In the most recent quarter, Apple reported gross margin of 37.9%, down from 38.6% year-over-year. Meantime, Tesla's gross margin came in at 23.9% alongside the following explanation:
Gross margin for the three months ended September 30, 2013 was 23.9%, a slight decrease from 24.8% for the three months ended June 30, 2013, as a result of significantly lower sales of regulatory credits, partially offset by continued Model S cost improvements and manufacturing and supply chain efficiencies, an increased average selling price due to the start of European deliveries, as well as a higher mix of 85 kWh battery packs and other options.
Too many ifs, ands and buts Apple has no business -- or need -- to take on.
The moment Apple gets too cute -- buying Tesla or doing some over-the-top health-focused wearable qualifies IMO -- is the moment you worry. Success at Apple isn't easy, however it is a relatively straightforward proposition: Produce devices your customers upgrade every year or two. Make them sticky thanks, in part, to attendant (and improving) software and services, aka features.
This leads to the "however" that led off this article.
On the surface, it's telling that General Motors (GM) decided to feature Eyes-Free Siri on the commercial it's running for the Chevrolet Equinox.
These spots have run prime-time during the Olympics on NBC. They intrigued me so much that I called up my contact at GM, who set me up with a test drive of an Eyes-Free Siri-equipped Chevy vehicle, which I will take possession of next Tuesday. I'll drive the vehicle around for a week, experience Siri compatibility and report back both in print and video.
Though I'm not sure how much control Apple has over GM's use of Siri in advertising (intuitively I would think quite a bit, however, given the way third party retailers have their way with Apple's brand, I'm uncertain), I have to think Eyes-Free Siri is ready for primetime if Apple and GM are both, presumably, on board with promoting the heck out of something in perpetual beta.
So, again, I'll let you know how it goes with an assessment of how Eyes-Free Siri performs today and what might lie ahead. I'm thinking it has the potential to be much more exciting than the stuff the lamebrain media likes to obsess over. Buying Tesla and predicting heart attacks is sexy, but it's nothing Apple has even come close to chiming in on, let alone confirming.
For the record, while few others have paid attention to Eyes-Free Siri, it has been on TheStreet's radar for awhile. I published Can 'Eyes-Free' Siri Stand the Media Hype in the Summer of 2012, shortly after Apple announced the feature's existence at its Worldwide Developers Conference.
In that article, I threw water on what was then over-the-top hype. The sort of hype that claimed Apple, via Siri, would crush Pandora (P).
Didn't happen.
Here again, another case of the media jumping on the sexy angle. When the climax never comes, it moves on. But that doesn't mean Apple has moved on. It's still working on making everything it does the best it can be ... so it can sell hardware of course.
While TheStreet's Richard Saintvilus was one of the guys caught up in that euphoria, he provided solid coverage on Siri into 2013 (after the initial hype wore down). I encourage you to see my story from a year ago this month, Is There a Media Conspiracy Against Apple, where I provide links to Saintvilus's work. It's well worth your time if you want to understand how Siri could play an integral role in Apple's future.
Eighteen months later, you'd have to think Siri's in-car capabilities have come a long way. If they haven't, it borders on idiocy to allow GM to tout them on television, let alone in primetime during the Winter Olympics.

Ever since boyhood, I have been quietly fanatical about 3D photography.So I can't quite believe the technical progress that's been made over the past few years to bring us to where we are now — a moment so exciting I have to pinch myself to believe it's arrived.For the first time, 3D could actually become more than the passing fad it has been since first becoming popular in the Fifties and make the leap into everyday life.Our cinemas are full of 3D films and our electrical stores are packed with 3D TVs, which people are buying in serious numbers.We are at the tipping point.I've been obsessed with 3D photographs since a cardboard viewer with coloured lenses fell out of my Weetabix packet when I was eight, in the mid-Fifties. I loved the new world it opened up.I learned to take stereoscope pictures — a basic form of 3D — with a camera I bought from Woolworths for 12-and-a-half pence.You lined up the first picture with your left eye, then the next one with your right.Once the pictures were developed, you put them next to each other and when you looked through a stereoscopic viewer, there was a 3D image leaping out in front of you!All through the Queen years, I was passionate about 3D, meeting specialist dealers as we toured the world.Childhood fascination: 'I have loved 3D photography since i was a boy'Childhood fascination: 'I have loved 3D photography since i was a boy'By then, I'd trained my eyes to 'free view', the same focusing technique you need to see Magic Eye images.So I could rummage through photographs and instantly pick out the stereographs I wanted.A lot of people don't realise, but 3D photography has been around since 1838. I soon became an avid collector of one of its hugely-talented 19th-century pioneers, T.R. Williams.Two years ago, I co-wrote the words for a book of his beautiful stereographs, A Village Lost And Found, something I'm almost as proud of as everything we achieved with Queen.But Williams is part of 3D's past. It's future, I'm convinced, lies with film-makers, such as James Cameron (Avatar), Lee Unkrich (Toy Story 3) and Robert Zemeckis (Polar Express).I vividly remember going to see Avatar and being blown away by the 3D effects. It was something I'd been waiting for my entire life.I've interviewed these guys for a Sky documentary I've been making about the history of 3D and they're so excited about its potential.We've had 3D films before, of course, with short-lived fads in the Fifties and Eighties, but this time I'm convinced the 3D effect is simply too good to throw away.Last year, I was one of the 140,000 people in this country (double the market's expectations) who bought a 3D TV — the LG passive system — and it's a great bit of kit.Of course, there's only one channel to watch, Sky 3D, but I'm loving the sport, films and wildlife documentaries. They're exquisite and the photography is stunning.But I confess I do still have doubts about 3D TV.Not that it will give people headaches or be poorly executed — those days are long gone.No, my doubts are about the way we watch television. The days when you sat in a darkened room watching in respectful silence are over.These days, people multi-task while they watch TV — chatting, tapping at their computer, reading a newspaper. You can't do any of that if you're wearing 3D glasses.But I'm convinced, given the current rate of technical progress, 3D TVs that don't require special glasses are not too far away.One of my regrets is not having 3D footage of Queen live, in all our glorious, theatrical pomp. That really would have been a spectacle.But thanks to that boyhood passion of mine, there are some really good 3D stills of the band.My next project is to make a book of these, to be sold with my special Owl stereoscopic viewer attached.Freddie in 3D... now, that's going to be quite a sight.• Brian May's Brief History Of 3D will be shown on Sky 3D on July 7.Read more: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-2004495/Queen-guitarist-Brian-May-plans-Freddie-Mercury-3D.html#ixzz1PUrT6IuW

