Updated 1:27 p.m.
The mother of Trayvon Martin is calling on lawmakers to work with state and local official to roll back or clarify the purpose of "Stand Your Ground" laws, saying that George Zimmerman's misinterpretation of the law led to the death of her son.
Sybrina Fulton recounted for senators Tuesday that the night Zimmerman killed Martin, her son "was simply going to the store to get snacks -- nothing more, nothing less. He was not going to get cigarettes or bullets or condoms or other items of that nature. He was not the criminal that the person who shot and killed him thought he was."
Fulton spoke at a Senate Judiciary subcommittee hearing held to explore issues surrounding "Stand Your Ground" laws in the more than 30 states that have some version of the law. The hearing was originally scheduled for mid-September, but was postponed in the wake of the mass shooting at the Washington Navy Yard.
In addition to Fulton, the panel heard from several academics and Lucy McBath, whose 17-year old son, Jordan Davis, was killed in Jacksonville, Fla., last November by a gunman who has claimed he was acting in self-defense.
Fulton spoke extemporaneously, but in her prepared written testimony she said that she is not seeking to restrict legal gun ownership. "I only want to see the laws surrounding self-defense clarified so that they are applied logically and most importantly, consistently."
"Stand Your Ground" laws should be amended "to include language that clarifies its original intent," she said, citing comments by former Florida governor Jeb Bush, who signed Florida's "Stand Your Ground" law and said at the time that " 'Stand Your Ground' means stand your ground. It doesn't mean chase after somebody who's turned their back."
The Florida-passed law "certainly did not work in my case," Fulton said. "The person that shot and killed my son is walking the streets today and this law does not work. We need to seriously take a look at this law, we need to seriously speak with the state attorney's office, the police departments, more attorneys, we need to do something about this law when our kids cannot feel safe in their own community."
A Florida jury acquitted Zimmerman of charges of second-degree murder and manslaughter in July.
Sen. Richard J. Durbin (D-Ill.), who chairs the Judiciary subcommittee on the constitution, civil rights and human rights, said that it is time for "Stand Your Ground" laws "to be carefully reviewed and reconsidered. Whatever the motivation behind them, it's clear these laws often go too far in encouraging confrontations that escalate into deadly violence. They're resulting in unnecessary tragedies and they are diminishing accountability under our justice system."
Durbin cited data to suggest that the laws have increased racial disparity in the nation's criminal justice system. An unnamed study he cited found that in states with the laws, nearly 17 percent of homicides involving white shooters and black victims were ruled justified, compared to 1 percent of homicides with black shooters and white victims.
But Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tex.), the subcommittee's ranking member, sought to downplay the idea that "Stand Your Ground" laws adversely affect minorities -- particularly African Americans.
"In Florida, the data show that African American defendants have availed themselves of the 'Stand Your Ground' defense more frequently than have Anglo defendants," Cruz said.
Cruz noted that the law is only supposed to apply when someone is defending themselves from a violent attacker and that the courts are in place to make that determination.
"I find the notion that we say, if you and your family are attacked on the street, you don't have a right to defend yourself – I find that an astonishing proposition, and one that I certainly hope members of the U.S. Senate will not advocate," Cruz said.
Later, Cruz said it was "sad and irresponsible" to see outside groups seek to undermine the Zimmerman verdict and the case's jury "to inflame racial tensions."
Speaking to Fulton, Cruz said: "I recognize that for the family you're simply mourning the loss of your son, but there are other players who are seeking to do a great deal more based on what happened that Florida night."
Update 1:42 p.m.: National Rifle Association head Chris Cox releases the following statement:
"Stand Your Ground laws have been signed by governors in 20 states, including eight Democratic governors, two of whom – Kathleen Sebelius (Kan.) and Janet Napolitano (Ariz.) – were appointed to Cabinet positions by President Obama. If Sen. Durbin is truly interested in making Americans safer, he should compel Attorney General Eric Holder to testify over what Mayor Rahm Emmanuel called the federal government's 'horrible' effort of prosecuting criminals with firearms in Chicago – America's murder capital in Durbin's home state."

The folks at Sprint were the pioneers that launched the first 4G-enabled handset back in 2008 and it's only fitting that the third-largest carrier wants to take the lead in the world of the 4G tablets. That's understandable as there is considerable interest in tabs, particularly from the business world, which sees tablets as perfect replacements of the notebooks. This is only confirmed by Paget Alves, Sprint's President of Business Markets, who says that "the adoption rate for tablets in the business sector is much, much faster than we expected", claiming that 70 to 80% of the CIOs he has talked to express interest in deploying tablets for a sizeable part of their employees. According to Alves, the key is in attractive data plans and that's why "lots of different prices are being tried right now."
Do you think this is Sprint's subtle way to say that it's getting the PlayBook? Or probably HP is targeting the tablet business more than the smartphone one? Or this probably means that WP7 is more optimized for tablets than phones? Tell us with your comments.

I was completely happy with my full, C cup breasts. After my two wonderful children, they were saggy and deflated in the upper pole. When I was 25lbs heavier, I wore a D cup and it didn't look too big. I wanted to end up as a small DD. I went w/ a lift and 425 CC's silicone implants under the muscle.

