Hi there,
I have a Pan with a Linkert M-74B. The engine idles well when the low speed needle is at only 1/2 turn from fully in. This seems very lean but the engine idles perfectly. When I open the throttle the engine starts missing, shoots, backfires and finally dies. No acceleration is possible. When I turn the low speed needle out to about 2 to 3 turns, accelaration is possible (when riding it still misses when I try to accelarate quickly) but at idle it's too rich, smokes a lot and finally dies.
What was already done: carburator cleaned, Float level checked and set to 1/4 (black foam float), new float valve and seat (with the rubber tip), main nozzle changed to the proper (5 air bleed hole) one, all new gaskets at the manifold, ignition checked, new points and condesor, timing adjusted, new spark plugs, different coil tested, valve play adjusted.
The fixed jet in the carburator has the number 108. Is that the propper one?
What else can there be??
Thanks for any advise!

New award honors DCSO captain wounded in duty
Published: Monday, August 19, 2013 at 12:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, August 16, 2013 at 3:52 p.m.
Davidson County Sheriff David Grice said an award being named in honor of one of his captains was long overdue.
So, this past week the sheriff announced the William A. Kepley Meritorious Service Award will be given to deputies who go above and beyond their duties. DCSO Capt. William A. "Bill" Kepley was wounded as a patrol deputy in 1996 while responding to a call in the Midway community.
"We felt like he was sort of overlooked at the time," Grice said.
The award stems from an incident in November 1996 when Kepley responded to an elderly woman's house. The sheriff explained a 20-year-old man was attempting to rape the woman. She identified the suspect, Grice said, and Kepley encountered the man, who shot him in his left leg. Kepley was out of work for about 10 months, and a rod was placed in his leg.
"It's truly an honor," Kepley said. "It really is. It's been a while. You try to let stuff like that be bygones, but it's nice when you are appreciated for it."
Kepley, a 1986 graduate of Lexington Senior High School, has been with the sheriff's office for about 20 years. He is the captain of the DCSO Civil Division. Kepley is married to wife Sherry, and they have two grown children, Tiffany and Molly. While Kepley was injured after the shooting, the incident resulted in him being assigned to the civil division, and he was able to work a schedule during the day.
"It's been a blessing — really," Kepley said of the 1996 incident. "I don't think I would be where I am today if it hadn't happened. It put my family at ease."
Not only was Kepley's award announced this past week, Grice also said four deputies would receive the award for two incidents from this year.
Davidson County Detention Center Officers Thurmon Gallimore, Tiffany Stirewalt and David Dillard were on duty in May when a woman attempted suicide in the jail. Grice said the deputies were able to stop the suicide, perform CPR and take her to the hospital. The sheriff said it's his understanding the woman has recovered.
Antonio Jefferson, a DCSO civil deputy, also received the William A. Kepley Meritorious Service Award for stopping and assisting a Winston-Salem Police Department officer earlier this month who was trying to make an arrest. Jefferson, while in his personal vehicle, was on his way to work when he saw a female WSPD officer having a hard time arresting a man. The sheriff said the female officer was arresting the man for possession of cocaine, had one handcuff on him and was struggling. Grice said Jefferson's efforts saved an escape and injury to the Winston-Salem officer.
"We want to recognize he was doing what we expect," the sheriff said. "He was doing what I appreciate and what I expect of my folks."

France-based producer, M83 (Anthony Gonzalez), recently released a video teaser to promote his double album due this October. Starting off with a stripped down recording setup, the scene crescendos into a grandiose landscape of atmospheric visuals. Given this video, it's not surprising that Gonzalez explains his forthcoming project as "very, very, very epic" and "mainly about dreams." According to Pitchfork, the album will feature collaborations with Zola Jesus and Brad Laner.

Men's Basketball Rolls Over Columbia, 65-40
In a 65-40 win, Princeton outshot Columbia 56.1 percent to 34 percent, outrebounded the Lions 32-23, and kept themselves to 11 turnovers while benefitting from 12 giveaways for the home team.
Princeton improved to 13-9 overall and 6-2 in the Ivy League while Columbia fell to 10-13 overall and 2-7 in the Ivy. Princeton has won 10 of its last 13 games since a 3-6 start.
The Tigers gained no ground on first-place Harvard, though. The Crimson were 65-47 winners over Brown in Rhode Island. Both teams will have road games tomorrow, Princeton at Cornell and Harvard at Yale. The Ivy leaders will then meet next Friday in Jadwin Gym in a game televised by ESPNU.
Princeton trailed only early against Columbia and never again after putting together a little 6-0 run that gave the Tigers a 13-8 edge six minutes into the game. Princeton's largest lead was 31 points inside of the final three minutes before Columbia scored the game's last six points.
The Tigers' breakaway began in earnest when Columbia endured a scoring drought of more than seven minutes bridging halftime. At the start, Princeton led 27-20 before going on a 15-0 run that buried the Lions under a 22-point deficit less than two minutes into the second half.
Denton Koon may have had the biggest bounce-back of any individual player, seeing a seven-game double-digit scoring streak end with seven points at Harvard and answering with a career-best 23 points tonight. He and Ian Hummer were the only Tigers in double figures, with Princeton splitting the 65 points among nine players.
Maodo Lo, a Columbia freshman who had his career high against Princeton earlier this month with 16 points, found success against the Tigers again, leading his team with 15 points.
Postgame notes
• Ian Hummer continued his march toward becoming the second-leading scorer in program history. His 17 points gives him 1,518 for his career, trailing only Kit Mueller '91 (1,546) and former teammate Douglas Davis '12 (1,550) behind Bill Bradley '65 (2,503).
• Princeton's seniors completed a career sweep of Columbia and will have the chance to do the same against Dartmouth next Saturday night in Jadwin Gym. The last time a class went 8-0 against Columbia was the Class of 2005.
• The score was Columbia's lowest output against Princeton since a 63-35 Tiger win in Jadwin Gym on Feb. 7, 2009. It was Columbia's lowest score against Princeton in Manhattan since Jan. 29, 1999, when the Tigers won 46-40 in Levien Gym.
• The 25-point margin of victory was Princeton's largest over Columbia since a 76-46 win at Levien Gym on Feb. 11, 2011.
• Princeton has taken five of its six Ivy League victories this season by double figures. The only Ivy game Princeton didn't win by 10 or more was the Columbia game in Jadwin Gym on Feb. 2, a 72-66 Tiger win.
• Denton Koon's 23 points topped his previous career best of 22 points from Feb. 1 of this season against Cornell. The sophomore has reset his career best four times this season, all since Dec. 20.
• No Tiger had more than four rebounds in the game. Ian Hummer led Princeton with five assists.

