ROCHESTER, N.Y. -- Senior Mark DeCirce scored a game-high four goals, including the game-winning goal in the third quarter, to lead host Nazareth to a 14-10 victory over St. John Fisher in a men's Empire 8 Conference lacrosse game. The 14 goals that the Golden Flyers' offense produced are the most that the Cardinals have allowed in a game this season.
Wednesday's game featured a matchup between nationally ranked teams as St. John Fisher and Nazareth entered the game ranked 10th and 11th, respectively, in Division III. With the victory, the Golden Flyers improve to 11-2 overall, and Nazareth remains unbeaten in conference games with a 6-0 record. The Golden Flyers, meanwhile, hand St. John Fisher its first loss of the season. The Cardinals drop to 12-1 overall and 4-1 in Empire 8 contests. The victory also puts Nazareth on the inside track for the top seed in the upcoming Empire 8 Tournament, which will be played May 7th and 9th.
The game featured a wild first half in which each team tallied eight goals. Fisher's Kyle Denhoff put the Cardinals on the board first 2:24 into the first quarter. The Golden Flyers answered with back-to-back goals separated by just 1:06. Senior Kurt Detwiler scored Nazareth's first goal 4:54 into the period after receiving a pass from junior Joe Jacobs-Ferderbar. Detwiler's goal was followed by DeCirce's first goal of the game, which was unassisted.
After Fisher's Jeff Price found the back of the Nazareth net, junior Kyle McLean answered to reclaim Nazareth's one-goal lead, 3-2, midway through the quarter. Sophomore C.J. Estes was credited with an assist on McLean's goal as he found McLean with a well-timed pass.
The Cardinals tallied the next three goals, spanning 3:36, to take a 5-3 lead with 2:47 left in the opening quarter. Jacobs-Ferderbar cut the Golden Flyers' deficit to one goal in the final seconds of the quarter with an outstanding individual effort as he somehow got a shot past the Cardinals' goalie, Jon Cortina, after working to dodge around the Fisher defender.
After receiving a pass from Estes, sophomore John McDonnell tied the game 2:27 into the second quarter. The tie was short lived though as the Cardinals struck again for three straight goals to take an 8-5 lead with 7:33 remaining in the half. Connor Henderson scored two of the three goals, sandwiched around a goal by Ryan Schmidt. Fisher's offense struck quickly in the first half. Henderson's goals and the goal by Schmidt were separated by less than three minutes.
The Golden Flyers' defense, however, settled and allowed the Cardinals just two goals throughout the remainder of the game. In fact, the Nazareth defense allowed Fisher just 11 shots during the entire second half. Senior Todd Dermody recorded three saves in the final 30 minutes, including a sprawling save where dived from the ground to block the Cardinals' shot.
Just 12 seconds after Henderson's second goal, DeCirce answered with his second goal of the game, which was assisted by junior R.J. Gringeri after Gringeri won the faceoff. About a minuted later, Jacobs-Ferderbar cut Nazareth's deficit to one goal, 8-7, with an unassisted goal. With 4:07 to play before halftime, junior Mike Centra used a screen to beat Cortina to tie the score 8-8. Centra's goal was assisted by freshman Jimmy Gaffney. Each team had the ball in the final minutes of the quarter, but neither team's defense allowed the offenses to score before halftime.
The Golden Flyers and Cardinals traded goals to open the second half. Nazareth junior Scott Castle struck first 1:09 into the period to temporarily give the Golden Flyers a 9-8 lead, but Chris Schmidt answered 1:20 later to knot the game, 9-9. A few minutes later, DeCirce scored his third goal of the game to reclaim Nazareth's lead, however Price scored his second of the game for Fisher to tie the game 10-10, with 3:40 left in the first half. Two minutes later, DeCirce scored the eventual game-winning goal after he received a pass from Castle and sent a quick shot past Cortina.
The Golden Flyers secured the victory in the fourth quarter as they controlled much of the possession and added three insurance goals. Senior Mike Cummings scored his first goal of the game 3:19 into the final quarter. Detwiler added his second of the game with 8:18 to play in regulation and McDonnell tallied his second goal about five minutes later.
Dermody finished with eight saves to earn the victory for the Golden Flyers. Cortina finished with a game-high 12 saves in the loss for the Cardinals.
The Golden Flyers held a 45-31 advantage in shots and a 27-19 advantage in ground balls collected. Each team won 14 faceoffs. Gringeri won 11 of 19 faceoffs for Nazareth while Erich Rassow won 14 of 28 faceoffs for Fisher. Rassow also collected a team-high six ground balls. Estes finished with a game-high seven ground balls for the Golden Flyers.
Nazareth travels to Stevens Saturday for another key Empire 8 Conference contest. The Golden Flyers face the Ducks at 1 p.m. Nazareth returns home

ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- University of Michigan fifth-year senior wide receiver Jeremy Gallon (Apopka, Fla./Apopka HS) was named today (Monday, Sept. 9) as the Big Ten Offensive Player of the Week for his performance in the Wolverines' 41-30 win over Notre Dame Saturday night. It marks Gallon's first Big Ten Player of the Week honor.
Gallon also was named the National Offensive Player of the Week by College Sports Madness and the National Wide Receiver of the Week by College Football Performance Awards.
Gallon posted career bests with 184 receiving yards and three touchdowns on eight catches against the Fighting Irish. He became the first Michigan player to record three touchdown catches since Mario Manningham did it against Notre Dame on Sept. 16, 2006. Gallon's 184 receiving yards marked the sixth most in program history and the most since Roy Roundtree posted a school-record 246 yards against Illinois on Nov. 6, 2010.
Gallon gave the Wolverines a 10-0 lead on a 61-yard touchdown reception in the first quarter of Saturday night's game. He added a 12-yard touchdown catch in the second quarter, and his 13-yard TD reception with 1:54 remaining in the third quarter gave the Wolverines a 34-20 lead.
Gallon has posted at least one reception in 28 consecutive games, fifth all-time in Michigan's leaders in the category. He has six touchdown receptions in the past three games dating back to the Outback Bowl last season.
No. 11 Michigan (2-0) will face Akron (1-1) on Saturday (Sept. 14) at Michigan Stadium at noon EDT. The game will be broadcast on Big Ten Network.

