Fi'zi:k K1 Donna Shoes $0.00
Triathlons require specific gear, and the struggle at T1 is a perfect example of when having the proper equipment comes to light. T1 is a popular source of videos that 'one sporters' like to snicker at due to the chaos caused by the incredible coordination and balance required to put on cycling shoes while mounting the bicycle. Fi'zi:k's Italian, handmade K1 Donna Shoes are designed to ease this burden.
At the uppers, Fi'zi:k used a material that we don't see in use very often with cycling shoes -- neoprene. We know what you're thinking, how hot is it inside these shoes? The answer? Not hot at all. In fact, aside from the ample perforation and ventilation panels, this material is highly breathable. It was used over the Fi'zi:k-standard, Microtex, for its water-resistance and ease-of-entry with wet feet. So, your transition from sea to land won't be slippery.
To further control slippage, the K1 Donna has shaped the heel cup at the aft position of the shoe. This feature keeps the foot in the perfect position on hard up-strokes and while climbing out of the saddle. As a result, you're powering the pedals comfortably and efficiently. This has been further heightened by Fi'zi:k's variable stiffness sole construction, called 3D Flex Carbon. The base is comprised of an ultra-stiff carbon fiber plate, with second layer being positioned closer to the heel. This layer is constructed from a material called Tepex that's a little more malleable than the carbon fiber in order to accommodate and support multiple heel and arch sizes. Together, the multiple layers work hand-in-hand with the insole and upper to keep the heel in place and to maximize comfort. And even better for triathletes, the outsole has been design to allow a good deal of lateral flex. So, your feet will experience less fatigue, maximizing your run potential after T2.
And on the subject of the K1's comfort, Fi'zi:k has gone to another level with its 3D Flex Insole design. This insole is heat moldable and fully customizable for the three areas of the foot -- the longitudinal arch, metatarsal button, and the heel cup. To develop this, Fi'zi:k teamed up with Sidas Technologies of France for the design process, and three materials were decided upon. At the metatarsal and longitudinal arches, the insole features the Podiaflex material. Podiaflex was selected for the arch, because its highly moldable properties allow it to perfectly support and conform to your arches. To absorb road vibration and chatter, Fi'zi:k placed Ortholite along the pedal axle portion of the insole. This material is a low-rebound foam and has been cut to the average size of pedal. Having this in place nearly eliminates the numbness generated from long miles clipped-in on the road. Finally, encompassing the heel cup, we the solid and supportive, thermoplastic known as Transflux. Working as a system, we see that the 3D Flex design evenly distributes pressure on the foot, or as Fi'zi:k says, 'the insole is supportive, not corrective or obtrusive.
For fit, Fi'zi:k incorporated a one-strap closure system, mated with a 'burrito-wrap' upper. What does this mean? Well, the K1 features an opening that runs over nearly the entire top of the shoe. The burrito analogy is drawn from the K1's upper construction where one layer of the upper wraps over the other. This allows you to really dial in the volume of the shoe, whether it be for training or on-the-fly during a race. For your T1 transitions, the two-strap closure system is a breeze. The large top strap opens away from the drivetrain to allow a quick and seamless securing of the shoe. As for the bottom strap, you'll find that this is used less for transitions, and more left alone once you've established your desired volume and fit. However, the gripper tabs placement on the strap simplifies any adjustments that you might need to make from the saddle. To really speed up T1, Sidi has also included a durable pull-tab at the heel.
The Fi'zi:k K1 Donna Shoes are available in the color White/violet/orange and in whole and half sizes ranging from 37.0 to 43.0. Please note that these shoes are only immediately compatible with standard three-hole cleat systems.

Timothy D. Dillard, Advisor
Office: 200 Clark Hall
While students planning careers in law may pursue a wide variety of undergraduate programs of study, a broad liberal arts education is considered an ideal preparation for the study of law. In the College of Arts and Sciences, prelaw students obtain this through required and elective courses that provide breadth and emphasize critical thinking, and through the selection of a major and minor that give intellectual depth. Because there is no single prelaw curriculum, careful academic planning with an advisor is very important.
Strongly recommended coursework for freshmen and sophomores interested in law includes English composition, English and American literature, American government and general political science courses, principles of economics, principles of accounting, and American history. Also recommended are appropriate courses in philosophy (logic and ethics), English history, political theory, psychology, sociology, and mathematics. Students are urged to select courses that stress the development of oral communication, writing skills, and critical thinking.
Each individual student should consult with an advisor when planning the specific details for a prelaw program of study. However, a typical program for the first two years follows:
When ready to select a major or minor, the prelaw student is advised to choose a major and minor in fields of study found to be personally fulfilling, and to select courses that ensure a broad liberal education. These choices are best made if the student's first two years of undergraduate study are planned systematically to provide a broad acquaintance with recommended areas of study. The second two years of study provide opportunity for advanced work in major and minor subjects and continued development of a broad liberal arts background.
Most law schools base admission on undergraduate academic performance and on scores on the Law School Admission Test (LSAT). The test is administered at least four times a year but normally should be taken in the first semester of the final year of undergraduate study. Since admission to professional schools is highly competitive, students should be aware that satisfactory completion of preprofessional requirements does not guarantee admission to professional schools. Therefore, students are advised to plan undergraduate course programs with some attention to alternative career goals.

