Sept. 23, 1997
No. 7 USC Women's Volleyball Visits No. 6 Washington State, Washington
THIS WEEK -- The USC women's volleyball team (9-0 overall, 2-0 in the Pacific-10 Conference), off to its best start since 1991, embarks on its first Pac-10 road trip of the season when it faces Washington State (14-0, 2-0) on Friday (Sept. 26) in Pullman and Washington (7-4, 2-0) on Saturday (Sept. 27) in Seattle. Both matches are at 7 p.m. All 3 teams are tied for first place in the Pac-10.
RANKINGS -- USC is ranked No. 7 in both the USA Today/AVCA Coaches Top 25 Poll and the Volleyball Magazine Top 20 Poll. Washington State is No. 6 in both polls. Washington is not ranked.
SERIES -- USC leads both schools in the overall series. The Women of Troy enjoy a 15-8 edge over Washington State, though the Cougars defeated USC, 15-11, 15-9, 11-15, 15-11, in the last meeting in Pullman, Wash., on Nov. 9, 1996. USC's last win in the series came on Oct. 11 last year in Los Angeles as the Women of Troy downed the Cougars, 15-9, 15-12, 15-6. Against Washington, USC is 17-8 and has won 3 straight. USC last lost to the Huskies on Sept. 16, 1995, in Seattle, 12-15, 8-15, 15-13, 15-12, 15-9.
NATIONAL AND PAC-10 PLAYER OF THE WEEK -- Junior middle blocker Jasmina Marinkovic was named the AVCA National and Pac-10 Player of the Week on Monday (Sept. 22). Marinkovic performed, literally, error-free in USC's sweeps against Arizona State (Sept. 19) and Arizona (Sept. 20), hitting .767 with 23 kills in 30 attempts and no errors. She also had 1 solo block and 8 block assists in the pair of quick victories. They are Marinkovic's first AVCA and Pac-10 Player of the Week honors of her career. It is USC's second Pac-10 award this season (Jennifer Kessy was honored on Sept. 2) and the 17th for the program.
LAST WEEK -- USC posted a pair of dominant sweeps in its first Pac-10 weekend, defeating Arizona State on Sept. 19, 15-4, 15-3, 15-4, and downing Arizona on Sept. 20, 15-1, 15-4, 15-3. Against the Sun Devils, junior middle blocker Jasmina Marinkovic continued her torrid play with 13 kills on 17 attempts without an error for a match hitting percentage of .765. It was the second-highest hitting percentage in school history (min. 15 attempts). Junior outside hitter Jennifer Kessy was almost as impressive with a match-high 16 kills and 10 digs. The Women of Troy hit a season-high .447 and held the Sun Devils to an opponent low of minus-.014. Against the Wildcats, Marinkovic led another ferocious offensive performance with 10 kills on 13 attempts without an error, good for a percentage of .769. As a team, USC outhit Arizona .446 to .087. Freshman outside hitter Shannon Redfern posted 7 service aces, a USC season high and only 1 shy of USC's record for a 3-game match.
NOTES, MILESTONES, ETC. -- USC allowed only a combined 19 points in its sweeps of Arizona State (15-4, 15-3, 15-4) and Arizona (15-1, 15-4, 15-3), the lowest point total allowed in back-to-back 3-game matches since 1977. The 1977 USC team, which went 38-0 and won the AIAW national championship, downed UC Santa Barbara, 15-1, 15-2, 15-4, on Oct. 20 and followed that by downing Cal State Fullerton, 15-5, 15-2, 15-0, on Oct. 24, for a combined 2-match total of 14 points . . . USC has won its first 9 matches for the first time since 1991, when it opened the season with 11 wins . . . USC is holding opponents to a hitting percentage of .106 . . . Jasmina Marinkovic is currently hitting .562 (115-11-185), averaging less than half an error per game . . . Jennifer Kessy is 10th on USC's all-time attacks list with 2,309. With 900 career kills, she is 5 kills short of moving into 10th all-time on USC's career kills chart . . . Marinkovic is ninth all-time on USC's career blocking list with 315. With 228 career block assists, she is now ninth on USC's career block assist list. Marinkovic also has 878 career kills and is right behind Kessy on that list . . . USC freshman outside hitter Janae Henry made her network television debut recently in a dubious manner. Playing at San Diego State in the final game of a sweep on Sept. 11, Henry ripped a ball that looked like a sure kill. Aztec junior outside hitter Michaela Paz had other ideas, however. Covering the deep right court, Paz stabbed at the ball with her foot (a legal play) and sent the ball into USC's backcourt where it landed safely for a kill. The play made numerous highlight reels, including CNN's, where it was Play of the Day. USC had the last laugh, though, beating the Aztecs in 3 games.
COACH LISA LOVE -- One of the nation's most successful collegiate coaches and a program builder everywhere she has been, Lisa Love has added another title. She has been USC's women's volleyball head coach since 1989 and was named associate athletic director in June of 1991. But leave room on the resume for this: President of the American Volleyball Coaches Association. Her term runs through 1998. Meanwhile, Love, 40, continues her duties as one of the nation's top volleyball coaches as she begins her ninth year as head coach at USC. Love has posted an outstanding 167-81 (.673) record with the Women of Troy and an impressive 366-159 (.697) mark in 15-plus seasons as a collegiate head coach. Love's teams have been nationally ranked in the final Top 20 in 10 of those years and have made 8 NCAA regional appearances and 11 overall NCAA trips. In 1996, Love led USC to a 21-9 record (12-6 in the Pac-10, tied for third) and to the NCAA Regionals for the third consecutive year. USC got to the NCAA Pacific Regional Semifinal, where it fell to eventual NCAA champion Stanford.
JASMINA MARINKOVIC -- One of the nation's top blockers and most exciting players, junior middle blocker and All-American candidate Jasmina Marinkovic has become a major force for USC. The 1996 KAEPA/AVCA All-District 8 and All-Pac-10 first teamer has opened 1997 on fire, hitting a team-high .562 (115-11-185) in 8 matches. She was just named AVCA National and Pac-10 Player of the Week on Monday (Sept. 22) for her flawless performance in USC's sweeps against Arizona State (9/19) and Arizona (9/20). In the 2 matches, she had 23 kills in 30 attempts without an error, good for a hitting percentage of .767. She also had 9 blocks. It is her first AVCA and Pac-10 Player of the Week honor, USC's second Pac-10 Player of the Week honor this year (Jennifer Kessy was the other) and the 17th for the program. Against the Sun Devils Marinkovic had 13 kills in 17 attempts for a percentage of .765, the second-best match hitting percentage in school history (min. 15 attempts). On the year for USC, Marinkovic is second in kills per game (4.26) and blocks per game (1.37). In USC's 3 wins at the GOFF/MSU Classic (8/29-30) at Michigan State, Marinkovic had 41 kills in 77 attacks with only 4 errors, good for a hitting percentage of .481, earning All-Tournament honors. Against Duke (8/30), she went 14-0-26 (.538). After sitting out the Villanova match to rest a sore back, she continued her torrid play against Colorado (9/7) with a line of 22-2-37 (.541). She bettered that against San Diego State (9/11) hitting .609 (17-3-23).
JENNIFER KESSY -- Another standout junior, All-American candidate Jennifer Kessy began her third season as a starting outside hitter with a bang, earning the Pac-10's first Player of the Week honor in 1997. It was the third of her career and is among 17 that USC has won. She leads USC in kills (132), kills per game (4.55) and digs (78). The 1996 All-Pac-10 honorable mention pick earned MVP honors at the GOFF/MSU Classic (8/29-30) with 54 kills in USC's 3 wins. Kessy had 12, 17 and 25 kills, respectively, at the tournament, saving the best for last against then-No. 6 Michigan State. She hit .361 on the weekend with 32 digs and 10 blocks. She posted 18 kills and 14 digs in the win over Colorado (9/7) and had a match-high 16 kills against Arizona State (9/19), hitting a career-high .591 in the match. She has 4 double-doubles in 9 matches. Kessy is 1 of only 2 USC players to win the Player of the Week award 3 times. Former All-American Kelly Kuebler is the other.
