► Back to the Vanderbilt Gameday preview
A .500 record would be cause for celebration for baseball's Pittsburgh Pirates, who have endured a major league-record 17 losing seasons in a row.
Oregon State would have taken it in a heartbeat when it suffered through an NCAA record 28 consecutive losing football seasons from 1971-1998.
Of the 120 Bowl Subdivision teams, 56 this week don't have a winning record.
It certainly is not sitting well in Athens, where 3-3 Georgia is off to its worst start since 1996.
Championship hopes - even hopes of topping the SEC East - have dimmed.
"That is not in our control anymore, so we are not really focusing on that right now," coach Mark Richt said. "No one is happy. No one is excited about what happened by any means, but these guys are resilient."
Georgia can try to put the 45-19 nightmare loss to Tennessee last week behind it when it plays Vanderbilt today in Nashville.
The game marks the second half of the Bulldogs' season.
Georgia fans might think good riddance, but say this about the first half of the season, it certainly did not lack surprising twists and turns.
From an under-the-weather Joe Cox flying to Oklahoma separately from the rest of his team, to the miserable rainy weather at the start of the Arizona State game. From 93 combined points scored in a win at Arkansas to no touchdowns scored by either team before the fourth quarter in a home loss to LSU.
We take the temperature of the Bulldogs at the midway point:
Where have you gone Knowshon?
When you lose two of the top 12 picks in the NFL Draft, a drop in production at those positions has to be expected.
One question for Georgia heading into the season was who would the Bulldogs miss more? Quarterback Matthew Stafford, the No. 1 overall pick, or running back Knowshon Moreno, who went No. 12.
So far Moreno is the answer.
The Bulldogs are last in the Southeastern Conference in rushing and 104th in the nation, mustering only 97.2 yards per game. The Bulldogs haven't finished with an average less than 100 yards a game since 1963.
Georgia has turned to Richard Samuel, Caleb King, Carlton Thomas and Washaun Ealey and even receivers Branden Smith and Rantavious Wooten to carry the ball, but the Bulldogs are averaging 3.4 yards per carry.
"I think Richard has got to help us," offensive coordinator Mike Bobo said. "I think Richard's deal is confidence. Coming into this year, having a lot of expectations on him. He kind of takes everything to heart when he doesn't have success. We think he's a talented back. We think he has to help us in the run game for us to be successful, and we're really trying to get him going this week."
Cox experiences it all
Joe Cox received national weekly accolades after he tied a Georgia single-game record with five touchdown passes in a 52-41 shootout win at Arkansas on Sept. 26.
Who would have figured that the Bulldogs would enter the Vanderbilt game having scored touchdowns in only one of the 11 last quarters?
"I didn't expect it," Cox said. "It's tough, and it definitely tests you, and it tests the guys on your team, their mentality and their attitude. We know right now that we have players that can make plays. We know right now we can put points on the board. We know we can move the ball."
Cox is fourth in the SEC with 11 touchdown passes, but also has eight interceptions. That trails nine from Jonathan Crompton and Jevan Snead.
Biggest disappointment
Richt said prior to this season that the offensive line had the potential to be the best the Bulldogs have had since the 2002 SEC championship team. Fullback Fred Munzenmaier viewed the Georgia offensive line after spring practice like many outside observers.
"I kind of think about all of the guys that are coming back, and I just have this image of a brick wall in my mind," Munzenmaier said. "So many young guys started last year and so many older guys are coming back. I feel personally like there's just going to be a big pool of experienced guys."
That pool became shallower when left tackle Trinton Sturdivant was lost for the season with a torn ACL and backup guard Tanner Strickland was lost in the summer with a shoulder injury.
That still left Clint Boling, Cordy Glenn, Ben Jones, Vince Vance, Justin Anderson and Chris Davis, players with starting experience who were expected to create running room for young backs. It hasn't happened.
"You've got to take pride in it, and you've got to play hard and physical," Bobo said.
Three other areas that need to be fixed
1. Defensive woes continue: After allowing 38 or more points in four of the last five games in 2008, the heat was on defensive coordinator Willie Martinez from fans.
It hasn't let up now that Georgia is 100th in the nation in scoring defense, allowing 30.7 points per game - that's on pace to be the most points scored against Georgia in program history.
Tennessee's Jonathan Crompton joined Arkansas' Ryan Mallett and South Carolina's Stephen Garcia in putting up career passing bests against the Bulldogs this season. The Bulldogs have given up an SEC-high 14 touchdown passes.
2. Turnover troubles: The Bulldogs have been consistently giving the ball away to their opponents. In five of six games, Georgia has had three turnovers. Opponents have scored 71 points off 16 Bulldogs turnovers this season.
Meanwhile, Georgia has forced just five turnovers and turned them into 13 points. Georgia is 118th in turnover margin, ahead of only Nevada and Miami (Ohio).
3. Penalties persist: Georgia talked about cutting down on penalties this year. Guess what? The Bulldogs are right where they were a year ago. The Bulldogs finished last season ranked 116th in the nation in penalties with 8.6 per game for 72.15 yards. They are ranked 116th this week with 9.5 per game for 75.33 yards.
Pleasant Surprises
1. Drew Butler: Believe it or not, uncertainty at punter was one of the biggest question marks in the preseason, but the redshirt sophomore has done what nobody could have expected. Butler leads the nation with a 49.8-yard punting average. The school record is 45.4 by Chip Alexander in 1984.
2. Brandon Boykin: Boykin made noise in the spring when teammates raved about his leaping ability and spoke with his confidence about what he could bring as a cornerback. He has dazzled with his big plays on kickoff returns. The sophomore has a pair of 100-yard touchdown returns, becoming the first player in SEC history to have two 100-yard returns in a season.
3. Blair Walsh: The kicker was highly touted coming out of high school in Florida, but had a difficult second half last season and finished 15 of 23 on field goals. This year he is 9 of 10 including 3 of 3 from 50 yards or more. He booted a career-long 53 yarder against Oklahoma State and the game-winning 37-yarder against Arizona State.
Best of A.J.
Sophomore receiver A.J. Green has continued to thrive, even with loss of Moreno and receiver Mohamed Massaqoui on the Bulldogs' offense.
He leads the SEC with 97.8 receiving yards and 6.3 catches per game.
Here are three memorable Green moments from this season.
1. A.J. the special team standout: Green leaped and made a game-saving field-goal block with 4:31 remaining when Arizona State had a chance to go-ahead.
2. The celebration: If it wasn't for an excessive-celebration penalty that the SEC admitted it got wrong, Green's 16-yard touchdown catch over Chris Hawkins with 1:09 left just might have been the difference between a win and a loss. It gave Georgia a one-point lead, but LSU had a big return and a 33-yard touchdown run to take a 20-13 win.
3. Green's 36-yard third down catch while falling backwards against Arizona State: It set up Georgia's game-winning 37-yard field goal.
See you in December (or January?)
Here are three bowl projections for the Bulldogs this week
1. Liberty Bowl vs. Houston (CBS Sportsline): Playing in a January bowl doesn't have the same ring to it when it's on Jan. 2 in Memphis.
2. Independence Bowl vs. Texas Tech (ESPN.com's Mark Schlabach) or vs. Texas A&M (College Footbal News): The SEC is cutting ties with the Shreveport, La., bowl after this season. The game is on Dec. 28.
3. Chick-fil-A Bowl vs. Boston College (ESPN.com's Bruce Feldman): New Year's Eve in Atlanta? Georgia hasn't played in the Georgia Dome since the 2006 Chick-fil-A Bowl against Virginia Tech.