Paris: The NCAA's reputation takes one hit after another
The heart-tugging musical score which accompanies the overhead shot of the glistening basketball court. The dramatic stories leading to tip off. The clue that something special is here, and aren't we lucky to be part of it?
Yes, and I can't wait for the Final Four either.
No, and when will those letters, NCAA, stop turning our stomachs?
The grand finale of a thrilling NCAA Tournament inches closes to its conclusion Saturday with heavyweights Michigan and Syracuse tangling, after upstart Wichita State brings a slingshot against favored Louisville.
The winners head to Monday's title game, and please join the NCAA as it celebrates its 75th tournament year.
Or not.
While the basketball is compelling, off the court the NCAA is fouling out. While the competition is grand, the adults overseeing it are grossly negligent.
And you thought the NCAA being cast in an uncomfortable light would diminish once the Penn State-Jerry Sandusky debacle passed?
No such luck, and how about the unfortunate week that was for the NCAA power brokers?
While they push your vision toward the "student-athletes'' don't overlook the pull of your integrity. Don't forget college is about getting an education, and not accepting handouts or looking the other way.
What, your head was buried so deep in your beloved bracket you put common sense on hold? Were you too busy crossing out losing picks that you didn't focus on the losers representing the NCAA?
Sorry to spike the NCAA Tournament punch bowl with a sour substance, but something is amiss. The NCAA won't say it, but that doesn't stop reasonable minds from wondering what the hell is going on?
Rutgers basketball coach Mike Rice – thankfully, ex-basketball coach Mike Rice – is exposed by a video that is nearly as unsettling as replays of Louisville guard Kevin Ware's shattered leg.
Rice is repeatedly seen abusing his players in practices – if you think that is innovative coaching, you can stop reading now – with behavior bordering on psychotic.
For Rice to push, shove, grab and heave basketballs at defenseless students should not only be prohibited, but against the law. Assault is assault no matter the circumstances.
So Rice gets canned and his assistant, walks away. But where were the other authoritative figures these parents entrusted regarding the well-being of their children? Reports of the Rutgers school president and athletic director reviewing this video months ago, and not giving Rice two thumbs down – Roger Ebert, RIP – is appalling.
Then there is the Pac-12's Ed Rush, its esteemed director of officiating. The former NBA referee placed a bounty on testy Arizona coach Sean Miller, offering $5,000 or a Cancun vacation if someone slapped him with a technical during the conference tournament.
It was just a joke, Pac-12 Commissioner Larry Scott tried to explain away, instead of taking Rush to the wood shed.
UCLA recently introduced Steve Alford, its new basketball coach, but not the 2002 tale of his questionable judgment. While at Iowa, Alford defended a star player accused of rape; the player was later convicted of sexual assault in 2005 against another victim and served time.
Alford's reputation took a hit, despite his argument that he was following advice from school officials.
How about Auburn football, which again adds credence to what the SEC stands for – Sure Everyone Cheats.
Players from the Tigers' 2010 national championship team, the one quarterback Cam Newton led despite whispers of payoffs, were getting paid. It seems high-fives with some fans came with a fistful of dough.
So school presidents, athletic directors and coaches are revealing a blind eye. At least the NCAA President Mark Emmert is clean, or is he?

Hi All,
I have set up pre-auth for my application, but for some reason I am not getting the correct authentication token back in the cookie.
In my (java) application,
theURL passed in is a valid url with a generated pre-auth value such asCode:URL urlx = new URL(theURL); URLConnection uc = urlx.openConnection(); uc.connect(); String headerName=null; for (int i=1; (headerName = uc.getHeaderFieldKey(i))!=null; i++) { if (headerName.equals("Set-Cookie")) { String cookie = uc.getHeaderField(i); return cookie; } }
however the returned cookie value is ZM_TEST=true. There are not multiple values in the Set-Cookie parameter.
The most bizzare thing about this all is that if I enter that url above into a web browser I will get a cookie written, ZM_AUTH_TOKEN=0_69f61.....
Any ideas for this ZM_TEST cookie being returned in my application?

I'd say I miss him. But I don't, and I think everyone who watches college football would agree. Overrated coming in, never really became what he should have, and will likely go undrafted if he even sniffs at the NFL.
He really should have chosen Michigan with Rich Rod, would have been better for him, but I guess the pay wasn't the same as what Tressel and tOSU can offer.

He could still give the supplemental draft a try.
I would draft him as a WR, but definately not a QB

He has some serious character flaws. I am not sure if I was an NFL GM that I would want to invest much in a guy like him.
He can qb the team Clarett is playing for.

9.25 inch refractor project
Posted 16 January 2013 - 07:49 PM
I spent a lot of time polishing to try removing the turned edge but have seen it was not getting it done in a timely manner, I'd be polishing for hundreds of hours at the rate it was going. After popping off the flake on the flint , that pretty much cinched the decision to go back to fine grinding.

Last time I ground the R2 and R3 curves on the objective by crown on flint since they are the same curves. This time I am going to use the glass tools all the way on all the surfaces just in case i need to go back and fine grind again. I am also going to use them for support during polishing by using the silicone again. The edges will be taped to prevent grinding compound from getting between the support base and lens. The lens will be supported over its entirety that way in order to avoid the turned edge due to flexure.

