But That isnt what I said. You cannot personally attack a man in the media, the way Ingram did to Wilson and then expect him to not respond. I am actually quite impressed with Wilson;s response. He did not get personal the way the coaches did. He did not say the giants need to grow up and be a man, the way the coaches did.
Again, he said he awaits his opportunity. That is exactly what he is supposed to say.
Lastly, the coaches are supposed to be leaders. In this instance, they clearly were not, or at least Ingram was not. .Ingram wants Wilson to "grow up" yet he goes to the media to say it? Wilson's response is 100x more mature then Ingram's original statement.

Never argue with an idiot. They will only bring you down to their level and beat you with experience. MB Rule # 1

"Young cancer"
Only a fool would come out and question his coaches over playing time. He things getting the press on his side is going to help him get playing time. Sorry this is not dallas. Our coaches dont get pushed around by rookies.
The answer is simple, "If you have to ask you will never know"

I know there are not too many Bossk builds out there, but for those that have accomplished their build, this plea is for you.
Please help me out with the items you used to construct the costume.
Any help would be appreciated
Need info for the metal flak strap holders on the arms (what to use), the black vest/neckseal, the hose under the red hose (I think I can use a dry suit hose for that), and all the wires running down the suit and connectors. I spent a lot of time in hardware stores looking for the right material, but need someone to point me in the correct direction. Thank you.

enhance wildlife populations on the San Carlos, for the
benefit of the Tribe and for benefit of the ecosystem". The
Recreation and Wild Department plays an important role in
maintaining our lands and resources.
watching and wildlife photography activities along with
Hunting and Fishing guide information is available from the
website or by contacting the department directly at:
928-475-2361. Elk tags for trophy elk hunts staged on the
San Carlos Apache Reservation generates benefiting revenues
for the Tribe's Conservation Fund which is used for wildlife
survey, research and habitat improvement projects.
The San Carlos Apache Tribe's Wildlife and Recreation Department manages
its Dry Lake and Hilltop trophy elk herds which have
produced some of the largest antler bearing elk in the
world. The Department manages big game hunting by managing
hunter densities and limiting permit sales. Past years the
trophy elk tags are limited to three per hunt.
The 1.86 million acres lying within portions of Gila, Graham and Pinal
Counties, are remaining lands of the original San Carlos
Apache Reservation established by executive order in 1871.
Successful returning of territorial and habitat lands
remains a contemporary goal. San Carlos is the largest
Apache reservation and encompasses seven biotic regions
ranging from desert to forest. Its wildlife resources
include Rocky Mountain Elk, Coues-White Tailed Deer, Rocky
Mountain Big Horn Sheep, Desert Big Horn Sheep, Javelina,
Pronghorn Antelope, Black Bear, Mountain Lion, Wild Turkey,
predators and small game. These animal species are managed
by expert field professionals of Apache decent. Combining
today's modern advancements with inherent knowledge of our
lands created effective management programs.
San Carlos is an excellent fishery destination that include both cold
water and warm water fisheries. When full, San Carlos Lake
is the largest lake in Arizona with 158 miles of shoreline.
It contains state record holding Largemouth Bass, Black
Crappie and Flathead Catfish. Talkalai Lake fed by sacred
spring waters is home to monster largemouth bass, catfish,
crappie, bluegill and sunfish. Picnic tables surround the
Southern and Northern shore lines equipped permanent charcoal grills for
that catch of the day. The spring shad runs are a stable
food source for many birds and wildlife living along the San
Carlos river and waterways.
In addition to hunting and fishing, the San Carlos Apache Reservation
offers a variety of year-round recreational and cultural
opportunities for visitors. The San Carlos
Apache Cultural Center is located in Peridot on U.S. 70

Changes on the way for deadly intersection
Cal Trans has finally offered a solution after several recent wrecks
WHITEWATER, Calif. - An 18 year old woman lay unconscious Wednesday morning, after the latest traffic collision at what residents say is a dangerous intersection.
The accident was the second in a week, and at least the third in the last month.
Evidence of the intersections dangerous past litters the median and sides of Highway 62, near the intersection at Dillon Road.
There are extra stop signs in the median of the divided highway to help drivers cross the road safely. But, high speed limits and those stop signs are just the beginning to what makes the area so dangerous.
Robert Wendler works at Guide Dogs of the Desert, just up the hill from the intersection. He told us, "I cross this intersection every single day along with my employees and hundreds of volunteers that come up to our organization every year.
I've heard comments about how dangerous (it is), or they've had a close call here. Within the last three weeks we've had three vehicle accidents at this intersection."
Robert proceeded to show us the blind spots that several "Do Not Enter" signs create for drivers crossing the road.
Blind spots that he thinks are the culprit in many of the intersection's collisions, including the one he assisted with this morning.
"I think it was an obstructed view, and it really brought it to light to me when I crawled in the back of the car and found an unconscious 18 year old woman.
It woke me up. So I thought what can I do, what can we do, what can Cal Trans do to prevent a memorial from going out here," Wendler said.
As it turns out, Cal Trans is thinking the same thing. But, instead of moving the signs, a traffic signal will be installed at the intersection starting early next year.
Some people who frequent the intersection think installing the signal isn't necessary, especially for its projected cost of $1 million.
Nellie Viera is one of those who believe people just need to be more cautious. "It's costing a lot of people money, taxes you know. I think they don't (need it)," Viera said.
Unfortunately, drivers' habits cannot be changed in the course of a few days or even a year, which is about how long it's going to take to install the traffic signal.

I think a better case could be made that the LACK of enough 'Fake' bee food was a bigger contributor to the die offs. We all know bees are better off if they are in a good honey/pollen flow. But lacking that, corn syrup and sub is better than nothing.
As for the 'mysterious' part of it-no mystery. Drought(lack of good forage) and excessive mites pretty well covers it.
Wouldn't have expected anything less from PMS NEWS.
NUTRA-BEE feed supplements
That article must be the one that almost cost me my hives. I had to move out of town, it forced me to leave my hives with my friend who is a farmer but not a beekeeper. I dropped them off last fall, the colonies were strong but had very small stores. I told him he would have to feed them until winter and then again in the spring. He just let them sit and did nothing, said he read an article that said it was bad to feed them. One hive had starved and the others were bone dry and queenless when I got them back. I was heartbroken, I am just now getting them up to par. Two many people who know nothing about bees writing articles. Sugar water and corn syrup have been fed to them since they were brought over, long before CCD, mites, pesticides, etc. They never had that problem back then, are you telling me it has taken that long for sugar syrup to affect them. I blame pest and pesticides for a large part.
All beekeepers can agree on one thing, and that one thing is, that all beekeepers can't agree on one thing.
I know quite a few people who quit keeping bees when they died after not being fed, on the assumption it wasn't "natural" to feed them sugar.
It isn't natural to keep bees in hives, either. If you want honey, you have to manage the bees to make a large surplus, and to do that they HAVE to be in well supplied hives in the fall. If not, you will have "naturally" dead hives in the spring.
If you think about what happens in nature, the typical colony swarms about once a year (some more and some less). If the number of colonies in the world would double every year. In the long run half of those have to die to maintain a steady population (of course the population waxes and wanes with the droughts and flows etc.) For us to have anything better than a 50% survival rate we have to be doing something that isn't happening in nature. That something is feeding when the bees would have starved otherwise. Since bees put away a surplus to get through such times, and since we steal that surplus for our uses, it is only common sense that when those hard times come we feed them.
Michael Bush bushfarms.com/bees.htm "Everything works if you let it." ThePracticalBeekeeper.com 42y 40h 39yTF
Yes, when bees (that aren't new swarms or packages) need to be fed, and we have taken honey from that colony before that point, obviously we are at least part of the reason they need to be fed at that point in time, even if indirectly - so wouldn't that make it sort of our responsibility to feed them? I personally think it would, although I have to admit it's a personal your-mileage-may-vary thing.
Beeless since 2012; coming back in 2014. Suffering from apicultural withdrawal!
I would believe that HFCS is not the best thing to feed them. But the same in Sugar is way too high. So we do what we can.
I think the point of the article is that they should have their honey if possible. Otherwise, when we need to feed, we should be feeding them something a bit more healthy than soda crackers and pop.
This was discussed on reddit, and this top comment is relevant.
He basically says that it's an issue of a lack of a specific enzyme in the supplement feed which keeps them from having a naturally higher resistance to certain pesticides and chemicals (theoretically). So, I guess my question would be whether say, pollen patties, could take the place of this natural food, and whether the enzyme (which is present in a number of other foods and plants other than flower pollen and honey) is present in artificial foods like megabee.
Let me never fall into the vulgar mistake of dreaming that I am persecuted whenever I am contradicted. - Emerson

