The ATP World Tour rankings were released today with Rafael Nadal officially replacing Roger Federer as the world's top baller after winning his fifth Roland Garros championship this weekend. Fed falls back to the second spot.
Robin Soderling moved up one spot to No. 6 after reaching the RG final for the second consecutive year, as did Andy Roddick who now sits at No. 7. Reigning U.S. Open champ Juan Martin del Potro, who is recovering from wrist surgery, fell two spots to No. 8. He made the semifinals of Roland Garros last year.
The WTA saw some big moves today with the Roland Garros ladies' champ Francesca Schiavone making her debut in the Top 10 after leaping 11 big spots to land at No. 6. Her compatriot Flavia Pennetta matched her best result in Paris by reaching the fourth round and jumped five spots in the rankings to the 10th position.
This weekend's finalist, Sam Stosur, remained at No. 7 while Kim Clijsters moved up one spot to the ninth position. The Belgian pulled out of RG to recover from a foot injury she sustained at FED CUP. Her compatriot, four-time champ Justine Henin, moved up five spots to re-enter the Top 20 at No. 18 after her fourth-round appearance.
Svetlana Kuznetsova + Dinara Safina took big hits after their campaigns failed miserably in the City of Lights falling out of the Top 10. The 2009 RG champ went out in the third round and fell 13 nasty spots to land at No. 19 while last year's finalist tumbled from No. 9 down to No. 20 with her first round loss in Paris. Elena Dementieva is now the only Russian lady baller left in the Top 10 - astounding.

2011 Legal Elite
Change of Venue
Thats a question we posed to those who received the most votes in 14 business-related specialties in this, the 10th annual, class of Business North Carolinas Legal Elite. Their responses, as well as other information about them, can be found on the pages that follow. (One, William J. Mason, the winner in intellectual property, begged off, saying he didnt feel worthy.) As in the past, many were called postcards went to 20,373 active members of the N.C. State Bar, directing them to ballots on BusinessNC.com but few were chosen: 598, to be exact, fewer than 3% of practicing lawyers. Voters, asked who is the best in each field, couldnt select themselves and could only pick members of their firms if they also chose someone outside the firm in the same category. And more weight was given to outside votes.

We work on tools, languages and methodologies to dramatically increase the productivity of software development. We are interested in both analysis tools for existing software, as well as in asking questions about how software of the future should be designed. The following is a preview of the research areas that we are currently working on: Verification and Testing, Probabilistic Programming, Scalable Distributed Systems and Concurrency Control.
Verification and Testing
Ensuring correctness of programs is crucial for software development. The focus of this research is to build tools and techniques to ensure that a program meets its specification.
The Q program verifier brings together state-of-the-art tools to enable automated verification of programs written in a variety of programming languages, leveraging symbolic search techniques. Q stands out from its competition in its unique support for analyzing concurrent, multi-core, as well as distributed systems. The Yogi project pioneered the art of combining static analysis with testing in order to prove safety properties of sequential programs. Seal is a research prototype that infers and summarizes the potential side-effects of a method in a C# program. It is scalable, capable of consuming entire .NET libraries, and supports sophisticated C# features such as LINQ, delegates, event-handler, exceptions and so on. We also work on the application of machine learning techniques for efficient and scalable program verification.

Scalable Distributed Systems
Building systems that can scale seamlessly under load is an art. Scalability is a concern that pervades every aspect of the system stack including languages, runtimes, and storage. Unfortunately, scalability conflicts with other desirable properties such as consistency and security. The focus of this research is to rethink programming models, storage systems, and tools with scalability as the primary goal.
The CScale project explores new designs of distributed databases. As part of this project, we have developed a new replication protocol for building consistent and resilient distributed data structures. With Cipherbase, we are rethinking the design of databases and database abstractions with security as a first class citizen. We are building a compiler that securely migrates existing database applications to public cloud platforms. Perforator is a tool for costing and optimizing queries running on distributed query engines such as HIVE and DryadLINQ.

Probabilistic Programming
Probabilistic programs are usual programs with two added constructs: (1) the ability to draw values at random from distributions, and (2) the ability to condition values of variables in a program through observations. Models from diverse application areas such as computer vision, coding theory, cryptographic protocols, biology and reliability analysis can be written as probabilistic programs.
Probabilistic inference is the problem of computing an explicit representation of the probability distribution implicitly specified by a probabilistic program. We show connections this research area has with programming languages and software engineering, including language design, static and dynamic analysis. These ideas form the basis of the tool R2.

Concurrency Control
(Joint work with collaborators at Tel-Aviv University, Technion, and Stanford University.)
A key challenge in writing concurrent programs is concurrency control: ensuring that concurrent accesses and modifications to shared mutable state do not interfere with each other in undesirable ways. Atomic sections are a simple way to declaratively specify a desired correctness criterion in the presence of concurrency: an atomic section is a code fragment that must appear to execute in isolation, with no interference from other parallel computation. Our work has focused on atomic sections, in various settings, both from an analysis/verification perspective as well as synthesis perspective. The problems we have looked at include the following. (a) Converting a sequential data-structure into a linearizable data-structure. (A linearizable data-structure essentially guarantees that each of its methods is atomic.) (b) Converting a linearizable data-structure into a transactional data-structure. A transactional data-structure is a data-structure that provides additional hooks that enable clients to perform a sequence of operations atomically. (c) Composing transactional data-structures.

