Removal & Installation
- Before servicing the vehicle, refer to the Precautions Section. Also see the IMA system disabling before proceeding with any procedure.
Make sure you have the anti-theft code for the radio and the radio presets.
CAUTIONThese vehicles may be equipped with a Supplemental Restraint System (SRS), which uses an air bag. Whenever working near any of the SRS components, such as the impact sensors, the air bag module, steering column and instrument panel, disable the SRS.
Disconnect the negative battery cable and wait for 3 minutes to disable the SRS.
NOTEYou will need a suitable trim tool set when removing the instrument panel, to avoid damaging the components when prying them. Be careful not the scratch the dashboard and other components.
- Remove the instrument panel with the heater control panel, as shown in the accompanying figure.
Remove the self-tapping screws and the heater/climate control panel (A) from the instrument panel (B).
To install:
Installation is the reverse of the removal procedure, noting the following:
- Be sure to install the short black self-tapping screw in the position shown. If a longer screw is used, it will damage the instrument panel.
- After installing, make sure the control panel controls operate properly.
When installing the instrument panel, replace any damaged clips, attach the connectors properly and push the clips securely into place.
NOTEThe ECM idle learn procedure must be performed anytime you disconnect the battery, replace the ECM or detach any of its connectors, replace or clean the throttle body, remove fuses or adjust the idle speed.
Perform the ECM idle learn procedure, as follows:
- Make sure all electrical items (A/C, audio, rear defogger, lights, etc.) are off.
- Start the engine. Hold the engine speed at 3,000 rpm without load (in Park or neutral) until the radiator fan comes on, or the engine coolant temperature reaches 176-221°F (80-100°C).
Let the engine idle for about 5 minutes with the throttle fully closed and with all electrical items off.
NOTEIf the radiator fan comes on, do not include its running time in the 5 minutes.
NOTEThe control panel has a self-diagnostic function.
Run the self-diagnostic function to make sure there are no problems in the system, as follows:
- Turn the ignition switch ON .
- Press the FAN UP button and then the FAN DOWN button. Continue to hold both buttons down.
If there are any abnormalities in the system, the DTC indicator will light up the segment (C, D, I, J, K, L, M or N) corresponding to the error. Then the DTC indicator will alternate every second between displaying 88 (all M or N). To decipher the meaning of the DTC, refer to the Engine Performance & Emission Controls Section. If there are no abnormalities, the segments will not light up.
- To cancel the diagnostic function, turn the ignition switch OFF .

Hi! It has been almost 7 weeks now from my sill excision. The problem is i was pretty sure 5 mm from each side would give me a good change and the base width i was looking for. The surgeon told he indeed removed 5mm from each side but the results are so week. I mean i feel no more than 2 mm are removed.. i still have a large nose,and flaring nostrils..which bothers me a lot. Please could you confirm if this is indeed a 5mm skin removal results? and if i do revision will i hav the result i want?

Revision Rhinoplasty and nostril sill reduction
Residual swelling may subside and give you further info to determine whether you can safely perform another nostril sill reduction.

Right now you probably have a lot of swelling and you should wait six months to a year to see how things look.
Alar base modification
The only one that can confirm for you whether or not 5 mm was removed or not is the surgeon who performed your operation.

Students and teachers have signed an anti-homophobic language petition at Malmesbury School, as part of a pilot scheme called ZeeTee.
The scheme, run by Wilt-shire Council, aims to reduce bullying of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender young people. Malmesbury School has taken it on as part of a crackdown on bullying.
A group – made up of 12 students, parents, governors and staff members – has been put together to help the drive.
Simon Shaw, senior pastoral leader at the school, said: "We started by rewriting the school's bullying policy. We've introduced a confidential text line for students to report bullying.
"There's also a scheme of mini lessons in tutorial time and an intervention scheme, which is a short course for anyone involved in bullying.
"Stopping bullying is a high priority for parents and their kids and this is an ongoing process."
Pupils signed a pledge board, saying they would not use homophobic language, and were given a wristband and badge.
ZeeTee was launched this month and 17 students have become ZeeTee ambassadors, helping to manage the signing process.
Actor Sir Ian McKellen, a supporter of ZeeTee, said in a statement: "Until I visited secondary schools recently, I hadn't realised how much anti-gay bullying goes on.
"By talking frankly about my own life as a gay man and listening to the concerns of staff and students, parents and governors, I hope the visits, arranged by Stonewall, made a difference in the classroom and the playground and also gave confidence to gay students."
This week is anti-bullying week and teachers in all the school's subjects have been setting homework around the bullying theme.

Shakespeare Electronic Conference, Vol. 2, No. 133. Wednesday, 15 May 1991.
Date: Mon, 13 May 1991 20:04:51 -0400
Subject: [Ohio Conference, Library of the Future]
Two subjects:
(1) Ohio Shakespeare Conference, in Maine
Well, *usually* the Ohio Shakespeare Conference is in Ohio. Several
years ago Ohio University was host to a very nice little conference.
But this year Herb Coursen at Bowdoin took the ball and ran with it,
from Ohio to Franklin & Marshall, where he was last year, to Maine, for
a conference with the theme of Shakespeare and the moving image. Herb
is the one who has collected, among other videotapes, about twenty
different version of the Gravedigger scene in *Hamlet*.
(2) Library of the Future, on CD-ROM
As usual with out-of-copyright collections, there are problems
with texts, and this collection does not tell you where it got
its texts from. It is true that the people who answer the phone
are helpful and informative, even good-natured and friendly, but
the software is rudimentary and not that easy to use, and it can be
made to crash (it did for me, at least). It is good to have all those
texts in one place to be searched, but translations are not attributed
(at least not the ones I looked at), some selections are excerpts,
and one has no idea where an English text has come from. I can't
see exactly what audience would benefit from using the disc, since
Galen and Sherlock Holmes do not fit easily in the same bed. The
disc is a neat idea, but I can't see that it would be much more useful
than a Nintendo game, and it might be neglected as soon as any toy.
The idea is also like a Great Books series or the Harvard Classics, but
were either of those sets really used much, except at St. John's?
Sorry to be cynical, but can anybody set me on a better course?

