Doc Rivers has three years left on his current contract with the Boston Celtics, but following the team's first-round ouster in the 2013 NBA playoffs, it appears he's uncertain about his future. When asked if he would be back in Boston for the 2013-14 season Rivers said, "I don't know." That's not a good sign for the Celtics, who continue to get older and need the force of Rivers' personality to help lure players to town. Rivers continued: "I mean, I don't know that right now. I can't make that decision now. I'm under contract, and we'll see. I mean, honestly, I just can't even think about that right now, so I don't know." He later added that he isn't leaning towards not returning, he just needs time to decompress from the current season evaluate things. Still, the fact that he didn't give a definitive "yes" when asked if he's returning should concern Celtics fans. On Tuesday, the Boston Globe reported that Celtics president of basketball operations Danny Ainge was shocked that anyone was questioning whether or not Rivers would be back. Ainge said, "from all I know, Doc will be back." It sounds like Ainge and Rivers need to sit down and have a talk about his future. If forced to guess, I'd say Rivers will be back, but the Celtics really need to make a real effort to get younger. It was painfully obvious this season that the team was old and slow and needed some serious young help. *Originally posted on Rumors and Rants The post Doc Rivers returning to the Boston Celtics? appeared first on Midwest Sports Fans.

Hey guys first post here. I'm new to the Supermoto world but I've been involved in Roadracing and MX for a while now. I see there are alot of mixed feelings about the two different sizes of front wheels. I'm in the process of converting over a 08 CRF 450 and I'm looking at buying some wheels but I was hoping some of you experienced supermoto guys/gals could tell me the Pros and Cons to the different sized wheels.
I will be using the SM for manily Roadracing at bigger tracks and some go-kart stuff here and there.
If there is already a sticky or thread on this I apologize about no searching hard enough to find it.

