SERIES RECORD AT SPORTS ARENA: UCLA leads 43-20
This is the 235th meeting between UCLA and the USC Trojans with the Bruins leading the series 130-104. The Bruins won this year's earlier meeting 66-47 in the Galen Center on Jan. 15. Travis Wear had 19 points and eight rebounds and Lazeric Jones added 15 points for the Bruins. Maurice Jones was the only player in double figures with 13 points for the Trojans. The Bruins' 19-point win marked the program's largest margin of victory at USC's home arena since an 82-52 win in 1974. UCLA had defeated USC by 18 points in a Pac-10 road game on Jan. 20, 1999. UCLA won the rebounding battle by a 44-19 tally. The 25-rebound margin was the largest of the Howland era at UCLA and the largest since the Bruins grabbed 30 more rebounds than Northern Arizona in 2002. The Bruins beat the Trojans 64-50 in Pauley Pavilion last year (Feb. 2, 2011). Joshua Smith led UCLA with 15 points while Nikola Vucevic led USC with 18 points. Head Coach Ben Howland is 11-8 all-time against USC.
Ben Howland earned his 300th victory of his career with the 72-54 win over DePaul in the 15th Annual John R. Wooden Classic (Dec. 13, 2008). He is currently 371-192 (.659), which ranks 35th on the winningest active coaches list by percentage and 50th on the active list by victories. Howland's first career victory was his first game at Northern Arizona in 1994, a 71-69 victory over New Mexico Highlands. His 100th career victory came in his second season at Pittsburgh in the 77-65 win at home over Seton Hall (Jan. 13, 2001). His 200th win came in his third season at UCLA with the 56-37 home win over Delaware State (Nov. 19, 2005). Howland is 19-9 (.679) in the NCAA Tournament (15-6 (.714) at UCLA).
Head Coach Ben Howland attained his 200th career victory at UCLA with the win over Utah (Jan. 26, 2012) and currently sits at 203-94 (.684) in his ninth season at the helm of the Bruins. With the win over Eastern Washington (Dec. 14), Howland passed Jim Harrick for second place on the all-time UCLA career victories list. Harrick posted a 192-62 record in his eight seasons (1988-89 to 1995-96) as the Bruins' mentor. Coach John R. Wooden is the all-time leader at 620-147 (.808) in his 27 seasons (1948-49 to 1974-75).
Sophomore center Anthony Stover missed practice on Feb. 10 and the California game (Feb. 11) with tendonitis in his left foot. He was able to practice for an hour on Monday (Feb. 13) and complete a full practice on Tuesday. He is listed as probable for the Bruins' game on Feb. 15 when they host USC in the Los Angeles Sports Arena.
Senior point guard Lazeric Jones had his career-best eight straight games in double figures snapped in the loss at Cal (Dec. 31). He has scored in double figures in 15 of the last 18 games. The Bruins are 12-6 in the last 18 contests after starting the season 2-5. In the last 18 games, Jones has averaged 14.7 points, 4.8 assists, 3.6 rebounds and 1.7 steals while shooting 47.5 percent (96-for-202) from the field and 41.2 percent (28-for-68) from three-point range.
The Wear twins (David and Travis) have scored in double figures in the same game eight times this season and they have done so in six of the last 14 contests. Additionally, they posted career-highs in scoring in back-to-back outings as David scored a career-best 17 points in the loss at California (Dec. 31) while Travis had a career-high 20 points in the win over Arizona (Jan. 5). In the last 12 games, Travis has averaged 13.0 points while David is averaging 12.1 points per game. David has shot 56.6 percent from the floor (56-for-99) while making 72.7 percent (8-for-11) of his three-point shots and draining 25-for-32 (.781) from the free-throw line. Travis has shot 56.4 percent (57-for-101) from the field while sinking 29-for-35 (.829) of his free throw attemtps. Combined, they are 113-for-200 (.565) from the field and 54-for-67 (.806) from the charity stripe.

