Yale Holds Nation's Highest Scoring Team To 62 Points
LEXINGTON, Va. – Yale's size won out over VMI's quickness. As a result, the Bulldogs will play Murray State for the CollegeInsider.com Tournament championship on Thursday night.
Yale held the nation's top scoring team nearly 30 points below its season average and earned a convincing 75-62 win over VMI before a boisterous crowd of 4,784 at Cameron Hall.
The Bulldogs (19-13) scored 30 points in the paint and dominated the boards, outrebounding the Keydets 45-27.
"I looked out at the teams before the game, and we were bigger at every spot," said James Jones, The Joel E. Smilow, Class of 1954 Head Coach of Men's Basketball.
Still, the Bulldogs had to neutralize VMI's run-and-gun offense, which they did to perfection. The Keydets got very few easy baskets in transition.
"They are really, really quick, but we did a great job of controlling the tempo and getting the ball inside," said Javier Duren, Yale's point guard.
Duren, who had five inches on VMI's guards, led the way with 19 points, seven rebounds and six assists. Justin Sears added 15 points before leaving the game midway through the second half with an injury. Brandon Sherrod scored 13 points and Armani Cotton contributed 11.
Rodney Glasgow had 20 points, and D.J. Covington added 17 for VMI, which finishes the season with a 22-13 overall record.
The championship game will be Thursday at 7 p.m. and will be televised on the CBS Sports Network. Murray State cruised to a 98-75 victory over Pacific in the second semifinal.
The Racers are 22-11 and finished 13-3 in the Ohio Valley Conference.
The Bulldogs have won three road games and beaten four teams that won at least 20 games during their CIT run.
Tuesday's game didn't start well for Yale. The Keydets led 8-2 after three minutes, but the Bulldogs outscored them 73-54 the rest of the way.
Yale shot 53.8 percent from the field in the second half and was 6-of-18 on three-pointers for the game.
The score was tied at 26 with four minutes left in the first half, but the Bulldogs used an 11-1 run to take a 37-27 lead at the intermission.
The lead grew to 16 early in the second half, but VMI made a run. Covington's layup pulled the Keydets within 64-58 with 5:30 left and had the raucous crowd in a frenzy. Duren, though, answered with a big jump shot, and VMI never got closer than seven the rest of the way.
"The atmosphere was terrific, but we did a great job of keeping our composure," Duren said.
The Bulldogs got contributions from a number of sources. Nick Victor had five points, including a big put back with less than two minutes to play, and added a game-high nine rebounds. Greg Kelley and Jesse Pritchard both made important three-pointers.
Yale will have little time to prepare for the championship game. The Bulldogs will spend much of Wednesday traveling to Kentucky.
"Our guys are used to it," Jones said of the quick turnaround. "It's a not a problem. We do it every week [in Ivy League play]."
Added Duren, "We're cherishing the moment. We've got to pull together for one more game. We will have six months to rest."

Memories of 1950 loss officially erased
When this World Cup began, Luiz Felipe Scolari's objective was to give the Brazilian supporters a performance that would make them forget forever what happened in 1950 in the Maracana. Well ... mission accomplished. The Maracanazo, the shocking 2-1 defeat to Uruguay that cost Brazil the World Cup they assumed they'd already won, is now only the second-worst night in their history.
That 1950 result was so stunningly awful that poets compared it to Hiroshima. Pele's father burst into tears in front of the television at full-time. His son, just 10 years old at the time, according to legend, comforted him and promised he would grow up and win the World Cup himself. Many of the players responsible for that failure were pariahs for decades afterward.
What will become of these players?
They are millionaires, most of them several times over. They will continue to earn fortunes, regardless of what happened in Belo Horizonte. Their ignominy will not diminish their bank balance. Yet the embarrassment will be so much more public. Sixty-four years ago, media coverage was limited. Now, the faces of these players are known across the world. Their shame is universal, and there is nowhere to hide.
There was no hint of what was to come when the national anthems were played. Brazil sang loudly, in customary style, while David Luiz and Julio Cesar held up Neymar's No. 10 shirt. In retrospect, they might have been better hanging it on a stick and planting it in the German penalty area. It would have made as much of an impact as Fred did.
Perhaps it would have been easier to take if this were simply a case of a wonderful team playing the football of the future and changing the world like the Hungarians did in 1953 with their epochal 6-3 victory over England. But Germany are not Hungary. They are a very good football team, and they played well, but Brazil had both hands in their own destruction -- and at least one foot as well.
The first goal came from calamitous marking, the second from lethargic defending and all else from disorder and chaos. Toward the end of the first half, the Brazilian players were dead-eyed, shuffling after the Germans like zombies, lacking the cognitive functions to draw up any kind of strategy, content merely to trudge lifelessly in the direction of anything that moved.
Their defending was horrific. Even if Neymar had been fit, he couldn't have done anything about the back line's inability to track runners. Even without Thiago Silva, Brazil fielded two Champions League-winning centre-backs in David Luiz and Dante. There is a bare minimum of competence and diligence expected from professional footballers. Too many men in yellow shirts fell well below those levels.
Brazil 1-7 Germany -- reaction
- Marcotti: Scolari at a loss to explain
- Jones: Seven stages of grief for Brazil
- Duarte: Haunting defeat for the Selecao
- Delaney: Three Points - Brazil broken by Germany
- Low: German plan worked perfectly
- Behind the Numbers: Germany's historic win
- Photo Gallery: Best of Brazil vs. Germany
- Klose breaks World Cup goals record | Highlight
- Social reaction: Brazil, did that just happen?
A brief rally after halftime was a fig leaf of dignity, then the Germans tore even that away and stamped it into the ground. The Brazilian supporters -- those who weren't crying their eyes out or hurriedly leaving the stadium -- could only applaud their passing, with some of them shouting "ole" to lighten the mood. Andre Schurrle's second-half strike, a spectacular volley, was the sort of goal that should have decided a game. Instead, it was just a heavy kick at a twitching body on the roadside. It seemed inappropriate to even celebrate.
Scolari, in typical style, urged everyone to blame him. And they will. He surely won't survive this. But where do Brazil turn from here? How many of the players will ever be able to pull on a Brazil shirt again? With the Copa America next summer in Chile, a reboot is required if further humiliation is to be avoided.
Perhaps the only real hope for the Brazilian people is that somewhere out there, a young boy is now comforting his crying father and telling him he will avenge what happened this awful night. The difference is that this time, it would help far more if he were a defender.
Let's spare a thought for Miroslav Klose, though. Just think how many times he has imagined scoring his record-breaking 16th World Cup goal. Just try to visualise what Klose must have seen in his mind's eye. The moment of glorious triumph. The love of the supporters. The respect of his teammates. He likely pictured himself being carried aloft on the shoulders of the men he plays with as tens of thousands of people chanted his name, a name that would be etched in the history books for all eternity.
In reality, Klose's historic strike wasn't even the most memorable thing that happened in the game. In fact, with the scoreline and the floods of tears from Luiz, Klose's historic strike is barely in the top three most memorable things.
Poor Miroslav. Immortality has never been so anticlimatic.

