Ofcourse this would totally depend on the game, but overall I was wondering what the best way to do this would be. Perhaps packets? I don't know. I'm at a loss.

Where's the Offense?
The Tennessee Titans have been winning this season. It just hasn't been very a pretty process lately.
The Titans look to improve their anemic offense and keep rolling Sunday when they host the Carolina Panthers.
Oddsmakers from Bodog.com have made Tennessee -4 point spread favorites (View NFL Football odds) for Sunday's game, the over/under has been set at 35.5 total points (Game Matchup). Current public betting information shows that 67% of bets for this game have been placed on Tennessee -4 (View NFL Football bet percentages).
Tennessee (5-2) is off to its best start since opening 9-2 in 2003, the last season it reached the playoffs. The Titans started 0-5 last year before rallying to win six of their last seven games and finish 8-8.
While the team seems to have carried over its momentum from the second half of last season, its offense has stagnated. The Titans have scored just five offensive touchdowns over the past four games, but have won three, thanks to 13 field goals on 14 chances from Rob Bironas.
Tennessee's passing game has been the biggest culprit. The Titans haven't scored a touchdown through the air since Sept. 24 in a 31-14 win at New Orleans and rank 29th in the NFL with 156.7 passing yards per game.
Vince Young is coming off his worst game as a starter, having completed only six of 14 passes for 42 yards in Sunday's 13-9 win over Oakland. The 2006 NFL offensive rookie of the year started after sitting out the previous week with a strained right quadriceps muscle.
Tennessee's defense came through a week after giving up 29 fourth-quarter points in a 38-36 victory at Houston, getting five sacks and two turnovers against the Raiders.
"We want wins," defensive end Antwan Odom said. "We want W's. That's all we care about. This win was a team effort. The defense won't play every game like we did (Sunday), so the offense has to step it up. We win and lose as a team. We have to get after everybody we play."
Tennessee has been much better at running the ball than throwing it, gaining 150.9 yards per game on the ground, good for third in the league. LenDale White rushed for a career-best 133 yards on 25 carries against the Raiders.
Still, the Titans have reached the end zone in just 32.1 percent of their red-zone opportunities, ranking them 27th in the NFL. Their 13 touchdowns overall tie them for 24th in the league.
"When you run the football for nearly 200 yards against a defense like theirs that is playing eight- or nine-man fronts, and they say `No you can't,' and you say `Yes, I can,' and you do it, that is how you win football games," coach Jeff Fisher said. "We're not happy with the lack of points and the lack of touchdowns, but we definitely had some opportunities (Sunday) and couldn't take advantage of them."
Young has thrown just three touchdown passes this season and six interceptions. He could have a chance to improve his numbers against the Panthers, who have just five interceptions and are allowing 313.9 passing yards a game, fifth most in the NFC.
Carolina (4-3) has its own issues in the passing game thanks to a string of injuries at quarterback. Vinny Testaverde, who led the Panthers to a 25-10 win at Arizona on Oct. 14 four days after signing with them, aggravated an Achilles' tendon injury in Sunday's 31-7 loss to Indianapolis and was replaced by David Carr.
Carr took over as the No. 1 QB after Jake Delhomme was lost for the season in Week 3 with a right elbow injury that required ligament replacement surgery, but he's been dealing with compression fractures in his lower back. Saying he was only at 80 percent, Carr threw for 103 yards against the Colts, but the Panthers were outscored 21-0 in the second half.
The 43-year-old Testaverde missed practice Wednesday, making Carr the front-runner to start Sunday. Carr, acquired in an offseason trade with Houston, is 2-8 against the Titans.
"He was well enough to play last week. There aren't a lot of players out there that are 100 percent at this stage of the season," coach John Fox said of Carr. "He looked sharp in practice today. He had a good day of preparation both in the classroom and out on the field."
Receiver Steve Smith was held to two catches for 18 yards last week, all on Carolina's first drive, and was seen screaming at Carr on the sidelines late in the game.
Smith had 2,729 receiving yards and 20 touchdown catches in his previous two seasons, but has been held to 50 or fewer receiving yards in four games this year.
"I'm trying to get him the football. And he's not necessarily concerned about himself getting the football," Carr said. "He just wants our team to be better. I just went up to him and said, 'If there's anything I can do that you see from the wide receiver position that can make us a better team, then let me know.'
"We just got talking because we're too old to keep secrets from each other. And he's not like that at all. He'll tell you straight up."
DeShaun Foster ran for just 62 yards and a touchdown on 19 carries Sunday, and will be up against the NFL's stingiest run defense this week. Tennessee is allowing 64.3 rushing yards per game.
The Panthers fell to 0-3 at home last week but are undefeated on the road.
Carolina and the Tennessee franchise are meeting for just the third time and first since 2003. Carolina beat the Houston Oilers 31-6 on the road in 1996 but lost 37-17 at home to the Titans in 2003.

Discussion in 'Strings' started by silent189, Apr 17, 2008.
I want more power in it and more durable because i stringing it at the main string
Most powerful copolys currently available that TW sells = Topspin CyberPower, Unique Big Hitter Blue, WeissCannon Scorpion.
luxilon big banger but watch it it might not be for you
If you want power, you may be barking up the wrong tree with polyester.
Have you thought about using a multifilament string, i.e. Technifibre NRG2 or Prince Synthetic Gut Multifilament?
I recommend natural gut.
i concurr. with todays manufacture standards, gut is more durable then ever before. i was always hesitate about giving gut a try. but i couldnt resist. i will never go back to multi's ever again!
lol i gotta get me some of that GUT ....check out my new reels I added TennisNewbie
Requesting a power poly is an odd thing to do. If you insist on poly and then you want the most powerful, okay.
But if you want power, why go with poly?
If you want power than natural gut is good...however Cyberpower 1.20 does have a load of power for a poly string!