However, when I plug into a switch I receive only around 1.5mbps. I have tried 5 other cables directly into the Fiber and receive 9.8 each time I have tried the same cables in the switch, (Including disconnecting all other ports in the switch) and I still receive only 1.5. I have tried 2 other switches as well as a brand new switch taken out of the box and receive the same result. Any ideas?

A MAN seriously injured in the Clutha helicopter crash has become the last survivor of the accident to leave hospital.
Norman Maciver, 45, has been discharged from the Glasgow Royal Infirmary and is now recovering at his home in Maryhill following treatment to his injuries, including two broken legs.
He was inside the pub in the centre of Glasgow when a police helicopter crashed through the roof on November 29, claiming 10 lives. Mr Maciver, a university lecturer, spent a week in intensive care after the incident.

In a message on a social networking site, he joked: "No super powers but pinned and screwed back together."
He was treated in hospital alongside Joe Cusker, 59, who died in the Glasgow Royal Infirmary two weeks after the helicopter accident.
Mr Maciver, who was watching a friend perform with the ska group Esperanza when the helicopter crashed into the roof of the pub, said: "It was just such a shock when Joe died. All the families would comfort each other, I think, because they were all going through the same thing."
His mother Flora, 70, said: "We're delighted he's home. He still has the big stookie on his foot and can't care much for himself. But we were very pleased with the Royal Infirmary. You wouldn't get better treatment anywhere."

The Cleaning Bell Rings
The 2012 ISSA/INTERCLEAN North America trade show draws a crowd from around the world.
First, let me give my compliments to ISSA, its management staff, show exhibitors and conference attendees on a job well-done.
Everyone I talked to at the recent ISSA/INTERCLEAN North America trade show was pleased with the turnout, the events and the quality of visitors to their booths.
Okay — that's what we say and hear every year.
Show management tells us the crowds and show floor were larger than last year, but each year it looks smaller and it seems like there are fewer people there.
Don't get me wrong: I love the annual ISSA/INTERCLEAN trade show and think everyone should attend.
In fact, I don't understand why there aren't 50,000 or more people at the show.
It's the best thing anybody in the cleaning industry can do each year to educate themselves and make contacts with industry movers and shakers.
At the same time, I've come to the conclusion that trade shows and conventions are headed the way of magazines, newspapers and saddle makers.
Nobody wants to admit it, but the world is changing faster than we realize — right under our feet and before our very eyes.
The reality is that there will be winners and there will be losers.
History tells us that tomorrow's winners must be willing to let go of the comfort of the past in order to take advantage of the opportunities that come with the future.
We May Have It Wrong
Instead of trying to get more people to come the ISSA/INTERCLEAN trade show and fudging the numbers when they don't show up, we should take the show to the masses via live streaming video on the Internet.
What would happen if we had 50,000 or 100,000 people around the world watching live in their homes and offices as events unfold at the show?
To me, that is an interesting thought proposition, and it's in tune with future trends, sustainability and what's actually happening around the world in other industries.
Here's my big idea: Let's have an International Cleaning Day during the ISSA/INTERCLEAN trade show and stream it live around the world.
I think that, if people could see and participate online, it would actually encourage more people to attend the show in person.
The greatest challenge will be figuring out how to make a streamed event more profitable than a live event.
It's important to mention that portions of this year's show were streamed live to monitors on the show floor and to the ISSA website.
Here's a link if you're curious: www.LiveStream.com/ISSAshow.
The Keynote
Tom Brokaw was little dull, but I liked him anyways, being we are both from South Dakota.
Here are some tidbits from his presentation:
- There is nothing quite like the American Dream; there is no French or Russian Dream
- The U.S. is a special and unique place in the world where anything has always been possible, a place where people from anywhere in the world can live free and achieve their dreams
- Running for President is the toughest job in the world; it's like going to the public square of your local town and taking a bath stark naked each day at noon
- Two wars have been fought by less than 1 percent of population — all of whom are volunteers — while the other 99 percent have not been asked to give anything
- This campaign has been focused on small ideas that divide us rather than large ideas that would unite us
- There is a great divide in the political arena today, but the government should represent the interests of all the people because we are all in this together
- You can't be prepared for something you haven't seen and can't imagine
- Small business is getting a lot of attention but not much help
- There are no bad or inappropriate questions, and someone needs to challenge the status quo.
If you like to travel, there are international shows during 2013 in Poland, Mexico City, Italy and India. I'll see you there.
From The Show Floor
I found great booths and activities everywhere I went.
Don Aslett's Museum Of Clean was great and gives you an idea just how far we have come.
The Intellibot Robotics booth with its robotic autoscrubbers and vacuums provides a peek at where we are going.
The Barangle booth with its shoe-mounted and dustmop-mounted inspection lights let us see what we have missed.
Other notables include:
- The OmniFlex from Kaivac, called "the poor man's autoscrubber" by many
- Compostable trash bags from Natur-Bag
- Super abrasive floor polishing pads from Lavina
- Coverings for doorknobs and faucet handles from SafeHandles
- Proactive floor safety signs, banners, blockades and fans from Hurricone.
There was a lot more, but with limited time and space, that's all I can cover here.
For information on the ISSA's Innovation Awards winners, visit: www.ISSA.com/Vote.
The Cleaning Industry Management Standard (CIMS) continues to grow and get a foothold in various segments of the industry.
I actually talked to one contactor who didn't like CIMS, and when I asked why, she made a face and said that they can't compete against it and now they are going to have to do all of this extra work to improve how they do business.
Go figure.
CIMS has had quite an impact on our industry; there are around 160 companies and organization now certified, 12 assessors and over 1,000 industry consultants trained to assist organizations in meeting the CIMS requirements.

Tonight we take on Reading at the Madejski Stadium in a game that was rumoured to be the return of Jack Wilshere. We were all grateful for his early return against QPR at the weekend. After the game the manager confirmed he would be resting Jack in the week, to see how he responds after a long absence, and to (we hope) allow him to recover in time for the game at Old Trafford on Saturday.
It had been a difficult week with defeats against Norwich and Schalke in quick succession. So much so that I was really looking forward to the League Cup match. A game which will feature some fringe and reserve players, and a game in which you expect the commitment and urgency to be miles better than what we saw in those two defeats just mentioned. The QPR victory was, of course, welcomed with open arms, and the hope is that it represents the end of a two-game blip, and the beginning of an unbeaten run in what is looking like a very, very testing November. And November always seems to be a troublesome period for The Arsenal.
The performance against QPR was nowhere near what we were producing before the international break, but it was noticeably better than the utter rubbish we saw last week. When you're down, the only way is up. Looking ahead to the game tonight, you would expect to see a completely different first XI to the game at the weekend. Here is my guess on what the lineup will be:
Jenkinson Koscielny Djourou Miquel
Walcott Gnabry Frimpong Coquelin Arshavin
On the official website, Szczesny is seen training with the squad for this game and I wouldn't be surprised to see him start ahead of Martinez, to get him back in the swing of things as quickly as possible. Walcott played only 10 minutes on Saturday and with The Ox seemingly still injured I reckon Theo will start this one. A team along those lines would certainly cause problems, but our defence is by no means watertight at the moment so it could be a close one.
In the past we have seen some fantastic performances from our League Cup teams and I expect this to be an entertaining game with a few goals. Reading scored, but also shipped, three goals at the weekend and with our pacy youngsters I'm predicting more of the same. The game is the featured match on Sky Sports so it will be available to watch live to viewers in the UK. No need to find a dodgy stream for this one thankfully.
Reading will field their strongest team, but we are more than capable of overcoming them. Last week at the AGM Arsene quite rightly labelled this competition as our lowest priority. Realistically speaking, however, this and the FA Cup appear yet again to be our most likely chances of silverware, so here's hoping we can progress to the Quarter Finals.
I will be at the game tonight and will be tweeting live from the match with photos and comments. I hope to provide a positive review tomorrow! Until then.