Policy for the Use of Human Subjects in Research
Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo is committed to the protection of human subjects in research. To assist with this goal, the University has designated a Human Subjects Committee (also called Institutional Review Board, or IRB) to review proposals for research involving human subjects. The Committee evaluates the research only in terms of its compliance with ethical standards regarding the treatment of subjects. While individual researchers are ultimately responsible for their practices, the Committee's review is designed to provide objective input as an additional protection for the subjects. In addition, the independent review by the Committee is of benefit to those who could be held accountable for the research practices -- the researchers and the University.
Applicability of this Policy*
All institutions at which research involving human subjects is carried out are required by law to have an institutional review board (IRB) to oversee those projects when the research is supported by a federal agency. It should be noted that investigators who will carry out federally funded research involving human subjects that is not "exempt" from review under federal guidelines, are required to receive authorized training in the ethical principles and procedures for carrying out such research. Federal funds will not be awarded without proof of this training. Training authorized by the Office of Human Research Protections (OHRP) is available online at the Federal training website. Even if the research is not federally funded, however, it is Cal Poly's policy that a review of compliance with ethical guidelines be completed on all research involving human subjects conducted at Cal Poly. Similarly, reviews must be done of all off-campus research on human subjects carried out by Cal Poly faculty, staff, and students when they are conducting the research as an aspect of their roles as faculty, staff, or students of the University. The Committee is not responsible for reviewing research on human subjects that is conducted by a University employee or student as a function of their independent consulting work or their work with another institution.
In accordance with federal guidelines for the protection of human subjects, research involving human subjects is defined as any systematic investigation of living human subjects or human materials that is designed to develop or contribute to generalizable knowledge. Human subjects research which requires review by the Committee includes faculty research, master's theses, and senior projects as well as research conducted on campus by parties not directly affiliated with the University. While the ethical principles for research are often applicable to classroom activities, demonstrations, and assignments, the Human Subjects Committee does not review classroom activities unless data will be collected and used in a systematic investigation.
Committee Composition
The Human Subjects Committee members and chair are appointed by the Dean of Research. The members will include representatives from a range of campus departments involved in human subjects research. Consistent with federal guidelines for IRB membership, the Committee will also include at least one member not affiliated with the University (and having no close relatives affiliated with the University), at least one non-scientist, and individuals of various races, cultural backgrounds, and genders. A list of current Committee members is available from the Dean's Office, Bldg. 38, Rm. 154; (805) 756-1508. Nonmembers may be consulted if additional expertise is deemed useful in evaluating a research proposal; however, nonmembers will not have a vote regarding the approval of the project. Committee members are responsible for removing themselves from reviews of projects for which they may have a conflict of interest (e.g., when he or she is an investigator or advisor for the research).
Types of Human Subjects Review
Some forms of research are considered exempt from further review, others may be given an expedited review, and the remainder are subject to full review. Even when a project falls into one of the categories for exempt status (listed below), researchers are still expected to submit an approval form and a brief research protocol for confirmation of the exempt status to the Dean of Research or the Chair of the Human Subjects Committee via Debbie Hart (Office of Research and Economic Development, (805) 756-1508, firstname.lastname@example.com). Confirmation of exempt status should be received by the researcher prior to initiating the research.
The following categories are typically considered exempt from further review:
- Research conducted in educational settings involving normal educational practices, such as research on instructional strategies, curricula, or classroom management methods;
- Research involving the use of educational tests (cognitive, diagnostic, aptitude, achievement), survey or interview procedures, or observation of public behavior, provided (1) information is recorded in such a way that human subjects cannot be identified, directly or through identifiers, (2) any disclosure of the subjects' responses outside the research could not place the subject at risk of criminal or civil liability or be damaging to the subjects' financial standing, employability, or reputation, and (3) the topic of the research does not involve a very sensitive or emotional issue (e.g., personal experience with family violence, HIV, or sexual assault). Research involving educational tests, survey or interview procedures, or observation of public behavior may be considered exempt even if the provisions (1) through (3) listed above have not all been met if the subjects are elected or appointed officials or candidates for public office, or if federal statutes require without exception that the confidentiality of the personally identifiable information will be maintained throughout the research and thereafter;
- Research involving the study of existing data, documents, records, or pathological or diagnostic specimens, if these sources are publicly available or the information is recorded in such a way that subjects cannot be identified directly or through identifiers;
- Research and demonstration projects designed to study public benefit or service programs or changes or alternatives to those programs; and
- Taste and food quality evaluation and consumer acceptance studies, provided wholesome foods are consumed that have no additives or include a food ingredient, agricultural chemical, or environmental contaminant at or below the level and for a use found to be safe by the Food and Drug Administration or approved by the Environmental Protection Agency or the Food Safety and Inspection Service of the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
Research proposals may be given an expedited review if the procedures used involve no more than minimal risk. Minimal risk is involved when the probability and magnitude of anticipated harm or discomfort are not greater in and of themselves than those ordinarily encountered in daily life or during the performance of routine physical or psychological examinations or tests. Examples of research classified as minimal risk in the federal guidelines include: voice recordings of speech defects, moderate exercise by healthy volunteers, research on individual or group behavior or characteristics in which stress to subjects is not involved and the researcher does not manipulate subjects' behavior, and noninvasive procedures such as weighing and testing of sensory acuity.
An expedited review will be conducted by a subcommittee of the full Human Subjects Committee. The subcommittee for each expedited review will typically consist of the Human Subjects Committee Chair, one Committee member with expertise related to the proposed research topic, and one member whose area of expertise is in a discipline other than that of the researchers.
Research projects involving greater than minimal risk to subjects (e.g., studies on the effects of stimulus deprivation, experimental drugs, or physical activities with significant risk of serious injury) will be subject to a full review by the Human Subjects Committee as a whole.
The Review Process**
The first step a researcher should take to request approval for a research project with human subjects is to obtain and carefully read copies of the Human Subjects Committee's submission materials, which include: (a) an approval form, (b) a research protocol, (c) a sample consent form protocol, and (d) the Cal Poly Policy for the Use of Human Subjects in Research. The submission procedures, which are outlined in detail below, are slightly different for projects considered exempt from further review, than for those classified as needing an expedited or a full review. Researchers who are uncertain as to whether their project would be categorized as exempt, as opposed to needing either an expedited or a full review, should feel free to consult with the Chair of the Human Subjects Committee or the Dean of Research prior to submitting the research proposal.
In fact, consultations with the HSC Chair or the Dean are encouraged for clarification of any aspect of the review process, both prior to initiating a review and during the review. Advance consultations can often reduce the amount of time needed for the researcher to prepare the submission materials as well as the time for a proposal to receive approval. HSC submission materials are available both from Dean of Research, Bldg. 38, Rm. 154, (805) 756-1508; and from the Chair of the Human Subjects Committee. The name and location of the current HSC Chair can be obtained from the Dean's office.
Proposals for human subjects research that the researcher believes are exempt from further review should be submitted to either the Dean of Research or the Chair of the Human Subjects Committee via Debbie Hart (Office of Research and Economic Development, Bldg. 38, Room 154, firstname.lastname@example.com). Please note that the HSC Chair will typically not be available to review projects during academic breaks and summer quarter; at those times, researchers should submit proposals to the Dean. Only one copy of the HSC approval form and a brief research protocol (including informed consent materials) need to be submitted if you are applying for exempt status as typically only one member of the Committee will need to review the proposal. Researchers should generally allow one to two weeks to receive confirmation of exempt status, although feedback can often be provided within a shorter amount of time if needed and requested.
Proposals for which the researcher anticipates an expedited or a full review should be submitted to the HSC Chair via Debbie Hart (Office of Research and Economic Development, Bldg. 38, Room 154, (805) 756-1508, firstname.lastname@example.com). The submission for an expedited or full review should include a fully completed HSC approval form and a research protocol, including an informed consent form. Every attempt will be made to provide feedback to the researchers as soon as possible but typically no more than two to four weeks following receipt of the submission for expedited reviews. Full reviews may require additional time, a month or longer, to provide the researcher with a response from the Committee. Researchers should not expect to have proposals reviewed by the HSC during finals week, holidays, or quarter breaks. Subject recruitment and data collection should not be initiated prior to obtaining approval from the Human Subjects Committee. The Committee reserves the option of withdrawing approval of a project if circumstances warrant, for example, if the research procedures are found to produce greater risk of harm than previously anticipated. The researcher must promptly report to the HSC Chair or the Dean of Research any alterations in their materials or procedures not addressed in their initial submission materials as well as any unforeseen problems or complaints regarding the research project.
Following the review of the researcher's materials, the Committee may approve the project, deny approval, or request specific clarifications or changes in order for the project to fully comply with ethical guidelines. If clarifications or changes have been recommended, once the Committee receives written verification from the researcher that the clarifications or changes have been made, approval will be granted. Proposals may only be denied by a majority vote of a quorum of the full Committee. (A quorum is defined as a majority of the total membership.) More specifically, if an expedited review committee does not approve a project, the researcher will be notified, and, unless the researcher chooses to withdraw the proposal, it will then be reviewed and voted on by the full committee. A researcher is welcome to submit additional information to clarify the planned research practices at any point during the review process and may request to meet with the HSC Chair, the Dean, or the Committee to discuss the decision on the research proposal.
Overview of the Ethical Principles
Cal Poly's ethical guidelines for the use of human subjects in research are based on the principles and procedures outlined in the Federal Policy for the Protection of Human Subjects and the Office of Human Research Protections (OHRP) Institutional Review Board (IRB) Guidance. The OHRP IRB Guidebook provides a detailed interpretation and discussion of the Federal Policy guidelines. The Federal Policy provides a common policy to be implemented across a broad spectrum of federal agencies including the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, the Environmental Protection Agency, the Consumer Product Safety Commission, the National Science Foundation, and the Departments of Agriculture, Energy, Education, Justice, Defense, Housing and Urban Development, and Health and Human Services. Cal Poly's policy is similarly intended to apply to the range of disciplines represented on campus while at the same time acknowledging the value of the ethical guidelines of individual disciplines' professional associations (e.g., the American Medical Association, the American Psychological Association, the American College of Sports Medicine, the American Association on Mental Deficiencies). Should a specific circumstance not be fully addressed by the Cal Poly policy, the Federal Policy and the OHRP IRB Guidebook will provide the guidelines for the Committee's decision-making. The Federal Policy will be the primary reference for the review of federally funded research.
