The Pasadena City College women's volleyball team has earned the No. 12 seed in the Southern California Regional Playoffs as it will play at No. 5 San Diego Mesa on Tuesday, Nov. 26. The first round match is scheduled for first serve at 5 p.m. (Note new start time, 11/25).
The Lancers (14-9, state No. 17-ranked, and the second place team from the South Coast Conference) are making their sixth straight appearance in the postseason. They take on a state No. 5-ranked Mesa Olympians team that finished 23-4 and as co-champions of the Pacific Coast Athletic Conference (PCAC).
If PCC gets by San Diego Mesa, it would face the winner of the No. 4 Santa Barbara City v. No. 13 Citrus match on Saturday, Nov. 30 in round 2.
PCC is 6-5 in its last 11 playoff matches. It hasn't reached the CCCAA State Championships since 1995 when it finished a school-best ever third place at the state tourney.
The Lancers are directed by interim head coach Bill Sanchez, who is assisted by Kari Post and Jerry Checinski.

Eight Pitt County students had to be hospitalized with minor injuries Friday morning after a pipe burst on their school bus releasing steam and coolant.
Dr. Pokie Noland with Pitt County Schools says eight students were sent to Vidant Medical Center in Greenville. Some of the students suffered minor burns from steam after the pipe burst. Other students had leg and ankle injuries as they hurried off the bus.
Three of the students transported to the hospital are Farmville Middle students; five are Farmville Central High School students.
Noland says after the pipe burst the bus driver parked in a nearby church and students evacuated. The church was located on US 13 near Davenport Farm Road.
There were about 50 students on the bus when the pipe burst. Students who did not need medical treatment were transported to school by another bus, according to Noland.
When the emergency call came in, the incident was first reported as a bus fire. Noland says officials later learned it was the burst pipe that caused the issues.
Witnesses say several firefighters were surrounding the engine, which is located at the back of the bus, while children stood safely away from the vehicle.
Traffic was tied up as crews shut down the road to move the students to a nearby church parking lot, but traffic is moving again and there is no detour.

Wildlife trafficking trade stoppage by the U.S. to begin worldwide
Newscast Media WASHINGTON—U.S. experts in investigations of wildlife trafficking
and enforcement of trafficking laws are about to begin duty in Bangkok and Dar es
Salaam, Tanzania, marking a step forward in implementing the Obama administration's
recently announced National Strategy for Combating Wildlife Trafficking.
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) Director Dan Ashe told the House Foreign
Affairs Committee February 26 that overseas deployment of enforcement officers
further demonstrates U.S. commitment to help other governments preserve rare
animals. With congressional and State Department support, Ashe said, his service
hopes to have two agents in Asia, two in Africa and one in Latin America by the end
of 2014. CONTINUE TO FULL ARTICLE>>

I'm looking for some advice on the best spotting scope I can get for less than $400. Right now I am leaning towards the Leupold Sequoia 20x60. I haven't been able to look through one yet because there is no where around here that has a decent selection of scopes in stock. I want a 20-60 power that is reasonably light as I will be using it on back country hunts. I would love to buy a Swarovski or even a high end Nikon like the one I use everyday for work but right now my budget won't allow it.
Also if anyone has a used scope in good shape that might be better than what I can get new I would be interested.

WHEELING - Trailing Brooke 50-43 with just under seven minutes remaining, Wheeling Park went on a 20-2 run, including scoring the final 12 points, to stun the visiting Bruins, 63-52, on Wednesday night.
Senior Andrew Kowalo scored nine of his career-high 17 points and pulled down five rebounds at crunch time to lead the Patriots (5-9). He was one of four Park players contributing double figures as senior Zach Snedeker added 12 points, while Luke Saseen and Chalmer Moffett tossed in 10 each.
The Bruins saw their record slip to 9-6 despite having led by as many as 14 points midway through the second quarter. They hit 50 percent of their shots (13 of 26) during the opening half but made only 6 of 21 the rest of the way.
Article Photos
Wheeling Park's Theo Blackston (34) draws a block on Brooke's Ryan Heaton (30) during their game Wednesday night at Wheeling Park high school.
Park also closed the first half on a roll with a 9-0 run that was sparked by sophomore Moffett's three straight buckets to cut the deficit to 33-28.
The Bruins still enjoyed a 47-41 advantage heading into the final eight minutes and following the 6-foot-4 Kowalo's kiss off the glass, Russell Schwertgeger buried his third 3-pointer of the night to push the lead back out to seven points.
Stickbacks from Kowalo and Moffett pulled the Patriots to within three, and they received a huge assist when a personal foul and a technical was whistled against Austin Shambach after he was closely guarded and stripped of the basketball.
Although Snedecker misfired on the 1-and-1, Kowalo stepped to the free-throw line and swished both technical shots, narrowing the Brooke lead to 50-49.
Playing, the high post, Kowalo then spotted Saseen open underneath and got him the ball for an easy layin that put the Patriots ahead for the first time since it was 11-10 midway through the first quarter.
Ryan Heaton's runner gave the Bruins their last edge and what turned out to be their final points of the game with just under four minutes to play. Snedecker sailed in for another layup sending the Patriots back in front to stay at 53-52. Kowalo then yanked down the rebound after a Brooke miss, was fouled and went back to free-throw line where he knocked down both shots.
Despite his team having won just one of the previous six starts entering Wednesday night's contest, Park coach Michael Jebbia still carried good thoughts about his team's progress.
''Since the first Brooke game, we have played better," Jebbia said. ''I told our assistant coaches after our loss to Steubenville not to write our obituary yet. We are going to keep plugging away. There's still eight games left and five of them are at home.
''Chalmer Moffett gave us a huge lift. We were down 14 and his six points helped cut it to five. Then he hit another huge bucket in the fourth quarter.''
Moffett was on the court for 11 minutes and he provided 10 points and seven rebounds.
''The ball has to go in the hole and it didn't," Bruins coach Dave Reitter said. ''I thought our kids played as hard as they could but Michael's kids have been playing hard all year, too.
''It was just a matter of their shots went in at the end and ours didn't. When they made that big run, we had to foul and they hit their free throws."
Brooke, led by Schwetfeger's 18 points and 16 from Johnson, was seven of just nine attempts from the charity line. Park finished 17-for-25, cashing 10 of 14 in the last quarter.
Along with his dozen points, Snedeker also pulled down eight rebounds as Park won the battle underneath the glass, 36-32.

