The most common pump design available, centrifugal pump, uses centrifugal force to discharge fluid into a pipe. Coupled to the engine's crankshaft, a rotating disk with vanes slings liquid outward, producing a pressure change that causes liquid to flow through the pump. This mechanism, called an impeller, is housed within a volute. The volute collects and directs the flow of liquid from the impeller and increases the pressure of the high-velocity water flowing from the vanes of the impeller.
Engineers can and have tweaked this basic design several ways. But ultimately, how much and how fast a pump moves liquid — referred to as "head" (see glossary) — also depends on how well you understand a few basic scientific principles.
Atmospheric pressure is what enables a pump to lift water. Mother Nature plays an important role by exerting 14.7 psi on any body of water at sea level. This limits the suction head of any pump to 33.9 feet, but only if perfect vacuum occurs in the pump. Thus, suction head is limited to about 26 feet.
In addition, engine performance decreases by approximately 3.5% per 1,000 feet of elevation. The engine may be rejetted so that it can operate optimally at high altitudes. This process involves altering the air/fuel mixture and usually overcomes any altitude-related losses in discharge capacity or suction head.
A liquid moving through a discharge hose or pipe creates heat due to the friction of the two surfaces: water against the inner wall of the hose. As length increases and/or diameter decreases, the increase in friction slows the flow of liquid and decreases discharge capacity.
Minimize "friction loss" by using the largest and shortest hoses possible for your application. Steel pipe produces more friction than smooth PVC or vinyl, so if steel is better suited for the liquid you're pumping, you'll want large-diameter hoses that are shorter in length.
Friction losses are included in dynamic discharge head and dynamic suction (see the glossary). Combining the two determines a pump's total head.
DEAD-HEAD Stopping the flow out of the pump without shutting off the engine. Centrifugal pumps should be dead-headed for no more than about five minutes to increase the pump's maximum rated pressure. Dead-heading for an extended period of time will cause the water or liquid in the pump to eventually heat up and cause damage to the mechanical seal. Never dead-head a positive displacement pump.
DYNAMIC DISCHARGE HEAD The static discharge head (see static discharge head entry) plus the additional discharge head created by friction or resistance — usually referred to as losses — from the liquid flowing through the hoses, fittings, sprinklers, nozzle, etc.
DYNAMIC SUCTION HEAD The static suction head (see static suction head entry) plus the additional suction head created by friction from the liquid flowing through the hoses, fittings, etc.
HEAD Height of a column of water that can be supported by the pressure or vacuum exerted at the pump.
MECHANICAL SEAL A spring-loaded seal, consisting of several parts, that seals the rotating impeller in the pump case and prevents water from leaking into and damaging the engine. Mechanical seals are subject to wear when pumping water containing abrasives, and will quickly overheat if the pump is run without filling the pump chamber with water before starting the engine.
PRESSURE Force per unit area, usually listed in psi. Pressure often is included in pump performance curves. Pressure and head are directly related when referring to pump performance. The pressure exerted (in psi) at the base of a column of water is 0.433 x head (in feet). If you attach a pressure gauge at the base of a pipe measuring 100 feet tall filled with clear water, you would measure 43.3 psi. The maximum pressure (at zero discharge) of any pump can be determined by multiplying the maximum head by 0.433.
SELF-PRIMING Most centrifugal pumps require the pump casing to be filled with water before starting. Self-priming pumps can purge air from the case and create a partial vacuum, allowing water to begin flowing through the suction hose.
STATIC DISCHARGE HEAD The vertical distance between the pump's discharge port and the point of discharge, which is the liquid surface if the hose is submerged or pumping into the bottom of a tank.
STATIC SUCTION HEAD The vertical distance between the pump impeller and the surface of the liquid on the suction side of the pump.
WATER HAMMER Energy transmitted back to the pump due to the sudden stoppage of water flowing from the pump. More likely to occur when using a long discharge hose. If the water flow at the end of the discharge hose is shut off in less than the critical time, energy is transmitted back to the pump causing a large pressure spike in the pump housing. Often results in damage to the pump casing.
Mother Nature also plays a role in how high water can be pushed.
At approximately 8.3 ppg, water is heavy. It wants to flow back down to its original source. Pump pressure is thus greatest when the unit is operated close to the water's surface.
As liquid level falls, the pump has to shoot farther and pressure drops. To maintain the speed of the liquid flow, you'll be tempted to decrease suction head. Don't. Keep it to the smallest value possible to reduce the likelihood of damaging the pump via cavitation.
When the surface pressure on a liquid becomes low enough, the liquid will begin to boil (even at room temperature). With centrifugal pumps, this can occur when the suction vacuum becomes great enough to allow water vapor or bubbles to begin forming at the impeller. Cavitation is the sudden formation and collapse of low-pressure vapor bubbles across the vanes of the impeller.
When this water vapor travels through the rapid-pressure increase across the impeller, a large amount of energy is released that can cause impeller damage. Minimizing suction head and using the largest practical suction hose diameter reduces the likelihood of cavitation. Also, never use a suction hose with a diameter smaller than the pump's suction port.

