Tonight is a Student Rush game. The Pens Ice Crew handed out hot dogs to rushers. There were also prizes and a DJ for the students' entertainment. These rushers have it easy. Back in my day there were no hot dogs, pizza, players or foam fingered TV hosts. And I had to walk uphill to Mellon Arena both ways through 8 inches of snow.

Steve Mears is the original gangsta of the Game Day Report.
Sounds heard around the locker room...
Tyler Kennedy
On his status for tonight's game against the Colorado Avalanche:
It's still a game time decision so we'll see throughout the day. I feel pretty good. I'm ready so we'll see what happens this afternoon.
On if he feels like he can play tonight:
Yeah. I think I'm ready so we'll see. I'll talk to Dan (Bylsma) today and see what he says.
On if the decision to play is more his or Bylsma's:
I think it's more mine, to make sure I'm ready, make sure I'm confident and that I'm ready to come back.
On how long it's been since he had headaches:
It's been quite a while.
On how long it feels like the recovery process has taken:
It feels like it's taking forever. It's a process and I know that. It's one of those things where you've got to be mentally strong and just kind of battle through it.
Matt Cooke
On Semyon Varlamov:
He's a very active goalie. We've got to get some traffic around him.
On what Tyler Kennedy adds to the team:
He's a skilled player that helps our power play and helps in the five-on-five fight. He's a guy with experience, a guy that's been there and a guy that's played.
On a player coming back from injury:
I think when they come back they're refreshed, which is most important. Then they can come back and contribute.
Craig Adams
On Colorado's top-ranked power play and what makes it dangerous:
We haven't watched the tape on them yet, but talking a little bit this morning, I know they've got some very offensive players, creative guys and guys that are willing to attack the seams and shoot pucks on net. They work mostly off the low cycle on both sides, and we're going to watch a little bit more tape. I think it's just their willingness to attack.
On facing a team who leads the league in road wins and points:
To be honest, we don't really put a lot of stock in those sorts of things. If a team comes in here with a bad road record, it's not like we're going to prepare any differently or think that we're going to change our game at all. Our game doesn't change much from game to game. Obviously we make little adjustments here and there, and while we'd like to know what they're doing, but mostly it's about us.
On if this game is a measuring stick for their penalty kill:
I think our goal every night is to kill off the ones we take. To be honest, I didn't know they had the best power play in the league until you guys just told me. It's not like football, where you've got seven days to think about it. We talked about it a little bit this morning, we're going to go in and watch a little bit more and come up with a game plan of what we'd like to do and see if we can execute.

Coachspeak with Dan Bylsma…
On Colorado:
We don't see the Avalanche very often other than late night TV. They have a 6-2-1 road record. They've played really well on the road. Their power play on the road is over 40 percent. It's something we need to be aware of tonight. Their young forwards Duchene, Stastny and Landeskog drive this team with skill and speed. We have to be aware of those guys on the ice. Their old steeled anchor, Hejduk is a power play guy and veteran guy among those skilled forwards that drive their team offensively.
On Jeffrey and his conditioning stint:
Dustin went down (to WBS) to get more minutes and more game situations, different roles, power play and top minutes, penalty kill, defensive situations. He's still rehabbing his knee. He needs to rehab that knee. Playing those minutes showed he needs to rehab. That's why he didn't play in that third game. That'll be part of it for Dustin. He needs to get strong and continue to rehab while he proresses.
On Colorado's top-ranked PP:
They don't have simple players, but they have a simplistic approach. They get the puck to the net. They get the shot up top. Then they have skilled players with a unit anchored by Hejduk. The other while O'Reilly and Duchene, Stastny. They provide not just one thing. They have skill, movement, hunt pucks down, have a big shot from the point. They've had success in a lot of different ways. They haven't gotten it one way. It's not a one-dimensional power play. They are relentless. Add the young skill and they've been successful. We're acutely aware of what they'll try to do because it's been a big factor for their success on the road.
Pens coach Bylsma gave updates on the team's lineup tonight:
- Kennedy & Sullivan game-time decisions
- Fleury starting in net
- Dupuis needed stitches at practice, but is fine

Pens lines at the morning skate:
(Crosby, Tangradi)
The Pens are stepping on the ice for the morning skate. Steve Sullivan, who missed practice Monday and had a game-time status, is out there with the team.
Pens forward Matt Cooke stopped by the Ronald McDonald House at Children's Hospital yesterday.
Let's take a look back at some of the Great Moments in Pens History. Today team historian Bob Grove takes us back to Sidney Crosby's first-ever home game in Pittsburgh at Mellon Arena.
The Pens have recalled forward Dustin Jeffrey from WBS. He played 2 games in a conditioning assignment in WBS. He's continuing his progress from offseason knee surgery.
Good morning from CONSOL Energy Center! Tonight the Pens will battle the Colorado Avalanche at 7:30 pm on Versus Network.
As noted yesterday, tonight marks the Pens' 20th annual Score Against Hunger Food Drive. Food and cash donations will be collected at all three entrance gates. Fans that bring non-perishable food items or make a cash donation will be eligible to win autographed Pens' memorabilia. For more info on the Food Drive click here.
Continuing with the spirit of the food drive, we'll open the day with a song from one of my favorite late 90s guilty pleasures: Jimmy Eat World (get it, the connection with food and eating world?). And we'll kick off with the song "Sweetness" in honor of the thousands of fans who have contributed to the Food Drive throughout the years - collected over 32,000 pounds of food and more than $30,000 in donations since 1992.

