NASA's 3-D printed rocket engine part generates 20,000 pounds of thrust
Washington, August 28 : NASA tested its largest 3-D printed rocket engine component, last Thursday, and found that it generated a record 20,000 pounds of thrust.
The component tested during the engine firing, an injector, delivers propellants to power an engine and provides the thrust necessary to send rockets to space.
During the injector test, liquid oxygen and gaseous hydrogen passed through the component into a combustion chamber and produced 10 times more thrust than any injector previously fabricated using 3-D printing.
Chris Singer, director of the Engineering Directorate at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama, said that this successful test of a 3-D printed rocket injector brings NASA significantly closer to proving this innovative technology can be used to reduce the cost of flight hardware.
The component was manufactured using selective laser melting.
Early data from the test, conducted at pressures up to 1,400 pounds per square inch in a vacuum and at almost 6,000 degrees Fahrenheit, indicate the injector worked flawlessly. In the days to come, engineers will perform computer scans and other inspections to scrutinize the component more closely.
The injector was made by Directed Manufacturing Inc., of Austin, Texas, but NASA owns the injector design.

What are you looking for? Type it here...
Dear Colleagues,
As we head into the New Year I pause to reflect on all of the work our society volunteers have invested in the SRS to ensure our organization remains vibrant and strong. My thanks go out to members and volunteers who continually contribute their time and talent to advance our field of research.
The past several months have been a busy time for the SRS. We continue to press forward with our high-priority initiatives to keep sleep and circadian research "on the radar" at the NIH. We have also been engaging members of Congress to demonstrate the importance of sleep and circadian research on our overall understanding of human health. The SRS has been working with the American Academy of Sleep Medicine on a number of initiatives as described later in this message.
NIH Activities In late October eight members of the SRS and two members of the AASM engaged in a series of meetings with NIH Institute & Center Directors and program officers. Overall, the SRS and the AASM received positive receptions at each of the ten Institutes and Centers we visited. It is becoming apparent over time that regularly meeting with NIH officials to discuss new developments in our field as well as each of the Institutes & Centers' interests in sleep and circadian research is raising awareness of the value of the science in our field and how it cuts across many other areas of biomedical research. A more detailed summary of the visits is included in this issue of the Bulletin.
Following the meetings at NIH in late October, the SRS and AASM had an opportunity to meet with Gary Gibbons, MD, the new Director of the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI) on November 15. The meeting with Dr. Gibbons was extremely positive. He is interested in sleep and circadian disorders research, understands the challenges for our field moving forward, and promises to work with the SRS and AASM to continue implementation of the new NIH Sleep Disorders Research Plan.
In an effort to facilitate implementation of the NIH Sleep Disorders Research Plan, the SRS and AASM will jointly host a Workshop on February 1 in Bethesda, Maryland titled, "Sleep and Circadian Research: Identification of Transformative Scientific Questions and Addressing Barriers to Progress." Members of the sleep and circadian research community will join NIH programs staff to identify and discuss a series of transformative questions for our field and discuss ways to advance sleep and circadian science. Ultimately, a Joint SRS-AASM task force will develop a whitepaper based upon the outcomes from this workshop with the goal of using it as a partial roadmap for future research initiatives in the field.
Congressional Initiatives The SRS continues to meet with members of Congress to educate them on the link between sleep and human health. Over the past two years the SRS has had success in getting language into appropriations bills related to sleep research and the implementation of the NIH Sleep Disorders Research Plan. The SRS will continue to advocate for sleep and circadian research in the coming year. Additional information about specific activities will be communicated to members in the next few months.
Nominations Process In response to feedback regarding the process for nominating members to run for the Board of Directors, Officers, and Section heads, the SRS Board of Directors has expanded the Nominating Committee. The committee was previously made up of the President, President-Elect, Immediate Past President and the Secretary/Treasurer. The new committee will keep the previous members and include two Section Heads. The Section Heads that participate in the Nominating Committee will rotate based upon the year. In odd-numbered years the Heads of the Circadian Rhythms Section and the Behavioral Research Sections will serve on the nominating committee. In even-numbered years, the Heads of the Basic Research Section and the Sleep Disorders Research Sections will serve on the nominating committee. This change will provide a greater role for Section Heads to help shape the future leadership of the SRS. On the topic of nominations, it is not too late to place your name in nomination for the SRS Board of Directors. The deadline for nominations is January 4, 2013. More information can be found by clicking here.
SLEEP 2013 Remember to mark your calendars for SLEEP 2013, June 1-5 in Baltimore, Maryland. Based upon the session and abstract submissions, SLEEP 2013 will have an abundance of outstanding science on the program. The SRS Educational Programs Committee will once again be hosting a "Basics of Sleep" Post-Graduate Course at SLEEP 2013. This course supports the SRS mission of educating individuals in our field and is great way to convey basic science to more clinically-oriented sleep professionals. As part of the SLEEP 2013 meeting, the SRS will be hosting the 18th Annual Trainee Symposia Series. This year the TSS will have an 'omics' of sleep theme with a series of workshops specifically on 'omics' topics in order to expose trainees to emerging science in our field. In keeping with the 'omics' theme, the TSS Keynote Speaker will be Eric Green, MD, PhD, Director of the National Human Genome Research Institute of the National Institutes of Health. We thank Dr. Green for agreeing to speak with the next generation of sleep and circadian investigators. Trainees who anticipate submitting an application for a NIH F or K award in the next 18 months are encouraged to attend the 4-hour trainee grant writing workshop that will be held on Saturday, June 1 prior to the kick-off of the TSS.
Looking Ahead As we enter 2013 the SRS Board of Directors will begin a process of re-examining priorities in the organization to ensure that services and activities that are of high-impact or are highly valued by members continue to be the focus of the organization while scaling back or eliminating items that are not broadly used or have little impact on members and the field of sleep and circadian research. As always, your input is valued as this process progresses. Feel free to send suggestions on any way the SRS can improve services and activities to firstname.lastname@example.com. As I close this edition of the President's Message, I would like to take this opportunity to thank all SRS members for your continued commitment to our organization. Despite trying times over the past few years with tight research budgets and economic uncertainty, you have remained committed to our organization through your work and your membership. This commitment has allowed us to move forward as a field and will help keep us strong as we move into 2013 and beyond.
Sincerely, Ron Szymusiak, PhD President

