Fender Tech - Fender FabWritten by on July 1, 2008 Build A Set Of Motorcycle Fenders For Your Traditional Highboy
Motorcycle fenders look great on traditional roadsters. Popularized in the 1950s on East Coast highboys, they served a practical purpose (complying with fender laws and avoiding getting soaked on wet roads), and they provided a third option to the no-fenders or full-fenders decision. They also happen to be mandatory equipment on a Model T roadster pickup currently under construction at Hollywood Hot Rods. It's not a legal issue-the T in question is being built as a precise, fullsize replica of the Black Widow model kit sold by Monogram in the early 1960s.
HHR owner Troy Ladd's unusual challenge has been to build parts that not only look good, fit right, and work correctly, but that look just like the parts on a plastic 1:24-scale model kit from almost 50 years ago. When it was time to build the front fenders, Troy found the right raw material on eBay. Fourteen- and 16-gauge steel motorcycle rear fender blanks are plentiful online, in the local trader papers, and at swap meets-and you can probably find them for less than the price of a tank of gas.
Transforming them from bike fenders into rod fenders takes a little measuring, cutting, welding, and finishing-and some basic sheetmetal tools. Following Troy's procedure, you're probably looking at a one-weekend job. You may not be building your own Black Widow replica, but the metalwork that went into building these fenders can be applied to any highboy project.

We'll spoil the story by showing you how it ends. The widened hot rod fender on the left started life as a motorcycle rear fender blank, identical to the one on the right. Troy kept the full arc of the fender but could have shortened it from end to end if so desired.Since this T roadster pickup is being built as a precise-as-possible replica of the Black Widow model kit, the fullsize fenders had to look just like the miniature ones.Troy measured it and cut an arc following the circumference of the tire. That piece was used to create an aluminum template for removing material from the fender blanks, so the outside portion won't hang over the tire sidewall.An additional quarter-inch of aluminum material was removed from the template to allow for the tip of the plasma cutter. The edge was ground smooth and clamped to the fender. A plasma cutter is the best choice for cutting 14- or 16-gauge steel like this-and following the arch of the aluminum pattern resulted in a precise cut.The fenders were widened using strips of 16-gauge steel. Here, Troy has clamped that strip to the fender to use as a straightedge for making a perfect lengthwise slice down the center of the fender.After the fender was cut, Troy positioned both halves over the tire and measured the resulting gap to determine the correct width of the center strip. In this case, it's close to 1 1/2 inches.
The 1-1/2-inch strip of 16-gauge was rolled on an English wheel to put a bow in it, in addition to a slight crown, in keeping with the appearance of the fenders on the original model car.With the strip tack-welded into place, but prior to final welding, Troy double-checked to make sure the widened fender fits the tire the way it's supposed to.A sheetmetal template was made for the fender-mounting points, in addition to the hole necessary for the brake-adjusting bolt.The mounting plate portion of the fender was cut and drilled and at this point was ready to be welded to the widened top portion of the right fender.Troy used three pieces of 3/4-inch-wide, 1/8-inch steel strap to create ribs for reinforcing the inside of the fenders.
Mounted in place, the fender looks good and fits correctly. Two final mounting holes will be added at the bottom of the plate (arrows) in addition to the three holes at the other end. Three larger lightening holes will be drilled to match the model.

With the economy worsening and the media focusing on the cost of private jet operation, many executives are looking for ways to reduce their travel expenses. If you're not quite ready to trade private jet efficiency for the hassles of commercial aviation, sharing charter flights could be the answer.

As the economy has suffered historic setbacks, an old four-letter word has come to the fore in our business vernacular: risk. Just as you seek to better understand the risk of your portfolio investments, you should consider the risk that goes with your fractional jet ownership.

"It has never made sense to me that people who wouldn't consider driving in a car without airbags will get in an aircraft that doesn't have them," said Bill Hagan, president of Phoenix-based AmSafe Aviation. According to Hagan, airbags on airplanes can significantly increase passenger safety in accidents that occur during taxiing, takeoff and landing.

On paper, the Hawker 1000A looked like a winner. But after six years and anemic sales, Raytheon walked away from the program with only 52 built, even though it had orders for dozens more. "There must be a reason for this," I hear you say.

Tempted to stroll up to the cockpit for a chat with the pilots and the view from the front office? Depending on what's going on up there, that may not be such a great idea. While pilots love to talk about what they love, passenger access to the cockpit comes with some restrictions for safety reasons.

Block charter and jet card programs can be great options. Not only do they simplify the booking process, they also provide benefits, such as discounted fees and, on occasion, guaranteed airplane availability and upgrades.