Creating a Ramona Wine Valley identity
By S. Elaine Lyttleton
Who is Patrick Comiskey and why did more than 90 people swarm to the vineyard home of Bill and Kathy aSchweitzer to hear him speak?
The attendance at monthly meetings of the Ramona Valley Vineyard Association (RVVA) is usually between 40 and 60 people, both members and guests. The June meeting had nearly double the average, all bringing their own chairs, wine and an appetizer to share. The attraction was Patrick Comiskey.
Comiskey is a senior contributor for Wine & Spirits magazine. He is chief critic for non-California domestic wines and contributes articles on the wines of California, Oregon and Washington. He is also a sommelier and a regular contributor to the Los Angeles Times, Bon Appetit and Wine Review Online.
Several RVVA members had gone to Grape Day in Temecula a couple of months ago and heard Patrick speak. They were so impressed wilth his message, which expressed passion and insight about emerging wine regions, that they invited him to Ramona.
In 2006, Ramona was designated an American Viticultural Area (AVA) by the federal government,
"You can't get much more emerging than the Ramona Valley AVA," said John York, RVVA president.
Apparently the growers and vintners of the Ramona Valley were thirsty for an outsider's expert opinion on how the Ramona wine region could and should evolve, creating its own identity in the huge world of wine. Ramona has proved it can grow premium grapes, and the number of Best of Show, Double Gold, Gold and other awards being hauled home from state and national competitions is an indication that the area is nurturing some fine wine makers.
But as a region — a little valley in a big county, just a few miles from the Mexican border, in a state renowned for wine — the question seemed to be: "How can we create a unique and wonderful name for ourselves?"
Producing the finest wines possible comes in at the top of the list, but does Ramona Valley want to be the new Temecula Valley, or a Paso Robles or something else?
Comiskey pointed out that there is more U.S. wine by volume than ever before and more opportunities to enjoy it. In spite of the recession, more wine is being sold in the U.S. than ever before, there are more books written and movies made about wines, and, he said, "Wine has become a daily ritual, getting more powerful by the day."
Wines and beers are becoming indispensable to the dining experience, he added, as well as being chosen simply on the basis of "Am I thirsty?"
The days of $150 a bottle wine are over, and with the retirement of the all-powerful Robert Parker, the influence of the single wine critic is waning, said Comiskey.
"The younger wine drinking population doesn't even know who Robert Parker is," he said.
People are thinking for themselves, and Comiskey thinks this is a benefit for Ramona.
He stressed the importance of creating a regional identity. If the words "Ramona Valley" and "wine" are used in the same sentence, it should mean something unique, wonderful and special, he said. Like Paso Robles, where world-class wines are produced, there is also a feeling that they are homegrown and very drinkable without pretension or costing an arm and a leg.
Comiskey stressed a concept he called "Fidelity to Place." This means honing in on the strengths of the area in terms of varietals, and recognizing limitations. There should be a constant focus on quality control and improvement. Quality drives good public relations and good stories of challenges and triumphs.
Writers of articles want to write on how great balance was achieved in a wine, or about the positive winery experience, not how corrective measures needed to be taken, he said. "Authenticity is the key to success in the post-Parker era."
Crafting fine wine, being true to self and balancing the wine with the experience of wine for the visitor and consumer will direct the future of the Ramona Valley wine industry.

Race fans hail breathtaking Frankel and trainer Henry Cecil
Colt cements his reputation with win number 13 at York, but when and how will he bow out?
THE racing world has been showering plaudits on Frankel and his veteran trainer Henry Cecil after the four-year-old colt's 13th straight win yesterday.
Frankel cemented his place in the record books and the affections of race fans as he destroyed a high-class field in the Juddmonte International Stakes at York to become the first horse in history to win eight consecutive Group One races.
It was the first time Frankel had raced over a distance of more than a mile, but any doubts about his ability to last the pace were dismissed as he surged clear of his rivals with two furlongs to go and romped home to win by an impressive seven lengths.
A crowd of 30,000 had travelled to York to watch the colt and they were not disappointed. He put in "a finish of such breathtaking speed that it took jockey Tom Queally another half-a-mile to pull him up," marvelled The Daily Telegraph.
"We have seen nothing like this. Frankel is a horse of such stratospheric distinction that he is winning Flat races by National Hunt margins. Here he relegated even St Nicholas Abbey, a two-time winner of the Coronation Cup at Epsom, to a distant also-ran."
The result confirmed him as the "world's greatest racehorse" said The Guardian, but Telegraph tipster Hotspur went even further. "This seven-length annihilation of another top-class field was conclusive proof that Frankel is the best to have raced in Europe, ever."
The crowd also hailed Cecil, who has been fighting cancer. The Times reported that the 69-year-old trainer "bore the ravages of his cancer treatment with poignant dignity and drew tumultuous applause simply for being present".
The paper added: "We may never know quite what a tonic and inspiration Frankel has been to Cecil but it is safe to say an already colourful life has been immeasurably enhanced. Safe, too, to conclude that Frankel is the Flat horse of all our lifetimes."
However, it seems Frankel will race only once more before retiring. The Champion Stakes at Ascot is expected to be his last race, though according to the Guardian he could now chase the "impossible dream" and try to win the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe in early October.
"The Champion Stakes may be the pragmatic target for Frankel, now that he has proved his ability at an extended ten furlongs, but the Arc would be the one for a racing romantic," the paper noted.

