so, what would you consider to be most offensive about it, that it expresses racist sentiments or that it presumptuously attributes those sentiments to you and your countrymen?
There are many substitutions you can make for the main variable in the above scenario. You could substitute any other racial group other than white Europeans for black people. Or you could substitute women or homosexuals. Run the scenario again with each of these substitutions and you will probably get the same results. Progressive, liberal, and forward thinking people would be appalled to read such remarks in their newspaper and would probably put pressure on the editor to stop running the column.
What if, however, we were to substitute "Christians" for "black people"? Or "religious people" used in such a way that many if not most people would automatically read it as meaning "Christians".
This, it would appear, is somehow different because we were recently treated to just such a comment and by a progressive, liberal, forward thinking commentator, nonetheless.
The national political figure was Justin Trudeau who, a little over a year ago, was elected leader of the Liberal Party, presumably on the basis of his youth, good looks, and family name. He is the son of Pierre Elliott Trudeau, the lawyer and far left editor, writer and activist from Quebec who entered federal politics in the 1960s as a member of the Liberal Party and succeeded Lester Pearson as leader of the Liberals and Prime Minister. Under his leadership the Liberal Party went from being the party of free trade and continentalism, founded with its lips firmly pressed against Uncle Sam's rear end, to being the party of socialism, multiculturalism and post-modern moral relativism (in other words a huge redundancy as we already had the NDP for that). Take your pick as to which version of the Liberal Party was most repulsive – it is six of one, half a dozen of the other. In the decade and a half that Pierre Trudeau governed Canada as the head of the Liberal Party he did everything he could to undermine the political, cultural, and social traditions of both English and French Canada, while ruining the country's economy, saddling us with an enormous debt, and creating a constitutional crisis that long threatened to tear the country apart. The reason I bring all this up is because Trudeau fils is doing an excellent job of making Trudeau père look good by comparison.
The controvers y the young Trudeau provoked a few weeks ago was over abortion. The day before the annual March for Life in Ottawa he announced that future Liberal candidates would be expected to vote the party line with regards to abortion and defined that party line as pro-choice – no legislative restriction on abortion. Needless to say, Trudeau's stance did not impress the Roman Catholic Church, whose members have traditionally tended to vote Liberal in Canada. Trudeau himself is a member of the Roman Catholic Church and claims, despite his obvious disagreement with the Church on this key ethical issue, to be devout. Catholic leaders have condemned Trudeau's stance and last week, in an interview with the CBC, the Catholic Bishop of Ottawa described Trudeau's support for abortion as "scandalous".
Enter Warren Kinsella. Warren Kinsella is, among other disagreeable things, a lawyer, a punk rocker, a former Liberal Party strategist, and a progressive, forward minded, liberal. He writes a column for the Toronto Sun which is carried by the other papers in the Sun chain, including the Winnipeg Sun. As these papers generally have a right-of-centre, neo-conservative slant, Kinsella's left-of-centre column tends to stand out.
Last Friday an article by Kinsella entitled "Trudeau leaps blindly into abortion debate" appeared on page 9 of the Winnipeg Sun. In the first half of the column Kinsella praised as reasonable Trudeau's earlier statement that the party's position is "we do not reopen (the abortion) debate" but then pointed out that by declaring that future candidates would have to toe the party line Trudeau had done just that. He further observed that Trudeau has dug himself deeper into this hole with his confusing and contradictory attempts to salvage the situation.
Then, however, Kinsella went on to talk about and quote from the Catholic Bishop's remarks, suggesting that by rebuking Trudeau, the bishop has provided him with a way out of the mess he has made. Here is the reasoning he used to arrive at this conclusion:
"As Stockwell Day learned the hard way, Canadians favour a wall between church and state. And they don't like the religious involving themselves, at all, in politics."
It is interesting the different ways in which different people remember certain events. When I think back to the federal election of 2000 in which Stockwell Day led the Canadian Alliance, I do not recall "Canadians" as a whole mocking or attacking Stockwell Day because of his Christian faith. I remember progressive and liberal media elites doing so, especially a certain Liberal Party strategist.
Tories, if and when they are ever true to their own principles, look to their country's long-rooted traditions and institutions as the foundation of their policies. Progressives look instead to the "will of the people". Since the people don't actually have a collective will, unless you count that which is filtered through time and expressed as tradition and which is hence on the side of the Tory rather than the progressive, progressives have to supply the people with one, which inevitably is indistinguishable from the progressive's own will. Which is why, in this country, one frequently finds progressive writers in an arrogant and condescending tone, telling Canadians what they think.
On almost any issue, Canadians have a wide diversity of ideas. There are those, like myself, who are Tories and support Canada's traditions and institutions. Then there are those who for some reason or another – perhaps they had a nasty fall when they were children, perhaps they are lacking some important nutrient in their diet, perhaps they have been breathing in too many noxious fumes of one sort or another – are progressive and think more like Kinsella. Of course there are many other viewpoints out there as well. The closest thing to a general consensus among Canadians is that we are not Americans (referring to America in the sense of the country not the continents). Almost everyone agrees about this. Traditional Tories say that we are not Americans with a sense of patriotic pride in our country's Loyalist heritage and traditions. Neoconservatives agree that we are not Americans but with a sense of regret that we were not part of what they consider to be the great experiment in freedom and democracy shaping the ultimate destiny of the world. Progressives like to say that we are not Americans in the context of telling us what we think, even if what they say we think has less to do with our own country's traditions and institutions than it does with the United States.
This can be the source of great irony. Note that in the sentences quoted earlier in which the progressive Kinsella tells Canadians what they think, he attributes to them the American concept of a "wall between church and state". The idea of a "wall between church and state" is not a Canadian idea, nor is it part of our political tradition or constitution. The expression comes from a letter that Thomas Jefferson, author of the Declaration of Independence and third President of the United States wrote in 1802 to the Danbury Baptist Association in Connecticut. Jefferson was explaining the significance of the First Amendment to the American Constitution. Furthermore, when Jefferson wrote about "the wall of separation between church and state" he was clearly expressing a liberal, democratic fear of the power of the state, not a progressive contempt for religion. This wall, as Jefferson saw it, was to keep Congress out of religion, not to keep religion from having any say in politics.
Kinsella therefore, has not only attributed to Canadians the belief in a political concept that is part of the American tradition rather than our own, he has also transformed that concept into its polar opposite, a fence to keep "the religious" out of politics rather than a defensive wall protecting religion from state intrusion.
We have not yet mined the irony in Kinsella's remarks to its full depth. The author of The Web of Hate has built a reputation for himself, among his supporters as an expert on bigotry, among his detractors as a jerk who likes to bully his opponents on the right with accusations of bigotry. You can decide for yourself which version is more accurate, but note in doing so, the irony that this same self-appointed expert on bigotry and hatred, who in the federal election of fourteen years ago publicly ridiculed the leader of the Canadian Alliance for his evangelical Christian beliefs, wrote "the religious" rather than "religion".
Then ask yourselves whether you, as Canadians, feel complimented or insulted at having this progressive sentiment attributed to yourselves.