Fit in the First State is brought to you by the team at ATI Physical Therapy, a nationally-recognized physical therapy and sports medicine provider with over 200 locations nationwide and 24 right here in the First State. From stretching programs to exercise routine tips, our team brings you valuable health and fitness-related posts to help you get there to reach your health goals.
Lose weight. Run a new race. Build muscle. Do one of these sound like your New Year's resolution? You're not the only one! Americans routinely make fitness and health-oriented resolutions, only to give up on them in a few weeks later.
So, why do we make these lofty fitness goals only to throw in the towel before February? Andrea Weber, a certified athletic trainer and sports medicine supervisor at ATI Physical Therapy, shares some of the pitfalls we often face and how to fix them.
You try too much too soon. Too often, people will start their exercise programs with long, intense exercise and then experience soreness or injuries right away. Make small goals, such as doing a routine for 20-30 minutes, and gradually work your way up.
You don't know what you're doing, but you don't ask for help. If you're not familiar with developing fitness and muscle-building routines, find someone who is. Many gyms offer sessions with certified personal trainers who can help develop an exercise program that's right for you. This will help you get the most out of your workout and avoid injury.
You're not realistic about your time and commitment. If you can't hit the gym for a ninety-minute sweat session every day, that's okay. Figure out what you can do and commit yourself to that. Maybe it's Zumba twice a week or jogging for 30 minutes around a local neighborhood while your child is at soccer practice. Whatever it is, develop a realistic plan and stick to it.
You get too comfortable on one exercise or machine. Mix up your routine for optimum results. Don't stick to just one machine or one exercise. For example, if you're focusing on cardio, alternate between the treadmill, elliptical, bike, etc. This allows you to work various muscle groups and gives your joints a break, which can help prevent overuse injuries.
You're not getting the nutrients you need.Do you think that by cutting out all carbohydrates you'll lose weight? You may lose a pound or two, but you won't be able to get through your work out with carbs, which act as your primary energy source during a workout. Therefore, learn what your body needs and fuel it with the right foods. If you're focusing on muscle building, be sure to get enough lean protein which helps rebuild muscle. Here is an easy way to determine how much protein you need:
Sedentary adults: Multiple your body weight by .4
Active adults: Multiple your body weight by .5
Adult that is lifting to increase muscle mass: Multiply your body weight by .6 to .9
Ready, set, get fit!

Just Business
|Just Business
Big Smoke asking Carl Johnson if he can count on his help against the Russian Mafia.
|GTA San Andreas
|Big Smoke
|Russian Mafia
|Idlewood, Los Santos
|Reuniting the Families
|Unlocked by
|Wrong Side of the Tracks
Just Business is a mission in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, given to protagonist Carl Johnson by Big Smoke from his home in Idlewood, Los Santos, San Andreas.
Carl drops by Big Smoke's house and finds him in the garage. They agree to take a ride somewhere Smoke has business to take care of. They head to Commerce and Big Smoke enters the Atrium there. After a brief moment, a shoot-out is heard inside and Carl quickly rushes inside and protects Smoke from attacking Russian Mafia goons. Once all the Russians are dead the two hop on a BF-400 and start to escape. Carl acts as the shooter and kills as many enemies and on the way they jump above a ramp of a Packer to escape a roadblock and all the Russians there die in a huge explosion while the bike survives. After a long chase, Big Smoke rides through an alley and in East Beach, as the two have lost all the Russians and agree to split up.
- A scene in the mission featuring a Packer jumping off a surface road in slow motion into a storm drain channel which Big Smoke and CJ are using to escape is a nod to a similar scene in the 1991 film Terminator 2: Judgment Day, where a large towtruck (driven by a Terminator) executes a similar stunt as it is pursuit of John Connor (also riding a motorcycle).
- The BF-400 in this mission has the numberplate reading "IMY AK" (Similiar to the Feltzer in End of the Line).
- Using the armor cheat while on the bike causes it to explode; killing both Big Smoke and CJ.
- This is the only mission for Big Smoke that does not involve any Vagos in it.
- There is a glitch where, if the bike explodes in the sewer control paths and kills Big Smoke before it says the bike is totaled you will get to keep all of you weapons for the rest of the game (even when you die and get arrested) and you have unlimited ammo for SMG, Micro-SMG, or TEC9 until you complete the mission.
- The song at the start of the cutscene is Biz Markie - The Vapors. This song can also be heard on Playback FM.
- When you reach the old sewer you dont have to shoot off the gate to get through.
Carl Johnson arrives to help Big Smoke fend off the Russian gunmen.
Carl and Smoke run for a nearby PCJ-600 to escape the Russians.

