The retrospective study by Stranders et al1 describing the relationship of elevated admission blood glucose levels (>200 mg/dL [>11.1 mmol/L]) in nondiabetic patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and mortality is a useful addition to the literature on risk stratification in AMI. There are several points in this article that we would like to bring to the attention of the readers. First, in the study population, approximately 50% received thrombolytic or primary angioplasty and the remainder were managed conservatively, yet the in-hospital mortality of 2.5%, 7.1%, 6.9%, and 4.6%, respectively, in groups 1 through 4 is superior to that of most trials that managed with more aggressive strategies.2 This finding would be unusual in a population of patients that had the number of in-hospital events as the study population. It would also have been helpful if the authors' analyses considered additional factors that are known to be associated with short- and long-term outcomes, such as Killip class, systolic blood pressure, heart rate, and medication administration (eg, β-blocker, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase inhibitors, and aspirin). Finally, if admission blood glucose level is truly an independent predictor of mortality in AMI, further studies regarding admission blood glucose level and outcomes for AMI will need to be performed because the management of AMI has evolved so rapidly in the recent past.

I am helping someone remotely and typing this as I attempt to fix the
I have a user with a Dell Inspiron 8600 laptop that has a bizarre problem
with its integrated Intel 2200BG wireless connection. When hard-wired, the
laptop works fine. When connected via wireless, it cannot browse the web,
but it can ping by IP and by domain name.
It has XP Pro SP3 with all current updates, the driver is the latest from
Dell, and I tried the latest one from Intel. It connects to a Netgear WGR614
wireless router with its latest firmware.
I have a strong signal and either letting Windows manage the connection or
using the Intel ProSet management app results in the same behavior. What is
so odd is that ping by name or IP works (network layer?) but browsing does
not, which is at the application layer. I can Telnet to a mail server on
port 143 (telnet is app layer). Uh, oh, here is an update. It actually just
loaded Google, but only several minutes after opening IE7 (same result with
Firefox). It is EXTREMELY slow. I have a remote control application that
normally takes a few seconds to reconnect if the computer is rebooted (it
does reconnect quickly to me when hard-wired) but it takes over 10 minutes
to reconnect via her wireless connection.
What could be causing such extremely slow wireless behavior? If we plug in a
cable, it is blazing fast. I have reset the TCP stack as well as Winsock to
no avail.
Any gurus with ideas?
Thank you!

Six approaches to landscape architecture.Ā
By Ann Forsyth and Katherine Crewe
Is the practice of landscape architecture differentiated mostly by style and project type, or are there other important differences
in approach among members of the profession?
By examining the work of contemporary landscape architects, we have discovered six distinctive approaches to practice. They vary
on many dimensions apart from project type or even specific styles. These include design process, client or audience, scale, knowledge base, ethics, nature, and power. These help shape differing approaches to form and aesthetics.
The acronym "landSCAPES" summarizes the six approaches:
S design as Synthesis
C Cultivated expression
A landscape Analysis
P Plural design
E Ecological design
S Spiritual landscapes
S design as Synthesis
C Cultivated expression
A landscape Analysis
P Plural design
E Ecological design
S Spiritual landscapes
These approaches to landscape architecture can be examined further
in eight categories: (1) the goals, (2) the process used in design
or analysis, (3) main clients or audiences, (4) the scale of concern,
(5) the intellectual or knowledge base, (6) the ethical approach,
(7) relation to the natural world, and (8) the analysis of power
relations or the larger role of landscape architecture in society.

Bar Servery & Kiosk Security Shutters
Samson specifically offer a vast selection of aluminium and steel security roller shutters designed for effective use as bar, kiosk, serving and reception desk physical protection. Whether one of our bar & kiosk roller shutters are used to protect valuable goods or simply to close off an area after hours, we ensure to provide the highest levels of security needed along with ease of use and the highest of quality in operational design and finish.
Each security bar shutter is designed mainly for use in low and medium risk internal areas. This means they are often not as strong as external security shutters and therefore can be obtained at a lower price.
Some shutter types provide a choice between having a totally solid curtain or a high vision curtain which allows high levels of light both in and out of the shutter. This is achieved through having either perforated slats or rectangular punched out open sections inthe slats for maximum vision. There are many benefits of having a high vision see-through security shutter such as improved levels of airflow, natural light being able to light the room to help save energy costs and provide an overall more attractive appearance.
Not only used on bar serving areas and reception kiosks, Samson Doors facilitates the use of roller shutters on servery hatches, catering trailers, service counters, display areas, secure cupboards, shops and more.
One of the major advantages in our security roller shutters is the minimal space required to support the structure. Requiring just two guide rails and a shutterbox above, a secure roller shutter from Samson Doors rewards you with large open spaces when the roller shutter offers the open use of worktops for filling out paperwork in a reception area, presenting displays, resting drinks within a pub/bar and serving food.
Security shutters for bars and serving counters are usually required to be fairly wide and yet have the smallest possible curtain roll to maximise the space above a bar area for the storage of glasses and bottles. This is easily achieved with the SeceuroShield and SeceuroVision range of shutters.
The basic foam filled aluminium SeceuroShield 150 shutter offers low security and minimal colour choice but still provided a good solution in premises where appearances are important e.g. hotels and restaurants.
For higher security requirements, the SeceuroShield 38 and SeceuroVision 9000 models are ideal. The CD 38 model is available with a solid, perforated or a punched open or punched and glazed curtain roll to ensure strength and still offer some good vision. The Seceuroshield 38 is one of the best all round security shutters as it achieves high security with a very strong extruded double skinned slat but also has a small depth to each slat enabling a smaller roll size and therefore it is far more usable in situations where space above may be limited, this is usualy the case in bar and serving areas. We cover the whole of the London area for security shutters, and have surveying and installation servces for London and the surrounding areas
Bar & Kiosk Security Shutter Range
The image to the right shows all the specific basic measurements used when referring to a security roller shutter for almost any purpose.
The roller shutter security layout is the same for almost any model where there is always a roll at the top which is the curtain rolled up so will vary in size depending on the height and the thickness of the curtain lath used.
The side guides are available im any different widths and depths to offer high levels of security as well as extra resistance to high winds in exposed areas, although not normally encountered inside of course this does offer greater resistance to a forced attack.
These variations in the hood and endplate size and the guide width obviously effect the overall width and height so be careful what measurements you are referring to when specifiying a roller shutter. They can obviously be installed outside, inbetween or inside an opening and these sizes will all be relevant to ensuring the best installation. Operation for almost every shutter can be manual or electric and there are many variations in the methods of locking and control. For multi shutter applications some thought must be given to how each shutter is to be controlled if they are electric and to open and close multiple shutters is possible or one by one depending on locations and building layout.
Security roller shutters of any kind can be either spring assisted, rod and crank operated or pulley operated in manual format or the ever increasingly popular electric barrel motor operated for ease and convenience. The motor operation is a very well priced option nowadays for most applications and reliability is not an issue. The motor drive units are inside the barrel so completely hidden with the only requirement being a power source. The control is ever increasingly using complete wireless technology meaning much faster installation times and complete flexibility on the access control methods used.
The standard wall mounted internal switch may well still be the most popular method for commercial use but for the home the choices are endless including control using your mobile smart phone or Ipad.
Side for Handing
The handing when referring to the side for operation for say the crank handle or the side which the motor is fitted and therefore has the power cable and also the manual override is ALWAYS taken from the NON HOOD COVER side - i.e. the side of the security shutter which shows the flat fascia panel. If you were installing the security shutter to the outside face of an opening then this would mean the handing is taken from looking inside the building outwards.
Call us now for a discussion on the options available for security shutters and the very best prices on the highest quality products currently available in the UK. We can supply the shutters for your own installation or provide a full installation service for you or your customer. We offer a consulation service once approximate pricing has been established and agreed. You can send in images of the windows or doors, approximate measurements and we can return with suggestions and pricing options.
General methods of operation
Motor & Switch
These are required on larger shutters and are optional on smaller shutters. Tubular motors fit inside the axle and require a 3 amp fuse. Standard operation is by rocker switch, key switch or remote control.
Spring Loaded
For external operation on exit doors, shutters can be spring loaded with a transverse key lock in the bottom slat. A popular option for bar, servery, counter, cabinet and kiosk applications.
Rod Crank
Shutters are raised and lowered from inside by a geared rod crank winding handle which hangs down vertically underneath the box and secures on a clip when not in use.
Geared Belt
Depending upon shutter size the belt is operated manually or by geared crank handle. This is a low security option.
Swivel Belt
Shutters are raised and lowered from inside by a belt.

