*Your pronation type is determined by the natural motion your feet apply throughout your running gait. When you pronate your foot rolls from either the outer edge, inner edge or not at all. If your foot rolls to the outer edge when you run, you are an underpronator, if it rolls to the inner edge you are a overpronator and if your foot doesn't roll at all you are a neutral or stable runner.

Nice shoe for the price.
"These shoes aren't too expensive, look nice on my feet, are true to size, extremely light weight and pretty comfortable. I don't run in these, but got them to wear to work with my scrubs (I work in a hospital lab) and I do spend a lot time standing. I think that they would be ok to run in too, although I have had other pairs of shoes that I have run in that have more padding and are just as lightweight but cost more."

The Lukmanier Pass leads from the Blenio Valley to Disentis/Sedrun in Graubünden's Vorderrhein Valley (Lower Rhine Valley); it is nowadays passable all year. The valley, with its roads over the Passo del Sole, Greina and Diesrut Pass, is among the Alpine routes that have been used for centuries. Although it is in a rather barren mountain world, the Blenio Valley has an almost southern character: even wine-growing has a long tradition here. The mountain farmers have turned the wild valley into a scenic jewel. Tasting some of the farmers' delicious specialties is worth your while.
The valley has multifaceted cultural offerings. Among them the Museum of Blenio in Lottigna and the Cà da Rivöi in Olivone (ethnology; sacred art), the Chocolate Museum in Dangio, the mineral and fossil collection in Semione, and the Donetta Archives in Casserio/Corzoneso (Photography). There also are masterpieces of the Romanesque period in Lombardy, which include the church at Negrentino.
No less than 500 kilometers of hiking trails and numerous bicycle routes traverse the Blenio Valley. Along the valley road from Biasca via Acquarossa to Olivone you will see well-preserved villages and treasures of art history. After exploring the valley you will be well prepared for the 4-day hike on the "Sentiero alto" ("High Path") from Olivone to Loderio.
The resort town of Olivone, located at a scenic spot at the foot of the pyramid-shaped Sosto (2221 meters above sea level), is the starting point for excursions and hiking tours to the pristine Val di Campo, to the Reservoir Lake at Luzzone, and to the impressive wasteland on the Greina Plateau. Continuing in the direction of Lukmanier, you will reach the ecology center "UomoNatura" in Acquacalda, where a bed and breakfast hotel and a restaurant are found.
The attractive Campo Blenio with its ski pistes and three installations is ideally suited for families and for beginners (ski and snowboard). Winter hikers have a hiking trail and several snowshoe trails at their disposal. Nordic skiers will find cross-country tracks even near Campra. Above Leontica you will find the Nara 2000 skiing area with five lifts for skiers and snowboarders as well as Ticino's longest toboggan run (5 kilometers).

Getting the mastitis numbers we need
by David A. Rhoda D.V.M
The author is a senior partner in the Evansville Veterinary Service, Evansville, Wis.
Consistency is an important factor in caring for cows, and in no place is it more important than during milking. Ann could recite the milking technique that was used on her dairy quickly, and the words haven't changed in years. However, some milkers had changed through the years.
Several of the measures relative to the udder health in her herd had changed, too. She couldn't understand why because she felt nothing in the milking routine or housing had changed. Of the measures she watched, some of the changes appeared to be positive and some negative. She had set a goal to reduce the number of clinical cases, and that goal had been met, but the bulk tank cell count had gone up, and that concerned her.
Let's start with a few definitions relative to udder health because these two trends seem in conflict. We need to develop a true picture of the pattern of both subclinical and clinical mastitis. While both represent udder infections, there are both differences and similarities between them that need to be identified in order to make them a single package to understand udder health. The definitions that everyone involved needs to share if we're going to communicate about this are:
Clinical mastitis is a cow with abnormal milk.
A mild case is abnormal milk only.
A moderate case is abnormal milk with tissue inflammation.
A severe case is abnormal milk with tissue inflammation and at least one whole-body symptom such as fever or off-feed.
Subclinical mastitis is normal white milk with a cell count greater than 200,000.
A new case is more than 200,000 this month when the cow was under 200,000 last month even if the dry period is between the two months.
A chronic case is a cow with greater than 200,000 SCC for the last two months even if the dry period is between the two months.
A cure is a cow with less than 200,000 this month when she was over 200,000 last month even if the dry period is between the two months.
Ann had the tools we needed to identify the patterns for each subclinical mastitis and clinical mastitis. She had monthly somatic cell count, prestripping was part of her milking preparation, and she recorded mastitis cases.
Checked infection pattern
We looked for a pattern of infections in the subclinical population and the clinical infections separately. Even though they are both part of the big picture of cows getting infected, keeping them separate improves our understanding of what cows are getting infected and when they are getting infected. If we do this right, we can identify areas of opportunity to prevent exposures to bacteria that will result in reduced infections.
We seek to identify patterns of cases in the herd:
Number of infected cows by age . . . first, second, and later lactation.
Number infected at different stages of lactation: less than 41 DIM, 42-150 DIM, 151-240 DIM, and more than 240 DIM.
Number of cases by severity of case experienced by the cow . . . SCC count for subclinical, mild, moderate, and severe for clinical mastitis.
Proportions of bacteria that are causing the cases.
Number of cows that have relapsed recorded by relapse interval.
Proportion of clinical cases that were subclinically infected first.
These patterns gave us information about what cows were getting infected and when infections were occurring, but they didn't answer our question about whether a rise in bulk tank SCC and drop in clinical incidence rate were compatible happenings. The history of the rising tank cell count showed that there has been a growing proportion of cows in the herd that are greater than 200,000 SCC, not just a few high SCC cows that also are high producers. Bulk tank SCC is a composite of the contribution of cells and milk by every cow in the milking herd.
Prestripping important
Another of the three tools stated initially as important was having prestripping as part of the process for preparing a cow for milking. The prestripping is the only way that we can detect mild cases of mastitis (abnormal milk only). The third tool we wanted to use was Ann's recording of mastitis. We would expect more mild cases than the two other severities. Ann was recording the fact that a cow had mastitis and the drug she used but not the severity.
There are several layers to what is valuable information. Ann was complying with the requirement to maintain drug usage records, and that's valuable. But we were stuck when attempting to evaluate the pattern of severities of clinical cases. Was the decline in cases an actual drop or a drop in the detection of mild cases at milking time?
It appears on the surface that asking for a drop in clinical cases may have been achieved easily for Ann by backing off on the detection of mild cases, not reducing the actual number of them. What she asked for wasn't what she wanted. She wanted a decrease in exposure with a corresponding decrease in infections. Subclinical information demonstrated for sure that the infection rate was going up. Our next step needs to be evaluating the cow preparation with emphasis on the mastitis detection during milking and where exposures to bacteria may be occurring.