JANICE MOUNTS -- A rising star in the Pac-10, junior All-American candidate Janice Mounts is starting at setter for the second consecutive season. She leads USC with 313 assists and an average of 12.52 per game. In her first weekend of action, she garnered All-Tournament honors at the GOFF/MSU Classic (8/29-30) with 121 assists while helping lead USC to the tournament title. She averaged 13.44 assists per game and also had 21 digs and 8 blocks. Her 52 assists against Michigan State (8/30) are a season high. An All-Pac-10 honorable mention selection as a 1996 sophomore, Mounts led the Women of Troy with 1,318 assists and a 13.31 assist average last year, both good for third all-time on USC's season record lists.
ALAINA KIPPS -- After growing as a reserve her freshman and sophomore years, middle blocker Alaina Kipps has stepped into the starting lineup quite smoothly as a 1997 junior. She leads USC with 49 blocks, averaging 1.63 per game. One of USC's steadiest players, she is the only one on the team who has appeared in all 30 games. Kipps was a standout in USC's season-opening weekend with 20 blocks and 21 kills at the GOFF/MSU Classic (8/29-30). She posted a career-high 11 blocks (10 assists) in USC's upset win over Michigan State (8/30) and she posted her first double-figure kill showing with 10 against Duke in a morning match before facing the Spartans. She had a career-high 11 kills and 9 blocks against Colorado (9/7) in the 5-game win and had 9 kills and 6 blocks at San Diego State (9/11). Kipps, who carries a 4.0 GPA, was honored during the Academic Salute at the USC-Washington State football game at the Coliseum (9/13).
ANTOINETTE POLK -- Starting as a redshirt freshman, outside hitter Antoinette Polk is already turning heads. Possibly the most athletic player and best leaper on the team (at 5-10, she can dunk on a regulation basketball hoop), Polk posted her first double-double in only her third career match. She had 11 kills and 14 digs against Michigan State in the finale of the GOFF/MSU Classic (8/29-30). Polk is second on the team with 58 digs and tied for third in kills with 62. She hit a career-high .429 with 8 kills against Arizona (9/20). She had 12 kills and hit .321 against Colorado (9/7) and had 10 kills and 8 digs against Cal State Northridge (9/9). Polk also played basketball last year, seeing time in 9 games and averaging 2.1 points as a guard. She has since decided to concentrate on volleyball.
JEANNE VETTER -- The only senior on the team, Jeanne Vetter has started USC's last 2 matches after serving mainly as a reserve. Vetter started her first match of the year against Arizona State (9/19) and had 6 kills in 7 attempts without an error. She also had 3 aces and 4 assists. Hampered by a nagging shoulder injury, Vetter saw action in only 1 match in USC's opening weekend at the GOFF/MSU Classic (8/29-30), but she made it count. Getting in as a reserve against the Spartans in the title game, Vetter had 8 big digs in the upset win. She played again against Colorado (9/7), providing a spark off the bench with 3 kills and 6 digs, jump starting the Women of Troy like she has so often in her career. She had 7 kills in 8 attempts against Cal State Northridge (9/9), hitting .750.
SARA STEPHEN -- USC's shortest outside hitter at 5-8, junior Sara Stephen is one of the Women of Troy's hardest hitters. As a reserve, Stephen saw time in all 3 of USC's matches at the GOFF/MSU Classic (8/29-30), mainly as a defensive specialist. She had 25 digs in 3 matches (2.5 per game), including 13 vs. Duke and 10 against Michigan State. She is tied for the team lead with 11 service aces, including 4 against Villanova (9/5). She is fifth on the team in digs with 46.
KASHI CORMIER -- True freshman Kashi Cormier, a 2-time USA Youth National team member (1996-97), has seen the most action thus far of any of USC's 7 newcomers, starting USC's 7 first matches at opposite hitter. She has 7 aces, is fourth on the team with 47 digs and has 20 blocks. At the GOFF/MSU Classic (8/29-30), she came up with 25 digs, including 11 in USC's upset of then-No. 6 Michigan State.
FRESHMEN -- Including Cormier, Coach Lisa Love welcomed 7 freshmen to this year's squad. Outside hitters Janae Henry, the 1996 Volleyball Magazine Player of the Year, and Cormier will both compete for time throughout the season. Setter Heidi Munneke, a 2-time All-CIF Southern Section Division IV first team selection in 1995-96, will be Mounts' back-up. The other 4 freshmen, all walk-ons, are defensive specialist Cynthia Corpuz, outside hitters Christine Bohle and Shannon Redfern and middle blocker Sara Peterson. Redfern started her first match of her career against Villanova (9/5), filling in at middle blocker for Jasmina Marinkovic. She came through with 6 kills in 13 attempts and often works her way into Coach Love's rotation. Against Arizona, Redfern had a USC season-high 7 aces, 1 short of tying USC's 3-game match record. Bohle has seen action in 11 games as a backrow specialist. Henry has 14 kills and 17 digs in 9 games as a reserve and Munneke has 63 assists in 6 games. Corpuz and Peterson both played for the first time against Villanova, each seeing action in the final game.
AMBER OLIVER -- Sophomore Amber Oliver, expected to be a major contributor at middle blocker in 1997, will miss the season because of a shoulder injury suffered this spring.
TOUGH SCHEDULE -- As usual, USC faces one of the toughest schedules in the nation, featuring 8 schools that have been ranked in the USA Today/AVCA Top 25: Stanford, Michigan State, Washington State, Washington, Arizona, UCLA, Pepperdine and Colorado. USC also faces 4 teams that received votes in the preseason poll: Duke, San Diego State, Oregon State and Arizona State. USC is 3-0 against ranked teams so far with wins over No. 6 Michigan State, No. 22 Colorado and No. 15 Arizona (rankings at the time of the match).
USC IN THE PAC-10 -- Jasmina Marinkovic leads the Pac-10 in hitting percentage (.562), is seventh in kill average (4.26) and ninth in block average (1.37). Janice Mounts is third in assist average (12.52). Alaina Kipps is fourth in block average (1.63). Jennifer Kessy is fourth in kill average (4.55) and Sara Stephen is third in service aces (0.39). As a team, USC leads the conference in hitting percentage (.329) and service aces (2.07) and is sixth in blocks (3.22) and assists (13.77). The Women of Troy are first in the following defensive categories: blocks (1.53), service aces (0.90), digs (9.50), kills (10.47) and assists (9.33). USC is second in opponent hitting percentage (.106). Kipps' 11 blocks against Michigan State (8/30) are tied for tops in the conference this year.
WASHINGTON STATE -- The Cougars (14-0, 2-0) are the only other undefeated team in the Pac-10 besides USC. Ninth-year coach Cindy Fredrick has a veteran team that includes 6 juniors and 4 seniors. Washington State has run a diversified offense with 3 players with at least 121 kills. Junior outside hitter Jennifer Stinson has a team-high 161 kills, followed by senior middle hitter Keren Oigman's 138 kills and senior outside hitter Shannon Wyckoff's 121. Senior setter Stephanie Papke is averaging 12.90 assists per game. Wyckoff leads the Pac-10 with 1.80 blocks per game and junior outside hitter Jennifer Canevari is second in the conference with 3.54 digs per game.
WASHINGTON -- Seventh-year coach Bill Neville has the Huskies tied atop the Pac-10 with USC and Washington State at 7-4 overall and 2-0 in the conference. The Huskies are led by senior quick hitter Makare Desilets, who has a team-high 160 kills and 73 blocks. Fellow quick hitter Leslie Tuiasosopo is right behind Desilets in both categories with 142 kills and 62 blocks. Senior Michelle Patton and sophomore Angie Coma have split the setting chores with 280 and 270 assists, respectively.
PRESEASON POLLS -- USC was ranked No. 15 in the USA Today/AVCA Coaches Poll and No. 14 in Volleyball Magazine.
PAC-10 PRESEASON COACHES POLL -- 1. Stanford, 2. USC, 3. UCLA, 4. Washington State, 5. Washington, 6. Arizona, 7. Oregon State, 8. California, 9. Oregon, 10. Arizona State.
LOVE NOTES: "Sweeping Arizona State and Arizona was a nice way to start conference play. We had some great performances. For Jasmina Marinkovic to go 2 matches without a hitting error is almost unthinkable. But she doesn't do that alone. It takes good team passing and setting and we are getting that. That said, this weekend's matches at Washington State and Washington will both be battles. Any time you go on the road, it's tough, and in the Pac-10, it's even tougher. I look forward to seeing how our team responds to the challenge."

