The Wheel Deal
When your children are playing with one of these wheeled toys or sports items, make sure to have them take a moment ot remember the unknown caveperson from long ago that made it possible for them to do so. Oh, and that they need to put this stuff away at least half an hour before bedtime. That would be good, too.

Transportation Happenings: Summer Construction & the Cherrylawn neighborhoodMarch 11th, 2013
Having sidewalks, bike lanes, and good roads are important factors to allow viable transit for people of all ages and abilities. Unfortunately, when cities want to improve the infrastructure for motorized and non-motorized travel there are a lot of people who want to stick with the status quo. This is where you come in.
In order to add a bike line, a sidewalk, a crosswalk, or install a traffic light the city needs to hear from people who support such ventures at public meetings. What usually happens you ask? People opposing a project are the only ones who show up to these events. A lot of good stuff doesn't get done because the only people who attend these public meetings are the naysayers.
If you have an opinion about the addition of sidewalks in the Cherrylawn neighborhood, you should go to the public meeting that is taking place tonight, Monday March 11 from 5:30 to 7pm at the Heatherdowns Branch Library.
Keep in mind sidewalks make transportation for all people, especially children and the elderly, safe and access accessible. Not to mention they make walking to the store, taking your kid for a bike ride, and going for a run much easier.
Think you shouldn't go? Think again! Attending public meetings is a great way to help the city implement projects that will benefit you. All the time I hear people say "Why don't they put a bike lane in on road X?" or "They really need a light at this intersection!" and "We need sidewalks so I can go for a run, walk my dog, or play with my kids outside."
Believe it or not you do have a voice and it does count. Please go, let the city know that you want sidewalks in the Cherrylawn neighborhood!
Stay posted for other public meeting dates. A list and map of projects lined up for the summer of 2013:

In this paper we have devised an alternative methodological approach for quantifying utility in terms of expected information content of the decisionmaker's choice set. We have proposed an extension to the concept of utility by incorporating extrinsic utility; which we have defined as the utility derived from the element of choice afforded to the decision-maker by the availability of an object within his or her object set. We have subsequently applied this extended utility concept to the case of investor utility derived from a structured, financial product - an custom-made investment portfolio incorporating an endogenous capital-guarantee through inclusion of cash as a risk-free asset, based on the Black-Scholes derivative-pricing formulation. We have also provided instances of potential application of information and coding theory in the realms of financial decision-making with such structured portfolios, in terms of transmission of product information.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. -- Fall practice continued for the UAB Blazer football team Wednesday, as the squad spent about two hours in full pads at the practice field working on a number of drills that focused on the fundamentals.
"This is a grind, and it's supposed to be," UAB defensive coordinator and linebackers coach Reggie Johnson said. "This is the only week we have them without classes, so it's a big work-week for us. The guys are doing well. They're working hard and we've had good focus from them. It's a process, and our goal is to get better every day."
Johnson cited an importance on having the team focus on the fundamentals, especially when it comes to the proper stance, speed off the ball and proper progressions.
The linebackers also continued to make strides during the morning practice, according to Johnson. The first-year defensive coordinator is pleased with newcomers' eagerness to get on the field and take hits, especially freshman Chris Rabb.
"You see his natural instincts take over when he's in the pads," Johnson said. "He's a natural, contact guy, and he wants the contact. You see that whenever he puts on pads. He's a guy whose motor is running constantly."
Rabb isn't the only linebacker on the team who craves contact, as his cohorts are equally eager to don the pads and take the hits.
"I'm pleased with the linebackers," Johnson said. "I have some athletic young guys. I have guys that want to tackle and I just have to get out of the way and let them work. I'm just teaching them a couple things to help them beat blocks and how to read blocking schemes, but the rest; they'll do because they're a bunch of physically gifted guys. They can run, have length, they're strong, so I'm expecting a lot out of them."
The UAB football team opens the 2012 season on Saturday, September 1 hosting in-state rival Troy at Legion Field with kickoff scheduled for 11 a.m. CT.

|Wow scott that was a cool read, i am looking foward to more infomation about other fuel sources.
Yeah read up on him man. Tesla, the dude had it all figured out. He even started to build a free energy machine in NY. Then they discredited him, bankrupted him, and eventually had him whacked! ha
I think I heard about the methane thing too. Apparently there's tons of it dissoved in the oceans. They are actually worried about it releasing into the atmosphere because methane is like 20x more potent a greenhouse gas than CO2. There is a lake in Africa, I forget the name but it is saturated with dissolved co2. Once in the 80's something released all the co2 at once and it killed 1000s of people nearby. If we could get the methane out of the ocean maybe we would be averting a natural disaster as well!
Although methane is a hydrocarbon so burning it is going to produce co2 no matter what. It's basically natural gas, still alot cleaner than gasoline. Even squeaky clean hydrogen - if it's burned in a pure oxygen atmosphere produces nothing but water vapor, but for real world uses burning it in regular air creates oxides of nitrogen from the nitrogen in the air and other impurities.
Moral of the story, burning anything is bad in the long term. We gotta put our thinking caps on and get way out past that for the future.

I agree hybrids are just a temporary pacifier. Electric/fuel cell cars are probably the best bet long term right now. No batteries with their environmental problems, the energy is stored in nice, clean hydrogen. Just need to find a way to get that cleanly and efficiently.
That's where your free energy machine comes in
snowolf: that's pretty interesting stuff too. i wouldn't doubt if we saw some application from that in the coming years. it's been a few years since my studies of chemistry, but i would imagine burning methane gives off some kind of pollutant, i'm not sure though. if so though, widespread use of methane would probably be frowned upon.

