Housework and families to blame for girl dropouts in Uganda: study
By Katy Migiro
NAIROBI (Thomson Reuters Foundation) - Excessive housework and lack of parental support are the main reasons why girls in Uganda drop out of school, research showed, highlighting the importance of family in achieving gender equality.
In contrast, girls whose mothers completed secondary education were 67 percent less likely to drop out of school, the Washington-based International Center for Research on Women (ICRW) found in a survey of more than 800 girls in Uganda's northwestern West Nile region.
"Girls must feel support and encouragement from their parents, the school itself, as well as the wider community so that they come to believe in themselves, their capacity, and can thrive," the study's lead researcher Kirsten Stoebenau said in a statement.
"Education is a cornerstone for women's empowerment and a critical part of any effort to end poverty."
Girls who said domestic chores had interfered with schooling when they were 12 years old were three times more likely to drop out, and those who said their parents did not support their education were twice as likely to drop out, the study found.
"I used to do [housework] while my brother went to school without having to do anything first," Unzia, an 18-year-old wife and mother, told ICRW. "I would reach school late and find the teacher already in class."
When her father died, the family stopped payed her school fees but not her brother's.
West Nile has the highest gender gap in school enrolment in Uganda. There are eight girls for every 10 boys in primary school, and six girls to 10 boys in secondary. Continued...

I dont like them. Some people do. Its just preference.
This is a discussion on Mag Safety or not...on an M&P? within the Defensive Carry Guns forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; My buddy is looking at one. He's not getting a thumb safety, but he's unsure about whether to get a magazine safety. Thoughts?...

Never been a fan of magazine safeties.
I have a very strict gun control policy: if there's a gun around, I want to be in control of it.

Mas Ayoob does have some evidence of cases where officers have saved their life by being able to dump the mag during the middle of a gun grab attempt and grappling over maintaining control of their weapon. That's the theory behind having a "magazine disconnect" on a firearm.
However, a vast number of people (myself included) do not like one on my weapons. I'd much rather be able to have the ability to shoot that round in the chamber if I'm ever rushed while in the middle of a reload (provided I haven't run the gun dry prior to performing a reload).
So, it's completely a personal preference. There are arguments to be made for both cases. Having someone try to disarm you and having a struggle over your gun is a real issue. Especially during a "contact distance" encounter with bad guys.
Also, what are the chances of someone trying to rush you in the middle of a "tactical reload" where you still have a round in the pipe. The high stress stakes of a real gunfight, you're most likely going to be performing any reloads because the slide has locked back on a totally empty gun. Who has time, or wherewithal to count rounds during a real gunfight?
So there you go. Know the issues facing you with each type of mechanism and make your decision accordingly.
Semper Fi
"The gun is the great equalizer... For it is the gun, that allows the meek to repel the monsters; Whom are bigger, stronger and without conscience, prey on those who without one, would surely perish."
If you get an M&P with a mag safety,the slide will not have that nasty warning.
I am told,you can then remove the mag safety and have a beautiful slide.
I would never do that.

Its all what you get used to. I am ok with it as long as I know how the weapon works. My preference would be no mag safety

Kain Colter has yet to delve deeply into the Mississippi State scouting report, but it doesn't take extensive film study to realize the talents of Johnthan Banks. The senior cornerback won the Jim Thorpe Award, given to the nation's top defensive back.
"A guy who's the best DB in the nation, he's going to make plays out there." said Colter of Banks. "We're going to have to work around that. I'm sure he'll make his plays on that day, but I like our guys, too. Our guys have been against some good corners, good DBs, and they're not going to shy away from a challenge."
Banks stands out on the Mississippi State roster. However, the Bulldogs are loaded with playmakers that are keeping Coach Pat Fitzgerald busy as he plans the playbook.
Once finals week at Northwestern concludes, the Wildcats will begin to review the detailed film and scouting reports of the Bulldogs, then work the game plan into form before departing to Jacksonville at the start of game week.
"We're going to have to have our best couple weeks of preparation to get ready for it," Fitzgerald said. "But the guys are hungry. It's a big game for our seniors, a huge game for our program. Playing in an awesome venue on January 1st is a special opportunity."
The Bulldogs pose a challenge when on defense. The unit ranks 28th in the nation in scoring defense and 30th in run-stopping. Linebackers Cameron Lawrence and FOX Sports NEXT Freshman All-American Benardrick McKinney lead a stifling front seven.
"They've got some big guys up front, some pretty good DBs, and some linebackers that can run around and make plays," Colter said. "They're an athletic group, well coached, and they're going to be a good challenge."
NU must expect the unexpected when the Bulldogs are on offense. Mississippi State presents a balanced attack mixed with precision passing and downhill power running. Fitzgerald likened MSU to another MSU—Michigan State.
"Dan [Mullen] does a terrific job schematically," Fitzgerald said. "They've got great balance when you look at that offensively. There are not a lot of things that are going to tip what they're doing."
Making its fifth consecutive bowl appearance, Northwestern has made it a goal to end the program's 64-year bowl victory drought. Standing in the way is a tough Mississippi State team.
"They're very, very physical, very well coached, and play with a terrific effort," Fitzgerald said. "It's going to be a fun challenge."

