In all high-minded or "holy" group violence, you'll see two factors at play: The Endgame and the Spin. (Which one of these two gets emphasized and reviled depends on whether you're reading a polemic or an apologia.) The Endgame is similar across eras and cultures: Land grabs, slave-taking, looting, the exaction of tribute, general destruction, and empire-building. The Spin will be used to deflect attention from this commonality of aim—both for the conquered populace, and for the conquerors themselves. (The conscience must be conquered first.)
The Endgame will be pursued if the group believes it is in its interests, and if the group believes it can get away with it. It is this latter criterion that reveals that Spin for what it is. The Spin on invading Iraq, circa 2003, was national self-defense and the spreading of Freedom and Democracy. There were other dictatorships and communist countries with larger, documented arsenals; but the United States invaded that one, in particular, because we thought we could get away with it. Hence the repeated insistence, in the run-up to the invasion, that we would be "greeted as liberators." We don't destroy China or North Korea or Iran today for the same reason we didn't invade the U.S.S.R. back in the 1970's, even though it is in our interests to rid ourselves of these economic and political rivals (none of them representative democracies): We wouldn't be able to get away with it, not without hundreds of thousands of American casualties and a potential nuclear exchange. So in those contexts, the urgent need to spread Democracy and Freedom, and the urgent intolerability of the threat of an armed unfriendly state, both vanish. This is the well-known reason why so many countries want nuclear weapons: They render your country permanently uninvadable because the second criterion won't be met. This wasn't so in the case of Iraq. There, both criteria were met. The Spin could be used: The Endgame could be presented, both to the world and to Americans, as high-minded and principled group violence. It didn't work.
Sometimes, though, the Spin does work. Consider the way Muslims (and historians, for that matter) regard the 7th century A.D. overland expansion of the Arabs under Mohammed. Now, politically, what happened in the Arabian Peninsula was identical to what would happen a few centuries later in Mongolia: A strongman unites quarrelsome regional tribes and directs their violence, previously internecine, outward in a war of imperial overland conquest. The strongman in Arabia was Mohammed; in Mongolia, it was Chinghiz Khan. The Mongols had no use for Spin; this is why they are called "barbaric" by historians. The Muslims had the supreme Spin in history, Islam: To this day, people think of those "holy warriors" as setting forth to spread their religion, not to loot, take slaves, and set up Caliphates across the Middle East as far as Sindh. Yet the same warriors, supposedly restless with the desire to go spreading Islam, settled down and lived as an aristocracy in the conquered Islamic empire; if they really couldn't sit still until the whole world was converted, they would have ridden off endlessly to the east, west, and north until the Chinese, the Byzantines, and the Arctic winter destroyed them. But their supposed burning need to spread Islam quieted when the risks outweighed the benefits. They enjoyed the fruits of the Endgame. The Spin could wait.
And the greatest Spin in all history it was: To this day, the peoples they conquered pray in Arabic and visit Mohammed's capital, Mecca, as their holiest city. The Arab empire has vanished—the worldly fruits of the Endgame have perished—but the Spin lives on. The colonizing Europeans between 1492 and 1914 had varying success in this regard, spreading Christianity through extermination in North America, interbreeding in Central and South America, conversion in South Korea, Goa, and scattered other outposts; but never quite overcoming the entrenched religions of India and the Middle Eastern areas of conquest. (A case of fire fighting fire.) But it's important to note that Catholics the world over make their pilgrimage to Rome: Constantine's vision of the cross, In hoc signo vinces, is an example of an Endgame finding a new Spin. Before Christianity, Rome used to pursue its Endgame in the name of Roman Law and Good Government: cf. Virgil, who wrote the original Mission Statement: "Your task, O Roman, is to rule and bring to men the arts of government, to impose upon them the arts of peace, to spare those who submit, to subdue the arrogant." After Constantine, the Spin switched to Christianity.
So it's important, when considering "religious violence," to separate the Endgame from the Spin. And to realize that a man's metaphysical ideas are strikingly independent of how ethical his behavior is or isn't. This is why you can see, in the world around you, noble, righteous, compassionate atheists and psychopathic, genocidal religious believers—and vice-versa. When groups engage in violence in the name of a God or religion, whether it's it's usually just more of the old Endgame with more of the old Spin. Sectarian violence between Hindus and Muslims during the Partition of India, 1947: Land grabs, property seizure, rape. The religions had nothing to do with it; the more devout demographics—women and the elderly—suffered the violence, while young males (none of them professionals, mind you; mostly poor and uneducated young men) carried it out. If simply believing in the religion "caused" the violent action, plenty of the perpetrators should have been women, and the prayerful elderly should have been involved, too. But they weren't.
There is a connection of religion and group violence, but it's not causative: Rather, it's that religion provides a group identity, which can then be utilized for violent ends by leaders of a government or community. Any group identity will do: In Rwanda, violence took place along tribal lines because tribe still matters in Africa; in Europe in the early 20th century, nation-state fought nation-state because nation-statehood mattered to Germany and France, their common Christianity notwithstanding; in India in 1947, religion mattered, so when the subcontinent was divided along religious lines, violence ensued along religious lines. The Endgame in all cases is familiar: The old lust for territory and power.
In the Islamic world, Sunni and Shia Islam are group identities that bind together otherwise fractious communities—that galvanize the populace against foreign invaders. Al Qaeda's modern-day jihad against America is one of a long line of such jihads—like the one declared in Egypt against Napoleon's presence, and the one declared in the Sudan against the British presence. I have actually consulted the text of the fatwa issued in early 19th century Egypt against Napoleon; much of the wording is quite familiar. The common theme is that of the group being under Existential Threat. (This is a recurring theme in the Spin of many aggressive groups, by the way: The Serbians claimed they were being overrun by Muslims, just as America's Extreme Right claims that America's being overrun by illegal immigrants and homosexuals.) The theme of the Existential Threat explains why bin Laden, whom we see as an aggressor, was always declaring the Holy Land under threat from American imperial designs. (Similarly, Hitler, whom we see as an aggressor, was always declaring Germany under threat from "Judaeo-Bolshevism.") Whether or not such men believe their own Spin—we have reason to believe that both Hitler and bin Laden did—is a relevant question: The Spin, it seems, is meant for the self as much as it is for the world.
The use of religion or high-minded secular principles to spin violence points to a larger fact about religions and principles: They are used sometimes to guide conduct, and sometimes to justify conduct. That is, a given body of scripture is subject to manipulation, and can be made to support violence or self-restraint, depending on whether a group or individual wishes it to do so. This is done through the selective presentation of quotations, most often. You can find lines praising peace in the Qur'an just as you can find lines praising infidel-killing. Consider also the well-known eye-for-an-eye / turn-the-other-cheek dichotomy in the Bible. Which is it? Depends on whether you're contemplating a Crusade. Religion doesn't justify violence; religion is used to justify violence. We must never fail to see the Endgame for the Spin.

