Beer Faucet - A device attached to a beer tower or beer shank through which beer is poured into a glass (point of dispense). An American style faucet is opened or closed in a quick one step pull to allow the beer to flow or a push to stop the flow of the beer. European faucets often have a flow control knob for adjusting the flow rate of the beer at the faucet. The faucet is sometimes referred to as a tap or a spigot.
Beer Line/Tubing/Hose - Used to connect the keg coupler to the faucet. Comes in a variety of materials, colors and sizes. Materials might be stainless steel, vinyl, polyethylene or barrier. Vinyl line is often used in jockey boxes, or direct draw systems. Stainless Steel is often used in Draft Towers or in Special Event Coolers. Barrier and polyethylene is often used in glycol systems.
CO2 Volume – A term used by Brewers to measure the amount of CO 2 (Carbon Dioxide) dissolved into each beer. In a Brewer's recipe, there is a specification for the CO2 volumes. The CO2 volume in a beer determines the amount of CO2 that needs to be applied to the keg in order to maintain the characteristics of the beer. CO2 Cylinder - A tank used to hold CO2 in liquid form. Usually made from steel or aluminum. The cylinders come in a variety of sizes ranging from 2.5 lbs to 50 lbs. The cylinder should be secured at all times, and installed in an up right position. Laying the cylinder on its side while connected to the regulator could damage the regulator. Whether the cylinder is small or large, the internal pressure of the unit is approximately 800 lbs at room temperature, and so the cylinder should not be allowed to roll around or stand freely. Caution - Damage to a cylinder valve or cylinder may result in a serious injury or death. In the event the CO2 is released into the room, the room should be vented to allow fresh air to enter. Back to Index
Draft Font- See Draft Tower.
Drip Tray- A catch basin placed below a faucet to capture spilled beer. Drip Trays are available in a variety of shapes and sizes and are made from a variety of materials such as stainless steel, brass and plastic. Metal drip trays can have a polished or brushed finish. It is recommended to connect the Drip Tray to a drain system.
Draught Beer - See Draft Beer
Draft Beer - Beer in a keg, and dispensed through a faucet rather than in a bottle or can. The beer can be pasteurized or non-pasteurized, but should always be stored at and served at a Brewer's recommended temperature to ensure maximum drinking pleasure.
Draft Tower- Also referred to as a Standard or a Font. This is the unit on the top of the bar or the kegerator holding the faucet in place (the point of dispense). Inside the tower are the beer lines and in some cases the glycol cooling lines. Towers can come in a variety of shapes and sizes, and can hold as few or as many faucets as desired. Towers may be made from a variety of materials such as brass or stainless steel. Some may have an LCD screen built into them like the Micro Matic vPOD.
Faucet Handle - Also known as a knob, tap knob, tap marker or tap handle. This is the part of the faucet pulled or pushed to open and close the faucet. Handles are made in a wide variety of materials and come in an even wider variety of shapes and sizes from breweries, equipment suppliers, and craftsmen. The Beer Faucet Handle is usually imprinted with the brand logo of the beer being dispensed from the beer dispensing system.
Flow Rate - The rate at which the beer pours through the opened faucet of a beer dispensing system. The ideal flow rate for most beers is 2 ounces per second, 120 ounces per minute, nearly one gallon of beer per minute. The flow rate is influenced by the pressure applied to the keg, and by the amount of restriction built into the beer lines and hardware used in the beer dispensing system.
Gas Blender - A device used to mix gases together to push the beer from the keg without over or under pressurizing the beer in the keg. Beer industry standards specify blending CO2 and Nitrogen together. Recommended blenders are preset at the factory and require no adjustments. Gas Blenders are recommended for high volume accounts, as well as, accounts where temperature fluctuations are common, and there is a need for a high amount of pressure to push the beer from the keg to the faucet.
Gas Line/Tubing/Hose - Used to connect the primary regulator to the secondary regulator, the blender, or the CO2 inlet of the keg coupler. Gas line is available in a variety of materials such as vinyl or braided vinyl, with a selection of colors and sizes. Red is usually used for lines with less than 50 lbs of pressure. Braided line is used for systems that require more than 50 lbs of applied pressure.
Ideal Gauge Pressure - The Ideal Gauge Pressure for any beer is the applied gas pressure matching the amount of CO2 in the beer. Some of the variables affecting the Ideal Gauge Pressure are elevation (atmospheric pressure), temperature, CO2 volume and the system operating pressure.
For example - A traditional American beer (2.6 CO 2 Volumes) at 38° F would normally have an Ideal Gauge Pressure between 13 and 14 lbs when stored in a kegerator at an elevation of sea level.
Jockey Box - This is a picnic cooler/ice chest converted to a beer dispenser using either a cold plate or a stainless steel coil to chill the beer. If using a cold plate, the plate should be tilted, and the box should be continuously drained of water. If using a coil, a mixture of ice and water must completely cover the coils in the cooler. In either case, beer should be run through the system prior to adding the ice to prevent a freeze up inside the coil. Cubed ice should be used in this type of box, and the CO2 regulator should be set between 30 and 40 lbs of applied pressure.
Keg Tap - See Keg Coupler
Keg Coupler -This device connects the gas line and the beer line to the keg. The keg coupler is also the device opening the valve in the keg allowing the beer out, and the gas in. Most domestic brewers use the "D" system keg coupler.
Kegerator – A direct draw dispensing system consisting of a self contained thermostatically controlled refrigeration unit in which a single keg of beer is stored at the optimum temperature 38° F. The unit is equipped with beer dispensing hardware allowing a glass of beer to be properly poured from a faucet located on the outside of the unit. These units are available for purchase commercially and for home use. Also referred to as a keg box.
Kegerator Conversion Kit - A complete set of items needed for a do it yourself person to change a refrigerator into a kegerator. A standard kit will include; a single gauge regulator, gas line with clamps, beer line, door spacer, beer faucet with shank, drip tray assembly, faucet wrench, keg coupler and instructions. Additional items needed include a CO2 cylinder and a cleaning kit.
Line Cleaning - The process used to remove foreign objects and containments from a beer line (including the keg coupler and faucet). No matter how long the line is, or how much beer is poured through the line, the line should be properly flushed, cleaned with an approved beer line cleaning chemical, and totally rinsed at least every two weeks. The best process for cleaning a beer line is one providing a turbulent action, which enables the cleaning solution to have greater impact throughout the line. Once the cleaning solution has been drained from the system, the line should be thoroughly rinsed with fresh water to ensure no chemicals remain in the line that could injure a beer drinker. Flushing the line out with beer is not considered to be a suitable rinse.
Line Cleaning Kit - The complete set of tools and chemicals used to clean a beer system. The chemicals might include a line cleaner or sanitizer; the tools may include a faucet brush for scrubbing out the faucet, faucet wrench for removing the faucet, and instructions. The best kits contain an electric motor driven pump for circulating the cleaning solution. Other types of cleaning kits might contain a cleaning bottle or tank for holding the cleaning solution to be pumped either by hand or by gas through the beer system. The instructions for using the line cleaning chemicals should be followed carefully, as cleaners can be toxic and can cause injury or death.
Nitrogen Generator - An on-site device used to produce Nitrogen gas by filtering the Nitrogen from the air. Used in high volume accounts to reduce costs associated with refilling Nitrogen tanks, and where changing tanks can be a burden.
Party Pump - A device found at a celebration or special event where draft beer is served for a limited time. It is a self-contained device used on a keg to push the beer from the keg to the beer cup without the use of CO2. When using a party pump you should remember to keep the beer cold because as the beer warms up, foaming will increase. The beer should be consumed in 8 to 12 hours in order to avoid contamination.
Primary Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Regulator - The Primary CO 2 Regulator attaches to the gas source, a bottle or bulk tank and is used to decrease the tanks high gas pressure to a lower pressure. A primary regulator may be adjusted to the ideal gauge pressure and connected by gas line directly a keg coupler, or it may be installed to provide gas pressure to the Secondary CO 2 Regulator(s). Utilizes a female connector in order to connect to the gas source.
Primary Nitrogen (N) Regulator - Similar to a CO2 Primary Regulator but used for Nitrogen gas. Utilizes a male connector to connect to the source of the Nitrogen.
Restriction - The resistance beer encounters as it flows from a keg, through the tap, beer line and other hardware designed into a beer dispensing system. A beer system is considered to be in balance when Applied Pressure equals the Restriction and results in a Flow Rate of approximately one gallon of beer per minute. Restriction in a beer system comes from the type of beer line used and the size and length of that line, the gravity (lift or drop) in the system, the altitude at which the beer is dispensed, and the components used in the beer system. Sometimes referred to as resistance or hold back.

