|Second opinion in thyroid fine-needle aspiration biopsy by the Bethesda System.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 22156326 Owner: NLM Status: Publisher
|The present study was designed to determine the impact of secondary review of thyroid fine-needle aspiration (FNA) biopsy on surgical management. A retrospective review of patients referred to our institution with a thyroid FNA biopsy was conducted. Cytologic diagnoses from the report at our center and the referring institution were re-categorized by the Bethesda System for Reporting Thyroid Cytopathology. The rate of diagnostic disagreement was evaluated between Primary Diagnosis (PD) and Second Opinion Diagnosis (SOD), and the clinicopathologic correlations and the number of cases that prompted changes in treatment as a result of diagnostic disagreement were analyzed. 1499 patients meeting our study criteria were enrolled in this study. Diagnostic disagreement comprised 394 cases (26.3%). In the case of diagnostic disagreement, SOD was supported on clinicopathologic follow-up in 271 cases (68.8%), of which a change in management was made in 54 (13.7%) cases, and PD was supported in 93 (23.6%) cases, of which a change in management was made in 13 (3.3%) cases. By the second opinion, 65 (4.5%) patients received proper management, and 14 (1.0%) patients received superfluous management. Wide use of secondary cytopathologic review of thyroid FNA specimens from referring institutions was recommended.

Aerostar 702: Still The Fastest
Forty years after its introduction, the Aerostar remains the world's fastest, general aviation piston airplane—period
"The STC for the higher gross weight demanded quite a bit of beef-up to handle the 6,500-pound landing weight," says Christy. "We had to prove the airplane could withstand a 3-G jolt on landing, and that required a stronger main and nosegear structure, plus thicker wing-skin doublers and larger wheels and brakes with higher-ply tires. It was a major revision, but it produced the best payload of any six-seat airplane on the market."
Ted Smith did things his own way, and that's apparent in the Aerostar's design and systems. Aerostars aren't cabin-class airplanes in the classic sense. You might say they're reverse cabin class: Everyone climbs aboard from the front and moves aft rather than vice versa.
The double-clamshell door is directly abeam the pilot station, and the bottom clamshell serves as the single step for entry. The 702 sits low, so two steps and you're in. An advantage of this system is that the pilot is the only one who can latch the door, so if it's not shut properly, the captain has only himself to blame.
Once you're closed inside, the cabin is a comfortable place in which to travel. Pressurization differential is 5.5 psi, providing an 8,000-foot cabin altitude at 25,000 feet. The windows are larger than in almost any other pressurized airplane, making the interior seem even roomier. The nearly 46-inch width translates all the way from the front to the rear seats.
Technically, the Aerostar is legal for seven people in a two/two/three configuration, but the vast majority of the type wind up configured for five, limiting the rear seat to two and removing the second-row left. With the second-row right seat modified to swivel, this opens up access to the fold-out executive table and the rear bench seat. It also eliminates the need to negotiate an aisle.
It's ironic that Ted Smith was widely criticized for designing the Aerostar with nearly all-electric systems. Today, more and more general aviation airplanes employ pure electric systems, dispensing with pneumatic and hydraulic operation whenever possible.
On the Aerostar, even the fuel selectors are electric. The selectors are three position—off, on and cross-feed—and you can hear the gentle, characteristic "woo" of the valve when you position the switch. If you simply select "on" prior to start and leave the selector alone, the system is fairly trouble free. Each engine will feed from its respective wing tank and the fuselage tank.

EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. Chris Cook was more than frustrated when he left the field on Oct. 25 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers after suffering an arm injury that he thought might wipe out another season. Cook, two seasons since being the Minnesota Vikings' top pick in the 2010 draft, had already been through plenty, his first two seasons cut short by first injuries and then a legal issue. He wasn't prepared to have another season ended prematurely. "I was very emotional when it happened, yelling and screaming, cursing," Cook said Wednesday, sitting at his locker with his right forearm free of any cast or brace. "After the surgery and after coming back in here the next couple of days and being around my teammates, it helped me feel better about the situation and knowing that I could come back by the end of the year with this injury it definitely helps a lot." Cook, who has been out of his cast for about two weeks after breaking the radius bone in his right forearm -- one of the two l...

