Second Upstate Medical Administrator Leaves
ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) _ Another top administrator has stepped down at Upstate Medical University in the wake of an investigation into the compensation of its president.
Dr. David Smith said in a statement last Thursday that he was cooperating with the probe by the State University of New York and was stepping down as president. On Wednesday, Upstate Medical confirmed to local media outlets that Steven Brady, Senior Vice President for Administration and Finance, had announced his retirement.
Brady also served as executive director of MedBest Medical Management, a company affiliated with Upstate. SUNY Chancellor Nancy Zimpher said that's the company with which Smith set up a deferred compensation plan worth more than $349,000 without SUNY's approval.

Good location close to the underground District line. Not the best standard but clean. Good wifi. No music or TV but we had own loudspeaker so no probs there. Smaller in reality than it looks at the pictures. Over all OK.
It's was very a nice place to stay. It's very close to bus or tube stations, and it's easy to discover the city from there. On the street beside the apartment you can find a lot of place to eat or to buy food, that you can cook on the kitchen that a it's properly furnished. The apartment offer anything you need for a cheap stay, it's not luxury but complete. We found it clean and comfortable and the Hester was very nice even we don't had the chance to meet she in person.
We had a good stay in cheaplondonstay. The apartment was close to the subway and grocery store, so you can cook your self. The apartment was clean and we did not miss anything.
Great house for 9 people at that price! Quite central, good tube and bus connections and several local shops and eating options. OK rooms, will recommend more focus on the self-clean policy (we got a bit of a surprise at 10 pm the day before departure and check-out at 10 am!). Will definitely use Wimdu again.
We rented the house for four days with seven persons. The house was very clean and had enough space for all of us. We enjoyed the central location of the house. The buses stop in front of the door and the underground is only a 5-minute walk away.
Given the competitive price for our stay, the quality of the house was perfect. It is not the most modern accomodation, but everything you need is there.
We were nine people who have taken accommodation in May 2013 with Hester. Since we have not taken Hetser we had to pay no deposit. The accommodation was perfect for the competitive price. It's just one bathroom, but at the proper classification that is not a problem. Should only at the tables in the living room chair to be available for all people, not just currently seven units on site. It is also good that a heater is present, you can turn on. We would book this hotel again at any time when we are in London.
Very spacious, clean and cheap apartment for London.
Very friendly landlady.
Short routes to London City.
Good for low budget eating in East End.
Tip for Breakfast: Cafe 338 for £ 5 English Breakfast with good Coffee
Everything you need is here.
Got a nice time with my family in London.
I will come back.
Wonderful location and beautiful people, very Central in only 5 minutes you can reach every important place in London! Hester you are great!

People in this community...[ Edited ]
Most people in this community lack the proper mentality for this game!
I constantly read about people trying to justify there actions, or de-justify other peoples action by quoting fairytale or otherwise movie cliche ideals or "slogans".
Things as "that's not how a spartan plays" or "That's cowardly" or "you just spam" or "The gods don't do that or this"
If any of you come from the competitive e-sport community you would know that sentences like that are a surefire way of being labeled a noob or an idiot!
If a game is competitive, there are no wrongs as how to play it, as long as you keep it within the tools the developers have given you!
(IE. use anything except for glitches, cheats and other things that might be proven game breaking!)
Example, if you encounter a person "spamming" a specific move over and over again. And you keep on being beaten by it!
Its not the other person being cheap!
Its you that are a dumbäss for not learning how to deal with it after constantly being exposed to it!
And if you think that "the way of a spartan" is the optimal playstyle by constantly throwing your self in to battle, and keep on dying.
Well, then you are also a dumbäss if you expect this to lead to victory!
And to all you that keep on saying that X technique is to difficult, or that Y attack is too underpowered.
Stop complaining! give them a honest try!
Rom wasn't built in a day, neither will you become a pro at the game over a night!
Take a day or two just exploring your options, trying to learn said technique or weapon.
In the end of the day its not how many people you have killed, or how many points you have earned,
Its about how much you have learned, and how much better you have become!
Any top e-sport person will tell you that the best way to win, is to play solid, by not taking unnecessary risks,
and always keeping calm and remember what you have learned and apply it optimally in to the game!
Sure, for some it can be fun to not care what you do, just to mash buttons for a while.
And i totally support this, and for people to play the game at there own terms.
but please, don't comment on other peoples playstyle with idiotic comments such as those above!
Hope this will lead to a better community and understanding of the mentality of the competitive gaming scene!
Here is a example of me going in soly for the purpose of training on my parry technique!
It should however be noted that this was not my first game practicing parry.
I got my behind handed to me in several previous games due to constantly only trying to parry every attack!
But its now starting to pay of as i feel more confident in using the parry, rather then just soly relying on dodge/evade!
And i encourage people to take some time learning how to use it properly as well!
Re: People in this community...
I was really upset with this guy, because this was too coward... I run sometimes to find some health or magic, but never for more than 15 to 20 seconds. I fight most of the times because that's the fun of it...
This would be solved if they implement a deathmatch mode. No chest, no health, only magic fountains.
You were always Zeus' Favorite!

No, it doesn't. Like he said, lag was playing a factor. I've been up against laggers that I'm maybe 5 feet away from and can't grapple them. Attacks don't land, grapple doesn't land, they interrupt you at strange times. Now, their grapples will get you from across the screen or you'll simply die mysteriously.
Grappling, especially in Team Favor or any 8 player match is nigh broken when matchmaking lumps the world in together, or a couple people just have no idea how to set up a router or are running budget internet.
Sometimes you're on the invincible side of it (as you've shown in some of your videos) and sometimes you're at the mercy of it. Point is, you can't always grapple someone when you should be able to, and that was the case in the earlier comment.
She's going to have to fall on her sword. Which means that we have to stick one in the ground, trip her onto it and get someone to jump up and down on her back for ten minutes. --

Re: People in this community...
well on the spamming point, the boots of hermes, spam o over and over again and even if you escape the enemy can run away insanly fast and come back when your shield or escape thing has ran out. Its them being cheap not me being a **bleep** -_-. once you start experiencing these problems in MOC or 2v2 when kills matter so much ina hige orgy of people attacking itll annoy when you lose alot due to it

That's one area where the spear fails, the whole jump and heavy just sends you to the ground, no real combo potential.