LOVES PARK (WIFR) -- Guns continue to fly off the shelves as they had been for weeks at Stateline stores in the wake of the President's executive actions. Kap Guns owner Kenny Polhamus says he's never seen the shelves at his Loves Park shop so empty, or gun prices so high.
"A 28 hundred dollar gun I sell in here, I can't even get 'em in here anymore but if you go on gun broker or something they're selling for upwards of seven thousand dollars," says Polhamus.
Polhamus says since the November election, more customers have been buying up his stock of rifles and hand guns. He's not sure how his business will fare now that the president has asked Congress to ban assault weapons and ammunition magazines with more than 10 rounds.
"If I can't get any product, how can I sell anything? People say, 'you gotta be happy, this has gotta be good for you!' It is this month, but people stop coming once there's nothing in here," says Polhamus.
That proposed ban has left a few customers scratching their heads. "It's so broad, how to we start, where do we stop? What do you do with the past 10 to15 years of people who've already bought this stuff? You're going to limit the future but what do you do about the past?" asks
Political experts also seem to wonder about the impact of president Obama's executive actions.
"No one doubts the president's ability to do this. The only question is whether or not it will be funded, be implemented, and frankly, future presidents can overturn or rescind previous executive orders," says political science professor P.S. Ruckman.
While lawmakers in Washington figure out how to enact these executive orders, In Loves Park, Polhamus is left figuring out how to fill his customer's orders.
"I'll get five or six guns and they're gone in a matter of hours," says Polhamus.
The details on an assault weapons ban are still very vague at this point, but Polhamus is worried the restrictions could wipe out his entire stock.

Hi there, Project Runway fans! Last week, the remaining five contestants created editorial looks for Marie Claire. This week, the designers flew across the globe to find inspiration (and buy $1,000 worth of European fabric) for a high-end runway look.
We were left hanging last week in regard to Michelle's fate, which was resolved quickly here – she got to stay, but she was on a sort of probation. So, while Layana traveled to Barcelona, Daniel to Berlin, Patricia to Paris, and Stanley to London (each accompanied by an eliminated-designer-turned-assistant to maintain the team aspect), she remained solo in New York so she could focus on fighting for her life.
This actually benefited her, in a way – she got to shop at Mood. The other designers had to find fabric in local shops in their respective cities, and between language barriers, unexpectedly expensive materials, and poor selection (Daniel had to buy white pleather – yuck), they had a difficult time.
In the workroom, Tim had some wise advice for Patricia: If you're going to make something reminiscent of a multicolored marshmallow, it should be a shirt rather than a jacket. He also supported Michelle's desire to paint her "fabulous, really beautiful, sophisticated look" and tried to be nice to Layana, whose lace coat looked like it belonged in a mid-90s shopping mall.
On the runway, Patricia would have been better off if she'd made a simple top and left off the massive, puffy sleeves, and Layana's coat didn't look any better than it did in the workroom.
Michelle's cashmere skirt moved wonderfully, and the breast plate and strappy back made this a winner for me. Daniel's pleather looked edgy and luxurious, which couldn't have been an easy task, and the wedge/stocking combo was, in Nina's words, "a showpiece." Finally – the shape aside, though that in itself had me falling in love – Stanley's use of paillettes for the lining was pure genius.
I'd be surprised if any of these three didn't go to Fashion Week at this point – and it helps that they're the most likeable.
Talk to you next week. For now, auf Wiedersehen.

