Maybe the real answer is that you put walreceiver in the > wrong place, and it ought to be under src/bin/. That feels even more wrong to me. Walreceiver is a postmaster subprocess, tightly integrated with the rest of the backend. One can argue that it shouldn't be, and walreceiver process should call libpq through some new API, and the builtin implementation of that API which uses libpq would be a loadable module that could be in src/bin/ or contrib. Greg Stark requested that earlier. But I don't want to start designing such an API at this point. -- Heikki Linnakangas EnterpriseDB http://www.enterprisedb.com

HIV-associated thrombocytopenia
From MedicineWiki
In 1982, Morris et al reported on autoimmune thrombocytopenic purpura in patients at risk of acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) [1]. Since then, much has been learned about this disorder and its association with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). In fact, in the absence of AIDS, the prevalence of thrombocytopenia in HIV-infected individuals ranges from 5-15% and appears to be independent of the clinical or immunological status of the patient [2].
Mechanism of HIV-associated Thrombocytopenia
The exact mechanism of development of thrombocytopenia is still nebulous. HIV-related thrombocytopenia demonstrates both similarities and differences with classical autoimmune thrombocytopenic purpura. It appears that autoantibodies, non-specific immune complexes, and or complement deposition, may all be involved in the etiology of HIV-related thrombocytopenia [3].
Treatment of HIV-associated Thrombocytopenia
The similarity of HIV-associated thrombocytopenia and immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) contributed to the tendency to use corticosteroids as the initial therapy [3]. However, little over half of the patients treated with corticosteroids responded, and their increase in platelet count was not sustained after prednisone was stopped [3]. Because of this disappointing clinical response, poor tolerance of the steroid regimen, and the potential risk of increased immune deficiency, steroids are being increasingly avoided as initial therapy for HIV-related thrombocytopenia [4].
Anti-retroviral therapy with AZT in patients with HIV-associated thrombocytopenia has been noted to result in significant and persistent increase in platelet count [5]. This led to the conclusion that antiretroviral therapy is the treatment of choice for thrombocytopenia related to HIV infection [3].
Intravenous polyvalent high-dose immunoglobulin therapy is usually effective in the treatment of HIV-related thrombocytopenia, with a rapid but transient clinical response [6]. A course of 1-2 grams/kg for 2-5 days usually increases the platelet count to 'safe' levels within 3-8 days [7].
In terms of surgical treatment, splenectomy appears to be associated with excellent initial results, with complete or partial response noted in nearly 86% of patients [3]. In terms of long-term outcomes, complete response was seen in 70% of patients in one study, with 90% of patients remaining asymptomatic after surgery [3]. Splenectomy for HIV-related thrombocytopenia may be associated with increased risk of overwhelming post-splenectomy infection (OPSI). This risk may be decreased by pneumococcal, meningococcal, and hemophilus vaccination [3]. In addition, some authors recommend a prolonged course of prophylactic oral antibiotics in this patient population [3].

Lighting Tips
A general rule to keep in mind when decorating a room is to place table lamps wherever reading or other task work will be taking place. However, when decorating rooms with non-specific lighting needs, try placing table lamps of differing heights and light outputs throughout the space to create layering. It's a great way to add visual interest to a room, especially when you select table lamps with specific styles and designer shades. Table lamps with 3-way sockets that use 3-way bulbs are an easy way to achieve this look, as you can customize their light output to suit your mood or social event.

Will It Take a Child's Death to Ban M-44s?
We asked Congress in person, joining Idaho family who lost dog (and almost a child) to M-44 "cyanide bomb"; legislation introduced
14-year-old Canyon from Idaho with
his best friend Kasey in one of their
favorite spots--behind Canyon's
back yard, where he accidentally
triggered an M-44 on March 16, 2017.
It killed his dog in front of him.
Read Canyon's first-hand account
Roxy Marie, an 8-year old Wyoming
girl, holds photo of her dearly loved
dog Abby, killed with another dog
on March 11, 2017 by an M-44 while
family was walking on the prairie.
Read family's harrowing account
June 20, 2017 update - In March three dogs were killed by M-44 "cyanide bombs" in Wyoming and Idaho. In both cases children were present and put at grave risk of poisoning. This is beyond unacceptable. We've been working since 1990 to end atrocities like these.
Wyoming victims | Idaho victims
M-44s are indiscriminate sodium cyanide ejectors set by USDA Wildlife Services agents and local wildlife agencies for "predator control." We believe there is no justifiable excuse for the use of M-44s. It is insane to set poison traps in the great outdoors.
About M-44s | Fact sheet | Diagram
In our work we've pressured for a nationwide ban on M-44s collaborating with Rep. Peter DeFazio (D-Oreg.). We're pleased to announce that DeFazio introduced the newest legislation we've been working on in Congress on Mar. 30, 2017. The bill is called H.R. 1817, "The Chemical Poisons Reduction Act of 2017. It would ban both lethal M-44 sodium cyanide devices and Compound 1080, which are used unnecessarily by government wildlife agents for predator control.
In June we traveled to Washington, D.C., with the Mansfield family from Pocatello, ID, who lost their dog and almost their child to an M-44 (pictured above left).
What we need now is your help to get this legislation passed into law. This is a nonpartisan, public safety issue, and there honestly are no valid arguments against banning wildlife poisons.

