I guess some still hold on to the old ways. I pulled a few sets of 1/4-scale plans, both kit and scratch-build, because I got curious as far as aileron actuation was concerned.
Of course, the Nosen Citabria is an older kit and uses one servo/bellcranks. The Sig Clipped-Wing J-3 is also one servo/bellcranks, but mentions using one servo per aileron if preferred by the builder. The Balsa USA J-3 uses two servos, but their L-4 plans show one servo/bellcranks.
I guess technology caught up with kits, because I looked at my GP Extra 300S, a .60 sized kit, and it builds using one servo per aileron.
Up next on the building bench is a vintage Sig Skybolt biplane. You can bet that I'm going to modify this ship to one servo per two ailerons.
Theres one trick or tip that I keep forgetting to include in the build, so Im posting it now while its on my mind.
Have any of you ever noticed what appear to be dents in your sheeting? You rack your mind, but cant figure out how they got there? The culprit(s) are right in front of you on your workbench. Its the little bits and pieces of wood, glue, etc. that present themselves during the building process. You lay your sheeted component flat on your bench, and a little weight is all it takes to leave an impression of the foreign matter.
Although I try to be diligent in keeping my workbench clean, I noticed that the bottom of the wing had a few dents. The good news is that these are mostly a case of the wood being compressed around the junk on the bench. At this point, many modelers get out the fillers. Which means more sanding, and actually, more wood removal in the process. Theres an old and simple woodworking trick that can decompress the wood: water.
Take a cloth and wet it with water. Not dripping wet. Just a light wringing. Make a point in the cloth and dab the dent. Dab in the water go get the dent wet enough as just not to get the water to run off. Let it dry. Ta-da!
If you have multiple dents, treat only a few at a time and let them dry. You do not want to work in any warps.
Worked on the sheeting on the bottom of the wing under the aileron bellcrank bay. The travel of the linkage from the bellcrank to the servo would have required a 5/8 wide rectangular hole in the bottom of the wing. The instruction/build manual options for a more appealing crescent-shaped slot.
The challenge here was plotting out the location of the bellcrank travel arc onto the sheeting. I used a graphics program to draw the arc, and printed it onto laser printer transparency film. I positioned and then ironed the toner of the transparency to the balsa sheeting. Since I have not used this process before, I also ironed the arc to a test sheet of balsa.
After boring 1/4 holes at the ends of the arc on the wing bottom sheeting and the test sheeting balsa, I used a Perma-Grit 4mm rotary rod in my Dremel. Since cutting the arc was going to be free-hand, I wanted a couple of practice runs. After cutting and sanding two practice arcs, I had at it. I used the third outline of the practice piece to remind me of which direction I needed to cut in first, and then cut the actual model sheeting. After the cut, light sanding. Im good with the results.
The sheeting was taped-off in the areas where they would contact the ribs. Titebond applied to the top of the ribs first. Then Titebond brushed-on to the sheeting and the tape immediately removed.
After the Titebond set, the sheeting was put into position and CA applied to the trailing edge. Next, the sheeting was ironed onto the ribs. Looks like the cut-out for the arcs (left and right wing panels) are in position just fine.
Thanks for following along.

Actually, the Steen Skybolt and I go way back.
I grew up on the west coast (Southern California) at a time when aviation and aerospace were the primary employers. it was also a time when high schools offered adult evening classes in a variety of subjects. I learned that one of the evening metal shop teachers (a Douglas engineer) was building a Stolp Starduster Too, a two-place sport biplane. I became a part-time helper of the project. When I graduated and went off to college, the Starduster was standing on it's main gear, and my signature was on a small part of the both the metal and wood work. It was a few years later that the finished project made it into the air. Sport biplanes have been a soft spot for me since.
I saw my first Skybolt at the Oshkosh fly-in convention in 1983. I liked the lines better than any other. I liked that it was a little bigger, thus more comfortable than the others. This was the airplane that I wanted to build.
Well, life happens, and building a full-sized aircraft is not in the cards for now. But modeling, which I have been involved in for more than forty-plus years now, is as enjoyable now as it was back then.
I was able to put away a Sig Steen Skybolt kit just before I went into hiatus from the hobby in the mid-1980s to raise my family. It sits there in the box, ready to be laid-out on the building bench. When Wendell Hostetler offered one-quarter scale plans fashioned after the Sig kit, I ordered a set and a kit from Precision Cut Kits. That kit also sits in the box, waiting...
So, don't think that this is a "one-up" model Skybolt venture. This is a passion for a design that caught my eye many years ago.
Ailerons are finished!

Started sheeting the wing center section with 1/16 balsa. I measured off the underside area of the sheeting that would come in contact with the ribs, spars, etc. and masked-off strips for the glue. I didnt want to apply a 3/8 stripe of glue for a 3/32 rib, or apply too much glue in other areas that did not contact the sheeting. A bit more time for the prep, but satisfying.
I gotta say, I LOVE the iron-on method of sheeting. The pics of the sheeting in place is before any sanding. The sheeting just lays right down and stays put. Yeah!
Thanks for the kind words. I'm having a lot of fun with it.
It'll be an interesting match, because the Sig is an (approx.) 18% scale of the full-sized plane, and the Hosteler is an enlarged version of the Sig and (approx.) 26% of the full-sized plane.
Full-size Skybolt wingspan (top wing - larger): 24'
Sig: 51", 6.5 lbs.
Hostetler: 76.5", 22-24 lbs.

