Charlotte Craig Does Not Advance to Olympic Repechage
After losing her quarterfinal match of the Olympic Games on Wednesday to Venezuela's Dalia Contreras Rivero, 3-2, flyweight Charlotte Craig (Murietta, Calif.), 17, was forced to play a two-hour waiting game to see if she would qualify for the repechage round and a chance for a bronze medal. But when Contreras Rivero lost on a referee superiority decision in the semifinals to Thailand's Butree Puedpong, after the two fought a scoreless overtime period, Craig was eliminated from the competition.
"I figured her strategy was to wait for me and my game is to be aggressive," said Craig of her quarterfinal match with Contreras Rivero."My problem was that she got the first point so I had to push it."
Craig was obviously disappointed with the day's outcome, saying she was more nervous waiting around for the chance at the repechage than she was competing in the ring, but she carries with her an Olympic Games experience.
"I'm just happy I got a chance to represent my country," Craig said.
Taekwondo competition continues on Thursday with featherweights Diana and Mark Lopez (Sugar Land, Texas) in action for the U.S. Diana's first match is at 10:00 a.m. (Wednesday 10:00 p.m. EDT) against Thailand's Premwaew Chonnapas, while Mark Lopez faces Afghanistan's Nesar Ahmad Behave at 11:30 a.m. (Wednesday 11:30 p.m. EDT) in the first round.
All matches can be seen live at www.NBCOlympics.com.

The main goals of the workshop were to assess the impacts of land-use change and climate change on nomadic pastoralist and their adaptation options and opportunities, comparing reindeer herders in the Arctic taiga (boreal forest of Far East Russia and Mongolia) and reindeer herders in Lapland.
The main output of the workshop is a draft for a new assessment report on climate change, land use change and other external factors affecting reindeer and yak husbandry, vulnerability and resilience/adaption, and existing knowledge systems for ecosystem management.
The new report will feature maps and graphic that were discussed with the participants during the workshop as well as photos from the region. The report is intended to be launched in the autumn of 2011.
This project supports the UNEP Programme of Work 2010-2011 under Project 3: Ecosystem-based Adaptation support and is linked to the International Polar Year (IPY) project EALÁT-Network Study (IPY id #399).
The overall intentions of this project are to increase global, regional and local awareness and knowledge of the challenges faced by of nomadic herders due to climate change and loss of pastures, including policy recommendations for improved rangeland management, economic development and capacity building.
More information on the Nomadic Herders project can be found on the project page.

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Las Vegas police now say an overnight shooting was in a parking structure outside a Las Vegas Strip movie theater, and it left two people critically wounded and one person with a minor injury.
Officer Laura Meltzer says gunfire erupted just after midnight Wednesday when two groups that knew each other squared off in the elevator lobby of the parking structure near the UA Showcase Theater.
Meltzer says the shooting wasn't in the theater or theater lobby, as was previously reported.
One of the most seriously wounded men was found in the parking elevator lobby and the other in an elevator on the fifth floor.
Both are in critical condition.
Meltzer says it's not clear how many shooters there were but multiple shots were fired.

Dell, one of the world's largest makers of personal computers, has announced that it would install flash-based solid state drives into select laptops in order to ensure that those machines have lighter weight and higher durability.
"A solid state drive is an excellent storage technology for our mobile users. We are committed to leading the industry in delivering these new drives and will offer them across Dell's next generation of Latitude products," said Kevin Kettler, chief technology officer at Dell.
Dell said that it is offering a 1.8" 32GB solid state drive (SSD) from SanDisk on certain Latitude D420 ultra-mobile and D620 ATG semi-rugged notebooks. The company is one the first to offer a flash-based drive as an alternative to hard disk drives (HDD) on corporate notebooks.
A SSD is a hard drive alternative based on flash memory. Unlike a traditional HDD which uses spinning discs and read/write heads, a SSD is designed with flash memory with no moving parts. The new drive has the same shape and size as a HDD and uses the same connectors for integration into existing systems.
According to Dell, engineering tests show that the SSD has an operating shock tolerance of up to 1300Gs, which is twice the rating of mechanical drives. . In addition, the drives are predicted to reduce the probability of failure by three-and-one-half times compared to standard mechanical drives. The new drives can also increase system performance by up to 23% and decreases boot time by up to 34% compared to traditional HDDs available with the Latitude D420 and D620 ATG.

The Mt. Juliet Police Department is now officially in its new home.
Located at 1019 Charlie Daniels Parkway, the Police Department finished their transition to the new building Tuesday, July 1 when they moved the Emergency Communications Center to the new building. The move happened over two weeks.
"We are excited to be in our new home, which was renovated to better-serve our community," said Police Chief James Hambrick. "Our new headquarters is something our community can truly be proud of."
The location is the former Joy Church property which the City purchased earlier this year. Joy Church is now located at the corner of Lebanon Road and Benders Ferry Road. The move freed up space for not only the Police Department, but also City Hall, which took over the area where the Police Department had been located.
The new building allowed for additional offices, larger evidence storage room, secure armory, additional interview rooms, locker room for officers, fitness room for police employees, larger courtroom, larger training room, better foot-traffic pattern and updated security features.
"It is such a major change from where we were. In the history of our department, we never had our own place to call home," stated Police Captain Michael Mullins. "We've endured a lot of long, hot days moving in, but everybody was grinning with excitement."
The Police Department still has a few things to finish before a ribbon cutting will be held Friday, July 18. Coffee With a Cop will begin at 7 a.m. and a ribbon cutting will be held at 9 a.m. The public will be able to tour the new facility.