Feds kill wolf in Wallowa County on
private land with cyanide trap -
The Oregonian, Mar. 2, 2017
March 2017 - Just how many animals need to die a horrible death before people realize it is insane to set poison traps in the great outdoors?
A wolf died a cruel death in Oregon on Feb. 26, 2017 because of a device set on private land by federal agents from the egregiously misnamed program within the USDA called "Wildlife Services."
We've been working with U.S. Rep. Peter DeFazio (D-Oreg.) for decades to ban wildlife poisons like the M-44 sodium cyanide ejector. These indiscriminate devices also endanger pets and people.
M-44s are an outrage, and taxpayers fund their use. This travesty must be put to an end. And it will be if enough of us speak out and demand it. We are currently working on new legislation to ban M-44s and will keep you posted. Learn how you can help

Washington has over one million cows
and barely 90 wolves. But wolves
are being killed to protect cows?!
Help us reform their wolf policies.
SPECIAL UPDATE - Between August-October 2016 seven members of Washington's Profanity Peak wolf pack in pristine Colville National Forest were killed by state agents to protect cattle grazing in the wolves' known territory. The killings are an outrage for a myriad of reasons and public outcry was intense.
Washington has long been thought of as a progressive state when it comes to wolf management. Not any more. These wolves were brutally blasted by shotgun from a helicopter or trapped, simply for being themselves. They were also sold out by several large environmental groups on Washington's Wolf Advisory Group.
The hunt for the remaining adult female and three pups continued until it was finally called off on Oct. 21, due to the rancher's cattle being removed from their seasonal grazing allotment, as planned. To most people, the hunt being called off sounded like great news, but it only means the remaining four wolves should be spared death over the next few months. Once the cattle are returned to graze next year, all bets are off. The wolves will then be killed if they attack any cows. This is NOT OK.
The Underlying Travesty Has Not Been Addressed: It's a Set Up
The killings are an outrage for a myriad of reasons. Wolves are being continually set up to be slaughtered by the combination of Washington State's wolf policy and federal public land grazing allotments. Ranchers bring their cows to graze on pristine public land, which displaces the wolves' natural prey, deer and elk. So the wolves get hungry and turn to cattle as prey. And after a certain number of cows are attacked or killed, the state gets the go-ahead to kill the wolves. The cost to taxpayers so far is well over $100,000.
It is our firm belief that vital apex predators like wolves should not be killed in their natural homes, all to help ranchers continue to externalize their business costs on the taxpayers' dime. Read more in our featured Seattle Times' op-ed:"More wolves killed because of the sacred cow at the public trough."
We immersed ourselves in protesting this appalling slaughter and it's underpinnings. We blasted Facebook and Twitter, rallied in Olympia, met with the governor's policy staff, submitted official comments at the WAG/WDFW public meeting, and continued to work behind the scenes.
We also co-authored a letter to Wayne Pacelle, CEO of the Humane Society of the United States. Amazingly, HSUS was part of the Wolf Advisory Group that "authorized removal" of the wolves. We urged HSUS to take a public position opposing it now. HSUS responded on Sept. 10. We still weren't satisfied, so our conversation continues. Details
How You Can Help
- Send Governor Inslee an e-message or call him at 360-902-4111 and ask him to use his influence to stop all killing of wolves on public lands. Let him know the majority are against the killing, as well as public lands "welfare ranching," and that Washington's policies need to change accordingly. Telling him in your own words what you think makes a bigger impact.
- Spread the word to everyone you know who cares about wolves, wildlife and public lands.

Idaho is the national poster child
for wolf killing. And they are
completely ignoring the best
available science. Help us stop them.
June 1, 2016 - Today we filed suit with five other groups to stop the federal government's illegal and scientifically egregious slaughter of wolves in Idaho.
Our suit seeks to halt all federal wolf control and killing activities being performed in Idaho until the agency doing the killing—USDA Wildlife Services— completes an updated, valid Environmental Impact Statement. The suit declares that Wildlife Services has not only completely ignored the best available science, but also failed to comply with the National Environmental Policy Act.
Read press release | Legal complaint
In the last five years since wolves lost federal protection, Idaho has become the national poster child for wolf-killing. Before delisting in 2011, Idaho had the largest wolf population in the Rockies, at approximately 1,000. Idaho is now the biggest wolf-killing state in the Lower 48. Hunters and trappers have killed over 1,500, and hundreds more have been killed by government and private sources. Idaho's Governor wants to bring the total wolf population down to 150, a scientifically egregious and socially heinous goal.
At present, wolves in Idaho are not able to perform their essential ecosystem services as apex predators. They are under such tremendous pressure from federal agents gunning them down from helicopters—let alone hunters and trappers—that they are performing almost no ecosystem services at all. They are living in social chaos and running for their lives. This must stop. And this case marks an important first step—going after the federal government's ecological misbehavior.
Attorneys from Advocates for the West and Western Watersheds Project are representing us and the other co-plaintiffs, who include WildEarth Guardians, Friends of the Clearwater, and Center for Biological Diversity. We're also pleased to report that this case is in good company: It joins the 2015 Washington lawsuit, which we won, and the current Oregon lawsuit, filed in February 2016.

