It is over 2 years since a research paper titled "The effect of three different levels of footwear stability on pain outcomes" was published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine by Ryan et al and summarised on Runblogger."The findings of this study suggest that our current approach of prescribing in-shoe pronation control systems on the basis of foot type is overly simplistic and potentially injurious". Yes correct there was a study 2 years ago which concluded Gait analysis does not work and is potentially causing injuries. Q: How did the research change the Footwear Industry? A: It hasn't changed a thing. Running Retailers are still conducting isolated rear view gait analysis and pushing Motion Control, Stability shoes and Orthotics on an unsuspecting running public who are still getting injured. "...despite over 20 years of stability elements being incorporated in running footwear there is, as yet, no established clinically based evidence for their provision." "Motion control running footwear has yet to be proven to prevent running-related injuries." As Runblogger stated it makes you wonder if the whole pronation-control shoe paradigm is nothing more than a giant marketing gimmick.

NORTH AUGUSTA, S.C.-- Major traffic delays earlier on I-20 westbound near the state line. Traffic is clear now, but South Carolina Highway Patrol tells News 12 around 10:45am, a black Nissan Altima was traveling westbound on the I-20 bridge at the South Carolina state line.
The driver of that car, Arnold Henry, hit a bump, and his car began bouncing due to bad shocks. He lost control and the car rolled over.
Henry was transported to the hospital to be checked out, but Highway Patrol says he should be fine.
Highway patrol says this wreck also caused another wreck on I-20. A white Buick sedan slammed into the rear of a silver Buick car. Traffic had slowed due to the roll over wreck, and the driver wasn't able to stop in time.
The driver of the silver Buick was taken to the hospital to be checked out, but should be fine.

We were tele-marketed by HIKO for lower rates on electricity in Pennsylvania. We agreed to switch and requested information on the company. We received nothing. We were informed that as a promotion, we would be guaranteed a rate lower than our present supplier for at least 1 year. We received our most recent electric bill and our rate went from $.0967 to $.289 in one month. We have never received anything from the company; contract, pricing information, etc. Phoned the company to discuss and was told the pricing is a variable rate pricing and can be adjusted without notice. We were never informed about this when we were tele-marketed and the rate now is triple the rate of our former supplier. Typical of a company that refuses to give any information other than a bogus sales pitch.

United States Representative Dave Camp is a proud Roman Catholic. The Republican congressman represents Michigan's 4th District in Congress which includes places in Michigan's "Up North" region that Jews only visit for a few days each year. Aside from the handful of families who live in Traverse City year round, Dave Camp likely doesn't give much thought to Jewish people.
Dave Camp's Wikipedia entry boasts his many legislative accomplishments in Congress including taking over from fellow Michigan representative Sander Levin as chair of the House Ways and Means Committee. The last few lines of his Wikipedia entry however make up an odd footnote for a Roman Catholic congressman from Northern Michigan: "Congressman Camp has been criticized for dismissing charges against a staffer of his, Aharon Friedman, as 'gossip.' Friedman had been formally charged with contempt of proceedings by the Rabbinical Council of America for refusing to give his wife, Tamar Epstein, a Jewish divorce."
If it weren't for Dave Camp's Orthodox Jewish staff member, he would likely never even know about the Jewish legal concepts of a Jewish bill of divorce ("get"), a recalcitrant husband ("mesorevet get") or a chained woman ("agunah"). But that is precisely what is occupying a lot of his time right now even though he would rather be focused on other matters, including today's Republican primary in Michigan.
I first wrote about this case in January 2011, just one day before Dave Camp took over the House Ways and Means Committee from Sandy Levin. The story didn't get much attention then. However, a full scale social media attack has been waged recently to compel Rep. Dave Camp to force Aharon Friedman to give his ex-wife a get. This will be the first major agunah case in which social media plays a fundamental role.
As the barrage of comments were posted on Dave Camp's official Facebook page urging his cooperation in this agunah case, he quickly ordered his staff to disable public comment posting on the page. An article in Politico yesterday explains why this is a tricky matter for the congressman as religion and politics collide in the public sphere:
Friedman, a tax counsel for Camp who has worked for the Michigan Republican since 2007, must consent to the get in order for his ex-wife, Tamar Epstein, to remarry, have additional children or even for her to wear her hair uncovered as unmarried Orthodox Jewish women are permitted to do. Friedman's detractors charge that his behavior amounts to "domestic abuse."
The couple have engaged in a bitter custody battle over their daughter. After the failure of years of quiet efforts in the Jewish community — including a nonbinding request from D.C.'s rabbinical court for Friedman to consent to the get and a national rabbinical court's "declaration of contempt" against him — Epstein's supporters have increasingly turned to more public methods, including openly pressuring the congressman to intervene.
The situation is awkward for Camp because it is rare that the personal lives of congressional staffers become political issues for members of Congress. But the influential committee chairman is being dragged into the highly unusual situation now that Friedman's opponents have decided to thrust it into the public sphere.
A petition calling on Rep. Camp to strongly urge Friedman to comply and grant his ex-wife a get has already been signed by over 1,500 people. It reads, "By refusing to condemn Friedman, in fact, dismissing criticism of Friedman's behavior as "gossip", Dave Camp is by default supporting abusive behavior. We aren't asking Dave Camp to fire Aharon Friedman. All we want is for Camp to require that Friedman stop abusing his wife. It is a pity to be known as the congressman who employs and encourages abuse of women."
The Organization for the Resolution of Agunot urged concerned activists to post a message on Dave Camp's Facebook page every day until Passover, but now that the public comment feature has been turned off on the representative's Facebook page, the protesters will have to use other means. Some Jewish bloggers, including Frum Satire, have used their Web soap boxes to publicize this travesty. Rabbi Shmuel Herzfeld, the rabbi of the Orthodox synagogue Ohev Sholom, first wrote about this story in late 2010 and has made this cause a top priority. He told Politico that he will go further than the online campaign and intends to write a letter of complaint to the House Ethics Committee.
This might be the first example of how social media can help get a recalcitrant husband to end the marital legal war and present his wife with a get, but it likely will not be the last. Prior to the immense growth in popularity of social networking sites, recalcitrant husbands were compelled to give a get through ads in local Jewish newspapers and boycotts of their business. Facebook, Twitter, blogs, and other social media will be the weapon of choice in future agunah cases.
Rep. Dave Camp can bar the public from posting on his Facebook page, but as Rick Santorum can attest there is no way to close off the Web from negative publicity. Dave Camp has to decide now if he wants future Google searches of his name to result in articles about his work in Congress or about his tax counsel's personal marital conflict. The choice is his.