Colorado Theater Shooting Shocks the Nation
While police are still investigating the motive behind Friday's shooting at a theater in Aurora, Colo., some Christians are convinced of the real source: evil.
"What happened up in Aurora ... was the product of pure evil. It was the result of a depraved individual taking his free will to the extreme," said Jim Daly, president of Focus on the Family, in a statement Friday.
Dr. Albert Mohler, president of The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, also pointed to the moral evil that humans are capable of.

I'm on my second Impreza, the first was a 1999 Outback Sport that was totalled by a new driver that came flying out of her driveway into my passenger-side. Nobody was hurt, but my beloved Subaru was destroyed. Now I'm driving a 2007 Impreza Wagon, a good car but I'm seriously thinking of a 2012 (or 2013) WRX 5-door. Got some decisions to make... the WRX does look good.

Crash leaves Briscoe 'fuzzy'
Page Tools
SYDNEY driver Ryan Briscoe says he has mainly "fuzzy" memories of Sunday's spectacular 320 km/h Indycar crash that wrecked his car and left him in hospital.
Briscoe, 25, received multiple injuries, including two broken collarbones, a bruised lung, concussion and cuts to his legs and arms.
The incident happened on turn three at the Chicagoland Speedway as he moved to pass Alex Barron and Japan's Kosuke Matsuura. The cars of Briscoe and Barron touched wheels, sparking the most dramatic crash of the Australian's open-wheeler career.
The contact sent Briscoe's Toyota hurtling over the top of Barron's car and on to a safety barrier where it split in two and burst into flames.
"I remember the initial contact with Alex and thought that we might just get away with not hitting the wall, but suddenly I was airborne and the rest is a little fuzzy," Briscoe said yesterday.
■ Ford's top two V8 supercar squads Stone Brothers Racing and Triple Eight Racing have been given a multi-million dollar boost by oil company Caltex Australia's decision to increase its sponsorship of the sport.
SBR's number 9 Falcon race car, currently driven by Russell Ingall, will continue to wear the Caltex livery for the 200608 seasons and the company has signed a three-year deal with Triple Eight Race Engineering, whose cars are driven by Craig Lowndes and Steve Ellery.

Blood Orchid is the third adventure of one of Stuart Woods's most engaging characters, Chief of Police Holly Barker. This time out, Holly is trying to get her life back together after the shattering loss of her fiance. With the help of her wily Doberman, Daisy, and her father, Ham, she throws herself back into the job with a vengeance. At a local restaurant, Holly and Ham meet a gentleman new to the area, rich and dapper developer Ed Shrine, who has found an evocative name for both his favorite flower and his latest real estate venture: the "Blood Orchid." But before Holly can settle into her routine again, bullets crash into the home of a friend and a floater is found bobbing in the Intercoastal Waterway. Holly connects these events to the death-by-sniper-fire of two Miami businessmen and a man evading questions at a Federal agency - but she can't imagine how these violent occurrences could be related to her own quiet, unspoiled town of Orchid Beach. Joining forces with a handsome FBI agent, she tracks the clues straight to their source, only to find a scam more lucrative and more dangerous than any this idyllic town - or Holly - has ever seen.

WHITEHOUSE STATION, N.J. AstraZeneca plans to buy Merck & Co.'s interest in several drug products that the two companies developed under a partnership, Merck announced Monday.
The Anglo-Swedish drug maker will pay $647 million for Merck's interest in products other than proton-pump inhibitors, including the hypertension and heart failure drug Atacand (candesartan cilexetil), the hypertension drugs Lexxel (enalapril maleate and felodipine) and Plendil (felodipine) and the Crohn's disease drug Entocort (budesonide), as well as some drugs currently in clinical trials.
AstraZeneca will also have the option to acquire Merck's interest in proton-pump inhibitors, including Nexium (ddd), in 2012 or later.

New U.S. Census Report on Black Voter Turnout Reflects NAACP EffortsMay 09, 2013
NAACP says strong turnout boosted by backlash to voter suppression
(BALTIMORE) — The NAACP responded today to a report by the U.S. Census Bureau on strong voter turnout by Black and Latino communities. The data reflects the NAACP's historic 2012 success in registering and mobilizing voters in response to voter suppression efforts.
"We are pleased to see voter turnout at these levels, particularly because some people did not want it to turn out this way," stated Marvin Randolph, NAACP Senior Vice President for Campaigns. "Last year we saw more attacks on the right to vote—particularly for communities of color— than at any time since the dawn of Jim Crow. But that cynical plan only reminded us that the future of the country is in our hands."
"The NAACP responded by organizing the largest voter registration campaign in our 104-year history," continued Jealous. "We registered hundreds of thousands of people, and mobilized 1.2 million NAACP voters on Election Day. This report is proof that organized people will beat organized money every time."
The NAACP's "This Is My Vote!" campaign helped register approximately 375,000 people for the 2012 elections, and positioned the NAACP to mobilize over 1.2 million people on Election Day – including 536,000 registered NAACP members and activists. The campaign spanned all fifty states and deployed 2,300 volunteers. In Florida alone, the NAACP and partners registered over 100,000 voters – more than the vote margin in that state's presidential race.
According to the Census Bureau report, Blacks voted at a higher rate (66.2 percent) than non-Hispanic Whites (64.1 percent) for the first time since the Bureau started tracking these numbers. The number of black voters in 2012 exceeded the 2008 turnout by 1.7 million, while the number of Latino and Asian voters increased by 1.4 million and 550,000, respectively.
The report, titled "The Diversifying Electorate – Voting Rates by Race and Hispanic Origin in 2012 (and Other Recent Elections)", is based on data from November 2012.
Founded in 1909, the NAACP is the nation's oldest and largest nonpartisan civil rights organization. Its members throughout the United States and the world are the premier advocates for civil rights in their communities. You can read more about the NAACP's work and our five "Game Changer" issue areas here.