The Federal Policy and Cal Poly's guidelines draw heavily on the three basic ethical principles laid out in the Belmont Report, a 1979 report of the National Commission for the Protection of Human Subjects of Biomedical and Behavioral Research. These three basic principles are: respect for persons, beneficence, and justice. Respect for persons entails treating individuals as autonomous agents who enter into research voluntarily and with adequate information (i.e., informed consent). Those with diminished autonomy, such as children, prisoners, and individuals who are in some way incapacitated, have a right to be protected. The second basic principle, beneficence, refers to the obligation to secure the well-being of research subjects. Possible benefits should be maximized, while possible harms should be minimized. The final principle explicated in the Belmont Report is that of justice. Justice implies that both risks and benefits of research should be distributed equally across various groups. For example, the burden of serving in research should not largely fall on certain groups such as the poor or the imprisoned, while others primarily benefit from the knowledge gained from the research.
Copies of the Belmont Report, the Federal Policy, and the OHRP IRB Guidebook are available in the Office of the Dean of Research, Bldg. 38, Rm. 154; (805) 756-1508.
Specific Ethical Criteria
Consistent with the principles outlined in the Belmont Report, the Federal Policy, and the OHRP IRB Guidebook, the following criteria will be used to evaluate research proposals at Cal Poly:
- Risks to subjects are minimized. Exposure of subjects to unnecessary risks is avoided, and precautions, safeguards, and alternatives are utilized to reduce the probability of harm and limit its severity or duration. An example of an appropriate safeguard is the presence of medically trained personnel during the administration of physical endurance tests. While a degree of risk may be unavoidable in some research, the risks that are present must be reasonable in relation to anticipated benefits of the research, including possible direct benefits to the subjects and the general benefits of the knowledge that may be gained from the research. An adequate research design is implemented to ensure that the results will be meaningful and, therefore, of potential benefit to increasing knowledge. Regarding studies of the direct benefit to subjects of an intervention or treatment method, investigators should offer the treatment or intervention to members of control groups if and when it has been found to produce beneficial results. Similarly, members of groups receiving alternative treatments that are determined to be less effective should be offered the more beneficial treatment as well.
The risks that must be identified and addressed include: (a) physical harm (e.g., pain, discomfort, injury, side-effects of drugs, dizziness), (b) psychological harm (e.g., stress, guilt, depression, loss of self-esteem, confusion, embarrassment), (c) social harm (e.g., the possible stigmatizing effects of diagnostic labels such as "delinquent" or "schizophrenic"), and (d) economic harm (e.g., threats to employment if a subject's involvement in research on HIV carriers or alcohol abusers were revealed). An additional risk involving social, economic, and/or psychological harm could result from having subjects reveal illegal activities. Some of the social and economic risks may be adequately addressed by appropriate procedures for maintaining confidentiality or anonymity. When relevant, referrals for assistance (e.g., counseling or medical treatment) or other appropriate efforts must be made to attempt to ameliorate any type of harm or distress that might be brought on, even in part, by the research.
- Selection of subjects is equitable considering the purpose of the research and the special needs of vulnerable populations. Equitable selection is intended to ensure that the burdens and benefits of research are fairly distributed. Researchers should exercise caution regarding the use of certain groups of subjects who are easily available, in a compromised position, or susceptible to manipulation. Voluntariness of participation could be diminished for prisoners or for students, patients, or employees of researchers, given that there may be an implied, if not overt, indication that grades, employment status, or treatment may be dependent on the individuals' willingness to participate in research. On the other hand, competent adults should not be overprotected and, thereby, excluded from research in which they might wish to participate. Thus, it should be especially clear in research proposals involving easily available subjects or those in a potentially compromised position, that appropriate measures are taken to ensure that their participation is not coerced in any direct or indirect manner. For example, if students constitute the subject pool, extra credit should only be offered for participation in research if at least one other equally attractive option for obtaining extra credit is also offered. Participation as a subject of research may not be a course requirement. In addition, while incentives for participation such as a few extra credit points or small monetary payments are generally allowable with appropriate informed consent, very large inducements may be inappropriate as they could be coercive, blinding prospective subjects to potential risks and reducing the voluntariness of their participation. In studies of interventions for diseases or disorders to which women, minorities, or other specific groups might be susceptible, it is especially important that they not be underrepresented as subjects. In other situations, however, reseachers may need to take steps (e.g., screening interviews or questionnaires) to exclude certain groups of potential subjects if those individuals might be particularly vulnerable to the procedures implemented (e.g., pregnant women in studies of the effects of drugs or individuals with anorexic tendencies in weight loss studies). In the case of studies involving physical exercise, researchers should follow the health screening procedures and other recommendations provided in the current edition of Guidelines for Exercise Testing and Prescription by the American College of Sports Medicine. It is recognized that some studies obviously require selecting prospective subjects only from specific groups that are relevant to the purpose of the study (e.g., children with learning disabilities in a study of the effectiveness of an educational intervention for such children).
- Informed consent is sought from every prospective subject or the prospective subject's legally authorized representative. A legally authorized representative (e.g., a parent or guardian) must provide consent for children under the age of 18 or for individuals with diminished capacity to give their own consent (e.g., developmentally delayed adults). Informed consent should ensure that potential subjects or their legally authorized representatives understand the nature of the study and can knowledgeably and voluntarily decide whether or not to participate. Informed consent may not contain exculpatory language that attempts to waive the subject's or representative's legal rights or to release the investigator, research sponsor, or the institution from liability for negligence.
Section 46.116 of the Federal Policy lists the basic elements that must be included in each informed consent statement. These basic elements are concisely listed in the Guidelines for Human Subjects Research Protocols. Section 46.116 also contains additional elements that may be appropriate to include in informed consent statements in some studies, as well as a brief discussion of exceptions to the need to obtain informed consent or to include all of the basic elements of consent (e.g., a full disclosure of the nature and purpose of the study). Full disclosure of the purpose of the study is not required at the onset of the subject's participation in studies with no more than minimal risk if complete disclosure would render the findings of the research invalid. For example, a researcher could justifiably fail to inform subjects that their attention span will be assessed as a function of the type of background music being played, given that that information could itself produce changes in the subjects' behavior (e.g., greater attempts to focus their attention in spite of distracting music). Deception (e.g., telling students their problem-solving ability will be tested when, in fact, they are being observed regarding their competitiveness), is similarly allowable in research of no more than minimal risk when the deception is methodologically necessary to test the desired hypotheses. In cases of deception or a lack of full disclosure, subjects must be subsequently debriefed regarding this information. An example of an allowable exception to the need to obtain informed consent is research involving only nonintrusive naturalistic observations of public behavior in which data are recorded in such a way that observed individuals cannot be identified.
The informed consent should generally be documented in a written and signed consent form containing the appropriate elements of informed consent. Each potential subject or legal representative should be given adequate time to read the consent form before being asked to sign it. The consent form should be written in language easily understandable to the prospective subject or legal representative. This implies that consent forms should be available in an appropriate language other than English for prospective subjects or legal representatives not fluent in English. It also implies that technical jargon, which may be familiar to the researcher but not necessarily to others, should be avoided or explained in the consent form. A signed consent form may be waived if (a) the only record linking the subject and the data would be the consent form and the principal risk to the subject would be harm that could result from a breach of confidentiality, and (b) no more than minimal risk is involved and the study involves no procedures for which written consent is normally required outside of the research context.
- When appropriate, plans are included for adequately monitoring the data to ensure the safety of the subjects. Researchers are required to monitor their procedures carefully throughout the data collection process to reevaluate the risks to human subjects. If the risks are determined to be greater than initially predicted (e.g., an exercise protocol results in dangerous increases in heart rate), the Human Subjects Committee Chair or the Dean of Research and Graduate Programs should immediately be notified and prompt, appropriate steps should be taken to reduce the risks, obtain additional informed consent, and/or discontinue the procedures.
- The privacy of subjects and confidentiality of data are adequately protected. Privacy refers to the subject's right to have control over the extent, timing, and circumstances of sharing him- or herself with others. Privacy is typically protected by informed consent which ensures that subjects have voluntarily agreed to share themselves with others. More complex privacy issues are involved in studies that use private records (such as medical records) to identify prospective subjects and in some observational studies (e.g., those in "quasi-public" places such as hospital emergency rooms). Individuals conducting research of this nature should consult the discussion of such privacy issues in Part 3 of Chapter 3 in the OHRP IRB Guidebook, available in the Dean's Office, Bldg. 38, Rm. 154; (805) 756-1508.
Maintaining confidentiality requires that researchers take steps to ensure that the information revealed by the subject is not divulged to others without the subject's permission. Information is regarded as confidential when the researcher could identify which data are associated with an individual subject but agrees not to reveal this information to others. Appropriate measures to achieve confidentiality include removing face sheets containing identifying information from questionnaires, substituting code numbers for names or other identifiers, limiting the number of individuals with access to data containing identifiers, and storing data in locked cabinets. If codes are used and a list matching the codes with the identity of the subjects is maintained, the list must be kept in a secure location separate from the data. Anonymity of subjects' responses is the most certain method of ensuring that the identity of a subject will not be associated with his or her data. When data are collected anonymously, even the researchers have no means by which they could identify which data belong to which subjects.
- Additional safeguards have been implemented to protect the rights and welfare of special classes of subjects, particularly subjects who might be vulnerable to undue influence or coercion (e.g., children, prisoners, mentally disabled persons, economically or educationally disadvantaged persons). One safeguard applicable to children and mentally disabled persons is the requirement of obtaining the informed consent of a legal representative of the prospective subject. The legal representative must be a competent adult whose primary concern in the research situation is the best interests of the prospective subject who is the representative's ward. Even when a legal representative gives informed consent for a ward to take part in a research project, the individual subject/ward must still give assent, or agreement, to participate as well.
When applicable, researchers should consult Chapter 6 of the OHRP IRB Guidebook for specific considerations regarding studies of the following groups: fetuses, pregnant women, children and minors, cognitively impaired persons, prisoners, traumatized and comatose patients, terminally ill patients, elderly/aged persons, minorities, students, employees, and individuals in countries other than the United States.
- Adequate debriefing of subjects regarding the purpose of the study and any deception involved in the procedures is included. Subjects are offered a method of obtaining a summary of the research findings when available. For example, all subjects may be given a copy of the informed consent form which includes the name, business phone number, and business address of the researcher or advisor for the project and an invitation for interested subjects to contact that individual when it is expected that the results will be available. Alternatively, a summary of the results might be posted in a location accessible to the subjects, such as an information bulletin board in a gym at which athletes had participated in research on an exercise program. Such summaries, as well as other reports of findings, should, of course, refer to no subjects by name or other information that would indicate individuals' identities.