Dundee Hills Wine Experience
What a contrast of tastings I had this week!
After the Italy in the Valley unpleasantness, the Dundee Hills tasting was well organized and enjoyable!
The Dundee Hills tasting was held in a space that was new to me: the Leftbank Annex, near the Rose Quarter. It was an airy great space for this type of event, roomy and well lit, even with a little room upstairs to separate wines for a press tasting.
On entering the event, you got a Riedel Burgundy glass, a paper spit cup, and a sheet detailing who was pouring. They arranged the group well, too: newcomers were grouped together on the right; pioneers were arranged on the far left and the remaining wineries in the middle.
Upstairs was reserved for press, to give us a place away from the crowds to taste. Only one wine from each winery was there, but it was a nice opportunity to taste quickly, and they gave press a handy booklet in which to write notes. Well done!
Food was limited, but tasty, especially the small fingerling potatoes split and stuffed with mushrooms and cheese.
There were a lot of people there, but it did not feel crowded. You could still get to the producers to talk and ask questions.
You could taste the similarity across all the wines, no matter which vintage or winery. There was a pleasant black cherry core in each wine, linking them together.
The wines that I liked best are below. Please remember that wines change day to day and this is just a snapshot of what I tasted Thursday night. The 2008s were very tight and need time to unfold. Some of the 2007s were very nice as well. And a number of older wines appeared around the room. I did not taste the Eyrie 1977 Thursday night, but I have tasted that wine many times before, and as recently as 2 years ago.
Archery Summit
Red Hills Estate Vineyard 2007 $85
This wine showed more black fruit that the classic black cherry and showed very good depth and length. It reminded me of the great evolution these wines have seen in the last few years. Gone are the over extracted, oaky wines; now we see much more fruit and finesse.
Spirithouse Pinot Noir 2007 $60
A nice depth of black cherry fruit supported by acidity. Very long length. An attractive wine that doesn't shout, but sings.
Ayoub Wines
Ayoub Pinot Noir 2008 $52
The surprise of the tasting for me. A very new producer, and a lovely wine showing a very good depth of black cherry fruit, supporting acidity, and very silky texture. The wine showed some complexity, concentration and length. I want to follow this guy….
DePonte Cellars
Baldwin Family Reserve 2007 $70
A great example of an '07: very nice depth of flavor with a lovely richness mid palate, followed by long length.
The Eyrie Vineyards
Estate Pinot Noir 2008 $28.75
A leaner style, but lovely black cherry fruit with supporting acicity, and long length. It is tightly wound and needs time to develop. I heard that winemaker Jason Lett said of this wine that it was a color (darker) his father would never have recognized! It shows nicely now, but will age beautifully.
Lange Estate Winery
"Three Hills Cuvée" Pinot Noir 2008 $40
This wine showed a bright back cherry core of fruit, strong acidity and good mid palate depth with nice long length. Tight now, it needs time to unwind.
Westrey Wine Company
Oracle Vineyard Pinot Noir 2008 $28
Another lovely and tight 2008, showing a lovely depth of black cherry fruit, supporting acidity, a full palate, and long length. Needs time in bottle.
I also tasted a lovely 1999 Pinot from Westrey, but I did not write down the vineyard. When I asked co-owner Amy Wesselman if she brought the 1999 because she hopes this vintage will mirror that late one, she laughed and said yes!
The other wines I tasted were not bad; just not my favorites and there too were many of them to write down.

One in 10 hospital customers are impacted by nosocomial infections. The outcome is an expansion of hospital stays by more than 10 million patient days per year in European countries alone. Impregnating hospital textiles, such as bedding and bandages, with antibacterial nanoparticles, would considerably decrease hospital-acquired infections, enhance client outcomes and save millions of euros. To attain this, a project expanded on a recently proven and patented single-step laboratory procedure. This involved impregnating the textiles with copper oxide and zinc oxide nanoparticles. Nanoparticle-coated materials had been tested and displayed effective anti-bacterial properties and great longevity. The pilot plants showed that this might be an effective method of creating textiles with strong anti-bacterial attributes. Scientists found that steel oxide nanoparticles can destroy both sensitive bacteria and germs that are resistant to antibiotics. To demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of antibacterial nanoparticles in a medical center environment. Earlier to this research, no chemical treatment for producing and impregnating textiles with antibacterial nanoparticles existed on an industrial scale. Many thanks to this task, antibacterial textiles will be manufactured by a one-step process that makes use of nanoparticles. This decreases production time and fibre damage, lowers production costs and utilizes an environmentally friendly water solution. Textile manufacturers today have all they require to move up commercialisation efforts.

Staff & Student News
Associate Curator Bill Parkinson (Anthropology) and his colleague Paul Duffy (University of Toronto) received a Senior Archaeology grant from the National Science Foundation for a project entitled, "Heterogeneity and Complexity in Bronze Age Europe: Divergence of Social Trajectories on the Great Hungarian Plain." The grant, in the amount of $91,614, funds the excavation and analysis of a Bronze Age cemetery in southeastern Europe. European Bronze Age studies have focused primarily on the way in which hierarchy emerged and operated in complex societies, and very little is known about areas where agricultural and metallurgical production intensified but basically egalitarian social systems remained. The project examines the funerary customs, distribution of wealth, patterns of migration, and participation in macro-regional trade by excavating and analyzing an Otomani (Gyulavarsánd, ca. 2,100–1,400 BC) culture cemetery in southeastern Hungary. The controlled comparison of community patterns from this Bronze Age cemetery in the Körös region to cemeteries in other areas will allow evaluation of current models of social complexity in Bronze Age Europe and can be used for exploring the development and suppression of social inequality in other parts of the world.
Former Research Scientist Torsten Dikow (BioSynC, 2008–2012) has accepted a new position as Research Entomologist/Curator in the Department of Entomology at the National Museum of Natural History (NMNH), Smithsonian Institution in Washington, DC. He will continue his phylogenetic and taxonomic work on flies and as curator will be responsible for part of the Diptera collection. Torsten can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Research & Publications
Assistant Curator Corrie Moreau (Zoology/Insects) and members of her lab hosted the 2nd annual Chicago Area Joint Ant Lab Meeting on October 13. This one-day meeting has grown to include ant scientists from across the Midwest and this year over 30 people attended from 10 institutions and five states. The scientific talks covered ant research topics as diverse as behavior, ecology, host-associated microbes, evolution, and genomics.
A paper co-authored by Regenstein Conservator JP Brown (Anthropology) entitled "Challenges in CT scanning of small animal mummies" was published in the catalog of the Oriental Institute's new special exhibit, Between Heaven And Earth: Birds in Ancient Egypt, which opened on October 16. In addition to objects representing the variety of ways in which birds pervaded Egyptian society, the catalog and exhibit show CT scans and volumetric renderings performed by JP and his co-workers. Image left: Volumetric rendering and segmentation of the CT scan of Oriental Institute to reveal the wrapped skeleton of the mummified bird inside its painted wood coffin (specimen E154).

