|Kerry Fraser on D&C: 'Nobody came to the aid of Daniel Sedin'
|06.15.11 at 11:04 am ET
Former NHL referee Kerry Fraser joined the Dennis & Callahan show Wednesday morning to offer his thoughts from a referee's viewpoint on the Stanley Cup finals. To hear the interview, go to the Dennis & Callahan audio on demand page.
'This is not a typical series, certainly not a typical Stanley Cup final," Fraser said. "We've seen such crazy, bizarre things go on, and the officials have certainly been under a lot of scrutiny. There has been some inconsistencies for sure, from my perspective. They need to make sure they are well prepared and call that first penalty that happens, otherwise they're going to be batting uphill all night.'
Fraser was asked about Game 7s and if the referees don't call as many penalties as in other games.
'It's got to be imagined," he said of that perception. "The players will dictate what the officials do and how they respond. That being said, the officials have to respond appropriately. I found in most Game 7s, the players just want to play. All the stuff that happened in the previous six games is over, it's forgotten, now it's do or die. … This is the kind of game where one call, one penalty can make a huge difference in the outcome of the game."
When asked about the Johnny Boychuk hit that knocked out Mason Raymond for the rest of the series, Fraser said he didn't feel like it was deserving of a suspension. "The Vancouver fans are furious," Fraser said. "That was a normal, acceptable kind of play. Twenty seconds in, Johnny fork-hooked the legs of Raymond. It should have been a two-minute hooking or interference penalty. That was it. Once he turned him and their momentum carried him into the boards, it was an awkward position, that's all it was. There was no suspension deserved."
|Brad Marchand is a rat's rat
|06.14.11 at 7:50 am ET
If the Canucks were hoping that Brad Marchand would wilt as a rookie under the pressure of his first playoff experience, they obviously did not judge or scout him nearly close enough.
And there's no reason to think Marchand is about to crumble under the pressure of the first Stanley Cup finals Game 7 in Bruins history.
"We have to make sure that we have a good start. And they just seem to get so much momentum and energy off their crowd and we just have to find a way to counter that and come out strong," said Marchand sounding every bit the veteran of 24 playoff games.
When he scored in the Game 3 blowout of the Canucks, he referred to the fact that he is considered the modern-day "rat" of the Bruins, a nickname lovingly bestowed on Ken Linseman for being the bur in the side of every opponent. It's a nickname that he continues to wear with pride as he proved again to the Canucks on Monday.
When he wheeled in and took a puck off the boards from Mark Recchi he showed no hesitation snapping off a wrister that beat Roberto Luongo over the goalie's left shoulder just 5:31 into Game 6.
"I was there, it was a good shot but I have to make that save," Luongo said. "He put it where he wanted but I have to make a save there."
"We weren't too worried about that in here," Marchand said of Luongo's talk after Game 5. "He can say what he wants to say. We were just trying to focus on playing this game so we got a couple early, and you know, obviously they switched the goaltenders up. Obviously he's bounced back every game and I expect the same thing back in Vancouver." Read the rest of this entry »
|Game 6 countdown, 6 p.m.: Inside the numbers
|06.13.11 at 6:00 pm ET
With Game 6 fast approaching here are a few notable statistics regarding the series and Stanley Cup finals history that could play a role in Monday night's game:
– The team that has scored first has won each of the first five games of the series.
– The last time the home team won every game of the Stanley Cup finals was in 2003 when the Devils beat the Ducks in seven games.
– The Bruins are 7-0 in the playoffs when Brad Marchand scores.
– Since 1989, six Stanley Cup finals series have been won in six games. All of the clinching games have been won on the road.
– The last four times a team won the Stanley Cup in Game 6, all games were decided by one goal, with three games going into overtime.
– Only two teams since 1939 have won Games 6 and 7, with Game 7 being on the road in the Stanley Cup finals. They are the Canadians in 1971 and the Penguins in 2009.
|Bruins know they can't get carried away with going for shorthanded goals
|06.08.11 at 1:17 pm ET
The Bruins have done a great job shutting down Vancouver's power play this series, as they've held the league's best man advantage to a 1-for-16 showing. Not only did they keep the Canucks scoreless on their eight power plays in Game 3, but the Bruins netted a pair of shorthanded goals — one from Brad Marchand and one from Daniel Paille.
On Wednesday, Paille said it's important for the Bruins penalty killers to not get caught up in trying to score while shorthanded. He said they can't force plays that could result in them being caught out of position.
"I don't think that was the plan," Paille said of being aggressive and getting shorthanded goals. "I think it obviously turned out that way, and we just kind of went with it. Fortunately it helped us in the end. It has cost us in the past, so we don't want to do that too much."
Marchand, who tied for third in the NHL with five shorthanded goals during the regular season, agreed with Paille and said the key for him is to just take advantage of opportunities when they present themselves.
"I just think a lot of it's luck, a lot of lucky bounces," Marchand said. "You get opportunities if the pucks hops over sticks and you get breakaways and stuff like that. If you saw a lot of the goals I scored shorthanded, they're very fluky, pucks popping up behind the net in open cages. So a lot of it's just lucky bounces."
As far as Paille goes, Claude Julien said he'd be happy if him and linemate Gregory Campbell just keep doing what they've been doing. The duo has made a formidable penalty-kill unit all season for the Bruins.
"We've liked them there since the start of they year. They've been great penalty killers," Julien said. "When Dan is skating, he does a really good job pressuring the D and makes it hard for them to break out cleanly. Certainly his speed is great. Turnovers and scoring opportunities as well.
"Gregory has been a great penalty killer because he's willing to block shots. You get a second and third effort from him all the time. Those guys have been really good for us. Whenever they didn't get an opportunity to play much as a fourth line, you could certainly rely on them heavily to help you out through the penalty kill."
|Brad Marchand said the Bruins were 'really looking to send a message'
|06.07.11 at 12:50 am ET
