The photos and videos shown here may be of a different model, model year or body type from the one selected. The ratings of one vehicle often apply to other models if they are built on the same platform. In addition, a test of a vehicle from one model year may apply to earlier or later model years if the vehicle hasn't been significantly redesigned.
This rating applies to vehicles other than the specific model and body style tested.
The Chevrolet TrailBlazer was introduced in the 2002 model year, and the GMC Envoy was redesigned the same year. The Buick Rainier and Isuzu Ascender (5-passenger) were introduced in the 2004 model year.
Beginning with 2005 models, structural, frontal airbag, and seat belt changes were made to improve occupant protection in frontal crashes. The Saab 9-7X was introduced late in the 2005 model year, the Buick Rainier was discontinued after the 2007 model year, and the Isuzu Ascender was discontinued after the 2008 model year.
Measures taken from the head, neck, and chest indicate low risk of injuries to these body regions in a crash of this severity. Forces on the right tibia indicate that injuries to the lower leg would be possible. Head acceleration from the B-pillar hit was low.
Dummy movement was well controlled. During rebound, the dummy's head hit the B-pillar.
How this test is conducted
Beginning with 2005 models, front and rear side head curtain airbags became available as options. The Saab 9-7X was introduced late in the 2005 model year with standard head curtain airbags. The Buick Rainier was discontinued after the 2007 model year. Beginning with the 2008 model year, side airbags were made standard on all remaining models.
Driver — Measures taken from the dummy indicate that rib fractures and/or internal organ injuries would be likely in a crash of this severity. Serious neck injuries would also be possible.
Passenger — Measures taken from the dummy indicate a low risk of any significant injuries in a crash of this severity.
Driver — The dummy's head was protected from being hit by any hard structures, including the intruding barrier, by a side curtain airbag that deployed from the roof.
Passenger — The dummy's head was protected from being hit by any hard structures, including the intruding barrier, by a side curtain airbag that deployed from the roof.

LYNCHBURG, VA. – The Liberty Flames ran their unbeaten streak to nine games, playing the UNC Asheville Bulldogs to a scoreless tie on Senior Night at Osborne Stadium, Friday. The tie extends the Flames' unbeaten streak to nine games, 6-0-3, their longest such streak since a 12 game unbeaten streak (9-0-3) from Oct. 14, 2008 to Sept. 6, 2009.
Before the game, Liberty seniors Rafael Amaya, Uriah Bentick, Zack Clark, Andrew Jones, Travis Joseph, Richard Nyarko and Greg White were honored, as the seven played in their final regular season home game.
Liberty moves to 6-0-3 in Big South Conference action and 8-6-3 overall. Asheville finishes its season with a 0-9-1 mark in conference play and a 1-15-1 overall record.
The Flames carried play in the first half, outshooting the Bulldogs, 9-0. However, the Bulldogs received a solid effort from goalkeeper Dan Jackson, who turned away four shots to keep the contest scoreless.
Off the opening kickoff, Liberty defender Sam Duininck came free at the right corner of the 18-yard box for a shot. Jackson was in position and easily made the save.
During the 28th minute, Flames forward Kyle Breitmeyer had two shots corralled by Jackson. On the second attempt, a header off a crossing pass, the Bulldog goalkeeper made a diving save and cleared the ball.
Liberty's best opportunity of the first half may have come in the 38th minute. In transition, Breitmeyer took a feed into the center of box with a defender on his right shoulder. Trying for the lower right corner of the goal, his shot went just wide of the post.
The Flames opened the second half with a quality attempt during the 48th minute. Forward Tyler Bullock moved past a defender and lifted a shot, forcing a diving save by new Asheville goalkeeper Zak Davis.
In the 63rd minute, midfielder Sacheem Wilson slipped a pass from the right post into the center of the 18-yard box for Breitmeyer. Fending off a Bulldog defender in front of the net, Breitmeyer pushed a shot which Davis trapped against the turf, preventing a score.
Counter-attacking in the 75th minute, Asheville's Stabler Cochrane lined his team's first shot of the night from 20 yards out. Liberty goalkeeper Scott Sutarik made the stop and quickly cleared.
In transition, the Bulldogs had an attempt hit a post and bounce out during the 86th minute. Midfielder Trey Hemphill ripped a shot from six yards out towards the right corner of the net. His shot hit the post and was cleared by the Liberty defense.
A minute later, Breitmeyer came free with a defender and just pushed a shot over the crossbar, sending the game to overtime.
Liberty opened the first extra period with a shot off the kickoff in close by Breitmeyer, forcing Davis to deflect it out for a Flames corner kick. Liberty then got back-to-back corner kicks, but could not find the game-winner.
During the final minute of the first overtime, Asheville's Cochran took a feed on the left side of the box and pushed a shot through traffic from eight yards out, which Sutarik deflected away.
