Thomas Jonathan (Stonewall) Jackson married twice. His first wife was Elinor Junkin (1824-1854), who died shortly after giving birth to a stillborn son. His second wife, Mary Anna Morrison (1831-1915), was the mother of Julia Laura (1862-1889), the only Jackson child to reach adulthood. Julia married William Edmund Christian; they had two children.
Chart showing Jackson's children and grandchildren
Stonewall Jackson was descended from John Jackson (born ca. 1716 in Ireland; moved to London age 10; d. 1801) and Elizabeth Cummins (b. ca. 1719, London, England; d. 1825). Both were convicted of theft in 1749 in London's Old Bailey court, and were sentenced to seven-year indentures "to some of his Majesty's colonies and Plantations in America." The couple met on board the prison ship Litchfield which departed London in May 1749, and originally settled in Maryland. Both were able to complete their indentures early and they married in 1755. Shortly after the birth of their first child they left Maryland to become pioneers in the area that is now northwestern West Virginia. For more information see Chapter 1 of the notable biography Stonewall Jackson: the Man, the Soldier, the Legend by James I. Robertson, Jr.
Stonewall Jackson ancestors, showing descendants of John Jackson (Stonewall's great-grandfather), through 4 generations.
Jackson was devoted to his younger sister, Laura Ann Jackson Arnold (1826-1911). The other Jackson siblings, Elizabeth (1819-1826) and Warren (1821-1841), died young. Jackson also had a half-brother, William Wirt Woodson (1831-1875), through his mother's second marriage (in 1830) to Blake Baker Woodson (1783-1833). Thomas and Laura shared the memories of a difficult childhood and corresponded frequently in the years after Thomas left home to attend the United States Military Academy at West Point. This close relationship was destroyed during the Civil War. While her brother Thomas emerged as a brilliant Confederate military leader, Laura remained an outspoken Unionist, and she ultimately became estranged from both her brother and other members of the Jackson family. During much the war, her hometown of Beverly, WV was occupied by Federal troops; Laura cared for Union sick and wounded in her home. Her Union sympathies were a topic of conversation among her contemporaries. In a May 1863 letter to his wife, in which he discusses the fighting near Beverly, Mortimer Johnson reports "Mrs. J. Arnold--sister of Gen. Jackson--went off with the Yankees. Arnold stayed at home says he is a good southern man, that his wife is crazy but Hell he says, could not govern a Jackson."
It is not feasible to present online all of the material that is available on the genealogy of the Jackson and allied families. For additional information, see the following website and books:

Nearly half of Westman's rural ambulances don't meet provincial response-time benchmarks when going to an emergency.
According to information obtained through a Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act request made to Manitoba Health by the Brandon Sun, of the 31 rural emergency medical services (EMS) stations in Westman, 15 don't meet the provincial guideline which provides a 30-minute window from the time the call comes in to the time the ambulance reaches the patient.

How to calculate probability of touching a take-profit without touching a stop-loss (no-dividend stock, infinite time)?
a) you can run a Monte Carlo simulation in which you model stock price movements and then you can look at the future pay off as a function of path dependency into which you incorporate your stop losses and take profits. Done this over many iterations you will be able to derive your probabilities. Caveat here is your result will be strongly dependent on your model assumption of how you derive stock price movements.
b) you could run back tests over actual pricing data. You generate trading signals, associated stops and take-profit targets and you derive your probabilities through simple counting processes of how often your stop loss was hit vs take profit targets.
I would strongly prefer the latter approach, this is by the way a very common way to also calculate the quality of entry and exit signals (not using stop loss and target levels but by keeping track of how prices performed after the entry/after the exit).
P.S. I find the question correctly worded and I think it actually makes sense.

Design of Cheltenham, believed to be the first original type contracted to Linotype, began in Boston in 1900. Ingalls Kimball sketched the basic weight while architect Bertram Grosvenor Goodhue completed drawings in 1901. Morris Fuller Benton finished the ATF version in 1902, beating Mergenthaler by two years. In 1906 he drew Bold Extra Condensed, which David Berlow adapted for the SF Examiner, later a Font Bureau release; FB 1989–92

Winston-Salem, NC -- They call it "Sweat Suit Sunday."
"We are probably one of the few churches in the nation that show up in a sweat suit," says church member Joanette Pete McClain.
The man behind the effort is the recipient of our "2 Those Who Care" award. Dr. Walter Mack is the pastor of Union Baptist Church in Winston-Salem. When he sees a need, he works to fix it.
"Begin to recognize that god wants us only only spiritually healthy, not only mentally healthy, but he also wants us physically healthy," says Dr. Mack.
The effort to keep these members healthy is not the only passion for Dr. Mack. He remembers the day he saw a drug dealer on the street outside his church. He decided to try to change this scene. That's when he started a program called "Corner to Corner."
"There was this young modern day prophet that looked me in the eye and just prophesied over my life and guaranteed me that it was going to be a process... That it wasn't going to be an overnight thing," says K.P., a member of the Corner to Corner Program.
"Once I met with them we came up with the idea to have a conference to just meet with the drug dealers and people who live the street life and get them to think about the choices they are making," says Dr. Mack.
The program works with people suffering with various substance abuse problems.
"I told a couple of friends not too long ago I'd either be probably be dead or in prison or in jail or any others because I had no sense of dignity, everything was just streets," says Corner to Corner participant Willie Blue.

