Sailboat bulkhead material and Location
I'm really using this forum to gear up for a project, thank you very much.
Marine plywood versus standard pressure treated plywood as an alternative for a bulkhead material? Marine plywood needs to be shipped in from Seattle...I can grab a sheet of 3/4" pressure treated right off of the shelf. Any issues with this that folks can comment on?
Follow up, I've been reading about some folks using a fiberglass G-10 panels in a West System write-up as well for an alternative.
Also, Location....is there any reason not to remove a bulkhead while the boat is in the water....structurally or is this a boatyard repair. I can shore up the lateral as required, however without load...mast removed and shrouds not connected, cabin deck supported internally...is there a flex issue with the boat simply floating without a main bulkhead?
I replaced my starboard side bulkhead recently and used marine plywood because I had ready access to it for a fair price. In retrospect, I am not sure it was necessary because I ended up coating the piece with epoxy and strengthing areas with additional layers of fabric. The marine ply is clearly superior to the standard and I have a greater level of confidence in the repair. Also my boat is 7.3 meter and will not have the same load as your Cal. West Systems Epoxy Works had a good article on a bulkhead repair where an even more $$ and exotic material was used
Yes, I read that article and looked at the composite board material! $$ is right....but bulletproof. Thanks.
You are aware that pressure treated woods, including pressure treated plywood, are fairly toxic, since they are basically saturated with toxic heavy metal poisons as a preservative technique. Using them on the interior of a sailboat is probably not a great idea, and if you are going to work with them, wear a very good dust mask, as the dust is rather nastier than what normal marine plywood would create, having arsenic-related compounds in it IIRC. :)
Thanks Sailingdog. Great point on the toxicity. I was thinking simply on durability and not that I'd have to be living next to it.
Marine plywood has a couple advantages ...extra ply and no voids..been told same glue is in exterior ply so thats no better...but for a bulkhead that will be reinforced anyway I would not pay special fright and or wait for it to arrive just to have it but would go with 3/4 inch cc plugged ex tier...
Pressure treated ply also is not as stiff due to the impregnation process...it warps a lot easier under loads...so I would not use it for a bulk head...I wish Bayliner would have used it for transoms in their boats though...they would not have such a rot issue...
You will be fine pulling your main bulk head under the conditions you listed still in the water...
My feeling on these type of questions is that the labor of the job (your time)is exponentially more expensive than the materials and often you are short changing yourself by choosing a less expensive material over the one you know is better. Just my two cents but I have found that after spending 80 or so hours (WAG) on a job like this it's easy to regret saving $50-75 or so bucks for cheaper materials.
Good marine plywood cuts much cleaner, the plys are usually finer grain, is vastly stiffer as Stillraing points out, has no voids, and will provide the right answer for the next potential owners survey.
Whichever way you go, good luck with the project
I can understand the difficulty you face, if the proper material is not available. Would your supplier be willing to put a few sheets of marine ply on his next shipment of material, and perhaps split the freight with you?
Whatever you use, I would echo the others and say use the best you can get your hands on. It isn't an easy job to begin with, and it would be a shame to see first class labor with second rate materials.
From my own expierience I would advise that once the piece is cut and test fit that you seal all the edges with thickened epoxy, two coats is best, and then tab to the hull well. Your bulkheads may never have rotted if the edges were sealed well. Wooden boats can funcion well indefinately with water inside, but plywood fairs poorly to being even damp for long periods.
Do the job well and be pleased with the result.
Great stuff guys....thank you very much. Marine Ply it is an take my time.

Shop Talk: Science at Colgate and Lehigh, Arizona Preservation
Colgate U. has opened its new Ho Science Center (Colgate U. image)
Opening: On Saturday, Colgate University celebrated the opening of its new Robert H.N. Ho Science Center. The 121,200-square-foot building cost $56.3-million and was designed by Shepley Bulfinch Richardson and Abbott Architects. It houses 40 research labs, 13 teaching labs, seven classrooms, a 90-seat lecture hall, faculty offices, a museum, a greenhouse, and more.
Permission: Lehigh University has won permission from its local planning commission to construct a $55-million, 130,000-square-foot science building, according to the Allentown, Pa., Morning Call. Before the plan was approved, the architects created a computer simulation showing that the four- and five-story building's shadow would not fall on the rose window of a nearby church during Easter services.
Preservation: Fifteen buildings owned by Arizona State University on its Tempe and Scottsdale campuses appear on the Arizona Preservation Foundation's list of endangered historic places, according to the East Valley Tribune. Preservationists are concerned that the university isn't committed to saving old buildings, particularly after it demolished a landmark 1962 Valley National Bank branch (above), although it saved the dome for reuse in a park. But Ron McCoy, ASU's university architect, told the newspaper that ASU agrees with preservationists about the value of buildings on the endangered-places list. Meanwhile, The Arizona Republic says the Valley National Bank's Modernist branches have left a lasting imprint. (Tempe Historical Society photo)Return to Top

Good fit, decent materials.
1995 Jeep Grand Cherokee
Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
On a 1995 Jeep Grand Cherokee this kit fits fine. It does take some careful placement to line it up right; especially they screw holes. The unused tabs break off easily with pliers, but that causes some concern about the strength of the plastic overall.
Pros: Fits correctly, universal to many models.
Cons: Brittle plastic. Be careful.

