PISCATAWAY, NJ—The Houston Dash put together perhaps their most complete performance of the season in a 3-0 win over Sky Blue FC, with Tiffany McCarty scoring twice and goalkeeper Erin McLeod anchoring the team's first-ever shutout in their second consecutive win.
McCarty got the Dash off the mark in the 10th minute, faking her defender to the outside to create space at the top of the box then curling a perfectly-placed shot just over Sky Blue goalkeeper Jill Loyden. It marked the first time that the Dash have scored the opening goal of the match, as they've played from behind in each of their previous 10 games.
The Dash kept up the pressure to score 10 minutes later. Ella Masar, unmarked eight yards from goal, powered a header from Becky Edwards' cross that Loyden was only able to deflect into the net. Sky Blue protested for an offside call from the assistant referee, but none was forthcoming and the goal stood.
McLeod went through the first 45 minutes without much of a test, but did her part in preserving the shutout with several quality saves in the second half. Sky Blue halftime substitute Jonelle Filigno was the main threat, but McLeod denied her with a spectacular flying stop in the 48th minute and again one-on-one ten minutes later. McLeod's biggest moment, however, came as the Dash failed to clear a Filigno cross in the 66th minute and the captain came up with two close-range saves in quick succession.
Defender Whitney Engen made her Dash debut after joining the team earlier in the week from Swedish side Tyresö FF, along with fellow U.S. international Meghan Klingenberg. The center back impressed, commanding the back line en route to Houston's first clean sheet. Klingenberg, whose transfer papers were not cleared in time for the match, will have to wait for her introduction as the pair leaves for USWNT camp in preparation for a couple of matches against France.
The Dash continued pushing forward offensively in the second half looking for a third goal, including a Kaylyn Kyle goal that was disallowed for offside and shots from Teresa Noyola and Kealia Ohai that were saved well by Loyden.
It was Loyden's mistake in the 80th minute, though, that sealed the result for Houston. The keeper came off her line for a ball at the top of the box, but wasn't able to clear it as she collided with her own defender. McCarty picked up the loose ball and chipped it to the open net, going in off of Kelley O'Hara's head as the Sky Blue defender attempted to clear the shot off the line.
The Dash take their two-game winning streak home for a match against the Western New York Flash on Wednesday, followed by a Saturday game against FC Kansas City. Sky Blue travels to Illinois to face the Chicago Red Stars next Sunday.

dispatch rules can now take two different forms:
The old form: {PathMatchSpec, Module, Paramters}
The new form: {HostMatchSpec, [{PathMatchSpec, Module, Parameters}]}
The former is equivalent to the latter with HostMatchSpec={['*'],'*'}
HostMatchSpec is matched against one of (in order of preference):
X-Forwarded-For, X-Forwarded-Host, X-Forwarded-Server, Host
HostMatchSpec can have two forms:
{[HostPart], PortSpec}
The latter is equivalent to the former with PortSpec='*'
The list of host parts is matched against the hostname extracted from
a header in much the same way that PathMatchSpec is matched against
the path.
{[], root_resource, [x]}.
{['*'], [{[], root_resource, [x]}]}.
{{['*'],'*'}, [{[], root_resource, [x]}]}.
Will each match the root path of any host.
{["example","com"], [{[], root_resource, [x]},
{["static"], static_resource, [y]}]}.
Will dispatch the root of example.com to root_resource and
example.com/static to static_resource.
{['*',"example","com"], [{[], root_resource, [x]},
{["static"], static_resource, [y]}]}.
Will do the same as above, but also for any subdomains of
{{[host,"local"], 8000}, [{[], res_A, [x]}]}.
{{[host,"local"], 8001}, [{[], res_B, [x]}]}.
Will dispatch requests to ?.local:8000/ to res_A and requests
to ?.local:8001/ to resB, binding the host part immediately
preceding ".local" to 'host', such that
wrq:get_path_info(host, ReqData) would return the matched string.
Some notable features of this approach include complete backward compatibility (allowing new host-specific rules to be added to old URL-only dispatch lists without rewriting the entire list) and bringing the same simple pattern-matching style of dispatch to the host portion of the problem.
You may also be interested to see a new site for Webmachine at http://webmachine.basho.com/.
That site is currently just a different structure on the documents from the bitbucket wiki, but it is likely to grow over time.
As of this release, we are doing away with private development branches by default, and expect to work against the bitbucket tip by default. Making that same change for Riak has certainly paid off, and we hope that with Webmachine it will also allow people to more easily get involved and work against the active codebase.