Deals of the day- Mergers and acquisitions
(Adds Royal Dutch Shell, Norfolk Southern Corp, FedEx and others)
Jan 8 (Reuters) - The following bids, mergers, acquisitions and disposals were reported by 2100 GMT on Friday:
** Royal Dutch Shell's bid to acquire BG Group was dealt a blow on Friday when a first major shareholder said it would vote against the $49 billion deal due to a weak outlook for oil prices and risks related to BG's assets in Brazil.
** Two trade unions representing workers at No. 4 U.S. railroad Norfolk Southern Corp have joined a growing chorus of opposition to an unsolicited bid from Canadian Pacific Railway Ltd, one in an unpublished letter sent to the U.S. rail regulator and the other in an interview with Reuters.
** Activist shareholders could push media company Time Warner Inc to sell itself or spin off its lucrative HBO business, the New York Post reported late on Thursday.
** China's Fosun International Ltd has entered an agreement to boost its stake in German fashion brand Tom Tailor Holding AG to up to 30 percent, the Shanghai-based conglomerate said on Friday. Continued...

The Cincinnati Bengals have long been known to employ players that have run-ins with the law. Former Bengals wideout Chad Johnson will spend 30 days in jail after violating probation.
Formerly known as Chad Ochocinco, Johnson's plea for no jail time for violating probation in conjunction with a domestic dispute involving his ex-wfe fell apart this morning. Broward Judge Kathleen McHugh witnessed Johnson playfully slap his lawyer's rump in the courtroom. McHugh stated that Johnson wasn't taking the situation seriously enough and rejected his plea for no jail time, as well as extending his probation three months. Even after Johnson apologized, McHugh laid down the hammer.
Evelyn Lozada is Johnson's ex-wife. She is the TV reality star of "The Basketball Wives," and immediately filed for divorce after the dispute occurred in August. Johnson and Lozada shared just one month of wedded bliss.
Johnson has oft been known for his antics on the field, his outrageous touchdown celebrations, his ability to keep the crowd in the game and his talent for catching the long ball and running away with it. During his time with the Bengals, Johnson caught 751 passes for 10,783 yards, 66 touchdowns and just seven fumbles in 151 games over 10 years.
ESPN's "First Take" interviewed Johnson last Friday. He stated that he knew he could not afford any more trouble and that the violation occurred due to a "miscommunication" between he and his probation officer.
"I'm going to be OK," Johnson said. "I'm OK now, but I put myself in this situation and I have to deal with everything. With life, I'm at peace with everything. I would love to finish my career off the right way. If it happens, I'm not sure. But I would like to." (ESPN.com)
After leaving Cincinnati, Chad Johnson played one year for the New England Patriots in 2011 before moving on to the Miami Dolphins. The Dolphins released Johnson following the domestic violence charge. The 35-year old is currently a free agent looking to land on a team and hit the turf this fall.

