|Just 1 meet left before state for Dragons
|Written by Kyle Arnoldy
HHS track and field athletes have been busy in the past week. The Tuesday, April 30 meet in Yuma marked the third meet in six days for the team, who turned around and competed in the St. Vrain Invitational in Longmont Friday, May 3 and at the Burlington Invitational Saturday, May 4.
Both the boys and girls finished in sixth place out of 16 teams at Yuma.
Jacinda Krueger led the way in Yuma, finishing in the top three in all four of her events. She took the top spot in triple jump, second in the 100-meter dash and third in the 200-meter dash and in the 300-meter hurdles.

Six Dragons traveled to Longmont to compete with the top teams and athletes in all classes. While no Holyoke athlete placed in the meet, most were able to improve their times and distances. Those who made the trip are Krueger, Edgar Cruz, Carlos Diaz, T.J. Gertner, Javy Rojo and Ryan Parker.
"That is where kids usually put up their best times because of the elevated competition," coach Luke Thomas said. "They got to see a handful of kids they will see at state."
Those who traveled to Longmont did not compete in Burlington. Both girls and boys finished 15th out of 16 teams at the Burlington meet.
With just one meet left in the regular season, a few Dragons are sitting in position to qualify for state by being ranked in the top 18. Krueger is currently sitting in 17th for the 100-meter dash and 13th in 300-meter hurdles. Carlos Diaz is in 17th place for 110-meter hurdles.

St. Louis (KSDK) - A 36-year-old man has been charged with assault a police officer.
David Marzullo, Director of Public Information for the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department, says Rodrigus Hinton has been charged with first-degree assault on a law enforcement officer and resisting arrest.
Marzullo says police stopped Hinton's vehicle around 3 a.m. Tuesday in an alley at the 4500 block of Chouteau when the driver tried to run the officers down with this vehicle.
The officers shot several times at Hinton's vehicle because they feared for their safety.
Hinton hit a tree and was taken into custody.

Another 52 cases if West Nile virus have been confirmed across the state, and two of the cases were fatal.
None of the new cases were reported in mid-Michigan. These latest cases are from Kent, Macomb, Oakland, Saint Clair and Wayne counties.
This brings the total number of cases in Michigan to 101, and the total number of deaths attributed to the virus is five.
"It is crucial to recognize that we will continue to see cases of West Nile virus in Michigan until after weather conditions change dramatically and we experience a hard frost," said Department of Community Health Chief Medical Executive David R. Johnson, M.D. "It remains vitally important for individuals to continue to take common sense precautions to minimize exposure to mosquitoes, as we expect mosquito activity to be aggressive in the last weeks of warm weather."

I just finished my third "D20 Cartographer Adventure Map," the Carved Caverns. These maps come on several 10 x 16 card stock panels, which have alternate map layouts on each side (so the edges of each panel should fit seamlessly with the edges of the next panel, no matter which sides you choose to use) resulting in several possible combination and a lot more re-usability than traditional game-mats. Basically I wanted some of the flexibility of dungeon tiles and the cohesive art and large scale of things like Paizo Flip-mats.
The Carved Caverns are made up of three of these panels, so there are eight possible combination. One side has rather generic empty caverns, and the other side has different landmarks for the DM if they need quest hooks or eye candy.
This set ends up being about 30" x 16" so it should have a pretty decent scale. I will post one of the possible combinations here: the top and bottom 'empty cavern' sides and the middle landmark side, namely a secret smuggler's cache behind a false-wall.
These projects are always done in 300DPI, purely in photoshop, and I often use Genetica Viewer for textures.
The official product page is here: http://www.thegamecrafter.com/games/...-adventure-map if you want to see some the other combinations. I always offer a free printable 8.5 x 11 sample map under 'downloads' which anyone is welcome to print and use in your campaigns at no charge.
You can also check out the "work in progress" in the subterranean/dungeon mapping forum.

Hi Noa, I came your blog via Mikael posting a movie you did. That led me to do a piece of bike art, a rubbing, based on an image of you in your long black coat. I'll go in an exhibition I'm having in July of just bike art.ReplyDelete
It's down the end of my blog post if your curious. Cheers, Mike

thanks blog photo. Grand Bazaar İstanbul...ReplyDelete
I don't want to be a prude or admonish folks, but why is it we put helmets on our kids, but we don't care about ourselves??ReplyDelete
If there was an accident from this situation in the photo - maybe the kids will be fine with their helmets, but their parents may not be as lucky.
This looks like a lovely family enjoying a great day out on a bicycle ride. I would love to encourage all of us adults to do what we feel is best for our kids - for ourselves as well.
today Cycle Chic Republic is albo about super mamas and papas:)ReplyDelete
Thanks so much for sharing this photo. We are big on family biking and this was such a nice surprise to see. We have since started wearing helmets as well. Cheers!ReplyDelete

Specifically, what we are confronting is a new "access hurdle" that comes right after the long process of market authorization is completed. It's best posed as a question: How can you build an effective, responsive price and reimbursement standard to establish that there is sufficient incentive for industry to develop the diagnostic tests that ensure the right patients will benefit from the best drug for their condition?
By and large, reimbursement of diagnostics is an opaque and passive process, in contrast to its pharmaceutical counterpart, where there is a relatively transparent pathway to a price agreement. The lack of such an approach for diagnostics leads to a lengthy process by which diagnostic and pharmaceutical companies are obliged to determine if a structure exists for reimbursement via a code-based system or coverage through hospitals or labs. In the latter case, there can be a high degree of budget variance across institutions. Hospitals and labs with insufficient funding are compelled to make tradeoffs on the number of patients that can be diagnosed appropriately. Rules also differ on stakeholder engagement in soliciting for diagnostic reimbursement. In some cases, the pharmaceutical industry is prohibited from involvement.Ultimately, the lack of clarity and systemic gaps lead to a lag in access, which has an impact on all key stakeholders. Patients receive suboptimal diagnoses and treatments given that physicians (oncologists, pathologists, etc.) lack metrics to showcase the best clinical option. Payers are using resources inefficiently as funds may be spent on treatments with lower response rates. One of the key criticisms of the oncology profession from payers is the "whatever sticks to the wall" ethos in determining the course of treatment, which, given the high cost of most cancer drugs, is simply an admission that there is waste in the system. Why not acknowledge that innovators of both the drug and diagnostic are not provided the appropriate incentives that should come with investment in the development of effective, targeted therapies?