Profit Financial Corp.
Profit Financial Corporation
[Note -- As of this writing (9-28-97), the common stock of Profit Financial Corp. is not traded on a domestic stock exchange. It is listed as an Over-the-Counter, Bulletin Board stock. This means that until now, the company has not filed for and/or has not met the minimum financial requirements for listing on the Nasdaq. The company has filed documents with the NASD requesting that its stock be listed on the Nasdaq Small Cap market. This is still pending. Currently, the stock is not considered by most brokerage houses as a marginable security.]
Profit Financial Corp opened up the month of August trading at $6 per share. In the 32 trading days since then, the stock has risen 650%. What has prompted such a fiery and meteoric rise in these shares? What incredible news, what marvelous discovery, what groundbreaking revelation is responsible for such a majestic performance? Not much. Profit Financial has issued three press releases in the past few weeks:
1. Profit Financial expects third and fourth quarter revenue to be better than last year.
2. Profit Financial will split 3-for-1. (This was announced in early August and has already happened.)
3. Profit Financial has filed for listing on the Nasdaq Small Cap market. (It has not yet been approved.)
That's it.
Background -- A 650% rise in stock price, in and of itself, is not a reason to be negative on a stock. It's only after looking at the underlying business that one might get concerned. Profit Financial is a holding company for Wade Cook Seminars Inc. and Lighthouse Publishing Inc. Wade Cook, a self-described "cab driver," has written 15 books on subjects ranging from real estate, the stock market, and the Bible (Business Buy the Bible). Not bad for a cab driver. His company also conducts seminars around the country that preach his teachings. The books, audio and video tapes, and seminars are the primary souce of revenue for Profit Financial.
This company has more subsidiaries and subcorporations than Freddy Kreuger has movies. All totaled, there are 15 subsidiaries is this holding company. Remember, this is a very small OTC:BB stock. We're not talking about some major multi-billion dollar conglomerate here.
The Business -- As mentioned above, Profit Financial is a holding company. Several of the companies in this holding company are structured so that Wade Cook benefits more than the shareholders. Let's look at the two major subsidiaries and examine the relationships to Wade Cook.
Wade Cook Seminars Inc. (WCSI) conducts all of the seminars where Wade and his instructors teach his methods. These seminars charge big bucks ($4000+) to attend. The material taught in these seminars is not owned by WCSI. Wade Cook Seminars Inc. licenses all of the material that they teach from a privately held company named "Money Chef."
Guess who owns 100% of Money Chef? Wade Cook.
The deal that Money Chef has with Profit Financial states that Money Chef (remember -- 100% owned by Wade Cook) will receive anywhere from 10-50% of the revenue derived from the seminars. Money Chef (Mr. Cook) can grab up to half of the total revenue from all the seminars and legally never have to share that with Profit Financial shareholders. Currently, Money Chef is only taking 10% ($4 million last year) of the revenue, but that can change. Oddly enough, Profit Financial Investor Relations couldn't elaborate on the nature or length of the contract.
Although it's highly unlikely that Money Chef would ever pull the rug out from under WCSI by refusing to license the material (Mr. Cook also owns 60.4% of Profit Financial), it still represents a significant risk. After all, he could have structured this anyway he wanted and he chose to structure it as two separate entities. Why not just sell the material, in whole, to WCSI?
Lighthouse Publishing Inc. is 100% owned by Profit Financial and publishes all of the written, audio, and video material. The publishing deal is basically structured as a 50-50 split between Mr. Cook and Lighthouse. Again, he's grabbing 50% of the money for himself and not sharing that with the Profit Financial shareholders. Additionally, all of the expenses associated with the publishing of the materials are incurred by Lighthouse, thus further reducing an already diminished revenue stream. Not very shareholder friendly.
Questionable Practices? As if the business structure of Profit Financial weren't shareholder unfriendly enough, there are some unsettling revelations about Mr. Cook that also raise the spectre of doubt in one's mind about how interested he is in creating shareholder value. From company documents filed with the SEC:
The State of Arizona commenced an administrative proceeding against Wade B. Cook and his former businesses American Business Alliance and Monarch Funding Corporation in February, 1989. The State of Arizona issued an administrative order, on or about May 1989, concluding that Mr. Cook and his businesses had violated various securities laws, including anti-fraud provisions, and as a result, ordered them to (1) pay over $390,000 in restitution, (2) jointly and severally pay a $150,000 administrative penalty, and (3) to cease and desist the allegedly fraudulent conduct. Mr. and Mrs. Cook filed for bankruptcy under Chapter 7 in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Phoenix, Arizona. The bankruptcy was discharged in September 1987 and the State of Arizona indicted Mr. Cook on 18 counts of felony. (SEC Filing 10-12/G (4/30/97)
All of the 18 counts of fraud were dismissed due to the double-jeopardy clause and no jury judgement was ever rendered. Unfortunately, this doesn't offer much solace.
In the end, the company is structured in what seems to be a very unfriendly way for all shareholders except Wade Cook and his family. There are allegations of wrongdoing that, despite being dismissed, still make one feel uneasy and worried about the motivations of Wade Cook and Profit Financial as an investment.