Colm O'Rourke: The GAA must go back to school to win field battles
Published 29/11/2009 | 05:00
A fter a year of 125th anniversary celebrations, largely carried out in a tasteful and reserved manner, the focus for the GAA now must be the future.
There is always a certain fear of the unknown and with uncertainty all round many will wonder if the role of the GAA can be as central going forward as it has been, especially over the last 30 years.
In that period, the GAA has blossomed. When I started playing adult football there were few really good club pitches and the standard of dressing rooms was pretty basic. Showers were a rarity and a player with a bottle of shampoo was liable to assault. They were not the good old days.
Since then the development of infrastructure has been phenomenal and there is a much more organised games programme in every county, even if club players are still neglected in getting sufficient matches on a regular rather than haphazard basis.
County football is also better developed and much better supported. I can recall Meath playing Kildare in a Leinster semi-final in Tullamore about 20 years ago with only about 15,000 at it. Nowadays that would be looked upon as a very small crowd.
The growth in summer supporters means venues like Tullamore no longer get big games and the sooner a system is devised to get more big games into county grounds during the summer, the healthier the GAA will become. Our heroes should be seen regularly on their home patch.
In the past a lot of GAA recruitment has taken place in schools and the primary school sector has been particularly innovative recently. One of the great fears as women began to dominate teaching was that sport in general, and Gaelic games in particular, would suffer. The opposite has often been the case as many young female teachers who have played football themselves have shown they are just as capable of coaching as their male counterparts.
The GAA would benefit from greater involvement of women in more powerful positions within the organisation. Yet the GAA in second-level schools struggles in many urban areas and loses out to soccer and, increasingly, rugby. This is a challenge for the GAA but it's also an educational issue.
The national games of any country deserve special status. This is especially important for an organisation which does not have an international outlet and must compete with sports which get saturation TV coverage. The two that are closest to each other in this regard are Aussie rules and the Gaelic games.
One has gone the professional route, the other sticks to the amateur line. Which type of game best serves the people is open to debate, but the development of community spirit is fostered best in an amateur context, even if the lines between amateur and professional are continually blurred in the GAA.
My belief is that Gaelic games should be a part of the curriculum of all schools. There are only a few things that distinguish Ireland from Britain and the rest of Europe; one is language, another is a different type of sport. Both need to be funded at a central level to ensure survival.
Now you don't need to be some sort of Irish-speaking GAA fanatic to respect the preservation of our cultural identity. It is part of what we are.
Those who love sport and appreciate its value in the development of young people will understand that a particular fondness for one game is not incompatible with an appreciation of all others. Real sportsmen like all sports. The qualities of discipline, respect, loyalty and manliness are common to each and are an inherent part of the education process.
I don't just talk about this. I actively promote it through my school where football, hurling, rugby, athletics and basketball all work well together. There is no conflict between rugby and football as the two suit different types whereas football and soccer tend to draw from the same pool.
The point at issue here is what status the GAA should enjoy in our school system. There are few rugby schools, for instance, who would give the same time to football as we do to rugby. It really should be the opposite.
An indigenous game should have state support in the education system -- not to try and ram a particular sport down anyone's throat but rather to appreciate the uniqueness of our own cultural heritage. That is something the GAA should be pushing for over the next decade -- a Leaving Cert subject called 'sport' with a compulsory section on the GAA and optional sections on other games. With possibilities for study in diet, physical fitness, psychology and many other areas, this subject would have as much merit for serious study as art, construction studies, music or anything else
that allows young people to excel in their chosen fields. Not to mention the health benefits involved.
So over the next decade the GAA needs to change tack a little and move away from physical development and more towards games promotion. The schools are where that battle begins.
Last year I was highly critical of the Government cutbacks in education and the way they would impact on sport. Most GAA schools are doing their best to keep on promoting the games in difficult circumstances, yet in this context and in the interest of balance, I find it very difficult to understand the selfishness of strike action by public sector unions when so many people are struggling to survive and parents are stressed out with prospects of unemployment. Proper leadership would avoid something which alienates the most vulnerable.
The real challenge in schools for the future will be to integrate those of different races to appreciate and enjoy Gaelic games while at the same time trying to ensure all young people are exposed to our national sport through the school system. That is what vision and real leadership is about. Building the stadiums was easy, the next part may be much more difficult.

