As i posted earlier, i got my bike today. Well, after dinner tonight, i wanted to go riding, but felt the tires first. The front is fine, but the rear tire is a lot lower. I can easily squeeze the tire. I sat on it and it looked real flat. There is still air in it, but looks to low to ride.
The tires say 41-55 psi. It was filled to 55 when i left the LBS. My question is, are these tires good enough to hold my weight? Is the tire pressure low just because i rode it? Am i going to have to air it up every morning, and again after i ride 6 miles?
My weight was my concern when buying this bike, but i was assured it would be no problem. The Trek navigator was the same price, i considered that bike since the tires were wider.
I am excited to have this bike, but now feel upset. Your advice, is it just the tire, or me? Thanks.
It is a Trek 7100, 700cc tires. No, do not have a pressure guage or pump yet.

dsa.mac when I right-click on a computer and choose "Manage", it displays the following error message:
Can't find path to computer \\computer.domain.tld.
If I try
ping computer.domain.tld, DNS translates it to an IP but the computer does not answer. It is right that ping does not answer? Pinging a computer that is not joined to the domain replies as expected.
How can I correct this issue?

AT the accession of Charles X., the royal family, properly speaking, consisted of six persons only, -- the King, the Duke and Duchess of Angoulê?me, the Duchess of Berry and her two children (the Duke of Bordeaux and Mademoiselle). By the traditions of the monarchy, the Duke of Angoulême, as son and heir of the King, took the title of Dauphin, and his wife that of Dauphiness. The Duchess of Berry, who, under the reign of Louis XVIII. was called Madame the Duchess of Berry, was by right, henceforward, called simply Madame, a privilege that belonged to the Duchess of Angoulême before she was Dauphiness. That is why the Gymnase, the theatre under the special protection of the Duchess of Berry, was called, after the new reign began, the Théâtre de Madame.
Born at Versailles the 5th of August, 1775, the Duke of Angoulême had just entered on his fiftieth year. A tender and respectful son, an irreproachable husband, a brave soldier, he was lacking in both brilliant and solid qualities. His awkward air, his bashfulness, his myopia, his manners rather bourgeois

"Trigrad - the magic of the Rhodope Mountains" Trigrad by omega77
Trigrad Travel Guide: 28 reviews and 90 photos
The small and picturesque village of Trigrad is situated in the Western Rhodope Mountains almost at the edge of border between Bulgaria and Greece. The nearest towns around are Devin – 26 km to the south and Smolyan – 40 km to the west.
The road to the village is quite narrow and follows the Trigrad River for several kilometers before go through the breathtaking Trigrad Gorge. The Gorge is a phenomenal natural karst formation with 250- meters high walls on both sides of the road. In the beginning, the distance between the two walls is about 300 m, but reaches about 100 m in the north.
Apart from the Gorge, the Trigrad region is home of about 150 caves. However, only two of them, the Devil's Throat and Yagodinska caves, are open for ordinary tourists, and if you enjoy trilling adventures you should visit the Haramiiska cave.
The Muslim and Christian culture and traditions go hand in hand in the village. So, it is not surprising that you can see a Christian church and a Muslim mosque build side by side.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) - New Mexico guard Tony Snell will forgo his senior season to enter the NBA draft.
The 6-foot-7 Snell says ``in my heart, I feel like it's a good decision to leave now.''
Newly hired Lobos coach Craig Neal was at Snell's side when he announced his plan to turn pro.
Snell averaged 12.5 points per game this past season and hit a team-high 64 3-pointers. He was the Mountain West tournament MVP.

Overall good
This review is from: Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor PC Game
Pros: Easy game to jump right in to. Decent enough of a plot to keep you mostly entertained.
Cons: Eats up GPU RAM like crazy with no real reason as to why since the graphics are similar to many other games. Game play is almost a mirror image of AC but more glitches(not sure if this is a newer game engine and may need some tweaking?) For example when fighting the control to hurdle over an enemy is the space bar. To climb is also the space bar so if you want to try to flee a fight and you press space bar when facing a wall to climb, if there is an enemy at your back you are more likely to turn around and hurdle him instead of climb the wall you are actually facing.
Other Thoughts: It will be interesting to see if this game gets tweaked with the possibility of a series and performs better as far as controls go. Until then this is a decent game that keeps me occupied.

"We have medicine in the doctor's hands, because I am concerned about the inner ear and the altitude for myself," said Mulkey, whose team is 38-0 heading into the game Sunday against Stanford. "Now, for the team, I've had them visit with our strength and conditioning coach and (the trainer) on hydration, drink a lot of water prior to going."
Each team is making a pretty dramatic leap up in elevation.
Notre Dame boasts the highest campus of the four at around 725 feet above sea level. Connecticut (600 feet) and Baylor (470 feet) aren't too far behind, while Stanford (23 feet) is hardly more than three Brittney Griners (the Bears star who stands 6-foot-8) above sea level.
"Altitude will tweak them a little bit, but not too much — 5,200 feet is not that bad," Drum said.
Chiney Ogwumike of Stanford certainly agrees.
"When the heat of the game starts going, it goes away," Ogwumike said. "You're going to push yourself to the limit."
Ogwumike and the Cardinal have some experience playing at altitude this season, winning at Colorado and in Utah by a combined margin of 45 points.
"It definitely takes some getting used to, but that's a tiny factor," said Stanford's Nnemkadi Ogwumike, a finalist for the John R. Wooden Award given to the top women's college basketball player. "It's the Final Four. I'm not even really thinking about that."
A good strategy, really.
Here's another helpful hint, on the house and courtesy of Colorado women's coach Linda Lappe: Get a good sweat going before the game.
"You really do have to warm up differently maybe than in lower elevations," said Lappe, whose Buffaloes play down the road in Boulder, where the elevation is 5,430 feet. "If you don't get a sweat going before the game starts, you'll get a little bit winded and the first eight minutes could really be painful. But as long as you do that, I don't know if there's much difference."
And remember this: Mind over altitude — at least to a degree.
"One of our most fundamental human drives is to breathe. So, we really don't like anything to change the way we breathe," said Dr. Robert Roach, the director of the Altitude Research Center at the University of Colorado School of Medicine. "It's such a primal instinct to breathe and we're hard-wired to not let anything get in the way of us and a lungful of air. If we get psyched out by that, we lose the mind-over-altitude challenge. If players relax and adjust well, they'll do just fine."
The Irish played their regional round in Denver on their way to the 2001 national title. Back then, coach Muffet McGraw's approach to altitude was simple: "We really didn't do anything," she said.
And this time?
"I'm not planning to do anything special," McGraw said.