Celebrating 25 Years by Expanding Scope
2016 - In these harrowing 21st century times we need the wild, the solace of nature, more than ever before. And it has never been harder to find, or under broader attack.
Our nation's maligned predator species—wolves, cougars, coyotes and more—play a vital role in our vanishing wild lands and in the health of our planet. They also have so much to teach us. For example, they do not reproduce more than the environment can support. Imagine if humans could follow suit!
Our mission has always been to protect native predators and to help people learn to coexist with them. But predators continue to be slaughtered at record levels in most states, all under the guise that we need to control their populations. Meanwhile, the best available science says the OPPOSITE is true!
There are places where wildlife is treated admirably. Over 80 countries and eight U.S. states have banned or severely restricted trapping. Costa Rica has banned hunting completely. California has not allowed cougar hunting for nearly 40 years. So there is reason for hope, particularly if enough of us demand our leaders start making bolder and wiser decisions. But they will only do that if they know enough of us insist on change.
In America's current wildlife management system, agency funding and commission appointments are primarily "sourced" from hunting and ranching interests, who are ignoring science and the public will. This means the killing of wildlife remains big business, plain and simple. And we have recently been alarmed to see relatively progressive states like Oregon taking giant steps backward.
So, in addition to our ongoing focus on reforming the federal Wildlife Services program, we need to demand reform of the outdated state wildlife management agencies. In 2016 we will kick these efforts into high gear. Stay tuned...

Americans "EXPOSED" to War on Wildlife
Dec. 2015 - Our primary focus for 2015 was getting as many people as possible to watch and share our whistle-blowing documentary, "EXPOSED: USDA's Secret War on Wildlife." This award-winning short film features three former federal agents and a Congressman blowing the whistle on Wildlife Services--a barbaric, wasteful and misnamed agency within the USDA--and expose the governments secret war on wildlife on the taxpayer's dime.
We worked hard to spread the word around the country. On June 15 we took "EXPOSED" to Washington, D.C., and held a Congressional screening and panel discussion for an unprecedented standing-room-only crowd from both sides of the aisle. We also screened it in Oregon, California, Nevada, Massachusetts, Maine, Vermont, and New York. And we screened it a total of six times in Idaho, the Ground Zero of wildlife killing in America.
"EXPOSED" received a rave review from none other than Jane Goodall. It also won Best Short at the 2015 Animal Film Festival, and Best Wildlife Activism at the 2014 Wildlife Conservation Film Festival, the premier wildlife film festival in North America.

Help Us Stop America's Wolf Slaughter
Help us reform the state government
agencies charged with "managing"
wolves. They are actually
sanctioning their slaughter.
Between April 2011, when wolves lost federal endangered species protection, and April 2016, over 4,200 wolves were slaughtered in just five states. This is truly tragic, and we have been taking the government to task for their flawed and biased plan to further remove protections for the gray wolf across the nation.
We are not alone in our thinking. In 2014 an independent peer review panel rejected the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service's delisting proposal, saying it is not supported by the best available science and would be premature.
Leaked documents reveal cover-up of animal abuse investigation in USDA's Wildlife Services agency
"Final" report withheld from both the public and Congress
In June 2013 we learned that—despite a specific request last November by Congressmen Peter DeFazio (D-OR) and John Campbell (R-CA) for the results of the investigation into allegations of animal cruelty by a federal trapper—officials at Wildlife Services withheld their "final" report from the public and Congress.
In fact, they told the Congressmen that the report did not exist. See Tweet from Congressman Campbell
In addition, the leaked documents show that after Wildlife Services exonerated the trapper from any wrongdoing, they started asking questions internally about specific violations he had actually committed.
For several years we've been the driving force behind a nationwide push for a Congressional oversight hearings on Wildlife Services and reform of the agency. We've also been working with Tom Knudson, a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist from the Sacramento Bee, on an in-depth exposé of their out-of-control "predator control" program.

Bobcat Rescued from Illegal Snare
Meet the bobcat
Freedom and the
man who released him from the strangling
snare, Brooks Fahy, our executive director.
In the course of our work we often receive calls about animals caught in traps. In 2012 we received a call about a bobcat caught in an illegally set strangling snare on private property. We immediately rushed to the location and found an adult male bobcat caught around the torso. He had been trapped for about 12 hours.
Fortunately we got there in time to save his life by restraining him and cutting him free. We were rewarded by his immediate race for freedom, and—amazingly—we caught all this on video. Our footage will be an important tool in bringing about essential trapping reform and we will be sharing it broadly.

Maggie's Death: A Crime
Read Maggie's story and watch our
video interview with Maggie's family,
the McCurtains. You'll see the lovely
suburban neighborhood where this
deadly trap was illegally placed by
Wildlife Services. If this could happen
here, it could happen anywhere.
Family's border collie strangled to death in trap near yard
In a pristine suburb of Portland, OR, a family's border collie named Maggie was killed by a deadly trap set in a community common area just 45 feet from their back yard. This is an area where kids play. This trap could have easily injured or killed a child.
No compliant warning signs were posted, nor were instructions for removing the trap or whom to call for help. The trap's placement violated both Oregon state law and the internal directives of Wildlife Services, the government agency responsible. This crime was committed with the help of your tax dollars.
Read Maggie's story and learn how you can help the family honor Maggie and protect others from similar tragedy.
The USDA's War on Wildlife
Your Tax Dollars at Work
The USDA Wildlife Services predator control program is the only federal program that kills native predators at the request of ranchers and state wildlife management agencies.

