This is a weekly snapshot of what was happening in Dallas, the state, nation and world the year President John F. Kennedy was assassinated.
Dallas: FBI Special Agent James P. Hosty was assigned to determine whether Lee Harvey Oswald had moved back to Dallas from New Orleans. Hosty tracked Oswald to Irving, where he found and interviewed Marina Oswald three weeks before the assassination. The agent determined the next week that Oswald worked at the Texas School Book Depository.
Texas: Dr. Michael E. DeBakey of Houston told an American Heart Association meeting in Los Angeles that he had kept a patient alive four days by implanting a plastic pump into the man's heart. DeBakey suggested a goal of an electric-powered, miniaturized pump that could be totally implanted into a heart.
Nation: NASA officials said they planned to go ahead with Project Gemini and all programs aimed at landing a man on the moon, despite Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev's apparent withdrawal from the space race. "I'm afraid this will hurt our moon program — maybe not this year in Congress — but next year," said Texas Democrat Rep. Olin Teague.
World: Khrushchev threatened to cancel a deal to buy 100 to 200 million bushels of U.S. wheat. Earlier in the month, Kennedy had authorized the sale of the surplus wheat to the Russians. Khrushchev questioned the deal if the wheat was shipped in American ships.

This chocolate is so delicious and the marbled seashells are very pretty in person! This is a set of two individual boxes, which I love because I can keep one for myself and give one away to a friend. I gave these to the women in my family one year and they are still talking about "those delicious chocolate seashells".
Smooth blended chocolate. Very nice for the holidays, but you wouldn't want to eat them all year round lol!

In the many years of playing fantasy sports, everyone of us has come to this question: Should I start my best player, even though he is in a slump? I have found that the usual answer is, Yes. The reasoning behind that is that there is a reason he is a star player, and that is because he puts up good stats, so he can only slump for so long, right? Wrong.
I feel that the if you got a guy like Sabathia on your team who has done nothing but hurt your team in every way, you should bench him until he proves that he is worth starting. So, you miss out on one good start, but missing that single win that he produces or the handful of strikeouts that he gets may put you in a not so great position to win that weeks match-up, but think of the opposite. Sabathia last week got rocked, and ended up with a 20.25 era, 3.25 whip (walks plus hits per inning pitched), with only one strikeout in four innings of work. That, not only hurts your teams chance of winning, it basically ends all hope.
There is however a big difference between a slumping pitcher and a slumping hitter. Hitters go through hot and cold streaks all through the sesason, and if your guy is "o" for his last couple of games, you may start thinking that you want to put him on the bench, but that is a mistake. Starting a hitter that goes 0/4 in a game, will not give as much emotional damage as benching a star who goes 3/4, but more importantly has 2 homers and 5 rbi's. The total stats (homers, runs, rbi's) in offensive categories are seemingly more important than the average stats (average, OBP/OPS), because they are much harder to come by. Pitching stats are just the opposite where the total stats (wins, saves, Ks) being easier to come by than the average stats (era, whip). This is mainly because if one pitcher has one bad game, then your chances of winning era and whip are almost hopeless, while if one of your hitters has a bad game you can rebound in all the other stats. All I am saying is that the Pros of starting a slumping star hitter are much, and I mean much better than starting a slumping star pitcher.
Now, I am not telling you by no means to drop Sabathia or another player that is slumping, and I especially am not telling you to trade Sabathia, unless you are getting another top tier player in return. My advice to you is to have your guy ride the pine for a couple starts until he shows signs of improvement, or if you don't have Sabathia and you see a disgruntled manager in your league with him, make a move. Send him a guy like Brian Bannister, who you may have picked up on waivers after what is still a very hot start. This may hurt your team for a couple of head-to-head games, but at the end of the season, during the fantasy playoffs, you will see the return. Bannister's hot start will be talked about as a lucky stretch, and you will be laughing in the rest of the league's fear of your dominant pitching staff headed by CC Sabathia.