Twenty-three special Alaska children feel like they really belong to someone today.
That's priceless.
Sure, it's great, if you're a kid, to own a computer, games, a cell phone and the latest styles. But, it's even greater if you have someone or someone has you.
We make this point now because this is Adoption Awareness Month, and in observing it, 17 Anchorage families adopted 23 children this week.
Alaska tallies several hundred adoptions a year. Federal statistics show that Alaska families adopted 643 children in 2008, the year with the most recent available figures.
Nationally, about 136,000 children were adopted in 2007 and again in 2008. That's a 6-percent increase since 2000 and a 15-percent increase since 1990.
Almost half of all adoptions — 46 percent — are handled through private agencies, while welfare agencies arrange about 39 percent. About 14 percent, or more than 17,000 children, are adopted internationally.
Alaska has the highest adoption rate per 100,000 adults in the nation, followed by Montana and Oklahoma.
The vast majority of adoptions nationwide are made possible by mothers in their teens and 20s. These young women who might have been adopted themselves or who are strongly influenced by their mothers, siblings, peers and boyfriends are the most likely to relinquish their babies.
The number of such young women has dropped dramatically since before 1973, when such relinquishments measured almost 20 percent of adoptions. The figure dropped to less than 1 percent in the 1990s. Undoubtedly, the increased availability of abortions as a result of their legalization in Roe vs. Wade in 1973 contributed at least in part to that decline.
But, of course, while babies are relinquished and adopted, many older children also need and find parents through foster-care adoptions. (These occur when foster parents decide to formally adopt instead of providing only foster care.) In 2010, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, there were 115,000 children in foster care awaiting adoption.
Federal statistics show that millions of women consider adoption; about a half follow through, and a quarter complete an adoption. About a fifth of those who adopt are single.
Men are twice as likely to adopt as women, largely because they more often than women adopt stepchildren when they remarry.
Adoption has created many and varied families. Some adoptions give young couples their only chance for a baby; others match older children with the parents they long for. Each one is a gift, a priceless one.
During Adoption Awareness Month, we celebrate adoption.

Roxy didn't have to earn her wings, she had them when she came to us. She was an angel sent straight from heaven to be with us. Roxy brought light, love and laughter into our lives like no one else.
She suckered me in from the first moment I looked into her beautiful eyes at the shelter.
Gusto! That's how she lived her life! Gusto with love, with laughter, with FOOD, with Max and Kodi, with frisbee, swimming and ball, with camping with exploring, with Boating - oh she loved a boat ride - the wind in her hair! We are the most blessed family that ever was because of Roxy.
For the best 12 years of my life, Roxy was my sidekick and the center of our family.
God carried our precious Hammy safely and peacefully home to his side. The angels were singing! All of the dogs who have gone before her welcomed her and she is happy, young and healthy again! Barking at everyone :).
She loved to make people happy and to see them laugh! (almost as much as she loved food!) We will shed tears because she is not physically with us. But we will remember how much she loved to make us happy and keep that knowledge as close to our hearts as Roxy will always be.
We are better people for having known her. God blessed us with Roxy and for that we are so very thankful.
We've started getting up before the sun to walk with the peeps during the weekdays
For some reason we do not understand, the peeps want to stay in bed FOREVER on the weekends!
It drives us crazy.
5:45 a.m. rolls around and we're jumping on the people, smacking them in the face with our noses and paws trying to get them outta bed.
We're creatures of habit, not just 5 days a week habits...all 7 days.
I mean what does it matter to us, getting up early, we've got all day to nap.
As you all may know, I am what you might call a garbage hound.
I gobble up whatevfur I can get my paws on.
which lately, includes, Max's food, my food, the peeps food.
On our visit to the lake today,
the peeps noticed my big round buddha bellay is a little rounder these days
and *gasp* I'm not as tenacious this year with the laketime frisbee
This is quite disturbing.
Last year, I was superHam!
Powering through the water after my frisbee for a full hour!
I was a true athlete. Rippling hammy muscles and all.
This year, eh, not so much.
So despite the mean peeps calling me a fat ham (mean, just mean), Mom is putting me back on the road to my peak form again.
This means, eating only my food *GASP, I'm gonna starve!*
and back to our morning workouts at the Lake - which I LOVE!
Well, there's good and bad, in everything.
I don't really appreciate the new nickname, Marlon Ham-O.
Not funny, peeps, Not funny.