WOW you must have been good this year!
Man you are dedicated! A reply at 11:44 PM!I just wanted you to have plenty to chose from! This doesn't count as a double post does it? I don't want you upset.
Hmm, How about 20% off for all REA members and free shipping to all 50 States.
Discount? REA members get special consideration from parts department the way it is. Now if the annual dues were say, $200 .... I could see a discount ..... I ain't sayin' - I'm just sayin' .....
Not to be rude (and I'm serious) but what consideration?? I get a newsletter and received a certificate and patch when I joined but must have missed other stuff.Rick
Do we need to identify ourselves as a member or is our account coded when we order??Thanks,Rick
We keep records of each member and their REA number.
Did you see my order from this weekend? Its not going on sale tomorrow is it?
I joined the REA for the patch. If anyone sees my number go by, I'm sort of curious what it is now. (I don't get any news letter, BTW)So Mr Partsman- what happened to Travis? Moved on to greener pastures?
Any chance these will be going on sale ?http://store.royalenfieldusa.com/heady-duty-fender-stays

1/8 " LX80 Play in AZ axis acceptable?
Posted 04 November 2012 - 08:57 PM
Posted 04 November 2012 - 09:38 PM
There are a few members that have taken the mount apart to work on other problems. Maybe one of them will have a better answere for you.
Posted 04 November 2012 - 10:03 PM
Posted 05 November 2012 - 11:11 AM
I noticed some slop in the AZ mount also. But, there are two locking levers on opposite sides of the mount that must be slid into place to remove the slop.
The lowest lever simply pushes all the way over once you are finished making the fine-tine AZ alignment with the supplied allen wrench tool. This is the AZ alignment that is adjusted using the manual worm gear.
The other AZ slider lever is more like a clutch that applies resistance to the upper mount head assembly rotation. You can partially push this lever over to increase clutch pressure for manual Alt/AZ use of the mount or you can push the lever all the way tight for motorized use of the mount.
Once both levers are pushed over on the mount, all the AZ slop is gone.
Is this what you are talking about?

I contacted my dealer, who contacted his dealer rep at Meade. The dealer rep contacted the head of Meade service who called me. I directed him to the videos I posted on YouTube showing the issue. He asked me to try the mount out under the night skies as opposed to testing it in my living room and to report back to him. I told him that I would do so in from of 100+ plus people at a star party this weekend and if the mount continued to perform poorly with my C9.25" OTA and MallinCams, the group would see that first hand.
More to follow.
Posted 06 November 2012 - 09:35 AM
Posted 06 November 2012 - 09:42 AM
Please do keep us posted. I am one of the "lucky" ones who still is waiting for my LX80, so I have been following the saga very closely. Since I did get it ordered at the $799 price, I haven't cancelled. I wanted it for photography, initially, but I have held on thinking even if it proves to be less than acceptable for taking pictures, it is still cheaper than the Minitower for a dual scope Alt/Az. Anyway, I have a C9.25 as well, so I really am eagerly awaiting your star party report. Thanks so much!
Posted 06 November 2012 - 11:32 AM
If you try imaging with a large ota like a 9.25 or an AR-6, a 20 or 30 second unguided image should come out fine. If the play is excessive it wont.
In my experience, I have a 9.25 and an AR-6 and my mount couldn't handle the weight of either ota. Some people get mounts who can. But expect some movement. Its the way they designed it. But if that movement is excessive and/or it moves too easily you will know it when you try to look through the eyepiece or try to image. It will jiggle around alot. But if it doesn't jiggle or the jiggle stops right away and stays stopped then its fine. I don't know why Meade won't address that springy problem because the mount will never live up to the rating of 40lbs max unless they do.
I would be weary if your AR-6 isn't tight when you clamp it in the saddle. Mine would pop out easily just by twisting it. or leaning my ota to the side. I think it was odd that Meade made their own saddle where you could not mount their older ota's. I think it's another attempt to try to get you to buy a new ota from them. But you can just buy a new dovetail. I would call and complain but they probably wont care. But call anyways because if you don't say something they will never address the problem. They had recently changed the design of their dovetails that come on their refractors.
So anyone who is using a Meade ota with the old style dovetail should be very careful because it can pop off the mount and your ota will be on the ground. I haven't even seen a warning about this from Meade. They just let you find out the hard way.

I just bought a FarPoint Vixen Type Saddle which locks my scopes in tight on my LX80, an improvement. Also bought some 10mm 1.5 set screws to replace the Meade Knobs.
Farpoint Astro Product Number: FVS - cost $65.

Not a bad price on the saddle. Which knobs did you replace with set screws?

Posted 06 November 2012 - 06:33 PM
Talked to Meade customer service today (Christopher)and was told that a little play in the az clutch is okay. They did confirm that they would pay the return shipping if I decide to send it back. They also confirmed that the dovetail saddle on the lx 80 is compatible with the AR6 Meade scope I presently have. I would eventually like to get to AP. It is bugging me a bit so I will give it another go before I decide to send it back. Espe [/list] cially after Jacks experience above. Any other advice?
I really like the mount but for AP, I'd look elsewhere. I'm still trying to work that out for my mount. I like it enough that I'll get a second mount for AP if I need to.
Posted 06 November 2012 - 06:35 PM
The Meade knobs on their so-so saddle, you can keep the Meade knobs in but need to mount the new saddle with it's knobs pointed down, the Meade spacing is similar to the Farpoint knob spacing so the knobs interfere with each other if you try to mount it with knobs pointed up. Set screws lock it in solidly. I believe they were 20mm long.
I must be a bit dense! Do you replace the original saddle with the new one? Could you post a picture?
Posted 06 November 2012 - 07:37 PM
I think they just recently started using the normal looking vixon type dovetails, maybe because of the new mount. Although I am not sure which kind they used many years ago.
Posted 06 November 2012 - 11:52 PM
My Meade saddle has a cutout in it so you better have at least a 5" long Vixen scope rail to put into the Meade saddle. The new Farpoint saddle will accomodate most any length Vixen style rail because it has no cutout.
Posted 07 November 2012 - 12:56 AM
At least now there is a cure for this problem. Good find Brokenwave.
Posted 07 November 2012 - 12:59 AM
Excellent, The Farpoint saddle sounds like the cure to the LX80's saddle problems. The cutout in the LX80's saddle is why my Meade dovetails would pop out. It would of been nice if Meade would have tested out their very own dovetails on their mount. I can't see how they missed something like this.
At least now there is a cure for this problem. Good find Brokenwave.
The saddle on your mount had a cutout? Mine has straight sides with the 2 locking bolts on one side. Maybe 6 inches long. The finish isn't the greatest but functionally it is just like my CG5.
Posted 07 November 2012 - 06:15 AM
Yes my Meade saddle had a cut out just like Brokenwave describes in his last post on the bottom of page 1. This is very interesting. Your saddle doesn't have this cut out and you don't have the play in your RA or DEC axes that others do.
I am wondering if Meade possibly has made some improvements in the mount and you got one of these improved versions. This would be good news if they have fixed these two problems. Although its unfortunate for others who are stuck with older versions. And if they don't rotate stock then there's no telling which mount others will get. If all this is true then a recall would have been better.
Of course this is all speculation until it has been verified. But I think someone had said that in the past there was another mount that had some problems on initial release but they slowly put out an improved version without recalling the first ones. Maybe other mounts like yours will pop up soon.