|Jeffs' accuser hopes for another chance in court
Reported by: Brent Hunsaker
ABC 4 News
SALT LAKE CITY (ABC 4 News) - Nearly four years after his capture outside of Las Vegas and four years of bouncing between jails and prison, Warren Jeffs now stands convicted of ... nothing. The charges in Arizona: all dropped. The charges in Texas: pending extradition. And the convictions in Utah: overturned.
Elissa Wall, the chief accuser in the Utah case against Warren Jeffs is in shock. In talking to reporters after the Utah Supreme Court decision, her words were strong, but the voice was shaky and she seems unsure about what comes next. "I still am in shock understanding that there's a huge possibility that we could do this all over again. And more than anything that Warren Jeffs is going to possibly walk away. That's painful."
In the fall of 2007, her voice was filled with emotion as she related before the court the trauma Jeffs caused by forcing her into a marriage at age 14. "This was the darkest time of my entire life," she testified. "This is very hard for me to relate." It was especially hard to face Warren Jeffs who she once believed was God's own prophet. She remembered, "Right at the beginning of the trial, he looked at me with his death stare. I was sitting there because I had chosen to stand up against Warren and stand up against the injustice in my life and hold him accountable."
Now the Utah Supreme Court has overturned the 2007 conviction of Warren Jeffs. It found that the trial judge gave a bad instruction to the jury prior to their deliberations. The justices ordered a new trial, but ultimately that decision will be made by the Washington County attorney. He can start over, or drop the charges.
If Elissa Wall is asked, she will tell them she's ready to go it again. "I want to see justice served," she said. "The truth remains the same. Wrongs have been done and justice has not been served."

2005 GMC Yukon C1500 Brakes, Belt & Differential Repair
Yes I am one of those that take my 2005 GMC Yukon C1500 to a quick lube place for its oil changes, but after they gave me the laundry list of recommendations to change all my fluids from coolant, transmission, power steering to differential I knew I needed to take it to Mike's Auto Repair Huntington beach to get the straight answer.
I have been a customer of Mike's Auto Repair for many years for all my major repair work on My GMC Yukon C1500. I have trusted Mike and his ASE certified technicians not only with my Yukon, but other family vehicles too. They inspected my GMC Yukon and concurred that the differential fluid was dirty, but also found it to be leaking. Mike's tech noted the fluids would eventually need to be changed, but at this time felt they were all in good condition for my upcoming trip. Importantly, what I realized is the quick lube place never documented or shared with me the condition of my brakes or belts and both ended up to be a concern. The pads were extremely low and rotors undersized and the belts measured under specifications. Not good for a long trip.
Mike's Auto Repair took care of my front and rear brake repair, performed a differential service and sealed the leak and replaced all of my drive belts on my 2005 GMC Yukon X C1500 completely done before the 4th of July! Angela E. Huntington Beach, CA

But when the topic turned to the continuing Peace Bridge controversy, his ebullient mood dissolved. In fact, he seemed downright disgusted that he must invest so much time, effort and political capital into a situation that he says has changed little over two decades.
"The Peace Bridge is a metaphor to me for an overall failure of economic development for the region," he said. "You can't allow projects like this to linger for 20 years.
"It would have great potential for the entire region, and that potential has been squandered," he continued. "It's really remarkable, when you think about it."
And remarkable, too, the extent to which the governor is attacking this situation. Make no mistake about it – Cuomo is marshaling all of his considerable political strength to accomplish at the bridge in the immediate future what has eluded every other local and statewide pol for 20 years.
Already, his troops are taking their positions.
Perhaps most notably, Tony Masiello joins the New York contingent to the Peace Bridge Authority. Now an Albany lobbyist, the former mayor remains a close Cuomo ally in Western New York.
Recall that when Cuomo insiders pronounced the Erie County Democratic Party in disarray last year, he first turned to Masiello to replace outgoing Chairman Len Lenihan.
For a while, Masiello resurrected his old campaign skills and sought the job. For a host of reasons, however, it did not happen. Still, he embarked down that path at the strong "request" of the governor, and it's a sure bet Cuomo's team used the same persuasive tactics this time.
Other signs include recent letters to the editor about the Peace Bridge. Lt. Gov. Bob Duffy took aim at a story in The Buffalo News about the governor's tactics and lauded the efforts of his boss. Then Paul Ciminelli – a board member of Cuomo's Empire State Development Corp. – praised his efforts to "move this process forward swiftly and fairly."
On the legislative side, Cuomo found sympathy from two friendly Republican senators – George Maziarz of Newfane and Mark Grisanti of Buffalo. They called for the binational authority to be abolished and absorbed by the Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority. They were joined by Democrat Sean Ryan, successor to Cuomo guy Sam Hoyt in the Assembly.
Meanwhile, Howard Zemsky – Cuomo's economic development point man in Western New York – told Channel 2 News that the NFTA he heads is poised to take on bridge functions should the Peace Bridge Authority be dissolved as Cuomo supporters propose.
Empire State Development even has hired former Channel 2 reporter Pete Gallivan to handle Peace Bridge and other public affairs matters in Western New York. And let no one forget that Hoyt – the chief New York representative to the Peace Bridge Authority – has proven one of Cuomo's most loyal supporters in Western New York for many years.
When Cuomo speaks, his supporters snap to attention.
Just about any Western New Yorker who has followed the Peace Bridge saga for the past quarter-century may very well agree with the governor's view of the span as a symbol of dysfunction – even if the authority has noted much progress in its own way.
But no matter how mightily his local troops rally, Cuomo's message still has not resonated across the Niagara River. Canadians, who comprise half of the Peace Bridge Authority and whose votes are needed for anything to happen, remain not only unimpressed, but insulted.
"These efforts are all done in exchange for a headline," authority Chairman Anthony Annunziata – a Canadian – said after Cuomo's visit to Buffalo last week. "All he wants is to be able to say he did it."
That's where the dispute now lies. And for the near future, that's where it appears it will stay.