My Big Fat Greek Wedding (US - BD RA)
Jonathan takes a look at the Blu-ray of that movie everyone's mom loves..
Toula is 30. And unmarried. Which means as a nice Greek girl - she's a failure. All her cousins did the right thing - married Greek boys and made Greek babies. So everyone worries: what will become of Toula? Then one day she sees the ultimate unattainable guy and realizes the only way her life will get better is if she gets away from her big, fat Greek family. Toula escapes from the family restaurant. She exchanges her seating hostess jacket for a college diploma, convinces her aunt to give her a new job, and trades in her coke-bottle glasses for contact lenses, just in time for "him" to walk back into her life. Ian Miller is tall, handsome, but definitely not Greek. Their courtship is an Olympian culture clash. Can Ian handle Toula, her parents, her aunts,uncles, cousins and several centuries of Greek heritage? Will Toula discover the love she's been missing right in the heart of her big, fat family? (From the HBO synopsis)
My Big Fat Greek Wedding is one of those romantic comedies that I don't exactly enjoy watching, but there are a lot of things I appreciate about it. Looking at it plainly, its easy to see familiar rom-com tropes like the overbearing family or the leading ladies "geek to chic" makeover. But on closer inspection one might realize that the movie also gracefully sidesteps a lot of the genres throws. For starters, the movie really doesn't have a central conflict. In fact, the title pretty much gives you the resolution. Sure there's the problem of the guy not being Greek, but this really only poses a problem in a couple of scenes, and the film moves on before the halfway mark. The central couple of the film get along without any problems. There's never a scuffle or a third act break-up. The lack of cynicism leaves plenty of room for charm. While this can also be viewed as a boring thing, I find it refreshing compared to most of these movies that awkwardly force a conflict into a story just to keep things moving. If nothing else, My Big Fat Greek Wedding feels free of such pointless genre traditions.
That said, I've never found the movie all that funny. The embarrassing family situations just don't tickle me, and a lot of the joke deliveries fall flat. Maybe it would be different if I grew up with a similar family dynamic. I do admire how restrained and family friendly the film is. Call me a prude, but its a nice change of pace from your typical, predictable sexed-up Hollywood comedies. The cast of mostly unknowns has plenty of charm. Michael Constantine is terrific as the family patriarch. His startling insensitivity made for a few of the only chuckles I got from the movie. Nia Vardalos, who wrote the film as a semi-autobiography, is great in her role. I'm sad to see that her work following the film has not been as well-received, though I haven't personally seen any of it. I also haven't seen the TV series, My Big Fat Greek Life, which followed, though I don't know any one who liked it nearly as much as the film. As an original independent film, it remains a pleasant viewing experience, and I think it is totally deserving of the surprise hit status it achieved. At the time that I'm writing this it still holds the box office record for the highest grossing romantic comedy of all time.
HBO Films brings this modest independent comedy to Blu-ray with a reasonably strong 1080p transfer. The feature takes up 28 GB of a BD-50 disc. It's always nice to see companies release catalog titles with a proper bit rate, while some major studios put out new releases crammed onto a BD-25. During the opening titles I noticed some telecine wobble, but this seems to be relegated to first couple of minutes. Afterwards I didn't notice any at all. Compression occasionally makes itself known in large monochromatic patches of colors. I also caught a glimpse of a couple damage marks. There is some noticeable pixelation and occasionally some very distracting shimmering surrounding bright whites. Each of these is infrequent enough to not be a major issue though. Overall the picture quality is very consistent. Colour looks very natural, with no particular shade standing out. Black levels could be better, but they are at least consistent. There's a nice light grain over the picture that never gets smeared out by any post-processing, and also never looks too harsh.
The DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 track is more than this film really needs. Shot on a very small budget, the movie doesn't have much of a dynamic sound mix to make good use of the 5.1 channels. The only thing that takes real advantage of the technology is the Greek string instruments that show up in the soundtrack a couple of times. The fast strums and piercing high notes bounce around the sound mix with plenty of livelihood. The surround channels also showcase some activity during the party scene, though its really just some background chatter and nothing substantial. For the majority of the runtime you are just hearing dialogue from the center channel with some occasional sounds coming from the stereo speakers. Voices are very clear and never take the backseat to other noise in a scene. There really isn't anything to complain about here
A Look Back at My Big Fat Greek Wedding (HD, 29:05) is a charming retrospective that Nia Vardalos kicks off. Covering similar ground to the commentary track, she talks about her real family experiences that inspired the film and goes into some detail about how the film got made. Ten minutes in, John Corbett joins the interview and talks about how he got involved with the movie. The last portion of the feature covers the modest release of the film, the press tour they went on, and their joyful surprise as the film grossed $368 million dollars and became a box office sensation.
There are five Deleted Scenes (HD, 05:01). While these are encoded in HD, the picture quality on them is actually quite poor. There isn't anything very substantial or particularly funny in these, so there's no surprise they didn't make it into the final cut. Lastly there is an Original 2002 Audio Commentary with Nia Vardalos, John Corbett, and director Joel Zwick. If you want a scene-by-scene accounting of what jokes and incidents in the film were from Vardalos's real life, this is the commentary track for you. It sounds like her and Corbett recorded theirs together, while Zwick's was done separately. There is hardly any interaction between commentators anyways. Corbett mostly talks about how much he likes certain scenes, or how embarrassing the baptism scene was for him. Zwick gives similar input. There's nothing technical on this track at all. It's all recounting Vardalos's life and memories from being on set. If you're a big fan of the cast members, you may find some charm in this track.
While My Big Fat Greek Wedding doesn't get a lot of laughs out of me, I have no contempt toward it. It was a very modest production that became a box office sensation, and I'd like to think it was because of how the film carefully steps over the annoying trappings of most romantic comedies. HBO Films bring the movie to Blu-ray for the first time with a mostly strong AV presentation. Extras are slim, but there is a nice retrospective that fans of the cast will find worth their time.

Inspiration: 12-Cubed House
Today is full of small space inspiration. This morning, we were drooling over Brett Butler's tipi at Appalachian State University. Now we're spending way too much time looking at pictures of Canadian designer James Stuart's 12-foot square house.
Stuart is building these tiny modular homes, and he's living in one. Stuart moved in two months ago because he felt he needed to prove that a person could actually live in a 12x12 foot space.
The Cubes have a bedroom, bathroom, and kitchen, and can be placed on an existing home lot. They're selling for an average price of CDN$24,500. And, although Stuart is living in his, the Cubed website advertises the homes as guest houses, studios, etc.

Oh my door nuts! A mosaic artist named Jason Mecier just created the perfect work of art: A portrait of Honey Boo Boo made out of junk. Could there BE a more fitting medium for all things Honey Boo Boo? Some may call her trashy, but we know a treasure when we see her.
Needless to say the Honey Boo Boo junk portrait is most beautimus, all "glitzy" and glammy. Just like Alana at a pageant! You'd better redneckognize -- Mecier spent 50 hours creating this thing. And you can watch it all in this video.
Mecier used about 25 pounds of trash and found objects to make this portrait -- and as you'll see in the video, it's huge. He was even thoughtful enough to include a bunch of Honey Boo Boo-related objects in the portrait:
Highlights include two cans of hair spray, three tiaras, make-up, mascara, fake eyelashes, coupons, sketti, butter, ten cheese balls, two Red Bulls, one Mountain Dew, a McDonald's chicken nugget, a pink Snuggy box, an empty toilet paper roll, one cabbage patch doll and a jar of Pigs Feet. No roadkill was injured during the making of this portrait!
The man knows his Thompson family, right? And I love that the soundtrack to the video is a series of classic Alana quotes in her own voice. Only thing missing here is a little pig running around the studio!
You know what? I started out a hater. It's true. But Honey Boo Boo and family just won me over with their good-naturedness, their frankness, and especially Mama June's delicious way with words. And somehow, this crazy portrait just makes me like them more. I mean, that's one of the things America does best -- we take what others might consider "junk" and we make magic out of it. Like this guy! Watch.
What do you think of the Honey Boo Boo Child portrait?

