DPS releases name of officer in fatal La Joya chase
Thu, 01 Nov 2012 22:30:14 GMT —
The Texas Department of Public Safety has released the name of the state trooper who fired on a fleeing pickup truck near the U.S.-Mexico border, killing two illegal immigrants who were hiding under a blanket in the bed.
DPS tactical flight officer Miguel Avila had been placed on administrative leave immediately following the Oct. 25 incident near La Joya, but the agency said Thursday he had returned to work, though he has been reassigned to administrative duties.
The agency's statement reiterated its earlier comments that troopers believed they were pursuing a covered a drug load when shots were fired from a helicopter to disable the vehicle.
They believed the driver's recklessness was a threat to the public, including elementary and middle schools less than three miles away.DPS Update on Officer Involved Shooting in Hidalgo County
AUSTIN " On October 31, the Texas Rangers provided an overview of the investigation to Hidalgo County District Attorney Rene Guerra. The Texas Rangers will continue the investigation, and will follow up on any leads and provide any additional information or assistance requested by District Attorney Guerra.
The DPS tactical flight officer, Miguel Avila, who discharged his weapon, was originally placed on leave with pay, and has since returned to duty; however, he is currently reassigned to administrative duties pending the outcome of this investigation.
At this point the investigation has identified the following:
At approximately 3 p.m. on October 25, 2012, Texas Parks and Wildlife Department game wardens attempted to stop a suspicious red pickup truck on an unpaved road in Hidalgo County. The truck refused to stop and began driving at a high rate of speed. The game wardens requested assistance, and a DPS helicopter responded, locating the pickup truck after it had been pursued by the game wardens for approximately 6.8 miles.
The truck was traveling at a dangerously high rate of speed. The vehicle appeared to have a typical covered drug load in the bed of the truck, based upon numerous similar high speed pursuits that have previously taken place in the area.
The pickup truck continued to speed recklessly toward William J. Clinton Elementary School, Dr. Javier Saenz Middle School and Salinas Elementary at a time of day when the children are typically released from school, posing an immediate threat to the school children and motoring public.
The DPS tactical flight officer shot multiple times from the helicopter in an effort to disable the vehicle TMs tires until it came to a stop within 2.6 miles of William J Clinton Elementary School and Dr. Javier Saenz Middle School. The entire pursuit lasted approximately 14.3 miles.
A dark colored blanket covered the bed of the truck and remained intact throughout the pursuit, covering a suspected drug load. No people were observed in the bed of the pickup truck until it came to a stop and several people were then observed running from the vehicle. Seven illegal aliens from Guatemala were captured and detained near the scene, one of whom was injured and transported to a local hospital for medical attention. An eighth illegal alien, subsequently identified as a juvenile Mexican national, was apprehended later that day. Two others are deceased.
Although it is very tragic that two lives were lost, had the vehicle continued recklessly speeding through the school zone, any number of innocent bystanders or young lives could have been lost or suffered serious bodily injury. There have been any number of people providing speculative commentary and opinions about this case, most of which has no basis in fact, and I would ask that they withhold judgment until the investigation is completed and reviewed by the District Attorney and grand jury. Jumping to final conclusions without knowing all the facts and circumstances is not only counterproductive but it TMs irresponsible. Anytime an incident like this occurs, it is important to review all related policies, which we are doing at this time, said DPS Director Steven McCraw.
Please visit the following link to view slides related to the incident: http://www.txdps.state.tx.us/director_staff/media_and_communications/pressSlides.pdf.
The first slide reflects the route of the pursuit including the location of passing vehicles, the locations where the suspect truck was fired upon and came to a stop, and the schools in the path of the fleeing vehicle, as well as the point in which the helicopter joined the pursuit. The second slide reflects the number of pursuits, drug and currency seizures from 2009 to 2012, as well as the schools in the area.
No further information is available at this time. This investigation continues and additional information will only be released as appropriate.

Like to get some insight from Pacers fans on impact of losing Shaw this season and replacing him with Nate.
Watching Vogel the other night contrasts in comparision to him as a rookie or even last year prior to playoffs in that he rides officials more than I am accustomed to seeing. Typically Vogel stands with arms crosses and has an everything is good look. The other nite vs NO's he was very much into it. To the point I thought he might get T'd up. lool. I still remember Frankie V's first T... I kept waiting for that one and I remember correctly it was against the Bulls. Coach Vogel had enough.
I wonder if Shaw had a calming affect on Coach Vogel. I hated seeing Shaw go.. I think the players really respected him. But Shaw deserves the opportunity to coach in this league.
How do you all see Nate impacting our coaching staff. I really like McMillen, just hoping he is a good fit here. I know his strengths I believe are defense but I may be wrong. He also won COY once didn't he.
Overall, like to give it some time first but do you all see McMillen as solid replacement for Shaw?? How will Nate impact our team???

Topic: A few more thoughts
Considering that just as recently as three years ago very little research has gone into this cancer I must say....we have come a long way. And, I must emphasize that our little community (The Cholangiocarcinoma Foundation, comprised of members in the US and worldwide) has been an intricate part of this welcome development. But, we have a long way to go. Together we must propel furthering research of this cancer. Pardon for borrowing the expression from someone famous:

White placed on 60-day DL with elbow sprain
HOUSTON -- The Astros made a major roster move following Saturday's victory over the Cubs, placing right-hander Alex White on the 60-day disabled list.
White suffered a sprained elbow in Friday's game. White started the game and was scheduled to pitch two innings, but was pulled by manager Bo Porter after one inning when he complained of right elbow soreness.
White was scheduled to be Houston's long reliever.
The Astros also purchased the contract of veteran reliever Edgar Gonzalez from Triple-A Oklahoma City to replace White.
"He will fill that role as the long man out of the bullpen," Porter said of Gonzalez.
White gave up three hits and three earned runs in the one inning on Friday, striking out one and walking one.
"He was only going to go two innings, anyway," Porter said. "You want to get him out and get him treatment."