Rather than allowing for a gentle transition, Microsoft opted for the baseball bat to the kneecap and even actively removed API elements that would allow third parties to resurrect the Start menu in Windows 8. All this despite having had a recent model of success to learn from: Apple's complete renovation of its OS and even its processor architecture over a period of several years, while at the same time maintaining concurrent operation, emulation, and a clear path through the woods.
That said, I have to believe Microsoft has an unannounced update waiting in the wings that would restore the classic Start menu if the furor over its absence reaches a high enough pitch. I mean, it would be horribly irresponsible if that were not the case. In IT, we live and breathe change and turmoil. We adapt to new APIs, new frameworks, new elements of computing on a daily basis.
However, the vast majority of the computer-using business community does not. To them, the computer is nothing more than a tool, not something to be carefully inspected, contemplated, and relearned; it's stable, familiar, and functional. Give a carpenter a saw without a handle and see how well that works.
As if annoying the end-user wasn't enough, Microsoft chose to throw this mess onto its server operating system as well, forcing administrators into the warped Metro world. Because clearly, nothing is more enticing to a Windows admin than messing around with sexy, flickering Metro panels (click me! click me!) while fighting an emergent problem. This specifically is a hard pill to swallow because what I've seen of Windows Server 2012 is good stuff on the back end. Marrying it to a disturbing mobile phone UI is just sad.
The culmination of all of these decisions may be like a NASCAR crash during the last few laps where the front runners go down in flames, and the cars in the back of the pack are suddenly viewing the winner's circle. If Microsoft's fortunes play out this way, and we have another Vista or worse, it may not be just a bump in the road for Redmond. It may be the beginning of the end for the company that was so successful with the Start menu but couldn't figure out a way to move forward with new innovation and adapt to changing times. Huh -- sounds a lot like a company called Novell back in the '90s.
If Microsoft's future does bend this way, don't be surprised to see amazingly unlikely players moving into the corporate data center and desktop. Android? Mac? Cloud? It's all possible, and if any number of brilliant companies step into that vacuum like a young, lithe Microsoft did 20 years ago, we'll all be remembering how it used to be when Microsoft ruled the roost.

Awards Countdown - BAFTAs - BAFTA 'slums' it
It was a Sally Field experience for Slumdog Millionaire at this year's Bafta film awards (February 8) as Danny Boyle and his team discovered the British Academy really, really liked their film. Seven awards from 11 nominations, including best film, made it the top dog of the evening and it would be an extremely rash individual who would bet against its fairy-tale journey ending in triumph at the Oscars later this month.

PM to attend Tuesday summit with Mubarak, Abbas, Abdullah (HA´ARETZ NEWS) By Aluf Benn and Amos Harel, Haaretz Correspondents, and Agencies 02/02/05 19:48 (GMT+2)
Source: http://www.haaretzdaily.com/hasen/spages/534966.html
HA'ARETZ} NEWS SERVICE Articles-Index-Top
Prime Minister Ariel Sharon will meet Tuesday with Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak and Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas in a summit to be held in Egypt´s Red Sea resort of Sharm a- Sheikh.
Senior Palestinian officials were also quoted by Reuters as saying that Jordan´s King Abdullah II is also expected to participate in the meeting.
The summit, to discuss further progress in budding Israeli- Palestinian cooperation, came at Mubarak´s initiative. It was announced by Egyptian security chief Omar Suleiman after his Wednesday meeting in Jerusalem with Sharon, during which the prime minister accepted the invitation.
According to Suleiman, Mubarak initiated the summit proposal following progress in security discussions between Israel and the Authority.
Sharon and Abbas were to have met Tuesday in Jerusalem.
The Egyptian presidency said in a statement that Mubarak had invited the leaders to meet "in light of the delicacy of the stage the peace process in the Middle East is going through and in an endeavor to seize the auspicious opportunity to achieve tangible progress on the Palestinian track."
The Egyptian statement, carried by the state news agency MENA, said Mubarak and Sharon would also discuss the possibilities of progress on the Syrian track.
In Cairo earlier Wednesday, Egyptian intelligence chief Omar Suleiman met a delegation from the Palestinian militant group Hamas, led by exiled Hamas leader Khaled Mashaal, a Hamas statement said.
A delegation from the other large militant group, Islamic Jihad, is also expected in Cairo this week.
Egypt had offered to organize a dialogue between Abbas´ Fatah movement, Hamas and Islamic Jihad but Palestinian Foreign Minister Nabil Sha´ath said last week that would no longer be necessary because they had come to terms already.
Sha´ath said Egypt´s role with the militants would be to support and monitor the agreement.
Palestinian Prime Minister Ahmed Qureia said Wednesday that the Palestinians hope the summit will produce a mutual cease-fire, a halt to Israel´s targeted killings of militants and the release of Palestinian prisoners.
Egypt and Jordan "will be insurance of success for a summit," Palestinian Minister Saeb Erekat said.
Erekat said he, former Palestinian minister Mohammed Dahlan and Palestinian Cabinet Secretary Hassan Abu Libdeh are to meet Thursday with Sharon´s chief of staff, Dov Weisglass, and Defense Minister Shaul Mofaz to prepare for the summit.
Senior Israeli Cabinet ministers are also to meet Thursday to discuss the agenda of the summit.
Referring to the relative quiet of recent weeks, Defense Ministry official Amos Gilad told Army Radio on Wednesday that, "There is an opportunity here that must be exploited. All quiet is built on understandings."
Also in Gaza, Brigadier General Aviv Kochavi of the Israel Defense Forces met with the Palestinian security chief in Gaza, Moussa Arafat, an IDF official said. The official, speaking on condition of anonymity said Kochavi asked Arafat to make a more determined effort to stop militants from firing rockets and mortars at Israeli targets.
The IDF´s Deputy Chief of Staff, Dan Halutz, said Wednesday that if Israel receives any intelligence information regarding a potential suicide bomber, the details will be conveyed to the Palestinian security services. In the event that Palestinian authorities don´t take action, the IDF will take care of the threat, Halutz said. (© Copyright 2004 Haaretz. 02/02/05)