COLUMBIA - University of South Carolina maritime archaeologists are planning to teach students how to dive off the state's coast and uncover the secrets of an old shipwreck.
Spokeswoman Megan Sexton said Friday's event in Hilton Head Island featured archaeologist Ashley Deming, who is teaching a sport diver archaeology management course.
The course trains licensed scuba divers to become archaeological eyes and ears as they identify and record valuable information about the shipwreck.
Deming is using sections of a wooden vessel that was beached near Harbour Town Golf Links and has a 10-foot portion that is exposed above water. Sexton said the vessel may be from the Civil War era and has not yet been explored by archaeologists.

Oh, and FOX is calling this outrageous. Even though they did not complain when Bush pardoned turkeys.
I have learned that where Fox news and the Republicans associated with it are concerned: there is no bottom of the barrel.You would think this is a physical impossibility, but it seems to be true. The Fox news barrel if placed on level ground would have a bottom that not only continues all the way through the earth, but out past the lunar orbit and indeed beyond the outer boundary of the solar system. The current theory is that they're living an alternate bizarro universe where up is down, wrong is right and money is morality.

In my opinion these logos got arrows inside them or are at least arrow-shaped. Some may be called chevrons or something else, but still – these are arrowlike logos. This selection is made just for fun. I actually wanted to check how many famous logos include or resemble arrows I can find. "Kinko's" was one of the logos I added at the last moment. The truth is that the arrow symbols were well-hidden for me, despite my graphic design experience. :)
Another famous brand using an arrow element in the logo design is Burton.