Four-term Democratic state Rep. Claire Levy of Boulder has resigned to become executive director of the Colorado Center on Law and Policy. She will miss her final year at the legislature to advocate for the progressive organization around economic, health care and fiscal issues for low-income Coloradans.
"I truly love the Colorado General Assembly, and I will miss my colleagues on both sides of the aisle," said the longtime lawmaker. "But as my time as a legislator grew short, I began to think about ways I could continue to make Colorado a better place for all of its citizens."
Levy is a major loss for House Democrats, as her tireless commitment to Democratic values around criminal justice, the underserved and safety has been a rallying call for the party. She also sits on the powerful Joint Budget Committee and serves as speaker pro tempore.
Speaker Mark Ferrandino of Denver said he isn't sure what he's going to do without her, but that the caucus expects smooth transitions.
"Rep. Levy is my go-to expert on countless subjects," said Ferrandino. "I can't tell you how many times I've said to lawmakers and advocates, 'Just talk to Claire. She'll know the answer.'
"She's been an outstanding lawmaker, mentor, confidant and friend," continued Ferrandino. "The work she's done on criminal justice reform, on civil rights and on our budget will have deep and lasting impacts on Colorado. We're a better state because of her service."
Since being elected to House District 13 in 2006, Levy has sponsored dozens of bills that have widely been viewed as advancements for the state. Her greatest passion involved criminal justice, serving as a member of the Criminal & Juvenile Justice Reform Commission and chairwoman of the House Judiciary Committee under former House Speaker Terrance Carroll of Denver.
Landmark legislation included a measure that limited the transfer of underage suspects into the adult penal system and legislation that requires youth convicts detained in adult jails be given access to education.
Levy also sponsored the Job Protection and Civil Rights Act to provide employees facing discrimination with a state-level process to pursue remedies. Much of her focus was on the LGBT community.
And following the devastating Lower North Fork fire in 2012 — which was started by a controlled burn — Levy sponsored a measure that raised the liability caps of the Governmental Immunity Act so that those affected could receive larger payouts.
Other bills she worked on instituted the first statewide building code; simplified voting for military members serving overseas; prohibited texting while driving; restricted an insurance company's ability to shortchange customers on casualty claims; and created a transit and rail division within the Department of Transportation.
"Claire's legislative record is simply amazing," said House Majority Leader Dickey Lee Hullinghorst, Levy's colleague from Boulder.
It's not only Democrats who agree that Levy has been an exceptional fixture in the state legislature. Republicans have also expressed their admiration, despite Levy's unwavering commitment to her party.
Rep. Bob Gardner, R-Colorado Springs, has firsthand experience with Levy's tenacious political spirit. Some of the exchanges between the two over the years bordered on epic. Gardner most certainly served as her sparring partner in countless floor debates and Judiciary Committee hearings. Both Levy and Gardner entered the legislature as freshman at the same time.
"While we have served different parties and have different philosophies, on many occasion we have worked together," explained Gardner. "When we were adversaries, she was always respectful, but formidable. I wish her the very best, and I will miss her."
Levy's resignation is effective Oct. 31. A vacancy committee will be established to fill the seat with another Democrat once the resignation takes effect. Input will be gathered from the counties she represents, including Boulder, Clear Creek, Gilpin, Grand and Jackson.
In the meantime, Levy is preparing for her position with the Colorado Center on Law and Policy.
"I'm excited to have this opportunity to lead Colorado's premier organization dedicated to reducing poverty and advancing economic security," she said. "Economic opportunity and access to affordable health care have been priorities for me as a legislator. Addressing those issues is vital not only to Colorado's families but also to the economic health of our state."
T.A. Taylor-Hunt, president of the organization's board of directors, said Levy appears to be the perfect fit for her think tank.
"She is a proven leader with the passion and experience needed to confront the challenges facing low-income Coloradans," said Taylor-Hunt. "Her unwavering commitment to CCLP's mission and to the people of Colorado will allow her to serve as a strong voice for people who are often overlooked."
Levy will replace Christine Murphy on Nov. 1. Levy said she hopes to build on the organization's ability to have a strong voice at the Capitol on budget issues, economic opportunity and health care.
She will draw upon her experience in the legislature. Levy worked closely with CCLP, relying on the think tank for its input.
"Serving as executive director of the Colorado Center on Law and Policy gives me a powerful platform from which to continue working on these important issues," explained Levy. "CCLP has long led the charge for equitable and smart public policy on matters of social and economic justice. I look forward to… make the charge even stronger."
Joint Budget Committee replacement announced
Meanwhile, House Democrats on Thursday announced that Rep. Jenise May — who was only elected last year — would replace Levy on the JBC. As a member of the JBC, May will have input over the state's Long Bill, offering her some of the greatest power in the state.
"I appreciate the speaker's confidence in me," said May. "The JBC's job is to make sure Colorado taxpayers' dollars are spent wisely and without waste, and I take this responsibility very seriously.
While May is new to the legislature, she already has a storied history in government. She served as deputy director of the Colorado Department of Human Services, managing the department's more than $1 billion budget.
Ferrandino pointed out that May has had experience managing several disasters while at DHS, including the Windsor tornado in 2008. The speaker said her experience could prove to be valuable as the JBC responds to last week's devastating floods.
"A JBC member has to enjoy getting neck-deep in the details of government," said Ferrandino, who is a former JBC member and numbers wonk. "Claire's shoes are hard to fill, but I'm appointing Jenise because she has the best combination of experience and temperament to get the job done."
May went right to work on the year-round committee, meeting Thursday and Friday. She will find pressure not only from fellow lawmakers looking to secure funding for their districts, but also from interest groups across the state.
State constitutional law requires balancing the budget each year, so JBC members find themselves standing up to a plethora of requests.
May joins Rep. Crisanta Duran of Denver as the House Democrats' members on the six-member committee. The JBC also includes Rep. Cheri Gerou, R-Evergreen, and Sens. Pat Steadman, D-Denver, Mary Hodge, D-Brighton, and Kent Lambert, R-Colorado Springs.
"I thank her in advance for taking on all the extra work this job requires," said Duran.
May said she's ready for the work: "I've visited every county in the state and look forward to applying what I've learned and bringing a balanced approach to the budgeting process."

