2020 Chevrolet Corvette Specs Info And Update
2020 Chevrolet Corvette. Since we can expect the new ZR1 Chevrolet Corvette to be higher than the previous one, we believe that most of the important changes will probably be that you will see more space for travelers inside, which is beautiful information out of Chevrolet Corvette. All of this may be your characteristics on the brand new Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 Internal updated, so we can expect to see more entertainment features compared to the other. In terms of appearance, we have very little subject to examine, but the limited number of spy shots of the telephoto lens indicates that the Chevrolet Corvette will take the appearance of the GT-Rivaling car.
This will include a short front cover and an introduction, a large rear end with chunky shoulders, and a set of butter on the back side. It is also reported that Chevy will add a watch window between the butter to give the spectator a glimpse of the power plant in the middle. The year 2020 will be 2020 Chevrolet Corvette something that can actually be dropped, as it has been confirmed through multiple spy shots. With Camaro going beyond the territory of her older brother's performance, General Motors decided to raise the bet on Chevrolet Corvette and make it even stranger than ever in the next generation – if the general had thought about it before giving the Grand Buick the National Ax.
To help make your current truck specific, in addition to producing the actual buyers you are supposed to be associated with all day long, all you have to do is usually so you can get your previous check on this route yet under a scary cover. Of which specifically what Chevrolet Corvette has done using this new ZR1 Chevrolet Corvette. We've obtained almost total care analysis from there before it is suddenly difficult to quote what is newly included in it basically. It is clear that the innovative Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 model will be unveiled with large air vents which are often closer to the edge of the front side.
Individuals are all points that we can see in the upper side. On the back of the brand new Chevrolet Corvette ZR1, we can realize that it is likely to get the back wing associated in the manufacturing model because they gave a place to do it. Furthermore, its suppliers announced that additional carbon fiber content was likely to be used. However, it is difficult to imagine how the Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 can appear from the inside just because we have not seen a picture of it. Although the Chevrolet Corvette continues to do nothing at all, we must explain to you anyone who can not see some of the legendary changes taking place inside.
The engine model for the new brand 2020 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 continues to disappear adequately because its suppliers want to get it specifically. It will run with turbocharged V8 turbocharger system which should be able to produce 700 hp. Using this power size, the new ZR1 can reach from -60 mph in only 2.7 seconds. The first speed of the first ZR1 may be about 205 mph and will be combined into a new smart gearbox.
This new ZR1 may be introduced 2020 Chevrolet Corvette before the spring 2020 season arrives there. With regard to its price, you should know that it will not be reasonably priced, so quote its price to about 120 thousand dollars.

On my run this morning I started thinking that my exercise routine has become pretty…well, "routine". I run down the same streets, past the same houses without even thinking. Nothing changes. My brain and body both have it memorized; even my pedometer gives the same reading. I get great cardio, burn calories, feel good, but where's the challenge? Where's the fun? Do I need something new?
I talked to a woman last week who expressed a frustration in her current fitness regimen. She said, "I'm in an exercise rut. Can you help me?" Another woman told me she was looking for something new and fun to re-invigorate her workout. "I want to challenge my brain and my body," she said.
Ruts happen. And unless you're that rare person who can do the same thing over and over, day in and day out, without losing interest or enthusiasm, staying motivated and engaged in your workout is difficult. The solution is different for everyone, but maybe it's time to try something new. Take the BCS 4-week Course Challenge! The Butler Community School has 12 different Dance & Fitness courses beginning this week that will get you moving while learning something new and having fun. Mix up your routine. Try something different. Keep it fresh!
From Tap dance for beginners, to Hula, Yoga, Pilates-based courses, and Boot Camps; early morning, lunch time, and evening. Each course offers motivation, accountability, and camaraderie; three ingredients that will help infuse your workout.
There's also the group aspect. One of the great things about a group is that if you show up half asleep at an early morning boot camp, or exhausted at the end of a long work day, once you join the group, you become re-energized. With a friendly instructor to challenge and motivate you, it can't get any better. Or maybe it can; the power of the group! Nothing brings people together quite like learning together, pressing through muscle burn, or reaching a goal. Whether learning to tap or being pushed to your cardio limit, taking a BCS course will provide opportunity to develop a common bond while getting into the best shape possible. Give it 4 weeks…
Need to get out of the exercise rut? The solution might be as simple as taking a BCS Course. Sign up today. Maybe you'll see me there!

Anybody heard the phrase "high, wide and handsome" to know where it comes from? I have a definition which means "successfully, masterfully, triumphantly." Origin unknown. But my context is "You still check as to whether or not we haven't busted this thing high, wide and handsome." I get the idea of a bomb or explosion of some kind blowing something up. But wanted to know if anyone had any more concrete information rather than just speculation, although I'll take the speculation too.

Report: Lattimore to enter NFL draft
Injured South Carolina running back Marcus Lattimore will enter the NFL draft, ESPN.com reported Monday.
An official announcement is expected later this week.
Lattimore sustained anterior cruciate ligament and lateral collateral ligament injuries on Oct. 27 against Tennessee when he took a helmet to his right knee.
He ran for 662 yards with 11 touchdowns this season.
Lattimore has been rehabilitating with the help of NFL team doctors in preparation for a pro career. However, he may have to sit out a year. He hopes to be able to jog and catch passes by March for the NFL scouting combine in Indianapolis.
He has also sought out advice from current and retired NFL running backs including Willis McGahee, Frank Gore and Eddie George, who recovered from serious knee injuries.
Lattimore's recovery is believed to be on schedule and he is not using crutches.
It is not Lattimore's first knee injury, however, as he missed half of last season with a torn left ACL.
Lattimore has 2,677 rushing yards with 38 touchdowns in three seasons with the Gamecocks.