A few pump selection tips
Determining what material will be pumped - i.e., chemicals, clean water, trash water, sewage - will lead you to the type of pump you need:
When specifying a pump, you'll need to evaluate your jobsite to determine:
Finally, operating and fuel costs
While initial cost is important when choosing between pumps, you should also consider operating costs. Selecting the most fuel-efficient and reliable pump for your application will reduce overall operating costs by keeping fuel costs low and keeping the tool dependable and in operation. Time is money, and machine downtime due to excessive repair equates directly to a loss in productivity.
Concerning fuel efficiency, be sure to compare running time and tank size among models. Buyers should look for a durable, quality pump that has an excellent track record for reliability. Also, selecting a pump that is backed by a good warranty and dealer network support is also vital for the user's long-term product satisfaction. PW
What total head means
Head pressure describes how powerful a pump is. Although many manufacturers provide a head-capacity performance curve for their pumps, it can be difficult to predict the exact point on the curve where the pump will perform. Typically, "total static head" is considered when selecting a pump. However, this method can be unreliable due to frictional losses. In many cases the pump performance will not meet expectations.
Static suction head is the vertical distance between the pump impeller to the surface of the liquid on the suction side of the pump. Static discharge head is the vertical distance between the pump's discharge port and the highest point of the discharge hose, which is the liquid surface if the hose is submerged or pumping into the bottom of a tank.
The selection process becomes even more complicated when a nozzle or sprinklers are used. To accurately predict the performance of a centrifugal pump in a specific application, the total dynamic head - the sum of the static suction head, static discharge head, and all additional losses in the system - must be calculated. These losses include, but are not limited to, friction losses due to pipe size, length, and material, and losses from sprinklers or a nozzle.
Simply put, the total dynamic head is the actual head on the pump during operation. Your dealer can help you calculate the total head you need. For instance, Honda Power Equipment provides customers with software that calculates the pump performance. To use this software, you'll need to provide the info you've gathered from your site evaluation. (See "A few pump selection tips") PW

They were the stark, elusive balloon that burst upon a deflated scene, injecting that scene with a radiance that connected poetry, the avant garde and rock and roll. They were a band of opposites, shooting freely from pole to pole without apology, with dissonant beauty, trampling the flowers of peace makers, training the black in a white world ... white in a black world ... they opened wounds worth opening with brutal innocence, without apology. Cutting across the grain ... gritty, urbanic and in their search for the kingdom, for laughter, for salvation, they explored the darkest areas of the ??? and they re-emerged and they delivered us. All of these things, all of these things can be deemed romantic, but one aspect can be truly romanticized ... their work ethic ... and the body they delivered up, which is being acknowledged this night. They are the Velvet Underground and their work is the clipper ship. They are the Velvet Underground and we salute them, and more than them, their captain, Sterling Morrison, who no doubt, in viewing these proceedings might have a bit of mythical contempt for us all. But would also feel a secret pride and may John Cale, Maureen Tucker, and Lou Reed share that pride, and may they be ... as the heroes of the song ...

Mental health disorders affect millions of US adults each year. Some disorders are mild, while others are more disabling and require intensive management and care.
The majority of people suffering from mental disorders can effectively return to normal, productive lives if they receive appropriate treatment - treatment which is readily available.
According to the National Institute of Mental Health Disorders (NIMH), mental health disorders account for four of the top 10 causes of disability in the US, and include: major depression (also called clinical depression), manic depression (also called bipolar disorder), schizophrenia, and obsessive-compulsive disorder.
An estimated 26 percent of persons ages 18 and older, about one in four (or over 57.7 million) US adults, suffer from a diagnosable mental disorder in a given year.
About 18.8 million US adults, or 9.5 percent, ages 18 and over, will suffer from a depressive illness (major depression, bipolar disorder, or dysthymia) each year. Many of them will be unnecessarily incapacitated for weeks or months because their illness is left untreated.

London office workers put in extra hours to impress the boss - have your say
07:00 16 April 2012
London workers are putting in longer hours at the office than they need to and growing more weary, just so they can impress their manager.
A poll has found 39 per cent of workers regularly stayed late or arrived early during the past year in a bid to seem more dedicated than colleagues.
More than a quarter (26 per cent) said they consistently worked longer days than they needed to in order to do their job more effectively, according to the research by officebroker.com.
Employees were most likely to put in longer hours at the office when a pay review was imminent, a new boss had been appointed or redundancies had been announced.
Staff working extended hours were found to be doing an extra hour or two hours a day, adding a minimum of half a day more to their working week.
However, the study also found the long hours were of little benefit to companies as they just made workers worn out.
A spokesman for officebroker.com, which helps small businesses, said: "The general consensus is that many workers across the country are putting in longer office hours than ever before.
"What our research has found, however, is that many are doing it in a bid to improve their office image and win favour, rather than because their workload demands it.
"People are sitting idle in their office in a bid to stand out from their colleagues and impress their bosses.
"This means a poorer work-life balance and ultimately no productivity gains for the firm, just increasingly tired workers, which benefits nobody."