FLORENCE, SC - The Francis Marion University women's basketball team learned Sunday night that it has earned a third straight invitation to the NCAA Division II National Tournament, and that the Patriots will be the third seed in the Southeast Regional to be played in Greenwood, S.C., on Friday, Saturday, and Monday (March 12, 13, 15). The three-day regional will be hosted by Lander University in its 2,500-seast Finis Horne Arena.
The 64-team field announced on Sunday night included 22 automatic qualifiers and 42 at-large selections. Winners of each of the eight regionals will advance to St. Joseph, Mo., for the Elite Eight on March 23, 24 and 26.
Francis Marion, which finished with the second-best record during the Peach Belt Conference regular season and lost in Sunday's conference tournament championship game, owns a 26-4 record and will face the sixth seed, Newberry College (21-7), on Friday at a time to be determined.
FMU is making its third straight appearance in the national tournament under third-year head coach Heather Macy, and the program's eighth appearance overall since moving to NCAA affiliation in 1992. The Patriots earned invitations for five consecutive years between 1997 and 2001, reaching the round of Sweet Sixteen in four straight years (1998-2001) and making the 1998 Final Four. In 2008, FMU hosted the regional as the sixth seed, and last year the Patriots again reached the Sweet Sixteen as the fourth seed in the Southeast.
In addition to FMU and Newberry, the other teams in the Southeast Regional are No. 1 seed Lander (25-3), No. 2 seed Clayton State University (24-6), No. 4 seed Lenoir-Rhyne College (21-7), No. 5 seed Carson-Newman College (23-6), No. 7 seed Tusculum College (19-9), and No.8 seed Anderson University (20-10).
Four first-round games will be played on Friday (March 12). The semifinals will be played on Saturday (March 13) with the championship game set for Monday night (March 15).
Should Francis Marion win its first game, the Patriots would face the Clayton State/Tusculum winner in the semifinals.
FMU owns a 2-3 record against the other teams in the regional. The Patriots lead the all-time series with Newberry 21-3, but the two teams have not met since Dec. 16, 2006, when Newberry claimed a 63-42 home win.
The three automatic berths in the Southeast Region were secured by Clayton State (winner of the Peach Belt Conference Tournament), Anderson (Conference Carolinas Tournament champion), and Tusculum (South Atlantic Conference Tournament winner).

Researchers who created a so-called superstrain of H5N1 bird flu say the virus may not be as lethal or as virulent as has been widely suggested.
This week, at a meeting of experts attending the American Society for Microbiology (ASM) in Washington, D.C., Ron Fouchier of the Erasmus Medical Center who led one of two groups that developed the man-made strain of H5N1 told his colleagues that two misconceptions about his work have circulated in the media.
The first is that the strain he generated in the lab was easily spread, Fouchier said. In testing the transmissibility of the virus among ferrets in the lab (ferrets are often used to study flu because the animals are a good model for how humans would respond to the virus), he found that, in fact, not all healthy ferrets that were exposed to the coughs and sneezes of sick animals became infected.

I've seen a lot of 2CVs this summer in Chicago (but never that Charleston on the 1st page).
I even saw one merging off of I-90 onto Washington street downtown. The owner must have modified its engine.
2CVs were considered "artsy" by Europeans and Europhiles back in the 70's and 80's, but I wouldn't own one in 2012. You're relegated to driving on Sunday evenings (mornings are now too hectic) with the Model A crowd.
I did want one as a kid, mainly because Snoopy drove one:

i think these are really neat cars, and from what ive been led to beleive are fairly straightforward mechanically as theyre early enough in the citroen years to not have many of the hydraulic doo-dads that the later cars did... even with the hydraulic parts id love to have one of these just for its weirdness factor
too expensive over here though...

I haven't watched this in nearly 20 years. I love it even more. Charles Schultz was a genius (and fyi, the chateau they go to actually exists)
"We were all talking about how dangerous how the French highways were,' Romney was to tell the Boston Globe almost 20 years later. .
Literally as we were having that conversation, boom, we were hit. It happened so quickly ... there was no braking and no honking.
The other car - driven by a Catholic priest - had missed a curve and crashed into theirs , knocking Romney unconscious
This is not to say that I don't like muscle or open-top sports cars!

From Exalted - Unofficial Wiki
Terrestrial Melee Charms
As thought of by the Nerdy Boyz
Whirling Ember Defence
Cost: 2 motes Duration: Instant Type: Reflexive Min Melee: 2 Min Essence: 1 Prereq: None.
As a flame radiates heat to all who come near, so can a Chosen of the Dragons intercept all incoming attacks. Spend 2 motes to re-roll any parry attempts. This re-roll must be taken, but can be used to negate a botch. Only one re-roll per parry is allowed.
Mana-Consuming Flame Method
Cost: 1+ motes, 1 Willpower Duration: Instant Type: Reflexive Min Melee: 5 Min Essence: 3 Prereq: Whirling Ember Defence, Stoking Bonfire Method.
The Dragon-Blood's weapon ignites with the purifying flames of Hesiesh, to consume utterly any purely Essence-based attacks. The Dragon-Blood must spend essence equal to that used to create the attack (minimum 1) and make a parry attempt using their Essence + Melee (+ Specialties + Weapon Bonuses), successes subtract from the opponents auto-successes (if any) first, then as normal from the attacks successes so long as at least one success is achieved, the attack is completely prevented, however, if the attack would have done more damage than double the weapon's base damage, the weapon is destroyed, if mundane. Artifacts are immune to this damage. Note, the attack must consist of Essence only, no physical components at all. This explicitely includes that Abyssal Performance Charm, Crypt Bolt, Sidereal Arrows Made from Whispers, Blazing Solar Bolts and the like, but not Phantom Arrows, Sidereal Arrows Made from Dinner-Plates, Lunar Log Arrows etc.
Blazing Comet-Halting Prana
Cost: 5 motes, 1 Willpower Duration: Instant Type: Reflexive Min Melee: 5 Min Essence: 4 Prereq: Mana-Consuming Flame Method, Portentous Comet Deflection.
At this level of skill, the Dragon-Blood may attempt to parry even the powerfully augmented attacks of the Anathema. The Dragon-Blood may make a parry attempt at a Difficulty of the opponents Essence, if even a single success is rolled, the attack is deflected.
Thrashing Bonfire Technique
Cost: 2 motes + 1 mote per person Duration: Turn Type: Simple Min. Melee: 3 Min. Essence: 2 Prereq: Whirling-Ember Defense
The Exalt using this charm has learned how to use the wild thrashing movements of a raging fire to improve his ability to get his weapon in the way of an enemies attack. The Dragon-Blood spins and twirls his weapon in an unpredictable, shifting manner providing his entire body with protection. Sparks and heat-haze emanate from the weapon. It costs 2 motes to activate the Charm, which provides a cover bonus equal to the Exalt's Melee (+Weapon's Defence). For every extra mote spent, the cover bonus can be extended to include another person, to a maximum of the Exalt's Essence, and all must be with a radius of (Melee + Essence) yards. The cover bonus stacks with that provided by a Shield.

