I just started commuting to work this week on my road bike. The distance is pretty far at about 25 miles one way so I'm working up to the full distance by taking the train in the morning (cutting the distance to 5 miles) and riding home in the evening.
To carry my gear I have a messenger bag that appears to be perfect - except for one thing. It may be the cause of 2 runs/holes that have appeared on a new Novara Draft jersey. The jersey isn't done for but before I go on to systematically ruin my other jerseys I was wondering if anyone has any recommendations for a sturdier jersey that is rugged enough to deal with friction caused by a backpack/messenger bag and their straps.

Two Lincoln councilmen to attend 'Cap-to-Cap' conference after 4-year absence
Lincoln City Councilmen Spencer Short and Paul Joiner will join nearly 300 area business leaders at the annual Capitol-to-Capitol networking event from April 12 to 17 in Washington, D.C.
The Cap-to-Cap trip "is about building relationships within the Sacramento region and with the federal government in order to benefit Lincoln," Joiner said.
"This is an on-going effort," Joiner explained. "Without these relationships, the Highway 65 bypass would never have been built."
City Council recently authorized up to $7,000 for the event. As the trip costs exceed that amount, Short and Joiner will be paying some expenses out of pocket.
Lincoln City Manager Jim Estep said that Lincoln's delegates have been absent from the Cap-to-Cap event for the past four years due to city "budget constraints and a lack of significant projects and issues to be discussed in Washington."
"Lincoln's absence has been noted and it is important to have a voice in the significant discussions that occur during the trip," Estep added.
The Cap-to-Cap's purpose is to "bring together the region's business, labor and government leaders to build consensus for important regional priorities," according to the Sacramento Chamber of Commerce website.
Cap-to-Cap delegates, representing six area counties, will network with colleagues and meet with congressional representatives at the nation's capital.
"Hot topics" to be discussed include flood control, water quality, immigration, agriculture, jobs and business growth, cyber security and education.
For 43 years, the Cap-to-Cap advocacy program has been organized by the Sacramento Chamber of Commerce in partnership with regional chambers of commerce.
The event is the largest of its kind in the United States and includes leaders from the business community, nonprofit organizations, labor, local elected officials, and government agencies, said 2013 Cap-to-Cap chair Beverly Sandeen, vice chancellor for resource & economic development, in a newsletter prepared by the Sacramento chamber.
Short said the trip "is an opportunity to network with colleagues and combine resources in order to compete for federal government support for local projects."
Past Cap-to-Cap goals have included funding for the Regional Waste Water Treatment facility and Lincoln Regional Airport. Non-monetary goals have included limiting regulatory requirements and minimizing federal restrictions impeding progress on building roads and highways, according to Short.
Projects for 2013 will include a new water treatment plant for drinking water and the Placer County preservation plan, which will streamline federal permitting requirements.
Short also said he will participate in lobbying to ensure that Northern California water is not diverted to Southern California and will seek support for low- interest infrastructure loans for public projects.
Joiner said he will focus on finding federal funding sources for both the Nelson Lane project and for Lincoln Regional Airport improvements. Also, "if the opportunity presents," he will continue discussions on the Placer County Conservation Plan — a partnership effort between the city of Lincoln and Placer County — "to bring control local."
Currently, the Placer County Conservation Plan "is mostly in the hands of federal agencies," according to Joiner.
As Lincoln's representative to the Sacramento Area Council of Governments (SACOG), Joiner added that he will work "to continue the effort to effect good federal policy decisions for our region and our state."

November 17, 2012 /24-7PressRelease/ -- For most jobs, it is not important to be in tip-top shape. Many of the country's office, retail, administrative and public service workers are overweight or dealing with some sort of chronic health issue like heart disease, high cholesterol, high blood pressure or arthritis, and can still perform their jobs well. The risk to the general public is lower, however, for clerical or retail jobs preformed by employees in poor health than it is to for a long-haul trucker.
Long-haul truckers (also called over-the-road truckers) are some of the unhealthiest people in the American workforce. Studies performed by the Journal of Occupational and Environmental Medicine show that roughly, 85 percent of long-haul truck drivers were overweight, and more than half of all drivers are considered obese.
Studies by the American Dietetic Association and the University of Utah revealed more bad health news for commercial vehicle operators: obesity among long-haul truckers was much more prevalent than in the general population, and the percent of long-haul truckers who smoke--68 percent-- was also much higher than in other vocations.
The Risks Posed by Obese Truckers
Why does it matter if truck drivers are obese and smoke? In a word: safety. Overweight people are at higher risk for heart disease (which can lead to sudden cardiac issues like heart attacks), strokes, and premature death, which can be hastened by the high-fat, high-calorie fare sold at most truck stops. Smoking, as we all know, leads to a number of cardiac and pulmonary issues like chronic bronchitis and emphysema.
Furthermore, the sedentary nature of truck driving itself, sitting for long periods of time with a minimum of breaks (because the drivers want to cover as much ground as possible before they have to take federally mandated rest periods), can allow blood clots to develop that can move to the lungs, causing a condition known as pulmonary embolism, where a blood clot blocks arteries in the lung and prevents oxygen flow to the body.
Another risk factor for overweight drivers is a condition known as sleep apnea. Sleep apnea is usually associated with obesity, and it results in a number of oxygen flow stops during the night.
Each momentary loss of oxygen causes a corollary awakening of the brain, resulting in disrupted sleep that does not fully rejuvenate the body. Sleep apnea causes sufferers to be perpetually tired, chronically fatigued and prone to periods of extreme drowsiness, none of which is desirable for a person operating a multi-ton vehicle at high-speed, down a roadway filled with other motorists.
Change in the Works?
Commercial freight carriers are slowly coming to realize the importance of well-rested, healthy drivers. They are offering incentives like cheaper health insurance rates and bonuses for drivers who make positive changes like losing weight, stopping smoking and committing to an exercise regimen. Truck stops are cooperating as well, offering more healthy food options and some even setting up gym facilities that truckers can utilize while on breaks from driving.
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) is also getting involved, and is considering a rule change that would require drivers with a body mass index of 35 or greater (indicating obesity) to undergo testing for sleep apnea and, if apnea is diagnosed, requiring appropriate treatment for the condition.
While the commercial trucking industry and the federal regulators are making strides to combat unhealthy behaviors common among truckers, it may take time for improvements to be seen in the rate of truck accidents.
No one would dispute unhealthy drivers with chronic health conditions could cause accidents that injure or kill fellow motorists. If you or a loved one has been injured in a collision with a semi truck or other commercial vehicle, seek the advice of a personal injury attorney with the knowledge of truck accident cases to learn more about your legal rights and options.

