Sly & The Family Stone weren't singing the praises of the Meckle family in 1971 when they recorded their number one hit, but they could have been. Earlier this year in March, Dr. Joseph Meckle, D.C., who has had a chiropractic practice here in Lyons for nearly thirty years, had the honor of watching his two daughters, Carly and Jenny, graduate from the Palmer Chiropractic College in Florida.
The young women, both graduates of Lyons High School (Carly in 2002, and Jenny in 2005) received their Bachelor of Science Degrees from Colorado State University in Fort Collins in 2009.

There is an old saying in the hills of West Virginia; "If ya wanna run with the big dogs, ya gotta come out from under the porch." Monday night in Bohn Park, the Natural Disasters came out from under the porch, chased down the big dog (Blue Mountain Stone), and bite him on the backside. Playing in their final game of the regular season, the Disasters were determined right from the outset. Holding their opponents scoreless in the first inning, the Disasters rocked BMS for five scores in the bottom half of the frame. Being down at all, never mind by five runs after one inning is not something the Quarry Workers are accustomed to. With their interest now piqued, Blue Mountain Stone started to get back into the game. With two runs in the second, and

SEE ALSO: Ex-husband says victim loved animals, gardening and going to the beach
Ross William Crawford was supposed to be on house arrest Friday when he allegedly killed estranged girlfriend C. Jennifer Dowell in her Manchester Township home, then slashed his own neck and arms in a botched suicide attempt.
He'd been out of prison less than three weeks.
Criminal court filings spanning nearly three years tell part of the story of the on-again, off-again relationship between Dowell and Crawford.
Northern York County Regional Police filed charges against Crawford over and over -- for arson, aggravated assault, simple assault, burglary, making terroristic threats, unlawful restraint, theft and other alleged offenses.
On Friday, police charged Crawford, 41, of 570 Harvest Drive in Manchester Township, with Dowell's homicide.
Police said Crawford killed the 53-year-old Dowell by hitting her in the head. She'd been dead at least 24 hours when a concerned co-worker discovered Dowell's sheet-covered body inside her 507 Cedar Village Drive home.
That friend also saw Crawford inside the apartment, covered in blood and holding a knife, according to police.
Crawford remains in York Hospital, recovering from his wounds. Northern Regional Police Lt.
David Lash described them as being potentially life-threatening.
Under guard: Crawford is under guard at the hospital by county sheriff's deputies, according to Lash. After he's released from the hospital, he'll be taken to York County Prison without bail.
Crawford had been locked up there from March 14 until May 21 on a probation violation for a 2010 case in which Dowell was the victim. His probation was violated because he incurred a new charge on March 6 -- a summary harassment citation, again with Dowell listed as the victim, according to court records.
Dowell testified against Crawford at the March 14 hearing for that summary offense, and Crawford was found guilty.
His probation officer then filed a probation-violation petition on the 2010 case and had Crawford committed to prison.
House arrest? On May 21, as part of an agreed-upon resolution between the prosecution and defense, Crawford was released from prison and ordered to spend nearly four months on house arrest, according to defense attorney Ron Gross.
Gross said it's his understanding that at the time of the homicide, Crawford was still waiting for the county to set up his house-arrest monitoring.
Gross hasn't had the chance to speak with Crawford since the homicide, and said he doesn't know whether he'll be representing Crawford for it.
Although Dowell testified against Crawford at the March 14 hearing, that was not always the case, according to court records.
No victim, no crime: Sometimes charges against him -- including serious ones -- were dismissed because she wouldn't appear to testify against him.
A temporary protection from abuse order Dowell obtained against Crawford on Aug. 24, 2010, was dismissed with prejudice a few weeks later when she failed to appear for a hearing on the matter, records state.
In that petition, Dowell stated Crawford had set her home on fire, physically assaulted her and destroyed all her personal and business records.
"When I was representing him, she didn't want him in jail," Crawford's previous defense attorney, Suzanne Smith, recalled. "She would ask me how to get him out of jail, and when he'd be eligible for release. ... I encouraged them both to stay away from each other because bad things always happened when they were together."
'Unhealthy': But both Crawford and Dowell would tell Smith they loved each other, Smith said.
"They had a very unhealthy relationship," Gross said.
Dowell's ex-husband, James Dowell of Manchester Township, said he believes Jen Dowell was scared of Crawford.
"This guy was evil. He threatened her all the time," he said. "At first, she'd go to see him in jail. I told her, 'You've got to stop this.' She said she had feelings for him."
James Dowell said he feared Crawford would hurt Jen Dowell. He said he doubts she was still seeing Crawford.
Lt. Lash said that's one of the questions police are still trying to answer.
"Was she having contact with him? Did he break into her house? It's too early in the investigation to say," Lash said.
Help available: Barbara Woodmansee, community education director of Access-York, said there are a number of reasons why some domestic-violence victims won't leave -- or press charges against -- an abusive partner. Some are afraid, she said, while others want to believe the abuser has changed.
"The dynamics of domestic violence are complex," Woodmansee said.
To get help for yourself, or to find out what you can do to help an abused loved one, call Access-York's 24-hour hotline at (800) 262-8444.