V Series Systems Engines
V-Series Brings the Brains and the Brawn
The rack-mount, 2U-sized V4 and V6 Systems Engines provide as many as six dedicated high-efficiency class D amplifier channels (four in the V4) with more than enough "oomph" to tri-amp up to four al-8 elements (V6), or bi-amp up to eight al-4 elements (V4). The V4 and V6 also incorporate a highly-sophisticated DSP architecture that acts as the "nerve center" for the al-Class line arrays along with full network control and monitoring via SystemVUE network and software.
Fully optimized for every individual component within the al-CLass systems, VUE's next-generation DSP technology combined with Michael Adams' real-world perspective, enable VUE line arrays arrive from the factory fully ready to rock, with minimal tweaking.
The V Series line consists of to models, including the 2-in/4-out V4 for use with the al-4 and the 2-in/6-out V6 for use with the al-8. Both the V4 and V6 are available in either touring configuration (with front panel LCD interface) or installation configuration (without front panel LCD interface).
Learn more about the V Series System Engines
VUEPoint Beam Forming Technology
For even greater coverage control, al-Class line array systems are fully compatible with the VUEPoint beam forming technology. Developed in partnership with Berlin based AFMG Technologies, GmbH, VUEPoint is a process that combines VUE's sophisticated DSP Systems Engine and SystemVUE software with AFMG's revolutionary FIRmaker technology to enable beam forming (steering) of complex curved arrays of al-Class acoustic elements.
Best of all, VUEPoint can be applied to any VUE Audiotechnik line array system without the need for special upgrades. The complex FIR filter capabilities required for VUEPoint are already integrated into the V4 and V6 System Engines and accessed and configured via SystemVUE in conduction with EASE Focus2 software.
Learn more about the VUEPoint Beam Forming Technology
Symmetrical Transducer Configuration
The al-Class line array elements benefit from a perfectly symmetrical transducer configuration that provides exceptional pattern control, while also making it easy to scale up and down, or mix different al-Class models together.
Symmetrical System = Consistant Horizontal Performance
The subcompact two-way al-4 element features dual 4-inch Kevlar/ Neodymium mid-range drivers flanking a 1-inch exit neodymium compression driver with Truextent beryllium diaphragm. The al-4's mid-range units are outfitted with VUE's unique lateral acoustic shade modules that acoustically "move" the drivers closer together in order to optimize directivity of the woofers at their upper operating range for a smooth transition over the entire coverage area.
The three-way al-8 element doubles the al-4's MF/HF section for a total of four mid-range units and two beryllium compression drivers. The al-8 then adds dual 8-inch woofers for greater LF frequency extension and output.
The transducers are arranged for perfect symmetry from L to R. This makes scaling up or down as simple as adding or removing elements. What's more, because the al-4 and al-8 elements share virtually identical MF/HF components, it's easy to hang al-4 arrays beneath al-8 arrays for near field coverage that maintains consistent a voicing while minimizing low frequency buildup.
Multi Band Line Array Systems
Bringing a whole new level of versatility and sound quality to mainstream line array applications, VUE's al-Class line array systems feature state-of-the-art transducers–including VUE's unique beryllium compression drivers–as well as intelligent system electronics, onboard SystemVUE networking, and full compatibility with VUEPoint beam forming technology.
All this technology is packed into two tightly- integrated electroacoustic line array systems that are made up of the al-Class acoustic elements and V Series System Engines, which provide power, processing and SystemVUE networking capabilities optimized for each array.
Two line arrays make up the al-Class family. The subcompact al-4 and the larger al-8 both benefit from VUE's most advanced technologies and designs, including a perfectly symmetrical transducer configuration that provides exceptional coverage control and unmatched sound field consistency.
al-4 and al-8 acoustic elements are mated to the V4 and V6 Systems Engines, respectively, to form a complete line array system. The V Series System Engines provide a highly-sophisticated, system optimized DSP/amplifier architecture that allows each individual component–from transducers, amplifiers and enclosures, all the way out to the SystemVUE software itself–to work in perfect harmony for precise control and easy operation. In fact, VUE's DSP technology is so powerful that it dramatically improves "out -of-the-box" performance while streamlining setup. Operators simply assemble the array, then select the appropriate array configuration from the SystemVUE software. Minimal EQ or tweaking is required and the operator is free to concentrate on creating the perfect mix.
The sophisticated combination of cutting- edge transducer technology, real-world cabinet design, and next generation integrated system electronics allow al-Class to deliver unprecedented sound quality, coverage control and scalability for applications ranging from corporate events to live concerts, fixed theater installations, ba houses of worship, and much more.
Standard System Blocks
Blocking the VUE
al-Class Line Array Systems are typically deployed in standard blocks built around the V Series engines capabilities. A standard al-4 block includes eight al-4 acoustic elements and a single V4 Systems Engine. A standard al-8 block includes four al-8 acoustic elements and a single V6 Systems Engine. Multiple blocks can be easily combined for more extensive systems. SystemVUE software allows for easy networking and optimization for the smallest to most expansive systems.
For applications where extended low frequency is required, the al-Class line array systems are fully compatible with a variety of VUE subwoofers. Flexible options allow flying or ground stacking of al-4 arrays, while an underhand fly bar allows al-4 and al-8 arrays to be combined for improved near field coverage.

