NHTSA: Mass In-Car Alcohol Sensor Deployment is 5 Years Away

Convincing consumers to embrace a device which could raise prices and have false positives is challenging
humanity's favorite social lubricant
, is an ever controversial
research topic
with some
calling it the deadliest drug
, and others pointing to studies that
suggest moderate alcohol consumption enhances learning
(perhaps the real-life version of the "Ballmer curve"). But one thing that most can agree on is that
intoxication and cars are a dangerous mixture
I. NHTSA: Five Years to Commercializing Driver Intoxication Detection
National Highway Traffic Safety Administration
(NHTSA) -- an agency of the
U.S. Department of Transportation
(DoT) -- has been working a coalition of manufacturers (the
Automotive Coalition for Traffic Safety
(ACTS)) to
produce an advanced in-car sensor
that would refuse to start the vehicle if it detects the driver is intoxicated.
The system they're developing is dubbed "
Driver Alcohol Detection System for safety
" (DADSS) -- perhaps a well intentioned play on the nation's largest anti-drunk driving activist organization
Mothers Against Drunk Driving

After nearly $40 USD in federal funding ($5.8M USD in 2008, $2M USD/yr. in 2009-2010, and ~$10M USD in 2011-2013) and five years of progress, that project is approaching the end of its first phase, and a technology demonstration has been promised.
a letter
to the CEO of top automotive manufacturers, NHTSA Chief David Strickland said that significant progress had been made on the private-public collaboration. With two "very, very effective" prototypes from separate OEM partners produced, he believes a commercial product is within reach. On how soon we will see such a device, he comments, "We probably have another five years of work to go. It will be available as an option by manufacturers, and I think it's a real way forward."
II. Motivations
Why build such a device? The motivation is actually surprisingly straightforward.
Government statistics
from 2010 reveal that drunk driving is the number one crime in the country, with 1.4 million driving under the influence (DUI) or driving while intoxicated (DWI) arrests a year. Of fatal car crashes approximately half of the drivers involved were under the influence of alcohol or other psychoactive substances.
To try to curb drunk driving, the government by 2009 had instituted nearly 150,000
in-car interlock systems
] to habitual DUI offenders. An interlock system won't allow a vehicle to start without having the user perform
a breathalyzer test

While functional, interlock systems are far from perfect. First, if a non-drunk passenger (or even companion riding separately) blows into them, they can start the car, even if the driver is drunk. Second, they are too expensive and invasive to deploy to all vehicles.
One solution would be to have a more general alcohol detector that scanned the entire air content of the car, but again this would be problematic as drunk passengers could trigger a false positive. And such a solution would be more expensive, likely, as it would require the detection of smaller quantities of airborne alcohol versus a system that isolates a driver's breath (e.g. the interlock).
From a big picture perspective, the number of people in the U.S. still choosing to drive drunk and being able to do so clearly illustrates that the deterrents to date -- DUI fines, prison time, and in-car prevention systems -- aren't stopping drunk drivers often enough.
II. Show Me The Prototype
The NHTSA/industry program launched in 2008, with $5.8M USD in federal funding. It has
focused on two different emerging technologies
near-infrared (NIR) tissue spectroscopy
and distant breath spectroscopy. The former technique would require the driver to press their finger against a location. Eventually this could perhaps be embedded into the steering wheel. The latter method would be remote, requiring no direct contact as it measures the amount of alcohol in the exhaled breath from a distance. Differentiating between driver and passenger intoxication, though, requires strategic sensor placement, multiple sensors, and filtering algorithms.
After five years Congress is still funding the program, but desires some sort of results. Mr. Strickland has promised a working prototype will be demonstrated by the end of the year. He comments, "A tangible result of that work will be demonstrated later this year, when a research vehicle including both touch-based and breath-based detection technologies is available for further evaluation. I have referred to it as a 'moonshot' for traffic safety with initially long odds but the potential for dramatically powerful results if we are successful."
Working prototypes are expensive, bulky, intrusive, and can yield false positives. (The DADSS "TruTouch" tisue NIR spectroscopy system is shown.)
If the NHTSA and ACTS can pull of a successful demo, they next have to plan out and agree to a path for Phase II -- the path to commercialization. MADD National President Jan Withers praised the progress thus far, stating, "Driver Alcohol Detection System for Safety, DADSS for short, is our hope for the future to ELIMINATE drunk driving."
That said, figuring out a route to commercialization requires many parties -- automakers, insurers, consumers, civil liberties groups, activist groups (e.g. MADD), and the government -- to all agree to a route they can all live with. Balancing often competing interests (e.g. the desire to reduce auto fatalities versus the consumer demand to not have a device that produces false positives or raises vehicle prices) makes this project a "moonshot" indeed. But it'll be interesting to watch what the coalition brings to the table as Phase I concludes.

What does "being an adult" mean?
I've noticed that when people speak of the mindset associated with "being an adult", they are referring to either A) the setting aside of childish ways; or B) a rebellion against the lack of freedom of childhood. Basically opposite approaches: responsible adulthood and irresponsible adulthood.
The A people feel that being an adult means eating healthfully, being financially responsible, dressing to meet the expectations of others, flossing regularly, servicing your vehicle regularly, etc.
Folks who take the B approach feel that adulthood means that you can eat candy for breakfast, drink too much, fail to keep careful track of your finances, stay up late, play hours of video games a day, skip dental cleanings for three years, order the steak instead of the salad, etc. [Note: This isn't to say that these people are irresponsible to the point of being lawless, although that is sometimes the case. It just means that when it comes to actions that have an impact primarily on themselves, they don't always make the "best" long-term choices.]
There are likely a whole host of personality traits and such that can be determined to varying degrees of accuracy based upon a person's answer to this question (even if it's "sorta A and sorta B"): emotional maturity, political party affiliation, age, gender, intro/extroversion, Myers-Briggs personality type, marital status, and so on.
So which type of adult are you?

Want to learn how to set up Amazon niche sites? There's a very simple 5-step formula that you can follow that will guarantee that almost every site you set up will be an online ATM machine!
Before I get into this formula, let me briefly explain why you want to be promoting physical products…
If you go to Amazon's website and browse through all the many different categories, you'll see that they have millions, and tens of millions of products, in EACH category! With that many products to base a niche site on, you're not going to have any problems with finding something that doesn't have a lot of competition.
Another reason you want to be promoting physical products is because the market is HUGE. In 2010 Amazon did $34 billion in sales, and that number is growing exponential each year.
A third reason is that there are a massive number of buying keywords you can target.
The Amazon Niche Site Formula
By following the simple 5-step formula below, there's no reason why you can't start making money online right now from your Amazon niche site. Here's the formula…
1. Pick a Good Product
- Pick something that is popular, that people are already buying online. Don't be afraid of competition
- Pick something that people search for specifically, eg brand, model number
2. Keywords
- You want to pick a keyword with high volume.
- Low SEO competition
- Buying intent. Buying keywords convert extremely well. E.g. buy, code, store, overnight shipping, price, color keywords, price, size keywords
Keyword research is the most important part about building your site.
3. Content
- Use WordPress platform for SEO
- Unique content
- Regular content (Google's Panda update requires it)
4. Backlinking
- Rss aggregators
- Web 2.0 properties
- Bookmarking sites
- Article directories
- Press releases
- Profile links
- Blog networks
Blog networks work extremely well.
5. Good Conversion Tactics
- Stay relevant to your keyword
- Clear call to action above the fold, e.g. "Click Here To…"
- Promote one thing per page
- Don't have Adsense ads on your site
- Get them off your site ASAP
- Test different merchants for best conversions (very important)
Someone that I know that has been making a lot of money with Amazon niche sites is Sara Young. I've known Sara for over a year now and have a lot of respect for her as an Internet marketer.
She's a stay-at-home mom of 7 kids. She is excellent at building little niche sites and is now helping hundreds (if not thousands) of people to make money online.
Recently, we did a live webinar together where she revealed in detail the formula outlined above. You can watch the replay of this webinar by clicking here.
At the end of the webinar, Sara makes a very special offer for those that would like to be mentored until they're making at least $1,000 a month online with their niche sites.
This is extremely valuable content. I encourage you to watch the webinar right now. You'll thank me for it 🙂

