International Autism Conference – Philippines – Day 5
Today is Thursday, day 2 of the conference and day 5 of our trip here in the Philippines. The session began with a recap of yesterday, given by one of the developmental pediatricians in attendance. By the way, in a country of almost 100 million people, there are less than 40 developmental pediatricians in all of the Philippines. Most are here at the conference.
It has been amazing to see the dedication and kindness in the parents, professionals and teachers in attendance. Everyone wants to learn from each other so that we can all better help families coping with autism. It's also been fascinating to see a complete lack of divisiveness in the Filipino autism community. They are united in the common goal of helping families, despite organizational affiliations, personal beliefs or social status. A model for the rest of the world with similar goals.
The morning's presentations focused on the neurobiology of autism, from genetic findings to brain structures and neuroimmunology. Young Shin Kim from Korea talked about the epidemiology of autism around the world – what we know and what we still need to learn. She began by turning the conference room of 1000 attendees into a classroom on basic epidemiology,explaining the difference between prevalence and incidence – terms that even seasoned epidemiologists can easily confuse. Simply put, prevalence measures the total number of individuals in a population with a given disorder at a single point in time. Incidence, on the other hand, describes the number of new cases in a population over a certain period of time. Dr. Kim emphasized that until we can accurately measure the incidence of autism over time, we will not be able to fully understand if we've seen a true rise in prevalence from 20 years ago. The talk concluded with an update of the first ever prevalence study being conducted by Dr. Kim in South Korea, supported by Autism Speaks funding. Based on preliminary findings, it is becoming ever clearer that autism truly knows no cultural or geographic boundaries.
Helen Tager-Flusberg, after delayed flights and an unexpected layover, arrived early this morning, just in time to speak this afternoon on language in autism. Tomorrow, Autism Speaks will be hosting an interactive discussion about our Global Autism Public Health Initiative and we can sense the excitement of the conference goers. Come back tomorrow to hear how it went!

ALAMEDA -- Khalil Mack knows the look.
It could be a problem with the rookie linebacker's footwork, or that he didn't use his hands properly to disengage from a blocker. It's at that point that Raiders defensive end Justin Tuck will step in, the same way Michael Strahan did for Tuck nine seasons ago.
Mack, the No. 5 pick in May's NFL draft, drinks it all in.
"He'll give me that nod, and it's like, 'OK, what did I do this time?,' " Mack said. "J.T. is one of the best in the game and a cool person to be around. You learn a lot just by being around him."
Tuck, 31, is an avid reader who promotes literacy for school children, but it goes beyond a fondness for books. He reads people, reads situations and is fascinated to see how a story unfolds.
The tale started in Kellyton, Alabama, (population 217), continued with big-time college football at Notre Dame and eventually led to starring role in the Big Apple where Tuck became a two-time Super Bowl champion with the New York Giants.
Tuck will be back at MetLife Stadium on Sunday when the Raiders open the regular season against the New York Jets.
"There will be some history, some memories, but we're playing the Jets and not the Giants, so it's just an away game for me," Tuck said.
A self-professed "old soul," Tuck gravitated toward veterans as a young player with the Giants and understands that younger players are now gravitating toward him.
"I can see it, and it's humbling to know that," Tuck said. "I still remember walking into the locker room my rookie year and watching Michael Strahan as a person of influence and watching how he handled things.
"For someone like Khalil Mack, I want to make sure I do my due diligence to make sure he understands what this game can do for him and he gets the best of this game the way Strahan did for me."
Raiders defensive tackle Stacy McGee, in his second season out of Oklahoma, has paid close attention.
"You're playing alongside one of the greats of the game, learning about tendencies and all the things he's seen," McGee said. "He's got so much to share with us, and not just about football, but about life. And he's very humble and approachable."
Middle linebacker Nick Roach said, "Justin has such a strong influence he can pull other players along with him.'
As detailed in an E:60 feature on ESPN, Tuck ended up at Notre Dame purely by accident. Two recruiters in the area to scout another player ended up at a gas station after taking a wrong turn. When told the recruiters were in town to look at a linebacker, the attendant assumed they were talking about Tuck and directed them to Central Coosa County High.
Tuck, a tight end, defensive end and linebacker, had a big game and was offered a scholarship that night.
After starring at Notre Dame and leaving as the all-time leader in sacks with 241/2, Tuck lasted until the third round because of a persistent knee injury. His nine seasons with the Giants included 601/2 sacks and coming up huge in Super Bowl wins over the New England Patriots after the 2007 and 2011 seasons with two sacks in each game.
Despite 11 sacks last season, the Giants made no serious effort to sign Tuck for a 10th season, and the Raiders reeled him in with a two-year deal worth $11 million.
"You've been in one place nine years, and you know what to expect," Tuck said. "Now I don't know what to expect. We're going into our first game. I don't know how certain guys will respond to adversities or successes. It's all fresh. It keeps you on your toes and it's exciting."
Tuck has instituted MMA training with his usual fitness regimen and firmly believes that "age is a number." Coach Dennis Allen said, "He can still play at a high level and is primed for a very good year."
In New York, Tuck and his wife, Lauran, founded RUSH to Literacy (Read, Understand, Succeed, Hope) to promote literacy among school children. Tuck made personal appearances at schools in New York, New Jersey and Alabama and donated more than 50,000 books.
The program is being continued in Oakland, with Tuck finalizing plans for his first appearance at a local school.
In 2011, Tuck authored a children's book called "Home Field Advantage" that included humorous accounts of his youth in Kellyton, growing up as the youngest of seven children -- including five older sisters.
Tuck said he's working on a second book that in a way mirrors his NFL career.
"I've written most of it, but I'm not finished with it yet," Tuck said.