As you grind, monitor both your radii and center thicknesses, and I can keep nudging the design back to optimum with ZEMAX as things change. Watch out to keep your wedge <0.001" on both elements.
Glad to help,
Posted 19 January 2013 - 03:06 PM
I'll be a lot more delicate with the lens materials this time around !
I printed out your program you ran for the different lens thicknesses and did some interpolating from that as to what values to get on the spherometer to keep the objective design on target. It turns out that it doesn't change much per .02 inches thickness change. The chip is 3/4 inch diameter. It really only affects the aesthetics of the lens more than anything but I am going to grind away on the flint anyway and get rid of most of if not all of the "oyster". It is the crown that has the turned edge and needs the fine grinding. The focal length was within .3 inches of what your program predicted and more careful control of the radii will get me closer this time. The color correction was excellent just the sharpness was off due to the turned edge.
Oh, and the edge thickness variation was less than .001 inches on both lenses.
Posted 20 January 2013 - 01:53 PM
Fortunately I have extra pieces of glass and I've already generated a replacement lens, lapped on side and getting ready to start on the second side.

Posted 21 January 2013 - 04:06 PM
I started the re-grinding process to help remove some of the chip and get back to a sphere on 3 of the 4 surfaces. The design is one where the R2 and R3 are equal in radius. Because I used the flint to grind on the crown from 120 grit on down, the glass tools for those 2 surfaces needed 120 grit to work them down to the final grit size. Therefore I had to start out with 120 grit on R2 and R3 even though it did not need to go that coarse for the purpose of getting rid of the turned edges. R1 was taken down to very fine so I do not need to go with 120 on it, I'll start with 320 grit there. The only 3 surfaces I am working are R1, R2 and R3. I know the crown was the lens element with the turned edges from testing with the flat. This time I will be using the glass tools as support on R1 and R2 to eliminate flexure.
Here is where I am at now after regrinding the flint R3. The edge chip has greatly diminished after .02 inches of glass thickness removed. The numbers on the edges are thousandths of inches variation in edge thickness. This now varies by .002 inches max. I'll take care of that in the 220 grit phase.

So now Mr. Mike Jones, my question to you is what should the different radii be with the flint at around .550 thickness and the crown at around 1 inch thickness ? Do you still have the data for this BK7 and F2 lens combination for the f/12 design (106.3 inch focal length)

Posted 21 January 2013 - 04:22 PM
Well - well - well, I finally got the melt data for the new BK7 glass. Are you ready Mike ? !
The new BK7 is listed as the following;
d-line = n,d/e 1.51660
V/de = 64.12
e-line = n,d/e 1.51852
V/de = 63.91
g line = 1.52649
F line = 1.52218
F' line = 1.52263
C line = 1.51412
C' line = 1.51452
The flint element is the same as before and so has not changed.
the flint is;
The F2 flint;
nd= 1.61966
ne= 1.62371
nF= 1.63172
nC= 1.61465
ng= 1.64167
Vd= 36.30
Ve= 36.04
Can you get me a new printout of the f/12 design as it relates to the new values Mike ? I will fabricate the objective to those and we will see how it turns out. I am excited to see how this all turns out. Thanks Mike for all your help !

The sphereometer has indicated that the radii are as close as possible to calculated values as they can get using the 1/10,000 inch marks.
The small chip in the flint is quite diminished in size now and will not be a factor in the mounted objectives light path in the scope. It is just a matter of being careful now not to ding them anymore !!! Polishing will commence in about a week after my Gugolz pitch comes in.

Drum of depleted uranium found at Florida airport
Published: Thursday, July 25, 2013 at 6:49 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, July 25, 2013 at 6:49 p.m.
MIAMI — Part of the Opa-locka Executive Airport in South Florida had to be temporarily evacuated after a 55-gallon drum containing depleted uranium aircraft parts was found.
Miami-Dade Fire Rescue spokesman Arnold Piedrahita Jr. reports that the unsealed drum was found Thursday near a dismantled plane at the airport. A hazmat team from Miami International Airport went to the site, but only minimal levels of radiation were detected.
Officials initially cleared a 150-foot perimeter around the drum, but that circle was later reduced to 5 feet.
Airport spokesman Marc Henderson said no flights were disrupted and the airport never closed.
Most depleted uranium is a byproduct of the production of enriched uranium, which is commonly used in nuclear reactors and weapons. It has significantly less radiation than natural uranium.