All three major broadcast networks devoted stories to the opening of the World Cup today in Rio de Janeiro, but ABC's business interests arguably got in the way of objective reporting. ABC and her sister ESPN networks are, after all the exclusive "media rights licensees" to carry World Cup matches in the United States.
Reporting from Rio, ABC's Paula Faris devoted just one fleeting reference to the unrest in the streets (emphasis mine):
DIANE SAWYER, host: And tonight, 3 billion people, half the world's population, expected to watch the opening ceremony of the World Cup in Brazil, including a few loyal fans 230 miles above Earth.
Take a look, the NASA astronauts, right there, kicking a soccer ball in zero gravity, and saying they'll be watching from the space station. While back here on the ground, ABC's Paula Faris is there in Rio to tell us about the Americans who face a gauntlet of strong opposition but are hoping to deliver a miracle.
FARIS: The world's biggest event kicking off tonight with flair. And a huge fumble. Power house Brazil [DIRECTV transmission interruption] ball into its goal in the very first match.
It's the first time they've hosted the world cup in 64 years.
Some protests, too. Police using stun grenades and tear gas on demonstrators.
Billions watching tonight around the globe and across the U.S...
By contrast, NBC's Bill Neely opened his reporting by focusing on the demonstrations, before transitioning to more positive aspects of the games (emphasis mine):
BRIAN WILLIAMS, anchor: One of the most anticipated events in all of sports around the world got underway in Brazil today despite concerns for months that Brazil wouldn't be ready.
World Cup soccer started with pandemonium among the fans and some initial chaos and violence in the streets. The games will go on for a month. NBC's Bill Neely was watching it all today in Sao Paulo.
BILL NEELY: Stun grenades, tear gas, and protests, just miles from where Brazil's World Cup began, police fought demonstrators who were angry at the cost of the most extensive soccer tournament ever.
This is now how Brazil's festival of sport in front of a global audience was meant to start and there is no guarantee it will end here.
Brazil is struggling to contain the protests as its soccer carnival begins. It is the world's biggest single sports event, Brazil's fans joining half a million from 32 other countries including the U.S.
Today's opening ceremony was Brazil's chance to dazzle, the highlight, a paralyzed man who kicked the first ball. The scientists who made that happen showed NBC News exclusively the computerized suit the man wore. The patient's brain sending signals through the suit to move his legs.
Likewise CBS's Elaine Quijano opened her report focusing on the protests, even translating the complaints of two protesters before transitioning to others enjoying the opening of the festivities (emphasis mine):
SCOTT PELLEY, anchor: Soccer's World Cup opened today in Brazil with the host country beating Croatia, 3 to 1. Brazil has spent $11 billion on this month-long event, and today it made sure nothing would disrupt it. Elaine Quijano is in Sao Paulo.
ELAINE QUIJANO, reporter: These demonstrators had planned to protest the most expensive World Cup in history.
"We pay a lot of taxes, have low salaries," Luis Felipe said, "We are not listened to here. The people are fed up."
But they didn't get very far. Police stopped them in their tracks.
This is the neighborhood where protesters had advertised on Facebook that they wanted to gather. As you can see, they've been met with a heavy police presence here including percussion grenades and even at points tear gas.
That left many even more upset. "The basic needs of the population are not met," Rodrigo Antonio said. "We see that the freedom to protest is not guaranteed in Brazil."
But closer to the stadium, throngs of happy fans were oblivious to the protests, waving flags and blowing horns in support of the home team. Gustavo Sousa came dressed for the occasion.

