MIP Pro4-Mance SCTE Chassis & Tuning Kit
I had a 1.0 chassis and needed to upgrade it so it was this MIP or losi 2.0 chassis, i went with the MIP. Well ive raced it 4 times now with each day having 3-4 races, i hate it. All of the weight is in the back which makes it do several things i dont like, it jumps nose up most of the time and catches air in the front making the nose go even higher, of course all the weight in the back makes it worst, it comes down and all the weight in the back makes the chassis slap the ground hard(hardest losi springs w/40wt) in turn making the front slap down, then the front bounces up of the ground!(med spring MIP kit with 45wt). Also when the weight is in the back it causes the car to push bad, everyone is out steering me, im a top 3 driver in every race ive ever raced until i got this losi/MIP kit. The chassis has a TON of flex, it unnerving really, the center diff came completely loose due to flex and i lost 2 screws, i locktighted the heck out of it and still caught it coming loose. Another thing that annoys me is with weight in the rear you have to keep the back end from sliding out otherwise all the weight back there is hard to get back straight and its unpredictable. I'm really bummed i spent all that money on this truck just to make a loser. Got beat bad by a tekno, probly going that route next.

MIP Pro4-Mance SCTE Chassis & Tuning Kit
Did I like this kit - yeah, OK. Definitely need to reduce the weight of the model and this whale best of which is now on the market. Balancing weights are part quality is also good. ut in this set, I don't put details and to my letters manufacturer is still not responding. So I put a low rating.

MIP Pro4-Mance SCTE Chassis & Tuning Kit
IMO this kit doesnt work well on blown rough outdoor track. The chassis and everything is very well built. Just the shock towers and bypass pistons dont work well for myself and my driving style. Still highly recommend this over stock but the pistons and towers may not work well for your application as it did not for mine. I also cracked the rear tower aswell after only owning for 1 month, I'll chalk that up to driver error but the towers are really thin compared to the competitions. This kit is 100% geared more towards indoor clay or smooth clay tracks.

MIP Pro4-Mance SCTE Chassis & Tuning Kit
This is an awesome kit. I was able to install this in less than an hour, including the removing of the original parts, but not re oiling the shocks. It goes together easily and it looks great. The track i run on is hard packed with great traction when wet, but when dry, the handling is a bit of a wash compared to stock. The shock towers are great for being Carbon Fiber, but they are thinner than aluminum and they do exhibit a hint of flex and it does have me worried a bit. My track has large jumps, and if yours does too, i recommend putting the stiffest included springs in the rear instead of the stock, or just add thicker oil than MIP recommends. My supply is limited so I used a makeshift stiffener. Overall, great kit. I highly advise you to get this if you've had your eye on it.

|[TowerTalk] OR2800 rotor issue
|Sat, 17 Jul 2010 20:23:11 +0000
Good afternoon, I installed an OR2800 dc rotor yesterday, and ran into a few issues. After performing the calibration routine, I tried to rotate the rotor one full 360 degree rotation. However, the rotor would always stop at 95 degrees, or thereabouts, even after multiple recalibration attempts. More interestingly, each time I got to 95 on the controller, the outside array would be anywhere from 35 to 70 degrees in position. If I waited 30 seconds and then tried to hit the CW button again, it would sit at 95, then display error message E1. I then took the controller out from the shack to the base of the tower, thus reducing the control cable length in half and removing the lightning suppression equipment. Same results. Cable is the wireman cable designed for this rotor. (#302 or 306, I forget) 100ft from the rotor to the supression panel, then another 105ft to the shack. Frustrated, I reconnected everything as before and put the controller back in the shack. After taking a break, I came back to the shack. For some reason, this time I thought about lowering the speed setting from 9 to 4. Then, miraculously, I was able to rotate the rotor completely around (360+). Repeatedly with success! Therefore, it appears that for some reason, at high speeds the controller and rotor are loosing sync. I can understand if the controller gets corrupted pulse data, but why does it always stop at 95? And be at different positions outside? Could there be a voltage drop in the long cable length that is more pronounced at the higher speeds? Thus causing the controller to stop? Anyone else see this condition?

Cedar Grove's Drew Emperley took a pretty good hit and missed the final play of last week's thriller with Kingsford at Flivver Field.
Rockets coach Chris Zablocki thought his senior quarterback would be fine for the next game.
"It's ironman football," Zablocki said, noting Emperley had the wind knocked out of him. "Kingsford knows about that. You take shots you're going to get bruises in the game of football."
Zablocki, who likely inspired his players and anybody else around with his post-game huddle talk, credited the Flivvers with "great fans and hospitality."
"Kingsford is a storied program," Zablocki said after the Flivvers' 34-32 win. "They just keep on going and going.

American Legion honors Olympic Printer Resources
KINGSTON — Olympic Printer Resources, Inc. was recently honored by the state American Legion as the state's Small Business of the Year for hiring veterans.
The award was presented July 21 at the Legion's state convention in Wenatchee.
Olympic Printer Resources remanufactures Brother, Canon, Hewlett Packard, and other brands of printer, fax and copier laser toner cartridges. It recently released the standard CE390A and high yield CE390X cartridges for the new HP Enterprise LaserJet 600 series printers. Company president Jeff Petersen, a 1974 graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy and a former nuclear submarine officer, was presented the certificate of appreciation at the convention by state Commander Jake Cabuag and Bob Theal of Poulsbo Legion Post 245, who nominated the company for the award. "I was impressed that seven of the company's 10 local employees are service veterans and another was the wife of a retired Navy CPO," Theal said.
Petersen said he likes to hire veterans "because I know that based on their previous military service, they are mission oriented and really get the concept of teamwork."
Olympic Printer Resources was founded by Pete DeBoer, a retired U.S. Coast Guard officer, in 1993. It was awarded a Kitsap County Earth Day Award for Environmental Leadership in 2008. Last year, it reported to the State of Washington that it keep 22.89 tons of empty cartridges from going into landfills.

Rivals.com has come out with its ranking of the Top 150 high school players from the Class of 2007.
Syracuse has four commitments in the top 60. Donte Greene leads the way at No. 15. He's a 5-star recruit, according to Rivals. Johnny Flynn, the point guard from Niagara Falls, is No. 29. Rick Jackson, the 6-9 post player from Philly, is No. 35 and 6-2 combo guard Antonio Jardine, Jackson's teammate at Neumann-Goretti High, is No. 59.
Here's a link to a Rivals story that talks about SU's class.
Sean Williams, Syracuse's fifth commitment in the 2007 Class, didn't make the Top 150. It'll be interesting to see where the 6-11 Williams is at after the upcoming summer.
Take these rankings for what they're worth. Before last summer, Johnny Flynn wasn't in anybody's Top 100.