In one of the more physical, tense and nasty Stanley Cup final games in recent memory, the Bruins hammered the Canucks, 8-1, Monday night in Game 3 and now trail Vancouver, 2 games-to-1.
The physical play began with a shot to the head of Nathan Horton by Aaron Rome just over five minutes into the contest. Horton left on a stretcher after his neck was immobilized. He reported having feeling in all extremities and was taken to Massachusetts General for observation. The nastiness reached a new level in the third when Shawn Thornton was ejected via a 10-minute misconduct while three more Bruins followed. Rome was ejected along with three other Canucks in the third, as the Bruins poured it on with four goals in the second and four in the third.
"We had a good game but we were really looking to send a message and we wanted to get back in the series," Brad Marchand said. "They had a pretty commanding lead there. We knew it was going to be a big game tonight and we were just hoping to get back in the series.
"Any playoff series it's a battle out there. We're fighting for something we wanted our whole lives. It's going to be a battle every game. It's going to look like that. I think it's just going to get chippier as series goes on."
|Green Men on D&C: 'We're two grown idiots in spandex'
|06.06.11 at 9:15 am ET
Vancouver's Green Men, Force and Sully, stopped by the WEEI studio for a visit with Dennis & Callahan Monday morning while in Boston for Games 3 and 4 of the Stanley Cup finals. To hear the interview, go to the Dennis & Callahan audio on demand page.
The two Canucks fans clad in spandex bodysuits made a name for themselves by annoying opposing players in the penalty box at Rogers Arena, but the NHL restricted their behavior after they became cult favorites.
"The NHL directly told us: 'No more handstands, you can't touch the glass.' We were told we were not allowed to agitate the players," Sully explained. "So, we just have to step up our game and be more creative. It seems to be working. We're getting under a few people's skin."
Diminutive Bruins forward Brad Marchand engaged in a feud with the pair last week. "Marchand gave us a couple of chirps, I got doused with some water," Sully explained. "You get that when you ask if he's sitting on phone books."
Bruins defenseman Dennis Seidenberg, on the other hand, enjoyed the Green Men's tribute to Bruins legend Cam Neely's acting career. "We had the Cam Neely 'Sea Bass' from 'Dumb and Dumber' reference ' the trucker caps," Force explained. "Seidenberg appreciated that. He said he'd pass that along to Cam Neely."
Added Force: "I think Cam Neely upstairs is either laughing or wanting to fight us. I'm not sure."
The Bruins have a tall task ahead of them as they look to overcome an 0-2 hole and turn the Stanley Cup finals into an actual series. Both games have been determined by just one goal thus far, and though the Bruins have played poorly from the most part, the first two games have shown the B's can hang with the Canucks, even if they haven't totally shown up yet. With the number three in mind, here's a preview of Monday's Game 3.
– Get better looks vs. Roberto Luongo and establish a net-front presence. We'll say it until it changes, and it didn't change enough in Game 2. The Canucks have been able to box the Bruins out so far in the series, but look at how the B's scored their goals in Game 2. Milan Lucic buried a rebound from in front, and Mark Recchi redirected a shot in front of Luongo. When the Bruins were able to set up shop and do things from close range, the puck went in. It seems trying it any other way is an exercise in futility.
– Keep moving Zdeno Chara around on the power play. Recchi's goal came as a result of Claude Julien moving Chara back to the point, but Julien should keep mixing it up when it comes to the Bruins' mammoth captain. He still appeared to be a nuisance in front of Luongo in Game 1, so Julien should have enough confidence in Chara's abilities in both areas to play him in different spots from power play to power play.
– Use the home crowd to their advantage. Whether or not they want to admit it, Rogers Arena was absolutely electric and had to have been a tough place to play. If the Garden can turn down the music and let the fans create an authentic atmosphere, maybe the Canucks can truly feel like they're at an opponent's home and not a wrestling match.
– Both the Bruins and Canucks have seen four of their last five games be determined by one goal. The Bruins are 2-3 in that span, while the Canucks are 4-1.
– The four goals Tim Thomas has allowed over the last three games ties this stretch with his best of the postseason. Thomas let in four goals over Games 2 through 4 of the conference semifinals vs. the Flyers, though the difference is that the Bruins won all three of those games and have lost two of the three games in this stretch.
– Brad Marchand has gone four games without scoring. In the other two instances this postseason in which he went four straight without a goal, he scored the following game.
– Tim Thomas: He plays aggressive ' the sky is falling! As bad as the game-wining goal he allowed in overtime Saturday looked, the reaction by some suggest nobody has actually watched Thomas before. He's all over the place, and he plays farther out of his net than most. It will be interesting to see how be performs in Game 3 given all the heat he's been under for his style this series.
– Alexandre Burrows: The Bruins have every reason to be furious that Burrows wasn't suspended for Game 2, though they're not showing it. At any rate, their No. 1 concern should be finding away to stop the guy who showed Saturday that his offensive ability (2 G, A in Game 2) is just as sharp as his teeth.
– Rich Peverley: Where to play the speedy winger? Peverley has seen time on the second line, third line and fourth line (and the first if you want to count him taking one of Nathan Horton's shifts in Game 7 of the conference finals when Horton was banged up) in recent games. Peverley could continue to take some of Mark Recchi's shifts on the second line, or he could skate with Chris Kelly and Michael Ryder, as he did from late in the second period Saturday to the end of the contest. If and when Julien makes a move to get Shawn Thornton in the lineup at the expense of Tyler Seguin this series, the line of Kelly centering Peverley and Ryder would make sense.
Also, don't rule out Peverley having a target on his back in Game 3. His two-handed slash to the back of Kevin Bieksa's knee didn't go over well with Bieksa, his teammates or his coaches. Given the nature of the play, it shouldn't have. Peverley really got away with one, and had he scored on his shot that followed the non-penalized slash, it would have looked even worse.