St. Louis 23, Arizona 20
You can't help but be impressed with what the Rams have been able to accomplish, given their roster. The same, I guess, could be said of the Cardinals who enter undefeated. Given that it's at home, we'll go with St. Louis on rookie Greg Zuerlein's field goal.
Article Photos
Baltimore 27, Kansas City 14
There's nothing more I would rather do than pick against the Ravens here, but I just don't think the Chiefs have it in them. Baltimore is leading the North but hanging on by a thread.
Atlanta 30, Washington 17
The Falcons have come back down to Earth a little bit, yet keep finding a way to win. Did you realize that Michael Turner caught his first career touchdown pass last week? Did you also notice the Redskins aren't very good?
Pittsburgh 28, Philadelphia 14
This is as close to a must-win for the Steelers this early in the season, as I can remember. Perhaps the Eagles' leaky O-line is exactly what is needed to get the Pittsburgh defense going. Also never thought I would say this: Thank goodness Rashard Mendenhall is back.
Green Bay 24, Indianapolis 7
Replacement refs or the real ones, the Packers keep coming up on the short end of the stick this season. Luckily for them, they overcame last week. Still though, Green Bay is a shell of the team it was last season.
N.Y. Giants 34, Cleveland 6
The Giants are coming off a stinker on Sunday night, so it couldn't be a worse time for the Browns to be coming to town. Who am I kidding? It's never a good time for the Browns to come to any town.
Cincinnati 26, Miami 22
Haven't we seen this show somewhere before? The Bengals run up a surprisingly nice record, only to find out they haven't played anyone? Oh well, that should continue this week.
Carolina 20, Seattle 19
At some point Cam Newton is going to have to stop showboating and, you know, actually win a game. Put all that stuff to the side and just play, man. The Seahawks are about as hard to figure out as any team in the NFL to this point.
Chicago 25
Jacksonville 9
Rarely does a week go by when I don't feel better about the Bears than the week before. Like the Steelers, they keep hearing how old the defense is, yet still produce. The Jags are just scuffling along in obscurity.
San Francisco 36, Buffalo 20
The 49ers are good - real good - but it doesn't change the fact they haven't played anyone with a pulse. Seems as though that continues this week. Ryan Fitzpatrick would get picked off if he was throwing against air.
Minnesota 17, Tennessee 3
Maybe it's time to start believing in this Christian Ponder character. Well, let's be honest, it never hurts having the NFL's best back lining up behind you. Even if Jake Locker plays, and it's no guarantee, the Titans will fall.
New England 47, Denver 12
Great, just what we need - a week of fawning about the latest Peyton Manning-Tom Brady matchup. Let me give you a bit of advice, national media: nobody cares. The Patriots roll behind the running of Stevan Ridley.
San Diego 33, New Orleans 31
This looked like a marquee matchup when the schedule came out. Now it looks just like any other game. Even with the distractions, nobody can say they saw this coming from the Saints.
Houston 37, N.Y. Jets 6
What a joke the Jets have become. Rex Ryan will be the first coach fired this season, mark it down. It's time to put Tim Tebow in at quarterback.

Associated Press Release
NEWTOWN, Conn. (AP) -- Classes are starting Thursday at a re-purposed school for students who survived a shooting rampage three weeks ago in Newtown, Conn.
Desks have been taken to the new building in nearby Monroe along with backpacks and other belongings left behind in the chaos following the Dec. 14 shooting.
Families have been coming in to see the new school, and an open house is scheduled for Wednesday.
David Connors is the father of 8-year-old triplets who escaped unharmed. He says his children have suffered nightmares and jumped at noises.
Experts say it's important for children to get back to a routine and for teachers and parents to offer sensitive reassurances.