Mudbug is just another name for the tasty little crustacean also known as crawfish, crayfish or crawdad. Though now eaten just about everywhere, Louisiana has long been the state with greatest interest in catching, commercially raising, and eating crawfish, which is now the state crustacean. Some examples of ways to eat crawfish include: boiled, fried, crawfish pie, etouffee, jambalaya and bisque. The mudbug can be found in almost any fresh water bayou or lake, but this Mudbug microbox can only be found in Sam Houston Jones SP. The park is located just north of the most productive birding region of Louisiana, and the hiking trails winding along the Calcasieu River are very scenic. This is a different box and stamp from the original Mudbug LB that went missing, so is a new Find.
Sam Houston Jones SP is located twelve miles north of Lake Charles. From I10, exit on Hwy 171 and go north for 4 miles. Turn left on LA 378, then right on Spur 378 for 1 mile, then left again on Sutherland Road for .3 mile to entrance fee station. Pay fee, get map and drive to the Longleaf Pine Trail (Blue), bearing right at all junctions.
Walk west on the Blue Trail for about 75 yards to the first Yellow Trail sign on your left. Go on the Yellow Trail about 300 yards to another Yellow Trail sign at the river where the trail bends right. Go left behind the sign off trail for 175 steps, staying on the bluff along the river to an old bench. Continue 10 steps then go left 8 steps to stump at end of long log. Continue 2 steps to small bush behind stump where microbox is hanging in middle 1 foot high. Please rehide as described.

Commission doesn't relent on IDA defunding
SEBRING - Despite a plea for the life of the IDA-EDC, the Avon Park agency still lost its funding. The commissioners climbed out of a $6 million deficit in part by cutting the entire budget of the Industrial Development Authority, which operated on $215,000 in FY 12-13 but requested $334,000 for next year. Commissioners hotly denied that 58 percent increase request last month, and last week Ron Handley's motion to withdraw all funds passed. On Tuesday night, with current IDA chair Paul McGehee out of town on business, former chairman John Shoop asked funding to be restored for one more year."We were somewhat taken aback," Shoop said, at last week's spur-of-the-moment defunding vote. In previous years, the IDA had met privately with each commissioner, but failed to do that this year. A common criticism, Commissioner Don Elwell suggested, is that the public doesn't know what the IDA does. That's because of the need for secrecy when business executives seek information and assistance for companies they could bring here, Shoop said. Shoop outlined four projects currently in the works: Code name Impala: 30 jobs, capital investment of $2.1 million. Shoop said this project is 99 percent complete, but didn't explain if that meant the company is on the cusp of starting a business in Highlands County. Metallica, 15-30 jobs. Shoop said the IDA has worked hand in hand with Sebring Airport Authority. Pony, 200-300 jobs. Shoop said this project originated after a referral from Commissioner Jack Richie. LB Fish, 75 jobs. Shoop said this is a business expansion. "For 10 years, that's all I've heard, potential," said John Nelson, president of the local tea party. "Potential this, potential this, potential this. Walmart would have come here anyway, but how many became Walmart?" Previously, Shoop said, the IDA has played a role in recruiting Genpac, Amerikan, E-Stone, Funder America, BP, Cross Country and Walmart. Walmart currently employs 796, and 600 work at Cross Country, now known as Agero, Shoop said. E-Stone eventually expanded 50 jobs to 80. Cross Country's original investment was $3.8 million; Amerikan $4.5 million, Funder America $4.5 million, E-Stone $26 million, for a total $38 million. The IDA's effort also created the county tax abatement ordinance, the tourism development council, the small business development council and FHREDI. "You can't give up on marketing the county," Shoop said. "That shows we are not interested in growth." Closing the agency creates questions, Shoop cautioned. "We have to have an exit strategy." When the State of Florida refers a possible business or industry to Highlands County, how will that be handled, he asked? Will it go to one of the three municipal chambers of commerce? Sebring Chamber of Commerce director Steve Nyhan said he doesn't even know the lexicon of enterprise zones and brownfields. "This is a real in-depth job... It's difficult to just absorb automatically." "I feel it would be a mistake to cut funding for the IDA," Shoop said. "It takes a heck of a long time to reopen that door again. "Give it one more year," Shoop asked. "In six months, if you don't feel right, shut it down from that standpoint." Only the IDA receives funding, said Shoop. Its board also controls the Economic Development Commission, which solicits funds from private businesses like the three chambers. "It doesn't take county money." But only seven out of the county's 11,000 businesses are contributing members, Richie pointed out. "I think that's a little short." IDA director Steven Weeks is soliciting more, Shoop said. "I'm a strong advocate," Richie said. "But we have only so many dollars. We have to take dramatic action." "I'm in marketing, so I understand the need," said Elwell, "But if I had marketed my company with the effectiveness the EDC has, I would be among the 9 percent unemployed. "I suggest we allot zero at this time, and six months from now, we'll take another look at this," If the IDA-EDC brings an employer to the county, the commission could vote again on funding, Elwell suggested. "In marketing, we love deadlines, and this would give them a lot of pressure." "We don't have to make a decision at this minute, we can move on," Richie said. The commission left the subject without deciding. However, at the end of their 4.5 hour meeting, McGehee texted Commissioner Greg Harris. Blame McGehee, not Weeks, for the failure to communicate with the board, and McGehee offered to resign if the commission would restore the IDA's funding. "No," Richie said. It wasn't McGehee's fault. "It's not necessary for him to fall on his sword." firstname.lastname@example.com 863-386-5828