Advice for the US from the Byzantine Empire NOV 16 2009
How did the Byzantine Empire stay around so long? A look at the answers might hold some lessons for the present-day United States.
Avoid war by every possible means, in all possible circumstances, but always act as if war might start at any time. Train intensively and be ready for battle at all times -- but do not be eager to fight. The highest purpose of combat readiness is to reduce the probability of having to fight.

Best program for the apple remote.
Cool app!
Bought it after using it for 2 minutes ;)
It's the only software i have ever paid for. I really like it
@teradome Sofa Control 2.0 beta1 is out and has solved this admitedly annoying bug. Furthermore there are a lot of great new stuff added (like virtual mouse) and worths another try. It is an indispensable component for my Mac mini HTPC.
I've informed the authors about how Sofa Control won't wake a computer from a screen saver when it's used but they have yet to apply a fix -- this is a few months old now. I haven't been able to use it since I first noticed the problem (have a Mac mini HTPC setup) and am finally giving up on it and going to Remote Buddy.
Sofa Control seems like it might be just what I have been looking for. I use VLC for it's AC3 passthrough compatability and sofa control's sofa mode looks like it has a simple full screen GUI to launch my movies. I will have to check this out.

The Day After: Office Tops the iPad App Store Chart
A day after Microsoft finally put its Office suite on Apple's iPad, the apps have quickly shot to the top of the charts.
Word, Excel and PowerPoint held the top three spots on the list of free iPad apps in Apple's App Store. And some of Microsoft's other apps enjoyed a halo bump. OneNote, a note-taking app for the iPad, moved up to the No. 4 spot, while the iPhone version of Office, which resides in one app, is No. 3. Apple shows different rankings when accessing the App Store from the iPhone vs. the iPad.
The strong debut for the iPad apps doesn't settle the question of whether Microsoft waited too long to open up its signature software to other devices. New apps often get a strong ride in the hours after their release, even if just for the curiosity factor. (Nathan Olivarez-Giles jotted down some observations after spending a few minutes with the suite yesterday at Microsoft's event. You can find full reviews here and here.)
The real test of Office's staying power will be whether people are still downloading the apps a month from now. Twitter Music, for example, shot to No. 1 when the app was released a year ago – the following month it fell to 1,486th overall. Last week, Twitter pulled the app from the shelves.
But what likely matters most to Microsoft is how many downloaders fork over the cash for a subscription to Office 365. The apps are free downloads, and anyone using them can view and show the documents. But to create and edit Office files on the iPad, people will need an Office 365 subscription — $10 a month or $100 a year. That's different than the iPhone version, where anyone can create and edit Office docs.

I got to test out the new 0-G Scorpius and 0-G Quasar. I threw a 145 and 155 of both and compared it to my seasoned 153 B-Boss. For my power (325' - 350' max) the 145 0-G Quasar was the longest and flippiest. It did not like being thrown into a headwind. It was much less stable than the 153 B-Boss. I had to throw the 145 0-G Quasar on a 20-30 degree hyzer line for it to go straight. The 155 0-G Quasar was maybe just a touch less stable than the 153 B-Boss. It too was a bit longer.
The 0-G Scorpius was fairly overstable in comparison. The 145 and 155 were pretty close in D and stability. They were nice to throw sidearm. I preferred the 155 just because I'm used to throwing 170 - 172 Quasars for sidearm. I was not able to compare the 0-G Scorpius to my normal sidearm disc.

Today marks the end of the Mayan calendar, a 5,125-year cycle whose end-date has spawned numerous theories about the world's end. Though the End of Days theories have been widely debunked, people are throwing parties around the world to assure that, if our time on Earth is ticking down, we'll at least leave it having fun - and Summit County is no exception.
Tonight, singer/songwriter Dewey Paul Moffitt and midi-saxophonist Cecil "P-Nut" Daniels bring a "Mayan Funkpocalypse" to the Goat Soup & Whiskey Tavern, 22954 U.S. 6 in Keystone. Moffitt will perform what he refers to as "funky Americana jams," influenced by the music of JJ Cale, Bob Dylan and Van Morrison. Daniels collaborated with groups such as Dirty Dozen Brass Band and Widespread Panic. Local Native American artist and blues musician Leon Joseph Littlebird opens the set. Tickets are $5; doors open at 8 p.m. and the concert starts at 9. If apocalyptic predictions are proven wrong, the Goat will feature John Hickman of Cracker, Jim Dalton of the Denver alt-country band, The Railbenders, and Roger Clyne and The Peacemakers on Saturday. Tickets are $7-10; doors open at 9 p.m. and the concert starts at 10. For more info visit www.thegoattavern.com.
Also in Keystone, Keller Williams and friends play two sold-out concerts at Warren Station Center for the Arts. Both tonight's and Saturday's shows are billed as "End of the World Parties," with refunds for Saturday's show promised to concertgoers should the world, in fact, end today. Williams is joined by Keith Moseley and Billy Nershi of The String Cheese Incident this evening; his guests Saturday include Moseley and Kyle Hollingsworth of String Cheese and Dave Watts of The Motet.
In Breckenridge, Eminence Ensemble brings their first-ever acoustic set to three20south to celebrate the world's end, returning Saturday for what they call the "full Eminence Ensemble madness." Based in Boulder, the five-piece progressive electronic rock group combines elements of jazz, rock, funk, classical, hip-hop, reggae and electronica. Tickets are $10 in advance at www.three20south.com and doors open at 9 p.m.
On the other side of the pass, Alma locals are betting that the world won't end, or at least that it will survive the apocalypse. Alma's Only Bar, 12 S. Main St., hosts a free "New Beginning Party" tonight at 9:30 p.m. featuring the reggae/rock band Coral Thief. The band is currently recording its first full-length album, due to be released in the summer of 2013, and gearing up to start a three-month winter tour covering 20 states."We're a very high-energy band that gets the crowd dancing and having a great time," said vocalist David Baty. "No one leaves disappointed. We have a huge passion for what we do and it shows." Fans can download the group's self-recorded EP, "I before E," at music.coralthiefband.com for free; just enter 0 in the price. Geoffrey Braswell, associate professor of anthropology and leading Maya scholar at the University of California, San Diego discussed mankind's obsession with the end of the world with National Public Radio: "The idea that the world will end soon is a very strong belief in Western cultures," he said. "The Maya, we don't really know if they believed the world would ever end." Just in case, there won't be any shortage of opportunities to celebrate the date.