My Graveyard 100 report. Swing Big, Miss Big
Going into the run I knew I had some monuMENTAL challenges infront of me. Though my winter running mileage was indeed adequate for a 100 miler, most of my running was done on mountain trails and gravel roads. I am not a road runner. I knew that whatever conditioning base I needed for endless miles of pavement really wasn't there. Yet, I readily accepted that as part of the challenge for this event, as well as knowing crewed runners were likely to benefit from logistics of the course far better than lone rangers like myself (can you pluralize the term lone rangers?). The aid stations were spread out every 18 to 25 miles, which required runners to carry 3-8 hours worth of food and gear. Finally, as such the case with any first year event, we were sort of guinnea pigs who didn't have any results, or race reports to go by. Part of the reason I am writing this is to help runners who would like to participate in this event in future years.
On paper the course looks fairly benign. It is a 102.2 miles of, paved, flat, and fast road. This format drew in a variety of folks like myself looking to set a 100 mile PR, perhaps have an "easier" shot at getting a silver sub 24 hour buckle, or a minimal course to complete their first 100 miler. None of the above turned out to be true, and even for seasoned ultra runners, this was a very tough event. The event website states this, and the details should not be overlooked.
The alarm buzzed at 2:22am. A few shuttle rides, and a couple hours later it was 4:45am and we were on a cool windy beach at the north end of Currituck. 72 runners shivered under the nearly full moon eagerly awaiting the start. At 5:10am we began our 102.2 mile odyssey down the well traveled shoreline road, route 12.
I took the pace out hard from the start, fully knowing the risks of a major blowup later. The morning was cool, and the sunrise was inspiring to watch as it rose over the Atlantic ocean. I passed through the first aid station in 2:45, a mere 19.9 miles into the race. I ended up ditching my headphones, because I partially think the music was causing me to run faster than planned, but it also meant I would have no music the remaining 80+ miles. I knew the pace was way too hot early, so I tried backing off a bit, but the truth is that the road was running so fast that even when I felt like I was going "slow", I was probably running a good minute per mile faster than where I wanted to be. The perceived slow down still wasn't enough as I passed through the marathon mark in 3:42, 4:22 for 50k, and arrived at the 32.7 mile water stop in an overly brisk 4:35. This was an 8:24 minute mile pace through the first third of a 100 miler, which put me on a very unrealistic 14 hour projected finish pace. At this point I knew I was playing with fire, and if I wanted to avoid an embarassing early DNF I had to smarten up a bit. Time for some built in walk breaks and major slow down.
By mile 40, my body was already feeling the burn from the pavement. My feet had developed several hot spots and my quads were really started to throb. It reminded me of the times I felt so much more beat up after a road marathon, than say a trail 50 miler through the mountains. The road was taking it's toll, and this time it was taxing my legs (like the clever puns I used there?). At this point, Brenda Carawan comes frolicking by me like she's out for a run in neighborhood. To give credit where credit is due, Brenda did what I could not. She went out on a mission, held it together, and ended up setting a massive personal best. By the way, she won the event overall. Women ended up humbling us guys and took a clean sweep of the 100 mile and 100k races. No men were even close. Great job ladies! Meanwhile, back at the Mike Bailey walkathon, I was trying to avoid being "that guy" who leads a race for 40 miles, only to crap out with a pathetic 60 mile zombie walk to the finish.
My quivering mess for leg muscles crawled into the scenic Bodie Lighthouse aid station, mile 45, and I knew I was in for a loooong day. I was at the aid for about 10 minutes, couldn't figure clothing, so I grabbed everything and said adios. With the bright sun it was hot one moment, and then with the wind and walking, it was cold the next. C'mon body, make up your mind about being hot, or cold, this is getting a bit silly. At the race's halfway point I somewhat broke out of my funk and enjoyed the splendid view from the course's 2.5 mile Bonner Bridge. With that little pick me up I arrived at the 50.8 mile water stop in 7:57. While this was a nice split for around the halfway point of the race, I knew all too well that my legs did not have anywhere near enough to "run" the second half like I had hoped.
The miles rolled along and the wind swirled the sand from the dunes over the smooth asphalt. It was actually quite a beautiful sight, though I also felt the conditions were perfect for a chapstick or sunscreen commercial. On the arrid straight aways you could see for miles and miles where you were headed. At several points in the race you could see your destination about 10 miles off in the distance and knew that you weren't going to get there for another two hours. Sheesh, what a mind job. Spray painted mile markers on the ground signaled the completion of 55 miles, then 60. I reached the Rodanthe aid station a few hours before sunset and grabbed my night gear. I will say that 100 milers, as far as being a physical and mental test, really begins after the 100k mark. They said that the night stretch of 24.4 miles between aid 3 and 4 would be the hardest, and I am pleased to say that it did not disappoint. I reached 70 miles in 12:20, and then the sunset drew in the chilly night breeze, accompanied by a colorful spectrum of colors off the western skyline.
The night brought cold, but also gave me plenty of incentive to keep jogging to stay warm. I would summarize the twenty mile stretch from 63 to 83 miles as a mix of brisk walking and about 60% jogging. I was really laying the hammer down with those blistering 12:30 miles. However, the wind, though at my back for most of day, was really preventing me from staying warm, even with the intervals of running. My feet, which hurt as early as 40 miles earlier, were on fire due to blisters on both feet. Despite attempts at fixing them throughout the day, the repetitive steps were making it tougher to run. Lack of running + dropping temps = very rapidly dropping core temperature. This is an equation many runners fear, and for most Graveyard runners, it was a bad reality. When I reached the final Hatteras Lighthouse aid station (mile 87), I had been slowly fading into a cold induced walk for a couple hours. I knew I absolutely had to find more clothing, because the light coat, t-shirt, and shorts that had sufficed all day weren't going to cut it for the remaining 13+ miles. After about 15 minutes warming up and eating some hot chili an awesome volunteer let me borrow an extra shirt and blue tights. I tossed on a garbage bag for wind protection, and though I looked like love child of Quasimodo and Spider Man, it was time to roll.
Eventhough I was now plenty warm, I knew my running for the day was long over. My feet and quads weren't capable of much, and when I could feel the skin of my blisters sloshing around in my shoe, it was clear running would do more harm than good. This was the first time my feet have blistered in Drymax socks, and they were bad. The last hours were indeed long and lonely, but it was in these times where the road never seemed to end that I reminded myself that THIS is the challenge I came for. I remembered my friends Ian and Bill, whom I lost in the last month, and promised myself I wouldn't complain about the cold, tired legs, and blisters. My thoughts shifted towards the moon rising over my left shoulder, the sound of the crashing waves muffled by the dunes, and the stars above that looked like a Light Bright masterpiece. My mind settled and even with 95 miles of harsh pounding, I was happy and content.
Soon the lights of Hatteras were on the horizon, and though it seemed like it took ages to get there, it meant I was very near the finish. A volunteer van drove by and said I had half a mile to go, but after a half mile I saw nothing. I stood at the intersection for about five minutes where they said to stay left for the finish line, but I looked to the left and didn't see anything set up. Little did I know, I was literally about a hundred yards from the finish, but it wasn't until a crew person walked up to me that I was pointed to the correct spot. A few steps later I was done, and honestly I don't think I've been more happy to be done with a race. Compared to trail races with full aid every 4-10 miles, this one tested my mental game pretty good.
Some closing thoughts. If you think it will be easy to break 24 hours because the course is flat, you are in for a surprise. This is also not really a race for people attempting their first 100, or ultra. If you are a novice runner who really wants to try this event, perhaps invite your friends to crew for you, as races like this can really bond runners and crews. The scenery of the course is very beautiful, though you will be very isolated most of the time. You will run through little coastal towns to break up the monotony, but in March most of the businesses are closed. I probably walked about 30 miles of this race, and everything after mile 83. I'm not sure if the trashed legs were due to the pavement, fast pace early, or combination of both. Either way, it was a lot of walking. I will say that when they shuttled us back home the runners still on the course looked like extras from music video Thriller. Lips were chapped, faces were crusted over from sun and wind burn, and eyes glossed over from sheer fatigue. Yup, you too can experience these aesthetics for only $210 and a signed waiver :-)
Immediately after the run I felt more wrecked than any other race I had ever done. I could barely get out of the shuttle van, and walking up the four steps into the finish line motel was tantamount to ascending the Hilary step on Mount Everest. It is always so ironic how one second we are running distances of mentally managable increments of 10 and 20 miles, and then we find taking a handful of steps to get into a shower nearly mind numbingly impossible. Thankfully, I am writing this post three days after the run, and I am happy to say the blisters are healing, the swelling is gone, and three nights of fitfull sleep served me well. 100 milers also give me carte blanche to eat anything set infront of me that contains a measurable caloric value.
Race stats:
Time: 20:28:16 (4th overall, 3rd male)
Time at aid: something around 50 minutes. Mostly eating, warming up, finding gear so I wouldn't freeze to near death, and making people look at my gross feet.
Starters: 72
Finishers: 44 (39% drop rate)...in ideal weather
First time 100 milers: 2 out of 20 finished (90% drop rate)
Sub 24 hour buckles: 21 (29%)
Weather: high 30's to high 40's. Sunny. Wind from the north 10-28 mph.
Thank you to RaceNC (Brandon and Heather Wilson) for their support and for having the crazy notion to put on a 100 mile run down the entire length of the Outer Banks. Thanks to all the volunteers for making this new event happen, and for braving the wind and cold so we would pursue our nutty passion for running stupidly far. This was a worthy challenge, and certainly unlike any ultra I have ever done.