Naman Ojha's third successive century and Umesh Yadav's quick-fire 66-ball 90, helped India A to a mammoth 501 in reply to Australia A's first innings score of 423. At the end of day 3, Australia A were trailing by 78 runs as play was called off due to bad light after bowling just one delivery in Australia A's second essay. Phillip Hughes and Alex Doolan will resume the innings for the home team on day 4.
Earlier, resuming on the overnight total of 165/3, Baba Aparajith and Manoj Tiwary added 17 runs to the total until the former was sent back. Taking the aerial route, Aparajith handed a catch to James Faulkner at mid-off. Chadd Sayers who had claimed the India A top-order in the previous day provided his team with two more in the morning. Eight overs later he also claimed Tiwary's wicket to leave the tourists on 199 for five.
With the captain walking back for 63, Naman Ojha joined Ambati Rayudu in the middle. Ojha, who had piled on runs for India in the previous game, drove Sayers to the fence to get off the mark with a boundary. Nathan Lyon was given some severe treatment by Ojha as he slammed the off-spinner for a six over mid-wicket, following it up with a boundary in the same area. Scoring at over five and a half runs per over, the Rayudu-Ojha pair added 69 runs for the sixth wicket until Mitchell Marsh struck. Amit Mishra then joined Ojha and the duo helped India A close in on the deficit as India A walked back for lunch at 276 for six.
Ojha, who had remained unbeaten in both innings in the previous match with a double-century and a hundred, seemed to be carrying forward from where he had left. While inching towards the hosts' total, he hit Lyon for two boundaries and a six to collect 14 from one over. However, the blossoming stand between Ojha and Mishra came to end with Mishra falling to Ben Cutting. Ojha then found an ally in Anureet Singh. Ojha was as severe as he was with Lyon to Cameron Boyce as he belted the leg-spinner for 14 runs before tea. In the process, Ojha notched up yet another century and India A had posted 388/7 in the second session.
Ojha's innings was finally put to a halt by Ben Cutting as he was caught at mid-on by Sayers for 110. A few overs later, Anureet Singh followed suit and the visitors were 419/9 with Jasprit Bumrah and Umesh Yadav at the crease. India A just needed four more runs to level the scores and Umesh Yadav began to score runs with relative ease as he built on the lead. Bumrah held one end up scoring a patient 16, as Yadav played the aggressor's role scoring at will. The No.10 batsman's blitzkrieg helped India A gain a 78-run lead until Cutting returned to bring the curtains down on the India A innings.
Brief scores:
Day 1: Aus A 1st inn 288/7 in 90 overs (J Faulkner 94, P Forrest 77, A Mishra 4/114, U Yadav 3/42)
Day 2: Aus A 1st inn 423 all out in 122.4 overs (B Cutting 96, C Boyce 57, U Yadav 5/83); India 1st inn 165/3 in 55 overs (L Rahul 52, M Tiwary 50*, B Aparajith 20*, C Sayers 3/22)
Day 3: India 1st inn 501 all out in 132.2 overs (N Ojha 110, U Yadav 90, C Sayers 5/84, B Cutting 4/100); Aus A 1st inn 0/0 in 0.1 overs (P Hughes 0*, A Doolan 0*)

Naman Ojha's third successive century and Umesh Yadav's quick-fire 66-ball 90, helped India A to a mammoth 501 in reply to Australia A's first innings score of 423. At the end of day 3, Australia A were trailing by 78 runs as play was called off due to bad light after bowling just one delivery in Australia A's second essay. Phillip Hughes and Alex Doolan will resume the innings for the home team on day 4.
Report: Aus A vs Ind A – Day 2
Half centuries from Tiwary, Rahul help India reach a comfortable position
India A were trailing by 258 runs at stumps on Day 2 at the Allan Border Field in Brisbane. After bowling out Australia A for 423 earlier in the day, the visitors finished the day on 165/3.
Lokesh Rahul and Manoj Tiwary scored half-centuries to keep the match hanging in balance. When play ended on the second day, Tiwary was batting on 50 with Baba Aparajith on 20 in an unbroken 69-run stand.
With a cushion of over 400 runs behind them, Australia A came out all guns blazing. Chadd Sayers set the ball rolling with the wicket of Robin Uthappa early in the innings. The opener hit the pacer to mid-on and was caught by Chris Lynn for 10. India A had managed to put up just 23 runs on the board then. However, Rahul and Jiwanjot Singh put up a 67-run partnership to take the team to 90. But, in his next spell, Sayers sent back both the batsmen. While Singh edged a full length ball outside the off stump to the wicketkeeper, six runs later Rahul found his woodwork disrupted.
With the team on 96 for three, Tiwary joined Aparajith in the middle. The pair worked to stitch together a partnership and keep the team in the reckoning. While India A captain did most of the scoring, Aparajith played a supporting role.
Tiwary timed and drove the ball with ease, finding the boundary eight times as he inched towards his half-century. In the last over of the day, the middle-order batsman reached his fifty with a single to covers.
Earlier, Ben Cutting and Cameron Boyce built on their overnight partnership to propel the team to a big total. With a 133-run stand for the eight wicket, they took Australia A to 415 until Baba Aparajith struck to halt their flourishing partnership. Five runs later Cutting followed Boyce to the dressing room for 96. Umesh Yadav, who trapped Cutting lbw, also bowled Nathan Lyon to end the hosts' innings.
Yadav finished with a five-wicket haul while Amit Mishra picked four in the innings.
Brief scores:
Day 2: Aus A 1st inn 423 all out in 122.4 overs (B Cutting 96, C Boyce 57, U Yadav 5/83); India A 1st inn 165/3 in 55 overs (L Rahul 52, M

