The Taxi is a four-door sedan-based taxi featured, in some form or other, in nearly all of the games in the Grand Theft Auto series (with the exception of Grand Theft Auto: London 1969 and London, 1961, which instead featured the London Cab, and Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars, where the Cabbie is the only taxi).
Distinguishable by its yellow livery, it is often one of the most common vehicles on the road. Between GTA III and GTA Vice City Stories, the Taxi can be used to perform taxi side-missions.
In Grand Theft Auto 1, there are three versions of the Taxi; the Liberty City version is based on the Portsmouth, the San Andreas version is based on the Vulture, and the Vice City version is based on the Flamer.
The Taxi in Grand Theft Auto 2 is similar to an elongated Fiat 500 with the checkered stripe crossing the roof horizontally.

GTA III — GTA Vice City Stories
From Grand Theft Auto III onwards, the Taxi is usually based on the same model as the police car from its respective game:
- In GTA III, the Taxi resembles a cross between a late model Chevrolet Caprice and Ford Crown Victoria, although shrunken to the size of a compact sedan (the Caprice and Crown Victoria were full-size sedans). There also appears to be resemblances of the Fiat Marea (1996–2002), particularly the shape. There are minor variants available, with darker bumpers and different taxi lights.
- In Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, the Taxi is a Ford LTD look-alike.
- In Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas the Taxi is based on the Premier, designed after the 1991-96 Chevrolet Caprice.
- The Taxi in GTA Advance has little indication of which car it is based on, but is generally more boxy in design when compared to the game's Police vehicle.
- The taxis in Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories and Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories are largely identical to the GTA III and GTA Vice City renditions, respectively. The GTA Liberty City Stories rendition may appear with yellow, black, or gray bumpers, as well as two types of TAXI signs, a traditional one with the writing on the sides, and one with orange lights on the sides and the writing facing forwards.

There are two different taxi sedans in Grand Theft Auto IV; one built by Declasse, based on the Merit, which is the 2000-2005 Chevrolet Impala, and the other built by Vapid, based on the Stanier, influenced strongly by the 1992–1997 Ford Crown Victoria P72, with frontal design cues more similar to a 1998–2011 model.
While the Taxis come standard with regular taxi lights, some have rooftop advertisements for "WTF", "Banging Trash Can Lids for an Hour", "Conjoined Twins", "The Science Of Crime", and Weazel News, both of which can detach in collisions. Both models contain a medallion on the front hood, which is used to indicate that New York City Taxi are licensed to pick up passengers; they also have a red marker on the back left. Vapid Taxis may also have yellow, grey, or black bumpers, much like the Taxis in GTA Liberty City Stories.
Players can enter Taxis in GTA IV and take taxi rides to destinations, which is often a quicker alternative to driving themselves.
Warning: in The Ballad of Gay Tony, using a taxi during missions will often result in the completion challenges for that mission being voided due to being able to bypass the time limit using one.