Chinese carriers COSCO and China Shipping told the Federal Maritime Commission they are in the beginning stages of a merger, while Bloomberg reported CMA CGM has entered into talks to buy APL parent Neptune Orient Lines.
With a lack of preference cargo, carriers that move international cargo are exiting the U.S. flag; fleet has shrunk from 106 to 78 in past four years.
Free-trade supporters and opponents alike have eagerly waited for the Trans-Pacific Partnership document, which includes detailed charts showing negotiated reductions in tariff rates by commodity and when they go into effect, to be made publicly available.
Industry groups said they are willing to work with the port to speed cargo through POLB, but expressed concern about how the plan might affect shippers, who want to pick up containers faster but say getting chassis and trucking capacity can be difficult.
U.S. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack said at the conclusion of the JCCT meeting Monday that China indicated it will review 11 biotechnology applications and continue the dialogue on U.S. beef.
Port of Miami Terminal Operating Company, the only non-carrier affiliated terminal, saw its volumes double to 22,225 TEUs, the largest percentage gain among the three container terminals at the South Florida port.

Actress Kristen Bell has taken legal action against owners of a Hollywood bar after allegedly failing to receive a share of the profits.
VIDEO: Best TMI tweets
Bell, who is expecting her first child with fiance Dax Shepard, is among a group suing the owners of L'Scorpion, a restaurant and bar. Bell and four other plaintiffs filed their lawsuit against Meridian Restaurant Group on Friday, suing for breach of contract and breach of fiduciary duty.

In court documents, obtained by E! News, Bell and her co-plaintiffs claim they each invested $20,000 in the business in 2005 and were supposed to receive 5 percent the profits in return. However, they say they have not received their fair share from L'Scorpion, which has allegedly generated as much as $30,000 in monthly profits since 2006.

As of Friday, October 4, 2013
© Copyright 2015 Clayton News Daily
Football season goes by fast, doesn't it?
We build up a season from winter conditioning in late December to spring ball just before school lets out, all the way through a summer of 7-on-7 drills and passing league tournaments, until opening night.
And just like that, it's October. And next month is November. The playoffs come and go, and when the lights dim down in the Georgia Dome in December, we start the cycle all over again.
The brevity of it all, juxtaposed to the build up seems to tease and tantalize our senses, and leave us begging for more when it's all said and done.
But thank God we can hold off on the begging for now, because things are just now starting to get juicy on the football field.
The practice laps have been run, and now these Southern Crescent football machines are ready to kick into high gear and start fighting for pole position in the race for region bragging rights.
Teams that are 4-0 must be wary of overconfidence. Teams that are 2-2, 1-3 or even 0-4 must avoid panic mode.
Remember Mundy's Mill from last year? Started out 0-4, ran the table. Came within one game of a playoff berth. High school football doesn't follow the commands and dictates of the Bowl Championship Series of the college game (thank goodness). You don't have to be perfect to be crowned champion.
Just get hot at the right time.
On with the predictions:
Amazing how similar records can give off different vibes. Both No. 9 Stockbridge and Eagle's Landing are 4-1. But the Golden Eagles are on a three game winning streak, and Stockbridge is smarting after a 35-14 loss to third-ranked Griffin last week.
But this is the first subregion game for each team, and neither Stockbridge's Griffin loss, nor Eagle's Landing's week two defeat at the hands of Lee County mean much in the grand scheme of things. Coach Kevin Whitley called Eagle's Landing's offense a duplicate of the Griffin attack that torched them last week, and he may be right.
Look for Stockbridge to be better prepared this week. Also, the Eagles are better defensively, but that because they play their best playmakers on both sides of the ball. If Stockbridge can get its power run game going, Eagle's Landing could tire out, which will affect its play on offense.
I think this one is a close one, but maybe — just maybe — this is the year of the Eagle. I'm picking the upset: Eagle's Landing 27, Stockbridge 20. First 5-1 record for Eagle's Landing, ever.
The Southern Crescent tour for Griffin continues, as the Bears — already winners against Jonesboro, Woodland and Stockbridge, now host Riverdale. This game looked great on paper just a few weeks ago. And on the Griffin side, it still does. The Bears have a defense now to match their potent offense.
And Riverdale has to find an answer for senior quarterback Greg Taylor who is out for the season with a torn ACL. Uh oh. Even with Taylor, the Raiders haven't been sharp in back-to-back losses to Dutchtown and Eagle's Landing. I wish I felt differently, but this one could get ugly. Griffin 41, Riverdale 17.
Can Kevin Jones and Dutchtown make it three straight? If Locust Grove is forced into a shootout with the Bulldogs, they will. Dutchtown is scoring at a 40 points per game clip. The Wildcats? Not so much. Safety/wide receiver Cortez McDowell is a force, but now that Devin Randolph has emerged as a major defensive playmaker for the Bulldogs, they've become a different team. Dutchtown 35, Locust Grove 14.
As for No. 5 Lovejoy, it looks like it's Rockdale County's turn to be the latest team with aspirations of knocking off the Wildcats. Lovejoy has had some close calls this year, and Rockdale is 4-1 and much improved, having already eclipsed its 2012 win total. No matter. Lovejoy takes care of business, 38-14, and is well on the way to a fourth straight region crown.
College and pro picks: Tennessee, home of former Jonesboro cornerback Cameron Sutton, and future home of several Southern Crescent commitments, will keep things close with Georgia before succumbing. Miami will be all over Georgia Tech, and if the Falcons don't beat the Jets on Monday night, well, let's just say they do.
Happy football weekend.

