There are many names for the condition in which a race car turns too little or too much. So let's start with some definitions.
"Push," or "understeer," means the car doesn't want to follow its steered direction. Therefore, it is said to be pushing away from the steered direction. The opposite of a push is when the car's front tires stick to the track and go in the steered direction.
"Oversteer" is another name for "loose." Loose is the term for the rear end wanting to pull around and turn the car sideways in a corner. The opposite of loose is "tight." Tight refers to having the rear of the race car sticking too tightly to the tracks made by the front.
PushFirst, let's tackle push. When a race car enters a corner, the steering wheel is turned in the direction the driver wants to go. If the traction available is sufficient, the front end is said to stick. Thus, the front end of the car follows the steered direction.
When the front tires do not have enough traction to overcome the straight-line inertia of the car, they skid across the track. The tires are pointing into the turn but the car is in less of a turn. Here the car may turn somewhat but not enough to negotiate the turn quickly.
A push on corner entry is much the same as applying the brakes-the tires are sliding. The immediate cure for this is to slow the car until traction overcomes inertia. Now the car will follow the steered direction, but speed has been lost.
The simple cure for a push is to add weight to the right front, creating more traction. There are many things that contribute to front traction: springs, shocks, caster, camber, to name a few. However, given that the rest of the suspension is somewhat close to correct, weight must be added to the right front.
I am not suggesting 11/42-inch thick lead fenders. The weight must be shifted from one corner to another. To do this, the right front will be raised in comparison to the left. If the car has weight jacks, then simply screw down on the jack. Keep doing so until the push goes away. Without weight jacks, use a smaller left front tire or larger right front. Keep in mind, there can be too much of a good thing. Every adjustment on a race car is a compromise.
I have often seen a push misdiagnosed. In a severe case, the car pushes, slows down and grabs a handful of traction. When power is applied, the rear spins around and the driver is looking at where he has been. Often the driver says the car is loose.
Corner problems must be solved in the order in which they are received. In other words, a problem on corner exit cannot be solved until any problem on corner entry is corrected. In the preceding example, the problem was not the car wanting to spin out. Instead it was the push that led to spin out.
Push can also be a problem on corner exit. Here, with power on, the car drives outward toward the wall. Right-front weight will have little effect in this case. In this scenario, the push is caused by the rear of the car. The rear, with power, has more traction than the front, so the rear wheels direct the car. When the right-rear tire is larger than the left, it is called "stagger." Add stagger, i.e. a smaller left rear, when the rear drives the car toward the wall on corner exit.
This difference creates a tendency for the rear to turn. The classic example is the foam coffee cup. It has a larger diameter on one end and a smaller on the other. Laid on its side and given a shove, it will roll in a circle. This is how rear tire stagger works.
Loose, TightSimply stated, loose is the condition where the rear wants to run outside the tracks of the front. In a severe loose condition, the car will spin out easily. Conversely, a small amount of loose is often beneficial to speed. This allows a driver to balance power and traction with his throttle foot. This is especially true on dirt.

Asphalt Roofing
There are several
roofing choices for homeowners and contractors, including shake,
composition, tile, metal, and asphalt. Asphalt is one of the easiest
and least expensive materials to install; but, is it becoming outdated,
or is it still a reliable, tried and true standby? Asphalt roofing can
either be purchased in the liquid variety or in the more commonly used
form of asphalt shingles.
Liquid asphalt
roofing, also called the hot mop method, is installed by spreading hot,
melted asphalt over the roof, and then spreading a layer of decorative
rocks in the hot asphalt. This method is normally applied to
flatter roofs. Although an inexpensive method, it isn't necessarily the
most attractive, thus reducing its widespread use. Additionally, during
application, it releases high amounts of chemical pollutants. Not only
is it bad for the environment, but it can be a health risk to the
installers as well.
Asphalt shingles currently dominate the roofing market with approximately 75% of homes having them on their roofs.
They consist of fiberglass mats coated with asphalt, and have a life of
20-30 years. Their pros include easy maintenance, lower fire danger,
and some possibility of being recycled into paving products. Their cons
include the fact that a large portion of them are still dumped into
landfills every year and can be difficult to dispose of, and a high
amount of energy is required to produce them. They also have a lower
lifespan than other roofing products, and their repeated replacement
make them a poor environmental choice.
Although asphalt shingles are still in widespread use, they are falling behind the eco-friendly curve.
Other products such as metal roofing, recycled shingles, and slate all
have longer life expectancy, require less energy to produce, and are
more recyclable. However, you can also say they are a tried-and-true
choice as well. Consumers are comfortable with choosing them for their
homes, they last longer than most people plan to live in the house, and
they are clean and attractive in appearance.
Decide which roofing is right for you and request free, no-obligation estimates from a pre-certified roofing contractor in your area.
From the many roofing materials out there, asphalt has been considered the most popular choice among homeowners for the past 150 years. What's the reason for its popularity? Asphalt is inexpensive, easy to come by, and relatively durable as well. Here is some more information.
Asphalt roofing costs, on average, $1-$4 per square foot to install, including the removal of old roofing materials. This would mean that the roof on a ranch-style home 1,700-2,100 square feet in size would cost between $1,700 and $8,400. That cost variability depends on a number factors, like your roof's current condition and the quality of asphalt you buy. Get in touch with a local roofer for more information.
Asphalt is less likely to catch on fire.
Asphalt is one of the least expensive roofing materials on the market.
It is relatively low-maintenance.
Liquid asphalt releases a high amount of chemical pollutants during the application process.
Asphalt tends to have a shorter lifespan than other roofing materials.
Asphalt isn't a very eco-friendly roofing material.
On average, asphalt has a lifespan of 20-30 years with the proper maintenance. That's not as long as other roofing materials, but generally longer than most people plan to stay in their current home.
The minimum maintenance required for asphalt roofing is an annual inspection. Pay careful attention to roof flashings where rust and cracks can occur, as these allow water to seep into the home. If you don't know what to look for, hire a professional to complete the inspection.