"Solarbord" is just regular OSB panels with a shiny semi-waterproof thick metal foil on one side. They can reflect more than 90% of the heat away from the wall. They're available at any Lowe's or Home Depot. Solarbord reflects heat away from the inner walls and keeps them a LOT cooler. I'll put up horizontal 1x4 pine boards at top, middle and bottom, all around the building, which act as thermal spacers. Then the R-panel attaches to the 1x4's, leaving a 3/4" air gap between the R-panels and Solarbord. This allows hot air to convect up the hot walls and out the top, rather than cooking the walls. The west wall is shown in the last post, 5482946, and it will get the hottest of all. Using Solarbord and thermal standoffs will keep the wall 30 degrees cooler (or more) than it would be with the R-panels alone. By using Solarbord panels, I'm not sure I'll even need insulation on the interior walls.
Posted 22 October 2012 - 11:21 AM
Thanks for the information!

All Solarbord panels up - I added wall bracing today to keep the walls from bending and being damaged in thundershowers we had today and coming again Friday.
The Solarbord makes the building extremely strong in shear (trying to flex into a parallelogram), but does nothing to strengthen individual walls against high winds. When the tracks are attached above, they will stiffen the walls against bending.

Please correct me if I'm wrong but I always thought that the shiny side of these solar panels had to face the interior.

Yes on the spacious room! Decades ago a club I was with thought they could save some money by only building a 12'x16' building. Bad idea. You end up bumping into the scope, walls, or worktable almost all night. My 16'x18' should be a lot more roomier and more enjoyable.

Mr. Paramount ME will be riding atop the pier. So far, I have two separate OTA's, but more are coming:
1. Takahashi TOA-130
2. 5" Tinsley Maksutov and Coronado PST on same baseplate
Next scopes to come:
My 16" f/6 in a new all-composite super-stiff lightweight tube to be built by Optical Mechanics (I made primary)
10" f/26.5 Maksutov (design done, glass bought, Jerry Logan curve-generated and ready to grind)
8" Herrig (just GOTTA see that one work!)
6" f/10 refractor (I designed and worked the lens on that one)
6" Retro-triplet (my own invention, y'all are gonna like this one)
After that I'm not sure. Depends how soon I retire and can get going on them. Still want to do a big Schupmann and apochromat lens.
Posted 23 October 2012 - 07:20 PM
Posted 23 October 2012 - 09:26 PM
Yeah that pretty much makes me want to do the 10" f/26.5 Mak first. That's only a tiny bit shorter EFL than the AP 10" f/14.6 with 2X Barlow (f/29.2), but I'll have a slightly smaller secondary spot and CO. And, no extra optics in the path. I'll have to work it good to match AP optical performance, though. I like the Flea cameras - so small but so good!

Ah - excellent point Mikey. In other words, don't run the 1x4's continuously around the periphery, but instead leave a gap to improve circulation?

My introduction to serious wheel time at PMY was onboard a Fairline Phantom 43 back in 2000. She was our company boat that year, and I was running numbers with senior editor Capt. Ken Kreisler. Up to this point my boating background had been primarily focused on sportfishermen, and I remember being awed by the 43's high-gloss wood, the volume of her interior, and just how different to me she was.
I also remember what an adventure it was. I had a great time throttling up her Volvo Penta diesels and piloting her up the Hudson River through a summer thunderstorm, dodging seemingly beach ball-size raindrops. She was a nimble vessel and an impressive welcome to the world of boat testing.
Seven years later—and with a few more boats in my wake—I found myself back where it all started, at the helm of a Fairline Phantom. This one, a 48-footer, is the latest from the English builder's line of sleekly styled, family-friendly, flying-bridge cruisers. And unlike my earlier rain-soaked experience, my day onboard the 48 was filled with high skies, a warm South Florida summer sun (at least 150-percent humidity), and checkerboard-flat seas.
Remembering the 43's fine joinerwork and exquisite cabinetry, I was curious to see what had changed and what had remained the same on the newest Phantom. I stepped through the 48's easy-sliding, stainless steel and glass cockpit door, and my eyes filled with the richness of gleaming, deeply stained American cherrywood. (White oak is also available and popular on the European versions of this boat.) Precisely grain-matched wood contrasted with the optional ivory leather settee to port and U-shape seating with hi-lo table to starboard. Fairline's top-level craftsmanship was obviously still there, and perhaps even better.
One noticeable change was the overall feel of the interior. It seemed that the radiuses and curves I remember from the 43 have given way to linearity. Straight lines and 90-degree angles now dominate in the aforementioned settees and the cabinets, both here and in the galley down. The lack of curves also provides more usable floor space and, in turn, a more capacious feel, enhanced by that large sliding-glass door, cabin-length side windows, and dramatically raked front window. The resulting 360-degree view will come in handy should you need or desire to operate the 48 from her lower helm.
As for that galley, I've been on several vessels recently that have had the galley up, enabling the cook to interact with guests. The 48 defies that trend; Fairline opted for the traditional galley down (the Phantom 50 offers the galley up), and it works. Just a few steps from the bridge deck, the fully equipped space is bathed in light by both the overhanging front window and those massive side windows, yet it's within conversational distance of the saloon and helm. Such conversation is made easier by the fact that the 48 is quiet. My decibel readings at the upper helm topped out at 77 dB-A (65 is the level of normal conversation).
Part of the reason for that is acoustical insulation, but part is also her solid build. Fairline starts with a hand-laid solid-fiberglass bottom, then adds a grid-type backbone of full-length foam-cored stringers and transversals spaced about every two and a half feet. The hull and deck are joined both chemically and mechanically and fiberglassed with a three-inch-wide overlap of cloth and resin. The result is a structure Fairline calls a monocoque and I call rock solid.
The sea offered us no place to test that judgment. Her Bernard Olesinski-designed, modified-V hull, which features 18 degrees of deadrise at the transom, purposefully and softly sliced through the flat, cobalt-blue water while her twin 575-hp straight-shaft Volvo Penta diesels ramped up to 2520 rpm, within 20 rpm of their rating. At this speed of 36.5 mph, our test boat registered 0.61 mpg on a 60-gph burn, which with 440 available gallons works out to a 241-statute-mile range.
Her good turn of speed complements her easy handling. I was able to turn the 48 within about two boat lengths at WOT with minimal effort, thanks in part to her power-assisted SeaStar steering and fin-shape Clements rudders. In high-speed turns, the 48 offers slight to moderate heel and a loss of only about 100 rpm. Coming out of them, she was quick to recover.
Her open flying bridge (the optional bimini top was down) provided plenty of exhilaration, but backing into a slip, I was unable to see the starboard-side aft quarter due to the large seating area on the overhang. If I stretched my neck towards the port-side teak steps leading back to the cockpit, I could catch a view of the port corner of the teak swim platform. But anyone backing in will need a cockpit camera or a spotter calling out the distance. That said, I did quite a few close-quarter simulations, from spinning to backing down, and found the 48 to be quick on her feet.
As a set of typical South Florida summer thunderstorm clouds approached, recollections of lightning strikes and those huge raindrops suddenly returned, so it was time to call it a day. Admittedly, conditions on this test day were quite different from those during my first experience on a Phantom. Yet much remained the same. This boat was fast, stylish, eye-catching, roomy, and chockful of artisanal-grade joinerwork. With a pedigree like that, the 48 should have no problem making your short list of top-notch cruisers.
For more information on Fairline Boats, including contact information, click here.
All boats have a base price, which can vary from a little to a lot, depending on what optional equipment you add. I wondered what the options list on our 48 looked like and how it affected the final tally. Turns out that Hull No. 3 (which is actually Hull No. 1 in the United States) sported no fewer than 22 options. They ranged from the obvious extensive Raymarine electronics package and white bimini top to the less-noticeable six-piece lead-crystal highball set and light-mast upgrade. So how far does her base price grow with all those goodies? Try $84,565. And figure on another $18,950 for prep and make ready. But hey, you get what you pay for.—P.S.