St. Augustine said of Christmas, "God became man so that man might become God."
Christmas is about a wondrous exchange of natures: God shares our frail humanity, and we share His divinity.
The joy of Christmas is not just that a child is born, but that a whole new humanity is born. This new humanity is not disconnected from the old, but is radically renewed and redeemed. Just as in Adam, all die, so in Christ shall all be made alive.
Christmas, then, is about the destiny of the human person. Christ promises: "I will give the victor the right to sit with me on my throne".
Christmas goes far beyond the natural blessings of kindness, goodness, family, and giving. It is about sharing the Divine Nature, starting right now. "He who believes has eternal life."

Five-Time Ivy Champion Princeton Caps Season With Pair Of Top-30 Finishes
DAY ONE RECAP l DAY TWO RECAP l IVY LEAGUE CHAMPIONSHIP RECAP
In its final session of a fifth straight championship season, the Princeton men's swimming team saw five underclassmen earn Top-30 finishes during Day 3 of the 2013 NCAA Championships.
Freshman Byron Sanborn opened in the 200 breast, where he finished 27th in a time of 1:57.59. The Ivy League runner-up in the event, Sanborn was the top Ivy finisher and placed sixth among all freshmen nationally. Sanborn also competed in both the 200 IM and the 100 breast this weekend, which should provide invaluable experience for one of the key freshmen in the highly touted Class of 2016.
Two more of those freshmen, Teo D'Alessandro and Sandy Bole, teamed up with sophomores Harrison Wagner and Connor Maher to place 23rd in 2:55.83. Wagner, who competed in the 50 free during Thursday's session at NCAAs, had the fastest split overall in 42.96.
"This was a fantastic experience for these six guys," said assistant coach Mitch Dalton, who included Ivy League 100 back champion Michael Strand in the mix. "These guys are a huge part of our future, and they will be even stronger because of these last few days."

You can use Windows Media Player to stream media from a home computer that stores digital media files to another computer connected to the Internet so you can access your media anywhere. Internet access to home media, or remote media streaming, frees you from having to transport large media files on your laptop or digital media player if you want to play them on the go. Remote media streaming also allows you to use a laptop with limited storage capacity to access a potentially large media collection on a desktop computer or home server.
To do this, you need:
At least two computers that have remote streaming enabled. (One has a media library connected to a home network and streams the media, and the other one receives the stream.)
A supported online ID linked to your Windows user account on at least two computers.
An Internet connection.
The procedures below explain how to set up and use remote media streaming if you don't already have a linked online ID or if you have an existing linked ID. During setup, your home network router will usually configure itself automatically for remote streaming, but you might need to manually configure your router by using port forwarding.
To send and receive your home media streams over the Internet, the current version of Windows Media Player must be installed on the computers you plan to use.
The home computer used to stream media can't be on a public network or joined to a domain.
A linked online ID can be associated with 10 Windows user accounts.
Internet access to home media isn't available on Windows 7 Starter or Windows 7 Home Basic.
To securely stream media over the Internet or receive streams remotely, you need to create a supported online ID and link it to your Windows user account. Before you begin the process of linking an online ID, you should create an online ID with a password.
Here's how to link an online ID and allow streaming on a computer:
Click Stream, and then select Allow Internet access to home media.
In the Internet Home Media Access dialog box, click Link an online ID.
If you haven't added an online ID provider yet, click Add an online ID provider, select an online ID provider from the list, and then follow the instructions.
Next to the online ID provider that you want to link your user account to, click Link online ID.
Type your user name and password for the online ID to sign in, and then click OK.
In the Internet Home Media Access dialog box, click Allow Internet access to home media.
If you're prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
Click OK.
You must allow Internet access to home media for the computer you use to stream media over the Internet, and for any computer that receives streams remotely.
If you have a security program (such as an antivirus program) installed on your computer, you might need to change the program's settings to allow remote media streaming.
If you've already linked an online ID to a Windows user account on your computer, you can click a link in Windows Media Player to allow Internet access to home media. Here's how:
If you've allowed Internet access to home media on two computers, you're ready to access your home media remotely. The computer streaming the media must be connected to your home network and the computer receiving the stream must be connected to the Internet.
On the computer receiving the media stream, follow these steps:
Find the Player Library for your home computer under Other Libraries in the navigation pane, and then click it.
If you can't find Other Libraries in the navigation pane, do the following:
Click Organize, and then click Customize navigation pane.
At the top of the Customize Navigation Pane dialog box, click the name of the Library in the drop-down list, and then click Other Libraries.
Select the Show Other Libraries check box, and then click OK.
Search for a file you want to play in the Player Library, and then double-click it.
Corporate networks often block remote media streaming.
If you have a router that doesn't allow you to automatically set up Internet home media streaming, you might need to manually open ports in the router's firewall to give remote computers access to your home computer. This process is called port forwarding or port mapping.
You must first allow Internet home media streaming on your home computer before you can manually configure your router.
Here's how to configure your home router using port forwarding:
Click Diagnose connections, and then click Port forwarding information.
The Port Forwarding Information dialog box provides the following information:
Protocol. This is the Internet protocol that will be used to stream media. The Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) is usually used for media streaming.
External port number. This is the port number remote computers will use to access media on your home computer. The number is specific to your computer, and you will need it to configure your router. The Port Forwarding Information dialog box is the only place the external port number appears.
Internal port number. This is the port number for media streaming access to your home computer inside your home network. It's always the same number: 10245.
Using a computer on your home network, open a web browser and enter the address of your router's setup webpage. Check the router's documentation for instructions on how to reach the setup webpage.
For example, you can often reach your router's setup webpage by typing "http//:" plus your router's default IP address in your web browser's address bar.
In the appropriate area of the setup webpage for your router, configure your router's ports in the following way:
Your home computer's name or IP address
Varies (see Port Forwarding Information dialog box)
You can use external port 443 or the external port number specific to your computer for home media streaming, but it's recommended that you use both for better performance.
Setup webpages for routers vary by manufacturer and model. For example, some setup webpages identify a computer by its name and some use an IP address. Check your router's documentation for more information about configuring ports.