Nike was on a roll this tournament with great kits designed specifically (and perfectly) for their top stars. Rafael Nadal and Serena Williams were among them. What do you think? Vote through Sunday's last final of the tournament vote for your favorite for a chance to win a $50 gift card to Midwest Sports. Vote below!
Semifinalist Rafael Nadal's look is on trend with the Nike Premier Rafa Crew with a color block pattern. Rafa's Nike Gladiator Shorts were just that… short. The 7″ shorts (compare to Federer, who wears 10″ shorts) showed off his Mallorcan muscles, but no complaints here! Rafa added another pop of color with the Nike Lunar Ballistec Shoe and don't forget the Nike Bandana. Rafa's racquet? The Babolat AeroPro Drive Plus, of course.
Serena Williams' time in Melbourne was cut short so it didn't give us enough time to see a lot of her lovely tennis dress. The Nike Serena Oz Open Dress she wore was in red violet with black color blocking, paired with the Nike Air Max Cage Shoe and, of course, Wristbands in black. The racquet Serena uses for her powerful shots is the Wilson Blade 104.
Vote below for Nadal, Serena or any of these favorite fashions for a chance to win a $50 gift card to Midwest Sports!

Australian power trio Wolfmother are calling it quits after only one album. In an odd announcement, the band confirmed that keyboardist Chris Ross and drummer Myles Heskett have left the band, leaving Andrew Stockdale as the ostensible winner of the "which one's Pink" who-gets-the-name ordeal. The band's last performance was a headlining slot this past Sunday at Australia's Splendour In The Grass.
From all appearances, Ross and Heskett may work on material together and Stockdale will look to restock Wolfmother with new musicians and record a new album. Citing irreconcilable difference, the band stated on their site that they "just could not find a harmonious way to work together and that has lead to the decisions announced today."
Let's cut to chase and start clamoring for the reunion now.

Middle East: 'status quo is not sustainable' UN political chief warns Security Council
Jeffrey Feltman, the UN Under-Secretary-General for Political Affairs, briefed the Security Council about increasing tensions in the Middle East. Drawing attention to the escalation in Gaza and Israel last week, Mr. Feltman called the current situation "unsustainable" and commented that the future of the Middle East cannot be shaped without addressing the Arab-Israeli conflict. The escalating violence comes eight months after the resumption of talks between Israelis and Palestinians. Mr. Feltman also spoke about deteriorating conditions in Gaza where tightened access has serious economic and humanitarian consequences for the population living in the area.
Mr. Feltman also discussed the situation in Lebanon, applauding the newly-formed Government for respecting United Nations resolutions, improving security, and preparing for the Presidential election process which is due to start on March 25 and take place by May 25.

'Do not let spoilers deprive you of your future', UN envoy tells Afghans ahead of polls
Ján Kubiš, the head of the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA), called on the Afghan people to exercise their right to vote and to ignore spoilers attempting to deter the holding of peaceful and credible elections. The presidential and provincial council elections are scheduled to take place on April 5th. While security remains a serious concern, Mr. Kubiš noted that the technical preparation for Afghan-managed and administered elections is on track. He urged all eligible voters to participate, stressing that the right to vote is a "universal democratic right, as well as a responsibility in strengthening the country's democratic processes and representative institutions." He further noted that this election comes at a "delicate juncture" for Afghanistan, one that may provide needed stability and predictability through a popular mandate across the ethnic divides.

UN agency launches first-ever database on global land use
The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) launched a new database - the Global Land Cover SHARE - harmonizing all available information on land cover, such as the amount of land covered by croplands, trees, forests, or bare soils. The FAO hopes that the database will be an essential tool in understanding the physical characteristics of the Earth and that it will assist in assessing agricultural sustainability, rural development and land use policy contributing to reducing poverty. The new database comes at a critical time when surging population, growing demand, and climate change poses a major challenge for agriculture.

UN expert urges long-term, rights-based approach to water crisis in Jordan
In an effort to address severe water shortage issues in Jordan, the UN Special Rapporteur on human rights to safe drinking water and sanitation, Catarina De Albuquerque, called on Jordan to take a holistic, long-term approach to its water and sanitation strategies. Ms. De Albuqurque noted that the current emergency measures are not sustainable and lack affordability. While 98% of households are connected to the water network, some households spent almost 50% of their income to pay for water tankers. To combat shortage issues, the UN Special Rapporteur urged implementation of a new tariff system that requires wealthy households to pay higher tariffs while poorer households would be guaranteed a lower, subsidized price.

At Dubai forum, UNESCO chief calls for scaling up efforts to educate girls worldwide
The head of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), Irina Bokova, called on the private sector and civil society to increase efforts to provide quality education for girl-children, stressing "powerful transformative benefits" for all of society. According to UNESCO figures, in 2011 there were 31 million girls out of school, of whom 55 per cent are expected to never enroll, which Ms. Bokova called a "waste of talent and human ingenuity that no society can afford."
In 2011, in an effort to address a generation of women left behind, UNECSO launched its New Partnership for Girls and Women's Education, bringing together leaders from the private sector and governments in Africa and Asia. To date, more than 20,000 learners have benefits from the projects in seven countries. UNESCO hopes to increase the number and diversity of its partners and coverage of its activities to provide girls and women in underprivileged areas with education and learning opportunities.

Head of UN rights probe on DPR Korea urges accountability for 'unspeakable atrocities'
Michael Kirby, the head of a United Nations-mandated probe into the human rights situation in the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) - the Commission of Inquiry, called on the UN to take action to address systematic, widespread and grave human rights violations, which he called "unspeakable atrocities . . . without parallel in the modern world."
The Commission of Inquiry issued a 400-page report documenting allegations of abuse which, according to the Commission, "arose from policies established at the highest level of the State." The Commission based its finding on first-hand testimony from victims and witnesses. North Korea and China both denounced the report and questioned its credibility. The findings of the inquiry gave rise to calls to refer the situation in North Korea to the International Criminal Court in The Hague.