All things Mother Earth Living
by Robyn Griggs Lawrence, Editor at Large
remodeling project, resale value, energy savings, indoor air quality, home renovation,
Today eLocal.com, a portal to help consumers find businesses and services in their areas, published a preview of the results from their fourth Blog-Off, in which more than 50 home improvement experts answered the question: what remodeling projects have the best resale value? The following excerpts are from the top five comments.
Most Insightful: David Strum, ATD Remodel
"Surveys by both real estate agents and builders agree that over 70 percent of today's buyers are looking for a ready-to-move-in home. For many, an out-of-date kitchen or master bath is the deciding factor between one home or another."
David challenges people to look at resale value on a more fundamental level, carefully evaluating what they consider "value" and putting themselves in the shoes of a home buyer. Balance saving money with quality; "cheap" doesn't equal "value." Cheap usually means shoddy construction, unreliable materials, and poor visual design. By evaluating a project from the home buyer perspective, homeowners will get a better return on investment.
See the rest of David's comment here.
Most Unique: Tanya Stock, Vida Verde Build
"We are now moving away from the standard 'kitchen and bath' response to looking at what overall improvements to home's energy efficiency and performance. This means performing a Home Audit to find out where leaks and imbalances are…Finding ways to reduce the homes energy consumption (including water use) and its overall indoor air quality through technological and design improvements.
Both buyers and sellers will need to have demonstrated annual energy savings as a means of differentiating their property from those similar and through measurable means that could be the significant element that sets a home apart than just another granite counter top."
See the rest of Tanya's comment here.
Best Articulated Comment: Jason Ball, Jason Ball Interiors
"When I first meet potential clients, I always ask them the 'how long do you plan on being in the home?' question. If the time frame is longer than seven years, then I say they should make the home their home and not worry about resale. Less than this, and the conversation is very different—we focus on making the home look great but keeping the material costs down. Colors tend to be very neutral and we'll decorate with color in the wall color and accessories.
More than anything, a home buyer wants to be able to walk into your home and feel they can move in right away and just live. There's no hassle or headache."
You can see the rest of Jason's comment here.
Most Thought-Provoking: Valorie Hart, Visual Vamp
"I hate that people don't just live in their homes for themselves and for the moment. The last years have brought about this whole mentality of buying a home with an eye on potential re-sale, and not for putting down roots. You should live in your house with the things you love…Marketing has caused this upturn in preparing a house for a buyer rather than making improvements and fixing up things for yourself, and enjoying them while you are living in your house."
See the rest of Valorie's comment here.
Best Advice: Lori Gilder, Diary of a Renovation
"If you want to spend your money wisely and make your renovation dollars work the best for you, having a home renovation strategy could potentially save you thousands. Determining how much to spend on those home improvement projects—or at least which ones will provide you with the greatest ROI—will require a little research on your part.
To really take a sneak peak into the renovation market, I highly recommend checking out Remodeling magazine's annual Cost vs. Value report. It's a fabulous resource where homeowners can compare national and regional averages for about 33 home remodeling and renovation projects in about 80 cities."

Our self-knowledge expands.
At 57, I know who I am. I can't be shaken from my own point of view the way I could when I was younger. I find that my knowledge of myself grounds me in tough situations. I would never want to be in my twenties again. As one woman in my book says, "I'll take the body, but I wouldn't want the life."
We become more adept at relationships.
As we get older, we bungle our relationships less and less. Getting better at communicating makes a huge difference, as does the ability to gauge our own and others' needs more accurately. Bonds with old friends keep deepening. With our intimate partners especially, we can take responsibility for the parts of ourselves that are hardest to deal with – because we finally know ourselves well enough to do so.
Our decision-making improves.
It is such a relief to know a thing or two about life. Gradually, we accrue the hard-earned benefits of hindsight. We look back at our earlier mistakes and misadventures, seeing where we went wrong and what we could have done differently. Then we get to weigh current choices on the basis of experience rather than conjecture.
We feel more confident.
Youth is full of self-doubt and insecurity. We have to grope to find our way. It can seem that everyone else has their act together, but what's really going on is that we keep our most troubling doubts concealed from one another. By the time we reach midlife, we realize that we each have our share of travail. The anxiety from comparing us to others finally eases and our sense of inner security increases.
Our courage multiplies.
It is so much easier to take risks, once we get through hard times and prove to ourselves that we possess durable strengths. We gain a much greater grasp of the mixture of luck and diligence required to live a good life. We know so much more about what contentment looks like and how to seize it when we can. Often, a wonderful kind of freedom and courage emerge from this consciousness.
We become more vivacious.
In my late twenties, when I began to spend most of my professional time with elders, I was astonished at how lively so many of them were – once I pushed aside my negative bias. I had been making the common mistake of measuring life according to physical standards. The real action is interior. This is where all the transformative discoveries reside that cannot be seen externally and to which we tend to have little access until we have experienced them ourselves.
Our spirituality deepens.
As we endure losses in getting older, spiritual matters begin to take precedence over petty concerns. Bereavement often grants us an overarching perspective. The soul enlarges. We develop a burgeoning interest in matters that have little to do with our external strivings – questions of meaning and legacy. The progression of this inner dimension is exciting because it is limitless and completely our own.
We become more generous.
Most of us find that the need to contribute to the greater good becomes more intense as our focus on self-promotion fades. Our sympathy towards others widens as we realize we are all essentially the same in facing the vicissitudes of life. The more we express interest in others, the more compassion flows back to us in an ever-enlarging circle.
We slow down and see more.
To slow down is to become more alive. The quality of attentiveness becomes more important than the quantity of experiences. We can make the ordinary magical by seeing more of it and peeling backs the layers that we missed when we were hurrying through. This is why someone inching along with a walker may have a radiant look.
We live fully in the moment.
The older we get, the less prone we are to putting off what we really want to do. We are more open and curious because we are more aware of our mortality. We realize that this is it – right now – our one and only life. We are less willing to squander our time. We pay more attention to the relationships that really matter to us and to the experiences that we want to embrace as fully as possible. Unexpected pleasures become abundant.

Earthjustice is suing the federal government to adopt federal protections for coal ash, which contains toxic chemicals like arsenic, mercury and lead, is dumped into unlined and unmonitored pits and landfills every day, threatening drinking water supplies, aquatic life and public health.
Case Overview
A few years ago, the American public had never heard of coal ash. But on December 22, 2008, one billion gallons of the toxic sludge erupted from a holding pond in Tennessee and buried local homes, shorefront and miles of river —and coal ash burst onto the national stage.
Coal ash is the toxic waste that remains after coal is burned—it's loaded with dangerous heavy metals that can cause cancer, reproductive harm and other diseases. Despite the national attention after the Tennessee disaster and the presence of more than a thousand other unsafe dump sites across the country, the EPA has scarcely lifted a finger to protect the American public from this danger.
On behalf of 10 public interest groups and the Moapa Band of Paiutes, Earthjustice sued the federal government to adopt coal ash protections.

