From the Left Hand Corner: Gun allowance
I hadn't planned to write about guns. Too much has been written and not much has been done on the subject for 40-plus years. I don't have anything profound to add to the complex matter, but am writing about how we deal with it.
This column is "triggered" by the Jan. 21 lengthy article in the Minneapolis "Strib" on how the "(G)un debate tests outstate congressmen." Gun rights backer Congressman Tim Walz jeopardizes his "A" rating (and financial support) by the NRA as he considers the efficacy of background checks and the insanity of promotion and accessibility of military style assault rifles with huge firing capacity.
After almost 70 years of some degree of hunting, 60-plus for North Dakota ducks, I still enjoy some grouse, duck and deer hunting a lot.
So, I don't want to give up the dozen or so guns my son and I own. Most are old and not worth much dollar wise, but I still want to be able to pass them on to family members, along with the good memories their usage has provided.
A highlight of my early memory is riding along with Dad and uncles, when they drove a few miles west of our farm on Sunday afternoons in quest of partridge (rough grouse).
Later, in my early teens, the best days of the year were those in deer camp — out of school, away from chores and hunting from morn til dark.
I've belonged to several hunting organizations over the years and really applaud hunters and conservationists working together for a better environment. But, I declined membership in the NRA decades ago, as it seemingly "aimed" itself toward existence as a Republican front group ala John Wayne and Charlton Heston.
As with other complex political and societal issues, the extremists on both sides regarding guns become more problem than solution.
In this case the NRA, with its money and threatened political clout, has become a huge deterrent to rational action. Even the most rabid on the other side, mostly urban oriented, don't seem to pose any real threat or contention to "take my guns away."
The trite statement that "guns don't kill people, people do" is not a very complete answer. People kill people with guns. Alcohol doesn't drive cars into people, either, but we certainly restrict alcohol usage. Methamphetamines don't wreck bodies unless people ingest them, but meth is prohibited.
It is fair generalization that the more guns in circulation, the more people are going to be hurt by guns. I tend to believe those who point to untreated or unsuccessfully treated mental illness as causative of recent incidents of horrendous killing of innocent people across our country.
Of course we need better diagnosis and treatment of mental illness, not just to prevent recurrences of Newtown and Colorado. But, remember that costs big money, which in turn requires taxes, which too many are unwilling to pay.
Remember just a few years ago when Tim Pawlenty and crew moved to cut state taxes by unloading people from mental illness institutions onto the streets or to supposedly cheaper, lesser staffed handling and housing.
I tend also to believe that the glut of depicted and reported violence that permeates our news and entertainment has to have dangerous deleterious impact, with too frequent deadly result.
It is a huge challenge to change our appetite for violence as entertainment. As a society we have allowed it to become prevalent and profitable.
However, the NRA doesn't help only by passing the buck to mental illness and violence on TV.
The irresponsibility of the NRA is reflected in its own rating system. All of Minnesota's federal elected officials are rated either A or F. There is no room for grading in between, no B, no C, no D, just 10 times, either A or F.
You tell me why our lifelong hunter sportsman, gun owner and gun advocate Congressman Rick Nolan be rated F. Partisan politics, anyone?
I hope that more responsible heads prevail in consideration of gun ownership and usage. Let's hope that common sense prevails.
I can submit to background checks. I can scrape up a few tax dollars for better mental health care. And, I can enjoy life and get along fine without a fully automatic high capacity assault rifle designed to kill other people.

Forty-Part Motet
10 Sep 2013 - 08 Dec 2013
Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York
Winner of the Millennium Prize 2001, Forty Part Motet is a reworking of "Spem in Alium" by Thomas Tallis, a 16th-century English composer. Forty separately-recorded choir voices are played back through forty speakers positioned around the room. The effect of the work on visitors is deeply moving.
"Most people experience this piece now in their living rooms in front of only two speakers," says Janet Cardiff. "Even in a live concert the audience is separated from the individual voices. Only the performers are able to hear the person standing next to them singing a different harmony. I wanted to be able to climb inside the music."

April 1, 2013
NASHVILLE, Tenn. -Tennessee seniors Ivy Renfroe and Raven Chavanne were selected in Monday night's 2013 National Pro Fastpitch College Draft. Renfroe was taken with the eighth overall pick by the Akron Racers and Chavanne was the 13th overall pick by the Chicago Bandits.
"The team watched the draft after our game tonight and everyone was excited to hear Ivy's and Raven's names called," Tennessee co-head coach Karen Weekly said. "Every pro team expressed strong interest in Lauren Gibson as well but knew that she was a two-year veteran of Team USA and the national team remains her first priority. Tennessee has a strong legacy in the professional ranks and we're proud and excited these young ladies will have the opportunity to further that tradition."
Renfroe and Chavanne are the 11th and 12th, respectively, Lady Vols to be selected in the annual NPF College Draft. The last UT selection was in 2011 when Kelly Grieve was taken with in the fifth round (18th overall selection) by the Akron Racers.
Renfroe is the second UT pitcher to be taken in the draft, joining Monica Abbott (Washington Glory, 2007). Abbott currently plays for the Chicago Bandits.
Chavanne is the seventh UT slapper to be drafted, joining Grieve, Lillian Hammond (Philadelphia Force, 2009), Kenora Posey (Akron Racers, 2009), Lindsay Schutzler (Chicago Bandits, 2007), India Chiles (Akron Racers, 2007) and Sarah Fekete (Philadelphia Force, 2006).
Other Tennessee legends that were drafted in years past include Shannon Doepking (Akron Racers, 2008), Tonya Callahan (Rockford Thunder, 2008) and Kristi Durant (New England Riptide, 2006).
The 2013 draft was presented by BOWNET and was held at Ford Theatre in the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum in Nashville, Tenn. The draft was shown live on ESPN3.
Renfroe has established herself as one of the toughest pitchers in the nation and one of the most clutch hurlers in Tennessee softball history. She ranks second in the all-time UT records with 158 appearances in the circle and third in games started at 104. Her 88 career victories are second only to Abbott's 189 and her 26 career shutouts are second only to Abbott's 112. Renfroe also ranks third in Lady Vol history with 681 strikeouts and 685.2 innings pitched. As a rookie in 2010, she carried the Lady Vols to the Women's College World Series, going 5-2 with a 2.26 ERA and 53 strikeouts in 43.1 innings of NCAA postseason action. She was a also stalwart in the circle during Tennessee's 2012 Women's College World Series run, posting a 6-2 record with a 1.29 ERA and 39 strikeouts in 48.2 frames of NCAA postseason work.
Chavanne is one of the most accomplished batters in the nation and she has enjoyed one of the most productive careers for a hitter in Tennessee history. She currently stands as UT's all-time leader in career batting average (.443) and stolen bases (127). Her 212 career runs are second only to Schutzler and she ranks third in school history with 313 hits. As the premier slapper in the nation over the past four years, Chavanne has host of honors to her name. She is a three-time Louisville Slugger/NFCA All-American, a two-time Top 10 Finalist for USA Softball Player of the Year, a three-time Top 25 Finalist for USA Softball Player of the Year, a three-time All-SEC honoree and a 2010 USA Futures Team member. Chavanne is also a Senior Class Award candidate and a two-time Capital One Academic All-American.

