American Staffordshire Terrier Dogs
American Staffordshire Terriers are loving, loyal dependable dogs. A trained, socialized and (most of all) loved "AmStaff" is an affectionate, dependable and happy friend with loads of energy and intelligence. And, most of the time, they prove to be calm and steady pals who don't mind hanging out on the couch.

What They Are Like to Live With
American Staffordshire Terriers possess a natural eagerness to please their owners. With proper care and attention, your AmStaff can be an exemplary member of the family.
Bred to be both swift and strong, American Staffordshire Terriers love to play fetch, go for runs and work. They are very strong for their size: AmStaffs can pull very heavy objects, bite through rubber and wire, and they have a high tolerance for pain and fatigue. Keep them busy and loaded with positive reinforcement, and they'll maintain an upbeat and steady mood.
Things You Should Know
You should consider an AmStaff only if you have the time, strength and know-how to train and socialize your pet. American Staffordshire Terriers sometimes display protective or competitive instincts around other dogs and animals.
These dogs might not be the best apartment dwellers, though as long as they get plenty of outdoor exercise they'll be happy. Ideally, a fenced yard suits them best, not to mention daily games of fetch and constructive "tasks." They should be kept on a leash while on walks and at the park.
A healthy American Staffordshire Terrier can live as long as 12 years. Common health issues include hip dysplasia, skin problems and some allergies.
American Staffordshire Terrier History
In the early 1800s, breeders attempted to create a dog that blended the spirit of a Terrier with the courage and brawn of a Bulldog. The result—using a possible mix of Bulldogs and Fox Terriers—was the English Staffordshire Terrier. In the mid-1800s, English Staffordshire Terriers were brought to America, where they were bred to be larger and stronger. In 1936 they were registered with the AKC as "Staffordshire Terriers." They were officially named American Staffordshire Terriers in 1972.
The Look of a American Staffordshire Terrier
American Staffordshire Terriers have medium-sized, muscular, agile and solid frames. They have wide, sturdy heads with medium-length muzzles and powerful jaws. Their ears are set high. Their eyes are dark, set low and far apart. And their necks slope down to a deep, wide chest and rib cage. They have short backs, short, tapered tails and straight front legs. Their short, shiny and dense coats can come in almost any color or combination of colors. Overall, American Staffordshire Terriers look strong for their size, combining a muscular stockiness with a graceful poise.
Talk About American Staffordshire Terriers
A cuddly runner
My American Staffordshire Terrier, Diesel, is a little bit bigger than the norm but BEAUTIFUL. He is the biggest lover: He gives kisses, cuddles up next to you, and plays tug of war.
I love having an AmStaff for many reasons, but mainly because I like to be outside and so does he. Don't let their size fool you: Diesel is a great runner, his max is eight miles right now. He is also really great with kids and other dogs. He is very receptive to my energy and can tell when I am having a good or bad day.
This dog is a lifetime commitment. They are very family oriented and like to be treated like a part of the family. Socialize them at a young age and take control.
They like to be followers, so be the alpha. When you need to correct them, roll them on their back and show that you are the alpha. Be firm in the first few months, if not always -- they are smart and just need direction. And remember they can be very strong and powerful dogs, so be ready to use your muscles. Plus they are great protectors!
~Marie, owner of an American Staffordshire Terrier
These dogs have gentle souls
I have been boarding my brother's two American Staffordshire Terriers for a year now, and I am really sad to see them go. I have three mixed breeds of my own and I must say these two Amstaffs won my heart and soul. They are obedient, loving, loyal, protective and kind. There is a gentleness about them. They love to snuggle and are the best little heaters on a cold night. After this experience I do not think I can ever own another breed. Amstaffs are the best!
~Jessica, owner of three mixed-breed dogs
Quick learners that always want to please
We have two female American Staffordshire Terriers - sisters from the same litter. Sammy was the runt and she is the lover, and the alpha of the two. Pandora is larger and just a happy-go-lucky kind of girl. They both love to swim, chase balls or just sit on the couch with you. One thing is they always have to be next to you with some part of their body touching yours. Most of the time it is fine, but when you are trying to read the paper and you have this large head in your lap it can be hard to do. Then they turn and give you those eyes and roll over so you can rub their tummies and the paper can always be read later. This breed learns quickly and is easily trained for they always want to please.
~Debby K., owner of two American Staffordshire Terriers
Love these Bullies!
I have a four-year-old American Staffordshire/Labrador mix - he is one of the most incredible dogs I have ever owned or encountered. Atticus is affectionate (almost overly if that's possible!), good-natured to a fault, adores other dogs, new people, swimming, exploring, cuddling - everything. His enthusiasm is refreshing and it is always wonderful to come home to his adorable face.
We foster dogs for a local rescue org and he's had to put up with quite a bit - he's not an alpha dog at all, and has never shown aggression (just defensiveness when attacked, he attempts to run away but I have seen him defend himself). We had a bad situation w/ a resource-guarding female AmStaff (extreme case), and he still adored her even after she would go after him (she's no longer our foster, for his sake).
I know aggression issues do pop up in the breed but Atticus is proof to me that nurture (versus nature) is huge and he is a fantastic boy. He's irreplaceable. This breed is so misunderstood it is tragic - however I believe they are a powerful breed, with powerful potential, so you have to know what you're doing to own these guys. They live to please, but need guidance.
I don't believe most first time dog owners are suited to owning this dog (or a short list of other breeds I could mention). They require some understanding - and then they are fantastic!
~JJ Ruth, owner of an American Staffordshire Terrier mix
Unconditional love
Naturally protective with children and women, Sissygirl has so much patience and tolerance. She always has to be on my feet and no matter how much I work her on that, she would rather I beat her with a bat than leave my feet. We definitely have an unconditional love.
This breed must have kennel training. Establish pack leader constantly and work them through their commands consistently.
Sissygirl has never had a problem with aggression, but she does whine and growl at certain men and adolescent boys! My nephew walks on her and pulls on everything dangling, but she has yet to flinch.
~C.M., owner of an American Staffordshire Terrier
A fast learner and a good alarm clock
Ladybird wakes me up in the morning with a loving kiss. She's my alarm clock. She sits and watches me until it's time to go for her walk. Then she has to get a scoop of peanut butter for breakfast before she then eats all her dog food. She has to have her head on my lap everytime I sit.
She's a fast learner. She's already found out how to undo the latch of the gate in the house. She loves to watch our birds fly around the room or to look out the window for hours.
She will crawl into her cage on her bed at night without being told to. She carries her bone everywere she goes. And what a watchdog ! She loves kids, too. She is so sweet and gentle.
~DAVID R., owner of an American Staffordshire Terrier