A gory Halloween display at a home across from a Menifee elementary school has upset some parents, who decried a trend toward increasingly gruesome décor and costumes.
In a yard across the street from Quail Valley Elementary School in Menifee, a life-sized, pale-skinned dummy with a bloody neck hangs from a pole.
"It's a dead guy hanging from a noose in front of an elementary school," said Jennifer Pino, a 38-year-old mother of two. "It's too graphic for the elementary school level."
The school received one complaint about the dummy, clerk Letisia Romero said. No one has complained to the district.
Anthony Adcock, the owner of the Canyon Heights Drive home, defended his display.
"It's Halloween. If you drive around my neighborhood, you'll find multiple skeletons, multiple things like this," he said.
Adcock has three children, including one who goes to Quail Valley Elementary. He said he understands the parents' concerns but disagrees.
His children helped him decorate their home with bats, ghouls, spiders, pumpkins and webs about two weeks ago. One of his children helped him make the dummy.
About a dozen of his neighbors have told him in the last week that they like his decorations, Adcock said.
"I have parents who pull up at night" to see the display, he said.
Adcock has no plans to take the dummy down to appease the offended parents.
"I was thinking of putting a sign on him saying, 'I'll be hanging around all October,'" he said.
While grinning Jack-o-lanterns and ghosts made out of sheets still make appearances this time of year, they increasingly compete with gruesome props such as blood-splattered chainsaws and life-size characters from horror films.
Adult-themed Halloween costumes of Freddie Krueger, killer clowns and other nightmare-inspiring boogeymen are now available for children as young as 5.
The shift toward more grisly Halloween themes has intensified over the last decade or so, said Laura Kamptner, a Cal State San Bernardino psychology and child development professor.
"It's not much of a children's holiday anymore," she said. "It is very much an adult celebration."
That was clear recently at the Spirit Halloween store in Riverside, which featured displays of severed limbs, twisted entrails and rubber heads wrapped in barbed wire. Nearby were zombie babies with white, vacant eyes and blood dripping from their mouths.
The sight was enough to make 2-year-old John Velazquez cry in fear.
"Scary mooooovie, scary mooooovie," he choked out between sobs.
At Alin Party Supply in Riverside, zombie paraphernalia and spiders are hot sellers, along with wall-sized pictures of dripping blood. Severed hands and feet are as popular as ever, manager Sherry Baur said.
Baur, who has worked at the store for 33 years, said she has noticed more adults shopping for Halloween, a trend she thinks is fueled by the AMC series "The Walking Dead," about a group of people who survive a zombie apocalypse.
"Personally, I don't care for the gore. I like the fun part of Halloween. You're trying to get kids to come up to your house to trick or treat and they're not going to come up," she said.
This year, Alin Party has done away with life-sized, animated figures at the entrance to the store, in part because they were scaring kids. The talking Frankenstein, mad scientist and spooky butler have been replaced by trees hung with skeletons, witches and goblins.
"The kids would cry, scream and refuse to come in the front door," Baur said.
Kamptner, the psychology professor who co-directs Cal State's CUIDAR parenting project, warned that ghastly, violent scenes and costumes are not appropriate for young children. Exposure to horror can cause them to have nightmares or become stressed.
Children under 7 aren't able to understand depictions of horror because cognitively they are learning to sort out what is real and what is fantasy, she said. And preschoolers, who have a less logical and realistic view of the world, can be especially frightened when adults they know and trust dress up in makeup or a mask because they believe that adult has become a different person.
As children age, a move toward scarier costumes is normal, she said.
"The key is to let them choose the costumes, let them choose what they want to be exposed to. Don't force it on them," Kamptner said. "My feeling is, if adults want to celebrate, great, go do it. But don't expose children to it."
Characters we now see as relatively harmless like Frankenstein's monster or Count Dracula were unsettling moviegoers just like Chucky or Michael Myers when they were introduced in the 1930s, said Chris Alexander, editor-in-chief of the long-running horror magazine Fangoria.
Those characters were effectively defanged through decades of adaptation before they became dress-up fodder for preschoolers. Frankenstein's monster morphed into bumbling Herman Munster and Dracula eventually translated into Count von Count on "Sesame Street."
David J. Skal, who has chronicled America's fascination with horror since the 1990s in numerous books, including "The Monster Show," says he's surprised at the level of "monster-ization of children" this year.
He points out that for centuries, frightening masks and "scary stories have been used to pass on a kind of coming-of-age message to children that the world is not always a safe and welcoming place." Perhaps, he says, this year parents are especially preoccupied with just how unwelcoming the world seems.
While researching a book on the history of Halloween, Skal spoke with people who grew up during the Great Depression and remembered dressing up as what they called "hobos and bums."
At that time, he said, "people were very concerned that the whole social fabric was coming apart. The idea of the rise of the unwashed masses kind of has a parallel with our fascination with zombies."

Chinese Huawei might not be among the most popular brands in the Western world, but the phone and telecommunications giant is the world's 8th biggest phone maker. And now, Huawei is planning an IPO. Going public is a way for Huawei to not only raise money, but also become more transparent and be able to easier get contracts in the United States.
Huawei has reached out to investment banks to explore the opportunity and get advice on where and how to start trading shares. The consultations are still in their early stages and Huawei hasn't picked a bank to manage its IPO yet.
Huawei is very popular in China and Asian markets, but in Western Europe and the States, most of its handsets are sold under a carrier brand and even if you use one, you might not know about it. Most recently, the company was shaken after allegations occurred that it's possible it might be pre-loading spyware on its U.S. smartphones.

It's not only hardware.
It's true that hardware might be based on HuaWei's design (including bootloader) but rest of the software is mostly written by EU/US companies.
If it's HuaWei mobile both are made by HuaWei.

Hello Guys,
I have a simple problem. You remember the mechanics of fluids? To calculate the velocity distribution in a circular tube (actual fluid) use the equation "u" and then to further develop the known Hagen-Poiseuille equation. If we consider the tube without inclination have this equation:
u = (-N 2 - R 2) / 4 * mi
if I assign values to 'r' and 'mi', we have a paraboloid of revolution that describes the velocity distribution of the fluid in the tube. How can I make this chart in matlab?
See the example:
a = [-50:50]; u = -((a.^2-(0.001^2))/(4*1.485)); plot(u,a)
syms x ezplot(-((a^2-0.001^2)/(4*1.485)))
I put an fig in attach
Thank you in advance for all the help!
i think your method works for this type of problems, try :
N=40; % Discretization Vmax=20; % 20m/s xc=0; yc=0; zc=0; R=0.5; % radius of the tube [x,y,z]=ellipsoid(xc,yc,zc,R,R,Vmax,N); z(z<0)=0; % trick to truncate the unwanted elements figure, surf(x,y,z), shading interp xlabel('X axis (m)'); ylabel(' Y axis (m)'); zlabel(' Velocity (m/s)'); title(' Velocity profile');
O/ Thank you so much! From here I think I can move forward only. Just leave it on the lack horinzontal and insert my data. Thank you again.
Log in to comment.
sorry 'u' is:
u = (-a^2 - r^2) / 4 * mi
hi here is an example before staring to answer the problem :
the veolcity is defined as :
V(r)= Vmax*(1-r²/R²), R is the radius of the tube :
R=.50 ; %radius in meters: r=linspace(-R,R,30); % varying radius Vmax=20 ; % suppose that the maximum velocity of fluid is 20 m/s
V=Vmax*(1-r.^2/R^2); figure, bar(r,V); figure, plot(V,r); xlabel(' Velocity'),ylabel(' varying radius')
ok try this way first :
R=.50 ; %radius in meters: r=linspace(-R,R,30); % varying radius Vmax=20 ; % suppose that the maximum velocity of fluid is 20 m/s V=Vmax*(1-r.^2/R^2); VV=sqrt(V'*V); figure, surf(r,r,VV), shading interp,
almost! Missing only the base should be circular. I am trying here to change that!
see this, my graph looks like a half of cylinder
[x, y, z] = ellipsoid(0,0,0,5.9,3.25,3.25,30); surfl(x, y, z) colormap copper axis equal