So, all winter I practiced the hammer drills, and throwing putters at my basket in the basement. I felt like this has given me a much better understanding of the pivot and wrist action, but now I'm struggling in the field. Now that the weather is better, I have been practicing in a field by my house, mostly keeping to Champ and Star Leopards with a Star Teebird or two thrown in the mix. Last night, however, I could not keep the nose down on these discs, and I have not had this problem for years. It's a little frustrating, b/c even with the nose up angle, they were going a good 40 feet further than I was throwing them last year, and I can't help to think that I'd be getting more distance if I could get the nose down. It's also making me doubt my ability to throw faster, more nose angle sensitive discs, so I need some advice. I feel like I'm getting my weight forward, but not sure if I had a wrist down orientation. By the time I started experimenting with this, it was getting too dark to see my discs, so I called it a night. I also messed around with actively extending my wrist. This seemed to keep the nose down better, but took a lot of distance off my throw, or sometimes caused turn overs, which I think was a result of rolling my wrist while trying to actively extend it.
Has anyone else had this problem occure with slower, less nose sensitive discs, and able to remedy it?

LOS ANGELES - California's students may not have so many "bubbles" to fill in on state standardized tests in the future.
Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom Torlakson was slated Tuesday to unveil a proposal for a system of student achievement testing that is expected to emphasize critical thinking skills over choosing the best answer under a multiple choice method.
Torlakson's proposal was culled from the recommendations of a task force that studied new testing methods for six months last year under a mandate from the state Legislature. The goal is to have testing reflect the analysis and problem-solving skills that are stressed under the new national curriculum known as Common Core State Standards, which is being rolled out across California.
Several themes emerged during the task force's research, including a requirement for students to write more extended and expressive responses, said Norman Gold, a Berkeley education consultant who served on the committee.
"There's a move away from filling in bubbles and toward performance tasks," said Gold, who added that he had not seen the superintendent's final proposal. "We're all very much in favor of going away from the bubble."
Additionally, the committee also recommended "matrix testing," in which a class is tested on different skills to provide a better overview of what the class learned as a whole.
"This would test a bigger sample of the curriculum," Gold said. The committee also recommended more accommodations for English learners and students with disabilities to more accurately gauge their knowledge.
Students starting to learn English, for example, should be tested in their primary language, have tests with simplified instructions and glossaries, and even have exams delivered by audio. With computerized testing, that can all be done easily, Gold said.
Another committee recommendation was to start testing students in the third grade, instead of second. Federal standards call for testing to start in third grade.
"They are too young in second grade," said Cecelia Mansfield, legislative advocate for the California Parent Teacher Association, who served on the task force.
The committee also recommended changes in the high school exit exam to make it more oriented toward skills employers are seeking, such as problem-solving, instead of just mastery of knowledge, Mansfield said. One suggestion was that part of the test involve a student project that would include collaboration.
State standardized tests measure student progress mainly in English language arts and math, and qualify high school students for graduation.
Results are used largely to judge how well schools are doing their job and are a key factor in a school's so-called "academic performance index," a ranking that enables parents and the community to easily compare schools.
The new testing system is scheduled to be rolled out in the 2014-15 school year after it is approved by the lawmakers and the governor.