"The most sensible diet plan ever? We think it's the one that Michael Pollan outlined a few years ago: "Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants." So we're happy that in his little new book, Food Rules, Pollan offers more common-sense rules for eating: 64 of them, in fact, all thought-provoking and some laugh-out-loud funny." --The Houston Chronicle
" It doesn't get much easier than this. Each page has a simple rule, sometimes with a short explanation, sometimes without, that promotes Pollan's back-to-the-basics-of-food (and-food-enjoyment) philosophy." --The Los Angeles Times

Two Bedouin friends and their camels

Towns and Tourist Sites in
I am often asked for reliable contacts in Wadi Rum. Here are some people on whom you can absolutely count to give you a fair deal and a good tour. They are among the top guides working in Wadi Rum at the moment. It is essential to reserve with them ahead of time in writing at least three days ahead, or they will not be allowed to take you. NB when you call these numbers from INSIDE Jordan, then you leave out the +962 and add a zero before the rest, for instance Attayak Ali's mobile number becomes 0795.899.723.
"The two Attayaks" are both marvellous guys, although in very different ways, and are among the elite of the younger guides. Here you can see them during a "private" camel ride! They do everything, climb, lead hikers, organise camel treks as well as visits in 4x4. During the high season they are in great demand. There are some stories about them both in the "Meet the people" section of this website. I always enjoy their company, they are both great fun!
They used to work together but have recently agreed to split amicably, so you will have to choose between them! They are both excellent guides and are guaranteed to make you enjoy your time in Wadi Rum. They are still close friends, are not in competition, and are among the best of the few guides offering "adventure" trips.
Attayak Ali phone +962.795.899.723 email : email@example.com
Attayak Ali is quieter than his friend Attayak Aouda, painstaking, meticulous, conscientious and utterly trustworthy in every respect. When I am with him I never worry about anything at all! He doesn't guide technical climbing, but is very experienced and very safe with the "Bedouin routes" into the mountains, which he enjoys and appreciates as much as Attayak Aouda does. His hiking programmes are excellent. He has a website at www.bedouinroads.com where you can see the possibilities he offers for visiting Wadi Rum. He works with a small team of Bedouin who guide people on the "easier" tours; they all speak excellent English and they all try very hard to ensure that tourists visiting Wadi Rum with them have a great time.
Attayak Aouda, phone +962.795.834.736 email firstname.lastname@example.com
Attayak Aouda is a highly professional guide, cheerful, extrovert with an inexhaustible fund of anecdotes about himself and about his life in the desert. An evening spent with him at the camp fire tends to be unforgettable. He is completely reliable in every way. He is a specialist in "adventure tourism" but guides everything, including jeep tours and camel treks. He likes to spend as much time as possible on the mountains and in the desert, so it is a good idea to book up early if you want to use his services. He also owns several racing camels which he trains himself - (his camel treks are mostly done with more sedate animals). His website is at www.rumguides.com
Aouda Abdillah is another conscientious guide who prides himself on going personally with his clients. He has a good tourist camp, and can organise any kind of jeep or camel tour. I always enjoy a day in his company. He offers very good value and has a number of "regulars" who come back or who send him clients. He is yet another good fun person! His mobile phone number is 0795.617.902, His website is at http://www.bedouinwhispers.com his email is firstname.lastname@example.com
Zedan al-Zalabieh is a specialist in cheaper tours, and works very largely with backpackers and budget travellers in his "Bedouin Meditation Camp". All tourists receive fair value for the price charged. He does not offer adventure tours, but can arrange camel treks if asked. If your budget does not run to the other guides, Zedan is probably your best choice. His mobile phone number +962 795.506.417 and website www.bedouinmeditationcamp.com
TLast but most certainly not least I highly recommend Salem (on the right) and Saleem Lafi - especially if you enjoy being in fits of laughter most of the day. They are both experienced guides, and Salem also works a good deal with Bedouin Roads and Attayak Ali. The word for them must be "exuberant". They bubble over with fun, but at the same time they know the Bedouin lore as well as their elders, and can unhesitatingly identify prints in the sand or medicinal plants in the mountains.
They have recently opened an official travel agency, with all the necessary papers and listings, and they can organise your trip inside Jordan if you wish. The name of their company is "Jordan Tracks" and you can find full details on their website at www.jordantracks.com email email@example.com. Their phone number is at +962.796.482.801.
Saleem also owns a number of horses and offers riding trips into the desert if you are interested - see the page "On horseback around Wadi Rum".
Sabbagh Ali at http://www.desert-experience.org, email firstname.lastname@example.com phone number is +962.796.819.447. Sabbagh does jeep and camel trips and guides scrambling on the mountains.
Mohammed Hammad at http://www.bedouinguides.com, mobile phone +962.777.359.856. As well as the classic jeep and camel trips, Mohammed is a specialist in the mountains, and offers guided climbing on the technical routes.
Several of these guides have gradually assembled a team of men who work with them. These "secondary" guides all speak excellent English and you need have no worries about visiting Wadi Rum in their company. You will come to the main camp in the evening, where your "primary guide" will be present to check to see that everything is going well. These tours need a fair amount of organisation, and it is not possible for the top guides to be everywhere. However, you are still their responsibility and they, like everybody in their team, want to be sure that you are happy. Some tours are more difficult to guide than others, and it is not often that Attayak Ali, for instance, would be free to guide a simple jeep tour.

After I was done, I notices these loose stitches on the back. What happened???
Thanks for your help.
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
After I was done, I notices these loose stitches on the back. What happened???
Thanks for your help.
Your tension was off. If it's on the back, that means you should check and re-thread your top thread. Usually when I see this, it means my thread caught on something, like the carry handle, and the thread path was impeded.
Peckish aka Peggi
When my machine does that it is usually a tension problem or lent or thread caught under my bobbin case. I hope this helps you.
I have found on my machine I need to pull the thread completely out and start rethreading from the spool down--I don't know why it makes any difference but it seems to, especially on my Bernina.
God Bless,
I am going to assume your machine was sewing just fine before the loose stitching. First rule when something like this happens is to completely unthread the machine (bobbin too) clean the lint out and rethread. Followed by: check tension and change the needle. You might also need to look at the feed dogs and see if there is a bunch of lint packed up in that area (especially under the needle plate).
Well the good news is it should be easy to slip your seam ripper under the stitches to take it out. Re-thread as others have said and sometimes I have found that if the fabric is really dense like batik it can cause problems. I put in a new needle to pierce the fabric better. The thread can also give you trouble if a very sticky fusible is used. Good luck.
I would also use a tearaway or washaway stablizer under the applique project. New threading, new sharp needle (not a universal), and the right stablizer save me a lot of fix it time in the long run. I am still learning to use my machines for applique and do enough stuff that I have to rip out so I try to fix the basics ahead of time. I'm finding the metafil needles and topstitch needles work best depending on my thread. Also have to check for nicks and burs on the throat plate of one machine on occaision --timing got off once and the resulting needle nick caused problems until I emeried it out.
If you had your feed dogs lowered....put them back up. Lowering them changes the upper tension. glenda
also, make sure that you had your presser foot down... although it doesn't really look messy enough for that to have been the issue.

Rallies in support of deposed Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi were held in two Israeli-Arab towns in the Galilee.
About 250 protesters rallied Saturday night in Sakhnin and Kfar Kana, in northern Israel. "The Egyptian people have chosen Morsi and their choice must be honored," said Sheikh Ali Abu Ria, head of the Sakhnin Islamic movement.
Morsi was deposed July 3 by the country's military amid mounting protests against the country's first democratically elected leader.

Bookkeeping: Closing Insituform Technologies (INSU)
I've given her all she's got captain, and I can't give her no more.
This has been our 2nd attempt with Insituform Technologies (INSU) and it has turned out much like the first attempt - not so well. In theory this is a nice way to play stimulus funds to help the nation's sagging water infrastructure (sewers for example) but it appears almost all our stimulus money is going to things that have little to do with actual stimulus. So this thesis has not worked out for us one bit.
I have been mulling cutting this smallish position for a week, and I am just tired of the performance - today's action marks the 8th day out of the past 9 it has been negative. That sounds worse than it is, because it's a slow money stock - not very volatile; so it's more of a grinding torture. The breakout in early December, led to nothing.
We'll take our 6% loss on the 0.6% exposure and go home.