These are the types of games that try college football fans' patience.
Why does West Virginia - and nearly ever other major college - play a team from the Football Championship Subdivision nearly every season? What is there to gain from some of these bloodbaths? What chance do teams that normally play in front of 15,000 fans, if they're lucky, have in front of 80,000?
The generic answer is that everyone wins. The higher-level school gets an easy fill-in while scrambling to plug a non-conference hole on the schedule, and, most importantly, a rather easy victory. The lower-level school gets a nice payday, as we saw the last two weeks with mighty - mitey? - Savannah State.
Article Photos
AP File photo
The last time West Virginia and James Madison played — in 2004 — linebacker Adam Lehnortt (10) scored a defensive touchdown with and escort from Mike Lorello (23).
An apparently overrated Oklahoma State team beat the Tigers 84-0 in the opening week (the largest margin of victory a FBS school has on a FCS school in history), then Savannah State turned around and was blanked 55-0 by Florida State. (That game, by the way, was an 11th-hour replacement for what was supposed to be FSU's game against WVU before the Mountaineers moved to the Big 12 and bought it out). The Tigers were bludgeoned in both cases, but they were able to line their athletic department coffers with a reported $860,000 - 17 percent of their athletic budget - and had people talking about the school for a few weeks. Some of that talk was about Savannah State selling itself out, some was about point spreads in the 70s, but it was attention nonetheless.
(They'll get back to anonymity this week against North Carolina Central).
The Division I coaches will tell you another reason they do it is because they don't want to abandon fertile recruiting grounds so playing a James Madison, Coastal Carolina, or a Savannah State keeps your name on the tip of the tongue in states like North Carolina, Virginia, and Georgia. (Yes, so does playing Virginia, North Carolina, and UGA but this just proves some ways of skinning a cat are easier than others).
West Virginia is doubling its recruiting pleasure this week by playing a school from Virginia in the state of Maryland.
The natural thought in games like this is the Mountaineers, ranked No. 8 in Division I, can name the score. Their history against I-AA teams is impeccable, even if its plate might be too full for some taste buds. West Virginia is 12-0 against FCS foes.
The then 19th-ranked Mountaineers, who trailed 13-10 to Norfolk State at halftime last season only to rattle off 45 in the second half to win going away, have played FCS foes in eight of the nine seasons. The average score of those games is 43-7. West Virginia is 1-0 all-time against JMU, having won a 45-10 game in 2004.
Coming into this season, Division I schools had a record of 1,838-396-18 (.820) vs. 1-AA schools since 1978, when the NCAA split Division I football into two levels.
Last year, the big schools posted 91 victories against the small ones. The record for victories by the big boys against the little ones was 1982, when they won 96 games.
That's what happens when the higher-level team has 23 more scholarships and, in most cases, all of the players on those scholarships had either better credentials or better potential than those on the lower level at the time of their recruitment.
But already this season, there have been seven FCS victories against FBS teams, though none of them have involved ranked teams.
That's happened three times - in 1983, temporary I-AA (FCS) member Cincinnati defeated No. 20 Penn St. In 2007, Appalachian St. defeated No. 5 Michigan. And in 2010, James Madison defeated No. 13 Virginia Tech.
''We're going to have to do everything we can to make sure it doesn't happen to us,'' West Virginia coach Dana Holgorsen said Monday.
It's true. The little guys have put up a pretty good fight on occasion, just ask Temple and Buffalo.
Buffalo actually has a losing record against 1-AA schools (3-4). Temple has nine losses to FCS schools. In 1981, Pennsylvania lost to Lehigh 58-0, the largest margin of defeat for a big school against a small one. Division I-AA schools actually have 22 shutouts against Division I counterparts.
In 1978, I-A schools lost 29 times to I-AA opponents, which remains the best year for the underdogs.
Most of the positive history for the small school schools is at least 30 years old. Times are changing. There are a lot more Savannah States out there than there are early-80s Lehigh teams.
Some have called for the practice to be banned. They already say it's immoral; they'd like to see it become illegal.