Welcome to LA6VJA
Welcome to the homepage of Norwegian Amateur Radio Station LA6VJA. If you are looking for information regarding the JW6VJA activations, please follow the link on the menu above. Anyway, feel free to have a look around.
I live in a country known for its natural beauty, fisheries, oil/gas production and social welfare system. My home QTH is in Moss/JO59HK, which is located in the south-eastern part of the country. The captial city of Oslo is only some 60 km to the north, easily within range by train (when they run).
For those of you who don't know much about Norway, it's a small country in northern Europe, home to some 4.6 million more or less happy Norwegians. Furher information is available in the CIA World Factbook. Although common belief among non-Norwegians is that Norway has winter all year, the summer is often quite nice. Even warm enough for sunflowers to grow. I used to maintain the Win-EQF* logging program for a while, but that project is now QRT.
My QTH is on Jeløy island, WLOTA LH-3174. Within visual sight of ARLHS NOR-302 and ARLHS NOR-389.
The shack currently includes an Icom IC-7600 as well as an IC-7000. A Yaesu FT-950 is located at the mountain QTH at approx. 950m ASL. A Kenwood TS-590S serves as a handy radio when none of the others do. I'm not quite sure when, but it's a nice thing to have around, and it's certainly a nice radio to bring along for the JW operations.
An IC-703 serves the purpose for mobile HF operation. A Yaesu FT-817 also hangs around. An Elecraft KX3 has recently been added to the collection, as I learned to like the radio a lot when I received a tour of the Elecraft facilities in CA, USA, during the spring of 2012. Running Begali, Bencher and Palm Radio paddles and LogiKey keyers.
Kenwood's TS-690SAT and TS-50 as well as Icom's IC-7400, IC-756ProIII and IC-706MKIIG have also secured several QSOs in the log since 1995 but have all been traded in for more capable models. QRV on D-STAR with the Icom IC-E2820/ID-800 and APRS with the Kenwood TM-D710/TH-D72 as well as some homebrew combinations of surplus HTs and tracker units. QRV on VHF/UHF for /P operation with the Yaesu VX-3, VX-6 and VX-7 HTs. The Butternut HF9V serves me well both at my home QTH and at the weekend QTH.
You will find me on CW and digital modes on the HF bands. Sometimes I am also cleaning away the dust from the microphone, but I am more than happy to leave the "hola hooola" SSB operation to south European stations.
Memberships are currently held in the NRRL, the ARRL as well as clubs LA9K, LA9H, LA3F and LA3T.
I am employed as an airline pilot, flying the DHC8-300/-Q400 series for a Norwegian airline. Though I have previously flown the B737-300/-500 for an airline within the SAS Group, flying the DHC8 gives me the opportunity to work closer to my home QTH and spend more time off duty. Unfortunately, the DHC8 aircraft (all series) were not designed for life-long flying careers (noise, vibrations and airconditioning issues - all which could have been resolved, if only deHavilland/Bombardier had cared about the people flying these things and not just the $). I hold an M.Sc. degree in computer science and I run a small consulting business when I am not flying, programming or calling CQ. From time to time I also exercise the privileges as a flight examiner, which I have been granted by the Norwegian CAA.

- cm
Unit of:
- Length / distance
Worldwide use:
- The centimetre is used worldwide as a measurement of length. There are a few exceptions, most notably the United States, which still primarily uses the U.S. Customary (similar to imperial) system.
The centimetre is a unit of length in the metric system, equal to one-hundredth of a metre.
1cm is equivalent to 0.39370 inches.
The metric, or decimal, system of weights and measures was defined and adopted in France in 1795. Using the metre as the basis for length measurements, the system is now used officially across the globe.
Common references:
- A United States nickel (5 cent) coin is approximately 2cm diameter.
- The cornea of a human eye is approximately 1.15cm (11.5mm) diameter.
- One imperial foot is equal to approximately 30.5cm.
Usage context:
The centimetre is used as a day to day unit of measurement in countries that have adopted the International (SI) System of Units, in situations and applications where fractions of a centimetre are generally deemed unimportant to state.
Applications that require greater accuracy, such as engineering and design, will generally state distances using either millimetres or decimal fractions of a metre.
Component units:
- 1 cm = 10mm (millimetres)

Aquas Caliente to Cuzco
Our alarm was set too early and we had plenty of time to enjoy the morning. We sat outside the train station and watched the clouds move across the mountains. I suggested we look for the OREO cookie symbol in the clouds. What the heck if some lady can find the Virgin Mary on a grilled cheese sandwich? No cookie symbols or Virgin Mary's or Bloody Marys either. We did have a hummingbird visitor on the bush in front of us. The flowers were closed up in the rain but no matter. This guy stuck his peak right through the flower into the whatever it is they get the nectar from. Very resourceful. Like laproscopic surgery on a flower. The morning was peaceful and still and we had the bench to ourselves for almost two hours.
The train arrived to take us up river to Ollaytambo. We were in a Vista cruiser with expansive windows and glass ceilings. It is amazingly beautiful countryside.
The train staff put on a traditional Peruvian Dance in garb and then a fashion show of men's and women's Alpaca sweaters and shawls. They pitched them afterwards and they ran about $100 US each.
Our driver picked us up for the 1 hour and 20 minute drive to the Cusco airport. We had no choice as the train all the way back was sold out. It was pleasant and informative.
My only regret was Gringo Bill's and four ugly American 20 somethings staying there. It was so damp that nothing dried and it got tacky the second day. In addition the place was extremely noisy. But the staff was warm and welcoming and did our laundry for 24 Sols (about $8).
These punk "know it alls" were just plain rude, pushy and entitled. When I was a kid, I was taught as a visitor, I am the guest in another country and should act that way. That pushy behavior reflects poorly on us as a nation. I felt bad for the desk clerk that took the unwarranted barrage of BS. They were as bad in the morning as breakfast was a few minutes late. Uncalled for junior and juniorette. You are not the king and queens of the world.
We are in travel mode on the 11th with Cuzco to Lima to Santiago Chile to Sao Paulo to Rio and then an overnight at the airport hotel before flying on to Iguazu Falls on the 13th.
The Computer
One reader seems to have hit the nail on the head, a loose connection. Mr Acer wil now turn on, run for ten to 20 minutes and then go to "the screen of blue death" Maybe in Rio I can find somebody with a suggestion.