Mansfield manager Paul Cox took training as normal this morning ahead of his side's FA Cup clash with Liverpool — and then faced a mad dash to get married.
Cox revealed yesterday he and his partner would tie the knot today but he insists their wedding won't get in the way of Sunday's third-round clash. "I will be training on Friday — football comes first," said Cox yesterday. "Then I will be flying off to get showered and shaved — then straight to the wedding.
"Apparently I agreed to get married if we beat Lincoln in the second round. There will probably be one or two more cameras there now but it's something I will cherish."
Cox is worried one of the biggest games in the Stags' history may be called off because the state of the pitch at the One Call Stadium is causing concern.
Mansfield's Blue Square Bet Premier fixture against Grimsby on Saturday had to be postponed because of a waterlogged pitch and Cox said: "The front page of the newspaper the other day said the New Year is set to be a wash-out, so you start to worry about the Liverpool game.
"Obviously, we want to have a decent surface. It will be a massive game for the club and it such a shame if the weather ruins it for everyone because the players, the chairman and the Mansfield supporters all deserve it."

Why mess with perfection? Jamie Anderson performed a near replica of the run that got her gold at Sochi to win the 2014 Burton US Open women's slopestyle today. Despite snowy conditions and flat light that made it difficult for many of the six women in finals to stomp their tricks, Jamie looked unaffected as she landed her first two runs effortlessly. It was her second run that gave her the highest score of the day, an 87.55.
Jamie Anderson's winning run.
Jamie Anderson's winning run from the Sochi Olympics.
The win is the fourth time Jamie has topped the US Open women's slopestyle podium after taking the first spot in 2007, 2011, and 2012. There was no gold medal but Jamie did pick up $45,ooo for her efforts. She also became the World Snowboard Tour Slopestyle Champion today, edging out Silje Norendal for the title.
Following a hectic Olympic qualifying schedule and post-Sochi media tour, Jamie thought about skipping the Open but had a change of heart. "I almost didn't come for a second and then I thought I have to come support the people that support us," she said. "It's always fun to end the year with a really snowboard driven event. More than anything, after this year with all of us doing the Olympics and a lot of FIS events it's never felt better to come back to the US Open and have that snowboarder energy."
It was a day of redemption for Spencer O'Brien who made finals at Sochi but fell on a backside 720 on both of her runs. Here Spencer picked up second place after landing a line that included a frontside 720 to backside 720 on her last hit. "It was definitely my Achilles heel in Sochi," she said of the backside 720. "I've had that trick for about a year and half now. It's been a little inconsistent for me. I did it at X and obviously not at Sochi, but I just spent the last couple of weeks working really hard on it so I was really stoked to come here and land a run and come away with second."
Spencer O'Brien's second place run.
Isabel Derungs, who placed eighth at Sochi, took third today with run that included back-to-back 720s and a huge backside rodeo 540. "It's definitely one of my favorite tricks," she said of the backside rodeo. "I've got to know the speed for the jump but as soon as I know the speed I can do it on anything."
"Maybe you can give me some pointers," Jamie joked in the press conference afterwards.
Isabel Derung's third place run.
As a testament to the troubles the rest of the women were having on the course 14-year-old Miyabi Onitsuka from Japan came in fourth after falling on the final hit on all three of her runs.
All of the women were thankful for a return to the three run format after the two run FIS format used at Sochi. "All the TTR events and X Games do three runs, which is awesome," Spencer said. "It just gives the riders a chance to put down a safety run and then come out swinging because the pressure's off. And if you don't land your first run there's not as much pressure. It benefits the rider and it benefits the progression."

Hello all,
I have been planning on upgrading for quite some time and thinking about just buying all the parts and building my own again. (My Current PC is a 5 year old Alienware that I won in a competition).
Current setup is
Core2Duo E8400 3.0Ghz (Stunning Processor) - OC'ed to 3.6
EVGA 680i SLI Mobo
4gb DDR2 RAM
Radeon HD5870
I'm looking at upgrading to Ivybridge and going for fairly top spec but I'm wanting advice on the below.
Ivy 3770K - I will definitely get this
Motherboard - Looking for a Z77 chipset - any reccomendations?? I dont need a load of bells and whistles but I would ideally like an UEFI Bios and I may dabble in a bit of overclocking again. I quite liked the ASROCK Z77 boards.
RAM - 8gb DDR3 ram - I think RAM nowerdays is much of a muchness, high speed isn't really worth the cash. Some fairly standard Mushkin dual channel 8GB pair should be ok?
SSD - 160GB Mushkin or a Crucial M4
Graphics Card - I could keep costs down and keep my current Radeon HD5870 as it's still a powerful card. I am considering a Nvidia GeForce 680 though.... thoughts?! I do need to get this PC built by Thursday at the latest, everywhere seems only to have them on pre-order.
Case - Looking for something quiet and with fan controller, something like the Fractal R3 Titanium V2
Power Supply - Any advice on this is great, looking for maybe 650W Gold / Silver standard. Super cheap power supplys are a false economy.
The other thing I need to ask is when will the Ivybridge go on sale, the announcement was on the 23rd but I can't really see anything other than an offhand comment of it being for sale on the 29th. I'm looking to build this PC next week ready for the iseries LAN gaming festival.
Thanks in advance guys (and gals).