Denver Broncos hold off San Diego Chargers, setting up another AFC title game between Tom Brady and Peyton Manning
|01.12.14 at 7:53 pm ET
The AFC championship that everyone expected is now reality.
Peyton Manning threw short touchdown passes to Demaryius Thomas and Wes Welker to help the Broncos build a 17-0 lead and hold on for a 24-17 win over the San Diego Chargers Sunday at Sports Authority Field in Denver. As a result, Manning and Tom Brady will meet in an AFC championship game for a third time.
Kickoff in the AFC championship at Sports Authority Field in Denver is scheduled for 3 p.m. ET (CBS) next Sunday, followed by the NFC championship between the San Francisco 49ers and Seattle Seahawks in Seattle at 6:30 p.m. ET (FOX). The winners of next weekend's games will meet in Super Bowl XLVIII at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey on Feb. 2.
The two quarterbacks have split their previous two AFC title game encounters, with Brady winning in Jan. 2004 and Manning gaining a measure of revenge with his comeback in Jan. 2007. In both cases, the future hall of fame quarterbacks went on to lead their teams to Super Bowl titles.
"It's about the Broncos versus the Patriots," Manning told CBS' Tracy Wolfson immediately after the game.
Brady and Bill Belichick also defeated Manning in Jan. 2005 in the AFC divisional round, 20-3, en route to winning Super Bowl XXXIX.
This will be the 15th time overall that the two rival quarterbacks have squared off, with Brady leading 10-4. Brady and the Patriots spotted Manning and the Broncos a 24-0 halftime lead at Gillette Stadium on Nov. 24 before Brady and the Patriots engineered a miraculous comeback and a 34-31 overtime win.
Sunday in Denver, Manning was 25-of-36 for 230 yards. He connected for touchdown passes of two yards to Thomas in the first quarter and three yards to Welker in the second quarter to build a 14-0 halftime lead.
As Denver appeared to be going in for another touchdown just before halftime, Manning was intercepted in the back of the end zone his pass bounced off Eric Decker and was picked off by Donald Butler.
Matt Prater's 45-yard field goal put the Broncos up, 17-0, with 9:35 left in the third. The Chargers finally got on the board in the fourth quarter when Philip Rivers found Keenan Allen for the first of two fourth-quarter TD connections.
Denver marched down the field and when Knowshon Moreno went in from three yards out, the Broncos led 24-7 with 8:12 left in the fourth. The Chargers responded with yet another Rivers to Allen TD strike.
After a successful onside kick, the Chargers drove down to the Broncos 12 before settling for Nick Novak's 30-yard field goal with 3:53 left. That made it a one-score game at 24-17.
Facing a third-and-17, Manning found Julius Thomas on a 21-yard sideline pattern to keep the drive alive. Moments later, it was Manning again to Thomas for nine yards on another third down conversion to help salt the game away.

Boehner's key words on jobs
WASHINGTON — House Speaker John Boehner gave a speech Thursday outlining the GOP's ideas for job creation and its prescriptions for the Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction. Allow me to quote two sentences from it.
There was this:
"If we want to create a better environment for job creation, politicians of all stripes can leave the 'my way or the highway' philosophy behind."
And there was also this:
"Tax increases, however, are not a viable option for the Joint Committee."
The juxtaposition of those sentences perfectly encapsulate the past 2 1/2 years of U.S. political history.

text: I was at a car show yesterday and spoke to a tuner who told me that the main CAT's just behind the manifolds, where not that restrictive as compared to a straight tube if you were under 620 hp. That seemed completely contrary to every thing I have heard for years. However he said that he had objective data to prove it from 2 cars he tested. I was told that there was less than 3 hp gained with open pipes but a definite sound increase inside the cabin. Those comments made me wonder. Has anyone else ever done a comparison between the stock CAT's vs an open pipe assuming the rest of the exhaust remains the same?

3. Phosphates
4. Iron
5. Additional questions
|The lithosphere
|Learning Outcomes
|After studying this section, you will know about some of South Africa's mineral resources.
1. South Africa's mineral resources
A MINERAL ORE is a mineral that has enough of a particular element in it to make exploitation of that mineral commercially viable. Africa is exceptionally rich in minerals, and South Africa has extensive deposits of important mineral ores. One distinguishes between PRECIOUS METALS, whic are rare metals with a high monetary value, such as gold , silver and the platinum metals, and the BASE METALS, such as copper, lead, zinc, iron and tin. Both types are extensively mined in South Africa.
South Africa has numerous important mineral resources, notably gold, iron, and phosphates. Apart from this, diamonds, manganese and platinum (to name only three!) are of major importance to the South African economy.
2. Gold
In South Africa gold is mined on the Witwatersrand and in the Northern Free State. Gold mining was the mainstay of South Africa's economy, but dwindling reserves and high production costs have diminished South Africa's reliance on gold. Nevertheless, South Africa holds 35% of the world's gold reserves, and produces around 350 t of pure gold per year, most of which is exported. The gold is found as finely dispersed particles of the free element in sediments known as "auriferous conglomerates" () (known to miners as "reef").
These sediments were laid down about 2.8x109 years ago. At present, the grade of ore that is being mined produces about 4-6 grams of gold for every tonne of ore. South Africa operates the deepest mines in the world ().
The recovery of pure gold from the solid rock involves a variety of engineering, mining, chemical and metallurgical processes.
Note that the gold is being oxidized in the process, going from an oxidation number of 0 to 1+.
Here, the zinc goes from an oxidation number of 0 to 2+. It is oxidized, thus it is a reducing agent. The gold decreases its oxidation number of 1+ to 0, thus it is being reduced.
The resulting sludge is melted down to form impure gold bars. It is then further refined to give gold bars. Silver is a by-product of this refining process.
3. Phosphates
Rocks containing the phosphate anion () are sources for the element phosphorus. This element is indispensible for plants, and thus phosphates are important constituents of fertilisers. Large phosphate deposits are exploited at Phalaborwa, in Mpumalanga. The mineral is "rock phosphate", which is basically a mixture of calcium phosphate and calcium fluoride, Ca3(PO4)2.CaF2, which is converted to superphosphate, a fertilizer, and phosphoric acid, which is converted to ammonium phosphate, another fertilizer. Large quantities of phosphoric acid are exported from Richards Bay.
Phosphorus promotes flowering and seed production in plants. It is made available to plants in the form of the phosphate ions (H2PO4-, HPO42- and PO43-. Commonly, these are supplied as fertilisers made up of SUPERPHOSPHATE (a mixture of calcium phosphate, Ca(H2PO4)2 and calcium sulphate, CaSO4), or TRIPLE SUPERPHOSPHATE (a mixture of calcium phosphate, Ca(H2PO4)2, and calcium fluoride, CaF2).
Superphosphate is produced by the action of sulphuric acid on phosphate rock, Ca3(PO4)2.CaF2. Rock phosphate is unsuitable as a source of phosphate ions to plants as it is very insoluble. Superphosphate is more soluble and thus makes phosphate ions more readily available to plants.
4. Iron
South Africa is the largest producer of iron ore in Africa, which is not only used locally in the steel-making industry, but exported on a large scale (20 Mt in 2003). The mineral is haematite, Fe2O3, which is mined in several places, notably Sishen, in the Northern Cape, and Thabazimbi in the Northern Province.
The extraction of iron from its ore, and its subsequent conversion to steel is carried out as follows:
The iron obtained from a blast furnace is known as "pig iron", and contains 4%-5% carbon, as well as other elements. It is not suitable for most uses, and is converted into other forms:
5. Additional questions
About half of the world's output of diamonds comes from central and southern Africa. Diamond, an allotrope of carbon, is highly prized as a gem, and when polished, high-quality diamonds find their way into jewelry. Lower quality diamonds, the so-called "industrial diamonds", are used in tool-making and other applications that require materials of exceptional hardness.
Diamonds are formed deep in the earth's crust, under conditions of very high pressures and temperatures. They come to the surface through volcanic action, where they may be found in "pipes". Such pipes may be mined directly, but the erosion of ancient pipes cause diamonds to be scattered about and deposited by rivers. These are called "alluvial diamonds". Large operations to harvest alluvial diamonds are under way in Namaqualand and Namibia. Such diamonds are also recovered from the sea-bed.
Manganese, Mn, is used as an alloy with iron in order to make ferro-manganese steels, which are very hard and particularly resistant to abrasion. South Africa has the world's largest known reserves of manganese ore, and produces about 15% of the world's total manganese annually (3.5 Mt)
The so-called PLATINUM GROUP ELEMENTS () are mined near Rustenburg, in the so-called Bushveld Igneous Complex, in the Northern province. Platinum is used in jewelry and as a catalyst for a variety of chemical reactions. In this role, it is used to reduce the emission of carbon monoxide from car exhausts. South Africa has the world's largest known resources of platinum group elements, of which rhodium is the most expensive (ten times more than gold).