I was completely happy with my full, C cup breasts...
Before the operation
I was a C there. I recently lost 25lbs and while I was at my heaviest, I was a D cup. That wasn't too big for me.
20 days post-op, minor hematoma
20 days after my procedure, the PS went into my left breast by cutting the bottom anchor incision back open and cleaned out old blood that was leaking from the corners of my incision. I developed a hematoma in that breast the night of the surgery due to, what I believe, was from vomiting for a few hours, violently. I think the morphine caused the nausea. Needless to say, that was why the left was so much bigger. My main concern was developing capsular contracture from it but the PS was surprised at how soft the breast was despite the hematoma. He was 99% sure a capsular contracture would not develop.
Almost 2 months post-op
I'm coming up on 2 months since the BL/BA. I'm still not sure if it was worth it. I just recently began sleeping on my side w/o pain. I slept in the living room, in a recliner for the first month, at least. It was the only place I was comfortable. I'm just now able to completely shave my arm pits. That was frustrating, not being able to get to all the area of my arm pit. I like the look from the front view, for the most part. However, still not pleased with the profile and oblique look, kind of torpedo-ish. I like natural, a little more wider at the bottom with a slope in the upper pole (I included a pic of the look is like to end up with). I also like for them to sit a little lower on the chest. My areola looks puffy, not really flush. I was very clear as to the look I wanted to end up with, showing pics and everything. The nurse reassured me that I would end up with that look. I know it takes AT LEAST 6 months, even up to a year to see final results but it sure is hard waiting and staying positive. I did so much research on the different lift types, implants, surgeons, things to do to prepare, got input from many friends and family that had one or the other procedure done and I felt really assured and ready, hopeful. It didn't dawn on me to read up on the recovery. When I was looking at before and after pics for ideas of final results, I didn't take into consideration that the after pics, most of the time, were way after the healing period had ended. I had it in my head that my final results would pretty much be immediate. So, I have been disappointed with the results, but only because I had really high expectations, not considering the long healing time. However, I've recently been feeling more optimistic about the results and hopeful that changes will keep happening, and quickly, but I'm still unsure if it was worth it at this point. After developing a hematoma, it caused a very noticeable asymmetry and my ongoing concern of developing capsular contracture. I had to wear an ace bandage at all times, except for showering, for 3+ weeks because of the swelling. I bruised so badly, it looked awful, going all the way down my sides to my hips. It took forever for it to go away. I was completely self conscious for the first 3 weeks because I couldn't hide the asymmetry and the fact that they were so high, right under my collar bone. I looked like I was wearing MLB home-base umpire gear under my shirt. After the hematoma was cleaned out, I had a large hole in the area the PS had to re-open along with another strange healing area on my nipple. I had to wear a panty liner in my bra to catch the drainage while they healed. To my surprise though, the hole has closed up and healed nicely. Right now, some of the stitches are poking out and I have to have my husband trim them. One other concern right now, and I was aware of this possibility going into it, is my left nipple is hypersensitive while my right nipple doesn't have any sensation. I hope feeling will return after some time. I hope this info hasn't deterred anyone from going forward with any procedures that they feel would make them happy. I am a realist, maybe a bit of a pessimist, so my outlook on the whole healing process is probably a bit more negative than most. I'll post again as things change.
1 year Post op
1 year later and I'm pretty happy with the results. Some of the scars are hypertrophic and I'll have scar revision done sometime soon.
Scar revision needed
I recently had my annual OBGYN appointment. She looked over the scarring from the lift and recommended I have scar revision. After consulting with my PS's nurse, we decided that was what needed to be done. The incisions in the fold of my breasts are raised, red and rope like. They itch sometimes. Not sure what the revision consists of but it's enough that the nurse recommend I be put under instead of just local anesthesia. There is a few small areas around my areola that need it also. I did point out to the nurse that the slope of my right breast is not straight, like the left. She told me that once they do the scar excise, it would help that. If you notice, the right nipple is a bit higher, pointing upwards more so than the left. I do hope the scar revision fixes that along with having less noticeable scarring. The surgery is scheduled for October 13th.
BioCorneum treatment...Anyone have any opionions on it's effectiveness?
I am researching scar treatment so that I can be prepared for the scar revision. I've read some on BioCorneum and see mixed reviews. Anyone try it and what was your opinion?
Scar revision update-16 months after initial procedure
Had my scar revision 2 weeks ago and everything went well. I am so very happy with the final results the little bit of revisin he did made a world of difference to me. Before, they were very obviously fake boobs and now I feel they have a little more natural look. Also glad the nipples are a bit more even. All in all, I feel it was worth it. Just wish I hadn't hit so many bumps in the road to get here. Keeping my fingers crossed none of the incisions come open.
I had many questions during my initial consult and he thoroughly answered them all w/o rushing me. He also allowed me to record the consult so that my husband, who was unable to make it, could be informed on our discussion. He was honest and to the point. His nurse was very helpful also.

Venting basement washroom
I'm installing a Saniflow pumping toilet in the basement of my two storey home. I will also be connecting a bath tub and vanity sink to this pumping toilet. Can I vent this system through a vent connected to a vanity sink on the first floor?? I would be connecting to the vent at a level above the first floor sink's trap.
Thanks http://www.mikeholmesfanforum.com/ph...helpsmilie.gif
Not sure if I can get to 6-inches above counter top but should be able to get close to counter top level. I has you say it ever got plugged wouldn't that keep water in the sink to indicate a plug before I totally flooded my basement?

John Mayer Dedicates Love Song to Katy Perry
By JACKIE WILLIS
July 08, 2013
It seems John Mayer and Katy Perry are on again after all! The singer/songwriter made a major romantic gesture during his Milwaukee show when he dedicated a love song to the pop star.
Mayer, 35, gushed over Perry, 28, recalling how "patient" she was following his voice surgery. "I was just getting to know this girl. ...She was more incredible than I ever thought. ...She would order for me ...and she would tell people, 'It's nice to meet you, he says,'" he told the audience. "When I was in Montana and I wasn't speaking with really bad phone service ...she was so patient as to even continue to get to know me and love me."
Following this sweet proclamation, Mayer dedicated his love song A Face To Call Home to Perry, saying, "I wanna dedicate this next song to my Katy, who is my face to call home."
RELATED PICS: John Mayer's Famous Romances
According to Rolling Stone, Perry was present for the song dedication, looking on from the sound board during opening night of Mayer's Born and Raised World Tour.
What do you think of Perry and Mayer? Will this romance last?

Clinical practice parameters for hemodynamic support of pediatric and neonatal septic shock: 2007 update from the American College of Critical Care Medicine
2009; 37 (2): 666-688
The Institute of Medicine calls for the use of clinical guidelines and practice parameters to promote "best practices" and to improve patient outcomes.2007 update of the 2002 American College of Critical Care Medicine Clinical Guidelines for Hemodynamic Support of Neonates and Children with Septic Shock.Society of Critical Care Medicine members with special interest in neonatal and pediatric septic shock were identified from general solicitation at the Society of Critical Care Medicine Educational and Scientific Symposia (2001-2006).The Pubmed/MEDLINE literature database (1966-2006) was searched using the keywords and phrases: sepsis, septicemia, septic shock, endotoxemia, persistent pulmonary hypertension, nitric oxide, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), and American College of Critical Care Medicine guidelines. Best practice centers that reported best outcomes were identified and their practices examined as models of care. Using a modified Delphi method, 30 experts graded new literature. Over 30 additional experts then reviewed the updated recommendations. The document was subsequently modified until there was greater than 90% expert consensus.The 2002 guidelines were widely disseminated, translated into Spanish and Portuguese, and incorporated into Society of Critical Care Medicine and AHA sanctioned recommendations. Centers that implemented the 2002 guidelines reported best practice outcomes (hospital mortality 1%-3% in previously healthy, and 7%-10% in chronically ill children). Early use of 2002 guidelines was associated with improved outcome in the community hospital emergency department (number needed to treat = 3.3) and tertiary pediatric intensive care setting (number needed to treat = 3.6); every hour that went by without guideline adherence was associated with a 1.4-fold increased mortality risk. The updated 2007 guidelines continue to recognize an increased likelihood that children with septic shock, compared with adults, require 1) proportionally larger quantities of fluid, 2) inotrope and vasodilator therapies, 3) hydrocortisone for absolute adrenal insufficiency, and 4) ECMO for refractory shock. The major new recommendation in the 2007 update is earlier use of inotrope support through peripheral access until central access is attained.The 2007 update continues to emphasize early use of age-specific therapies to attain time-sensitive goals, specifically recommending 1) first hour fluid resuscitation and inotrope therapy directed to goals of threshold heart rates, normal blood pressure, and capillary refill