Mini Bio (1)
William Clark Gable was born on February 1, 1901 in Cadiz, Ohio, to Adeline (Hershelman) and William Henry Gable, an oil-well driller. He was of German, Irish, and Swiss-German descent. When he was seven months old, his mother died, and his father sent him to live with his maternal aunt and uncle in Pennsylvania, where he stayed until he was two. His father then returned to take him back to Cadiz. At 16, he quit high school, went to work in an Akron, Ohio, tire factory, and decided to become an actor after seeing the play "The Bird of Paradise". He toured in stock companies, worked oil fields and sold ties. On December 13, 1924, he married Josephine Dillon, his acting coach and 15 years his senior. Around that time, they moved to Hollywood, so that Clark could concentrate on his acting career. In April 1930, they divorced and a year later, he married Maria Langham (a.k.a. Maria Franklin Gable), also about 17 years older than him.
While Gable acted on stage, he became a lifelong friend of Lionel Barrymore. After several failed screen tests (for Barrymore and Darryl F. Zanuck), Gable was signed in 1930 by MGM's Irving Thalberg. He had a small part in The Painted Desert (1931) in 1931. Joan Crawford asked for him as co-star in Dance, Fools, Dance (1931) and the public loved him manhandling Norma Shearer in A Free Soul (1931) the same year. His unshaven lovemaking with bra-less Jean Harlow in Red Dust (1932) made him MGM's most important star.
His acting career then flourished. At one point, he refused an assignment, and the studio punished him by loaning him out to (at the time) low-rent Columbia Pictures, which put him in Frank Capra's It Happened One Night (1934), which won him an Academy Award for his performance. The next year saw a starring role in Call of the Wild (1935) with Loretta Young, with whom he had an affair (resulting in the birth of a daughter, Judy Lewis). He returned to far more substantial roles at MGM, such as Fletcher Christian in Mutiny on the Bounty (1935) and Rhett Butler in Gone with the Wind (1939).
After divorcing Maria Langham, in March 1939 Clark married Carole Lombard, but tragedy struck in January 1942 when the plane in which Carole and her mother were flying crashed into Table Rock Mountain, Nevada, killing them both. A grief-stricken Gable joined the US Army Air Force and was off the screen for three years, flying combat missions in Europe. When he returned the studio regarded his salary as excessive and did not renew his contract. He freelanced, but his films didn't do well at the box office. He married Silvia Ashley, the widow of Douglas Fairbanks, in 1949. Unfortunately this marriage was short-lived and they divorced in 1952. In July 1955 he married a former sweetheart, Kathleen Williams Spreckles (a.k.a. Kay Williams) and became stepfather to her two children, Joan and Adolph ("Bunker") Spreckels III.
On November 16, 1959, Gable became a grandfather when Judy Lewis, his daughter with Loretta Young, gave birth to a daughter, Maria. In 1960, Gable's wife Kay discovered that she was expecting their first child. In early November 1960, he had just completed filming The Misfits (1961), when he suffered a heart attack, and died later that month, on November 16, 1960. Gable was buried shortly afterwards in the shrine that he had built for Carole Lombard and her mother when they died, at Forest Lawn Cemetery.
In March 1961, Kay Gable gave birth to a boy, whom she named John Clark Gable after his father.

|Experiments conducted in a Toledo Ohio school are used to examine the use of signals from simulated heat detectors by incident command. Two approaches are examined. The first is to use the signal from ceiling mounted thermocouples to deduce conditions in the fire room and hallway. The second approach is to process these signals using the Sensor-Driven Fire Model to provide additional information to incident command. It is found that both methods show promise but additional testing is necessary before either method is deployed.

Estherville Daily News (Newspaper) - January 23, 1976, Estherville, Iowa January Deadline For New Licenses ESTHERVILLE - Persons must purchase their 1976 license plates and stickers on or before Saturday, Jan. 31, or face a five percent penalty, according to Jim Blekfeld, Armstrong, Emmet County treasurer. Blekfeld says that automobiles, trucks, trailers, motorcycles and mobile homes are included in the Jan. 31 deadline. Friday, Jan. 30, is the final day the courthouse is open for the month, but Blekfeld said that all mail orders for new license plates and registrations would be honored if postmarked on or before Jan. 31. "The pickup date for failure to have new registrations will be March 14," Blekfeld adds. "We're now about 600 sales behind last year for auto registrations," Blekfeld adds in noting he expects long lines at the treasurer's office late next week. Iowa Cattlemen Elect John Greig President DES MOINES - John Greig of Estherville was elected president of the Iowa Cattlemen's Association at its 76th annual convention in Des Moines Wednesday. Other officers elected included Bill Schimmer of Latimer and Bob Anderson of Clarinda, vice presidents; Joe Feldman of Terril, secretary; and Wayne Anderson of Yale, treasurer. Sheriffs Department Checks 127 Accidents ESTHERVILLE - One fatality and $121,159 in damages were involved in 127 accidents investigated by the Emmet County Sheriff's Department during 1975. The fatality occurred on July 16 when Burt Edward Thompson, Spirit Lake, was killed in a car-truck collision 3% miles west of Armstrong on Iowa Highway 9. In addition to the one fatality, there were 64 personal injuries in the accidents, 51 of which involved two or more cars and 76 single car crashes. The seven accidents reported during April was low for the year although they did include five personal injuries. February and September each had eight accidents and May nine. December, with 16 accidents, and November, with 14 accidents, were high for the year. Emmet County Sheriff Richard Dahl also reported that the Sheriff's Department served 1,240 papers during the past year, compared to about 1,600 the previous year. "But we made more than 1,240 trips," Dahl adds, "because we had to make several trips to serve some of the papers when we were unable to locate anyone."