I finally got my concealed carry permit. I did it for political reasons, not for self-defense. I've been carrying for the last few months.
So, I'm walking around with a loaded firearm, went through the training course, licensed by the state. If I had to take a course and buy a permit to exercise my Constitutional right to vote, people would scream "Jim Crow law!" and every civil rights organization in the country would be all over that like politicians on money.
Yet in my city of residence, my Leatherman tool is still an illegal weapon, since there is an ordinance prohibiting knives with blades more than 2-7/8" long. I can buy a license to carry a gun, but knives are clearly too dangerous for people to carry, even with a background check, training, and license.
Yet while I can carry a gun, the state doesn't recognize any intermediate levels of force between fisticuffs and shooting someone. If you pick up a stick and hit someone with it, it legally becomes a "club", which is an illegal weapon.
Yet I can carry my gun into my bank, but they have a sign telling me to remove my hat or leave.
Yet though it's the Federal government that guarantees my right to keep and bear arms, I'm not allowed to carry on most Federal property.
If nothing else, being an armed citizen is entertaining...

|Summary Tape File 3 -> Appendix B. Definitions of Subject Characteristics -> Housing Characteristics -> Units in Structure
The data on units in structure (also referred to as "type of structure") were obtained from questionnaire item H2, which was asked at all housing units. A structure is a separate building that either has open spaces on all sides or is separated from other structures by dividing walls that extend from ground to roof. In determining the number of units in a structure, all housing units, both occupied and vacant, are counted. Stores and office space are excluded. The statistics are presented for the number of housing units in structures of specified type and size, not for the number of residential buildings.
1-Unit, Detached
This is a 1-unit structure detached from any other house; that is, with open space on all four sides. Such structures are considered detached even if they have an adjoining shed or garage. A one-family house that contains a business is considered detached as long as the building has open space on all four sides. Mobile homes or trailers to which one or more permanent rooms have been added or built also are included.
1-Unit, Attached
This is a 1-unit structure that has one or more walls extending from ground to roof separating it from adjoining structures. In row houses (sometimes called townhouses), double houses, or houses attached to nonresidential structures, each house is a separate, attached structure if the dividing or common wall goes from ground to roof.
2 or More Units
These are units in structures containing 2 or more housing units, further categorized as units in structures with 2, 3 or 4, 5 to 9, 10 to 19, 20 to 49, and 50 or more units.
Mobile Home or Trailer
Both occupied and vacant mobile homes to which no permanent rooms have been added are counted in this category. Mobile homes or trailers used only for business purposes or for extra sleeping space and mobile homes or trailers for sale on a dealer's lot, at the factory, or in storage are not counted in the housing inventory.
This category is for any living quarters occupied as a housing unit that does not fit the previous categories. Examples that fit this category are houseboats, railroad cars, campers, and vans.
Data on units in structure have been collected since 1940 and on mobile homes and trailers since 1950. In 1970 and 1980, these data were shown only for year-round housing units. In 1990, these data are shown for all housing units. In 1980, the data were collected on a sample basis. The category, "Boat, tent, van, etc." was replaced in 1990 by the category "Other." In some areas, the proportion of units classified as "Other" is far larger than the number of units that were classified as "Boat, tent, van, etc." in 1980.

Mismatched pairs of simple things can inspire ingenious solutions
Henry Petroski
When I was a child, I enjoyed accompanying my father to the bakery, where I could observe things that I found to be as sweet intellectually as the confections on the shelves were sensually. My appetite for the mechanical devices and gadgets in the place was insatiable. I was fascinated by the slicing machine into which the woman behind the counter placed a full loaf of bread and received a neatly sliced one in return. After lifting the segmented loaf from the machine with two hands, imperceptibly compressing it the way a juggler does a set of cigar boxes that looks to be defying gravity, the bakery woman upended the loaf of precisely aligned slices and balanced it in a vertical position in the palm of one hand while reaching with the other and snapping open the white paper bag into which she would slide the sliced loaf and in which the customer would carry the bread home. To me, indeed, the whole process was the greatest thing since sliced bread itself.
Another operation that captured my attention was the action of placing a pie or cake in a box, which itself first had to be formed from one of the flat sheets of irregularly but deliberately shaped white cardboard that were stacked neatly on a shelf under the counter. First, in plain view of a father and his child, three sides of the latent box were folded up and joined together by a tab-in-slot sleight of hand. Into this partially formed box the pie or cake was partly lowered from the top and partly slid from the front, thereby displacing neither a crumb of crust nor a swirl of icing. With the dessert in place, the last of the box's sides was raised like the tailgate of a delivery truck and made secure by another tab-in-slot maneuver. As the shopwoman brought the top of the box down to close it, her deft hands kept the flaps from invading the space between the insides of the box and its contents. The flaps were left outside flapping like wings.
The box still had to be secured with cotton string, sometimes plain white and sometimes candy striped. The supply of string was kept on large spools that had the shape of truncated cones and turned on strategically located spindles. I know this because the spools were often kept in plain sight, either right on the work counter or high above it. But no matter from where it was deployed, the string could be played out easily, if noisily, and it was wrapped around the box seemingly with the speed that Superman could circle the Earth. First three or four turns secured the front flap, and then three or four did the same for the side flaps. In preparation for tying the concluding knots, the string was cut with the flick of a finger, which wore a pragmatic steel ring set not with a stone but with a small knife blade shaped like a miniature sickle. When two or more boxes were to be taken home, they were stacked in a tower formation and tied together for the carrying. The only thing that bothered me about the uniting of pies and cakes with boxes and string was that the pies were round and the boxes square.