Workers At Maruti Suzuki, Hero Factories in Gurgaon to Join Strike Today
Workers of around 1,000 companies in Gurgaon-Bawal industrial belt decided to support the nationwide strike starting from Wednesday and informed the management to stop production on Thursday.
The production in leading auto plants, including Maruti Suzuki India Ltd, Hero Motocorp, Suzuki Motorcycle India Ltd, Rico Auto, Sunbeam and Sona stearing, will come to a standstill as around 1.5 lakh workers are expected to go on the strike.
The general secretary of Maruti Udyog Kamgar Union, Kuldeep Jhangu, said around 10,000 workers of Gurgaon and Maneser plant will be taking part in the strike, therefore, no production will take place on Thursday. "We have given a notice to management of both Gurgaon and Maneser plants of MSIL to shut down operations on Thursday and we have been told by the officials that they have granted official leave on Thursday," said Jhangu.
Meanwhile, the management of MSIL and Hero Motocorp has decided to declare official leave on Thursday to avoid any untoward incident. The workers of both Gurgaon and Dharuheda plant of Hero Motocorps have decided to go on strike as well. The district administration has imposed Section 144 in the district and no violent incident was reported.

Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti has not asked his bosses to bring in Zlatan Ibrahimovic this summer, according to Marca.
Reports in Spain on Wednesday had suggested Ibra wanted to link up with his former Paris Saint-Germain boss at Madrid for next season, with Ancelotti having asked club President Florentino Perez to try and sign him.
However, Marca insists the Italian has not requested Ibrahimovic or even spoken about bringing the Swedish striker to the Spanish capital, and although he considers him a great player it is understood he is not in his plans.
Mina Raiola, the player's agent, is believed to have been in Madrid over the past few days to find out if there was possible interest in his client, with Ibrahimovic allegedly upset with PSG's signing of Edinson Cavani from Napoli.
Ancelotti has already told Los Blancos' officials he is happy with forwards Karim Benzema, Alvaro Morata and Jese, while he is still waiting to hear if Gonzalo Higuain is prepared to stay at the club.

The Rockford Fosgate P400-4 is a middle-end car amplifier. It is a variation of the P400-2, and as such as all the same features. The only difference between the two is the number of speaker channels; the P400-4 has four, while the P400-2 only has two.
Loading latest prices from ProductWiki...
This gives it superior audio compared to the P400-2. The P400-4 features NOMAD technology, which uses an analog computer to prevent shorting out the speaker wires. It achieves this by calculating in real time the device voltage and current, activating a protection circuit when it senses things are dangerous. The P400-4 also features DSM technology, which improves the efficiency of the circuits. It manages this by laser etched discrete components. This gives the components a 1% tight-tolerance, which decreases cross-talk between the components, thus improving the efficiency of the circuits, as well as lowering the operating temperature.