Tony Theesfeld, Estherville, was elected as vice chairperson and Steve Woodley, Estherville, was re-elected secretary. A solid waste disposal proposal from the city of Fairmont, Minn., was presented to ECCOG members. According to a letter from Gailen O. Narum, Fairmont city engineer, the city of Fairmont would be willing to receive Emmet County's solid waste, unshredded and at no charge, if Emmet County would transport the waste to Fairmont. Fairmont is in the process of building a new solid waste treatment plant that can handle 150 tons of solid waste a day. Three ECCOG members, Bill Kolpin and Woodley, Estherville, and Jack Richmond, Armstrong, were named to a committee to meet with Fairmont city officials to find out more about the process and potential costs involved. They will report back at the next ECCOG meeting.

"This makes a mockery of the home rule principle," said Sen. William Gluba, D-Davenport, the only member to vote against the measure approved 13-1. "We're saying you can't raise your budget more than 6 percent while we - the state - are raising ours by 10 to 12 percent," Gluba said* "I think we've acted in haste." SEN. NORMAN RODGERS. D-Adel, committee chairman, set a public hearing for next Wednesday at 6:30 p.m. in the Senate chamber so local officials could comment on the proposal. Meanwhile, the measure goes to State Government Committee because it would create a new state board. The chairman of that committee, Eugene Hill, D-Newton, said he doubts it will take very long for his committee to send it to the Senate floor. The bill would limit budget growth of the political subdivisions for the next two years. GOV. ROBERT RAY proposed similar legislation in his State of the State message as a way to curb increased property taxes, Without such legislation, local governments could raise property tax dollars collected from individuals - without raising millage rates - because of recent property revaluations ordered by the State Revenue Department. Ray also suggested that a lay committee be appointed to study the whole area of property taxes and how local government should be financed. The committee has not yet studied that proposal.

TtoBert Ray said Friday. "If they start having hearings on all House Passes Two Bills Patching Election Laws DES MOINES (AP) - Two bills to patch up errors and technical flaws in a major revision of state election laws passed last year were passed by the Iowa House Thursday. One, approved 68-19, would eliminate the requirement that persons using the new postcard voter registration form must sign it before a notary public. The other, passed 87-1, would make a number of technical corrections. But the House also tacked on an amendment to compromise a dispute over the time when the polls are to close. Both Gov. Ray Not VP Candidate DES MOINES (AP) -, Gov. Robert Ray says he is not a candidate for vice president but would consider the post if it were offered. Commenting Friday after President Ford mentioned him and seven other Republicans as possible running mates, Ray said, "I think that's very nice of him. I'm not a candidate for anything, but I would certainly consider it if it were offered." Ray said he had not talked with Ford about the possibility of joining the ticket. bills now go to the Senate. REP. RICHARD Drake, R-Muscatine, objected to further liberalizing the new postcard registration system. "We keep on spoon feeding the voters so that they don't have to make any effort to register," Drake complained. He said the postcard registration form could be used for fraudulent purposes, such as proof of legal age to buy liquor and beer, and county auditors would have no way to check on validity of the information supplied by the registrant. BUT REP. W. R. Monroe, D-Burlington, said he favors making it as easy for Iowans to vote as possible. He said less than 38 percent of those eligible voted in the nation last year. "If spoon feeding is what we need to overcome that, then spoon feed we must," Monroe declared. The time for closing the polls in any election was set last year at 9 p.m., an hour later than has been the case for many years. BUT THE HOUSE voted Thursday to provide an 8 p.m. closing for local nonpartisan elections while keeping the 9 p.m. closing time for state primary and general elections. the appointments, we'll have a full time legislature in a hurry," Ray explained. \ Hearings on the reappointment of � Petersen, Harlan, and Regents Ray Bailey, Milford, and Donald. Shaw, Davenport, are being scheduled. The Iowa Higher Education Association told senators that hearings would be advisable. "We've seen times these appointments have been cut up and down simply because they were Republicans," Ray said in response to the Democratically-controlled legislature. Mrs. Petersen is a Republican while Shaw and Bailey are Democrats. "With some of this business they go through, sometimes it's not easy to get capable, competent people to serve," Ray said. The governor said they are sometimes sharply questioned in confirmation hearings and take a lot of "flack" while serving. Say Abortion Issue Dead WASHINGTON (AP) - Despite some intensive lobbying for a constitutional amendment banning abortion, both advocates and opponents of such a ban say there is no chance that Congress will approve such legislation this year. Thousands of antiabortionists from around the United States visited members of the House and Senate Thursday to urge support for such a ban. But Rep. Albert Quie, a Minnesota Republican who has introduced one of the amendments pending in the House, said the issue is dead in the 94th Congress Budget Growth mittee is currently studying variations of the same proposal and other methods to hold down local property tax increases. OFFICIALS NOTED that whatever action taken must be done soon because local budgets must be certified in March. "It's going to be a great benefit to local government to get it done and get it done fast," said Sen. Roger Shaff, R-Camanche. The measure would limit the allowable growth of all political subdivisions, except for cities with populations of 500 persons or less. Officials said there are 493 Iowa cities with less than 500 residents, but those residents make up only 2 percent of the state population. EXEMPTED FROM the 6 percent maximum growth would be federal funds, interest on government loans, money authorized in special elections and pension, retirement and Social Security costs. Most parts of school budgets would also be exempted as they are limited in other sections of the law. ' MUNICIPAL UTILITIES would be prohibited from increasing charges for gas, water, heat or electrical power by more than 6 percent, but could pass on extra fuel costs to customers. If a city or county had an emergency, it could appeal to one of three appeal boards for an exception. The board could then allow the political subdivision to increase its budget.