1911 Encyclopædia Britannica/Vokes
From Wikisource
VOKES, the name of a family of English actors. Frederick Mortimer Vokes (1846-1888), the son of a costumier, made his first appearance on the stage in 1854. In 1861 he, his sisters Jessie (1851-1884), Victoria (1853-1894) and Rosina (1858-1894), and Walter Fawdon (Vokes), first as the "Vokes Children" and then as the "Vokes Family," began to perform at music halls and at the pantomimes, and by their agility and humour made the name well known to English and American theatre-goers. Fred Vokes was a man of real inventiveness as well as rare acrobatic skill.

Crystal Lake Winter Festival set for Jan. 21
CRYSTAL — The third annual Crystal Lake Winter Festival is approaching quickly and looks to feature some new events, as well as original fan favorites, such as the polar plunge.
The polar plunge involves taking a chilly dip into a frozen-over Crystal Lake.
"Last winter's event attracted somewhere between 30 and 50 people," Crystal Township Fire Department Assistant Chief Scott Brundage said. "There's kind of a concern right now that we won't have any ice in late January, but that would be highly unusual."
Brundage said the fire department will cut a hole in the ice about eight feet wide near the public boat launch for people to jump into the lake.
"It's darn cold water. There's no way I could do it," he said. "But those who participate take pledges and the money goes toward purchasing extrication equipment for the fire department. It's a good cause."
Among returning events for the festival scheduled for Jan. 21 is the chili cook-off, which Winter Festival Committee Chairwoman Pam Greenhoe said was a success at the previous festival.
"The chili cook-off has been a hit as we ran out of chili last year," Greenhoe said. "The local businesses provide chili for the public to sample and vote on. A trophy is given to the winner to place in their business for the year. Also, the public can bring their chili in a one quart container for a panel of judges to taste and vote on. A prize is given to the chili with the most votes."
According to Greenhoe, one of the newer events, a soup and sandwich luncheon for a free will offering, will be hosted by the Crystal Lake Community Church.
Greenhoe said she hopes the upcoming festival will be another success for the Crystal area.
"The Crystal Township DDA (Downtown Development Authority) is the sponsor for this event and our goal is to bring life to our community during a slow time of year," she said. "Crystal Lake is a beautiful lake and has much to offer even in the winter months. We promote this event year round and are seeing many cottage owners opening their cottages for the weekend to participate."

Thomas D. Laryea, III, a Tuskegee University Department of Computer Science Graduate, was one of twelve General Dynamics (GD) engineers recognized by US Black Engineer and Information Technology Magazine as "Modern-Day Technology Leaders for 2006," for outstanding leadership and contribution in engineering, science and technology.
Laryea joined General Dynamics Land Systems (a division of GD), as a defense contractor located in Sterling Heights, Michigan, shortly after graduation in 2001. While he has worked on many different projects during his tenure at GDLS, his favorite was co-authoring and developing a graphical testing application that has been used on six different programs for the last three years. "I like to see change," he said. "I like to be able to see the results of what I have done, to be in action. Some of the guys who work here on projects that are a bit more behind the scenes, and it is a bit harder to see exactly how their piece fits in."
He urges those young individuals pursuing careers in science and technology to persevere in their work. He advises, "Don't let barriers get in your way. It just takes time to prove yourself."
Laryea is currently providing technical and software support, primarily to future combat systems programs at GDLS, a massive project seeking to develop an integrated new system of vehicles, weaponry, and other systems for the US Military.
The "Modern Day Technology Leaders for 2006 Award" recognizes African-Americans whose innovations impact entire industries. Recipients were honored during the twentieth annual Black Engineer of the Year Award Conference (Banquet), a renowned gathering of Black technical professions, on Friday, February 17, 2006.
In addition to Laryea, eleven other GD employees were honored to receive this award: Michael Anderson, Phillip Carswell, Cyprians Colbert, Richard Coleman, Thomasine Dade, Ronald Dow, Jr. Kevan Jackson, Burton Jones, Christopher Parks, Andre Perry, and Dontrell Pinder. Laryea was the only engineer from General Dynamics Land Systems to receive this prestigious award.
A native of Chicago, Illinois, Laryea, his wife and two children are residents of Clinton Township, Michigan.

HVAC Design for Green Home
Been trying to find a mechanical engineer who is capable to design an HVAC system for a super air tight and super insulated home:
R-30 walls
R-60 ceiling
Triple Pane Windows
The problem I am encountering is that most HVAC designers don't know how to properly design for an air tight and super insulated home. The home will require and ERV/HRV.
I've been thinking of just doing ductless mini splits in order to avoid the complication of ducts.
Manual J ver 8 is what you would use in the USA.