Early renditions of the Taxi are generally undesirable due to their mediocre performance. While differing between cities and partially based on muscle vehicles, GTA 1's taxis are generally slow, but compensate with good steering. In GTA 2 the opposite is the case, with moderate speed but sluggish controls, inferior to the Taxi Xpress. Both games' renditions have moderate crash endurance.
Each Taxi in GTA 1 has a low base export value of $2,000, while the Taxi in GTA 2 awards the player Double Damage when crushed.
GTA III — GTA Vice City Stories
Although the appearance of the Taxi between GTA III and GTA Vice City Stories varies drastically, the Taxi's performance in these games may be described as all-round average. With moderate speed, moderate acceleration, light construction, moderate endurance, capable steering, and stable cornering (all traits which are helpful during Taxi Driver missions), the Taxi is generally an acceptable vehicle to drive.
The vehicle is also front wheel drive, reducing the chances of tailspins when cornering and allowing the vehicle to perform 180-degree turns backwards or forward with ease.
The GTA III rendition of the Taxi possesses almost identical handling properties to that of the Kuruma. However, the Taxi does not suffer from the stiff suspension and heavy kerb weight the Kuruma has.
The GTA San Andreas rendition of the Taxi has a 0-60 mph (97 km/h) acceleration time of only 5.4 seconds and a top speed of only 89 mph (144 km/h).
Two taxi models are present in GTA IV.
The Declasse Merit-based taxi in GTA IV is powered by a V6, coupled to a 5 speed gearbox in a RWD layout. Acceleration is very good, and the top speed is above average: 87 mph (140 km/h). The brakes have been upgraded over the regular Merit, requiring a shorter stopping distance and thus reducing the risk of being ejected through the windshield after a frontal impact. The suspension has also had an upgrade, making this vehicle corner more effectively at speed. Crash deformation is acceptable, and the car can survive a few frontal impacts before giving.
The Vapid Stanier-based Taxi is powered by a 4.6 L V8, coupled to a 5 speed gearbox in a RWD layout. Acceleration is good, and the top speed is above average: 87 mph (140 km/h). Its braking and suspension are very good, identical to that of the Police Cruiser; ABS is standard, and the suspension easily handles cornering and smooths out the bumpy roads of Liberty City. Crash deformation is good, and the vehicle can sustain multiple frontal impacts before failing.
Strange enough, both cars are slightly slower than the GTA San Andreas rendition, which can reach 89 mph (144 km/h).
The Taxi in GTA V is based on the second generation Stanier. Its gearbox, engine specs, and layout are exactly the same as the first-generation Stanier. Overall performance is identical to the Police Stanier, although its engine is markedly less powerful.
Taxi side missions
If Franklin purchases Downtown Cab Co., then all taxi rides will be free for him, and will also unlock special taxi missions just for him.
Customization in GTA San Andreas
In GTA San Andreas, the Taxi is one of only a handful of public vehicles that could be customized at a modification workshop, specially, at TransFender. The modification options of the vehicle are modest, and are nearly identical to the modification options available for the Premier, which the Taxi is based on (the only option unavailable is the roof scoop option, which presumably clashes with the Taxi's rooftop taxi sign).
Italicized pricing denotes prices at the Las Venturas TransFender, which charges 20% more except Colors.
Taxi companies
- Borgnine Taxis
- Kaufman Cabs
- Mean Street Taxis
- Sunnyside Taxis
- Vice City Cabs
- Downtown Cab Co.
- In some of the games in the series, Taxis' radios default to certain stations. They are as follows:
- GTA Vice City and GTA Vice City Stories: Espantoso or VCPR
- GTA San Andreas: CSR 103.9
- GTA Liberty City Stories: Radio Del Mundo
- GTA IV: San Juan Sounds (Declasse Taxi); WKTT, Public Liberty Radio, Integrity 2.0 (Vapid Taxi)
- GTA V: West Coast Talk Radio or East Los FM
- In GTA Vice City, Taxis have white spots on the windshield due to an error in applying the vehicle's reflection map.
- In GTA III and GTA Vice City, Taxis may very rarely spawn without their lights on top. In these cases, saving the car in a garage will not fix it. In GTA IV, the taxi light can be broken off by impacts.
- In GTA III, the player will get $25 after carjacking a taxi.
- Taxi drivers tend to be vengeful, exiting their vehicle and assaulting the player if they damage the taxi; they may pull the player out of their own vehicles, or throw punches if they meet the player on foot. In GTA IV, they hold onto the player's car door while he or she attempts to escape, until the gaining speed forces them to let go. Oddly, sometimes they will pull the player out of their car, and then utter something before running back to their taxi and drive off.
- The GTA IV Taxi originally had a black variant, as seen in the Vladimir Glebov trailer.
- In GTA Vice City, the beta texture of the taxi appears when it is seen from afar.
- In GTA IV, most taxi drivers are men, however, you can usually find a woman taxi driver in Hove Beach, Broker.
- In GTA IV, the Vapid, Declasse, and Schyster Taxis have three different horns, differing in pitch with some with a high pitched, medium pitched, and lower pitched horns. The pitch determines how well and strong the horn sounds. The higher ranges usually are weak, mid-ranges usually have a somewhat over-blown or out of tune horn, while the lower pitches have healthy and loud horns. Most of the horns used can be traced back to civilian vehicles of different brands (such as Intruder, Pinnacle, DF8-90, Patriot, etc). A glitch sometimes happens when either taxi is stored in a parking spot and after a period of time, the horns will change no matter if it has been used or not, such as loud and healthy horns will change to the high pitched weak horns for no apparent reason. Loading any game saves changes them as well.
- In GTA IV, if a Taxi is rammed at a high enough speed, the taxi driver will die more easily than if any other car is rammed.
- Most of the taxi drivers in GTA IV speak in the Greek language, as well as most of the. A taxi driver may say "I'm Greek, you know" when held at gunpoint. Also, they usually cuss out traffic in front of them in Greek as well.
- In the first trailer to Grand Theft Auto IV a early version of the Vapid taxi can be seen on the Algonquin Bridge.
- In GTA IV, if the taxi sign is broken off of a taxi, it will still react as if it were attached. If the player turns off the engine, the light for the advertisements will turn off, and will turn back on when the player gets back in the taxi. Also, when the player destroys the cab, it will appear burnt no matter how far away it is from the car.
- In GTA IV, if a taxi is stored in a parking spot with the "on hire/duty" lights illuminated on the signs, they will sometimes spawn turned off or on randomly. However advertisement signs don't react with it.
- In GTA V, when switching to Franklin, he will be seen being dropped off by a Taxi in front of his house while saying goodbye to a young woman in the back seat. The taxi is missing a roof sign and sometimes has no license plate text. It can be obtained by killing the driver and attempting to open the locked door, in which this taxi will respawn next to Frankin's home the next time he's there. The lady runs away and Franklin can't shoot her for some reason, but can be still killed.
- In GTA V, oddly, if you slam into the rear of a taxi with a passenger in the backseat and kill the driver in the front seat, the passenger will climb out of the backseat and flee unharmed.
- A Taxi can be seen in several screenshots and in Franklin's trailer for Grand Theft Auto V.
- In GTA V, Taxis are harder to come by than in previous games, probably reflecting the real life western United States, which sees a low demand for taxi use relative to denser East Coast cities such as New York.
- The GTA V taxi's backseat has a lot of stickers. Among these stickers is the old 255 for Liberty City Government Services sticker from the IV Taxi.
- While the logo on the trunk of the GTA V taxi says "Taxi Cab", looking at it closer at an angle shows the writing "Police Cruiser" embossed under it. This is because while the Taxi model uses a different texture for the logo, its normal map is still that of the Police Cruiser.
- Despite this, both logos appear randomized when calling for a taxi.
- In GTA V, on both backseat passengers doors, there are warnings that say "Driver carries a firearm and will use it in defense". Note that no taxi drivers in GTA V are actually armed. This may refer to the fact that you're able to do taxi missions and all three characters are armed.
- When entering a cab as a passenger in GTA V, the character may say one of the lines they normally say while carjacking someone.
- It is seen in the GTA V film Meltdown that Liberty City still use the first generation Stanier (on which the GTA IV taxi is based on) instead of the second generation Stanier featured in GTA V.
- In GTA V, if the player hops around or the rear doors are blocked, the player may ride in the front passenger seat next to the driver. Note that the cab driver still looks back as though the player was in one of the rear seats when the location is chosen, if the location is chosen again or changed, or if the cab is stopped by the player with the start/stop option.
- While riding as a passenger in a taxi in GTA V:
- If the player takes multiple trips with the same cab driver and rushes each one, the player may start yelling out of anger to go. The player also yells if the GPS location is chosen again or changed.
- If the point of view camera is on the hood view and aimed at the windshield when the driver finishes the trip, then the next time the player enters (before getting busted or wasted), the unchanged view of the dash should stay even after the location is chosen.
- It is possible for the driver to become "stuck" behind an automatic gate due to approaching it from the wrong side. The driver will stay waiting for the gate to open until the player tells the driver to hurry up, or leaves the cab.
- The player can bail out of a moving taxi, skipping out on paying the driver his fee. This will likely result in a one star wanted level.
- The driver can respond to this; "Really?"
- If the player doesn't tell the driver to hurry, the cab driver will drive much slower than other NPCs (especially on highways).
- If the player obtains a wanted level, the driver will pull over, and the player will exit. Attempts to get back in as a passenger will result in the player carjacking the cab driver.
- If the player is spotted by members of a gang that are hostile towards them (i.e. if Trevor is spotted by members of The Lost MC), they will not confront or attack the player. Instead, they will flee as if they were scared.
- If passing a random encounter involving a hitchhiker, the player can tell the cab driver to stop, allowing the hitchhiker to enter.
- If the player replays a mission, they will no longer be riding in the cab upon returning to the restore point.
- If the player tries to pick up a passenger in a damaged taxi that is missing a wheel, the passenger will not enter the car, and eventually wander off. This is most likely due to the fact that the taxi is continuously leaning over onto the ground and back off, thus simulating movement, and obviously pedestrians cannot enter the "moving" vehicle.
- In GTA Online, the players must pay the cash on hand if riding a taxi, as cash will not be paid if it's banked.
- In GTA V, if the player does not have enough money to pay the ride he will gain a wanted level and the taxi driver will likely swear at the player.
- Parked on the opposite side of the road to Salvatore's Gentlemen's Club, Saint Marks, Portland.
- Commonly parked in Newport Multistory Car Park, Newport, Staunton Island.
- Parked in the parking lot of Francis International Airport, Shoreside Vale.
- Two parked in front of the terminal of Francis International Airport, Shoreside Vale.
- GTA Liberty City Stories
- Parked outside Mean Street Taxis, Trenton, Portland.
- Commonly parked in Newport Multistory Car Park, Newport, Staunton Island.
- Parked in front of the stairs leading to the Shoreside Terminal LCS, Francis International Airport, Shoreside Vale.
- A Declasse Merit Taxi may occasionally be parked on Asparagus Avenue in front of the LTA Headquarters,
- A Vapid Taxi can be found parked in an alley near Manganese Street and Burlesque in Star Junction, Algonquin.
- Taxis are the the most commonly spawning vehicles in Liberty City, and are particularly common in Downtown, Broker, Francis International Airport, and throughout Algonquin, especially The Triangle and Star Junction where Taxis make up the majority of road traffic. Taxis are less common in peripheral, industrial, and suburban areas of the city; notably, taxis will rarely spawn in eastern Dukes and northern Alderney and never spawn in Acter Industrial Park (Alderney), and in parts of Bohan.
- Calling Downtown Cab Co. will send one to the player's location.
- 6 Taxis always spawns in Downtown Cab Co. Headquarters in East Vinewood.
- Sometimes spawns in front of the Oriental Theater. (Usually 2 at a time)
- Always spawn in Los Santos International Airport, usually picking up and dropping passengers off.
- Taxis spawns in affluent and moderate areas of Los Santos, but rarely in residential areas and never spawns in southern and eastern areas of Los Santos, in industrial zones such as Terminal and Blaine County.