The Languages and Tools group devises sophisticated techniques and models for understanding software systems, programs and programming abstractions based on powerful mathematical abstractions. The group develops related design and implementation technology to demonstrate the viability of those techniques to support developers in managing the ever increasing complexity of modern software.
Research Areas
Design Space Exploration – Design space exploration (DSE) is the process of enumerating and ranking completions of partial system design descriptions while satisfying a (possibly huge) number of design constraints with complex interdependencies. Because of those interdependencies, system architects must consider all design constraints very early in the system design process to ensure a proposed system architecture will eventually lead to an implementation satisfying all requirements. DSE helps architects in evaluating design alternatives and choosing an appropriate architecture. Mathematically, DSE can be considered a constraint satisfaction problem. The tool FORMULA uses constraint logic programming (CLP) and satisfiability modulo theories (SMT) to solve those kinds of problems.
Software Verification – EMIC's software verification efforts are focused on the development and application of a "Verifier for Concurrent C (VCC)". VCC is a tool that proves correctness of annotated concurrent C programs or finds problems in them. In contrast to testing, verifying a piece of code establishes its correctness for all possible inputs and execution paths (100% coverage), which is particularly helpful for complex concurrent code where it is very hard to establish acceptable coverage with testing. VCC extends C with design by contract features, like pre- and post-conditions as well as type invariants. Today, VCC is the only verifier for C that works function- and thread-modular, which means that it scales to large code bases independently of the number of functions or threads. VCC annotations are transparent to a C compiler. They do not change the compiled code and therefore do not impact runtime behavior.
Application Domains
Embedded Systems – Modern embedded systems, such as the control system in a vehicle or the control of production processes in a factory, are distributed communicating systems whose sensors, actuators and computing nodes provide increasingly complex functionality. Moreover, these systems have to meet tight non-functional requirements in terms of their real-time behavior, memory footprint, or energy consumption. DSE helps to design those systems with better quality, fewer design iterations, and increased cost-effectiveness.
IT Management – Managing IT infrastructures requires keeping the software and configurations of hundreds or thousands of computing devices in sync – ranging from servers to PCs to smart phones or a host of embedded devices. IT administrators must match user requirements with corporate requirements and technological constraints to determine which version of what software must be installed and how it must be configured on a particular device. DSE helps administrators to makes sense of those different constraints, make smart decisions from among the myriad of different configuration options and keep their infrastructure in a healthy state.
Operating Systems and Data Base Systems – Operating systems stopped being single threaded 20 years ago. Today, they are extremely complex pieces of concurrent software that extensively use the features of the underlying hardware to execute quickly and securely. Because of this complexity, it is increasingly difficult and costly to assure the desired quality of operating system code by testing. Formal verification is an alternative that today, after more than 30 years of research, approaches practical viability. VCC has been used to verify the core of Microsoft's hardware virtualization solution Hyper-V, which consists of 100,000 lines of concurrent C code. Similarly, data base systems face extreme performance requirements. To address those requirements, they use very aggressive optimizations, such as lock-free algorithms in transaction kernels. These algorithms are very complex and difficult to debug. Again, formal verification with VCC can establish the correctness of the implementation and prove that not only the algorithm but also its implementation is safe.

Summary:Held yearly for centuries, the Ocean of Fire--a 3,000 mile survival race across the Arabian desert--was a challenge restricted to the finest Arabian horses ever bred, the purest and noblest lines, owned by the greatest royal families. In 1890, a wealthy sheik invited an American, Frank T. Hopkins, and his horse to enter the race for the first time. During the course of his career, Hopkins was a cowboy and dispatch rider for the U.S. cavalry--and had once been billed as the greatest rider the West had ever known. The Sheik puts his claim to the test, pitting the American cowboy and his mustang, Hidalgo, against the world's greatest Arabian horses and Bedouin riders--some of whom are determine...

FRESNO, Calif. (AP) — A tiny pest capable of carrying a disease that can kill citrus trees has turned up in the heart of California's citrus belt.
Tulare County officials say an Asian citrus psyllid was found in a trap pulled from a tree near Strathmore, southeast of Visalia, on Friday.
It's only the second psyllid found in the San Joaquin Valley. The psyllids have turned up in greater numbers in Southern California.
It's not known yet whether the Tulare County psyllid carries the deadly bacteria called "citrus greening."
The disease has decimated the citrus industry in Florida and other parts of the world.

With Kubinova riding her third winner on the card and 48th of the meeting, Maggie's Special ran 6-½ furlongs in 1:15.32 and paid $11.80, $5.80 and $3.80. Allen Gideon is the winning owner-trainer and breeder.
A 5-year-old Washington-bred by Spiker-Bella Capini, Maggie's Special has developed into a consistent sprinter for Gideon, compiling a 3-3-2 record in 12 starts with earnings of $40,606. Saturday, she rallied inside to collar Include the Baby past mid-stretch and edged clear for the victory.
Include the Baby, the 8-to-5 betting favorite ridden by Juan Gutierrez, carried a 1-½-length lead into the stretch, but was unable to hold off Maggie's Special and finished second. Include the baby paid $3.04 and $2.80.
It was four lengths back to third-place finisher Perfect Pie, ridden by Debbie Hoonan, and a $2.60 show payoff. The Gang and I, Appealing Resume and La Distanza completed the order of finish.
Kubinova also had wins on Davidaaronnathanne ($25) in the fifth race and Sovereign Bay in the third, and now has four three-win days at the meeting. The 23-year-old Czech is fourth overall, and also was featured Saturday in a Seattle Times article that included two photos.

It's hard to stand out in the crowded Blues/Roots Rock field but Dallas-based Somebody's Darling is a stacked deck of secret weapons. The visceral '70s-to-today guitar pyrotechnics of David Ponder, the massive keyboard groove of Michael Talley, the velvet jackhammer rhythm section of bassist Wade Cofer and drummer Nate Wedan, and the smoke-and-whiskey-cured vocals of Amber Farris combine to create a blistering Blues sound that is reassuringly familiar and yet fascinatingly singular. Although Farris, who also plays electric and acoustic guitars, generates plenty of fair comparisons to Bonnie Raitt, Susan Tedeschi and Heartless Bastards' Erika Wennerstrom (and maybe even a little Natalie Merchant in a rare quiet moment), she and Somebody's Darling may align closest to Grace Potter and the Nocturnals by virtue of the slinky dynamism and mesmerizing power they both effortlessly exhibit. Somebody's Darling plays Southgate House Revival's Revival Room on Friday. Tickets/more info here.