Raeesa Gupte, a Pharmacology graduate student in the laboratory of Dr. D.P. Mohapatra was awarded for her poster presentation at the 47th Annual Winter Conference on Brain Research, Jan 25 to 30, at Steamboat Springs, CO. The title of her poster was "Neuropeptide PACAP-induced modifications in Kv2.1 channel provides neuroprotection against cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury". Intrinsic mechanisms that operate within mammalian brain, in order to provide neuroprotection against cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury are not well understood. Raeesa's research focuses on identifying the cascade of cellular events originating from the endogenous neuropeptide PACAP that influence the localization and function of the major neuronal potassium channel Kv2.1 during reperfusion following cerebral ischemic stroke. These distinct modifications in Kv2.1 channel ultimately result in switching on the intrinsic neuroprotective key in neurons. Results from this research has a high likelihood of identifying function-based pharmacotherapeutics targets for stroke/reperfusion injury, as well as for a number of related neuropathological conditions.

Jamaica is home to may of the world's best sprinters. Kenyans run faster marathons. The Chinese team won all four gold medals in synchronized diving. Watching the 2008 Olympics you can not help but notice that athletes from certain corners of the world tend to dominate certain events.
What about child growth and development? Do children in certain parts of the world naturally grow faster during early childhood? The answer seems to be "no." Given access to the same good feeding practices, quality medical care, and other environmental conditions, children all over the world grow and develop at about the same rate from birth to age 5.
What does healthy growth look like between birth and 5 years of age? In 2006, the World Health Organization (WHO) released a brand new growth reference curve that illustrates how a normal healthy child should grow from birth to age 5, and another that illustrates the normal window periods for five key motor development milestones.
The new reference is based on findings from a study carried out between 1997 and 2003 that followed the growth and motor development milestones of more than 8500 children from 5 different countries and continents (Brazil, Ghana, India, Norway, Oman and the USA).
In each country they only included first-born, full-term infants of non-smoking mothers. Mothers in the study agreed to follow WHO recommendation to exclusively breastfeed the infants until age 6 months and to continue breastfeeding until age 2 years. They did not select families with poor economic status, history of health problems or other environmental constraints that might affect the child's growth.
So wherever you live, providing nutritious foods and a healthy environment for your children promotes normal development and enables each child to reach her natural potential. Who knows? She might even make an Olympic appearance one day!

I Am Empowered - I am the National Urban League
Occupy the Vote
New voter ID laws are voter suppression by another name. The U.S. Department of Justice has deemed that in South Carolina and Texas, where voting rights are under attack, minority citizens who are already registered lack the IDs required by the new laws and are far more likely to be disenfranchised.
Join us and "Occupy the Vote" TODAY, sign our petition asking to state governors to repeal these new laws and veto any bills that pass the legislature.
If we don't defend the vote, we don't have a voice.
Voter ID laws have grown at an epidemic rate and they have a disproportionately negative impact on minority citizens. It is time to stand up for justice by opposing these egregious laws.
Kansas and Alabama require eligible voters to provide proof of citizenship before registering. Florida, Georgia, Ohio, Tennessee and West Virginia have cut short early voting periods. Florida and Iowa prevented all ex-offenders from the polls, disenfranchising thousands of previously eligible voters. Alabama, Kansas, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Wisconsin and Mississippi and Idaho all require voters to produce a government-issued ID before casting ballots.
Requiring IDs to vote is not as innocent as it sounds. A 2006 survey found that 7% of citizens do not have ready access to documents to prove citizenship and 11% of citizens do not have government-issued photo identification. Black citizens disproportionately lack photo identification – 25% black voting age citizens do not have a current government issued photo ID, compared to 8% of white voting age citizens. Voter ID laws are voter suppression by another name.
U.S. Department of Justice for the first time since 1994 exercised its powers under the Voting Rights Act to block a voter identification law – in taking this action against South Carolina, DOJ stated that allowing the new voter ID laws would cause "significant racial disparities." DOJ noted that in South Carolina, using South Carolina's own analysis, 81,938 minority citizens who are already registered lack the IDs required by the new laws and these voters are nearly 20% more likely be effectively disenfranchised.
In Texas,Hispanic voters are 120 percent more likely to lack such identification than were non-Hispanics.

Urban League of Hudson County gets $25,000 from the Comcast Foundation
The Urban League of Hudson County (Jersey City, NJ), Inc. has been awarded a $25,000 grant from the Comcast Foundation to support a program that develops the technology capabilities of young people and trains them to help others become more technologically-literate.
The grant is one of eight grants totaling $170,000 the Comcast Foundation awarded to eight New Jersey nonprofits to support programs focused on community service, digital literacy and empowering tomorrow's leaders.
The grant to the Urban League of Hudson County will help fund the group's "Digital Connectors" program, which trains young people, ages 14 to 18, how to take a computer apart, put it back together again, and introduce others in the community to broad-band technology.
"We are certainly appreciative of this grant because it introduces young people to different opportunities in the field of technology and it will assist them in whatever career path they chose," Urban League of Hudson County CEO Elnora Watson said.

Backup job is boring things. Especially backup a website. It's boring things everyday to backup your site or blogs, boring but very important task. Somehow you forget to backups, you'll got the risk. Bad things is loose your important data. Therefore it is very advisable to backup data regularly. Daily, weekly, monthly, depends on your needs. Backup data? is a process of copying data and save them in other media that is separate from the original media. Well,? there are several ways to backup.
1. manually, all the backups. Both file and database. Backup files via ftp & phpmyadmin.
2. semi-manual way. + Backup database files in the folder / wp-contents /? themes, plugins, and uploads.
3. Automatic way, the backup from within WP it self. There are plugins for this job (which is WP-database backup folder and wp-contents /

The ship itself seemed just a little worn out in appearance. It's hard to really define why, but I didn't like the layout of this ship as much as the others I've cruised on. But to be be fair, other people we met on the ship loved the layout.
Overall, the food was excellent. Except for one piece of meat in the main dining room that wasn't very good, everything else was excellent:
-- LIDO (buffet): Always had a wide selection of good food and helpful staff running all over.
-- CANALETTO: Other than its odd placement in a corner of the Lido buffet, the Canaletto Italian restaurant was very good, both food and service. And it's FREE! They really should expand this area or give it its own room so they can seat more people. (No shorts allowed here here.)
-- PINNACLE: This steakhouse was excellent, everything about it. We ate there twice. There is a $20 charge per person for dinner and I think $10 for lunch, which some people may complain about. But you're getting a meal that would cost you many times more off the ship. (No jeans allowed here.)
-- VISTA (main dining room): Only ate there once, but friends from the ship ate there every day and loved it.
All of the staff on the ship were helpful and polite, especially the staff servicing the cabins, the bar staff and the dining room staff (which may be 95% of people you see).
Overall, I would recommend this cruise to others. Just keep in mind you may not see the "party" atmosphere you see on other cruise lines, which some people may not want anyway.

