Frost Free Spigot Repair
Hi i have a frost free spigot oustide thats hook up to my garden hose. it always lacks and i didnt know if i had to replace the whole thing or if i can just take it apart and replace a few o rings or whatever. is that even worth it, do they sell repair kits? how would you repair it if you can or do you just replace it? thank you
I am currently working on a frost proof garden spigot myself. I am looking to replace the whole unit. I found out I don't need to as a repair kit was locally avaialble for the anti-siphon valve, which is located on the top of the water valve. The kit was around $4 and super easy to replace and there is a schematic on the back of the package.
I didn't need it, but they offered a valve repair kit for around $7 which include any necessary washers, orings, valve stem/seat, etc. The kit looked almost universal for a variety of models, however manufacturer specific. I would look at your valve and figure out which manufacturer and do an online search. There are plenty of web-based plumbing outfits with parts and also online diagrams.
Mine is a Mansfield and readily avaialable at the local big box stores.
I haven't done a repair, however it looks like you need to remove the handle which gives access to a hex nut fitting that allows removal of the valve stem assembly. IMPORTANT to remember to shut off water supply somewhere upstream and then drain the line.
Good luck
Thank you for that info i will do that and try it out. hopefully it will be easier and cheaper then replacing the whole valve. ill let you know

The Legendary Neve 1073, Re-born for 500 Series
Heritage Audio designed the 1073/500 500 Series microphone preamplifier to be the most historically accurate reproduction of the legendary 1073 module for vintage Neve consoles. You get the exact same components, specifications, and construction techniques that made the original a mainstay in recording studios worldwide. The 1073/500 has up to 70dB of gain, selectable input impedance, and one of the sweetest EQs you've ever heard. If you've got a 500 Series chassis and a taste for vintage vibe, consider the Heritage Audio 1073/500 microphone preamplifier a must-have.
Heritage Audio 1073/500 500 Series Microphone Preamplifier at a Glance:
- Platinum sound as soon as you hit record
- Built to original specs for a true vintage re-creation
- Top-notch performance from both preamplifier and EQ
Talk to any engineer that's worked on a vintage Neve console - if you've got the right mics in front of the sources, just bring up the faders and your sound is mostly there. That's what you get with the Heritage Audio 1073/500. Think big, punchy, vibrant sound that seems to leap from your speakers. It's the sound that created countless hit albums, and you've got it on tap with the 1073/500 500 Series preamp/EQ module.Built to original specs for a true vintage re-creation
In fact, the only technical difference between the Heritage Audio 1073/500 and an original Neve module is the size - to get all the original components in the smaller 500 Series format, Heritage Audio had to make it three slots wide. Inside, you'll find the same transformers, dual-concentric switches, pushbuttons, and even the same PCB cards. So don't think the 1073/500 is another vintage emulation or copycat - it's a true 1073, re-born.Top-notch performance from both preamplifier and EQ
The 1073/500 packs 70dB of gain in its Class A mic preamp, perfect for ribbon mics and low-output dynamics. The sound is full, punchy, and gets incredibly vibrant when you push your signal levels. And the EQ is amazing too - high- and low-shelving EQs sport the classic Baxandall curves, which give an incredibly natural-sounding roll-off or boost for any material. And the sweepable mid-band EQ has a wide enough range to cover any task, from scooping mud out of your kick drum to beefing up your guitars at 700Hz.Heritage Audio 1073/500 500 Series Microphone Preamplifier Features:
- Incredibly accurate re-creation of the classic Neve 1073 console module
- For use with approved 500 Series chassis
- Class A mic preamp with 70dB of gain, plus a sweet-sounding 3-band EQ
- Class A line-level amplifier with 10dB of gain
- Low- and high-shelving EQs with Baxandall curves for smooth, natural-sounding response
- Sweepable mid-band EQ
- Designed with the same components, specifications, and construction techniques as original 1073 modules

Big oil industry executives are distancing themselves from BP today, telling a congressional panel they would not have drilled the well in the Gulf the way the British energy giant did.
USA TODAY's Julie Schmit says Rex Tillerson, CEO of ExxonMobile, testified that "a number of design standards" were not followed. "We would not have drilled the well the way they did," Tillerson says.
Likewise, Chevron's CEO, John Watson, told the House Energy and Commerce Subcommittee it appears that "not all standards … were in place."
The statements are the strongest from industry executives who face challenges to their plans to continue deep water drilling in the Gulf of Mexico.
The United States has put a temporary moratorium on such drilling while it investigates the BP oil spill.
Though the two executives said they would have used different drilling methods, committee chairman Rep. Henry Waxman, D-Calif., noted that their companies' oil spill response plans, on record with federal regulators, are no more complete than BP's and are "cookie-cutter" in design.

