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: Polarized connectors and headers for your perf board/PCB projects. Use these connectors for power connections or any sensor/general connection to prevent users from connecting the peripheral incorrectly or reversed.
This is for the male header. Be sure to order the housing and crimp pins!
Pins have standard .1" spacing.
It would be very useful to have a right angle version of this polarized header for use with the joystick breakout pcb. It has 5 pins but the straight header interferes with the motion and click of the joystick. An example of what I need is here: http://www.futurlec.com/Connectors/POLHDRR5.shtml

Hot Chip Videos
The Hot Chip side project New Build will embark on a mini tour of the West Coast!
The band released Yesterday Was Lived and Lost via their homemade imprint Lanark Recordings in 2012. They also played a handful of select shows.
The band has now returned to the inner sanctum of the semi-legendary Lanark Studio, a haven of sonic experimentation hidden in the bowels of a mostly derelict East London factory building. Sounds like just the right place for making a killer album.
And so New Build are working on a follow up to Yesterday Was Lived & Lost, exploring the more electronic sound that was hinted at in the EP Your Love. We're down. We're game. We're in. Bring it, New Build. We wanna hear more.
Tour Dates:
Saturday April 27th @
Echoplex Los Angeles (Britweek Festival)
Sunday April 28th @ The Independent San Francisco
Tuesday April 30th @ Doug Fir Lounge Portland
Wednesday May 1st @ Neumos Seattle
Have you checked out New Build?

A proposed Off-road Vehicle Management Plan for Glen Canyon National Recreation Area and the future of Lake Powell invasive mussel prevention are two planning efforts that will be showcased at five open houses in February. National Park Service staff will be on hand to provide information and gather public comments on these and other current planning topics.
Open houses are scheduled for the following locations and dates:
· Blanding UT: Tuesday, February 4, from 4:00 to 7:00 p.m. at the Blanding Arts and Events Center, located at 639 West 100 South, Blanding, UT
· Escalante UT: Wednesday, February 5, from 4:00 to 7:00 p.m. at the Escalante Interagency Visitor Center, located at 755 W. Main, Escalante, UT
· Kanab UT: Thursday, February 6, from 4:00 to 7:00 p.m. at the Kanab Middle School, located at 690 S. Cowboy Way, Kanab, UT
· Page AZ: Tuesday, February 11, from 4:00 to 7:00 p.m. at the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area Headquarters, located at 691 Scenic View Drive, Page, AZ
· Salt Lake City UT: Thursday, February 13, from 4:00 to 7:00 p.m. at the Utah Department of Natural Resources, located at 1594 W. North Temple, Salt Lake City, UT
"This is a great opportunity to take part in the management of your public lands. I welcome and encourage everyone to participate in these meetings," said Superintendent Todd Brindle. "We are in the process of making decisions that will have long-term effects on park resources and visitors' experiences. The public's participation will show us where there are concerns and will help us make informed decisions on the best alternatives."
The NPS is preparing these plans through a public process that complies with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) and other applicable laws, regulations, and policies.
Off-road Vehicle (ORV) Management Plan/Draft Environmental Impact Statement (Plan/DEIS)
The Plan/DEIS analyzes a range of actions for managing off-road use of motor vehicles and on-road use of off-highway vehicles and street-legal all-terrain vehicles. The Plan/DEIS assesses the environmental impacts that could result from continuing current management or implementing any of the four action alternatives. The NPS preferred alternative designates a mixture of opportunities for motorized recreation on park roads and designated ORV routes and at remote shoreline areas while prohibiting such uses in areas where resources and values may be at risk. The preferred alternative also includes provisions to improve signs and road/route markings; develop a communication strategy to better educate visitors on regulations and resource concerns; partner with user groups and other stakeholders; monitor use and mitigate any adverse effects to resources; and close and restore routes and areas not designated for off-road use. A permit system would be established for ORV routes and areas to provide for education on applicable regulations, provide for visitor safety, prevent resource damage and recover costs for monitoring, mitigation, education and administration of the permit system. An electronic copy of the Plan/DEIS may be downloaded at https://parkplanning.nps.gov/
Quagga-Zebra Mussel Management Plan/Environmental Assessment (QZMP EA)
As of January 2014, approximately 1,300 adult quagga mussels have been found and removed from Lake Powell. We are finding additional adult mussels as the season progresses.
The Quagga-Zebra Mussel Management Plan (QZMP) is needed to help the NPS decide what tools are appropriate to support the ongoing management of invasive mussels in Glen Canyon now that quagga mussels are present in Lake Powell. The QZMP will consider changes to the existing prevention and monitoring efforts, and would include analysis of potential control, containment, and other park management actions. The plan will also consider options for providing a sustainable funding source.
The NPS has used a variety of tools to support extensive mussel prevention efforts for several years. This has included education efforts, monitoring, and inspection, decontamination, and quarantine of incoming boats as necessary. The NPS is seeking input to help develop the QZMP during the public scoping period from February 3 – March 7, 2014. For more information or to provide comments visit https://parkplanning.nps.gov/
Rainbow Bridge Trail Improvement Environmental Assessment (RABR Trail EA)
Last year, Bridge Creek experienced a flood event that washed out a key section of the access trail from the courtesy dock on Lake Powell leading to Rainbow Bridge. A temporary trail has been cleared to restore access to the site, but additional work is needed to provide long-term access that may not require people to travel in the floodplain. Improvements to the trail design and construction are also needed to address high-volume flash flooding and to maintain tribal, visitor, and employee safety while using the trail. The NPS is also considering extending the trail to provide a designated path for visitors to walk around Rainbow Bridge that would connect to the trail approaching Rainbow Bridge from land owned by the Navajo Nation. Redesigning and rebuilding the Rainbow Bridge trail is also needed to accommodate fluctuating lake elevations and associated trail damage. The NPS is seeking input to help develop the RABR Trail EA during the public scoping period from February 3 – March 7, 2014. For more information or to provide comments visit https://parkplanning.nps.gov/
Livestock Grazing Monument Management Plan Amendment and Associated Environmental Impact Statement (Livestock Grazing MMPA)
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is embarking on a process to amend the Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument (GSENM) Management Plan to provide direction for livestock grazing. As part of the plan amendment process, the GSENM will prepare an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). At the end of the process, the BLM will make land-use level decisions associated with livestock grazing and amend the Monument Management Plan. The planning area consists of about 2.1 million acres of land which includes lands in the GSENM and non-monument lands administered by GSENM. The GSENM administers livestock grazing on lands managed by the National Park Service (NPS) within Glen Canyon National Recreation Area (GCNRA). The NPS Glen Canyon National Recreation Area is cooperating in the preparation of this plan amendment. The NPS will also be making a decision for Glen Canyon lands consistent with the area's enabling legislation (Public Law 92-593). For more information visithttp://blm.gov/pgld.
The NPS will consider input received during the public scoping, review and comment periods for these planning efforts to prepare the final documents. The public may provide written comments in person at the open houses. Comments may also be submitted online using the NPS Planning, Environment and Public Comment (PEPC) system, or mailed or delivered to Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, PO Box 1507, 691 Scenic View Drive, Page, AZ 86040-1507.