Neturei Karta: What is it?
E-Mail This to a Friend
Posted: December 14, 2006
The black-garbed Jews who appear in support of anti-Israel and even anti-Semitic events are known as "Neturei Karta." This miniscule group on the farthest fringes of Judaism advocates the "dismantling" of the State of Israel until their messiah comes. Members of Neturei Karta have a long record of extremist statements and support for anti-Semites and Islamic extremists, including President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad of Iran, who has called for the destruction of Israel.
What does Neturei Karta mean?
What does Neturei Karta mean?
Neturei Karta (pronounced ne-TOO-ray KAHR-tuh) is Aramaic and means Guardians of the City. The phrase in its original context refers to the holy men and scholars in whose merit it was believed that God protected Jewish enclaves. The contemporary Neturei Karta movement adopted the name in order to stress its belief that only spiritual growth, prayer, Torah study and acts of kindness are permissible means of advancing Jewish interests.
What are Neturei Karta beliefs?
What are Neturei Karta beliefs?
Neturei Karta is founded on the idea that Zionism is a demonic force responsible for many of the world's evils. Their spokesmen routinely call for the dismantling of the State of Israel and the empowerment of the Palestinians who would then decide whether to allow any Jews to remain in their new state. Neturei Karta adherents believe that a promised messianic age cannot begin until Zionism is eliminated from the Middle East.
What is the Neturei Karta's internal structure, and how many Neturei Karta are there?
What is the Neturei Karta's internal structure, and how many Neturei Karta are there?
On one level, Neturei Karta is an ideological movement at the farthest fringes of Orthodox Judaism; it is not a formal organization. A number of Neturei Karta activists, however, have joined together to form an organization called Neturei Karta International, which runs two Web sites. There are probably fewer than 100 actual Neturei Karta activists (the ones carrying placards and speaking at anti-Israel rallies), but the total number of people who would identify themselves as Neturei Karta in New York, England and Israel could be as many as a few thousand. Neturei Karta members often claim that tens or even hundreds of thousands of ultra-Orthodox Jews and Hassidim share their beliefs, but this is patently false.
Although there are segments of the ultra-Orthodox Jewish community and some Hassidic Jews who do not embrace Zionism (which they view as a secularist and godless movement) and in the early 1900s opposed on theological grounds the creation of a Jewish state, these movements are sufficiently pragmatic to permit their members who live in Israel to pay taxes, use social services, vote and even form their own political parties. By contrast, Neturei Karta adherents who live in Israel do not vote, do not accept any government assistance, and reportedly even refuse to use Israeli passports. Some ultra-Orthodox, who may not be conversant with these distinctions, might support Neturei Karta just because they appear to be pious men expressing opposition to Zionism.
How are Neturei Karta activists funded?
How are Neturei Karta activists funded?
It has been assumed that Neturei Karta obtains funding from Arab groups and possibly even Arab governments (in the past they have had cordial relations with Yemen and Iran). The Israeli newspaper
reported that the Israel Defense Forces had obtained documents indicating that former Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat supplied Neturei Karta with more than $50,000 in late 2002.
What characteristics does the Neturei Karta share with other extremist groups and ideologies?
What characteristics does the Neturei Karta share with other extremist groups and ideologies?
Neturei Karta activists are quick to endorse anyone who opposes Zionism, and have publicly embraced such groups and movements as
, a grass-roots organization that advocates on behalf of the Palestinian cause, the anti-war protest group ANSWER, the virulently anti-Semitic Nation of Islam,
Willis Carto
and his Holocaust-denying Barnes Review Conference. In turn, these groups showcase Neturei Karta's approval as a way of justifying or disguising their own anti-Semitism.
Characteristic Neturei Karta claims
Characteristic Neturei Karta claims
Neturei Karta has developed several conspiracy theories to explain the success of Zionism and its own lack of influence; these theories often echo the slanders emanating from radical Islamic groups and New World Order conspiracists. The movement is also very conservative on social issues, and quick to blame Zionists for the moral decline it perceives in modern society. It claims that:
Zionists control the United States and other Western countries.
Zionists control the media.
Zionists are intent on flooding Western society with immorality, pornography, greed, and abortion, and on stripping all vestiges of godliness from public life.
Zionists have purposely cultivated anti-Semitism throughout the world by issuing statements that non-Jews would find inflammatory and by staging fake acts of anti-Semitic violence as a means of inducing Jews to immigrate to Israel. The most extreme example of this is the claim that Zionists were complicit in the Holocaust in order to force Jews to flee from Europe to Palestine. Neturei Karta propaganda alleges that Zionists intentionally infuriated the German people and fanned the flames of Nazi hatred, and they helped the Nazis, with trickery and deceit, to take whole Jewish communities off to the concentration camps.
The Holocaust was justified as a divine punishment for the sin of Zionism.
Zionists have used the Holocaust to milk European governments of millions in reparations, and have used the Holocaust to humiliate non-Jews.
Zionists are the cause of the instability in the Middle East. Neturei Karta claims that Jews and Arabs coexisted peacefully in Palestine prior to Zionism; it characterizes the 1929 Hebron massacre (in which 67 Jews were killed and the remainder fled the city) as an understandable Arab reaction to Zionist provocation.
Zionists have strategically and consciously sought to destroy the Palestinian people since before the State of Israel was created, have sadistically inflicted humiliation, torture and death on the Palestinian population, and continue to engage in ethnic cleansing of Israeli and occupied lands.

