Jockey in Triple Crown Orb-it at Preakness
BALTIMORE, Md. As Orb's trainer Shug McGaughey approached jockey Joel Rosario in the Churchill Downs paddock before the Kentucky Derby, he gave his talented 28-year-old rider from the Dominican Republic one simple riding instruction.
"Joel, ride him with a lot of confidence like you always do," McGaughey told the leading jockey in the country in wins and earnings of more than $8 million.
Rosario prefers that a trainer's race and riding instructions be that simple, the simpler, the better.
"Too many instructions complicate things," he said. "The less a trainer tells a jockey the better."
Rosario rallied Orb from 17th place at the ¾-mile mark to win the 139th Kentucky Derby by 2½ lengths. Rosario's rally of Orb from the clouds looked more like Mike Smith urging home Zenyatta in her amazing finishes. If ever Rosario showed that he could be patient and close with a talented horse, he did that on the classic stage of the Derby.
Now Rosario is knocking on the door of this game's hallowed history, its Triple Crown. Rosario and Orb figure to crack that door a bit more Saturday as the morning-line, even-money favorite in the 138th running of the Preakness Stakes, the second leg of the Triple Crown. A win Saturday gives Rosario and the rest of Orb's connections a shot at the first Triple Crown in 35 years. Jockey Steve Cauthen was the last to win it in 1978 on Affirmed for the late trainer Laz Barrera and Harbor View Farm.
"Joel has a real chance to win these next two races with Orb," said Rosario's agent, Ron Anderson. "Maybe this is the year for the magic."
Three times in the past, Anderson saw client jockeys of his win two of three in the Triple Crown series. Gary Stevens won two of three (Derby and Preakness) with Silver Charm and (Derby and Belmont) with Thunder Gulch. And Chris Antley won two of three with Charismatic (Derby and Preakness).
Anderson believes Rosario is just the jockey to break that streak. He said Laffitt Pincay Jr., told him that Rosario reminds him of himself, especially the way he closes races with strength and skill. The late Hall of Fame trainer Bobby Frankel once touted Rosario to him when Anderson spotted Rosario riding at Golden Gate.
"Bobby said, 'You better watch this guy. He's good,'" Anderson said. "Then he said if I was lucky, I'd be working for him some day."
When Rosario moved East, trainer Shug McGaughey saw those same qualities that Frankel saw.
"I haven't seen any weaknesses yet," McGaughey said, adding that he felt once Rosario learned to rate a horse better he would do as well in the East as he did in the West, where he won 11 riding titles in less than three years at Hollywood Park, Santa Anita and Del Mar.
"The talent was there," McGaughey said. "He is young and energetic and a very, very confident guy."
Rosario is on a roll like no other in his career right now. It started last summer at Del Mar. He parachuted in to the beach last August and won the Grade I, $1 million TVG Pacific Classic aboard Dullahan. In March, he won the $10 million Dubai Cup aboard Animal Kingdom. He won the Keeneland spring meeting with 38 wins, breaking a 23-year-old record held by Randy Romero. He won five races on opening night at Churchill Downs and then won the Derby, becoming the first rider from the Dominican Republic to do that.
On Friday here at Pimlico, Rosario warmed up for the Preakness by riding the Bob Baffert-trained Fiftyshadesofhay to a huge win in the Grade II, $500,000 Black-Eyed Susan Stakes for owners Mike Pegram, Karl Watson and Paul Weitman. He ended the day winning the $100,000 Hilltop Stakes aboard Emotional Kitten.
When Rosario left Orb to win that $10 million paycheck in Dubai, jockey John Velazquez took his place on Orb and won the Fountain of Youth and the Florida Derby. But Velazquez opted for Verrazano over Orb in the Kentucky Derby.
"We traded $1 million (Florida Derby purse) for $10 million," Anderson said. "There is a lot of luck involved in this game. That was a super lucky situation for us."
Baffert, who will send lightly-raced Govenor Charlie in the Preakness, thinks highly of Rosario, but he said the young Dominican can be, well, a bit unpredictable.
"He's a really talented rider," Baffert said. "But sometimes he'll do something kind of wacky. He'll make a move and get you just scratch your head and wonder what he was thinking. But you can't get mad at him. He's sort of a silly guy. But when you throw him on a horse, his IQ goes up 100 points."
Notes: Craig Dado, Executive Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer of Del Mar Thoroughbred Club, has been elected to the Board of Directors of the National Thoroughbred Racing Association (NTRA).

Independent state House hopeful Kathleen Curry is defying an ad campaign accusing her of backing a bill allowing insurers to deny coverage for mammograms during a prior term in the Legislature.
Curry said the bill in question would not have impacted breast-cancer screenings.
"It hits home because my mother is a breast cancer survivor," Curry said. "It's so inappropriate. To use people who have experience with cancer, which is such a devastating disease, in politics, is really pretty poor taste."
Local district attorney's offices are launching an investigation of the Colorado Accountable Government Alliance, the committee funding the negative radio and mailer ads, at Curry's request. Publishing false information intended to influence voters violates state law, she said.
"I'm not going to just let them get away with sending out and running ads that are lies about me," Curry said. She later added in a release, "the use of such tactics damages the voters' trust in the system and undermines the integrity of the election process."
The mailer, which was paired with radio ads and sent out to Democrats and possibly others in Summit County and across the House District, states Curry is "the insurance companies' best friend in Denver."
It highlights a 2010 bill that would have imposed a one-year moratorium on new health insurance mandates, but mammograms, which were already a mandated benefit under previous state law, wouldn't have been one of them, Curry said.
The bill died in committee in the House.
Curry, who served as a Democrat until her last year in office in 2010, initially blamed the Democrats for the attack campaign, saying moves like this one were among the reasons she finally left the party.
The mailers say "Curry lost her seat in the state House because she became part of the problem."
But Curry's Democratic opponent, Millie Hamner, and the party itself, have distanced themselves from the ads.
"Whatever is happening to Kathleen has nothing to do with my campaign," Hamner said. "I'm running a clean and positive campaign. I've never said a negative word about any of my opponents."
Democratic Party officials also claimed they weren't familiar with the ad campaign.
"I haven't seen them or the issues they address," party spokesman Matt Inzeo stated in an email. "The party is proud to stand behind Rep. Hamner, especially as she has been a great advocate for health access and coverage for rural Coloradans."
But the Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee - an organization that claims it works to "win state legislative seats and chambers for Democrats" - is a significant contributor to Colorado Accountable Government Alliance.
Vail Resorts has also contributed thousands to the organization funding the ads.
The alliance has a reported budget of more than $2 million, according to the Colorado Secretary of State's Office.
Multiple attempts to contact Colorado Accountable Government Alliance agent Julie Wells were unsuccessful.
While disputing the campaign's claims with a few radio ads of her own, Curry says she sees the effort as a positive sign for her own bid for the state House.
"I think that means I'm competitive in the race," she said. "The parties don't invest that kind of programming and effort unless the race is close."
For the major parties, it's the House itself that's on the line. The Republicans won control of the state House by one narrow victory for one seat, putting the GOP up 33 seats to 32 held by the Democrats. The race for House District 61 could help determine which way the chamber goes in 2013.