I don't want to give Meade more credit than they deserve... My saddles have the cutout also. No slop in either axis but cutouts are still there. It has been raining and cloudy for so long I forgot what they looked like. My memory the last few years is slipping! Sorry for the false information.
I have fairly long dovetail bars on my scopes so the notch hasn't presented a problem.

We upgraded Zimbra to 7.1.1, and an Outlook user reported this error message:
Zimbra Outlook Connector License Failure
Zimbra Connector for Outlook is not compatible with this edition of the Zimbra Collaboration Server. Please visit our website to find out more.
The issue was resolved with this sequence:
- Closed Outlook and rebooted
- Opened Outlook, and it indicated a server update was required
- OK'd that message
- It then wanted to reboot
- When it came back up all was normal and functioning
The laptop owner was on the road so I didn't get to see any of this first hand. Thought I'd post this in case it's accurate enough to be helpful.

I would give yourself plenty of time and rest. Especially if you are heading into high elevations coming from Oklahoma. Pushing the limits of exhaustion is a good way to get injured and not have a hunt at all.
My recommendation is to leave early (say 6 AM), get in late (1 AM), sleep in the next day, relax, get a full nights sleep, then hit the trail fresh and early the following morning.

U.S. House Subcommittee recommends $1 billion For FY2014 maintenance dredging
June 19, 2013 - LM Editorial
For the second year in a row, the U.S. House Energy & Water Subcommittee, chaired by Rep. Rodney Frelinghuysen (R-NJ), has approved a $1 billion draw from the Harbor Maintenance Trust Fund.
The money is for maintaining America's deep-draft navigation channels and harbors and is as part of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' fiscal 2014 funding bill. If passed by the Senate and enacted into law, this would be the largest regular annual appropriation for navigation maintenance.
As reported in LM, the bill by the House Appropriations Committee stated that, in prioritizing funding, the subcommittee chose to "invest in critical infrastructure projects to protect lives and property and support economic growth."
"While still less than the need for full use of the Harbor Maintenance Tax (HMT), this funding amount in a tightly constrained budget is a positive step toward ensuring that the HMT is fully utilized to maintain our nation's federal navigation channels at their constructed dimensions," said AAPA President and CEO Kurt Nagle. "We greatly appreciate the leadership of Chairman Frelinghuysen and the subcommittee for recognizing this important national priority."
The $1 billion appropriation approved by the subcommittee is $110 million more than the Administration requested in its fiscal 2014 budget earlier this year. However, the annual revenue collected from the HMT for maintenance dredging is approximately $1.6 billion.
For many years, AAPA has urged Congress to utilize 100 percent of the Harbor Maintenance Tax for its intended purposes rather than allow the money to build up in the already bloated Harbor Maintenance Trust Fund, which is growing at a rate of about $1 billion per year and is estimated will contain more than $9 billion by the end of fiscal 2014.
Last month, AAPA sent letters to lawmakers in both the House and Senate urging them to guarantee full utilization of HMT revenues to achieve efficient 21st century freight movement.
Logistics managers should be heartened by the news that this issue may finally be resolved.

Dear Zimbra people.
What's your business model? Do want to earn money with servie only or are you considering to become a hosting service?
I'm wondering whether Zimbra would make a good companion to Alfresco. That would require to drop Zimbra Store in favour to the Alfresco respository.
A good chance to reduce avoid the digital divide.
But I see the very different web client implementations: JSF at Alfresco and a more sophisticated AJAX solution at Zimbra.

A great idea! I used to make these for each of the kids in my class and left them in baskets in the center of the tables. They were allowed to play quietly with them during verbal instruction. It helped calm lots of other fidgety behavior!

I love these, and I was laughing so hard when you mentioned "fun bags"! I was thinking about making a set of sensory balls for Emily, but didn't really know what to fill them with, so thank you for all the ideas!!

That's a good idea. The fabric swatches Montessori uses can be a bit boring and mine aren't fond of the blindfold. Although with some of the comments about the differences between my 3yo girl's and 2yo boys anatomy, I may have to think of yet another name for this!

PUBLISHED Sat Jul 10 16:03:00 EDT 2010 0 1 / 5 Tombs Emerge From Egypt Sands Workers and archaeologists stand at the 4,200-year-old site of two rock-hewn Egyptian tombs recently excavated near Cairo and unveiled Thursday.Featuring boldly painted false doors, the tombs are the last resting places of Shendwa, head of the royal scribes under Pharaoh Pepi II, and his son Khonsu, also a scribe. Both were members of the literate ruling class during ancient Egypt's Old Kingdom (2686 to 2160 B.C.), during which most of Egypt's pyramids were built (ancient Egypt time line).Occupying a thousand-square-foot (300-square-meter) site, the tombs were found in the royal burial ground at Saqqara (map)—strangely far from the tomb of Pepi II."We never expected to find a tomb that belongs to [the period of] that king" at the dig site, said Abdul Hakeem Karar, director of the Saqqara necropolis for Egypt's Supreme Council of Antiquities.(Related King Tut pictures: "DNA Study Reveals Health Secrets.")—Andrew Bossone in Cairo Photograph courtesy Egypt Supreme Council of Antiquities False Door The newfound tomb of Shendwa includes a false door inscribed with his name and titles, a standard ancient Egyptian prayer, and a picture of the deceased at an offering table, archaeologists announced Thursday. (Translate your name into hieroglyphs.)Found in tombs from all periods of pharaonic Egypt, false doors were believed to enable contact between the realms of the living and the dead.