Glucose control in pediatric intensive care unit patients using an insulin-glucose algorithm
2007; 9 (3): 211-222
Control of hyperglycemia in adult medical and surgical intensive care units (ICUs) has been shown to dramatically decrease morbidity and mortality. Algorithms to achieve glycemic control in the ICU setting are evolving. We have evaluated the use of a discrete proportional-integral-derivative (PID) algorithm to control hyperglycemia in pediatric ICU (PICU) patients both with and without diabetes.Six PICU patients [four with diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) and two with glucocorticoid-induced hyperglycemia] with glucose values >150 mg/dL were enrolled. Their hyperglycemia was managed with a PID algorithm that provided recommendations for both changes in the intravenous insulin infusion rate and the time to obtain the next discrete glucose value. Glucose targets were adjusted based on clinical circumstances.Patients (mean age 9.2 years; range 1.8-14 years) utilized the algorithm for a total of 454.4 h. Mean time to the initial glucose target was 8.7 h (range 1.3-15.1 h) in five patients. One subject with hyperosmolar DKA did not achieve target before discharge from the PICU, and another was at target when the algorithm was initiated. After the glucose target was achieved, the mean SD was 23.5 mg/dL, and glucose values were >40 mg/dL above target 13% of the time and <40 mg/dL below target 1% of the time. There were no glucose values <55 mg/dL.The PID algorithm safely and effectively controlled hyperglycemia in a PICU, despite multiple changes in intravenous fluids, steroid doses (including high-dose pulses), and hemodialysis.

Association of hypoglycemia, hyperglycemia, and glucose variability with morbidity and death in the pediatric intensive care unit
2006; 118 (1): 173-179
We evaluated retrospectively plasma glucose levels and the degree of hypoglycemia, hyperglycemia, and glucose variability in a PICU and then assessed their association with hospital length of stay and mortality rates.Electronic medical records at the Packard Children's Hospital at Stanford University were reviewed retrospectively for all PICU admissions between March 1, 2003, and March 31, 2004. Patients with a known diagnosis of diabetes mellitus were excluded. The prevalence of hyperglycemia was defined with cutoff values of 110, 150, and 200 mg/dL. Hypoglycemia was defined as < or = 65 mg/dL. Glucose variability was assessed with a calculated glucose variability index.In 13 months, 1094 eligible admissions generated 18865 glucose values (median: 107 mg/dL; range: 13-1839 mg/dL). Patients in the highest maximal glucose quintile had a significantly longer median PICU length of stay, compared with those in the lowest quintile (7.5 days vs 1 day). Mortality rates increased as patients' maximal glucose levels increased, reaching 15.2% among patients with the greatest degree of hyperglycemia. Hypoglycemia was also prevalent, with 18.6% of patients (182 of 980 patients) having minimal glucose levels of < or = 65 mg/dL. There was an increased median PICU length of stay (9.5 days vs 1 day) associated with glucose values in the lowest minimal quintile, compared with those in the highest quintile. Hypoglycemia was correlated with mortality rates; 16.5% of patients with glucose levels of < or = 65 mg/dL died. Glucose variability also was associated with increased length of stay and mortality rates. In multivariate logistic regression analyses, glucose variability, taken with hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia, showed the strongest association with mortality rates.Hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia were prevalent in the PICU. Hypoglycemia, hyperglycemia, and, in particular, increased glucose variability were associated with increased morbidity (length of stay) and mortality rates.

Changing outcomes for children requiring intensive care following hematopoietic stem cell transplantation
2006; 10 (3): 299-303
Past literature has shown that respiratory failure following hematopoietic stem cell transplant is associated with a universally poor outcome with mortality rates approaching 100%. More recent studies have suggested that patient survival is improving. We report our experience with the patients from our institution, a large children's hospital, who were admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU). Medical records of 183 patients, who received a bone marrow transplant between 1992 and early 2004, who were <20 yr of age, were retrospectively reviewed. Various factors that might influence mortality were examined. Over the course of the study, the ICU survival increased from 18% during the period 1992-1999 to 59% between 2000 and early 2004. In the latter period, 54% of the patients discharged from the ICU were alive at 100 days post-transplant. Factors that were significant predictors of poor outcome were malignancy as the reason for transplant, dialysis during the ICU stay, or extreme respiratory failure with a ratio of arterial oxygen tension (PaO2)/inspired oxygen concentration (FiO2) <300. Analysis of patients who required a high positive end-expiratory pressure or were ventilated with permissive hypercapnia showed that they also had a higher mortality. The impact on survival of factors such as age at time of transplant, graft-vs.-host disease, pneumonia, bacteremia, sepsis, post-transplant days, Pediatric Risk of Mortality III score, engraftment status, or veno-occlusive disease did not reach statistical significance in this cohort. Survival has improved for children who require intensive care following a bone marrow transplant, even for those who require mechanical ventilation. Patients with extreme respiratory failure and those requiring dialysis continue to have poor outcome. Because of an overall improvement in survival, children whose condition following transplant requires intensive care should be treated aggressively.

A Walk In The Park - Scottsdale, AZ
I never experienced even the slightest inconvenience along the way. After researching many 'top' plastic surgeons it became quite obvious how courteous, professional, and dedicated Dr. Shaw and his team are. They went above and beyond to set me at ease throughout the process! I recently had breast augmentation and a lift and had been a bundle of nerves leading up to the procedures! I cannot stress enough how EASY the whole process, as well as, my recovery was! Dr. Shaw is a genius and made my entire experience 'a walk in the park'! I had absolutely NO pain following the surgery and was beyond ecstatic about my results... my experience with Dr. Shaw far exceeded any of my expectations and my new body has me feeling more feminine and secure than I ever imagined possible. My loyalty now lies, without question, with Dr. Shaw's expertise and very professional staff!

How do you make a Cubs/Brewers interesting when they have a combined 126-155 record? You slip a fake press release supposedly written by Cubs GM Jim Hendry into the press pack! Here's a pic (via Paul Sullivan's Twitter) ...
Brewers Vice-President of Communications Tyler Barnes said they are looking into the incident, and that it was "impossible to know where it came from." They have not apologized to the Cubs or Hendry yet, but have spoken to the Cubs about the hoax.
"You've got people credentialed from every city in the country around here," he said. "Without knowing who did it... It's an unfortunate incident. It's a lousy attempt at a practical joke and in that way we're certainly sorry. But without being able to know who did it..." [ChicagoBreakingSports.com]
Cubs haters, take the mic. Just don't ...
... kielbasa the messenger.