South Bay fans have wondered just how good the Olympian Eagles are. They got a chance to find out last Friday as the Eagles squared off against one of the region's traditional top performers at Southwestern College.
The answer? Pretty darn good.
Olympian, which reeled off an 11-0 start last season while playing what some fans in the area criticized as a generally soft schedule, left few doubters after recording a spirited come-from-behind 23-21 non-league victory over host Bonita Vista. The Barons dropped to 0-4 while playing one of the region's toughest preseason slates.
Trailing 14-6 on two touchdowns by the Barons' pass-catching sensation Greg McGhee, the Eagles (2-1) went to work in earnest by scoring 17 unanswered points to take a 23-14 lead.
Bonita Vista scored a late touchdown on an 80-yard pass from McGhee to Chris Moore but the Barons could not mount another threat.
Olympian, which is noted for its running attack, got on the scoreboard via a 44-yard pass from Cobrin Humphrey to Asante Gibson in the second quarter. The Eagle TD was sandwiched between scoring passes from BV quarterback Joel Gutierez to McGhee of 37 and 51 yards.
The visitors scored the only two touchdowns of the third quarter. Alex Cornist (12 carries, 99 yards) broke loose for a 52-yard scoring run and Gibson bettered that on an ensuing 62-yard breakaway jaunt. Gibson then scored on a two-point conversion run to push the Eagles ahead 20-14.
Jovan Gonzalez opened the final quarter with a 38-yard field goal to extend Olympian's lead to nine points.
Olympian rushed 32 times for 262 yards and tacked on 69 yards in passing offense.
Dre Gibson rushed nine times for 50 yards and also returned one kick-off 48 yards. Asante Gibson rushed four times for 103 yards.
The Eagles continue their challenging 2010 preseason schedule by hosting undefeated Madison (3-0) this Friday while the Barons will search for their first win of the season by traveling to British Colombia.
Madison defeated Bonita Vista, 37-14, earlier this season and is coming off a 30-7 non-league victory against Kearny.

Shanghai (AFP) March 11, 2013
Chinese banks cut back lending in February from January, official data showed, due to a tightening of liquidity and fewer working days last month because of the Lunar New Year holiday.
Domestic banks extended 620 billion yuan ($99.3 billion) worth of new loans in February, down from 1.07 trillion yuan in January, the central bank said in a statement on Sunday.
The figure was below market expectations for 700 billion yuan, according to a median forecast of 13 economists polled by Dow Jones Newswires.
Economists said the figure was distorted by the Lunar New Year which fell in February this year, and was also a sign of the central bank's efforts to restrain credit growth from January, when new yuan loans more than doubled from December.
"We believe this reflected a combination of Chinese New Year distortions and the PBOC's (People's Bank of China's) intention to tighten liquidity from a very loose level in January," Goldman Sachs said in a research note on Monday.
"The PBOC's view on the appropriate level of liquidity supply is probably better represented by the combined January and February data," the investment bank said, adding credit growth in March may rebound from February.
Lu Ting, a Hong Kong-based economist at Bank of America Merrill Lynch, said China's monetary policy stance may be shifting from relatively loose to "neutral".
"The current economic recovery may not be solid enough, and inflation is surely not a big threat now to force for an imminent tightening," he said in a research report on Sunday.
The government on Saturday announced a series of economic indicators for February, including slowing industrial production growth and retail sales increases, providing further signs that a budding recovery may be fragile.
But China's inflation hit a 10-month high of 3.2 percent in February, up from January's 2.0 percent, data also showed, as holiday season spending and rapid credit growth accelerated price rises.