U.S. Congressman James Langevin (MPA2, '94) considers Franklin D. Roosevelt his hero and role model. While many prize Roosevelt for his fireside chats and moving speeches during the Depression and World War II, Langevin looks to Roosevelt as a source of strength and perseverance despite his physical disability. Roosevelt never let his disability define him and neither does Langevin.
A stray bullet changed his life forever, but it never took Langevin off course. A cadet in the Boy Scout Explorer program with his sights on a career in law enforcement, Langevin was cut down by a policeman's bullet that ricocheted off a locker in the Warwick, Rhode Island police station and left him paralyzed from the waist down. With his career in law enforcement cut short, sixteen-year old Langevin decided to give something back by being a lawmaker.
While working towards his bachelor's degree, Langevin was also making a name for himself as an elected member of Rhode Island's General Assembly. He proposed a ten-point plan calling for voting reform, which would allow Rhode Islanders to register to vote up to seven days before an election at their neighborhood polling place or local registry of motor vehicles and provide more money to pay poll workers.
Not content to remain rooted in one place for long, however, Langevin decided to make his first bid for statewide office. Launching his run for secretary of state in Rhode Island while a student at the Kennedy School, Langevin beat out three other Democrats in a heated primary race. As the country's youngest-ever secretary of state at the age of 30, he worked to modernize the state's elections by putting new optical scan equipment - one of the most reliable means for counting votes -- in all the polling booths. Langevin knows from personal experience that the new machines are faster and easier to use and is confident they will end long lines at the polls while encouraging more people to vote.
"We made [voting] 100% accessible to people with disabilities. They can do it on their own now, and I hope to bring that model and spread it across the nation," says Langevin. Now in his first term representing Rhode Island's second district in Congress, Langevin is working hard to secure passage of the VOTE Act, which will ensure accessibility and easy-to-use standards in polling places for all Americans.
Langevin says his work on election reform is his way of empowering the public. "I've always believed that government should work for the people, and people should have access to information to make informed decisions."

Hamra Abbas: Wall Hanging I
Hamra Abbas's art installation on the front of the Gardner Museum showed the spectacular silk and gold curtain (kiswa) that covers the door of the Kaaba in Mecca, Islam's holiest and most venerated site. The artist was inspired by a small plaster cast of this object displayed in her mother's house in Lahore, Pakistan. Creating a version of this quintessential Islamic image for her adopted city of Boston, the artist sought to diffuse the prevailing tension between East and West by bringing visitors in contact with the unfamiliar through visual art.
"Last summer," Abbas says, "I found this cheap plaster imitation of the Kaaba door in my mother's house in Lahore. It was hanging askew with a sizable layer of dust, which is not surprising for my mom, where chaos takes another meaning all together. However, it made me take notice of similar happenings in other places, while visiting friends and family and during my interaction with people in public spaces, so eventually I started documenting them. For me these small imperfections reveal the human element that co-exists with the seemingly monolithic ideals of truth and perfection."
Abbas was the third artist invited to create site-specific work for the Gardner façade. The space is devoted to new work by Gardner Museum Artists-in-Residence and changes about every six months. Abbas came to the Gardner as an Artist-in-Residence in 2011.
Hamra Abbas's residency at the Gardner Museum was supported in part by The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts. The Museum receives operating support from the Massachusetts Cultural Council.

Hamra Abbas is an artist with a multimedia practice ranging from painting to sculpture and photography. Born in Kuwait in 1976, Hamra Abbas lives and works in Boston, Massachusetts and Lahore, Pakistan. She received degrees from the National College of Arts, Lahore and the Universität der Künste, Berlin and was awarded the 2011 Abraaj Capital Art Prize and a Jury prize at the Sharjah Biennial 9. She was an Artist-in-Residence at the Gardner Museum in 2011.
Her work has been presented in solo and group exhibitions including MAK (Vienna); Singapore Art Museum (Singapore); Royal Ontario Museum (Toronto); Victoria & Albert Museum (London); Asia Society Museum (New York); ARTIUM de Álava (Vitoria-Gasteiz, Spain); Manchester Art Gallery (England); and REDCAT (Los Angeles). Currently she is being featured at the 2013 deCordova Biennial in Lincoln, Massachusetts.

Tropical Chopped Salad
Long-time readers know how much I respect and admire Melissa and Dallas Hartwig of the Whole30. I was thrilled when they asked me to collaborate with them on the "Meal Maps" that will be included in their soon-to-be-born book It Starts With Food. One of the new recipes I developed is a creamy avocado dressing. I can't share that recipe quite yet, but I can cough up the recipe for a salad it inspired.
Like it or not (and for the record, I don't like it), winter barely arrived in Austin this year, and now it's gone, baby, gone. Our temperatures are hovering in the high '70s. The xeriscaping in our yard is overrun with green things. The air is oppressive with moisture. My hair is a frizz ball — all indications that SXSW will invade Austin soon, and we'll begin the downward slide toward 100+ temps and flip flops. I recognize that to sun worshippers, this all probably sounds like a great idea. But I like chilled air that makes my breath catch, scarves and boots, and cozy evenings with a book. I'm pretty much the anti-Texan, really.
However, the warm weather does inspire me to eat things that are cool, crisp, easy to throw together, and colorful. Here's the one I've been craving ever since we took the photo of the super top-secret avocado dressing.
This salad is perfect for a lazy day when your biggest ambition is to flip over from sunning your front to sunning your back. If you find yourself in a snowsquall, wishing for an island breeze, you can use defrosted, frozen mango in this recipe to import sunshine into your day.
Tropical Chopped Salad
Serves 2-4 | Prep 20 minutes | Whole30 compliant
Ingredients, per person:
1 pound shrimp (any size will do)
1 tablespoon lime juice
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 medium red onion, finely minced (about 1/4 cup)
1/2 teaspoon Jerk Seasoning
1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves, minced (about 1 tablespoon)
1 ripe mango
1 medium ripe avocado
2 medium red bell peppers
salt and ground black pepper, to taste
With a small, sharp knife, pierce the shrimp at the head end and carefully cut along the back toward the tail, removing the dark vein. Rinse in running water. Bring a saucepan of water to boil and add the shrimp. Set a timer for 4 minutes and let the shrimp enjoy the hot tub; no need to bring it to a boil again. When time is up, drain the shrimp and let them cool just until you can handle them without burning your ngertips. Cut them into 1/2-inch pieces.
In a medium bowl, mix the warm shrimp with the lime juice, lemon juice, olive oil, onion, Jerk Seasoning, and cilantro. Let the shrimp marinate while you prep the other ingredients.
While the shrimp is in the flavor spa, dice the mango, avocado, and red pepper into equal-sized dice. I like 1/2-inch cubes. Toss everything together and eat languidly.
Still hungry? Try these
I can hold two conflicting thoughts with equal conviction, and I have no problem with that whatsoever. For example: I generally like people who are...Read More
OMG, that looks so good. I love that flavor combo!
Reminds me of this one, which I just had yesterday: http://paleodietlifestyle.com/shrimp-mango-salad/
Must try it with the cumin and mayo though – since I bought your book I'm totally hooked on homemade mayo, so thank you for that 🙂
I hadn't seen that one! I like mine 'cause it has peppers and cucumbers and CUMIN 😉
Ah yes, your love for cumin really shows through the recipes in the book too 😀 Been using it *a lot* lately.
I'm with you on the weather! Bet this salad would be good with firm grilled salmon filet chunked too.
Yummo. Perfect food for a summer in Sydney, thanks!
WHen I first saw this headline I thought you wrote "Tragical Chopped Salad." I thought….what happened to her chopped salad?!
Now I feel like I need to try to write a story about the Tragical Chopped Salad — maybe a little murder mystery. Who poisoned the salad?!
Do it!
I don't like cilantro, either.
I made your Moroccan Dipping Sauce tonight and was wondering what I should sub for the cilantro…I ended up using chives (it's what I had), but now am wondering what you use in place of it?
Sounds delish!
Am I'm missing where to add the chopped onion though? I don't see it in the instructions.
Also, I'm very very intrigued by the creamy avocado dressing, must I wait til June?!?
I'm with you on the missing winter Mel! But on the bright side, the heating bill was low and more importantly, it looks like homegrown tomatoes will get here sooner! And I'll have to try your beautiful salad with extra cilantro…I love the stuff. 🙂
I am yearning for that avocado dressing and cannot wait to see it! This recipe looks great, esp with Tx Gulf shrimp all over the place right now. Yay!
Have you seen Ball's plastic 8oz jars yet (clear jar with a lime green lid)? You can lock them onto each other for easy storage, and write directly on them. I am pretty sure that I read that they're BPA free too. I've been using them for spice storage and they've transformed my spice cabinet. Wal-mart has them for about $3 for a package of 5.
I will be dreaming of creamy avocado until the recipe is officially released. I am completely obsessed with your homemade mayo and all of the different uses for it. Southwest cumin lime dressing, anyone?
I am in Minneapolis and last week was our first big snowfall. This week it was 55 degrees. Next week it is supposed to be 65. Where is my lovely winter snow?
I just made this and was slightly skeptical because I normally dislike cucumbers and raw onions. I thought it best to trust you and try it…so glad I did. THIS IS DELISH!
I'm so glad you guys like this recipe. I'll see if I can come up with some more Super Simple and crazy-good ones for you!
The weather has warmed up to the high 60s here in rainy Portland, OR and I'm making this salad for dinner – for the second time in two weeks. Bring on the simple summer salads, Mel!
It's getting REALLY warm here, so yeah — maybe I'll start thinking about some more fun salads for the summer. Thanks for the suggestion! Glad you like this recipe.
Oh my word. I just threw this together for dinner tonight and I don't want to share with the rest of my family! It's perfect for a HOT Spanish evening 🙂
Hooray! Glad you enjoyed it. Happy cooking & eating to you!
I will be making this for my husband and myself!!!
I made this with crab and it was amazing! Thanks for staving off the Whole 30 food rut.
Happy Whole30-ing! NO RUTS!!!

