Stone receives recognition for building Tulsa's youth volleyball programs
Gary Stone is a tough coach. For more than 10 years, the Oklahoma State University Center for Health Sciences maintenance technician has been instilling the values of teamwork, patience, practice and determination in area youth as a volleyball coach for the City of Tulsa's Park and Recreation Department.
"I enjoy working with children and teaching them how to play volleyball," said Stone. "I push my players to do their best, on the court and off the court. They're learning valuable lessons as they try new things and compete as a team."
The Park and Recreation Department recently honored Stone with an award of appreciation for his many years of volunteer coaching.
"The award was presented to show Gary that we appreciate him going above and beyond for our youth," said Kathy Thompson, Lacy Park Manager. "It's because of his work that Tulsa's youth can play organized volleyball."
When Stone first began volunteering with the Tulsa Park and Recreation Department, volleyball wasn't an option. He worked with Thompson and other volunteers to establish volleyball leagues for Tulsa youth.
"It took several years to get enough interest in volleyball to be able to set a schedule with matches between teams," said Thompson. "But the number of kids who participated never bothered Gary. He was happy to be teaching these kids a new, fun sport."
Over the years, Stone has led numerous clinics to teach kids the basic fundamentals of volleyball and help develop their skills on the court. Often, he plays the role of instructor, coordinator, coach and even referee.
"Gary will bend over backward to do anything that's needed for our youth programs," said Thompson. "We wouldn't be successful without volunteers like him, who work tirelessly for our young people."
As an example to the kids he coaches, Stone does his best on and off the court, too. For more than 23 years, he has worked the late-night shift at OSU-CHS, ensuring the campus is clean and ready for the daily return of students, faculty and staff.

Sky Blues reject Whing offer
By Robin Slater
Last Updated: 01/01/70 1:00am
Micky Adams insists Brighton tried to sign Andrew Whing when he was on loan at the club.
Micky Adams insists Brighton made an offer for winger Andrew Whing when he was on loan at the League One club.
The Coventry manager, who sent Whing on loan to regain his confidence, has revealed that Albion tried to keep the player on a permanent basis.
Adams then recalled Whing before Christmas and described the offer made by Albion as unacceptable.
Adams told the Brighton Argus: "Brighton made an offer for him while he was on loan down there.
"It wasn't a written offer, it was an offer put to me by Dick Knight (Brighton Chairman) but I turned it down because it wasn't acceptable.
"We never said Andrew Whing was for sale, all I said was we were sending him down to Brighton to get games and get his confidence back.
"He is in my team at the moment and I think the lad himself would want to play in the Championship rather than League One."

Elemental: War of Magic - Impressions @ IGN
Some "updated" impressions of Stardock's strategy/RPG, Elemental, at IGN:
Once on the world map, which can be adjusted to be small or so large it'll require weeks of play to see all there is, you'll notice your sovereign isn't alone. Other NPCs run around the landscape who can be recruited, enemies perch in positions around the terrain waiting for someone to pass by, and ruins dot the ground that's been ravaged by war. You can wander around snatching up resources from various debris piles, but a good idea would be to cast a spell to rejuvenate a patch of land so a city can be founded. Initially it's just a meager camp with little going on, and you can zoom in and observe behavior. Ideally it'll grow over time, changing in visual appearance as it becomes a better place to live and you tack on workshops and defensive structures. To simplify this process, the game has only one resource type, so you don't need to worry about gathering wood and stone and a bunch of other things from the environment to build out population centers.

You talked all that smack ignored me as if I wasn't even there.
Demanded stuff that wasn't even your concern or care.
Then you asked forgiveness, but why should I care for you where never there.
You should've thought about that before you spoke like you had some balls.
Do what you do best, which is nothing at all.
Nothing will change so it's best if I don't care at all.
If you dont like whats said who's fault is that but yours.

Obama vs. Paul Ryan: five ways their debt plans differ
5 of 5
5. Medicare
The Republican plan pushed by Ryan emphasizes reducing the growth of Medicare spending for the future, while keeping current benefit levels for people in or near retirement. Longer-term, the program would evolve into a "premium-support" system in which the government would pay for a chunk of insurance premiums.
The GOP blueprint says this is not a voucher program, but it would cap federal liabilities in a similar way. Currently, the Ryan plan says, "the open-ended, blank-check nature of the Medicare subsidy drives health-care inflation at an astonishing pace."
Critics say the Ryan plan shifts costs away from the federal government, but wouldn't reduce health-care costs overall.
The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office, while not voicing an opinion on the Ryan plan, estimates that "beneficiaries participating in the new premium support program would bear a much larger share of their health-care costs than they would under the traditional program."
Obama said in his speech that the Republican plan would push up a senior's healthcare costs by $6,000 or more a year. "Put simply, it ends Medicare as we know it," he claimed.
The Republican blueprint estimates its savings on Medicare at $389 billion over the decade ending in 2022.
Obama says his new plan would save $200 billion over 10 years by squeezing more costs out of Medicare, through better bargaining for prescription drugs, and tapping an advisory board of physicians and health-care consumers to revise the payment systems for doctors and hospitals. The White House fact sheet calls for "holding Medicare cost growth per beneficiary to GDP per capita plus 0.5 percent beginning in 2018, through strengthening the Independent Payment Advisory Board" that was set up in Obama's health-care reform act.