|Volunteers: An essential requirement for research
By Janet Hunt
Driving down Second Avenue North on weekday mornings this winter, you may have noticed women at their cars packing picnic coolers that seem more appropriate for a July outing at Larimore (N.D.) Dam.
But noting that they are in front of the USDA-ARS Grand Forks Human Nutrition Research Center, you may realize that they probably are volunteers participating in human nutrition experiments. Odds are that you know someone who has volunteered for such studies, or you may have even been a volunteer yourself.
A total of 4,172 volunteers have participated since human studies began in 1976 at GFHNRC. That's the equivalent of 8 percent of the current population of Grand Forks! Granted, they were not all local residents, as the research has included nationwide recruitment of volunteers willing to live with us for six months. And dietary information and blood samples have been collected from volunteers as far away as China.
But many of our volunteers are local, like the 20 women who are letting us control everything that goes into their mouths for 14 weeks and measure their blood, urine and calcium absorption. The study will expand our research finding that women absorb and retain their dietary calcium just as well from a high-meat diet as from a low-meat diet. In this study, we are testing whether calcium retention is further influenced by eating plenty of fruits and vegetables with the low-meat diet.
Although our scientists do what they can with experimental animals (usually rodents) and with cells in culture or direct chemical analyses of foods, it also takes human volunteers to learn how to solve human nutrition problems. For instance, to help address nutrient deficiencies in developing countries, agricultural breeders are selectively developing crop varieties that contain more nutrients such as carotene, zinc and iron. To screen different crop varieties, a laboratory procedure was developed to measure how well iron was absorbed by intestinal cells in a culture dish. These cell culture studies suggested that iron from light-colored legumes (such as great northern beans) was much better absorbed than from darker legumes (such as pinto beans).
To test human absorption, 13 volunteers from the Grand Forks community consumed the two different types of beans, carefully weighed and cooked with a minimum of other ingredients, as their breakfasts on two mornings. This allowed us to test how well the volunteers absorbed a specific iron isotope that had been added to the beans. Unfortunately, this test revealed that iron was poorly absorbed by the volunteers from both light and dark beans. But there was a silver lining: because of the efforts of these 13 volunteers, the research was refocused to find more successful ways to improve iron nutrition.
The volunteer spirit is alive and well in Grand Forks, and the conscientious efforts of the volunteers participating in human nutrition studies are the envy of researchers in larger cities. Although volunteers for this UND-approved research typically are given a monetary stipend for their time and efforts, my experience is that they take seriously the opportunity to contribute to new nutrition knowledge. Blizzards generally will not stop them, although some studies were interrupted by the 1997 flood. In the early stages of flood evacuation, several volunteers called seeking advice about how they could purchase groceries to substitute for the research diets.
One man called to explain that he temporarily was living in Devils Lake. Because he was regularly driving to work at the Grand Forks airport, he figured he still could pick up his food at the center and continue the study. Of course, most of the GFHNRC employees preparing his food also were being evacuated, so that study got postponed for a few months.
Another gentleman in the same study was invited back to participate in follow-up studies that extended blood measurements for another three years. When he also agreed to let us test his DNA for a common genetic mutation associated with excessive body iron, he smiled at me and joked "I'll let you do anything but clone me."
So, if at a party or restaurant you see volunteers bringing their own food in a cooler and eating every weighed crumb, realize that they are contributing in a unique way to improving our knowledge about healthy eating. Thanks, volunteers; we couldn't do the research without you!

NEW DELHI: Master Blaster Sachin Tendulkar shall begin a fresh innings, though not in cricket but in politics as a nominated member of the Rajya Sabha. The President nominated the batting legend, along with film actress Rekha and businesswoman and social worker Anu Aga, to the upper House on Thursday.
The news of Tendulkar's new role as a nominated Rajya Sabha MP was greeted with much cheer by the politicos as well as cricket bodies like BCCI. While Congress welcomed the move, saying that his nomination would give a lot of support to sports, BJP said the nation was proud of Sachin. "If Sachin is being nominated, surely he would devote some time to Parliament," said BJP leader Ravi Shankar Prasad.