Only if I get a free kimber
Oh..... ok then
Pray for me ya all. I've sent a resume to Kimber. They are looking for someone in sales in my area. http://www.kimberamerica.com/jobs.php#salesprof
It sounds like it would be a great job in a field I love. I'd love to get paid for doing something I love. What a concept.
When you say a prayer for 2400 pop a sentance for me too.
Only if I get a free kimber
Oh..... ok then
Sure thing! I've been trying for ages to get on with a few companies. That would be awesome!
Prayers for a Kimber Toni. I can handle that. Good luck everybody should have one dream job.
Best Baldy..
Good luck with that, sounds like a cool opportunity.
My jobs were always jobs. I hope you can latch on to a fun one. Positive vibes on the way
Well, I have not heard back so I'm not real optimistic at this point. We shall see.
Never argue with drunks or crazy people.
hey good luck! i hope ya get it. i just applied for *my* dream job too....forensic investigator with the maryland medical examiners office.
She refused to back down, then she refused to get help when the nightmares started.
Hang tough.
Stick up for yourself.
Don't let the guys "Macho" you into more than you want to handle.
... and don't be afraid to get help processing the ugly stuff. It's easy to fix, and there is no shame in being human.
Never argue with drunks or crazy people.
Any word yet?
I applied for my dream job the other day, too, but I was disqualified. I went to "step one" in the hiring process for a local police department. I can try again in a few months when two of my tickets and the accidental license suspension are wiped off my record. Mostly waiting on that suspension. I'd paid a ticket but there was some miscommunication and the DMV went ahead and suspended my license anyway. It was cleared up, but according to the PD it still counts. It should be gone in January, but with any luck I can try in October to test for the February academy.
Officer Sucklead. ummm. Has a good ring to it.
No word on mine. I get my soft cast off the tenth of next month and then will probably go back into plumbing. It'll pay better than the other jobs anyway.
Is it horrible that I got a sudden mental image of you doing a stripper routine in a plumber outfit? LOL!
My eyes! My eyes!
Help me get that image out of my head!
Never argue with drunks or crazy people.

