Easy now. I think Sonam's point that the DC is a bit different from other Buddhist* groups because the teacher and the teachings are rather unique is a fair one. I don't think Sonam is making a mine's-bigger-than-yours kind of claim here. It doesn't look like one to me anyway.

The U.S. military is supposed to turn its massive jail on the outskirts of Bagram Air Field over to the Afghan government this year. But the U.S. is going to keep holding detainees in Afghanistan for a long, looooong time to come — as new military construction contracts reveal.
One of the big unanswered questions of the plan to give the Detention Facility at Parwan to the Afghans is what happens to insurgents U.S. troops detain in the future. Rumors abound about secret, off-the-books jails kept by Special Operations Forces, but those are supposed to be only for insurgents suspected of possessing high-level intelligence. Where will the rest go?
Here's a clue. The Army Corps of Engineers is just hired an Afghan contractor to build a new "U.S. government controlled detention facility." The lockup has to include "4 Modular Detention Housing Units (MDHU), 1 Special Holding Unit (SHU), guard towers, to include utilities, communications, fencing and related site work." It's got to be built fast — as in, by November — and so the Afghan firm got a no-bid contract of unspecified value.
That's just for starters. After that facility goes up — and it's unclear where it'll be built — the Army will hold an open competition for an even larger detention center, awarding a contract worth $46 million. That facility will consist of seven modular detention units and a "Special Holding Unit."
Special Holding Units are a nice way to say "maximum security." The ones built in Parwan have solid metal doors and a camera peeking in. Reserved for "noncompliant" detainees, the cells are built for a single detainee, rather than the communal bunking and fenced barriers of much of Parwan.
Get used to more of these in a post-Parwan era. The Corps of Engineers expressed interest in building a different detention facility in late June. It doesn't sound like a temporary holding cell, either: desired features include "detainee housing, guard towers, administration building, medical clinic, laundry, food preparation, detainee processing, visitor and warehouse facilities; primary and secondary electrical power supply, CCTV and communications, waste water treatment, sanitary and water distribution, storm water and related infrastructure, ATFP [anti-terrorism and force protection] measures and building information systems necessary for a stand-alone US Government controlled detention facility."
Cost: between $25 and $100 million.
The Afghans may get the sprawling Parwan complex. But their landscape is about to be dotted with new, pop-up American military jails.

IDB Shares Jump as Bonds Soar on Takeover Offer: Tel Aviv MoverSharon Wrobel and David Wainer
IDB Holding Corp.'s shares climbed to the highest in two weeks and bond yields tumbled after a takeover offer valued the debt-strapped company at 1.03 billion shekels ($289 million), more than three times its market value.
The shares jumped 5.9 percent to 5.82 shekels, the highest since Aug. 1, at the close in Tel Aviv. Volume was 5.6 times the three-month daily average. The yield on IDB's 1.07 billion shekels of 5.1 percent bonds due in December 2020 dropped 62 basis points, or 0.62 percentage point, to 56.55 percent. The benchmark TA-25 Index of equities fell 0.6 percent.
Emblaze Ltd., based in Hertzliya Pituach, Israel, and Tel Aviv-based Netz Group Ltd. are offering 826 million shekels for a 80 percent stake in IDB Holding, according to a Tel Aviv bourse filing today. IDB is struggling to meet payments on about 2 billion shekels in debt and is mired in credit-restructuring talks. Chairman and controlling holder Nochi Dankner has been trying to sell assets and find investors to raise financing.
"The deal may be a solution for IDB and for Dankner to remain within the group," Avihay Hermon, a trader at Israel Discount Bank Ltd. in Tel Aviv, said by phone today. "It's still not clear though if the investment will be made as investors have in the past pulled out of offers."
Last month, Argentine businessman Eduardo Elsztain decided against further investment in IDB. The company's creditors this week voted in favor of a debt restructuring plan which would divide IDB Holding's shares among them. A bondholder vote, expected by Aug. 18 on several debt restructuring plans, could give holders control over the company Dankner spent 15 years building.
New Company
Under the terms of the proposed deal, Emblaze will be the controlling holder, contributing 743.4 million shekels of the investment in IDB, while Netz Group will inject the remainder. Emblaze said it will fund the majority of its investment through a 500-million shekel shareholder loan. The two partners will set up a new company owned 70.3 percent by Emblaze and Dankner would own the rest. Shares of Netz jumped 6.2 percent to 1.205 shekels.
Dankner turned a family business that made its fortune in table salt and real estate into a sprawling holding company, which includes Israel's biggest supermarket chain, Shufersal Ltd., and the largest mobile operator, Cellcom Israel Ltd. The combination of unprofitable investments and regulations to boost competition, cut IDB's market value to 282 million shekels from 5.06 billion shekels at the end of 2010, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
'Clean Slate'
"Emblaze could take advantage of the chaotic situation at IDB," said Tsahi Avraham, a managing partner at Reading Capital Ltd., which holds about 1 percent of Emblaze. "If IDB can reach an agreement with bondholders and start with a clean slate, it actually has great assets."
The newly created company could sell units such as Cellcom and create value that is absent from "the current distressed position," Avraham said.
Separately, Tel Aviv-based B.G.I Investments 1981 Ltd., controlled by investor Alexander Granovsky, said today that the company paid $25.5 million for a 20 percent stake in Emblaze with an option to increase its holding to as much as 46.6 percent.