Snow moving through central Indiana
The SkyTrak 13 Weather Team is tracking snow across central Indiana. The steady bursts of snow quickly sticks to roads, reduces visibilities and creates hazardous driving conditions.
The steady snow band that is moving through early this afternoon will be in eastern Indiana by early this evening.
Snow totals will be widespread 1-3 inches. So far 2″ has been reported in Terre Haute and 1.6″ in Indianapolis. There will be more flurries and light snow overnight and Friday, with another inch of snow possible. It will be cold enough for slick roads through Friday.
Most areas will stuck in the teens on Friday. Another round of snow is on the way for Saturday. We are forecasting up to 3 additional inches of snow. This will fall on Saturday. Arctic air takes over next week. We will keep you updated.

Understanding Learning Management Systems
In the ever-evolving world of online applications, many of us website and intranet managers have used or know something of content management systems (CMS). As with most technologies these are now becoming more specialized in their application. Enter Learning Management Systems (LMS) and Learning Content Management Systems (LCMS).
What is the difference between an LMS and an LCMS? The primary objective of a learning management system is to manage learners, keeping track of their progress and performance, in essence the administrative side of a learning initiative. Learning Content Management Systems, on the other hand, manage the delivery of the course content.
More educators are discovering the benefits of being able to deliver such things as streaming video presentations and virtual meetings. By using synchronous tools for collaboration these kinds of learning tools can be made available across an entire enterprise. Other tools include:
Live chat
Application sharing
Online polling
Discussion groups
The aim of this effort is to effectively mirror a live classroom setting in a virtual community.
An LMS is designed to support a collaborative learning community, offering multiple modes of learning. This might include self-paced coursework or scheduled classes and group learning. LMSs are often compared to enterprise resource planning (ERP) solutions; by streamlining the delivery of learning initiatives in the same manner ERP streamlines back office tasks.
Learning content management system (LCMS)
An LCMS, manages the delivery of course materials. A good LCMS offers numerous advantages: rapid content creation and deployment, collaboration tools, reusable learning objects, and an intuitive student experience. The latter is the most complex factor that must be delivered. Despite our knowledge and comfort level in the digital age, concentrating on computer delivered coursework can be a difficult task. Given this, an LCMS can assist by providing regularly updated content in a varied delivery style.
The differences between LCMS and LMS functionality can be very confusing because most of the LCMS systems also have built-in LMS abilities. In fact, according to a research paper by Dr. Brandon Hall (a leading expert in e-Learning)...
81% of the LCMS systems include LMS functionality as part of their system.
100% of the LCMS systems list themselves as being interoperable with third-party learning management systems.
54% have actually performed interoperability tests with leading LMS products.
A good LMS provides an infrastructure that enables planning, delivery, and management of learning programs in any chosen format. It will support multiple authoring systems and integrate easily with the leading LCMS systems. As a catalyst for the overall learning environment, an LMS can integrate LCMS learning objects and assume responsibility for all content management, including:
Delivery and tracking
Storage in a content repository
Assembly and re-assembly of content objects
Incorporation of content objects into blended curriculums
Tracking learner progress through courses
As Krista Skalde, a senior consultant specializing in learning and performance support processes, tools and systems, highlights: "The LMS and LCMS tools available today make it possible, in ways never before seen, to truly 'serve up' a learner-centric intervention: what the learner needs to do her job, when she needs it. And, the integrated capabilities between an LMS and LCMS mean that the tracking of these interventions occurs at both ends: did the learner get value from the intervention and perform better and did the developer create compelling and relevant content?"
Another of the main, and perhaps most compelling, differences between an LMS and an LCMS are the analytic capabilities that each of these solutions provide. Learning Analytics features have become more and more prevalent in vendor offerings over the past few years, with the promise of more robust enhancements to come. Typically, the analytic capabilities in an LMS help organizations understand the various levels of learning evaluation (i.e. Kirkpatrick Levels of Evaluation). In other words, an organization is able to analyze...
Number of completions
Number of "pass" versus "fail"
Number of successful completions in Business Unit A versus Business Unit B
Of greatest interest to the executive sponsors of these initiatives is the ability to compare and analyze successful completion of a learning intervention with an increase in performance (i.e. learners who successfully completed an intervention sold 42% more widgets than those who did not). These features are the ones that assist learning and development professionals to justify the costs associated with their programs.
An LMS and LCMS combination can provide all the necessary tools for your enterprise to carry out effective online training programs
On the other hand, an LCMS' analytic capabilities are able to measure and analyze the results of a specific learning intervention at a more granular level. These capabilities are meant to drive an increase in performance of the content developers themselves so that they can better serve the needs of their "clients" (i.e. learners). An example of this is the ability for an LCMS to drill down into the results of a test found at the end of an online module. If 90% of the learners did not answer a specific question successfully, content developers are then able to drill into the material covered by the question. Fundamentally, this type of analysis helps answer the question: Is it the learners or is it the material?
An LMS and LCMS combination can provide all the necessary tools for your enterprise to carry out effective online training programs. By utilizing a content repository, content can be re-used for different training segments without having to be rewritten or redesigned. Should redesign be necessary to better suit a different learning group, this can be facilitated through the LCMS without programming knowledge or special server access.
Technology Selection
There are several articles available which rate the top systems in this segment. Which is the best? The answer, of course, lies with the end user. With so many systems available, it is extremely important that the one you choose fits with what you are trying to accomplish rather than you trying to fit your content to the parameters of a particular system.
Selecting an LMS or LCMS vendor in today's landscape can be an overwhelming task. Many vendors, old and new, are more than willing to show you their wares through online flash demos, brochures and websites. All of them seem to have great features and functionality. Some vendors boast of their extraordinarily powerful and flexible collaboration including:
Online capabilities
One-to-one personalization
ERP/CRM integration
Virtual repositories
Robust search
But are all these bells and whistles going to meet your needs?
Understanding your company's requirements is paramount before considering any vendor selection. Failure to develop an integrated plan that accounts for an organization's business, stakeholder and user requirements can result in failure.
Gartner estimates that one third of IT projects in small to mid-sized companies exceed budgets and schedules by almost 100%.
When choosing any software product, functional user and stakeholder requirements must be clearly defined. A structured methodology needs to be invoked to not only ensure that the proper vendor is chosen, but that the product has a productive lifespan. Gartner estimates that one third of IT projects in small to mid-sized companies exceed budgets and schedules by almost 100%.This represents a lot of wasted time and money due to 'scope creep'.
Scope creep happens when the scope or deliverables of a project change during the project implementation, mainly because of weak planning that doesn't fully account for the business requirements of the organization.
A thorough assessment and overall plan, along with documenting the needs of the organization and securing the necessary buy-in from multiple stakeholders and business managers will greatly reduce, if not eliminate scope creep.