Admission Process

A $700,000 grant to the College, which will be administered by the New York State Foundation for Science, Technology and Innovation (NYSTAR), will be used to help fund the Sustainability Institute at Onondaga Community College. The College was one of only three community colleges in New York State to receive the grant, which was secured by State Senator John DeFrancisco.
"Central New York is on the cusp of becoming a leader in several cutting-edge industries, including renewable energy and environmental systems," said New York State Senator John A. DeFrancisco (R-I-C-WF, Syracuse). "This initiative will help to keep our talented young people in Central New York by preparing them for the rapidly growing opportunities in these high technology fields. It will also propel our economy forward and reinforce our efforts to develop a high-tech, cutting-edge cluster Upstate."
Earlier this year, OCC President Debbie L. Sydow, Ph.D., joined with leaders from nearly 300 other public and private colleges and universities across the country in signing the American College and University Presidents' Climate Commitment. Through this commitment, Onondaga will work to reduce and eventually eliminate emissions, and to accelerate the educational efforts to equip society to restabilize the earth's climate. These goals will be accomplished through a comprehensive institutional action plan to begin to move the campus toward climate neutrality in part through the efforts of the Sustainability Institute. The Institute will be led by David Wall, director of Corporate and Public Partnerships at OCC.
One key focus of the Institute involves designing an interdisciplinary curriculum that will include the following proposed programs: 1) Energy and Environmental Systems A.A.S. degree (with concentration options in Architectural/ Construction, Renewable Energy Technology, and Geoscience/Environmental Technology) and 2) Energy and Environmental Systems A.S. degree (designed for students planning to transfer to four-year institutions.) Plans also include a new Automotive Technology: Emissions Monitoring and Testing A.A.S degree. As the auto industry converts vehicles to alternative forms of fuel, there will be an increased demand for highly trained technicians skilled in the diagnostics and repair of those vehicles.
A second focus is the review of campus operations in support of a sustainable environment. These efforts build on Onondaga's ongoing commitment to sustainability and renewable energy as outlined in the 2008-13 Facilities Master Plan.
The third goal is to review such items as: physical plant operations, conservation of natural resources, energy usage, consumption of water resources, food service operations, recycling initiatives and transportation systems. Recently, a Transportation Task Force, made up of faculty, staff and student representatives provided recommendations to improve public transportation services for students and to encourage the campus community to be more energy conscious in considering their commuting options.
Did you know?
The College has installed "flex pave" at the entrances to Mawhinney Hall and several parking lot islands. Flex pave is an alternative to asphalt made of epoxy and re-used tires. It is porous, allowing rainwater and snowmelt to return to the soil rather than overtax the public sewer systems.
The College is saving an estimated 45,000 gallons of water per year for each of the 21 water-efficient facilities recently installed in the renovated men's and women's restrooms of Mawhinney Hall.

North Port-Port Charlotte bus route considered
Published: Monday, February 18, 2013 at 5:23 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, February 18, 2013 at 5:23 p.m.
For the past 10 years, Eugene Ficer has driven the 14 miles each workday from his North Port home to his job as a cook at Fawcett Memorial Hospital in Port Charlotte — then back again.
Should bus service be offered between North Port and Port Charlotte, possibly by Sarasota County Area Transit?

Bus Question
Herald-Tribune Media Group
300 S. Tamiami Trail
Venice, FL 34285.
Comments should be received by Feb. 26 and may appear in print and online.
He has been paying about $45 a week to fill up his Ford Explorer and, with gas prices now at about $3.84 per gallon, is likely to pay more. So, he immediately became enthusiastic when he heard about an idea now getting serious attention:
A bus route linking North Port and Port Charlotte, with stops at major employment centers on or near U.S. 41 such as Fawcett and nearby Peace River Medical Center.
"I love public transportation," said Ficer, a former resident of Brooklyn and Long Island who relied on transit to get to his job in Manhattan.
Ficer would rather "relax and read" during his commute than pay attention to traffic. And, if sharing a ride with others saves him money, he is definitely interested in seeing less of his paycheck go into his car's gas tank.
The neighboring communities of North Port and Port Charlotte are growing into a metropolitan area in their own right. More and more residents cross the Sarasota County-Charlotte County line daily to work, shop and play.
Regional transportation planners say the time may have come to provide those drivers with a more affordable option other than their cars.
A potential bus route crossing a county line is not without precedent in this area.
For several years, Sarasota County Area Transit and Manatee County Area Transit have operated a U.S. 41 route linking downtown Sarasota, downtown Palmetto and major destinations in between — such as the airport, State College of Florida and downtown Bradenton.
Now, two transportation panels comprising mayors, county commissioners and other elected officials — the Sarasota-Manatee Metropolitan Planning Organization and Charlotte County-Punta Gorda Metropolitan Organization — are considering a North Port-Port Charlotte bus service.
The MPOs prioritize federal and state transportation spending from Palmetto to Punta Gorda and could make a pitch for a federal or state grant to get the proposed route under way.
First, however, they must determine whether enough people are willing to get on board.
"What is going to determine feasibility is route alignment and sufficient ridership," said Whit Blanton of the Renaissance Planning Group, an Orlando firm the MPOs will use to find those answers.
Charlotte does not have a fixed route bus service like Sarasota County. So, if the new route is warranted, SCAT would most likely extend its service into Charlotte just as it did in Manatee.
Charlotte does, however, have a dial-a-ride service "that's doing pretty well and costs less than a taxi," said Nick Lepp, a Renaissance consultant.
Lepp is going to examine where those dial-a-ride customers go and how often North Port is their destination.
Renaissance is also going to survey employers along U.S. 41 and their employees to find out where the workers live, whether they car pool and whether they would prefer to take public transit.
"They'll be looking at all the employers and employees along the way," Bob Herrington, executive director of the Charlotte County-Punta Gorda MPO, said.
Lepp hopes to have some preliminary findings by March 8, when the two county commissions are to have a joint session.
"Any type of fixed route would have to be endorsed by them," Michael Howe, executive director of the Sarasota-Manatee MPO, said of the two county commissions.
Robert Rosenberg, chairman of the North Port Economic Development Corp., is hoping for a positive result.
North Port-Port Charlotte bus service would boost his nonprofit agency's agenda of attracting more employers in sectors such as the hospitality industry, health care and education, Rosenberg said.
"People who work in the area really don't care about political boundaries when it comes to transportation," Rosenberg said. "Where public transportation works well, it seems to be utilized. And transportation always helps economic development."