According to tradition, the offerings would have passed from the table to Khonsu via the false door.The arrangement would "keep him in touch with his relatives," Karar said. "They gave him food and supplies all the way through the afterlife."(Download Egypt wallpapers.)

Found just under Shendwa's false door, the shaft is about six stories below ground level.Though humidity and erosion have disintegrated Shendwa's sarcophagus, his burial chamber does hold some comparatively durable goods, including the foot-tall (30-centimeter-tall) obelisk at rear in the picture."This obelisk is a symbol of worshiping the sun god Re," Zahi Hawass, secretary general of Egypt's Supreme Council of Antiquities, said in a press statement.(Also see "Pharaoh Seti I's Tomb Bigger Than Thought.")

The nearby tomb of his son is about 3-by-1.5 meters (9.8-by-4.9 feet).Karar, archaeological director of the Saqqara necropolis, said getting down into the tombs for excavations "was difficult, but you know, we do that all the time."(The National Geographic Society owns National Geographic News.)

Ford F-1 Windshield Replacement - Interior DecoratingWritten by on October 1, 2009 Keeping The Elements Out
If you're a customized classic truck aficionado there probably aren't too many challenges related to building one that you find intimidating. And while we like to put ourselves in that "willing to try anything once category" the truth is one thing we've always been hesitant to attempt is installing a windshield. Let's face it, glass is weird stuff-how can it be tough and fragile at the same time? And how do you deal with something that is both?
When we decided to update the interior of our F-1 it was obvious the windshield and back glass rubbers would have to be replaced. As happens on most vintage trucks, the rubber seals around both had deteriorated and as a result each leaked in several spots. Driving in the rain or hosing down the half-ton created several little mini waterfalls running off the dash and down the back of the seat-with the old trashed interior it didn't matter much so it was simply a matter of mopping up, but with the all the updates planned, the cab had to be made watertight.
No Pain in the Glass
As the windshield and back glass were to be reused we figured taking them out was best done with an extra set of hands to prevent disaster. Removing the glass is simply a matter of using a razor blade to cut away the lip on the rubber gasket that fits over the opening in the body. One lip is thinner than the other (the inside of the windshield gasket and the outside of the rear window gasket in this case) consequently it will be easier to cut. However, even with the gasket's lip sliced away the glass may still be stuck in the opening. It's not unusual for some sort of sealer to be slathered on to cure a leak and they tend to glue the glass in place. Resist the temptation to stick something under the edge of the glass and pry-that's a sure way to crack the glass. Instead, use the palm of your hand and slap the glass around the edges until it comes loose. Once the glass has been removed inspect the area where the rubber fits carefully. At the very least a thorough cleaning will be required and chances are good some repair will be required-and now's the time to take care of it.
Installing the windshield and back glass is surprisingly easy. We ordered new rubber from Sacramento Vintage Ford and an installation kit that consisted of a length of cord, hand cleaner to be used as a lubricant, and last but not least, instructions that are worth the $5 the kit goes for.
With the new seal on the glass, the cord is placed in the groove in the rubber that fits around the lip of the body. Then the glass is placed in the opening (the windshield goes in from the outside, the rear window from the inside) the cord is pulled out and away from the glass, rolling the rubber over the lip of the opening.
Venting Frustrations
Plugging all the Ford's water leaks meant we also had to deal with the F-1's cowl vent. In the past we've filled these in, but we discovered having one that was operational had some advantages-when cruising with the windows down, opening the cowl vent actually cuts down on the wind buffeting inside the cab. Replacing the cowl vent seal requires removing the entire assembly, which is a process that makes one appreciate the engineers who designed the apparatus. With the knob removed from the handle there's just enough room to work the assembly up and out of the cowl-1/16 inch added to any dimension and it would take a cutting torch to get it out. Like replacing rubber seals on the glass, cleaning the mating surfaces is the most time-consuming part of replacing the cowl gasket.
Making a Clean Sweep
While we were making the truck's cabin watertight we opted to continue preparations for foul weather and installed a new windshield wiper system from Bob Galbraith's New Port Engineering. Frankly, there's not much to say about New Port's offerings, they make kits for over 150 applications and every one we've ever used fit perfectly and functioned just as it should. Every aftermarket part should be this simple to install and work as well.

To clean the windshield opening Manny used an air driven wire brush. The moral of the story here is to fix leaks as soon as they develop to prevent extensive damage. While we were at it we stripped the dash and repainted it-but that's another story.Another problem area on early trucks is the cowl vent-ours had a significant leak. The screws holding the lid onto the assembly are accessible from the outside when the vent is open.In our case there was considerable rust under all the rubber seals so we had no choice but to grind it off. The bare metal was treated with self-etching primer and some of the paint had to be touched up.Depending on the condition of the metal there are a variety of options for preparing the body for new rubber gaskets-we used a wire brush; abrasive discs; and even a small, handheld sandblaster.The windshield rubber from Sacramento Vintage Ford is an exact duplicate of the original, the wide side of the gasket goes to the outside of the cab.An F-1 cowl vent gasket serves a dual purpose; it seals the assembly to the cab as well as the lid to the body when it's closed. We used a bead of weatherstrip adhesive to hold the rubber in place during assembly.With the rubber glued on, Tex Smith slipped the freshly painted cowl vent back in place. Make sure the screen is in good shape because at speed these make a great scoop for all sorts of debris-including really angry yellow jackets.Screws from the outside hold the cowl vent in place. We used nails to align all the holes and hold the rubber in place while all the screws were started.
Here the seal has been positioned on the back glass-in this case the wide side of the rubber goes to the inside of the cab.After the rubber is in place on the glass, starting at the top of the glass the cord is worked down into the groove that fits over the lip in the windshield opening.Now here's the fun part. With a helper applying gentle pressure from the outside and the ends of cord inside the cab at the top of the glass, gently pull the ends of the cord down and away from the edge of the glass, rolling the rubber over the flange.Alternate pulling each end of the cord about a foot while your helper applies pressure and gives the glass a few slaps with the palm of their hand.Here's the finished installation, we successfully "roped in" our first windshield. The rear glass was done in the same way; the only difference is it was installed from inside the cab.This seemed like a good time to replace our ailing windshield wiper motor, with a new two-speed, self-parking system from New Port Engineering. A new motor, switch, mounting bracket, and linkage arms are included.
The entire wiper assembly is compact; it clears the stock cowl vent and leaves room for A/C. To add support to the motor, a brace attaches to the lip of the dashboard.While we were at it we dressed up the cowl with new windshield wiper bezels and nuts from Sacramento Vintage Ford.At this point couldn't use parts-house wiper arms and blades, so we went for these stainless replacements also from Sacramento Vintage.