I actually like the Skybolt about the least of all sport biplanes (this is only a personal choice). Of SIG's offerings of Biplanes, I always thought the Liberty Sport was the prettiest, followed by the Smith Miniplane. The Skybolt seems squashed down to my eye. Don't get me wrong, I love biplanes and a Skybolt model would be built by myself, long before a P-51 Mustang and I like them also. All this demonstrates is differant strokes, for different folks. I do like the Aeronca Champion's family of designs: Aeronca, Champion, Citabria, Decathalon, Balanca, etc.
Many of the modern sport biplanes took leave from the lines of the "classics". Heck, some don't even look right with "flat" engines, and don't get me started on enclosed canopies! Might as well put mag wheels on a Ford model-T...
Funny that you should mention the Liberty Sport. The full-sized one was built in Arizona. It was made up of surplus parts from 17 different aircraft. Even though a hodgepodge of parts, it really has cool classic lines. I picked-up a Sig kit on eBay about a year ago. Not sure if I'll build it or not.
Champion Aircraft Company bought the Champ series from Aeronca in 1954. Champion introduced the Citabria in 1964. Bellanca bought Champion in 1970.
If you compare the Aeronca 7AC Champ to the Citabria, you can see where the later is a modernized version of the former.
Just like automobile manufacturers, its interesting how many production aircraft companies there used to be here in the USA.
It is an interesting point on the aircraft manufacturer's... I wonder how close it really compares. The "homebuilt" style of aircraft has seemed to evolve greatly though over the last 10+yrs though.. Will the "homebuilt" auto do the same I wonder?
Even with that, automobile restoration is big now too.... with small business taking up slack in manufacturing replacement parts/accessories... enough of that though...
The Citabria is one of my favorites too... I was initiated into full-scale aerobatics in a Citabria... it's such a wild ride!!! The plane belonged to a friend of mine, and we went up several times over the course of a few years.. there's nothing like a snap-roll/tail-spin in a full scale.. it was intense and sooo fun.. ..
So I built one... still have it... the GreatPlanes .40 size Decathlon... and it flies as crazy as the full scale.. maybe moreso.. I can't tell from the ground, but it sure looks like it does.. and she's a hand full.
Keep up the great work.
My Bud Nosen Citabria kit was converted (Kit Bashed) into a Champion 7GCB. It had the rounded vertical stab. of the champ and the cowling and squared rear windows of the Citabria! It was easy to install a full interior with a nice instrument panel in a 1/4th scale airplane. I took this airplane the farthest of all of any of my scale endeavors. I don't have any digital photos, the airplane was built back in the mid 1980s. I wish I did have a way to show some photos here.

Manchester United look to continue their recent resurgence with a fourth straight Premier League win when they travel to Cardiff City on Sunday.
David Moyes made an inauspicious start to his tenure as Red Devils boss, with the club winning just two of their opening six league matches.
However, the reigning champions have recovered well from their sluggish opening and a 1-0 victory over Arsenal before the international break left them just five points adrift of Arsene Wenger's table-toppers.
United's form is even more ominous considering that they have amassed 20 points from 11 matches - they have gone on to claim the Premier League title with a lower points tally at the same stage on three previous occasions.
The visitors have issues in midfield, though, with Michael Carrick ruled out by an Achilles injury and Phil Jones almost certain to sit out with a groin problem.
Those absences could hand an opportunity to Brazilian midfielder Anderson, who will be keen to take the chance should it arise at the Cardiff City Stadium, having been linked with a departure in January recently.
Moyes expects to have Nemanja Vidic available after he was withdrawn in the Arsenal fixture with concussion, while Rafael (ankle) and Robin van Persie (toe and groin) will hope to be in contention, though the fixture is likely to come too soon for Danny Welbeck (knee).
Cardiff have not beaten United since a 3-0 victory in November 1960, although the sides have only met on five occasions since, with the last encounter resulting in a 4-0 home success for United in March 1975.
Malky Mackay will be looking for his side to bounce back from a 2-0 setback to Aston Villa before the international break, as second-half strikes from Leandro Bacuna and Libor Kozak consigned the Bluebirds to their fifth Premier League defeat.
That result left the Welsh side in 14th position, with 12 points from 11 top-flight games this season.
Mackay welcomes back close-season signing Andreas Cornelius to his squad, with the striker having only featured in two competitive fixtures for the side this season due to an ankle injury sustained in the Capital One Cup against Accrington Stanley in August.
Peter Odemwingie should also shake off a knock picked up in training in time to feature against Moyes's charges.

Stamford U16s played last year's semi-finalists, Melbourne, in their second pool match of the Notts, Lincs and Derby Cup.
Without several key players, it was a tough fixture with the outcome likely to decide the pool winners and this year's automatic semi-final place.
Melbourne started the better of the two teams scoring an early converted try but Stamford responded well, pushing Melbourne back deep into their own half.
Strong forward pressure resulted in repeated Melbourne infringements and Stamford's line-out capitalised territorially, resulting in a drive over try for Angus Collett.
Stamford continued to punish the opposition's poor discipline by kicking for touch in the second half. However, Melbourne's resilient defence continued to frustrate the Stamford.
Melbourne continued to run lines from deep and added two more tries, one converted, which effectively put the game beyond Stamford.
Further Melbourne indiscipline resulted in ugly exchanges and the referee called time early with Melbourne winning 19–5.
Stamford: Elliott Moss, Callum Norris, Sam Duncan, Jordan Baxter, Oliver Winspear, Jack Jones, Mark Sclanders, Angus Collett, Tom Davies, Rory Pears, Luke Ford, Kieran Hynes, Oliver Sherwin, Dan Sproul, Andy Marshall and Johnny Smith.
Stamford U13s knew their trip to Market Harborough would be a tough test but despite losing four quick first-half tries they fought back well to 22-14.
Harborough were organized but Thain, at scrum half, managed to create a few opportunities and this released a bit of pressure and reassured the boys as they grew into the game.
Tails rose in the second half and tackling from Buck, Moon and Penrose-Toms saw the home team on the back foot.
A superb succession of off-loads meant Henry was able to break free on the wing and score a good solo try.
This was the start of sustained pressure from Stamford which was rewarded with a turn over and try from Henry.
Despite superb conversions from Batty, Stamford still had to work hard with a series of attacks held-up on the Stamford line.
Stamford showed strong character with an outstanding man-of-the-match performance from Toby Anderson.
Stamford: Zach Morley, Toby Anderson, Daniel Moon, Henry Dunn, George Chandler, Harry Nightingale, Charlie Thain, Jack Batty, Charlie Germany, Ben Chisholm, Jonathan Buck, Charlie Penrose-Toms.

PCLinuxOS Day 8 - Between a Desktop and Server
Another day at the control center. I am impressed with the scope of tasks that can be executed via one tool. Earlier I mentioned Webmin and the control center shares quite a few characteristics with that tool (though the functions are different, of course). Let's continue digging deeper.
The page Hardware has five tasks that deal with setting you graphical environment: Configure your monitor, Change the screen resolution, Configure 3D Desktop effects, Set up the graphical server and Set up TV card. Five others deal with your peripherals (keyboard, mouse/pointer device, printer, scanner and UPS).
First, I took a closer look at "Look at configure the hardware". At first it gave a list of the hardware components of the computer. Under options you can extend the autosearch to printers, modems, jaz drives and parallel zipdrives.