I was thinking about all the times I've burned the butter, or some other fail, and how writing it out always made me feel better. It quieted the hum, gave it closure. Move on.
I was thinking about it last night because, in fact, I did not burn the butter. I made a delicious soup - still adjusting to the August temperature here of sixty degrees and for the life of me I could not get warm enough - and it was uneventful. But it was, because it was good. For some reason that is less likely to go down in my history, although I have a knowing that my kids will be more likely to remember when their favorite dinners tasted good. At least that is my hope.

BETHANY - After picking up its first win of the season Monday night, the Bethany College women's basketball team will try to start off PAC play with a victory when the Bison host Waynesburg Wednesday night at 6 p.m. in the opening conference game of the season for both teams.
After dropping its first three games of the season, including a hard-fought contest at 4th-ranked Mount Union Nov. 20th, Bethany picked up its initial victory Monday by defeating Penn State-Beaver, 76-58.
After taking a seven-point halftime lead, BC used a 15-2 surge early in the second half to swell its cushion to 52-32 and go on to the win. Playing in their hometowns, senior Kayla Taormina and junior Taylor Verrico both dropped in 18 points. For Verrico, that set a new career-high, while Taormina made it a double-double with 11 rebounds.
Article Photos
The 76-point outburst came after Bethany had been held to 51 points or less in its first three games. The combination of Taormina and Verrico has provided the bulk of the scoring for the Green and White.
Taormina's big game Monday pushed her into 10th place in the conference with 12.8 points per game and Verrico is close behind with 12.0 points per game. The next highest scorer is freshman guard Mikyla Tipton (Wellsville) who is coming off the bench to chip in 6.3 points on 47.6 percent shooting from the floor.
The Bison are aiming to win their conference opener for the third straight season. Last year, BC went on the road to defeat Grove City 79-67 on their way to a 3-0 beginning in the conference.
While Bethany wants to continue its recent success in league openers, it will also be trying to turn its latest results against Waynesburg around. The Yellow Jackets swept the season series from BC last year by scores of 92-76 and 74-56 and Waynesburg has taken three of the last four match-ups between the programs.
The Yellow Jackets were one of the top teams in the PAC a year ago, going 20-8 and placing third overall to earn an invitation to the ECAC South Tournament for the second straight year.
This season, the Yellow Jackets are off to a 1-3 start overall and are lighting up the scoreboard with a PAC-best 69.2 points per game. The lone victory for Waynesburg was a 91-44 decision over Penn State Altoona, but most recently, the Jackets also fell victim to No. 4 Mount Union.
On Saturday at Waynesburg, Mount Union dominated the boards with a 63-44 advantage, including 30 offensive rebounds. A cold-shooting Yellow Jacket team made just 28 percent (19-68) from the field in suffering a 72-56 defeat. Guard Hayden Giuliani had a team-high 16 points and Brittany Spencer reached double digits with 11 markers and also hauled down a team-best six rebounds.
Spencer poses the top threat for the Yellow Jackets so far with 14.3 points and 7.0 rebounds per game, both team-highs. Giulani is just short of double figures with 9.8 points per game and guard Jessi Drayer, who is a perfect 8-for-8 from the foul line so far, is putting up 8.0 points and a team-leading 3.0 assists per game. The Yellow Jackets are aggressive on the offensive boards, grabbing 18.0 per game to rank first in the conference with Grove City.

In any scientific arena, progress is dependent upon the speed with which information about the latest developments is disseminated. This is particularly true in the field of medicine, where every step forward can represent many lives saved. It is in this spirit that I view the IMF's contribution to the field of myeloma in Russia.
The first IMF Clinical Conference in Russia took place in 2001. It was organized by Susie Novis of the IMF and Prof. Eleonora Podoltseva of St. Petersburg Hospital #31. The meeting featured an expert faculty: Dr. Brian Durie, Prof. Heinz Ludwig, and Dr. Mario Boccadoro. In addition to scientific presentations, the IMF visit included a review of patients in the transplant ward of Hospital #31. At that time, I was one of the myeloma patients hospitalized in that ward. After a consultation with Dr. Durie, I followed his invaluable recommendations and achieved a lengthy plateau.
Three years later, when my myeloma worsened, I once again consulted with Dr. Durie, this time at the Cedars-Sinai Cancer Center in Los Angeles, California. He recommended a therapy that was not being used in Russia—a combination of dexamethasone and thalidomide. I quickly responded to this treatment and my health improved.
Last summer, as I eagerly anticipated Dr. Durie's return to Russia for the second St. Petersburg IMF Clinical Conference, my lab tests once again showed an increase in the M-protein. I looked forward to consulting with Dr. Durie about my situation, as well as expanding my understanding of novel therapy options by participating in the conference.
The second St. Petersburg IMF Clinical Conference took place in September of 2005. The faculty featured Dr. Durie and his mentor, Dr. Robert Kyle of the Mayo Clinic. The day before the conference, both doctors made rounds at Hospital #31 transplant ward, and participated in patient consultations. Once again, I was one of the patients whose case was reviewed by the visiting experts and, as a result, I have high hopes for improved health and outlook.
The IMF Clinical Conference proved to be essential not only for the participating local doctors, but also for patients such as myself. I would like to commend Prof. Eleonora Podoltseva for doing such an excellent job coordinating the St. Petersburg conference, and extend special thanks to Drs. Durie and Kyle for their generosity of time and effort in educating Russian myeloma physicians.
I hope that the IMF will become a regular visitor to my country, because sharing experience and education helps our doctors improve their ability to diagnose and treat patients, and helps patients better understand their disease and to be empowered by this newly acquired knowledge.