Spring 2016 Quick LinksSchedule of Classes
Online OrientationMandatory for some Online Courses
Course Syllabi
Welcome to Catalyst WorkshopsOptional for students new to Catalyst
Welcome! Distance education may be a new experience for you and you may have many questions. This orientation is
intended to answer some specific questions about this course as well as many common questions about Distance education. In
addition, this orientation should help you understand if this class is right for you.
Distance Learning is a great new medium for education; however it is definitely not for everybody. Students who are
successful in distance education are independent learners with good initiative, organization and time management skills. If you
are not comfortable with computers and the internet, if you are not an independent learner, or if you simply prefer traditional,
face-to-face classes, this may not be the right class for you.
Because we don't get to meet face-to-face for class each week it is important that you know how to reach me. You can reach me
in person during my scheduled hours, by appointment or online during any online office hour (check the syllabus for days, times
and location of office hours). You can also always email me and I will get back to you as soon as I can.
Course Goals:
This online course is focused on the development of critical thinking, critical reading and critical writing skills. The academic
(analytical, argumentative) writing is based on a variety of different texts (articles, essays, film, and a novel). The reading and
writing in the course will be coupled with outside research leading to analysis, comparison, self-reflection, and synthesis in
documented research paper.
Course Format:
All instruction will be delivered online. You will be expected to spend up to 12-15 hours per week on this course. This time will
be spent on readings, video lectures, online discussion, research, general assignments, essays, quizzes, projects, etc.
There will be NO on-campus meetings for this course. All of your assignments, including the major essays and final essay, will
be submitted online.
In addition to the absence of on-campus meetings, you also will not be expected to "meet" online on a specific day or at any
specific time. HOWEVER, this is NOT a self-paced class. In general, you will have 4-6 assignments per week and each
assignment will be due by a specific day and time (in general each assignment will be due by 11:55pm on the due date).
Course Materials:
This class will utilize a combination of print and online material. Check the syllabus for required texts. Along with the required
texts, there will be online content such as readings, audio and video. In addition to the required texts and the online material,
you may also be expected to watch readily available full-length films that will NOT be provided through the class. You will need
to rent and view these films on your own within the time constraints of the assignment.
Some Questions:
What is your drop policy?
First week Drops: Students who do not complete the first set of assignments by the date specified on the
greensheet will be dropped from the class. After that, all students are responsible for their enrollment in the course. If
you stop attending this class, YOU MUST DROP YOURSELF OR RISK RECEIVING A FAILING GRADE ON YOUR REPORT CARD. The
college does not allow "W" grades at the end of the quarter, and if you do not drop before the final withdrawal date, you will
receive a letter grade in this class. NO EXCEPTIONS. INSTRUCTOR IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR DROPPING YOU. YOU ARE.
Do I need to know a lot about using a computer?
Not necessarily, but you should be comfortable and competent on a computer and familiar with the web. You will need to be able
to access the Catalyst website, upload and download information, surf the web, etc.
Do I need to own a computer?
Not necessarily, but you do need to have consistent access to a computer with a reliable internet connection. If you do not own
or have access to a computer off campus, computers are available on campus in the Library West Computer Lab, the Library, and
the Advance Technologies Center. You do need an email address so that you can communicate with me and I can communicate
with you. Free email accounts are available from several internet sources, such as Yahoo, Hotmail and Google.
Do I need any special computer programs for this class?
Yes. I will be using iTunes U to provide lecture and instruction videos. Because of that, you will need to have iTunes installed on
your computer to access this content (this can be downloaded free at http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/). You do not
need an iPod; you simply need the free iTunes music player.
Outside of this, you do not need anything special, but you do need some basic programs and general familiarity with them.
You will need a word processing program (i.e. Word, Works, WordPerfect, etc.), Adobe Acrobat Reader (you probably have it
already, but it can be downloaded at http://get.adobe.com/reader/), and an audio/video player (RealPlayer, QuickTime, Windows
Media Player, iTunes, etc.)
How often will I need to logon to the Catalyst Website?
In reality, you only need to access the site to do the work. As I mentioned, you will have about 4-6 assignments per week,
and each assignment will be viewed on the site and then uploaded onto the site to be graded. There will inevitably be
unexpected changes, corrections, additions etc. to the online work, however, you do not need to check the site every day for this.
In general, I will post this information on the site. Once posted, an email will be sent to your email address. Once posted, it is
your responsibility to know that information. So, although you do not necessarily have to check the website each day for
changes, you should check your email at least 1-2 times per day.
Do I need specific editions of texts indicated on the syllabus, or can I use a different edition?
In all instruction and discussion, I will be using the sections, page numbers and information from the specific texts and editions
indicated on the syllabus. Feel free to get the text anywhere, but it is in your best interest to get the specific texts and editions
indicated on the syllabus.

WASHINGTON (WUSA) -- It all began with a promise to a woman dying of breast cancer. The promise was to end breast cancer forever.
The dying woman was Susan G. Komen. And the woman making good on that promise is Komen's sister, Ambassador Nancy Goodman Brinker. She founded Susan G. Komen For The Cure after she lost her only sister, Suzy, to the disease in 1980. Suzy was just 36 years old.
"She was a person who believed that just because of where you lived, or the color of your skin, or the religion you believed in, none of those should make a difference in your ability to be treated for a deadly disease," Brinker said.
Her crusade against breast cancer is one of the largest ever launched and now includes men and women all over the world. According to Brinker, breast cancer is a disease that doesn't just stop at America's borders. Every 68 seconds, a woman will die of breast cancer somewhere in the world.
"There is no awareness, no treatment," she said. "Governments don't even deal with the words 'breast cancer' out loud." Susan G. Komen For The Cure became a global leader in breast cancer activism when others couldn't or wouldn't.
"We are taking what we have learned and translating it into real therapy at the best hospitals and centers in the world," Ambassador Brinker said. "All the way to the streets, all the way to some of the poorest communities in the world."
A memoir called "Promise Me" details Brinker's special bond with her sister. "Every time I go to a Race For The Cure, no matter where it is in this country or out of this country I have a special moment of connectivity with my sister," she said. "It's as if she's there."
According to Brinker, nearly every advancement in breast cancer science and research has somehow been connected to a Susan G. Komen grant. The Komen Foundation has invested nearly $2 billion in the fight against breast cancer since Suzy's death 30 years ago. An additional $8 million has been earmarked for international community education and outreach programs.
Ambassador Brinker is excited about the next frontier of breast cancer technology. New therapies and treatments will make the next decade even better than the last. "For the short term, I will settle for turning this into a chronic disease that people can live with and live quality lives," she said. "(I want them to) be there to raise their children and be there to be productive and have full lives."