2015 Large Business of the Year Award Winner:
Saylor's Restaurant & Bar
Saylor's is a great example of a thriving LEGACY business in Sausalito. Saylors has been owned and run by the same family for 17 years and legendary husband and wife team, Sean and Sonja Saylor. Saylor's is really The Cheers Bar of Sausalito – it is the bar where everyone knows your name and the barman knows your favorite cocktail! Sean and Sonja are bastions of the Community and have generously donated to many causes and local non profits, from the Rotary, Sausalito Woman's Club, Sausalito Chamber Sister Cities to the Sausalito Art Festival. In 2015, Saylor's helped the Sausalito Police feed the homeless and anchor outs in Dunphy Park. The folks who attended were very grateful for the hot meal and kindness shown to them by Saylor's.
The other top nominee for 2015 Large Business of the Year was The Marine Mammal Center
2015 Small Business of the Year Award Winner:
Sausalito Pottery
Sausalito Pottery is another example of a successful LEGACY business in Sausalito. 13 years ago, Lorna gave up a lucrative job at Levi Strauss to follow her passion and set up her own ceramics business. Lorna Newlin is one of those rare gems of Sausalito – not only does she own and operate a small business in Sausalito but she is also a resident of Sausalito so she see both sides of the coin. She has a passion and love for her home town and at the same time, she is also keenly aware of the struggles and issues of being an artist and small business owner in Sausalito and is a constant crusader to promote and protect small business. Lorna talks the talk and walks the walk of small business – she understands the importance of relationships and cross marketing and has forged great business relationships with many other local businesses such as Out of hand, TMMC and Cavallo Point. Lorna has been on the Chamber Board for 5 years and has served as a Treasurer for 3 of those years. Lorna is most conscientious and hard working and has done an outstanding job in this role. Lorna is also active and has served on the Board of the Sausalito Woman's Club and the Sister City Board. She generously donates her time and her beautiful products to many fundraisers.
The other nominations for Small Business of the Year were Lili S. Salon and The Ship's Store
2015 New Business of the Year Award Winner:
Sarah Swell
Sarah and her husband Scott are a welcome addition to the artistic and creative energy of Caledonia Street. They are a friendly young couple with a strong work ethic and drive. Sarah designs and makes her jewelry on-site here in Sausalito. Having a below street level retail store can be difficult but Sarah and Scott have created a lovely, cozy welcoming space to showcase her stunning jewelry. Sarah understands the importance of good face to face customer service but also the power and importance of social media. Sarah Swell has over 800 Facebook followers and an astounding 7,000 Instagram followers. Sarah Swell have been active in the Chamber from the moment they opened their door and have been actively involved in the Caledonia Holiday event, the Made on Caledonia Street event and the Made in Sausalito Concierge Tour.
The other top nomination for the 2014 New Business of the Year Award was Pick Me Up Chocolate
Chamber Champion & Volunteer of the Year Award Winner:
Chris Gallagher, Bay Model Visitor Center &
Jeff Scharosch, The Spinnaker Restaurant
Chris Gallagher and Jeff Scharosch are both unsung heroes for Sausalito. They are consummate volunteers and are actively involved in every major Sausalito fundraising event with the Chamber, Rotary and the City. They attend Sausalito City Council meetings, Hospitality meetings, BAC meetings, Rotary, and practically every other Sausalito meeting and yet neither of them actually live in Sausalito. They both have busy day jobs but they volunteer much of their personal time and talent to help the Sausalito community and they have done so, for many years. For this reason, we want to acknowledge them both as Chamber Champions in 2015.
2015 Spirit of Marin Award (Posthumous):
Sally Calef
A former president of the Sausalito Chamber of Commerce, Sally served three full terms on the chamber board and has served on almost every chamber committee including Membership, Nominating, the Business Exchange Forum and the Women's Alliance. She was presented with the Chamber Champion award in 2014 which has only been awarded to two others before. She has also served on the Sausalito Art Festival Board for many years with responsibility for the festival's silent auction which continues to generate major funds for the organization. A positive and brilliant intellect, her radiant force has made a tremendous difference in many lives.

The disavantages of group intelligence tests include that.
Advantages of group tests:
can be administered to very large numbers simultaneously
simplified examiner role
scoring typically more objective
large, representative samples often used leading to better established norms
Disadvantages of group tests:
examiner has less opportunity to establish rapport, obtain cooperation, and maintain interest
not readily detected if examinee tired, anxious, unwell
evidence that emotionally disturbed children do better on individual than group tests
examinee�s responses more restricted
normally an individual is tested on all items in a group test and may become boredom over easy items and frustrated or anxious over difficult items
individual tests typically provide for the examiner to choose items based on the test takers prior responses - moving onto quite difficult items or back to easier items. So individual tests offer more flexibility.