Re: Insoluble marbles-in-urn problem?
...I don't believe the hypergeometric distribution is any help at all...
Hi. Just a silly side note.
I mentioned 1 - PDF(...)
I thought we could get rid of the 1-(xxx) by using CDF only.
However, I don't believe this is the case.
The smaller population is question is 1/10th the total size.
If we reverse this logic, and think of the remaining larger population (ie 9/10th of the size)
If we pick 0,1,2,...8 from the Larger population that does not match the specific number, then this results in 2 or more remaining that do match the number.
Hense, the use CDF.
I don/t see why, but it appears we have to add in probability of
having the specific (PDF) of NONE or 0.
612579511 / 1000000000
Using this logic, we can also add all the changes of picking 0-10 from the larger array (CDF), and subtracting the chance of having only 1.
612579511 / 1000000000

Retro and Traditional Nutcrackers Take the Brooklyn Stage
From a burlesque "Nutcracker Rouge" to the more traditional George Balanchine New York City Ballet show, there's no shortage of Nutcrackers in the city this holiday season. And if you head to the Brooklyn Academy of Music (B.A.M.), you won't even have to go into Manhattan to see two very different adaptations of E.T.A. Hoffman's novelette.
Through Sunday, Dec. 19, the Mark Morris Dance Group brings its "The Hard Nut" back to B.A.M. after an eight-year absence. The show is a witty, gender-bending take on the Nutcracker story set to Tchaikovsky's classic score. Scenes feature actors making merry with plenty of booze in the swinging '60s or '70s, all against sets based on designs of the comic book artist Charles Burns.
The company's founder, Mark Morris, created the production in 1990 in Brussels where "The Hard Nut" had its world premier in 1991. This year, Morris, 54, plays a new part. "For years, I played an inebriated party guest in Act I at the party, and I used to dance the beautiful "Arabian Lady" dance," Morris told me the morning of Friday's show. "This year, I've been promoted, I guess, to Dr. Stahlbaum who's the pater familias...My principal role is to back up the beautiful Mrs. Stahlbaum who is played by John Heginbotham."
After "The Hard Nut" leaves the stage on Sunday, the American Ballet Theater (A.B.T.) puts on Alexei Ratmansky's "Nutcracker" at B.A.M. beginning (in previews) on Wednesday, Dec. 22nd. (It has its world premier at the Dec. 22nd evening show.) Ratmansky, who is the former artistic director of the Bolshoi Ballet, joined A.B.T. as "Artist in Residence" in January of 2009. "The Nutcracker" is his first full-length ballet for the company. Richard Hudson, who won a Tony for his stage design for "The Lion King" in 1998, designed new scenery and costumes for Ratmansky's production.
This is only the third time in A.B.T.'s 70-year history that it's performed the Nutcracker. Mikhail Baryshnikov choreographed the company's first "Nutcracker," which received its New York premier in 1977, and A.B.T.'s artistic director, Kevin McKenzie, choreographed the second show in 1993.
"The Hard Nut" plays at B.A.M.'s Howard Gilman Opera House on Dec. 17th and 18th at 7:30 P.M. and 19th at 3 P.M. Tickets start at $25. The A.B.T.'s "Nutcracker" also plays at B.A.M.'s Howard Gilman Opera House from Dec. 22nd to Jan. 2nd. Tickets start at $20.

There's a new romantic comedy coming out called Jewtopia. As far as I can tell from the trailer, it's about two best friends, one who is Jewish and marries a Jewish woman and one who's not Jewish but desperate to marry a Jewish woman so that "he never has to make decisions again" (charming). Jamie-Lynn Sigler (who is actually Jewish) and Jennifer Love Hewitt (who is not) play the respective female leads.

Cover art of Starglider
|Argonaut Software

|1986 (8-bit), 1987 (16-bit)
|Space flight simulator
|Single player
Starglider is a 3D video game released in 1986 by Rainbird. It was developed by Argonaut Software, led by programmer Jez San. The game was inspired by Jez San's love of the 1983 Atari coin-op Star Wars.[1] It is a fast-moving, first-person combat flight simulator, rendered with colourful wireframe vector graphics. The game takes over the surface of the occupied planet Novenia, and it is the player's goal to rid the world of the mechanised Egron invaders. To this end the player is equipped with a high-performance AGAV fighter aircraft, which is armed with lasers and television-guided missiles.
Starglider was originally developed by Argonaut Software for the 16-bit Commodore Amiga and Atari ST machines. Rainbird also commissioned Realtime Games to produce 8-bit versions for the Amstrad CPC, Amstrad PCW, and ZX Spectrum (128k, with a cut-down 48k version without sampled speech or special missions), and also for the IBM-compatible PC running in CGA. Solid Images were commissioned to produce versions for the Commodore 64 and Apple IIGS. Most versions included then-novel sampled speech, from Rainbird employee Clare Edgeley.[1]
The Amiga version is notable of having a title music by Dave Lowe using instrument sounds that were of exceptionally high quality for then prevailing standards (before the age of tracker music). Both ST and Amiga versions also have about 15-second long song - a single sound file - with real vocals and synthesizers. A male voice sings: "Starglider... by Rainbird".
Starglider was packaged with a sci-fi novella by James Follett, describing the game's background story, in which the Egrons effortlessly blitz Novenia despite the planet possessing a previously impenetrable network of utterly deadly defense satellites. The Egrons defeat the system by disguising their battleships as a flock of intergalactic migratory birds, the Stargliders (of the title). The defense satellites had been programmed not to fire on these birds (which migrated between planets regularly) and hence did not recognise the Egron battleships as enemies, allowing the Egrons to reach the surface unopposed. You pilot the only existing example of a prototype fighter craft, initially armed only with lasers, as the TV-guided missiles require an enormous amount of energy to launch and control, which can only be gained by induction as your craft skims over areas with high-tension power conduits.
It was followed in 1988 by the sequel, Starglider 2.
Compute! called Starglider "a visually smooth concoction that is so realistic in its feel that you'll duck and squirm in your seat", especially praising the Atari ST version's graphics and sound.[2] The game won the award for Game Of The Year 1986 in Crash magazine.[3]
Get Fresh
A timed version of Starglider was used for the Get Mucky segment of UK Saturday morning children's TV show Get Fresh. Two contestants played three-minute sessions on the modified game, the winner being the contestant with the highest score.