Associate Curator and Chair Ryan Williams (Anthropology) was the Keynote Speaker at the Archaeological Sciences of the Americas Symposium held at Vanderbilt University on October 6. Ryan spoke on "Migration, Trade and Human-Environment Interactions through the lens of Archaeological Science," drawing on two decades of archaeological field research in the Andes to address the role archaeological science has played in our understanding of the Ancient American past. Discussing how the expansion of scientific techniques in archaeology has revolutionized the way questions of critical importance to society are addressed, Ryan highlighted topics such as how urban migration changed society, what creates stable trading systems conducive to economic growth, and how society's impact on the environment affects long term vulnerability. His collaborative and interdisciplinary research on these topics, especially his work on the Wari and Tiwanaku (600–1,000 AD) frontier in Peru and Bolivia, provides a number of rich examples of the ways in which geophysical prospection, compositional analysis, and geographic models are building a more accurate and more relevant view of our past and our future.
Fieldwork & Collections
The Division of Amphibians and Reptiles hosted graduate student Jay Reed during the week of October 15. Reed, a Doctoral student in the Ecology and Evolutionary Biology program at the University of Michigan, is studying ectoparasitic mites and their association with mite pockets and lizards. During his visit to The Field Museum, Reed examined close to 200 specimens of Phrynosomatidae as a part of his research. Data gathered from FMNH specimens will be used in his project documenting the abundance and distribution of ectoparasites and the morphological diversity of mite pockets in these lizards.
Associate Curator Bill Parkinson (Anthropology) conducted a month-long field season in southern Greece in June and July where he conducted archaeological research aimed at understanding how early agricultural villages evolved in the southernmost part of the European continent. Bill is American Co-Director of The Diros Project, an international, multi-disciplinary, Greek-American research project that explores human social dynamics on the Mani Peninsula of southern Greece. The project is co-directed by Drs. Giorgos Papathanassopoulos and Anastasia Papathanasiou of the Greek Ministry of Culture, and Michael Galaty of Millsaps College. The primary goal of the project is to examine the role of Alepotrypa Cave in the Mani Peninsula within long-term processes of cultural change associated with the European Neolithic, when agriculture lifestyles were introduced and people gathered together into larger, more complex settlements. The project seeks to discover how the Mani's unique cultural trajectory and remote geographic location influenced its integration into different social, political, and economic interaction spheres at different points in time. This year, Bill and his colleagues continued archaeological surveys in the region around Alepotrypa Cave and initiated excavations at an open-air Final Neolithic site located outside the entrance to Alepotrypa Cave. The Institute for Aegean Prehistory, the Anthropology Department Collections Fund, the Anthropology Alliance Internship Program, and the Women's Board Field Dreams Program all helped to fund the project. More about Bill's project is here. See Header Image.
Public Education & Media Coverage
On October 22, C&R Media Interns Jared Berent and Kate Webbink released a new The Field Revealed entitled The Harris Learning Collection. The video explores The Field Museum's 100-year-old N.W. Harris Learning Collection that re-opened on October 16. The Harris Collection is a unique educational resource tied to the museum's amazing collections and is available to all parents and educators in the Chicago area!
On October 12, Regenstein Conservator JP Brown (Anthropology) visited the Chinese American Museum of Chicago, where he taught a two-hour workshop on disaster response for museum workers from the Chicago Cultural Alliance.
Chief Conservator Ruth Norton assisted by Conservation Assistants Lauren Fahey and Sophie Hammond-Hagman (all Anthropology), conducted a one-day workshop on Collection Risk Assessment and Mitigation for six professionals from Indian museums and archaeological sites. Anthropology collection storage and exhibit cases were assessed in the workshop. The workshop was a component of a three-week course conducted by the Art Institute of Chicago (AIC). The Ministry of Culture, Government of India, and the AIC, sponsored by the Government of India and the US Department of State, organized a four year Vivekananda Memorial Program for Museum Excellence to exchange best practices in various areas of museum responsibilities.
On October 18, Regenstein Conservator JP Brown (Anthropology) gave an invited lecture on recent CT scans of the Field Museum's mummies to Chicago's South Suburban Archaeological Society.
On October 14, Dr. Florina Capistrano-Baker gave a presentation at the Museum on the book Philippine Ancestral Gold. Dr. Capistrano-Baker is the curator for the permanent exhibit The Gold of Our Ancestors at the Ayala Museum in the Philippines. Her talk, which drew over 60 guests, was part of Filipino American History Month celebrations coordinated by the Philippine Consulate General in Chicago. She is on an international book tour funded by the Ayala Museum to promote Philippine Ancestral Gold, which was released last year. Dr. Capistrano-Baker's presentation covered the history and significance of the gold objects in the book and in the exhibit.
The Field Museum cares for one of the world's largest collections of ethnohistoric objects from the Philippines. A few of these artifacts were brought out for viewing during the presentation. The Museum is also home to the Agusan Image; a 13th century gold figurine from the Philippines on exhibit in the Grainger Hall of Gems. Dr. Capistrano-Baker's presentation was followed by a talk on the Agusan Image by Collections Manager Jamie Kelly (Anthropology), who had contributed an essay to the book. Afterwards, Jamie led a discussion on the co-curation of the Philippines collections at the museum by the Filipino American community.

Modulation vs. Automation
- Live Versions: 9
- Operating System: All
Automation is the movement of a control across the Arrangement timeline or Session clip.
In Live 9 you can draw an automation envelope with your mouse, or record it in real time in Arrangement and Session view by moving the parameter during playback.
To ensure automation recording, Automation Arm has to be enabled.
To record an automation in Session View, hit the Session Record button: the active Clip playhead will turn red, indicating that all the control movements will be recorded in that Clip.
To record an automation in Arrangement view, hit the Global Record button.
To view and edit automation envelopes in Session View, show the Envelopes Box containing the Device Parameter list by clicking the button labeled E.
A red square will mark the parameter for which an automation is already active.
When dragging this Clip to Arrangement View, or when hitting the Global Record button and triggering this Clip, the automation envelopes will be copied into the arrangement.
Modulation is also a movement of a control across the Arrangement timeline or Session Clip, but relative to the defined parameter value.
Whereas automation envelopes define the value of a control at any given point in time, modulation envelopes can only influence this defined value.
In order to enable the modulation for a certain parameter, right click on the device parameter and choose Show Modulation from the context menu. Now the corresponding entry will be listed in the Device Parameter list as well.

