Product Features:
Single Intuitive Control (SIC)
The operation is simple and intuitive. The idea is revolutionary. The system rests in the OFF position or SLEEP mode. The first press of the SIC button puts the system into AUTOMATIC mode. In this mode, the LED automatically adjusts to the ambient light conditions using the Target Light Sensor Technology. The second press of the button puts the system in MANUAL mode. It starts at the brightest day setting and cycles through ten (10) day and three (3) night vision settings with every press of the SIC button. Holding the SIC button for more than three (3) seconds puts the system back to SLEEP mode, conserving battery life. Hitting the button again puts it back into AUTOMATIC mode. Simple. Intuitive. Effective.
Target Light Sensor Technology
Through extensive R&D, we've discovered that mounting a sensor in the light path behind the objective lens magnifies the incoming light and provides greater accuracy of the target light levels. In AUTOMATIC mode, this key feature allows the BCO reticle to be properly illuminated even when the user and target are in dissimilar light and avoids sensor errors caused from ambient light. More importantly, as an operator is on the move, the BCO will continuously adjust automatically. For example, light levels can vary extremely from streets to dark alleys and buildings. In today's urban warfare, when a nanosecond can make a difference, there's no time to search for a poorly illuminated reticle or make manual illumination adjustments.
BCO Microcontroller
The BCO Microcontroller is the brain of the operating system. Its custom program reliably and easily controls all of the electronic features. Unique to the industry, the BCO microcontroller is capable of being re-flashed with alternative programs via a sealed flash port on the back of the battery housing. This port can also be used to attach accessories such as a momentary remote tape switch.
Vibration Motion Sensor
The vibration motion sensor conserves precious battery life by putting the electronics in SLEEP mode if motion is not detected after two hours. Additionally, if the SIC button is accidentally depressed in a carrying case or storage rack, the system automatically turns off after three (3) seconds. The BCO has an average battery usage life of 2000hrs. with a minimum of 775hrs. on max brightness. In SLEEP mode, the battery will maintain the full 10 year life expectancy of a Surefire Lithium 123A battery.
Housing Designed to Accept Accessories
Versatility is at the forefront of the BCO housing design. So you'll find multiple areas for mounting "add-on" accessories. For starters, the OD of the eye-housing is a machined 30mm diameter surface with a 2mm groove for locking on dust covers or an assortment of other accessories. Plus, two mounting bosses are placed on top of the housing for attaching additional accessories. On the objective end, we added a 42mm x 3mm OD groove and threaded the ID for added versatility for accessories, such as anti-reflection devices, dust covers, and/or laser filters.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Discount retailer Target Corp. said Thursday that a key revenue measure rose 3.1 percent in January as shoppers bought holiday clearance merchandise.
The gain topped Wall Street expectations, and Target shares edged up 31 cents to $63 in premarket trading.
Gregg Steinhafel, chairman, president and CEO of Target, said its customers "continue to shop with discipline in the face of a slow economic recovery and new pressures, including recent payroll tax increases."
As a result, he said Target remains "focused on providing unbeatable value combined with a superior guest experience in both our stores and digital channels."
Analysts had expected a 1.7 percent increase for the four weeks ended Jan. 26, according to Thomson Reuters.
The figure is based on revenue at stores opened at least a year and is considered an indicator of a retailer's health because it excludes results from stores recently opened or closed.
For the quarter to date, revenue at stores open at least a year rose 0.4 percent.. The figure is up 2.7 percent for the year to date.
Total revenue for the five weeks ended Feb. 2 were $5.97 billion, up 29.6 percent from a year ago.
For the quarter to date, total revenue was up 6.8 percent to $22.37 billion. For the year to date, revenue rose 5.1 percent to $71.96 billion.

STOCKTON - An 18-year-old man was shot in the stomach about 5:20 p.m. Thursday near Palisades Drive and East Hammer Lane, authorities said.
STOCKTON - An 18-year-old man was shot in the stomach about 5:20 p.m. Thursday near Palisades Drive and East Hammer Lane, authorities said.
The man told police he was walking in the area when a man in the back seat of a white Buick Regal asked him where he was from and whether he was affiliated with a gang. The car drove off but returned a short time later, police said. The victim was walking away when he heard gunshots and realized he had been struck, authorities said.
The car fled the area after the victim jumped a nearby fence, police said. A passing motorist then took the victim to a hospital, where he was treated for a nonlife-threatening injury, authorities said.
The gunman was described as a black man 21 to 25 years old with dreadlocks, a neatly trimmed mustache, a black hooded sweatshirt and a blue bandanna around his neck, police said.
STOCKTON - One man was arrested and another slipped away after leading authorities on a short pursuit Wednesday night, the San Joaquin County Sheriff's Office said.
Deputies were conducting an area check at Lincoln Center when they heard 15 to 20 gunshots shortly before 9 p.m. near West Douglas Road and North Gettysburg Place, authorities said. Deputies and members of the countywide gang task force saw a dark blue and gray Pontiac sedan leaving the area at a high rate of speed, officials said.
Deputies attempted to initiate a traffic stop, but the driver failed to stop, authorities said. A brief pursuit ended when the vehicle stopped in front of a residence in the 6700 block of North Vicksburg Place, officials said.
The driver fled on foot, authorities said. Deputies described him as a black man with a light complexion standing 6 feet tall and weighing 170 pounds with a black baseball hat and wearing a black hooded sweatshirt, blue jeans and black shoes.
The passenger, Charles Gaston Jr., 39, was arrested on suspicion of negligent discharge of a firearm, authorities said.
During their investigation, deputies found a gun in the 1200 block of West Benjamin Holt Drive and discovered spent rounds from two handguns near Douglas Road and North Gettysburg Place.
STOCKTON - A 36-year-old man walked about a half-mile to ask for help after being shot in the leg about 12:30 a.m. Thursday in south Stockton, police reported.
The man told officers he was in the 300 block of South Center Street when he heard a gunshot and felt pain in his left leg. The victim walked to South Lincoln and West Washington streets before asking for help, authorities said. Officers located the victim near a homeless shelter in the 600 block of West Church Street, police said.
The shooter was described as a black man in his 40s.
STOCKTON - A man robbed a store in the 5900 block of Pacific Avenue about 9 a.m. Thursday, authorities said.
Witnesses told officers the man entered the store and asked to see the manager about a product, police said. As the manager was assisting him, the man acted as though he had a gun and demanded money from the register, authorities said. Employees handed over cash, and the man fled on foot toward Pacific Avenue.
The robber was described as a black man 20 to 24 years old standing about 5 feet 10 inches tall, weighing 180 to 200 pounds and wearing a black sweatshirt, black sweat pants, a black hat with a red brim and a black and white Nike duffel bag.