The history of the Indiana Pacers from Wikipedia.
The Indiana Pacers are a professional basketball team based in Indianapolis, Indiana. They are members of the Central Division in the Eastern Conference of the National Basketball Association (NBA). The Pacers play their home games at Bankers Life Fieldhouse, which they share with their WNBA counterpart, the Indiana Fever, also owned by Herb Simon.
The Pacers began play in 1967 as members of the American Basketball Association (ABA), in which they won three championships and created a dynasty. In 1976, the Pacers moved from the ABA to the NBA. The financial strains from the move led to the ending of the Indiana dynasty and the beginnings of many struggles for the Pacers organization in the subsequent decade. The acquisition of Reggie Miller in 1987 marked the start of a long resurgence for the franchise that peaked with its appearance in the 2000 NBA Finals. The Pacers would miss the 2007 playoffs; not qualifying for the first time since 1997. The team returned to the playoffs in 2011.
In early 1967, a group of six investors (among them attorney Richard Tinkham, John DeVoe, Chuck DeVoe, sports agent Chuck Barnes and Indianapolis Star sports writer Bob Collins) pooled their resources to purchase a franchise in the proposed American Basketball Association.
For their first seven years, they played in the Indiana State Fairgrounds Coliseum, now called the Pepsi Coliseum. In 1974, they moved to the plush new Market Square Arena in downtown Indianapolis, where they stayed for 25 years.
Early in the Pacers' second season, former Indiana Hoosiers standout Bob "Slick" Leonard became the team's head coach, replacing Larry Staverman. Leonard quickly turned the Pacers into a juggernaut. His teams were buoyed by the great play of superstars such as Jimmy Rayl, Mel Daniels, George McGinnis, Bob Netolicky, Rick Mount and Roger Brown. The Pacers were – and ended – as the most successful team in ABA history, winning three ABA Championships in four years. In all, they appeared in the ABA Finals five times in the league's nine-year history: a feat that was never bettered by any other ABA franchise.
The Pacers were one of four ABA teams that joined the NBA in the ABA-NBA merger in 1976. For the 1976–77 season the Pacers were joined in the merged league by the New York Nets, Denver Nuggets and San Antonio Spurs of the ABA. Financially, the Pacers were by far the weakest of the four ABA refugees. Indeed, they were on far weaker financial footing than the team acknowledged to be the last ABA team left out of the expansion, the Kentucky Colonels. However, the Colonels were shut out because the Chicago Bulls owned the NBA rights to the Colonels' best player, Artis Gilmore, and wouldn't have allowed the merger to go through unless the Colonels were left out.

At the request of our users ( Torrent Stream ), and based on the results of the survey and the number of display themes that we saw on this forum ( play online torrents in XBMC ), we have prepared and released a modified version of XBMC, which is integrated with the engine Torrent Stream, which lets you play torrents online, just like any other video and audio files. Download: XBMC for Windows (build from Torrent Stream) How to use: 1. Download provided by our version and install it. Note: If you have already installed the original version of XBMC, then it must be removed before our set. 2. You must have installed the engine TS Engine (bgprocess), version 1.0.5. Being in the assembly VLC 1.1.12 + TS P2P Multimedia Plug-In 1.0.5. If you do not have it installed, you will find and download it, click here: Test! VLC 1.1.12 + TS P2P Multimedia Plug-In 1.0.5 Alpha After the above steps, you can throw in a torrent XBMC, as well as conventional video or audio files to PS We do not plan to do yourself and develop a modification of XBMC, constantly releasing its own assembly how we do it with VLC. This modification is made by us on the eve of release of our API engine (TS Engine), to demonstrate the possibility of easy integration with products like the example of XBMC. We are very nraitsya XBMC, and we are pleased to present to all interested developers the source code of this assembly, as well as render necessary advice to all who want to develop this functionality to XBMC. XBMC - the world's first media center, which has the ability to play torrents online, without waiting for downloads! And later can still get full support in obtaining P2P streams from any videohostigov such as YouTube; Vimeo, etc., as well as the function of P2P Live Streaming, via BitTorrent, which enables you to watch without plugging live broadcast in 720p format, and 1080p. But it is now only depends on the developer XBMC, since all of the tools we have for this offer. For developers: source code made modifications to our code of XBMC (git :/ / github.com / xbmc / xbmc.git), included: patch to commit dbf9263becec1bc7049ad14e86a09308e1553ad9 Download: 0001-torrentstream.patch This is the original version, which we repelled: http://torrentstream.org/downloads/xbmc/xbmc-clear.zip We seem to have used the audit dbf926 on February 16, 2012, this should be seen in this archive (first 6 characters Comita?)

Ask an Eye Doctor and Get an Answer ASAP
Hello,Welcome to Pearl.comNo pink eye does not cause pain. It can cause discomfort in the eyes though. A pink eye becomes painful when there is a corneal involvement or there is iritis ( inflammation of the iris as the cause of pink eye- there is redness, pain, blurred vision, intolerence to bright light).If you have a painful pink eye then it is better to get the eye examined in detail by an ophthalmologist ( for a slit lamp examination) so as to detect the underlying cause and start the treatment.
Please feel free to ask follow up questions if any.
Thank you and best wishes. It was a pleasure to have answered this question. A positive rating is what I aim for and we can continue to interact till you get a satisfactory response.A positive feedback and /or bonus are most welcome and appreciated. Views expressed are for information purpose only and cannot substitute a visit to an ophthalmologist

My grandmother gave me one of my grandfathers Weatherby rifles after his death. I know nothing about firearms but would at least like to know what I was given. I contacted Weatherby for the info but they want $50 to $100 which I'm not interested in doing, call me cheap.
The serial number is 10203 and from that I'm pretty sure it was manufactured in 1958 in South Gate, CA (South Gate, Calif is stamped on the barrel).
It's a .243 caliber which is stamped on the barrel.
The rifle is also in pristine condition with a Weatherby Variable 2X to 7X scope.
Here's what I'd like to know:
Original cost and date of purchase.
Rifles specs. (I probably won't know what they mean but I'd like to know anyways)
Model Name/Number. I've seen Varmint Master, Mark V and Lazermark in my searches. Which one, if any, do I have?
Rifles worth. Now I'm sure no one can tell me this info without seeing the rifle but a ballpark guess would help me determine if I need to call the carrier of my homeowners policy.