Fair university admission policy:
by Prof. Ranjith PREMALAL DE SILVA
The University Grants Commission has released the handbook for
university admission in 2012. In this process, the set of formulae used
for combining the z scores of new and the old syllabus students of
Advanced Level examination led to a serious controversy.
However, the core issues related to a fair university admission
policy have been overlooked by almost everybody. Unfortunately, the
trade unions of university and school teachers are also interested only
in the district rank error and the solution given to combine marks of
two groups of students in new and old syllabi. This is probably due to
the political connotations associated with the issue and possible link
up efforts with non state universities.
It is dismayed to note that the real issues overarching the entire
university admission procedure, which should be discussed, debated and
agreed upon have never been surfaced properly at right discussion
forums. The objective of this article is to highlight these important
issues with the intension of making university admission offered to the
best group of students.
There were series of articles published in national newspapers
supporting or criticising the approach adopted by the Expert panel of
statisticians appointed by the University Grants Commission. In
addition, several leading professional personalities came forward to
propose the released results are erroneous, without engaging in proper
scientific evaluation of the background facts and realities, probably
due to their political affiliations.
The criticism that the pooling techniques introduced by the UGC
expert panel are unfair to a group of students has some merit in it.
The use of the common mean and a standard deviation from the combined
data based on student numbers in each stream makes the point that the
mean and standard deviations are not derived from the same data
distribution and hence the derived data cannot produce a standard normal
distribution with mean zero and standard deviation of 1.
Firstly, in order to generate a standard normal distribution, the
data must be processed using the two central tendency and dispersion
parameters derived from the same set of data.
Secondly, the assumption is made in pooling the data are not revealed
and it is impossible for somebody to verify the conditions assumed in
the use of the pooling formulae. Further, it is noted that the developed
formulae were selected reviewing the actual results and not based on a
sound conceptual footing.
As an alternative and a better method as claimed to be was proposed
by Prof. R.O. Thattil. He is of the view that the two data series need
to be combined on the merits of z scores which are calculated separately
for individual data series separately. Although he is my most respected
statistics 'Guru', I have several reasons to disagree with his
In reviewing this approach, it is obvious that simple combination of
the individual z scores would make the university admission open to
equal number of students from new and old syllabi. For example, if 100
students are selected for medicine from new syllabus group, the proposed
method would ensure that there would be another 100 selected from the
old syllabus group.
Here the assumption made in relation to this allocation is that the
two groups should be given equal opportunities.
However, analysing the ratio of students who secured admission in
national universities during the last ten years, it is evident that the
students on first attempt and the students on second/ third attempts
have not gained admission in equal numbers.
Hence, this method also has a serious flaw and favours one group who
has been less capable. Is it the justice that the teacher unions are
unknowingly demanding as a solution? Accordingly, further considerations
are needed before concluding the acceptability of the method of
combining the z scores directly. The students who have a higher share in
admission in the past would seek legal redress even if this approach is
In view of the need to establish a fair and consensus solution for
university admission criterion, a very pertinent issue has been ignored
now and also in the past.
Students who are sitting for the A/L examination first time are
expected to perform at the same level with students who are sitting for
the examination in their second or third attempt, probably even after
few years of continuous studies. With the self experience in
acclimatizing for the examination, they are immune to most of the
problems encountered in a virgin attempt by a student.
This introduces a greater injustice to fresh students because all the
students who seek admission are not given level field to compete and one
group claims an unfair advantage.
It can be easily understood that with all the additional time and
experience gathered in sitting the examination once or twice before, the
senior students are capable of performing better than a newcomer.
Those who hail justice by making a mountain out of a mole hole
regarding the pooling equation, do not seem to notice the greater
injustice made to new students by treating them equally with the other
privileged group of experienced students at the most competitive
examination. Obviously, the students making an attempt for university
admission in their second or third time, should be given a higher target
than that of required by the new group of students.
The so-called experts in teacher unions shouldering an
anti-government propaganda make an attempt to correct a minor deviation
while ignoring some of the critical issues popped up towards
streamlining the university admission process. Public should realize
that there is no perfect solution for the problem on the absolute scale
but what is required to be implemented is a process which is free from
obvious injustices like in the case of treating first and second/ third
year groups equally.
There is another confounding factor which again causes serious
injustice to a certain group of good students in the process of
university admission.
From our experience, we know that physics is a relatively difficult
subject for students, especially for the students of the biology subject
Therefore, some students opt for agriculture science in place of
physics. The use of the z score for admission empirically considers the
best student in physics is equivalent to the best student in agriculture
science in offering admission to the universities for agriculture and
biology degree programmes.
There are several subject combinations which are at different levels
of standards being treated as equal for university admission. It should
not be misunderstood that highlighting this fact is an attempt to take
away the obvious merits of using z score in place of simple aggregate
However, this issue needs to be discussed at a wider forum to prepare
suitable strategies to avoid injustice to good students due to the
selection of a specific subject combination in seeking admission to
national universities.
Until last year, there were only four streams that students can
choose for university admission namely, biology, physical science,
commerce and arts. There were defined subject combinations for each of
the first three streams and those who do not qualify for the first three
streams based on their subjects offered fell into Arts stream.
However, this has been revised this time introducing a fifth stream
named as 'other' defining a complex subject combination options for the
arts stream.
This has not been communicated to students prior to their selection
of subject combinations. This also poses a serious challenge to a
certain group of students and the teachers' unions are either blind or
insensitive to this issue as well.
Determination of university admission based on both merits and the
district quota system.
However, 60% of the admission opportunities are reserved for the
district quota system.
When the student numbers for university admission of each district is
determined based on the population of the district and not even on the
basis of total number of students sitting for the examination in a
particular year from each district, it is obvious that students residing
in districts where the proportion of number of A/L students per 1000
people is low, gain an unfair advantage over the students in other
districts where the said ratio is high.
In addition, there are schools with all the facilities and resources
while there are resource-poor schools in every district.
Treating both these types equally in the guise of nominal district
identification introduces a serious injustice to students from
resource-poor schools. The relative injustice here may be much higher
than that of all the above issues but the teachers' unions are
tightlipped about this issue.
There should be a performance quality index for classifying schools
based on the overall resource availability and this index can make the
basis for providing an identification for resource-poor schools rather
than adopting an approach based on district label for qualifying
students under district quota system.
In summary, it must be emphasised that there are several issues
related to university admission which have not been brought to
limelight. These issues need to be discussed in detail and a consensus
solution must be formulated with a wider participation of stakeholders.
It is disheartening to note that the teachers' union and other
politically motivated groups make a concerted effort to discredit the
government highlighting the weaknesses in the pooling approach adopted
by the examination department in combining A/L marks while being
ignorant or insensitive to some of the major issues prevalent in the
university admission process.
The public should be made aware of the background realities of the
problems and issues in the university admission process while exposing
the characters responsible for the unscrupulous allegations levelled
against the entire examination process and university admission.

