I remember when you did that paint scheme Moon!!! I like that, & even better is your Slow Stick!! I LOVE the LED's on her!! That's gotta be fun at night!!
I loaded up my ParkZone Super Cub with LED's, always wanted to do the Stryker up, but even if I did I don't think I'd have the guts enough to fly her at night, I'd be too scared, LOL!!! After more than a year & 100+ flights she still makes me nervous during the day when I fly her, I can't imagine how I'd feel flying her at night, LOL!!!

Wondering if anyone has come up with a unique way to reinforce the skids?
Our field is horrible. Asphalt that has been crack sealed over and over again to point of being covered with huge bumps. I keep breaking/tearing off the skids. Got to do something.
I put neon orange duct tape on the skids, and replace the tape whenever it starts looking scruffy.
Doesn't add much structural strength; just a layer of abrasion-protection. But it's nice for aestheics and vis.
Our house is completely over run with My Little Ponies. Have to admit, I'm a big Pinkie Pie fan having been forced to watch so many episodes, she's hilarious! I like the lady that does Rainbow Dash & Apple Jack's voice, (she's hot! Ashleigh Ball, sings in a band called "Hey Ocean").
Hey Rcoconut,
Thanks!! Yeah I don't have the required "brass pair" either to fly the Stryker Q at night. For night flying, the Slow Stick is about my speed.
The ole Stryker is gaining new fans every time I fly it. This past Saturday I was flying at that large mass of land near my brother's house. The property owner came out with his grand kids to watch, and they kept wanting me to fly the Stryker Q. Had 5 planes with me but they were just all about the Stryker. Had a great day of flying!

Having a problem with my Stryker. In high alpha flight I get a lot of wing rock that is hard to control. I don't know if this is a CG problem, power problem or what; but doing slow high alpha flying is proving difficult. Open to any suggestions.
Try it inverted instead, and you'll see that having the rudders out of the shadow of the wing will give you more stability, but upright, there isn't enough air moving across the control surfaces to give any control.

Some prop discussion
I've been flying my Stryker on the stock motor with a 45a esc out of a Squall HP because the stock esc failed. The prop I've been using is the apc 7x5e, which is an incredible prop in this plane, aside from the fact it is all around better than the stock prop plus cheaper and more durable. To put comments in perspective - I like going fast, but also like aerobatics and trying to go 100mph is not that important to me. The plane goes PLENTY fast with my setup and actually has true unlimited vertical capability.
I just received two Graupner Speed 6.5x6.5 props after reading how good they are. I must be missing something because it does not pull as many amps, generate as many watts, or pull anywhere near as well as the apc. Now this testing was only on the ground with a meter because the weather is horrible. When I was holding the plane at wot I would estimate the apc pull is nearly twice that of the graupner.
Anyone want to comment?
PS: On another subject, this is the backhanded frisbee launch I use and have found to be very easy and comfortable. You don't throw it, just let it fly out of your hand.

Yes, but need to qualify that. First I THINK I ran my meter on it and it was pulling 44amps at wot on the ground. But I had a few things that may have contributed to its failure - a couple of really hard crashes, one that was at close to full throttle and straight into the ground. I also had a couple of accidental full throttle runs with no prop on motor. Don't know if these things contributed or not. I have flown the dog snot out of it using the 45a Squall esc with no problem at all. Hope this helps, think you will be fine
You'll have 4 servos so that will work for dual aileron, elevator and rudder and of course you have the excellent 2200kv motor and 40 amp esc which has 55 amp burst capability.
The equipment will also fit into a 2 meter glider such as the Parkzone Radian and Pro , just to give examples.
The Parkzone models already come ready to fly but I'm just using the size of the models as a rough guide for you.
The range of Multiplex models are very good foam (Elapor) units which usually come with the need to install all your own equipment.
If you're trying to get away from flying wings then that may be a place to start. The Easy Glider Pro is an instant suggestion for 2s and although it is classed as a "Hotliner" you may well be pleasantly surprised with the Blizzard, a stunning performer which would be excellent for the power set up of the Stryker either on 3 s for max performance or on 2s for a more sedate glider.
Only needing servos and esc the Graupner Elektro Junior S is a beautiful model too. It comes supplied with the motor and spinner suitable for the plane but requires everything else.
Of course you could always sell your Stryker as it is and then fund your next project without having to butcher the Stryker. It will sell easily providing it's in good condition.
I second the 2 meter idea...

Remembering Whitney Houston
Putting things in perspective
We lost a legend far too soon, and Ms. Houston's legacy no doubt will live on. She is missed and the world is a better place because of her unmatched talent and unselfish contributions to various causes. RIP Whitney.
We should also remember the other heroes we've also lost recently. In the eight days since Ms. Houston's death, the Pentagon has announced the following losses:
Army Sgt. Jerry D. Reed II
Navy Petty Officer 3rd Class Kyler L. Estrada
Army Pfc. Cesar Cortez
Marine Lance Cpl. Osbrany Montes De Oca
Each died, not in a hotel in LA, but overseas, far from home, and their funerals will likely be in neighborhood places of worship, not much different than New Hope Baptist Church. And their average age was less that half that of Ms. Houston.
Keep all in your thoughts and prayers as we mourn the loss of those who have given so much to us -- Jerry, Kyler, Cesar, Osbrany, and Whitney.