As first impressions go, Zack Thornton - and that's Zack with a "k," not an "h" - made a terrific one in front of his new Curve teammates in just his second Double-A game Saturday night.
The Curve players didn't know Thornton, and he didn't know them after coming to the organization in a November trade with the A's for major league reliever Chris Resop. But Thornton figures to become a central part of the team in the closer role going forward, and he proved why Saturday.
"I live for those moments," Thornton said after getting out of a bases-loaded, no outs jam to preserve a 5-3 win in the second game of a doubleheader against Richmond.
The Flying Squirrels won the first game, 5-0, before 4,604 fans at Peoples Natural Gas Field. Thornton made sure the Curve came away with a split, showing no fear under the toughest adversity a reliever can face.
Charlie Cutler and Kelson Brown delivered big hits to help Altoona build a 5-2 lead after three innings, and David Bromberg turned in five solid innings. Bromberg ran into trouble in the sixth, giving up a run and departing with runners at first and third with no outs.
With the game on the line, Curve manager Carlos Garcia turned to a pitcher in Thornton he knew very little about. The reliever just joined the team from high-A Bradenton, and Garcia got a very favorable scouting report from Marauders manager Frank Kremblas.
Fact Box
Next stop
Today: Richmond at Altoona, 1 p.m.
Pitchers: Curve RHP Jameson Taillon (2-4, 3.26) vs. Flying Squirrels LHP Chris Gloor (1-1, 6.75)
Record: 15-21
"Frank said he is not afraid of being in tough situations, and he was closing for them," Garcia said.
Thornton, who was 2-1 with a 1.93 ERA and six saves for Bradenton, showed some nerves as he started off with a walk to Mark Wagner to load the bases with no outs in a 5-3 game.
Thornton didn't flinch, however, and found a way to get out of the inning with no further damage. He retired Andrew Susac on an infield popup, got Javier Herrera on a comebacker that led to a forceout at the plate and finished off the inning by striking out Joe Panik looking.
"It's a great feeling," Thornton said of escaping the jam, "especially with bases loaded and no outs in a two-run ballgame."
"It tells me he has a lot of guts because he wasn't afraid to throw the ball over the plate," Garcia said.
There really isn't even a record of Zack Thornton in minor league baseball because his name has always been misspelled as "Zach."
"Going on four years now," he said. "Yeah, my name is Zackary, but I spell it with a 'k,' and all throughout those years it's been Zach everywhere you go. And finally [the Pirates] took care of it."
One guy who did know Thornton already is Curve outfielder Andrew Lambo, who's from the same area in California.
"I went to Thorney's prom - his senior year and my junior year," Lambo said. "He knew my buddy that went to my high school real well, and somebody needed a date and I just filled in."
Thornton appeared in one Double-A game in 2011 and spent all of 2012 in high-A. Strangely, his friend Lambo is in his sixth Double-A season, but Thornton (25) is actually older than Lambo (24).
"He's got good stuff," Lambo said. "First guy [he faced] he seemed a little nervous, adrenaline's pumping, but he slowed his tempo down and did good."
Bromberg (1-4) won his first game, while Taylor Rogers (1-2) took the loss. Brown went 2-for-3 with two RBIs, and Cutler put the Curve ahead with an RBI double in the third.
Craig Westcott (2-3) won the opener for Richmond, while Casey Sadler (4-3) took the loss for the Curve, who were shut out on five hits.
Pirates second baseman Neil Walker played the entire first game and part of the second as he continued his rehab from a lacerated finger. Walker had hoped to rejoin the Pirates on Saturday in New York, but the organization decided to keep him in Double-A after Friday's Curve game was rained out.
Walker is scheduled to play all nine innings today for Altoona, then rejoin the Pirates on Monday. He went 1-for-3 with a single and an error in the first game and 1-for-2 with a single in the second game.
"Of course I wanted to join the team for [today's] game with it being the first day to come off the DL, but I would have ended up going cold turkey with no left-handed at-bats," Walker, a switch-hitter, said. "That was important for all of us. I got five good [left-handed] at-bats, and I'm just going to stay here [today] and get some more."
Doubleheader recap
Key players: SS Kelson Brown went 2-for-3 with two RBIs, and RHP Zack Thornton got out of a bases-loaded jam to help the Curve win the second game. CF Ryan Lollis had three RBIs for Richmond in the opener.
Key plays: Lollis' three-run homer sparked Richmond in game one, and Thornton's bases-loaded escape preserved game two.
Key stat: Reserves Brown and C Charlie Cutler are both hitting .318.

It's been almost 2 years since I first use Selenium/TestNG to automate test cases for SocialSite Project. At that time, I'm not aware of using XPath checker or DOM inspector to identify a web element locator ID.
The Selenium APIs and TestNG harness are much more improving and robust now. Writers should be able to search for any answers from the web since more testers/developers are writing Selenium. My long time headache problem which to open a single browser for running with multiple classes is resolved in TestNG interface ITestContext - put it before and after you start/stop your test class
public void startBrowser(ITestContext context){
browser = new DefaultSelenium();
browser.start(); }
public void stopBrowser(ITestContext context) {
browser = (DefaultSelenium) context.getAttribute("browser",browser);
browser.stop(); }
I'm writing test for both JUnit and testNG frameworks. JUnit harness has been widely using in developers community so if one doesn't often share the workspace with developers, I suggest using TestNG frameworks
TestNG has more annotations which provides more flexibility, less test depedency, advanced parametric and re-runable features. In addition, TestNG result is automatically reported in xml/html format.

There are no notices at this time.
This seminar course will examine the approaches of different legal systems to protection of rights guaranteed by the 1st Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, including freedom of religion, assembly, speech, and press. A research paper on a topic chosen by students and approved by the professor will serve as the basis for 80% of the grade; the remaining 20% of the grade will be based on class participation. (To avoid undue overlap with Comparative Media Law, less emphasis will be placed on freedom of the press than on other freedoms protected by the 1st Amendment.) Papers are not due until the end of April.