In a message dated 8/14/2006 1:48:30 PM Eastern Standard Time,
<<Just how big was the beta testing and how long did it go on?>>
The beta testing started out with just a few lists and admins--I think about
12-15 each with one migrated list. Then about a month ago quite a few new
admins and lists were added. It was a fairly representative test but I must
say not ALL bugs we found and reports have been fixed.
<<Conversion for me is tomorrow and looking at some of the recent messages
more and more questions are being raised and all the Admins get is "Read the
Tutorial" which appears to be vaporware. I really don't understand why the
Tutorial can not be distributed.>>
Perhaps it is still being finalized and updated? There were changes the
testers suggested be made to it.
<<Looking at some of these recent messages some questions I have are:
1. Is it true that admin will not be receiving any notification of bounces?
Terrible!! If this is true will admin be permitted to set different levels
for the "L" list and D list subscribers? >>
It is true we don't see bounces that Mailman thinks it can handle on its
own--it only shows us the unsub and disabled accounts when bounces reach the
threshold and bounces it can't decipher.
Since L and D modes are part of ONE list the bounce threshold is the same
for both modes. However the bounces are only counted at most one per day, so
no address can instantly bounce off a busy list. That part works fairly well.
It is the not seeing the bounces that bothers me.
<<2. Will admin still receive subscribe and unsubscribe notifications?>>
You can set it either way--but you can't choose to receive one or the other
and not both--it is all or nothing with Mailman.
<<3. Archives... extraneous TO and CC'd. You have to be kidding.>>
I'm not--RootsWeb programmers hacked SmartList years ago to remove those to
prevent a ton of cross-posts and bouncing replies to lists the poster doesn't
subscribe to--now this is all back.
<<4. There seems to be a number of problems delivering the messages,
especially to AOL users. I don't understand how a conversion can go forth
without ascertaining that the mail will be delivered. >>
I agree--I received your CC of this reply but not your list post. I'm
assuming it made it to the list.

ACA: Comcast-NBCU To Hit Consumers With $2.4 Billion Bill
"It is clear that the Comcast-NBCU deal will send monthly cable bills higher by billions of dollars over the next decade, underscoring ACA's view that regulators must protect consumers and competition from a transaction whose benefits are vastly outweighed by its harms. Without meaningful and cost effective conditions on the Comcast-NBCU transaction, regulators also run the risk of crippling effective competition in the pay-TV distribution market," ACA President and CEO Matthew M.

The tent had been set up by the conservative Americans for Prosperity, which supports the legislation Gov. Rick Snyder signed into law Tuesday that allows unionized workers to opt out of paying union dues.
Tarver, who has been a small business owner for the last 16 years, was there to give hot dogs to supporters in the tent on the Capitol lawn. He said he was just checking tickets, not sizing up customers.
"Everyone that had a ticket I had given a hot dog to," the 63-year-old owner of Clint's Hot Dog Cart and Casual Catering told FoxNews.com. "So when two guys, one with a mask, came to get their hot dogs, I didn't think anything of it because they had tickets and I was just there for a job."
He described the action that ensued as "violent." Only minutes after he'd handed the two men their hot dogs, the pair tore down the tent, turned over his serving tables, smashed his hot dogs, tossed a cooler filled with sodas and spilled his chili.

Aspen Santa Fe Ballet to Play the Joyce Theatre, 10/16-21
The highly acclaimed Aspen Santa Fe Ballet will present a program of three NYC premieres, at The Joyce Theater (175 Eighth Avenue at 19th street) from October 16 - 21. Tickets range in price from $10-$59 and can be arranged online at www.Joyce.org or by calling JoyceCharge at 212-242-0800.
Under the direction of Jean-Philippe Malaty and Tom Mossbrucker, formerly of the Joffrey Ballet, the 17-year old Aspen Santa Fe Ballet (ASFB) has achieved a distinguished level of maturity and maintains a sophisticated repertory that belies its young age. During this 2012 Joyce engagement, the company's sixth, ASFB performs an exhilarating program of three contemporary dances exemplifying its commitment to commissioning groundbreaking work by both world renowned and emerging choreographers.
The program includes an evening of three NYC premieres of contemporary ballets, all commissioned by Aspen Santa Fe Ballet and all three are recipients of prestigious foundation support including the introduction of Norbert de la Cruz whose new ballet, Square None (2012), was underwritten in part by The Jerome Robbins New Essential Works grant. ASFB was the first company to commission a work by this recent Princes Grace Award recipient. Second on the program is Last (2012) by Spanish choreographer, Alejandro Cerrudo (resident choreographer of Hubbard Street Dance Chicago). Last was underwritten in part by The Joyce Theater Foundation. OVER GLOW (2011), by Jorma Elo, will close the program. This is ASFB's fourth work by this popular Finnish choreographer. OVER GLOW was underwritten in part by the Wolf Trap Foundation for the Performing Arts.
Performances at The Joyce Theater are Tuesday-Wednesday at 7:30pm, Thursday-Saturday at 8:00pm and Sunday at 2:00pm. Dance Chat, a free post-performance talkback with the artists, will take place on Wednesday, October 17, and is open to all attending that evening's performance. Tickets range from $10-$49 ($10-$37 for Joyce members) and are available by calling JoyceCharge at 212-242-0800 or at www.Joyce.org. Please note: Ticket prices are subject to change. The Joyce Theater is located at 175 Eighth Avenue at 19th Street
Aspen Santa Fe Ballet's founder, Bebe Schweppe, was visionary when, in 1996, she invited Tom Mossbrucker and Jean-Philippe Malaty to create a company that residents in the Aspen valley could call their own. Initially based solely in Aspen, Colorado, a second home for the company was created in 2000 in Santa Fe, New Mexico. In sync with the world-class artistic activities in each of these beautiful communities, ASFB has helped strengthen the cultural fabric of both cities.
With its sophisticated repertoire and broad appeal, combined with a successful blend of entertaining and engrossing contemporary dance, ASFB is one of the great success stories in American dance today. Audiences locally, nationally, and internationally have embraced this vibrant company on stellar stages such as The Joyce Theater in New York City, the famed Jacob's Pillow Dance Festival, The Kennedy Center, Wolf Trap, The Harris Theater for Music and Dance in Chicago, and in foreign venues including Canada, France, Italy, Greece and Guatemala.
Over the years, Aspen Santa Fe Ballet has grown to become a multi-faceted entity, as both an internationally recognized dance company and one of the largest dance presenters in the country. As the company travels to cities far and wide, ASFB also presents leading dance companies at home in Aspen and Santa Fe throughout the year. The umbrella of ASFB extends equally to education. With a thriving dance school and an award winning Mexican folk dance outreach program, ASFB serves over 500 children in Colorado and New Mexico. In 2010, ASFB directors Tom Mossbrucker and Jean-Philippe Malaty were honored by The Joyce Theater Foundation in New York City for creating this innovative model for an American dance institution.
Aspen Santa Fe Ballet appeals, with its adventurous repertoire and the inspiring landscapes of its home communities, as a gathering place for the finest dancers and choreographers in the world. Never forgetting its deep roots in the creative and historic wealth of these majestic and awe-inspiring communities, the organization remains deeply committed to expanding and enriching the world of dance. With its fusion of classical good sense and western ingenuity, Aspen Santa Fe Ballet blends the best of both worlds to create a dance company that is truly unique.
TOM MOSSBRUCKER (Artistic Director) has been artistic director of Aspen Santa Fe Ballet since 1996. For the past sixteen years Tom has built a prestigious arts/dance organization sharing two homes in Aspen and Santa Fe. Not being a choreographer himself has freed Tom as an artistic director to cultivate highly refined and challenging works of contemporary ballet. His shining achievement is a roster of 24 ballets created on commission for ASFB by leading global choreographers. Tom began dance training at age four, studying tap in his hometown of Tacoma, Washington. He studied ballet in New York City at the School of American Ballet and the Joffrey Ballet School. His twenty years as a principal dancer with the Joffrey Ballet, performing in over 70 ballets, coincided with a period of high artistic achievement for the company. Tom danced in creations by the world's great choreographers: Fredrick Ashton, George Balanchine, Laura Dean, William Forsythe, Jiri Kylián, Mark Morris, Paul Taylor and Twyla Tharp. Signature roles included Iago in Jose Limon's The Moor's Pavane; Champion Roper in Agnes DeMille's Rodeo; Billy in Eugene Loring's Billy the Kid; and Romeo in Cranko's Romeo and Juliet. All of this rich and diverse dance background Tom brings to his coaching of young dancers today. In 2010, Tom, along with Executive Director Jean- Philippe Malaty, was honored with The Joyce Theater Foundation Award for contribution to the field of dance. A former board member of Dance USA, Tom currently serves on the board of The Gerald Arpino and Robert Joffrey Foundation.