Make A Difference In Public Schools
With the current state of funding for public schools being, um... less then stellar, many organizations have popped up to fill the funding void. One of the coolest sites I was told about was DonorsChoose.org. It has a really unique way to give that let's you give to a program that truly believe in.
The way you give to Donors Choose is by finding a specific program that you want to give to. You can search by subject, by location, by highest poverty level, by school district, etc. The website again is DonorsChoose.org and here is how the organization works:
DonorsChoose.org is an online charity that makes it easy for anyone to help students in need.
Here's how it works: public school teachers from every corner of America post classroom project requests on DonorsChoose.org. Requests range from pencils for a poetry writing unit, to violins for a school recital, tomicroscope slides for a biology class.
Then, you can browse project requests and give any amount to the one that inspires you. Once a project reaches its funding goal, we deliver the materials to the school.
You'll get photos of your project taking place, a thank-you letter from the teacher, and a cost report showing how each dollar was spent. If you give over $100, you'll also receive hand-written thank-you letters from the students.
At DonorsChoose.org, you can give as little as $1 and get the same level of choice, transparency, and feedback that is traditionally reserved for someone who gives millions. We call it citizen philanthropy.
If you want to jump right in and donate here is a link to projects in Michigan. Help out your local schools! It seems as though they won't be receiving much help the government anytime soon.

The penultimate race on the Southwell card is a poor seller in terms of quality and ROMPING HOME should really be up to taking this from Cloudier and Tharaya. The selection has 13lbs in hand over Cloudier and 27lbs over Tharaya and really has the race at her mercy. On ratings she is clear but the distance today will not be ideal so we don't recommend big bets at short prices. The same must be said about Cloudier but Tim Vaughan's yard are in good order. Of the three mentioned above Tharaya will be best served by the trip and will certainly offer more value but Evan Williams' charge should really be taking this.

The Presidential Race isn't as Close as You Think
Is the U.S. election really a neck-and-neck race, like the pollsters in the mainstream media keep reporting? Not really. It would be close, if the popular vote indeed decided the Presidency, but it's the Electoral College that determines who wins. That's why Obama and Romney don't bother to campaign in California, New York, or Texas; the outcomes there are "givens." The swing-states are where the action is -- and this time around, Ohio is the "swingyest" of them all.

The Orthodox and Catholic Churches acted together against Muslims in the 11th century in order to regain Jerusalem, which has of a great importance for Christianity, Judaism and Islam. In 11th century, the Pope Urban II encouraged Christians to take part in holy wars. Religious causes were only visible reasons for the crusades there were also different causes such as economic and political reasons. On the other hand, the crusades had some important effects on the West and the East.
The crusades had great effects on the Western countries in that they caused some modifications in the religious, economic and political issues. Early on, the crusades contributed to the increase in the wealth of the church and the power of the papacy; however, in the course of time, the church lost reliability among Christians. Moreover, thanks to the crusades, commerce flourished between the East and the West. Some Western countries such as Venice, Pisa and Genoa acquired great wealth, and people's affluence increased and it triggered the period of the Renaissance. Furthermore, thanks to the crusades, the political atmosphere of Europe changed positively. In the middle Ages, the Western kings struggled with feudalism but the crusades contributed to undermine feudalism in the West so, central authority gained power again.
Not only the West but also the East was influenced by the crusades. Owing to the crusades, most of the countries in the Anatolia, Syria and Palestine were faced with economic and political difficulties. The crusaders plundered a lot of cities. Moreover, the crusades stopped the advance of the Turks and the fall of Constantinople was postponed for three centuries. In addition, owing to the crusades, Islamic countries lost ground against The Mongol Invasion.
To sum up, the crusades continued from 11th century to 13th century. The crusades did harm both to the West and the East. Christianity and Islam provided incentives for holy war or jihad but religious causes were used only for show.

Bryan Barber, who went from helming videos for bands like Outkast to making his feature debut with the stars of that group on the 2006 Prohibition Era musical Idlewild, grew so tired of getting close and losing out on big directing jobs that he hunted and secured a film-centric property to improve his odds. After the lengthy courtship of an 86-year old voiceover artist who controlled the rights, Barber will go to his next studio meeting flanked by Gigantor, the giant flying robot star of the 60s Japanese cartoon import with a catchy theme song and a family-friendly premise. Barber controls the movie, merchandise and videogame rights, and will shop a $60 million live action film he calls Transformers meets Goonies. And guess who'll be attached as director?
On Wolverine, Barber spent three weeks and $50,000 for a presentation that included motion capture, stunts, concept art, storyboards and sound design. Fox was impressed enough that it reimbursed Barber, but he didn't get the job.
Gigantor is an American adaptation of the anime version of Tetsujin 28-go, a manga by Mitsuteru Yokoyama released in 1956. It debuted on U.S. television in 1964. As with Speed Racer, the characters' original names were altered and the original series' violence was toned down for American viewers. Originally produced in black and white, the show was colorized and revived in the 1990s.
Barber has stature within the music video industry for his ability to break out of the cliches that have dogged the music video business. Barber's videos convey a classic mood often taken from previous era hits. Barber's ability to be heard as a clear and distinct authorial voice lay in his defining a unique visual style, a postmodern style that relied heavily on the use of classic film and TV clips. For example, Barber referenced Grease in the OutKast music video Roses and the Beatles' Ed Sullivan appearance in the band's video for Hey Ya!. In the process, Barber emerged as a talent and imparted an original image to the hip-hop movement.
Barber made his feature film debut with Idlewild, a 1930s musical set in the fictional Georgia town of Idlewild (inspired by the Michigan resort town that served as a safe vacation haven for middle-class blacks in the pre-Civil Rights era ). The film starred OutKast, who produced Idlewild (album) an accompanying album.

LOS ANGELES, July 6 (UPI) -- Some of the country's biggest banks say they are looking to expand in California, land of 37 million customers, sunshine -- and high unemployment.
JPMorgan Chase & Co., which purchased Washington Mutual, said it is planning to add hundreds of new branches to the 700 locations it already has in the state, the Los Angeles Times reported Tuesday.
U.S. Bancorp, buyer of Downey Savings, Pomona First Federal Bank and California National Bank, has expanded its presence in California to 660 branches since the financial meltdown opened opportunities to do so.
Although its headquarters is in New York, Citibank is also expanding in California, the newspaper said.
The biggest in the state, Wells Fargo & Co., with $1.1 trillion in assets, and Bank of America, with $1.7 trillion, are not taking the assault lying down.
"I'd like to see it become one in every two households over the next five years," said Lisa Stevens, president of Wells Fargo's retail operations, referring to the current status of the bank, which serves one in every three households currently.
The competition appears to play in customers' favor. California has among the lowest average overdraft fees in the country, some of them less than $20 compared with averages near $25 in other parts of the country, Bankrate.com said.