On Friday morning, the site uSwitch.com published photos of what appears to be the iPhone 6 casing. The most notable aspect of the casing is that there is barely any space between the screen and the home button. The space underneath the home button has also been decreased. In other words, the screen pretty much takes up most of the phone.
Steve Jobs was reportedly against the larger iPhone since he wanted the user to be able to use the phone with one hand. It appears that Apple has found a nice solution to making its upcoming 4.7-inch and 5.5-inch iPhones one-hand friendly. Apple is very late to the phablet-sized phone, but they probably wanted to make sure they had a very consumer-friendly item before releasing it.
Apple is holding a media event on September 9 to announce the new iPhones. Many believe that consumers will be able to purchase the iPhone two weeks later, but that the 5.5-inch version may not be released for another month. However, Los Angeles Industry Analyst Paul Mueller tells us that the 5.5-inch iPhone may be released the same day as the 4.7-inch one.
"I don't know where people are getting the information about Apple holding off on the release of the 5.5-inch iPhone. Most people I have talked to say it will be released at the exact same time as the smaller version. Apple would have a lot to lose by not releasing both phones at the same time," Mueller states.
Apple desperately needs the iPhone 6 to be a huge hit. The company used to have a complete stronghold in the smartphone industry, but manufacturers such as Samsung have taken away a lot of Apple's shine. Samsung will actually be releasing the hotly-anticipated Galaxy Note 4 around the same time Apple releases it's two latest phones.

Level 5 Adds Segal For 2014
MADISON, Wis. — Level 5 Motorsports has taken another big step toward solidifying its GT Daytona program for the upcoming 2014 season, in which they will field two Ferrari 458 Italia GT3 cars. Shortly after announcing the GTD program, Level 5 has added Jeffrey Segal to its 2014 line-up.
Since Level 5 unveiled its customer program and began actively pursuing drivers for the 2014 season, the response has been very positive, attracting interest from top talent from around the world. Segal, a two-time Grand-Am Rolex Sports Car Series GT class champion (2010, 2012) and Grand-Am Continental Tire Sports Car Challenge GS class champion (2007), adds another impressive résumé to a long list of accomplished drivers to have raced under the Level 5 banner.
"We've been very pleased with the response so far," said team owner Scott Tucker. "Our goal is always to put ourselves in position to win championships. And, we have the resources, the expertise, and the track record to show that we can do just that. We're very happy with the way things are shaping up for 2014."
Equally valuable is the particular expertise that Segal offers when it comes to Ferrari's. In recent years, he has been intricately involved in Ferrari's GTD development program.
"Level 5's commitment to the Ferrari program in GTD allows me to bring a lot of hands-on experience to help jump-start their effort, given my recent involvement with the racing and development of that model in Grand-Am," Segal said. "Since Ferrari debuted that project for the 2012, season, we've done an incredible amount of development and evolution with the car, which has produced two straight championships in only the first two seasons of the project. I have been a part of this entire process with the car, so hopefully I can help Level 5 bypass some of the learning curve, and extract the best performance from their new cars from the start of the season."
Segal is coming off a sixth-place finish in the 2013 Grand-Am Rolex Sports Car Series GT class driver standings and a fourth-place team finish. His hopes are high going into his first year with Level 5 Motorsports.
"I'm really looking forward to next year because I've basically seen Level 5 grow from nothing, when it was formed, up to what it is now, which is an internationally renowned championship-winning team," Segal said. "Having seen that progression, that evolution, the chance to join a group of people like this with the experience that they have and a brand as prestigious and storied as Ferrari is a tremendous opportunity. I can't see any reason not to be very enthusiastic about our prospects for next year."
In addition to the GTD program, Level 5 has two entries in the Prototype Challenge class for the upcoming season. More information on that program is expected in the coming weeks.

Posted on Monday, November 12, 2007 by Jim Norrena
In October 2007 Jennifer Hung (Graphic Design 2001) started her new job at T: The New York Times Style Magazine with a massive, looming deadline before she'd even sat down at her desk: just six weeks to populate the magazine's new website with more than a dozen brand-new films.
Not only did the site launch go off without a hitch, but four of those first films were nominated for Webby awards (two won) and two others were nominated for Emmys.
The pace hasn't let up since. The job requires extensive, in-depth knowledge not only of film and motion graphics, but also of directing, producing, curating, and publishing, not to mention the wide worlds of arts and entertainment. Here she talks a little about what her days are like, how her CCA experience led to her exciting new position, and the culture of glamour.
On her unique job title . . .
I'm the visual editor, which means that instead of assigning stories to writers, I assign films to directors. The New York Times Style Magazine needed somebody to lead their multimedia department, specifically producing and commissioning films for the website, and they didn't already have someone who could play that role. So they created this job I'm in now.
The application process was pretty arduous! For my first interview I had to pitch three film ideas to the magazine's senior photo editor, with only one week to prepare. I ended up pitching five ideas in the form of a multimedia presentation that covered travel, fashion, style, and food. During that first interview the senior editor introduced me to the creative director and the editor and asked me to present my ideas again, which was both exciting and intimidating.
On making 15 movies in six weeks . . .
The website is intended to complement the concept and philosophy of the magazine but have a life of its own, with films and videos that are influenced by the magazine's established taste, but brand new and very exclusive to the website. When I got the job I immediately had to produce 15 movies in six weeks! So I reached out to all these artists and directors and designers that I knew, and also some that I didn't know personally but knew their work, and helped them develop pitches.
On pushing the multimedia envelope . . .
The single most exciting thing for me about this job is when we come up with a really original, interesting concept for a movie and it gets people animated and talking.
This past year, during the Sundance Film Festival, I commissioned the indie director Brody Baker to do a series of 12 film shorts called T Takes. It stars some up-and-coming actors, and some others who are better known, like Josh Hartnett, Michael Pitt, and Lukas Haas. It's very experimental. Instead of sitting down for standard interviews, the actors act out an improvised scene—not related to a movie, and not an excerpt from anything. We filmed all the segments in this cool roadside motel in Utah, and it was snowing. We tried to create interesting, weird, subtle interactions between the characters. Now we're getting ready for the next T Takes in January, which we're planning to shoot in New York.
On working at the New York Times . . .
Another of our film series is Screen Test, interviews with celebrity actors. We've done more than 20 of them now, with Tom Cruise, George Clooney, Javier Bardem, Penelope Cruz, and others. I definitely wouldn't say I'm fascinated by celebrity or star culture per se, but it's certainly interesting and exciting! I worked in television for five years before this, at VH1 and Showtime, and my experiences there were more centered on art directing and brand management.
On her CCA experience . . .
I loved CCA. I visited and interviewed at schools on both coasts, and I chose CCA because of the faculty and the curriculum. They have some of the best graphic designers in San Francisco teaching there, and the web was taking off in a big way then, so I got to tailor my own program to include graphic design, motion graphics, film, and video. Everything I learned at school, and all my work experience since, has perfectly translated into the production and editorial work I'm doing now.
At CCA the studio program is really well balanced with humanities, and I got such a great, wide exposure to academia that I never would have had at another art school. Barry Katz's humanities courses introduced me to so many influential theorists and writers and philosophers.
Jim Kenney was a major and important influence. He brought so much experience to the classroom and helped me tremendously in forming my path—identifying and pursuing my passion. The projects he assigned were amazing and fun and interesting. I remember one where I made a film, a combination of digital footage and Super-8 footage shot on an old movie camera, with the premise that it was site-specific. I spent a good part of that semester filming at a horse racetrack. I got to know the staff there, who allowed me behind the scenes. That class, and my senior design courses in motion graphics and film, cemented my whole career direction.

OLYMPIA — Washington voters on Tuesday were weighing in on an "initiative on initiatives" that would make it easier to get measures on the ballot.
Initiative 517 requires that voters be allowed to have their say on any proposal that qualifies for the ballot, even if a lawsuit has been filed against it. The initiative also would give supporters a year, instead of the current six months, to collect signatures, and it would make it a misdemeanor to interfere with the signature-gathering process.
Initiative promoter Tim Eyman filed I-517 last year just weeks after the state high court ruled that city laws allowing for red light traffic cameras are not subject to repeal by voters.
Business groups and others had lined up in opposition, saying the proposal will affect their ability to deal with nuisances outside of their stores.
A state Supreme Court ruling in 1981 found that initiative backers have a constitutional right to gather signatures at a large regional shopping mall. A 2007 attorney general opinion notes a Court of Appeals ruling stating that right is tempered by the property's owner's ability to place "reasonable time, place and manner restrictions on the activity."
The attorney general's office has not stated whether I-517 would override time, place, or manner restrictions, or whether that would violate the constitutional rights of property owners, but initiative supporters have argued nothing in the proposal takes rights from business owners.