Curcumin Boosts Front-line Immune Response
Byron J. Richards, Board Certified Clinical Nutritionist
Listen to Byron Explain
Update Required To play the media you will need to either update your browser to a recent version or update your Flash plugin.
Researchers at Oregon State University have shown for the first time that curcumin can triple the output of ammunition used by your front-line immune troops (innate immunity) to combat bacterial, viral, and fungal infection.
One way your body defends you from invaders is by your front-line immune cells, and even non immune epithelial cells that line your digestive tract and sinuses, shooting a protein-peptide bullet called cathelicidin (cathelicidin antimicrobial peptide - CAMP). CAMP is a potent germ killer, a vital part of your defense against bacterial, viral, and fungal infection. It can kill invaders your body has no experience dealing with in the past and is therefore a vital part of your innate immune system.
In the past it has been recognized that vitamin D is needed for the normal production of CAMP, which is one reason low vitamin D status impairs efficient immune function. In the new study researchers discovered that curcumin could also stimulate CAMP production by a different mechanism than vitamin D.
Many people struggle with imbalanced digestive tracts and sinuses, wherein germ gangs achieve a toe hold and wreak havoc with health – often for many years. In these situations people's immune systems are not effective and front-line immune troops have "gone to sleep." Add to that the obvious issues of getting sick too often and catching everything that happens to be going around.
While curcumin is best known for its anti-inflammatory and cancer prevention properties, the fact that it is also a natural immune booster extends the reasons people may want to include it in their supplemental program as well as using it as a spice (turmeric) in food preparation.

It's the Bessel operator for now, but I will soon replace it with a

Now, how do I use it in DSolve?
So far I use
DSolve[S''[r] + 1/r S'[r] + (1 - m^2/r^2) S[r] == 0, S[r], r]
but that's not a good solution because I have to different expressions
for the same thing. I want to used B only.

* Freeze warning through mid-morning | Freeze watch tonight *
Today's Daily Digit
A somewhat subjective rating of the day's weather, on a scale of 1 to 10.
Express Forecast
Today: Mostly sunny and cold. Highs: Near 50 to low 50s.
Tonight: Partly to mostly clear. Lows: 30s.
Tomorrow: Mostly sunny, a bit warmer. Highs: Near 60.
Like a bad dream, winter 2013-2014 is back with a brief period of sleet and snow last evening, and temperatures near to below freezing early this morning with a breeze to boot. The freezing mark is back in play again tonight before we struggle back toward spring tomorrow into the weekend. It's a mostly dry forecast throughout, except for a chance of showers Friday night.
Temperature Map
Today (Wednesday): Winter is back with early-morning lows in the mid-20s to low 30s. A lingering breeze near 15 mph from the northwest (with some higher gusts) keeps wind chills in the 20s to low 30s through much of the morning. Despite plenty of sun, highs only reach near 50 to the low 50s with lighter afternoon winds. That's 10-15 degrees below average, and frankly kind of annoying after our recent warmth. Confidence: High
Tonight: Not as cold as last night under partly to mostly clear skies. But evening readings dropping through the 40s are plenty cool. And overnight lows ranging through the 30s are still well below normal. Watch out in the suburbs, especially the north and west ones, where it's it's another night to protect sensitive plants from temperatures flirting with freezing or a touch below. Confidence: High
For related traffic news, check out Dr. Gridlock. Keep reading for the forecast through the weekend…
Tomorrow (Thursday): We're still on the cool side for mid-April, especially in the morning as temperatures rise into the 40s. But mostly sunny skies and afternoon highs near 60 should win at least some applause. Winds are not too much of a factor, around 10 mph from the east-southeast. Confidence: High
Tomorrow night: High pressure maintains enough influence to keep conditions calm but still somewhat cool. Evening temperatures fall through the 50s before overnight lows bottom in the mid-to-upper 30s in the outer suburbs to low 40s downtown. Confidence: Medium-High
We're still stuck with a wedge of cooler air over the area on Friday. And increasing clouds may even keep some spots cooler than Thursday. Highs probably max out in the upper 50s to near 60 with a light but cool breeze from the east. Friday night could see considerable clouds and a few showers (40% chance) with lows in the 40s back to near average. Confidence: Medium
Can't rule out a shower or two Saturday morning. Otherwise the weekend looks quite nice with partly to mostly sunny skies, Saturday and Sunday highs in the 60s, and Saturday night lows in the 40s. Confidence: Medium
(Forecast completed overnight)

We discuss the shifting models of sex testing used by the International Olympic Committee, efforts to enforce the male female binary, and assumptions about fair play and the natural body.
In this episode, we talk with Holly Thorpe about her excellent book Snowboarding Bodies in Theory and Practice. We discuss the use of theory to study physical practice, the rapid growth of the sport, gender relations, marketing, the snowboarding body, and writing about sports for different audiences.
This week we are joined by David J. Leonard, professor of Critical Culture, Gender, & Race Studies at Washington State University and author of After Artest: The NBA and the Assault on Blackness. We discuss the significance of Jason Collins's article in Sports Illustrated announcing that he is gay, the media's reaction to him coming out, and sport as a site key site for the performance of gender and sexuality.
This week we talk with Joshua I. Newman and Michael Giardina about their recent book [Sport, Spectacle, and NASCAR Nation: Consumption and the Cultural Politics of Neoliberalism]. Our conversation covers topics including the whiteness of stock car racing, religion and rebellion at the race track, and the production and consumption of Southern identity. We also discuss the value of researching NASCAR, sports, and other popular culture activities.
This episode, new Office Hours contributor David Phillippi interviews Francesco Duina about his book, Winning: Reflections on an American Obsession. Topics include competition in sports, raising children, and comparing America's culture of competition with Denmark. What are we trying to gain by being so competitive? And are we getting it? Listen in to find out.
This episode, we talk with the authors of two recent Contexts features on higher education. We speak to Michael Hout about his Winter 2009 "One Thing I Know" column (which you can read online in its entirety here), and then William Beaver tells us about his article, A Matter of Degrees, from our Spring 2009 issue.
Kristin Haltinner drops by again to share a discovery about women rugby players.
What happens to those exonerated of crimes they didn't commit? Do they receive multi-million dollar settlements and go back to their normal lives as popular TV shows suggest? Unfortunately, most exonerees do not fare so well. In this episode, we talk with Saundra D. Westervelt and Kimberly J. Cook about their article, Coping with Innocence After Death Row, from our Fall 2008 issue.
Contexts grad board member John Sullivan also stops by to share not just one, but two discoveries about soccer hooligans.