can be dangerous. Tebowing is just plain dumb. If there's one viral Internet
pose I can sign off on, it's Draping.
Fashioned after Don Draper's iconic pose in the Mad Men intro, Draping has infiltrated the interwebs! This is all in anticipation for Sunday's long-awaited two-hour season premiere. Read more about that here.
Like many fun Internet bits I stumble upon, Drinkify is a really simple site that has that cool, "Why didn't I think of that?" factor. Just enter the artist you're listening to (or plan to that night), and Drinkify matches a perfect beverage to match. Vampire Weekend = PBR, Sleigh Bells = 10 oz. Whiskey ("Serve neat.") and, because I was curious, Justin Bieber = 8 oz. Red Bull.
Anyone who knows my television habits is fully aware of my love for Bravo shows. I know, it's an abomination, but sometimes you just want a Taco Bell bean burrito instead of a fresh-cooked meal, and sometimes I want to watch Real Housewives instead of quality television. It keeps me grounded.
The latest gem Bravo has bestowed upon us: Shahs of Sunset, a reality show (duh) about a wealthy group of Persians in Beverly Hills. Don't hate me. The following is one of many internet rants from Shahs' hottest piece, Reza (NSFW). I'll never look at Parmesan cheese the same way again.
The award for web video series that will make you snort aloud, revealing that you're screwing around at work goes to...Bad Lip Readings! I'm late on this, I know, but damn if these stupid videos aren't hilarious. Unfortunately Rick Santorum's real words are just as ridiculous as the ones dubbed in this video.
One could not recap recent internet/popular news without mentioning KNOYGATE. Though anyone reading this has access to the Internet and therefore has probably been bombarded with the progressing stories on Kony, allow me to briefly explain.
Joseph Kony is the head of a Ugandan guerilla group that terrorizes the country, murdering villages, kidnapping children from their homes and turning them into soliders. He's an international villain, and filmmaker/activist Jason Russell has made it his mission to stop him. Russell created the film-turned-movement Invisible Children after spending time in Uganda. The movie's been around since 2006, but Russell recently started an internet campaign, KONY 2012, to spread awareness about the injustice in Uganda.
The video flooded Facebook walls, news sites and Twitter Feeds like wildfire. It was particularly popular with younger people, because the video targeted American youth, explaining that if enough people know who Kony is, we can get our government to do something about him. That translates to "Young people can make a difference," which is totally a good thing. Kids have been infiltrating malls, sharing KONY 2012 stickers and bracelets to spread awareness. But some people started to get concerned.
See, it's obviously great that young people are concerned about international injustice. But fad activism isn't just annoying; following an organization you don't previously research is dumb – and re-posting a YouTube video doesn't make you an activist.
Soon after the video went viral came speculation about Russell and Invisible Children. Because, you know, some people like to look into an organization before blindly accepting its cause. Turns out just a little over one-third of the non-profit's funds went to direct services in Uganda, in addition to countless examples of fishiness. Most funding was spent on travel expenses and film production. So the people who were critical about the whole KONY viral vid weren't just being dicks after all.
Then, something crazy happened. Literally.
Jason Russell lost his shit. Last week, Russell ran around naked, shouting obscenities on a sidewalk in San Diego. He was arrested, but not charged, and sent to a hospital on a 5150 psychiatric hold. Most recently, he has been diagnosed with "reactive psychosis" brought on by stress, dehydration and exhaustion.
All this, in a matter of weeks! Really, I don't mean to make light of an international war criminal and an activist's state of health, but this story has brought up more drama than any soap opera could dream. And that's why I love the Internet.
Independent Spirit Award-nominated film In The Family opens at The Esquire tonight. Writer, director and star Patrick Wang will be in town for the premiere weekend, and will host a Q&A after this weekend's screenings. Check out the 8 p.m. screenings Friday and Saturday and the 1 p.m. show Sunday to meet and chat with the star. Read our review here.
San Francisco dance company Robert Moses' Kin performs in town this week with Contemporary Dance Theater's Guest Artist Series. Faith and Fable was inspired by choreographer/artistic director Robert Moses' children – fairy tales, in particular. Moses reexamined moral tales and translated them into a multi-genre dance piece for all ages. Performances are tonight at Saturday at the Aronoff Center. Go here to read our interview with Moses.
LEGOs are one of those iconic toys that kids still think are cool and adults still secretly want to play with. This weekend's LEGO's KidsFest may be marketed toward youngsters, but LEGO fans of any age can be entertained for hours at this construction block convention. At the fest, you'll find a LEGO model museum (clearly not built by kids), a master builder academy, activity area, challenge zone and much more. Saturday's sessions have sold out, but there's still tickets available for tonight (4-8:30 p.m.) and Sunday (9 a.m.-1:30 p.m. and 3-7:30 p.m.) All sessions feature the same fun exhibits and activities.