All week, we'll be featuring recent college graduates and longtime friends Liyna Anwar and Anum Arshad as they plan, prepare, and host a backyard South Asian-inspired feast for their mothers.
Today: Anum takes us step-by-step through making Sooji Ka Halwa, a traditional Pakistani dessert. This is the fourth post in their Big Feast -- check out Shopping for Spices, Building the Tandoor Oven, and All About the Hyderabadi Biryani.
Growing up, I would always anxiously anticipate the summertime, the season that my grandmother would pay an extended visit and grace our home with her ever-spirited affection, care, and, best of all, food. One dish that has remained a true comfort food, and one that I will always associate with the sweet nostalgia of my childhood, is a traditional Pakistani dessert called sooji ka halwa, which essentially means "semolina dessert."
One of the reasons we selected sooji ka halwa as a dessert for our Feast is because of its homey and comforting nature. The dish is also prepared in just minutes over the stove, using a few simple ingredients that are easily accessible. Liyna and I also thought that highlighting this dish would give you all a novel way to look at cream of wheat – a food item traditionally seen as just a breakfast porridge or baby food.
Though I had always avidly watched my grandmother prepare the sooji ka halwa for me, I never actually tried my own hand at making it… until this Feast.
First, the ingredients. From prep to finish, all you need is the sooji (a.ka. the cream of wheat), sugar, oil, water, cardamom, saffron, and pistachios.
To begin, pour enough oil to fully cover the base of the pan, and turn the stove to medium heat.
Next, pour in the cream of wheat. In my grandmother's words, the portion ratio all begins from the cream of wheat itself. Whatever quantity you choose for the cream of wheat, double the sugar, and quadruple the water.
Add the seeds of the cardamom. The serving I made was meant for two people, so I used the seeds of two pods of cardamom.
Stir the mixture delicately in a consistent circular pattern, intermittently leaving a break of a few seconds. My grandmother was quick to note not to switch from a clockwise motion to counterclockwise motion abruptly – once you start in one direction, keep it going throughout, no sudden changes. At first, I wasn't sure if such a small detail actually made a difference in the final product of the sooji ka halwa, but after several (and when I say several, I mean several) trials and errors, I realized that each small detail really did affect both presentation and taste.
Here I am, trying to understand what the scent is I'm looking for before it's time to pour in the water. My grandmother told me that a distinct scent of the simmering sooji mixture should be emanating from the pan. Actually, as she conducted a sooji ka halwa demo prior to my own attempt, she was very keen to describe the exact degree of aroma that I should look for -- but I just smiled and nodded, and pretended like I knew what she meant. Alas, my grandmother swears a true sooji master learns the scent with abundant practice and ultimately develops a keen intuition for when it's ready.
The moment finally arrived – and with hesitation and excitement (read: near-crippling fear), I slowly poured in the water, only to be met with a sudden loud crackle that only intensified as I finished pouring. I have to admit, since this was my first time truly making the sooji ka halwa on my own, I was definitely startled… But with the moral support of Liyna behind the lens, I finished this process at ease. Liyna shook her head at me in amazement, baffled that I did not know that this would be the reaction when hot oil and water mix! Ladies and gentlemen, Liyna Anwar: foodie, budding food photographer, and heroic best friend to the rescue of her severely unacquainted kitchen counterpart.
Right after adding the water, I poured in the sugar and a couple strands of saffron. This specific step was especially time-sensitive (in light of an already time-sensitive recipe), as pouring the sugar too soon or too late after pouring the water would have resulted in either a watery or coagulated mixture, respectively.
Round and round the mixture went as I continued stirring the pan, getting mesmerized in the sooji vortex. Over 2-3 minutes, I witnessed the water slowly evaporating, and the eventual thickening of the mixture.
This is the exact golden caramel hue we look for when knowing that the time has come to switch off the stove. With a final light garnish of crushed pistachios, the sooji ka halwa is ready to eat… best consumed piping hot, of course.
And here's a video of Making the Sooji Ka Halwa:
Le Creuset has generously offered to reward our Big Feasters for all their hard work, and as our third Big Feast, Liyna and Anum will win, in the color of their choice (flame, cherry, fennel, Caribbean, dune, Dijon, or Marseille): a 5-quart braiser, a 4-quart stainless saucepan, and a large serving platter. Pitch us your Big Feast at [email protected] for a chance to win up to $500 in Le Creuset booty.

For our personal growth and self-development, the psychological establishment is feeding us baby food. We'll have difficulty fulfilling our destiny without better educational nutrition.
Let's consider the problem in light of what mainstream psychology is telling us about the self-defeating behavior known as "fear of intimacy."
We won't find abiding love, of course, when we're afraid of intimacy. So how do we fix the problem? An online search for information turns up hundreds of articles and numerous books. Much of this self-help literature does a decent job discussing the experiences and characteristics of fugitives from intimacy. But it does a lousy job providing real insight that can dramatically improve their lives.
One mainstream explanation says that intimacy-dodgers have a fear of rejection (being rejected or abandoned by the loved one), along with a fear of engulfment (feeling controlled and dominated by one's partner, along with losing oneself in the relationship).
Indeed, these two fears are felt by individuals who flee from intimacy. But where do these fears come from? Relationship experts are not explaining the true source of these fears. They say the fears can be due to a social phobia, an anxiety disorder, or a history of abuse. Yet even when these factors are aspects of the problem, we still need knowledge that goes beyond a diagnosis or the wounds of victimization. [Read more…]

Brawn, gender and human capital investment
Mark Pitt, Mark Rosenzweig and Nazmul Hassan build a model of investment in human capital that differentiates genders. Better nutrition improves strength and education improves skills. Individuals make these choices, as well as in which activities to work. Using panel data from rural Bangladesh, they find that model is a reasonable description of reality. That is particularly interesting, because rural Bangladesh does not strike me as an economy where brain would dominate brawn. Also of interest is that improvements in health do not increase education for men, it may even reduce it, while women education clearly benefits from them. Thus policies that focus on health improvements are likely to improve women's schooling more than men's, lead to more occupational differentiation across genders, and a larger gender wag gap.
7 comments:
Women are much more docile, and amendable to hierarchical systems. Thus school comports with them more than men.

Are women performing better on professional front although better in reasoning ? Well,I don't think so ... How many women are CEO, CFO or CTO of fortune 500 companies compare to men ?
- October 16, 2010 at 1:52 PM
KC, that is more a distribution of skills thing: the variance is larger for men than women, thus the top has more men.
- October 16, 2010 at 4:00 PM
- Kaushik Choudhury said...
@Kansan: doesn't better distribution increases the probability of success. Moreover men are equally over represented than women in lower positions in professional world.
- October 17, 2010 at 3:26 AM
Machin and Pekkarinen, (Science, 2008) show that males have higher variance: they are more represented in both top and bottom tails of the IQ distribution. link (unfortunately gated)
In other words: there are more incredibly bright men than women, but there are also more incredibly stupid men than women.

I think these are just rumors that ladies can perform better those task which are based on decision making or reasoning better then men, as we all knows that ladies are not much emotional stable. This is just due to increasing the number of females in the world.

Pooja, I think you are spreading rumors. Kansan and EL present concrete studies.

In preparation for possible budget cuts, the Air Force has ordered a hiring freeze for all civilian workers. The measure includes termination of all temporary and term employees.
In preparation for possible budget cuts, the Air Force has ordered a hiring freeze for all civilian workers. The measure includes termination of all temporary and term employees.
Exactly how that will play out Air Force-wide has not been determined.
Eglin Air Force Base, which has more than 3,800 civilian employees, has not yet released how many workers, if any, will be affected.
At Hurlburt, 15 temporary workers will lose their jobs Feb. 23 and 51 term employees will be terminated when their contracts expire, according to the public affairs office for the 1st Special Operations Wing.
Gate guards will not be affected, the office reported.
�We recognize the invaluable contributions of our civilian workforce; however we must address the current fiscal environment affecting all of the Air Force and the Department of Defense,� the public affairs office reported.
Lt. Col. Laurel Tingley with Air Force public affairs said the Department of Defense issued a memo recently to advise the Air Force to consider a hiring freeze to deal with potential budget shortfalls.
�It�s one piece of the overall response the DOD is looking at to reduce spending and mitigate some of the budgetary uncertainty,� she said.
She said the command staff is working to figure out how and when to put the freeze into effect. She did not have numbers on how many people would be affected or how much money the measure would save.
�They are all in the process of figuring out how to execute this directive,� Tingley said. �It�s a really complicated thing.�
Rocky Tasse, president of the American Federation of Government Employees Local 1942, said the freeze will continue to exacerbate the effects of previous cuts.
More than 300 positions at Eglin and 100 at Hurlburt were eliminated over the last two years.
A hiring freeze that lasted more than four years was just lifted at the end of 2011, Tasse said. In addition, early retirement packages were offered last year and many long-standing, highly specialized employees took the offer.
Those positions have not been filled.
The vacancies create the potential for a vacuum of knowledge in research and development functions, especially at Eglin, he said. Younger, less experienced civilian workers are moving in to take over those positions.
�There are a lot of kinks in the armor when you do that,� Tasse said. �The mission-oriented, experienced people, they�re gone.�
In addition to the hiring freeze, Eglin and Hurlburt have curtailed non mission-essential flights or travel, such as air shows and flyovers or conferences and symposiums. They also have cut or stopped minor purchases such as for furniture and computer equipment.
�We are following the Secretary of Defense�s guidance in implementing these prudent near-term measures that will help mitigate the nation�s budget risks, while minimizing any harmful effects on readiness to the extent possible,� 1st SOW commander Col. Jim Slife said in a written statement.
Eglin has said it will offer more details about the hiring freeze and other budget actions as soon as they are available.
�Air Force Material Command leadership is working to determine how best to implement the directed actions while ensuring our mission is accomplished,� according to Eglin public affairs.