What prevent a simple solution in the US is the separation of state and church.
According to Jewish rabbinical law "Kofim Har K-gigit" over the "Mesarev" In other words, he can be forced by different means to give the "Get". In Israel it can even lead to incarceration. No go in the US. So the wife is found in limbo, maybe for the rest of her life. When Ms. Epstein will understand that faith has nothing to do with fanaticism and that "Baruch Hu She-lo Bra-ani Isha," Bless he who did not make me a woman, is totally false, her troubles will be over. Tamar, just get a civil divorce and get on with your life. Dave camp is the wrong address and will not help you. He simply cannot and most probably doesn't want. Good luck.
The situation is ridiculous and the Rabbinic authorities are handling the matter wrongly. It is first and foremost a travesty to involve and threaten the social standing of uninvolved individuals in the effort to force the recalcitrant husband to issue the get. The Bet Din should simply declare that the get is dejure effected by means of dina de malchutah dina, that the law of the land is the law: Once the State issues a divorce, that is what must be enforced by the Bet Din. Period. If a civil marriage is recognized, then a civil divorce must be recognized. A contract that is recognized requires that the dissolution be recognized if by the same authority.
This is a religious affair and should be kept outside the political sphere. Rep. Camp should not waste any of his time on religious fanatics with their heads firmly jammed in the Bronze Age. If the Jews cannot keep this nonsense to themselves, our representatives certainly have no business intervening in any way.
The Jews are merely irritated because they can't make rabbinical decisions stick. We are a secular country, and the contortions of the religious fanatics and their "holy" scriptures is wholly their private business - indeed, it has been a long time since clergy of any stripe could pass enforceable judgments. I suggest the way to resolve this get-conundrum is by prayer - long, insistent prayer to whatever agency the religious fanatics believe runs their lives. Isn't that what they always keep telling us, that prayer works? Here is a perfect case for the fanatics to put their money where their mouths are - a perfect test of the efficiency of the "divine" entity to whom the religious nuts seem to have devoted their lives.
But if it doesn't work, if "God" isn't listening or doesn't care, then the religious fanatics should feel free to appeal to lesser powers. Facebook and Twitter are good places to try. Only try to keep from wasting the public's time and money. No one other than religious fanatics care about your gets, your agunahs, and your other self-inflicted torments.
It seems to me the civil divorce is not yet finalized because otherwise there would have been a settlement on custody. And what about all the men who give their wives gets and then the wife does everything she prevent her husband from seeing their children or use the courts to extract high alimony payments?
irrelevant to the issue at hand
It's really simple. Marriage should be an equal union which either party can dissolve. Anything else is just wrong. Religion should not be an excuse for medieval practices in the 21st century, and civil societies must not tolerate such.
Those urging Rep. Camp to pressure Mr. Friedman to give the Get or be fired are probably barking up the wrong tree. Roman Catholics do not believe in divorce.
I believe that the entire travesty of an employer being asked to intervene in an employee's private life is false, and, in this case, borders dangerously on violating the separation of church and state. Some years ago, a courageous Orthodox rabbi found a Talmudic means of nullifying marriages which had gone sour, and in which an agunah situation resulted. He was freeing agunote, until a group of more machmir/stringent rabbis shut him down. The Orthodox rabbinate had better deal with this busha b'farhesya (public shame) halachically, and soon, because the problem will never go away.
Note Mr Feldman has no Jewish legal requirement to give a a ghet at this point.
Facts in the story presented have not been presented in their entirety.
Ghet is a Jewish legal process that Mrs. Feldman chose to step out of and create her own rules.
The Beit Din that ordered a ghet is actualy one connected to her family in various ways which in any case would invalidate its involvement.
Woman have all these organizations to help them.
Are there any to help men?
Women are permitted to refuse a ghet.
Generally, Orthodox Jewish women may not wear their hair uncovered once they have married, even if they are divorced or widowed (not as stated in the article).