|yeah, i actually had thought of that hvalley. i thought it was interesting that salt water ignited though. none of this is gonna matter soon though, i'm gonna discover a way to farm entropy, i think i'm getting close
Interesting topic guys. Unfortunately things aren't quite as simple as that article makes it seem. I will guarantee that the energy used by his radio wave device is more than the energy available in the hydrogen produced. By the laws of thermodynamics it has to be, and they've held up pretty good for the last couple hundred years.
That would be called an "overunity" reaction. A type of perpetual motion. People sure have been looking, but no ones found one yet. Hydrogen is not an energy source, its an energy carrier. The energy used in splitting it from water is always more than what you get back. Even a unity reaction (1:1) is impossible. There is always a loss (entropy). This is true of any physical reaction.
What you need to look at is getting free, clean energy to obtain the hydrogen(solar, wind, etc.) Google solar electrolysis, it can be done pretty cheaply on a small scale. I think the Dutch actually have some solar powered hydrogen refueling stations for the public.
And if we're talking about automotive uses, since you've gone through all that trouble to get your hydrogen, you'll want to use it as efficiently as possible. The rotary is sure alot better than a piston engine but still internal combustion is not the way to go. Fuel cells use the reverse of the electrolysis reaction to produce electricity. There are electric motors that can approach 90% efficiency. You also get the benefit of dynamic braking where the kinetic energy of the moving car is reclaimed instead of just being wasted as heat (the current brake pad system).
I didn't put this here to shoot anyone down or anything. I think about this kind of stuff all the time too when I'm buying $4/gal gas! The best things happen when everyone is throwing out ideas.
HIROSHIMA, October 27, 2004 – Today, Japan's transport authorities gave Mazda permission to road test a hydrogen-fueled, rotary-engine version of its RX-8 sports car. This unique vehicle features a dual-fuel system that allows the driver to select hydrogen or gasoline with the flick of a switch. In what could prove a historic event, this will be the world's first "street legal" dual-fuel hydrogen rotary. Permission from Japan's Ministry of Land Infrastructure and Transport (MLIT) comes 12 months after Mazda unveiled a hydrogen/rotary concept version of the award-winning RX-8 at the 2003 Tokyo Motor Show. Mazda's near-term goal is to assess the practicality of this unique powertrain in everyday use. In the next-stage, expected within two years, test vehicles will be leased to governments and fleet users. Known as H2RE, the test vehicle will deliver good performance with no loss of interior space for four people--the high-pressure hydrogen fuel tank is mounted in the vehicle's trunk. The H2RE is powered by a modified version of Mazda's award-winning RENESIS rotary engine that features an electronically controlled hydrogen gas direct injection system on the rotor housing. RENESIS has proved ideal for burning hydrogen as the intake area of a rotary engine stays relatively cool in temperature, reducing the tendency for engine backfire--a significant challenge in conventional engines. The hydrogen/rotary combination likewise offers superior environmental performance--zero emission of CO2 and near zero NOx emissions. And because existing parts and production facilities are used, the innovative engine can be built reliably at a relatively low cost. More importantly, the hydrogen/gasoline dual fuel system will enable the H2RE to travel beyond the range of the few hydrogen filling stations now available. Mazda will continue to develop this technology for practical use and work to support the development of a hydrogen-fueled society. Major specifications of "Mazda RX-8 Hydrogen Rotary Engine Vehicle"

|the other thing is what about the fricken batterys that go in a few years. Of how much waste that will create, its almost as mad as using fossil fuels

but I do think it's going toward the right direction, I mean come on if this guy can come up with this many other scientist can do it. I need to get to a laptop and I can show you guys a video on running a rotary rx-8 hydrogen car in japan. I honestly think hydro is the next fuel for the world. I really think hybrids are a fashion statement to say I care. Which in reality is as much of destrution of the enviormemt as using fossil fuels.
I will edit when I get to a laptop, I wrote this on my itouch

Parents Demonstrate For State Senators' Support
The loosely formed group came together just weeks ago when they learned cuts in funding would spell a loss of teachers and programs next school year.
When Senator Steve Oelrich cancelled a scheduled meeting, they came anyway.
"I work just like everyone else out here," said Gary Appelson, concerned parent. "I don't do things like this. We're just here because we had a meeting with the senator."
But in a phone interview, the senator said he's postponed the meeting with parents so he can work on setting up a town hall meeting with Senator Don Gates, chairman of K-12 education.
Parents want the senator to ask the governor for a special legislative meeting.
Demonstrators said they aren't targeting Senator Oelrich specifically, but all legislative leaders. The reason? They want the state to release reserve funds.
Senator Oelrich said education isn't the only thing suffering from budget cuts.
"Education is part of that obviously, but it's not the whole picture so I'd hate to weaken the reserve funds in a situation we might pull out of in a year," said Oelrich.
As of 4p.m. this afternoon, the many parent groups have collectively raised over $65,000, which they hope will save school programs and teachers. They received an additional $300,000 from two donors who wish to remain anonymous, but they are still a long way away from their target of a million dollars.

Join us on our podcast each weekday for an interesting story, well told, from Charisma News. Listen at charismapodcastnetwork.com.
The Life Legal Defense Foundation has filed a "friend of the court" brief in a controversial case revolving around an Ohio congressman's vote supporting Obamacare and public opposition to his campaign by the Susan B. Anthony List. The litigation is currently on appeal in federal court in Cincinnati.
In 2010, Congressman Steve Driehaus, D-Ohio, blamed defeat in his bid for re-election on the Susan B. Anthony List and went so far as to sue the group for defamation. In the lawsuit, Driehaus alleged the pro-life group—committed to electing pro-life candidates—cost him his job and a "loss of livelihood" by educating constituents about his vote in favor of the Affordable Care Act. One of the group's efforts consisted of erecting billboards in his district, stating that by voting for the act, Driehaus voted for taxpayer-funded abortion.
The arguments in the case center around using public information to influence a campaign.
Abortion Funding in Obamacare
Despite the clear evidence of expanded taxpayer funding of abortion, the outcome of the lawsuit turns on the court's opinion about whether the Affordable Care Act does so.
"This brief lays out the numerous ways in which it does expand taxpayer funding," states Dana Cody, president and executive director of the Life Legal Defense Foundation. "As such, Susan B. Anthony List's political advertisements were objectively true, and this lawsuit is exposed for what it really is—an attack on pro-life speech."
Legislator Voting Records
The Susan B. Anthony List ran a "Votes Have Consequences" program targeting Democrats who claimed pro-life positions. The purpose of the initiative was to hold Congress members accountable for their votes on Obamacare. In the 2010 election, U.S. representatives who had supported the Affordable Care Act and its expanded taxpayer funding of abortion were "outed" to their constituents.
Who Decides Truth?
In a related case, the Susan B. Anthony List is challenging the Ohio election law that allows the Ohio Elections Commission to decide the truth or falsity of some political advertisements. The commission's arbitrary decision that the truth about a congressman's voting record can be deemed false and thereby illegal to use in countering a political campaign borders on dangerous violation of constitutionally guaranteed free speech.
"It violates the law for a pro-life political organization to speak the truth about a congressman's voting record?" questions Cody. "What has happened to free speech and the marketplace of ideas? We trust that this misguided Ohio law will be overturned and that Susan B. Anthony List and others will be free to speak the truth without fear."