Well, I'm slowly creeping up through my thirties, so normally one might not want to do a lot of celebrating… this year however, the family got together to plan a surprise theme for me. Truth be told, I'm not an easy one to plan things for… or to buy for. I'm a bit eclectic and picky, but Ken nailed it. For those that don't know me, I am a pretty big hockey fan. I don't know why, but I love the game. So this was my theme… he set out with the kids to find decorations and gifts. I came home to find everyone wearing hockey t shirts and goalie masks; I was given a hockey jersey to wear myself. The cake was in the shape of a hockey stick with a puck. Some of the gifts were even along with the theme – my favorite being a framed, autographed photograph of Bobby Orr's famous goal. After the party, I was treated to an afternoon of ice skating. I have to say that even though he may not be able to skate worth a darn and doesn't particularly care for the sport, he deserves to be awarded the Stanley Cup for the party.

cannot work for free any more
i am no longer able to work for free. i will still post my work on this site, but i will not be taking future free/scene projects. the window of opportunity and time for this chapter of my life has closed and even though i love to help out i cannot justify doing this purely in an altruistic method anymore. if you truly want my work you will have to pay for it.
the reason for this change in direction is because my life has evolved and i just dont have the free time or ambition i had before; family and career taking priority over hobbies and special interests. i hope there are no hard feelings. i've done my best to give back from the scene which i have taken so much from, and feel i've paid my dues officially through designermonkey free efforts as well as buying all the software to support the scene economy where applicable.
i will honor my current commitments and continue to work with other people in the audio scene on projects that i use myself, or for developers whom i respect and admire. this time around it is a personal decision and please do not be offended if i refuse to work with you, it is not out of pride or prejudice but out of personal preference and goals balanced by resources available (time, patience, ambition).
- i do not work for free any more
- for small commercial projects, i work for a reasonable fee
- for large commercial projects, i work on contractual basis

Planning for the National Conference on Tobacco or Health 2000
Under this grant, the American Medical Association will partner with the Foundation, the American Cancer Society, and several other organizations in preparing to compete to host the 11th World Conference on Tobacco OR Health, in Chicago, Illinois. The 11th World Conference on Tobacco OR Health will be held in the year 2000 and that is a particularly significant year for the tobacco control movement in the United States and worldwide. The Smoke-Free Class of 2000 will graduate from high school that year and it is the target date set for a smoke-free society originally set by former Surgeon General C. Everet Koop in the late 1980s. If the bid is successful, the American Medical Association will be the site of the conference Secretariat. The bid will be presented by a group representing the primary sponsors in Helsinki, Finland, in October 1996. Tobacco is the leading cause of death in the U.S.; however, many other countries have more progressive tobacco control policies. Very few Americans involved in tobacco control are able to travel outside the U.S., and thus U.S. attendance has been very limited. A benefit of holding the World Congress in the U.S. is that tobacco control researchers and activists, including RWJF grantees, could attend and learn from the experiences of the other countries. For example, the idea for the Center for Tobacco Free Kids arose out of a series of discussions at the 1994 World Congress in Paris.

Welcome to Generation W! My name is Julie Momyer and initially I set out to develop an author blog to promote my first novel. But, then I thought, how boring is that? Why not use the site space in a way that would be fun, encouraging and benefit more than just my interests?
After much mental toil, chiseling and shaping, Generation W is what emerged. In simple terms it is a blog for women. Heavily dosed with sarcasm and compassion, Generation W is meant to connect, engage, entertain, and encourage.
For me, the question was, what about content? In this information saturated society what do today's women really want and need? Hollywood made a movie about it, authors have outlined it in self-help books, and most men are still trying to figure it out.
The truth is, a woman's core needs, her most intimate struggles haven't changed since Eve and her man were booted out of Eden. I'm sure Eve would have liked to have had access to a more absorbent tampon, wished that her sons got along, and dreamt about something as potent as an epidural to take the edge off the pain promised her in childbirth. And at the deepest level, I have no doubt that just like every woman that came after, Eve's greatest desire was to be loved for who she was.
We are women; bonded in a way that transcends culture, skin color, social status and the bogus disparity between parent and child known as the generation gap. If we talked to our mothers and grandmothers, read the diaries and love letters written by our great-grandmothers, our great-great grandmothers….and on down the line….instead of a chasm, we would see the kinship, the common thread that links us all as women.
Welcome to Generation W!

Freedom defensive back Nate Godwin faces a three-week suspension by the Florida High School Athletic Association for his hit on a receiver in Friday's game against Alonso.
Godwin, a senior, was ejected in the second quarter of the Patriots' 35-6 loss to Alonso for an "unnecessary, rough, and flagrant" tackle, according to the officials' report from the game.
The officials said Godwin came in late and hit the receiver "high and hard." The incident was considered a Level 2 infraction, which carries up to a six-game suspension.
Godwin would not be eligible to return until Freedom's Oct. 26 game against district front-runner Tampa Bay Tech.
The Patriots (2-3) face district foe Chamberlain on Friday. If Godwin's suspension is upheld, he would also miss games against Wharton on Oct. 12 and district rival Gaither on Oct. 19.
Freedom coach Todd Donohoe didn't immediately return a message seeking comment.
On his Twitter account Monday afternoon, Godwin said: "Missin (Chamberlain), Wharton, and my homecoming game (Gaither) Senior year ruined. …Praying to god that this appeal goes through. Trying to get suspension reduced."
Godwin, ranked No. 40 on the Times' HomeTeam 100, has 22 tackles and an interception this year. He has received an offer from USF, West Virginia and Arkansas State, among others.

Kaitlyn Harman has been awarded a Diabetes Hope Scholarship to recognize her accomplishments in education, sports and diabetes management.

Kaitlyn, a 17-year-old Ancaster High student, was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes at the age of seven, and sees it as an opportunity that has made her stronger.

Kaitlyn has acted as a role model for younger children in a number of capacities. She has worked as a tutor, volunteered at various elementary schools, and helped welcome new Grade 8 and 9 students.

She has also volunteered with an organization that provides support for children with disabilities and mental health issues.

As a high school athlete, Kaitlyn has been active on the basketball and track teams.

She hopes to one day become a history teacher, and plans to attend university to study classics.

More than 70,000 children worldwide develop type 1 diabetes each year, according to the International Diabetes Federation.

Type 2 diabetes, previously unheard of in children, is rising at alarming rates, especially among ethnic minorities.

Diabetes Hope Foundation was founded in 1999 to reward, empower, and provide educational resources for youth with diabetes to achieve a life without limits while living with diabetes.

Since 1999, the foundation has awarded 510 scholarships to young adults across the country.

The scholarship rewards youth with diabetes for their vigilance in diabetes care, and their ability to maintain a healthy active lifestyle, while also achieving success in their academic performance and community leadership.