Operation Flashpoint: Red River
if possable some max xp or unlock kit stuff would be nice but dont look easy as i havent seen anywhere that tell you amount of xp
Hey man, the secret is do missions right and you`ll get lot of xp. i mean dont die, get all side missions and keep your team alive, in the game dont rush. on the last mission for example i had 70000 xp ( 4 level up) , try that. good luck
Thanks in Advance.
Since the game isn't officially out in the U.S. yet for another month or so June 7th is the release date here. Is it possible to have a No Recoil and Perfect aim option added to the trainer?

Hi David, > I'm trying to sort some concatenated strings in a dropdown box in my > XSL. (I'm also sure there's a more compact way to write my XSL, > frankly). My XML is: > > <root sub_id="84"> > <folder name="c" cdate="2/13/01" id="f_49"> > <folder name="m" cdate="2/13/01" id="f_42" /> > </folder> > <folder name="y" cdate="2/13/01" id="f_45" /> > <folder name="d" cdate="2/13/01" id="f_43" /> > <folder name="r" cdate="2/13/01" id="f_44" /> > <folder name="d" cdate="2/13/01" id="f_49"> > <folder name="t" cdate="2/13/01" id="f_42"> > <folder name="z" cdate="2/13/01" id="f_42"> > </folder> > </folder> > </root> > > I want my output to look alphabetical like the following: > > -c > --c:m > -d > --d:t > ---d:t:z > -r > -y There are two issues here - the alphabetical ordering and getting the right number of dashes before each of the folder names in the hierarchy. Let's work on the template for each folder first. For each folder, you want a dash if it's first level (has only one ancestor element), two dashes if it's second level (has two ancestor elements), three if it's third level and so on. If you iterate over each of the ancestor elements and add a dash each time, then you'll get the number of dashes you need (a lot quicker and more extensible than counting them and then adding the number you're after): <xsl:for-each select="ancestor::*">-</xsl:for-each> Then, you want the name of each folder ancestor, and the name of the folder itself, separated by colons. You can get this by iterating over each of the folder ancestors and adding their name, then a colon, and finally adding the name of the current folder: <xsl:for-each select="ancestor::folder"> <xsl:value-of select="@name" />:<xsl:text /> </xsl:for-each> <xsl:value-of select="@name" /> Or by iterating over each of the folder ancestors and the current folder, and not adding a colon for the last folder (the current one): <xsl:for-each select="ancestor-or-self::folder"> <xsl:value-of select="@name" /> <xsl:if test="position() != last()">:</xsl:if> </xsl:for-each> Putting that together with the other things you had in your template, you get: <xsl:template match="folder"> <option value="{@id}"> <xsl:for-each select="ancestor::*">-</xsl:for-each> <xsl:for-each select="ancestor::folder"> <xsl:value-of select="@name" />:<xsl:text /> </xsl:for-each> <xsl:value-of select="@name" /> </option> <xsl:apply-templates /> </xsl:template> Now, to sort the folders correctly, you have to apply templates to them in the right order. That involves the xsl:sort instruction embedded within the xsl:apply-templates. <xsl:apply-templates> <xsl:sort select="@name" /> </xsl:apply-templates> You need that both when you originally apply templates within the root-matching template and when you apply templates within the folder-matching template: <xsl:template match="root"> <xsl:apply-templates> <xsl:sort select="@name" /> </xsl:apply-templates> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="folder"> <option value="{@id}"> <xsl:for-each select="ancestor::*">-</xsl:for-each> <xsl:for-each select="ancestor::folder"> <xsl:value-of select="@name" />:<xsl:text /> </xsl:for-each> <xsl:value-of select="@name" /> </option> <xsl:apply-templates> <xsl:sort select="@name" /> </xsl:apply-templates> </xsl:template> A final thing. I notice that in your source you have two folders named 'd' but in your output, you have only one option. I'm not sure how you want them to be combined, especially if they have different subfolders, but if you do want to merge the two, then you might want to look at information on Muenchian grouping e.g. at http://www.jenitennison.com/xslt/grouping/muenchian.html.

Reporting to the principal's office is usually something people don't like to hear.
But that's exactly what more than 30 leaders in the community, business and the arts did yesterday in Jersey City, becoming principal for a day in schools across the city.
The principals included state Sen. Sandra Cunningham and Assemblyman Charles Mainor, and ran the gamut from employees of PSE&G, banks, the Jersey City Free Public Library and The Jersey Journal.
"It's a way to get the community to see the school in a different light," said Vincent Castro, assistant principal of School 3 on Bright Street.
The role of the principal is an "awesome responsibility," Castro said as he strolled the hallways of his Downtown school with his guest principal, Shana Cohen, an employee of SILVERMAN, a local developer.
SILVERMAN, developer of the Majestic Theatre Condominiums and Hamilton Square Condominiums, and the Hudson County Chamber of Commerce recruited the guest principals.
Paul Silverman, who runs the company with brother Eric, was a guest principal last year. This year he was promoted to schools superintendent for the day.
Susan Firth, director of community relations for SILVERMAN, was guest principal at School 4 on Bright Street. She shadowed Principal Joanna Veloz.
"They (guest principals) get to see the many challenges and rewards we face every day," Veloz said during a walk-through of the 825-student school.
Down the street at the Bright Street Academy, Principal Reed Leibfried was accompanied by Melissa Surach, a member of the People's Improv Theater in New York and a freelance writer who attended schools in Jersey City and Hoboken before graduating high school in New York.
A teacher of comedy writing, Surach said she was looking forward to picking up some pointers to improve her teaching technique.
"Principals are expected to do everything," Leibfried said, adding that one of the most important parts of his job is assisting and coaching his teachers to do their jobs better.
"Instructional leadership equals student achievement," he said.


text: From October 1st, we have been living on High Street at 1608 right across the street from Textron. What I am wondering is who's responsibility is it to make sure that the snow is cleared out, because as I see it today, there is no concern for our safety at all! Now my question, after talking to streets and parks, is it River Valley Transit's responsibility? I have been handicapped since 1996, with MS and if someone could make it easier on us by giving us the answer?