2012 Arizona Baseball Schedule | PDF
All dates and times are tentative.
TUCSON, Ariz. - The Arizona baseball team will open the 2012 season with 20 of its first 22 games at home, including 15 straight to start the year, at the new home of the Wildcats - Hi Corbett Field.
Arizona will play 35 of its 55 regular season games at Hi Corbett Field, which is scheduled to make its debut as the permanent home for Arizona baseball when North Dakota State visits Tucson to open the 2012 slate in February (17-19). The Bison are coached by Tod Brown, a former Arizona player and assistant coach.
"We are very excited to begin playing at Hi Corbett in the spring," Head Coach Andy Lopezsaid. "I think it is going to be an outstanding experience for our players and certainly for the fans. It is an exciting time for Arizona baseball as we look ahead to the upcoming season."
Also on the non-conference slate for visits to Tucson are Utah Valley (Feb. 21), Auburn (Feb. 24-25), Harvard (March 2-4), UC Davis (March 6-7), Eastern Michigan (March 9-11), New Mexico State (March 20-21) and East Tennessee State (April 27-29).
"It will be good for our team to get an opportunity to play a lot of home games early in the season," Lopez said. "We've got a strong nucleus of our team returning, and playing at home will allow the rest of the pieces to come together before we hit the road in conference play for the second half of the season."
Arizona hosts weekend series against five Pac-12 foes, including Washington State (March 16-18), Stanford (March 30-April 1), UCLA (April 13-15), Oregon (May 4-6) and rival Arizona State (May 25-27) to conclude the regular season.
The Wildcats and Sun Devils also play two non-conference games in Tempe, Ariz. The first contest is scheduled for April 17 and the second is set for May 16.
Other non-conference road games include a two-game mid-week series at Rice in Houston, Texas (March 13-14). The Wildcats also take on Utah Valley in a single game in Logan, Utah (April 4) before playing against Pac-12 newcomer Utah in Salt Lake City (April 5-7).
Besides the three-game set with Utah, Arizona will play at Oregon State (March 23), at Washington (April 20-22), at California (May 11-13) and at USC (May 18-20) in conference play.
The Wildcats have reached the postseason in seven of the last nine seasons under Lopez, who is entering his 11th year at the school. UA, which has appeared in back-to-back NCAA regional tournaments, returns two of its top three starting pitchers and five of its top eight hitters.
"Certainly one of our goals for moving into Hi Corbett Field is to improve our chances to host postseason games," Lopez added. "If we take care of our job on the field, we should have every opportunity. It is a fantastic facility and I think it will be a great atmosphere for our fans to come enjoy with their friends and families."
Arizona's long and storied baseball tradition includes a history of playing games at Hi Corbett Field. During the 1960-70s, the Wildcats hosted as many as a dozen night games each year at Hi Corbett Field. Through the 1974 season, Arizona enjoyed a home field advantage at the park that produced a 37-15 (.712) overall record.
Jerry Kindall Field at Frank Sancet Stadium has been the Wildcats' primary home facility since 1967, where Arizona boasts an all-time record of 1,114-486-4 (.695). From 1986-2003, the facility was known as Frank Sancet Field. Prior to 1986, the facility was known as Wildcat Field.
The Arizona baseball team begins official fall practices on Monday, Oct. 10. The fall practice season will run through Nov. 19.

College Hockey:North Dakota Rolls Over Manitoba
Stafford, Zajac Shine For Sioux
GRAND FORKS, N.D. — In the first 12 minutes of its exhibition season opener against Manitoba, North Dakota looked like a team with little practice under new head coach Dave Hakstol.
That's because the first practice Hakstol ran didn't occur until the morning of the game, and it was only a light skate. Until then, the Sioux had just three weeks of captain's practices under their belts. The Bison were 1-2 in three regular-season games.
"As with any first game or practice, there was some good, some bad and some ugly," Hakstol said. "Your first night out, there's going to be some miscommunication and we saw some of that."
After a shaky start that saw UND give up two shorthanded goals, the Sioux pulled ahead 3-2 before the end of the period and skated to an 8-3 victory. Sophomore forward Drew Stafford and freshman center Travis Zajac had two goals and two assists each while junior center Paul Deniset scored all three Manitoba goals.
With UND on the power play, Deniset struck for Manitoba just 44 seconds into the game, beating Sioux senior goalie Jake Brandt and quieting the crowd of 11,194 at Ralph Engelstad Arena.
UND senior defenseman Nick Fuher evened it 1-1 with a power-play goal at 2:11. The Sioux went up 2-1 when senior forward Rory McMahon tipped in Zajac's cross-ice pass on a 2-on-1 rush.
At 12:32, Manitoba knotted it 2-2 with an unassisted goal by Deniset following a turnover in the Sioux zone. Sophomore forward Brady Murray, last season's WCHA rookie of the year, gave UND the lead for good at 16:37 with an unassisted goal.
UND scored twice in the second period to extend its lead to 5-2. Zajac scored the game-winner at 7:58, firing in a backhand pass from Stafford.
"Travis came out and competed very hard," Hakstol said. "He didn't play like a freshman tonight. He wasn't back on his heels. He played hard and made a lot of things happen."
Stafford's power-play goal at 13:02 was a thing of beauty. He moved the puck from his forehand to his backhand and back to his forehand before roofing the puck over befuddled Bison goalie Krister Toews.
The Sioux scored two shorthanded goals in the third period to give UND a commanding 7-2 lead. Stafford picked off a Bison pass in the neutral zone and sent Zajac in alone on Manitoba goalie Jomar Cruz, who replace Toews to start the period. He deked Cruz and flipped in a backhand over his outstretched pad.
Sioux senior defenseman Andy Schneider looked like a forward as he carried the puck end-to-end, splitting three Bison defenders and rifling a wrister past Cruz at the 6:24 mark. Stafford scored UND's third power-play goal at 15:26, crashing the net and pounding in his own rebound.
Hakstol is counting on Stafford, a first-round draft pick of the Buffalo Sabres, to make up for scoring the Sioux lost when forwards Zach Parise and Brandon Bochenski turned pro early. The coach was just as pleased with Stafford's second goal as he was with his first "highlight reel" goal.
"He took the puck to the net hard and drove right through the crease and through the goaltender," Hakstol said. "That's a real good sign with Drew is playing power hockey."
Deniset closed out the scoring with his third goal at 18:38 to make the final score 8-3. He beat UND freshman goalie Philippe Lamoureux, who replaced Brandt with 8:58 to play in the second period.
Manitoba coach Mike Sirant was impressed with UND. "They're going to be the fastest and most skilled team that we'll play this year," he said. "With the speed of UND and the pressure they put on, it forced our guys to make a lot of errors. They're really hungry to score."
The Sioux outshot Manitoba 24-19 and were 3-8 on the power play while the Bison were 0-7. Brandt stopped seven of nine shots he faced and Lamoureux stopped nine of 10. Toews gave up five goals on 19 shots while Cruz gave up three goals on five shots.
UND travels to Maine October 8-9 for a regular-season, nonconference series against the Black Bears.