I do a sweep for Japanese beetles once or twice a day. I have lots of beetles. And I don't suffer sitting down very well, so when I need a break from whatever I'm doing, I usually just grab my container with its couple of inches of water skimmed with vegetable oil and collect beetles. Not only is it an organic way to keep down the JB population, but I end up checking out every flowering plant and new shrub at least once a day. I see what's blooming, about to bloom or if they need pruning, deadheading, etc.
Another aspect is that I am keeping track of what kinds of insects are attracted to what kinds of plants.
A couple of days ago I saw 3 new bees on the Ring zins. At long last - bumble bees! I was sooo excited. It was just about 1 minute before 1:00 in the afternoon. I knew that because while I was still excited by my find, a local church began it's 1:00 carolon with Beethoven's 9th symphony: JOY. Now THAT is one heck of a way to herald the arrival of bumble bees. LOL
The top pic shows a bumble with a very buff banded bottom (initial ID: bombus borealis), the type that I assumed were my first bumbles. But while trying to identify them, I found out that another, slightly smaller bee that has been around for a while is also a bumble. And that one has a charcoal banded bottom (initial ID: bombus impatiens). Doh! Being new to this bee business, I'm not very certain between larger native/solitary bees and smaller members/types of bumble bees. And I find it darn HARD to easily find online identification for bees. It's very frustrating sometimes.
VERY easy to identify are Carpenter Bees. These guys are as big as my THUMB and have fuzzless shiny black bottoms. (Of course all the holes in my shed are another easy way to identify them!) Here is one on my monarda punctata. The carpies LOVE this plant so much so that they do not visit ANY others. Really. Even the Jap beetles will tell you that.... just before they go for a nice cooling swim.
Also note that I've updated the Vegetable, Project and Flower pages as I resolve to try to keep things a little more current on the blog. Click on the page links on the top of the sidebar to visit those pages.

You have better close shots that mine. I don't think that I have ever seen that bee in the second picture. Yes I am concerned for the bees also. We in the USA have beekeepers bring in hives to help apple orchards and strawberry plants. There is a great concern over the bacteria or virus that keeps the bees dying off. I will plant more flowers every year to help them out. Nice photos.ReplyDelete
Hi L.D. It's not that I'm a good photographer, I just keep snapping and snapping. 10-12 shots and sometimes I get lucky and there's a shot good enough to post! LOLReplyDelete
My gardens are geared toward the native bees and the native plants that they co-evolved with. I'm learning new stuff all the time. It's fun and I feel that my gardening is now more than a pasttime now, it's got some direction. Thanks for visiting and caring about the bees.
Thank you for visiting. I appreciate your notes, comments and questions and will try to reply to each one! :-)

Salem • Renae Kinghorn faced a difficult decision in the bottom of the sixth inning of a scoreless game.
Should the Salem Hills softball coach have Abbie Tuttle bunt or let her swing away with runners on first and second and no outs?
Clark left the bat in Tuttle's hands.
Tuttle doubled in what proved to be the winning run Thursday afternoon to help Salem Hills to a 3-0 win over Murray in the second round of the Class 4A state softball tournament.
"It crossed my mind for a second that maybe I should have her bunt, but if Abbie Tuttle doesn't get on her first two at-bats, I know that she's going to hit the ball in her third at-bat," Kinghorn said. "I took a risk, and sometimes when you take a risk it doesn't pay off. But I'm so glad it did today."
Kenzie Martin led off the bottom of the sixth inning with a walk. Murray opted to lift starting pitcher Vanessa Brambila in favor of Erin Hohnholt.
Tiffany Madsen then beat out a bunt to leave runners at first and second. Tuttle answered with a double to center field for a 1-0 lead. Kirtlyn Bohling then hit a sacrifice fly, and Ashley Whiting followed with a bunt. Murray tried to get Tuttle at home, but she beat the throw to give the Skyhawks a 3-0 lead.
It was more than enough for Bohling, who gave up just two hits and won her 20th game of the season while recording her 15th shutout.
Murray's best chance to score came in the fourth inning when Lauren Bell hit a comebacker to Bohling, but her throw to first was wide, which allowed Bell to reach second.
Murray opted to send Bell, but Salem Hills catcher Kaylee Simons threw a strike to third for the first out. Emily Adams walked, then Christal Milne popped up a bunt that looked like it would fall, but Simons made a diving catch in front of the plate.
It proved to be a pivotal defensive play because Courtney Beavers singled to right, leaving runners on first and third.
Ashlee Crabtree hit a sinking line drive to left that seemed certain to give Murray the lead, but Whiting made a diving catch to get the Skyhawks out of the inning unscathed.