Children's Hospital of Philadelphia apologized Wednesday for the way it had communicated with the parents of Amelia Rivera, the 3-year-old disabled girl whose quest for a kidney transplant has garnered national attention.
In a statement released with the approval of the Riveras, the hospital said it was reviewing its processes to ensure that it was "sensitive to the needs of all families."
In January, Joe and Chrissy Rivera said that a hospital physician had told them the girl should not have a transplant because of her mental disability.

Kyle Parker and Russell Wilson meet Saturday on the football field but have really only faced each other once.
Last March, Wilson pitched in relief against the Clemson baseball team and walked Parker. It might be the only time the two face each other in a one-on-one situation. Both dual-sport athletes will watch each other perform from the sidelines at Memorial Stadium this weekend, and the rivals could soon be teammates after each was drafted by the Colorado Rockies in June.
Parker, a first-round pick, and Wilson, a fourth-round pick, are undersized by NFL standards for quarterbacks and are expected to pursue professional baseball careers. Parker and Wilson -- both outfielders -- will likely begin their professional careers at Single-A Asheville (N.C.) next year. Parker said they have exchanged text messages.
"I'm no genius, but I don't think it has happened before," said Parker of he and Wilson's situation.
Clemson sports information director Tim Bourret wrote that the Parker-Wilson meeting might be the most celebrated individual matchup at Clemson since 1984 when Virginia Tech defensive end Bruce Smith played Clemson and William Perry.
Parker has baseball bragging rights over Wilson with his 20 home run campaign in the spring, College World Series trip, and his signing bonus: Parker signed for $1.4 million, Wilson signed for $200,000.
But Wilson holds the football bragging rights this fall.
Wilson leads the ACC's No. 1 offense, leading the ACC in passing (287 yards per game) and total offense (321 ypg). The junior has also led N.C. State to a 3-1 record in the ACC and a key victory over Florida State last week.
Clemson defensive coordinator Kevin Steele said Wilson presents a different challenge than Auburn's Cam Newton, but the challenge is similar in degree of difficulty.
N.C. State likes to spread the field with multiple receivers, looking for one-on-one matchups, and Wilson is accurate in the pocket or on the run.
"When rushing three, he doesn't have any place to throw it but he can pull it down and run," Steele said. "Rush four, you better balance rush lanes and keep him in the well so he can't slip up inside or over the top, which is a hard task. Rush five or six and you better get there, because now you are limiting coverage options, now you got one-on-one matchups so you better get there.
"I don't think anyone wants to play corner in this league when it's one-on-one coverage and pass rush doesn't get there."
N.C. State receivers Owen Spencer and Jarvis Williams have size and speed and will test a Clemson secondary that surrendered big plays in the passing game against Auburn, Miami and Boston College.
"We are playing much better defense," Clemson coach Dabo Swinney said. "We are getting after the quarterback well, we've had some scores on defense, but it's a big challenge."
Despite the quarterback skills of Wilson and Parker, both stand around 6 feet tall, and their size makes baseball their likely futures.
Parker gave up $800,000 in negotiations with the Rockies in part to continue to explore his football option, but has indicated baseball is his likely path. Parker said it's unlikely he will go to the NFL combine in February and plans on reporting to spring training in March.
"It's not like scouts and agents are saying 'You are going to be at the combine, right?" Parker said. "It's not a decision I've even thought about."
Parker said returning to Clemson was in part to see "what my future is going to be … feeling it and seeing. … I don't think I'm at that decision right now. … I haven't sat down and thought about my future, obviously I have some solid options. There are a lot of conversations to be had. But obviously I'm valued as a first-round pick."
Ellington update
Swinney said leading rusher Andre Ellington will meet with a foot specialist today in Greenville and the staff will then have a better of idea when Ellington can return. Ellington is already thought to be out at least two weeks with a ligament issue in his foot. If the tear is significant, it's conceivable the Berkeley High product will be out for the rest of the regular season.

Effective cervical cancer prevention relies on frequent screening and appropriate management of abnormal test results to prevent cells with precancerous changes from progressing to cancer. Historically, guidelines were simple and clear: screen annually with Papanicolaou (Pap) tests, evaluate abnormal results with colposcopy and diagnostic biopsy, treat most abnormal results by means of either excision (loop excision) or ablation (cryosurgery), and then resume annual Pap testing. This approach was simple and easy to implement, but it led to overevaluation and overtreatment of many women still in their childbearing years.

COLUMBIA - South Carolina continued to collect preseason recognition on the second day of college football's watch lists being released.
Sophomore center Cody Waldrop was one of 66 players named to the Rimington Trophy Watch List, which is awarded annually to the nation's top center. Senior tight end Rory Anderson was one of 40 players named to the Mackey Award Watch List, given annually to the nation's top tight end.
Clemson center Ryan Norton was also on the Rimingtom watch list.
When healthy, Waldrop has flashed major potential. The 6-foot-2, 309-pound youngster started six games for the Gamecocks last season, and he's expected to be South Carolina's starting center this fall. The key will be staying on the field. Waldrop also missed seven games because of injuries last season.
Anderson tore his triceps muscle during spring practices, but he'll be back in time for the start of the season. The injury threatened to derail a promising senior year. Anderson caught 17 passes for 235 yards and made nine starts.
South Carolina has now placed four players on preseason watch lists. Junior running back Mike Davis was named to the Maxwell Award Watch List on Monday. Sophomore receiver Pharoh Cooper was named to the Paul Hornung Award Watch List, given to the nation's most versatile player.