Police search for suspect in deadly Indio shooting
Indio police officers called to report of collision find man with gunshot wounds
Indio police were investigating a deadly shooting Sunday after being called to a two vehicle car crash at Calhoun Street just north of Date Avenue.
The call at 2:45 p.m. was originally for a traffic collision, but officers found a man injured in a shooting.
Indio Police Department spokesman, Ben Guitron, said there appeared to have been some sort of confrontation and then one person was shot by another person in the other vehicle.
A suspect description was vague, police only saying a hispanic man fled the scene. Police were still looking for him Sunday evening, but had no motive for the crime.
They did not know what connection he may have had to the original collision.
Indio police did not believe any Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival goers were involved. It appeared to be local residents.

This paper examines, from a constitutional point of view, the decisions of the Spanish National Court and the Spanish Supreme Court in the case known as "De Juana Chaos". It analyzes the criteria applied by these Courts when applying the "Threats", "Terrorist Threats", and "Glorification of Terrorism" crimes and the freedom of expression issues they involve. Adopting a critical position to the line of arguments used by the courts, the paper demands the use of basic interpretative principles in the field of fundamental rights with this category of cases.

Radiation oncology is the medical specialty concerned with treating cancer by radiation. Approximately half of cancer patients receive radiation at some time during their treatment.
Duke Regional Hospital's radiation oncology clinic treats breast, prostate, lung, head and neck, gastrointestinal, and skin cancers as well as lymphoma and brain tumors, and offers palliation for metastatic disease.
Since opening in November 1996, the radiation oncology clinic has seen over 5,000 new patients and delivered more than 54,400 radiation treatments. Both external beam radiotherapy and radioactive implants (brachytherapy) are offered at Duke Regional Hospital.
The radiation oncology clinic is a cooperative effort between Duke Regional Hospital and Duke University Medical Center, and is staffed by Duke physicians, therapists, dosimetrists, and physicists.
We work closely with our surgical and medical oncology colleagues to ensure all patients' needs are met.
Advanced Technology for Better Results
External radiation is delivered by a linear accelerator. A new state-of-the-art linear accelerator machine was installed in 2008.
The machine has the ability to:
- Use electrons or photons for superficial or deep penetration. Photons are used to treat most common malignancies that are deep-seated, such as those in the lung, abdomen, pelvis, head, and neck. Electron energies are used to treat more superficial cancers such as skin, lymph nodes, and surgical scars.
- Perform intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT), which helps reduce side effects from treatment.
- Improve target accuracy by using image-guided radiotherapy (IGRT), diagnostic quality x-ray or computed tomography (CT) with the patient on the treatment table.
- Perform extracranial stereotactic radiation therapy (SBRT), which provides focused conformable high dose treatments for recurrent or inoperable tumors.
- Match treatment to breathing cycle to minimize tumor or organ motion (respiratory-gating).
Prostate Implants
Permanent prostate implants for the treatment of localized prostate cancer are offered at Duke Regional Hospital through the joint services of the urologists and radiation oncologists on staff.
Learn more about our treatments for urologic cancers.
Convenient Access to Quality Care
Services are provided Monday through Friday between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. to both inpatients and outpatients. Typically, treatments last 15 to 30 minutes and are given daily over several weeks.
Free, reserved parking is available just outside the radiation oncology entrance.
Contact Us
For more information about the clinic or to make an appointment, call 919-470-8600. After hours, please call 919-470-4000 and ask for the radiation oncologist on call.