The propagation of spillages is one of the biggest environmental problems after a ship disaster. Instead of cleaning the dirty areas the SUSY system will avoid the spillages by stabilizing vessels immediately after an accident. Additionally the same technology should be used to lift sunken vessels by spending less effort than today.
The main idea of the proposed project SuSy is to develop well known submarine rescue technology into systems to be used for merchant ships in emergency situation. The systems for submarines are based on satellite booster technology with liquid or solid fuel to blow water out of the ballast tanks in very short time to provide additional buoyancy to stop e.g. an uncontrolled diving process. This technology provides means to generate from a device of 0,5 m3 500 m3 within 15 seconds under atmospheric pressure.
The combination of this technology with air pressure systems and balloon technology to create a multi purpose modular system for ship rescue purposes is the target of the SuSY project.
Different application scenarios / concepts can be envisaged,
- preventive installation of rescue systems on ships with hazardous cargo
- equipment for coast guard and rescue squads to quickly stabilize capsized ships
- equipment for teams to lift sunken ships
The technical challenges where research is needed to develop the envisaged systems are
- developing a hydro-dynamical model for the different possible scenarios
- developing a thermo-dynamical model as basis for a controlled process under the different scenarios foreseen
- find the right material to cope with the pressure the temperature and the dynamic loads of a rescue scenario
- define a life-cycle cost model to assure the design of a low cost modular system
- simulate the different scenarios to provide input for the design optimisation
- develop fitting technologies for submarines to apply the SUSY system to sunken vessels
- test of the fitting technologies with available submarines (see partner HCMR)
- Develop and test the system based on liquid or solid fuel boosters combined with air pressure and new balloon textile technologies.
Finally SUSY will build a prototype to proof the concept in real sea test.

|Home > Opinion > Article
The use of the WMD phrase in its present meaning took off after September 11, 2001, becoming a vital part of the Bush Administration's rhetoric of confrontation and the basis for the pre-emptive strike against Iraq.
A similar look on Newslink at the use of the word "globalisation" provides a counterpoint to WMD. "Globalisation" was oversold during the stockmarket boom four years ago and is now in a heavy bear market. A similar fate may await "weapons of mass destruction". The phrase appears to have been first used in The Times in 1937 after the German Luftwaffe practised the strategic bombing of cities during the Spanish Civil War. Conventional dictionaries have yet to catch up with WMD. According to the web encyclopedia, Wikipedia, during the Cold War WMD referred only to nuclear weapons.
The current use of WMD to refer to chemical, biological and nuclear weapons was defined by UN Resolution 687 and later by US law. This definition excludes high explosives, incendiaries and bullets, the weapons which have caused most of the mass destruction in war and acts of terrorism and which continued to do so in the latest pre-emptive strike on Iraq.
The shock and awe inspired by WMD stem from fear of the unknown, or little known. This was dramatically shown by the world panic which followed the "anthrax through the mail" episode soon after September 11, 2001. Fear is a big electoral trump card for the politician in office.
The resemblance of the rise and fall of the use of both phrases to stockmarket bubbles is not surprising. Stockmarket bubbles, like word bubbles, or fevers, occur when the normal, reasonable discourse of markets becomes irrational as a boom develops, driven by a kind of rising mass hysteria which finally implodes on the emptiness of its own rhetoric.
The pathology of market manias was famously analysed 150 years ago by Charles MacKay in his Memoirs of Extraordinary Delusions and the Madness of Crowds. Modern media can spread extraordinary delusions with unprecedented speed. Anyone with a radio or a mobile phone is part of a crowd. Words and phrases, and the spin doctors who use them, now have a power undreamt of when MacKay's contemporary, E. G. Bulwer-Lytton, wrote his aphorism about the pen being mightier than the sword. WMD may yet turn out to have been words of mass delusion.

A Run-over is a form of vehicular weapon used to eliminate enemy infantry. It is usable by Sidewinder Jetbikes, Ox Heavy Tanks, Razorbacks and Hawks.
How to ObtainEdit
To obtain a run-over kill, one must be the driver of a vehicle and traveling at a certain top speed. When the body of the vehicle comes into contact with the intended target, the target instantly dies.
Hawks can run-over enemy troops in the air, usually when they are hovering with Vulture Packs.
- Be careful when Friendly Fire is on, as you can run allies over quite easily.