It appears that Danny Granger probably had an exclusive deal with Upper Deck during his RC year (which was common in it's day)
- as he only has autograph rookies from Upper Deck.
At times, Granger has looked and played like an NBA superstar - but more than likely he will be remembered as a solid NBA player. His
rookie cards have always been well collected, although his values have not done much in a while.

College Hockey:Season Preview: Brown Bears
There probably isn't a team in the league looking forward to its freshman class as much as Brown. After two consecutive disappointing seasons, head coach Roger Grillo is looking for something — anything — to kickstart his program.
— Brown head coach Roger Grillo
"Last year was certainly a disappointment for us," said Grillo, whose team finished with a 4-15-2 league record. "It was not a lot of fun and not very enjoyable. We've brought in 10 new young men and hope that they can help us in an area which hurt us last year, and that was scoring up front."
Last year's squad probably realized that it would be a long season after dropping seven of its first eight ECAC contests. During that stretch, Brown's opponents averaged 4.4 goals per game, which included a dismal road trip to Central New York where Cornell and Colgate pounded the Bears for eight and seven goals respectively.
It certainly didn't help that goaltender Scott Stirling suffered an early-season injury that kept him out of the lineup for the first quarter of the year. In hindsight, however, Stirling's early absence did leave the door open for junior Brian Eklund, who gained valuable experience between the pipes.
Eklund finished the season with eight starts under his belt and a team-best .915 save percentage and 2.95 goals against average. His personal highlight came late in the season when he posted 32 saves during his team's shocking 6-0 victory over nationally-ranked St. Lawrence. The two guys who may give Eklund some competition for playing time are junior Graham McNally, who saw action in four games last season, and newcomer Yann Danis out of the Cornwall Colts system.
"Eklund, going into it, is the frontrunner," said Grillo. "He played well down the stretch and played some great games. He's a kid that has a lot of talent and he can certainly help us get the job done. Graham McNally is there should he falter, and the freshman, Yann Danis, can surprise a lot of people. He has a bright future for us."
Grillo is banking on his returning blueliners, however, to keep games a lot closer than they were at times last season. After all, not many teams can flaunt the fact that they have the entire starting unit back in uniform this season. Years of experience will certainly help the likes of seniors Mike Pratt and Christian Warrington as well as the junior tandem of Josh Barker and Chris Dirkes.
"Overall our strength will be out back," said Grillo. "We have six key guys that are back. We were young and the three senior defensemen didn't get a lot of time, so it looks like we lost a lot of people but we really didn't. Paul Esdale [who led the defense in scoring last season with nine points] was one of the better offensive players in the league back there and has the potential to break it open. We have three young guys as well, and two of them will battle right from the get-go."
As the defensive corps brings it up the ice, who will be there to collect the puck? For a team that averaged 2.36 goals per game last year, Grillo is looking for a scoring threat or two to re-energize the attack and lift the team from the 12th place spot in the league that it held last season. The good news is that the team's leading scorer, Matt Kohansky, who finished with 17 points last season, returns to the lineup along with Jon Zielinski and John Petricig. All three players possess the ability to have breakout seasons and will need to unearth that talent pretty soon if the team is to be successful. Returning youngsters Chris Legg and Keith Kirley combined for 19 points during their freshman campaign and will need to step up their games as well.
"It's a situation where we didn't have one guy in the top 50 in the league in scoring. Our top scorer had 17 points and that's just not going to get it done," said Grillo. "It's an area of concern and we have six guys who were in the top two in scoring on their teams that we brought in."
The freshman class will be most critical on the front lines. The six incoming players are wild cards and any could turn out to be the prolific scorer that Brown desperately needs. Pascal Denis, Shane Mudryk, Scott Pratt, Nick Ringstad, Brent Robinson and Adam Saunders are all names that Grillo hopes to see inch their way up the scoring chart as the season goes along. Then again, it's always difficult to bank on players who have yet to really experience D-1 play.
"We hope that we can address the problems up front with scoring," said Grillo. "We focused mostly on up front with our recruiting, and with six new guys we hope they can help us right away.
"We were disappointed with last year and the way we ended it. Hopefully we can change what the [preseason] poll said and get into the upper echelon of the league. We're not going to finish in 12th."

Nokia says its Lumia Windows Phones are perfect companions for Super Bowl XLVI
With Super Bowl XLVI bound to attract more than 100 million viewers this Sunday (February 5), big companies have paid hard cash for ad spots during the game. Reportedly, an average of $3.5 million was paid for a 30-second ad.
From the companies involved in the mobile industry, Samsung will have an ad featuring its Galaxy Note Android handset – expected to be launched by AT&T on February 19.
But what about Nokia, which repeatedly said it wants to make a big splash with its Lumia range on the US market this year? Well, Nokia won't have any ads during Super Bowl XLVI. Instead, it's bragging on its official blog about the fact that a Lumia phone is "the perfect companion" for Super Bowl.
According to a recent study, about 60% of Super Bowl viewers will use their phone in one way or another. And Nokia says a Lumia is the perfect to have around this Sunday because: its exclusive ESPN app can be used to view real-time stats, the easyTube app lets you view commercials or other clips n YouTube, and the Epicurious app can help you with the food during Super Bowl Sunday (which "is the second–largest day of food consumption in the United States after Thanksgiving"). Right, as if other smartphones (running Android or iOS, for example) don't have similar apps.
Unfortunately for Nokia, there's just one Lumia handset released in the US until now: the Lumia 710, which is available only via T-Mobile for $39.99 on contract. The Lumia 800 should be introduced this month (unlocked – thus not via a carrier), while the Lumia 900 will be launched in March by AT&T.