Neurofilament Cross-Bridge – A Structure Associated Specifically with the Neurofilament Among the Intermediate Filament Family
- Takahiro GotowAffiliated withLaboratory of Cell Biology, College of Nutrition, Koshien University Email author

The neurofilament (NF) is a member of the intermediate filament family, which is composed of different proteins but all having the same width, approximately 10 nm diameter. Among intermediate filaments, NFs have unique chemical and structural properties. They are composed of three distinctly different proteins called triplet proteins (NF-L, NF-M, and NF-H) and are constituted morphologically of two distinct domains in vivo: core filaments and cross-bridges laterally interconnecting the core filaments. Core filaments are ∼10 nm thick, and cross-bridges are much thinner, 3–5 nm thick. Cross-bridges are constructed from carboxy-terminal tail domains of NF-M and NF-H. When NFs are isolated in vitro, they are observed to be constructed of core filaments and long projections extending vertically from the core filaments. The projections, 3–5 nm in width, correspond morphologically with the tail domains of NF-M and NF-H and are much longer than cross-bridges, but with similar widths. The projections have ramified meshwork-like profiles, whereas the cross-bridges are smooth and straight; however, the projections are the structural scaffolding of cross-bridges, although the mechanism whereby projections are converted to cross-bridges is unknown. Although the tail domain of NF-H is longer and can be phosphorylated more extensively than that of NF-M, curiously NF-M appears to be more essential to form cross-bridges that are related to orienting core filaments parallel and increasing axonal calibers. However, cross-bridges are still constructed even in the presence of the NF-H tail alone without the NF-M tail, and more importantly, the cross-bridges are almost normal when having a phosphorylation-incompetent NF-M tail and an intact NF-H tail. I still have a question whether the NF-M tail or the NF-H tail is essential for cross-bridge formation but emphasize in this chapter that both tails are involved in the bridge formation and are able to compensate for each other when either protein is absent. In this reciprocity between NF-M and NF-H, phosphorylated tail domains of both proteins would be necessary. That is, normal cross-bridges are not as frequent as in either NF-M or NF-H tail-less mice when compared with wild-type mice expressing both tails, suggesting strongly that both tail domains are necessary for typical cross-bridges. When cross-bridges are not formed in the absence of both NF-M and NF-H tails, core filaments without cross-bridges are irregular in alignment, resulting in the impairment of axonal transport of membrane-bound organelles, even where microtubules are normal in appearance. Although it remains unresolved how projections are converted to cross-bridges, it seems certain that cross-bridges are an essential structure in axons, especially in long projection axons where NFs are extremely numerous. Cross-bridges are critical to enhance resistance of NFs to mechanical stress in elongated, nonrigid axoplasm and also to create a constant space between core filaments for the axonal transport of various organelles and molecules regulated by microtubules and their associated proteins.

Re: When did Joseph marry Mary?
The term "betrothal" in Jewish law must not be understood in its modern sense; that is, the agreement of a man and a woman to marry, by which the parties are not, however, definitely bound, but which may be broken or dissolved without formal divorce. ...
Several Biblical passages refer to the negotiations requisite for the arranging of a marriage (Gen. xxiv.; Song of Songs viii. 8; Judges xiv. 2-7), which were conducted by members of the two families involved, or their deputies, and required usually the consent of the prospective bride (if of age); but when the agreement had been entered into,
it was definite and binding upon both groom and bride, who were considered as man and wife in all legal and religious aspects, except that of actual cohabitation.
The root ("to betroth"), from which the Talmudic abstract ("betrothal") is derived, must be taken in this sense; i.e., to contract an actual though incomplete marriage.
In two of the passages in which it occurs the betrothed woman is directly designated as "wife" (II Sam. iii. 14, "my wife whom I have betrothed" ("erasti"), and Deut. xxii. 24, where the betrothed is designated as "the wife of his neighbor").
In strict accordance with this sense the rabbinical law declares that
the betrothal is equivalent to an actual marriage and only to be dissolved by a formal divorce.
Betrothal and Home-Taking.
After the betrothal a period of twelve months was allowed to pass before the marriage was completed by the formal home-taking. In case the bride was a widow or the groom a widower, this interval was reduced to thirty days (Ket. v. 2; Shulḥan 'Aruk, Eben ha-'Ezer, 56). ...
Betrothal with the ancient Hebrews was of a more formal and far more binding nature than the "engagement" is with us. Indeed, it was esteemed a part of the transaction of marriage, and that the most binding part. Among the Arabs today it is the only legal ceremony connected with marriage. Genesis 24:58,60 seems to preserve for us an example of an ancient formula and blessing for such an occasion. Its central feature was the dowry (mohar), which was paid to the parents, not to the bride. It may take the form of service (Genesis 29; 1 Samuel 18:25). It is customary in Syria today, when the projected marriage is approved by both families, and all the financial preliminaries have been settled, to have this ceremony of betrothal. It consists in the acceptance before witnesses of the terms of the marriage as contracted for. Then God's blessing is solemnly asked on the union thus provided for, but to take place probably only after some months, or perhaps some years. The betrothal effected, all danger from any further financial fencing and bluffing now being at an end, happiness and harmony may preside over all the arrangements for the marriage day. Among the Jews the betrothal was so far regarded as binding that, if marriage should not take place, owing to the absconding of the bridegroom or the breach of contract on his part, the young woman could not be married to another man until she was liberated by a due process and a paper of divorce.
Matthew 1:19
Because Joseph her husband was a righteous man and did not want to expose her to public disgrace,
he had in mind to divorce her quietly.
So, they were legally married in Matthew chapter 1, otherwise why did Joseph think about divorce?

