Hey Jared M.,
This rack will not be secure to the trunk and neither will the bike unless you buy an extra component. We do not have it on our site at the moment but I found it from Yakima.com.

Hey Jose Arturo Esquivel Villalobos,

After doing the fit guide from Yakima.com I see that this SuperJoe Pro 3 rack will not be compatible with your 2013 Hyundai Tucson. Instead I will point you towards the KingJoe Pro 3, QuickBack 3, and KingJoe 3 racks. I have provided links for you below.

Hey Chris,
Thanks for your question.
That did not come up as an option under Yakima's fit guide for your 2014 Nissan Rogue. I would suggest the Thule Passage 3 bike rack. I have included a link to it from our site and it is below. I hope this helps.

Hi Patty,
For your CRV with the spare tire on the back, I would recommend using either the Yakima Sparetime (Item YAK0285) or the Thule Spare Me 2 (Item THU0395). Either of these two racks are designed specifically to work with a rear mounted spare tire. This Super Joe 3 Bike Mount would not work appropriately for your rack. If you have any additional questions feel free to let me know.

You're on the right track with a rear-mounted rack, but unfortunately this one is built for the trunk of a sedan and won't fit a hatchback. Yakima has a configurator at their website here (http://www.yakima.com/fit/Information) where you can find exactly what you need, and Thule does the same thing in case you want to check out other brands.

Will the Yakima Super Joe 3 fit for Chevrolet Aveo Hatchback?
Secondly, can you please advise what is the measurement between the two arms?
It depends on what model year of Aveo. I know it works on most Aveos that I have looked at. For confirmation use the rack configurator found here:
As for the space between the arms, it is 12-3/4" outside to outside on the arms.
good buy
Easy to set up and take down, the same settings work for my dads Toyota Camry, my GF's Toyota Carolla, and my VW Jetta, so switching to and from is quick and easy.
SuperPro Joe 3
This is an excellent bike rack! We have a 2002 vw golf and it is a great fit. It takes a matter of minutes to set the rack up on your car, however give yourself some extra time your first time to familiarize yourself with how the rack works.
We have used it on a 4 hour road trip both ways and the bikes didn't budge a bit. Our recommendation would be to consider the kind of bikes that you will be using on this rack. We got the 3 mount instead of the 2 and that saved us. I have a 29er mountain bike and my wife's mountain bike is a ladies frame. We have to use spots 1 and 3 for our bikes, the shape of our frames wont let us but the bikes right next to each other. I would assume that the easiest fits would be road bikes.
We decided not to get the top tube rack for the ladies frame bike and that worked for us. With strength of the straps and the way we positioned the bike it worked out just fine. Half of my back wheel stuck out from the side of the car which is understandable because of the big bike and little car.
This is a great rack we would highly recommend it, it is very sturdy and the saddle/strap system keeps the bikes from damaging your car.

It's back to school time, if you have kids who walk to school or to the bus stop, you've probably worried about their safety from time to time.
And with the number of recent abductions across the country, those concerns are most likely heightened.
Fortunately, there are ways to keep them safe.
Police say you can start by trying your hardest to have an adult walk your kids. If that's not possible, make sure they walk in pairs or in a group.
Talk to them, tell them not to talk to any strangers under any circumstances, and if they do see anything suspicious, be sure to call the police.
Drivers also need to pay special attention with more kids on the roads.
Police are asking you to be aware of school zones and slow down to 20 miles an hour.
And don't forget, it's illegal to pass a stopped school bus with its lights flashing.

PHOTOS: Florida's rejected license plates aren't always offensive
ROSEVILLE, CA (KXTV) - Obiwan Kenobi was arrested during the weekend in connection to a hit and run crash that lead to a 4-car pileup in mid-March.
The 37-year-old, who has the same name as the Jedi master from the Star Wars movies, was arrested at his Roseville home on April 21, Roseville police Sgt. Jason Bosworth said.
The crash happened on March 19 on Fairway Drive, near Rosehall Drive, around 4 p.m. Three cars were stopped in the straight-ahead lane on westbound Fairway Drive, while a fourth car was waiting in the left-turn lane.
According to Bosworth, Kenobi pulled into the left-turn lane, tried to merge into the straight-ahead lane between two cars waiting in the lane, hit the cars he was trying to merge between and then fled the scene.
The hit and run then caused a chain-reaction that caused the other two waiting cars to be hit also.
Bosworth said two people suffered minor injuries.
Kenobi was arrested on suspicion of hit-and-run causing injury and booked into Placer County Jail, Bosworth said. He was later released on bail.