Precision Shooting 1-Part 3: Marksmanship: Just The Basics
Our timing was perfect the witching-hour was just starting! As we glassed each patch of buck-brush and sage we started to locate feeding deer. From our vantage point we could see at least half a dozen does either feeding or still bedded-down. Because of the nasty winds they were all on the opposite side of the valley. I had checked the wind several times with my Brunton Sherpa meter average speed was just over ten miles per hour with gusts to fourteen. Glen and Wayne crawled to the edge of the valley and snapped down their Harris bipods. Within seconds they had the closest group of mulies in their scopes.
Lets let Glen blood that brand new Stealth. I said to my partner. Wayne you back him up on that big doe that is walking down the slope towards us. Distance is going to be just over 585 yards. There was not much angle downward as they are almost directly across from us. Give me fifteen and one quarter minutes of elevation Glen. Wayne helped Glen with the turret setting, then they assured me that they had put on the elevation. Then I told him to put on three and one half minutes of left windage and to get on the far-off deer.
Remember to breath slow. Release the trigger real easy, no jerking! I said to Glen. Tell me when youre ready. I focused my Nikon Venturer XL binocs on the far-off doe. Shooter Ready! Glen said. Wayne immediately repeated the same phrase. I waited until a nasty wind-gust had blown through and said, Send it!. A few seconds later the valley echoed as the Sierra bullet arced upward over six feet and drifted a foot and one half to the right. After what seemed like a long time we heard a deep, solid smack as the bullet disrupted on hide, muscle and spine. The doe dropped on the spot.
Great shot, Glen what a way to break in a new rifle! said Wayne as he shared a high-five with our new shooting partner. I stood beside the smiling hunters and shot one more laser reading this time on the carcass of the mule-deer. Five eighty-six! Not bad for a newbie! I said to Glen. I had to grin as he sat in awe of the shot that he had just made. Unreal, that is unreal. I dont believe I could make a shot like that! Glen said as he looked at the long black rifle. I could really get into this! Unreal, that is unreal!
We savored the moment for a while until the cold wind started to freeze us to the bone. Well, so much for that your Stealth aint a virgin anymore! Wayne said as we walked back to the truck. You got that right! said Glen, then he involuntarily said the phrase that dominated his thinking, Unreal, that is just unreal!!! Wayne and I looked at each other and grinned. We had just created another monster our new buddy was hooked on long-range hunting.
As mentioned in the above story, all of the attributes that make for an accurate rifle are important, and in this situation, came together very well and performed as expected. Also, the shooting position is important. Because of this, I have included some of the more used shooting positions for you to review.
Standing position
The Standing position (or off-hand shooting position) should only be used for short range distances. You are vulnerable, more visible and not very stable. Your body and arms will fatigue causing you to wobble. You are also like a ship's sail which will catch the wind, again causing your stability to be compromised. The standing position usually comes into play during quick, snap engagements for instance when you are walking. For this reason you would want to keep the power setting down low so that the wobble would be reduced and your field of view through your scope increased. Standing, you want your feet parallel with your hips and shoulders, with the elbow of your support arm tucked firmly into your rib-cage. In this position you must apply good breathing skills or your rifle will porpoise; not easy to do when your heart is beating like crazy and you and your competition are eyeballing each other.
Kneeling Position
The kneeling position is similar to that of the standing position but with less presentation. The buffeting of the wind is usually somewhat reduced however; you are still fighting the issue of stability. Again, if you are utilizing a variable power scope, it is wise to compensate for the wobble by reducing the power setting down to a more manageable level. In the kneeling position you will notice the shooter with his elbow bone directly on his knee bone; and he is utilizing his sling as it is cuffed around his bicep. Well, Bone on bone is not exactly what you want. It is better to move the elbow slightly behind the knee or in front of the knee, off of the bone and onto muscle. This will help you to stabilize better. In addition, what you do not see is that the heel of his foot is tucked under and into his tail end. If a tree was available for him to lean up against, it would further aid in his stability. But this position brings us to an interesting issue; your heartbeat and its resulting pulse.
One could write a book on breathing. Breathing helps keep your mind clear and oxygenated; your heart beat consistent and is an equally important issue. Many times I have heard the stories where a hunter and his guide are waking the tundra when all of a sudden they spot a Moose. The hunters heart begins to race and he fights to quickly get down and on target as time takes on a whole different meaning. Looking through the scope he tries to settle down while not being noticed, but it is not easy. However, if you are in a position other than standing, or kneeling, there is one thing you can do to immediately help with the pulse of your beating heart; relax your legs. Your legs have about one half the blood of your entire body in them, and when they are tensed and tight, you are restricting your blood to your torso. This causes your heart to beat stronger and increases the force of your pulse. The moment you relax your legs, and un-bend them, you will immediately notice your body and breathing relax.
Breathing methodology has been pretty much established and written in stone. As taught, the shooter would inhale three deep breaths and then on the fourth exhale, slow the exhale at the halfway point, and pull the trigger in-between heart beats. Well, there is another method that is rarely taught, but does work very well. You would again, inhale and exhale three deep breaths of air, then on the forth inhale, at about half way, very slowly continue to inhale. You will notice that your heart beat is much milder then on the exhale method; try it.
This obviously takes a conscious effort and most hunters will say they dont have the time to relax. Do you believe this to be true? After all, you are prepared and you do have your data. So, do you have to rush the shot? Do you have to guess where to hold? If it is a close shot there may be no time for anything but the snap shot. However, if the quarry is at distance, and your approach is refined, you should have a considerable amount of time.

Extrication Training Class For Gainesville Firefighters
GAINESVILLE-- Gainesville Firefighters are facing a supply shortage-- of junk cars.
During an extrication training class at Gainesville Fire Rescue Sation 3, firefighters practiced opening junk cars with power tools and the "jaws of life."
The cars are donated by towing and junk yard companies around town… then they are placed in different "accident" scenarios.
One lieutenant said they can only practice when cars are available every other month… but the wait is worth it.
"You can never get enough practice! At three o'clock in the morning when you have people critically injured in an accident is not the time to practice. It's not when you work on your drills, that's not when you try this tool or this technique. So you can never, ever get enough practice… that's why we're out here today, we're trying to utilize as much of the equipment as we can," said Lieutenant Pat West.
The training classes provide firefighters the knowledge they need to safely remove passengers out of a vehicle when accidents happen.