Case 1070 tractor with loader for sale in Missouri
I have a Case 1070 tractor with just over 3100 hours on it and that is the correct hours. I bought this tractor in Mt. Vernon Illinois in 1985. YES 1985 and it had 900 hours on it and now has just over 3100 on it. The tractor is 105 hp power shift transmission. I have used it mainly to cut alfalfa hay with a 12 haybine, round bale, and some tillage work. I would say all the hours put on it other than maybe 15 are all mine. It was and is my baby. Right around 2500 hours I broke a piston ring and was going to do just the liners and new pistons and rings. Well that didn't happen as I also had a rough main bearing. So I took the block to Oreilly and had the machine shop turn the crank and clean the block as well as doing the heads. The cam bearings and were also done. Then came the new oil pump, water pump too as well as flywheel resurfaced and clutch. And lets now forget the radiator was boiled out too. If you know a case tractor you are suppose to change the hydraulic filters every other oil change…….well I have always did that too. The tires are probably 90% in the back and 90% in the front.
I put a MILLER loader on it this spring and it has a real heavy duty bucket that goes with it. The bale spike is not part of the deal, as it goes on another tractor, you just get the bucket. This tractor even has the original interior in it………I have not let it sit outside and kept it in the barn. This spring it had a new set of PTO clutches put in at Ruscha Machinery in Aurora. Thad knows me real well and if you want to ask him about this tractor you can call him at 417-498-6571. It also had a spindle bearing put in on one side. The valve covers are leaking and I just haven't had time to tighten or replace them, it does drip oil from them ( I have had to add oil since they are leaking). Up until that happen the engine was clean.
I have decided to slow down and not do as much farm work and I don't need the tractor any longer. Ac leaks down but the compressor is good and so is the receiver dryer. Thad told me he rarely sees a 1070 case tractor this clean anymore. I have kept it good because it is good and reliable and when I needed it I had it. If you want good cheap horsepower with a loader and a cab to feed hay or bale hay come look at this one. I have never felt that fuel consumption was bad either. Not jury rigged and just like I say it is…….after all I have had it 25 years…….wow! It looks just like the pictures show it.
Call me on my cell phone if you want to come look, drive.

Re: Case 1070 tractor with loader for sale in Missouri
Is the 1070 a turbo charged 6 cylinder?
Did a search & found the answer is yes, now I'd like to know the DOM from the serial #, that way I can compair price.
Reason I'm asking is I have a '68 1030, the last "air breather", and found the new Bio-diesel makes it run like new. I like to check out the old Case models.

Detroit Diesel

Pet Support Systems Orthopedic 4 Lb Deluxe Memory Foam Pet Bed for Extra Large Dog, 40 Inch X 35 Inch X 4 Inch, Blue Denim
Only 1 Left In-stock.
Extra Large Dog Beds - XL Orthopedic GEL Memory Foam Pet Bed - 40" X 35" X 4" 100% Made in USA- Best XL Luxury Large Breed, Washable Pet Bed You Can Buy | 4 LB Memory Foam - Puppy Bed Too - Introductory Price
Dog Trainer Recommended - 1000's of Satisfied Dogs and Owners
Why are Pet Support Systems dog beds hands down the best orthopedic dog beds you can buy? Because our pet beds are born from the same research and experience as our high end luxury therapeutic mattresses ($2500 - $5000) sold in luxury retailers across the globe. From the same loving hands of our Southern California craftsman come the world's finest pet beds.
What you should know when purchasing a quality dog bed...
1. Foam - We use only Medical Grade, USA made, certified foam meaning your pet bed will therapeutically support your 4 legged family members 2-3 X's longer than other "orthopedic" dog beds on Amazon. Our true 4 Lb memory foam gently cradles your pet's body, so painful pressure points are eliminated, relieving aches and pains that a weaker or cheaper foam may aggravate. Imported foam often has a strong (sometimes toxic) odor (check our competitors reviews), ours is certified non-toxic.
2. Construction - You are looking at an XL dog bed which means your dog probably weighs a lot. Your dog requires comfort and support and that is why it is necessary to have a 2" HR support layer and 2" memory foam comfort layer. You do not want a 4" all memory foam dog bed (especially imported memory foam that is not really even a 3lb foam). We use a real 4 lb memory foam on top of a truly supportive base foam that will last for years. One feel of our beds and you will recognize the difference.
The result, a scientifically supportive bed for your aging dog, great prevention for your puppies as well.
These are the most supportive and comfortable dog beds made. You will be more than pleased, we promise. Buy With Confidence and A 30 day 100% Satisfaction Guarantee as well as a full 3 year materials warranty.
Features of Extra Large Dog Beds - XL Orthopedic GEL Memory Foam Pet Bed - 40" X 35" X 4" 100% Made in USA- Best XL Luxury Large Breed, Washable Pet Bed You Can Buy | 4 LB Memory Foam - Puppy Bed Too - Introductory Price
- Medical Grade Quality 100% Hypoallergenic 4 inch Certi-Pur Certified Foam Pet Bed. 2 inches of high density NON-TOXIC supportive base foam and a 2 inch (REAL) 4 lb memory foam top (SAME FOAM WE USE FOR OUR $2500 MATTRESSES) for perfect molding support for your large or small aging dog or puppy that you want to protect from future aging issues. NOTE** You do not want a full memory foam dog bed, especially cheap imported foam as it does not provide the orthopedic support your dog needs. A 4" thick bed needs some firm support under the soft memory foam or it is of very little therapeutic value. NOTE 2 *** Remember that your dog's sense of smell is 1000 to 10,000,000 times more sensitive than yours. What do you want your dog sleeping on and smelling? US made certified non-toxic foam or cheap Chinese smelly imported foam?
- Accident Resistant inner lining to protect the foam from absorbing any accidents or bodily fluids from your pet. Pet Support Systems pet beds are made to last and to be as user friendly as possible. Covering our superior foam and inner water resistant lining is a durable 12oz zippered removable denim fabric. Made to be soft and still durable while being design neutral (jeans go with everything, right?). Our denim cover is also made in the US and sewn in our California workshop and made to be easily removed and washed in a machine to keep it as hygienic as the foam it protects.
- Pet Support Systems pet beds are made from 20 years of mattress ingenuity. We have been making ultra luxury therapeutic memory foam dog owner beds for almost 20 years. Every bit of comfort and manufacturing technology that goes into our people beds goes into our pet beds...WHY? Because we don't know how to do it another way. These large handmade dog beds are built in the same workshop with the same materials as our people mattresses and are made to last for years of use just like our mattresses. Most Amazon sellers use cheap Chinese foam that will break down fairly quickly, even though theirs comes back to shape quickly it is not providing the support your dog needs. People can complain, dogs have a difficult time doing that.
- NOTE** For other Colors (tan/Khaki) Please click "Back Support Systems" Link above to see other listings*** Made from high density 4 lb memory foam (none of our competitors use this quality, NONE!) to instantly contour AND support your dogs bone structure and posture to relieve pressure and ease pain from arthritis, hip dysplasia, joint inflammation, and other ailments. Your loved pet will sleep more soundly and experience relief from pain as well. Additionally, our foam is antimicrobial to resist odors, dust mites, mold and bacteria to help maintain a hygienic environment for all.
- Best of all, we are so confident that you and your pet will love this bed that we fully stand behind our products 100% We offer a 30 day 100% satisfaction guarantee and a 3 year manufacturer warranty on materials and workmanship. This is the best XL orthopedic memory foam dog bed that you have ever had if not, then return it with no questions asked.