Recently I had the good fortune to do some testing on an Amber Road. More officially known as the Sun Storage 7410 Unified Storage System.
The machine had 64 GB of internal memory and two quad core CPUs. A single JBOD holding 24 disks, of which one was a SSD optimized for write access (a writezilla.) The other 23 disks were "normal" 7200 RPM disks of one TB each. For connectivity some of the four gigabit NICs were used.
Besides the above mentioned SSD, this system also had two other SSDs optimized for reading (a readzilla.)
This appliance used ZFS as a file system. The writezilla was used to hold the ZFS intent log. The readzilla's were used as a level 2 ZFS (L2ARC) file system cache.
For more technical information about this product please check the website at:
The original trigger to execute these tests was a remark from an ISV that they had problems with applications using their Amber Road while an rsync was creating a backup of their email archive(s) on a Linux box to a volume on their appliance.
And indeed the throughput numbers we received were indeed not what we expected.
In order to get a better understanding a 7410 was setup together with some load generating equipment in one of our labs. The ISV was able to send us a copy of a part of their email archive we could use for testing. The Amber Road was configured in a comparable way to the one at the ISV location. The initial tests were indeed below expectations. The quest to find the bottleneck began.
There were quite a few elements that were "unknown" to me one of which were the internals of the Amber Road, including the hardware and the software (operating system, ZFS pool and file system, network interfaces , etc.)
The NICs, were they somehow dependent on each other? How much traffic can a single NIC handle? In throughput, but also in the number of packets?
The volume(s) in the Amber Road were used with NFS over gigabit ethernet. The Linux box was used to simulate the mail machine. Could this one handle the load required? The Linux volume manager was used. Using ext3 as a file system. Could this one deliver the load required? The tool used to make the backup, rsync, was this one able to drive all the resources?
I started with the front end: the Linux box. Especially the volume manager. Using
find -print | cpio -oc >/dev/null
as a way to simulate the reading part. I had a second machine on which Solaris 10 was installed. Exactly the same hardware as the Linux box. And of course couldn't resist to do the same reading tests on this one. I was not impressed with the load that could be generated from a couple of internal disks. Fortunately I had a couple of disk arrays "lying around".
I used a Sun StorageTek 6140 array holding 12 spindles spinning at 15K rpm. The array has a gigabyte of cache and two controllers.
The result of the above command:
1: 6140 Linux lvm (2 6140 volumes): 33 min
2: 6140 Solaris UFS on 2 6140 Disk Suite volume: 16 min
3: 6140 Linux nolvm (1 6140 volume): 34 min
4: 6140 Linux nolvm (4 6140 vols in parallel): 24 min
Tests 1 and 2 are performed with the same 6140 configuration. Same hardware. Different OS-es and volume managers. To check the Linux result I used half the disk capacity in the array (test 3) without lvm and 4 volumes without lvm (test 4). This last one had one volume mounted under /data1, the second volume on /data2, etc. To parallellize multiple find /dataX -print | cpio -o >/dev/null sessions were done on each file system in parallel.
After this result we decided to look into the other elements of the black box using Solaris only. Just to ensure we could generate load once we started testing the Amber Road.
The next part to check was the Amber Road network. Or better, how much load can the Amber Road NICs sustain. A single volume on the Amber Road was NFS mounted with the following options:
rw,vers=3,rsize=8192,wsize=8192,soft,intr,proto=tc p,timeo=600,retrans=2,sec=sys
Since the rsync backup includes many file system operations (read, write, stat, etc) and is optimized to not write a file to backup if the file in question happens to reside on the backup volume already I changed the rsync use to a sequence of 'find ... cpio' ran in parallel. Each find command (see above) used its own private mail archive. After some analysis it was clear NFS was not a bottleneck. Using the analytics from the Amber Road the following screen dump shows the three NICs used were all running close to the theoretical speed of gigabit ethernet. In total "pumping" 300MB/sec look perfect to me, when using three interfaces. Each interface handling close to 15,000 NFSOPS/sec.
With these results I concluded that both client and network are running fine. I needed to focus on the 7410 now. I had 24 disks in this appliance. The GUI was not my favorite tool in order to look at the disk utilization and other statistics. Now I must admit, that I am in this business for quite some years. Still prefer the command line. Although it might be good to understand that the punch cards period was even before my time.....
The ISV remark included a statement about other applications suffering when a rsync was running. The rsync themselves also took a remarkable long time. This would translate to an average of 50MB/sec transfer rate.
I changed the approach a little bit. I first checked what could be seen as reasonable for the Amber Road. Fortunately there is a load generating tool called vdbench available. This open source tool can be downloaded from http://sourceforge.net/projects/vdbench. It has many possibilities. One of these is a simulation of file system tests. For this it creates a directory structure with as many files as specified. This is all done with a parameter file. Here is one example, for a pure read only test:
fsd=fsd1,anchor=/data_remote/test,depth=2,width=8,files=10000,sizes=(8k,60,32k, 25,512k,10,4m,5)
fwd=fwd1,fsd=fsd1,operation=read,skew=50,xfersize= 8k,fileio=sequential,fileselect=random,threads=48
fwd=fwd2,fsd=fsd1,operation=read,skew=50,xfersize= 8k,fileio=random,fileselect=random,threads=48
rd=rd1,fwd=(fwd1,fwd2),fwdrate=10000,format=no,ela psed=72000,interval=1
The generator runs on a client machine. The Amber Road volume is NFS mounted under /data_remote/test. There is a directory structure of 2 levels deep. Each directory at the end of this tree holds 10,000 files. Files of different sizes: 60% of them are 8KB, 25% is 32KB, 10% are 51KB and 5% are 4MB. A total a 96 threads are being used to generate the load. The test runs for 72,000 seconds.
The example above tries to create a continuous load of 10,000 IOPS (fwdrate).
Tests had to be done over a long time. The file system cache (ZFS ARC) was approximately 60 GB. It was already shown that the behavior of the Amber Road was perfect as long as capacity was available in ARC. Once the ARC was fully utilized the behavior started to show. For my tests this steady state behavior was needed in order to be comparable to the ISV situation.
The load test was done with a RAID-Z2 default setup, a RAID-Z2 narrow and a mirrored setup. Here's a picture with the output. Time versus number of IOPS. After the volume was created the directory structure and the files were created. After this a load run was started with 50% read.
Besides some spikes there is not much difference between these three. They all can cope with a 10,000 IOPS load very well. However this was during the first 10 minutes after all the files were created. Next graph shows the behavior over a ten times longer interval.
This data are from the same three tests. However here we see that at 700 seconds the default setup drops down to approximately 6,000 IOPS. Looking into the data presented by the vdbench log output (not shown here) also shows that there is no 50% read on average any more.
The RAID-Z2 narrow cab handle the 10,000 IOPS load longer. At 2700 seconds the behavior starts to change. It averages around 10,000 IOPS but the behavior is far less constant.
The mirrored setup performs the 10,000 IOPS nicely over the whole test period.
The tests described were executed to create a background load for running rsync. The bursts in the blue graph are points where the rsync is started. These were scheduled at 1800, 3600, and 5400 seconds. No ill effects during the test on a mirrored setup.
Here is a close up around the 900 second period.
One of the things that vdbench tries to do is to make up for missing IOs. The first big dip after T=700 is followed by a much bigger load request. The final result is that the system seems to throttle down to a 6000 IOPS level. During the first 600 seconds the average response time was around the 1 milli second. 200 seconds later this became 20 milli seconds. During the first 600 seconds the system was able to push 80 MB/sec. After the 800 second mark there was only 40-50 MB/sec left. Finally the amount of read ops settled around 85% of the total.
Finally to make this comparison complete, a close up of the graph around T=2900
The above mentioned test was redone for the three setups but now with a read write ratio of 75:25 and again with a 100% read test.
In order to see the effect on the run time of an rsync command that would create a backup of a 2 GB "mail-archive" this command was executed at 1800, 3600 and 5400 (rsync --delete -a .) The completion times are in the following tables. The times for the rsync during the default setup test were so long, that this test needed to be redone for a much longer time (14400 seconds.)
Table 1: 50% read 50% read load Type\Time 1800 3600 5400 7200 14400 RAID-Z2 default 5161 - - 4542 8987 RAID-Z2 narrow 124 1074 1059 - - RAID mirror 96 174 141 - -
Table 2: 75% read 25% write load" Type\Time 1800 3600 5400 7200 14400 RAID-Z2 default - 1842 - - 11548 RAID-Z2 narrow 91 91 210 134 - RAID mirror 99 100 101 116 -
Table 3: 100% read load"
Type\Time 1800 3600 5400 7200 14400 RAID-Z2 default 114 111 111 111 - RAID-Z2 narrow 76 76 76 76 - RAID mirror 88 84 85 88 -
The first thing to mention is that although the default setup seems to perform unexpected, you should revisit what is happening. The appliance is being stressed by a 10,000 IOPS load. Internally there are two times eleven disks handling this load. These standard SATA disks are able to handle a load of say 70 IOPS each (google returns many articles, where this number ranges from 50 to 100). This translates to approximately 1540 IOPS for the available disks.
In a mirrored setup this appliance was able to handle 10,000 IOPS: over 6 times the capacity of those disks alone.... If there are barely any writes this is even possible with the default setup, and the narrow raid configuration too. After realizing this, I must admit, I was impressed!