Solomon's New Book Full of Hysteria, (Imagined) Persecution, and Fraud
Despite the uncertainties, there is general agreement that the observed warming is real and particularly strong within the past 20 years.
Climate Change Science: An Analysis of Some Key Questions
National Academy of Sciences, 2001
I am afraid you won't find that quote in within the pages of Lawrence Solomon's new book, The Deniers: The World-Renowned Scientists Who Stood Up Against Global Warming Hysteria, Political Persecution, and Fraud (and those who are too fearful to do so).
Nope, as the world's longest book title suggests, Solomon is not the least interested in considering a climate consensus - and if that means that he has to cherry-pick quotes, misrepresent data, cut off graphs before their curves become inconvenient and blithely ignore the logical inconsistencies in his own arguments, well, Solomon seems not to mind.
In fairness, though, he comes clean very early in the book (on Page 6, actually) and admits that the whole exercise is a parlor game, a work of sophistry. It all began because he was trying to impress some visiting Chinese environmentalists with the vigor of the environmental debate in North America. So he challenged a friend to "name three climate-change areas that he felt were settled. … I told him if he identified the areas of expertise, I would find a credible dissenting scientist in each."
Though I can't believe anyone would have set up some of the silly points Solomon examines as the most settled in climate science, Solomon set off nevertheless to find any dissent and to write about his findings in a periodic column in the National Post. He later parlayed that series into this book.
The problem is that Solomon's "deniers" don't actually deny climate change. They quibble about the details. They criticize Michael Mann's now entirely dated hockey stick graph. They argue about snow temperatures in Antarctica, but they all still allow - what's the phrase? - that observed warming is real and particularly strong in the last 20 years.
Solomon even says so. He says that while reflecting on his own research, "I … noticed something striking about my growing cast of deniers. None of them were deniers."
If you ask me how someone could make that concession on page 45 and then string the book out to page 213 (not counting footnotes), I have to say that I am still suffering some confusion. And all of it intentional, I am convinced.
Solomon has rounded up the usual suspects and reveled in the usual arguments. He has cherry-picked quotes like this, from the above-reference National Academy of Sciences report:
"Because there is considerable uncertainty in current understanding of how the climate system varies naturally and reacts to emissions of greenhouse gases and aerosols, current estimates of the magnitude of future warming should be regarded as tentative and subject to future adjustments (either upward or downward)."
Fair enough, the magnitude (if not the inevitability) of future warming is debatable. But Solomon follows that quote with this hysterical analysis:
"The press's spin? CNN, in language typical of other reportage, stated that it (the National Academy of Sciences report) represented 'a unanimous decision that global warming is real, is getting worse, and is due to man. There is no wiggle room.'"
Click on the link at the top and I think you'll find that CNN's reporting was accurate. "Real and getting worse" was the conclusion that was reported to President George W. Bush at the time, and while the White House was officially unhappy, they didn't challenge the finding.
But Solomon does. Using graphs that tend to end between 1980 and 2000, and throwing his lot in with the likes of Bob (Global-Warming-Ended-in-1998) Carter, Solomon adds brick upon brick to what remains a very low wall separating the purveyors of doubt from an overwhelming tide of agreement.
But, again, Solomon doesn't make excuses for creating a phony balance between his handful of quibblers and the overwhelming scientific concern about climate change. He says: "… our job is not to settle which side is right but simply to demonstrate that there is a debate, a vigorous and serious one."
So, he quotes Carter saying this: "There is almost universal agreement (my emphasis) that significant carbon dioxide increases – human caused or otherwise – will cause gentle* planetary warming."
And, then later, Solomon concludes, "… our mission is accomplished. Knowing what we know now it is not possible to believe that the science is settled or that there is a scientific "consensus" for the doomsayer view of global warming."
The best part of Solomon's book is the last chapter, in which he suddenly starts to make sense (not counting a bizarre analogy between economics and science).
First, Solomon explains his motive for clinging so desperately to some notion of doubt about climate change: he has spent most of his adult life as a self-styled environmentalist, campaigning against nuclear energy and against the ravages of big hydro electric projects. Once he brought it up, I started to remember the incredibly good work that his organization, Energy Probe, did in the 1990s on the Three Gorges dam** in China.
Now, with fossil-fuel-sourced carbon dioxide identified as the overarching environmental threat, nuclear and mega-hydro projects are back on the front burner. Even people who consider themselves ardent environmentalists – frontrunners in the vegan Birkenstock crowd – are looking at those alternatives with a more open mind. And Solomon's life work seems to be slipping away.
You have to be sympathetic.
Solomon also makes some very good points about the fresh batch of stupid decisions that are being made or justified on the basis of climate change. His attack on bio-fuels seems entirely reasonable. His condemnation of carbon credit trading scams is equally defensible. And his oddly contrarian call for the removal of "all the overt and hidden subsidies to road users, industries, and energy producers" is downright laudable.
That said, this book is nothing more than a gift to the denial industry, a clumsy favor to the oil-entrenched lobbyists who will do anything to slow our response to an issue that has given rise to a very convincing consensus.
Solomon says there are quibblers. He's right. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change says there is a 90+ per cent possibility that global warming endangers the world as we know it. And on the central question, even Solomon's selection of contrarian scientists won't deny it.
If there is evidence of "fraud" in this book, it's all in the title. Solomon should be a little embarrassed for having brought it up.
*Doesn't Bob Carter's use of the word "gentle planetary warming" make you feel better? And isn't it creepy to think that a more honest sentence would have read, "gentle and cumulative planetary warming"?
** Solomon's report of "fifty-meter-high waves" in the Three Gorges reservoir is, I have to assume, a typo.

Careful Ian, you're head is
Careful Ian, you're head is going to explode. ;) For the record, at no time have I said the earth is cooling.
… using all data except the spurious float profiles (thick dashed line) suggests much less
cooling, only about 14 ´ 1021 J.
The report confirms cooling in the oceans. This is after correcting for the erroneous data in the ARGO data. XBT data may still have integrity issues but that is another matter.
As I did say previously ARGO data will become increasingly important as they years progress and the system is improved. Now don't let your AGW-induced rage get the best of you Ian.

Trying to pin Paul S/G down is impossible
Paul S/G you are one of the worst deniers on this site. Everything you say is straight out of the denier handbook of obfuscation, misinterpretation, misrepresentation and down right lies when it suits you.
As for your lies, you started off this thread with the following: "Another issue which the press has been silent on is the results from the world-class pioneering Argo ocean temperature monitoring system. Initial results show no warming, in fact a slight cooling, of the world's oceans over the last 4 years". In fact, if you had read the report I cited you would see that Willis says: "This 'Argo-only' estimate shows no significant warming or cooling between 2004 and 2006, with an INCREASE of only 1 (± 16) x 10e21 J during this period". He didn't say that it was "cooling" as you stated above. To me you are deliberately misinterpreting what has been said. That is a LIE.
You are a low life two-faced weasel in your postings here. You rarely give references and rarely answer questions. You only blow your foul smelling smoke into the faces of the honest posters on this site.
You are a despicable person.

Coming from a sanctimonious
Coming from a sanctimonious windbag such as yourself Ian, I can take your words as a compliment.
And time for you to e-mail Josh Willis and call him a liar:
"There has been a very slight cooling, but not anything really significant," - Josh Willis
(Sounds of Ian's raging head exploding heard in the background) :P

Paul cites a transcript with no back up
Well Paul, that quote that you cite is completely meaningless since we have no context for the quote. It is useless as a scientific quote. We don't know when he said it and we don't know which data set he is referring to (there are at least three data sets in the paper I quoted). He has a number of papers out recently, all saying different things but the more recent ones show that the good ARGO data shows a very slight warming.
Willis is quite worried (as are a number of other scientists about the conflicting results from three new methods of observing changes. These are GRACE, ARGO and surface sea level measurements by satellite altimetry. The sea level rise has been consistent over the past many years (measured by two different methods). The rise is a combination of a number of factors but glacial melt (determined by GRACE) and ocean warming are the dominant factors.
How can sea level continue to rise if the ocean temps are decreasing? There are a number of ways to rationalize this but the obvious ones are: 1. glacial melt is much larger than thought, 2. the oceans are not cooling. Further work is needed but the history of ARGO would suggest that that is the most likely area for further errors in either measurements or calibration.
John Cook says: "Willis 2008 [Willis, J. K., D. P. Chambers and R. Steven Nerem, 2008: Assessing the Globally Averaged Sea Level Budget on Seasonal and Interannual Time Scales. Journal of Geophysical Research-Oceans (in press)] speculates that there is most likely a systematic error in at least one of the three observing systems which is introducing a linear trend".
Two out of three agree with increase in global temps, one does not, which are you willing to bet on?