I've written previously about the Vringo (VRNG) v Google (NASDAQ:GOOG) patent infringement case, where the jury awarded Vringo's I/P Engine affiliate a mere $31M, which was a small fraction of the $493M it asked the jury to award. The litigation appears highly material to Vringo's valuation, currently around $250M, as some suggest it could provide future royalties for Vringo from Google of hundreds of millions of dollars. I have opined against this expectation because I believe Vringo's future royalty expectation is on par with the jury award, which was similarly hoped by Vringo to be in the hundreds of millions but resulted in only tens of millions.
While the Court awaits the parties' post-trial motions, which Google has already suggested will include a motion to decrease the verdict even further, not much coverage has been given to a separate front Google has successfully opened against Vringo's patents at the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. Even if the court awards Vringo an ongoing future royalty against Google, something it has not yet done, and something Google has indicated it will vigorously oppose, there are several ways Google can reduce or eliminate altogether paying any such future royalties to Vringo. I've previously mentioned appealing the jury's verdicts of infringement and validity and designing around the patents, but Google's attack on I/P Engine's patents at the PTO could also terminate any Vringo entitlement to future royalties. I discuss that risk to Vringo's future expectations here.
Through a process known as "ex parte reexamination," any member of the public may ask the PTO to reconsider the validity of a patent the PTO previously issued. To do so, the requester must provide the PTO evidence that raises a "substantial new question" (SNQ) regarding the validity of the patent. One can't simply raise the same issue that was already addressed by the PTO either during the initial examination of the patent or any other reexamination that may have already occurred. It must be a new issue and it must be substantial.
Upon finding that a request raises at least one SNQ for at least one of the claims of the patent, the PTO will grant the request to reexamine the patent. As a result of reexamination, the PTO may ultimately cancel the entire patent, affirm the entire patent, or accept changes proposed by the patent holder to some or all of the patent's claims. In its June 2012 report on ex parte reexamination, the PTO's statistics show that when third parties like Google request reexamination of a patent, 12% of the time the entire patent is canceled and 23% of the time the entire patent is confirmed, but 65% of the time the claims are changed. Thus, the most likely outcome from a reexamination is that the patent gets changed in some way that the PTO believes makes it valid.
Note, however, that the law prevents patents from being broadened through reexamination. Claims can only be changed in a way that makes them narrower, which makes them more easy to avoid infringing. So, even if a patent survives reexamination, if it did so because it was narrowed, then it's possible that a party found to be infringing the original broader claims is no longer infringing the new narrower claims. The narrowing of the claims also makes it easier for the infringer to develop a design around that no longer falls within the scope of the narrowed claims even if that design around would have fallen within the scope of the original claims.
In its litigation against Google, Vringo asserted two patents, U.S. Patents Nos. 6,314,420 and 6,775,664 (the '420 and '664 patents, respectively). To be uber technical, I/P Engine asserted only a handful of the claims within each of the two patents, specifically claims 10, 14, 15, 25, 27 and 28 from the '420 patent and claims 1, 5, 6, 21, 22, 26, 28 and 38 from the '664 patent. The jury found in its verdict that each of the 6 claims of the '420 patent and the 8 claims of the '664 patent were infringed by Google and its co-defendants (customers who use Google's systems). The jury also found each of these claims were not invalid for anticipation. The judge will decide whether the claims are invalid for obviousness, although the jury did find several preliminary factual questions for the judge to consider on that issue in Vringo's favor.
In the meantime, Google has asked the PTO to reexamine each of the asserted claims in the two patents. First, back in March, Google filed a request for reexamination of the 6 claims of the '420 patent. In its request, Google set forth 11 different reasons why the various claims were invalid. In July the PTO granted Google's request, noting that all of the prior art submitted by Google was new to the PTO (i.e. had not been considered during initial examination of the '420 patent) and that there did not appear to be a specific reason given by the original examiner for allowance of the six claims. This was quite an admission by the PTO, to say that the Examiner who issued these claims did so without a specific reason. I guess it was close enough for government work.
In September the PTO issued an Office Action rejecting all 6 of the claims under review and adopting each of the 11 different arguments Google made as to why the claims are invalid. The Office Action is called "Non-Final" by law, as patentees like I/P Engine must be given an opportunity to respond to any rejections made by the PTO before the PTO can make those rejections "Final." However, that does not mean the rejections are not serious. The PTO could have decided in its Office Action to uphold some or all of the claims and/or it could have only adopted some of the arguments Google made. It did not do so. It rejected every claim and adopted every Google argument.
Vringo responded to the PTO's Office Action in late November, and now the matter is back before the PTO to decide whether to maintain some or all of its rejections. I find it very unlikely that the PTO will do a 100% about face and abandon all of the 11 rejections it made of the '420 patent's claims. Instead, I expect the PTO to stand by at least some of its rejections and issue a Final Office Action in the near future indicating that it intends to cancel all of the 6 challenged claims.
In addition to the reexamination of the '620 patent that is completely going in Google's favor, Google just a few weeks ago filed a request for reexamination of the 8 claims of the '664 patent. In that request, Google made 8 separate arguments why the claims were invalid. The PTO is now considering whether to grant Google's reexamination request, which usually takes them about two months to do. I fully expect the PTO will grant Google's request to reexamine all 8 asserted claims of the '664 patent and then subsequently issue an Office Action rejecting those claims for at least some, if not all, of the reasons given by Google in its request.
Although I predicted the jury would find the Vringo patents valid, I believe the PTO will likely cancel (i.e. invalidate) all of I/P Engine's asserted patent claims from both patents now under review, or at least require they be changed to a narrower form before confirming them. This may seem as though I've changed my opinion on the issue of whether the patents are valid or not, but I haven't. The apparent difference in my opinion results from two important differences between reexaminations at the PTO and validity challenges in court.
First, patent claims under review at the PTO are given their broadest reasonable construction, whereas in Court patent claims are given the construction that the Judge thinks is most correct, whether that be broad or narrow. In fact, District Courts in some circumstances are supposed to interpret patents narrowly so as to preserve their validity. A broader patent claim is more easily invalidated, as it is more likely to encroach upon the prior art, that would thus invalidate it. So, the fact that patents under reexamination are interpreted broadly means they're more likely to be found invalid. The Court's claim construction in the Vringo v Google case did not adopt the broadest reasonable interpretation of the claims, and therefore it was narrower than how those same claims will now be reviewed by the PTO. This means it is more likely the PTO will find those claims invalid.
The second hugely important difference between reexamination of patents at the PTO and validity challenges in court is that the burden of proof to show invalidity is much lower at the PTO, where only a preponderance of the evidence has to show that the patent claim is invalid, whereas in court the evidence must be clear and convincing that the claims are invalid. This difference in burden of proof has already caused situations where the exact same patent was upheld in court but later found invalid through reexamination at the PTO. This result may seem strange, but it is completely in accordance with the law. Just this October, the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, which is the exclusive Court of Appeals for all patent cases, said in the case of In re Baxter International:
The majority here concludes-rightly in my view-that a prior court decision in which a party has failed to prove a patent invalid does not bar the Patent and Trademark Office from subsequently reexamining that same patent. And, it concludes that, despite a final court judgment reaching a contrary conclusion as between the patent holder and one alleged infringer, the PTO is free to conclude that the patent is, indeed, invalid. That proposition is an unremarkable one.
So, just because the jury upheld the I/P Engine patents as valid under anticipation, and even assuming the judge does not reverse that decision or find the patents invalid under obviousness, that does not mean the PTO will necessarily do the same. The PTO can -- and I expect will -- find I/P Engine's asserted patent claims invalid and thus either cancel them or require I/P engine to change them. If and when the PTO cancels the claims, they can no longer be infringed and Google would therefore not be required to pay any more royalties from that point forward. However, to avoid any confusion, a canceling or changing of the patents by the PTO would not require a refund of any monies paid by Google to Vringo prior to that time.
In conclusion, for Vringo to actually collect any future royalties from Google, there are many things that must happen. Vringo must have the judge rule the patents are not obvious. Vringo must have the judge award it future royalties. Vringo must defend the jury's verdict of infringement on appeal. Vringo must defend the jury's verdict of validity affirmed on appeal. Vringo must defend the judge's decision that the patents are not obvious on appeal. Google must not be able to design around the patents. And, now, add to that list, Vringo must keep the PTO from canceling the asserted patent claims and/or requiring Vringo change them in a way that either no long covers Google's systems or makes them easier for Google to design around.
And even if Vringo is able to run the gamut and survive all these issues, there is still the issue I discussed before of how much future royalty will be awarded by the Judge. Ultimately, the risk that the patents will be canceled or changed by the PTO through Google's reexaminations of them is more reason why I believe the expectation of others that Vringo will receive hundreds of millions of dollars in future royalties from Google for these two patents is extremely unlikely.