What on earth can do all this?
"I've heard of it," said a friend of mine when I told her that I was writing a book on melatonin. "That's skin pigment, isn't it?"
She was thinking of melanin, the dark color in skin and hair. Since that conversation I've encountered many people who confuse the two words. Melatonin is a natural hormone made by the pineal gland, which is located in the brain (see figure). All words in italics are defined in the glossary.
Melatonin helps to set and control the internal clock that governs the natural rhythms of the body. Each night the pineal gland produces melatonin which helps us fall asleep. Research about this hormone has been going on since it was discovered in 1958. But it is only in the last few years that much attention has been paid to melatonin. Close to a thousand articles a year about melatonin are now published worldwide. One reason for this growing interest is that we are realizing that deep sleep is not the only byproduct of melatonin. We are learning that it has a significant influence on our hormonal, immune, and nervous systems. Research is showing melatonin's role as a powerful antioxidant, its anti-aging benefits, and its immune-enhancing properties. It is an effective tool to prevent or cure jet lag, an ideal supplement to reset the biological clock in shift workers, and a great medicine for those who have insomnia. Melatonin also may have a future role to play in the treatment of cancer and heart disease, in lowering cholesterol levels, in influencing reproduction, and more. A delightful bonus is that melatonin can promote vivid dreams.
With all these potential influences on our hormonal and immune systems, no wonder melatonin has been clouded by controversy.
A Controversy That's Bound to Grow
Melatonin supplements became available in health food stores in 1993. Heavy media attention, including CBS, CNN, and major newspaper coverage, was focused on melatonin when a study by MIT researchers, published in March of 1994, showed that it was an effective sleep inducer. Melatonin sales skyrocketed. However, the chief researcher who had directed the study, Dr. Richard Wurtman, sent a letter to the press and appeared on CNN to caution consumers, "I hope that melatonin will become an approved drug quickly. Meanwhile no one should buy it and self-medicate." He argued that there are no agreed-upon dosages, no controls over its purity, and no formal data demonstrating that melatonin is safe. Melatonin sales slumped. The media coverage slowed.
Shortly after this warning, the National Nutritional Foods Association (NNFA), on April 11, 1994, issued an Action Alert to its members: "The leading suppliers and distributors of melatonin products in our industry will be discontinuing distribution of melatonin to health food stores. NNFA agrees with them that melatonin may be inappropriate as a product to be sold in health food stores and urges retailers to seriously consider the propriety of its continued sale." Nervous health food store managers took melatonin off the shelves (Whole Foods, June 1994). It became more difficult for consumers to purchase melatonin. Many relied on mail order distributors for their supply.
The Wall Street Journal, in an article published in August 31, 1994, and titled Drug Companies and Health Food Stores Fight to Peddle Melatonin to Insomniacs, pointed out, "Dr. Wurtman's letter didn't mention his financial interest in melatonin. Last year he applied for a patent with MIT on the use of melatonin to treat sleep disorders. In March a small Lexington, Mass., company called Interneuron Pharmaceuticals Inc., obtained rights to the patent application. Dr. Wurtman co-founded Interneuron in 1988 and owns nearly one million shares, currently worth about six million dollars. Today, Interneuron is aggressively pursuing a plan to market melatonin as a prescription sleeping pill. The company still faces four or five years of clinical trials, but it thinks it has a long shot at a blockbuster drug." Health food stores would be Interneuron's major competition.

Three charged with attempting to break into Farmington storeBy John Quinn
Union Leader Correspondent
March 16. 2013 4:26PM
FARMINGTON – Police arrested three people Monday in connection with one of the attempted burglaries at the Lil General Store last weekend.
Ryan D. Towle, 17 of 94 Hubbard Road, Lebanon, Maine, Tammy Ewing, 18, of 14 Pineland Park, Milton, and Dustin A. Rice, 20, of 54 Kennebeck Drive, were all charged with conspiracy to commit burglary and attempted burglary.
Additionally, Towle was charged with criminal mischief for allegedly damaging the store during the incident, which occurred at 438 Route 11 on Sunday before 10 p.m.
Police responded to the scene after the store's alarm sounded. Officers discovered a broken window and heard movement in the nearby woods.
Officer Sean Leach stopped a vehicle leaving the area and detained the three occupants, two of whom matched people seen on the store's video surveillance system. Members of Rochester's K-9 team, including Officer Keith Mackenzie, responded and eventually followed a trail that led to the vehicle, according to police.
All suspects were released on bail and are scheduled to be arraigned April 16 in 7th Circuit Court in Rochester.
Police continue work with counterparts in Alton and Rochester to investigate a second – and unrelated - attempted burglary that occurred at the store around 2 a.m. Monday. Police once again responded to an alarm activation when someone attempted to break into the store via a window.
Officers spotted a truck leaving the area at a high rate of speed. Investigators determined the truck was stolen from Alton and later set ablaze in Rochester.
Anyone with information regarding the two incidents is encouraged to contact Sgt. Scott Ferguson at the Farmington Police Department at (603) 755-2731 x110.

HILLSVILLE –– There's no good reason anyone should question Ryan Gravley's being chosen as the 2012-13 Southwest District player of the year. But should a dissenting opinion arise, the Carroll County senior can always reply that he had a better year than the kid who won it last year.
Gravley, who also happens to be that kid who won it last year, was voted the district's top player for the second year in a row, leading a list of six Twin County players and three coaches named to their respective boys' or girls' first teams.