Global data consumption has been increasing rapidly and is expected to grow exponentially in the coming years. As the traditional Internet and the Internet of Things evolve and grow, the need for high-speed, high-density connectors grows with them. For example, new, flexible backplane solutions are needed to meet speed demands. Currently, users are demanding data rates from 25 Gbps to 40 Gbps, and 56 Gbps is on the horizon.
Not all backplanes are made alike, and they offer varied capabilities. System designers/architects that create networking, data center, storage, and other devices and systems need to understand key features -- such as required density, data-rate, slot pitch, and bandwidth -- that are used in individual chassis designs.
The most common design, a conventional backplane, uses a right-angle daughter card (RA DC) mated to vertical backplane headers. While this architecture is familiar to designers, compared to newer alternatives it requires longer routed channels and thicker substrates to meet signal density requirements and routing capabilities.
Longer routed channels have some benefits but also liabilities. They attenuate crosstalk (noise from adjacent channels) but cause greater insertion loss of the signals. The thicker substrates associated with conventional backplanes also present technical and commercial problems.
Thicker substrates require appropriate aspect ratios to control drill-hole locations with precision. Depending on the total substrate thickness and manufacturing process capabilities, a larger compliant pin may also be required to facilitate PCB fabrication. A larger compliant pin and its associated via diameter can cause a larger capacitive effect in the via structure, which can increase reflective loss in the channel. Back drilling (removing unused or unwanted PCB via stubs) may also be required to improve signal-integrity performance in the respective channel, and back drilling adds cost to PCB fabrication.
Backplane alternatives
All of these issues limit the ability of conventional backplanes to accommodate higher data speeds. As a result system designers are using several innovative solutions to resolve that issue, including the following.
The quad-route backplane is one solution. Some quad-route backplane connector solutions provide more column-to-column space than conventional designs. They enable the user to route four traces between the columns of vias by leveraging a 3-mm column-to-column pitch vs. the traditional, denser 1.9-mm pitch. This reduces the number of signal layers required to route the connector. Quad-route backplane solutions with 3-mm pitch provide lower crosstalk with a footprint that can produce robust signal-integrity performance. However, the increased pitch, which produces more spacing between wafers, means that fewer wafers can fit on a given card edge, reducing the connector linear density.
Another alternative, the coplanar backplane (right-angle male mating to right-angle daughtercard) supports various I/O protocols, enabling the use of pluggable modules. A coplanar backplane is essentially a bridge card; it provides a common interconnect for various blades, or line cards, that plug into the backplane. For example, some users may need to plug RJ45 blades into the backplane but other users, such as high-end data centers, may need faster data rates requiring a zQSFP type of I/O. On a coplanar backplane the user can change an Ethernet RJ45 connection to a SFP connection without unplugging anything from the backplane. This allows system designers to use existing backplane architectures while scaling to various I/O protocols, such as InfiniBand, Fibre Channel, and Ethernet.

UNC Charlotte is on YouTube
Researcher Uncovers Clues that Cause DNA Damage
Frogs and their tiny eggs are helping a UNC Charlotte researcher unlock the mysteries of genomic instability, with implications for cancer and neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's Disease.
Biological sciences assistant professor Shan Yan researches DNA damage that human cells sustain from thousands of internal and environmental assaults each day. Researchers know that the body's cells have a complex set of processes that constantly assess the damage and make repairs to fragile genetic material. "The main question we try to answer is how genomic integrity is maintained," Yan says. "All living organisms have a genome, which must maintain its integrity in response to damaging agents, such as oxidative stress or chemotherapy drugs. The process is not well studied and there are many unanswered questions, which is why we are interested."
Knight Foundation Grant Bolsters 'City Walks' Project
The UNC Charlotte Urban Institute and its PlanCharlotte.org web publication have received a $15,000 grant from the Knight Foundation to continue their work as citywide organizers of a series of Charlotte neighborhood "City Walks" each May.
The walks are inspired by the work of urban observer and writer Jane Jacobs and encourage people to learn their city by exploring it on foot and observing it up close. They are part of an international Jane's Walk movement that has helped neighborhood leaders and others organize walks throughout the world.
PlanCharlotte.org began the Charlotte walks in 2012 with one walk. By 2016 – aided by previous Knight Foundation grants – there were 21 City Walks, including two on bicycles, in neighborhoods such as NoDa, Dilworth, South End, Revolution Park, Enderly Park, Historic West End and Uptown.