The largest U.S. wireless carrier is now 100% American.
In one
of the most expensive acquisition deals ever, U.K.-based Vodafone said
Monday it agreed to sell its 45% stake in Verizon Wireless to Verizon
Communications for $130 billion in cash and stock.
Verizon will
pay $58.9 billion in cash and $60.2 billion worth of Verizon shares, as
well as $5 billion in Verizon loan notes, $3.5 billion in Verizon's 23%
interest in Vodafone Italy and $2.5 billion in assumption of Vodafone's
Once the transaction is completed, Verizon will wholly own
the wireless unit, giving the company more flexibility and options to
manage growth in the lucrative mobile data market.
Verizon, a U.S.
telecom giant that offers Internet, TV and phone service, owned 55% of
Verizon Wireless and has wanted to buy the rest for years. But until
now, it was never able to agree on a price with its U.K.-based partner.
$130 billion, the deal would be the third largest mergers and
acquisition transaction ever and would boost worldwide telecom deals to
$224.3 billion this year, according to Thomson Reuters. Currently, the
telecom deals that have been announced worldwide total $94.3 billion, up
28% from the same period last year.
Verizon's desire to fully own
the wireless unit has intensified in recent years as consumers' demand
for all things mobile grows unabated. Meanwhile, Vodafone's revenue has
been declining, prompting the U.K.-based telecommunications company to
seek cash and focus on operations in Europe and emerging markets.
intends to implement a new organic investment program, Project Spring,
to establish further network and service leadership through additional
investments of £6 billion ($9.35 billion) over the next three financial
years," Vodafone said in a statement.
While nearly all adults in
the U.S. carry a mobile phone, demand for other home devices that may
require wireless connections - such as tablets, thermostats,
refrigerators, home security equipment and cameras - is growing.
responding to the trend, U.S. wireless carriers have rolled out
data-sharing plans that can be accessed by all family members, and they
will make up for the losses in voice and text revenues.
"Even in
the saturated market, (Verizon Wireless) continues to post growth
figures," said Bill Menezes, an industry analyst at research firm
Gartner. "They don't even post average revenue per user numbers anymore.
They post average revenue per account. They're looking at a world where
growth is coming from these ancillary devices."
Verizon Wireless
was formed in 2000 after what was then Bell Atlantic formed a joint
venture with Vodafone for a wireless carrier service in the U.S. During
the formation of the wireless venture, Bell Atlantic merged with GTE to
form Verizon Communications.
The two companies were close to a
deal in April but couldn't pull the trigger, analysts said. When the two
companies were negotiating in April, analysts said Verizon was looking
to pay about $100 billion for the stake, while Vodafone was holding out
for about $130 billion.
But favorable conditions in the financing
market likely drove Verizon to pick up its pace. "Interest rates are
going up and that could be the driver," said Roger Entner, a wireless
industry analyst at Recon Analytics. "Financing the deal becomes
increasingly expensive."
Still, the $130 billion valuation for a
45% stake - or eight times the company's earnings before interest, taxes
and other items - may be too high for Verizon shareholders, according
to Christopher King, an analyst at Stifel Nicolaus. "It's an attractive
valuation for Vodafone," he said.
The rate of mobile device
adoption is slowing from its early years in the U.S., but seizing full
control of the largest U.S. carrier would give Verizon multiple
strategic options for future growth.
In the most recent quarter,
Verizon Wireless' service revenue grew 8.3% year-over-year as the total
number of connections exceeded 100 million. Its 4G LTE coverage - the
fastest data network type available in the U.S. - is available in 500
markets across the U.S.
With Verizon fully under its umbrella of
operations, it can integrate the wired and wireless units more deeply,
particularly in back-end operations and IT systems, Entner said. "They
can also seamlessly bundle the bill. They can do more joint marketing,"
he said.
Verizon set up its "Enterprise Solutions" unit to target
business customers, but the limited ownership of the wireless service
has kept it in check, Menezes said. "They can offer more unified
offerings. It took a long time to structure (the enterprise unit). In
talking to businesses, customers say they still have to talk to two
different companies," he said.
Verizon Wireless has plans to
expand into Canada by buying the rights to some of the country's
wireless airwaves, or spectrum, but having to continuously report to
Vodafone - which is looking to narrow its market focus to Europe and
other emerging areas - would have complicated matters, he said.
has its own share of financial issues that are driving the decision to
unload the share. The company's service revenue fell 3.5% in the most
recent quarter, and "there's a lot of pressure" to reassess its
priorities on where to expand and shrink business exposure, said Chetan
Sharma, an independent wireless industry analyst in Seattle. "They have
more incentives to make a deal," he said. "If the economic conditions in
Europe were better, it'd have let (its stake in Verizon Wireless)
continue to grow. But it needs to consolidate its core markets."
the competitive landscape in the wireless industry is shifting as
smaller competitors tighten their operations, introduce aggressively low
pricing and seek out deals to combat larger carriers.
In June,
Japan's Softbank paid $21.6 billion to buy 78% of Sprint, giving the
Overland Park, Kan.-based company a much-needed cash infusion to grow
its wireless network and greater bargaining leverage against phone
T-Mobile struggled for years as the fourth largest carrier
in the U.S., but its business outlook has brightened in recent months
following the acquisition of MetroPCS this year that added about 9
million customers.
T-Mobile said in August that it added 1.1
million customers in the second quarter (after accounting for those who
dropped the service). Its post-paid plans, considered the most
profitable part of the wireless business, drew 688,000 new customers
during the quarter.

However, the fact that Stephan had to scream for Zebstrika to stay in the game had me surprised, I actually expected this to be a 'dodge, dodge, Giga Impact' battle, but it lasted longer then that and I was pleasantly surprised. And apparently, even Vaporeon vs. Crustle spans two episodes as well.. :P

I liked the flashbacks. I wishes Trip hung out with Ash and the rivals. Looks like Ash, Kotetsu, Bianca and Virgil's battles all span into the next episode.
Great episode, but now I'm excited to see the next, for few seconds I was thinking that Ash's going to lose, but I remember his fight agaisnt Georgia with Pawniard, so I'm okay now !
Why Trip didn't send out another Pokémon, god ? 8@
Oh and a little bit sad that the Eelektross isn't Bianca's.
Stephan's running gag is done now? I read on bulbapedia that the characters start getting his name right in this episode. I was hoping for Kotetsu to just get the name right of all people while everyone else still gets it wrong but oh well.
It's nice that the rival battles are more focused on, although I hope that doesn't get in the way of Ash's battle with whatever "COTD" he's facing. Are all these battles going on at once too since it seems like a few of the rival aren't finished yet.
Did they show anyone's badges other then Ash and Kotetsu?
I like the look of the episode.

*I love how excited is Ash, he'll always be my favorite character.
*The interactions were amazing, Bianca's tumbled down Ash on a fountain, love her silliness, Kotetsu is typical dumb Kotetsu, Stephan is fiery, Trip changed its attitude, Virgil arrived in style. haha Virgil and Trip don't hang out with Ash & co.
*The gym flashbacks were so cool, a retrospective of Unova quest. the night scene reminds me of Indigo League :')
*The rival battles / preliminary rounds were well done, all of the rivals had their moments. of course we're left with a cliffhanger..
One of the greatest episodes ever, well it's the start of the event of the year. 10/10

I never expect Ash faces his main Unova rival Trip in the very first round of the League. To be honest, I was expecting that Ash faces Trip in the later round, but then the writes have change that. Ash and Pikachu got to win this duel. They just had to.
I am here to help others to solve their problem,and I'm also the big fan of Kissshipping.

The Stephan name gag is over? HALLELUJAH!!!
Anyway this episode was a decent opener for the event. Next week should be better though.

