'Hungry' St Lucian pugilists confident
A confident St. Lucian, three-man boxing team wrapped up their six-week preparation in Castries and arrived here last night to do battle in the International Goodwill Tournament which boxes off today at the Cliff Anderson Sports Hall.
The three boxers Lyndel 'The Russian' Marcellil (light welterweight), Ron Bastien (light middleweight) and Arthur Langelier (super middleweight) along with the three officials intimated that their training camp went smoothly and are certain to grab
medals at the three-day event which also involves Trinidad, Jamaica and the host.
"We are very confident" said president of the St. Lucia Boxing Association, David 'Shakes' Christopher.
"We have the experience, we are looking forward to doing well and are very confident of winning here", Brian McDonald, VP of the association echoed.
"In terms of preparation, we had a six-week regimen and we are looking forward to the challenges of this competition", McDonald added.
So what is the mood of the camp?
"The mood of the boxers"? Christopher asked "They are very hungry, hungry because they haven't had much competition, they will use this as preparation for the Commonwealth and the CAC Games, and we are looking forward to this."
Coach of the team, ex national boxer, Conrad Fredericks and the three pugilists echoed similar sentiments while urging fans to come out and support the event.
'Shakes' went on to state that the event is "one of the biggest events in the Caribbean in a long time.'
He said the aim of the tournament is to "form a family to take the Caribbean boxers to a next level and that is because they are starved of competitions, we want to give it 100% support."
The Trinidad and Tobago and the Jamaican contingents were scheduled to arrive last night.
Bell time is 18:00hrs for each night of the competition. Admission is $500.

"Oh what a reef!" Pulau Layang by Quero
Pulau Layang Travel Guide: 27 reviews and 77 photos
Terumbu Layang Layang is an atoll about 300 km off the coast of Borneo in the South China Sea. It is part of the Spratley Island group. The name Layang Layang, meaning "Swallows," was bestowed on the atoll since it was the resting place of migrating sea swallows, more accurately known as great crested terns.
This is not a place to come if you like sandy beaches or want to chase away the darkness with club hopping--there's only the merest hint of a beach, and virtually no nightlife. But once you stick your head under the water, none of that seems to matter any longer.
Layang Layang is a necklace of 13 reefs with a lagoon in the center. It is too far from any landmass to have become an exploited fishing spot, and since it only recently could support human habitation, it has remained a pristine underwater fairyland.
The word "terumbu" means "atoll." However, part of the atoll has been built up to form an artificial island just big enough to accommodate an airstrip, a hotel, and a naval station. So now it is better known as Pulau Layang Layang, or Layang2 Island.

A summertime tradition is in full swing in downtown Terre Haute.
St. Benedict Community Festival is Friday and Saturday evening at the church on Ohio Street.
This is the festival's 17th year. It helps to support the church and its mission which includes a soup kitchen.
There's plenty of food and drinks, casino games and live music.
This year's celebration coincides with a big milestone for the church.
"We're actually getting ready to celebrate our 150th anniversary of the church so we'll also use some of the funds to help restore and maintain our historic buildings here on campus," says Meghan Williams, festival co-chair.
You can get a tour of the historic church every hour on the hour.
The festival continues Saturday from 5 to midnight.
It's $2 for the 21 and older crowd.

I have been reading about when to switch toddlers from the crib to a toddler bed and just wondering if anyone has done that yet. My daughter still rolls around like crazy and occasionally still has to be coaxed into going to bed. She does sleep through the night. She is also pretty tall for her age, so although she hasn't tried to climb out of the crib yet, it is a concern.

I switched my son at a couple months before two. he figured out how to climb out of his crib and he couldnt get back in so i got a bed. now he sleeps in the floor half the time but he sleeps fine.