Way to finish, despite the blowup. It takes extra courage to run an inaugural 100 miler!

Great job, Mike! There's no such thing as a bad 100 finish, even when you're forced to do the 'walk of shame' in the end. We've all been there, and lord knows we've all walked in a MUCH worse time than 20 hours! Well done, my friend. Happy healing, and I look forward to sharing the trails with you soon!

Thanks guys for checking in!
@Kir, I blow up at every hundred miler, so I guess it was business as usual. Haha.
@Dan. Congrats on being a new daddy! I think you'd enjoy this event, and it's a great course for 24 hour race training.
@Brenda- I doused myself with suntan lotion before the race and applied chapstick a ton. If my facts are right, you may have posted the fastest female 100 time in the country this year. Nice!

Hey Mike, I ran with the Graveyard RD today at BRR and I told him I knew about his race because of your race report. Then he talked about what a great guy you are- just thought you'd want to know that you made quite an impression on him =) Hope to see you at a race or two soon!

I was one of the lucky few that made this my first 100 Miler. Having only completed the JFK50 and the MTC Fat Ass 50K...this was my third ultra. Took me 25 hours...didn't realize until tonight that I and my partner Tom where the 2 of the 20 that made it to the finish as first time Century Runners! 09 March 13 we make it 2 for 2!

A California judge on July 6 awarded about 15,000 former and present security guards of ABM Security Services Inc. $89.7 million in wages, interest and penalties in a class action lawsuit filed over the issue of rest breaks.
At issue in the litigation, which began in July 2005, was that guards were given "on-duty" breaks during which they were required to keep their cellphones or pagers on, according to court papers in the case, Jennifer Augustus vs. American Commercial Social Security Services et al. ACSS is a subsidiary of New York-based ABM.
The company "balks at the notion that the employer must relieve workers of all duties for the rest break to be legally valid," said Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge John S. Wiley in his ruling. "Put simply, if you are on call, you are not on break. That has been the law for many years," said Wiley, who also denied the company's motion to decertify the class.
"Substantively, California's labor law gave advance notice of the penalties for depriving workers of rest breaks," said Wiley. "Those penalties are straightforward and chastening. When the view is clear and the exposure chastening, the rational hiker steers clear of the edge of the cliff. ACCS broke the law and must pay according to that law. That is the rule of law and not a violation of due process."
Drew Pomerance, a partner with Roxborough Pomerance Nye and Adreani L.L.P. in Los Angeles who represented the plaintiffs, said in a statement, "ABM's conduct is the poster child for how California businesses should not behave, and it's very satisfying to see a court finally hold them accountable."
ABM general counsel Sarah McConnell said in a statement, "We will vigorously pursue our right to appeal because we firmly disagree with today's ruling, its interpretation of California rest period law and California class certification standards. We contend that we provide our workers with rest breaks conforming to both the letter and spirit of the law."