So you play Fantasy Football! You had your draft weeks (or months?) ago and grabbed a team full of players you liked.
Now, 4 weeks into the season, half of your team is underperforming. Well, have no fear – you're about to get the tips to start gaining some ground on your competition.
While the draft is, of course, the best way to build your team and get it into a position to win, week in and week out. However, bye weeks are a very underrated and under-discussed method of strategy.
Bye weeks started last week with a handful of teams not playing and they will continue through week 11.
For an experience and proactive Fantasy player, Bye weeks are a great time to set yourself up for a playoff run.
There are two methods I use to really make a push during bye weeks. I call these the early & often methods.
Be Early
First, get there early. It's a bye week. Check your team very early in the week – maybe Monday morning or, at the least, Tuesday morning when you can make the transactions you need.
Identify what positions you have that where your starters are out on a bye week. Look at your backups. Are they available or on bye, too? Are they healthy? Have they been performing recently?
Go onto the waiver wire and see who's out there. I recommend you sort a number of ways. Depending on the site you use the usual default is by a pre-ranking. I dislike those, usually, as it doesn't take into account recent events. I would try sorting by points scored. This will put the players who have scored the most points at the time.
Take a look at the players who've been productive – perhaps also look at how they've been productive. Are there points fairly well spread or did they spike one week and do poor the others? I prefer players who have consistency. You might strike it rich with the other but you also could come out of the week with a goose-egg at one position.
Check Often
Checking once a week (especially if you check early) is the minimal amount of work you should do. If you really want to excel during the bye week, keep checking back. The reason I suggest this is because your fantasy football brethren have to make tough decisions during bye weeks. And sometimes they don't make the greatest choices.
So, check in during the weeks. Maybe even every day. See who your competitors had to drop in order to get their own bye week fill-ins. You can come up with some good talent during the bye weeks that can help you get to the playoffs. And, as anyone who has played Fantasy Football knows, once you get into playoffs it's mostly a crap-shoot anyway. The key is getting enough good players to get there.

Brushless AZIPOD
Well, as you said, this subject deserves better... I will be moving some of the stuff here.
Intro: AZIPOD-big electric motor hanging from the hull... ish
To do a proper Azipod, you will have a problem with the choice of motor, but wait! Brushless can get wet... so this makes things easier. No need for watercooling for sure. But, just because we do not run our boats in distilled demineralized water, we need to waterproof (a bit).
The pics show you the "evolution" from foam to real thing.
Copy from springer thread:
I started out by cutting two discs to close the motor ends. Material used was... a cutout HDD disk: excellent material. Light, sandable, can be soldered.
I extended the fixings with some 4mm pipe, soldered. Added a nylon tube for the wiring, nylon square for a bit of strength.
The shape was done with some putty similar to Milliput... usually used to fix leaks in pipes
It is now hardening, will take about one hour to get to a level where I can sand it.
I'll do the nose cone later, maybe integrating the 50 mm prop in the previous pics.
Ready, sanded and primed. I will probably give it a layer of light FG, as I do not know how stable this material is...
I will make it a bit shorter and, once I come up with a base for it, fill some more around to smooth things up.
CG is right in the middle of the top part, so it will be easy to move & fix.
Stay tuned....
Now, steering could be tricky, but I tweaked a servo to rotate 180...
Basically, I cut the wires to the original pot, extended them, and soldered extra pots (4.7K) in series on the outer contacts.
The original pot needs to fixed very well in its slot, otherwise it could move and you have to reopen the servo (as I did).
It took me more to download, resample pics and upload video...
Tomorrow morning it will get a nice PCB and box.
Will look great on a springer powered by azipod...
New parts for the steering: 3" HDD drive!
These are the props I have available. I need an advise on which one to try...
They are: 45, 50 and 60mm.
Maybe modify the 60 (cut it to a different shape)? I am a complete newbie here...
This is the main idea for now... how it SHOULD look...
New progress: got it mounted to a high tech ... 40x10mm washer.
The main axis is a brass threaded tube (remember the ones used for the light bulb sockets?). Sprocket was filled with putty to allow for the new 10mm hole (vs the original 4mm).
Now I have to think fixing and waterproofing...
READY! (prototype...)
Finally got to the test prototype. I wanted to power up and check it... but I left home Tx/Rx!!!!!!! ... I got the batteries and the Seaking ESC, though...
I struggled to cut a spacer in SS tubing to allow the assembly to be tight without pressing on the acryl... again I wish I had a lathe... If this works, I'll send the drawings to a guy I know. He is used with my strange requests, like the wire drive components...
I really like your idea Cornel.. and it looks as if you are well ahead on the pre production prototype..
Looking at your last pic's, the pod / motor combination looks good.. but there are going to be a lot of forces on the pod with the motor hanging out where it is.. especially when at full throttle!..
Do you think it would be possible to move the motor central under the pod so its more 'in balance'?...
Yes, it will be moved... Just that on this prototype I struggled with the wiring channels... So i wanted to get the wires out as vertical as possible.
Anyway, center of gravity is only 5mm further back from the axis.
This will be MUCH better if I manage to get it done in resin or fiberglass (just an empty shell, easier with the wires.
The smaller motors I ordered are not on stock, so the final versions are quite far now... They should be Robbe Roxxy 2030/12. I wanted to go for 1230/20, but the torque is quite low, being a 3.2A motor... still looking (waiting for ideas)
This could be ok as shape and cable exit
This is cool. I would be a little nervous with the motor in a plastic sleeve. I don't know squat about brushless motors, but I am assuming that your motor will turn slow with lots of torque. What would be cool is if you rebuilt the aluminum casing the motor came in so that it was like real Azipod where the motor is the casing and then you bolted the motor right to a steel arm. Gotta stop thinking about other cool stuff I could attempt to build and get working on my model.
Looking good interested to see how it works in the water.
portion of the motor casing spins with the shaft.
Better wiring position, but the casing has to be free to spin.
Seems like I have small motors running around here... No no not this...month...
Too many regatta and events...
Thanks for posting all the progress CornelP.
My pleasure! Already learned a lot from you guys (and ladies).
Had no idea how that works, Umi. I'll stick to the Robbes. Once you install two, this will be enough torque...
This is the version I am going to test later on... when I get home. I am reluctant to leave the office: car is parked far, it's pouring outside, have no umbrella...
so crude is good!
after all, nasa spent millions on developing a pen to work in zero g, russia's solution, a wood shaft with a graphite core, an item known to us as the pencil, so as the old saying goes "if its stupid and it works, it isnt stupid"
don't want to hijack this thread, because it is incredibly cool, and i want to see it continue with as little deviation as possible.... but...
this is something i have been considering as an alternative for the graupner schottel drives on my Alvin since the day i got the schottel drives. I was thinking of using something like the fieago 12mm motors, but they are way too high in the RPMs.
i did find this drawing however.
if you look closely you can see that according to this drawing, the main propulsion motor is actually imbedded in the hub of the propellor.
I think that a brushless outrunner small enough (i have seen ones as small as 18mm, still too big), with the rotating can making up the hub of the prop would work for an azipod. simply glue/fasten the propellor blades to the can of the motor, mount the base of the motor to a hollow vertical rod big enough to contain the wires...