Nice signing by Reese...
From Jenny V at the star ledger:
Defensive tackle Shaun Rogers returned to the Giants on a one-year deal worth $1.005 million, but it is also a split contract to protect the team against injury. Rogers' contract has a $20,000 signing bonus, a $45,000 weight bonus and a base salary of $940,000, but the split lowers his salary to $433,000 if he lands on injured reserve. Rogers spent the 2012 season on IR with a blood clot in his leg. Rogers' base salary counts just $555,000 against the cap because of the veteran minimum salary benefit rule.

Cardiolipin antibodies (IgG, IgM, IgA), anticardiolipin
A cardiolipin antibodies test measures the concentration of the antibodies IgG (immunoglobulin G), IgA (immunoglobulin A), and IgM (immunoglobulin M) as they relate to the amount of cardiolipins. Cardiolipin is a phospholipid, or lipid (fat) molecule, in the blood. The levels of these antibodies are often high in people with abnormal blood clotting, autoimmune diseases like lupus, or repeated miscarriages.
Your health care provider may order a cardiolipin antibodies test if you are having frequent and abnormal blood clot formation or abnormal bleeding. If you have had frequent miscarriages, the test might help doctors figure out why. Finally, some autoimmune diseases, such as lupus, are related to the presence of cardiolipin antibodies in the blood. This test may be used to help diagnose the particular disease. When high levels of cardiolipins are found in people with these or other issues, it is known as cardiolipin antibody syndrome. This test helps diagnose this condition.
The cardiolipin antibodies test is usually just one of many tests given. The tests you get will depend on what your health care provider is looking for. For example, if your doctor suspects that you have lupus, you will probably need other blood tests, as well as imaging studies and tissue biopsies.
A result for a lab test may be affected by many things, including the method the laboratory uses to do the test. Even if your test results are different from the normal value, you may not have a problem. To learn what the results mean for you, talk with your health care provider.
The results of a cardiolipin antibodies test are easy to understand. If you're negative for cardiolipin antibodies, that is normal. If you're positive, you might have cardiolipin antibody syndrome and will probably be retested to see if the antibody stays in your blood.
The test requires a blood sample, which is drawn through a needle from a vein in your arm.
Taking a blood sample with a needle carries risks that include bleeding, infection, bruising, or feeling dizzy. When the needle pricks your arm, you may feel a slight stinging sensation or pain. Afterward, the site may be slightly sore.
Although cardiolipin antibodies are commonly related to lupus, a positive test for them doesn't mean you have lupus. Other tests will be needed to confirm the diagnosis. When you have problems related to blood clotting, miscarriages, or other issues, this test result can help health care providers figure out the best way to treat your condition.
You don't need to prepare for this test.

The act of having sex with a women who is doing the splits and facing away from the man while he holds onto her legs like the handlebars of a bike. There also is the Reverse Kav Magra where the woman faces the man. A fun variation of this is for the man to stand and have woman support herself on her hands like the wheelbarrow sex position. He then steers her around while fucking her. She then must choose between breaking her face on the hard floor or orgasm.
I totally gave my girlfriend Kav Magra last night.

In what has become a Los Angeles mayoral election tradition, a Westchester community group again plans to ask candidates to pledge to protect the community against major northward expansion by Los Angeles International Airport.
Denny Schneider, president of the Alliance for a Regional Solution to Airport Congestion, said he will finish the new pledge within two weeks. Schneider's group began the practice in 2001, and since then, he said, every major candidate, including current Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, has signed.
"We're tweaking it because we found that there was obviously some ability to weasel because the mayor hasn't exactly been 'Johnny on the Spot' with us to protect the region," Schneider said. "There's not much I can do about it. I understand what he is doing. I have known him for a lot of years. I respect him. I just don't agree with him on this one. He certainly isn't enforcing it."
Representatives for all five major candidates - Eric Garcetti, Wendy Greuel, Kevin James, Jan Perry and Emanuel Pleitez - said they were waiting to see the new pledge before saying whether their candidate will sign it. All five signaled that the candidates understand the significance of the pledge for Westchester, which is adjacent to the airport's north side. All also said they understand LAX needs to continue its modernization program to remain competitive. Future plans call for an an automated people mover, consolidated rental car facility and a Metro station on or near the airport.
Schneider said his group's chief concern is a plan favored by airport staff to move a runway north by 260 feet. The project would not require the airport to acquire more land, but it would move airplane landings closer to Westchester homes and businesses. Officials with the airport and the Federal Aviation Administration say the change is needed to make the airport safer.
Schneider said another key is ensuring more accountability for the eventual winner. He said he wants to end the practice in which the mayor publicly supports Westchester residents while permitting the Board of Airport Commissioners and the airport's executive director to make decisions that could eventually harm the community. He said that has been part of his concern with Villaraigosa.
"The executive director is appointed by him and the commissioners serve at the pleasure of the mayor," Schneider said. "If he truly wanted to stop this today, he could do it with one phone call. He has chosen not to do it."
This year's pledge will also ask candidates to support a philosophy of regionalization - requiring Los Angeles World Airports to work to distribute air traffic among other area airports so LAX does not become too congested. It will ask the airport authority to divest itself of Ontario International Airport, which it now owns, in the hopes new owners would invest in operations there.
"The problem from a real practical standpoint is that what we are doing is putting all of our eggs in one basket," Schneider said.
John J. Pitney, professor of politics at Claremont McKenna College, said politicians generally sign pledges because they view it as the correct action during a campaign. Afterward, the winning candidate deals with the consequences, he said.
"When you're running for office and your time horizon ends on Election Day, the cost of not signing seems a lot greater than the cost of signing," Pitney said. "That may create problems when you are in office, but you worry about that when you're in office."
Schneider said the campaign season ritual is still important because it forces candidates to consider airport-related issues and educates voters about LAX expansion.
And though he said he hopes all five candidates will sign it, he said he is not so naive to think the next mayor will follow every facet of it.
"Let's face it," he said, "there is nothing that can hold anyone to a pledge. If they are going to break it, they are going to break it."

Freedom on the Fourth?
What fun we will have this year on the Fourth of July in Brainerd, with Brainerd Community Action kicking off the event by becoming political and endorsing John Ward as our marshal. I had personally asked Community Action two weeks ago to not be political, as there are many options besides endorsing a candidate. A simple fix could have been to have our Sen. Carrie Ruud be a dual marshal.
Couldn't Community Action find one other non-political person of the year, a past leader or even a non-partisan leader in Brainerd? When talking to Community Action the comment was made about John's vote against "marriage" as being just one vote. It was our non-representing John that spoke for our area. His job was to represent us and he did not, so to see a full-page endorsement from Community Action for our "representative" is really an oxymoron. But, of course, it is free advertising.
I do not care about John's achievements. I do care that he has voted against my freedom of religion and my freedom of speech. With one "marriage vote" John helped accomplished this. We are not more free this Fourth of July and we can thank our non-representing John for his part in it.
I can thank John that he did allow a clause in the bill that states, "Pastors are exempt from this bill," but I am a Sunday school teacher and a motivational speaker. I am not protected to teach or speak freely, as of Aug. 1. Thanks, John.
I would recommend contacting Community Action at 829-5278 or www.brainerdcommunityaction.org, and ask Nancy to explain how John Ward is our symbol of freedom. I will be looking for help on the Fourth as well. Contact me at email@example.com.
Freedom is not free, and to give away our freedom is not something to exalt.
Doug Kern,
Rural Brainerd

Password Strength Testing
First off, please excuse the naivety of this question, but pen test isn't an area of expertise. However, my question is, are you aware of any free tools (ideally that dont need installing on a system - so command prompt applications) whereby I need to check a list of domain usernames against a list of 3 passwords to get some of the report of any accounts whose password is one of my list of 3.
I know you can dump hashes from domain controllers with pwdump etc and check them offline with tools like Cain and Ophcrack but I dont really want to do that as the scope is to just test a pre-defined set of accounts, not the capacity to check every account.
Any free little command line tools that can help and I can download for free would be excellent.