EXCLUSIVE: Deadpool Dons the Venom Symbiote in "Back In Black" #1 First Look
Comic Books
A couple of news items came to my attention this week that might seem unrelated but there is a common thread that ties them together.
First of all, I was extremely saddened this week to hear of the passing of Ann Crispin.
I had heard she was ill, but I was still taken by surprise when her farewell showed up on the internet earlier this week.
I've been hesitant to make this post, but it's time. I want to thank you all for your good wishes and prayers. I fear my condition is deteriorating. I am doing the best I can to be positive but I probably don't have an awful lot of time left. I want you all to know that I am receiving excellent care and am surrounded by family and friends.
I wish all aspiring writers the will to finish and a good contract. Please continue to monitor Writer Beware and be careful who you sign with. Victoria Strauss and Richard White are there to help.
I've asked Michael to collect and read me your messages. As I don't know how things will proceed, I don't know if I'll have the strength to post on Facebook again.
This was followed a couple of days later with the news of her finally succumbing to her illness.
That was a one-two punch that I took a little harder than expected. I did not know Ann Crispin personally, we had never met at a convention or anything like that. But her work meant a lot to me. Sometimes, reading a particular writer's books, you find yourself responding to the person beneath the story. Usually it's because they put so much of themselves into the work that it feels like you know them a little; there's a sense of friendliness and invitation. Isaac Asimov's books always struck me that way, and Steve Gerber's… and Ann Crispin's.
Part of it for me was the circumstances under which I first read her books, I suppose. In the 1980s I was having a very bad time of it. No need to recount all the details, but there were a lot of days I desperately wanted to be somewhere else. Anywhere else. Often my only way out was through books and comics. Ann Crispin's books were among the most successful in achieving that escape for me, and even after I got my personal life together I remained quite fond of her writing.
Chances are, if you are on CBR reading this column, you've run across her work as well. She did a lot of media tie-in stuff.
Some people sneer at writers who do this kind of licensed thing but I never have. Writing of any kind is hard work, and the added restrictions placed upon someone who is trying to write a new story with a licensed property often cause that writer to flee screaming from the project. It's extremely difficult to do well.
But whenever I picked up something by "A.C. Crispin," no matter if it was set in someone else's fictional universe or one of her own, I knew it was going to be a good story told well, one that read with deceptive ease and simplicity.
Her Star Trek books were my favorites, in particular Yesterday's Son and its even better sequel Time For Yesterday, but I enjoyed all of them.
But it turns out that Ann Crispin actually did a hell of a lot more for the literary world than just write books that a lot of people liked. She served as a director and then as a vice-president of the Science Fiction Writers of America, and worked for years to make sure that writers got treated professionally.
Trust me when I tell you that this is a badly-needed service. For some reason, even today when international media conglomerates are so invested in protecting their intellectual properties, there is still the sense that writing and drawing stories isn't really a profession worthy of respect and payment. As Melanie Gillman points out here…
Which is why we still need advocates like Ann Crispin. Probably the most important part of the legacy she leaves behind isn't the writing– it's the work she did with SFWA on behalf of creator's rights. In 1998 she co-founded Writer Beware with Victoria Strauss. This is an invaluable online resource for anyone who writes professionally or aspires to.
Writers and artists tend to be bad at business, especially in the beginning when just the joy of seeing your work in print can overshadow everything else, including remembering common-sense financial practices. I've actually spent a lot of time in my high school Young Authors classes warning my students about various scams and explaining what they look like. There is an entire predatory industry that is built on parting aspiring writers from their cash with the promise of making them 'true professionals.' Sometimes it's coming from big companies that really ought to know better– looking at you, Amazon– and sometimes it's a fly-by-night con artist, but it's something creative people always have had to contend with; predators and con artists and crappy treatment from publishers. The idea persists that this is okay because creating stories is not real work, anyone can do it, so it isn't worthy of respect or decent pay because it's just 'fun' and not an actual job.
Ann Crispin stood against that idea more than anyone else. She devoted a great deal of her life to rooting out all the crooked publishers and reading-fee agents and vanity-press scams that have suckered so many beginners. She was often threatened with lawsuits for naming names when warning off potential victims from doing business with this or that crook, and displayed the kind of fearlessness and honesty that even a Green Lantern would envy.
I was thinking about that a lot when I was reading about all the Batwoman hubbub and the abrupt departure of J.H. Williams and Hayden Blackman from the title– the other news item that caught my attention this week. There are a lot of reports that have tried to make it about DC being anti-gay or anti-marriage or whatever, but as far as I'm concerned, they're all missing the point. This latest in DC's ongoing series of editorial missteps and PR disasters is just one more in a lonnnnng line of cases demonstrating a publisher's default position: that creators don't matter.
And from a dollars-and-cents point of view, those publishers aren't wrong. History has demonstrated, over and over, that no matter how tough fans may talk about creator's rights online or elsewhere, it never impacts the publisher's bottom line. At the end of the day everything is subservient to the readers' need to know what's going on with Batman or Spider-Man or the Avengers. Superhero comics publishers, especially, treat creators as interchangeable cogs in a machine because that's what they are as far as fans are concerned. If someone gets screwed over that's just too damn bad. There's always the apologists' argument that "they should have known what they were getting into, it's work made for hire, they signed a contract. That's the way the business works."
But it shouldn't work that way. It's not necessary for the publishing world to be a shark tank, not even when it comes to licensed properties and work-made-for-hire. It hurts the work and it chases off talented people when that happens. (Don't believe me? See this article for the whole depressing list of the people DC has alienated just since the debut of the New 52.)
Creators deserve professional respect from their employers. Ann Crispin knew that. And she made the world of SF and fantasy literature a measurably better place fighting for that idea.
That's what I was thinking about, reading the news yesterday: how much the SF creative community is going to miss one of its fiercest advocates… and how much the world of superhero comics has suffered because comics creators have never had someone like Ann Crispin fighting for them in the first place.
See you next week.
Actually, I think it has hurt publishers a great deal. Look at comics numbers now vs the sales peak.
Great post, Greg, and nice write-up on Crispin. All I can think of, though, is this: f-ing cancer. I'm getting tired of reading obits about beloved creators dying at relatively young ages because they contracted some form of cancer. Also, I think I need more than two hands to count all of the friends, acquaintances and friends/spouses of friends and acquaintances who've succumbed to cancer over roughly the past 10 years. F-ing cancer.
I would argue the industry doesn't respect creators thing isn't ENTIRELY true. Marvel do a really good job of looking after their talent (i know past creators have had some trouble here and there but that's a sins of the father issue) Dark Horse, Image, even IDW to a lesser extent seem to be looking after people too.
Gotta say, didn't know the name when i read the article, but then i saw that Han Solo trilogy book and suddenly, huh… i'd read something of her's without even knowing it.
Thing is, V-Rod, publishers didn't care about creators back then either.