Sneaking in here while Kathy's hard at work plotting the conference timetable to make a pitch for a friend of SiWC...
Author Robert Dugoni has a history with our conference. He's the guy who came up with-- and generously allowed us to share -- the motto 'This Day We Write'. He has crossed the border for years, helping educate hundreds - probably thousands, by now, of our writer attendees.
And then there was the whole thing about the shirt...
[What? You think I'm gonna show you the whole picture? Come on -- you must know by now that what happens in Surrey, stays in Surrey...!]
But yes, this is a man who literally gave us the shirt off his back.
And right now, his latest thriller, MURDER ONE is available for download as an ebook for just $1.99. So, I implore you -- [yeah, that's me in the picture above, imploring, can't you tell?] to go out and buy copies of this book so that we can put a shirt on this man's back again!
Here's the link. Go forth!

I saw this "live" and I can tell you I will never be the same again! It's hard to read his books and not think about his "manly" nakedness!

Going forth...
Didn't get to see this live (lucky Tricia!), but have seen the video several times. What a hoot! I'm wondering what he can do for an encore this year. :)
Now going forth to buy!

Post subject: ISO....Looking for suggestions.
Hello all....I'm new here, but definitely not to romance novels. I've been an avid reader for over 20 years. When I say avid, I mean that at any given time I'm always reading one or two books. My favorite genre is historical romance, but I also enjoy romantic suspense, murder/mystery, paranormal and vampires, etc. I look forward to participating here.
Ok, I do have a question. I'm looking for book suggestions for historicals. My main interest at the moment are books that are centered around gambling/gentleman's clubs. Where the hero of the story meets his heroine in one of these clubs. Maybe she works there, or maybe she's just there for whatever reason. I remember reading one years ago, and I can't recall the name of it(or author), but the gentleman's club had an upstairs where the men could take their women, and the hero met a woman in the club...thought she was a whore and proceeded to take her to a room. But she ended up being a lady, and at the club looking for someone. It was a very good read! I'd like suggestions that are similar to this, if anyone can recommend something good.

Off the top of my head:
DREAMING OF YOU by Lisa Kleypas (The hero, Derek Craven runs a gaming hell and I think they had rooms upstairs.)
THE DEVIL IN WINTER by Lisa Kleypas (The heroine, Evie Jenner, inherits her fathers' gaming hell and her husband Sebastian St. Vincent ends up running it.)
ONE NIGHT WITH A PRINCE by Sabrina Jeffries (The hero, Gavin Byrne, one of three bastard sons of the Prince of Wales, owns a gaming hell.)

A number of Lisa Kleypas's books have connections to gambling halls, the two above are both excellent reads. Others include:
Then Came You: The heroine frequently gambles and her game with the hero plays a major role in the story.
Mine Till Midnight: The heroine meets the hero outside of a gambling hall where she's gone to get her brother (the hero works there) but other than this it's not a major focus of the book.
While not technically all part of the same series these books are all interrelated and the same two clubs are featured in all of them (they're also mentioned in several other books but don't play a major role).
Duchess by Night by Eloisa James: This doesn't technically take place in gambling hall or men's club but has a similar feel-the hero is known for the wild men's club like atmosphere at his home and no respectable society woman would attend.
One Night is Never Enough & In Total Surrender by Anne Mallory: The hero's run a number of gambling halls and much of the story's take place there.

Curtain Up!
THE PARTY A night of breathtaking music—and a dash of drama—was in store for the more than 3,300 black-tie guests who convened at the Civic Opera House for the opening night gala and Opera Ball hosted by the Lyric Opera of Chicago's Women's Board. THE SCENE After the welcome reception and stunning performance of Giuseppe Verdi's Otello, more than 500 guests hopped on complimentary shuttles that whisked them to the Hilton Chicago for the lavish Opera Ball, where their arrival was announced by a group of trumpeters. The elite crowd mingled over cocktails before heading to the lavishly appointed Grand Ballroom for a dinner of poached pear salad, filet al forno and lemon ricotta tart, followed by dancing to the Stu Hirsh Orchestra. By the end of the evening, approximately $900,000 was raised for the Lyric. THE HIGHLIGHTS At the close of Act I, it was announced that singer Falk Struckmann, playing Iago, had fallen ill. His understudy, Todd Thomas, was swiftly called into action and delivered a stirring performance that garnered a well-deserved standing ovation from the entire audience.

What are they parameters of brov am hadras melech? is it a requirement or a hiddur? does it apply equally to men, women and children? why does it not seem to apply to zimun (preferable to split into multiple groups)?

Perhaps by Zimmun you are referring to the concern that the group will not hear the leader. Recall that Zimmun originally meant that the leader said all the blessings out loud and everyone fulfilled their obligation by listening. Thus if you couldn't hear the leader in a big room then you did not fulfill the biblical obligation of bentching.
(Note also that generally speaking, you cannot break up a minyan for zimmun because then you lose the opportunity to say the zimmun with God's name. You can however break up a larger group into smaller groups so long as you don't switch from a zimmun of 10 to one of 3 or from one of 3 to alone. (Shulchan Aruch OC 193:1))
Here is a relevant piece of the Shulchan Aruch there which perhaps you are referring to:
This is the only reason I can think of that it would be preferable to split into groups. Otherwise I imagine Berov Am should apply.