Keeping with an oft-heard criticism of the Jason Garrett-era Dallas Cowboys, legendary defensive end Ed "Too Tall" Jones sees a lack of leadership in the locker room and he believes the team has been suffering as a result of it.
In a radio interview last week, Jones was asked the main difference between these Cowboys, and the teams he played with in the 1970s and 80s.
"Probably leadership," Jones said, via the Dallas Morning News. "When I walked into Dallas I walked into a very good situation. At that time Dallas was considered to have one of the best organizations not only in football but in all of sports.
"We had a lot of great leaders not only vocal but leading by example. Guys like Staubach and Calvin Hill guys who were the first players on the field, last players to leave. That was a good example for a lot of the young players. Without leadership, I don't care what you're doing, whether it's business or sports, you're not going anywhere without good leadership. I think Dallas is still searching for it."

Loudoun South's strong run in state tournament ends
For five innings, the Loudoun South All Stars and the Green Run All Stars were neck and neck in the Virginia State 9-10 Baseball Tournament quarterfinals July 23 at Greg Crittenden Memorial Park in Ashburn.
Neither team could best the others' potent defense to score a run until the top of the sixth inning when Loudoun South broke through. Devon Zavacky singled and advanced to second on a wild pitch before being plated by Danny Dornan's double.
But Green Run's offense also awoke, scoring two runs in the bottom of the sixth off a double and subsequent triple, ending Loudoun South's tournament run.
"They came to play every time," Loudoun South coach Bob Hoenig said of his team's tournament performance. "We just fell a little short today."
Loudoun South dominated pool play in the 16-team tournament. The "Mean Machine" went 3-0 to start the tournament, including double-digit victories against Mechanicsville National and King William.
"In a state tournament like this, we're not familiar with the other teams," Hoenig said. "We just have to come out and do what we do best: throw strikes, hit the ball and catch the ball."
While the Mean Machine threw strikes and caught the ball, the boys struggled to get their bats going, as both they and Green Run were held to five hits in the quarterfinal game. Dornan led Loudoun South offensively, going 3 for 3 to earn more than half of the Mean Machine's hits.
Pitching duties in the game were divided among Brandon Egress, Zach Hoenig and Zavacky, who closed out the game for Loudoun South. Egress and Zavacky combined for seven total strikeouts.
Loudoun South reached the Virginia State 9-10 Tournament after winning the District 16 title. District 16 hosted the tournament this summer.
The players had some consolation. As they exited the field, many with tears in their eyes, one father told his son as they both walked to the car, "You were still the best team in Loudoun this year. And that ain't bad."
Loudoun South (3-1)
July 20: Loudoun South 13, King William 0
July 21: Loudoun South 13, Mechanicsville National 3
July 22: Loudoun South 7, Bristol 3
July 23: Green Run 2, Loudoun South 1