SANTA CLARA -- If it's too soon to conclude A. J. Jenkins is an NFL bust, listening to his words and hearing the voice within would explain why "bust" was an accurate assessment of his rookie season with the 49ers.
Jenkins, in so many words, admits to underestimating the NFL.
Consider all suspicions confirmed by the source.
"It's a lot faster, man," Jenkins said Tuesday. "The windows are a lot smaller than in college. (Defensive backs) are a lot quicker and faster. Every catch is going to be more like a contested catch. Mostly in college you're like wide open all the time. But in the league, you have to really have strong hands because DBs are going to be right on you most of the time."
Jenkins got schooled in ways he never did during a rich collegiate career at Illinois. Arriving in the Bay Area last spring for rookie minicamps, the first-round draft choice was confident but poorly conditioned. He was puzzled by the playbook and physically overmatched.
One year later, Jenkins is diving into the three-day minicamp at team headquarters with what seems a much better idea of what it takes to survive, much less thrive. He looks bigger, saying his weight is up to around 200 pounds. And he's drawing praise.
"The last two days of last week he had the two best days he's had since I've been here," offensive coordinator Greg Roman said.
"A.J. had his best week of football since he's been a 49er the last four days of OTAs, which was the last week of OTAs," coach Jim Harbaugh said. "And he continues to build on that."
A note of caution: Harbaugh and Roman tend to avoid public critiques, opting to speak of their players in reverent tones, and Harbaugh at times is downright defensive. When reporters last spring took note of Jenkins' unimpressive early showing, implying he was a bust, Harbaugh's response was an unprompted scolding in Jenkins' defense.
He said Jenkins had "exceeded expectations" and "will be an outstanding football player in the National Football League."
The rookie repaid his supportive coach with an invisible season, rarely playing and compiling zero statistics. No catches, no yards.
That's why his goals in 2013 are so clear. Jenkins must, above all, redeem himself. That would validate Harbaugh's faith and, moreover, vindicate the risk taken by general manager Trent Baalke, who surprised observers by selecting Jenkins with the 30th overall pick in 2012.
Jenkins, until he proves otherwise, is little more than the most conspicuous blight on the G.M.'s generally impressive draft record. And it stings.
"You just have to tune everybody else out," Jenkins said, embarking on some self-talk. "Just go into the season and think about your job and your focus. The media covered everything. Being a first-round draft pick, they all want to put this label on you, call you all kinds of things."
Things such as "bust," which will define Jenkins if he can't measure up to league standards -- and quickly, considering the condition of San Francisco's wide receiver corps.
Michael Crabtree, the team's leading receiver in 2012, could miss the year with a torn Achilles tendon. Randy Moss and Ted Ginn Jr., the team's most visible speed threats last season, are gone. Mario Manningham is recovering from a knee injury at a slower rate than Kyle Williams, who also is coming off knee surgery.
New acquisition Anquan Boldin is a marvelous weapon, but he alone cannot offset so many absences.
That's where Jenkins and his huge hands come in. Ricardo Lockette and Quinton Patton are in the mix, but Jenkins realizes he came with higher expectations.
"My mindset going into this offseason was to try to play more anyway, regardless of whether Crabtree was hurt or not," Jenkins said. "It's unfortunate that he had an injury, but my mindset didn't waver at all."
He says he has a better grasp of the playbook, that he learned a lot watching Moss and continues to get assistance from Boldin. Jenkins claims offseason sessions with quarterback Colin Kaepernick have strengthened their bond.
Though these are important matters in developing individuals and the team, Jenkins also carries the burden of knowing he dropped an opportunity last year.
He bobbled it immediately and never got a grip.
If the 49ers have reservations about Jenkins, and privately they must, they are justified. How could he be even slightly surprised to learn the league of all leagues, featuring the best of the best, is demanding and complex and exacting?

Being a sober Phishphan and having been so for over ten years now, I will tell you that I have never had a problem with energy. It is just an attention span issue. The kids these days. . .
THE MUSIC: This was not a show for anyone that does not pay attention to the rich history and intimacy of the JAM! This was not the show for a new girlfriend introduction to a "cool band we just heard about," This was a rich and varied show played so tight that I couldn't get out of it! (even with those around me). The band is playing so well together, they are indulging in each other (or so it seems) each of them take time to hold the light saber and show their Jedi Mastery, and I gotta say: vocally, they are hitting notes and sounding super strong. This was an incredibly vivid show: the lights were astounding, video master even had a great time throughout (but props during Sparkle); and I was a part of a grand Phish Show!
6 years ago I had a campsite and mud up to my ankles in glorious Vermont for a strange two day goodbye party that the world conspired against. My favorite band was choosing to break up (and the way Paige cried 6 years ago tonight) it felt like it very well could be true. I am in beautiful Wisconsin today, relaxing into the afterglow of an incredible set with Phish last night, and heart pounding nervous excitement about what tonight could possibly become.
Cheers to Phish for their continued willingness and exploration. Cheers to the Phans young and old. And cheers to another setlist and venue into my own collection of the Book!