UNHCR addresses alarming health situation of refugees in Cameroon
The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) has stepped up its efforts to help refugees escaping the violence in the Central African Republic (CAR), noting an increasing number of refugees arriving ill in Cameroon due to hunger and exhaustion after living weeks in bushes without access to water and food and walking long distances to reach safety.
A UNHCR spokesperson reported that the agency has increased its presence in the border areas, including deploying emergency staff, doctors and nutritionists. Many refugees arriving in Cameroon do not realize the seriousness of malnutrition and fail to seek help. UNHCR is seeking more donor support in order to meet the demand of the number of refugees arriving in Cameroon from the CAR, reaching more than 44,000 since last year.

Nigeria must urgently tackle poverty, end conflict, protect vulnerable groups – UN rights chief
Navi Pillay, the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, congratulated the Nigerian government on its efforts to address difficult human rights problems while urging it to increase efforts to tackle the most urgent problems. Noting that Nigeria is a signatory to various human rights instruments, Ms. Pillay stated that the provisions must be "fully reflected in national legislation, and the national legislation must then be fully observed and implemented by the authorities at all levels."
Ms. Pillay noted several issues that the Nigerian government should address, including conflict in the North against Boko Haram, pervasive corruption, poverty, and protection of the vulnerable communities such as women, children, lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender population. Ms. Pillay urged the government to implement concrete policy to protect the LBGT community from attacks and stated that the Same Sex Marriage (Prohibition Act) is a violation of international law and infringes on the right to expression and assembly.

Topic In Focus
Situation in Ukraine: UN Engagement Follow-up
Russia vetoed the UN Security Council draft resolution condemning the Crimea referendum which occurred on Sunday, March 16. The draft resolution stated the referendum "has no validity and cannot form the basis of any alteration of the status of Crimea," and urged states not to recognize the results. Russia vetoed the resolution while China abstained. 13 remaining Security Council members voted for the resolution. Samantha Power, US Ambassador to the UN, said "Russia was isolated, alone and wrong to block the resolution's passage." British Ambassador, Mark Lyall Grant, called on Russia to rethink its moves and find a peaceful resolution to this crisis.
United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said that he is "deeply concerned and disappointed" following the Crimea secession referendum and worries that it will only exacerbate an "already complex and tense situation." Mr. Ban called on all parties to resolve the political crisis through peaceful dialogue. He further condemned the violence which occurred over the weekend in eastern Ukraine and resulted in injuries and loss of life on all sides. He urged parties to engage in inclusive national dialogue to resolve the political impasse that started last November after the Ukrainian government decided not to sign an agreement on broader European integration.

Review of the Latest Citibank Checking Account Bonuses and Fees
Many large banks have continued to offer checking account promotions. However, customers who participate in these offers will have to be careful to avoid fees. That's the case with Citibank's latest promotion. On the plus side, Citibank has started providing a clear 2-page summary of its checking account fees and features. This is a new standard that many banks are adopting. You can review the checking account summaries at Citibank's checking comparison page. Click on the "learn more" links to see the 2-page summaries in PDF format.
The new Citibank checking promotion is listed at the bank's checking page. Here's the direct link to the promo. To qualify for the bonus, the following is required:
- Open a new Citibank checking account package by 10/31/12
- Within 45 days after account opening, enroll the new checking account in Citi ThankYou Rewards AND
- Complete one direct deposit AND complete one qualifying bill payment for two consecutive months
The amount of the bonus depends on the checking account package that you choose. As you might expect, the largest bonus requires a checking account with a high monthly fee that's not easy to get waived. Below is a summary of the bonus amounts and the checking packages. I did not list all ways that you can have the fees waived. Refer to the checking account fee summaries for the full details.
The Citigold Account package qualifies for 30,000 ThankYou Points redeemable for up to $300 in gift cards. However, this has a $30/month fee unless you maintain $50,000 or more for all linked deposit and retirement accounts.
The Citibank Account package qualifies for 10,000 ThankYou Points, redeemable for up to $100 in gift cards. However, this has a $20/month fee unless you maintain $15,000 in combined average monthly balances.
The Basic Banking package qualifies for 10,000 ThankYou Points, redeemable for up to $100 in gift cards. However, this has a $10/month fee unless you maintain either you make 1 Direct Deposit AND 1 Bill Payment each monthly statement period OR you keep $1,500 in combined average balances in either your Basic Checking or with a linked Basic Savings account.
Here's an important detail from the offer's small print:
Offer for new checking customers only. If you have received a bonus reward for opening a new Citibank consumer checking account within the past two years you will not be eligible to receive a bonus associated with this offer.
It should be noted that many readers have reported problems in getting Citibank to pay out its bonuses in past promotions, and many have had problems with Citibank's customer service. If you do decide to open the account, be sure to take a snapshot of the promotion page.
A FW member described his experience when he opened a Citigold Account package for a previous promotion. He opened the account on December and didn't receive the first $30 fee until May.
One important gotcha of this offer is that you could pay more taxes on this bonus than you might expect. According to FW member c3, Citi issued a 1099 of almost $800 for his 40,000 points.
Other Bank and Credit Union Bonuses
We have a bank promotions page with a table of all of the active bank and credit union promotions. You can filter the table based on the type of promotion and based on your state. I have more details about how to use this page in this blog post.
You can view my latest bank bonus blog posts in this bank bonus page. I and DepositAccounts.com readers often post on bonuses in the checking account deals forum.