On Energy, 2012 GOP Field Pushes Cuts While the President Pushes Success
For those of you feeling frustrated by the lack of progress on green industrial growth and clean energy reform, last night's GOP debate was a distinct reminder that the outlook could be much worse.
During the debate, former PA Senator Rick Santorum, who previously called climate change policy a "beautifully concocted scheme" by the left, claimed that Obama's obstruction of offshore drilling was a primary cause for our current energy concerns. Despite tar still washing up on the Gulf and the ongoing deterioration of the Louisiana coastline more than a year after the Deepwater Horizon spill, Sen. Santorum feels there's no need to cry about spilled milk--or in this case, 210 million gallons of spilled oil, by reviewing the environmental risks associated with offshore drilling. Santorum's state is currently exercising the same mindset, throwing caution about fracking to the wind and expanding natural gas exploration.
Using terms like "devastation" and "job-killing" to describe the effects of corporate taxes and federal regulations--nevermind corporations coming off a record year for profits in 2010 and the Obama administration's effort to promote "Smarter Regulation" (which has resulted in a net rollback on federal regulatory authority)--Michele Bachmann named the Environmental Protection Agency the number one enemy of economic growth.
Here's a video of all the GOP candidates' greatest government-crushing hits, courtesy of ThinkProgress:
Meanwhile, President Obama was on the road in North Carolina making the case for a jobs plan that fosters innovation and focuses on educating the next generation of Americans in high skilled fields. Visiting Cree Inc., a Durham, NC manufacturer of LED light bulbs that boast 75% more productivity than traditional incandescent lights, the President highlighted the success stories in green industries, despite GOP opposition in Congress to substantive green investment or any measure of carbon-pricing. Here's a video clip of his speech.
Undoubtedly, energy policy will continue to dominate the 2012 campaign debate over the economy, with the parameters being what modes of energy are best for the nation and the level of government involvement. Check out the candidates' arguments and you decide!

(POCATELLO) – Officials with the U.S. Department of Agriculture say Idaho's beef production has been cut in half in the past year.
Local News 8 reports the drop is due in large part to the closure of a major packing plant, but other factors are still in play. A hot, dry summer led to significantly smaller herd sizes.
Experts say feed shortages are also impacting drought-stricken areas of the midwest, which will likely cause a dramatic cost increase in beef products for everyday consumers.

Discussion in 'TiVo Roamio DVRs' started by Bighouse, Jan 30, 2014.
Should be a brown truck dropping of a TiVo Roamio Pro model today at my house! wooo hooo!
ok then....
I love getting new tech toys. The semi-ritual of opening the box. The new plastic smell...
Brown truck just delivered some Chemex filters for me. Yea!
Brown truck around here means garbage day....
Mmmmm......chemex filters.
(Seriously, what are those?)
I had to Google it. Apparently some sort of fancy coffee maker...
What's google?
Truck stopped at my house too with a pair of Moca adapters from TiVo. I picked up a really cheap $10 used Verizon FiOS router that I configured as Moca gateway instead of a traditional router but with it, I will have 5 ports of ethernet including an additional wireless AP on one end of a coax drop, with one actiontec gateway on my lan side all connected by coax! The other actiontec gateway is a spare since I'm considering getting a Roamio or need ethernet some were else in the house were I can't get cat5 run to.
Got it all configured this evening, I will put it I place tomorrow and see if works better than the wireless I currently have, very cool especially as the Verizon FiOS router was easy to setup and has advanced options that you usually don't see in home routers.
Had doubts about the Verizon FiOS router due to the cheap price but if you need to extend your home network over Moca and have multiple ethernet drops on the room end, it's a heck of lot cheaper than the dedicated Moca gateways with more than one ethernet port, I will keeping an eye out for more!
Those brown trucks are like a mini Christmas morning!
I have a new Roamio now...but think I'll get up early tomorrow to set it up.