The good guys certainly do deserve acknowledgement and you are right to point them out. But I'm not talking about an atmosphere that changes when key people leave. In the 1980s Marvel and DC were reversed– Marvel was the rapacious giant that chased all their top guys over to DC where Jenette Kahn and Dick Giordano oversaw a renaissance. But now they're gone and it's DC that treats creators so bad they are leaving in droves.
I'm talking about the DEFAULT position. When you look at the history of comic books from 1935 on up, and you can count the number of publishers on one hand who've consistently treated creators with respect, I think the term 'default position' can stand.
Thank you for the article. She was a remarkable woman and a hero. DC has been awful to their writers and readers. I have no idea why people continue to work for them and make their properties so valuable.
Great column, Greg. I was not aware of all the creator advocacy work that Crispin had done. Thanks very much for bringing it to my attention. And thank you for crediting Melanie Gillman for that BRILLIANT cartoon! I'll be seeking her out on tumblr now.
Boo. Ann Crispin was a terrific writer; her Star Trek novels as some of the best of the best (and there are some really good ones). Lovely tribute.
I'd never heard of Ann Crispin until right now. It speaks volumes about her that she was dedicated to providing a necessary service against formidable foes, as well as being a writer of great talent, reliability and productivity. Thank you for the links, which were also unknown to me, and for sharing such an excellent tribute to a beloved artist and an accomplished woman.
nice article and a touching tribute to ann. for i agree the industry including the comic one treats its creators as nothing but replaceble machine parts including some of the founders of the industry like the creators of superman and of course jack kirby. and glad ann was smart enough to decide some one needed to protect writers from those who would exploit them just to line their own pockets
Her Star Trek novels, I just now realized, were read by me on a dreadful summer holiday when I was 14 or so. They saved my sanity.
Greg, did you also notice the passing of science fiction grand master Fred Pohl?
I had forgotten until she passed that the current defender of writers' rights, Ann Crispin, was the A.C. Crispin of all those novelizations like that V book.
The V novel was great – from that alone I totally agree with your assessment of her work, Greg.
Greg, did you also notice the passing of science fiction grand master Fred Pohl?
I did notice, yes. In fact it was the day after Julie came home with a couple of Heechee books for me from a college library sale. I was telling her about Pohl and who he was when we got the news. Depressing week.
Greg, thanks so much for this lovely tribute to Ann. Both her own writing and her service to the writing community deserve to be remembered and honoured.
I worked in a couple of bookstores in the early 90's and I saw the name A. C. Crispin a lot. I don't think I ever read anything by her, but I may need to rectify that soon.
I know what you mean about feeling like you know the person a little bit from reading their work.
Zelazny is like that for me, Kirby as well. It's a very comforting feeling overall, but it can work the other way if you've read something by them that you don't think was very good.
I appreciate that Crispin was apparently a tireless advocate for creators, that's certainly admirable and we need more people like that to help artist from being taken advantage of.
I must respectably disagree with the sentiment of the cartoon above.
Speaking as an artist, we DO know what we're setting ourselves up for when we decide to pursue a career in the arts. Nothing is guaranteed. Nobody owes us a living off of our art. I'm speaking generally, not specifically to the comics industry, which does have more than it's share of sad, sad stories of creators being taken advantage of.
The cartoon doesn't seem to be addressing that particular concern. Frankly the cartoon comes off as self-pitying and self righteous. The first two panels are totally avoidable situations, if you don't want to enter into that type of arrangement, then by all means do not. We've all been approached with the "hey it's free publicity" deal, choose to do it that way or don't, but don't bellyache if no one wants to pay you what you believe you deserve. As far as putting your work out there for free on the internet and asking for donations, Well, for one thing that's a hell of a lot better system than anyone had pre-internet, so there's that. The artist must be getting some need met by having their artwork seen, if not paid for, otherwise why would you put your artwork out there for free? If you put it out and nobody wants to pay for it, maybe you should rethink your approach – it is a buyers market after all.
The second two panels are the ones that really bother me. If you want insurance than by all means go work some other job that has benefits. That's one of the things I've always had to do, well once I got old enough that insurance became more important to me. I've also worked day jobs that I didn't care for so I could go home at night and work on stuff that was important to me, I'd have loved to just do art full time and if the market was willing to support it I would have, but for any number of reasons (my lack of skill, networking or just an indifferent market) the money just wasn't there.
In the end it IS a labor of love and if you go in expecting to be treated like a doctor, lawyer, scientist or CEO then I have to think that's a problem with your ego or just an unrealistic view of the way the world actually works.
Artist aren't special rare creatures that deserve any more protection or are entitled to compensation just because we make pretty pictures.
BTW: I don't mean to sound so bellicose about this article. Crispin sounds like a wonderful person and a talented writer and I will seek out her work. Gillman's is a talented cartoonist and the page represented here is very nicely executed and visually appealing. I just take issue with the matter it's addressing.
I was thinking much the same thing as LouReedRichards in regards to that cartoon, but he put it much better than I would have. I've had a novella and a couple dozen short stories published, so I'm pretty familiar with everything that cartoon is referring to. I just disagree with the implied sentiment behind it.
I also have seen the name A.C. Crispin a lot but am not sure if I've read anything by her. I'll have to go through my bookshelves and see if I have any of her books. Chances are I do. She sounds like a great person and writer though.
It all just keeps pointing to a possibility I would gladly welcome–DC and Marvel need a takover by more progressive minds.
Thanks Jazzbo. What type of writing do you do?
What type of writing DID I do is a more accurate question, since I haven't really written anything in years. I was mainly writing horror and dark comedy stories. Primarily horror. I also wrote a humor column for a couple different websites over the years. It's been a long time since I've tried to write anything new. I need to get back into it, but there's always real world stuff to use as an excuse not to.
What kind of stuff do you do?
Sorry for the delayed response Jazzbo.
I do graphic design work as a day job. Night time is spent doing the occasional free-lance work, but mostly I paint
landscapes, some figurative work and still lifes. I do other stuff too, but I'm trying to concentrate heavily on the painting.