In January 1988, the new bishop of Ahiara Diocese, Most Rev Victor Adibe Chikwe gave Msgr Emma Ogu and Fr Ekennia a joint posting to Sacred Heart parish Nguru. ( Reasons for the good of the Church-- another rescue but joint mission). Barely six months in this parish, the Bishop sent him to Belgium to study philosophy in the Catholic University of Louvain, Louvain-la-Neuve, in view of teaching appointment and formator in the provincial Seminary. This study leave lasted from July 1988 to Dec 1994. On return from studies in 1994, the Bishops of Owerri ecclesiastical Province appointed him a lecturer and formator at Seat of Wisdom Seminary Owerri. From 1995 till date he had some important appointments in Ahiara Diocese.
For five Years, he was in-charge of the Propagation of Faith; a member of the Senate of priests for four years; a member of the board for St John Paul 11 International Secondary school Umunagbor Ihitte, a spiritual adviser to the Knights of St John International 561 and their ladies since 2003 till date, and a visiting priest to some parishes in the diocese .From 1996-2001, Fr Ekennia was appointed a visiting lecturer to the Vocationist Noviatiate in Oparanadim .
On return from 15 months sabbatical leave in St Anonius Pfarrgemeinde Herten, in Muenster Diocese Germany from July 2010 to September 2011, Fr Ekennia had a temporary pastoral assignment at St Paul's Parish Egbelu Umuhu Enyiogugu from November 2010 to January 2011.It was a short but memorable stay with Fr Ben Ogu- the parish priest. The parish was revitalised thanks to the re-introduction of sunday evening services with benediction and Eucharistic adoration every friday evening. On the 27th of January 2012, Fr Ekennia was appointed the parish priest of St Thomas Aquinas Parish Lude Ahiara. H e replaced Fr Raph Nwachukwu , the former parish priest on account of his ill health. Fr Chima Ahaneku who until then acted as the administrator of the parish was appointed the assistant parish priest. The challenges before Fr Ekennia was enormous, but thanks to Divine help, St Thomas Aquinas parish Lude has become a peaceful and one of the vibrant parishes in Ahiara.
On assumption of Duty in January 2012, the new church bulding under construction had been prepared for roofing and zincing. Thanks to God in September 2012,the main section was completely roofed and zinced. Meanwhile the T cross section of the Church has reached the stagfe of roofing. It is our target to complete the roofing and zincing of this section before the end of the year. I must single out two great parishioners who have sacrificed their time and energy to ensure that the Church building is completed. HighChief A. ODOM - the Chairman of the building committee and Sir Tobias Okoro the Treasurer of the Parish Council and ofcourse my Catechist Mr Stephen Anyanwu who is a dependable companion in all my pastoral work in Lude .

Part of any gamer's bread and butter is the peripherals used when duking it out in an MMO. In our latest gamer hardware review, we take a look at the Roccat Isku FX Keyboard. See how it measures up before heading to the comments to add your thoughts.
The Isku FX comes complete with all the bells and whistles you'd expect of a modern "gaming" keyboard. Lots of additional functionality and programmable hotkeys, backlighting that can be altered to suit your tastes, there's thumb-keys that essentially act as "shift" keys and with the Roccat Easy-Shift[+] software this essentially adds a ton of macros to your keyboard that wouldn't be possible without the easy-shift commands. In fact, Roccat's kind enough to actually package the thing with a few default commands for World of Warcraft and other games. It's not a mechanical keyboard, but the keys themselves are of solid design, there's a great bit of space below the bottom row of keys and thumbster keys for your wrists to rest on making it a very ergonomic keyboard.

The Sony NEX-FS700R Super 35 Camcorder body is an update to Sony's NEX-FS700U that enables 4K/2K 12-bit RAW output and S-Log2 recording capabilities. It retains all the features of the NEX-FS700U, including the native 4K sensor, Super Slow Motion recording, built-in ND filters, and CineGamma curves. 4K/2K RAW is recorded to the Sony AXS-R5 Recorder via the HXR-IFR5 Interface Unit, or to compatible third party recorders such as Convergent Design's Odyssey 7Q via the 3G/HD-SDI output. The HXR-IFR5 Interface Unit and external recorders are sold separately.
The Super 35mm sized sensor matches that of standard film and digital cinema cameras. It accepts interchangeable E-mount lenses, as well as a variety of 35mm SLR and DSLR lenses and professional cinema lenses with the use of optional third party adapters. On-board, the NEX-FS700R shoots full 1080p video in a range of frame rates up to 60p, with bursts of up to 240 fps in full HD resolution and 960fps at lower resolutions. When used with the HXR-IFR5 Interface Unit and AXS-R5 Recorder, you can record continuous 2K RAW at up to 240fps and 4K RAW at up to 60fps. 120fps 4K RAW recording is possible in 4 second bursts. This makes the NEX-FS700R a high-speed, 4K camera ready for professional shoots such as indie films, commercials, corporate videos, and music videos.
You have the option of recording AVCHD footage onto SD cards, Memory Stick Duo, or the HXR-FMU128 Flash Memory Unit via the FMU port. It can also output 4:2:2 uncompressed HD video via HDMI 1.4 or 3G/HD-SDI to an external recording unit. For enhanced exposure latitude, CineGamma curves, including S-Log2, and 800% 709 gamma curves are available. Other features include an ISO range of 320 to 64,000, a shotgun microphone with mount/carrying handle, dual XLR inputs for recording uncompressed, professional-level sound, a 3.5" LCD panel with detachable with viewfinder attachment, and built-in ND filters.
- Super 35mm Exmor CMOS Sensor
- The Super 35mm sized Exmor CMOS sensor matches that of standard film and digital cinema cameras. The sensor's large size offers a variety of advantages over small sensor cameras, including increased control over depth of field, higher sensitivity in low light, lower image noise, and improved dynamic range.
- E-Mount Interchangeable Lens System
- Sony's E-mount gives you the flexibility to use a wide variety of lenses with the NEX-FS700R. Shoot with high-quality Sony E-mount lenses or with Sony A-mount lens via the optional LA-EA1 mount adapter. You can also use 35mm SLR and DSLR lenses or professional cinema lenses with the use of optional third party adapters.
- On-Board AVCHD Recording & Optional Flash Memory Unit
- The camcorder supports Full HD 1920x1080 video at 60p, 30p, and 24p. Video is recording using the AVCHD codec at up to 28Mbps. One memory slot accepts either Memory Stick Duo or SD/SDHC/SDXC cards. You also have the option of recording to the optional HXR-FMU128 Flash Memory Unit using the FMU port. The HXR-FMU128 allows record times of 10 hours at 28Mbps. Simultaneous recording to the SD memory card and HXR-FMU128 is supported.
- Slow & Quick Motion Recording
- Shoot 120 and 240fps bursts at Full HD 1920x1080 for super slow motion. Playback at 24fps yields slow motion at 1/5 and 1/10 normal speed. At reduced resolutions, 480 and 960fps bursts are available for even more creative possibilities. Other slow and quick motion frame rates available are 60, 30, 15, 8, 4, 2 and 1 fps in 60 Hz mode, or 50, 25, 12, 6, 3, 2 and 1 fps in 50 Hz mode.
- 4K/2K 12-Bit RAW Output
- When used with the HXR-IFR5 Interface Unit and AXS-R5 Recorder, sold separately, you can continuously record 2K RAW up to 240fps and 4K RAW at up to 60fps, and 120fps in 4 second bursts. 120 and 240fps 2K is also supported by the Convergent Design Odyssey 7Q. For lower resolution proxy files, you can simultaneously record to the AXS-R5 and to the camera's internal memory cards. Files will have matching time code, start frame, stop frame, file names, and other metadata.
- Modular Design
- Depending on your needs, the modular design lets you add a matte box, rods, and viewfinder hood for shoulder-mount shooting, or lets you leave the camera stripped down for lightweight, handheld use. A top handle attaches with two screws and the right side of the FS700U features an industry-standard Arri rosette mount for adding handles and other accessories. 1/4-inch and 3/8-inch screw holes on the top and bottom provide support for a range of accessories. The tape-measure hook and image sensor position index help when measuring focus on set. There is also a Hold switch to prevent accidental setting changes during a shot.
- Uncompressed 4:2:2 Output & RGB Output via HDMI 1.4
- Output 4:2:2 uncompressed HD video with embedded timecode via HDMI 1.4 or 3G/HD-SDI to external recording units.