There's nothing cooler than pitting a monster against another monster. Wolf versus vampire, troll versus imp, fairy versus djinn. Role playing games and fantasy movies have always been quick to try to pit magical creatures against each other, but the logic of these scenarios can be flimsy. How, exactly, does that werewolf share a world with a djinni? Some fantasy stories, like the one in C. Robert Cargill's new novel Dreams and Shadows, aim for plausibility, crafting a story where a creature's reason for being in the story makes sense.
In Dreams and Shadows, Cargill takes us back and forth through the doorway of fantasy, in a manner reminiscent of novels like Neil Gaiman's American Gods, Susanna Clarke's Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell, and Eoin Colfer's Artemis Fowl series, where characters go between the real world and the realm of fairies, monsters, and magic with ease. Cargill's novel heightens that, bringing us a world where magical creatures from different traditions can coexist. A djinni shares the same world and laws with fairies and other creatures from the world of "Fae" (for Faerie). In the case of this book, the djinni will also share a few rounds of drinks to let off some steam.
For readers who like to delve deep into the imaginary worlds of fantasy and science fiction, being easy with metaphors like veils, secret tunnels, and especially doors, turns out to be a handy skill when reading Dreams and Shadows. The doorway, in particular, is a metaphor that shows up over and over, one which suggests to us a mysterious world on the other side, where things with teeth, wings, and magic lurk. As a rule, the main character in a fantasy book has no choice but to discover this door between dimensions. He or she will be compelled, at one point or another, to go into that place on the other side. And that's when things get messy, because sometimes the things from the other world—the ones with wings, claws and magical powers—come back into ours.
Dreams and Shadows follows the lives of Ewan and Colby, two human infants whose lives are intertwined by fate and by magical bylaws that bind them to this magical world. These two boys grow up to be men, and each one is bound by the choices made by his parents and by the rules of magic set in Fae. Cargill begins the story in the world of magic, but whirls and dips into ours a few times, until the narrative finally slams itself into Austin, Texas, where Ewan and Colby must survive and resolve the threats of the fairy world, and the debts that they owe some nasty creatures with magical powers.
Author C. Robert Cargill spoke to Ars Technica about his experiences writing under a pseudonym for the influential site Ain't It Cool News, and how he transformed that gig into the roles of screenwriter (he penned last year's Ethan Hawke film Sinister), and novelist.
In early 2001, Cargill joined Ain't It Cool, a cinema news and gossip site run by Harry Knowles that changed the way movies were covered by traditional media starting in the 1990s.
Cargill credits his success as a writer for a large Internet site like Ain't It Cool to its founder, Harry Knowles. "I have my career because of Harry," Cargill said. "He was a sink or swim editor. He didn't spend much time coaching us. He's just gonna let you do it. He's a self made man and who wanted self made guys. That's why he doesn't throw a lot of resources behind our stuff. " (Readers will also find a nice cameo reference to Knowles in Dreams and Shadows).
It starts with a book: there and back again
Cargill wrote under the name Massawyrm on Ain't It Cool, though he admits that his pseudonym was never as secret as some of the other writers for the site. While Cargill was still writing for Ain't it Cool, Hollywood director Scott Derrickson became a fan of Massawyrm's reviews, and he finally approached Cargill to tell him he liked his writing. They became friends online, and they decided to meet. Over time, Derrickson started sending Cargill scripts to read, and Cargill would send him back his professional opinion. One day, Derrickson caught wind that Cargill had been working on a fantasy book.
"He read it, loved it, and he said 'I want to help you get this out there'," Cargill said. They finally met in person in Vegas to talk about Derrickson's current projects, and Cargill said, "Hey, I've had this movie in my head for years. So I pitched him Sinister. Derickson said holy fuck, I need to see that movie. Because he read my book, he decided to write the screenplay with me."
The two became writing partners, and Cargill sold the book Books and Dreams to a publisher soon after.
"The book got me the movie, which got me the book," Cargill said.
On the subject of trolls
Writing as Massawyrm allowed Cargill to get plenty of insider access to Hollywood and indie films, but he says that more than a decade later, the explosion of the Internet has changed the game.
"People have learned how the system works. Hollywood learned how Internet worked. When it was new, AIC was the Rolling Stone of the Internet." Indeed, the site broke new ground as it got access to special premieres and delivered its own direct style of movie reviews. It also became known for its scathing commenters, who were quick to point out when movies were in or out. What had been an anomaly in film journalism eventually became a mainstay. But now, the rules are a little different.
"Hollywood has figured it out," Cargill said. He explains that there are sites that write film reviews, and "then you have these sites that don't do movie reviews at all anymore. Instead, they have become marketing sites to market the films."
So, as Hollywood has become savvier about bloggers, they've made things more difficult for sites that don't comply with what they want, Cargill says: "The sites that do what the studios want get what they want."
Cargill considers the Internet a powerful tool, but one which has to be handled with wisdom and care. Like some of the magic in Dreams and Shadows, the Internet can cast a glamour on its users that can corrupt.
"You can't ever know what the soul of a human is like until they do what they do without repercussions." Cargill said. "It's an invisible magic ring [that lets you] know what they are capable of. The Internet is that magic ring. It lets us see who a person really is deep down. On the outside, they may be super nice, super friendly, and then they go home and try to make other people's lives terrible on places like Reddit and 4chan, and pick fights with people. They torture people any way they can."
"The Internet reveals the true nature of who we are as people. When we can't be caught—that's when we really show what we would do if we could really kill a person."
So, what's more dangerous? A troll from fantasy or an Internet troll? Cargill, who is familiar with the ways of both, has the answer.
"The scariest trolls are the regenerating ones that live under caves," Cargill says. On the other hand, "Internet trolls push out and melt away when you meet them in person. When you meet them, they say, Oh, hi, hi, hi, yes, yes, nice to meet you….and you think to yourself, this guy spent ten years lambasting you telling you you're the worst writer, saying horrible things about you. And now, face to face, he has a hard time making eye contact. It's very rare that an Internet troll can back up what he says. These guys are trolling because it's the only power they have. Internally, they feel a lack of control. When they troll they can control what happens online. And that way, they can control someone else's day. "
A unified system of myth
Cargill is at work on a sequel to Dreams and Shadows already, and he says the goal of the book was to make a system of multiple mythological creatures that could plausibly come together. Indeed, the book stays true to the myths of Irish fairies, djinn, Germanic folklore, and more.
"I'm a huge fan of folklore and mythology," Cargill said. "I read poems and bits and pieces of folklore that many people have never heard of. What I wanted to do is create a unified theory of folklore. As religion would move into a region, it would explain tales in the framework of their old religion."
Dreams and Shadows is available from Harper Voyager.