About the Book
"Sara Creasy is a new writer to watch….Creasy's imaginatively constructed universe draws the reader in."
—Vonda N. McIntyre
Sara Creasy burst onto the sf scene with Song of Scarabaeus—prompting Publishers Weekly to praise her as, "a significant new talent," and her novel as, "a brilliantly conceived debut," in a starred rave review. With Children of Scarabaeus she returns us to her boldly imagined universe for another ingenious blending of rich characterization, breathtaking science fiction adventure, fascinating speculation, and engrossing romance in the vein of Linnea Sinclair and Ann Aguirre. Children of Scarabaeus cements Creasy's reputation as one of sf's most exciting new practitioners—as cypherteck Edie Sha'nim and her bodyguard lover Finn uncover an insidious scheme by the tyrannical Crib empire that involves the enslavement of children and the destruction of worlds.
The crib is everywhere . . .
Edie Sha'nim believes she and her bodyguard lover, Finn, could find refuge from the tyranny of the Crib empire by fleeing to the Fringe worlds. But Edie's extraordinary cypherteck ability to manipulate the ecology of evolving planets makes her far too valuable for the empire to lose. Recaptured and forced to cooperate—or else she will watch Finn die—Edie is shocked to discover the Crib's new breed of cypherteck: children. She cannot stand by while the oppressors enslave the innocent, nor can she resist the lure of Scarabaeus, the first world she tried to save, when researchers discover what appears to be an evolving intelligence.
But escape—for Edie, for Finn, and for the exploited young—will require the ultimate sacrifice . . . and a shocking act of rebellion.
Educator and Librarian Resources
Critical Praise
"Song of Scarabaeus is an enjoyable, fast-paced slice of adventure science fiction, infused with a measured dose of romance. The technological and political background is revealed with a deft hand, never getting in the way of the action." — BookPage

I love the symmetry here, both sets are about the same length. Stash > IDK caught my attention. And then Fluffhead, which I am not usually inclined towards is a real rager.
The Bowie is a must hear. A+ Theme with great jamming and great execution throughout. And then an emotionally stirring Slave to finish things off.
Powerful stuff. I love this tour.

Starting in 1910, an age when it was rare for women to wear make-up much less run their own businesses, Elizabeth Arden opened her first spa on Fifth Avenue and began to build one of the world's first global beauty brands. During WWII she developed cosmetics for the women who served in the military. And in 1946 she became one of the first women to ever be featured on the cover of Time Magazine. As an entrepreneur, a women's advocate, and a champion for holistic beauty, Elizabeth Arden was in many ways a 21st century woman, whose beliefs seem more relevant today than ever before. Continue the Elizabeth Arden tradition by discovering the skin care, cosmetics and fragrance collections.
Recognizing the importance of quality skin care for women during a time when men were at the forefront of everything, Elizabeth Arden captured the world's attention with the creation of one of the first luxury collections of beauty formulas. Taking a holistic approach to the concept of beautiful skin, she incorporated her belief that a healthy body encourages younger looking skin into her beauty care formulas.