The First Resource for Jails
The Emergence of National Standards
During the 1970s, jail and prison standards were published by 8 or 9 special-interest organizations including, but not limited to, the American Correctional Association (ACA), the U.S. Department of Justice, the American Public Health Association, and the American Bar Association. Each of the various standards had one thing in common; their standards were reflections of the goals and prisoner-management philosophies of the organization that published them. Each organization advocated what it defined as the most appropriate and correct way to operate corrections facilities. Of the corrections management standards that were published during the 1970s, only the ACA standards1 survived. The ACA publishes a one-size-fits-all set of standards for jail operations, the Adult Local Detention Facility standards (ALDF). The ALDF are based on the proposition that the organization's hand-picked collection of
The ACA approach to standards development assumes the organization's standards are "best practices" which are the result of a consensus among the nation's corrections professionals. Over the past 35 years I have provided training, technical assistance, policy and procedure writing, standards writing, and planning assistance to jail and prison officials from nearly every state in the U.S. I have learned during that time that there is no consensus among corrections officials about how best to manage and operate jails and certainly no consensus that ACA's standards are the answer. I am not alone in my view of the lack of consensus among corrections officials regarding the claimed benefits of ACA's detention standards. John J. DiIulio, a professor at Princeton University, completed an exhaustive study of various corrections management systems during which time he also evaluated the ACA standards. According to Professor DiIulio, "It is no disrespect . . . to the ACA to point out that neither the ACA nor any other group has accumulated anything that even remotely resembles a body of proven knowledge about how to manage prisons well." He discovered during his research that "there is no discernable consensus among correctional practitioners that the ACA's voluminous publications and accreditation activities are based on an accurate assessment of how best to operate prisons2."
It might well border on hubris to assume any one person or organization could write a one-size-fits-all set of "best practices" or standards that would be the perfect approach to managing each and everyone of the thousands of correctional facilities in the U.S. What one organization or person views as a best practice may be considered folly by others. ACA's self-appointed role as the organization that knows best is illustrated by an email regarding the U.S. Supreme Court's recent ruling Florence ruling that reversed lower court-imposed restrictions on strip searches of prisoners being booked into jails3. The ACA supported the prisoners' litigation against the County as indicated in this email written to NIJO by one of its contributing authors:
I get really tired of the many variations I hear of "no one is going to tell us what to do." The constant turnover in sheriff leadership and jail administration is a recipe for disaster, as demonstrated by the endless involvement of the courts with jail conditions and operations. "Outsiders" will stop intruding in jails when officials and administrators get it right. Consistently right.
Although, as Justice Breyer pointed out in his dissenting opinion in the Florence case, the ACA supported continuing the strip search restrictions – restrictions that compromise the safety of officers and prisoners – the vast majority of Sheriffs and jail officials (and the NSA) applauded the U.S. Supreme Court's decision overturning the strip search restrictions. With such wide differences between points of view and ACA officials supporting the prisoners' litigation4, how can ACA's standards speak for all Sheriffs and jail officials or be accepted by Sheriffs?
As Commander of the Salt Lake County Jail, then later the Executive Director of the Utah State Department of Corrections, I knew more about the profile of the prisoners we were incarcerating, our design and construction of our physical facilities, local public attitudes regarding corrections issues, and the budget and other resources available to us than did a collection of standards committee members sitting around a conference table 2000 miles away. What I did not know when I was first assigned to the Salt Lake County Jail was the legal requirements that governed my management and operation of the jail. It would have been useful to have had a system of guidance regarding the legal requirements for the various aspects of the management of jail. None were available at that time.
Unfortunately, the first set of standards I got my hands on – those published by ACA – provided no assistance in understanding the constitutional and other legal requirements which, if violated, could subject the Salt Lake County Sheriff and me to liability in federal court. And, compliance with the standards offered no protection against liability. The Supreme Court has overturned federal courts that had based rulings on noncompliance with ACA's and other so-called national standards. According to the Supreme Court, "
Legal Based Standards
In 1993, I was asked by state corrections directors from several of the western states – unhappy with the ACA's philosophy-based standards – to write prison standards that were annotated with case law, statutes, and other authority7. In 1994, as I was completing the prison standards, the Utah Sheriffs' Association asked me to write jail standards that were annotated with legal authority to replace the standards the Utah Sheriffs' Association had been using for the previous15 years. Both the western corrections directors and the Utah Sheriffs' Association wanted something that provided guidance that was based on and cited the legal authority that governed incarceration of prisoners. Over 500 legal-based standards or guidelines were written and annotated with citations of the legal authority that officials needed to know to adopt constitutional policies and procedures and training.
What is the difference between legal-based guidelines and the philosophy-based standards such as those promulgated by the ACA? The difference is actually profound. Standards such as those published by ACA provide several hundred standards or processes that, according to the U.S. Supreme Court, merely "establish goals recommended by the organization in question";8 however, "while the recommendations of these various groups may be instructive in certain cases, they simply do not establish the constitutional minima." 9 Simply put, any of these organizations' published standards simply provide the assumptions and recommendations of a group-think process instead of giving guidance regarding the requirements necessary to operate a constitutional jail.
Legal-based standards do not seek to dictate to Sheriffs regarding what is necessary to comply with an organization's philosophy regarding jail operations – so-called best practices. Instead, legal-based guidelines inform Sheriffs and jail officials of what the federal courts have ruled and what federal statutes require with respect to incarcerating prisoners. As a young child growing up in Idaho, I spent my summers working on my grandparents' ranch. I remember my grandfather having me drive a tractor back to the ranch house from the fields a mile or so from the house. His only instruction before I set off, was to "Keep it between the ditches." In other words, don't run off the road.
That is what the legal-based standards attempt to do - provide Sheriffs and their jail officials with the legal requirements to help them stay between the ditches, instead of providing a one-size-fits-all standard for all jails. All jails are governed by the same U.S. Constitution; however, there may be many ways to comply with a constitutional requirement. Instead of arbitrarily selecting an approach as the organization's mandate, legal-based standards simply provide officials with a set of individual guidelines that explain what the law requires officials to do or prohibits officials from doing. That approach allows Sheriffs and their jail officials to choose their own path, as long as they stay between the ditches.
The guidelines adopted by the NSA – like the standards I wrote for Utah, Oregon, Arizona, Alabama, and others – provide for each individual guideline:
The legal-based guidelines adopted by the National Sheriffs' Association under the direction of NSA President Larry Amerson and NSA Executive Director Aaron Kennard recognize and support the principle that the discretion for formulating and adopting jail policies and procedures resides with the Sheriff and his appointed jail officials, a concept approved by the Supreme Court.
"[T]he problems that arise in the day-to-day operation of a corrections facility are not susceptible of easy solutions. Prison administrators therefore should be accorded wide-ranging deference in the adoption and execution of policies and practices that in their judgment are needed to preserve internal order and discipline and to maintain institutional security." 10
Administrative discretion is apparently not held in high regard in the ACA world. Certainly, by supporting the prisoner-filed litigation that would deny Sheriffs the discretion over policies governing strip searches, ACA officials did not demonstrate trust in Sheriffs' discretion. Tate McCotter, NIJO Administrator, received an email indicating such, stating "If [sheriffs and jail administrators] are the true experts, then I would suggest that they are also the perpetrators of the grievous practices and conditions that keep coming to the courts." He then wrote that they encompass "the best and the worst, the professionals and the crackpots. Being a sheriff does not, in my experience, automatically qualify someone to know how to run a jail. I hope that's not what you are implying. The same could be said for jail administrators – having the title does not mean they are qualified."
It is interesting that after his critique of Sheriffs expertise and susceptibility to prisoner suits, the author writes, "There are many examples of [ACA] accredited jails losing lawsuits and that should not be a surprise." And, he correctly adds, "The courts have been specific in saying they will not use ALDF11 as an indication of constitutional minimums, and that's good because that's never been the intent of the ALDF standards." 12
A Few Last Words
There is a major difference in content, objectives, and intent between the ACA's standards and legal-based standards. The legal-based standards recognize the authority of Sheriffs to employ their discretion to set and/or approve jail policy. There are certainly wide differences among sheriffs regarding their knowledge of jail operations. One approach to maximizing Sheriffs' and jail officials' understanding of the legal requirements for managing and operating jails is to have a group of hand-picked committee members decide how Sheriffs should run their jails, yet not base their standards on legal requirements. The legal-based guidelines approach is entirely different. Legal-based standards recognize that the courts have already provided countless rulings regarding the legal requirements for operation jails, then codify the information in an easily understandable format to assist Sheriffs and their jail officials to use the guidelines in policy writing, training, and decision making.