Bulldog midfielder was stopped on free kick from 20 yards out during the 104th minute in the second overtime. A minute later, Liberty's Wilson headed a crossing pass into the center of the 18-yard box off the goal's crossbar.
The Flames outshot the Bulldogs, 25-10, in the contest. Liberty also held a 5-2 advantage in corner kicks.
Sutarik played the entire 110 minutes in the Liberty goal, making four saves for his fifth shutout of the year. Jackson had four saves while playing the first half in the UNC Asheville net. Davis recorded four saves over the remaining 65 minutes for the Bulldogs.
Liberty will host one of the four Big South Quarterfinal games at Osborne Stadium on Tuesday at 6 p.m. The Flames now await the conclusion of the Big South regular season tomorrow for seeding and its first round opponent.

History of the Alabama Academy of Honor
The History of the Alabama Academy of Honor printed below was published in the Spring 1976 issue of The Alabama Historical Quarterly. C. J. Coley was a member of the initial nominating committee of the Academy of Honor, becoming a member in 1974. Until his death in 1997, at the age of 95, Judge Coley was deeply involved in Academy affairs, including service as its Secretary. He wrote many of the citations of new members, and his delivery was the high point of the induction ceremonies. The style and content of those citations were memorable and may be glimpsed by reading the History. Judge Coley was born in 1902 in Alexander City, Alabama. He attended the University of Alabama, but he was forced to withdraw before graduation on the death of his father. He was Probate Judge of Tallapoosa County for many years.
by C. J. Coley
On October 29, 1965, Act #15 of the special session of the Alabama Legislature became law creating the Alabama Academy of Honor. The legislation was designed to honor Living Alabamians who had made a significant contribution to the life and times of the State of Alabama and the Nation.
There were organizations in Alabama that had been in existence for a number of years for the purpose of paying tribute to outstanding citizens who had passed on to their reward. Until the Alabama Academy of Honor was created no such vehicle was in existence to pay signal commemoration to those still with us.
Dr. Emmett Bryan Carmichael, a native of Missouri and professor and chairman of the Department of Biochemistry, University of Alabama in Birmingham, was aware of a plan by the state of Missouri to honor living citizens of that state service to their fellowman. This group was known as the Missouri Academy of Squires. Dr. Carmichael, a citizen of Alabama for a good many years, was an educator of note possessing more than a passing interest in the affairs of his adopted state. He thought long and seriously about proposing a project in Alabama that would establish something similar to the Missouri Academy of Squires. Under date of March 10, 1965, Dr. Carmichael sent Governor George C. Wallace of Alabama a letter suggesting that some means of publicly acknowledging the services of those Alabama citizens whose efforts for the public good had been particularly meritorious be established by legislative edict. The Governor exhibited an interest in this recommendation and action began to be in evidence.
At the time Dr. Carmichael to communicate with Governor Wallace about a proposed Alabama Academy of Honor, the Governor became quite busy in national affairs organizing and promoting his campaign for the presidency of the United States, and as a consequence the Academy of Honor proposal did not germinate for a while. Governor Wallace was succeeded as Chief Executive of the State by his wife, Governor Lurleen Wallace. Dr. Carmichael initiated correspondence with Governor Lurleen Wallace asking that she activate the project of the Alabama Academy of Honor, and requesting that she appoint a committee to choose the first class to be so honored. After a short time in office, Governor Lurleen Wallace became ill, and was unable to give the leadership needed in the Governor's office. In the course of a few months she died.
Dr. Emmet B. Carmichael has a great deal of that stubbornness about his makeup that we hear is a characteristic of the Missouri mule. In his pleasant but determined way, Dr. Carmichael would not be denied. When Lt. Governor Albert Brewer succeeded to the governor's office Dr. Carmichael began to communicate with him relative to the dormant legislation titled the "Alabama Academy of Honor," which was in dire need of revitalizing. Governor Brewer set to work to fulfill the intent of the Alabama Legislature purporting to honor Alabamians who had invested time, thought, effort and means "above and beyond the call of duty", striving to create a better place in which to live for the people of this state.
The legislation that established the Alabama Academy of Honor is located here.
The committee to nominate the first inductees into the Alabama Academy of Honor was named by Governor Albert Brewer. They were sixteen in number: Henri Aldridge and Bill Hearn of Mobile; Bob Inman of Montgomery; Jake Merrill of Andalusia; Dr. Harry Philpott of Auburn; Judge C. J. Coley of Alexander City; Dr. Walter Graham of Wadley; Carl C. Morgan of Selma; Dr. Herbert Goldstein of Bessemer; Col. Paul Robinson of Marion; Dr. Emmett B. Carmichael and Duard LeGrand of Birmingham; A. P. Reich of Gadsden; Mrs. James Britain of Jasper; Mrs. Houston Glover of Huntsville; and Howell Heflin of Tuscumbia.