I entered St. Lawrence knowing that I wanted to focus my studies on Southeast Asia, particularly Indonesia. I had been teaching myself the language for about a year and wanted to go to Indonesia on a study abroad trip. In the fall of my sophomore year, I enrolled at Gadjah Mada University in Yogyakarta, Indonesia, where I spent a semester immersing myself in the Indonesian and Javanese languages, learning to perform traditional dances, making batik scarves, and playing games with my two-and-a-half year old host sister, Siti. After my return, I have been avidly researching the archaeology of Southeast Asia, particularly Indonesia, in the hopes of understanding ancient exchange networks in the region. I recently traveled back to Indonesia and Malaysia on a grant from the Freeman Foundation and am now completing an Honors thesis discussing Bronze Age relations between South and Southeast Asia.

The 2014 Berlin Espionage Scandal And NSA Surveillance Of German Citizens
US-German Relations in the Wake of NSA Surveillance of German Citizens
"Soon, the soccer after-party and media shindigs will be over, and Berlin gets sober again. German politicians from left and right are trenching in for a US revenge. It won't be pretty. Ask any senior official or diplomat from Vietnam, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Cuba, Argentina, Brazil, Japan, China, or any place really, what happened when their governments tackled US interests: economic penalties, political manipulations, and personal defamations."

There is a sociological concept called the "East-West dichotomy
Likewise, the Slavic territories (Russia, Eastern Europe) and the Middle East were not mentioned enough in the book, partly for limited time and research, but also because those cultures either allied with the West or the East; never did they command or constitute a hemisphere of their own. Islam is largely considered an Oriental cultural system, while Russian-Orthodox is considered an Occidental cultural system respectively. I am well aware that these are generalizations (which are inevitable in philosophy), and that there are plenty of Western elements in Islam (it is, after all, an Abrahamic, monotheistic religion) borrowing heavily from the Judaic-Christian tradition; and likewise that a case could be made for the Slavs, because of their geographical destiny, to be thinking people of the East, which by their historical loyalty to Christianity and their fondness of the Greco-Hellenic tradition they are clearly not.
In the end, however, we still talk about "the East" and "the West", and all people, no matter from which part of the world, see themselves as belonging (or leaning toward) either the Eastern hemisphere or the Western hemisphere; while someone who claimed he belonged to nowhere or fell in between, I'm afraid, has no meaningful category to hold onto.
"Politically-minded people and others express it when they allude to "the West", "Western ideas" or make statements about the "East", or "Eastern philosophy". Basically, the East-West dichotomy is used to identify and categorize all world cultures and political systems by way of a single, rigid, binary socio-political model. Dividing the world by who and what is "Western" & "Eastern." Thorsten J. Pattberg reveals his own flawed reasoning with such an over-simplied deduction of the world, in his book The East-West Dichotomy." --Jay Walker, Love Hate Black White

Baidu works for me
BAIDU VS GOOGLE - Advantages and Disadvantages
BEIJING – Baidu (百度), the Chinese 'Search Engine', is virtually unknown in the West; and it is certainly less technologically advanced and thorough than the US rival and global monopoly: Google (some of Baidu's functions are legal imitations of Google's).
Still, from an individual point of view (your author writes a lot about China-related topics and also under a Chinese name –裴德思), Google can be very limited, almost annoyingly so with so many US junk-sites floating on top of most search inquiries, and it is universally biased against Chinese (and other foreign) content. That makes sense. Google is after all a US enterprise and defends US interests. Consequently, if you search, say, for a China news item on Google, it will always offer you US media and websites in the top 10 results.
United States, Empire, Google
US pages, brands, names, and individuals are all privileged on Google's search results, and so are Google's subsidies such as Wikipedia and Youtube. As they say, if it looks like a syndicate, it probably is one. On top of this, Google is naturally favoring its US peers, internet monopolies in their own right, in particular US social networks and platforms such as Facebook, Amazon, Academia, Ebay, Linkedin, Flickr, Big Think, Huffington Post, Tumblr, Vimeo, Instagram, and many more. The result is that other cultures and foreign views are marginalized or even ruthlessly suppressed (or at least delegated to the bottom of your search results anyway).
Access to China Knowledge
Therefore, it is refreshing to (at least) have this option of using an alternative Chinese Search engine that may be limited and biased in its own rights, alright, but still spares you most US junk-sites. This feels especially privileged since other nations such as France, Germany, or the UK have already been colonized by Google & Co., and thus offer little or no originality. Worse, it has now become apparent that the US government in fact abuses its (subsidized) internet monopolies and illegally collects the data of all users who apply to US internet services -even if those countries are close allies like Germany.
Anyway, if you don't already know, you will be surprised to see how different some of the search results on Baidu and Google are; in fact, I would always recommend anyone working with China to regularly use Baidu –especially if searching for Chinese people, brands, information, and news.
That said, Baidu is successful mostly because the Chinese government banned or restricted Google and most of the above-mentioned US internet monopolies in China. The Chinese have good reasons for this. The authorities hope to limit US influence on world knowledge and how it is presented.
One search engine to fit all nations
Here's the point. Imagine you are Chinese person in China trying to find information and the top 10 search results are all from US-sponsored corporations (again: Twitter, Facebook, Linkedin, Wikipedia, Wikihow, IMD, Academia, BooksGoogle, Answers, Amazon, Ebay... you name it). In effect, Google is helping all US conglomerates and corporate media pushing and spamming their electronic presence into Asia, even if it's not in the local language, because Google and its partners (including the US government) all profit immensely from this form of digital patronage and de facto cultural imperialism.
On the other hand, a quick search on Baidu thankfully omits (most of) the US-spam and shows Chinese websites that are (sadly) mostly completely unheard of in the West -sites like Baike, Wenku, Douban, Zhidao, 163, Wenwen, Docin, Sina, Aisixiang and many others. It feels liberating to look at a world not yet perverted by stars and stripes. [Example: 杜维明]
The Chinese fear of a US world monopoly on knowledge is understandable and very real, and China and Baidu are trying to dodge a fierce stand-off with Google that for now they couldn't possibly win.