Lady Lyric Turns 100
The people of Cache Valley have a long tradition for loving the theater. After the unfortunate destruction of the Thatcher Opera House by fire in 1912, the elegant and practical Lyric Theater was constructed to help fill the void until a larger theater could be built. It was completed in 1913 and this year it celebrates its 100th birthday. This history of this gem of the community has been retold in a new hour long documentary.

The Pamela Jacobazzi Case
On August 3, 1994, Pamela Jacobazzi began caring for a new client, 10-month old Matthew Czapski. Unfortunately, Pamela did not require a medical exam prior to caring for new clients. Unbeknownst to Pamela, Matthew suffered from numerous medical conditions. These conditions included sickle cell trait, abnormal hemoglobin levels, and an ongoing struggle with infection, fever, anemia and dehydration. On top of all that, Matthew's head size suggested that he suffered from external hydrocephalus.
On August 8, 1994, Matthew fell forward from a sitting position and struck his head on a tile floor while in Jacobazzi's care. Jacobazzi soothed the child's pain with some ice. Matthew appeared fine after the incident; however, this short-fall incident was far from over.
On August 11, 1994, Matthew's mother, Cynthia Czapski, picked him up from Jacobazzi's daycare. At the time, Matthew appeared to be sleeping. On the ride home Cynthia found Matthew to be unresponsive. She rushed him to St. Joseph's Hospital in Elgin, Illinois and they had him airlifted to Lutheran General Hospital where he underwent emergency surgery to relieve swelling and bleeding on his brain. Matthew would remain virtually comatose until his death 16 months later.
Jacobazzi became the main suspect in Matthew's death. Matthew's injuries, which included a subdural hematoma, retinal hemorrhaging, and brain swelling, were considered consistent with Shaken Baby Syndrome (SBS). At the time, SBS was considered sound science and was accepted in the medical community.
Recently however, SBS has become a controversial diagnosis. Changes in medicine now challenge the assumption that the trio of injuries (subdural hematoma, retinal hemorrhaging, and brain swelling) can only be the result of a violent shaking or a fall from a three story building. In fact, medical literature now suggests that pre-existing medical conditions such as subdural bleeding, cerebral artery aneurysms, vascular malformations, meningitis, and coagulation and hematologic disorders such as leukemia, sickle cell anemia, disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC), hemophilia, von Willebrand's disease and idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP), in conjunction with a short fall or other minor head trauma, can produce the symptoms previously associated with Shaken Baby Syndrome.
Armed with this new information, The Illinois Innocence Project has begun to reinvestigate Jacobazzi's case. The Project is working with students from the University of Illinois College of Law and Jacobazzi's attorney, Anthony Sassan, to prove that Matthew's injuries were not the result of a violent shaking, but, instead were the result of Matthew's short fall, coupled with his naturally occurring diseases.
Recently, Northwestern University's Medill Innocence Project has published an investigation of the case in partnership with a team of investigative journalism students. You can view Medill's interview with Pam here.
The Illinois Innocence Project is currently assisting pro bono attorney Anthony Sasson in applying for clemency from Illinois Governor Pat Quinn. A copy of the petition is available for you to view here. You can support this effort by signing a Letter of Support for Pam (send via email) and by signing our online Change.org petition. Thank you for your support!

Your Options for Choosing a Place of Birth
What are the main types of places of birth? What are my options?
What is it like to give birth in a hospital?
What is it like to give birth in an out-of-hospital (or "freestanding") birth center?
What is it like to give birth in my own home?
How do these options compare to a "birth center" in a hospital?
What are the main types of places of birth? What are my options?There are several types of places of birth, or birth settings, in the U.S.: hospitals, out-of-hospital birth centers, and your own home. In addition, it is important to understand the meaning of a "birth center" in a hospital. This page provides information about these places of birth. As you become more aware of your needs, values, and preferences, you will be able to choose a place of birth that is a good match for you.
The great majority of childbearing women in the U.S. are well and healthy, and can consider the full range of places of birth. If you have a serious medical condition or are at high risk for developing such a condition, you will probably want to plan to give birth in a hospital and be in the care of a doctor who is board-certified in obstetrics. Maternity caregivers understand and can advise you about situations that may call for more specialized care.
What is it like to give birth in a hospital?In the United States, the hospital is the most common site for birth. Care in hospital is usually led by physicians, and often reflects what has been called the medical model of care. This can mean that hospital maternity care may:
What is it like to give birth in an out-of-hospital (or "freestanding") birth center?Freestanding birth centers are not available in all areas of the United States, and far more women give birth in hospitals. Nonetheless, a freestanding birth center can be a good choice for women who want more personalized care than in hospitals, yet may not feel comfortable with home birth.
In contrast to the institutional environment in hospitals, most freestanding birth centers have a homelike environment, and many are in fact located in converted homes. Care in birth centers is often provided by midwives and often reflects what has been called the midwifery model of care. This can mean that birth center care may:
What is it like to give birth in my own home?Hospitals are the most common birth setting in the U.S., and a much smaller proportion of women give birth at home.
Home birth shares many qualities of birth in freestanding birth centers. In addition, it is your own familiar and private space, and you do not have to relocate during labor or after giving birth. Most home birth caregivers are midwives offering what has been called the midwifery model of care. This means that birth in your own home may:
How do these options compare to a "birth center" in a hospital?Many hospitals realize the demand for benefits of a birth center or a homelike environment and offer birth centers within the hospital. This may be a good choice for a woman who appreciates the homelike individualized care of a birth center, and wants emergency care to be available in the same building.
A word of caution: a birth center within a hospital does not necessarily offer the same type of care as a freestanding birth center. Many hospitals call their regular labor and delivery area their "Birth Center" to make it sound appealing. Although this area in a hospital may look more homey than the rest of the hospital (for example, with rocking chairs and wallpaper), patterns of care may more closely resemble routine hospital practices than care in freestanding birth centers.
If you are considering a hospital birth center, you should learn about the type of care that is offered there. It is important to clarify how, if at all, a hospital's birth center policies and practices differ from regular hospital care, including:

Efthimis Efthimiadis
Dear Friends,
It is my very sad duty to share with you the tragic news that our beloved friend and colleague, Efthimis Efthimiadis passed away on Wednesday evening.
As you all know, he has been battling a cruel illness with great courage; never losing his sense of optimism and fun. Efthi's wife Jagoda contacted me this morning to share this sad news. I was able to convey the sympathies of our entire community to her. She let me know that she is working on arrangements for a memorial service tentatively scheduled for Saturday, May 7th. I will convey to you the details of this service when they are available. I know that all your thoughts and prayers will be directed to Jagoda and Nicholas.
When I came to Seattle twelve years ago, the first invitation that my family received was to a dinner at Efthi's house. He was a warm, loving, cheerful soul. We will miss him greatly.

Brown Trucking brings Schrader on board
September 17, 2010
Metro Atlanta-based dedicated short-haul truckload carrier James Brown Contracting Inc. announced it as acquired Schrader Trucking Co, a Jefferson City, Tennessee-based dry van truckload carrier.
Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.
Schrader is comprised of 95 trucks and 201 trailers and operates in the Southeast, Midwest, and Mid-Atlantic regions, as well as Texas and Canada, mainly transporting plastics, vinyl films, retail, building materials and industrial machinery parts, according to Brown officials. Schrader President Phil Schrader will step down from his position and Co-owner and Vice President will stay on board and serve as director of business development for Brown Trucking, according to Brown.
Brown Trucking CEO Brian Kinsey told LM there were various reasons behind this acquisition.
We had been in discussions with the sellers for over a year, looking for a cultural fit, customer relationships and a plan that would assure a smooth, successful transition," said Kinsey. "Schrader provides Brown with an experienced, high quality driver force, a great customer base, and a high quality, dedicated group of employees to operate what will be our largest terminal outside the Atlanta area."
Kinsey noted that when combined with Brown Trucking, Schrader increases its service flexibility with additional capacity when needed, and the Brown service network will help Schrader load its trucks back to northeastern Tennessee. Brown also adds a high-service dedicated and short haul capability to Schrader's markets, he said.
While the carriers have similar service footprints, acquiring Schrader adds Canadian service and regular routes into Brown's network into Texas and the Midwest. In terms of personnel, Schrader adds more than 100 employees—including drivers—into the fold at Brown.
"The acquisition of Schrader adds nearly a hundred late-model trucks to our network, but more importantly, a like number of really good, quality drivers and a service network that is very complimentary with Brown Trucking," said Kinsey. "Schrader's location in the heart of our footprint increases our service density in eastern Tennessee and the surrounding area."

