Microtech – part of TechConnect World at the Hynes Convention Center in Boston
Day one – June 14
The day began with anticipation and a full house (about 3000) at the opening keynotes at the TechConnect World, which is a combo of several "tech events" including Microtech, BioNano, CleanTech, Nanotech, and Tech Connect. The premise behind having all these inter-related disciplines is to cross-fertilize and "connect" to promote innovation.
The keynotes were several and a surprise appearance from Massachusetts Secretary of Energy and Environmental Affairs, Richard Sullivan, who was representing Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick. Next up was Travis Earles who recently joined Lockheed Martin after being at the White House's OSTP for four years. The morning's third keynote was from Terry Taber, CTO Eastman Kodak. I was heartened to hear him talk about the Valley of Death between lab and fab – a topic that motivates me here at MIG on a daily basis.
Now onto the good stuff – I was honored and delighted to host a one-day symposium at Microtech and the topic was hatched at last year's MEMS Executive Congress –which I talked about in a recent guest blog for Medical Electronics Design. It was a ton of fun pulling together the content and speakers for the program and I am indebted to Freescale's Mark DiPerri and Draper's Jeff Borenstein, both whom helped me concoct this QoL cocktail. MIG members can download all the presentations, but let me share with you the highlights…
The QoL symposium was kicked off by a phenomenal keynote by Dr. Slepian, co-founder, chairman, chief scientific and medical officer at SynCardia Systems. WOW doesn't even begin to describe what this guy and his team at SynCardia has developed/is developing – an artificial heart that enables patients waiting for a heart transplant to HAVE a quality of life (leave the hospital, ride bikes, enjoy life). His keynote I loved that he specifically pointed to a visual of the heart and said "I'd like to see a MEMS sensor HERE in this stent so I know in advance when this membrane is having trouble and may tear" so that he can save more lives, with MEMS; beyond just the artificial heart. LOVE IT. A QoL call to arms for the MEMS industry!
Dr. Slepian's keynote was followed by Mark DiPerri with Freescale. Mark began with his definition of quality of life – in fact several speakers brought up this question on how to define "quality of life." Mark said he sees QoL as personal satisfaction – and I like this concept as it's individual and represents the respect and dignity we should give those who are WITHOUT a QoL. Mark talked of how MEMS is the 4th revolution – giving us intelligent monitoring such as the monitored home; and how Human Machine Interface (HMI) is the "relationship between person & machine & understanding the person" in terms of: detect – analyze – respond. Mark then gave some cool examples of HMI including: BAM labs – like sick bay on Star Trek; and Hugh Herr's iWalk – intelligent prosthesis – "the power foot" which I described a bit in my blog from Sensors Expo.
Following Mark was another amazing presentation by Jeff Borenstein with Draper Labs. Seriously, all three of these presentations could have been keynotes in any thousand-person conference. A full description of Jeff's amazing work at Draper can be found in the recent EE Times article by Bill Schweber. My favorite part of his talk was when he showed images of artificial organs grown with the aid of MEMS to create a healthier growing environment and his description of drug delivery technologies enabled by MEMS.
Before the lunch break, Analog Devices' Tom O'Dwyer presented a thorough description and background of biomedical/healthcare enabled by MEMS. One of the cooler things he described was how the ADI MEMS microphone is in a "wheezometer" developed by Karmelsonic, an Israeli company that has a product that can detect and predict the future occurrence of an asthma attack. I NEED THIS THING DURING FLU SEASON!
After lunch, we had a series of presentations by OMRON's Donna Sandfox who delved deeper in describe OMRON's perspective of using MEMS inside the SynCardia artificial heart. I'd been hearing about the OMRON flow sensor technology for years and it was great to learn more. Then we heard from ginger.io co-founder Anmol Madan, who described the use of Modeling Objective Quality of Life using Smartphone Sensors- seems like a brilliant and simple idea and I liked seeing the predictions of health based on MEMS-in-the-machine that he described.
Then it was my turn to moderate a fun and engaging panel on MEMS QoL with several MIG members – including MEMSCAP's Steve Wilcenski, SVTC's Rich Brossart, NanoMedical Systems' Randy Goodall and my pinch-hitter, Jeff Borenstein who stepped in for a last minute cancellation. We had a great time talking about how MEMS is in QoL medical devices and why the world is ready for silicon-implantable devices.
But wait, there's more! The closing keynote was eloquently delivered by GE's Brian Wirth, who described how MEMS is in a myriad of QoL medical devices. Brian highlighted some WICKED cool technologies being developed at the GE Global Research Center including RFID chemical and biological sensor tags that have the potential to revolutionize the way we maintain and enhance QoL. Brian closed by summarizing that GE's goal is to provide healthcare products that combine "comparative effectiveness, personalized healthcare and real world effectiveness." An impressive trifecta.
Then it was time to party – we had a quick cocktail at the Microtech conference and then crossed the street to the Back Bay Social Club to join more Boston-area MIG members….
Thank you to everyone who came to all the events and a big thanks to the organizers at TechConnect World – it was a great event and I look forward to next year!
Next post will describe my fabulous fab tour and visit at Analog Devices – stay tuned!