Well, well, well, what
Well, well, well, what happened to your "Liar, liar, pants on fire" rhetoric? As I said all along, Josh Willis said what I said he did. Do your research next time before shooting off at the mouth Ian.
Well Paul, that quote that you cite is completely meaningless since we have no context for the quote. It is useless as a scientific quote.
Take it up with Josh Willis. He said it. It's scientifically useful, a scientist said it based on the most up to date data. Your proclamation of uselessness is made because it does not fit your preconceived worldview.
Two out of three agree with increase in global temps, one does not, which are you willing to bet on?

I follow the science
Paul S/G you convince no-one with your drivel and lack of expertise. How do you explain an increase in volume of the oceans with the fact that you are saying they are cooling.
If you read what Willis has written (and not to what some radio programme says he said) and can pinpoint the time that he says it you will see that he cannot explain it either so one or more of the systems used must be in error.
Obviously the two are incompatible unless you know of some previously undiscovered "new physics".
You are totally incompetent about most things but science in particular.

Ian Forrester replied on Permalink
You are the one being dishonest
The only quote you have from Willis is that ridiculous transcript from NPR. There is no context, no date saying when he made that comment, no way we know what curve or data he is discussing.
Science is based on FACTS, which are well documented and have a well established provenance. Pulling quotes out of the air is not science but just typical denier obfuscation and denial.
You are a useless joke.
Ian Forrester
Paul S replied on Permalink
NPR is a reputable
NPR is a reputable organization. Willis did say the oceans are cooling. The article is from March 2008.
Science is based on facts, and according to the expert Willis, the oceans have cooled slightly.
It's not the end of the world Ian if the oceans have cooled a little bit. You'll survive you know.
Ian Forrester replied on Permalink
But your dishonesty has to be flagged everytime it appears
The radio broadcast or what ever may have occurred on March 2008. What you can't say is that is when Willis made the comment. The interview, if in fact there was an interview, could have taken place a long time ago, before October 2007 when the problems with the ARGO divers was first communicated to the users. There is no context as I explained above. Simple comments taken without providing the context and data to which they refer are absolutely meaningless in the real world. Such things exist in your perverse view of reality no doubt, but everyone here I'm sure knows what your idea of reality is by now.
You are simply pathetic in the verbal diarrhea that you use to try and justify your position. It is a joke.
Try reading some proper scientific papers, not denier edited rubbish which is all you seem to be able to quote.

I don't remember stating any intent to "prattle on about how thin ice might be" unless you're talking about how thin the ice is under Solomon's slippery feet.
As to the "denier" thing, I still don't get the part where Solomon uses the word "denier" as the centerpiece of his tendentious title and then denies the accuracy of it in his own text - and then you say that's MY fault because, by your definition of how I use the word, Solomon was right all along.
If your argument rests on the ability to redefine MY terms, I'd suggest that you're on thin ice, as well.
To be cynical, perhaps he
To be cynical, perhaps he thinks the word "deniers" will sell books?

Richard, I didn't mean to
Richard, I didn't mean to imply that you personally would "prattle" on about thin ice. It was more an attempt to preempt alarmist warmers who I knew would pounce on ice thickness to disavow the sea ice cover anomaly in the southern hemisphere.
The real thin ice is the overuse of the denier term. Why Solomon is using that term is beyond me also.

What if the magnitude is
What if the magnitude is something close to zero or utterly subordinate to natural forcings? Wouldn't that be a reason not to starve Africa with biofuels and tell them to eat green cake?
Richard Littlemore replied on Permalink
We're past zero already...
… we don't disagree on biofuels. You clearly didn't read the Academy of Science Report. And our profound failure to make any effort to help the people in Africa has nothing whatever to do with your apparent campaign to deny an obvious and problematic bit of science.
Don't give me the Bjorn Lomborg malarkey about wasting money on climate change that you would otherwise spend on lifting up the poor and oppressed. The US government spends more in a week on the war in Iraq than it spends in a whole year fighting malaria or AIDS in Africa.
This argument isn't about social justice; it's about Exxon and General Motors making money. Solomon should know better.

Biofuel production has only
Biofuel production has only a minor if insignificant decrease in greenhouse gas emissions. 1% decrease in Canada, (Government of Canada) Biofuel production is due to ever shrinking supplies of fuel, replacement of cancer causing fuel additives, and removing middle eastern oil sources from the fuel equation (ie energy independance) thus any arguments that frame biofuels as being evironmentally movitated to decrease greenhouse gas emissions are quite off the mark. Even the goverment of Canada claims in their offical policy that the primary use of biofuels is to suppliment fossil fuel consumption not reduce greenhouse gas emissions to any significant degree.
In addition world food supplies/reserves have been shrinking for the past 20 years, which has nothing to do with biofuels. Increased consumption due to increases in Indian and Chinease standard of living, poor distribution systems, crop failure, increasing world populations etc are the most significant contributers to that problem.

I was wrong
I thought a review of this book would be a waste of time. Thank you, Richard, for changing my mind. As someone who studied effects of the Treaty dams on fish populations, I have a lot of trouble with promotion of hydroelectric energy over other sources. I'm still working on figuring out exactly where I stand on that.
Richard Littlemore replied on Permalink
Damn dams
Yeah, it's a difficult area.
And I am quite sincere in saying that Solomon's mob at Energy Probe did excellent work, both on hydro and nuclear. I was writing blistering Three Gorges Dam editorials at the Vancouver Sun in the early 1990s largely on the strength of EProbe's research and activism. Credit where credit's due.
So, I'd be quick for forgive Solomon for being conflicted. But the disingenuousness of his National Post work and the shameful pandering to the denier community that he does here is another story.
We have some difficult issues to work out here and it would be best if the smart folks in the crowd turned their attention to thinking about the best solutions. Solomon has chosen instead to tackle the problem like a first-year philosophy student who thinks it's all a game.
The problem being: if he wins; we all lose.
Harold Pierce replied on Permalink
The simple reason there are a lot of so-called deniers is that the vast majority (like maybe 99%) of the world's people are born, live, die and are buried at at the place of their birth. And they have probably experienced little if any climate change, that is to say, a significant change in the pattern of weather in their lifetimes.
Richard, here is a project that you just can't refuse.
DeSmogBlog.com should lease a fully-loaded motorhome with all the latest hi-tech telecommunication stuff and send you on tour during this summer to the rural areas of Canada where you can interview the really old timers and First Nation elders about climate change. You could send use us videos of the interviews which we can watch on our computers. There is no limit on the company credit card!
Wouldn't it be nice to be on a Canadian safari for summertime?
Troll replied on Permalink
How Ironic
How Ironic would that be.
The CO2 alarmists out on a cross country trek in a CO2 beltching motorhome to talk to people about the changes in climate they have seen in the tiny, insignifigant little clip of time that they remember.
Climate trends are only signifigant over LONG periods of time. Many hudreds of years.
The two (identical) little upswings in the 20th century (1880 to 1940 and 1979 to 1998) are just two little lumps in an otherwise downward trend line that began 8000 years ago.
It is just sooooo funny to see so many people pretending that our little clip of time is segnifigant.
When oh when will sanity return to scinece?
Richard Littlemore replied on Permalink
Count me in ...
… if this is your credit card.
We'd have to find some kind of a green motorhome, as well, which could be a challenge.
I think the old timers in the Arctic would have interesting stories to tell. So would the folks across the prairies, where they have effectively cancelled winter in the form where it was once common (weeks of unbroken minus 30 temperatures).
It's harder to see the variation here on the West Coast, because moderation is the order of the day, but in consideration of our U.s. audience, it would be good to head south south into the droughtlands; you'd probably hear some interesting stories there. The folks in fire country around my father-in-law's Washington State ranch all say really interesting things about the weather now, compared to when they were kids.
I could cut through Yellowstone and see where the geysers used to be faithful (perhaps not a climate change issue, but a reflections of action in the water table). Personally, I have always wanted to drive a diagonal across the continental U.S., tracking down to New Orleans, but all you'd hear there is purely anecdotal stuff about some one-off hurricane that no one could ever prove has anything to do with climate change.
Up the East Coast is a nice drive. I could stop in Kentucky and see the nice flatlands whence Mr. Peabody has removed all those pesky coal mountains. Then there's the Northeast - liberal country that I'd probably want to drive through pretty quickly. Then into the land of the ice storms - Quebec and Ontario - and the Great Lakes, in gradual retreat for one reason or another.
And so many more places, more stops along the way that I haven't even thought about. This is a wonderful suggestion. You can leave your credit card number on my email, or even phone me - I'm in the book.