No. 6 Texas Defeats Cyclones On The Road
AUSTIN, Texas – Iowa State (18-20, 3-4 Big 12) fell to No. 6 Texas (36-4, 6-0 Big 12), 0-8 in five innings on Friday night at Red & Charline McCombs Field in Austin.
Longhorn ace Blaire Luna (20-1) controlled the game from the first pitch, completing her 17th game of the season and striking out 11 batters while walking two. Luna did not allow an Iowa State hit in the game.
Tori Torrescano (9-9) gave up seven runs, six earned, on 11 hits, walking two and fanning one in three innings of work in the circle to take the loss. Sophomore Madison Jones threw an inning in relief, allowing two hits and one run with no walks or strikeouts.
Taylor Hoagland doubled home the first two runs of the game in the bottom of the second and the following batter, Brejae Washington, made it 3-0 Texas with a sacrifice fly.
The Longhorns added four more runs in the third with RBI-hits from Erin Shireman, Stephanie Ceo and Taylor Thom to take the 7-0 lead as the game entered the fourth frame.
The teams will retake the field for the second game of the weekend series on Saturday at 5 p.m. CDT.

Research has revealed the health benefits of drinking green tea. This popular beverage that's enjoyed around the world is a rich source of natural antioxidants called polyphenols that may reduce the risk of some health problems including heart disease and some types of cancer. The antioxidant power of green tea is an ally in fighting the signs of skin aging. When skin is exposed to the environment and to ultraviolet light from the sun, damaging free radicals form. These rogue molecules injure skin cells and break down collagen and elastin, two proteins that give skin its youthful firmness. Topix has formulated a line of anti-aging skin products called Topix Replenix that rejuvenate skin with the power of green tea polyphenols. The Topix Replenix All Trans Retinol Smoothing Serum line combines the proven anti-aging ingredient retinol with green tea polyphenols to boost collagen production, smooth fine lines and wrinkles, lighten pigmented areas and increase skin cell turnover for brighter skin. If you have sensitive skin, start with the 2X serum that contains a lower concentration of retinol and gradually work up to the more concentrated 10X formula. With regular use, your skin will appear smoother and more youthful. Find out what others are saying about this line of rejuvenating skin products by visiting the Topix Replenix Reviews page.
To learn more about the products, read the product descriptions and discover their benefits. Then visit the Topix Replenix Reviews page where customers share their experiences with the products. The Topix Replenix Reviews page is additional resource you can use to learn more about the products.
With natural ingredients that smooth, nourish and protect skin, Topix is on the cutting edge of skin rejuvenation. Replenix Power of Three Cream and Serum combines green teal polyphenols with caffeine and an anti-aging ingredient found in red wine called resveratrol. This triad of antioxidant ingredients works triple duty to smooth, nourish and protect skin against the environment. It's available in a serum or a cream for dryer skin that needs more intense hydration. Find out what others are saying about this anti-aging skin care line by going to the Topix Replenix Reviews page where customers share their experiences with the products.
To access reviews on all the products in the Replenix line, click on the Topix Replenix Reviews link on the introductory page. From here, you'll arrive at a growing list of reviews left by other customers. You can also access reviews on specific products in the line by clicking on the "reviews" tab adjacent to the product description. Each review includes three ratings based on value, ease-of-use and an overall product ranking. Each reviewer has included relevant information about her age and skin type so you can see how the products perform for people with skin similar to your own. For your convenience, you can sort the reviews based on date of publication or by highest ranked products. Once you've explored the products and experienced the products for yourself, please return and leave Topix Replenix Reviews of your own. Your feedback and reviews are always welcome and appreciated.

Mirko Caballero Becomes Youngest Person to Climb V14
The 13-year-old Mirko Caballero of Los Gatos, California, has become the youngest person to climb V14 by sending Meadowlark Lemon, in Red Rocks, Nevada.
"DONE DEAL," posted Caballero on Intagram. "Still can't believe it... Meadowlark Lemon sit V14 (8B+) !!!! I never worked sooo hard for a project."
Cabellero had already climbed the problem via the stand-start at V13, but needed an additional three trips to complete the problem from the sit-start.
Meadowlark Lemon was first climbed by Paul Robinson in January 2012 and graded V15. However, after quick repeats by Daniel Woods and Jimmy Webb in December 2013, the consensus is now V14.
Mirko Caballero is a three time youth national bouldering champion and has been climbing seriously since the age of seven. At the young age of nine, Caballero climbed his first V10. Caballero has been a member of the U.S. National Climbing Team since 2010.
"I got into climbing mostly because everyone in my family was already climbing, even before I was born," Caballero told Outsideonline in an interview. "I guess you could say I was born in the gym."
The second youngest person to climb V14 was Adam Ondra who was 15-years-old.