MANLY second-rower Anthony Watmough is tipped to sign a long-term deal at the Sea Eagles in a deal that would make him among the highest paid in the NRL.
Off-contract Manly backrower Anthony Watmough could become one of the highest paid players in the NRL.
The powerful off-contract Australian forward is in discussions with the Sea Eagles.
No other NRL club has officially entered the fray to secure one of the most sought-after players in the game.
Plenty of clubs are prepared to have a crack at the Narrabeen junior, but it has emerged they will not get near him.
Watmough's manager George Mimis told The Manly Daily negotiations with the club are progressing favourably, with the prospect of the 26-year-old testing himself on the market unlikely.
"I'm not talking to other clubs, I don't know if there will be a need for that," Mimis said.
"I hope our discussions (with Manly) can bare fruit.
"It's a work in progress and discussions are productive.
"Choc is in the top handful of players based on his rep performances last year.
"We are hoping his next deal will reflect that."
Should talks with Manly stall, there are no shortage of clubs interested in the Blues enforcer.
"He's certainly a good player," Warriors CEO Wayne Scurrah said.
"I imagine Manly will find it hard to keep a hold of him.
"He's undoubtedly the type of player all clubs would be keen on and we're no different."
Raiders boss Don Furner also said Watmough would be a bonus in Canberra's pack.
"He's a quality player and you'd love to have him in your team," Furner said.
"But we haven't been in contact with his manager."

Soroptimist International of Kodiak celebrated National Women's History Month by holding an art show featuring pieces made by women in Kodiak.
"We wanted to commemorate women's history month," said Soroptimist member Evelyn Wiszinckas.
Soroptimist International of Kodiak is an international group of women who work to better the lives of other women and girls in their community. They participate in projects to better women as well as raise money for awards for local women.
This is the fifth year the group has held the show to honor women. Soroptimists used to hold a dinner to celebrate the month, but decided they wanted to do something that could actually show off the talents of women in Kodiak.
"It's a lot nicer because instead of eating, we showcase women," Wiszinckas said. "Kodiak has quite a lot of creative women. We feel it's a service to highlight women artists."
Soroptimist received more than 40 art submissions from 21 Kodiak women. The art show features ceramic pieces, photography, watercolors, fabric pieces, quilts, pottery, mixed media, knitted pieces and wire sculptures. Some of the pieces actually incorporate women in the design.
Wiszinckas said the show was the first time some women had their art displayed in the community.
"Some women need encouragement to show their work," she said.
In addition to the displayed art, two women were at the show to demonstrate their talents.
Tara Auten, a knitter of five years, brought her spindle and showed how she makes homemade yarn. Two years ago she started spinning her own yarn because she couldn't find yarn with the right texture in Kodiak.
Jane Van Atta, a wire artist, hosted a hands-on activity to show people how to work with wire to make jewelry.
The art exhibit, located in the foyer of the Gerald C. Wilson Auditorium, will remain on display for the remainder of March.

This page describes how to view and manage the entities, indexes, and statistics for the data your application stores in your database. It also shows how to enable or disable Cloud Datastore Admin access, and how to enable or disable Cloud Datastore writes. You can do these activities on the Cloud Datastore page in the Google Cloud Platform Console.
Viewing Cloud Datastore statistics
Go to the Cloud Datastore Dashboard to view data for the entities in your application, as well as statistics for the built-in and composite indexes.
Go to the Cloud Datastore Dashboard page
The dashboard should look like:
For more information about the statistics on this page, see Viewing Statistics in the Console.
Viewing indexes
Go to the Indexes page to view a table of your application's indexes.
For each index, you should see its status, such as whether it is ready to serve your application. You should also see the amount of storage space used by the index and the number of entries in each index.
Viewing entities
Go to the Entities page to view the entities that your application stored in your database.
You should see:
You can also create, update, delete, and query entities on this page. Learn how in the Quickstart.
Enabling or disabling Cloud Datastore Admin access
If you want to use bulk copy, bulk delete, backups, or restores, you need Cloud Datastore Admin access.
To enable or disable Cloud Datastore Admin access:
Go to the Admin page.
Go to the Admin page
Click Enable Datastore Admin to enable access, or Disable Datastore Admin to disable access. The button text varies, depending on the state of your project.
Caveats on using Cloud Datastore Admin features
- For copy, delete, and backups, recent updates might not be considered.
- All Cloud Datastore Admin operations occur within your application, and thus count against your quota.
- You are strongly recommended to disable writes during a backup or restore.
- Existing entities with the same keys will be overwritten during a copy/restore operation. Duplicates are not created if copy/restore operations are performed multiple times. Copy/restore operations do not delete extra data.
- If you use a non-default queue for backup/restore, you can only specify the
queue.yaml. You cannot use any other targets.
Deleting entities
Go to the Admin page to delete all entities of a kind, or all entities of all kinds, in all namespaces.
- If you haven't already done so, enable Cloud Datastore access for your project.
- Go to the Admin page.
Go to the Admin page
- Click Open Datastore Admin.
- Select one or more entity kinds.
- Click Delete Entities.
Enabling or disabling database writes
It's normally a good idea to disable writes prior to a restore. This helps avoid conflicts between the restore and any new data written to your database. You can still use the Admin page to restore data and to perform bulk deletes when writes are disabled.
Disabling writes prevents entities from being changed by
- the Cloud Datastore Viewer.
- applications that use the Cloud Datastore API.
To enable or disable writes:
Go to the Admin page.
Click Enable writes to enable writes, or Disable writes to disable writes. The button text varies, depending on the state of your project.
Backing up or restoring data