Celts' struggles, by the numbers
|11.23.09 at 2:37 pm ET
After 14 games, the Celtics are 10-4, comfortably in first place in their division and just one game behind the league leaders (Atlanta, Orlando and Phoenix, who all beat the Celtics in the last 10 days). The Celtics also have the NBA's best point differential at +8.8, and point differential is a more reliable indicator than record.
Despite all that, something seems wrong with the Celtics, who needed overtime to get past a dreadful Knicks team and have lost three of their last five, with all three losses coming against the aforementioned teams with better records. So, what gives?
First, their record and point differential are skewed from the first five games of the season, when the C's ran roughshod over the league and people started seriously considering 72 wins. The Celtics won the next game, 92-90, against Minnesota, but that's when their play started to slip.
Record: 5-0
Point differential: +21.6
Points for: 101.4
Points against: 79.8
Record: 5-4
Point differential: +1.7
Point for: 96.7
Points against: 95
By far the biggest slip in terms of individual offensive numbers belongs to Rasheed Wallace, who made 15 of his first 33 3-point attempts through the first five games and has been 7-for-48 from beyond the arc ever since. Wallace has acknowledged that he's in a slump, but the general consensus is that he is taking good shots and they're just not falling for him. That happens. On the positive side, it has not affected Wallace's defense.
Ray Allen has been a similar 3-point shooting slump, although not nearly as pronounced. Through five games, Allen was 9-for-21. He is 7-for-29 in the last nine. Despite shooting 32 percent from 3-point range, Allen has continued to be a productive offensive player by shooting 57 percent on his 2-point shots (60-for-106).
Digging a little bit deeper, 82games.com has Allen as the Celtics' most productive player in terms of on-court plus/minus with Wallace second, so while their shooting slumps may account for the Celtics' drop offensively, the real issue is a defense that went from giving up less than 80 points a night (a number that is skewed by holding Charlotte to 59 points) to one that is surrendering 95.
After we plow through the numbers on 82games.com, a few things stand out.
The C's defense on jump shots is worse than last year (.433, 48.1 points per game vs. .417, 43.4 points per game) and they are also struggling defending teams at the end of the shot clock compared to last season (.491 compared to .447). This brings up something Doc Rivers said last week:
"Some of our defensive sets have been very good, and then with five seconds left on the clock the guy dribbling the ball gets all the way to the basket and that's not just the guy guarding the ball."
That speaks to effort, fatigue or just plain understanding the defensive system. It's probably safe to rule out effort with this group, and "understanding the system" should work itself out in time, but it does explain Rivers saying that the team was "making stuff up" after the Orlando loss. That leaves fatigue, and it's worth noting that the Celtics' biggest wins during this stretch ' Utah and Golden State ' came after multiple days off.
That, in a nutshell, is what makes people wary about the Celtics come playoff time. The good news is that we are a long way from April, and most teams would love to struggle out of the gate at 10-4. To be sure, there are other issues, particularly a lack of offensive rebounding and fewer trips to the free throw line, but age will continue to be the dominant theme from here on out.

WTHR Blood Drive continues Saturday; donations still needed
The WTHR Blood Drive wrapped up its first day with just over 200 donations Friday. But we still have a long way to go to our goal of 1,000 units.
There's plenty going on this weekend with the Indiana State Fair and many other events, but we hope you take a little time to help us save lives.
During the summer months, blood supplies are critically low and that's why we need you. WTHR is teaming up with the Indiana Blood Center for this blood drive.
As an extra incentive, everyone who donates this weekend can register for a raffle for a four-pack to Holiday World and there will be winners at each location.
But when we say donating blood saves lives, it's serious business. Tami Brechner is evidence of that. She wouldn't be here if it wasn't for your blood donations. Last November, she went into the hospital to give birth to her sixth child. She had complications and needed a lot of blood to stay alive.
"That blood meant life to me. It was so important to me, my six children and my husband and I just can't thank people enough. It's so easy and can mean so much," she said.
Tami didn't know when she went into the hospital that day that she would need blood. We all hope we're never in that situation, but if we are, we want the supply to be there.
If you are able, consider raising your sleeve and give blood this Saturday.
Basic info
Suggested Links
The blood drive is scheduled for Friday, August 2, from 7:00 am to 4:00 pm, and Saturday, August 3, from 8:00 am to 2:00 pm. All eight Indiana Blood Center donor locations will participate.
You can make a difference by scheduling your appointment to donate simply by clicking here. The Indiana Blood Center also accepts "walk-ins" on both days of the blood drive.
The Indiana Blood Center and WTHR thank you for being a donor!

Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life! Contact us, or contact another local humane society, animal shelter or SPCA.
All of our rescues will be spay/neutered prior to adoption, unless they are under 6 months of age or recommended by our vet. All dogs will be micro chipped prior to adoption and come with a care package at the time of adoption
Our application process is as follows:
First an application should be filled out at our website www.boxerbuttsandothermutts.org on the Foster/Adoption Application page. A vet reference check is done to verify all the animals currently in the home are UTD on vaccines as well as Heart Worm Preventatives. A phone interview will be conducted, and the final step is a home check.
Why should you adopt?
Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life! What is the difference between adopting a dog, adopting a cat, adopting a kitten or adopting a puppy versus getting dogs for sale, cats for sale, puppies for sale or kittens for sale from a dog breeder or a cat breeder? When someone is breeding puppies or breeding kittens, they are creating new dogs and cats who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog, cat, puppy or kitten and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale or buy a cat for sale from a puppy breeder or a kitten breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs and cats who must find homes. So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder or buying a cat or kitten for sale from a cat breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog, adopt a cat, adopt a puppy or adopt a kitten at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.

eBook (PDF), 210 Pages
Price: $9.95
Legend has it that far away to the south, beyond the charted waters of Calabria, the Corsair Islands, or even the Spicer Islands, lies an underwater realm. Some tell of fascinating creatures living in perfect harmony. Others tell horror stories of winged creatures of bright plumage and terrible beaks, serving denizens of the ocean that no Calabrese has ever encountered. Still others speak of dreams: murky green seas where water plays with stray sunbeams and a powerful voice calls to them. Mariners speak of huge numbers of ships lost at sea in that region, all of them chasing the legends of the deep. Some legends have their basis in fact. Some are just stories, spun by the Dream-Carver as she calls out to the souls of the land dwellers. Some, of course, are both.