Recasting Voyager with actors from today

Hello all, I'm new to this forum, I'm not sure if this has been done on here before but I thought it would be fun to do a dream team recasting of Voyager characters with some notable actors of today.
Captain Janeway - Annette Bening - I think she would make a great Janeway, great actress with a great tone in her voice and could play an authority figure very well.
second choice - I know this would be a little off the wall but Jane Lynch would be my second choice, I know she is a comedienne but she just commands attention with the way she talks.
Chakotay - Adam Beach, here's a novel idea, how about hiring a real native american to play a native american character, Adam Beach is a solid actor from movies such as Flags of our Father and Windtalkers, I'm sure he could resonate with the Chakotay character.
Tom Paris - Ryan Reynolds - Paris is sly and smug, 2 characteristics Reynolds pulls off very well.
B'ellana Torres - Natalie Portman, Natty has a half klingon yes please plus she has the acting chops for sure.
Harry Kim - Daniel Dae Kim, Lost and Hawaii 5-0 veteran Daniel Dae Kim would be the perfect Harry Kim, he might be a little to old for the part but he's 10 times the actor Wang was and Harry Kim would probably have been a lot better.
Seven of Nine - Scarlett Johansson, throw Scarlett in Seven of Nine's body suits and watch ratings blow up.
Tuvok - Don Cheadle - great actor
Neelix - Zach Galifianakis, maybe Neelix would of been the breakout character then.
Kes - meh I dunno
The Doctor - I would say the Doctor should stay as Picardo due to his brilliance but due to his age now it would be difficult, I would cast Jim Parsons from the Big Bang Theory, would make a perfect new doctor.
well tell me what you guys think
Those are all pretty expensive A Listers. Doesn't mean they would really fit the parts, or have the right chemistry together. Benning as Janeway and Beach as Chakotay I can see.
A movie aiming low should not be praised for hitting that target.

By Jennie Morton
The living wall at the Vancouver Aquarium combines the principles of ecology with the benefits of stormwater management. This green envelope has been sprouting for five years.
Have you ever thought about taking landscaping principles and applying them to your facade?
Green walls use modular tiles or cabling to support plant life on your envelope, providing thermal, ecological, and aesthetic benefits. Growing plants vertically may sound difficult, but you don't need a green thumb to construct a living facade.
Get the Formula Right
Green walls offer two variations – green facades and living walls.
"Green facades provide a mechanism for climbing plants that is independent of the wall, such as cable, trellis, or grid-based systems," explains Steven Peck, founder and president of Green Roofs for Healthy Cities.
Living walls incorporate vegetation into your existing architecture. Modular units that contain growing medium (soil) or hydroponics are integrated into the envelope.
Green walls are suited to a variety of facades, but structural load capacity and irrigation needs must be met.
Living walls can provide:
"Installation depends on where you are going to put it, to what degree a wall needs to be prepared, and what kind of mechanics are already in place," explains Doug Hamming, a principal for Stantec Architecture, which worked on a green wall at the Vancouver Aquarium.
Your region's weather and building orientation will also shape a green wall project, says Peck. Green facades fare better in cool climates, while living walls need consistent temperatures.
Grow Success
Plant selection is of utmost importance. Regional species are best because they are suited to your location. "You're putting these plants into an artificial climate with a thin soil system – they need to be able to handle that," advises Hamming.
You should also pick a variety of plants that will thrive throughout seasonal changes. Grasses, climbing vines, flowers, and food-bearing plants can all be used, depending on the scale of the project and your climate.
Select the wrong plants and they either won't survive or will inflict unintended consequences. Ivy, for example, finds its way into cracks and can push bricks out of your facade. "Non-invasive species are a must," says Hamming. "Invasive species are destructive for the local ecosystem and choke out important regional plants."
All green walls need an irrigation system. Living architecture is water- and maintenance-intensive, but so is any landscaping. Because of gravity, moisture drains quickly and plants can easily perish if neglected. Plan on basic trimming and pruning as well.
Vegetation in Vancouver
Along the exterior of the Vancouver Aquarium, you can view a green wall in practice. Growing since 2006, the living wall occupies a 500-square-foot section of the envelope. "We applied modular panels backed with a galvanized steel system directly to the wall," says Hamming.
The green envelope was inspired by the aquarium's educational mission and LEED certification. "The aquarium sits in one of the largest urban parks in North America," Hamming explains. "For a recent revitalization, we had to increase the property's footprint into the park. The green wall was a strategy to balance the expansion and respect the existing site."
The project cost $100 per square foot to install and houses eight plant species. The aquarium also took advantage of its reclaimed water system and slashed expenses by redirecting rainwater to the wall.
The living wall has been deemed a success with few complications. The public responds positively to the space and respects the foliage. The greatest challenge has been ensuring that complete maintenance knowledge is passed on to new hires.
Take Your Chances
While enthusiasm peppers conversations about living architecture, understand that formal standards and long-term studies have yet to be developed. "Living walls and green facades must be carefully planned and maintained," advises Peck. "They are not a plug-and-play technology."
As a thoughtful strategy, however, green walls create a compelling architectural feature, boost your mechanical systems, and contribute to environmental responsibility.