I really like this episode and I'm glad that the rivals get more detailed fights then the other league so far
Hold on.
I only saw Pictures. And I haven't seen them all yet, but I'm pretty sure it's confirmed.
Ash rotates a Pokémon, and we don't see that Pokémon or know what it is, And ASH uses Pikachu in the first match.
Does anyone see how wrong that is?
That doesn't make any sense, but sure, I guess Juniper had to show up, to tell us how Ash get his Pokémon because he has more than six.....yeah okay sure because that's necessary.
I mean if we actually saw the Pokémon I wouldn't mind so much but we don't see it. I'm annoyed.
Bwuhahaha. Sorry I had to. I had to.
Anyway I forgot to mention, but the pics make this episode look good. But fancy animation, isn't going to change how dislike how things.....ooh pretty colors, it's rainbow *claws at it*....is not going change how I dislike what's going on!!!
Where can I see this episode. give me a link or Pm

6th Circuit's Narrow Definition of 'Supervisor' Under the NLRA has Broad Implications
In a political environment that is broadening the National Labor Relations Board's power, a federal court's recent narrowing of the definition of "supervisor" is a big win for employers.
In Vance v. Ball St. Univ., the U.S. Supreme Court held that for purposes of vicarious liability for harassment under Title VII, a supervisor must have taken a tangible employment action (i.e., hiring, firing, failing to promote, reassignment with significantly different responsibilities, or a decision causing a significant change in benefits) against the victim.
In footnote 7 to the opinion, the Court noted that the meaning of supervisor can vary depending on the federal statute being applied:
Petitioner argues that the NLRA's definition supports her position in this case to the extent that it encompasses employees who have the ability to direct or assign work to subordinates.... The NLRA certainly appears to define "supervisor" in broad terms. The National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) and the lower courts, however, have consistently explained that supervisory authority is not trivial or insignificant: If the term "supervisor" is construed too broadly, then employees who are deemed to be supervisors will be denied rights that the NLRA was intended to protect.
Indeed, the National Labor Relations Act applies a less strenuous definition than Title VII to determine supervisors status. The question is how much less strenuous.
In GGNSC Springfield LLC v. NLRB (7/2/13), the 6th Circuit concluded that charge nurses who have the authority to exercise their independent judgment to discipline subordinate employees are supervisors under the NLRA. In reaching this conclusion, the 6th Circuit rejected the Board's argument that the power to discipline must involve an immediate suspension, termination, or other employment action:
The Board's position on discipline is essentially that, to be considered "discipline," the employee must suffer some immediate adverse employment action as a result of receiving an employee memorandum, such as suspension or termination, and because RN charge nurses cannot suspend or terminate a CNA's employment unilaterally, they lack authority to discipline.... The term discipline must capture something less....
Generally, where an employer maintains a defined progressive discipline policy, and cited violations of company policy count toward the number of missteps permitted before termination, those with independent authority to issue the citations are supervisors....
The larger question is whether the RNs must consult with a superior and obtain approval before issuing a memorandum; if they must, their judgment is unlikely "independent." The record shows that consultation and approval is neither required nor typical.
Thus, as a general rule, an employee who possesses sufficient authority to issue any disciplinary action (even warnings that could lead to later suspension or termination) without consulting with a superior, qualifies as a "supervisor" under the NLRA. The immediate decision need not result in a tangible employment action.
Make no mistake, this holding is significant. The NLRA does not cover or protect "supervisors." Given the scope of the NLRA's current agenda to further employees' rights to engage in protected concerted activity, broadening the scope of who qualifies as a supervisor removes those employees from the Act's protections. Thus, for example, a "supervisor" fired for complaining on Facebook about wages, benefits, or other goings-on in the workplace cannot claim that the termination violated the NLRA's prohibitions against adverse actions for engaging in protected concerted activity.
In a political environment that is broadening the NLRB's power, GGNSC Springfield's narrowing of the definition of "supervisor" is a big win for employers.

Don't worry though, we have a lot more Mountain 29" Tubeless Tires in stock than that.View Similar Products
Schwalbe Racing Ralph TL Ready Tire - 29in $0.00
Although Schwalbe's Racing Ralph TL Ready 29in Tire places a focus on durability, it's fast enough to fool you into thinking that you're on Furious Freds. Yet, in comparison to the Rocket Ron, the Racing Ralph's tread pattern is better suited for flat-out speed. So, you gain a longer shelf life and greater speed at the price of a little less grip -- a small price to pay in our book.
The real secret to creating the Racing Ralph is Schwalbe's Pacestar Triple rubber compound. Essentially, PaceStar places harder rubber down the center line, making for faster rolling and improved wear life. Meanwhile, the side knobs receive a softer rubber compound, improving cornering traction by increasing flexibility. In essence, you get the speed of a harder compound tire, mated to the cornering grip of a softer tire. This means that you get the benefits of both rubber compounds, without suffering from the drawbacks of either. This is due in part to the soft rubber compound, but also in part to the 'U-shaped' tread blocks on the shoulders.
These tread blocks are angled around 20 degrees towards the outside of the tire, with siping that doesn't quite divide the block. These siped U-Blocks fairly malleable, meaning that they're able to mold over a trail surface. So, in other words, they work to counteract the lateral forces that you experience when you're cornering hard.
The tire is designed to be tubeless ready (TL), and as you may have guessed, the tubeless designation means that these are optimized for a tubeless setup. But, you are able to run them with tubes if that's your preference. By 'Tubeless Ready,' Schwalbe means that the bead hook on this tire is enlarged. Why does this matter? Well, it makes seating the tire to a tubeless rim a whole lot easier. Which, if you've ever ended up covered in tire-sealant after trying to seat a stubborn tire, will be a welcome improvement.
The Schwalbe Racing Ralph TL Ready 29in Tire is available in the color Black and in either a 2.10- and 2.25-inch width