Thursday, 15 August, 2002, 11:37 GMT 12:37 UK
It wasn't our fault!
As news of Manchester United's shock defeat in Hungary reverberated around Europe, there was only one question on everyone's minds.
What excuse would Sir Alex Ferguson give this time?
It's a well-known fact that United never actually lose games, but are the victims of a cunning, worldwide conspiracy.
That's Fergie's story - and he's sticking to it.
Having said that, for a few fleeting moments, it actually looked like the canny Scot was going to take the 1-0 reverse to Zalaegerszeg on the chin.
"They had one attack and scored one goal. But we only have ourselves to blame," he began - as viewers waited for the Do Not Adjust Your Set message to appear.
Thankfully, normal service was resumed as soon as possible, with Sir Alex continuing: "The pitch was very bumpy which is possibly a reason for the (lack of) smoothness of our passing."
Brilliant! In fact why not go one better and ban any team whose average player earns less than £20,000 a week from hosting matches?
That way everyone would start on a level playing field.
Mind you, even the hallowed turf at Old Trafford has received the hair-dryer treatment from the great man.
When United were bundled out of the FA Cup by West Ham last year, Ferguson complained there had been too much rugby played on the pitch.
He also insisted the referee had not played enough injury time - unlike the 1999 European Cup Final, of course.
In fact, the only thing Sir Alex neglected to mention about that fateful January afternoon was Fabien Barthez's ridiculous taxi-hailing impression, which let in Paolo di Canio for the winning goal.
Time is always of the essence for Ferguson. If United are losing, the referee should add it on, if they're winning, he should blow his whistle.
You can guarantee as a game enters the 89th minute with United hanging on to a one-goal advantage, Fergie will start pointing furiously at his timepiece.
You could almost set your watch by it.
The officials themselves also come in for a torrid time if United lose or have a player sent off.
And in 1996, Fergie infamously accused the entire Leeds team of not trying against Newcastle, prompting Kevin Keegan's legendary "loov it" rant.
Six months later, Newcastle took their revenge with a 5-0 walloping of United, whose players were subsequently diagnosed as "jet-lagged" by Dr Ferguson.
But of all the excuses he has proferred over the years, one stands head and shoulders above the rest. In fact, it's in a different league.
Cast your mind back to 1996, when United visited Southampton for a league match.
The Red Devils found themselves 3-0 down at half-time and eventually went on to lose the match 3-1.
And the reason? According to Fergie, the grey shirts his men were wearing meant they were unable to see one another.
You couldn't make it up.
Naturally, the strip was immediately replaced with a new design, forcing fans to shell out a fortune for replica kits.
Some things never change.
Fergie's harsh reality

Probate is the legal process used to carry out a person's will after their death; a probate attorney advises you on how to perform the steps in the process. In general, once you have identified and collected the dead person's belongings, including their money, property, and other assets, you pay the person's debts and taxes. Once all debts have been paid, you distribute their money and property according to the language of the will. If there is no will, the laws of the state where the dead person lived control how the property is distributed. A probate attorney helps you plan what happens to your property when you die, as they can probate wills and act as your probate court estate representative. A probate attorney also represents family members and beneficiaries wishing to challenge wills.

If you're scoring at home, you might have noticed that the Chicago Bulls have beaten the New York Knicks three times. In each case, they followed a win against the Knicks with a loss.
They have also beaten the Knicks twice at Madison Square Garden this year. In the first instance, this was followed by one blowout loss the next day and another one after some time off.
Let us hope the pattern does not hold this time.
The Bulls have only seen the Atlanta Hawks once this year. That was actually the blowout loss immediately following the first Knicks road win, when the Bulls went to Atlanta and got spanked by the Hawks, 92-75.
The Hawks are definitely a solid team. Led by Josh Smith and Al Horford inside, they're one of the few teams in the East that can reasonably expect to match the Bulls in terms of size. They also have better guards and a better bench. That spells trouble, especially considering that the Bulls have struggled at home this year.
This matchup features a pair of intriguing individual matchups. Horford and Joakim Noah were college teammates and back-to-back National Champions at Florida and always seem to relish going against each other. Horford tends to get the best of Noah, so we'll see if that changes.
The other interesting part of this game is that Jeff and Marquis Teague get to face each other. Marquis may not play much, but that the two of them get to go at it like that is still cool.
Key Matchup: Al Horford v. Joakim Noah
Aside from their being former teammates, they are probably also their respective team's most important players, at least offensively. If Noah's off his game, it's really hard for the Bulls to score. He'll need to step up for the Bulls to have a shot.Tags: Al Horford, Atlanta Hawks, Chicago, Chicago Bulls, Joakim Noah, Marquis Teague, NBA, New York Knicks