OAKLAND -- A Los Angeles-area long-term care facility that had been willing to accept Jahi McMath has withdrawn its offer, leaving a New York hospital as the only apparent option for the brain-dead girl as a 5 p.m. Monday deadline to remove her from a ventilator approaches, her mother and attorney said Sunday.
"I just found out that the facility my daughter was supposed to be going to has backed out," Jahi's mother, Nailah Winkfield, wrote on the family's fundraising website early Sunday. "My family and I are still striving to find a location that will accept her in her current condition."
That leaves an unnamed New York hospital "as our last, last hope," Jahi's lawyer, Christopher Dolan, said. The facility is run by "an organization that believes in life," Dolan told The Associated Press.
But in a statement issued Sunday, a spokeswoman for Children's Hospital Oakland said its doctors said no one from any other medical organization has been in contact with it to discuss a transfer of the 13-year-old.
"Our physicians have yet to receive a single call or message from the facility under consideration," Cynthia Chiarappa wrote. "We have been waiting since Friday -- when we were first told by the family lawyer of a potential facility that might accept the body of Jahi -- for a call from a physician to discuss with our medical staff what may be necessary to transfer the deceased."
Dolan said the unnamed Los Angeles-area facility withdrew its offer because it didn't want media attention or to jeopardize its relationship with its doctors, who refused to treat someone who's been declared brain-dead.
A Sunday afternoon fundraiser at Church of All Faiths in Oakland that had been planned to help pay for a possible airlift was canceled, though people continued to stop by and offer prayers.
Derrick Mann, pastor of Yeshua Ministries of Hayward, said, "We definitely don't want to raise funds for something that is not ironclad."
Doctors at Children's Hospital have refused to perform a tracheotomy for breathing and insert a gastric tube for feeding, procedures that are needed in order to transfer Jahi, saying it is unethical to perform surgery on a deceased person.
"Discussion about performing medical procedures upon a dead body presents unusual and complicated questions. Until there is a definite commitment by a facility to accept Jahi's body upon specified terms, I don't think I can tackle those issues," hospital lawyer Doug Straus wrote in a letter to Dolan that Chiarappa released Sunday afternoon.
Dolan did not immediately respond to a message. Straus also wrote that the hospital needs to be presented with a "lawful transportation plan" and written approval from the coroner to send her body out of state.
Several doctors, including one appointed by a Superior Court judge, have determined that Jahi is brain-dead and will not recover. Alameda County Superior Court Judge Evelio Grillo on Tuesday ruled that Children's Hospital may remove Jahi from a ventilator at 5 p.m. Monday unless an appeal is filed.
Jahi underwent tonsil surgery and two other procedures at the hospital Dec. 9 to treat sleep apnea. After she awoke from the operation, her family said, she started bleeding heavily from her mouth and went into cardiac arrest. She was later declared brain-dead, but her family, saying they believe she is still alive, has fought to keep her on a ventilator even as doctors at Children's Hospital urged them to accept her death.
"The family has been told by doctors and by a judge that Jahi McMath is dead. And that is very sad, but there has to be some recognition that the situation is not going to change," a spokesman for the hospital, Sam Singer, has said.
Her family is fighting on, and launched a fundraising drive on the website GoFundMe to pay for a possible transfer. As of 5:30 p.m. Sunday, the site reported $21,110 had been raised. The family had set a goal of $20,000.

The Citizens Board of the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency hears an update Tuesday on a major study on a water quality standard meant to protect wild rice.
Shannon Lotthammer, director of the agency's environmental analysis division, says the presentation will let the board know where things stand halfway into the two-year study, which the MPCA expects to complete late next year.
Minnesota's current standard limits sulfate discharges into waters that produce wild rice to 10 milligrams per liter. The rule has been in place since 1973 and it's based on research from the 1940s. Mining interests and wastewater treatment plant operators have sought to loosen the standard.
After the study is complete, the agency will decide whether the current standard needs to be changed in light of the new science.

Tea Party Has Upper Hand in Mississippi Runoff
The trash-talking started early Wednesday as the Republican primary in the Mississippi Senate race appeared headed to a June 24 runoff, signaling a brutal three-week homestretch in the epic battle between the establishment and insurgent wings of the GOP.
The Club for Growth, the outside group backing Republican challenger Chris McDaniel, called for incumbent Sen. Thad Cochran to throw in the towel.

"The rationale for his candidacy ended yesterday," said Club for Growth President Chris Chocola in a written statement Wednesday morning. "He should do the honorable thing and decline to contest the runoff."
Absent official word from either candidate, allies of Mr. Cochran declared they weren't backing down. "Time to roll up the sleeves and win this," said Rob Collins, executive director of the National Republican Senatorial Committee in an e-mail. "We are going to stand with Sen. Cochran," said Rob Engstrom, national political director of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.
UPDATE: Sen.Cochran said Wednesday he plans to stay in the race.
But even supporters of Mr. Cochran acknowledged the challenge ahead. Runoffs typically attract low turnout, giving upstarts the edge over veterans. Seventeen-term Rep. Ralph Hall of Texas became the first incumbent to lose a primary this year when he was defeated by U.S. Attorney John Ratcliffe in a runoff. Texas Republicans also deprived Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst of another term when they favored state Sen. Dan Patrick in the May 27 runoff.
"No doubt we are swimming upstream in the current political environment," said Mississippi Republican committeeman Henry Barbour, who has helped lead a super PAC backing Mr. Cochran. "We have to make sure Mississippi voters understand what's at stake."
Outside conservative groups that target sitting Republicans deemed too moderate, including the Club for Growth, the Senate Conservatives Fund and FreedomWorks, have heavily invested in Mr. McDaniel as their best chance of knocking off a congressional incumbent. "We plan to double down on our efforts to support the grassroots ground game in Mississippi," said FreedomWorks President Matt Kibbe.
Veteran Republican strategist Mike Murphy had this to say on Twitter about the six-term, 76-year-old incumbent's prospects against his 41-year-old challenger, referring to Mr. Cochran's failure to appear in public after the polls closed Tuesday night: "Bad sign that poor Thad didn't speak. Fight might be out of him now. Next few days will tell… Runoff dynamics are uphill for him."

About Us > Newsroom > Researcher Pippa Marrack, PhD, Named to Colorado Women's Hall of Fame
Pippa Marrack, PhD, world-renowned immunologist at National Jewish Health, has been named to the Colorado Women's Hall of Fame. She will be officially inducted to the hall of fame at a ceremony on Thursday, March 18.
Dr. Marrack and nine other winners of the honor, "exemplify the best qualities of the people who have built and sustained Colorado," said Dr. Christine Johnson, Chair of the Board of Directors for the Colorado Women's Hall of Fame. "They will join the other 112 outstanding women who have shared vision, foresight and the power of accomplishment to become inductees in the Hall of Fame."
For more than 30 years, Dr. Marrack's research has focused primarily on the T cell, an immune-system cell that recognizes foreign substances in the body and orchestrates the adaptive immune response. Her work has been done in partnership with her husband, John Kappler, Ph.D.
Among other accomplishments, Drs. Kappler and Marrack discovered the T-cell receptor, the crucial element that recognizes foreign substances in the body, and superantigens, extremely virulent toxins that cause an overwhelming and disastrous immune response, such as occurs in toxic shock syndrome.
In recent years, Drs. Marrack and Kappler have focused on understanding memory cells, the T cells that help jumpstart an immune response the second time the immune system encounters a pathogen, and how additives to vaccines, called adjuvants, enhance the development of memory T cells. They also study how T cells bind to and recognize antigens in autoimmunity and allergy. These and other discoveries have made Drs. Marrack and Kappler two of the most influential immunologists in the world.
Over the years they have won numerous honors, most recently election to the Institute of Medicine, considered one of the highest honors in the fields of health and medicine.