We switched this weekend and it's gone really well. We are following Supernanny's bed transition/sleep separation technique and it's made it very easy.
I haven't switched yet. My DD sleeps so well in her crib, I'm waiting until she is a bit older. My sister didn't switch her oldest daughter until she was a little over 3 and it worked out fine. So, I'll probably see how it goes, right now I couldn't imagine switching her. Oh and I also have an ODD that never slept in her crib, she sleeps on a toddler bed and moves a lot and always seem to stay in the bed somehow, so I wouldn't worry about that.,

I have been reading up on this too because my son doesn't climb out yet and sleeps so well in his crib. The best information I read was to wait until they are ready. So I will wait until either he starts climbing out or tells me he wants a big boy bed. I don't see that happening any time soon because I think he likes the security of his crib. He is able to climb out he just doesn't want to even when he does want out.

My dd moved out of her crib when she was about 20 months because my ods was coming and we didn't want it to seem like the new baby "stole" her bed. (they're 22 months apart). Now with ods, there wasn't anyone squeezing him out. lol He was in there until about 3. He didn't try to climb out, and his bedroom was the only one upstairs, so I liked him being contained. Now yds is still in his crib and he was 2 on Sept. 27th. He hasn't tried to climb out, and I'll keep him in there for at least a few more months. I'm in no rush to get him out since he sleeps so well in his crib.
Rachel 12/97 Eric 10/99,Thomas 9/07and Hannah 8-3-11
Yes they all have the same dad and no, the younger two were not "accidents."
No rush here either. I originally thought I'd want Anthony in a bed around 2 but he sleeps so well in his crib and hasn't climbed out or asked for a bed yet. If and when I get preg again hopefully soon I'll probably work on the transition to a bed. Toddler beds seem like a waste, we'll be going straight to a twin bed.
DS Sept 11/07 and�DD July 16/10 (VBAC)
I switched my son from his crib to a toddler bed a few weeks after his 2nd birthday. He had never tried climbing out of his crib before. It just seemed like a good a time as any to try it. The first 2 nights he kept climbing out of the toddler bed and was upset and I'd have to talk him through it and explain what the 'big boy' bed was, but once he went to sleep he stayed asleep the entire night! By the 3rd night..he was a pro. Now, we do his nightly routine, and once I say night night time he walks himself to bed ( I follow), and climbs right in and then I tuck him in, etc. and we say our prayers, I sing him his bedtime song(while he's lying there in bed tucked in), and then he's good to go. Within minutes, he's out. I say, if your gut says that it's the right time, then do it - if not, then no rush.
Mommy to JaVon Isiah..
Travis is still in his crib. He likes it and hasn't tried to climb out yet. We'll keep him in it as long as he wants too. I try not to mess with anything that has to do with sleep! :-)

Weekly earnings in first quarter 2006 by demographics
April 27, 2006
Median weekly earnings of the nation's full-time wage and salary workers were $668 in the first quarter of 2006, 2.3 percent higher than a year earlier.
This compares with a gain of 3.6 percent in the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) over the same period.
Women who usually worked full time had median earnings of $600 per week, or 80.6 percent of the $744 median for men. The female-to-male earnings ratios were higher among blacks (93.9 percent) and Hispanics or Latinos (86.6 percent) than among whites (79.6 percent) or Asians (71.1 percent).
Median earnings for black men working at full-time jobs were $577 per week, 75.6 percent of the median for white men ($763).

Medicine as treatment or medicine as healing? Despite facile responses, these two constructions are distinct. It is possible that the failure to distinguish between the the modalities of treatment and healing is responsible for much of the current health care mess. Such failure may also account in large part for the abject failure of medicine to provide meaningful solutions to the epidemics of type II diabetes and overweight/obesity. Similarly, when a person ill with cancer or a person ill with a cardiovascular disorder encounters the health care system, the orientation of his physicians to treatment or healing will have a significant impact on the person's long-term health and well-being.