Washington Post
Tuesday 6 May 2003
Some of the lobbyists and corporate executives who funded President Bush's campaign agreed to raise at least $250,000 apiece, much more than the previously reported goal of $100,000, according to campaign documents.
The documents, released as part of litigation over the nation's new campaign-finance law, show that the Bush campaign's financial appetite made the contribution limit of $1,000 look like little more than a formality.
Although no individual could legally give more than $1,000, the campaign circulated pledge sheets inviting donors to raise $250,000 from their friends and subordinates, then tracked the results with a computer code so the donor would get credit for all the checks.
Those who raised $100,000 were recognized as Pioneers, but the campaign documents show that there was a previously undisclosed class of donor who raised as much as $600,000. When the Pioneer program was created by Bush's presidential exploratory campaign in 1999, the announced goal for members was $100,000, although the campaign always made it clear that they could raise more.
In fact, they were encouraged to do so. The pledge form from the finance committee of the George W. Bush Presidential Exploratory Committee Inc. had an "I pledge to raise" section ranging from $25,000 to $250,000.
Republican officials said the campaign made no distinction between the premium Pioneers and the regular ones.
One enthusiastic telemarketing executive was not content with the choices on the form and wrote "$5.75 million" in bold letters, although there is no indication he raised that much. At least 26 supporters promised to raise $250,000, one wrote in $500,000 and two pledged $1 million. Many of them fell short.
The form asked donors to give a target date for completing the goal. A corner of the form included a four-digit number that the campaign used to track the contributions on spreadsheets. "Remember, your Solicitor Tracking Number is your personal tracking number for money that you raise," the form said. "Please place this number on any check that you solicit."
The campaign also tracked contributions by industry, and Democrats have asserted that the system was set up to expedite reward and punishment. Jack Oliver, the campaign's national finance director, said in a deposition during the campaign-finance litigation that the number was used to prevent disputes over who had raised what.
"The Pioneer system itself, the tracking method was effective because people didn't fight over things like they usually did," said Oliver, now the deputy chairman of the Republican National Committee.
Targeted solicitations were made to airline, association and utility executives and Bush's class at Harvard Business School, according to the documents. Some of the letters used campaign stationery, but Oliver said the solicitations were from individual Bush supporters and not the campaign. "We wanted to reach out as broadly as humanly possible, to touch as many different segments of America as we could," Oliver said in the deposition.
Pioneers were given briefings on confidential polling data and were feted at a reception at the Republican National Convention. Since Bush took office, at least 19 have been named ambassadors.
The documents, which were first reported by the Dallas Morning News and the New York Times, showed that at least 27 couples had raised $200,000 or more for Bush by the time he had defeated Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) in the 2000 primaries, and the money kept rolling in for several more months.
Many of the super-Pioneers were longtime friends of Bush, but others were executives who stood to benefit substantially from his administration. Frederick L. Webber, credited with raising $206,000 through March 15, 2000, was president and chief executive of the American Chemistry Council until seven months ago. The council, which represents chemical manufacturers, promotes the "sound science" approach to environmental regulation that has been a mantra of Bush's administration.
Another of the premium Pioneers was Richard E. Hug of Baltimore, founder and chairman emeritus of Environmental Elements Corp., which makes smokestack scrubbers and other pollution controls. Hug said that Bush's Clear Skies Initiative, which would revise parts of the Clean Air Act and is being considered by Congress, would be "very beneficial" to his company by requiring utilities to upgrade their emission systems, but that it had nothing to do with the $275,000 he raised.
"The Pioneers program really incentivized people to do a great job for the next president," said Hug, who was Bush's Maryland finance chairman. "There wasn't any financial remuneration or anything like that, but it was just being on the team. I can't imagine there's any Pioneer who won't help George W. again."
Hug noted with a chuckle that the Pioneers had to pay extra for the sterling silver cufflinks that served as emblems of their service to the campaign.
Bonnie Tenneriello, staff attorney for the National Voting Rights Initiative, which released the documents, said they show that the campaign-finance system gives "a huge advantage to wealthy individuals who are able to network and effectively aggregate huge amounts."
Her group went to court to argue against the doubling of the money that can be given to a campaign as a direct contribution, known as hard money, to $2,000 under the new campaign finance law Bush signed last year. On Friday, a three-judge panel of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia struck down major provisions of the law, but left in place the higher ceiling for direct contributions to campaigns.
Republican sources said that because of the new limit, Bush's reelection campaign is likely to ask Pioneers to raise at least $200,000.

Special to The PREVIEW
One of the most beloved and acclaimed bands on today's bluegrass scene, The Grascals will take the stage at the Community Concert Hall at Fort Lewis College on Saturday, Jan. 18. Durango-based Running Out Of Road will open the show at 7 p.m.
It is said that great musicians will always find a way to make good music, but for great musicians to make great music, they must form a bond — one that, more often than not, goes beyond the purely musical to the personal. For The Grascals, that bond has been forged at the intersection of personal friendships, shared professional resumes and an appreciation for the innovative mingling of bluegrass and country music that has been a hallmark of the Nashville scene for more than 40 years.
With more than 20 years of crossed paths, The Grascals' seemingly quick emergence as a group is no surprise. Vocally, the trio of Terry Eldredge, Jamie Johnson and Terry Smith cut loose on driving solo vocals and soaring trios with equal fire and passion. The musicality is completed with Danny Roberts (mandolin), Jerry Abshire (fiddle) and Kristin Scott Benson (banjo).
The Grascals' rare musical empathy gives the band members an unerring ear for just the right touch to illuminate each song's deepest spirit — whether they're digging into one of their original songs or reworking a bluegrass classic or pop standard. This unique sound has earned the band two Grammy nominations for Best Bluegrass Album.
The Grascals are touring in promotion of the band's November 2013 release, "When I Get My Pay." View The Grascals' video for "American Pickers" featuring Dierks Bentley from "When I Get My Pay" at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sgc17O1RgKo.
The Grascals' special guest, Durango-based Running Out Of Road (ROOR), delves into the nature of great American roots style music through arrangement and performance of original material, contributing to the ever-growing bluegrass tradition of Colorado. With a genesis found during early Friday morning jam sessions (before the band members' "real" jobs), ROOR gained traction when Duane Tucker (banjo, vocals) and Ian Lennox (guitar, vocals) brought forward their songwriting talents. Jeff Moorehead (dobro), Michelle Fletcher (base, vocals) and Rusty Charpentier (fiddle, vocals) round out the band.
All members of ROOR work to inspire the next generation of bluegrassers by hosting a String Club for kids in the Durango area.
Tickets for The Grascals with special guest Running Out Of Road ($18/$24) are available online at www.durangoconcerts.com or by calling 247-7657, or visit the ticket office inside the Durango Welcome Center at 8th Street and Main Avenue, downtown Durango.
Showtime is 7 p.m., with doors to the Concert Hall and concessions (serving beer, wine and nonalcoholic beverages and snacks) opening at 6 p.m. On show day, the box office at the Concert Hall will be open one hour prior to curtain, and remain open through intermission.
Purchase tickets to three or more Concert Hall productions in one sales transaction and receive 10 percent off each ticket. Discounts cannot be combined, and all sales are final.
The Community Concert Hall is a not-for-profit, multi-use performance venue located on the campus of Fort Lewis College. Its ability to bring a diverse spectrum of shows to Southwest Colorado is made possible through a partnership with the college, a state-supported, independent institution of higher education, and through financial and in-kind contributions from generous members of the community.