The No. 2 seed Liberty women's soccer team looks to capture its fourth Big South Championship, Sunday. Standing in the way of the Lady Flames is No. 1 seed and two-time defending champion Radford, who took the regular season matchup, 3-0, on Oct. 9. Game time for the rematch is slated for 2 p.m., with the contest streaming live on ESPN3. Radford leads the all-time series versus the Lady Flames with a 16-7-4 mark. The two squads last met in tournament play during the 2011 Big South Championship semifinals, resulting in a 4-1 win for the Highlanders (Nov. 4, 2011) en route to their first of two straight titles. The defeat remains Liberty's lone postseason loss since capturing its most recent Big South Championship in 2005, going 6-1-4 in tournament action during the span.
How to Follow the Lady Flames Fans can access the ESPN3 broadcast by clicking the live video link on the women's soccer schedule/results panel. Matt Hogue will handle play-by-play duties, while Evan Lepler will serve as the color analyst. Live stats will also be available courtesy of the Coastal Carolina media relations office. A Look at Liberty The No. 2 seed Liberty women's soccer team clinched a spot in Big South Championship finals for the first time in seven years, defeating No. 6 seed High Point, Friday night, at CCU Soccer Field, 4-1. The Lady Flames received goals from four different Lady Flames – Casey Norris, Geena Swentik, Dawn Elmers and Alanna Dunkle. Brittany Aanderud posted two assists in the contest, giving her eight on the year. The sophomore is now tied with Madison Short (2010) for second highest single-season total in program history. Aanderud also has sole possession of the No. 3 spot on Liberty's all-time assist listing with 13 helpers. With the win, Liberty improved to 15-5-1 on the year, tying the 2000 squad for the most wins by a Liberty women's soccer team in a single season. Holly Van Noord played the entire contest in goal for the Lady Flames, finishing with nine saves. The netminder leads the league in shutouts and goals-against average (0.60) and is second in the Big South with a save percentage of .863. She needs one more shutout to surpass Radford's Che Brown for the Big South single-season shutout record.
Aanderud remains the team leader in total points with 18, posting five goals on the season to accompany her eight assists. Elmers is second with 14 points with six goals and two assists.
Defender Casey Norris has cemented her place in the Liberty record books, this season, appearing in more contests (82) throughout her collegiate career than any other Lady Flame in program history. Norris recently surpassed Liberty Athletics Hall of Famer Nancy Davis, who held the previous record with 78 total games. Five Earn All-Conference Honors This week, five Lady Flames received Big South All-Conference honors. Midfielder Brittany Aanderud and defender Casey Norris were named to the conference's first team, while junior defender Maddie Boone and goalkeeper Holly Van Noord earned second team honors. Van Noord and forward Julia Delgatti also secured spots on the conference's all-freshman squad. Much like Van Noord, Boone picked up a second accolade, as she was named to the all-academic team.
Radford at a Glance After playing to a draw with No. 4 Winthrop in the semifinals, Friday, the Highlanders advanced to the championship match, 5-4, on penalty kicks. Radford is 15-2-2, marking the second highest win total for the Highlanders in program history. Melanie Priestly paces Radford with 17 points on seven goals and three assists, followed by Sydney Golden who has 16 points (six goals, four assists). Senior goalkeeper Che' Brown has started 18 contests for Radford. She is second in the conference in goals-against average (0.63) and is tied with Van Noord in save percentage (.863). Brown also has six shutouts on the year.
Head Coach Jessica Hain Jessica Hain is in her fifth season as the head coach of the Lady Flames. Coming into the tournament, Hain has a career record of 55-49-14. In 2009, she earned Big South Coach of the Year honors, becoming the first coach in Big South history to take a last place team to first place the following season. Liberty's All-Time Marks in Big South Championship The Lady Flames are 17-8-6 all-time in the Big South Championship, capturing titles in 2000, 2001 and 2005. Liberty is currently second in the conference in tournament wins and is third all-time behind Radford (5) and the Panthers (4) with three championships. This season marks Liberty's sixth finals appearance, tying the Highlanders for the second most Big South finals appearances in conference history.
The Lady Flames' most common opponents in the tournament have been Charleston Southern (2-1-1), High Point (4-1) and UNC Asheville (2-0-2). The Lady Flames have also played Radford (2-1), Coastal Carolina (2-0), Winthrop (0-1-1), Gardner-Webb (0-0-1), Longwood (0-0-1) and former conference members UMBC (0-3), Elon (2-1), Howard (1-0), Towson (0-1) and Birmingham Southern (1-0). Lady Flames and the Big South Championship The Lady Flames captured their third Big South Championship by winning the 2005 Big South Women's Soccer Championship. Liberty's other titles came in 2000 and 2001.
With their appearance in 2006, the Lady Flames have played in five conference finals, posting a 3-1-1 record. Liberty made three straight trips to the Big South final from 1999 to 2001.
Liberty fell in its first appearance in the title game in 1999, 3-2, in overtime to Elon. The following year, the Lady Flames claimed their first championship with a 2-0 victory over Elon and then made it back-to-back titles with another 2-0 title-game win over the Phoenix in 2001.
Liberty returned to the title game in 2005 and added its third trophy since 2000, with a 3-0 victory over UNC Asheville.

What the Bible says about light and seed
The True Light "In him, (the Lord Jesus) was life, and that life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, but the darkness has not understood it. The true light that gives light to every man was coming into the world,…the world didn't recognize him." John 1:4,9.
The Good Seed and the Weeds "The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seeds in his field. But while everyone was sleeping, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat and went away." Matthew 13:24,25.