If you'd like live support, you can contact me at unclecheese at leftandmain dot com and I can get in there and figure it out for you..

Okay, I'll contact you per mail.
Hi Plato,
Thank you very much for sharing!
That solved the problem of uploading files with Uploadify for me.
When i added files to the upload que i would get a HTTP Error notice from Uploadify.
After adding the below code to my .httaccess in my webroot, it's working again:
### prevent SWFupload errors ###
<IfModule mod_security.c>
SecFilterEngine Off
Was there a conclusive outcome to this?
I'm getting uploadify either freezing or telling me there is an i/o error. Debugging turned on, no informative messages and no errors in the server error file.

Pressestimmen'... undoubtedly one of the most comprehensive critiques of euthanasia and, serves as a necessary counterbalance to the growing number of pro-euthanasia contributions. ... Lawyers and non-lawyers alike with an interest in end-of-life issues will therefore find this a stimulating addition to their undoubtedly well-stocked libraries.' New Law Journal 'John Keown's informed and powerful argument against euthanasia features both an excellent exposition of its pitfalls and a strong confrontation with a question that remains controversial abroad: Are there circumstances in which withdrawal of treatment should be considered euthanasia? The power of Keown's argument holds your interest while making you think. The lucidity of Keown's logic make this book a provocative and important contribution to the ethical and public policy issues involved in end-of-life care.' The Hastings Center Report '... the latest offering from John Keown ... succeeds admirably, rewarding anyone who takes the time to chew through it carefully with food for thought to titillate even the most refined intellectual palate ... The reader ... having taken the trouble to read Euthanasia, Ethics and Public Policy shall undoubtedly be better informed ... Keown has produced a well-structured, deeply ethically penetrating analysis of the issues, which also manages to be a thoroughly stimulating read. the book is to be welcomed as a most significant contribution to the debate.' Medical Law Review 'Keown's clarity of thought explodes myths and beats an accessible path through a detailed jungle of morality and social history.' British Medical Journal 'Keown ... has produced what is the best book in print on the case against the legalisation of euthanasia.' The Tablet '... written in a moderate and reasoned tone and in a manner easily understood whether you are a health care professional, lawyer, politician or just an interested member of the public ... required reading for anyone who intends to make a public statement in the euthanasia debate.' Roger Woodruff, International Association for Hospice and Palliative Care Newsletter 'A veritable tour de force through the controversies apparent in the modern euthanasia debate ... reads easily and coherently. ... it really does offer a comprehensive ethical and legal analysis of the main arguments from both sides of the debate.'

KAHUKU » A pair of endangered Hawaiian geese that have hatched goslings and settled on Oahu's north shore were likely on their way back to Kauai from the Big Island when they stopped in Kahuku, a federal biologist said Wednesday.
The nene pair was taken from Kauai to the Big Island within the last two years as part of a program to move geese away from lagoons next to the Lihue airport, said Annie Marshall, a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service staff biologist.
They are the first Hawaiian geese to make a home on Oahu since at least the 1700s, nesting at the James Campbell National Wildlife Refuge.
Another pair of nene was spotted at Makapuu on Oahu's south shore, but didn't stay.
There were just 30 of the geese in the 1950s when biologists began breeding them in captivity to save the population. Now there are more than 2,000 on Kauai, Maui and the Big Island.
"We were hoping, as recovery progressed, that eventually there would be nene on all the main islands where they used to occur," Marshall said. "It's a little sooner than we thought it would happen but it's all part of recovery."
The pair was first observed at the base of a windmill at the Kawaiola wind farm near Waimea Bay in early January, said Aaron Nadig, a biologist with the agency. They showed up at the wildlife refuge shortly after and haven't left since, said Marshall.
The geese swam in a canal and pond and walked across grass as members of the media watched from a careful distance on Wednesday. One adult led the way, while the three goslings and second adult followed close behind.
The refuge is one of the better places they could be on Oahu because it's surrounded by fences to keep out dogs and pigs. It has traps to catch smaller predators like mongoose and bullfrogs.
The grounds, covering some 1,100 acres, have a variety of foods the nene like to eat, including grass, berries, flowers and seeds. Natural wetlands and man-made ponds dating to the years when the land was farmed for sugarcane help the nene evade predators.
It's possible the geese will go back to Kauai once the goslings fledge in the summer, Marshall said. But the goslings are likely to come back to Kahuku because the birds, especially females, like to return to the place where they hatched to breed.
Many people on Oahu, the state's most populated and heavily developed island, have never seen nene in the wild before. Marshall urged people not to feed them as this will cause the geese to be accustomed to people, cars and roads. Getting hit by cars is a major hazard for nene.
"'Keep them wild' is our motto," Marshall said.
The James Campbell National Wildlife Refuge on Oahu's North Shore was established in 1976 to provide habitat for endangered waterbirds. It expanded in recent years to provide a home for seabirds, native plants and other species.
The refuge is not open to the public. It used to offer tours led by docents, but it currently doesn't have the resources to welcome the public because budget cuts have reduced its staff by half.