If you get the sense that it's difficult to find a job in today's tough market, well, it's more than a feeling. A new analysis from the National Women's Law Center finds adult women's unemployment rose to 7.3 percent in December, making it higher than that of adult men for the first time in more than six years. (The rate for men is holding steady at 7.2 percent.) The figures show it really is hard to find work – and if you're older than 50? It's even harder.
"There is a sort of paradox here," says Joan Entmacher, vice president for Family Economic Security at the NWLC. "On the one hand, the unemployment rate is lower for older workers 50 and above than for younger workers; experienced workers are more likely to keep their jobs and they're less likely to be laid off. But if an older worker loses a job—and this is true for both men and women—it takes her much longer to get back into the labor force. Experienced workers tend to have a longer duration of unemployment; a much higher percentage of jobless older workers are unemployed for a year or more. So, while their seniority on the job has helped them stay in the labor force, if they are laid off, they have a harder time going back to work."
And, if they do, eventually, land a new gig? Goodbye, old paycheck.
"[Older workers] are likely to take an even larger pay-cut than other jobless workers who get reemployed," Entmacher says. "Many middle tier jobs, particularly, have disappeared, and, overall, the trend is that the jobs that are coming back are lower paying."
With more job seekers than jobs, older workers also face age discrimination, according to Entmacher.
"Clearly, age discrimination has been a factor for many people," she says. "We have a law on the books against it, but if an employer prefers to hire younger workers for any reason, it can be easier to find a young worker to fill a job who might be willing to work for lower pay."
There are also employers who discriminate against those who are unemployed for any length of time, Entmacher adds.
"Because older workers are more likely to have been laid off for long periods of time, that's another disadvantage," she says. "In a tough labor market, if you are in a group that experiences discrimination, it's just harder to get a job. There are more obstacles in the way."
Entmacher says Congress can work on creating policies to protect older Americans by banning discrimination against unemployed workers, and suggests retooling work force investment programs, so that they aren't just geared toward younger workers.
"Those programs should be strengthened and required to address the needs of older people who want to work," she says. "Some older people have barriers to employment that are caused by the need to submit online applications, even for jobs that don't require computer skills. Or they don't know how to use LinkedIn or other services that are relevant to finding a job today, because it's been so long since they've looked for jobs that they're not familiar with current techniques. So, while some people will need retraining for careers, others could benefit from simpler services."
But don't curl up in the fetal position quite yet. All hope is not lost. We spoke with Dr. Lois Frankel, author of See Jane Lead and Nice Girls Don't Get The Corner Office, for advice on finding a job.

Designed specifically for agricultural applications
We have finally found an easy-to-use livestock feed nitrate test that will give you results in 30 minutes. Now you can eliminate the hassles, time and expense of sending samples to a lab. Everything you need to test nitrate levels is included in each kit, including a standard to compare to the color of your individual samples. Make informed harvest and feeding decisions and protect your livestock from nitrate toxicity, especially during periods of drought. Nitrates accumulate in the bottom portion of the stem during drought conditions, so you can use this test to determine your harvesting height. Kit tests silage or any standing crop including corn, hay, wheat or oats. Testing range is 0-2,000 ppm and the standard is 1,000 ppm nitrate-N. Nitrate-N quantities over 1,000 ppm can be hazardous to livestock. Five-test kits include one standard, and 25-test kits include five standards. Instructions included. USA made. Specify either five- or 25-test kit.NOTE: 1 ppm nitrate-N = 4.4 ppm nitrate.

Miami Dolphins Wrap: Gossip running wild
Here's a few tidbits of information that will become very useful to you over the next few months.
1. People in NFL circles, and those on the peripheral, gossip like junior high school girls.
2. The standards for what's deemed journalism these days have become obsolete. Some outlets believe in it. Some don't. And those who do have begun to fold to the pressure of those who don't.
3. People in the media routinely get used to accommodate other people's agenda. Just because you're fed it doesn't mean its right. But why bother with accuracy when it's a juicy bit of gossip.
Put it out there and see your clicks dance.
That's how the NFL game – the one that surrounds the game – gets played. Sometimes it gets messy, and the Miami Dolphins are at that point considering the franchise is off to an 0-6 start.
At this point you could throw just about any bag of poo against the Dolphins wall and it would stick. Media outlets would run with it, the fans would pick up their pitch forks, and true or not, reputations and credibility gets damaged for everyone but the person who wrote it.
I generally try to stay out of the muck because I value my integrity over clicks, but sometimes you've got to get your hands dirty.
There are reports from CBSsports.com that the Dolphins, through "intermediaries," have contacted people close to former Steelers coach Bill Cowher about replacing Tony Sparano.
This very well could be true because Steve Ross' friend and business partner, Carl Peterson, is friends with Cowher. I've consistently informed you Peterson is the one football person Ross trusts and consults with, even if he's not on the payroll.
Hall of Fame quarterback Dan Marino, who still has affiliations with the Dolphins, sits next to Cowher every Sunday during their CBS broadcast. Marino certainly fits into the "intermediaries"category and might just be gauging if Cowher's FINALLY ready to come back to the NFL as a coach.
Let us not be naive to think Marino and Cowher haven't talked about the Dolphins at some point during their seven weeks together this season.
Also, this could EASILY be a ploy by Cowher's agent to drive up his television contract, or his asking price for when he eventually returns to the NFL. Hell, it worked for Jon Gruden two weeks ago. I hope you don't think his new ESPN contract – which really means NOTHING – was a coincidence?
But those thinking Ross has anything to do with this gossip, especially after the Jim Harbaugh debacle back in January, are misguided.
Ross knows his NFL reputation is already damaged, and sources inside the organization say "he's doing everything in his power to repair it in NFL circles."
Talking to Cowher, or Jeff Fisher, or Jon Gruden, or any other prospective candidate about coaching or running the Dolphins - before firing Sparano - is tacky and would harm the franchise AGAIN.
Plus….here's an important piece of information everyone is overlooking. We don't even know which General Manager, or new team czar will be making this football decision. Ross is very aware he doesn't have the skills to do it on his own, and the jury is still out on whether Jeff Ireland is safe.
But it is a good, juicy bit of gossip, and at this point the national media has taken on the pile on approach….so carry on.
I have no interest in denying it, defending it, pouring gas onto it. Just trying to help you understand the game we're playing, and you're watching.
While I might defend Ross on this topic, I am pointing the finger at him for creating an "every man for himself mentality" within the organization, which I suspect know has poisoned the 2011 team.
I've sat on that information/theory for a while, hoped the coaches, players, front office figured found a way to pull it together. That CLEARLY hasn't happened.
The Dolphins are a bad team because the acting General Manager has been a disappointment, Sparano has been too conservative, the assistant coaches have fallen short of putting the team in position to win games, and the players aren't executing.
Put it all together and you've got a franchise in meltdown mode.
I've been on my best behavior for three weeks after being accused of trying to poison the team. Time to take the gloves off.
It's time to point out why this franchise is exactly where we started in 2007 when the Trifecta inherited a 1-15 team. The Kraken will be released this week so be on the lookout.
At 0-6 we are where we are, and that means in the "Suck for Luck" hunt.
I officially got on the train this Monday when talking to WQAM for my usual radio spots. You can find those interviews and my reasoning here.
Dave Hyde apparently got on the Suck for Luck train, writing this column, but he's trying to convince us it's a truck. Sorry Dave, but a truck can't carry the majority of the Dolphins fan base, which is presently in the Suck for Luck camp.
And the Sun-Sentinel, which is all about giving the people what they want, plans to do a weekly "Suck for Luck" tracker. Considering it has been one of the most popular things on our page for three days now there's clearly interest.
Here's what else you might find interesting on our site….
It appears even Dan Marino coming around on Suck For Luck?