It seems to be getting uglier as countdown to Nov. 6, Election Day, continues. The usual furor over the presidential debate is still ongoing and one more controversy is brewing. One of Mitt Romney's sons, Tagg, said he wanted to hit President Obama during Tuesday night's debate.
Click on the above audio to hear Tagg say during a Bill LuMaye radio interview on Wednesday that he wanted to rush the stage and take "a swing" at the president.
The Bill LuMaye Show is aired on WPTF 680 AM and 850 AM in Raleigh, N.C. and Tagg was out pounding the pavement and drumming up support for his father.
After dropping by the talk radio show for a little Q & A, Tagg responded to this LuMaye's question, "I want to ask something that I know a lot of people want to know or at least I do, 'what is it like for you to hear the president of the United States call your dad a liar?'"
Tagg responded, with a chuckle,"Well, eh, you jump out of your seat, you want to rush down and take a swing at him."
Tagg went on to say he couldn't rush the stage and beat the hell out of the president because he was surrounded by the Secret Service. Well, he didn't use those words exactly but taking a swing means the same thing where I come from---give him a beat-down.
Instead of saying it was a poor joke and I respect the office of the president--he added fuel to the fire by saying he didn't jump President Obama because he had protection. I guess if he was alone Tagg would have taught him a lesson or two about messing with the Romneys.
Never mind his father also called the president a liar. (Remember that painfully awkward tussle over whether Obama had called the Benghazi killings a terrorist attack or not one day after in the White House's Rose Garden and moderator Candy Crowley had to fact-check Romney on the spot?)
But how dare President Obama call his father a liar, even though he has "inelegantly" stretched the truth and flip-flopped on numerous occasions. Even former President Bill Clinton is calling him a liar on his tax plan. (read more on that here:http://www.allvoices.com/contributed-news/13204304-clinton-explains-romneys-tax-plan-in-simple-terms-rich-get-250000-tax-cut-video).
Shocked? I'm not.

COLUMBIA — Had running back Marcus Lattimore remained healthy during his three seasons with South Carolina, he could have supplanted Heisman Trophy winner George Rogers as the best player in school history.
No. 6 South Carolina (1-0) at No. 11 Georgia (0-1)
When: Saturday, 4:30 p.m.
Where: Sanford Stadium, Athens, Ga.
Radio: Radio: WWIK-FM 98.9
Line: Georgia by 3.
But as good as Lattimore was, the one thing that he lacked throughout his collegiate career was game-breaking speed. His longest run from scrimmage was 58 yards, and that came during his freshman season against Troy. The longest run from scrimmage during the 2012 season was turned in by quarterback Connor Shaw, a 64-yard gain against Michigan in the Outback Bowl.
In just one game, sophomore running back Mike Davis displayed the kind of big-play speed that the Gamecocks have been missing.
Davis' 75-yard touchdown run midway through the third quarter against North Carolina in the Gamecocks' 27-10 season-opening victory last Thursday night is what USC running backs coach Everette Sands hopes to see more of this fall.
"Mike has that big-play potential," Sands said during preseason camp. "Mike can change the momentum of a game with one snap. He's got that kind of speed. It's one of the reasons why he's our starter."
Davis turned what was a routine off-tackle snap into a momentum-changing play when he shrugged off a North Carolina defender at the line of scrimmage, cut to the outside and then raced past the Tar Heels secondary into the end zone.
Three defensive backs from North Carolina had the angle on Davis as he drifted toward the Gamecocks sidelines, but none got near enough to him to make a tackle or push him out of bounds.
"I guess my speed shows for itself," Davis said. "Some people thought I would be slow, but I just wanted to show my talents."
Davis finished with a career-high 115 yards on just 12 rushing attempts against the Tar Heels.
"I wanted to set the tone early," Davis said. "I was trying to go out and punish guys and then later use some finesse."
While no one is suggesting that Davis is better than Lattimore or can replace the former All-American, Sands said Davis brings another dimension to the Gamecocks rushing attack. Sands has counseled Davis on the pressures and expectations of replacing a player of Lattimore's stature.
"No one player is going to replace a guy like Marcus," Sands said. "We don't want Mike to be Marcus. We want Mike to be Mike, and trust me, that's plenty good enough."
Having Brandon Wilds as a backup has helped take some of the burden off of Davis. Wilds rushed for 64 yards on 12 attempts against North Carolina. When Davis' older brother James was playing at Clemson, he and C.J. Spiller formed a rushing duo dubbed "Thunder and Lightning." Davis hopes to duplicate that success at South Carolina with Wilds.
"Brandon is a very big guy, very hard runner," Davis said. "He also has breakaway speed. I guess you can call both of us 'Thunder and Lightning.' "
Lattimore was especially effective against Georgia, the Gamecocks' opponent on Saturday. In three games against the Bulldogs, Lattimore rushed for 467 yards and four TDs.
Georgia coach Mark Richt said he was impressed with both Davis and Wilds on film.
"Their backs ran hard. I saw two running backs that looked like they had a really good ball game (against North Carolina)," Richt said.
Davis, a native of Lithonia. Ga., which is just a stone's throw from Sanford Stadium, said the game on Saturday against Georgia will be personal.
"I am showing all my emotions," Davis said. "It's a hometown game, UGA. I can't wait. I already have had guys call me and tell me they are going to beat us. I'm going to show all my emotions that game."

Erie police search for gun in fatal shooting
Erie police are continuing their search for a weapon in the fatal shooting of a city man on the east side Sunday night.
Police said this morning that they have not yet recovered the gun that they accuse Kenneth P. Ellis of unloading when Stevenson Jordan was fatally shot in the 2300 block of German Street on Sunday at about 10:15 p.m. Investigators charge that Ellis fired 13 rounds from a handgun, striking Jordan once on the right side of his lower back.
Police said Jordan, 37, identified Ellis, 60, through his street name, "Stitches," as the person who shot him.
Ellis was taken into police custody early Monday morning. He was arraigned late Monday afternoon on charges of criminal homicide, aggravated assault, recklessly endangering another person, carrying a firearm without a license and possessing an instrument of crime.
Investigators are continuing their search for more information in the case and want to speak to any other witnesses to the shooting. Anyone with information is asked to call Erie police Detective Sgt. Paul Bizzarro at 870-1163.