Pelosi: There isn't enough revenue in the fiscal cliff deal
**Written by Doug Powers
The temporary fiscal cliff deal raised taxes $41 for every $1 in spending cuts, and that's just not enough on the revenue side, according to Nancy Pelosi this morning:
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., argued that additional revenue must be included in upcoming deficit reduction deals, calling the revenue secured by the "fiscal cliff" deal "significant" but "not enough."
"The President had originally said he wanted $1.6 trillion in revenue," she said on "Face the Nation." "He took it down to 1.2 as a compromise in this legislation. We get $620 billion dollars, very significant, high-end tax, changing the high-end tax rate to 39.6 percent, but that is not enough on the revenue side."
Pelosi declined to go into particulars, saying she was "fairly agnostic" about how to secure more revenue, but implied that closing loopholes and deductions was more likely than revisiting tax rates.
Asked to respond to House Speaker John Boehner's proposal that Congress should match a debt ceiling hike with commensurate spending cuts, Pelosi said "I don't think these two things should be related."
"I think that we should subject what we spend, every taxpayer dollar, whether it be defense or domestic, to the harshest scrutiny," she said, but argued that has nothing to do with "whether the full faith and credit of the United States of America should be placed in jeopardy."
Pelosi seeking new revenues already should be fairly cringe-inducing to working people wondering what just happened to their paychecks.
Debt and spending shouldn't be tied together? In January of 2007, Pelosi said this: "After years of historic deficits, this 110th Congress will commit itself to a higher standard: Pay as you go, no new deficit spending. Our new America will provide unlimited opportunity for future generations, not burden them with mountains of debt."
In January of 2011, Pelosi said this: "Deficit reduction has been a high priority for us. It is our mantra – pay as you go" (the needle flew off the laugh-meter because she said after after presiding over a $5 trillion debt increase as Speaker). Now, in January of 2013, debt and spending should be unrelated. Go figure.
Pelosi also said she wants to eliminate tax subsidies to entities that "don't need them." If so, why not begin by scrapping the Hollywood tax breaks that were in the fiscal cliff deal? Hollywood's been begging the government to raise their taxes, so she should start with the people who want to pay more. Yeah, I know — and risk being disinvited from appearing in the season finale of 30 Rock? Not a chance!

Towards a Reconsideration of Social Evolution: Symbiosis and Its Implications for Economics
Watkins, John P., Journal of Economic Issues
Renewed interest among economists in Darwin's theory has generated confusion regarding the meaning of social evolution. Does social evolution refer to the selective adaptation of institutions as advanced by old institutionalism? Or does evolution reduce to rational calculation as advanced by neoinstitutionalists, sociobiologists, and neoclassical economists? The confusion is revealed by Lamar Jones's query: if Darwin's theory of evolution supports the neoclassical vision, how can proponents of old institutionalism describe their theory as evolutionary [Jones 1986]?
The debate between the old institutional and neoclassical economists finds a parallel in a debate that has recently emerged among biologists. Most biologists adhere to the neo-Darwinian synthesis, a combination of Darwin's principle of natural selection with Mendelin genetics. Species evolve gradually, the result of random changes in the genetic code in light of natural selection. Competition rules.
Recent research in biology, however, cast doubts about the simplistic vision of evolution presented by the neo-Darwinists. The theory of symbiosis in particular makes two points. First, evolution is not always gradual. New species may arise from the merging of two or more species. Second, evolution may also result from "cooperation." The symbiotic theory focuses not on the individual organism as the unit of "selection," but on the relationships that in fact define the "individual" organism.
The confusion over evolution stems from a fundamental methodological difference. Are organisms best understood in terms of their relationships with other organisms? Or are living organisms biological atoms engaged in a competitive struggle for survival? If evolution results from a competitive struggle among biological atoms, how do we explain cooperation? For neoinstitutionalists, the institution that defines how individuals cooperate turns on which institutions minimize costs [Rutherford 1995]. Cooperation and altruism reduce to rational calculation of self-interested individuals. Sociobiologists, with whom neoinstitutionalists and neoclassical economists uncritically agree, take the reduction one step further. Rational individuals are products of "selfish genes." As Richard Dawkins boldly claims, the "predominant quality to be expected in a successful gene is ruthless selfishness. This gene selfishness will usually give rise to selfishness in individual behavior" [Dawkins 1976, 2].
The emerging debate requires a reconsideration of social evolution. This reconsideration involves a number of issues. First, what do institutionalists mean by social evolution? How do we reconcile Veblen's use of Darwin's theory with Jones's claim that Darwin's theory supports the neoclassical view? How does the institutionalist view of social evolution differ from the neoclassical view as expressed in new institutional economics? Second, what elements does Darwin's theory share in common with sociobiology and neoclassical economics? To what extent do these elements "mirror" the culture of nineteenth-century market economy? Third, are there problems with the neo-Darwinian synthesis that undermine the socio-cultural view of evolution, a view characterized by its claims to the superiority of Western institutions, culture, and outlook? How does the theory of symbiosis overcome these problems while also supporting a vision of social evolution held by institutional economists?
Reconciling Darwin, Veblen, and Ayres
It was only a matter of time before someone questioned the validity of Veblen's use of Darwin. In an article appearing in the Southern Economic Journal, Lamar Jones argued that institutionalists have followed Veblen down a blind alley [Jones 1986]. Jones assumes that since the classical economists influenced Darwin, and since Darwin influenced Veblen, Veblen unwittingly criticizes the very doctrines that underlie Veblen's evolutionary approach.(1)
Jones's critique evokes three responses. …