This explains why Joseph was a righteous man. to want to divorce her "quietly".
There is the common misconception that if Joseph had not married Mary she would have been stoned to death for having a child out of wedlock. Not true.
That would only have happened if Joseph made a big public deal that Mary was not pregnant with his child.
If Joseph were to have a "quiet" divorce ... Everyone would have assumed that the Child was Joseph's. A letigimate child of their Betrothal. At which time Joseph would have to bring his pregnant bride into his house.
-- Were he to have a quiet divorce people would have assumed that he was divorcing her for another reason {bad cooking perhaps} and not to do with the Child.
Thus he was a righteous man to want a quite divorce.
Yes - Botrothal was a formal process that would also need to be formally divorced.

Obviously they were only betrothed when she is visited by the angel and later the Holy Spirit. But I thought after Joseph's dream(in Matthew) they married. However when looking at the Luke version it says that Mary was his betrothed when they arrived in Bethlehem. I realize customs are different but were first century Jews okay with a betrothed couple traveling together and the woman being pregnant before the wedding?
Any ideas on how to reconcile all this?
In the OT Law, the betrothal was the beginning of the marriage. In Deuteronomy, if a man slept with a virgin unbetrothed, he was given a penalty, but not put to death. If a man slept with another man's wife, then he was put to death for adultery. But if a man slept with a betrothed virgin, he was also put to death for adultery. So the betrothal was the legal beginning of an OT marriage.
Joseph and Mary were betrothed before the Incarnation, which is why Scripture refers to Joseph as Mary's husband even at that early date.

Re: When did Joseph marry Mary?
We know of what you ask because of the writings of St James the Apostle in his ProtoEvangelium
8. And her parents went down marvelling, and praising the Lord God, because the child had not turned back.
And Mary was in the temple of the Lord as if she were a dove that dwelt there, and she received food from the hand of an angel. And when she was twelve years old there was held a council of the priests, saying: Behold, Mary has reached the age of twelve years in the temple of the Lord.
What then shall we do with her, test perchance she defile the sanctuary of the Lord? And they said to the high priest: Thou standest by the altar of the Lord; go in, and pray concerning her; and whatever the Lord shall manifest unto thee, that also will we do. And the high priest went in, taking the robe with the twelve bells into the holy of holies; and he prayed concerning her. And behold an angel of the Lord stood by him, saying unto him: Zacharias, Zacharias, go out and assemble the widowers of the people, and let them bring each his rod; and to whomsoever the Lord shall show a sign, his wife shall she be. And the heralds went out through all the circuit of Judaea, and the trumpet of the Lord sounded, and all ran.
9. And Joseph, throwing away his axe, went out to meet them; and when they had assembled, they went away to the high priest, taking with them their rods. And he, taking the rods of all of them, entered into the temple, and prayed; and having ended his prayer, he took the rods and came out, and gave them to them: but there was no sign in them,
and Joseph took his rod last; and, behold, a dove came out of the rod, and flew upon Joseph's head. And the priest said to Joseph, Thou hast been chosen by lot to take into thy keeping the virgin of the Lord. But Joseph refused, saying: I have children, and I am an old man, and she is a young girl. I am afraid lest I become a laughing-stock to the sons of Israel. And the priest said to Joseph: Fear the Lord thy God, and remember what the Lord did to Dathan, and Abiram, and Korah; how the earth opened, and they were swallowed up on account of their contradiction. And now fear, O Joseph, lest the same things happen in thy house. And Joseph was afraid, and took her into his keeping. And Joseph said to Mary: Behold, I have received thee from the temple of the Lord; and now I leave thee in my house, and go away to build my buildings, and I shall come to thee. The Lord will protect thee.
One must understand the east in this respect. When a couple was Betrothed, and even to this day, they can live together. The betrothal was done a year prior to the Crowning. Today, most often, couple exchange the rings - or what is referred to as Bethroal - the same day as the Crowning, simply because in modern society things change.

Re: When did Joseph marry Mary?
Order of Betrothal
After the Divine Liturgy, while the Priest is in the Sanctuary, the Bride and Groom enter and stand at the doors of the Narthex (vestibule); the Groom on the right and the Bride to his left. In the center of the Nave, before the Royal Doors, have been placed on a table the Holy Gospel, the Holy Cross, the rings, candles, the Crowns, and the Common Cup containing wine. The priest, together with the Deacon, goes to the entrance of the Narthex. He blesses the Bride and Groom and leads them into the Narthex.
Bless, Master.
Blessed be our God always, now and ever and unto ages of ages.
In peace let us pray to the Lord.
Lord, have mercy.
[This response is sung after each petition of the Litany of Peace.]
For the peace from above, and for the salvation of our souls, let us pray to the Lord:
For the peace of the whole world, for the welfare of the holy churches of God, and for the union of all, let us pray to the Lord:
For this holy house, and for those who enter it with faith, reverence and the fear of God, let us pray to the Lord:
For the Holy Orthodox Patriarchs, for our Metropolitan N., for our Bishop N., for the honorable Priesthood, for the Deaconate in Christ, for all the clergy and the people, let us pray to the Lord:
For the President of these United States, for those in authority, and for all god loving people, let us pray to the Lord:
For the servant of God, N., and for the handmaid of God, N., who are now being betrothed to one another, and for their salvation, let us pray to the Lord:
That they may be granted children for the continuation of their generation, and all their petitions which may be for their salvation, let us pray to the Lord:
That He will send down upon them perfect and peaceful love, and help, let us pray to the Lord:
That He will preserve them in oneness of mind and in steadfastness of faith, let us pray to the Lord:
That He will bless them with a blameless life, let us pray to the Lord:
That the Lord our God will grant them an honorable and pure marriage let us pray to the Lord:
For our deliverance from all affliction, wrath, danger and necessity let us pray to the Lord:
Help us, save us, have mercy upon us, and keep us, O God by Thy Grace:
Commemorating our most holy, most pure, most blessed and glorious Lady, Theotokos and ever-Virgin Mary, with all the Saints, let us commend ourselves, and each other, and all our life unto Christ our God.
To Thee, O Lord.
For unto Thee are due all glory, honor, and worship, to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, now and ever and unto ages of ages,