Absolutely right on! I'm tired of these media types telling me what I believe, as if I didn't already know what I believe, or was too dumb to form my own opinion. It IS insulting and condescending! And then, on top of that, he doesn't even get the concepts, right; instead, twisting them to suit his own purposes. No one who does that can be taken credibly or seriously. Why he is writing for the Sun, and not you, is beyond me! This needs to change!ReplyDelete

A Quick Trip Down Mammary Lane: Britney Spears stays hydrated as she does a bit of shopping during her recent concert stop in London. Not that she was in danger of drying out, at least based on the barometric reading we're getting off her overtaxed salmon tank top, which clearly indicates a cold front is moving in. Nipping at its heels: a low-pressure system that Brit could easily head off by popping into Victoria's Secret, if only she were remotely interested in keeping her pride and joy (pride is the one on the left; joy is on the right) under wraps. Spears has long answered the question "To bra or not to bra?" with a resounding, "No way, y'all!" And despite covering plenty of ground on the road to recovery, Britney has still gotta be Britney. And that means letting her Cheetos roam free. And why shouldn't she, other than potential lawsuits over accidental eye-pokings? With so much of her post-psych-ward life controlled by others, Spears undoubtedly wants to exert her independence where she can, so we all just have to make the breast of it.

You are correct. This cloak is the final marketing of the research we have all been studying.
What is bothersome is that he won't discuss it for reasons of "security". Oh really? What does that mean?
It means that it is used by the military and they don't want enemies to know how it works. Why develop something and them tell the enemy how it works? and how to spot your soldiers using it ? That would not be smart .