Trail begins at Salmon La Sac trailhead and ends at the junction with the Waptus Pass Trail. Accesses Alpine Lakes Wilderness Area.
The first 2.5 miles is uphill and fairly steep as the trail follows the ridgeline, passing through trees and open areas and over rocky bluffs. Past the 2.5 mile point, the trail runs along the north side of the ridge, going down into and up out of several basins; it is often steep. Diamond Lake is in the second basin at 4.2 miles and is the only constant water source along the trail (treat before drinking). The trail passes through two additional meadow basins before hitting the ridgetop again at 6.5 miles. Just beyond that, the old Pollalie Lookout site provides good views. The junction with Tired Creek Trail 1317 is just past that. From there, the trail descends through old growth forest to Waptus Pass and the junction with Waptus Pass Trail 1329.
Facilities at trailhead include parking, stock ramps, and pit toilets.
From Cle Elum and/or Roslyn, take State Highway 903 north 17 miles to Salmon La Sac, then turn left on Forest Road 4316-111 and follow it (0.5 mile) to the trailhead. It is also the trailhead for Cooper River Trail 1311 and Waptus River Trail 1310.

Are you attracted to MLC SSDs with a price under $0.50/GB? Corsair's new Force Series LX uses Silicon Motion's SM2246EN controller and is rated at speeds of up to 560MB/s
sequential write and up to 300MB/s sequential read when tested by ATTO and both the 128GB and 256GB models are available on NewEgg now for just a bit over the recommended price.
FREMONT, California — May 27, 2014 — Corsair, a worldwide designer of high-performance components to the PC hardware market, today announced the release of the Force Series LX solid-state drives (SSD).

The speedy benefits of solid-state drives have long attracted PC enthusiasts, but high prices may have put off some users from making the switch to this faster storage technology. In response to this dilemma, Corsair is bringing all the perks of an SSD to a new, even more budget-friendly price point so everyone can feel the rush. With the Force LX 256GB costing $129.99 and the 128GB just $74.99, there's never been a better time to upgrade to faster SSD technology.
Powered by a Silicon Motion SSD controller, the Force Series LX SSDs offer fantastic performance up to 10 times faster than that of a conventional spinning-disk hard drive. Force LX's SATA 3 file transfer speeds of up to 560MB/sec read and 300MB/sec write can massively improve system performance. Operating system start-up and application load times accelerate to mere seconds, anti-virus scans complete far faster, and navigating your PC's files feels much more responsive thanks to near-instant access times.

The Tech Report have put together several mouse reviews into a single video, giving you a chance to hear about their features while watching a little gaming action at the same time. The low cost Raptor M45 is shown fragging bots in every Frog's favourite FPS, as is the slightly more expensive Vengeance M65. However UT2K doesn't really have enough keybindings to show off the 15 buttons on the Vengeance M95 and so a popular game in which clicks per second count is shown off. Check out the video review and consider offering feedback on the YouTube channel if that content is something you'd like to see more of.
"For our first full-length video review, we take a look at several Corsair gaming mice, the FPS-focused Raptor M45 and Vengeance M65 and the RPG-ready Vengeance M95."

The beautiful and talented Corsair Graphite 760T Full Tower
Subject: Cases and Cooling | May 7, 2014 - 05:40 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: graphite series, corsair, 760T Arctic White
Corsair's Graphite 760T is a metal case with a huge window to show off your components and a front panel that is secured by magnets as opposed to plastic tabs. For pet owners and clean freaks there are two filtre panels, one for the front and one that slides out of the bottom to discourage a systems natural tendency to act as a vacuum cleaner. The dimensions of 22.2"H x 9.7"W x 22.4"L allow for a triplet of 120/140mm fans to be installed at the front and similar single fan at the back of the case, with the PSU being inserted at the bottom. [H]ard|OCP were more than impressed with this case, its aesthetics and performance for both cooling and acoustics put it among the best cases on the market with the icing on the cake being a price tag under $200.
"Corsair's new Graphite Series 760T Arctic White Full Tower Windowed Case is extremely easy on the eyes and as the name implies it allows us to see in, but with the 760T it is a full clear panel that gives it an elegant look. There is room for plenty of fans with speed controllers to keep it cool as well, plus a host of other features."

Corsair's H75, you pay for the miniaturization
Subject: Cases and Cooling | April 28, 2014 - 03:47 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: water cooling, SFF, Intel, H75, corsair, amd
Corsair's H75 has a smaller footprint than previous models, the radiator of 120 x 152 x 25mm should fit inside even smaller cases, allowing you to reduce the noise produced in the smaller case. As well they have dropped support for LGA775, the change in mounting hardware should make it easier to install on both AMD and Intel systems. While Morry was quite pleased with the performance of this cooler considering it's size; [H]ard|OCP had a slightly different take. When they looked at the cooler in terms of price for performance they felt that there are better values on the market but do still recommend it for those who need a small, powerful cooler and are willing to shop around to find it on special.
"Corsair has been in the liquid CPU cooling game for over 10 years now. As sealed system liquid CPU coolers have become the norm among hardware enthusiasts, the competition has gotten stiff to say the least. Another thing that has changed over the years is that many DIYers are going to smaller cases for their systems; the H75 looks to address this."

Introduction, Specifications, and Contents
Corsair has added another double-width liquid cooler to their growing lineup of all-in-one solutions with the H105, joining the existing H100i and larger H110 in this category.
Image courtesy of Corsair
Initially, the H105 might leave you scratching your head. It's listed on Corsair's site with the same $119.99 MSRP as the H100i, and both are 240mm designs featuring the same high performance fans. The similarities end there, however, as the design of the H105 is more akin to Corsair's new 120mm H75 (which we recently reviewed) than to the existing 240mm H100/H100i. With the H75 already a solid price/performance pick in Corsair's lineup - and the various other options still available - it's reasonable to wonder exactly where H105 fits in.
While this new cooler is using the same pair of excellent SP120L PWM fans as the earlier H100i (and H80i), it's the radiator they will be connected to that should separate the H105 from prior efforts. Corsair has implemented a much thicker 240mm rad with the H105 at 35mm (vs. only 27mm on earlier products), and this added thickness should have an noticeable impact on cooling performance, and possibly fan noise as well.