I don't reload 9mm only been focusing on .45acp but I do remember reading suggestions to reduce powder charges by 10% for lead bullets to keep from depositing lead in your barrel. I also checked the rainer website (the bullets I purchased because I didn't shop around) and it said for their plated bullets to use loading data for lead ammo because the copper was so thin.. So I went very low on my .45 ammo and have to see how that works out when I get to the range (hopefully on Saturday).
I just went to the accurate website to take a peek at their load data... for the no5 powder using a 9mm luger 124gr lead cast bullet it says to use 4.7gr of their no5 powder as a starting load and 5.4 as the max load. Maybe I'm misunderstanding something because I'm very new to this as well. But it seems to me like you made some very hot +p ammo out of the lead cast bullets. I'd check the barrels of your guns very carefully for leading.
edit to add: The berry's site suggests using FMJ load data but use the low to mid range data for their bullets.
Someone school me if I'm wrong please.

The pioneering American watch company, in its incarnation as the Boston Watch Company (formerly Waltham Watch Company) struggled through 1854 to produce 10 watches a day. Even this was too much for the trade to absorb and the company chugged along through 1855 gradually getting its watches accepted in the trade, but barely making ends meet.
The company's situation went from precarious to bankrupt in early 1857, and the company was sold at a bankruptcy auction in April 1857. Along the way to the auction, Boston Watch Company raised money on a mortgage to Charles Rice, a Boston shoe dealer, secured by watch material among other things.
The story of the auction is well known. Rice, acting for one of the principals of Boston Watch Co., Edward Howard, tried to buy the factory but was outbid by Royal Robbins, who bought it for $56,000, a lot more than he had planned to pay (some things never change). He also got less than he thought he would.
Rice took the material and machinery that were security for his mortgage and brought it all back to the original B.W. Co. factory at Roxberry. There, workmen under the supervision of Edward Howard finished Boston Watch material into complete watches signed "Howard and Rice." (paraphrased from Michael Harrold's "American Watchmaking , NAWCC, 1984).
There must have also been some development work, since the escapements on Howard and Rice watches have massive upright pallets, rather than the more conventional pallets of Boston Watch Company (Dennison Howard and Davis) watches. However, the main parts of the movements were old BW material and the BW assembly numbers are stamped on the movements. Judging from the watch I am selling, there were also spare BW cases in Rice's haul and these were used to case the finished movements. There may have been 500 watches assembled in this way, in the year before Edward Howard brought out his own style of American watch, the Howard series I, in 1858.

OUAGADOUGOU, Burkina Faso (AP) — The SITE Intelligence Group reports that an al-Qaida affiliate is claiming responsibility for the ongoing siege on an upscale hotel and cafe in Burkina Faso's capital where an unknown number of hostages are being held.
Islamic extremists struck the Splendid Hotel, forcing employees and guests to hide for their lives.
Meanwhile, the local al-Qaida affiliate known as AQIM claimed responsibility as the attack was ongoing, according to the SITE Intelligence Group.
The group issued its claim in Arabic on their "Muslim Africa" Telegram account, saying the attackers "are now entrenched and the clashes are continuing with the enemies of the religion."
Burkina Faso, a largely Muslim country, had previously been spared much of the extremist violence that has wracked neighboring Mali since 2012.

What makes an airplane not recover from a spin or stay in one without adding in antispin controls?
I build my foamy Extra 300 and a Cub like foamy. Both planes spin fairly well with a tad of up elevator and full rudder deflection. Adding in ailerons stops the spin. Full up elevator creates a slow spiral like elevator maneuver
Cross controlled rudder and aileron and full up elevator will make the extra do a slow flat spin under power.
In a normal spin as soon as the rudder is released the planes instantly stop spinning.
I have moved the cg for and aft and even re sized the vertical tail in an attempt to get one to spin with neutral sticks.
I have only had 5 planes enter a spin that was unrecoverable. Three were 40 sized SPAD glow planes. One was a bluecore pizza box and the other a long chord short span delta 24X24". That delta will go into a spin so easy it was hard to fly. It would not respond to any controls once spinning.
Do you guys have any ideas? I just like experimenting and would like to build a conventional configured airplane that will spin more like a full sized airplane.
I am sure this is a spin see 1:38- 1:58 and 3:15
See posts #18 and #19 in the recent flat spin thread https://www.rcgroups.com/forums/show...1806856&page=2. I did a lot of experimenting with this foam Super Cub. Getting the CG aft was key to making the plane do a good sustained spin rather than a vertical rolling dive or steep spiral dive. The CG didn't need to be so far aft that the plane was unstable or untrimmable or wouldn't fly ok hands-off, but it had to be much further aft than stock configuration. Getting adequate control throw is also important-- the control throws are marginal in this inexpensive trainer-type airplane, even with the pushrods in the holes that give maximum throw, but with the CG aft enough I did get consistent spins. The spin was a bit unpredictable, sometimes it was quite nose-down and sometimes it was flat. When it was flat, sometimes it was not recoverable without adding power-- the prop blast over the tail always aided recovery. A bit more control throw might have allowed consistent recovery from the flat spins without adding power, it's hard to say. I always had idle power during the spins, until I wanted to recover. For spin entry, I would usually slow the plane down in a mild bank until it was on the edge of the stall and then throw full opposite rudder for an over-the-top style entry, along with full aft stick. Then I would hold those control inputs through the spin. The plane has no ailerons. For the nose-down spins, just relaxing the rudder was enough to break the spin, even while holding full back stick. (Actually maybe sometimes I had to apply opposite rudder-- I can't remember at the moment.) For the flat spins, full nose-down stick and full opposite rudder would sometimes break the spin, other times (as noted above) power was required as well.
So-- I would say start by moving your CG aft.
Don't delay recovery until too low, especially for flat spins-- it is not uncommon for recovery to take several more turns, or for the added power to cause the nose-down stick to suddenly "take" at which the plane may pitch down beyond vertical-- not good if the ground is close.
For consistent flat spins on demand, I found it helpful to add weight to the wingtip that I wanted to be the outside wingtip. (Like the right tip for a left flat spin). Adding weight to the inside tip didn't seem to matter much, so you could add weight to both tips to get consistent flat spins in both directions. Not sure how generally applicable this principle is.
Good luck
example - an Ercoupe -if put into a spin-typically went all the way to the ground
A loaded B17 - same result - etc
- A canard - often no recovery . lateral area a BIGGIE here
-It all depends on the design - power available and control surface authority.
get a good aerobatic model and learn how spins can be input at will and changed or recovered at will -
This feedback is worth a thousand well intended words.
In model parlance - low wing loading vs high wing loading .
Oddly enough, those designs which have lateral areas of fuselage quite forward - may go into deep spin-unrecoverable -even tho the wing loading is low.
This can be demonstrated using models -for those who fly models - - In full scale some canards fall into this group.
Some of the shorter coupled planes that I have build will flat spin flat and fast however they recover quickly with neutral sticks.
As you can see in the video my Extra stops spinning immediately upon releasing rudder. Letting off the elevator does the same.
What I want to know is what can I change on the plane that will make it keep spinning with neutral sticks?
Depending on the type of spin- recovery can be very easy -or difficult As th sin gets flatter --- it tends to remain in effect -
as the spin is upset to a more vertical direction - the airspeed on the surfaces and reduced AOA allows the craft to recover. Power is sometimes needed here .
From 1:58 to 2:11 I put this jet I made in a spin and it spins like crazy. I think its fuse heavy being that its a pusher and the battery is in the nose. It takes a blast of power to get out of the spin or wait a long while and it will start tumbling.
The other week I had the cub like plane out flying and did a loop and the battery came out o the compartment and went nearly to the tail. The plane went in to a elevator and would not respond to any thing. It was super stable and landing in a flat attitude.
On my 60ich wing span cub like plane, I added 2 ounces of weight to each wing tip. This did nothing to aid the spin. I also added 3. 5 ounces of tail weight whihc moved the CG way aft. Barely flyable but would barely spin.
This is just so strange. The plane spis best with the cg on the spar however it recovers very easily.
Get the throws up and get it stalled into a spin- otherwise the plane will just mush along.
It takes some experimenting - -as for roll aids (old idea) to increase inertia in wings -forget it
Last edited by richard hanson; Feb 19, 2013 at 10:54 PM.
I think that the reference to "wing loaded" vs "fuselage loaded" planes was referring more to inertial coupling effects than to wing loading. In long and slender planes where the mass is mostly aligned with the fuselage, a quick roll input in a turn can cause an unintended spin. Consider a broomstick, spinning fast along its axis and supported only at the center. Any misalignment of the spin from the axis will quickly cause the stick to pivot around its support and start spinning at ninety degrees from the original axis. This is what happened on the X3 and the F104. The tip tanks and T tail on the F104 were designed to mitigate this effect. So, in a flat spin an F104 will tend to stay in the spin because its nose and tail try to stay as far from each other as possible, while in a glider the mass is mostly in the wing, and it's the opposite wingtips that try to align with the plane of rotation of the spin. In the glider case aileron input won't be very effective, but the tail should have enough force to dampen the spin and restore forward flight, while in the F104 case there's very little preventing the plane to roll into the turn to un-stall the inner wing and put the elevator in a position to stop the spin. that said, recovering from a spin in an F104 is probably attemptable only from a very high altitude.
Just out of curiousity, does anyone know if adding power is generally recommended for recovering from an inadvertent flat spin in full scale light aircraft or sport aerobatic aircraft? I know that standard spin recovery technique "PARE" includes power to idle, but adding power sure was the key to recovering from flat spins in the r.c. Super Cub... presumably the propwash over the rudder and elevator was helpful... Steve