"It's not whether you win or lose, it's how you play the game." Through overuse, this quotation usually falls on deaf ears. If one were presented the entire quotation, it might have its intended impact.
The abridged quotation came from the final two lines of one of the many poems written about sports by this country's first great sportswriter, Grantland Rice. "For when the One Great Scorer comes to mark against your name, He writes–not that you won or lost–but how you played the Game."
The full quotation has value beyond the world of sports. The One Great Scorer—our Creator—will mark against our name at judgment day, and He will note how we conducted ourselves in the Game of life, not just in a little league game. We will be judged by how we treated our friends, how we behaved in business, or what kind of parents we were.
Rice lived by his own words. Before leaving for duty in World War I, he entrusted his entire fortune (about $75,000, big money at that time) to a friend. Upon returning from the war, Rice discovered that his friend had lost all the money in bad investments, and then committed suicide. Rice's reaction was to look inward, accepting blame for putting "that much temptation" in his friend's way. Rice then made monthly contributions to the man's widow for the next 30 years. The One Great Scorer had reason to mark favorably against the name of Grantland Rice.
"It's not whether you win or lose . . ." has become cliché. It's a good sentiment but a feeble one compared to the original quotation from which it was derived, and is one of many examples of sports-based quotations and sayings that can enrich our lives if we allow sports to "build character," as another sports saying suggests.
Bill Cairo is the author and publisher of a soon-to-be released book about inspirational sports quotations, entitled "The Story Behind the Glory--Winning Quotes from Sports Greats on the Game of Life." A lifelong sports fan and admirer of a good quotation, he seeks wisdom and inspiration from sports greats, their quotations and their stories.
Has Education Today Become a By-Word for Our Indoctrination?
What matters is who you choose to be.