Re: When did Joseph marry Mary?
Lord our God, who went with the servant of the Patriarch Abraham into Mesopotamia when he was sent to seek a wife for his master Isaac and, by the means of drawing of water at the well, revealed to him that he should betroth Rebecca; Do Thou Thyself bless the betrothal of these Thy servants, N. and N., and confirm the word they have spoken. Strengthen them in the holy union which is from Thee. For Thou, in the beginning, made them male and female, and by Thee is the woman joined to the man as a helpmate and for the continuation of the human race.
Therefore, O Lord our God, who has sent forth Thy truth to Thine inheritance, and Thy covenant unto Thy servants our fathers, even Thine elect from generation to generation. Look Thou upon Thy servant, N., and upon Thy handmaid, N., and establish and confirm their betrothal in faith, in oneness of mind, in truth and in love.
Thou, O Lord, declared that a pledge should be given and confirmed in all things. By a ring was power given unto Joseph in Egypt; by a ring was Daniel exalted in the land of Babylon; by a ring was Tamar's integrity revealed; by a ring did our heavenly Father show compassion upon His son, for He said, put a ring on his right hand, and kill the fatted calf, and let us cat and rejoice. Thine own right hand, O Lord, armed Moses in the Red Sea. By Thy true word the heavens were established, and the foundations of the earth were made firm. By Thy mighty word and Thine uplifted arm, the right hands of Thy servants shall be blessed. Therefore, O Master, do Thou now Thyself bless this putting on of rings with Thy heavenly benediction: and let Thine Angel go before them all the days of their life.
For Thou are He who blesses and sanctifies all things, and unto Thee do we ascribe glory, to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit now and ever, and unto ages of ages.
The Order of Marriage is composed of two parts; the Betrothal and the Sacrament of Crowning. The Betrothal, being a rite, is usually celebrated in the Narthex at the Church. The exchange of rings is its distinctive act. After the Litany of Peace with added petitions for the blessing of the Betrothal, the Priest prays that they will receive perfect and peaceful love and that God will bless the Betrothal and unite them in peace and oneness of mind. The Priest then puts on the rings and they are exchanged thrice in the Name of the Holy Trinity; as a sign of their mutual pledge of integrity in love. The ring is placed on the right hand as the hand of power and of blessing. With the words of the final prayer, "let Thine Angel go before them all the days of their life," the Betrothal ends and the next movement is anticipated. The Priest now leads the Bride and Groom into the Nave of the Church during the singing of Psalm 128.
In some churches the Priest, having given the end of his stole to be held by the Bride and Groom, leads the bridal procession into the Nave. He then asks the Bride and Groom to indicate that they are entering marriage freely without coercion, and that they are not committed to marry any one else.

Though this is an Orhtodox site, it will give you an idea of what a Bethrothal and Crowning would be like in the Byzantine Churches.

Finally, Herod was just being thorough; the order to kill all boys two years and younger was making sure that Jesus didn't slip through his net.

Jesus was born in Bethlehem and when the Magi found him he was living in Bethlehem. When the Magi came to Herod he asked them the exact date that the star had appeared. After he found out he had been deceived he "had all the male children killed who were two years old or under, reckoning by the date he had been careful to ask the wise men." If Jesus had been born only a week or two earlier, Herod would have had no reason to have children two and under killed.

There's nothing to say that the star couldn't have appeared to the wise men well before Jesus was born.
This could have been the way it happened, in order that the Magi had sufficient time to follow it and make the long journey, and arrive in Bethlehem at or soon after the time of his birth.
But they and Herod couldn't know how old the child was - whether he had been born at the time the star first appeared or not. To be safe, Herod decided to kill all children born since the star first appeared.
My Lord, He died for a kingdom
To redeem the hearts of men
Now my people don't you weep
He is risen from His sleep
He lives again! Alleluia!
Sing Alleluia, the Lord is risen
He is risen indeed, Alleluia!
Viva il Papa!

Hi all,
I've got a little doosie here. I installed BT4 Pre-Final on a USB flash drive but during the install I didn't change any settings regarding the installation of the Grub boot loader and thus Grub was installed on my Windows disk. I really don't have a problem with this because it will still allow me to get into Windows without incident except for one major problem: the USB drive must the plugged in for Grub to display a list of operating systems. Otherwise is halts the boot with citing an error (error 21 I think). So basically I can't boot to Windows without BT4 being plugged in while Grub lists all the OSs it can find.
I have read some stories about booting into the Windows recovery console and overwriting my boot sector with the Windows boot loader, but I was sort of hoping I might just be able to keep Grub from requiring the USB drive to be present and only showing a choice of OSs if the USB drive is present.
Does anyone have any ideas?
P.S. The machine Grub is installed on is a Win XP SP3 running on an ASUS Eee PC 1000HA.