Monday Afternoon News, August 13
Oliver Pleads Not Guilty To Shooting and Other Charges
SIOUX CITY, Iowa (AP) - A 22-year-old Sioux City man suspected of shooting at two bicyclists in northwest Iowa has pleaded not guilty to drunken driving and other charges.
Authorities say Terry Oliver Jr. on Monday entered a written plea of not guilty to OWI, going armed with intent and two counts of misdemeanor assault with a firearm. A trial date hasn't been
The bicyclists reported that they were riding along Iowa Highway 12 near Stone State Park when the incident occurred Aug. 5. They say a vehicle slowed as it neared them and someone inside it
started shooting. They took cover in a ditch.
A suspect vehicle was stopped four miles north, and Oliver and Cesar Gonzalez were taken into custody after a brief foot chase.
Authorities say Gonzalez is a material witness.
USDA To Purchase Meat -- Assist Drought Striken Livestock Producers
WASHINGTON (AP) - The Agriculture Department will buy up to $170 million of pork, lamb, chicken and catfish to help drought-stricken farmers and ranchers.
USDA Secretary Tom Vilsack says the purchase for food banks and other federal food nutrition programs will help producers struggling with the high cost of feed.
The announcement comes as President Barack Obama campaigns in Iowa, where he criticized Republican vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan for blocking a farm bill that could help farmers cope
with the drought.
Obama has pledged a wide-ranging response to the worst drought in a quarter-century.
His administration is giving farmers and ranchers access to low-interest emergency loans, opening more federal land for grazing and distributing $30 million to get water to livestock.
Iowa Wants To Start Up Again The Movie Industry
CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa (AP) - Iowa is looking to restart its film industry after a scandal linked to a tax credit program shut down the state's film office and sent some people to jail.
The Gazette says the scene moves from the courtroom to the process of rebuilding an industry that has a long memory.
Wendol Jarvis served as film officer manager during Gov. Terry Branstad's previous four-term stint as governor. He says the fiasco was a mix of incompetency and greed that caused widespread damage. He says whatever course Iowa takes, the state must provide trust
and security.
Lawmakers appropriated $200,000 - half of what Branstad requested - when they voted last session to permanently end the tax credit program and keep the film office. There will be no
incentives when the office reopens.
Branstad Shows Ryan The Iowa State Fair
(Des Moines) -- Iowa Governor Terry Branstad will escort fellow Republican Paul Ryan around the Iowa State Fair today. Branstad says the Wisconsin congressman is a good pick by Mitt Romney as his running mate for vice president.
Listen to
Branstad has said in the past he prefers to see a governor become president and he says Romney fits that bill, while Ryan adds to the ticket.
Listen to
The governor was asked if he was being considered or ever contacted about being Romney's running mate.
Listen to
The governor made his comments at the weekly meeting with the media. He was also asked if he will take any action to prevent the use of state money to finance abortions in the cases of rape and incest.
Listen to
House Republicans had asked the Iowa Department of Human Services to eliminate Medicaid funding of abortions in cases of rape or incest, but D-H-S director Charles Palmer responded last week in a letter and said such a move would "violate federal funding requirements" and would "jeopardize all" the money the State of Iowa gets from the federal government to cover Medicaid expenses. Palmer said the state would lose over two-point-one-billion dollars in federal funding if he granted the request. House Republicans suggested the governor could take action, but Branstad says the legislature has to do something if this is what they want to do..
Listen to
Some House Republicans believe the budget bill passed by the legislature provides the legislative intent for the governor to take action. But Branstad says the bill has been thoroughly reviewed and the language is "very vague and there are many different interpretations of that."

ATHENS, Ga. -- For thousands of Georgia homeowners, the last four years have changed their lives.
Unable to pay or modify mortgages, many homeowners have faced foreclosure, eviction and in some cases, homelessness.
The numbers are staggering. One in every 430 Georgia homes is in foreclosure.
So our Help Desk asked you, our viewers, to let us know if we could help you to sort things out and keep you in your home.
RELATED | Mortgage help resources
We got more than 150 emails.
MORE | Tell us your mortgage woes story
One of them was from Athens homeowner Eddie May Evans, a senior citizen and retired special education teacher.
Today Eddie Mae Evans is in a war she never thought she would have to fight.
"I'm disabled and I just want to spend the rest of my days here at this home that I have been in for so long," she said.
Evans has raised two daughters and has lived in the same house in Athens for the last 40 years.
But after two hip replacements and months of rehab, her financial world started to crumble.
"The mortgage payment was so high and I had other bills that had to be paid so when I called the bank," she said. "I was behind in my payments."
She panicked, and with money already tight, she hired a financial advisor, paying him nearly $700.
What did she get in return?
According to her -- not one thing.
Now she faces the worst scenario, foreclosure.
"My biggest fear is where am I going to go if I lose my home," she said.
Not knowing where to turn, Evans sent us an email.
"I never thought you would answer me," she said. "I've tried everyone else and no one else has helped me."
"Oh God, you answered my prayer!" she said.
We immediately reached out to Bank of America to find a way and quickly, to keep Evans in her home.
In a few days, Evans got a call she did not expect.
"I just called to tell you that your modification has been approved and I said 'It has?'" Evans said with a broad smile.
"I'm excited," she said. "It's going to be a relief for me."
Evans will save $250 a month, taking her monthly payment down from $960 to $710.
She is grateful.
Do you plan to stay in your house?
"I plan to stay right here, I really do," Evans concluded with a big smile and sigh of relief.

News: Football Suffers Worst Defeat At Robinson Stadium
The Pasadena City College football team suffered the worst home loss in its 13-year history at Robinson Stadium as Cerritos College handed the Lancers their ninth straight defeat since last season, 65-13, Saturday night.
Pasadena remains winless in 2012 at 0-5 and 0-2 in SCFA National Northern Conference play. Cerritos (2-2, 1-0) amassed 522 total yards to just 221 by the Lancers. Cerritos quarterback Morgan Fennell torched the PCC secondary for four touchdowns, completing 10 of 14 passes for 194 yards. Running back Carlton Callaway added two TD runs.
The Lancers committed four turnovers. PCC trailed 24-0 before getting on the board thanks to a 10-yard touchdown run by Zach Sinclair with 1:35 left before halftime. Early in the fourth quarter, starting quarterback Zeek Julien rolled out and hit wide receiver Tairen Owens for a 28-yard TD pass for the Lancers' other score.
Owens, from Muir High, totaled 181 all-purpose yards. Owens pulled in eight receptions for 64 yards and had five kick returns for 121 yards, including a 45-yard jaunt. Pasadena's passing attack was limited to 102 yards (11-for-25). Julien completed 11-for-23 and rushed for 38 yards in 11 attempts.
Defensively, lineman Dalyou Pierson made a team-high eight tackles, including 1.5 sacks.
Twice, PCC converted first downs on fake punts. Punter Manny Meza raced 18 yards to extend a series in the first quarter. Running back Cameron Washington took a quick snap for a 12-yard first down carry on another fake punt in the fourth period.
Cerritos controlled the ball and the clock with 36 minutes of possession time. The Falcons scored all eight times they had the ball in the red zone.
Next Saturday, October 6, PCC will travel to face Golden West College. The teams play at the Rustlers' home at Orange Coast College's LeBard Stadium. Kickoff is 7 p.m.