A look back at what happened this weekend in the Big East Conference:
What we learned: Cincinnati suffered a pair of critical losses in one game. West Virginia is alive again in the conference race, but so is almost everyone else in the league. Louisville's hot streak came to a halt, and South Florida is finally in the conference win column.
Geno Smith passed for 372 yards, and Eian Smith blocked Tony Miliano's game-tying field-goal attempt in the closing seconds to secure a 24-21 victory for WVU (7-3, 3-2), handing the Bearcats (7-2, 3-1) their first conference loss. UC is still in first place, but five teams are within one game in the loss column of the conference lead heading into the last three weeks of the season. However, a bigger concern for the Bearcats is the status of star quarterback Zach Collaros.
Collaros suffered a broken ankle and watched the rest of the game on crutches. Backup Munchie Legaux replaced him and played well, and coach Butch Jones said he and the team have confidence in him with Collaros out of the lineup until at least a bowl game.
Pitt got its first road win under new coach Todd Graham when the Panthers (5-5, 3-2) ended Louisville's three-game winning streak 21-14. After showing some signs of life recently, the offense for the Cardinals (5-5, 3-2) again struggled. UL had only seven points until the last 12 seconds of the game.
B.J. Daniels had a big Friday night for USF (5-4, 1-4), passing for 254 yards and running for 117 as the Bulls (5-4, 1-4) broke a four-game losing streak by whipping Syracuse (5-5, 1-4) 37-17.
Top performance: It sometimes seems as if Mohamed Sanu is all Rutgers (7-3, 3-2) has on offense, but he's helped keep the Scarlet Knights in the thick of the league race. In Saturday's 27-12 non-conference victory against Army, Sanu had 13 catches for 129 yards, enabling him to already break the league single-season reception record, He now 93, one more than the mark set by Larry Fitzgerald of Pittsburgh in 2003. With Sanu having two regular-season games left plus a bowl, the new record could be out of sight by the end of the year.
Biggest disappointment: Three weeks ago, Syracuse was entertaining dreams of a BCS bid, but the Orange have crashed to three consecutive defeats with tons of penalties and dropped passes along the way. Friday's 20-point home loss to a USF team that hadn't won a game since Sept. 24 was the latest step backward in coach Doug Marrone's third year.
Looking ahead: The league race is really heating up, and Cincinnati goes to Rutgers with first place on the line. Louisville travels to Connecticut (4-5, 2-2), and USF steps out conference play for a Sunshine State battle with Miami (Fla.).

Ich fand das ganz große Glück im Zug nach Ambalangoda
18.08.2009 - 18.08.2009
Ok, Colombo is the hell of a shit. It's filthy, really fuckin filthy...It' so filthy that the litter sickens at itself. Well you must not underestimate it though! It's worth seing it but one night is definetily enough for the first time as you anyway can return later. So I decided to go to Bentota. On my journey down there I realised that this place might be, say....not so special and to rough out of the season. So I wanted to drop off the train just one station later as a local guy I asked told me, that there is a station as well. Anyway we did stop there, but there was no station. Thinking of just dropping off the train and crossing the railway through the grass it started alraedy moving. Ok that's the hell of a chance just to do it Western style. Jumping off a driving train. Who has not ever wanted to do it? But than I said. hey let's see where I can get off next time. So I went to Ambalangoda where I wanted to go anyway.

Friday, July 2, 1999
"Whenever two people meet, there are really six people present. There is each man as he sees himself, each man as the other person sees him, and each man as he really is." -- William James
ConAgra Meets Estimates
Omaha-based food-producing giant ConAgra (NYSE: CAG) reported fiscal fourth-quarter earnings of $0.41 a share before charges, up 14% from $0.36 a year ago and in line with analysts' expectations. The company said it is "committed to its 14% long-term trendline growth objective and... plans double-digit earnings per share growth in fiscal year 2000."
ConAgra closed out the fiscal year with EPS of $1.46, up from $1.35 in 1998, despite a 3% drop in EPS in the first half of the year -- EPS in the second half bounced back and grew some 20% before charges. The year marked the 19th straight year the company has increased earnings. In those 19 years, EPS, excluding charges, grew at a 14.6% average annual rate.
In May, ConAgra announced its "Operation Overdrive" initiative, designed to improve operations and to leverage its strengths across its various food businesses. The effort seeks to improve earnings by taking advantage of company-wide sourcing opportunities, combining manufacturing and distribution operations, and targeting customer-focused selling and service opportunities.