May 10, 2011
Fri-Sun., May 13-15 -- at Big Ten Outdoor Championships (Iowa City, Iowa), 10 a.m. CDT
Live Results | Championships Central | Schedule of Events
The University of Michigan women's track and field team heads to the University of Iowa this weekend (Fri-Sun., May 13-15) for the Big Ten Outdoor Championships at Francis X. Cretzmeyer Track in Iowa City, Iowa. The Wolverines finished eighth (56 points) at last year's championship meet. It is the third time Iowa has hosted the event (1987, 2000).
Championships Time! -- The Wolverines look to improve upon their eighth-place finish from last season at this year's Big Ten Outdoor Championships. Erin Pendleton was Michigan's lone champion, winning the discus. Michigan totaled 56 points during the three-day event.
First Time? -- Michigan has never won a Big Ten outdoor title in the 4x400-meter relay since the Big Ten Championships began in 1982. It is the only outdoor crown that has eluded the Wolverines. Michigan has accumulated the most individual titles (10) in both the 800-meter run and the 5,000-meter run.
Outdoor Champions -- Michigan's last Big Ten Outdoor championship came in 2007, when the Wolverines came from behind on the final event to share the title with Illinois. The Wolverines have won seven titles (1993-94-98-02-03-04-07), which is second best in the Big Ten (Wisconsin, 8). U-M boasts 75 individual crowns, winning 46 on the track, 27 in the field and two relays. Erin Pendleton, Emily Pendleton and Alisha Cole are the only three current Wolverines to hold an outdoor crown. Cole ran on Michigan's victorious 4x100-meter relay team in 2009, while Emily Pendleton has two discus titles (2008, 2009) and Erin Pendleton won the event last year.
Catch Us On TV -- The 2011 Big Ten Outdoor Championships, running from May 13-15 in Iowa City, will be shown on the Big Ten Network on Sunday, May 22, at 1 p.m.
Tops in the Big Ten -- Jillian Smith ranks first in the Big Ten in the 1,500-meter run and second in the 800-meter run. Alisha Cole comes in second in the 200-meter dash, Erin Pendleton ranks second in the discus and Ada Unachukwu is third in the triple jump to round out Michigan's top three performers. The top eight positions are scored at the Big Ten meet (10-8-6-5-4-3-2-1).
Who's it Gonna Be? -- For the past four seasons, Michigan has had an athlete win an award at the Big Ten Outdoor Championships. Anna Willard and Bettie Wade were named Big Ten Athletes of the Year and Championships in 2007; Emily Pendleton was named the Freshman of the Year in 2008; Geena Gall was honored as Athlete of the Year and Championships in 2009; and Erin Pendleton was named Freshman of the Year in 2010.
Defend the Discus -- The Wolverines have won the discus at the past three outdoor championships by virtue of the Pendleton sisters. Senior Emily Pendleton won as a freshman in 2008 en route to earning Big Ten Outdoor Freshman of the Year and successfully defended her title in 2009. Sophomore Erin Pendleton won the event last year, to also earn Big Ten Freshman of the Year. Erin Pendleton will compete this year, while Emily Pendleton is redshirting this season.
Twin Competition -- Redshirt freshman Kari Prena will compete against her twin sister, Kelsey, in the discus at this year's meet. Kelsey Prena is also a redshirt freshman thrower at Michigan State.
Saving the Best for Last -- Fifth-year senior Andrea Marcos made the most of her final appearance at Ferry Field, clearing a career-best 3.80 meters (12-5 1/2) in the pole vault to finish runner-up at the Len Paddock Invitational. Her previous best was 3.55 meters (11-7 3/4).
Let's Make It Like Indoors -- During the indoor season, Michigan improved its 2010 Big Ten finish by four spots in 2011. The Wolverines finished eighth during 2010, before jumping to No. 4 at this year's championships. During last year's outdoor season, the Maize and Blue also finished eighth and will be looking for similar improvement at this year's championship meet.
Second of Three in Iowa? -- This weekend's meet marks the second trip to the state of Iowa this season for Michigan. A group of Wolverines went to Des Moines, April 28-30, for the Drake Relays. The 2011 NCAA Championships are being held at Drake Stadium in Des Moines at the end of the season, June 8-11. If any Wolverines qualify for the NCAA Championships, U-M will have competed as many times in Iowa (three) as the state of Michigan.
Big Meets Coming Up -- The NCAA East Region Preliminary Round (held at Indiana) runs from May 26-28. To qualify, the top 48 athletes in each event (in descending order) will participate in two rounds (first round and quarterfinals) during the preliminary round. Twelve competitors from each individual event and 12 teams from each relay event will advance from each preliminary championship competition to the NCAA Championships. There are no qualifying marks used during the outdoor season. After this weekend, Michigan only has these two competitions remaining.
Last Meet at Home -- Alisha Cole, Danica Haight, Andrea Marcos, Jennifer Neville, Kaitlyn Peale, Danielle Tauro and Lauren Young said goodbye to Ferry Field this weekend. Each Wolverine has either already graduated or will before next season and has exhausted all eligibility.
Last Time Out -- The Wolverines hosted the Len Paddock Invitational last weekend (Fri-Sat., May 6-7) for their only home outdoor meet of the season. Taking advantage of beautiful weather, the Maize and Blue won five events. Charlotte Cahill (100-meter dash), Brittani Williams (400-meter dash), Kiley Tobel (pole vault), Jennifer Neville (400-meter hurdles) and Julian Purvis (100-meter hurdles) were all victorious at Ferry Field.
Pendleton Earns Weekly Laurels -- After winning the discus at the Jesse Owens Memorial Classic for the second straight season, Erin Pendleton became the fourth Wolverine to earn Big Ten Weekly honors this season. She earned the honor for the third time in her career after winning twice as a freshman. She joins Rebecca Addison (two), Jillian Smith and Allison Liske as winners this season.
Outdoor POP List -- Jillian Smith is the highest-ranked Wolverine in the current outdoor POP list, coming in at No. 7 in the 1,500-meter run. [ Full List ]
Lauren Young Trades Basketball for Track -- Senior Lauren Young came to Michigan as a basketball player but will leave it as a track athlete. [ Story ]
Sisters Add Unique Dynamic To Track and Field Team -- The Michigan Daily looks at the three sets of sisters on the team: Andrea Marcos and Erica Marcos; Emily Pendleton and Erin Pendleton; Chloe Prince and Nicole Prince. [ Story ]
McGuire Named Great Lakes Assistant Coach of the Year -- Associate head coach Mike McGuire was named the USTFCCCA Great Lakes Assistant Coach of the Year for the fifth time in his career after helping Michigan to a fourth-place finish at the Big Ten Championships. McGuire's athletes won two individual titles along with Michigan's eighth consecutive win in the distance medley relay at the Championships. [ Release ]
Trio of Captains to Lead U-M -- Alisha Cole, Allison Liske and Danielle Tauro will serve as captains for the 2011 season. Tauro repeats as captain for the second consecutive season while Cole and Liske were chosen by their teammates for the first time. [ Release ]
Who Is Back -- The Wolverines return 22 letterwinners from last year's team that picked up a pair of eighth-place finishes at both the 2010 Big Ten Indoor and Outdoor Championships. Michigan swept both Freshman of the Year awards with sophomores Jillian Smith and Erin Pendleton earning the honors. Smith (indoor 800-meter run) and Pendleton (outdoor discus throw) were the only Wolverines to win individual Big Ten championships during 2010. The Wolverines won their seventh consecutive distance medley relay title and return Smith, Danielle Tauro and sophomore Rebecca Addison from that team.
The University of Michigan athletics department will no longer print media guides. U-M fans and media can still obtain all the information they're used to, only now it's available online.

Worldwide, more than half a million deaths result from stomach cancer, which is much more common in Asia and Latin America than in the United States. Stomach cancer (also called gastric cancer) can develop in any part of the stomach. It begins in the inner lining and can spread throughout the stomach, penetrate the wall and progress to the adjacent lymph nodes. The cause is unknown but has been associated with dietary factors, Helicobacter pylori infection, smoking and alcohol consumption. Current research on the molecular genetics of stomach cancer points toward prevention and early detection of the disease.