Trey Hillman Media Session: April 10
As last night's success begins to resonate, Royals' manager Trey Hillman looks for the bullpen to gain confidence. The Royals were able to hold down an extremely potent Red Sox offense; eventually finishing with one of the game's top closers, Joakim Soria, securing the win in the ninth. Hillman was questioned on whether he feels his bullpen is beginning to settle into roles. He cited that last night's effort by all but three backend arms will go a long way into establishing more permanent roles. However, Hillman does not expect anything to be cemented for several weeks.
One specific late-inning arm that Hillman touched on was reliever John Parrish, who has been effective in limited action this year. One reporter asked Hillman if he saw more innings in Parrish's immediate future. Hillman stated that he could see Parrish being used multiple nights in a row as a situational pitcher used primarily against lefties. But with Parrish's career being slowed by injuries, the coaching staff must keep a watchful eye on the southpaw.
Hillman was also asked about several hitters that have yet to see significant playing time. Hillman responded that while he would like to get players like Mitch Maier and Mike Aviles in the mix; starters like Getz, Kendall, and Podsednik have shown such promise early this season that he does not want to break their rhythm and playing time will be decided upon a day-to-day basis.

CindySays: Heart disease is a real killer
CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Listen up, ladies. February is deserving of our attention.
It is Go Red for Women month, sponsored by the American Heart Association. This marks the 10th year of the movement to save women's lives from heart disease. There has been significant progress, but we still have a long way to go.
Did you know:
While we are just beginning to scratch the surface of why women are such a target of heart disease, it raises the question: Do you know where you stand with this killer?
What's on your radar?
Recently at a social event, I listened to a group of women having a serious discussion on home safety. It seems as though gun violence and home invasions have placed families on high alert lately. They spoke passionately about how they were making preparations in case such a terrifying situation ever presented itself.
Following the conversation, complete with details of gun purchases, sophisticated evacuation plans, gun safety classes, and a dedication of funds toward beefed-up home security, I drove home admiring their commitment to protecting their loved one's lives.
One every 60 seconds
This led me to look into the likelihood of a home invasion, and I was somewhat relieved when it produced words like "unlikely" and "uncommon." Then it struck me. The chance of a family losing their mother to heart disease was just the opposite.
In fact, heart disease poses the No. 1 risk of death for women in the United States, killing nearly half a million women each year. It is also the leading cause of disability as two-thirds fail to make a full recovery.
I wondered if these women were as committed to protecting their own bodies from heart disease -- something far more likely to strike them than a home invader.
Misconceptions abound
The American Heart Association's Go Red for Women movement advocates for more research and swifter action for women's heart health for this very reason. Let's clear up some of the myths women buy into so that we can lower our risk. See if you recognize any of these quotes:
A love affair
Heart disease loves us, ladies, so please don't buy into the myths. Take an active role in your health by staying a step ahead of this killer. If you smoke, find a program that will help you stop; if you are sedentary, adopt a regular exercise regimen; if you haven't thought about your diet, start paying attention to the foods you eat; and if you haven't had your numbers checked lately, make an appointment with your health-care provider to learn your blood pressure, cholesterol and weight.
Finally, in honor of American Heart Month, make it your goal to spread awareness about this important women's health issue by informing your social circles on how to minimize their risk of heart disease. It's certainly a conversation worth starting.

Just ran across this, thought some would be interested:
I like it! Very interesting
Hunters 1
Tree Huggers 0
WY, ID, and MT need to release 2 boar tags per year, 1 resident, 1 non-resident.
Plenty of grizzlies to allow 6 to be taken across 3 states, not to mention the $$$ revenue this would generate for $20 non-refundable just to apply for a tag.
Or heck even 1 tag per state, and put both residents and non-residents in the same pool.
It would be great to be able to hunt even 2 bears a year. I would like to see them take the average number of problem grizzlies they kill a year for each state. Then make that the quota for each year. I doubt that will happen though. It would just be nice to see the bears running away from a gunshot in the future rather than running to it like a dinner bell.
Sort of easy hunting. Shoot a tree, and wait for the bear to come to you.
They need to give out some tags around the Cody area. Absoroka, Shoesone are over populated with them and now the wolves...
Id have no prolem driving for 24 hours to bag a grizzly bedspread!
this will get shot down. something deff needs to happen though, we need to make these things scared of us, getting to dangerous out there, even for the seasoned sportsman. had 2 diff sets of grizz tracks at my bait sight this spring, a unit fish and game claims grizz hasnt habbited yet, think again.