hi, I just started year 9 and i got level 7C for my end of year maths exam in year 8. Can someone give me some good advise to get a level 8 because maths is really my only strong subject and probably my future.
thanks in advance.
level 8 for maths.
|Posted on
First, you might want to check whether you could have got an 8. I know it sounds stupid, but I thought our end-of-Year-8 Science exams went up to level 7 because all our end-of-module exams did. I was convinced, and I got 94/100 - then when we got our target SATs cards, I noticed I'd got a 6. It was weird and confusing until they explained it properly.
I got a high 7 (literally a mark or two off an 8) in my Maths mocks because we'd been taught nothing of the higher level stuff because of mixed ability classes and the fact the 6-8 classes were at a bad time for me/they'd only been going about 2 weeks anyway. But as soon as I had the concepts explained to me I immediately understood them - if I'd known them before the exam I would have got a Level 8. You sound quite bright when it comes to Maths so I'd expect you to get new concepts quickly - get hold of your paper, take it to your teacher and ask them to explain everything you got wrong. Do it with any mocks you get as well - and make sure your teachers teach you all the material. If they don't it's really frustrating to know that there wasn't really anything you could do about it and it's somebody else's fault! With this - and to be honest it was only the work of a lesson or two - I raised my mark to a high 8, so it does make a huge difference if you know the basic material.
At the end of the day, though, SATs are irrelevant. Nobody's going to complain about you doing Maths with a Level 7 - chances are nobody's going to know. But it's nice to do justice to yourself, so good luck
Mostly you should just listen and work hard throughout year 9. If you don't understand you should try and get it worked out, so you don't struggle at the end. Before your SATs, revise hard and you should definetly achieve a level 8! Most of the level 8 material is learnt in year 9 anyway, so you've got it all to look forward to!
thank you for your replies, but are there any more tips of when I should start revising and which revision book is the best to revise from.
I did next to no revision because that was what I felt comfortable doing. We did a week or two of working through past papers in class (informal, not exam conditions) in Maths minus however many lessons I missed for music (I had a bad record for missing Maths - it was on all the days I had music lessons!), but on my own I did about half an hour a week or so before the exam just to remind myself of all the techniques (no practice Qs though I did look at Bitesize once and some of the GCSE questions are useful for things like factorisation that their SATs bit doesn't have). Obviously if you listen in the lessons and absorb/remember new concepts well you'll need to do less revision, but just do how much you feel comfortable doing and remember to chase up what you haven't been told!
I didn't use a revision guide myself though we were constantly recommended CGP books. Frankly, I would have rather beaten myself to death with a CGP book than actually read the thing (we got free guides from school for Year 6 SATs - I hated the naff jokes and found the questions badly worded and irritating), but it's a matter of opinion and some people love them. If not, I saw a couple of friends with modern-ish look revision guides but sorry, I can't remember the name!
Got to say i did almost no revision for the year 9 SAT's, the level 8 just happened, my only revision was the night before the exam... obviously not the best choice unless you can revise like that too. Just work hard all year and you shouldn't need to revise much.
yeh um sats that just happened i cant say i revised for them coz i didnt' what is a Level 7C lol isthat a high 7 or a low 7
It is a low level 7. i got 99 out 150 marks.
It all depends how hard you had to work for the 7c. I got a level 8 in Maths without doing all that much work, because in year 9 Maths was my forte. Having said that once I got to GCSE Maths rapidly became much much harder and I hated it which was sad. Anyway I digress, revise like you would for any exam so about 4-6 weeks before and ask your teacher what revision book they would recommend. It will depend on how they are teaching the syllabus, or even which syllabus. Anything by Letts is normally quite good.
Just remember however important it seems now nobody post year 9 will probably ever ask about your SATS results ever again. So try and relax. Good luck!
so around how many marks do you need 2 get for a level 8 and how many marks are they out of?
(Original post by spamking)
It is a low level 7. i got 99 out 150 marks.
SATs are relatively pointless, they mean nothing to employers or anything.
But if you want to get an 8...I'm not sure how many marks you need, but I got one and I got about 121/150 or something like that.
To be honest, no one will ever know or care what you got for year 9 SATs. I got a level 8 (90%) and it has made no difference to me!!! We had a breakfast club to learn the extra material...pretty good cos we got crumpets...mmmmm. Anyway, if you really want one buy book or something and learn the material and youll pass easily!
hey. sorry 4 poppin in. i'm in yr12.
i really admire u guyz 2 actually REVISIN at year 9. i gt a level 7 maths wid no revision but 5 in science and 6 in english but surely yr9 was the best year of skool. it was a laugh. every1 really enjoyed themselves cuz it was da last yr b4 GCSE's. i wish i had even more fun in yr9 cuz thts wat being a skoolkid is all about...as well as learning.
but good on u guyz 2 b thinkin bout ur future and REVISION! at yr9
The only reason i want 2 get level 8 for maths is cuz so i can do my maths gcse in yr 10 and then work hard for my other subjects in yr 11. Because i want 2 get B's, A's and mabey a few A*s in my gsce.

Crossing the Atlantic: More thoughts on the Slave Trade
Monday, January 30, 2012 at 2:30 p.m.
Beinecke Library, Room 39
The Atlantic slave trade continues to intrigue - and confuse. The best part of twelve million Africans were loaded onto the slave ships: eleven million survived to landfall. But many of the older ideas of the precise nature of that trade are now under scrutiny. The violent experience on board the slave ships attracts less attention than it ought. And what persuaded generations of slave traders to inflict such sea borne horrors on so many Africans? More perplexing still, why did the western world turn against the slave trade ( which yielded so much material bounty and prosperity) - and in so short a span of time? In 1700 few questioned the trade: by 1800 it was roundly condemned.
James Walvin is Professor of History Emeritus at the University of York U.K. where he taught for many years. He has published widely on the history of slavery, and on modern British social history. Among his recent books are The Slave Trade, (Thames and Hudson, London, 2011) and The Zong. A Massacre, the Law, and the End of Slavery, (Yale University Press, 2011.) At the Beinecke he plans to continue his work on the slave trade by exploring the manuscript and printed collections relating to the slave trade in the South Atlantic in the nineteenth century.