Today he talked about how he was brought in to help with the rebuilding process, and he thought it would take 3 years.
He mentioned how he's not at the age where he can endure another rebuilding process, and I agree with him 100%
Mood: WOOF!
.Carmelo Anthony said on Thursday that he wants to return to the Knicks, but added that he also wants to win next year.
"I want to come back. I also want to win," he said. Whether Melo stays with the Knicks will be a hot topic from now until a decision is made, and while the addition of Phil Jackson gives them some hope, he's also excited to become a free agent. He will likely opt out in July and then start testing the market. Yes, the 'Summer of Melo' is approaching quickly. Melo said on Thursday he doesn't care about the money and just wants to win, while the Knicks can offer him more than any other team - five years, $129 million.
Source: Frank Isola on Twitter Apr 17 - 1:34 PM
it's the "don't care about money," and "just wants to win" remarks that engaged my rant mode.
make no mistake the Sllub fans here in Chicago are drooling and slobbering over the idea of a Melo, Joakim, and Taj (if he can be retained) in the frontcourt with Jimmy Butler and a healthier D-Rose on the backcourt
Hell, even Lebron and Bosh don't want to see that ****.

Cant blame the guy for want ing a ring before he retires. The knicks didnt pull it off but it was a good effort.
If Melo leaves I will not be mad at him. I am a 'Cuse fan and loved him his one year there and he has been my favorite player since being in the league. When he came to the Knicks I was beyond excited but seeing what he's gone through with the FO of this team it is disgusting. Oh course as a Knicks fan I want him back but if I was Melo I wouldn't come back because it would be much easier to have a LEGIT shot at winning with someone like Chicago.
The Knicks FO is the biggest joke in basketball. They don't know their *** from their elbow. They need to trade Chandler... offers 0 offense and showed little effort on defense especially for a "defensive" player.
Shumpert is probably my 2nd favorite Knick and it makes me sick watching him get shuffled around from position to position. He is one of the best defenders on our team if not the best. He has excellent athleticism but moving him around has ****ed over his confidence. His rookie year he was a force. He was locking down defenders and taking it to the hoop as much as possible. That all this iso ball really made his offensive confidence fall. He is settling for jumpers where he is very streaky. I think Phil will bring in a coach who can implement an offense where Shumpert will be effective. He seems like a player Phil would love.
They need to get some more vets that can bring some leadership to the team and they need to manage getting a pick in this draft. It is absolutely loaded (arguably best draft since the Melo/Lebron draft). They need to be able to get someone promising in this draft
They have some nice pieces if Melo comes back. I think THJ is going to be a close to 20 point scorer fairly soon. Amare looked nice towards the end of the year. JR might be an interesting trade piece but he played a lot better down the stretch as well. Bargnani.... idk what to think of him.. a ton of talent but really hurt the team when he went down. They need a lot more from him.
PG should be the #1 priority though. I cannot stand Felton he is a turnover machine and is far too streaky on offense altogether. He is awful on defense as well. That position needs someone who can really contribute if they want to make any sort of run next year or bring Melo back
Ok rant over.. I was all over the place but I will seriously be pissed at the FO if they don't offer enough talent on the roster to keep Melo

Damn I was hoping this thread was about fab melo. I was wondering where he went.
I wouldn't blame Carmelo if he left. The Knicks are a mess and if he wants to win a ring before the end of his career he's going to have to go to a potential contender with more stability. The Knicks don't fit either one of those criteria.
One of these teams is not like the others
Melo does not pass the ball and is a terrible lazy defender.

The knicks need to blow it up and rebuild it. Let him walk and at least try to trade some of those horrible contracts. Easier said than done.