Clothing collection to help church campers from Albion area
ALBION -- Your old clothes could help children go to summer camp.
Albion Church of the Nazarene has become a drop-off location for used clothing through St. Pauly Textile Inc. The Farmington, N.Y., company sends the clothing to people who can use it and gives the church cash, which the congregation is putting toward camp expenses.
"It both helps others by getting clothing out to them, ... and it's one where we're able to benefit children of the church and community by raising funds for them to be able to get to summer camp," the Rev. Wayne Hennen, pastor of the church, said.
St. Pauly's website says it's a for-profit company that helps small nonprofits raise money. Funding comes from organizations like governments, relief groups and private companies that St. Pauly works with.
"It is cheaper for them to contract with our group than to go on the open market and purchase clothing when they need it," the site says. "Basically, they get a bigger bang for their dollar when they work with us. We then share the compensation with the organizations that we work with."
Hennen's congregation hopes to bring in about $70 a month, he said. Every two months would come close to the cost of sending one child to a Nazarene camp near Butler. Hennen said the price per child for five days this year was $155.
Donations have been slow, but the drop-off shed has only been in the parking lot at the church, 9580 Route 6N, for a few months.
"It's been sparse so far, but we're just really getting the word out now," Hennen said.
He's hoping that this is a better time of year for donations, suggesting that the shed is a good place to take leftovers from yard sales.
The shed, about 12 by 8 feet, was provided by St. Pauly and has a slot for donations and a mailbox from which donors can take receipts.
Hennen said the collection isn't just for clothing. Shoes, sneakers, belts, purses, linens, blankets, curtains and stuffed animals also will be accepted.
Donors who can't get to the church can call to have someone pick up items.
He said St. Pauly maintains and empties the shed. The company's website says the clothing isn't shredded.
"All of the clothing collected is shipped whole-garment and will be worn by someone, somewhere," the site says.
Hennen said St. Pauly approached his congregation about being a drop-off location.
He said Corry Church of the Nazarene is another.
The St. Pauly website lists four other locations in Erie County.

• We studied the diphosphanilate salt of chlorhexidine (WP-973), as a 2% cream, for therapeutic activity in two rat models of fatal burn wound infection. Control treatments were infection and placebo cream; infection only; infection and 1% sulfadiazine silver; and burning only. Activity against Pseudomonas aeruginosa or Proteus mirabilis was tested in surface-inoculated rats with 20% scalds. Treatments were initiated 24 hours or four hours, respectively, after inoculation. Pseudomonas-infected rats were treated once a day for ten days. Proteus-infected rats were treated once a day for five days. In these experimental models, chlorhexidine diphosphanilate was equal to silver sulfadiazine, an established topical chemotherapeutic agent. In vitro activity was examined using bacteremia isolates from 65 burned patients. Using agar diffusion trench plates, chlorhexidine diphosphanilate was active against all strains. No evidence of cross-resistance between sulfonamide and chlorhexidine diphosphanilate or its components was observed.

Ethan PringleTouchstone Climbing Athlete
Born and raised in the Mission district of San Francisco, I was introduced to the wonders of nature before I could walk. I first set foot in Mission Cliffs at age eight. Mission cliffs was and still is one of the premier climbing gyms in the country and happens to be only Four blocks from my home. At the gym I met some amazing people who had a profound effect on me and I was very lucky to meet climbers willing to take a snotty but enthusiastic little kid on outdoor climbing trips to places like Pinnacles, Mickey's Beach, Bishop, Owens River Gorge, Red Rocks, and Mt. Charleston. Those people I am forever indebted to. Since climbing is still such a small community, as a youngster I had the opportunity to climb and become friends with people who inspired me people who I read about in magazines and were my heroes at one time like François Le Grand, Jason Campbell, Liv Sansoz and Chris Sharma. At twelve I began to compete. Since then I have been on the U.S. climbing team every year, placing top three in almost every comp I've entered, and winning a few national and international level competitions.
Joe KinderTouchstone Climbing Athlete
Joe Kinder's first climbing experience was in Estes Park, Colorado on a family vacation when he was 13. It wasn't until two years later, while living in New Hampshire, that Joe became fully overtaken by the sport of rock climbing. Known for his outrageous personality and infinite psyche, Joe is walking motivation. He eats, sleeps and breathes climbing and stays true to his personal slogan "ALWAYS PSYCHED!!!".
After graduating college at the Maine College Of Art he became a professional athlete by age 20. Joe's personal philosophies stem from experiences, friendship and travel throughout his life as a climber.
The approach or "One life to live" is how he lives day-to-day and it shows in his positivity, which is infectious. Whether reaching out to people through his well-read, popular blog, or meeting climbers in person at crags around the globe, he is able to share his genuine passion for this sport in an amazing, unforgettable way. No one forgets meeting Joe.
Nick BradleyTouchstone Climbing Athlete
Nick was born in 1997 in the quiet city of Livermore where he was eventually introduced to climbing at the local gym. He immediately threw himself into competitions. Since then, Nick has made podium at SCS Youth Nationals for the past 5 years, including two 1st place finishes, and has competed internationally in Austria and Canada. Outside, his proudest achievements are on-sighting Whole Shot 5.13d in Maple Canyon, redpointing a couple 14a's including Omaha Beach in the Red River Gorge, and bouldering v12, such as Maze of Death in Bishop. Other than climbing, he enjoys running as cross-training, and a bit of photography.

Abraham H. Foxman, ADL National Director, said that after months of anxiety over the crisis and its implications for Israel, "this survey should calm the American Jewish people."
Major findings
Other findings
The survey found that 73 percent of Americans believe that "Palestinian
leaders are inciting the violence because they haven't gotten everything that
they wanted in the negotiations." Fully 58 percent of the respondents said
the goal of the Palestinians and the Arab states is not peace but "the
destruction of Israel."
The poll found that public approval of Palestinian leader Yasir Arafat has
plummeted. Of the respondents, 26 percent expressed the view that Arafat has had
a positive impact on the peace process, while 38 percent said they believe
Arafat has had a negative impact. In addition, 51 percent of Americas believe
that Arafat is not committed to the peace process.
The poll found the American public is misinformed about some important facts
about the current conflict. For instance, 46 percent of Americans believe the
West Bank and the Gaza Strip have remained, "almost completely under
Israeli control" since the peace process began in 1993. In fact, 40 percent
of the West Bank and virtually all of Gaza have been returned to the
Still, sixty four percent of Americans said they closely follow news accounts
of the conflict.
The poll of 1,400 Americans was conducted by Penn, Schoen & Berland and
First International Resources between January 25 and February 17, 2001. The poll
was sponsored by the Anti-Defamation League, the Conference of Presidents of
Major American Jewish Organizations, the American Jewish Committee and United