Patterson was also all over the field on Sunday night, penetrating and causing all kind of havoc mostly to the Giant run game. Granted, the Giants run game is putrid, especially Brandon Jacobs, who was slow three years ago, and now just looks like a large old man gingerly probing into the line. But still, the physicality and quickness of Patterson was striking and impressive this past week. Not to mention, Trevor Laws has been getting in the act as of late, creating pressure up the middle. Even Derek Landri has made for a nice addition. He had a great camp, and has been solid ever since the Dixon injury. He even quite athletically (at least for a DT) recovered the Manning fumble to win the game.
So overall, a monster effort from the DTs this past week. More than any group, they were most responsible for the victory and are shaping into a nice group. Hopefully they can sustain this kind of physical domination (Wait, what the hell am I saying? This is the Eagles for Christ sake. They'll probably get thrashed by a non-existent Pats run game this week. Remember, no logic applies to this team from week to week).
2. Pass Wackiness Watch: Remember when the Eagles were completely balanced against the rather good Cowboy defense? Well, this resulted in an absolute clinic on the Cowboy defense. Of course, this was all thrown out the window the following two weeks, and mild pass wackiness against the Bears led to complete and total pass wackiness against the Cardinals. Not surprisingly, both losses.
This past week, largely due to the absence of Vick, the Eagles were again nicely balanced, 40 passes and 30 runs. Additionally, completely unlike Reid teams, they stayed with the run despite limited effectiveness early. Andy, you know what this did? It kept the Giants honest and they largely keyed on stopping McCoy, which opened up things for Vince Young in the passing game, and also, limited the intensity of the pass rush. Wow, this is a novel concept. It is remarkable to me that a man who has studied football his whole life, played major college football (on the line no less), coached in the NFL for almost 20 years, cannot see the correlation between his team's offensive balance and their success, and alternatively, their continued failure when dreaded pass wackiness takes over. Well, wait no longer folks as the Pats struggle stopping the pass, and well, here we go again….
3. Linebackers: I cannot remember the last time Eagles linebackers have played better than this past week. As discussed previously, Rolle and Chaney appear to have very good instincts and tools to boot (despite Rolle being a little undersized). Well, this was on full display this past week, as Rolle and Chaney were around the ball all night long. Rolle particularly shows great recognition, and just fires towards the ball. The rather underrated Collinsworth touched on this a few times in discussing the replays. Also, if you haven't noticed, my favorite whipping boy Moise "The Phantom" Fokou has finally been replaced after three long years of mysteriously doing absolutely friggin' nothing. Literally, nothing. It was an amazing run Moises, congratulations. Akeem Jordan took over, and played rather solidly, at least having his hand in a few plays. Granted, the Eagles are still in need of a upgrade at LB, but adding a stud prospect or even a solid free agent to Rolle and Chaney could make for a heck of a group next year.
4. Vince Young is not Dan Marino: I can just see it already, the WIP cretins calling for Young over Vick. Look, there is no doubt Young has a certain mojo when it comes to 4th quarter comebacks, some guys have this and it's obviously a great thing to have. Really, I think this has to do with a supreme confidence in being able to get it done, which no doubt was probably instilled in Young early, both in high school and certainly in college at Texas, and probably can be sensed by his teammates in these moments, which no doubt helps. But, confidence can also be a problem. For instance, Charles Manson was no doubt very confident in himself and this was obviously not a very good thing. Obviously, this is a VERY extreme example (sorry Vince), but you get the point. Confidence can only get you so far and delusion can get you into trouble. So, this would be my advice to Eagles fans: let's not get delusional. 4th quarter comebacks are great, but unfortunately (despite the Eagles M.O. this year) all games are not won in the 4th quarter in the NFL. Young's mechanics are just plain brutal and his arm strength is surprisingly limited, and this is not likely to win you games consistently in the NFL (Case in point: the jump ball moon balls all night long when single coverage was begging to be beaten). However, to his credit, Young's decision making was very good, and he looked to the right spots on the field all night long and this was more than I thought he was capable of. Maybe Vick (and Andy) can learn from this. In order to beat a team like the Pats, the Eagles will certainly need them to. But, let's not get confused. Vick needs to play (and play better) for this team to succeed.
5. Desean carries himself like an 18 year old boy (and not just physically): Look, I love Desean. He is amazingly exciting when he is engaged and on. Probably right up there with any Eagle in history as far as excitement. But, he is also dreadfully immature. Despite being a little melodramtic, Collinsworth and Michaels were right on Sunday night. Jackson needs to grow the fuck up, and he did himself a huge deservice on Sunday. Yes, did he make some huge plays and help get the win? Sure. But, he looked like a petulant child in the process and only highlighted the fact that he has not been bringing it at all this season, and probably costing his team victories in the process.
Think NFL owners will be lining up to pay this guy like Larry Fitzgerald after that? Granted, owners always surprise me with their ability to blow money, but I doubt this is the case. Here's a note of advice to Jackson: Be an adult and recognize what you are, a speedy playmaking receiver on the order of say a Santonio Holmes (in fact a little better). Take this type of contract and end this nonsense. Something tells me the Eagles would do this in a heartbeat (or perhaps would have), but Rosenhaus has convinced Jackson he is on par with the best receivers in the league. Well, you're not, because you're only 5'9″. Just accept it. Stop being delusional as to your value. Until he does, he's clearly going to be a problem. I blame the Eagles for this as well. You cannot have players like Jackson in this situation. Didn't they learn this with TO? Sometimes certain mercurial players are worth giving a little extra to keep them happy, and this probably could have been resolved long ago. Trouble is, we may be too far gone now and they are 4-6. Way to stick to your guns Eagles, it only cost us a season. In other words, shit or get off the pot with Jackson, as this "wait and see" approach with diva receivers clearly doesn't work.
So, where does this leave us? Who the fuck knows. This team is as unpredictable as weather patterns. I wouldn't be surprised if they blew out the Patriots or got blown out. But, at least we have life for one more week.

We have a winner for my 1K FB Giveaway! Thank you to all who entered and referred a friend. I truly, truly appreciate it!
#10 Lisa Pierson is my winner! Congrats Lisa you can email me at firstname.lastname@example.com for details. Thank you!
Last week the first round of my brand new Newsletter went out. This will be sent out every few months. If you signed up after the initial mailing or need to sign up, here is the special I announced..I was going to wait until Saturday, but my weekend is very busy and I don't want to forget!
I have already booked a few of these appointments and some certificates have been purchased. Make sure to book early.. I will be taking the month of December to spend with my family and celebrate the Holidays. I won't be taking on any new sessions after these book up, except newborns, until 2012. 603.638.3014
I am a hypocrite.. I admit it. I don't necessarily feel like my "likes" on fb defines my business. However, being in a new place, I would like to see some new faces too! Word of Mouth has been my biggest, amazing advertisement. I am so thankful when people do refer me. It makes me feel all warm and gushy inside knowing the love of my chosen career makes people happy and they love and appreciate custom portraiture as much as I do. In a business where most prosumer cameras' price points are pretty reasonable and having a photography "business" is easy as addding "photography" to your name, it's a challenge to set yourself apart.