On October 25, 1968, at the request of Governor Brewer, the nominating committee met with the chairman, Dr. Emmett B. Carmichael, at the State Capitol of Montgomery. After long and careful study the following distinguished Alabama citizens were chosen to be inducted into the Alabama Academy of Honor as the first class. They were: Governor Albert P. Brewer; former governors, George C. Wallace, John Patterson and James E. Folsom; U.S. Senators Lister Hill and John Sparkman. The others were: Mrs. Bertha Smolian, philanthropist of Birmingham; Dr. Frank A. Rose, President of the University of Alabama at Tuscaloosa; Frank P. Samford, President of Liberty National Life Insurance Company of Birmingham; Paul W. Bryant, head football coach University of Alabama; Winton Blount, Postmaster General of the United States; Dr. A. G. Gaston, industrialist of Birmingham; Dr. Wernher von Braun, Space Scientist of Huntsville; and Admiral Thomas H. Moorer, Chief of U.S. Naval Operations. Former Governor John Patterson was chosen Chairman of the Alabama Academy of Honor, and Milo B. Howard, Jr., Director Alabama Department of Archives and History, was selected Secretary. The first induction ceremonies were held in the chambers of the Alabama House of Representatives in Montgomery on August 25, 1969, beginning at 11:00 a.m. The Master of Ceremonies for the 1969 class was Dr. Emmett Bryan Carmichael. Among the comments made by the Master of Ceremonies at this impressive affair, was "The Alabama Academy of Honor is the only organization which has been approved by the State Legislature and which recognized excellence of performance by Alabama citizens in all walks of life." U.S. Senator Lister Hill made a response for members of the 1969 class, and in his comments told something of significant work done by each inductee on behalf of the state of Alabama.
Milo B. Howard, Jr., Director of the Alabama Department of Archives and History, and acting Secretary for the Alabama Academy of Honor, read the citation quoted below for each nominee and a certificate was presented to each by Dr. Carmichael.
The citation read:
"To bestow honor and recognition upon living Alabamians for their outstanding accomplishments and service, the Alabama Academy of Honor was created by the State Legislature on October 29, 1965. Each person elected to membership is a distinguished citizen of Alabama, chosen for accomplishment or service greatly benefitting or reflecting great credit on the state."
After the ceremonies attended by members of the inductees families, friends and others, the inductees and members of their families attended a delightful luncheon at the Whitley Hotel in Montgomery.
During the formative days of the Alabama Academy of Honor, Dr. Emmett B. Carmichael was vigorously pursuing the dream that had possessed his mind for many months. Among those he communicated with was Ed Ewig, Secretary to Governor George Wallace, on August 9, 1965, and August 12, 1965. On September 3 and October 7, 1965, he was in communication with Representative Malcom Bethea of Jefferson County. Senator Lawrence Dumas, Jr., of Jefferson County was the object of Dr. Carmichael's urgings on May 16, 1967, and on August 9, 1968.
Matters were beginning to take shape in a very definite way in 1968, and on August 21 of that year Governor Brewer wrote Dr. Carmichael that he was appointing a committee to nominate the inductees for the class of 1969. Howell Heflin of Tuscumbia, Alabama, was appointed sub-chairman of a group to enact rules and procedures for the election of persons to be so honored. This having been done, the machinery was oiled and in running condition so that the Alabama Academy of Honor could be a going concern and elections continue until such group consisted of 100 living members.
It is a matter of record that only one person has ever declined the honor of being elected to the Alabama Academy of Honor, and that person was Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, Hugo L. Black. Justice Black, in declining the invitation, wrote that upon his elevation to the U.S. Supreme Court he made a vow that he would not accept honors, memberships on committees, or other activities of this nature throughout his Supreme Court career and though he deemed ita great honor to be so selected he could not make an exception in this case of the Academy of Honors.
In the course of time former Governor John Patterson, Chairman, and Milo B. Howard, Jr., Secretary of the Alabama Academy of Honor, began preparations for choosing the next class. After recommendations had been received ballots were prepared and sent to the existing members of the Alabama Academy of Honor. As a result of this voting five prominent Alabamians were selected. They were: Dr. Tinsley R. Harrison, nationally renowned heart specialist at the University of Alabama in Birmingham; head coach J. Ralph Jordan of Auburn University, recognized as a leader of national scope in his field; General John C. Persons of Birmingham, soldier, financier and civic leader; Dr. Harry M. Philpott, President of Auburn University, a leader in the field of education and religion; and Albert M. Rains, former Alabama Congressman, who had contributed greatly in the legislative councils of our nation.
Due to delays of various kinds, the second class of the Alabama Academy of Honor was not inducted until May 30, 1972. At this meeting, held in the chamber of the Alabama House of Representatives at Montgomery, Dr. Robert Strong, of the First Presbyterian Church of Montgomery, gave the invocation, and the Honorable Albert Rains made the response for the class of 1972.
Milo B. Howard, Jr., read the citations for which the five distinguished Alabamians had been so recognized, and former Governor John Patterson, representing Governor George Wallace, presented the certificates. The luncheon for the inductees, members of their families, current members and others, was held at the Whitley Hotel.