He invites suicide jumpers for a cup of tea
Don Ritchie moved to a house outside Sydney, Australia, for the clifftop view. But soon he was stopping suicides by inviting potential jumpers inside for a cup of tea.
Don Ritchie has been awarded a medal for bravery and an Order of Australia (the nation's second highest honor) for averting hundreds of would-be suicides by approaching people and offering them a cup of tea. 'I used to sell kitchen scales and bacon cutters,' he says. Now, 'I'm trying to sell people life.'
Jeremy Piper/AP
By Kathy Marks, / Correspondent / October 18, 2010
Sydney, Australia
Don Ritchie bought his house for the beautiful views it affords of Sydney Harbor and "the Gap," the tall sandstone cliffs that guard the harbor mouth. Rather than simply admiring those views, though, he has spent the past 40 or so years persuading tortured souls not to jump to their deaths.
When he moved here with his wife, Moya, Mr. Ritchie was aware of the Gap's reputation as Australia's most notorious suicide spot. But he didn't think much about it.
Almost from Day 1, though, he found himself keeping an eye on the rugged cliff tops. Since then, he has coaxed hundreds of people back from the brink: the desperate, the depressed, and the mentally disturbed.
Ritchie, now an octogenarian, has been awarded a bravery medal and an Order of Australia, the country's second-highest honor.
To some, he's the "Angel of the Gap." It's an accolade that makes him smile with embarrassment. "Now I'm an old angel," he says during an interview at his home in Vaucluse, a suburb east of Sydney.
He and Moya live across the road from the Gap. Through the picture window in their living room, he has a bird's-eye view of the cliffs, which attract a steady flow of tourists and joggers. If he sees someone lingering a little too long, he crosses the road and offers them a cup of tea.
Over the years, many have followed him home. Others have not – his kind words have been the last thing they heard.
The self-effacing former salesman shrugs when you ask him why he does what he does. "I'm just trying to save a life," he says. "I used to sell kitchen scales and bacon cutters, then I was state manager of a life insurance company. At the Gap I'm trying to sell people life."
Australians have been committing suicide at this spot since at least 1863, when a local woman, Anne Harrison, leapt to her death. An estimated 50 people kill themselves there every year.
The municipal council wants to install taller, curved fences; emergency telephones; and closed-circuit TV cameras. But it needs $2.1 million (Australian; US$1.96 million) and the federal government has twice turned down its request for funds.
Over the decades, Ritchie says, many of the faces of the people he's saved have blurred. But some he still remembers clearly, such as the woman he spotted from his bedroom window early one morning, sitting right on the cliff's edge.
"I quickly got dressed and went over," he recalls. "She had already put her handbag and shoes outside the fence, which is pretty common. They very often leave something behind – sometimes it's a note, but generally a piece of clothing.
"I said to her: 'Why don't you come over and have a cup of tea?' She came with me, and Moya made her breakfast. When she got home, she rang to say she was feeling much better. Two or three months later, she walked up the garden path with a magnum of French champagne."
Dawn O'Neil, chief executive of Lifeline Australia, a counseling service for the suicidal and depressed, says the intervention of someone like Ritchie can be crucial when people are considering killing themselves.
"We know from research around the world that most people who are suicidal are ambivalent about dying," she says. "Most don't want to die; they just want to end their pain.
"So there's a hesitation, and anyone or anything that can distract them, or assist them to get help, can save their lives."
Gordon Parker, executive director of the Black Dog Institute, a clinical facility that treats people with depression, says: "People go to places like the Gap in a state of perturbation. They pace up and down, and in that period of time there's a window of opportunity. Don has saved lives because he has gone up to people and chatted to them."
Tragically, Ritchie's efforts are not always successful. He recalls a 19-year-old who jumped as Ritchie stood beside him. As he fell, his hat flew off, and the wind blew it into Ritchie's hand.
"It turned out that as a little boy he had lived in the block of flats just behind our house, and he used to play with our grandkids," Ritchie says. How did that make him feel? He removes his glasses and rubs his eyes. "It's just another case," he says.
In years past, Ritchie would scale the fence and sometimes physically drag people to safety. Once a woman nearly hauled him over the edge with her. He claims not to be troubled by those he couldn't rescue. "You can't do much about it," he says, turning his palms upward.
Dianne Gaddin, whose daughter, Tracy, committed suicide in 2005, says Ritchie may have been there for Tracy when she went up to the Gap on previous occasions. "Maybe he changed her mind those times," says Ms. Gaddin, who now campaigns for better suicide-prevention measures.
She is full of admiration for Ritchie's work. "It takes an enormous amount of courage just to go up to a person who is going to jump," she says.
"Don has a charisma about him. He makes people feel safe, secure, and calm. I really think he is one special man."

Profile of Girija
I am amChartered Accountant and passionate about imparting teaching to students. I make the learning very interactive and particluarly make the concepts very clear by logical tutoring. I have myself been a very meritorius candidate in my academics and even able to clear tough professional exam like CA in my first attempt. I make learning of subjects like Cost Accounting, Maths and Accounting very interesting.
Academic Accomplishments
I have been an excellent student, meritoriously ranked throughout the tenure of my education. I have scored third rank in our school in Xth standard and scored highest marks in 6 out of 10 subjects. In Mathematics - Algebra and Geometry I had scored 147 / 150 in the Xth Maharashtra Board exam in 1982 and 145/ 150 in Science ie Physics, Chemistry + Biology
In my CA exam I scored 91/100 in Maths and Statistics Paper and 74/100 in Cost Accounting. I also scored 62 /100 in Accountancy paper in CA exams . CA exams are tough to even pass through and I have the credentials of scoring high in those papers.
The techniqe adopted by me while teaching would be interactive, with logical reasoning and quoting practical examples. The student will therefore not have only bookish or theoretical knowledge while learning and will start loving the subjects.
Even though I have been a Science graduate I have cleared my professional exams CA and ICWA in one sitting which is considered meritoriously commendable as they are the toughest professional exams to get through as on date in India. This was possible only due to the logical learning and strong fundamental insight into the subjects rather than bookish superficial knowledge
Professional AchievementsI have more than 20 years of industrial experience in my working professional career. Of these I have spent my 10 years of continuous stint with a US based multinational engineering company in a joint venture with TATAs. Thus there has been a perfect blend of an Indian TATAs culture with an International Exposure. I have also been an integral part of the training faculty during my working tenure. I have also conducted classroom training on Finance and Accounting for high ranking officials in companies like EMERSON and ANCHOR PANASONIC to name a few.I also have the credentials of being a core team member in the implementation of ERP twice during my tenure of working. This was a complete profile as a Functional consultant working closely with the technical consulting team. I have also visited abroad many times to coordinate the technical support setup as our Indian entity was the most complex structure in our entire Asia Pacific group whenever any business analytics tools, hyperion etc was being develop for the Global group.
|Language of Teaching
My Teaching Philosophy
- As a Teacher, I use so many examples while teaching.