Like ordinary folks, presidents of the United States are known by the company they keep. It is a test of their character. Often it shapes their policies. In the case of Barack Obama, it may blight his legacy and our nation's security interests. Until now, among the most egregious examples of the problem were the "friends of Bill" who played prominent roles in William Jefferson Clinton's presidency. Those folks included a mix of unsavory political operatives, Chinese agents and convicted felons. Their overnight stays in the Lincoln bedroom, legally challenged fundraising and 11th-hour pardons raised serious questions not just about President Clinton's ethics, but about his judgment.
President Obama's trusted circle has been, if anything, even more problematic. For example, Mr. Obama has consorted with people who are revolutionaries, communists, liberation theologians and Islamists. Some even have been appointed czars in his administration.
At the moment, though, we must be concerned not only with whom Mr. Obama considers his friends, but with those who deem him to be one of theirs: The record suggests he must be seen as a "friend of Shariah."
How else can we explain the seeming inconsistency between, on the one hand, the president's indifference to demonstrations in Iran last year that were vastly larger and more sustained than those to date in Egypt and, on the other hand, his insistence after a week's worth of protests in the latter that there be nothing less than complete "regime change," starting immediately?
The only obvious common denominator is that in both cases, Mr. Obama is pursuing policies favored by those who adhere to the repressive, supremacist and virulently anti-American Islamic political-military-legal program its adherents call Shariah. In Iran, Shariah already is the law of the land, ruthlessly enforced by the Shiite theocrats of Tehran. In Egypt, the Mubarak regime's failure to enforce Shariah faithfully is one of the principal impetuses behind the Iranian mullahs' Sunni wannabe counterparts in the Muslim Brotherhood.
Alas, Mr. Obama's seeming affinity for Shariah has not been confined to his ever-more-evident support for the Brotherhood taking power in a nation the United States has long seen (rightly or wrongly) as an indispensable and reliable regional ally. For instance:

The showdown: 2014 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 vs. Nissan GT-R for all the marbles
A video or other embedded content has been hidden. Click here to view it.Imagine, if you will, an email containing a first drive invitation for Chevrolet's all-new Camaro Z/28. As you continue to thumb through, you notice a challenge of sorts – feel free to bring any competitor of your choice for a comparison. 2014 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 vs. 2014 Nissan GT-R Track Edition
Time to pick up the phone. Within 30 minutes a 2014 Nissan GT-R Track Edition is secured. Our Z/28 first drive was to be a showdown between American muscle and Japanese finesse. The venue for our battle: the Barber Motorsport Park in Birmingham, Ala. — a track with curves as unpredictable as Sandy Koufax, and more crests than Ben Nevis.
I'd ridden in the passenger seat of a Z/28 test mule last year, and the grip level was astounding. The power from the 505-hp, 7.0-liter LS7 V-8 motor was punchy, and yet civilized. The issue back then was the carbon-ceramic brakes: "It doesn't stop how I'd like it," the Chevrolet engineer, who was in the driver's seat, told me.
Fast-forward a month and it was determined that the Pirelli Trofeo R tires were slipping on the rim. Just 10-degrees, they thought — until they realized that 10 was more like 370. After blasting some abrasive grit to the surface of the rim, the problem was solved.
And so here I was. The finished product sat in an open garage at Barber, flurries of mechanics warming her up. I was summoned to the mandatory — keep the shiny side up, don't bruise our baby — safety briefing.
2014 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 vs. 2014 Nissan GT-R Track Edition
Ironically, Steve was the name given to the Z/28 back when the idea to revive the iconic moniker was envisaged. Only key individuals within the GM Empire knew Steve was not the engineers' coffee boy, but actually the most capable Camaro ever.
It's also the most expensive. But, at $75,000, listen to what arrives as standard: Carbon-ceramic Brembo brakes, dampers by Multimatic — the same company that supplies the Red Bull F1 team and the first production application outside of the exclusive Aston Martin One77 — and the aforementioned tires.
Those tires. Originally built for an amateur Porsche racing series in Europe, they're practically slicks. With less tread than Mini Me, in the dry, they're stunning. However, when it rains, as it did in the closing moments of the car's timed Nurburgring run — where it still lapped faster than a Lexus LFA — spare underwear becomes a necessary option. Quick hands, too.
Back to the price. Here's what you don't get: Air conditioning (that's an option – one you should definitely take, despite the roughly 30 lbs. weight penalty), a stereo, a navigation, or sound deadening.
The Z/28, then, is a race car. Only one with a usable trunk, backseats (left because they're part of the car's structure, and the weight saved by removing them and adding the necessary rigidity would make any gains negligible), and a license plate.
Why a $116,000 GT-R? Surely a Ford Mustang Boss 302 Laguna Seca is more comparable? Chevrolet has tested the two at its Milford Proving Grounds and claims (and has evidence to back it up) that the Z/28 is more than five seconds faster. Having driven both, I don't doubt that. And the Shelby GT500? Well, that's slower than the Boss.

As a community activist, Alonzo Washington is justifiably praised for helping bring killers to justice. He also has earned criticism for being a vain self-promoter who insults other activists and bloggers — he says they are beneath him.
Could the origin of Washington's real-life crime fighting, as well as his unyielding hostility, be rooted in some horrific trauma? Like, say, the death of his greatest creation, Omega Man? The comic-book hero who was, according to the cover, "Too Black — Too Strong" for evildoers hasn't been heard from in a long time. When Washington posts online pictures of himself dressed as the character, is it because he thinks he looks good in spandex and a Bluetooth, or is it a tribute to a fallen legend? We called the metro's comic-book stores to check on the status of KC's greatest — its only — superhero.
Clint's Comic Books
3943 Main
The Pitch: Hi, I was calling to see if you carried Omega Man comics.
Clerk: Who? You mean the one that the local guy does? You mean that guy, Larry?Alonzo.
Oh, Alonzo Washington? Oh, yeah, I know who he is. So do you have any copies?
We've got that. Maybe one or two issues. I haven't seen one in a while.
Comic Cavern5404 Northwest 64th Street
Do you guys carry Omega Man comics?
I'm had them in the past, but not for a while.
Oh, are they not making them anymore?
I don't know what's going on with it. They're not really big sellers. There's an audience for it, but we don't order a huge number.
That's sad, because kids need positive role models.
I don't honestly remember the last time I saw one come through — a new issue.
Lawless Comics
3117 Troost
Do we have what?
Omega Man. He's a very powerful, "too black" superhero.
I think we have one Omega Man comic. Hold on — [off-phone shouting] — Do we have Omega Man? The thing in the back? [Returns.] Yeah, we have an Omega Man toy if you're interested. It's autographed. He'll sell it for $25. [Holds phone away again.] This is Omega Man, right?
Wow, I can't believe you're willing to sell one signed by Alonzo himself.
The local guy? [Yells away from phone again.] What's that guy's name again? Oh, gosh, what the hell is that guy's name? Alonzo Washington? [Returns.] Yeah, it's signed by Alonzo.
Isn't he still doing comics?
He used to be hot. I'm not so sure nowadays. Nobody's been asking for Omega Man.
I thought he was really popular.
One Million Comix
5336 West 95th Street, Prairie Village
I don't even know the company you order that from.
I got into it because of the character's amazing superpowers. He can fly.
Yeah, he's apparently not a big character. I guess I can order it for you.
That would be awesome. You know he's local, right? Alonzo Washington?
I have no idea who makes it. I've never heard of the guy, never met him.
3940 Main
Hey, I'm looking for Omega Man.
I don't think I've seen one of those in a while.
What? How could you not have Omega Man? Are you serious?
No, none. It was never widely distributed.
But its creator is a celebrity.
Alonzo? No, I've never met him. Like I said, it was never really widely out there.
But he dresses like Omega Man. And he solves crimes. He's never come in just, you know, looking for clues?
No. This is not a good place to look for clues.
How could such a beloved character simply disappear from the cultural landscape? Does no one remember the Omegamania that gripped children everywhere? According to an April 10, 1998, Los Angeles Times story, Omega Man toys flew onto store shelves nationally at Toys R Us. The manufacturer, Precision Design Workshop of Hong Kong, molded versions of the figure in two skin tones (light and dark). On the back of each figure was a thin plastic strand, to represent the hair braid signifying African royalty.
Unfortunately, Washington's toy likeness never flew off the shelves. As Washington told The Washington Post in July 1998, Target, Wal-Mart and Kmart failed to get behind the figure; in the toy stores where it did appear, parents refused to buy the toy for their children. Why? Because those parents, Washington told the
Post, were racists. "It's almost like they'd rather their kids would be following a Satan-worshipping white rock star than a strong, moral, black image," he said.
Washington boasted at the time that sales of the figure at Toys R Us, which paid for Washington to appear at several in-store events, were strong, though he didn't offer numbers. Heroes have bigger tasks than bookkeeping, after all. "When white kids tell me, 'I want to be like Omega Man,' I know I've created a true hero," he told the Post.
These days, Omega Man's most notable superpower is invisibility. None of Washington's figures show up in searches on eBay or Google. The Pitch could find the toys only on Washington's own Web site, which also offers a bobblehead version with a lot less visible muscle tone.