Anthony Bryndza left the gift-wrapping department at the Macy's at Union Square in San Francisco with a package wrapped in a heavy silver paper, trimmed with bright green ribbon and a decorative bell.
"If I tried to do it myself, it would look like I did it myself. It's a beautiful job," said the 68-year-old San Francisco resident.
Bryndza paid $11 for the holiday present to be wrapped, which will be given to a needy recipient through a community gift-giving program. "It's just to make it as nice as possible for the guy who is getting it," he said.
There are some shoppers like Bryndza, who believe a professional wrapping is just as important as the present itself. But that's not the case for most consumers at a time of changing tastes and the growing popularity of gift cards and gift bags.
In March, Macy's shut down its gift-wrapping service at most stores nationwide, except for its Union Square store and four other locations. JCPenney shut down its gift-wrapping service several years ago.
"Three years ago, we began to shift away from gift-wrap departments based on reduced customer demand for gift-wrapping services. In part, this may be part of a societal environmental sensitivity for using less paper. In part, customers are preferring less formal wrapping options (i.e., gift bags)," Macy's spokeswoman Laura Smith said in an e-mail. She added that Macy's will continue to provide gift-wrapping at stores where demand continues for the service.
Upon request, many department stores -- including Bloomingdale's, Macy's, Nordstrom, JCPenney and Sears, along with specialty retailers such as Victoria's Secret -- provide customers with a free gift box for merchandise purchased inside a store. But that's not quite the same as a present all wrapped up with pretty paper, ribbons and bows.
Some enterprising people like Julie Allen, a San Leandro resident, do gift-wrapping for people who don't like to wrap presents or don't have the time.
"A lot of them are men who don't want to wrap presents, or families that are super-busy and just don't have the time," said Allen, 37, whose day job is working at an insurance company.
To date this year, she has five customers -- three men and two families. "Both of the parents are working and don't have time," she said.
Last year, she had about 25 customers.
"It works out well for me. It brings in a little bit of cash for the holidays. I like to wrap presents," said Allen, who put a posting on Craigslist to advertise her gift-wrapping service, which charges $5 for small presents and $7 for medium presents (paper and ribbon included). Prices for larger presents vary by size.
Cheryl Keyes, a 69-year-old Martinez resident, likes the idea of a professionally wrapped gift, but not to the point of paying for the service when buying a lot of holiday presents.
"I'd rather they did it, but I don't want to pay for it. It's cheaper (to wrap presents yourself) but it's not easier," said Keyes, who would consider paying for a store to gift wrap a single present, such as a bridal gift.
In today's retail marketplace, most consumers don't place a priority on brick-and-mortar stores having a gift-wrapping service, said James Dion, founder and president of Chicago-based Dionco Inc., a retail consulting firm.
"They don't care about it for a lot of reasons. One is the time issue. In most cases, you had to leave your parcels and come back and get them when they were wrapped, or you would have to wait in a relatively long line to get your parcels wrapped. That is simply not the way most customers shop today," he said.
"It's one of those things, quite frankly, that is almost a 'who cares,' except for a very small subsection of people who are buying higher-end gifts, and they tend to buy those in specialty stores," said Dion. "If you want your ring wrapped at a Cartier or a Tiffany's, I'm certain they could accommodate you."
Indeed, it is hard to imagine receiving a Tiffany's ring that was not inside that iconic blue box.
Another reason that demand for gift-wrapping is being displaced is gift bags, which provide an easy way to present a gift without having to get out the wrapping paper, tape and scissors. First introduced in 1987, gift bags have been the most popular way for consumers to present a gift since 2002, according to Hallmark, which makes both gift bags and wrapping paper.
This holiday season, gift cards will once again be the most requested present, according to the National Retail Federation.
"I would not be surprised if there has been a steady decline in the amount of Christmas wrap sold over the last 15 years," Dion said.
But even gift bags may face a challenge one day.
"An awful lot of people are using the Sunday comics and brown paper bags for wrapping, particularly the Millennials (people born between 1981 and 2000). It's the green thing to do," Dion said.
Contact Eve Mitchell at 925-952-2690.
You may have a hard time finding a gift-wrapping service at most brick-and-mortar stores, but the service is still available:

CORNWALL — The Hudson Highlands Nature Museum will present "Snakes Alive!" at 10 a.m. and 11:30 a.m. Aug. 3 at the Outdoor Discovery Center on Muser Drive, across from 174 Angola Road, Cornwall.
Environmental educators Jim Farkas and Sasha Boucher will confirm that snakes are helpful to the environment and very misunderstood. Visitors will meet some of the museum's resident snakes.
"About 12 species of snakes make the Hudson Valley their home," said Farkas.
"Some species, such as the red-bellied, ring-necked and DeKay's snakes, barely grow 12 inches long and eat small invertebrates like worms, slugs and beetle grubs," said Boucher.
Participants will get a close-up look at snakes that live in the Hudson Valley and learn what to do if they see one in the wild.
There will be a snake craft for children to take home.
This program is for adults with or without children and for children age 5 and up. Admission is $7, $5 for children, with a $2 discount for museum members. For information, visit hhnaturemuseum.org or call 534-5506, ext. 204.

After today's first full-squad practice, LaDainian Tomlinson, Coach Norv Turner, tight end Antonio Gates and linebacker Shawne Merriman met with the local media. Here are a few highlights:
A devil's advocate question: Did this team look too far down the road last January?
"I think so. I think honestly we were kind of looking past New England in a way we figured it's going to be Baltimore. We knew we had lost to Baltimore so we were looking forward to that matchup. ... I think that was a situation where we wanted to revenge our loss. I would say we probably were looking past New England a little bit, but we shouldn't have been because as great of a team as they are and us being back in the playoffs and not being very experienced, we shouldn't have been looking past anyone.''
How do you fix that, assuming you go back to the playoffs?
"I think experience is the biggest teacher. You experience what happened and you experience different things that happened during that big game and you make sure they don't happen again because you've already been through that. You know not to look past anyone.''
It looked like Eric Parker was on the sidelines for a while the last half of practice. Is that precautionary?
"Yeah, we're going to be smart with Eric. Obviously he had the toe so we're going to limit (him). He did some at the start. There's four or five guys we're going to practice once a day. I think Eric will be fine.''
Is there a speech that you gave the team to set the tone for what you're going to do in camp or do you just let the guys find out as they go along?
"I think the biggest thing is we talked about what we wanted to accomplish in training camp. What I like to do is every 2 or 3 days continue with that message and continue in short spurts in terms of what we're getting done and what we're accomplishing and why.''
You started last year with a (virtual) rookie quarterback. Can you talk about the difference between going into training camp with Philip (Rivers) last year vs. this year?
"It all comes back to the trust and chemistry to me when you think of a good team and a team that's evolving into becoming one of the champ teams or elite teams in this league. Obviously last year there was an unfortunate situation with Drew Brees and Philip stepped in and did a great job. But now we have that much more confidence.''
Do you like the way you're starting a little slow (with no full-pad practices until Monday?
"I like the way we're building up right now in the practices and the playbook. We're not throwing a whole bunch at each other right now, which is good. That way we can get down what we need to get down early and get good at it. I like the way things are going so far.''