This website was discovered this morning and provided me with a distraction to keep me occupied during lunch times and other times when my brain needs a kickstart.
It contains a number of enciphered texts and basically no clue on how to solve them. Well except for the more complex ones (which I am yet to try). But below I shall discuss how I solved Challenge 1 and Challenge 2.
Challenge 1
The cipher text is as follows:
Zl sngure'f snzvyl anzr orvat Cveevc, naq zl Puevfgvna anzr Cuvyvc, zl vasnag gbathr pbhyq znxr bs obgu anzrf abguvat ybatre be zber rkcyvpvg guna Cvc. Fb, V pnyyrq zlfrys Cvc, naq pnzr gb or pnyyrq Cvc.
Looks pretty evil eh? Thankfully this one is dead easy. Its a common form of cipherment used on Usenet and other places, called Rot-13. Its a form of substitution cipher, done by rotating the characters 13 places modulo 26.
For instances, the letter A becomes the letter N (N is 13 characters ahead of A), of course, you need to wrap around if you use the letters N through to Z. This cipher is particularily convient when one has an even number of characters in their alphabet).
Thus the decipherment (using the following set of Unix commands cat challenge1.txt | tr '[A-M][N-Z][a-m][n-z]' '[N-Z][A-M][n-z][a-m]' > answer1.txt) :
My father's family name being Pirrip, and my Christian name Philip, my infant tongue could make of both names nothing longer or more explicit than Pip. So, I called myself Pip, and came to be called Pip.
Pretty cool eh? :) As I said, its often (at least in the past) is used on Usenet to protect the punchlines from jokes from being accidently read.
Challenge 2
This one was moderately more tricky, but once I got the solution it was obvious.
A quick try of Rot-13 showed it obviously wasn't the same cipher. This time I decided to be a bit trickier and wrote a quick perl program to do a frequency count of the characters present (Mostly to ensure I was dealing with a simple substitution cipher rather than something more complex). The program showed that the characters appeared to be distributed within the same frequencies as the English language (See the table below to see the character distribution of the English language):
Character Frequency sp 0.186550 e 0.108321 t 0.079711 a 0.066101 h 0.062808 o 0.053881 s 0.049366 n 0.048965 r 0.047798 i 0.041987 l 0.036380 d 0.035168 u 0.024981 w 0.023349 m 0.020149 c 0.019151 g 0.017733 y 0.017043 f 0.014561 b 0.013218 p 0.012472 k 0.008703 v 0.008059 j 0.001296 x 0.001119 q 0.000615 z 0.000503
I did ignore the sp group though. Maybe I should add to my frequency count program to also test for pairs of letters also.
I got the following frequencies based on the file (only the first 5 though, rest on request):
1)cipher (T) count( 36) freq (0.1385) 2)cipher (Z) count( 30) freq (0.1154) 3)cipher (Q) count( 22) freq (0.0846) 4)cipher (O) count( 20) freq (0.0769) 5)cipher (G) count( 18) freq (0.0692)
Now, what did this lead me to believe? I am fairly certain that T in the ciphertext would be the letter </b>e</b> in the real world. And I also made the assumption that Z would be t. Lets make that substition (using lowercase to indicate deciphered letters of course):
eHESNFtOGH OA tIe FSGEeAA GY EGHCeStOHU Q FKQOHteBt JeAAQUe OHtG QH QKteSHQte EOFIeSteBt JeAAQUe. tIe EOFIeSteBt JeAAQUe EGHtQOHA QKK tIe OHYGSJQtOGH GY tIe FKQOHteBt JeAAQUe, WXt OA HGt OH Q YGSJQt SeQRQWKe WN Q IXJQH GS EGJFXteS VOtIGXt tIe FSGFeS JeEIQHOAJ tG ReESNFt Ot. --- YSGJ VOLOFeROQ, tIe YSee eHENEKGFeROQ.
Looking good so far. At this stage I made some more substitions based on frequency and with one or two hiccups I ended up with a fairly good portion of it done. I also guessed I would be h due to the tIe word most likely being the.
From the point of having about 30% of it decoded, I used other Unix tools to find out potential words. Using the YSee on the last line I looked for words in the dictionary (well word list) that had four characters, two unknown ending in double e:
grep "^..ee$" /usr/share/dict/words
Agee alee Cree flee free glee knee tree
Could be any of these. It would not be 'tree' as we had used the t before. And I decided to eliminate Agee, Alee, Cree cause they were silly.
And then it continued as I spotted more and more words.
Ultimately the message deciphered to be:
encryption is the process of converting a plaintext message into an alternate ciphertext message. the ciphertext message contains all the information of the plaintext message, but is not in a format readable by a human or computer without the proper mechanism to decrypt it. --- from wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
I had deciphered it without really knowing the method it used. I used the following command to do it cat Chal2.txt | tr 'TZIYSGOJXHQRWKNEFVALBUC' 'ethfroimunadblycpwskxgv' > Decoded.chal2
So out of curiousity I went and wrote another perl script which showed the plaintext and the ciphertext versions side by side with their 'position' in the alphabet so I could see if there was any formula being used, and piped it through a sort so it would be in plaintext-alphabetical order:
First the perl display code I used:
#!/usr/bin/perl $plain = "ethfroimunadblycpwskxgv"; $code = "TZIYSGOJXHQRWKNEFVALBUC"; my (@a_plain) = split(//, $plain); my (@a_code) = split(//, $code); $length = length($plain); for($i = 0; $i < $length; $i++) { printf "%s (%3d) -- %s (%3d)\n", $a_plain[$i], ord($a_plain[$i]) - 96 , $a_code[$i], ord(lc($a_code[$i])) - 96 ; }
I ran the following ./Cipher.chal2.pl | sort and got the following:
a ( 1) -- Q ( 17) b ( 2) -- W ( 23) c ( 3) -- E ( 5) d ( 4) -- R ( 18) e ( 5) -- T ( 20) f ( 6) -- Y ( 25) g ( 7) -- U ( 21) h ( 8) -- I ( 9) i ( 9) -- O ( 15) k ( 11) -- L ( 12) l ( 12) -- K ( 11) m ( 13) -- J ( 10) n ( 14) -- H ( 8) o ( 15) -- G ( 7) p ( 16) -- F ( 6) r ( 18) -- S ( 19) s ( 19) -- A ( 1) t ( 20) -- Z ( 26) u ( 21) -- X ( 24) v ( 22) -- C ( 3) w ( 23) -- V ( 22) x ( 24) -- B ( 2) y ( 25) -- N ( 14)
How bloody obvious. The cipher substitution was using the QWERTY keyboard layout.
Now, the rest of the challenges may be a bit harder. Ideally I'd have a nice PDA with Perl installed and go sit down on the river and hack away on ciphers at my lunch, but for now that will have to wait *smirks*

[h1]Luke Skywalker's Star Wars Lightsaber Sold for $200,000[/h1]
By Charlotte Cardingham

The infamous piece of movie memorabilia was sold at auction in Los Angeles.
The iconic lightsabere used by Luke Skywalker in Star Wars has sold for an impressive $200,000 (£133,000) at auction in the States.
Presented for sale by Star Wars producer Gary Kurtz, the 'weapon' was famously wielded by actor Mark Hamill in both 'Star Wars: a New Hope' and 'The Empire Strikes Back'.
It is not yet known who purchased the much-coveted piece of film history or indeed whether any of the profit will be donated to charity.
Liam Neeson was famously the first to make a lightsaber available for public sale in 2000. The acclaimed actor auctioned the lightsaber he used in his role as Jedi Knight Qui-Gon Jinn in 'The Phantom Menace' to raise money for Unicef supported charity Movie Action for Children.
The latest sale was housed by famed Hollywood memorabilia auction house 'Profiles in History' and Luke Skywalker's lightsaber was among several high profile pieces available to the highest bidder.
The helmet worn by actor Anthony Daniels as C-3PO in 'Star Wars Episode VI - Return of the Jedi' fetched $100,000 (£67,000), while his robotic hands, which were sold as a separate item, raised $30,000 (£20,000). A section of the Death Star from the original film was also presented for auction and sold for $20,000 (£13,000).
In addition, an original set of signed, first edition copies of the 'Lord of the Rings' trilogy, a first edition copy of Ian Fleming's 'You Only Live Twice' and costumes from 'Terminator 2: Judgment Day', 'Batman Forever' and 'Batman Begins' were among the other pieces of Hollywood memorabilia sold.