According to iSuppli Corporation, Apple Incorporated's iPods traditionally have been sold at retail pricing that is about twice the level of their hardware Bill of Materials and manufacturing costs. The iPod touch is no exception. The 8GB version of the iPod touch carries a BoM cost of $149.18, based on pricing in October. When adding the iPod touch's direct-conversion cost of $5.86—consisting of manufacturing, assembly and test expenses, the total cost is $155.04. The 8GB version of the iPod touch sells for $299, meaning the price is nearly double its materials and manufacturing cost, at 92.9% higher. As usual, these estimates are strictly limited to expenses for components and other materials and manufacturing, and do not include costs for software, intellectual property, accessories and packaging, or research and development costs.
"The iPod touch likely represents the future of the high end of the iPod line. Click Wheel-interface and Hard-Disk Drive (HDD)-based versions of the iPod are expected to wane in favor of touch-screen and flash-memory-equipped models like the iPod touch. But despite its functional and physical outward resemblance to the iPhone, and the fact that its internals borrow heavily from the iPhone, the iPod touch is no iPhone clone, and has its own unique design," said Andrew Rassweiler, teardown services manager and principal analyst for iSuppli.

Nicole J.wrote a review of Black Diamond Mesa Tent: 2-Person 3-Season on October 1, 2013
Poor long-term quality
Familiarity: I've used it several times
I was so excited to find this tent. It seemed perfect at first! Awesome indoor space; nearly vertical walls; 2 double-zip doors; vented fly; good pockets (no loft needed); sizable vestibules (a bit high off the ground, but not bad - helps ventilation); easy to arrange the fly half-flipped-back, which is nice if you want to view the stars but need to be able to go full-cover fast for sudden midnight rain; sturdy in wind and warm enough to handle a surprise snowfall, based on personal experience; cheerful color. A bit heavy for backpacking, yes, but I decided it was worth it, and after the first few uses I was in love.
All that said, in the long run, it's been a BIG disappointment. After 5 years and only 4 uses, ALL of the factory seam seals started cracking/peeling/leaking in a major way, and the interior PU coating got sticky and smelly, which means it's degrading. Running an iron over it to reseal the PU or using talc to mitigate the stickiness are only temporary solutions. Eventually you're going to get wet. I got a replacement Mesa cheap at an REI garage sale, hoping the first was just a lemon; while the seam seal on the newer one seems to be holding, the PU coating is still starting to degrade, and I've never even used it. This is a normal problem if you put the tent away damp, but I always dried my first one indoors for multiple days, kept it clean, didn't store it in a hot location, etc. For the PU coating to degrade this quickly on multiple well-cared-for tents makes me think it's a general problem, and a few reviewers on other sites have mentioned it as well. The 1-year warranty means that poor REI takes the hit every time. Note they've stopped carrying it. If you're totally in love with it, keep it in a cool dry place, do NOT store it in the stuff sack, and be prepared to make your own fly after a few years. Personally, if you're going to spend this much money and have to get a tent with PU coating, I'd recommend getting one with a better warranty!

Ethics is a subject with a relatively short history in NSW primary schools. It came about in 2010 as an alternative to special religious education (SRE), which has existed since the late 19th Century.
The subject's introduction to the curriculum wasn't without drama either! In November 2010, the then NSW Opposition said it would cancel the [ethics] classes when it took power. Spearheading the anti-ethics movement was Conservative MP Reverend Fred Nile, who attempted to repeal the Ethics Classes Amendment Act in April 2011. However in 2012, his private member's bill was scrapped following recommendations from an inquiry tabled by the NSW Upper House Education Committee.
For those of you not familiar with what Ethics looks like… it's a branch of Philosophy that examines ethical concepts and issues. An Ethics class in the NSW curriculum comprises age-appropriate lessons on a wide range of topics that primary-aged children find interesting.
Leading the charge to deliver an ethical education to Australian youngsters is Primary Ethics, an independent, not-for-profit organisation responsible for all aspects of course delivery, including providing trained volunteers and resources to schools.
Primary Ethics uses online multimedia learning platforms to provide online classrooms and forums promoting dialogue between students, teachers and the entire volunteer network. Janison teamed up with Primary Ethics in 2011, to provide them with our then Learning Management System (LMS) which has since been superseded by the Cloud Learning System (CLS).
Our platform was chosen because it answered Primary Ethics' brief which was to provide:
- automatic notifications [of expiry on police checks and working with children checks]
- effective reporting
- the ability for supervisors to manage the records of their subordinates simply and easily.
It also enabled better access to curriculum teaching notes, face-to-face training and allowed for the provision of online courses. One of the big features of the platform was the ability to prevent non-compliant teachers from accessing the curriculum. This ensured the integrity and consistency of Ethics classes.
Interesting facts:
- 16,000 children from Years 1-6 were attending weekly ethics classes in their schools by the end of FY14.
- Primary Ethics' representation in schools increased by 30 per cent since 2013.
The following quotes are from primary school children who participated in a 10 week Ethics pilot program in 2010. Quirky and insightful, these proclamations reflect the children's capacity to understand and interpret the complexity of ethics.
"Children's rights was fantastic because we are children and we had a lot to say. We all thought that children should have more rights but it was interesting to see what rights we thought we should have." -Isabella, Leichardt Public School
"My most memorable ethics class was about the ill-treating of animals such as whale killing, fox hunting, horseracing, bull riding and using animals for testing medicines. I like animals and they are living things, ill-treating them is bad. I would do ethics again because I find it more interesting than scripture." -Todd, Baulkham Hills North Public School
At Janison, we're always proud to be involved in making a difference to an individual's learning experience.