29er Bliss
Love these tires.
too fragile for me
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
I like the grip and the weight of the tire but on my first ride I had a puncture in the middle of the tread from a rock. on the second ride I had 1cm slice in the side wall. I may give them another chance with the snake skin but never again without.
Great Tire
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
This is a competition race tire. It is meant for racing, but it is more durable than the Rocket Ron or other super light race tires. So although it is light, it isn't ultralight. I love the tread pattern and it grips well on a variety of surfaces, and very fast. It isn't a great mud tire, but that isn't what this tire is for. (It is rare to be racing in mud). They do make a snakeskin version of this tire if you want more durability, but of course it adds some weight. I did have one puncture that wouldn't seal using this tire during a race in Park City last year, but it wasn't on a sidewall so I'm not sure the snakeskin version would have prevented this (I just impaled the front tire on a ridiculously knife-sharp like rock). I usually go through a set of these tires about every 3-4 months, and that is riding 2-4 times a week for about 1.5 hours.
Nice tire.
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
I know the tire rides well based on reviews from several of my friends that use it. I also know that it will wear somewhat quickly but that is the price you pay for traction. I was pleased that it mounted and sealed tubeless very easily (which isn't always the case with some tires). One shot with the compressor and it popped right onto the rim and sealed immediately. It's a little pricy but I guess it is worth it.
Not for entertainment!!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I think this are great for competition, but are very soft so if you're a fan of Schwalbe, you'll need to buy a new tire soon!!
Great as a front tire
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Schwalbes are my favorite tires, however, they're fragile and as a rear tire wear quickly. The 2.25 is my go to size for the front, ran it as a rear for a little more cushion at less PSI. Be sure to keep it topped off with the sealant of your choice, as it seems to dry out much faster in these tires than other brands I have tried.
Not a fan
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
They are great race tires but very soft. I went through 6 sets this season and only one set of Fast Traks last season. My fault for buying them so many times. Run the Maxxis Ikon or Fast Trak for XC racing and even training.
Schwalbe racing Ralph TL 29
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
These were my go to tires for the last 2 years. Light weight, tubeless ready, great rollers and very compliant with the terrain. About a year ago I started cutting the center tread of the tire so bad the sealant wouldn't work. This happened at least 4 times. Currently trying out the Continental x king. Supposedly has more flat protection. That's just my experience ....

Everyone was awkward and cheesy in the '90s, even perfect fashion sparkle person Victoria Beckham. We know this because of her mid-late '90s body of work with The Spice Girls, but did you know that Victoria Beckham (née Adams) was alive in the early '90s, as well? Retronaut recently unearthed a whole bunch of glamor shots from 1992, when she was but an 18-year-old aspiring model and dancer. Here are the ten best (i.e. funniest) ones.

An adventure in Tempe
Editor's note – This entry is by Dave Holtzman, Director of Media Relations for the Royals. Follow 'Holtzy' on Twitter, ( @HoltzyRoyals ) where he has regular insight on the Royals and the occasional post about his alma mater's basketball team (clue – Dave's dog is named Naismith).
This blog is not really baseball related, but hang with me. I think it's an entertaining story nonetheless.
I dropped my family off at the airport this morning (one of the worst feelings in the world is walking away from my wife and 2-year old son as they get into that security line), looked at my phone and realized it was just 8 a.m. Now for those unfamiliar with Phoenix, the airport is only about a five minute drive from Phoenix Municipal Stadium, where the Royals will take on the A's this afternoon at 3:05 p.m. KC time. Surprise, on the other hand, is about 45 minutes from the airport (in the opposite direction from Phoenix Muni). So, I had about two or so hours to kill around the Phoenix/Tempe area.
I decided to drive over to downtown Tempe and the Mill Avenue District. This is a great area right next to the Arizona State campus with restaurants, bars, shops, etc. Kind of reminds me of wonderful Mass Street in Lawrence, Kan. (Rock chalk!). After a donut and some decaf coffee, I still had an hour and a half until I needed to be at the ballpark.
I wandered toward the ASU campus and Sun Devil Stadium, but a large mountain caught my eye. Those familiar with football invariably has seen this mountain in many aerial shots of Sun Devil Stadium over the years. I walked up to the base of the mountain and read the sign:
Hayden Butte Preserve
Leonard Monti Trail
Summit 1495′
Something to think about here: I was dressed in work attire. We are a bit more casual in Spring Training, but not too much. I had on khaki pants, a black, Royals polo and, thankfully, tennis shoes. Without the tennis shoes, I wouldn't even have considered the hike.
So, I began up the dirt and rock trail. Once I reached a point about two-thirds up, the incline greatly increased and I realized I couldn't go any further without breaking a serious sweat and stinking up the entire press box the rest of the day. At this point, I took some photos which you can see here:
– A look up at the summit of the mountain with a large "A" in gold and maroon in support of the Sun Devils.
– The trail map sign showing where I started from (the circle on the bottom of the photo in the center) and where my climb ended (the big "you are here" arrow). I am not really sure what those two large circular buildings were to the right on the trail map.
– You get two-thirds of the way up the mountain before they have this nice informational sign about snakes. If it were me, I might put this sign at the trailhead so people deathly afraid of snakes can make the decision to walk the trail or not.
– Here's a shot of a cactus right off the trail. If you use your imagination a bit, the cactus seems to be in the shape of a "KC". Or perhaps a "KU", if you're so inclined.
– (Left) The view of downtown Tempe and Mill Avenue looking to the south and west
– (Right) The view of a portion of the Arizona State campus, looking to the south
– And finally, here's a shot I took looking at the sunrise. Nice, huh? (Just kidding! That's a file photo from my phone!)
After the hike, I drove to Phoenix Muni and am now settled in for the game. Kyle Davies is scheduled to take the mound for the Boys in Blue, who are now 5-3-1 this spring after yesterday's 12-3 win over the Angels, who, coincidentally, train in Tempe.