WOLCOTT - A hazardous materials response team spent Thursday morning at the site of an accident on westbound Interstate 70 near Wolcott where multiple semi-trucks were involved in a crash.
The Eagle River Fire Protection District, Colorado State Patrol and Eagle County Paramedic Services responded to the accident at mile marker 158 around 9:45 a.m., according to the fire district. The accident caused the closure of westbound I-70 at Edwards exit 163, with traffic diverted onto Highway 6, until about 1:45 p.m.
The Colorado State Patrol reported multiple crashes as the cause of the road closure, including passenger vehicles that crashed behind the scene while troopers investigated the semi-truck crash. The Colorado State Patrol reported six semi-trucks involved in the crash, while Eagle River Fire reported seven semi-trucks. No injuries were reported.
One of the semi-trucks, a tanker, was carrying hot oil asphalt. The tanker was not ruptured in the crash but because of "significant damage to the tanker," removing the tanker from the scene was tricky.
"Because the tanker had jack-knifed, the outer shell of the tank itself was compromised," said Eagle River Fire Lt. Ryan Vanderlinden, who was on scene. "Our big concern was by moving that tanker right away ... we could potentially rupture the inner liner."
The fire district reported that the Regional Hazardous Materials Association of Eagle County, which is composed of the Eagle County Sheriff's Office, Gypsum Fire Protection District, Greater Eagle Fire Protection District, Eagle River Fire and the town of Vail Fire Department, was on the scene in the morning trying to determine the best way to remove the contents of the tanker before removing the tanker itself.
"Initially, there was an indication we may have a flammability hazard, but further investigation ruled that out so that's why we chose to offload it," Vanderlinden said.
A tow truck from Summit County removed the truck from the interstate successfully without any of the tanker's contents spilling.
The weather was sunny and clear, but the road remained icy at the time of the crashes, according to the Colorado State Patrol.

Classes resumed Monday at Calvary Christian School after a break to help battle the flu. At one point, over 70 of Calvary's 156 students were absent, mostly because of sickness. But school secretary Annette James said the situation is improving.
"I think we have between eight and 10 out today. Two or three of those are not from sickness," said James. "I think our closing for the last few days, giving us the weekend to get over it, and our disinfecting, I think it's worked like a charm."
Calvary had the choice to close its doors to stop the spread of the bug, but Carver Middle School, part of the Meridian Public School system, didn't have that opportunity.
Even without time off though, school nurse Marcia Russell said she thinks the worst is over. (Russell)
"Usually, on average, the normal day I see 12-15 students," said Russell. "But the last few weeks, it's been about 30. I am only here two days a week, so it's been busy. There are fewer names on the absentee list now, but there are still more than normal at Carver."
The good news is doctors say flu season typically peaks in February.
It looks like better days are not too far away.

Crash landing
Redirected from Forced landing
this wiki
(covers information from several alternate timelines)
A crash landing was an emergency maneuver that was performed when there was insufficient time to land the ship or craft properly, or when the starship lacked the ability to land. Crash landings were often caused when the vessel was sent hurtling into a planet's atmosphere either too fast or with no control by the helmsman.
In 1967, the Federation timeship Aeon crash landed in the High Sierras on Earth, near Henry Starling's campsite. Captain Braxton was able to initiate an emergency beam out before the vessel's crash. (VOY: "Future's End")
In 2151, the Klingon Klaang crash-landed his K'toch-class scoutship in a cornfield in Broken Bow, Oklahoma, on the planet Earth. (ENT: "Broken Bow")
In 2254, the USS Enterprise detected an old-style distress signal from a ship in trouble which had a forced landing. (TOS: "The Cage")
In 2287, the shuttlecraft Galileo was forced to crash land into the USS Enterprise-A's shuttlebay, in a maneuver termed "Emergency Landing Plan B" by Captain Kirk. (Star Trek V: The Final Frontier)
In 2369, the Federation runabout USS Yangtzee Kiang crash-landed on a penal moon in the Gamma Quadrant. (DS9: "Battle Lines")
In 2371, the USS Enterprise-D was forced to crash its saucer on Veridian III after it was caught in the shock wave of the exploding stardrive section. At the helm, Deanna Troi had no control over the crash, but the descent of the ship was leveled somewhat by Data rerouting power to the lateral thrusters. (Star Trek Generations)
In an alternate timeline, USS Voyager was forced to crash on a class L planet after being thrown out of slipstream. The vessel would have broken up if they did not attempt to land, but the vessel came in too fast and crashed violently on the planet's surface, destroying one of the nacelles and killing all hands but Harry Kim and Commander Chakotay, who were on the Delta Flyer. This timeline was averted by the future Kim when he sent course corrections to Seven of Nine, which collapsed the slipstream, saving the crew. (VOY: "Timeless")

The Ring: Next Generation
Richard Wagner (1813 – 1883) / Alexandra Holtsch
Youth project, based on Richard Wagner's RING OF THE NIBELUNGS, with music by Alexandra Holtsch. First performed at Deutsche Oper Berlin on 10. March, 2013

|Conductor, Elecronic Music
|Alexandra Holtsch
|Robert Lehniger

|60 Jugendliche aus Berlin
|Orchester der Deutschen Oper Berlin
In Richard Wagner's RING OF THE NIBELUNG the hopes of the elders rest on the next generation. It is up to the children and grand children, Siegmund, Sieglinde and Brünnhilde, to save the world for their parents. In 2013, the year of Wagner celebrations, the Deutsche Oper Berlin invites 60 young people to team up with a production crew, a composer, classical musicians and singers to create an experimental evening of musical theatre. Drawing on characters from Wagner's RING, the project addresses the following questions: Can the younger generation act as a beacon of hope for a new, improved world - and does it want to? How do young people deal with the expectations placed on them by their elders? What kind of future do youngsters see for themselves? What are the hopes and fears of today's "next generation"?
Crossover between film and theatre is an area that has long interested the young director Robert Lehniger. He has worked at theatres in Zurich, Basel, Frankfurt and Hanover, among other locations, at the Münchner Kammerspiele, Berlin's Volksbühne and Vienna's Burgtheater. He is working on DER RING: NEXT GENERATION in tandem with Alexandra Holtsch, a DJ who has played in big-name clubs around Europe including as resident DJ at the WTF drum 'n' base club in Berlin. Holtsch is also a composer of contemporary music, whose works include the BARCODE scratch opera produced for the 10th edition of Munich's Biennale für Neues Musiktheater.