Genetic tests can predict who needs higher doses of Plavix
Genetic tests can now help predict which heart patients need higher doses of a common anti-clotting drug, shows a news study that is the latest example of "personalized medicine."
Doctors commonly prescribe the blood thinner Plavix to prevent blood clots in the hearts of people who've survived heart attacks.
Yet nearly one-third of heart patients have genes that can prevent them from properly processing the drug, says cardiologist Jessica Mega, author of the study presented today at the annual meeting of the American Heart Association in Orlando.
Genetic tests can now identify which patients have these mutations.
More importantly, Mega's study shows that tripling or quadrupling the typical dose of Plavix, 75 milligrams a day, helps most patients with these genes to process the drug normally.
"This is the most promising area for personalizing medicine in cardiology," says Christopher Cannon of Harvard Medical School, who wasn't involved in the new study.
Few hospitals today perform these genetic tests, says Mega, an associate physician at Brigham & Women's Hospital at Harvard Medical School, Boston. But doctors might be able to test patients' blood by sending it to a specialized lab.
The study's findings could help patients get the right dose of the most appropriate medication immediately, rather than after trying and failing a series of treatments, says Cam Patterson, chief of cardiology at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill. "You don't want to wait until after you have an event to say, 'Oh, this patient is Plavix-resistant,' " Patterson says. "That could have a big impact on how we treat patients."
Yet Mega notes her study had significant limitations. While it showed that higher Plavix doses made patients' platelets less likely to clot, researchers don't yet know whether those doses will reduce heart attack rates.
And high doses didn't work for everyone. While tripling or quadrupling doses helped those with one copy of the gene variation, high doses did little for those with two copies, the study shows.
The study didn't address whether higher doses actually reduce heart attack rates, Patterson says. Answering that question will require additional studies.
And Mega says heart patients still need to be closely monitored by their doctors. "You don't want patients to suddenly start taking three pills a day on their own," she says.
Still, Patterson says it's reassuring to see that increasing Plavix doses appears safe. Preventing blood clots in a stent — mesh scaffolds used to prop open clogged arteries — is "a life or death issue," Patterson says.
Plavix is the third best-selling drug in the country, with $6.1 billion in sales in 2010, according to IMS Health.
Plavix — also known as clopidogrel — will be available as a generic next year. So giving patients three or four pills may not be prohibitively expensive, Patterson says. Until now, patients who didn't respond to normal Plavix doses often have been prescribed brand-name alternatives — new drugs Effient and Brilinta, Patterson says.
Mega say the findings are encouraging, and point toward a day when doctors no longer have to give "one size fits all" medicine. Cancer specialists have had tools to personalize therapy for years, she notes. For example, doctors can use genetic profiles to predict which early-stage breast cancer patients need chemotherapy and which can safely avoid it. Cardiologists have far fewer genetic tests.
But heart doctors are pursuing one uniquely personalized approach: heart stem cells.
Research presented Monday showed that heart stem cells — taken from patients during surgery, then injected back into their bodies four months later — appear to help the heart muscle repair itself, if only modestly. Researchers caution that the study was very small and preliminary, with just 23 patients, only 14 of whom received the stem cells. Doctors still need to perform long-term follow-up of the patients, who suffered from heart failure, a condition in which the heart can no longer pump enough blood to the rest of the body. Yet another study of stem cells derived from bone marrow cells was disappointing. These cells, while safe, had no benefit for heart failure patients, a presentation showed.
Still, Mega says she hopes her findings will translate into better care for patients.
"Ten years ago, when the human genome was sequenced, there was so much enthusiasm about personalizing care," Mega says. "Now, we're starting to get there."

Ancient Greece: From Prehistoric to Hellenistic Times (Yale Nota Bene)
This compact, comprehensive and illustrated history of ancient Greece takes us from the Stone Age roots of Greek civilisation to the early Hellenistic period following the death of Alexander the Great. Thomas Martin begins with a prehistory of late Stone Age activity that provides background for the conditions of later Greek life. He then describes the civilizations of the Minoans on the island of Crete and of their successors, the Mycanaeans, on the mainland; the Greek Dark Age and the Archaic Age; the Classical Age of Greece in the fifth and fourth centuries B.C.; the transformation of the kingdom of Macedonia into the greatest power in the Greek world; and the period after the death of Alexander the Great in 323 B.C., when monarchies emerging from Alexander's fragmented empire once again came to dominate Greek history. The narrative integrates political, military, social and cultural history, with a focus on the development of the Greek city-state in the eighth to fourth centuries B.C. and on the society, literature and architecture of Athens in its Golden Age.

Optimal household energy management and economic analysis: from sizing to operation scheduling
The study presented in this paper takes part in a project aiming to increase the value of solar production for residential application with a medium-term vision where preferential solar energy subsidies will decrease before to disappear. This study is dedicated to propose and develop optimal energy architecture at supply side, a multi-source system based on photovoltaic (PV) solar energy connecting to main electrical network, taking further into account the effectiveness of intelligent demand side management. To investigate this issue, a method of optimal supplying system sizing and household energy management has been developed. This method, which has been formulated employing Mix Integer Linear Programming (MILP), enables the calculation of the appropriate configuration for power supply system and the optimal operation control to be applied. Using a Net Present Value (NPV) and Probability Index (P.I) basis, the economic analysis allows estimation of the viability of the proposed system under different factors of influence such as renewable energy policies, technology evolutions leading to cheaper installed PV module cost and deregulated electricity market. Simulation results show that, the solution makes it possible for PV power to be significantly valued by the customers without subsidized measures.