News To Go
The U.S. House of Representatives passed a bill that would overhaul the financial-services industry, lifting barriers now separating banks, brokerage firms, and insurance companies. The Senate passed a similar bill in May, and the two versions must be reconciled before legislation can be signed into law by the president. The pending legislation would allow brokerage firms and insurers to compete with banks on a full range of financial services, allowing for more mergers like the Citigroup-Travelers deal last year. The bill also would allow Citigroup (NYSE: C) more freedom in operating its Travelers insurance business and its Salomon Smith Barney brokerage firm.
As the telco world turns, telecommunications company US WEST (NYSE: USW) announced that its board has authorized the company's management and advisers to engage in talks with Qwest Communications International (Nasdaq: QWST) regarding Qwest's revised merger proposal. Rival bidder Global Crossing (Nasdaq: GBLX) consented to the discussions, and US WEST's merger agreement with Global Crossing remains intact. Stay tuned.
Casino and resorts operator Mirage Resorts (NYSE: MIR) warned that it expects second-quarter earnings of about $0.07 to $0.10 a share. That would be significantly short of analysts' mean estimate of $0.24 and the year-ago figure of $0.18 per share. The company blamed the shortfall on "an unusually low company-wide table games win percentage; the opening of Beau Rivage in Biloxi, Mississippi; a major room refurbishment project at its Treasure Island resort; and the opening of two new competitors in the Las Vegas market."
Yearbooks, class rings, and school photography company Jostens Inc. (NYSE: JOS) said that full-year 1999 earnings per share may fall below analysts' current expectations of $1.60 to $1.67 and come in between $1.55 and $1.65 a share. For the second quarter, the company anticipates sales and net earnings to be "about even" with last year. The company had previously predicted an increase in Q2 sales and net earnings.
Calendars and organizers maker Day Runner Inc. (Nasdaq: DAYR) warned that it expects a loss of approximately $1.6 million to $2.2 million, or $0.14 to $0.18 a share, for its fiscal fourth quarter ended June 30. That compares with net earnings of about $5 million, or $0.39 a share, for the year-ago quarter. The company announced that it will seek strategic alternatives to maximize stockholder value, which may include "new equity partners, joint ventures, asset sales, additional financing and/or a potential sale of the company."
The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) filed a class-action suit against Venator Group (NYSE: Z), formerly known as Woolworth, for allegedly firing 300 to 400 older workers (meaning over the age of 40) illegally and replacing them with younger ones. The suit seeks millions of dollars on behalf of former Woolworth's employees throughout the country.

|Inconsistency Will Continue For Bruins Unless A Change Is Made
We're now officially past the halfway point of the season, and things are still fairly close. It's looking more and more like we'll see the Heat and Celtics in the first round, but other than that, who knows? The top of the West remains volatile, as does a large swath of the East. Teams could jump all over the place, and even without the best seed, it's not out of the questions to see some of those lesser teams pull off the win. Just about anything could still happen, so let's look at what would happen if the playoffs started as of Wednesday, January 30 before the day's games:
The Rockets have won three in a row, but their recovery still has a long way to go. That's especially true with the Spurs on an eight-game tear.
The Jazz have been good lately, with their low seed letting them fly under the radar. Still, Oklahoma City has been just as good. And they have plenty of top-tier talent and a much better road record as well.
Denver has won four straight, while Los Angeles is falling out of the running for #1. Both teams are superb at home, but Denver is just 10-15 on the road. Still, with a home win to start their streak against the Thunder, the Nuggets are easily capable of riding their wave of momentum to the next round.
Neither team has changed their positioning much in the past week, though Golden State will have to keep pace with Denver to avoid dropping a spot in the next week. If the Grizzlies can maintain their slot long enough to rest their starters at season's end, they should be a good challenge, but as of now, with Andrew Bogut back no less, the Warriors are a likable team.
Boston may have beaten Miami on Sunday, but it was easily a Pyrrhic victory with the news that Rajon Rondo is done for the season. If Boston wasn't considered hopeless against Miami before, they certainly are now.
Milwaukee is poised to move ahead a spot or two in the crowded East, but New York is still 3.5 games ahead. New York has been playing .500 ball lately, but they have been competitive in most of the games. New York still has a bit of an advantage, but a delicate one that could disappear in an instant if they're not careful.
Chicago has done very well to gain themselves the #3 spot, while Atlanta has been another .500 team. The Hawks are just too precarious of a team right now, especially with a Derrick Rose return likely just a matter of a few weeks now.
All of a sudden, Indiana has lost three in a row. It has been on a West-coast road trip, but the Pacers had ample rest in between. The Nets recently snapped a two-game losing streak, only their second and third losses in all of January. Losing too many games in a row, no matter the circumstances, can do major damage to confidence, something that wouldn't fare well for Indiana.