Listen to Actual Morse Code Beacon from DARTSAT (W1ET).
Dartsat's entire communication system resides within the amateur radio bands - a fertile ground for experimentation and novelty. It has a 146 MHz FM uplink and a 440 MHz FM downlink. These frequencies were chosen since they travel line of sight thousands of miles through space, and they will enable many people to use existing HAM gear to communicate with the satellite. The satellite will identify itself every 5 minutes in Morse Code with the callsign "W1ET" which is from the Dartmouth Amateur Radio Club. Ground users can activate/deactivate the satellite and collect data from the satellite by sending up a series of DTMF tones (standard telephone touch tones). The device will also act as a single channel VHF/UHF "repeater" enabling two people thousands of miles apart on earth to be able to communicate via the satellite using low power (~ 5 watts).
The receiver and transmitter will use two omnidirectional dipole antennas which are pendicular to one another. The details about their deployment is included under the mechanical section.
The satellite's receiver is crystal controlled. It operates on 146 MHz, has a 5 kHz bandwidth and a 0.1 uV sensitivity. The entire dual conversion superhetrodyne system (local oscillators, mixers, and demodulator) is built into a single Motorola MC13135 IC which requires 4.8 VDC, 5 mA to operate. All the parts will be space rated (ie. operate over wide temperature ranges, survive extreme mechanical vibration, and are radiation hardened). These surface mount parts are rigidly mounted on a custom built printed circuit board.
The satellite's transmitter is also crystal controlled. It operates on 440 MHz with a 5 kHz bandwidth and maximum of 0.5 W RF output. All the basic components (current controlled oscillator, multiplier and phase detector) are housed in a single Motorola MC13176 IC. The power amplifier is basically a single RF2117 IC from RF Micro Devices. The entire transmitter requires 3.0 VDC, 500 mA making it about 30% efficient. Like the receiver, all the parts are space rated, surface mount, and stuffed into a custom built printed circuit board.
For further information please contact Todd E. Kerner.

Leon Hiebert was pastor of Andover Assembly of God (Generations Church A/G) from 1989 to 2009. He is a Viet Nam veteran who spent 10 years in the US Navy most of the time as a corpsman serving with the Marine Corps. A native of Belleville, Kan., Hiebert is semi retired and lives in Andover with his wife, Sharon. He is a school bus driver for USD 385, Andover, Kansas.
Scripture: Acts (NIV) 7:33 Then the Lord said to him (Moses), "Take off your sandals, for the place where you are standing is holy ground."
Observation: Moses had come to see a bush that was on fire but was not burning up. Now God was speaking to him from that bush! God identified Himself as the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. God had something specific to say to Moses, but first Moses would have to remove his sandals. It is my understanding that free persons wore shoes while slaves went barefoot. Sandals were a symbol that a man could set his own course and was responsible for his own decisions. Being barefoot was a sign that someone else was in charge. It needed to be established in Moses that Moses was not in charge. Moses was only the servant of the Jehovah God! Only as a servant would Moses successfully lead Israel!
Application: For Leon to be useful to God, Leon must walk barefoot before the Lord. Leon is not to do Leon's business, but God's business. Leon is not Lord. He is only the Lord's servant. Leon will be a blessing to others only as Leon hears and does the will of God. Only as a servant can I be successful in God's Kingdom!
Prayer: Lord, I walk as your servant. Use me for your glory. Amen
Pastor Leon
Making friends for time and eternity!

Definition of perlocution in English:
nounPhilosophy & Linguistics
An act of speaking or writing that has an action as its aim but that in itself does not effect or constitute the action, for example persuading or convincing. Compare with illocution.
Example sentences
- These effects correspond to the perlocutions of utterances.
- Meaning corresponds with illocution, while significance is best related to perlocution.
- But he moves beyond Austin and Searle's tripartite distinction between locution, illocution, and perlocution.
- Example sentences
- If the absence of a locutionary force is a deliberate part of your perlocutionary force, then having the government substitute its own perlocutionary force does indeed infringe on your freedom of speech.
- In this article we analyze the grammar of codes of ethics as a written locutionary act, and attempt to determine their implicit illocutionary and perlocutionary values.
- Austin distinguishes among three components in a total speech act: the locutionary act, the illocutionary act, and the perlocutionary act.
1950s: from modern Latin perlocutio(n-), from per- 'throughout' + locutio(n-) 'speaking'.

Although kernel bugs have had serious security implications for the past three decades, researchers have not studied their importance or the mechanics for discovering, exploiting, and fixing them as much as they?ve focused on other information technology infrastructure components. Yet, over the past several years, an increasing number of kernel security vulnerabilities have demonstrated that the most important component of today?s operating systems is not free of bugs--when these vulnerabilities are exploited, serious security incidents ensue.
In this installment of Attack Trends, I focus on kernel security issues, recent vulnerabilities, and the emergence of publicly available exploit code for them.

Saturday 3:30 to 4:00 pm and by appointment
Within parish Mass, as well as private, with prior sacramental preparation three months in advance. Baptismal preparation sessions are held quarterly.
Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults (RCIA)
Anyone seeking information on becoming a Catholic, please call either the pastor or Rebecca Flynn through the main phone number.
SACRAMENTS of the CATHOLIC CHURCH
"Baptism, the gate of the Sacraments, necessary for salvation in fact or, at least, in intention, by which women and men are freed from their sins, are reborn as children of God and, configured to Christ by an indelible character, are incorporated in the Church, is validly conferred only by washing with true water together with the required form of words." (Canon 849, Code of Canon Law, 1983)
It is the beginning of a life-long process in the Church. Baptism is celebrated when the parents of the child make a commitment to live, practice, and teach all of the values of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The Sacrament of Baptism bestows the grace of God on the person; if frees a person of Original Sin; and, it makes that person a true member of the living Christian Community.
* Infant baptism is celebrated only when the parents are actively practicing the Catholic faith.
* SPONSORS: For a person to be a "Sponsor" at Baptism or Confirmation, that person must be at least 16 years old, a confirmed Catholic, and in good standing.
o "Good standing" means to be attending Mass weekly, the Sacrament of Reconciliation regularly, an active member of a parish. If the sponsor is married, the marriage must be validated in the Catholic Church.
o If there are two sponsors, they must be male and female.
o There is only a requirement for one (1) sponsor.
o An active, baptized Christian from another faith may act as a "Non-Catholic Witness" to the baptism, and assume the role of godparent. However, there is still a requirement for a Sponsor.
o If the Sponsor is not from the Church of the Baptism, they would need a "Sponsor certificate" from their own Pastor to verify that they meet all the requirements of Baptism.