The Secretary-General opened the event by presenting Ms. Shoji with her prize and certificate, while noting the importance of youth's involvement in the UN's goals in achieving disarmament and non-proliferation. (The Secretary-General's remarks can be found here.) Upon accepting the award, Ms. Shoji expressed gratitude to the organizers for the award. The copy of her work was presented from the Secretary-General to Ambassador Nishida, who expressed his gratitude for the honor.
In his remarks, Ambassador Nishida congratulated the winners of the competition and welcomed the use of young talent and imagination to raise awareness among the next generation in spreading the message of peace. He stated particular importance Japan attaches to the area of disarmament and non-proliferation, and welcomed the strong ties of cooperation Japan has enjoyed with the United Nations to promote this agenda. Ambassador Nishida also expressed Japan's intent to remain active in the area of disarmament and non-proliferation education.
The contest parallels Japan's efforts to promote the value of disarmament and non-proliferation education. In this vein, Japan, in cooperation with the UN, launched a social media "Poetry for Peace" contest last autumn and hosted the Global Forum on Disarmament and Non-Proliferation Education in Nagasaki this August.

text: iBio, Inc. (NYSE AMEX: IBIO) today announced the engagement of CBR International Corporation (CBR) for strategic regulatory and clinical services to advance iBio's Orphan Drug designated, plant-produced human alpha galactosidase A ("α-Gal A") enzyme candidate for development as a therapeutic option for patients with Fabry disease. "We expect this engagement to significantly accelerate our path to the clinic for this important product application of our platform technology," said Robert Erwin, President of iBio. "CBR managed the successful application for Orphan Drug designation of plant-made α-Gal A, and has substantial experience in this field. They will join the team comprising our regular research and development collaborator, Fraunhofer USA Center for Molecular Biotechnology and our manufacturing partner, Kentucky Bioprocessing, LLC." This Fabry disease therapeutic program is part of iBio's broader program to bring forward approximately ten more candidate proteins for commercialization as "biosimilar" or "biobetter" therapeutic products. iBio intends to advance these candidates at least to a point sufficient to demonstrate the advantages of making them using the iBioLaunch™ platform technology and then enter into collaborative arrangements with industry partners. iBio already has demonstrated the applicability of its platform technology to most therapeutic protein classes, ranging from cytokines and growth factors to enzymes and antibodies. Dr. Jeanne Novak, President and CEO of CBR commented, "Enzyme replacement therapy has been constrained by production limitations, interruptions and treatment cost. Patients with Fabry disease who do not receive enzyme replacement therapy are at increased risk of strokes, heart attack, heart disease, and renal failure. iBio's innovative platform technology promises to add greater capacity for the supply of therapeutic protein biologics so that α-Gal A and other critical enzymes can be made available to more patients who need them in the future. We are confident that CBR's clinical and regulatory expertise and extensive prior experience with α-Gal A will help expedite the development of iBio's Fabry disease product program."

The bass guitar is almost always the unsung hero of any band, but a great bass effects pedal can add serious distinction and character to any bass. Whether you're looking for filters, compressors or just some added oomph for your bottom end, there is an effects pedal out there to keep you sounding your best. With so many pedal options available to you, it's important to have a basic idea of what kind of sound you're trying to achieve. Different pedals provide different effects and no two are exactly alike. For example, pedals such as the Cry Baby 105Q Bass Wah from Dunlop or the PBA-2 Dual Bass Wah from Morley effect the pitch and frequency of your bass by creating a sweeping sound, more commonly described as the "wah wah†sound. This effect can be heard everywhere from Miles Davis' On The Corner record to Metallica's (Anesthesia) Pulling Teeth, which definitely showcases the diversity of a wah pedal's sound. If you're looking for more of a classic fuzz tone for your bass, you'll definitely want to check out the XO Bass Big Muff PI Distortion Effects Pedal from Electro Harmonix or the Hand-Painted Woolly Mammoth Fuzz Bass Effect Pedal from ZVex. The fuzz sound is arguably one of the most distinct in popular music. The effect is used by a diverse group of artist such as Christopher Wolstenholme of Muse, Robert Sledge of the Ben Folds Five, Ken Jordan and Scott Kirkland of the Crystal Method and Scott Shriner of Weezer. Your lower end will cut through any style of music, from indie rock to electronica, when it's powered up by some serious fuzz. Maybe you're not looking for one specific sound, but rather a wider spectrum from which to explore. If that's the case you'll want to check out options such as the BP355 Bass Multi-Effects Pedal from DigiTech or the GT-10B Multi-Effects Pedal. Multi-effects pedals offer you the ability to mix and match between pre-sets and custom settings to come up with sounds that are totally unique, all while keeping you from having to carry a potentially huge pedal board from gig to gig. If you're chasing a truly custom sound, odds are you'll find it with a multi-effects pedal. As you can imagine, the right bass effects pedal for you is simply going to be the one that catches your ear and inspires your playing. Whether you're carefully exploring the fret board or chugging along like a freight train, there is a pedal that will complement your playing style and bring your sound to the next level.