TEMPE, Ariz. -- Statistics for the Graduation Success Rate (GSR) released Thursday by the NCAA indicated an 82-percent graduation success rate, surpassing the previous all-time high for Arizona State University by two percent. The GSR is based on student-athletes who entered college as freshmen in 2003-2006 and ultimately entered ASU on athletic aid as freshmen or transfers. The GSR allows for the removal of those individuals from the cohort who left ASU in good academic standing prior to completing their eligibility.
ASU's stated goal when the APR was introduced nine years ago was an 80-percent GSR, which was reached in 2012. At the time, ASU's GSR was at 69 percent and has seen a 13-percent increase since that point.
"Results measured by both graduation and competitive successes are keystones to defining the Sun Devil way," said Steve Patterson, Vice President of University of Athletics. "We are proud of the continued and record-setting improvement in our graduation rate. The student-athlete is the centerpiece of our department's efforts. Jean Boyd, his staff, and the coaches not only teach leadership, risk-taking, and teamwork, but also complement the invaluable academic growth gained from the classroom."
In meeting that goal, ASU ranks fourth in the Pac-12 Conference (out of 12 institutions), just one percentage point behind Utah's 83-percent. This marks the sixth-consecutive year that ASU's GSR has increased.
ASU's women's GSR rate is 93-percent, second only to Pac-12 Conference leader Stanford (98 percent), while the men's teams are over 70-percent (71 percent) for the first time since the reporting began nine years ago. The men's GSR has improved from 56-percent in 2005.
Five ASU teams lead the Pac-12 Conference with a four-year GSR of 100-percent: men's and women's golf, women's swimming and diving, women's tennis and women's volleyball.
Over the past five years, the baseball program has elevated its GSR from 30-percent to 76-percent, while the men's basketball GSR has improved from 31-percent to 75-percent over the last six years.
ASU also ranked third in the conference for graduation rates of African American student-athletes, African American male student-athletes, and African American football student-athletes.
"Sun Devil Athletics is dedicated to developing student-athletes who graduate and go on to live championship lives," said Jean Boyd, Senior Associate Athletic Director of Student-Athlete Development. "Elevating our graduation rate for the sixth consecutive year and hitting the 82-percent mark speaks to this commitment. We are especially proud of our work with our female student-athletes and African American student-athletes. We also highlight the improvements made in men's basketball and baseball. We will remain relentless in these efforts and look forward to reaching a short term goal of 85-percent and ultimately have targeted 90-percent."
The GSR is the NCAA's more comprehensive calculation of student-athlete academic success. The NCAA rate is more accurate than the federally mandated methodology because it includes incoming transfers and students enrolling in the spring semester who receive athletic aid and graduate and deletes from the calculation student-athletes who leave an institution and were academically eligible to compete. The federal rate does neither.
Conversely, the APR, or Academic Progress Rate, is a year-by-year gauge of eligibility and retention for Division I scholarship student-athletes that was established in 2004. It is a composite team measurement based upon how individual team members do academically, and the NCAA APR threshold is 925, which is the equivalent of a 50-percent graduation rate.
This is the 23rd release of institutional graduation rates since national "right-to-know" legislation was passed in 1990. In 2005, the NCAA Division I Committee on Academic Performance implemented the initial release of the team GSR data.