It includes our proven methodology for gathering requirements, a robust LMS Evaluation Matrix, an overview of the present LMS vendor landscape, RFP management and more.

Saudi Arabia signed contracts worth SR36 billion Saudi ($9.5 billion) for the establishment of a new mineral industrial city in Waad Al Shamal. [2] The Kingdom's mining company, Maaden, also signed a number of deals worth $3.6 billion for the establishment of five new plants in the new city. The new industrial city will focus on mining, [3] a "promising sector that started contributing to the national economy," Dr. Ibrahim Al Assaf, Saudi finance minister, told Al Arabiya News Channel. The project will bring larger diversity to the country's exports and increase economic growth to the kingdom [4] and the region, according to officials' remarks during the launch. According to the minister, the project is important on a domestic level, but also more important on a regional scale, "in terms of [providing] employment, and finding services to support the mining sector." The Ministry of Finance, Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund, the national Saudi Railway Company (SAR) [5], the Industrial Development Fund, and Sanabil Investment Company were among the parties involved in the development of the new industrial city. "The Ministry of Finance [participated] directly through financing the infrastructure of the project, and through institutes associated with it, such as the Public Investment Fund, which participated directly to the investment of the project, or indirectly through providing loans for projects to be established within the city," Assaf explained to Al Arabiya News Channel. Ministers of petroleum, electricity and economy were among the officials that attended the ceremony.

The return of players with double-digit minute experience seems to help, as the 2008 team is the 12th Carolina team since 1984 to return six or more. Two of the previous 11 won the national championship (1993 and 2005). However, just one other team reached a Final Four (1995). The 1984, 1986, 1989, 1994, 2001 and 2007 teams were all widely considered top-ten teams throughout the regular season, but all had disappointing early exits from the NCAA Tournament. (Tar Heel Blue)

Sony xplod build, A few pictures and a video(termlab score inside)
Who says sony xplod subs suck , I managed to get some from a trade and had a old box laying around , and did some playing around using a sundown saz-3500 for power
it was 2 chambers .5 cubes each with a 6" aeroport in each chamber
This is the install in the car , which is a gutted SE with full interior from the B pillar forward
at the dash position, in which DB drag and IASCA meter, it does 145.4Db@60hz . I did overdrive the subs quite a bit even with a clean signal. The coils would smell after every burp .
in the port of each chamber it made 163.5 DB@63hz
It is a short thread but i figured you guys would get a kick out of it
Mmmmm the smell of hot coils in the morning.......................
yeah had to buy a air freshener, played them too long and had to air out the car when smoke bellowed from the ports!

#207 closed New Feature (fixed)
Wrap an arbitrary html tag around a selection
|Reported by:
|Owned by:
|FCKeditor 2.5 Beta
|Core : Styles
I would like to request a feature that would wrap html tags, with attributes, around a user's selection. For instance, if the user selects some text in the edit pane and presses a button, I want to wrap the selection in a span, with a class and title. We need this feature for adding instructor comments to student writing assignments.
I have found and tried several examples, and they work fine as long as the selection is just text. However, to be useful, the inserted tags need to work properly with other tags in the text.
A simple example, starting with this:

Here's some text

Here's some more text

Now, if the user's selection starts with the word 'text' in the first paragraph, and ends with the word 'more' in the second paragraph, here's what I'd expect to see:

Here's some text

Here's some more text

What I'm actually getting with the examples I've tried is something like this:

Here's some textHere's some more text

I'd be happy to help work on this, if someone can help me out or point me in the right direction, or let me know anyone is already working on something similar.

Civil War researcher takes on a monumental project
By MELANIE PLENDA
Special to the Sunday News | June 22. 2013 2:30AM
New Hampshire's only equestrian statue of a Civil War subject, Maj. General Fitz-John Porter of Portsmouth, was dedicated in 1906. It stands in Portsmouth's Haven Park. (GEORGE MORRISON)
That was too early in the war for New Hampshire troops to have reached Shiloh, in western Tennessee, thought Morrison, a retired Concord High School history teacher.
Further inquiries turned up partial lists compiled by private citizens, but nothing complete. His curiosity only heightened by the lack of information, Morrison decided to venture out from his Bow home to see what other area memorials were dedicated to those who served in the Civil War.
The project also has become a New Hampshire Humanities Council lecture series: "Vanished Veterans: NH's Civil War Monuments and Memorials." with Morrison presenting his findings and photos at appearances around the state beginning in Franklin on July 4.
Hidden treasures
"Locating the 1880 obelisk inscribed, 'The Town of Gilford to Her Fallen Heroes' proved challenging," he said, "for the town's border having been shifted (after the dedication of the monument), I hadn't thought to look in Laconia."
"Satellite map photography came in very handy, although overgrown trees can be problematic," Morrison said. "One learns to search beyond city parks and town greens, libraries and town halls onto dirt roads and in 19th century cemeteries."
"It was always a quiet moment of reward when finding another," he said. Unique creationsPart of what has made his project so interesting, Morrison said, is the creativity behind the monuments.
The state's largest and most elaborate Civil War monument, he noted, is in Manchester's Veterans Memorial Park. It includes a pillar topped by a granite statue and wrapped at its base by a bronze bas-relief, all surrounded by the bronze figures of four Union soldiers.
Beyond the border
The next step in the project, he hopes, is to turn it into a book.
As for the "Shiloh" inscription on the monument in Penacook, Morrison still doesn't have an answer. The project continues.