I have been using CAMExpert and have made machine files to generate G-code for my plasmatable.
I am happy to see that it is now integrated in QCad. and i bought it as soon as i saw it was available.
But now i have a problem i cant figure out how to configure the output to fit my needs.
I am using LinuxCNC to control my plasmatable. I need to turn on torch with M3 and pause for X sec before i start to cut each contour, and put in M5 before rapid move to next contour.
Is there some doc. to read or can someone please help me to understand how to configure the new cam?

Tottenham Hotspur Message Board
Bale brace - another win
I was very nervous going into this game (predicted a 2-2 draw, unusual for me when I'm nervous, usually not so generous). Newcastle on a high from beating the chavs...new players revving them up and the fact that they beat us with old players on opening day! They were nowhere near the team that played last week (and even then gave us a run for our money).
So, yet another "not-so-great" performance by us and yet another victory (10 games on the bounce and no losses, I think).
Positives...GB was his usual marauding self...funny though, I think their keeper might have done better on both of the goals he scored (certainly the wall should have helped on the first one)...the second one went through his legs after being left wide open...but Bale didn't go for the far corner, more kicked it at Krul than anything. The save he made at the end seemed a much tougher proposition.
Aaron Lennon - I saw the Mighty Mite make about 4 clattering stand up tackles on various Toon players...and get back to support the defense on numerous occasions. Not a lot going forward, but did everything else right.
Holtby - once he gets his shooting boots on straight, he'll be Mega!. We could have been 3 up on his missed chances alone, by the end of the first half!
Daws - saved our bacon more than once with his blocks (got a bit unlucky with their goal and the deflection away from Lloris).
The rest...defense was up and down, at times stretched and shaky, other times impregnable...we definitely benefited from the Toon lad that went off injured...it didn't look like much, hope he's alright. On the other hand, how the hell did Dembele (more on him in a minute) carry on after that "red card" tackle from Cabaye? Well, he did eventually go off hobbling (we're falling like flies!)
Parker was lively, but wasteful; Adebayor gives us a better target up front than Dempsey, although Dempsey didn't do too badly (still not quite there and surprised to see him go the full 90 after a World Cup qualifier in mid-week...in which, he scored). Hopefully Ade brings his A-game to the next fixture as I'm sure he'll start.Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
i was nervous too rambro. i thought it was a bad time to play the geordies.
bale was superb again. we would be mid table without him.
but i thought dawson was a rock at the back. so glad he stayed in the end. dont forget he turned down a pay rise at qpr to stay for us & fight for his place. great pro!
i like holtby. links up well. as u say, lennon did really well...defensively.
i felt avb should have brought on ade a lot earlier. his presence helped with the winner.
dempsey always puts in a good shift. another good pro. his rapping is poor thou.
cant wait for defoe to be back next month. if bale gets injured we are screwed.
not a great performance again but at this stage with the lack of firepower etc we just the pts.
cabaye should have been sent off. clear red card! hope dembele is ok.
we should have had a pen in the 1st half too. but theres an unwritten rule that u dont give spurs pens in the prem this season.
ps. rambro, how is your boy doing. signs of maturing?
what do u think of the superbowl? who is your team?

I thought the comment about not giving us any pens was a bit harsh, so I investigated, and it turns out you're bang on right!
http://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/en/premier-league/elfmeter-startseite/wettbewerb_GB1.html - this has tables of most penalties given and conceded, as well as converted, by player as well as team, etc etc etc.
In fact, let's turn it into a game: 3 teams haven't conceded a single pen this season, can you guess who? And 3 teams haven't been given a single pen this season, can you guess who? Even seeing the table it took me a while to work out...
To be honest, Dembele seemed a bit foolish playing on as he did (or tried to, before he got hauled off) - there were 10 mins left, we were winning, and he'd quite clearly been hurt, potentially dangerously. That said, 100% respect the way he handled it; totally professional and 'constructive' (i.e. trying to play on and paying absolutely no attention to how the ref dealt with Cabaye, as well as graciously accepting his apology both at the time and as he was taken off) - top pro, top role model, top man; other players (for other teams and one or two of our own) take note!
I think Bale's a great player, but I'm well sick of hearing the praise being laid on him - when he scored the first one the commentators said something about how AVB didn't celebrate much because he must expect him to score! I reckon our strikers would be a whole lot higher up the golden boot table if he didn't play so selfishly. I'm really looking forward to Holtby adjusting to the league and the team more, I think he might impact that dynamic somehow.
I thought that we started really brightly and played some better, quicker football with more movement.
To me, Parker had been pretty poor compared to last season, but he seems to be growing back into it.
As you say, Lemmon looked good and his defensive work rate was there to be seen. Shame he doesn't demand the ball more.
Bale - what can you say? I love it when he scores, but I'd like us to be more than the Bale show. If for the remainder of the season he can turn provider and get Ade/Dempsey/Holtby/Daffy on the end (as well as still scoring a couple himself) - I think I'll be happy - as I think we'll need another player hitting scoring form if we're to see out the season in 4th (or above?).
No matter whether AVB is liked or not, the team under him are now getting results - the last minute leaking of goals is gone?
- 1 Reply to Jlock
JL I hear you about the Bale show...unfortunately that's what it is at the moment. Also, while he's brimming with confidence he won't be laying many chances off to teammates...comes with the territory I suppose.
SB - Thanks for asking about my kid - seems to be turning the corner (it took, in part, me scuttling his trip to Vegas with me, for his 21st...that and a few other things).
Grid Iron - well as most of my years in the States have been spent in New Jersey, the Giants have always been my team...but as I live in Maryland now...Baltimore County in fact, it was hard not to get swept up in SuperBowl fever like everyone else in the city...so I was backing the Ravens all the way. Good game - I think the Silly-cone Valley nerds knocked out the power grid with a hack - wink...but it didn't work. Everyone but the City of Baltimore wanted the 49-ers to win; and had I still been living in NJ, I probably would have too! (Lastly, if Beyonce's half-time show didn't knock the lights out, a few piddlin' floodlights shouldn't!)