Elephant Room
By Steve Cuiffo, Trey Lyford and Geoff Sobelle
Illustration by Lou Beach
Directed by Paul Lazar
a co-premiere between the
Philadelphia Live Arts Festival, Philadelphia, PA and Arena Stage, Washington, DC
The Cradle Season is sponsored by Arlene and Robert Kogod.
Imaginative Theatricality
Combine the glory of a Styx reunion tour, with the transcendental power of a 200-year-old Zuni shaman and add a dash of trailer park ennui and you come close to describing the mystical pull of a trip to the Elephant Room. From the uninhibited, "engaging" (Washington Post) absurdist performance duo Rainpan 43 and actor-magician Steve Cuiffo comes a new theatrical event. Filled with off-the-wall magic and sublime comedy, Elephant Room examines the childlike wonder of three deluded illusionists who choose to live their off-center lives by sleight of hand.
Elephant Room runs approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes with no intermission.
"Brilliant and ridiculously funny …
a magical psychedelic journey."
"Utterly incredible … keeps the magic coming fast and furiously."
"Really fun … a 75-minute act of misdirection."
"… one funny production
that you don't want to miss!"
American Voices
Louie Magic
I'm very excited to be working at Arena Stage this season. It has always been my dream to perform in arenas ever since I saw my first Warrant show at the Meadowlands in 1987. And now, my dream is coming true. And that's what magic is! Making all of your dreams come true. Within Elephant Room, you are invited into a world of mystery where the curtain is pulled back and the secrets are revealed. Or, are they? That's the mysterious thing about the Elephant Room. ...Things are not as they seem. And that's the kind of world we all ought to live in.

Astronaut Scorch Supernova is a national hero to the blue alien population. A master of daring rescues, Scorch pulls off astonishing feats with the quiet aid of his nerdy, by-the-rules brother, Gary, head of mission control at BASA. When BASA's no-nonsense chief Lena informs the brothers of an SOS from a notoriously dangerous planet, Scorch rejects Gary's warnings and bounds off for yet another exciting mission. But when Scorch finds himself caught in a fiendish trap set by the evil Shanker it's up to scrawny, risk-adverse Gary to do the real rescuing. As the interplanetary stakes rise to new heights, Gary is left to save his brother, his planet, his beloved wife Kira and their adventure hungry son Kip. In 3D at select locations.

A small-scale country on the surface, Panama is a Central American giant and gem just awakening to its vast potential. Among its allures are sweeping rain forests teeming with exotic animals and birds; cloud forests cloaking the summits of rugged mountains; vibrant indigenous cultures that predate the conquistadores; and a cornucopia of wildlife wonders that is also brimful of castles and sleepy colonial villages where life revolves on a yesteryear hub.
Esteemed travel writer Christopher Baker takes the reader on a journey of this fascinating place in seven fact-filled chapters in this fully updated edition of this comprehensive guide. Beginning in the cosmopolitan, steamy capital of Panama City, the most cosmopolitan metropolis between Miami, Florida and Maracaibo, Venezuela, you move on to the Canal Zone and the central Caribbean, effusely forested and offering world-class birding, hiking, and white-water rafting; Kuna Yala, an island chain and narrow mainland strip administrated anonomously by indigenous Kuna people; the Darien, a biological Eden protecting the largest pristine wilderness habitat in Central America; and Central Panama, a region blessed with tourist attractions of every sort, from fine beaches and magnificent mountain scenery to pre-Columbia sites and important colonial architecture. The Azuero Peninsula evokes a different feel, home to cowboy towns simmering with sentimental allure, the heartland of folkloric tradition beckoning visitors to its festivals and pockets of colonial charm; while Khiriqui spans remote, surf-washed beaches and mist-shrouded volcanic heights; and Bocas del Toro remains the most popular tourist destination beyond Panama City, synonymous with a funky, laid-back lifestyle.
As in all the National Geographic Traveler guides, the National Geographic Traveler: Panama, 2nd ed. includes many detailed close-ups, attractive new features, such as Insider Tips from National Geographic and local experts on favorite or little known sites and events. Sidebars highlighting experiences that allow the visitor to truly get inside the local culturesuch as sampling fresh-grown coffee in Boquete; getting a jagua juice tattoo in Darién; celebrating the Festival de la Pollera in Las Tablas, where women adorn their big, colorful Spanish skirts (polleras) for a week filled with parades, music, competitions, and more will be added to the multitude of existing entries.
Christopher P. Baker has established a career as a travel writer, photographer, and lecturer. He has written several guidebooks about Cuba and Havana, as well as ones on Jamaica, The Bahamas, Turks & Caicos, and California. He is author of the National Geographic Traveler: Costa Rica (2000), the National Geographic Traveler: Cuba (2007), National Geographic Traveler: Dominican Republic (2008), and National Geographic Adventure Press's Mi Moto Fidel: Motorcycling through Castro's Cuba (2000).
The award-winning National Geographic Traveler has been enhanced with engaging new features and a contemporary redesign. Each guide begins with an introduction that enables you to sample a bit of the culture, history, and attractions before you go and plan the trip based on your own interests and length of stay.
Immerse yourself in active, in-country "Experiences" and "Off-the-Beaten-Path Excursions" you won't find anywhere else.
Other new features, such as "Insider Tips" from National Geographic photographers, writers, and experts, and "Not-To-Be-Missed" lists ensure that each visit will be memorable.
The guides' design has been simplified, opened up, and enhanced with easy-to-read tinted sections. Gorgeous color photographs, high-quality maps, and the popular walking and driving tours are still highlights of our crisp, new look.