Rotors and Pads - R1 or other??
I am going to get new rotors and pads...looking for direct replacements. I am currently looking at the performance cross drilled and slotted rotors from R1 (they have 2 types for the wk, and these are the higher-end ones I cant remember exact name), and get the performance pads for the fronts and the pasi-ceramic pads for the rears. I want to get better performance, mainly for the fronts, and reduce the brake dust mainly for the rears. My rears really give off a lot of dust and I need to change that :)
I am open to suggestions...direct replacement rotors that will have good performance and build quality, with a combo of performance pads and slightly-less dust for rears...or if you know of a good combo pad with performance and dust reduction I am open to that too :D
Thanks JG
Re: Rotors and Pads - R1 or other??
R1 rotors for sure
Re: Rotors and Pads - R1 or other??
and how about pads Mr Scott? I want to get the most performance in the front mainly, but over reduce the brake dust (mainly the rears).
Re: Rotors and Pads - R1 or other??
R1 rotors are in my near future.
I recently read a review on rotors in general online from a race car driver who said that slotted rotors are no good. I can't find the article but he said all you're doing is creating faster pad wear.
It was a really good article because the different style rotors were tested on Le mans cars. I wish I could find the article dammit.
His conclusion was that only cross-drilled is the way to go.
Somebody might counter post with a different opinion. The article I read was a reliable source.
Re: Rotors and Pads - R1 or other??
the higher the performance the pad...the more brake dust you will get. You have to decide if you want performance or less brake dust
Re: Rotors and Pads - R1 or other??
R1 is the be-all-end-all IMHO... they ROCK. I had a set from Steve at R1 and when i finally have the cash, i'll have another set for my SRT. I won't go anywhere near anyone else.
Re: Rotors and Pads - R1 or other??
I read something similar. As I understand it the slots are to shave the rotors to clear any glazing caused by extreme temperatures. Which explains why they would wear the pads faster.
That being said, I have slotted rotors. lol And love them. I have been running Ebc Slotted / Dimpled rotors with Raybestos ceramic pads for a few years now. My OEM rotors warped at 19,000 miles. I've had these ever since, I've gotton about 70,000 miles out of them.(had them cut once and I had to clean them once). This combo seems to work pretty well. Good bite and minimal dust. I had EBC Green Stuff pads for a while but wasn't impressed with them. In the back I have the Raybestos on standard rotors.
Re: Rotors and Pads - R1 or other??
Where did you have them cut and what type machine did they use?
Re: Rotors and Pads - R1 or other??
I don't know the machine. I know a guy. lol I left them by the back door on my way to work and they were sitting by the back door when I stopped by at the end of the day. I don't ask questions.
They probably didn't even need to be cut. More then likely they needed a good cleaning like I did the second time. brake dust deposits in the dimples and slots then heats up and hardens. It kinda looks like welding slag.
Re: Rotors and Pads - R1 or other??
Having raced myself for several years I'll 2nd the slotted rotors no-go comment. Granted generally speaking we're usually using matched set carbon setups, but even when racing on "regular steels" we only used drilled. The thing you need to be wary about is how they are drilled. Having old jo bob do it with a drill press is asking for disaster(90% of Ebay rotors). They need to be cryo treated and drille per a CAD setup to ensure the stresses and heat are dispersed evenly across the rotor. Cheap drilled rotors will show tiny fissures/cracks around the holes after a few thousands miles.
On that note you can cut drilled rotors, just be prepared to buy your buddy a new bit if he isn't very careful. We ended up breaking bits about 20% of the time when cutting them. The trick is to go very slow and shave a very small amount each pass. In general we'd end up doing 5-6 passes(normally you'd do 2) when cutting a relatively flat rotor. If its severly warped you might as well forget it as it would take 2 days to cut and you'd probably go through atleast 2 bits in the process.
Re: Rotors and Pads - R1 or other??
I'm currently using R1's also. Great stuff...big improvement over the stock SRT brakes. Currently running stoptech pads which have been on for over a year now, and they have definitely reduced brake dust over the stockers. :)

When sophomore English major Danielle Goss kept her oven on Oct. 20 while she wasn't using it, she wasn't trying to create a fire hazard — she was trying to cook food while still observing a religious holiday.
Goss and her roommates had been celebrating the Jewish holiday Shemini Atzeret and were following a rule rooted in Jewish tradition that forbids any electric power source to be turned on or off during the holiday.
Thankfully, no one was hurt. Religion is one of the best ways to get people to do really stupid things. I pretty sure that humans did not have electricity over 2.000 years ago.
As a result, they had kept their oven on a very low temperature for the day, allowing them to cook when necessary. But after South Campus Commons officials learned of the practice and conducted inspections of every apartment, they turned off more than 35 stoves and ovens that had been left on unattended.
Can you just turn the oven on if it is gas?
"I was really upset because I was supposed to make two different meals that I'd promised my friends I would bring," Goss said. "And we couldn't cook in our apartment all of a sudden because once the oven was turned off we couldn't turn it back on."
Just eat some damn cereal. This is so silly. You can't turn it on but you can get the food, prepare it, put it in a pan and put in on a burner or open an oven door. All of that is work!
Officials from Capstone, the company that operates South Campus Commons, and students are now struggling to address the problem.
What struggle? Just don't do it. Duh!
"This practice is just too risky," Dennis Passarella-George, the Resident Life Department's assistant director for housing partnerships, said yesterday. "It's a fire hazard to leave your oven and stove on unattended, and we can't have that happen."
Unattended? Where do they go? Walking sounds like more work that pushing a button!
The issue began Oct. 19, when a Commons Building 1 resident complained of smelling gas,
WTF! I thought they were electric. Leaving gas on is really, really stupid.
according to Capstone's Commons director, Gina Brasty. Upon investigation, maintenance workers found the source of the problem — an apartment with its oven and stove on, unattended. After turning the appliances off, officials believed they had solved the isolated incident.
However, a routine inspection of kitchen and bathroom floors in the same building the following day found multiple units also had ovens and stoves left on low power while unattended. This was enough to prompt an emergency check of every Commons unit to see how many residents had been leaving these appliances on.
"At that point we were very concerned for the life safety of our residents," Brasty said. "This threw the entire staff off; we were very concerned and very surprised."
After discovering the 35 unattended ovens and stoves, Capstone management sent an email to all Commons residents the morning of Oct. 20, reminding them to make sure appliances are turned off when not in use.
But for Jewish students observing the slew of holidays that come every fall, keeping appliances on allows them to cook when they otherwise would not be allowed to.
So… Don't cook!
"I think what Commons has to understand … is why so many people had their burners on,"
No they don't. You cant put others at risk and I don't care why.
Goss said. "It's not just people were lazy and didn't turn their burners off; we had a purpose for it. Most everyone who had their burners on had been doing this for a long time, and I think everyone knows what they're doing."
Since the issue arose so suddenly, Resident Life officials began working with Hillel staff members late last week to brainstorm solutions. So far, officials said that little progress has been made but they are actively working toward a solution.
"This is an issue, and we have to manage it," said Cindy Felice, Resident Life's South Campus associate director. "There are solutions to it; we just have to find them."
Yeah – cold food.
"We're going to have to see how we can educate our residents better," said Passarella-George. "I don't know what the answers will be though."
Education! Yes, teach them that religion is a scam and we can all move on.
For now, some students said they will continue to leave their stoves on,
Fuck everyone else! Some old book says I can't push a button. Hey? Is putting out a fire work?