I thought about ignoring this, but you seem the type who thrives on the apathy of others.
Let me tell you about me, Mr. Condescending. In my life I have been a chemical engineer, a salesman, a college athlete, and am currently an active duty Navy physician who trained under some of the most eminent physicians in the world, twice-published, husband of an extremely intelligent (and discerning, I might add) woman and father of three.
I have known some very knowledgeable, humble and intelligent people who understood leadership. I have also known some egregiously self-important blowhards who are in love with rules because they lack the mental agility to think creatively and are in love with the sound of their own voice (or the sound of their own typing) because they are afraid that no one listens or values their opinions. I'll let you guess which one you fall under.
I haven't run in many races, but I have yet to have anyone (actually save you) make a stink about iPods. Are you mad about being irrelevent? Upset that no one else in the running world seems to agree or care? Is that why you resort to name calling?
Perhaps you are angry that people on this board make fun of you. Or perhaps you yearn for even this small amount of interaction, as your offline personality is too odious for anything deeper.
All I can tell you is this: in an age where obesity is epidemic and children don't get enough exercise, attempting to enforce such rules for such a fun and rewarding activity could decrease the participation. Much like Schrodinger's cat, as long as this rule stays unenforced, you can believe that running would be the better for it, and most others can believe that it would be the worse. But if you open the box, if you enforce such a rule, the cat might be alive, or it might be dead. I am glad that you aren't in a position to make that decision, as I suspect you have many a metaphorical dead cat in your wake.
I couldn't care less whether they enforce the ipod ban. I don't wear one, and have been run into in larger races by those wearing them but I can deal with that. But I do have to agree with the writer previous to DEADOCMIKE, about his comments. You make a lot of assumptions without facts. And who cares that you're a CE, salesman, doctor, navy whatever ad nauseam?
i just ran the cleveland marathon on sunday. they stated in the rules no headphones allowed. there was even an article regarding the no headphones publicized in the cleveland plain dealer that people should get used to running with out them for the marathon. that was the most that they tried to enforce anything from happening as THOUSANDS had headphones on. There was no incident to be found. let's be clear NHSenior, you can blow your own horn all you want about this issue, but it's not going to stop the fact that i'll be running a race with headphones on and laughing while i pass you up. the only incident i can foresee is that you are going to keep on making posts on here with assumptions of safety & rules with no backing of them at all.
Find me a recorded incident where someone has been injured at a race because of wearing headphones. NAME ONE! And then find me the recorded information of people getting injured in a race WITHOUT HEADPHONES. It would be interesting to see what you find.
The reason I put that in there, is because, when dealing with unreasonable people who sit perched atop their high horse and make pronouncements, it is always nice to put one's own comments and oneself in perspective. Also, he called me "Mr. Rocket Scientist" casting aspursions toward my intelligence, therefore I felt the need to put my pedigree on there, to stave off any more assumption that because I disagreed with him, I was of lesser intellect.
And, I also took a class on aerospace engineering in college, so, while I am not a rocket scientist, I did study a little rocket science.
So nyahhhh and thpthpthppppp.
That last part was joke.
<<<< Also, he called me "Mr. Rocket Scientist" casting aspursions toward my intelligence
Being intelligent has never been a guarantee that people's "Its' all about ME" selfish nature won't be the driving force when those people have an agenda. In your case, "I want to run with my headphones and I will do so even if I have to sully my own honor by knowingly signing a race waiver (agreement) which forbids the use of a banned devices."
As a race manager I have a responsibility to the runners, the rest of the race committee, the sponsoring and/or managing organization and the city or town in which an event is staged, to not put any of them in harms way either physically or financially if I can knowingly do something to mitigate potential risks. Headphones are distracting regardless of the venue and you know it. If you don't, god help us as you go about your daily work.
Does your selfish cause to wear headphones outweigh that of a greater scope? I hope you don't bring your logic to work with you.
Hello boys and girls....Batman has responded to the Bat signal...seems the Ipod Nazi has goose stepped into Gotham in his hooded sheet for more punishment and humilation..Apparantly DeadocMike is more than happy to give it to him...the Professor and Team Ipod should be along shortly to sweep up the dried up crumbs of this dense but fragile loaf of fruitcake ignorance...
And although our souless NH is certainly highly opioniated, all but equally IQ challenged..he can still string many ill prepared, grammer damaged, verbally childlike sentences together sufficiently to make any intelligent human find him instantly detestable and surprisingly clueless..His boring and tuneless song is always the same ..but what a recognizably consistent talent! He's the Clay Aiken of Know Nothingness....
Not unlike Lazerus, who palled around with NH in 30 B.C, our serial blogging bonehead has once again risen from his Uni a Bomber stupor for a few poorly worded New Hampshire pearls of nit'dom and unbidden advice on how to live life.. Can there be a more annoyingly dated, uneducated, right wing, newfangled cars frighten the horses, Archie Bunkerish, old naysayer in existence? Rhetorical question!
And NH's cherry on top of his personallity split is.. he's so obviously socially dysfunctional to the degree that intelligent discourse is only a spring board for his blockhead inablity to accept that this Ipod issue is a lost cause, there's no issue outside the dark rat infested cavern of his tiny mind..he simply substitutes Ipods for his desire to rant and rave about law breakers and hippies and how this world has gone to **** since that box with moving pictures...he's a civil war buff still sick with peace and ranting the South will rise again, we could have won IF....except his solitary war is with liberal whippersnappers and free thinkers who accept change and new ideas and can let slavery and bumps and lane changes in a race go by without murder...and he insults those who actually run and enjoy life's bounties instead of spending hours typing out for anyone who will read it "I am a cantankerous malcontent, and not too bright.. will some one acknowledge that please! "
Can I get an AMEN?!
'And, I also took a class on aerospace engineering in college, so, while I am not a rocket scientist, I did study a little rocket science.
So nyahhhh and thpthpthppppp._ EDITED TO ADD: _That last part was joke."
Ok Deadocmike...I'll give you your esoteric Schrodingers cat ..*see below..but it doesn't take Enstein or a rocket scientist to determine that was not a joke..not even out on the curve of the universe is that funny...Your in charge of cat allegories ..Batman does humour....
*Schrödinger's famous thought experiment poses the question: when does NHSenior stop existing as a mixture of psychotic states and become nutty as a Snickers Bar? The purpose of the thought experiment is to illustrate this apparent paradox: our intuition says that no observer can be in a mixture of states, yet it seems only NH can be such a mixture. Is NH required to be an observer, or does his existence in a single well-defined classical state require another external observer? Each alternative seemed absurd to Batman and Albert Einstein.
You are one odd dude. Funny, but odd.
"Odd is in the head of the beholder"..
This forum has been in existience for quite some time..NH has taken the leash from the hook and taken his yippy ignorance for a walk in this neighborhood many times.. and folks like myself and Team Ipod have gone behind with intellignt ziplocks and cleaned up the mess this nasty critter leaves behind whereever he types..it's our little contribution to Eco Smart blogging...while some might find us to be off point occasionally ..we take a small amount of pride in maintaining our sanity and humanity with brief digressions to cleanse our pallete of the bitter aftertaste of NH...enjoy dismantling him at your leisure...we do ..
DeadOcMike - Your perfect description of NoHeartSenior inspired me to jump back in the game....especially since our fearless (yes, but odd) leader - Bat Dude Parker - has returned!
I stopped engaging with the ol' crab apple pages ago, but will support others that go up against his inane, tyrannical ramblings. (Oh no! His hateful regurgitations will now be directed at me! Help, Batman!) As you can see, Dead, NotHuman doesn't play fair and is severly challenged in the social skills department.
Now where is the Prof. and Runner Chick'en........