The third class of the Alabama Academy of Honor induction ceremonies were held in the chamber of the House of Representatives at the State Capitol in Montgomery on September 17, 1973. Nine persons had been tapped for this signal honor. This Monday morning meeting was filled with anticipation by the nominees, their loved ones, friends and neighbors, as well as a number of interested persons from all walks of life. The decision exercised in choosing the nominees was difficult because of the prominent Alabamians who had been suggested for such an honor. Nine worthy person had been selected and seven were present for the impressive affair. One had died since being elected and another was prevented from being present because of the death of a near relative in his wife's family.
The nine persons inducted into the Alabama Academy of Honor on this occasion were Emmett Bryan Carmichael, a biochemist in the field of higher education; Paul Grist of Selma, who had made an outstanding record as a leader of youth; Forest David Mathews, President of the University of Alabama; Thomas Dameron Russell, an Alexander City industrialist and philanthropist; Frank Edward Spain, attorney, businessman, and philanthropist of Birmingham; Mervyn Hayden Sterne of Birmingham, investment banker and philanthropist (Mr. Sterne had died prior to the ceremony.); Ernest Stone, President of Jacksonville State University; Joseph F. Volker, President of the University of Alabama in Birmingham; Leslie Stephen Wright, President of Samford University (Dr. Wright was unable to attend because of the death of a close relative of his wife.).
Former Governor John M. Patterson, Chairman of Alabama Academy of Honor, presided at the meeting. The invocation was offered by the Reverend Charles H. Douglass, Rector of St. John's Episcopal Church, Montgomery. Milo B. Howard, Jr., Secretary of Alabama Academy of Honor, read the citations and Governor George Wallace presented the certificates.
Following the induction ceremonies in the Chamber of the House of Representatives the honorees and members of their immediate families together with current members of the Academy, were guests of Governor and Mrs. George C. Wallace at the Governor's Mansion for a delightful and delicious luncheon.
This being the third class of the Alabama Academy of Honor more and more attention was being accorded this affair by the news media of the state. There were greater numbers of photographers, news reporters, and representatives of television and radio on hand. There was wide reporting of the selectees and what contribution each had made to their fellow man in the State of Alabama and throughout the Nation. One could see the evidence of more editorials commending the various inductees for the services they had rendered to make the state of Alabama a better place in which to live.
Former Governor John Patterson as chairman, and Milo B. Howard, Jr., as secretary of the Academy have done yeoman service since the first operational days and these two gentlemen, together with former U.S. Senator Lister Hill and Dr. Carmichael, have been willing to count ballots and prepare statements for the news media as to who the nominees are and what contributions they have made. It should be recorded here that Milo Howard and the Department of Archives and History of Alabama have been the vehicle through which much of the work has been channeled.
With the third class of the Alabama Academy of Honor now history, it became necessary to begin work for the fourth class of this prestigious organization. In earl August 1974, announcements were forthcoming from the Alabama Academy of Honor that ten people had been chosen to be inducted into this select group. They would be honored for services they rendered to their fellow man in Alabama and elsewhere. Again, the meeting place for the induction ceremonies was the chamber of chamber of the House of Representatives at the State Capitol in Montgomery. The meeting began at 11:00 in the morning with the Honorable John M. Patterson presiding. The invocation was given by the Reverend Father Francis Cusack. Milo B. Howard, Jr., secretary, read the citations and Governor Wallace presented the certificates. Remarks were offered by Dr. David Matthews, President of the University of Alabama and a member of the Academy of Honor. Judge C. J. Coley responded for the members of the class of 1974. Those of the 1974 class inducted on this auspicious occasion were Clinton Jackson Coley, Alexander City Banker, civic leader, and historian; Donald Comer, Jr., President of Avondale Mills, financier and industrialist; Luther H. Foster, President of Tuskegee Institute; Howell Thomas Heflin, of Tuscumbia, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Alabama and advocate of judicial reform in this state; Samuel Richardson Hill, Jr., Vice-President for Health Affairs, University of Alabama Medical Center, Birmingham, a proponent of extended health services in this state (Dr. Hill was unable to be present as he was out of the country at the time); John Webster Kirkland, world renowned vascular surgeon and teacher at the University of Alabama School of Medicine in Birmingham; Thomas Seay Lawson, Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of Alabama and a leader in the field of higher education of this state; J. Craig Smith, Chairman of the Board of Avondale Mills, leader in the field of textiles and a fighter for good government; Hudson Strode, author, University of Alabama Journalism teacher and world traveler (Dr. Strode was unable to be present because of illness); and Luther Leondias Terry, former Surgeon General of the United States, renowned physician and surgeon and leader in world health organizations.
September 8, 1975, was the date set for the induction of the Fifth Class of the Alabama Academy of Honor. The ten person chosen for this honor were selected from a large number of nominees who had distinguished themselves in many ways.