Terry Collins ripped into the Mets during a clubhouse tirade immediately after last night's 9-3 loss to the Pirates at Citi Field.
Turns out, the manager was just warming up.
Collins, still red-faced and fuming, saved his "A'' material for the tape recorders and TV cameras at his postgame news conference. After watching the Mets blow a 2-0 lead and bumble through an embarrassing seventh inning, when the Pirates scored five runs on five infield hits, Collins finally snapped. It took 54 games, but he apparently had reached his breaking point.
"I don't have the answers," he said, his voice raised. "I'm searching. I'm wringing the rag dry, coming in here and having to look at you guys and having you look at me like I'm a stinking fool.
"I told those guys -- we're good enough. We've got to go play the game right. We just can't continue to make foolish mistakes."
Collins, from Day 1, has tried to boost morale, knowing his team's shortcomings. But the Mets have been playing shorthanded for a while, and there's only so long you can skate by with backups at key positions on a regular basis. Still, Collins refused to make excuses, despite dropping a second straight to the Pirates with a late-inning meltdown.
"They're big-league players," Collins said. "They should be able to do it. I don't know what it is -- I'm not in their minds. But it's how you play the game. I'm not pointing fingers at the players -- all of them -- either.
"It comes back on my shoulders, and I'll take all the blame that anybody wants to hand out. They're my players. Therefore, maybe I got to make some adjustments, and by God, they'll be made. I don't know if it comes with finding different players, but they'll be made. Something's going to be changed."
But what? While Collins' outburst made for good theater, not much can be done with this current roster, especially with David Wright and Ike Davis out indefinitely. Jose Reyes will return from bereavement leave for today's series finale, but the Mets still have plenty of holes.
Collins' stinging lecture was brief -- only a few minutes -- but the message got through.
"He was red," Jason Bay said. "He's fed up with the way we're playing and he got his point across. There's got to be less waiting and hoping and more doing."
Said Willie Harris: "Everybody in this clubhouse wants to win. Then you make the manager come in here and give it to you like that, almost like you upset your mother, nobody wants that."
The Mets didn't make an error in that seventh inning. It was more general ineptitude as Pittsburgh loaded the bases with three infield hits to start it. Chris Capuano missed first base on a flip from Daniel Murphy, Harris couldn't throw out Neil Walker on a bunt and Capuano couldn't handle Matt Diaz's tapper in front of the mound.
The strangest play of the seventh happened when Chris Snyder hit a grounder to shortstop Ruben Tejada, who flipped to Harris for the force at third. Though it appeared Harris had a foot on the base, he still tried to tag Walker, and umpire Doug Eddings called him safe.
Next, centerfielder Angel Pagan let Lyle Overbay's line drive kick off his glove after a sprinting chase -- it was ruled a hit -- and the Pirates scored three more runs off Pedro Beato on two singles (one infield) and a fielder's choice grounder.
"I'm sick of trying to describe seventh innings," Collins said. "I'm running out of ideas here. The issue is not effort. It's execution. I sit up every night trying to figure out what we can do to get us over the top."

The La Mesa-Spring Valley School District has been able to refinance a portion of the Proposition M general obligation bonds and save taxpayers more than half a million dollars.
East County voters passed the $44 million bond measure to repair and renovate aging schools in 2002. The district also received federal and state construction funds at the same time.
The district expects to save $650,000, according to Superintendent Brian Marshall, which should be reflected in property tax bills later this year.
Much like a homeowner can refinance a home loan to obtain a better interest rate and lower monthly mortgage payments, a school district can refinance its bonds for a better rate and lower the bond cost to all property taxpayers, Marshall said.
"This refinancing is a good deal for La Mesa and Spring Valley taxpayers," said school board member Bill Baber. "I would hope that every school district would go out and do this for taxpayers. It's rare when a government body can lower taxes, but we got it done."
Proposition M was earmarked for improvements to such things as electrical wiring, heating, plumbing, roof repair, technology and classroom renovations. It allowed for the resurfacing of playgrounds and replacement of unsafe equipment.
The La Mesa-Spring Valley School District has four middle schools and 17 elementary schools and serves nearly 12,500 students.

Can it get too complicated?
View Single Post
July 15th, 2010, 16:10
I think so, yes. I like games where everything is presented to me. When I grab a new sword, I want to know everything involved, to make an informed decision if it's better or not than my current weapon, or if it's better against skeletons or against vampires. But if there are too many variables, then it just becomes cumbersome.
I think there should be enough variables to make the system interesting, but not so many as to make it impossible for someone to keep track of it all:
- Weight for weapons? Good.
- Total weight of inventory affecting speed? Good.
- Specific weight of a weapon affecting attack speed but only when slashing? Bad.
When a weapon is as simple as "1-8 damage" it's easy to compare against a "2-7" damage weapon. But when you add more variables… is a "1-8 damage, 3 pound, slashing, 1.7 attacks/second, .8 rate of decay, silver, short" weapon better than a "2-10 damage, 3.8 pound, crushing, 1.6 attacks/second, 1.2 rate of decay, adamantium, medium" weapon? At some point there are just too many variables and the whole thing crumbles and players just decide to always use the biggest damage weapon and ignore everything else, and all the extra developing work on programming all those factors is wasted.