It's Time to Step it Up, We Have Not Arrived!
Reflecting upon the past 50 years since the 1963 March on Washington we must pay homage to our civil rights leaders for their hard work, strength and endurance in the fight for equality and justice in America. Their unwavering commitment to The Movement made it possible for a Black man named Barack Hussein Obama to become president of the United States of America.
As I look at the state of equality and justice today, we are at a very critical moment.
Our elders have taken us this far. Some have transitioned on, others are continuing on the battle field for justice. Also, with all the progress over the past 50 years, some of us are under the misguided impression that we have arrived. I feel compelled to appeal to my generation and today's young leaders to make sure they understand: It's time to step it up and get busy.
The task before Black leaders today begins with making sure that those coming behind us understand that even though the Civil Rights Movement forced laws to change, it did not change the hearts and minds of all Americans.
In 2013, our young people must understand that racism and inequality may not always manifest itself in a white sheet or barking dog but the dogs are still biting. Inequality comes in many packages.
Back in the day people in power relied on Jim Crow laws and poll taxes to hold us back. Today, it's voter IDs laws and the "War on Drugs." A person with a non-violent drug conviction on is restricted in their ability to secure housing, financial aid for education, public assistance, jobs, and the right to vote.
What does the fight for equality and justice look like in 2013 and beyond?
In 2013 and beyond our fight is not just for access to education. We must make sure our schools are teaching critical thinking, promoting innovation, and preparing our youth for jobs in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM). The U.S. Census Bureau's 2009 American Community Survey reports that STEM workers earn more than other workers.
Modern-day equality struggles include closing the digital divide. Access to high-speed broadband Internet will increase job and educational opportunities as well as democratic participation and help to lower health care costs.
Diversity strengthens our democracy. We must make sure employers don't just talk about "diversity" and "women's equality," but also back up the talk in hiring practices. From the federal government to Wall Street to the corner store, we want to see Black women represented in top positions.
The elimination of racial disparities in our criminal justice system is paramount. The U.S. has the highest incarceration rate in the world and the incarceration rate for Blacks is more than six times as high as the national average and over 60 percent of those incarcerated are racial and ethnic minorities.
In 2013 and beyond we will continue to lead the fight to eliminate barriers to civic participation fighting against restrictive voter ID laws, felon disenfranchisement and any other tactics created to block Black people from voting.
Finally, I must address our responsibility as a people to work harder to prepare our youth in this ongoing fight for justice and equality. We must encourage them to pursue STEM careers, teach them to be environmentally conscious, and help them understand the dire need to stop the violence in our neighborhoods. We must take the time to instill good moral values so they turn to each other and not on each other and our journey will not be in vain.
As we celebrate 50 years of progress, let's thank our elders for their great fight by stepping it up because we have not arrived.
Melanie Campbell is president/CEO of the National Coalition on Black Civic Participation and convener of the Black Women's Roundtable. This article – the fourteenth of a 20-part series – is written in commemoration of the 50th anniversary of the Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights Under Law.

I think you said something about inheriting a Mossberg 500. A short barrel for that gun won't set you back very much, and will provide you with a marvelous home defense tool (assuming it is chambered in either 12 or 20 gauge). Save the longer barrel for using the same gun in the field. I think G1 has a sticky with a lot of helpful information about shotgun loads for defensive purposes. If I had a choice of firearms for the circumstance you shared, I'd MOST like to be holding a trusty scattergun loaded with appropriate ammunition.
The primary value of a handgun is...well...handiness. It's something you can actually wear on your person. One noted firearms authority says, "The purpose of a handgun is to fight your way to a long gun", or something to that effect. I also like a double action revolver for simplicity and reliability. As for the .38 Special being too wimpy...well, ALL the service cartridges are pretty wimpy by shotgun or centerfire rifle standards. Modern self-defense ammunition for handguns from .38 Spl-.45 ACP leaves very similar wound patterns. Being able to hit the desired target accurately (preferably multiple times) is more important than any difference in ballistics. Medium framed revolvers (usually Smith & Wessons) have been traded in large numbers for upgrades to semi-auto pistols. They can often be found at bargain prices in perfectly sound, mechanical condition. A simple 4" .38 Special loaded with any of the traditional +P "FBI" loads (158 gr.Lead Semi-Wadcutter, Hollow Point) is pretty good medicine for self-defense. Lots of LEOs who've been "over the mountain and seen the elephant" may chime in.
Lastly, and most importantly, there are ways to have firearms BOTH prepared for action AND secure from little ones. Each of these issues is critically important. We all want firearms to be a threat to the bad guys, not our own loved ones.

Don't worry though, we have a lot more Rim Calipers in stock than that.View Similar Products
Shimano 105 BR-5700 Brakes $0.00
Shimano's 105 group has always been the go-to line of components for budget-minded riders and racers. 105 components have always carried Shimano's most important innovations, but sometimes the integration of the really high-end stuff takes a year or two to make it to 105. We've always been huge fans of 105 because it makes really nice, high-end bikes accessible to the average rider. Like the rest of the 105 line, the BR-5700 Brakes weighs a few grams more than its Dura-Ace and Ultegra brethren and lacks a few bells and whistles. But when it comes right down to it, 105 components are Shimano's workhorses, and the best way to bring high performance to the racers of tomorrow.
The most important innovation that this year's 105 brakes shares with its more expensive siblings is Servo-Wave, a lever design that increases the amount of cable pulled with a given amount of lever movement. This improves modulation and braking power. It also allows you to set the brakes up in a manner that the pads sit farther away from the rim when not in use. This extra clearance is key in wet conditions and also helps when a wheel is knocked out of true.
Servo-Wave also means Shimano has redesigned the arms. In addition to curves that work better with the increased cable pull at the lever, they've redesigned the arm that houses the cable stop. This arm has been moved and the stop angle changed for better cable routing, which has the effect of reducing cable friction. The arm position also reduces the likelihood of the brake slamming against your down tube on those rare occasions when your front wheel flips hard to the right.
Additionally, Shimano has improved its SLR design so that the arch pivot location provides a quicker linear response. Shimano has also improved its braking compound. The new compound improves braking power by 20% in the dry and 100% in the wet. The spring tension in the calipers can also be adjusted to get a feel that's more in tune with your braking style. Brake shoe toe-in is adjustable so that you can dial in the brakes to feel as snappy as you want while eliminating squeaks.
The Shimano 105 BR-5700 Brakes are available in the color Black, and are sold individually as either a front or a rear.