Eleven o'clock was the hour set for the installation ceremony held in the chamber of the House of Representatives and presided over by former Governor John Patterson. Dr. Emmett B. Carmichael acted as secretary, inasmuch as Milo B. Howard, Jr., was one of the inductees on this occasion. Mr. Howard has served as Secretary at the four previous ceremonies. There was wide spread interest in the choice of the ten distinguished Alabamians whose careers had been marked by notable achievements and who well deserved recognition.
Governor George C. Wallace entered the chamber promtly at eleven o'clock. The large number of people present stood and applauded. The Revered Albert D. Perkins, III, curate of St. John's Episcopal Church, Montgomery, gave the invocation. The Honorable John Patterson continued the meeting with a warm welcome and introduced Alabama Supreme Court Justice Thomas S. Lawson, who offered pertinent comments defining the purpose of the Alabama Academy of Honor. He spoke representing the membership of the Academy.
The press, radio, and television were well represented. Dr. Carmichael read the citations and Governor Wallace presented the plaques to: Rucker Agee, Birmingham investment banker, historian, and civil leader; James Browning Allen, junior United States Senator from Alabama, and long time worker for good government; Joseph Linyer Bedsole of Mobile, industrialist and philanthrophist; Ben Screws Gilmer, of Atlanta, Georgia, communications executive, civic leader, and churchman; Milo Barrett Howard, Jr., historian, author, and churchman; Charles D. McCallum, Jr., dental school dean and physician, teacher and author; Earl Mason McGowin, business executive and political leader; Julia Waker Russell, educator and philanthropist; William James Rushton, soldier, business executive and churchman.
After the last inductee was presented Chairman Patterson introduced Mrs. Julia Walker Russell of Alexander City, who offered observations as to the responsibilities of the ten person who had been admitted to membership. Her words were well chosen and meaningful.
After the benediction by Reverend Perkins all the members of the Alabama Academy of Honor present, together with members of their immediate families went to the Governor's Mansion to accept the hospitality of Governor and Mrs. Wallace for a delicious luncheon.

I'm a romantic realist, and I can accept that doping will never be completely eliminated from sport - just like cheating is a regrettable facet of life for some people. However, thanks to Bike-Pure, fans of cycling can now unify their voices and deliver loud-and-clear the message that we do not accept the fallacy that to be successful in cyclesport you have to dope. We want clean champions and those sponsors that fund ethical squads are the ones that will enjoy our patronage.If you haven't already, join the bike-pure movement, and tell 'em I sent ya.

(a) Payment methods shall minimize the time elapsing between the transfer of funds from the United States Treasury and the issuance or redemption of checks, warrants, or payment by other means by the recipients. Payment methods of State agencies or instrumentalities shall be consistent with Treasury-State CMIA agreements or default procedures codified at 31 CFR part 205.
(b) Recipients are to be paid in advance, provided they maintain or demonstrate the willingness to maintain:
(1) Written procedures that minimize the time elapsing between the transfer of funds and disbursement by the recipient, and
(2) Financial management systems that meet the standards for fund control and accountability as established in § 215.21. Cash advances to a recipient organization shall be limited to the minimum amounts needed and be timed to be in accordance with the actual, immediate cash requirements of the recipient organization in carrying out the purpose of the approved program or project. The timing and amount of cash advances shall be as close as is administratively feasible to the actual disbursements by the recipient organization for direct program or project costs and the proportionate share of any allowable indirect costs.
(c) Whenever possible, advances shall be consolidated to cover anticipated cash needs for all awards made by the Federal awarding agency to the recipient.
(1) Advance payment mechanisms include, but are not limited to, Treasury check and electronic funds transfer.
(2) Advance payment mechanisms are subject to 31 CFR part 205.
(3) Recipients shall be authorized to submit requests for advances and reimbursements at least monthly when electronic fund transfers are not used.
(d) Requests for Treasury check advance payment shall be submitted on SF-270, "Request for Advance or Reimbursement," or other forms as may be authorized by OMB. This form is not to be used when Treasury check advance payments are made to the recipient automatically through the use of a predetermined payment schedule or if precluded by special Federal awarding agency instructions for electronic funds transfer.
(e) Reimbursement is the preferred method when the requirements in § 215.12(b) cannot be met. Federal awarding agencies may also use this method on any construction agreement, or if the major portion of the construction project is accomplished through private market financing or Federal loans, and the Federal assistance constitutes a minor portion of the project.
(1) When the reimbursement method is used, the Federal awarding agency shall make payment within 30 days after receipt of the billing, unless the billing is improper.
(2) Recipients shall be authorized to submit request for reimbursement at least monthly when electronic funds transfers are not used.
(f) If a recipient cannot meet the criteria for advance payments and the Federal awarding agency has determined that reimbursement is not feasible because the recipient lacks sufficient working capital, the Federal awarding agency may provide cash on a working capital advance basis. Under this procedure, the Federal awarding
(g) To the extent available, recipients shall disburse funds available from repayments to and interest earned on a revolving fund, program income, rebates, refunds, contract settlements, audit recoveries and interest earned on such funds before requesting additional cash payments.