Pelican's Perch #84: Don't Set Mixture with CHT
There seem to be a growing number of people who think that a cylinder head temperature (CHT) of 380 �F is a universally good target to use for setting the mixture.
Folks, it just ain't so.
It may work some of the time on some engines, but it's a long way from universal, and I'd like to tell you why.
At least one engine may have required a premature overhaul because of this issue, and there is at least one seminar speaker who advocates this as a "simpler technique." That approach to "simpler" ends up creating some serious problems in many common situations.
Installation Differences
Absolute numbers are tricky. By "absolute" I mean the raw data numbers you see on your engine monitor for CHT, exhaust gas temperature (EGT) and turbine inlet temperature (TIT). Under completely normal conditions, EGT and CHT can be very different from cylinder to cylinder on the same engine, and from engine to engine, even of the same make and model, and even when all probes are installed exactly the same. TIT can also vary a lot from engine to engine. Even if you know what is "normal" for your own engine, in-flight conditions can vary so widely that using a fixed CHT number like 380 �F can be hazardous to the health of your engine.
Small differences in EGT/TIT probe placement, both along the exhaust pipe and radially, can make a significant difference in absolute numbers. Even if probe placement is "perfect," exhaust flow can come out of the cylinders differently, and can be affected by pressure pulses from other exhaust streams in the same manifold.
CHT sensors can be the older, spark-plug-gasket type, or the newer "bayonet" probes screwed into the cylinder head. Both types may exist in the same engine, and the spark-plug-gasket types usually run as much as 50 �F hotter, because that part of the cylinder is hotter. CHT probes can be influenced to some degree by local cooling airflows, by nearby baffling or lack thereof, and by radiant heat from nearby hot components.
General Aviation Modifications (GAMI) has placed test probes all around the circumference of a cylinder head and found variations of as much as 150 �F, probably from the difference in airflow and cooling air temperature on the "front" side, compared to the "back" side.
GAMI and Tornado Alley Turbo (TAT) have a lot of data from the test stand on the IO-360, IO-470, IO-550, and IO-550TN ("TurboNormalized"), and several big Lycomings, including the "bad boys" ... the Lycoming TIO-540AE2A (Piper Mirage) and TIO-540J2BD (Piper Navajo) engines. These engines are generally in perfect running order, very well baffled, and exquisitely controlled. They still show significant differences cylinder-to-cylinder on the same engine. However, if engines are carefully installed in identical engine installations in identical airframes with identical instrumentation, they do routinely exhibit rather uniform patterns of CHTs and EGTs when comparing one engine to another under those types of controlled conditions.
I may have contributed to this confusion myself with my comments about the "insane" factory CHT limits (460 �F for TCM, 475 �F or 500 �F for Lycomings), and further commenting that 420 �F is a "better" redline, and then adding to that concept by asserting that 400 �F is a good setting for the "warning" on the engine monitor, and 380 �F as a "good target." If that last one (380 �F) was taken to be a universal "proper setting" under all conditions, I'm sorry. I didn't mean it that way.
Let me try to clear this up.
The very high factory limits are not really "insane" if they are well understood. They are absolute limits to which the engines are tested for limited periods of time during certification. They're based on sound engineering, but they were never intended for continuous field operation. Our data suggests that if CHTs rise to the factory limits, and are promptly controlled and brought back down, there will probably be no significant engine damage. (Probably a good idea to install new spark plugs, though.) If the engine exceeds those limits, damage is likely. How much damage? That will be related to how bad the over-temperature is and how long it lasts. We have seen engines that went to 510 or 515 �F with no serious effect, but other engines that went to 525 or 530 �F and sustained significant damage in a short period of time.
A lot of the problems with these over-temp conditions are related to damage to spark plugs, which can quickly lead to bad stuff like pre-ignition. Bottom line: It all gets worse with increased temperature and the time spent at high temperatures. You may even get away with operating near those factory limits if you've lost one engine on a twin and must abuse the other one for a few minutes just to survive. But it's pretty clear that operation beyond those limits may very soon lead to a lot less power out of the running engine! Very high CHTs (but under red line) at very high power settings with appropriately full rich mixtures should not lead to detonation in a "conforming" engine (all parameters within spec), but it is really hard on the engines if those conditions last for extended periods.
These certification limits are derived from conforming factory engines, on a factory test stand, with everything pretty well controlled and monitored. When that same engine is installed in an airplane, the results may not be as satisfying. One area that concerns us is that many cylinder installations create large temperature differentials around the circumference of the cylinder. This can lead to the cylinder going out-of-round, and this will cause "scuffing" as the still-round piston is sliding up and down in a slightly out-of-round cylinder. That, in turn, can lead to a rapid build-up of CHT (we call it a "thermal runaway"), making the situation worse, leading to detonation and/or preignition. (Calling it a "snowball effect" seem inappropriate somehow, but "heatball" doesn't make sense, either.) Once this thermal runaway begins, it will not stop unless the pilot takes aggressive action (full rich, boost pump on, power back, as needed).
While we have seen the out-of-round condition start a thermal runaway as low as 410 to 415 �F, that is rather unusual. As a "best judgment," we like to consider 420 �F as a normal upper limit on CHTs. In short, 420 �F becomes our "do something, right now" redline. There are a number of other factors and considerations that go into that judgment call, but they are beyond the scope of this column.
Oops, we just used 420 �F, an absolute number! Is it valid for all engines? Maybe not, but in the absence of specific information to the contrary about a specific installation, it is -- in our judgment -- a good solid and appropriate number to use as an upper boundary.
To put it yet another way, it is not the 420 �F that hurts. If you see 400 to 420 �F during the last few thousand feet of climb, it's not going to hurt a thing � as long as it doesn't start rising in the classic runaway.
The considerations that go into this 420 �F number really don't depend in any way on ambient conditions; it's the metallurgy, in this instance.
If we want to keep the CHT below 420 �F, then we should probably set our engine monitors to alarm somewhere down around 400 �F. This gives us plenty of time to spot the (often too subtle) warning, to think about it, and take action.
Becoming Inured To Warnings
The next consideration is that we never want alarms to be so frequent that we might become accustomed to them, and not pay attention one day when it's important. A lot of engines will approach 400 �F in the climb, or with mishandling (low airspeed, for example). So here's where we say, "If your monitor is set to alarm at 400 �F, then use 380 �F as your target maximum." Don't let constant alarms inure you to them!
Here's one of my favorite examples. It's not an issue of setting mixture by CHT, but is beautifully illustrative of a number of points:
This pilot was getting oil temperatures of 230 �F on nearly every climb, and had become accustomed to just suppressing the alarm without worrying about it much.
On this flight, he got the usual alarm at 17:54 and suppressed it. "Oh, just that pesky oil temperature, again." Fair enough, most of us would do the same, although he might have found out why the oil temperature was going so high, all the time, and fixed it. Or set the alarm for 240 �F to avoid the nuisance alarms. All Monday-morning quarterbacking, of course; I'd have probably fallen into the same trap.
On this particular monitor, that suppressing the alarm disarms all alarms for five full minutes. Of course nothing else could go wrong during those five minutes, right? Guess again, and think of Murphy's Laws.
At 17:56:30 (two and a half minutes into the "no alarms" period), the #3 CHT started rising rapidly, probably preignition from a damaged spark plug. At 17:57:54, the CHT hit 420 �F, its alarm point. But the alarms were still suppressed. Internally, the monitor was yelling, "CHT! CHT! CHT!" but no one could see it.
Meanwhile, the oil temperature peaked at 236 �F and started back down slowly. Exactly five minutes after canceling the alarm, the time expired, the alarm reset itself, finding both an out-of-bounds oil temperature, and an out-of-bounds CHT. I don't know which one was displayed on the monitor.
Again, the pilot suppressed the alarm, still thinking a slightly elevated oil temperature was his only problem. He'd become accustomed to the oil temperature issue, and was accustomed to hitting the suppress button a couple of times, until it came down again.
The CHT continued its rise to 554 �F with no alarm. Five minutes after the second reset, the engine monitor woke up, discovered the high CHT, and the alarm activated. This time it showed the CHT, and the pilot almost instantly pulled the MP back to 23" (from 30.9), killing the preignition event. Well done, but too late to save the engine.
To repeat: Use 380 �F to avoid nuisance warnings at 400 �F and set your warning to 400 �F so you have time, precious time, to take action before reaching 420 �F, so that you don't get end up where you really don't want to be on CHTs.
Now here's the disconnect. This is not a blanket suggestion that it's OK to run all these engines at 380 �F CHT all the time. These issues up to this point have largely been related to material properties of the cylinders (metallurgy).
Cooler Heads
There are some engines out there that apparently run very cool, and it's not clear if that's because they are truly cool, or because of some artifacts in the CHT measurement process. Many of these engines are capable of producing very high power, and thereby very high internal cylinder pressures (ICP) at very low CHTs -- especially during cold ambient conditions!
It just so happens that there are some engines that can use 380 �F as a "cruise CHT" and maintain ICPs within reasonable limits. However, even these engines shouldn't be operated at 380 �F in seriously cold air.
"Waitaminnit," you say. "Cooler is better, so how can this be true?"
Think it through. You take off from Florida with 70 �F weather, and you set up the mixture on a "large-displacement" engine at high MP and 380 �F on the hottest cylinder, with about 17.5 GPH fuel flow. For some engines (mine is one) this is an "aggressively good" high power setting and nicely lean-of-peak (LOP) EGT with reasonable internal cylinder pressures. We call it the "Go Fast Mode" at about 260 HP, which is about 84 to 87% of rated power on a 300- to 310-HP engine. (When an engine with a compression ratio of about 8.5 is flown LOP, fuel flow times about 14.9 equals HP. Warning: This calculation is good only when lean of peak!)
Now, you launch from Minneapolis, where it's -10 �F. You do the big mixture pull to your usual 17.5 GPH, and you notice, "Wow, the CHT is only 305 �F!" The colder air flowing over your engine is giving you more cooling, but the HP is still the same. For those who may have been taught "The Target 380 Method," the temptation is to increase fuel flow to bring the CHT up closer to the 380 �F target. You might end up with 21 or 22 GPH, nearly 330 HP, out of your 300 HP engine. You just became a test engineer. That is not a good idea. But it sure illustrates this is not a trivial issue.
Here's a graph of this condition:
The vertical yellow line at about 08:08 is the EGView sliding marker that points to the data shown at the right side of the chart. The power is very high (about 94%), cylinder pressures are probably 800 to 900 PSI, and the airplane is bumping up into the yellow airspeed arc.
Why are the CHTs so very low? Well, first, we're a very low altitude, where the air is dense, and maximum cooling is available. Second, the airplane is haulin' ... er ... going very fast, also good for cooling. Finally, that cooling air is very cold.
I'm not so sure this is a good thing to do to our engines. We've become very comfortable with 85% when 80 to 100 �F LOP. We've run our own engines there a lot, hundreds or thousands of other pilots are running their engines there, many have gone to and beyond TBO, and we've got pressure data from the test stand that shows ICPs well within our "comfort range." We are not so sanguine about higher power settings. If you choose to do this, please report back in a few years!
The real point here is that any attempt to bring the CHT up to some mythical "target" will result in HP beyond 100%, and ICPs over 1,000! We know that's harmful; we've seen the test stand engines pop spark plugs right out at only slightly higher pressures!
So what good are all these EGTs and CHTs, then? Just why did you get an engine monitor? Glad you asked. While some engines under some conditions may peak at 1400 �F EGT, and others at 1750 �F, and CHTs may peak at 280 to 450 �F (just grabbing numbers here), there is one number that will serve you well: the difference from peak EGT. No matter what inaccuracies there may be in the absolute value of the measurement, no matter what the conditions are, if you know peak EGT today, under these conditions "right now," then some incremental number of degrees from that peak EGT value will be a repeatable and reliably useful parameter for a large number of different engines under all conditions for routine operations.
What are these numbers? They're not quite as simple as a flat, fixed, "universal" number like 380 �F CHT, but they're quite usable. At and below 60% of rated power, no mixture setting will harm your engine, and 10 to 20 �F LOP EGT is very close to the most efficient setting (best brake specific fuel consumption -- BSFC). The more power you set, the further from peak EGT you need to be. At 85% power, best BSFC is found across a broad range of LOP mixtures (think "flat curve," and see the charts in my last column with the big, red boxes), but keeping the EGT at 80 or 90 �F LOP works really well to both keep the engine cool and to mitigate the peak internal cylinder pressures.
So, use 20 �F LOP at low power (60%) and 90 �F LOP at high power (85%).
Use a straight-line variation to connect those two points for all your LOP settings. If that mixture setting drives the CHT up near 380 �F, then lean a bit more. It usually doesn't take much. Leaning by an additional 0.5 GPH will normally drop the CHT's by 10 to 15 degrees after five minutes or so.
Here's a different view of those dangerous mixture settings that illustrates this:
The lower (light green) line is where we'd suggest you should operate when LOP with the normally-aspirated engines (no turbo). The darker green line represents a more aggressive mixture setting that might be used when needed. Remember, all these lines and numbers are a bit "fuzzy!" We can argue all day over the precise placement of the lines, and the red triangle, and where the breakpoints are, but in the end, this is just an illustration of the general idea.
With a turbo-normalized engine, the engine thinks it's at sea level all the way to its critical altitude, so most of the chart goes away, like this:
The turbonormalized engine is so much easier to manage! Either run it full rich, or 90 �F LOP (or a bit leaner if CHTs go above 380 �F).
The TSIO (and TIO) engines can attain much higher manifold pressures for takeoff and climb, but if the manifold pressure is limited to about 32" in cruise, the rules for the turbonormalized engines work pretty well.
How Much Power Is This, Anyway?
One common mistake is that people will check the POH and find the MP and RPM for a given percent of power, and then they'll lean from there to some LOP setting. That doesn't give you that same percent of power, it will be somewhat less. The chart in your POH is almost always drawn at "Best Power" (usually specified in very tiny print). As mentioned before, for any given MP and RPM (LOP only!), you can calculate horsepower by multiplying fuel flow in gallons times 14.9 for most normally-aspirated and turbonormalized engines, and 13.7 for most of the TSIO and TIO engines. There is some engine-specific variability on some of those engines, but you won't go seriously wrong with these numbers.
Remember, no one can specify any power setting with MP and RPM alone. All three parameters must be known and mixture is arguably the most important.
(For real engine-heads, the big variable is the compression ratio [CR]. 14.9 is based on the usual TCM normally-aspirated [and turbonormalized] engines at CR of 8.5 and 13.7 is the number for many of the TCM TSIO and the Lycoming TIO engines, with superchargers and CRs of about 7.5.)
On the other hand, if you are operating at high power and rich of peak (ROP, as in climb), you want the mixture set so that the EGT is 250 �F ROP (normally aspirated, sea level) or even as much as 350 �F ROP (for turbocharged engines). This will give you a bit more fuel flow than the charts and manuals call for, and that's good.
Once you've gone through the above drill a few times in a specific airplane, you will have a pretty good idea of the fuel flow that works. This is another number upon which you can hang your hat. On my engine -- a TCM IO-550 with Millennium cylinders and the Tornado Alley Turbonormalizer -- 17.5 GPH is my magic number. That's very close to 260 HP, a good, aggressive, "go fast mode" power setting. I've got about 600 hours on that engine now, all of it at that power setting. Compressions are fine, borescope looks great, and the engine is running smoothly and well. There have been no issues, no cylinder work.
What percent power is that, anyway? Ah, now we get another "slippery number." Nominal HP on this engine is 300, so that would be about 87%. But we know the Millennium cylinders move air just a bit better than the factory cylinders, so full power is probably 310, or 315, so that number could be 84%, or 83%, depending on which "max. HP" you use in the calculation.
In summary, 380 �F is a useful number to keep in mind for metallurgical purposes. It may not be a good number upon which to fixate for a cruise mixture setting for the long term.
Be careful up there!