"In the Sacrament of Reconciliation, the faithful, confessing their sins to a legitimate minister, being sorry for them, and at the same time proposing to reform, obtain from God forgiveness of sins committed after Baptism through the absolution imparted by the same minister; and they, likewise, are reconciled with the Church which they have wounded by sinning." (Canon 959, Code of Canon Law, 1983)
The Sacrament of Reconciliation is celebrated every Saturday afternoon from 3:30 to 4:00pm, or other times by appointment. The faithful are required to receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation at least once a year.
(top of page)
"The Most Holy Eucharist is the most august sacrament, in which Christ the Lord Himself is contained, offered and received, and by which the Church constantly lives and grows. The Eucharistic Sacrifice, the memorial of the death and resurrection of the Lord, in which the sacrifice of the cross is perpetuated over the centuries, is the summit and source of all Christian worship and life; it signifies and effects the unity of the people of God and achieves the building up on the Body of Christ . The other Sacraments and all the ecclesiastical works of the apostolate are closely related to the Holy Eucharist and are directed to it." (Canon 897, Code of Canon Law, 1983)
* The faithful are to receive the Eucharist at least once a year.
* Those who receive the Eucharist are to abstain from any food or drink, with the exception of water or medicine, for at least one hour before Holy Communion. (Canon 919.1)
* A person who is conscious of grave sin in not to receive the Body and Blood of the Lord until they have celebrated the Sacrament of Reconciliation. If it is not possible to do so, the person may receive the Eucharist, with the intention to celebrate Reconciliation as soon as possible. (Canon 916)
(top of page)
"The Sacrament of Confirmation impresses a character, and by it, the baptized, continuing on the path of Christian initiation, are enriched by the gift of the Holy Spirit, and bound more perfectly to the Church; it strengthens them and obliges them more firmly to be witnesses to Christ by word and deed, and to spread and defend the faith." (Canon 879, Code of Canon Law, 1983)
The Gifts of the Holy Spirit are Wisdom, Understanding, Right Judgment, Courage, Knowledge, Love, and Reverence for God.
(top of page)
"The matrimonial covenant, by which a man and a woman establish between themselves a partnership of the whole of life, is by its nature, ordered toward the good of their spouses and the procreation and education of offspring; this covenant between baptized persons has been raised by Christ the Lord to the dignity of a Sacrament." (Canon 1055, Code of Canon Law, 1983)
Couples wishing to enter into the Sacrament of Marriage are to make arrangements through the parish priest at least six months before the Sacrament is to take place. The couple will enter into a Marriage Preparation with the priest, as well as participating in either an Engagement Encounter Weekend, or a Pre-Cana conference.
(top of page)
"By divine institution, some among the Christian faithful are constituted sacred ministers through the Sacrament of Orders by means of the indelible character with which they are marked; accordingly, they are consecrated and deputed to shepherd the people of God, each in accord with his own grade of orders, by fulfilling in the person of Christ the Head the functions of teaching, sanctifying, and governing." (Canon 1008, Code of Canon Law, 1983)
The three levels of orders are the Episcopacy, the Presbyterate, and the Diaconate.
1. A deacon can baptize, witness a marriage, proclaim the Gospel, preach the homily, and offer certain blessings.
2. A priest is empowered to do all that a deacon does, and to consecrate the Eucharist, absolve sin in the Name of Jesus, and anoint the Sick.
3. A bishop is the shepherd of the Diocese, and is responsible for the faith lives of the people entrusted to his care.
Only a baptized male validly receives sacred Ordination.
(top of page)
"The anointing of the sick, by which the Church commends to the suffering and glorified Lord, the faithful who are dangerously sick, so that he relieve and save them, is conferred by anointing them with oil, and using the words prescribed in the liturgical books." (Canon 998, Code of Canon Law, 1983)
The anointing of the sick can be administered to a member of the faithful who, after having reached the age of reason, begins to be in danger due to sickness or old age. The sacrament can be repeated whenever the sick person again falls into a serious sickness after convalescence, or whenever a more serious crisis develops during the same sickness.

Over time have started experiencing a problem with the camera. I will shoot a sequence or for that matter a simple burst and the camera responds as if I have the bracketing for exposure turned on...and it is off. Photos will be from over exposed to underexposed or vice-versa. I cannot seem to identify what is causing this. The local dealer was zero help and my previous experience when sending the camera to Nikon HQ was, they do very little diagnosing, but will replace any and everything ($$$). I shoot primarily action sports and this happens inside and out, daylight and night.

Welcome to Nikonians!Yes, it does sound like you have exposure bracketing turned on - but if you've double-checked that I guess it has to be something else.One possibilitiy that comes to mind is that you might have Custom Setting b4 Easy Exposure Compensation turned on - then you could be changing the compensation setting by inadvertently turning a Command Dial.More information would help us make further suggestions - for example which exposure mode are you using? When the problem occurs, what shutter speed, aperture and ISO are recorded in the EXIF daya for the series of shots with varying exposures?