Street Rodder / PPG Road Tour: Leg 1Written by on August 22, 2007 From Daytona Beach to Ocean City
The Total Performance leg kicked off the 2007 PPG / STREET RODDER Road Tour season with a fun-filled weekend in the Daytona Beach area on Saturday and Sunday, May 12-13. After gathering at Total Performances' showroom at Destination Daytona, the Road Tourians took a cruise over to A1A and made the 45-minute trip down to the historic Ponce de Leon Inlet Lighthouse, just south of Daytona Beach.
After a brief look at the famous lighthouse and surrounding buildings, we had a great lunch at the North Turn Restaurant in Ponce Inlet. Besides the fantastic view of the ocean, the restaurant is filled with photos and memorabilia from the 1950s. The original location of the restaurant was actually the north turn of the famous NASCAR beach track where the races were held before the Daytona Speedway was built in 1959. We traveled as a group from the North Turn Restaurant to the once-a-month cruise-in at New Smyrna. We were treated to a special parking area and enjoyed the pleasant afternoon. Many thanks to Carroll Hamilton of Total Performance for putting together a great day of fun in the Florida sun.
On Sunday, we gathered again at the Total Performance shop at Destination Daytona for a 90-mile trip to Ocala and a visit to the Don Garlits Museum of Drag Racing. For those who have not made a stop at this fantastic facility, you have to pay a visit if you are in the area. The two large buildings are filled with an incredible collection of racing cars and memorabilia Don has collected during his many years as "Big Daddy" of all the drag racers. The trip back to Ormond Beach got us a little wet, but everybody survived to enjoy a hot dog picnic dinner at Destination Daytona, which was provided by Total Performance and Classic Automobilia.
We were ready to roll the next morning at 7:30 a.m.; accompanied by some showers, almost 30 vehicles pulled out to start the trip up the East Coast to our ultimate destination of Ocean City, Maryland, and the Cruisin' Ocean City event. Our travels on Monday included a trip north on A1A to St. Augustine, Florida, and a stop at the historic Castillo de San Marcos national monument, which dates back to the 17th century. After another great lunch at the Conch House Restaurant on the water, we made the 200-mile trip north to our stop for the evening on Hilton Head Island in South Carolina.
The Total Performance leg continued its trek on Tuesday up the beautiful East Coast of the United States. After Monday evening's stay on Hilton Head Island, we were up early as we rolled north on Route 17 toward our lunchtime stop in historic Charleston, North Carolina. Hugh Hoitt, and members of the Street Rods Unlimited car club of Charleston, arranged to meet us at Bessinger's Barbeque for lunch and to give us some ideas of what to see in their beautiful city. After lunch, some of the Road Tourians took a guided walking tour of the city, while others visited the new North Charleston and American LaFrance Fire Museum and Educational Center that had just opened less than three weeks earlier. The museum contains more than a dozen fully restored classic and vintage fire engines and fire-fighting apparatus.
After lunch we embarked on a two-hour drive to Myrtle Beach for our Tuesday evening stay. It was Bike Week in Myrtle Beach, so there was plenty to see and do that evening. Our hotel was directly across the street from the Broadway at the Beach entertainment complex, which is filled with lots of restaurants and clubs.
We were up and rolling north by 8 a.m. on Wednesday morning. Our stop for lunch was in New Bern, North Carolina, at Andy's Cheeseburger. We enjoyed a great burger-and-milkshake lunch, and then headed out on the highway again to Kill Devil Hills on North Carolina's Outer Banks. Some members of the First Flight Cruisers car club stopped by our hotel to invite us to their weekly cruise in nearby Kitty Hawk. They usually have it on Tuesday night, but actually changed it to Wednesday since they heard we were going to be in the area. It was fun to see some of the local cars, and the club members enjoyed hearing the stories of our trip.
On Thursday morning, we visited the Wright Brothers National Memorial in Kitty Hawk, the actual site of the first recoded flight. It was awe-inspiring to stand on the exact spot where such an important event in the history of mankind took place. The museum and facility is first class and is worth a visit. From the Outer Banks area, we headed north under cloudy skies. I had previously met one of our fellow Road Tourians, Hoyt Duff, and his wife, Bobbie Lou, on the Lokar Tour to Kalamazoo last year, and they invited us to their fishing pier in Virginia Beach. Bobbie Lou really rolled out the red carpet for us at their beautiful facility, the Lynnhaven Fishing Pier on Chesapeake Bay in Virginia Beach. Everyone received a goodie bag that Bobbie Lou had put together, and we were fed one of the best meals of the entire week. Shrimp, pulled pork, and fried chicken were served with Momma Duff's rum cake and ice cream for dessert-all compliments of Bobbie Lou and Hoyt! Thanks, folks; it was a great way to wind up an amazing week.
From there, we all headed out to our final destination of Cruisin' Ocean City. By Thursday evening, the Road Tourians participating in the Total Performance leg of the tour had arrived in Ocean City. Nothing bonds a group together like a few days on the road in street rods. We had very few car problems and this year's Brookville-bodied three-window Deuce coupe, powered by a blown Shadow Rods Flathead powerplant, covered the 1,400 miles beautifully.
It was a wild weekend in Ocean City (see pg. 80 for full coverage of the event). Sunday came quickly and it was time for everyone to head home. There was just one week before the Advanced Plating leg of the Road Tour headed from the NSRA Mid-America Nationals in Springfield, Missouri, to the huge Nationals East in York, Pennsylvania.
Stay tuned. The summer Road Tour has just started!