ANOTHER Throwback Thursday post about an early encounter of mine here in The Duke City - R.I.P., Jan.
I first moved here in 1993, armed with a Bachelor's Degree in Rhetoric and a high degree of respect for the likes of The Beats, Bukowski, Mary Jane, and things which are not mechanized. I owned no car & no TV. I arrived on Greyhound via Denver, with 750 bucks in my pocket from selling my 1976 Silver VW Beetle (painted with Black and White polka dots and Yin & Yangs on the wheels-- or is that Yins and Yangs...). The girl that bought it called me the next day asking if I would buy it back from her because her boyfriend was so mad that she bought "a clown car". Some months and an additional owner later I visited it after it had been painted "Champagne Pink"...
My college buddy with whom I had a loosely based agreement to "meet up" with after graduation had an English degree built entirely on his poetry skills. I know people throw this word around but he truly was a poet. He exhibited an even more profound mortal fear of technology and modern conveniences than I, one-upping me by refusing to own even a blender. Our post-baccalaureate soul searching pan-country jaunts crossed paths in Colorado- he on his way back east and I on my way out west. Despite our subdued efforts to meet up for a beer at buddy "UE" (Eugene) Takahashi's place in Boulder, we missed each other by a day and connected over the phone.
"Of all the places I went through I think I liked Albuquerque the best" he told me. "So if you're getting a place there- get a two-bedroom. I'll be out in 2 weeks."
So it was decided. Albuquerque would be where we would conquer the world, 2 medium length, messy-haired dudes seething with boyish enthusiasm and nearly unparalleled Scrabble skills (is that what 100K in Liberal Arts education gets you?).
Those days on Madison Ave. across from the "Zia Tres" Apartments were subsistence at its basest, at least for two guys from a liberal arts college in Maine- one a private school educated son of a Massachusetts judge (him), the other a public school educated son of a soon to be convicted felon (me). I slept under a sleeping bag on a box spring and mattress buttressed by milk crates yoinked from behind the old John Brooks Food Town on Lomas across from (the bigger) Los Cuates. My roommate again outdid me by sleeping on a tatami mat on the hardwood floors, revealed to us after pulling the nasty brown "cottage cheese" carpet. The rent was $425 a month. Sundays were "rice and tamari night".
We both got jobs as bus boys- he at a new restaurant downtown called Rio Bravo (anyone remember this?) located I think where the ill-fated Club 7 was, and I at Nob Hill Bistro (anyone remember that one?-- nee Central Deli?") located where Vivace is. The Rio Bravo was hip and young and cool both in the type of employees they hired and in the spiciness of the menu offerings. The Nob Hill Bistro was pomp and circumstance, with a mirrored wall, a giant Rousseau mural and thick French sauces like "Havarti Dill".
One day, at the Nob Hill Bistro, having ascended to the lofty post of lunchtime waiter, I served a 40-ish year old woman who dined solo, and whom I'd seen in there for lunch a few times in my busboy days. I had also noticed her many times previously, walking slowly up and down Central in Nob Hill late morning and early afternoons. It was during those precious moments before the patrons arrive, when tuxedo clad wait staff stand outside of busy Central Ave. cafes spiritually beckoning all high tippers whilst lending some class and refinement to the establishment as a whole-- "Wow, a lunch place with waiters in Tuxedo shirts. I'll have to try that...". (At least that was my rationale for doing it myself back in the day).
As I served her, I noticed the manner in which she chose her words-- the most precise of manners, actually. The rhetor in me really appreciated that. She savored every spoonful of that French Onion Soup (topped with a puff pastry, natch) and asked careful questions regarding its preparation. She seemed to savor life itself, her lunchtime dining experience was merely the conduit. She was slow and deliberate in her actions, had a puppy dog face and a remarkable yet small paunch in her belly, which she attempted to hide by only wearing dresses- oddly, it only served to accentuate it. She was small, maybe 5 foot 1, and was a bit of a throwback to an earlier time in the way she dressed and comported herself. Her overall appearance belied her age, frankly. She was 40 going on 80. I never really thought of her as attractive, or in a sexual way, but she imbued a sense of chivalry in me, or at least a need for me to help her out, be nice to her, be her companion, something. I thought she was lonely, but not in a pathetic way. She was not desperate. She didn't need anyone.
The intoxicating moment for me came, when I hustled to the back to use the credit card machine in my usual manic way, and I read on her card that her name was "Jan Kerouac". The copious hairs on my forearms stood at attention. I was born and partly grew up in Lowell, Massachusetts and that name is obviously near and dear to me. I have visited the grave site, the statue in the slightly underwhelming Jack Kerouac Park in the mill district. I have read all that there is to read. But this was different. This was Beat flesh and blood. This was knee-buckling.
As I approached the table with her receipt and requested her signature, the rhetorician (me) said, "I don't mean to pry... I grew up in Lowell Mass.... Kerouac is not a very common name... (blurting) are you related to Jack Kerouac?" At least that's what i thought i said... I'll bet it was actually even more stammered and choppy, with some shaking for good measure. I fully expected her to say, "No, but my family's from Quebec and i'm sure we're distantly related- I get that all the time, blah blah blah..." But no.
While I stood there, hunched over the prim little front window table with its white on white linens, on baited breath...
She said, "Yeah, I'm his daughter."

NORWALK - A man who sustained multiple gunshot wounds apparently drove himself to a local hospital, where he died shortly after, authorities said Thursday.
Deputies responded around 4 a.m. Wednesday to a call of shots fired in the 14000 block of Gard Avenue, near Rosecrans Avenue, according to Deputy Don Walker of the Sheriff's Headquarters Bureau.
Deputies checked the neighborhood and area hospitals and located a gunshot victim who had been reported shot near the location, Walker said, adding that the victim was pronounced dead at the hospital.
"Detectives are continuing their investigation into the victim's identification and motive for the shooting," Walker said.
Ed Winter, assistant chief of the Los Angeles County Coroner's Office, said Thursday morning that the victim's next of kin needs to be notified before the release of the man's identification.
Anyone with information about this incident is encouraged to contact the Sheriff's Department Homicide Bureau at 323-890-5500.

Mocha Brownies
As I was trying to figure out what to make this week, I realized I've never made brownies with frosting. I guess that's not completely true. I've made brownies with peanut butter frosting and chocolate ganache and I've also made Texas sheet cake. But never just brownies with just some sort of frosting. I decided to do that this week. Hubby requested mocha brownies, so I upped the amount of coffee in the brownie batter and made some coffee flavored frosting.
I used my go-to brownie recipe. It never fails me. It already calls for instant coffee, so I just bumped it up to 1 Tbsp. I used 1 Tbsp in the frosting as well. These brownies had a great jolt from the caffeine and everyone seemed to enjoy them. I couldn't wait to try these, so I frosted and cut them while they weren't completely cool. I love that these brownies have chocolate chips in them. So when you eat them still warm, the chocolate chips are all gooey and delicious!
Check out my entire week of bars and brownies here.
Mocha Brownies
Yield: ~36
For the Brownies
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
2 1/4 cups sugar
4 large eggs
1 1/4 cups cocoa
1 tsp salt
1 tsp baking powder
1 Tbsp espresso powder, optional
1 Tbsp vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups chocolate chips
For the Frosting
1/2 cup butter
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 cups powdered sugar
1 1/2 Tbsp milk
1 Tbsp instant coffee
For the Brownies
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 9" x 13" pan
In a saucepan set over low heat, melt the butter, then add the sugar and stir to combine. Return the mixture to the heat briefly, just until it's hot, but not bubbling; it'll become shiny looking as you stir it. Heating this mixture a second time will dissolve more of the sugar, which will yield a shiny top crust on your brownies.
Transfer the sugar mixture to a medium-sized mixing bowl, if you've heated it in a saucepan. Stir in the cocoa, salt, baking powder, espresso powder, and vanilla.
Whisk in the eggs, stirring until smooth.
Add the flour and chips, again stirring until smooth.
Spoon the batter into a lightly greased 9" x 13" pan.
Bake the brownies for about 30 minutes, until a cake tester inserted into the center comes out clean, or with just a few moist crumbs clinging to it. The brownies should feel set on the edges, and the center should look very moist, but not uncooked.
Remove them from the oven and cool completely on a rack.
For the Frosting
In a bowl cream butter and vanilla. Add powdered sugar and beat on medium speed. Dissolve instant coffee in milk and add to the mixture. Beat until lightly and fluffy.
Spread the frosting over the cooled brownies.