The value of extra curricular activities
By Fred Sailer
Activities Director
Perham-Dent Public Schools
Perham - Dent Public Schools was selected as the top public school in the MN Challenge Cup list for 2007-2008. Success like that is no accident. Yet all citizens deserve to ask questions about and get answers regarding, "The Value of School Activities"
Perham-Dent Public Schools offers a wide variety of co-curricular activities for students in grades 5-12. People are often passionate about these programs because it involves our community's greatest resource, our youth. These programs often become part of our identity and culture, as a result people want to know how programs operate, our philosophy, and ask questions as to how we arrive at certain decisions. The following are some often asked questions about the Activities Department:
Who pays when teams
travel over-night?
If it is a non-qualifying MSHSL (Minnesota State High School League) event students must pay for lodging and meals; Department pays for travel. Often times our teams (speech, track, wrestling, gymnastics, golf, basketball, etc.) will ask to participate in a tournament that features better competition or a change in the normal schools we face. If that is the case I will make sure that we have room on our schedule and accommodations are secured before we schedule transportation.
If the team or group has earned the opportunity to compete in a qualifying event (MSHSL) then the district pays for official squad members to attend; that means travel, meals, and lodging. We do not exceed the meal allowance and often times work with local grocers to secure great rates to transport food with team; when we do this it allows for healthy food, ease in scheduling of team, and of course it's cheaper. We book four students to a room.
Occasionally a coach/director will ask to take some non-qualifying students to a section or state trip. If approved, those students pay their own way; they do not go at the expense of the school district.
Some of our activities require significant travel even at the section level. Examples include section girls swimming at Warroad, section baseball at Roseau, section mock trial at Dawson, section boys swimming at Hutchinson, and section girls' tennis at Grand Forks. Since they are qualifying events we cover the costs. When considering the addition of new activities we all need to consider travel.
If teams travel over three hours one way for an event we often schedule a motor coach instead of a school bus. If you see or hear of a motor coach on a shorter trip that means the team has agreed to pay the difference with funds they or a booster club have raised.
The MSHSL shares its state tournament profits with participating schools, depending on the attendance at these events, TV contracts, etc. each school typically receives a refund of 20-30 percent of its actual state tournament costs.
How do we determine coach/director to
student ratio?
Our general guideline is 15:1; it is stated in the Activity Department Handbook and for the most part is a good number.
I view wrestling, football, and gymnastics somewhat different from other athletic and fine arts activities in that risk of catastrophic injury is more common on a national level. While serious injury can occur in any activity, even when there is a healthy ratio, it is prudent on our part to provide quality supervision and instruction.
Activities such as speech and cross country lend themselves to a higher ratio because practice is easier to schedule and conduct. If you are training all of your boys to run a 3 mile race it is quite different than training and teaching 13 track and field events. This is why some activities exceed the ratio and run as high as 25:1.
Some of our activities make excellent use of volunteers. During the past year varsity football had two extra coaches; one position was volunteer and another position was shared by two individuals. Wrestling was the same, two shared one paid position and one individual volunteered his time. These people add flavor to our programs and our students benefit greatly from their efforts.
Sometimes it appears we have too many supervisors at local events, how come?
First, we seldom schedule more than two. When we do it is normally because the event is either difficult to supervise (i.e. varsity football) or because we are expecting a large, potentially unruly crowd.
Some years ago the Board of Ed. wisely added to administrator's contracts a number of "extra evening duties". As a result when you see the A.D., Superintendent, or a principal supervising an event it is at no cost to the district. This type of administrative support is rare among Minnesota schools but it allows for administrators to stay in touch with their community and their students. Typically the district saves between $5,000-7,000 annually because of administrative supervision.
At PHS normally have two supervisors for the following reasons:
Participant injury, one supervisor stays with the participant.
Fan health issues, one supervisor handles police/ambulance.
Fight or alcohol issues, one supervisor to meet with police.
Half time entertainment, one supervisor to meet and organize guests.
At tournament events hosted in Perham you will often see more than two supervisors due to the fact that we are dealing with larger, more animated crowds and if in the event that our team is not playing we are dealing with two crowds that we don't have a history with, rather than one. ISD 549 does not pay for event staff at qualifying tournament events, costs are paid by the section committee from gate profits.
How much do we pay for supervision when it is not one of our administrators? We pay at two rates: 1) $50.00 for the lead supervisor, this person is responsible for cash boxes and depositing money at the bank after each event. He or she arrive at 5 p.m. for a 6 p.m. game start time, sets up concessions, ticket takers, and then monitors game events. At the conclusion of the evening they stay until the last student and/or fan is gone, deposit the money and are usually done for the night at 9:30-10PM; for this they are paid $50.00 or approximately $10.00/hour. 2) Our second supervisor arrives at game time and stays until the end of the contest or until any concern over poor behavior has departed the property. For this they receive $40.00 if they are not a school administrator.
For the past two years the MSHSL has required that a school representative attend qualifying tournament events when their respective team travels. Thus, when our teams travel, you will typically see the A.D. in attendance and he is responsible for the behavior of the team and crowd.
What is the school budget for uniforms?
Good question! Since our fine arts and academic co-curricular programs do not require uniforms this is an athletic question. For the past 10 years our budget for athletic uniforms has been $5,000 per year; we currently sponsor 20 athletic programs for grades 7-12. Obviously we can not put uniforms on 500 students for $10.00 per year so we supplement the budget by:
By establishing a uniform rotation of every 5 years
Pass down uniforms to JV, C squad, and finally junior high teams
Share costs with booster clubs and private individuals; examples of this are a private individual donating $600 towards wrestling singlets, girls swimming booster club paying for one-third of the cost for 24 swim parkas, or boys basketball using money they raise from their spring fling to buy new travel uniforms.
What is the annual budget
for equipment?
Our budget number ten years ago was $12,000 per year for the Activities Department; it was dropped to $10,500 two years ago. Most of our purchases are safety related such as the National Federation of High Schools requiring changes in the design of gymnastics vaulting tables or the projected purchase of new hurdles to replace the ones bought new in 1963. So how do we stretch these funds to keep our children safe? Often times we seek community support through advertising; an example of this would be the new score boards going up this fall at the gymnasium, two local companies donated $5,000 each and for that we will print their name on the board for the life for the equipment. Our hurdle project may require that we paint the name of individuals or companies on the face of the hurdle.
Fortunately, we live in a supportive community. It is estimated that the new concession/press box/bathroom facility at Matt's Field would have cost an estimated $50,000 if we would have built it with district funds. Instead local contractors built the facility at no cost to the district (the only exception being grass seed!). Irrigation for our physical education and athletic fields was installed with funds from charitable gaming; we will begin tackle football for 5 and 6th graders this fall and the greater community donated $8,050 to purchase equipment, the list goes on and on.
How many staff is required to manage the activities department?
Currently the Activities Department has one full time person, our secretary, Janet Seifert. Fred Sailer is the Activities Director and has been in that position for the past 10 years. His salary is split four ways since he also serves as the District's Director of Buildings and Grounds, Area Learning Center Director, and as of this summer Community Education Director.
With growing concern over the District's Fund balance how can we continue
to spend $539, 000 on
co-curricular activities?
When we take into account that our activity department generates between $85,000-$95,000 per year in activity fees and gate fees we reduce that cost to approximately $450,000 per year or about 2% of our annual budget. A local study conducted in May of '07 found that it costs approximately $250.00 to equip, provide instruction, overhead, and travel per athlete in grades 5-12. Given the fact that a new football helmet costs $149.00 it is remarkable that we can offer athletics at such a bargain. If we consider all activities (fine arts and academic co-curricular) the cost per participant is much lower.
Since each high school student generates approximately $7,000 for the district to educate if we were to drop swimming, cross country, speech, mock trial, or any other opportunity and as a result lose 1-2 students the cut would have been for naught.
For the past 4-5 years our programs have enjoyed wonderful success; from FFA to Knowledge Bowl, from golf to gymnastics. If we were having this type of success but experiencing low participation I would question the value of success for a few, but that is not the case, we have maintained excellent numbers even though class size is beginning to drop.
Students participate for any number of valid reasons; some simply want to belong, others are in search of a college education, most enjoy the regimen it requires to participate; whatever the reason, school activities keep kids off the streets, in positive environments and provides the rest of us with a quality of life that a small town thrives upon. When we value excellence in all areas of student life; the classroom, fine arts, and athletics then when have provided our children with the tools they need to be successful in life. We all need to be champions for our kids whatever their dream; when we applaud the soloist, the left fielder, honor student, or Mock Trial's defense attorney we applaud all students.
I'd like to thank you for taking the time to read this article and thank you to all who support programs for kids.