Prodrive design, build and run motorsport and vehicle technology programmes for vehicle manufacturers. Programmes included Subaru World Rally Team, Ferrari 550GTS and the Aston Martin Le Mans cars.
Thanks to a friend of mine, he let me accompany him on a yearly fund raising event held by Prodrive for automotive professionals.
We had a chance to sit in Colin McRae's WRC winning 555 Subaru Impreza and also the Ferrari 550-GTS Maranello driven by McRae. We also saw the development of Aston Martin v12 engines used in the Le Mans cars. There were also a few £80,000 gear boxes made for Subaru that changed gear in 8 milliseconds and a customer was hanging around with the engineers as they put his new engine through its paces on the dyno. Loud!!

Say what you will about this Disney villain, but she is just as fashionable as she is powerful. The Adult Sleeping Beauty Maleficent Disney Costume features the Sleeping Beauty witch who sets the curse on Princess Aurora. The costume features her signature black velvet dress that is long sleeved. The dress has a purple trim on it as well, just like in the classic film, with sequins around the neckline. There is a slit at around the knees which expose your legs. A sheer black drape attaches to the arms of the look too. A standing collar neck piece that is purple on the inside and black on the out adds to the spooky effect of the character. Lastly, her signature tall horned headpiece finishes the look. There's no curse with wearing this amazing costume. You may not turn into a dragon, but you will become a powerful and great looking witch all with a couple of clicks.

I'm reserving judgement for now. I'd say keep it the way you have it for awhile and don't worry about it unless it proves annoying in the longer run.
That also saves your time for other things like the award icons...
I have added reputation number display...I made a command decision and made it so its not exactly visible at first glance. I may change my mind, but for now, i fyou hover over your reputation bar, your actual reputation will appear in the tooltip that pops up. Let me know if you prefer it a different way, and with enough votes I'll change it.

Robbie Powell - Site Admin
I'm not a big fan of clutter myself, but I liked the old way, and I didn't think it looked cluttered at all. So I voted the old way.
At heart, I'm a narcissist, even on other people's behalf. I voted the 2nd option.
Tooltips don't show up too reliably for me with the tablet, so I like options 2 or 3. Less clutter is good, but inaccessible not so much
I voted for the old way and here's why: the current way is nice and uncluttered, true, but with the rep counter clearly displayed and a number nearby with a label noting that this is in fact the user's "reputation" score you're more likely to have new users get curious enough to go looking to learn about the system and start using it. It was a bit of a mystery to me when I joined but I figured it out quickly thanks to the explicit way it was noted and went looking for the FAQ. There are so many icons on the Web that I'm becoming somewhat inured to them - twitter, stumble, bumble, fiddle, giggle, et. al. are all over every tidbit of info on the Internetz and I just don't have the time or inclination to go finding out what they are all about. Maybe I'm becoming a fogey though...darned kids.

Comments On Jun 30, 2014:I bought these gloves to replace an older pair and an inch on the side of my index finger ripped out half way through a hair scramble first time using them. After a couple months of using them the sticky parts on the fingers and palms are coming off. Simply not worth the money.

Comments On May 19, 2014:They fit pretty good and were comfortable. Unfortunately, the durability wasn't there after one ride (no crashes or excessive wear) I wore a hole in the end of the index finger and popped the stitching in the palm. Disappointing for an Alpinestars product. Would not recommend or rebuy these gloves.