Mike Berardino recaps Michael Lombardi's harsh criticism of Brandon Marshall to WQAM.

Capping Spring Trip, @PtonMensTennis Defeats UC Irvine 6-1
It's all Ivy from here on out for the Princeton men's tennis team, who won two out of three on their spring trip to California that closed with a 6-1 victory over UC Irvine Saturday afternoon in Coto de Caza, Calif.
"We're very pleased to end the road trip on a positive note with a solid win today," Princeton head coach Billy Pate said. "We started a bit slow in doubles but picked it up in singles. I'm very satisfied with where we are at this point heading into a new phase of our season with conference play. We'll give the guys a bit of rest and then get right back to work in preparation for Penn Saturday."
Matija Pecotic and Zack McCourt won in both doubles and singles as seven Tigers helped contribute to the team's six points. Princeton opened the trip with a 4-3 win over No. 45 Cal Poly and got a 13-spot bump in the rankings to No. 43. The Tigers then hung with No. 11 Pepperdine before losing 5-2.
Ivy play will hold similar rigors for the Tigers, who will host Penn at 2 p.m. next Saturday. Five of the eight Ivy teams, including Columbia, Cornell, Harvard, Princeton and Yale, are ranked between 23-51 on the latest ITA list, announced Mar. 19.

USES: Atorvastatin is used along with a proper diet to help lower "bad" cholesterol and fats (such as LDL, triglycerides) and raise "good" cholesterol (HDL) in the blood. It belongs to a group of drugs known as "statins." It works by reducing the amount of cholesterol made by the liver. Lowering "bad" cholesterol and triglycerides and raising "good" cholesterol decreases the risk of heart disease and helps prevent strokes and heart attacks.In addition to eating a proper diet (such as a low-cholesterol/low-fat diet), other lifestyle changes that may help this medication work better include exercising, losing weight if overweight, and stopping smoking. Consult your doctor for more details.

Didier Reynders deplores the regression of democracy in Ukraine, as identified by OSCE observers
Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Foreign Affairs Didier Reynders has taken note of the provisional report by the Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) on the parliamentary elections that took place in Ukraine on 28 October. Seven Belgian observers were dispatched by the FPS Foreign Affairs to monitor the progress of this election.
The report identifies a regression of the democratic process compared to the last election. With the exception of a small number of incidents, the voting proceeded calmly. But the observers emphasise that not all parties were on equal footing in terms of access to the media, resources and financing. Furthermore, processes that did not meet international standards led to opposition candidates being unable to participate in the elections: a state of affairs that High Representative Catherine Ashton also deplores.
Last September, Didier Reynders together with his colleagues from the Benelux and the Visegrád countries called upon the Ukrainian authorities to organise elections in conformance with OSCE standards. It is clear that this objective was not reached.
Didier Reynders is disturbed by the regression of the rule of law and of democracy in Ukraine. He reiterates that the signing of the Association Agreement between the EU and Ukraine cannot be envisaged until significant progress has been made in this field. On the eve of the Ukrainian presidency of the OSCE, the minister calls on the Ukrainian government to take the necessary measures to break this vicious circle, above all by applying the recommendations that are to appear in the final report of the observer mission.

TAB Meeting, August 3, 2007
The minutes of TAB meetings are provided for informational purposes only. Discussions and decisions described in the minutes should not be interpreted as official or definitive TAB or The Linux Foundation policy. While efforts are made to ensure their accuracy and completeness, we regret we cannot guarantee that they are. If you have corrections or additions, please contact tech-board at lists.linux-foundation.org
- OSAPA is looking for technical people (preferably with a patent
interest or background) to attend the OSAPA and tagging
workshop in Austin during the week of 17 September Amanda would
like to explain in more detail what they want (and possibly ask
for volunteers).
- LF Fellowship Tech Writer status. Hopefully we should have a
report from Rob, so we can review it any discuss progress.
- Portland Linux Conference - discussion lead by Greg
- NDA Programme. Probably just noting that Adaptec finally
coughed up the aic7xxx/aic79xx docs under this, so we can count
it as quite a success.
- PCI SIG membership status
- Any update on the USB sig? - Greg
- Any other business.
- James Bottomley
- Dan Kohn
- Arjan van de Ven
- Randy Dunlap
- Jim Zemlin
- Andy Updegrove
- Greg Kroah-Hartman
- Christoph Lameter
- Markus Rex
Andy described OSAPA initiative and OSDL's previous support for it.
OSAPA currently stalled, needs to get moving again. Meeting in May was
good step. Next meeting is "tagging" workshop and to get 4 patent
applications to get discussed. LF was asked to help find kernel
volunteers. Challenge is the translation between patent application and
kernel code, how is this handled? Goal is to create a database with
references. James and Christoph voiced their interest.
General unhappiness with performance of contractor. Current model not
working. Existing SOW (sent by Jim) not detailed enough to have good
handle. TAB will define objectives for next 3 months, biweekly status
calls will be set up and the "personality"-issue will be explained to
him. Review whether changes happened in September. James and Randy are
contact points on TAB.
Review of material Greg sent out. LF generally supportive, willing to
provide help with upfront money, provided the whole event is
revenue-neutral and the LF gets the money back. Constructive working
together between conference organizers and LF staff is required, or
support cannot be given.
Adaptec finally comes around. LF to follow up on mail from James on DVB
devices to help with vendor. This help works best if direct contact
person is provided to LF, otherwise chances of success much smaller and
more time consuming. LF to provide NDA program files on website. LF
asked to create link to device driver program from Greg.
3k membership by LF is ok. Dan to follow up with TAB.
Greg still in doubt on viability of membership
At kernel summit reelect members. James will drive this and also send
announcement to LKML.
Go ahead with the move of the TAB pages at OSDL to media-wiki.