Horse Armoury, Tower of London by Rowlandson and Pugin, 1809
Benjamin Silliman (1779-1864) was an American scientist who went to see the Tower of London in 1805 while visiting Britain to further his studies in chemistry. He provides a detailed description of what he saw, including a lengthy account of the Horse Armoury at about the time it was illustrated by Thomas Rowlandson.
'The horse armoury is still more interesting… In it is a great collection of ancient armour, such as worn during the reign of the Conqueror, and from his period onward, till the introduction of firearms made a total change in the art of war. The first thing that strikes one on entering the room is the line of English kings from the Conqueror down, all mounted on horseback, arranged in complete suits of armour, equipped with weapons of those times, and attended by a long line of common soldiers, armed and clad in the fashion of the days of knight errantry. These suits of armour are no models or modern imitations, but the very authentic armour of the dark ages, and, ascertained in many instances, to have belonged to particular distinguished individuals. For instance, the suit in which William, Prince of Orange, is arranged is the same suit which was worn by Edward the Black Prince, at the glorious battle of Cressy. Edward V has a crown suspended over his head. You will remember that he was proclaimed but never crowned. The horses are very well executed and the faces of the monarchs are no contemptible imitations of their portraits. There is the gigantic suit of John of Gaunt, seven feet high, with his sword and lance of correspondent proportions. It seems scarcely credible that such a suit of armour was ever worn, yet one can hardly suppose that it would have been made had there not been a man to wear it.
…This collection of ancient armour is very interesting, and although it was extremely gratifying to my curiosity, I felt it to be still more important as illustrating history. One is thus enabled to form a very perfect idea of the appearance of European armies before the invention of gunpowder, and of the modern art of war which has resulted from it. In some instances the armour is so complete that it covers every inch of the person, even the feet, hands and face; the very boots are burnished steel and the whole man exhibits a brilliant surface of the same materials. It is easy to conceive that in a bright day an army must have made a very splendid appearance, for, not the riders only, but the horses too were clad in armour.
…The most splendid piece of armour is one presented by the city of London to Charles I when Prince of Wales. It is polished steel, inlaid with gold, formed into elegant figures. Indeed, the suits of most of the kings are more or less ornamented with gold, except that of the Conqueror which is plain. The armour of Edward VI is divided into compartments, in which are curiously represented portions of scripture history, commemorating battles and other memorable transactions'.

The Tigers scored two runs each in the bottom of the first and third innings leaving the Panthers to play catch-up, which they tried to do in the top of the fifth by scoring two runs, but the Tigers put a stop to it and won the game.

The Tigers stomped the Panthers in the second game 22-0 as Howard pitched a two-hitter, struck out nine, and walked three. The Tigers scored six runs in the first, five in the second, five in the third, one in the fourth, and five in the fifth. Rubner went 5-5 with four RBI.

A person who sucks at life. They are incapable of performing basic and simple daily tasks (with the exception of masturbation).
You have your left turn signal on and are clearly trying to merge into the left lane; instead of slowing down to allow you to change lanes, the Jackwacker behind you speeds up to block your access. This guy is a complete Jackwacker; he sucks at life.

People who want to get rid of Nicks because he is "injury prone" need to put down the PCP, because that perception is just insane. The guy has one injury plagues year, and all of a sudden he is as fragile as glass?On top of that, these same people are claiming he hurt his groin(we don't even know to what extent) due to him being out of shape, because he missed OTAs. Why would Nicks, who was working out with the team prior to OTAs, just stop training out of the blue? People need to realize that him not being at OTAs doesn't mean he just decided to stop training.
The season hasn't even begun yet and people are ready to right Nicks off? Absolutely ridiculous, but expected on these boards.

Those of you who sell alot of candles...do you pre-dip the wicks before pouring the candle ?
Those of you who sell alot of candles...do you pre-dip the wicks before pouring the candle ?
We do not prime the wicks in our candles. IMO priming the wicks is unnecessary and a waste of time. I also think primed wicks are somewhat unattractive on the shelf.
All that said, there are some who feel priming is absolutely needed.
Test your mold both ways and see if you can tell the difference. We sure can't.
Thank you. When I have tested I didnt find any difference either.
Charlotte Anderson - SC Master Beekeeper
"Obviously, my bees have not read the same beekeeping books as me !"
Made them for years w/o priming the wicks. However, in competition (Honey & Wax Shows) they want to see the wicks coated.
That is interesting Sheri. I prime my wicks. I think they look better primed...Interestin how beauty is in the eye of the beholder....too cool
I don't prime mine

A little bit about Zizkov area:
Zižkov is one of Prague's most accessible places to live and a very convenient destination for commuters. Žižkov can also be reached on foot from Karlín via the pedestrian tunnel under Vítkov Hill. Commuting to the city centre by tram from there should take around 10 minutes or even less.
Some of nearest attractions :
*TV Tower (10-12 min walk)
*National Monument (10-15min walk)
*Wenceslas square (15-20 min walk)

Yo no soy realmente capaz de permanecer en este apartamento .. porque lamentablemente cinco días antes de la salida o tenido un inesperado y o tuvieron que cambiar la fecha de salida .. Le pregunté a la bondad Emil y olga cambiar date..quali antes de que me pidieron que Se le da y luego me respondió più..fino días antes del vencimiento (después de mis recuerdos de curso) empezar diciéndome que ya es demasiado tarde para hacer el cambio ...
Me pregunto lo que estaba tirando el tiempo (tal vez por no darme el pago mínimo)?
In realtà non sono riuscita ad alloggiare in questo appartamento.. perché purtroppo 5 giorni prima di partenza o avuto un imprevisto e o dovuto cambiare la data di partenza.. ho chiesto la gentilezza ad emil&olga di cambiare le date..quali prima mi hanno chiesto di che date si trattava e poi non mi hanno risposto più..fino al giorno prima della dovuta(dopo i miei solleciti ovviamente) partenza dicendomi che è troppo tardi per fare il cambio...
Mi chiedo solo a cosa serviva tirare il tempo(forse per non darmi quel minimo di rimborso)?
Apartamento pequeño pero muy bonito cerca del centro de la ciudad. A excepción de algunos detalles menores, como sólo una toalla para dos personas durante cuatro noches y en su mayoría rusos sat-tv, todo era perfecto para nosotros.
Small but very nice apartment near the city center. Except for some minor details, like only one towel for two persons over four nights and mostly russian sat-tv, everything was perfect for us.
Agradable estancia, incluso podríamos quedarnos una noche más espontáneamente!
Nice stay, we could even stay one night longer spontaneously!
Muy buena ubicación, muy céntrico, todo estaba a una corta distancia alcanzable para mí importante. El apartamento está decorado con mucho gusto, muy limpio y bien mantenido.
Sehr gute Lage, sehr zentral, alles für mich Wichtige war fußläufig erreichbar. Die Wohnung ist sehr geschmackvoll eingerichtet, sehr sauber und gepflegt.
Evrything was fine before arriving at the house, once we where in the appartment we had difficulties with the keys of the door of the house we ask for help but it was not given, also we missed simple thing like papertowels and toilett paper . ..we had to buy...sorry for the inconvinient but we felt no care for us no help ...
Very accommodating about our arrival time. They stayed late and Emil stayed even later to give us a map, make a number of recommendations based on our interests, then make sure we knew exactly where we were going to get to our apartment from the office. The apartment itself was perfect! It is very modern like the title suggests with nice new appliances (including stove, small fridge, and a washing machine!!!) and a great shower. The internet and satellite TV were a huge plus as well. The location is fantastic as it's not in an expensive, touristy area at all, but still only a 15-20min walk to the Old Town. Never felt unsafe in the neighbourhood, even late at night. When it was time to check out, we were able to leave our bags right in their office with an employee (the Vancouver Canuck fan - so sorry but we never did get your name!) and when it was time to catch our bus he helped us greatly with getting a taxi to the bus station - even running around outside with us to make sure we found the right taxi and to ensure the driver knew exactly where he was going and how much the fare should be. Overall an absolutely fantastic place to stay and we are definitely going to try to get the same apartment the next time we're in Prague!
Goeie prijs/kwaliteit verhouding, het appartement is schoon en locatie is uitstekend. Bedden slapen ook prima. Het appartement bevind zich aan de achterkant van een woonblok dus ook qua geluid is het er stil.
Keuken is top, goeie kookapparatuur. Prima appartementje voor het geld.
Enige nadeel is de douchecabine, de aansluiting is niet helemaal waterdicht dus als er 2 achter elkaar gaan douchen is er een hele laag water op de vloer, deze loopt ook de woonkamer in. En elektrische bedrading loopt ook langs de douche, is wel geïsoleerd dus (nog) geen direct gevaar voor kortsluiting, maar voor de veiligheid kan dat best afgewerkt worden in de muur.
Service met Alex en Kate is ook prima! Erg vriendelijke mensen.
Ik raad dit appartement aan.