Good morning and welcome to Summit Up, the world's only daily column that sat in awe of Wednesday night's lenticular clouds for nearly two hours before we realized we had to get back to work and put out a paper for y'all to read.
But seriously, weren't those clouds A-MAZING? We here at the Summit Up headquarters are blessed with watching the Alpenglow out our eastern windows as we crank into the evening making sure everything is proofed and ready to go for the next day. Sure is nice to have some color to end the day. We weren't the only ones to notice, either. Everyone gets just a little excited about those lenticulars (we saw a handful of people's photos here and there). Why's that? Well, the theory is the mountain wave will bring weather within a few days ... even if it's weak weather ... Guess we'll see!

I have to disagree. He had an amazing visit to UM, said UM has his favorite coaching staff, raved about the food in A2 (and he's said in numerous interviews that will be a factor) and fully said he's looking at sports management after having met the dean of that program at UM (therefore, essentially dropping engineering). It's not ear-plugging as much as an educated guess. As far as VT, they don't have his preferred major, and he has said that's a major factor. Which is why I've personally felt confident. Not saying he's a lock, but post Hand's visit, I felt more confident about him than even Peppers after his.

Faced with a dark January evening, monotonous drizzle and waves of commuters my patience is quickly waning. I'm heading to the most eagerly awaited addition on the London Craft Beer scene, the Euston Tap and telling myself it will all be worth it. Having watched English cover all sides of the Euston concourse in search of a working cash machine we head out of the station in the wrong direction and towards King Cross. I'm close to breaking at this point. Craft beer, craft beer, craft beer is the mantra in my head willing me forward. Finally, after the interventention of google maps we are heading the right way. A neon sign glows up ahead of us like a craft beer beacon.
Housed in a a remnant of the original station, the Portland stone lodge bears no resemblance to the 60s concrete blight of the modern Euston. The view as you enter through the double doors is of a bar top clear of pumps. Taking a cue from across the pond beer is dispensed from a wall of taps set into a copper backingl; the blackboards flanking each side are almost overwhelming with a choice on tap of 25+ beers and much much more in the fridge. It's difficult to know where to start. Working through the blackboards we start light with Camden Town Brewery Pale Ale and Mahrs Pils before moving to Erdinger Urweisse.
The downstairs horseshoe space is compact and you could be forgiven for missing the original narrow spiral staircase leading to the upstairs seating. A tad precarious after a few pints perhaps but pint holders are available. Upstairs is a litlle sparse but is perhaps a work in progress and lets face it – we are not here for the decor.
As the evening progresses as does the thirst for something new which leads us from the lighter starters to the heftier and to my mind superior Thornbridge Raven and Bristol Beer Factory Ultimate Stout. With only a small dent made in the ever changing list there is no chance of getting bored with whats on offer and now I know where it is there'll be no need for google maps or the mantra as "craft beer" just doesn't come close to describing whats on offer. Another landmark on the London craft beer map.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Two American women and a Maryland teen won't be sentenced until May for their roles in a foiled terror plot based in Ireland.
Colleen LaRose, a Pennsylvania woman who called herself "Jihad Jane" online, faces a life sentence for planning to kill a Swedish cartoonist.
She's been in custody since surrendering to the FBI in 2009. Her sentencing — initially set for Wednesday — is now scheduled for May 7.
Jamie Paulin-Ramirez of Colorado and Maryland teen Mohammad Hassan Khalid are due in court on May 9.
Each faces up to 15 years in prison for conspiring to provide material aid to terrorists.
Authorities say Khalid, a high school honors student from Ellicott City, had a secret life online devoted to jihadist causes.
Officials say Paulin-Ramirez helped the cause by marrying an Algerian terror suspect.