For the first time in the season DC United were leading a game. Fabian Espindola with a 21-yard shot, and Perry Kitchen with a right-footer put the Black-and-Red at the driving seat against Chicago Fire on Saturday. But the lead didn't last for too long.
In the 82nd minute at RFK Stadium, Quincy Amarikwa netted his second goal of the season for the Fire after a clinical assist from Patrick Nyarko, handling a final draw to both sides at 2-2.
With the negative result United have extended their winless streak to 15 matches, and the Chicago side prolonged its undefeated streak versus the Ben Olsen's side to five matches since late 2012.
Chicago Fire (4-4-2): Johnson, Watson, Hurtado, Soumare, Cochrane, Shipp, Larentowicz, Alex (80' Anangono), Joya (56' Nyarko), Amarikwa (89' Rolfe) and Magee
DC United (4-3-1-2): Hamid; Franklin, Parke, Boswell, Fernandez, Neal (63'Jeffrey), Kitchen, DeLeon, Silva (38' Arnaud), Espindola (81' Doyle) and Johnson.
Yellow cards: 22' Nick DeLeon (DC), 56' Jeff Parke (DC) and 58' Greg Cochrane (Fire).
DC United and Chicago Fire started in a very slow tempo due to the rain in the nation's capital. With that in mind, the visitors tried long-range balls and showed signs of tension in their backline kicking any possible incoming balls sideways.
Meanwhile, United had a consistent passing game and created the first attacking opportunities with Sean Franklin crossing into the box from the right wing.
In the 16th minute, Eddie Johnson's stroke with his right foot, but Fire's goalkeeper Sean Johnson stopped the attempt. Just a few minutes later, United striker Fabian Espindola fired a powerful header, which once again was punched away by Johnson.
The Black-and-Red came in to this match with the fewest shots on goal in the league, but just before the end of the first half they had doubled their numbers.
As the home crowd started to feel the possibility to see the first goal of DC United in the season, central defender Jhon Hurtado from Chicago Fire scored a header in the top left corner of Bill Hamid, putting the visitors ahead at RFK stadium at the 27th minute.
Less than 10 minutes later, Johnson pushed another counter-attack for the home team and suffered a foul inches away from the box. In a two-touch set piece, Espindola fired up to beat Johnson after Nick DeLeon rolled it to the side in the free-kick making the game 1-1.
Close to the end of the first half, Olsen was forced to burn his first substitution after Luis Silva made a tackle and apparently twisted his right ankle around the 38th minute, so Davy Arnaud entered for the midfielder.
The second part of the match kicked off completely different from the first 45 minutes and both the Black-and-Red and Fire came close to take the lead. The visitors almost saw a second net with consecutive crosses and corners chances pounding on United's door.
But at the 74th minute, it was time for the home team to come up with a surprise. In a left side corner, Bobby Boswell headed on goal, tried a shot after a rebound from Johnson, but it didn't go through. Then in a third attempt, at this time from United midfielder Perry Kitchen, the ball went in and the home side were ahead in the game.
Seeing his team behind, Frank Yallop decided to switch midfielder Alex for the forward Juan Anangono. Yet it was Nyarko, who entered in the 56th minute for Benji Joya, that delivered a cross inside the box so Amarikwa could finish on the right down side of Hamid making it 2-2.
Johnson tried one last counter-attack for United and found Jared Jeffrey open on the left wing, but the midfielder didn't reach his teammate's expectations to return the ball to him. And the game ended at a tie.
With the draw DC United moved up one position from last in the Eastern Conference to ninth place with one point in three matches. While Chicago Fire continue as the sixth seed in the same conference after four games and three points.
Game Numbers (full time): DC United vs Chicago Fire
Possession: 52.4% 47.6%
Shots (on goal): 17(9) 13 (4)
Fouls: 16 7
Corners: 5 4
Most effective player for DC United: Eddie Johnson
Most effective player for Chicago Fire: Quincy Amarikwa
Least effective player for DC United: Cristian Fernandez
Least effective player for Chicago Fire: Matt Watson
Next on for DC United:
After scoring their first point in the 2014 MLS season, Ben Olsen's side will remain in Washington D.C. during the week and face the New England Revolution next Saturday.

Axl Rose was not at all impressed with the Red Hot Chili Peppers Super Bowl half-time show and he didn't hold much back in a Twitter op-ed. Rose went on to point out that the Red Hot Chili Peppers probably made history with their halftime show, according to the Huffington Post on Feb. 6.
Rose said that they may have "set the world record for singing in front of the largest karaoke audience ever!" This came after some alert TV viewers noticed that the guitars weren't plugged in during the show. The Red Hot Chili Peppers admitted that the music was prerecorded, but they were adamant that their singing was live.
This was nothing more than a glorified karaoke show to Rose, who compared the Red Hot Chili Peppers presentation to that of the fake sign language interpreter that was seen on camera with President Obama and other world leaders at the Nelson Madella memorial service in December.
Apparently Rose thinks the band didn't fool anyone, just like when Thamsanqa Jantjie made all those strange circular and jerking motions with his hands as if he was signing words. Here is Axl's extended tweet:
"Oh well, so much for science! But hey, they still got that karaoke thing going for 'em! Awesome! They're right up there with the sign language guy, whose deep n' heartfelt dedication, absolute total commitment, conviction (or maybe that was just the other 3 tire binding, poor sob burning murderers), absence of sanity, and ultimate public achievement should not b forgotten! God Bless Mandela for his consideration n' generosity, for foreseeing this noble event and kicking the bucket (too soon?) allowing us this, not unlike the Superbowl, historic, heroic n' amazing event! Amen!!