Held at the new Vans Skate Park in Orange, California, Caz Helmstetter of Portland, Oregon and David Bodnar of Melbourne, Australia took home the street and vert titles. Each winner is awarded a one-year pro contract from Vans, a place as a demo skater on the 1999 Vans Warped tour and financial support on the pro-circuit, allowing them their first opportunity to tour as a professional skater.
"It was the competition of a lifetime" said Caz Helmstetter after his street contest win. "I like the skate park and the competition, but it's a definite change from Burnside, my hometown skate park. I'll work my hardest and do my best this year for Vans and I wouldn't want to ride for anyone else." Caz was able to edge out Brian Dale and Zackary Warren with tricks such as his kickflip over the quarter pipe gap and his ollie over the vert ramp handrail onto the street course.
In the vert competition, David Bodnar was able to defeat Greg Hiler and Dave "Science" Maxwell landing tricks like his nollie backside disaster and heelflip indy. "It's unbelievable that Vans pays to send all these athletes here for this contest" says Bodnar. "I'm pleased that Vans makes money from the sport and then puts it right back in. I can't wait to start the Warped Tour and pro-circuit in order to skate with other pros."
For the third year in a row, Vans has spanned the globe hosting qualification rounds in search of the best amateur vert and street skateboarders in the world. Each skater that qualified then competed in the semi-final rounds which were held at select stops of the Vans Warped Tour `98. The first-place winners from each semi-final contest then received an all expense-paid trip to California to compete in the 1998 Vans Amateur World Championships of Skateboarding.
"The Vans Amateur World Championships held this weekend was the first event at the new Vans Skate Park and it couldn't have gone any better" says Steve Van Doren, Vans' vice-president of promotions. "We've had a tremendous response from the Vans Amateur Series and the interest continues to grow. The amateurs that came here are the skateboarding pros of tomorrow."
Over 3,000 spectators and members of the media witnessed all the action throughout the course of the weekend. Along with Vans, tour sponsors G-Shock and Mountain Dew were on hand to give away posters and stickers to the crowd. In addition, spectators were treated to demonstrations by Vans pro skaters such as Omar Hassan, Peter Hewitt, and previous Vans Amateur World Champion Pierre-Luc Gagnon.
Last years winners in the vert and street competitions were Billy Rohan from Gainesville, Florida, and John Muldoon from Minneapolis, Minnesota. Many skaters that competed in previous Vans Amateur World Championships have gone on to become top pro athletes including Giorgio Zattoni, Pierre-Luc Gagnon and Brent Kronmueller.

Component/s: Network Client, Network Server
Bug behavior facts:Performance
Java 5 introduced some new static factory methods (called valueOf()) in the Number sub-classes, to be used in preference of the constructors unless a fresh instance is required. The valueOf() methods are allowed to cache and reuse objects, possibly reducing the allocation/gc cost and the memory footprint. For example, Integer.valueOf(int) uses a pre-allocated cache for values between -128 and +127 by default (the cache size can be tuned with JVM flags).
Now that the server and client code is compiled against Java 5 libraries, we should use the valueOf() methods to get those benefits. Note also that Java 5 auto-boxing of numbers uses these methods implicitly, so in many cases we can just remove the calls to the constructor and the compiler will automatically insert the calls for us.

The 2a patch makes CrossConverters and Cursor use BigDecimal.valueOf(double) when converting a double to a BigDecimal. It also makes Decimal and DDMReader use BigDecimal.valueOf(double,int) when parsing a BigDecimal with precision up to 18 sent over the wire.
All the regression tests passed.
In the first patch, I forgot about the BigDecimal and BigInteger classes, which are also sub-classes of Number. I see that Java 5 introduced the following valueOf() factory methods for BigDecimal that we could use:
- valueOf(double) - replaces the "new BigDecimal(Double.toString(<double>))" idiom used to convert a double to BigDecimal without changing the precision
- valueOf(long, int) - could be used to create a BigDecimal value directly instead of going via a BigInteger and/or byte[], if the unscaled value is known to fit in a long
Will post a followup patch.
The attached patch replaces all calls to constructors for classes in the java.lang.Number class hierarchy or java.lang.Boolean with static factory methods, or with auto-boxing where that's possible and more convenient, in the client and drda code trees.
All the regression tests passed with the patch.

Stater Bros. has announced that VP of real estate Mike Slaton passed away suddenly on Sept. 28. He was 51 years old.
As a tribute to Slaton, the 44,000-sq.-ft. Stater Bros. supermarket that opened recently in Redlands, Calif., will be dedicated in his honor.
"Mike was a very loyal and committed member of the Stater Bros. Family and started his career with Stater Bros. as a Courtesy Clerk in Redlands, Calif., when he was 16 years old. His contributions to our company were immeasurable and he will be deeply missed by all who knew him," stated chairman and CEO Jack H. Brown.
The family has requested donations in Slaton's honor be made to Stater Bros. Charities and a scholarship fund will be set up in his name at California State University, San Bernardino — his alma mater. The company asks that checks be addressed to Stater Bros. Charities, P.O. Box 150, San Bernardino, California 92402.
Stater Bros. is the largest privately owned supermarket chain in Southern California and the largest private employer in both San Bernardino County and Riverside County, with annual sales in 2012 of $3.9 billion. The company currently operates 166 supermarkets.