1. Team NZ are not immune to error
They enjoyed a charmed run through the Louis Vuitton round robin, barely setting a foil wrong as they swept all before them, albeit on most days they didn't actually have any competition. Still, Team NZ's boat-handling and crew-work were virtually flawless - setting the benchmark for their rivals.
But the opening two days of finals racing have shown they too can make mistakes. And in these high-powered but skittish racing machines, one small error can have quite dramatic consequences. It only took a puff of wind at the wrong time to send the bows of their $10 million catamaran plunging into the water in race one. Had Luna Rossa not struck problems of their own before the incident, Team NZ could have found themselves in real trouble, with Barker forced to nurse NZL05 around the course for the rest of the race with the torn carbon fibre of their damaged fairing flapping in the wind.
2. Team NZ look fast
In the little glimpses we have seen of Team NZ before they struck gear problems in the opening two races, they looked to have significantly advanced their boat since we last saw them on the race course in July.
Prior to suffering hydraulic failure yesterday, Team NZ demonstrated blistering upwind speed, which had been considered their boat's Achilles heel. At one point up the first beat they appeared to be close to fully foiling, with their hulls lightly skimming across the surface. It was a shame a malfunctioning battery unit caused their hydraulics to shut down, for you got the sense we were about to see something quite special. Likewise in race one, the Kiwi boat was looking extremely quick before the damage incurred to their fairing slowed their progress around the course. If Team NZ can overcome the mishaps of the past two days it is likely we may see a new speed record set for the regatta during the Louis Vuitton finals.
3. Oracle look fast, too
The Cup defenders have also been out on the race course flexing their muscle this week, putting on a show with some in-house racing prior to the finals races getting underway. They too suffered a minor glitch yesterday, with their rudder on Boat 1, helmed by Ben Ainslie, snapping in yesterday's pre-start. But it is Boat 2 we should really be concerned with and the noise coming off the spectator boats is USA-17 is a very slick package indeed.
Though they are not obligated to, Oracle opted to disclose their performance data from this week's practice races during the official defender access period to the race course, but intriguingly, only from the first of the two races. Once the live broadcast shuts down, the two boats then line up for another race and it seems this is when the real action begins.
Yesterday, Oracle were captured on video foiling upwind for a long stretch, their hulls airborne, in what could be a significant breakthrough for the team.

Renaissance Wax is the best. However, since it is expensive, I'd use it on guns that aren't going to be shot. I'd take Rig Gun grease for a working gun.

You have to be careful with paste wax - make sure it has no abrasives in it and that it is PH neutral. Renaissance Wax is a gentle wax.
I started using Meguiar's Gold Class Carnauba Plus Paste Wax for the exterior of the Glock slide. I called Meguiar's and spoke to a customer service rep he verified that it is PH neutral and has no abrasives in it. Meguiar's Gold Class Carnauba Plus Paste Wax is also fairly oily.
I waxed the slide on my G34 and I like it. It is easier to cycle the slide than if it had a light coat of oil on it. And it's more protected than if the slide were wiped completely dry and my slide has a fairly hydrophobic coating on top of the gun's finish.
If I'm not going shooting for a while, I'll put another coat of wax on it.
Here's a picture of my Glock 17L with a few coats of Meguiar's Gold Class on it.
It's obvioulsy not going to shine like a gun with a deep blue finish. but here it is anyway:

Cutters play well, but lose again
July 11, 2012 - Mitch Rupert
By MITCH RUPERT
Andy Tracy sat behind his desk looking down at the scorecard he keeps for every game. He pursed his lips together and shrugged his shoulders.
"I know we lost," the first-year manager of the Williamsport Crosscutters said. "But I thought we played a pretty good game."
It'd be hard to argue, even after the Cutters lost for the 11th time in their last 15 games, this time 4-2 to Tri-City. Williamsport got a well-pitched game from starter Jordan Guth and relievers Andre Kinder and Jeb Stefan. The offense even had eight hits.
The problem was twice in the first four innings the Cutters left runners stranded on second and third, and only once did the offense manage to piece together more than one hit in an inning. On a night where the New York-Penn League's third-worst offense put together one of its better-pitched games, the league's second-best offense scored just two runs.
"It seems like that's what happens with us," Cutters catcher Logan Moore said. "When the pitchers do well, we don't come out swinging it as well as we need to. It's tough to win a game when you only score two. The pitchers did all we could ask them to."
Chris Serritella continued his torrid hitting pace, going 2 for 4 with a double. It was his seventh consecutive game with an extra-base hit, and the college All-American is hitting .422 over his last 11 games. Larry Greene Jr. had two more hits to raise his average to .304, and Roman Quinn was 3 for 5.
But the Cutters, as a team, came up empty when needed most Wednesday night in the start of a six-game homestand. They were 1 for 12 with runners in scoring position and stranded eight runners in scoring position.
"That's huge, especially when we're struggling like this," said Serritella, who's hitting a team-best .330. "Someone has to step up and just put the ball in play. You just have to fight and and I think when we start doing that, things will fall our way."
Williamsport ran into a pair of pitchers ä Joe Bircher and Jeremiah Meiners ä who pitched backwards when they got themselves into jams. They'd get into hitters' counts only to start throwing good breaking balls both in and out of the strikezone, and an occasional change-up.
Serritella faced Bircher, Tri-City's starting pitcher, during college and he had an idea of how Bircher would pitch to the lefties. But even with an idea of how they were going to be pitched, the Cutters struggled to make the adjustment.
In the second inning with runners on second and third and one out, Tyler Greene struck out on a breaking ball after a great battle in an eight-pitch at-bat. Quinn followed with a strikeout on a breaking ball in an eight-pitch at-bat. With runners again on second and third with two outs in the fourth, Bircher got Brian Pointer swinging at a 3-2 breaking ball to end the game.
"That was a good case of some older pitchers throwing against some younger kids and in hitters' counts throwing some off-speed pitches," Tracy said. "A good breaking ball gets a lot of people out, even at the upper levels. There's a point where if you're 2-0 or 3-1 and you're getting breaking balls, it's tough to hit sometimes, especially at this level if they're throwing them for strikes."
"It's tough to adjust to because you can't sit on (a breaking ball) because you don't want to get beat with a fastball," Moore said. "They did their job and threw their off-speed pitches for strikes."
Guth went six innings for the first time in his professional career last night, throwing two brilliant innings to start his outing. He ran into trouble in the third, fourth and fifth innings when he started leaving a few pitches up in the zone. Ryan Dineen led off the third inning with a solo home run to left field on a 1-0 fastball up in the zone.
The ValleyCats started the fourth inning with three consecutive hits, including a double from Dan Gulbransen. Tyler Heineman singled in Gulbransen, and Jesse Wierzbicki scored on a double play ball off the bat of Jobduan Morales. Dineen doubled to lead off the fifth on another pitch up, and scored on Joe Sciafani's single to left field.
"He was pitching really well," Moore said of Guth. "He really was a couple pitches from throwing a shutout, basically. A couple balls got up and one went out of the yard. Overall he did real well."
"We, as a staff, hope other pitchers watch the pitchers that work off their fastball like Jordan did and see how that dictates the game," Tracy said. "Next thing you know you're in the fifth or sixth inning as a starter because you're working off your fastball."