For more than a decade, Jefferson Parish has wrung its hands over the subject of Carnival parades. Parish officials have alternately tried to impose and enforce higher standards, then have relaxed them in the face of economic conditions and complaints from krewes.
Now they're raising standards again, with a new ordinance that increases the amount of live music and decreases the volume of recorded music. The new rules were approved this month by the Parish Council, and already are sparking debate about the amount of government involvement in events put on by private organizations.
Councilwoman Cynthia Lee-Sheng said that while the krewes themselves are private, Carnival is a community tradition that needs to be protected lest parades become indistinguishable from other marches.
"I think it belongs to all of us. Carnival belongs to the people as well," said Lee-Sheng, whose Metairie district includes the main parade route on Veterans Memorial Boulevard. "If you lower the bar, it's never good. It's just about preserving a tradition that deserves to be preserved."
But some krewe captains say the regulations will make it more difficult and expensive for krewes to roll.
"I feel like they impose too many rules out here," said Bob Carnesi, captain and chairman of the Krewe of Caesar. "It's to the detriment of the riders, and then they just don't want to ride."
New marching orders
The new rules focus largely on marching bands. Before Hurricane Katrina, Carnival parades were required to include at least 10 marching bands. Those rules, designed to improve the quality of the parades, were loosened after Katrina because krewes were struggling to recover from the storm. Since Katrina, Carnival parades have been required to have only three marching bands.
But starting in 2013, the new rules will increase that requirement by one band per year until each parade must have at least 10 marching bands in 2019.
The regulations have been greeted warmly by some krewe captains.
"I personally think that the bands are much more beneficial to Mardi Gras than the other rolling musical things. It's more traditional," said Argus co-captain Rob DeViney.
DeViney, whose krewe expects to have five marching bands in 2012, said the regulations are necessary to prevent a decline in quality, which hurts the overall Carnival experience. This has become more of a problem in recent years, as some krewes' membership has dwindled and finances, which often come from hosting bingo games, have been hit hard. Rhea announced earlier this year that it will not roll in 2012 in part because bingo revenue had dropped.
Higher quality parades could bring in more riders and thus more membership revenue, helping to offset the higher costs of hiring more bands.
"What we have noticed is that once you start lowering your standards, that's what you're going to get," said Sean Burke, director of the parish's Citizen Affairs Department, which oversees the parades. "The theory is by increasing those standards, not only are you increasing the quality of the parade, you're going to attract more individuals."
Carnesi, however, said he fears the regulations could persuade some riders to abandon Carnival altogether in favor of less structured parades.
"You see some of the other parades, the Irish-Italian parade and what-not, and there's hardly any regulations at all," Carnesi said.
Static over speakers
Jefferson Parish krewes have historically had a difficult relationship with marching bands, in part because of competition with the larger and parades in New Orleans, which some out-of-town bands consider more prestigious. The relatively small number of school bands in Jefferson Parish means that some bands have to be flown in from outside, krewe officials said.
And some marching bands have their own complaints. Lee-Sheng said she knows of one band that stopped playing mid-parade because the recorded music blaring from a float behind it drowned out the live musicians.
Incidents like that inspired a new rule that prohibits float music from interfering with bands, Lee-Sheng said. Riders still may listen to music on their floats, provided it doesn't conflict with the bands.
In contrast, other communities have embraced any kind of music, whether it be from loudspeakers or from live bands. Carnesi said that when Caesar delivers its floats to a Houma krewe that reuses them for a parade there, the first thing those riders do is string speakers on the sides. Preventing Jefferson floats from providing their own music takes away from the fun for those who attend the parades, Carnesi said.
"If you don't have the people out here playing music on the floats, what are they going to hear, dead silence?" Carnesi said.
Carnesi, who founded Caesar 33 years ago, said the krewe's 2012 parade will include 12 to 15 marching bands and 27 floats.
Problems down the road
Joyce Blondeau, captain of Isis, said her concern is the long-range nature of the regulations. While Isis expects to have six bands in its 2012 parade, twice the number required under the regulations, it's difficult to say how what the situation will be eight years from now, Blondeau said.
"How would you know what your budget is going to be?" she said. "How would you know if you can get 10 bands? I could never project today what's going to happen in 2019," she said.
Any krewe found in violation of the ordinance could be prohibited from rolling.
Other, less controversial rules require that krewe members be masked and in costume. This regulation led to new requirements for the coming year to ensure that law enforcement officials have a list of all participants and their location on the floats, so that, if necessary, they can identify riders who break the law. The rules also require that riders stay in their assigned positions.
The Parish Council also decided to forbid float drivers and horseback riders to drink.
Burke said Jefferson parades are on the upswing. His office has received an application for a new krewe for 2013, the first time a new organization has sought to roll since Katrina. Improving the quality of parades will further enhance the Carnival experience, he said.
"All this is done for the public, to provide something else for them to enjoy and improve the quality of life and let them have a nice family atmosphere to come out to," Burke said.

Smith & Nephew could become the centre of an American bidding war after another US company was said to be interested in making an offer for the medical technology company.
As shares in the FTSE 100-listed hip replacement maker rose by more than 3 per cent yesterday, there were reports that Medtronic, one of the world's largest medical device manufacturers, was making early stage preparations before an offer. According to Bloomberg, the information provider, Medtronic had $14.2 billion in cash or near-equivalent assets at the end of April.

ALLEN PARK -- When the Detroit Lions gathered Monday for their first team meeting in almost a week, coach Rod Marinelli did not discuss the firing of president Matt Millen.
"You don't state the obvious,'' Marinelli said.
The firing, which happened last Wednesday, is no longer news -- and neither is the fact that a lot of other jobs might be on the line. Marinelli said he wouldn't fight the perception that he's a lame duck coach.
"I won't combat anything,'' Marinelli said. "I had a chance to talk to (owner William Clay Ford) and everything is zeroed in on the Chicago Bears, and that's what we're trying to do.''
The 0-3 Lions play the 2-2 Bears at Ford Field on Sunday.
"I don't know what the perception is, and I don't really care what the perception is,'' Lions center Dominic Raiola said. "No matter who the coach is here, it's still a players' game. I mean, how many coaches do we have to go through, how many general managers do we have to go through, without it being our fault? We've still got to play. They can say what they want, but it's the players in this locker room who have to turn it around.''
Quarterback Jon Kitna agreed.
"The way it is in this league is that you win games and you keep your job. If you don't, then you start losing jobs,'' said Kitna, adding that the players can't view Marinelli's authority any differently regardless of a possible lame duck status.
"We're all lame ducks if that's our approach. We all are. If you win football games and climb back into the race and do some positive things and sneak into the playoffs, then everybody can feel more secure. But, if not, I don't think anybody should feel secure -- aside from Calvin (Johnson).''
"I think Rod has such a good command of this team and people respect him so much that that isn't even a question,'' quarterback Drew Stanton said. "Rod has stuck to his plan and he's a man of his word, and he's going to go about his business.''
Marinelli's message to the team was that while the Lions have had their struggles, there are still 13 games left and that no one in the NFC North has a better record than 2-2.
"It's right there in front of us,'' Raiola said. "That's what gets me when people say the season's done. It's right there, and let's go out Sunday and see what happens. So write what you want to write, we don't give a (bleep). We've got to play football.''
"You can't worry about that,'' veteran running back Rudi Johnson said of the front office upheaval. "I don't think the coaches are worried about that. Going out and executing is the only way you fix things.''
"We believe in Rod and his message and some people might not like the fact that he's consistent in his message and it's not very showy but, as a coach, that's what we like. He's consistent and he's a man of his word. To me, personally, he's backed up everything's he's said,'' left tackle Jeff Backus said. "I'd really love to see us turn this thing around this season and turn this into a positive situation -- so we don't have to worry about people being let go and players being changed. It's week five of the season and we're 0-3 and we still have everything sitting in front of us. I'm not going to worry about 'what-ifs.' I'm going to play this Sunday to the best of my ability and let things fall where they may.''
Rudi Johnson now starter running back
Rookie running back Kevin Smith said he was told by the coaching staff that he is no longer the starter and that veteran Rudi Johnson would take his place. Smith had started the first three games of the season, but was replaced in the last game in the first half by Johnson, who played the rest of the game.
Peterman questionable for Sunday's game
Right guard Stephen Peterman broke his left hand in the game against the San Francisco 49ers and his questionable for the Bears game. Peterman, who will have to wear a cast over his entire hand, said he hopes to play against Chicago, but Marinelli said doctors have yet to make a final decision.