Mr. MakahWashington-bred gelding (b. 2000)By Majesterian-Evergreen BeautyCareer (2002-2009): 38-6-6-10, $205,595
As a racehorse, Mr. Makah packed a wallop at Emerald Downs. The gelding turned in several of the most eye-catching finishes in track history.In the 2005 Muckleshoot Tribal Classic, for example, Mr. Makah languished far back as Sabertooth and The Great Face—the former a Longacres Mile winner, the latter a future Longacres Mile winner—smoked the opening four furlongs in :44 1/5, extremely fast for a 1 1/16-mile race. Mr. Makah made up 20 lengths for the victory under Leslie Mawing. Mr. Makah did the same thing in the 2005 Budweiser Emerald Handicap, rallying from 13 lengths back to sweep past Sabertooth for a 15-to-1 upset. And in the 2004 Longacres Mile, Mr. Makah rallied from 16 lengths behind to finish third at odds of 30-to-1."He had some really big races for us, all with different riders," trainer Bonnie Jenne said. "I remember beating Sabertooth in the Budweiser was really neat, because Sabertooth had just set a world record (at 6 ½ furlongs) and was a big favorite."He was a high-energy horse on the ground (without a rider)," Jenne added. "He wasn't mean at all, but you had to keep your eye on him."Retired after the 2009 season, Mr. Makah lives on a 10-acre farm in Bainbridge Island owned by Pamela Padgett, who had followed the racing career of Mr. Makah and made inquiries through her racetrack connections."He was a very athletic horse, a lovely mover, and had a regal look about him," Padgett said. "Dan Markle called Bonnie Jenne, and that got things rolling."A self-described late-bloomer in the horse world, Padgett began riding at age 39, and now regularly rides both Mr. Makah and Illegitimate, a 23-year-old gelding that raced mainly at Yakima Meadows. Padgett said Mr. Makah relishes his new career as a pleasure horse, adding she is laying the foundation for a possible career as a show horse."It all depends on what Mr. Makah wants to do," she said. "He's learning to walk and trot and canter in a rhythm over ground poles, and to balance himself.""But if he's happier just being a riding horse, that's fine too," she added. "The important thing is, Mr. Makah is living the life of Riley in his golden years."

UPS adds ten Asia ports to its UPS Preferred LCL Ocean Freight service
February 22, 2011
UPS announced it has expanded its UPS Preferred LCL (less-than-container-load) Ocean Freight service to ten additional Asia-based ports, which it said provides shippers with up to 40 percent faster door-to-port United States-bound delivery for LCL shipments.
Company officials said the service will now be offered into and out of the Chinese ports of Shanghai, Shenzhen, Ningbo and Xiamen, expand to origins in Busan, South Korea, and Taipei in March, and to Bangkok, Thailand; Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam; Singapore, and Hong Kong in April. And they said it can potentially cut a typical 3-to-4 week ocean transit time nearly in half. And after arriving at a West coast port, Preferred LCL ocean shipments are moved through an expedited UPS North American ground network utilized for air freight shipments, they said, explaining that this network ensures faster transit and day-definite delivery to more U.S. destination points than competing services and cuts 8-to-16 days of transit time off the current standard service for East coast deliveries.
UPS's Preferred LCL Ocean Freight, UPS service meshes its North American ground network with containerized ocean services for Container Freight Station (CFS) to door delivery from Asia to the United States.
UPS has been offering standard LCL and FCL (full container load) services since 2001. This week's announcement follows a September rollout of UPS Preferred LCL Ocean Freight in Japan.
UPS Vice President of Ocean Services Jimmy Crabbe told LM there were various drivers for the recent expansion of this service into ten new cities.
"We've seen a clear market trend of companies emerging from the recession looking to increase their speed to market without dramatically increasing their transportation costs," he said. "During 2010, many companies had to rely significantly on air freight to get products to market quickly due to depleted inventories. Now that things are turning around, companies are looking for flexible options that allow them to be more economical while not losing speed. Traditional LCL services are economical but not necessarily fast. Based on our strong integrated global network, UPS has created a solution for our [shippers] that combines our expertise in LCL ocean freight transportation with the speed and flexibility of our expedited North American network for air freight. This allows us to offer a service to the U.S. that's faster and more economical."
Crabbe also explained that the manufacturing facilities for most of the importers that stand to benefit reside mostly in these Asian markets. And after the initial roll out of the service in Japan last year, these additional markets are where UPS saw the greatest need for the UPS Preferred LCL service.
As for shipper benefits, Crabbe said that faster speed-to-market leads the list.
"Our UPS Preferred LCL Ocean Freight service can potentially cut a typical three- to four- week transit time nearly in half by leveraging our expedited North American ground network," he said. "This service also allows day-definite delivery for companies with time-sensitive needs. Additionally, customer using UPS's Preferred LCL service benefit from additional features including simplified per-kilo pricing and streamlined invoicing."