You may also be interested in these hotels within five miles of Heraklion:
Topics include Transportation, Dining Scene, Greece: For Foreign Visitors & more!
Heraklion has an active cafe, bar and club scene. Sitting outside in a public area such as a large square and sipping an espresso can be a pleasurable way to spend an afternoon and a good way to mingle with locals and watch passers-by. A popular place to do this in Heraklion is around Eleftherias square, in the northeast quadrant of the city near the post office. Because of their popularity, though, the cafes can be crowded and frantic. Another option is to head to the harbor area, or find a quiet cafe hidden off a side street.

Enough bars can be found within the city walls to satisfy any kind of appetite. Live music including popular music as well as traditional Cretan music and dancing can be found at many bars. Nightclubs in Heraklion are focused in the area near the harbor. Themes vary from club to club and can include oldies, rock music, and tradition Grecian music.

1996 Honda Accord • 132,000 miles
I resently bought a 1996 accord, its registered out of state, and I'm in california, so I need to get a smog for it to be registered. I took it to a smog guy and be told me that it wont pass because it has 3 monitors that are not ready (I dont know the codes but he said its the EVAC, o2, and cat converter monitors). He also explaned that the previous owner most likley cleared a check engine light before it was sold to me. They said I need to drive around for a while and the monitors will clear. After 90 miles, there was no change in the monitors, still had 3 not ready. They also said the the EVAC sensor is independant, but the cat converter sensor wont reset unless the o2 clears and is working properly, like they are linked. The smog guy said I should get a new obd 2 sensor (upstream) and have him put it in, then drive around for a while again and see if some of the monitors reset and become ready for the smog. He said it should have reset by now so something is wrong. I also called a honda specialist and told him the situation, he said sometimes it takes weeks to reset the monitors depending on your driving habbits, he recommended that I keep driving it, not replace the sensor. And also, if the obd2 sensor isnt working properly, then the privious owner may not have reset a check engine light, right? Because if monitors wont clear, the check engine light wont come on in the first place, right? Any information on this subject would be greatly appreciated, I'm on a budget and this is turning into a headache, I got conflicting information from the 2 different guys I spoke to.

On a recent tour, I happened to cross paths with a large group of Xtracyclists who were also on tour. They were on their way from North San Juan to the Yucatan and southern Mexico.
They were not only self-contained, but were also carrying musical instruments and sound equipment, for giving concerts along the way.
There may be pictures of the group online, perhaps linked to their website. I'll check.
There was an interesting post in another thread yesterday,
[will post links shortly...]
Here they are:
The thread:
The post:
"...I'd rather tour on this than my touring bike...."
All this has me reconsidering the Xtracycle.
It seems like an interesting alternative, and I keep hearing good things about Xtracycles... including by those using them for long distance tours.
The stays are not just slightly longer, they are way longer. I've ridden them, and the effects are much more noticeable.