I am having this exact same problem, I have even reset all settings back to Nikon default (holding ISO/WB, Reset Custom Settings, Reset Shooting Menu). I have checked b4 easy exposure compensation it is OFF. All bracketing is turned off, I seem to get two over exposed frames then two under exposed frames and this repeats. I called Nikon and they had no ideas, I uploaded example photos for their review hope to hear back from them on Monday. I tried to narrow down the problem by shooting in Manual mode, fixed shutter, aperture and ISO and I still get this alternating exposure. I checked the Exif data and all photos have the same settings. My D3s is very well taken care of and has 94,000 shutter clicks, any thoughts as I have run out of ideas.
#3. "RE: D3s Exposure Issues" | In response to Reply # 2
If shooting in Manual with a fixed aperture, shutter speed and ISO gives varying exposures, then just about the only possibility is that the lens diaphragm is not closing down reliably to the pre-selected aperture, or the shutter is malfunctioning. You could check the first by shooting a series of shots at a medium aperture and slow shutter speed while looking into the front of the lens to see whether the aperture is consistent.
#4. "RE: D3s Exposure Issues" | In response to Reply # 1
Thanks. Sorry for the delay getting back. I ended up purchasing a D4 and will return my D3s for repair I should have a little time before the holidays to try what you shared. THanks and I will let you know how it works. I believe it has something o do with the shutter malfunctioning
#5. "RE: D3s Exposure Issues" | In response to Reply # 4
Yes, thanks Brian I will check that tonight and let you know, I kind of think it may be the camera since this has occured to me as well using two different lenses, unless its the camera signal malfunctioning between the camera and the lens diaphram. If it is the shutter assume this is what $350+- to replace and assume I would need to (and probably want to) send it to Nikon, any experience with ballpark costs of a replacement shutter? This is unfortunate as the shutter only has 94k clicks assume Nikon will not cover it given it is beyond the 1yr warranty and no extended warranty was purchased.
#6. "RE: D3s Exposure Issues" | In response to Reply # 5
Brian, the lens diaphram seems to be functioning properly, also when this has occured I was shooting at f2.8. I tried resetting the camera to the Nikon defaults and I got the same results (earlier this week). One other thought I had is I just recently upgraded the firmware from 1.00 to 1.01, even thinking this could have been a corrupt version however after upgrading to firmware 1.01 the camera said it was installed successfully. I reinstalled 1.01 just in case but still get the varying exposures. Below is a link to the photos and the varrying exposures I am getting, you can see they vary every two shots.http://www.tomjonesphotography.net/Sports/Media-8/26986829_LMgz2m#!i=2262387595&k=Xv9qHc6
#7. "RE: D3s Exposure Issues" | In response to Reply # 6
Having seen the examples in your new thread, I think (the other) Brian's explanation is the correct one.
#8. "RE: D3s Exposure Issues" | In response to Reply # 7
Brian, so you think its the cycling of the light vs a camera issue? The strange thing is my D700 shooting at 8fps (vs 9fps with the D3s)never experienced this once which if it was the timing of the lighting cycles and the camera shutter you would think that I would have seen this at least a few times with the D700. I'm going to experiment by changing the burst rate (CL shooting rate) to 8fps and 7fps and see what I get. Thanks for the response I appreciate your input.
#9. "RE: D3s Exposure Issues" | In response to Reply # 8
Ok, I just heard back from a friend of mine who shoots a D3s in the exact same conditions in the exact same gyms and football field and he said he DOES experience this issue with the cycling of the lights so I am going to do some tests with 8fps, 7fps at various shutter speeds and back into the cycle rate of the lights assume as others had mentioned this to be around 1/60 to find the best combination of burst rate and shutter speed. I am assuming 8fps may be the correct combination as I mentioned I don't seem to have this problem with my D700, so I will try to replicate those settings on the D3s to see if it works and will let you know what I find. I appreciate all the input from both Brian's and Roger.

It is most likely 1/60th, but it could be less common than that. For example, one of the stadiums I've been to has its lights on two different power grids, for reasons related to how their power got brought in rather than things we might think of. (BTW this is very common for data centers, which are normally attached to - at least - two different grids for redundancy reasons.) In the case of this stadium, the dips only occur when both grids hit the bottom of a 60hz cycle at similar instants - as you might guess, it's much less common there than at sites with more usual single power.Also, don't forget that since this is a timing thing, even small perturbations make a difference. The D700 may be operating at a nominal 7 or 8 fps, but it may also have a slightly different release lag or AF recovery period, neither of which would be surprising. 60 cycles per second means 16.6ms between cycles, or 50ms return over a three-cycle period. With 37ms rating for the blackout period on the D3 and D3s, and 4ms for 1/250th exposure, it might just turn out that it's easier for a D3/D3s to "find" the bottom cycles than for a camera with, say, 44ms blackout period... etc.

By the way, I've had the problem with my D2x also - at 5fps. Just not nearly as much.

Wow...not sure if this was a tangent or a whole new thread!Cycling of mercury vapor lights seems like a documented nuisance. I experience this is broad daylight on a soccer field.
#13. "RE: D3s Exposure Issues" | In response to Reply # 12
SoccerO, I found your post and I also started a new one, I just purchased a used D3s and thought I had a bad shutter, but it sounds like this is common with fluorescent lights and others that cycle at 60Hz and greater. I am going to test this by varying my burst rate as I can't shoot sports at 1/60 so I guess the other possibility is to shoot fast pick out the shots that appear with light at full power and then post process and adjust WB using one that was taken when the lights cycled to full power. So for continuing your post but it sounded like you were satisfied to purchase D4 which now I assume you want to revisit whether you D3s needs repair or not with the help of the posts from others on this thread, I know I appreciate their help. Btw, Nikon support was useless they of course could not figure out the problem, I think they learned something as well of course they are probably just customer service people there to sell repair service.
#14. "RE: D3s Exposure Issues" | In response to Reply # 13
I have already had my D3S rebuilt once and it is long overdue for an overhaul. The acquisition of the D4 just makes that time so much more palatable. The D3S now has about 850,000 shots on it. I am going to get it addressed and use as my backup.Actually what I was trying to convey is that the original problem I have actually has nothing to do with the available light, artificial or natural. The behavior the camera exhibits is like it is bracketing a shot and bracketing is not turned on. I can shot a 12-15 shot sequence of a sports sequence and 2 are over exposed 3 are correct and 4 will be underexposed, same light, same conditions, etc.In addition, it seems exaggerated when I shoot with the camera in portrait mode.I am guessing it has to do with the shutter timing and exposure, and perhaps fatigue.The problem you describe is a documented nuisance of sports facility lighting.
#15. "RE: D3s Exposure Issues" | In response to Reply # 14
If it has 850k on the shutter thats way over the 300k it is rated for your right probably due for service and probably a new shutter. Sorry I side tracked your original question.

Hi,one more possibility could be in the game: the exposure meter may have been set to spot metering mode and your target has a lot of variation between light and dark colors.Best regards,Kari
#17. "RE: D3s Exposure Issues" | In response to Reply # 16
That's not the problem in this case - from the images posted, Tom was using Manual exposure mode along with Matrix metering.
#18. "RE: D3s Exposure Issues" | In response to Reply # 16
That has a lot of value. Now, if I do set the camera to auto ISO, will the spot metering just control focus or will it also control exposure? I am guilty here of using spot metering as I find it the most reliable way to track the quick pace of a game by turning on sport metering and keeping the focal point (single) on the ball and the subjects within the depth of focus are relatively accurate.So if I then opt for Auto Iso and a 1/1600 or 1/2000 shutter speed, will the exposure be controlled by the auto exposure feature or will the spot metering override the setting?