Jailing Is Job For State, Not Private Enterprise
Jailing People Is Job For State, Not Private Enterprise
Locking people up in jails is a job for the state, not for private businesses whose prime motivation will inevitably be to make money out of a PPP venture, says Labour Law and Order spokesperson Clayton Cosgrove.
Commenting on today's announcement by Infrastructure Minister Bill English of a PPP to design, build and operate a new prison at Wiri, Clayton Cosgrove said: "Labour paved the way for the successful implementation of PPPs, but while such ventures might have real merit in terms of building new roads, for example, the private sector cannot be allowed a role in operating prisons in this country.
"Labour doesn't care who builds or designs a prison, but the state should run them. Punishment and rehabilitation are a core function of government. By transferring such a core function, even with so-called safeguards, to the private sector, the Government is shirking its responsibility for the safety of staff and the community if things go wrong."
Clayton Cosgrove said Mr English's claim that a PPP would offer better value for money could not be substantiated in terms of past history with a privately-run prison in New Zealand. "This is a blatant example of ideology. National is rejecting the advice of its own advisers. The last time National tried a privately-run prison it was actually more expensive to run than it was when it was in the hands of the state.
"There is no evidence to suggest privately-operated prisons are better, safer or cheaper to run. Public prisons are fiscally accountable to the state and taxpayers. Privately-run prisons are accountable firstly to shareholders, and this poses a real risk to staff safety, quality and work conditions, as well as rehabilitation services," Clayton Cosgrove said.
"Overseas experience has shown disastrous problems in privately-run prisons, ranging from bribery, corruption, increased violence and drug abuse, through to suicides.
"The Government's aim, for the community's sake, should be to reduce crime, improve rehabilitation of prisoners, and reduce the number of prisoners," Clayton Cosgrove said.
"National is certainly failing on the first count. The crime rate is going up, and a privately-run prison, which will make more money the more prisoners there are, and the less it spends on trying to turn the lives of prisoners around, hardly suggests that either recidivism or the prisoner muster will reduce.
"Labour strongly believes that we need prisons to lock people up who are a threat to the community, but you need a fence at the top of the cliff as well as an ambulance at the bottom. National has no commitment to services designed to keep people from re-offending or out of prison in the first place. The closure of the Te Hurihanga youth justice facility in Hamilton earlier this year proved that convincingly."

This site will be primarily focused on my hobby: video games. I enjoy at least one game in virtually every genre, but my favorites are usually adventure or strategy games. Also, while I enjoy games with a large world and/or sidequests, I find that I don't enjoy worlds that are too massive or games where sidequests are more important than the main gameplay.
The games I've been playing most recently are: Pokemon Blue, The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons, and Portal. In Pokemon, I've been trying to complete the game's Pokedex; I currently have caught about 90 species of Pokemon out of 151. I'm playing Oracle of Seasons in anticipation of the game's re-release for 3DS's "Virtual Console." Finally, I've been playing Portal to better understand the creator's levels before making my own on Portal 2's level creator.
My hope for a future website is that I will be able to create guides like this one for video games that have a smaller presence on the Internet. I'd also like to be able to record progress through games I'm playing and have a place to write down any ramblings I have about the subject of video games. Finally, I might start a repository of custom levels that I've made or found for games that support level creation.

A few weeks ago a teacher walked into our office to talk to me. He said his name was Jarrod and he handed me an envelope. He then proceeded to tell me his story.
Group Front Row with the students
He was a teacher at a local middle school, Rogers Herr, where they are just starting a weight lifting class as an option for their top performing students. The problem, he said, was that the budget for such a class was tiny, and he had to purchase equipment himself for the kids to use. This meant that the students only had 3 bands for the entire class. Turns out that the kids love working out with the bands, but it's not in the budget to get any more.
So we come back to the envelope that is currently in my hands. "Student empowerment is really important to us at Rogers Herr, so the kids decided to write you letters," he told me. I was amazed that this thick envelope was filled with letters from his class, so as soon as he left, I sat down to read all of them. I've attached them here in the blog so you can read them too if you like.
Read the letters (names edited out for their protection)
They're rocking their back and core
Every one of the letters I read made me smile, and really made me want to help these kids out. They really had two requests, 1. Teach us how to use the bands to their full potential, and 2. Help us get more bands. So today I did my best to fulfill part 1, and we had a great time! I showed them a bunch of different full body exercises to try, and they took to them so quickly!
It was great to be there, and show the kids how to use these bands, but even with designed group exercises, it was obvious right away that they were under-equipped. Only about 5-10 kids out of the 22 in the class could use the bands at once, and the rest of the class had to sit around waiting.
So that means its time for part 2 of their request, but we need your help. Up through Thanksgiving we're going to be giving 5% of our sales to this class in form of Rubberbanditz Gear, so the more you buy from us, the more we're able to give to them! And I hope next month to be able to go back there with a pile of bands to hand out for the class.
So that we know you're supporting us on this project, we're also adding a free shipping and a 10% off coupon for you to use. To get free shipping (only in the US, sorry if you're international) and show your support use the code: RHMSSHIP, for 10% off use RHMS10 (but sorry, you can only use one code per order). The more people that use these codes, the more we'll know that you like the cause!
If you're interested in giving to the class directly, please send an email to us at [email protected] and we'll set it up!
What do you guys think of this project? Would you like to see more like this? Let us know in the comments!

A defeat for a teen killer.
Chardon (AP) - An appeals court has upheld the life sentence of a teen gunman who pleaded guilty in a deadly school shooting two years ago in northeastern ohio.
The 11th District Ohio Court of Appeals ruled unanimously Monday in favor of the sentence given to T.J. Lane.
Lane received three life sentences for killing three students in a cafeteria at Chardon High School. He was 17 at the time.
Lane's defense attorneys argued that the Ohio law sending his case to adult court is unconstitutional and his life sentence amounts to cruel and unusual punishment.
Lane wore a t-shirt with "killer" scrawled across it and gestured obscenely at his sentencing.
Prosecutors say Lane gave up his right to appeal his sentence when he voluntarily pleaded guilty.