Early moves, ready cash signal busy year for M&A
Only months into the New Year, Michigan merger and acquisition deal flow is brimming.
Holland-based Haworth Inc. announced a $270 million deal to acquire a stake in an Italian furniture maker. Van Buren Township-based Visteon Corp. is acquiring Johnson Controls Inc.'s electronics unit for $265 million.
These deals indicate an increase in deal flow for 2014, experts say, thanks to a pile of cash in waiting and willing lenders.
New deals in 2014 will be a mix of strategic buyers looking to build markets, with technology, customer access or geographical locations, and private equity seeking to use their cash reserves, or "dry powder," said Brendan Cahill, partner and director of the automotive industry group at law firm Dykema Gossett PLLC in Bloomfield Hills.
"There's lots of money available to be deployed, whether that's on the balance sheet or in private equity funds, and Michigan companies are attracting strong interest," Cahill said. "If they see opportunity, they are going to be aggressive."
The capital on the sidelines nationally is creating an eagerness to invest, according to Dykema's Merger and Acquisitions Survey, published in October. A majority of the respondents, 68 percent, expect the M&A market to be stronger this year.
Richard Hilgert, automotive securities analyst for Morningstar Inc. in Chicago, said the substantial cash held by Michigan's public companies is "burning a hole in their pockets." Shareholders are pressuring these companies to use the cash, forcing companies to seek acquisition growth versus raising shareholder dividends.
"Companies don't want to raise dividends too substantially; they don't want to get into a situation where they have to roll them back later if we enter another downturn, which would upset investors," Hilgert said. "They have to put that money to use, and if they don't have significant debt to pay down, they will go out and start pounding the pavement for acquisitions."
Chet Mowrey, partner at PricewaterhouseCoopers LLC's deals practice in Detroit, said the quest for technology will push deals in 2014.
"The focus across most industries is technology; that's what is propelling businesses now and in the future," Mowrey said. "We're seeing companies looking for technologies that exist and are proven, but not massively distributed, which are getting bought and exploded into a macro space by M&A."
"We're very open if it's drivetrain or engine and wherever it may be in the world. That gives us some flexibility," Auburn Hills-based BorgWarner Inc. CEO James Verrier said in the survey. "We have about 30 possible target companies that we're evaluating. Some are very preliminary; some are getting much closer toward potential transaction."
Analysts expect the trend of mounting M&A activity in the automotive and health care industries, but also expansive deal making in the banking industry in 2014 as banks consolidate.
The banks that survived the recession proved their staying power. But the increased cost of compliance as a result of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act has many smaller banks looking for acquirers to achieve economies of scale.
That national industry trend, coupled with a much stronger Michigan economy, should mean more acquisitions here along the lines of the $173 million acquisition in January of Ann Arbor-based United Bancorp Inc. by Evansville, Ind.-based Old National Bancorp (Nasdaq: ONB), according to John Donnelly, a managing director in the Grosse Pointe investment banking firm of Donnelly Penman & Partners.
"The United Bank deal kicked the lid off the can. Every bank board room in the state is studying that deal," said Donnelly. "That was for more than two times tangible book value. It was a wowee deal. It was a very nice property that brought a very nice price, and you're going to see other big deals moving forward."
Much of the transaction action may come from large private equity investors looking to enter the now stable Michigan market, Cahill said.
Investible private equity, or "dry powder," swelled to more than $1 trillion, according to the Global Private Equity Report, released by Boston-based firm Bain & Co. last week.
"We see an uptick in deal activity and ferocious competition on the horizon ...," Hugh MacArthur, Bain's global head of private equity, said in a news release.
Brian Demkowicz, managing partner of Detroit-based Huron Capital Partners LLC, annually the most active private equity firm in Michigan, said 2014 will be an active year for M&A, with higher valuations, due to new funds and better access to debt.
"There are a number of funds nearing the end of their terms, and they either have to get an extension from the limited partners or figure out how to get companies sold," he said.
Typically, funds raise money based on a 10-year life cycle, with the first six years or so spent buying companies and improving their bottom lines, then the next four years are spent on selling them and returning money to the funds' investors.
Firms near the end of one fund's cycle will be out raising money for a new fund, and that money is harder to raise if their limited partners are still waiting to get paid and they have companies yet to be sold.
Another big driver is more senior debt available for private equity firms to leverage, Demkowicz said.
"There is a lot of money chasing deals, fueled by the credit market," Demkowicz said. "Banks are as active as they have ever been; they're flush with cash and loosening their lending standards. That's fueling the fire."
Finally, he said, stock markets at all-time highs are driving deal prices higher.
Last January, Huron closed on its fourth and largest fund, passing its target of $400 million and raising $500 million.
Another trend pushing private equity-led deals is firms pushing for current stakeholders to "leave chips on the table" to ensure a growth plan, Cahill said. He said many deals will involve private equity taking a majority stake while asking management or the current owners to maintain a smaller stake in the company.
A recent example is the majority shareholder stake of Auburn Hills-based Guardian Industries Corp. KGCI LLC, a subsidiary of Wichita, Kan.-based Koch Industries LLC, acquired in late 2012.
The deal made Koch the largest individual shareholder of Guardian, reducing the stakes of longtime Guardian executives and founding family members. Koch's 44 percent stake allowed the firm to take control of Guardian while diversifying the ownership stakes of Karen Davidson, widow of founder Bill Davidson, who died in 2009, and his adult children.
"We're seeing more relationship-based transactions; private equity is spending a lot of time getting to know people and the companies," Cahill said. "This proves the seller has faith in the future of the company, and PE loves that."