Ignition interlocks now required for first-time DUI offenders
KINGSPORT, Tenn. - Ignition interlock devices have been gaining support as a punishment for driving under the influence since the mid 2000s.
Since 2010, all 50 states have laws allowing for ignition interlocks. In 2012, Virginia made I.I.D's mandatory for first-time offenders.
On July 1, Tennessee joined 16 other states in requiring someone convicted of their first DUI to have an IID installed in hopes of cutting down on repeat DUIs.
The Kingsport Police Department says people who drink and drive and are caught multiple times are common, but not standard. "We always see repeat offenders in DUI. Some people will have a first offense and honestly learn from it and change their ways. They realize they made a mistake and correct it," said Officer Tom Patton.
Having that ignition interlock as a reminder helps. They are designed as an extra measure to keep someone who's been drinking from driving. The device can sense even the slightest trace of alcohol and wont let the car start.
New IIDs even have cameras to keep people from cheating the device by having someone else breathe into the device.
Patton thinks the devices are a good first step, but still warns against drinking and driving. "When somebody gets behind the wheel of a vehicle impaired, they're driving a loaded gun around basically. It's a very dangerous offense to commit, "said Patton.
It's a dangerous offense that has deadly consequences as well.
While police keep cracking down, other groups raise awareness and hope driver's can learn from the mistake. "They've been penalized but they haven't been penalized to the point that there's not any hope for them. In other words, it's a rehabilitation for them and it helps them in years to come, so we don't have the repeat offender," said Mothers Against Drunk Driving spokeswoman Linda Rothwell.
M.A.D.D. believes ignition interlocks give people a second chance.
But anything past that, says Patton, is too much. "[There are] these repeat offenders all the way up to fifth offense, seventh offense, tenth offense DUI. Those are just the scourge of society that are making the streets dangerous for everybody," said Patton.

http://www.autoblog.com/2007/08/13/nissan-planning-smaller-cheaper-fr-sports-car/Love the design and possible 247hp in a small lightweight sport coupe, hopefully they will add a sweet short throw 6-speed manual and conventional 5-speed automatic with paddle shifters. Actually looking at the photochop it reminds me of the Toyota Celica from the front.
If car companies are listening, I am full of free advice.
I think it looks pretty cool. I would definitely consider one, especially if it is in fact RWD when produced, as at one point there was talk of making the car and making it FWD, which would be a crime against humanity.And with that much power stock, It should be a very fun car to drive, and also very fun to modify in keeping with the tradition of suping up silvias. It would probably be more than cars like GTIs and WRXs and such, but I think with RWD it could be a much more fun car to drive.I definitely think we need more small coupes like this, especially for a relatively low price, and it will be cool for Nissan to have 2, since they will also have a Z of some sort as well. That way there are more options when it comes to price, power, and such.
I like it no doubt, but it seems awefully close to the Z. Nissan may cut it for that reason.
Oh gross. It's the front of a Celica and the back of that Civic suppository.Slim down the new Altima and make it RWD. That would make a fine, respectable 240.God that thing looks ugly...way too much going on. The slashes on the hood, the different lines on the front bumper, then the horizontals on the front skirt, fake intercooler slots, mismatched brake ducts, the character line on the door clashing with the rear wheel arch, oh God kill it.
I think it looks cool.
__________2011 M56S | 2007 Z4M Coupe | 2014 Q5 TDI | 1993 MR2 Turbo | 1994 Sentra SE-R NeoVVL
that's kinda radical for production but a new 240SX from nissan would be cool
--------------------I'm working on a scifi-adventure webcomic!
One question? Is it RWD, because if it's not, I'll skip. The 240SX was a nice RWD car and it should stay that way.
The automobile, object of lust and pride, of great rivalries and great kinsman-ship alike. Revered by all in each there own way.
i think it is... but i really dont think nissan will cut the 350Z. its too good.
--------------------I am on my 6th car.. in 6 years. I've had: GM, Ford, Hyundai, and Honda. Volkswagen, it's your turn now.
Now, just weeks after confirming that Toyota does indeed have a successor to the lauded AE86 in the pipeline, Best Car magazine claims to have evidence that Nissan has got a team working on building a new Silvia. <3
So this will be the next 240sx (the Silvia is the Japanese 240sx)
The automobile, object of lust and pride, of great rivalries and great kinsman-ship alike. Revered by all in each there own way.
i dont like it i think they should go back to the base of the silvia and maybe make small mods to bring up to date this is to much like the celica in the front this should b a nissan not a fn toyota
350z is ntn that its cracked up to b i think it deserves to b cut if they make the new silvia in thing like i hear between it and the gt-r the 270z dont evan stand a chance n any way the 350 and 370z are all looks sr20 out runs em and its an older stile motor then the 370z's
If Nissan keeps the path I see with reductions in displacement, a RWD ~250hp 200SX ('cause of the 2.0L engine) would be about right for a cheaper companion to smaller displacement Z's (250Z [over 300hp] I4 to replace the 370 and 300Z V6 [over 400hp] for slotting between the lesser Z and the GTR...).Besides, they could go for a 1.6L 200hp FWD B17 Sentra Coupé (not done since the B14-based FWD 200SX) for even cheaper thrills (there have been rumors of a prototype RWD engine of those specs, but at that level of performance it can even go to FWD [check last Prelude...]).
looks a little on the cheap side to me. As the article stated. But it does have a catchy design.

Sell Tech, Says Ned Davis, As it Upgrades Cons. Staples
Technology companies have been making news this week, with earnings for the likes of Apple (AAPL) and Qualcomm (QCOM) focusing investors' attention.
But that attention is misplaced: You really should be selling your tech sector holdings, according to Ned Davis Research Chief U.S. Equity Sector Strategist Lance Stonecypher:
We are downgrading the Technology sector to underweight from marketweight. Technicals have deteriorated considerably in recent weeks, with the S&P 500 Tech sector dropping to its lowest level since May 2009 relative to the market. In Q1, the sector underperformed by 580 bp, 300 bp of which came from Apple's weakness. But now, the decline has become more broadbased, as the equal-weighted Tech sector also recently broke to new cycle lows.
At the same time, Stonecypher surprisingly upgraded consumer staples:
We are also upgrading Consumer Staples to marketweight from underweight, as this S&P 500 sector has improved to its best level since October 2011 relative to the market. Since January 10, Staples has outperformed the S&P 500 by 800 bp, with 90% of its sub-industries above their 200-day moving averages relative to the market. That outperformance should continue, as May is seasonally the strongest month for the sector, outperforming 70% of the time since 1985.
That advice goes against many other views of the sector right now. Bespoke Investment Group, for example, is advising selling consumer staples, reports MarketWatch:
Companies that make consumer staples have been on a tear this year. The S&P 500's Consumer Staples sector has gained almost 17% in 2013 to date, only behind gains made in the index's Health Care and Utilities sectors.
The rally in consumer-staples stocks is in line with the 11% gain in the S&P 500 Index this year. But that is unusual since the sector is defensive, which means its stocks tend to underperform when the market rallies.
"With such big YTD gains already, earnings expectations are likely through the roof, so anything but a blowout report will likely send shares lower," the [Bespoke] analysts wrote.
MarketWatch noted that Procter & Gamble's (PG) stock fell 6.6% after the company's earnings.
As John Jannarone wrote in yesterday's Wall Street Journal:
Investors in consumer staples may be vulnerable to a change in sentiment…Just as investors tend to dump bonds when sentiment improves, they may also unload defensive stocks. One possible catalyst: a pickup in earnings growth in more cyclical sectors.
Consider the cases of 2002 and 2009. In both cycles, defensive companies were the first to see earnings growth, but cyclical companies soon followed with much faster improvements in earnings, notes Philip Isherwood of Absolute Strategy Research.
Stonecypher acknowledges his latest advice is a defensive move — his third in 2013. But he adds a somewhat bullish note:
Still, our defensive shifts could prove short-lived if our expected market pullback is moderate, followed by stronger economic growth, especially for capex, in 2H.