Unions sue again to block Michigan right-to-work law
LANSING, Mich. (AP) - Labor unions are asking a federal judge in Detroit to block part of Michigan's right-to-work law from taking effect in late March.
The lawsuit filed Monday is the second to challenge the law in recent weeks. It prohibits requiring workers to pay union dues or fees as a condition of employment.
Unions say the law can't apply to private-sector employees because it overreaches into any area controlled by the National Labor Relations Act. AFL-CIO lawyer Andrew Nickelhoff also says the law is an unconstitutional attempt to control workplace activities in federal areas such as dockyards.
An earlier suit challenges how the law was rushed through the Republican-controlled Legislature.
Supporters of right-to-work laws say they give employees greater freedom of choice. Opponents say they undermine the ability to unionize.

The atmosphere: Blue Ash resident Bob Davis had the goal of reviving a location that was known for good food and a good atmosphere and he's done just that with the Firehouse Grill.
The former firefighter has created a modern, relaxing environment inside the restaurant that fits a family meal, a business lunch or a quiet date night.
In the parking lot, you are greeted by a large Warren County Career Center fire truck, which makes for quite the photo opportunity. On a recent Saturday evening, we watched a family with children enjoying time in the fire engine.
Once inside, a very open lobby isn't too far from a monstrous, granite-topped bar. There are many high top tables as well as low tops and booths.
The outdoor patio could seat an entire fire station if needed, complete with a fireplace. If you're in the mood to catch one of the big games, you're in luck, the whole place has large flat screen TVs.
The night we were there, the Firehouse Grill was full of people enjoying a drink at the bar and a glimpse of the game as well as families catching up.
The food: Firehouse Grill doesn't have your typical bar fare. It's dinner menu, served after 4 p.m., has a lot of choices from salads to entrees such Mile High Meatloaf, gourmet pizzas and specialty burgers with names like Back Draft (very spicy with jalapeños and hot chili sauce) and The Cowboy (barbecue sauce and onion straws).
My date and I started the evening with an order of fried dill pickles, $6.99, panko-fried stackers with a side of buttermilk ranch sauce, and they were very good, still crisp even after being fried.
For an entrée I had the Blackfire Wrap, $8.99, a Jalapeno cheddar tortilla with Cajun chicken, carmelized onions, chipotle mayonnaise, Monterey Jack cheese, lettuce and tomatoes with a side of sweet potato fries for an extra $1.
This wrap had the right amount of heat to it, enough heat that I was downing my drinks. I couldn't tell if it was the tortilla, the mayonnaise, the chicken or the combination of the three that gave it the heat but I couldn't stop eating it.
My date decided to try a gourmet pizza and chose the West Coast ($9.99), which came piled high with artichokes, roasted red peppers, spinach, red onion and feta . It would have been enough for two people to share and the crust and flavors were spot on.
Since the main course was so great, we couldn't pass up dessert. I choose the crème brulee ($4.99, and homemade the waiter said) while my date had the Vanilla Bean Cheesecake ($5.99). The crème brulee was a much larger serving than what I'm used too and the custard was smooth and tasty. The cheesecake was perfect.
The drinks: The draft beer list is rotating but usually includes Samuel Adams Seasonal, Stella Artois, Stone IPA, Yuengling, Kentucky Bourbon Barrel Ale, Guinness and Mt. Caramel offerings. My date had a large Stella Artois on draft for $5.75.
As for wines, the restaurant has a large variety of whites and reds that range in price from $6-$11 a glass and $24-$36 a bottle. On Tuesdays, bottles are half price.
If you're in the mood for a mixed drink try a Firehouse Cosmo or the Pomegranite Martini, which is what I had. ($7.95, $5 on Mondays). They were so good I ended up having two.
The verdict: The Firehouse grill is sure to light your fire whether for lunch or dinner or just to wind down after a long day for a drink and appetizer, it's definitely worth checking out.

As it says, here: http://www.geforce.com/whats-new/articles/a-new-dawn-directx-11-demo-available-for-download/
less demanding means more optimization or winding down the quality settings? now thats something we would like to see more of in games too.. what kind of framerates are u getting in Ultra mode, Crap Daddy?
I just installed and run once until I was ousted by my son for a dota2 session havent seen any settings but by the framerates I assume it was ultra. worse than crisis dx10 very high with 8800gt... but same jawdropping feeling.
Sweet, something new to benchmark that should really be rough on newer systems. I'll be getting this right when I get home. Ty once again CD. I tried watching it at work and it stalled my internet/system to the point I had to end the process..lol..
I ran it again and again and a g a i n. Sorry, it's trippy. When I got back to the real world I could see steady 12 FPS... I think it's a better test than Furmark, more enjoyable. In 64bit exe which runs by default Afterburner can't display so make sure you run the32bit which you find in your install folder. In top left there's an arrow where you can set, well, the settings. It runs Ultra by default hence the 12FPS. It is really made for 690 or 680/70 SLI but nevertheless it is beautiful and runs smooth at the aforementioned 12-14 FPS on my card. Have fun.
I get anywhere from 17 - 20 fps throughout the entire demo with Ultra enabled at 2560x1440 using the computer listed in my specs.
Watched the video instead, is it just me or does it seem pointless to release a demo with such nice graphics only to ruin it with poor animation? The facial animation was especially creepy.
ran it once on my machine and it ran fine, around was it 28fps with Ultra and VSync on in "control mode" or what u call it, i need to check readme or something to see if u can get it to run automaticly a test or something ^^; re-ran it and i got around 16~21,4fps using TPU OSD and higher when my system could crank it up but not lower than 16fps.
Not sure if sarcasm or ignorance .... If the later, Dawn is the name of an nvidia Demo for the 5000 series cards years back (might be 6 or 7000 though ha ha) Dawn is the name of the fairy. This the same character but a new demo, hence the name.
It's creepy alright. (but the skin is pretty realistic) That's probably why NV is a company with lots of engineers and is making software and tech and not games. Although they support heavily the gaming industry.
Can I take a thanks away from you for this? If I could, I would.. Read then post, in that order please.. How are you guys monitoring fps? Fraps? I just ran it and it runs very well on one 680 gtx but there are times it stutters a bit. Very high end texture work here. Animations could use some work though, I agree. She had a pretty creepy smile and jerky movements.
Want to see how BA your system really is? Hit Tab while running it.. lol.... I get a steady 21 fps on my gtx 680. I overclock it to +100, +200 though and +2% voltage. Fraps is capping at 30 though, demo must lock at 30 fps I guess.
have u tried TPU's OSD that W1zzard has made? bcs i found out of it takes less resources than Fraps so in heavy gaming it should interfere less with the game than Fraps.
Just ran it Looks pretty damn detailed on the close up's I'm going to run it again with fraps see how many fps I get
When they get on a thread like this and they try to one-up each other is when they teach us what we don't know. You have to be more patient.
There is a AMD patch available chaps : ] Google for source! I get 15 FPS default settings(ultra mode on etc) at default clock speed for my card (900mhz) I get 18 FPS @1200mhz gpu /1375mhz ram Clock speed increase, it does nothing! As creepy as this is, the skin is phenomenal! The area at the base of the neck/collar bone honestly looks like it's a real person.
I ran the Demo and it's very smooth for me. I don't know if my settings are maxed or not? Do I just enable all the options in the 'Controls' menu?