Bucs toss no-hitter; Sprowl gets 800th win
Published: Sunday, April 7, 2013 at 3:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, April 7, 2013 at 12:02 a.m.
BIRMINGHAM | Shelton State Community College pitchers Evan Miller and Stephen Baggett combined for a no-hitter and head coach Bobby Sprowl earned his 800th career win as the Shelton State Bucs swept Lawson State in a doubleheader Saturday afternoon.
Shelton State (20-19, 14-6 ACCC) won the opener 4-0 and took the nightcap 7-2 to climb over the .500 mark for just the second time this season.
In the opener, Miller, a freshman left-hander, retired all 18 batters he faced and struck out three to improve to 1-1 on the season. It was his longest outing of the season. Baggett pitched the final three innings to record his second save. He struck out three and walked two.
J.C. Wilhite went 2-for-4 with one stolen base to lead the Bucs on offense. Jake Vickerson was 1-for-3 with one RBI and Burke Haffner added a solo home run.
Freshman left-hander Dillion Williams (4-2) threw six scoreless innings and recorded nine strikeouts in the nightcap to give Sprowl his 800th career win with the Bucs.
Sophomore shortstop Trevor Sprowl contributed to his father's 800th win by going 1-for-4 with one stolen base and two runs scored.
Windham Jackson, Wilhite and Vickerson all had two hits in the nightcap for the Bucs. Jackson was 2-for-3 with one double and one RBI, while Vickerson scored one run and Wilhite drove in a run. Josh Winningham was 1-for-2 with an RBI.
The Bucs return home on Thursday, April 11 when they host rival Wallace-Hanceville in a double header beginning at 3 p.m.

Mobile Banking in Egypt
By M. Evans, L. Hammes, W. Herberger, B. Berg, T. El Wahsh, D. Rassloff
Banking in Post-Revolution Egypt Gets Upwardly "Mobile"
Without mobile phones, the Mubarak regime might still be thriving today. But political reform and social change are not the only ripple effects of widespread mobile usage. Mobile banking stands to create a dramatic new stimulus to the Egyptian economy. In a country where remittances from foreign workers contribute US$9.5 billion annually to the economy (Bloomberg News, 2010) and transfers between relatives within the country are common, one might think that transferring funds would be easy and convenient. Transferring funds should be an accessible service in a banking system that is well regulated and thrives on the competition between 39 banks. But for most Egyptians, these basic, common transactions are far from straightforward.

Mad Bull M120 Spring - Quantity:
Registered User Login:
- ...yes....i put this for fun in a echo1 m4..i did it fast..dang bb flies like nobody's buisness..but- i paid a lot more than today's price of 12 bucks....installed over a month ago..shoots like crazy..i paid about nothing for the used m4..i will report..as the fun continues..i made a label "mad bull equipt" for the flat side of the barrel..again this is a panic sport even with the slight barrel wobble ..my fault..from ..just learning to air-smith...10Q..jeffer
- Great UpgradeThis spring is a great upgrade for AEGs anywhere from JG guns to TM. The power gained easily makes up for the lost RPM, and is only $16! Buy it, you won't be sorry.
Note: Cheaper AEGs will wear out quicker with this spring as the gears aren't strong enough.
- Simply SpectacularThis is one of the greatest springs you can get for your gun. The incredible FPS more than makes up for the lost RPM. Just make sure your gun can take it - lower end MPEGs will get run down fast as the stock gears and motors can't take it. If you have an Echo1-grade or higher quality gun, you won't be sorry.
Are you kidding? It's one big pro.
High Quality
Great Power
Price (look at it; amazing)
German Made
Marui Compatable
Color Coded
Get this spring for more power! You won't believe how good your gun will shoot with this! It will be like getting an entirely new gun for $16!
- AWESOMEthis spring will bring your gun's average fps up to 370fps-420fps. that really good
- Made Out Of Premium Quality German Piano WireMad Bull upgrade springs are rated to have consistent power for up to 100,000 shots!
Each spring is treated with a protective hard coating which is color coded to the springs power.
P.S. Velocity can vary depending on the gun's barrel length, compression and overall condition. The M120 spring produces on average 380-410 fps using a .2g BB.
The velocity does not go up and down like other m120 & s120 upgrade springs!!!(Chrono'd it)!
- GreatI had never heard of this spring before but i read a review that suggested getting this along with my gun so i checked it out and it is amazing. i'm not too handy when it comes to upgrading my guns and fixing them but this wasn't hard at all and it's well worth it for 16 dollars you make everyone else fear you on the battlefield like jeffer said in his review this is a panic sport just tell people you upgraded your gun to a much higher FPS and suddenly everyone is afraid of your gun it's great!
5 stars must buy for anyone who wants a better gun.
- 380-390 fps!!!I recently popped one of these into my ECHO1 X36C and had it chronoed, just as stated in the description it helps gain 380 fps. I'm currently doing 380-390 with stock internals except for this and a steel spring guide (WHICH IS A MUST). don't expect to just stick this into your gun with a stock guide - it will break, and it's a pain as is without that happening. Oh and if you're an extreme airsofter and play more than 5 times a month, i suggest looking into a version 3 gearbox just in case. Otherwise, GREAT spring!
- Amazing This spring is the very best. I have one in my KWA KG36C and it really rips.
- INCREDIBLEI decided to go with this spring because i like to shoot in full auto and i wanted power without tearing up the inside of my aeg's. Mission accomplished. This spring is awesome. The power increase is just punishing. If you want to boost the power of your aeg without spending over $150 bucks on a new gear set and motor, and the list goes on, then this is it. At only $15 bucks it's a no brainer, as long as you know how to take out your gear box and open it. From there it's real easy, just pull out the old spring and put in this new one. I strongly suggest getting this spring to anyone who wants to upgrade their aeg and still wants to shoot full auto without hurting your aeg, and not to mention it's a madbull, so you know you're getting quality stuff.
- Dawn of the DEADI had all but given up hope on my first real airsoft gun. My Classic Army MP-5 was as near death as any I have seen. Anemic is what I had said about her. It was shooting about 210fps and accuracy was poor at best. So I figured it could not get worse. I bought this spring and put it in.
I got me a NEW GUN!! I am hitting soda cans at 150ft., and punching through both sides of the can at 10ft. It's like having a new gun. This 16 dollar outlay saved me big time.
PRO: Great Price
Color Coded
CON: Not For The NON-Mechanically Inclined
Conclusion: If you know your way around an all metal gear box, and you want serious performance, BUY THIS SPRING.