FLORENCE, S.C. – Francis Marion University cross country coach Mark Bluman has announced the signing of four Palmetto State runners for the 2012 season: Guy McCarter of Ladson and Conner McGraw of Goose Creek for the men's team and Kateland Todd of Pawleys Island and Hannah Muzzillo of Florence on the women's side.
McCarter, 5-10, is a product of Stratford High School, where he ran for coaches Shane Sutherland and Dave Renneisen.
He placed 21st in a time of 16:33 at the 2011 AAAA state championship cross country meet as the Knights finished second in the team standings. He finished seventh in the 3,200-meters (time of 9:55.60) and fifth in the 4x800-meter relay at the 2012 AAAA state championship track and field meet.
He owns personal-best times of 2:06 for 800-meters, 4:35 for 1,600-meters, and 9:48 for 3,200-meters. He also helped Stratford's 4x1,600-meter relay team post a time of 18:17, the second fastest in state history.
"Guy is coming in to the program at the right time," said Bluman. "He had a strong senior year both in cross country and track, and he's got a lot of momentum going and will look to keep it pushing forward for us this fall."
McGraw, 5-8, is also a graduate of Stratford. He placed 32nd with a season-best time of 16:52 at the 2011 state cross country meet. On the track, he possesses personal-best times of 2:19 in the 800-meters, 4:59 in the 1,600-meters, and 4:48 in the mile.
"Conner is one of those athletes that often gets overshadowed. He was the fifth man for the AAAA state runner-up this year in cross country. You don't often get too much attention as the fifth man, but you cannot have a successful team without a strong runner there. I'm pretty sure he won't be overshadowed this fall."
Todd, 4-11, is a graduate of Georgetown High School, where she ran for coaches Holly Fesperman and Jill Crothers. She spent this past year attending Horry-Georgetown Technical College.
A four-time All-Region runner at GHS, she finished 86th (time of 22:10) at the 2010 AAA state championship cross country meet and 92nd (22:35) at the 2009 state meet.
"Kateland is pretty fast at everything, even finishing high school in three years. She was one of the top 2011 recruits, and we are glad that we are getting her now. The year away from team competition has only sharpened her more. She's focused and ready to make an impact here at FMU."
Muzzillo, 5-5, is a product of West Florence High School, where she ran under the direction of coach Jim Fritchman.
She posted a personal-best 5,000-meter time of 23:22 at the 2009 Pee Dee Classic. She also owns personal-best times of 6:03 for 1,600-meters and 13:36 for 3,200-meters while running for the Knights.
She was captain of the 2012 WFHS track and field squad, and recently won her age group in the 2012 Race For Taylor 5K event with a time of 25:39.
"Hannah is a local recruit and we are glad that she's staying close to home and joining our program. Her dad often cleans up awards at the local road races. It's always great to coach second generation runners, as they have seen their parents compete, so it is in their blood and they know firsthand what it takes to succeed as a distance runner."
Francis Marion lost only one senior from each of its men's and women's squads that placed 23rd and 24th respectively at the 2011 NCAA Division II Southeast Regional Meet.

Economic crisis tests Italian family, Church opens doors
By Catherine Hornby
ROME (Reuters) - In happier times, ice-cream seller Antonio Siracusa would have considered turning to relatives for help when he lost his job in a cinema in Rome. But these are not happy times.
So Siracusa chooses to go to a free canteen run by Christians in the district of Trastevere for dinner, and picks up free food parcels for other meals.
"I have siblings, but I don't want anything from them," said Siracusa, as he stood in line at the Sant'Egidio charity's diner, adding that he didn't feel comfortable bothering them in such tough economic times. "The community here are my family."
A deep recession and rising unemployment has piled pressure on all Italians and may even be undermining Italy's most reliable social safety net in periods of financial difficulty - the family.
Christian charities say many Italians appear to be ashamed of turning to relatives already struggling in the economic crisis or are coping with the effects of divorce, the incidence of which has doubled in Italy since 1995.
Youth unemployment, at about 35 percent, is keeping sons and daughters at home even into their 30s and causing them to delay starting families of their own, while pension cuts have increased the additional support needed by the elderly.
"Social security in Italy has traditionally been the family. The problem is that families have become overloaded in the present crisis," said Augusto D'Angelo, who works at the Sant'Egidio diner.
The state has never offered a comprehensive jobless benefits system, and the debt crisis has forced it to further curb spending, limit pensions and hike taxes as part of austerity measures aimed at reining in strained public finances. Continued...

My wife and I went to the range today for fun and practice. The time was much later than I prefer and the place was packed. We shared a lane. My wife was shooting and I standing behind her.
I'm in the habbit of always looking around because I frequently see safety violations and I don't want to get shot by a gun range cowboy. You know all those holes in the ceiling, floor, and lane partitions are not intentional right?
I noticed a pair of guys loading magazines at the bench behind the lanes, which usually means someone is well on their way to commiting a safety violation. Sure enough, one of the guys inserts a just loaded magazine into a Glock 21 and has the muzzle pointed DIRECTLY AT ME. Not the worst safety violation I've been on the receiving end of, but that is another story.
At this point I'm yelling (to be heard over the volume of fire) at the guy to drop the muzzle, drop the magazine, and lock the slide open. When our eyes meet, he frowns, but does what I asked. I was prepared for an argument, but got none. Nor was there a repeat - both guys had their weapons either holstered or locked open when moving between the lane and the bench for the rest of the time I was there.
Some folks just don't take the time to learn the basics of safety.
So, what is your gun range cowboy story?
Well yesterday I saw a couple of guys horsing around on the lane as I went in to the range. Made a quick comment to the RSO and they left shortly after.