Well written, type too small
By Mark
from Cerro Azul, Panama
About Me Everyday Reader
Best Uses
Comments about Panama, 2nd edition:
This is an exceptionally well written and informative book. I was gravely disappointed, however, by the very small type print. Even with my bi-focals, I had difficulty reading the tiny print of the book. I continue to read in small increments, however, attemptig to read when I can barely make out the print is very frustrating.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

It's time for our dogs to get fashionable. WoofWare products are not only good looking, but they are also safe for our dogs' necks. The best news: They're machine washable, which makes our work much easier. The collars and matching leashes are made from the highest-quality heavy weight nylon webbing, and they come in four adjustable sizes.
Back in 2007, Dawn Sontag decided she wanted to create her own company. A healthy fast food restaurant? No, she didn't know how to cook. She started listing her passions, and finally landed on her golden lab, Sunny, who was the inspiration she needed to start making safe, beautiful and great quality dog collars.
Sontag bought an industrial sewing machine, set up a sewing "factory" right in the middle of her living room, and spent the next two years working hard to make perfect dog collars.
Come to Downtown Farmers Market on Saturday mornings throughout the summer at Pioneer Park to check these dog collars, along with plenty of other vendors. Made by someone who truly loves dogs, WoofWare will sure make your dog more fashionable.

Swimming And Diving Positioned Well After Day One Of the Horizon League Championships
Feb. 28, 2003
Chicago, Ill. - The UIC men's and women's swimming and diving teams competed well in day one of the Horizon League Championships, as Enric Claret and the men's 400-yard medley relay team set school records to highlight the day for the Flames at Cleveland State.
In diving action, senior Michael Magee was excellent, taking second on the one-meter board with a score of 254.80.
For the women on the boards, sophomore Caitlin Carey took third-place with a score of 399.85. Newcomer Tara Goodwin added an eighth-place finish (360.95) for the Flames.
Claret, a gritty warrior, had an outstanding swim in the 200-yard IM. Still recovering from off-season shoulder surgery, Claret was able to grab the runner-up spot in that event with a school-record time of 1:51.39.
The youthful men's 400-yard medley relay team of freshmen Ari Bernstein, Adan Jimenez, LeRoy Stevens and the veteran Claret finished in fifth, but finished with a school-record time of 3:24.99.
For the women, freshman Laura Martensen swiped a fifth-place finish for UIC in the 500-yard free in 5:08.51.
Both squads are back at it on Friday at Cleveland State. For complete results visit: http://csuvikings.ocsn.com/sports/w-swim/stats/022503aaa.html.

As far as I am concerned, given m >= n, the result of QR(A_m,n) would be V_m,n T_n,n and R_m,n.
In LAPACK Working Note # 191, the DTSQRT is described below:
( Rkk) (Rkk)
( ) -----> (Vik, Tik, Rkk) = QR( )
( Aik ) (Aik )
Since the coupling of Rkk and Aik is a (2b)X(b) block, I think m = 2b and n = b here. Therefore I think Vik and Rkk are no longer bXb blocks but (2b)X(b). How can these blocks fit into original matrix? For Rkk, maybe we can just ignore the lower bXb zero block. But I don't think we can do the same thing for Vik.
Thank you!