Item # FRS0181
Don't worry though, we have a lot more 26-inch Suspension Forks in stock than that.View Similar Products
FOX Racing Shox 36 Talas 26in 180 FIT RC2 Fork - 2014 $0.00
The Fox 36 Talas 180 FIT RC2 Fork makes the leap from a 180mm huge-hit-gobbler to a 140mm climb-crusher at the flick of a switch. The combination of 36mm stanchions, a 20mm thru-axle, and an incredible amount of bushing overlap make the Talas 180 ultra-stiff in either setting, so you can point and shoot at will.
Equipped with the FIT RC2 damper, a cartridge unit that uses an expandable bladder to seal suspension oil from air, it provides consistent action during heavy-duty use. The damper has both low- and high-speed compression tuning. This means you can dial the fork to offer a bob-reducing, pedal-friendly platform with the low-speed adjustment. Or back it off for plusher, small-bump compliant ride. The high-speed adjustment lets you find your preference for large hit resistance. This versatility lets you set the Talas RC2 for optimum trail manners whether you've got a monster climb or want to blaze the descent.
The Talas is outfitted with an air spring that not only keeps weight down, but also has a highly refined curve. It's tuned to provide a plush ride at the top of the stroke with a progressive ramp up to avoid bottoming at the end. While air springs are notorious for their added stiction from the need for airtight seals, Fox reduces this as much as possible by using its Kashima coating, a process that fills any micro pores and makes the aluminum stanchions incredibly slippery.
The 2013 Talas 36 180 FIT RC2 Fork's lower legs and crown is powder coated in Black. It has a 1-1/8 to 1.5in tapered steerer tube and only accepts 8in post mount disc brakes. The beefy 36mm chassis is stiff and strong, and made even better by the inclusion of a 20QR thru-axle system.

Cyclones Comeback Falls Short
NORMAL, Ill.- A red-hot Iowa State comeback came up just short as the Cyclones fell 4-3 to the Illinois State Redbirds in a exhibition game in Normal, Ill.
Iowa State played the Redbirds tough in the first half heading to the locker rooms down only 1-0. Illinois State, the Missouri Valley preseason favorite, scored two quick goals to start the second half.
After the 71-minute mark it was all Cyclones with a penalty kick score by Theresa Kucera. Hayley Womack, a junior, scored goals in the 79th and 86th minutes and would not let the Cyclones slip away displaying craftiness around the goal to get the two scores. The two upperclassmen took the latter part of the game over but simply ran out of time to make the complete comeback.
"We had an incredibly sluggish start in the first half and never really picked up momentum in the first 45 minutes," head coach Wendy Dillinger said. "Illinois State was very good today. They stretched us defensively and exposed some weaknesses that we need to address. This game was exactly what we needed before the start of the season."
Cyclone goalkeeper Maddie Jobe recorded five saves in the exhibition playing all 90 minutes of action. The senior had 74 saves last season.
Senior Jennifer Dominguez, an All-Big 12 performer last season, assisted Hayley Womack on her second goal.
Overall 23 Cyclones played in the contest. Nine freshman gained valuable experience with Kourtney Camy earning a start for the game.
The Cyclones kick off the regular season against South Dakota State Friday August, 23 at 6 pm CT in Brookings, S.D.

Video: State Rep. Tyrone Brooks indicted on fraud, tax charges
ATLANTA -- A federal grand jury has indicted State Rep. Tyrone Brooks (D-Atlanta) on charges that he misappropriated nearly $1 million in charitable funds from Universal Humanities and the Georgia Association of Black Elected Officials.
"This is a disappointing day. Representative Brooks has done much good in his life, both as a state legislator and civil rights leader. But the indictment charges that over many years, Representative Brooks misappropriated nearly one million dollars in charitable donations intended to provide literacy training in underserved communities, and from GABEO - the organization for which he has served as president since 1993. Sadly, by diverting these funds to his own use, Representative Brooks deprived those most in need of critical assistance," said US Attorney Sally Yates in a statement Thursday afternoon.
Brooks was charged by a federal grand jury in a 30 count indictment including charges of mail, wire and tax fraud. The indictment charges that from the mid 90s through 2012, Brooks solicited contributions from individuals and corporate donors to combat illiteracy and fund other charitable causes, but instead, used the funds to pay personal expenses.
The indictment says that Brooks solicited funds for a tax-exempt charity created by Brooks in the early 90s, Universal Humanities between 1995 and 2012, but that Brooks used the donations to pay personal expenses for himself and his family.
The federal indictment says a second, but related scheme, says that Brooks diverted charitable donations on behalf of GABEO were also diverted to pay personal expenses for himself and his family.
According to the indictment, Brooks substantially underreported his income to the IRS for the years 2007 through 2011. It said that despite the misappropriation of funds from Universal Humanities and GABEO, Brooks reported income of only $35,000 annually.
The mail and wire fraud charges carry a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison and a fine of up to $250,000. The tax charges carry a maximum fine of 3 years and a fine of up to $100,000.