Many PreSonus products are equipped with standardized digital audio inputs and outputs, enabling them to transfer digital audio to and from an assortment of devices without conversion to and from the analog domain. Some PreSonus products also have dedicated, standardized connections for digital-audio synchronization signals. To help you understand these technologies, we've prepared a brief tutorial on digital connections and synchronization.
ADAT Optical
ADAT Lightpipe uses the same type of optical cables and Toslink connectors as the S/PDIF two-channel optical digital audio protocol (discussed shortly). These cables can be purchased at your local recording-equipment store. Toslink is an optical-fiber connection system developed by Toshiba that uses a JIS F05 connector (see Fig. 1). The generic name for this standard is "EIAJ optical."
The only current PreSonus product that offers ADAT Lightpipe I/O is the AudioBox 1818VSL, although some discontinued FireStudio-series products also offered this feature. The DigiMax D8 offers ADAT Lightpipe output only.
"Sample Multiplexing" or S/MUX is used to transmit high-bandwidth digital audio using lower-bandwidth technology, such as ADAT Lightpipe. S/MUX works by joining two or more digital audio channels to represent a single higher-bandwidth channel. By using S/MUX technology, you can stream 8 channels of digital audio at 88.2 kHz or 96 kHz over the same Lightpipe connection originally designed to stream 16 channels of 44.1 kHz or 48 kHz audio.
The discontinued DigiMax FS and FireStudio 26x26 offered one set of S/MUX inputs and outputs. The discontinued FireStudio Lightpipe was equipped with two sets of S/MUX inputs and outputs, so it could record and play back 16 channels of audio at 88.2 kHz or 96 kHz or 32 channels at 44.1 or 48 kHz.
AES/EBU and S/PDIF
Developed by the Audio Engineering Society and the European Broadcasting Union, AES/EBU (officially known as AES3) is a 2-channel format that can carry audio signals at up to 192 kHz. AES/EBU employs a 3-pin XLR connector, which is the same connector used for most professional microphones. A single cable carries both channels of audio data. No current PreSonus products have AES/EBU digital connections but the now-discontinued DigiMax 96k was one of the first 8-channel mic preamps to offer them.
S/PDIF (Sony/Philips Digital Interface) was co-developed by Sony and Philips to transfer stereo digital audio. It is essentially a consumer version of AES/EBU, and as with AES/EBU, a single cable carries both channels of the stereo audio signal. Digital Audio Tape (DAT) machines were among the first devices to be equipped with this protocol but is has since become popular in consumer audio products such as DVD players, as well as in semi-pro and professional audio products.
The most common connector used for S/PDIF is an RCA coaxial connector (see Fig. 2). While S/PDIF RCA coaxial uses the same connector as the analog RCA connection on consumer audio products, the cables are not the same, and these connections should not be confused. PreSonus products that offer S/PDIF RCA coaxial inputs and outputs include the FireStudio Mobile, FireStudio Project, and discontinued FireStudio (26x26). The StudioLive™ 16.4.2 and StudioLive 24.4.2 digital mixers have an S/PDIF RCA output, and the Central Station has an S/PDIF RCA input.
TDIF (Tascam Digital Interface) transmits and receives up to 8 channels of digital audio over a single cable and uses a 25-pin D-sub connector. Tascam introduced TDIF with the DA-88 modular digital multitrack recorder, and the format was later adopted by other companies. However, PreSonus products do not use TDIF.
The TDIF-1 specification has developed over the years. Early versions did not support self-clocking so a separate BNC word-clock connection was required. Later products added self-clocking, and the TDIF-1 version 2.0 specification added transfer of higher-resolution (up to 192 kHz) digital audio, albeit with reduced track counts.
Digital Clocking, Word Clock, and BNC
Digital clocking signals are used to synchronize digital audio signals flowing between devices in order to avoid data errors. Why is that necessary? Read on!
Analog audio is transferred through a cable as a continuous electrical waveform–it's not divided into discrete steps—and electricity travels through a straight wire at almost the speed of light. So when you route audio between analog devices, the signals arrive instantaneously, for practical purposes. Therefore, you don't have to synchronize analog audio when routing between devices.
Transferring digital audio is a very different matter. Computers and other digital devices operate one step at a time, which happens very quickly but it's not instantaneous, and digital signals are not inherently in perfect time. True, uncompressed digital audio plays at a fixed rate (the sampling frequency) but digital clocks are not perfect; their frequency can drift, and they almost always have at least some irregular errors known as jitter. Therefore, two devices, each following its own clock, are highly unlikely to stay in agreement about precisely when a sample starts and ends. The result is usually an artifact: a pop or glitch in the audio.
To avoid this problem, when transferring digital audio in real time among multiple digital devices, all digital devices need to follow a single master clock. That means the master clock has to send a signal that essentially says, "everyone start at this moment and follow me!" Even if the master clock's timing is imperfect, all of the slave devices will follow the timing errors exactly and will stay in sync with each other. Therefore, you won't get timing-related artifacts.
Three basic clocking systems are in common use in digital-audio systems. Each is used in various PreSonus gear.
In a self-clocking system, the clock signal is embedded in the audio stream. Samples are streaming in real time, with the clock marking the start time of each sample. The receiving device extracts the embedded clock signal from the digital audio. Self-clocking is implemented in every digital audio protocol (ADAT, S/PDIF, AES/EBU, etc.), and all PreSonus devices that offer ADAT Lightpipe or S/PDIF I/O employ self-clocking systems for those connections.
Distributed clocking systems are commonly used in professional environments with multiple digital devices because a clocking stream that does not contain audio will be cleaner than a clocking stream that does contain audio, as in a self-clocking system. In a distributed system, sync signals and audio signals are separate. The clocking signal in a distributed clocking system is called word clock. (A word, in this case, is a fixed-size group of digital bits.) A word-clock generator creates digital pulses that control the frequency of the internal oscillator of each device to avoid frequency drift. Word clock does not carry location information, the way time code does, nor does it carry audio information; it only determines the rate at which samples should occur.
Word clock is used for a few types of distributed-clocking systems but the most common in professional audio uses a BNC connector (see Fig. 3). In this system, word clock is sent over dedicated, shielded, coaxial cables with standard twist-lock, BNC-type connections on each end. The cables are rugged and can carry clock signals much farther than standard optical cable. BNC connections are made in several impedances but PreSonus devices require an impedance of 75Ω to achieve consistent sync. We'll discuss various ways of wiring word-clock devices in the section "Synchronizing Multiple Digital Audio Devices." PreSonus devices that offer BNC word-clock connections include the DigiMax D8 and AudioBox 1818VSL and the discontinued FireStudio 26x26, FireStudio Lightpipe, and DigiMax FS.
Synchronizing Multiple Digital Audio Devices
Whether you are using BNC or another digital output to generate word clock, it is necessary to designate one device as the "master" word-clock device to which all other digital devices are synced, or "slaved." Many digital devices perform equally well as a master or a slave, although some devices must be one or the other. Synchronizing a device to a lesser-quality clock source is likely to degrade its performance, and not all word-clock generators are created equal. You generally need to determine which device has the best clock and to designate that device as the word-clock master. This is done with careful listening and A/B testing.
Once you've determined which device is to be your master clock, you will need to sync the remaining digital devices through series or parallel distribution or some combination thereof. Of course, if your digital-device chain only consists of one master and one slave, syncing the two is as simple as connecting a BNC word-clock cable from the output of your master device to the input of the device you are slaving.
When working with multiple slaved devices, the job gets a bit more complicated. Series distribution requires that your digital devices have both a BNC word-clock input and a BNC word-clock output. Parallel distribution uses a BNC T-connector attached to the BNC word-clock input of each slaved device. This allows the word-clock signal to be sent to that device and then sent on to another device. A BNC word-clock output on the slaved devices is not used for parallel word-clock distribution. If the last device in the chain does not have a word-clock terminate switch, you will need to attach a BNC terminator plug to the other side of the T-connector. This helps to stabilize the word-clock sync and keep the word-clock signal clean. Both word-clock terminator plugs and BNC T-connectors can be purchased at most recording-supply retailers.
A third option for syncing your digital devices is to purchase a high-quality, dedicated word-clock generator. Many engineers believe that using dedicated word-clock generators enhances the performance of digital audio devices more effectively than series or parallel word-clock distribution. A dedicated word-clock generator and distribution amplifier exists for one purpose and one purpose only: to be a master clock.
Word-clock generators usually have one BNC word-clock input and multiple BNC word-clock outputs, and sometimes they have TDIF, S/PDIF, or ADAT outputs to make them compatible with as many types of digital devices as possible. Without a dedicated word-clock generator, it is necessary to split the master device's word-clock signal by daisy-chaining the slaved devices as described earlier. Because of this, many engineers feel that the resulting digital audio signals will be of a higher quality when a dedicated word-clock generator is used; in this way, all digital devices are receiving the same digital pulse from the same source at exactly the same time.
Whichever approach you use, it is always advisable to use quality BNC cables that are no longer than necessary for the job. As with audio cabling, it is good to keep word-clock cables separate from AC cable lines or other possible sources of interference.