* Prices may differ from that shown
I bought this camera back in October 2012 so I've been using this for about 8 months. I use it to make videos for YouTube. This camera replaced my old Vivitar DVR-865HD and it was a brilliant replacement.
This camera shoots in full 1080p HD so is crystal clear. It records in AVI format. It can take photos in JPEG format up to 12MP. The photos are in 4:3 aspect ratio.
The microphone is very sensitive so it's best not to use this camera - unless you just want video with no sound - outside when it's windy. However, this is an advantage because the microphone is fantastic! It's very, very clear and only a slight bit of background noise which is barely heard.
Flip out the screen and it turns on automatically. Who needs buttons? Close it to turn off. The camera has a simple user interface. Exposure can be increased and decreased to +2 and -2. There are 5 options to adjust white balance which are automatic, sunny, cloudy, tungsten and fluorescent.
The camera takes an SD card, has an HDMI output and comes with an external battery charger.
To see some examples of the footage - including the microphone - from this camera, see http://www.youtube.com/mrkaimarsh.
I asked my dad for a camcorder for Christmas as he wanted to get me something I would use and I wanted. At first I was dubious of the smaller camcorders as I wanted something that would be very high quality for filming my daughter as an aspiring photographer/ movie maker. (I have too many hobbies to count!).
To keep this Review simple and clean to read, I have written a list
of the camera's specs. (IN MY OWN WORDS)
1. 5mp camcorder with HD.
2. Video and Photo modes.
3. Photo mode can be changed to 12mp quality.
4. LCD Screen flips out and rotates (good for self filming, portraits) 3" wide.
5. Touch screen for controlling settings
6. Very minimal settings and options so easy to navigate.
7. Adapts to your surroundings.
8. In built flash.
9. Rechargeable batteries.
10. Brilliant quality recording and easy to upload to computer.
11. Requires a good quality high rating SD card.
12. Slimline and comes with a case to keep it safe.
13. Can change to filming something close or scenic at the flick of a switch on top
14. Automatically turns on when you open the flip screen.
15. black sleek appearance.
16. 4x Digital zoom
17. HDMI port and cable to plug into TV.
18. Comes with charger and European plug as an extra if going abroad.
19. 1920x1080 Resolution
20. Night recording mode for in and outdoor night events.
21. Easy to use, lightweight and great to control.
22. Instructions are on a CD.
23. Good battery life. Charges from empty to full in around 2-3 hours.
Flip it open, press the red button and your recording.
Underneath the red button is a MODE button which will change the mode to
the photo mode for taking still images. You can change the quality of the camera to take still images to 12mp and also change the settings for the video to be high or lower quality. As it is very minimal in settings, you don't need to mess around trying
out which settings are best for you. The camera does all the work for you!.
I love this camcorder. I am so excited to start using it in the summer when we go on day trips and get to use it in bright conditions. We went to the park yesterday and shot some videos of my daughter Hollie playing football with her Daddy.
When I got home and uploaded them to the laptop, it was very clean and clear.
I am not too sure if I like the Picture quality on the still images yet. It has no image stabilization so when my daughter is running around the house like a mad woman,
I can't seem to get an un-blurred photo.
Secondly, I am so worried about snapping the flip screen off. It looks super sturdy and I doubt I would break it, but I can see myself falling over or dropping it when it is open and it would snap clean off. I must remember to look where I am going when holding it.
Thankyou for taking the time to read my review.
Also on Ciao

Slide Rock, Sedona
After driving through 107 degree Phoenix two days ago, we came alive sleeping in the cool of Sedona.
Our campsite had a half dozen friendly skunks, with a little tail-raising dance that kept Trent and the kids on their toes. Mazie Jane made a sign to warn the next campers of them.
We started out yesterday at Slide Rock to play in the red rocks and cold natural waterslide.
This morning we're at the Grand Canyon.
Camping last night we had a beautiful experience. Elk thrilled with their bugling calls all around us for about an hour, near and far. It reminded me a little of camping out with Dad (except under a roof instead of a tarp!) or of hiking into Dog Mountain to hear the rut with Mom and Dad – I can't hear elk without feeling my folks' presence with me, a nice feeling when they're so far away. Between all the excited coyote pups tasting a kill at Canelo, and the elk here, we're hearing a bit of the wild we thought we left behind in Montana.
We're on our way to Boulder Colorado for a homeopathy seminar and workshop Oct 5-11. We are curious how we'll react to the cold after all this heat. Turned on the camper heater this morning for only the second time so far. After the workshop we'll head south again for the winter.
Ann Hayes, We're hoping to see you when we come through. Trent and the kids will have lots of time while I'm in class and Elaine mentioned you come through Boulder often. We'll get ahold of you when we're there if we don't hear from you first.
MomE permalinkSeptember 24, 2009 1:57 am
I'm so jealous….I was in Sedona about 3 years ago. Sue and I won a trip to Scottsdale and drove to Sedona for a day. I really want to go back and spend more time in and around the area. It was such a lovely little town. How was the Grand Canyon? We did not do the Grand Canyon and should have………..just ran out of time. And Boulder! Love Boulder! Hope you get to visit with Ann while there.
Ann Hays permalinkSeptember 26, 2009 6:58 pm
Hi Cami, I'm about 40 min. from Boulder. Phone #'s 970-586-6532 or 931-638-0376. Give me a call if you get the chance. Maybe they could drive up to the Rockies for the day or I might could come down. Would love to see yall!!! Ann
David Leamon permalinkOctober 7, 2009 1:10 pm
Hello Trent, Cami and younguns!
Love all these cool pics. Jealous as hell that I am not sliding on that waterslide. Definetely have to do that one day!
Elaine gave me your blog so I could see what you four are up to! I somehow am not a bit surprised that your wandering around the states in a RV! You've got guts my friend. It thrills me to see you so happy! Your littluns are precious! I will definetely save your blog in my favorites and check on you from time to time.Drive that RV to TN when ya get a chance cuz!
Love to all…