RIDGELY, Md. (WUSA) -- A 58-year-old woman is charged with first degree murder after allegations that she killed her father on his 90th birthday, say Maryland State Police.
Janice C. Cohee is charged with first and second degree murder, first and second degree assault, manslaughter and reckless endangerment after calling 911 to say her father was dead on Monday. When deputies arrived at the home in the 12000 block of Ridgely Road in Ridgely, Md., they found Janice Cohee sitting outside, and her father, Arthur Cohee, in a chair in the kitchen. Maryland State Police say he had "obvious trauma to his head and neck."
Police say Janice Cohee told authorities that two men had broken into their home wanting money and had assaulted her father. She claimed she was hiding in another room.
Police, however, determined her statement to be false based on the evidence they found at the home and also with Janice Cohee. Some items have been taken to the Maryland State Police Forensic Sciences Division laboratory to determine if they were used in the assault.
The body of Arthur Cohee, who turned 90 years old Monday, was transported to the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner in Baltimore for an autopsy to determine his cause and manner of death.
Janice Cohee is being held in jail without bond. A motive for Arthur Cohee's murder is unclear at this time but police say they continue to investigate his death.

Bugaboo Pushchairs & Bugaboo Prams
Compact yet complete for parents who live life on the fly.
Bugaboo answers the call of the modern, mobile parent with the compact, easy and nimble Bugaboo Bee that grows with your child from newborn to toddler.
When space is at a premium, the one-piece, foldable Bugaboo Bee delivers. From newborn to toddler, it's slim enough to navigate even the tightest spots and folds compactly to fit in the most crowded closet or taxi trunk.
Collapse the pushchair, reverse the seat, adjust the backrest and sun canopy height, extend the length of the seat bottom and recline to one of three positions with one hand. Use the baby cocoon and the Bugaboo Bee meets the comfort of infants, remove it and adjust the seat to suit toddlers. Adaptable to infant car seats too.
An aluminium frame, small swivel wheels, one-piece handlebar, and 4-wheel independent suspension makes maneuvering through subway platforms, grocery aisles, and crowded boutiques a one-handed task.
The ultimate in versatility for parents who want it all.
The Bugaboo Cameleon is ready to go – for infants and toddlers, to the city or to the beach, and in winter or in summer.
You can create a Bugaboo Cameleon that is just right for you – by choosing the colour, the fabric, the seat or bassinet and even the height of the handlebar.
Our first modular pushchair is incredibly simple to use. The reversible and independent seat and bassinet enable you to turn the pushchair around so your child is either facing you or facing the world. The height of the handlebar is easy to adjust and a car seat can be clicked into the chassis so you're ready to go in no time.
Small swivel wheels at the front help you to navigate tight spaces using just one hand as you're strolling through the city, while the adjustable suspension keeps you rolling smoothly whatever the terrain. On rougher roads, you can reverse the handlebar so the big wheels are at the front – making it easy to glide over any bumps that come your way. And, when you're at the beach, you can click the pushchair into a two-wheel position to make easy work of sand – the same position is also ideal for travelling over snow.

The National Weather Service has confirmed that a powerful spring storm system spawned 12 tornadoes in six states in recent days.
Forecasters confirmed three tornadoes in Missouri, including two in the St. Louis area; three each in Arkansas and Alabama; and one each in Louisiana, Mississippi and Georgia.
Emergency officials said three people were killed in the storms, which unleashed tornadoes and winds strong enough to peel the roofs from homes in the Deep South and heaped snow and ice on the Midwest, leaving thousands without power.
The weather service is predicting that another storm system will bring wintry weather to the north-central U.S. starting Saturday afternoon, potentially bringing 6 to 12 inches of snow to parts of eastern Montana, much of North Dakota, northern South Dakota and northern Minnesota.

How to Treat (and Avoid!) Summer Skin Problems
Stop that itch!
by Aviva Patz
Few things are more maddening than an itch. And summer is prime time for all kinds of creepy-crawly sensations, often accompanied by mysterious lumps, bumps, cracking, crusting, swelling, and oozing (delightful!).
"Most itching has an obvious cause, such as bug bites or dry skin," says Ronald Brancaccio, MD, director of the Skin Institute of New York and clinical professor of dermatology at New York University School of Medicine. "But sometimes an itch or the rash that goes with it can be hard to figure out, even if it has a straightforward cause like an allergic reaction."