CALHOUN - Melissa Peeler will be able to keep custody of her children but will have to undergo counseling for the next year, a judge ruled Friday.
Peeler's children were abducted by their father, Jerry Jones, 31, after he allegedly killed four relatives in Gordon County. The children had lived with Peeler until November, when she surrendered custody to her parents and began training as a truck driver.
Peeler said she is now working at an auto parts store, has purchased a used car and moved her family into an apartment.
''My whole life is focused on the girls and what I have to do to give them a good home,'' said Peeler, who takes the girls to a counselor three times per week.
Thirty witnesses were subpoenaed for Friday's hearing, but none testified because Peeler's attorney and attorneys for the state made a recommendation to Juvenile Judge Lane Bearden, which he accepted.
Peeler's sister, her parents and 10-month-old daughter Jerri were killed Jan. 7 at the parents' property in Ranger.
When Jones was arrested in Tennessee, the three girls - 10, 4 and 3 - had been with him about 30 hours. Police said Jones shot himself in the head and that his blood spattered two of the girls, who were in the back seat. Jones is in a prison hospital in Augusta awaiting indictment
Witnesses had been expected to present as evidence a file documenting several instances of abuse. The file, obtained by The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, shows allegations that the children were abused while they lived with Peeler and Jones in Floyd County. The allegations were reported by teachers, day care workers, neighbors, Peeler's family and once by a court official.
The reports range from an infant's unchecked diaper rash to complaints by Peeler's mother that ''all of the children were nasty and had an odor,'' to concerns of Peeler's neighbors that the children were ''living on potato chips and candy bars.''
Peeler has denied those allegations, saying she is ''a good mother and anybody who says otherwise is just wrong.''
In November, when Peeler sent the children to live with her parents in adjacent Gordon County, Floyd County wrongly closed its file on the family because Peeler still lived in Floyd County, according to the state report.
Peeler, 27, left Jones on Jan. 2 and was in Oregon when she got word about the slayings.
As Peeler prepared this week for the hearing, she said her memory of the years with Jones was sketchy.

That said, I don't see the fire competing directly with the iPad anyway. Most of the people buying the fire were simply in the market for a much cheaper tablet. They would likely not have purchased the thing in the first place if it wasn't so insanely cheap. Personally, I don't see Apple dropping the price of the iPad nearly enough to sway potential kindle buyers at all.
And I'm not saying that because I'm an apple fan boy, I have a HP touchpad (with android dual boot) and I had an HTC phone before I got my iPhone. The only reason I got my iPhone is I was tired of applications not working on my phone due to its hardware and screen resolution. Also due to the promised gingerbread update that never happened.
iOS is in no way perfect, but it's a damn site better than android at the moment (in my opinion) maybe when fragmentation is sorted out (which ice cream sandwich is making worse) I will give it another chance
Wrong. Apple has never lost a dime on anything. They have never changed the price of their product in any way. You are mistakenly thinking of the carriers offering subsidized deals to make their money back when they bought the phones from apple. How much are the phones on the APPLE SITE where Apple sells them? Right.
Refurbs shouldn't be cheaper? THey are reselling USED items. Of course they are cheaper.

This chart from the International Institute for Strategic Studies—part of the think tank's recent report, "Military Balance 2012," more or less speaks for itself.

Webb Telescope sunshield passes launch depressurization tests to verify flight designOctober 11, 2010
NASA's James Webb Space Telescope continues to make significant progress, successfully completing a series of sunshield vent tests that validate the telescope's sunshield design.
"While adequate venting is a design consideration for all spaceflight hardware, this was a particularly unique challenge for the sunshield given the large volume of trapped air in the membrane system at launch," said Keith Parrish, Webb telescope sunshield manager at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md. "From the beginning of its development venting features have been a critical part of the overall sunshield design. Since we cannot vent test the actual flight article these test have shown the design works and the sunshield will vent safely on its way to orbit."
The sunshield on the Webb telescope will block the heat of the Sun and Earth from reaching the cold section of the Observatory. That's a critical function because the telescope and instruments must be cooled below 50 Kelvin (~-369.7 Fahrenheit) to allow them to see faint infrared emissions from astronomical objects. The sunshield consists of five layers of Kapton ®E with aluminum and doped-silicon coatings to reflect the sun's heat back into space.
Using flight-like sunshield membranes, the tests are designed to mimic the rapid change in air pressure the folded sunshield will experience the first minutes of launch. Several different folding configurations each underwent a series of 90-second depressurization tests and proved that the stowed sunshield will retain its shape during launch and allow trapped air to escape safely, both critical to sunshield deployment and performance.
Northrop Grumman Corporation is leading Webb's design and development effort for NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md. The first tests were conducted the last week of August in vacuum chambers at Northrop Grumman Aerospace Systems' Redondo Beach facility. Another series of complementary tests were completed in October where air was injected into the stowed sunshield test article, and that provided more detailed data used in evaluating analytical models.
"This is another significant risk reduction activity that continues to move sunshield development forward," said Scott Willoughby, Webb Telescope program manager for Northrop Grumman Aerospace Systems. "We have demonstrated the effectiveness of our sunshield vent design."
Three critical full-scale sections of the sunshield were tested: the section on top of the spacecraft around the tower that supports the telescope; the vertical pallet structure that contains the folded sunshield membranes, and the intervening four-bar linkage area that is folded in an inverted V-shape. The flow paths are complex and the sunshield material, a tough plastic film, Kapton ®E, is only one to two thousandths of an inch thick and covers a surface area the size of a tennis court.

Workout of the Day, 4.14.13
If you've ever been to CROGA, you know… breathing is VERY important. You can try this simple stretch/breathing drill to know more about how you should feel in the set-up for the deadlift (breathe in to your belly so that you feel your belly expand on to your thighs) and in general, for pretty much every other lift there is. Not knowing how to breathe when you lift is a lot like not knowing how to breathe while swimming – it's VERY important and should be thought of as a skill!