Patients get tested at THD
TULSA - Testing continues Monday for thousands of patients who may have been exposed to blood-borne viruses at a Tulsa-area dentist's offices.
More than 400 of
Dr. Scott Harrington's nearly 7,000 patients flocked to the Tulsa Health Department Saturday after they were told to get tested for hepatitis B, hepatitis C and HIV.
Another 300-plus stood in line Monday, according to health department officials.
One of the patients tested Monday was Nancy Guard, who saw Harrington in October 2006 for a tooth pull. Guard described that she couldn't recall her visit with Harrington. She said she was reminded by the friend who drove her to his office seven years ago.
For Guard, getting her blood drawn was prudent.
"The only reason that they only said between 2007 and now is because those are the only record the dentist still had. The fact is, we don't know how long his practices had been that way," Guard said.
Guard went for testing early Monday morning, where she stood in one of four 25-person groups waiting for testing. She called the process efficient and complemented the members of the Tulsa Health Department.
"Someone should say the health department is doing an incredibly friendly, excellent, efficient job, and they don't hear good praise all the time," she said.
Harrington is under investigation by the Tulsa and state health departments as well as the Oklahoma Board of Dentistry, which so far have found what they're calling inappropriate infection control practices at his dental offices in Tulsa and Oklahoma, and they say Harrington put his patients at risk for contracting the viruses.
LINK: Oklahoma Board of Dentistry's complaints against Dr. Scott Harrington (http://bit.ly/HarringtonDOCS)
The investigation was set in motion after one of Harrington's patients tested positive for hepatitis C. The investigation eventually led state and local health officials to Harrington's practices.
Among the accusations brought against Harrington by the board are a lack of sterilization, illegal administration of IVs and expired medication in an unlocked drug cabinet.
RELATED: Tulsa dentist Dr. Scott Harrington located in Arizona resort town (http://bit.ly/11besGa)
Harrington, who has been practicing dentistry since the 1970s, has closed his clinics while the investigation is ongoing. He's due before the board April 19 for a hearing that could determine the future of his practices.
The Tulsa Health Department's North Clinic near 56th St. North and Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. is open from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday for walk-in testing of Harrington's patients. Additional health department officials from Pittsburg County are in Tulsa to help with testing.
Upon testing, patients at the health department are being given a fact sheet about the viruses and the ongoing investigation.
View the handout online (http://bit.ly/126Z6oV).
Results from the tests won't be available for two to three weeks. Infected patients will receive a phone call and possibly additional testing. Those who test negative will receive a letter in the mail.
The Tulsa Health Department has set up a hotline for anyone with questions: (918) 595-4500.
Health departments in Claremore, Washington and Osage counties are also offering free testing for Harrington's patients.
Health officials say providers are only required to keep medical records for seven years and every patient since 2007 is encouraged to get tested; however, officials say patients prior to 2007 may also be at risk and should undergo testing as well.

A Model of Credit Card Delinquency
Limited commitment for the repayment of consumer debt comes from two places: formal laws granting a partial or complete discharge for debts under certain circumstances, or "bankruptcy," and informal default and renegotiation, or "delinquency." In the US, both channels are used routinely. The usefulness of each of these routes as a way out of debt depends on the costs and benefits available through the other: delinquency exposes a household to collections processes initiated by lenders, while formal bankruptcy appears to carry more visible consequences for future transactions, including restrictions to even secured forms of credit. This paper is the first, to our knowledge, to evaluate unsecured consumer credit markets in the presence of both bankruptcy and delinquency. We show that these two options indeed interact in important ways. Specifically, we show that stricter control of delinquency, as defined by a relatively high ability to garnish wages, leads to more bankruptcy and lower welfare. Similarly, we find that eliminating the bankruptcy option altogether leads to a modest increase in delinquency. Perhaps most interestingly, we show that interest-rate ceilings, even though they have the standard effects in terms of limiting credit access, improve ex-ante welfare for all. This occurs because the inability to reprice debt after delinquency allows a useful level of "state contingency" in debt that does not increase average borrowing costs substantially. In essence, households have to pay the costs of delinquency in order to get the benefits of a low interest rate.

She always held her thoughts back
Because well, who wants to hear the opinion
Of the new girl
So she sits silently
In the back of the classroom
Intelligence, when suppressed
Ceases to exist
Her mind grew differently than all the other kids
Because she sat silently
In the back of the classroom
Finally comfortable, she begins to speak
But then she's uprooted, moved
To a new place
Once again she's the new girl
In the back of the classroom
This happens so often, she's afraid to make friends
After all, who cares about the new girl
In the back of the classroom?
Will she ever stop being the new girl
In the back of the classroom?
In the Back of the Classroom by ennailaughterWatch
©2013-2017 ennailaughter
I have been the new kid in so many schools, and it is so unbelievably uncomfortable. Especially when still in elementary school. Now as a freshman in highschool, I had to switch not only schools, but states again...
I can relate.
Good job.
Good job.
I'm going through the same. But I hate where I am now, so moving is going to be great for me.
well I hope you move soon if that's the case
Moving on the 15th I'm so happy. This time I'm not gonna try to open up to people. I'm just gonna stay as the kid in the back of the classroom.
yay and you might be different but, I always say that, but I end up making at least one friend, don't open up to everyone, but don't shut them all out either, that can feel even worse
I know. Ive lived my life like this. The real antisocial. Always shut everyone out. But opening up can hurt more. We all take to this life differently.
I'm pretty much the same way, my best friend only became my friend because he went out of his way to get me to talk to him
This sounds a lot like my life; I was always the new guy, moving to several schools per year, seeing so many people and living in so many places, but never being able to make friends without moving away :/
same here, I just moved from California, and we had plans to stay there for years...
Dang D: That has to suck! (after spending most of my life on the road, I've gotten used to having to move even though we had plans on staying; in my case, almost everything that is planned gets all kerscuffled and nothing goes the way we planned it :/)
I know how that feels :/
I hated being the new girl, so I always make an effort to reach out to the new kids.
That's pretty unfortunate - I know how it feels to be torn from your friends and having to make new ones. I've had the same experience a couple of times, though it never ceases to amaze me how friends are formed - it just seems to happen...
At least these days its not so easy to keep someone away from their friends, with the internet and all.

Northern Ireland's Jason Smyth has a golden chance to take on Usain Bolt and Yohan Blake
Stephen Maguire passionately believes there is better to come from four-time Paralympian champion Jason Smyth in the future.
And Smyth's former coach insists that the Eglinton sprinter's ambition of competing against the likes of Usain Bolt and Yohan Blake in the Olympics can still be realised.
With Maguire taking up a new role with Scottish Athletics, he and 25-year-old Smyth amicably parted ways after the Paralympics in London, where the latter won the 100m and 200m in the T13 class breaking world records in the process, just as he did four years earlier in Beijing.
It was the end of a hugely successful sporting partnership, which started when Smyth was a 16-year-old, but unlike some other coaches and athletes, their friendship remains.
"I've been with Jason right from the start and for the relationship to end on a complete high in London with the two of us still on really good terms and friends was as much as we could have asked for," said Maguire. "I'll still look out for him and make sure his next coaching move is the right one for him and try to advise him.
"I've already told him I'll still be on his back to get training and coaching right.
"I never coached Jason with a label of Paralympic athlete, able bodied athlete or an athlete with a disability. He was coached with the emphasis on realising his full potential and he hasn't realised his full potential yet.
"He's gone a long way to doing
that but I believe there's more to come. He can be more consistent and get stronger. He's a late maturer and I hope he gets to the Olympics in Rio.
"It will be difficult for him because he's getting married soon and once than happens other things can become more important than athletics. He needs to focus 100% and he can do it."
Smyth had hoped to race in the Olympics but his season's best of 10.22 in the 100m was just outside the 10.18 required standard.
"When he didn't qualify I was very frustrated because he should have run it (10.18) with his ability," said Maguire.
"After that disappointment though he showed great character to come back and do what he did at the Paralympics.
"Realising it was the last time we would have training sessions and competition together was a weird feeling.
"I really enjoyed coaching Jason — he's a great talent and a great guy."