Are these compatible with Sora 3500 levers?...
Are these compatible with Sora 3500 levers? And how wide of a rim can they accommodate? I have a rim that is 25.82mm at the brake track.
These brakes are designed to work with Shimano Servo-Wave levers (see paragraphs 2 and 3 of the description above) Your Sora levers do not have the Servo-wave braking. You will likely be able to get them running with your levers, but you will not have as the same power and modulation that you would get with the compatible levers.
Are there any issues with brake lever...
Are there any issues with brake lever compatibility? My front brake lever is a Shimano Tiagra from 2011 so I'm concerned that the 105 front brake will not operate properly with this brake lever. Thanks!
These brake calipers will still work great with your levers. The older Shimano road levers (all levels) are still compatible with the newer brake calipers.
Trusty old 105
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I have to give it to these brakes I've put some miles on them on some windy, steep decent's and they have always pulled me up when I've needed them to. If you dont want to go spend the big bucks on DA or Ultegra these are a really good option.
Great budget or not brakes!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I gotta say if you don't want to spend the extra bucks just to say you run Ultegra or Dur Ace then 105 gets a positive nod. I really can't say anything bad on this line of components. Very similar in looks as Ultegra but slightly heavier but works just as good. If I were to build up another bike 105 for the price point would get the nod over Ultegra unless I just lucked onto Ultegra for the same price. Great stuff folks so don't shy away.
Is this recommended for training?

Yes, go for it!
Id recommend them for everything! They're great!

Convection Cooking of Chicken Patties
Application ID: 448
When cooking food, such as a patty, in convection ovens there is a trade off in the heating method. If the patty is heated at a low oven temperature the cooking is slow and the patty dries out, resulting in a poor taste. If the patty is heated rapidly at a high temperature, it is difficult to get an even temperature in the patty. When the core is cooked the crust may be over-cooked.
This model describes the transient temperature distribution within a chicken patty during heating in a convection oven. The diffusion and evaporation of moisture is an important process, taken into account, dominating the heating due to the latent heat of vaporization. The model can be used to optimize the cooking procedure.

Some inguinal hernias don't cause any symptoms. You might not know you have one until your doctor discovers it during a routine medical exam. Often, however, you can see and feel the bulge created by the hernia. The bulge is usually more obvious when you stand upright, especially if you cough or strain.
Inguinal hernia signs and symptoms include:
You should be able to gently and easily push the hernia back into your abdomen when you're lying down. If not, applying an ice pack to the area may reduce the swelling enough so that the hernia slides in easily. Lying with your pelvis higher than your head also may help.
If you aren't able to push the hernia in, the omentum or a loop of intestine can be trapped (incarcerated) in the abdominal wall. An incarcerated hernia can lead to a strangulated hernia, which cuts off the blood supply to your intestine. Surgery is needed to repair the hernia and restore blood supply to the bowel. A strangulated hernia can be life-threatening if it isn't treated.
Signs and symptoms of strangulated hernia include:
If any of these signs or symptoms occurs, call your doctor right away.
Inguinal hernias in newborns and children result from a weakness in the abdominal wall that's present at birth. Sometimes the hernia may be visible only when an infant is crying, coughing or straining during a bowel movement. In an older child, a hernia is likely to be more apparent when the child coughs, strains during a bowel movement or stands for a long period of time.
See your doctor if you have a painful or noticeable bulge in your groin on either side of your pubic bone. The bulge is likely to be more noticeable when you're standing upright, and you usually can feel it if you put your hand directly over the affected area. Seek immediate medical care if a hernia bulge turns red, purple or dark.

Would Democracy Work Better If You Could Buy More Votes?
In Tuesday's election, millions of eligible voters didn't care enough to vote. Millions more were so energized they'd have voted twice if they could. So why not let them? University of Chicago economics professor Glen Weyl thinks letting people buy extra votes could be good for democracy, and our budget issues, too.