As reporters waited for Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb to appear in the NovaCare auditorium for his weekly Wednesday news conference, predictions were offered on how the QB would handle the flap over McNabb not knowing there wouldn't be a second overtime in the Birds' 13-13 tie at Cincinnati.
Some people theorized he would refuse to talk about it. Your Eagletarian felt the way to go would be self-deprecating humor, like Mike Schmidt showing up wearing the funny wig when Phillies fans were mad at him back in the '80s. I figured, you bring the rule book up the podium, pretend to be studying it, remark that there are a lot of neat things in there, etc.
But Donovan, alas, does not do self-deprecating humor. Instead, he went the "victim" route.
Someone asked how McNabb handled the past few days, if he got upset or "laughed at himself."
"Laughed at myself? No. This is 10 years for me. I've been through the down days, the down weeks. I've been through the highs," he said."So I don't let anything like this affect me in any way."
Later, McNabb said: "Should I have known that rule? Yeah. There are lot of rules that those of us don't know."
Asked if he regretted not knowing the rule, McNabb said: " No. A hundred percent of everybody in the league knows now," he said. "If I am a trendsetter then I have set the trend."
McNabb's gaffe has gotten national attention and led some observers to call his leadership into question. A number of players, including Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, have come out in support of McNabb since Sunday.
"It did not make me feel bad at all," McNabb said of the tempest that followed. "I was truly being honest. You see other people starting to say they did not know it, either."
He said he thought the game would go into a second overtime, but he also seemed to have done some homework on the history of OT rules, referencing some changes that have been made in OT policies.
"I am not talking about it anymore," McNabb said. "The overtime is over."
McNabb was not the only Eagles player unaware Sunday that a game could end in a tie. However, as is usually the case, coach Andy Reid took the blame when asked if he planned to call a team meeting to review the rules.
"That's my responsibility and I'll learn from it," Reid said. "The players will learn. We don't have a lot of time to spend on things that happened in the past. We have to move on to the Ravens. We'll be aware of the rules that we need to be aware of. That particular rule is irrelevant."
Reid then cut off a reporter attempting to ask a follow-up question:
"It's a dead issue. We're moving on."
Given an opportunity to make his case to critical fans, to assert that he has the focus and passion fans are questioning, McNabb said: "That (criticism is) unbelievable … I just go out and play football. There is no reason for me to sit up here and try to answer every question people have about me. You're not going to impress everyone."
The Eagles are 5-4-1 heading into Sunday's game at Baltimore, with fans and the media wondering where this team stands. Reid left no doubt in again proclaiming that he "has a lot of trust in this team."
"We have enough talent on our football team to be very successful in this league," he said.
Reid brushed off those calling for him to lose his job.
"I don't get into all that. I'm here to do my job," Reid said. "We are here to win football games. Anything that gets in the way of that I ignore. We're trying to take care of business and get back on track."
McNabb said what people say about him does not bother him, but took offense to those criticizing the coaches and his teammates.
"The way that I can try to eliminate that is for us to go out and play football and win football games," McNabb said. "You're not going to please everybody. Everybody has their own opinion ...
"People think change is the answer. Andy is a guy that I expect to be here for a long time. I expect to be here for a long time. I'm going out and focusing on what we have to do to win."
Asked if he was considering lineup changes, Reid did not rule that out as a possibility.
"We'll see how things work out here," he said.
Reid said running back Brian Westbrook, who has been hampered by a high ankle sprain and a knee injury, would be limited in practice this week, if he practices at all.
Asked how much impact Westbrook's injuries are having on his performance, Reid said: "I'm not going to sit here and tell you that he is 100 percent. If we take care of business around him, he can still function very well."
Westbrook later said he can make "some cuts" on his right ankle, which he said gets worse during games.
Guard Shawn Andrews could travel back from the West Coast this week. Andrews has been in California since having back surgery late last month. Reid said last week that doctors found some bleeding in Andrews' back, preventing him from traveling. He has not played since Week 2 against Dallas.
"We'd like to see him first and have [trainer Rick Burkholder] and our doctors see him before I say or do anything," Reid said.

ROCKFORD, Ill. (AP) — A longtime bookkeeper pleaded guilty Wednesday to allegations she embezzled more than $50 million from a small city in Illinois to fund a lavish lifestyle that included a nationally known horse-breeding operation.
Rita Crundwell, the former comptroller of Dixon, pleaded guilty to a charge of wire fraud in federal court in Rockford. She was allowed to remain free until her Feb. 14 sentencing hearing. Prosecutors say she siphoned money into a secret bank account while overseeing the city's finances.
Crundwell did not make a statement during the hearing and answered the judge's questions with "yes" and "no." She left the courthouse without speaking to reporters, but her lawyer gave a brief statement that emphasized her cooperation with prosecutors.
"Rita Crundwell today admitted her guilt, saving the government the burden and expense of a lengthy trial," attorney Paul Gaziano said. "Rita, since the day of her arrest, has worked with the government to accomplish the sale of her assets, including her beloved horses, all with the goal of hoping to recoup the losses for the city of Dixon.
"I think the people of the city of Dixon ought to know that."
Crundwell's guilty plea in the federal case enables the U.S. Marshals Service to start selling off millions of dollars of assets still in her name, including about $450,000 worth of diamonds and other jewels, ranch land and a house in Florida.
The marshals already auctioned dozens of Crundwell's horses and other property, raising $7.4 million, but they say they doubt they'll recover the full amount Crundwell stole.
Gary Shapiro, acting U.S. Attorney for northern Illinois, said Crundwell's case is "one of the most significant abuses of public trust ever seen in Illinois."
Shapiro said he hoped it would serve as a warning for other public officials.
"If nothing else, what we have in this case is an object lesson in how not to manage public funds," Shapiro said. "This is a crime that should never have been allowed to occur."
Dixon Mayor James Burke said independent auditors who reviewed the city's books over two decades failed to catch on to Crundwell's scheme. Lessons have been learned and changes have been made, he said.
"There are all kinds of things that I wish I would have done differently," Burke said.
Residents in Dixon, the boyhood home of the late President Ronald Reagan, are largely lower-middle class, working at factories and grain farms. They had come to trust Crundwell to manage the town's finances with little oversight, and Burke said her plea was welcome.
"We're very happy that she pleaded guilty," he said. "There's no feeling sorry for her at all."
Burke said Crundwell deserves a long prison sentence, and he hopes her plea will help the town recoup more of its $53 million in losses. He said he would convene a public meeting to discuss how recovered money will be spent.
The wire fraud count carries a maximum sentence of up to 20 years in prison and a fine of up to $250,000. Crundwell's plea agreement also requires her to pay full restitution.
Crundwell, 59, had worked for the city about 100 miles west of Chicago since she was 17 and started to oversee public finances in the 1980s. Prosecutors say she began stealing money in 1990 to support an extravagant way of life.
Authorities say Crundwell bought luxury homes and vehicles and spent millions on her horse-breeding operation, RC Quarter Horses LLC, which produced 52 world champions in exhibitions run by the American Quarter Horse Association.
Her scheme unraveled when a co-worker filling in during Crundwell's vacation stumbled upon her secret bank account, prosecutors said.
Crundwell has pleaded not guilty to 60 separate but related felony theft counts in Lee County.