Ordinarily, there is nothing wrong with Groupon's core business model. Indeed, the company is a technology leader to some small businesses and local retailers who lack the finances or tech exposures needed for them to have online presence, but there has always been something related to scam about the company that prevented its basic business model taking root in strong business practices. My concerns about Groupon are as follows:
1. Poor risk management in running deals and weak internal controls: on what figures does Groupon center its refund reserves? Yes, the company keeps refund reserves but what is its size and how was that calculated? It was because of Groupon's poor risk assessment and management that the company had to restate its fourth quarter earnings last March. In fact, Groupon has not been able to track the number of its outstanding Groupon values, which is why I think the company has weaknesses in its internal control. An analyst gave an estimate of the refund rates of Groupon to be in excess of about 40 percent year-over-year, which means the financials the company has been reporting over the years must have been laden with utmost intentional secrecy. I leave you to draw your conclusion on what you think is the true financial strength of Groupon!
2. Overly generous ''Groupon promise'' which translates into higher refund rates: perhaps because the company wants to impress its customers with the certainty of refunds where necessary, it has been granting overly generous refund promises that if implemented will make nonsense out of its sales records. Of course, the financial reports of the company aren't showing much of that. Its March quarter result says the company has enough cash and no debt, which looks good on paper, but I'm skeptical about it, not because I want Groupon to fold up, but because I strongly feel the company is being economical with the truth.
3. Deliberate maintaining of accounting records full of irregularities: it's no longer news that Groupon has been keeping irregular accounting records that often require restatement after each quarter release. News of its recent return-loss provisions has sustained the downward trend of its stock price from $18 per share to about $7 presently.
4. Running medical deals that require special qualifications, but Groupon has no means to determine who is medically qualified and who is not before selling. Groupon runs medical deals that require specific qualification but the company isn't able to determine who is qualified before making sales. The effect of this is that its refund rates will increase, creating greater risk for its cash flow on the long run if nothing is done to address the trend. Often, Groupon also runs deals such as in travel where important facts are kept away from customers, or it runs travel deals without requesting customers to pre-arrange their travel dates and confirm availability at the time of purchase. This is one of the important procedures that helps major travel providers like Expedia (NASDAQ: EXPE), Travelocity, Priceline (NASDAQ: PCLN) keep their customers. The effect of the failure of Groupon to include this procedure encourages consumers to ask for refunds if after some months they find that they can't use the Groupon deal again.
I know that emotions and biases often play a role in investing but in my opinion, investors should always try to be curious and watchful in matters concerning investing in common stocks. Groupon and its tech competitor, Facebook (NASDAQ: FB) are two stocks with common fate. Investors must have lost close to $15 billion and $34 billion in Groupon and Facebook respectively after the initial public offerings of the two tech companies. I strongly believe that many investors were really unaware of the huge risks inherent in these companies when they bought the common stocks. I know that Groupon will be making its next financials public August 13 but I'm short on Groupon until the company reverses all its negatives – if it's able to.

City ditches Thomas Drive road project
Call it a sign of the shaky economic times.
A plan to improve Thomas Drive - one of Alexandria's few remaining gravel streets - has been put on hold.
Eight property owners in the area submitted a petition to the Alexandria City Council opposing the project, which had been initiated by another group of property owners in the area last month.
They objected to the estimated $250,100 cost of the project and the assessments tied to it - an average of $7,146 per lot.
At a public hearing before the council Monday night, the owners said the assessments would create an economic burden and make it difficult to sell their lots.
"The time is wrong," said Marge Lusty, a property owner. "There's so many things going on in the city and county right now with the jail; the economy is bad. Now is not the time."
The council agreed. It voted 3-0 to abandon the project, at least for now. Council member Sara Carlson said it's possible that the city would reconsider the project in a year or two.
"If the costs were lower and times were better, we'd be doing this," Carlson said.
Property owner Tom Pappenfus gave the city three reasons to stop the project. He said it wasn't "necessary and cost effective," which the original petition maintained; a substantial number of people in the area - 18 people owning 15 parcels - were opposed to it; and the project would devalue property owners' land.
"Our values aren't going up; they're going down," Pappenfus told the council. "You're asking us to incur a cost we can't recover. It just doesn't equate."
The push for the project began on on October 14 when the council received a petition from the required 35 percent of the property owners to study the cost of paving Thomas Drive and making drainage improvements.
The 23-foot-wide gravel road, just shy of a mile long, is located between South Oak Knoll Drive and East Oak Knoll Drive, east of Discovery Middle School.
City Engineer Tim Schoonhoven said there are "pretty significant drainage" issues along Thomas Drive. Inadequate culverts and clay soils have caused yards to flood.
After they received the petition, the city ordered a study of the cost and feasibility of the project, which were presented at the council's October 27 meeting. The city planned to spread the assessments over a 10-year period at a 7 percent interest rate.
Monday's testimony brought the road project to a halt.
"In the future, I'd like to hear from the people who are for it," said council member Dave Benson. "But at this time, it's clear the project should not go on."
In other action, the council:
--Approved a request from the Runestone Museum Foundation to block-off portions of 2nd Avenue and Broadway this Friday for the "Christmas in the Fort" event.
The annual kick-off to the holiday season, which includes lighting up the downtown Christmas lights, will begin at 3:30 p.m. and conclude at 5:30 p.m.
The museum was given permission to block 2nd Avenue from traffic one block east of Broadway, and also to block Broadway from north of Downtown Liquors to Big Ole Central Park.
--Approved a request from the Alexandria Beetles to block-off Elm Street between 4th and 5th Avenue during the team's 34 home games at Knute Nelson Stadium.
Beetles' staff and interns will set up the barricades each home game and manage the handicapped parking on 5th Avenue, as they did during the 2007 and 2008 seasons.
Homeowners in the area will be notified of the street closures.
--Approved the tentative 2009 racing schedules for Viking Speedway and the Runestone Go Kart Association.
The speedway season is set to begin with a test-and-tune on Friday, April 17, followed by the season opener the next night. A total of 33 racing events are on the schedule.
Another major WISSOTA event, drawing drivers from five states and Canada, may be added in September but nothing is confirmed yet, speedway representative Burt Pexsa told the council.
As in the past, all Saturday night races must end by 10:45 p.m. Thursday night events that happen on a school night must be over by 9 p.m.
Council members thanked the speedway for sticking to the curfew last season. Mayor Dan Ness said he had heard no complaints of a curfew violation.
The go kart season will open on Friday, May 8 with a test-and-tune. Opening night is set for Friday, May 29. Fifteen races are on the schedule.
--Issued 2009 on-sale liquor licenses to seven businesses - Doolittles Woodfire Grill, D. Michael B's, Garden Center Lanes, Bennigan's of Alexandria, Holiday Inn, Raapers Sports Bar and Grill and Depot Express.
All of the licenses are renewals. None had any problems with unlawful sales, according to City Attorney John Lervick.
Two other establishments that currently have on-sale licenses, Bonito Mazatlan and Whiskey Creek Woodfire Grill, have not yet submitted applications.
A public hearing was held before the licenses were approved. No one from the public spoke.
The Alexandria Golf Club, which has a liquor license through the county, will be annexed into the city next year, noted Mayor Dan Ness. He said since the club's license with the county is effective through June 30, 2009, the city will let it operate under that license until then.
--Agreed to vacate an alley in Holes Second Addition north of 4th Avenue that Alexandria Concrete has used to store materials.
City Planner Mike Weber explained that alley, platted in the 1800s, was never built and is not serving a public purpose. Each of the parcels adjacent to it has access to either Park Street or 4th Avenue East.
The alley is not able to serve a broader purpose, such as providing a connection for pedestrians or vehicles, since it runs into a retaining wall the Minnesota Department of Transportation built along Highway 27, added Weber.
If Alexandria Concrete decides to move in the future - which it has indicated it will do - and sells off both parcels of land, the land would need to be replattted and the alley could be reconveyed then, Weber said.
--Approved a subdivision application for "Graceful Acres" requested by Cal Martinson.
The sole purpose of the platting the vacant land is to allow Martinson to convey additional land - 165 feet along Hazel Hill Road - to Grace Baptist Church, according to Weber.
The church is located on land previously acquired from Martinson and since the land was previously split, a plat is required to provide the mechanism for the transfer.
--Approved a subdivision application for Orrin Johnson's "Johnson Estates."
The property is located between Rosewood Lane and County Road 46, just north of County Road 23.
The plat is intended to create conveyable parcels or outlots in a single-family residential zone.
A maximum of 12 houses could be allowed, Any further development would need to come before the planning commission.
--Requested an advance in state funds for the municipal state aid street projects in 2009.
City Engineer Tim Schoonhoven recommended the council to take the action, which it has done routinely in the past.
It will allow the city to receive $931,550 in advance funds to pay for street improvement projects, including the Dakota Street project, next year.
--Agreed to pay Larson Allen $44,100 to conduct audits for Alexandria Light and Power, the two city-owned liquor stores and the city for 2008.
The fee is about 6 percent more than the amount the city paid in 2007, $41,600.
--Was reminded that the city's truth in taxation hearing is set for Monday, December 1 at 7 p.m.
The city is proposing a 2009 tax levy of $4.5 million - a 7.39 percent increase from this year's levy of just over $4.2 million.
Overall, expenses are budgeted to increase about 10 percent from 2008 and revenues are projected to increase about 13 percent, according to City Administrator Jim Taddei.
If needed, a continuation hearing will take place at the regular council meeting on December 8, along with the adoption of the 2009 budget.
--Issued a license to Hi-View Tree Service, a new applicant.
--Approved 2009 licenses for club on-sale liquor, wine, off-sale retail liquor, excavating contractors, garbage haulers, heating contractors, individual massage therapists, motorized vehicle racing, off-sale beer, on-sale beer, on-street parking, off-street reserve parking, pawnbrokers, set-up liquor, sign hangers, taxi cab services, tattoo and tobacco