Anatomy/Cell Biology 503 (Histology)
Medical Biochemistry, including the Molecular Biology and Endocrinology modules
Medical School Statistics course
Internship: No internship is required.
Language Examination: No language examination is required.
The student must complete a suitable research project under the supervision of a faculty member, leading to a Master's Thesis. The Master's Thesis should be a significant piece of research in Physiology that is suitable, in the opinion of the student's advisory committee, for publication in a peer-reviewed Physiology journal. The acceptability of the Thesis is determined by the committee. The actual submission to a peer-reviewed journal is encouraged but not a requirement for the M.S. degree.
The student must present the research to the department as an oral seminar.
Comprehensive Examination:
The written comprehensive exam tests the retention and integration of Physiological facts and concepts obtained through the student's didactic coursework. It covers the material from Physiology courses. (Material from courses taken outside the department is not tested.)
The exam is divided into four separate components. Four hours are allowed to complete each of the four components. Two of the components consist of multiple-choice questions covering the formal coursework. The other two components are comprised of essay-type questions including calculations and problem solving wherein the student is expected to explicitly describe the underlying logic of the answer.
The Graduate Faculty in the Physiology program write the questions.
Comprehensive examinations are administered once a year, in April. The examination runs for two days, from 8 a.m. to 12 noon, and from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. It is proctored by a faculty member. The student takes the exam in the Spring semester of the second year, after the required formal coursework is completed.
In grading the exam, the evaluators look for an understanding of core concepts, adequate knowledge of facts, and the application of physiological principles and problem-solving skills.
Students must achieve a score of 80% on the written preliminary exam to qualify as satisfactorily completing this requirement.
The Master's thesis is a description of the original scientific research carried out by the student. The thesis should demonstrate the student's knowledge of both research methods and a mastery of his or her primary area of interest. The Master's thesis should be a significant piece of research in Physiology that is suitable, in the opinion of the student's advisory committee, for publication in a peer-reviewed Physiology journal. The acceptability of the Thesis is determined by the committee, and the actual submission to, and acceptance by, a peer-reviewed journal is encouraged but not a requirement for the M.S. degree. Students are required to present their Master's theses publicly to the academic community in the form of an oral seminar, and to answer all questions from the audience. The oral seminar is not a formal defense, however.
A student preparing to present a thesis should confirm a time and date with the Master's Committee and register with the Graduate Secretary. After the time, date, and room are approved, the student will post fliers announcing the thesis presentation.
The student's Master's Committee is responsible for evaluating the thesis. The Committee will evaluate the student's ability to express in writing his or her research question, methodological approach, primary findings, and implications. The Committee will vote to pass or fail the thesis. If the student must make revisions, those changes must be approved as arranged by the Committee.

SAVANNAH - Country singer William Matthew "Billy" Currington, whose hometown is Rincon, Ga., was indicted Wednesday for terrorizing a 70-year-old Tybee Island, Ga., resident this month.
The two-count indictment returned by the Chatham County grand jury charged Currington, 39, with making terroristic threats against Charles Harvey Ferrelle on April 15 "with the purpose of terrorizing" him.
The indictment also charged Currington with abuse of an elder person "who is more than 65 years of age who is not a resident of a long-term care facility … by threatening to cause unlawful bodily harm."
Chatham County Superior Court Judge Penny Freesemann issued a bench warrant on Wednesday for Currington's arrest, district attorney spokesman Daniel Baxter said.
According to a Savannah-Chatham police report, Ferrelle, who was identified as a charter boat captain, told officers he had two paying fares on board for a tour about 1 p.m. April 15 when a man began screaming at them from 159 San Marco Drive.
Currington owns a home at that address in a gated community near Tybee Island.
When Ferrelle came back by the property, the same man followed him to AJ's, a dockside restaurant, got out of his boat and threatened to harm him, Marine Patrol Officer Daniel Walker reported.
The following day, Ferrelle told police he "feared for his life" because of the incident and that he would have to pass the property again the next day.
Ferrelle also told Walker he did not know why the suspect was "yelling threats and profanity" at him, but that "If I hadn't gotten into my slip fast enough I believe he (Currington) would have run me over," the report said.
Walker also reported he was told by Julie Muscleman on April 16 that she was the caretaker for an elderly man at the San Marco Drive address who, on April 15 "while on his dock," was almost knocked into the water when a boat went by.
On April 17, Currington went to his Twitter account and said: "harrassing artists often at their home by boat should be illegal. thas all i know. (sic)" He does not say if he is addressing the April 15 incident.
But Currington did address that incident Wednesday, when he tweeted: "hey guys, I wanted to thank everyone for the huge amount of support that I have received already. Unfortunately, I can't comment on this situation as this is an ongoing legal matter. It means a lot to me to have your support during this time"
According to the Grammy nominated artist's website, Currington's top 10 hits include "Pretty Good At Drinkin' Beer," "That's How Country Boys Roll" and "People Are Crazy."
Morris News Service reporters Eric Curl, Lesley Conn, Corey Dickstein contributed to this story.

Chicago gas station owner imprisoned in $1 million tax fraud case
Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan (D) and the Illinois Department of Revenue (IDOR) announced July 11 that a Chicago-area gas station owner pled guilty and was sentenced to prison for defrauding the state of nearly $1 million in gasoline sales taxes. It is one of the largest cases of gas sales tax fraud in the state's ongoing criminal enforcement operation.
To date, the operation has recovered more than $82 million owed the state from gas station owners who evaded sales tax payments.
Samer T. Farhan, 33, of Palos Hills, Ill., appeared before Cook County Circuit Court Judge Kenneth J. Wadas and pled guilty to filing fraudulent sales and use tax returns and mail fraud, Class 3 felonies.
Farhan was sentenced to two years in prison, and will pay the total $975,862 that he defrauded the state by underreporting sales taxes at his two gas stations.
From May 2008 to April 2011, Farhan underreported sales at Citgo Gas, 2959 W. Fulton St., Chicago, and Valero Gas, 1812 E. Sibley Blvd., Calumet City. Farhan schemed to conceal the underreported sales by laundering more than $200,000 to an overseas bank account based in Amman, Jordan.
"This is among the largest cases of sales tax fraud committed by a gas station owner that we have uncovered in our ongoing criminal enforcement initiative," Madigan said. "It is an extremely significant result that will bolster our efforts to pursue individuals intent on defrauding the state."
The case is part of the ongoing operation led by Madigan's office and IDOR to recoup sales tax losses from gas stations throughout Illinois that underreported revenues to avoid paying taxes to the state.
"The court's action is an example of how both the state's tax enforcement team and the courts take tax fraud seriously," said Brian Hamer, director of Revenue. "When taxpayers cheat, they will be punished."
The crackdown on gas station owners, now in its third year, has led to a new law in Illinois to penalize these criminals. The law, which was an initiative of Madigan's office and took effect in January, established stronger penalties and strengthened prosecutors' ability to pursue Illinois businesses and retailers that evade their sales tax bills. The law created the new crime of Sales Tax Evasion and imposed graduated penalties based on the amount of sales taxes that were evaded.
This case was investigated by IDOR's Bureau of Criminal Investigation and Madigan's office with assistance from the U.S. Secret Service. Assistant Attorneys General Paul Bervid and James Rustik handled prosecution of the case for Madigan's Special Prosecutions Bureau.

So this one time I flew to New York.
Rochester in fact.
I flew out of Jacksonville at 5:45 this morning (after getting 4.5 hours of sleep) and after a layover in D.C. landed myself in NY at 9:30 a.m.
After finding out the shuttle to Palmyra is $75 I thought to myself, "There must be another way."
So I contacted the EFY team up here. They were still in MA at their last session.
So what am I doing, you ask?
I am waiting here until Ash & Liz arrive from Atlanta at 11:30 p.m. when the EFY team will pick us all up and take us to the Palmyra Inn.
Yeah...you add that up.
9:30 a.m. - 11:30 p.m.
I have found myself a quaint spot by baggage claim. I have big windows to look out of, a rocking chair, a short couch, a Pretzel Maker & a TCBY. I finally gave in to hunger and after purchasing $8 worth of crap food decided the airport will take my money no more today and I will live with the hunger that will most likely consume me around 8 p.m.
Good thing I have a lot to occupy my time with.
I've done lots of things for the wedding. (YAY checking things off my to-do list!)
And I've made a lot of headway in The Hunger Games. (LOVE it.)
And of course I've chatted it up with friends and the love of my life. (His name's Alex in case you were wondering...)
And this is me:
8 hours down...7 to go! WOOT!