In the 2012, Freddie Mac published its exhaustive Quality Control Best Practices, in which they argue that through extensive research they can strongly conclude that the mortgage industry must employ reliable and effective quality control programs. Maintaining commitment to quality control, from before an application is submitted, throughout the full mortgage origination process, is essential. This affords organizations the ability to monitor and evaluate the origination process' integrity and provide feedback to the organization about its loan originations. Toward this end, Freddie Mac's publication details the requirements and best practices for designing, administering, and documenting an effective quality control program.
Quality Control Program Reporting Requirements
Documenting and reporting quality control activities to senior management on a regular basis forms the crux of a successful quality control program. Providing these to management enables them to: better respond to specific quality control findings, resolve identified problems, monitor the quality of mortgage production and the operation of the quality control program, and demonstrate documentary compliance to Freddie Mac. Section 48.10 specifically mandates that each mortgage company's quality control program includes documentation of all pre-closing and post-closing quality control activities and reviewed by management on a regular basis. (Source: http://www.freddiemac.com/singlefamily/pdf/qc_practices.pdf)
Within 90 days of selection, results or findings of quality control reviews must be reported (in writing) to senior management. Freddie Mac recommends this be done on a monthly or quarterly basis. In the reviews, a thorough analysis of findings affecting eligibility or the acceptability of mortgages, must be made, and any corrective actions necessary should be initiated. Within 30 days of your determination, Freddie Mac must be notified in writing of the determination that a post-closing quality control finding affects the eligibility of a mortgage sold to Freddie Mac, with the exception of any findings that are related to potential or actual fraud, which must be reported in accordance with Guide Section 7.3.
Building Quality Control Reports
An organization's quality control program may have as few or as many reports as it requires, depending on the organization's specific operations, size and needs. At minimum, reports should:
Be timely
Be given to the appropriate management personnel
Contain not only useful information, but also the right amount of detail
Be designed to elicit suitable responses, in particular corrective action if and when appropriate
Produce trending and tracking results to better monitor the quality of originations
Types of records and reports you may want to maintain include:
Tracking and trending reports (documents historical quality of originations)
Mortgage sample selection documentation (documents which mortgage files were selected and the selection process)
Individual mortgage file report (summarizes the quality control review's findings for a given mortgage)
Summary report of individual findings (generated routinely [weekly or monthly is recommended] to summarize the findings of individual mortgage file reports, identify trends, as well as fraud or other real or potential problem areas)
Quality control finding reports (given to specific department heads; allows them to comment, make recommendations or offer explanations)
Follow-up quality control findings reports for senior management (summarizes findings and includes responses from the affected department heads)
Management's response, special problems report, corrective actions status, investors' reports, tracking and trending reports, and other special reports (e.g., branch office reports, reports of targeted reviews, mortgage service provider reports and/or fair lending reports )
Pulling these reports and records together can be more manageable through the use of loan document quality control (QC) technologies that perform essential loan QC and quality assurance (QA) functions, such as document classification, data extraction and audit rules automation, allowing loan agencies to potentially double their output without diminishing loan quality. The ability to do deep granular evaluations and reporting – which these applications support – has become essential to a loan agency's ability to meet and exceed regulatory oversight requirements, such as those of Freddie Mac.

The Gaiam All Grip Yoga Brick ($10) is one of those products that makes you say, "Why didn't I think of that?" Seriously, for years we've struggled to keep our grip on those Yoga blocks with no such luck. Lucky for us the people at Gaiam are in the business of Yoga and have designed a brick with ergonomic openings, allowing for a firm grip from any angle. Soft foam helps to maintain control and stability in those harder poses and also helps to ensure proper alignment. Now, who will invent an easier headstand?

To return to the main Foundation website, please close this browser window.
When you include The Foundation of Monongalia General Hospital, Inc. in your will/trust or as a beneficiary of a retirement
plan or life insurance policy, the Foundation of Mon General Hospital will invest the funds in the
Mon General Hospital Endowment with other previous gifts. A
team of investment professionals manages the entire endowment. Each year, Mon General Hospital
receives a distribution of approximately 5% of the value of the fund. If the
endowment earns an average of 8%, the additional 3% remains in the fund; thus
your original gift to the Foundation of Mon General Hospital will increase over time.
The chart on the left illustrates the growth of the
annual distributions to Mon General Hospital of an endowment gift under these assumptions.
The 3% net growth in the fund each year means the following year there is a
greater amount available to Mon General Hospital. Looking at the chart, you can see
that in the tenth year the fund has grown to the point where it is able to provide
$1,361 to Mon General Hospital. Each year it will continue to grow. In year 50 it
will be able to provide $3,799 dollars to Mon General Hospital.
told, over the fifty years we have charted, your endowment gift of $20,000 will
have distributed a total of $108,367 in annual distributions to Mon General Hospital
and have grown to almost $76,000, continuing to provide needed support. Of course,
this is based on the assumptions we outlined in the opening paragraph; that
the fund grows at 8% each year and pays out 5% to Mon General Hospital leaving 3%
additional in the fund each year.
Your original gift is never depleted; it
provides annual support each year into the future.
chart on the right illustrates how a gift of $20,000 to the Mon General Hospital
Endowment will grow, providing greater annual distributions to Mon General Hospital.
The illustration assumes the same average investment rate of return of 8%, which
is not a guarantee, and annual distribution to Mon General Hospital of approximately
5% that we used above.

Helpful Hints
Setting the table can be casual or formal. We'll share all kinds of hints from folding napkins to how to get wax out of a table cloth.
Setting a Buffet
When setting a buffet table, put the napkins and utensils at the end of the line so people don't have to juggle them with their plate while going through the line. Seems simple, right? Start noticing how many times you struggle through a line. Impress your guests with this simple hint.
Need a table runner?
Use 2-3 placemats. I have these great twig placemats that look fabulous under a fall centerpiece.
Floral Centerpieces
I find floral arrangements expensive. My solution – buy a bunch from the grocery store and augment them with items from nature or your garden. For instance, I used kale from my garden and mixed it with some sunflowers I bought at the market for an high impact arrangement.
Buy the no-drip kind – I find them at Home Goods – it'll save you a lot of time cleaning the wax mess!!

Bobbi is a special girl, and her Dollies are too. After her mother dies, the girls she played with as a child, who now view her as a pest, steal the dolls. Why? Bobbi is annoying, Bobbi is gross, Bobbi plays with her boogers and doesn't speak good. Bobbi is a special girl, and she doesn't always remember that she is missing her Dollies, but when she does, things start to happen that the doll-stealers don't understand. It's a leaky pipe, or maybe its just a guilty conscience. Either way, Bobbies Dollies...well, they're special.