Preheat the oven to 190°C. Bring a few inches water to a boil in a large pot and add salt. Cook the escarole for 5 minutes, then drain. Cover the garlic cloves with water in a saucepan and simmer for 20 minutes. Drain and let cool. Squish the garlic pulp from the jackets into a bowl and mash with a fork.
Meanwhile, melt 3 tablespoons butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the sage and stir. Add the squash, stir and season with salt and pepper. Add the chicken stock and cook, stirring occasionally, for 15 minutes. All the stock should be absorbed and the squash should be lightly browned and tender. Remove from the heat. Melt the remaining 3 tablespoons butter in another medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the flour and whisk for 1 minute. Whisk in the milk and mashed garlic and season with salt, pepper and a little nutmeg. Cook until slightly thickened (the sauce should just coat the back of the spoon evenly without breaking up on the spoon's surface).
Whisk together the pumpkin puree, 2 eggs and some salt and pepper in a small bowl. In another bowl, whisk together the ricotta, half the Parmigiano Reggiano and the remaining egg. Preheat the oven to 190°C. Pour about half the garlic sauce into the bottom of a 9 by 11-inch baking dish. Add a layer of lasagne sheets and then half the pumpkin mixture. Make another layer of lasagne sheets and spread with all of the ricotta mixture, followed by the squash and then escarole.
Top with half the Fontina, another layer of lasagne sheets, the remaining pumpkin and another layer of lasagne sheets.

In 2010, professor and game designer Jesse Schell gave an amazing talk at the DICE gaming summit that went viral. His topic: the gamification—the adding of points and play systems—to everything imaginable. He imagined a crazy future where we got points for everything from brushing teeth to giving each other high fives.
Three years later, just two days ago, he delivered a follow-up at the new DICE summit. He covers a lot: from the problem with adding chocolate to staplers to the wisdom of Disneyland ticket prices, with detours about just about everything.
You'll laugh. You'll agree. You'll probably disagree, too. Enjoy!
NOTE: If you're pressed for time and just want to see one crazy, great bit, jump to 10:36.
Oh, and warning, the end's a bit weird. Poor guy.

Adopt - A - Highway Program
The Texas Department of Transportation started the first Adopt-A-Highway Program in 1985. Ohioans traveling through Texas saw the blue and white signs and the litter free roads. They came back and wrote some letters to the Governor about starting an Adopt-A-Highway Program here. In the fall of 1989, three districts tried out a pilot program. As more people found out about the program, interest spread. The following spring, Adopt-A-Highway became official and was implemented statewide.
Volunteer groups adopt a two mile section or an interchange along a State Route, United States Route or Interstate. Groups who sign up with the program adopt for two years. We ask that they pick up a minimum of four times each year. Participants in Adopt-A-Highway should be volunteers and not paid to pick up litter. Groups can partner with others in adopting, but may not pay another group to pick up litter. The Department of Transportation will provide safety training, trash bags, disposable safety vests and two signs to be used at the beginning of the two mile section. The only cost to each group is their time.
Ohio has over 1,500 groups, with at least one group in each county. In addition to Adopt-A-Highway volunteers, prison inmates and Department of Transportation employees also pick up litter along Ohio's highways.

Glee Wheels
Only one more sleep and Glee comes back. Jumpy claps!
Tomorrow's episode focuses on Artie and his backstory. Also his penis. No, for reals. Great interview here with Kevin McHale who plays Artie about his hidden talents and about the musical numbers featured in the new episode. Billy Idol. (thanks Alicia!)
Photos attached of Kevin, Chris Colfer, Jenna Ushkowitz, and Cory Monteith were in LA at another book tour signing the other day. And the indomitable Jane Lynch hosted an event at the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Community Center in New York last night.
You're dealing with children. They need to be terrified. It's like mother's milk to them.

Principal Proposed Uses
Hoodia is a cactus-like plant that grows in the Kalahari desert in South Africa and Namibia. Advertising literature associated with hoodia claims that the herb has been used for thousands of years by the San people (commonly, though inappropriately, known as Bushmen) in order to stave off hunger and thirst during long desert treks. However, this statement has not been independently verified. Other sources state that the plant was used by the San rarely, and only as a food—in fact, as a disfavored food consumed only when better tasting food sources were not available.
What Is Hoodia Used for Today?
In approximately 2002, hoodia began to be heavily marketed as a supplement for weight-loss. However, there is no reliable evidence that it offers any benefit.
The manufacturer Phytopharm cites a double-blind, placebo-controlled study of 18 overweight people in the UK who were given either hoodia or placebo for 15 days. Reportedly, people in the hoodia group consumed 1,000 fewer calories daily than those in the placebo group, despite remaining sedentary. This would be an enormous effect, if true. However, this study was small, it was performed by the manufacturer without outside supervision, and it has never been published. Only if a larger, independent study verifies these results will it be possible to say that there is meaningful evidence supporting the use of hoodia for weight loss.
The only published evidence on hoodia is far too preliminary to be relied upon. One animal study found that when the presumed active ingredient of hoodia is injected into the brains of rats their appetite decreases. 1 The authors conclude from their research that hoodia may work by affecting metabolism in the brain. However, injections in the brain are quite a different matter from oral consumption and could suppress appetite simply by being traumatic. Potentially more meaningful animal studies compared hoodia against placebo when fed to rats. 2,3 Supposedly, benefits were again seen. However, these studies were published only in abstract form, and therefore the results cannot be independently evaluated. In any case, numerous products cause weight loss in animals but do not prove to be useful treatments when tested in people.
The purported active ingredient of hoodia is a substance christened "P57." For a time, the drug company Pfizer investigated P57 as a possible weight-loss drug, but they ceased research in 2003.
Safety Issues
None are known. However, no meaningful independent studies of hoodia's safety have been reported. Safety in pregnant or nursing women, young children, or people with liver or kidney disease has not been established.