Garcia vs. Judah Rematch in Talks For The Fall?
By Mike Coppinger
Sources have advised BoxingScene.com that a rematch between Danny Garcia and Zab Judah is being discussed for the fall.
Judah and Garcia fought in April, with Garcia dominating the first half off the bout and dropping Judah. Judah, though, acquitted himself well. He clearly won the final three rounds and hurt Garcia.
There has been no offer for the rematch and talks aren't at a serious stage, but the bout is an option for Garcia's next title defense that both sides have talked about.
Garcia and Lucas Matthysse have been linked to a big fall fight, but the bout has yet to come to fruition.

Win 7
Why get graphics drivers from OEM when ATI offers them?
My HP desktop came with an ATI HD5770, using driver version 8.740.0.0, dated Aug 2010.
Windows update offered an updated driver a couple of months ago, which failed to load.
People here have recommended getting updates from the OEM (HP, in this case) instead of from Windows Update. But HP doesn't offer anything newer than that Aug 2010 version. Sux.
So I went to ATI and they have the newer driver, version 8.902.0.0
It works.
Is this the preferred method?

Note that with most "major" vendors, this is not uncommon, although with ATI chips this is less a problem than say with nVidia chips. Unless there's something wrong with the OEM's drivers for video for your board, I always recommend using the OEM drivers versus the vendor's drivers. I've seen enough burned out/destroyed nVidia and ATI video chips on laptops because the reference driver from the vendor didn't take something into account the OEM had done to the reference design for their own implementation, and caused (over the course of a year or two) irreparable thermal damage to the device.
|My System Specs
|06 Nov 2011
Desktop card Carl, not a laptop. For a desktop card there is no reason not to get the drivers directly from AMD or Nvidia. The only difference between an OEM card and retail is the OEM may have a DevID that isn't in the INF of the driver file which will cause it to not install. Biggest difference between a card bought OEM (from Dell, HP, etc) and what you can buy at say Newegg, is the price. In most cases the OEM card can cost up to twice as much as the retail.
I do agree with you about the drivers for a laptop GPU though. Even more so when the laptop uses switchable graphics, in which case the reference driver from AMD or Nvidia will fail every time.
|My System Specs
|06 Nov 2011
That is true indeed - somehow I missed the "desktop" part, which is pretty rare to get a non-reference design (although with factory-overclock, I tend to stick with the OEM's drivers).

The LPS331AP is an ultra compact absolute piezoresistive pressure sensor. It includes a monolithic sensing element and an IC interface able to take the information from the sensing element and to provide a digital signal to the external world.
The sensing element consists of a suspended membrane realized inside a single mono-silicon substrate. It is capable to detecting pressure and is manufactured using a dedicated process developed by ST, called VENSENS.
The VENSENS process allows to build a mono-silicon membrane above an air cavity with controlled gap and defined pressure. The membrane is very small compared to the traditionally built silicon micromachined membranes. Membrane breakage is prevented by an intrinsic mechanical stopper.
The IC interface is manufactured using a standard CMOS process that allows a high level of integration to design a dedicated circuit which is trimmed to better match the sensing element characteristics.
The LPS331AP is available in a small holed cap land grid array (HCLGA) package and it is guaranteed to operate over a temperature range extending from -40 °C to +85 °C. The package is holed to allow external pressure to reach the sensing element.
Key Features
- 260 to 1260 mbar absolute pressure range
- High-resolution mode: 0.020 mbar RMS
- Low power consumption:
- Low resolution mode: 5.5 μA
- High resolution mode: 30 μA
- High overpressure capability: 20x full scale
- Embedded temperature compensation
- Embedded 24-bit ADC
- Selectable ODR from 1 Hz to 25 Hz
- SPI and I2C interfaces
- Supply voltage: 1.71 to 3.6 V
- High shock survivability: 10,000 g
- Small and thin package
- ECOPACK® lead-free compliant