I need some help for drawing a circle from 3 triangle points in C++ programming language.
I need some help for drawing a circle from 3 triangle points in C++ programming language.
In C++ language there are so many ways to do this task. You need to write a function that help to calculate parameter of the circle. As we know that this parameter is to be center and radius. Use three triangle points as a parameter of this function. You need to use the value of this parameter and then find out the value of the radius and the center. In that write a function to calculate screen coordinates. Then pass this value to the function coordinates of the circle. The screen coordinates help to do this task easily in c++ language. This is really help to find the radius and the center of the circle. Then use this parameter and then draw that circle.
Yes, this is the right way to do this task. Using the three triangle point you can able to find the correct mean distance of the center to this three point. You need to use the specific function for doing this task. Then just use the center and the radius of that resulted function. Here radius of this circle is an similar distance near to the three point. Then use this parameter and it really work to solve the problem. This will be good for you for doing such complicated task.
To draw a circle using the three triangle points, you need to first draw two lines between the three points. These two lines, is to be help to draw the circle using the C++ language. Then use the chord lines to draw two perpendicular bisectors between these two lines. The intersection point, will be help to find the center of the desired circle. Also use the radius which is distance between center and three points. This is help to draw the circle.
I also faced this problem and then I develop the following code for draw the circle.
Try this code and it will give you correct result on the C++ language./////*********** Draw Circle Using Three Points******************///
double px,py,qx,qy,rx,ry,p1,y11,pd1,yd1,p2,y2,pd2,yd2,ox,oy,dx,yd,radius; // Variables Used and to Declared
px =firx ; py = firy; //first Point X and Y
qx =serx; qy = sery; // Second Point X and Y
rx =thix ; ry =thiy; // Third Point X and Y
////****************Following are Basic Procedure**********************///
p1 = (qx + px) / 2;
y11 = (qy + py) / 2;
yd1 = qx - px;
pd1 = -(qy - py);
p2 = (rx + qx) / 2;
y2 = (ry + qy) / 2;
yd2 = rx - qx;
pd2 = -(ry - qy);
ox = (y11 * pd1 * pd2 + p2 * pd1 * yd2 - p1 * yd1 * pd2 - y2 * pd1 * pd2)/ (pd1 * yd2 - yd1 * pd2);
oy = (ox - p1) * yd1 / pd1 + y11;
dx = ox - px;
yd = oy - py;
radius =(int)sqrt(dx * dx + yd * yd);
for( double t_Angle = 0; t_Angle <= 360; t_Angle += 0.01 )
i = ox +(radius+1)*cos( 3.14*t_Angle );
j = oy +(radius+1)*sin( 3.14*t_Angle );
imagearr1[i][j] = RGB( 255,0,0);
The code you provided is to be useful for doing the calculation in this C++ language. This code will help to find the radius and the center of the circle. After getting the radius and the circle you need to just use this value as a parameter. Then use the graphics method of the C++ language. This language will based on Object Oriented Programming and the help option of this language will be help to provide such method. Then press F1 in this language and then use the existing method of this language. This will be help to solve the existing problem and then you can able to draw the circle.