companies that offer their services via phone to disclose fees and estimate how long it will take to resolve a case, and the companies can no longer charge up-front fees. "If anyone asks for money up front, go elsewhere, because they aren't following the rules," says Detweiler. If your debt is forgiven through settlement, be aware that you may need to pay taxes on the forgiven amount.
Know your options. Today's typical college grad leaves campus with more than $27,000 in student loan debt, and that figure has risen about 6% annually over the past five years, says Lynnette Khalfani-Cox, author of Zero Debt for College Grads (Kaplan Publishing; $14.95). Loan forgiveness programs can help. For example, those employed by a federal agency can make use of the federal student loan repayment program. Through the program, any federal agency a graduate works for can pay off up to $10,000 annually in federal student loans, up to a maximum of $60,000. For more information, visit www.opm.gov.
If you've fallen on hard times, speak up. If your federal loan is in default, filing a statement of financial status with the U.S. Department of Education may reduce your monthly payment. "You can also get forbearance if you're unemployed," Khalfani-Cox adds. You will still be charged interest, however. In addition, there are several payment options (among them, standard, extended, graduated, and income sensitive). With the income-sensitive and extended payment plans, for example, you can pay as little as $25 a month for up to 30 years. To learn how these options work, go to www.finaid.org/calculators. Khalfani-Cox advises paying what you can afford. "With federal regulations and reform, starting in 2014, new borrowers who pay their loans on time can have their remaining balances forgiven after 20 years." Those who work for certain nonprofit, tax exempt, 501(c)(3) organizations can have their loans forgiven after 10 years.
Consider consolidation. As long as your loans are not delinquent or in collection, you can consolidate them into one new consolidated loan. To find out if you qualify, contact the Federal Direct Consolidation Loans Information Center. If you've already defaulted, you must bring your loans out of default by making three monthly payments on time in any amount you and the lender agree to. Read about the pros and cons of a consolidated loan at FinAid.org. Be aware that consolidating a defaulted loan does not remove the default from your credit report.
Take steps toward rehabilitation. To rehabilitate a defaulted federal student loan, contact the loan holder. If you don't know which organization holds your loan, call the Federal Student Aid Information Center at 1-800-433-3243. Be prepared to make nine consecutive payments in the amount you and the loan holder agree to. Loan rehabilitation removes the default from one's credit report; though, of course, it's better to avoid defaulting in the first place. Khalfani-Cox estimates that nine

Connecticut Seeks to Rein In Contractors
By WILLIAM YARDLEY
Published: September 2, 2004
Two months after Gov. John G. Rowland resigned amid questions about his relationships with people doing business with the state, a task force created by his successor has proposed an overhaul of contracting procedures that it found inconsistent and vulnerable to improper influence.
''Coupled with a lack of central coordination,'' a 37-page report released on Wednesday concluded, ''this fragmented system lends itself to administrative inefficiency, political intervention and abuse.''
Gov. M. Jodi Rell, who took office on July 1 after Mr. Rowland resigned, created the task force as part of a series of ethics reforms. Mrs. Rell said on Wednesday that the report would help guide the General Assembly when it convened in January. She brushed off suggestions that its recommendations could further complicate an already complex process.
''We don't want to add another layer of bureaucracy,'' Mrs. Rell said. ''What we really want to do is add integrity to the process.''
The report offered 133 recommendations under seven headings. The first group included establishing a Contract Standards and Properties Review Board charged with enforcing a new ''uniform contracting statute that consolidates existing statutes and regulations.'' The board could help determine whether to ''freeze, or void, contracts where improprieties are found.''
Other recommendations include increasing penalties for contractors who violate rules; requiring disclosure of political contributions; giving judges the power to revoke state pensions ''for serious violations of the ethics code;'' restricting contractors from giving gifts worth more than $10 to state employees; giving ''subpoena power'' to the chief state's attorney; creating ''a single purchasing portal for all state bid and contract information;'' and better ethics training for state employees.
The report did not specifically address the conduct of Mr. Rowland and others in his administration, which prompted an impeachment inquiry and a federal investigation into gifts Mr. Rowland received from people working for and doing business with the state. One former member of Mr. Rowland's administration pleaded guilty to corruption and others face possible indictment on charges of steering contracts.
James T. Fleming, the commissioner of the Department of Public Works and a leader of the task force, said the proposed changes ''would absolutely have prevented some of the things that we saw.''
The report's release generated a small flurry of responses among Democrats and Republicans eager to be associated with the agenda that Mrs. Rell, a Republican, has pressed.
Attorney General Richard Blumenthal, a Democrat, said that many recommendations echoed his own. Only one Democrat, Lt. Gov. Kevin B. Sullivan, made a point of expressing some concern while also offering praise.
''Proposals for a new statewide procurement authority offer the appearance of accountability, but may actually make it easier to centralize political or personal abuse while deterring innovation and efficiency,'' Mr. Sullivan said in a statement based on a draft of the report. ''Is there any reason to believe that a return to more remote and burdensome executive bureaucratic controls will add accountability rather than just more outside influence, delay and cost?''
Mrs. Rell, without naming Mr. Sullivan, cautioned against ''jumping to conclusions about specifics'' and emphasized that the report was ''a work in progress.''
Senator Donald J. DeFronzo, a Democrat from New Britain and a task force chairman, said of Mr. Sullivan's concerns: ''There's a far greater opportunity for abuse and hijacking of the system without a centralized review process.''

Small fire breaks out at Lakeshirts
A small fire broke out this morning at Lakeshirts in Detroit Lakes.
Detroit Lakes Police Chief Kel Keena said that the fire likely was started in a dryer near the back of the main building by the loading docks.
It's been contained and the Detroit Lakes Fire Department is wrapping up operations.
Fire Chief Jeff Swanson said that three-fourths of the building was operational while the fire was being put out.
"(They're) very lucky from what it could've been," Swanson said.
No injuries have been reported yet and a damage estimate isn't available, but there is no damage visible from the outside besides a small pile of burnt cloth.
There was a noticeable acrid stench recognizable as coming from an electrical fire lingering around.
Swanson said that the biggest loss for Lakeshirts is the damage to the large industrial dryer and clothes that were smoke damaged.

Complaint Review: ALYSA BRADSHAW
ALYSA BRADSHAW MANIPULATOR, LIAR, SEX ADDICT, COMPULSIVE ADDICT,HEROIN ADDICT EDMONTON Nationwide
ALYSA BRADSHAW formerly from VANDERHOOF BC, KELOWNA BC and now resides in EDMONTON ALBERTA
Alysa Bradshaw is now a stripper in Edmonton Alberta and do not trust this woman or allow her to be around your pocklets, wallets, or purses as she will do anything for money and cannot be trusted. She is a disgusting bag of waste of space who really believes that people in the "program" won't share details about others - this is hardly the case. Addicts such as herself are only concerned about themselves with their constant ruminating, rehashing self involved non sense - yet call it a "disease" - good money making scam. This woman has no friends because she sleeps with her so-called friends husbands and boyfriends. Alysa Bradshaw's consistant self narrative is, "I'm sorry." She is always sorry, uses "addiction" as an excuse and never changes. She is the biggest gutter w***e on the planet and it is a wonder how she lives with herself - she specializes in sleeping with her friends boyfriends and husbands or even more sick - she specializes in sleeping with her boyfriends male best friends. It is all so convoluted it is difficult to decipher. And when with a man, no one else exists. She has only one predominant thought and that is about herself - she believes she is self less yet she is the most selfish sick woman that exists. Over and over and over and over this woman continues on the same sick self absorbed path leaving pain and destruction in her wake - especially against her poor children - but her constant excuse is, I can't help it - I'm an "addict." It's revolting enough that Alysa Bradshaw has betrayed so many of her so-called friends by sleeping with their husbands or boyfriends - even more revolting - she has always chosen a long list of men over her children. Yet repetitively says, "sorry" begs for forgiveness and then goes on her merry way and repeats the same behavior. This woman must learn how to stop thinking about herself and learn how to stop obsessing about men - this is all she is about - this is all that she does - this is what her life revolves around and yet she thinks that because she hasn't had a drink that she's "sober." These white knucklers are the worst kind of sick, insane, demented forms of destruction.