white night wonder of solovki
The weeks surrounding the summer solstice in northern Russia are known as the 'White Nights', when the sun barely sets and the country celebrates its round-the-clock glow.
From May to July each year St Petersburg basks in the cultural light of ballet, opera and musical events. While in more remote regions the festivities may be a little less flamboyant, as Intrepid's Tara Kennaway discovered, seeing the sun almost set on Solovki is a very special experience…
"It's 2am and the sun is only just starting to set, streaking the sky with strips of pink and purple which reflect on the waters of the lake and mingle with the image of the 12th century monastery that stands in front of us. This is summer on the Solovetsky Islands and White Nights celebrations are in full swing.
The Solovetsky Islands, known commonly as Solovki, are filled with the awesome beauty of forests, lakes, windswept rocky bays and picturesque churches, conflicting with their horrific history. For hundreds of years this isolated region was home to one of the world's greatest monasteries, before the creation of the Russian empire turned it into a place of exile. During the Soviet years Solovki housed one of the USSR's most notorious prison camps, the tragedy of which is described in Solzhenitsn's 'The Gulag Archipelago'.
It's these incredible contradictions that confront us as we explore the islands. It is the middle of the night, yet it is still light enough for us to be cycling around on bikes that we've hired from local villagers. In the middle of the tranquil forests and fields of wildflowers you can come upon remains of abandoned prison camps. Russian orthodox pilgrims visiting the island's sacred sites picnic where political prisoners once gathered for morning role call. We ride past a cluster of wooden churches and a modern day monk nods in greeting as he walks by choosing ring tones for his mobile phone.
As we pedal to the shoreline of the White Sea and dismount our bikes the sun is already starting to rise, although it never really set at all. On a grassy patch near the beach is one of the island's labyrinths – mysterious stone spirals constructed by the earliest settlers of this territory, most likely in the 2nd millennium BC. To this day, no one is really sure whether they were built as sites for pagan rituals or elaborate hunting traps. To us it doesn't really matter. We are in one of the most remote, magical and moving places I can imagine and experiencing the full spectrum of Russian history."
Be enchanted by the White Nights of Russia a time when the sun almost never sets. Travel from St Petersburg through the remote and rugged landscape of the country's northern regions, discovering secluded islands, ancient wooden villages and overwhelmingly warm hospitality from the locals along the way.

Karmin Release 'Hello' Album Cover
Pop duo Karmin are blowing up airwaves with 'Brokenhearted,' so it only makes sense that they'd promote their upcoming debut, 'Hello,' at the same time. The cute couple released their album cover for fans of the spunky-spitting duo.
Showcasing their signature quirky style, Nick Noonan and Amy Heidemann sit on a white ledge. Noonan dons suspenders, black pants, shades, matching shoes and a crisp white shirt. Heidemann rocks her trademark brights in red pants, pin-up evoking polka dots and her usual victory roll in her long brown hair. We're actually surprised they didn't mug more for the camera, as their typical poses are much goofier and more dramatic — and at times can almost be too much, so perhaps this move was deliberate.
Karmin are crashing not only parties, but the Billboard charts. 'Brokenhearted' is at No. 33 on the Hot 100, No. 19 on the Pop chart and at No. 14 on the Dance/Club Play chart.
Noonan spoke to Billboard about 'Hello.' "It's like the covers on crack," Noonan said. "A lot of rapping, a lot of earth tones, a lot of big drums and big pop choruses." Sounds good to us!