Mayfair Garden
Mayfair Garden was developed on 3 empty lots across the street from Mayfair Elementary School in East Cleveland, a struggling 1st tier suburb of Cleveland, Ohio, to primarily benefit the neighborhood children by teaching them how their food grows, introducing them to new foods, and provide increased fresh produce for them. Senior citizens and volunteers from the neighborhood, university, and private schools also work in the garden. We have been fortunate to have support from the OSU Extension, from local businesses, and from Neighborhood Connections, allowing us to grow grapes, strawberries, blueberries, red and black raspberries, various herbs, figs, asparagus, annual vegetables, many flowers, and to plant a variety of fruit trees. We plan to expand our area for annual vegetables this year, but that requires the creation of raised beds since our area for expansion was a parking lot.
The children have been expecially excited about the strawberries and blueberries. Since East Cleveland is a food desert, fresh fruits and vegetables are not reliably in their diets. In addition, many of our children qualify to have backpacks full of food sent home from school in order to assure that they have something to eat on the weekends when the free breakfasts, lunches, and snacks at school are not available. Having wonderful, fresh food is a huge advantage.
Science education is a weakness in our school system, so our children benefit from learning the biology related to growing food.
Fitness levels also improve with supervised outdoor activity.
About us:
KGI is a nonprofit community of over 30,000 people who are growing some of our own food and helping others to do the same.

(Good Saturday. Thanks for your support of Daily Thunder. It's appreciated.)
Short, but sweet. It's the 1994 NBA Finals with the Houston Rockets taking on the New York Knicks. As you should know, current Thunder head coach Scott Brooks was a part of that championship Rocket squad. And after a big call doesn't go Houston's way, Rudy Tomjanovich begins to accost young Scotty Brooks. I don't know why I found this so funny, but the look on Brooks' face makes me chuckle every time.

Pattern Organization by Nanfanc4153
Make a copy of the front and back of each pattern. Back to back if possible. Make a notebook with tabs for dresses, jackets, pants, etc. Store the copies in numerical order and store the patterns in boxes in numerical order. Eventually you won't have to buy patterns because yours are organized. Always make a copy of every new pattern that you purchase and insert it in your notebook and the pattern stored in numerical order. I now have four notebooks with pictures of my patterns and many boxes of patterns. Easy to find....in numerical order.

I have reams of patterns for sewing, crocheting, knitting, rug hooking and more. So, I have binders that are labeled for each item such as: doilies, curtains, doll clothes, sewing patterns, afghan patterns, and so on. then these binders are stacked on a shelf in my basement craft area. as to my yarn - I pursuaded our bulk barn store to part with some of their empty bins, once cleaned these are perfect for storing yarn and cottons. just label the outside as to the type and you are ready to pick and choose with out errors.

on March 12, 2013 - 2:12 AM
Tipsy bar patrons during this St. Patrick's Day weekend will have an option of a free cab ride home from participating establishments, thanks to an initiative announced Monday by the Erie County Sheriff's Office, Liberty Cab and many clubs in the downtown entertainment district.
The initiative runs from 9 p.m. Friday through noon Monday. During that time, if patrons believe they are too intoxicated to drive, they are encouraged to ask the bartender for a yellow voucher. That is the ticket for a free cab ride home within a 25-mile radius – an estimated $75 value – according to William G. Yuhnke, president of Liberty Cab.
"If you're in Erie County, we're going to get you home," Yuhnke said. "Last year, we were actually more busy on St. Patrick's Day than on New Year's Eve."
Patrons may either call for a cab at 877-7111 or use Taxi Magic, a smartphone app that offers on-demand cab service without talking to an operator.
"With drunken drivers, you have to get there fast so they do not get into the vehicle," Yuhnke said. "If you don't, they may have second thoughts and wind up behind the wheel."
This is not the first time Liberty Cab has offered free rides for drivers who have had too much to drink. In "Safe Ride Home," the cab company teamed up with the Buffalo Bills last season to transport inebriated football fans home from games at Ralph Wilson Stadium in Orchard Park. Up to 15 cabs are routinely stationed at the north end of the stadium, according to Sheriff Timothy B. Howard, who approached Liberty Cab weeks ago to pitch the St. Patrick's Day weekend campaign against drunken driving.
The holiday weekend includes two parades:
• "The Old Neighborhood" St. Patrick's Day Parade retraces the original 1913 parade route through the historic streets of the Valley and Old First Ward neighborhoods. Starting at noon Saturday, it runs along South Park Avenue; Smith, Elk and Hamburg streets; and O'Connell Avenue.
• The Delaware Avenue St. Patrick's Day Parade kicks off at 2 p.m. Sunday from Niagara Square, ending at North Street. Last year, it attracted 125,000 people, according to Howard.
Sgt. Daniel S. Dytchkowskyj, who commands the sheriff's Traffic Bureau, believes that the initiatives to deter drunken driving have been working.
"It seems we're seeing less arrests on the big drinking holidays," he said.
"Last year, deputies logged one arrest during St. Patrick's Day weekend – from 9 p.m. March 16 to noon March 19. I think people are realizing that police are intensifying their patrols during that time.
"It's important for us to continue the patrols. We can't let up."
Howard said that "it costs between $8,000 to $10,000 for a DWI," referring to legal fees and fines. "That is a steep price to pay, but there is an even steeper price to pay should you maim or hurt someone while driving drunk."
To date, the following downtown bars are participating in the weekend campaign: Laughlin's, Sky Bar, D'Arcy McGee's Irish Pub, City Tavern, Bada Bing Bar & Grill, Buckin' Buffalo Saloon, Indulge Bar & Night Club, Noir Ultra Lounge, 67 West, Bottoms Up and Soho Burger Bar.