PREMIER Ted Baillieu has called for ''good faith'' negotiations over a new pay deal for teachers despite walking away from his election promise to make them the best paid in Australia.
The Premier has refused to recommit to his election promise, saying a wage rise above 2.5 per cent would need major productivity gains.
The Australian Education Union has said 45,000 state school teachers would need an increase of 8 per cent to get parity with those in Western Australia, the nation's best paid.
Yesterday, Mr Baillieu said teacher pay rises would be based on inflation, productivity and affordability. ''We look forward to that process and working in good faith with teachers.''
Asked if Victorian teachers would be the best paid in the country following the enterprise bargaining agreement, Mr Baillieu said: ''I hope they are as best paid as we can possibly get them.''
The election promise ''to make Victorian teachers the highest paid in the nation'' was made without qualification.
The Premier denied he was backing away from the commitment and would not say how teachers could improve their productivity.
The government is facing potential industrial action with new pay deals to be negotiated with teachers, police, nurses and public servants.
Mr Baillieu made the comments while visiting Footscray North primary school to announce $5 million in funding for restoring school areas affected by the federal school building program. Opposition Leader Daniel Andrews accused the Premier of lying to teachers.

I didn't take many pictures, so I'm stealing most of them. (Thanks, Emily!) I'm still waiting on some, so maybe you'll see more later!
First of all, let's appreciate the beautiful cake my mom made.
Sylvia helped me pick out colors and a theme (pink and green, ladybugs). I drew a really simple idea for the cake and mom made it Cute, huh?!?
|Cute tiara from the Uhl family
|Sporting a super cute hair bow and tutu from the Fretts
Her Uncle Sean got this picture. He also got a super cute one last year. I used it for thank yous. How does he do it?
She was a little more sophisticated this year. She used a fork. Wasn't it cute that Mom made the topper so Sylvia had her own little cake?
After presents and food came the splash pad! That was probably the biggest hit of the day.
The kids had such a fun time! It took Sylvia and Harper a little while to get comfortable in the water. They played on the swings for a while first. Gracie and Garet were all over it right away, though!
Here's a little video Blake took of Sylvia. She wasn't quite sure about all that yet.
The pavilion where we had the party wasn't too far away, just across the creek that runs through the park.
The cups were a big hit. You know, besides throwing water, people get thirsty!
We played in the water for some where around an hour or so, I think. I was having so much fun that I didn't really keep track of the time very well. Kristin and Al were nice enough to do most of the clean up so we were ready to pack up and head out once the kids were splashed out.
After that came the next awesome part of the day: Sylvia's playhouse!
Here it is on its side... I haven't taken very many good pictures yet. But it shows some of the guys that were there helping set it up. My dad and grandpa, Al, Blake, and Colton.
And Bruce! He was there to supervise ;) My dad actually made this from the old playhouse that sits (well, used to sit) in my parents' backyard. My mom played in it when she was younger, so it's really awesome to keep it in the family. Sylvia loved it! It's not quite finished, the painting and floor needs to be finished, and my dad is making a super cute door for it. And you know I'm already dreaming up decorating ideas.
Here she is rearranging her furniture. Grandma and Grandpa Pauls got her a super cute table and chairs to furnish her new house.
The box was also a lot of fun to play with.
And while the guys were hard at work, Sylvia had fun playing with her Grandmas (she had four of them there!) and her Aunts Kristin and Debbie.
If it gives you any indication, we got 13 hours of uninterrupted sleep from Sylvia that night. It was an exhausting day, but it was a great time!

Dear Formula, I concede.
Dear Formula,
I concede. You win. There, I said it. As much as I hate to admit it, you can provide nutrition to my child that I was not able to.
You stink to high heaven (going in and coming out), but you nourish my little girl … so I am grateful.
You are ridiculously expensive, but you nourish my little girl … so you're worth every penny.
You provide Baby with a happy, full belly at every meal … so I am appreciative.
You have provided for Baby's healthy weight gain … for that, I say thank you.
I wouldn't yet call myself a fan, but I'm working on it … making peace with you is one of my new New Year's resolutions (actually, it might be my only resolution). Let's be honest, though, for all that you do for Baby, you do a few things for me as well.
Because of you, I can drink coffee again. Lots of it. And diet Coke, too. Caffeine makes for a happy (albeit still sleep-deprived) mama.
Because of you, I can drink wine again. Lots of it. Sleep deprivation is much more bearable with a glass of wine in hand.
Because of you, nighttime feedings are only half as long as they used to be. Extra sleep is always welcome.
In conclusion, Dear Formula, I am begrudgingly grateful. I'm still working on the 'begrudgingly' part, but I am grateful.