Lawrenceville, NJ (Sports Network) - Jordan Heath and Billy Baron led the way
with 17 points apiece as the Canisius Golden Griffins topped the Rider Broncs,
67-50, in a Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference showdown at Alumni Gym.
Heath also ripped down 13 rebounds, while Baron added nine boards and four
assists for Canisius (13-7, 6-3 MAAC), which has won three straight. Isaac
Sosa netted 12 points and Chris Manhertz chipped in 10 points and eight boards
for the Griffs.
The loss snapped a season-long five-game winning streak for Rider (11-10,
6-3), which saw only Tommy Pereira score in double figures with 11 points.
Canisius shot just 37.9 percent from the field in the first half, but Rider
was even worse at 32 percent, as the Griffs went into the break with a 27-24
Canisius' field goal efficiency shot up to 61.5 percent after intermission,
and it led by double-digits for nearly the entire second half.
The Griffs outrebounded the Broncs by a dominating 42-22 margin, which helped
them overcome 20-14 disadvantage in the turnover battle.

|A Randomized, Parallel Group, Double-Blind Study of Ticagrelor Compared With Aspirin for Prevention of Vascular Events in Patients Undergoing Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Operation TiCAB- Ticagrelor in CABG
|Brief Summary
|This study (TiCAB) is designed as a pivotal efficacy and safety study of Ticagrelor in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass operation. It is designed for the prevention of fatal and non-fatal cardiovascular events in this patient population, a significant, yet unmet medical need.
|Detailed Description
For stable patients who underwent coronary bypass operation, Aspirin alone currently represents the gold standard of antiplatelet treatment. A few smaller studies using a combination therapy of antiplatelet drugs including Aspirin and Clopidogrel have shown conflicting results. Albeit a number of cardiac surgeons prefer dual antiplatelet therapy with Aspirin and Clopidogrel, Aspirin monotherapy is currently the only guideline recommended therapy after CABG.
A sub-analysis of PLATO trial comprising more than 1200 ACS patients who were not considered to be appropriately suited for PCI and therefore subjected to CABG operation demonstrated an impressive reduction in mortality in those patients treated with Ticagrelor and Aspirin as compared to Clopidogrel and Aspirin. Based on the unmet clinical need regarding optimal antiplatelet therapy after CABG, the results of the PLATO CABG substudy and the observation that Ticagrelor benefits increase with decreasing Aspirin doses, Ticagrelor monotherapy (2x 90mg/day) appears to offer the best balance of safety with anticipated improved efficacy over Aspirin alone. However, there are no data available to support this hypothesis.

I am trying out a side-by-side mounting scheme. So, now I have the C11 Edge and SW100ED mounted on an ADM side-by-side bar with a Losmandy saddle on one side and a dual saddle on the right. After adjusting the 100ED's position a bit I easily balanced the whole rig in RA, and also in DEC when the tubes are between roughly 30 degrees above the horizon. Below that and they start to drop off slowly. Is there likely to be any long term issue with this balance or should I keep working at it? Any ideas on how to make the DEC balance better?

Assos suisseOlympiakos Cap $0.00
Assos's new suisseOlympiakos Cap was created specifically for the Swiss team's participation last year in London's events. So, if you're a lover of all things Swiss and want to support the dedicated national team of riders who ride, train, and holiday under the Assos banner, reach for their cap of choice. More importantly, though, this group also tests and dictates Assos' technology and products. So, it's only fitting that a Cap bearing their name represents the utmost of Assos quality.
As the Swiss team's official cap, it features a comfortable three-panel design that's made from 100% cotton. And, in addition to this, the suisseOlympiakos is the hat design choice for Assos' in-house product testing team, Werksmannschaft, but in an alternate colorway. Accordingly, this cap has been through the ringer, and as a result, it's been fashioned to compliment the entire Swiss Cycling Federation kit, and to fit perfectly under a helmet. And, unlike most cycling caps, the equipeCampionissimo features an internal headband for maximum sweat absorption.
The equipeCampionissimo Cycling Cap is available in the color Suisse and is one-size-fits-most.

Great fit.
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I always wear a cycling cap under my helmet to help absorb sweat and protect against the sun. I have a 22 inch head circumference and it fits great. The colors have remained bright despite several washings.

In his sketchbook, Cyrus Highsmith experimented, developing a sanserif version of his slabserif Dispatch. As he drew strokes and counters, he realized that he had an original family with its own strong character, not just a sanserif partner for Dispatch. Art Director David Schlow chose Stainless for Premiere magazine; Highsmith designed three display weights: Ultra Thin, Thin, and Ultra Light; the italics were added later; FB 2002–07
Among other uses, Stainless is recommended for Newspaper, Magazine, Book and Corporate use.

Baby Conway is here!
September 23, 2008 by Rob
Filed under Rob Conway
After cooking in momma's belly for a very long 9 months, our new baby boy arrived this past Saturday, the 20th at 5:42am. Caleb Dean Conway came into the world at a very hefty 8lbs 7oz and 21 inches. We were so glad because we were beginning to wonder if he was getting too comfortable in there. We learned there are actually Castor Oil recipes to help it go down easier (drizzle over ice cream, for instance)…fortunately, it never came to that! I was personally hoping he'd come on my birthday (the 16th) but I suppose it's good he gets his own day anyway.
Thank you to everyone for their prayers and support!! We are so blessed by this new little one. Even our 2 year-old, Ben, is taking it in stride (that's a real answer to prayer!).

Long Island's art scene
< Previous page 1 2 3 4
(Page 4 of 4)
In that Axinn Library gallery, the museum offers "The Lyon, the Which, and the Warhol," which remains on view through May 19. Here, culled from the museum's extensive photography collection, visitors can see photos by photojournalist Danny Lyons and pop icon Andy Warhol juxtaposed with works by other photographers and artists in various mediums.
This exhibit, curated by the museum's collections manager Kristy L. Caratzola, contextually links Lyons' and Warhol's photographs and Polaroids to such artists as Chuck Close, Jim Dine, and Lisbeth Firmin (the "Which."). According to Levinthal, "The Lyon, the Which, and the Warhol encourages viewers to consider how artists employ portraiture and physical presence as well as other tools to break the barriers of societal stereotypes."
Hofstra's MFA creative writing students will share their original post-modern poetry inspired by works in the exhibition in a program titled "Warhol and Writings: Post-Modern and Existential Poetry Reading," on April 29, at 7 p.m. This reading is free and open to the public.
The works of Faith Ringgold at Molloy College
The acclaimed African-American artist Faith Ringgold – best known for her painted story quilts – is the subject of an in-depth study at Molloy College's Kaiser Art Gallery..
The exhibit, which opened in February and has been extended through March 28, focuses on "Tar Beach" and "The Sunflower Quilting Bee at Arles." It features Ringgold's prints and accompanying materials relating to her life and career as an artist, author and activist.