Posted 8:26 AM 3/20/2013 : Sudanese immigrant takes on challenging courses at Amphi High
TUCSON - The Cambridge Academy is a rigorous series of classes with international standards taken in over 160 countries. Amphitheater High School is currently the only school in Tucson hosting Cambridge.
Now 14, Ajang Deng recalls an uneasy childhood in Sudan. He remembers often eating only one meal a day and poor living conditions at a refugee camp in Africa.
"The United States is like going to heaven!" said the Cambridge Academy student.
For Ajang heaven means having a chance at success and Cambridge, being a fast track to college seemed like the way to go.
"They can be done with the requirements of high school by their sophomore year and so that opens up a lot of opportunities. One of the greatest is being able to go to community college, being able to go to Pima for free, said Cambridge Academy instructor, David Rainie.
Finishing a four year course load in two years is no cake walk. The 105 Amphi Cambridge students are cramming multiple honors courses in at once. It all leads up to a board exam at the end of the year, and Ajang is doing everything he can to prepare.
"Every minute of every day he wants to improve. He wants to learn. He wants to end the day further ahead then he began the day. I think it's inspiring especially given where he's come from. The language barrier, the culture barrier," said Rainie.
Once living in poverty, Ajang dreams of being a doctor and given the obstacles he's overcome not much can slow him down.
"You get food, you take a shower every day. You get anything you want. So to be successful in the United States you just need to go to school, focus in school and you get successful," said, Deng.
Since the Cambridge program is only offered at Amphi Ajang travels on a city bus everyday from another part of town to get to class. It's a commute he does without hesitation and with college in mind.