Drafting the Arbitration Clause: A Primer on the Opportunities and the Pitfalls
Sussman, Edna, Kummer, Victoria A., Dispute Resolution Journal
A review of some of the crucial issues that should be considered in order to draft an effective arbitration clause.
The arbitration clause is often thrown into the contract at the last minute as the parties toast the conclusion of their negotiations. Usually little more than an afterthought, it deserves considerably more attention from the careful lawyer. Because the arbitration clause can become highly significant down the road if the parties' relationship deteriorates, arbitration practitioners have recognized that the clause should be shaped in a thoughtful and careful way to the transaction and the parties' needs for an economical and efficient dispute resolution process. The opportunity to do this is before the heat of battle. It is during the drafting of the contract.
The ability to choose the terms of the arbitration clause is one of the signal advantages of arbitration, and it is this ability that differentiates arbitration from court litigation, where parties are bound by local court rules and the civil procedure laws of the jurisdiction in which the court sits. Drafters have the opportunity to streamline the resolution of any subsequent dispute, to ensure that it is heard by ap propriate decision makers, and to maximize the chances of enforcing the ultimate decision. Con versely, carelessness in drafting can lead to "pathological clauses" that are not en forceable, procedural requirements that are im possible to satisfy, and provisions that endanger the enforceability of the final award.1
While length constraints and the vagaries of the many kinds of contracts containing arbitration clauses preclude an exhaustive review of all of the considerations that should go into drafting an arbitration clause, we review some of the most crucial issues that should be considered. The "boilerplate" arbitration clause and the arbitration provision used in the last deal are not sufficiently tailored to be inserted automatically in all contracts.
Do No Harm
Litigation over the arbitration clause is the last thing parties want when a dispute arises and a party demands arbitration, but that is precisely what will occur when arbitration is demanded against an unwilling respondent under a poorly drafted arbitration agreement. Such agreements can prompt litigation of fundamental issues, such as whether there is an agreement to arbitrate and, if there is, what its scope is. To avoid making drafting mistakes, practitioners who are unfamiliar with the nuances of arbitration clauses should use established arbitration clause phraseology. There are excellent re - sources to assist in the drafting of the dispute resolution clause, for example, the American Arbitra - tion Association's (AAA) Drafting Dispute Resolution Clauses2 and the International Bar Association's (IBA) Guidelines for Drafting International Arbitration Clauses,3 both of which provide de tailed guidance on the subject.
The AAA Commercial Arbitration Rules (AAA commercial rules) contain the following straightforward, broad arbitration clause, which has been tested in court:
Any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this contract, or the breach thereof, shall be settled by arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Commercial Arbitration Rules, and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.4
First Steps in the Analysis
The first step the drafter should take is to raise a number of questions with the client, such as: What kinds of disputes are likely to arise? Is the client likely to be a claimant or respondent? Will there be a need for prompt resolution from a business perspective? Will there be a need to assert extra-contractual claims (i.e., claims that are beyond the subject of the contract containing the arbitration clause)? Is confidentiality im portant? Does the transaction have international ramifications? …

Published: Sunday, March 15, 2009 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, March 31, 2009 at 2:59 p.m.
RALEIGH - Duke Energy Corp.'s new $24 billion coal-fired generator in western North Carolina will be a "minor" source of pollution, North Carolina regulators said Friday, dealing a blow to environmental activists who had tried to halt the project.
The North Carolina Division of Air Quality said its assessment determined emissions of the new 800-megawatt generator, under construction at Duke's Cliffside Steam Station near Charlotte, will not reach the threshold of a "major" polluter.
The decision could allow Duke to sidestep a judge's order that the plant undergo a full environmental review to determine whether the company is using the best clean-air technology. "Minor" air polluters do not need to go through the Maximum Achievable Control Technology process.
"The first step in deciding whether to do MACT or not is deciding whether they are actually subject to it and meet the thresholds," said Keith Overcash, director of the Division of Air Quality, in an interview.
The division's analysis indicated Duke would not meet those thresholds, he said.
Though it's the first major environmental decision under new Gov. Beverly Perdue, she tried to distance herself from the announcement. Perdue had been opposed to licensing the Cliffside facility, but she said in a statement Friday that "since that permit was already issued, my job is to make sure that the emission of hazardous pollutants from this plant is kept to an absolute minimum."
Environmental groups, however, slammed the Democratic chief executive and said the decision puts public health at risk.
"We're extremely disappointed. That was not exactly what we expected from her administration," said Elyse Jung with the North Carolina Sierra Club. "She had campaigned on a pledge to reduce CO2 emissions and pollution in North Carolina. I don't think that this permit fulfills that pledge."
Overcash said the permit comes with strict controls, requiring extra testing of coal coming to the facility and the air around it.
A federal judge ordered Duke in December to undergo a full environmental assessment after environmental groups balked at the ongoing construction. U.S. District Court Judge Lacy Thornburg allowed Duke to continue building the facility but wrote at the time that it needed a thorough environmental review or the public could see "emissions capable of causing serious health problems."
Charlotte-based Duke began construction at the end of January, soon after receiving a permit. But a week later, a federal judge determined that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency violated the Clean Air Act by scrapping a policy that required utilities to install the best available technology to capture mercury - a neurotoxin that can damage developing brains of fetuses and very young children.
Duke, however, argued that it was not subject to the best-technology assessment process. After the judge's order, it applied to get a new permit that would deem it a minor polluter.