Women Top Germany, Advance to Grand Prix Finals

U.S. Press Kit for FIVB World Grand Prix
Unofficial DataVolley Stats - Official FIVB Stats
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (Aug. 20, 2010) – Destinee Hooker (San Antonio, Texas) scored a match-high 20 points to lead the U.S. Women's National Volleyball Team to a 25-15, 25-18, 25-13 victory over Germany on Friday afternoon in Hong Kong during Pool G of the 18th FIVB World Grand Prix.
Team USA, now 5-2 in this year's FIVB World Grand Prix and in third place with 15 points (although two teams could move ahead based on results later today), plays Thailand on Aug. 21 (10:15 a.m. Pacific Time on Aug. 20) and China on Aug. 22 at 12:45 a.m. Pacific Time in the final weekend of preliminary round matches.
Not only did the U.S. open the third weekend of preliminary pool matches with a win, it also qualified for the FIVB Final Round to be held Aug. 25-29 in Ningbo, China, thanks to an Italian 29-27, 25-16, 25-15 victory Netherlands earlier today. Italy has a 5-2 record and 15 points in the World Grand Prix to also qualify for the Final Round. Heading into today's action, the Americans needed to defeat Germany in three or four sets and have the Italians do the same against Netherlands to earn their berth to clinch a spot in the six-team round robin FIVB World Grand Prix Final Round.
The U.S. used a 7-1 scoring run against Germany to break from an early 7-5 lead in the opening set to win 25-15. Team USA broke an 11-all tie with a 7-2 scoring run in the second set and cruised to a 25-18 victory. The Americans scored eight unanswered points to take a commanding 16-7 lead in the third set and clinched the match with a 25-13 victory.
With the victory, Team USA broke a three-match losing streak to Germany during FIVB World Grand Prix action dating back to 2009. The Germans won both meetings in 2009, along with a four-set victory on Aug. 7 in this year's event. The U.S. did defeat Germany in pool play during this year's Montreux Volley Masters event held in Switzerland.
"Our team played very well today," U.S. Women's National Team Head Coach Hugh McCutcheon (Christchurch, New Zealand) said. "We were strong in tactics and technical skills. We are making improvement from weekend to weekend. We are very happy with the victory today and it is time to get ready for tomorrow's match. The team had a strong evolution after the match against Thailand and Italy last week. Thailand is a very challenging team. They are very fast and play with a different system and combination. However, if we play strong tomorrow, we are confident that we will have a good chance to win. Winning Germany in this match is very important for us as Germany still has the chance to get into the finals."
Hooker, who is playing in her first-ever international tournament with the U.S. Women's National Team, scored her 20 points on 17 kills via 31 attacks and three blocks. Logan Tom (Salt Lake City, Utah), who was not part of the U.S. roster that played Germany in the opening weekend of the 2010 FIVB World Grand Prix, contributed eight kills on 18 attacks, four blocks and two aces for 14 points. Jordan Larson (Hooper, Neb.) chipped in eight kills on 15 errorless attacks and an ace for nine points. Heather Bown (Yorba Linda, Calif.) added four kills, one block and one ace for six points. Foluke Akinradewo (Plantation, Fla.) recorded three kills and two blocks for five points. Alisha Glass (Leland, Mich.) rounded out the scoring with two blocks, one kill and one ace for four points from her setting position.
Stacy Sykora (Burleson, Texas) topped the U.S. in digs with nine, while Larson had 23 excellent service receptions on 30 errorless attempts. Glass provided the Americans with 29 running sets on 74 attempts leading to a .409 hitting efficiency.
"Our goal is to get better individually and as a team," said Jennifer Tamas (Milpitas, Calif.), who is serving as team captain for the U.S. during the FIVB World Grand Prix. "We will try our best to have a strong week in Hong Kong."
McCutcheon started Tom and Larson at outside hitter, Akinradewo and Bown at middle blocker, Hooker at opposite and Glass at setter. Sykora was the designated libero for the match. Cynthia Barboza (Long Beach, Calif.) came as a serving specialist all three sets.
Like all seven U.S. matches in this year's World Grand Prix, the Americans held a dominating 12-3 block advantage over the Germans. Team USA also held a 5-0 advantage in aces as the service game kept Germany from running in-system most of the match. The U.S. committed just eight errors the entire match while Germany gave away 17 points on errors. Team USA converted 46.6 percent of its attacks into kills, while Germany was limited to a 36.5 kill percent and .177 hitting efficiency thanks to 18 attack errors.
Germany was led by Margareta Kozuch's 17 points, which were all on kills. Corina Ssuschke added seven kills and two of Germany's three blocks for nine points in the loss.
"Congratulations to the USA team," Germany Head Coach Guidetti Giovanni said. "They performed very well. We did not play that badly today, and have actually played better than we did in Japan. Our volleyball skill is yet to be improved, and we have to work harder to strengthen our physical condition. In order to prepare for the next match against China, we will watch videos, and one or two sets of live matches at the Coliseum. We have played against China in Russia before, we played quite well and we do hope to play even better."
During the match, the Americans were being watched by its former head coach – "Jenny" Lang Ping, who led the team to the 2008 Olympic Games silver medal in her hometown of Beijing.
In other completed matches today, Brazil (6-1, 18 points) topped Puerto Rico (1-6, 3 points) 25-18, 25-13, 25-20. In other matches today, China (4-2, 13 points) plays Thailand (1-5, 3 points) in Pool G in Hong Kong, Japan (5-1, 15 points) hosts Dominican Republic (2-4, 5 points) in Pool I at Tokyo and Chinese Taipei (0-6, 0 points) hosts Poland (5-1, 15 points) in Pool H at Taipei, Chinese Taipei.
The U.S. has not reached the FIVB World Grand Prix Final Round since 2008 when it finished fourth. It has not reached the World Grand Prix podium since bronze medal finishes in 2003 and 2004. The Americans have won the World Grand Prix in 1995 and 2001, their only other podium finishes.