With the end of the Vermont girls basketball and boys and girls hockey regular season coming Saturday, sports fans will soon turn their attention to the playoffs.
Here's a rundown to the top places on the web to follow all the postseason action.
The only website that provides comphrensive coverage from one end to the state to the other is the Burlington Free Press website. Sure, there are other websites that cover individual schools better, noone provides the breadth of the coverage that the Free Press delivers.
From playoff pairings online throughout the tournament to updated scores through each night of the tournaments to individual game summaries from each game, the Free Press is the gold standard. (Full disclosure: I do work at the Free Press as a temporary part-time worker.)
In addition to their standard fare, the site also features the Varsity Insider blog managed by high school beat writer Alex Abrami. All season long Abrami has offered up power rankings of the top high school hockey and basketball teams.
Another site that does a good job of covering high school sports, albeit with an eye more focused on the Northeast Kingdown, is Northeast Sports Network.
NSN has game stories, photos and scores - the typical fare you'd expect from a sports website - but's also a portal for a couple of unique, live talk shows that stream five days a week on the web.
• Corm, Coach & Lana live daily from 7-9 a.m. Call in at 802-316-4193.
• The Big Sports Show with George Commo and Jack Healey live from 9-11 a.m. Call in at 802-863-5678.
There was a time when the Rutland Herald, Barre Times Argus and Caledonian Record websites were must-reads for high school sports fans, but these two website have now gone to pay-to-view format.
The Newport Daily Express, Brattleboro Reformer and Bennington Banner all offer free content updated daily with a strong regional bent. The state's only other daily newspaper - the St. Albans Messenger - has no regular online sports news on its website.
A newcomer onto the scene is Vermont Scoreboard - a website dedicated to mainly northwestern Vermont sports with game stories and photos, scores, schedule and it's own version of power rankings.
One of the best features on the site is the photography of Shane Bufano, one of the top sports photographers in the region.
Speaking of top sports photographers - check out Paul Lamontagne's Vermont Sports Images, Lamoureux Photo Studio and, while your at it, here's a plug for my own Cold Hollow Photography website.
If you know of another good website where people can find high school sports information, please share it in the comment section so others can benefit from your knowledge.
If you are too shy to post, send me a direct message via twitter @scorrow, or through Facebook (Shawn Corrow).

Bowling News USA - June 28, 2012 Weber Wins 47th PBA Regional Title with Storm IQ™
Storm staffer and PBA Hall of Famer Pete Weber of St. Ann, Mo., spoiled the PBA debut of top-qualifier and fellow staffer Derek Eoff of Madison, Wis., when he defeated the former Team USA member, 248-217, to claim his record 47th PBA Regional title in the Midwest Region's Oak Forest Chameleon Open sponsored by American Family Insurance at Oak Forest (Ill.)

This is one of those days, when most of the pain has left me. For one reason or another, which I cannot figure out, the physical discomfort from disease and medication, has left me. I know the pain will return, it is inevitable. Yet for this moment I try to rest, content and rejoice, relatively free of struggle.
Over the years, I have developed some of the ways of the old. At times, body and mind slow and memories increase. Seeing more clearly those I love engage in triumphs, failure and illness; ever slowly and inevitably moving forward toward their next phase.

Tim Geithner: Prone to 'Odd Fits of Giggling'
The auto industry gives Tim Geithner the giggles.
"Tim was organized and low-key, although given to occasional bursts of profanity and odd fits of giggling." —Ex-car czar Steven Rattner dishes on the Obama administration's views of Detroit during the bailouts in his upcoming book, Overhaul. No one was spared. According to Rattner, Obama asked, "Why can't [GM and Chrysler] make a Corolla?" Rahm Emanuel said, "Why even save GM?" and "F--k the UAW." FDIC Chief Sheila Bair was a "sometimes disingenuous self-promoter." And JPMorgan vice-chair Jimmy Lee was a crybaby. Don't these people sign NDAs?