Afghanistan Enlists Tribal Militia Forces
KABUL -- The Afghan and U.S. governments have launched a new effort to enlist tribal fighters from many of the country's most violent provinces in the war against the Taliban, hoping that a tactic first used in Iraq can help turn the tide here as well.
Thousands of armed tribal fighters from 18 Afghan provinces will initially be hired to provide security for elections on Aug. 20, officials from both countries said. If the security is effective, Afghan officials say they will try to give the tribesmen permanent jobs protecting their villages and neighborhoods.
The tribal initiative is being run by a new branch of the Afghan government called the Independent Directorate for the Protection of Highways and Public Property. In coming days, officials from the agency will ask tribal shuras, or councils, in participating provinces to organize armed militias to guard polling places, roads and public gathering spaces.
Officials hope that the militias will provide an additional layer of security to support the new American strategy of trying to better protect Afghan civilians from Taliban violence.
Members of the militias will be allowed to use their own AK-47s and other weapons, but they won't receive arms, ammunition or uniforms from the government.
Afghan officials said the effort is an attempt to import a successful tactic from Iraq, where Sunni tribal fighters in Anbar Province helped drive al Qaeda in Iraq out of the area. The so-called Awakening fighters are widely thought to have played a significant role in taming Iraq's once-unrelenting violence.
"We are trying to recreate the Awakening of Iraq here in Afghanistan," said Arif Noorzai, the director of the initiative. The militias are supposed to work in coordination with the Afghan National Army and Police, but their most important role might be in areas where the Afghan security forces aren't present, Mr. Noorzai said.
U.S. and Afghan officials are concerned that the Taliban will launch large-scale attacks to dissuade Afghans from voting and sap public confidence in the broader Afghan political process. Last week, Taliban fighters fired at least nine rockets into central Kabul.
On Monday, eight Taliban insurgents raided Pul-i-Alam, a provincial capital south of Kabul, firing rockets at government buildings and sparking a gun battle that left at least 11 people dead, including the attackers.
In restive Paktika province, Gov. Abdul Quoom Katwazi said there had been a sharp uptick in insurgent infiltration from neighboring Pakistan. "Many of our enemies are trying to cross into Afghanistan to disrupt the election," he said in an interview. "There may be bad days ahead."
Mr. Katwazi said he was trying to improve security in his province by hiring roughly 1,500 local tribal fighters. The so-called arbakai fighters -- the pashtu name for the militia forces -- will be paid $150 each for the month, and the governor said he hopes to keep them on his payrolls long-term. "We are going to test this system," he said. "If it works, we will continue it."
The new program is part of a broad American and Afghan push to forge closer ties with Afghanistan's tribes, which U.S. military strategists see as powerful potential allies in the fight against the Taliban.
A senior American military official in Kabul said the U.S. was working to develop detailed intelligence about local tribal power structures to better identify which groups and leaders to seek to engage.
The official said the U.S. is also trying to steer development money and reconstruction projects to smaller, less powerful tribes as a way of counteracting the Taliban's proven success in recruiting supporters from marginalized sectors of Afghan society.
The new initiative doesn't mark the first time U.S. and Afghan officials have tried to enlist the country's tribes in the fight against the Taliban.
In a few instances, tribal militias were formed in specific parts of the country but were disbanded after they were deemed ineffective. In some cases, the militias turned to criminal activity or took part in tribal feuds.
The most recent attempt was last year, when Afghan officials created a local-militia effort in parts of eastern Afghanistan's Wardak province. U.S. officials said at the time they hoped eventually to replicate the so-called Afghan Public Protection Program, or AP3, elsewhere in Afghanistan.
Nearly 10 months later, the program remains confined to Wardak. U.S. and Afghan officials there have struggled to recruit fighters from the majority Pashtun community, and the program is disproportionately made up of minority Hazaras. The imbalance has sparked tensions between the two groups and prevented American officials from increasing the program's size and reach.
"Nobody wants to join this force and be seen as working for the government," said Roshanak Wardak, a parliamentarian from Wardak province.
Senior U.S. officials said the tribal militias will have to be closely monitored and carefully controlled to prevent them from challenging the central government or falling under the sway of regional warlords.
"This is an area where warlords and militias got a very, very bad name, so we don't want to create anything that makes the Afghan people think we're going the wrong direction," Gen. Stanley McChrystal, the top U.S. commander here, said in a recent interview. "They'll say, 'we don't want any more armed groups around here.'"
Officials from both countries also warn that tribal allegiances can be fleeting. Two years ago, international forces withdrew from the southern town of Musa Qala, leaving it in the hands of a local tribe. The tribe then allowed the Taliban to gain control of the town, forcing Western troops to invade and recapture the area the following year.
Still, tribal leaders have had some successes. Earlier this summer, tribal elders in a district of northwestern Afghanistan's Baghdis province helped broker a cease-fire in which the Taliban pledged to not attack polling centers during the presidential elections and the government agreed to remove its forces from the area. Afghan officials see it as a possible template for other peace deals.
On a recent afternoon, Gen. Dawlat Khan Zadran, the police chief for Paktika, a large, rural province of more than 1 million people, signed individual contracts for 1,500 arbakai fighters. The one-page documents said the fighters would take orders from local police and army commanders and pledge not to interfere with the balloting. "I don't have enough police to protect the people," he said. "It's a gamble, but I hope the arbakai can help."