How can I work with my business partner, who's pregnant, when I so desperately want my own baby?
My business partner and I were trying to get pregnant at the same time. We even shared our ovulation calendars and helped one another figure out our most fertile days. She recently found out she's pregnant, and it's been hard on me. I'm happy for her, but it's become difficult to work with her when I desperately want my own baby. I don't want my personal feelings to get in the way of my job. Help!

I COMPLETELY feel your pain. My husband and I started trying to get pregnant the day we got married. We celebrated our 3 year anniversary this month and still no baby. He has a son from a previous relationship and so do I so we both know we're fertile people, we just don't know why we can't have a baby of our own, together. Meanwhile, my sister (about a year ago) announced to me she was pregnant (I played it up for her on the phone but once I hung up I had a long hard cry), she got married to her boyfriend this month now and she just shared with me she was pregnant AGAIN! Needless to say a lot of, "It's not fair!" and "Why not me!"'s were cried and asked to my bedroom ceiling. My poor husband didn't know what to do, he feels just as bad as I do that we haven't been able to conceive. Then being so wrapped up in those feelings I didn't notice I was late myself. Turns out I'm 5 weeks pregnant myself! It really happens when you least expect it. Be positive and supportive of others.posted 09/28/2007 by Tikichick27
We have been trying for five years and my dearest friend in the world just announced she is pregnant. I already had to live through my SIL's two pregnancies while I experienced 2 miscarriages and cancer. I'm trying to be supportive of my friend but I don't know how I will make it through the next eight months.posted 06/12/2006 by a BabyCenter Member
I feel for you. Last spring the exact smaething happened to me. My co-worker got pregnant, and while I wasnt planning to get pregnant right away (I was going through a divorce at the time) I still felt jealous. I eventually got over that, by involving myself in her quest to be healthy and happy. Im now a proud "auntie" to her beautiful girl. On the flip side, my ex's girlfriend got pregnant only months after they met, and I was (and still am) widly jealous. After all, thats one reason we broke up! He didnt want kids. But Im now with a wonderful man and we are currently on our 6th month of trying. Keep your fingers crossed!posted 11/05/2005 by a BabyCenter Member
To the person who called you a "jealous little thing" - that is rediculous. Remember that everyone handles pregnancy differently.. yes, even some will "complain" or stress over babysitters that aren't needed until a few months later... but what should you care about whether or not someone else is cherishing their baby like you would yours? We all know that some people simply have babies to get more money out of the government. The important part is what YOU do and think about your future family and the effort you make in living a fulfilling life with or without the ability to have your own children. I am 4 months pregnant (after trying for over a year and a half and it seemed like just everyone was getting pregnant besides me) and my coworker was 4 weeks ahead of me with her second pregnancy when she miscarried in September. I feel like an awful constant reminder that she is no longer pregnant. I don't know how much information to give and how much to withold to make it as easy on her as possible.. but the fact is, it's not my fault that I am pregnant and she isn't. So what are you gonna do? Keep your head up and good things will happen to you and yours. Good luck.posted 11/02/2005 by a BabyCenter Member
I really understand you, I lost my baby in May when I was about 5months along. October was the time I should be on leave with my new baby. I have a friend that just came back from having her baby and another co-worker that is going to have her 2nd baby soon. I know that it is hard but, try to hang in there like I am trying to do.posted 11/02/2005 by a BabyCenter Member
Hi Kate, I know how you feel. My husband and I have been married for 11 years and TTC with help for alittle over a year. Both of our families knew we were TTC and my new sister-in-law and President of the company that I work for, announced her pregnancy. We were the last ones she told because she was afraid of our reaction!! She already has 2 boys and he has 1 girl. They are expecting a girl. Also I have a niece who just had her first baby, and a nephew is just had #2. There are babies all around me. Sometimes I get really sad, because I lost my mom last Oct. and I wanted her to see my child, her grandchild before her time came. I did IUI on Sat. Hopefully it worked out!! Keep your chin up! Everything will work out!posted 11/01/2005 by ttctoolong
My husband and I have been married for 15 yrs and have been trying for the last few yrs. It's very hard for me as all my friends and sisters and sister laws have had children and have been married much less than us. I am very happy for them but its hard. I am always invited to baby showers which is somewhat difficult and I am actually invited to another one next month. I am trying to stay positive that one day I will be a mother but it's so difficult. I know i have to be patient and stop stressing about it. Just hang in there like me and good luck!posted 10/31/2005 by a BabyCenter Member
hi love it took us 3 years to get our baby ! and shortly before we finally managed it my coworker got pregnant by accident I was happy for her but also so jellouse and upset ! it hurt to be in the same room as her listening to her worry about how she was going to cope and how happy she was became a form of mental tourcher but I got through it and so will you please try to stay posotive talk to some one who knows how you feal and if necesary have a good cry on there shoulderposted 10/21/2005 by dreamyclaire
Kate-I understand where you are coming from. My close friend and I discussed family planning-and she said they probably wouldn't be ready for a year. So I told her we were in the process of quitting the pill. We discussed timing and ovulation kits-and I even told her about the book Taking Charge of your Fertility and charting. 5 months later she was preggers and I wasn't. I was/am happy for her, and now that her precious baby boy has arrived I am still happy for her. But the journey hasn't been easy. Two things aided me 1. I told her I was happy for her, but that I was sad for myself. That when it was my turn I wanted to be able to complain, celebrate and share my experience-so I would like to hear about hers in small doses. 2. She was then more sensitive to me, and openly asked if she was being insensitive, at times.(often she was more sensitive than I needed-and we would laugh about it.) My husband and I have now been trying for 2.5 years. I have my first IVF scheduled for Nov. '05 (I am only 29). A plan helps me get through the rough spots. I still graciously try to avoid pregnant ladies when I am not up to it. Openness is good to those you trust.posted 10/20/2005 by a BabyCenter Member
On August 15 i had my last period and now it is October and i thought for sure i was pregnant until October 15 two month to be exact my period came all i can do was cry and ask why what is happening with my body. Is this normal was i ever pregnant and then lost the baby. I had intercourse on the October 15 and shortly after i saw a little blood and a few minutes later my period came on Monday night after my shower went to bed and Tuesday morning all day nothing then in the evening it came back down once more just a little bit. Today is Tuesday and nothing in on the pad so far it is now 1.26pm what to do what to think.

Detroit Puts Clamps On Women's Basketball, 61-47
Jan. 31, 2004
Chicago, Ill. - Detroit held the University of Illinois at Chicago women's basketball team to 10 points in the first half, cruising to the 61-47 Horizon League victory at the UIC Pavilion on Saturday afternoon.
Detroit guard Lindsey Pasquinzo led three-different Titans in double-digits with 13 points, followed by Caitie Goddard (12 points) and Sara Crum (11 points).
With the victory, Detroit improves to 10-9 overall and 7-2 in Horizon League action, while the Flames fall to 8-12 on the campaign and 3-7 in conference play.
Freshman guard Krystal Hugelier tallied all 14 of her points, including three treys, in the second-half to lead the UIC attack, while teammate Amber Washington added a career-high 12 points for the Flames.
The Flames will be back in action on Wednesday evening, as they will host cross-town rival, Loyola, at 7:00 p.m. in the UIC Pavilion.