Hydraulic Valves for Motor Vehicle Brake Systems Test Procedure
The SAE Recommended Practice specifies the test procedure to assure valve assemblies which are satisfactory for vehicle usage, and it is applicable to new valve assemblies for commercial production. It covers such valves where they are employed in passenger car and light truck brake systems utilizing motor vehicle hydraulic brake fluids. This procedure and requirements (SAE J1137) was developed for brake fluids conforming to SAE J1703 and FMVSS 116 (DOT 3); however, it may be utilized for valves which use DOT 4 or DOT 5 brake fluid. These procedure specifications were developed for base brake operation and do not consider the effects of ABS (anti-lock brake systems) or traction control systems which may have a significant effect on the valve. Careful analysis of the particular type ABS and/or traction control (if included in the system) should be made and additional tests are required which are not included in this document.

Google is trying to attract more celebrities to its social network, Google+, and is attempting to verify high-profile celebrity users as part of a new "celebrity acquisition" plan.
As part of the plan, Google will devise a system to verify the identities of public figures who sign up for Google+. The validation process would prevent people from impersonating celebrities and perhaps feature a button on legitimate profiles similar to Twitter's "verified" stamp, according to CNN.
However, that's only half the problem -- the other half is getting celebrities to join Google+ in droves. So far, at least one celebrity, William Shatner, was booted off the system for "violating standards," according to the Star Trek star. (His account was reinstated a few hours later.) Some celebs, like Lady Gaga, President Barack Obama and Tina Fey, may have stopped by the Google campus but so far haven't made a public splash on Google's social network.
U.S. & World
CNET says that some celebrities are on Google+, such as 50 Cent, Wil Wheaton and Alyssa Milano, but others may be staying put at Twitter until they can be assured of their verified accounts. (By last count there were eight Lady Gagas on Google+.)

Before you posted this I found formulas for the arclength and tangent angle of the cat curve, which let me gin up something in Perl to solve numerically for the ratio of interest....and it was close to 95%.
On seeing this I went back to my equations and see the problem,
a = tan(PI/6)/L, not a = 2*tan(PI/6)/L. With that fix the parabolic approximation comes in with an answer at 95% too. So...the mystery of the origin of 83% remains.
NCPatrick---that is an EXCELLENT cartoon. A number of fundamental equations in there I recognize, and a bunch that I don't. This is T-shirt material....!
(alias ProfessorHammock on youtube)
I did not think that the 30° angle was specifically related to the 83% rule. I thought the 30° bit came from the force on the suspension, once you get much past 40-sum degrees the load almost exponentially increases. I of course can't find any chart to back that up, and I'm no mathlete so I can't prove it out mathematically either.
Good luck,

Any chance it's just empirical knowledge. As people hung the hammocks they noticed were it was most comfortable and so came up with the ridge line. After the fact somebody decided to build a new hammock of different length, measured the ridge line, measured the hammock length, bam found a ratio and that ratio worked as hammock length changed.
I'm from the TLAR school "That looks about right" although it's probably the TFAR "That feels about right" school which created this rule.
I may be slow... But I sure am gimpy.

Won't any old coot sure he's as smart as back then check the records on this?
Is Hennessy really the originator of the guidance? Or is that a just so story,too.
Are you sure that 83.33% is not a mis-transcription, a copy error of 86.6%, .866 being the cosine of a 30 degree angle. (Sit in the center of a 100" hammock stretching between trees 86.6" apart and the hang angle will be 30 degrees) and the ridgeline barely taut.)
[A big BTW is that much as folks like to refer to cat cuts and the bridge hammock (BH) as being catenary curve based, according to references in raifenuke's comment, a suspension bridge is better modeled as a simpler parabola, what with its very heavy deck, and so certainly for the same reasons --negligible weight of the bridge hammock compared to even Grizz's lightest beneficiaries -- should bridge hammocks. All well covered in prior notes here?]

text: It's the annual dolphin count! Tomorrow, July 16, members of the National Aquarium's Animal Rescue team will be along the coast of Ocean City, Maryland, counting dolphins. Staff and volunteers will spend a few hours on the beach watching the water for passing dolphins and filling out data sheets. Teams will be stationed on the beaches at 40th Street and 130th Street and at Assateague State Park. There will also be a vessel-based team aboard an Ocean City Coast Guard boat. Why are we counting dolphins? Annual dolphin counts help marine mammal specialists gather long-term information about dolphin populations, reproduction rates and ocean health. We have learned that bottlenose dolphins use Maryland waters as a thoroughfare for migration, summertime breeding and feeding along the way. Looking at population numbers over the years can help to determine the health of the coastal ecosystem, as well as the abundance of prey. With your help, we will continue to gather and analyze this information and learn more about the state of our waters and the dolphin populations that are found off our coast. There are two ways to join in the fun: 1. Find us on the beach! If you are in the Ocean City area tomorrow from 9 a.m. to noon, look for our Aquarium teams in blue at 40th Street and 130th Street. Bring your binoculars and help us count dolphins. 2. Enter our dolphin count contest! Think you know how many dolphins we will spot tomorrow? Text "count" and your guess to 30644 and you could win a pair of tickets to the Aquarium. (Msg and data rates apply.) The contest will end at 1 p.m. ET on Friday. The official count and winners will be announced here, so please check back. Good luck and happy counting!