Post subject: Lengthy Excerpt from Crimson Rose...
Although the novel won't be released for a few months, I wanted to post another excerpt from
Crimson Rose
; this time, it's a lengthy one. Hopefully you readers will find it intriguing... This is essentially a rough draft, not quite polished yet, but I still believe that it's good. It has not been touched by an editor. Thanks for reading. -R. Malone
She had asked him why he was in the town square in the dead of night; he asked her the very same. She noticed his attractive German accent as he spoke, along with the beguiling blonde of his hair and the unusual paleness of his eyes. It was love at first sight, at least for her. He told her he was a vampire, and she laughed it off. Then she demanded that he prove it. Stefan flashed her his elongated canines, as though showing them off out of a sense of pride. She subsequently pleaded for him to turn her into a creature of the night. She had not realized the disastrous ramifications of what she was asking. Aside from her curiosity to see what would befall her if he bit her, Gabriella merely wished for the feel of his full lips against her neck, and the heated arousal she knew she'd feel once he penetrated her skin with his fangs...
After a lengthy bout of pleading, he finally obliged with her wishes. Odd, but pleasant tingling sensations invaded her lower abdomen as he held her tightly in his arms, then smoothed the strands of blonde away from her neck. She arched her neck to the side and allowed him to cradle her head in his hand. Then he roughly pierced the skin of her neck with his teeth, and it was quite painful. She had bit down on her crimson lip and stifled a scream of pain. She had not expected the pain to be so excruciating. After piercing her neck, however, he was not finished. He greedily began to draw the blood into his mouth and throat, although he had already recently fed. Gabriella moaned in protest, and began to shove him away from her.
"Stop it," she had demanded, and he finally tore his lips away from her neck. "Now you have to turn me into one." Stefan briefly eyed her, then he spoke.
"Bite me," he muttered. She stared at him incredulously.
"Bite you?" she echoed in perplexity.
"Yes; bite me," he demanded more sternly. She scoffed, but then had a change of heart. She lunged toward him with her lips widely parted. Before sinking her teeth into his chilled flesh, however, she took advantage of the moment and sucked on his neck between frenzied kisses. He nudged her away.
"What are you doing?" he curtly asked, as she stood before him with embarrassment etched upon her face.
"I'm--I'm--nothing. I wasn't doing anything," she muttered in humiliation, then averted her gaze toward the ground. Shortly thereafter, her humiliation was replaced by something vastly different. The taste of blood was embellished upon her lips, after she had so harshly sucked on his neck and brought the blood near his skin. She licked her lips, and the taste was sweet... She wanted more.
She leaned toward him, and invaded the skin of his neck with her teeth. As she bit into him, he emitted soft groans of pain and winced. She eagerly drew his blood beyond her scarlet lips and into the further recesses of her throat. From that moment on, Gabriella Nelson no longer existed, she was replaced by something else; something with senses as sharp as an animal's, and a distinct hunger that could rarely be sated. She would be his companion for eternity, or so she had thought... For once Stefan's pallid eyes beheld the image of Rose Litchford, he had figuratively tossed Gabriella to the side, but only after he used her to cure his loneliness due to the vampirism.
As she presently strolled through the corridor toward the atrium, Gabriella's disturbing memories began to dissipate from her mind. She focused on the imminent discussion she was going to have with Stefan. After exiting the corridor that led to the maid's quarters, Gabriella proceeded through the massive atrium toward the next corridor. Although each hallway and room was enveloped in darkness, her softly glowing eyes could easily navigate her toward Stefan's bedroom.

Cj0011c, a periplasmic single- and double-stranded DNA-binding protein, contributes to natural transformation in Campylobacter jejuni
Campylobacter jejuni is an important bacterial pathogen causing gastroenteritis in humans. C. jejuni is capable of natural transformation, which is considered a major mechanism mediating horizontal gene transfer and generating genetic diversity. Despite recent efforts to elucidate the transformation...
Some bacteria can communicate with other species of bacteria by means of autoinducer-2 (AI-2)-mediated quorum sensing. In this study, we demonstrated that AI-2-mediated quorum sensing influences the transcription of flaA, the major flagellin gene in Campylobacter jejuni. A null mutation of luxS in C...

Rated 5 out of 5 by Jolisyeuxbleu Beautiful table I've been in the process of overhauling my home office for a while now and have been in search of the perfect table/desk. I had hoped to find a used one but to no avail. I saw this on clearance here and knew I had to buy it. Wasn't sure about the color but figured I could paint over it. It arrived much quicker than anticipated and assembly was a breeze, I did it all myself in fact. Turns out, I love the color and it inspired a different color scheme in the office. I am going to paint the room instead to work around this lovely table. Love the farmhouse-esque style legs and the draw sold me. It's the perfect size for a tray filled with pens, pencils, ect. Love the size for a desk, its much deeper than you would normally get which is what I was going for since I work at home and have both my laptop and my personal computer on the desk at the same time. Buy it, you wont regret it! Oh, one last thing. I didn't realize the finish on the legs was a bit distressed when I purchased it, perhaps I simply didn't read the description well enough so just beware. Personally, I love the look. January 25, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Grace Awesome table, great value! We just received and assembled this table today. It couldn't be more perfect as a breakfast table. I love everything about it. Great style, superb quality, and oh so sturdy. The height is a little taller (though not pub height), making it seem more substantial while still fitting in a small space. I am so excited about this table, and am eager for the chairs to come in to complete our set! December 12, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Amber Great Sturdy Table I bought this table today and couldn't be happier. I looked around for about a month for a sturdy crafts table and couldn't find anything. Then I came upon this table..... and for the price, this table is a steal!!! It is sturdy, has a great look to it and fits in my very small kitchen area. It doubles as a pull out dining table for 4 guests. I bought it because it is sturdy. Does not shake or move when working on it. And of course, the price is exceptional! April 14, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by KelliAnn Great table! This is a great table for the price. I bought it for a craft table/desk for myself but it would be a lovely informal dining or breakfast table.I am impressed with how solid and sturdy it is. March 18, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by MegP Gorgeous table It's a much prettier blue than it looks in the picture. I absolutely love this table. We have a smaller kitchen, and it fits perfectly. It has a nice farm table look to it. Great value for a gorgeous table. December 23, 2011