Ejection fraction (EF) is a measurement of how much blood your heart
pushes out when it beats. This measurement helps with the diagnosis and
treatment of heart failure.
Your heart has four chambers. The top two, called the atria, take blood
in from the veins and lungs. The bottom two are called ventricles. When
your heart beats, the right ventricle pumps blood to your lungs and the
left ventricle pumps blood to your lungs and the rest of your body. Even
in a healthy heart, some blood stays behind in the ventricles. The EF is
the percentage of blood that is pumped out of a ventricle with each
EFs between 55 and 75 percent are considered normal for the left
ventricle, which is the main pumping chamber of the heart. In heart
failure caused by a weak heart muscle, the EF number can become very
small. An EF of 20 percent means 80 percent of the blood stays in the
ventricle and therefore the heart is not providing all the blood the
body needs.
Doctors can use an echocardiogram, or other techniques such as cardiac
MRI or nuclear imaging, to measure EF and see how well your heart is
Although the EF is very important and is the most commonly used method
of expressing overall heart function, it is important to note that some
people have heart failure symptoms despite a normal-range EF. Also,
although a low EF is never normal, with treatment some people can lead a
fairly normal, active life despite a decreased EF.

Tiffin Park & Recreation Department's kite derby is new to this year's community Earth Day Celebration Sunday afternoon at Hedges-Boyer Park barn.
Activities at the free event are to take place 1:30-4:30 p.m. at the barn. Door prizes are to be given away and snacks are provided. Instead of a separate Kite Derby day, Tiffin Park & Recreation Department has moved its annual derby to be part of Earth Day in the area behind the pool near the shelter house.
"They'll be making their own kites and flying them," Marquis said.
Kite supplies are to be available 2-4 p.m. or while supplies last.
"If they don't want to make a kite, they can bring one," she said.
Also new this year are tours of Little Portion Green, the strawbale house on the Sisters of St. Francis campus. The house, which was completed late last fall, is to be open 2-4:30 p.m. for visitors to tour.
For the activities at the park, play clothes are recommended.
Shoes and long pants are important because they are required for participation in the popular tree-climbing activity put on by Hetzel Tree Service.
Also back this year are crafts made from recycled materials, but the crafts change each year. Among the activities planned for this year are "pig faces" and toad houses, Marquis said.
"We'll have recycled games to try out and make at home using their own recyclables," she said. "And Myrtle will be on hand."
Myrtle the Turtle is Ottawa, Sandusky, Seneca Solid Waste District's mascot, who reminds people to recycle.
There is to be candle making, wagon rides and nature hikes. Families can try stream quality monitoring in Rock Creek.
"We'll have seed planting," she said. "That's always a favorite."
This year's billboard contest winners are to be announced at 2 p.m. The contest, sponsored by OSS invites fifth-graders to design a billboard with a message about recycling.
Because of the large number of outdoor activities, the celebration has a rain date of April 28.

Therefore, an acceleration that only changes the direct of the velocity vector (i.e. centripetal acceleration) does not change the static pressure.
How anyone can actually confuse lift with the turbulance which may occur also seems odd to me .
But then it appears to be entertaining to some to try to ferret out the obvious . .
go figure
In the case of a lifting wing moving through the air, you could measure the air's angular momentum in the wing's reference frame using a point on the wing's centerline. If the wing is left/right symmetric, the air's angular momentum around both the axis that points in the wing's direction of motion, and the vertical axis (assuming wings-level flight) won't change. The left-right symmetry says that it can't.
The air's angular momentum about the "wing line" axis can change (the flow around a 3D lifting wing cannot be front-back symmetric). In fact, you can show that if the linear downward momentum in the wing's wake is increasing, the air's angular momentum about the wing line axis has to be changing (which raises the question of where the torque is coming from to cause this change in angular momentum).
at least when hurricane sandy past through where i lived, there was a great deal of wind. We all know is was flowing around the center of the storm 40 miles away, but from my perspective it was relatively straight.
when i push my hand through a basin of water in a linear direction, a circular flow is created from the water being pushed in front of my hand, around my hand to fill in behind my hand. It seems to me that at least an angular flow of water was the result of me moving my hand in a straight line.
in post #721, you included a colorful picture of the wing tip vortex. Was there a torque applied that created it, or was it simply the vertical forces above and below the wing tip due to a vertical lift force that resulted in a displacement of air in a radial path because of air blocking the flow a wing chord distance or more below the wing and the vacuum formed above it.
this is becoming frustrating ... do you need to consider the state of the air behind or to the side of the wing when trying to understand the mechanism of lift at the surface of the wing?
isn't the force of lift roughly perpendicular to the surface of the wing? doesn't it affect the air near the surface (< 1/4 chord) of the wing? don't the pressure regions causing lift also apply a force to the mass of air near the surface of the wing potentially accelerating it downward? is the air flow also affected by it's ability to move (is it's flow impeded because of the surrounding air)?
perhaps i'm not seeing the forest for the trees, or the trees for the forest.