Mmmm, brownies and frosting, how decadent!
I could use that extra caffeine jolt right about now!
Are you a fan of mint & chocolate? My favorite frosted brownies that my grandma always made had a layer of mint frosting and then a chocolate glaze. But I heart coffee + chocolate too 🙂
In that last picture the melty chocolate chip is starting at me! It looks soooo delicious! I love anything with coffee flavors, so these are right up my alley!
I already know these are good b/c you used my go-to recipe for brownies, too! haha The frosting looks perfect. I must make these soon.
Oh boy does that look good!
Your week of brownies is such a cute idea! This is my favorite so far – the frosting just takes them over the top!
I have to admit that I just love boxed brownies, but now the photo of these want me to try making them from scratch again!

Any solution to that as well? Thanks!

You must have the Weatherlink software running to have Wunderground update every minute.
Open up Weatherlink and go to File>Wunderground Settings. Change the update interval to 1 minute. Should work after that.
And yes, Wunderground has issues with wind speeds. The wind speed data there is basically useless.

Two years away...
Kyrie Irving is a hot-headed little bitch.
not used to building a lead in the 4th, usually that is the time ours errodes
getting shoved by a star player earns you a technical in this league.
Unbelievable the way the refs have been bailing out Irving. Misses a layup, late whistle against Calderon. Can't get by Lucas, give him a technical.
irving off the glass, nice
whoa, another phantom call
why kleiza...
Two years away...
Whatever. There was nothing you can do about it! It's a superstar driven league. Superstars or superstars in the making, like Irving, is going get the benefit out of the doubt over the little guy like Lucas! Welcome to the damn NBA!
Amir with the +1s tonight... what is that, his third?
man it's so nice when we play as a TEAM!! just like we did last year without that one guy

Santa Cruz >> To save money, 55-year-old grandmother Ernestina Saldana rides her electric wheelchair up a mile-long hill to reach Santa Cruz Gardens Elementary School.
Saldana, who mentors and tutors students five days a week, commutes from Soquel's Osocales Community Mobile Home park. Riding up Thurber Lane is not a problem, she said.
"It's going down that's difficult," Saldana said. "And don't try to do it when it's raining."
Saldana works for the federally-funded Foster Grandparent Program, which trains low-income seniors to assist teachers in nearly 40 Santa Cruz County schools. Unlike a teacher's aide, foster grandparents don't assist with administrative or disciplinary tasks, but instead focus on supportive mentoring, said Chris Greenwood, program coordinator.
Income gap
Saldana receives around $200 per month for her 25-hour weekly commitment. The stipend makes a difference, she said, since she receives $1,365 in disability benefits each month. After rent, she said she's left with $65 and relies on food stamps, church pantries and friends for necessities.
Greenwood said the program, which provides transportation reimbursement and a lunch stipend, attracts seniors who want to volunteer but are deterred by out-of-pocket expenses. Applicants must be 55 or older and make less than $22,000 per year.
The program employed around 80 seniors last year, and 15 are on the waitlist, Greenwood said.
The county's single seniors need a minimum income of $29,223 to afford rent, food, healthcare and transportation, according to UCLA's 2011 Elder Index, a county-specific measure based on cost of living. The median social security income in 2011 was $12,523 — leaving a nearly $17,000 gap, which leaves seniors dependent on relatives, resource centers and subsidy programs for basic needs, said Bob Campbell, program director at Seniors Council, the Aptos-based nonprofit that runs the local Foster Grandparent chapter.
"It's a third-world kind of thing," Campbell said. "Any kind of food sources they can get for free, they take advantage."
Building community
Since immigrating to the U.S. from Mexico in 1987, Saldana has bounced around Central California with her husband and children, working as a teacher and program specialist, most recently in Merced.
A divorce took away her support system while a car accident left her disabled and unemployed. In 2012, she decided to return to Santa Cruz County, where two of her children lived, and she was unemployed for more than a year before finding the Foster Grandparents Program.
"I wake up really early," Saldana said. "Now I have somewhere to go."
She said helping children makes her feel useful and fulfilled.
"There's a difference between living and surviving," Saldana said.
She said she senses isolation in her mobile home park, occupied mostly by seniors, who stay at home, watch TV and don't know their neighbors.
"Because we are not as vocal as a mom with hungry children, society tends to forget about us," Saldana said.
Poverty affects seniors in a way that's about more than just housing and food, she said.
"It's having somebody to talk to, not just a cat or dog," she said.
Saldana said she looks forward to the program's monthly luncheons, where as the youngest member she learns from her peers' wisdom.
"There's this exchange, that gives you a place to go, a reason to get up in the morning, to put in your nice earrings or your new shoes," Saldana said.
Impact on kids
Saldana supports a mixed fourth- and fifth-grade classroom, taking individuals and small groups aside for academic help, sometimes in Spanish.
According to teacher Lori Makita, about half of the class is economically disadvantaged and 30 percent are English language learners.
Without a teacher's aide, Makita said she appreciates Saldana's instructional help, but what's more is the emotional support she provides for students.
"There's a hierarchy of needs that kids need before they can start to work," Makita said. "So many kids today just want someone to sit down with them and listen to them for five minutes."
Student Mateo Mora said working with Saldana is like working with a cross between a teacher and a friend.
"If something's on your mind and stopping you from work, you can tell her," Mateo said.
Student Brigida Medina reads in Spanish with Saldana every week. Brigida said Saldana has taught her that making mistakes is OK.
"She's a teacher but we get along pretty well," Brigida said. "She's kind of like a grandma to me."