text: I have a Jacuzzi Echo Z255, 2005 model year. I am getting an OH message on the topside. I killed power and flushed and cleaned the filter. After about an hour, I reinstalled the filter and turned the unit back on again. Temp set at 100, it read 96, didn't even turn the pump on before the OH started flashing again. Any thoughts?

OAKLAND -- Steve Kerr believes the most important thing he's learned in sports is that the relationship between the coach, general manager and owner determines how an organization overcomes adversity.
So during his interview with the Warriors, Kerr shared how he could have handled relationships differently while serving as general manager in Phoenix. He said co-owner Joe Lacob and general manager Bob Myers admitted their own mistakes.
Kerr at his news conference Tuesday had Myers beside him on the dais and Lacob seated in the front row looking satisfied two weeks after a messy divorce as they fired Mark Jackson after back-to-back playoff appearances.
"I've seen it firsthand where in the organizations where there was a lot of success, those relationships were really sound and solid, and that's something that I know we're going to have here and we're going to work towards," Kerr said.
Myers recalled how when he was an agent he had good dealings while Kerr was with the Suns.
"I knew that what I was getting was the truth, and you were getting someone on the other end of the phone that understood it was important for all sides to be aligned for you to have success," Myers said.
The Warriors fell in love with Kerr during a three-hour interview in Oklahoma City the Tuesday after firing Jackson, with Lacob raving about his preparation and adding, "He knocked the socks off everybody."
Kerr even left Warriors officials with a 16-page document for their perusal during the flight home that outlined his philosophies. A former Chicago Bulls sharpshooter who believes Stephen Curry is the best shooter he's ever seen, Kerr wants to take pressure off the Warriors star with a free-flowing offense that emphasizes ball movement.
It was an interview that the Warriors at one point believed might not happen, with Myers saying Kerr rebuffed them initially and told the team to look at others.
Kerr was focused on reuniting with former mentor Phil Jackson and becoming the New York Knicks' coach. But while Kerr wanted to meet in person with his family before making a decision, he got sidetracked while broadcasting playoff games for TNT. The San Diego resident reconsidered and decided to interview with the Warriors.
"I felt like it was the girl you're always asking out on a date, and she just keeps saying no, and finally she says yes, and you're surprised," Myers said, laughing.
"For us, it wasn't really important why it changed."
Myers said the five-time NBA champion answered an interview question about his lack of coaching experience not by shying away, but saying he would surround himself with people who could help him get better as a coach.
Kerr said he wanted some head coaching experience on his assistant coaching staff and nobody who would be a yes man.
"It was confidence combined with humility, and we love that combination of Steve," Myers said.
Kerr conceded that while he was confident he would get comfortable as a coach, it would take some time. At least one Warriors player felt similarly.
"They say he's ready for the job, but it will be interesting," center Andrew Bogut told a radio station in his native Australia. "There will be some obviously teething problems along the way just to hold your own."
Kerr said the reception he's received from players has been "fantastic." He stopped short of agreeing with Mark Jackson's contention in the wake of his firing that the team was "championship-caliber," saying instead it was "very good."
"Let's put together a strong team that can win and play on both sides of the ball, which the Warriors have established, but can have a shot year after year and be consistent," Kerr said, adding that the goal wasn't a certain number of wins.
"Everybody on the management side is on board with that vision of we've got a chance to be really good for the next decade. Let's go take a swing at it every year."
Said Lacob: "I think Steve said it so well. This is not just about next year. It's about the next five to 10 years. Our goal ultimately is to win a championship. Let's not forget that. I don't think that Bob or Steve is unaware of that. They all know that. We want that. I want that, and we're not going to stop until we get it. And we will get it."