Tangential velocity required for Bernoullis principle cannot be calculated from its relationship to the wing surface. That is not its inertial velocity. What is true is that the pressure calculation from centripetal accelerarion reduces down to being the same as Bernoullis equation. (hence all of the Bernoulli confusion.)
For some previous questions: The acceleration in centipetal acceleration is to all intents and perposes linier.
I cannot find again a free download copy of "Understanding wing lift" by J.Silva and A.A.Soares. If you can find it it is a must read. Also look for Dr klous Weltner and Gail M. Craig
"Fluid dynamics is the hardest problem in classical physics."
I've written a lot in this thread, but I haven't been trying to peddle an explanation for lift. I've been trying to show that a simple explanation based on pure vertical momentum exchange is flawed.
I first encountered this problem as a graduate student in the following context... For a jet engine to produce a given amount of thrust, it needs to impart momentum to the air at a given rate. In imparting momentum to the air, the jet inevitably also imparts energy. If you can reduce the rate at which a jet engine imparts energy to the air, you can improve its propulsive efficiency. A jet that imparts a small change in velocity to a large mass of air can achieve the same momentum exchange with less energy expenditure than a jet that imparts a large change in velocity to a small mass of air (one of the reasons you see big engine diameters where fuel economy is important).
In a conversation with my thesis advisor, I tried extend this concept to a lifting wing. I suggested that a higher aspect ratio wing imparts less velocity to a larger mass of air and therefore can impart the same downward momentum with less energy. His reply was basically: "Interesting observation, but at what rate does a wing impart downward momentum to the air?". I answered: "At a rate equal equal to the lift... Obviously". He challenged me to actually calculate the air's rate of vertical momentum change. After going through the exercise, I was very surprised to find that my intuition (based on incorrect application of Newton's 2nd Law) was completely incorrect. It turns out that the rate at which the air's vertical momentum changes depends on how the air is bounded (even when the boundaries are very far from the wing).
I'm glad I had that conversation because it has helped me grasp some subtle features of a lifting wing that I otherwise would have missed.
It should be noted that in your example (due to the ground) there were two forces applied. One by you and one at the centre of the axis by the ground.
If it were a free body where the track was on a steel plate that could slide on the ground , frictionless) then when you apply a push, the trains will move in an angular and Translational way.
The air and aircraft are both free.
The Video is an example of a feature evident in helicopters, (there is a flat glass plate on the scales) induced flow. I read your last post
The glass plate is preventing linear momentum addition to the air in the same way that the tracks prevent momentum addition to a closed string of boxcars.
If the glass plate is pushing up on the air with the same force that the helicopter pushes down, the unbalanced force on the air is?
You can not add angular momentum to a free body by way of one single application of force without there being a translational component. However you can (Theoretically) do the reverse.

My quest is to establish for certain as to whether the downwash aft of the wing is an actual reaction to lift or is it a byproduct of the system created to generate lift.

Shoe, you have obviously put a lot of effort into this. Would it be possible for you to summarize what you feel is the impact into our understanding of the creation of lift?

CHARLES TOWN - During the last three years, the Charles Town Rotary Club has raised more than $40,000 during its Christmas for Charity fundraiser. This year alone, the club handed out $19,000 to local charities.
Held November 9 at the Hollywood Casino at Charles Town Races, the fundraiser included silent and live auctions in addition to Express Bingo. More than 200 guests were in attendance.
Marty Kable, local auctioneer and Rotary member, along with his wife Carol, designed the program for the evening.

The Charles Town Rotary Club presents local charities and organizations more than $19,000 in funding.
"It came together quite nicely and fun was had by all. We had a 20-plus percent in attendance increase over the last year," Kable said. "All of this will go to various entities that represent everyone in our community, from the unborn to the newborn to those in need of hospice care. The contributions will be used by all in our community family. "
Kable presented checks to representatives of each local charity during Tuesday's weekly Rotary meeting at Oakland United Methodist Church in Charles Town.
Charles Town Rotary Club president John Williams said the fundraiser was launched three years ago, because the club's other large fundraiser is held during the summer and the members wanted to do something closer to Christmas.
The club holds a summer golf tournament that raises in excess of $30,000 for charities different than those represented during the Christmas for Charity event.
Hospice Development Director Maria Lorensen said her organization has received gifts over the last several years. This year part of the gift will go toward the Building the Dream fund for the new building on the border of Jefferson and Berkeley counties.
"We have raised $3.43 million, and we think we will get to $3.5 by year's end," Lorensen said.
Michele Price of Young Lives also received a portion of funds from Rotary.
"I work with teen moms, and because of the donations last year we had 13 girls who graduated high school - four of which are in college now. This year, we are on track to have 18 girls graduate, and three of them are foster-adopt kids who don't even live with their families," Price said.
One hundred percent of the items auctioned off were donated, and because of this, Williams said Rotary will help the area become a little brighter this holiday season.
"The Rotary motto is 'service above self.' This is an opportunity for us to participate in what Rotary believes in and give back to the community," Williams said.

had come at last. The treachery of the Thraks on the planet Bythia had resulted in the death of Jack Storm's commanding officer, and in the loss of many a fledgling Knight.
Now the Emperor of the Triad Throne had handed Jack command of the Knights and with it the responsibility of overcoming the invading Thraks. But the perils Jack faced were almost overwhelming. Bogie, the sentience within Jack's battle armor was fighting a life-and-death struggle, and it was Jack who might ultimately pay the price for the alien's survival.

Paint can lose its adhesion to a galvanized metal substrate.
What Causes It?
Poor galvanized metal adhesion can occur:
How to Solve ItFirst, use a wire brush to remove any rust on your metal surface. Then, apply a corrosion-resistant acrylic latex primer—one coat is usually sufficient.
With galvanized metal that is new or has been painted before and is rust-free, clean the surface to remove all fabricating oils.
Then, paint it with a top-quality acrylic latex paint without applying a primer.
With unpainted galvanized metal, however, always use a metal primer before you apply an oil-based or vinyl latex topcoat.

MOUNT UNION - Every year, the fields of the Agape Farm Retreat Center near Mount Union are transformed into the site of the largest Christian music festival on the east coast. Tents and campsites reach as far as the eye can see and thousands of people travel from all over the Northeast, even across the globe, to join the celebration that is Creation Festival.
This year, four stages became platforms for Christian music artists of varying genres, from worship to rock. On Thursday morning, children, teens and adults crowded at the main stage for a performance by the Australian band "for King and Country."
Kelsey Peachey, of Belleville, was in the audience. She said her love of music is what brought her to the festival for a second year.