Florida health officials have expressed willingness to resolve a dispute with the U.S. Department of Justice about placement of disabled children in nursing homes.
TALLAHASSEE | Florida health officials have expressed willingness to resolve a dispute with the U.S. Department of Justice about placement of disabled children in nursing homes — but balked at the possibility of federal court oversight.
Attorneys for the state Agency for Health Care Administration, the Department of Health and the Department of Children and Families sent a letter to Washington on Friday that followed up on a Nov. 15 meeting between state and federal officials.
The Department of Justice in September alleged Florida was violating the Americans with Disabilities Act by improperly placing disabled children in nursing homes and threatened legal action. The letter outlined steps the state has already taken or plans to take to improve the system in the Medicaid program, but it said Florida cannot agree to a Department of Justice proposal for federal court oversight through what is known as a "consent decree."
The letter said a consent decree "is the appropriate remedy when a state is in violation of the law. The state of Florida is not in violation of any federal law related to its Medicaid service-delivery system, and it respectfully does not concur with the department's as-yet unsubstantiated allegation that Florida is currently violating federal law."
Also, the letter said the state does not "share the department's position that a federal judge is better able to manage the dynamic needs and operations of the state's Medicaid system."
The details of the closed-door meeting Nov. 15 are not clear. But a day after the meeting, Anne Raish, a civil rights official at the Department of Justice, wrote a letter to state officials that said the meeting involved discussions about the department's investigation, "the systemic violations the department identified during its investigation and a path forward to resolving this matter."
"As we discussed at our meeting, the most expeditious way to protect the rights of the children in and at risk of unnecessary institutionalization in nursing facilities and to ensure that Florida families have a meaningful choice about the services their children receive is through working together towards a mutually agreeable resolution, not through contested litigation," the letter said.
State officials have adamantly rejected the Department of Justice's allegations that Florida is not properly serving the children, who have medically complex conditions such as requiring ventilators or tracheostomy tubes that help them breathe. The Department of Justice argues that the state has not complied with part of the federal law that requires people with disabilities to receive services in the "most integrated setting appropriate" — such as at home with their families or in their communities.
Meanwhile, advocates for the disabled filed a federal lawsuit earlier this year against the state because of the issue.

Re: Cornered!
The idea is ok. The execution leaves much to be desired. It looks great, until you get to the hand. That shape makes no anatomical sense, and detracts from the punchline of the shirt.
I get the feeling you traced a torso, traced a gun, and then slapped a grey blob on there to try and make the two blend together.

I agree with you about the colors from the thumbnail drawing one in. I liked them so I wanted to make sure that I took a closer look. However, I am sorry, but I do have to agree that the invisible horse is throwing me off. I know that it doesn't show one in the thumbnail either, but when I clicked I more than half expected there to be a fence post holding it up.

CLEVELAND -- Kenny Rogers knew the situation and stepped up.
Rogers put on a pitching performance that Detroit desperately needed and the Tigers backed him with four home runs, beating the Cleveland Indians 7-1 Sunday and ending a four-game losing streak.
"I wanted to be the guy to stop it," Rogers said. "That's for sure."
Curtis Granderson led off the game with a homer and Marcus Thames, Carlos Guillen and Ivan Rodriguez later connected as the Tigers averted a four-game sweep. They won for only the sixth time in 19 games since Aug. 7 -- when they held a 10-game lead in the AL Central.
Manager Jim Leyland said that's no reason to alter his patient approach.
"I told the team what they saw today is why I haven't been ranting and raving," Leyland said. "We're not going to panic. What's been happening to us is what happens to every team in baseball. It's noticed more because we're in a pennant race. We're not going to have meetings or all this urgency. It doesn't work that way."
Cleveland had won four in a row overall and eight consecutive at home.
Detroit, with the best record in the majors, has a five-game division lead over Minnesota. After an off-day, the Tigers start a three-game series against New York at Yankee Stadium. That doesn't seem to faze Leyland, either.
"Either we're good enough or we're not," he said. "You have to keep playing. If it's good enough, we'll still be playing in October. If not, we'll go home. We'll find out."
Rogers (14-6) won his third consecutive start, yielding one run and four hits in seven innings.
"Every pitcher knows how much the games mean when you go out there," he said. "This took on added importance with the way we've been playing. I know it's important, but it doesn't make me pitch good."
Rogers struck out three and walked three. The lefty has yielded only three runs over 19 innings during his win streak. The 41-year-old All-Star had been 0-3 with a 6.37 ERA in six second-half starts before topping Texas on Aug. 17 and pitching seven scoreless innings in a win over the White Sox five days later.
The Tigers are 20-7 overall in games started by Rogers this season.
Granderson hit the third pitch of the game from Cliff Lee (10-10) over the wall in right-center for his 13th homer. The rookie came in hitting only .132 (19-for-76) in 23 games in August.
Consecutive one-out singles by Jason Michaels, Travis Hafner and Victor Martinez in the bottom half tied it at 1-1. Rogers allowed only one hit and three walks over the next 6 2/3 innings.
"I got into a groove after the first," Rogers said. "I don't think I made any adjustments. I just got into my pitching."
Granderson doubled to open the third and one out later, Thames -- hitting only .171 (12-for-70) over his previous 24 games -- hit a 418-foot shot to center for his 23rd homer and 3-1 lead.
"I have to figure a way to keep the ball in the ballpark," said Lee, who has yielded a team-high 25 homers in 162 innings.
Brandon Inge doubled to start the fifth and later scored on a sacrifice fly by Craig Monroe.
Guillen hit his 15th homer in the sixth for a 5-1 lead. The infielder is hitting .358 (34-for-95) with eight homers and 34 RBI in 26 games this month.
Rodriguez hit a two-run homer, his 10th, off Edward Mujica to make it 7-1 in the eighth.
Lee fell to 0-4 this season and 3-5 in his career against Detroit. The left-hander allowed five runs and 10 hits over 5 2/3 innings, striking out three without a walk. He is 1-4 with 9.00 ERA over his last eight starts, allowing 60 hits over 46 2/3 innings.
"We had a chance to sweep the Tigers and the reason we didn't is me," Lee said. "It's hard to win when you're giving up a run almost every inning."
- The Tigers have hit 110 homers at Jacobs Field, most by an opponent since the park opened in 1994.
- Rogers is 16-16 with a 5.28 ERA in 55 career appearances, including 32 starts, against Cleveland. He has pitched 233 2/3 innings against the Indians.
- Martinez has hit .337 (29-for-86) with 14 RBI in 23 games in August.
- Hafner went 1-for-3 and is hitting .500 (9-for-18) with two homers and six RBI against Rogers this year.
- After the game, Detroit optioned RHP Colby Lewis to Triple-A Toledo and OF Brent Clevlen to Double-A Erie.