Hank Whitney: Cyclone Trailblazer
Related Links
More from Cyclones.tv
Story written by Mike Green, Director of Athletics Communications at Iowa State
Hank Whitney, without question, is one of the best basketball players in Iowa State history. The 6-7 forward from Brooklyn, N.Y., proved this on the court during his Cyclone career (1958-61).
Whitney came to Iowa State on the heels of John Crawford, another New York City product, as the second black basketball player to wear the cardinal and gold. His accomplishments at ISU helped pave the way for future black players from the New York City area-- like Vinnie Brewer and Zaid Abdul-Aziz (Don Smith) --to join the Cyclones.
Whitney was a true ambassador for Iowa State, but more often than not, his name gets left off the list of the all-time greats to play for the Cyclones. The athletic post player earned first-team all-Big Eight honors (1961), helped the Cyclones win a conference title (1959 Big Eight Holiday Tournament champions) and enjoyed a very successful professional basketball career with stints in the Eastern League, ABL and ABA.
It's time for Whitney to get his due, including his 2013 induction into the New York City Basketball Hall of Fame.
It was one of Whitney's proudest moments.
"The basketball hall of fame is a big thing in New York," Whitney said. "To be added to that group, and become a part of that, is a tremendous honor. It's something that everyone looks forward to each year and they finally decided that they were going to put Hank Whitney in."
Finding Iowa State
Whitney's story is a fascinating one, especially how he made it to Ames. ISU enjoyed a string of success under head coach Bill Strannigan in the 1950s. With the help of Crawford and All-American Gary Thompson, the Cyclones rattled off upper-half finishes in the conference, appeared in the national rankings for the first time and won the 1955 Big Seven Holiday Tournament title.
Strannigan had the program in high gear, but word didn't travel like it does now with television, the internet and social media. Whitney knew nothing about Iowa State as a prep star for Brooklyn's High School of Fashion Industries. That changed when he met a guy named John Boyle.
"Strannigan knew this John Boyle guy, who was scouting many of the high school baseball players in the area," Whitney remembered. "My high school coach, Coach Pierce, said someone was interested in me for basketball. I had a lot of offers to go to different colleges and my coach said this person who was affiliated with Iowa State is interested in me. I didn't know where the hell that place was."
Recruiting was far different in the 1950s from today's world, where every prospective star is tracked daily through recruiting websites. Word of mouth through contacts and scouts was about the only way players were discovered.
After ISU had targeted Whitney, the coaching staff set up a workout to see if he was worthy of a scholarship.
"They (ISU) told me to meet on the west side at a playground over in Manhattan to play ball, so I had to be there at a certain time," Whitney said. "Strannigan was there and said there would be other ball players there, too. They had us do some drills, you know—lay-up on the left side, lay-up on the right side, go to the high post, turn, shoot, so on and so forth. Then Strannigan said, 'can you guys dunk?' And I said, 'Yeah, I can dunk.' And I went up and put it through the hoop. Then he said, 'can you dunk with two hands?' And I put it through with two hands."
Strannigan evidently liked what he saw. Boyle quickly came over to Whitney to tell him there was a spot for him at Iowa State.
"Mr. Boyle spoke to me and said, 'you know the coach wants you,'" Whitney said. "I wanted to go to St. John's, but they already had a star forward from the area, Tony Jackson, who was there. If I went to St. John's I'd be a small duck in a big pond. Tony was all the ruckus in New York, and I didn't want to go up to Seattle, another school that was looking at me. I said right there I'm going to Iowa State."
Now came the hard part for Whitney. He had to tell his parents he would be attending a school he had barely heard of, over 1,000 miles from home. There were two strong selling points for his decision.
"Coach (Strannigan) showed me the schedule and I saw Kansas was on it, so I would get the chance to play against the great Wilt Chamberlain," Whitney said. "That was my first reason. Then I saw they get to play in Manhattan, and I said, 'Oh, I get to come back home!' But I later realized it was Manhattan, Kan."
"So I went to my mother, and she said, 'Well, what happened?'" Whitney recalled. "I told her I picked a school. She said, 'Well, where is it at?' I told her Iowa State. She said, 'Iowaaay?' I said, 'No, Mom, Iowa.' But, I guess the important thing was to get that education, and I promised her this would be a place that would allow me to do that."
Off To Ames
Whitney now entered a whole new world called Ames, Iowa. It certainly was an eye-opening experience for a young kid who grew up in one of the largest metropolitan areas on Earth.
To say Whitney went through culture shock was a giant understatement.
"Oh, you don't even want me to begin," Whitney joked. "First of all, I had to find on a map where Iowa was, where this state was. And I looked at the map and said, 'Holy Christ, that's way over there!' I had heard of Illinois, California, South Carolina, because my parents were from the south. My first impression of Iowa was that it would be wooden sidewalks and horses. And none of that was true, but that was an impression from an inner-city kid finding out about the other part of the world."
Having Crawford , Brewer and Nick Bruno, another New York City kid, as teammates helped ease his transition to Iowa life. Whitney and Bruno entered school at the same time and they quickly formed a special relationship.
"Nick and I went out to Iowa together at the beginning of the school year, which was in September," Whitney said. "Nick and I became very, very good friends. You cannot imagine how close we were. We never roomed together, keep in mind, but we were almost inseparable."
Hitting His Stride
Whitney sat out his freshman season under NCAA rules at the time and began seeing court time as a reserve with the Cyclones as a sophomore (1958-59). Crawford had just graduated and ISU struggled to its worst record under Strannigan at 9-16.
After the season ended, Strannigan abruptly left to take the head coaching position at his alma mater Wyoming. Whitney would enter his junior campaign with a new coach, Glen Anderson, and a new start.
Not much was expected out of the 1959-60 Cyclones, but for one weekend in December, ISU displayed its toughness. The Cyclones shocked many by winning the 1959 Big Eight Holiday Tournament title. Whitney and Brewer formed a formidable tandem in the paint.
"You cannot believe how special that was winning the conference tournament title," Whitney said. "We were missing pieces in the wheel the year before, and that piece was Vinnie Brewer. I felt so comfortable playing with him, because I knew that between myself and Vinnie we could get any ball off the boards. We beat Kansas in the final to win the tournament and it was just unbelievable. It was a great thing."
Whitney averaged 8.1 points and 10.0 rebounds as a junior while the Cyclones finished the season at 15-9 and 7-7 in league play. It was a great start to the Anderson era, and many experts had the Cyclones contending for the Big Eight title in 1960-61.
However, Brewer had off-court issues and was suspended for the entire season. Whitney would have to carry the team, and he certainly did his part. The forward produced one of the best statistical seasons in school history, averaging 17.4 points and 12.1 rebounds to earn first-team all-Big Eight accolades.
Whitney's season rebounding average broke the single-season school record, becoming the first of just four players in school history to average 12.0 rebounds a game during a season (Abdul-Aziz, Bill Cain, Dean Uthoff).
Life After College