It's not a blueprint that guarantees victory, but sometimes the best way to win a championship is by having an offense that's a threat to turn any game into a rout in a matter of a few shifts.
Defending Division II (small schools) state champion Kenmore East proved that last season, averaging 6.5 goals per game by rolling four lines filled with finishers to a 22-2-1 record. That championship ending helped the Bulldogs squash any lingering feelings of disappointment they felt at the conclusion of the 2010-11 season, when their offensive juggernaut of a team – which averaged 6.7 goals in 14 league games – ran into a hot goalie (every team's nightmare), who ended their season in the Federation final.
West Seneca West knows about disappointment. The Indians have lost in double overtime in the Fed Small School semifinals twice the past three seasons – including last year when they lost to Williamsville East to cap a 15-6-1 campaign.
It's still early in the season, but West Seneca West looks like it has plenty of finishers to perhaps bury past postseason disappointments. The Indians have 24 goals through four games.
Among key returnees is senior Tyler Chodkowski, who will become the program's all-time leader in goals the next time two times he lights the lamp. Adam Johnson holds the record with 25 and Chodkowski has 24.
"Every team has one [scoring line], but we have three or four and we believe that gives us a little bit of an advantage with our depth," West coach Kevin Rozo said. "We were the only team [Fed small schools] that beat Ken East last season. For us it's looking to take that next step. We're looking to take that next step and get to Super Sunday."
Chodkowski saw significant time last year along with fellow returnees Pat Ciancio and Brandon Bork. Jamie Tobias, a senior who hadn't played the past two seasons, has three goals and a team-high seven points in three league games. He is a two-sport athlete this winter as he's also running distance races for West's indoor track team. He runs cross country during the fall.
According to Rozo, he wanted to play hockey one more time before graduating and have a chance to play on the same team as his younger brother Adam, a sophomore defenseman.
"He's been a huge help for us and has bolstered those top two lines," Rozo said of Jamie Tobias. "He's the fastest guy on the ice. He can set them up and he can finish."
Other key returnees for the Indians include senior captain John Danovskis and defenseman Matt Barth. Both are in their third seasons.
Williamsville East and Sweet Home are also making some noise early in the season.
Will East began the league season 4-1 (the loss to West Seneca West), with returning junior goalie Adam Dentico winning each of those games via shutout. He's the Flames' No. 1 goalie now that Tucker Weppner, the MVP of the 2011 Fed Small School final, is playing for a prep school in Connecticut.
Will East senior forward Austin Bianchi entered last weekend with five goals and nine points in five league games. He's one of 15 returnees from last year's sectional runner-up team that went 12-2 in league. Other key ones include senior forwards Josh Sadkin, Mike Carballada and John Bielinski. The defense returns seniors Brenden Chambers, Bobby Finley, David Paul and Jacob Shine.
"We keep coming at you," Flames coach Mike Torrillo said. "We're a tough team I think. ... They've experienced a lot of things. They're not intimidated. ... Having them ready to play come playoff time, that's the goal."
Sweet Home (5-1-1) bolted to a 4-0 start behind senior Randy DiNatale's 17 points. He had 24 goals and 19 assists last year, while junior Connor Beaudet had nine goals and 35 points in 22 games.
New 'Dogs in fold
Graduation isn't the only thing to hit Ken East hard. The Bulldogs also lost potential returnees to either full-season Tier I or junior-level teams (both of which are higher level of play than Fed).
Taylor Davis, who was a second team all-state pick as a sophomore, is now playing defense for Ottawa of the major junior Ontario Hockey League – which is heavily scouted by National Hockey League personnel. Andy Robinson, Colin Farrell and David Hopfer are playing for the Buffalo Regals/Jr. Sabres Elite Midget Team, which is scouted by junior-level and Division I college coaches.
With eight returnees, Ken East's goal is to maintain its competitiveness throughout the season and "hopefully peak around February and sectionals," according to coach Kyle Pray.
Among the returnees are goalies Mike Davern and Trevor Taggart. Mitchell Calkins should help anchor the defense, while senior captain Anthony Amoia is an excellent two-way player. Brenon Sarratori and Mike Diliberto will lead the offense.
"We'll have some growing pains, but if the boys work hard and adapt to our system, I feel we swill be better in the second half of the season," Pray said.
Meanwhile, Blake Schneider had three goals and seven points and Adam Herr had six goals through four games to help Williamsville South (5-2) open league play 4-0.
Coach Sean Green's team has shown to be resilient thus far, something he said the 10 returnees learned from last year's seniors. The Billies rallied for a 3-1 win last Thursday after entering the third period down, 1-0, to North Tonawanda. They also won a back-and-forth game against West Seneca East, 6-5, in overtime.
"It's one of the most complete teams we've had," Green said. "We don't have any travel elite players but they're playing together and doing a fantastic job."
N-W reloads in large schools
Niagara-Wheatfield won its second Large School playoff title in four years last year and is off to a 2-0 start already with its wins over Clarence and perennial contender Williamsville North.
Senior Mike Parisi was one of the league's top players last year, recording 14 goals in 13 Fed games. He plays on the top line with classmate Anthony Merante and junior Anthony Vekich. Vekich had nine goals and 13 assists in 16 games last year.
"We're young but we're good up front," coach Rick Wrazin said. "We have a lot of speed still.
"We have a target on our backs. We know that. ... If they work hard, pay attention to detail and use their speed I think we can be there again [contending for the title]."
Junior Frank Vecchio is new to the Falcons and has five assists already. Fellow newcomer, sophomore Dominic Senese, already has four goals.
Returning defensemen include Matt Peters, Jeff Janese, Adriano Medici and John McCasey.
Clarence, Lancaster and Frontier figure to be among the contenders.
The Red Devils' returnees include all-division honorable mentions Josh Owczarzak and Matt Colicchia. Senior forward Brian Ruff, son of Sabres coach Lindy Ruff, has a four-goal game on his resume. He is also playing for the No. 8-ranked Buffalo Junior Sabres of the Ontario Junior Hockey League as the schedules worked out so that he could meet Fed commitment requirements and play for both teams. Clarence practices in the mornings before school, which proved to be a big help.
"He wanted to do this. When you're a senior you don't ever get to do this again," coach Rick Brooks said.
Senior captain and defenseman Mark Armstrong, who is 6-foot-4, is expected to attend Pittsburgh on baseball scholarship next fall. Senior Taggart Ledyard, son of ex-Sabres defenseman Grant, is Clarence's other captain.
Lancaster's Manny Manns (two goals, five points in three league games) was a first team all-division pick last year, while fellow returning senior William Delano (two goals, four points) was a second-team pick. Jon Chavanne had 10 points in 13 league games last season. Junior goalie Justin DiChristopher was a second-team all-division pick. Other key returnees include forward Travis Valvo and defenseman Matt Molnar. The Redskins are off to a 3-0-1 start, including a tie with St. Joe's.
Frontier hopes to make some noise with a roster that features 15 returnees and nine seniors total, including returning first team all-division goalie Cooper Soto (2.45 goals-against average), first-team forward Bob Piotrowicz and second-team forward Gavin Evancho. Other key returnees from a team that won a program-record 15 games last year include forwards include Nick Ortiz and Jacob Macchioni.
Piotrowicz (11 goals, 26 points in league; 23 goals, 40 points overall), Evancho, who set the school record with 22 assists last year, and Ortiz (seven goals, 18 points in league) play on the same line and led the Falcons in scoring last year. Frontier beat Williamsville North for the first time in its history last Saturday.
"We're going to do our best to win our first league championship. They have an opportunity," Frontier's 13th-year coach Bob Klimowicz said.
Williamsville North fields one of its youngest teams in coach Bob Rosen's 23 years behind the bench, but still can't be counted out based on reputation (six-time Fed champion and four-time state champion, most recently in 2011).
The Spartans' top returnees are Tyler Green, who has a baseball scholarship for Vanderbilt, along with seniors Jon Lunney, Ben Ferro and Alex Wapniewski and junior Sean Bailey.
"The kids have a great attitude, they work hard and hopefully we'll continue to get better," said Rosen.
St. Joe's out for revenge
St. Joe's has some sharp new jerseys similar to the Montreal Canadiens scheme of things except in Marauders' colors.
The Marauders hope they get to show off the new duds at Super Sunday in late February. They're still upset they failed to reach the Federation's Catholic Championship game last year because it was their biggest rival, Canisius, which foiled their dream of back-to-back championships.
Proof that the defeat still gnaws at St. Joe's: "We are looking very forward to our game against Canisius Jan. 10, not only because they're our rival," coach Rich Crozier said.
To put it in perspective, the Marauders handled the Crusaders during both regular-season meetings only to fall to them in double overtime in the playoff semifinals.
"Last year was disappointing," he said. "It was a special team, 23 wins, 3 losses. When I took over the program five years ago, that group were freshmen. We kind of came through the program together. It was a difficult loss in the semifinals.
"The toughest part about any playoff loss is the immediacy. ... But that being said, I feel like we have a really strong team this year. Certainly, last year's disappointment is motivating us to meet expectations this year. As difficult as it is and I certainly put a lot of pressure on myself, any year we take the ice, anything less that a state championship is a disappointment. The hope this year is we'll meet expectations."
The Marauders have 11 returnees on their 22-man roster hoping to do just that, including junior defenseman Dennis Gilbert – who has a scholarship offer from Niagara – along with gritty forward Zach Klapp (five goals, three games), the physical Eric Paradowski, who was third on the team in goals last year, and play-making center Dimitri Gogos
Speaking of the Crusaders, they have 12 returnees back from their Fed Catholic playoff runner-up team and are off to an 8-0 start.
Austin Aksoy has a goal and eight assists in the first two league games, while Louie Oliveri has displayed a finishing touch with six goals and eight points in that span.
Coach Mike Broderick said Canisius is feeding off a 4-0 nonleague run against quality teams from Ohio, including wins over Bishop Walsh and St. Ignatius.
On St. Joe's already eying the Jan. 10 showdown: "Last year was their [the Marauders'] year. He [Crozier] worked very hard with that group. I respect Rich. They're a very organized program, but that day was ours," Broderick said.
While the bitter rivals may be the teams favored to advance to the state Catholic final, Bishop Timon-St. Jude is a team to fear. The Tigers are off to a 7-1 start and played four of those games without captain Alex Corbett, who returned to the lineup Sunday in a 5-2 win nonleague win over Will South. Mike Faliero and Justin Blake are top returnees. Newcomer Conor Fields leads Timon with 11 goals.
The defending champion St. Francis Red Raiders (4-7-1) lost 15 players to either graduation or the school's prep team. They have lost five games by one goal so far but do return forward Tyler McTigue, who had five points in Sunday's 6-5 overtime win over West Seneca East, along with forward Bernie Lettieri and defenseman Mike Prentice.
Around the boards
• The annual pre-Christmas meeting between Original Eight Fed rivals Williamsville North and St. Joe's takes place at 7 p.m. Thursday.