Vanguard UMT strengthens soldiers
March 30, 2012
FORT STEWART, Ga. -- In an effort to foster good fellowship and boost soldier morale, the 4th Infantry Brigade Combat Team, 3rd Infantry Division's Unit Ministry Team hosted an opportunity for divine dining, March 27.
Scripture reading, prayer and special remarks from Chaplain (Col. retired) Alvin "Sonny" Moore were all a part of the Vanguard Brigade's first prayer breakfast of the year.
Spc. Christopher McKeithen, chaplain assistant with 4-3rd Brigade Special Troops Battalion, 4th IBCT, said it is vital that soldiers have venues, like prayer breakfasts, to remain spiritually fit.
"Spiritual fitness is much like physical fitness," he said. "To be physically fit you have to work hard and practice. And, you have to practice your faith to become strong in it. That's exactly what a prayer breakfast allows soldiers to do."
McKeithen also said that the prayer breakfast provides Troops an opportunity to be a part of the 4th IBCT team.
"It lets the soldiers feel like they can be involved in something with their peers and their commanders outside of work," he said. "It motivates me to see people here having a good time, sharing in fellowship and with smiles on their faces. When you see the value of a prayer breakfast, it really validates all that we do in the Chaplain Corps."
Chaplain Maj. David Trogdon, 4th IBCT, shared similar sentiments.
"Where there is God, there is always help and hope," he said, adding that the UMTs are always available to help soldiers to stay spiritually strong.
Trogdon said the brigade plans to host a prayer breakfast, or similar event, each quarter.

Nissan recalls 2013 Altima for spare tire defect
Saturday, April 27, 2013
DETROIT (AP) — Nissan Motor Co. is recalling 123,308 Altima sedans because their spare tires may be over- or underinflated.
Altimas from the 2013 model year that were made between March 21 and March 26 are affected.
Tires that are significantly over- or underinflated can increase the risk of a crash. Nissan says it has no reports of accidents or injuries related to the defect, which was discovered by a dealer.
Nissan blamed the issue on a malfunctioning pressure regulator at its Canton, Miss., plant. That equipment has since been repaired.
The company will notify owners starting May 3. Dealers will inspect spare tires and adjust the tire pressure for free.

10 Gallon Tank
4 Attachment(s)
Hey Everyone,
I've never actually posted in this larger part of the forum before, because the betta section is where I usually am. However, since I've changed a few things, I figured I would post some things I'm wondering about with my 10 gallon tank.
It's been set up for over a year, almost 2 years. It's been through a lot of changes in 2 years, that's for sure! Currently it has...
6 glowlight tetras
4 albino corys
2 african dwarf frogs
5 ghost shrimp
And for plants....
1 amazon sword
1-2 bunches of anacharis
1 java fern
1 moss/marimo ball
Failed attempt with duckweed..... little bits of it floating
1 bunch of Wisteria
Is this tank okay in this hopefully final set-up (unless I get more live plants)?
I know it's probably overstocked, but do you think it's okay? I've included some pictures of it :) Opinions, thoughts, etc welcomed.
I can't believe betta fish have lead me into this fun, but kinda expensive hobby. :P lol
Any tips to make it look better? That little pot usually isn't in there, by the way, so imagine it not there. :D
i like it. its a good looking tank! i just bought myself a 10 gal. tank tonight and plan on going with live plants also.
Thanks :)
Good Luck with yours too!
i havent been in the betta section in so long! i honestly have merely no problems at all with my betta 0_o lol but i should support the forum more. nice tank btw. i dont see it as being over stocked because anacharis and water wisteria grow very rapidly . I used to have wisteria...it grew like crazy!!!!! but one day...for some random reason...just started dying outta nowhere

VFXWORLD has the scoop on a brand new webisodic sci-fi series, SANCTUARY, produced by Stage 3 Media in Vancouver, created by Damian Kindler and starring Amanda Tapping (both from the STARGATE TV franchise). Tara DiLullo Bennett speaks with the show's vfx guru Ron Martin about the predominantly greenscreen/CG work with XSI and ZBrush, and how SANCTUARY represents the next evolution in series-based entertainment.
Meanwhile, Peter Plantec reports back from Stuttgart, Germany, home of the fmx/07 conference, which is quickly becoming "Your Global VFX Connection."
And, finally, at the end of the week, we begin the first of three articles on the summer's first blockbuster, SPIDER-MAN 3.