Paul Atkins
Paul is an engineer, producer, composer and musician who these days spends a large portion of his working life mixing FOH sound either on tour or in-house at London venues – including the legendary 100 Club.
His studio credits include Lucky Soul, The Hope Rebellion and Nick Evans and he tours with Various Cruelties, Eli 'Paperboy' Reed & ZZ Ward mixing FOH. He's also performed on stages around the world and on many recording sessions over the last 20 something years
Purely by chance I was presented with the topic for this month's column on a platter when the in-house Digidesign SC48 console at a venue where I work didn't survive a recent power cut and the interim replacement turned out to be none other than the new, and much talked about, X32 from Behringer.
For those that haven't heard the hype about this desk its features include; 32 mic inputs, 8 DCA's, 16 balanced XLR outputs, 8 stereo FX (16 mono) and truck loads of dynamic control on input and output channels for less than £2,500 inc VAT. And, if you look hard enough you'll see it has Midas written on it. More about that later.
I had less than 24 hours notice that the X32 had been put in to replace the ill SC48 and I'd never actually laid eyes on one before. A quick search found plenty of info online and my first thoughts were, "oh, it looks like one of the Allen & Heath iLive series". And the layout is very similar indeed. The input gain, dynamics thresholds, parametric EQ and bus routing dials are laid out at the top-left of the desk which felt much like the iLive-T112 to use. Instead of using a 'select' button to see parameters on the LCD screen Behringer have a 'view' button, which was very handy and user friendly.
I was both curious and tentative about using the X32. It's not very often I get to A – B a mixing desk in familiar surroundings so I was keen to hear the difference, and I was going to work with a diverse range of bands over the 3 different nights which would be an excellent test. The bands ranged from the standard rock band line up, to blue grass, to instrumental electronica. The PA system is a punchy d&b C7 set up with one mid-high and two subs per side, which is ample for the intimate 200 capacity venue. The room is quite dead and one of, if not the best sounding small venues in London.
After mic'ing up the first band, which was a 4 piece rock band with 3 vocals, I began with the usual check on the drum channels. Kick drum, sounded much the same as I'd expect through the SC48. However, the sound of the other parts of the kit are best described as a bit thin and brittle. I was instantly disappointed. The kit sounded very 2 dimensional.
Next, DI'd bass guitar. Sounded fine. Electric guitars. Thin again. Vocals, yip, you guessed it. Thin, but harsh in the upper register.
When the band were all playing together I searched through the graphic adjusting frequencies in a bid to soften up the sound but after a little while it was obvious that I was fighting a battle I was never going to win. No matter what I tried I couldn't get the richness, or fullness I was used to with the usual SC48. I have to mention at this point that I don't have any brand loyalty with Digidesign/Avid, in fact they're not my favourite sounding digital desks, its merely that the SC48 is my point of reference.
During the sound check I was able to do just about everything I needed quite quickly, which is a testament to the layout of the desk. The only function I hadn't yet found was naming the channels so I resorted to using the trusty tape/sharpie combination.
The following night I had a blue grass band, amongst others, and the X32 fared much better than the previous night. No complaints on the sound. Or was I getting used to it? Probably a bit of both. And, I stumbled upon how to name the channels!
A nice feature of the desk is the option of using icons to ID the channels as well as names. Oddly though, there wasn't an icon for banjo. I didn't mention that to the band – banjo players are the butt of enough jokes already.
Comparing the sound of mixing on a X32 to a SC48 is much like comparing the difference between a recording made in a typical home studio to one made with expensive convertors and pre amps. After a while of working on the home recording you get used to the sound of it and think that you're doing a great job yielding chart topping results. Until, that is, you reference against an expensive recording and yours now sounds thin and shallow.

Happy Beads
1 Recommendation
MyCuriousCreations's recommendation
My Curious Creations' HAPPY BEADS were created on the idea of the Greek Worry Beads (Komboloi pronounced:"come-bo-loy"). It is believed that Komboloi (worry beads) are anti-depression and assist one whose life is not balanced and grounded. It helps in removing the mental stress of a human being and also in building a balance between his/her body and mind. Each Happy Bead strand has 13 beads strung plus 2 more on the ends. The object of these beads are for your intention. You put in what you want to get back. I chose the number 13 because it is a favorite of mine. 13 also has many different significances in a number of different cultures and historys. Bottom line is...These beads make you feel happy because they were created with loving balanced intensions!!
My Collections:
I don't know if this website is for promoting one's self but thought that this would be the place if any to do so. Hope you enjoy my items! Feel free to let me know if this just isn't acceptable behavior for this site. Don't want to be pushy or too stuck on my biz...but hey! I AM!! I love creating fun creations! :)

CONSUMER ELECTRONICS SHOW 2006 / They can't help but make news / Google, Yahoo steal spotlight without even saying a word
Published 4:00 am, Friday, January 6, 2006
2006-01-06 04:00:00 PDT Las Vegas -- Internet heavyweights Google Inc. and Yahoo Inc. are stealing the spotlight at the Consumer Electronics Show even before their executives take the stage today to talk about new initiatives that revolve around television.
Both companies have ambitions to become de facto television networks, with viewers watching shows on their Web sites. What's been lacking is a deep lineup of quality programs, a shortcoming that they have been working furiously to fix.
That's expected to change today, with both companies announcing content partnerships that will allow users to watch more TV on their PC.
Latest business videos
Today's keynote speeches are the first ever by Yahoo and Google at the gigantic event, which in the past has highlighted the leaders of electronics and software firms. The newcomers' prominence illustrates how closely entwined the Internet and the rest of the technology industry have become.
Terry Semel, Yahoo's chief executive officer, opens with a speech this morning.
Larry Page, Google's co-founder, will be talking in the afternoon.
Both are expected to discuss online television, along with efforts to spread some of their services to more users.
On Thursday, Sunnyvale's Yahoo made a small step toward joining the rush to dominate the digital living room -- a concept that has become the holy grail of the tech industry, melding the Web, TV, audio and video content through a single home system.
The company's new product, Yahoo Go TV, puts some of Yahoo's Internet features -- such as video search and digital photos -- on television sets that are connected to a personal computer.
People will be able to take content from their personal computer or from the Web and have it appear on what is often the biggest screen in their home. To navigate the pages, users must press buttons on their television remote.
Yahoo Go TV, a free service, requires a download from go.yahoo.com/go.
Google, based in Mountain View, is expected to outline content-sharing partnerships with CBS television and the National Basketball Association, among others, according to anonymous sources cited by the Wall Street Journal. Users would pay to download the broadcasts, putting Google in direct competition with Apple Computer Inc.'s video distribution service.
Internet companies are in a race to add video to their Web sites to capitalize on the proliferation of broadband connections that make watching shows via the Internet faster and more convenient.
After years of skepticism, television companies have joined in the frenzy.
In addition to adding video, Google will bundle its desktop software with some from other companies so that users can download it all at once, according to the Wall Street Journal. Called Google Pack, the bundle would include Google's desktop search software, Google Earth satellite imaging and the Picasa photo-editing system.
Other programs in the package include the Firefox open-source Web browser, Adobe Systems Inc.'s Reader and some anti-virus software from Symantec Inc., according to the report.