Larson slammed and Bown slammed kills around a Glass block to present the Americans an 18-13 margin prompting Germany to call timeout. Germany responded with two quick points out of the break to narrow the gap to three points at 18-15. Tom and Hooker snuck in roll shot attacks for kills and Germany committed an attack error to lift the U.S. in front 21-15. Team USA reached set points at 24-17 on a Glass joust at the net. Germany saved one set point, but Hooker finished off the set with a kill at 25-18. The U.S. tallied six blocks in the second and Hooker scored a team-high eight points. Tom added six points.
The U.S. put together four unanswered points starting with two Germany errors followed by an Akinradewo block and Larson kill at 6-2. Germany trimmed the gap in half at 7-5 with consecutive points. Germany came out of the first technical timeout with consecutive points to cut the gap to one point at 8-7. Bown responded with a kill and block on consecutive plays to return the U.S. in front by three at 10-7. Out of a Germany timeout, Tom slammed two kills around a Germany error to extend the American lead to 13-7.

The U.S. lead reached 10 points at 19-9 with consecutive kills by Tom and Hooker, then Germany and two errors to give the Americans a 21-9 lead. Germany cut the gap back to 10 points at 22-12 with consecutive points. Team USA won the set with a Hooker block and Germany attack error at 25-13.

FBI thinks Keyes buried a body near Tupper Lake
TUPPER LAKE – Federal investigators anounced Wednesday that they suspect serial killer Israel Keyes was involved in the disappearance of a New Jersey woman and that he may have buried her near Tupper Lake around the time he robbed a bank there.
The FBI released a statement Wednesday afternoon saying Keyes had admitted that on April 9, 2009, he abducted a female victim from a state on the East Coast and transported her over multiple state lines into New York.
The next day, April 10, 2009, Keyes is believed to have robbed the Community Bank at Park Street and Hosley Avenue in Tupper Lake.
Investigators believe the victim of the April 9, 2009, homicide may be Debra Feldman, who lived in Hackensack, N.J., at the time of her disappearance. Feldman's body has not been recovered.
After his arrest in 2012, Keyes was charged with the murder of 17-year-old Samantha Koenig, an Anchorage barista who was kidnapped from the coffee stand where she worked. Her dismembered body was pulled from a lake north of Anchorage two months after she went missing.
Keyes later confessed to the 2011 murders of a Vermont couple and indicated to authorities there were victims in a total of 10 states.
A stash of guns, which the FBI believes he may have used to kill the Vermont couple, was found near a reservoir near Parishville, in northern New York.
Investigators believe Keyes is responsible for 11 homicides and did not know any of his victims beforehand. He told investigators he killed for the thrill of it and usually planned his murders carefully.
He was found dead of an apparent suicide in an Alaska jail cell last December.
Keyes owned property in the town of Constable, in northern Franklin County, but the FBI doesn't think Feldman is buried there.
Anyone with information about Feldman's disappearance is asked to call 1-800-225-5324.

I followed this tutorial on the DreamHost wiki site: http://wiki.dreamhost.com/Getting_Start … y_on_Rails
and the basic rails start-up page worked on my domain site.
However when I tried to upload any other app that was even slightly more complex than the "Welcome to Rails" page I got this
passenger error page :
Ruby (Rack) application could not be started
Error message: Could not find rake-10.0.3 in any of the sources (Bundler::GemNotFound)
I thought that this might be a result of me not freezing the gems to the app but when I tried to do so (following the dreamhost tutorial) I got this error message:
An error occurred while installing mysql2 (0.3.11), and Bundler cannot continue.
Make sure that `gem install mysql2 -v '0.3.11'` succeeds before bundling.
I tried various different ways of installing mysql but it didn't work.
I'm really stumped as it seems that nothing is working for me so I was hoping that someone could shed some light on the issue for me.

I was trying to understand how to use this thing for more than two months and now I can say that it doesn't do what it should do. I am really dissapointed because for others it works very well but not for me. Today was the last time when I tried it and I lost hope completely :) I will go back to cold wax stripes.

I wrote a little review on my blog about this great kit .


text: After my ride in Indy and the mechanical I suffered (being the second time I had that particular problem recently), I decided I needed to replace some worn parts…particularly my 9 yr old XTR M952 rear derailleur. It still "works", but I've had to bend the cage twice recently. It's on its last legs, I believe.

|Now searching...
quote Shmexie_x_Deoxys[A+]-I really love this sprite. It looks like a completely new pokemon, which I assume is the look you were going for since you fused 10+ pokemon. The colours work well together and the pose works nicely. My only complaint is how the shading on the purple knee-things looks about dithered(like GBA shading) with how you've arranged the pixels. Fix that though, and this sprite is perfect!
quote DarkFireEternal[B+]-First of all, welcome to neoseeker and this contest! It's always great to see new spriters entering contests. Now, if this is one of the first sprites you ever made you can be proud. At first glance, it works really well, and gives of that new pokemon feel that comes with fusing 10 pokemon. However there are some aspects holding you back from the A-grades. The main thing that bothers me here are that the sprite looks overcrowded. When I say this, I mean that there's too much going on which confuses the eye when you look at the sprite. The best way to fix this would be to get rid off Beautifly's wings, as they create most of this overcrowding problem. Secondly, I think this sprite would work better if you flipped the tail so it faces upwards and the back leg doesn't touch it. The colours you choose(primarily white, pink and green) work well together which is good. One last criticism that I have for this sprite is that the white colour needs to have more of a darker white colour for contrast as you can't really see the dark white unless you zoom in, which makes it look like one shade and consequently flat. Fix these problems, and this sprite could be on it's way to the A-grades.
quote Vast[A]-This is for the most part, a very good devamp of Snivy. There's only one shade of the main colour and you've contrasted it with white, which is good. However, the one thing stopping this from getting an A+ is how structured the outline is. If you're doing a devamp, the outline should be choppy and dotted with pixels just like the old sprites. Apart from that though, a great devamp.
quote CJames[A-]-First off, I do like this sprite and it's executed quite well as I can immediately tell that it's a ice/ground type. However, there are two things that bother me and are holding this sprite back from higher grades. Firstly, the complete lack of a mouth really bothers me. A sprite doesn't have to have a tail or patterns but it must have a mouth. Because there's no mouth I get no real facial expression which let's this sprite down. Secondly, the way you've proportioned the feet gives it a bit of an awkward pose, like it's mean to be standing on something but there's nothing there. Lastly, the body is very thin. I think that you should really make it fatter and get rid of someone of the white fur underneath it, as right now the dog looks anorexic. Apart from these problems though, a very well made sprite.
quote Shmexie_x_DeoxysIt will count as a new entry, which is acceptable because of the theme switch. This normally wouldn't be allowed but as you were the only one who put forth the effort to make an entry, I will allow it.AxeLea can i update my sprite and re-enter it?