2006 Goodguys Nitro Nationals - Blast Of NostalgiaWritten by on December 11, 2006 Altered and Roadster Revival at the Nitro Nats
The popularity of Goodguys' Vintage Drag Racing could turn the first decade of the 21st century into drag racing's glory years. At least that's the feeling we get watching the competition at the March Meet, the Nitro Nats, the Hot Rod Nats, and the Fuel & Gas Finals. For everyone who loves Gassers, Altereds, Roadsters, front-engine diggers, and early Funny Cars, it's nostalgia all over again.
For a lot of fans, an old-time strip like Famoso in Bakersfield (home of the March Meet) is the perfect place to watch vintage drags. For a lot of the racers, however, pulling up to the starting lights at the historic but up-to-date Pomona Fairplex (home of the NHRA Winternationals since 1961) is pretty exciting.
We spent the last weekend in June at the Fairplex for the Goodguys 7th Pomona Nitro Nationals. With hundreds of hot rods running in a dozen categories and classes from Top Fuelers to Gassers, Nostalgia Eliminator to Hot Rod bracket racing, the racing lasts from before breakfast until way after dark, with hours of action under the lights.
We had a taste for Roadsters and Altereds that weekend and spent most of our time watching the category packed with those cars: Nostalgia Eliminator. Goodguys has divided this category into three index classes. Nostalgia I is the 7.60-second elapsed time index, with Nostalgia II and Nostalgia III running 8.60 and 9.60 indexes respectively. All NE classes are open to center-steer cars, including dragsters, with '72-or-earlier bodies. Left-hand-steer cars can race in NE2 or NE3. Cars can be blown or injected. Gas, alcohol, and even nitro are allowed. Electronic driving devices? Not allowed!
Most of the Altereds and Roadsters in NE run big-block or small-block Chevys. There are plenty of Hemis, a few big-block Fords, and the occasional "other," such as the injected VW in Marty Stagg's 23 T roadster. We noticed an almost even split between blowers and injectors, and between gasoline and alcohol, with injected cars favoring alcohol. Powerglides are the most prevalent transmissions.
Nostalgia Eliminator can be a good entry level for new racers or guys getting back into the sport. Building a car for Nostalgia generally requires less cash than the Fuel and Gas classes, and the the cars, once built, require a lower level of maintenance. We didn't see too many racers yanking on wrenches between rounds. Instead, they were walking the show 'n' shine area, hanging out at their trailers, and watching the rest of the racing from the grandstands. Nostalgia I racer Bruce McDowell calls it "barbecue racing." Dean Prochison, who races a '23 T in NE3 said he doesn't want his crew chief spending all his time working on the car, since he's also the head cook. And not a single member of Mike Lomas' Nostalgia II crew looked old enough to drive.
But it's only easy between rounds. At the starting line, Nostalgia Eliminator is a tough class. The fields can be very tight, with only a few tenths between the Number 1 qualifier and the bump spot. As in all indexed classes, racers have to run that razor's edge between the index and the e.t. of the guy next to you. Winning takes a ton of skill and some serious seat-of-the-pants knowledge of your car.
In addition to being a competitive category, and relatively easy to get into, most racers we met talked about how much fun the Nostalgia classes are. Between the camaraderie of the participants, the competitiveness on the strip, and the excitement of racing truly nostalgic cars, Nostalgia Eliminator probably offers more blast per buck than any other type of drag racing.
The Goodguys Vintage Drag Racing season isn't over yet, and we've already got our motel room for the Fuel & Gas Finals to be held at Famoso Raceway in Bakersfield, California, on November 6 and 7. For more information about racing at this event, or about enjoying a weekend of some fantastic nostalgic racing, contact Goodguys at www.goodguys.com or call (925) 838-9876.
We had a ball watching Craig Wallace's '29 A sedan, mostly because it looks like a streetable hot rod. Except for the cage, Craig built this sedan himself. He found the steel body in a friend's backyard; the nose is the only 'glass portion. The 0.060-over 350 burns alcohol from the Ron's Racing port injection system.
Craig got started bracket racing, moving to NE3 when the index was created. He likes the class because it's relatively inexpensive and relatively low-maintenance. "I rebuild the motor every few years, and put bearings in every season if there are no problems in between. Between rounds, I just put fuel in it, and charge the battery after a few runs. After about 100 passes, I replace the tires. That's typically about it, unless I break parts. I don't want to have to tear the engine down every other weekend, and I don't want a crew to follow me around. Sometimes my wife comes with me or my high school friend, Bob Hendricks. Bob and I street raced in the '60s, so coming to these races is like a reunion for us."
Wallace, who has helped build numerous vintage drag cars, is the 2003 Nostalgia III champ, and with a win at the March Meet, Runner-Up at the Nitro Nats in Vegas, and another win in Pomona, he's on the way to a repeat in 2004. We prodded for the secret of success. "Know your abilities and limitations, and don't build a car beyond your mechanical ability or interest level." Before we left, we asked him about the wheels. "Swap meet specials: slotted aluminum wheels. The Moon discs are a pain in the pits, but everybody loves them and they add to the look of the car, so they're staying on."