Even as New Jersey hospitals continue to run out of money and close, the industry remains a vital part of the economy, employing 145,000 people and spending $18 billion, according to a report by the New Jersey Hospital Association.
With eight hospitals closing in nearly two years, the 74 remaining facilities pump billions of dollars into the state's economy through salaries, income taxes and medical services, according to the association's annual economic impact report released today.
The association has often used the report to help make its case that state lawmakers need to be more generous with charity care aid and other grant programs. Another report the association released in November said nearly half of all hospitals are losing money.
As New Jersey's hospitals are nearly all nonprofits required by law to provide care to all patients, the industry also provided charity care worth $1.3 billion for uninsured people in 2007. The state reimbursed hospitals $715 million when the 2008 fiscal year ended in June, and dedicated $605 million in the current year.
"Hospitals are dependable sources of jobs, income taxes, and spending through good times and bad,'' said Betsy Ryan, president and CEO for the Hospital Association, an industry trade group. "Even in a recession, individuals continue to depend on their community hospitals - perhaps even more so as rising unemployment claims more individuals' health insurance.''
Hospitals are second only to state, county and local governments for employing the most people in New Jersey, according to the report.
The analysis includes how hospitals boost the economy by county. In Essex County, hospitals employ 14,722 full-time jobs and inject $2.6 billion into the economy; in Middlesex County, hospitals employ 10,300 people and inject $1.6 billion; in Morris County hospital employ 7,800 people and inject $1 billion.
The report can be found on the New Jersey Hospital Association website.