DETROIT - The younger brother of an 8-year-old girl told children's advocacy workers he watched as she was stabbed to death in their Detroit home.
Tameria Greene was found bleeding on the floor of the family's apartment on Dec 30.
Mother, Semeria Greene is charged with murder for the slaying of Tameria.
She was arrested and her four other sons were taken into protective custody.
A petition filed Monday in Wayne County Juvenile Court on behalf of the state Department of Human Services reveals that Tameria's 4-year-old brother witnessed her murder.
Watch: Documents reveal more about slain Detroit girl's home life.
The petition was filed in a neglect case involving Greene's four sons.
It says the boy told child advocacy workers that she "had a big knife and cut his sister and his mother killed Ti-Ti."
Greene was previously arraigned on felony murder and child abuse charges.
She pleaded not guilty.
The state wants to end Greene's parental rights to her other children.
In juvenile court on Monday, the Department of Human Services recommended the boys be removed from the family's custody and be put up for adoption.
The father of three of the boys was in court to fight for custody.
~Semeria Greene during her arraignment~
Watch: Court blunder blamed for lack of protection for 8-year-old stabbed by mother.
DHS said they want the boys to be placed in to fosters homes immediately.
A pretrial hearing is set for Jan. 24.Greene is being held without bond.
Follow the story from the start:
- Detroit mother charged with murder in death of 8-year-old.
- Records show trouble at home of slain Detroit girl.
- Documents explain why slain girl was still with mother.
- Court will decide what happens to Greene's other children.

Here is a figure I whipped up to help explain how the offset between the center-of-pressure and the center of the disc causes it to turn while in flight. I hope it makes sense.
Moderators: Timko, Fritz, Solty, Booter, Blake_T, Frank Delicious
George wrote:Your figure is excellent, thanks for posting that!
George wrote:I would add to your explanation that the weight of the disc affects the disc flight in (at least) two different ways. One is the moment of inertia (which you explain)—a lighter disc of the same shape will have a smaller moment of inertia, and, if the angular velocity is the same, will have a smaller angular momentum and therefore be subject to greater precession.
George wrote:The second manner in which the weight enters is in the angle of attack. If two discs, identical except for mass, are thrown level with the same speed and the same angular velocity, the lift on the two discs will be the same, but the force of gravity will be smaller on the lighter disc. The net upward force will therefore be greater on the lighter disc, and it will rise faster. A level disc that is rising has a negative angle of attack. (I'm considering angle of attack to be slightly different from nose angle in that angle of attack is with respect to the air whereas nose angle is with respect to the horizontal ground.) Because of its faster rise, the angle of attack of the lighter disc will be more negative (than that of the heavier disc), causing the center of pressure to move farther behind the center of the disc, and thereby creating a greater torque and more precession. When a level disc is falling, the reverse is true: the center of pressure moves forward. In airfoils, I believe this effect is largely characterized by the pitching moment coefficient, which also changes with angle of attack, but I could be wrong.
George wrote:Jonny Potts (who founded Discwing) measured the pitching moment of a disc (I don't think it was a golf disc) in a wind tunnel and measured the change of pitching moment with angle of attack and described it in this paper:
George wrote:Although the initial turn and the final fade are generally thought of solely in terms of speed by disc golfers, I think the changing angle of attack (negative in the first part of the flight, and positive in the final part) plays a major role in causing the typical S-curve flight. Of course since lift increases with increasing speed, the angle of attack and the speed are closely related.
George wrote:Disclaimer: I am not an aerodynamicist but I am a physicist (and a mediocre rec masters disc golfer).
sleepy wrote:I sleepy, do hereby commit to use the Comet as my main midrange disc for a period of no less than one (1) year; commencing 11/24/09 and ending (if I so choose) on 11/24/10.

The R-C Morning Report for July 24
July 24, 2014
Johnson Lane is closed at Clapham until 11 a.m. today. If you've got to get to the highway there are lots of ways around. I don't know for sure, but I bet this has something to do with the flooding on Sunday.
The Elks Summerfest Carnival continues today at 5 p.m. in Lampe Park. They'll start up 5 p.m. Friday and then 11 a.m. Saturday.
A question about the Ruhenstroth manhunt on Tuesday prompted me to check on James Virgil McDowell, who was the subject of a search in Genoa on June 25. All I can say is that he is in close custody at Northern Nevada Correctional Center. I've sent a note to see if we can learn how and when he was captured.
We apparently survived the red flag warning without any additional fires. The only report on the Sierra Front Interagency Dispatch was an illegal burn near Derby Dam by a homeless person that was extinguished.
There shouldn't be any pesky red flag warnings today, just blue skies and warm temperatures. Expect the high to get up to 88 today with a light breeze in the afternoon.