Thursday News Conference Video
IOWA CITY, Iowa -- University of Iowa head coach Fran McCaffery isn't focusing on the rivalry, but instead he is stressing opportunity when the Hawkeyes take the court Friday in the Iowa Corn Cy-Hawk Series match-up against Iowa State.
"I really don't look too much at the rivalry aspect," said McCaffery on Thursday at his news conference in the Media Room inside Carver-Hawkeye Arena. "I look at it as a tremendous opportunity to play a really good team. It's a tremendous challenge, especially for our young players, and it will be a great barometer."
The Cyclones enter the game with a 6-2 overall record; Iowa is 7-2, which includes a 6-0 mark inside Carver-Hawkeye Arena. Iowa State has won the last three meetings in the series, but the two teams have split the last 16 meetings.
"Iowa State is a team that has a lot of weapons," said McCaffery. "It's rare when you find a team with this kind of athletic power that shoots it that well. You have a team that's leading the country in rebounding and averaging 10 3s a game."
"It's a big thing for the state. There is going to be a lot of hype and anticipation because both teams are on the rise. You can ask any former Iowa player, and they remember their record against Iowa State."
UI freshman Adam Woodbury
The Cyclones average 45.6 rebounds per game and are +11.6 in rebounding margin in eight games. Iowa State averages 82.5 points and makes 9.5 long balls per game. Utah transfer Will Clyburn is leading a group of three players in double figures, averaging 16.1 points and 8.4 rebounds. Seven Iowa State players average at least seven points, including senior guard Korie Lucious, a transfer from Michigan State.
"When you think about your ability to defend a team with that many weapons, it's very challenging," said McCaffery.
McCaffery says the Iowa defense has made improvement from last season to 2012-13, but there is room to grow.
"I feel a lot better about it than last year," he said. "I feel like we've had great improvement in that area. I don't know if `pleased' is the right word... we still have a long way to go. This game, they'll challenge our defense big-time because of how they stretch the floor and the different weapons they have."
With five freshmen on the roster, junior Roy Devyn Marble is trying to keep the newcomers grounded and prepare them for what's they'll encounter.
"You don't want to make it too much bigger than what it already is," said Marble, Iowa's leading scorer at 14.4 points per game. "You still want to prepare and do the normal things you do before the game... keep it as normal as possible. It will have energy at the beginning from the fans and each other."
Growing up a lifelong Hawkeye fan, freshman Adam Woodbury has watched a lot of memorable moments in the series, now he's looking forward to being a part of his first Iowa-Iowa State showdown.
"It's a big thing for the state," said Woodbury. "There is going to be a lot of hype and anticipation because both teams are on the rise. You can ask any former Iowa player, and they remember their record against Iowa State."
Approximately 1,000 tickets still remain for Friday's game. Fans are encouraged to purchase their tickets online at hawkeyesports.com and select the print tickets at home option to avoid long lines at the UI Ticket Office window.
The game will be televised on the BTN beginning at 7:06 p.m. (CT) with Wayne Larrivee and Dan Bonner calling the action.

Using x2go on different clients
Rui Cruz <mail@...>
Hi there, Us anyone experience problems with different Ubuntu and Windows 7 environments on client side? I notice two differences when running x2go from Ubuntu and Windows 7: - if you run from the first time after the reboot using from Windows 7 when running the client on Ubuntu your screen will be fullscreen and you can't use the numbers on the numpad keyboard. - if you run from the first time after the reboot from Ubuntu, you cannot use numpad on Windows (and the <at> sign) So, if you start your remote computer with one of them, you better not try to use another because some funtions will break. Does anyone know about this problem or something similar? Also, don't know if this helps, but I'm running a Custom desktop with command 'gnome-session --session=gnome-classic' to avoid using Unity on server side. -- -- Rui Cruz | Webmaster | 968271502 www.ruicruz.pt

The fifth-ranked Wildcats (18-5) won the first game of their three-game pool play schedule behind seven hits. NC State drops to 18-10 on the year and 0-2 in pool play.
Taryne Mowatt (12-5) struck out 11 Wolfpack hitters in her fourth shutout of the season. At the plate, she and Callista Balko were responsible for all of
Mowatt took a no-hitter into the fourth inning, which is when the Wolfpack used a single and a pair of walks to load the bases. However, Mowatt thwarted the rally by inducing Megan Dalthorp into grounding to short.
Mowatt allowed a leadoff double to Laura Klem to start the fourth inning, but a sacrifice bunt sandwiched between a pair of strikeouts left the Wildcats unscathed and the shutout intact.
Adrienne Acton led off the bottom of the fifth with an infield single, promoting her hit streak to a career-long eight games. Caitlin Lowe then followed suit with an infield single of her own, giving UA two runners on with nobody out. After Chelsie Mesa grounded into a fielder's choice, Kristie Fox succumbed to a full-count strikeout, leaving the rally in Leles' hands.
In the sixth, Balko handed
Game Notes:
- Chelsie Mesa's first-inning double extended her hitting streak to 20 games. This is the longest
- Adrienne Acton's leadoff single in the fifth inning extended her hitting streak to a career-long eight games. She is hitting .435 (10-for-23) over that timeframe.
- The win is Arizona head coach Mike Candrea's 1,099th career victory.

I was wondering, If you eat slower do you get full up quicker?
Like, if there were 2 full plates of food and 2 people. Both were as hungry as the other but one eats slow and the other fast. Would the slow one decide he's full up because he has eaten enough?
Weird Question but i wanted to know what others thought....

December 15, 2011
Many alumni of the Arthur A. Dugoni School of Dentistry go into private practice or specialties. But some of them manage to make time for outside endeavors as well. Such is the case of one dental school alumnus, Nick Morton '08, who recently launched an online store selling ugly holiday sweaters.
Morton's primary job is as an endodontist at an east Bay Area practice, EndoCareGroup. He also teaches part time at the Dugoni School of Dentistry on Thursday evenings. But in March 2011, Morton and his friend Evan Mendelsohn came up with a decidedly non-dental idea: a website to sell ugly holiday sweaters. They put in long hours to launch www.tipsyelves.com in time for the 2011 holiday season. Tipsy Elves sells ugly holiday sweaters and accessories, both of which have been in high demand as "ugly sweater parties" have seen an increase in popularity.
"Ugly Christmas sweater parties are a big trend these days, and there wasn't a place to buy brand new ones, so we started Tipsy Elves," said Morton. "We designed, manufactured and sold 12 styles of what we think are hilarious and trendy sweaters as well as 12 accessories."
Morton and Mendelsohn have also made a point to donate some of the funds generated by Tipsy Elves to worthy causes. Part of each sale goes to help clothe needy children. On Dec. 3, Tipsy Elves partnered with Children of Shelters, a San Francisco nonprofit organization that provides support and education for children living in or being served by the homeless shelter system. Tipsy Elves attended a Christmas party hosted by the organization and donated hundreds of sweaters to families and children at the event.
The sweaters sold on Tipsy Elves have been featured on ABC's show Wipeout, The Rosie O'Donnell Show and the 49ers' holiday card and video. On Dec. 14 the sweaters and website were featured on NBC's The Today Show segment about ugly holiday sweaters.
"Amazingly the website took off," added Morton. "We were selling 300-400 sweaters a day until we sold out."

Training Season is Over
Training for the 2009 season is just about done. Next week I will be taking a group of five out on lower Yellowjacket Trail in the Frank Church Wilderness. We will probably be clearing downed trees and rock/mud slides since the area burnt recently. It will be a nice opportunity to get away from the office for more than a couple days. I will be sure to post some pictures of some huge ponderosa pines we will inevitably clear with crosscuts!