Corsair Released Vengeance K70 Mechanical Keyboard
Subject: General Tech, Cases and Cooling | April 8, 2014 - 02:42 PM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: Vengeance K70, corsair
Update (4/8/2014 @ 8:48 PM EDT): Some commenters pointed out that the K70 already exists and has been on sale for quite some time. That is true, however Corsair has refreshed the line, apparently adding Cherry MX Blue and Brown along with the "original MX Red". It is a new product that will be released mid-April.
No, this is not the Cherry MX RGB keyboard; we still do not know when that will come out. The K70 is a mechanical keyboard made out of blackened (anodized) aluminum with red backlights in each keycap. It comes in either Cherry MX Blue, Red, or Brown. Unlike some of their previous models, every key is mechanical. It is advertised as "100% anti-ghosted with full n-key rollover". Being a USB keyboard, it is unclear whether it actually allows every key to be pressed simultaneously or whether it is limited by the interface.
That said, previous Corsair keyboards registered as 3 USB devices and split inputs between the three to overcome 6KRO limits, thus allowing for 18-key rollover. This should be sufficient for all quadridextrous typists. For the mental image of someone typing with their eight fingers, two thumbs, and all but two of their ten toes, you are welcome.
Also, and I have said this before, but it kills me when a keyboard based on an NKRO key matrix (even if it is limited by USB) needs to describe itself as "Anti-ghosting". Anti-ghosting is a hack which prevents unintended keypresses by locking-out the keyboard when it gets confused. Many keyboards, to save money, group keys together in their grid of circuits. Basically, each key is assigned to two circuits and the keyboard can thus see which switches are pressed by their pairings. The keyboard does not know how many switches are open on each circuit, just that at least one is. Ghosting occurs when three or more keypresses cause the same signals as four or more keys. The keyboard then has two options: register all possible keypresses or jam and ignore everything (anti-ghosting). An NKRO-based matrix uses diodes to further isolate keys so that each can be individually addressed.
Thus an NKRO keyboard never needs to jam. It is immune to the conditions. Unfortunately, if they did not advertise anti-ghosting, the uninformed will think it is an inferior keyboard... rather than so superior that it is immune to the problem in the first place.
Back on the Vengeance K70, it will be available this month for $129.99 USD (MSRP).
Introduction and Features
The highly anticipated 450D mid-tower case is Corsair's latest addition to their top of the line Obsidian Series and is the first new Obsidian case to be released in 2014. The Obsidian 450D mid-tower enclosure is positioned between Corsair's 750D full-tower and 350D Micro-ATX enclosures and shares many of the same styling and design concepts of the 350D, 750D and 900D. The 450D is being introduced with an MSRP of $119.99 USD, which makes it considerably less expensive than Corsair's classic Obsidian 650D mid-tower enclosure ($199.99 USD). It appears the new 450D may eventually become the successor to the 650D but we hope the 650D mid-tower case doesn't go away any time soon as the two enclosures are still different enough to appeal to different users.

And in addition to PC enclosures, Corsair continues to offer one of the largest selections of memory products, SSDs, power supplies, coolers, gaming peripherals, and PC accessories currently on the market today!
Here is what Corsair has to say about the Obsidian 450D PC case:
"The 450D Performance Mid-Tower PC case matches the iconic, brushed aluminum design of the Obsidian series with an increased focus on high-airflow, ensuring your system not only looks great, but runs cool.
Behind the 450D's aluminum mesh intake grill are dual AF140L intake fans to direct airflow straight to a PC's hottest component, the graphics card. The rear AF120L 120mm fan keeps the airflow moving smoothly and five other optional fan locations give you serious cooling flexibility. The 450D's fan mounts also accommodate a wide range of water-cooling radiators, with room for up to a 360mm radiator in the roof, a 280mm radiator in the front, and a 240mm radiator in the floor.
The 450D also boasts all of the features that make the Obsidian Series a favorite among enthusiasts around the world. Easily accessible dust filters on the roof, front, and bottom ensure your system will stay looking its best, while modular tool-free 3.5"/2.5" hard disk mounts offer a wide range of storage options, or can be removed entirely to prioritize airflow."