MARC Laird wants to cap a memorable week by helping Southend United triumph at Accrington Stanley tomorrow.
The Blues midfielder became a father for the first time just a few days ago when his partner gave birth to a baby boy named Harrison.
And Laird wants to celebrate his arrival by helping Paul Sturrock's side secure a fourth successive win.
"I can't put in to words how becoming a father feels," said the Scotsman.
"My partner has been brilliant and I haven't had too many sleepless night just yet so I've been able to prepare for the game in the right way and it would be great to get another win to make it a perfect week."
Laird looks set to go straight back in to the starting line up at the Crown Ground having been cup tied for Tuesday night's Johnstone's Paint Trophy clash at Leyton Orient.
Mickey Spillane is also available again after missing out against the O's.
But Laird expects them to find things tough against Accrington side fighting against relegation.
"It will be another tough test for us and we know we will need to work hard if we are to come out on top," said the 27-year-old.
"The lads all did that superbly against Orient in the week to get a great result and we will need to do the same this weekend.
"Promotion remains our number one aim as well so we need to make sure we pick up more points because we're only three behind third placed Cheltenham now and we also have a game in hand on them."
Saturday's game will see Blues begin life without Michael Timlin who broke his leg against Orient on Tuesday night, while two members of Southend's regular back four are doubts for the game.
Boss Paul Sturrock was not keen to reveal the identity of the players but Luke Prosser and Anthony Straker have both been placed on standby should the players fail to recover.
Blues will also definitely be missing top goalscorer Gavin Tomlin who Sturrock has confirmed will now be missing for a good few weeks with the thigh strain he suffered in training.

"Man of Steel" — the new reboot of the Superman franchise — is about 80 percent successful. Directed by Zack Snyder and written by David S. Goyer from a story he created with filmmaker Christopher Nolan — the men behind the commercially and artistically successful "Dark Knight" trilogy — the film makes the superhero from outer space more human than ever.
Until it succumbs to the destructive excesses that every summer blockbuster inevitably seems to end with, "Man of Steel" is quite intriguing. The film shades the timeworn character, who was created 75 years ago, making him seem more like a man out of time and place. It also puts him in a more complicated environment than a simple comic-book universe.
There are many delights in the picture, both visually and in design and color. The bright suit is gone, replaced with a muted darker outfit that reflects a more nuanced hero. Clark Kent/Superman is played with the right combination of gloominess and panache by British actor Henry Cavill. Gone, too, is a clueless, giddy Lois Lane, replaced by a smart, steady modern women (Amy Adams, with the right tone). Russell Crowe brings back his "Gladiator" form to play Jor-El, the Man of Steel's father, and Michael Shannon, a terrific actor, throws himself (literally) into the role of Superman's formidable opponent General Zod.
You may find yourself zipping through some of the massive fight scenes toward the end, which tend to get blurred anyway. But up until then, Snyder has delivered a memorable film and gives promise to future stories in the franchise.

Not everybody is ready to give the boot to MDP.
With the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Microbiological Data Program recommended for elimination by both the Obama Administration and the Senate Appropriations Committee, a dozen lawmakers in Michigan's House have sponsored a resolution urging Congress and the President to continue funding the controversial program for fiscal year 2013.
That probably won't happen, but you have to admire the fact that Michigan's lawmakers are paying attention.
Michigan House Resolution 265, pending before the Michigan House Agriculture Committee, noted that Michigan is one of eleven states that participate in the testing program.
"MDP tests have triggered 19 produce recalls in the past two years. A loss of funding could impact the timeliness of response to foodborne illness outbreaks," the resolution states.
Rep. Phil Potvin, R-Cadillac, is the chief sponsor of the resolution.
The program, which began in 2001, collects information on the prevalence of harmful bacteria in fresh produce. Data is collected from more than 600 food distribution sites in the United States and checked for the presence of salmonella, pathogenic E. coli and listeria.
In 2011, approximately 17,000 samples were collected from cantaloupe, cilantro, hot peppers, lettuce, spinach, sprouts, and tomatoes, according to the resolution sponsored by Potvin.
The resolution said that the MDP annual budget of $5 million allows the USDA laboratories, including a laboratory in Michigan, to maintain experienced staff, keep current with changing technologies and increase the number of samples tested each year.
Calling MDP an "early warning system," the resolution said that with it the USDA and Michigan are able to promote a safer food supply.
Industry critics say MDP has problems that warrant its elimination.
Kathy Means, vice president of government relations and public affairs for Newark, Del.-based Produce Marketing Association, said the program duplicates work the industry and the FDA already are engaged in. She also said the MDP testing isn't timely enough to be an effective recall mechanism in the event a pathogens are found on produce.
"If (testing) is going to continue to be used as a regulatory tool, then it needs to be done at FDA," said Robert Guenther, senior vice president of public policy for the Washington, D.C.-based United Fresh Produce Association.
MDP isn't gone yet, but Michigan's support for the program isn't likely to tip the scales in its favor.

Iteration: Going through something by repeating a procedure over and over and over...
LISP: List - Processing
Array: A set of related data stored contiguously in memory
List: A set of memory that's linked together in memory via pointers, but is not necessarily contiguous
Stack: A type of list that follows the LIFO principle
Queue: A type of list that follows the FIFO principle
LIFO: last in-first out
FIFO: first in-first out
Pointer: a piece of data that represents the address of another memory location where memory is stored rather than actual memory. Also known as indirect addressing.
Currying: a method whereby one is able to turn a function of several variables into a composed function of functions of single variables
Self-referential: this definition is self-referential
Procedure/Subroutine/Function/Method: These are all basically used to refer to the idea of branching off and completing a separate segment of code by pushing the instruction counter address onto the stack before branching, then popping it back off and returning flow control to the previous location in memory once the operation is performed. This may or may not carry a returned value with it. These each have a subtle shade of meaning associated with them. For example, a method is usually used to refer to a behavior associated with an object in OOP.
OOP: Object-Oriented Programming: The idea that everything around can be modeled into an object with certain attributes and behaviors that can interact with other objects around it in a variety of ways via its behaviors.
Functional Programming: The idea that programs should consist of a series of functions in which there are no side effects. This is somewhat in contrast to OOP as it usually carries a list of data values to represent the attributes of an object which cause side effects.