RUSTON, La. -
After months of ongoing speculation and years of positioning itself for the opportunity, Louisiana Tech University accepted an invitation to join Conference USA during a press conference held Friday on Karl Malone Court in the Thomas Assembly Center.
Tech, which has been a member of the Western Athletic Conference since July 1, 2001, will officially become a member of Conference USA in an all-sports move starting July 1, 2013.
University President Dan Reneau said Friday's announcement is the culmination to years of hard work and dedication by university administrators, coaches and student-athletes.
"This is the dawn of a new era for Louisiana Tech University and a goal we have worked very hard over the past several years to achieve," Reneau said. "I want to publically acknowledge the efforts of Bruce Van De Velde and his team as well as dedicated alums such as Terry Bradshaw and the Davison family, who were instrumental in helping tell our story and promote our vision for the future of Louisiana Tech Athletics.
"Above all, I want to thank the Tech Nation for their loyal support and commitment to the athletics program. You are the spirit of Louisiana Tech and an inspiration to our coaches and student-athletes."
Tech is one of five institutions that accepted a bid to C-USA along with North Texas, UTSA, Florida International and UNC-Charlotte. The five will join existing members Southern Miss, Tulane, UAB, Marshall, East Carolina, Rice, Tulsa and UTEP to form the 13-team league. According to the league office, additional expansion is possible and divisions will be set in the near future.
Conference USA welcomes Louisiana Tech's 16 NCAA Division I sanctioned sports (9 women's, 7 men's) that have combined to capture 29 team titles during its 11-year membership in the WAC.
"Located right in the heart of our Conference, we are so pleased to be able to start this association," said C-USA Commissioner Britton Banowsky, who was present at Friday's announcement. "The more you learn about Louisiana Tech, the more you appreciate the fine programs they have in place. They have a great tradition, and a wonderful vision for excellence in the future. They will make a great addition to the Conference."
Most recently, the Bulldog football team won the 2011 WAC title and competed in the San Diego County Credit Union Poinsettia Bowl where it fell 31-24 to 18th ranked TCU. Head coach Sonny Dykes returns the nucleus of that team, including 2011 Ray Guy Award winner Ryan Allen.
The Lady Techster basketball program, which boasts a rich tradition which includes three national titles, 13 Final Fours and 27 NCAA Tournament appearances, captured eight regular season titles and five conference tournament titles as a member of the WAC. The Lady Techsters are currently coached by former All-American, two-time Olympian and WNBA all-star Teresa Weatherspoon.
Tech's women's track and field teams have also been dominate in the league, winning six of the last eight indoor titles and seven straight outdoor titles while boasting numerous All-Americans.
Under the direction of first year head coach Michael White, the Bulldog basketball program - which boasted the eighth youngest team in the country - knocked off perennial NCAA participant Utah State and WAC regular season champion Nevada on its way to the WAC Tournament championship game this season.
The University has produced some of the top names in sports, including Hall of Famers Terry Bradshaw, Karl Malone, Teresa Weatherspoon, Willie Roaf, Fred Dean and Leon Barmore. Some of Tech's top current professional athletes include Tramon Williams (Green Bay Packers), Paul Millsap (Utah Jazz) and Josh Scobee (Jacksonville Jaguars).
Louisiana Tech's student-athletes also continue to shine in the classroom, recording a 72 percent four-year graduation success rate (NCAA Federal Graduation Rate Report, 2011), which ranks as the second highest in the state among Division I football-playing public institutions. The Bulldog football team recorded a 75 percent graduation success rate, earning the 2011 Academic Achievement Award presented by the American Football Coaches Association.
Tech saw eight of its 16 NCAA sanctioned programs record their highest multi-year Academic Success Rate (APR) this past year. All 16 of Louisiana Tech's NCAA sanctioned programs will be penalty free in 2011-12.
Other recent athletic department achievements include:
Louisiana Tech ranked in the Top 10 in the Excellence in Management Cup (Texas A&M Laboratory for the Study of Intercollegiate Athletics) for three straight years (joining only Kent State, Utah State and Boise State). The award recognizes which athletic departments win the most championships in accordance to financial expenditures.
Louisiana Tech recorded its best finish ever in the Western Athletic Conference Commissioner's Cup this past year behind the strength of championship performances by women's basketball, women's indoor track and field and women's outdoor track and field.
Louisiana Tech won the NCAA Pack the House Challenge for the Western Athletic Conference for the fifth consecutive year. LA Tech is the only program in the country that has won the award for its respective conference all five years.
Louisiana Tech won the 2010 Turnkey PRSIM Award (University of Massachusetts Amherst Sports Management Program).The PRISM Award (Professionalism, Results and Innovation in Sport Management) recognizes colleges for managerial excellence across four areas: marketing/branding; fan development; community relations; and customer/client service.
Louisiana Tech was one of only five schools (joining Texas, Oklahoma, Florida State and Stanford) that had at least one student-athlete selected in each of the NFL, NBA, MLB, WNBA and National Pro Fastpitch (NPF) Drafts in 2010.
Louisiana Tech's soccer team was instrumental in the University earning a spot on the 2010 President's Higher Education Community Service Honor Roll. It was also recognized by the Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS) for its leadership among institutions of higher education in Louisiana in supporting volunteerism, service-learning, and civic engagement.
Academically, Louisiana Tech is north Louisiana's only Carnegie Foundation Research University/High Research Activity (RU/H) and SREB Doctoral Four-Year 2 Research University. It's ranked as a Tier One National University in US News & World Report's 2012 Best College Report.
The University also boasts an average freshman ACT score of 23.8, which is the highest among University of Louisiana System (ULS) institutions. Tech also has the highest student body graduation rate in the ULS.

I'm trying to figure out a way to allow a our salespeople to attach files (.pdf's specifically) that do not actually live on the client filesystem, but instead live in in on an NFS mount point on the server.
The user interface seems like it could be done using a zimlet, where a the directory structure is returned from the a jsp in JSON form and handled by some kind of tree structure in DWT. Honestly I've not do this yet, because I want to make sure the next part is even posible.
Heres the next (harder) part, I need to figure out how to attach the selected file to an email as a normal attachment. I've looked at the documentation on file uploads and that might work to fill in some of the blanks, but its still got big holes (how do I put the reference into the email). There might be some other way, but none I can think of right now...
So the first and most basic question is, is this even posible with a Zimlet?
If it is, can someone recommend or lead me towards a decent solution?

SAVANNAH, Ga. (WXIA) -- Paula Deen's son, Bobby, who is a Savannah TV personality and chef, has married Claudia Lovera at the embattled cook's Savannah home.
People.com reports the couple, who became engaged in the spring, married in front of about 75 guests, including Bobby's brother, Jamie Deen and his family; Paula's brother, Bubba Hiers; and the bride's family, who now live in Panama City, Panama.
The wedding comes amid the public relations nightmare that has dogged Paula Deen after she said in a lawsuit deposition that she had used racial slurs in the past. Numerous companies dropped Deen, including Atlanta-based The Home Depot, Walmart, and Target.
In an interview with the Savannah Morning News prior to that controversy, Paula Deen had this to say about her son and the wedding that was, at that time, scheduled for the following month:
"I can't keep up with Bobby Deen anymore," said Deen. "Oh, honey, I can't believe the old man is getting married! I'm so proud of him. He's 43 years old but he looks 33.
"He didn't sell out - he really waited for the one that he wanted to spend the rest of his life with. He said, 'Mama, I'm not doing this more than once.'
"We're stepping and fetching around here," Deen added. "It's going to be here at the house. You know how hot it will be, which will be a chore, but we'll deal with it."
Deen described how the couple met.
"She's from Venezuela and was here getting a master's degree from SCAD. He had met her at the gym and knew what kind of person she was. Bobby has never thrown that 'm' word around very much, so when he finally said it, I knew it was the real deal."
Deen said in the interview she had worried he'd never marry.
"One of my biggest worries was Bobby waking up at 80 years old and being a lonely old man," said Deen.
Deen told the paper she would host the wedding, but not cook for it.
"I know my limitations," she says. "I can only tackle so much."