Colorado's 'Governor Gloom' Warns That America Is Doomed Unless We Swallow Some Bitter Medicine—and He's Got Some Radical Prescriptions
"It's hard for me to see where we get to the middle of the 1990s without some economic and social trauma on a large scale, unless we adjust our ways," he warns.
In Lamm's woeful vision, banks will fail as "never-to-be-developed" countries default on their loans; obsolete U.S. factories will lie idle as Asians laboring for coolie wages outproduce American workers; hordes of illegal immigrants will take jobs from American blacks and Hispanics, who will riot and burn the cities; the nation will groan under the burden of millions of elderly pensioners bankrupting the health-care system with their endless demand for hip joints and hearts; finally, the deficit will reduce America to "a nation in liquidation."
"The real wild card over all this is nuclear warfare," says Lamm, whose pessimistic pronouncements have earned him the nickname Governor Gloom. "By the way," he adds, gesturing toward a majestic peak looming over the hotel, "that is Cheyenne Mountain. That's where NORAD [North American Aerospace Defense Command] is headquartered. If the next war begins and the big balloon goes up, you probably want to be sitting right here, having a martini, because that's going to be the No. 1 target." Lamm is suing the Air Force to stop deployment of the MX missiles just across Colorado's borders in Nebraska and Wyoming, but he is not terribly hopeful about the prospects for disarmament. "The idea that we have only a 1 percent chance every year of a nuclear war happening," he laments, "I mean, that's certainty. But people say, well, the world's going to turn to Jesus. Bull."
In fact Lamm does not sound terribly hopeful about anything.
"All modern-day curves—population, resource consumption, inflation, weapons—lead to disaster," he says. "Our nation is a Titanic speeding through iceberg-filled waters."
If we take that big gash below the waterline, as Lamm anticipates, there probably won't be room on the lifeboats for everyone. It is easy to imagine Governor Gloom swinging an oar at the drowning people who threaten to swamp us by climbing aboard and picking through the survivors for anyone too old or sick to row, all the while muttering, "I told you so."
"Like an Old Testament prophet, I'm saying if we do not reform our ways, you can't continue to run these kinds of excesses and not have something happen to you," says Lamm, his reedy voice rising with urgency until he sounds like someone who just inhaled helium. "God is not an American. Nature did not design Americans to be prosperous forever." Lamm toys thoughtfully with his hotel key. "I do believe these things are not inevitable," he adds, extending a dim hope. "I've been reading the story of Jonah in the Old Testament. The king did listen to Jonah; they did reform their ways; and God thus never came down and destroyed Nineveh."
If Lamm isn't listened to, it won't be for his lack of trying. In the past four months, he's had three books published: Megatraumas: America at the Year 2000 (Houghton Mifflin, $16.95); The Immigration Time Bomb: The Fragmenting of America (Dutton, $18.50), co-authored by environmentalist Gary Imhoff; and, for light reading, 1988 (St. Martin's, $15.95), co-authored by his former media advisor, Arnold Grossman, a gripping, if implausible, political novel about the ease with which a presidential election could be fixed.
Lamm's writing ability is more than equaled by his talent for getting written about. He has such a head for headlines that words sometimes seem to tumble from his mouth in 36-point type. Decrying what he deemed excessive spending for special education, he has said that $20,000 a year ought not to be spent "educating a child to roll over." He has repeatedly warned that illegal immigration from Mexico threatens to turn the Southwest into "a Hispanic Quebec." Most famous, or infamous, of all was his statement on the ethical and economic implications of high-tech medicine, such as the artificial heart: "We've got a duty to die and get out of the way with all of our machines and artificial hearts and everything else like that and let the other society—our kids—build a reasonable life." The remark was a tabloid editor's dream: "Aged are told to drop dead," blared New York's Daily News.
Lamm, 50, subsequently took pains to explain that he had not been talking about the elderly but about terminally ill individuals who are being tortured by treatment that is only prolonging their dying. In such a situation himself, says Lamm, he would consider suicide.
After the "duty to die" uproar subsided, Lamm declared that "there are two types of AIDS patients. Either you're dying or you're dead. If there's no chance of any [successful] outcome, then you can't order up every possible service." He approves of treatment that will "relieve pain, add quality of life or be of medical benefit," but he believes that it might be better to spend money on research into a cure rather than on "needlessly cruel and expensive treatment." Lamm's habitual juxtaposition of the words "cruel" and "expensive" has raised the suspicion that there beats in his own breast an artificial heart that works very much like a calculator. He denies it, insisting that he is as compassionate as anyone.
"I'm all for high-tech experimentation if it's cost-effective," declares Lamm, a qualified accountant and lawyer. He acknowledges that his own wife, Dottie, 48, who had a mastectomy in 1981, owes her life to cancer therapies that were once experimental. "The bottom line is, until we're helping people to stop smoking, screening for breast cancer, giving Pap smears, giving prenatal care to pregnant women, we should not go into publicly paying for the artificial heart, which will benefit at great cost only a few people." He frequently points out that $100,000 spent for an operation on a terminally ill person could provide 8,000 children with dental care. "It may sound cruel," he explains, "but my way is much better for the health of the American people than any other scenario."
It often seems as though Lamm deliberately overstates his case to capture an audience, so that he can then explain what he really thinks. He is fond of saying, for instance, that Veterans' Administration hospitals should treat Gls "who caught a bullet, but not veterans who fell off a bar stool." The words are provocative, but Lamm says he is out to make a serious point.
"If I were to say that we should not pay for 'nonservice-connected disabilities,' it's a big yawn," he explains. "Sometimes you need dramatic language. There are better examples: The idea that a child can't even roll over, and we're spending $20,000 a year trying to educate it. I'm all for educating retarded kids, but the fact is there are certain kids—as I said on 60 Minutes, 'God made some mistakes.' That probably is an unartful way to say it, but the fact is I'm a creative speaker." And an attention-grabbing one. "Being controversial has really been good for me," he admits. "I would not be Governor if I wasn't controversial."