Sharapova targets top spotComment on this story
Milan – Maria Sharapova is looking to return to the No. 1 spot in the world rankings after returning to top form this year.
Sharapova has endured a difficult few years after undergoing shoulder surgery at the end of 2008, but has come back brilliantly and briefly reached No. 1 after winning the French Open to complete a Career Grand Slam.
On Friday she says, "Obviously the goal is always to shoot for top spot and that's always where you want to be and stay. It's one thing to reach the No. 1 ranking, another to keep it."
Sharapova is in Milan to play an exhibition tournament Saturday, with another former No. 1, Ana Ivanovic. They will face Italians Sara Errani, who Sharapova beat in the French Open final, and Roberta Vinci. – Sapa-AP

Citrus lovers, pull up a bar stool. Ginger beer creates a lively base for this orange-and-lemon-spiked gin drink.
Leave a Review
Added club soda, the bubbles were fun. The type of ginger beer really made a difference. We tried with "Fiery", which is really sweet, and true ginger beer that is really spicy and it changed a lot.
Slightly too sweet to be truly refreshing, but very tasty nonetheless. Next time I'll play around with it (maybe substitute lime juice for the oj?)...

Star Trek 3: Spock Says 'Screw It'
So, I imagine most people think that the reason Spock Prime has refused to give Starfleet future information is some sort of noble variant of the temporal Prime Directive. Nope. He's old, he's grown comfortable with his emotions, he's frustrated by his failures with reunification and with trying to save Romulus and with Nero and the destruction of nuVulcan. He's had enough.
So he has taken his 10,000 Vulcan refugees, and gathered everything he knows about - future Starfleet tech, the Doomsday Machine, Korby's android making device, Data's head, so on and so forth, shutting many of them down as the threats that some of them may have been in his home timeline in the process - and now, from his secret base in an undisclosed location, he is running a massive operation to put right what he thinks has gone wrong and just generally make himself happy. Starting with the conquest of Romulus by the Vulcan refugees.
The weakness in his plan? He invited young Spock and crew to join him in his endeavor. So they're trying to stop his plans from being carried out. But every time they do, and they do a few times, he uses The Guardian of Forever (that's where his base is) to come out on top, anyway.
Will the crew manage to stop old Spock? Do we really want them to?!

Genesis games coming to Sony systems
updated 12:00 pm EDT, Thu August 10, 2006
Genesis games on Sony
Don't shelve your Sony consoles just yet; Sega has announced that the Sega Genesis Collection will be coming to the PS2 and PSP this fall. For a time in the 90's, the Genesis was able to steal Nintendo's thunder, and with good reason - some of the 30 games in the Collection include Sonic, Altered Beast, Golden Axe, Phantasy Star, and Shinobi III. The PSP disc will even allow wireless multiplayer, though presumably that means local play and not via the Internet.

limiting future educational choices. In this later case, errors may lead to an enormous human losses.
The main point of these observations is that useful and instruction-relevant learning progress maps must be designed to reflect information from a variety of sources, including teachers' classroom observations, students' project portfolios, and performance assessment tests focusing on realistic types of problem solving. Our maps are also being designed to emphasize the strengths and needs of individual students, based on capabilities that we know can be changed through instruction, and to emphasize positive planning and optimizing functions aimed at ensuring maximum success ( Shavelson, 1991).
Reports that do not help students are not the kind we are interested in making available. Therefore, our learning progress maps are designed to emphasize a form of assessment that gives students lots of opportunities to demonstrate their knowledge and capabilities through sampling over long periods of time and a variety of areas that explicitly fit students' individual interests and experience. In this way, records are not as easily influenced by factors such as cheating, sickness, or disinterest, and issues related to validity, reliability, and generalizability are addressed in the most straightforward ways possible ( Gardner, 1991; Shavelson, 1989).
Assessment reports. The computer-based learning progress maps described in this chapter are graphic, dynamic, interactive, intelligent, decision-focused reports designed to produce n-dimensional student profiles that are linked in meaningful ways to future-oriented objectives frameworks, such as the NCTM's 1989Curriculum and Evaluation Standards for School Mathematics. They are capable of reporting assessment-relevant information from many types of data sources; and, their primary aims are to identify strengths and weaknesses of individual students for the purpose of optimizing educational opportunities.