It is not possible to send a NEW mail to an account outside our own domain. All issues occur both to iPhones and Android devices; that seems to be a problem of the server and of the mobile devices.

Any Ideas ?

ATLANTA -- Justin Bieber, Taylor Swift, One Direction. These are some of the hottest acts going right now, but try to get a ticket.
Getting to one of these concerts can cost a fortune because many times you have to pay double or triple the price.
The big names sell out quickly because a lot of the tickets are already taken and are being sold online by ticket brokers who drive up the price.
"I'm thinking, 'who can pay $888 apiece to take your 10 year old to see Justin Bieber'?" Courtney Weeks said, relaying her eye opening experience of shopping for tickets online.
She said she wanted to surprise her 10 year old daughter, Anslee, with an early Christmas present, so she shopped online to find tickets for the December 'Jingle Ball' concert in Atlanta, because Justin Bieber would be there.
Weeks is a single mom and a full time student and money was tight. She'd heard that ticket broker StubHub had good deals but it didn't turn out that way for her.
"We were literally against the wall at the Philips Arena," she said.
She had purchased tickets with a face value of $35 but ended up having to pay $89 apiece for seats in the highest section of Philips Arena.
"She was scared," Weeks said.
Weeks was mad too because when they got to the concert, the box office was selling tickets for the same section at $35 and there were plenty of better seats available as well.
In the case of the 'Jingle Ball' concert we learned, from a local ticket broker, that it didn't sell too well. She probably should have tried the venue first. However, often times, acts like Bieber sell out so quickly that consumers tend to shop ticket broker websites to guarantee a good seat.
For example, Beiber's January concert in Atlanta sold out in less than hour. Yet you could find all kinds of tickets on the secondary market. Often times even before the tickets officially go on sale to the public.
"Certain seats that we hold, let's say a Hawks ticket at Philips, that we're a season ticket holder for a club seat, those seats are offered to us for concerts at Philips," said Atlanta ticker broker Marsha Spector, owner of Front Row Seats LLC.
Ticket brokers are banking on supply and demand. Many times that demand is high. Gary Bongiovanni, of concert website Pollstar, gave 11Alive News the inside story. We learned that there are all kinds of hold backs.
A certain number of tickets go to the artist, to the fan clubs, concert promoters, radio sponsors, and premium credit card members before any are released for sale to the public.
"In today's world no show is every really sold out," Bongiovanni said.
"There are all these deals that are made for concerts and sometimes they hold back tickets, and this is just my opinion, to boost the demand," Spector said.
When tickets do go on sale you're also competing against ticket brokers who try to buy more.
"If a broker is paying their staff to be online at exactly the time the tickets go on sale, we have invested money in purchasing those tickets," Spector told us, saying they don't have the inside track any more than a consumer, when it comes to buying from Ticketmaster.
Best advice, if you want to make sure you get a ticket at face value you've got be ready to go online the moment the concert goes on sale.
However, if you want to gamble and wait until the last minute you can also find deals from ticket brokers who may try to unload extra tickets that didn't sell. Spector says there have sporting events and concerts where they have sold tickets below face value.
If you are using a ticket broker they can be helpful in securing goods seats, although that comes with a cost. Brokers who belong to the National Association of Ticket Brokers also offer some guarantees in their code of ethics. For example, if a ticket is guaranteed and not delivered, they will refund twice the face value.
Ticket brokers also come in handy if you are unable to attend a concert. The exchanges can be helpful in providing a secure place for you to sell your unused ticket.
When asked if ticket brokers are going away, Front Row Seats LLC manager, Ariel Booker, responded quickly.
"No, ticket brokers are definitely not going away. You know we have these major exchanges, such as StubHub and Ticketsnow. You know it's a multibillion dollar business and they're not going anywhere," she said.

I've installed Zimbra Desktop latest version on Windows 7 x64 and it is working great with my imap accounts.
I'm interested in extending it, but at the momment, I am not using the collaboration server.
1. Are there any Zimlets or other add-ons that can be used with Zimbra Desktop without using Zimbra Collaboration Server(ZCS)?
2. IF SO, how do I tell which ones and where do I find them?
3. IF NOT, if I install the ZCS Open Source Edition, will that allow me to use Zimlets or Add-Ons even though I am using third-party IMAP email and not actually using ZCS to serve email?
3. B. It appears that if I install ZCS to gain access to Zimlets and do a simple config, ZCS should run on it's own without a lot of attention. Is this correct? What I'm really asking is if the effort involved to install and maintain ZCS primarily to access Zimlets is worth the effort!!