Nicki's Circle
Nicki Stoner at QuaLife
Garden, 2003
Nicki Stoner, a devoted wife, mother and successful professional was diagnosed with ovarian cancer in January, 2002. Over the next several years she was actively involved in the ovarian cancer support group that met at QuaLife Wellness Community in Denver. Nicki found the group to be of great value and was committed to its continuation and success. After Nicki passed away, her husband Jim Griesemer and daughter Katie Fox established an endowment in her honor to help fund the group's operation. When QuaLife closed, the endowment was transferred to the newly-formed COCA, and the support group was named Nicki's Circle. Under the direction of COCA, Nicki's Circle has significantly expanded its outreach and the number of women it serves.
Since 2005, "Nicki's Circle" Ovarian Cancer Support Groups have served women monthly around the Denver metro area and by phone statewide. The groups are open to women with all gyn cancers and their caregivers. At meetings, information is exchanged about current medical research and how women can effectively advocate for obtaining the best health care possible. There is also the time and space to share the emotional ups and downs of a cancer diagnosis.
In addition,we have Nicki's Circle Network, a social media site where you can keep in touch with other survivors and caregivers from Nicki's Circle.

DayZ standalone: first footage released in new devblog
DayZ's standalone release is really happening, you guys, as this video of it in action confirms.
This is the first video developer diary Bohemia Interactive has released, and as project lead Dean "Rocket" Hall and production assistant Matt Lightfoot stress, it's very much a work in progress.
Nevertheless, it's already looking pretty good, and in the video you'll get to see new maps; the swamp biome; an expanded military base; a new island; the clothing system; and the new loot spawn system.
DayZ's standalone's PC release has not been dated, but a closed beta is on the way.
Thanks, Dan.

NATAL, Brazil — Clint Dempsey scored in the first minute and rookie substitute John Brooks scored the game-winner late as the U.S. defeated Ghana 2-1 Monday in the World Cup opener for both.
The victory gave the Americans some revenge against the tiny West African county that knocked them out of the last two World Cups and put the U.S. and Germany on top of Group G, with Ghana and Portugal at the bottom.
Dempsey's goal came on a low shot just a half-minute into the match. Ghana dominated much of the rest of the game, and Andre Ayew leveled in the 82nd minute.
Just four minutes later, Brooks, a 21-year-old defender who came on at halftime because Matt Besler was injured, scored off a corner from Graham Zusi. It was the first time an American sub scored in the World Cup.
"I said it to the bench minutes before, 'We're going to get some chances still,'" U.S. coach Jurgen Klinsmann said. "So we are still in the game after the equalizer, we just need to kind of push and push and grind it out. That's what they did. Here comes a set piece we trained over and over and over that stuff. And he puts it in, so well deserved."
Dempsey's goal made him the first U.S. player to score in three World Cups and was the fastest goal scored by an American in the history of the event.
DaMarcus Beasley, who became the first American to play in four World Cups, started the buildup to Dempsey's goal with a pass to Jermaine Jones, who fed it to Dempsey inside the penalty area.
With a nifty move to split defenders, Dempsey sent the left-footed shot past goalkeeper Adam Kwarasey, where the ball bounced off the post and in.
Already ahead after the game had barely started, the Americans looked well on their way to erasing eight years of frustration caused by Ghana.
The Black Stars regrouped at halftime, and the U.S. looked punchless on the attack after losing striker Jozy Altidore to an apparent hamstring injury in the 21st minute.
Ghana applied relentless pressure on U.S. goalkeeper Tim Howard and finally drew even when captain Asamoah Gyan flicked a backheel pass to Ayew, who used the outside of his left foot for a powerful shot.
Ghana was still pressing when Brooks, 6-foot-3, soared over defenders to get his head on the ball. Brooks, who plays for Hertha Berlin in the Bundesliga, appeared shocked to have scored, raising his hands to his head before falling to the ground to be mobbed by his teammates.
"What I can say is it was a very tough game," Ghana coach Kwesi Appiah said. "Playing at this level any little mistake can cost you dearly. We didn't deserve to get the first goal against us."

As Frequent Travelers Go, Viruses Are...
The Epigenetics Field Is Granular and...
Opioid Epidemic Is Not the Only...
Focused Genetic Analyses Seek To Improve...
Using C. elegans as a model researchers identified LIN-42, a gene that is found in animals across the evolutionary tree, as a potent regulator of numerous developmental processes. [C. Hammell, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory]
Although the how of a gene's function is important, the when, too, is crucial. The ebb and flow of gene expression can influence a cell's fate during development, the maturation of entire organisms, and even the evolution of species—helping to explain how species with very similar gene content can differ so dramatically.
Nature's developmental clockwork, however, is exceedingly complex. It depends on the activation or repression of a specific and unique complement of genes. And these genes, in turn, are regulated by microRNA molecules. And, finally, the microRNAs are also subject to regulation. Thus, to understand nature's clockwork, one must study the regulators of the regulators of the regulators.
Little is known of the ultimate regulators—the elements that determine the activities of microRNAs. These elements, however, are presumably as subtle as they are powerful—subtle because microRNAs defined temporal gene expression and cell lineage patterns in a dosage-dependent manner; powerful because a single microRNA gene can control hundreds of other genes at once. And, as always, timing is everything: If a microRNA turns off genes too early or too late, the organism that depends on them will likely suffer severe developmental defects.
To undertake a search for genes that control developmental timing through microRNAs, a team of researchers at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory relied on a tried-and-true model of animal development, Caenorhabditis elegans. These worms have a fixed number of cells, and each cell division is precisely timed. "It is the perfect model for our work," said team leader Christopher Hammell, Ph.D. "It enables us to understand exactly how a mutation affects development, whether maturation is precocious or delayed, by directly observing defects in the timing of gene expression."
The researchers described their work in an article entitled, "LIN-42, the Caenorhabditis elegans PERIOD homolog, Negatively Regulates MicroRNA Transcription," which appeared July 17 in PLoS Genetics.
"With the goal of unveiling factors that regulate the expression of microRNAs that control developmental timing, we identified LIN-42, the C. elegans homolog of the human and Drosophila period gene implicated in circadian gene regulation, as a negative regulator of microRNA expression," the authors wrote. "By analyzing the transcriptional expression patterns of representative microRNAs, we found that the transcription of many microRNAs is normally highly dynamic and coupled aspects of post-embryonic growth and behavior."
"LIN-42 shares a significant amount of similarity to the genes that control circadian rhythms in organisms such as mice and humans," explained Roberto Perales, Ph.D., one of the lead authors of the study. "These are genes that control the timing of cellular processes on a daily basis for you and me. In the worm, these same genes and mechanisms control development, growth, and behavior. This system will provide us with leverage to understand how all of these things are coordinated."
In short, the researchers found that LIN-42 controls the repression of numerous genes in addition to microRNAs. They also discovered that levels of the protein encoded by LIN-42 tend to oscillate over the course of development and form a part of a developmental clock.
"LIN-42 provides the organism with a kind of cadence or temporal memory, so that it can remember that it has completed one developmental step before it moves on to the next," emphasized Dr. Hammell. "This way, LIN-42 coordinates optimal levels of the genes required throughout development."

Last night was opening night of Heartbreak House (playing through April 29th) at the Denver Center for the Performing Arts' Space Theatre. Written by George Bernard Shaw in 1919, the play is not only entertaining but will set the stage for some deep thought and discussion within families homeschooling older teens.
The play will transport your teens back to the English countryside as World War I looms on the horizon and Shaw's pampered and privileged characters enjoy frivolous pursuits as war (and disaster) draws near.
After enjoying the play, your family will be ready for some serious thought and discussion. To help guide you in the discussion, below are several post performance questions to get the conversation rolling:
1. How does Shaw comment on the theme of money and morals? How were some of the characters in the play struggling with the compromise between the two?
2. How would you describe the familial relationships between the characters in the play? What do you believe is behind these relationship issues?
3. Why does Ellie want to marry Mr. Mangan? Thinking about the setting of the play, what are some of the societal issues that may have led to her reasoning? How is marriage like or unlike a business?
4. Why do the characters seem oblivious to the coming war? How do their reactions to the tragedy at the end of the play strengthen your analysis of the characters?
The production is recommended for ages 15 and up. Tickets start at $35 and student rush $10 tickets are available one hour prior to curtain with a valid student ID subject to availability.
For more information or to purchase tickets, go to: denvercenter.org or call 303.893.4100.