Ruger SR9 Range Report and Opinions
I recently purchased a Ruger SR9, this particular pistol was the standard bi-tone model, with a serial number of 330-23XXX. This means that it was manufactured prior to the firing group upgrade but it was retrofitted at the factory.
I was unimpressed with this pistol when it was launched and equally unimpressed looking at in several different dealers display cases. I was also very leery of the model due the need for a massive recall, the reports of barrel peening, and magazine release problems. I had dry fired a few prior to the recall (with magazine in place) and thought the trigger was quite horrible. I however felt that the slimness and overall feel of the pistol was excellent.
I recently saw another one in a dealers case with the upgraded Glck-like trigger and thought I would dry fire is and see if they managed to improve the trigger. I can safely say it was a remarkable improvement. I am not a fan of stock Glock triggers because I feel the point that the sear is tripped at is rather mushy and vague. While this SR9, although it had a slightly gritty pre-travel the release, although stiff was very affirmative. Long story shot it went home with me...the price was a bargain.
Upon initially taking the pistol apart to clean the thick oil the factory had put on as a preservative I was alarmed to find a slight peen on the front of the barrel hood where it locks up in the slide. However after comparing it to some "real" cases of barrel peening I soon realized it was noting to worry about and my friends Walther P99 actually has worse wear. I cleaned and re-lubed the pistol and promptly removed the magazine "disconnect" (it disconnects NOTHING) and proceeded to work the slide and dry fire it many, many times. This markedly improved the smoothness of the operation and the trigger.
I just today returned from the range after a 250 test run. My ammo was 115 gr. Blazer Brass. Not one malfunction. The sights we spot on, I hate...HATE 3 dot sights but these were great. I repeatedly tore one ragged hole in the target inside of 10 yards during slow fire. The trigger was excellent for double taps and rapid fire thanks to the very positive reset, I could ride it very easily. Ergonomics were fantastic, I like the arched backstrap, fills my hand just right, but still lets me shoot with my first knuckle on the trigger (I am a revolver guy so this is my preferred trigger technique, and this is the first semi auto that has allowed me to do this with ease). The very low bore axis contributed to fast follow up shots. Controls were a non-issue for me, they felt natural but I would want to really run the gun through a defensive course to get a real familiarity with them.
When I took the pistol apart to clean the wear on the barrel hood had smoothed out and appeared to be normal. Clean was a snap, I have always appreciated stainless steel handguns and that was another point that drew me to this gun.
Overall for a firearm that I took a gamble on I feel it really paid off. I of course plan on running at least another 250 to 500 rounds of FMJ and at least 200 rounds of my JHP's through it before I even consider carrying it but I feel confident that this will be uneventful.
I hope this information is useful please let me know if you have any questions.

If you have ever made a Bar Graph, you know they can be a bit tedious to manage especially when your statistics change and require adjusting all of the bars! (And they will) Well, if that made sense to you, I feel your pain. For everyone else the picture will get much clearer when I take you through a practical use of expressions involving Time-Remapping. I will be using a bar graph chart as the example but these expressions are versatile and will likely give you ideas for your own projects.
One of the key benefits here is that I have rendered out my 3D Bar scene (that was designed for this tutorial) and it took about 5 hours but inside of After Effects I can control each bar individually eliminating the need to perform additional 3D rendering to adjust the bars.
Harry J Frank has a cool little tutorial from back in the day (AE 6.5) for building your very own pie graph in After Effects.
I know expressions can be a little tricky so I want to make this tutorial easy for everyone, stay tuned.

2. Save your Bar as a 3D model.
3. Open the BKG in Photoshop CS4 Extended and save it as a PSD file BKG.psd.
4. Choose add a 3D file and add the Bar

Maybe If you add lasers as a grid, then it would look better.. idk, Experiment! :)
Thanks for everything
If the camera is moving when you render the scene, the bar will be displaced. If you need animation, you will just have to do it in the 3D program. But like I said above, you can add a little camera movement before the stats pop up to give more life. This technique can be done with solid layers inside of AE too, the 3D stuff is just a way to make the tutorial look cool. The information is the subject.
This should be much clearer when he tutorial comes out.
"Camera movement through a pre-rendered 3D scene? No."
Please, mistake me if I'm wrong, but couldn't the technique you demonstrated in The Bullet be used to accomplish precisely this?
Specifically, couldn't the camera move be created in the 3D program, and then exported into after effects? Then the AE camera move of the graphs would match that of the scene, making the information more visually interesting with a trucking pan or something.
y the reflection so real..
Also I think the link died on my previous comment of my version so I did a little more work and added the numbers I mentioned.
Wouldn't be half as good at AE as I am now without you Andrew!
thank you very much
amazing Androw
u r gret man
It's alot darker but more glowy.
Damn Andrew's is good though
It's a pitty that I am really suckage at 3d software.
I know it's probably made mostly of cylinders, but you make it look natural.
Whenever i try to create something similar it looks too artificial, too symmetrical.
I like the sound effects, where do you get them from?
So, I do hope you'll release the 3D MAX file, so I can at least mess around with that :P
(I'm pretty n00bish in 3D at the moment)
I used a raytraced material with a small noise filter in the bump channel for the reflective gloss! For the glow material I just used self illumination.
Some things make good tutorials, others are better left to experimentation and practice.
Can't wait for that new tutorial!!!!
And the second part of the interview!
From Argentina.
You think It could be used for other stuff besides graphs too??
Ps Great Interview Can't wait for second Half!!
Kind Regards
p.p.s. I'm ashamed but must admit that unlike your wife, I don't have an Andrew to ask who J.J. Abrams is so I had to google him... guess I'm a little disconnected from the world... damn AE! :-)
Now that's a slogan!
Any updates to the banner post soonish?
But I'm sad that this isn't a 3D tutorial.
I'm gonna need to auto-expressionate the sentence
'You guys should be on the moon'
if you keep making this awesome stuff
I'm actualy pretty sure I'll have to do that :p
Well if that ment anything to you ... GREAT
If not, I'll be killing your family ...
No seriously
Just kidding
A big thanks and congratz to Andrew from good ol' ShoeToad for making people like me this interested in this stuff
love tuts for beeing "AE tuts" good choice
Camera movement through a pre-rendered 3D scene? No. But if you are clever, you can make a camera movement before the Bar animation begins.
I'm not going to be demonstrating the 3D portion, just a lot of time moving cylinders around.
The rest of the scene is nice !(especially the background :p)
And I agree with Adam, a nice camera move (like you always do) would be cool.
anyway great job !
could do with some camera movement though