In the Brady Bunch episode "Greg in the Attic"
Greg and Marsha fight over moving into the attic. But I remember
when early on Greg the Groovy Guy wanted his old room and they were forced
to use the den because there "wasn't" an attic, or it was uninhabitable.
Remember that?
From the Brady Bunch FAQ:
"[5.5] Why did Mike say:
"The attic? That'd be great if Greg were 2 ½ feet tall"?
Mike uttered this line in "Our Son, the Man" in reference to a separate bedroom for Greg. Only problem is, Greg did in fact move to the attic 2 years later in "A Room at the Top". There are several possible explanations for this continuity error:
1) Schwartz decided that the idea of a bachelor
pad for Greg outweighed an
insignificant story constraint.
2) Mike knew that the attic was big enough,
but had collectibles or adult
magazines stashed up there that he didn't want Greg to get his mitts on.
3) After some storm damage or a tree fell
on the house, the roof was
partially rebuilt, raising the clearance of the rafters in the process.
4) All the junk stored up in the attic (which
was cleaned out the day
Greg moved in) made it impractical for a taller person to live up there.
Other theories state that the house was actually
built by M.C. Escher
(thanks, Chris Mulvihill) or Greg shrunk to a height of 2 ½ feet in the

Urban Market Finds
At the end of the day, it wasn't about the "stuff" so much as the whole experience. I got to give Maura Cannon a big hug, saw some of my wonderful card clients, bumped into a few blog readers and enjoyed a delicious pimento cheese sandwich, ginger cookie and lavender earl grey tea with my mom and sister.
Now a question for you (since I don't know where to put my candlesticks just yet): do you have to know where something will go before you bring it home, or are you a "buy it because you love it" and "find a place for it later" person? Just curious!

If it "winks" at you, take it home!ReplyDelete
Glad you had a lovely day at the Urban Market.
Oooh...I like that, Jane! Wink, wink!ReplyDelete
I LOVED that candlestick...and seeing your beautiful, smiling face on your blog! I'm definitely a spontaneous "buy it because I love it gal!" My weakness is children's clothes, though.ReplyDelete
The Urban Market is more fun than Last Call at Neimans or the $25 purse bin at A Bientot. It is a also a good reason to keep the old Suburban!ReplyDelete
I am sick to have missed it this month, but it looks like you found some wonderful things.
Ashley, I'm glad I was broke when my girls were babies because I'm a big time sucker for adorable baby girl clothes! I'm already hoping to have some granddaughters in my future!ReplyDelete
Waverly, I totally agree! I bet the next one will have a special something just for you!

History lesson: the backstory of Tekken's Nina is revealed in Death By Degrees.
Death By Degrees
Runs on: PS2
Price: $89.95
Classification: MA15+
Rating: * * * ½
While the finishing touches are put on the fifth King of Iron Fist Tournament, one of Tekken's most popular fighters has stepped out of the ring to star in her own adventure.
Nina Williams is a spy and assassin hired by the CIA. Her brief is to expose a terrorist organisation's plan to hold the planet to ransom with a secret weapon.
Chronologically, the game is a prequel to the Tekken series. Fans will appreciate the story as the game progresses.
The action is a mix of stealth, puzzle solving and frantic combat. To help with her objectives, Nina's deadly martial arts skills are augmented with firearms and blades.
As in Rise to Honour on PS2, players can counter attacks from all directions by flicking both analog sticks. The system feels more like fighting than simply pressing buttons, but will test most casual gamers' dexterity. A levelling-up system opens more advanced moves as you battle through the game.
The critical strike moves are a great touch. When these are available during a fight, the view can be changed to X-ray vision, allowing certain body parts to be targeted so maximum damage can be inflicted.
In addition to combat, Nina's other activities involve reconnaissance and puzzles. She must often sneak around undetected.
The game's 18 missions take less than an hour each to complete. Success lets players unlock additional modes such as Nina's sister Anna, plus a collection of mini games.
Endgame: Nina's solo outing fails to rise to the calibre of the Tekken series, though her fans will have fun.

NEW: Davis keyway cutters can now be ordered with Titanium
and other coatings to enhance tool life when
cutting real tough alloys like high chrome stainless steels.
|Using the mutiple tooth cuter principle, the Davis Keyseater is the fastest cutting, most precise, and easiest to operate keyseater on the market.
Davis manufactures and stocks standard Inch and Metric sizes of cutters and bushings for use on all Davis Keyseaters. They are designed and manufactured to exacting specifications to obtain the highest efficiency from Davis Keyseater Machines. Radius cutters, angle cutters, and cutters made to sizes, profiles and length other than standard, as well as special size bushings are available on request. Davis will also sharpen your old Davis cutters.
Davis cutters virtually eliminate the necessity of frequent re-sharpening, resulting in longer tool life. Often it is possible to drive the cutter at a constant speed, regardless of the material or the size of the keyway being cut.
Keyseater Cutters made of high speed tool steel with proper rake, clearance and hardness cut efficiently. Using a work locating bushing ensures concentricity and allows for fast set-up of parts.
Many people call these cutters " broaches ". Our opinion is that broaches have tapered teeth. Davis cutters have parallel teeth.
AF Cutters
AFS Cutters
Special Cutters
AF Series cutters are designed with side clearance, a 10 degree rake angle and a relief angle fro the higher speeds and feeds demanded by automatic cutting. They are accurately hardened and ground to provide optimum cutting efficiency and better finishes.
Available in 16 and 20" lengths only.
AFS Series cutters are AF cutters with a staggered tooth configuration. They cut more efficiently and do not load with chips when cuting keyways over 5" long which are 1/2" in size or larger. In many cases they eliminate the need to take a pilot cut. They are designed for use in the model 15 machines but can also be used in the manual machines.
Available up to 30" long.
|AF and AFS cutters are available to meet your needs for keyways that are not standard, such as radius cutters, angle cutters as well as cutters made to your special size, profile and / or length requirements. Special bushings are also available to meet your needs of bore / keyways combinations. Send us your part drawing or specifications for a quote.
Examples of custom made cutters.
|Note to customers with Older Davis Model 5 Keyseaters
#5 keyseaters up to serial number 5-1363 were made with NON-self centering cutter holders. These older cutter holders can accept cutters with a maximum shank width of 1". To fit new AF and AFS style cutters from 1" to 1 1/2" there are two solutions.
• upgrade the cutter holder to the current self centering style which will accept cutters to 1 1/2" and give the added convenience of the self centering feature.
• continue to use the old manual adjusting style cutter holders and reduce the shank width of all cutters over 1" to fit it. The cutters are fully hardened so they must be ground. Davis will produce cutters with this relief step for an additional charge to the regular cutter price.
Furthermore on some of the really ancient machines ( Davis has been making these for over 85 years, so long the adjective does apply ), fitting the new cutter head can become a major re-build and is not practical.