Thank you for requesting a book match. You said that you enjoyed House of Hope Series: Where Do I Go by Neta Jackson and wanted something like it. Here are some other titles that you may enjoy.
Elevator by Angela Hunt
In the path of a devastating hurricane, three very different women find themselves trapped in the elevator of a high-rise office building. All three conceal shattering secrets--unaware that their secrets center on the same man. The betrayed wife, eager to confront her faithless husband, with rage in her heart and a gun in her pocket... The determined mistress, finally ready to tell her lover she wants marriage and a family& The fugitive cleaning woman, tormented by the darkest secret of all... As the storm rages ever closer, these three must unite to fight for their lives in the greatest test of courage--and faith--any woman could ever face. (Catalog summary)
Oceans Apart by Karen Kingsbury
A riveting story of secret sin and the healing power of forgiveness.Airline pilot Connor Evans and his wife, Michele, seem to be the perfect couple living what looks like a perfect life. Then a plane goes down in the Pacific Ocean. One of the casualties is Kiahna Siefert, a flight attendant Connor knew well. Too well. Kiahna's will is very clear: before her seven-year-old son, Max, can be turned over to the state, he must spend the summer with the father he's never met, the father who doesn't know he exists: Connor Evans.Now will the presence of one lonely child and the truth he represents destroy Connor's family? Or is it possible that healing and hope might come in the shape of a seven-year-old boy? (Catalog summary)
Sisterchicks on the Loose by Robin Jones Gunn.
Sharon has lived calmly in Chinook Springs, Washington, her entire life.
All that changes when her best friend of twenty years, Penny, takes an impulsive trip to seek out her only living relatives in Finland -- and brings Sharon with her. The land of reindeer and saunas holds infinite varieties of zaniness for these two unlikely friends -- Sharon is a quiet mother of four and Penny was a motorcycle mama before she came to Christ -- who return home with a new view of God, a new zest for life, and a big impact on those around them for decades to come. (Product description)
Sisters, Ink by Rebeca Seitz.
Ten years after their mother's death, the multiracial, separately adopted Sinclair sisters continue to return to her converted attic scrapbooking studio in the small town of Stars Hill, Tennessee, encouraging each other through life's highs and lows. (Catalog summary)

A Democratic Strategist tells Sean Hannity that women don't need guns, we can "prevent rape by telling men not to commit it."
We should just tell everyone to stop committing crimes, huh?
This is what we get from the left. They believe that it isn't the rapists' fault. Institutions have not done their part in making rapists better. Society has failed the rapist. If only our corrupt society had done its job training and making people better, there would be no rapists.

Soil organic C content (SOC, kilograms C per square meter) and its relation to site characteristics are important in evaluating current regional, continental, and global soil C stores and projecting future changes. Data were compiled for 499 pedons in the largely forested, mountainous western Oregon region. The SOC of mineral soil ranged from 0.9 to 24 kg C m−2 (mean = 6.5) for 0- to 20-cm depth and 2.3 to 88 kg C m−2 (mean = 15.8) for 0- to 100-cm depth. Variability in each of the three terms that determine SOC − C concentration, bulk density, and rock volume - contributed substantially to SOC variation. Regression analysis of 134 forest pedons indicated that combinations of site characteristics explained up to 50% of the SOC variability. The SOC increased with annual temperature, annual precipitation, actual evapotranspiration, clay, and available water-holding capacity and decreased with slope. Relations for western Oregon differed qualitatively and quantitatively from those for other regions and contrasted with the decrease in SOC associated with increased temperature in Great Plains grasslands. Of the variability not explained by regression analysis, one-half may be due to the combined uncertainty associated with measurements of C concentrations, bulk density, and rock volume; natural within-site variability; and site-characteristic measurements. Other unexplained variability is probably due to potentially important but poorly documented site characteristics, such as recent vegetation composition, geomorphic disturbance regime, and fire history.Please view the pdf by using the Full Text (PDF) link under 'View' to the left.

Website is easy to use, the ordering process is straight forward. Can't think how the website can be improved! Goods were fine, and with 40% off the price they were good value too. Aussiebum are about half the price of Ginch Gonch (without the discount) so I'm more likely to buy from there.

LOCK or LOCKE 1700's Surrey England.
I descend from WHEELERs of Kent, England. George WHEELER married Sarah WINTER and they lived in Westerham Kent into the 1900's.
Sarah WINTER was one of the many children christened in Surrey to Harriet BRIDGLAND and William WINTER (mar. Dec. 25, 1820, Godstone, Surrey, England). Harriet's census entries give her birthplace as Godstone, and her birthdate around 1799.
A search of the IGI shows only one entry for Harriet BRIDGLAND born about 1799. It reads: "Harriet BRIDGELAND [sic], chr. 17 Aug. 1800, Horne, Surrey, England. Parents Thomas & Elizabeth BRIDGELAND" (source film # 1042203 chr. 1668-1854). Horne is a few miles from Godstone.
The parents are probably "Thomas BRIDGLAND mar. Elizabeth LOCK 25 Apr. 1798, Godstone, Surrey, England" (source film # 0991680 mar. 1768-1876).
Elizabeth appears to be the "Elizabeth LOCKE, b. 12 Oct. 1779, chr. 24 Oct. 1779, Limpsfield, Surrey, England. Parents William & Sarah LOCKE" (source film # 0097139 parish records 1539-1812).
Elizabeth's parents are probably "William LOCK mar. Sarah COOPERT, 04 Sep. 1775, Limpsfield, Surrey, England" (source film # 0097139 mar. 1540-1876).
These IGI entries are not yet confirmed.
Any other WHEELER/WINTER/BRIDGLAND/LOCKE researchers? Contact me directly at e-mail address shown by my name above. --Jane

Prime time
WHEN G. H. Hardy faced a stormy sea passage from Scandinavia to England, he took out an unusual insurance policy. Hardy scribbled a postcard to a friend with the words: "Have proved the Riemann hypothesis". God, Hardy reasoned, would not let him die in a shipwreck, because he would then be feted for solving the most famous problem in mathematics. He survived the trip.
Almost a century later, the Riemann hypothesis is still unsolved. Its glamour is unequalled because it holds the key to the primes, those mysterious numbers that underpin so much of mathematics. And now whoever cracks it will find not only glory in posterity, but a tidy reward in this life: a $1 million prize announced this April by the Clay Mathematics Institute in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
There are signs that the great prize might soon be claimed, and the most promising approaches come not from pure mathematics,