The find command is pretty nifty:
- find all directories whose name does not contain svn
- find . ! -path "*.svn*" -type d
- remove .svn folders, e.g. after copying a directory which is a local copy of a subversion repository
- rm -rvf `find . -name "*.svn"`
- recursively remove all the .pycs
- alias rmpyc='rm -vf *.pyc; rm -vf `find . -name *.pyc`
- remove the pesky .pycs from the repository
- svn rm `find . -name "*.pyc"`
So is sed:
- replace update_path with load_manifest. (-i is doing an in-place replace, I believe)
- sed -i 's/update_path/load_manifest/' `find . -name "*.py"`

Electrowetting Lens
Application ID: 10029
The contact angle of a two-fluid interface with a solid surface is determined by the balance of the forces at the contact point. In electrowetting the balance of forces at the contact point is modified by the application of a voltage between a conducting fluid and the solid surface.
In many applications the solid surface consists of a thin dielectric deposited onto a conducting layer; this is often referred to as Electrowetting on Dielectric (EWOD). Electrowetting can be used to modify the contact angle dynamically by changing the voltage applied to the conducting liquid. In this example, the meniscus between two immiscible liquids is used as an optical lens. A change in curvature of the meniscus caused by the electrowetting effect is used to change the focal length of the lens over a large range. This model is based on the work of the Philips FluidFocus team.
This model uses the Laminar Two-Phase Flow, Moving Mesh interface and a time dependent study.

Hope he doesn't go to jail and even if he shockingly does, I can't imagine it would be anything more than three months, but there's one thing people are forgetting when discussing his clean record...his juvenile file.
Us fans that keep saying he has no previous record are not privy to his juvenile file - neither is the media. The judge has a endless supply of leeway in his sentencing, he also has the authority to look at his juvenile file (if he has one) and if he does have a juvy record you can bet that will affect his sentence. Legally this is NOT suppossed to be a part of anything on a 23 year old man, but rest assured it will be, you can count on that.
I hope the first 18 years of this young man's life were clean, if not I still can't see him getting much (if any) jail time...but if there's something there? You never know...could do a few months.

1969 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 - Perfection Vs. PreservationWritten by on April 16, 2014 Contributors: Brian Henderson Retaining the Imperfections That Make Each Car Unique
When planning the resurrection of a muscle car, it's a good idea to define the restoration parameters you want. One common school of thought is to restore a car to perfection. This philosophy advocates the correction of assembly line mistakes—overspray, ugly welds, sloppy seam sealer—in the quest for a car that is better than the factory could have ever built. Among the elite restorers in the nation, this approach is favored and certainly appeals to those committed to building the very best example of a particular marque.
These cars weren't show cars when they were built
In contrast to the perfection restoration is the preservation restoration. The advocates of this approach relish the uniqueness of each car as it was built by the manufacturer. Oft-spurned factory blemishes or production line compromises create a unique fingerprint for every car. This clan strives to truly return a car to its exact, authentic, as-born status. The task involves much more painstaking disassembly, the making of photographic records, and the recording of construction techniques. Disassembly is a treasure hunt for factory imperfections and hidden abnormalities.
My sense is that highly skilled restorers given to preservation are in the minority, so finding a shop that is dedicated to a preservation restoration can be daunting. One of those shops is the Super Car Workshop in Latrobe, Pennsylvania. Owner Brian Henderson is well known among Chevrolet fans, especially Yenko owners.
"When we restore them, I try to replicate what we see, no more, no less," says Henderson. "We seek accuracy in the restoration to return the car to the way it was born. We take a lot of pictures before the teardown stage. The goal is to see how the car was assembled. The cars are often very different. It's like going on an archeological dig. If you are going on an archeological dig, you are not going to go in there with a bulldozer; you're bringing a pail and shovel."
Finding a dirty, greasy car is usually preferred over one that's clean and shiny, explains Henderson. "I'm not trying to rewrite the script, I'm trying to follow the script. To me, the differences are what set the car apart. I like the human element that is built into the car. That way the historical record of the car is intact."
Henderson added some vintage speed parts to set the car apart
Jeff Murphy owns this LeMans Blue ZL1 Camaro, number 49 of the limited number built. The car had been a race car, then restored and brought back to stock condition. To the untrained eye, the car looked very presentable, but upon closer examination Murphy realized that his rare Camaro had been "restored badly."
When Murphy first bought the car in 2003, he took it to a couple shows and drag raced it, but in his words, "Every time I raced it, something broke." He sought advice from Henderson, who advised him to restore the car correctly and completely to both preserve the car accurately and make it safe to drive.
"If we duplicate what was done at the factory, we're never wrong," says Henderson. "These cars were built by people, not robots. To take that away—to dress every weld, to fix every flaw—goes beyond restoration to modification. I want the car restored to the way it was built. Ultimately it's a tribute to the factory workers at Norwood and Los Angeles. It sounds a bit corny, but you are trying to preserve for future generations what these cars really looked like—the assembly line techniques, keeping true to the way GM made them. These cars weren't show cars when they were built."