As one person said, these are "da bomb". They really are. Every person I have served the to has demanded the recipe including a ten year old boy who insists that his Mom fix them for him as often as possible. They travel and reheat so well that I made them my traditional New baby, new home, condolence, off to college and any other reason to give a meal meal. It's always well received and enjoyed. I couldn't be more satisfied with this great recipe find.

In the seepage water treatment installation at the Münster waste management center, the ZS VSD oil-free screw blower from Atlas Copco supplies aerobic bacteria with air.
Blowers Class 0 Compressor Technique oil-free Rotary screw smart AIR solutions Waste water treatment Compressor Technique
The low-maintenance technology and the integrated frequency inverter were the deciding factors to use the energy-efficient ZS 55+ VSD.
The installation has been treating the seepage water from the 2 central waste dumps, one of which is still in operation, for 15 years.
"One of two wastedumps has already been closed," operating manager Christian Lüke explained. "But water will still seep through for a long time, which we will need to treat in the main waste water treatment plant before final cleaning."
Household garbage deposited there contains decades-worth of medicines, half empty containers of home oil changes, or paint leftovers, despite waste separation.
"Certain ingredients eventually find their way in, in spite of the best waste separation efforts," Lüke said.
I can't smell anything at all here," the visitor comments as he enters the seepage water treatment installation at the Münster waste management center."
The oil-free ZS screw blower range is designed for volume flows from around 250 to just under 4600 m3/h and excess operating pressures up to 1.2 bar. The integrated speed regulation (variable speed drive, VSD) installed in the machine in Münster automatically adjusts to the precise current air requirement. The speeds of the old blowers could only be regulated with external frequency inverters.
The ZS 55+ produces, volume flows of up to 1680 m3/h and is suitable for pressure increases between 0.3 and 1.2 bar. You can see the muddy brown water from the bridges over the basins. The clarifier basins where the seepage water is pumped in first are six to seven meters deep.
Münster uses the energy-saving process of upstream denitrification; this is done in the first fifth of the basin where anaerobic bacteria are active and do not need any oxygen. The sewage water flows over an overflow into the aerated nitrification. The nominal pressure for aeration is about 0.86 bar.
"We need 0.6 to 0.7 bar just to compensate for the pressure of the water column," Rasch explains, "and an additional 0.2 bar to inflate the membranes of the aeration pipes."
In the meantime, the Atlas Copco ZS VSD screw blower operates permanently in the installation; one of the two rotary lobe blowers is switched on if there is a large air requirement. The third blower is used as a reserve and is operated alternately with the second old device.
The direct drive and the integrated frequency inverter were the the deciding factors, Christian Lüke said about the decision to acquire the ZS 55+ VSD when one of the three old rotary piston blowers had expensive motor damage."
These older machines require more maintenance due to the v-belt drive between motor and gear than the Atlas Copco screw blower where the motor and compressor element form one unit, Lüke said. The variable speed motor and the screw element are flange-mounted directly on the gear housing.
"The bacteria can survive for a maximum of half a day without aeration," the engineer stressed, "so we need to be sure that he blower will operate absolutely reliably."
The new compressor fulfills this requirement, ensuring an uninterrupted supply of oil-free compressed air.

NBN lags on rollout program
NBN Co will need to dramatically boost the speed at which it rolls out its fibre-optic network if it is to meet connection targets it set only last year.
Figures released on Monday show only 72,400 premises had been passed by the end of December after 18 months of fibre rollout. In order to meet its own targets, NBN Co will need to pass 268,000 premises in the next five months.
The company's target is to pass 341,000 new and existing premises with fibre-optic cable by June this year.
Chief executive Mike Quigley vowed to improve the rollout in the second quarter of the year. He said the slow connection rate was reflective of progress in ''the early stages of the rollout'' and blamed delays on difficulties sorting out contractual agreements it must sign with other companies such as Telstra.
''The rollout is not a linear progression, but a rapid ramp-up. We are targeting to pass more premises in the final quarter of the financial year than we will have passed in the entire project up to the beginning of that quarter,'' he said.
''Additional construction resources will be added over the coming months to help achieve these targets.''
NBN Co counts as ''passed'' premises where cable has been laid in the street but a house is yet to be connected.
According to figures released by NBN Co, the company expects to pass more than 50,000 premises next month. NBN Co predicts a rapid acceleration of the rollout, from close to 100,000 premises in March to about 150,000 in April.
In May, the company hopes to pass more than 200,000 premises, reaching 280,000 in the final month of the financial year.
Opposition communications spokesman Malcolm Turnbull was quick to dismiss NBN Co's definition of ''premises completed or under construction''.
''Construction begins according to the NBN Co without anyone even putting a crowbar into the ground. It begins 'when NBN Co issues contract instructions to its contractors for a Fibre Service Access Module', so essentially at a planning stage,'' he said on his website.
In August The Age reported that the cost of the nation's biggest infrastructure project had blown out by $2.9 billion over the next 10 years with the deadline pushed back by six months.
At the time, Mr Quigley and Communications Minister Stephen Conroy said construction costs would rise 3.9 per cent to $37.4 billion and the deadline for rolling out the high-speed internet connection to Australian homes had been pushed back to June 2021.
Higher labour costs, longer network distances and future upgrades to wireless and satellite broadband equipment have pushed up the cost. Operating expenses - primarily staff costs - have jumped from $3.7 billion to $7.8 billion, while savings have been made in other areas.