Mining Publication: Effect of Air Velocity on Conveyor Belt Fire Suppression Systems
Original creation date: February 2009
Four different types of fire suppression systems were evaluated in large-scale fire experiments to study the effect of air velocity on the effectiveness to extinguish conveyor belt fires. The four different types of suppression systems were water sprinkler, deluge type water spray, and two different dry chemical fire suppression systems. The large-scale fire tests were conducted with 72-in-wide fire resistant rubber belt that met the Mine Safety and Health Administration flame resistant requirement specified in Title 30, Code of Federal Regulations, Part 18, section 18.65 (also known as the 2G Flame Test). Each fire suppression system was tested at air velocities of 500-550 feet per minute (fpm) and 1350-1500 fpm. Two tests were conducted at both air velocities for each fire suppression system. Both of the water-based fire suppression systems were able to suppress the fire to the point that a miner could extinguish it with a fire extinguisher. However, the amount of water needed to suppress the fire to the point where a miner could walk up to extinguish any smoldering belting was greater than the current MSHA regulations require. MSHA regulations only require 10 minutes of water supply to the suppression system. In the test set up neither of these systems would have suppressed the fire had the water been turned off to the system after 10 minutes. The dry chemical suppression systems produced mixed results. Dry chemical suppression system A did not suppress the conveyor belt fire at either air velocity. Dry chemical system B suppressed the fire at 500 fpm air velocity, but produced mixed results at the higher air velocity. Details are presented on the large-scale fire test set-up, arrangement of the fire suppression systems, and conclusions regarding the effect of air velocity on fire suppression system design and performance.

XML in many ways set out to overcome the shortcomings of both SGML and HTML. SGML is a powerful and extensible language that has been used since the 1980's as a structured method of cataloguing and indexing data.
SGML can be used to create an infinite number of mark-up languages, like XML can now do. SGML however is complex - unlike XML - especially for web uses. SGML is also expensive and currently unsupported in many web browsers as a mark-up language.
Conversely, HTML is free and widely supported by both paid and free editing software and all major web browsers. The initial reason for producing HTML was to provide a basic version of SGML that would be accessible to the wider public, which it did, however HTML was not without its limitations.
In 1996 this issue was addressed. The specification was to deliver a semantic, extensible mark-up language with the power of SGML, yet the simplicity similar to HTML. As a result, the specification for XML, when finalised, was only one twentieth of the size of its equally powerful SGML predecessor.
Over the development time of just short of 24 months, various other extensible languages broke off, including MathML, and CML - the Chemical Mark-up Language. Microsoft announced its Channel Definition Format (CDF) in 1997, and then in 1998 the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) approved version 1.0 of the XML specification.
The W3C have outlined the following in its online tutorial:
- XML stands for EXtensible Markup Language .
- XML is a markup language much like HTML.
- XML was designed to describe data.
- XML tags are not predefined. You must define your own tags.
- XML uses a Document Type Definition (DTD) or an XML Schema to describe the data.
- XML with a DTD or XML Schema is designed to be self-descriptive.
- XML is a W3C Recommendation.
A Document Type Definition is a specification for the mark-up, to ensure that the document holds legal data in the structure it was intended. This DTD could be defined and stored within an XML document, although usually they are hosted separately. Many HTML DTD's are stored on w3.org servers, however t may be necessary to write your own.
XML documents may have such a need for a custom DTD that it is probably worthwhile reading up on XML Schemas (XSD) - the modern equivalent. Essentially it stores data on the structure of the document along the same lines of DTD, but can cater for custom entities.
The main positive benefits of XML today are that it is cross platform compatible. Not only can data be stored in a common way and shared between people, operating systems and applications, but the structure can also evolve as the needs of the file type change. There are an almost infinite number of structures an XML document can produce.
HTML, unlike XML focuses on how data is displayed and presented. XML's main focus is to describe the data structurally and to convey meaning of what the data is. Generally as a rule of thumb, XML is less forgiving than HTML. XML is case sensitive, and this is reflected within browser performance. Both XML and HTML can be used inside web browsers, but from the two, only XML can be used for data transfer.
To finalise the article, I have found a list of advantages of XML:
- It is text-based.
- It is platform-independent.
- It manifests as plain text files.
- It supports Unicode (allowing information in any language).
- It can represent data structures: records, lists and trees.
- It is based on international standards.
- The hierarchical structure is suitable for most types of documents.
- It makes parsing algorithms simple, efficient, and consistent

Post subject: DE Problems
I understand the Ravens have D-Line needs. But I don't understand. Did you catch that? As an enourmous Ravens fan, I focus on them year round. It has been said we need D-Line help, but I dodn't want us to draft a DLineman, In fact, I'd be angry if we did. I think it would be a waste. Short of Erasmus James, who happens to be the only Lineman I like, I don't think any of these soon to be rookies are gonna be better than what we have. Wouldn't you want us to draft another talent that has more potential? Thoughts?

I'm happy with whoever the Ravens feel is the best player available.
I think we need to get better at DT. Kelly Gregg is a great player, but behind him it's mainly potential and no real proven commodities. I think Ma'ake Kemoeatu will improve significantly, but we still need more depth. You can't just play two DT from start to finish, you need solid depth to form a good rotation of at least four guys.
I also think that we need a top quality big-bodied DT. Ray Lewis had two in front of him when he was in his prime. In a couple of years when he is getting older he will at least need one huge body that can occupy a guard and a center on every play.
This year's draft is thinner than in the past at DT. I think Travis Johnson is a prospect that would be good value at the 22nd pick, but he will most likely be gone before then. C.J. Mosley and Luis Castillo could be possibilities after round 1, but the guy I like the most is Darrell Shropshire from South Carolina. Hes very good against the run and opens up things up for other players. He should go anywhere between rounds 3 and 5.

i dont think any DE short of Shawne Merriman and possible Erasmus James would be able to come in and start right away for us. Whoever we take i will be happy with because i know satisically that player has about a 75% chance of making the probowl(8/11picks). Back to the DEs, i think unless we get Merriman or James, whoever we draft(maybe in rounds 2-4 maybe Matt Roth or Bill Swancutt or whoever, would be more of a situational pass rushers and just play 3rd downs out ofa nickel or dime formation. As of now Weaver will start at DE for us and i see him starting the majority of the season unless we find some gem or get shawne merriman.