Magnesium is an essential mineral that has a hand in many vital body functions, for example releasing energy, building protein, and stabilizing bone. It is also one of several nutrients that helps keep blood pressure within a healthy range. And since magnesium is plentiful in vegetables, legumes, and whole grains, it is easy to consume enough if you are eating healthy food.
Magnesium's functions include:
Magnesium deficiency is rare because most people have large stores of this mineral in their body. However, it can be caused by diseases or medications that interfere with the body's ability to absorb magnesium. Symptoms of a magnesium deficiency include: irregular heartbeat, nausea, confusion,
depression, tingling, weakness, loss of appetite, and muscle contractions and cramps.
Conditions and medications that may lead to a magnesium deficiency include:
It's also possible to get too much magnesium. The Office of Dietary Supplements publishes tolerable upper intake levels for magnesium.
Magnesium toxicity through food intake is not a concern for most healthy people. However, people with kidney disease may develop toxicity because the kidneys are responsible for regulating the level of magnesium in the blood. Also it is possible to take too much magnesium in supplements. Symptoms of magnesium toxicity include:
Magnesium is found in a variety of foods. The best sources are legumes, nuts, whole grains, and certain vegetables. "Hard" water (which is high in dissolved minerals, specifically
and magnesium) is also a source of magnesium.
Foods that provide high levels of magnesium include:
Greater magnesium intake is associated with a lower incidence of
high blood pressure
. This is the finding of a few large clinical studies. One of these, the
(Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) study found that a diet high in magnesium, potassium, and calcium and low in sodium and fat can significantly lower blood pressure. You can get these nutrients by eating a diet rich in fresh fruits and vegetables, legumes, whole grains, and low-fat dairy foods.
Based on the growing number of studies showing a positive role for magnesium in managing blood pressure, the Joint National Committee on Prevention, Detection, Evaluation, and Treatment of High Blood Pressure recommends maintaining an adequate magnesium intake to prevent and manage high blood pressure.
Several studies have found links between magnesium status and heart health. Many of these suggest that an adequate intake of magnesium is protective of the heart. However, further study needs to be done to clarify magnesium's role.
Since a significant amount of magnesium is stored in the bones and one of magnesium's roles is to help keep bones healthy, it would make sense that magnesium would help protect bones from the thinning of
. Several studies have suggested just that—magnesium supplementation may improve bone mineral density. However it is still not clear, and more study needs to be done.
It is easy to meet your magnesium needs through foods. To increase your intake, try some of the following:

The Texas A&M – Corpus Christi Baseball team will look to get back into the win column on Tuesday evening in a non-conference game against former Southland Conference member Texas State. First pitch is slated for 6:30 p.m. at Chapman Field.
All fans without a valid Texas A&M – Corpus Christi parking pass or a disabled parking tag are required to park in the Bayside Parking Garage located on campus.
The Islanders (3-5) are coming off of a tough weekend at the Kleberg Bank College Classic where they lost a pair of 4-2 games against No. 14 Oklahoma and the Iowa Hawkeyes, as well as dropping a contest against New Mexico, a team receiving votes in multiple national polls.
Texas State (2-5) went 1-2 against Houston at home in San Marcos this past weekend, winning the opener before dropping a pair of close games on Saturday and Sunday.
Starting for the Islanders will be Tim Keller (1-1, 5-00 ERA), while Mitchell Pitts (0-0, 4.50 ERA) will get the ball for the Bobcats.
The Islanders are hitting .256 as a team compared to .183 for Texas State. The pithing staff of Texas State holds a 3.46 ERA, while Texas A&M – Corpus Christi stands at 4.62 on the season.
The last time the two teams met was on April 7, 2012, at Chapman Field. The team used a ninth-inning rally to pick up a 4-3 win, salvaging the final game after the Bobcats won the Friday and Saturday contests.
In what was a regular occurrence before Texas State moved to the Western Athletic Conference (WAC) last July, the teams will once again play multiple games throughout the season, with the Tuesday night affair being the first of four in 2013. The Islanders will travel to San Marcos in three weeks to play at Bobcat Ballpark on March 15-17 for a three-game series the week before starting Southland Conference play.
Live stats and video will be available for the game on Tuesday night by visiting www.GoIslanders.com.

Friday November 16, 2012
Augusta, GA--The Augusta RiverHawks once again fell to the Pensacola Ice Flyers at the James Brown Arena, this time 5-3. The loss extends the RiverHawks' miserable start to the season giving them a 0-6-1 record.
Patrick Knowlton was the star of the night for the Ice Flyers, putting up a hat trick with goals in each of the three periods including the game winner in the third period. Ice Flyers' Captain Leo Thomas also helped the cause with a pair of assists, while goaltender Steve Christie made 29 saves.
The RiverHawks carried the play to the Ice Flyers for most of the night, soundly outshooting their opposition by ten shots, but they were never able to garner the lead after allowing an early first period goal. Despite being down by a goal headed into the third period of play, the game was certainly in hand. However, that optimism was spoiled quickly when Knowlton scored just two minutes into the final frame, followed by a Ryan Raven marker just over five minutes later.
The RiverHawks three goals were a positive sign, as they scored more than three times in a game just one other time this season. Matt Puntureri scored his second goal of the season to even the game early in the first period. Forward Justin Daniels scored his first goal in a RiverHawks uniform in the second period, and the final goal of the game came off of the stick of Chad Ziegler, also his second of the season.
RiverHawks' newcomer Shawn Skelly showed why he was acquired by the Club earlier in the week as he helped set up two of the RiverHawks' three markers. BJ O'Brien started his fourth straight game for the RiverHawks making 17 saves.

I have been thinking about this recently and wanted to get other peoples ideas on it.
Why do most people lift their back leg up when putting? If you reduce the number of movements it should be easier to recreate. I have been trying out putting with both feet planted. I figure if my whole bottom half of my body stays stationary all I have to worry about is arm movement. My jacked up thinking is less moving parts = easier to do. Easier to do = More Consistent (less things have to go right/wrong to make/miss the putt).
When I have a steep hillside putt it feels weird releasing it. I have to think part of it is because I can't kick my back leg up.
So what do you think? Is purposely practicing flat footed putting stupid?