MENDON, MI – It didn't take Mendon's Brooke Howard long to put her stamp on Tuesday night's battle of unbeaten, Class D state-ranked girls basketball squads against visiting Athens.
It took the Hornets' 5-foot-10 mismatch guard a matter of 15 seconds to set the tone. Howard's steal in the back court and coast-to-coast layup got her team off and running en route to a 42-27 victory.
PHOTO GALLERY: 12 images from Mendon's win over Athens
Howard scored nine of her team's 11 points in the opening four minutes, and finished with a game-high 25 that included 15-of-16 proficiency from the free-throw line.
Howard also snared a whopping 16 rebounds, plus three steals and three assists as the Hornets (11-0), ranked No. 7 in the Associated Press' poll, handed the Indians (9-1) their first loss since a 53-37 decision against Waterford Our Lady in last year's Class D state finals.
Next up for Mendon: Thursday's visit to undefeated, Class C No. 2 Niles Brandywine (9-0), which ended the Hornets' Class C state tournament run last year in the regional finals, 46-39.
"We'll definitely be coming for some revenge, but we're going to work hard," Howard said. "We have a long practice tomorrow. We're going to just try to stick it to 'em and play our game."
Mendon, which could face Athens again in the district semifinals at Athens, stuck it to the Indians in the first half Tuesday. The Hornets led 13-5 after one quarter and 26-9 at halftime.
Athens turned up the intensity and physicality in the third quarter. The Indians held Mendon scoreless in the first 6 ½ minutes of the frame and allowed the Hornets only five points during the quarter, but still trailed by 14 entering the fourth (31-17). The closest Athens pulled within Mendon was 31-22 with 5 ½ minutes remaining.
"We've been waiting for a game like this. Really, our schedule hasn't pushed us enough, we didn't think," said Mendon coach Leasa Griffith, who could not recall the program's last 11-0 start to a season. The Hornets were 22-3 last season.
"We knew it was going to be very physical and we were glad it was here. I think it showed that we can do some things under pressure and that we are going to turn the ball over at times, but then we need to recover and get back in the game and I thought we did a pretty good job."
Each team finished with 20 turnovers. Mendon won the rebounding battle, 32-23, and outscored Athens from the free-throw line (20-8).
The Hornets shot 34.4 percent (11-of-32) compared to 22 percent (9-of-41) for the Indians.
Junior guard Grace Leighton had six points, three steals and one block for Mendon, while Hornets junior forward Alexis Russell added five points, eight rebounds and two assists. Guard Jenna Griffith had four points, four assists, four rebounds and two steals for Mendon, whose 10-player roster features eight juniors and two seniors.
Athens junior Allysha Beal had 11 points and two steals. Senior Chantel Davenport added nine points and six rebounds for the Indians, who returned five players but only one starter (senior forward/center Leia Fuller) from last year's state runner-up squad.
"They came out intense and we didn't. We talked about that – we had to play four quarters against a good team," Athens coach Calvin Quist said. "We didn't play it in the first half. Give them credit, they're a good ball club.
"One of the keys is stopping Howard, and when one of my best athletes gets three fouls like that (in game's first four minutes), that just took us right out of our game. That really hurt."
Quist was referring to Athens junior forward Audrey Oswalt, who was one of three Indians to foul out.
Of course, Howard had a lot to do with that.
"We like to send her down low and post her up if they're going to guard her with someone small. She's grown quite a bit in height, so that brings a whole other aspect to her game," Leasa Griffith said about the three-sport standout, who helped lead the Hornets volleyball team to the Class D state semifinals in November.
Howard does not play AAU basketball, and said she is not hearing from any colleges in particular about playing sports at the next level, but acknowledged basketball would probably be the one she pursued.
"The thing is, when you talk to Brooke about it, she's not sure she wants to – no, really, I'm not kidding," Griffith said. "Now, I have heard her as she talks to the other girls, that maybe she would like to play."
Right now, Howard is focused on settling a little score with Brandywine and carrying the Hornets as far as they can go this season.
"If we work hard and put our minds to it, we can do anything," she said.

This paper presents a new way to address and mitigate sampling jitter in high-frequency bandpass-sampling OFDM radio receivers. Baseband model for mapping the sampling jitter to certain type of phase noise is first presented, and stemming from this model, state-of-the-art phase noise mitigation techniques are then proposed to remove the jitter-induced signal distortion. Performances of the proposed jitter mitigation techniques are analyzed with extensive computer simulations in high-speed bandpass sampling multicarrier system context. In the link performance simulations, both additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) and extended ITU-R vehicular A multipath (eVehA) radio channel types are used, combined with realistic sampling clock and jitter modelling.

To the Editor.—
A recent report by Mungas, "Interictal Behavior Abnormalities in Temporal Lobe Epilepsy" (Archives 1982;39:108-111) refers extensively to a study conducted by Fedio and myself.1 I would like to comment on several points that Mungas raised.First, despite the critical stance of his paper, the author presented further evidence of the frequent occurrence of behavioral symptoms in temporal lobe epilepsy. This is entirely in agreement with our findings and certainly distinguishes limbic epilepsy from neurologic conditions such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis or myasthenia gravis, in which consistent behavioral changes are not found.In the study performed by Fedio and myself, patients were drawn from outpatient epilepsy clinics with no preselection for psychiatric disorder. Yet, in addition to their elevated trait scores on our inventory, 30% of the patients were found to have undergone psychiatric hospitalization. Among the 14 temporal lobe epileptics tested by Mungas, five were distinctively violent,

Adaptive Devices for Independent Living and Recreation
The sip/puff mouth controller for the Xbox 360® is similar to the Playstation 2® Controller, except it has an extra switch for the 'system file' operation, and has the 2 'Analog' trigger switches on the mouthpiece.
The standard Xbox360® controller includes three joysticks: One is directional–the "d" or digital joystick; the other two are proportional–the analog joysticks. The QuadControl mouth-operated joystick includes a toggle to designate whether the mouth-joystick is the "d" (digital) control; another toggle to designate the left or right analog control; lip switches for the L3 & R3.