The Vampire Diaries Season 4 Episode 2 WATCH Online Free
The Vampire Diaries Season 4 Episode 2 Matt and Tyler are nowhere to be found in the episode, but Alaric does get his fair share of screentime, becoming one of the highlights of the finale. Starting out by drinking away his sadness over Jenna's death, he jumps at the chance to help Damon – despite their past problems – when Stefan calls upon him and later steps into the role of the father figure for Jeremy. He's certainly one of the show's best characters and with Jenna gone, I only hope they find away to keep Alaric intimately involved with the stories of season 3.
The Vampire Diaries Season 4 Episode 2 The Vampire Diaries Season 4 Episode 2 In traditional Vampire Diaries fashion, the finale of season 2 offers plenty of twists and turns, topped with a few cliff hangers for fans to dwell on until next season, the most intriguing of which will be the role reversal of Damon and Stefan.
After a surprisingly enjoyable first season, The Vampire Diaries started its second year strong and kept it going the entire season. The mythology was broadened, secondary characters became the most interesting people on the show, and the finale left the audience anxious for Season 3.
Season 2 set the tone with its quick pacing and the writers kept things moving in Season 2 as the mythology was expanded to include both werewolves and Original vampires. The Vampire Diaries Season 4 Episode 2 While the werewolves were presented as cursed creatures, forced to undergo painful The Vampire Diaries Season 4 Episode 2 transitions during a full moon, the Original vampires brought an epic tone to the show, with their calm composure being the very opposite of a werewolf's transformation. Daniel Gillies and Joseph Morgan were excellent additions to the cast as Original vampire brothers Elijah and Klaus. The Salvatore brothers have got nothing on these two with their centuries of bloodshed and betrayal.
The Vampire Diaries does not shy away from making drastic changes for characters, the The Vampire Diaries Season 4 Episode 2 biggest and the best example in Season 2 was Caroline (Candice Accola) becoming a vampire. Accola kept Caroline's heart and vulnerability front and center, even as she The Vampire Diaries Season 4 Episode 2 grew into her power as a new vampire. In a much less shocking development, Tyler Lockwood (Michael Trevino) finally became a werewolf, something that had been hinted at so often in the first season that it seemed inevitable. Similar to Caroline's story, Trevino brought out a new side to Tyler who had initially appeared to be a one-note bully at the beginning of Season 2. These two storylines were brought together beautifully as Caroline was especially sympathetic for what Tyler was going through and tried to help him. Their chemistry and the love triangle created with Tyler, Caroline, and Matt might even give The Vampire Diaries Season 4 Episode 2 the original recipe love triangle of Stefan, Elena and Damon a run for their money.
The Vampire Diaries Season 4 Episode 2 Bringing all the storylines together was the Sun and Moon curse, with its ritual that required the sacrifice of a vampire, a werewolf and Elena. The curse itself got to be somewhat tedious after going on for the majority of the season, but things picked up again when it was revealed that its real target was Klaus. In a bold move, the season-long conflict reached its climax in "The Sun Also Rises" when Klaus actually succeeded in killing his three victims and breaking the curse. We grow so accustomed to heroes coming through with a last-minute save, that when the bad guy wins, and wins thoroughly, it is shocking. Of course, this is The Vampire Diaries, so at The Vampire Diaries Season 4 Episode 2 least one of the deaths didn't stick, but it was still a definite point in the loss column for the good guys.
The Vampire Diaries Season 4 Episode 2 Although Stefan and Elena didn't waver as a couple throughout the season, they managed to avoid being annoyingly mushy, which is a significant accomplishment, all things considered. In one of the better scenes of the season, and one that seemed aimed at distancing The Vampire Diaries from Twilight, Elena declared that she had no desire to become a vampire and lose her humanity. It is one of the strengths of the show that Elena is a capable and compelling character on her own, with or without Stefan. That being said, the love triangle between Stefan, Elena and The Vampire Diaries Season 4 Episode 2 Damon remained a driving force during the second season. Both brothers had their own ideas about how best to help Elena, with Stefan trying to respect Elena's wishes while Damon usually acted rashly and selfishly. Luckily Ian Somerhalder brought such pathos to the role that was understandable when Elena had compassion on him in the end.
Vampire Diaries Season 4 Episode 2 I'm curious: Did anyone else think, just for a second, that Elena somehow walked in on a sleeping Elijah when she peeked into Jeremy's bedroom? It would have made no sense, obviously, but Steven R. McQueen looked like Daniel Gillies from that distance, and now that my mind has gone there, what do you think Elijah sleeps in? A fitted wife-beater and a pair of silk pants? (Shorts would seem undignified.) Anyway, after Elena surveyed Jenna's empty bedroom, she found the house wasn't as empty as she thought: Damon was there to ask her to forgive him for feeding her his blood. It was the sweetest, softest voice we'd ever heard Damon use — up to that point. Elena said she needed time, maybe a lot of it. We knew Damon didn't have that; he didn't even have enough energy to raise his eyebrows.
Vampire Diaries Season 4 Episode 2 Back at the Salvatore mansion, Damon went for the good bottle of bourbon in the back of the liquor cabinet and stood in front of a stained glass window. It was peaceful, like he was in church. He dropped his ring and started to let himself burn. Stefan tackled him and told Damon he wouldn't be dying today. He locked Damon in the cell in the basement. Damon wanted Stefan to just say goodbye. As Damon lay coughing up blood, Stefan told him to conserve his strength. Stefan phoned Alaric, who, naturally, was hitting the bottle at The Grill. That was a great conversation, wasn't it?
Vampire Diaries Season 4 Episode 2 That's how you remind viewers what happened last week! When Stefan told him Damon was dying, and Alaric said, "What do you need?" I swooned. That Alaric-Damon bromance is still one of my favorite relationships on the show. Apparently, Stefan needed Alaric to take over Suicide Watch 2022 so the following could happen: Damon could maybe kinda sorta apologize to Alaric for his role in Jenna's death (Alaric didn't blame him for that) and for turning his wife into a vampire. "Okay, give me your glass. Neither one of us is drunk enough for this conversation," Alaric said, having brought a bottle down with him. Damon grabbed Alaric by the throat and begged him to do what Damon had done to Rose: "Kill me. Please," he said. "Screw you," Alaric answered, and stabbed him Vampire Diaries Season 4 Episode 2 with vervain. "Elena?" Damon said as he hit the dirt. I wasn't sure if he was having another hallucination (at one point, we saw him imagine entering Katherine's bedroom in 2864 to fix her corset strings before heading off to war and Elena appearing to tell him Katherine was just toying with him — he had a choice); if he was calling out her name because he wanted Alaric to know he needed to see her; or if she was simply the only thing on his mind. Alaric said she wasn't there. But she was on her way...

For those of us who are fans of the Chuy's chain of Tex-Mex restaurants, this is the best news to come out of Texas since Shiner Bock beer came to town.
What could be next?
Will they move "Austin City Limits" here, too?
Like Shiner beer and Texas Longhorns football, Chuy's (pronounced "chewy's," like in "gooey") is a Lone Star State institution, famous for its monster "Chuychangas," its killer margaritas and its eclectic, Elvis-inspired, junkyard decor.
And although word got out a month or so ago that Chuy's planned to open its first Alabama location here at the Summit on U.S. 280, this week, the Chuy's folks made it official.
Construction of the restaurant is well underway in the third phase of the Summit development, near the new Flip Burger Boutique. It is expected to open by early summer.
In addition to its 16 restaurants in Austin, Houston, San Antonio, Waco and the Dallas-Fort Worth area, Chuy's recently branched outside of Texas to open a location in the Nashville suburb of Franklin and plans to open another Tennessee store in Murfreesboro in March.
Each location is unique, Frank Biller, Chuy's vice president of Southeast operations, says. And the Birmingham Chuy's will have its own charm.
"We have a saying, 'If you've seen one Chuy's, you've seen one Chuy's,'" Biller says. "While there will be a lot of carryover of our decor, we fully expect this Chuy's to be uniquely Birmingham."

As one of the long-term unemployed, I suffered under Thatcher's rule. I remember when I was living in Scotland & she tried to impose the Poll Tax on us up there before the rest of Britain – meant to be a punishment for not electing Scottish Tory MPs I think.
Here are some things I prepared earlier in anticipation of this glorious day of her long-awaited demise:

Nice suggestions, Bernie and Donnacha. This was a quick list, but we're already getting plenty more great suggestions. Keep them coming!
@MaximeCombes reminds us that Maggie hatred also crossed the channel, with Renaud's Miss Maggie:
@KateChallender suggests Frank Turner, Thatcher Fucked the Kids, which sounds like a good one for the post-party campfire:
@m_pattison recommends The Specials' cover of Dylan's Maggie's Farm :
Cris S Marchan comes up with John McCullagh's catchy, folksy "I'll Dance On Your Grave Mrs Thatcher"
and Sarah Irving's list http://sarahirving.wordpress.com/2013/04/08/maggie-songs/
includes another "Day that Margaret Thatcher Dies", this time by Pete Wylie, as well as this apt (if rather tuneless) Attila the Stockbroker effort
Maggots 1 – Maggie Nil :
& for completists, Buzzfeed comes up with a list of 21 Maggie songs that includes some of those featured above:
Given David Cameron's love of The Smiths, I hope Morrissey's "Margaret on the Guillotine"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=hsq3H_6XuFA makes a number of playlists too

there can scarcely ever have been another politician who inspired such musical vitriol!
Also, given how Thatcher's support for apartheid and denunciation of Mandela as a "terrorist" seems to have been airbrushed from obit-history, no playlist should be complete without The Specials' "Nelson Mandela" :