(h) Unless otherwise required by statute, Federal awarding agencies shall not withhold payments for proper charges made by recipients at any time during the project period unless paragraphs (h)(1) or (2) of this section apply.
(1) A recipient has failed to comply with the project objectives, the terms and conditions of the award, or Federal reporting requirements.
(2) The recipient or subrecipient is delinquent in a debt to the United States as defined in OMB Circular A-129, "Managing Federal Credit Programs." Under such conditions, the Federal awarding agency may, upon reasonable notice, inform the recipient that payments shall not be made for obligations incurred after a specified date until the conditions are corrected or the indebtedness to the Federal Government is liquidated.
(i) Standards governing the use of banks and other institutions as depositories of funds advanced under awards are as follows.
(1) Except for situations described in paragraph (i)(2) of this section, Federal awarding agencies shall not require separate depository accounts for funds provided to a recipient or establish any eligibility requirements for depositories for funds provided to a recipient. However, recipients must be able to account for the receipt, obligation and expenditure of funds.
(2) Advances of Federal funds shall be deposited and maintained in insured accounts whenever possible.
(j) Consistent with the national goal of expanding the opportunities for women-owned and minority-owned business enterprises, recipients shall be encouraged to use women-owned and minority-owned banks (a bank which is owned at least 50 percent by women or minority group members).
(k) Recipients shall maintain advances of Federal funds in interest bearing accounts, unless paragraphs (k)(1), (2) or (3) of this section apply.
(1) The recipient receives less than $120,000 in Federal awards per year.
(2) The best reasonably available interest bearing account would not be expected to earn interest in excess of $250 per year on Federal cash balances.
(3) The depository would require an average or minimum balance so high that it would not be feasible within the expected Federal and non-Federal cash resources.
(l) For those entities where CMIA and its implementing regulations at 31 CFR part 205 do not apply, interest earned on Federal advances deposited in interest bearing accounts shall be remitted annually to Department of Health and Human Services, Payment Management System, Rockville, MD 20852. Interest amounts up to $250 per year may be retained by the recipient for administrative expense. State universities and hospitals shall comply with CMIA, as it pertains to interest. If an entity subject to CMIA uses its own funds to pay pre-award costs for discretionary awards without prior written approval from the Federal awarding agency, it waives its right to recover the interest under CMIA.
(m) Except as noted elsewhere in this part, only the following forms shall be authorized for the recipients in requesting advances and reimbursements. Federal agencies shall not require more than an original and two copies of these forms.
(1) SF-270, Request for Advance or Reimbursement. Each Federal awarding agency shall adopt the SF-270 as a standard form for all nonconstruction programs when electronic funds transfer or predetermined advance methods
(2) SF-271, Outlay Report and Request for Reimbursement for Construction Programs. Each Federal awarding agency shall adopt the SF-271 as the standard form to be used for requesting reimbursement for construction programs. However, a Federal awarding agency may substitute the SF-270 when the Federal awarding agency determines that it provides adequate information to meet Federal needs.

DIXON – A pretrial conference for a Dixon man accused of strangling his wife was reset for May 24.
Defense attorney James Fagerman said he needs more time to investigate confidential matters involving his client, Brian C. Sigler, 34, charged with first-degree murder.
Police say Sigler strangled his wife, Yolanda, 34, on Jan. 13, then tried to kill himself.
Other hearings also were rescheduled for May 24. They include:
– A pretrial conference for Matthew W. Welling, 32, of Amboy, charged with first-degree murder and two counts of home invasion. Police say Welling pushed his way into the Amboy home of Delmar Leroy Daniels, 79, on July 18 and killed him during a struggle.
– A pretrial conference for Charles T. George, 35, of Dixon, charged with two counts of aggravated battery of a child, aggravated domestic battery, and involuntary manslaughter. Police say George shook his 3-month-old daughter, Tamari, in September 2010; she died several days later from blunt-force trauma to the head.
– A pretrial conference for Steven A. Watts, 56, of Berryville, Ark., charged with first-degree murder in connection with the beating and suffocation death of Gary D. Dawson, 30, of Peoria, in late August 1983.
– A ruling on a motion to suppress statements Jordan LeMay made to police. Judge Ronald Jacobson needed more time to review the 9-hour video of the police interview, Assistant State's Attorney Stacey Wittman said. LeMay, 22, of Ashton, is charged with three counts of predatory criminal sexual assault of a child. Police say he raped a girl younger than 13 in summer 2009.

"Real Housewives of Atlanta" star Kandi Burruss has spoken out following the shocking death of her fiance Ashley Jewell after a fight outside of an Atlanta strip club on Friday night.