Hi Rich,
How's it going, long time, no speak. Hope all is well with you. Had a look on the KP Events site, but can't see anything. Speak soon, cheers.
All good mate Did Stafford 20 this morning, 2 mins quicker than 2 years ago, 2 hours 2 mins, 10 secs
Pleased as I was just going to go out and run 20 miles on my own 1st thing but couldnt be ar$ed!
Will email you pal with update.
Rich O
Mine is the same. I did an Over 40 PB of approx 38:24 and they have me down as 1:02: something!!!!.my sister is in the same boat. On Kpevents her time is Ok but when you click on the name it takes you to StuWeb.co.uk which is the chip timing company and on there she is down as 1:03omething.
Also I start my stopwatch when I cross the start and finish line and recorded 38:25 but the bloke who I finished just ahead of (I know him cos we got chatting at the end) he is recorded as 38:35 chip time on KPevents but 38:13 chip time on StuWeb!!! I reckon he should have a time of 38:26 chip time -
It looks like the timing is all messed up - even the winners time differs on the two web sites - by 13 seconds!! I have emailed StuWeb to get my time sorted out.
Looks as though something has gone very wrong! I've also e-mailed stuweb and await a reply.
In the mean time I'm having to put up with the Mrs telling me that her time was better! Happy days.
On the plus side, spectators were great and a really friendly atmosphere, and thanks to the chap who opened the top gate, saved me about 1/2 hour getting out of that field!
Corky Tough Guy - who did u email?,,,Kpevents or StuWeb Timing? and which time do you believe
It is a great race but suffers from its popularity. Also KPevents have expanded from 2/3 races per year to about 10 this year. Maybe they are too busy raking in the money and forgetting to get the basics right!....They have introduced chip timing which is great when it works well but cost extra and those costs are of course picked up by the runners. There are too few toilets and the parking is always a pain especially getting away quickly, the rain this year made things a lot worse....moan over
Thanks Corky,
I had my time updated late last night but StuWeb couldn't explain the 14 seconds difference between their time and my stopwatch. I start and stop my watch as I cross the mat so my time should be close to Run Time as shown on StuWeb.....at least the 14 seconds difference is in my favour...I've been given 38:10 as run time .
13 seconds is also the difference between the winners time on StuWeb and Kpevents website - coincidence ?....many others show a difference of 13-20 seconds. Anyway I will my stopwatch as my 'official' time and the time for me to beat for the rest of the year
Just to let you know I originally emailed KP Events then Stuweb as I finished on my Garmin at 41:21 and Stuweb had me down as 41:05, so I'm taking my Garmin as correct.
BTW did you know this year they did not have the UKA licence thing, so your time will not appear on Power of 10, as I submitted it to UKA and they advised me of this, a bummer to all of those including me that PB'd.
Dirk, Power of 10 said the same to me about my pb at Wheaton Aston in December, but it's since appearedso maybe it will change

Codes of conduct for mobile device use in meetings : an exploratory analysis
Meyers, Neville, Gray, Heather L., & Sanzogni, Louis (2009) Codes of conduct for mobile device use in meetings : an exploratory analysis. In Proceedings of the Australian New Zealand Communication Association Conference, Brisbane, pp. 1122-1139.

The present paper addresses the findings of a preliminary investigation into policy and codes of conduct pertaining to the use of laptops and PDA's in business meetings. The purpose of this study was to conduct a review of policies or codes of conduct pertaining to the use of laptops and PDAs in meetings. The investigation included academic literature, policy searches in the public domain of the Internet, as well as personal contact with target industries (large corporations – N=1000 + employees). The results highlight the dearth of policy and codes of conducts pertaining to the use of laptops and PDA's in business meetings. Consequently, given the growing interdependence between mobile technologies and the contemporary workplace, there exists an opportunity for communication professionals to further research and develop policy and codes of conduct in this area. Implications for corporate communication policies and practices are also discussed.

Each Master of Fine Arts (MFA) in Visual Arts student chooses an Artist Mentor whose work or point of view is of particular interest to the student, or who has a special expertise which is of use to the student's work.
During the semester, students are engaged in their creative work in their studios which is over-seen by their Artist Mentor and Faculty Advisor. The student chooses an Artist Mentor whose work or point of view is of particular interest to the student, or who has a special expertise useful for the further development of the student's work. Preferably, the Artist Mentor lives near the student so that periodic critiques and conversations can occur, but other modes of communications, such as the Internet, are possible and may be used if needed. It is each student's responsibility to either choose a Mentor from the program's existing list or to choose and contact a new Artist Mentor who must then be approved by the program.
During the semester, you are expected to meet with your Artist Mentor on a regular basis and devote a minimum of 25 hours per week to your artistic endeavors. While the MFA in Visual Arts is a low-residency program, we consider you a full-time student in the program. The intention of the program is to foster students' ability to work independently with discipline and focus both while enrolled in the MFA program and, especially, after graduation. Students learn to integrate their artistic passion and goals within their lives.