#1 Ranked Children's Hospital by U.S. News & World Report
MyPatients provides referring primary care providers with secure access to their patients' information.
Boston Children's has launched the world's 1st program dedicated to offering hand transplants to children who qualify.
Innovation insider is a semi-monthly e-newsletter analyzes innovations at Boston Children's, other academic medical centers and from industry.
Read the latest blog by a Boston Children's doctor, clinician or staff member.
There are many ways you can help children and their families get the care they need.
Boston Children's Hospital has a rich history of developing innovative surgical treatments that dates back to 1938 when Robert Gross, MD performed the first surgery to correct a congenital heart defect in a baby.
This tradition continues today as evidenced by Childrens' many groundbreaking surgical innovations.
Magnetic Resonance/Operating Room (MR/OR)
Opened in fall 2005, Children's brand new MR/OR is the world's first mobile Intraoperative Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) system (in a pediatric hospital). The system includes a 15,000-pound MRI machine that enables surgeons to scan patients before completing surgery to ensure they've removed brain and other tumors with utmost accuracy.
Titanium Rib Implant
In 1998, John Emans, MD, and his colleagues in the Division of Spinal Surgery were hand-selected as just the second team in the world to perform a Vertical Expandable Prosthetic Titanium Rib (VEPTR) operation, a surgical procedure designed to treat major chest and rib abnormalities.
Fetal Heart Surgery
In 2001, Children's doctors completed the first successful fetal heart surgery in United States history. Since then, they have performed more than 50 of these procedures with increasing success, establishing Children's as one of the preeminent hospitals in the world for fetal heart surgeries.
Serial Transverse Enteroplasty (STEP)
In 2002, Children's doctors performed the world's first serial transverse enteroplasty (STEP) procedure, a surgical technique developed by Heung Bae Kim, MD and Tom Jaksic, MD, that lengthens the bowels of children with short bowel syndrome.
Weighing only 2.2 pounds, Angel Morales became a world first just four hours after birth when Children's cardiac surgeon Emile Bacha, MD, implanted a quarter-sized pacemaker, making him the smallest baby ever to undergo such an operation.
We are grateful to have been ranked #1 on U.S. News & World Report's list of the best children's hospitals in the nation for the third year in a row, an honor we could not have achieved without the patients and families who inspire us to do our very best for them. Thanks to you, Boston Children's is a place where we can write the greatest children's stories ever told."

My dog fell about a month ago suddenly when he tried to sprint and could'nt walk and his front legs were stiff as sticks
He is 3 years old mixed Labrador, he' small and has white eyes.
After the incident he tried to walk but kept falling over and it about 2 days to recover. He was in good condition, but yesterday he fell again when he tried to move quickly.
He don't eat dog food, in fact he doesn't like anything. My mom feeds him a sludge of milk wheat or bread daily with her hands to keep him alive.He occasionally eats cheese or egg.
He was very active when he was young. And before the incident he would occasionally scream out as if someone stepped on his feet( this happened 5-6 times).
And his hairs shed a lot.
Please reply if anyone knows what's his problem.

YOU NEED TO BRING THIS DOG TO A VET, NOW!! You are not providing enough nutrition and his hair is falling out because he is malnourished. When dogs come up lame it is a very bad sign, and he may need to be put to sleep. There is no dignity in watching a dog slowly die... get him some help PLEASE!! ^_^

Kilmeade criticizes Obama for "never call[ing]" HIG unit that was not "fully operational" to interrogate Abdulmutallab
Research ››› ››› DIANNA PARKER
On Fox & Friends, co-host Brian Kilmeade criticized President Obama for "never call[ing]" the "high value interrogation unit" following Northwest Airlines bombing suspect Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab's arrest. But in fact, as Director of National Intelligence Dennis Blair has acknowledged, the unit is not "fully operational"; moreover, it is not designed for use in the United States.
Kilmeade: Obama administration "never called" high value interrogation unit
From the February 4 edition of Fox News' Fox & Friends:
KILMEADE: But the problem is Time magazine did an interview with the National Intelligence Director Dennis Blair. At which time Dennis Blair said, I was never called and told. They have this thing called this high value interrogation unit that is supposed to be mobile and ready to go and talk to the would-be terrorist, the shoe bomber, the crotch bomber, whoever comes down the line immediately. That thing has never-they were never called.
CARLSON: Right, but President Obama no doubt signed off on that, and some of his close advisers, and I think that letter from Eric Holder yesterday could just be the beginning of the end of falling on the sword.
FACT: High-Value Detainee Interrogation Group not "fully operational" and not designed for cases on U.S. soil
Blair said that he believed High-Value Detainee Interrogation Group (HIG) "should have" been "invoke[d]." From Blair's January 20 Senate testimony (via Nexis) during questioning by Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME):
BLAIR: Senator Collins, I'd been a part of the deliberations which have established this high-value interrogation unit, which we started as part of the executive order as part of the decision to close Guantanamo. That unit was created exactly for this purpose -- to make a decision on whether a certain person who's detained should be treated as a case for federal prosecution or for some of the other means.
We did not invoke the HIG in this case; we should have. Frankly, we were thinking more of overseas people and, duh, you know, we didn't put it then. That's what we will do now, and so we need to make those decisions more carefully. I was not consulted. The decision was made on the scene, seemed logical to the people there, but it should have been taken, using this HIG format, at a higher level.
HIG not "fully operational." As Blair acknowledged in a subsequent statement, the HIG -- a proposed "specialized interrogation group" designed to "bring together the most effective and experienced interrogators and support personnel from across the Intelligence Community, the Department of Defense and law enforcement" to "interrogate the most dangerous terrorists" -- is not "fully operational." Indeed, Newsweek's Michael Isikoff reported: "Abdulmutallab couldn't possibly have been questioned by the HIG because the unit doesn't exist yet. The task force had recommended it be created to handle the questioning of 'high value' Qaeda leaders who might be captured overseas -- a criterion that clearly doesn't apply in Abdulmutallab's case. But the proposal is still being reviewed by the National Security Council, and the actual unit has not yet been created." [Newsweek, 1/20/10]
HIG reportedly not designed to have jurisdiction over suspects on U.S. soil. In a November 20, 2009, blog post on Fort Hood shooting suspect Army Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, The Washington Independent's Spencer Ackerman wrote: "[I]t is unlikely that the HIG would interview Hasan. Dean Boyd, a spokesman for the Justice Department's national security division, clarified that the new group is mandated to operate 'overseas only.' " Similarly, Isikoff wrote: "The task force had recommended it be created to handle the questioning of 'high value' Qaeda leaders who might be captured overseas -- a criterion that clearly doesn't apply in Abdulmutallab's case." Isikoff later added: "[S]ince Abdulmutallab was not a Qaeda leader, and was captured in Detroit, not overseas, the HIG wouldn't apply in any case, said the source, who worked closely on the proposal."