LeBron's Quest for Immortality
With a title in hand, the next step for King James is to secure his legacy
By Bill Simmons onAt the relatively tender age of 28, he stands alone on the mountaintop, unquestionably the most famous athlete on the planet and one of its most famous citizens of any kind. We've heard it so often that it's now a cliche, though nonetheless accurate: He transcends sports."
— Sports Illustrated
You thought that was about LeBron, didn't you? Nope. Jack McCallum wrote that about Michael Jordan nearly 21 years ago, in December of 1991, as the lead paragraph of the magazine's "Sportsman of the Year" feature. When Danny Biasone's 24-second shot clock saved the NBA in 1954, the same year of Sports Illustrated's launch, it inadvertently positioned the magazine as the mainstream media's stamp of approval anytime an NBA star either revolutionized the sport or transcended it. In 1956, they dubbed Bob Cousy a "creative genius" and "nothing less than the greatest all-round player in the 64-year history of basketball." In 1963, they celebrated Bill Russell's brilliance and called him "the most remarkable basketball player of our time." And it just kept going from there. Five years before Jordan's 1991 coronation, Larry Bird adorned the magazine's cover with the headline "The Living Legend," which featured a barrage of gushing quotes and wondered if Bird's supremacy had surpassed even Russell and Kareem. As usual, Bird was the one who ended up putting everything in perspective.
"All I know is that people tend to forget how great the older great players were," (said) Bird. "It'll happen that way with me, too."
Now we're doing this dance with the latest object of everyone's affection, LeBron James, the best basketball player in 20 years. We spent nearly nine years picking him apart before he flipped the narrative, borrowing the finest qualities of Bird, Magic and Jordan and blending them together into a superstar smoothie during last year's playoffs. When his team needed him to score, he unleashed the most complicated inside/outside game since Jordan's second prime. When they needed him to create shots for teammates, he found them wide-open over and over again. When they needed rebounds, he pounded the boards like Barkley or Moses in their primes. When they needed to slow down an opposing scorer, he guarded that player and the player stopped scoring (no matter what position he played).
LeBron James churned out 44 minutes a night, every other night, for eight straight weeks without ever wearing down. He played two of the greatest two-way playoff basketball games in the history of the league: Game 4 at Indiana (40 points, 18 rebounds, nine assists) and Game 6 at Boston (45 points, 15 rebounds, only seven missed shots), then threw on a Larry Bird 2.0 costume in the Finals, destroyed Oklahoma City in the low post, liquidated the media's absurd "LeBron or Durant?" argument and averaged a triple-double in the deciding two games. I called it a "virtuoso basketball performance" at the time, but really, it was more of a watershed athletic achievement — no different than Roger Bannister breaking the four-minute mile or Carl Lewis trying to jump 30 feet. You shouldn't be able to play basketball like that.
For the first time in a long time, someone made the sport of basketball feel like a Little League game with one of Those Kids — you know, those oversize five-tool freaks who seem like they're 20 when they're really just 12. I will never forget sitting next to my father during Game 6 of the Celtics series, both of us getting shamed into silence because LeBron couldn't miss, waiting for him to sweat, waiting for him to tire, waiting for any sign that he was human. It just wasn't happening. The last time I felt that helpless during a sporting event, Jordan and Pippen were ripping through a pathetic Celtics team in the mid-'90s — they were playing at such a high level, we couldn't help showing our appreciation by cheering them when they finally came out. What else could you do? When were we going to see something like that again? Two guys covering the whole court? Two guys playing that beautifully together? What if we never saw that again? Didn't we have to acknowledge it? Didn't we have to let them know that we knew?
LeBron peaked in a similar way during those last two and a half playoff rounds, and really, you couldn't blame him if he coasted from here — his hunger satiated, his point proven, the monkey pulled off his back and subsequently stomped to death. Everyone handles this moment differently. Jordan (1991), Magic (1987), Walton (1977), Hakeem (1994) and Bird (1986) returned more inspired than ever, but it was the worst thing that ever happened to Shaq — after his 2000 title, he realized his immense physical advantages allowed him to enjoy his summers, use regular seasons to work himself into shape, then take over when it truly mattered. And he was right — the Lakers won two more titles that way, even if they left another three on the table.
Wilt suffered as well: After briefly embracing controversial things like "teamwork" and "unselfishness" and defeating Russell's Celtics and winning his first championship in 1967, he couldn't maintain the momentum. He measured his own worth by numbers, not team success. The following year, Wilt went overboard with the "unselfish" gimmick, desperately tried to lead the league in assists (he did), then mysteriously stopped shooting in the second half of an eventual Game 7 loss to Boston. They traded him to Los Angeles a few months later. So much for Wilt "getting it."
So there's definitely a fork in the road with the "Year after The Year." The good news? There's an overwhelming amount of evidence that LeBron is heading toward that Jordan/Bird/Magic direction. When we were taping a television segment for ESPN last week, Magic Johnson mentioned how LeBron's "off the court" was catching up to LeBron's "on the court." In other words, he gets it now — that there's a cause and effect between how you spend your offseason and what actually happens during that season. We finished the segment and spent the next few minutes bullshitting about LeBron. Magic mentioned that LeBron could taste it now; he could tell by their phone calls over the summer. He believed Pat Riley's impact was so much more underrated than anyone realizes, that Riley has a way of just staying in your ear, appealing to you as a friend and a competitor, never letting up, never letting you stop thinking about what's next. Riley wouldn't push it that hard unless he thought LeBron wanted it. And Magic thought LeBron wanted it.
"It's like eating steak if you've never had steak," Magic said. "Once you taste it, you want more of it."
After LeBron spent his first eight seasons regarding the low post with genuine disdain, it took a humiliating 2011 Finals series for someone blessed with Karl Malone's body and Jordan's footwork to change his thinking. Once upon a time, Bird started the trend of using every summer to add one new weapon to his game, something Magic quickly copied, and then Jordan, Hakeem and Kobe used to their advantage the following two decades. Why wasn't LeBron following suit? For years and years, that was the easiest way to criticize him. As long as someone with LeBron's basketball intelligence refused to use what should have been his biggest advantage (an inside/outside game), then we couldn't believe in him. We wondered if he was destined to become the next Shaq or Wilt, someone with all the talent in the world who just couldn't harness those prodigious physical gifts and even worse, didn't totally care.