Re: Experience the Future of Lincoln Today
I'm assuming the vehicle shown was the MKC, does anyone have any insight on the other future products mentioned?
Experience the Future of Lincoln Today
Experience the Future of Lincoln Today
DEARBORN Jim Farley, executive vice president, Marketing, Sales and Service and Lincoln, kicked off the first of six special employee-focused Lincoln brand sessions Tuesday to a full-house within the World Headquarters auditorium.
The presentations continue on Wednesday and Thursday of this week and are designed to share important information regarding the reinvention of the Lincoln brand with employees.
My Dad was a Lincoln man, bought a new Lincoln every year, said Farley. According to Farley, what his father liked about Lincoln years ago was the understated elegance the brand delivered, the unique features on each new model year and the superior service he received at his local dealership all facets the Lincoln team is working to improve upon as part of the brands renaissance.
Transforming a luxury brand is completely different than the mainstream business, said Farley. You cant improve the brand quickly, because the brand isnt about product attributes, its about something much deeper. Its about how someone feels about that logo. And that takes time.
In addition to reiterating the importance of patience, Farley also explained that globally the luxury vehicle industry is vibrant and growing, providing a formidable stage for new Lincoln products to thrive within. China, with its growing middle class and demand for luxury products, also is expected to play a significant role in the future sales success of Lincoln.
Matt VanDyke, director, Global Lincoln Marketing, Sales and Service, outlined how Lincoln plans to appeal to premium clients and elevate the perception of the Lincoln brand with each new vehicle launch.
You all know Quality, Green, Safe and Smart and those are the drivers of favorable opinion for the mass market, said VanDyke. But in the premium industry the drivers are a little bit different; they are Quality, Design and Personal Service.
VanDyke explained that quality is about craftsmanship and dependability and noted the Lincoln MKZs recent J.D. Power and Associates Automotive Performance, Execution and Layout (APEAL) award in the best compact premium category was proof Lincoln is reaching design goals.
And finally, where we have a real opportunity to differentiate ourselves is through personal service, said VanDyke introducing some of the ways Lincoln will exceed client expectations from a service perspective with features such as Lincoln Concierge.
The presentation also included a look at the next new vehicle coming from Lincoln later this year.
Employee Impressions
Mark Albrant, a Ford customer service representative, attended the presentation and appreciated getting more insight into the future of Lincoln. I think the big thing, outside of seeing the plan and whats coming, was understanding all the different elements of the Lincoln plan, said Albrant who was impressed by the heightened level of customer service Lincoln clients will enjoy whether inside the customized Lincoln dealership or working with the Lincoln Concierge researching from home.
Other employees attended to find out more about specific Lincoln features, such as the Lincoln Black Label collection. Sue Morgan, Ford network planner, came to learn more about Lincoln Black Label. I heard a lot about it today and it was really exciting, said Morgan. She added that the presentation also gave her a clearer picture of Lincolns future products and had her thinking of which vehicles would fit the needs of various friends and family members.

Neon orange comes to mind, but not in a bad way. The Fyrinnae website describes this shade as "Bright complex coral with a slight golden (pun not intended) shimmer finish. Leans more orange than pink, but that varies depending on application."
It's very bright, very pigmented, very pretty neon peach imo. I can easily see it layered on top of tanned skin as part of a e/s look when you want to enhance a summer look that is fresh, clean and shimmery. I'm not sure if these products are meant to be used on other areas of the face, but they remind me of nothing else - they are that densely pigmented and complex.