BOSTON - Almost before Bruins coach Claude Julien had taken his seat for his news conference at TD Garden on Sunday, the question came.
"Claude, any update at all on Patrice (Bergeron)?"
The Bruins' top two-way player left a 3-1 loss in Game 5 in Chicago with an undisclosed "body" injury, and later exited the United Center altogether in an ambulance for observation at an area hospital.
"(Bergeron's) day-to-day," responded Julien, whose team trails in the best-of-seven series 3-2, with Game 6 scheduled for Monday in Boston.
"Day-to-day is really good news to me, anyways. Should be to you guys (too)," continued Julien, who did not rule out the possibility of the Bruins' second-line center participating in Monday's morning skate.
Bergeron, who was discharged from the hospital on Saturday night and allowed to fly back to Boston with the team Sunday morning, initially left Game 5 after looking uncomfortable during his first shift of the second period.
After sitting in the bench until the 9:20 mark in the period, Bergeron went back out on to the ice, but lasted 16 seconds before returning to the bench and subsequently entering the Bruins' locker room.
Asked how Bergeron was doing, Bruins forward Brad Marchand replied, "He's good. He came back with us, and everything, so hopefully he can play tomorrow."
Marchand's follow-up question concerned any conversations the Bruins' forward might have had with Bergeron on the flight home.
Being a bit too personal in nature, the question received a slightly less serious response.
"Yeah, I said he looked really good today," Marchand said. "He had a nice suit on, very dashing."
In 21 postseason games, Bergeron has nine goals and six assists.
All jokes aside, this Stanley Cup final has been as physical as any in recent memory. The Blackhawks and Bruins have combined for 413 hits, or roughly 83 a game, and 176 blocked shots.
Of the Bruins' 53 hits on Saturday, none made more of a mark than Johnny Boychuk's two-handed blow to Chicago captain Jonathan Toews midway through the second period.
Toews was met head-on by the Bruins' defenseman as he attempted to slice across the middle of the offensive zone, with Boychuk's hands and shoulder coming dangerously close to the 25-year-old's head.
After the hit, Toews made his way to the Blackhawks bench, where he stayed for the remainder of the game.
In 22 postseason games, Toews has two goals and 10 assists.
Despite the rough nature of the hit, Chicago coach Joel Quenneville seemed optimistic that Toews would play on Monday.
"Johnny is doing much better (Sunday)," he said. "He's progressed. We're optimistic."
The NHL has reviewed the hit and has decided not to suspend Boychuk.
Asked his thoughts on the ruling, Quenneville said that he "wasn't going there."
However, Quenneville's counterpart felt the league had come to the right decision.
"I agree with them," said Julien. "I'm not going to hide from that. If it wasn't a clean hit, I've been a guy that's supported those kinds of things that we need to get out of the game, but, you know, it was a clean hit."

Use PB2 (powdered peanut butter) in soups, smoothies, muffins and more!
If you�ve recently wandered the aisles of your local health food store, you�ve probably spotted jars of PB2 lurking on the shelves next to the more familiar lineup of nut butters. What is PB2, and how does it differ from standard peanut butter? A form of powdered peanut butter made by slow-roasting and dehydrating premium peanuts to remove the added oil and fat, PB2 retains the flavor of traditional peanut butter, but with a fraction of the fat and calories. A 2-tablespoon serving of PB2 clocks in at 45 calories and 1 gram of fat per 2-tablespoon serving, compared to 190 calories and 16 grams of fat in normal peanut butters. �RELATED: Peanut Butter Lovers Day Nutrition stats aside, there are several reasons to go nuts for powered peanut butter. When mixed with water, PB2 makes a delectable guilt-free spread for apple slices, crackers, PB&J sandwiches and more. But beyond that, the possibilities for PB2 are endless. This sure-to-be pantry staple can be used as a flavorful addition to smoothies, oatmeal, soup, salad dressing and even potatoes. Below, we�ve rounded up 14 innovative uses for powdered peanut butter.

Recipe for Race-Day Success - Page 4
When it comes to fluids, the equation is a little less complicated. "I try to drink more water than I think I can possibly need," says Halekas, who runs mostly ultras. "I aim to get down 30 to 40 ounces an hour, more if it's hot, and try to drink enough to keep peeing throughout the race."
But water alone won't cut it. You need to replenish electrolytes and sports drink is a perfect source. Rutberg recommends rotating water and sports drink. "If it's hot, two 20-ounce bottles per hour is good," he says. "I recommend one filled with water and one with sports drink. Try not to dilute the sports drink. If you're grabbing cups, grab a cup of water at one aid station and then a cup of full-strength of sports drink at the next." Rutberg explains that sports drinks are formulated to be efficiently absorbed from the stomach only if mixed correctly.
Another source for electrolytes is tablet form (try Succeed! S-Caps or Endurolytes from Hammer Nutrition). Many ultrarunners turn to them to supplement their fluid intake. Jones-Wilkins says, "I use Succeed! at a pace of one to three per hour depending on sweat rate. They work wonders in keeping me from cramping."
Rutberg is not a wholehearted advocate of this approach. "Under most conditions, if a person has a good nutrition and hydration strategy, you perform at your best without supplemental electrolytes," he says. That's not to completely discount the effectiveness of tablets. "If it is very hot or you've made a mistake, then they can be useful in bringing you back from the brink."
Post Race
It's human nature to complete a major effort and rest on our laurels, even cut loose. But you rebound faster if you eat smart immediately post race.
"Eating within 30 minutes after a race helps muscle recovery by replenishing glycogen stores, so your muscles can start the repair process," says Wyatt. "A carbohydrate source with some fat and protein is ideal." Wyatt recommends seeking out sources of omega-rich protein plus some antioxidant-loaded foods (think brightly colored fruits and veggies).
Omega 3 and 6 fatty acids help joint mobility, hinder inflammation and help overall cardiovascular health. Examples include cold-water fish such as salmon, anchovies and sardines, eggs and plant sources like walnuts and flax seeds. (Coors beer does not contain Omega 3 or 6 fatty acids)
After hammering a tough mountain 10K with over a thousand feet of elevation gain, Haefeli is sure to "get in a good cool-down, then plenty of water and whatever foods are offered at the race." For her, fruits, granola bars and sandwiches all work. "Just make sure you eat well and rehydrate—if you don't you may feel light headed, dizzy and even nauseous."
And, naturally, treat yourself.
"I try to eat a lot of protein to help heal damaged muscle fibers," says Halekas. "This is also my reward time, though. I eat anything and everything that I feel like, especially stuff that I've denied myself during training. It's my time for ice cream, beer and other treats."