Everything changed in the summer of 2011, and thanks to our friends at CourtVision, you can actually see how his offensive game matured. LeBron spent this summer working on his own version of Magic's junior sky hook (even asking the master for a few tips). Meanwhile, the Heat's offensive philosophy has evolved with him — they're gravitating toward a strategy that Holland's soccer team famously tried during the 1970s, something of an offensive Nirvana, where positions don't matter and players aren't pigeonholed with a formulaic set of expectations. For all we know, Miami might eliminate the sport's two most famous positions completely — point guard and center — so they can surround LeBron with Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh and two shooters (Ray Allen, Shane Battier, Mario Chalmers, etc.) 90 percent of the time.
You know what was really frightening? When Erik Spoelstra said the words, "Thinking conventionally that first season with LeBron — that was my biggest regret as a coach. I put LeBron in a box. And that's the worst thing I could have done." As a Celtics fan, I read those words and thought to myself, Good God, we're all screwed."
Of course, none of this would matter if LeBron didn't want it — and in this case, the word "it" covers "multiple titles," "dominance" and "true greatness" — but by all accounts, he does. During the Summer Olympics in London, observers were pleasantly surprised by a subtle shift in LeBron's personality: less clowning, more leading, more measuring himself against the other guys. Four years ago, he may have spent an hour shooting half-court shots. In 2012, he kept throwing himself into shooting contests with Durant and Kobe, determined to prove he could hold his own. Anytime one of the USA practices became heated and turned into something of a dick-measuring contest, something that tends to happen when you gather the best players in the world on the same floor, LeBron left little doubt who mattered most. By all accounts, he was clearly the best player on the team. And it wasn't close.
In 2008, when things were falling apart during that gold-medal game against Spain, everyone deferred to Kobe. In 2012, during a similar moment in the gold-medal game, there was an unforgettable stretch when Coach K frantically signaled for LeBron, then LeBron sat at the scorer's table for what felt like three hours, waiting for a dead-ball whistle so he could reenter a game that was suddenly slipping away. Finally, a crumbling Carmelo Anthony whipped a pass into the stands — inadvertently, his best play of the Olympics since it allowed LeBron to come back in — and within a few minutes, everything was fine. (LeBron made a dagger 3 and a backbreaking drive.) I can still remember sitting in the stands, freaking out, glancing over at LeBron at the scorer's table, wondering if he was ever getting back in, feeling like we were screwed if it didn't happen soon. You couldn't crystallize what happened last summer better than that.
You know who summed up LeBron's ascension better than anyone? My old friend Isiah Thomas! The same guy who saved my NBA book with "The Secret" of basketball dropped a little more wisdom to Sports Illustrated this week, explaining LeBron's current mind-set by saying, "Think about what I'm saying here. On the planet Earth, there is nobody better than you, and that gives you the confidence to walk around and say, I'm bigger than you, I'm better than you, and the only thing you can hope for is that I'm having a bad night."
That's exactly what it means to be LeBron James right now. The only thing that can stop him? If Dwyane Wade resists being relegated to "LeBron's sidekick" status again. During the last three weeks of the 2012 playoffs, their uneasy alpha-dog battle was resolved as organically as possible — Wade's aching knee forced LeBron to assume a bigger offensive burden, and just like that, Miami's team fell into place. To borrow a word from the great Bob Ryan, the Heat's calibration finally made sense. Everything ran through LeBron, with Wade reinventing himself as a new-wave Pippen almost on the fly. He spent the summer fixing his knee and getting himself into phenomenal shape, blowing everyone away during the preseason and leaving the door ajar — just a little — that he might not be ready to throw on that Robin costume again.
Then again, who has it better than Dwyane Wade right now? What if this was the plan all along? What if Wade and Riley were scheming years ago, We'll never be able to beat LeBron if he finds the right team, we need him on our side — we'll push him to another level, ride him to a few titles and never let him know that we were pulling the strings all along? Now that LeBron has established himself as the league's most dominant player, there's an overwhelming chance that Wade is delighted by this — it just means less work for him, right? And if that's the case, I am fully preparing for the monster LeBron season to end all monster LeBron seasons: 65 wins, 27 points a game, 10 rebounds a game, maybe even (gulp) 10 assists a game. Oh, while changing the way we watch and think about basketball, much like Cousy in 1956, or Russell in 1963, or Bird and Magic in the '80s, or Jordan a decade later.
And yeah, with the greatest basketball season in 20 years looming, I understand it's easy to get distracted by admittedly juicy story lines like the Lakers trotting out four future Hall of Famers, or two suddenly juicy Nets-Knicks and Clippers-Lakers rivalries, or Derrick Rose's potential comeback, or possible leap seasons for Rajon Rondo (a runner-up MVP candidate) and Kyrie Irving (as a top-15 guy), or Oklahoma City's "kids" using last year's bitter Finals defeat as motivation for a possible Eff You season. Just know that it's all window dressing — fun subplots to pass the time, keep us engaged, keep us arguing, keep us watching. From a big-picture standpoint? History says LeBron James is getting ready to destroy everybody. No other angle really matters.
If it happens — and I think it will — that means two straight titles and four MVP trophies in five years (something only Russell's ever done). For the first time, we could start thinking about him in Jordanian terms. What would it take for LeBron to pass Michael? Does he need six titles to get there? What if he ended up with five titles and six MVPs while also creating the 35-10-10 club (35,000 points, 10,000 assists, 10,000 rebounds)? Would that be enough? And if he continues to break ground as a power point guard — Bird 2.0 crossed with Magic, basically — shouldn't it matter that he created a new position? Also, how have we not hit LeBron's ceiling yet after nine years? Can we really go higher than what we witnessed last June? How high can this go? How long can this last?
For the first time, I feel myself starting to waver a little. Maybe Michael Jordan won't remain the greatest basketball player ever. Maybe we were wrong.
Of all the themes that have me excited for this upcoming NBA season, I keep circling back to that one. We love sports for dozens and dozens of reasons, but ultimately, the seasons and teams and championships blend into one blurry mess. You're going to be 80 years old someday and unable to remember 99.7 percent of it. Only a handful of athletes will stand out, and when someone asks if you watched them, your face will start glowing, and you'll start gushing about them, and for a few seconds, you will come to life again. Usually it's someone with unforgettable athletic ability (say, Usain Bolt or Bo Jackson), a supernatural mastery of his craft (Bird, Gretzky and Magic) and/or an indomitable will to conquer everyone else (Jordan, Ali and Russell). But when someone resonates in all three ways at the same time? Those are the ones we defend forever. We sing their praises, recall them on our deathbeds, tell everyone who wants to hear that we were there.
Those are the stakes for LeBron James this season. He already won a championship. Now he's battling for something else.