In reality, Fortune 100 companies need only about one woman director and two women senior officers per company to make headway in reaching gender parity either on boards or at the executive table. The bottom line is that progress toward gender-inclusive leadership on boards and executive teams is within reach.

Kinston put its undefeated league mark on the line Friday night against North Pitt, which also entered the game sporting an unblemished conference record.
By the time the final buzzer sounded, the Vikings left no doubt which team was the cream of the Eastern Plains 2A crop as they defeated the Panthers 75-51.
Kinston put its undefeated league mark on the line Friday night against North Pitt, which also entered the game sporting an unblemished conference record.
By the time the final buzzer sounded, the Vikings left no doubt which team was the cream of the Eastern Plains 2A crop as they defeated the Panthers 75-51.
The Vikings (12-2, 5-0) started the game with a 16-3 run, and a pair of alley-oop passes from senior Josh Dawson � one to fellow senior Denzel Keyes and another to sophomore Brandon Ingram to end the first quarter � created a 10-point cushion for Kinston.
�It was a big start,� coach Perry Tyndall said. �Between our transition game and our pressure defense, we had a lot of energy out of the gate. We almost outran our energy.�
The Panthers (7-7, 3-1) slowly chipped away at the deficit, closing to within six at 31-25 before Kinston began to reassert itself.
Kinston, which shot 11 of 19 (57.9 percent) in the first quarter, struggled from the field in the second, connecting on just three of 13 shots. Luckily for the Vikings, they hit 7 of 8 from the charity stripe to maintain a nine-point lead at the half.
Tyndall, who said his team may have tired toward the end of the half, gave up several easy baskets on dribble penetration, failing to rotate properly on the defensive end.
�The way we play causes that at times,� he said. �We started gambling a little too much. But I give (North Pitt) credit. They gave us a fit.�
The third quarter belonged to Kinston. The Vikings shot 8 of 15 (53 percent) in the quarter, methodically extended their advantage to 19 points and entered the final period of play with a 57-38 lead.
Only two Vikings players reached double figures in scoring and were paced by Keyes, who had 28 points and six rebounds. Dawson added 16 points and six assists. No other player had more than seven points for Kinston.
The Panthers, meanwhile, were led by 12 points from Bryant Battle and 11 each from Shaq Barnes and Demarcus Best.
With the win, the Vikings have outscored their last three conference opponents 223-114, and Kinston is now a game ahead of its nearest competition.
�That was a good team in our conference tonight,� Tyndall said. �In our conference, you�ve got to be ready to play night in and night out.�
The Vikings are off until next Friday, when they play host to league foe Greene Central.
In the girls game, Kinston, already a game up on everyone else in the conference, made sure North Pitt did not close the gap in the all-important league standings.
Kinston was led by sophomore Takerian Harper�s 15 points and 10 rebounds en route to a 65-46 win. Harper, who has started for the Vikings nearly all year, came off the bench for a second consecutive game, a fact not lost on coach Hubert Quinerly.
�It gives her a chance to � I�m not going to say slow down, but to see the game before she gets in,� he said.
Harper was joined in double figure scoring by sophomore Lydia Rivers, who also posted a double-double with 14 points and 12 boards.
Junior Anshonee Addison, who replaced Harper in the starting lineup, added 11 points, and senior Monique Lofton had 12 points in a balanced attack.
The Vikings (12-4, 5-0) actually trailed 14-8 after a quarter, partially due to 10 turnovers and more significantly a 2-of-14 effort from the field. Kinston actually started the game 2-of-20 before connecting on seven of its last 11 shots in the first half.
That hot spell coincided with a 22-3 run to end the first half leading 32-19 and firmly in control of the game.
Perhaps just as importantly as the scoring onslaught, the Vikings� suffocating full court press forced 23 first-half turnovers, and the Panthers turned the ball over a whopping 40 times on the evening.
In the fourth quarter, Kinston once again went cold from the floor, shooting just 6-of-18 to close out the game.
�I didn�t like the way we started, and I didn�t like the way we finished,� Quinerly said. �Everything in the middle was good. When you turn the ball over early and you turn the ball over late, you can�t win championships that way.�
With the loss, the Panthers fell to 7-7 overall, 2-2 in the EP2A.
NOTES: The crowd was already at a fever pitch before the varsity games began as freshman Jeremiah �Popeye� Fields hit a buzzer beater from just beyond half court to edge North Pitt 70-68 in the junior varsity game.

That Michael Phelps is the best swimmer in history goes without saying. His 14 Olympic gold medals and 24 World Championship gold medals -- including two more this week - speak for themselves, given that no one else has won more than nine Olympic titles or 11 world titles.
That Ryan Lochte has been the world's best swimmer the past two years also goes without saying -- to everyone but Phelps.
That is apparent in the way Phelps has spoken about his two close losses to Lochte at the 2011 world meet in Shanghai.
Rather than give Lochte the credit he deserves for those victories, Phelps has diminished them by constantly bringing up the diminished level of his own commitment to training since winning an unprecedented eight gold medals at the 2008 Olympics.
What Phelps has said about his training regimen undoubtedly is true. It may also be a defense mechanism, insulating himself from the possibility that no amount of training would have kept him ahead of Lochte in the 200-meter freestyle and the 200-merer individual medley.
Whatever the reason, Phelps has shown himself graceless in defeat.
This is what Phelps said after Lochte won Monday's 200 freestyle in 1 minute, 44.44 seconds, according to news reports:
"With the training I have had in the last six to eight months, that's all I had in the tank. . .The reason why I haven't been able to swim as fast as I wanted the last two years is: It's all my fault. . .That time (Lochte's) won't win a gold medal next summer."
And this is what Phelps said after the 200 IM, when Lochte became the first swimmer to set a world record since the 2010 ban on the hi-tech suits that had made record performances meaningless:
"I didn't win because I wasn't as prepared I should have been."
You don't come to the world championships and complain about not being prepared after you lose. Especially since Phelps was prepared enough to rally in the final 50 meters and win his fifth 200 butterfly world title in five tries. And be fit enough to swim faster than Lochte in the final 50 of both the 200 freestyle and 200 IM.
Lochte chose to let Phelps' churlishness go, saying, "You're either ready or you're not. If he says he wasn't ready, I guess he wasn't ready."
Phelps said the defeats were the motivation he needs for the 2012 London Olympics, where it would be no surprise to see him beat Lochte in one or both of the races he lost in Shanghai.
But Lochte has been unquestionably the best swimmer at this world meet. Friday, he added a third individual gold medal (200 backstroke) and a relay gold (4 x 200 free).
Lochte anchored the relay in 1:44.56, and Phelps led off in 1:45.53. Even with the advantage gained from a flying start (about .5 seconds), Lochte was faster than Phelps.
In a sport like swimming, there is nothing subjective about the results. Fastest to the wall is the best. No excuses.
For Michael Phelps to say it any other way diminishes himself most.