acoustic piano manufacturer in the world we were able to hand select from our vast collection of
hand-crafted grand pianos to create the sounds heard in the CP4 STAGE.
CFX and CFIIIS
The Evolution of Excellence
The new flagship of the CF Series, the CFX full concert grand piano represents the pinnacle of Yamaha's tradition of piano crafting. Beautifully made and with an exquisite tone that extends across the entire dynamic range, the CFX has the power to project its sound to the furthest reaches of any concert hall.
The CFIIIS is another superb full concert grand piano hand-crafted by Yamaha, with a full, bright sound and resonant, authoritative bass that make it perfectly suited to ensemble performance.
CFX voices are only available on the CP4 STAGE.

The S6 offers a lush tonal presence with a warm, subtle depth to its sound. Featuring select bridge materials and new refinements in the specifications of its copper-wound springs, the S6 delivers a rich, resonant tone with a perfectly pitched, harmonious bass, making it the ideal piano for accompanying vocals or quiet ballads.
S6 voices are only available on the CP4 STAGE
Vintage Electric Pianos
The CP STAGE features an impressive selection of vintage electric pianos from different eras, enhanced by Yamaha's renowned Virtual Circuitry Modeling technology, which allows the reproduction of the classic stomp box effects that were such an integral part of their sound.
The Electric Grand
Striking its strings with an authentic grand piano action and using pickups to convert their vibration into an electrical signal, the CP80 is an electric grand piano in the truest sense. The moment this instrument burst onto the scene it won immediate acclaim for its pronounced attack and unique harmonic overtones.
The Historic DX Electric Piano
Operating on the principle of FM tone generation, the Yamaha DX Series debuted at the beginning of the eighties as the world's first digital synthesizers. The impressive variety of sounds that the DX made available left musicians around the world in awe, particularly the electric pianos, which quickly found a home in many different musical scenes.
Rd I Rd II
Synonymous with the Electric Piano
Yamaha's Rd I and Rd II offer the timeless electric piano sound that helped define the music of so many artists in the seventies. The Rd I reproduces the tone achieved using tines and hammers, while the Rd II reflects the remarkable progress in musical instrument technology that occurred in the latter half of the decade. From the mellow modulation of a quiet ballad or jazz standard to the percussive attacking sound heard in countless rock classics, the warm resonance of the Rd I and the clarity and power of the Rd II will take you back to this inspiring musical era the moment you begin to play. Vintage EP Rd II voices are only available on the CP4 STAGE
A Pioneering Electric Piano
Perfectly emulating the distinctive hammer-and-resonator sound of another star of the sixties and seventies, the Wr voices in the CP STAGE offer everything from the thick, powerful tone of earlier models of these renowned electric pianos to the brighter clarity that later efforts achieved. These voices accurately reproduce the playing characteristics of the original instruments, so that a light touch will give a delicate tone, while playing with more force will result in a thicker, uniquely distorted sound.
Ease of use with a perfect feel
A simple and intuitive interface gives you instant access to all the controls that you need.
Change Voices
Voice Category buttons let you call up the sounds you need quickly and easily—you can even store your favorite sounds for each category. In addition to all the great piano voices, a variety of bass, clavinet, organ, strings, and pad sounds based on the sounds in our flagship MOTIF synthesizer round out the voice library, so you're ready for any musical situation.

One touch is all it takes to layer and split sounds. The large lighted buttons make it easy to split and layer sounds even on the darkest stages, allowing you to switch from a full piano, to a piano voice layered with strings, or piano with a split bass sound. The Main Solo function lets you go back to playing piano across the entire keyboard at the touch of a button.
Wooden Keys
Our wooden-key action gives you perfect piano touch and response. The CP4 STAGE features wooden keys with synthetic ivory keytops and a Graded Hammer action similar to that of a grand piano (the keys in the lower register are heavier and the keys in the upper register are lighter).
The CP STAGE combines portability with elegant style in a professional package. The CP STAGE has a slim design that makes it incredibly light and easy to carry (CP4 STAGE: 17.5kg (38.5 lbs), CP40 STAGE:16.3kg (36 lbs)).
Chuck Leavell
Chuck Leavell has been pleasing the ears of music fans for more than 30 years now. His piano and keyboard work has been heard on the works of Eric Clapton, The Rolling Stones, The Black Crowes, George Harrison, The Allman Brothers Band, The Indigo Girls, Blues Traveler, Train, Montgomery-Gentry, Lee Ann Womack, Lady AnteBellum, John Mayer and many, many more. In 1982, he was invited to assume a significant keyboardist/vocalist role for the Stones that continues today. Says guitarist Keith Richards: "Without the continuity that Chuck brings to us, the Stones would not be the Stones." In addition to his musical expertise, he is a Board member of several important environmental organizations and is also the co-founder of The Mother Nature Network (www.mnn.com), the world's most visited environmental website. Chuck Leavell is one of music' s most respected and sought-after pianists, an active spokesperson for environmental issues and a devoted husband, father and grandfather. At his home in rural Georgia, you can find Leavell working in the woods, playing his piano and declaring he's fortunate to have three real passions in his life: "My family, my trees and my music."
Interview with Chuck Leavell
You've been using the CP series for many years now on tour and in the studio. What is it about the CP series that makes it your go-to stage piano?
Well, you know, for me it's all about getting as realistic a piano sound as I can. The acoustic grand sound, that's what I'm after. And I also want a sound that will cut through when I' m playing rock and roll. If I'm playing with The Rolling Stones or The Allman Brothers band, for example, I really want the sound to stand out and to be clearly heard. That's what the CP series has been doing for me.
On your website you say you were first inspired to become a musician by
another Yamaha artist, the great Ray Charles. Can you tell us about that?
Oh absolutely. I must have been about 12 or 13 years old and my sister, Judy, had a date to go see Ray Charles at the coliseum in Tuscaloosa AL, where we grew up. My parents were away for the evening and they said, "Judy will you take Chuck with you?" And lucky for me she did. And man, I just had never seen a band like that, an artist like that. You had of course, the great Ray Charles, but you also had the Raelettes, you had Fat Head Newman on saxophone, you had Billy Preston playing organ, and it was just the most awesome thing I had ever seen in my life. I went away from that concert saying, "Well I know I don't want to be a doctor or a lawyer or an insurance salesman or anything like that. If I could ever be in a band that was anywhere near that good, that's what I want to do."
When you were on tour with The Rolling Stones you got a chance to stop at the Yamaha offices in California and check out not only the new CP4 STAGE but also the actual CFX acoustic piano that we sampled. What's your impression of the sounds and feel of the new CP4 STAGE?
Well, you know, the CFX grand piano is just a marvel of acoustic technology. I think what they've done to emulate that technology in this instrument, the CP4, is amazing! It's very, very close. That's what you want in an instrument. I want reality, and that's what it's given me.
Do you think you will be using the new CP4 STAGE piano for your next tour?
Oh yeah, I can't wait to get this instrument on the stage and play live. Whether it's with The Stones or if it's with my band. I just can't wait. I'm very excited about it and it'll be onstage with me very soon.
Interview with the creators of the CP Stage
Product Designers Jose Gonzalez and Sound Engineer Fumitsugu Ohtaka
What was your design intention?
We knew when we started to design the new CP4 and CP40 that we wanted to create a timeless musical instrument. So we asked ourselves how a stage piano could remain relevant after a normal product lifecycle. Our desire was for players to enjoy it for a really long time. For that reason, rather than following temporary, transitory trends, we decided to look at the legacy and heritage of Yamaha. We noted which design traditions are in Yamaha's DNA, and we took those and adapted them to fit the new CP.
We believe that as a result, the CP STAGE will have a long lasting design. At the same time we wanted to provide players with an elegant musical instrument that can be used on any stage. Therefore, in order to make the new CP adaptable to a wide variety of environments, we decided that the design of the new CP should not be gaudy, obtrusive or particularly striking. But some attractive details were needed, so we decided to focus on the silhouette, with a small beveled edge that surrounds the piano to draw attention to its contours on the stage—especially under spotlights.
How did you balance "legacy" with "new"?
We created this balance by putting some legacy elements (like leather or cosmetic, textural appearance) with some other electronic and digital elements. Everything in harmony! But how do we find that harmony? It comes from the creative process—it means sketching many ideas, creating mockups, researching and analyzing our ideas, and working to improve the initial ideas from the first stage to later stages in greater detail; checking sample materials, paint color, textures … we made many renderings, mockups and prototypes to be sure that this "balance" that we were looking for is obvious and present in our final design.
What are the characteristic design features of the new CP4 and CP40 for the stage?
Considering it is an instrument that will be played for hours on end, we wanted to offer a completely unique and expressive experience for using and playing the new CP. It was so important that we incorporated a diverse range of textures and materials into the design. So we decided to adapt a different texture for each area. The background texture is leather-like, complemented by a nice matte finish on the control panel, followed by a long silvered line that divides the body from the keys. And finally, the CP's incredible "piano touch" keyboard.