The problem is that you can't embed a video in the answer, and it's something I've answered over and over again in posting and reposting "Why I Love Science".
But I'll repost the video again here... with a word of explanation.
The voice you hear on the video is that of my young (then about 12 years old) autistic daughter. The emotion in her voice? Well, most of the family seems to feel that way all the time when confronted with the natural world.
I hope they get it from me.

JD did the same thing when I lost my voice a few weeks ago. Then he got frustrated and started telling me to "speak up and stop mumbling." Nothing quite like having your words turned back around on you.

You can also watch MacGyver for free on Netflix - the watch instantly option. I only know because Donivan watched the shows online. I've still never seen an episode (and don't really plan to).

Really? I've looked for MacGyver there but so far haven't found it. They do have Quantum Leap there. :)

What does it mean ? I know it can`t be good. I`m assuming that is because of raised power draw. But I tought that can handle OCing it is PLATINUM for god sake.
Are you possitive it is the mobo and not the PSU? Either way Id get it sorted, as if one goes it may take casualties with it when it pops!
I tought that is PSU and this is fourth PSU in one month. I get from 450w then 550w then 680w and now this 650w and all were buzzing. Now I think it is mobo I don`t think that all PSU were buzzing.
I have had PSU that buzz even if the PC not started just power cable attached and yes they were about to die.
Take it out of the case, lay it out on an insulated surface but try and keep different components (IE optical drives, PSU etc) as far away from the motherboard as possible. Then turn on and try and find the source of the buzzing. I had a PSU that whined, couldn't work out where the sound was actually coming from until I did that. TBH though I'd be very careful, back off your overclock because it could be something being overtaxed, never a good thing.
I`m not worried that some thing is going to die I`m just worried that it is going to take its time and I`m going to be stuck with the buzz.
PS3 buzzes too when under heavy load (F@H); so did my Pentium M 1.86 (overclocked to 2.2ghz) when running CPU-Tests on 3D Mark. I've also heard cases of Merom mobile CPUs buzzing when in super low frequency mode (mine buzzes too, but it is a lot more silent than the spinning of the 5400rpm HDD, quite unhearable); very weird...
All electrical components make noise, that's why it's never truly silent a room that has electrical equipment (like mine ) however when it gets to an audible/annoying level there tends to be a problem.
my graphic card makes a weird buzz when the game plays the intro and stuff like that, the more FPS, the louder the noise..
nothing wrong with my fan.. working fine.. dunno why it does that.. in crysis, with the EA intro, it goes up to 3000+ FPS and it does that buzzing noise..

STR- multilane streets
Multi lane streets are streets that have more than one lane in a direction. They create problems for cyclists because of left turns. However there are other problems with sharing multi lanes streets:
One is that higher speeds are sustained on these streets- ten or more miles per hour higher. Any speed over 20 mph is a problem for the average cyclist and multi lanes streets can get as high 50 mph posted limit.
Reduced space in the right lane because lanes a shareable lane was reduced to make way for more lanes.

Not a place you will write home about. The food and service was good but not great. The selection was fine but a little pricy. We would go there again but not on a exclusive basis. Guess what I'm trying to say is it's average no more no less.

The food this year was very bland, lack of seasoning, plain, no flavor. Been coming here every year for work for the last 15 years and this was the worst. Server was excellent, bartenders need training.
We ate here twice in one week and it seemed to be popular with both locals and tourists. The menu wasn't comprehensive, but it was good. Our main complaint was that it was not open for lunch.
The food is great and the prices reasonable. We have eaten there several times and if you pick a window seat, you have a marvelous view of the North entrance to the harbor.
Go on Friday or Saturday night for Under the Moose, a local band that plays 60's-10's rock and folk music.
We ate here twice, so far. Every time we left stuffed and happy! One night I had a halibut filet served over a creamy carrot polenta. I've been craving that polenta ever since! Even my teenager loved the polenta (and her halibut!). They offer broccoli kohlrabi which I appreciate as a healthy, tasty side option. Not many restaurants offer it... More

Newtown Memorial Fund Designated as Charity Partner with New York Road Runners for ING New York City Marathon
Sending Team to Race in Support of Mission
Newtown, Conn., Oct. 29 2013 –A team of people with t-shirts emblazoned with "Newtown Heals, Newtown Runs" will be running 26.2 miles on November 3, 2013. The Newtown Memorial Fund, Inc., a sustainable fund created to support those affected by the Sandy Hook Elementary School tragedy, is a Bronze Level Charity Partner with the New York Road Runners Club (NYRR) for the ING New York City Marathon. This honorable distinction provides a block of automatic entries in the race and enables individuals worldwide to join the Newtown Memorial Fund team to raise funds on the non-profit's behalf.
People from all over the country, including Wisconsin, Ohio, Illinois, New York, New Jersey, as well as many from the Newtown area, have joined the marathon team, which has raised close to $30,000 to date through its Crowdrise team page. In addition to raising money for its own mission, Newtown Memorial Fund also made race spots available to Newtown charities started by parents of those lost on December 14, 2012. Their fundraising is captured by their individual team pages on Crowdrise.
"We are honored to be part of a most prestigious fitness event in a location so close to our community," said Brian Mauriello, Founder, Newtown Memorial Fund Inc. "Volunteers from Newtown Memorial Fund reached out to NYRR to participate in the marathon because we understood the incredible healing power of running. The charity distinction gave Newtown runners and the town's supporter access to this world-class, healing event."
The ING New York City Marathon is one of the world's most iconic races. During the 26.2-mile journey through the five boroughs of New York City, more than 48,000 runners will experience the sights and sounds of the city, cheered on by approximately two million spectators and entertained by hundreds of bands for inspiration every step of the way.
The Newtown Memorial Fund continues to receive donations daily through its Crowdrise page. The nonprofit also had teams raising funds on its behalf at the Boston Marathon, Big Sur International Marathon, ING Hartford Marathon and Seattle Rock 'n' Roll Marathon, and will have teams at future races including the Walt Disney World Disney Marathon. Ally McDonald alone raised more than $36,000 for the fund as she ran the Boston and Big Sur races. Newtown Memorial Fund is also the beneficiary of all funds raised through the Sandy Hook Run for Families 5k race on March 29, 2014 in Newtown.

unsatisfactory, Apr 24, 2004 |
reviewer: Adam A. Phillips
from USA |
This comment will be short and sour. Upon our arrival we were greeted by cart handlers offering transportation for our group of three players and a matron of ceremony. Although we arrived well before our scheduled tee time we were herded to the first tee in order to sqeeze in a player that was late. In my opinion the times were set for players too closely and with no consideration for handicap. My party struggled to keep an obvious pace of the course. It was on the back nine when my party was approched with an idea of closing a two-hole gap to increase the course's revenue instead of my enjoyment. I looked at my son and calmly left from that very hole. If my time is going to be compromised I will be getting paid, not paying for it. The realization that your course has been infested by money makers instead of sportsmen with a love of the game was disappointing and the chance of our return to your establishment is dependent upon the reactions of this response. |