Was There A Cover Up At Mitsubishi?
Motohiro Kaibara could be classified as a Mitsubishi man. He works as a mechanic at his family's Mitsubishi Motors Corp. dealership in Kitakyushu, a city in southern Japan. And he will only drive a Mitsubishi. But Kaibara's faith began to unravel last year. That's when a customer nearly ran down his own grandchild while attempting to park a 1998 Mitsubishi Diamante. The driver had just put the car in reverse when it shot backward, just missing the child.
Mitsubishi tested the vehicle at its regional technical center in July, 1999, and insisted that nothing fundamental was amiss. But the customer, a retiree in his late 60s who asked not to be identified, says that twice more his $33,000 Diamante accelerated in reverse. Kaibara decided to check the car himself, though he was aware such incidents rarely occur with any consistency. To his surprise, the vehicle shot back a meter or so upon shifting into reverse.
Mitsubishi may have a problem here. In recent months, there have been other reports of reverse acceleration involving Diamante sedans. The allegations of a possible defect do not involve a large number of cases. But they come in the wake of revelations that over two decades Mitsubishi Motors has covered up thousands of complaints about glitches with its cars and trucks.
The problems won't go away. Police in Tokyo, where Mitsubishi Motors is headquartered, have launched an investigation into allegations that the company was criminally negligent in covering up defects. Mitsubishi has declined to comment on the probe. But investigators have told the Japanese press they have evidence indicating that serious car defects were secretly repaired at two Mitsubishi technical centers. In some cases, the sources said, engineers replaced or repaired car computers.
According to Kaibara, a faulty computer likely is to blame for the Diamante acceleration problem. The model is believed to be part of the police probe: The Transport Ministry says so far authorities have documented seven cases of reverse acceleration involving Diamantes made since 1997.
Is the computer the culprit? No way, says Megumu Okubo, general manager of Mitsubishi Motors' car service department. "We believe drivers mistakenly hit the gas pedal instead of the brakes," he says. Yet Kaibara insists that's not so. The company does know of about 20 cases of sudden acceleration--forward and backward--since the early 1980s. Twenty years ago, when Mitsubishi first began putting computers in cars, it's possible, Okubo says, that a mixed signal in the electronic brain could have caused sudden acceleration. That's why Mitsubishi developed a "fail-proof" system made of two computers. Thus, he asserts, the auto maker is sure drivers are at fault.
TOUGH FOE. Try telling that to Shigeo Toyoda, the 57-year-old president of a small employment referral business in western Tokyo. After his Diamante lurched backward last September, hitting another car, Toyoda asked Mitsubishi to inspect the vehicle. The company said there was nothing wrong with it. That's when Toyoda set up a Web site where Mitsubishi owners can report troubles. Toyoda has since received 1,000 reports of faulty brakes, engines that stop, and sudden acceleration.
While activists like Toyoda are increasingly assertive, successful consumer activism is still rare in Japan. And it's not easy to take on a Mitsubishi. On at least three occasions, Toyoda has received visits from company execs who, he says, were rude and implied he was a liar. When Toyoda stepped up his online campaign, Mitsubishi filed a lawsuit in May demanding $5,000, or what they say it cost them to test his Diamante. Last week, Toyoda launched a countersuit to get the carmaker to pay $20,000 in damages. "Someone has to stand up to Mitsubishi," he says.
Kaibara is also feeling pressure. Mitsubishi dispatched a senior engineer to his dealership to convince the mechanic that the car was trouble-free. Kaibara remains resolute. "Many Mitsubishi mechanics believe it's a programming quirk," he says, "one that might be difficult to fix." Mitsubishi would do well to take seriously ordinary Japanese like Kaibara and Toyoda. Otherwise its reputation may be impossible to repair.

The Astro2010 Survey Committee report, "New Worlds, New Horizons in Astronomy and Astrophysics," was released by the National Academies in Washington, DC, on Friday, 13 August. The report recommended priorities of the most important scientific and technical activities for astronomy and astrophysics over the next 10 years. The committee tried to include a balance of small, medium, and large initiatives, as well as ground- and space-based telescopes across the electromagnetic spectrum.
During its two-year study, the committee weighed input from nearly 200 astronomers and astrophysicists serving on panels or infrastructure study groups. There was also an unprecedented response of 324 science white papers, 69 position papers, 70 technology white papers, 108 community responses, and several community-organized town halls. The Astro2010 committee commented on the involvement and support by the astronomical community and immense effort by the committee, panels, and consultants, as well as the strong cooperation of the agencies and professional societies.
"I believe NASA is at its finest when it is executing a consensus agenda, endorsed by the National Academy, that can become a national policy that everyone in the country can get behind. There's no partisanship here, no arguments - we have a consensus agenda to move forward with," said SPIE Fellow H. Philip Stahl, senior optical physicist at NASA Marshall Space Flight Center, and technical lead for optical components on the James Webb Space Telescope.
The recommendations were organized by three main objectives: cosmic dawn (searching for the first stars, galaxies and black holes), new worlds and nearby habitable planets, and physics of the universe such as dark energy, dark matter, and studying Einstein's theory of relativity. The committee prioritized projects based on the infrastructure of existing programs, cost, maximizing return, urgent needs, and international and private partnerships.
Projects that were recommended for priority attention included the large scale space programs Wide Field InfraRed Survey Telescope (WFIRST), as well as Explorer Program augmentation, the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna, and the International X-ray Observatory (IXO). The large-scale ground-based program Large synoptic survey telescope (LSST), and mid-scale innovations program such as the giant segmented mirror telescope, and Atmospheric Cernkov Telescope Array, and the medium-scale Cerro Chajnantor Atacama Telescope also made the cut.
"I was slightly surprised to see the Explorer program ranked higher than LISA or IXO," said Marc Postman, head of Community Missions Office Space Telescope Science Institute, Baltimore, MD. "At the same time, I know the Explorer program has been cut and I think the Decadal committee is right to try to rectify that. It is a very worthwhile program."
"The 2010 report is so much better and more useful than the 2000 because of the fact that they took into account the budget constraints and ranked the missions based on what's real and available money," Stahl said.
"I think within the constrained budget environment, the decadal priorities do directly address or begin to develop the technology to address the top astrophysical questions of our time - what is the nature of dark energy? What is the nature of dark matter? And are there habitable worlds around Solar type stars?" Postman said.
This report also looks to the future of astronomy, not just the next ten years. "I also think they made it pretty clear that a UV-optical successor to HST is a serious contender for the top priority in the 2020 decadal review. The UV-optical astronomy community now has about 8 years (or less) to come together and define the specifications for that observatory," Postman said.

Weights from Germany
Former world cruiserweight champion and world heavyweight title contender Juan Carlos Gomez is clearly not in the shape of his lifetime these days but slowly on the way back to his old physique. For Friday's fight against Alexander Kahl in Schwerin (live on Eurosport from 9pm German time) Gomez weighed in at 110,0 kg / 242.5 lbs. Although it is still a long way from the "Black Panda" (as German BILD Zeitung wrote) back to the "Black Panther" Gomez has lost 13 lbs. since his last fight only two weeks ago in Hamburg. "Lots of people think I am not serious in trying to get back to the top of the world", Gomez said in Schwerin. "But I am ready to prove them all wrong. The Black Panther is back. I promise my fans a great fight and I still dream of becoming the first Cuban heavyweight champion of the world. It's Showtime!"
His opponent Alexander Kahl from Stuttgart weighed in at 247 lbs. and showed self confidence as well: "I haven't come here to just collect my purse and lose the fight. Of course, I respect Juan for all he has achieved but anything can happen in the ring. I am well prepared and I will do my best to pull the upset." Kahl is known for a solid punch, his record contains of 15 wins including 13 stoppages with 4 defeats and one draw.
In the co-feature on Eurosport hard-hitting German heavyweight Konstantin "Sandman" Airich (13-2-2, 11 kos / 223 lbs.) faces Russian veteran Alexey Varakin (28-17-3, 16 kos / 218 lbs.). Instead of a stare-down the two contenders shook hands at the weigh-in. "May the best man win", said Airich. "And may I be that best man!"
German light heavyweight prospect Robert Woge (1-0, 1 ko / 174 lbs.) returns only two weeks after his pro-debut. His opponent Armen Azizian (9-9, 1 ko / 182 lbs.) weighed in slightly over the limit.