"I am devastated by the loss of AJ," she said in a statement to Access Hollywood. "His death comes on the heels of the death of my beloved Uncle Ralph and with both of them gone, my heart is heavy with grief."
VIEW THE PHOTOS: Sudden Endings: Stars Who Died Too Soon
And the loss came as a shock – she'd talked to him just hours before the fatal incident.
"I had spoken to AJ two hours before I got the call that he was in the hospital," she said. "Never in a thousand years did I think it was going to be the last time I heard his voice. He was taken way too soon. There are so many things that I should have said to him, wanted to say to him… But now it's too late. I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to all of my family and friends — and that means my twitter and facebook friends as well — for the beautiful words of encouragement, prayers, and the sweet condolences. I make it through these difficult days because of you."

The reality star further urged fans to recognize their loved ones while they still can.
"I know this is cliche but I urge everyone to treat each day as if it's your last and tell that special someone you love them today," she said. "Don't wait. It may be too late. Please pray for his children, his family and Riley - they too are grieving the loss of an incredible man, son, brother and father. I wish you all had gotten to know the AJ we all knew and loved."
According to The Associated Press, a suspect, Frederick Richardson, was charged on Saturday with voluntary manslaughter in Ashley's death. Ashley reportedly died from "massive head injuries" suffered in a brawl outside of Atlanta's Body Tap Club.

Dear Chuck and Scott:
Thank you very much for your interesting replies.
Another important point related to topic of termination is appraisal of internal vs. external termination. The internal termination appears to offer advantages of eliminating the need for external stubs and components. But this is achieved at the price of sacrificing flexibility. For instance an IC having internal series termination eliminates the need for an external series resistor and the associated stub. But the disadvantage is that series termination is suitable only for certain routing topologies (such as point to point routing) and not the right for choice for other types of topologies (such as daisy-chain ). Similar reasoning applies to internal parallel termination. Variations in the characteristic impedance of the trace can be also better dealt with by use of external terminators.
What are your thoughts on this subject ?
Thanks again.

Subject: Re: [SI-LIST] : Parallel Termination in Theory and Practice
Very good points from Scott. I'd like to add in regard to point #4 that
the stubs are also capacitively and inductively loaded. So the stubs can
resonate at frequencies far lower than the 1/4 or 1/2 wavelength value.
When these resonances are lower in frequency than the bit rate, they
contribute to pattern dependent jitter (as described in point #1).
Remember that two capacitively (or inductively) loaded stubs can resonate
together as the transmission line performs an impedance transformation.
"Critical length" is used as a decision criterion to separate a lumped
parameter circuit from a distributed parameter circuit model. Scott's
comments address the limitations due to dispersion, loss in the
transmission line. My comments raise the issue of distributed circuit
effects appearing much lower in frequency than would be expected with
oversimplified modeling.
Since there are many other considerations, I apply the critical length
approximation with great care.

Downloading files refers to the act of choosing to receive a file or program from a web site. Examples are a web browser, a sound file, movie file or screensaver. Downloadable files are usually executables. Meaning that once they are downloaded, clicking on them launches or installs a program or deposits files on your computer. Whenever you download a file from a web site, you will always be given the choice of where you would like to save the file. Unless you explicitly trust the site delivering the downloadable, it is a good idea to save the file to disk before opening or activating it.
We sometimes use downloadable files to deliver our products and/or services. If information on our site requires a particular piece of software to view it, we will provide a link for you to acquire that software. Examples are plug-ins for your browser that allow you to view files like Macromedia Flash or Shockwave, Adobe Acrobat, the Quick Time player or Real Player. We rarely, if ever, will require you to download an uncommon piece of software or program to view our information.
With respect to any agreement between you and any third party, you agree and acknowledge that we do not intend to interfere with any contractual agreement between you and a third party, and you promise to perform fully your obligations under any such contract. You agree and acknowledge that it is your sole responsibility to perform such obligations. You promise not to use our services and products if such use would breach any term, material or otherwise, of any such agreement.
Your correspondence or business dealings with, or participation in promotions of, any third party found on or through our services or products, including, without limitation, payment and delivery of related goods or services, and any other terms, conditions, warranties, or representations associated with such dealings, are solely between you and such third party. You agree and acknowledge that we are not, and will not be, responsible or liable for any loss or damage of any sort incurred as a result of any such dealings, and you promise to indemnify, defend, and hold us harmless from any liability asserted against us as a result of any such dealings.

We may let other companies that show advertisements on some of our pages set and access their cookies on your computer. Other companies' use of their cookies is subject to their own privacy policies, not these PPTU. Advertisers or other companies do not have access to our cookies. If you set your browser to reject cookies, you may not be able to use all the features of our products and services. Third party cookies may also be used on our websites to place a unique cookie on your browser for tracking and marketing purposes. Any information collected via these cookies is anonymous.