All the major pharma companies are revising their growth plans and developing new ways to maintain traditionally high margins through this period of market uncertainty. At the top of the playbook is accelerating the commitment to emerging country markets, where Big Pharma has had varying levels of success—the challenge lies in transforming volume sales into sustainable profits. It is also becoming apparent that additional progress in these diverse and highly complex markets requires large investments in time, resources, and people.
Even if lower than forecast second quarter results from major players like GSK and Pfizer represent a corrective to past optimism, the headline growth rates in many emerging markets present a dramatic contrast to those in the United States, Japan and the "submerging markets" of Europe. According to data from IMS Health, drug sales in emerging markets are still growing at more than twice the global rate. China, expected to be the world's second largest pharmaceutical market by 2015, will expand at an annual rate of 22 percent to 24 percent through 2014. The other components of the BRICs—Russia, India, and Brazil—will grow at between 9 percent and 16 percent. Elsewhere, countries like Argentina, Turkey, Venezuela, Vietnam, and South Africa all exhibit substantial potential, driven by rapid economic expansion, rising incomes, and growing populations.
Resetting the opportunity button
The reality is more complicated, however. The vast majority of emerging market growth consists of sales of INN generic and branded generic compounds. Manufacturers have made significant efforts to extend the life cycle value of mature brands by introducing them outside their core markets, often with impressive results. Notwithstanding the relative success of this strategy, the growth potential of branded innovators remains limited, and there is a bigger question about the potential for many higher-priced innovator molecules, particularly biologics and targeted cancer compounds. Despite economic growth that has lifted hundreds of millions of Chinese from poverty, the monthly cost of a biologic cancer therapy like Avastin (bevacizumab) still exceeds the median monthly income in China. In other words, without a functioning insurance scheme that allows for reimbursement at low out-of-pocket cost, most of these products will remain beyond the reach of the average consumer.
To better understand the market potential for biologics and other high-priced innovators, we have devised a multivariate econometric model designed to isolate the factors most strongly predictive of growth. We included a variety of economic and demographic measures, health expenditure data from WHO and country governments, and sales data from IMS Health. Some modifications had to be made: for example, data were not available for every time period, and in some cases data from a different source had to be used to fill in gaps in official data sets. Taiwan (the Republic of China) is not a UN member, which means that UN agencies such as the World Health Organization do not capture data on the country. As a result, we relied on data from the Taiwanese government and assumed broad comparability of measures. To adjust for wide variation in population size, we normalized the dependent variable by converting top line sales numbers to per capita figures. Using standard statistical techniques, we modeled growth dynamics across emerging markets in Eastern Europe, Latin America, Asia, the Middle East, and Africa.

Moderator Note: This thread helps you build bicycle lights that meet your own needs. You can use the search option on this thread to find the details you need. Still need help? Go ahead and post your questions, comments, and brag-shots
My wife phoned me at work. "Pete, I pulled up this website, www.klorg.com. It has something you might be interested in: the Geek Light Project." Since my old lighting system was whacked, I was all ears (being a total geek myself.) I knew a new lighting system, however Fantasmic, was somewhere out near Disneyland for me, until I scraped together a couple-two-three hundred American dineros.
So when we were out at Home Depot getting a Christmas tree, I asked an orange lady, "Where is the outdoor lighting?" I ventured over to the place she pointed. It wasn't long before I nailed the 20-watt, 12-volt yard light the Geek Doctor recommended. Still short of a power source (they didn't have anything at Home Depot versatile enough,) I ferried the family home. Total expenditure on Geeky Light Project so far: $12.
On the way home, I stopped at Batteries Plus for advice, not that I expected any Real Geeks to be there to help me find something tailor-made to fit my Geek Light Project specifications; but I was waaay wrong! The Head Geek Battery Expert knew more about what I was wanting than I knew how to ask. He calculated the amp-hours needed to build a custom NiCd battery pack for my needs (ball-park) on the spot for my 12v, 20w Malibu yard light. Turns out I'm not the only cyclist who's dropped by Batteries Plus for help (thanks, dude!)
But the H.G.B.E. had bad news: I needed ten NiCd batteries for my 12v setup to get the run-time I needed for my 20w bulb. This would cost me about one hundred and fifty American pesos. Eeek, geek! This is not geeky at all! But the H.G.B.E. was not worried. "Then again, a lead-acid setup will run you about $25."
Now I knew what I had to do.
Well, another Project, the Make the Old Car Pass Emission Inspection Project, took precedence. I found myself changing the oil and shopping at Pep Boys. Lo, and behold, what did I find? a Vector Pocket Power 12V portable power source, complete with plug receptacle for charging/power, water-resistant padded case, 12-volt DC charging adapter to recharge from a car's cigarette lighter (if necessary,) 110-volt AC charging adapter for home use, and even a built-in 10-amp fuse for safety. (I forgot to mention it had a shoulder-strap, too.) Total geek-cost: $20 (which, by the way, I had saved by changing my own oil and not going to Jiffy Lube. This was still half of the price Batteries Plus would have cost me for a battery and charger, not including the totally non-geeky water-resistant padded case, and 12-volt DC charging adapter for recharging from a car's cigarette lighter (which is beyond geeky, it's in the realm of handy-man geekiness.)
Total geek cost so far: $32 Americana. Muy bien! :D
Lemme tell ya, folks, when I attached that Malibu light to the Pocket Power source, I got serious beamage. Like, the whole road lit up! And, if I want, for $7 more, I can upgrade to 35 watts (but that will affect run-time, and I'm not sure I really need it, after seeing what a 12-volt, 20-watt beam does.)
Next: find a good on/off switch...
...I am going to thank Doctor Geek from www.klorg.com for the ideas. I didn't follow everything he said, and I will be e-mailing him about some no-no's I discovered (don't charge your battery directly from your car battery without the engine running,) but Dr. G. will be getting my thanks.
(Don't worry, folks--if this is a failure, I will let y'all know. But what's $32, after all?)