Whatever gets the babies fed and happy is good!ReplyDelete
You are a great mom! She will not care in 20 years if you fed her formula.ReplyDelete
I formula fed my little one from 10 weeks on. The bfeeding just wasn't working. All sorts of people will make you feel guilty about all sorts of things in parenting. In the end, whatever is good for mommy and baby is good!ReplyDelete
I totally know the feeling. I felt guilty for giving Evan one bottle a day of formula starting at 8 weeks or so. I was exhausted (and Evan too fussy) to pump. Breastfeeding is one of the hardest things I've ever done. Now we're doing a combination of formula and breastfeeding and we're okay with it. Don't worry about it--a happy, rested (at least somewhat rested) mama is worth a lot!ReplyDelete
I plan to quit pumping this week (after 9.5 weeks).ReplyDelete

BOZEMAN, Mont. – Montana State survived the second half comeback by Northern Arizona and prevailed in overtime with an 83-79 victory over the Lumberjacks.
"The defense in the first half is not what we are capable of playing, like it was in the second half," said Head Coach Jack Murphy. "It has a lot to do with us. They are a good team and an athletic team but they were given too many open looks and easy passes and they moved the ball wherever they wanted to in the first half."
Senior guard Gabe Rogers scored a game-high 29 points behind a career-high tying seven three-pointers. He hit two free throws in the final seconds to force overtime. Rogers was 9-of-16 from the field and 7-of-12 beyond the arc with four free throws.
"Gabe is playing at a high level and I say that almost every game now," said Murphy. "I don't know if I have been around a guy that has been on a streak like Gabe is on right now."
Rogers has scored in double figures in 15 straight games, while scoring 20 or more points in 11 of the last 13 games overall.
Montana State scored the first two baskets of the extra period before Jordyn Martin was fouled and hit a pair of free throws. After a basket by Paul Egwuonwu, Michael Dunn hit two free throws to cut the lead back to two points.
MSU then ran 30 seconds off the clock before Flavien Davis was fouled. He made both to extend the lead back to four points. NAU turned the ball over and MSU sealed the game at the line with two free throws by Paul Bigelow, who finished with 27 points. NAU got a late basket by Martin as the Bobcats won the key game.
NAU was just 1-for-8 in the overtime period, losing for the fourth time in five overtime contests this season.
"We missed a lot of layups and shots right at the rim," said Murphy. "We just have to put those in. We did a good job at foul line tonight hitting 15 of 18. We just have to be able put those layups in during overtime."
The Lumberjacks shot 49 percent for the game. Montana State had four players in double figures and finished at 46 percent from the field.
NAU opened the second half looking to cut into the lead, posting a 9-0 run behind five points by Saldivar. After the Lumberjacks took the lead, Montana State rallied as the teams battled for most of the second half.
"We did a better job in the second half and they didn't shoot as well," said Murphy. "They shot 60 percent in the first half and 30 percent in the second half and there is a reason for that."
Stallon Saldivar scored a season-high 14 points and Max Jacobsen added 12 points for the Lumberjacks.
The game was tight for the first 10 minutes as the Lumberjacks led four different times but not by more than a basket. NAU turned the ball over seven times over the final eight minutes of the half as the Bobcats built a double digit lead. MSU closed the half on an 11-4 run to lead 47-35 at the break.
Both teams shot the ball well from the field. The Bobcats shot 60 percent from the field and made six three-pointers to boost their effort. NAU shot 54 percent and got strong efforts from Rogers, who scored 13 points, and Saldivar, who hit a pair of triples for six points. Jacobsen and Gaellan Bewernick also notched six points in the first half.
Saldivar became the eighth player in Big Sky Conference history to record 500 assists in the first half and moved into sixth place all-time, finishing with five assists in the game.
Montana State's Xavier Blount, the leading scorer for the Bobcats, missed the game after suffering a season-ending injury in practice on Wednesday.
The Lumberjacks take on Big Sky leading Montana on Saturday in Missoula at 7:05 p.m. Northern Colorado clinched the fourth berth into the Big Sky Tournament with a 66-58 victory over Southern Utah.
"We have nothing to lose," said Murphy. "They are the conference champion and were picked preseason No. 1. We were not supposed to be here. We should have fun with it and give it what we have."
NAU enters the final regular season game at 8-11 in Big Sky play in a tie with Southern Utah and Sacramento State. The Hornets lost at Montana 63-52 Thursday night. NAU would advance if the three teams finish in tie or NAU is in a tie with Sacramento State. If NAU and Southern Utah finish tied, the Thunderbirds would advance to the tournament.
The game can be heard on the Lumberjack Radio Network on 105.1 FM The Big Talker.

Safety, feasibility and effects of an individualised walking intervention for women undergoing chemotherapy for ovarian cancer : a pilot study
Newton, Melissa J., Hayes, Sandi, Janda, Monika, Webb, Penny, Obermair, Andreas, Eakin, Elizabeth, Wyld, David, Gordon, Louisa, & Beesley, Vanessa L. (2011) Safety, feasibility and effects of an individualised walking intervention for women undergoing chemotherapy for ovarian cancer : a pilot study. BMC Cancer, 11(389).
View at publisher (open access)
Background: Exercise interventions during adjuvant cancer therapy have been shown to increase functional capacity, relieve fatigue and distress and may assist rates of chemotherapy completion. These studies have been limited to breast, gastric and mixed cancer groups and it is not yet known if a similar intervention is even feasible among women with ovarian cancer. We aimed to assess safety, feasibility and potential effect of a walking intervention in women undergoing chemotherapy for ovarian cancer.
Methods: Women newly diagnosed with ovarian cancer were recruited to participate in an individualised walking intervention throughout chemotherapy and were assessed pre-and post-intervention. Feasibility measures included session adherence, compliance with exercise physiologist prescribed walking targets and self-reported program acceptability. Changes in objective physical functioning (6 minute walk test), self-reported distress (Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale), symptoms (Memorial Symptom Assessment Scale - Physical) and quality of life (Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy - Ovarian) were calculated, and chemotherapy completion and adverse intervention effects recorded.
Results: Seventeen women were enrolled (63% recruitment rate). Mean age was 60 years (SD = 8 years), 88% were diagnosed with FIGO stage III or IV disease, 14 women underwent adjuvant and three neo-adjuvant chemotherapy. On average, women adhered to > 80% of their intervention sessions and complied with 76% of their walking targets, with the majority walking four days a week at moderate intensity for 30 minutes per session. Meaningful improvements were found in physical functioning, physical symptoms, physical well-being and ovarian cancerspecific quality of life. Most women (76%) completed ≥85% of their planned chemotherapy dose. There were no withdrawals or serious adverse events and all women reported the program as being helpful.
Conclusions: These positive preliminary results suggest that this walking intervention for women receiving chemotherapy for ovarian cancer is safe, feasible and acceptable and could be used in development of future work. Trial registration: ACTRN12609000252213

In response to an Executive Order by California Governor Schwarzenegger, an evaluation of the implications to California of possible climate changes was undertaken using a scenario-based approach. The "Scenarios Project" investigated projected impacts of climate change on six sectors in the California region. The investigation considered the early, middle and later portions of the twenty-first century, guided by a set of IPCC Fourth Assessment global climate model runs forced by higher and lower greenhouse gas emission scenarios. Each of these climate simulations produce substantial impacts in California that would require adaptations from present practices or status. The most severe impacts could be avoided, however, if emissions can be held near the lower end of global greenhouse gas emissions scenarios.