The Silver Cockatiel
The Silver mutation is a diluted version of the normal grey. The Silver has red eyes, a pink beak, and pink feet. Male Silver cockatiels often have a very deep yellow face and bright orange cheekpatches at maturity. Female Silver cockatiels will retain their immature coloration and the barring of the underside of the tail.

Does anyone recognize, realize and acknowledge the pure fact that from 1946, the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA) had been experimenting with rocket planes such as the supersonic Bell X-1. In the early 1950s, there was challenge to launch an artificial satellite for the International Geophysical Year (1957–58). An effort for this was the American Project Vanguard. After the Soviet launch of the world's first artificial satellite (Sputnik 1) on October 4, 1957, the attention of the United States turned toward its own fledgling space efforts.
Further (see NASA ( From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia), the U.S. Congress, alarmed by the perceived threat to national security and technological leadership (known as the "Sputnik crisis"), urged immediate and swift action; President Dwight D. Eisenhower and his advisers counseled more deliberate measures. This led to an agreement that a new federal agency mainly based on NACA was needed to conduct all non-military activity in space. The Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA) was created in February 1958 to develop space technology for military application.
On July 29, 1958, Eisenhower signed the National Aeronautics and Space Act, establishing NASA. When it began operations on October 1, 1958, NASA absorbed the 46-year-old NACA intact. So much has happened and even more has stop happening as far as to NASA today being financially capable to participate in the ongoing quest into the universe(s) that superlative intelligence overwhelming suggest with track records as evidence. The American genius of space and space exploration spored through NASA is still alive. The following information confirms the work that continues to prevail through . . . "Education, the torch (when continually passed on) that lights, enlightens and without a doubt is brightening the future". NASA is still alive and well with our teachers and children and no doubt will rise up again by the will of the people and those that foresee the importance of now and the future in space exploration.
Twenty-two fifth grade students from Poinciana Elementary STEM Magnet School are putting the final touches on some physically small experiments based on their own big questions. Mrs. Katey Appelbaum's class wrote six proposals for experiments to NASA's "Cubes in Space" program this spring, and all six were accepted to be flown into space. One significant obstacle – the experiments had to fit into plastic cubes only 4cm X 4cm X 4cm in size.
The experiments are scheduled to liftoff from NASA's Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia early in the morning of June 24th. The flight will be a relatively short, suborbital route up to 250KM (about 150 miles) but will expose the students' experiments to the vacuum and temperatures of space outside of the Earth's atmosphere. Without the atmosphere's protections, the experiments will be exposed to increased solar radiation and cosmic rays. The questions students are attempting to answer all focus on how exposure to this environment will affect everyday things. They are sending up seeds, compasses, algae, popcorn, and even a tiny Arduino computer.
Upon their return to Earth, the experiments will be shipped back to Poinciana for analysis. A group of 5th graders will compare the samples sent into space with identical samples left behind on Earth. They will plant the seeds, pop the popcorn, inspect the algae, and test the compasses and computers and check to see if there are any differences between the items that went to space and those that stayed behind. The results will be published online for the current 5th graders to check out next school year.
Kris Swanson, Poinciana Planetarium Resource Teacher, helped Mrs. Appelbaum's students write the proposals, and is coordinating the design and construction of the experiments to NASA's specifications. According to Mr. Swanson, "This is the best way to engage kids in STEM education. Instead of assigning textbooks and worksheets to them, challenge students to ask and research their own questions and then to design a way to answer them. All Mrs. Applebaum and I did was giving them an opportunity to investigate something interesting and support them when needed. They drove their own learning."
Cubes in Space is a no-cost global design competition for students to develop STEM-based experiments for launch into space. The Cubes in Space program is a partnership between Rubik Learning Initiative, idoodlesoftware Inc., the Colorado Space Grant's RockSat-C program and supported by the Sounding Rocket Program Office at NASA's Wallops Flight Facility.
Goals of Cubes in Space: We believe the integration of language and arts into traditional STEM education strategies is critical for a well-rounded education. Therefore our program will be STEAM based - reflecting the interconnections between science, technology, engineering, the arts, and mathematics.

Just a comment on a common misconception. Porting does not reduce recoil by anything considered measurable to the shooter. It can give the perception that it does because it reduces muzzle flip. Basic physics considered; Newton's law of motion. There is no way around it; whenever a first body exerts a force on a second body, the second body exerts a equal force on the first body ("To every action there is always an equal and opposite reaction: or the forces of two bodies on each other are always equal and are directed in opposite directions."). This happens far in advance of when the gases reach the porting.
Consider the above statement in read. In fact, there is an argument that if you remove enough weight from the gun by removing metal to drill holes, you've probably negated any calculable benefit of porting on recoil reduction.
Porting is snake oil for recoil reduction. Porting may be beneficial in controlling muzzle flip.
I voted no. If you have ever seen a low-light shot of a revolver at the point of ignition, you see that gases (and unburned powder) already escape from the sides at the cylinder gap (except on a Nagant 1895 perhaps). For the purposes that a J-frame was designed for, it is not needed and probably even undesirable. Personally, in my eyes it reduces the value of the revolver; if I find one for sale at a good price that has porting, I keep walking. When I shoot a firearm, I want as much of anything coming out of it (noise, lead, flame, unburned powder, noise, etc.) going away from me.

I would say no becasue I don't think you gain enought to offset what you risk, however, I did buy a ported barrel for my Kahr K9 and my experience suprised me. The fireball didn't happen. In fact I've heard a handful of times from guys who had ported guns tha there's didn't fire ball any worse than before. I think it has to do with the design of the port. On the Kahr it's a single half moon slit angled slightly up and the front.
So, no fireball; at least none more than you'd get normally. To me ammo selection has more to do with the size of a fire ball in a short gun or J frame than the ports do.
help with recoil and muzzle flip. As you likely know the Kahr K9 is already a soft shooter. But WOW did the ported barrel make a difference. It significantly reduced recoil but what I really liked was how it almost completely eliminates muzzle flip.
Hot gases and particles. I did an experiement on this. I used clothspins to pin up a strip of toilet paper between two branches. I held the gun up right underneath it and fired. After each shot I brought the gun further to there rear so the muzzle got closer and closer to the paper. In theory this brought it more into a close to body position. The gas out of the port on the Kahr didn't touch the paper until it the port was actually a 1/4" behind the paper and the gun had to be close to the paper. If the gun was down an inch from the paper I had to have the barrl "back" almost an inch with the muzzle well behind the paper before the gas from the port hit the paper.
I realize this is a very crude test but what I learned is that the half moon port and it's location on the Kahr barrel makes a lot of difference. If the gun is that close to your body then you're at risk from the bullet, not just the gas.
I would guess (but don't know) that any porting that goes straight up in a cone could be worse as the cone could expand actaully reward towards the shooter.
Best thing about the Kahr Ported barrel? It's out in front of the slide and it's a drop in part so you can swap/sell the barrel if you don't like it.
I love how it shoots and feel this design absolutely minimizes flash and exposure to the gas. PS it actually sounded quieter than I expected. I expected it to be louder.
I wouldn't get a snubbie done with holes in the top but if you got slits near the front of the barrel that vented up and to the front that might not be too bad but despite all my experiements, it's simply not necessary on a defensive gun.
At the end of the day I like how my Kahr looks and shoots and I think the risk is very minimal but it was still unnecessary.
No for me.
The only experience i have is with a .44magnum ported revolver.
The porting made a pussycat out of the pistol but shooting it towards dark reminded me of the exhaust from an NHRA funny car during a nightime race.
I'm another one in the "NO" camp! Just don't see the need for it on a defensive weapon. Way too many negatives and no positives, IMHO.