t looks like a show car, but is one of the most competitive cars in Nostalgia II this year. The late Warren Brogie built this '27 Dodge, now raced in NE2 by Jim Van Gordon. Jim was looking for a Brogie-built car when he found this one in a garage in Boise. The 565ci Chrysler B engine with Brodix aluminum heads makes 960 hp, but just as impressive is the bodywork. Harley billet road lights flank the authentic grille shell. Look closely and you'll see that the fenders have been cut out. After a lifetime of racing in numerous classes, Jim says he got tired of all the electronic stuff and wanted to go back to some real racing, "where it's just you and your car. You're shifting and you're driving. Nostalgia Eliminator just fit what we wanted."When the Batto Trucking '47 Crosley was originally altered in 1961 by John Batto, it became a West Coast triple record holder. Batto moved into Top Fuel, and the car was parked in a barn until 1998 when Batto's nephew Johnny Cofer and his friend Ronnie Lennon retrieved it. Cofer restored the original metal body to 1961 condition and dropped it on a new chassis. Originally, the Crosley ran a Rodeck aluminum engine. Now it's a Chevy 400 with an iron Dart block, Brodix #12 heads, a 6-71 Mooneyham blower, and Hilborn 4-port injection, backed by a Powerglide. Lennon has been driving the car in NE1 competition, and is currently fourth in the points standings.Fiats have always made great Altereds. Phil Lukens' '48 Topolino, from Blair's Speed Shop in Pasadena, can compete in NHRA AA/Altered, but Phil would rather run Nostalgia I which is less money and more fun. The Mooneyham-blown Donovan Hemi is tied to an unusual B&J four-speed with a dual-disc clutch. Phil has run 7.25 in the car, but richens the mix and backs off the timing to slow it down.The Nitro Nats was the second big race for this steel '23 T, owned by Ron Kolb of Fullerton, California. Built from scratch 3 years ago, the car features a 400 Chevy with a single Holley carb. Ron named the roadster Whiz Bang II, in honor of Whiz Bang, the Top Gas drag car driven in the '50s by Ron's father, legendary drag racer Leland Kolb.Mike Lomas didn't start racing until he was in his 40s and this is his first and only race car. The '32 Bantam roadster body with Willys fenders rides on a former Funny Car chassis, with a 468 Chevy running gas through a 1050 Dominator. He sometimes runs Super Comp but prefers NE2 because of the no-electronics rule and the chance to run against old-style cars. His teenage nephew and some of his friends make up the crew.After hitting the wall at the '01 March Meet, John Duffy rebuilt the whole front end of his '27 T which runs in NE2. The engine is a 410 Chevy with Enderle injection. At the '04 March Meet, he lost the final round by 0.024 seconds at the starting lights. "That's this class," he told us. "They'll put you on the trailer by that much!"Michael Lee drives his father Kil's '47 Topolino in NE3. Kil Lee wanted a '47 (it's the year he was born) and found this one on eBay. He discovered that the car, which came from South Carolina, was previously named Swamp Rat, which makes him wonder if it was one of the two Fiat Altereds once raced by Don Garlits. The engine is a Ford 460 with Cobra Jet iron heads. The mag 12-spokes, axles, and front suspension all came from a late-'60s AA Fuel Altered.One of the nicest looking cars in NE3, and one of the few lefthand-drivers, is Steve Foster's alky-fed fendered '34 Chevy, nicknamed Instagator. Inside and out, it's all been custom fabricated, including pedals, brackets, and other hardware, not to mention all the bodywork (note the hand-built hood scoop). The 427 breathes through an old Ed Pink 6-71 supercharger and Hilborn FI system on a Hogan manifold, Transmission is a B&J 3-speed with a Quick Drive converter.Steve Foster's previous Insta-Gator, this '23 T, has been owned by Gene Robinson for 10 years. Gene competes in Nostalgia II. Although it has gone 8.44, Gene tunes down the 468ci Rat motor to run the 8.60 index. In 1983, the car appeared in the movie Heart Like a Wheel, disguised with a Funny Car body.
People kept referring to Willy Currano as Woody Duke, after he purchased the racer's "Wild Thing" '47 Topolino 2 years ago. He rebuilt the entire car, first built by Woody in '62, adding a carbureted big-block. Willy has been drag racing since high school days, and races "Wild Thing" in NE3.In the truest tradition of hot rodding, Blake Shrode, who drives this '34 three-window for his dad Bob, also drives the 400ci small-block-powered coupe on the streets of Burbank. The Shrodes are "still tinkering" with the car, which they've owned for 2 years, and race in the Nostalgia II class. The car's quickest pass to date is 9.20.Inspired by a Fiat raced by Frank Pedregon, Chess Bushey and driver Bruce McDowell compete with this much reworked '38 in the Nostalgia I class. The pinched and filled body flips up like a Funny Car. The 406ci small-block with a Mooneyham 6-71 blower and Air Flow heads was built by Britt Bostich. Hard to believe it was originally intended for the street.This '48 Topolino has a history of its own. Owner Bobby Lee found a historical photo of it in a Don Montgomery book and traced its heritage. It was the first body out of the Cal Automotive mold and appeared in a 1963 issue of Drag Sport Illustrated. After 25 years in storage, it was rebuilt in 2003. Lee retained the original front end and American 12-spokes. The powerplant is a Chevy 454 with a TH400 trans.

I am in the process of resurrecting an older EQ5 for a backup mount. I am trying to source some RA and DEC knobs. All I can find are the stalk variety. I would really like the original hard plastic ones instead. I am also looking for a polar alignment rear and front cover. Anyone got any leads?

A federal appeals court August 27 reinstated a disability discrimination lawsuit brought by a worker who said his sleep disorder and related medical problems meant he should only work regular day positions, without rotations to different shifts or overtime.
According to the ruling by the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Chicago in David Feldman v. Olin Corp. et. al., because of Feldman's problems with fibromyalgia and sleep apnea, his doctors had advised him to work regular, daytime shifts at his job as a tractor operator at a manufacturing facility in East Alton, Illinois. Fibromyalgia symptoms include widespread musculoskeletal pain and fatigue.
During the period at issue, the facility was first owned by Clayton, Missouri-based Olin Corp., then by East Alton-based GBC Metals L.L.C.
Feldman worked daytime shifts at the plant until the work was realigned in May 2007, and he was asked to work different shifts on a rotating basis. "Although he tried to work under the new regime for a few weeks, Feldman found that his fatigue and pain made it impossible for him to do so," said the ruling.
After he asked for a straight-day shift in May 2007, he was laid off. He was rehired, though, in December, 2007, after he bid on, and was awarded, a position working straight days as a tractor operator, according to the ruling. He has continued to work at the plant since then.
Feldman filed suit against his employers on charges including violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act, and with engaging in retaliation once he returned to work. A district court concluded Feldman could not show he was disabled, and dismissed the case.
But the appellate court reinstated Feldman's disability claim. When "the record is viewed in the light most favorable to Feldman there is a dispute of material fact" on the threshold issue of whether he is disabled, said the three-judge panels' unanimous ruling."
Feldman "presented significant evidence of severe sleep problems resulting from sleep apnea and fibromyalgia, including medical evidence from his treating physicians and the results of a sleep study," said the ruling.
The court said: "Feldman has presented enough evidence to establish a genuine dispute of material fact about his qualification to work available straight-time positions, and Olin did not offer him those positions."
The court upheld the lower court's dismissal of Feldman's retaliation claims, concluding "they were properly dismissed for lack of evidence."