Hi guys,
I have a div and in that div, I have a drop shadow border using 3 separate div's - a top, a bottom, and a middle that repeats.
I have these 3 div's set up with background images of the drop shadow. (I know there are CSS methods of doing drop shadow, but it doesn't work in IE8, hence why I did it using background imgs)
Anyway, so there is a Content Management System I am using at work, and it has a top section and a middle section. The middle section is where I have my div with the drop shadow.
The top section has separate content in it. When loading in my html and css in the CMS, the background imgs that make up my drop shadow border are expanding out to the whole page (so the drop shadow is showing in the top section of my page as well even though it's only supposed to be around that one section.
Is there a way I can make this drop shadow fixed to stay around the middle content and not expand to the top??
Hopefully I am explaining this well.
Any help would be great, thanks.
Set the top section within a named div and css background color.
Give another name to the div with the image background and edit the css acordingly.
Awesome, thanks. I actually figured this out by setting the background of the top section to "none". So it is now behaving as should!

Opening statement…"The first thing I would like to do is address the Anthony Swain injury that has gathered a lot of attention. At the time, I did not see it happen. After seeing the TV copy, I can see why people question it. I have coached for 23 years and I have never told any player to fake an injury. I promise you this, moving forward, there will be no questionable issues like that again. That is all I am going to say about it.
"We are playing a very solid team. This group has been very good at home. They beat a very good South Carolina team, took Georgia to overtime and had a chance to win that game. They have a lot of good talent and a very good coaching staff, so it will be a big challenge for us."
Putting pressure on Tennessee's quarterback early…"He is playing at home and he has experience. Our challenge will be to keep him off balance. He is a very talented young man. He can run it and throw it. He is a dual threat challenge."
The strength of Tennessee's offensive line…"It is one of the better offensive lines that we play. They are a veteran group. They are big and physical. I think they are very talented."
On Tennessee playing so well at home…"I know they have a young team. They are very comfortable at home. They have a great place to play. They have a great crowd and everything that goes with that."
Preparing for Tennessee's quarterback…"This time of year you do the best you can. You do your homework on whoever is playing and trying to predict how they attack you."
Tennessee's rush defense against Auburn's rushing attack…"That is where it starts with us. We have to establish the run. Like Coach Lashlee said the other night, the way the game unfolded last week was pretty unique. We didn't have a lot of snaps, but we were running the football and had a lead. Our quarterback really didn't practice during the week. It was his shoulder that we were worried about and the run was working. We definitely need to establish the run, but obviously, you have to be balanced and take what the defense gives you."
What the Mississippi State come-from-behind win did for the team going forward…"That was a huge win; it was the way we won that game. We were able to come back. There was a lot of pressure on our kids at home, and I think our crowd was still trying to figure out who we were as a team. I think that gave everybody a good shot in the arm moving forward."
On Tre Mason…"He's really coming on. He wanted the ball the other night. You could tell that he was real explosive. He was breaking tackles. He's a veteran guy and was wanting the football, and we just kept giving it to him. Moving forward, we'll spread the ball around. We've got two very talented other running backs, but he was hot, and that's what we go with."
Is he concerned about the lack of passing reps Nick Marshall has…"All you can do, especially if you have a guy who didn't go through spring, is you've got to prepare him in practice. We've got a lot of confidence in him. He can throw the football. We feel like he's improved. It was just last week was so unique due to the fact he didn't practice. As a quarterback, you need reps. To answer your question, I'm not that concerned about game reps. We're getting plenty in practice, and there'll be a time that we'll need to throw the football. We know that, but we've got a lot of confidence in him."
Is Tennessee better than people give them credit…"There's no doubt about that -- just the fact that they were able to beat a South Carolina team and had a chance to beat Georgia both at home. Of course that's what I'm looking at. They're a different team at home, and we know that we are going to get their best. We've got to keep improving. We've got to play better than we did last week. They do have some talented players, and they've got a very solid coaching staff that's good at what they do."
The plan with Jeremy Johnson…"Jeremy was prepared to start the game. He had a great week of practice. We have a lot of confidence in him. I was very proud of him. It's hard to come into the game and throw the football two weeks in a row and complete both of them. That says a lot about him. He played three plays and came out. He had a great attitude. We've got a lot of confidence in him. If he's called upon, we feel like he can run our entire offense."
On the confidence of the team…"I think any time you're successful, you're going to be more confident. I really feel like this team's grounded. They've bought into taking it one game at a time. I don't hear anybody talking about anything but looking forward. There's a lot of maturity from our older guys as far as leadership. They've done a very good job in that area."
On not including much of a sweep play in the offense…"I think there will be a time it will come into play. It's all about what a defense gives you. As a play-caller you have got to take what they give you. That's still a part of our offense. Hopefully as we go through this year, that will be more effective. We've had some big plays with that, but certain teams take certain things away."
On preparing for teams…"I think that first, with any game, you're trying to gather information on how they're playing. Our guys have just done a good job at executing. That's really helped us. Any time you can put points on the board early, that gives you a lot of confidence moving forward. We'll continue to do that."
On Nick Marshall continuing to start despite the injury…"That's what we're hoping."
On Pat Dye's comments regarding last year's quarterbacks…"Of course, I recruited all the quarterbacks here, and they're nothing but champions. I'm proud of the guys."