Kieran Gibbs is about to return to full training and will be pushing for a first-team comeback soon.
The full back has been out since injuring his ankle against Partizan Belgrade on December 8. But Arsène Wenger told TV Online on Monday that the 21-year-old should join in full training on Tuesday and just may make the squad for the FA Cup Third Round tie with Leeds at the weekend.
Before that, on Wednesday, Arsenal face Manchester City in a crucial Premier League game. Thankfully, the Frenchman has no new injury worries.
"Apart from a few bruises we are alright from Birmingham," said Wenger.
"But Kieran Gibbs is very close. He could be in full training again tomorrow and there is a little chance he is available for Saturday."
That will leave just Manuel Almunia (ankle), Abou Diaby (calf) and Thomas Vermaelen (Achilles) on the injury list. The Belgian is penciled in for the end of the month while the other two "are still two or three weeks away".
TV Online subscribers will be able to see the full video interview soon. In it, Arsène Wenger talks about:
- the points haul he'd be happy with over Christmas
- his attitude to transfers now the window is open
- how Roberto Mancini has adapted to English football
- Manchester City's spending power
- the belief from the Chelsea game
- the latest news on Thomas Vermaelen
- the 'hard jobs' Arsenal have done right so far

Weird parts Questions
Ok guys I have the following questions of what these parts are and what they do.
1- Looks like a round pump mounted on the driver side fender well, down low, has brake lines coming in and out of it. Is this the ABS pump?
2- On the front of the engine on the exhaust side, looks like a EGR valve or something and has a hose coming out of it and runs down below into the RF bumper well area. ?? EGR? Where does the hose run to? Very interested in what this is.
EDIT: Looks like items #2 is the air pump system. Guessing the air pump itself is down in the bumper wheel well area and the hose come up to a check valve of some sorts. What a crock. Please tell me you can disconnect the air pump and put a block-off plate on manifold? Not to mention the 10' of vacuum hose running to the damn thing.

Very stiff, lethargic, not eating, vet-no diagnosis- HELP!
Hi I'm a mom of two boxers...
Recently I joined this board because my White Boxer ..(Molson) was having problems with his leg. He seemed to be limping. They thought it might be a cruiciate ligament...so I joined to see what other people have done in the circumstance. He is now doing better....
But I'm back here to see if anyone can help me on my Boxer Puppy who is 8 months old. His name is Rocky. Monday morning he would not eat for me nor drink...all he wanted to do was sleep. He had no personality all day. I noticed that he had chewed up a piece of carpet that was in his kennel so we took him to an emergency visit to the vet. He was lifeless...didn't react to anything. He had a fever and a high white blood count. They sent me home with fluids injected under his skin to keep him hydrated. I was up with him every hour that night feeding him water from a syringe. He wouldn't move nor react to me...besides slightly open his eyes. I took him back first thing that morning....they put him on an Iv since he hadn't eatn since sunday. They did xrays that came out fuzzy but looked as though everything was in his colon. They wanted to keep him on fluids for a bit until they were going to the balium test to see if there was blockage. They called at 11 am and said they didn't do the balium that his fever spiked to 106 and they were afraid their might be blockage and went in for emergency surgery. They were in him for 15 mins found NOTHING. He came out of surgery and had a fever again. After a couple of hours on the iv the doctor gave him Rymodol and Rocky stood up for the first time all day.... The doctor was then wondering if he had HOD Hypertrophic Osteodystrophy. Although it was a guess. He tested negative for lymes disease as that was there second guess. He stayed the night at the ER....and they had him on fluids. He ended up eating some wet food....and drinking water. I picked him up from there in the morning and took him back over to our vet. The vet flat out told me he wasn't sure what was wrong with rock. He said since he was eating i could give him pills...and take him home and watch him. They gave him Trimidoyl and Dolxicide H something i can't remember the name. He came home and was wagging his tail to see molson and all of us. Yet still not rock. He is so mellow and sad. He has pooped drank a little and loves canned food....however its super hard for him to lay down...and get up he really struggles. He woke me up last night because he was whining. He laid in the same position all night and was crying...at first i thought he was dreaming but it seemed that it was alot Of effort for him to stand. We go back to the vet tonight. I am in $1000 dollars and have no diagnosis on what could be wrong with him.
I was wondering if anyone has any thoughts or have been thru a similar situation. I am so run down over this and don't feel like he is getting any better.