Good fortune has also played a role. He was born in Wisconsin, where his father was a prosperous coal company executive, and first came to Colorado as an Army lieutenant in 1957. Liking what he'd seen, he moved to the state in 1961. As a freshman state representative in 1967, he authored what was then the nation's most liberal abortion law. Unlike some politicians, he has not revised his views since. "I find it unthinkable that society, in a time of overpopulation, should force unwilling women to have unwanted children," he says. In 1972 he led the coalition of environmentalists that defeated real estate and tourism interests to keep the 1976 Winter Olympics out of Colorado. That success was his first step on the road to the governor's mansion in the 1974 election—a road that culminated with a campaign walk of 888 miles throughout the state.
The Democratic underdog won, thanks in part to the anti-Republican backlash from Watergate, but Lamm found himself confronting a GOP-con-trolled legislature. "He can walk the state, but he can't run it," said his foes. Lamm has achieved a few goals—notably tax relief for the poor, financed by higher corporate taxes—but his 11 years as governor have been marked by the frustration of working with a Republican legislature. "He might as well file his budget proposals in a dumpster," observes state Democratic Party chairman Buie Seawell.
The environmentalist governor has failed to stop sprawling urban development from Denver to Colorado Springs. He has been unable to cut the density of Denver's air pollution. As a result, some observers say, Lamm has lost interest in the day-to-day job of governing. "He has looked around and seen his losses," says Associated Press statehouse correspondent Carl Hilliard, "so he's turned to the more cosmic things he can't possibly lose on."
"There's some truth to that," Lamm concedes. "I've had some major disappointments. The quality of life in Denver is worse than when I took over, and I'm embarrassed about that. But I still put in 40 hours a week running Colorado."
By constitutional design, Colorado's governorship is about as weak an institution as could be invented—most power is reserved to the legislature. But in Lamm's weakness lies his strength: He has the freedom to speak without the responsibility to act, and he knows it. "It is nice for me to be courageous about programs that I don't vote on," Lamm says frankly. "If I were running for federal office, I would have a much more direct accountability to some special interest groups."
Will he run for federal office? The Democratic Party has to take notice of a governor in a Western state who's won election three times. Voters appreciate Lamm's candor even when they disagree with his views.
Lamm has announced that he will not run for governor in 1986: "I think that 12 years in any one job is enough." But he disavows any ambition for higher office. "If I wanted to be President of the United States, I'd run for the Senate in 1986," he maintains. "And I'm just not going to do it."
Lamm says he would like to devote his time to practicing law, teaching and appearing on television. He already does a weekly segment called "Hard Choices" on Denver's KUSA-TV news and teaches a "Hard Choices" course at the U of Colorado at Denver.
"I am absolutely disgusted when I think about running another campaign," he says. "I don't want to go back into that process where you have to go around to all the special interests and adjust your views. Very few Old Testament prophets also become kings. The best contribution I can make is saying 'This is how I see it,' and not pulling any punches, and that means not running for office."
Lamm says his main reason for leaving politics is his devotion to wife Dottie and their children, Heather, 15, and Scott, 18. "It's Dottie's operation. It's moving the kids. I don't want to put my family through a campaign at this time." At this time. Those who know Lamm well doubt that he's ready to exit the public arena for good, and he himself leaves the door distinctly ajar: "Now in 1992, in 1996, Lord knows."
Lamm's family clearly wouldn't mind his becoming a private citizen. Heather and Scott have not campaigned for their father since his first gubernatorial race, when they were 3 and 6 respectively. They try to avoid the attention of the media—not always successfully, as when Scott made news a few years back by shooting out the neighbors' windows with a BB gun.
Dottie, a former flight attendant who earned a degree in social work, which she practiced until Heather was born, is a controversial figure in her own right. She's been a columnist for the Denver Post since 1979, propounding liberal, feminist views. Last year she attacked "the audacity and ignorance of the Right-to-Lifers." She does not concern herself with her column's impact on her husband's career. "I figure, my Lord, with the kinds of things he's saying out there, there's not too much attention I'm going to get."
Dottie is an important source of support for her husband—if a somewhat ambivalent one. After Dick's first gubernatorial campaign, she wrote in her journal (parts of which she subsequently published), "I am continually torn between the desire to protect him from the tedious and the tiresome, and the desire to have him struggle with some of the mundane. Those who become involved with only 'great' issues gradually become inhuman."
That's the healthy skepticism of a wife for her husband. Yet it also holds a warning for those who might accept Lamm's prescriptions without question. Hard choices are not made by the numbers.

It is possible to mock up a twinax connection, I have a number of
clients who run the TDLC connection over CAT5 and a couple who use
bell wire (latter not recommended)
It will be easier for you to just focus on the point after the Twinax
T-Piece not trying to connect to the DB15/25 plugs, as these plugs
also carry controls for the two twinax lines and end of line
So, if I were you I would pursue one of the following 3 options:
1) Search eBay for a pair of Twinax to CAT5 Balans, these convert the
Twinax connection to normal CAT5 patch cables and back.
2) Find a spare piece of Twinax cable and Hack then ends of and then
solder these to the cable you wish to run.
3) Look on eBay for a network card for your 9402 (assuming it has a
spare SPD slot) and connect to it via Ethernet or Token Ring.
If you are ever in the UK and want to collect them, I have spares of
all 3 of these options that you are well come to free of charge, in
fact I would be happy to give a way some of my older AS/400's Model
600, Model 150, Model P03.
If you are interested, send me an email, if not, no problem and good
luck with the cabling!