And finally, the CP's incredible "piano touch" keyboard.
What was the development process like?
After deciding on the design direction, the team worked very closely for almost two years with the engineers and other developers, taking into consideration the proportion and harmony of all the elements of the stage piano, and of course trying to create a simple user interface for instant access and easy use.
Do you have any additional comments for the players?
In short, the CP4 and CP40 are stage pianos with a timeless design that will allow musicians to enjoy them for many years. They are instruments that can be used on different stages or locations. These pianos are the product of our passion for designing and developing the best instruments we can, and we hope that this is reflected in how much people enjoy playing and performing with them.
What was your aim when developing the CP4 STAGE?
We wanted to enhance our piano sounds and make the CP4 STAGE a key instrument for live performances. Yamaha has focused on developing acoustic and electric pianos that produce high-quality sound. For the CP4 STAGE, we not only worked on sound quality but also paid close attention to the playability of the keyboard. In that regard, we took advantage of the performance qualities of wooden keys with a Graded Hammer action, a new feature in the CP series. Our aim was to design an instrument that allows players to directly express themselves.
What was your approach to developing the CP4 STAGE's sound?
First of all, we tried to recreate the timbre of the CFX. The sound of the CFX is simply stunning. It is a highly expressive piano that produces a rich, harmonic spectrum and spans a wide dynamic range from pianissimo to fortissimo. This is a piano that completely captures the subtlest variations in keystrokes, making it an incredibly versatile instrument, suitable for all kinds of musical styles, from classical and solo jazz to pop and rock. Yamaha has worked hard to realize these qualities for the CP4 STAGE. We greatly expanded the waveform data used compared to our previous models, and enabled smoother keyboard control over changes in timbre, and we think that the resulting instrument emulates the versatility of the instrument it is modeled after. The CFX is featured in the CP4 STAGE as one of three grand piano presets, each featuring a different character. The other two presets are the Yamaha CFIIIS, a popular model that has earned a strong reputation, and the Yamaha S6, which is known for its distinctive warm and woody sound. There are many different presets for these pianos, featuring stereo or mono sounds, different effects, and different brightness settings, allowing the instrument to be used in all types of performance situations. The CP4 STAGE also features electric piano voices from Yamaha's famous instruments like the CP80 piano and the DX7 synthesizer, as well as renowned vintage electric pianos. We used our best modeling methods to reproduce the sounds of each of these instruments and enabled seamless and smooth changes in timbre depending on the force of the keystrokes. The CP4 STAGE features parameters that represent the physical attributes of acoustic pianos, including the stiffness of the hammers and the points where they strike the strings. This lets players adjust the timbre in the same way they would with a real piano. The CP4 STAGE comes with preset sounds that are useful for many kinds of live performances. Players can select from "performance" presets comprising layers of acoustic pianos and strings, acoustic and electric pianos, or synthesizer pads, as well as instrument ensembles commonly used on stage, such as brass or strings.
Could you comment on the playability of the CP4 STAGE?
We developed many expressive voices for the CP4 STAGE, including the CFX piano voice. We also equipped it with a highly playable keyboard, using wooden keys. By effectively combining these features, Yamaha has created a remarkable musical instrument that allows piano players to directly express themselves. We accomplished this by devoting much more time than usual in product development to perfect the playability of the instrument. That involved setting up prototypes in many different ways and having them tested by leading pianists active in various genres from Japan, the U.S., and Europe. Based on their evaluations and feedback, we decided on the ultimate design. As a result, Yamaha has produced a very playable and expressive instrument.