Modern Technology - Be Your Own BroadcasterWritten by on December 12, 2011 Modern Technology is making video cameras small enough, dourable enough -and best of all- cheap enough to mount on your race car. We take a look at some of the best.
Just a few years ago mobile video technology was still developing slowly. Putting a video camera in a race car was cumbersome, expensive, and often unreliable. As such, the only people doing it were the big networks when they broadcast the NASCAR Cup races.
In 2001, the emerging mobile video technology actually had an effect on the outcome of a race when the battery pack a network was using to power the telemetry and video equipment in Robby Gordon's Chevrolet caught fire on Gordon's final pit stop at Watkins Glen. The fire knocked Gordon out of a race that he was likely to win.
Oh, what a long way we've come since then. Today, there are a handful of manufacturers producing cameras recording in high definition, with excellent low-light capabilities, batteries that last for hours (and don't catch on fire), can easily handle the abuse that's just part of the territory in racing, and are barely bigger than a deck of cards. Plus, instead of costing several thousands of dollars, like the old-school network setups, the new cameras mostly ring in at $300 and less.
These small, unobtrusive cameras can be mounted practically anywhere on a race car and the video quality is quite exceptional. Racers can use one to show their friends and family what it's like to actually be behind the wheel of the race car, or it can be used to put together a promotional video to help draw sponsorship interest. But maybe best of all, we have seen racers mounting cameras on the chassis to help them get an idea of what is going on with the suspension as the car rolls through a turn. Most record video directly onto Compact Flash cards, which feature no moving parts and don't wear out, unlike old-school videotape. The files can be opened and viewed on almost any computer, but if you wish to put together something with a little higher production value, they will work with the video editing software available at your local electronics store.
Although they all work basically the same way, each camera system has its own nuances that give each its own strengths and weaknesses. To find out what might work best for you, we gathered three of the most popular options and put them to the toughest test we could think of--a night of dirt track racing. The track we chose is the 4/10-mile Friendship Speedway in Elkin, North Carolina. Friendship is an excellent track that almost always features good, close racing, but the track can get rough and, like practically every other dirt track, it gets pretty dusty by the end of the night. We figured this would be a great test of the cameras' durability, weather sealing, and low-light sensitivity.
To begin, we chose three cameras that stood out as the best options for circle track racers. Our test subjects are the GoPro HD Hero, the Contour GPS, and the Drift Innovation HD170 Stealth. We mounted them to multiple race cars in as many different configurations as we could think of so that we can tell you where they struggle and where they shine. Included in this article are several stills produced directly from the video captures. They appear as they came directly out of their respective cameras with no digital retouching.
GoProSort of like Kleenex, the GoPro brand has started to become synonymous with shoot-anywhere portable video cameras. They are easily the most popular small cameras of this type and can even be purchased at Best Buy stores across the country. Although they all look the same at first glance, GoPro offers several versions of its camera to fit different budgets. At the lower end of the spectrum, the GoPro Hero 960 sells for just $150 but has a maximum resolution of 1280x960 pixels--which is still high definition. We tested the GoPro HD Hero, which shoots in video resolutions up to 1920x1080 and is compatible with a number of GoPro's "BacPac" units which expand the functionality of the camera. And as this story went to press, GoPro announced the second generation Hero, called simply the HD Hero2, which promises sharper images thanks to a glass lens and better low light sensitivity.
The most unique, and possibly best, feature of the GoPro design is that the camera body itself is completely encased in a clear plastic housing. The housing is completely waterproof as well as quite tough, so it protects the camera from the elements like dust, grit, and moisture as well as mishaps such as your race car getting into a wreck. The housing also features a replaceable lens cover element. After several sessions of dirt track racing, we noticed that the camera's output was getting a little blurry because the lens cover element had essentially been sandblasted from all the grit you kick up off the track. So we replaced the element (two for $20, including new O-ring seals) and the camera performed just like new. If you are racing on dirt, a feature like this is a must-have. If you race on dirt, watch out for any cameras with an exposed glass lens element that can't be easily replaced. They will only get scratched after a few races and render your camera practically worthless.
The GoPro has a variety of settings that are all controlled with just two buttons. There is an LCD readout which helps you work your way through the settings, but it sometimes can get a little confusing. Once the camera is set up to your liking, it's really as simple as turning it on with one button and starting the video recording with the other. The video that the camera records is sharp and high quality. Finding the proper exposure can be difficult at night on a racetrack where the lights create sharp contrast, but the GoPro handled this challenge very well. There are two exposure metering modes, the center weighted mode works best in almost all conditions, but if you're mounting the camera inside the cockpit and want to expose for the brightly lit exterior, switching to the center point metering mode will help ensure a great shot.
The camera is also expandable in terms of its features thanks to the unique "BacPac" system. The BacPacs are pieces of hardware that clip onto the back of the camera to provide either a view screen or additional battery capacity. The BacPacs added to the thickness of the camera by about half an inch, so a new back is also included for the case. The LCD Video Backpack costs $79 and is very useful for helping frame your shots and reviewing video at the racetrack. The Battery BacPac essentially doubles your battery capacity which can come in handy for endurance races and sells for $49.
GoPro also sells a rollbar mounting kit as an accessory that works very well. It can be installed without hand tools and is easy to remove and move around to help you get a variety of camera angles. When we wanted to experiment with different shots between heats, it turned out to be the GoPro that we reached for most often because the rollbar mounting kit was the easiest to work with, and we worry less about damaging the camera if we mounted it in exposed areas thanks to the protective case.
Contour GPSThe second camera we tested is the Contour GPS, which packs an unbelievable amount of features into such a small camera. As the name suggests, the Contour actually includes a GPS receiver inside the camera. If you use the included software, the camera downloads the GPS information to provide you a map and speed in miles per hour.
Although it doesn't have a case like the GoPro, the contour is constructed from aluminum and replacement lenses are also available, so it also should be able to stand up to quite a bit of abuse. There is a rear door to access the battery, memory card, and micro USB port. The door seals well but still did allow some dust from the racetrack in. If you want one that is waterproof and should keep out the dust completely, Contour offers a version that is water resistant up to a meter but lacks GPS functionality.
One feature that wasn't obvious at first but really became important the more we used the camera is that the Contour's body is quite small, especially when viewed head-on. It's also flat black which helps makes it less obtrusive. When mounting a camera anywhere in the driver's line of vision, we think the Contour is the best choice because it's the least likely to be a distraction.
Besides the GPS, another innovative feature packed into the Contour's tiny frame is Bluetooth communications. If you own a smart phone, you can use it to link to the camera and use your phone's screen to see what the camera is seeing. This function only works within about a dozen feet, so you can't use it to monitor your driver while he is on the racetrack, but it's really helpful to align the camera for the perfect shot. The contour phone app also allows you to make quick and easy changes to the camera's settings such as the recording resolution and exposure settings.
If you don't have a smart phone, you can still make changes to the camera's settings by connecting it to a computer. The lens also rotates to help you level the view even if the camera is mounted at an odd angle. A really neat trick that the contour uses is two lasers--one mounted on either side of the lens--that are very helpful for aligning your shot correctly. A big switch on top of the camera turns the recording on and off. It's large and easy to manipulate, even with gloved hands.
Contour also has a rollbar mounting kit available. It utilizes a large hose clamp wrapped in rubber to securely mount the device to practically any size bar on your race car without scratching it up. The kit also mounts the camera on a ball joint so that it's easy to orient the camera in practically any angle. On the dirt track this helped us get one of our favorite shots. We mounted the camera to the rear bumper bar and then pointed the camera so that it looked behind the car on a 45-degree angle. This way, when the backend of the car swung out through the turn, we got an excellent shot of any cars trying to take the inside line. However, using a hose clamp means that hand tools are required to mount and remove the system. Although the mount is secure and steady, the time required to pull it off and move it around meant that we basically installed the camera and left it in that position for the night.
The video that the Contour GPS produced was also uniformly excellent. Even in low light, the shots were clear and grain-free. The camera's microphone also did a good job of picking up track and engine sounds without a lot of annoying wind noise.
Drift InnovationDrift's HD170 Stealth is the only camera of the three we tested that comes with a video screen built in. It makes it easy to see what type of shots you're going to get and review your shots between heats. With the display it also makes changing the camera's settings a breeze.
The camera is also unique because it's the only one that offers a remote control for starting and stopping the recording function. With the other cameras we often had to begin the recording when they left the pits. That often meant we'd end up with 10 minutes of the card's memory used up while the car sat in the staging area. The remote control means you can wait until the last minute and start the recording just by walking within 10 feet of the car. Drift Innovation also includes a wrist strap for the remote. This is mostly for the snowboarders but we can see using the strap to attach the remote to a nearby bar and letting the driver control the camera.
The camera is also covered in a rubber skin that protects the internals and has a rear door that seals adequately well against dust. And like the Contour, the lens swivels so that you can keep the view level even when the camera is mounted on an angle.
The HD170 is, however, the biggest camera of all and there is no option for replacing the lens if it gets scratched. Also, the sound recording quality wasn't the best in our tests. Wind noise was obtrusive. Drift does offer an external microphone that should help, but you will have to locate the microphone in an area that's more protected from the moving air and zip-tie the cord back to the camera so that it won't flop around. Drift is, however, producing a new model known simply as the Drift HD that is supposed to be 25 percent smaller with a replaceable lens element. If you're looking into one of the Drift cameras for racing, we definitely recommend the smaller version.
Finally, Drift Innovation doesn't offer a rollbar mount for its cameras. All three cameras can use a suction-cup mount, a smaller handlebar mount (for bicycles but too small for rollbar tubing) and various adhesive mounts. But most racing rulebooks require everything on the car to be securely fastened or strapped down. And while the adhesive or suction-cup mounts might work fine for testing, we don't trust them for racing conditions. As a result, we wound up using zip ties to secure the Drift camera to the rear bumper of the Dirt Late Model we used for testing. Obviously, mounting options are limited with this method, so once we had it securely in place we didn't bother moving it again.
Which One is the Best?Without trying to sound too wishy-washy, the truthful answer is, "It depends." The most important factor is the video quality, and all three are excellent in that regard. A video snob may be able to tell the difference, but we couldn't without playing them side-by-side. To get a look for yourself, we've put up a video with comparison shots from all three cameras on www.circletrack.com. Just go to the video section and check it out.
Otherwise, the best camera for you depends on the features you are looking for. The GoPro offers excellent flexibility, value, and toughness. You can get into the system and add a video screen later if you like. The Contour packs in a lot of cool features and the ball-joint pivot on the mount is the easiest to adjust--once it's on the race car. We also like the camera's slim form factor. The Drift HD170 comes with a video screen built right in and has a handy remote control, but it also seems like the camera least intended for motorsports.
In conclusion, all three were a pleasure to use and provided outstanding results. We think any of these options serves you much better than Robby Gordon was that day back in 2001.
Modern technology is making video cameras small enough, durable enough, and--best of all--cheap enough to mount on your race car. We take a look at some of the best.
These small, unobtrusive cameras can be mounted practically anywhere on a race car and the video quality is quite exceptional