High Performance Message Passing Interface with IBM Platform MPI
IBM Platform MPI is a high performance, production–quality implementation of the Message Passing Interface (MPI)—supporting the broadest range of industry standard platforms, interconnects and operating systems to help ensure that parallel applications can run on any platform.
Optimized application parallelization
The need for speed
Application parallelization, especially in scientific research or computational science, is necessary to run compute intensive applications. However, a sub-optimized environment jeopardizes competiveness and slows your speed to results. MPI is essential to accelerate applications. Developers want an MPI library that provides:
- Application performance improvement
- Independence from switch, OS, CPU type and development tools
- Bulletproof run-time execution
- Backward compatibility
- Broad ISV adoption for choice of platforms
Accelerate applications with a high performance Message Passing Interface (MPI)
Broadest range of support
IBM Platform MPI is a high performance, production–quality implementation of the Message Passing Interface (MPI) to accelerate applications in distributed computing environments. It supports the broadest range of industry standard platforms, interconnects and operating systems helping ensure that parallel applications can run anywhere. Platform MPI helps clients:
- Obtain higher quality results faster
- Reduce development and support costs
- Improve engineer and developer productivity
Rather than have the application handle architectural differences in your infrastructure, Platform MPI manages them for you—no need to write multiple versions of the application to account for different interconnects. It also incorporates advanced CPU affinity features, dynamic selection of interface libraries, superior workload manager integrations and improved performance and scalability.
Accelerate time to result
Platform MPI designed to:
- Run on a broad range of networks and interconnects so that applications can run on more platforms to reduce testing, maintenance and support costs
- Provide compatibility across Windows and Linux environments
- Optimize application performance by improving collective algorithms
- Enable greater scalability enabling more than 128K+ parallel processes
- Maximize network efficiency—dynamically select optimal network connection between each node at runtime.
Reduce development effort & enable applications to use the latest technologies
Focus on portability
Platform MPI allows developers to build a single executable that transparently leverages the performance features of any type of interconnect, resulting in applications with optimal latency and bandwidth for each protocol. This reduces development effort and enables applications to use the latest technologies on Linux or Microsoft Windows without the need to re-compile and re-link applications. Automatic interconnect detection and selection can happen at runtime, while high availability features include interconnect fail-over and fault tolerance. Platform MPI helps take the risk out of mission critical high performance technical computing deployments by being pre-qualified and certified on a variety of platforms—continuing to be fully backward compatible with HP-MPI, and the applications it supports.
IBM Platform MPI – Standard Edition
IBM Platform MPI – Standard Edition is a fully featured version of Platform MPI, which is designed to deliver application performance at scale. It is a high performance, production-quality implementation of MPI designed to accelerate application performance in distributed computing environments.
IBM Platform MPI - Community Edition
IBM Platform MPI - Community Edition is ideal for smaller technical computing clients, as well as developers and business partners who serve these clients. It can be setup quickly, is easy-to-use, and includes self-managing capabilities. IBM Platform MPI - Community Edition embodies all of the core features of the more scalable Platform MPI - Standard Edition.
IBM Platform MPI - Community Edition is available for download and deployment at no charge. An optional yearly subscription is available for users who require technical support or greater scalability.
IBM Business Partners and Independent Solution Vendors (ISV) who want to embed or include Platform MPI as part of their solutions can distribute IBM Platform MPI - Community Edition at no-charge upon registering with IBM. Please contact firstname.lastname@example.com for details. An optional yearly support subscription is available for ISVs.

WASHINGTON (AP) - Republican vice presidential nominee Paul Ryan acknowledges that he was shocked when he and presidential nominee Mitt Romney lost last week's election. The Wisconsin congressman says President Barack Obama won fair and square.
In an interview with ABC News being aired Tuesday, Ryan says he and Romney thought they had a very good chance of winning Nov. 6. He cites polling, other data, and what he calls "the smart people who watch this stuff" for his optimistic view election night.
Ryan says Obama deserves kudos for what Ryan calls "a fantastic ground game." The congressman says Obama received more votes and should be congratulated for that.
Had he been at the top of the ticket, Ryan says, he would have run exactly the kind of campaign that Romney ran.

I'm a little disappointed Justified didn't get nominated for drama series. That's a great show.
Nick Offerman definitely got snubbed for best supporting actor in a comedy. Parks & Rec killed it this last season but he was even better.
Don't even care about the Emmys if you aren't gonig to put HIMYM as best comedy.
No Men of a Certain age? Wow.

Mondays at 9 I believe. DVR has made me forget time and days now.
Oh and I completely agree on Justified. I will never understand why shows like that get snubbed but HBO series get all of the nods and a huge chunk of America cant even watch them.

I think How I Met Your Mother has gone down hill the past couple seasons. The same can be said for The Office and 30 Rock. I used to love all of these shows but they are definitely past their prime.
Modern Family is easily the funniest show in the comedy category.

fixed it. Done for the season though
I'd like to see Friday Night Lights win for best drama but it won't.

Im looking for a 5 foot hose for a posiden regulator
Hello Graham, I do have a call in with Poseiden to see if they make a 5' version of this hose. Because of the over press valve build into the hose, that could be the reason (cost) that they do not make a 5' version hose. There are ways to make 5' hose. If you combined the XS Scuba Poseidon Low Pressure Scuba Regulator Hose Adapter web link: http://www.scuba.com/scuba-gear-37/034540/XS-Scuba-Poseidon-Low-Pressure-Scuba-Regulator-Hose-Adapter.html. with the XS Scuba MIFLEX Braided Scuba Regulator Hose web link: http://www.scuba.com/scuba-gear-37/034156/XS-Scuba-MIFLEX-Braided-Scuba-Regulator-Hose.html with the 60" that would make what you are looking for. If you would like to place an order or have any other questions please feel free to give us a call at 1.800.347.2822.