Definatley! but who's that? There's too much talk about what position we will pick when all that mathers is what player. It will be very difficult for any rookie to come in and be a starter on our defense. Suggs was much more impressive in college than Merriman or James and he spent his first year as a situational pass rusher. What we need to get out of the draft is guys that can come in and help the team as part of a rotation or step up if someone is injured.
If we want guys to come in and be imediate starters we should pick offense. It's much more likely that we find a rookie that can come in and start there. But in the NFL depth is very important since every team get at least a couple of starters injured every year.

Juniper Networks claims to have added an important piece of technology for delivering on its integrated network security strategy as part of the launch of its high-speed EX-Series of enterprise switches.
With onboard capabilities aimed at extending security functions, including applications usage visibility and NAC (network access control), among others, Juniper executives said that the devices -- the company's first set of high-performance switches targeted directly at enterprises, versus its existing systems aimed at telecommunications providers -- allow the networking gear provider to address demands being made by large customers.
As enterprises replace aging networks with new high-performance equipment, security capabilities are high on the lists of core features that buyers are requesting, said Mark Bauhaus, executive vice president and general manager of the Service Layer Technology Business Group at Juniper.
While the infrastructure-defense tools represent only one aspect of the larger push to make networks faster and more reliable to support business operations, they have become an increasingly central element of customers' long-term goals, the executive said.
Increased integration capabilities established between the new switches and Juniper's existing access control, firewall, intrusion prevention and UTM (unified threat management) products is the most significant aspect of the devices' added security functions, according to Bauhaus. "This truly builds on our strength to do end-to-end security integration," he said. "We're not looking to become a pure-play security vendor, but these are features that customers are looking for in building high-performance networking infrastructure."
In addition to allowing for more unified, integrated security throughout their networking architecture, Bauhaus said that customers are looking to onboard security functions as a way to save money and reduce complexity by replacing other devices, including inline NAC appliances. "Customers clearly want to collapse the sheer number of special-use security devices," he said. "And with the integration to our Unified Access Control technology, we think that this launch represents another important stepping stone by providing customers with the ability to utilize unified access with additional support from their infrastructure."
While rival Cisco Systems has been positioning itself as much as a provider of security tools as a networking specialist for the last several years, at least in terms of its marketing image, Bauhaus said that Juniper is more interested in being viewed as a leading provider of high-speed gear that offers embedded security and standards-based ties to network-defense tools offered by other vendors. All of the security functionality being integrated into the EX-Series switches and Juniper's networking gear is focused primarily on fostering high-performance infrastructure for customers that is also safe and reliable, he said.
Building its products around open industry standards, in particular the security tools, is crucial to allowing third party developers to take advantage of the features, Juniper executives repeatedly stressed at Juniper's Global Enterprise 2008 event held in New York on Tuesday.
Officials from IBM, Microsoft, and Oracle took the stage to endorse the networking company's ability to foster stronger ties with their own products.
Businesses applaud Juniper's move
Calvin Choe, director of technical business development for the Enterprise Networking Group at Microsoft, highlighted the importance of Juniper's work to allow for tight integration between its infrastructure technologies and Microsoft's NAP (Network Access Protection) iteration of NAC, which will arrive next month with the introduction of the software giant's Windows Server 2008 software. NAP is also supported in Microsoft's Windows Vista operating system. "Used with NAP, this will allow network administrators to create policies around identity and assess users' state of compliance to enforce their own set of criteria," said Choe. "The support of standards is important because we wanted to make sure that customers had their choice of switching vendors."
In addition to partners, Juniper also hosted several customers on stage, all of whom mentioned the EX-Series' security features as one of the core strengths of the new product line. "Security is one of the most important things to us, and we wanted an extra layer of access control to deliver defense-in-depth," said Frank Ziegler vice president of communications for the Philadelphia Stock Exchange.
Some industry watchers said that the new EX-Series switches add a crucial piece that had been missing from Juniper's product portfolio from an integrated security standpoint. The new hardware should help the company differentiate from its rivals, including Cisco -- which has aggressively added to its own security holdings over the last several years, said David Willis, a communications market analyst for Gartner. "I think one of the more interesting elements of the launch is Juniper's work to integrate with third parties like Oracle; Cisco has announced similar intentions to do so, but it may take them years to get products ready -- and the size of Cisco's installed base may actually represent a problem in terms of getting products to market," said Willis. "With Cisco, it's also not unusual to run into customers who may have as many as 50 different versions of its OS on its devices, and from that standpoint, sometimes nothing beats a fresh start."
The analyst that just said how much of an advantage the new products could represent on the enterprise market will likely depend on how seriously customers view Juniper's efforts to truly embed security throughout its networking gear versus merely adding individual features.
Other experts said that the addition of the switches' security features could threaten providers of standalone devices, such as inline NAC appliance vendors like ConSentry and Autonomic Networks.
"Clearly the fact that Juniper hasn't had a switching product in this space has limited the reach of UAC, but with customers that have existing investments in Juniper firewalls and VPNs, this could be seen as good news," said Paul Roberts, analyst with The 451 Group. "There's always the question if anyone is really going to do a rip and replace to get NAC functionality, but for companies doing upgrades and looking for the features, this could be a viable option," he said. "In some ways, the new switches may give Juniper the ability to leapfrog Cisco, Extreme Networks, and other rivals with some of these features for access control and applications visibility."