A Real Find!, Apr 10, 2004 |
reviewer: Tim O'Connor
from Ireland |
The first thing we found impressive was the service. Carts arrived before we had switched off our engine; Brian checked us in and out with a smile, while the owner Spike Kelly revealed his Irishness with a genuine welcome and tales of a recent visit to the emerald isle. A hot snack was ordered, served and consumed, all within three minutes, a record. Bill, the starter, loves the place so much that he lives on it, in one of the beautiful homes alongside the 10th. The pace was annoyingly slow when we played, but all the better to enjoy the sunshine and appreciate the configuration and beauty of the course. It really is a fine lay-out, generously wide for the high handicapper, cunningly trapped for the low player and terrific greens which can be either cruel or kind depending on the disposition of the pin-placer. (He might have been having a nervous breakdown the day we played!). The signature hole (the short 4th)is certainly as good as any par three anywhere, while the elevated greens make the par fours real tests. We gave this one 3 stars only because it is going through a remodelling and because the recent drought has slowed the healing process. We'll be back in Augusta for the Masters next year to award the remaining two stars that Goshen deserves. Tim O'Connor Captain Druids Glen Golf Club, Wicklow Ireland. |

Definition of 'Permutation'
In mathematics, one of several ways of arranging or picking a set of items. The number of permutations possible for arranging a given a set of n numbers is equal to n factorial (n!). So, a set of three numbers can be arranged as: 3x2x1 = 6 permutations. Another type of permutation involves choosing a set of i items out of n choices. In this case, the number of permutations for choosing i items given n choices is given by n!/[(n-i)!]. Permutations are applicable to sets where the order matters; order does not matter in combinations.
Investopedia explains 'Permutation'
The study of permutations applies to finance in a broad sense because a good understanding of probability is sometimes necessary to make rational financial choices. The Allais paradox problem shows that on their own, people do not instinctually choose the higher expected financial reward. Given the choice between a sure amount of money and a small gamble with a higher expected value, most people choose the guaranteed amount due to behavioral biases. Financial professionals must be able to rationally evaluate such situations and make the correct choices on behalf of shareholders or clients.

Owned this vehicle just under 10 years. Drove it as a daily and ended up bagging it. Drove it bagged for 3-4 years with zero problems. Was bagged on nitrogen and this thing did not leak. I loved it because I could leave it aired up for weeks and months if I needed to!
It is now in Alabama. I got rid of it so I could get a Lincoln Continental – 1966

Old fashioned "hard boiled" Detective series with a Fantasy twist set in contemporary Chicago.
The author seems to have run out of ideas for what terrible thing can happen to the main character around book 11 and the first person narrative gets a little whiny around book 12.. but overall a strong series.

Harry Dresden's detective agency is not your average P.I. firm, and Harry is not your average P.I. Harry Dresden is a wizard. He's even in the phone book, but there's not a helluva lot of money in this line of work—his basement apartment's best asset is its dank sub-basement—so Harry consultants on some of the stranger cases that fall into the lap of the Chicago P.D. When the police request his presence at the scene of a double homicide, Harry jumps at the opportunity to get ahead on next month's rent. But the murders are bizarre, grisly, and unquestionably the result of dark art. Investigating this crime means danger of more than just the usual seedy-city-underbelly type. Harry will need to dodge sultry vampires, ticked-off faeries, and the quick-to-judge (and even quicker to punish) White Council. To make matters worse, suspicion soon falls on Harry himself—he does, after all, know magic. And nothing makes it harder to clear you name than the actual villain—a mysterious, powerful practitioner of the blackest of black magic—hot on your heels. Anything that can go wrong will go wrong, but it'll take more than that to knock Harry Dresden off a case. Supported by Harry's detailed back story and evolving relationships with characters human and inhuman alike, author Jim Butcher creates a gritty fantasy world that is firmly rooted in the real locations and history of the city of Chicago. Led by the likes of this wise-cracking, dry-humored, heroic young wizard-detective, Storm Front is irresistible.

There's more than one wizard named Harry. This Harry is no mere boy living in fantasyland; this Harry is a hardboiled detective working the mean streets of Chicago. When the police department has a case that runs to the supernatural they turn to Harry Dresden, because he's good at what he does—well, okay, he's the only one who does what he does. But he needs rent money, so someone starts using black magic to murder his victims, Harry takes the case. But this is not an easy case to crack. The White Council of Wizards pegs Harry as the killer. The cops are suspicious. A mob boss wants Harry out. And then there's Bianca, the sexy vampire, and British Bob, the ancient talking skull. Author Jim Butcher juggles all the weird and wacky with aplomb, throwing in a pinch of fantasy here and a dash of horror there to make this classic loner-detective a little more than interesting. Harry is a sympathetic, likeable guy for all his grumbling, and readers who like their magic with a healthy dose of sarcasm, irony, and humor will find themselves rooting for Harry Dresden as he sweeps the streets of Chicago clear of all its paranormal and supernatural dangers.

Harry Dresden is a hero who's having trouble paying his rent and keeping his car in repair. Butcher's sense of humor keeps Dresden a classic character. Much better than the Sci Fi channel series.