Hi, we have the same problem! We has three motherboard of model DQ45CB that had this problem.
The defect is an component, it heats and burn! The Intel claims the motherboard has physical defect and than warranty does not cover!
But we'll throw judicially because it is a not assemble problem or use problem, it is an factory defect.
Olá nós temos o mesmo problema! Nós já tivemos três placa-mãe do modelo DQ45CB que tiveram este problema.
O defeito é um componente que esquenta e queima! A Intel alega que a placa mãe apresenta defeito físico e por isso a garantia não cobre.
Mas nós vamos acionar judicialmente, pois isso não é um problema de montagem ou um problema de uso, isso é um defeito de fábrica.

The Red LED you are referring to is the AMT Management Engine (ME) status indicator. Possible states:
If the LED is OFF then the ME state is OFF.
If the LED is ON then the ME state is ON and the system state is S0. It is fully functional.
If the LED is Blinking then the ME state is M1 and the System state is Sx. It is fully functional.
The LED is not indicating anything is wrong. Just indicating state of the ME.

ANAHEIM, Calif. (KTLA) — An investigation is underway in Anaheim after a young man's body was found inside a burned out car early Friday morning.
It happened around 3 a.m. in the 100 block of South Westchester Drive near Lincoln.
The neighborhood woke up to the sound as many as three explosions, which brought people running out into the street.
Anaheim police officers responded to find a white car fully engulfed in flames, said Sgt. Bob Dunn.
Shortly after, Anaheim Fire & Rescue arrived and extinguished the blaze, and that's when the body was discovered inside the car.
Authorities have not identified the victim.
But family members say he is 23-year-old Shimon Phal, a student at Cyprus College.
Investigators said a gas can was found inside the burned car.
They still aren't sure if it was a horrible accident, a possible suicide or if foul play was involved.
The vehicle appeared to have some front-end damage, possibly from a collision.
Neighbors said they believed the car was involved in a crash Thursday afternoon, and the man came back to retrieve the car.
They think that when he started the car, it caught fire and he couldn't get back out because the door was stuck due to the damage from the collision.
They say they could hear the man screaming as he was burned alive.
But other witnesses say the man could have escaped from the burning car, but did not try to get out.
"All I could see is the man's chest and his left arm," witness Hunter McClellan recalled.
"His left arm was free to move, it didn't look like he was trying to get out."

About the Artist
Jon Bilous is a photographer based in NYC. (for now) He's always been fascinated by travel and capturing the world as he sees it. His work has been featured around the world and in publications like Baltimore Magazine, The Washingtonian, & British Vogue. Jon's favorite themes are of the urban variety; specifically, architectural details.
He's guided by wanting to tell the full story (you should hear the way he talks about it). Taking the time to capture the small details of any neighborhood/city/town is when you're no longer a tourist with a camera. As a photographer, that's when you join the fabric of the community you're photographing.

Chaoyang District (朝阳区 Cháoyáng Qū) is in Beijing.
Chaoyang is a massive district, roughly covering the urban area to the north and east of central Beijing, beginning at the Second Ring Road, and stretching beyond the Fifth Ring Road. Chaoyang contains Beijing's Central Business District (CBD). While Chaoyang district does not have that many tourist sites, most visitors to Beijing will find themselves in Chaoyang at some point: especially for visiting the art districts, shopping, restaurants, and nightlife.
Get in
Subway line 10, newly opened in 2008 in time for the Olympics, travels along or parallel to the Third Ring Road, through most of Chaoyang district. Line 1 runs east-west through the Central Business District. Line 5 runs north-south in the northern part of the district.
Olympic venues
Many of the Olympic venues are situated in or around the Olympic Green in Chaoyang. Note that the Olympic Green area is now like a public square that can be visited for free. Admission is charged if you want to visit inside the venues:
Olympic venues are also found elsewhere in Chaoyang:
Finally, Olympic venues can be found in other districts including China Agricultural University Gymnasium, Beijing Science and Technology University Gymnasium, Beijing University of Aeronautics & Astronautics Gymnasium, Peking University Gymnasium, Beijing Institute of Technology Gymnasium, Capital Indoor Stadium, Beijing Olympic Basketball Gymnasium, Beijing Shooting Range CTF, Beijing Shooting Range Hall, Laoshan Velodrome, Laoshan Mountain Bike Course, and Fengtai Sports Center Softball Field.
Dashanzi Art District
Dashanzi Art District (大山子艺术区 Dàshānzǐ Yìshù Qū), originally known as 798 Factory, is a district full of galleries of contemporary Chinese art, located in an old industrial district. Also many Western style cafes here. The area has until recently been undisputed as the centre for Chinese contemporary art. But beginning commercialisation and mainstreaming of the area and the rise of other areas in Beijing makes this less obvious. The area is now firmly on the tour group circuit and can be crowded at weekends. Recently many of the original galleries have closed or moved due to high rents, although there are more and more cafes and shops, some quite high-end. Full of young artists selling their handiwork, which makes for great shopping if you can't afford the big art pieces. Visiting the area is still a must for both art lovers and common tourists. It's located outside Fourth Ring Road, so it's easiest and fastest to get there by taxi. It's in the direction of the airport, so it can be a convenient stop on your way there or a quick trip back into the city on your last night. Alternatively, bus routes 688 and 418 go from Dongzhimen via Liangmaqiao for connections to/from the subway system.
Caochangdi is a satellite branch to Dashanzi established as Dashanzi became increasingly commercialised and as rents rose significantly there. Caochangdi was a village that has now been swallowed up by the city. It's located a few kilometres north-east of Dashanzi, just beyond the Fifth Ring Road (a short cab ride or a few stops on the same bus routes that go to Dashanzi). The galleries here are more spread out and can be hard to find, so this is a destination for more serious art aficionados.
Liquor Factory
Liquor Factory is the third large art area in Chaoyang
Chaoyang also has a number of galleries elsewhere
Worker's Stadium
Chaoyang Park West Gate
Mid range
Sanlitun Area
Ritan/CBD Area
Sanlitun (三里屯 Sānlǐtún). Long the center of nightlife in Beijing, Sanlitun is located beside the embassy area in Chaoyang district. It is comprised of a main "bar street" divided into north and south sections, a side street with more casual (and cheaper) bars, and several large clubs/discotheques at the near-by north gate of the Worker's Stadium (separate entry below). Sanlitun has near legendary status amongst travelers, but you are just as likely to be irritated by pushy bar-owners or DVD sellers as you are to be charmed by its bars. Sanlitun is considered the 'old' nightlife district since Beijing started opening Western style clubs about 2005 in other areas, which means it is worth going to but if you are looking for the younger, party crowd then there are better places to go.
The main strip of bars along the east side of Sanlitun Lu (usually called Sanlitun bei or north) are interchangeable and unremarkable bars, but the drinks can be cheap, and this is where the doormen will try to lure you in to their club with special offers. Two other clusters set back from the street itself:
The south section is located south of Gongti Beilu. Take your first left into what looks like a parking lot and walk past The Bookworm to find the bars:
The "pedestrian" side street with more casual (and cheaper) bars is along a couple small back streets located immediately behind 3.3 Mall, north of the Village. Here you will find:
Worker's Stadium
The number of bars and clubs in the area around Worker's Stadium has increased as Sanlitun has been minimised by the city development. Now, the Worker's Stadium area shoud be considered a separate bar area. In fact, there are three distinct areas: the North Gate (Gōngtī Běi Mén) with the Kro's Nest, Vics and Mix; the huge entertainment complex on the West side (Gōngtī Xīlù); and Face Bar just opposite the south side of the Stadium.
Chaoyang Park West Gate
A new bar area has in recent years emerged West of Chaoyang Park.