This sale presents the discerning style of the late Lord and Lady Forte - keen collectors with an excellent eye for important, decorative and beautiful objects - alongside that of the inimitable tastemaker Françoise de Pfyffer, the glamorous decorator and designer whose prestigious career has spanned three decades; first as a contemporary art dealer and then as a decorator. Featuring over 340 lots in total, with estimates ranging from £500 to £250,000, the sale as a whole is expected to realise in the region of £1.5 million. Highlights include contemporary art, Alberto and Diego Giacometti bronze furniture, European Old Master paintings, English and European furniture and works of art, important Russian porcelain, silver, clocks and decorative objects.
Works of Art from the Collection of the late Lord Forte (Lots 1 - 205):
The Forte family name is synonymous with the world famous hotel brand established by the entrepreneurial magnate Charles Forte (1908-2007), who created a worldwide empire of restaurants and hotels from virtually nothing. Having opened his first milk bar on Regent Street, London, at the age of 26 in 1935, he built an impressive portfolio and a company which became FTSE 100 listed. He was awarded a knighthood in 1970 and was subsequently raised to the peerage, as a life peer, in 1982 as Baron Forte of Ripley in Surrey. The Forte legacy of excellence and luxury now lives on in the form of the Rocco Forte Hotels, a collection of five-star hotels.
Lord Fortes skill as a collector was highlighted by the resounding success of his L.S. Lowry collection, sold at Christies in November 2011; the most important collection of works by the artist ever to come to auction. The present group of 205 works from their Belgravia home is offered on behalf of Lord and Lady Fortes descendants and illustrates the breadth of this fascinating couples interests; from Russian Imperial porcelain (lots 100-103) and eighteenth-century Venetian views, by the Master of the Langmatt Foundation views (lots 50-52) to Lord Fortes desk chair (lot 152) or Lady Forte's collection of Neapolitan crèche figures (lots 131-138). This sale, with the inclusion of items such as gifts from King Umberto II of Italy (1904-1983) (lots 13-16), gives a rare glimpse into the private world of one of Britain's most illustrious businessmen.
Highlights include:
A pair of charming capricci [poetic imaginary compositions] by Francesco Guardi (Venice 1712-1793), were acquired 40 years ago (estimate: £50,000-70,000). It is thought that Guardi produced such works to suit the taste of Ventian patrons who preferred them to the straightforward topographic views of Venice which appealed to foreign tourists. These works repeat motifs such as ruined classical arches and churches, Gothic ruins and dilapidated bridges often inhabited by peasants, fishermen or washerwomen and sometimes elegantly dressed figures.
Nine Russian porcelain plates are offered from the Kremlin service, commissioned by Emperor Nicholas I in 1837. Made by the Imperial porcelain factory, St Petersburg, each of the four dinner plates and five serving plates are inscribed with red inventory numbers for the Winter Palace. The design was entrusted to the painter and future professor of the Academy of Arts, F.G. Solntsev and the motifs were inspired by 17th century Russian metalwork (estimate: £40,000-60,000).
A remarkable early 19th century Italian Royal ormolu-mounted lapis lazuli, porphyry, crystal and onyx inkstand, modelled as La Fontana dei Dioscuri, Rome and attributed to the workshops of Giuseppe Valadier, Rome, was given to Lord Forte at Christmas, 1983, by the children of the late King Umberto II of Italy in memory of their father who had been a friend of Lord Forte, (estimate: £20,000-40,000).
An Interior by Françoise De Pfyffer (Lots 210-349): Françoise de Pfyffer, the charismatic and glamorous decorator and designer, has had a prestigious career spanning three decades, first as a contemporary art dealer and then as a decorator. Based in Geneva but working throughout Europe and the Americas, her characteristic modern style and knowledge of contemporary art gained her much acclaim among her sophisticated international clientele. Paralelle, the gallery she opened in Geneva in 1975, represented artists such as Hockney, Bacon and César. During this early period, the renowned decorator Nicky Haslam was a great friend and supporter as was Heinz Berggruen (d. 2007), the internationally revered art dealer and collector, whose apartment in Geneva and house in Gstaad she decorated. Berggruen introduced Françoise de Pfyffer to many artists, one of them being Diego Giacometti, whose bronze furniture she admired and collected. Several of the other contemporary artists featured in this interior, such as Pavlos, Rotterdam and Uecker, she had met or known for many years. Françoise de Pfyffer made many acquisitions at Galerie Bonnier, both in Lausanne and also Geneva, which was managed by her great friend and contemporary Jan Rumquist. In all her projects, art played an important role, providing structure and meaning to the decorative mis-en-scène.
Situated on the étage noble of a Haussmannian building of grand proportions, the beautiful apartment from which this interior comes was decorated by Françoise de Pfyffer in the late 1990s. She selected many of the pictures and decorative arts and brilliantly mixed them with various inherited family treasures. Juxtaposing old and new works of art, Françoise de Pfyffer created a tranquil décor mainly with a palette of muted off-whites. In the drawing room and en suite dining-room, a painted striped pattern was applied to the walls, subtly matching the silk taffeta curtains and cotton chair covers. Contemporary works by Riopelle, Klein, Arman and Wesselman hung alongside Old Master pictures, 17th and 18th century furniture, early books and objets d'art. The result was a beautiful and spacious series of rooms, a sophisticated backdrop for an interesting collection of contemporary art, antique furniture and beautiful objects. One of the designers most accomplished interiors; it truly demonstrates the decorating genius of Françoise de Pfyffer.
Highlights include:
An arresting untitled painting, from 1953, by Jean-Paul Riopelle (1923-2002), marks an important period in the artists oeuvre: when he discovered what was to become his signature style of applying and smearing the paint with his palette knife (estimate: £150,000-250,000). Displaying an intricate mosaic of colour and forms, the painterly surface creates an interplay of contrasts and instills an intense awareness in the viewer of the activity of the artist who is known to have been a trance-like state - when applying the colours.
Fauteuil à tête de lioness, by Diego Giacometti (1902-1985), was acquired directly from the artist, circa 1975 1976 (estimate: £40,000-60,000). This striking chair illustrates the way that Diego Giacometti merged the world of sculpture and furniture design in to one remarkable whole, brought to life by the artists unique imagination, his sense of proportion. The elegant lionesss heads reflect the artists love of the animal world. Considering himself an artisan, Giacomettis aim was to create beautiful and useful objects. Elsewhere in the sale of works from this interior, a large 19th century decalcomania glass sphere, measuring 15 in. (38 cm.) diameter, present a quirky and decorative lot with a hint of the Surreal (estimate: £1,000-1,500).