The United States and Germany both have four points and are atop Group G over Ghana and Portugal who have one point each. In the group stage of the World Cup, wins are worth three points, and draws are worth one point. All four teams have one game remaining.
Germany and the U.S. will play Thursday in Recife, and Ghana and Portugal will kick off at the same time in Brasilia.
Here are the scenarios:
- If the U.S. wins: They are through to the next round as the winners of Group G and will play the second place team from Group H. (Belgium currently leads Group H, followed by Algeria, Russia and South Korea)
Germany would finish second unless Ghana or Portugal won and passed Germany on goal differential.
Germany currently is plus 4, Ghana is minus 1 and Portugal is minus 4. The second place finisher plays the winner of Group H.
- If Germany wins: Germany wins the group. The U.S. would finish second unless Ghana or Portugal won and passed the U.S. on goal differential. The U.S. is plus 1, Ghana is minus 1 and Portugal is minus 4. So, if the U.S. loses to Germany, they will be rooting for Portugal, because it's less likely that Portugal could pass the U.S. on goal differential.
- If Germany and the U.S. draw: Germany wins the group and the U.S. finishes second. The result of the other game is meaningless.
—If Ghana and Portugal draw: The U.S. and Germany advance. Germany wins the group unless the U.S. defeats them.

Third Listening Period to Begin Monday, April 5
UPDATED : April 2, 2010
Third Listening Period to Begin Monday, April 5
From April 5 through April 9, NASA's Mars Odyssey orbiter will conduct a third campaign to check whether the Phoenix Mars Lander has come back to life after experiencing a Martian arctic winter it was not designed to survive. The orbiter received no signal from the solar-powered lander during two listening campaigns earlier this year. While Odyssey listens for Phoenix during 60 overflights next week, the Phoenix site will be in around-the-clock sunshine. Phoenix completed its three-month mission in the Martian arctic in 2008 and worked for two additional months before energy became insufficient.

Mars Odyssey Still Hears Nothing from Phoenix
PASADENA, Calif. -- NASA's Phoenix Mars Lander showed no sign during February that it has revived itself after the northern Mars winter. NASA's Mars Odyssey orbiter will check again in early April.
The solar-powered Phoenix lander operated for two months longer than its planned three-month mission in the Martian arctic in 2008. It was not designed to withstand winter conditions. However, in case the return of abundant springtime sunlight to the site does revive Phoenix, Odyssey is conducting three periods of listening for a transmission that Phoenix is programmed to send if it is able. The second listening period, with 60 overflights of the Phoenix site from Feb. 22 to Feb. 26, produced the same result as the first listening period in January: no signal heard.