Perception. You think he's telling you that you're wrong, when in reality, he's telling you that you will be right in the future. Imagine if you said that on a job interview and your interviewer knew what is what. How would you look if you presented yourself like that? You say potato, but the answer is jicama, and you tell your potential employer that he's making you look bad. What he's going to tell you is that you're making yourself look bad, and by becoming defensive, you just lost your chance at a job.

Archie Sees What Happens 'After The Credits' In 'Sonic' And 'Mega Man' This May [Preview]
As a kid I can only remember a single time anything ever happened after the credits of a movie. It was after napping through the second half of Beethoven (or maybe Beethoven 2?) on VHS, and all that happened was a silhouette of a St. Bernard climbed a hill and barked in the sunset. But then Iron Man came along in 2008 and shook Hollywood to the core with Samuel L. Jackson's now classic "Avengers Initiative" recruitment scene. Surprisingly, no one in the comic book industry proper had quite capitalized on the storytelling device... until now. This May, Archie Comics is kicking off its own "After the Credits" initiative in its Sonic The Hedgehog and Mega Man titles.

UK Court Says Software Company Can Be Liable For Buggy Software
from the opening-the-floodgates? dept
That said, software liability has been a hot topic in Europe lately, and now Slashdot points us to the news that the UK High Court has ruled that a software company can be liable for buggy software. More specifically, the court found that a clause in the license agreement, which said it would not be liable for defects was found to be an unfair contract term.
Of course, it also sounds like there were some special conditions here:
The judge said that the exclusion of liability was unfounded because of the particular way in which the software sale had been conducted. The fact that a full set of operating documents for the software had not been provided and the fact that Kingsway made its purchasing decisions largely based on Red Sky's claims for the software eroded Red Sky's ability to limit its liability, the Court said.So, as the article notes, the issue here may be more about liability arising from the sales process, rather than just general liability, so it hopefully won't have the same sorts of chilling effects that general liability for bugs might have.
"Red Sky's' standard terms were predicated on the fact that a prospective customer would investigate Entirety [the software] and make up its own mind whether or not to purchase based on demonstrations and the Operating Documents which Red Sky had previously supplied," said the ruling. "It did not apply to circumstances in which the customer relied on Red Sky's' advice in deciding to purchase Entirety."
"The exclusions in clause 10.2 [of the terms and conditions] only applied where the Operating Documents as defined in Clause 1.1.6 were supplied to the customer before the contract was signed," it said. "In this case such documents were not supplied by Red Sky to Kingsway. Therefore, Clause 10.2 and the exclusions derived there from did not apply."

A form of CBT delivered over the telephone by a trained, licensed, master's or doctoral level clinician. The intervention consists of approximately 10 sessions conducted over approximately 14 weeks. Each session is approximately 30 to 50 minutes.
Behavioral: Telephone-based CBT
A form of CBT delivered over the telephone by a trained, licensed, master's or doctoral level clinician. The intervention consists of approximately 10 sessions conducted over approximately 14 weeks. Each session is approximately 30 to 50 minutes. All sessions begin with a depression rating and agenda setting and end with task assignments and summaries.
Other Name: CONNECT
Active Comparator: Control
Enhanced Usual Care
Behavioral: Enhanced Usual Care
Participants randomized to this condition will be referred to receive in-person psychotherapy. Research study staff will help participants to set up their first appointment with a psychotherapist.
Detailed Description:
Up to 40% of individuals receiving medical care for HIV meet DSM-IV criteria for co-occurring depressive disorder. Individuals with HIV and depressive disorders, compared to those with HIV alone, have been shown to have worse adherence to taking antiretroviral medication, increased HIV related morbidity and among women a higher mortality. Previous research suggests that mental health interventions may lead to improved depressive and HIV related outcomes. However because many HIV infected depressed individuals may have trouble accessing mental health services, there is an urgent need for treatment trials to assess whether treatment of depression targeting patients in urban HIV care settings will result in both improved depressive and HIV related outcomes. The goal of this project is to test the preliminary effectiveness of an adapted telephone-based, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) intervention targeting HIV infected depressed individuals receiving care in adult outpatient HIV clinics. A total of 60 HIV infected, depressed individuals receiving care at an urban, outpatient HIV clinic will be randomly assigned to receive either the telephone psychotherapy intervention or enhanced usual care with non-specific telephone contact. The results will provide preliminary data on whether the telephone psychotherapy intervention for HIV infected depressed individuals is effective in reducing depression. The results will also be used to determine feasibility, accessibility, and whether the intervention leads to improved retention and better satisfaction.
|Ages Eligible for Study:
|18 Years and older (Adult, Senior)
|Sexes Eligible for Study:

- Is at least 18 years old
- Has access to a telephone
Exclusion Criteria:
- Meets criteria for dementia by scoring below 10 on the Hopkins HIV Dementia Scale
- Shows signs of serious psychiatric pathology that might either be due to an organic etiology other than HIV, or would generally not be considered treatable solely with psychotherapy, or for whom participation in this protocol might be considered dangerous or unethical