371ci Mopar Small Block - Deadly WeaponWritten by on August 1, 2012 Contributors: Johnny Hunkins SKMFX builds a budget iron-headed 510hp small-block Mopar
Maximizing bang for the buck comes down to making the most of a given combination of parts. When it's done right, the engine will throw down power numbers that belie its modest parts list, packing a heavyweight punch in an unassuming package. This small-block Mopar from SKMFX Engines is a testament to that ideal, with righteous output from commonplace parts. This engine was built for competition in the Street Division of our annual engine building competition, the AMSOIL Engine Masters Challenge. Jesse Robinson and his teammates from SKMFX Engines assembled this bullet as a backup engine to compete in place of their big-block, which was held up by part delivery delays. The stout output from this very basic production-based combination was impressive.
Basic Bottom End
SKMFX started with an ordinary production "LA-Series" Mopar 360 block, and proceeded with a bottom end build that would be typical of any budget street effort. The block received basic prep, including a .060-inch overbore, line honing, and decking. Robinson also added a short fill to the water jackets: "I'm a big believer in the short fill, and I like what it does to the water and oil temperatures. The exposed cylinder ends up at about 4 inches, and it stiffens the cylinder walls considerably," Robinson says. The block also had the main oil feeds enlarged to 9⁄32 inch, but was otherwise stock in terms of the lubrication system.
Filling the block is a rotating assembly based on the stock 360's 3.58-inch stroke. Rather than using the stock cast-iron crank, Robinson selected an Eagle 4340 steel crank. "This crankshaft is a good value for the price at under $600," he says. "One of the major hiccups with the 360 is the external balance. A few years ago, I had a stock 360 crank internally balanced and it cost as much as this Eagle crank because it took six slugs of Mallory metal to balance it. At that point it makes sense to move to the steel." The rods are a set of Scat I-beams in the stock 6.123-inch length. Robinson explains this choice: "I don't like the H-beams for many applications; they are just too heavy. These Scat I-beams are just a beautiful set of connecting rods, and a great value for the money." Filling the cylinders is a set of KB Icon pistons and Perfect Circle rings. The internal parts combination seemed to follow the theme of budget-oriented replacement parts that are proven durable in a high-output application.
Topping It For Power
A similar approach followed up to the top of the engine with the EngineQuest Iron Magnum 318B cylinder heads. These heads are designed as production replacement units for the OEM Mopar Magnum heads, but are revised with the earlier "LA-Series" intake manifold bolt angle. The castings are significantly improved compared to the factory units with both durability and performance in mind. Robinson's experience with the EngineQuest cylinder heads has been overwhelmingly positive: "I started using EQ heads on Chevrolets, using their Vortec heads on 350 and 383 Chevys, and the results were never disappointing. I started to experiment with the Dodge heads, and again they produce very good power."
The EQ heads on this particular engine were the subject of considerable development work at SKMFX. Robinson explains: "I got to work pretty extensively in the cylinder heads. I got away from the factory 8mm stem valves, and went to 11⁄32-inch because it opens up far more selection in off-the-shelf valves. I went with Manley Severe Duty intake valves in a 2.08-inch diameter, with a 5.250-inch length. A part of the puzzle that predicated how I built the heads was coming across a set of secondhand unused T&D rockers. I put the bedplate on the Magnum pedestals, and selected the valve length to best suit the geometry with the rockers. These EQ cylinder heads are nice to work with, having plenty of metal for porting. I put them on the CNC mill and wrote a program to open the bowl out to a venturi shape, and with this mod alone the port went to 273 cfm. I put the valve job on it and hand-blended the machine work, and then put it on the CNC again to open up the intake side of the port. After hand-finishing the port work and many trips from the cutting bench to the flow bench, I ended up with 300 cfm at .600-inch lift."
On the camshaft, the custom COMP hydraulic roller cam actually uses slightly less duration on the exhaust side than on the intake. Part of this is because of the very high exhaust flow from the EQ heads. "The exhaust side has very high flow; it can get to around the 200-cfm level with very little work. I found on the other EQ head builds and the W2 head builds I've done in the past, that I'm over-exhausting the engines. My VE numbers will be over 100 percent from the bottom of the pulls to the top, and the power doesn't really correspond with those kinds of efficiency numbers, so I'm led to believe that I'm blowing everything out the exhaust. I took one stab at the camshaft, and I don't think I was too far off the mark, since on my dyno the engine was producing over 510 lb-ft of torque at the peak." The cam features 246/244 degrees duration, using the more aggressive COMP SPTK lobes on the intake side, and the milder HRR lobes on the exhaust. Lift is .648 inch with the 1.5:1 ratio rockers, while the lobe separation angle is 106 degrees. The cam was installed at an intake centerline angle of 102 degrees.
The engine uses a Weiand X-celerator intake manifold, but Robinson tells us that he thinks there was room for improvement in the induction. "It was the only manifold I had at the time, and I figured I would just put it on if the output looks like it is within reason. I had the heads flowing around 300 cfm, and with the intake on it the intake port flow dropped to around 230 cfm. I experimented with custom runner extensions in the plenum, but they ended up hurting power everywhere. I actually cut them back out, and put in much more conservative extensions." Topping the manifold is a Holley 750 HP. Robinson spoke highly of this unit: "What can I say about the Holley HPs? The 750 HP seems to be the one to buy if you want to have just a spectacular carburetor out of the box. I did not modify it; I just calibrated the air bleeds and jetting."
Taking advantage of a production oddity, the engine is fitted with a factory Chrysler Lean-Burn distributor. These distributors featured no advance curve or vacuum advance. As Robinson puts it: "Coupling the locked-out production distributor with the programmable curve of a MSD 6AL2, is a match made in heaven." Rounding out the engine package is a pair of Schoenfeld stepped headers with 1⅝- to 1¾-inch primary tubes. Up front, a CAT crankshaft damper handles the vibes, while a custom billet water pump housing crafted at SKMFX accepts a Moroso big-block Mopar electric water pump.
At the AMSOIL Engine Masters Challenge, Robinson and the SKMFX team put on a very respectable performance with their budget combination, showing a peak of 515 hp in qualifying with their stock-stroke iron-headed Mopar, while running on VP100 fuel. What was even more impressive was the very fat torque curve, exhibiting over 400 lb-ft at just 2,500 rpm, with max torque swelling to 495 lb-ft at a 4,800-rpm peak. These would be decent numbers for a mildly built stroker combination, and the output is exceptional for an engine with production-style heads. As Robinson explained: "I've done a few stroker 408s, and you need a lot of cylinder head for that engine. Most guys don't have that budget, and with budget cylinder heads I like the power curve of the smaller stock-stroke engines." Thinking about how sweet an engine with this power curve would run on the street, we can't argue with that point.
Heads For Power
EngineQuest Magnum Heads
The EngineQuest (EQ) cast-iron Magnum cylinder head is an iron replacement head that delivers a surprising punch at an affordable price. These heads offer an improved alternative to stock with better flowing intake and exhaust ports for enhanced horsepower and torque. The castings feature a 172cc intake runner volume, with 62cc combustion chambers. The heads are cast in Australia, using a casting technique that produces an exceptionally smooth port surface for more flow and power. Used in box-stock form, these heads offer superior quality at an affordable price with no additional machining, porting, or polishing required.
The EQ Magnum cylinder heads are available for both the factory LA-series and later Magnum Mopar small-block engines. EQ's part number CH318B head is machined with the LA-series–style intake pattern, while EQ's part number CH318A features the vertical '92-04 Magnum intake pattern. Both cylinder heads are built to accept the OEM Magnum-style valvetrain and rockers.
Besides the improved ports and flow, EQ has improved on the factory Magnum design with a thicker deck for added strength, added hardened exhaust seats for greater resistance to cracking, and redesigned the water flow system for improved thermal conductivity. With CNC-machined guides and seats, a superior port finish for increased flow, and a three-angle valve seat, EQ's cylinder heads offer the best of both worlds—OE fit and greatly improved durability and performance. Each head is individually subjected to a rigorous 25-point inspection to ensure a quality product.