Re: Very stiff, lethargic, not eating, vet-no diagnosis- HELP!
I am sorry you and rock are having to go thru this. He's just had stomach surgery and that could be part of why he is having trouble getting up and down. One would be very sore. It takes some time to get over that. Some dogs have lower thresholds of pain so they need stronger pain meds. I hope you have better news with your visit today. Sending you some BF healing vibes for Rocky.

Geez I m so sorry you guys are going through this. At this point I would ask the vet to do a blood panel for toxic substances. If your pup ingested carpet and it passed through I would suspect some of the chemicals in the carpet fiber have been absorbed......just a guess though. I wouldn't definitely ask for complete blood series though.

We did get a blood test done on Monday and his white count was super off...showing that it would be some kind of infection. I know they tested for Lymes and all that, so I am going to ask them tonight about another blood test being down.
Thank you for your thoughts!

Oh that suck as your babies are precious! I, as the others whom have posted, can not tell you what is wrong but will definitely pray for you guys. I am sure as Nano said, just a ton of soreness from the surgery. Since they didn't find anything perhaps a bug that he picked up and hopefully will go through it's phase and pass. I do hope you keep us posted and updated.

This product has been retired from our catalog and is no longer for sale. This page is made available for those looking for datasheets and the simply curious.
Description: Replacement: None. We are no longer carrying this t-shirt in our catalog. This page is for reference only.
More swag? Why not? This SparkFun red tee is a stylish reminder to 'read the ahem full manual', a piece of advice worth spreading! Wear this to your next workshop or hack-a-thon as a public service.
Very dissapointed to see cheapest shipping option, "economy," is more than the price of the shirt–to easily servicable location in MD. Does not make sense.
I'd love to order one of these, but the cheapest shipping option is around the same price as the shirt.
Can't you guys throw one or two of these shirts in a USPS priority Flat Rate box for a few bucks?

locker completed
So I just got done putting a lock right in my front Dana 30 axle. The job itself really isn't that hard to anyone else considering it. I lost like 6 hours trying to get the carrier out not knowing the passenger side is a split axle. A friend came over and figured that out for me and got the carrier out in less then 10 minutes. Putting the locker itself in is pretty self explanatory, just follow the directions and use some grease to hold it all together. I just went for a quick test drive up this short trail that's not really that difficult to begin with, but I'll tell you my jeep ran up that hill when it usually jogs. I can't wait till this weekend when I can go really try the locker out on some more intense terrain.
How was it on the road? Automatic locker? Could you hear it?
When in 2wd you will not notice the front locker, however in 4wd when turning you should hear the locker ratcheting.
I didn't hear anything in 2 wheel drive on the road. Its a lunch box locker I believe. When I was in 4 wheel drive messing around in my driveway I heard it ratcheting and found it really wanting to go straight. I left tire marks on the concrete when turning. When I got it off road, wow you can feel the pull! I can't wait to be able to really go "experiment"

Anyone prefer spartan, Aussie, or lock rite over one another?
nope my Spartan was on sale, that's why I got it.
I got my lock rite on sale from rustys for $210. I thought at that price I couldn't pass it up. I was going to wait on getting a locker till next year but for 200 bucks I jumped on it lol.
Thats a good deal!
I have used Aussie in the past, and have friends that run lock-rites. They are essentially the same thing.
Any preference to put locker in front or rear and why?
Locker the stronger axle, rear first if you can. Although I do enjoy the front locker and feel you can do more with a front locker if you know what you're doing, and can capitalize on drive skill much more.
For a daily driver I would suggest a posi rear and locked front, much better road manners. If you can afford a selectable locker for the rear that is ideal, and dont waste the time or money on the D35. I have a solid axle upfront with a Spartan and get occasional unloading and can hear it when on pavement turning tight. Nothing beats it offroad though. I have leaned not to turn the wheel all the way when turning now on pavement. One thing for sure though is that if I did not swap in a solid axle it would not even be noticeable on road.
When I had General All terrain 31's my buddies with 32" and 33" offroad tires could not keep up at all unless it was just horrible mud in which case my AT's would get packed.
Hhhhmmmmmm. Lots to think about as someone said in prev post rustys offroad has the lock right locker on sale for d35 for $210 and it's usually $310 just saw the good deal and not sure what to do? It is a dd and will see mud dirt and rocks but nothing super major.
I just got home from my first night time trail ride with my newly locked front. There were a couple others on the trail in front of me, and I had to keep waiting for them to back up and try to find new lines cause they kept spinning out. FYI, they were in pickups. I plowed right thru everything without a problem. I am sooooooo impressed with the locker, what a difference! I was up and over everything, rocks, downed trees, mud.....no problems. What a fun night. You almost feel invincible with the locker on the trails.