The Boston Celtics will open the 2012-2013 NBA season tonight at 8 p.m. when they take on the Miami Heat at Miami's American Airlines Arena. In the grand scheme of things the game does not mean much. It is game one of an 82 game season. However opening night is often a good indicator of how a matchup will play out down the road. When teams meet in the regular season fans are never sure how much stock to place on the result. One team might be on the second night of a back to back. One team might have injuries. One team might just have a really bad game. Teams, or at least players, do take nights off over the course of the year. Sometimes players coast, but everyone wants to win on opening night. It's the closest thing to playoff intensity that the regular season has to offer. Every team wants to come out and show that they are going to be a force this year. The game itself doesn't matter all that much, but this the first of their four regular season meetings will give fans a good idea of how these two teams matchup heading into this year, so there are a number of things to watch for.
Can Miami Slow Down Rondo
Miami hasn't had much trouble with the rest of the league since Lebron James came to South Beach. However, while they have bested the Celtics in the playoffs the past two years, if there is one team out there that has Miami's number it's Boston, and that is primarily because the Heat have never found a way to slow down Rajon Rondo. The Heat beat Boston in 2011 in large part because Rondo blew out his elbow. In 2012 they never found an answer for him, but the rest of the squad was so depleted by injury that Boston wilted in Game Seven despite Rondo's efforts. Rondo has historically owned the Heat. He killed them in the postseason and took a team that wasn't half as deep as Miami's to within one quarter of beating them. Celtic fans have to assume that if he had just a little more support around him last year it would have been Boston, not Miami, facing Oklahoma City in the finals. Some of the best games of Rondo's career have come against Miami, and until they find a way to slow him down coach Erik Spoelstra is in for a bunch more sleepless nights.
Courtney Lee's Defense
Newly acquired shooting guard Courtney Lee is holding down Boston's starting shooting guard position at present. However it is unclear whether he will continue starting once the incumbent Avery Bradley returns from shoulder surgery. A lot of this depends on defense. One of the reasons the Celtics like Bradley with the starting five is his defense, particularly his defense on Dwyane Wade. When Bradley was healthy Boston felt confident that he could actually guard Wade one on one, allowing them to focus even more of their attention on stopping James. However when Bradley had to have surgery a gimpy Ray Allen had to guard the Miami star. This was a really tall order for Ray, who isn't a great defender at the best of times, and was further hampered by bone spurs in his ankles. As a result Boston had no choice but to send more double teams at Wade. They still did a decent job slowing him down, but one has to feel that if Bradley were healthy the Heat would have had a much harder time on offense. Like Bradley Lee also has the ability to be an excellent defender. He has already improved dramitically in his short time in Boston. If he can provide a similar level of defensive excellence he has a better shot of holding on to the starting gig once Bradley returns. Otherwise Bradley's stellar perimeter D will have him back with the starters.
Can Jeff Green Guard Lebron James?
One of the reasons Celtic GM Danny Ainge pulled the trigger on the Kendrick Perkins-Jeff Green deal back in 2011 was because he saw the Miami Heat and New York Knicks as bigger threats than the Orlando Magic. That is to say he thought that Perkins' ability to guard Dwight Howard was not as valuable as Green's ability to guard Lebron James and Carmelo Anthony. The idea was, particularly after Marquis Daniels went down with a spinal injury, that the Celtics really needed another wing player who could guard guys like James and Anthony the way James Posey did for the 2008 championship team. The plan didn't really work out. The team was emotionally crushed by Perkins' departure making it extremely difficult for Green to find his feet with the squad. He had some moments of quality defense in the playoffs against Lebron and 'Melo, but never with any kind of consistency. Then of course Green was forced to miss the entire 2012 season due to heart surgery. The Celtics tried to get by with Mickael Pietrus, who despite committing some silly fouls also had his moments against Lebron. However he was battling a knee injury and thus didn't have any sustained success either. Going into this year with a healthy Green the Celtics finally feel like they actually have a guy who can guard Lebron one on one. Anyone who watched the preseason knows what he can do on the offensive end. Now he needs to prove his worth on the defensive side of the ball. He has the ability, but statistics indicate that he actually hasn't been a great defender over the course of his career. This is probably due to the fact that he has spent so much time guarding fours when he is really a three, but whatever the reason Green has a lot to prove on defense. If he can slow Lebron down then the Celtics have three people in Green, Paul Pierce, and Brandon Bass, that they can throw at the reigning MVP. None of them will stop him, but if they can keep him on the perimeter and force him into some low percentage shots the Celtics will feel good about their chances against Miami. However if James abuses Green that places more burden on Pierce and Bass, and the Celtics are back to square one.
Who Starts at the Four?
For much of the preseason rookie Jared Sullinger started at the power forward position for Boston. This came as quite a surprise since Celtic coach Doc Rives has been loath to even play rookies in previous years let alone start them. It was even more surprising given that the C's had just handed Bass, the incumbent starter, a three year contract extension in the offseason. Initially most fans simply thought that Doc was experimenting. Now it seems like there is actually a real possibility that Sullinger opens the season in the starting unit, but it is still very much an unknown. Both Sullinger and Bass have had good preseasons which makes the decision particularly difficult. Bass is the better defender and one of the best midrange shooters in all of basketball, a big deal in Boston considering that Rondo can get him that shot whenever he feels like it. However Sullinger is the superior rebounder, an area of extreme weakness for the C's since Perkins' departure. In Celtics101's view this should tip the scale in Sullinger's favor. Bass has the ability at 6'8" and 260 lbs to be an excellent rebounder, but Sullinger already is. The Celtics don't have time to wait for Bass to improve his rebounding. If he can become a 10 plus boards per game guy overnight then he should start. He actually could do it. He has had plenty 10 plus nights before. All he needs to do is make it his focus area. However If it doesn't happen then the C's are better of with Sullinger. They need a guy who can control the boards and Sullinger has that inate ability. Bass' defense is solid and his shooting is all well and good, but the C's need rebounding more than anything.
What Happens With Ray?
This is a loaded question. Will Ray and Rondo shake hands before the game? Will KG even acknowledge his former BFF? Will Ray have something to say to Doc after Doc chucked dirt on him on his way out of town? What happens when the game gets going? Will there be fireworks? These are all legitimate questions and reasons to tune in to TNT at 8 p.m. However bigger question is "how will the Heat use Ray?" Part of the reason why Ray left Boston was because he wasn't happy with his role on the team. Has Miami really found a better role for him or did Pat Riley just pull the wool over his eyes? Is Ray just going to be another one of Miami's seemingly endless number of guys who stand in the corner shooting threes? Or is he actually going to get significant minutes with the starters and the chance to handle the ball? Is he going to start? One of the reasons we at Celtics101 were upset that Ray left for Miami was because the idea of a Chalmers-Allen-Wade-James-Bosh starting five was absolutely terrifying. It seems unlikely that the Heat would go that way, but this is the same team that started Shane Battier at power forward during last years playoffs, so they have done stranger things before. We at Celtics101 have no idea how the Heat plan on using Ray. We will just have to watch to find out.Tags: Basketball, Boston, Boston Celtics, NBA