Diagnostic Tests
Unlike in Japan, where the incidence of stomach cancer is high and aggressive screening for the disease is undertaken, diagnosis of early gastric cancer in the United States remains uncommon. Nonspecific symptoms such as vague abdominal pain, indigestion or black stools (from bleeding) often are attributed to peptic ulcer disease or other more common problems, and the diagnosis of stomach cancer often is delayed.
Diagnosis is made by biopsy using flexible fiberoptic endoscopy, in which a light tube is introduced through the mouth, esophagus, stomach and first part of the small intestines. Suspicious areas are sampled by biopsy and examined under the microscope by the pathologist. Anyone in whom stomach cancer is suspected should undergo this examination. Upper gastrointestinal series is another test occasionally used to diagnose stomach cancer. Further imaging can determine the extent and stage of the cancer before surgery. Helical CT scan is used to see whether advanced or metastatic disease is present. Experts use endoscopic ultrasound, which determines the depth of penetration of the tumor and whether local lymph nodes are enlarged. Such valuable information can aid the surgeon in planning the best therapeutic approach.
Current Treatments
Surgery is the mainstay of curative therapy for stomach cancer. If preoperative studies demonstrate the disease is confined to one area, an operation is recommended. Typically, surgery involves removing most of, and occasionally all of, the stomach to achieve safe removal of all cancer. An extended lymphadenectomy (removal of a wide area of lymph nodes in the area of the cancer) may increase the potential for cure. Such radical operations are being performed in selected patients by the surgeons at Johns Hopkins.
Chemotherapy and radiation therapy also are used to treat stomach cancer. Currently, the cancer center is participating in a national study using radiation and chemotherapy after surgery for stomach cancer.
New Treatment Approaches
Our physicians are participating in large national study groups to examine new drugs for the treatment of early-stage disease after successful surgical resection. For advanced stomach cancer, our doctors are investigating novel drug therapies as well as new biological therapies -- a form of treatment that helps the body's immune system attack and destroy cancer cells.
Stomach Cancer Survivorship
Survivors of cancer of the stomach and esophagus may find many changes to their bodies from their cancers and treatments. Some side effects such as fatigue, loss of appetite, joint pain, numbness and tingling of the hands and feet (peripheral neuropathy), and anemia can linger after treatment; fatigue can last for up to a year. Be patient and allow your body time to heal and adjust. Always discuss any health concerns and symptoms with your doctor.
Pain levels can vary after treatments. Pain following surgery generally is short term, while some patients also experience chronic pain. Your doctor can help prescribe the pain-relieving medication that is right for you. Some patients find holistic methods like acupuncture, meditation, yoga or hypnosis helpful.
Surgery and treatments affecting the digestive tract impact the body's gastrointestinal function. Following surgery, many patients do not feel as well after eating some foods or large meals. Energy levels usually return slowly, partly because of anemia and partly because the body may not have the ability to properly digest food and extract the nutrition needed to keep you active.
Survivors who have had a gastrectomy or esophagectomy should follow a special diet, called a postgastrectomy diet, to help slow down the rate at which food travels through the gastrointestinal tract. This gives the body more time to digest food and pull out the nutrients you need.
As you recover, take charge of your health by eating healthy, exercising and reducing stress. Avoid tobacco and limit alcohol intake. Keep up with screenings for other cancers, like mammographies and colonoscopies.
Experts with the Esophageal Cancer Program at Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center treat more esophageal cancer patients than any other local medical center. Our researchers are covering new ground in the treatment of all types of cancer, including esophageal cancer. The staff at Johns Hopkins are experts, in many cases nationally and internationally known, in esophageal cancer and how to treat it. The Johns Hopkins Cancer Surgery Second Opinion Program offers people recently diagnosed with esophageal or gastric cancer the ability to consult with some of the leading experts in cancer surgery.
There are a variety of national support groups for both esophageal and stomach cancer survivors. The Esophageal Cancer Awareness Association's website has information and resources about esophageal cancer, including a section for survivors. The Esophageal Cancer Action Network,, founded by a Johns Hopkins patient and his family, provides support and resources for esophageal cancer patients, caregivers and survivors.
No Stomach for Cancer provides information and support for stomach cancer patients and their caregivers. Debbie's Dream Foundation: Curing Stomach Cancer, is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to raising awareness about stomach cancer, advancing funding for research, and providing education and support internationally to patients, families, and caregivers. DDF seeks as its ultimate goal to make the cure for stomach cancer a reality.

This weekend, Lleyton Hewitt will be eager to erase the small blemish on his distinguished Davis Cup career, reports Linda Pearce.
There is a conspicuous blank space on one wall of Lleyton Hewitt's new $3.2 million waterside home in Adelaide, right across from his framed pictorial collection of the 1999 Davis Cup triumph in Nice.
"There's a gap on the other side, and Lleyton said, 'That's where I want this year's photographs to go'," said recent visitor John Fitzgerald. "That's what he wants."
Indeed, not in all the years Fitzgerald has known Hewitt has he been aware of his fellow South Australian desiring anything as much as victory in the final that starts today against Spain at Melbourne Park.
Only the latter stages of Wimbledon, 2002, when the whiff of opportunity became an overwhelming scent of grasscourt grand slam victory, have even come close.
For as much as Hewitt has been the brilliant mainstay of this Australian team almost since he joined it in 1999, and is tipped by John Newcombe and John Alexander to become the nation's greatest-ever Davis Cup player, it is a lesser-known and slightly quirky fact that Hewitt's only three losses in live singles rubbers have all occurred in finals.
There, his 2-3 tally in meaningful singles matches compares unfavourably with a remarkable career statistic of 20-3 overall. Throw in the doubles loss with Pat Rafter in the 2001 final against France at Melbourne Park, then mix in the fact that Hewitt is as patriotic as he is proud and, whatever his public protests, this is a blemish that must sting.
"He knows that he's lost three live ones in finals; he knows that, but that just inspires him to want to win this one," said Fitzgerald, who watched the first two deciders from the commentary box, and the third from the captain's courtside chair vacated by Newcombe.
"I think that's probably a good thing if it does burn him a little bit, because he's the type of guy that just needs something to set up a mood for him, a focus," said former teammate Mark Woodforde. "It's like a dog with a rag doll. Once he gets it in his mouth he won't let go."
A closer examination reveals no sinister pattern, and absolutely no suggestion of a choke by this most devoted of Davis Cup servants, for present and past witnesses Fitzgerald, Todd Woodbridge and Newcombe insist there has been no noticeable pre-match tightening or inability to deal with the unique pressures of Davis Cup deciders. So, to recap:
Nice, 1999: France 2, Australia 3, indoor red clay
Australia's three points were won by Mark Philippoussis and the venerable Woodies in doubles, while the 18-year-old Hewitt fell honourably to Cedric Pioline on day one, his first loss in cup competition. Two days later, a champagne-doused Hewitt was polished off by Sebastien Grosjean in the fifth match - underlining, in the process, the absurdity of dead rubbers.
Hewitt: "It's the worst feeling I've ever had as a tennis player, losing a Davis Cup match. I can say I don't want to have this feeling again."
Barcelona, 2000: Spain 3, Australia 1, indoor red clay
Hewitt led off with one of his great matches, struggling through illness to beat Albert Costa and shut out a hostile day-one crowd. While he found Juan Carlos Ferrero too much when the tie was decided two days later, Hewitt's courage, composure and competitiveness on his least-preferred surface ensured he would leave a difficult tie with his reputation enhanced.
Hewitt: "It's obviously very hard to take, especially being the one out there to actually lose the Davis Cup. You know, two days ago I was saying I had the greatest feeling out on that court and now it's probably the worst feeling in my tennis career so far. How things change so quickly."
Melbourne, 2001: Australia 2, France 3, portable grass
On the court built for Rafter, Nicolas Escude emerged instead as the star of the turf, impersonating an Aussie serve-volleyer to pinch the first point in five sets. Hewitt pushed the tie to a fifth rubber by clobbering Grosjean in the reverse singles. A fortnight earlier at the Masters in Sydney, Hewitt had ended an arduous tournament year as history's youngest-ever world No. 1.
Hewitt: "I've lost some of my matches in the last three finals, and it doesn't get any easier."
Asked whether his approach was different for finals than for preliminaries, Hewitt replied: "No, first-round ties are just as important. I don't feel any more added pressure because you're playing in a final. It doesn't really enter my mind."
And yet it does provide for a slightly jarring note on the record of a player whose career has been defined by heroic cup wins under duress - think Gustavo Kuerten in Brazil, Costa in Spain, Todd Martin on debut and Roger Federer from a seemingly impossible position only two months ago.
"I think the thing you have to look at more is that this is his fifth year of Davis Cup competition, and the only time he didn't play was against Argentina when he was sick, and the other four years Australia's got to the final," said Newcombe.
"Nobody in the world's got a record like that."
As with his predecessor, Fitzgerald regards Hewitt's finals blot as merely the sum of three quite separate and defensible parts. "There's nothing deeper than that," Fitzgerald said. "Lleyton's record is incredible, if you look at the win-loss record in live matches. He's played three great players, especially the first two, in difficult conditions, their best conditions, and if not his worst, then probably not his favourite conditions.
"The one in 2001 would have been the biggest surprise. But having said that, he played a guy (Escude) who probably played the best tennis of his life that weekend and we thought he'd play well, but I'm not sure if we thought he'd play that well. Also, there was a lot of pressure on Lleyton at the Masters Cup, and then the relief after he'd got to No. 1, then he had to get up again and I think he was a fraction, just a fraction, flat."
Circumstantial, then? "Absolutely. And when you play in a final you usually play great players, too, so you can play a lot of early-round Davis Cup matches and the players are not necessarily going to be like they are here. You play great players, you've got to play well to beat them."
As Hewitt has done, from Florianopolis to Malmo, Perth to Zurich; from the grand stage of the Davis Cup world group to a humble qualifying tie against India in Adelaide.
And although his only scoreboard contribution to Australia's 1999 triumph came in the preliminary rounds, the prominence of the pictorial collage in the palatial new Chateau Hewitt says plenty about his footy-style emphasis on team above individual.
There is just that matter of a blank wall to be addressed, and an overdue starring role in a Davis Cup triumph at home would fill it nicely.
It would also be the best thing to happen to Hewitt in a tumultuous season in which, ironically, his Davis Cup finals record might be the sole aspect of his game to end the year ahead of where it began.