Caisson Foundation
- The foundation system of and the soils beneath the building prevent the complex from moving vertically.
- When a load is placed on soil, most soils settle. This creates a problem when the building settles but the utilities do not. Even more critical than settlement is differential settlement.
- This occurs when parts of your building settle at different rates, resulting in cracks, some of which may affect the structural integrity of the building. Conversely, in some rare instances soils may swell, pushing your building upwards and resulting in similar problems.
- Therefore, the foundation system must work in tandem with the soils to support the building.
- It's a prefabricated hollow box or cylinder
- It is sunk into the ground to some desired depth and then filled with concrete thus forming a foundation.
- Most often used in the construction of bridge piers & other structures that require foundation beneath rivers & other bodies of water
- This is because caissons can be floated to the job site and sunk into place
- Basically it is similar in form to pile foundation but installed using different way
- used when soil of adequate bearing strength is found below surface layers of weak materials such as fill or peat
- It's a form of deep foundation which are
- constructed above ground level, then sunk to the required level by excavating or dredging material from within the caisson
- A caisson foundation consists of concrete columns constructed in cylindrical shafts excavated under the proposed structural column locations
- Caissons are drilled to bedrock or deep into the underlying strata if a geotech eng. find the soil suitable to carry the building load
- It's created by auguring a deep hole in the ground
- Then, 2 or more 'stick' reinforcing bar are inserted into and run the full length of the hole and the concrete is poured into the caisson hole.
- The caisson foundations carry the building loads at their lower ends, which are often bell-shaped.
- Box Caissons
- Excavated Caissons
- Floating Caissons
- Open Caissons
- Pneumatic Caissons
- Sheeted Caissons
- Economics
- Minimizes pile cap needs
- Slightly less noise and reduced vibrations
- Easily adaptable to varying site conditions
- High axial and lateral loading capacity
- Extremely sensitive to construction procedures
- Not good for contaminated sites
- Lack of construction expertise
- Lack of Qualified Inspectors
Caisson Foundations
- A drilled pier is a deep foundation system that is constructed by placing fresh concrete and reinforcing steel into a drilled shaft.
- The shaft is constructed by rotary methods using either a self-contained drill unit or a crane mounted drill unit. The hole is advanced through soil or rock to the desired bearing stratum. Temporary or permanent steel casings may be used to maintain the sides of the drilled excavation if caving soils or water infiltration becomes a problem.
- Drilled shafts can be used to sustain high axial and lateral loads. Typical shaft diameters range from 18 to 144 inches.
- Caisson foundations are similar in form to pile foundations, but are installed using a different method. Caissons (also sometimes called "piers") are created by auguring a deep hole into the ground, and then filling it with concrete. Steel reinforcement is sometimes utilized for a portion of the length of the caisson. Caissons are drilled either to bedrock (called "rock caissons") or deep into the underlying soil strata if a geotechnical engineer finds the soil suitable to carry the building load. When caissons rest on soil, they are generally "belled" at the bottom to spread the load over a wider area. Special drilling bits are used to remove the soil for these "belled caissons".
- Drilled shafts (also called caissons, drilled piers or bored piles) have proven to be a cost effective, excellent performing, deep foundation system, that is utilized world-wide. Typically they are used for bridges and large structures, where large loads and lateral resistance are major factors.
- Caisson foundations are used when soil of adequate bearing strength is found below surface layers of weak materials such as fill or peat. A caisson foundation consists of concrete columns constructed in cylindrical shafts excavated under the proposed structural column locations. The caisson foundations carry the building loads at their lower ends, which are often bell-shaped
- A 10″ or 12″ diameter holes are drilled into the earth and embedded into bedrock 3 to 4 feet. Usually used for the structural support for a type of foundation wall, porch, patio, monopost, or other structure. Two or more "sticks" of reinforcing bars (rebar) are inserted into and run the full length of the hole and then concrete is poured into the caisson hole. A caisson is designed to rest on an underlying stratum of rock or satisfactory soil and is used when unsatisfactory soil exists
- After some initial form work and concrete pours, the cutting edge is floated to the breakwater by towboat and fastened to the caisson guide. Concrete is placed (poured) into steel forms built up along the perimeter of the box. With every concrete placement, the box becomes heavier and sinks into the water along the caisson guide.
- Forms are also built inside the box around the air domes and concrete is placed in between. The resulting open tubes above the air domes are called dredge wells
- When the caisson finally touches the river bottom, the air domes are removed and earth is excavated through the long dredge well tubes, as shown in the animation below. The caisson sinks into the river bottom. Excavation continues until the caisson sinks to its predetermined depth
- As a final step, concrete is placed (poured) into the bottom 30 feet of the hollow dredge wells and the tops are sealed.
Straight Shaft Drilled Piers (Caissons)
- Used in moderate to high swelling soils. (This is one of the most effective foundation designs for use in sites that contain expansive soils.)
- Purpose is to attain required penetration into zone where there is little or no seasonal moisture variation. Current standard of care in the area is a minimum penetration of 6 feet into bedrock and minimum length of 16 feet. Dead loads should be as high as practical. This design requires relatively long spans between piers and more reinforcing in grade beam.
- Caissons into bedrock
- Friction Piers into stiff clays
- End Bearing Belled Piers
- Appropriate Voiding – Should be constructed with void material (Wall Void™) of appropriate strength and thickness
Fig: A series of 1.2-metre thick diaphragm wall panels were joined to form a 24-metre diameter caisson shaft. Four of these caissons were built to provide a sound base for the foundation of the main structure of the building tower. The photo shows the excavation work using typical excavating machines inside one of the caisson shafts.