You mean like this?
I think the point here is whether the team did a good job overall with the integration. Particularly since this one is a "community" respin without the full complement of distribution support, I'd say that they did pretty well overall, but it's also clear that lacking that one leader, like Clem with Mint, Texstar with PCLinuxOS, Patrick Volkerding with Slackware, or Warren Woodford with SimplyMEPIS, the community edition just slightly misses on product quality, messing up the localization of the splash screen and the correct configuration of the video and sound – even though the core sound server works properly. These are relatively small, but fairly important, details, nothing that a release team and a good QA team couldn't easily tackle and fix. I think that Clem has some ideas to better integrate the respins with the core team and that may help the next few releases.

You must not have used Kubuntu lately. No longer is Kubuntu a second class citizen and that is proved out by the reviews of Kubuntu 9.10. It is one of the most polished and stable KDE distributions that you can install. But enough of that and back to Mint. I'm not a KDE fan but my wife uses Mint on her computer. Mint KDE is great for new Linux users and very nice for a community edition. As far as color goes I think that the green is butt ugly and I'm glad it's blue but that's just me. :biggrin: Anyway this was a nice review and LinuxMint 8 KDE CE is a distro worthy of installing. Anybody who hasn't tried it should.

All mint distros are based on Ubuntu?
Mint KDE is a community distro not an official mint distro I personally think they did a very good job. I must agree that green does look nicer but hey it only take a minute to change no big deal. It boots fast and is very snappy to use I think mint KDE is like many others led down by KDE. Examples amorok flagship audio player crashes constantly playing a CD, system search uses to many resources. KSCD is a JOKE and many more.
These are not Mint or any other distros problems they are KDE.
As much as I love Linux Mint, the KDE version is based on Kubuntu, which is a red headed stepchild in the Ubuntu family. It gets nowhere near the attention or polish Ubuntu gets. Second, what I love about Linux Mint is how they changed and enhanced the Gnome experience and their wonderful theme and artwork. It's the standard all other distros should be held to. However, with the KDE version, it's pretty much the usual KDE fair. I also don't like them moving away from the green theme. Mint=green and not blue. It's silly.
Honestly, they should start with Ubuntu and tack on KDE with the standard Mint dark + green theme/look. Every Debian distro user wants to use Synaptic, anyway… Who cares if they mix GTK+/Gnome and Qt/KDE as long as the look and feel is made to be consistent throughout.
I love KDE, and am not really a Gnome user at all. However, Linux Mint makes Gnome so nice and KDE so ho-hum, I'd rather be using the Gnome version. It's too bad Linux Mint doesn't have the resources to venture off on their own. They do so well with what they have, I can only imagine what they could do with more resources, digging much further into the distro.

Okay, the opening race of the series Im doing was last weekend, Sunday. It was a time trial format at Yankee Springs in Western MI and was run really well. The format was a rider leaves every 15 seconds and divided by categories (mens/womans in Elite, Expert, Sport, and Beginner) but not by classifications (age groups). This meant the person in front or behind you could be in a different competitive group than you and you didnt/wouldnt know.
With such a diverse group around you, it was common to be passed and to pass. There were only a couple of times where I noticed a rider holding up 2-4 others and it was usually cleared by the time I got there.
Its interesting when you are racing a trail youve never ridden before. The rumors and helpful hints fly. There was much discussion about a certain hill that had a rubber mat running up it. It was supposed to be the hardest hill out there and around mile 8. Since I didnt have my computer, Id have to guess at the mileage and when it was coming up.
Well, that hint didnt actually help. It seems that more than a couple of the hills had this rubber matting. I thought I had hit it and thought boy, that wasnt bad. Unfortunately, that wasnt the hill so real one took me completely by surprise and had to walk it.
The only scary part of the race was a wicked pedal strike I had. It was a beautiful little section where there was a fast down hill leading to an on-camber up hill turn to the right. It really flowed well and was a lot of fun until I hit the bottom of the hill. The suspension compressed, my pedal hit a rock which threw the back of my bike to the right and took me a while to straighten it out while lost all sorts of momentum. Fortunately, it was early in the race so I was fresh and could control it. Unfortunately, there was a rider behind me and I felt like a schmuck for breaking his momentum too. Oh well, it happens I suppose.
Well, for the first race of the season, and considering I only had about two real weeks of training in, I didnt do too bad. I came in fifth in my class. Now I need to get some real training in and prepare for the next race. Maybe I can come in fourth!!