I avoided posting this one, partly because I think it's rather unfair to witches, and partly because it's directly referenced in the Hefner song, but it's worth noting that this has already attracted hundreds of anti-Thatcher comments:

'Mad Men' characters going to extremes
April 27, 2012 - Bennet Goldstein
The return of the AMC series "Mad Men" has been a bit of a let down in my eyes. We are in the middle of the season and the last couple of episodes it seems like the characters are going off the deep end.
Just in the last two weeks we've had a fist fight in the middle of the office, the lead character chasing his wife around their home then tackling her, a very raunchy movie theater scene and a guy taking LSD with his wife. Earlier in the season, we also had a cancer scare for one of the main characters, which turned out to be fine.
It is me or are these characters a little more extreme this year? They have never been the epitome of righteousness but this year it seems like writers are trying very hard to be over the top.
This hasn't been the best season in my opinion. The shows have still been decent, but I guess I expected better, especially after the long wait.

About a mile and a half into this past Saturday afternoon's walk along the Palmer Township Rail Trail/Bike Path, we got caught in a sudden rain squall. Having come from the boat launch parking area, this had luckily placed us at the chain dam and thus near the footpath to shelter in the tunnel under the upper pathway.
Coming out of the trees onto the lower path just as the storm really picked up steam, we ran into a solitary Canada goose coming out of the tunnel. We were a bit wary of him, as they can sometimes be pretty aggressive, but this one seemed calm enough so we kind of inched past him and ran down into the tunnel.
As we stood under cover shaking off the rain, we saw the goose had followed us into the tunnel. We thought, great ... he's come back to defend his territory or to demand food from us, and we are going to have some issues here. But no, it seems he just didn't want to get wet either – which you'd think was odd for waterfowl.
He settled down in the center of the tunnel about 3 feet away from where we were standing, and softly and near constantly chirruped to us. The cloudburst lasted about a half hour, during which we jokingly included the goose in our own conversation, since he seemed talkative.
Once the rain let up, we said goodbye to our little friend and continued our walk.
An odd sound made me look back along the path towards the tunnel, and there was the goose toddling along after us, as fast as his 8-inch legs could go. We thought it was just coincidence at first, but as we kept on walking and putting some distance in we noticed that he'd started running after us.
The lower path winds along the river, and we thought once he lost sight of us he'd also lose interest. As we rounded the first bend there was a loud squawk and we heard wings beating behind us. Surprised, we spun around and saw he was now flying straight for us, coming in low and fast.
This was when we were sure we were in for some kind of airborne goose attack – he's obviously been lulling us into a false sense of security by his prior odd but friendly behavior.
We both dove off the path to get out of his way. But the goose just landed gracefully right next to us and stood there cheerfully chirruping and shaking his head like he couldn't believe his very best friends had just left him there!
After a few seconds to get our hearts beating normally, we stepped past him and set off again ... and the goose happily followed along as well. We decided that as long as he was going to be our walking buddy, he needed a name – and of course it was going to be Maverick. (At least it should be obvious to anyone steeped in 80's pop culture.)
Every time Maverick felt we had gotten too far away from him (or just had a need for speed), he'd take a short flight to catch up to us before resuming his waddle. It was kind of surreal ... but after all who doesn't want to be a Disney character having all manner of happy wildlife following you around?
We were amazed by his persistence, especially when yet another rain squall broke over us and we had to head for shelter again ... this time running to the field house near the trailhead in River View Park. But he stayed near us for the next 20 minutes, patiently waiting out the storm by the picnic tables. At this point it was a distance of a bit over a quarter mile from the tunnel, which was pretty far for a goose to walk, so he was probably good with a rest.
Once again the rain cleared and had a two and a quarter mile hike back to our truck at the opposite parking lot. Once again, we thought Maverick would have tired of this game, but no – he kept following us for the next two miles, using his waddle-run-fly procedure to keep up.
We grew quite fond of Maverick over the next half hour ... and afraid of what was going to happen when we did reach the truck. After all, he wasn't a cat or a dog that we could possibly adapt into our household – this was a goose! We could imagine all kinds of scenarios in which Maverick flew alongside, or even sadder ran his little heart out chasing down the road after the truck as we drove away.
As it happened, about a quarter mile from the parking lot the skies really opened up in a massive storm, with literally blinding rain and thunder & lightning directly overhead. Immediately soaked to the skin, we took off running, losing track of Maverick.
We took our time once inside the truck toweling off as best we could and changing into what drier clothes we had, but we didn't see Maverick come out of the woods. We can only hope that he wisely took shelter under the bushes rather than take his chances crossing the open field in that storm.
Two days later, we are still marveling about our erstwhile hiking buddy, and what turned out to be a bizarre and wonderful day out on the trail.


text: I don't think there was a "turning point" in the sense of a single event. IMO, the tide turned irreversibly against Germany by the late Summer of 1943. The resources wasted at Kursk could have been used to much greater effect on the strategic defense after Stalingrad. Granted, that's in hindsight and does not take into account any psychological or economic factors.