With a few exceptions, like maybe the Demolition Derby or Steve Skinner's Stimulus Package rock band, the Garfield County Fair and Rodeo is probably not all that different in 2012 than it was in 1938, when all this fun started.
There's the parade, the rodeo, cowboys, a midway - and there's 4-H. A staple of the fair long before this year's rodeo queen rode her first horse, Garfield County 4-H promises another healthy crop of cattle, poultry, swine and rabbits.
On Saturday, July 28, start the weekend by taking a look at the club's general projects on display at North Hall at the Garfield County Fairgrounds.
Judges will decide on Tuesday evening, July 31, who decorates the best cake, and performers and models wearing clothes they stitched themselves will get their moment in the spotlight at 7 p.m. on Thursday, Aug. 2 on the Backstage.
Kim Schriver, Colorado Cooperative Extension's interim director of 4-H and Youth Development in Garfield County, said the fair is the culmination of months of work.
"The fairs are an opportunity for us to exhibit what we've worked on all year," she said.
Tuesday is also when 4-H project animals make their entry.
Those who raised a calf purchased it as early as last October. Youngsters raising kids, lambs, piglets and bunnies buy their animals in early spring.
Schriver said the more time a 4-H youngster has to spend time with their animal, the better the results. They have time to train the animal for show, adjust their diet for maximum health and, in the case of swine, make sure they pack on the pounds.
This year, half the rabbit exhibitors as well as several of the beef, goat, and sheep entrants produced their show animals from their own herd.
Judging begins Tuesday afternoon July 31 at the Indoor Arena.
Schriver described three types of competition: market, breeding and showmanship.
In the market shows, judges look for the most market-ready animal, she explained. "It has to be exactly what consumers want to buy."
To become the breeding champion, the animal must demonstrate good mothering skills. Seriously. Remember, these animals will be sold to livestock breeders or kept on the ranch for future stock.
But, when it comes to the showmanship champion, it's the human who has to make a good impression. "It's the hardest," said Schriver, "because it shows how much work you've done."
Showmanship contestants compete within their age group. They all bring their heifers and steers into the arena at the same time - or sheep or goats, depending on the show.
Cattle are led by a halter and lead rope. Goats are led by a chain and sheep are guided by hand. Once in the ring, the animals are made to stand "square." The animal must also stand still.
Belly-scratching is recommended to calm the animal but if it doesn't cooperate, said Schriver, "they do a circle, bring it back and re-set."
Poultry and rabbits are placed on tables inside the arena and must stay put without assistance from the exhibitor. Contestants are then asked questions about anatomy, breeds and upkeep.
Rapport is key in this contest. "You can tell who's worked with their animal and who hasn't," said Schriver, "but sometimes the animals can have a bad day."
Livestock competitions end on Friday, Aug. 2, and culminate with the annual livestock sale on Saturday afternoon, Aug. 3.
Schedules may change so check the website at www.garfieldcountyfair.com for updates.

Out of Stock
Item # RSX000G
Don't worry though, we have a lot more 29-inch Suspension Forks in stock than that.View Similar Products
RockShox SID XX - Solo Air 100 29in MaxleLite15 $0.00
A few ounces over 3lbs, the SID XX Solo Air 29in certainly is one of the lightest big-wheel forks available, but weight is only part of the equation that makes it race worthy. It actually borrows standards used on burlier Rock Shoxs to ensure the light chassis utilizes its 100mm of travel without compromise.
You'll find an aluminum tapered steerer and hollow forged crown, along with a thru-axle, and Power Bulges residing in this fork -- just like the 120mm Reba. But what the SID has over the Reba is an XLoc remote, and Dual Flow damping.
Dual Flow technology features separate circuits for high- and low-speed compression as well as beginning- and ending-stroke rebound damping. This allows the fork to be sensitive to stutter bumps while soaking up bigger hits, so you're in control and comfortable at all times. The beginning-stroke rebound is user adjustable via an aluminum knob that's detented to hold it in pace.
It's located at bottom of the right leg, and it contains a short 2.5mm hex key which serves to adjust the preload tension on the Maxle's lever throw as well. The rest of the damping is factory set to simplify setup and to ensure optimum performance out of the box. Adding control at demand is the XLoc remote that uses a hydraulically-actuated lockout and has an adjustable threshold control.
The XLoc remote button is made from 6061-T6 aluminum and it comes pre-bled, so all you'll have to do is cinch the aluminum housing onto your handlebar with the included hardware. You can install the XLoc with its own clamp, or it can become the top portion of a MatchMaker XX clamp system -- mating the lockout, shifter, and brake lever all into one unit. The entire hydraulic system is 60g lighter than the cable operated PushLoc system.
The stanchions are low-friction, anodized 32mm aluminum tubes with sag gradients to assist in finding the perfect preload settings. Another detail, mentioned earlier, that helps make the SID stiff are PowerBulges around the lower bushings. These eliminate deformation of the cast-magnesium lowers, ensuring smooth action and less bushing and stanchion wear. Tying it all together is the 15mm Maxle Lite, an easy-to-use quick release thru-axle that boosts stiffness without adding any significant weight.
The SID XX uses a Solo Air spring housed in the left leg -- but don't let its name make you think this is some friction laden air spring of years past. The Solo Air design lets you add air through a single Schrader valve, filling both positive and negative spring chambers simultaneously, so it's still a dual air chamber design in a much easier setup for the plush, predictable ride RockShox is known for.
The RockShox SID XX Solo Air 100 29in MaxleLite15 has Black lowers and crown with a 1-1/8in to 1.5in tapered steerer. The lower legs have a post-style disc brake mount and are configured for a 15mm Maxle Lite thru-axle (included).

Do you know what I would need to fit this fork to this bike? Would I need spacers also?