Canada needs a new drug policy? This blog will explore some of the reasons why and some of the new directions that we need to consider to better address drug problems in our communities. There is ample evidence that in a post globalization world and at a time of great change the institutions put in place 50 to 100 years ago to address drug problems in our communities may have come to the end of their life cycle. As this becomes more apparent new ideas and approaches are materializing from around the world and Canada could play a significant leadership role in facilitating innovation and change in drug policy. It could save a lot of lives, reduce a great deal of disease, suffering and crime and of course save a lot of tax dollars.
Transformation, however, will not start in Ottawa. Canada's drug policies will only begin to change and become more effective when individuals in communities start to connect the dots between drug problems in their family or neighbourhood or town or city and how current approaches actually prevent positive outcomes. Addiction is a public health issue and we need comprehensive health approaches to be available for those that develop drug problems. Organized crime is a criminal justice issue and we need effective and timely approaches to deal with these kinds of criminals.
The blog will explore ideas that are emerging globally that are having a remarkably positive impact on the health of individuals and communities and many ideas that show great promise if implemented. Consensus is growing that the criminalization of people who use drugs is counter-productive to helping individuals and communities come to grips with problem drug use or drug addiction. Criminalization pushes individuals away from engagement in community towards the margins of society, increasing isolation and disconnection. A compassionate public health and community building approach reverses this process and provides opportunities for individuals struggling with addiction to regain a sense of meaningful involvement in community. Internationally there is an increased understanding of the inter-relationship of global economic forces and the proliferation of drug problems across societies that demands a more complex analysis than in the past.
Some jurisdictions are embracing drug strategies based on scientific evidence, public health, human rights and social inclusion in order to better address the complexities that the sale and use of mood altering substances presents for society. Several jurisdictions have decriminalized drugs as a way of 'walking the talk' of problem drug use being a public health issue as opposed to a problem for the police and the criminal justice system. I and many others believe that all drugs should be regulated and controlled in order to minimize organized crime involvement in the drug trade and allow for the development of a public health approach to drug problems. But regulating these substances is just one of the shifts in policy that could dramatically improve the situation in our communities. More importantly it is imperative that we begin to acknowledge and understand the social and economic forces that drive individuals to take refuge in substance use, the drug trade, or gang involvement – the forces that work against a greater connectedness among people and engagement in community life.
Globally a vigorous discussion is taking place about the drug problem, addiction, crime and corruption and the drug war. Canada needs to engage in this discussion. Canadian politicians all to often default to sound bites that they think will satisfy the voters rather than take the leadership necessary to engage Canadians in dialogue about the roots of our drug problems or the benefits that drugs can offer to many. Those who cast the ballots could vote for politicians who take leadership on these complex issues that affect our communities rather than trumpet the tired rhetoric of the drug war. Vancouver has been lucky to have municipal leaders (the last four Mayors have been advocates of drug policy reform) that do not shy away from a new discussion on drugs, addiction, mental health and community. We hope other politicians have taken note. People have used psychoactive substances since the dawn of time and this will continue to be a part of human culture. This blog is a small contribution to the fascinating dialogue taking place around the world about these issues.

CAIRO, (Xinhua): Egyptian ousted President Hosni Mubarak appeared at court in Cairo for the first session of his retrial over charges of responsibility for killing protestors and corruption, state TV reported on Saturday.
Mubarak's two sons Alaa and Gamal, along with former interior minister Habib al-Adli and top former police officials appeared inside the dock before the ex-president entered the courtroom on a chair.
Before the session kicked off, some skirmishes took place between lawyers of Mubarak and his men and their opponents who demanded Mubarak's execution, causing a state of disorder inside the courtroom.
The session started around 10:20 a.m. (0820 GMT) and presiding Judge Mahmoud Kamel al-Rashidi asked Mubarak if he approves the presence of some volunteer Kuwaiti lawyers who wanted to join the session and defend him.
"I refer the issue to my lawyer Farid al-Deeb," Mubarak replied.
For his part, Deeb declined the Kuwaiti lawyers' initiative and thanked them.

THIBODAUX — Every year is different, and every team has a different personality.
THIBODAUX — Every year is different, and every team has a different personality.
It is something E.D. White Catholic coach Mary Cavell said she has told her team this season.
But for the Lady Cardinals, this season presents a familiar scenario: Making yet another trip to the state volleyball tournament at the Pontchartrain Center in Kenner.
The No. 2 seeded Lady Cardinals swept No. 18 Lakeshore, 25-11, 25-9, 25-16 in a Division III regional playoff match on Monday.
Next up for the Lady Cardinals is a quarterfinal match against No. 7 St. Michael's at 6:45 p.m. Thursday at the Pontchartrain Center.
"This group of seniors, having 10 of them … it's just been a good bunch of girls who have supported each other and are very selfless," Cavell said. "They set as a goal for themselves to get back to that top again and bring back a state championship. They've got one (game) down and three (games) to go, is how they put it."
The Lady Cardinals were eliminated in last year's Division III semifinals, but won the state championship in 2008 after six consecutive seasons finishing as the state runner-up.
On Monday, the Lady Cardinals' experienced roster was too much for Lakeshore, a school participating in its first year of Louisiana High School Athletic Association competition.
E.D. White led throughout both Games 1 and 2.
E.D. White controlled the first game from the start, turning a 2-1 lead into an 11-3 advantage, and led by as many as 15 points before the game ended on a Lakeshore service error.
In Game 2, the Lady Cardinals led 5-0 and 12-3, and the closest Lakeshore got was 15-5.
Abby Filce's kill ended the second game, 25-9.
Filce had match highs in kills (15) and blocks (11) while also recording an ace.
Lakeshore's only lead came after an E.D. White error to begin Game 3, but the Lady Cardinals quickly responded, rallying to take a 5-1 lead on Filce's kill.
E.D. White never gave up that lead, with Lakeshore cutting it to 18-14 only after the Lady Cardinals started to play backups.
With the state tournament coming next, Cavell said it is important that her team focus only on its next game.
"You just have to make sure it's one game a time. Have fun playing that game, and don't think ahead," Cavell said. "These girls have had that experience and they know how it is."
Besides Filce, other leaders for E.D. White were Andree Waguespack (seven kills), Whitney Babin (nine blocks), Caroline Robichaux (six digs), Shay Rivere (four digs, two aces) and Jessica Cedotal (36 assists).
Cavell also praised Rivere and Waguespack's serve receiving, adding that "a lot of times people don't see that stat," but stressing its importance to her team running its offense.