Landslide victory for Thaksin predicted
Page Tools
Bangkok: The Thai Prime Minister, Thaksin Shinawatra, was on course for a huge victory in yesterday's election, with exit polls predicting he would secure 399 out of 500 parliamentary seats.
The projected win, which would hand Mr Thaksin an unprecedented second term, was far larger than forecasts predicted - the most recent of which had the billionaire tycoon's party Thai Rak Thai winning 349 seats, up from the 320 it held in the outgoing parliament.
Projections suggested the leading opposition Democrat Party was set to take 80 seats, Chart Thai 20, and the newly formed Mahachon Party one seat.
In the capital, Bangkok, Mr Thaksin's party grabbed 35 of 37 constituencies, the exit polls found, but in the troubled south, where the Democrats are traditionally dominant, it scooped just nine seats compared with their 45.
With the polls closed, television stations defied an official ban and released exit polls. Mr Thaksin predicted the turnout would be 70 per cent.
"Democracy is about diversity of opinion. We want to see people come out to show their power in a democratic way," he said.
The win was set easily to exceed Mr Thaksin's goal of controlling 350 seats in the lower House of Representatives, handing him Thailand's first single-party government under a democracy.
The Democrats had already conceded they could not defeat Mr Thaksin and had asked voters only for enough seats to censure his government in parliament.
The party chief, Banyat Bantadtan, complained that vote-buying had doubled from the last election.
Vote-buying has a long tradition in Thailand - a survey released yesterday said the average rate this year was 513 baht ($17.50) per ballot.
The kingdom's 44 million eligible voters cast their ballots just six weeks after the tsunami disaster that killed about 5400 people in Thailand.