2003 Malibu: V6..cranking but wont start at all..throttle body
Customer Question
2003 Malibu 3.1L V6 cranking but no start problem started on cold damp mornings turned into cranking but won't start at all. No start is spark related (fuel pump kicks in in "on" position and sprayed quick start in throttle body and still wouldn't start. New wires and good plugs. I have 12V at the ICM with the car in "on" I tested the crank sensor at the ICM it had proper resistance with increasing voltage while cranking (replaced the lower one anyway) I have correct ohms for wires as well as a secondary resistance of 5550 at all three coil packs. When I remove one of the coils and test the voltage there while cranking with a tester light there is no power there. I replaced the ICM and had identical results, returned the new ICM thinking it was a faulty part and the second new one was installed with the same results.
To the best of my knowledge this is not a Passlock problem, the car cranks, the theft light does not blink with a failed start. Even left the car in "on" for ten minutes and the light wouldn't turn off.
The car started giving me many problems Monday where it wouldn't start all day. I finally left the car in "on" for a minute or two and would start. This worked until Friday where the car would not start at all, when I finally got it started it ran fine until it stalled out twice on a busy street. Finally got it started up again, rushed home and it hasn't started since...

Which crank sensor did you ohm? The one in the back or the one behind the crank pulley? this engine has 2 crank sensors
Check the wire that runs from the back crank sensor to the ignition module. Seen that wire not get attached right and gets too close to
pipe and melt the wires. That can cause a start up at one time and a no start also.

I checked the crank sensor at the back (purple and yellow wires at ICM) that was the same sensor I had changed. I'll go out now and check continuity between the ICM connection and sensor if I can.
Is there anyway to rule out the second crank sensor or the cam sensor?
replied 5 years ago.
To check them, you would need a scan tool that can read data to see if they are reading rpm on the scan tool.
Check for resistance to ground on the purple wire or the yellow wire to the crank sensor.
check the ground doing to the ignition module on the black wire.

Grabbed a tester (inline) tested front left plug and get a quick flash when first cranked and a quick flash during last rotation (after key is released). Nothing in between.
replied 5 years ago.
That normally means that one of the crank sensors are not reading right. You can check the power and ground to that sensor also. The connector is by the A/C compressor and the
oil filter
. Light green wire is the 12 volt wire and the yellow wire is the Low reference (Ground). The Light blue wire is the signal wire. There is not spec to ohm this sensor out. It is an Hall effect sensor.
then next step is to see if we are getting a crank signal on the data display of a scan tool.

The light green wire is 10.8V (engine has been cranked a couple times today)and we have a good ground at the yellow wire. I'll have the scanner hooked up tonight or tomorrow and will let you know.