An Insider's Look at Hitting, Pitching, Fielding, Useful Stats, Practices, Bats, Tournaments,
Sponsorships, Fundraising, and a Whole Lot More
"Hey Dan read your managing softball book, one of the best books I ever read....my team is better than ever, started the season 3-0 so far and just crushing teams, plus I'm a lot happier as a manager. Thanks for the book" - Francisco, Austin, TX.
This book
gives you unique and practical advice on such things as:
And a whole lot more. See the full Table of Contents.
another long-time manager:
"Very nice book! Very informative and I like the laid-back, light-hearted style. The section on finding sponsors is excellent! Great comments! I enjoyed reading this."
In just the first few pages you'll learn:
And that's just the bare beginning. Here's a more complete list of topics covered in the book.
"Dan writes for people who don't like to read." - from a reader.
for the newbie manager (but veterans will pick up new tricks too), this book is
easy to read.
One reader said, "I haven't read a book in fifteen years, but this one I
couldn't put down."
One reader said, "I haven't read a book in fifteen years, but this one I couldn't put down."
Unlike other books about managing softball, this book is for the people who run adult teams. It contains none of that stuff you see in other books about being a positive influence on young minds.
From the book: "Books on coaching Little League keep reminding you that you are making impressions on young people that will last a lifetime. They say things like, 'As the sapling is bent, so grows the tree.'
But my saplings had been bent long ago, and trying to bend them back was not a job I was willing to undertake. Not without power tools."
This book
has no boring, repetitive drills that make your players skip practices, and no
diagrams of what the third baseman does on a hit to center with two on and one
out. Those topics are well-covered in the softball books you already own.
Note: This book is available ONLY from my website. I pack, address, stamp, and mail every copy personally from my home. This book is not sold in stores, and Amazon and other online booksellers do not have it and cannot get it, unless they buy it from me for the same price you pay.

During an appearance on "Ellen" last week, Los Angeles Lakers star Kobe Bryant revealed that President Obama talks much trash on the basketball court.
"You know he's from Chicago – the Bulls through and through. He always talks Bulls this, the Bulls that," said Kobe, who has played pickup games with the Commander in Chief at the White House. "I'm like, my goodness. Can I talk trash to the President?"
Asked if he did indeed trash-talk right back, Bryant said, "Of course I did. I couldn't help it."

Why do Elephants have Big Ear Flaps
Arunn Narasimhan
To answer the question in the title, allow me to assume the elephant as a sphere.
Sphere, being a much simpler geometrical shape when compared to the deformed volume shape of the elephant, can be used to understand an interesting property. As the length scale (diameter for the sphere) doubles, its surface area increases four times and the volume increases by eight times. See graph below to verify this. Red curve is area increase and blue curve is volume increase.
Figure 1: Length, Area, Volume - relative increase
For instance, an orange is about double the diameter of a lemon, but could in principle hold eight times more juice in volume. Same goes for humans, if allowed to be assumed as a cylinder, an adult twice as much height and girth (width) as that of a kid of equal girth would hold eight times more blood and flesh. Let this rest. We shall turn now into another issue.
A major difference between warm and cold blooded creatures is that warm blooded ones can generate by metabolism (cell-scale exothermic chemical reactions), the required heat energy to maintain their body temperature while the cold blooded ones require external heat sources like the Sun, to maintain their body temperature.
Mammals and birds are warm blooded (there are exceptions), while fishes and lizards are cold blooded (are dinosaurs cold blooded?). Elephants also are warm blooded tetrapods.
Warm blooded animals desire to remain at an isothermal body temperature of 35 to 42 degree C (varies between animals, for humans it is about 37 C - the core body temperature). In mammals and birds a highly active metabolism generates the required exothermic heat energy in their cells and feeds to the internal energy of the body, which results in the desired body temperature. The body temperature is maintained at the desired value with a built-in thermo-regulatory mechanism. This mechanism either releases the excess heat produced in the metabolism or triggers the body to generate higher metabolic rate at times, when the body temperature falls below the desired value.
For instance, when the outside temperature is very low, warm blooded animals regulate their blood flow and stop most of the flow from reaching the outer surface (just below the skin) so as not to release the energy as heat transfer across a favorable thermal gradient to the environment. This is one reason why we have white finger tips (very less blood flow) during cold conditions.
When this direct sensible heat release is not sufficient and the body temperature continues to fall, humans and birds shiver in cold environment to increase their metabolic rate. Shivering exercises the muscles to generate metabolic energy as much as five times that of normal conditions[1]. This release of more exothermic heat energy from the cells compensates for the heat loss to maintain the core body temperature a required constant.
Figure 2: African Bush (or Savanna) Elephant
On the other hand, warm blooded animals when faced with the need to release the excess metabolism generated heat energy, seek cool environment and divert their blood flow to the surface of their skin. This ensures higher heat transfer rate to the cooler environment from their body and maintains the body temperature at a constant value.
When such a direct sensible cooling is not sufficient to remove the excess heat, an evaporative cooling mechanism aids in case of mammals with large quantities of reservoir fluids. In other words, under such conditions, humans sweat.
One gram of sweat (mostly water) evaporates by absorbing (carrying away from the body) about 2.26 kiloJoules of energy.
Birds seldom sweat but, like dogs, they pant to release the excess heat.
Further, warm blooded animals retain their heat by insulating their body against the environment by growing hair and feathers. The hair traps a small layer of air around it as thermal insulation (air is a very poor heat conductor - k ~ 0.02 W/m.K). This is one reason polar bears are furry. This is also possible reason why we humans go bald. More on this in a later post.
Now to connect the geometry part that we saw earlier. In light of the above features, a bigger warm blooded animal should in principle generate more metabolic heat energy simply because it has more volume hence more flesh and cells. This metabolic heat release has to be regulated if it is excess only through the heat transfer across the skin surface area. As we saw earlier, the volume to area increase is not linear and hence large warm blooded animals, like Elephants, have more excess heat to be released than it is possible only through its skin as sensible heat and by sweating.
Figure 3: African Forest Elephant
But Elephants don't sweat[1]. And they certainly are twice as much in size as any of their savannah colleagues leading to a definitive volume (metabolic excess heat) to surface area (regulatory skin surface sensible heat release) unfavorable mismatch.
One way is to reduce the metabolic heat release itself and this indeed has happened, it seems[1], for large warm blooded animals in their evolutionary history - their metabolic rate is lower than that of their smaller counterparts. Even doing this doesn't seem to have regulated the body temperature of Elephants, which would increase, unless another mechanism compensates and takes away the excess heat generated.
Firstly, in such a situation, having a fur coat of a hair structure is the least desired thing and hence Elephants are mostly bald. The hotter the climate in which they live, the balder they are.
Figure 4: Indian Elephant
Secondly, Elephants have large ears which are packed with capillary structure through which sizable quantity of blood flows. Whenever there is excess heat that needs to be released, warm blood flows through these capillaries, while the elephant chooses a cold spot (like that of a shade) and uses the favorable thermal gradient to release the excess heat. In other words, the ear flaps of the elephant serve as an enormous convection fin - a flapping one at that - to enhance heat transfer from the elephant body to the environment.
Elephants are classified as the African and the Indian, with the African one divided further into the bush elephant and the forest elephant. And based on this theory one could reason why the ear flaps of the African Bush Elephant (see pictures) is larger than the Indian one. Assuming comparable sizes, the African bush elephant living in a hotter climate than the Indian one requires more blood vessels hence larger ear flap surfaces to release their excess heat to the environment which is relatively hotter. Lesser the thermal gradient, more the surface area required to transfer heat by convection.
And this theory also explains reasonably why the now extinct Mammoths, living in a cold tundra region, have fur coats and small hairy ears.