Friendly Advice: When you somehow manage to convince Miss World United States 2008 into going out with you despite a vast public record of you spelunking for crabs, you should probably lay off the flagrant crotch scratching. You might as well yell "I HAVE HERPES!" in her face before mentioning your doctor won't rule out leprosy yet.

Without trend, failure to reject the null of a unit root would imply
that the data needs to be differenced to be stationary; if the null is
rejected then the data is stationary and doesn't need to be
With trend, failure to reject implies that the data needs to be

Destinations by Joe
By Joe La Valle
Every summer, despite the sun and heat, necks across the country crane skyward, ears throb to the sound of roaring afterburners and hearts race as sport planes tumble and wheel across the sky. As a symbol of summer fun, airshows are a fun way to for the public to experience the thrill of aviation from the twisting dogfighters of World War II, to the latest high-tech aircraft. No matter your age, there is something for everyone to enjoy.
Starting on July 9th and running through the 12th, Florida's gleaming Pensacola Beach plays host to Red White & Blues Week. Come out for the food, fireworks and free concerts, and stay for the main event; Saturday the 12th at noon begins the Pensacola Beach Airshow, featuring the U.S. Navy Blue Angels Flight Demonstration Team, as well as a number of other equally thrilling military and civilian performers.
No matter your location, you and your family are never far from the aerial action. All you'll need is your sunscreen, appetite and earplugs.
Pilot Prepares to Start New Career
There is a reason American Flyers is known as the "Finish-Up School" and Eric Goodenough of Deltona, Florida recently experienced the kind of finishing up we provide.
Eric was the kid who'd run outside every time he heard an airplane fly overhead. He'd search the blue sky for the object of his affection. In high school he studied Airspace Science in Air Force Junior ROTC. "I always had an amazement for airplanes," he said.
When the time was right, he began training at a well known flight school in Florida, but found the pace to be too slow. His uncle and mentor, Eddie Royko, suggested looking into American Flyers because he'd been their chief pilot in the '80s when they were based at Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport. Operations Director Joe Cannizzaro met them on a weekend to show them around the Pompano school and Eric was easily convinced that this was the place for him.
He arrived in Pompano Beach in mid-February and flew nonstop. He needed 90 hours to qualify for his Commercial Certificate and within a month and a half he'd met the requirements and passed his check ride. Two days later he started working on his Multi-engine and took that check ride seven days later. From there he went right into the CFI Academy, which he finished with success.
Now he's taking a couple weeks off to see his family and he'll back as a CFI in Pompano. His long-term goal is to fly jets for a major airline someday, but for now he thinks he's going to enjoy teaching.
Pilot Seeks Adventure
On his journey to discover his passion, Adam Khan often chose paths full of adventure. After high school he enrolled in pre-med, following the cultural expectations of his background. He struggled with it and decided pre-med wasn't the right choice for him. So he followed the footsteps of his cousin and joined the U.S. Air Force at age 19, working 14 hour days on the flight line in Alaska at minus 60 degrees Fahrenheit. Though many would have considered those conditions a challenge, Adam considered the experience an adventure. It contributed to the man he has grown to be.
Eventually he went back to college and earned a double major in Business and Sociology. As he was looking into working on his MBA, Adam thought flight school sounded like another exciting adventure. He enrolled in a large school, but found it to be disorganized. After looking into other options he decided on American Flyers. "Don't waste time at a gimmicky school," he advised. "American Flyers is structured and got me finished up quickly with a good education." Adam is now halfway through his Instrument training.
Adam's family is very proud of him – he's the first pilot in a long line of doctors and IT managers. His long-term goal is to fly for United Arab Emirates Airline. Then his dream will be fulfilled. What some people may consider challenges, Adam Khan considers adventure.
Did You Know…
That prior to 1946, there were no stallwarning devices in aircraft. When aerodynamicist and engineering test pilot Leonard Michael Greene (1918-2006) realized that pilots couldn't tell when the critical angle of attack was exceeded, he invented the stall-warning device and earned the first of over 200 patents he would develop in his lifetime. He started Safe Flight Instrument Corporation to build his inventions. Their products include Stall Warning Systems, Angle-of-Attack Systems, Automatic Throttle Systems, the N1/EPR Computer, Airborne Wind Shear Warning Systems and more, and are used by almost all major air carriers, U.S. Armed Forces, and aircraft manufacturers.
In addition to his scientific contributions to aviation, Greene was a cofounder of Corporate Angel Network (CAN), which has been helping cancer patients get necessary transportation aboard corporate aircraft since 1981. Affiliated corporations provide free empty seats to cancer patients on board corporate jets flying on routine business. They coordinate more than 200 flights a month. Mr. Greene also founded the Institute for SocioEconomic Studies in White Plains, New York.
Checking Under the Pilot's Hood
By David Menconi, Chief Flight Instructor
When a pilot prepares for a flight, it is a matter of course to review things like the aircraft airworthiness, appropriate weather, including aircraft, route and airport information. The one factor that is the biggest factor in determining the safety of flight may not have been evaluated thoroughly enough. That would be the pilot-in-command.
Pilots commonly will review things like certification and currency requirements when evaluating their preparedness for a flight, but time has shown us that there are other factors that should be considered besides the fact that we are in possession of the proper paperwork. Each flight should include a review of the pilot's physical and metal preparedness for the flight they are about to undertake. Having the proficiency to handle the anticipated workload can be effected by a number of factors. The IM SAFE acronym can be used to help identify areas that should be considered.
Illness – Are you suffering from that bug that has been going around?
Medication – Prescription or nonprescription drugs can have negative effects. Check them out.
Stress – Stress can be insidious and cumulative. Exceeding your stress tolerance can result in a rapid decline in your proficiency.
Alcohol – Any alcohol influence reduces your reaction time and thinking process.
Fatigue – Sufficient rest is needed for top performance
Eat – A hungry person is not a clear thinking person. Have sufficient nourishment.