Although trout fishing is the most popular for fall anglers, many other species can be taken successfully when the leaves begin to fall.
Bass, musky and walleye are all species anglers should take a look at chasing during the latter months of the year.
Bass fishing during the fall is a great time for anglers to take advantage of less crowded waters.
Musky fishing, meanwhile, tends to pick up in October and November in both stream and reservoirs.
Walleye fishing becomes more active around December. Most of the bigger walleyes landed each year come in the month of December.
Fall trout stocking will get under way in October.
A carry-over of trout stocked this past spring should also result in some good fall and winter fishing opportunities.
Anglers can visit the Web site at www.wvdnr.gov to find out which streams have been stocked each day.
Many outdoor enthusiasts will take advantage of the opportunity to enjoy a day of hunting and fishing during the fall stocking season.

SOUTH AMBOY - Five police officers -- more than 15 percent of the city's police department -- will be laid off, Mayor John T. O'Leary and City Business Administrator Camille Tooker said today.
"It is a difficult decision, and no one in this administration is happy about it, but the action is necessary in order to deal with the budgetary constraints we are experiencing not only here in South Amboy, but throughout the state and nation," said O'Leary.
The police officers are the five most junior officers in the city's 30-man department, said the mayor. The names of the officers were not released.
"It's shocking," said New Jersey State Policemen's Benevolent Association spokesman James Ryan. "Just last week the Attorney General released numbers saying crime is up. With crime up and the economy being down, now is the time we need more officers, not less."
South Amboy Police Chief James Wallis said he was disappointed but confident city officials were doing everything they could do to avoid the layoffs.
"Anytime anyone loses a job, it's hard," he said. "I'm the one that had to hand them their notice. It's tough. They are all five young good officers, and we hate to lose them."
Wallis said the layoffs could be enacted as early as July 1.
The mayor said over the last five years, South Amboy has experienced an increase in mandated budget expenses of over $1.5 million while seeing a decrease in revenue of a similar amount. He noted that the police department has historically varied between 26 and 30 members.
"I can assure the city residents that the layoffs will in no way affect their security here in the city of South Amboy," said the mayor.
Ryan disagreed. "If they were justified in hiring 30 officers in the first place, what makes them think now they don't need that same protection?," he asked.
Tooker said the city has applied for a COPS Hiring Recovery Grant under the federal stimulus legislation that would provide funding for up to five police officers. If approved, the grant would provide up to $1.3 million in salary funding plus benefits for three years.
"We are cautiously optimistic, but frankly we have to prepare for a worst-case scenario," said O'Leary. "We all need to remember we are in the worst recession this country has seen since the Great Depression."

2012 Hedge Funds: Best, Worst, Biggest
In March 2000, star manager Robert Sanborn bid the mutual-fund industry good riddance forever and decided to apply his penchant for value stocks to a hedge-fund strategy. Not only would he have more autonomy over his investment decisions, he figured, but he wouldn't have to worry about the whims of retail investors who "cashed out exactly when I wanted to invest."
He found a kindred spirit in former Chicago Mercantile Exchange CEO T. Eric Kilcollin, and in 2001 they launched Sanborn Kilcollin Partners. While Kilcollin handles the operations, Sanborn focuses on managing their Elkhorn Fund, which has posted 5.3% in average annual returns since inception, after fees, versus 3.3% for the Standard & Poor's 500.
When the markets are on a tear, as they have been in the past few years, their approach tends to lag, but the opposite is also true. In 2008, the fund's 14% loss was less than half that of the market and its volatility over time is much lower. Elkhorn charges a 1% management fee, along with 20% of performance, for its high-net-worth and institutional clientele.
A KEY PREMISE OF THE $250 million long-short strategy is that the 2000 dot-com implosion marked the start of a 20-year period of extreme market turbulence. As Sanborn saw it, the unprecedented wealth created in the 1980s and 1990s wasn't sustainable, and when markets failed to deliver, mayhem would ensue. Sanborn's theory proved prescient. The past decade has been marked by significant world events, market volatility, and "a series of rolling bubbles," from the housing prices to, most recently, U.S. Treasuries and other income-producing assets. "Everything we're trying to do is forestall the day of reckoning," says Sanborn, 54. "It's been like Waiting for Godot."
The value manager thinks the U.S. is just buying time. He's short Facebook and long PepsiCo. Callie Lipkin for Barron's
Sanborn, an avid golfer, oil painter, and father of 18-year-old twins, says he's laid back about most things, but when it comes to investing, "I'm very dogmatic." The longtime value manager began his career at the Ohio State Teachers Retirement System fund in the early 1980s and then moved over to Harris Associates in Chicago, where he managed the Oakmark Fund (ticker: OAKMX) from 1991 through early 2000.
In 1997, he was named Barron's manager of the year. Three years later, he was out of a job. "My partners were eager to find cheap tech, and I didn't think it existed," he says of his departure.
Even today, Sanborn is still wary of overpriced stocks, including technology companies. His portfolio in a nutshell: "I'm long PepsiCo PEP 0.3538834047308624% PepsiCo Inc.

At face value, the market is rife with reasonably priced stocks, he says, but the picture changes when you drop in an ominous macroeconomic backdrop. "If I were long only, I'd probably be 50% cash," he says. His primary worry is a surge in inflation.
"The shorts allow us to do things on the long side that we wouldn't have done," he says. Recently, for example, Sanborn's long positions were collectively trading at two times revenue and about eight times earnings before interest and taxes, while the short positions were at four times revenue and 20 times Ebit. "The market is paying a lot more for our shorts than our longs," he says. As the gap narrows, and he thinks it will, the fund will make money on both sides.
SANBORN NEVER BETS MORE than 20% of the portfolio on or against any one industry. "We are never going to be a big-bet strategy," he says. "That's the way you get noticed in the hedge-fund world—you have one outstanding year, and then you give it back." Ideally, he says, the portfolio will have 20 long positions, each representing 5% of the portfolio, and 20 short positions, each accounting for 2% of the total. The strategy, which does employ some leverage, was recently 85% long and 35% short.
Sanborn takes long-term positions—typically five years or more—in both undervalued long positions and overvalued short positions. This is a big departure from most long-short funds, which typically move in and out of their shorts quickly, but Sanborn believes that the market rewards patience. Take Facebook, which Sanborn began shorting after its May 2012 initial public offering. The stock, which has a $67 billion market value, may go to $40 in the short term, he says, but that doesn't change how he feels about the long-term prospects or, rather, the lack thereof. Not only does it trade at high multiples and with suspect revenues, he says, it's vulnerable to obsolescence. "The other night, I was watching an old episode of The Big Bang Theory and one of the characters was talking about his MySpace account," says Sanborn. (MySpace was a former unit of News Corp., the parent of Barron's, and was sold to Specific Media and singer-actor Justin Timberlake in 2011.) "It's impossible to know where Facebook will be five years from now," he says.