Friday morning was just about the same as most mornings for Todd Johns and his Plowboys restaurant in Blue Springs.
A few minutes before the doors opened at 11 a.m., the parking lot was getting full and the line of customers snaked its way throughout the hottest barbecue joint in Eastern Jackson County, at 3111 S. Missouri 7.
But this was a different morning as Johns and his partner, Todd Johnson, Plowboys chief financial officer, were celebrating their grand opening.
"This is a pretty big day," said Johns, a former American Royal Barbecue Grand Champion who spends between 15 and 18 hours per day at Plowboys. "If I can get through it without crying I will consider it a success.
"I'm not going to be able to look at my wife Audrey this morning, or I know I'll lose it."
Johns and Johnson put a business plan in effect several months ago, and Plowboys has exceeded their wildest expectations. The line of barbecue customers forms at 11 a.m. and remains until closing at 8 p.m. Tuesday through Sunday.
"It's dropped off a bit, but that was to be expected," Johns said, "but we're still running double what we anticipated. Double? We just can't believe it. We are so thankful."
And so are Plowboy fans, who range from neighborhood residents, the Fort Osage High School football coaching staff, who make a pre-game stop each Friday afternoon, to Central Hockey League MVP and scoring champion Sebastien Thinel, who makes the weekly drive from Independence.
"This is just amazing," said State Rep. Sheila Solon, who was part of the ribbon cutting ceremony and who lives within walking distance of the restaurant. "This was a blighted area before Todd and Todd came in and brought us Plowboys, now, it's the talk of our community.
"Todd lives in our neighborhood. He wanted to do something special for South Blue Springs. It just shows that if you offer a community real quality it will be a success. Every time I drive by Plowboys the parking lot is full."
Plowboys received national notice even before it opened. Because of Johns' reputation among professional barbecuers, he received a call from the "Barbecue Diva," Danielle Dimovski, who hosts the Travel Channel's BBQ Crawl television program.
"Todd knows everyone, that son of a gun," Johnson said, "and when we got the call from Danielle we couldn't believe it. They feature one restaurant (per state) and last year it was Oklahoma Joe's. This year, it's Plowboys. And when she called, we hadn't even opened our doors."
Thinel and his Missouri Maverick teammates will be at Plowboys when they tape the episode on Oct. 3.
"Todd is a season ticket holder and great fan and he has always shown us support," Thinel said, "so we want to support him anyway we can. Besides, when we come here, we get to eat the best barbecue in the country."
Johns left a successful technology career to open his own restaurant, and while the hours have been demanding and the stress has caused more than a few tears, he knows he made the right decision.
"All the manufacturers want to be a part of Plowboys," Johns said, referring to the businesses who supply buns, ham and french fries, "because they know Todd and I have a business plan. A lot of businesses don't. I think that's why we're been so successful."
Johnson disagrees, a bit.
"It's Todd, our workers and our great barbecue and side dishes," said Johnson, grinning like the cat that swallowed the canary. "We had someone ask why we run out of certain foods. And I told them, we don't run out, we sell out - and there is a difference."
Solon and many members of the Blue Springs Chamber of Commerce and City Council took part in the ribbon cutting ceremony that also featured members of the Johns and Johnson families.