The fire had forced the evacuation of 350 other houses and spread a smoky haze over the national park. It was sparked by a target shooter last week. But by this morning, the blaze was about 80 percent contained. Evacuation orders have been lifted. In north-central Washington state, a fire has blackened more than 3 square miles of timber and rangeland. An official says the fire subsided overnight as the wind dropped. An evacuation order for eight homes remains in effect.

Spotted Pig Brooklyn? Not a Chance
Manhattan restaurateurs consider Brooklyn while Brooklyn proprietors ponder Gotham.
With borough-hopping becoming increasingly popular, Time Out asks Manhattan restaurateurs Ken Friedman, Michael White, and Drew Nieporent if they'd open in Brooklyn (no, eh, and sure, respectively), and asks folks from Franny's, Roberta's, and Saul if they'd consider Manhattan (no, hell yes, and sure, respectively). Ken Friedman gives the most incendiary answer ("I didn't move 3,500 miles across the country to live in Brooklyn"), while Carlo Mirarchi of Roberta's says he'd like to open a crudo restaurant in Gotham. The thing about Manhattan, Carlo, is that it's much harder to build a Roberta's-style bonfire on your back patio.

Additional Information
More information about this loan
This loan is part of IMON's education program, designed to finance school tuition for students whose families have low incomes or work in informal sectors of the economy. Funds can be used for partial or complete payment of expenses related to higher education. By supporting this loan, you're enabling access to education for students with limited options.
About IMON InternationalIMON International (IMON) is a micro-deposit organization in Tajikistan that provides entrepreneurs with access to high quality financial products and services, including business loans, agriculture loans, consumer loans and micro-leases. Aiming to alleviate poverty, the organization helps unbanked individuals establish businesses in different sectors, including manufacturing, agriculture and service. Kiva lenders' funds will help the organization to expand its outreach to even more entrepreneurs, farmers and traders in Tajikistan.
Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.