The veteran manager has similar concerns about the Canadian athletic apparel darling Lululemon, which has a $9.8 billion valuation. He began shorting it last year. It's a strong brand with sales per square footage that is "off the charts," but at some point, he says, the market for $98 yoga pants will be saturated. "I'm looking out five years and don't think the company will be what it is today."

He has since changed his opinion on those two names and no longer shorts the stocks—not that he's buying them at today's prices.
In contrast, Apache trades at a huge discount to its earnings at five times 2012 Ebit, notes Sanborn. "Natural gas has done poorly, but its valuation is extremely compelling," he says. Although natural-gas prices are cheap now, he believes that will change as the U.S. economy adapts to energy independence and finds more uses for this resource. "We're patiently waiting for that to happen." As an additional selling point, this is a strong inflation hedge. Although Apache and many of the stocks in Sanborn's strategy pay dividends, he says he doesn't seek out yield. "All things being equal, I think yield is a negative valuation factor right now," he adds.
PepsiCo—the largest holding at 7% of the portfolio—also illustrates the types of companies Sanborn likes to buy and hold. The stock trades at two times sales and nine times Ebit, which is "pretty darn compelling."

Moulded wing layup advice
Hey to all you composite masters. I have a question about the layup for my next moulded Scorcher 2M. Its a ds plane so weight is not an issue and I mostly use glass instead of carbon. My first one was, from the outside in, 2oz/ 6oz/ 1.5mm balsa/ 6oz (all glass) with a healthy over lap in the centre on the wing. This gave me a nice strong layup and the weight could go up more with no issues. I think this is a balanced layup, but I have heard lately about putting the two layers of 6oz cloth outside the balsa and just capping the inside with 2oz to hold it all together. I can imagine this would give me a tougher skin but will I be losing some of the stiffness out of the sandwich because its no longer balanced? I can always use 6oz cloth on the inside of the balsa if I need to but just wanted an opinion on it.
Thanks, Josh
If weight is no problem, why don't you put 2 6oz outside and 1 6oz inside to get a stiffer skin?

I'm not sure what your airframe is but if your using 2x6 oz, balsa is not needed.
The wing shown is 1 6oz and 1 4oz. It does "oilcan" if pinched but will not, and has not failed in flight. Free atmosphere lay up, no vac bags.
This configuration does not dent like balsa skin in glass. Even when dropped.
Nitro .OS 46VF 2 stroke engine powered. Lots of vibration, is still flying after around 5years. Not much wear.
Josh is building a DS glider with a very thin airfoil (8%) that is capable of going 300 mph. Telemetry has measured 90 g's in these things. I think that the sandwich construction on the wing is mandatory unless there are many weblets to keep everything in the right shape.
Josh, I'd recommend laying up some samples with varying layups so you can feel for yourself the difference.

I'm going to agree with Adam, you must test. I know on my DLG wings I use the reasonably lightest glass on the inside of the rohacell but this is to reduce weight as much as reasonably possible. I will say the layup is fairly balanced with 0.73oz glass on the inside and outside skins.
Perhaps more glass on the outside will be better, as you gain a bit more strength from laminates on the outside of the wing, but the thickness of your balsa shear web has a large say in the matter. If this is relatively thin, say 2-3mm, putting glass on the outside or inside is reasonably similar in overall structural performance. One factor that should be considered is warping, by running a highly unbalanced layup on the inside and outside of the skin, are you going to induce a twist into the wing? I don't have a good answer to that question other than I do my best to match up the glass on the inside and outside of the rohacell so I am at ease on this issue.
Thanks guys, I'll have to do some testing. I dissected my poor broken D60 wing the other day and found the layup to be (roughly) 2oz glass/ 6oz carbon/ 1.5mm balsa/ 2oz glass. These skins are very stiff but are unballanced.
I'll have to work out what weight I want my next wing to come out at and build the weight into the layup. I reckon I can afford to put at least another kilo into the airframe without spoiling the flight (may need more than ten knots to fly now though!) so I have plenty of room to move with layups.
Cheers, Josh
I don't see any problem having unbalanced Layuos, since they're balanced when you take in count the other wing skin.
The important thing about balance, is that the fabrics have balanced thread count. If they do, then everything will be fine. If you put the heavier fabrics on the outside of the wingskins you have more distance between the top and bottom skins, this means stiffer structure. That's why everybody puts the carbon outside when doing single carbon wingskins, and not on the inner side of the sandwich.

As a data point, I use 1.4 glass/3.16 glass/2.5mm 51IGF Rohacell/2.3 glass. Center 5.7 glass doubler between the layers. My wings see 25+G and up to 230mph.

I do, at the leading edge and tips to help it conform, and at the trailing edge for clearance. The center 5.7 doubler is just to help with landing gear loads, it tapers to the fuselage width at the trailing edge.
Have you watched the "Raketenwurm" thread? It doesn't answer your question about the layup, but it does appear to put to rest the question regarding the "balanced" layup myth. I, like you, was concerned to have it ballance on my first moulded wing job. Many examples, like the one above, use all structural layer outside the core and a veil layer only on the inside. Like Chetomachine and others have said above.
I'm about to make a choice for a light layup to build set of wings (and fuse) for a light version of my plank. Somewhat opposite set of consideration to yours though.
Hey Jim, I made a light version of my 60" moulded wing with 2oz glass/ 1.5mm balsa/ 2oz glass. It was nice and light and stiff for the weight. Only problem was that it dinted very easily, mostly because the balsa was pretty soft and crap quality. I reckon 4oz glass on the outside would have helped me along with some better balsa or maybe vaneer.
Good luck with it.