Councilwoman Marian B. Tasco is retiring Friday, but only so she can collect a $478,057 pension check and return to work Monday, when she will be sworn in for her seventh term.
Tasco was one of six Council members to enroll in the city's controversial Deferred Retirement Option Plan, better known as DROP. She did not immediately return a request for comment.
Plan participants trade a lower lifetime pension for a large one-time lump sum payment, but they are supposed to retire when they get that check.
Several elected officials, however, exercised a right approved by two city solicitors to run for election, retire for a day, collect their DROP payments, and return to work.

And…it's on! Today marked the first day of the Imagine Cup Worldwide Finals competition in N.Y.C. Teams from all over the world, including four of the U.A. teams, (note: Team LifeLens is presenting tomorrow) pitched judges in their representative project categories this afternoon, for their chance to get to the next level. We had the pleasure of sitting in on the presentations today, and wanted to be the first to give you the low down. Congratulations to all teams for making it this far in the process, and we'll report back after the elimination round later tonight.
ICsquared, from Ithaca College, presented today to an esteemed panel of judges. Team members Ashley Alicea, Evan Marinaro, Corey Jeffers, and Marc Howard begun their pitch today, explaining "This battle is taking place every single day…in millions of women." A powerful start for this team who created a fun and unique game that promotes maternal and child health. More than 500,000 women and 1 million children die each year from diseases ad ailments that take place in the embryonic stage.
Some of the game aspects—which they demoed in front of the judges this afternoon—including a demonstration of how to locate and remove (in the game) items such as alcohol, caffeine, or nicotine—virtually bring home the very real impact of poor health and lifestyle choices when a woman in pregnant. The medical resources section of their game has potential other applications as well, such as a resource for government agencies or school/university education.
The judges, which included Patricio Jutard the founder of Three Melons, a video game development company acquired by Playdom and later by The Walt Disney Company creator of the social game Bola, and Marina Pospergelis, a Computer Graphic Interface Developer from Russia at InfoWatch.

Syntax Errors
Syntax Errors, a team from Santiago Canyon College, also presented today in front of a great group of judges. Their project, F.R.E.D. is a market-ready, fully functional disaster response system that helps emergency responders find medicine, food, water, and other emergency aid services. F.R.E.D., which stands for First Responders Embedded Device, is a self-contained mobile workstation based on an embedded RTOS platform that can track assets in real-time.
The team members - Gary Kelley, Dale Laizure, Hayden Donze, and Bill Vetter are mentored by Dr. Ronald P. Kessler, PhD. They stood up to present today, and each took turns explaining the various properties of F.R.E.D. that they worked on.
F.R.E.D. is a tool that can help with disasters such as the recent Tsunamis in Japan, the earthquake in Haiti, and any future disaster that might occur. The team pointed out that it is within the first few days after a disaster that access to supplies, and the need for a tool such as F.R.E.D. is the most critical. Getting help to victims of a disaster as fast as possible helps keep people alive.
F.R.E.D. is battery-powered asset with GPS capability providing the user's exact location and it tracks assets such as food and medical supplies every 5 seconds.
The judges, who included Sam Phung, the VP of sales and marketing for ICOP Technology, and Erwin Zwart , an embedded technology expert from the Netherlands were impressed with the real-word capabilities, the competitive differentiation matrix, and with the end-to-end solution, which included low-cost and off-the-shelf components.
Azmo the Dragon
Team members Veronica Burkel, Pierre Elias, Eric lee, Chase Sandmann, presented today to judges that included Tracy Fullerton, the Director, USC Game Innovation Lab, an experimental design group and think tank known for games such as Cloud, flOw, Darfur is Dying and The Night Journey, and Frank J. Lee the Associate Teaching Professor, Co-Director, Drexel Game Design Program and RePlay Game Lab, Drexel University.
Team Dragon has created a game called Azmo the Dragon, where technology helps solve the world's toughest problems. Pediatric asthma is a serious global problem that 8 out of 10 children suffer from. It has enormous financial costs as well as self-esteem and lifestyle costs for those that suffer from it.
The 2D role playing game combines emerging technology and is on the Windows phone. It's main goal is to destroy villages—the more fire your breath has (measured by the game spirometer), the more fire you have to destroy the villages. As your lungs get stronger, you have more fire. The game records the readings and sends to a doctor or alerts the user if lung function is failing. The game includes a diagnostic strategy – to CAR: calibrate, assess, and review. The game goals to use twice a day and includes an 8-hour a cool down and limits playing time as a way to keep children healthy.
The team demonstrated their game and showed the Peak Flow meter used daily monitors the changes in your lungs day to day, when you have the strongest lung volume, and the entire loop of lung function. Daily measurement is critical for users since sufferers can see the decrease in lung function before they have an asthma attack. The game also includes homework assignments such as understanding your peak flow meter, and because the game is enjoyable and provides data to doctors (for research, too), it has practical application for improving health and quality of life. The team would like to do a clinical study with funding from the national asthma association and others.
The judges' questions included asking why the team wanted to use mobile, and the team responded that children are on smartphones, and this way they could play while away from home. In the long run the team would love to make their game part of the phone. Great questions and another interesting presentation.