Rosebud off Cape Raoul (Organ Pipes)
American yacht designers, yacht builders, sail designers, yacht owners and professional and amateur sailors have made a major contribution to the international status and development of the Rolex Sydney Hobart Yacht Race since the early days of the ocean classic.
US maxi yachts have taken line honours seven times and one, Kialoa III, held the elapsed time record for 21 years, but Rosebud is only the third US-owned yacht to win the Tattersall's Cup for first place overall on corrected time.
Rosebud follows in the illustrious wake of the converted 12-metre American Eagle and the maxi ketch Kialoa III, both of which took out the rare double of line and handicap honours in the 1970s.
The success of the Transpac 65 against a crack international line-up of IRC racing yachts augurs well for future American participation after somewhat of a drought in recent years.
Designed by Bruce Farr & Associates, Rosebud's win further strengthens the position of the now US-based New Zealander as the most successful designer of overall winners of the Sydney Hobart.
However, famous American naval architects such as Phillip Rhodes, Britton Chance, Sparkman & Stephens and Bill Luders designed many early line and handicap winners. In recent years, successful US designers have been Nelson/Marek and Reichel/Pugh, highlighted by the hat-trick of line honours by their canting keel creation Wild Oats XI.
Ondine II, owned by the prominent American yachtsman S. A. ('Huey') Long, technically was the first US yacht to contest the Sydney Hobart in 1962, taking line honours that year and again in 1968. A cruising yacht from Hawaii, Bachelor's Wife, took part in the 1950 Sydney Hobart, but Hawaii had not yet become a State.
Unquestionably, the two outstanding American skippers to win the Hobart have been Ted Turner with American Eagle in 1972 ((first on line and handicap) and Jim Kilroy who won line with Kialoa II in 1971 and then with Kialoa III in 1975 and 1977 (, setting a record in 1975 and winning the double in 1977).
Turner, of course, went on to become the successful defender of the America's Cup in 1977 with Courageous against Alan Bond's Australia.
Kialoa III
Back in 1972, after getting the gun with American Eagle, Turner had to a nervous wait before the Bill Luders-designed converted 12-metre was confirmed as overall handicap winner.
Turner made a colourful image as he paced the dockside in Hobart, chomping on a cigar and constantly checking his watch as the time margin for on corrected time narrowed.
In the end, American Eagle won by a mere 19 minutes with calms at the entrance to the River Derwent costing Australian Gordon Ingate victory in his veteran Caprice of Huon.
American Eagle 1972
This was the first of many encounters between Ingate and Turner although, unfortunately, Ingate as skipper of Gretel II did not reach the America's Cup challenge at Newport, Rhode Island, in 1977.
Ingate, now in his 80s, will be sailing on the Derwent again next month, helming his International Dragon class yacht Whim in the prestigious Prince Philip Cup. Turner has long retired from yacht racing.
I well recall Kialoa III's record-setting victory in the 1975 as she glided up the Derwent in the early hours of a dark December night in 1975 to set a time of 2 days 14 hours 35 minutes and 56 seconds, a record that was to stand for 21 years.
However, the Sparkman & Stephens-designed maxi ketch's double win in 1977 was a remarkable performance in a race full of drama.
A then all-time record fleet of 130 boats lined up for the start with one of Kialoa III's big boat opposition, the Australian yacht Helsal being forced out of the fleet before they even reached Sydney Heads after a collision with a ferry.
A sharp southerly change hit the fleet on the second afternoon of the race, with winds of 50 knots. Millions of viewers later saw the effect of this change on the two leaders, Kialoa III and another US maxi ketch, Windward Passage, when the official film of the race was shown on television.
The camera crew in a helicopter recorded some remarkable sequences of the crews of the two yachts struggling to drop their spinnakers and then reef their working sails as the southerly 'buster' came blasting out of a clear sky.
Kialoa III crashed her way through mountainous waves to lead the storm-depleted fleet home and also hold her time to win on corrected time, a remarkable effort for a maxi-rating yacht.
It is interesting to note that the runner-up to Kialoa III that year was Syd Fischer in Ragamuffin. Thirty years later, Fischer's latest Ragamuffin, a Transpac 52 is again runner-up to an American boat, the Transpac 65, Rosebud in the 63rd Rolex Sydney Hobart Yacht Race!