5 Years : From Nov 2012 to Nov 2017
A network of retail bank branches owned by state-backed bank Royal Bank of Scotland PLC (RBS) could be nationalized and used as a small-buiness lending bank to boost the U.K. economy, if RBS can't find a buyer for the branches, the Sunday Times reports without citing sources.
The 316 branches are back on the market nearly two years after Spanish banking giant Banco Santander SA (SAN) agreed to buy them in 2010.
Santander said in October it had pulled out of talks with RBS, citing the difficulty of separating the businesses in a way which would allow the 1.8 million customers affected to be seamlessly transferred to Santander's network.
RBS is required to sell the branches by the European Commission as a condition of its bailout by the U.K. government during the financial crisis. The U.K. government owns roughly 82% of the bank. Its unclear what will happen if RBS isn't able to find a buyer for the branches by the deadline set by the commission for it to have divested them.
People familiar with the matter have previously said Virgin Money and financial-focused private equity group J.C. Flowers & Co. LLC are considering bidding for the branches.
Spokespeople for the U.K. Treasury didn't immediately return a call seeking comment Sunday. A spokesman for RBS declined to comment.

Some years stand out in our minds, stamped into our memories by the dramatic events that unfolded during those 365 days. Maybe for you it's 1929, the year of the momentous stock market crash that kicked off the Great Depression. Or 1969, when Neil Armstrong became the first person to set foot on the moon. Or 1989, when the Berlin Wall finally came tumbling down.
The year 2008 may wind up burning just as brightly in our collective consciousness. We saw the United States elect Barack Obama, the country's first black president. We witnessed the complete unraveling of the global financial markets, and we watched food prices climb so high that eating three meals a day became a luxury that many of us couldn't afford. It was also the year in which words like "grassoline" seeped into the public lexicon and in which Google continued its bid for general world domination.
At HowStuffWorks, we're never content to watch history happen. We're bent on poking around for the reasons behind these big events. So stick with us as we answer the top 10 questions of 2008, and we'll satisfy our curiosity together.
First up, vaccines and autism.
As any new mom or dad can attest, parenthood is nerve-wracking. Before the baby is even born, the decisions start piling up, right next to that stack of unread parental literature. Breast or bottle? Homecare or daycare? Vaccinate or not? With autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) on the rise, many parents are thinking long and hard about that last one. Why? Because some people believe that vaccines are causing ASDs, and they're vocal. Whether you heard Jenny McCarthy, Hannah Poling's family or public health officials weighing in on the issue, autism was big news in 2008.
The alleged culprit? Thimerosal, a mercury-containing vaccine preservative added to shots to prevent bacterial contamination. Pressured by the public, pharmaceutical companies have lowered or removed the preservative completely from many vaccines. In fact, you might have even gotten a flu shot free of thimerosal this year. But autism rates aren't dropping. And vaccine-preventable diseases like measles are on the rise, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. It looks like being a parent didn't get any easier in 2008. But you can read more about in Do vaccines cause autism?
As of Nov. 28, 2008, 100,712 people idled on a list run by the Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network. Set up at the behest of U.S. Congress, the federal network matches up organ donors with transplant recipients. Imagine you're No. 100,711 on that list and in desperate need of a heart. Even worse, what if your number finally came up, and your body rejected that replacement heart? In 2008, scientists started to change that dire scenario with the help of stem cells.
Stems cells are the body's version of smart kids who've been told they can grow up to be whatever they want to be, except stem cells actually can. These bodily blank slates are enormously valuable and, until lately, enormously hard to get because they come armed with controversy. But researchers recently sidestepped the controversy by successfully retraining adult stem cells and skin cells to act like true stem cells, even growing heart muscle cells in one instance. The idea is that doctors eventually could extract these cells from a patient and grow them to form a full-blown, customized replacement organ. Somewhere, someone who's waiting for a heart is keeping his or her fingers crossed and maybe reading Could we clone our organs to be used in a transplant?.
Don't start hording your grass clippings just yet. Switchgrass, a promising source for making cellulosic ethanol -- a type of fuel derived from plants -- probably isn't carpeting your backyard, although the perennial is found in the Americas and parts of Africa. The tall grass looks more at home billowing in the prairie, maybe alongside a field of corn, another source of ethanol for your car. Its stature isn't the only thing that sets switchgrass apart. Its energy ratio is what gets alternative fuel proponents really excited.
Unlike corn-based ethanol or regular gas, for every one unit of energy put into cellulosic ethanol made from switchgrass, you create 10 times the energy output. Those numbers easily beat corn-based ethanol and gasoline, which takes more energy to produce than it yields.
The thing is though, scientists haven't figured out how to easily and inexpensively extract cellulose from switchgrass, and that's a big part of the process. Until that happens, you won't be gassing up with grassoline, so if you're bent on biofuel, look for the 10-90 ethanol mix at your local gas station. And before you fill up, read the full article: Grassoline: Can we fuel cars with grass?
Whether you cheered when Gov. Sarah Palin famously exclaimed, "Drill, baby, drill!" or slapped your palm to your forehead in horror, you heard a lot about offshore drilling in 2008. Even before the issues of oil and taxes dueled for time during the U.S. presidential election, drivers were emptying their wallets at the pump and wondering when gas prices would stop climbing higher (and sighing with relief when the price of oil dropped precipitously). Along with developing alternative fuel sources, lifting the ban on offshore drilling was one often-proposed solution for cutting gas prices and reducing U.S. dependence on foreign oil.
To be clear, offshore drilling, or drilling for oil underwater, is already happening on about 40 million acres of the U.S. outer continental shelf, or OCS. It's just that it's not enough, according to some. Drilling advocates are pressing to open much more of the country's protected coastline to oil exploration. Opponents are pushing back -- hard. And like any spirited argument, the two sides can't agree on anything. Not the amount of potential oil to be recovered. Not the environmental impact of offshore drilling. And not the effect it would have on prices at the pump. But make up your own mind and read Why is offshore drilling so controversial?