Riverside Tank, Dragon Bones
I've finally decided to AQUASCAPE a tank. All these years I've been raising jungle grow out tanks, no aquascaping to speak of.
The inspiration for this tank is from my fishing trips in rivers and lakes around Cincinnati. A couple of the plants in this tank are actually from the local area.
I'm going emersed right now. I'll add fish that will definitely tear up the hair grass so I want to give them a change to establish. And the established roots will hold the slopes together too.
tank: 75G
lights: 3 t5 HO, 2 rosettes, 1 daylight
substrate: flourite, mineralize soil, paver's sand
hardscape: black soap stones... The ph isn't affected but the GH will probably go up but what stone won't.
plant: dwarf hairgrass, giant hairgrass, ludwigia sp.
nice hard scape cant wait to see this tank develop
That's cool, and different. Can't wait to see this develop.
things are going ok, emersed. As expected, the hairgrass will take some time to transition. The old growth is dying off and new growth coming in. The ludwigia is doing good.
but I have no patience, so I planted what I have in my 5G tank. Yes, enough to fill in a 75G!. And filled in the tank.
The new additions are rotala green, c. wendtii bronze or red, and dwarf chain sword.
I'm waiting for the plants to grow in and watch the chain sword since they'll take over the tank and kill off the dwarf hairgrass.
Also, I'm experimenting with putting the outtake low in the tank to give the plants plenty of CO2.
Wow I really like those rocks!
That is a sick rockscape! I can't wait for this to grow in
I love the soap stone and how you stacked them. It looks like a natural formation. I saw you plan to add giant hair grass (GHG). I added mine to a dry start and it did well. Only thing I would recommend: If you want the GHG to stay localized, you should think of putting a barrier in the substrate - like a pot. They send out a lot of runners and they can travel a long way! I wish I had.
I'm hoping the GHG will mix well with the crypt. I'm following the ideas of flower arranging. Mixing plants are important and is rarely done in aquascaping. The key is to have a dominant plant and the mixed in plant acts as an accent.
Cool - is that what you are doing with the Ludwigia and the dwarf Hairgrass? I like how you spaced/ placed it. Looking forward to seeing this develop.
I was contemplating doing and iwagumi similar to this one a while back, with stacked sheets of sharp rock, if you can understand that.
Also, so happy you're using DHG and not somthing like HC or Glosso. I hope you stick with it untill it's a full carpet. There arn't nearly enough iwagumis that use DHG (that I've seen anyway).
SO BASICALLY, I hope you don't mind me living vicariously through your tank.
Love the rock formation!
Dude... I love your tank man. Looks freakn sweet with those rocks. Skillz! Can't wait to see it progress to maturity.
Plants are growing slowly. There's no algae issues so I guess things are going fine. I'm adding dry ferts too but I'm not measuring, a pinch here, a pinch there. There's plenty of CO2. The crypt is melting and growing new leaves.
oh, and added the fish that was in my 29G
7 r. espei
1 rummy nose
1 cherry barb
2 b. histrionica (digger)
1 rubber lip pleco (digger)
1 flying fox
The diggers are problematic in a mineralize soil tank for sure. However, they've only dug in their caves so the damage is minimal.
And I really dislike the flying fox but I'll have to live with it.
BEAUTIFUL! I love those rocks... wish they were mine. :)

During the history of Jewish people, in nation after nation, they have endured brutality and hatred. My grandfather was beaten by a mob as Russian troops stood by and laughed at the incident. Fast forward to Israel in the year of 2012 and discover how Jews in Israel are no different than the anti-Semites of Russia. A video released by the Israel group, B'Tselem, shows Jewish settlers marching to the Palestinian village of Yitzler while throwing stones and setting fires.
The video which is on Youtube depicts Jewish settlers with a pistol and a rifle who are firing at Palestinians while Jewish police and troops stand by watching the event. "The video footage raises grave accusations that the soldiers present did not act to prevent the settlers from throwing stones and firing live ammunition at the Palestinians."s
The settler organization responded to these accusations by arguing that soldiers arrived to prevent Palestinians from setting fire to their own village. Of course, the question is why are there Jewish settlers in a Palestinian village? There is no report of any Palestinian with a weapon in hand, but there is visual evidence of Jews with weapons firing upon Palestinians.
The bottom line is that Jewish settlers on the West Bank are no different than Cossacks who beat and killed Jews in Russia. Jews in Israel have met the enemy and he is them!

text: Perse Girls Senior School recently rolled out a one to one iPad project in their school in Cambridge UK, and this video from apple resellers, Square Group Ltd, shows how the iPad has transformed learning in their school. We liked how the students being interviewed described how the iPads in the classroom helped their learning (at 2m 40sec) and how the teachers felt the iPad had an effect on collaboration and teamwork in the classroom. It is great to see how education technology can transform a classroom, and see it being used in a practical way.

I cannot reproduce the error you indicate. If I paste your
function into a fresh kernel every execution produces the
expected result with no error message.
But what are you expecting to achieve with this code?
The If will always test False and consequently always does b = 0.
So, your code is will do exactly the same as
f[x_List]:= (Print[a=x[[1]];b=0;5)
and Compile cannot speed this up.

Transfer Case Actuator Motor Help... After gear replacement

Transfer Case Actuator Motor Help... After gear replacement
2005 e53 4.4i Auto ~99k miles
Initial problem: Started out with the classic trifecta of fault codes, DSC ABS & BRAKE and symptom of grating sound when I turn the vehicle off. Diagnosed as the transfer case actuator motor. I ordered a replacement gear and took the X5 to a local independent mechanic along with a DYI printout. After some persuasion they were able to get the motor apart to get to the gear which was definitely stripped. Everything went back together just fine.
Current problem: Now there is only one fault light which is an amber 4x4 indicating transfer case fault. Car runs fine. Just no AWD. ABS works fine. I think DSC requires AWD so not sure about DSC. Everything else seems fine with one exception of an occasional lurch forward when starting the vehicle. Mechanic said to take it to a dealer to get the fault code cleared and diagnosed further. I am concerned that the dealer will just say get a new TC.
I am looking for pointers. My experience with my local dealership is that they over diagnose things that the indy says is not an issue and want to throw on new parts and recommend service that is not needed. The problem is the the indy is stuck and do not have the right tool to reset or reprogram the TCA code or whatever that is required. HELP!