A new sports shop opening at 611 University Ave. is causing controversy because it will sell guns--a retail item that apparently hasn't been sold in Los Gatos for quite some time. But late last week, owners were busy getting the store ready for the Templar Sports grand opening.
In addition to handguns, shotguns and hunting rifles, Templar will sell fishing equipment, sports apparel and related books.
"They're going to teach classes in tying flies and how to fly fish, offer classes on fly fishing destinations and hold seminars on safe firearm handling," Templar spokesman Jonathan Knowles said. "Many of the classes will be free."
Knowles said the store will also have a service and repair shop, reflecting the owners' experience.
"The shop manager has 35 years experience servicing fish and game, the Santa Clara County Crime Lab, the sheriff's department and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms," Knowles said. "I'm thrilled people with this level of experience are doing this. I believe there's a market for this in Los Gatos. We have lots of people in town who hunt and fish."
One of the owners is a member of the Los Gatos-Monte Sereno Police Department and another is a town native.
Knowles said the store's front door has been secured to prevent break-ins and steel hardened concrete posts will "make it impossible for a car to smash through" the building. "We have to stress it's a sporting good store," he said. "Criminals aren't going into stores like this to buy guns. They're buying them on the streets."
Even so, residents like Deborah Weinstein, who has two young children, don't like the idea of guns being sold in town.
"While I realize it's a legal business and technically nothing was required prior to issuing the appropriate permits, I feel as a member of this town, a very family-focused community, that we should have had the tools in place to review this type of business prior to its installation," Weinstein said at the Dec. 10 town council meeting. "I'm requesting that a member of our town council initiate and fast-track new legislation to either prohibit or at the very least require a conditional-use permit for this type of retail."
Town manager Greg Larson said his staff had "no discretion" to require a review of Templar Sports when it applied for a business license.
"Retail enterprises are allowed as a matter of legal right under existing zoning at that location, which is not in the downtown business district nor a residentially zoned property," Larson said. "There are no existing requirements in the town code for a conditional use permit or any other discretionary approval for this retailer at that location. Consequently, there is no existing authority by which town staff, the planning commission and/or the town council could deny the operation of this retailer at this location."
Templar Sports is located just south of Blossom Hill Road, surrounded by a tow truck company and several auto body shops. Martino Interiors is nearby, as is Bob Gillmore's Florist, Ti's Salon and the University Avenue Barber Shop. Los Gatos Ballet is set to move in down the street at 630 University Ave., so there will be little children coming into and going from the neighborhood.
Weinstein, meantime, said she moved from Oakland six years ago to protect her children from being exposed to guns and hopes there will be no "gun imagery" in Templar's store signage.
Los Gatos native Mark Church recalled that just down the street from Los Gatos High School there was once a store that sold guns where Summit Bicycles is located today.
"It was there in the 1960s," Church said. "It was called Wildcats Sports and Hobby Shop. They sold model cars and trains in one half and the other half sold guns."
Knowles stressed that no one under 18 will be allowed into Templar Sports unless they're accompanied by an adult or guardian. Those who do buy guns from Templar will undergo state-required fingerprinting, background checks and waiting periods.
"They are a federally licensed firearms dealer," Knowles said. "I want businesses in Los Gatos that care about our town and community and these guys do on all fronts."
Templar says it will be supporting the Wounded Warrior Project and the Los Gatos-Monte Sereno Police Foundation. Knowles, who is president of the police foundation, says no contributions have been made yet to that organization, nor is he being paid to act as spokesman for the group.

MOREHEAD, Ky. -- The Morehead State men's basketball team led for more than 36 minutes on Thursday night at Johnson Arena, but Belmont used an 11-2 game-ending run to escape with a 64-63 Ohio Valley Conference victory.
The Bruins improve to 16-4 overall, 7-0 in the conference and 6-3 on the road with their seventh straight win, while the Eagles slip to 10-11 on the season, 4-3 in league play and 7-3 at home. It was the first meeting between the two schools in men's hoops.
Belmont's only lead was at 2-0 until the 1:13 mark of the second half. That's when junior J.J. Mann drilled a three from the right wing to give the Bruins a one-point advantage. MSU missed its final two shots of the evening and the visitors hung on for the victory.
Senior Ian Clark tallied a game-high 20 points for Belmont, while Mann added 11 points and five assists. Clark and senior Kerron Johnson handed out four assists apiece, while senior Trevor Noack collected a game-best three steals for the Bruins.
Junior Bakari Turner led four Morehead State players in double figures with 16 points for his fifth consecutive performance of 10+. Senior Milton Chavis contributed 12, while junior Chad Posthumus and sophomore Angelo Warner added 11 each.
Posthumus also pulled down a game-best 10 rebounds for his second Division I double-double. Senior Devon Atkinson and junior Drew Kelly shared team-high honors with three assists apiece, while junior Taariq Muhammad recorded two steals.
Belmont knocked down 62 percent (16-of-26) of its field-goal attempts in the second half en route to 50 percent (23-of-46) for the contest. The Bruins made 33 percent (7-of-21) from three-point range, including 50 percent (6-of-12) after intermission.
Morehead State drilled 44 percent (21-of-48) from the floor, but only 38 percent (9-of-24) in the second stanza. The Eagles connected on 37 percent (7-of-19) from long distance and 74 percent (14-of-19) from the free-throw line.
Morehead State posted a 36-21 rebounding advantage, including 11-3 on the offensive glass. The Eagles registered a 16-6 upper hand in second-chance points, but committed 20 turnovers which led to 10 steals and 17 points.
The affair featured just two ties and a pair of lead changes. Morehead State's biggest lead of 14 points came with 2:39 left on the first-half clock. The Eagles turned in an 18-6 spurt to grab a 12-point lead just 10 minutes in.
Belmont's largest advantage of two points came just 32 seconds in, but the Bruins chipped away at the deficit throughout the second half and converted on their last attempt from the floor to sneak away with the victory.
MSU wraps up its OVC home weekend on Saturday vs. Tennessee State. The contest will follow an MSU vs. TSU women's game, which begins at 5:15 p.m. ET. Live video, audio and statistics will be available via MSUEagles.com.