I'm sitting at the crossroads and would like some info. Probably our Bros across the pond know the answer in their sleep, but here goes.
I'm seriously thinking of updating the front brake on Frankie. the current 190mm BSA just isn't cutting it. Looks grand, but that's it. It's a poser. From all I've heard and know first hand, the TLS brake from 67-69 on BSA's and Triumphs is a good working unit. Likewise all I've heard about the later conical in stock condition is that it's bad. I've also heard the Conical can be fixed,the usual "fix" quoted is altering the actuating arms.
Here's my situation. I can fit the conical right to the current front end on Frankie. Made to go there, a bolt on. But, I don't have one. I have a damaged but reclaimable earlier TLS front hub. Using it would, of course, require money and adaptation to work. (drum has broken spoke mounting flange and would need to be replaced).
Any opinions on what's the best option? Of course, if anyone wants to donate an Eddy Dow TLS adaption to my 190mm drum and save me loads of trouble, by all means send it off
I don't want to go disk. It defeats the purpose of building a sixties cafe bike. And, my memory of the 67 TLS on a Daytona was it was a very impressive brake, so I kinda lean that way. But it'll probably take more work than the Conical, and we all feel the same way about work.
All opinions welcome. Doesn't mean I'll listen, but hey, there's a lot of that around here, right? We're used to it

Andrew Bynum's apology for his cheap shot at Dallas Mavericks guard J.J. Barea has been challenged on its sincerity, particularly by Los Angeles Times columnist T.J. Simers.
But J.J. Barea told ESPN First Take host Jay Crawford Wednesday morning that he believes Andrew Bynum's apology was indeed genuine.
"Yeah, I believe him," J.J. Barea said. "I talked to him before games or something like that and I think he's a really good guy. His apology, he means well, so I got no problems with it."
He said earlier, " It's good that he apologized. I think he's a great guy. I think, he's a pro, he doesn't want to hurt me. I think he just got frustrated in the moment. I think that was just a bad moment in his life where he just wasn't thinking and he took it out on me. Like he said, I'm glad I'm OK and nothing happened."
If you missed Andrew Bynum's apology, this is what he said.
"I want to apologize for my actions at the start of the fourth quarter. They don't represent me, my upbringing, this franchise or any of the Laker fans out there that want to watch us and want us to succeed. Furthermore, and more importantly, I want to actually apologize to J.J. Barea for doing that. I'm just glad that he wasn't seriously injured in the event. And all I can say is, I've looked at (the replay), it's terrible and it definitely won't be happening again."
Sensing the Los Angeles Lakers on the verge of becoming the first victims of a NBA playoffs sweep under Phil Jackson's regime, Andrew Bynum took a cheap elbow shot at Dallas Mavericks guard J.J. Barea sending him in a fetal position on the court.
Andrew Bynum was ejected from the game and took off his Lakers jersey as he walked off the court. The NBA fined Andrew Bynum $25,000 and suspended him for five games at the start of next season resulting in $677,272 of his salary, according to the Los Angeles Times.

ANAHEIM – Downtown Disney visitors – for the first time – can ice skate in the shadow of the Disneyland Hotel.
Today is the grand opening for a temporary ice rink plopped just south of the ESPN Zone, although on Thursday Disney quietly began allowing skaters onto the ice.
The rink has a Tinker Bell theme to promote the latest straight-to-DVD movie in the Fairies series, "Secret of the Wings." By Nov. 12, Disney will add a holiday village around the rink with pretend chalets where visitors can buy seasonal food and products.
Monday afternoon, some passersby stopped to take spins around the rink, which is 77 by 43 feet and under a tent. Disney offered some free passes because photographers were filming a video.
Jenny Suburu of Bakersfield watched her two children – Wyatt, 13, and Jori, 10 – glide around. She said it was refreshing to find the rink in a normally warm climate.
"You always think of it in cold places," Suburu said. "It's kind of fun for us."
Josh Loeza of Mission Viejo made a stop at the rink for his 24th birthday, which he celebrated with his girlfriend, Ashley Wagner, 22. The couple planned on visiting Disney's theme parks and seeing "Frankenweenie" at the Downtown Disney movie theater, but they took a detour when they got the free skate passes.
"I think it's awesome," said Wagner of Anaheim. "It's something to do in Downtown Disney."
Guests go onto the ice for one-hour sessions. Disney requires skaters to wear helmets.
The rink is open daily through the first week of January.