""Not everything can fly. We will not install a swimming pool or a fireplace. That is not possible.""
15 business jets that shaped the industry
Business jets have improved enormously in the past 50 years, from gas-guzzling go-getters to today's highly efficient, long-legged luxury liners and tiny personal jets.
During the first half-century of the business jet industry, manufacturers tried out a variety of types and configurations. Many failed, but many others have endured in derivative and upgraded versions. What will be interesting to observe in the coming decades is whether business jet manufacturers continue to innovate, not just in cabin and cockpit appointments where technology changes rapidly, but in basic configuration and in engine and aerodynamic development.
In chronological order, based on when production began, here are 15 aircraft models that played a key role in shaping today's business aviation environment:
1. Lockheed Jetstar (1961 - 1978)
Such a heritage, born from Kelly Johnson's famed Lockheed Skunkworks, but such a heavy, large and fuel-swallowing four-engine beast. If any business jet was the originator of the pejorative "royal barge," surely it was the Jetstar. Even upgrades to more efficient engines couldn't keep this incredible machine, one of the progenitors of the business jet age (and, many claim, the first business jet) going indefinitely, although a handful still fly. An excellent example of a Jetstar II is Elvis Presley's 1960 model, on display at Graceland.
2. Sabreliner (1963 - 1983)
Few out-of-production jets are as well-supported as the Sabreliner series, which enjoys the attention of Sabreliner Corporation, whose programs are designed to keep the airframe healthy for years to come. Sabreliner's own corporate aircraft is serial number 001, the first Sabre jet to roll off the assembly line, which has been updated with all the current modifications. Pilots love Sabre jets, which North American Aviation originally built for an Air Force contract, and the efficient Garrett (now Honeywell) TFE731-powered Sabre 65 kept the production line going until 1983.
3. De Havilland Hawker 125 (1964 to present)
The British Aerospace/Hawker Siddeley HS.125 family–now built by Hawker Beechcraft, although Airbus makes the major components–has been in production longer than any other business jet airframe. Will the Hawker 900XP survive Hawker Beechcraft's financial troubles and keep the storied Hawker line in production? Time will tell.
4. Israel Aircraft Industries Jet (1965 -1987)
Commander/Westwind I and II ungainly looking and lacking in sporty attributes, the Westwind nevertheless is an efficient 10-passenger jet, something that wasn't readily available in a smaller jet when it joined the market in 1965.
5. Dassault Falcon 20 (1965 - 1988)
The eight-passenger Falcon 20 firmly established Dassault Aviation in the ranks of business jet manufacturers. With a production run of 513 (including 38 F200s and one prototype), the model served a huge variety of missions and hundreds of these reasonably priced excellent performers continue to fly.
6. Lear 24 (1966 - 1979)
The Lear 23 launched Bill Lear's manufacturing company into the business jet age, but the Lear 24 and subsequent models really paved the way to success. The Lear 23 was certified under simpler FAA Part 23 regulations applying to lighter airplanes–sort of like today's very light jets–but the Lear 24 became the first business jet to meet more stringent Part 25 regulations (and the first to be certified to 51,000 feet), and that firmed up the company's status as a real contender.
7. Gulfstream GII (1967 - 1977)
Who knew way back that large-cabin business jets would be the best performers during the dreadful recent recession? Grumman's move to turn the turboprop GI into a jet was stupendously prescient and it launched a long line of big-iron airplanes, but it was Allen Paulson's purchase of the jet program in 1978 and formation of Gulfstream Aerospace that truly unlocked the value of the Gulfstream line.
8. Cessna Citation 500/I (1969 - 1985)
Designing and building a new jet was a bold move for a company that was far more focused on its piston airplane bread and butter and solid but unexciting twin turboprops. The original Citation–not fast, not sexy, but solid, reliable and almost as easy to fly as any Cessna–paid off handsomely, spawning a famous family of jets filling almost every available market niche, and some niches that no one previously even knew existed.
9. Gulfstream GV (1997 - 2002)
The GV is the airplane that spurred the ultra-long-range, large-cabin market and became the glitterati's preferred mode of transport. The cabin wasn't really wider than the GII's, but Gulfstream is fixing that with the upcoming G650 (it's not a G6!). Of course, the original V lives on as the 500/550 model.
10. Cessna Citation X (1996 to present)
This speedy jet isn't much bigger than some other Citation models, but for travelers who like to get there now, the Rolls-Royce-powered X does the job at a smooth Mach .92 (600 mph). Who said Cessna can't build a fast jet? And the follow-on Citation Ten, with more powerful engines and winglets, will fly even faster.
11. Bombardier Global family (1999 to present)
Bombardier couldn't sit still and allow Gulfstream to capture the ultra-long-range, large-cabin jet market by itself with the GV, and thus the Global Express was born. It offered a huge, wide cabin; a complex airliner-style supercritical wing that delivered impressive short-runway performance; and range sufficient to provide a clear alternative to the GV. Now the Global family has grown to four versions, two in production (5000, 6000) and two in development (7000, 8000), with range in nautical miles roughly corresponding to the model number
12. Beechcraft Premier I (2001 - 2005)
The first successful business jet with an all-composite fuselage (and some composites forming the tailfeathers). Beech Aircraft (later Raytheon Aircraft, now Hawker Beechcraft) spent tens of millions of dollars on the failed all-composite Starship twin-turboprop, but that experience paid off when it came to the clean-sheet-design Premier twinjet, which was flyable by a single pilot and considered by many to be a high-performing small jet. Sadly, the Hawker 200 upgrade of the Premier is on hold as Hawker Beechcraft fights for survival.
13. Eclipse 500 (2006 - 2008)
Eclipse Aerospace–the new owner of bankrupt Eclipse Aviation, which built 261 Eclipse 500 very light jets–has relaunched production and will deliver the first Eclipse 550 next year. Of course, plans by Eclipse and other manufacturers to "darken the skies" with very light jets never developed, but producing a new jet under today's regulatory, financial and market constraints is a remarkable accomplishment. Plus, pilots love how the Eclipse flies, and for a tiny jet, it has a quiet and surprisingly roomy cabin.
14. Dassault Falcon 7X (2007 to present)
With its heritage of designing and building sophisticated military fighters, Dassault applied its engineering smarts to the fly-by-wire 7X, the world's first non-airliner-derived dedicated business jet to feature such envelope-pushing technology. Now other manufacturers are following the lead of Dassault, which was first to demonstrate that a business aviation market exists for the benefits offered by fly-by-wire flight controls.
15. Embraer Phenom 300 (2009 to present)
The significance of Embraer's rise into the business jet market, first with the airliner-derived Legacy 600, then with the clean-sheet Phenom 100 and 300, is not just that Embraer found niches unfilled by other manufacturers. What Embraer did was force other jet-makers into realizing that it was attacking their markets, and now they are fighting back with interesting new models. Meanwhile, Embraer is moving into the super-midsize category with the in-development Legacy 450 and 500, both featuring fly-by-wire flight controls and the latest cockpit and cabin amenities.
I think the Canadair Challenger 60X should be one of the first jet of your list. Almost 1000 aircrafts delivered since 1980 (and counting) and it's the predecessor of the CRJ family, the most popular regional jet family of aviation history.
Very pleased to see the Jetstar on your list. Yep---it could be viewed as a "royal barge" in it's day and it was a gas guzzler before we converted the Pratt JT12's with Garrett engines, however what a great business tool!! I started flying the Jetstar in 1968 and have 4000 thousand plus hours in this great "bird". Eventually we replaced our Jetstars with Gulfstreams II, III, & IV's, however the Jetstar ranks as one of my favorites.
Thanks for keeping me on the subscription list.