Atlanta • Helicopters took to the skies Wednesday to search for stranded drivers while Humvees delivered food, water and gas — or a ride home — to people who were stuck on roads after a winter storm walloped the Deep South.
Students spent the night on buses or at schools, commuters abandoned their cars or slept in them and interstates turned into parking lots. The problems started when schools, businesses and government offices all let out at the same time. As people waited in gridlock, snow accumulated, the roads froze, cars ran out of gas and tractor-trailers jackknifed, blocking equipment that could have treated the roads. In the chaos, though, there were stories of rescues and kindness.

go to the alphabetical table of folders that comprise this site
Updated last 12-29-07
This is the Sept. 2006 update of the first step (Dec. 2005) at a map of the contents of these pages, a way of understanding what's here and getting to it. Just listing the folders in which the site is divided in my Front Page file menu. It's alphabetical which isn't a good logical sequence. But it'll do for now.
2005 comment - I do this somewhat because I'm busy working on the NaNoWriMo project and fundraising and odd jobs to get by and haven't had time to get anything much up on cuke.com. Also I'm going to the Guy Fawkes bonfire at Muir Beach tonight. But I know there's tons of stuff here that could satisfy the cuke curious and keep them occupied for quite some time but the site is like, as I've said before, an absentminded professor's messy desk, or maybe like a labyrinth. I don't have time to do a really good table of contents so I'm just going to get one started so here we go.
There will be more refinement of the contents of this site.
Thanks - DC

2012 Kentucky II: NASCAR Truck - Dave Blaney
Posted by: ASkyler on Sep 21, 2012 - 06:30 PM
2012 Kentucky II: NASCAR Truck - Dave Blaney
RYAN BLANEY (No. 19 Cooper Standard RAM) TALK ABOUT YOUR WIN IN THE NASCAR CAMPING WORLD TRUCK SERIES AT IOWA AND HOW YOUR WEEK HAS GONE SINCE THEN? "Our Cooper Standard RAM was really good last Saturday night at Iowa. The crew definitely did a good job preparing for that race. Itâs a place I had been to multiple times this year, so it was pretty easy going back there and knowing what to do. I think we have a pretty good race truck here this weekend. We donât really have initial speed right off the bat, but should be pretty fast on long runs. Looking forward to tonightâs race and tomorrow (Nationwide) also. I was definitely busy this week after the win at Iowa. Hopefully, we can do it again. I wouldnât mind that."
HAS IT REALLY SUNK IN YET, THE VICTORY AND HOW FAST IT HAPPENED? "Yeah, I got slapped in the face today during practice (crash in Turn One in the primary truck during the first practice session forced the team to backup). That was a good reality check there. Itâs definitely sunk in but took a while. Youâve got to look forward to next week and the races after that. You canât let it keep entering your head too long."
WHAT WAS THE CONVERSASTION LIKE WHEN YOU FINALLY GOT TO TALK TO BRAD (KESELOWSKI) AND DOES WINNING LAST WEEK IMPACT WHAT YOUâLL BE DOING NEXT SEASON; DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOUâLL BE DOING NEXT SEASON? "The conversation with Brad was good. He called me Sunday before the Cup race and was really excited. He was really happy that BKR could finally get that first win. He has been trying hard to do that for a couple of years. Heâs put a lot of time and effort into that program. Itâs good to see it pay off for him. I think that kind of motivated him for Sunday to do as well as he did at Chicago. The victory, it doesnât hurt next year; it definitely helps out. Nothing for next year has been discussed yet between anybody. I would like to stay where Iâm at but itâs really up in the air right now."
THE RACE AT IOWA: AT WHAT POINT DID YOU START TO THINK YOU COULD WIN THIS THING IF EVERYTHING GOES RIGHT? "I thought in practice we had a shot to win it. I knew we had a really fast truck in qualifying and race mode. Really, I thought our biggest competitor was the 7 (Parker Kligerman). He was really good out in the open by himself but it seemed like we could maneuver through traffic a lot better than him. I knew if we hit lap traffic or got back in the pack on pit strategy, we could probably stay ahead of him. I thought I could win all day really. We were really good all day. The guys (crew) did a great job and coming to the race track with a fast truck gave us the opportunity to win. Hopefully, we can have some more of those."
WHAT WORDS DID YOUR DAD HAVE FOR YOU AFTER THE WIN AND WHAT WAS IT LIKE TO SHARE THAT MOMENT WITH HIM? "It was very cool. He flew in Saturday night on Bradâs plane with his spotter. It was very cool he could be there at the last minute. You now, he said the normal dad routine - âgood job, proud of you.â He was kind of speechless I think. All smiles, he was smiling too much to talk. It was good having him there. My mom was there also and a big chunk of my family is from Des Moines, Iowa. I had a bunch of family members there."
HAVE YOU TALKED TO BRAD ABOUT HOW TO RACE HERE AT KENTUCKY; HE WON THE CUP SERIES EVENT HERE AND HAS HAD A LOT OF SUCCESS? "Iâve talked to him a little bit and Iâve talked to my dad. Iâve raced here before, in the Nationwide car earlier this year with Tommy Baldwin. Iâve got a good idea how to get around the place. Itâs definitely a lot different in the truck. Iâve talked to him and my dad and watched a bunch of tape. Iâve tried to be as prepared as I can for this weekend. Itâs just way different in a truck than it is in a Nationwide car. I think we have a really good truck for tonight."
HOW PATIENT ARE YOU IN TERMS OF YOUR DEVELOPMENT? EVERYTHING IS HAPPENING REAL FAST. DOES THIS (WIN) CHANGE ANYTHIG WITH YOUR TIMETABLE? "It does, especially this week. Iâve barely been home all week. Itâs definitely been very cool to be a part of all this media stuff theyâre making me do. Itâs definitely good. Itâs never a bad thing to do all the media stuff. Itâs definitely kept me busy. Thatâs not always a bad thing. You do well and keep busy. Iâd like to keep staying busy, that would be good."
DOUG RANDOLPH (CREW CHIEF ON THE No. 29 RAM) ALSO SERVED AS YOUR DADâS CREW CHIEF: TALK ABOUT WHAT IT MEANS TO WIN WITH SOMEONE YOUR DAD ALSO RACED WITH? "It was very cool to have Doug as my crew chief. My dad kind of started his NASCAR career off with Doug and Iâm kind of doing the same with mine. It was very cool to have an old friend there crew chiefing the car. Itâs kind of neat how we met up again. It was pretty easy from the start because Iâve known him for a long time. Weâve talked a lot, so it was pretty easy to talk to him initially when I started racing the trucks. Itâs very cool to have Doug as our crew chief and pretty neat that he and my dad were driver-crew chief back in the day."
YOUâRE 18 YEARS OLD AND HAVE WON A NASCAR NATIONAL SERIES RACE. WHAT ARE YOUR FRIENDS DOING THAT JUST GRATUATED HIGH SCHOOL? "Most of them are in college now, doing school work while Iâm at a race track having fun. I got the life over them. I donât see them much. I think Iâm definitely having a lot more fun than they are."