Rutland to discuss surveillance cameras
RUTLAND The city is discussing the idea of using security cameras to monitor its most crime-ridden neighborhoods.
One landlord suggested the idea to the Board of Aldermen on Monday after one of his properties was the site of a home invasion.
Cam Johnston said he has no problem with cameras monitoring people walking down the street.
The matter was referred to the Public Safety Committee with almost no debate.
City Police Chief James Baker said a surveillance program in residential areas would have to be a community decision.
He said the city already had a number of privately owned security cameras around businesses. Baker said vandalism dropped around the downtown train station after cameras were installed there.MORE IN Vermont NewsBURLINGTON Bill Lee is fielding so many phone calls hes beginning to have second thoughts...

The excretion of dyes offers a problem which is of interest from a variety of standpoints. It has a physiologic application on account of the light which it may throw on the functions of the excretory organs, and on the mechanism utilized by the body for the removal of waste material. Pharmacologically, it offers a simple method for the investigation of relationship between chemical structure and excretory function. Finally, it affords the clinician an instrument of precision in determining excretory activity. The method was introduced many years ago in the study of kidney function, and a variety of dyes have been employed for this purpose, of which the one in most general use today is phenolsulphonephthalein. An attempt has been made to study liver function in a similar manner, but the procedure has not proved entirely successful. The present paper reports on certain observations which throw new light on various

This is probably the wrong thread to post this in but after reading both Mr. X and twocow's posts (the notion that killing can't be defensive and that tasers/pepper spray being illegal or hard to get a hold of), I question on whether I should even feel "safe" in our current world. Not because of increase in gun crime, but because there are so many laws being passed and people who spit in the face of self-defense that it seems virtually impossible to defend yourself, even in life or death situations, and not get slapped with the notion that you are the criminal, not the person who was threatening/attacking you.
Guns, tasers, knives, and pepper spray are all defensive weapons as far as I'm concerned and placing severe restrictions on any of them, no matter how lethal they are, make me feel unsafe. Killing in self-defense is defensive, even with guns, not the other way around. Of course, there are limits to self-defense; equal force must be met in equal measure. If someone is threatening you with a knive, a gun might be overkill, but if someone is threatening you with a gun and you have one of your own, what are you going to do...wait for him to fire first?

In my Windows 7 install, I partitioned my hard drive into C: and E: and I redirected the following folders from my User profile folder to E:
- Application Data
- Contacts
- Desktop
- Favorites
- My Documents
- My Music
- My Pictures
- My Scans
- My Videos
My User profile folder itself, along with the rest of its contents, is/are still on c: in their original locations. Also, my FF profile folder is on E:.
The beauty of doing this is that I can restore images of c: without affecting the data in the folders I put on E:.
I know most malware installs to, and lives on, the System (c:) partition, so that when I restore an uninfected image to c:, those infections are magically and perfectly healed.
My question is, other than malware that runs as I open an infected file (like MS Office, pdf, exe, etc), are there other kinds of malwares that could reside/hide in one of the folders on E: (so that they would survive after I restored an uninfected image to C:)?
Also, for malware types that actually install/place infection files around a computer, does anyone know of any that would automatically place any of its files into any of those folders I redirected to my E: drive?
Update: I edited to list the exact folders redirected to e:
Update 2: Anyone else know of any malware like I'm asking about?

Vermont GOP expected to offer amendment to budget
MONTPELIER – Having failed in their bid to derail a tax bill that would raise more than $20 million in new revenue next year, House Republicans have now turned their focus toward changing the ways in which Democrats want to spend the money.
The GOP super-minority will offer an amendment to the budget Friday that would ax spending on new programs and redirect the money to buy down public-pension obligations and bolster rainy-day reserves.
The amendment will undoubtedly fail, and by a wide margin. But House Minority Leader Don Turner said his caucus is at least making its points.
"Vermont needs to get its fiscal house in order,"Turner said Thursday. "It's already very expensive to live in Vermont. And these (budget and tax) bills make it much, much worse."
Turner said that at the outset of the session, he presented House Speaker Shap Smith with the conditions that would be needed to earn his caucus' support for the fiscal year 2014 spending plan. They included: an overall spending increase of not more than 3 percent; limiting new employees to the 17 positions needed to staff the new state hospital; and the creation of a $20 million reserve to absorb looming cuts in federal aid.
"We knew full well we wouldn't achieve everything on this, but we hoped to see some movement on some," Turner said. "This budget being brought to the floor does not do that."