D.C. United, tied for top of the East, will become the latest team to try to concoct a win in the Oven, where Houston hasn't lost this year.
|Houston Dynamo (4-3-3): Hall; Hainault, Taylor, Boswell, Ashe; Moffat, Camargo, Davis; Boniek Garcia, Bruin, Kandji.
PROBABLE: MF Calen Carr (L hamstring strain); MF Je-Vaughn Watson (L adductor strain)
|D.C. United (4-4-2): Hamid; Russell, McDonald, Jakovic, Woolard; DeLeon, Kitchen, Boskovic, De Rosario; Pontius, Santos.
OUT: MF Lance Rozeboom (L knee ACL tear)
- This is the third meeting between these Eastern Conference foes. Each won its home leg.
- In fact, Houston hasn't lost at home this season, winning four and drawing three at the new BBVA Compass Stadium. The New York Red Bulls are the only other side yet to lose at home in 2012.
- D.C. United added two new investor/operators this week, with Erick Thohir and Jason Levien adding the cash and political experience that, D.C. hopes, will lead to a permanent stadium.
- D.C. is the only team with a head coach (Ben Olsen) and current player (Andy Najar) who were both once MLS Rookie of the Year winners.
- Houston's clean sheet against Sporting Kansas City last weekend marked the Dynamo's first back-to-back shutout since the opening two games of the season.

Kitchen tile install - need advice on the best "wrong" way to do it!
I am helping my father in law install new porcelain tile in his kitchen. Existing floor in the kitchen is vinyl sheet over a concrete slab that is roughly 20 years old. The vinyl is generally glued down pretty tight, but there are sections that you can feel have come up a bit.
I gave my father in law the correct advice that the floor should be pulled up, the concrete substrate should be properly prepared and leveled and then we could lay the tile. But he refuses to pull up the vinyl. He refuses. So we are now going down the wrong path.
He didn't even want to level the floor but I finally won that argument. The floor definitely requires some leveling. My question is whether there is a self leveling compound that is best suited for application over vinyl?
Is there anything else I need to do to the existing floor to prepare it for the tile installation?
Prior owner did the same thing in our hallway
Due to the vinyl adhesion = ZERO = floating floor
Grout started to crack & tiles were loose
I ripped it all up & did it the correct way
Advise him it will be more $$ to install tile twice :yes:
Send me $100 bucks too.....I could use it-
You are preaching to the choir. Would you say that the tile install failure is an inevitability, or just a little more likely?
It's, pretty much, a guarenteed outcome. But, It's also guarenteed that you're not going to win many arguments with the father-in-law. So... "Just smile and wave boys, just smile and wave." Then, when (notice I didn't say, if) you can say, "WOW, you really seemed like you knew what you were talking about, "DAD"."
Now you have something to look forward to.... the day you get to say, "I told you so."
Have fun...:thumbsup:
Yea, that's just whats killing me...I explained that the tile is not going to last very long if we don't do it right and he just kinda shrugged and said well then we'll just re-do it then....WTF!!!??? I don't want to do all this work for nothing!
The odd thing is that he is really handy when it comes to cars, plumbing and electric...he's about 1000x more handy than I am. And he is very meticulous in how he cares for his tools and other belongings....but on this one issue, he is trying to be so amateurish about it...I just don't get it. :huh:
Show him this thread
Lucky if the tile & grout lasts a few months before it cracks
Actually I'd be surprised if it doesn't start cracking within a week
I'll keep you all posted as to what happens.
"gee dad, it seems you think differently on so many other important issues...why the change on this?"
Eh..I wouldnt help with it. Tell him he knows best on most things..but this is just going to turn out wrong and you dont want to be responsible in any way.

(On not stopping the run) "There's not much else to talk about. It's the same thing. It's very simple: force, fill, pursuit. One guy forces the play, the other guy fills the running lane, all the other players pursuit. It's not complicated. We're not able to do it."
"We got a lot of guys who were playing in high school last year. They have no idea what this is like. It's great experience right now that will help us down the road, but I want to win this year. What we're trying to do is force some kids to play the best they possibly can. I just believe there were a lot of good things that took place. It's hard sometimes to see."
"It's a sad situation that has reared its ugly head two weeks in a row - tons of yards, tons of explosive plays - it really tears me up. Some guys played well enough on defense to win, but it is an 11-man effort on each play."
"Darian is a very fine quarterback. He played very, very well. He can see very well. That run for a touchdown was absolutely amazing. That was as good as any NFL highlight you'll see. He's outstanding."

Cam Newton set the fantasy world on fire last year by having the best rookie quarterback season ever. To have somebody play so well that was drafted so late in your fantasy league is what every owner hopes to find. He was the very last pick in one of my leagues last year and helped carry his team to a very good year. Many experts have drawn similarities between Newton and one of the prize rookie quarterbacks this year, Robert Griffin III . I will give you some facts to help you try and figure out exactly what to expect from RG3 and where he might belong in your rankings.
The Washington Redskins traded up to the #2 overall pick to ensure that they could draft the Heisman Trophy winning quarterback out of Baylor. Griffin set or tied 54 Baylor records in his 3 year stint and threw for 10,071 yards and 77 touchdowns in 40 games. He also ran for another 32 touchdowns and only had 17 interceptions and 13 fumbles during that time. Griffin seems like a natural fit for the Redskins West Coast offense with his arm strength, running ability, and field visioin. He has also drawn comparisons to Michael Vick, another running quarterback. Griffin's size is right in the middle of Newton and Vick. In 2010 Michael Vick helped me to a fantasy title because of his running ability. It is obviously too early to forecast a Newton 2011 season or Vick 2010 season, but the running ability of all 3 give them that extra something that fantasy owners crave. Griffin is faster then Newton, but slower then Vick. Will his smaller size make him an easier player to injure?
Head Coach Mike Shanahan has never been a favorite coach of fantasy league players since his days with the Denver Broncos. It seems like every other week he makes a change at the running back position, so none of them make a good consistent starter in fantasy. Once again that will be the case this year with Roy Helu, Tim Hightower, & Evan Royster all threatening to steal carries from each other and take over as the weekly starter. This actually makes Griffin that much more of a threat, especially in the Red Zone. The Redskins also do not have what you would call a great offensive line. With the pass rush from Dallas, Philadelphia, and the Giants to fear in their division alone, I could see Griffin scrambling and running often for his life. He should have some nice running games in store this season.
Did you know that Washington attempted the 4th most passes last year, yet managed only 235.8 yards per game passing?? Now you know why they traded up to finally get their "franchise" quarterback. In fact, since Shanahan has been with the Redskins they have been a top 5 team in passing attempts. They passed on 61.24 % of their plays last year. Of course that was with the likes of John Beck and Rex Grossman, yuck. Griffin was scouted as a better passer then Newton coming out of college. The fear again is that he does not have a great offensive line like what Newton has in Carolina.
It was reported back in late April that Griffin already had the Redskins playbook to get a jump on learning the system and plays. The Redskins made a splash early in free agency to get some speed at the wide receiver position to open things up. They lost Jabar Gaffney to the Patriots but signed Pierre Garcon from the Colts and Josh Morgan from the 49ers. Both players are younger and faster and offer some nice targets for Griffin. Garcon came close to 1,000 yards last year with the likes of Curtis Painter, Dan Orlovsky, and Kerry Collins throwing the ball; He could cross the 1,000 yard mark this year. Santana Moss is back for another year and reportedly lost some excess weight and has looked great so far. Leonard Hankerson is coming back from injury and could fight for a starting spot during the year and has the height to be a factor in the Red Zone. Fred Davis is also a very reliable target at tight end for Griffin to use and could climb the tight end ranks this season.
MyFantasyLeagues.com has Robert Griffin III as the #12 quarterback with an ADP of #70. FFToolbox has RG3 at #17 quarterback with an overall ranking of #153. There is obviously some disagreement between the 2 sites. Which one is right?? A lot of that has to do with the scoring system you play under. I actually have him between the 2 sites around #15 quarterback and I think he will be gone by pick #100 because somebody will try and catch lightning in a bottle like Newton was last year. Will that person be you?