Robinson modified a stock windage tray by opening large drain backs, and then bonding screens in place with epoxy. Many small-block Mopar fans question the validity of a windage tray, however, Robinson related that he has seen substantial power gains with a tray in place.Oiling was handled by a Melling pump, with the pick-up relocated to the rotor cover. Robinson explains the move was primarily to ease making the custom oil pickup. The lubrication system is essentially stock, with the exception of opening up the oil passages to the mains.A custom COMP hydraulic roller cam works the valves, with more aggressive timing and lobes on the intake side. Cam specs were ground to 246/244-degree duration at .050, with .646-inch lift. A tight lobe separation angle of 106 degrees promotes torque.A secondhand set of T&D rockers were mocked-up on the EQ heads, and the geometry was optimized with custom 5.250-inch length valves measuring 2.08 inches in diameter. This arrangement bolts to the stock Magnum-style pedestals, though the fasteners are upgraded to ⅜-inch diameter rather than the OEM 5⁄16-inch dimension.Providing for pushrod clearance required substantial clearancing of the valve cover rails at the intake side of the head. The pushrods are Trend units, which Robinson praises for their minimal deflection.Due to clearance issues with the rockers and pushrods, standard small-block Mopar valve covers could not be used. These fabricated aluminum covers were sourced from an eBay vendor, and feature an internal rail design for increased clearance.A Weiand 7545 single-plane intake manifold was heavily modified with porting. Robinson experimented with different runner extension configurations and found that their form had a substantial effect on the power curve.Sandwiched between the carb and intake is a Wilson tapered spacer. Robinson finds this spacer configuration will typically show an overall improvement in mixture delivery, and thus power output.An off-the-shelf set of Schoenfeld Sprint Car headers handles the exhaust. The headers feature a stepped design, with 1⅝-inch primary tubes at the exhaust port stepping up to 1� inches. Note the crankcase evacuation system plumbed into the collectors. Interestingly, Robinson tells us on the dyno the evacuation system had a minimal influence on power.

Council Bluffs Man Sentenced For Stealing Copper
COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa (AP) - A 32-year-old western Iowa man has been given 37 months in prison for his role in a conspiracy to steal copper from center pivot irrigation systems.
Federal prosecutors say Jonathan Campbell was sentenced on Tuesday. He'd pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit interstate transport of stolen property. Campbell was ordered to pay more than
$174,000 in restitution.
Copper control cables were stolen from farms ranging from Sioux City south to near St. Joseph, Mo., from late 2009 until summer 2010. Prosecutors say the cable was sold to a salvage yard in
Omaha, Neb., on at least 73 occasions.
Two other Council Bluffs men involved have been sentenced already. Thirty-five-year old Charles Nichols was given 31 months, and 30-year-old Joseph Falknor was given 12 months and a day.
Pork Producers Convene In Des Moines
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - Some of Iowa's top pork producers are meeting to talk about their product.
The Iowa Pork Producers Association meets Thursday in Des Moines to conclude its annual Iowa Pork Congress. The event features a trade show with 275 exhibitors from the U.S. and abroad.
The event, which began Wednesday, will feature a dozen free business seminars and training sessions for producers.
Several top producers from surrounding Midwest states also are expected to attend.
The association says the pork industry contributes nearly $5 billion annually to Iowa's economy.
Des Moines To Evict Homeless From Camps
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - Des Moines is evicting homeless people from three informal camps downtown, but it's unclear whether the people will find space in crowded shelters.
City zoning administrator SueAnn Donovan says the city wants the homeless to move indoors to escape this week's bitter winter cold. Donovan says "the emphasis is on making everyone safe."
But Ken Dohmen with Central Iowa Shelter and Services says it will be tough to persuade homeless people to leave their camps for already overcrowded shelters.
Dohmen says he thinks the city's intentions are good but says the homeless people he's talked to likely will just move to a different spot outdoors.
The 10-day eviction notices were posted Jan. 17.
Cable Show To Feature Missing News Anchor Story