In April 2007, Robbie Williams was threatened by neighbour, Joe, after he invited friends over to play soccer and blocked Joe's driveway with their cars. Joe stormed out brandishing a golf club, threatening to smash the offending car's windscreen. Robbie initially thought Joe was joking, but told his friends to move their cars after he realised he was serious.
Each of Joe's eyes is a different colour.
Joe was childhood friends with Frankie Valli, Tommy DeVito, and Nick Massi. He introduced them to Bob Gaudio. Valli, DeVito, Massi, and Gaudio became the rock group The Four Seasons.
Joe shares a birthday with Mia Farrow.
Joe and his wife, Martha Haro, have one child together - daughter, Tiffany.
Director Martin Scorsese and actor Robert De Niro tracked down Joe after seeing his role in the 1976 movie The Death Collector, as they felt he was perfect for the role of Joey La Motta in Raging Bull. When De Niro first called Joe to ask him to play the role, Joe was convinced that it was a prank call and almost hung up the phone.
Joe's good friend, George Carlin, mentions him in his bit There is no God, in which Carlin says that he prays to Joe Pesci because, "unlike God, Pesci can get things done... especially with a baseball bat!"
Joe won an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for his performance in Goodfellas.
Joe worked as a barber and a waiter in the 1960s, while he tried to crack the music industry.
Joe sang as Joe Doggs with jazz organ player Joey DeFrancesco. They recorded an album on Concord Records in 2003 titled, Joey DeFrancesco featuring Joe Doggs, Falling in Love Again.
After winning the Oscar for his role as Tom DeVito in the 1990 movie Goodfellas Joe's entire acceptance speech was "This is an honor and privilege, thank you." When asked why he didn't say more, he said "I really didn't think I was going to win."
Joe has a holiday house in Lavalette, New Jersey, where he established a reputation as a community Little League Baseball Coach.
Joe is not a smoker, which is why he is often seen chewing toothpicks in his roles.
Joe is well known for answering his fan mail personally.
Coincidently, Joe recorded the song My Cousin Vinny, but it was not related to the movie of the same name.
In the 60s, Joe recorded an album under the name Joe Ritchie. It was named Little Joe Sure Can Sing and was a huge hit in Europe.
The word Pesci in Italian means the plural of "fish".
As a teenager, Joe learnt Judo.
Joe started out his musical career with Joey D and the Starliters, playing guitar in local pubs when they could get a gig.
Joe is an avid golfer.
Joe was ranked #96 on Premiere Magazine's '100 Greatest Movie Characters of All Time' for his performance as Tommy DeVito in Goodfellas.
In 2006, a prostitute, using only the name of Olivia, released a tell-all book, claiming Joe to be a repeat visitor.
Joe: (on the late Fred Gwynne) It takes somebody who's very serious to pull off a character like 'Herman Munster.' It's not simple to play the goof. Fred was not Herman. He was an intelligent, quiet gentleman.

Ecosystem Roles
Indian blue peafowl help regulate the numbers of venomous snakes, abundant lizards, and insects to maintain a stable ecosystem. Peafowl are a carrier of lice and microorganisms. In one study, Pavo cristatus was found to be a host for two louse species, Goniodes pavonis and Amyrisdea minuta. Because males and females only come together to mate and there is no parental care by the father, louse distribution is largely continued from the mother to the offspring. The father can still pass on the lice secondarily by infecting the mother, who then passes the lice to the peachicks. Females avoid this situation by picking the favored males because those mates most likely have the best parasite resistance and are less likely to pass on any parasites during copulation. In another study of captive peafowl at three different zoos, scientists tested the birds for the presence of harmful microorganisms. All three zoos had peafowl that carried Bordetella avium, Mycoplasma synoviae, Clostridium perfringens, and Escherichia coli. Bordetella avium and Mycoplasma synoviae are contagious and can be passed on to other species, but do not result in high mortality rates. Clostridium perfringens is a helpful bacteria for the digestive system of birds and is opportunistic, only becoming harmful under certain circumstances (like if the immune system is compromised by some other illness).
Mutualist Species:
- Intestinal bacteria Clostridium perfringens
Commensal/Parasitic Species:
- Intestinal bacteria Clostridium perfringens
- Intestinal bacteria Escherichia coli
- Louse Amyrisdea minuta
- Louse Goniodes pavonis
- Respiratory bacteria Bordetella avium

Posted on 11/08/2012 10:39:41 AM PST by Evil Slayer
BALTIMORE (CBSDC) Attorney General Eric Holder might not be sticking around for a second term.
Holder told law school students at the University of Baltimore School of Law that he does not know if he will stay in his job.
Thats something that Im in the process now of trying to determine, Holder said. I have to think about, can I contribute in a second term?
Holder says he needs to sit down with his family and President Obama to see if he wants to continue on the job.
[I have to] really ask myself the question about, do I think there are things that I still want to do? Do I have gas left in the tank? Its been an interesting and tough four years, so I really just dont know, Holder told students.
Holder has been under fire from congressional Republicans for what he knew about the botched Fast and Furious operation where the U.S. allowed guns to be sold illegally in hopes to track Mexican drug cartels. Holder was found in contempt of Congress for refusing to turn over documents regarding the operation. President Obama has invoked executive privilege.
Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry was reportedly killed with one of the guns used in the ATF operation.
Terrys December 2010 death lifted the veil on the bungled federal governments gun-smuggling investigation that was later the subject of congressional probes.
Federal authorities have faced heavy criticism for allowing suspected straw gun buyers to walk away from shops with weapons, rather than arrest the suspects and seize the guns there.
Two rifles bought by a gun-smuggling ring that was being monitored through Fast and Furious were found at the scene. But authorities have declined to say whether the murder weapon in Terrys death was linked to a purchase