Kelsey Peachey, of Belleville, claps to the beat of one of her favorite bands 'for King and Country' at Creation on Thursday.
"I love music and I get to see a lot of my friends here," she said.
In fact, a few of her friends are members of the bands that performed throughout the weekend. Peachey is studying music business at Messiah College. Through her studies, she had the opportunity to spend a semester at the Contemporary Music Center in Nashville, Tenn., where she met a number of current band members and aspiring musicians.
As Joel and Luke Smallbone took the stage, Peachey joined a crowd of fans to sing and clap along with the music.
Brittany Zook, of Allensville, was also in the crowd and has been attending the event for four years. She went to Creation for the first time with her youth group and has returned every year since then.
Although she shares an interest in music, Zook also volunteers at the entrance gates throughout the week and said she enjoys that too. During the evenings, she spent her time welcoming guests to Agape Farm.
"I enjoy the concerts, but also volunteering and meeting people that come through the gate," she said.
This year, she looked forward to a performance by one of her favorite bands, Switchfoot.
Zook's brother, Ryan, was also along for the ride. He said that Creation 2012 would mark his first full stay at the festival, although he had visited before.
"(Creation is) pretty cool...a lot of people," he said about the first day.
Many attendees seemed to share his excitement and wonder as they sang and danced along at the main stage.
Meanwhile, other campers enjoyed a relaxing afternoon in the shade of their campsites. Daryl and Colette Hartzler, along with their daughters, Becca and Alicia, from Belleville, were preparing lunch as the music carried on.
"I love Creation," Becca said, as she listed some of her favorite bands and performances.
The Hartzler's have been attending the festival for four or five years with family and friends. This year, Analee Gentzel, of Yeagertown, and Allison Treaster, of Belleville, as well as Dan Grove and his son, Caleb, of Baltimore, Maryland, joined them.
"It's great being with good people," Dan said about the festival.
Despite the warm temperatures and dusty dirt roads at the farm, most would agree that Creation is a positive and unforgettable experience. From the long list of musical performances including David Crowder, Chris Tomlin, tobyMac and The Rocket Summer, to the games, activities and camping, there is something for everyone. As the Creation slogan boasts, the festival is likely to become "the highlight of your summer...maybe your life."

|Self-Assembly of Polymer Nano-Elements on Sapphire
Self-assembly of polymers promises to vastly improve the properties and manufacturing processes of nanostructured materials, since self-assembly is highly parallel, quite versatile, and easy to implement. Especially promising are novel compounds known as block copolymers, formed by two chemically different polymers that are linked together. Guided patterned arrays have been produced using electron-beam lithographic techniques or nano-imprint lithography, but these methods are painstaking, and they have not yet been able to produce perfect surfaces over large areas. Recently, a group of researchers used faceted surfaces of commercially available sapphire wafers to guide the self-assembly of block copolymer microdomains. Grazing-incidence small-angle x-ray scattering (GISAXS) at ALS Beamline 7.3.3 verified the arrays' quasi long-range crystalline order over arbitrarily large wafer surfaces. It's expected that this new method of producing highly ordered macroscopic arrays of nanoscopic elements will revolutionize the microelectronic and storage industries and perhaps others, such as photovoltaics.
Crystals are naturally atomically ordered, and large single crystals are commercially available for many materials, including silicon and sapphire. The researchers knew that reconstructed surfaces of these single crystals produce facets—saw-toothed topographic patterns that are in registry with the underlying crystal over large distances. They hypothesized that they could use this phenomenon to transfer the ordering of a single crystal at the atomic level to a block copolymer assembly on the scale of tens of nanometers.
The initial steps were simple. First they chose large single crystals of sapphire cut along specific crystallographic planes. The featureless cut crystal was then heated to very high temperatures, 1300 to 1500 °C and annealed for 24 hours. During heating and annealing, atoms exposed between the edges of the cross-cut planes rearranged themselves in the lattice, with the result that the surface of the crystal reconstructed itself as a series of parallel ridges. On this serrated surface, block copolymer thin films were allowed to self-assemble into nanoscopic cylinders standing upright from the surface of the sapphire. The structures were analyzed by atomic force microscopy and by grazing-incidence small-angle x-ray scattering (GISAXS) performed at Beamline 7.3.3—the first demonstration that GISAXS can provide a metric to characterize ordering on the nanoscopic scale over macroscopic distances.
In microscope images, the cylinders appear as hexagonally packed dots with arrangements readily directed by the parallel ridges of sapphire. Each cylinder in the array is a mere three nanometers in diameter, but the array extends over several square centimeters without a flaw, unguided by any pre-existing lithographic pattern. At first the researchers were concerned that defects in the sapphire substrate could destroy the order of the array. What they found was just the opposite. Although there are indeed many dislocations in the surface of the annealed crystal, the self-assembling film of copolymers maintained its perfectly hexagonal organization right over them, covering an area of a few square centimeters. From the atomic structure of the crystal lattice to nanometer-scale copolymer structures to centimeter-scale arrays is a wide span, amounting to perfection maintained over many orders of magnitude.
The achievement of a 10-terabit array of block copolymers formed in a single step on oriented crystal facets offers immediate practical promise. By treating the film of polymer structures with a solvent, the core polymer at the center of each cylinder is easily removed. The resulting thin film is a nanometer-sized sieve of a kind that could be used as a template for data storage or nanowires or other ordered nanoscopic structures for use in electronics or other devices. Future possibilities also include working with synthetic peptides and artificial proteins, as well as with block copolymers and nanoparticles, to build new functional materials based on molecules designed with novel electronic, photonic, and biological properties.