Jim Calhoun was asked how he is feeling Friday. He answered that. Then he gave his take on the state of officiating.
On how he feels ...
It's a funny feeling. Because the other two times I had anything extended like this, when I was fighting back from prostate cancer, it's a difficult time. It's a lot different when I was fighting back from melonoma because you have your mind so much on that. This time I had my mind on the team. I felt I had unfinished business back here with my team. I always felt I could, and from all indications I was getting, I wanted to return to my team. It was painful to watch the games. Exhilirating when we beat Texas. Disappointing the last nine minutes against Providence. Nerve-wracking against Marquette and DePaul. Heartbreaking against Syracuse.
On officials ...
From a basketball standpoint, I do want to comment on officiating. I don't believe that any one single official has anything against us. You can go through all the stats you want. Last year, if you had us, we were 24-1 at this point. My wife's birthday when Jerome got hurt. It was her birthday, that's why I remember the day. Every official who had us, only three of them were involved in a loss. I've never believed any good official -- certainly the officials I'm talking about, generally speaking, are good. But you can't do what they're doing. I've said that for 15 years. They can't work the nights they're working and give you the best they can give you. It's part of the sport, part of the, and it doesn't change our record. I have contacted the Big East officiating office three times and got no response back. But when I get a response, it's not going to change our record. I wouldn't be coaching if I thought someone was out to get us or if someone purposely did that. I think John Cahill is one of the best officials in the country. I don't agree with some of the calls we've had against us this year, but I could probably make that statement about a lot of officials. The biggest problem is not us. The biggest problem is NCAA wide.
I called before, dealing with Stu Jackson from the NBA, about the idea of four game a week, one day mandated that you've got to work eight hours of tape. I will be you, don't know it to be true and I could be 100 percent wrong, but some guys in our league don't watch eight hours during the season. They may look at one play, but they don't watch eight hours during the season. It's a difficult problem. It's an NCAA problem. As you remember years ago the conferences ran the officiating, and then it was taken over by the NCAA. We seem to be getting older in those positions. I mean this honestly. I like an awful lot of these guys. I think they're good for the game. I don't know how you can be good if you work 15 out of 16, or eight out of nine ... It's difficult sometimes playing Saturday-Monday as a coach, and I'm not running, theoretically, three or four miles. Well, some of those guys aren't running, either, so. But that's disappointing, and it's a problem that appears to be getting worse. I did get a chance, obviously, to watch a lot of basketball.
My job right now is, I started with this team and I want to finish with this team, in a sense we started something together. It's gone a little astray. I think the team has been somewhat snake-bitten and I don't think it has taken advantage of everything it could have done. I do think we're certainly better than our record would show. But we are 14-10. I'm not going to be Jim Mora and say playoffs. I'm not thinking about the NCAA. I'm thinking about the next game, which is Cincinnati, and hopefull we can get enough wins to get into postseason play.

Cubs' Ace Has Shoulder Surgery
I've said numerous times Ted Lilly is the true ace of the Cubs' rotation.
Of course, I'm always repeating myself because Cubs fans and the media barely recognize Lilly as an ace.
Don't ask me why, either? I think the whole conversation is plain as day.
Break it down how you like, but there's not an equal on this staff to Lilly. His overall numbers, wins and big-game production since signing with the Cubs three years ago is unmatched.
Lilly is the ace, even if by the slightest of margins. Better than Zambrano, better than Dempster, better than whomever.
Yet, earlier this week Lilly goes under the knife to clean up discomfort in his throwing shoulder, which he's suffered from since late August, and we barely hear a peep about the lefty being out four months, perhaps even longer.
Think news like this falls on deaf ears had it been Big Z, Ryan Dempster or the chosen one, Jeff Samardzija being cut? Not a chance!
Lilly said he wanted to avoid surgery altogether, but I can't blame the guy for pulling the trigger, not with him entering the final year of his contract.
If healthy, Lilly's gets paid like an ace next November…regardless of whether or not Cubs fans believe him to be one. It's smart on Ted's part. Returning to 100-percent should be the southpaw's top priority.
The Cubs, on the other hand, should be worried. It's three weeks from Thanksgiving and the club is already dealing with its first setback of the 2010 season…the ace is down, people. For goodness sakes, take notice.

Father Con Keogh was born in 1921, the son of a carpenter in Maldon, Victoria. He was ordained a priest for Sydney Archdiocese, in Rome in 1945, just after the city's liberation. He became a doctor of divinity and theology.
Back in Sydney in 1953, while driving a group of nuns home from a meeting, he started talking gibberish. He was taken to a St John of God home, where he threw one of the brothers through a glass window.
After he was diagnosed as suffering from paranoid schizophrenia, he looked for a self-help group, but could only find Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). He joined them, and eventually set up a dedicated self-help group, based on the AA model, for those recovering from serious mental illness. He founded GROW in 1957 and the organisation spread internationally.
After his breakdown, AA ''really got me back on my feet", Keogh said later, in an interview with the Catholic Weekly.
"I got from them the principle of mutual help for the mentally ill," he said. "We started with 20 people. We would sit around and speak about our experiences together. Eventually we realised we didn't have to keep coming to the group; we were staying well."
Keogh served as an assistant priest and was chaplain at Long Bay prison. But from 1968, he devoted himself full-time to GROW, which spread throughout Australia and overseas.
He kept the movement non-denominational because he did not want a barrier to anyone seeking help. That brought him into conflict with Cardinal Norman Gilroy, who believed God should be at the centre of the movement, but everyone who dealt with Keogh knew he was a priest and that his faith had helped him in his own recovery and his direction in life.
Keogh was on a constant round of overseas travel, writing, teaching and speaking engagements. In 1996, following a triple bypass, he started to cut back, and he retired in 2002.
He died on November 24