hey, i just recently installed the PS3 media server, having used TVersity before, but this server is able to do things that annoyed me about TVersity, mainly transcode with subtitles, however i have come across a problem i haven't been able to find a solution for, whenever i play certain MKV files the audio and video is completely out of sync, it looks like the videostream is playing too fast, but the audio stream just fine, is there any workaround for this? if it is just an offset in the audio and video stream, then is there a way to fix this? i have tried searching the forum for a solution, but i found none, that is why i write this post.
Forgot to add a few things, i am playing the files transcoded, using MEncode, and i have tested the files in question on my cocmputer just to test that it wasn't the files themselves that were damaged
Best regards

A month of Releases
By barton808 on Apr 17, 2007
Its Spring and Linux releases are blooming like flowers.
RHEL 5 -- The season actually kicked off the last week of Winter with the release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 on March 14. Originally targeted for the '06 Christmas season, this release features integrated Xen virtualization support similar to what Novell's SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 delivered last summer.
Debian 4.0 -- Several weeks later, and after a 21 month development cycle, Debian GNU/Linux 4.0 was the next release to debut. Debian 4.0, code named "Etch," was also meant to arrive in time to make it under the holiday tree but instead endured a long and winding road to release including the creation of a Dunc-Tank. Dunc ['"Development Under Numismatic Control" -- which could equally be called "coin-operated coding"'] was put in place to make sure that Debian hit their December 4 release date. Needless to say, they didn't. Who knows when or if 4.0 would have been released without Dunc tank but one things for sure, it did cause a whole bunch of ruckus within the Debian community.
CentOS 5 -- Most recently, near the end of last week, CentOS (Community ENTerprise Operating System) released CentOS 5, a release which bears an uncanny resemblance to RHEL5. Actually its billed as being a "100% compatible " rebuild of Red Hat Enterprise Linux and is based on the upstream release 5 including both server and client packages.
Ubuntu 7.04 -- Which brings us to the present and the eve of the eve of the release of Ubuntu's until-now-known "Feisty Faun." Feisty, which will be released Thursday under the humorless moniker of Ubuntu 7.04, will include performance improvements, improved availability of network services, secure remote network services, UltraSparc improvements (Yea!), updated LAMP stack, updated cluster suites and virtualization. More importantly on Thursday you'll get to see if we made good on our promise made back in November to include Glassfish (the free and open source Java EE 5 implementation) in the next Ubuntu release.
Tune in Thursday to see if the Faun comes out caffeinated. :)

Eventually — GC
Any my personal favourite:

ingredient information
Barley Grits Whole Grain Organic
Barley is a very important grain in the world today. It is very versatile in every way. It has been well adapted through its evolution. It has a very mysterious and much debated beginning. Now however, barely has become well known and so have its many uses. Barley, which is of the genus Hordeum, is a cereal that belongs to the grass family Poaceae. Barley has many different varieties. The most common is Hordeum vulgare, which is a six-rowed type of barley that has a spike notched on opposite sides with three spikelets on each notch. At each notch there is a flower or floret that later develops into a kernel. Hordeum distichum is a two-rowed type of barley that has central florets producing kernels and it has lateral florets that are sterile. Lastly there is Hordeum irregulare which has fertile central florets and different arrangements of sterile and fertile lateral florets. Organic food is produced by farmers who emphasize the use of renewable resources and the conservation of soil and water to enhance environmental quality for future generations. Organic meat, poultry, eggs, and dairy products come from animals that are given no antibiotics or growth hormones. Organic food is produced without using most conventional pesticides; fertilizers made with synthetic ingredients or sewage sludge; bioengineering; or ionizing radiation. Before a product can be labeled "organic," a Government-approved certifier inspects the farm where the food is grown to make sure the farmer is following all the rules necessary to meet USDA organic standards. Companies that handle or process organic food before it gets to your local supermarket or restaurant must be certified,

News 12 at 6 o'clock / Tuesday, Jan. 29, 2013
AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW) -- Richmond County TB Control will continue the testing for Butler High School students and staff on Wednesday. Thursday and Friday will be reading the results.
Even though many students have already been tested, parents are more than willing the second time around.
"Second opinion never hurts," said grandmother Joyce White.
White's grandson is a senior at Butler High School and is one of the students that has already been tested for tuberculosis.
"He got checked at his primary care physician's office," White explained.
When they got the results it said, "[They] were negative. So he was cleared of having the disease."
That could still be true, but the health department is urging everyone -- even those with negative skin tests -- to get tested again.
That's because TB can take up to three months to show up positive on a skin test.
So, Richmond County TB Control is conducting a second round of testing.
"I think that's their way of ensuring everyone is given the proper treatment, proper medication to prevent any spread," said Superintendent Frank Roberson.
As of December, nearly 700 students, teachers and staff had been tested. Of those, 135 were found positive.
But doctors say having a positive skin test is not the same as having the active disease.
"The bottom line is if it's a positive TB skin test, this does not mean your child is going to get active disease and have this horrible infection that has to land him in the hospital," said Infectious Disease Doctor James Wilde.
So far, there have only been three cases of students with active tuberculosis.
The testing this week is to make sure that number hasn't risen.
"Things change, so it's good to go ahead and have that second testing done. I suggest that all parents look in to having their children tested at least a second time," White said.
According to the Health Department, the three students with active tuberculosis disease have a strain that is resistant to the most common drug used to treat the disease. They're now being treated with other drugs.
At the school today, at least 100 people were tested.
News 12 will keep you updated on the latest testing results.