Our dictionaries describe "training" with phrases like "coaching," "familiarizing or making accustomed," "making proficient with instruction or practice," even "manipulating." We wouldn't argue about the accuracy of any of these terms. After all, that's what the dictionary says and we've all been trained to accept what the dictionary tells us, right? Of course!
But how many of us have been frustrated, disappointed, even angry at times with the lackluster results of training programs or our own lack of success in training others to do their jobs? Most of us, probably. On one hand, we understand the need for people to know what's expected of them and the need to provide them with the information and wherewithal to do it. At the same time, when we think we've done all we can to make sure they are equipped and ready to go, we don't always see the results we wanted and expected. We begin to question whether they "get it" or not—or worse, if they ever will.
Before we go any further, permit me to set the "expectations bar." We aren't going to solve all your training problems, whatever they may be. We are not going to delve deeply into motivational theory or the unique ways in which adults learn or the outside influences that affect job performance or the relative merits of competing management styles and their effects on employees or ... or ... or …. Rather, we are going to look at a pretty simple process—a problem-solving process—that can help ferret out some of the more common reasons for training that misses the mark and doesn't yield what we hope for.
More Training is Not Always the Answer
A common reaction to a performance problem, whether it's with an individual or a group, is to conclude up front that the right training will fix it. We begin to scour all known training resources for the "right" seminar that will set the person straight; give him the skills he lacks or reveal his need to adjust his personal style; or address whatever we have identified as the root cause of his problem. "Therein lies the rub," as they say. In one easy step we have diagnosed the problem as "his" and have written the prescription to solve it for him and us.
What's missing is a simple analysis that can help get at the root of the performance discrepancy. It involves asking a series of questions, including:
- Specifically, what is the problem? What isn't happening that should be happening? What isn't getting done?
- What are the operational consequences that flow from not getting the desired performance?
- Does it matter? (Sometimes it doesn't or at least not very much.)
- Have the current performance expectations been made clear? Have they changed over time without being redefined and communicated to the person or people involved? Are we even sure we know what they are?
- Is feedback occurring as it should? Is it specific, frequent and done in a timely manner? Does it give the employee enough to go on to adjust what she is doing to meet the expectations that we have in mind?
- Are consequences for performing (or not) meaningful and appropriate? Has it mattered in the past or has inadequate performance been tolerated enough to make it seem acceptable? Are there any consequences at all for either good or poor performance?
- Conversely, has good performance become punishing? Has the good performer become the "go to" person to a point that her performance is compromised by the sheer volume of what she is being required to do?
Case Study
Perhaps a brief case example would help to illustrate the value of asking these questions and how the analysis can inform the conclusion and resolution of the "problem."
Problem: A recently appointed department director reviewed the accountabilities of his department managers as part of his orientation. He noticed that one manager has specific responsibility for leading a staff committee that oversees the company's diversity program. He also noticed a disturbing lack of information about the committee's activity for the last three years. In prior conversations with this manager, the diversity initiative has not received much attention and the people assigned to the committee seem unenthusiastic about their mission. Diversity is important to the organization. It serves a widely diverse community and wants to show its commitment as a core corporate value.
Solution (albeit misguided): Rather than berate the manager involved, the department director decided, "We need to reinvigorate our diversity initiative. We'll bring in a local consultant to underscore our commitment. The manager chairing the seemingly inactive committee will organize the training for the committee and will have a specific assignment to restore the visibility and importance of diversity in the organization."
What the director would have learned had he slowed down and asked a few questions: Yes, it's true: (1) the committee hadn't even met for almost three years; and (2) the annual report to the president on diversity goals and activities hadn't been completed for the last two years. This is an obvious dereliction of duty, an accountability ignored and one based on a core corporate value.
BUT, what was discovered later was that when the report had been submitted in prior years, no one acknowledged receiving it, let alone commented on it. No one got any recognition for their work, not even the manager who chaired the committee. Attendance dropped off at scheduled meetings and the manager was unable to get committee members to come. Eventually, he gave up. No one cared. He decided to ignore the annual report and scheduling more meetings. Guess what happened? Nothing!
So what solution would the department director have come to had he followed the questioning process described earlier? Let's review.
- Specifically, what is the problem? He knew some of what had been happening. But was that enough? Probably not. He thought he knew enough to act but did he?
- What are the consequences and does it matter that the committee was dormant? Sure, it mattered because this is a core corporate value. But is it … really? What evidence suggests it is a priority? It's a little thin, from the manager's perspective.
- Are expectations clear? They were in the beginning but are they now? It's hard to tell.
- Did the manager's other responsibilities take on more importance, enough for him to convince himself to let this one go? We don't know but it's a possibility.
- Is feedback occurring as it should? No. Is there encouragement from others? Or questions about what the committee's work? Have ideas been offered to the committee or its chair? Recognition? What's that? Missing altogether!
- Any consequences for not performing? Or performing as expected? No. Conclusion of the chair and the committee: "lf no one else cares, why should l? I have more important things to do."
- Is good performance actually punishing? Yes, it was in this case but everyone, even the chair, figured out how to escape the punishment. Just don't show up and keep a low profile.
An entirely different scenario could have played out if the well-meaning, but misguided, department director had asked a few questions about this obvious performance shortfall. Let's suppose that " yes," diversity is still among the top corporate values and priorities. Where is the performance discrepancy then? What is needed to revive it, to raise its profile in the organization? Is that the responsibility of the committee chair? Yes, in part but others have a stake in this issue. It's bigger than a mere routine committee assignment.
So what did occur as a result of the department director's plan? The committee chair got a mild scolding and a pep talk about the importance of diversity. He coordinated the training of the committee by the consultant. He reported on the semi-monthly committee meetings, prepared quarterly progress reports on the affirmative action goals, published a new diversity brochure, and (most important) did the annual report faithfully. In short, the department director got compliance, while committee participation languished, and the committee chair got discouraged but did what he had to do. Not a good outcome.
Was training appropriate in this situation? Yes, but not the training that was imposed by the department director. It didn't come close to addressing the underlying issues—a manager who needed encouragement and coaching on how to speak up effectively when needed and an organization's leadership that may have lost sight of one of its core values.
Granted, not all performance issues have the kind of implications apparent in this example. Many are as simple as training or retraining on a skill set that has become rusty from infrequent use.
Others are resolved simply by removing obstacles that get in the way of doing a job well, like providing the right resources to get it done. Still others require only clarifying job expectations, maybe adjusting responsibilities to get them to reasonable levels. There are almost endless possibilities that can be explored before jumping to the "training" quick fix.
Asking the right questions pays big dividends and will add focus to the training you do and leverage the resources used for real training more effectively.
Who wouldn't cheer for that?

NYPD Detective in Coma
A New York City police detective is in a medically induced coma, after being punched in the head on a subway platform in Manhattan over the weekend.
The 29 year old officer was off-duty when he got into an argument with another man on a 6 train platform at 23rd Street and Park Avenue around 6:30. The suspect punched the detective, causing him to hit his head on the ground.
"He has bleeding on the brain," a police source told the Daily News.
The unidentified officer is now in a coma at Bellevue Hospital.
Police have released a sketch of the suspect and are asking for the public's help in identifying him.