There's always something happening at The Power Plant in Toronto, and has been ever since its founding 25 years ago on the Lake Ontario waterfront as the most influential not-for-profit exhibitor of contemporary art in Canada. And sometimes the fuss actually has to do with the art.
The art is definitely the focus this weekend as the gallery begins its highly anticipated presentation, running for more than two months and free to the public, of The Clock, Christian Marclay's legendary "ode to time and cinema" – a 24-hour, looped, single-channel video almost a decade in the preparation.
But all too often, the excitement and controversy generated at Power Plant has come from the politics of the place – the comings and goings of personnel, the behind-the-scenes manoeuvrings, the struggles over autonomy, authority and artistic vision in an institution with a peculiar organizational structure and a variety of temperaments.
These politics were thrown into high relief late last month when the gallery's president, Paul Marks, a distinguished orthopaedic surgeon and major art collector, announced his immediate resignation. What shocked the art world about the exit was its suddenness: Marks had been president only 11 weeks. Moreover, he was leaving just six months into the tenure of Gaetane Verna, the Power Plant's new (and seventh) director. Verna herself, hired from the Musee d'art de Joliette in Quebec, succeeded New Zealander Gregory Burke, who'd suddenly announced his resignation, after a six-year run, in February 2011. (Marks "respectfully declined" a request to comment.)
Was this tumult – a not-entirely new phenomenon; Power Plant has had its share of abrupt curatorial and administrative departures since its creation in May 1987 – simply the expected fallout from any major management change within an arts organization, with its ever-tricky dance of artists, curators and connoisseurs, administrators, dealers and donors? Or is the turmoil structural, the result of the Power Plant functioning, in the words of Verna, as "a department" of Harbourfront Centre, founded as a federal Crown corporation in 1972 on Toronto's waterfront but recast in 1991 as a non-profit consortium?
The gallery – which has no permanent collection nor art to sell, and mounts its themed exhibitions using borrowed works – resides, rent-free, in a Harbourfront property. Harbourfront also pays for the gallery's security, garbage collection, building operations and back-office services such as payroll. Harbourfront claims it provides one-third of the gallery's total budget of $3-million.
The governance relationship remains intimate too – "really integrated," in the words of Margaret McNee, a seven-year veteran of the Power Plant board who just this week was elected as Marks' successor. William Boyle, Harbourfront CEO since 1991, actually was the Power Plant's first director and now sits as Harbourfront's representative on the gallery's board of directors. It's the Harbourfront board that approves Power Plant's annual budget. Harbourfront can also nominate gallery directors. Boyle, too, has worked with every Power Plant selection committee to choose the gallery director, and says that Verna, like previous directors, "reports to me . . . and the president of the Power Plant" – a two-tier structure characterized by some as "unwieldy and unworkable."
Boyle's role in Power Plant affairs has long been a contentious one. Some argue he was a necessary "father figure" in the gallery's fledgling years but since then has become a hindrance, exerting a degree of influence out of proportion to what Harbourfront actually provides to the Power Plant. Rumours, for instance, have swirled that one of the reasons for Marks' departure is that Marks wanted to hire a big-name, big-salaried international curator, but Boyle balked. Wayne Baerwaldt, Power Plant's director from 2002-2005, recalls his relationship with Harbourfront as "always problematic. There was always . . . some sort ot expectation that you would always pay heed to the fact Power Plant was a department of Harbourfront."
Should the Power Plant think of going it alone? Could it? "Those conversations have been going on all the time I've been [on the board]," McNee said in an interview. "I would say they're very valuable because they help you focus your thinking about how you finance operations. But in the current environment, I'm not so sure it's a serious conversation; it's an interesting conversation over wine . . . but if you kind of get down to the brass-tacks, we're given a lot to work with in that relationship [with Harbourfront]."
James Fleck, Harbourfront's first president and now chair of the Harbourfront Foundation, argues that if Power Plant board members are serious about achieving autonomy, "all they have to do is just raise another $800,000 a year.'
"The fact is," Fleck said, "Harbourfront is a major partner, not just a little one, and unless the Power Plant board is willing to take on the total responsibility, I think it's smoking the wrong kind of cigarettes."
Boyle this week said he believes Power Plant's history "has probably not been any more challenging than any [other] arts institution," and added: "This type of organization always involves a lot of very passionate people with different viewpoints and postions . . . and sometimes controversy about direction."
Yet the temptation to "grow up and go it alone," to become, say, Canada'a answer to Manhattan's New Museum for Contemporary Art or Boston's Insitute of Contemporary Art, remains. Then again, maybe another institution could play that role – Toronto's Museum of Contemporary Canadian Art, for instance. It's having to vacate the premises it has rented in downtown Toronto since January 2005. Like the Power Plant, it's an exhibition-only institution devoted to themed shows. Might its quest for a new home become the conduit for the energies of the contemporary art crowd?Report Typo/Error

Road Race Track Day at PIR in September
For those that are interested, there is a track day comming up in September that the local Shelby Club chapter hosta and can be attended by anyone that would like to. You have to have helmet, gloves... you know, all of the normal stuff.
Anyway, here is the link for you guys!
You can grab the track pack and the flyer to pass to friends if you like.
I have worked turns for several of the track days and finialy, just last month, got to drive the track in my SVTF myself. [8D] It was AWSOME!!![thumb] Definitely the most fun I have had in my car to date.
I will be building WD40's camera mount for this event, so I can relive this one in all it's glory!
Thought you guys would like to know!
I was planning on attending this event also. I have just picked up some gloves and a few other things. I have installed a camera in my car in the past but don't think I will at this event. Also need to have my tires rotated, Pacific Raceways is hell on tires. Hope Portland is a bit easyer on the rubber.
sweet, thanks for the info.... I am hoping I can go... all dependent on funds, and gas prices... grrr
I had to buy gloves and the sort last time. I did put in some octane booster, but am not really sure if it helped or not. I am really looking forward to the 14th!
Yeah I bought some glove myself. I know of a place up here in WA that sells 101 octane at the pump. Most octane boosters really arn't worth it. They just don't have enouff stuff to rase the octane rating more that 1 point. So just slap in some of the high test and call it good. I really didn't notice anying with I put some of the 101 in.