Thank you for your interest in the Hartford Hospital Diagnostic Radiology Residency Program. Our residency program has been in place for over 65 years and currently trains 5 residents per year. We have no radiology fellowship programs by choice so that our upper class residents are all treated like fellows, enabling hands-on experience on the most interesting and complex cases. Our residents leave here as exceptional radiologists entering competitive fellowships and stimulating careers.
If you are unfamiliar with Hartford Hospital, we are one of the largest teaching hospitals in New England with a strong interest in training the next generation of physicians. With the state's only helicopter ambulance, our 867 bed tertiary care hospital and regional referral center can draw patients from most of Connecticut and southwestern Massachusetts. Additionally on our campus we have the 97 bed Connecticut Children's Medical Center. These 964 inpatient beds are supplemented by a great outpatient volume to provide you with exposure to all aspects of radiology and pathology during your training. You will get wide exposure to all the clinical disciplines, which facilitates subspecialty career choices after you graduate.
As one of the Northeast's highest volume surgical hospitals, we cover all the surgical subspecialties; we have one of the largest volumes of robotic surgeries in New England, we pioneered the hand assisted laparoscopic nephrectomy, and are one of the regions only "bloodless" surgical centers, to name a few. These complex surgical cases require quality imaging for treatment planning, facilitated by radiology-rich interdepartmental conferences and clinics. As a level one trauma center and one of the busiest emergency departments in New England (currently expanding again), you will become comfortable and efficient at reading a wide variety of acute care films. Our nationally recognized Stroke Center, Prostate Cancer Center of Excellence, Bariatric Surgery Center of Excellence, and Women's Health Center of Excellence will expose you to all the actual pathology that you might only read about in books at other programs. We were even named a Blue Distinction Center for rare and complex cancers.
One of the most intriguing aspects of the program is that while the residency is administered by Hartford Hospital, it is staffed by Radiologists from Jefferson Radiology. Jefferson Radiology is the largest private practice group in New England (28th largest group in the nation) providing a full complement of subspecialty trained radiologists. While the majority of your time will be spent at Hartford Hospital, you also will rotate through the Connecticut Children's Medical Center (on our campus), and in the Jefferson Radiology offices. Additionally, thanks to the interconnectedness of our PACS systems, in conference you can be exposed to interesting cases performed at a wide variety of the outlying hospitals or outpatient offices that Jefferson Radiology covers. Overall, you have the potential to see the interesting cases from 7 hospitals and 9 outpatient offices. (Don't worry, you only read cases for Hartford Hospital when on call). This mix of inpatient and outpatient cases, along with an exceptional blend of pathology will allow you the flexibility to enter either academics or a high-end private practice career after graduation.
There are ample opportunities for teaching and research during your time here. Hartford Hospital is a primary affiliated teaching hospital of the University of Connecticut School of Medicine. In addition to teaching the junior radiology residents while on service, we have rotating medical students and clinical residents on month-long clerkships in the department. Research is actively supported with mentoring, statistical assistance, study design development, and rolling grants.
I can assure you that the more you learn about our program the more you will be impressed. There is a reason why our attendings have trained at the country's most competitive programs and chose to practice here. There is a reason that our graduating residents have gone on to the most competitive fellowships in the country, and excelled there.

Comments about Mighty Full Alloy Pannier Rack:
This is the first 'pannier' type rear cargo rack I've owned so I don't have much reference for comparisons. My biggest issue was that the way the brackets fit together made it a little difficult to attach without an extra set of helping hands, but it can be done. For my bike the reach of the brackets from the rack to the frame eyelets just barely reached, but reach they did. Overall it seems really sturdy and holds my cargo bag with no issues..and the spring loaded clamp is a nice addition that's come in handy. I haven't gotten any pannier bags for it yet (though I plan to, that's why I got this type of cargo rack), so I can't comment on how well it might work with a set of those, but so far I'm happy with my choice.

Hi to all,
I have zcs-3.1.0_GA_322, is there a way to change the default calendar timezone ?
I see that it seems to be automatic.
My problem is that the "default" calendar Timezome is set on Amsterdam / Berlin and it should be Brussels / Paris
In the translation file I have seen a variable "defaultCalendarTimezone" so it's why I have this question.
Thanks in advance,

May 25, 2016
Associated Press Release
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) -- For the first time in six years state lawmakers aren't grappling with billion dollar shortfalls in the state budget.
Florida legislators are expected to pass a new state budget during the 60-day session that does not call for large spending cuts.
Instead the tug-of-war during the session will likely be over how to spend a modest budget surplus. Another big budget question is whether the state will accept federal aid and expand the Medicaid program to cover more Floridians.
Gov. Rick Scott has proposed a $74.2 billion budget that includes an across-the-board pay raise for teachers as well as bonuses for state workers. Scott also supports the Medicaid expansion which is part of the federal health care overhaul.
Legislative leaders have been reluctant to endorse the teacher pay raise proposal.

Poughkeepsie, NY (Sports Network) - Behind a 24-point effort from Chavaughn
Lewis, the Marist Red Foxes defeated the Fairfield Stags at the McCann Center,
73-60, to close out the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference regular season.
Lewis shot 9-of-16 from the field for Marist (10-20, 6-12 MAAC), which has won
three in a row for the first time all season. Adam Kemp recorded a double-
double with 14 points and 11 rebounds, while Jay Bowie also poured in 14
points in a reserve role.
Marcus Gilbert had 15 points for Fairfield (17-14, 9-9), while Maurice Barrow
contributed 10 points. The Stags head into the MAAC Tournament ice-cold,
having lost three straight.
Marist led from the opening tip, shooting 51.9 percent from the field in the
first half to get out to a 34-28 advantage at the break.
Fairfield cut its deficit to three on a handful of occasions, including with
just under 10 minutes to play following a Barrow jumper, but the Red Foxes
ended the threat with nine straight points and led by double figures the rest
of the way.
Marist was busy at the foul line with 44 attempts, although it made just 24 of
those (.545).