Andres Nocioni scored 26 points to lead the Bulls to a 94-93 win over the Kings on Saturday
Bulls 94, Kings 93
CHICAGO, Jan. 5 (AP) -- Ben Wallace was at the foul line with the score tied and just seconds to go. Overtime seemed inevitable.
Standing at the line, the 41.9 percent career free-throw shooter recognized that someone was likely to hit a game-winning shot, if not in regulation, then in overtime.
"Why not me?'' Wallace wondered.
Wallace hit the first of two free throws with 3.2 seconds remaining and then blocked Brad Miller's jumper with about a second left to lift the Chicago Bulls to a 94-93 victory over the Sacramento Kings on Saturday night.
Sacramento's Justin Williams grabbed the rebound after the second foul shot, and the Kings called a 20-second timeout. Miller caught the inbound pass, and Wallace blocked the shot to preserve a wild victory for the Bulls.
Miller thought he was then fouled by Chicago's Chris Duhon as he tried to fling in the loose ball at the buzzer and let the officials hear it as two teammates escorted him from the court.
"Wallace's block was fine,'' said Miller, who then referred to himself in the third person. "The reach-in on the end, (Duhon) almost knocked the guy's arm off. Got to give him a chance to at least shoot the ball I thought, but I guess not.''
Besides Wallace's dramatics, the Bulls got strong performances from Andres Nocioni and Ben Gordon.
With Luol Deng sitting out because of left Achilles' tendinitis, Nocioni started and rewarded the Bulls with 26 points and five rebounds. He scored 13 in the first five minutes and never slowed down, hitting 5-of-7 3-pointers and going 7-of-10 overall from the field.
It was a big improvement over the previous five games, when Nocioni hit just 17-of-49 shots.
"One thing I noticed was Noce was rebounding well tonight,'' interim coach Jim Boylan said. "If you watch his game, usually if he is rebounding, he is into the flow of the game.''
Gordon added 20 points and Chicago improved to 4-2 under Boylan. Kirk Hinrich added 13 points, and Tyrus Thomas scored 14, grabbed nine rebounds and blocked three shots.
Miller led Sacramento with 22 points and 13 rebounds.
Dahntay Jones and Quincy Douby set season-highs with 16 and 14 points, respectively, but the Kings lost for the sixth time in seven games in part because they couldn't hang onto the ball. They committed 19 turnovers, three in the final 2:30.
"Down the stretch, you've got to make plays,'' coach Reggie Theus said. "You can't turn the ball over. About a minute or so to go, we turned it over three times. It was tough to survive it.''
Tied at 93, the Kings had a chance to go ahead after Gordon missed a floater with 26 seconds left. After a timeout, John Salmons drove and spun but got called for a travel with six seconds left.
The Bulls then took advantage of their opportunity.
The play was designed for Gordon, but he wasn't open.
Hinrich inbounded the ball to Wallace following a timeout and immediately got it back. The two executed a give-and-go, with Hinrich finding the big man cutting toward the hoop.
Wallace got fouled by Mikki Moore and made the first free throw after missing his first four of the game. It was his lone point of the game, although he did grab 11 rebounds.
That Wallace came through with a big block wasn't shocking; he is a four-time Defensive Player of the Year. That he hit the go-ahead free throw was, considering he had missed his first four. That included an airball and several others that made a knuckleball look straight by comparison.
"I already had some practice shots, so I needed to make one,'' Wallace said. "The laws of physics, eventually one is going in.''
Notes: Although an MRI on Friday revealed no major structural damage, the Bulls are taking a cautious approach with Deng. Their second-leading scorer at 17.9 points, Deng left in the second quarter of last Thursday's double-overtime loss to Portland and managed only two points. ... Kings coach Reggie Theus acknowledged he got "a little sappy'' on the way to the arena. After all, he spent his first five-and-a-half seasons as a player with the Bulls in the late 1970s and early 1980s, and Saturday's game was his first in Chicago as a head coach. The memories came flooding back. "How many times in a person's life are they in a stadium where they're chanting your name? All 6,000 of them,'' Theus said. He recalled getting a standing ovation at a Michael Jackson concert his rookie year. "Those are pretty incredible things for a young guy,'' he said.

Sometimes, my job becomes a grind. There are too many meetings that feel unproductive, too many students needing something from me, and too many assignments waiting for me to stick a grade to them. I feel burdened and forget the joy. This is how I've felt for the past few weeks, my enthusiasm dying a bit under the weight of my semester. Along with my students, I've been doing the countdown to fall break, a week that falls way too late in a semester, arriving after thirteen weeks of class. It's taken tons of my energy to get through the last couple of weeks, having not only to cajole myself into participation, but finding that I needed to also don a bit of a cheerleading outfit to keep both myself and my students going.
Fortunately, though, the air cleared a bit today, most likely because I knew that next week meant a week of break, a week devoted to relaxing, hanging with family, laughing, soaking in hot springs, cooking, reading, and hopefully doing a bit of my own writing. I could breathe relief. And with that sense, nothing felt onerous. Not even a meeting.
Today, I spent an hour and a half meeting with a small group of faculty and administrators to put together questions for a revised Student Opinion of Instruction, an evaluative device that has been through lots of operational snafus over the last couple of years, proving of little use for either constituency. Together, we hashed through language, discussing what we were needing to learn from such categories as Effective Communication and Flexibility in Approaches to Teaching. I enjoyed not only hearing my fellow faculty member's reactions to certain questions, but also found it instructive to hear exactly what Deans wanted to know when it came to measuring any of these categories. We debated a bit at times, but most of the time there was a natural consensus, a supportive atmosphere of revising and collaborating to put together a useful measure for students to evaluate instructors. With ease, we came up with next steps to get input from all faculty and from students before finalizing the questions. Dare I say, an enjoyable meeting.
Today, after plowing through some innocuous assignments and a bit of tedium, I found myself with one last pile of grading to finish before I could officially declare things caught up for now.
Fortunately, it was a pile of digital stories. As I began watching them, I became awed by my students. They triumphed with an assignment that gave me great anxiety because I had never taught it before--I had only created one digital story more than two years ago. I feared the project would tank, that students would struggle and not be able to produce a digital story. I had no exit strategy for the assignment--it had to succeed.
Even though I had support of two colleagues who were piloting this project in their classes, even though I had a multimedia graphics person who could be of some assistance, I felt alone, watching my students stress at times over all aspects of their digital stories. They worried whether their story was worth telling. They struggled with developing narrative arcs that contained an inciting incident and transformation. They grappled with all the dimensions of storytelling. And then they battled with movie technologies that I knew little about. I watched them lose parts of their story and have to rebuild the visuals. Yet, they never complained.
Once my students got going, they got going. Their stories are beautiful. Not only are they narrating with an attention to pacing, with an attention to the affordances of audio, they are heeding all the instruction about visuals focused on throughout the semester, clearly demonstrating their attention to the power of visuals as a way to enhance narrative. Their choices are thoughtful and their use of silence through a black screen or a static visual is artful. These students got their rhetoric on.
Most importantly, though, I am honored by their courageous stories and willingness to share them with each other, with me. A project like this would fail at the beginning of class because it needs trust, not only in each other and in me, but trust in their ability to compose.
My students inspire me. I am thankful for this batch of grading to sit with, to linger with, to replay, because I want to listen to their stories as I watch them again and again.