Federal grand jury in Dallas indicts two involved in a $2.6 million federal income tax refund identity theft scheme
Two men have been indicted by a federal grand jury in Dallas for their involvement in a $2.6 million federal income tax refund identify theft scheme, U.S. Attorney Sarah R. Saldaña of the Northern District of Texas announced today.
The indictment charges Tonderai Sakupwanya and Reminico Zhangazha each with one count of conspiring to commit mail fraud and wire fraud.
Federal authorities allege the two men ran the scheme from May 2009 through May 2012. According to the indictment, the two men obtained $2.6 million in federal income tax refunds by electronically filing false tax returns with stolen personal identification information.
Using the stolen personal information, the defendants used false income and withholding information to file fraudulent returns.
The defendants also rented private mail boxes to establish mailing addresses and established bank accounts to receive the fraudulently obtained tax refunds, according to the indictment. The two men used the cash for their personal use, according to the indictment.
If convicted, each defendant faces a maximum of 20 years in federal prison and a $250,000 fine.
Sakupwanya, aka "Pound, Webster Rice, Floyd Roberts and Floyd Robbins," is in federal custody after pleading guilty in October to falsely using a passport.
Zhangazha, aka "Boss Remy," "Martin V. Masters and Roy Daniel Black," is also in federal custody. He pleaded guilty to making a false statement in the use of a passport.

It looks like John D. Ceretto may end up holding onto his state Assembly seat – and if he does, he'll have Grand Island to thank.
Early this morning, when all the votes were counted from the ballot boxes in the 147th Assembly District, the first-term Republican from Lewiston was ahead in the district by 905 votes over Democrat Robert M. Restaino of Niagara Falls.
Restaino, a former Niagara Falls City Court judge, beat Ceretto in western Niagara County by an unofficial vote of 19,784 to 18,793, a 991-vote margin.
But Ceretto won on Grand Island in Erie County, by a vote of 5,488 to 3,592 – a 1,896-vote cushion.
About 2,200 absentee ballots remain to be counted in the race but Restaino would have to win about two-thirds of them to overcome the difference at the polls.
The race was Western New York's most competitive Assembly contest and results from polling sites weren't reported until early this morning. That's because a website in Niagara County crashed in midevening and town and city clerks from across the county had to drive to the Board of Elections in Lockport to deliver memory cards from voting machines to be read.
By then, Ceretto was well ahead on Grand Island over Restaino, who was removed from the bench in 2005 after he jailed 46 people after hearing a cellphone ring in his courtroom.
The two candidates were competing in a new district that gained Democratic voters through redistricting, but it appears that still wasn't enough to give Restaino the win.
Meanwhile, there will be a newcomer to the Assembly in the 147th District, where former East Aurora Mayor David J. DiPietro, a Republican, defeated Independent candidate Christina Abt of Eden.
Of 12 Assembly races in Western New York, two were unopposed, and incumbents were favored in eight others.
For complete election results, go to www.buffalonews.com.
139th District
Republican Stephen M. Hawley, of Batavia, won re-election, facing a minor party challenge from Libertarian Mark E. Glogowski, of Hamlin, who has a doctorate in chemistry. Hawley has served in the Assembly since his election in February 2006. The son of a former assemblyman, he is an insurance company owner and former Genesee County legislator. He is a member of the committees on agriculture, insurance, racing and wagering, veterans' affairs, ways and means and women veterans. He also ran on the Conservative and Independence party lines. Hawley won with 93 percent of the vote.
140th District
Democrat Robin L. Schimminger, of Kenmore, had no trouble winning re-election to his 19th term, beating Charles M. Gilbert, an electrician who served one term on Tonawanda City Council. With all districts reporting, Schimminger won, 69.5 percent to 30.5 percent. Schimminger was endorsed by the Buffalo Niagara Partnership, as well as groups praising his stance on issues important to small business, and ran on the Democrat, Conservative and Independence lines.
Gilbert was endorsed by several labor unions, but had to overcome the well-known Schimminger, whose spending was four times greater. Gilbert ran on the Republican and Working Families lines.
141st District
Crystal D. Peoples-Stokes was expected to easily beat back opposition from Ricky T. Donovan Sr. to win a sixth term. The Democrat, a former Erie County legislator, has overwhelmed her opposition, or been unopposed, since being elected to the Assembly in 2002. With 99 percent of the vote counted, she was winning 89.7 percent to Donovan's 10.3 percent. She also ran on the Working Families line. Donovan, a state corrections officer and executive director of the Erie County Independence Party, ran on the GOP and Independence lines.
142nd District
Incumbent Michael P. Kearns, running on the Democratic, Republican, Conservative and Working Families lines, was unopposed. He has been serving since he won a special election last March.
143rd District
Dennis H. Gabryszak was easily re-elected to a fourth term. The former Cheektowaga supervisor and Depew trustee, who had the Democrat, Conservative and Independence party nods, defeated Republican Frank M. DeCarlo, a small-businessman from Lancaster, 73.1 percent to 26.9 percent.
144th District
Republican Jane L. Corwin, of Clarence, running on the Republican, Conservative and Independence lines, was unopposed for her third term.
145th District
Republican Ceretto, also running with the Conservative and Independence party support, appears in the driver's seat in the district, thanks to Grand Island.
Restaino remains popular in the Falls, and won the unofficial vote count in Niagara County, but Ceretto's cushion on Grand Island has him up by more than 900 votes with about 2,200 absentee ballots yet to be counted.
A former City Court judge, Restaino entered the race four years after he was removed from the bench for jailing 46 people after he thought a cellphone rang in his courtroom. He also is a Niagara Falls School Board member and has the Working Families line. Ceretto came out ahead in votes two years ago when he won a three-way battle with then-Assemblywoman Francine DelMonte and John G. Accardo in what was then the 138th District.
146th District
Incumbent Republican Raymond W. Walter, of East Amherst, won election to his first full term, turning back a challenge from Independence Party member Joanne Schultz, an attorney from Amherst, 54.2 percent to 45.8 percent.
Walter, an attorney with Magavern Magavern Grimm and a former Erie County legislator, won election last November in a special election to fill the remainder of the term of Assemblyman James P. Hayes. He also ran on the Conservative and Independence lines.
147th District
Former East Aurora Mayor DiPietro and Abt were vying for the seat in the far-reaching district that covers southern Erie County, parts of the Cattaraugus Indian Reservation and all of Wyoming County.
DiPietro won the seat by a margin of 55 percent to 45 percent.
DiPietro, who owns three Sparkle dry-cleaning stores, ran on the Republican and Conservative lines. Media and public relations consultant Abt had hoped to capture the support of farmers in the rural district, and ran on the Democratic, Independence and Working Families lines.
148th District