Nov. 5 (BusinessDesk) - Auckland International Airport, the country's main international gateway, has promoted its general manager retail and commercial Adrian Littlewood as its new boss.
Littlewood will take over as chief executive on Nov. 12, beating out a "significant number of high calibre applicants," the company said in a statement. He joined the airport in 2009, and has grown the company's non-flight annual revenue to some $166 million, or 40 percent of total sales.
"I'm looking forward to leading the airport team to build on the recent growth delivered by the airport and meet the increased market expectations we face," Littlewood said.
"We will continue to work closely with our partners in the tourism and trade sectors to make the most of the opportunities that exist as we move ahead to finalise our master plan of airfield, terminal and land development to meet New Zealand's needs," he said.
Littlewood succeeds Simon Moutter, who left to take the top job at Telecom, the country's second-biggest listed company. Littlewood previously worked at Telecom, where he was responsible for design, pricing and launch of consumer offers across mobile, broadband and landline portfolios.
The new chief executive will be paid a base salary of $725,000 with annual reviews, a short-term incentive of up to $435,000 per annum, and an annual long-term incentive grant of 50 percent of salary if he meets certain targets.
Acting chief executive Simon Robertson will resume his role as chief financial officer after leading Auckland Airport during the interim period. He didn't put his name forward for the top job.
The shares fell 1.5 percent to $2.64 on Friday, and have gained 4.8 percent this year.

It's not a matter of Mathematica. If I remember correctly, at least
since MS-DOS 6.xyz one has to put an ampersand between two or more

Run["mplay32 /play /close " <> file , "& del " <> file]

Oregon isn't the only football program coming under scrutiny for using the scouting service run by Will Lyles.
LSU is now under the NCAA microscope. The school confirmed to Foxsports.com that the school paid $6,000 in December to Complete Scouting Services. Earlier this month, Oregon had confirmed paying $25,000 to the Houston-based company connected to Lyles.
Lyles has drawn attention from the NCAA for his relationship with high school athletes. He served as a mentor to running back Lache Seastrunk, who redshirted this past season in Oregon after signing in 2010. LSU also recruited Seastrunk, the No. 3 tailback in the nation in 2010 and a cousin of LSU freshman tailback Michael Ford.
Citing a person close to the situation, Foxsports.com reported two NCAA investigators interviewed Trevon Randle, who signed with LSU last month, about his contact with Lyles.
The story said LSU assistant coach Brick Haley accompanied Lyles to Clear Springs High in the spring of 2010 to talk to Clear Springs coach Clint Hartman about Randle and that NCAA investigators have also interviewed Hartman and Randle's father Raymond Edwards.
Randle said he consulted with his parents before choosing LSU and that his father is "pretty tight" with Lyles. Randle said he later spent time with Lyles at LSU summer camps.
"Now, that's a funny guy right there," Randle said of Lyles. "That guy right there, he can eat. He knows about every restaurant in Baton Rouge, and he introduced me to all of them. If it wasn't for him, I wouldn't know anything about the food places down there.
LSU would be guilty of breaking NCAA recruiting rules if Lyles helped steer Randle to LSU.
"No, I cannot say anything about that," Haley said in a phone interview with Gannett Louisiana on Tuesday when asked how well he knew Lyles. "Michael Bonnette is handling that. We've been told not to say anything about it."
Michael Bonnette, LSU's football sports information director, said Tigers coach Les Miles and assistant coaches know Lyles but he doesn't know how well.
"I don't know how to characterize their relationship," Bonnette said Tuesday. "I know LSU paid Complete Scouting Services and received film of players and other information or data. That's commonly what the LSU coaches get from the recruiting services - film, statistics."
Bonnette said LSU no longer uses Lyles' scouting service but did not explain why.

Help Needed...question
I have a 2001 Wrangler Sahara and went to install my new Rock Hard Rock Sliders today and to do this you have to remove the side panels that come with the jeep. After I removed the side panels I went to install the rockers and the holes from the side panels are close to an inch above the rocker plate. Any ideas of what to do? Has anyone else with a 2001 Sahara experienced this? If so can anyone recommend a rocker guard that is tall enough to cover the holes? Any help would be very much appreciated. This really sucks as I was looking forward to having my new rocker guards on!
PCS, shockworks, bluetourchfab, and a couple others. will cover it all.
I think you need to specify sahara when you order so that you get the taller ones to cover all of the holes.
Thanks for the replies.
Bringing back a couple month old thread. I'm looking into the same thing. I just bought my first jeep, a 2000 Sahara and am getting my wishlist of modifcations together.
What did you end up getting? The shrockworks look pretty hard core. A number of the sales sites (including bluetorchfab) discuss the wheel flares. Any thoughts on keeping the stock or is moving to something else (ABS material?) recommended? Not a lot of thread here, but I see some complaints due to the fact they're colored and show scratches easier.
Pardon the ignorance, but I couldn't find "PCS" anywhere. I'm guess that's initials of some company? Any other recommended manufactures?

By Marc Dresner, IIR USA
Large corporations with established brands and entrenched cultures tend to become more conservative and risk averse over time, which can obviously hinder the ability to innovate.
As Global Director of Innovation, Moises Norena's job is to make sure that doesn't happen at Whirlpool (NYSE: WHR); no easy trick when you're dealing with a 100-year-old market leader.
A key tenet of Norena's innovation playbook is to embrace and learn from failure. "Foster a culture where people are encouraged to try and [if they do not succeed] take those learnings back to the project," said Norena.
"Failure should not automatically force a project to be killed," he added. "Adjust accordingly and move to a new phase. That's a critical mindset that allows organizations to think differently when it comes to new ventures."In this episode of Forward Focus—a special interview series featuring the thought leaders and experts at the forefront of innovation—Norena discusses:
• Critical elements to creating a sustainable culture of innovation
• Innovation tools and process fundamentals
• Talent and staffing for innovation success
• The recession's impact on innovation, and much more…
Listen to this Forward Focus podcast!
Read the interview transcript!
Editor's note: Moises Norena will be participating in a panel discussion titled "Measuring the Impact of Innovation Initiatives for your Organization" at FEI 2012 May 15-17 in Orlando, Florida.