Media campaigns encouraging tobacco users to stop
Last fall the Food and Drug Administration began requiring tobacco industries to incorporate graphic images on all cigarette packs. The requirement, which was part of the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act signed into law by President Barack Obama in June 2009, forces tobacco industries to have the graphic warning labels on at least 50 percent of the cigarette packaging by September 2012.
It turns out the FDA is not the only federal agency using graphic images, as the Centers for Disease Control launched its Tips from Former Smokers Campaign in March and has reported that calls to its quit-smoking hotline have doubled since the ads aired.
The Tips Campaign shares the truth about smoking and the harmful effects of tobacco use through the stories of real people who are currently suffering the effects of their choices. The CDC says that it is using the campaign at the suggestion of the Institute of Medicine, National Cancer Institute and Surgeon General who all recommended that hard-hitting national media campaigns would raise awareness about the dangers of tobacco use and encourage tobacco dependents to quit.
"Although they may be tough to watch, the ads show people living with real, painful consequences from smoking," said CDC Director Thomas R. Frieden, MD, M.P.H. in a press release statement. "For every one person who dies from tobacco, 20 are disabled or disfigured or have a disease that is unpleasant, painful, expensive. There is sound evidence that supports these ads - and, based on the increase in calls to 1-800-QUIT-NOW, we're on our way to helping more smokers quit."
According to the CDC, cigarette smoking is the leading cause of preventable death in the United States accounting for approximately 443,000 deaths in the U.S. each year. The CDC also estimates that tobacco use costs our nation's economy approximately $200 billion each year ($96 billion in health care costs and an additional $97 billion in lost productivity). Because it is a preventable illness, employers and health insurance providers have begun working together to provide incentives for insurance recipients to quit tobacco use if they are currently addicted.
Locally, the city of Dyersburg began working with its employees on July 1 to assist them in stopping their or their dependent's tobacco use. The city also passed a ban on tobacco use in city facilities, vehicles and equipment. Under the new policies city employees will have between July 1 and Dec. 31 to receive aids that will help them eliminate their dependency on tobacco. On Jan. 1, 2013 city employees will be assessed a $5 surcharge on their health care deductions if they are still using tobacco products.
Tobacco dependents that are interested in receiving help can find more information at http://www.smokefree.gov or by calling 1-800-QUIT-NOW.

The Russian connection: See all our coverage | Read about our investigation
Denver, Colorado—Just a quick sketch: Andrew Breitbart is midway through his keynote address at the Colorado 9/12 rally (on 9/13) when he's interruped, loudly, by a middle-aged black man in an orange Broncos hat and a Hawaiian shirt, with a fundamental disagreement: "You Tea Partiers are racist!"
"Go back and watch television and they'll affirm your worldview," says Breitbart.
Breitbart continues his remarks (about ACORN—maybe you've heard of it?) but the focus shifts away from him for a few moments as the dissenter keeps up his charge. He's quickly encircled, but shows no sign of relenting. "You white people out here are splittin' the country up with your hateful views!" Now he's surrounded, by video cameras looking to capture this moment for posterity, and a dozens faces flush with vindication. This is what we're up against; this is what the media never show you; this is the real racist.
To his right, a man and two women are holding hands tightly and bowing their heads; they're praying, out loud, for his soul. A Tea Partier wants to know: "Did your mother teach you to talk like that?" Answer: "Did your mother teach you to be so goddam stupid?" The situation is not defused. Finally, he unleashes a furious: "Why don't you all go down to Mississippi and burn some goddam crosses," and makes his exit. Throughout all of this, a woman is standing just a few feet away from the spectacle, pleading with the crowd not to encourage him. "Don't give him an audience! Don't give him an audience!"
It was a good bit of advice, but also kind of fruitless, considering the audience: Spend more than 10 minutes at a Tea Party rally and you'll find that one of the galvanizing themes, from the slogans ("We surround them"), on down to the speeches (the real bigots are liberals who suggest that Tea Partiers maybe, sometimes, have darker motives) is a constant affirmation of the right-wing worldview. There's an us-against-the-world paranoia there, that ends up casting seemingly harmless figures (Cass Sunstein?) and organizations (ACORN) as certifiable Bond villains* bent on sucking all the happiness and freedom out of the land like so many dementors. And don't even get them started on the light bulbs. If you're an activist who sees a threat to the Republic on every corner, you ignore the crazy counter-demonstrator at your own peril.
So I guess it's more than a little jarring to return from a few weeks in the wilds (note to Verizon guy: I couldn't hear you for, like, a 2,000-mile stretch of Utah) only to discover that the number-one story in America is a senate candidate from Delaware who's going to lose in November by double-digits, but—but—used to dabble in witchcraft back in the '80s. That's not to say Christine O'Donnell doesn't matter, but the odds of her ever having a tangible impact on public policy are pretty slim, so maybe someone, somewhere, might be more deserving of our attention. It's nice to have affirmation that the other side really has gone around the bend—and Lord knows you could build a pretty good case. Sometimes, though, a nut shouting incoherently on the steps is really just that.
*ACORN is SPECTRE in this analogy.

Schizophrenia drug 'stimulates brain activity'
About 1% of the population has schizophrenia
The first study of how a new schizophrenia drug affects key areas of the brain could herald new treatments for the condition which affects 1% of the UK population.
Campaigners say it also adds weight to their calls for newer anti-psychotic drugs to be made more available to patients in the wake of concerns about rationing.
Scientists used brain imaging techniques to track how the drug acted on the prefrontal cortex, which is thought to control human thought processes.
Older schizophrenia drugs have been shown to control some of the thought processes associated with the condition, such as halluncinations and delusions.
But many have side effects, including a Parkinson's disease-like syndrome.
Side effects
Newer drugs like risperidone reduce apathy and social withdrawal, improve patients' ability to think clearly and rarely have severe side effects.
However, until now there have been no studies on humans of how the drugs work on the brain.
In an article in the US magazine, the Proceedings of the National Academy of Science, researchers from the University of Cambridge and the Institute of Psychiatry in London provide the first proof that substituting risperidone for the older drugs increases frontal lobe activity in schizophrenics who were asked to perform a memory-related task.
The researchers also found risperidone was slightly more effective at improving patients' health and memory.
They used functional magnetic resonance imaging, a technique for taking repeated "snapshots" of the brain over time.
These snapshots reveal changes in blood flow and oxygen levels and reflect activity in different parts of the brain.
The researchers believe their findings may open up new avenues for investigation into schizophrenia treatments and will mean doctors will be able to map how different drugs affect an individual's brain.
Cliff Prior, chief executive of the National Schizophrenia Fellowship welcomed the new research and said it boosted calls for newer schizophrenia drugs to be made more available.
The organisation has expressed concerns that the drugs are being rationed by the NHS because they tend to be more expensive than older treatments.
Mr Prior said: "It is encouraging to see research which focuses more on people's quality of life than symptom control alone.
When NICE [the National Institue for Clinical Excellence] evaluates treatments for schizophrenia the views of the real 'experts', people prescribed anti-psychotics, must be the focal point.
"Many people taking older drugs complain of heavy sedation. Given the choice, treatments which cause less of this problem are very welcome."