The GoPro HD Hero keeps the camera protected from the elements in a very tough plastic case. This is the camera we were comfortable putting anywhere. For example, after it was covered in mud after hot laps, we simply poured water over it until the mud was gone and then gently dried the protective lens cover. The GoPro's rollbar mount system is the only one that can be installed without tools, which allowed us to quickly and easily move the camera around to test different shots.We loved using GoPro's LCD video screen BacPac system which allows you to check the viewing angle and replay videos right off the camera. The BacPac system clips right on to the camera and includes several backs to the case so you can leave the BacPac in place all the time. But we found we preferred clipping the BacPac on to check the camera position (as you can see here), then removing it and running the camera in its simplest configuration with the video BacPac safely tucked away while the race was going on.The GoPro rollbar mounting system is jointed to allow adjustments in multiple angles. Here, we have two GoPros running simultaneously so that we can capture the driver's view and out the passenger-side window. Later, we can splice the action together into one seamless edit.We also took the cameras to a test session at The Dirt Track at Charlotte Motor Speedway. Here, we were able to use multiple linkages to extend the GoPro's rollbar mounting system so that the camera had a cool look down the side of the car. Your imagination is the limit with a system like this.One very cool feature of the Contour GPS is that it has built-in Bluetooth. By downloading a free app, your smart phone can become a wireless viewing screen to help you frame your shot perfectly and adjust camera settings. You can check the exposure and make changes as necessary.
The Drift HD170 Stealth doesn't have an option for a rollbar mounting system, so we simply zip-tied it into place. The camera features a tough rubber cover and we were quite comfortable that it could handle the abuse.The Contour is very slim when looking at it head-on. Because of this we were most comfortable placing this camera in locations where it can be in the driver's line of sight. Its small size and flat black exterior kept it from being a distraction.Here's a view from the Drift once the sun went down. Although the results are still good, this camera seemed to have the most difficulty finding the best exposure under the harsh track lighting.The Drift has two unique features that the other cameras can't match. First, the HD170 Stealth features a video review screen built right in. It also has a remote that easily lets you turn the record function on and off even when the camera isn't easily reachable. In this photo the camera is still dirty from a hard night of racing. Later, we'll just wipe it off with a damp cloth and it will be just like new.These cameras can also be useful to learn what the car is actually doing on the racetrack. We mounted a GoPro next to the upper shock mount to watch how much the right-front wheel moves as the car rolls through the turn. These cameras have an option to record at 60 frames per second. By using this option you can slow the action down by a factor of two and still get a smooth picture.

|Bennet speaks on USDA Rural Development
|Written by Holyoke Enterprise
Colorado U.S. Senator Michael Bennet met with small business owners, hospital officials and firefighters, along with representatives from Highline Rural Electric Association and the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Monday, Aug. 26 to highlight and discuss the importance of USDA Rural Development resources in the Farm Bill.
Colorado U.S. Senator Michael Bennet, pictured at right, listens
The event was held at Abts Pharmacy in Haxtun, which recently received a $200,000 revolving loan, administered by the Highline Rural Electric Association, to help grow its business. Such loans allow electric associations to provide revolving loan capital for a number of projects in rural communities.
The USDA Rural Development program provides grants, direct loans and guaranteed loans to rural recipients, such as fire districts, small businesses and hospitals. The program has supported everything from a library in Burlington to a hospital in Holyoke to a pizza parlor in Windsor.