Thought I would try one of these chains because ProTaper builds some of the best Handlebars / steering componets, grips, etc. - not again.
I will go back to my RK, DID or even Renthal. This chain has streched extremely fast. Excessive wear as compared to chains of comparable price. I have had to tighten this thing every few heat races & already removed a link with less than 5 hrs.
Can only speak for 420 size chain being run on a KTM65 - maybe their other sizes are different / better quality??

Samsung Electronics, a global leader in digital media and digital convergence technologies, recently announced a record all-time high for its telecommunications segment in the third quarter of 2011 registering solid quarterly sales of USD 13.32 billion, up 37 percent from the previous year and operating profits of USD2.25 billion. This represents an operating profit margin of 16.9 percent for the quarter.
Samsung announced revenues of USD 36.90 billion on a consolidated basis for the third quarter ended September 30, 2011, a three-percent increase year-on-year. For the quarter, the company posted consolidated net income of USD 3.08 billion, representing a 23-percent decrease year-on-year. Consolidated operating profit for the quarter was USD 3.80 billion. In its earnings guidance disclosed on October 7, Samsung estimated third-quarter consolidated revenues would reach approximately USD 36.65 billion with an operating profit of USD 3.75 billion.
In the Gulf region, Samsung mobiles currently holds 22 percent market share and is looking to increase this share through launching a comprehensive portfolio of tablets, mid-range phones, and smartphones. With this strong and diversified portfolio, Samsung will aim to increase its mobile shipments in the region by 30 percent by the end of this year.
"We've had a remarkable year with the launch of our flagship smartphone the GALAXY SII and the launch of our GALAXY tablet range. In the Gulf market we recorded a 60 percent increase year-on-year in mobile communication devices sales for the third quarter of 2011," said Ashraf Fawakherji, General Manager of Telecommunication Group at Samsung Gulf Electronics.
"In the fourth quarter, we expect the telecommunication segment to grow steadily by 15 percent with the continued strong demand of mobile handsets, tablets and the launch of the new GALAXY Note in the region." he added.
Globally, Samsung's Mobile Communications Business saw revenues rise 39 percent year-on-year to USD 12.89 billion. Handset shipments rose more than 20 percent quarter-on-quarter, driven by growth in the smartphone segment where sales were up more than 40 percent on-quarter and 300 percent year-on-year. Samsung continued the global rollout of its flagship GALAXY SII, which has now sold more than 10 million units in the five months since its introduction.
Despite enhanced price competition, the average sales price of Samsung's handsets increased on-quarter, while sales volume for the GALAXY Tab portfolio of tablets increased with the expansion of the 8.9- and 10.1-inch devices into the lineup.
Samsung expects strong seasonal demand to drive sales of its diverse portfolio of smartphones in the fourth quarter assisted by the launch of new premium devices, including the latest 5.3-inch GALAXY Note which is opening a new mobile device category. Strong demand in the region will sustain tablet growth in the quarter.

A person who is batshit crazy is certifiably nuts. The phrase has origins in the old fashioned term "bats in the belfry." Old churches had a structure at the top called a belfry, which housed the bells. Bats are extremely sensitive to sound and would never inhabit a belfry of an active church where the bell was rung frequently. Occasionally, when a church was abandoned and many years passed without the bell being rung, bats would eventually come and inhabit the belfry. So, when somebody said that an individual had "bats in the belfry" it meant that there was "nothing going on upstairs" (as in that person's brain). To be BATSHIT CRAZY is to take this even a step further. A person who is batshit crazy is so nuts that not only is their belfry full of bats, but so many bats have been there for so long that the belfry is coated in batshit. Hence, the craziest of crazy people are BATSHIT CRAZY.