Seen a Good Nut-Crush Recently?
Only a guy named Lars von Trier could go to the Cannes Film Festival with a movie called Antichrist, get booed throughout the screening, and then go into the pressroom and say and this is a direct quote I am the best film director in the world. And you know what? He might not be wrong.
Who else invented the most seminal cinematic movement of the 90s Dogma 95 without even trying? Who else had the genius to cast Björk in a musical? Who else had the guts to use his art-film production company to make female-centric porn? And where is there a contemporary film more daring than Antichrist?
The story of a couple that has just lost its only child and goes into the woods to grieve, Antichrist made waves by including scenes that depict graphic genital mutilation (wooden block, meet Willem Dafoes testicles), and critics are divided on whether the film is horribly misogynistic or painfully brilliant. Either way, no one questions that the film is shockingly bold, so of course youll find it showing only at the Miami Beach Cinematheque (512 Española Way, Miami Beach). The 7 and 9:15 p.m. screenings will be preceded by a short-film compilation called Parts of a Room.

Federal employees who want to make up for the loss of income due to furloughs should bear in mind that restrictions on outside employment will continue to apply to them while on unpaid time off, the government's central ethics agency has said.
"Please remind your agency employees that they must continue to comply with all of the ethics laws and regulations including the criminal conflict of interest laws" plus government-wide standards of conduct and agency-specific restrictions on outside activities, the Office of Government Ethics said in a memo to agencies issued in March.
OGE pointed to its earlier conclusion that such restrictions continue to apply on grounds that furloughed employees are not separated from the civil service but rather are placed in a temporary non-duty, non-pay status akin to taking leave without pay for other reasons, such as parental leave.
Another central agency, the Office of Personnel Management, had said in earlier guidance that before engaging in outside employment, furloughed employees "should review these regulations and then consult their agency ethics official to learn if there are any agency-specific supplemental rules governing the employee."
OPM separately issued additional guidance last week addressing the effects of furloughs on various special pay allowances.

Hostess kept the leaders in range throughout the easily paced $108,900 Glens Falls Handicap (gr. IIIT) (VIDEO) at Saratoga, then burst past odds-on choice Dynaforce and two others mid-stretch for jockey Rajiv Maragh to post a neck victory Sept. 1. on the inner turf course.
Trained by H. James Bond, Hostess has enjoyed a solid 2008 with two wins and two thirds in her past four starts, all coming in grade II or III races. She successfully kicked off her fall season for owner William Clifton Jr. with a big move in the Glens Falls while carrying top weight of 119 pounds. Bond picked up his first win of the Saratoga season on closing day.
Palmilla rallied from the back of the six-horse field in the stretch to gain second under jockey Edgar Prado. Jade Queen, with John Velazquez aboard, finished third, 2 3/4 lengths behind the runner-up. Dynaforce, the 1-2 favorite making her third U.S. start for trainer Bill Mott after transferring from France, came up empty in the stretch and finished fifth. The final time for the 1 3/8-mile event for fillies and mares was 2:11.66.
Tejida showed the way while posting easy fractions of :23 4/5, :47.48 and 1:11.63 and led coming into the stretch before falling back as Jade Queen, along the inside and Dynaforce, stalking on the leader's outside, closed in. But Hostess, reserved but positioned closer to the pace than usual, soon challenged all of them before taking command near the eighth pole. She had a good jump on Palmilla, who closed relentlessly but ran out of room while clearly the best of the rest.
Hostess posted her first win in three starts on the Saratoga lawn and her initial triumph in four tries at the 11-furlong distance. She came into the Glens Falls after a nice freshening, last racing June 21 when she finished a close third to Mauralakana and Dynaforce in the New York Stakes (gr. IIT) at Belmont Park. She beat Mauralakana in the Orchid Handicap (gr. IIIT) at Gulfstream Park in March.
Overall, the 5-year-old Chester House mare has won four times in 20 starts. She earned $65,340 for the win, boosting her total to $379,048. Peter Van Andel bred the winner in Kentucky.
Sent off as the second choice, Hostess paid $8.50, $5 and $5.40. Palmilla, winner of the Robert B. Dick Memorial (gr. IIIT) at Delaware Park last time out for Jonathan Sheppard, returned $6.20 and $6.30, capping a $2 exacta worth $44.20. Jade Queen, running for Todd Pletcher and the Allen E. Paulson Living Trust, was $9.90 to show.
Lamentation, Dynaforce and Tejida trailed. Dyna's Lassie scratched.

The Meyer families Church Seal, [Siegel.]
The word difference was Kirohensiegel and Nahrendorf. That was all.
Now, even though I have to go into work early today, I am going to show you the best copy I have of the original copy. I found it in the Meyer/ Luhmann binder. I regret that the right side is cropped too close. If only I had adjusted to make up for the left side margin being so wide. But for now it is something we have to put up with until I can find the original. I only hope it is in a safe place. Which, I suppose was the original intention. But at least now we have the original view. The folds had gotten so bad that I did make a major error. I glued another paper on to the back of it to make it more secure. I suspect it was not the right kind of glue. I don't know what to do about it any more. I think the damage has been done. I am very sorry.
So now, here is the body of the document with a scan done years ago. Again, Sorry about everything cropped too close. At least the entire right side is there. Nothing is cut off. I will find the original while I finnish my filing of my many boxes of papers. [I am sure you get the picture.]
The document is actually a yellowed paper. This scanner program really sucks. I can not usually get a parched look nor sepia. This is just not the true color. It shouldn't be pink. but then it is better than lavender or green tones.
We do see the name Anna Maria and then something that looks like johanaus and then Henke or Hencke.
A copy of a enlargement. The side are shortened even more, but we can see most of the words better! Now lets see, if we can understand the words better.
We need to see the names of Johan Heinrich Heins, Juergen Heinrich Wilhelm Meyer [ born *1843] and Anna Maria Henke, Maria Dorothea Heins [born *1851] or even Heinss. Possibly Juergen Friedrich Meyer and Cathrina Margarethea Luhmann,

Borrowing technology from its Tour de France-conquering Red gruppo, SRAM's newest road component group, Apex, is gonna make triple chainrings as old-school as downtube shifters. The Apex compact crankset's double chainrings have a wider gear range than the most popular triple, delivering easier climbing and faster descending in a simpler, lighter, more responsive component package.