[quote user="nycsportzfan"]I've been outta commish for a bit while i was moving and switching internet service, was wondering if anyone knows anything about COMP PICKS for Boss/Smith/Cofield???
Wondering where u have been. I was looking for advice on a 2012 Mock Draft for Draftcountdown .I was looking at Texas vs UCLA last night. I never saw the game. Ayers was fantastic, very impressive game tape. I can really appreciate how difficult it is to scout players. If U dont watch the right gametapes u dont get the complete picture
Ive been trying to calculate that myself. The number 1 thing they use is contract but playing time and awards do factor in as well. The stick in the mud in this is Steve Smith. I just dont know what there going to value him as because of his injury. We may only get a 6th rounder for him because of the contract when in reality he was worth much more before he was hurt. Im guessing that Coefield would fetch a 3rd, Boss probably a 4th or 5th but Baas is a borderline 3 or 4. If i was to guess i think at the moment we will receive a 3rd and a 6th

. . . . . . . . . . If you gonna crown'em then crown their ****!!!!!!!!!!!
. . . . . . . . . . If you gonna crown'em then crown their ****!!!!!!!!!!!
Number two, the Giants offense is better than the niners offense and we have way better weapons.
Number three, the Giants special teams is much improved from last year.
Number four, the niners haven't put much pressure on opposing Qbs and if they don't put pressure on Manning, they will lose.
I concede that the niners have a much better defense but it won't mean anything if Manning is sitting back there in the pocket. He pick them apart. This will be a close game and can go either way.
Guys he is so riigght - i mean if you think about it we should give back our rings to the pats in 07 and 11 - lets face it brady moss gronk welker wilfork harrison, faulk, - samuel - and now the niners have an average group of wideouts - a very good rb and a good oline with a field general qb and Excellent defense and all we have is the best duo in football at wideout and crazy depth behind them - a nice back in ab and electric back in waiting - arguable the best d end in the game - saavy pro bowl vets in osi and tuck - an upstart at te in bennett and the greatest qb in giant history. We have no shot as we didnt then either. I'd be surprised if we even play the game.
Why do you guys think I am trolling.I am telling it how I have seen it on game film of the games.Like we have played nobody and struggled so far vs better teams like the birds.I have no idea why right now you think we are on the Niner level.Last year is last year.
Niners are playing great but these are the games we seem to win. If Nicks plays it will be huge, same goes for Rivers as he will help with Gore. We know they're going to attack on the edges after what Shady and TR did so we slide our coverage. Like I said Rivers will help us tremendously. I honestly believe if Rivers and Nicks played in Philly we would have smoked them. Defense against the run is why we got Rivers.
The only guy I worry about is Davis and Moss. Webby, Prince, Coe and Rolle know Rio's tendency to break early. So we could have some picks off him.
Ringing in the 2012 season!
Our only advantage vs the Niners is at qb if Nicks is out.There wrs Manningham,Crabtree,V.Davis,Moss...etc outways only cruz if that is how it is.Where other places do you see an advantage.Advantage vs Bowman/Willis? How about vs the Smiths who are dominating right now.The problem is you guys are talking about last season and not what we have seen through 5 weeks.
One day everyone will learn - if number 10 steps on the field we have a chance to win every game. And reese has proven he can draft depth and has an annwer for the inevitable injuries that occur at all other spots.

A White House petition to:
Direct the EPA to commission a comprehensive third-party study of the effect of agricultural chemicals on honeybees.
According to the American Beekeeping Federation, honeybees contribute over $14 billion to the value of US crop production. However, large-scale die-offs (30-80%) of commercial bee colonies are occurring, affecting the growth of important crops such as almonds and apples which require bee pollination.
While many studies have been conducted, no well-funded, large-scale study on the complex relationships between bees, chemicals, and agriculture has been done.
The Administration should direct and fund the EPA to commission an impartial, third-party comprehensive study of the effects of pesticides, fungicides, and commercial beekeeping practices on honeybee colonies in the U.S. and abroad in order to determine which (if any) chemicals should be limited or banned.

NMSU students create self-sustaining community
More than 1,000 pounds fresh produce grown
If you've ever eaten at the 100 West Cafe at New Mexico State University, you've probably enjoyed the taste of fresh produce grown right across the street at the fields on campus.
Students from three different majors working together have created a self-sustaining community.
It's part of a pilot program to supply dining services on campus with fresh produce and promote sustainability on campus.
"We've probably had over 1,000 pounds of produce just off of this little-bitty area," said NMSU student Bryce Richards.
In the fields, students are growing eggplants, tomatoes, okra and more. Since June, agriculture students at NMSU have built up a self-sustaining cycle.
"A lot of people think food just comes from a grocery store, and I think it will do a lot to actually have student involvement where they come out and actually see where their food is coming from," Richards said.
Produce goes from the fields straight into the kitchen at 100 West Cafe, a restaurant run by hotel, restaurant and tourism management students.
Students put the produce into the meals, and any leftovers get put into buckets that go back outside. Then, environmental sciences students turn the waste into compost that's eventually used to fertilize the fields, restarting the cycle.
"It's also a pleasure to work with fresh produce that you know where it's coming from. They don't use genetically modified seeds or anything. It's all very organic," NMSU student Brooke Stathis told ABC-7.
The customers at 100 West Cafe see the difference.
"I think that is so awesome. To be able to grow it and then serve it here. The service here is awesome. The food's good. We come here quite often just because it's really great," said cafe patron Judy Davis.
"It's kind of really cool being able to take this up to a larger scale and see it actually being applied," Richards said.
After the students graduate, they hope to take the skills they learned in the fields and in the kitchen and use them in the community to help create a more sustainable Las Cruces.
"I think it would be inspiring for other schools and other communities as well, not necessarily universities, but maybe high schools to start getting students at a younger age to be able to understand that there's a way to make everything come back around," Stathis said.
The crops are not certified organic just yet. Students are following all the guidelines and hope to get them certified in three years.
If all goes well with the pilot program, students said their crops could eventually supply the entire campus with fresh produce.