Post #1 - Blurb
Post #2 - The beginning - thumbnails and cabs
Post #3 - The future
Post #4 - The future
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
I got tired of seeing my HD wallpapers blurred by manila, so I hit maranell0's HDWall.
There are various other threads containing HDWall cabs with some trully unique and wonderful contributions.
The thing that motivated me most to make my own cabs was that I found each poster has their own preferences; transparent taskbars, transparent softkeys, tweaked sliders etc.
For me, I wanted simply the HD wallpaper. I have customised softkeys and taskbars and I didn't want to mess with them.
The attached HDWall cabs have been tested on a HD2 (T8585) with:
- Stock WWE ROM 1.66
- Manila v2.5.1921
- Co0kies HT 1.7.1
- [Manila Patch] High Quality Wallpaper for Home Tab & Manila Start Menu by Co0kieMonster
- BG4all
There are two options for installing these cabs:
Option A - direct
Simply choose the cab you prefer and save it to your device.
Using your prefered file explorer, browse to the cab and click.
Option B - via HDWalls
Transfer the cab AND the associated '*-P.jpg' file to your nominated directory on your device where you store HDWall cabs.
Open HDWallS
Browse to the thumbnails until you find the new image.
Click and install.
Uninstall before installing
Before installing one of my cabs, be sure to uninstall any previous HDWall cab you may have installed.
Co0kie recommends that you avoid using BG4all and HDWall together.
I have BG4all running smoothly with these cabs and have experienced no problems. The HD image is displayed on all tabs.
Please be conscious of this if you experience problems.
Images for lockscreen
Attached is a zip file of all original images should you wish to manually change your lockscreen pic to match your wallpaper.
These cabs are all uninstallable.
Requests welcome!
If you would like a wallpaper made for you, please do not hesitate to ask. Simply post your preferred image and I will endeavour to create your ideal background.
Images are generally found online. I take no credit for the original images. Thank you to the talented people behind the camera.
Alot of these images were sources from InterfaceLIFT - a site with images contributed from all corners of the planet. A virtual cornucopia of impressive artwork!

Lindsay Hawker's killer given life
The long, harrowing journey for the grieving family of Lindsay Hawker finally ended yesterday when the man who raped and strangled the English teacher was sentenced to life in prison.
Tatsuya Ichihashi (32), throttled Miss Hawker after a sustained attack at his Tokyo flat in 2007 but a Japanese court rejected the victim's family's request that he should be hanged, saying there was still a chance the killer could be rehabilitated.
"Perhaps he has a chance to make a new start, or to be corrected," said Judge Masaya Hotta as the victim's father, Bill Hawker, sat in court and shook his head. Mr Hawker later said he was "pleased" with the outcome.
"We have been waiting for this day for a long time," he said, flanked by his wife Julia, and their two daughters Louise and Lisa.
Holding a picture of his dead daughter, he thanked the Japanese and British police for catching her killer.
Ichihashi trapped Miss Hawker (22), inside his flat after badgering her into giving him a private English lesson.
He lured her inside and attacked her, binding her hands and feet with plastic strips.
After killing her, Ichihashi bought compost, sand and chemicals, stripped her body and stuffed her into his bath, leaving a single arm protruding. He dragged the bath out onto his balcony to slowly decompose.
Some speculated that the young botanist intended to grow flowers in the bath to speed up decomposition.
Ichihashi fled after the killing sparked one of the longest manhunts ever in Japan. Later he paid for several operations that changed his appearance before he was spotted trying to board a ferry to Okinawa in November 2009.
Story so far
- March 25, 2007: Miss Hawker gives an English class to Tatsuya Ichihashi in a coffee shop in Tokyo. Lindsay returns to Ichihashi's apartment, telling the taxi to wait. After seven minutes, the driver leaves.
- March 26: Staff at the language school call her father Bill to say she has missed two days of teaching. Police arrive at Ichihashi's apartment, but he bolts. Japanese police find Miss Hawker's body on the balcony.
- November 10, 2009: Ichihashi is arrested by Japanese police at a ferry terminal in Osaka, western Japan.

text: Can you experts throw me in some recommendation for a string to replace my kevlar? I'm looking for a string that is durable (of course nothing can be as durable as kevlar but something similar), spin friendly, but soft and cheap. (I can't afford nat gut) I'm currently using kevlar 18/ babolat hurricane 18 setting. I really like this setting not only because it hardly breaks but also feel very solid. I string mid 40 for kevlar. But recently I've got a wrist injury. It is not bad but I'm more and more concerned about it. Before using this I never got a wrist injury so I'm pretty sure that it's coming from the kevlar. Thanks a lot for your help!

Large crowds see exciting racing during nationals
WORTHINGTON -- The Worthington Nationals, sponsored by Pepsi and Jaycox Implements, brought sizeable crowds to Nobles County Speedway this past Saturday and Sunday nights.
The following are the results from Sunday feature action:
Going green in the 15-lap feature, Paul Reisdorfer jumped out front and Nick Ober stayed close behind. Todd Uhl went high and fell back as Kenny Johnson moved into third. Uhl was fourth while Elray Sybesma and Dusty Seachris battled for fifth. Brent Staab would have some car trouble, bringing out the caution flag.
As they went back green, Reisdorfer and Ober got together coming down the front stretch. Reisdorfer got sideways and spun, Uhl went high and ended up in the guard rail and Staab -- trying to miss the cars on the bottom -- also went high and hit Uhl. The collision put an end to each of the drivers' nights.
Seachris went on to take the win, with Sybesma second and Joey Streeter third.
Dan Strandberg and Chad Lonnerma brought the 23 cars around to start their 20-lap feature. As they went green Strandberg was out front, Corey Groenwold second, Lonnerman third, Cory Probst fourth and Jerry Groenwold fifth. Brad Halbur soon brought out the caution flag.
Going back green Corey Groenwold looked to the inside of Strandberg, but Strandberg held him off. Dylan Anderson would soon bring out another caution, and after going back green once more Lonnerman and Dan Hovden got together down the back stretch, bringing out a caution again.
Strandberg, Groenwold, Probst, Groenwold and Justin Luinenburg were the top five going back green. Still not making a lap, Dustin Gusbrandsan stopped on the track for another caution. On a single-file restart it was Strandberg out front, followed by Probst, Groenwold, Luinenburg and Jeremy Van Ede. Clyde Krog later brought out an additional caution flag.
Groenwold and Luinenburg vited for the third spot going back green, and Van Ede tried to move into battle as well. Strandberg ultimoately went on to take the win with Probst second, Groenwold third, Luinenburg fourth and Van Ede fifth.
Shane Fick jumped out front going green. As the cars came around corner three, Jason Wagoner would roll to bring out the red flag. While attempting to go back green, Kalob Johnson and Derek Steen got together; Steen spun and Tom Hedofner would hit and go over to bring out another red flag.
The top five as they went back green were Fick, Wade Huisman, Cody Ledger, Brandon Buyss and Ryan Schuur. Buyss, with car trouble, later brought out the caution. Going back green once more, Schuur got on the inside and worked his way up to take second. Cody Ledger and Kris Wilke also moved into the top five. Zach Drahota would later bring out the caution once more.
Schuur got on the inside of Fick going back green and went on to earn the win. Ledger was second, Wilke third, Huisman fourth and Ed Wagoner fifth.
Nick Johanson jumped out front with Steve Bents moving into second. Jason Fisher and Brady Joynt battled for third and fourth when Dan Ahler moved past both, taking third. Johanson and Bents were going side by side when Nick Dieter spun, bringing out the caution flag.
Johanson was out front going back green. Bents and Ahlers were neck-and-neck, but Ahlers would drop back and Tracy Johnson move up. Josh Bonnstetter, on the bottom, worked his way up to battle with Bents at the white flag. As they took the checkered flag Johanson got the win, drag racing down the front stretch. Bonnstetter was second, Bents third, Johnson fourth and Ahlers fifth.
Street Stock
Jim Larson and Dustin Larson brought them around to take the green flag in the 25-lap feature. Dustin Larson jumped out front and Jim, Luke Sathoff and Chris Palsrock all battled behind. Kyle Falck, with a flat tire, brought out the caution.
Not making it around the corner, Rich Gregoire stopped to bring out the caution once again. Dustin and Jim occupied the top two spots while Palsrock, Sathoff and Ron Prins went three-wide. Sathoff took third, Palsrock fourth and Mitch Hovden fifth. Corey Groenwold would soon spin, bringing out another caution.
Going back green, Hovden got around Palsrock for fourth. Prins would spin, but kept going to avoid a caution. Falck, on the move, passed Hovden and Palsrock, who continued to battle. Sathoff got around Jim for second, and Falck later worked his way past Jim for third. Hovden dropped back, with Jeff Larson advancing into the top five.
At the checkered flag, it was Dustin taking the win. Sathoff was second, Falck third, Jim fourth and Jeff fifth.