MORE: See all of MassLive's Hoophall coverage
By RON CHIMELIS
SPRINGFIELD - The University of Massachusetts men's basketball program had a good day Sunday, and the Minutemen didn't even play.
Coach Derek Kellogg had a chance to look at two of his signed recruits, and generally he liked what he saw from Sampson Carter and Freddie Riley in the Hoophall Classic.
"Like anything with high school kids, they did some good things, and they showed some areas they have to work on," Kellogg said at Springfield College.
|Champlain - Hargrave
"I'm excited about coaching them. They need to prepare themselves physically and mentally, but they've already handled some of the mental part because they're living away from home."
Carter scored 19 points with four rebounds in The Winchendon School's 81-70 victory over Patterson (N.C.).
The 6-foot-8 forward shot 7 for 16, and came up with some key baskets in the second half, after Patterson had erased a 10-point halftime deficit to lead briefly.
The 6-5 Riley scored 12 points in Hargrave Military Academy's 91-57 victory over Champlain-St. Lambert of Quebec, Canada. He shot 5 for 14.
Champlain-St. Lambert, which was already on a New England trip, was a last-minute replacement for Brewster (N.H.) Academy, which could not make it to Springfield because of the snow.
Riley and Carter will enter UMass in September. Riley, a native of Ocala, Fla., is doing a postgraduate year at the academy in Chatham, Va.
Riley is the more acclaimed recruit, but Carter put up the better numbers Sunday.
"I love to play in transition. I think I'll fit in well at UMass," Carter said.
He is the brother of UMass player personnel director Shyrone Chatman.
Tall, athletic lean, Carter showed he was willing to drive to the basket.
"I call him a face-up 4 (power forward)," said Winchendon coach Mike Byrnes, who played at UMass. "He's still learning what he does well."
"I want him to become the next Dana Dingle, to be hungry and defend and play with passion," said Byrnes, recalling a 1990s UMass star. "He can be a difference maker."
"I want to get better at defense, work on my foot speed and most of all, get stronger," Carter said. "I love going into the weight room, and I'm starting to see results."
Carter is averaging 13 points, five rebounds and four assists on a team where playing time is shared by the entire roster, leaving Carter with a modest 23 minutes per game.
He weighs 218 pounds, up 18 since the fall, and would like to get to 235.
"Like Carter, Riley is working on defense and conditioning.
"I think I can come to UMass and contribute immediately," he said. "I think I can play good defense, and give them a guard who can shoot and play hard."
Riley attended Saturday's UMass victory over Temple.
"I got to talk to the team after the game," he said. "I can't wait to be on campus and be able to start contributing.
"I got to see the Hall of Fame and a lot of good players in this tournament. It was a good weekend."

Denver Nuggets fans have endured months of trade rumors, post-trade declarations of irrelevance and more recently, some exciting and inspiring basketball. It was all prelude to this. The Denver Nuggets will match up with division rival Oklahoma City in the first round of the 2011 NBA Playoffs.
The two teams faced off twice last week that saw some heated moments between big men Nene and Kendrick Perkins and some bad blood brewing with Kenyon Martin and Serge Ibaka. Raymond Felton has gone on record of saying he wanted to clash with the Thunder because they talk a lot of trash and he wants some payback.
Whether the series lasts four games or seven, it is going to be physical and intense. Of course, this is the playoffs and it should not be any other way.
There may be more at stake in this series than who advances to the conference semifinals to face the Spurs (sorry Grizz fans), the Nuggets have a chance to rewrite, or at least amend, some long held theories on how to construct a contender.
The conventional wisdom is that a team must have at least two Hall of Fame caliber players on the roster to win a championship. The Nuggets just plowed through 25 games of their season with a team built around no all-stars, let alone Hall of Famers, and did so with the scoring margin of a 65 win team. Most 65 win teams are considered title contenders so even though that production came in less than one third of the season, Denver certainly appears to be a team deserving of respect.
A corollary of the first theory regarding the need to have more than one Hall of Famer on your roster to challenge for a championship it has been well reasoned that a team needs a closer in the playoffs in order to earn victories in tight contests. To borrow a baseball phrase, the Nuggets employee a closer by committee. More often than not they have found a player capable of carrying the offense down the stretch whether it be Ty Lawson, Raymond Felton, Danillo Gallinari or even Al Harrington who got the job done against the Spurs late in March.
The next theory Denver has a chance to remand is that players must have defined roles and know how many minutes they will play. The Nuggets do have some defined roles, but their depth allows George Karl the flexibility to play matchups or ride the hot hand. That goes hand in hand with another theory that depth may be a great asset in the regular season, but it provides little help in the playoffs.
The reasons why depth is devalued in the postseason is there is plenty of time to rest between games so players can play more minutes and coaches want their best players to be on the court as much as possible. The Nuggets defy that logic in that they do not have two or three players who are head and shoulders better than everyone else game in and game out. I suspect George Karl may limit minutes to players who do not matchup well or are struggling against Oklahoma City, but harkening back to the fact that Denver does not necessarily know who will be carrying them in the fourth quarter, Karl must give everyone a few minutes to see what they will bring to the table that night. You can count on Ty Lawson, Raymond Felton, Wilson Chandler, Danillo Gallinari, Arron Afflalo (if healthy), Nene, Kenyon Martin and Birdman to all play significant minutes. Plus J.R. Smith must be on the floor because you never know when he is going to drop 20 points in 20 minutes and Timofey Mozgov has the size Denver needs to combat the Thunders' bigs. And oh by the way, Al Harrington did not do well against the Thunder in either of the late season matchups, but he will certainly get some minutes here or there as well.
All of these theories suggest that Denver is almost the exact opposite of every other contender over the previous thirty seasons. As great as they have been after the trade, experience tells us they are most likely going to get bounced in the first round, or at latest the second, by a team who fits these qualities.
On the other hand, few teams that have experienced the level of regular season success as Denver has over the last 25 games of the season have gone on to be a playoff also ran. I have no idea what will happen. What I do know is we are in for some good basketball that may be revolutionary.
Odds and Ends
The schedule for the first round series between the Nuggets and Thunder will be as follows (all times Mountain, games 5-7 if necessary):
|Game 1
|Sunday, April 17
|at Oklahoma City
|Game 2
|Wednesday, April 20
|at Oklahoma City
|Game 3
|Saturday, April 23
|at Denver
|Game 4
|Monday, April 25
|at Denver
|Game 5
|Wednesday, April 27
|at Oklahoma City
|Game 6
|Friday, April 29
|at Denver
|Game 7
|Sunday, May 1
|at Oklahoma City
Make sure you check out Daily Thunder, run by Royce Young, one of the best NBA bloggers out there and Welcome to Loud City for the Thunder angle on the upcoming proceedings. Of course for more Nuggets coverage check out Denver Stiffs and Nugg Love. Obviously the Denver Post is the best source for news and writers Benjamin Hochman and Chris Dempsey had a very interesting chat today.
Of course, keep coming back to RMC as we will throw as much analysis as we can at you over the next few days, and hopefully the next few weeks as the Nuggets implement their non star revolution and plow through the 2011 NBA Playoffs.