The Third Reich is a fairly faithful adaptation of the Avalon Hill board game of the same name. It is a strategy game that was released to the DOS format in the middle nineties. It features a top down perspective and is a historically themed war game. It is complex and has a large learning curve, making it a very difficult play for gamers new to this genre or who have not played the board game of this name.
The Third Reich focuses on the Second World War the user has a choice of playing as either the Axis (Germany, Italy, and their forced military conquests) or Allied forces (Russia, England, France, and the United States and so forth).

Clint Eastwood, Chrysler Team For 'Halftime in America' Spot
Chrysler Group LLC aired a two-minute television commercial called "It's Halftime in America" during Super Bowl XLVI that featured the veteran actor and director Clint Eastwood.
Unlike most car makers, Chrysler did not release previews or teaser footage of the spot, so there was much speculation about what its message would be and who would deliver it. The company raised eyebrows prior to last year's big game when word got out that it planned to run a 2-minute ad, which seemed too long and like too big a gamble.
But last year's spot, "Imported from Detroit," starring rapper Eminem, was a huge hit for Chrysler and became part of its comeback story in 2011.
The latest commercial, which aired just before the second half began, is all about comebacks. Eastwood, famous for roles in films ranging from "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly" in 1966 to "Gran Torino" in 2008, draws parallels between the teams that have to come from behind in the second half of a game and people struggling in hard economic times.
"People are out of work and they're hurting. And they're all wondering what they're going to do to make a comeback. And we're all scared, because this isn't a game," he says.
In the end, he says, the growing strength of Detroit, which seemed near defeat a few years ago, reflects that of the nation.
"This country can't be knocked out with one punch," Eastwood says. "We get right back up again and when we do the world is going to hear the roar of our engines."

PEORIA, Ill. – Freshman second baseman Nolan Sponsler was 5-for-7 with a double in each game and three runs batted in, leading Bradley (14-22) to a doubleheader sweep of SIU Edwardsville (9-27) Wednesday evening at Peoria Chiefs Stadium.
In Wednesday's opening game, Bradley pitchers Stephen Toma (3-2) and Peter Resnick combined on 2-hit shutout, leading the Braves to a 3-0 victory. Toma was in control through the first six innings, before the Cougars loaded the bases in the seventh with no outs on a double, an error and a walk. Resnick relieved and earned his first career save by ending the game on a pop out and two strikeouts.
The Braves got all the offense they needed in the third inning when David Compitello led off with a bunt single, stole second and scored on Sponsler's double to right field. Sponsler added a 2-out single in the fifth, then stole second and scored on a Mike Tauchman single to right. Greg Partyka completed the scoring with his third home run of the year to lead off the bottom of the sixth.
Sponsler was 2-for-3 in the opener, while Tauchman extended his hitting streak to seven games with a 1-for-2 showing.
Bradley took the nightcap, 6-5, getting the offense started in a similar fashion as the first game. Right fielder Brady Wilkin opened the home half of the third with a bunt single, advanced to second on a wild pitch and scored on Sponsler's second double of the day. Sponsler made it 2-0 when he took third on a Tauchman ground out and scored on a Max Murphy ground out.
After SIUE answered with their first run of the day in the top of the fourth, the Braves added two more runs in the fourth and fifth innings to build a 6-1 lead, then held off a late Cougars rally.
Freshman right-hander Eric Scheuermann (3-3) evened his record by allowing only one run on one hit in his 5.0 innings of work. The Cougars touched the Bradley bullpen for four runs on five hits, a walk and a hit batter, but Andy Johnson got the final three outs in the seventh to earn his first save of the year.
While Tauchman (0-for-4) saw his modest hitting streak come to an end, freshman first baseman Elliot Ashbeck made the most of his first career start in the field by going 2-for-3 with a double and an RBI single. For the game, Bradley's four freshman position players – Sponsler (3-for-4), Wilkin (2-for-3), Ashbeck (2-for-3) and shortstop Tyler Leffler (1-for-1, 2 walks) – combined to go 8-for-11 with two walks, five RBI's and five runs scored.
The Braves will continue their season-long, 12-game home stand Friday by hosting Interstate 74 rival Illinois State in the first game of a weekend series at Peoria Chiefs Stadium. Friday's first game is slated for a 6 p.m. start and will feature a $1 concessions promotion (hot dogs and soda).

If all goes as planned, next year Margaret K. Lewis School will have a new home at Millville Elementary's campus. Administrators say it's an answer to overcrowding problems they've dealt with for years.
"In 1983 we had one class of physically impaired wheelchair children. We have now six or seven classes and there are 10 or 11 children in each room. With all the equipment and everything we don't have adequate space to meet their needs educationally," said Barbara Hardy, Margaret K. Lewis Principal.
Because the campus is landlocked, there is no room for growth. Another problem is the school is in a two-story building, which is not ideal for students in wheelchairs.
"We have about 50 percent of our students are non-ambulatory or have ambulatory problems and have trouble negotiating stairs. For us to go downstairs to an assembly right now in our gym downstairs it takes a good 30 to 45 minutes just to get all the students in place," said Hardy.
While Margaret K. Lewis educators are happy about the move, they say they understand the hurt other teachers in the county are feeling.
"The people that are on the other end of the situation that may be losing a school, I know it's hard and it breaks our heart too because we know and love all those people," said Hardy.
The plan to move Margaret K. Lewis School is part of a larger plan to realign or close others. The school board won't vote on the final proposal until February 18th.
Prior to the final vote school board members will be visiting all of the affected schools to hear from the public. The Margaret K. Lewis meeting will take place January 29 at 5:30 p.m.

Consider $V:= \mathbb{C}^n$ such that $n \ge 3$ and take $p \in V$. Let $\nu \colon \tilde{V} \rightarrow V$ be a composite of blow-ups along smooth centres such that $\nu$ is an isomorphism outside $p$ and $F:= \nu^{-1}(p)$ is a SNC divisor. Let $F' \subset F$ be a divisor which is an union of several components of $F$. We can see that the vanishing of the local cohomology group supported on $F$
$ H^2_F(\tilde{V}, \mathcal{O}_{\tilde{V}})=0 $
by the local duality and the Grauert-Riemenschneider vanishing theorem.
Question Do we also have $H^2_{F'}(\tilde{V}, \mathcal{O}_{\tilde{V}})=0$ for the above $F'$?