Pilots should recognize that meeting the medical requirements is not enough. Making sure that you are not operating an aircraft with a medical deficiency is also required.

Ask the Pilot Professor
By Dr. Michael Bliss
Question: Every time I open an aviation magazine it seems like half of the articles are about glass cockpits. I've never flown an airplane with a glass cockpit and wonder what all the hoopla is about.
Answer: Aviation magazines are in the business of bringing us the latest and greatest innovations concerning airplanes and flying. And it's true that glass cockpits offer many desirable features. However, in the midst of the "hoopla" there are a couple of points we should keep in mind.
First is the impression that if you don't fly a glass cockpit airplane you are living in the dark ages. The vast majority of airplanes flying today, including many sophisticated, high performance piston, turboprop and jet aircraft are not glass. They hardly need to be scraped or converted to glass to still have many more years of useful service.
The other issue is that the very thing that makes glass so appealing, if the pilot is not careful, can cause some hard earned skills to atrophy. The pilot needs to constantly maintain situational awareness and stay ahead of the airplane, anticipating what is coming and being prepared for it before it happens.
I am also of the strong opinion that students should learn to fly airplanes in general, and instruments in particular, on the good old fashioned analog instruments. Once these skills are learned a transition to glass may be desirable.
There have been and will continue to be many wonderful changes coming to aviation as a result of the power of computers. However, as pilots we should never fall into the trap of thinking that the computers can be the PIC while we become spectators.

SUNSET TO SUNRISE Night Flight Techniques
By David Robson
Peaceful, calm, romantic… Those are some of the joys of night flying which keep us coming back. Inside the cockpit, surrounded by darkness and blanket of stars, a pilot won't always have a visual horizon. That's why award-winning author/editor and Veteran pilot, David Robson, stresses that VFR night needs to be approached as flying by the instruments. Robson spent 21 years as a fighter pilot and test pilot with the Royal Australian Air Force and 10 years instructing at Australian Aviation college, as well as having been a member of the formation aerobatic team, the Deltas.
In Sunset to Sunrise: Night Flight Techniques, Robson presents an orderly review of instruments and systems. Meteorology is covered as well, including an interesting introduction to Astronomical Times (twilight, sunset, sunrise and daylight). Robson addresses decision making, explains the ears and eyes in some depth (particularily binocular vision), goes into visual illusions and spacial orientation and other Human Factors. Robson reviews techniques for both instrument and night flight. Then he goes over abnormal operations at night, followed by planning the night flight.
Robson's book is more than just a useful tool to help prepare you for your night flight. It give insight into some of the Human Factors that most aviation books don't discuss. Check out Sunset to Sunrise in our pilot shop.
Having trouble finding that reciprocal course or heading? A quick way of finding reciprocals, for headings that are not cardinal, is to add 200 degrees then subtract 20 degrees for courses or headings that are northeast or southeast, or subtract 200 degrees then add 20 degrees for courses or headings that are southwest or northwest. (e.g., Reciprocal of 140 would be 140+200=340-20=320 degrees.) You can also just work with the digits by adding 2 to the first digit, subtract 2 from the second digit, and make no change to the third digit. (e.g., Reciprocal of 140, 1+2=3, 4-2=2, 0=0, answer 320).
There isn't a better, more enjoyable and guaranteed class available. Plus the class includes two free hours of simulator!
Get involved… introduce friends to flying. If you have a friend or acquaintance who might be interested in aviation send them in, or better yet, bring them! We fly 7 days a week.
FREE Simulator … you can enjoy two hours of VFR or IFR simulator instruction, free, by attending either one of our weekend classes or taking an "IntroFlight".