London's Arab media 'give a distorted view'
Arab journalists in London have been criticised by a leading Israeli Arab activist for giving a distorted view of Israel.
Wafa Fahoum, who runs Israel's oldest co-existence project, Bet Hagefen, spoke out after meeting the Muslim and Arab media in the capital last week.
She said: "One woman said, as though there were no debate, that there is apartheid in Israel. I was surprised. I told her that there was a big difference between fighting for equality and shared citizenship and apartheid. I want my rights, but it's not apartheid.
"We want equality, compensation for the land we lost, dignified life, to see the Palestinian-Israeli conflict resolved."
But she noted: "The Arab community does have less chances and opportunities because of the conflict. Their identities are complicated. They belong to Israel as citizens but their roots are Palestinian."
Mrs Fahoum is known in Israel as a tough talker who will go to great lengths to improve relations between Jewish and Arab Israelis.
One of her major successes has been her work with security staff at Ben Gurion airport to improve their treatment of Arab passengers.
This was sparked after her then nine-year-old daughter was repeatedly questioned at the airport more often than her Jewish peers.
"I found it very frustrating. She travelled many times and had the same attitude displayed to her. Eventually, it got to the point where I had to change it."
While not wishing to compromise security, she said: "I want to show the airport staff that not all Arabs are their enemies." Now every new intake of security staff at the airport gets a briefing from her — and feedback suggests that things have improved as a result.
Her latest scheme is an education programme with the Israeli army, which she hopes will become part of basic training and produce "better soldiers, better human beings and better citizens". The syllabus is likely to include a Palestinian history of Israel.
Mrs Fahoum, who was brought to London by Bicom, will join her 18-year-old son, Fahoum Fahoum, in marking Israel's 60th anniversary: he has been selected to carry a torch at the Har Herzl celebrations.
"He will light a flame and give his belief, that we, Arabs and Jews, are here, so now let's utilise our lives for the best."

Israeli perceptions of President Barack Obama's administration as "pro-Israel" have dropped substantially, according to a new poll. Just 6 percent of Jewish Israeli respondents interviewed this week believe the Obama administration is pro-Israel. That compares with 31 percent who considered Obama to have pro-Israel views just one month ago. The poll was conducted by the Smith Research company and commissioned by The Jerusalem Post.
50 percent of those surveyed said the policies of the Obama White House are more pro-Palestinian than pro-Israeli, while 36 percent said the policies were neutral.
Many analysts attribute the plunging Israeli perception of the president's policies to his call for Israel to stop all construction in Jewish West Bank settlements, including allowances for natural growth of the population. Nearly 300,000 Jews live in the West Bank, the biblical lands of Judea and Samaria. By a firm majority, Israeli Jews support the dismantling of outposts their government has deemed to be illegal. But when it comes to halting construction in large settlement blocs such as Ma'ale Adumim and Gush Etzion just outside Jerusalem, and Ariel in Samaria, 69 percent of those surveyed oppose a construction freeze.
In a major address at the beginning of the week, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu restated his opposition to the U.S. call for the end to construction in the settlements. The poll shows Israelis back the prime minister on this issue, and Netanyahu advisor Zalman Shoval expressed his personal opinion that the Obama adminstration could have more trouble trying to mediate the conflict between Israel and the Palestinians.
"Some of the indications we have seen in the last few weeks make it more difficult for Israelis to see the U.S. in its traditional role as an honest broker," Shoval said.

He has every right to control how HE eats. But he doesn't have the right to tell YOU how to eat. Frankly I wouldn't even try to justify the diet. I would tell him, "I'm following Primal Blueprint and if you want to learn more about why here's the website and here's the book. End of subject." I can't even imagine my OH trying to tell me how to eat. He loves his carbs- his bread, his pasta. Good for him. He also loves and respects me enough to let me be Primal.

This time, shootout goes in Dallas Stars' favor
The shootout has been nothing but problematic for the Dallas Stars this season, so setting a franchise record for the longest shootout in a 3-2 victory against San Jose on Friday was unexpected.
But Marty Turco allowed only one goal in 11 rounds (topping the Stars' previous long of nine rounds), Matt Niskanen scored on his first-ever shootout attempt, and the Stars won for only the second time this season in eight shootout games.
But the problems clearly aren't solved, as Stars shooters are 6-for-35 on the season.
While Stars shooters repeatedly tried to beat San Jose goalie Evgeni Nabokov between the pads Friday, Niskanen watched, learned, then flipped a wrister over Nabokov's glove from a safe distance.
Ironically, the Sharks were the victim of numerous poke checks from Turco and never seemed to learn.
"If you're on the bench and watching him, you should figure it out eventually," Sharks coach Todd McLellan said. "It's disappointing."
Not for the Stars, who needed the win to validate a strong overall performance.
"It's a big deal for us to come out with two points," Turco said. "We felt we've deserved it in other games, so we needed to get it in this one."

Breastfeeding has lots of health benefits for both moms and babies, some of which we're just beginning to discover. Many moms find it to be a rewarding experience that helps them bond with their child, while babies get the perfect first food to help them grow. Breastfeeding is less expensive than formula feeding, and gives babies immunities and "good" bacteria that can help protect them from illness.
Although it's the most natural thing in the world, breastfeeding is something that both moms and babies need to learn together. Most of the time this happens quickly and easily. Our breastfeeding techniques page will give you advice on different ways to position yourself and the baby. You can also get tips on expressing and storing milk, nutrition for nursing moms, and feeding frequency. Another great resource is our Lytle Center, where you can get help from our lactation specialists.
Of course, breastfeeding can have its challenges, and you'll want to read our problem-solving guide for help with troubleshooting.
To make an appointment with an outpatient lactation consultant, call:
Click the icon below to launch an interactive education video available in multiple languages.
We also offer breastfeeding support groups for moms who have questions about breastfeeding, want to check on baby's growth or are looking for support from other mothers but don't feel they need a one-on-one consultation. No pre-registration is required. Breastfeeding support groups are held at the following locations:

We woke up around 11 to do some sightseeing
The next morning we woke up to a bit more sightseeing before heading home
So Florence was my favorite city thus far and I haven't been here three weeks yet. It's scary to think me and Hayden are traveling for a full 3 weeks after the program. Next week we're heading to Prague, Munich, Vienna, and Budapest for our 10 day travel break. I don't even wanna know what that blog is going to say. It will be unreal though.
Just as always Florence was torn UP by myself, Hayden, and our newest member of the Bad Boyz Mike Plath. It's safe to say we pretty much own all of Northern Italy now. Everywhere we go gets torn up. I have yet to have a regret and I probably won't cuz that's not cool. Peeing your pants is though. Stay posted for the travel week blog......gon get rowdy.