Product Review - Osborn Mid-Priced Home Theater Speaker System - December, 2000
David Wurtz - Editor, Australia
F4 Specifications
17 Hammersley Court, Taylors Lakes, Victoria, Australia. 3038 Tel. +(613) 93901564. Fax. +(613) 93904775.Email: [email protected]; Web:http://www.osbornloudspeakers.com.au/
USA and Canada Contacts: NuView Marketing, Karl Schaefer
System as tested consists of:
Osborn F4s Floorstanding Loudspeakers
One Osborn C2 Center Speaker
One Osborn T12 Active Subwoofer
With the increasing popularity of home theater, Greg Osborn of Osborn Loudspeakers has put together a package from his line of hi-fi speakers to create a middle-priced home theater speaker system. Using his smallest subwoofer (the T12, which is anything but small as you will read later), his mid-range center speaker (the C2), and his best value for money/performance floorstander (the F4), Greg gives you the true realism of home theater at a price that is still affordable. Let's see how the system has turned out.
The Equipment
Osborn F4 Loudspeaker
The enclosure, as with all Osborn products, is large and heavy, being constructed of 1.25" veneered MDF. Having a height of 860mm and a weight of 32 kg (about 70 pounds), the F4 is anything but a run of the mill floorstanding loudspeaker. It uses a 205mm (8) Polykevlar coned bass driver and a 20mm Kevlar tweeter that are mounted in a vertical array. The F4 runs flat to 35 Hz, and really, four of these in one room has the potential to be devastating to your innards. The internal crossover uses the finest components that Greg can source and are connected by Osborn high speed cables. They are bi-wirable and are also supplied with speaker spikes. All in all, a fantastic package for Gregs best value for money loudspeaker.
Osborn C2 Center Speaker
The C2 has been specially designed to match with nearly all of the Osborn range of loudspeakers. It will handle the large power and transient demands of THX, DD, and DTS signals. The configuration uses two 179mm Neoflex bass drivers and a 20mm-titanium tweeter, with the enclosure being constructed of the same 1.25 veneered MDF, only this time in "basic black". The drivers are arranged with the tweeter between the two bass drivers. The baffle has twin 50mm ports. The C2 is also considerably heavy, weighing 29 Kg (64 pounds). Need I say how important it is to have a massive center channel speaker, when most of the movie sound is going to that channel? Frequency response (flat to 35 Hz) of the unit was designed to go as low as possible for accurate reproduction of voice and dialogue.
Osborn T12 Active Subwoofer
Powered by a 195 watt amplifier module that is designed and manufactured in Australia by Ian Robinson of Redgum Audio, the T12 is meant to be Osborns smallest subwoofer. Yeah right! The T12 is essentially a less expensive version of the Osborn Monumental Subwoofer reviewed by Secrets earlier this year. It uses a driver that is in fact an exact copy of the more expensive Focal driver used in the Monumental, except it is made elsewhere at lower labor costs. Dont let that put you off, because it still had to pass the rigorous testing to be included as part of Osborns range. I suppose you could say it's an excellent compromise between performance and price. The 300mm (12) driver is in a smaller box than its bigger brother The Monumental. Notwithstanding this, it is still not designed with any internal tricks or frequency compensation circuits. The excellent low frequency response is achieved through careful design and manufacturing. There is a single 100mm port on the baffle, and the rear of the unit reveals the amp module. This has high and low level inputs, adjustable crossover point, and output level controls. In this case, the T12 was supplied in the black veneer, but is is also available in the same finish as the F4s (e.g., exotic Bubinga wood).
The Sound
After spending about an hour reconfiguring my Yamaha DSPA1, Toshiba SD-K330 DVD player, Redgum's new six-channel home theater amp (see review in the coming weeks), positioning the new Osborn gear and setting the levels with the aid of the AVIA test DVD and Tandy SPL meter (I was very happy to note that levels in my sound room were only 1.5 dB out between the 6 speakers @ 85dB SPL {pink noise}), I fired it up.
The first disc I played was my old faithful reference DVD, The Matrix. What can I say? Time to get the check book out again. I cant help but marvel at all the fantastic equipment we produce here in Australia (if I do say so myself), and it is going to send me broke! Anyway, Ill stop complaining about my lack of finance and get back to the review. "The Matrix". Yeah. Fantas-magorical! I was re-feeling all the emotion in this very special movie. The soundstage was as close to perfect as I had ever heard. Of particular note, the final scene where the Sentinels are tearing the "NebuchadnezzaR" apart, lasers going left and right, metal shearing off in different directions, and a double-scoop of deep rumbling bass with sugar on top, all this while voices were clearly being reproduced. If at some stage I ever had any doubts about using four matched floorstanders for Dolby Digital or DTS surround, I was fully cured!
Time to dig out big action movies, so "Starship Troopers" and "Independence Day" were on tap. Timbre matching between the four F4s was absolutely perfect, as you would expect. The speed and authority were nothing short of spectacular, and my home theater was the way it should be, a totally immersing experience. The trouser- flapping bass and pin-point surround effects from these two most awesome of Sci-Fi flicks were inspirational.
The T12 sub kept up nicely, only being slightly taxed when the levels approached window cracking levels. This bass unit, as I said earlier, is similar to the Focal driver in the Monumental, and performs nearly as well, but not quite. Bass was punchy and plentiful, and most importantly, accurate.
More subtle soundtracks from flicks like "The Fugitive" grew nicely in intensity and were again, a pleasure to watch. The Osborn system definitely enhanced an already moving soundtrack.
I also noted that the C2 center speaker, while being a great sounding speaker on its own and also blending quite well with the F4s, was not a perfect match for the F4s. That is because the F4 is a very large, heavy, full range speaker, and no center that is smaller can match such a speaker. This will happen with any set of home theater speakers where the mains and rears are big floorstanders. The fact that this occurs in spite of the C2 being a 64 pound monster, is testimony to how important it is to have as large a center speaker as you can, in relation to the other speakers in the system. Putting an F4 on top of your TV is not practical, hence a good compromise in the C2.
I highly recommend this system and as a special for Secrets readers, you can purchase the entire package at a discount price.