Can a Load Have Two Power Sources?
I have two fixtures that I would like to have the ability to turn on at any time. One is a motion detector light, whose bypass does not always work for me. It is now wired according to the instructions: power from switch goes into the motion detector, than on to the lamp. I was wondering if I could also install another wall switch that is wired directly to the lamp, bypassing the motion detector, so I could turn the darn thing on when I hear something outside, without doing the on/off/on/off/on "bypass" thing that is SUPPOSED to turn the light on. I realize that, at certain times, the lamp will have two possible sources of 115v power - but it seems to me that it would only draw the power it needs and be ok. The two sources of power would be on the same circuit.
The other fixture is a attic roof exhaust fan that has a thermostat. This has no option to turn on if the thermostat doesn't think that it is hot enough in the attic. Sometimes at night I would like it to run the fan for a while to draw in the cool outside air through the house while I open the windows and the pull-down stairs to the attic.
I don't know if I asked/explained this as clearly as possible, so feel free to ask for clarification.
Thanks in advance for your answers.
As long as your proposed bypass switch is on the same supply circuit as the motion detector, your plan is fine. You are putting the the new switch in parallel with the motion detector. If either is on- the light will be on. Both must be off for the light to be off.
The cleanest (least confusing) way to do it is to run a 2 conductor cable from the thermostat or sensor i.e. both ends as close as possible to the sensor (white wire on the line/feed side sensor terminal, black wire on the load side) then to your override switch.
That said, some folks want two motion lights to both come on when either one gets activated. This has been accomplished by running a single conductor (hot only, no neutral) from one light to the other light (same as running the single conductor from the load side of one sensor to the load side of the other sensor. Now both lights are fed by two sources namely the two sensors. In practice a two conductor cable is run with the white wire taped off and unused. Again, both lights must be fed from the same breaker and should be fed from the same cable going back to the breaker.
I think the correct method for the two motion lights is to disconnect one light socket from its sensor (not the location where the power comes in) and run both hot and neutral to the other light. Also run the hot jumper from the load side of the disconnected sensor to the load side of the still connected sensor.
@TimPa Yeah, the light is supposed to override with on/off/on, but it doesn't always. The other problem, and the most annoying part actually, is that when you do this and get the light to come on, if something then triggers the motion detector it starts the timer and the light goes OFF in five minutes [my choices are one, three or five minutes]. The light is at the top of my driveway and it's frustrating when I'm shoveling snow.
Thanks rjniles, I was hoping for that confirmation.
@ AllenJ: I think what you said is the cleanest way of doing what I need to do. Luckily I'm not trying to get two lights to work from either sensor, but that is an interesting solution.

Its been a long time since I posted. Hope everyone is doing good. I have a question about the bin feed pipe.
I was trying to figure out why the auger was tough to turn so I emptied the coal bin, and took apart the feed pipe. Turns out the muck from the wet coal was impacted several inches into the bin feed pipe, and the pipe either rusted away or was scraped away by the feeding coal. I just have a hole where the pipe feeds into the bin (see picture). Should I notch this all the way down to the bottom of the bin to let more water out? I do have holes drilled in the bin to let out water. The only problem with making this bigger is the coal will come out too. Any recommendations? The coal dust seems to be hardened inside the feed tube like cement... I attached some pictures.
May I buy a new stainless steel bin feed pipe? The original size seems to be about 61.5" long.

William Clarence Downing, 82 ,of Leeton, Mo., died Sunday, Feb. 16, at Research Medical Center in Kansas City.
Bill was born Nov. 1, 1931 in Warrensburg, Mo. the son of Elba T. and Anna (Faulkner) Downing. He graduated from Farmers School near Fayetteville. He enlisted in the United States Air Force and served during the Korean War.
Bill married Dona Marie Coffman on July 4, 1952 in Warrensburg. The couple made their home in Denver, Colo. for several years prior to moving to Elsberry, Mo. in 1970. Bill was employed with the United States Postal Service for many years, having retired from their main office in St. Louis in 1988. In 1991, the couple moved to Leeton. He was a member of the American Legion in Elsberry. He also enjoyed camping and hunting in years past. Bill was also an avid gardener and fisherman.
Survivors include his son, Tracy Downing and wife, Cathy; granddaughter, Teryn Langner and husband, Tyler; and great granddaughter, Rebecca Langner, all of Warrensburg.
He was preceded in death by his wife, Dona in 1997; brother, Marion Downing; and two sisters, Erma Gauchat and Fern Lamb.

Thanks to those stumbles in late December and Pepperdine and Loyola Marymount, and the triple-overtime loss at Portland, there's no margin of error for the BYU basketball team these days if it wants to make the NCAA Tournament.
A loss tonight at Pacific, where the Cougars are 3 1/2-point favorites, would be especially damning.
You can read more about how BYU is on the proverbial NCAA Tournament bubble in this piece previewing tonight's game.
"I think you can feel it from the guys. I think they realize that they are in a position where the games are really important. They really mean a lot," BYU coach Dave Rose said. "I think our sport is unique to the fact that there is always another chance with the [conference] tournament at the end. But I do that believe our guys know the standings, and just know the weight of every game now. The best part is that when you do win, it makes the next game even more important, and that's a great way to get through February and March."<