The Republic audaciously attacked Dromund Kaas. Infiltrators and turncoats within the Empires ranks inflicted heavy damage to the capital, killing several high ranking officials in the process. The Republic was quick to distance itself from the attacks claiming it was a group of people not assosciated with them. However after extensive torture to one of the captured perpatrators, the truth was laid out. The Republic had ordered the attack in an attempt to cripple the Empires capital and to take out as many military officers as possible. Success for the Republic in this matter will be their downfall.
Dark Malgus, with the Dark Councils backing, formulated a plan to strike back at Republic. All out war would be crazy with both sides likely to destroy each other, so to tip the balance in the Empires favour, Malgus created Operation Fallout. The idea was simple where as carrying it out would not be. A small team of elite Sith and Imperial Military would be formed to precision strike targets of key importance to the Republic. Research stations, planets key to logistical operations, financial backers and many more would be taken, destroyed or killed. Why risk losing a full scale war against a full strength enemy when you can cripple them beforehand.
I've become slightly addicted to The Old Republic in recent weeks (damn you Bioware!) and as such my interest in Star Wars is growing. So I would like to start an RP based roughly around what goes on in the game. Basically everything will be quite open ended in terms of where we will go and what the characters will be able to do. The time is roughly around the time of the game. During missions there will be moments where I will roll a dice to pick a player to choose an option within the game, such as whether to spare or kill someone, steal something for themselves etc.
1. You don't need to be a Star Wars buff to join (because i'm not), but some experience with The Old Republic game would be good. I mean i'm only level 25 at the minute but you can pick up quite a few things early on in terms of key characters.
2. Obviously I don't really need to say it but it is always worth mentioning, no being God.
3. All characters will be Imperial (sorry no Jedi) and ideally there will be a good range of character types. I don't want to end up with everyone running round carrying lightsabers lol. Classes and Race will be limited to what is playable in The Old Republic (locked races will be allowed).
4. In terms of the skills/power/weapons/support items your character has, again this will be limited to what your class has access to in the game. So no Force Lightning for an Imperial Sniper.
5. Alignment will be open so people can be more to the light side as much as it is an option in the game or they could just be totally dark side. It is entirely up to you.
6. Most importantly I want this to be fun so try to get some interesting characters in!
Character Sheet
Name: (The characters real name)
Alias: (If your character has an alias they use, put it here)
Race: (Pick any one of the playable races within the game)
Force: (Dark Side/Light Side like in the game)
Gender: (Simple)
Age: (Again, simple)
Height: (Just to help visualising)
Weight: (See height)
Class: (Please select one of the Imperial character classes from the game. Please be specific about your specialist class)
Abilities: (Pick 3 abilities that are in the game and available to your class
Appearance: (A screenshot from the game is preferable but if you have a better picture from the internet its no problem)
Items: (Stick to what your character can actually have in the game and try to be specific about crystal colours)
History: (Just share some of your characters history)
Bio: (This is a place to just lay out some information about your characters personality e.g. Quick tempered, hates weakness etc. It's not necessary but it just lets everyone know what they can expect from your character)

Have you ever had an experience of something not known to or accepted by the scientific community? It is so bizarre to know something is possible that is considered impossible by mainstream sources of information. I'm confident that it will be studied and accepted in the future but due to the stigma of my position I would not disclose the experience to those outside of my closest confidants.*
*In an effort not to seem paranoid, woo, or spiritual, I will disclose that I'm not getting probed by aliens, seeing Bigfoot in my backyard, communing with ley lines, or self-diagnosing "morgellons disease."
Quantum entanglement is a form of quantum superposition. When a measurement is made and it causes one member of such a pair to take on a definite value (e.g., clockwise spin), the other member of this entangled pair will at any subsequent time[6] be found to have taken the appropriately correlated value (e.g., counterclockwise spin). Thus, there is a correlation between the results of measurements performed on entangled pairs, and this correlation is observed even though the entangled pair may have been separated by arbitrarily large distances. In Quantum entanglement, part of the transfer happens instantaneously. Repeated experiments have verified that this works even when the measurements are performed more quickly than light could travel between the sites of measurement: there's no slower-than-light influence that can pass between the entangled particles. (source)
The emphasis is mine.
I think I may have been wrong to have used the term "vast distance." Rather, far enough away that the simultaneity could not be have accomplished at slower than light speeds.
Unseen thank you!
I found my reference from another source, that seemed to suggest that the rather newage implications/interpritation of quantum mechanics was false. That no C violation was to be implied. The Wikipedia posting seems to be a qualification only. Till I know other wise, I shall stand corrected. I doubt that this affects the cost of beans in China much...

SEC 7s Saturday in Montgomery |
Sevens - Collegiate Sevens |
The Southeastern Collegiate Rugby Conference 7s Championship is Saturday and Sunday in Montgomery, Ala., and 13 of the 14 member schools of the SEC are set to compete, including first-year members Texas A&M and Missouri. Only Vanderbilt is not participating. The field is split into four pools, with the top two teams from each pool advancing to the quarterfinals on day two and the champion receiving an automatic bid to Nationals. The bottom team from each pool moves onto the Plate semifinals. Alabama, LSU, Texas A&M, Florida, Georgia, Tennessee and Auburn are entering sides into the JV bracket. Tennessee enters the competition as its reigning champion, having beaten Florida 26-14 in the final last September. LSU and Arkansas reached the semifinals. The Vols played in the Greensboro, NC leg of the Atlantic Coast Invitational 7s Series earlier this fall and went 3-0 in pool play, beating Appalachian State, Clemson and Virginia, but the knockout rounds were canceled due to weather. The champs return their biggest play makers, including All American Nic Evans, from last year. He is their main line breaker, but fifth-year players Matt Johnson and Mason Howard add firepower, too. Howard was injured for part of last year, as he suffered a broken hand and took a semester off. "I look for him to play real well," said Tennessee coach Marty Bradley. "He's been practicing real well. He's probably the one guy that didn't get a lot of recognition last year that will probably do so this year." LSU is also anchored by veterans, veterans who have been targeting this weekend. "This is basically a lot of the seniors' main priority because we know now where the country's going with 7s and that's basically the future of the sport in the country," said LSU captain Allen Alongi, "so we want to go out there and hopefully win everything, but if not at least qualify for Nationals, and maybe Philadelphia again." LSU played in the Collegiate Rugby Championship two years ago in Philadelphia, but only two Tigers who played in the CRC are still on the team, and Alongi is the only one who will be playing in Montgomery. "We're just basically using what we've learned from that tournament, other tournaments we've been to and from Jules McCoy," said Along, speaking of former Women's 7s National Team coach Julie McCoy who coached them in the CRC. "We've just been putting that into motion." The Tigers have been playing some 15s this fall, but also sprinkling in a couple of under-the-radar 7s tournaments, in which they've mostly played club teams. They've also committed two practices a week to 7s. Alongi should be expected to score some tries this weekend, and 15s No. 8 Will Middleton will need to play well if LSU is to be successful. But the Tigers might have a bit of an ace on the bench, too, in U20s hooker Cameron Falcon. "It's going to take at least two people to bring him down," said Alongi of Falcon. "If they over commit, that will definitely leave an advantage on the side. He's going to be an impact player, for sure." Newcomer Texas A&M should be considered a serious title contender. The Aggies won the Allied Rugby Conference tournament just last week, beating Colorado State and Oklahoma along the way. A&M has big-time players in Connor Mills, Brian Guillen and Jan Young. Arkansas could also be dangerous, having finished a close second to Lindenwood at the Heart of America tournament last month, and Florida has had some success in the Florida 7s series this fall, despite losing a bunch of talent following a good showing at the CRC in June.