Politics Daily tips us that Terry Jones, the would-be Quran-burning preacher, and radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh both attended the same high school in Cape Girardeau, Mo., in 1969.
The high school website is up with photos from their 1969 yearbook, and comments from classmates.
It also notes that Jones was a pitcher for the Tigers baseball team.
Nobody is suggesting any political or ideological connection between the pair.
Here's how the high school website puts it:
Rush Limbaugh USED to be Cape Girardeau's most prominent export. One of his classmates from the Central High School Class of 1969 is dominating the news right now: Terry Jones, the Gainesville, FL, preacher who is threatening to hold an "International Burn a Koran Day" on September 11.
Click here to view the web site and read the class discussion.
Update and clarification at 1:53 P.M. ET: The website noted above and a similar Facebook page is run and operated by Ken Steinoff, class of 1965, who says he was a photographer for both the school yearbook and school newspaper. It is not the official school web site, rather is a site where Steinoff posts old photographs and bits of nostalgia about the Cape Central high school. He was among the first to put together the Jones-Limbaugh connection. He tells the St. Louis Post-Dispatch: "When you have Rush Limbaugh and Terry Jones come out of the same class," Steinoff told the Post-Dispatch, "that's extraordinary."

Bristol, R.I. -- Aside from location, majors, dorm rooms and sports, food ranks as one of the key factors that students consider when applying to colleges. And with a coveted spot on The Daily Meal's "52 Best Colleges for Food in America list," Roger Williams is in good shape on the food front.
"We work hard here in the Dining Commons, and it's nice to get recognized by an outside source – we were ranked last year in Newsweek as one of the top service locations in the country, so I guess word is out that the food isn't too bad at Roger Williams," says Stephanie Colliton-Keith, marketing manager/controller for Bon Appétit, the University's food service provider, with a laugh.
Executive Chef Rob Lavoie told The Daily Meal about RWU's "commitment to using fresh, seasonal ingredients sourced from local farmers and to sustainable practices on the whole, companywide."
The blog post also cited the University's all-you-can-eat dining program, which features everything from stir-fry to sandwiches and pizza to paninis. And the options don't stop with the basics – students enjoy dishes such as turkey- and quinoa-stuffed peppers and semolina and Gruyere quenelle with marinara sauce.
"I think the students enjoy the variety," Colliton-Keith says. "They eat here three times a day, seven days a week – you can get bored if there isn't enough going on, but when you walk into the Upper Commons, there's seven different locations, and we're running different specials every week to break up the monotony."
Lavoie also told The Daily Meal that since 2003 the Dining Commons has been serving seafood that meets Seafood Watch sustainability guidelines. Shell eggs have also been cage-free since 2005 and last month, the dining team started serving ground beef "that's 100 percent from ranches whose animal welfare practices have been certified as meeting strict standards."
After lauding RWU's dining options, The Daily Meal closed their post with this advice for students at other universities: "Undergrads: hurry, there's still time to transfer."

Stock turbo + FMIC with the 09's turbo layout is moronic. I'm sorry, but your entire intake system is designed around using a top mounted intercooler. It's the main advantage it has over the 02-07 WRX layout. Also, the stock turbo is not that big and will just see added lag from a FMIC, not performance.
please disprove my 100% accuate dyno showings then! i produced NO lag. infact from the old tune to the new tune my spool time accually moved to the LEFT!! again, could a TMIC do the same?? yes, probably. could it move the curve to the left more?? maybe it could!! but the FMIC produced no bad side effects so it works great. so your logic is moronic. you dont have a 09 wrx, you dont have a VF52, so you dont know. im telling you the truth and you calling my a lier basically. what more proof do you want??
a guy on nasioc with a 09 has ONLY a perrin FMIC, intake and TBE. made 314/314 on his dyno. ran a 12.2 1/4. now go ahead and tell me a FMIC is moronic on a 09 wrx
FMIC IS MORONIC ON A 09 WRX.... There i said it what are you gonna do now???? lol
There are far better ways to spend money on a stock wrx...
Show me a before and after where all you change is the IC from a nice aftermarket TMIC to your FMIC. Until you do that, any dyno graph you throw up is COMPLETELY IRRELEVANT TO THE DISCUSSION AT HAND!
The stock intercooler is small, no shit. The issue is not whether replacing the intercooler helps and whether an 09 wrx can make xxx whp. Again, the issue is whither a TMIC or a FMIC is a better choice.
And no lag? Do you even know what lag is? Seriously?