No-tags Google Analytics Integration: Pion Lite from Atomic Labs
March 2nd, 2010 | Published in Google Analytics
We occasionally see a particularly inspiring integration with Google Analytics. Our latest source of inspiration comes from a product called Pion Lite by Atomic Labs. Pion Lite collects your traffic data and populates your Google Analytics reports -- without using Google Analytics page tags. Atomic Labs offers Pion Lite free to Google Analytics users.
Pion Lite passively "listens" to all of the network traffic between web servers and visitors. This approach reduces the overhead traditionally required to capture visitor data with page tags, and also provides complete data about site visitors including those using mobile devices and RSS readers.
Pion 3.0 includes a new setup wizard that makes it easy for new users to get up and running with Google Analytics by just answering a few questions. Pion talks directly with Google Analytics to populate your reports, offers customizable data capture, real-time data processing and integration, and supports advanced Google Analytics features such as custom variables and events, ecommerce and campaign tracking.
If you're attending SMX on Wednesday, you'll have a chance to learn about Pion Lite in person. Atomic Labs CEO Mike Dickey and Phil Mui, Google Analytics Senior Product Manager, will be giving back-to-back presentations at the SMX Expo starting at 1:20pm on Wednesday, March 3rd.

The Australian branch of British retail bank Lloyds TSB sold $750 million of three-year notes to more than 60 investors, a person who has seen the terms said on Thursday.
The offer, which consisted of $300 million in fixed rate and $450 million in floating rate notes, paid a margin of 190 basis points over swap and BBSW, in line with indicative pricing.
The orderbook received $850 million worth of bids and some investors were scaled back, the person said.
About two thirds of the book was sold in Australia while the balance was placed in Asia and Europe.
More than half of the orders came from fund managers and a third from banks, the person said.
This was an inaugural offer for Lloyds which, until earlier this year, used to raise Australian dollar funds under the name of Bank of Scotland.
During the global financial crisis, Lloyds bought HBOS, the parent company of Bank of Scotland.
JPMorgan, Macquarie Bank, Royal Bank of Scotland and UBS jointly led the offer which will be repo-eligible with the Reserve Bank of Australia.

BERKELEY - In a season with twice as many questions as answers, UCLA learned one solid, incontrovertible fact Wednesday.
You can't shake a rattled Roll.
UCLA senior guard Michael Roll drilled a desperation leaning jumper at the free-throw line with 1.9 seconds remaining in overtime to lift the Bruins to a 76-75 victory at Cal's hostile Haas Pavilion.
Roll collected a loose ball with four seconds left after sophomore point guard Jerime Anderson appeared to have thrown it away. After the ball ricocheted off a Bears defender and into Roll's hands, Roll quickly looked up and let loose. The ball dropped into the net as the Cal crowd sat stunned, unwilling to believe.
But did Roll believe?
"Yeah, oh yeah," he said. "I really did. It was only right. (Senior forward Nikola Dragovic) made a good pass to me on the play before and I kind of missed it, hit it off my knee, so I was feeling terrible after that.
"It was only right that it would come back to me and I would make the shot."
A miracle ending would have been laughed at early in the game.
After a Roll jumper with 15:22 left in the first half, UCLA (7-8, 2-1 Pac-10) did not score again until Anderson's 3-pointer more than four minutes later.
By then, Cal (9-5, 1-1) built an eight-point lead and controlled the tempo, with guard Patrick Christopher breaking his defenders off the dribble to the tune of 12 first-half points on 6-of-11 shooting. The Bears went into the second half with a 34-26 lead despite shooting just 43 percent, including 14 percent on 3-pointers.
Cal stretched the lead to 12 points with just under 16 minutes left in regulation and still maintained an eight-point lead with 12:44 to go in the second half. But the Bruins put the clamps on the Bears, particularly on the perimeter, as Cal shot just 1 for 10 from long range in the second half.
"Two for 17? Wow," Roll said of the Bears' 3-point shooting before the official stats were released with an additional Cal 3-pointer. "You really can't expect that; they are really all great shooters.
"It's shocking. I didn't even know that."
The Bruins harassed the Bears early in the second half, though, by mixing and matching 2-3 and 3-2 zones and coach Ben Howland's typical man-to-man defense.
For a six-minute stretch starting after a jumper by Theo Robertson, who led all scorers with 24 points, with 12:25 left in the second half Cal scored just six points as UCLA took control.
"We showed some resiliency, we showed some toughness, not to give in," Howland said. "This is a huge win for us. Winning on the road in a true road game is always tough.
"As disappointing and as down as our last game was, I thought we showed some good bounce-back."
Howland said Tuesday he regretted not moving into the zone against Arizona in a 77-63 loss on Saturday at Pauley Pavilion. With freshman forward Tyler Honeycutt in the starting lineup - Anderson was benched for being late to a injury rehab session on Sunday - the Bruins opened the game in a 2-3 zone and continually went back to it to give the players some defensive breaks.
At the end of the game, Roll was fresh despite playing a team-high 41 minutes.
"This is what I've trained for all summer," Roll said. "This is what I want, this is what I have. Also, we played zone and that kind of helped us with the wind factor. It gives a chance to get back and set up, not as much commotion."
At the end of the game, it was all commotion.
A desperation heave by Bears forward Jamal Boykin missed the backboard and the Bruins celebrated, a bit shocked but relieved to eke out a win after what surely looked like their first loss at Cal since Howland's first season in 2003-04.
Well, not everyone was shocked.
"I was looking at the ball, and I swear to God I saw it inside," Dragovic said. "I wasn't even going for the rebound. If you see the tape, I was just standing right there. I saw it going in."