Comments On Mar 15, 2014:Fit is nice, seemed true to size for me. However, left palm has a hole wearing through after minimal use (say, 15-20 hours of riding). No crashes to initiate hole. Would not buy again.

Comments On Jun 11, 2012:They were lighter than I was expecting. For 40 bucks I was expecting something a bit burlier. They are made for a more slender hand - I ordered size XL and the palms were too narrow and the fingers too long. Previously bought Fox gloves which fit my hand better.

Comments On May 20, 2012:First off, let me start by saying I'm a helicopter mechanic. I abuse gloves on a daily basis. I've gone through 4 pairs of mechanix gloves in the span of 6 months. So I was skeptical about buying a pair of MX gloves and them being able to stand up to the torment.
These gloves have taken that and given some back... it really is impressive. First time wearing them, they felt great and broken in. 5 crashes and they have yet to tear. I will definitely be buying more of these in years to come. Their a little steep, but totally worth it.
Also you can use your smart phone with them on.

This is a profession that is ideal for those who are interested in pursuing success in the field of healthcare, but maybe aren't interested in having direct contact with patients in a clinical setting. With the proper education, those who are organized and able to pay careful attention to detail can excel as pharmacy technicians1.
Pharmacy technicians are responsible for receiving and filling prescriptions. They work under the supervision of licensed pharmacists in a variety of settings. These include pharmacies, hospitals, clinics, assisted living facilities, retail stores and mail-order pharmacies. But that's not all they do. In addition to prescriptions, they perform duties such as maintaining patient profiles, answering phones and working the register. In the eyes of consumers, they're the friendly faces helping them during a difficult time.
To help you acquire the specialized skills, knowledge and work habits that you will need to pursue an entry-level position as a pharmacy technician, our Certificate and Associate degree programs in Pharmacy Technology offer:
- A combination of formal classroom instruction and hands-on training
- Valuable real-world experience through a clinical externship at an approved local facility
- Preparation for the Certified Pharmacy Technician (CPhT) national certification exam2 3
A profession that offers a healthy dose of opportunity
New medications that offer hope for those suffering from illnesses and various health conditions are introduced almost daily. This fact, together with the reality that the number of middle-aged and elderly people who rely on prescription drugs is on the rise means that the demand for qualified pharmacy workers will increase over the coming years. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, employment of pharmacy technicians and aides is expected to increase by 20% from 2012 to 20224
We've created a formula to prepare you for success
Because the work pharmacy technicians do requires very specific sets of skills as well as a broad base of knowledge about medications and their effects, our Pharmacy Technology program provides both theoretical and practical training. Your coursework will cover everything from pharmaceutical and medical terminology, abbreviations and symbols to the effects of medications on the various systems of the body. Drug distribution methods and the chemical/physical characteristics of various medications are also explored in depth as part of the curriculum. To give you the opportunity to apply the knowledge you learn and become confident in your skills, this program also emphasizes hands-on training. In addition to the filling of prescriptions, you will be able to immerse yourself in role-playing exercises. This will help you learn to think on your feet as you interact with customers in a realistic mock pharmacy setting.
Once you have successfully completed the Pharmacy Technology program, you should possess the skills and knowledge you need to confidently:
- Assume the responsibilities of an entry-level pharmacy technician
- Receive, prepare and dispense prescriptions
- Verify prescription information
- Maintain customer profiles and patient histories