Thakoon Hair and Makeup Video | Fashion Week Fall 2013
Check out the Glitter Eyes and Sharp Bangs at Thakoon!
Thakoon's Fall 2013 presentation included makeup and hair that made a statement — and was hard to miss. Makeup artist Diane Kendal took inspiration from the collection, which was inspired by Summer. "We wanted to reflect that in the makeup, so we did a very dark midnight blue shadow, but to get that Summer feel we added glitter on top. It created the perfect juxtaposition between Winter and Summer." As far as the hair goes, think sharp, graphic, and modern: bangs placed on half of the forehead and cut short, creating a youthful, girlish style with an edge.

Classroom 360 is a complete tour of my classroom as designed for the 2012-2013 school year. Each post highlights an aspect of my room with photos, a detailed explanation of it's purpose, and often times videos.
This post is a Classroom 360, Teacher Tip and Flash Freebie all in one.
Talk about getting the most bang for your buck.
I didn't plan it that way, but when I was writing it up I realized I needed to tag it as both.
So without further ado I present to you my new and improved student work bins.
|{Click here to access and download the labels shown in this picture as well as 8 additional labels.}
I actually used to just have one dishpan for collecting all student work. It sort of worked for me.
Sort of.
It wasn't all bad, but it did take some work to sort through the assignments because my friends finished work at different rates. I typically had kids sort it as an odd job when time allowed, BUT in the event that I wanted to correct something and my little worker bees were not around, it added extra time to the task.
And we all know how crucial every moment is in our teacher lives.
So this year I decided to have designated spots for each subject area. This will be the one central area that all completed assignments get turned in. Because students will know this is the procedure in our classroom, they will be able to quickly turn in their work and move onto the next activity and not waste time standing around waiting to ask, "What do I do with this now that I'm done?"
In the past, I had made labels, laminated them and taped/glued/tied/hot glued them onto the bin.
And every.single.time the label managed to fall off.
Well, first it would fade and THEN it would fall off, but the end result was always the same.
It is for that reason that I decided to skip the lamination and get my Modge Podge on. You're actually going to be reading quite a few posts about my love of Modge Podge in the next couple of weeks. Consider yourself warned...and now go out and buy yourself a big ole jug of it (and a bunch of those cheapo foam brushes because they are the BEST for applying the MP).
I decided to use a different color bucket for each subject area. I plan to coordinate folders and whatnot to those colors as well.
I also made the executive decision to go with an ELA bucket as opposed to a reading bucket, a word study bucket, and a writing bucket. And since I alternate teaching a social studies unit and a science unit, I went and got all genius on myself by putting those two labels on opposite sides of the same bucket. I'll just rotate it around to reflect which subject we teach.
Because I wanted to use different color buckets AND because I wanted them to match my room, I decided to spray paint some dishpans I already had. This proved to be a great idea as I was able to then use the paint for some additional projects (which I'll be sharing soon).
Here's how it played out.
I have created a packet that includes all of the labels shown in the images above. This product was designed as part of my versatile, ink-saving Blackline Design Collection.

FAIRBANKS, Alaska (AP) — An Alaska man faces felony charges after authorities say he launched his sports car into the side of a three-quarter-ton pickup truck during a fit of road rage in Fairbanks.
Police allege Luis Mesias Jara, 28, left tire marks on blacktop as he intentionally accelerated and backed into the pickup on the Steese Highway near the entrance to Fort Wainwright Army Post.
Jara was charged Monday with felony criminal mischief and reckless driving, the Fairbanks Daily News-Miner reported (http://bit.ly/1riUV53).
His attorney Gary Stapp says Jara objects to police calling the crash a "road rage" incident.
"They just got this completely backward," Stapp said. "This was just an innocent accident. ... We're not disputing that there was an accident, but there wasn't any road rage going on."
According to the criminal complaint, Jara told police the pickup driver kept him from changing lanes. Jara said he also was upset because the truck blew black smoke in his direction.
The pickup driver told police Jara cut in front of him and slammed on the brakes. The 1999 Porsche Boxster slid toward a median, struck a curb and stopped. The pickup also stopped, Fairbanks police said.
"(Jara) then put his Porsche in reverse and accelerated toward the F-250, leaving burn-out marks in the roadway while doing so," officer Jim Gibson wrote in the criminal complaint. "(The pickup driver) tried to steer his truck to the left to avoid the oncoming collision but was too late."
The sports car struck the truck on the driver side. The impact moved the truck slightly to the left, and the pickup's tires left skid marks showing lateral movement, police said.
Jara is free on $6,000 bail. He is scheduled for a preliminary hearing July 10.