St. John USVI is one of my favorite Caribbean islands because you really feel like you are far away on an island with just a beach. Only accessible by boat or ferry, it's smaller than most of the other Virgin Islands with less hustle and bustle. In fact, you don't need a car – you can just hitch a ride with a passerby to hop from beach to beach. What sets it apart from the "just another beach" destinations is that it also has absolutely wonderful restaurants. The food is amazing, and you dine in these magnificent settings with just crystal clear aquamarine Caribbean waters as the backdrop. Great food, beautiful views and nice, laid back atmosphere is my kind of heaven.
There are two fabulous hotels on St. John, Caneel Bay and The Westin. You really can't go wrong with either one. However, I really like The Westin because it's remote enough to feel like you are on a private resort but close enough to get to town and the restaurants. Caneel Bay is great also, but it's on the other side of the island making it a bit less accessible. However, the restaurant at Caneel Bay is a must-dine. The Equator is set up at the top of the 18th century sugar mill ruins. You dine overlooking Caneel Bay within the ruins in a circular, 360 degree outdoor structure. The food is fantastic, local Caribbean fair with lots of fresh seafood. Sitting on top of an old sugar mill watching the sun set over St. Thomas in the distance is about as romantic an evening you can hope for on your Caribbean vacation.
There are so many great restaurants on St. John – it's really a diner's haven for tasty dishes amidst perfect views of the Caribbean. I could list them all out but, instead, I'll just highlight my favorite that could be easily missed if you are not in the know. Asolare is hands down the most beautiful restaurant on the island. It's set up on a cliff overlooking Cruz Bay with only about ten tables on a tiny balcony. Asolare is the spot to really enjoy a Caribbean sunset in style. The views will take your breath away. It's almost hard to pull yourself away from the table which is ok because you can stay as long as you like. Asolare in Greek means "the leisurely passing of time without purpose". So order a nice glass of wine and get lost in the views. The menu changes often as the chefs focus on serving the freshest ingredients, all locally sourced, with an Asian Fusion flair. This is a dining experience you won't forget on several levels – from the views to the ambience to the food.
Besides the beaches and the restaurants, St. John also has great beach bars. Not usually something that I find remarkable, but for a real Caribbean island vacation, you can't leave without frequenting the tiki huts right on the beach. I don't know what they put in them to make them so amazing but the fresh peach daiquiris with local Caribbean rum are heavenly. There is nothing like cooling off in the shade with your toes in the sand sipping a frozen peach daiquiri made fresh to order.
With its authentic island appeal, laid back ambience, and delicious food, St. John is a perfect destination to soak up the Caribbean sun.

Pushes NaNs to the bottom of each column of X.
0 Downloads
Updated 30 Apr 2013
X = pushnans(X,truncate)
Pushes nans to the bottom of each column of X. It should be pretty fast.
The second input is an optional flag. If true, the whole-nan rows at the bottom of X are removed.
Two slightly different algorithms are implemented in the function together with a simple check to select the faster version: which is faster depends on what fraction of the input matrix is non-NaN.
Note that only limited testing has been done - please report problems below. I would also be interested to hear if there are more efficient ways of implementing this.
thanks :) I'm definitely not disappointed... just curious! I agree that sometimes it is fulfilling to code up something spontaneously without having a solid application for it, but knowing that it might be useful in the future.
Sorry to disappoint, but I think you're probably more or less right. The situation in which I thought the function would be useful turned out to be entirely avoidable, after much TLC to the script in question (wading through someone else's lazy coding).
Actually I wrote the function after I'd already realised it wasn't needed, I was just curious to see how it could be done neatly and reckoned there may occasionally be a need for it.
I'm curious what this script would be used for? it's usually pretty easy to index the NaNs and then manipulate them that way, and given that indices usually have meaning, I'm wondering why I'd want to push the NaNs to the bottom and corrupt the ordering. Thanks!