The Eight Trigrams Sealing Style, consisting of two Four Symbols Seals, was used by Minato Namikaze to help Naruto Uzumaki access the chakra of Kurama, the tailed beast sealed within him.
To perform the technique, the user must first summon a ceremonial throne and place the target on it.[3] The seal was not automatically visible on Naruto's belly, but became perceptible whenever he drew Kurama's chakra.[4]
Whenever Naruto and Kurama conversed, it occurred within Naruto's subconscious, which was depicted as a basement of a boiler room or a sub-level of a power plant, with pipes running across the ceiling and the floor being flooded over with water. On the entrance gate of Kurama's cage, there was a parchment of paper that said "seal" (封), which covered the lock that kept the fox in.[5][6] Minato also sealed his and Kushina's remaining chakra into Naruto with this seal. Minato appeared in Naruto's subconscious when Naruto transformed into his eight-tailed form,[7] and restored the seal to its original strength, but he could only do it once.[8] Kushina also appeared and assisted Naruto when he later fought Kurama to control its chakra.[9]
Because the seal itself would naturally weaken over time, Minato created the key, on the abdomen of the scroll toad Gerotora, that can either strengthen or completely remove the seal.
During Naruto's two-and-a-half year training with Jiraiya, Jiraiya once used the key to weaken the seal for just a short time, so he could have Naruto try to filter out Kurama's influence when he tapped into its chakra. Unfortunately, it instead unleashed the four-tailed form.[10]
During Naruto's training to control Kurama at the Falls of Truth, the seal itself was destroyed when Kurama used its Tailed Beast Ball to try and blast Naruto after he used the key to open the seal's gate.[11] However, after Kurama's chakra merged with Naruto, he was able to imprison the fox itself with a new, stronger seal that consisted of massive torii, that Naruto could use optionally to restrain it. Kurama was generally free behind a gate resembling interlocking torii along with the same lock that was there with the previous gate.[12]

WASHINGTON – A 54-year-old man is dead after a townhouse fire Thursday night in the Woodlawn area of Fairfax County.
The man has been identified as Clifford Johns.
The fire started about 9:05 p.m. in the 8600 block of Venoy Court, off Sacramento Drive, in the Villages of Mount Vernon.
When Fairfax County firefighters arrived, they found the rear of the two-story, middle unit townhouse on fire.
They found the fire fully involved in a second-floor bedroom and found Johns in that room.
Firefighters rescued and transported him to Inova Mount Vernon Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
Three other people in the home escaped safely. None was hurt.
Fire officials say there was a smoke detector in the house. It was not mounted and did not activate.
The cause of the fire remains under investigation. It caused $50,000 damage to the home, but adjoining homes did not sustain any fire damage.
The medical examiner will determine the cause and manner of Johns' death.

Willem is an unseen character mentioned by Yoren in What is Dead May Never Die. He is described as being very handsome, "one the ladies like."
Willem killed Yoren's older brother and fled town that night. From then on, Yoren whispered his name before going to bed so that he could exact revenge. Willem returns years later and Yoren says he put an axe so deep into his head, they had to bury him with it. Knowing he'd be executed, he fled to The Wall so he could live as free as possible.

2012 proved to be the second-deadliest year of the millennium for traffic accidents in Colorado Springs, with 31 fatalities in 28 crashes.
According to the Colorado Springs Police Department, only the year 2000 had more traffic fatalities with 34.
CSPD says that of the 31 fatalities, 13 were pedestrian deaths. The pedestrian deaths occurred in 11 crashes. Police say alcohol or drugs played a part in six pedestrian deaths, and that the pedestrian themselves were the cause of the crash in seven of the accidents.
The 31 fatalities is up 29 percent from 2011 and 32.5 percent over the past five years. It was also well above the average rate for the last 16 years. In the last 16 years, an average of 25 people were killed yearly in traffic accidents.
The lowest rate of the last 16 years was in 2006, when only 13 people were killed in car crashes.
Police are concerned that 2013 could prove as deadly as 2012, with four people already killed in car accidents as of February 10. They released the following advice on traffic safety for drivers and pedestrians alike:
Everyone plays a part in making the roadway safe. Drivers must not drive while under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol. Other tips include: Always wear your seatbelt (every occupant/every time). Stay alert, obey traffic laws and avoid driving while distracted. Remember to look out for pedestrians, especially at all intersections.
Plan ahead and allow yourself enough time to get to your desired location safely. Passengers are asked to remember that the driver's first responsibility is to operate the vehicle safely so do not to distract them. Pedestrians are reminded that walking on the roadway can be inherently dangerous. The safest place to cross a roadway is in designated crosswalks, usually associated with a traffic light. Cross only with the traffic or pedestrian light. Still, take the time to look both ways before stepping out onto the roadway. Cross only when safe; don't cross if you have to run in order to avoid a vehicle. If you must walk on the roadway, walk facing traffic. If at night, wear light colored or reflective clothing and stay alert.