Obamanation Communism File.
Good Hunting... from Varmint Al
Zell Miller
The best blue dog dem we ever had in the Senate.
Zell Miller in his speech at 2004 Republican National Convention....
In his keynote convention speech, delivered on September 1, 2004 at the RNC Convention, Miller criticized the current state of the Democratic Party. He said, "No pair has been more wrong, more loudly, more often than the two senators from Massachusetts Ted Kennedy and John Kerry." He also criticized John Kerry's Senate voting record, claiming that Kerry's votes against bills for defense and weapon systems indicated support for weakening U.S. military strength.
Although nominally a member of the Democratic Party, Miller has endorsed Republicans since at least 2004. He backed Republican President George W. Bush over Democratic nominee John Kerry in the 2004 presidential election and since 2003 has frequently criticized the Democratic Party, and has publicly supported several Republican candidates. In 2006, Miller did voice-overs (narrations) for Republican candidate commercials in Georgia state elections (George "Sonny" Perdue and Ralph Reed).
He declared early in 2008 that he would not support either Senator Barack Obama or Senator Hillary Clinton in the presidential election. He supported Senator John McCain instead. After Obama was elected President and Democrats increased their majorities in the House and Senate, he endorsed Republican Saxby Chambliss in the Senate run-off against Democrat Jim Martin and criticized Obama over "spreading the wealth".[
In 2012, Miller served as the national co-chair to the campaign of Republican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich. The same year, Miller endorsed Doug Collins, the Republican candidate in the 9th District of Georgia congressional race.[
My take? It isn't going to matter who.....( that is unless Obama wants to throw out a bipartisan bone to conservatives! HA)
Obama is going to control any decisions a AG would need help with... the AG is going to just be Obama's puppet!
This cartoon explains it very well.
Good Hunting... from Varmint Al
I hope he quits. I also hope his replacement isn't from that same cabal. Reno, Holder, Gorelick, Seth Waxman. That's a bad clique.
Holder is a criminal. Impeach him, arrest him, try him and execute him.
He perpetrated acts of war against Mexico without the consent of Congress and caused the deaths of patriotic federal agents.Hundreds, if not thousands of Mexicans citizens died.
I heard a couple of times on FNC this a.m. that Janet Napolitano may be a consideration for Holder's job (she wants it). I think it was Huckabee that said she'd have a hard time getting through the Senate as she's been terrible as the head of HS.
I want him in jail. Issa needs to keep his feet to the fire over a number of issues.
Fast & Furious & Bangazhi need to stay in front of Congressional committees.
I agree with those above. This piece of filth will be one of Obama's SCOTUS picks. May God help us all.
Will he be replaced by a muslim?

Meridian fire investigators say they are looking into what caused an early morning house fire on Sunday.
Firefighters say they were called to a home in the 5,000 block of 21st Street sometime between 1:00 a.m. and 2:00 a.m. Sunday morning. The fire caused extensive damage to the home. Investigators say thankfully no one was hurt during the fire.
Meridian firefighters were also called to a home on 13th avenue around 3:00 Sunday afternoon. Officials say the elderly homeowner left the house with something cooking on the stove, which led to the fire. No one was hurt and the home only suffered minor damage, but relatives living nearby say the fire had them a little on edge.

here are my brother against my cousin xD, what do you think about that game?
I'm pretty sure I've seen that before...it is a game between GMs.
Gms? haha I don't think so, there are a lot of mistakes for sure
No GM would ever have crappy knights like that! (or for that matter play Bc4 so early against the Sicilian--that is the hallmark move of weakies who don't want to study anything against the Sicilian. Generally, I'd say there was poor positional play and a bunch of hemming and hawing with the B & Kts before finally driving home the win.
It seems that your cousin is stronger than your brother ^_^
I think is a 'class B vs class A' match.
Drawn by agreement?
Scoff if you must, but I'm sticking to my guns on this.
GMs on LSD would never play this badly. I can believe they are kids or novices. Just looking at the first 10 moves is torture.
Oh yeah? Well, I'll bet you're really from Kansas City, Kansas!
I'm not even from Kansas City. I just live here.