Like the sensations of falling that haunt our nightmares, dreams of drowning snap us awake with a shudder. But for some prisoners, there's no waking up from that unimaginably terrifying feeling of the water pulling you under. That's because water boarding is a form of torture, one that the CIA has said that it used on more than one occasion.
If you can imagine lying on an inclined board with your hands and feet bound, your face covered and water being poured repeatedly over your face, then maybe you have the slightest understanding of what this brutal interrogation technique entails.
Water boarding was one of several torture-related issues that may have prompted President Bush to assert that the United States doesn't practice torture, but the world probably thought otherwise in 2008. Maybe that's why both the Republican and Democratic candidates for the U.S. presidency pledged to shut down the detention center at Guantanamo Bay.
Even if that happens, we probably haven't heard the last of water boarding. As our article What is water boarding? points out, the technique has been around for centuries and probably will linger like a bad dream for many more.
The name CERN, shorthand for the European Organization for Nuclear Research, might not ring any bells, but the name of its biggest pet project -- the Large Hadron Collider, or LHC -- probably does. Like all of us, CERN wants to know how the universe works -- how it began, what it's made of, all that good stuff. Only instead of, say, reading books, CERN scientists study the tiniest particles in the universe. And they built the most powerful particle accelerator, the LHC, to do it.
Once the LHC starts smashing particles, potentially in 2009, scientists might uncover the hypothetical Higgs boson particle, which would explain why we have mass, or they might find evidence of strangelets, another hypothetical substance that disassembles any matter it encounters and repackages it into strange matter. That latter discovery probably isn't something most of us would celebrate. Nor would we celebrate if the LHC created a giant black hole that sucked in the Earth, but CERN scientists don't think that's likely. If that happened, maybe we'd go out with a big bang. Or, rather, a big crunch. Still curious about CERN? Read What does CERN mean for the future of the universe?
Although popular television shows such as "24" might make it look like a cakewalk, stealing an entire nuclear bomb isn't easy, even for practiced terrorists. But obtaining the parts of a nuke is a different story, and unsavory characters certainly have tried both routes. The International Atomic Energy Agency, which tracks such incidents, reported 1,340 instances involving illicit trafficking and similarly unauthorized activities occurring between 1993 and 2007. That's pretty scary.
Since a terrorist can't exactly tuck a nuclear warhead under his or her arm and hightail it for the fence, obtaining highly enriched uranium (HEU) or plutonium would be the next best thing. Such transactions happen. In 2006, authorities in Tbilisi, Georgia, arrested a group of people trying to illegally sell HEU. The obvious key to preventing these situations is securing nukes and nuclear power plants.
As more people wean themselves off fossil fuels and more nuclear power plants come online, the issue grows more urgent. You just may want to brush up on your nuclear knowledge by reading How easy is it to steal a nuclear bomb?
Whether you're trawling the Internet for information about the new World of Warcraft release or for homemade remedies for halitosis, you probably punch your query into Google's waiting hands. When the search engine returns your desired results lickety-split, you might scan the first two or three pages, check out a few sites and, satisfied, call it a day. You probably don't dwell on how or why Google returned those results to you, but anyone with a Web site does.
Appearing on the very first page of Google's search-engine results page is the Holy Grail for businesses and individuals interested in boosting their site traffic and online visibility. If you're running the Center for Breath Treatment -- an actual organization! -- you're psyched to have your site turn up on that first page when people search under "halitosis." That's why many people have spent many hours trying to decode Google's algorithm. Aside from some tips on strategically placing keywords, linking to other Web pages and providing high-quality content, having your site appear on page one Google after users type in a related query is still partly luck for most of us.
To learn more about the algorithm that may be more closely guarded than the Colonel's secret recipe, read Why is the Google algorithm so important?
How many calories did you eat today? If you overindulged and packed in a few hundred extra calories, you may be one reason behind the prohibitively high price of food in 2008. Food prices have jumped more than 80 percent in three years, according to the World Bank, and their meteoric rise doesn't show signs of stopping, not least because of people eating excess calories.
Don't feel too bad though. The biofuel market played a role, too. When the agricultural industry has recently faced the decision of filling up bellies or gas tanks, gas tanks have often won out. That's ratcheted up the demand and, consequently, the price for corn and other crops such as soybeans and potatoes that can serve as both food (either for us or for livestock) and fuel. Add in a few ill-timed floods, droughts and other acts of weather vengeance, and you're looking at a multifaceted explanation to the huge and growing problem of how to feed 6.7 billion hungry mouths.
To learn what governments, global organizations and people like you and me are doing to try to solve the problem, read Why is the cost of food rising so rapidly?
Of all the questions that have been on people's minds this year, particularly in the United States and particularly as the most financially tumultuous year in decades ends, perhaps no question was as pressing as this one -- how would the U.S. government spend the gargantuan bailout it announced in September 2008. Certainly, anxious homeowners biding their time against foreclosure wanted to know. Baby boomers sitting on depleted retirement savings wanted to know. Banks definitely, desperately wanted to know.
So far, it's good news for the banks during the first round of the two-phase plan to dole out the funds, much to consumers' chagrin. As of the time we wrote this, about $159 billion had been awarded to a veritable who's who list of troubled banks and insurers, such as AIG, JPMorgan Chase and Bank of America. Overall, the United States may spend trillions to fend off an already deepening recession. It may be too little, too late. Many worry that the bailout has set an alarming trend of looking to the government for handouts. Read more about the scary economic history that's unfolding before our eyes in How will the U.S. government spend the $700 billion bailout funds?

Calling Fox News Quality Control: Pie Charts Are Supposed To Add Up To One Hundred
As TPM reported earlier this week, FOX News management has said heads would roll for on-screen "errors" like running the cover of "Going Rouge" instead of the cover of "Going Rogue" in their programming.
So what quality control agent is doing their pie charts? They add up to 193%, dude. And Sandy points out that 70% of Republicans suffer from BACK PALIN: a pre-existing condition for sure.