After reading the article about Social Music in 19th Century Kalamazoo, part of the "All About Kalamazoo History" section of the Kalamazoo Public Library website, a KPL patron alerted us to an artifact that provides some interesting information about Hull & Arnold's Quadrille Band.
While searching through some family items, Ray Buhl wrote that he had found a letter written to his great-great-grandfather, James Crawford, by John Hull, a highly respected violinist and leader of Hull & Arnold's Quadrille Band of Constantine. Hull & Arnold's Band was well known throughout Michigan and Indiana during the mid-nineteenth century and the group performed often in Kalamazoo.
The letter, written in John Hull's own hand on band stationery, reads as follows:
Florence, Mich. Feb 26th, 1882
Friend Jas. Crawford,
Enclosed please find two violin strings. I had them on my violin and when I got my Italian strings, I changed them. I hope they will please you and make your old Amati ring. With regard to you and your amiable wife,
I am as ever your friend,
John Hull.
Florence, Mich. Feb 26th, 1882
Friend Jas. Crawford,
Enclosed please find two violin strings. I had them on my violin and when I got my Italian strings, I changed them. I hope they will please you and make your old Amati ring. With regard to you and your amiable wife,
I am as ever your friend,
John Hull.
While the text is of little historical significance, the printed letterhead provides important clues about the membership of Hull and Arnold's band during the 1880s. At the time the letter was written (and the letterhead was printed), band members were John Hull, violin; Daniel Arnold, Clarionet(sic); Charles H. Arnold (replacing Morris Arnold), trombone; and (importantly), Charles E. Rogers, cornet.
Charles Rogers was the leader of the Constantine (Michigan) Cornet Band, and he later formed the Rogers Cornet Band of Goshen, Indiana. During the late 1880s, Rogers' Band became the "official" musical performance group of the Chautauqua movement in upstate New York. Several prominent Kalamazoo musicians, including Chester Z. Bronson and his brother, William Bronson, were members of Rogers' bands at one time or another. C. Z. Bronson was, of course, the first director of the Kalamazoo Symphony Orchestra.
In addition to the band roster, the letterhead also verifies that Hull & Arnold's band was indeed organized in 1838, a fact that that was generally understood, but remained unconfirmed until now, and that as of 1882, Hull was living in Florence Township just east of Constantine in St. Joseph County.
After reading the article on the KPL website, Mr. Buhl was kind enough to provide the library with a copy of the letter and a note explaining that the letter was found in his great-grandfather Norman Crawford's violin case (having been passed down from his father, James), but sadly the violin in the case was not an Amati.
Our sincere thanks to Mr. Buhl for sharing his findings. No matter how small, items such as this help fill the missing pieces of the mosaic that makes up our local history. Like the store owner says during the Pawn Stars program on the History Channel, "You never know what is going to walk through that door."

and shock trooper got a reference to him too
Ruler of Crest Eskatia was the only child of her Father, Hydenyubel, and her Mother, Diara.
Hydenyubel and Diara were well known for having an age difference of 30 years between them. When their marriage was announced, it was something of a scandal and the royal family was against it. But Hydenyubel was a such a sincere individual that he spent months traveling personally to every one of his relatives and feudal lords, convincing them one at a time.
Khiruki wrote:Bah. Everyone knows that Langbart is the true princess of Crest, and that Yug is the supreme leader.

(2) Convening of conference
(A) In general
In any case where the Administrator determines, on his own initiative or upon nomination of a State under paragraph (1), that the attainment or maintenance of that water quality in an estuary which assures protection of public water supplies and the protection and propagation of a balanced, indigenous population of shellfish, fish, and wildlife, and allows recreational activities, in and on the water, requires the control of point and nonpoint sources of pollution to supplement existing controls of pollution in more than one State, the Administrator shall select such estuary and convene a management conference.
(B) Priority consideration
The Administrator shall give priority consideration under this section to Long Island Sound, New York and Connecticut; Narragansett Bay, Rhode Island; Buzzards Bay, Massachusetts; Massachusetts Bay, Massachusetts (including Cape Cod Bay and Boston Harbor); Puget Sound, Washington; New York-New Jersey Harbor, New York and New Jersey; Delaware Bay, Delaware and New Jersey; Delaware Inland Bays, Delaware; Albemarle Sound, North Carolina; Sarasota Bay, Florida; San Francisco Bay, California; Santa Monica Bay, California; Galveston Bay, Texas; Barataria-Terrebonne Bay estuary complex, Louisiana; Indian River Lagoon, Florida; Lake Pontchartrain Basin, Louisiana and Mississippi; and Peconic Bay, New York.
(3) Boundary dispute exception