Our advertisers and we may elect to use a software technology called clear gifs (a.k.a., "web beacons," "web bugs," or "action tags") to help better manage advertising and traffic on our web site. Clear gifs are tiny graphics with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies. Clear gifs may ping or alert the advertiser's server or our server about your online movements. We do not have access to any information collected by the clear gifs of our advertisers.
Sometimes, prior to serving a web page, a web server will use a simple html program to check the speed of your Internet connection or the existence of certain plug-ins or software. An example would be to detect which version of a particular browser you are using or which version of the Macromedia Flash plug-in you have. Once identified, the server delivers the page or Flash movie to match the performance level or version of the software or plug-in in your system. The benefit is that you always see the content in its optimum state.
Not all web site owners do this simply because it means having to build multiple versions of content. In fact, most simply offer a statement on their homepage to the effect that "This site is best viewed using Microsoft IE 4.0 and/or Netscape 4.0 etc."
With our web site, we sometimes check your Internet connection speed in order to deliver multi-media content such as streaming video or audio at its optimum viewing level.

What's that being dangled on the left? A baby mouse. When soaked in rice wine, mice - just days old - turn the beverage into a traditional Chinese and Korean tonic for everything ranging from the common cold to virility. Here, British TV host Piers Gibbon, also known as the "Witch Doctor," samples some of the brew in Hong Kong. Gibbon has been traveling the globe trying the world's most unusual remedies for a new National Geographic TV show.
What else has he tried? Treatments range from animal sacrifice to hallucinogenic drinks. Keep clicking to see more daring experiments Gibbon and other cast members of the new show have tried...

Steer clear of leeches? Nah. Leech therapy is common in some areas of the world, including Sanjeevani, India (where this picture was taken). It's a form of bloodletting, an ancient practice based on the concept of balancing bodily "humors": black bile, yellow bile, phlegm, and blood. Leech saliva has an anticoagulant, so the "bite site" bleeds easily.

Here's another method of bloodletting, traditionally practiced in India. Here, Gibbon and a teammate have their legs bound up. When the veins pop up, the practitioner flicks a little razor blade and the blood starts oozing out.
Gibbon examines his foot after a bout of bloodletting.
Forget swallowing pills - how about pouring medicinal oil directly on the affected area? Medicinal oil is used to treat conditions such as migraines and tinnitus (ringing in the ears). Almost four-fifths of India's nearly 1.2 billion population use alternative medicine, according to National Geographic.
"Gauze treatment" is practiced in some regions of India (such as Sanjeevani, here) to "remove toxins" from the stomach. How does the treatment work? The patient swallows a long strip of gauze, keeping hold of the last inch. He then massages the stomach manually to "cleanse" the stomach, and then pulls the gauze back out.
Neti pots are now found in drugstores in the U.S., but they originated in South Asia. The nasal irrigation treatment uses nothing but ordinary salt water. The water is poured into one nostril and leaves through the other. Here, Gibbon tries Neti in Delhi, India.
Are animal sacrifices obsolete? Not in Cameroon. Here in the capital city Yaounde, Gibbon holds up a dead chicken that has been sacrificed on behalf of his health.
Credit: Bullseye Productions Ltd. and Chris Taylor
You may not have much luck finding a Western doctor in Cameroon - there are only about 3,000, compared with around 10,000 traditional Cameroonian healers. Here, Gibbon talks with one, Dr. Alfred.
Botox of the East? Not quite. Here, Gibbon is receiving facial acupuncture for the first time. Acupuncture is one of the most common treatments in Traditional Chinese Medicine - which is used by 60 percent of people in Hong Kong, according to National Geographic. It aims to restore health at specific points on the body by penetrating and stimulating the skin with thin, short needles.
Some people drink chicken noodle soup when they're sick. In Hong Kong (and the rest of China), people drink snake soup so that they don't get sick. Here, Gibbon "enjoys" a bowl of the traditional soup that Chinese people believe benefits overall health.
Gibbon plays with a snake - before it's cooked and served.
Gibbon watches a teammate undergo blood cupping treatment to relieve back pain. Glass cups are heated to create a vacuum, and then placed on the body. The suction pulls at the skin and "sucks out" the body's toxins. The ancient treatment is based on the idea that suctioning the skin promotes better blood flow.
The lower leg is another common spot for cupping treatment.
Chinese herbal remedies contain thousands of ingredients, from tree bark to toxic toad venom. Here's a snapshot of a few, sold in a local store.
Despite 300 years of contact with Europeans and Peruvians, the local Shibipo people of Peru still maintain a strong tribal identity and shamanic traditions, according to National Geographic. Here, a shaman performs a spiritual ritual in front of a caiman (in the crocodile family). The fat of the caiman is used to treat lung problems, such as asthma./p>
"The jungle is our pharmacy, our drug store," shaman Luzmilla tells Gibbon, as she shows him an Amazonian medicinal plant native to Peru.
Ayahuasca is a sacred hallucinogenic drink used extensively throughout Amazonia. Locals say it can heal many ailments, both physical and spiritual.