theEweekly Wrap – Bebo, The Telegraph and Apple's iAd
|Bebo bye-bye
|Bebo, the struggling social media network, is in danger of being closed down after AOL made the decision to cut ties with the site. Bebo, which cost AOL £557 million in 2008, had been struggling under increased competition from Twitter and Facebook and after the failure of several cost-cutting measures, the US company decided to abandon the site.
Jon Broad, head of AOL's start up acquisition and investment unit revealed the news to Bebo's 30 employees via email.
"Bebo, unfortunately, is a business that has been declining and, as a result, would require significant investment in order to compete in the competitive social networking space," he wrote.
"AOL is not in a position at this time to further fund and support Bebo in pursuing a turnaround in social networking."
While the company is continuing its efforts to find a buyer, social media marketers have a bleak view about the future of the network.
|Telegraphing SEO
|The Telegraph has started to integrate SEO into online articles, according to its head of audience development.
Talking to Search Engine Watch, Julian Shambles revealed the UK broadsheet is training editors and journalists to apply search engine optimisation tactics to content.
"Search engines are important. It [SEO] doesn't mean changing the quality of writing. It means how we can give writers the understanding so they know how they can affect their articles to do better in search results," he said.
Indeed, the implementation of SEO copywriting at the Telegraph has helped its audience rise from 7 million visitors in 2007 to 31 million in December 2009.
The Telegraph is just one of the many media outlets turning its attention to SEO copywriting. Recently, the BBC announced it would be giving journalists the opportunity to add SEO-friendly title tags to articles.
|iMobile marketing
|Tech gurus Apple have announced a new mobile advertising platform. The system, revealed this week in a high-profile press conference, will give iPhone app developers to the chance to incorporate advertisements into applications.
The platform, cunningly named iAd, allows advertising content to be displayed inside an application. Presently, users are forced to exit a programme before they can access advertisers' content. Developers will receive 60 per cent of all iAd revenue, while Apple will take 40 per cent.
Many mobile marketers have commented the move puts Apple in direct competition with their once-bff Google. Indeed, Google recently purchased ad group AdMob.
Still, many believe Apple's move will benefit Google; writing in Marketing Pilgrim, Jordan McCollum said that the search giant would probably now avoid accusations of being a monopoly in the market.

A pandemic is a global disease outbreak. It is determined by how the disease spreads, not how many deaths it causes.
When a new influenza A virus emerges, a flu pandemic can occur. Highly pathogenic avian influenza A H5N1, or "bird flu," is an example of an influenza virus with pandemic potential. This is a nonhuman virus (it is novel among humans and circulates widely in birds in parts of the world). Because the virus is new, the human population has little to no immunity against it and can quickly spread from person-to-person worldwide.
The United States is not currently experiencing a flu pandemic. If a pandemic occurs, JCPH will work with state and national officials to provide updates on the steps being taken to address the pandemic.
Prepare an emergency kit, learn about public health strategies intended to stop the spread of infectious diseases, such as isolation, shelter in place and quarantine.

Born Johnny Otis, Jr. on November 30, 1953, in Los Angeles, CA, Otis' formidable musical talents appeared at an early age. He began his professional career around 1965. He played a guitar solo on his bandleader, father Johnny Otis' 1969 number 29 R&B hit, "Country Girl," issued by Kent Records. His guitar skills were so adept that during his teen years, he would have to wear dark glasses and strategically apply black ink between his nose and mouth to appear old enough to perform in clubs with his father.
Signing with CBS Records, Otis began recording virtuoso guitar-laced R&B/West Coast blues sides. His first LP was Al Kooper Introduces Shuggie Otis on CBS. Johnny Otis produced 1970's Here Comes Shuggie Otis, which was issued on the CBS imprint, Epic Records. Otis' Freedom Flight was issued September 1971 and included the original version of "Strawberry Letter 23," the heart-tugging "Someone's Always Singing," "Ice Cold Daydream," and the bluesy "Me and My Woman," co-written by Otis and Gene Barge (known best for his association with Chess Records, Chuck Willis, and Natalie Cole).
His LP Inspiration Information was issued in October 1974, with Otis playing all of the instruments on jazzy and Latin-tinged R&B numbers. The LP was one of the first releases to showcase the electronic rhythm box then found usually on organs. Besides "Inspiration Information," the LP included the sly "Sparkle City," the sweet ballad "Outtamihead," and the lush, strings-laden "Island Letter," which was the B-side of "Inspiration Information."
George Johnson of the Brothers Johnson was dating one of Otis' cousins who gave Johnson a copy of Freedom Flight. Immediately, he liked "Ice Cold Daydream" and "Strawberry Letter 23." The latter song was played at his brother Louis Johnson's wedding during the wedding march. Louis suggested the song to their producer Quincy Jones for an album track. The track's complex guitar solo was played by Lee Ritenour. The Brothers Johnson version is quite close to Otis' original version.
Later on in the '90s, Otis played with his own band around northern California and toured extensively. His son, Lucky Otis, played bass with Johnny Otis' band. Shuggie Otis is featured in the book Alligator Records Presents West Coast Blues, issued in August 1998 by Milwaukee, WI, publisher Hal Leonard. ~ Ed Hogan, Rovi

Matching front & rear axle ratios?
OK. . .stupid question!
I'm new to modifying 4WD's. . .I haven't messed with axle gears in a 4WD before so I figured I'd better ask just to make sure I know.
Do your front and rear axle ratios need to match?
If they don't, what would be the advantage/disadvantage of this?
Thanks for cluing me in on this.
Yes they need to match, if they dont match your front and rear wheels will turn at different speeds and damage your transfer case. I have seen mud boggers and sand draggers use different ratios in the axles, but they would correct it buy running different size tires.
That's what I thought.
I just wanted to double check. . .I haven't done much messing around with 4WD's before so. . .better safe than sorry. . .you never know.
The mud boggers and sand draggers can keep their different sized wheels. . .that would look DUMB on a Willy's P/U!!!
True. . .not what we have in mind though.
We're going for a jacked up WWII look. . .inspired by the Dodge Power Wagon off of Gearz TV show (minus the Rockwell axles. . .at least for now!!!).

How many people here think it would be a good idea to carry a weapon similar to what local LE do. I think it might be a good idea in some circumstances. I know we all have our pet favorite EDC but I tend to think if you have a BG at gunpoint when LE rolls up. It would maybe make an LEO flinch an extra second on the trigger finger if you are holding a GLOCK or other similar LE issue weapon in sted of a Nickel revolver or fancy pearl handled 1911.
BTW...just kinda bored and thought this would make an interesting thread.