My 16 yrs old son has been competing regularly in road and road TT cycling events. He wish to do some track cycling. I know that the road vs TT road frame has a different seat tube angle. Does this apply to velodrome cycling too.
My 16 yrs old son has been competing regularly in road and road TT cycling events. He wish to do some track cycling. I know that the road vs TT road frame has a different seat tube angle. Does this apply to velodrome cycling too.
The geometry from a track frame to a road frame is drastically different. Even within track some geometries can be different.
The TT frames generally have much steeper angles than anything else, track bikes included. The exception to that are TT bikes for the track, otherwise known as pursuit bikes. These can often be essentially identical to their road-going brethren, just without the derailleurs and brakes, etc.
For general track use, the bikes are actually quite similar to standard road bikes. Often they will be a degree or so steeper than the typical road bike, with less fork rake, but for the longer races (points, madison, etc.) the appropriate track frame can again be just about identical to a standard road frame.
If you are wondering if one of your son's existing bikes will work for the track, the answer is that it depends. Road bikes are safe to use on relatively shallow tracks -- those with less than 30 degree banking. They are not safe to use on any track if other people are riding brakeless track bikes on it at the same time, because the ability to coast and brake endangers those without those abilities. And they are not safe to use on tracks with steeper banking, as the relatively low bottom bracket and long cranks on the road bike substantially increase the risk of striking a pedal on the banking which can cause a crash. But by himself on a shallow track, your boy can give it a try, if the manager allows it.
If you are considering buying him a track bike, don't worry too much, and don't spend too much. A simple steel or aluminum frame with no gimmicks will do just fine, and if junior takes to the game, it can easily be traded off down the road.
A keirin frame, btw, is a specialized track frame, except when it isn't.
A true keirin frame is essentially a sprint frame, with fairly steep angles (+/- 75 degrees or so), minimal fork rake, and very stiff tubing. It is also approved by the Japanese keirin society, which is a very conservative group, so the bike will be lugged steel with spokes wheels and traditional equipment.
On the Japanese keirin circuit, that is the only type of bike you will see. On the international circuit, people ride all sorts of bikes, including standard points/madison/omnium bikes and the latest swoopy carbon aerodynamic wonder bike.
I believe he was trying to illustrate the idea that NJS approved bike specs aren't developed out of conservatism but for want of an equal playing field for gambling.

Tomato, tomaato. I call it conservative because the organization could easily approve disk wheels for everyone, aerobars for everyone, or 30cc motors for everyone, if they wanted to. It would still be a level playing field. Not that it's germane to the question...
I figured to give the OP the simplest answer possible without getting into details about the various governing bodies, etc. Anybody who feels like amplifying is fine with me.
aerobars would be silly for a keirin.
Hey, it's the irrelevant nitpick thread! Lol.
I think that the question was more about the difference between a general use track frame and a TT track frame.
Huh. I'm pretty sure I didn't just throw keirin frames into the discussion for the fun of it. Either the OP edited his post, or I'm losing my mind.
<Edit> Oh. It's actually in thread title. So I did have a point in mentioning keirin frames, but I am also losing my mind. Nice.

Track TT bikes - usually called pursuit bikes - rarely have such a dramatic difference to them. Many companies make all-arounder frames that are sort of a middle ground between the traditional, tight track frames (good for sprinting in particular - 74-75 degree angles, low rake, tight clearances) and road frames. A lot of stuff with 73.5 degree angles, which is toward the steep side for a road bike and toward the shallow side for a track bikes.
If your question is, can your son ride a TT road frame on the track, the answer is, Probably, since a lot of them have rear-facing track ends. The HTA might be a bit shallow so the appropriateness depends on the velodrome, but i've seen a bundle of people ride cervelo TT/pursuit bikes, which seem to have shallow HTA, on my local velodrome (Kissena - banking only 17degrees, somewhat bumpy, 400m track).
If you're asking whether or not your son needs two track bikes, the answer is no. Lots of bikes make for solid all-arounders. Talk to folks at your local track, take a look at what they ride and how they make changes between events. I'm pretty sure (not positive though) that even in International competition a lot of people ride the same bike... all-arounders will have a lower top tube so that aerobars can be mounted low for TTs, and then for sprints, they use a stem with some rise to put the bars at the right spot. Although for dedicated pursuitists that might not be true...
sorry to ramble.