Here are two of the photos:
Dominick wrote this comment in my CIA/UFO posting, previous to this one:
"Rich, you can't just say that you are "in the hoax camp" without dealing with the photo-analysis that was done in JSE 2000 article. Deal with the finding of particulate matter in the photos. Deal with the difficulty of shooting a toy train wheel without confederates. Deal with the hazing and blueing which suggests strongly that the object filmed was a considerable distance from the camera. Deal with the smoke-ring photo...why fake it at all? No one, including Tony, has effectively dealt with any of this. Now unless we actually deal with these issues, we can't in good debate just simply say (and be taken seriously) that we are "in the hoax camp."
BTW, there is one "serious analyist" who does think that the Heflin photos are of some real craft in the sky. Me. I did not start that way. But an editor at the Orange County Register who knew of my interest in UFOs(and where I had previously written an economic policy piece) asked me do an OP/Ed on the Heflin photos back in 2009. And when I dug into the case, and especially into the photoanalysis, I became reasonably convinced that the photos were of some distant craft of the dimensions estimated by Heflin. (That Op/Ed appeared in the OCR on November 8, 2009). Was it ET? Probably not. But I'm reasonably convinced that it was a real flying object and that Heflin did not and, indeed, could not have faked it. And I'll stand by that until someone, anyone, deals effectively with the issues raised above."
The Heflin photos have been discussed many times in the UFO community and on the internet.
One popular analysis is this one by Ann Druffel:
This is Richard Hall's exquisite take:
And here is Anthony Bragalia's observation about Heflin's photos (and a few other "famous" UFO images):
Again, from the copies of the photos, one can make analyses. The original Polaroid's are not needed to create a judicious, sensible analysis.
Of course, having the originals in hand would allow for additional information, but enough is provided by the copies for an adequate evaluation.
The toy-train wheel explanation makes sense to me, but Dominick isn't so moved by that determination.
And the smoke-ring photo baffles. Why was it created as a contrivance or what did it represent if it was an authentic image of the craft departing?
I see the apparent dust-raising below the craft in Image One above, but it isn't exactly below the object.
And like the Lee Harvey Oswald plaint about how many shots could he get off in the few seconds during which JFK was shot, how was Mr. Heflin able to get so many shots (four), using a Polaroid camera, before the UFO departed?
(This is the same question that presents itself about the famous Trent/McMinnville photos.)
The Heflin photos, like almost everything else UFO-related, creates controversy, and open-ended interpretations.

text: I have one on my .223 Saiga. It's the Russian version of the Belarus BP-02. Bought it because I thought that Russian quality would be superior to Belarus quality. Very hard to find outside of Russia. It has integral mount rings attached to it. When I first got mine, I discovered that the windage was off by more than the scope would adjust to. So I had to shim it by placing a stainless steel washer (sanded to my calculated thickness) on one of the ring support bolts. Now it's fine. By the way, the ring spacing arrangement on a Saiga allows for use of the scope bell up to 45mm in diameter. My scope is a Swift 669M which has a 44mm bell that just barely clears the top of the rifle. Here is a photo of the mount:

Nice game. Weird Controls
The game is pretty good, but i dont like the controls too much, maybe with some customized controls will be great. Also is really hard after the first levels i will love to see some guide of the game.
Will keep that in mind for a sequel. Thanks for comment
Dragons Fire and Flight ~ Interesting.
Don't know what people are about stiff controls, I feel the controls are alright, have no problem with them. Find that the game is pretty easy though. However I got pretty annoyed with the music in Eldrim Woods, just got to the shores and thank god the music changed. Giving an 8 because of music, and that some levels are a little too long when they are just the same thing over and over again, so -2 points, but other than that awesome game, Nice art. Funny Character walk.
nice game!
This is a very good game, nice job man!
I need a little help: can you tell me in what level I can find the flying powerup?
I think it's in world 3 but I don't find!!!
I have fire at level 3 but fly at level one only :(
Thank you!!!
good game controls take some time to get used to, extra languages are very good
when you get past the castle area,(i guess it's a mario hommage) you get stuck at an area (grassy with 2 seperate blocks grass in the floor) i honestly have no idea how to get past it.
cool game
this is a good game starts of with an intresting storyline and then comes the gameplay, it would make a greater game if you made the character react a bit faster he goes so slow. plus it would be good if you could damage enemies whilst bouncing of there heads or something like that XD

Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment
Masking: Double-Blind
Primary Purpose: Educational/Counseling/Training
|Official Title:
|Benefits of a Surgical Skills Lab Vascular Anastomosis Simulator: A Randomized Controlled Trial
- Quality of final vascular anastomosis based on validated scale
- Global rating of operative skill based on validated scale (final anastomosis)
- Time taken to complete final anastomosis
- Time taken to complete initial and final anastomosis (experimental group only)
- Anastomotic leakage for final anastomosis
- Anastomotic patency for final anastomosis
|Estimated Enrollment:
|Study Start Date:
|May 2006
|Estimated Study Completion Date:
|September 2007
For many years, surgical training has been considered an apprenticeship, where the training experiences of residents, have been in real operative settings on living patients. We propose a study to demonstrate that – a low-fidelity simulation of an aorta-proximal vein graft anastomosis as in heart bypass surgery, using anatomical replicates (a special hydrogel polymer with properties similar to human vascular tissue) – is an effective, low-cost simulator for learning this surgical skill, and will provide the trainee with the ability to perform a better anastomosis in a shorter period of time.
Hypothesis: Practicing an aorto-saphenous vein anastomosis on a low-fidelity surgical simulator will advance the trainees' learning curve. This will allow trainees to produce a higher quality anastomosis in a shorter period of time, than a group that only learns by watching a video and will lead to enhanced patient safety.
|Ages Eligible for Study:
|18 Years and older (Adult, Senior)
|Sexes Eligible for Study:
|Accepts Healthy Volunteers:
Inclusion Criteria:
- 1st year surgical resident at The University of Western Ontario
- Anastomosis naive – the subject must not have performed a human vascular anastomosis in the past (it is acceptable if they have observed one being performed in the past)
Exclusion Criteria:
- Completed a human vascular anastomosis as the primary operator/surgeon in the past

Hertz, which received more than two-thirds of its car rental revenue from airport services in 2014, has been affected by the strong dollar that made travel to the United States pricier for tourists.
The company also closed about 200 stores at off-airport locations in the second quarter, as part of its efforts to focus on more profitable locations and to save $300 million by March.
Revenue fell to $2.69 billion from $2.83 billion in the quarter ended June 30.
Analysts on average had expected $2.71 billion, according to Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S.

Hertz reiterated its 2015 consolidated corporate EBITDA of $1.45 billion-$1.55 billion. Continued...