Packaging Girlhood: Rescuing Our Daughters from Marketers' Schemes
by Sharon Lamb, Lyn Mikel Brown
No current Talk conversations about this book.
I read part of this book and skimmed the rest. I read enough to be depressed about how marketing influences girls in our society.
I'm checking out on this one. I wanted to like this book more - but I am struggling to get through it.
The advice seemed very repetitious just a few chapters in. No rocket science here...if you care enough about raising girls to check out this book - then you are probably already on a good path.
I am sort of torn on this book. I really like the information presented and have been reading other books in this same genre. Since I've read a couple of similar books to this in the recent past, I'm pretty sure that's why I found it sort of difficult to read through. It was much drier than the other books.
I do like the information that was presented and agree that the media and large corporations are really messing people up, especially girls. I have started to really notice things more after reading this and others, but that I think can also be attributed to being pregnant. You don't notice a lot of things until it'll somehow effect you.
This book was nice because I think it allows for better dialogue between parents and their children. This particular book has some really good resources and suggestions on how to approach conversations. Overall, I like it although it can have some really tedious sections if you are familiar with the subject.
This book concentrates on the effects of media and pop culture on girls. It specifically analyses how media and consumerism affects what they see, hear, read, and play. It looks at popular movies, songs, books, magazines, and games. This gave it a unique perspective. The goal is to teach girls how to reflect on their world and see how society is affecting them.
The majority of movies and programs girls watch promote gender stereotypes.
Personal Reaction:
I like how it incorporates pop culture into the lives of girls and explains the images and perceptions it feeds to girls and describes the effect this has on them. This book has a lot of great information and statistics.
Classroom Extension Ideas:
1. I would use this book for an "all about me" day where the students are able to share the kinda things they like.
2. I would use this book to teach lessons on stereotypes.
From the preface: "we've been told our world empowers girls by offering them anyting they want, including infinite sights and endless ports of call. In reality, it's a world designed by media and marketing executives that targets children as consumers, channels girls' desires, and entices them into predictable types: 'pretty pink dolls,' 'cute little shoppers,' and 'hott teens'."
Packaging Girlhood covers the influences on girls from roughly ages 3 through 17. The chapters cover shopping (the products available and how they are marketed), TV and film, music, books and extra-curricular activities. The final chapter gives sample conversations for parents when discussing culture with their daughters.
Although I was familiar with a lot of the authors' concerns, and they did repeat themselves quite a bit, I found this to be an extremely interesting and inspiring read. I think what made this book different from others that I've read on this topic is that there was always a psychological POV involved (including what it is about these products that appeals to the girls, but also the psychology of the marketers and of parents). I especially enjoyed the chapter on books, and the literary critique from a psychological approach.
I borrowed this book from the library, but I am ordering my own copy to keep as a reference.
Recommended for: obviously the parents of girls, but also anyone who works with girls, and anyone interested in cultural studies or consumerism. The authors have also written Packaging Boyhood: Saving Our Sons from Superheroes, Slackers, and Other Media Stereotypes.

Winner of the Books for a Better Life Award
Every parent who cares about empowering her daughter should own a copy."
- Rachel Simmons, author of Odd Girl Out: The Hidden Culture of Aggression in Girls
"...a must-read for parents and teachers who want to steer girls away from marketing schemes that distort female power and authority and toward true self-acceptance and authentic empowerment."
-- Polly Young Eisendrath, author of Women and Desire and The Resilient Spirit
The image of girls and girlhood that is being packaged and sold to your daughter isn't pretty in pink. It is stereotypical, demeaning, limiting, and alarming. Girls are besieged by images in the media that encourage accessorizing over academics; sex appeal over sports; fashion over friendship.
Packaging Girlhood exposes these stereotypes and gives you guidance on how to talk with your daughters about these negative images and provides you with tools and information on how to help your girls make more positive choices.

About 6 months ago I had Smartlipo mpx to my face. The sagging fat on my jawline was corrected but left one side irregular and narrow. My question is can fat grafts be used to contour and widen my face to make it symmetrical again?
Can Fat Grafts Be Used to Fix Over-Corrected Smartlipo Results?
Doctor Answers 8
Fat grafts can be used if the tissue is not too scarred.
Fat grafts can be used if there is a good place left in the skin to put the fat. Over treatment with SmartLipo may leave some dermal scarring and make fat grafting more difficult.
Fat grafting is one of the options to improve overcorrection from liposuction
Irregular contours or depressions after liposuction of any kind can often be improved. Fat grafting for larger defects may be the only option but has some limitations and risks that need to be discussed and understood. For smaller problems on the face, I will occassionally use a "filler" to improve facial shape in areas that have had to much fat removed. This is a safe and less invasive method to see if satisfying results are possible. After having the chance to see the potential improvement using a hyaluronic acid filler, fat grafting may then be considered with the hope of creating a more lasting result. Even fat grafting is often not permanent. One final comment - SmartLipo for the neck and submental fat can be very helpful in selected cases but it is rare that fat should be removed from the lower face, smile lines, cheeks, etc. As you age you may regret having this fat removed rather than skillfully repositioned.
Dr. Mosher
Fat grafting after Smartlipo to the face
The simple answer is yes, fat grafting can be used to correct over-removal of fat following liposuction of any type. Fat transfer to the face is an excellent treatment for facial rejuvenation and can certainly help correct defects associated with Smartlipo. I am currently reviewing a textbook completely devoted to fat grafting to the face and body, and the experts in the field agree that it is a worth-while procedure. Find a surgeon who does this regularly and you should do great.

Fat transfer to face after lipo
Fat transfer works very well to smooth irregularities in the face after Smartlipo. I love how the Smartlipo tightens the neck but I actually recomend for perfect results patients plan on a small amount of fat transfer back to the neck afterwards to restore that thin layer of fat under the neck skinthat makes the neck look perfectly natural again. Fat can be injected along the entire jawline again in small amounts with extra in front of and behind any residual jowl. I usually do this on most patients when I do a full face fat transfer and it creates a gorgeous youthful jawline.
Fat grafting can be used to improve over-corrected Smartlipo MPX results
Fat grafts can be used to improve or correct areas in which SmartLipo MPX may have resulted in an irregularity or depression. If the area is small, injectable fillers such as Radiesse, Restylane, Juvederm may also be considered. However, your physician will need to assess the area for scarring and post operative swelling before determining if this is the best treatment in your individual case.