Egg Muffins Revisited
13 comments:
These Egg Muffins are perfect for folks eating gluten-free! I'm going to make some of the green chile muffins. :-) Excellent!ReplyDelete
I *love* the silicone molds. I got a set for Christmas that has several shapes. They're also fantastic for really moist cakes and loaf-pan breads. Your muffins look delicious.ReplyDelete
Wow! These look awesome! I'm hooked. How well do they keep? I'm thinking lunchbox item.ReplyDelete
Those egg muffins look yummy. I usually hard-boil eggs on the weekend to get me through the week, but I may have to try those.ReplyDelete
I also love my silicone pan. And the best part is, if something does need to be scrubbed out of the pan a little, just turn the cup inside out and it's really easy to get at!
I love silicone too. I just bought some silicone cupcake "tins". Your egg muffins look delicious. Do they taste really eggy? I'm not a big fan of eggs but those really look great. Especially with cheese!ReplyDelete
I am so glad you guys are not completely sick of me posting about egg muffins. They really are delish. Catherine, I do think they would keep in a lunchbox just fine. They are best heated though, so I would nuke them for 2-3 minutes before you eat them. Gourmetish, I really don't think they are all that eggy. In fact, the way I make them, they are about half cheese.ReplyDelete
I think I'll have to try some of these egg muffins soon.ReplyDelete
There were a whole lot of cheese sandwiches last week, weren't there?
Here we go again. I just spent over $200 on Foodsaver stuff, and now I have to go back to the store for silicone pans. Stop it! You're killing me!ReplyDelete
Just kidding. I've seen them, but hadn't thought I needed them. Maybe I do now.
Try the muffins with swiss cheese and asparagus! Yummmmmm.
By the way, do yours "give up" water when you microwave them after they've been frozen? I just squeeze 'em like a sponge to get the moisture out, but I was wondering if it's just my freezer or this is normal. Of course, now that I have a foodsaver, I can vacuum-pack my muffins, right?!
Cyndi is the second person who has asked me if the muffins are "waterey" after they've been frozen, and truthfully I haven't ever noticed this. I cook them until they are quite firm, and I also beat the eggs quite well when I mix them. When I microwave them I wrap a couple of paper towels around the muffins, and the towel is slightly damp when I take them out of the microwave, so I wonder if that is what you guys are referring to. I'm puzzled. For sure mine are not so moist that I could squeeze water out like Cyndi is referring to. Anyone else noticed this?ReplyDelete
Cyndi, you will love the FoodSaver. Be sure to use it for cheese. The cheese will stay good in the refrigerator for months and months.
I used to make these all of the time and I froze them. They would give up a bit of moisture when reheated, not too much. I just added ham and cheese to mine.ReplyDelete
I'm going to put the next batch in Foodsaver bags. This batch was in regular ziploc bags; acquired so much water I literally sqeezed them like sponges to drain the water after they were cooked. But they are sooooo good.ReplyDelete
Thanks for the advice on the cheese. I have a cheese tray in my fridge that I've just tossed all the cheeses in--it's sort of like a drawer. Now I'm going to use one of my square canisters (I bought two) instead; and if DH gets cheese out during the day while I"m at work I can just vacuum it again each night. I don't want to use the bags. I keep my grated cheddar, which I buy in 5-lb. bags at Costco, in the freezer--it's fine that way. But the Foodsaver sounds like a great idea for all the rest.
Can you tell me how long the egg muffins last in the fridge? I was thinking 3 to 5 days...and then I was thinking maybe a whole week?ReplyDelete
The egg muffins will definitely last at least a week in the fridge. In this post on egg muffins I show how I keep them in individual plastic bags and reheat in the microwave each day (to eat in the car on the way to work!) I also have started using individual silicone baking cups, which is even a better way to make them, because you can keep them in a plastic container with the baking cup still on, then just pull out a couple to microwave. Hope you enjoy them!ReplyDelete

April is here and consistent warm temperatures aren�t far behind. With the arrival of warmer weather, our office tends to see a significant spike in phone calls, emails and samples regarding centipedegrass home lawns. Significantly, these concerns for the most part fall off the radar by mid June as growing conditions become optimal for centipedegrass and other warm season turf species.
Spring green up is a difficult process for centipedegrass. The root system essentially dies back and starts over with the onset of green up, and during this time the lawn can be very sensitive to herbicide and fertilizer applications.
One of our greatest concerns is the application of nitrogen-containing fertilizers during March through early May, a practice that can significantly increase the likelihood of problems with Rhizoctonia large patch. The safer approach is to delay fertilization until late May or early June, which reduces the likelihood of large patch and also ensures more efficient uptake of applied nutrients. Other factors that favor large patch include nitrogen applications in the fall, mowing too low, excessive thatch accumulations, poor drainage and excessive irrigation. Areas of the lawn that are severely compacted from foot traffic may also be more susceptible to large patch infection.
Centipedegrass is highly susceptible to large patch, and even if you do everything just right, you may still have problems. A wet, warm spring, for example, will result in more widespread occurrence of large patch. If large patch does occur on warm season turf, spring is not the optimal time to apply fungicides. The best approach is to wait until late summer or early fall, when soil temperatures have cooled. Labor Day and afterwards would be good timing.
It�s important to remember that scattered, irregular dead areas on the lawn during early spring don�t necessarily point to large patch, and in fact are probably the result of fluctuating temperatures during the winter and early spring. Cold hardiness of centipedegrass is compromised by exposure to even a day or two of warm weather. We saw temperatures at or below freezing on a number of occasions during the last couple of weeks of March, and the consequences will be evident on many local centipedegrass lawns during April and May.
If dead patches are not clearly organized into circles or semi-circles, suspect temperature damage and wait to see how things look as we move further into spring and late spring. To confirm large patch, consider submitting sod samples to your local Extension office. Suitable samples would be about six inches by six inches, a couple of inches deep to include some roots and soil, and taken right on the margin of healthy and damaged turf.
On Saturday April 20 at 10 a.m., our office will present a program on centipedegrass maintenance and problem solving. We�ll spend about an hour and a half covering the high points and trying to provide answers to any questions that come up. This event is free and open to the public, and no registration is needed ahead of time.