Imagine not being able to see the board in a classroom, or on a whiteboard in your office. Sadly that is the case for millions of people with impaired vision. Team Note-Taker team members David Hayden, Michael Asterisks, Qian Yan, and Shashank Srinivas pitched the judges today on their technology, which allows visually impaired students to take notes. To start their presentation they explained the market need, how existing technologies were very limited.
The team, from Arizona State University (ASU), had a personal reason for starting the company. David Hayden, a straight A student who is also legally blind, added a math major in college, and discovered that the notes in class would fill a dozen boards. He was not able to follow class—and had to withdraw from the class. He came up with an ideal solution that take a tablet PC that takes touch and pen inputs; attaches a camera that zooms on the board (pan and tilt); and uses custom software to support handwritten and typed notes, with camera manipulation. Methods today do not allow students to manipulate the camera, or are not portable. By using a solution such as the Note-Taker, students who are vision impaired can reduce the time and struggle in keeping up with their sighted peers in classes.
The technologies used include C++, Windows 7 SDK, Win32, C sharp, .NET framework, and the manufactured design helps lower cost (injection mold, consolidate electronics to one board).
The target audience is people with low-vision and the blind—people who right now might forego higher education due to simply not being able to see in the classroom. Other markets would include vocational rehabilitation agencies.
The team is looking at simplified models for developing markets, and wants to help mainstream low-vision students—so they can help make a huge global impact.
Team Note-Taker's assistive technology for vision-impaired students would require VC funding, and the team discussed this with the judges, during the Q&A, as well as pricing, assumptions on how students would use it, and additional modifications.

I think you're the same guy that I already advised that it's not likely anything to do with lifters. It just doesn't happen that way.
Yea, and the other guy answered one of my questions and he said lifters sticking after replacing the intake manifold gasket is common on this engine. I don't think its the lifters either but no one can give me some decent advice as to what I should do next since all I have to go off of is a fluctuating vacuum valve train noise and a hesitation/lack off power everything else checked out good.

I feared that Islamists were gaining a foothold in the Middle-East and that the Arab Spring was turning into a bleak winter, at least for Arab Christians; but if "Revolt of the Spooks" is correct, then the Middle East may becoming completely unglued right before our eyes.
Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)