Taken together, our data provide the first evidence that FXR suppresses proliferation of human liver cancer cells via the inhibition of the mTOR (show FRAP1 ELISA Kits)/S6K (show RPS6KB1 ELISA Kits) signaling pathway. FXR expression can be used as a biomarker of personalized mTOR (show FRAP1 ELISA Kits) inhibitor treatment assessment for liver cancer patients.
Activated FXR inhibits leptin (show LEP ELISA Kits) signaling and counteracts tumor-promoting activities of cancer-associated fibroblasts in breast malignancy.
FXR may promote the proliferation of tumor cells and the hepatocytes in the process of liver regeneration by activating the PDK4 (show PDK4 ELISA Kits)-mediated metabolic reprogramming to generate glycolytic intermediates essential for rapid biomass generation, establishing a mechanistic link between cell proliferation and metabolic switch.
this is the first report of bile acid derivatives able to antagonize GPBAR1 (show GPBAR1 ELISA Kits) and and farnesoid X receptor (FXR) modulatory activity.
induction of SOCS3 (show SOCS3 ELISA Kits) may be a novel mechanism by which FXR exerts its anti-hepatocellular carcinoma effects
Mutations in NR1H4 cause progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis.
we drew a conclusion that curcumin attenuated Alcoholic liver disease by modulating lipid deposition in hepatocytes via a Nrf2 (show GABPA ELISA Kits)/FXR activation-dependent mechanism
miR (show MLXIP ELISA Kits)-122 is a novel target gene of FXR, and the upregulation of miR (show MLXIP ELISA Kits)-122 by FXR represses the growth of hepatocellular carcinoma cells, suggesting that FXR may serve as a key transcriptional regulator for manipulating miR (show MLXIP ELISA Kits)-122 expression
IL-18 (show IL18 ELISA Kits) repressed FXR mRNA and protein levels in HepG2 cells.
FXR signalling in ileum biopsies of humans positively correlates with body mass index.
results suggest that hypothyroidism induces a moderate non-alcoholic steatohepatitis, alllowing the hepatic regeneration. The FXRalpha may be involved in the development of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis in hypothyroid subjects.
FXR is expressed in the ovary, in all regions of the oviduct, and all portions of the vagina of rabbits.
Review of the role of an intestinal microbiota-farnesoid X receptor axis in modulating metabolic disease.
Study shows that experimental chronic jet (show FBXL15 ELISA Kits) lag (show STMN1 ELISA Kits) induces persistent deregulation of liver gene expression and metabolism, culminating in the development of hepatocellular carcinoma. The bile acid receptor FXR and xenobiotic receptor (show NR1I3 ELISA Kits) CAR play an important role in this process.
Vertical sleeve gastrectomy induces a weight loss in obese mice by increasing IFN-gamma (show IFNG ELISA Kits) secretion in mesenteric lymph nodes, which then increases the FXR expression in the liver and small intestine.
hPCLS respond to OCA treatment by upregulating well-known FXR target genes, demonstrating its suitability to study FXR-mediated gene regulation.
the structural features that discriminate the selective binding of FXR by avermectin analogues may provide a unique safe approach to design drugs targeting FXR signaling.
FXR can exert its hepatoprotective functions by controlling inflammation and mitochondrial functions, possibly involving an FXR-PPAR delta (show PPARD ELISA Kits) cross-talk
Activated farnesoid X receptor attenuates apoptosis and liver injury in autoimmune hepatitis.
FXR activation maintains endogenous glutathione homeostasis and protects the kidney in uninephrectomized mice from obesity-induced injury
alterations in bile acid composition may have contributed to the observed disturbance in FXR-mediated signalling pathways in short bowel syndrome-associated liver disease
FXR splice variant has a dominant positive effect on wild type FXR.
In conclusion, PXR (show NR1I2 ELISA Kits) and FXR both responded to ligands that activated their human orthologs, and some of the alternatively spliced variants significantly altered PXR (show NR1I2 ELISA Kits) and FXR transactivation at in vivo expression levels.
This gene encodes a ligand-activated transcription factor, which shares structural features in common with nuclear hormone receptor family, such as a DNA-binding domain that targets the receptor to specific DNA sequences, and a ligand-binding domain, which interacts directly with the ligand and contains a ligand-dependent transcriptional activation domain. This protein functions as a receptor for bile acids, and when bound to bile acids, regulates the expression of genes involved in bile acid synthesis and transport. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described for this gene.

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: This is the same product as the Serial Enabled LCD Kit. The difference is this version comes in fancy clamshell packaging meant for our distributors that need it. Regular customers are welcome to order, but we want to limit the amount of extra packaging finding its way into the trash heap.
Calling this the "Serial Enabled LCD Kit" doesn't do justice to how cool it actually is. After you've assembled this all-PTH kit, you'll be left with a fully Arduino-compatible development board that just happens to have a white on black 16x2 display built-in.
Turns out the ATMega328 is pretty far over-spec for just controlling a parallel LCD so there's a lot of horsepower left over to do whatever else needs to be done. We've broken out all of the unused GPIO pins to 0.1" headers on one side of the board, making this more than just a great kit for beginner soldering but also an awesome development tool for experienced programmers.
In order to upload new code to the LCD Kit via bootloader you'll need an FTDI Basic Breakout and have the Board setting in Arduino on 'Arduino Duemilanove w/ ATmega328.' The uC comes pre-programmed with the SerialLCD firmware on top of the bootloader, so if you just want to use it as a serial-enabled LCD, you won't need to do any programming.
Check the github page below for instructions on how to use the kit. The source code is also hosted over there, if you want to take a look.

fab room really close to all shop and nightlife we had a great time
Over priced
The hotel seemed to be right in the heart of where people were getting drunk so if you're staying for a night out it's the right place but be prepared for bedlam outside.
I thought the room would be much nicer considering how much I spent. Really cheap quality and the breakfast was even included even though I spent a lot. Really disappointed

Really good hotel in the centre of Cardiff.
Don't judge the interior by the view outside although that does need a clean up. Good standard of accommodation. Hope the lift gets fixed soon though.

First and last time!
Stayed in this hotel as was a last minute booking.
Arrived at the hotel everything looked nice untill we got to the room. The floors were sticky the walls were dirty. There was a bright flashing light in the room which kept us awake and the curtains were awful. When having a shower it wouldn't turn off we had to force it. And lastly the tv didn't work. Overall I won't be staying here again!

Modeling the power of the aging human eye
Smith, George, Atchison, David A., & Pierscionek, Barbara K. (1992) Modeling the power of the aging human eye. Journal of the Optical Society of America A: Optics and Image Science, 9(12), pp. 2111-2117.
A hypothesis is presented that may explain why the aging eye does not become myopic with age. The power of the eye lens is predicted with a modeling approach to determine how the form of the refractive-index gradient within the lens can change to maintain a constant power in spite of age-related curvature increase. Methods used include published age-dependent data on the optical parameters of the eye, a mathematical model of the lens based on elliptical isoindicial contours, and a refractive-index profile that can be expressed as a power series in the distance from the lens center. The kinds of change in profile required the eye from becoming myopic as its lens grows are shown.