Stories from DEP is a collection of feature articles
published in DEP's internal newsletter, Weekly Pipeline.
This article was originally published February 1, 2011.
Protecting the quality of New York City's drinking water takes place from the watershed to the tap, and is made up of many components including watershed protection, water monitoring, sampling and well-maintained mains. So how do laundries, commercial car washes, breweries, canneries, dry cleaners, exterminators, slaughterhouses, supermarkets, schools, restaurants, barber shops and beauty salons fit in? Each is legally required to install a backflow prevention device (BPD) to prevent contaminated water or chemicals from flowing back into the public drinking water supply system. Backflow prevention devices, also known as cross connection controls, function by containing potential contamination within the premises of the user. For example, car washes with strong recirculation pumps could inadvertently force contaminated water back into the distribution system if they did not have the proper backflow prevention devices on their water services.
In 2010, Deputy Commissioner Jim Roberts, Bureau of Water & Sewer Operations, launched a Backflow Prevention Enforcement Initiative following a thorough review of the risks associated with cross contamination. Since then, more than 16,000 property owners have been notified of the need to install a backflow preventer. Over the next four years, DEP plans to inspect more than 20,000 buildings based on the potential risk posed by the building or business to the water supply system. As many as 100,000 buildings in New York City may be required to install a backflow prevention device, and more than 22,000 buildings are from the 36 use groups such as canneries, breweries, and laundries that may pose a higher risk of contamination to the water supply system. Since 1987, all new buildings have been required to have backflow prevention devices unless DEP has granted them an exemption in order to qualify for a certificate
of occupancy.
For the Chief for Permitting & Inspection Jim Luke, not only are cross connection controls an important part of protecting the public water supply, but they bolster DEP's extensive water quality testing and monitoring program to ensure the quality of water in the distribution system. Investigators go door-to-door and perform on-site assessments to determine whether a property needs a BPD. About 50 percent of properties inspected by DEP staff have required installation of BPDs. If a device is needed, the property owner must retain an engineer or architect to design plans. When the plans are reviewed and approved, the device must be installed by a licensed plumber, and a device must be installed on all water service lines to the property. Appropriate devices can be identified by a Professional Engineer, Registered Architect or Licensed Master Plumber.
According to Luke, "most building owners quickly install a backflow prevention device once DEP has notified them of the need to do so," and they understand that they are part of the system. He finds that combining enforcement with extensive, targeted public outreach and education, results in greater compliance. DEP's Cross-Connection Brochure, and supporting forms and documentation are available online, and by mail from the city's non-emergency helpline, 311. The brochure is available in seven languages including Spanish, Russian and Korean. One thing is clear, no matter the language, keeping New York City's water the best in the world is a team effort and everyone needs to do their part.

When work began on the restoration of the American Irish Historical Society on Fifth Avenue in May 2006, few people realized how direly in need of refurbishment the building had
actually become. One year later it's re-emerging again, but this time transformed into a state of the art museum, library and cultural center fit for the 21st century. CAHIR O'DOHERTY meets Society President Dr. Kevin Cahill and enjoys a sneak preview of the dramatic changes in store.
BY the spring of last year the venerable old American Irish Historical Society townhouse at 991 Fifth Avenue in New York was like an old dowager in the last decade of her life - still stately and imposing, but softer around the edges and looking more and more like the end was finally in sight. For many it was hard to admit that the old girl was on her last legs, but the truth had to be faced - the famous library was dark and poorly ventilated, entire wings had to be closed off to flooding when it rained, and people were known to fan themselves with quite remarkable vigor during the weekly lectures (it was always either too hot or too cold, year round). Things simply had to change.
It is Irish America's good fortune that the society President Dr. Kevin Cahill takes such a keen interest in the promotion of the venue. With his hands on stewardship (and working closely with board members like Donald Keough, Bob Devlin, Maureen Bateman, Denis Kelleher and James P. Murphy and the Executive Council) every stage of the full-scale restoration project has been painstakingly overseen.
"The interior of the building was designed by Ogden Codman, of whom there are many books written. His biographer is a woman called Pauline Metcalf and she and other visitors from the Metropolitan Museum of Art have been over and told us that our restoration is possibly the best one they've ever seen. They are nominating it for landmark and restoration awards," Cahill told the Irish Voice.
The American Irish Historical Society itself began in 1897 when the founder members met in Boston to establish the organization whose motto was "that the world may know" how much the Irish had contributed to the making of the U.S.
The society bought its Fifth Avenue premises in 1940, in a move that was attended by Governor Al Smith and Mayor Fiorello LaGuardia and congratulated by society member President Franklin D. Roosevelt. Before they bought it, it had belonged to a widow and then to a banking executive, but the most famous master of the premises was William Corey Ellis, the then president of U.S. Steel who deserted his wife in a terrific scandal and lived there during his highly visible affair with a showgirl. It's the kind of storied past that delights newcomers and gives a sense of the building's place within a wider story.
For Cahill the restoration process has been a true labor of love. "The wonderful thing about all this is that we are able to restore and preserve the original colors and designs that Ogden Codman created. They were often painted over or placed behind plasterboard or veneer and we've been able to rescue them all.
"It took at least a couple of years before we started construction last May to do the preparations and we're hopeful of finishing within the next two months."
Although Codman's interior design work is widely celebrated in its own right, it so happens that the society can also boast the involvement of one of the nation's top architects and designers, George Lawson. "He did a lot of work for the Millennium Park in Chicago and now he's come to New York and taken on the redecoration. With his help we're at a stage now where we are close to completion. When we started, this building was so decrepit that my wife and I used to put down pillows covered with drapes so that people could sit down," Cahill said.
All of that bowing and scraping has changed utterly. Now there are state of the art temperature controls on every floor of the building to create and maintain pleasantly air-conditioned public spaces for lectures, readings and conferences - and to protect the large book collection from the ravages of humidity and time. Every brick in the building has been carefully re-pointed, a dynamic surround sound speaker system has been built into the walls of the lecture spaces and throughout the building so guests will clearly hear each event without seeing all the microphones and associated clutter.
Skylights and windows that were blacked out for decades have been rediscovered and restored, surpassing their former glory. Stained glass windows that were created in the Gilded Age have also been beautifully reinstated. To those who knew the society's building before the contractors came, the place has been so transformed for the better that it is at time almost unrecognizable.
MOS, the Yon-kers-based construction firm headed by one of the most well known general contractors in
the city, Mike O'Sullivan (working alongside his project manager Tom Lenihan), has a team working six days a week since May 2006.