Published in Middle East
Keywords: President Obama, Darrell Issa, Jason Chaffetz, Cover up, Benghazi, Libya, Video, Congressional hearings, Michael Terheyden
KNOXVILLE, TN (Catholic Online) - According to Bill Gertz, what is happening in the Middle East is more ominous than anything I had feared up till now. I had feared that Islamists were gaining a foothold in the Middle East since President Obama took office and that the Arab Spring was turning into a bleak winter, at least for Arab Christians; but if the information in his article, "Revolt of the Spooks," is correct, then the Middle East may becoming completely unglued right before our eyes.
Bill Gertz is no novice. He is the author of several books and a veteran reporter. He has also lectured at various universities, the Defense Department, the FBI, and the CIA. His specialty includes intelligence, national security, defense, and government secrets. In 2004, Gertz reported that Syria, possibly with Russian assistance, transferred Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein's weapons of mass destruction to Syria, a question which still remains open for some people.
Now, Gertz is reporting that officers at U.S. intelligence agencies believe important intelligence concerning terrorism is being covered up in what they describe as "a Middle East policy failure by Obama." The cover up includes "numerous classified reports" detailing Iranian support of terrorism in the region, the penetration of al Qaeda into Egypt and Libya in recent months, and that the attack on the American embassy in Benghazi in September was part of a "string of terror attacks and not a spontaneous uprising against an anti-Muslim video produced in the U.S."
Gertz writes, "Officials said that the administration appeared to engage in a disinformation campaign aimed at distancing the president personally during the peak of the presidential election campaign from the disaster in Benghazi, where numerous warning[s] of an attack were ignored, resulting in the deaths of U.S. Ambassador to Libya Christopher Stevens and three other officials."
According to these intelligence officers, Susan Rice, the ambassador to the United Nations, and White House Press Secretary, Jay Carney, were given false information by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence ". . . in order to promote the excuse that the obscure video was the cause of the attack, and not the Islamic concept of jihad."
You might recall that the Obama administration injected neutral language into our official defense strategy. For instance, the "Quadrennial Homeland Security Review" and the "Quadrennial Defense Review," both congressionally mandated documents, apparently no longer use the words "Islam," "Islamic" or "Islamist." And Janet Napolitano, the Secretary of Homeland Security, prefers to use the term "man-caused disasters" instead of terrorism.
During his nomination acceptance speech at the Democratic National Convention, President Obama said that "al Qaeda is on the path to defeat." But the intelligence officers say, "The Obama Administration is afraid to admit al Qaeda is running rampant throughout the region because it would expose the truth instead of what President Obama so pompously spouted during the Democratic Convention."
To make matters worse, Gertz writes, "The administration, in particular, wants to keep hidden solid intelligence showing that the terrorist group behind the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks that killed nearly 3,000 Americans is now flourishing under the Muslim Brotherhood regime of Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi."
According to Gertz, President Mursi released Muhammad al-Zawahiri, the brother of the present head of al Qaeda, from jail even though he had been sentenced to death under President Mubarak for terrorism in Egypt. Gertz also says intelligence reports indicate that the prestigious Al-Azhar University in Cairo ". . . is emerging as a covert base for al Qaeda organizational and training activities for a jihadi network consisting of many nationalities."
Gertz also informs us that al Qaeda terrorists based in Egypt were recently dispatched to Libya and Syria in order to infiltrate Libyan militia groups and Syrian opposition forces opposing the Bashar al Assad regime. In addition, Gertz says Egypt and Iran are working together to support terrorism throughout the region. He writes, "operatives from Iran's Ministry of Intelligence and Security, the main spy service, and from Iran's Quds Force paramilitary group and the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps are also facilitating al Qaeda terrorists based in Egypt."
None of this should surprise us. The Muslim Brotherhood has been a radical organization since its inception. It was founded by Hasan al-Banna in1928 as an Islamist religious, political, and social movement. In his book, Faith, Reason, and the War against Jihadism, George Weigel writes that al-Banna believed "After cleansing the House of Islam, true Muslims would cleanse their territories of infidels and unbelievers. . . ." For al-Banna, "Islam was 'both a religion and a state,' such that the Qur'an and the sword were 'inseparable.'"
Al-Banna's vision did not change through the years. During the Second World War, the Muslim Brotherhood sided with the Nazis, and they supported terrorist activities in Palestine. They also assimilated the Nazi's views against the Jews and Western societies into their reform movement. The Muslim Brotherhood were also implicated in a failed plot to assassinate Gamal Abdel Nasser, Egypt's leader in 1965, and in the successful assassination of Nasser's successor, Anwar Sadat, in 1980.
Consequently, it appears that President Obama's support of the Muslim Brotherhood and his intervention in Egypt and in Libya reflect poor judgment. Peace in the region seems a distant memory. Hope for an Arab Spring looks more like a child's fantasy at each passing day. Israel, our best ally in the Middle East and the only real democracy in the region, has not been threatened to this extent since Egypt and Syria crossed the cease-fire lines in the Sinai and Golan Heights and attacked Israel during Yom Kippur in 1973. And America has been forced to close her embassies in some Muslim nations.
Congressional hearings are scheduled for Wednesday, October 10 to investigate the factors which led up to the attack on our embassies in Egypt and Libya and to determine if there is a cover up. If Gertz is correct, the President of the United States is lying, and he must be held accountable; for people have died as a result of all the turmoil over the video, and many of us could suffer a similar fate in the near future if al Qaeda is not stopped before they attack us again.
For Catholic Americans, this is about more than a cover up and the Middle East becoming unglued. The safety of Arab Christians has also been placed in jeopardy as a result of President Obama's actions. Thus, it is also a time for us to pray for the safety of our Christian brethren living in the Middle East (and throughout the Muslim world) and for peace in the entire region, for all things are possible with God.
Michael Terheyden was born into a Catholic family, but that is not why he is a Catholic. He is a Catholic because he believes that truth is real, that it is beautiful and good, and that the fullness of truth is in the Catholic Church. However, he knows that God's grace operating throughout his life is the main reason he is a Catholic. He is greatly blessed to share his faith and his life with his beautiful wife, Dorothy. They have four grown children and three grandchildren.