LOS ANGELES (AP) With six games left in the season and the Lakers already in the playoffs, Phil Jackson still won't take his foot off the gas.
Pau Gasol had 23 points and 10 rebounds, Kobe Bryant added 20 points, and the Los Angeles Lakers picked up their 60th victory by beating the Houston Rockets 93-81 on Friday night.
Gasol and Bryant both played 38-plus minutes for the Lakers, who reached 60 wins for the 11th time in franchise history but the first since they went 67-15 in 1999-2000.
GAME REPORT: Lakers 93, Rockets 81
Los Angeles pulled within a game of Cleveland for the NBA's best record, and Jackson definitely wants the Lakers to have the home-court advantage throughout the playoffs.
"We have to make an attempt for it. I wouldn't feel good about it, even with these players, if we didn't. We really don't have to threaten our well-being by doing it, I don't think," the Lakers coach said.
So winning against possible postseason opponents also makes a statement?
"I think it certainly does drive home a message. It's not the end, obviously, the games have to be played, but teams have that in the back of their mind, 'Here it goes again, we're going to lose again.' That's an issue I think that's important, to always have that kind of dominance."
The Lakers did, but they had to push and shove for it against Houston.
The game was gritty from the start and three technicals were called before the first quarter was over — on Bryant, teammate Derek Fisher and the Rockets' Aaron Brooks.
"They're a tough team and we've had our problems with them in the past and during the regular season," Bryant said. "I wanted to send a message to my teammates and to the referees that we're here to play, we're not going to be out here just kind of going through the motions.
"If a guy's going to grab my shirt, I'm going to let you know about it. It's important to come out with a sense of urgency right from the top. We're fighting for a bigger prize. It's going to get chippy."
Ron Artest had 21 points for the Rockets, who slid into fifth in the Western Conference, a half-game behind Portland.
Bryant hit consecutive three-pointers with less than five minutes remaining to give the Lakers an 11-point lead and Gasol made four free throws down the stretch.
Yao Ming had 16 points, 10 rebounds and six blocks for the Rockets. Luis Scola scored 16 for Houston, which was swept by the Lakers in the season series for the first time in seven years.
The Rockets had a 13-4 run that stretched from the third into the fourth, but then went without a field goal for nearly five minutes until Scola hit a jumper with 5:25 remaining.
"That is why they are a finals team. In the fourth quarter they take control," Houston coach Rick Adelman said. "That is something that we knew going in because it happened the last three games and it kind of happened tonight, too."
So why did it happen?
"From the first minutes of the game up until the last minutes we didn't run our plays," Yao said. "We keep saying that from the first games of the season till now and we have two weeks left until the playoffs. We'll see if we execute."
Shane Battier, who finished with 14 points, brought the Rockets within five with 4:41 to play, but that's when Bryant started hitting threes.
Notes: Lakers center Andrew Bynum (torn MCL) started working on 3-on-3 drills on Thursday and is still hoping to get on the court before the playoffs start. "The lateral movement started to feel better, so that was the next step," Bynum said before the game. ... Adelman is hoping to have Carl Landry back before the season ends. Landry was shot in the leg on March 16 and has participated in drills, but hasn't fully recovered.

I found iMovie pretty frustrating when trying to stitch a sequence of stills together for stop-motion. My second attempt was with Adobe Premier which is much more flexible, although you need to edit the length of the each clip so not ideal.
I'd look at some the dedicated software for stop-motion. It'll save you a ton of time and mouse clicks.

My First Fiberglass Repair
1 Attachment(s)
Hi All,
I'm about to attempt my first marine fiberglass repair, and just wanted to check that my plan is solid (so to speak..).
So the problem is that the wooden strut in the rudder assembly at the top of the picture below has come loose from the fibreglass.
This has lead to a small mount of play in the rudder when you hit it hard against the stoppers.
After a bit of research I'm looking at using the 105 Epoxy Resin and 205 (?) Slow Hardener from West Systems. I have no idea what sort of fibre weave to as yet.
My main question is around how well this will bond to the wooden strut. I will sand this back and clean it with acetone before hand, but is there any better resin / hardener products to use to get a good structural bond with the wood, or is Epoxy resin fairly standard for bonding to all materials?
Re: My First Fiberglass Repair
I would be interested to hear what others say. Injecting epoxy into the crack may fix it. Depending on the size of boat (i.e. the pressure on the part), I would consider bolting the wood in place. I would do this by first reinforcing the fiberglass tabbing (which would mean removing the paint first!), adding a few more layers of more fiberglass, then drilling the reinforced section and bolting the wood solidly in place, and finally injecting epoxy. Overkill? Perhaps.
Re: My First Fiberglass Repair
I was actually planning on taking an angle grinder to the small amount of fiberglass which current covers the wooden strut pedestal.
I'm not sure what is underneath to get a bolt through but I'll check that out as well. Thanks for the idea.
Re: My First Fiberglass Repair
Back it up with some stainless through bolts with fender washers and you'll never have to worry again.
By the way, the bolts are only to eliminate any possible shear load induced movement on the wood/glass interface that could eventually break the bond, not to add strength per se.
Re: My First Fiberglass Repair
West 205 is their fast hardener, the slow is 206. I would use the 206 as it gives you more working time before it gels.
Re: My First Fiberglass Repair
If you do go the grinder route, please make sure you use a good respirator or dust mask. The grinder will create an amazing amount of dust in short order. Putting up some plastic sheeting to keep the dust out of other parts of the boat is also a good idea -- you'd be surprised how far that stuff migrates, and will find all the nooks and crannies you've never noticed before.
Re: My First Fiberglass Repair
This place is great - good advice here.
Biaxial cloth is probably a good idea with the curves. Respirator and sheeting off - definitely. Only thing I would add is the importance of acetone, generally before as well as after sanding/cutting, to make sure that you don't drive contaminants into the surface you are preparing.
Also give the wood a light sand and thorough acetone wash (respirator!)
Finally - this will sound odd - the viscosity of epoxy changes dramatically with temperature. I did a project which started in winter, when the epoxy was like molasses, and ended in summer, when it was like water. You want the epoxy to penetrate wood/cracks/cloth, and so may need to *slightly* warm it to reduce viscosity. Clearly this also accelerated hardening, but with a slow hardener you should be fine.
Enjoy! Fixing fiberglass is easy - and fun!
Re: My First Fiberglass Repair
If you can't do that because of cramped access to the work area or something, another way of making it easier is to paint resin on the bonding area before laying the glass in place. If you put a generous coat down and roll the fabric into it, it will hold it in place while you finish wetting it out "from above".
Also, be sure to stipple it with the resin brush and roll it out until all the white spots disappear - then you know it's fully saturated. After that, squeegee any excess resin out with a plastic "Bondo" squeegee and mop it up with the resin brush.
Re: My First Fiberglass Repair
Wow guys. Fantastic feedback. I like the idea of putting down a coat of Resin before laying the glass in place.
Glad to hear that fiberglassing can be classed as fun too. I'm quite looking forward to the project and will post some photos of the finished job.
Btw- Anyone know a cheap supplier of the West Marine epoxy in Sydney, Australia?

30 hand picked films. A new one every day
The charismatic criminal Dobermann, who got his first gun when he was christened, leads a gang of brutal robbers. After a complex and brutal bank robbery, they are being hunted by the Paris police.
Hyper-kinetic 1990s Euro-action soaked in techno and blood, not unlike like the work of Luc Besson or films like Run Lola Run. The action sequences were fast-paced, off the wall, and inventive (not to mention simultaneously funny and brutally violent). The bank robbery brings Killing Zoe to mind due to its comedic brutality. In the end, a fantastically over the top action film with lots of style.
This was one hell of a ride, full of crazy chracters, Kounen's frenetic direction and one crazy gun fight scene. Always been a fan of Tcheky Karyo and I loved his performance in this film, he's just nuts. Cassell is badass and I really loved Monica Bellucci as a crazy deaf woman (crazy seems to be the way to the describe everything about this film).
This movie took badassery to another level. Grotesquely twisted humor and visual exaggerations endows a band of lowlifes with a charm that u rarely see in an action movie. It is rude, ugly and at some times stupid -definitely one of my all time favorites!
sentimento: ser minado
Higly grotesque and entertaining: a perfect combination! Kounen understand the real value of Monica Bellucci giving her a mute part.
God! I remember watching this nearly 20 years ago!
Feels too pretentious

Women with PIP breast implants 'want them to rupture'
Some women with PIP implants want them to rupture so they can get them replaced for free, Newsbeat is told.
Others say they've had to go thousands of pounds in debt to have them out.
The Department of Health says implants are not toxic and they don't believe they are a threat to the long-term health of women who have them.
Six months ago Newsbeat spoke to more than 150 women with the faulty French implants and have managed to get back in touch with 70 of them.
We asked them questions about how they felt about their implants, how they paid for them to be taken out and how worried they were about having them in.
Thirty-three of the women who still had their implants in said they were causing them stress and that they wanted them taken out.
Many women admitted that when they went for scans they wanted to be told their implants had ruptured.
Some of the private clinics will only give free replacements if a rupture can be proved.
Natalie Black is 26 and from Maidenhead, Berkshire, and had her PIP implants in 2008.
She says she can't afford to pay to have them replaced.
"While I was waiting for my results I secretly hoped I might have a tiny rupture," she said.
"Obviously I have nothing, thank god, but it just means there's nothing they're prepared to do.
"It means I have to save up £5,000 to 6,000 myself."
Twenty-three-year-old Sarah Nash, however, has had her implants replaced.
She was refused a scan because her GP said her implants were fine.
In the end she says she got a credit card to have them replaced and found they had both ruptured.
"I'm 100% happy they are out but I am very, very angry that I had to pay," she said.
"I actually didn't have to pay if I had been able to show the rupture on a scan.
"I could have saved myself a lot of money."
Doctor Ruth Waters is a consultant plastic surgeon at Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham.
She said: "It's not easy to diagnose a ruptured implant clinically, especially early on.
"The scans, whether it's ultrasound or MRI, are not 100% fool-proof."