Thank you for e-mailing the Central Rappahannock Regional Library for a
book match. You asked for a match of Vincent Bugliosi's Helter
Skelter. Here's a list of books you may like based on aspects of Helter
How about another true crime book penned by Vincent Bugliosi, this time
in conjunction with Bruce B. Henderson:
And the Sea Will Tell by Vincent Bugliosi and Bruce B. Henderson
As he did in Helter Skelter..., Bugliosi draws readers into the
psyches of the criminally inclined in this minutely detailed chronicle
of two couples on a remote Pacific island. To Mac and Muff Graham,
Palmyra is Paradise; for Jennifer Jenkins and Buck Walker, it is a good
deal less. Tension builds between the couples, and when the Grahams are
reported missing, everyone except Bugliosi believes Jenkins and Walker
are responsible. Convinced of their innocence, he takes on the
unfamiliar role of defense lawyer, using his knowledge of the law and
keen insight into human behavior to reveal what really happened to the
Grahams. Not as grisly as Helter Skelter , this tale is just as
riveting--proving once again that the best stories come right out of
newspaper headlines. (Library Journal)
Or, how about other true crime, such as:
Zodiac by Robert Graysmith
Horrifying in a way no fiction can be, Zodiac is the gripping story
of the serial murderer who terrorized the San Francisco bay area from
1966 to 1978. The book contains reproductions of the killer's
communiques to the police as well as the author's own chilling
speculations on Zodiac's true identity--and his whereabouts today.
(Catalog summary)
The Stranger Beside Me: Ted Bundy: The Shocking Inside Story by Ann
Ted Bundy was everyone's picture of a natural "winner" -- handsome,
charming, brilliant in law school, successful with women, on the
verge of a dazzling career. On January 24, 1989, Ted Bundy was executed
for the murders of three young women; he had also confessed to taking
the lives of at least thirty-five more young women from coast to coast.
This is his story written by a woman who thought she knew Ted Bundy --
until she began to pull all the evidence together, and the whole
terrifying picture emerged from the dark. (Catalog summary)
Ann Rule has many other true crime works from which you may choose.
Less contemporary, but still riveting true crime:
The Maul and the Pear Tree: The Ratcliffe Highway Murders, 1811 by T.A.
Critchley and P.D. James
In 1811, London's East End was the scene of a series of murders so
brutal and irrational that they caused panic throughout the city,
which lacked a central police force. This engrossing account,
marking the American nonfiction debut of British mystery novelist
James, details the seven vicious (``brains battered out and throats
butchered''), apparently motiveless slayings (which occurred first in a
linen shop, then, days later, in a nearby pub); the confused efforts of
local ``police'' groups; and the cases' suspiciously abrupt closing
after suspect John Williams, a seaman and lodger at the Pear Tree public
house, committed suicide in jail, thereby sealing his ``guilt'' and
prompting a bizarre parade of his corpse (together with a murderous
maul) throughout the city. James and police historian Critchley use
documents and contemporary news accounts splendidly, pointing up the
incompetence of the investigators and offering an intriguing view of
what really happened. First published in Britain in 1971, this will
certainly please James's following here. (Publishers Weekly)

the riveting story of how she was seduced by one of the most notorious
cults in recent memory. (Catalog summary)

Here's a great one:
In Cold Blood: A True Account of a Multiple Murder and Its Consequences
by Truman Capote
With the publication of this book, Capote permanently ripped through
the barrier separating crime reportage from serious literature. As he
reconstructs the 1959 murder of a Kansas farm family and the
investigation that led to the capture, trial, and execution of the
killers, Capote generates suspense and empathy. (Catalog summary)

Farewell Lu Lingzi 吕令子
Andrew Meyer
Lu Lingzi, from a Facebook photo.Cross-posted from Madmen of Chu."How happy it is to have friends come from afar." This line from the opening passage of the Confucian Analects greets one everywhere that tourists congregate in China. Despite its having become a marketing cliche, it still expresses a profound truth. Bridging the distance between people is a basic human act. It is what makes families from isolated individuals, communities from disparate families, nations from disconnected communities, and what makes peace possible in a divided world. That joy is today mixed with sorrow, as we have lost a friend who came from afar. Lu Lingzi, a young graduate student from the city of Shenyang in the northeastern province of Liaoning, China, was killed in Monday's attack in Boston.