The surgery took almost 2 hours, and I was cut underneath both breasts to insert the implants. This was done under a local verses general anethesia. Their reasoning was that some people become nauseated after a general, could vomit and displace the implants.
After the surgery I was in a hospital bed for a few hours, and guess what? I got sick anyway!Do I take the chance with 35 yr old silicone implants?

Keep it clean
A small master bathroom is tucked into a short hallway that also houses a shared closet. "We decided not to do drawers on the bathroom cabinets to keep the face really simple," says King of the FSC-certified cherrywood vanity. The custom medicine cabinets' niches hold electric toothbrushes and hide the cords. In addition, a water-efficient steam shower takes the place of a bathtub, saving even more floor space.

Steelers notebook: Team holds rare practice at soggy Heinz Field
There was a surprise waiting several of the groups who toured Heinz Field on Thursday — a real live Steelers practice was taking place, something that never happens during the season. Part of the workout featured red-zone offense drills. Coach Mike Tomlin likes his team to work out once every spring in their home stadium. And, unlike some NFL coaches who automatically move practice indoors during rainy weather, Tomlin decided to practice outside on a wet day.
"Oftentimes in the fall and winter when we are working in our stadium (on game days), it is less than ideal weather conditions," he said.
Tomlin didn't offer an update on quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, who had right knee surgery Wednesday to alleviate discomfort. He won't practice again until training camp. "There's nothing new to add," Tomlin said. "He's resting comfortably at home. We will get him in the building next week and proceed."
• Thursday's ninth OTA session — a 10th was canceled Monday — wrapped up that portion of the Steelers' offseason work. They will have a three-day minicamp Tuesday through Thursday on the South Side before breaking for six weeks in advance of training camp.
• The Steelers placed cornerbackJustin King on the injured reserve list. The move ends his season. The former Gateway High player was a fourth-round pick out of Penn State by the Rams in 2008 and joined the Steelers late last season but didn't play. To replace King, they signed free agent cornerback Nigel Malone, who was first signed by the Colts as an undrafted rookie free agent from Kansas State this spring.
• A limited number of tickets for the Steelers' eight regular-season and two preseason home games will go on sale through Ticketmaster beginning 10 a.m. on June 15. Fans may buy up to four tickets, in any combination, for any home game. A majority of the tickets will be priced at $66 or $70. The Steelers have sold out every game for decades but set aside some individual game tickets for fans who do not have season tickets.

Having trouble removing Vibration Damper/Harmonic Balancer
Hi all, I'm replacing my timing chain, sprockets and tensioner. I'm having problems removing the Harmonic balancer (HB). I have a puller, KD 2286 Harmonic balancer remover-however I'm not sure it is the correct one. The end of the drive screw which pushes against the crankshaft appears to be too big and covers not only the crankshaft but the metal cylinder around it.
Is this the incorrect puller or does the HB pulley sit on the metal cylinder around the cranshaft?
Ok, maybe that question was too difficult.
Let me ask this: When the Harmonic balancer comes off, is the diameter of the center hole the same diameter as the crankshaft itself or is it larger?
What engine. You need the FSM to see the correct pulled required.
Engine is 2.5 L per profile... I will not be much more help than that.. never had to replace a chain on any of my Jeeps.
Chains should last forever. 2.4s have timing belts and needs servicing.
there is a GM/chrysler specific HB puller you will ne to rent that one it's the only one i have ever found that works.
Chains should last forever and the actual problem is with the tensioner/guide. I've never done a timing chain before, so if anyone has any advice once I get the cover off, it would be appreciated. I'm using a Haynes manual which covers '87 thru 2003...not the best manual by the way.
Atthehop: FSM?
Everyone: I'm sure that the tensioner is a problem-you can hear it clacking around like a mad man in there, used a redneck stethoscope to ensure that's where the noise is coming from.
I've been experiencing slight hesitation/bucking in 1st and 2nd gear-especially going slowly, 5-20mph. Also consistent pops and bubbles out the back when shifting-especially between 1st and 2nd gear. I had chalked all of this up to timing-no vacuum leaks, manifold(s) tight.
No CAT so could this be upstream O2 sensor? Fuel filter?
Got the correct puller and attempting timing chain replacement again Wednesday.
popping through the exhaust? I have never had a chain go that bad... what you describe sounds more like a stuck lifter.... like the exhaust valve is stuck up and you here it 'POP' out the tailpipe. This would also zero out your compression for that cylinder... and... being 4 cylinder, would hesitate and buck as you described.
Is this constant? rhythmic? Does the POP out the tailpipe 'sync' with what you hear under the hood?
Just trying to help....
I had the tensioner go bad on my 98 2.5l, and so have several others on here and JeepForum. Mine was in pieces and rattling around inside the timing chain cover. I rented a puller from Autozone which worked fine; mine came off relatively easily. When you get the cover off, check to see if your tensioner is in pieces like mine was. If it is, you'll want to make sure you find all of the pieces. I also replaced the chain while I was in that far; figured I might as well replace it while I had everything off.
Yes, the popping is really more of a backfire. I bought this thing about a month ago, so I'm not sure how long the problem has been allowed to persist (listless hippies were previous owners) but the muffler is completely blown out from all the backfiring.
While driving, I'm convinced it is running on all 4 cylinders. I guess I was hoping that the chain had jumped a link. And in support of that theory, it did seem as though the rotor was slightly ahead of the #1 spark plug at TDC.
Ok, little update. Timing chain went on no problem and the jeep is so much quieter. Turns out that the tensioner was just fine and doing its job. There was a piece of plastic-of the same type as the tensioner-lodged between one of the walls of the housing and the timing chain. Loudness was the result. No clue where it came from though...
I still have the backfire problem and suspect its a sensor issue. There is no CAT and I don't know how that effects the O2 sensors...Also MAP and TPS are suspect.
Anyone have any thoughts? It is a very periodic backfire when coasting down hill in say 2nd gear at moderate rpms-that is without giving it gas. Also when accelerating and changing gear.
I appreciate any input.
Any CEL? If you have problems with sensors, CEL would give it up. Backfiring is assign of an exhaust valve not closing for a number of reasons.. Dead lifter, Broken/bent pushrod, pushrod gone thru a rocker.... To name a few. Timing could be and issue as well
I get codes 12, 17, 51 & 55. Lean mixture, basically. I'm almost convinced that not having the cat between the 2 o2 sensors is causing the problem. Working on a solution to fake out the computer with a little circuit. I'll post results...
I had planned on building a circuit with variable 0.1 - 0.9 Volt output to the computer. However, I've recently learned that the ECU also monitors resistance from the heater within the sensor. So, forget that.
And then I found this:
O2 Simulator Mini Cat Cel Fix
which should solve the problem.
It's called an o2 sensor simulator (but isn't it really a CAT simulator?)...
TnDz Tj: If the simulator does not solve my problem, you are probably right and the next time you're on the Big Island-Drinks are on me!