There are three of us that have a combined equipment setup for astrophotography. One of us has ordered and received a LX80 (we have been using his LXD55 ). During first light Friday night, we found an issue with it not tracking properly in RA, which I'll explain. The issue has only been not tracking properly in RA. The DEC has been good. The gotos have been good. The LX80 seems fine except for the RA tracking. Also it is much more solid/stable than the LXD55.
The guy that bought the mount called Meade Monday. He told them what it was doing. He also asked what the RA ratio value should be as default, in attempt to verify that. Meade told him that they would have to call him back. Didn't hear back on Monday, he called again this morning, got no call again so called back very late today. He was now told to e-mail the issue to them. He had to go to work and will have to e-mail them after he gets off work.
We discussed it and he wanted me to ask here - Can someone that has a LX80 please check their hand controller to see what value the RA ratio is? I hope it isn't wrong to post what ours is showing. Ours had +2.75075 as the RA ratio and +2.75077 for the DEC ratio. After having absolutely no luck, as a debug step we did temporarily change the RA to see if it affected the situation. We set it about +8 and the drift then went the other way. When we set it to about +6.75 that caused the star to be just about steady then. The RA ratio has now been re-entered to +2.75075 as it originally showed. We did see a value close to that on another site. The value they showed listed it as being LX90 & LX80. Is that correct for both? The reset of the audiostar hand controller still showed +2.75075 but it has huge drift at that.
Also, I don't believe we're overlooking something but please say so if anyone notices something we might be overlooking.
Friday night, the mount was physically setup in EQ/polar mode, verified the hand controller also showed polar/EQ mode. The mount was balanced in both axis - picture is attached (80mm F7.0, 66mm F6.0, flip mirror & DSI pro, diagonal & eyepiece).
We did the same alignment routine we've been doing with the LXD55. Polar align roughly eyeballed. Then one star alignment (which goes to Polaris first), physically adjust the mount to center Polaris. It then picked Arcturus. It went near Arcturus (goto was better than the LXD55 usually does). Arcturus was then centered using the hand controller = successfully alignment. We then did gotos back and forth between Polaris and Arcturus. Each time when at Polaris - physically adjust the mount to remove out about half the error. Then on Arcturus center with hand controller and sync. Once we get the alignment error out enough that both stars are in the field of view with a 12.5mm eyepiece in the 80mm F7.0, we would then focus cameras and do a drift align using PHD guiding and really nail the alignment, then guide and image (that has been working well on with the LXD55 – see the FLI8300C gallery of starsabove.net).
After getting alignment close going between Polaris and Arcturus, when we went to near the meridian to do the 1st part of the drift alignment, the LX80 was not tracking worth a hoot in RA. The DSI pro through the 66mm F6.0, showed the stars drifting left to right across the screen about 3/16 to 1/4 of an inch every two seconds exposure with the DSI. We've never seen drift like that on the LXD55 at that same step in our routine – the star has always been mainly steady while just looking at it on screen. PHD would not calibrate due to the star kept drifting out of the star search box.
We have reset the hand controller, verified the hand controller also showed polar/EQ mode,motor calibration routine has been run a couple of times, trained the drive a couple of times, Started all over on polar aligning several times. Verified the hand controller set for sidereal tracking rate. Turned targets to terrestrial to see if the LX80 was tracking at all in RA – it was – the star drift got worse as it should have when set to terrestrial targets , then turned targets back to astronomical – back to same bad amount of drift. We did set it up in alt/az and did an alignment. That showed the star drifting the other direction – right to left (but some less drift and the star would move slightly up a couple of frames then down a couple of frames then repeat while drifting left – we don't normally do alt/az but wanting to try it to see how stable that tracking was)
Sunday morning, Venus was put in the field of view on the eyepiece with the mount set up as EQ and Venus did drift out. When it did the DEC was still good – only off in RA. I wasn't there helping Sunday morning, so this time the other guy did all the setup/balancing/alignments, so more than one person has set it all up with the exact same results.
As mentioned earlier, the gotos have been good. The mount I didn't think was very noisy on normal slew and goto was very quiet with the quiet slew mode turned on. The LX80 fit and finish is good. Much easier to balance as both axis are much smoother than the LXD55.
I would think that if there was some big mechanical issue, gotos would be off but they are good.
We would appreciate someone letting us know the default RA ratio value their LX80 shows. Let us know if we're being brain dead and overlooking something obvious or other ideas on the issue that might help isolate what's happening. Maybe there are something more that could be tried before he gets feedback from Meade.
Once it is acting properly, we plan to pulse guide it through the hand controller with PHD like we've done with the LXD55 and I'll let everyone know how that goes.

There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year olds life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves Orcs. ~ John Rogers

As none of these points apply to me in any form it would be a great thespian challenge for Mr. Jones.

Either a young Al Pachino or maybe Edward Norton. Pachino looks more like me, but Norton would give a good performance.
If George Clooney and Scarlet Johansen had a beautiful boy together....that's who'd play me.

I'd go with Matt Damon. I've heard I'd kind of look like him if only he would lose 20 pounds of muscle, add 30 pounds of fat, and go through a disfiguring car accident.

Reaching Out to Greensburg, Kan.
By now, you probably have all heard about the community of Greensburg, Kan., the town that was left in ruins after a mile-wide tornado touched down this past Friday. A quick look at Mapquest shows that Greensburg is a good five-hour drive southwest of Kansas City. But, we all know distance doesn't really matter at times like this and what happened to the community of Greensburg happened a little too close to home.
At Kauffman Stadium, prior to and during our evening game against Oakland on Wednesday and our afternoon match up with the A's on Thursday, we will be joining locally based Heart to Heart International to collect cash donations for the victims of the Greensburg tornado. Volunteers will be just inside each of the gates at The K, and entering fans can do their parts with cash or check donations. (NOTE: Make checks payable to Heart to Heart International.)
In case you don't know, Heart to Heart International, based in Olathe, Kan., organizes global relief efforts and has already committed to spending four weeks in the Greensburg area. They have already started collecting for the Greensburg relief effort. Learn more about this organization at www.hearttoheart.org.
So, if you make it out to Kauffman these next two games, consider maybe skipping a hot dog or passing on an extra cold beverage and join us in helping a neighboring community get back on its feet.