(b) Purposes of conference
The purposes of any management conference convened with respect to an estuary under this subsection shall be to—
(2) collect, characterize, and assess data on toxics, nutrients, and natural resources within the estuarine zone to identify the causes of environmental problems;
(3) develop the relationship between the inplace loads and point and nonpoint loadings of pollutants to the estuarine zone and the potential uses of the zone, water quality, and natural resources;
(4) develop a comprehensive conservation and management plan that recommends priority corrective actions and compliance schedules addressing point and nonpoint sources of pollution to restore and maintain the chemical, physical, and biological integrity of the estuary, including restoration and maintenance of water quality, a balanced indigenous population of shellfish, fish and wildlife, and recreational activities in the estuary, and assure that the designated uses of the estuary are protected;
(5) develop plans for the coordinated implementation of the plan by the States as well as Federal and local agencies participating in the conference;
(7) review all Federal financial assistance programs and Federal development projects in accordance with the requirements of Executive Order 12372, as in effect on September 17, 1983, to determine whether such assistance program or project would be consistent with and further the purposes and objectives of the plan prepared under this section.
For purposes of paragraph (7), such programs and projects shall not be limited to the assistance programs and development projects subject to Executive Order 12372, but may include any programs listed in the most recent Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance which may have an effect on the purposes and objectives of the plan developed under this section.

The owners of Gause Equipment in Lisbon announced that the company has joined the Evolution Ag family of Case IH dealerships. Pat and Mike Zehentbauer said that the company will continue to operate at its current location on Ohio 172 near Lisbon.
Pat Zehentbauer said, "When we made the decision to sell the business, Frank, Mike and I wanted to know that our customers and employees would remain the highest priority. Evolution Ag is a company that is working hard to provide a high level of customer service and treats its employees as partners. We believe they will be a great fit for our community and for our employees."

Equipment in Upper Sandusky and Delaware, Ohio. The company boasts a combined experience record of serving agricultural producers for over 175 years. Jim Henkel, Chairman of Evolution Ag said, "I have known Frank and Pat Zehentbauer for many years and our dealerships have helped each other numerous times. I am excited that Evolution Ag will be picking up the baton and carrying on the Case IH agricultural equipment line in the Lisbon and Columbiana county area. They have taken great pride in serving four generations of farmers and we plan on continuing that tradition."

It later became Gause Equipment at Mr. Richey's passing and the purchase of the company by Pat and Frank Zehentbauer. Gause Equipment was the first dealer in the area to become dealers for Cub Cadet and was ranked in the top 100 dealers nationally for 25 years.
Tom Hill, President of Evolution Ag said; "Farmers are asking for additional service and support for the technology that is on the farm today. We look forward to making available our precision farming and sprayer specialists as well as the entire Evolution Ag team to the agricultural community in Lisbon, Columbiana and the surrounding counties."

Evolution Ag has established a reputation for providing its employees advanced training and opportunities for advancement.

February 2, 2012
Ron Bailey
February 2, 2012 - The nay saying was growing, even amongst the Hoya Nation; fans questioned whether the Georgetown Hoyas could handle a physical frontline, as head coachJohn Thompson III's squad had fallen in defeat to four teams known for their physicality - Kansas, West Virginia, Cincinnati and most recently Saturday's loss to Pitt. With UConn looming last night, some doubted the Hoyas' ability to win. Well, they were wrong, as the Hoyas downed UConn 58-44before 15,174 Verizon Center fans. Thompson's bunch not only bested the Huskies in the most important metric, score, but outrebounded them as well (37-35) and outshot them by 13.8 percentage points (43.8% to 30%). The Hoyas played well in the effort-led stats, the dirty work. Junior guard Hollis Thompson led Georgetown with both 18 points and nine rebounds. A pair of seniors, Henry Sims and Jason Clark, followed him with 13 points, four rebounds and 11 points, five rebounds, respectively. UConn was paced by freshman center Andre Drummond's 18 points and seven caroms. Sophomore swingman Jeremy Lamb finished with 14 points and 6 rebounds. For a discussion of a topic germane to the game, see below. Fans will see G'Town, presently ranked ninth nationally and owners of a 17-4 record overall, 7-3 in the BIG EAST, lock horns with South Florida Saturday at Verizon Center, tipping at 11a. Connecticut (14-7, 4-5) hosts Seton Hall, the same day, a contest that begins at noon.The scheme: ...More... To continue reading this article you must be a member. Sign Up Now!