installed new aluminium heads and have oil leak
I just finished putting my Edelbrock e-street 64cc heads on , when I start the engine there is oil coming out between the block and the head , it is on the driver side near the rear of the engine, I checked the intake manifold but don"t feel any oil back there, could the oil be coming out of one of the rear head bolts? can oil come from the head gasket? do I need to re tork the heads they are at 65foot pounds , I wipe the block were the oil is coming from and it just starts coming out from the block in the back of the engine were the head is laying,engine slants down towards the firewall , checked the header bolts they are tight. what should I check check next
Check the valve cover gasket first or the distributor gasket. You won't get oil from a head bolt. You can get water from a head bolt as some go into a water jacket. Thats why you need to use sealer on all the head bolt threads. I have heard (but never seen) head gaskets getting "oil soaked" allowing oil to leak but if they are new gaskets, it's improbable. My thoughts are that the valve cover gasket is leaking.
oil leaks
I used live next to a guy that built 20 circle track cars a year. ..He used to tape over all the oil fill --breather holes then hook up a vacuum source to the dip stick tube then get his stethascope and go around the engine listening for noise from air being sucked in.. ..he would put a dab of rtv where it was noisy and the vacuum would suck it in... too much vacuum would suck it clear thru the hole...just vacuum enough to plug the hole
I checked around the valve cover gaskets I don't see any oil leaking I check all along the valve cover with my finger notning on my finger it looks like it is coming out between the block and head is this possible?
I will have to check again maybe the distributor gasket.?? didn't check that.
Going back to the head bolts, most penetrate the cooling passages and to be safe, all should have been installed with sealant to prevent coolant from working up around the bolt threads. The head bolts, or if using studs, the nut must have a hardened washer between the head and the underside of the bolt head or nut. The washer must be lubricated on both sides prior to tightening the fastener. On the intake, some bolts penetrate into oily sections of the engine and others may penetrate into coolant passages, all must be sealed to cover your contingencies and the underside of the fasteners need to have a hardened washer between them and any aluminum if that's what the intake is made off. Again the hardened washers need to be lubricated on both sides.
Most SBC oil leaks are at the corner fit between the intake manifold, block, and head. There is a lot of movement here from engine heating and cooling cycles. This seal is greatly affected by the dimensional fit of these components. Things that affect the height of the head such as milling or head gasket thickness will affect the seal in this corner. You need to clean this area and carefully look at how the intake is sitting. Felpro sells head to manifold gaskets in varying thicknesses which may be necessary to get the intake positioned correctly, especially if it was ever milled. You also have to carefully watch the valley gaskets where they blend into the manifold gaskets. Many people just gush RTV into this gap and hope for the best. I prefer non-hardening Permatex as the spillage on the engine insides doesn't form into ropes of cured rubber that can get into the oil pan.
Another leaky place is the rocker covers, especially with the older perimeter bolt style.
There is also the possibility that you have a porous casting that's just oozing oil and will have to be replaced.
Also the distributor, there needs to be a gasket between it and the intake.
So your going to have to clean up this area really good and with a bright light and probably a mirror, hunt for the source location of the leak and then determine the cause and fix it.
Did you use gaskets or rtv for the back and front of the intake. If you used gaskets this could be the issue. If you take a mirror you should be able to look at the back of the manifold. It could be running down from the intake to the seam where the head meets the block.
I have seen oil leaks there but it is rare. i would bet on the intake or the oil sender.
Artificial Intelligence is no match for Natural Stupidity
I agree with t-bucket, has to be the intake or oil pressure sender, did you remove the sending unit and not get it properly tightened or did you leave it in place(difficult but not impossible) and somehow hit it causing a crack in the sender or pipe? Also,there is a oil galley plug at that spot in the block under the head surface(top rear drivers corner on a sbc), but it never just starts leaking without being removed and improperly replaced. There is one other thought, the zz4 in my coupe was a factory return that had a leak in the front drivers corner that spewed oil and had a vacuum leak due to an improperly machined deck surface, I had the block decked and solved the problem, It would then also be possible that the head surface is machined improperly, or more probable, something is pinched between the head and deck surface in the rear of the block when the heads were being installed. I worked on a racing crew one summer and the team next to ours scattered an engine after a track tear-down and re thrash when someone got a scotchbrite pad stuck to a head and torqued the head down!! (we won that nite!!)
Last edited by streetrodderbn; 06-15-2009 at 07:01 PM. Reason: thought of another possible conclusion
I used rtv on the front and back of the intake manifold, the oil sender was on the block not the manifold so I just left it alone , i checked the back of the engine near the intake manifold there was a hole were the manifold didn't cover coming up on the block on the drivers side alittle passed the oil sender I put rtv in it to seal it up plus removed the oil dip stick and re sealed it with rtv it was't all the way down.i am giong to let it dry and start tomorrow to see if it is still leaking.i cleaned the head and the intake with alchocol, before i installed it and I put anti seze onthred s and rtv on tops of the bolts torked them to 65 foot lbs . used edelbrock head and intake gaskets.
I found my oil leak it is leaking from my aluminium valve cover on the left back side I tried a thicker cork gasket still leaking removed the cover put rtv all along both sides of the cover and still leaking , maybe the alumnium cover
could be bent but it was ok before the new heads, maybe you need special valve covers for Edelbrock heads? but the other side valve cover is fine not leaking
should I try a different kind of gasket I tried rubber and cork so far. someone told me to use 3M adhesive instead of rtv sealant
The valve covers should work fine on those heads, check and see if its broke at the bolt holes, seen this happen several times from over tightening them. They could be cracked. JMO. Cole
Most aftermarket aluminum valve covers are 'flanged', like the factory covers. In other words, the intake side will have a 'thinner' flange, possibly with 2 'flat' ground spaces to clear the intake manifold.
If the valve cover was installed with the 'exhaust' side 'thick' flange on the intake side, it will cause the valve cover to not 'crush' the gasket enough.
oil leak
i just started up a 350 with a 6-71 super charger, i have the same exact problem, i have been building engines for 30 years and have never had this happen. I have a test stand, so you can see exactly where the oil is coming from. The block and heads have to be machined to almost a mirror finish, no machining lines, if not , the oil from the drain back hole can seep between the block and head, put the old style felpro blue head gaskets on there, and problem solved. i leaned the hard way myself. Hope this helps....

Oil leak
Oh joy I have a 350 with 6-71 blower with oil between block and heads leaking also, great I have to tear it down, I was really hoping someone would have a quick fix, Bummer, thanks all great info
Make sure heads are properly aligned on dowel pins in block and CLEAN so as they can sit flat and seal properly ,you didnt mention ,but i had to use longer head studs from ARPwith my heads ,TRICK FLOW you might not on yours ,also do not use sealer on head bolts or studs ,use oiled hardened washers ONLY with studs .ARP has a goog moly lube also Royal Purple ,Hope this helps also i used fel pro 041 thickness no problems ever.