Nathan Blaylock Fundriaser and Movie PremierTuesday, November 8th, 2011
Boondockers Films and KLIM Technical Riding Gear have teamed up to bring a unique fundraising event to Southeastern Idaho. With their Boondockers 8 Movie Premiere and Raffle Fundraiser benefitting Nathan Blaylock's young family the two companies, along with dozens of power sports industry brands, look to generate maximum funds for Holly Blaylock and her children.
Nate was in a tragic fatal auto accident in August and left Holly and their 4 kids behind. Just a month before the accident, Nate and Holly had welcomed their first daughter and fourth child into the world. This fundraiser event will not only bring one of the most anticipated snowmobiling movie premieres to Idaho Falls, but 100% of all proceeds will go directly to Holly Blaylock.
The Nathan Blaylock Fundraiser and Boondockers 8 Movie Premiere is set for November 11th, 2011 at the Paramount Theatre in Idaho Falls, Idaho. (more…)

Child Development - Community Policing
The Wilmington, Delaware CD-CP program was established November 1, 2005. It is a partnership between the City of Wilmington Police Department and the Delaware Division of Prevention and Behavioral Health Services (DPBHS). The Delaware Guidance Services for Children and Youth (DGS) is contracted by DPBHS to provide mental health treatment for identified children. The staff consists of master's level health professionals and case managers. There is a clinician available to the Wilmington Police Department 24 hours a day, year round. Clinicians work with both the children and the families to offer free, voluntary trauma assessment and short-term counseling services after a traumatic event.
CD-CP clinicians often work in collaboration with other services to provide access to social services and long-term counseling when it is needed.
What is CD-CP?
The goal of the Child Development - Community Policing Program (CD-CP) is to help heal the wounds that exposure to violence inflicts on children and families. The CD-CP program is a national model of a collaborative alliance between law enforcement, juvenile justice, domestic violence, medical and mental health professionals, child welfare, schools and other community agencies. The program provides a resource for first responders to violent or traumatic incidents to make immediate or follow up referrals to a trained trauma-focused clinician to begin the clinical healing process soon after the traumatic event has occurred. The CD-CP uses community-based counseling to help children and families cope, where life happens…in the home, in the community, in the school. Through education, coping skill building, collaboration, community connection and support, the CD-CP helps Wilmington's children and families move forward after violence or trauma occur.
For general information about the CD-CP program, please visit www.nccev.org

1104: Feathers
Title text: Click to see a video of a modern bird using stability flapping during predatory behavior. It all fits! Also, apparently Microraptor had *four* wings? The past keeps getting cooler! (And there's more of it every day!)
[edit] Explanation
Dinosaurs have been a fascinating topic in popular science and have captivated children's interest since the first fossils were discovered in modern times, around the 1700s; prior discoveries in China and elsewhere were thought to be the bones of dragons or other mythical creatures. The success of the Jurassic Park movies perpetuated an erroneous understanding of the physical characteristics of dinosaurs. Since the first movie of that series, scientific evidence has emerged suggesting that Dromaeosauridae, or "raptors", the main antagonists of that movie, looked quite different from their animatronic and CGI versions. In particular, they are now known to have been much smaller, and are believed to have had feathers and even wings, as evidenced by quill nobs observed on the arms of raptors.
Denver W. Fowler is among the scientists who support this hypothesis. (incidentally, a "Fowler" is a hunter of wildfowl/birds) The comic refers to a publication by him and his colleagues ("et al."), in the PLoS ONE, an online scientific journal ("PLoS" stands for "Public Library of Science").
Megan believes this new model of the appearance of raptors makes them much less cool, but the way in which the child reformulates the facts to make them seem like even more vicious predators re-ignites her interest and makes the new raptors seem like at least as good a candidate for a good action thriller movie like the original version, if not better. Thus the phrase "the past keeps getting cooler".
Clicking on the original cartoon links to a YouTube video of a bird of prey (in this case a Secretarybird) using its wings for stability while standing on top of a struggling prey, from which one can easily envision instead a raptor upon its prey—especially in case of some kind of "raptorphobia", as for Randall (see 87: Velociraptors and 135: Substitute). This video is now defunct, but you can still access it via the Wayback Machine. Microraptor was a small raptor with four wings, which lets you imagine even scarier scenes.
The same idea is later explored from a different perspective in 1527: Humans.
[edit] Transcript
- [Megan is walking up to a child who has a stack of books and is reading one of them on the floor.]
- Megan: What are you reading about?
- Child: Dinosaurs!
- Megan: Oh, yeah.
- Megan: They've gotten all weird since when I was a kid.
- Megan: They used to be awesome, but now they all have dorky feathers, right?
- Child: Yup!
- Child: This says they now think raptors used their wings for stability, flapping to stay on top of their prey while hanging on with their hooked claws and eating it alive.
- Footnote: *Fowler et. al., PLoS ONE 6(12), 2011
- [Megan stands staring at the child.]
- [Megan is now on the floor flipping through another book from the pile.]
[edit] Trivia
- In the comic it says "et. al." instead of the correct "et al.", this is a common mistake.