As NASA's Curiosity rover continues to inch across the red planet's dusty Gale Crater, America's interest in space exploration inches upward as well. Jeopardy!'s Ken Jennings is a bit of space nerd himself, and this month he'll be navigating us through an asteroid belt of misconceptions about the exploration of the cosmos. Even if you're not one of the 6 percent of Americans who believes that the moon landing was a hoax, you might have been fleeced by one or more of these fallacies about the final frontier.
Space Myth #2: American Space Missions Launch from Cape Canaveral.
If we're using "Cape Canaveral" as an example of what your English teacher used to call metonymy—representing some thing or concept with the name of something else—then yes, NASA launches from the Cape. It's the same way we might refer to the movie industry as "Hollywood," even though only one major studio (Paramount) is actually headquartered in the Hollywood district these days—they're all elsewhere in Los Angeles. The same is true of NASA: in strict geographical terms, it hasn't launched manned missions from the Cape itself in over forty years.
Cape Canaveral is a dangly sand headland jutting southward off the Florida coast, and has been used by the Air Force as a missile testing ground since 1949. It was ideally suited for the nascent space program because it had the wide Atlantic Ocean downrange—a big safety plus—and was one of the southernmost bits of the continental United States, which gives launches the added oomph of the Earth's faster rotation near the Equator. Way back in 1865, a Jules Verne novel had predicted that the first moon launch would take place in Florida. Most of America's early rocket launches did indeed take place near the tip of the cape, where the Air Force still maintains a space installation.
Since 1968, however, all manned civilian launches have taken place a few miles north of the cape, at NASA's Kennedy Space Center. The launch complex, including the pads where every moon mission and Space Shuttle launch took place, aren't really on Cape Canaveral itself, but on an adjacent peninsula called Merritt Island. Unmanned NASA launches—probes and the like—still use the Cape, since they typically catch a ride on Air Force rockets. But no astronaut has taken off from Cape Canaveral proper since Gemini 12, when newspapers still cost a dime and Bonanza was America's top-rated TV show. Of course, NASA isn't launching astronauts at all anymore since the shuttle program was shuttered, but when we put a man or woman back in space again—and it will happen someday—it probably won't be from Cape Canaveral.
Quick Quiz: Since 1999, what has been the telephone area code of Brevard County, Florida, in honor of its history of space launches?
Ken Jennings is the author of Because I Said So!, Brainiac, Ken Jennings's Trivia Almanac, and Maphead. He's also the proud owner of an underwhelming Bag o' Crap. Follow him at ken-jennings.com or on Twitter as @KenJennings.
Quiz answer: 321. Before that, 407.
I'm a cheat, though- Merritt Island native and student at the Florida Institute of Technology a short drive south in Melbourne. Thanks for addressing this annoying misconception! If you're ever in Brevard, stop by to visit the telescope and have a beer.
Also, I'll note that *unmanned* NASA missions do regularly launch from the Cape. For example, Curiosity, TDRS and LRO/LCROSS have all launched fairly recently.
However, I cheat. I'm currently sitting in an office on Cape Canaveral.
Having insider information because you are actually where the question is about is not the same thing as cheating.
I guessed and then "cheated" by using the Google to confirm. You both answered based on actual first-hand knowledge, so no cheating occurred.
Nicely played!
The military launch pads are at Cape Canaveral. The manned pads, 41a and 41b are on Merritt Island, AFAIK.
They are all part of KSC.

Where, at BCC? I meant to take a trip there a couple of years ago when I visited KSC, but time didn't allow it. Perhaps next visit.

Nah, Florida Tech. BCC is cool, but FIT has some seriously awesome labs and research going on (including the largest privately owned research telescope in the southeasteren US). It's a school more-or-less full of rocket scientists.
You'll also see references to Cape Kennedy. When LBJ renamed the space center, he went even further and got the name of the actual cape changed too.
Nobody objected to naming the space center after Kennedy, but Canaveral was n historic name that people didn't like losing.
It was quietly changed back to Canaveral in the 1970s.
Guest Blogger
Very nice, "321" is indeed the Cape Canaveral area code. I think this was a Final Jeopardy clue once.
And yes, unmanned missions do still launch from the Air Force base on the actual cape. As the piece says, for the moment, "unmanned" is the only kind of mission NASA operates.

The newest little black book on the bookshelf, Steal Like an Artist: 10 Things Nobody Told You About Being Creative from Austin Kleon, is definitely attention grabbing. At first glance, I admit, I was a bit confused by the title. Who really gives advice to steal from other people? He doesn't waste any time writing about his implication of the title and quickly draws you in with his powerful, very truthful, and inspiring words of advice.
Here are just a few of the thought provoking insights Kleon provides in his book:
- Nothing is truly original. Your ideas were inspired from somewhere or someone. "Nothing comes from nowhere."
- Every new idea is a mix of a combination of other ideas and inspirations.
- Artists have a job to collect good ideas, "You're only going to be as good as the stuff you surround yourself with."
- See yourself as part of an artistic and creative lineage; study everything there is to know about your favorite artists.
- Be curious about the world around you. Google everything you ever wanted to know.
- Doodle, journal, and save. Allow yourself time to doodle and get inspired. Write down your ideas when they come to you and save them for later.
- Get dressed and setup your stage for the job you want, not the job you have.
- Copy your favorite artists. "Don't just steal the style, steal the thinking behind the style."
- Don't imitate, emulate your favorite artists. Make them proud you were influenced by their work.
- Write the books you WANT to read.
- Step away from technology, use analog tools, and get busy with your hands. Setup two work stations – one for analog work and the other for digital work.
- Practice productive procrastination. Keep yourself busy with side jobs.
- Keep your hobbies; keep all your passions in your life.
- Share your work.
- Your geographical location is no longer an excuse; your location does not have to hold you back.
- Make good friends and ignore your enemies. Anything you say can be used against you and probably will, so keep your mouth shut.
- Write public fan letters.
- Your work does not need validation from anyone. "So get comfortable with being misunderstood, disparaged, or ignored – the trick is to be too busy doing your work to care."
- Artistic highs wear off. Keep a praise file to return to for encouragement.
- Keep busy, stay out of debt, and get organized.
- Don't overload yourself with possibilities. Simplify. "Limitations mean freedom."
I thought the entire book, from cover to cover, was truly uplifting and motivating. This book should be read by everyone, including artists and even those who are not creative types. His advice is great for everyday use, in any field of work. Kleon said, "Draw the art you want to see, start the business you want to run, play the music you want to hear, write the books you want to read, build the products you want to use – do the work you want to see done." Page after page has beautifully written advice that you may even find yourself reading the book in its entirety and even reading it again later for another boost of confidence. It's a great read and a definite must-have for your creative and inspirational bookshelf.