Dear Dave,
Continue Reading Below
My husband works construction, so we barely scrape by during the winter months. Should we build an emergency fund for the slow times?
Dear Cathy,
I think that's a great idea. Although, I'd probably call it something other than an emergency fund. How about a squirrel fund? Squirrels need to have nuts saved up for winter, and in your case you'd be setting money aside during the summer to get you through the slow winter months.
You may think I'm playing games with the name, but really I'm not. This sort of saving isn't for emergencies. It's a budget issue, because you're planning and setting aside cash leading up to the down time you know is coming. Keep your emergency fund of three to six months of expenses separate from this, and take a careful look at what he made this winter and how much that left you short each month.
Remember, we're not talking about some random amount of money here. It's an exact amount that you can budget for accordingly. Teachers can do the same thing if they're not paid 12 months a year. It's a simple matter of planning ahead for the down time, and setting aside enough during the other nine months to see you through!
Dear Dave,
What do you think about the idea of putting your emergency fund into bonds?
Dear Ryan,
I think that's a really bad idea, and here's why. Bond values and prices go down as long-term interest rates rise. Right now, long-term interest rates—a good example would be mortgage rates—are ticking up. They've moved up a quarter of a percent recently. So, as this happens, the value of bonds goes down. If these interest rates spiked, you could lose half your emergency fund.
Never, ever put your emergency fund into things where risk and volatility are factors. An emergency fund isn't an investment. It's there to help protect things that are investments and your life. Keep it in something safe and simple, like a money market account where there's no penalty for early withdrawal.
We're not looking to make money with an emergency fund, Ryan. It's insurance. Just let it sit there, safe and sound, until it's needed.

Geno Smith has fired his agents, a few days after slipping out of the first round of the NFL draft and falling to the New York Jets in the second round.
The record-breaking quarterback from West Virginia tells SiriusXM NFL Radio on Tuesday that his drop to 39th overall Friday night wasn't the reason he parted ways with Select Sports Group, but didn't want to "shed too much light on it." Smith added that he wasn't comfortable discussing the specifics, but insisted it wasn't "because of one particular incident."
The decision by Smith was first reported by Sports Business Journal.
Smith, who will compete with Mark Sanchez and David Garrard for the Jets' starting job, must wait five days before signing with another agency.

Maybe it's like I said and TSAB did something. But who knows...
But yeah, Hayate, the Wolkies and Nanoha seem to be in the same "army" opposing old Lightning Squad (+ Subaru, Teana is nowhere to be found.)
Aw damn it... Sword Dancers was epic. Can't wait for more actual info on this!
I'm giving this page to a friend of mine and let it translate by him.

Well, think about it, if the TSAB was responsible, why would impulsive and emotional Subaru fight on their side? Especially after losing her father.
Subaru staying on the good path and follow the TSAB even if they don't do anything about it is more likely then her sticking by the TSAB (and fighting with such a satisfying grin) if they killed her father.

As I said. She may not even know. And all who know got branded as traitors and declared open season.
On the other hand.
Subaru is one of the biggest Nanoha fangirls around, why is she not with her?
Espacialy if Nanoha is out there to punish Genyas killers.
And why would Nanoha fight her old friends?
Maybe there is a break in TSAB itself.

That aside, interesingly enough this may mean that it's not Nanoha and Hayate who are the rebels, but Fate.
After all, Hayate is the one standing in front of this 'new' TSAB with a posture that sugests she's involved with this. And on the pannel with her and her Wolkenritter, she is standing in front of a Cyborg army.

Nice, I always stood by the belief that in a paramilitary organization, they will have to learn to kill. They are grown-ups, they will have to deal with dilemnas of grown-ups.

Hi guys! Long-time lurker first-time poster =D. Anyways I don't think I saw an actual real summary of what's been said about that Doujin so I'm going to try to sum it all up.
The person who is dead is indeed Genya (Subaru and Ginga's Father). In the picture of the funeral the people I did not see are Shamal and Teana. From right to left it goes Signum, Vita, Hayate, Nanoha, Vivio (she looks like she doesn't really understand what is going on lol.), Subaru/Ginga, and Fate holding the umbrella.
I could be wrong but as far as I can see these are the people there . Shamal and Teana could be dead too because I don't think I've seen Teana or Shamal in any of the pictures.
Anyways. Going by the summary Hayate becomes the leader of the TSAB after leading a coup d'etat. She does this because the TSAB was doing nothing. She then turns to Jail to make a cyborg army to combat the mass-based weapons that killed Genya and are also killing many people in the universe. Under her leadership the TSAB forsake the ideal of "an organization that did not depend on weapons other than magic to uphold the peace." Of course there were some who did not agree with this.
That would be Fate, Shari, Caro, Erio, and whoever else is with them. I'm not sure who else is but yeah. They stick by their ideals and oppose what Hayate is doing. They are rejected and branded as rebels and they run to the ends of the universe where they meet the enemy which is the cyborg army, and their former comrades.
I think that the Betrayers in the title is Hayate, Nanoha, Signum, Vita and the cyborg army because they betrayed their ideals and started using weapons other than magic to keep the peace.
Fate and co. are the minority and the ones branded as rebels. Nanoha and co. are the majority and are still part of the TSAB and they are the ones known as Betrayers.
Heh that was long =]. But this is what I got from the summary and from the pictures. I want to see the epic battle between Nanoha and Fate D=. Can't wait~~~.

This is one of the most epic crack I have read. Drama! Moved by human hands! No cosmic horrors, no gods; just humans, facing their own sins, mistakes and sorrows!

The way I presume it looks to be, I'd say Himura is touching on something I thought StrikerS never dared to touch for Hayate within 100 feet, but instead did it in a horrible manner for Regius. The brink of a leader becoming a necessary evil to enforce peace and justice, where even if too much passion betrays the intent, the intent is meaningless if the half-hearted passion is powerless.
These 'new' threats probably shook the foundation of TSAB, and Genya's death was just the last straw for Hayate to sink into Regius/High Council's footsteps by cooperating with Jail, which leads to the new TSAB, which depending on the story's turn of events, may or may not had defeated this new threat, but still face rebellion from naysayers of the new 'dark' TSAB.
I'm interested to see how Graham's (( if that is him )) is being tied to this. Graham vs Hayate?
Edit: ack, Ninja-ed. Or should I say Jedi-ed?