Just had my 3rd FLight and wow! This thing is really starting to work some magic!
I thought I'd test out a Suave Naturals hair conditioner I had after reading several positive posts about it. I did the oil test in a glass of water and it didn't seem to have any film on top but I'd like to list the ingredients anyway to get some comments on whether this is indeed safe for my FL. (I know it's probably not all that great for me, but for the moment I don't have a better alternative.)

MIFFLINTOWN - Juniata's wrestling team welcomed Halifax to town for the Indians' first home dual meet of the season - and then asked the Wildcats to wait for senior night activities, since it's also the last dual Juniata will host outside a tournament this year.
The outcome was never really in doubt - Juniata accumulated 28 points in the first six matches without sacrificing one - but the gesture by the Dauphin County team was much appreciated by the local club.
"We appreciate Halifax being willing to actually change the location of the match," said Juniata coach Mike Robinson, noting that the dual was to have been held on the Susquehanna River's east shore. "I have to give all the thanks in the world to their athletic director and coaching staff that they were willing to do that for us - otherwise we wouldn't have had this home match."

Or any home match at all, other than those wrestled as part of the trio of dual meet tournaments the Indians will hold this season.
As a host, though, the Indians were anything but generous. Halifax won just two matches as Juniata took a 61-12 victory away from the Tri-Valley League event.
Tylynn Miller flattened Jon Geiling to open the meet, which ran from light to heavy, and Halifax forfeited the next one. If there was a chance for the Wildcats to change the tone, it would have been at 120 and 126.
Juniata's Zach Snyder took on Tanner Weldon in the first of those, and took a 5-2 lead out of the first, then added four points on a reversal and two-point near fall in the second. But Weldon turned it back and picked up three back points to cut the different to two; the scoreless third period - with Logan on the bottom - was the difference.
In the next match, Juniata's Kobe Benner and Hunter Enders went without a score until just 10 seconds were left in the third period, when Benner worked a reverse to win that one.
"As a freshman, Zach Snyder's been a bright spot for us already this year. He's already proven himself that he's more than able to compete at that weight," Robinson said. "They wrestled with a lot of heart. The Halifax kids, they came out, wrestled tough - there were some good scrappy matches. We ended up on the short end in a couple of them."
Richie Gilson had what appeared on the outside to be an easy win at 132, but his coach saw it differently. But it was an unusual bout just the same in light of the controversy swirling around another TVL school that landed in a federal courtroom. Apparently, unlike Line Mountain, Halifax is more concerned with dedication and desire than with gender when building its wrestling roster, which is how Amber Laudenslager ended up across the mat from Gilson.
"I think it's a good point that she had the opportunity to wrestle," Robinson said. "She's willing to compete and compete against a young man - that's fine."
For two periods, it was all Gilson's match, as he used six takedowns and a tilt to build a 14-4 lead. In the third, Laudenslager chose defense and was reversed, seemingly ending any change of her winning. But when Gilson went for more back points, she twice had him in peril of a defensive pin, and eventually got a reverse of her own.
When Gilson got back in control, one long tilt away from a technical fall, Robinson put the brakes on - not for her sake, but for his, he explained.
"He had his hands full - and at times you could see where he was a little concerned. She proved herself - she's a tough competitor," Robinson said. "I'll be honest with you, she actually put him in danger. She actually put Richie on his back. As a coach, I could see that was actually playing out."
It was mostly pins and forfeits after that. Dylan Feltman (138) and Jared Benner (160) each picked up six on the mat; Cole Kellison (152) completed a tech fall late in the third and Taylor Foster (195) had a major decision for the final contested win by Juniata.
Halifax got its points on pins at 145 and heavyweight.
"(We have) only three seniors and we're a young team. They're going to have their growing pains," Robinson said. "I think they're really improving themselves though. They're working hard and the matches that we've wrestled so far, they're competing as a team."
Juniata (6-1, 2-0) heads to Sunbury for the Shikellamy Duals Saturday.

Donna Fargo, the Schoolmarm Who Went Country
Today Donna's record sales have climbed to more than four million copies and she has had five No. 1 country singles in a row, including the current country chart-topper, You Can't Be A Beacon (If Your Light Don't Shine), the only one of her hits she didn't write. Her albums have won three gold records (for sales of $1 million) and one platinum record (sales of one million copies). What's more, her singles and albums have gone higher and stayed longer on the middle-of-the-road pop hit lists than those of any other woman country artist.
According to the stereotype, country singers are supposed to be dirt-poor high school dropouts who marry early. Not Donna. The daughter of a well-to-do tobacco farmer from Mt. Airy, in North Carolina's Piedmont region, she graduated from High Point College and moved to California to pursue the one of her two dreams that seemed to make practical sense: teaching. The other dream was singing, which she had loved ever since childhood when she piped songs for her father's fox-hunting friends. "But that goal was never particularly clear," she says. "I didn't even know what kind of music I wanted to concentrate on."
At an audition she met agent Stan Silver, who told her she was a natural country singer, taught her to play the guitar, married her and became her manager and producer. When she started to moonlight as a singer, playing small clubs on weekends, Donna decided that no one was ever going to write songs for her so she had better do it herself. "I tried to write what I was feeling, the kinds of things I go through every day."
Her lyrics and melodies are more upbeat than the usual run of country. Daddy Dumpling is a love note to her widowed father. You Were Always There is a response to her mother's death five years ago and a plea to pay attention to people when they're alive. Her personal philosophy is best expressed in A Little Something to Hang Onto: "Change the things you can, accept the things you can't and don't you ever forget that you're your best friend."
Donna's next single is entitled The United States of America, in celebration of the land she and Stan travel constantly. On the road their home is a $160,000 bus which contains quadriphonic stereo, two televisions and three air conditioners. "Stan's got a lot of hair on him and he gets hot," she explains, poking a little fun at her heavily bearded husband. "We have a shag carpet on the floor, Naugahyde on top to protect the shag and Stan puts down Holiday Inn towels to protect the Naugahyde—he's a Virgo, what do you expect?" She's a Scorpio and devours books on astrology, though she insists she doesn't base decisions on it.
Home, when the Silvers get to it, is a three-level Spanish-style rancho set in the woods outside Nashville, with a separate music room-office for Donna. She now has the discipline not to smoke, something she loved to do from the time she earned extra money as a teenager picking tobacco leaves on her father's farm. "I dream about smoking," she says. "Sometimes I go into a smoky room just to absorb it." At 30, she still has to make a decision about whether to have children ("not the only reason women are on earth"). Presently she is content with her career, and devotes her free time to painting and writing poetry—"a little sadder and a little deeper than my songs."
Her former pupils still write and visit her backstage at concerts. But there is no question about ever going back to teaching. "In two years I've learned to cope with the rigors of the music business and from now on I just want to be too busy ever to get in a rut."