Consolidation in the goldmining industry is continuing at a frenetic pace, with
Mid-tier goldminers have been swept by a wave of consolidation that looks likely to continue in the sector as the price of the precious metal remains close to record levels. This year investors have seen
Kingsgate's move on Dominion has confirmed Macquarie Group's view that the miner is eager to grow into the space left by the departure of Lihir Gold following its merger with Newcrest Mining.
"Kingsgate is dedicated to growing into the void between Newcrest and the daylight to the next largest ASX [Australian Stock Exchange-listed] gold producers by market cap," Macquarie Group analyst Sophie Spartalis said.
It has taken the first step to achieving this by making a $376 million friendly takeover offer for Dominion Mining, which produces 100,000 ounces a year.
The takeover proposal has been unanimously recommended by the Dominion board. Dominion shareholders will get 0.3 Kingsgate shares for each of the securities they own.
Dominion has just one producing asset, the Challenger gold mine in South Australia. The mine is forecast to produce 100,000 ounces of gold in financial year 2011 at an operating cost of $550 an ounce.
The Challenger mine has a Joint Ore Reserves Committee-compliant reserve of 420,000 ounces and resources of 950,000 ounces, implying a minimum mine life of four years.
The acquisition of Dominion may be the first in a series of moves by Kingsgate. Already there are reports that the miner is looking to acquire the Mount Kare gold project located in Papua New Guinea.
The former Toronto-listed Buffalo Gold was the last known owner of Mount Kare, which has a resource estimate of 1.4 million ounces and estimated extraction costs of $US550 an ounce.
Meanwhile, expansion plans at the miner's Garden Well deposit could lift production to 250,000 ounces a year. One thing Regis has going against it as a takeover target is its valuation.
Over the year the company has put on 144 per cent and is trading close to a record high. Before the Kingsgate offer, Dominion was down 23 per cent for the year.
Production at
Troy Resources recorded a net loss of $6.74 million for the year ended June 30, but is hoping for a turnaround this year as production shifts from its Sandstone project to Andorinhas and Casaposo projects.
Bell Potter expects Andorinhas to produce 50,000 ounces a year by 2012, while Casposo is tipped to produce 100,000 ounces.

There are lots of different kinds of dads—traditional, step-parent or a single parent. Their roles are changing. Dads and men are becoming more involved with helping to grow up kids and act as role models.
When dads are involved with their kids every day it builds stronger relationships. Kids do different things with men than they do with women.
Sometimes it can be hard being a father but it is important to stay on track because you are important to your family. As a father you have many new responsibilities and things will change for you.
Your relationship with the mother of your children will change and while your kids are growing up you will have less time to spend with each other.
New dads might sometimes feel left out when the baby is born because the mum has less time and energy to spend with them.
Your help to look after the new baby will help everyone. It is also a good way to get to know your kids and learn about being a dad.
Being a strong role model is important for fathers
How you act teaches your kids how to act when they grow up. Some ideas that might help being a strong role model include:
- Teach your kids respect by being a good role model.
- Your daughter will learn about male/female relationships by watching you—it is important she sees you showing care and respect to women in the family.
- Your son will watch you and copy what you do—this is how he learns about being a man, male/female relationships, friendships and his role in the community and family.
Men say they're doing a good job when their kids are:
- happy, healthy and strong
- doing well at school to have enough education to get a job
- staying out of trouble with the police
- staying in touch with family and community when they grow up
- showing respect for family, elders and others in the community
- staying in a happy relationship when they grow up.
Benefits for children who have a strong relationship with their father:
- Better results at school
- Less likely to get into trouble
- Have better relationships
- Have a stronger connection with their community

"Cat Scat" by Eamon Grennan
Poetry 180: A Poem a Day for American High Schools, Hosted by Billy Collins, U.S. Poet Laureate, 2001-2003
Back to Full List of 180 Poems
Cat Scat
I am watching Cleo listening, our cat listening to Mozart's Magic Flute. What can she be hearing? What can the air carry into her ears like that, her ears swivelling like radio dishes that are tuned to all the noise of the world, flat and sharp, high and low, a scramble of this and that she can decode like nobody's business, acrobat of random airs as she is? Although of course a bat is better at it, sifting out of its acoustic habitat the sound of the very shape of things automat- ically-- and on the wing, at that. The Magic Flute! What a joy it is, I feel, and wonder (to the end this little scat) does , or can, the cat.