The Red Chord Interview by bunniegraves, A_C, & the 2006 Ozzfest board members
October 29, 2010, 12:14:47 am »
1. So, tell us a little about your experience on this year's Ozzfest tour?
A: It was the most fun we've ever had on tour.
2. I read you guys are writing material for a new album, can you give us any idea what to expect?
A: Well, we only have a song and a half so far, so it's hard to say. I suppose you can expect it to be more aggressive and unrelenting.
3. What are your favorite songs to play live?
A: My favorite song to play live is probably either Black Santa or Fixation On Plastics.
4. How do you prepare for a show?
A: I'll usually stretch and warm up by playing through some of the harder parts of the set. Sometimes I'll listen to music that gets me psyched up like Enslaved or some other Viking metal.
5. Name the most bizarre things you have ever eaten.
A: Maybe crayons during my week of endurance.
6. Who would you credit as your main inspiration/s for your musical style?
A: Probably Suffocation, Death, Immolation and Cynic.
7. If you could tour with any band of your choice who would it be? Why?
A: If you mean any band that we haven't toured with, then my pick is either Cibo Matto (if they got back together) or The Cardigans. I want to tour with these bands because they are both incredible, but it would never work because our styles are too different.
8. How much interaction would you say you have with your fans during a show?
A: Quite a bit. We'll talk to people in the middle of our set sometimes about absurd things.
9. Any plans to return for next years Ozzfest?
A: We'd love to, but you can't play Ozzfest two years in a row(with exceptions of course).
10.How much liquor would it take to get you guys to have your tits painted at the Titty Painting booth? Ha! (assuming they have a booth next year)
A: We were actually going to get painted for a set one day, but it didn't end up happening. We're really obnoxious, it doesn't take any liquor for us to act like assholes!
Board member Q's
11. AsceticGhostPriest writes:
When I saw The Red Chord on tour w/Throwdown, A Dozen Furies, and Still Remains they made some nasty comments about Still Remains by calling them "Still Complains"....I guess I would ask if there was any bad blood between the bands or if they were just playing to their fans?
A: There is definitely NO bad blood. We love those guys!! Check out a video of Greg rapping with the Still Remains guys on the re-release of our record, Clients.
12. JuuKun writes:
Who was your favorite band on this year's Ozzfest?
A: My personal favorite was probably Strapping Young Lad because they are so devastating. But there were so many crushing bands this year.
13. FirstOzzyFan writes:
would they allow full access for the Ozzboard photographer to get behind the scenes Pix? The ideal location would be somewhere on the east coast, greater NYC area. (or Philly)
A: I love double tart. Maybe, that's a question more suited for an Ozzfest organizer.
14. It Died Yesterday writes:
when are they coming to Syracuse again?
A: We don't know what the final dates on the Gwar tour are yet, but there may be a Syracuse show. Otherwise, we'll most likely be back early next year.
15. AphroditesChild writes: Having lived in Boston myself many long years ago I'd have to ask, what part of Beantown do you come from?
A: With all the lineup changes we've had, we're actually pretty scattered at this point. Guy and I are from the north shore, Greg's from the south shore, Jon's from New Hampshire and Brad is living in central MA.
16. AphroditesChild writes: What older bands did you listen to while growing up?
A: The first metal bands I got into when I was young were Metallica, Testament, Slayer, Kreator, and a lot of other thrash bands. However, my first record ever was Skid Row.
Thanks so much for the interview, gentlemen. Keep up the good work

How many of you have got bad teeth? (Broken, or have fillings, root canal treatments, etc)
Let's discuss the bad teeth and the self esteem or the self image..
If you have bad teeth, will you be sad? Why? Why not?
I have irregular teethSo I dare not laughIt makes me so sad
Teeth matters in looks, especially for models and entertainers. But I'm more concerned in the way you eat with less teeth on your mouth. I don't think you need to be obsessed over lost teeth.
I have lost some teeth. If I have money, I'll get porcelain teeth to fill in the "gaps".
My irregular arrangement of teeth , I have also sad, but there is no way .
Teeth should be healthy. It is not the end of the world if you have few cavities, but things can get way worse that just having ugly teeth. I have been through many dental procedures I probably have something to fixed at this very moment.
Self-esteem... I am a smoker so every now and then I go through teeth whitening procedures to have them looking good.
Healthy teeth well, my teeth less healthy , premature shedding, I have therefore inlaid the dentures.
My teeth are ok but I want to make them more brighter...
yeah i am having also bad teeth but not like that very bad teeth.I am not like to share my teeth picture.Some of the teeth is broken.But now i follow some dental procedures and also using herbal product tooth paste.
Hello Ananthapriya,Its very better that you are using Herbal tooth paste atleast It has no side effects. You can also try one thing rub salt and baking soda on your teeth with soft fingers for 1 minute and then wash it off and then brush your teeth normally this tip is for brighter teeth...
Nothing like healthy teeth,.. it definitely is a must. It is not necessary to have beautiful and perfect set of teeth but clean and healthy teeth very much has an impact on one's image..
yeah to some extend... teeth can play a important role in impressive personality.
I have bad and broken teeth. I feel Very sad because I cant open my mouth and laugh
My wisdom tooth makes me feel anxious to talk to people when it starts to swell because it causes bad breath and toothache.
oh dear.You know teeth is very important for our face look.A bad teeth will create a bad look .so teeth is very important for a good looking face.
Broken teeth can mark a good impression if you're a good hockey player or Mafia. We know how important shiny shiny teeth are it will make little sense reiterating the fact and its reasons.
I had a great smile that everybody says, But now i am uncomfortable to smile due to one incident happened for me. 2 years before i met accident in route bus by travelling. My front teeth has been broken and done a root canal treatment. Now that teeth became discolor (Pale yellow with mixed grey). Which is mismatch to next teeth. Doc told to wear a cap to that teeth to hide a discolor so that you have teeth like before. Now i am feeling comfortable. Feeling free to smile.:-)Actually, Having bad teeth is not a problem to other. It is just like what we think.
Bad teeth never makes you laugh.
healthy and well teeth are require for good personality because of if we have bed and ugly teeth and pass a smile in public place that its hell imbressing moment so try to clean your teeth always
This thread seems to have run its course.