I have usual task for this forum: to migrate 6.15/ubuntu8/32 to latest/ubuntu10/64 (or, may be to ubuntu12).
As many of IT-sts with greedy bosses, I used the OSE ZCS. But it lacks the migration/backup internal tools. There are many workarounds I found on this forum, but I never seen the following proposal:
1. NE becames OSE after the trial period expires
2. Upgrading OSE/8/32 to NE/8/32
3. Backing up this old-new installation with built-in zmbackup
4. Installing NE/10(12)/64 onto new server
5. Restoring data, saved on step 3 with built-in zmrestore (or whatever)
6. Killing old server
7. After trial period for new NE/10/64 expires, it becomes OSE/10/64.
It seems to be much easier than other ways I've seen here. Is anything wrong with my idea?
NB. It is just an idea, I did not made such transition because I will not to "steal", and I just want to know what does Zimbra crew thinks about.

As a new head coach who preaches discipline, what do you do with athletes who have broken the law? In my view Chizik knows:
1. He has to set an example, no BS under his reign
2. 2007 will not be the break-through year for Iowa State. Schedule is against it
3. He has time to do the job for ISU
With all of that, I would be very harsh on athletes that break the law, send a message and go get my players for the future. Any thoughts on this?
Gotta stand up at the beginning and lay down the law. If you let your 3 year old get away with it enough, they will never listen again. These are just 15 years older, but not much more responsible.
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety. - Benjamin Franklin 1775
I agree with you guys - he's gotta let them know that they can't get away from this sort of thing. Chizik coached under Brown at Texas, and they usually don't take any BS down there. I wouldn't be surprised to see these guys kicked off the team.
The artist formerly known as SouthernHawk
I agree also...he needs to set the expectations high...otherwise other players could start to test the limits of the coach.

Actually DMac did the same thing when he first came to Ames. Had a few problems with a few players and cut them loose to set an example.
You have to establish the boundry right now. Leave no question where it is. Players know exactly what happens, and decisions make themselves when it's all out in the open.
Everybody has said bounce the player, will you be calling for a new coach if he doesn't? My point is let Chizik coach, why don't we stick to seconding guessing once he's been here for a minute.
As far as depth goes though, the combination of White, Woodbury, Olaseni, Basabe, and Uthoff is much better than Niang, Ejim, Edozie, Gibson. Not because of the top 2, but because of the next 2 or 3. -DeanVogs
Booting guys also gives him a chance to improve the team, with his own recruits.
Let's say he runs the recent three jokers, maybe one of whom is a legit Big 12 player. He now has three more scholarships with which to work with, three more chances to help the team with guys he recruits. No lose situation.
Just curious why all of these posts are straight out calling for them to be removed from the team for one offense? On the other hand GMac we are debating whether to keep Taylor on a third offense. Both are relatively new coaches. IMO, we should be trying to build a school standard that is not sport specific. I am sure JP is letting his coaches make the decisions but I also think he will have some sort of influence.
Good call - while it's important to let coaches work with their players and make decisions that are best for the team, having different standards for every sport probally makes it harder to maintain discipline and gives people different impressions.
Irregardless of what the standards are set to be though (zero tolerance vs some forgiveness), it needs to be tougher than the current ones. Seems like as soon as we resolve one situation, someone else is in trouble

You need to post more to balance out your other half. Actually, I just like your avatar better than his. Also, you don't feel the need to fill half my screen with every post.
Maybe you can knock some sense in to him.
Dont dismiss them. Physically beat them down into the ground with extra workouts. Make them prove they want to be responsible. Make them run till they puke for a month.
Then offer a second chance.
I agree with the sentiment that we have to immediately establish code of conduct that represents the University well and doesn't allow for any possiblity of impropriety.
But, we do need to remember that most head coaches are also trying to help these kids become good people as well as good football players. There needs to be consideration for giving some kids a second chace in order for the coaches to have the opportunity to positively affect them, each situation is unique and should be handled on a case-by-case basis.
One thing that has really impressed me about Chizik so far is his absolute commitment to running an ethical program that truly aims on helping the athletes become better people. At this point, I trust Chizik's decision-making in this area.

I agree with phoria, every case is different. Sometimes people can be innocent and get caught up in the wrong crowd. Sometimes your buddy might get in a fight with a bunch of punks and you jump in to help. This could result in any number of violations. It is certainly alot different than if you had been running your mouth all night and provoking a fight as well.
With that said, these guys aren't Chiziks, he doesn't know their character or background any better than we do probably. If he lets one stay and it turns out to be a bad decision it could definately give the wrong impression to the guys he recruits for himself.
If this is one minor mistake, I think there should be some tough discipline. It will be hard to recruit, if the incoming kids think there is no allowance for a mistake.

|Colorado FSA announces emergency loan availability
|Written by Holyoke Enterprise
On July 30, Governor Dave Heineman requested a disaster designation for three Nebraska counties due to losses caused by excessive rain, hail, high winds and flooding.
Primary counties in Nebraska are Hayes, Perkins and Valley. Contiguous counties include Chase, Dundy, Greeley, Lincoln, Custer, Frontier, Hitchcock, Sherman, Deuel, Garfield, Keith and Wheeler in Nebraska as well as Phillips and Sedgwick in Colorado.
This designation makes all family-sized farm operators in primary and contiguous counties eligible to be considered for low interest emergency loans from FSA, provided eligibility requirements are met. FSA will consider each loan application on its own merits, taking into account the extent of losses, security available and repayment ability.
This determination is coded S2897 and EM loan applications will be received effective Aug. 25, 2009 through April 26, 2010. For the purpose of determining loan security values for these loan applications, the beginning date of the incident period is June 6, 2009.