Okay, this is seriously messing with my world. T-Rex covered in downy goodness? I mean it explains a lot, like how they were able to survive in Northern Climes, but, I don't know...--grate314 (talk) 12:38, 5 September 2012 (UTC)

If anyone wanted to look at it, here's a link to the article mentioned
I think the linked article is the wrong one. First, it was published in 2009, not 2012. And second, it's talking about raptors (eagles), not (veloci)raptors (dinosaurs).
Oddly, it is talking about raptors (eagles) restraining prey, so maybe Randal made the mistake? No, the picture's caption clearly references another article. I'm having a hard time tracking it down. 220.127.116.11 21:01, 5 September 2012 (UTC)
"Correct" article is: http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0028964 - "Full" citation is: Citation: Fowler DW, Freedman EA, Scannella JB, Kambic RE (2011) The Predatory Ecology of Deinonychus and the Origin of Flapping in Birds. PLoS ONE 6(12): e28964. doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0028964 --B. P. (talk) 21:35, 5 September 2012 (UTC)
Jurassic Park was not incorrect in the size of the raptors; it was incorrect in the *name* of them! The so-called velociraptors in the movie were actually Deinonychus, which did grow to about that size and had the same shape and form as the smaller velociraptor. 188.8.131.52 (talk) (please sign your comments with ~~~~)
- There is no mention of velociraptors at this comic or explain. I have changed the category to dinosaurs. --Dgbrt (talk) 20:33, 28 April 2014 (UTC)
The video link seems to be DEAD. If anyone has the video or knows where it can be found, please... 22.214.171.124 (talk) (please sign your comments with ~~~~)

Photo courtesy of Sundance Film Festival
The 2013 Sundance Film Festival has come to a close, and we were there for a lot of great films . . . and some not so great films. We were also part of a round-table interview with John Cooper, festival director, who helped pick the films.
Cooper talked to us about the festival's role in Park City, Sundance London Film and Music Festival and the recent criticism of the festival by conservative group Sutherland Institute.
The festival is really branching out across the world with Sundance London. Has Sundance outgrown Park City?
"It's true that I don't get to look at Park City and go, 'How can we grow this?' like you might in New York or Toronto. So, we had to grow outside of Utah with Sundance Film Festival USA . . . Now, we have to think outside the borders as well."
In London, music is in the title of the festival. Any chance the festival in Utah will, at some point, incorporate enough music for a title change?
"No . . . We did it at The O2 in London—so, it has to be real music venues. There's a difference between making screening rooms out of ballrooms and tents and basketball courts and all that, but for musicians, it hast to be a real music venue or it's just such a workload to get that up and running."
How have the Salt Lake City screening benefitted the filmmakers?
"The audiences are smart. I meet them throughout the year, too. I think the audiences are warm up here on the mountain, but down there, I think filmmakers truly feel the warmth. Every question is coming from a layman, so it's not about budgets and how the movie is made—it's really about the idea behind the film . . . The filmmakers never want to drive down there, but once they do, they love it. They always come back glowing."
Out of this year's films, was there anything missing you would have liked to see?
"I'm still interested in those filmmakers who are really rebelling against all norms. The Next section, in particular, this year was amazing . . . Those filmmakers are fierce, and I think they are going to be what independent films are going to start to look like."
Note: This year's Next films included Blue Caprice, Computer Chess, Escape From Tomorrow, It Felt Like Love, I Used to Be Darker, Milkshake, Newlyweeds, Pit Stop, A Teacher and This is Martin Bonner.
You mention supporting rebel filmmakers, but at the recent opening press conference, you took a neutral side when the second amendment/gun argument came up. Why?
"I don't align politically, I align with the stories the filmmakers tell. I would rather talk about why we don't support the arts more in general. More art makes more tolerance, which makes for a better world. It's just kind of a simple trajectory in my mind . . . My politics are through what the filmmakers are doing. I don't program with a political eye."
What's your response to the Sutherland Institute saying state funds shouldn't support Sundance?
"We have our own relationship with the community as well. And the community here seems to be really thankful that we're here, and we get a lot of support from them. So, when they start saying that to me and when audiences say that to me, I'll listen."
Half of this year's competition films were by female directors. Are you pleased with that outcome?
"I'm pleased that it happened all naturally . . . You don't ever want to get into the thing where you do something one year and say what's going to happen the next year, but we'll program the festival out of what's best next year no matter what."

How would you rank Keira Knightley?
What other guys thought:
Watch the video
Why is Keira Knightley desirable?
It's kind of amazing that Keira Knightley is only 28, considering how she's been a reigning member of A-list Hollywood for so many years. The lovely actress took a bit of a break last year, but has a fully loaded 2014 with Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit, Can a Song Save Your Life? and The Imitation Game.

Diseases of the Eye That Cause...
Widespread Adoption of Biomarkers Has Been...
To Conduct Cellular Censuses Sequence Deeply...
Scientific Misconduct Is Jeopardizing the Quality...
Global Genomics Group (G3) and Illumina are teaming up to investigate novel biomarkers and biological pathways involved in the development and diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases. Per the agreement, Illumina will conduct whole-genome sequencing (WGS) in the GLOBAL (Genetic LOci and the Burden of Atherosclerotic Lesions) clinical study.
The GLOBAL study—which was described by G3 CEO and co-founder Szilard Voros, M.D., as the first of its kind—is an international, prospective, multicenter study recruiting up to 7,000 patients to characterize novel disease networks and biomarkers for coronary artery disease. The study is being funded by G3 and conducted together with a strategic partner, Health Diagnostic Laboratory. Eligible patients undergo coronary computed tomographic angiography, an advanced imaging technology for phenotyping that can allow the precise classification of disease in patients. This phenotyping is combined with a pan-omic analysis, and the data is then analyzed utilizing systems biology-based bioinformatics technology for identification of diagnostic biomarkers and potential therapeutic targets.
"The GLOBAL study will involve the collection of 22 trillion data points used to decode the complex biology underlying atherosclerotic disease," said Tonya Mallory, CEO, president, and co-founder of Health Diagnostic Laboratory, in a statement. "The study will represent validation of this technology and opens the door to similar analyses of other diseases, such as oncologic, neurodegenerative, and psychiatric, with the goal of identifying novel biomarkers and therapeutic targets for diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of these serious and debilitating diseases."
Matt Posard, svp and general manager of Illumina's Translational and Consumer Genomics business, added, "The GLOBAL study will be one of the largest patient studies involving genomic sequencing and will be the largest pan-omic WGS study Illumina has participated in to date. The sequencing data will be a critical component in deciphering the complexities of the development and diagnosis of atherosclerosis."