MIDDLEBOURNE - There was a very distinct difference between Valley coach Jim West's and Tyler Consolidated coach Rob Jones' thoughts on their teams' sectional baseball game played in the rain at Tyler Consolidated High School.
''A couple times the balls were slick, but I didn't think (the rain) effected the game too much,'' Jones said. ''There were a couple soft spots around the plate, but you know, it's playoff time and you've got to get the games in and the kids played well.''
West did agree with his counterpart that the balls were wet, but not much more.
Article Photos
Tyler Consolidated's Isaac Michael takes a cut Monday.
''Bradon Stoneking, our starting pitcher, the first couple innings the ball was so wet, he couldn't get a hold of it and threw a couple of wild pitches,'' West said. ''I wish they would have called it to be honest, but that's here nor there.''
No matter how hard the rain came down, the game pressed on and resulted in an 11-6 Silver Knights victory.
''Whenever we made the routine plays, it went real smoothly,'' Jones noted. ''Jordan Baker on the mound, a good freshman pitcher, threw strikes and we made plays behind him and played pretty well.''
It was those routine plays that eluded Valley (4-16) early on as the Lumberjacks needed time to adjust to the elements, but gave up three easy runs in the process.
''Very, very easy (runs),'' West said. ''The backstop, once it gets past him, they can pretty much steal third from one bad pitch.''
Nathan Heintzman did.
With one out in the fourth, Heintzman went from first to third with the ball thrown everywhere in between.
A Koty Martin groundout at the next at bat brought Heintzman in to break a 6-6 tie.
''There was good base running on our part,'' Jones pointed out. ''I think the kids had their heads up and were ready to play. They know when to move when the ball gets away from the catcher and they took advantage.''
The Silver Knights (7-19) did even more so in the sixth.
Two of the four insurance runs Tyler picked up came off of wild pitches.
''We let them get a three-run lead on us, then we battled back,'' West said. '''Then we basically let it slip away from us.
''I'm proud of our guys, we did very well. We just didn't get enough runs when we needed them.''
Valley will need to get those runs today as the Lumberjacks take on St. Marys with the season on the line at Tyler Consolidated.
The Silver Knights are idle and will take on the winner of today's game at 5 p.m. Wednesday.

Who will replace Jon Stewart on The Daily Show? Crumbs!
Jon Stewart's replacement: Six better ideas?
Tuesday's announcement that Jon Stewart, the first news anchor anyone under 30 would name if asked, would be taking a break from The Daily Show for three months led to an obvious question: Who will replace him?
I asked the Internet even though Comedy Central had already announced who it would be.
The show's selection was greeted with grins in some quarters. But the Internet had other ideas, too.
Arsenio Hall
Took politics and late-night television to the next level.
Craig Kilborn
The original host of The Daily Show and choice of @jherr555.
Marc Maron
Comedian and WTF podcast host, suggested by @ninagarin.
Kevin Nealon
SNL cast member from 1986 to 1995, suggested by @EvanSDlabor.
Norm McDonald
@EvanSDlabor's top suggestion. He told me, "I vote Norm, but I think he is an acquired taste and won't have broad appeal."
Jason Jones
A Canadian actor and current correspondent on The Daily Show and suggestion from @ThadCollins.
John Oliver
The actual replacement host. The Daily Show's senior British correspondent. Do you have a better suggestion? Write it below in the comments section.

Next week, secondary education professor Louis Smith will travel to the Ukraine. He and two other delegates from Alabama will travel to the area as part of a program with the Center for Civic Education. The mission of the trip is to share strategies with Ukrainian instructors on teaching democracy and citizenship.
"I'm also hoping to bring some of the Ukrainian educators here in October and they'll be working with some of our classes if they can come to our Social Studies classes and some of our Social Studies method classes to give them a taste of a culture that's very different from ours," said Smith.
Smith says he hopes to find out within the next two weeks, if the Ukrainian educators will be able to travel to UWA. Meanwhile, Smith leaves for the Ukraine on Sept. 4 and will return on Sept. 15.

Just a few of the professional athletes and owners to receive lifetime bans from their respective leagues.
Joseph "Shoeless Joe" Jackson was one of the key figures in the infamous "Black Sox" scandal, which rocked baseball and caused the introduction of a baseball commissioner. He ended his 14 seasons in the majors in 1920 with a lifetime ban.
Former Cincinnati Reds player and manager Pete Rose was banned for life from Major League Baseball in 1989 for a history of offenses that included gambling.
Marge Schott, former owner of the Cincinnati Reds, was banned in 1996, for repeated racial and ethnic slurs. Schott was later reinstated but resigned shortly thereafter.
Roy Tarpley was banned from the NBA in 1995. The former Dallas Mavaricks player had repeatedly violated the league's substance abuse policy.
Lance Armstrong was banned from cycling in 2012 and stripped of his Tour de France titles after a doping scandal.
Former college and NFL quarterback Art Schlichter was suspended for life in 1986 by the NFL for gambling. Schlichter is currently in prison for fraud.

I'd be a complete waste of money to let Iverson walk after outright buying his pick. We desperately need a backup PG (or starting if you think Rondo's held out) to not sign Pressey. I think the Celtics would like to keep Shav. I don't see DJ coming back. Latest word on HoopsHype is 90% chance they sign Faverani, the Brazilian center. I really like Tony Mitchell so far, and I've always wanted them to give Joseph a chance.