Africa Needs International Help to Turn Promises Into Progress By Rodrigo de Rato, IMF Managing Director
November 12, 2004
By Rodrigo de Rato, Managing Director
International Monetary Fund
Business Day
South Afica
November 12, 2004
Many countries in Africa have made notable progress achieving economic growth and stability over the past decade, thanks to the commitment of their governments to growth-oriented policies and, most recently, the strong global expansion. Economic growth in sub-Saharan Africa this year (4.5%) would be at its highest level in a decade.
But this welcome progress remains too modest to achieve continent-wide inroads against poverty. Some countries are seeing incomes rise, health care improve and educational opportunities expand. But many face daunting challenges if the scourges of poverty, disease and illiteracy are to be conquered. Developed countries, international institutions and African governments have made commitments to address these challenges. It is time to turn pledges into action.
The need to act on commitments has been underlined by my experience since I became MD of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) in June. I have travelled to Africa twice to meet heads of state, civil society representatives and others, addressing the Extraordinary Summit of the African Union in Burkina Faso. At last month's IMF-World Bank annual meetings in Washington, the fund's members held talks on challenges of growth, poverty reduction, aid flows and debt relief.
The IMF shares Africa's strong commitment to tackle the challenges of growth and poverty reduction. Our common objective is the Millennium Development Goals, and our strategy of partnership was defined in 2002 at the Monterrey conference. The industrial countries have pledged to increase aid and reduce trade barriers. The IMF and World Bank will offer advice, expertise and financing. Crucially, developing countries will pursue sound economic policies and good governance, a foundation that already exists in the New Partnership for Africa's Development (Nepad).
However, even though the way forward is well defined, progress has been far too slow. At the current pace, the millennium goals will not be achieved in Africa in the next decade, probably by a wide margin.
That requires all parties to do more with urgency.
For Africa, this means redoubling efforts to put in place the reforms to achieve high and sustained levels of growth. This will require a vibrant private sector, with high levels of investment from domestic and foreign sources. In addition, experience in Africa and elsewhere shows a healthy business and investment climate requires sound and corruption-free institutions that facilitate a predictable legal and regulatory environment.
As aid flows rise as they must African countries will need to be well prepared. For example, public spending management systems must be reinforced so that other essential spending, including on much-needed public infrastructure, is not crowded out.
High oil prices are putting pressure on prices and external accounts in many African countries, and the IMF stands ready to assist countries in their efforts to tackle these pressures. But oil-producing countries face challenges as well, as windfall revenues pressure weak institutions and potentially undermine governance.
Sustained growth and poverty reduction will require increasing transparency and strengthening medium term fiscal frameworks to ensure revenue from natural resources is used effectively. The Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative, adopted by several African countries, is a helpful step. The IMF can provide the support needed to enable Africa to make rapid progress, whether in the form of policy advice, technical assistance and training, or financial assistance.
An important part of all IMF support is to help countries make the best use of the available resources. In this context, it is essential that our work fully supports the higher levels of aid that are in prospect especially as the effort to address the HIV/AIDS pandemic gains momentum.
If we are to achieve the millennium goals, the heaviest responsibility inevitably must fall on the advanced economies, which have a dual task. First, they must meet their commitment to provide higher levels of aid, whenever possible on grant terms. Current aid flows are insufficient, unpredictable and often uncoordinated among donors. Better co-ordination and multiyear commitments are key to making development assistance more effective.
Second, the developed countries must improve access to their markets for developing country exports and dismantle trade-distorting subsidies. The framework agreements reached at the World Trade Organisation last July are welcome, and place the Doha Round back on track. This needs to be followed by determined progress to maintain the momentum and achieve the goals of the Doha development agenda. In doing so, both rich and poor countries carry responsibilities in promoting the fuller integration of developing countries into the global trading system. Trade barriers in and among many developing countries themselves remain too high.
What is needed now for developed countries to fulfill their commitments on aid and trade is political leadership. Several welcome proposals are on the table to provide additional resource flows to low-income countries, but they call for sometimes difficult trade-offs. It is incumbent on political leaders everywhere to explain that global gains will outweigh the costs.
Progress against poverty is achievable, as the experience of many countries, especially in Asia, shows. But Africa cannot go it alone. Growth and poverty reduction will come only through an international partnership that turns promises into progress.