BWW Reviews: Lyon Opera Ballet Offers a Mobil Sculpture as Glimpse of the End of the World
Last weekend, The Brooklyn Academy of Music saw the return of the Lyon Opera Ballet and the American premier of Christian Rizzo's Ni Fleurs, Ni Ford-Mustang. While commissioning works by contemporary choreographers is now a staple with ballet companies (particularly in Europe), Lyon Opera Ballet has developed a bit of a vanguard reputation in championing "modern ballet." Since its inception in 1969, the Company has commissioned works by American choreographers Bill T Jones, Susan Marshall, William Forsythe, and Trisha Brown as well as avant-garde European artists Alain Buffard, Maguy Marin and Jerome Bell, just to name a few.
The Company's engagement at BAM is part of the three week DANSE: A French-American Festival of Performance and Ideas, which highlights the work of French choreographers and performers to expand the visibility of contemporary dance to a wider public. As I sat in the audience of BAM's Howard Gilman Opera House Friday night, I couldn't help but wonder if this particular audience was ready for what the choreographer had to offer.
The Ballet actually began about 10 minutes before the curtain rose: a propulsive score, created for the work by Jerome Nox, crept through the speakers of the theater as the audience took their seats. The music became louder and louder until the audience was drowned in its tension. The curtain rose on a deserted landscape to reveal red glittered heels, a la Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz, scattered around the stage and a metallic silver skeleton suspended from the ceiling. Upstage right was a massive white screen that glowed a stark white light, revealing an indistinguishable, animal-like mass among the ruby slippers. The dancers entered by one, took their places on stage, and lay lifelessly around this tempestuous landscape that Rizzo had created.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 22/5/2014 (1133 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Police are warning people that nice weather can sometime bring out naughty behaviour.
With more people out and about at all hours of the day and night, the Brandon Police Service says everyone should remove valuables from their vehicles, or keep them out of site. Also, people should remember to lock up their vehicles, homes, garages and bicycles. While most people are just out to enjoy the nice weather, they say, there are those who will try and take advantage of others given the opportunity.
They also said Thursday morning that, in the past 24 hours, they had received several reports of vehicles being entered, and had arrested five people for various minor offences.
Two people were nabbed under existing arrest warrants, and another two were hauled in to the drunk tank. The fifth person was jailed for breaching the peace.

Platinum Catalyst Hand Warmer questions
Posted 15 June 2010 - 07:36 AM
My wife has used "peacock" style hand warmers for some time, they use lighter fluid and a platinum infused pad to produce a catalytic reaction that produces heat.
the catalyst pads "wear out" so to speak and need to be replaced. I am curious if there is a simple way to just make my own.
they look like this:
and are inserted into this piece( which is placed on top of a unit that contain cotton batting that soaks up lighter fluid):
the reaction is started by holding a flame close to but not igniting the pad for about 10 seconds.
Any ideas on how to go about creating these little pads? i thought i may be able to use felt infused with ta catalyst....where can i get the catalyst?

You would have to ask a chemist about what exactly is formed in the process, but i would suggest giving it a clean! Try water first, if that fails maybe an alcohol or some acetone might be worth trying.
Good luck.

They used to be made out of a loose fiber similar to fiberglass, most have changed over to the more solid type pad seen pictured above, but then they still deteriorate and become unusable.
It occur to me that that one could use electrolysis to coat fine steel mesh with the catalyst and use several layers of the mesh cut to fit in place of the "pad".
But i really don't know enough about how this actually works to know if THAT would work.
Can anyone explain the reaction between common lighter fluid and platinum that creates heat without actually burning?( no smell either)

Please bear in mind that im not a chemist
So, if we have 2 waste products: water and CO2, how do they make the pad degrade?
It could be that the substrate (the thing that the platinum is impregnated in) is hygroscopic, and absorbs the water from the reaction. This is my best guess purely because it would stop moisture building up in your pocket and allows them to sell more pads.
Its possible that the C02 could dissolve in the water to make a weak acid, and that makes some interaction, but i would err towards that not being much of a contributing factor.
So, with that in mind, what can be done to stop it?
You could try and use a powerful desiccant to extend the life of your pads. Adding a powdered desiccant should absorb at least some of the water and therefore increase the life of your pads, you may even be able to to add some dry crushed silica gel to the top of the pad. The problem with that though is that the substrate is much more efficiently placed to absorb the water, so it might not be that effective.
If the water is indeed the issue though, you could take some of you old pads, and separate the platinum (try burning at a low temp followed by an organic solvent). That should leave you with colloidal platinum, carbon, and some ash (from the unknown substrate). Try impregnating various other substrates with that, perhaps with your own desiccant.

Cypress, thank you for the information, it helps in my understanding of the process.

Hi Brandon, I am on the same boat. Have you discovered how to make your own catalyst or buy raw materials in bulk to use on these hand warmers? The burners they produce are crappy as hell. I appreciate your attention. Thanks.