I'm not experiencing this but am curious to know, for those who have been eating the primal way for a long time (or even a short time) and are experiencing the "Boundless Energy" do you have trouble getting to sleep at night if you have not been able to expend enough of your energy?
No announcement yet.
Any Sleeping Troubles?
new posts
i get about the same about of sleep as i did before going primal...at least in hours. i think the sleep is more sound and rejuvenating, however. i also have ridiculous amounts of energy during the day, which i use to my advantage, which probably helps me sleep better, which gives me more energy...and you get it.
I don't have any problems at night, but I'm an A-1 champion sleeper. I have a desk job, and sometimes during the day I do have to get outside and walk a couple blocks or run up and down my building's stairs to burn off the extra energy.The Primal Holla! Eating fat. Getting lean. Being awesome.
You were sick, but now you're well, and there's work to do. - Kilgore Trout
I sleep the same, but I get up at a ridiculous hour to go to work, so I'm always trying to squeeze another hour out of the day. I've always had a lot of energy, but with primal I don't experience the slumps I used to get midmorning and midafternoon. Things are much more even now. I definitely sleep better and more soundly, but I could also attribute that in part to my increased physical activity. I too work a desk job, but I take a brisk walk at noon, and in the afternoon I and a group of co-workers take a 'smoke break' where we walk a fast mile - wakes me up better than caffine or sugar used to.
I've been doing this about 6 weeks and I've just recently developed problems sleeping. That is very unusual for me as I generally sleep like a rock. But I've been feeling energetic at night and have trouble calming down. I'm hoping it goes away but it happened several times last week and twice this week. It seemed to start when I increased my dietary fat.
I was reading an Anthony Colpo anti-Robb Wolf rant this morning about how low carb diets cause an increase in cortisol. I know low carb advocates say this will go away when the body adjusts and I hope that true. On the bright side, I have much less trouble getting up in the morning and my energy levels seem highest in the morning.

Aug 14, 2013 - The Associated PressTRAVERSE CITY, Mich. -- A federal agency is delaying an independent analysis of a plan to drop legal protections for wolves across most of the nation because of concerns about the selection of experts to conduct the review, an official said Tuesday.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in June called for removing gray wolves across the Lower 48 states from the endangered species list, with an exception for the struggling Mexican wolf in the Southwest. Agency director Dan Ashe said the wolf had recovered to the point that it could thrive and even enlarge its territory without federal oversight, although some advocates and members of Congress said the move was premature.
The law requires that a team of scientists evaluate the basis for such a proposal before a final decision is made. The agency hired a private contractor to select and oversee the peer review panel, which is standard procedure to make sure the analysis meets standards for quality and independence, spokesman Gavin Shire said.
The agency isn't supposed to know who the panelists are, Shire said. But the contractor provided a list of candidates that redacted their names but included their professional resumes, which would have enabled the agency to determine their identity, he said.
"What we're doing now is going back and re-examining the process," Shire said. "We've put everything on hold until we've had time to decide how best to proceed."
The move also came after the contractor notified three scientists who were under consideration that their services wouldn't be required. They were among 16 experts who signed a May 21 letter to Interior Secretary Sally Jewell that challenged a draft version of the gray wolf plan. The letter said the wolf has "just begun to recover in some regions and not at all in others."
Shire said he didn't have the names of the three scientists. But the Center for the Biological Diversity, an advocacy group that favors continued federal protection for wolves, identified them as John Vucetich of Michigan Technological University, Robert Wayne of UCLA, and Roland Kays of North Carolina State University.
"Unfortunately, this is but one example of how the Fish and Wildlife Service has been twisting the scientific process to get the desired political result of no more protections for wolves," said Brett Hartl, the center's endangered species policy director.
Vucetich and Wayne told The Associated Press they had received e-mails from the contractor saying they were being excluded from the review team because they had signed the letter. Kays said he had been "solicited as a possible panelist" but later told he wouldn't be needed.

Barack Obama today told of America's "grave concern" at the suspected chemical weapons attack in Syria which Britain directly blamed on president Bashar al-Assad's regime.
The US president said the incident was "very troublesome" as Russia joined the West and the United Nations in calling for weapons inspectors to be given access to the area outside Damascus where hundreds of people are believed to have been killed.
But Mr Obama also played down what the US could do to stop the bloodshed in Syria where more than 100,000 have been killed in the civil war which has raged for more than two years.
"What we've seen indicates that this is clearly a big event, of grave concern," Mr Obama said in a television interview with CNN.
"There is no doubt that when you start seeing chemical weapons used on a large scale, and again we are still gathering information about this particular event, it's very troublesome."
But he added: "The notion that the US can somehow solve what is a sectarian complex problem inside of Syria sometimes is overstated."
British Foreign Secretary William Hague stressed the "only possible explanation" for the "terrible atrocity" was a chemical weapons attack.
"There is no other plausible explanation for casualties so intense in such a small area on this scale," he said.
"We do believe that this is a chemical attack by the Assad regime on a large scale.
"This is not something that a humane or civilised world can ignore. Our priority is to make sure the world knows the facts of what has happened."
He argued that there was only a "vanishing small" likelihood that Assad's opponents carried out the attack, believed to be with a nerve agent, as previously suggested by Russia.
Mr Hague called for UN weapons inspectors, already in Damascus, to be permitted to visit the site within days, warning that "time is of the essence" to discover if chemical weapons were used.
If Assad refuses to allow that, the UN Security Council would have to "speak more forcibly" to ensure this happened, he added.

Bill O'Reilly Is America's Preeminent Author, Have You Gagged to Death Yet?
Cooking, dining, and book review magazine The New York Times has kindly allowed us to play around with their best sellers list. What a gracious old gray lady? Today we cover the hardcover nonfiction list that will be published this coming Sunday. You have entered the no spin zone as the only author America cares for is Bill O'Reilly, the man is dominating the bestsellers list with three books. What the hell, America?
Holt leads the number of titles in the nonfiction category with three. Crown Archetype, Howard Books, Knopf, and Penguin Press each have two. All other publishers on the list only managed to get one book on the top twenty. Bill O'Reilly and Martin Dugard together have two books on the list. O'Reilly has another work meaning that Bill O'Reilly is responsible for 15 percent of the best sellers. You read that right people. All other authors had one book on the list.
The titles of the books on the list had the following characteristics:

Just be glad it's not the other way around, he could have had 17 out of 20 books on the list, and we are surely headed there, but for now anyways, we're still safe.