Parker Chair in Art History--The full name is the George S. Parker II Endowed Chair in Art History. It was announced in 2014, part of a larger gift to support fine art and arts education from the estate of former college trustee George Parker. Associate Professor of Art Joy Beckman, who also directs the Wright Museum of Art, was named the first Parker Chair in 2014.
Parker Exhibition Fund—Full name is the George S. Parker II Exhibition Fund. Received from the estate of the former college trustee, this gift funds traveling art exhibitions in the Wright Museum every other year. In the interim years, it supports a Beloit faculty member as he or she develops a themed course making use of the art in the Wright's permanent collection.
D.K. Pearsons Award—Initiated in 2014 and given to philanthropists whose transformational gifts and leadership embody that of Dr. D.K. Pearsons, whose gift made possible the construction of Pearsons Hall. The award may be given to either alumni or non-alumni who are major supporters of Beloit. James and Marjorie Sanger were the first to receive the D.K. Pearsons Award in 2014.
Pearsons Hall—no apostrophe! Built in 1893 and named after D.K. Pearsons. Use "Jeffris-Wood Campus Center, Pearsons Hall," in official presentations and fund-raising materials. Includes the annex (between Mathers and the lounge), D.K.'s Snack Bar, Hales Gallery, Java Joint, mail center, computer lab, Mathers Room A and B, Mead Room, Moore Lounge, TV lounge (not called the smoking lounge and no longer the Breeze Cafe), spirituality room, Weeks Lounge, and these offices: Accounting, Student Financial Services, Registrar, Security and Safety, Student Affairs offices, and various student clubs, including the Round Table and WBCR facilities. See appendix.
people—in general, use this instead of persons. If, however, someone uses persons in a quote or a signed letter, let the author's preference reign.
percent—spell out the word in text. The % sign may be used in numerical charts and headlines. Percentages should always be represented by a numeral. (Examples: an increase of 4 percent, but a 4-percent increase; HEADLINE: Board Grants 4% raise)
Performing Arts Series—in 1998, the name changed to International Performing Arts & Lecture Series (IPALS). The series was discontinued in 2010.
period—always place a period inside quotation marks.
periodicals—see titles, composition.
permanent collection—(lower case) refers to accessioned items in both the Wright and the Logan museums.
Pettibone World Affairs Center—see World Affairs Center.
Pew Midstates Science and Mathematics Consortium—composed of 12 liberal arts and sciences colleges and two research universities; provides access to research equipment at other member schools and sponsors two undergraduate research symposia each year.
Ph.D.s—technically, it should read "Ph.D. degrees." Other proper alternatives: doctoral degrees or doctorates.
Phi Beta Kappa—national honorary scholastic society for top students.
Phi Psi—common reference to Phi Kappa Psi fraternity. See appendix.
Phi Sigma Iota—international honorary foreign language society for juniors and seniors.
phone numbers—use a hyphen (not parentheses, slashes, or periods) between the area code and the number; do not include "1" with toll-free number. For campus extensions, use "ext." followed by space and four-digit number.
p.m./a.m.—use periods and lower-case letters. (Examples: 8 a.m.; 7:30 p.m.)
Pocket Lint—a literary journal composed of submissions from students both on campus and off.
Poetry Garden—see Beloit Poetry Garden and appendix.
Porter Scholars—top high school students who have been selected to take courses at the college while still in high school.
possessives—use apostrophe-s after singular and some plural nouns to indicate possession. (Examples: Jim's desk; women's room) When either a singular or plural noun ends in s, use only the apostrophe. (Examples: James' desk; ladies' room)
Powerhouse—note capitalization and one word, no hyphen. This is the name for the former Alliant Energy building located along the Rock River, which is being transformed from a power generating plant into an integrated student union, recreation center, and athletics facility due to open in the fall of 2019.
Pre-Collegiate Program—see Help Yourself program.
president—for Beloit College Magazine articles and other mostly alumni/student publications, the president's full name need not be spelled out in the first reference. First and subsequent references may be made to President Bierman. First references to anyone else must include full names and titles. When full reference is required, use President Scott Bierman. References to living past presidents (and their spouses) should be as follows: Victor E. Ferrall, Jr. (Linda Smith); Roger H. Hull; John E. Burris (Sally Burris).
Presidential Scholars / Presidential Scholarships—use the former when referring to recipients of these scholarships (the highest merit-based awards offered by the college) and the latter for the scholarships themselves.
President's House—use this instead of Chapin House. See appendix.
Presidents Lounge—room in Chapin Hall with portraits of all the former Beloit College presidents. See appendix.
problem solving / problem-solving—two words as a noun; hyphenated as a compound adjective (problem-solving skills).
professor—title generally reserved for tenure-track faculty positions. Do not abbreviate "prof." when used without a name. When introducing a faculty member, use the full academic title, including assistant, associate, adjunct, visiting, etc., as needed, along with the person's name. • Long titles are more easily read after the name and surrounded by commas. (Associate Professor of Psychology John Smith OR John Smith, associate professor of psychology, OR psychology professor Jim Smith—the latter example is lower case because it is simply an adjective, not a formal title; it is also confusing because it does not indicate academic rank, only that he teaches psychology.) • Subsequent references to faculty are by last name, except in captions, where the title Prof. and the name may be used. Capitalization follows titles rules. See titles.
professorship—see chairs, endowed.
program names—capitalize programs that address special interests and have the word "program" in the formal title. (e.g., Continuing Education Program, but Initiatives program.)
programs, academic—as with academic departments, generally use lower case when referring to Beloit's academic programs: African studies, Asian studies, biochemistry, cognitive science, comparative literature, critical identity studies, environmental studies, European studies, health and society, interdisciplinary studies, international relations, journalism, Latin American and Caribbean studies, law and justice, Medieval studies, museum studies, performing arts, Russian studies, teacher certification programs, writing program. (Example: She directs the cognitive science program. He works with the health and society program.)
Psi Chi—national honor society for psychology students.

Think retaliation won't be a problem because plenty of time has passed since an employee complained about alleged discrimination? Think again!
Always be on the lookout for possible retaliation, no matter how long it has been since the initial complaint. Courts assume that employers are perfectly capable of being patient if they're intent on punishing employees who file lawsuits or participate in other protected activity.
Recent case: Fred Andes, who is Asian and of Filipino origins, worked as an assistant professor at New Jersey City University. He first complained about national-origin and race discrimination in 2003 when he applied for a position as a dean.
The university told him the position was not going to be filled because of financial constraints. Then someone else got the job. Two years later, Andes applied for a promotion to full professor, but he was rejected.
That's when he sued, alleging that others who were less qualified and did not belong to his protected class were promoted. This, he claimed, was retaliation.
The trial court dismissed his lawsuit, reasoning that the fact that two years had passed between his first complaint and his missed promotion was enough to reject a connection. Andes appealed.
The 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals reinstated the lawsuit. It said that as long as Andes had some evidence that the real reason he was not promoted was related to his earlier complaint, his case could continue. (Andes v. New Jersey City University, et al., No. 10-2097, 3rd Cir., 2011)
Final note: Stay vigilant to the possibility that retaliation could rear its ugly head. Review every employment decision that might affect someone who has filed previous bias or harassment complaints. Make sure those decisions (discharge, demotion, failure to promote, etc.) are defensible.