The California Association of Realtors wants to make you the consumer aware of the mortgage fraud that has been happening in California.
Troubled homeowners are at risk of falling victim to scam artists offering mortgage modification and other foreclosure prevention services. Here are some things to look for. Ironically, scams like this operate right alongside legitimate foreclosure avoidance and mitigation programs that offer assistance at no charge. With far more crooks than prosecutors and billions of dollars in assistance at stake, the problem worsens each time a new foreclosure program is introduced. Mortgage scams are up 60 percent nationally so far in 2012. According to the nonprofit Homeownership Preservation Foundation. Scammers gear up to help themselves to a share of California's $18 billion settlement with five of the nation's largest mortgage lenders. Recently, the state Attorney General warned homeowners to be wary of solicitations from third parties promising to help them qualify.
So what can homeowners do to avoid becoming a victim?
• Never pay up-front fees. Foreclosure consultants are prohibited by law from collecting money before services are performed. Instead, call (888) 995-HOPE or visit www.995hope.org/ for a referral to a free HUD-approved housing counselor who can educate you about loan modifications, short sales, and other alternatives to foreclosure.
• Pay attention to letters from your lender or loan servicer. Bank of America, for example, recently sent letters to 200,000 holders of Bank of America/Countrywide mortgages who may be eligible for loan modifications or principal reductions under the terms of the national mortgage settlement. Only your lender or loan servicer is authorized to help you file a claim for assistance. You can visit www.nationalmortgagesettlement.com for more information.
• Don't transfer title or sell your home to anyone claiming to be able to rescue it from foreclosure by allowing you to stay on as a renter and purchasing it back in the future. Sometimes, this scheme is part of a fraudulent bankruptcy filing. Ultimately, the perpetrator may claim ownership and evict the homeowner.
• Don't make your mortgage payments to anyone other than your lender or loan servicer without the lender's or servicer's approval. Scammers generally keep the money for themselves, while your mortgage is likely to end up in default.
• Never sign any documents without first reading them. Many homeowners are falsely led to believe by scammers that they are signing documents for a loan modification or a new loan to pay off their old mortgage. Only later do they realize they have actually transferred ownership to someone who is now trying to evict them.
Finally, if you believe you have been the victim of a foreclosure scam, report it to the California Attorney General's Office, the Federal Trade Commission, or to the California Department of Real Estate or California Bar Association if your complaint involves a real estate broker or attorney. If the amount you've lost is less than $10,000, you can file an action in Small Claims Court.
Mortgage foreclosure fraud can be prevented with awareness, education, and enforcement – and an occasional reminder that if the solution to your problem sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
Have a great week!
Diane Gallagher is the president of the Lodi Association of Realtors. She can be reased at firstname.lastname@example.com

A 24-YEAR-OLD man was treated by ambulance crews in Burford this afternoon after a crash just after midday in Burford High Street.
The incident involved a motorcycle and a lorry and took place just before the A40 at Barns Lane, near Burford Golf Club.
An ambulance was sent to the scene and the 24-year-old was checked over by paramedics but did not need hospital treatment.
Traffic is still reportedly moving slowly in the road.

Walcott says middle school in CPE's future
Center Park East parents lost their battle to open a middle school in 2013 but say they're heartened by Chancellor Walcott's promise to work with them to find space for a CPE middle school that will open by 2014.
It's no surprise that all of the DOE's proposals were passed at the March 20PEP meeting, including a resolution to open East Harlem Scholars Academy II in the same buliding as Central Park East I and Central Park East High School. CPE parents had hoped to nab that soon-to-be-open space for a CPE middle school that would allow their elementary school children to continue to receive a progressive education after 5th grade. This is the fifth year in a row that the DOE rebuffed efforts by CPE I and CPE II to open a middle school. But uptown parents won't have to wait much longer for a progressive middle school.
Raven Snook, the mother of a CPE II student, told Insideschools that Walcott made a promise at the PEP meeting to find a site for the progressive middle school by this summer and open the school in fall 2014.
"While we were all disappointed that the March 20 PEP vote didn't go our way in terms of the co-location of two East Harlem Scholars Academy schools, we were all pretty thrilled when Dennis Walcott himself stood on the stage and promised we would indeed get a progressive middle school for fall 2014," said Snook. "So it was a bittersweet victory."
Education Department spokesman Devon Puglia confirmed Walcott's promise via email: "There will be middle school CPE seats available in 2014. We're continuing to engage with stakeholders in order to meet that goal."