SailNet Community (http://www.sailnet.com/forums/)

- - Gluten Free and Cruising (http://www.sailnet.com/forums/provisioning/56357-gluten-free-cruising.html)
Gluten Free and Cruising
We are preparing to cruise and one topic this of great concern is the availability to get gluten free food along the way. Over the last few years it has gotten much easier to shop for groceries that are gluten free in the US. Does anybody have experience in other countries? My husband gets really sick if he gets even the slightest amount of gluten in his diet.
I can not consume wheat or corn and in all my years of planning and dreaming I never thought about my food issues. I am so glad you asked the question and hope that you get good feed back.
Welcome to the club. In the last five years the entire world has quite literally become aware of celiac disease and there are large amonts of gluten-free food being made and exported from Italy, Israel, Canada and other nations.
The problem in world traveling will be translation. Literally. You try to explain to a cook that you can eat "corn flour" but not "wheat flour", and why "garbanzo bean flour" is perfectly safe--unless there was cross-contamination, try translating that. There are some translations of "gluten" handout cards available these days, and international awareness (a great of it thanks to the previous pope, who would not let a RC girl in NJ eat wheat-free communion wafers and created a blowup) but personally?
The only way I feel semi-safe is to simply and totally avoid the chance of gluten.
There are RICE noodles, commonly sold in oriental supermarkets the world over, which are safe. And gluten-free foods, pricey but available in major markets all over now. Best bet is still going to be like home: Don't eat anything "processed", don't eat out if the kitchen is likely to be very busy. Use the same care you would at home, and if someone asks "Would you like a..." Just smile and say yes, I really would, but I might burst into flames and explode if I ate one.
The humor usually slows them down enough to get their attention. And assistance.
There is actually some type of gene therapy that went into clinicl trials earlier this year, and slim hope that in five more years, we'll be able to take a pill (no doubt a $10 pill) and then simply EAT again.
Having learned slowy, repeatedly, and the HARD way that even chicken soup often has gluten added to it, I've become a bit like (shudder) Ted Nugent. If I didn't kill eat, grow it, or read the label on it--I won't eat it.
I'm told that the expression on my face is particularly mournful when the crew are all chowing down into fried fish & seafood, there's just nothing safe for me to eat in those places.
Hellosailor - I read all the labels since I am head cook and bottle washer along with grocery shopper. After knowing that my husband has Celiacs for the last several years, I have come to depend on certain things like potato starch, corn masa, and rice flour. It is still difficult to find some of these at times. I am just hoping that a lot of the things available here are available elsewhere also. Our eating out is very limited, my husband has something against asking for the cook to come out and talk about what is available so we only eat at places that actually offer a gluten free menu and you might as well forget eating stuff that friends have prepared unless one of us is there to assist. I can't blame him on that one.
Maize, rice, sorghum, millet, oats, buckwheat, fonio, quinoa, and lots of other grains including amaranth, assorted grains mostly grown and used in Africa, and others, can all be purchased in bulk and stored for extended periods of times. So long as you don't mind eating unleavened bread instead of yeast rolls and loafs there is absolutely nothing wrong with using those other grains instead of wheat. I don't know anything about Celiac disease, so it may be that those other grains are not allowed either, but I doubt that they have any (or much) gluten in them because that is why you can't use them to bake a leavened bread, they won't rise. Bulk grains are terrific, they store well for extended periods of time and then when you need them you just grind them into flour and use them for whatever you want.
You can still have yeast breads without gluten. Many folks are confused with whether yeast has gluten in it, it normally does not.
The problem is not just the grains or the storage, but insidious cross-contamination. Celiac disease is like radiation poisoning: Every time you are hit by gluten, the damage becomes cumulative, it rarely if ever fully heals unless caught very very young. Eventually the intestinal villi just die off and do not regrow at all, leaving you without the ability to digest dairy products and metabolize many nutrients. Somewhere around that time, a number of autoimmune diseases ranging from cancers to arthritis also trigger--and don't go away. So celiac is not a case of "Oh, I had explosive diarrhea today, I'll be all right tomorrow" it is a case of every time you are exposed, you come closer to permanent and potentially fatal damage.
The situation doesn't have to be all that black,the trick is, to be very very careful about keeping your total "radiation" exposure down, for life.
Cross-contamination is a bitch. If you eat oats (which are safe) they are normally rotated in fields with wheat, so there is always some wheat content in "safe" crops like oats. (Barring some farms that take great pains to not rotate and to use totally separate mills.) When flours are milled, one mill and one set of millstones are typically used for all grains--more contamination.
Potato chips? All cooked in the same oil, if one batch of BBQ chips has wheat as a binder in the spices--they're all contaminated now.
Order a safe order of scrambled eggs in a diner? No, that's not safe either, if the diner just grilled a cheese sandwhich on the grill there's gluten in the grill oil, your eggs just picked it up unless the grill was rinsed down. Chinese food in a wok? The leftover soy sauce from the meal prepared before yours is a contaminant.
It can take a LONG hard sleuthing job to figure it all out. And, as little as five years ago, this was all almost unknown--even among physicians and internists.
Corn tortillas pack well as an alternative to travelling bread. They also remind you of why Mexico failed to conquer the world. (G)
Interesting hellosailor, thank you for the information. It prompted me to read some wikipedia entries about it, I had no idea! It sounds like a lot of people too, like 1.6% of the population and possibly even more, that is like almost 1 person in 50. I had heard of the disease but I thought it was more rare, though it does seem like every day I hear someone saying they have wheat allergies or something, I just figured most of those people also had about 50 other things they had self-diagnosed. :D
Well, the percents are still only guesses, and they vary with the genepool (i.e. higher in Irish, Scandanavian, lower in African) so they're a bit hard to pin down. Then, until ten years ago, a diagnosis of celiac was almost impossible. The tests to confirm blood fractions didn't exist. The intestinal biopsies were still rare science that no one thought to perform or knew how to interpret. And most of the time, even 5 years ago, it just got called "irritable bowel syndrome" and if folks died in their 60's or 70's from intestinal cancer...it was just written off as death from cancer. Rather than death from cancer caused by celiac disease.
"Syndrome", by the way, doesn't mean "disease". It literally means "there's a whole batch of complaints about this and that, but we really have no idea what the real problem causing all these pains is." Sometimes IBS means one or another specific disease, sometimes it just means "your guts aren't working right".
And it gets worse because now there are three "nervous systems" recognized in the human body. One of them is largely the digestive tract and the associated nerves running up to the brain, which control serotonin metabolism. Serotonin metabolism being a big big part of clinical depression, a major feedback system in the body, which is actually controlled by the digestive tract and another victim of celiac disease.
And then there are the many fine people (who are of great benefit to celiacs because they double or triple the size of the food market) who are simply nuts and claim they can't eat wheat or gluten because it is 'evil' somehow. OK, they're nuts, clinically certifiable, but they're also the reason why there are now maybe six gluten free "beers" on US market. Sometimes nuts is good, right? (G)
BTW, as an "expatriate" Guinness fan...if anyone asks how gf beer tastes, the answer is simply "Well, it is the best beer I have had in years." A left-handed compliment at best.
It was really funny watching my husband drink one of those gluten free beers for the first time about 6 months ago. He would take a sip and then wait a while and then take another sip. He reacted so violently to beer in his younger years that he was scared to try it even though he knew what his problem was.