Help me out here, because I'm half convinced I can't do what I want and half convinced there should be a suitable workaround.
I have a DLL that's implemented in C++ and so exports some classes to other C++ modules that link to it. That's fine. Now I want to link to this DLL from a C module (another DLL), so I will provide a "flattened" C interface and handle the C++ stuff internally. That's also fine.
The problem is that I want to supply this to C or C++ clients as a single .h and associated .lib. So I have something similar to the following in my DLL:
#ifdef DLL_EXPORTS
#define DLL_API __declspec(dllexport)
#define DLL_API __declspec(dllimport)
// export a class for the C++ clients
class DLL_API CExportedClass
// etc. etc.
// export flattened C interface for non-C++ clients
#ifdef __cplusplus
extern "C" {
DLL_API void DoSomethingInternally(); // i.e. implementation uses CExportedClass
#ifdef __cplusplus
Of course, this works fine when imported into a C++ module, but it fails to compile when imported into a C module because it doesn't recognise the
class declaration.
So am I wrong to think I can even do this? Do I need to split into two headers? Is it correct and acceptable to use
#ifdef __cplusplus around the
class declarations (or some other kind of
Really struggling for a "clean" answer here.

Oklahoma baseball: With a pair of aces and strong defense, Sooners are in position for another run
NORMAN — The NCAA's legislative curveballs have crippled some college baseball teams.
Not Oklahoma.
Few programs have rolled with the changes as well as the Sooners, who have transitioned flawlessly from power ball to small ball, big bats to big arms.
One of just seven teams posting 40 wins in each of the past four seasons, OU is positioned for another run at that lofty victory total — maybe more — behind a pair of aces, solid defense and a station-to-station offensive approach.
It's not how the Sooners rolled into Omaha in 2010, when Garrett Buechele and Co. bashed their way to the College World Series. But that way is outdated, with the NCAA's deadening of the bats forcing teams to adapt or else.
"Especially now, since the ball's not going to leave the yard, it's more important to be good at the little things," OU coach Sunny Golloway said. "We have to get guys in scoring position. If you want to sit and wait on either of two things, that's the home run or the defense to mess up, I'd argue by saying the BBCOR bat is not going to let you wait for the home run. You're going to be old and gray.
"And two, if you're waiting on the defense to mess it up, sure, some of your opponents are going to, but those are going to be the teams you handle anyway. We're trying to prepare ourselves to beat the very good teams.
"Clearly, our goal is to get back to Omaha. I try to tell our guys every day how important skill and bunting are."
Following the 2010 trip to Omaha, OU has been in the NCAA Tournament each of the two seasons since — despite heavy personnel losses — including a Super Regional appearance last spring.
Going into this season, which begins Friday with the opener of a four-game series at home against Hofstra, the Sooners carry the Big 12's favorite tag and a national ranking as high as No. 14 among the four polls.
Their appeal is based on those little things Golloway preaches about, but also two big assets: starting pitchers Dillon Overton and Jonathan Gray.
Two of the region's premier prospects, Overton and Gray were clutch down the stretch for the Sooners a year ago, sparking a late-season surge that carried through the Charlottesville Regional and host Virginia and just short of Omaha, with OU eventually falling in the Super Regional to South Carolina.
Overton, a left-hander with control of four pitches, finished 6-3 with a 3.15 earned run average and 126 strikeouts in 122 2/3 innings. Gray, a power right-hander, went 8-4 record with a 3.16 ERA a year ago.
Together, they represent two of the Big 12's four players on the Preseason Golden Spikes Watch List.
"We are two different kinds of guys," Gray said, "left-handed, right-handed, two different bodies, two different kinds of pitchers. It works really well. It will throw off teams."
Golloway believes he has another ace-quality arm in lefty Billy Waltrip, a junior college transfer who will round out the weekend rotation. Along with a set rotation, the Sooners return key parts in outfielders Max White and Matt Oberste and infielder Jack Mayfield to a lineup bolstered by several highly rated additions.
So expectations, as have become the norm, are Omaha or bust.
"I think we definitely have the pitching and defense," Golloway said. "Scoring with these new bats is still a challenge, will always be a challenge. Our guys are doing a good job, they're working hard on the bunting game and they're working hard on getting it out of the air and to hit-and-run, keeping it simple — moving the guys up, scoring one run an inning.
"That'll be our goal, with our pitching and defense and maturity, I think we have a chance."

Actually, I feel that social pressures can make people gay, just like how social pressures can make people "straight". I have friends who got caught up with all that born this way, orientation-questioning stuff, with no small help from Lady Gaga, just to have him dismiss it as a "phase". I felt pressure to question my own sexuality as well, but that doesn't turn out well when you end up feeling like you're searching for something that isn't there. That stuff can get you super-paranoid when you don't fit in to contemporary society.
It's a bit of a side-track, but just like how homosexuals have been stigmatized into repression for the vast ages, I feel that pressure can go both ways.