Christmas = Magic!
|1996 WDW Christmas Parade
The magic of Christmas & the magic of Disney fit together perfectly. In 1996 we took our children to Walt Disney World just before Christmas and in 2010 we were there just after Christmas. Fortunately, we have been there many times; with our first visit in 1986 and our next coming up in February 2014.
We love Disney World. They know how to entertain people & do it very well. At Christmas there is an extra sparkle everywhere you look. There are candy canes, poinsettias, marching bands and toys in every corner. Christmas trees in every Disney theme abound. There are many places to pose for photos, as my children know. I'm afraid I posed them everywhere!
|1996 Walt Disney World; our children
Best of all was Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party in 1996. It was held at the Magic Kingdom & a pass was needed to attend. We treated ourselves to this special event. Laughing on the rides, sipping hot chocolate and watching the parade I truly felt like a child again. When Tinker Bell flew over to the castle, touched her wand to the Christmas tree and millions of little lights glittered I felt the wonder. All that magic of Christmas past was warming my heart.

Guns N' Roses Concertgoer Reportedly Forced to Remove Slash T-Shirt by Venue Security
A Guns N' Roses fan was reportedly forced to remove his Slash shirt before allowed into GN'R's London gig on May 31. James Revell, 18, took his story to NME as he felt disrespected by both the band and the venue when security denied Revell entrance into the O2 Arena.
This isn't the first odd Guns N' Roses story we've had recently. The band had been accused of ordering 20 models to be in the front row at their recent Scotland show, followed by the models getting backstage access to "party" with the band. This accusation was quickly swatted down by GN'R guitarist Ron 'Bumblefoot' Thal.
According to NME, an unnamed source told the publication that Revell was forced to attend the show bare-chested under his jacket because "no one was allowed" to wear a Slash shirt to the concert. When the source asked a security guard if it was true, the guard allegedly replied, "We were told by the management not to allow anyone into the O2 Arena who is wearing a Slash T-shirt and we are asking anyone who is to remove it and if they refuse they will be turned away."
Revell himself spoke with NME to tell his side of the story. "I felt very angry because I was looking after my little brother at the time and felt as though my freedom to wear what I want had been taken away from me," says Revell. "However, I did not react angrily as I didn't want to spoil the show for him."
The fan continued, "I believe they asked me to do this because Axl Rose has some problem with Slash and if he saw me wearing the shirt he might have stormed off stage."
Guns N' Roses began the show over an hour after its scheduled start time, which isn't that bad considering GN'R's history, but Revell feels as if it was another proverbial middle-finger pointed at the fans. "I have never experienced anything as insulting as that at a concert before," says Revell. "And I had to sit there in my little brothers jumper and wait for Axl to turn up well over an hour late, which we could only stay to watch 3 songs as we had to catch a train back. I think that Axl Rose doesn't appreciate his fans or anyone for that matter, he needs to grow up and stop acting like a child."
While we can't confirm Revell's claims, we do know that classic GN'R member Izzy Stradlin showed up to perform some tunes with the band. Check out video footage here.