Roy Has A One Track Mind
Like any man....
Okay, so it's the middle of the day. A patient calls to say she's running late. I have a spare moment. I decide to text Roy--haven't talked to him in a bit, just some real brief e-mails-- why not? So I send a text message: Will there be lines?
What would you think if you got a random text message to your phone in the middle of the work day: Will there be lines?
I expected a reply: "?" Or: "lines?" Lines in the sand, lines on a page, lines on my face, lines of what, for what, by what?
Did Roy ask? Did he so much as flinch? Within moments, the reply came: On July 11th? Yes.
He knew. Or I knew what was on his mind, what's always on Roy's mind. Will there be lines? Yes. July 11th? The date the new iPhone comes out. And yes, I did mean: Will there be lines to purchase the new iPhone? Somehow, Roy knew what I was thinking. Hard to be cryptic these days.

We are trying to find/explore answer for unnecessary question. Everyone of us doesn't find same meaning for the word "hard" itself. Anyway for the sake of adding crazyness:
1. Someone in the early stages of learning may find everything as struggle (applies to both design and code).
2. Someone skilled in certain things may feel ease.
3 & 1. Someone skilled in certain thing may try to push boundaries and wantedly face struggle.
This is kind of sandwich you can't differentiate about which phase you are struggling on design and which phase you are struggling on code – while doing a project.
Ease or struggle may vary based on project/task/goal and not purely based on our classification of design & code.
Both are harder.
The most valuable thing I expected was to temporarily liberate from profession when I want and get opportunity to dwell deep into profession when I need. Envato's variety of marketplaces making this practically possible for a decent span of time in my life.
Motion graphics category, 14 days not yet reviewed.
+1 Particularly useful for the markets where just one or two category items dominate the overall top seller exposure and other categories stay out of proportion.
Aw… Showing country badge is not something related to pride. It is just one more information, some buyers may find it useful and some not. Saying this way because this is actually a marketplace community. Not a social network.

10 Of The Most Memorable Matches From The WWE's Attitude Era
Buckle up, bucko; we're about to choke-slam your nostalgia bone so hard you'll be seeing stars. Re-live the revolution with WWE '13, the next groundbreaking installment in the most critically acclaimed wrestling series of all-time.
10. Bret Hart vs. Stone Cold Steve Austin at WrestleMania 13, 1997
The only thing that stopped superstar Steve Austin from sweeping this landmark bout with rival Hart was a devastating bleed-out in the match's final moments.
9. The Rock vs. Triple H at SummerSlam, 1998
This SummerSlam '98 ladder match was a legitimate "lightning in a bottle" moment for two of the Attitude Era's best and brightest, and a key moment in one of the WWE's most bitter rivalries.
8. Stone Cold Steve Austin vs. Kane at the WWE Royal Rumble, 2001
A landmark moment in the career of landmark wrestler Steve Austin, this iconic bout secured the Texas Rattlesnake's spot in the WWE Hall of Fame as he walked home with a record-breaking three Royal Rumble wins.
7. Mankind vs. The Rock at The Survivor Series, 1998
The tension at this legendary bout was palpable as foes Foley and Rocky savagely battered and bruised one another, culminating in a shocking double-turn and Championship win from the People's Champ.
6. Triple H vs. Cactus Jack at Royal Rumble, 2000
Ask any wrestling heavyweight to name the most crowd-pleasing match of the Attitude Era, and there's a damn good chance this barbaric street brawl would snag the number one spot.
5. Undertaker vs. Stone Cold Steve Austin at SummerSlam, 1998
Jaws dropped at the merciless onslaught offered up by these former tag-team partners, but it was Taker's brutalizing legdrop through the announcers' table that had onlookers talking about this match for years after the fact.
4. The Rock vs. Mankind at Royal Rumble, 1999
A barbarous bout that still sends chills down onlookers' spines, this savage beating offered up by the fan-favorite People's Champion marks one of the most memorable moments in the WWE's rudest, crudest age.
3. Triple H vs. Stone Cold Steve Austin at No Way Out, 2001
The earth trembled when the WWE's premiere titans faced off at this groundbreaking slugfest, and with the ruthless victory of love-to-hate-him heel Triple H in the match's final moments, it felt like a bold exclamation mark on one of the circuit's most vicious rivalries.
2. The Undertaker vs. Mankind at King of the Ring, 1998
It's pretty much impossible to sit through this ferocious Hell in a Cell match without cringing, or at least admiring the inhuman resilience of Mick "Mankind" Foley as he's dropped, repeatedly, from the circuit's iconic cage. The real-life Foley stumbled away from this loss with a bevy of injuries, but secured his spot as one of the WWE's top performers.
1. The Rock vs. Stone Cold Steve Austin at WrestleMania 17, 2001
If the world were a fair, just place, this monumental match between the WWE's two top stars would be taught in schools and seminars across the country. Housing one of the circuit's most devastating plot twists as the Bionic Redneck took a harrowing heel turn, this brutal bout capped off the Attitude Era in a suitably epic fashion.