By Ms. Maria Gallegos (Army Medicine)October 9, 2012
San Antonio Military Health System celebrated its one-year anniversary with a ceremony at San Antonio Military Medical Center Sept 14.
Air Force Maj. Gen. Byron Hepburn, commander of the 59th Medical Wing and director of SAMHS, and Army Maj. Gen. M. Ted Wong, commander of Brooke Army Medical Center and Southern Regional Medical Command and deputy director of SAMHS, hosted the event.
Hepburn and Wong welcomed the audience of military and community leaders, and both announced the successful accomplishments in military medicine as well as increased partnerships with the city of San Antonio.
They noted the successes of the past year, including the successful integration of 1,900 Airmen, Air Force Civilians and contractors into SAMMC, improved accessibility to patient-centered medical homes and enhanced secure email communication between providers and patients.
The health system employs 12,000 military and civilian employees with combined budgets of over $1.18 billion annually.
"Our Airmen are honored to serve side-by-side with their Army colleagues here at SAMMC, the DOD's only Level I trauma center in the U.S.," said Hepburn.
Under the new military health system, Airmen and civilian personnel were integrated with the Army at SAMMC on Sept. 15, 2011.
SAMHS provides oversight for the healthcare delivery to more than 240,000 Department of Defense beneficiaries in the San Antonio metropolitan region.
Healthcare services are provided by San Antonio Military Medical Center, Wilford Hall Ambulatory Surgical Center, 19 primary care clinics, and over 100 specialty services.
"The SAMHS fosters an opportunity for synergy, enabling BAMC and the 59th Medical Wing, in collaboration with healthcare partners, to make system-wide improvements that elevate our quality of care, and increase the efficiency in delivering healthcare," Wong said.
"We believe that all our active duty members, dependents, and retirees deserve the best possible care and I am excited about the opportunities our health system will afford our patients and the city of San Antonio in the years ahead," Hepburn said.
"Our patients will remain our top priority and our sole reason and purpose for our existence, as we provide high quality, safe and accessible care, while maintaining our patients' rust and confidence," Wong said.
According to its website, SAMHS is responsible for providing oversight of clinical, educational, and business operations for all military treatment facilities in the San Antonio areas.
The objective is to provide the highest quality of health improvement and healthcare services for the DOD beneficiary community, sustain the readiness skills of the medical force, support Graduate Medical Education and other education and training, and support basic and clinical biomedical research.

Cirrus Des Aigles turned in a masterclass from the front to gamely account for Olympic Glory in the Prix d'Ispahan at Longchamp.
In what was billed as a clash between the alleged big two, the Richard Hannon-trained Olympic Glory could finish only fourth under Frankie Dettori.
Cirrus Des Aigles had defeated Arc winner Treve on his last start, but this time made virtually every yard of the running in the hands of Christophe Soumillon.
The Corine Barande-Barbe-trained eight-year-old was pressed by the revitalised Anodin, but Soumillon had far too much class beneath him and eased home inside the final 100 yards.
Pollyana finished third, while Olympic Glory was hard at work a couple of furlongs from home on his first try over nine furlongs and folded meekly late on.

Michael Neely took the advice of one of his fellow competitors and used it to win the 20-lap Steam Masters Carpet Cleaning 20-lap Pro Buzz Friday night at Huntsville Speedway.
Neely kept his car glued to the bottom of the quarter-mile asphalt track and then held off Colby Guthrie and Steve Edger for his second win of the year.
"I've got to thank Steve Jones for telling me that I needed to keep the car on the bottom," Neely said. "Boy, that was really fun."
Daniel Hubbard put on a show in the Hot Shots 15-lapper by not only winning the race, but by climbing the 15-foot grandstand fence for the fifth time this season.
Each time Hubbard wins a race, he leaps out of his car and climbs the fence, but this week he added a new twist by flipping off the fence backwards. Hubbard's wife April finished fifth in the race.

I received an email stating that these were on backorder and that's the last I heart. These are the second item that I have been pretty much left in the dark about.

This book presents a comprehensive, objective clinical picture of the mental and physical developmental patterns of the first five years. It is almost entirely descriptive, portraying the behavior of normally developing children, with no attempt to theorize regarding behavior patterns.
This authoritative work from the Yale Clinic probably gives the most accurate picture of physical and intellectual growth which has appeared. Motor development, adaptive behavior, language development and personal-social behavior are described separately for the successive levels from four weeks to five years.
Like all of the books by Gesell and his associates, this book is written in a very direct style, the terminology is easily understood and it is interesting throughout. It should be read by every one working with children.

It is a good game, but it could definitely have been better. Doug eventually became too pain resistant and eventually had several IV's of blood running into him at all times. I've painted almost the entire wall red with Doug's blood. After level 10 where he starts coming twice, it gets ridiculous.
Rated 3.5 / 5 stars
Needs Upgrade that makes the hand slow down after 20 days it becomes impossible to predict. No Customers should give $0 that would make them no better then dog, they make the game become frusterating and not fun. Also doug takes too many hits to give up and the price gap between weapon upgrades is too large.