The Target post made me think...and no,this is probably not the right place to start a money-related thread..I know there are "money" boards and groups on here....but I like you guys and want to stay here! :-)
Anyway...what are some things you do to save money?
I have been thinking about this...for one thing, I think we could save a ton of money by not constantly washing clothes so much...I think as long as the clothes aren't super dirty or sweaty, it's fine to wear them several times before throwing them in the laundry. My own family has been guilty of this...we wear something once and at the end of the day it ends up in the dirty laundry pile, whether or not it's actually dirty. Could save a ton of money on water bill and laundry detergent..plus,clothes seem to last longer if they get washed less frequently.
Other than that....obviously coupons and digital coupons (very convinient) ...public transportation,but that is not easy in the greater L.A. area...
Any other ideas?

Actress Kalki Koechlin, who agreed to do satirical video "It's Your Fault" on rising rape cases in the country, is not bothered about the criticism and says this was her way of letting the world know "what I feel" about the issue.
"I have a deadpan sense of humour. We all are so frustrated by the rampancy of rape. We all want to do something about it. This is my way of letting the world know what I feel about it," said Kalki.
The video is a sarcastic take on the rape victim-blaming that happens in the country.
"It all began with Tanmay Bhatt getting in touch with me. He didn't say what it was about. He just said he wanted to do a comic skit with me. I refused, as I was really busy at that time. But he insisted. So I told him to send the script. When I read it, I was blown by the whole treatment of the rape issue," said the star of "Dev D" and "That Girl in Yellow Boots".
The 29-year-old admitted that she wasn't sure how people would react to the video.
"We were very nervous about people's reaction. We wondered if they'd get the sarcastic tone. Would people accept us joking about such a sensitive topic?" she said.
But the feedback they got for the video before its release was heartening.
"Friends reacted so well. But we never expected the video to go viral in such a way. In fact, we've been told to translate the English-language video into other Indian languages to make it accessible to a larger audience," said Kalki.
She also revealed that Tanmay is working on a Hindi version of the video.
Kalki defends the concept stoutly, "We didn't want to force-feed the message. At the same time we wanted the point to get across without accusing anyone. As for those who didn't like it, I guess there will always be people who criticise what you do. If you are in the limelight, you might as well be used to it."
She feels it is wrong to blame cinema for the increase in crime against women.
"To blame Bollywood or the way a woman dresses for the rapes is ridiculous. Women in saris and salwar-kameez are getting raped. Five-year old children are raped. In such cases, rape has nothing to do with women dressing provocatively," said the actress, who thinks rape wouldn't stop if actresses will stop wearing bikinis and doing item numbers.
But at the same time she admits that actors and other artists have a social responsibility.
"Our cinema should take the subject of sex seriously and women should have more powerful roles in cinema. And innovative ideas like our video surely helps," said Kalki.
"There is a growing audience for films that address women's issue. The fact that our video 'It's Your Fault' has reached out to so many people proves there's a socially aware audience out there," she added.
Kalki feels there is not enough theatres to show serious issue-based cinema.
"We have a great deal of variety in films, but not enough space for it. I just hope we find the balance."
When asked if she would be willing to work in a sex comedy like "Grand Masti", she said: "I don't think so. I haven't seen 'Grand Masti'. I can't comment on it."
"But as a thinking woman I won't do something I won't relate to. I do a film if I like my character. I didn't have the main role in Ayan Mukerjee's 'Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani'. But I liked the script. Right now, I am doing a girl-bonding film 'Jiah Aur Jiah'. We have so many male-bonding films. So, this is a change," she added.