Contingent is made of eight banner-like elements that hang from the ceiling. Each component is a large rectangular stretch of latex-covered cheesecloth embedded at each end in a translucent field of fibreglass. The units hang parallel to each other and at right angles to the wall. They appear as 'skins lifted off the surface of a painting', magically suspended in midair, a merging of light, colour, and gravity.[1] Contingent blurs the boundaries between painting and sculpture; it is, in the artist's terminology, a 'non-work' which exists as a 'hung painting in another material than painting.'[2] By virtue of its hybrid form, Contingent, more than any of Hesse's other works, successfully synthesises the qualities of both disciplines.
Hesse began to experiment with latex in the late summer of 1967, and by 1968 was moving back and forth between it and her other favoured material, fibreglass. She was attracted to the neutral colour of latex, and its liquidity, finding it as responsive as paper-maché. Fibreglass, by contrast, is less yielding, and in combination the two substances create a distinct tension. Hesse plays off the light-absorbing and light-transmitting qualities of the two materials and in Contingent uses the heavier fibreglass attachments to pull taut the fragile latex midsections. This imparts a 'palpable tension', exaggerated by the 'poignant contrast of the ephemeral and enduring qualities of the two materials.'[3] In several other large-scale works using latex, Hesse used an infrastructure of mesh or a backing of canvas, often pushing her materials to their limits.[4] She was well aware that latex decays―and loses the very qualities which she so valued―and knew of the discolouration and brittleness of fibreglass. Even though she admitted to feeling a little guilty that her works would not last, the qualities of latex were too appealing, seemingly irresistible.
Contingent is one of the last major works made by Hesse before her death in May 1970, aged 34. Although she had planned at least nine irregular sheets of rubberised cheesecloth and fibreglass, she and her assistants ran out of latex.[5] The individual differences between the banners pleased the artist, and she commented on the 'divergency' from one piece to the next, and the way in which they are geometric but not.[6] Hesse was working on Contingent when she collapsed in April 1969; she was admitted to New York Hospital and operated on for a brain tumour. The work's title suggests its positioning between painting and sculpture, and the interdependence of the materials, but also the marshalling of forces, and their direction towards an event that is likely but not inevitable. The circumstances of its making, the inevitability of its decay, and a title which implies dynamism and uncertainty, all imbue Contingent with a strength which is implicit in the work, as well as an elegiac quality overlaid from the artist's life.

RV Dave opened the show with his famous flying T-bone into the roof of a van placed in a vertical position in the infield. Dave does the stunt by launching his car off of a small ramp and hitting the van roof in just the right place to soften the impact. Hit too low and the car strikes the ground first, and hit too high and the car could clear the van completely. Dave timed his approach and launch perfectly and hit the roof of the van almost dead center, walking away from the wreckage unscathed.
The first racing event was the 4 cylinder enduro, which began from a three wide standing start on the front stretch. Curtis Clark took control early and lead for most of the race, but was passed by Johnny Alexander later on. Meanwhile all sorts of banging, bumping, and spinning, was going on in every corner of the track, with some racers winding up waiting out the race in disabled cars sitting on the racing surface.
But an unexpected complication came with about 20 laps complete, as rain began falling and the race continued. The track was relatively dry to begin, but the rain quickly caused the surface to become slimy and slick, and while some racers found ways to adapt to the slick surface, others fell victim to it. The rain increased in intensity causing the officials to shorten the event to 40 laps as cars slipped and slid their way around the circuit to the checkered flags. The win went to Johnny Alexander with Curtis Clark scored in second place. Mike Autenrieth claimed the third spot followed by Don Paugh and James Sullivan for fourth and fifth places.
As cars staged for the figure 8 event the rain showed no sign of any let up, so event officials decided to call a halt and let nature rain itself out. As the rain continued they announced that the RV demo event would go on despite the weather, but quickly were forced to reverse that decision when the rains became torrential and were joined by thunder and lightning. And with the infield quickly submerging under the deluge, officials called the event, gave tickets out as rain checks, and announced that the Car Warz show would be made up on October 8th. All fans presenting the returned tickets will get in free of charge that night, and pit pass holders will be able to present their arm bands for free admission as well. The tickets and arm bands will be honored for free admission only on October 8th.
Ocala Speedway officials did not announce what would become of the race events that had been originally scheduled for October 8th, so fans and racers will need to refer to the schedule posted at www.OcalaSpeedway.com for further information. Fans or racers with questions about the rain check policy for this event should contact Ocala Speedway at 352-622-9400.

Project Summary: To rank the worthiness of the players inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame from most worthy to least worthy.
Election Format: Voters will submit ballots ranking their 10 most worthy remaining Hall of Fame players in order of worthiness. Each first place vote will be worth 10 points, with each successive rank being worth one point less than the previous rank, ending in a tenth place vote being worth 1 point. Players will also receive one additional point for each ballot they are listed on and players must be listed on at least three ballots in order to be elected. The five players with the highest support at the end of each election will be elected in the order of their support. Elections will last approximately seven days.
- Tiebreakers: In the event of a tie among players at the end of an election, the first tiebreaker will number of first place votes in that election. The second tiebreaker will be total number of ballot appearances in that election. In the event that there remains a tie, there will be a three day run-off by poll. Players that lose in a run-off will slot into the next ranking spot.
Factors to Consider: As this project focuses on players inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame, subjective qualities beyond just statistics should be taken into consideration in determining a player's relative worthiness. In that vein, the voting guidelines that the BBWAA is to follow in actual National Baseball Hall of Fame elections, may be instructive (though not necessarily determinative in this project): "Voting shall be based upon the player's record, playing ability, integrity, sportsmanship, character, and contributions to the team(s) on which the player played."
Player Eligibility: Only players that have been elected to the National Baseball Hall of Fame as players are eligible, including Negro League players and 19th Century players. A complete list of individuals that have been inducted as players is available at the National Baseball Hall of Fame's website, and is recreated below along with each player's corresponding BBF Rank as determined by this project:
1) Babe Ruth
2) Willie Mays
3) Ty Cobb
4) Ted Williams

As late as the 1920s, elderly Cheyennes said that two southern Cheyenne women had come upon the body of Custer. He had been shot in the head and in the side. They recognized Custer from the Battle of the Washita in 1868, and had seen him up close the following spring when he had come to make peace with Stone Forehead and smoked with the chiefs in the lodge of the Arrow Keeper. There Custer had promised never again to fight the Cheyennes, and Stone Forehead, to hold him to his promise, had emptied the ashes from the pipe onto Custer's boots while the general, all unknowing, sat directly beneath the Sacred Arrows that pledged him to tell the truth.
It was said that these two women were relatives of Mo-nah-se-tah, a Cheyenne girl whose father Custer's men had killed at the Washita. Many believed that Mo-nah-se-tah had been Custer's lover for a time. No matter how brief, this would have been considered a marriage according to Indian custom. On the hill at the Little Bighorn, it was told, the two southern Cheyenne women stopped some Sioux men who were going to cut up Custer's body. "He is a relative of ours," they said. The Sioux men went away.
Every Cheyenne woman routinely carried a sewing awl in a leather sheath decorated with beads or porcupine quills. The awl was used daily, for sewing clothing or lodge covers, and perhaps most frequently for keeping moccasins in repair. Now the southern Cheyenne women took their awls and pushed them deep into the ears of the man they believed to be Custer. He had not listened to Stone Forehead, they said. He had broken his promise not to fight the Cheyenne anymore. Now, they said, his hearing would be improved.

An LSU cornerback and NFL Draft prospect was arrested in Eunice Thursday night for allegedly intimidating a police officer.
According to police records, Tharold Simon's car was blocking Beulah Street when an officer asked him to move it. According to the report, Simon told the officer, "I own Eunice," and "I'm gonna buy these projects and you are gonna be mine," (sic) before finally moving his vehicle. The officer noted in the report that Simon spun his wheels and "backed the vehicle in an aggressive manner" and turned his radio "all the way up" while moving his car. The report also says Simon told the officer that "the mayor was on [his] side" and that the officer would be fire if he wrote a ticket. Simon is charged with public intimidation, resisting an officer, and unnecessary noise violation. He was released on bond.
Simon, a graduate of Eunice High School, is expected to be selected in the middle rounds of this weekend's NFL Draft. Eunice city officials are scheduled to proclaim today "Tharold Simon Day" during a ceremony this evening. Eunice Mayor Rusty Moody says the ceremony will go on as planned.
"In the United States, our justice system says everyone is innocent until proven guilty," Moody said.