|HylaFAX The world's most advanced open source fax server

If I know the user FaxNotify is running under it may explain why I'm having a problem. $SPOOL/bin/notify (the default one w/ HylaFAX processes FaxNotify) is run by faxq, as the uucp user that faxq by default normally running as. Linux (like many unixes) doesn't allow a user to "give away" file ownership. If you want a file to be owned by a non-uucp user, you'll either need to make a special suid program to do that change for you, or move queue the file somewhere to have a root-running job to change ownership. a. ____________________ HylaFAX(tm) Users Mailing List _______________________ To subscribe/unsubscribe, click http://lists.hylafax.org/cgi-bin/lsg2.cgi On UNIX: mail -s unsubscribe hylafax-users-request@xxxxxxxxxxx < /dev/null *To learn about commercial HylaFAX(tm) support, mail sales@xxxxxxxxx*

HUB Mentor Protégé Spotlight
Building Partnerships through the Mentor-Protégé Program
July/August 2011
- State Agency Sponsor: University of Texas at Austin
- Mentor: Warden Construction Company
- Protégé: Patriot Electrical; Prometheus Electrical Systems
- Industry: Construction
Strength in Numbers
With more than 50,000 students on campus daily, the pace of life at the University of Texas at Austin can seem frantic. But the pace slows during semester breaks and summer sessions, which allows the university to complete construction projects.
"Our busy construction times are definitely during Christmas and summer break when the students aren't around," says Muriel Kruse with UT-Austin's Project Management and Construction Services. "Those are the times that firms can get experience working with the university."
And that experience can benefit state-certified historically underutilized businesses (HUBs) that participate in the university's mentor/protégé program. All Texas state agencies and institutions with biennial appropriations of more than $10 million must support mentor/protégé relationships.
The mentor business normally is the larger and more established in the partnership. Mentors help protégé companies with paperwork, personnel issues and more. But in addition to logistical know-how, mentors provide job opportunities for their protégé partners.
"The way I look at it, if it weren't for this program and my affiliation with Warden Construction, I would not have a chance to work within the University of Texas," says Orlando Riveron, founder of Patriot Electrical, a protégé partner in the program.
Where the Jobs Are
Through UT-Austin's program, the Austin office of Jacksonville, Florida-based Warden Construction Company serves as mentor to Patriot, as well as two other companies. In that role, Warden assists its mentors with paperwork, budgeting, invoice submission and more.
"Those [processes] can be daunting if you don't have experience with them," says Greg Flores, Warden's mentor/protégé coordinator in Austin.
Warden's contracts with the university come through UT's Job Order Contracting (JOC) process. JOC contracts allow entities to move quickly on common construction projects through multi-year contracts, reducing paperwork and other bureaucratic hurdles.
"The benefit for Warden Construction Company is that they have [local] partners they can tap into for this fast-paced work," says UT-Austin's Kruse. "For the protégés, listing the experience of working with an institution of higher education is a big plus when it comes to bidding on future jobs."
Prometheus Electrical Systems is another of Warden's protégé partners. Founded in 2009, the three-employee firm specializes in residential and commercial electrical work. Originally a one-man operation, Prometheus worked multiple jobs at UT-Austin in summer 2011 as a direct result of its affiliation with Warden.
"The networking opportunities and making those connections is tremendous, but getting to do some work for them is the biggest benefit," says Gary Smith, the company's founder. "That has certainly led to us being able to add employees." For Warden, it comes down to trust in its protégé companies — trust that they can step in adequately to complete the job, on time and within budget. That trust is earned through performance. For Warden's protégés, it's a huge benefit to pick up the experience, and having Flores — himself the son of a small business owner — as an ally adds to the package.
"Working as the mentor in a partnership like this is about sacrifice; it really is," Flores says. "How can a small business get the opportunity if no one is looking for them to see how bright they are? How can they rise up and be successful? We give them the chance to get some experience, which gives them work history with a university. That makes them more enticing for bigger jobs down the road."
Stay in and Network
Social media outlets have proven to be a surprising ally in helping to spread the word about business, says Gary Smith, founder of Prometheus Electrical Systems. Prometheus, which partners with Warden Construction Company in UT-Austin's mentor/protégé program, uses various social media websites to gauge customer reviews and feature its work. "Being new and small, we are trying to be as visible as possible and build some reviews for future jobs," Smith says. Angie's List and Yelp.com have helped build the review base for the company's reputation, while Facebook has provided a platform to which Smith can add pictures from the job site and generate discussion.
"It hasn't cost us a dime, yet it's helped us generate revenue," Smith says. "If other businesses aren't taking advantage of social networks, they're missing out."