On Order
Directed by former Starsky and Hutch TV star Paul Michael Glaser, this post-apocalyptic science fiction yarn satirized American entertainment, mocking pro wrestling, game shows, and law-and-order reality programming. Arnold Schwarzenegger stars as Ben Richards, a cop in the totalitarian America of 2019, framed for massacring rioting civilians during a famine. After escaping from jail, Richards tries to prove his innocence, but his efforts are thwarted at every turn by a regime in need of a scapegoat. Richards is captured along with an innocent civilian, Amber Mendez (Maria Conchita Alonso), and they are forced to participate in a violent game show called "The Running Man," hosted by the unctuous Damon Killian (Richard Dawson). The object of the game for Richards and Mendez: obtain freedom by staying alive against a gauntlet of skillful assassins like "Subzero" (Prof. Toru Tanaka) and "Captain Freedom" (Jesse Ventura), each armed with unique weapons like razor-sharp hockey sticks and chainsaws. With the help of some fellow "contestants," Richards is able to tap into government computers and prove his innocence. The Running Man was very loosely based on a short story by Stephen King, who wrote it under the name Richard Bachman. ~ Karl Williams, Rovi

The Top 10 List of Non-Giants Who Should Be on Every Giants Fan's Christmas Card List: No. 9, Paul Emmel
Paul Emmel was the second-base umpire for Game 1 of the National League Division Series against the Braves.
Emmel was the umpire who called Buster Posey safe on a steal attempt at second base on a busted hit-and-run play in the fourth inning.
Posey eventually scored the game's only run on a two-out single by Cody Ross.
The Giants went on to win the series 3 games to 1. All four games were one-run game, so the value of one play that led to one run cannot be understated.
Replays showed that Posey was out. Even Posey admitted as much in post-game interviews.
Now, a lot has been made about blown calls by umpires, especially in the postseason. But for the most part in the 2010 postseason, blown calls were not a big deal. This call may have been the biggest.
But it's really hard to fault Emmel on this play. The throw from Brian McCann was high and to the right field side of the bag. Second baseman Brooks Conrad had to reach across his body to catch the ball. Normally, with an actual base stealer, that's an easy steal. But because Posey is not the most fleet of foot and was only running on a hit-and-run play that the play was close.
Also, because of the high throw, Conrad's tag came on the outfield side of Posey's body, and Emmel was positioned on the infield, blocking his line of sight.
And no one from the Braves argued the call. Bobby Cox didn't come out and get run out by Emmel (Emmel got that pleasure in Game 2).
But the bottom line is that Emmel made his call. It was the wrong call. And it helped the Giants. So thanks, Paul Emmel.

- No. 9, Paul Emmel

"Her style is not always successful," trainer Gary Contessa commented. "She's far back early and then she comes running. She's always going to need to get the trip. We went into the Miss Grillo thinking that it would absolutely take her right to the Breeders' Cup. She ran a good race, but had terrible traffic problems—never could get out; never could get on track. It just didn't happen. We were questionable on getting enough points for the Breeders' Cup and we didn't go."
Duff One faced off with Ready to Act again in the aforementioned allowance on December 19 and was dismissed at 9-1 to her rival's 1-2 status. Unhurried early as usual, the blaze-faced bay took the overland route on her way to a two-length victory over Ready to Act.
"We got her fresh and she responded with a nice win," Contessa added. "She really looked the part winning that race and she deserves this shot. She's never really run a bad race. She's got a lot of things going for her. More than likely, she's just going to need a trip, a little bit of help with the traffic. Training wise, she's been doing great."
Joel Rosario, who was in the irons that afternoon, will be back in Duff One's saddle when they break from the four hole in the Sweetest Chant.
After her first-out success at Saratoga, Ready to Act held a clear lead in the stretch of the Natalma Stakes (G3) at Woodbine, but veered in sharply and lost rider Rajiv Maragh. She followed that with a sixth in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies (G1) at Santa Anita on November 1, and came up short as the heavy chalk in her latest. Chad Brown trains the gray daughter of More Than Ready for Klaravich Stables and William H. Lawrence. She drew the rail for the Sweetest Chant and will be piloted by meet-leading rider Javier Castellano.
The lightly raced Hardly weaved her way through to finish third, just a neck behind Ready to Act, on December 19. Fourth in her career opener at Belmont on October 11, the Hard Spun filly earned her diploma at Aqueduct on November 17 before making her way to Florida.
"She got in all kinds of traffic and I think that kept her from finishing closer," trainer Mark Hennig remarked.
Owned by Lee Lewis, Hardly is out of a half-sister to champion sprinter Kodiak Kowboy.
"She's just a straightforward filly with lots of class," Hennig said. "There's nothing flashy about her, but she likes the job. I'm optimistic about Sunday."
Hardly drew post three and will be ridden by Alan Garcia.
Also in the Sweetest Chant field are Lemon Point and Room Service, the one-two finishers in a Gulfstream allowance on December 13. Bill Mott trains Lemon Point for Peter Vegso, while Wayne Catalano handles Room Service on behalf of Gary and Mary West. Party Now drew off by 4 ¾ lengths in her first turf try on January 2 for trainer Shug McGaughey and owners Stuart Janney III and Phipps Stable.
The Sweetest Chant is rounded out by Jerry Love and Super Fantasy. All of the 3-year-old fillies will carry 116 pounds.

The technologies of tomorrow are tough to predict, but one thing is certain: innovation forms the foundation of a healthy economy. In an uncertain economic climate, the greatest opportunities for local, national, and global growth rest with the time-tested impact of large-scale research and development. Brookhaven National Laboratory's discoveries at the most exciting frontiers of science — from the fabric of the cosmos to zero-emission vehicles — generate the kinds of unprecedented, game-changing advances that help shape the future.
Owned and primarily funded by the U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Science, Brookhaven Lab is one of New York State's largest scientific research centers. Located on a 5,300-acre site in central Long Island, the Lab employs more than 3,000 full-time workers and is host to just as many visiting researchers each year from universities, industry, and government agencies that use its cutting-edge facilities.
The world's foremost scientists join with the local workforce in the enterprise of exploration, including massive construction projects and ever-expanding support services. But beyond the hundreds of millions in federal funding coming to Long Island and the thousands of jobs created, Brookhaven Lab anchors New York as a leading center for innovation.
Breakthrough science also helps foster a sense of wonder and ambition in the Long Island community, bolstered by strong educational outreach and a robust partnership with Stony Brook University.
The scientific strides taken every day at Brookhaven Lab spark ripples across the entire economic landscape, from inspiring local entrepreneurs to powering global industries.