We use a form of small area estimation in which survey data is carefully modelled, and the parameter estimates applied to national, small area administrative data. As a result we can produce a detailed map for the survey target variable which is of great value in marketing.
Predictive analytics in manufacturing uses models extracted from historical order and production related records to support the optimization of manufacturing processes. For instance, forecasting the overall amount of incoming orders is crucial for a) properly scheduling and sizing raw material and part orders and b) configuring processes as e.g. final assembly or testing. Loosely based on a specific subproblem in one of our ongoing R&D projects, this howto showcases the process of building an order amount predictor in R.
One of the more important aspects for applying Quality Improvement in Healthcare is the reporting of information on a timely and continuous basis.
Researchers overpromise and undeliver on patient accrual, the time frame in which they plan to obtain the proposed sample sizes for their research studies. It is not uncommon for a researcher to promise to get 100 patients within a year, but then struggle to get even a dozen patients after two years. Slow patient accrual leads to delays in completion of the study or sample size shortfalls or both.

I have a paper under review at a journal where I (along with my co-author) provided theoretical verification for applying the Pythagorean Won-Loss formula to hockey. Originally devised for baseball, the Pythagorean Won-Loss formula estimates the percentage of games a team should have won at a particular point in a season. For decades, this formula had no mathematical justification from first principles. In 2006, the second author provided a statistical derivation by making some heuristic assumptions about the distributions of runs scored and allowed by baseball teams.

After completing dafuge's challenge I needed a new challenge. So i thought a great new challenge would be the San Marino Double Challenge.
I will start as former San Marino international player Ivan Matteoni. I will take control of the club team San Marino in the italian serie C2, and apply for the National team as soon as the opportunity arises.
Italy - Serie C2
Large Database
All players with nationality Sanmarinese
Take San Marino to the top of italian football, and through the club team produce enough good players to qualify San Marino to a major international tournament. That's my aim. I'll probably fail, but at least I've tried then :-)
I will play as much as time permits and will produce yearly summaries.

- " Excellent experience, surpassed my expectations! "

- " Very easy to find, only about a block from the haubanhoff! The bilingual staff was very friendly and helpful, and we're happy to store luggage during the day before check-in. Bathrooms are in each room which was very convenient, and the building was extremely clean. The atmosphere is fun, with lots of hilarious pictures and memes posted around the building. The small bar is a perfect place for evening socializing and the staff there were great also. Excellent hostel, I will stay here again! "

- " I like the centralised location of the hostel, which makes travelling around Bavaria extremely convenient, since the Hauptbahnhof is just a stone throw away. The atmosphere of the hostel is relaxing for travellers to sit down after a long day, and also make some friends along the way. The breakfast served is also very value-for-money. "
- 16 Dec 2015 HONG CHAN Singapore
- " Being not a twenty-something, this is about the only hostel I will still stay at. Everything is clean and the staff is great! They even have a washer dryer if you need to do a quick load of clothes. Recommend this place to the highest. "
- 11 Dec 2015 Anonymous USA
- " Nice location Wifi can be accesible in room Freindly staffs u ever met "
- 23 Nov 2015 YING SHIN Taiwan
- " The Munich Wombats isn't as large as its sister hostel, in Vienna, but it's every bit as well maintained and well staffed. The dorm rooms are spacious and the internet is fast. Towels are free. The 4.50 Euro breakfast is as good as the one in the Vienna hostel. They have a good bar. The hostel's location is a strong suit; it's within a block of the main train station, and a ten minute walk from the old town. The only thing lacking is a common kitchen, which the law forbids. "

- " very good place to spend good time "
- 16 Oct 2015 MOHAMMAD Egypt
- " This hostel was so awesome! The staff were so nice and there is a bar with really great happy hours. The only issue I had was the shower was small ( I could barely turn around inside the shower) but everything else made up for that. What was also awesome is that they were in front of the station! It was super convenient to get around. "
- 13 Oct 2015 Anonymous USA
- " Hostel location was great and easy enough to get to where we wanted to go. They ran and organised day tours to Neuschwanstein Castle but the day i went to do it they cancelled it so had to DIY, but turned out cheaper anyway. But didn't tell me til 15 mins after we were supposed to be there. Good wifi here, but breakfast expensive so went down road to local supermarket and bought food for way cheaper. Rooms nice and clean, but no kitchen area for travellers to use, but cheap food places around. "