Web 2.0 in pop?
By christophersaul on Jun 14, 2009
Listenting to the Box Tops' 'The Letter' this morning, I found myself wondering when we're going to see more references to modern technology in pop songs.
Mousse T gave a technically vague mention of sending a message through the internet 'but it rejected' , way back in '98. Since then I've not been aware of any songs mentioning something similar.
We need up to date lyrics along the lines of -
'Get me an online checkin for an aeroplane - my baby just sent me a tweet'.
'Hangin' on your Facebook status update'.
'Text and shout'.
...that sort of thing.
I think Girls Aloud would be a good group for a social media related ballad. I suggest a feisty 'strong women' type missive about removing an ex-boyfriend from your social networking circle.
Verse -
Don't poke me via Facebook 'cos I ain't gonna reply
The days of textin' me daily have all gone by
Your tweets mean nothin', your emails less
My heart's deleted you baby, I must confess
It's time for me to stand strooong
And wipe your from my liiiiife
You're nothing more to me no more than redundant bits on my hard drive.

HSA Research Grant
The Herb Society of America, Inc. (HSA) offers annual research grants to students, professionals, and individuals engaged in research on the horticultural, scientific, and/or social applications or use of herbs throughout history, based upon the HSA definition of an herb. The defining characteristic for herbs is their usefulness, past or present, including their value for flavoring, medicine, ornament, economic, industrial, or cosmetic purposes.

Allowable costs include:
- Compensation for investigators

- One paper about the project or the results must be submitted for use in a Society publication.
- Any publications using information obtained from Society funding shall give proper credit for financial support by HSA. However, HSA reserves the right to reject or accept credit in any publication resulting from the grant.
- If significant departures are made from the originally approved grant application or if the grantee cancels the project, immediate written notification must be sent to the Research Grants Committee chairperson. Based on this information or in the absence of an adequate final report, The Society reserves the right to terminate the grant and request a return of any portion of the grant not used for the intended purpose.

The Witch of Blackbird Pond
by Elizabeth George Speare
The Witch of Blackbird Pond Identity Quotes
How we cite our quotes:
Quote #1
"Would there be room in the boat for me to ride to shore with you?" she begged. "I know it's silly, but there is America so close to me for the first time in my life – I can't bear not to set my foot upon it!"
"What a child you are, Kit," smiled Mrs. Eaton. "Sometimes 'tis hard to believe you are sixteen." (1.28-29)
When the novel begins, Kit is ruled by her emotions. She often acts without thinking about consequences. Kit's impetuous nature may be endearing to readers, but as a character it can get her into a good deal of trouble. Mrs. Eaton, who is herself fond of Kit, comments upon the girl's immaturity.
Quote #2
The captain did not even glance in her direction. Kit was not used to being ignored, and her temper flared. When a thin whimper from the child was silenced by a vicious cuff, her anger boiled over. Without a second's deliberation she acted. Kicking off her buckled shoes and dropping the woolen cloak, she plunged headlong over the side of the boat. (1.43)
Unable to control her temper, Kit rashly plunges into the ocean. What are the consequences of Kit's behavior? How would you have acted in Kit's place?
Quote #3
Sometimes, as she sat knitting, aware that William's eyes were on her face, she felt her breath tightening in a way that was strange and not unpleasant. Then, just as suddenly, rebellion would rise in her. He was so sure! Without even asking, he was reckoning on her as deliberately as he calculated his growing pile of lumber. (7.45)
In the late seventeenth century, marriage would have been one of the major determining factors in a young girl's adult identity. Kit must decide if she can submit to life with William – and his ideas about what a wife should be. What is the significance of the "pile of lumber"? Why is this image a turn-off for Kit?

Product Description
The Secret to beautiful eyes
Like a beautiful picture, its frame can either enhance its intrinsic beauty of subdue it. The eyebrows help frame and bring out the charm of the eyes. For women, a thick eyebrow allows you flexibility in shaping your brows. Without sufficient density, it can be difficult to acquire the ideal shape to frame the eyes. For men, a full set of eye brows denote sexuality and masculinity. Eye brows will also enhance the intensity of the eyes. Hence, a weak brow can reduce the natural beauty of the eyes.
With the herbal eyebrow thickener, there will be no need for eye brow tattoo, eyebrow wigs or surgical implants. Here's more gorgeous hairy men.
A secret combination of herbs are soaked in wine for an extended period of time. This age old method draws out the curative properties of the herbs. This method is much like the European practice of curing liquor in oak barrels.
[ What Causes Thinning Eyebrows? ]
One's genes are the usual but not the only cause of thinning eyebrows. Other causes of permanent hair loss in the eyebrow region involve aggressive eyebrow hair tweezing, burns, trauma, alopecia areata (which can occur anywhere), and even leprosy. The cosmetic effect especially on a young woman can be devastating.
This herbal product is made from a traditional recipe to enhance hair growth at the brows and the moustach area. It can also be used as a preventive to ensure that the eyebrow hairs do not fall off prematurely. The earlier this lotion is used in one's age, the better will be the result.
[ Ingredients ]
- Chinese black wine
- Black sesame
- Peony bark
- Red ginseng
[ Application ]
It is applied a few times a day with the fingers over the brow or moustach.

Emergency authorities respond to University of Alabama's Rose Administration building after reports of hazardous mail
Published: Monday, November 4, 2013 at 7:00 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, November 4, 2013 at 7:10 p.m.
The University of Alabama Police Department and Tuscaloosa Fire and Rescue responded to Rose Administration Building late Monday after staff in the International Admissions Office reported a pungent odor and minor skin irritation after opening a piece of mail.
An examination of the letter determined that it was a normal package, and there appears to be no other cause for concern, according to UA spokesman Chris Bryant.
Bryant said it is not unusual for the office to receive mail from all over the world.
At about 5 p.m. Monday, two women who came into contact with the envelope after it was opened described a "horrible smell" and minor skin irritation to emergency medical personnel who were outside of the administration building on UA's campus. The women said the irritation subsided after washing their hands and arms.
The envelope was opened near the end of the business day, and no injuries or symptoms other than the minor irritation experienced by the two women were reported, said Deborah Lane, UA associate vice president of university relations,.
The building was not evacuated and response by fire and police, including a hazardous materials team, was a standard precaution, Lane said.