A senior mine safety expert involved in the Pike River mine rescue bid has spoken out about New Zealand authorities' decision not to declare that the 29 miners involved in the accident were already dead before the second explosion this week.
Ron Land, chairman of specialised mine rescue services company Coal Services, had sent a 28-man rescue team to the Pike River mine after the initial blast last Friday.
He said in an interview that the families of the deceased miners should have been informed of the deaths shortly after the initial blast at 4pm New Zealand local time on Friday, November 19.
The miners were not declared dead until a second explosion ripped through the mine on Wednesday at 2.37pm local time.
"On Sunday morning we formed the view the men were dead," he said. "The families should have been told that life was extinct and the mine should have been sealed."
Coal Services, which provides mine rescue services, was contacted by New Zealand Mines Rescue on Friday evening, soon after the initial blast, and immediately agreed to provide assistance.
Mr Land said Coal Services personnel determined that the miners were deceased on Sunday, some 24 hours after arriving in New Zealand, having examined evidence given by two surviving miners and gas samples taken from the mine.
"Like everybody else we were hoping," Mr Land said.
"It had been an extremely serious and major explosion on Friday evening and the likelihood of any survivors was remote in the extreme."
Mr Land said the first team arrived in New Zealand early on Saturday. Another team was sent on Saturday evening, comprising mines rescue retrieval experts and senior gas analysis experts.
Coal Services professionals were at the disposal of New Zealand authorities upon their arrival.
After determining that the miners would have died in the first explosion, Coal Services sent three additional teams to New Zealand on Sunday and planned to recover the bodies.
Mr Land said the miners must have had "no or little warning" before the first explosion.
He praised the efforts and conduct of Police Superintendent Gary Knowles, given the pressure he was under from distressed families, the media and the local community. "He did everything right and he should be commended for it," Mr Land said.
New Zealand Prime Minister
The mine owner, Pike River Coal, faces an indefinite production shutdown. "It's their only operating asset, and it's shut, and it's going to be shut for the foreseeable future," said IG Markets analyst Cameron Peacock in Melbourne.
"You can't see it opening any time probably within the next six to 12 months. The near-term future is going to be pretty bleak."
"Given the high level of uncertainty regarding the nature of the incident, it is impractical to usefully discuss its potential value implications," Macquarie Group said in a note, cutting its recommendation to "neutral" from "outperform".
"However, it must be highlighted that a possible result is the current equity of Pike River Coal could become worthless."

Parts were all there in good condition. I did clean and lubricate the caliper pins before I installed them. They seemed a little sticky. Once installed everything is working as it should. I've only had the parts on for a few days so I can't say anything about how well they will last.

Coast to coast and across party lines
If you don't think the nation's economic situation is dire, just ask the governors who are seeing firsthand the pain its causing in their state's economies.
That's why this week, a group of 19 governors -- Democratic and Republican alike, from Oklahoma to Oregon and from Vermont to the Virgin Islands -- made a bold statement of bipartisan support for the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act with a letter addressed to the President.
"Families and businesses across the nation are hurting," read the letter, dated February 2, 2009. "Credit markets have seized up, which is affecting both business activity and consumer spending. Unemployment is rising sharply. While we all believe in the importance of free markets, we believe that the markets today need stimulating."
Governors Deval Patrick (D-MA), Arnold Schwarzenegger (R-CA), Bill Ritter Jr. (D-CO), M. Jodi Rell (R-CT), Jack Markell (D-DE), Charlie Crist (R-FL), Pat Quinn (D-IL), Chester J. Culver (D-IA), Jennifer M. Granholm (D-MI), Jon S. Corzine (D-NJ), David A. Paterson (D-NY), Ted Strickland (D-OH), Brad Henry (D-OK), Theodore R. Kulongoski (D-OR), Edward G. Rendell (D - PA), James H. Douglas (R - VT), Timothy M. Kaine (D - VA), John deJongh Jr (D-VI), and Jim Doyle (D-WI) all signed the letter.
We've published the letter, complete with their signatures, here.

Dr. Jeff Mills
As Northwestern Oklahoma State University graduates prepare for their futures, they'll first get some advice from Dr. Jeff Mills, 1987 alumnus and executive director of the Oklahoma State School Boards Association, during the commencement address on Saturday, May 11, at 10:30 a.m. at Ranger Field.
In case of inclement weather, commencement will be held in Percefull Fieldhouse.
Mills was a health and physical education major at Northwestern. In 1989, he began teaching and coaching at Snyder Public Schools. He eventually became the kindergarten through eighth grade principal, head football and wrestling coach.
Being a principal in Snyder helped him further his career in education where he was elementary and high school principal at El Reno Public Schools. He later became superintendent of El Reno Public Schools and Woodward Public Schools.
Because of his desire to provide strong educational foundations, he developed a Character First Program for the Woodward Public Schools and worked with the Chamber of Commerce Education Committee to have volunteers go into the schools to instill good character in the students.
Mills has served on numerous committees including the United Suburban Schools Association (USSA), Cooperative Council for Oklahoma School Administration and the Oklahoma Association of School Administrators.
"I am very interested in building strong coalitions with higher education in the development and placement of future school administrators, teachers and staff," Mills said. "Through my experiences I have found it to be very important for all levels of educational training to work together for the benefit of our students."
MISSION STATEMENT: Northwestern Oklahoma State University provides quality educational and cultural opportunities to learners with diverse needs by cultivating ethical leadership and service, critical thinking and fiscal responsibility.