Brookhaven National Laboratory is managed by Brookhaven Science Associates – a limited liability company founded by the Research Foundation for the State University of New York on behalf of Stony Brook University, the largest academic user of Lab facilities, and Battelle, a nonprofit, applied science and technology organization – under a contract with DOE.
Brookhaven Lab's funding in fiscal year (FY) 2012 totaled $696 million.
As of 2012, Brookhaven Lab employed 3,100 people – more than 98 percent of whom live on Long Island.
Between September 2009 and September 2012, employment at Brookhaven Lab grew by 7 percent.
In FY 2012, Brookhaven Lab spent $42.3 million on purchases of goods and services from New York State companies, including $31.7 million in purchasing from Long Island companies. This spending directly supported about 245 full-time-equivalent (FTE) jobs throughout New York State – including about 187 FTE jobs with vendors and contractors on Long Island.
In FY 2012, Brookhaven Lab invested $47.4 million in construction of new facilities and renovation of existing ones. Of this total, $45.8 million was paid to New York State contractors, including $30.6 million paid to contractors based on Long Island. We estimate that this spending directly supported 258 FTE jobs in construction and related industries throughout New York State, including 174 FTE jobs with Long Island contractors.
Appleseed estimates that, in total, the direct, indirect, and induced impact of spending by Brookhaven Lab and by its visitors in FY 2012 generated approximately $678 million in economic output and 5,480 FTE jobs throughout New York State.

OpenBinder is a new approach to operating system design, in the same vein as a lot of other attempts at introducing a modern object oriented approach to operating system design. Usually, however, when this is done it is at the kernel level: creating an "object oriented kernel," which is significantly different than our current modern kernels. The Binder, in contrast, provides a rich object-oriented operating system environment that is designed to be hosted by today's traditional kernels.
An illustration of this can be see here where we show how you work with processes in the Binder, treating them as just another kind of Binder object. There are similar OO representations of shared memory, byte streams, files, etc. These all sit on top of traditional operating system services, for example when you do "new_process" the underlying OS calls (fork() and exec()) are used to create the process; however, the way the Binder presents these things to you provides a radically different, and hopefully richer, programming model. As an example, OpenBinder includes a traditional command line shell (called Binder Shell), that illustrates how using the Binder to implement such a core system service provides a much more powerful environment. At a high level, the Binder Shell can be compared to Microsoft's new shell.
The Binder is technology that was started at Be, as the foundation of a new set of graphics, user interface, and multimedia frameworks, for a next-generation operating system. When Palm acquired Be, all of this technology was ported to Palm's microkernel and used to create Cobalt. With the switch to Linux, it was then all ported to Linux, and OpenBinder is the result of work we did to get some of that technology open-sourced so that is available to others. (Unfortunately at this point the graphics, user interface, and multimedia frameworks, which were used to drive the development and design of the Binder, are not being open-sourced.)
Over the approx. 5 years of its life, the Binder has run on BeOS, Windows, the Cobalt kernel, and now Linux. The current OpenBinder distribution only runs under Linux, however it would not be hard to get it working again on the other kernels, and we have enough experience with it to be pretty confident that porting to other platforms should not be too hard. Also, for most of its life, the hardware target for the Binder (and everything built on top of it) was a 200 MHz ARM CPU, so it is relatively lightweight and already includes extensive optimization of the key code paths in the system.
1. Could you give us a real application example of Binder so our readers understand it better?
OpenBinder itself is not interesting to end users, but rather is a set of tools that other developers can use to implement rich operating system services and applications. An application-level example requires some higher-level piece of software implemented on top of it. There have been a number of such things implemented with the Binder, including a distributed display server and user-interface framework, componentized application model (like a document component model such as OpenDoc, but for putting together applications instead of documents), and a rich node-based multimedia framework. Unfortunately, these are not a part of OpenBinder at this point.
One example that is included with OpenBinder is called the Binder Shell. This implements a POSIX compatible shell (like bash and the Korn shell on Unix). It sits on top of the Binder framework, however, giving a much richer environment than you would get from a shell designed for traditional operating system services.
This page has a lot of detail on the shell, but here are some quick examples of the kinds of things it can do:
The shell sits on top of the Binder runtime, so all of its variables and data are dynamically typed via the Binder and it has access to the full OpenBinder component model. Because of this, the shell can easily instantiate any OpenBinder component and interact with it. As an example, here are some commands that instantiate an example component included with OpenBinder and call a method on it:
/$ s=$[new org.openbinder.samples.Service] Result: sptrIn fact, the Binder Shell is just another VM for OpenBinder that lets you write Binder code in its particular language. When you write a script in the shell you are actually creating a Binder object, allowing you to do interesting things like write a function in the shell that gets invoked by another object in the system. For example, you can use standard POSIX shell syntax to write this function:
(0x80a0194 13SampleService) /$ invoke $s Test Result: int32_t(12 or 0xc)
/$ function handleEntryCreated() { echo "Created: parent=" $1 echo "Created: name=" $2 echo "Created: entry=" $3 }And then use the OpenBinder facilities to link yourself to the "/settings" directory (the link command takes advantage of a standard facility for connecting the output of one object to the input of another):
/$ n=$[inspect /settings org.openbinder.support.INode] Result: sptrAnd now if someone changes the contents of that directory:
(0x8091dc4 8BCatalog) /$ link $n $SELF @{EntryCreated->handleEntryCreated}
/$ echo >/settings/test "This is a test"Your shell function will be invoked, resulting in the output:
Created: parent= SValue(sptrFor a full-fledged example of writing a Binder component in shell, have a look here for the same test component we saw above but implemented entirely with BinderShell. (The component we used previously was implemented in C++ and can be found here).
(0xb69063f4 8BCatalog)) Created: name= test Created: entry= SValue(sptr (0x8081254 N18SDatumGeneratorInt12IndexedDatumE))
Some examples of coding in C++ with OpenBinder can be seen here and OpenBinder includes a variety of high-level tools that make development much easier. For example, there is a built-in thread pool and a class called SHandler for accessing it that makes it very easy to do a number of common threading tasks (see here), a light-weight locking class with a sophisticated tool for detecting uses of it that can lead to deadlocks, reference counted objects with their own debugging tools for detecting and correcting leaked references (see here, and the obligatory string class, container classes, and other tools.
Of course, working with multiple processes is where you get the most out of OpenBinder, because like other distributed systems it takes care of all of the details of communicating between processes for you. For example, consider the first shell example we showed above of instantiating a sample component and then calling it. Here is C++ code that does the same thing, but runs the component in its own process:
sptrWith these few line of code, you have started a new process, found some code (that can be implemented in any language) by name and loaded it into the process, and performed an IPC from your process to execute that code and get a result back.
process = Context().NewProcess( SString("my empty process")); sptr obj = Context().RemoteNew( SValue::String("org.openbinder.samples.Service"), process); sptr srv = interface_cast (obj); int32_t res = srv->Test();
In addition, the object and its code will remain loaded for you only as long as you hold references on the object, and the process itself will be kept around only as long as it is needed, going away once all reference on it and its objects have been removed. In other words, if you were to put that code as-is into a function, it would not only do all of the starting and loading and calling, but correctly clean up everything for you as well when the function returns.