Sidney Bechet: Petite Fleur
Petite Fleur
Sidney Bechet (soprano sax)
Essential Five (The Restoration Project)
Sidney Bechet (soprano sax),
Guy Longnon (trumpet), Jean-Louis Durand (trombone), Charlie Lewis (piano), Alf "Totole" Masselier (bass), Armand Molinetti (drums).
Composed by Sidney Bechet.
Recorded: Paris, January 21, 1952
Rating: 90/100 (learn more)
This track is tough to rate, both because it is not really jazz and because I'm an American and the tune is quintessentially French. I review it because it represents the last major period (the 1950s) in jazz master Sidney Bechet's life, which he spent in France. Americans might recognize the tune, though, since it has served as background to French scenes in various movies.
Bechet uses his famous intense soprano-sax vibrato here to create striking aesthetic effects and express throbbing emotion. He also uses slides and swoops up and down the scale, conveying a roller coaster of feelings. The tune is really a French romantic melodrama in miniature, blown through Bechet's horn, with support from his band members; a nice piano break in the middle adds a dimension.

Saturday was the 1st local tournament for the Medical Lake Mat Maulers. They were extremely grateful for the chance to enjoy an extra hour of sleep before having to hit the mats at Shadle Park High School.
The extra rest might have proved to be a good thing as Medical Lake wrestlers took home 21 medals, including golds from Anthony Aguilera (age 10), Elijah Aguilera (9), Gavin Chaffee (8), Ethan Davis (10), and Isiah Giles (8).

text: Basically, I've noticed that anytime I perform a light side action, my party members respond as if I took the dark side path. For example, on Nar Shaddaa, when the exchange thugs are threatening the guy in the central pit area, I choose the Persuade option telling them to leave, but for some reason Bao Dur chimes in with a comment about how I want to continue to spread suffering by fighting, and to top it off, I loose influence with Atton, who's not even in my party. I suspect it has something to do with one of the mods I'm using, but rather than going with the incredibly time consuming trial and error approach, I was wondering if anyone else has had a similar problem, and any if they might have suggestions on how to remedy this problem. Much appreciated.

LVL X Edgy Girls Clothes
May 18, 2009 by admin · Leave a Comment
Fox Hills Mall is my favorite mall and, inside that mall, LVL X is my favorite store. The clothes are all on the edgy side – kind of if ghetto club wear met emo and alternative fashion with a bit of hip-hop thrown in. I buy everything but underwear and shoes there (though the store has those too): jackets, tops, dresses, skirts, pants, tights, hats, etc. The prices are incredibly reasonable. I just bought a very nice, sexy club dress for $30.00 and a pair of jeans on sale for $20.00. The average item falls around the $30.00 range with very, very few items priced above $50.00. As a college student, I love this. I plan to continue shopping at this store for as long as it remains open.

You practice, practice, practice…goes the old joke. If all your archer does is practice flinging arrows, you'll never get her to Carnegie Hall, though, because it takes more than just practice.
It is a fairly well-accepted rule that in order to be the best at "something", you have to put in a lot of work, and a general rule of thumb popularized over the last few years is 10,000 hours.
That's right, they say – Michael Phelps spent 10,000 hours swimming laps, Michael Jordan playing pickup on the neighborhood basketball courts for 10k hours . There is a lot of evidence when you look at various successful olympic athletes, that something similar about "time invested" applies. Another argument is that there really aren't any "child prodigies" for sports, that the overnight sensations are usually people that labored (practiced) anonymously for years until they were discovered (or had honed their skills till they were "good enough".
I fell in love with this whole concept when I first was told about it during an olympic coaching seminar held for all sports disciplines in Colorado, and I took it to heart since it merged with what through personal experience I felt I already knew. I also came home with the understanding that it is not merely "doing it everyday" instead of once every four years, but that it had to be purposeful practice.
This concept struck a deep chord, for I had unwittingly performed much this same concept in working with my athlete that ultimately medaled in Beijing. Coach Tom Parrish had told me as early as 2001 that Korean archers (then as now renowned as some of the world's best) always practiced with a coach so that no bad habits were allowed to creep in. Therefore, I had resolved to coach my daughter this same way.
For my archer, it was that nearly every arrow, of nearly every single practice day during more than 8 years of dedication, was done with me coaching – analyzing, assessing, judging, providing instant feedback and reinforcement. The archer was incredibly adept at receiving the observations and adjusting continually. I would guess this applied for 80% of her practice time – the rest of the time she diligently worked on her skills by herself, almost always with a set of particular element(s) to improve. She rarely met the "4 to 6 hours per day" workload due to physical limitations. However, when she was training she put 100% of herself into it, a higher commitment than most athletes can manage for such an extended time. She was deeply invested in "purposeful practice", and though I estimate she put in "only" 8,000 hours, it proved enough. Which brings me to ….
Focus: The Hidden Driver of Excellence , by Daniel Goleman
This book confirms in many ways the need for the "whatever-the-heck-number-of-hours-you-can-get-out-of-your-athlete" are, to be purposeful, innovative, challenging, stimulating, non-boring, enjoyable, well….you get the idea. I know it is a fact that in at least one medalist's case, that if done with the right technique, you don't need 10,000 hours and that is part of Goleman's argument. It can be done with far less, (as well as require far more) – the 10k rule makes the assumption that the individual actually has the core strength in all the elements that define "elite" to rise to the top step. In reality few will, but I do believe the investment of hours will lead that athlete to be the best that she or he "can" be.
This book should be on your shelf, coach, with ample highlights, underlines, quotes identified, and with the understanding that like the other books in my bibliography up here, it's both completely right and maybe all wrong. Take the parts that work best for your coaching philosophy and own them. If you are fortunate enough to encounter an athlete dedicated enough to attempt 10,000 hours of purposeful practice, you must be prepared to contribute your part to making those hours to be….purposeful enough, useful enough, effective enough, RIGHT enough, to enable that athlete to rise to his or her full potential. Will it be on the medal stand?
Only the gods of sport will decide upon which head the laurel wreath will rest.