6.6.3 Indirect Forcing by NOx Emissions
Through production of tropospheric O3, emissions of nitrogen oxides (NOx = NO + NO2) lead to a positive radiative forcing of climate (warming), but by affecting the concentration of OH they reduce the levels of CH4, providing a negative forcing (cooling) which partly offsets the O3 forcing. Due to non-linearities in O3 photochemical production together with differences in mixing regimes and removal processes, the O3 and OH changes strongly depend on the localisation of the NOx surface emission perturbation, as calculated by Hauglustaine and Granier (1995), Johnson and Derwent (1996), Berntsen et al. (1996), Fuglestvedt et al. (1996, 1999) and Gupta et al. (1998). The CH4 and O3 forcings are similar in magnitude, but opposite in sign, as calculated by Fuglestvedt et al. (1999). Due to differences in CH4 and O3 lifetimes, the NOx perturbation on the CH4 forcing acts on a global scale over a period of approximately a decade, while the O3 forcing is of regional character and occurs over a period of weeks. Based on three-dimensional model results, Fuglestvedt et al. (1999) have calculated that the O3 radiative forcing per change in NOx emission (10-2 Wm-2 per TgN/yr) is 0.35 and 0.29 for the USA and Scandinavia, respectively, and reaches 2.4 for Southeast Asia. The CH4 forcing per change in NOx emission ranges from -0.37 (Scandinavia) and -0.5 (USA) to -2.3 (Southeast Asia) in the same units. Additional work is required to assess the impact of NOx on the radiative forcing of climate.
Deep convection can remove pollutants from the lower atmosphere and inject them rapidly into the middle and upper troposphere and, occasionally, into the stratosphere. Changes in convective regimes associated with climate changes have therefore the potential to significantly modify the distribution and the photochemistry of O3 in a region where its impact on the radiative forcing is the largest. Based on the tropospheric O3 column derived from satellite during the 1997 to 1998 El Niño, Chandra et al. (1998) reported a decrease in O3 column of 4 to 8 Dobson Units (DU) in the eastern Pacific and an increase of 10 to 20 DU in the western Pacific, largely as a result of the eastward shift of the tropical convective activity. Lelieveld and Crutzen (1994) showed that convective transport can change the budget of O3 in the troposphere. Berntsen and Isaksen (1999) have also indicated that changes in convection can modify the sensitivity of the atmosphere to anthropogenic perturbations as aircraft emissions. Their study indicates that reduced convective activity leads to a 40% increase in the O3 response to aircraft NOx emissions due to modified background atmospheric concentrations. In addition to that, lightning is a major source of NOx in the troposphere and thus contributes to the photochemical production of O3 (Huntrieser et al., 1998; Wang et al., 1998; Hauglustaine et al., 2001; Lelieveld and Dentener, 2000). In the tropical mid- and upper troposphere, modelling studies by Lamarque et al. (1996), Levy et al. (1996), Penner et al. (1998a), and Allen et al. (2000) have calculated a contribution of lightning to the NOx levels of 60 to 90% during summer. Direct observations by Solomon et al. (1999) of absorption of visible radiation indicate that nitrogen dioxide can lead to local instantaneous radiative forcing exceeding 1 Wm-2. These enhancements of NO2 absorption are likely to be due both to pollution and to production by lightning in convective clouds. Further measurements are required to bracket the direct radiative forcing by NO2 under a variety of storm and pollution conditions. On the basis of two-dimensional model calculations, Toumi et al. (1996) calculated that for a 20% increase of lightning the global mean radiative forcing by enhanced tropospheric O3 production is about 0.1 Wm-2. Based on an apparent correlation between lightning strike rates and surface temperatures, Sinha and Toumi (1997) have suggested a positive climate feedback through O3 production from lightning NOx in a warmer climate. Improved modelling and observations are required to confirm this hypothesis.
Aircraft emissions also have the potential to alter the composition of the atmosphere and induce a radiative forcing of climate. According to IPCC (1999), in 1992 the NOx emissions from subsonic aircraft are estimated to have increased O3 concentrations at cruise altitudes in the Northern Hemisphere mid-latitude summer by about 6% compared with an atmosphere without aircraft. The associated global mean radiative forcing is 0.023 Wm-2. In addition to increasing tropospheric O3, aircraft NOx are expected to decrease the concentration of CH4 inducing a negative radiative forcing of -0.014 Wm-2 for the 1992 aircraft fleet. Again, due to different O3 and CH4 lifetimes, the two forcings show very different spatial distribution and seasonal evolution (IPCC, 1999). The O3 forcing shows a marked maximum at northern mid-latitudes, reaching 0.06 Wm-2, whilst the CH4 forcing exhibits a more uniform distribution, with a maximum of about -0.02 Wm-2 in the tropical regions. Based on IPCC (1999), the O3 forcing calculated for 2050 conditions is 0.060 Wm-2 and the CH4 forcing is -0.045 Wm-2.

BOSTON – Gene therapy has great potential for treating certain diseases, such as Leber congenital amaurosis, by providing therapeutic genes to target cells. Administration of a gene therapy vector carrying the RPE65 gene to one eye in each of 12 patients with congenital blindness due to RPE65 mutations led to improvements in retinal and visual function and proved to be a safe and stable procedure. In this follow-up study, published in the Feb. 8 issue of Science Translational Medicine, the same group of researchers, including Eric A. Pierce, M.D., Ph.D., director of the Ocular Genomics Institute at Mass. Eye and Ear, set out to discover if it was possible to safely administer the vector and therapeutic transgene to the other eye of these patients.
The lead authors of this new paper are Jean Bennett, M.D., Ph.D., and Albert Maguire, M.D., both of the F.M. Kirby Center of Molecular Ophthalmology, Scheie Eye Institute, University of Pennsylvania and the Center for Cellular and Molecular Therapeutics at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia; Kathy High, M.D., Center for Cellular and Molecular Therapeutics at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia; and Manzar Ashtari, Ph.D., Department of Radiology, The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia.
The authors described the study in the summary abstract:
A big concern was whether the first gene therapy injection might have primed the patients' immune system to respond to the adeno-associated virus (AVV) vector or the product of the transgene that it had delivered.
To test the safety and efficacy of a second administration of gene therapy to the second eye, the authors demonstrated that readmission was both safe and effective in animal models. Then they selected three of the original 12 patients and readmininstered the AVV vector and its RPE65 transgene to the contralateral eye. They assessed safety by evaluating inflammatory responses, immune reactions and extraocular exposure to the AVV vector. Efficacy was assessed through qualitative and quantitative measures of retinal and visual function including the ability to read letters, the extent of side vision, light sensitivity, the pupillary light reflex, the ability to navigate in dim light and evidenced from neuroimaging studies of cortical activation, which demonstrated that signals from the retina were recognized by the brain.
The researchers did not discover any safety concerns and did not identify immune responses to the vector or transgene product. Before and after comparisons of psychophysical data and cortical responses provided the authors with evidence that gene therapy readministration was effective and mediated improvements in retinal and visual function in the three patients. The researchers report that the lack of immune response and the robust safety profile in this readministration gene therapy study may be due in part to the immune-privileged nature of the eye, and the low dose and very pure preparation of the AVV vector.