Education Department handing out grants to help with pricey projects. 7.31.14 5:05 a.m.
As marijuana revenues trickle into the state, slow to meet projections, a few Colorado school districts are among the first to see some impact from the state's new funds.
The state Department of Education's program to fund capital projects — known as Building Excellent Schools Today, or BEST, grants — had received more than $1.1 million from marijuana taxes in May when it made the annual award recommendations.
The largest grant awarded in May was a $24.9 million financed grant to the Morgan County School District Re-3 to replace a middle school.
Of the cash grants, the largest was one for more than $3 million to Pueblo County School District 70 for fire and safety improvements to bring schools to code so an ongoing expansion project at a high school can continue.
Aurora Public Schools received two grants — the first time being approved for more than one per year. One is to replace a part of a roof at a high school and the other for mechanical work at one of the district's oldest schools.
Some school officials say there's a misconception about where the pot money is going - read more from our partners at The Denver Post: http://www.denverpost.com/News/Local/ci_26247743/Pot-revenues-starting-to-help-select-schools-on-pricey-projects

Pre Incident Indicator Analysis (PIIA) System
Gilfeather, Frank
Caudell, Thomas
Taha, Mahmoud
Weinberg, David
Policy leaders have identified a need for a mathematical based computational system that would support requirements of situational awareness to analyze terrorist threats and risks given the vast amount of input data in the form of open source, intelligence as well as other indicators. In response to these expressed needs , the University of New Mexico (UNM) developed a proto-type system, the Pre Incident Indicator Analysis (PIIA) system, which is capable of combining open source and intelligence data with other indicators and information as inputs to provide a dynamic assessment of threats and risks along with a measure of the uncertainties inherent in that analysis. The object is to build a mathematical and then a prototype system to access large complex "faceted information ontologies" consisting of information and data available to analysts and in a fashion they can use. A framework has been established for such a system and demonstrated. In addition considerable progress has been made on the key challenge of creating faceted ontologies (combining specific views of data and information). This constitutes a data collection system that combines specific views or ontologies, allows for analyzing the integrated information and then ascertaining certain new views of the resultant information. This has the potential to evaluate specific threats for importance, provide temporal sensitivity and provide warnings for analysts to consider.

My 4BD2tc has what I thought was a rocker arm a little loose. At idle it sounds just like a really loose valve, but as soon as you increase the RPM's it goes away. It sounds like just one cylinder also. One of the center ones, likely the rear of the two. I don't have any smoke to speak of, idle is pretty smooth too.
Thinking valves, I adjusted all the valves to factory specs and it's the same sound. I checked the valves again the next morning to make sure they dead cold...All in spec.!
I have heard talk of a diesel knock from bad injectors and searched Google. I found a bad injector can make a similar sound.
I am going to the injector shop tomorrow and let them listen to it and get their idea's.
What do you guy's think?

Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.), the House budget committee chairman and former GOP vice presidential nominee, supports House Speaker John Boehner's "Plan B" proposal to avert the fiscal cliff.
Ryan has been working closely with House leaders since his return to Congress after he and Mitt Romney were defeated in the November presidential election. He joined Boehner's daily management meeting to discuss fiscal cliff strategy but has kept a low public profile and has shied from weighing in publicly as President Obama and Boehner have sought a bipartisan deficit reduction deal.
Now, as Boehner's proposal comes under an onslaught from the right for allowing tax rates to rise on those making more than $1 million a year, Ryan is working to bolster Boehner's position.
"Chairman Ryan will continue to work to protect as many Americans as possible from tax hikes," said Ryan spokesman Conor Sweeney. "Chairman Ryan believes that Speaker Boehner's 'Plan B' meets that criteria."

Silent Mode
It is a testament to the absurdity of modern times that once your card is up and death turns out the light in the glass house you call your body, a part of you continues to live on in wavelength limbo: your cell phone. There are tales of widows continuing to pay their deceased husbands phone bills if only to be able to continue hearing his outgoing message. Any way you look at it, the phone has become an extension of our bodies; when youre dead, that phantom limb has the potential to keep growing. Sarah Ruhls play Dead Mans Cell Phone deals with just that. When a woman begins answering the phone of an expired café patron, she is transformed into a secretary-meets-counselor as she delivers the tragic news to the mans friends and family in this smart, surrealistic comedy.
Saturdays, Sundays, 2 & 7:45 p.m.; Tuesdays-Fridays, 7:45 p.m. Starts: Sept. 21. Continues through Oct. 13, 2008