I was checking out a publication that we have floating around the office. The publication is the product catalog for FN Herstal. One of the pistols in the catalog is the HP-SFS pistol.
From what I can tell, it's a new Browning Hi-Power. When the safety is on, the hammer is down on the loaded chamber, but moving the safety to the fire position automatically raises the hammer.
Does anyone have any thoughts on this? Any experience with one of these pistols?
I did a search, but couldn't find the pistol listed on the FN website, although I did find it on a bunch of online dealer websites though...
http://www.ronnysweapons.com/itmidx24.htm seemed to have the best selection.
QK, or P95...I was wondering if either of you might be able to dig up a cut away photo, I'm wondering, as an engineer, how the mechanism works...

With 60 pages of dialogue to memorize each week for her role as Sam McCall on "General Hospital," Kelly Monaco doesn't have as much time as she'd like to rehearse for "Dancing with the Stars: All Stars."
"We're coming up with the 50th year anniversary of 'General Hospital'.... so they're cramming a lot of material [in]," Kelly told AccessHollywood.com's Laura Saltman on Friday, as the soap star rehearsed with partner Val Chmerkovskiy.
PLAY IT NOW: Is Kelly Monaco Ready To Be Judged On Dancing With The Stars: All-Stars?
Originally, there were plans to lighten Kelly's load at work, but the impending departure of beloved "GH" star Steve Burton, who plays Sam's husband (although they're divorcing on the show), Jason Morgan, has meant more material.
"They're wrapping up a nine-year relationship," Kelly said.
VIEW THE PHOTOS: General Hospital Beauty Kelly Monaco
Steve, who plays lethal killer Jason on the show, is moving with his family to Tennessee after more than two decades on "GH," and Kelly doesn't even want to think about her co-star leaving.
"Man, I haven't even been able to cross that bridge yet. I don't like goodbyes," she said. "I'd like to think that he's just gonna take a little vacation and come back. I know it might be wishful thinking."
Kelly has an inkling of how Jason will exit Port Charles, and she said it's likely to be "pretty dramatic."
VIEW THE PHOTOS: Dancing's Val Chmerkovskiy
As she pulls double duty (leaving very little time for sleep), Kelly's feet, luckily, seem to be going strong. She admitted she has just a few blisters (during her first season her feet were left bloodied) to speak of. But, the same can't be said for Val, who has a stress fracture in his left foot.
The pair's first dance in a little over a week will be the cha cha, a dance Kelly never learned on her shorter, original "DWTS" run.

"There are at least half these dances that I've never done before," she said.
Despite the steep learning curve for Kelly, Val said she is doing very, very well.
"She's very good, she's very talented and seven years ago she did a great job - clearly. She won. But this season she's going to do an even better job and it's going to be incredible," he said.
"Dancing with the Stars: All Stars" premieres Monday, September 24 at 8/7c on ABC.

WOW. Been awhile since I stopped by this forum and was surprised this old post was still going.
Had a slight switch in "hobby's" this summer. The wifey and I bought a new Arctic Cat TRV 650H1 atv. SO spending priorities and overall "quality time" focus has shifted a bit. (my old dirt bike/snomobile days came flooding back to reality and I'd forgotten how much FUN riding was.)
I also became a US Citizen in September. Started the process in February, so needless to say it's been a busy year.
UPDATE: Switched to WOLF ammo and believe it or not the BERSA likes it. Fewer FTF's. and overall accuracy seems better. The wifey's been shooting at the 5-7 yrd range and is happy with her "shots"
She did have the "imfamous" Bersa spring malfunction. E-Clip popped off inside the grip, causing the trigger to stop functioning.
IHMP it put her Bersa's overall reliability at issue with me, with her using it as her primary CCW.
Seem this is a very COMMON failure with Bersa T380's with no proven dependable fix. "Limpwristing" causing a FTF jam seems to be the consensus as the most common cause of the malfuction.
I re-installed the E-Clip and so-far NP.
We still own it, but if it has ANOTHER E-Clip malfuction - it's gone. I'm already eye'n a Beretta PX4sc in 9mm for her.

Research into motion-sensitive proteins could allow space suits to generate power from the astronauts' movements in the space...
They are focusing on a protein called prestin, which is found in the outer hair cells of the human ear. In the cell membranes of these cells, prestin converts electrical voltage into motion, elongating and contracting the cell. This movement amplifies sound in the ear.

In Version 2, you need to load
before you enter
Sum[x^n/n!, {n, 0, Infinity}]

The SymbolicSum package will help -- though I do suggest that you
upgrade to Version 3.0. In Australia you could contact

The DiscreteMath`RSolve` package is also relevant:
In[1]:= <<DiscreteMath`RSolve`
In[2]:= ?ExponentialGeneratingFunction
"ExponentialGeneratingFunction[eqn, a[n], n, z] gives the exponential
generating functions Sum[a[n + m] z^n / n!, {n, 0, Infinity}] for the
functions a[n] solving eqn, with independent variable n.
ExponentialGeneratingFunction[{eqn1, eqn2, ...}, {a1[n], a2[n], ...},
n, z] gives the exponential generating functions Sum[ai[n + m] z^n /
n!, {n, 0, Infinity}] for the functions ai[n] solving eqn1, eqn2, ...,
with independent variable n. Here m denotes the least value of n such
that a[n] (or ai[n]) appears in the equation(s).