There was much speculation as to the results of the local and EU elections last month, with most commentators predicting that significant numbers would vote for right-wing parties. They were nothing if not correct.
In the local council elections, the Liberal Democrats were obliterated. Whilst Labour increased its number of councillors by 330, UKIP now has 128 seats (although, crucially, it does not have control of any council).
Across Europe, in the European Parliament elections, France's National Front – a party whose founder, Jean-Marie Le Pen, recently said that Ebola virus could 'solve immigration problems' – won 25% of the vote; hugely disappointing for a country which, only two years ago, elected a socialist President.
The far-right Greek party, Golden Dawn, now has three MEPs following a 9% share of the vote. UKIP won 27% of the British vote, beating all expectations. The far-right also came first in Denmark and Austria and won over 15% of votes in Hungary. Against a general background of diminishing voter turnouts, 43% of Europeans used their ballot papers. It made for depressing viewing and, in the days following the results, depressing reading in the papers.
We now have a European Parliament which houses Members who have openly defamed those from ethnic and religious minorities. Morten Messerschmidt has a conviction for linking multicultural society to rape and forced marriage. Jussi Halla-aho has been convicted for his assertion that Islam 'reveres paedophilia'.
Although each of these parties is ostensibly anti-Europe, Euroskepticism is often twinned with flagrant racism and fear of 'the other'. Demonisation of 'the other' – in this case Romanians trying to make something of their lives – was a major part of the UKIP campaign, as it has been part of every extreme ideology since the dawn of time. As a nation and a continent, we appear to have bought into this ideology.
I don't believe that either Britain or Europe is suddenly populated by racists, but I do think that we are frightened and looking for someone to blame. Millions of people are still feeling the effects of the economic downturn and they are looking for someone to blame. We should be blaming the bankers who caused the crash or the politicians who allowed it to happen, but we have been rather spectacularly hoodwinked.
The racism that lies dormant within each and every one of us has been ignited. Interestingly, the areas of the UK which are most ethnically diverse – such as London – received almost no UKIP support. Racially homogenous areas were much more likely to vote for Farage et al. What this suggests is that those people who know ethnic minorities are not taken in by the lies being spread by the media machine. In contrast, ignorance, unsurprisingly, is associated with fear, and that fear manifests itself in what appears to be racism.
The election results were depressing, have no doubt; and there are problems, of course. But the Britain I know and love is not a nation of racists. It is simply a country of frightened people who have been taken in and manipulated.

What is involved in rebuilding rods?
The title says it all, how do you rebuild them? What is involved here?
connecting rods?
connecting rod bottom ends can stretch and distort at high loads and rpm's. If there is too much crankshaft end play the surface can be rounded instead of flat in that direction. the rebuild process is to machine the flat connecting surface, then bolt the pieces together and torque. that then makes the hole a modified oval, then machine the hole round to the correct size. the piston end on some rods have a bushing that can be replaced then machined to size, , also the rod can be twisted, and requires straightening, this machine work can shorten the center to center length which cannot be corrected. removing material can effect balance so that is the next step in a performance engine.
All the above. Plus I magnaflux and shot peen them. No use rebuilding a cracked rod.
ive found, that often by the time you pay to have all that done, unless you have some really special con. rods, its not much more to just go buy new ones
what he said
do you mean "re-sizing" them for say, ARP bolts?. i have discovered that rather than using arp bolt$ and paying more big bucks to re-size the rods (required), that it is waaaaaay better to just buy new stock rod bolts, and use them, then you dont have to resize the rods. you would be , i think, better off buying cheap new rods than going the arp route, right BobCRman?????? hey dude!!! :welcome:
Sorry, but ANYTIME you disturb rod bolts, such as installing new stock ones or aftermkt. You are pressing a different shape into the bolt hole. Re-sizing is required. Most used rods are going to be out of round anyways..
So if they machine metal off the rod to restore a flat surface and make the lower rod journal round...doesn't that make an already used rod even weaker?
Good point about throwing the engine balance off...sounds like buying new rods is the way to go!
because my math includes hanging pistons.
so if you buy new rods, you can get floating pin and assemble them yourself :thumbup:
i would rather spend my money on new upgraded parts, then pay someone else to do a bunch of labor on older stressed out stuff (but this only applies to, original low perf., parts) :thumbup:
Yes, my 427 has pressed pins. I guess they're good enough for me, as it dynos at around 465hp, and it's been 10 yrs. of fun since I rebuilt it. I suppose it may go any day now. :)
not like i need to verify anything you have to say bob, but my machinist said the same thing as you. in jim hands book he said you wouldnt have to. but regardless, you need to check them and most of the time, as i understand it now, you will have to resize them anyway, even with a stock bolt.

Undereye Concealer
I probably asked this before but I can't find it. Recommendations for a good undereye concealer to cover circles? I'm really pale and have some light bluish circles appearing under my eyes.
Sent from my DROID RAZR using CurlTalk App
I use the Quick Correcter from Clinique in the lightest shade they have. It's amazing! I'm fair-skinned and my undereye circles are rather dark, but this concealer really does its job and hides them amazingly. It's a nice consistency and easy to blend, and I've never had any issues with clogged pores or sensitive skin.
YSL Touche Eclat is the gold standard in this category, but i've heard REALLY good things about Benefit's concealing products. they have 5 or 6 and you do have to try them out to see which one would work best.
I will check those out. I have used a couple Clinique ones before but not sure about that one. I will look at Benefit too. Thanks!
Sent from my DROID RAZR using CurlTalk App
Kevyn Aucoin, hands down for coverage
I use a Concealer by Vera Moore in shade "deep"...my cousin is a professional make-up artist and she put me on to it! I'm very happy with it ;D
i love the mac pro longwear concealer
i apply it with my sigma tapered concealer brush and sometimes for perfection buff it with my sephora airbrush concealer brush
the product and the tools are what gets the best result, one without the other and i never got great under eye coverage.
I love benefits erase paste for a brightening effect, I use makeup forevers hd one that comes in the twist tube at times. I also love Macs pro longwear one. I have heard great things about YSL touché eclat but I havent bought it myself. I cant bring myself to spend that much! The nice thing with the benefit erase paste and prob many others at sephora you can get samples enough to last a while. The benefit erase paste you only need a tiny tiny bit so itll last a long time. I tap it on with my finger for the body heat to help emulsify it then I use a beauty blender dupe (london soho) and dampen it and pat it over it till its blended. hth :)