This ^ Otherwise some OC 6850 (just below 600 PLN) or 6870 (650-700 PLN). 560 Ti is no less than 800 PLN for now
Your current board will do crossfire but not SLI. If you will be keeping this board a while longer I would say to pickup a 6850/6870 as you can always pickup another later for crossfire- 68xx series cards scale very well in crossfire.
From your other thread, if you can bring up your budget just a touch more opt for a 560Ti. Out of those depicted I would go for the Gigabyte 6870. @Norton With a small hack that board could do SLI. Rather moot though, because if the OP has been running a 260 any of the cards mentioned will be quite a bump.
Gigabyte Radeon HD 6870 OC or Sapphire Radeon HD 6870? Please, post here you opinion. Sapphire is cheaper a bit.
I would go with the Sapphire especially if the Gigabyte is the 3 fan model- that Gigabyte is much larger than it needs to be :shadedshu
Go with whatever you want there's no much difference maybe Gigabyte is a bit cooler but both have good coolers.
Now that I am thinking of it if you wanted to be stupid cheap ..... LOL Stupid cheap meaning, you would have to find a second card and an SLI bridge for like $60 USD max to make it worth your while.
http://www.techpowerup.com/forums/showthread.php?t=162827 see if pauli will take $200 for that gpu mate, worth a pm imo :thumb:
I can buy PALIT GEFORCE GTX 560TI: Could someone provide link with tests for this card? Is it worth to go with this Palit? This Palit has been used abt 1 year.
http://www.palit.biz/palit/vgapro.php?id=1492 Pretty sure it's this one I ask the same as well. May want to pm brandonwh64, I know he likes his but he could probably give you some numbers to measure its performance for you. Pretty sure performance wise it's between a 6870 & 6950.

Forums >Health and Nutrition>body fat calipers??
I ordered these yestetday and I should have them tomorrow: Accu-Measure 3000 From the limited research I did, this seems to the best ones to get if you're going to measure yourself. There are others, but they seem better suited for cases where someone else would take your measurements.
Needs more cowbell!
• get within 5#s of 130#s (and stay there, gotdammit!)
✓ 1st olympic distance duathlon - AG 2nd!!
• 1st Iceman Cometh mtn bike race - no MTB in '13
✓ Half Fanatic
✓ punch Type 1 in the junk
they should really only be used for tracking trends.
Has anybody actually done the water test?
I don't know anything about these tests, but has anyone ever heard of using electric current to measure body fat? I had mine measured as a "healthy-volunteer" for a medical study (they also did cardiac stress testing with EKG, an echocardiagram, blood tests, etc.. pretty cool stuff!). They simple put an electrode on one finger and one on my toe (maybe a 3rd on my other foot? I can't remember now) and a little device measured my %fat instantaneously. I would think they would use the most accurate method possible for their study (though perhaps they just wanted to compare my number relative to others in the study?). Anyways, this method has got to be cheaper and more easily available than water immersion. Maybe ask you doctor if it's available at your clinic?

Today the Food and Drug Administration announced that we should no longer use a popular over-the-counter cold remedy—Zicam Cold Remedy Nasal Gel and Nasal Swabs—because it could cause a long-lasting or permanent loss in our sense of smell, a condition called anosmia. The FDA says it has received more than 130 reports from Zicam users who said their ability to smell became impaired—in some cases, after using the product only once. It goes without saying that we need our noses to, say, smell smoke when there's a fire, milk when it's rancid, and significantly enhance the taste of our food.
Zicam's website is still up and running, with no mention, as yet, of the warning letter that its manufacturer, Matrixx Initiatives, received from the FDA. The agency told the company to stop marketing Zicam unless it applies for a formal drug approval. Matrixx Initiatives responded to my inquiry with an E-mailed statement, which reads, in part:
Based on the FDA's action, the company has suspended shipments of these products and will reimburse any customer desiring a refund. However, the company believes the cumulative body of independent scientific and medical evidence supports both the safety and efficacy of Zicam intranasal cold remedy products. Matrixx Initiatives stands behind the science of its products and its belief that there is no causal link between its intranasal gel products and anosmia. For this reason, Matrixx Initiatives believes that the FDA action is unwarranted and will seek a meeting with the FDA to review the company's product safety data.
On a personal note, I'm happy I forgot about the Zicam nasal swabs sitting in my medicine cabinet when I first caught a nasty cold a few days ago. My mom encouraged me to try the homeopathic product years ago, swearing that it cut down on the severity of her colds. I've swabbed my nose a few times and didn't notice any sign that it worked. Still, every time she hears that I'm coming down with a cold, she hounds me to use it. (She's in Europe now, so she couldn't pester me this time; hence, I forgot.)
But I have to admit that I didn't really worry about the safety of Zicam even if I wasn't sure of its effectiveness. And many Americans felt the same way. A government survey last December found that 38 percent of people use some type of complementary or alternative remedy. Women, in particular, use alternative remedies: 43 percent of us compared with 34 percent of men. But as the FDA warning letter reminds us, alternative remedies aren't approved as drugs. They don't have to pass through the regulatory hoops that prove drugs' safety and effectiveness. Thus, we have no idea when we buy alternative remedies like Zicam whether we're wasting our money or, worse, putting ourselves at risk.
So I've got three things on my to-do list for today: Throw out my Zicam when I get home. Send my mom an E-mail telling her to chuck her own stash when she returns. And throw out any other "remedies" in my cabinet that aren't regulated as drugs.