Kaufman, J.S., Arline T. Geronimus, and Sherman James. 2007. "Faulty interpretation of observed racial disparity in recurrent preterm birth." American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, 197(3): 327-327.
Kistka et al1 reported that black women in Missouri had a higher risk of preterm delivery and recurrent preterm delivery than white women and that these differences persisted after adjustment for some variables available from birth certificates. Aside from the statistical error of not accounting for clustering by the mother in the variance estimation, the analysis is unremarkable. What is problematic is the authors' interpretation. The adjusted odds ratio for black race represents the contrast conditioned on measured predictors and demonstrates a persistent excess risk for black women. This excess risk is caused by factors that were not measured, but the authors vigorously asserted that these unmeasured factors are most likely genetic.
This interpretation is fallacious because adjusting for some small set of crudely measured social or environmental variables does not imply that other variables from this general class are balanced across the racial groups.2 The argument is especially suspicious here because the modeled covariates were only those available from birth certificates. For example, social status was assessed only by dichotomized education and public assistance program participation. Arguing that conditioning on these few factors makes black and white women indistinguishable with respect to other important social exposures is not credible.
The authors based their assertions about the importance of genetic mechanisms primarily on results for recurrence. These results suggest only that the etiologically important unmeasured factors are stable over time, however, not that they are genetic. The authors' argument is reminiscent of earlier epidemiologic myths about ethnic differences, such as the assertion a century ago that tuberculosis was a genetic disease linked to the trait of red hair on the basis of its higher incidence among the Irish. The authors also ignored a substantial literature that contraindicates their proposed explanation. For example, multiple studies have found that the risk of adverse pregnancy outcome for black immigrants to the United States is comparable with that of native-born whites, not to native-born blacks.[3] and [4]
Imagine how preposterous it would be if, after having ruled out a few murder suspects named Bob, Fred, and Karl, a police detective were to declare triumphantly that the murderer must therefore have been a woman. Science would be better served if we made well-reasoned inferences about the effects of things we actually measured, rather than unfounded speculations about things that we did not measure.

Rita has been teasing fans with drawings and photos from her new line, which features five packs, each representing different styles.
Yesterday she posted a black and white picture of Twilight actress Kirsten Stewart in a jumper and printed jacket, writing: "Kirsten looking cute on a box with my @adidasoriginals and Rita collection jumper #unstoppable."
The collection launches today - exactly one year after she clinched the deal with the sports brand.Reuse content

From sinking boats to stupid swimmers, the Boat Race has had its fair share of controversy in its 160 year history.
In 2012, Australian Trenton Oldfield disrupted the 158th Boat Race by swimming into the path of both crews in a one man demonstration against Government cuts.
Oldfield was later jailed for six months for causing a public nuisance.
A decade earlier, umpire Rupert Obholzer brought the 2001 race to a stop after repeated warnings to both crews to move apart and then a clash of blades.
The blade of Cambridge bowman Colin Swainson dislodged from his hand, but Oxford was initially oblivious to the umpire's red flag and rowed on.
When the race was restarted, Cambridge was victorious, but the decision to stop and then restart the race remained controversial.
To date, there have been six sinkings - and on three occasions the result has been determined by that sinking (Cambridge sank in 1859 and 1978 and Oxford in 1925).
In 1912, both boats sank and the race was rescheduled for the following day, while in 1951 Oxford sank and the race was rescheduled for two days later, when Cambridge won.
There have also been a good few rebellions over the years.
In both 1959 and 1987, the race was tarnished by rebellions from Oxford athletes.
In 1959, there was a bid to oust Oxford University Boat Club President Ronnie Howard and coach Hugh "Jumbo" Edwards.
However, Cambridge refused to race any crew but Mr Howard's and, the rebellion put down, Oxford went on to win the race.
In 1987, five American athletes in the Oxford squad refuse to row for coach Dan Topolski or president Donald Macdonald following disagreements over selection and training methods.
As a result, the Dark Blues were forced to use oarsmen from the reserve team to make up the numbers - but despite this setback, they still crossed the finish line first.

The NFL Says Goodbye to the Polaroid, Hello to Microsoft's Surface TabletBy
Soon, NFL players will have a better way to see what happened on the last play than tilting their heads back to check out the scoreboard.
The National Football League today announced a partnership with Microsoft, through which coaches and officials will use Microsoft's Surface tablets on the sidelines, potentially replacing coaches' laminated playbooks and Polaroid images used by quarterbacks to figure out what went wrong on that last interception. The partnership also includes plans to use the Surface and next-generation Xbox game console for interactive viewing experiences for fans.
Giving coaches and officials access to tablet computers seems like an obvious step for the league, which, after all, exists in the 21st century. But the NFL has a Luddite streak. Over the last several seasons, many teams have begun using iPads as playbooks during practice, but they had to leave the devices behind on game day. According to league rules, any device that can record or play video cannot be used during pregame preparations or the game itself, nor can "any type of computer." Coaches and players are allowed to view photographs, but binoculars are banned from the sidelines.
Technophobia is not unique to football. Professional soccer and baseball have lagged even further behind on instant replay.
In part, the NFL says its resistance to new technology is meant to ensure competitive balance, so that teams with better IT departments don't gain an unfair advantage. But the league has been deliberate in moving forward because it recognized that a contract to bring digital technology to its sidelines would be a lucrative business opportunity. The NFL said the deal with Microsoft was 18 months in the making. It's worth $400 million over five years, according to a person with direct knowledge of the partnership who was not authorized to speak on the record.
As NFL technological shifts go, the change ranks up there with radio headsets in quarterbacks' helmets and video instant replay. "We would make sure that it worked, and if that means changing the rules to account for innovation on the sidelines, we would do that," Brian Rolapp, the chief operating officer for the NFL's media arm, says of incorporating the Microsoft products. Rolapp would not give a timeline for when the devices will show up on the sidelines but said the league hoped to have things up and running by this coming season.
No word on when they'll stop measuring first downs by trotting out guys dangling a chain between a couple of sticks.

Filed under: Car Buying, Sedan, Cadillac, Luxury
The redesigned 2014 Cadillac CTS will be more powerful, stylish and luxurious than its predecessor, but it will also be much more expensive. With a new starting price of $46,025 (*including $925 for destination), the 2014 CTS represents a price increase of more than $7,000 compared to the 2013 model, but it should be more appropriately sized and equipped to take on rivals like the BMW 5 Series and Mercedes-Benz E-Class, which start at $47,800 and $51,900, respectively.
Available trim levels - referred to as Collections - include Luxury, Performance and Premium, offering either a 2.0-liter turbocharged inline four-cylinder or a 3.6-liter V6 and the choice of either rear- or all-wheel-drive configurations. For more performance, the all-new CTS Vsport model will have an asking price of $59,995. This 420-horsepower model is more powerful than both the BMW 550i and Mercedes E550 and about $2,000 less expensive than both.
There's still no word on what Cadillac has in store for a next-gen CTS-V sedan, but we're guessing power and price will both rise considerably.