OSMO RO MUNI Series, comprising California's first membrane system with NSF 61-certified elements, to be used in drinking water plant
Osmonics, Inc. was chosen to supply a reverse osmosis (RO) municipal water treatment system to ECO Resources, a subsidiary of Southwest Water Co. Eco Resources will function as a private utility overseeing engineering, construction, operations and maintenance of the $25 million plant to provide drinking water to the Capistrano Valley Water District, San Juan Capistrano, CA.
The Osmonics RO system will use groundwater to produce 5 million gallons of drinking water a day, significantly reducing San Juan Capistrano's dependence on outside water sources such as the Colorado River.
According to Craig Beckman, Osmonics business manager, "The Capistrano Valley project helps position Osmonics as a high-quality supplier to the private utilities in the California municipal water market." Osmonics' proven standard platform designs - including all-stainless-steel housings - and vertically integrated business structure enable highly competitive, stable pricing and reliable quality, all factors in selecting the Osmonics MUNI Series(tm) platform products to meet San Juan Capistrano's needs. ECO Resources Communications Specialist, Tim Bradley, said, "Osmonics' platform designs simplify installation and operation, and NSF certification of OSMO membrane elements provides assurance of their suitability for us in production of potable water."
The system will be built and tested at Osmonics' ISO 9001-certified factory and delivered mid-2003. The two Osmonics' 2.2 mgd RO trains will purify water for drinking for about 32,000 San Juan Capistrano residents. Osmonics will also provide ECO Resources with operation training and ongoing system support throughout the life of the equipment.
"We are realizing continued growth in the municipal market as diminishing potable water sources, consumer's heightened awareness of water quality and EPA regulations continue to drive demand for our membrane-based municipal water treatment systems," said Curt Weitnauer, vice president and general manager of Osmonics' Process Water Group. "New low-energy membrane technologies are able to provide a cost-effective alternative to conventional technologies, and, in this case, to increase San Juan Capistrano's self-reliance and decrease the amount of drinking water it must purchase from other sources."

Five Things from Bengals' 13-6 win over Patriots
CINCINNATI -- In all sorts of weather, under all kinds of pressure, Tom Brady threw at least one touchdown pass week after week. His streak went on for 52 games, the second-longest in NFL history.
He couldn't keep it going in Cincinnati, not even with the Patriots a yard away.
The Bengals ended his streak with a 13-6 victory on Sunday that ended in a downpour with New England passing away and missing. New England (4-1) failed to get into the end zone for the first time since a 16-9 loss to the Jets on Sept. 20, 2009.
"I'm bummed that we lost," Brady said of his broken streak. "I think that's all that really matters."
The Bengals (3-2) are making a habit of taking down the top passers. Two weeks earlier, they stymied Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers at Paul Brown Stadium. Now, Brady knows what it's like to feel Cincinnati's pressure.
"It's definitely fun to watch those guys go out and play," Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton said. "They're doing so many good things, and to see what they do to a guy like Tom Brady and what they've done to a lot of these quarterbacks -- they're some of the best in the league.
"They're playing unbelievable."
Five things learned from the low-scoring win:
BENGALS DEFENSE GETS TO QBs: The first time that Brady tried to pass, Geno Atkins dropped him on his back. It was the start of a rough day for yet another top quarterback. The Bengals gave Aaron Rodgers a hard time in a win over the Packers two weeks ago, and held Brady to 18 of 38 passing for 197 yards, one interception and four sacks.
"All week long, all you guys were talking about was Tom Brady," safety Chris Crocker said. "We wanted them to be talking about us."
They are now.
PATRIOTS PASSING STILL A WORK IN PROGRESS: Danny Amendola returned after missing three games with a groin injury. He was targeted nine times but had only four catches for 55 yards. After his break-out game against Atlanta, rookie Kenbrell Thompkins was held to three catches for 16 yards.
New England seemed to be making progress during the first four weeks with a new cast of receivers. In Cincinnati, they took a big step backward.
"We had too many stilly execution errors and mental mistakes today," Brady said. "It is hard to drive the ball down the field if you keep making those mistakes."
BENGALS FIND AN IDENTITY: After failing to score a touchdown during a 17-6 loss at Cleveland, the Bengals did some re-evaluation to try to figure out what kind of identity they'd like to have. The answer: Run the ball.
They ran it 39 times for 162 yards against the Patriots, a healthy 4.2-yard average. BenJarvus Green-Ellis had 67 yards and rookie Giovani Bernard had 62. Green-Ellis scored the game's only touchdown on a 1-yard run that completed a 14-play, 93-yard drive that took 7 minutes, 48 seconds.
"We ran the ball a lot and played physical and we're built to be that way," left tackle Andrew Whitworth said.
ABOUT THAT STREAK: Brady came within a few feet of extending his TD streak. Amendola fell down while making a 16-yard catch at the 1 and rolled into the end zone. Crocker touched him as he hit the ground and started to roll, making him down at the 1-yard line. The Patriots ran one time for no gain, and Brady threw a pair of incompletions, forcing New England to settle for a field goal.
So close. Instead, Brady's streak ended at 52 games with a touchdown pass, two shy of Drew Brees' mark.
ABOUT THOSE OTHER STREAKS: The Patriots' streak of four straight wins over the Bengals was snapped. They also failed to open 5-0 for the fourth time in franchise history and the first since 2007. Their streak of four straight wins over Cincinnati -- the last three by lopsided margins -- also ended. Brady remains one touchdown pass away from moving into a tie with Fran Tarkenton for fourth place all-time at 342.