Waynesville Disc Golf Juniors Receives Grant from the PDGA
The Waynesville Disc Golf Juniors team has started preparing for the Western Carolina Juniors Championship with a boost from the Professional Disc Golf Association (www.pdga.com). This will be held on August 3 in Waynesville at the Waynesville Recreation Center.
The Waynesville Disc Golf Juniors Team was one of 5 national recipients of the $500 Innovation Grant. This is awarded twice a year from the PDGA . The PDGA Innovation Grant Program has been created to assist in the promotion and growth of the golf and the Professional Disc Golf Association.
"I am really excited that we were awarded this grant," Tim Petrea, Program Specialist with the Waynesville Parks and Recreation Department, said. "Disc golf is a great sport that is growing by the day here in Waynesville," he added.
It is because of this grant that 15 new Waynesville and Haywood County disc golfers will receive new disc sets and full scholarships to the Western Carolina Juniors Championship.
Petrea invites all of those who are interested in being a part of the disc golf juniors program to come and participate every Tuesday in July and prepare for this tournament and others. There is a small fee involved.
"The great thing about this sport is that any age can participate, any ability, and the discs are very economical," Petrea said. "And of course it does not cost anything to play," he added.
There are a few courses in the area. There is an 18 hole course at the Waynesville Recreation Center and at Haywood Community College.
For more information about the Western Carolina Juniors Championship or about disc golf in general please call the Waynesville Recreation Center at 456-2030 or email email@example.com

So did the Korean exodus happen last night as predicted? Because I bowed out last night to catch up on AKB0048 *coughs*... Anyway, it looks like I'm taking the looooong road through Inferno, as it's going to take some saving to get a better weapon that isn't, you know, blue. And the selection in the AH the other day didn't look too attractive either...
As a diversion, I made a wizard. Named him Kyon, in honor of the fact that it's Crispin Freeman voicing the male wizard. Heh.

Where is the list of everyone's battletags? Cant find it in such a long thread.
Magic Find is VERY useful. with 239%MF, if i swap to MF right before an elite kill I am almost guaranteed a rare, sometimes even 2, but occasionally only blues even with no NV stack at all. Given the difficulty of Act 3 elite those MF gear is worth every penny as long as its <200k.
In 1.0.3 I would be excited to get 2-3 rares every elite pack after 5 stacks :O.
Gold find I never bothered to get a set, there are (still) ways to get >500k an hour easily with gold find gear. I sort of like the gold find that just happen to be on my gear as they contribute a little to cover for repair costs.

rollback will affect too many innocents: blizzard will most likely not do it. Even if they do, the rollback wouldnt be anything more than a day.
Some exploiters might have been doing it for weeks. They already have plan B and C ready: they sold gold for real money and sold gold over d2jsp. They might have given their friends a full set of godly gears. All they have to do is buy a new account, level it up to 60, and enjoy a life of wealth. Oh, @$10/mil, $1k is only 100mil...

Typical reddit.
FD, you do realize these are the same guys who claimed people could "hack" other players just from their battle tags, right? LOL.

According to diablo.incgamers (not part of the fansite program) this dupe method might have been a giant hoax. Alot of hearsay going on it seems as no one now has proof, no videos, only shopped screenshots. Blizz denying hotfixing anything.
Again, as with the supposed wave of account hacks: It's hard to find the truth in between here. Don't believe everything blizz is trying to tell you but by all means don't believe every bit of internet community hype either. Both are unreliable sources.

Power restored in NE Colorado Springs
10,000 customers initially lost electricity
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - Several power outages left thousands of Colorado Springs residents in the dark on Monday afternoon. Most electricity was restored by 3:30 p.m.
Colorado Springs Utilities said that the outages, caused by a failed transmission line, initially affected about 10,000 customers. Some smaller outages remained on the city's northeast side. See this map for the outage boundaries.
The outages apparently affected an area between the Chapel Hills Mall, north to Powers Boulevard and Highway 83. Police said the outages led to several traffic accidents after signals at intersections went out.
"Drivers are supposed to treat those intersections as four-way stops, and some drivers didn't do that," said an officer at the intersection of Voyager and Interquest Parkways where a three-vehicle accident occurred.
There were no serious injuries reported.
Classes at Pikes Peak Community College's Rampart Range Campus were canceled for the remainder of the day and evening, surprising many students who hadn't heard about the situation.
"I had just finished taking a test and started my class when the lights went out," said one student. "I live an hour away, and was glad it didn't happen after I left."
Some students and even a faculty member expressed relief that classes were canceled. They said it gave them more time to study or prepare for a lesson.
If your power is still out, you're asked to call the utility 448-4800.

Surveillance for adult and pediatric influenza-related hospitalizations is a collaborative project between U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC - EIP), Oregon hospitals' infection control staff, Oregon Public Health Division's Emerging Infections Program.
The project began because of an unusually early start to the 2003-2004 influenza season coupled with reports of influenza-associated complications and deaths in children.
As a result, the EIP states began conducting population-based surveillance to assess the burden of influenza in pediatric patients. Adult influenza hospitalization surveillance began during the 2005-06 influenza season and expanded upon the existing pediatric surveillance structure. The primary objective for these surveillance projects is to determine the rate of influenza among these populations as well as describe the characteristics of children and adults with severe flu. These projects also contribute to evaluations of current influenza vaccine recommendations.
Surveillance Activities
Special Studies
Enhanced surveillance is conducted for:
Trivalent Invactivated Influenza Vaccine (TIV) Effectiveness (2008-2011)The TIV study is a multi-state study funded by CDC to determine the effectiveness of TIV among persons 50 and older in preventing laboratory confirmed hospitalizations.