Rim size.
I found a sight that sells SRT8 wheels and i really like the looks of the black ones but I cant seem to find the offset to see if they fit on my little Patriot. The site has em 20x9 or 20x10 but doesnt list offset, can one of you please help? thanks
Re: Rim size.
I think it could be a completely different bolt pattern. The company that does the reproductions is called.. "Factory Reproductions" I would find their customer service number and see if they could drill a different bolt pattern for your order.
You think the 20x10s can fit on the Patriot? That'd be huge if they could!
Re: Rim size.
The Patriot has the 5 on 4.5 bolt pattern like the cherokee and the liberty and Zj. They wont fit.
Re: Rim size.
Re: Rim size.
the SRT wheels are 5x5(5x127). The front are a +35 offset(I think) and the rears are +50. Do you know the offset of the patriot wheels? Call Doug at Factory rteproductions and he should be able to help you
Re: Rim size.
Scott did you say before that Doug was the guy you tried to talk to about reproducing the SRT10 wheel for our Jeeps?
Re: Rim size.
they are producing the Viper reps for the WK......I've been expecting them to be released soon...although I have no inside info or anything
Re: Rim size.
yeah i found out the srt8 wheels wont fit. I think the offset right now that I have are 42mm thats a bummer, but I will give them a call because I think the black ones would look really sick maybe not the 20x10s maybe the 20x9s though.
I may actually look at Caliber SRT4 rims. pretty much the same look but only in 19s
Re: Rim size.
the caliber wheels would be sick dude!
Re: Rim size.
FYI, I am 99.9999% sure that the patriot has the 5on 4.5 bolt pattern, i have seen jeep wrangelr rubicon moab wheels on them before so i am pretty shure that that Dodge charger/magnum RT 18" wheels will fit perfectly.
Here is a set on an XJ. The jeep center caps fit them too.
I think you can get black replicas too.
---------- Post added at 10:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:20 PM ----------
Any of these would be sick too. All listed that they will fit a charger so if the offset is right they should work too.
Re: Rim size.
yeah i was lookin at them on Dougs (the guy scott told me to check out) website I'm just worried that the 20x9s might rub and I dont want to buy rims that would rub. but how much of a difference can .5 really make? the 20s i found on tire rack were all 20x8.5
Re: Rim size.
can you guys tell me the other makes like ford, toyota, whatever, that will fit my 99 WJ?

Shelling at Sanibel Farmers Market
I can find seashells everywhere on Sanibel… even at the Sanibel Farmers Market! Seriously, all of these veggies were made by Barbara Walling using different seashells. Dont you remember Barb? I filmed her making other shell art creations a few years back and she is still creating such fun shell crafts. Aren't these the cutest veggies you've ever seen?
If you want to see this in person, you only have a few more weeks since this market is open seasonally from November through April where Betsy, Jean and Sherrill proudly display it at their booth.
You can even find seashell soaps at the market…
Honestly, I'm not much of a cook but when I have guests over, its fun to buy local fresh food and mingle with the island peeps like shellers Mary and Jim that I met on one of the iLoveShelling cruises to Cayo Costa.
But anyhoooo…back to the shelling on the beach. Here is a sampling of shell treasures I found at Gulfside City Park one morning this weekend.
Just after I met Nora, Mac, Dan and Molly (visiting from Illinois) I heard a loud "Whoa!".
Mac found a SAND DOLLAR laying under some seaweed just like this and then fund a few more.
Then Molly asked me what this unusual bivalve was. It's a SMOOTH DUCK CLAM. They are so fragile, it's hard to find one that is not broken- so good finds!
I always say that there are enough shells on the beach for everyone because different people like to collect different shells. Sydney and Lori tom Indiana were trying to find broken shells and shells with holes in them.
They like to find the shells that already have holes in them so they can make jewelry. I love that they were getting so creative! I had to chime in too and told them that I like to collect the OLIVE shells without tips to make bracelets (for my tutorial CLICK HERE) and also explained how to make a seashell mobile too with broken shells. There are so many fun ways to decorate with shells!
PS- I got all my fresh ingredients at the Sanibel Farmers Market to make dinner because it was my turn to host for my book club (we've been together for 12 years!). I used some ideas from Pinterest and it was a fun, successful night with my girlfriends. If you like to read, this is my favorite book I've ever chosen that every sheller or treasure hunter would enjoy…
Turkey Wings and Rice, a Cone and Candy
Don't get your taste buds all worked up about TURKEY, RICE or CANDY because I'm talking seashells, of course! We found lots of mini "morsels" at the lighthouse over the weekend including these two TURKEY WINGS (the biggest one is only about an inch long) and two TAMPA TURRIDS in the photo above and RICE OLIVES and BABY'S EARS in this next photo.
Along with the usual ANGULATE WENTLETRAPS, I found a BROWN BANDED WENTLETRAP too….
…. And some AUGERS and little FIGHTING CONCHS.
And to top it all off with some sweet candy, we found two HORSE CONCHS and baby ALPHABET CONE.
I met William and Melissa (Jacksonville, FL) filling their shells bags with SCALLOP shells, CONCHS and some MUREXES.
I found out this was their first trip to Sanibel so I showed them how to find WENTLETRAPS too..
I met another Shelling Sister Sanibel Stooper on the beach too…. this little cutie Lucy! She was having a ball with this COCKLE shell on the beach with her parents Jeff and Tammy.
And look what I found again…. a SMOOTH DUCK CLAM. Maybe it isn't that unusual (?)
Unfortunately, it's so thin and fragile, it broke when I got it back to the house……oops!
There were so many SAILOR'S EARS, I bunched a few together and that's when I saw the SMOOTH DUCK CLAM too.

Duck, Duck, Goose. Clams On The Loose!
I see a lot of CLAM shells every day I'm on the beach but this one I found at Blind Pat's (….oops! I mean Blind Pass. ;) ) was a little different from the usual clam shells like the DOSINIAS, CALICO VENUSES or SEMELES.
At first I thought it was just gunk stuck on the edge of this shell but I didn't want to do anything to it since it seemed so fragile. Once I got home, I could see that this thin shell was a SMOOTH DUCK CLAM and that "gunk" was a nice little ridge on the side of it that makes it different from its "sister shell" the CHANNELED DUCK CLAM I call a SAILOR'S EAR. I don't think I've ever picked up a SMOOTH DUCK CLAM before (I don't think it's too common in South Florida but I may have just never noticed) but we frequently see the SAILORS EARS on the beach so I can't believe I've never shown this one before.
See? Doesn't that look familiar? I found the SMOOTH DUCK CLAMS in the shell line on the pass side of the jetty rocks this week.
I found the CHANNELED DUCK CLAMS in my stash of shells that Clark and I have been trying to organize. I've been overwhelmed by all the shells in our garage that have never been cleaned and sorted so this is our project this week. Organize! We don't bring home many shells any more but some times…. you know how it is. We just can't help it.