Hydroplanes to race on Folsom Lake at Granite Bay May 31 - June 2By: Matt Long, Sports Editor
For the first time since 1967, hydroplane boats will race on Folsom Lake.
The HI Unlimited Hydroplane Series, part of the Big Wake Weekend, will descend on the Folsom Lake State Recreation Area in Granite Bay May 31to June 2, 2013, it was announced at a press conference Tuesday at Toby Keith's I Love this Bar and Grill in Folsom. Series President Sam Cole, Event Promoter from 41 Live, Bob Richards and driver of the U-21Air National Guard Series boat, Brian Perkins, came to Folsom to promote the event.
"It will be California's premiere beach party and picnic weekend," Richards said. "We're going to transfer the park into an incredible venue with a luxury hospitality area, sky boxes, a beer garden and more. We will turn it into a premiere motorsports facility, much like Sonoma. It's going to be an incredible three-day experience with exhibitions and demonstrations throughout the week."
The hydroplane boats can reach speeds of 200 miles per hour, but drivers usually only reach 180 miles per hour during qualifying and 160 miles per hour during the race. The boats are about 29-feet long and 18-feet wide and weigh 7,000 pounds. The engine creates about 2800 horsepower.
Perkins, who's been racing hydroplane boats since 2005, is looking forward to racing on Folsom Lake.
"I can't remember that last time we had a new place to race so this is going to be fun," Perkins said. "It's a very exciting sport to watch and this is a fresh start with new fans. I know everyone will like it. It's a beautiful venue and it will be interesting to see what Folsom Lake has to offer the drivers."
The qualifying races will be held Friday and Saturday and the rest of the races, including the finale, will be held Sunday, June 2. The course will be a two-mile oval with the final race being five laps long.
"When you're out there by yourself the boats are pretty calm on the straightaway," Perkins said. "Then you go into the corner and 6gs throw you sideways and messes with your vision. When you get three to six boats out there it changes dramatically. It gets pretty violent, especially after a couple laps. It's pretty intense."
Other events to be held over the weekend include the Western Formula Lights, Super Stock Flatbottom Race Series, the Hyperlite Experience Wakeboard exhibition, the California Speedboat Association demonstration and the Vintage Jet Boat presentation.
Cole added, "We're delighted and excited to be back in the Sacramento area after so many years."

Comments On Sep 27, 2013:"I don't ride a motorcycle until it is at least 80 degrees Fahrenheit outside!" said I before this purchase. Truth be known I use the heated seat feature in my car nearly every month of the year. Recently, I planned an 800 mile motorcycle adventure touring trip to Jackson, WY only to find the weather on the cold (30 deg) and wet side. Off to RMATV to quickly order some heated gear and WOW! I couldn't be happier! I bought the Firstgear heated jacket, Firstgear portable heat-troller and the Firstgear glove liners. I put on the Firstgear heated liner (MAKE SURE IT FITS SNUG TO HOLD IN THE HEAT), and then put on my Klim Traverse Jacket over and plugged in the liner into the troller. I occasionally dialed the troller knob to adjust the heat as I was cruising down the road. The temp was down to 34 degrees Fahrenheit with a 65 mph wind-chill factor and all I could think of was "Aaaahhhhhhh! This is a nice and toasty tour!" They have designed this gear so the heat every where you need it: around the neck and arms and lower back - simply perfect for riding. It's hard to describe how therapeutic the heated gear is for adventure touring. It's simply awesome. Now I can eat my wimpish "80 degree" words and fear cold rides no more! ;-)
(FYI for you propeller heads: The NOAA Wind Chill Charts indicate that 34 deg at 65 mph feels like 17 deg or "very cold". This gear made me feel like the cat's pajamas and thatâ??s more than significant coming from my 80 degree standard.)