As noted by others, a morbid and irrational fear of guns is seldom prone to logic. I have two people in my life with the same issue and one of them will never change his mind. Ever.
The other was not at all interested in the logic of protection or safe carry or constitutional rights.....none of it. Inviting her to the range was also a no-go. What I finally had success with was taking the Eddie Eagle approach. We are two grown people and cannot control every aspect of our lives, I reasoned. You may be near a gun and not even know it, but if you ARE aware, for your own safety you can at least determine to Stop, Don't touch it, Leave the area, and call an adult. (Of course we already are adults, but you get the idea.) I actually have a copy of the EE program and I just took that slow approach to give her some comfort.
After about two months (during which time, I did not cease my regular carry at all....I just didn't tell her about it), I asked if she was interested in some more safety instruction. Not shooting, mind you....just education about how to be safe and keep a gun safe. I then bought her a 4 hour course at my local range that is simply a handgun safety class. There is no shooting, just instruction about the various types of guns and how they work, etc. It cost me $40 and it was worth it. She finally found some peace with the idea that a gun is just a tool, like a power drill; if you don't touch it, there is no danger.
Finally some level of relaxation. She will never be a shooter. That's OK. But she has more confidence about the tools and thanked me for not being a jerk and trying to give her a 'macho lesson' on gun handling. She then told me of her brothers who, growing up, had done exactly that, and that was the basis for her fear in the first place.
Don't think this would work for everyone but it taught ME something about patience, that's for sure.

Put in a 05 transmission in about 3 months ago because the old one had a bad tailshaft bearing and I got a good deal on the 05. Put in a new clutch and flywheel at the same time (the old trans. still had original clutch and flywheel). Other than timing belts and AC expansion valve, havent had any major problems. Car still runs great. It has minor issues every once in a while, but nothing I can't repair myself.

CNC Machine Outlets
read more here There's a wide variety of CNC device stores that happen to be readily available across the state. A few of the shops concentrate on the kind of function that they do. Some cater extra to the Aerospace Sector, some to the Automotive Industry and many for the extra delicate get the job done of part building, home furnishings making and the like.
In case you wish a specific type of shop, chances are it is accessible somewhere within the earth. The provision with the CNC machine technological innovation has authorized quite a few organizations to develop and to supply expert services that they wouldn't be capable of with out it. Precise, multiple cuts with confined waste are merely two from the positive aspects that CNC equipment retailers working experience.
Does one require a thing designed which has an precision of twenty millionths? Perfectly, there are actually retailers which have the knowledge, the knowledge and the capability that could do this. The technological know-how that's available together with the CNC equipment is barely as good as the programmers as well as operators. The programmers ought to contain the capacity to produce the required plans that permits the equipment to show out this type of precision. Conversely, the operator have to placement the fabric and cargo the necessary resources that could help the machine to supply this sort of accuracy in addition.
CNC machine stores use a large amount of dollars invested into your variety of tools that they employ; on the other hand, the shop can operate on just a few employees, which allows to save them funds inside the payroll section. The stores are usually temperature managed, very cleanse and element oriented. These managed environments are necessary for ideal general performance of those higher tech equipment.
Safety problems and challenges really should nevertheless be taken critically, despite the fact that these equipment are self contained which restrictions the level of sounds and particles that is certainly manufactured; nonetheless, incidents can constantly materialize and it really is highly recommended that operators and any one else that's in the shop put on basic safety goggles and earplugs at the extremely the very least. Other protection actions ought to be followed for every the corporation policies.
CNC machines are state-of-the-art devices that needs the CNC device shops to rent quality, professional CNC equipment programmers and operators. The programmers typically have a desk career, will barely get filthy and they are liable for writing this system that is certainly demanded for that device to operate competently and properly. At the time small slip-up from the system could potentially cause the device to generate an inadequate products.
The CNC operator actually will work hands on using the machine. Even though CNC devices function by by themselves, somebody still has got to download the computer software plan that the machine takes advantage of for it to operate, have the tools the machine will use for that particular merchandise set up and to properly placement the fabric to ensure the equipment will start out within the correct position and after that certainly, anyone needs to push the start button.
The CNC device shop can provide its customers a unique, state-of -the-art support like no other shop can offer, except they may have precisely the same form of technological know-how.

Picture documents
Obscene pictures might be either checked into the PC from photos or magazines, created with an advanced camera, or an edge from a video before being transferring onto an explicit site. The JPEG arrangement is a standout amongst the most widely recognized configuration for these pictures. Another configuration is GIF which may give an energized picture where the general population in the photo move. It frequently goes on for one moment or two then reruns (rehashes) uncertainly. On the off chance that the position of the items in the last edge is about the same as the primary edge, there is the figment of consistent activity.
Video documents and spilling video
Obscene video clasps might be circulated in various organizations, including MPEG, WMV, and QuickTime. All the more as of late VCD and DVD picture documents permit dispersion of entire VCDs and DVDs. Numerous business porn destinations exist that permit one to see explicit gushing video. As of late (mid-2006), some Internet explicit entertainment destinations have started offering High Definition Video content in WMV HD design.
Since mid-2006, publicizing upheld free obscene video facilitating administration sites in light of the YouTube idea have showed up. Alluded to as Porn 2.0, these destinations by and large utilize Flash innovation to appropriate recordings that were transferred by clients; these incorporate client created content and in addition scenes from business porn films and publicizing cuts from obscene sites.
Another configuration of grown-up substance that developed with the appearance of the Internet is live webcams. Webcam substance can by and large be separated into two classifications: bunch indicates offered to individuals from a grown-up paysite, and 1-on-1 private sessions normally sold on a compensation for every perspective premise. Right now the most well known video group for spilling live webcams is Flash Video FLV.
Server-based webcam sex indicates goad one of a kind universal financial aspects: grown-up models in different nations perform live webcam appears and talk for customers in well-off nations. This sort of action is now and then intervened by organizations which will set up sites and oversee funds. They may look after "office" space for the models to perform from, or they give the interface to models to work at home, with their own PC with webcam.

should I carpet my stairs to basement with berber?
I've read a lot about it. I understand that the olefin layer that binds the loops together loses its memory over time and sags when stepped on in the same location. What more should I consider before using berber to carpet stairs?
if durability is the most concern then get yourself a Nylon Berber.
Small tight loops is best.
Most "berbers" are made of polypropylene, a type of plastic, and therefore does not provide any potential for mould. That's why it is recommended in basements - and not everywhere. For water-based soils, it cleans relatively easily but for oil-based soils it's hard to clean. Polypropylene repels water but absorbs oils, so watch out what you spill. The weave of a berber being tight loops makes hot water extraction tough to use to clean it because of the reduced airflow up the vacuum hose...
And as already pointed out, its resilience isn't the best.