Defense Secretary praises Corps' 100 years of flight
May 19, 2012
By Jim Dresbach
Multiple decades of aerial adaptation, agility, steadfastness and excellence were recognized by Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta May 16 as the Marine Corps, guests and invited dignitaries celebrated another milestone in the corps' storied history.
A Marine aviation centennial parade and wreath-laying ceremony at the Iwo Jima Memorial climaxed with an aerial review featuring 10 USMC aircraft which could be viewed along a flight path that included parts of Washington, D.C., Arlington and the National Harbor area.
Both Panetta and the evening's first speaker, Lt. Gen. Terry G. Robling, deputy commandant for aviation, remembered the corps' humble aerial beginnings and the Marine, Alfred Austell Cunningham, who initially reported to the Annapolis Naval Aviation Camp on May 22, 1912.
"Marine aviator number one, 1st Lt. Alfred A. Cunningham's vision foresaw an aviation force whose sole existence was dedicated to support the Marine on the ground," said Robling. "Tonight we reflect on that vision and upon all those who have gone before who have given their last full measure of devotion fighting our nation's wars. It is appropriate for us to pass and reflect on their sacrifice."
During his 13-minute address, Panetta took the audience on a whirlwind excursion of the flying Marines' past, paid tribute to all the Marine Families who have supported past and present pilots and vowed to keep the corps' aviation force technology well above state-of-the-art status.
"From the very beginning, the spirit of courage, the spirit of determination exemplified by Alfred Cunningham has been the legacy of Marine aviation," the secretary said. "It is a spirit driven by a mission to project power from ship to shore and support Marines on the ground. It is a spirit that has guided Marine pilots to achieve the unthinkable and dare the impossible with their aircraft[s]."
The defense secretary also became an advocate for Marine aviators to keep their position as the top global fighting force well into the 21st century by upgrading and maintaining fighter performance and agility. "[On a visit to the USS Peleliu,] I was nearly blown off the deck," Panetta recalled a visit to view Marine aviators in action.
"That experience re-enforced for me the need for this unique take-off/landing capability we need in the future, because it gives us the ability to take the fight to the enemy on short notice and with overwhelming firepower. That is why the department is pushing ahead with the development of the world's first supersonic stealth aircraft with short takeoff and landing capabilities."
Before accompanying Commandant of the Marine Corps Gen. James F. Amos and Col. Paul Montanus, commanding officer of Marine Barracks Washington, for a wreath-laying in front of the Iwo Jima Memorial, Panetta remembered the flying Marines who made a difference in World War II's South Pacific theater, Korea, Vietnam and in the most recent conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan. Panetta said those Marines set the bar high for future pilots and aviation officers. "The future for our military and for Marine air depends on innovative leaders.
It depends upon our ability to think creatively and to maintain our decisive, technological edge," Panetta said. "There is simply no force in the world that can match the Marine Corps' ability to conduct agile and flexible expeditionary operations. There are no pilots anywhere that can match the relentless determination of Marine aviators to take the fight to the enemy on the ground and in the air. That has been true for the past hundred years -- and will be true for the next hundred years."
As the program came to a conclusion, Panetta reviewed Marine Barracks Washington Companies Alpha and Bravo, The U.S. Marine Drum and Bugle Corps and The U.S. Marine Corps Band. At approximately 7:30 p.m., the flyover consisting of two waves of aircraft breezed the Arlington treetops and Rosslyn skyscrapers.
Participating Marine helicopters in the initial wave included the UH-1Y Huey, AH-1W Cobra, CH-46 Sea Knight Rotorcraft, CH 53E Marine Super Stallion. The second wave aircraft cruising the District of Columbia skies included the KC-130 Marine Super Hercules, MV-22 Osprey, EA-6B Prowler, AV-8B Harrier and the F/A-18 Hornet.

Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan has joined a chorus of international criticism of Switzerland's ban on minarets, saying it refelects an increasingly racist and fascist stance in Europe. The Swiss foreign minister said the vote may pose a threat to the country's security.
A sticker saying "Thank You" is posted on a controversial placard
that was used by supporters of Switzerland's campaign to ban minarets.
Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan said Switzerland's vote to ban the construction of minarets was a "sign of an increasing racist and fascist stance in Europe," Turkish television Channel 7 reported on Tuesday. Islamophobia was a "crime against humanity," just like anti-Semitism, Erdogan said.
Turkish President Abdullah Gül also criticized the Swiss referendum in which 57.5 percent of voters had backed an initiative brought by the conservative Swiss People's Party and a smaller right-wing party which argued that minarets symbolize a quest for Islamic power. Gül said the vote was a "disgrace" for the people of Switzerland and showed how far Islamophobia had advanced in the Western world.
The Turkish foreign ministry said the more than 100,000 Turkish immigrants living in Switzerland were worried about the decision which "runs counter to human values and basic freedoms."
Fomenting Extremism
The United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, Navi Pillay, said in a statement that the ban was "discriminatory, deeply divisive and a thoroughly unfortunate step for Switzerland to take, and risks putting the country on a collision course with its international human rights obligations."
"Questions could very well be raised within the UN about holding meetings and activities in Switzerland, even if the Geneva canton belonged to those which voted against the ban," Swedish Foreign Minister Carl Bildt said on his blog.
Swiss Foreign Minister Micheline Calmy-Rey said the ban posed a threat to Switzerland's security. "Every attack on the co-existence of different cultures also endangers our security," she said at a meeting of OSCE foreign ministers in Athens. She said there was a danger that the "provocation will lead to other provocations" and would foment extremism.
In Cairo, Egypt's Grand Mufti Ali Gomaa, the country's top cleric, said the ban was an attack on freedom of religion and an attempt to "hurt the feelings of the Islamic community inside and outside Switzerland."
He called on Muslims in Switzerland to take legal action to try and reverse the ban.