News Release
ASIS&T Issues Study on Graduate Information Programs and Accreditation
SILVER SPRING, MDThe Information Professionals Task Force of the Association for Information Science and Technology (ASIS&T) has issued a report reviewing the current status of information professional programs and related accreditation activities. The report, Graduate Information Programs and Accreditation: Landscape Analysis and Survey, is available at http://www.asis.org/news.html.
As stated in the report, There is a concern that the proliferation of information programs poses a problem of legitimacy, accountability, consistency, and quality assurance within the information field. This situation led task force chair and ASIS&T President Nancy Roderer to commission, Samantha Becker and Bo Kinney, graduate students at the University of Washingtons I-School, to conduct the study with support from the Council on Library and Information Resources (CLIR).
The report includes the following key findings:
About 900 distinct information-related masters programs exist across 468 institutions. Some are designated as majors and others as concentrations in a major. A total of 220 distinct majors or concentration areas were found in 500 academic units.
Slightly more than one third of the programs are located in four core disciplinary domains: engineering, computer science, information science, and applied information science/informatics.
Of the remaining programs, fully half were found within the business domain. Most of the remaining programs are distributed among biological and health sciences, library science, public administration, communications, and education.
- 60% of the programs have majors or concentrations in at least one of the following categories: information systems, informatics, information technology, and information science.
The studys appendixes provide a directory of masters information programs and profiles of 19 information school programs, including how each is accredited.
In September, ASIS&T and CLIR will cosponsor an invitational meeting of information organizations to discuss the establishment of a new accreditation process for the range of masters degree programs that educate information professionals.
For more on the goals of the Information Professionals Task Force and its efforts, see the ASIS&T Presidential White Paper at http://www.asist.org/news.html.
Since 1937, ASIS&T has been the society for information professionals leading the search for new and better theories, techniques, and technologies to improve access to information. ASIS&T brings together diverse streams of knowledge, focusing what might be disparate approaches into novel solutions to common problems. Information about ASIS&T is available at www.asist.org
CLIR is an independent, nonprofit, organization whose mission is to expand access to information, however recorded and preserved, as a public good. In partnership with other institutions, CLIR helps create services that expand the concept of "library" and supports the providers and preservers of information. Information about CLIR and its work is available at www.clir.org

Hi everyone,
I was wondering if anyone could Id this frame.
It is a 27" (wheels as uposed to seat tube), has shimano rear dropouts and is completlely chromed under the paint.
I thought the seat stays might give it away.
Does anyone know how to strip the paint without damaging the chrome underneith?
Components were a complete mismatch so no clues there I'm afraid!


text: You are on the right track meek, I think you simply need to put more depth to your texture library and use less saturated colors and this would turn out even better. You can also clean up the lines used to draw the walls some parts aren't straight and bits are sticking out. Within GIMP you can use the grid functions to allow your pencil/ink/paint/etc tool to snap to the corners of the grid and using the shift key can draw straight lines from one point to another. Only other suggestion is to do something with the white background and add work on the labeling and this map will look that much better

Scientism, Despotism, Blackmail and The New Carbon Dioxide Regulations
Well, well, well. The Obama Administration is preparing to declare war. No, no you Nervous Nellies, not on Syria. That will be a collective police action where we help Al Qaida by leading from behind. This will be an all-out frontal assault. A veritable Pickett's Charge of the Paper-cut Rangers. President Barack Obama is out to slay
Man-made Cooling, Global Warming, Climate Change once and for all. According to the always entertaining Henry Waxman, it involves his legacy.
"This is an important issue to the president. It's a question of his legacy," said Rep. Henry A. Waxman (D-Beverly Hills), ranking member on the House Energy and Commerce Committee. "Five years from now, people will be talking about what the Obama administration did on climate change, not entitlements or the deficit or whatever they are talking about now. Because climate change is here and real, and we have to address it."
Of course there will be travails before we carve this great and lion-hearted President's
smirking benevolent visage into the hard, enduring granite of Mount Rushmore. But if Congress won't act to protect future generations, Barack Obama will. He currently proposes to issue a new regulation in July that would limit source emissions from Power Generation Facilities to 1,000 pounds of CO2 per megawatt hour.

"Kipling" is the title of a hauntingly melancholic yet somehow beautifully hopeful music video created for the Finnish indie rock band, Magenta Skycode, by Miikka Niemi and his Lapland-based team at Flatlight Films.
We love the way the open space, sparse nature and mythical plot leave room for the viewers' own interpretations. The airiness and subdued light are perfect reflections of the chilly beauty of Lapland where this was filmed in Kemijärvi and Salla.
The voice and the music are those of Jori Sjöroos, Magenta Skycode's founder and main man. The other band members are Niko Kivikangas, Kalle Taivainen, Valtteri Lipasti, Mitja Kiviluoma, Niina Sinkkonen and Jessika Rapo.
We especially love the rhythm that seems to recall a yoik (joiku), the Lapps' ancient form of storytelling by singing. Combined, the video and music bring out thoughts of shape-shifters and shamans, tragic fates and dramatic lives, fear and hope. The man and dog (a white Swiss shepherd) never appear together. Are they the same?
Kipling gained its name from a Rudyard Kipling quote: "Of all the liars in the world sometimes the worst are your own fears." The song ends with a beautiful verse: As your sadness leads you home, will you turn the scene around, moving closer to the stage where your fear ends up afraid?
Kipling is part of Magenta Skycode's second album, Relief, that won the 2010 Finland Emma Award (Finnish equivalent of Grammy) for the Best Indie Album. In 2006, the Turku-based Magenta Skycode's debut album, IIIII, became Finland's Record of the Year. - Tuija Seipell

I am all about the vaginas today, aren't I? That was a trick question; I am always all about the vaginas, because vaginas are wonderful and intelligent and the source of all life. For some reason, #terriblenamesforavagina became a trending topic on Twitter today, and boy, was it not lying. Let's laugh at some of the people who participated.

I need a belt for my sweeper. I am sorry that you do not have belts on this web site. I got this sweeper for my 70th birthday. It has worked well these last 5 years but I do break belts pretty often. I still have bags as my children bought extra bags but I have run out of belts. I would have liked to buy at least 3 belts and maybe some bags too. I called your phone number here on the site and Cindy gave me another number to call but the number is always busy. It is Sunday evening but she should have told me to call tomorrow during business hours if that is correct. I will try again tomorrow while I am at work. June 24, 2012