PENNS MANOR: Directors name interim superintendent
KENWOOD — The Penns Manor Area school directors have asked Principal Daren Johnston to stand at the district's helm while it searches for a new superintendent.
At a meeting Thursday, the board appointed Johnston as interim superintendent on an 8-0 vote.
"I appreciate the confidence that you, the school board, have in appointing me acting superintendent," Johnston told the board following the vote.
He is taking over for Thomas "T.J." Kakabar, who resigned last month for the superintendent's job in the Conemaugh Township Area School District in Somerset County. Kakabar lives in Cambria County, and the move put him closer to home.
Kakabar had been with Penns Manor Area for a little more than seven years.
Johnston, 44, has served as the district's high school principal since the fall of 2004. A Marion Center Area graduate, he holds a master's degree from Indiana University of Pennsylvania. He is pursuing his superintendent's certification through Shippensburg University of Pennsylvania.
The board set his annualized salary at $110,000.
Calling Johnston a solid leader who is engaged with the community, board President Robert Packer said the district is fortunate to have him step into the role.
Packer also said the board believes they will be able to work well with Johnston.
"His values really parallel those of the board."
The search for a permanent replacement hasn't yet begun, and Packer said that work is to begin later this year. However, it very well could be that the district has already found its man for the job — Johnston is to be a candidate, Packer said.
He added that it is a seller's market right now for public school superintendents.
"There's not a big pool of candidates," he said.
With Johnston temporarily stepping into the superintendent's role, the board intends to name an interim high school principal. Packer said the board might appoint a candidate for that job next month.

German Shepherd Sick
My 2 year old german shepherd won't eat, he's lost a lot of weight and he's not walking with his back legs very good. any chance someone knows the problem? He seem like he is in pain and i just want to know what the problem is. I have no money for a vet visit please help
You have to see a vet. There are things like 'care credit' where you can pay the bill off over time. Have you tried that?
It looks like several places here to get help
did your pup injure her/himself ? was this after exercise ? sorry, you need to find a way to get to a vet.
I agree, he needs to be seen by a vet and as soon as possible.

Concealed Weapons Debate
Some North Carolina lawmakers want to give concealed weapon permit holders more places to carry or store their pistols. The House will debate a Republican-backed measure endorsed by gun-rights groups, but strongly opposed by university leaders. A provision of the bill would allow permit-holders to store guns in locked cars on college campuses.

How Far Over Can You Punch Out A Sbc
I have a block that is .30 over. I would like to use this - how far can you go without imposing any probllems. I know you can go as far as 60 but many machinists want an unhoned block to work with. If I use this .30 over block, what am I up against?????
Depends largely the amount of power you ant to make. .060 is safe for most mild street stuff. You need walls that sonic at .150 or better.
want to make around 450hp, 450tq
what your up against is what shape is the bore now in? the machinist should be able to tell you. Most small block`s can go over safely to .060 over, but if you plan on going over more it would be wise to have it sonic checked. Last I hear .080 over has become common practice, but I`d recommend sonic checking first.
Don`t have your block bored more than needed, as boring it bigger doesn`t help power output much.
if you desire big stroke is the way to go. they make cranks up to a 454 sbc
If it was me, I'd go .040, if possible. Then you have the option of going .060, if you wear it out, or break something.
My question is - do the walls get too thin when you exceed .30? I know you can go to .60 but COULD you pose a problem if you got .40?
but you can get a 450HP 350sbc whitout trouble at .30...
boring doesn't make power and it only yields a few extra cubes. Its not worth the effort or cost. The only time boring is worthwhile (of course) is when the bores are in need of it, and then only enough to clean them up. Why go more than you have to? All its going to do is cost you money in the long run when you're trying to rebuild the thing again and find out you need a new block this time.
I have no iontentions of making the bore as big as I can. The reason for my concern is that I have a .30 block handy for a 383 build project. When I had told my machinest of what I have he was not exactly happy about it. He said that if he has to, depending on the condition of the cylineder walls he may have to push it to .60. Even though you can go to .60 he said he does not like to do that - he takes a conservative approach. Sooo i was wondering is he being overly conservative or not!?!?
They would'nt be making and selling 0.060" oversized pistons if block weakening was a major issue. Your machinist probably has easy and cheap access to virgin blocks thru his contacts for when he needs one, and therefore could not understand why someone would want to go 60 thou over. I guess because it's because you're not made of money right? It's also probably an ethical issue for machinists and he's probably just protecting his own reputation. If you're really worried you can always pour block hardening compound into the water jackets. The piston manufacturers would have feed back records on going 0.60" over and you can always give them a call for a different point of view.
Being in the trade you soon predict the verdicts when you send something out. Every time we sent radiators to specialists for a flush we get a reply that the cores have cancer and require a recore. But after they patch up the old cores due to the customers lack of funds the radiators miraculously go on to out last the car! The world's full of drama queens.
One thing we haven't discussed is core shift. If yours is way out then your machinist may have cause to balk.
That was one of the things that he had mentioned - he said IF thats is the case it could make things more difficult.
Nobody hear can answer that question. You need to load the block in question up and take it to the machine shop. He can check the block out and tell you if it's any good. If it is at .030 now, the next step would be .040 and the .060. He will be able to tell how much is needed when he checks the block out.
I have a .060 overbore in my blown 388ci SBC no problems yet. I rana .040 over 385 for years no problem. It all depends on the block you have. Since they are cast and some have core shift, not all blocks are created equal. If you have a good casting going .040 or .060 over is not an issue.