Nicole Richie and Brody Jenner ended their relationship Wednesday. "Nicole and Brody are no longer dating but remain friends," Richie's rep confirms to PEOPLE. Richie and Jenner had been dating since August, but have known each other since they were toddlers.
They began seeing each other just weeks after Jenner, 23, ended his year-and-a-half relationship with Laguna Beach star Kristin Cavallari, and months after Richie, 25, broke up with Adam "DJ AM" Goldstein (she and AM had ended their engagement in December but later reconciled, then split again in May).
In August, Jenner's mother, Linda Thompson, told PEOPLE, "They spend time together. I think they're very cute. Will they get married? Who knows. He's young, and so is she."
Added Richie's dad Lionel, "They grew up together. To see them together now is like, 'Where are you going with this?' But they're having a wonderful time."
And backstage at the MTV Video Music Awards on Aug. 31, Jenner told PEOPLE of his date, who'd presented an award, "I love Nicole. She's amazing. Amazing."
But after two months of hitting L.A.'s nightclubs and Malibu's eateries together, Richie and Jenner were each spotted out several times this past week without the other. They were last seen together on Thursday at the opening of the club AREA in West Hollywood. "They looked happy," said an onlooker. "They were kissing and cuddling."
A source close to Richie says that Jenner's interest in being in the spotlight was an issue. "Brody likes to go out a lot and doesn't mind being photographed," says the source, "but Nicole prefers to stay out of the press."
On Monday night, Jenner hit the L.A. hotspot Shag with The Hills stars Lauren "L.C." Conrad and Heidi Montag. "They were taking pictures together and dancing," a patron observed. "They all looked very friendly."
On Wednesday, Richie posted the following message on her MySpace.com page: "I know there are rumors regarding my 'breakup' with Brody Jenner. The truth is, we were never really together. We hung out, and he's a nice guy, but my heart was never in it. Anything further is just a cry for publicity."
Richie is due to begin filming the fifth season of The Simple Life later this month.

HARRISBURG - First, he retired Gus the Groundhog, the furry pitchman for the Pennsylvania Lottery. Now, Gov. Corbett wants to hire a private company to run the sixth largest lottery in the nation.
Corbett is expected to announce plans Monday to hire a private manager for the state's $3.2 billion lottery, according to sources familiar with the idea.
In what is being described as a preliminary step, Corbett is seeking a request for qualifications from companies interested in managing the lottery, which brought in nearly $1 billion in revenue last year, after prize winnings and expenses. Under federal law, the state may not sell the lottery outright, but it may contract out day-to-day management of the agency, which currently employs 230 people.


text: Regardless of how you look at it, Stunfisk and Vanilluxe at least have some lol factor, even if you hate them (you shouldn't). I can't say the same for Klink and Garbodor, who also have just as unpopular designs, but no lol factor. I personally don't mind either, but I question how good of an idea it was for Gamefreak to put them in the game. Did they not think that they were just going to get ripped on?

Initial tests for the system include Aptima assays for gonorrhea and chlamydia.[Stefan Rajewski-Fotolia.com]
Gen-Probe has been granted a CE mark for its automated molecular diagnostics system, Panther™. Tests initially available for use with Panther include the sexually transmitted infection assays, Aptima Combo 2®, Aptima CT (chlamydia), and Aptima GC (gonorrhea) assays. A number of other qualitative and quantitative assays are also in development, Gen-Probe notes. Panther will be launched immediately in Europe but has yet to be sanctioned by FDA for commercialization in the U.S., the firm adds.
Panther has been designed as a "sample-in-result-out" instrument that fully automates all aspects of nucleic acid testing for small- to medium-sized laboratories. Developed to build on the success of Gen-Probe's existing Tigris® system for large diagnostics laboratories, the Panther platform reportedly allows a single operator to process 275 samples in eight hours, with just one hour of hands-on time. For higher throughput the system is capable of processing 500 samples in 12 hours, Gen-Probe states.
Panther has been over three years in development, and European launch has been achieved a month ahead of schedule, remarks Carl Hull, Gen-Probe president and CEO. "We believe the Panther system will revolutionize molecular diagnostics by offering customers high levels of productivity and instrument flexibility that were once reserved for high-throughput clinical chemistry and immunoassay systems."