Raman Spectra of Hydrocarbons I. 1‐Octene, cis+trans 2‐Octene, trans−3‐Octene, trans−4‐Octene, 4‐Octyne, and 1‐Octyne11(1943); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1723776View Description Hide Description
Raman frequencies, intensities and depolarization factors are reported for 1‐octene, cis+trans 2‐octene, trans−3‐octene, trans−4‐octene, 4‐octyne, and 1‐octyne. The experimental arrangement is described. The intensities were determined by use of a micro‐densitometer. Comparison of the relative intensities obtained in the present investigation for 4‐octyne with the estimated intensities obtained previously indicates that the so‐called ``estimated intensities'' are in reality estimates of densities rather than of intensities. The relative intensities are based upon an arbitrary value of 1000 for the strongest line in the Raman spectrum. A high speed, Hilger E−518 glass spectrograph was used in obtaining some of the spectrograms. With this instrument, a spectrogram of carbon tetrachloride, from which eight lines could be measured, was obtained in one minute.
The Activation Energy of the Reaction CH3+HBr = CH4+Br and the Carbon‐Hydrogen Bond Strength in Methane11(1943); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1723780View Description Hide Description
Mixtures of hydrogen bromide, methyl iodide, and iodine have been illuminated with ultraviolet light, and the rate of formation of methane as a function of the relative concentrations has been determined. With iodine absent from the system, a maximum amount of methane is formed, due to the absence of recombining reactions of methyl radicals and iodine. A comparison of the amount of methane produced with iodine present in various amounts with that produced when iodine is absent enables one to calculate the relative rates of the reactionswhen the relative steric factors of the two reactions are assumed to be approximately the same as for the reactionsThis leads to an activation energy of 1.5 kcal. for the methyl‐hydrogen bromide reaction, which, combined with the activation energy of the reverse reaction as determined by Van Artsdalen, yields a binding energy of 102 kcal. for CH3–H.
Exchange of Radioactive Silver and Bromide with Silver Bromide Suspensions11(1943); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1723773View Description Hide Description
The exchange of radioactive silver and bromide ions with aqueous silver bromide suspensions was studied. It was observed that both constituents of the silver bromide lattice exchange with the ions in solution. A strong dependence of the exchange rate on the amount of surface of the precipitates used, for both the silver and the bromide was observed. A pronounced difference was found in the exchange rate for bromide if dye molecules were adsorbed on the precipitate prior to the exchange experiment. The rate for silver was not affected by the presence of the adsorbed dye molecules. A discussion of these results is included.
The Specific Heat of Pure Iron at Low Temperatures11(1943); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1723774View Description Hide Description
Specific‐heat measurements of iron of 99.94 percent purity were determined throughout the temperature range 52° to 298°K. These measurements were undertaken because of the five sets of determinations in this region previously recorded in the literature are in disagreement, with the exception of those of Eucken and Werth and of Simon and Swain, although even these differ on an average of 1.8 percent. Present results are considered accurate on the average to within 0.3 percent, and they confirm the work of the investigators just mentioned rather than that of Rodebush and Michalek and of Griffiths and Griffiths. The entropy of iron was computed as S 298.16 = 6.49±0.03 cal./deg. (gram atom), of which only 4×10−4 is extrapolation below 1°K.
The Conductance of Aqueous Solutions of Potassium Bromide at Temperatures from 15° to 45°C, and the Limiting Mobility of Bromide Ion11(1943); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1723775View Description Hide Description
The conductance of aqueous solutions of potassium bromide at concentrations from 0.0005 N to 0.01 N for temperatures from 15° to 45° C has been measured by the direct‐current method previously employed for potassium and sodium chlorides. At 15°, there is a small logarithmic term required to represent the Shedlovsky function Λ′0, but for 25° and higher temperatures, Λ′0 is linear in the concentration. The limiting mobility of bromide ion is obtained from the limiting conductance and the known mobility of potassium ion; the temperature coefficients of the limiting bromide ion mobility are uniformly about 2 percent less than the corresponding values for chloride ion.
Phosphorescence of Adsorbed Trypaflavine and Its Quenching by Oxygen11(1943); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1723777View Description Hide Description
Dyes adsorbed at, or imbedded in, solids have a greater yield of fluorescence and phosphorescence than they do in liquid solutions. As an hypothesis, it is suggested that hindrance of the natural movement of the atoms in the dye molecule causes a delay in the internal conversion of excitation energy into molecular oscillation energy, thus favoring the re‐emission of light. The green phosphorescence of trypaflavine adsorbed on silica gel, is half quenched by oxygen at 5×10−5 mm pressure; the quenching at higher oxygen pressures is much smaller than would be expected. This fact indicates that two long‐lived excitation states (tautomers of trypaflavine) share in causing the green phosphorescence. The first (M 1) is very sensitive to oxygen, whereas the second (M 2) is insensitive. The phosphorescence still visible at the higher oxygen pressures owes its origin entirely to M 2. The quenching in this pressure range is due to the oxygen sensitivity of F, the unstable state responsible for the green fluorescence. Water vapor does not quench the phosphorescence. The quenching described by Kautsky is due to oxygen liberated from the gel by a process in which strongly adsorbed oxygen molecules are dislodged by water molecules.
The Asymmetric Rotor I. Calculation and Symmetry Classification of Energy Levels11(1943); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1723778View Description Hide Description
A table of energy level patterns for rigid asymmetric rotors is given, by means of which this approximation to the rotational energies of all molecules up to J = 10 may be readily evaluated. The symmetry classification of each level is determined and expressed in terms of the K values of the limiting prolate‐ and oblate‐symmetric rotors. A simple method is developed for calculating the transformation which diagonalizes the energy matrix and is applied to the derivation of perturbation formulas.
Steric Strains and the Anomalous Base Strengths of the Methylamines11(1943); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1723779View Description Hide Description

i was recently searching the web, as I have a weight problem and a physical disability, which prohibits me from being active to the degree of being able to exercise. I am waiting for corrective surgery on my knees and have gained wait while changing my life style to compensate for my disability.
in January I ordered a special tea that is supposed to help to lose weight and found that I was unable to drink this tea. I cancelled my subscription and found out that another co. was charging my credit card $21.11 a month for some service I never agreed to or authorized on my account. I was refunded the original amount of my subscription from Wu Yi SOURCE but some other co. I/W LIVINGLEAN 1-866-369-57NV continues to take money from my account.
I have notified my financial institute and hope they can stop this.