By The Associated Press
WINONA — Twenty Montgomery County students were injured Friday — two critically — when their school bus collided with an empty log truck in the north Mississippi town of Winona.
A total of seven students were transported to University of Mississippi Medical Center in Jackson. As of 5 p.m. Friday, two students were in critical condition, three were in stable condition, and two had been released, hospital spokesman Matthew Westerfield said.
A parent interviewed by WAPT-TV said that his 17-year-old son was paralyzed at least temporarily from the waist down. The parent said the boy's 12-year-old sister suffered a skull fracture and bleeding on the brain and that both were on breathing machines.
Other students were treated at Tyler Holmes Memorial Hospital in Winona.
Montgomery County schools superintendent Sammie McCaskill said he was notified of the accident shortly after 7 a.m.
"I put on some clothes and headed to the scene. We are thankful that we avoided a real tragedy and that no one was killed," he said.
He said neither the bus driver nor the log truck driver was hurt.
Winona police said the accident occurred shortly after 7 a.m. at the intersection of U.S. Highway 82 and Lodi Road, at the Winona city limits.
McCaskill said the students on the bus ranged from elementary through high school and were being driven to school in Kilmichael. He said the bus had only picked up half its usual number of students.
"It appeared the bus was entering the highway and something happened," McCaskill said.
Police said the school bus was knocked on its side. The truck was not carrying logs at the time of the accident. They said the accident was being investigated.

Could You Get By Without One of Your Cars?
|Email Print
One of the expenses common to many American households is the car. In fact, many households have more than one car. We have two cars, and we'd be hard-pressed to live without both of them, mainly because of the activities that we do, and where we live.
Getting rid of a car would save quite a bit, however. Think of the expenses that come with cars: Payments and interest (if you borrow in order to buy), insurance, maintenance, repairs, and fuel costs. All of these fuel costs add up. Chances are that you could save hundreds of dollars each month — particularly if you have borrowed to purchase your car — by getting rid of a car. But is it something your family can actually do?
What Do You Need Your Cars For?
First of all, you need to determine what you use your cars for. What do you need a car for? List the reasons that you need a car. The biggest reason that people use cars is to get to work. How many breadwinners do you have? Do they all need to get to work? What other reasons do you use the car? Here are some of the ways that we use our cars in my household:
- My husband commutes an hour to work (I work from home)
- I take my son to school, and to extra curricular activities
- We drive the car to the local stores, especially the grocery store
- The car is used for recreation, including camping, trips to the library, and more
Make a list of the places you go with your car, and how you use your cars. Once you know this information, it's possible to assess whether or not you really need more than one car (or any car at all).
What Resources are Nearby?
First, determine what resources are nearby. Can you walk or bike to what you need? My son's school is a mile away, and there is no bus service for him. I'm not comfortable with him walking it by himself, but if he could ride his scooter with a group of friends, it might make sense to for him to get himself to and from school.
It's possible to coordinate schedules, I suppose, so that we all go grocery shopping together when my husband is home with the car. We live quite a ways from just about everything, and the public transportation in our town isn't very good, so we need to drive to go to the store, library, post office, and just about everywhere else. Moving in closer to town might be a good solution, but since we don't know what the future holds right now for my husband's job, we want to wait to move. But our next move could be made with reference to Walk Score. (My current Walk Score is a 3, classifying my location as car-dependent.)
For now, with my husband's irregular schedule and 60-minute commute, and my requirement to use the car to get places when I am home, we aren't quite ready to get rid of one of our cars. We were a one-car family for many years, until my husband finished school and my son got old enough to become involved in more activities. Our next move will likely be to an area with more amenities close by, since we would like to be less dependent on cars.
What about you? Could you get rid of one of your cars? What would you need to do in order to get rid of one of your cars?

"I have known Kent since my playing days at Alabama and I knew if I had an opportunity to hire him, I would do so," Mike Shula said. "Kent's credentials are certainly representative of his outstanding work in the NFL and I look forward to having him here."
Johnston plans to be on campus by Friday.
Kent Johnston joins the Tide from the Seattle Seahawks where he has been head strength and conditioning coach since January 14, 1999 and recently finished his 23rd year of coaching collegiate and professional athletes in strength, conditioning and nutrition.
No stranger to Alabama football, Johnston was a graduate assistant and then assistant strength coach with the Tide from 1983-86 where he helped develop a number of NFL players.
He originally joined Seahawk Head Coach Mike Holmgren in Green Bay where he served in a similar capacity from 1992-98. One of his primary duties entailed the rehabilitation of injured players, while also serving as a resource for developing nutrition programs that varied for individual players.
A unique aspect of Johnston's conditioning program has been the coordination of karate and yoga classes during the offseason to increase both cardiovascular capacity and coordination.
In 1997, Johnston was honored as "Strength and Conditioning Coach of the Year" by the Professional Football Strength and Conditioning Coaches' Society.
Prior to joining the Packers, Johnston spent five years (1987-91) in the weight room of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, where he was hired by then Head Coach Ray Perkins.
Johnston began his coaching career at Teague High School in Texas (1978) before entering the collegiate ranks at Northwestern (La.) (1979). He spent two years at Northeast Louisiana (1980-81) and one year at Willis High in Texas (1982) before joining the Crimson Tide staff.
A graduate of Stephen F. Austin where he played defensive back, Johnston earned his Master's Degree in Physical Education from Alabama in 1984.
Born February 21, 1956, in Mexia, Texas, Kent and his wife, Pam, have four sons, Kody (5/30/90), Kole (5/7/92), Clay (8/8/96) and Cade (6/24/98).

There is not much to say other than the fact that it has been a magical season for Fulham and it culminated with qualification into next seasons' Europa League!! Enough said.
Manchester City and West Ham can kiss their European aspirations goodbye after each team lost on Saturday. However, Fulham and Tottenham made it a two-horse race for the final Europa League spot as each team came out victorious on Saturday with one match remaining in the 2008-2009 Premier League season.
Remember Diomansy Kamara? The Senegalese international has missed most of the 2008-2009 season after rupturing ligaments in his knee over the summer and has bided his time on the bench the last few weeks since getting match fit. His patience paid off as Kamara scored a brace and earned a penalty which lead to Fulham's third in an important 3-1 romp over Aston Villa on Saturday at Craven Cottage to push Fulham into seventh place with only two matches remaining in the season.