Sanchez' 6 Hits Paces Offensive Outburst
Freddy Sanchez had six hits in six trips to the plate, knocked in three and scored four times to pace a season high 18 hit attack. Andy LaRoche and Jason Jaramillo each had three hits. Andy LaRoche drove in two runs and Nate McLouth contributed the go ahead RBI with a two run homer off of losing pitcher Neal Cotts.
Neither starter was around long as both Paul Maholm (4 IP, 7 H, 7 ER) and Ryan Dempster (4 IP, 7 H, 6 ER) were used as BP pitchers.
It was a see-saw event as there were seven ties or lead changes. Tom Gorzelanny pitched two innings to get the win. He was followed by five pitchers. Matt Capps was hit in the elbow by a line drive in the 9th inning and was pulled from the game. The P-G reports that there is no "structural damage" to his elbow. Sean Burnett relieved to seal the game...

Helen Czerski: Low carbon flight on the horizon?
30 May 2014
UCL Mechanical Engineering research fellow Dr Helen Czerski is lobbying for £10 Million to help develop zero carbon flight in a high-profile public science campaign.
Helen, a bubble scientist, is fronting 'Flight'; one of six competing proposals facing a public vote in the "Longitude Prize 2014", featured on a recent BBC Horizon special.
Flight asks "How can we fly without damaging the environment?" underlining the fact that should aircraft carbon emissions continue to rise, they could contribute up to 15 per cent of global warming from human activities within the next 50 years.
Helen said "Current commercial
aviation relies solely on kerosene, and our demand for fast travel is burning
more and more fossil fuel every year. There are some fascinating
potential alternatives, but we need a new focus on them if they're to be a part
of our future.
If you vote for this topic, the challenge will be for a team to build a plane that can fly at the same speed as current aircraft, entirely carbon- free, and which is based on a technology that can be scaled up. Watch the Horizon, look at the material online, and have your say!"
The other themes looking for support are:
- Dementia (fronted by UCL's Dr Kevin Fong)- How can we help people with dementia live independently for longer?
- Water- How can we ensure everyone can have access to safe and clean water?
- Paralysis- How can we restore movement to those with paralysis?
- Food - How can we ensure everyone has nutritious, sustainable food?
- Antibiotics - How can we prevent the rise of resistance to antibiotics?
This year's Longitude Prize marks the 300th anniversary year of the Longitude Act. In 1714 the British government challenged the scientific community to solve the greatest scientific challenge of that century – how to pinpoint a ship's location at sea by its longitude.
The prize, dubbed 'Britain's got science talent', is not the only competition that Helen finds herself involved in. The physicist and oceanographer was pleasantly surprised to be nominated as columnist of the year for her BBC Focus magazine column, alongside AA Gill, Victoria Coren and Danny Wallace.
Voting for the Longitude Prize 2014 is open until June 25th 2014.

My work is about following each piece and being intuitively
open to an unspoken dialogue that spans a breath of choices and unknown exit
points. My interest in memory is the makings of the complexities of a souvenir.
The moments captured with an object that creates a personal language. For me
being an artist is an act of prosaic looking that feeds
making for heterogeneous artefacts that confront
the real world, curated by movement of life that allows the work to be
witnessed in challenging surroundings. I see my work as an anthology of
objects, each being a unique incomplete tangible question that collects
personal provenance. What stimulates my work and research is the ongoing amassments
of stuff I collect and own. Obsessions happen without acknowledgement and my
inventory shows no boundaries to objects, just an attraction that I find it
hard to explain other than: we find each-other.

AMES, Iowa – Poverty statistics have climbed during the past decade, and food insecurity rates have increased across Iowa and the nation as a whole. Researchers from Iowa State University have assembled the latest data on these issues in a series of publications, now available online.
The Poverty and Food Needs Profiles, organized by county, can be downloaded at no charge from the ISU Extension and Outreach website at http://www.icip.iastate.edu/special-reports/poverty.
"Each profile provides indicators of food and poverty needs within a county," said Kimberly Greder, an extension specialist and associate professor of human development and family studies at Iowa State University. "Information pertaining to income, health insurance, housing costs, participation in assistance programs, prevalence to food stores, vehicle access, chronic disease and obesity, and other health and socio-economic factors are included in each county profile."
The profiles provide factual data about the characteristics of Iowa communities. The information can be used to see where Iowa communities stand compared to national statistics, Greder said. "The profiles can help with community planning and offer a fuller picture of the well-being of the county population."
Local leaders and community advocates can use the data to help characterize their community's population for presentations and grant proposals, Greder said. "The data will be helpful for decision-making. Through it, Iowans can assess the needs of counties and determine where to focus."
Liesl Eathington, with the ISU Department of Economics and the Regional Capacity Analysis Program (RECAP) at Iowa State, prepared the county profiles.