These questions are still very germane. I recently repacked a hand warmer's reservoir with Carbon Felt and that seems to have improved its performance and reliability. The next obvious improvement would be the catalyst head as noted in this thread. You'll laugh when I confess I tried to make a catalyst out of JB Weld and carbon felt, which of course did not work.
Now I wondering about the silica wick that is used by the vaping community. Would that have any potential as a material in hand warmer catalyst heads?

Need help! Zetec went ?????
I was passing a car today at about 6000 rpm, (automatic) and my motor got a sulfur smell and then wouldn't run worth a crap! It had been running good, but had an irregular idle. I dont think the cat is bad.
The cranckcase tube ( runs from the front of the engine as a hard tube, going into a rubber hose just below the thermostat, and runs to the back of the motor to just below the tb.) had gotten flat as a flitter at the back of the motor, so I replaced it. I removed the negative cable while replacing it. I put the cable back, idled the motor for several minutes, and it idled perfectly. I ran the car down the road 5 miles, it ran perfect, but when I hit passing gear, at 6000 rpm's it just started running like crap. Like an old plugged up carburater, and just plugged up sounding and rough. Then I smelled sulfur. It is also does not respond to throttle input immediately, but sluggish. The sulfur smell is gone, probably just a result from the long idleing. The cat does not rattle, and the exhaust has no color.
What could it be? Valve? Cat? Timing belt teeth? I replaced the plugs, not better. Help!
Moved you to the Technical Chat area so more people could see your problem. [thumb]
Did you change the PVC valve when you replaced the hose? I've had my cat break in clog before it made the car very slugish just trying to keep up with normal traffic. Wait till it gets dark and go for a little drive. Then pop the hood and look at the cat. If it's bad it may be glowing red hot in spots. Mine got so hot it turned blue. How many miles are on your car? T-belt should be done around 100-120k mi on the normal zetec
Never had any problems with this Focus, or my 01 wagon. It did this suddenly at high rpm's.
Thanks for the reply.
My money is on the converter, but you could try a tune up of your ignition system.
At that mileage I'd definitely get the belt changed. It could have very well jumped time or even lost a tooth when you gave it the beans. That could easily cause sluggish response due to improper timing. Then again the converter could also be on it's way out. I'm leaning towards the t-belt though. Take the cover off and turn the motor over by hand and inspect it. You'll notice if it's cracked or has missing teeth.
Im going to pull the cat off andgrind it out. We'll see what that does. I'll also take a peek at the t belt.
Good thing I dont have much to do this week!
Take a peek at the belt before you go pulling the cat off. Trust me it sucks trying to get everything out of it.
I'll look at the belt Sunday. I do hope its still good. I can replace the cat or gut it, but the t belt is too much for my old and tired ass. Plus, thats more than I dare try.
Thanks for the help.
If the belt broke, would the engine run at all? This is NON inteference, correct? Or inteference with dished pistons so as not to intefere?
Since the engine runs, albeit like it has lost a cylinder, could the belt be missing teeth or a tensioner broke, moving the timing aroud?
It has actually improved a teeny weeny bit, and I have done nothing, yet. Still, its way off. Im hoping its the converter. If it is, I may go with the svt header, orp, extra muffler.

did some runs agaisnt a few cars nothing impressive with my 2006 fpgreen, tuned by clark turner. these didnt happen all in the same night, just a few from here and there compiled together.
at a local spot, saw a few cars decide to get a few runs in and see what this things has.
ist up was a EK Civic Hatch LS turboed, fmic,exhaust from what i could see and hear owner said he was pushing 16psi tuned by inline racing.
did a 40-110pmh roll by the end of third i was about 3 cars ahead and shut it down somewhere in 4th.
next i had a friend set me up with a c5 corvette didnt ask for his mods, he wanted to go from a dig and 30mph roll, did both and pulled him about 3-4 cars by mid 4th.
going to another meet, met up with a friend with a s13 sr20 swao with full bolt ons on what he said was a T25? 20 psi from what i recall. did a 40mph roll, pulled him 3 cars by end of third and let off there.
on my way home on a different night ran into a stage 2 red srt4 on my ass i got into the next lane, he rolled up and gave me a node, i pointed for him to go around 30mph , he took off and once i spooled up i pasted him up in third by 4+ cars i decided to shut it down there, gave me the thumbs up and went on my way.
ran a friend with a evo8 full bolt ons, cams, fmic etc on c16 29psi think he dynoed near 390whp from a 40, by 4th gear he pulled me a good 2-3 cars.
thought i throw in a few runs in this section here

Got A Question? Share an Answer
Where's the Best Place to Sit at Dodgers Stadium for a Dodgers vs. White Sox Game?
A: For afternoon games, the sun sits high in the sky at the beginning of the game but sets toward the 3rd base side. So I always like to get tickets in odd numbered sections so the sun ends up behind me.
- Mike A - Los Angeles , CA
B: I LOVE sitting directly above home plate in the Top Deck, Sections 1 or 2. You get the best view of the entire stadium and can see all the balls and strikes. Not to mention, it's super cheap.
Tammy Sutton - SF Valley
C: I love the Loge level seats behind home plate myself.
-Steve Sapera- Los Angeles , CA
D: It depends on how you like to view a baseball game. Do you like to sit up high and see the entire field, or do you like to sit lower and get a closer view of the players? I have sat in pretty much every section of Dodger Stadium and they're all great! I am partial to the upper level behind home plate. You can see every ball and strike. My second favorite is the Field Box down the first baseline. No matter where you sit, you will be very happy with your seats.
- Dani Fieldmire - Santa Monica , CA
What is Pavilion seating in Dodger Stadium?
A: Pavilion Seating refers to the seats in the outfield. The left pavilion is sections 301-313 and the right pavilion is sections 302-314. The right pavilion is "all you can you eat"! I like sitting in the pavilions because you get a really different view of the park, it's rowdy, and you could catch a homerun. If I would have to choose one, I would choose left field. The fans are more into it on that side for some reason (even before Manny arrived).