Preventing and Detecting Accounting Irregularities: The Role of Corporate Governance
Nadia Smaili
University of Quebec in Montreal Business School
Réal Labelle
HEC Montréal - Stephen A. Jarislowsky Chair in Governance
January 7, 2009
This study examines the extent to which corporate governance acts as an efficient means of protecting investors against accounting irregularities, thus contributing to the literatures on governance, on fraudulent financial statements and on the public enforcement of securities laws by market authorities. It does so by empirically testing the prediction that the seriousness or level of non compliance of irregularities detected by market authorities is negatively associated with the quality of governance. For that purpose, a sample of 107 firms identified as reporting issuers in default by the Canadian Securities Administrators and the Ontario Securities Commission is matched with 107 other control firms based on industry, size, stock exchange membership and date of default.

Arlington City Council considers Riverfront Master Plan, Comp Plan contract
ARLINGTON — During its Monday, March 10, workshop meeting, the Arlington City Council reviewed the Riverfront Master Plan proposed by city staff, which city of Arlington Natural Resources Director Bill Blake requested be approved, to allow the city to move forward on a grant request to the Recreation and Conservation Office for improvements to Haller Park and the Country Charm Park and Conservation Area.
Blake explained that the city led a program in 2011 and 2012 to develop the Riverfront Master Plan, complete with a citizen sub-committee and a series of meetings to gain feedback and review community questionnaires. He presented the proposed plan as the result, and cited its report of a number of comments from the community. To apply for the RCO grant the City Council must adopt a current master plan and a capital improvement plan since the city's parks master plan expired in 2012.
"The RCO has reviewed the Riverfront Master Plan and agreed to give us until April 18 to adopt the plan," said Blake, who elaborated that this plan will again be reviewed in 2015, as part of the city-wide Comprehensive Plan update, which will give the community additional opportunities to improve the plan's recommendations. "If we do adopt it, we've got a lot of feedback to work with, which we will revisit."
That feedback can be found, along with the rest of the Riverfront Master Plan, on the city's website at http://arlingtonwa.gov/modules/showdocument.aspx?documentid=7844.
The city's Comprehensive Plan update also figured into the city staff-proposed professional service agreement with the Shockey Planning Group.
Paul Ellis, community and economic development director for the city of Arlington, noted that the contract is stipulated not to exceed $30,000.
"It's a pretty small contract, but we just lack the technical ability to do it all," said Ellis, who summed up the Shockey Development Group's assistance to the city, in developing its Comprehensive Plan updates, as including public outreach and interaction with the City Council, Planning Commission and staff.
In addition to assessing the city's Comprehensive Plan, the Shockey Planning Group would schedule public hearings and meetings, as well as prepare informational materials for citizens and the media, in addition to draft and final reports outlining mandatory changes and draft amendments to the City Code, as warranted.
"I'm really impressed by him," Council member Marilyn Oertle said of Shockey Planning Group founder Reid Shockey. "He's smart and easy to work with."
Oertle's comments were echoed by fellow Council member Debora Nelson.
Both of these proposals are slated to be voted on by the Arlington City Council during their Monday, March 17 meeting, at 7 p.m. in the Council Chambers.

John Hoyer Updike was born on March 18, 1932 in Reading, PA, a mid-sized manufacturing town located in the heart of Pennsylvania Dutch country. His mother, Linda Grace (Hoyer) Updike, was a homemaker with artistic aspirations, while his father, Wesley Russell Updike, was a beleaguered, though beloved, high-school science teacher. An only child, Updike spent the first 13 years of his life in the small town of Shillington, PA, in a tight-knit household that also included his mother's parents, John and Katherine Hoyer. A trolley line ran right past his house, while Shillington High School, where his father worked, sat nestled just behind the backyard. The family did not even own a car.

In Brief: L'Aquila mayor resigns in wake of bribery probe
L'Aquila mayor resigns in wake of bribery probe
ROME -- The mayor of the quake-ravaged Italian city of L'Aquila resigned Saturday amid fallout from an investigation into bribes allegedly paid to civil servants for contracts to rebuild the city center.
Massimo Cialente announced his resignation at a hastily-called news conference Saturday, saying he was paying the price for others' misdeeds and simply couldn't represent the city anymore.
His departure came days after police announced that eight people, including Cialente's deputy, had been placed under investigation in the case. Vice Mayor Roberto Riga said he was innocent, but resigned Wednesday.
More than 300 people were killed and thousands of buildings in L'Aquila and the Abruzzo region were damaged by the April 6, 2009, temblor.
3 U.N. peacekeepers wounded in north Mali
BAMAKO, Mali -- A spokesman for the U.N. peacekeeping mission in Mali said three peacekeepers were wounded while pursuing suspects in an attack near a military camp in the country's north.
Olivier Salgado said Saturday a rocket attack took place Friday evening in Aguel'hoc, and a battalion of Chadian peacekeepers with the mission known as MINUSMA were out on patrol searching for the assailants.
Around noon, the peacekeepers exchanged fire with gunmen, and three of the Chadians were wounded and taken to Gao for treatment.
Security remains tenuous in the region, as al-Qaida-linked militants remain active even after a French-led military operation to oust them from power in 2013.
Russia: 5 terror suspects caught in North Caucasus
MOSCOW -- Five terror suspects were detained Saturday in one of Russia's North Caucasus provinces as the country's security agencies were scrambling to uproot any potential threat to the Sochi Games.
The bust in the city of Nalchik, located about 185 miles east of Sochi, comes less than a month before the start of the 2014 Winter Olympics.
The National Anti-Terrorism Committee said the suspects belonged to an international terror group and were in possession of grenades, ammunition and a self-made explosive device.
The arrests follow back-to-back suicide bombings in the city of Volgograd in southern Russia, which killed 34 and wounded 100 others, on Dec. 29-30.
FBI: Kenya mall attackers believed to be dead
NAIROBI, Kenya -- The gunmen who attacked an upscale mall in Kenya's capital, killing at least 67 people, likely died in the attack, an FBI official said.
Al-Qaida-linked al-Shabab militants claimed responsibility for the Sept. 21 attack on Nairobi's Westgate Mall. Al-Shabab said the attack was in retaliation of Kenya sending its troops to Somalia to fight the militants.
Dennis Brady, the FBI legal attache in Nairobi, said in an interview posted Friday on the bureau's website: "We believe, as do the Kenyan authorities, that the four gunmen inside the mall were killed."
"Our ERT (Evidence Response Team) made significant finds, and there is no evidence that any of the attackers escaped from the area where they made their last stand," he said.