I don't think it would make any difference. I don't even closely resemble a law enforcement officer.
I think you need to go back to being bored.
When the LEO rolls up I doubt that the kind of gun you are holding on someone is going to matter. Just put it down very carefully when he tells you to and don't make any sudden moves.
I don't think it will make a lick of difference. Regardless of what you're carrying you're still a non uniformed person pointing a firearm at another, and that's going to make for a tense situation.
I don't think it would make any difference what you have in your hand when the police show up. All he is going to see is you holding a gun. He's not worried about whether its a glock/sig/hk or a pink keltec. His only concern when he arrives is if you obey his commands immediately.

Great idea--get yourself a uniform and a COP car like they have too. You'll fit right in...but better yet, join up--they're always looking for a few good people! :)
Thats the last reason I would carry a particular weapon. Most PD require a certain weapon so that they don't have to send someone to every Amory school in the nation and than try to keep parts in stock for way to many different brands. I can promise you that if you ever get into a shooting the courts will care less that your weapon is what the PD carries in your area.

I think a Glock is a good idea for when the leo makes you throw it on the ground. That way you won't be scratching a nice "Nickel revolver or fancy pearl handled 1911." :)
My name is Frogman46 and I'm tougher than you.
I am an LEO, the olny avantage to being an instructor was you got to try out other models. Don't worry what other people carry, you must feel comfortable with the gun first--Does it feel good in your grip, does it point straight (how does the front sight come up on target? fast?) and don't go for the big bang theory--good hits and placement are most important,pratice and enjoy.
I'm not worried about what kind of gun a potential BG has, only that he has one. It doesnt matter if its a high end model or a HiPoint, a gun is a gun at that point.
Anybody who has ever responded to a call like that will tell you the same thing.
"Just blame Sixto"
I reserve the right to make fun, point and laugh etc.
1. As many have already said, LEO is not going to care what kind of gun you have, just that you have one.
2. Very likely that the gun your local PD issues is a full-size or service-sized weapon that may not be easily concealable for you.
3. For whatever reasons, you may not be able to comfortably, accurately, or safely shoot the gun issued by your local PD.
Know your local laws. Be sure that if you ever do need to use your weapon, you're within the guidelines of your state/local laws for use of force. When a LEO arrives on scene do EXACTLY what he/she says, when he/she tells you to do it. In general, as long as you didn't use your weapon irresponsibly, eventually, everything will work out.
Well just so everybody understands..not a mall ninja here or a CCW badge buyer. Just one of those silly forum questions others have asked on here from time to time. It came from a conversation that evolved into a dumb curiousity. I work with police quite regularly, as a probation officer. I deal with some of the worst long after the police have left...generally by myself, no backup, radios uniforms or squad cars. Half my family are LEO and almost all of my friends. Our local SD issues .357 SIG, in the Glock 31. Partially due to the fact that ballistically it is a wicked round, and partially due to the fact it is an oddball caliber in these parts...meaning that if someone here is shot with a .357 sig it makes it a good possibility it may be an LE weapon. Didn't think I would catch crap for just asking a curious question to get every one talking and thinking. Ill try and refrain from asking dumb questions from now on.

Well, Ayoob recommends using the same ammo that your local PD carries.
But carry the same gun?
Nope, don't think so.
Of course, you might find yourself assisting the police in a protracted firefight with a group of armed terrorists or bank robbers. Carrying the same gun and ammo as the police would simplify the logistical problems...
When youre wounded and left on Afghanistans plains,
And the women come out to cut up what remains,
Just roll to your rifle and blow out your brains,
And go to your God like a soldier.

Many people in Israel are celebrating the success of the Israel Defense Force (IDF) in crushing Hamas during the invasion of Gaza. The assumption of these individuals is somehow a "victory" was attained in Gaza. For a moment, let us examine the premise that killing 1,300 people at a cost of 13 Israeli lives represents a "victory" over an enemy. Hamas most probably lost a few hundred of its soldiers in the battles, but aside for a few leaders being killed, the top leadership of the organization is intact. If the aim of the invasion was to "teach the Arab world a lesson that Israel is strong and can inflict pain," that message has been conveyed, but will it result in desired results of peace and reconciliation? There is no question the most important "lesson" of the Gaza invasion is not to arouse the fury of the IDF unless one seeks bombing, death, and destruction.
In the end for all Israelis and Palestinians is some sort of peace agreement under which each group can live in peace and their children can live normal lives without fears of bombing and death. The Gaza invasion showed vividly that a significant portion of the Israeli population now accepts the death of hundreds of children on ground it will provide "security" for their own lives. Is such a view in accord with the experience of Jews over thousands of years in which they endured prejudice and death from individuals who regarded them as a threat to their "security?"
Israelis, understandably, view the world from the position of being in a small nation which is surrounded by enemies seeking their destruction. To believe using might to inflict pain will somehow remove the reality of being surrounded by enemies it so live in fantasy land. The Arab League offered peace and recognition of Israel based on 1967 borders and removal of illegal Jewish immigrants from the West Bank. It was not a perfect offer, but certainly was the basis for further negotiation. Does killing 1,300 people enhance the possibility of a better peace offer? I doubt it. Each dead Gazan produces several Gazans who hate Israelis and may not seek peace, but prefer vengeance.
The United States of America has been led for eight years by a man(most probably the worse enemy Jews have known in their history) who believed in war and destruction rather than negotiation and peace. For example, in 2001, the Iranian government of Khatami provided intelligence support to the American campaign in Afghanistan and offered to negotiate a peace agreement under which Iran would cease aiding terrorists, recognize Israel and cooperate on nuclear energy issues. Bush turned them down. I wonder how many Israelis today would prefer if Bush had accepted the Iranian compromise offer or do they believe using might like bombing Iranian nuclear facilities as a more intelligent approach to peace?
Life is never "either/or?" There are always alternative paths. Allowing West Bank settlers to control Israel foreign policy is a choice, not a must. Israel lacks leaders and, apparently, now it lacks a population which is committed to peace. We propose the following actions on the part of Israel:
1. An apology to the people of Gaza for the killing of innocent civilians.
2. Providing medical care to all Gazans who were injured in the attacks.
3. Financial compensation to Gazans for the destruction inflicted on them.
4. Immediate evacuation of the West Bank and acceptance of the Arab League proposal.
5. Ask an impartial international law group to investigate any examples of criminal behavior during the Gaza invasion on the part of Israel or Hamas soldiers.
Might provides the illusion of victory.