Hello, and thanks for your medical question on E Health Forum. I am glad that I can help you.
Patients undergoing abdominal surgery experience reduced gastrointestinal peristalsis due to surgical manipulation of the bowel and administration of opioid medications after surgery. post-operation, bowels regain their function by 24 -48 hours. The passage of gas usually signifies normal bowel functions. Oral feeds are initiated once the bowel sounds are heard on physical examination.
In case you have severe issues like nausea, vomiting, distended abdomen, inability to pass flatus even after 3-4 days you might consider consulting your treating surgeon who can assess the situation and treat you accordingly.
I hope my answers here have been helpful

Romantic Comedy/Classic
Adapted by Jon Jory from the novel by Jane Austen
Directed by Joi Hoffsommer
All of the wit and romance of Jane Austen's classic 1813 novel come to life in this refreshingly fast-paced and engaging new adaptation. Finding a husband is hardly Elizabeth Bennet's most urgent priority. But with four sisters, an overzealous match-making mother, and a string of unsuitable suitors, it's difficult to escape the subject. When the independent-minded Elizabeth meets the handsome but enigmatic Mr. Darcy, she is determined not to let her feelings triumph over her own good sense -- but the truth turns out to be slipperier than it seems. In a society where subtle snubs and deceit proliferate, is it possible for Elizabeth and Darcy to look beyond his pride and her prejudice, and to make the best match of all?

Harmony Korine is a polarizing filmmaker. He's been a recurring presence on the film festival circuit since his directorial debut Gummo premiered at Telluride in 1997. His second narrative feature, Mister Lonely, debuted at the Cannes Film Festival, then two years later Trash Humpers premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival. Yet critics are largely turned off by Korine's unpredictable and fringe sensibilities, while most moviegoers are totally unaware of this daring director.
Enter Spring Breakers. With a cast that includes former Disney stars Vanessa Hudgens and Selena Gomez, as well as James Franco, Korine's upcoming crime drama would seem to have the biggest mass-market appeal yet. On top of its stars, the promotional campaign has been shamelessly selling sex and skin with its posters and violence and decadence with its red-band trailer. Whether you can't get enough of Korine or you just want to know more about this TIFF pick that has critics howling, you should enjoy this behind-the-scenes featurette that gives a peak into the world of Spring Breakers and show's the curious auteur in action.
Written and directed by Korine, Spring Breakers centers on four college girls (the aforementioned Hudgens and Gomez, as well as Ashley Benson and Rachel Korine). Dreaming of a Spring Break vacation they'll never forget, these bosom buddies rob a restaurant to fun their trip, but land in jail. Sprung by a drug and arms dealer (Franco), they have a second shot at Spring Break glory, but first there's some dirty work to do.
Spring Breakers opens in limited release on March 15th; a wider release will follow on March 22nd.

ELYRIA – A man was fatally shot following an altercation with 30 people last night, according to police.
Officers were called to the 1100 block of Garden Street at 11:30 p.m. Tuesday for a report of subjects pounding on the front door of a house, according to Capt. Chris Costantino.
While officers were en route, dispatchers advised officers they had received another call reporting "multiple" gun shots coming from the area. A responding officer in the area of Infirmary Road and Garden Street heard what appeared to be a gunshot in close proximity, Costantino said.
When officers arrived in the area, they were flagged down by a female screaming for help, Costantino said. The female was holding a black male who was bleeding profusely and appeared to be unconscious.
The 24-year-old male was transported by LifeCare Ambulance to UH Elyria Medical Center emergency room, where he died from his injuries, Costantino said.
Witnesses told police that the victim had been involved in an altercation with about 30 subjects in the area, and he was shot as he attempted to run away.
The name of victim, who has a Lorain address, is being withheld until his family is notified.
The Lorain County Coroner's Office was notified and will rule on the cause of death at a later date.
No arrests have made been made at this time. Anyone with information should contact the Elyria Police at (440) 323-3302.

SpaceGhostPurrp Mysterious Phonk Album Review
Our thoughts, on SGP's deep mind state on his new album.
Although many people want to compare SpaceGhostPurrp to artists like Tyler, the Creator and A$AP Rocky, after listening to his new album Mysterious Phonk it is fair to say that Purrp is on his own wavelength. SGP is vibing on a dark acceptance of isolation and bitter honesty. It's impressive how the 21-year-old is able to delve into his innermost demons with an almost zen-like calm, to recant his views on drugs, loyalty and women.
This hollow placidity of Mysterious Phonk is immediately implemented with the first track "MystiKal Maze." "I always try to smile, but the world is fake, the world is a house with a yard full of snakes," he says over an almost industrial sounding production to swirl behind his acerbic vocals. There is no departure from Purrp's smooth vulgarity in "Suck A Dick 2012," however, despite the ever present misogyny, the song has an obscured beauty that borders on psychedelic because of the track's laid-back drone and spacey rhythm. "The Black God" seems to combine all of SpaceGhostPurrp's ideologies: his concept of being his own religion. It's his belief system of self-empowerment on "Black God" that adds more depth to his persona, sort of like the way Jay-Z's mafioso pledge to never pray to God, but to Gotti.
SGP ends the 14-track record with "Raider Prayer," where reverbed, sleepy synthesizers accompany his esoteric mantra. The track stays true to the monk-like state that is present throughout the entire album. This repetition can be overwhelming at times, but there is something to say about his unwavering dedication to his unique style. Purrp is not afraid of empty-space and allows the tracks to breathe. Although bleak at times, Mysterious Phonk's introspection is refreshing and gives the listener a look into the dark mind of SpaceGhostPurrp.

DEFINITION of 'Interest Equalization Tax'
A federal levy on the purchase price on foreign stocks and bonds bought by Americans. The interest equalization tax (IET) was established in 1963 and eliminated in 1974. It was designed to decrease the U.S. balance of payments deficit by discouraging investment in foreign securities and encouraging investment in domestic securities.
BREAKING DOWN 'Interest Equalization Tax'
The IET rate was 15% on stocks and ranged from 1.05% to 22.5% on bonds depending on their maturity. The shortest maturity bonds had the lowest tax rate and the longest maturity bonds had the highest tax rate. The tax was one result of the increasing impact of international economic activities on the United States. An unintended consequence of the IET was to increase activity in the Eurodollar market.