WILKES-BARRE (AP) - With lay-offs, salary freezes, student debt, and numerous other bills, adding wedding planning to the mix can drive anyone crazy. It certainly doesn't help that vendors tend to double their prices when they hear the word "wedding."
When my partner and I decided to get married we were determined to pay for the wedding ourselves with minimal help from our parents. About two months into the planning, we realized what an overwhelming task we'd undertaken. We have no credit cards. Our student debt is steep. Our bills are surmounting. Yet, we had to find a way to pay for our wedding (in cash, no less). That's when we started seeing how important our budget - and sticking to it - really was.
Despite the stress-inducing numbers and research, you can afford to have the wedding you want. It can also be (relatively) stress-free. Here are a few guidelines to get you started on planning your wedding in a recession:
Plan ahead, and stick to your plan. If you're in a similar position to my partner and me, loans and credit cards are not an option for you. And really, do you want to go into debt for one day of celebrations? The most important thing you can do is plan early. Before you start picking out your dream vendors, create a budget. Look at your finances and figure out how much you can save between now and your wedding date. There's no point in falling in love with a $3,000 wedding gown when you crunch the numbers and realize you can only afford $600. After you know what you and your partner can afford, talk to both of your parents. See if they want to contribute, and how much. The money talk is hard, especially if you aren't close with your future in-laws, but it's necessary early in the planning. Once you know how much you can spend, you can allocate your funds accordingly.
Prioritize the aspects of your wedding. Everyone wants their David Tutera-style wedding, with everything coordinated and matching, but few of us have a David Tutera budget. Sit down with your partner and discuss the most important aspects of your wedding. The items at the top of your list should take financial priority.
If you have a large family that you can't imagine not being at your wedding, then make sure you allocate enough of your budget to accommodate them. If you'd like to have chair covers, but they aren't essential to your vision, leave them off the list unless you have money left over. (Chair cover rentals in NEPA tend to run between $1 and $2 per chair. If you have a 150-person guest list, be prepared to spend up to $300 on chair covers alone.)
Remember that most of your expenses may seem small at first ($2 per person to upgrade from white wine to champagne toast), but once they are multiplied by the number you need or the number of guests, the cost may not be worth it to you.
Consider DIY projects. Most brides are shocked when I tell them how easy and cheap making your own wedding pieces can be. The most important part of deciding DIY projects is weighing and comparing the cost of finding a vendor to doing it yourself. Cost does not mean simply money. Take into consideration the time and effort needed to make things yourself versus the ease of using a vendor. For example, cake pop bouquet centerpieces cost approximately $15 to $25 per table.
With the right planning, making the centerpieces could cost you as little as $3 per table. However, you have to keep in mind the time to bake all the cake pops, decorate them, and put together the centerpieces yourself. Only you and your partner can determine which DIY projects are worth the energy to you, and which make more sense to purchase from a vendor.
Don't forget your friendors. Friendors are your friends who are vendors. Often times you will know someone who can provide a service to you for a discount or as a wedding gift.
Like DIY projects, you have to consider the ramifications of using friendors. Sometimes they work out fantastic and you get exactly what you wanted for a price you can afford. But other times working with a friendor can cause more stress than it's worth and put a strain on your friendship.
Again, weigh the "cost" of using a friendor versus the cost of finding an outside vendor.
Very often, the choice will come down to the dynamic of your relationship with the friendor and mutual trust.
Be honest with yourself. This advice was given to me by a fellow bridal consultant, and it couldn't be more helpful. You have to be honest with yourself and with your partner. You need to have realistic expectations for your budget.
You need to have honest expectations of your own abilities for DIY projects. You need to be aware of how much time you have and what sacrifices you will have to make (financially, personally, wedding-related) to make your budget wedding a success.

Thats shocking. Micoshaft overcharging its finance sector customers
to keep itself alive. Thats probably what caused the black hole
in all their budgets. I guess all the other smaller banks switching

Unable to compete and too late to switch, they are taken down like

BIM Guide 07 - Building Elements
GSA is currently encouraging, documenting, and evaluating the potential for BIM to assist with developing building element requirements on a project-by-project need basis.
BIM Guide 07 will extend all the previous BIM guide programs by collecting and integrating requirements for building elements used in BIMs created for these focus areas. For example, where BIM Guide 02 focused on information requirements for spaces, the spaces are surrounded by building elements like walls, doors, windows, floors and ceilings. BIM Guide 07 will collect requirements for these object types and integrate them with requirements from BIM Guides 03, 04, 05, 06, and 08 so that a single uniform set of properties can be used for any of the target analyses (i.e. spatial program validation, construction sequencing, thermal performance, and courts design).

Major League Baseball notes: Injury hurts U.S. team in tie with Sox
GLENDALE, Ariz. -- The U.S. team played to a 4-4 tie with the Chicago White Sox on Tuesday in the first of its two exhibition games leading up to the start of the World Baseball Classic.
It was still a losing afternoon for the Americans.
First baseman Mark Teixeira will miss the tournament after straining his right forearm while swinging in the batting cage before the game. Yankees manager Joe Girardi said in Tampa, Fla., that X-rays on Teixeira's hand and wrist area came back negative.
It was unclear who would replace him on the U.S. team.
Giancarlo Stanton drove in three runs and Ryan Braun went 3-for-4 for the U.S., which opens pool play Friday night against Mexico.
Gordon Beckham went 3-for-3 with an RBI for the White Sox.
- Pirates 10, Spain 0: At Bradenton, Fla., Gaby Sanchez went 3-for-3 with a double, home run and two RBIs, leading Pittsburgh to a 10-0 rout of Spain's World Baseball Classic team.
Rhiner Cruz, a Houston Astros reliever and one of just two players with major league experience on the Spanish roster, allowed three runs in one inning.
The right-handed hitting Sanchez likely will platoon at first base with Garrett Jones this season but played third base against Spain.
Gerrit Cole started and struck out six in three innings as he combined with four relievers on a five-hitter. He allowed two hits and one walk.
Darren Ford and Anderson Hernandez had two hits each for Pittsburgh.
- Indians 4, Giants 3: At Scottsdale, Ariz., Nick Swisher hit one of three Cleveland home runs, Daisuke Matuzaka pitched three scoreless innings and Cleveland beat San Francisco.
Brandon Crawford hit a two-run homer for the Giants. Brandon Belt also hit a homered.
Swisher hit his second home run of the spring and is now hitting .500.
Matuzaka allowed five hits and struck out two.
Roberto Perez hit a home run in the top of the ninth to give Cleveland a 4-3 lead. Juan Diaz also homered for the Indians.
- Major League Baseball intends to expand the use of instant replay for the 2014 season, and will be studying which calls to review and how to do it over the course of this year.
- St. Louis Cardinals shortstop Rafael Furcal is getting a second opinion on the ailing elbow that is keeping him out indefinitely. Furcal, 35, will be examined today by Dr. James Andrews.
The Cardinals have Pete Kozma and offseason pickup Ronny Cedeno at shortstop.