LIBERAL, KS - In recognition of National Medical Laboratory Professionals Week (NMLPW), April 18-24, Southwest Medical Center welcomes and encourages the public to take part in a tour of their lab and get a "behind the scenes" look at their important role in healthcare.
"Lab Week" is an annual observance recognizing the vital contribution laboratories make to the quality of the nation's health care. In this 34th year, NMLPW celebrates the important contributions that are made every day to healthcare and public health by all laboratory professionals. It is sponsored by ten laboratory professional organizations, including APHL. There are approximately 300,000 practitioners of laboratory science in the United States. Since the development of this career group in the 1920s, the laboratory science professional has played an increasingly vital role in the diagnosis and prevention of disease.
As team members of one of the largest industries in the United States, the dedicated efforts of laboratory professionals often go unnoticed by the general public, as well as by the very institutions employing their services. With the public now demanding the assurance of quality health care and professional accountability, organizations representing practitioners of this critical science have a responsibility to ensure that the public is well informed about laboratory competency.
The theme this year is "Laboratory Professionals Get Results."
Tours are available April 19 at 10:30 am; April 21, at 10:30 am and 5 pm; and on April 23, 10:30 am and 5 pm. Those taking part in a tour can also take part in a number of lab-related games for a chance at prizes. Refreshments will be served.
The event is free and open to the general public. For more information please contact Donna Lagunas by calling (620) 629-6540; Nancy Kletecka at (620) 629-6335 or via email to email@example.com .

The iconic navy and white stripes of our Women's French Sailor Boatneck shirt is based on a pattern originally intended for deep sea fishermen in Breton, but that has since been adopted by seafarers and yachtsmen across the ages. The sweaters were originally worn by "marchand d'ail," sellers of garlic and onions who sailed from Brittany to England with their wares. Eventually the French Navy adopted the tight-knit wool design, but only sailors and new recruits wore stripesofficers alone were permitted to wear solid colors.
Made in France, near Mont Saint-Michel in Normandy, by Saint James, the oldest manufacturer of nautical wear and supplier of the French Navy since 1889.

The Isaac Low Chapter of the Daughters of the Republic of Texas (DRT) celebrated Texas Statehood Honor Day at their Feb. 19, 2014 meeting.
The DRT website explains that Texas Statehood Honor Day is February 19. It marks the date in 1846 when the Republic of Texas formally transferred the authority to the new State of Texas, even though the legal entry of Texas into the Union was Dec. 29, 1845.
"The Texans had until the end of the year in 1845 to accept the annexation as one of the states of the United States of America. They waited until December 29, 1845 to accept the terms, independent to the end. The formal transfer of authority from the Republic of Texas took place February 19, 1846 at the log capitol in Austin with President Anson Jones presiding. On this day we celebrate the end of the Republic of Texas."
Chapter members wore bandanas, hats and other frontier Texas attire and they celebrated with a special cake to mark the occasion.
The Isaac Low Chapter celebrated its 25th anniversary in 2013. The chapter was founded in 1988.
Approximately 7,000 women across the state are members of The Daughters of the Republic of Texas. There are 106 chapters.
Any woman having attained her 16th birthday is eligible for membership who is a lineal descendant of a man or woman who rendered loyal service for Texas prior to the consummation of the Annexation Agreement of the Republic of Texas with the United States of America February 19, 1846. Founded in 1891, The Daughters of The Republic of Texas is the oldest patriotic women's organization in Texas and one of the oldest in the nation.

A well reputed medical doctor of Baltimore, pleaded guilty today in charges of distribute drugs to his patients with no reasonable prescriptions which he extended and was paid through to the Medicaid program, in some cases.
John K. Yacoub (58) , gynecologist of Baltimore, Maryland pleaded guilty to conspiracy to distribute and possess with intent to distribute fentanyl, hydrocodone, oxycodone, morphine and methadone, known as powerful painkillers.
"Dr. Yacoub a long standing medical doctor, not only broke the law by drug trafficking, he betrayed the trust bestowed upon him by the public," stated in the courtroom Gary Tuggle, Assistant Special Agent in Charge of the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), Baltimore District Office.
"Members of the medical community are not untouchable when they prescribe controlled substances for no legitimate reason. The abuse of diverted prescription pain medication is the fastest growing drug problem in our country and our DEA Tactical Diversion Program is ready to tackle this problem," added Tuggle.
According to Dr. Yacoub's plea agreement, between 2012 and 2013 he provided prescriptions and pills to his Nevada-based girlfriend, who was a drug addict. He initially provided her with Vicodin, and later with oxycodone and morphine.
During a search warrant executed on September 23, 2013, investigators obtained patient files for Dr. Yacoub's girlfriend, and others patiens named in the court as "person A" and "person B". None of their files reflected any medical treatment or medical reason for the medications prescribed to them by Dr. Yacoub.
Yacoub who had practiced gynecology and obstetrics for 30 years in the Baltimore area before surrendering his medical license in November,admitted that providing the prescriptions to his girlfriend, "person A" and "person B" was not within the scope of accepted medical practice.
The medical professional faces now a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison, said United States Attorney Rod J. Rosenstein and the sentence was scheduled for September 23, 2014 for the U.S. District Judge Catherine C. Blake.