Classic AF limestone haul - who can forget the hype surrounding the one "big" feature 15 or so feet off the ground of License to Thrill. Since License went in, there have been many good limestone hauls established here and elsewhere, and nowadays it may be less of a thrill than it was a decade ago. Nonetheless, License is probably one of the not-to-miss classics at AF. I thought the crux was high, at or below the roof band where things are a bit spooky (there is a clip just over the roof, so don't give up!). Pumpy throughout.
Ten draws and a rope
Excellent route with fun strong moves, but unfortunately its a grease factory these days.
One of the few routes at American Fork that would be good at any climbing area in America. Classic.
overhanging from the getgo. pockets lead to the roof with good holds then you get a great rest. the top section is more technical with some nice exposed climbing and reaches.
Uber classic line!!!
Such a stellar climb and spot on for the grade! The climbing is steep and pumpy from the beginning all the way to the roof. There is a fantastic rest right under the roof. As soon as you commit to pull over the roof you'll come to another nice rest. The crux for me was as you begin to traverse right above the roof on a few slopey holds. The last clip is pretty much useless! A few of the pockets on the first half are fairly dirty. For 5.11 this is an AF must do!!!
Amazing climb! One of the greatest lines I've done. Super pumpy! I'm excited to work on the redpoint. The holds are bomber through to the crux. The crux is a long reach off some slopers about 8' above the roof. Super classic climb! A must do!
I agree with Neal's assessment that this climb would hold up at any climbing area. There's not a bad move on the thing or a crummy hold, just pumpy climbing pulling awesome, well-protected moves. I wish this thing was in my neighborhood, I would get as strong as a butter churning monkey.

It's not going so poorly, actually, the making contacts part. I am just out of practice at quantifying my skills and experience because I've just been dawdling along doing a whole bunch of things with no pressure for the past five years and now here we are. Well, except for that whole journalism school thing where I had to justify every fact of my existence every single day for almost two years. Hey, yeah, come to think of it that was pretty stressful. And also I've been on deadline for something real or imaginary in my brain pretty much every minute of every day since 2002. I am not so much about the mental vacations.
So, okay. Scratch the no pressure. But, really, what can I say when people ask me what I can do? I can write things, a lot of things, effectively. I can speak coherently. I can help you figure things out, tell you what looks good where on your website or where all of your typos are, really quickly. I can take pretty pictures.
That is not specific enough, I'm afraid. And so I re-learn how to package this package that is me, and that makes me nervous because I'm constantly red-penning everything, especially myself, and I'm out of practice with resumes. I have watched some really terrible television. I go for the occasional walk. I try really hard not to spend money, which, in the summer? Ugh. So I've been staying home a lot, in a house in a city that decided to skip May and head straight for August and our air conditioner is broken.
I did go to New York for a few days, on the Bolt Bus. That was really fun. I saw a really good, old friend who let me stay with her at her conference hotel and some newer blog friends and spent time kicking around the city. It felt good. I have pictures for months backed up or I'd show you some of the better ones, but here's my new favorite bar near Union Square from my phone.
The bartender was standard issue no-nonsense New York pub but he talked about the oil spill and made me cry.
I can't really look at many of the pictures of that, speaking of which. I feel like I'm not witnessing but I have to really limit myself. I found myself calling up some of the images in my head while I was driving yesterday and it is hard to drive when I'm crying. I am unsettled by the state of the world in general. I don't know how you can't be. I want to write something for the Love the Gulf project (via DebontheRocks) but I'm having trouble finding the words.
I want a new blog. I need to carve out a few days to understand SquareSpace.
Speaking of walking, which I believe I did up there somewhere, the exercise is going so-so and that has been the big come-to-Jesus this week. When my routine changes things tend to fall apart in that department. I had been going to kickboxing at L.A. Boxing three times a week for over a month. The scale wasn't really moving, although in either direction so that was almost okay, because I was loving it. It wasn't boring and I felt like I was getting back in some kind of shape, then I stopped working and one excuse led to another and there I was on Thursday night, blocked and afraid to go back because I knew it would be so difficult. I cursed myself because for the thousand-millionth time in my life I'd done it, I'd fallen off of an exercise schedule that was really working, that was making at least one part of my life feel in good, stable shape, and I'd blown it.
Stupid schedules. Stupid brain. Stupid stuff that I can't break through sometimes no matter how hard I try when the inertia takes over.
So I went back to the gym, doing the thing I know I need to do in this mind over matter situation and got in the car in spite of the fact that I didn't want to and didn't feel like it. It was hotter than it is in my house in there but I got my favorite bag in the corner and kicked out a lot of the stress and frustration and anxiety of the week. And I didn't die. I felt a little less stressed, even.
Look, face all sunshiny like the hand of HEAVEN blesses exercise.
Not really. Just flare.
I felt a lot weaker during and after class than I had felt even two weeks ago. I need to go back regularly. I need to recommit. The instructor looked at me quizzically but didn't ask me where I'd been and I still felt compelled to babble an excuse at the end, anyway, like he was my platoon leader or something. I take things too damned seriously. But how many times have I said that I can't stop because then it's so hard to start again, unlike other things that I can't stop if I tried forever? How many times has this happened? I know I'm strong. I know I have endurance. I know this isn't even entirely about my body, that my mind is so much better off when I'm burning off all of the nervous energy and feeling good about meeting physical challenges.
And yes, it is a kick to see my arms have some definition.
I am mad, I am so MAD that I've gained back 23 pounds, even though I know how hard it is for me to lose, I know how much harder it is, even, for me to maintain, no matter what the motivational police say. This is a difficult, difficult process for me. I know it. I know it. I know I can't get all negative and crazy about it or I'll stay on the downward spiral. The shame diet, as some idiot broadcaster said on the news the other night, does not work for me in any way. But still? Mad mad mad.
And then my sister and my mother reminded me of a race we'd been planning to do for awhile. It's tomorrow in Annapolis, with a bunch of our friends. It is a 10k that my mother and I -- at least -- will mostly walk, but it's a 10k anyway. My nurse practitioner (who is way better than any doctor I've ever had besides the one who fixed my face, by the way) said a few weeks ago that I should walk every day for 15 minutes just to remind myself that I was moving forward, or maybe just so I could say that I was. I haven't been following that direction either and I'm not sure I can make it all up in one day, though.
Ha. Ha. Ha. Ten kilometers. Tomorrow. I don't even know how many miles that is.
But you're reading some ramblings of a sucker who's about to get into her car and drive to Annapolis, yeah you are.