Always is one of the most trusted brands of women's feminine hygiene products. Boasting more coverage from the front-to-back, super absorbency, flexibility, and softness, Always products are designed to fit the different feminine protections needs of women.
Always pantiliners are a discrete shield that locks away light discharge and range in size from thin, to long, and thong compatible. Maxis begin with regular pads on up to long super, overnight, and extra heavy overnight. Always ultra thin maxis have an absorbent core that quickly absorbs fluids, flexi wings to protect panties and stop leaks, and a dri-weave covering to keep you clean and dry. Ultra thins come in slender, regular, long, overnight, and maximum protection lengths. Always infinity is the newest revolutionary maxi panty providing superior comfort and protections. We highly recommend any of the pads with the brilliantly designed flexi wings that help keep women clean and dry.
Grocery and discount chains offer generic feminine hygiene products, but this is one area of the budget where the name brand product, Always, is worth any extra cost. To offset the costs associated with purchasing quality feminine hygiene products, having quick access to Always coupons can really help the pocket book.
But how are you going to locate Always coupons? Of course you can search your mail for coupons sent in magazines and free newspapers. There are also advertising mailers that come from local supermarkets. But supermarkets are not the only place to get Always coupons, and they are not the only place to send out advertising mailers. Drugstores are another very effective option for finding Always coupons at a reduced cost.
May we suggest that one of your best options for getting a lower price on Always products is to find printable Always coupons. You can have them delivered to your e-mail inbox if you sign up for a newsletter of some sort. Internet coupons and online promotional are almost better than print publications because they are more accessible and, often for larger chains, represent and equivalent manner of advertising. When you put in the effort to find Always coupons online, you will find a pretty good deal compared to what you would get if you just walked into a store.
A great way to find printable Always coupons is to come to a website like ours. Grocery Tips 101 offers current, free manufacturers coupons through our coupon database. We can also keep you posted about your coupon options so that you can narrow down your search. Between e-mail newsletter sign ups and other services, we maintain as current of information as we can about the financial picture between you and the feminine hygiene products you like to purchase.

I feel like I'm stuck in a Barenaked Ladies song.
Today, Best Buy (NYSE:BBY) founder Richard Schulze and a cadre of private equity firms are reviewing the retailer's financial records — with expectations that Schulze plans to make a new bid to take BBY private.
You can call it a game of tug-of-war or cat-and-mouse. Off the record, I've called it some cruder things I won't repeat here. Whatever you want to call it, the Best Buy buyout saga just won't die … and despite today's seemingly positive news, any investors still hanging around in BBY should take today's quick pop as an opportunity to finally get clear.
This time, the bid price being whispered about by "sources" is $11 billion — about 80% more than BBY's current worth as measured by market cap. Thus, I won't linger on why board acceptance should be a no-brainer if a deal comes to pass. Instead, I'll just point out two things:
1.) Look at this two-year chart of the S&P 500 (black), RadioShack (NYSE:RSH, blue) and Best Buy (yellow). Notice a trend?
2.) Chalk up that performance to this: Best Buy essentially is a larger (though thankfully cleaner) RadioShack. They're both bricks-and-mortar businesses specializing in electronics, which happens to be just the right positioning for a spanking across Amazon's (NASDAQ:AMZN) knee. Not to mention that big-boxes like Wal-Mart (NYSE:WMT) and Target (NYSE:TGT) also have wrested away some of the consumer electronics action.
The writing is on the wall, and Wall Street has been reading it. BBY's board can't possibly think it has a doubler on its hands under any other scenario. If a check shows up, they should take it and run.
If you're an individual investor who's somehow still in BBY, though, the decision is a bit more involved.
In the best-case scenario that Schulze and his private equity army check out the books, everything gets green-lighted and an $11 billion bid is made, that would be an offer of roughly $33 per share. That means investors who got in (then stayed in) as long ago as early 2011 would be breaking even, and — please sit down for this — anyone who got in after that would somehow be profiting on a BBY buy-in.
But before you get too randy, let me show you one more chart:
What you're looking at is BBY shares from Aug. 3 through today. The spike on Aug. 6 occurred when Schulze first reported his interest in buying the company, and BBY peaked at 15% gains by Aug. 17. Everything after that reflected the waning possibility a deal would actually go through. Including today's 4% run, Best Buy stock has given up all its gains since Schulze's plans came to light.
This is the catch.
If you've got plenty of irons in the fire, plenty of money in the bank and your investment in BBY is wholly speculative, stick around — you might just be able to finance that weekend in Ibiza. Otherwise, consider this:
There's no guarantee this deal will go through, either, and today's pop isn't nearly what we saw the first time around. Meaning if Schulze & Co. balk for the second time in nine innings, Best Buy stock could be breaking out the shovel. And that's a legitimate concern. Consider this from Reuters:
"For a group eventually to come together, the private equity firms and Schulze will need to come up with a credible strategy to stop the bleeding at Best Buy and turn around its fortunes.
Some people close to the private equity firms said they remained skeptical of the prospects of a successful deal even as they continued to [delve] into Best Buy's confidential financial information, which they find of particular interest given their other retail investments.
Sales at Best Buy stores open at least 14 months fell 3.2 percent in the company's fiscal second quarter ended August 4, the eighth decline in the last nine quarters.
Same-store sales were down 1.6 percent in the United States and 8.2 percent internationally. Best Buy owns Five Star, which has 204 stores in China."
If the deal does fall through, you could argue that you're still holding onto a stock that's yielding nearly 4%.
I'd tell you to stop arguing. Then I'd tell you to put whatever money you have invested in BBY into, say, a utility stock instead — it'll be writing you fat dividend checks far longer than Best Buy will, deal or not.
Bottom line: While some bricks-and-mortar businesses, such as Dick's Sporting Goods (NYSE:DKS), have been able to combat (or even embrace) the e-tailing march, Best Buy hasn't. It's a failing business with no current concrete plans for turning things around, and its best hope is a too-lofty-to-be-true buyout bid from a guy who really fumbled the ball once already.
That makes it a speculative holding, akin to biotechs treating hangnails and kosher cupcake start-ups. Don't risk further losses in an attempt to hit the stock lottery.

The Adirondack Initiative for Wired Work hosted by Clarkson University (p. 24) is an example of how we apply global learning and technologies to local challenges. By 2019 we want to help add 2,019 corporate telecommuters, mobile workers and working wired entrepreneurs in home-based offices in the Adirondack region to advance green tech commerce and new economic opportunities. Like other popular vacation destinations, the number of second and third family homes occupied only a few weeks per year is increasing in the Adirondack Park region thus affecting the vitality of basic services needed to sustain year-round residents as well as tourists. This Initiative seeks to preserve the unique character and natural environment of the Adirondack Park for residents, wildlife and recreation enthusiasts alike. We recognize that the Adirondacks are a gateway to Clarkson, and that our proximity to it - and all that it offers - both shapes and is shaped by our community.
On campus, we are also redesigning our residential-based education to meet the needs of the modern world. Through an expansion of our special interest campus housing for Greeks and theme groups (p. 22), we recognize the importance of creating opportunities for people with common interests as well as diverse backgrounds to live together as a "home" for ideas and shared values. Alumni articulate the benefit of this affinity experience time and again. These priorities in our campus master plan encourage leadership development, involvement in community service and outreach in global issues.
Thinking globally and acting locally give our faculty, students and alumni an edge in the marketplace and accelerate our evolution to excellence. Clarkson's campus is a portal to the world.
Tony Collins
* While Think Global Act Local is frequently associated with environmental movements, its roots are in social activism and urban planning.
Cities in Evolution by Patrick Geddes (1913) introduced thinking globally and acting locally for town and social planning as a way to enhance commerce and quality of life and to incorporate the best practices from cities around the world into town planning decisions.