It is possible to operate UltraVolt high voltage power supplies in parallel. The method for paralleling two voltage sources depends on the requirements of the application. In this Application Note, we will consider two distinct cases.
In the first case - a capacitor charging system - the power supplies operate as current sources during the charge cycle and switch to voltage regulation only when the capacitor voltage reaches its maximum level. At that time, the power supply sources nearly no current and maintains the capacitor voltage until the next charge cycle begins.
In the second case, we want to operate the power supplies in parallel continuously to achieve twice the power capability of a single power supply. Here, the two power supplies should behave as a single power supply at nearly twice the current capacity. There are two ways we can accomplish this: one way is with standard UltraVolt power supplies; the second is using the I5 or I10 option. Fig. 2 shows a technique using standard units while Fig. 3 shows how to parallel two (or more) units using the enhanced interface.
Capacitor Charging:
In Fig. 1, the two UltraVolt high-voltage power supplies (HVPSs) have the control pins tied together, providing a single control interface. While charging the capacitor, the HVPSs will be in current limit, allowing the power supplies to operate in parallel well. The power supplies will remain in current limit until the voltage set point is reached, at which time the voltage control loop will take over and maintain the capacitor voltage and the power delivered will drop to zero. The isolation diodes on the output are optional, but will provide some protection in the case of redundant systems.
Parallel Operation Method 1:
In this configuration (Fig. 2), we want the two power supplies to run continuously in voltage control as a single power supply. The sharing resistors used to sum the outputs help to this end. The closer the two output voltages are to each other the better the sharing will be. This technique works best with two identical power supplies; using dissimilar power supplies is not recommended. Sharing can be improved with the addition of the potentiometer on the voltage control signal and a simple setup procedure.
The 25kΩ potentiometer works against the input impedance of 1.1MegΩ on the remote adjust pin, forming a voltage divider. This gives an adjustment range of about ±2.2% between the two units. A simple setup procedure should be done with the output of the system loaded. The potentiometer is turned until the meter between the two current monitor pins reads zero; this indicates the two power supplies are sourcing equal currents and the system is balanced. This setup procedure should be done with the system at full load and at output voltages closer to maximum to achieve the best results.
Selection of the output resistors depends on a number of competing factors. As the resistor value is increased, the load sharing improves and the voltage balance becomes less critical – but these benefits come at the expense of higher power loss. For example, if we use two 10A24-P30 power supplies with a maximum output current of 3mA each with 2W balancing resistors running at half their power rating, we have 111kΩ. Rounding the resistance to a standard value of 100kΩ we lose 300 volts across the resistor and approximately 1 watt at full load current. If this is an unacceptably large voltage regulation error, then smaller resistors can be used and more care should be applied to the balancing setup.
Parallel Operation Method 2:
This configuration (Fig. 3) depends on some of the features in the I5 and I10 interface. The first power supply in Figure 3 is the 'Master'; the second and any additional supplies are slave supplies. The interface for the entire system is still an I5 or I10 interface. The Master supply will operate in either voltage control or current control, depending on operating conditions, just as a single supply would work. The slave supply will always operate in current regulation. Load sharing is forced by using the current monitor of the Master to drive the current programming on the slave supply, thereby ensuring both units will source equal current. The voltage programming of the slave supply
should be tied to the voltage reference and not left floating.
Since the two outputs are brought together and out to the load, both units will be operating at the same output voltage by definition. By joining the enable, power, and grounds together the rest of the interface is configured. The system will operate as a single power supply with a power rating of twice a single supply. The voltage monitor of the master represents the output voltage of the system. The current monitor of the master will represent twice the current of a single supply, which is the output current of the system.

Books on animal behaviour and culture
Hi all. I'm currently doing an extended project essay on culture in animals, so basically things animals learn from each other, and looking at how dolphins have developed different hunting strategies as well as other examples. I'm looking for any books which could help me with this? So has any one got any recommendations for books on animal behaviour, or anything more specific to socially learnt behaviour or culture (or any specific to certain animals)?
Thanks very much!

CHICAGO, Dec. 1, 2009 — Today the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) conferred its highest honor, the Gold Medal, upon Gary M. Glazer, M.D., of Stanford, Calif.; Brian C. Lentle, M.D., of Vancouver, B.C.; and David C. Levin, M.D., of Philadelphia, Pa.
In a tradition that originated in 1919, Gold Medals are presented each year to individuals who have rendered exemplary service to the science of radiology and who have received unanimous approval by the RSNA Board of Directors.
Gary M. Glazer, M.D., is a diagnostic radiologist at the helm of cancer staging breakthroughs, working to bring radiologists front and center in the professional and public consciousness.
"Through his dedication to bringing radiology into the molecular age, his vision and personal charm, Dr. Glazer has reawakened the sleeping giant of Stanford radiology," said 2009 RSNA President Gary J. Becker, M.D.
"The Gold Medal means so much to me because radiology has been a large part of my life," Dr. Glazer said. "It brings me great joy to receive the Gold Medal. I feel that I share this honor with my role models and mentors, as well as colleagues, who have guided me along the way."
Dr. Glazer has been an RSNA member since 1982. In addition, he was awarded honorary membership in the German and Japanese radiological societies. He has served as a consultant to the National Institutes of Health Task Force for the Imaging Sciences and the National Institute for Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering. He has also served on dozens of medical committees, including RSNA's Research Development Committee, the American Roentgen Ray Society's Committee on Research and Education, and the Conjoint Committee on Diagnostic Radiology (comprising the American College of Radiology, Association of University Radiologists and Society of Chairs of Academic Radiology Departments). He is past president and continues to serve on the executive board of the International Society of Strategic Studies in Radiology (ISSSR).
A Phi Beta Kappa graduate in cellular biology from the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, Dr. Glazer received his medical degree in 1976 from Case Western Reserve University Medical School in Cleveland. He completed an internship in internal medicine, a diagnostic radiology residency and a fellowship in body CT and ultrasonography at the University of California, San Francisco.
In 1981, Dr. Glazer returned to his alma mater at Ann Arbor. He ascended the ranks, advancing in six years to full professorship in the university's radiology department and cancer center and serving as director of the Body Computed Tomography and Magnetic Resonance Imaging divisions. In 1989, Dr. Glazer assumed his current role as the Emma Pfeiffer Merner Professor in the Medical Sciences and chair of the Department of Radiology at Stanford University School of Medicine in California.
Brian C. Lentle, M.D., has dedicated his career to supporting education for the next generation of radiologists and building domestic and international relationships to promote radiology on a global scale.
"I had the distinct pleasure of serving three of my eight years on the RSNA Board alongside Dr. Lentle, who graced our meetings with his wisdom and wit, and who reliably demonstrated by example what thoughtful stewardship is all about," said 2009 RSNA President Gary J. Becker, M.D.
"RSNA has given me immeasurably more than I might ever contribute," Dr. Lentle said. "The Gold Medal is an honor not so much about me as it is something I am proud to share with my wife and fellow Canadians."
An RSNA member since 1993, Dr. Lentle served as liaison for education on the RSNA Board of Directors, as a member of the FutuRAD Committee and as RSNA 2004 president, when he developed the annual meeting theme, Radiology's Global Forum, and titled his president's address, "Radiology: Beyond Borders." He is also a past president of the Canadian Association of Radiologists and the Pacific Northwest Radiological Society. He is currently a member of the International Society of Clinical Densitometry's Board of Directors and chair of the Bone Mineral Densitometry Facility Accreditation Committee for the Ontario Association of Radiologists. He earned specialty qualifications in radiology and nuclear medicine from the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons in Canada and is an American College of Radiology fellow. He holds honorary memberships in the Toronto Radiology Society, the American Association of Physicists in Medicine and the European Society of Radiology.
He served as chair of the Canadian Atomic Energy Control Board Advisory Committee on Radiology Protection when the seminal International Commission on Radiological Protection recommendations on radiation protection were introduced.
Dr. Lentle earned his bachelor's degree in medicine (M.B.Ch.B.) in 1959 from the Welsh National School of Medicine in Cardiff, Wales. He then went on to complete his medical degree at the school now known as the University of Wales College of Medicine.
Dr. Lentle is a professor emeritus and former head of the Department of Radiology at the University of British Columbia (UBC) in Vancouver, a position he held from 1991 to 2000. From 1986 to 1991, he served as part-time professor in the Department of Radiology at UBC, as head of the Division of Nuclear Medicine and as director of the Division of Nuclear Medicine at Vancouver Hospital and Health Sciences Centre. Prior to moving to Vancouver, Dr. Lentle was a professor of radiology at the University of Alberta and director of the Department of Nuclear Medicine at Cross Cancer Institute in Edmonton.
Retired from clinical practice in 2008, Dr. Lentle currently serves as a radiologist for the Canadian Multicentre Osteoporosis Study and the Steroid-induced Osteoporosis in a Pediatric Population Canadian Incidence Study.
An expert in vascular imaging and interventions, David C. Levin, M.D., is both a prolific researcher and devoted protector of radiology.
"Dr. Levin is an enthusiastic teacher, researcher and practitioner of cardiovascular and interventional radiology," said 2009 RSNA President Gary J. Becker, M.D. "I first encountered Dr. Levin when I was a resident in the late 1970s, attending his RSNA refresher course on coronary arteriography. Now, more than 30 years later, I feel fortunate to call him a career-long colleague and friend."
"It is a thrill and honor to receive the Gold Medal," Dr. Levin said. "RSNA is the premier radiology organization when it comes to research and the education of its members. I give my sincere thanks to the Society and all its members."
Dr. Levin has been a member of the Association of University Radiologists executive committee, 1995-1996 president of the Society of Chairs of Academic Radiology Departments (SCARD), and 1989-1991 chair of the American Heart Association's Council on Cardiovascular Radiology. An RSNA member since 1974, he served as RSNA's third vice president in 1996, as chair of RSNA's Health Policy and Practice Committee, on the cardiovascular subcommittee of the Scientific Program Committee and on the Health Policy and Practice section of the Refresher Course Committee. From 1987 to 2002, he was a scientific advisor to the RSNA Research & Education Foundation.
In 2008, the endowed David C. Levin Professorship and Chair of Radiology was established in his honor at Thomas Jefferson University. Dr. Levin currently serves on several American College of Radiology committees, is a member of the Medicare Coverage Advisory Committee and co-chairs the Expert Panel on Outpatient Imaging Efficiency for the National Quality Forum.
Dr. Levin served as a jet fighter pilot in the U.S. Air Force before going on to receive his medical degree from The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine in Baltimore. He then completed a surgical internship and a radiology residency at the University of California, Los Angeles Medical Center.
From 1969 to 1973, Dr. Levin was an assistant professor of radiology at Cornell Medical College in New York City. His subsequent faculty appointments were as associate professor of radiology at State University of New York Downstate Medical Center and associate professor of radiology at Harvard Medical School in Boston, where he was co-director of the cardiac cath lab and interventional radiology at Brigham and Women's Hospital. He became full professor at Harvard in 1981 and acting chair of the Brigham radiology department in 1985. In 1986, he was appointed to his current position of professor at Jefferson Medical College and Thomas Jefferson University. That same year, he was named chair of the Department of Radiology and now holds the title of chair emeritus of the department.