CSRF Protection
This page aims to document and discuss CSRF protection for Django.
For general discussion of the CSRF issue see:
- Wikipedia on CSRF
- Robust Defences for Cross-Site Forgery (Barth, Jackson, Mitchell) - very important paper, terminology used here reflects the terminology of that paper.
For the record, the most relevant discussion on django-developers are here, most recent first, but this page attempts to supersede them all by gathering the conclusions.
- Discussion of #9977 patch csrf_template_tag_14.diff - http://groups.google.com/group/django-developers/browse_thread/thread/c23f556b88cedbc7?pli=1
- Luke Plant's proposal - http://groups.google.com/group/django-developers/browse_thread/thread/ae525f270ed46933/c338b050f43741b2?lnk=gst
- Simon Willison's proposal - SafeForm - http://groups.google.com/group/django-developers/browse_thread/thread/2c33621003992d07/61a9fefb50d662b0
Django tickets
There is a lot of discussion in these tickets as well, which are also superseded by this page.
Types of attack
The following different attacks are in scope:
- 'Login CSRF': this is when a browser is tricked into logging into a site under an account that is controlled by an attacker, so that the attacker can then track or otherwise abuse the actions performed by the victim.
- 'CSRF + MITM': this is a combination of CSRF and active network (man-in-the-middle) attack, which is relevant in HTTPS situations which are otherwise thought to be invulnerable to MITM attacks. This is because HTTP 'Set-Cookie' headers are accepted by clients that are talking to a site under HTTPS, allowing a MITM attacker to set cookies on the client. (MITM attacks under HTTP are considered out of scope, because in general MITM attacks under HTTP are impossible to protect against).
Further, attacks can be categorised as:
- Cross site - attacker.com attacking victim.com
- Cross sub-domain - attacker.example.com attacking victim.example.com
There is also an attack related to 'CSRF + MITM' which is not necessarily 'CSRF', which is called 'session fixation': the opposite of session theft, a malicious agent sets the session cookie on a user's machine, giving them the attacker's session. The attacker may or may not be 'authenticated' in that session - if not, the victim might authenticate, and the attacker may be able to take control of the victim's account or abuse the victim's authentication. Alternatively, if the attacker is already authenticated, there are the same problems as those present in 'login CSRF'. This type of attack can be achieved by an active network attacker (not in scope for HTTP connections), but it can also be achieved by someone with control of a sub-domain through the use of the wild-card cookies.
document.domain = 'example.com'; ?)
Methods of defence
The main contenders are:
- 'HMAC of session identifier'. This was provided by Django 1.0 in CsrfMiddleware and in 1.1 in CsrfViewMiddleware, and is referred to as the 'CSRF token'. All incoming POST requests that have an active session are required to have a CSRF token that is a hash of the session identifier and the site's SECRET_KEY.
- 'session independent nonce'. A random value is stored in a cookie, unique to every user, and POST forms must contain the same value as a token.
- 'Strict Referer checking'. The HTTP 'REFERER' header must be present and must match the site's domain for the request to be accepted (for POST requests).
Methods of token insertion
- Django 1.0 provided CsrfMiddleware and 1.1 provided CsrfResponseMiddleware which did automatic insertion of the token in outgoing pages, to all POST forms. This has several problems:
- The performance hit from doing the post processing.
- It removes the ability to do streaming of responses (should that become a possibility in future Django versions)
- It adds the CSRF token to all POST forms, including those targeted at external sites. These sites would then gain access to the CSRF token and would be able to do CSRF attacks on that user. (This can be avoided by use of the
@csrf_response_exemptdecorator if the page has no internal forms, but that might be an unacceptable constraint, and the default behaviour opens up vulnerabilities easily). To put it simply, control over token insertion is on a page by page basis, when it needs to be form by form.
- SafeForm - a Django Form subclass that adds the token. Proposal abandoned in favour of template tag for various reasons.
- Template tag - templates that need the CSRF token need to insert them manually using
{% load csrf %}at the top and
{% csrf_token %}in every
<form>. This also requires use of a context processor (usually via RequestContext). This method is assumed for the rest of the document.
Each of the methods of defence will be evaluated against the possible attacks.
Django 1.0 - HMAC of session identifier
- if using Django's session framework as the basis for authorisation: protected
- otherwise: not protected (the middleware provides no protection if there isn't an active session)
- Login CSRF:
- if using Django's built-in session framework and login routines, you are protected (albeit accidentally). This is because the login views in Django create a session when the login form is first accessed. When the form is filled in and POSTed back, the view checks for the existence of a test value in the session (to check whether the session cookie has been accepted by the browser). If not found, you receive the message: "Looks like your browser isn't configured to accept cookies. Please enable cookies, reload this page, and try again". Hence, login CSRF doesn't work - the session is established in the step before logging in, and is required for login to succeed.
- other login methods are not protected.
- CSRF + MITM, under HTTPS: protected
- The CSRF token is tied to the session, so the MITM will not be able to fake the token and abuse the user's session.
- but related session fixing vulnerabilities are not protected, essentially due to a flaw in cookies (see Barth et al).
- Cross sub-domain CSRF: same as normal CSRF (1) above
- Cross sub-domain login CSRF: same as normal login CSRF (2) above
- Cross sub-domain session fixing: not protected
- sub-domains will be able to send a wild-card session cookie to clients, giving them the attacker's session.
Additional issues:
- it can cause false positives when the session identifier changes. This can happen if the user has more than one tab open, and in one tab does something that causes session identifier to change, and then submits a form that is open in another tab.
- it is tied to the session framework, which means it's not re-usable for sites that don't use Django sessions, or have alternative login strategies.
Session independent nonce
- CSRF: protected
- Login CSRF: protected (as long as both the CSRF token and the cookie are required for all POST requests)
- CSRF + MITM, under HTTPS: not protected
- The attacker can set the CSRF cookie using Set-Cookie, and then supply a matching token in the POST form data. Since the site does not tie the session cookies to the CSRF cookies, it has no way of determining that the CSRF token + cookie are genuine (doing hashing etc. of one of them will not work, as the attacker can just get a valid pair from the site directly, and use that pair in the attack).
- Cross sub-domain CSRF: not protected
- The sub-domain can simply send a wild-card cookie to set the CSRF cookie, and include the corresponding token in the form.
- Cross sub-domain login CSRF: not protected
- Same reason as (4)
- Cross sub-domain session fixing: not protected
- sub-domains will be able to send a wild-card session cookie to clients, giving them the attacker's session.
Strict Referer checking
- CSRF: protected
- Login CSRF: protected
- CSRF + MITM, under HTTPS: protected
- but related session fixing vulnerabilities are not protected, essentially due to a flaw in cookies (see Barth et al).
- Cross sub-domain CSRF: protected
- Cross sub-domain login CSRF: protected
- Cross sub-domain session fixing: not protected (out of scope)
The big problem with strict Referer checking is that the Referer header is suppressed by some browsers and by some networks. However, Barth et al have shown that for same-domain HTTPS requests, this is as little as 0.05% - 0.22%, and recommend that this method can be used for HTTPS connections. Since HTTPS connections cannot be tampered with (apart from in some rare internal-network-with-proxy situations), suppression of the Referer header can only be done by the browser, so if a user is having problems due to use of this method, they can simply be instructed to configure their browser differently or use a different browser.
(by Luke Plant)
CSRF protection should be done by the following method:
- Session independent nonce
- with backwards compatibility for the Django 1.0 token to avoid upgrade bumps
- Additionally, strict Referer header checking for HTTPS only
- Template tag for inserting the CRSF token
- with a backwards compatible CsrfResponseMiddleware which can be used at the same time as the template tag, to allow people to upgrade without upgrading all their apps.
Compared to Django 1.1:
- there is no dependence on the session framework, expanding the usefulness of this protection
- the false positives caused by session cycling are eliminated
- the vulnerability caused by automatically including the CSRF token in all POST forms (including external targets) can be avoided much more easily, and you are much more secure by default.
- some cross sub-domain vulnerabilities are opened up - regression. This is deemed an acceptable compromise, since there were already cross sub-domain vulnerabilities, and giving sub-domains to untrusted parties seems to be increasingly uncommon as most people buy their own domains. It also isn't possible to fix cross sub-domain session fixing without changes to browsers, so it is safer simply to say that sub-domains should only be given to trusted parties.
- for HTTPS connections, adding strict Referer checking closes the other vulnerabilities opened up by the change from 'HMAC of session identifier' to 'session independent nonce' (i.e. CSRF + MITM under HTTPS)
- there are required upgrade steps for contrib apps (including the admin) to continue working. Given the fact that without CSRF protection enabled by default ticket #510 is a security bug that should not be considered closed, and the fact that the CSRF protection provided in Django 1.1 is considered inadequate (due to its performance and security problems), I think this is acceptable.
This proposal is implemented in the lp-csrf_rework branch in http://bitbucket.org/spookylukey/django-trunk-lukeplant/ (with patches regularly copied to #9977)
The docs for this branch, which contain upgrade information, are here: http://bitbucket.org/spookylukey/django-trunk-lukeplant/src/tip/docs/ref/contrib/csrf.txt
Further work
- Could examine use of Origin header for CSRF protection, in addition to this.
- It's usefulness will really depend on whether browsers implement it, and how quickly - we won't be able to rely on it for a long time.
- Note that if we simply compare Origin and Host, we are still vulnerable to DNS rebinding attacks.
- General protection against DNS rebinding attacks. This would require a setting that listed allowable values of Host. This could be a separate middleware.

James Carney struggled his way through seminary. Not because he wasn't smart--he was--and not because it was the hardest thing he'd ever done--he had recently finished serving in World War II--but because it challenged him in new ways that only Jesuit training could. He studied philosophy and theology for hours and hours doing so in Latin. He reflected back upon his time in the military and what it meant for his life. He engaged his own self-discipline as he was formed in the crucible of his seminary experience and when he emerged, he was prepared for the calling that God had placed upon his life: the life of a missionary priest to a poverty-stricken people. James Carney--who asked to be called Padre Guadalupe in honor of "Our Lady of Guadalupe"--had been called and appointed to Honduras.
James lived a fairly typical life in Honduras as a local priest among a people who struggled daily to know where they would find their next meal and how to make sure their families were cared for. He said mass every week, he baptized, he offered the sacraments, he taught children, and otherwise did what any other priest was doing throughout the world. But James felt that in pursuing his calling and moving to Honduras he had somehow missed it. Instead, he began to consider the poverty of his people and the suffering they labored under. He knew it only indirectly. After all, he was an American citizen who was provided for and comfortable even if living among those who struggled. He began to become intimately acquainted with their lives by leaving the church buildings and entering into the homes of his people. Eventually, he would become a Honduran citizen and give up his American citizenship and passport. He donned the clothes of the people and slept on dirt floors, in hammocks, and wherever he was invited. James Carney found that within his calling was a deeper calling to become intimately associated with a people that the government did not care about.
Eventually, James Carney began to argue that the Church could not stand passively by and watch the poverty-stricken suffer but should, instead, try to alleviate their pain. He began arguing for social and economic justice in Honduras and this attracted the ire of those with power--those who had benefited from the broken Honduran system. Suddenly, he was accused of being a communist and heretic by those with power and the Bishop began to hear criticism of the priest who was a friend of the poor and outcast. As often happens to those who confront power with truth, the influential and powerful people exacted their revenge for James' slight against them and had him exiled from Honduras to Nicaragua. James' citizenship in the country he loved--where the people he loved lived--was revoked and he was told not to return.
While in Nicaragua, James Carney continued his ministry among the Nicaraguans while still dreaming of his beloved in Honduras. There had recently been revolution in Nicaragua where the Sandinista forces had overthrown a government that had failed and oppressed the poor. This was an inspiring event for James who began to associate with a guerrilla force intending to try to start the same thing in Honduras. They crossed the border into Honduras and James went with them as their "priest chaplain." James knew well that he would essentially sign his own death warrant by returning to the country where he belonged but was not welcome. The force was caught, interrogated, and tortured. This included James Carney. Finally, James Carney was taken in a helicopter over the jungle and tossed out of it alive. He fell to the ground and if he survived the fall, then he died of exposure, hunger, or thirst in the days that followed.
James Carney was clearly a man who was willing to fight for what he felt was worth fighting for. This is somewhat troubling for some people who are uncomfortable with the idea of a revolutionary priest that fights for a politicized cause. James' Marxist leanings further complicate the discussion for many Christians who distrust Marxism and its political trappings. Regardless, James can and should be remembered as a person willing to die for those he loved. By living with the poor and outcast of Honduras, he became so attached and connected to their lives that their suffering was his suffering. Their pain was his pain. Their yearning for revolution and change burned in his heart, as well. Because of this and God's calling upon James' life, James Carney was martyred because he refused to stop loving those that the powerful had deemed inconsequential and unlovable.