3D Object Processing: Compression, Indexing and Watermarking
210 pages
June 2008
Written by expert contributors, this timely text brings together the three important and complementary topics of compression, retrieval and watermarking techniques for 3D objects. 3D object processing applications are developing rapidly and this book tackles the challenges and opportunities presented, focusing on the secure transmission, sharing and searching of 3D objects on networks, and includes:
- an introduction to the commonly used 3D representation schemes; the characteristics, advantages and limitations of polygonal meshes, surface based models and volumetric models;
- 3D compression techniques; the 3D coding and decoding schemes for reducing the size of 3D data to reduce transmission time and minimize distortion;
- state of the art responses to the intrinsic challenges of building a 3D-model search engine, considering view-based, structural and full-3D approaches;
- watermarking techniques for ensuring intellectual property protection and content security without altering the visual quality of the 3D object.
3D Object Processing: Compression, Indexing and Watermarking is an invaluable resource for graduate students and researchers working in signal and image processing, computer aided design, animation and imaging systems. Practising engineers who want to expand their knowledge of 3D video objects, including data compression, indexing, security, and copyrighting of information, will also find this book of great use.

Acta Cryst. (2013). B69, 229-237 [ https://doi.org/10.1107/S2052519213010336 ]
Abstract: The real crystal structure of the (NbSe4)10/3I charge density wave (CDW) compound is studied by simulation of the X-ray diffuse scattering. The average structure of the low-temperature twinned phase is determined and the phase transition is attributed to the formation of a CDW. The diffuse streaking, present in X-ray diffraction patterns above and below the transition at T = 282 K, is shown to be a projection of diffuse concentric rings perpendicular to the c* direction. The simulated patterns, based on a mismatch model between infinite NbSe4 chains, correlated by I atoms, are in good accordance with the experimental patterns. In addition to the experiments, the electronic properties of the high- and the low-temperature phases are calculated with the extended Hückel tight-binding method. The Fermi surfaces of the average structures above and below the phase transition appear very similar. Their shapes support a nesting instability and a CDW formation. The weak incommensurate CDW satellites, present below the phase transition, are at 100 K properly described by a modulation wavevector q = [0.06 (1), 0, 0.55 (1)].
Keywords: one-dimensional structures; charge density waves; diffuse scattering.

wikiHow to Spin on Ice Skates Without Jumping
Three Methods:Scratch spinScratch Spin with Hard Backward Inside Edge2-PivotCommunity Q&A
Here's a cool move, but be warned that you can only do this if you already know how to ice skate.
Scratch spin
1Do backward crossovers, with your left foot on the inside.
2Step out with your left foot and make a half-circle to reach a center and then swing your right leg from the side in front of you.
3Bring the outside of the boot to the outside of your knee and slide your skate down your leg, which will make you spin fast and keep the other leg still on the ground.
4Slow down by putting your arms out. Toe picks are used only for jumping, not stopping.
Scratch Spin with Hard Backward Inside Edge
1Do clock ward (have your left on the inside, but clearly on an outside edge) backward crossovers.
2Take your outside foot and make a hard backward inside edge with your inside foot, naturally, in the back of your outside leg. Make a smaller circle.
3Step out with your left foot and begin to do a left outside three turn but right as your about to turn to go backwards pull your foot to the balance position. Remember: right leg and right arm stay together.
4Slowly begin to pull in. Never spin on your toe pick. They are used for toe jumps, never stick your toe pick in the ice unless you plan to do a jump. Which if you are just learning a scratch spin the only thing you should need that for is a toe loop. Anyway
5Bring your arms in and let yourself spin, when you are exiting a spin step out with your Left foot with on a back outside edge

- Remember to use your arms. Bring your arms together in a hoop and then into a "W"to give you more speed. Be careful' don't try to do this if you are a beginner.
- When you are ready to spin, tuck your hands into your chest as this gives more power.
- Always be careful.
- You might get dizzy and fall or you might fall while swinging your leg.

Warner said some people in his home state had to wait in three-hour-long lines to vote last week.
Warner said there were nine suggestions the bill would make to states, but only listed three: no-excuse absentee voting; assistance to voters who don't speak English as primary language; and auditing and reducing waiting time at polling stations.
Earlier in the day Coons released a statement saying voters waited too long to cast their ballots in several states and that Congress should do something about it.
"Long lines are a form of voter disenfranchisement, a polling place running out of ballots is a form of voter suppression, and making it harder for citizens to vote is a violation of voters' civil rights," Coons said. "This is the United States of America and the right to vote is in our DNA: we have to get this right. The FAST Voting Act is a creative way to jumpstart states' election reform efforts and ensure that what happened last week doesn't happen again."
The bill would also encourage states to offer same-day registration, provide early voting for at least 10 days and assist voters with disabilities, among other things.

Artisan releases Studio 6.0
Post a comment
SAN FRANCISCO Artisan Software Tools Wednesday (July 13) released a new version of its Artisan Studio product, formerly called Artisan Real-Time Studio, which highlights the concept of ergonomic profiling, the ability to build a compelling environment based on the needs of specific domains or applications of UML.
Using ergonomic profiling, Artisan Studio 6.0 takes on new menus and explorer windows based on the UML profiles the user is working with, including new icons, item types and diagrams, according to Artisan.
Artisan Studio 6.0 features a profile for modeling compliant Department of Defense architectural frameworks, which allows modelers to describe compliant architectures using diagrams and graphical notation, based on UML 2.0 modeling techniques and technology, according to Artisan (Cheltenham, UK).
Artisan 6.0 also includes multi-user change tracking, which automatically tracks changes on each model element, the company said. Artisan Studio 6.0 also offers choices of code generation on-demand code synchronization, in which a user chooses when code is generated from, or reversed into the model, or automatic code synchronization, which provides instantaneous synchronization of model and code.