Ok with a scan tool, see if it indicates a 3X crank sensor signal during cranking.
Ask Your Own Chevy Question
replied 5 years ago.
Is that different than the 7x (purple/ Yellow)or the 24x (green/ blue/ yellow) crank sensor? Or does the scan tool lump all the signals in together under the same heading?
replied 5 years ago.
The rpm signal on the scan tool mainly uses the one behind the crank pulley,
There may be a line for the 7x or the 24x to display a yes or no you can watch while cranking. The data varied from year to year. But there should be a line for a 3x signal that the ignition module sends to the engine computer
I can send you the step by step diagnostic instructions for the ignition system if you want them.
Check the system for codes also.
Crankshaft position (CKP) sensors
The CKP sensor B is a variable reluctance sensor. The magnetic field of the sensor is altered by a crankshaft mounted reluctor wheel that has seven machined slots, six of which are equally spaced 60 degrees apart. The seventh slot is spaced 10 degrees after one of the 60 degree slots. This sensor provides the ignition control module (ICM) with 7X signals, or seven pulses for each revolution of the crankshaft. The pulse from the 10 degree slot is known as the sync pulse. Both of the sensor circuits are connected to the ignition control module (ICM). A signal converter within the ICM produces digital 3X output pulse to the powertrain control module (PCM), the 3X reference is known as the low resolution engine speed signal.
The CKP sensor A contains a hall-effect switch. A hall-effect switch is a solid state switching device that produces a digital ON/OFF pulse when a rotating element passes between the sensor tip and a magnet. This rotating element is called an interrupter ring or blade. In this case the interrupter ring has 24 evenly spaced blades and windows and is part of the crankshaft damper assembly. This sensor provides the PCM with 24X signals, or 24 identical pulses per crankshaft revolution. The 24X signal is used for enhanced smoothness and idle stability at a lower calibrated RPM. The PCM supplies the sensor with a 12-volt reference, low reference, and signal circuit.
position (CMP) sensor
The CMP sensor signal is a digital ON/OFF pulse, output once per revolution of the camshaft. The CMP sensor does not directly affect the operation of the ignition system. The CMP sensor information is used by the PCM to determine the position of the valve train relative to the crankshaft position. By monitoring the CMP and CKP signals the PCM can accurately time the operation of the fuel injectors. The PCM supplies the sensor with a 12-volt reference, low reference, and signal circuit.
Ignition control module (ICM) and
ignition coils
Three dual tower ignition coils are mounted to the ICM, and are serviced individually. The ICM performs the following functions:
The ICM receives and processes the signals from the CKP sensor B.
The ICM determines the correct direction of the crankshaft rotation, and cuts spark and fuel delivery to prevent damage from backfiring if reverse rotation is detected.
The ICM determines the correct coil triggering sequence, based on the 7X CKP signal. This coil sequencing occurs at start-up, and is remembered by the ICM. After the engine is running, the ICM will continue to trigger the coils in the correct sequence.
The ICM produces and inputs 3X reference signals to the PCM.
The ICM contains the coil driver circuits that command the coils to operate.

Well we hit a snag... The car would crank but not start. I accidently left it in "on" went inside, came back out after 5 or so minutes and tried it for the heck of it and it started first try... (How it started all last week) I wasn't able to get any readings off the computer because it was running.
I turned off the car, reached down and unplugged the crank sensor behind the crank pulley and the car started after 1 try, I had no tach and it came up with the proper code P0336.
I drove it around the block twice, turned it off several times and it started first or second try.

Can a bad ignition switch cause this problem?
My friend came by again with his reader and it came up with a U1000 code. It started fine again this morning but died three times while idling in a parking lot and started no problem and drove home problem free.
replied 5 years ago.
I was asking about the service engine soon light at first because I was thinking ignition switch. A BCM can set a u1000 and cause this if it doesn't power up. Can your scan tool read bcm data?
does the power locks all work when it won't start?
Ask Your Own Chevy Question
replied 5 years ago.
The scan tool I have doesn't read BCM data. I would have to take it in to my mechanic. The power locks work when I have starting problems. Although if I crank too long the locks will click (probably voltage related)
replied 5 years ago.
The u1000 could be caused by another module not powering up or giving the right data or the battery going low.. Clear the code out and see if it sets when it wont start.
The ignition switch could be the cause but i normal find that the check engine light wont come on when you first turn the key on. You can pull the switch loose and check the wires at the connectors of the ignition switch to see if all keeps 12 volts on them. (Did the blower work when it wouldn't start) You can loosen up the switch and get to the connectors with the radio removed.
With you messing with the wires by that front crank sensor and then it starts, you could have a wire shorting out around there or the front crank sensor bad.

2 big connectors on switch
Red wire on each switch pin a should have power at all times This is the terminal you ohm them to on each connector.
On the natural color connector:
the orange wire pin c should have power in the run position ( or less than 2.0 ohms to pin a on the switch)
yellow wire pin B in the start position
dark green pin e In the acc- run and start position
on the black color connector:
pink wire pin B in the run and start position
brown wire pin pin c in the acc and run position
A voltage drop test is a good way to tell when its acting up. can check it when its not to make sure its not a problem with it. Place the volt meter to dc volts and hook one lead up to the battery positive post ( or back probe into the red wire at the switch) and the other lead back probe in the ignition switch connector of each of the wires listed above and turnt he switch to the correct position of the wire color and check the reading, You should have less than .5 volts. more than .5 volts is considered bad.

Drove the car to my mechanic Sunday night. Hasn't been able to start it since. He checked the switch and all the readings were fine. He pulled the switch apart and cleaned all the contacts.
Everything he checked was fine, except that today he hooked it up to his reader and while the car was in the "off position, the computer was telling the scanner that the fuel injectors were spraying.
The symptoms and odd happenings are.
No theft light
No spark at coils or plugs (other than initial and releasing of the key)
The car started once with the front crank sensor unplugged.
The u1000 code (that was cleared and came on again)
Crank sensors are sending signal to the computer.
and now the computer telling his scanning tool that the injectors were firing while the car was off.
He is convinced that the PCM needs to be done and suggested I get one from a scrap yard. My question is how close to my car does the pcm need to be? There is a Malibu at my scrap yard same generation, same engine/transmission but different interior package (leather with a different radio.) Will this swap or do I need to go new and get it programmed?
replied 5 years ago.
Some part stores can sell a new PCM that comes programed, You may have to perform a cranksensor variation learn on it with a scan tool.