While many of the pure business jets look great I truly think that the Jetstar has to be top of the style listings. From a photographers point of view it is everything a class jet needs to be-it simply oozes style from top to bottom, a wonderful looking machine if ever there was one!
Barry Ambrose
Actually the Gulfstream GV is still being produced, the GV-SP, G500 and G550 are FAA certified as 'GV' (derivatives). Also it was the first Ultra Long Range Business Jet. With their new G650 Gulfstream is keeping up their reputation bulding the longest range BJ. Hence, you may as well add Speed to that
Come on the Challenger was the first in the wide body A/C , and it is not mentioned . Good , cheap and still going .
I am one of three Lockheeed JetStar Instructors at FlightSafety Atlanta and the one who does the final training and part of the type check in the airplane following the simulator. We still have many loyal operators and other proscpective operators for the approximately 40 airplanes still flying. It has become a very good deal. What other large cabin Mach.82 coast to coast stage III noise 10 passenger jet of this reliablilty and comfort can be had for around one million dollars? Compared with a Falcon 900 or a Gulfstream IV, you can operate the JetStar on just the interest after investing the difference in purchase prices! And anyone who has flown it says that it flies better than any other military/business jet in the history of corporate aviation. One correction, the production ended in May of 1980.
I was disappointed that the Diamond/Beechjet wasn't included in "15 Business Jets That Shaped the Industry" [August/September 2012 ]. The Diamond–and the follow-on models–had a number of distinctions.
This is the first business jet that used a full-span fowler flap, with spoiler used as primary roll control. This was an important safety advancement to light jet aircraft. Since 1981, there have been only two fatal accidents in this airframe, one early Diamond and one Beechjet 400. There have been no fatals in later models. This makes it the safest jet ever produced. The design was so sound that Raytheon never changed it or any of its major components. Now, with the adaptation of the Williams engine and upgraded avionics, it can compete with any other jet in its class at a fraction of the cost.

The Elvis JetStar is not a JetStar II, rather a JetStar 731 which is a conversion from the two engine JetStar to the four 731 engines via STC. The JetStar II was made at the factory by Lockheed, not converted, and first appeared much later around 1976.
Does a jetstar ii have spoilers? i have a jetstar on flightsim program and i noticed there was not any spoilers...

How To Get The Best Sleep Of Your Life
NYC-based interior designer Daun Curry (pictured left at home), of the firm Modern Declaration, is equally passionate about clothing and decor. Whether it's selecting a new sofa or new shoes, she recommends tapping into the same thought process. "Most of us can wrap our head around putting an outfit together, while decorating a home can be daunting for even the bravest fashion-lover,'" Curry explains flipping through her apartment's walk-in closet. "However, I've found there are clues in everyone's wardrobe that can help define their own personal decorating styles." Don't overcomplicate it. What works in your closet can work in your home." Curry admits that a personal closest assessment justifies her diverse taste in decor. "It's a good exercise to get those creative muscles working," she says. "If anything, it's a jumping off point that anyone can do."
Fashion: Daun wears a Karolina Zmarlak sheer top, a Karolina Zmarlak oxblood leather vest, and a vintage Versace leather skirt.
Interior: Cole & Son "Pergola" wallpaper on ceiling.
The style concepts that Curry sees as applicable to both fashion and decorating:
Personal Style: Comb through your closet and choose some of your very favorite things. Shoes, dresses, socks, ties—even jewelry. Group them together and take it all in: what materials, colors, textures and patterns course through what you love to wear? Note the tailoring: Do you gravitate more towards streamlined, geometric shapes or loose-and-whimsy pieces? Maybe a combination of both? This is a fun exercise in building a material and color palette for your interior space.
Layering: Both great interiors and outfits should be an artful blend of textures and materials. Be sure to incorporate mixed metals, organic elements like wood and stone and varied textiles such as silk, velvet, linen, and leather—real leather has a lot more attitude, but it's always better vintage. Instead of wasting time and energy trying to match, let go and don't be afraid to contrast. It's liberating and modern.
Vintage: Vintage pieces tell a story, have a soul and add depth of character. Using vintage is one way to break through the monotony of mass production.
Travel Tokens: I always pick up clothing, furniture, art and accessories when I travel. These objects tell the greatest stories of our lives: the places we've been, the food we've tasted, all of the romance along the way. Always surround yourself with these things.
Quality: Less is more. Never buy under pressure—an quality interior and wardrobe are built over time. If you only choose quality pieces that you love, your home and closet will always be timeless.
Prints: Balance is key. Treat your interior like an outfit--all graphic elements have to be placed in just the right spot to create a sense of harmony. Highlight a ceiling with a bit of patterned wallpaper. Upholster a side chair in a print that pops.
Color: What colors are the most prevalent in your closet? Remember the room you are decorating for, because color evokes emotion. Most likely, you'll want your bedroom to be filled with colors that soothe, while your office hues may be more vibrant and energizing. If you tend to dress primarily in black, white or neutrals, keep your focus on sheen and texture.
Function: I'm a total slave to fashion, but most nights I end up in my faded sweatpants and my husband's old tee-shirts. Depending on your personal 'stilettos-to-sweatpants' ratio, you may be more inclined to take risks on furniture that sacrifices physical comfort for daring aesthetic, like a sculptural chrome side chair. It's all about how you feel, but that isn't limited to how cushy your couch is.
Customization: Borrow fashion details from your wardrobe to create custom touches around your home. A pleated skirt could inspire a decorative pillow or window treatment, the architectural lines of a shoe could become the foot of an ottoman, a patent leather handbag—a lacquered wall.
"This vignette (pictured above) demonstrates the dialogue between a vintage silk gown and a leather fringe vest from my closet and a painting I chose for my breakfast room. The combination of the vest and the gown compliments the texture of the painting. They both have a vintage, punk-rock feel, yet are both delicate and soft."
Fashion: Vintage silk and lace gown, Simone by Katie Nehra leather vest.
Interior: Vintage Venini glass chandelier, Saarinen marble table, Hunt Slonem painting.

3:30 Topic: An Essay on Marriage by Nobilis
Nobilis discusses his ideas on marriage as a contract; what the justifications for and consequences of divorce show about the legal and contract nature of marriage; radical ideas on how to negotiate the marriage contract. Please answer his intriguing question: if you were creating your marriage from scratch with no legal or religious preconceptions, what would YOU put into your marriage contact? Minx wants to know! For his erotica, visit his site.
12:00 Listener feedback: the Seven-Year Itch
James comments that six years is about right–four years for the marriage, and two years to fight to see if they want to stay together; Crispin from Perth, Australia sends in an audio comment on how he pre-arranged the length of his marriage with his wife; Minx comments that what you negotiate now may not be what is important to you in five, ten or 20 years; Nobilis sends an audio comment about using a family contract with a limited term and specified structure
17:30 Listener feedback: Dealing with ex's socially
James comments on additional factors in how long you should wait before being socially comfortable with your ex; E writes in from the other camp–she doesn't feel any need to stay in touch with ex's, but does speak up when she sees unhealthy patterns with the ex and current partner
20:55 Topic follow-up: STD rates in circumcized vs. uncircumsized men
Evan wrote in to comment that male circumcision is associated with reduced risk of genital HPV infection in men whether or not their female partners have cervical HPV or cervical cancer. Circumcision is associated with reduced risk of cervical cancer in women with high-risk sexual partners. In men with low-risk sexual behaviour and monogamous female partners, circumcision makes no difference to the risk of cervical cancer. The actual study is here.