Teenagers eating cheap food
My friend Lorella emailed me earlier today with one of these photos attached and the following message:
OMG. At first I thought this was JLo. God I'm so embarrassed for her.
I laughed for an hour.
Anyway, it's obviously not JLo and the backup dancer, no. Here are Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber enjoying an economical picnic yesterday in LA. These two like their cheap eats, non? IHOP is another favourite. Is it a teenager thing? It must be. I remember food back then was quick and dirty. Then again, I was never a millionaire. Still, Bieber wasn't raised a millionaire. It's not like he's Prince William, born to fine dining and fancy mushrooms. Some teen qualities really are universal.
Um, did you hear that Bieber and One Direction were in studio together? Is that why Twitter is working so sh-t today?

Trenton, Tenn.
Futures are formed in different ways for different people. For Logan Cammarata, it started with a gift from his grandparents.
"Since I was six, I've always known I loved history. My grandparents bought me a book on Egypt, and ever since then I was hooked," said Cammarata. Since that first book, however, he has found his calling in Civil War history and loves to visit the various battlefields and historical sites here in Tennessee.
Cammarata, a Trenton native, is in his third year of college, but will graduate in the fall of 2013, a semester early. He is eager to start a career as a historian with the state park service and has already applied for a summer position.
He found a sense of home at UT Martin as a freshman, which has helped him feel comfortable on campus since then.
"It (UT Martin) is just big enough to where you can get pretty much whatever you want, but small enough that you feel like you're getting an individualized education," he explained.
However, his college search started not with UT Martin's size or hometown feeling, but with a single professor.
"I had heard about Dr. (David) Coffey before I came. I researched him and found out he has published several books and is an expert on the Civil War period," said Cammarata. "I finally met him, Dr. (Richard) Garlitz and Dr. (Nathan) Howard during a senior preview day, and I thought they were very nice and definitely know a lot about their subjects. … The history professors here are really high-quality."
Cammarata appreciates how his history professors have prepared him for the rigors of a historical profession.
"I feel like they (the history professors) really expand your knowledge, your ability to decipher primary and secondary sources, and your ability to write," he said, noting how his high school teachers often gave up on his writing skills.
After three years as a UT Martin student, Cammarata definitely has some advice to offer those still considering their college options: "The professors here are high-quality and it's an affordable school. … You don't have to pay $40-50,000 a year to get a quality education. You don't have to sink yourself into debt just to graduate from college. Plus, it's a smaller campus, so the professors have a better chance of being able to work with you individually; so you may actually get a better education here than you would at a larger college."

The Modified Gets Shock Absorbers And Steering
We left off last month with the front axle and springs mounted to the Model A frame of my Modified project, which means the next logical step is steering and shock absorbers. With a normal cross spring-suspended I-beam, selecting steering arms and the tie rod is pretty straightforward, as there's usually only one place the tie rod will fit; under (or through) the radius rods and under the chassis. The choice of cross steering, with something like a Vega box and universal joints connecting the steering column, or a solid column and box, such as an F-1 or stock '32-34 box, will determine whether or not you'll use a drag link from the left-hand spindle leading back to the steering box and pitman arm or not.
I'm aiming to build this roadster with as vintage an appearance as possible while using some new parts, so I opted for a solid column and box (which I have yet to source) and a drag link. Not wanting to place my tie rod ahead of the axle, out in front where it could suffer damage, meant it had to run across above the split wishbones, as well as over the quarter-elliptical springs I'd chosen to use. This meant careful selection of steering arms to ensure no interference between the tie rods and other components. I was lucky enough that Vintage Reproduction Parts sent me three sets of steering arms to make my selection from, and now I have done just that. I know this is something not everyone can do, so hopefully my following findings will help with selection for your projects.
OK, onto the shock absorbers. Modern thinking would dictate tubular shocks, which are available these days with built-in and/or adjustable compression and rebound adjustment (check out Rob's Fleetline suspension story on page 42, for instance), but not only did I want to run lever arm shocks to continue the vintage theme, I'd also been hoarding a swap meet–sourced set for over a decade that I wanted to use on just such a project. They're not early Ford Houdaille-type shocks; in fact, I'm not sure what they're from. They're Armstrong units, and by the shape of the arms on the front pair, they're from an Austin Healey Sprite or Ford Anglia, but the rears, with their curved arms, are a complete mystery to me.
I was pleasantly surprised, however, while attempting to identify them with the help of Google, that they have two valves, one for compression damping and one for rebound damping, and are easily adjustable. So nothing's new . . .

Axillary Lymph Node Dissection
Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
I have been diagnosed with an invasive breast cancer on my left side. The doctor wants to do an axillary lymph node dissection. Can you tell me what this entails?
Nancy J. O'Connor, MSN, CRNP Oncology Nurse Practioner for Breast Surgery at the Rowan Breast Center of the Abramson Cancer Center of the University of Pennsylvania, responds:
The lymph system is part of your body's defense against infection. It is made up of lymph vessels and lymph nodes. The lymph vessels collect fluid and protein from surrounding body tissues. The lymph nodes filter the fluid, trapping bacteria, viruses or even cancer cells. Because of this, lymph nodes in the armpit (axillae) are routinely checked as a standard part of breast cancer surgery for women who have invasive breast cancer. If breast cancer is non-invasive (in-situ ) then the lymph nodes are not routinely checked, though there are circumstances in which it would be recommended.
The lymph nodes clustered under the arm drain fluid from both the breast and arm. An axillary dissection removes the majority of lymph nodes, though not all (there are 3 levels of lymph nodes in the axilla, and the lymph node dissection removes levels one and two). On average, 15-25 lymph nodes are removed during an axillary lymph node dissection, though everyone is different and you may have more or less than that.
This procedure is more than a sentinel lymph node biopsy and most women stay overnight in the hospital. It is more uncomfortable and you may notice numbness underneath the upper part of your arm. The pain is usually nerve related and it is not uncommon to feel shooting burning pains or sensations as you are healing. There is also a temporary drain, which you will have to take care of at home. The drain usually stays in approximately 7-10 days. Most women do just fine caring for these drains at home, though they can be annoying!