If one types the name "James Bowman Lindsay" in a search engine, such as Google, several web pages will be found that describe, in somewhat sketchy terms, a lamp Lindsay developed in his hometown in Scotland in 1835. A writeup on Lindsay can be found on this website. A second name, that of Henry Goebel, also can be mentioned. Much patent litigation resulted because of Goebel's claims for developments that started as early as 1854. A writeup about Goebel can also be found on this website. This writer concludes that neither investigator could rightly claim the practical design developed by Edison. A third case that involves two Canadians will be considered here briefly.
So—what precisely did Edison claim in his basic filament and lamp patents? In order to avoid the mistake of assuming that someone invented the practical incandescent lamp before Thomas Edison did, it is necessary to state exactly what the Edison claims were. This can be answered easily by quoting from Howell and Schroeder5:
"That is what Edison invented: a lamp with a high resistance filament of carbon in a vacuum contained in a glass container closed at all points by fusion of the glass and having platinum wires imbedded in the glass to carry current through the glass to the filament. And this was the first incandescent lamp which was suitable for the system of general multiple distribution which solved the problem of the 'sub-division of the electric light.'"Two names of persons who lived in Toronto, Canada can also be found on the internet and the claim is that they, also, preceded Edison in his development. Their story is given below from an article that appeared in Electrical World and Engineer4.
"The story of the invention of the incandescent lamp by the Canadian, Woodward, has recently again been brought forward. A Canadian correspondent writes that some interesting historical data has recently been supplied by Mr. Wright, of the Toronto Electric Light Company, and Mr. Patriarche, of the Electric Maintenance Company, of Toronto, Ont., relative to the original discovery of the principle of incandescent electric lighting. This discovery is claimed to have been made in the City of Toronto, and patented in Canada and the United States prior to the time when a patent was granted to Edison; and, moreover, that the patent for the Canadian discovery was purchased by Mr. Edison at the time when he was making his original investigations and before he obtained his patent. The details of the story are that Henry Woodward, a medical student, and Matthew Evans, a hotelkeeper, of Toronto, were neighbors and frequently experimented together with a large Smee battery and induction coil, of which Woodward was the possessor. While seated at dusk one evening watching the buzzer of the induction coil, the light of the spark at the contact post attracted their attention. It impressed them with the idea that if they could confine the spark in a globe a marvelous invention would be the result. From this beginning, in the early part of 1873, Woodward and Evans worked to perfect the idea, and on August 3, 1874, they were granted a Canadian patent. The first incandescent lamp was constructed at Morrison's brass foundry in Toronto, and was a very crude affair. It consisted of a water gauge glass with a piece of carbon, filed by hand and drilled at each end, for the electrodes, and hermetically sealed at both ends, having a petcock at one end with a brass tube to exhaust the air. Woodward made the mistake of filling the tube or globe of this lamp with nitrogen after having exhausted the air. Prof. Elihu Thomson is quoted as having said that had he stopped when he had the tube exhausted he would have had the honor of being the inventor of the incandescent light as used for commercial purposes. After the invention had been tested a company was formed for the supply of electric lights to the public. Some of the original stockholders had invested capital in the enterprise before having seen the light and when asked to put up more money on the same conditions, declined. Woodward became displeased and left for Europe, and is now said to be residing in London, England. Evans died in Toronto last year. The comment on this story is that the principle of the incandescent lamp dates several decades before the Woodward experiments, and that King, Chanzy, Farmer and others in the twenty years preceding 1860 made and used incandescent lamps much superior to the very imperfect one upon which Woodward's claims are based. Moreover, the Edison claims, as sustained in the courts, were not on the discovery of the principles of the incandescent lamp but on a definite combination of parts—all well known—which resulted in the production of a practical form of the incandescent lamp."
The drawings from Woodward's 1876 United States patent, which are shown above, are almost exactly the same as those that appeared in Woodward and Evan's 1874 Canadian patent. The carbon burner (labelled "B" — Fig. 1, for example) can be seen to differ widely from Edison's filament, which is a most important feature of a practical lamp.
As the 1900 article mentioned4, earlier workers had advanced to the same or higher degree in their work as did Woodward and Evans. To name a few: J. B. A. M. Jobard in 1838, C. de Changy in 1856, John Wellington Starr in 1845 and Joseph Swan in 1860. All these workers contributed, in one way or another, to the eventual development of the incandescent lamp, but it was Thomas Alva Edison who put the necessary ingredients together to make the lamp and system practical.

Oldie but a GREAT one.
A couple wanted to join the church. The pastor told them, "We have a special requirement for new member couples. You must abstain from sex for one whole month."
The couple agreed, but two-and-a-half weeks returned to the church. The wife was crying, and the husband was obviously very depressed. "You are back so
soon. Is there a problem?" the pastor inquired.
"We are ashamed to admit that we did not manage to abstain from sex one whole month," the man replied sadly.
The pastor asked what happened. "Well, the first week was difficult. However, we managed to abstain through willpower. The second week was terrible, but the use of prayer helped us.
"However, the third week was unbearable. We tried cold showers, prayer, reading the Bible, anything to keep our minds off carnal thoughts. But, one afternoon, my wife reached for a can of paint and dropped it. When she bent over to pick it up, I was overcome with lust, and I just had my way with her right then and there. It was lustful, loud, passionate sex. It lasted over an hour, and when we were done, we were both drenched in sweat," admitted the man
The pastor lowered his head and said sternly, "You understand this means you are not welcome in our church."
"We know," said the young man, hanging his head. "We're not welcome at Home Depot, either."
Oldie but a GREAT one.
Oh that's a god one.

HELP!! CEL Chip & Header
I have had a race header with the MIL o2 cheater and my CEL light was not on. I bought a Diablpsport Delta chip and had it on the car for a month, but had problems with the LED on the toggle switch not working (no CEL on), so I sent the chip back. I got a new chip and put it in and now my CEL keeps on coming on reading P0136 (o2 bank 1 sensor 2) I replaced the downstream o2 sensor figuring this might be the problem, but everytime I turn off the light it comes back on shortly after. The chip is tuned to the header. What could be the cause of this CEL light coming on?? I figured the chip and CEL timing might have been coincidental, but now I don't know. Shouldn't a header tune turn off the CEL, not on? and could it possibly mean the MIL o2 cheater went bad? or do you think it is the chip?
What kind of "cheater" do you have????
sounds as though your MIL Eliminator isn't working. Bank 1 Sensor 2 is the 02 Sensor after the Cat.
^^And Bingo was his name-o. I was thiking the same thing.
That's what i was thinking...is it common for the o2 cheaters to go bad?
I dunno. I've never used one. Maybe you just got a bad one?
Cheap ones do...I got mine from New Edge and its been fine for the past 60,000 miles. Although if you have a chip why not just get it burned so it'll turn off the downstream O2 sensor?
Nah....I had it on for about 4 months and it worked fine....the day the light started coming on throwing the o2 sensor code, my battery terminal came loose and shorted my car...when I reconnected the terminal properly, about 20 miles later the CEL came on....I replaced the sensor...still light keeps on coming on...I'm thinkin maybe there is a resister in the o2 cheater that blew or something.
I figured that my chip would eliminate the light as well, but even with the header tune on my chip, my light is coming on.
But i guess it is possible that when my terminal came loose and shorted out my car, is messed up the cheater.
=/ you think I should get a new cheater and see what happens?
That is definately a possibility.

K-Fed Dissatisfied With Britney's Offer of 25 Million
Scrub-A-Dub is not feeling Brit's divorce settlement offer . And he's blaming it on the kids. Lies.
Kevin Federline turned down a $25 million divorce settlement from the "Oops, I Did It Again" singer, according to Star.
At one point, Federline was reportedly looking for $50 million from his estranged wife and the mother of two of his children — but the source insists it's not greed — but love of their kids.
"Kevin says that Britney offered him $10 million to walk away from their marriage and to relinquish custody of their kids, but he just laughed. Then she came back with $20 million which he turned down too," a source told the tab "Now he says she's offering a whopping $25 million, and that's her final offer. He told her to take a hike! He loves his two little boys, and there's no way he's going to disappear from their lives."
Call me cynical but I'm sensing it has more to do with a payday then the two trailer chitlins. I mean, how else is this guy going to earn money? Dressing up as a taco and handing out flyers? Stealing car radios?