You would think there's a basic formula for movies about fast-moving vehicles: Get character in. Put key in ignition. Get rolling. Unfortunately, "Getaway" gets itself embroiled in all sorts of inane situations. — Joe Neumaier, New York Daily News
In Courtney Solomon's Getaway, the nonsense piles up nearly as fast as the smashed, flipped, T-boned and otherwise trashed cop cars chasing after Ethan Hawke's laughably named Brent Magna and his sidekick, "The Kid." — Ian Buckwalter, NPR
"Getaway" is so bad that what's most surprising about it is that Nicolas Cage didn't manage to star in it. — Kyle Smith, New York Daily News
It's hard to know where to start with a movie like "Getaway," whose sole purpose seems to be to hop aboard the "Furious" box office bandwagon. But compared to this lemon, "Furious" is a Scorsese franchise. — Scott Bowles, USA Today

Folic acid: Autism reduction?
Posted at: 02/12/2013 9:57 PM
If you've been pregnant or know someone who has had children, you may know something about folic acid. Now research says it may decrease the chance of having a child with autism.
Researchers say women who took a supplement before pregnancy and during the first three months lowered their babies' risk by 40%.
Folic acid is also found in dark green, leafy vegetables, fortified cereals and breads.
Dr. Louis Papa talked with Lia Lando about this new research on Roc City Tonight.

Here's the documentary's website: http://www.everythingscool.org/about.htm
Odd, I hadn't noticed any mention of it here.
It's being rebroadcast at 1 am EST on Newsworld in case any night owls in canada read this (40 min from now)

FORT WAYNE – The kid in the Mad Ants shirt with the ticket stub that he just laid out for Anthony Harris to autograph fidgeted a while until the seated Harris smiled and said hello.
Uh, nice game, the boy – probably 9 or 10 – said as he watched Harris carefully sign the ticket.
Kids got a keen eye for talent.
What Anthony Harris just did to the Maine Red Claws last Thursday was more than a nice game. How did Ants coach Duane Ticknor see it?
Anthony Harris was just dynamite, Ticknor said after the Ants 115-109 win over Maine. Then he explained why: Seven assists and only two turnovers.
Plus he had 15 points, four rebounds, a steal and two blocked shots in a season-high 47 minutes.
It was the last night of a long January for Harris, who joined the Ants three weeks into the season.
He was brought in to be a backup point guard for Ron Howard, but when Howard went down and out for the better part of seven games with a knee injury, Harris became the starter and chief ball distributor.
After seeing six games last season in Bakersfield, Calif., and time with Sioux Falls a year before that, Harris was finally getting some big minutes, something for which he longed.
Its the culmination of a rededication, of sorts, for the University of Miami product. He ate better. He worked out more. He became stronger and faster and leaner. And did the Ants ever lean on him.
Im proud of what I did this summer in my conditioning and taking care of my body and continuing to be disciplined and work out, Harris said. I dont think I would be in the position to help this team the way I am now if I didnt be disciplined enough to work out every day.
The pro game lasts 48 minutes, and, with few options to back up the backup, Harris was playing 44 of them.
Still, he had enough legs left that Thursday night to zip past his man up top, churn down the right side of the lane, and hammer a dunk that ignited the Memorial Coliseum crowd. Even Harris had to pose briefly.
Im not used to coming off the dribble and dunking over everybody, he said.
With the return of Howard on Monday, Harris finally got a chance to catch his breath. Four seconds shy of playing 23 minutes, he had five points and four assists in a 94-81 win over Canton.
He is just worn out, Ticknor said. He is flat worn out. Hes been unbelievable. Weve just asked so much out of him the last three weeks.
Excluding (Monday), the last five games, the least amount hes played are 44 minutes and 30 seconds. Were asking so much out of him, and hes just dead. I was so glad we could give him some rest.
At least for now.