I hope this is the right place to ask for help!
I am really having to teach myself Linux (and raspberry pi) and have in the past, generally follow the 'recipes' (howtos) posted by others. Of course the raspberry pi is breaking new ground and having used Asterisk and FreePBX (open source SIP/IAX based telephony PBX) on i386 systems in the past, I have recently been experimenting with an image for "incrediblepi", based on asterisk and FreePBX which is distributed by nerd vittles: http://nerdvittles.com/?p=3026
I have put the image onto a SanDisk 32Gb Class 4 card without too many problems, except I experienced some apparently random freezes. Looking into this a bit further, whenever I run apt-get or dpkg (with a view to installing additional utilities such as webmin) the Pi keeps crashing during the unpacking phase and rebooting.
I suspect the SD card may be responsible, but have run several tests in accordance with other guidance in this forum regarding SD card issues and cannot find anything obvious. Read / Write benchmarks seem to be reasonable and in line with other cards reported.
The kernel is (ostensibly) the latest kernel and I have also updated it to ensure that it really is.
- Code: Select all
uname -a
Linux incrediblepbx 3.2.27+ #250 PREEMPT Thu Oct 18 19:03:02 BST 2012 armv6l GNU/Linux
To try and further my own knowledge, I have tried to look up some tools to start debugging the cause for this and some very good guidance is to be found within "The Crash Book" http://www.dedoimedo.com. However it would appear that in order to run crash analyisis utilities such as LKCD or Kdump, will require the kernel to be re-compiled in a very specific way in order to capture the memory after a crash.
To start with it recommends downloading the sources as follows:
- Code: Select all
apt-get source linux-image-$(uname -r)
However, this returns the following error:
- Code: Select all
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to find a source package for linux-image-3.2.27+
I'm now kind of stuck as to where to go now and I would very much appreciate a nod in the right direction.
Kind regards,
Andy Woolford

It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
Hi all,
I'm taking part in the Dirty Weekend obstacle race in two weeks' time, but as I'm based in Dubai I'm on uncertain ground in terms of best gear to wear given the guaranteed water and mud.
As things stand, I've got a pair of Saucony trail shoes, and was intending to wear compression tights with shorts over the top (with pocket to store gels etc). I've got an old Nike compression top I was going to wear, but thinking I may be better off getting one from the likes of 2XU on the assumption it can cope with water absorption better.
Somebody also suggested gloves could be a good idea, but any advice from others with experience of such races would be hugely appreciated. Thanks in advance.
I think you may be over dressing.
Wear an old pair of trail shoes, often you'll never get the mud out again so you don't want to wear anything new or decent.
Lycra shorts, (don't want longs) and a running vest. Gloves - gym gloves with grip on the palms. You're going to get wet so the less you wear the better. If it is cold then wear the Nike compression top - there's not much difference between one brand and another as to which will shed water the best. i just find that lycra is better than anything baggy.
I think that unless your compression tights really are tight tight they will get baggy and that will cause discomfort, best just not wear any. Stick to compression or lycra shorts. You can hold your gels in a belt which maybe more comfortable that soggy wet muddy baggy shorts.
Hope it's dry and sunny on the day.
Thanks for taking the time to reply and will definitely take all of that onboard. Managed to pick up the trail shoes cheap as guessed they'd be taking an awful battering (not to mention not much call for them over here!). Hadn't thought about the compression tights getting baggy so that's a really good tip as well. Thanks again.
yep - mrs hog is right - ditch the tights as they will just add to the weight when they get wet and filthy.
I've usually worn lycra running shorts under an old pair of nylon football shorts so the outer shorts take any abrasion and the lycras keep you warm.
with the shoes, see if you can get some laces with knots in as these don't come undone so easily when you get mud suck on the shoes - and even then double knot them when tying them up. nothing worse than losing a shoe in the mud - and many do!!
some people swear by rash vests (the kind surfers wear) under a short sleeve t-shirt (again for abrasion resistance) as they can be warmer than standard compression tops
Thanks Fat Buddha. I've actually got a rash vest so will definitely go down that route.
Whatever you wear, go for old, tatty, and pretty much ready for the bin. That way you won't be annoyed if (when!) it all gets wrecked...

Testing & Results
I used the PAPAGO! P3 Dashcam for several days in three different cars. The first problem I ran into was mounting: this is very large for a dash camera, and would not fit behind the rear view mirror on any of these cars, where you'd normally mount a Dashcam. But one of the main features of the P3 is its screen, so you'll want to be able to see that. Without the option dashboard mounting system, your best bet is probably to mount it near the center of the windshield, below the rear view mirror. Of course this blocks part of your view, but you do want to be able to see the unit's screen. And keep in mind that the lower you mount the camera, the harder it is to adjust it to see the road, rather than filling the video with your car's hood.
Once you start your car, the P3 takes about 22 seconds to boot and start recording video; you'll know it's ready when the status light on the front turns red. By default the P3's screen will display the live video the camera's recording, but by pressing the Mode button, you can switch between displaying live video, the time and date, your speed, or a GPS map. Here's how the map looks:
The map data included with the P3 was spotty. In my area, a major highway (Route 395) that has been here for 20 years is not on the map (the display showed a blank gray screen, and there was no road information above "Nevada, United States", but a roundabout built in the last two years is. You'll generally see the name of the road you're on (although in some cases I saw the road name blink out for a period of time, then come back on, all while driving on the same road). Keep in mind that the GPS satellites only provide co-ordinate data, and the P3 records this correctly; the problem is mapping this data to a particular road.
Safety Features
The P3 offers a number of safety features that set it apart from other Dashcams. Some of these features like the LDWS and FCWS obviously depend on image processing performed on the camera's input. If you've gone through the calibration procedure, the camera will overlay a horizontal yellow line on top of the video display where it thinks the road horizon is, and diagonal yellow lines will overlay the lane markings on either side of your car.
If you've set the P3 to display live video, you won't get any warning messages on the screen, only warning tones (these tones are not described in the manual, but the LDWS emits a single tone, while the FCWS makes two "car honk" noises). If you've set the P3 to display Time and Date, Speed, or the GPS map, then when a warning occurs, the entire screen will display a warning for a few seconds right after the tone sounds.
It's impressive that PAPAGO! is trying to perform real-time video image analysis with its tiny mobile CPU, but the results are not particularly good. As you drive, you can see the yellow indicator lines flickering on the display as the camera struggles to identify the horizon and lane markings. Even on a clear sunny day, on a road with clear lane markings, the PAPAGO! P3 would only warn me if I drifted out of my lane about half the time. And it would sometimes barrage me with "COLLISION!" warnings even when there was no car within a quarter mile of me.
There were a few times when I was at a stop light when a different tone sounded, but it happened so infrequently that I couldn't determine what condition set the tone off.
If the unit is not calibrated perfectly, the results are much worse. All in all, these features are probably best left turned off.
The video the P3 shoots is full HD (1920×1080 pixels, 30fps), and the quality of the video is superb, with excellent adaptation to lighting and razor-sharp details.
With all of the "info overlay" options turned on, you'll see your location, direction of travel, speed, and the road you're traveling on. Note the GPS co-ordinate data on the bottom line: this is always correct, although problems with the map database may mean that no street name, or the wrong street name, is displayed on the line above.
…as well as the time and date:
Even videos taken at night were surprisingly good, with less noise than I'd have expected and clearly visible details.
Videos are broken into 5-minute segments, and there seems to be less than a second lost when transitioning from one segment to another. The standard H.264 files play readily on Macs or PCs with no extra software required, or you can connect an HDMI cable and output the video to a TV or monitor.
The P3 has other features, some of which seem a little odd. For example, you can use it as a still camera:
…that takes several shots at once with a single button press. These images are saved as standard JPEG files, but since the P3 has no internal battery and can thus only be used with it's plugged into power, I can't imagine when you'd actually use this feature.
I would guess that enabling these features would automatically write-protect or otherwise save the current video files when a collision was detected. I say "guess" because…yep…these settings aren't mentioned in the manual.
So the P3 is an excellent dash camera, at least. In the next section I'll present my final thoughts and conclusions on this device.

OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla. - In front of 5,887 fans at the ASA Hall of Fame Stadium in Oklahoma City, Okla., on Friday night, No. 11 Northwestern (49-13) utilized a one-hit shutout by hurler Eileen Canney and single runs in the sixth and seventh innings to defeat No. 5 Tennessee (59-11), 2-0, and send the Lady Vols into the elimination round. UT will now face-off against the winner of tomorrow's noon ET contest between Arizona State and Oregon State at 7 p.m. ET on Saturday evening on ESPN.
The loss was the Big Orange's first of this season in a night game and in a neutral site contest having entered today's match-up with Northwestern at 11-0 and 23-0 in both categories, respectively.
Freshman third baseman Jennifer Griffin registered the only hit of the night for the Lady Vol offense with a third-inning double. Junior hurler Monica Abbott suffered the hard-luck defeat after allowing two runs on five hits with 15 K's in seven innings of work. With the defeat the All-American dropped to 42-9 on the campaign. The strikeout total was the most in a single contest for Abbott since registering 16 K's on March 18 against No. 18 Auburn in a no-hit effort.
"What I told my team after the game was that I was proud of them, but quite frankly we met a team that wanted it more than us and was hungrier than we were," said Lady Vol co-head coach Ralph Weekly. "I think that Northwestern played a fantastic game. Monica (Abbott) pitched a great game. They just beat us. That's all there is to it. When we get one hit in our lineup we have a problem on offense. Monica pitched tremendously. She got us out of scrape after scrape after scrape. There is only so much a pitcher can do and she did it. I'm not saying this to be down on our kids. I am proud of our kids. We told them last night we didn't come here to beat number one, we came here to be number one. But I knew after last night that it would be very hard to get our kids up. We just ran into a buzzsaw and that buzzsaw was purple.
Abbott, the three-time All-American hurler for Tennessee, worked a perfect top of the first to set a dominant tone for the Lady Vols from the circle. Left fielder Katie Logan and shortstop Tammy Williams grounded out to open the inning before Abbott struck out Garland Cooper to bring up the nation's top offensive attack.
Northwestern's Eileen Canney, the Big Ten Pitcher of the Year, looked just as strong in the circle for the Wildcats in the bottom half of the first by registering a pair of K's in sweeping through the frame. Fekete led off the inning with a walk, but was gunned down at second on a steal attempt by the combo battery of catcher Jamie Dotson to covering shortstop Williams.
The Wildcats came through with the first hit of the contest in the top of the third as rookie right fielder Erin Dyer led-off the frame with a line drive single into center. Abbott responded by striking out second baseman Ashley Crane and third baseman Darcy Sengewald to climb within one punchout of 500 K's for the third straight season. Logan grounded out to Jennifer Griffin at third to end the frame and leave NU's first runner stranded.
Griffin, the UT freshman from Whittier, Calif., posted Tennessee's initial base knock against Canney by ripping a long double to the wall in right center field with one retired in the bottom of the third. The hit was the first of her brief NCAA career after going 0-for-6 at the plate combined in UT's previous tourney action in `06. Unfortunately, she was stranded right there at second as rookie Kenora Posey went down on strikes and Fekete popped up a bunt to Canney in the circle.
Some program history was made by Abbott at 9:09 p.m. CT versus Northwestern lead-off batter Tammy Williams in the top of the fourth. With the Salinas, Calif., native's sixth K of the match-up, Abbott achieved her 500th strikeout of the season for the third consecutive season. With one retired the heart of the Wildcat order mounted a concerted attack as Cooper walked and Dotson singled up the middle to give NU a pair of base runners. Following a visit to the circle by UT pitching coach Marty McDaniel, Tennessee's 6-3 lefthander settled down to strikeout Wildcat designated player Kristen Amegin and center fielder Sheila McCorkle to halt any scoring threat.
The pitcher's duel continued right on through the fifth inning as Abbott had produced 10 strikeouts and NU's Canney seven to that point. Meanwhile the two squads had combined for just three total hits (Tennessee only one).
Wildcat lead-off batter Katie Logan got something started for Northwestern in the top of the sixth with a base hit up the middle past a diving Schutzler. After Williams went down on strikes for out number one, Cooper walked to grant NU a pair of base runners for the second time in the match-up. Dotson swung and missed at a wicked curve ball to mark K number 12 for Abbott. Amegin broke the scoreless tie, however, with a rocket shot past a diving Posey at second base to plate Logan for a 1-0 Northwestern advantage. McCorkle popped up to third, but the scoreboard damage had already been done as NU registered one run on two hits and a walk in the inning.
Now faced with a late deficit for the second consecutive night, the Lady Vols entered what had recently been a magical inning in NCAA Tournament play as Tennessee has outscored its opposition 9-2 overall in the sixth. The frame worked out extremely well last night when UT tallied three runs against No. 1 UCLA. Griffin led-off the promising inning with a walk and pinch runner Lillian Hammond advanced to second after pinch hitter Liane Horiuchi was struck by a pitch for the 18th time this season. A Fekete ground ball moved the duo up 60 feet on the basepaths for sophomore Natalie Brock. Unfortunately, the Nashville, Tenn., native went down swinging against Canney, and Schutzler lined out to short to conclude the attack with UT still trailing by a single run.
Northwestern added a crucial insurance tally in the top of the seventh as Sengewald drove an Abbott pitch deep over the left center field wall for a solo home run to grant the Wildcats a 2-0 lead venturing to Tennessee's last chance opportunity.
Callahan battled Canney for at least 10 pitches before going down on a 3-2 count for the first out of the bottom of the seventh. Card was retired swinging to bring up Durant with UT's last chance hanging in the balance. A harmless fly ball to left by Durant ended things as the Wildcats triumphed by two runs.
The No. 5 Lady Vols will now move to the other side of the WCWS bracket and face elimination on Saturday, June 3, in a 7 p.m. ET match-up on ESPN against the winner of an earlier noon ET contest between Arizona State and Oregon State. Live stats will be available through utladyvols.com, and periodic updates will be posted on the Lady Vol Hotline at (865) 974-8700 (box #6).

What does it take to get the lifters pumped up? Will priming the engine do that? Also Old Bogie recommended tightening 1/2 turn after the pushrod no longer has any play. Most things I've read say 1/8 to 1/4 turn. Bogie has given some pretty good advice in the past, so I'm inclined to listen to him. Are you out there Old Bogie???
Bogie gives great advice, but he has been at this forever....as a rookie I use the jiggle up and down method on the pushrod, when it stops up and down movement I go half turn and call it done. The "spin" method I try every time for some reason (stubborn) and am too tight always. Even last week I finished installing heads, and once it was running I reset lash just backing them off till they clack, then went half turn in. Now thier good....but some were way over lashed....and guess which method I used initially......the guys that have done it lots have no issue, but rookies , me included, go to tight.

I thought that given our blog readers' input and thoughts on our various posts over the years, I should let you guys know that your comments have helped shape what we write about as well as our opinions over the years. Apparently, the psychiatric community at large is listening too, if the Clinical Psychiatry News stats are any indication.
So....keep reading, keep commenting and thank you for helping us write.