From HardKnock.TV:
Part 3 of our exclusive in-depth interview with Yelawolf, where he talks to Nick Huff Barili about growing up an Ouktast fan and what it was like to collaborate with Big Boi on a cut produced by Andre 3000 (Aint No DJ Off Big Boi's Sir Lucious Left Foot). For those that might not know Kawan "KP" Prather, whom Yelawolf is signed to at Ghet-O-Vision was also the A&R for Outkast, TLC and helped TI get signed, among other things. After a performance clip from SXSW of Love is Not Enough and I Just Want to Party Yelawolf talks about the meaning of behind the title for his new album called Radioactive and what people can expect from his debut album. Catfish Billy ends the interview by talking about working with Eminem and developing a chemistry with Shady label mates Slaughterhouse. For what Yelawolf mentions sounds like Marshal is up on his hip hop and might me listening to a lot of MC's tracks without them knowing! Make sure to subscribe to www.youtube.com/hardknocktv to get our latest videos and to check out part 1 and 2 of our interview with Yelawolf.
What's with this kid talking about everything. If he needs to spill to someone he should see a psychologist, psychiatrist or a counselor.
Yeah he just let it all out, and this is part 3 of the interview. Dude must have been sitting down a long time with Yela. Had some nice insight though. I think his album is gonna surprise some people.

Desision Suport systems DSS help need it
View Single Post
OK, well your best bet is to search for the terms you're interested in, not just post a request for info then sit back. Also check your spelling; if you get no hits then that could be why. Desision and suport are not correct; try decision and support instead. It's unfortunate that the main language of the internet is English, but it has to be something, and non-English speakers just have to get used to it.
Contrary to your teacher's implications, forums are *not* full of people just sitting around waiting to answer your questions in painstaking detail. We will help, but not do your work for you, and we *can* tell the difference. This site is called go4 *expert*, remember, so that means we're expert at a number of things.
The best place to search is Google. Did you try? I've just tried it and there were several hits that looked appropriate. Google also has a good guess at fixing spelling mistakes and "desision suport systems" gives a list of hits titled "Showing results for decision support systems".
The Wikipedia article will most likely tell you everything you need to know, and more, about DSS, and most Wiki articles link to lots of other relevant places.
This is an excellent reference on how to ask questions intelligently:
Read this *thoroughly*, and act on it, and you will get good answers to your questions.

Night after night for 30 years, the New Zealand father of two worked on a secret machine in his garage.
(CNN) - Inventor Glenn Martin admits he appears crazy, "But it's the crazy people who change the world."
"Some people work on old cars, some do quilting, some collect stamps, I build jetpacks."
Night after night for 30 years, the New Zealand father of two worked on a secret machine in his garage.
Wife Vanessa was one of the few people who knew about the space-age contraption quietly taking shape at their home in Christchurch. Luckily for Martin she was not only "as crazy as him," but petite enough to be its first test pilot.
Twelve prototypes and $17 million later, and what started as a young university student's hobby could soon be on the market, the first flying machine of its kind ever to be commercially sold.
Behold the "Martin Jetpack."
"I saw 'Lost in Space,' 'Thunderbirds,' and the Apollo program when I was young. When Neil Armstrong stepped onto the moon, I knew that anything was possible. Somehow we lost that spirit."

Saturday will mark the seventh time these two Kansas institutions have met on the gridiron and Baker is 2-2-2 all-time against the Spires.
The Wildcats are coming off of a dramatic, 25-24, win over No. 18 ranked Ottawa last Saturday night at Liston Stadium.
The Baker offense racked up 504 yards of offense, with 327 yards through the air from Jake Morse and 177 on the ground with a combination of Dillon Baxter, Camren
Torneden and a few other 'Cats carrying the load.
For his effort last weekend, Baxter was named the HAAC Offensive Player of the Week. The San Diego, Calif., native ran for 127 yards on just 16 carries and caught the game-winning reception from 15 yards out with only 48 seconds left on the clock to lead BU to a victory.
Defensively, junior defensive end Andre Jolly picked where he left off in 2012 with seven tackles to lead Baker and had a team-high four tackles for loss with two sacks. The Gardner, Kan., native was a 2012 AFCA-NAIA All-American and is the career sacks leader at Baker with now 24.5 sacks.
The University of St. Mary won its season opener over Oklahoma Baptist, 36-30, last weekend on the road and is led by former Baker assistant coach Lance Hinson. Hinson coached the tight ends, quarterbacks and receivers at Baker from 1997-2001.
The Spires gained 381 yards of offense and gave up 318 to the Bison on Saturday. They ran for 119 and threw for 262. Quarterback Josh Ervin was 19-of-33 with three touchdowns and two interceptions.
Defensively, USM forced a fumble and had two interceptions and Eli Amador led the USM defense with 11 tackles and forced the one fumble.
All the action will be called live by the Voice of the Wildcats Tom Hedrick, on the radio at KNBU 89.7 FM and online at www.bakerwildcats.com. Live stats and live video will also be available.

Makepung lampit or buffalo plowing race is a unique tradition in Jembrana. This ancient art once disappeared, but lately it has been revived by the villagers of Peh, Kaliakah, Negara subdistrict. Now, it becomes a tourist attraction in the area of West Bali.This activity serves as a tryout before appearing in the makepung or buffalo race in the circuit. This unique attraction takes place in the paddy field before the planting season. "This buffalo race at wetland is the forerunner of buffalo race in the circuit widely known today held on sandy land or dry land," said Ketut Mangku Lega, 70, one of the elders at Peh village, Kaliakah.
Buffalo plowing race, he said, would be more difficult because of the terrain was in the water and mud. Energy of the buffaloes would be drained when driven. This kind of race started to develop around the year 1920-1925, when local farmers in the subak area would begin to grow rice. This attraction utilizes a number of rice field plots, a pair of water buffalo and a jockey. Afterward, they compete against the other participants with track length of 200-300 meters. A pair of buffalo is tied together with plow which has been modified to be thinner and sloping.
Meanwhile, the jockey is not absolutely required to put on a complete clothing as in the conventional buffalo races. Sometimes the jockeys only come with bare chest and put on distinctive headdress of buffalo race. Then, the buffaloes getting involved use rumbing or head ornament and flag accessories. According to Mangku Ketut Lega, the buffalo plowing race could only be held in the paddy field whose soil texture was not too deep, so the buffaloes could be freely driven and did not fall into the mud. And such soil texture could only be found around Peh, Kaliakah and it enabled the implementation of buffalo race.
This activity was routinely held by farmers and buffalo owners around Peh and Manistutu as a tryout before put into competition. This race accentuated the beauty of buffalo movement and its jockey. A pair of buffalo should be running straight and there was a creative style of buffalo head movement and the jockey when racing. I Ketut Master, one of the initiators, said that such ancient attraction drew the attention of foreign travelers. The condition boosted the morale of people at Manistutu and Peh to develop such a unique agrarian art of Jembrana society. They combined the buffalo plowing race attraction with a number of other activities such as Jegog art performance and trail motor touring.
By teaming up with hotels and travel agencies, the community chiefly the racing groups were empowered with this buffalo plowing race. "So far, we have not had a fixed agenda such as the buffalo race held in the circuit. However, when receiving order from hotel or travel agency we can hold it twice a week," said Master. (BTN/015)