I'm not the most technological person going but I've gone and bought myself a Kindle. I have to say I love it, easy to use etc I have all my copies of Jissen plus the e books from this site and I'd love to put them on to the Kindle, it would be really useful however I don't know if it can be done and if it can how to do it, reading manuals doesn't help, they make my head buzz lol. Is there anyone who can help me please?
Kindle, Jissen and E books, help needed please!
Tez, I also have a Kindle and it's quite simple to download files. Connect to PC via USB port and your Kindle appears as a mass storage device; drag and drop or save to: You can also send the files to your Amazon registered e- mail address as "name"@free.kindle.com then download using your wifi connection. Hope that helps.
You are a star sir! it will be great to have such good reference guides available in my sports bag so easily!
I have a Kindle too and I tried to read some pdf-Files on it. I got much better results using the convert-option as discribed here:
Option to Convert PDF Files to Kindle Format
If you prefer to have your personal PDF documents converted to the Kindle format so you can take advantage of Kindle functionality such as variable font size, annotation, Text-to-Speech, etc., type "Convert" in the subject of the e-mail when you submit your personal document to your @kindle.com address.
Image-heavy PDF files are presented in landscape orientation and don't work with devices that have auto-rotation, so those will be delivered in the Kindle format.
We've just started looking at converting the printed books into kindle editions as it happens. Richard (the unseen webgod who protects this site from my technical ineptitude) has done all the testing and we've got all the details of the process from the good people at Amazon. I'll keep you informed as things progress :-)
All the best,
It's brilliant having things you can reference at your fingertips! it's cool of course having the fiction you want to read with you but being able to look up Jissen articles easily is a real bonus, my martial knowledge is getting better but it helps me immensely to be able to have experts on hand. I've also bought a book on stretching for martial arts so am building my own reference library.
Iain, your books on Kindle would be great, I'll probably be your first customer!
Will jissen be available as well?
Mr P wrote:Will jissen be available as well?
I won't be adding Jissen to Amazon's kindle store because it is free. You can however add it to kindle devices using the method described in the post above:: http://iainabernethy.co.uk/content/kindle-jissen-and-e-books-help-needed-please#comment-1711
I don't own a kindle (I prefer paper :-) but all issues are PDFs so it should be easy enough to add them.
All the best,

Okay guys, before you go ape**** over my subject line there is a reason for my post.
I'm looking for a supplement that will increase mind to speech processing ability in a way something similar to focus XT.
Focus XT with DMAA or caffeine works pretty well. However, I'm looking for something that will do more at the level of speech processing and voice speed up. I know it's a weird question, but the closest I am thinking is something along the lines of some of the racetams...
Any ideas?

\chapter{Handling of \index{image} image data} \section{Image format} {\sc SExtractor} accepts \index{image} images stored in FITS\footnote{\it Flexible Image Transport System} format (Wells \etal 1981, see also {\tt http://fits.gsfc.nasa.gov}). Both ``Basic FITS'' (one single header and one single body) and ``Multi-Extension-FITS'' (MEF) \index{image} images are recognized. Binary {\sc SExtractor} catalogues produced from MEF \index{image} images are MEF files themselves. If catalogue output is in ASCII format, all catalogues from the individual extensions are concatenated in one big file; the {\tt EXT\_NUMBER} catalogue parameter must be used to tell which extension the source belongs to. For \index{image} images with ${\tt NAXIS} > 2$, only the first data-plane is loaded. If \index{WCS} WCS\footnote{\it World Coordinate System} information (Greisen \& Calabretta 1995, {\tt http://www.cv.nrao.edu/fits/documents/wcs/wcs.all.ps}) is available in the header, it is automatically used by {\sc SExtractor} to compute astrometric parameters. Other astrometric descriptions like AST ({\it Starlink} format) \gam{Provide URL in footnote} or the solution coefficients of the DSS \footnote{{\it Digital Sky Survey} \gam{URL in footnote}} plates are not recognized by the software. In {\sc SExtractor}, as in all similar programs, FITS axis ``1'' is traditionaly referred as the {\tt X} axis, and FITS axis ``2'' as the {\tt Y} axis. \section{Double image mode} If data are available for the same field in several photometric bands, it is usually desirable to measure object characteristics such as magnitudes exactly at the same positions and through the same apertures for the different bands, to derive precise colour indices for example. {\sc SExtractor} makes this possible by providing a special mode dubbed ``double image mode'' where detections are made on one image while measurements are carried out on another (both images must have exactly the same number of pixels). By repeatedly running {\sc SExtractor} with various ``measurement images'' while keeping the same ``detection image'', one ends up with a set of catalogues having the same sources measured through different channels. The detection image will generally be chosen in the band where the data are the deepest. Alternatively, using a ``$\chi2$ image'' \citep{szalay:al:1999} (produced e.g., by \href{http://astromatic.net/software/swarp}{\sc SWarp}) as a detection image, will allow most of the sources present in at least one channel to be detected and measured. Double image mode is automatically engaged by providing {\sc SExtractor} with two images instead of one: \% {\tt sex detection.fits,measurement.fits}\\ A space may be used instead of a coma. In the example above, {\tt sex detection.fits} is used as a detection image, while measurements are carried out on {\tt measurement.fits}. You then obtain two different catalogues for the two images, which have exactly the same numbers of lines and can be put together. If you have images in other bands covering the same regions, you can measure them in double image mode as well, always taking as a reference image 1, and then combine all the catalogues obtained.

While I enjoyed this review, I'm sure I can't be the first person to notice a unintentionally hilarious typo. In the beginning of the third section Joseph Neighbor writes "Meanwhile, Soto and his colleagues, wearing baklavas to protect their identities...". As I read this, a deep-rooted chuckle came up from my gut as I envisioned the men with honey syrup and chopped nuts dripping down their faces from the pastries atop their heads, which instead should have been covered by BALACLAVAS. Too bad spellcheck can't take context into consideration!