Xuedi Chen and Pedro Oliveira's 3D printed bustier changes from opaque to transparent as you share more data online. On Cnet:
To achieve the "now you see it, now you don't" effect of the dress, Chen first created a mobile app using Node.js and PhoneGap to track her data trail over about a month's time. This resulted in a set of information that she translated into the dress' design, which was created using Rhino and output through a 3D printer. She then embedded the changeable panels into the black webbing.
"The panels are made of smart film, or electrochromic film," Chen told Crave. "It's used most commonly for privacy glass. "The film is opaque when off, and running a specific amount of electricity through it 'switches' it to transparent in microseconds."

January 5th, 2008
I've had some problems for a couple of weeks now. They're very confusing symptoms and I don't know what to do. I saw my doctor already, and he said it's a viral thing that will resolve itself, but I'm kind of worried.
-It started with my eyes getting red with crusties in the morning. Nothing else wrong with my eyes other than that.
-I started having a constant headache for a day or two. I then realized that it wasn't a "conventional" headache, but I could pinpoint the source to pressure from my sinus area behind my nose. I do not have any problems breathing at all though. It doesn't feel like I'm stuffed up at all other than the feeling of pressure.
-My jaw is sore when I press on it. It's the part underneath my ears, and they hurt on both sides.
-My throat is swollen. I have no problems swallowing, as I seem to be able to consciously control it. However, when I relax my throat, it naturally closes up almost to the point where I have problems breathing. From the outside, looking at my neck, it doesn't seem swollen though.
-When I open up my jaw or move it side to side, I can hear this sort of squishy fluid sound.
I don't have any fever or cough or sore throat. My energy level seems normal, except for my anxiety level being up there because I'm worried that something's wrong, and plus the constant headache is a vigilant reminder.
Anyone have any ideas of what's going on? I can't seem to find anything online that suggests one thing or the other. I would have a symptom of one thing, but I wouldn't have any other related symptoms. Like, is it possible for me to have a viral infection if I don't have a fever or cough or sore throat? Could it be an allergic reaction if it is lasting for so long (2 weeks now).
Thanks, any help is appreciated.

Maybe your body is fighting off a viral infection. I'd have to agree with your doctor, as swollen lymph nodes can cause many of the symptoms that you describe. How are you feeling now?

A lot of my symptoms have calmed down now, but still present. I still have all the symptoms, but they have become mild.
The most prominent symptoms I have right now are the sinus (feels like behind the eyes or forehead area) and the red eyes. I don't understand this sinus symptom though. I can feel that something is inflamed in there, but there is very little mucus produced. I can breathe perfectly normal too.
And my red eyes don't seem to go away at all. They have been persistently red like this for over a month now.
I'm wondering if I maybe developed some sort of allergy in my early-mid life. Is it strange at all for someone who's had no history of allergies whatsoever to suddenly develop it?

No, it does sound like a chronic and persistnet sinus infection. You should probably get antibiotics now as an ongoing infection can lead to an abscess and that, I can assure you, is no joke!
You do not need to feel congested to have sinusitis. I have sinusitis and I never produce mucous other than the occasional post-nasal drip. This is because my sinuses are completely blocked! The feeling of pressure and the headache emanating from the face is usually enough to diagnose it but you should probably get an x-ray to see what is going on there.

Gordon, it sounds like you're suffering from a TMJ disorder. Do you clench or grind your teeth often? The soreness in your jaw near your ears indicates you probably do and this can stress other muscles in your face. It can even mimic sinus pressure.

hank777 asks a good question. Are you clenching your teeth at night? A lot of TMD victims don't realize that they are clenching at night, because they don't do it during the day.

And chance that you have developed wisdom teeth? I found this on google while searching my own symptoms.
My eyes have been red for days out of no where and started to get real crusty in the morning and I've developed some sinus pressure that wont fade.
Anyhow, I also have pain in the right side back of my jaw where my one of my wisdom tooth is growing (i'm 19) and also the right side of my throat immediately behind the tooth is sore.