In the box you'll find a mounting bracket that clips onto the headrest for in-car use, but unlike most brackets this one is made from plastic, and the player slots into it with a satisfying click. When in place the screen can be tilted up to 30 degrees.
The supplied cigarette outlet adapter also means you don't have to worry about losing power on long journeys but you might not need it, as the quoted battery life figures are pretty impressive. You can squeeze up to seven hours of playback time out of it, although to achieve that you'll need to set the screen brightness to -5 and use headphones. Set to '0' you get 4.5 hours, at +5 the figure is 3 hours and with the screen turned off you can listen to music for 9 hours. If none of that is enough, you can buy batteries that further increase playback time.
True to form, Panasonic packs the LS84 with a decent range of video and audio features. You'll find a selection of picture presets - Normal, Cinema 1 and 2 - which offer different levels of contrast and brightness, plus there's a User mode that lets you set the levels of Depth Enhancement and MPEG Digital Noise Reduction. Additionally, a pair of buttons on the unit enables you to adjust the brightness and colour levels of the picture or switch between 'Daylight' and 'Moonlight'(!) modes. On the audio side, you'll find a bass booster (H.Bass), virtual surround modes for headphones and speakers, Dialogue Enhancer and Sound Enhancement.
Elsewhere the Just Fit Zoom mode offers a choice of American Vista, Cinemascope 1 and 2 presets, alongside the regular 16:9 setting - Cinemascope expands letterboxed movies to fill the screen. There's also a manual zoom mode if none of these fits the bill, as well as Advanced Disc Review, which scans the first 10 seconds of each title or scans in 10 minute intervals.
Disc compatibility is excellent. The unit plays DVD-RAM, DVD-R/-RW, DVD+RW/+R, dual-layer DVD-R and DVD+R, Video CD and CD-R/-RW. The player also supports HighMAT discs, DivX, MP3, WMA and JPEG.
In action, the LS84 is a very user-friendly machine. The onscreen menus are easy on the eye and well-structured for the most part, although getting to the main setup menu is rather long-winded. Text is easy to read and there are some handy displays during playback that give you info about the current disc and even the bitrate if you enable it in the setup menu.

She's spent the past 16 years "mucking about" to develop a way to measure something that's notoriously tricky to measure: how businesses affect our well-being and the environment.
Olsen calls her concept "impact accounting." and she thinks nonprofits, for-profits, foundations—any entity, really—that is trying to bake a social mission into its operations could benefit from it. She says her idea is to "get at what value (in a larger sense than financial only) is being created (or lost) by a given organization—what value for peoples' health, wealth for those other than shareholders, and the environment—and how effectively the organization is generating that value per dollar spent."
If your head is spinning, think of Olsen as an accountant. But rather than keeping track of a company's money, she tracks its social and environmental value. "Not everyone identifies as green or a social justice advocate," says Olsen. "But pretty much everybody also would like to know that their investments are secure. … Increasingly, doing things in a manner that ignores [social responsibility] turns out to be less stable financially and riskier. Sometimes you win big, but at what cost?"
Her San Francisco consulting firm, SVT Group, teaches workshops explaining how her discipline works, and it has created systems for measuring the environmental or social impact of about $2.5 billion worth of private equity, debt, and grants. Since she founded SVT 11 years ago, dozens of businesses and institutional investors have used her services, from startups to community banks to pension funds such as Calpers.
Now she's trying to turn her workshops into an online video course to increase accessibility. To fund the project, she's soliciting $10,000 in donations on crowdfunding site Indiegogo and has raised nearly one-third of the money so far (the campaign wraps up June 15). "We want to do what we can to make impact accounting standard practice worldwide," says Olsen. "If all businesses, and nonprofits, and governments, and the public can see the social and environmental value of a given product or [service], then they'll be able to make more informed decisions about where they want their money and time to go."
Scores of data analysis and rating outfits aim to be the arbiters of sustainability, but Olsen says her framework is different. The existing ratings, she contends, "don't tell us whether the planet or people are better or worse off as a result of this company's or nonprofit's existence."
The value she tracks "can be systematically measured and reported," she says. "Once it is being measured and reported en masse, then deeper and ultimately more informative ratings could be applied using that information. Without it, our view is that many ratings are really too imprecise to drive meaningful investment decisions or meaningful change, and may even be gamed."

The two squads will play a doubleheader on Friday at 1 p.m. and a single game on Saturday at 1 p.m. on Cormell Field.
During Saturday's contest, FMU will honor and recognize members of the 413th Chemical Company of the U.S. Army Reserves. All members of the unit, which has participated overseas in the country's War on Terror, and their family members will be admitted free on Saturday.
Francis Marion has won nine of its last 10 games, is 20-7-1 overall, and at 10-7-1 is tied for third in the PBC standings, one-half game behind second-place Kennesaw State University and two games behind first-place Lander University.
UNF is 21-8 overall and 7-5 in the PBC and is tied with FMU and USC Aiken for the Peach Belt's third spot. After opening its season 4-4, UNF has won 17 of its last 21 games, including its last six. The Ospreys are also 7-1 against NCAA Division I competition. North Florida leads the all-time series with Francis Marion 17-6, but the two squads have split their last eight meetings.
Freshman right-hander Dylan Owen (3-1 record, 1.98 earned run average) will be Francis Marion's probable game-one starter on Friday, while sophomore lefty Lee Tabor (6-1, 2.96) will toe the rubber for game two. Owen has allowed only one earned run in his last 26 innings.
FMU is 60-12-1 in its last 73 home games, and 13-7-1 in its last 21 games against nationally ranked opponents.