Associate Professor-Clinical, Colon and Rectal Surgery
Physician, FGP-Colon and Rectal Surgery
Colon & Rectal Surgery
Lower GI endoscopy (colonosopy and therapeutic colonoscopy)
I grew up in Indiana and served as student body president in high school. I majored in Spanish poetry and linguistics at Vanderbilt while taking pre-med classes. I then attended Washington University in St. Louis for medical school and matched in general surgery at UT Southwestern in Dallas. There I developed an interest in resident and student education.
I completed my colorectal surgery fellowship at Baylor University Medical Center in Dallas. After mailing my CV to many programs with a cover letter in which I compared training athletes to training residents, I came to The Ohio State University College of Medicine (OSUCOM) in July, 2007. My career here is a reflection of all of this background, which is summarized below.
I teach year-round on our colorectal surgery service, teaching third and fourth year students, interns, third and fifth year residents and colorectal surgery fellows. I lecture in each of those programs as well. I have occasionally been called on to teach GI fellows and radiation oncology residents as well. For practicing surgeons I have designed and led a hands-on course in laparoscopic colorectal surgery and taught in didactic CME courses.
I have worked to increase my skill in education research, course design and leadership. I was in the inaugural class of the OSU Faculty Teaching Scholars Program, and then completed the Association for Surgical Education's Surgical Education Research Fellowship in 2012. My project involved the use of cognitive task analysis to study natural orifice surgery. I subsequently participated in the ACS Surgeons as Leaders course (2012), the ACS Surgeons as Educators course (2013), as well as Harvard Macy Institute courses in Leading Innovations (2012) and Educators in the Healthcare Professions (2014).
Since 2010, I have helped design and implement the surgical and obstetric portion of OSU's new medical student curriculum and became Clerkship Director of the current curriculum in December, 2012. Now, I am Integration Director of the new curriculum.
One of my most rewarding teaching experiences has been in leading two Learning Communities, groups of students who meet in our home for dinner to discuss various topics related to being a physician and adult in the world. In 2011, I became Director of that entire program, organizing the 80 such groups and coordinating their activities.
With respect to research and dissemination of knowledge, I have focused on being a part of research teams and in disseminating our work on the medical student curriculum. I am a co-investigator on a multi-year R01 award in which I collect viable specimens from patients with inflammatory bowel disease for micro-dissection. I have participated in various clinical and educational projects with my colleagues. Most recently I have spoken in various venues of the results of a pilot we did for the integrated surgery, obstetrics and gynecology clerkship for third year students that is rolling out in June, 2014.
My student council experience has come full circle, as I have planned many student events (Learning Community Olympics, ice cream social, etc.) and participated in faculty affairs as President of the Faculty Council and OSU junior faculty representative to AAMC Council of Faculty and Academic Societies. I am also an elected member of the University Hospital Medical Staff Administrative Committee.
I have been honored to be elected to Courage to Teach (OSUCOM honorary group for "servant-leader" educators) and awarded resident, student and departmental teaching awards in the Department of Surgery.
In short, since joining the faculty out of fellowship in 2007, I have had the opportunity to become very involved in faculty life and representation, teaching, leading curriculum change, and collaborating on research efforts.
As Clerkship Director, I counsel third and fourth year students applying to residency in surgery.
I have also informally advised the student-led Procedural Interest Group and Surgery Interest Group.

Female City College student punches attacker. He runs away.
There's an app for that
Mike Madriaga 12:40 p.m., May 25
San Diego Mike Mehaffey Age: 25 Occupation: Student/Retail Lives: Ocean Beach
My slang word is Barney because it's funny and it makes me laugh. A Barney is a dork or a loser -- someone who's goofy or out there or in the way. The first time I heard it, my friends and I were watching this old '80s surfer movie called North Shore. In it, there's this guy named Turtle who calls another guy a Barney. We were in, like, fourth grade at the time, and my friends all started calling each other Barnies. Then Barney, the big purple dinosaur, came out and that made it even better. Now, everybody uses it.


text: Combine Shakespeare's Taming of the Shrew with Porter's music and lyrics to get … KISS ME, KATE. A play-within-a-play, each cast member's on-stage life is complicated by what is happening offstage – from raging egos of the stars to gamblers and gangsters "brushing up their Shakespeare," this show is all fun, all dance, and glorious singing. Porter's songs include Why Can't You Behave, So in Love Am I, Wunderbar, Tom, Dick or Harry, Were Thine that Special Face, Too Darn Hot, Brush Up your Shakespeare, I Hate Men, Always True to You (In My Fashion) and the show business anthem Another Op'nin', Another Show. KISS ME, KATE is fun, brash, melodious and sophisticated!

The Goethe Institut Wellington and the NZ MFAT have been supporting Life Swap for a while now, a cartoon about two blokes, Duncan from Wellington and Jörg from Münster, exchanging places and skyping about it.