Stevie Hyper D (Stephen Austin) was born in London, England on the 20th of September 1967 to a Spanish mother and Barbadian father. He died on the 5th of July, 1998 (30 years old) of a fatal bloodclot possibly attributed to deep vein thrombosis after a long international tour.
Stevie was brought up all his life in Fulham (West London) in a multicultural and vibrant community. His musical and artistic talent shone through from the start being involved in a variation of styles following the evolution of Reggae to Hip Hop to Acid House to Hardcore and of course to Jungle and Drum & Bass. His can still be felt today with UK Garage and Grime artists often citing him as a major influence in their careers. The versatility of Hyper D would be the major factor in why just one artist has managed to touch so many different styles, with live performances at many events seeing Stevie jump from a Hip Hop to a Ragga flow at a flick of a switch, or even singing over tracks at will.
By the mid to late 90's, the general consensus was that he had reached the tip of the Drum & Bass MC tree so the natural progression was to move in to a studio environment again. Having dabbled previously with the track 'Teknoragga' by Apollo 440 it was time to write and record a full on studio vibed album. He teamed up with DJ Lynx to form Dfrnt Lvls and their album 'The Next Step' was signed to the heavy hitting label Island Records - the FIRST Drum & Bass artist to get signed to a non-underground label. In a hectic era and short space of time Stevie had managed to get signed, record his vocals down, battle it out with the rising MC Skibadee to keep his place at the top of the underground Drum & Bass MC scene and, tragically, pass away. Music lovers everywhere mourned the loss such an exciting talent, and it is scary to try and comprehend just how far he would have gone in the music industry if he was still around today. However, it must be remembered that when he passed away, a father, son, brother, uncle, cousin and friend was also lost forever.

Cumberland County Wolfpack bantam player Frank Powers gets tackled during the 2010 fall football season. File photo
AMHERST - A young, fledgling Wolfpack was introduced to Cumberland County last year and, if the latest numbers are any indication, the pack is proving to be robust.
"We have a lot more kids out," Cumberland Minor Football president and coach, Travise Dowe, said. "We have 40 new players on the team, which is just spectacular.
"The challenge right now is making sure we have enough coaches for the amount of kids because, potentially, we could have almost 100 children involved in the football team this year," Dowe added.
Cumberland County Wolfpack football started from scratch in the spring of 2010 and began their 2011 training sessions a month ago throughout the county.
"We've done eight sessions so far and every session we added new kids to the team," Dowe said. "There hasn't been one night where we haven't added at least one new kid to the team."

GRAND RAPIDS – Two ArtPrize 2011 artists, showing their work at Fountain Street Church, have been awarded $1,000 cash prizes in a contest co-sponsored by the American Civil Liberties Union.
The West Michigan chapter of the ACLU and the church joined together to organize an exhibition on the theme "Art and Civil Liberty" as part of ArtPrize 2011.
Artists Dominic Sansone, of St. Charles, Ill., and Brad VanderMoere, of Grand Rapids, were honored Wednesday evening with awards from among the 21 entries on display by artists from five U.S. states at Fountain Street Church, 24 Fountain St. NE.
'Art and Civil Liberty'
What: Panel Discussion
When 7 p.m. Friday
Where: Fountain Street Church, 24 Fountain St. NE
Free admission: For more information, call the church at 459-8386
The two $1,000 Best of Show prizes were awarded to artists whose work best exemplifies the moral imperatives espoused by Fountain Street Church and its 2011 ArtPrize partner, the Western Michigan Chapter of the ACLU.
The West Michigan Chapter of the ACLU honored Sansone for his installation titled "Brand New God," a group of oil-painted urethane plastic figures bowing before a gold-leaf replica of an AK-47 rifle.
"My installation represents the subject of violence and the role each of us play in this endless cycle of barbarity," Sansone said.
Fountain Street's Social Action Committee awarded a prize to VanderMoere for his whimsical oil painting titled "We's Goin' to Washington." The five-foot by four-foot painting depicts VanderMoere's interpretation of the current climate and political landscape.
"We see political figures who are joined as a human train on the golden pathway to the Capitol in Washington, D.C." said VanderMoere. "Join the train. The line forms in the rear."
According to the church's exhibition statement, the Art and Civil Liberty theme presents an opportunity for artists to be both creative and compelling across the spectrum of social justice and civil liberty issues.
The installation addresses diverse topics including, immigration, spousal abuse, civil rights, slavery, freedom of religion, politics, gay rights and child abuse.
Artists from Michigan, Illinois, Indiana, New Jersey and Florida are part of the show at Fountain Street Church, open through the duration of ArtPrize ending Oct. 9.

(The Root) — This image is part of a weekly series that The Root is presenting in conjunction with the Image of the Black in Western Art Archive at Harvard University's W.E.B. Du Bois Institute for African and African American Research.
By the mid-19th century, the fine arts were playing an important role in shaping the self-image of America. A key example is War News From Mexico, painted by the Baltimore artist Richard Caton Woodville. It was exhibited at the American Art-Union in New York in 1849 to great acclaim, then distributed across the country as a large-edition print.
Only the title reveals the cause of the excitement in the painting. The newspaper held by the central figure on the porch has brought important though undisclosed news about the war then being fought between the United States and Mexico. The dramatic reading takes place on the simple, somewhat dilapidated porch of a local gathering place, identified by the sign on the gable as the "American Hotel." Metaphorically, this building represents the United States, a sheltering, though often dysfunctional, nexus of politics, camaraderie and dissent.
Off the porch to one side are a seated black man and a young black girl, presumably the man's daughter. The plain working clothes of the man and the pathetically tattered dress of the girl are indicative of life at a barely subsistence level. While at rest, they have been distracted by the commotion on the porch. They listen attentively but impassively as the news is received by its intended audience.
The ambiguous social and legal status of the black man and child at this crucial point in the country's history is signaled by their position in the painting. On the one hand, they are foregrounded in the space closest to the viewer and are illuminated by the same strong light that so clearly reveals the reactions of the white men assembled on the porch.
On the other hand, they are excluded from the dense knot of activity, attentive to the news but relegated to the status of powerless observers. The black man and child form a cohesive group that offers a powerful commentary on the reactions of the figures above them. The red, white and blue of their clothes may allude to the crisis of slavery in the United States.
The men on the porch represent the response in microcosm of the entire nation of white, enfranchised males to the deeply divisive issue of the Mexican-American War. Many saw it as a divinely sanctioned opportunity to achieve the country's ultimate destiny within the vast continent, while others feared the spread of slavery that such westward expansion would inevitably bring.
The reserved, not to say complacent, response of the black figures in the right foreground to the news instills a sense of foreboding in the scene. The effect is one of the "calm before the storm," a cataclysm whose fateful course had already been irrevocably set.

While there is no proven correlation between the quality of one's educational institution and the quality of one's professional competence, it is often an indicator. Medical schools have various levels of selectivity (some are harder to get into than others), and both the quality of their clinical training and level of research are measured. Additional medical training in both residency and fellowships and the facilities they are conducted at also provide a history of the doctors' level of training and experience.