text: Neutrino transformation could help explain the mystery of matter Science 28 June 11 by Dave Mosher Peter Ginter / Fermilab Two research teams have found new evidence of transformations in elusive elementary particles called neutrinos. The findings may finally help explain why the universe didn't vanish shortly after its birth."These results are just the beginning of the story for neutrinos," said physicist Robert Plunkett of Fermilab in Chicago. "They could lead to clues...and tell us why there's now far more matter than antimatter."Most neutrinos are emitted by the sun, and are so small and ghostly that billions pass through our bodies every second. Most go right through Earth without hitting anything. But some human-built devices -- slabs of iron and plastic, big chambers of oil or water lined with photon detectors, or detector arrays plunged into seawater or Antarctic ice -- can record the blip of light when a neutrino occasionally slams into an atom.Using these detection events, physicists have identified three types of neutrino, called muon, tau and electron neutrinos. Further discoveries suggested that each type can transform into another, with muon-to-tau neutrino transformations being dominant, at least in particle-accelerator-powered experiments.Researchers proposed a third and weaker change, that of muon-to-electron neutrinos, but until now lacked evidence for its existence.On 14 June, the Japanese Tokai-to-Kamioka experiment reported the significant detection of muon-to-electron neutrino changes. On 24 June, the Main Injector Neutrino Oscillation Search (MINOS) experiment at Fermilab reported on the same phenomenon. While the ranges of their data varied, the basic claims jibed."[The values] differ because we used different techniques and distances, but they overlap at one part. They're complementary" said Plunkett, a co-spokesperson of MINOS. They may differ only because of statistical fluctuations, he said.With a more complete understanding of neutrino transformation in hand, Plunkett said physicists can now design experiments to investigate larger questions about the universe. The largest among them: Why there's far more matter than antimatter.Matter and antimatter particles annihilate when they meet. Each type is thought to have appeared in equal proportions shortly after the Big Bang, yet the matter-rich universe as we know it still exists. As a result, physicists are seeking evidence of "asymmetries" in which matter-antimatter encounters end up emitting more matter particles.Some matter-favoring asymmetry shows up in the annihilation of quarks, though the effect is relatively meager. But physicists say a muon-to-electron neutrino transformation supports the possibility of more significant asymmetries."We now have a good enough handle on neutrinos to design experiments and try to address such a big mystery," Plunkett said.

Aaron Carroll, blogging on The Incidental Economist was "all riled up to get angry" over a Health Affairs paper that suggested "that the higher-cost US system of cancer care delivery may be worth it." He wrote:
So much wrong here. First of all, it uses the old survival rate/mortality rate swap that Ive discussed here and here and here and here and here. If you want to show that things are better, study the mortality rate, not the survival rate.
More importantly, there is nothing in this study nothing that proves that spending more is what improves things, even if things are better. Theres no causality at all.
So I braced for the worst in the media. But then Sharon Begley became my new hero:
Cancer patients in the United States who were diagnosed from 1995 to 1999 lived an average 11.1 years after that, compared with 9.3 years for those in 10 countries in Europe, researchers led by health economist Tomas Philipson of the University of Chicago reported in an analysis published Monday in the journal Health Affairs.
Those extra years came at a price. By 1999 (the last year the researchers analyzed), the United States was spending an average of $70,000 per cancer case (up 49 percent since 1983), compared with $44,000 in Europe (up 16 percent). Using standard figures for an extra year of life, the researchers concluded that the value of the U.S. survival gains outweighed the cost by an average $61,000 per case. The greater spending on cancer care in the United States, they conclude, is therefore worth it.
Experts shown an advance copy of the paper by Reuters argued that the tricky statistics of cancer outcomes tripped up the authors.
This study is pure folly, said biostatistician Dr. Don Berry of MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston. Its completely misguided and its dangerous. Not only are the authors analyses flawed but their conclusions are also wrong.
Wait is that actual reporting, and not a rehashing of a press release? More, please! …
Please go read the whole thing. And then start a campaign to get Sharon Begley a raise and a promotion.
We Welcome Comments. But please note: We will delete comments that include personal attacks, unfounded allegations, unverified facts, product pitches, profanity or any from anyone who doesn't list what appears to be an actual email address. We will also end any thread of repetitive comments. We don't give medical advice so we won't respond to questions asking for it. Please see more on our comments policy.
Kudos to Sharon Begley for digging deeper into this story. I found similar serious problems in the Health Affairs piece, including the lead time problem as well as not mentioning the cost of treatments that cause only pain and suffering at the end of a cancer patient's life. Here's a link to my post on Reforming Health blog: http://reforminghealth.org/2012/04/11/is-the-high-cost-of-cancer-care-really-worth-it/

Had mine since April, 1500 miles of sheer fun, very responsive and handles well on our pot holed A & B roads in the South West.
Best tip - wait for an aftermarket flyscreen, the Triumph one is useless and expensive (£175).
Buy one, you will not regret it!
Posted: 14/10/2009 at 08:31
Had mine about 4 weeks (1000mile) just getting used to it, very light and easy to ride would suite just about any rider as its very tame at low revs with a very broad power band but goes like the space shuttle above 8 grand.
Brake are really good and very progressive, well balanced.
Get a wind blast about 75-80 so long hauls may be tiring but still lots off fun, quality seems good only complaint is that they dont give you a hugger, tool kit flyscreen as standard. Switched the silly blue gear change lights off as they were doing my head in.
Its sounds great and it can get a bit addictive as it encorages you to give it the beans.
I will keep this for few years, looking forward to the 2010 IOM

Sold a CBR6 in August bought a STR Sept 09
Bad points (yes I found 2)
Dunlop Qualifier front tyre and Dunlop qualifier rear tyre
They were sssoooooo bad I had to get rid of them after 2000 miles still life in them but the grip was so bad there may not have been life in me by the time they required changing
Metzler Roadtec Z8's have transformed the bike into what it was meant to be
Great scratcher at weekends, commuting is a joy the engine allows you to filter as there is always power, forget gears it does not matter
touring, yes you can, get creative in fitting luggage with arrow under seat exhausts
This bike is everything I wanted, amazingly it out does the CBR on everything. Press always said that CBR 6 was the best all round bike, sorry disagree STR does it all better with a much bigger grin whilst doing it
I can see why Triumph were caught out and can't make enough, bad business model (sorry criticism Triumph) but the only one I have
I wonder how many other STR's will be at the IOM TT?

My missus enjoys going on the back of mine without any complaints,after an hour a break is reccomended though
Posted: 21/02/2013 at 18:14
Had one and put 9,000 miles on it, the best bike I ever had. It will out do most other bikes on the twisties and is very comfortable and the engine is one of the best.Suitable for new and experienced riders, it made me feel like Barry Sheen.
Get one you will not be disappointed.
But please bring back the round headlights.