It was clear that Whitney could compete against the best players in the nation. But professional basketball was nothing like it is today. There was only one legitimate professional league, the NBA, but there were only eight teams in the league when Whitney graduated in 1961.
Whitney took his education seriously, securing a job in education in the New York City school district right after graduation, even though he was the No. 37 pick in the 1961 NBA Draft. The security of a regular job was very lucrative for Whitney, but he still had the itch to compete.
"After my senior year, I went and played in New York's Rucker Tournament and other tournaments in the area," Whitney said. "I was playing with top-notch ball players. They were all coming to New York to play at Rucker. The team I was on was the perennial champs and I felt very comfortable competing against guys from the NBA."
Whitney had developed a reputation as a strong defender. His services were called upon by an upstart league called the American Basketball League (ABL). He briefly put aside his career in education to play in the new pro circuit.
"I was a very physical and intense player on the court," Whitney said. "I love defense more than I do offense. I had the chance to play in the ABL. I got a bonus, which was a lot of money in those days, and the league was going to be competing against the NBA."
As for his physicality, Whitney says you can ask Hall-of-Famer Connie Hawkins to attest.
"He didn't like playing against me," Whitney said about the basketball legend. "A lot of guys got caught up watching his moves. I didn't. I just tried to push him off the block and make him uncomfortable."
Whitney bounced around the ABL for a couple of years playing against Hawkins and other future stars. He played for teams in Cleveland and Los Angeles before the league folded in 1963. He moved back to New York to work and play in the Eastern League, a semi-pro organization.
Playing in the Eastern League allowed Whitney to continue his teaching career and dabble in hoops on the side. He did this despite repeatedly getting calls from NBA teams.
"I got a lot of calls from NBA teams to come and play," Whitney said. "I told them I'm not leaving. I got married, I had a home and I had a teaching assignment as the director of a recreational program. I was able to make enough money in my job to what many of the guys in the NBA were making. I finally was talked into going to St. Louis (NBA's St. Louis Hawks) in the summer of 1965 for rookie camp. I was invited back, but they couldn't guarantee me a contract, so I said no. Bill Bridges (St. Louis Hawks star) tried to talk me into staying, but I told him no. None of what they were offering was guaranteed and I needed something that was guaranteed because I had a family. So I came back to New York, and returned to teaching and kept playing in the Eastern League on the side."
The ABA
In 1967, another upstart league formed to rival the NBA. The American Basketball Association (ABA) was pulling out all of the stops to nab the best players in the country.
Whitney had a comfortable life and again passed on the opportunity to play in the new league. However, Whitney was blessed to have an understanding principal who knew his employee had other extraordinary talents.
The two worked out a deal which allowed him to play.
"When the ABA started, they went after me. I didn't want to quit school in the middle of the year, but my principal was very helpful," Whitney said. "He told me I needed to understand that this is an opportunity. Don't worry about your job. If anything happens you will always have a job here. He said, 'We'll work with you.' He released me a couple hours early every day, and I was able to practice with the ABA's New Jersey Americans."
Whitney put up outstanding numbers in his first season in the ABA, averaging 16.0 points and 12.9 rebounds in 37 games to help the Americans (now the Brooklyn Nets) make the playoffs.
The league was known for its rapid pace, high-flying action, the 3-point shot and its red, white and blue ball. It allowed players much freedom, and Whitney fit right in. As for the ball, Whitney was skeptical at first.
"Well, you see a red, white and blue ball, and the first thing you ask, is it a quality ball?" Whitney said. "And it was. There was some excitement with the 3-point shot, too. I remember being behind one game by 21 points and we had a guy make 12 3-pointers and we ended up winning. So there was some excitement with that 3-point shot. We were never out of a game."
The ABA showcased many quality basketball players. The league eventually merged with the NBA in 1976.
Whitney played two more seasons (Houston Mavericks and Carolina Cougars) in the ABA before hanging up his high tops.
"It was quite an exciting time for me," Whitney said. "I got to travel, met a lot of people and it was fun. But I was getting up in age, so I returned to New York and focused on teaching full time. I spent my last 25 years as a principal at my old junior high school."
Once a Cyclone, Always a Cyclone
During his time playing professional basketball, Whitney kept close tabs with his former school. One day, his former Cyclone coach called to check out a raw recruit from the New York area named Don Smith (Zaid Abdul-Aziz).
Anderson wanted his opinion on Smith. Whitney obliged, working him out and doing some reconnaissance work for his alma mater. His report to Anderson was glowing.
"I told coach, 'Hey, this guy jumps higher than me,'" Whitney said. "Coach said, 'Oh, no way. Nobody jumps higher than you!' I played one-on-one with him, and I came away so impressed. I told coach he is a hell of a ball player, you have to take him. And the rest is history."
Yes, the rest is history, as Whitney played a part in helping ISU secure the services of one of the greatest players in school history. Abdul-Aziz went on to earn All-America honors, was the Big Eight's Player of the Year (1968) and the fifth pick in the 1968 NBA Draft.
Whitney has been a success off the court, spending over 40 years molding young minds in his teaching career before retiring. He said Iowa State helped him along the way.
"I do not regret to this day going to Iowa State, because I met some of the finest people that you would want to meet," Whitney said. "Especially in the situation where you are African-American, and what was going on in those days. I had people adopt me and Nick into their families while we were there and made us feel at home. If I'd have to do it all over again, I'd still go to Iowa State. As a matter of fact, my son graduated from Iowa State. He graduated in 1987 and had a great time. I didn't force him to go there, but he wanted to go. I met my wife at Iowa State. She is from Des Moines, so that played a part as well. He came back to New York, where he is a teacher."
Thank you, Hank Whitney!

Everyone here should:
1) Buy an Xbox360 or go back to PC gaming
2) Never purchase another Sony product ever again (including their crappy music and movies)
3) Take your PS3 offline - install CFW. Load it up with backups from the 'net and as much software as you can.
I'm in support of the mob idea also. Must be nice to be able to buy off governments.

In parallel to these activities, at 12.30 pm, the missionaries of La Salette organise a children's Eucharist and, between 4 and 7 pm, simultaneous chess games are organised by the local Ágora group.
Throughout the day, the public can enjoy other entertainment initiatives featuring clowns, magicians and musical performances, such as that of Silleda's Children's and Youth Music Band. Finally, one of the festival's "star" attractions begins at 7 pm, with a traditional parade featuring models wearing clothes made by the children and their parents using recycled materials. As in all "romerías," the "carballeira" (oak grove) fills with families, sitting around a tablecloth, at tables or on the grass, to have lunch, a snack or dinner. There is also a nursery service so that everyone can attend, as well as stalls selling octopus.
This recreational-educational festival is unconditionally supported by the municipality, Community of La Salette Missionaries, Olaia Residents Association and other groups and institutions.
