Frank Tenpenny is a corrupt police officer of the Los Santos Police Department (LSPD) and the head of C.R.A.S.H., he serves as the main antagonist in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.
Tenpenny claims that his approach to the job is about "percentages" and that his philosophy calls for overlooking some crime to achieve a greater good. It appears that he believes what he says, but in reality Tenpenny and his unit are corrupt to the core and terrorize gang leaders in a fashion much like a gang themselves, except with the power of law enforcement behind them. They can kill indiscriminately and are skimming the profits from the rival gangs. Tenpenny himself is a polluting influence, convincing good cops to aid him in his pursuits.
GTA San Andreas
Tenpenny rides with Eddie Pulaski and a third C.R.A.S.H. member. Prior to the game's storyline, the third member is Ralph Pendelbury, whom Tenpenny has killed in The Introduction for cooperating with internal affairs. Just prior to Pendlebury's murder, Tenpenny and Pulaski brief their newest recruit, Jimmy Hernandez, in a scene reminiscent of the film Training Day. They both order Hernandez to pull the trigger on Pendelbury, thereby initiating Hernandez into their distorted view of things.
Relationship with CJ
Tenpenny has known protagonist Carl Johnson at least since Brian Johnson's death, and CJ recognizes Tenpenny and calls him by name from the very beginning of the game. Tenpenny likes to "step on" CJ on a regular basis to remind him who's in charge. Tenpenny is obviously seen to be a powerful influence on Los Santos' criminals, even warning CJ that "we could shit on you from such a height, you'll think God himself has crapped on you." He sees CJ as another tool in his dirty dealings. He and Pulaski extort several Grove Street Families members, including Big Smoke and Ryder, but Tenpenny appears to take pleasure in exercising control over CJ specifically. He officially threatens CJ to do his work or he'll frame him for Officer Pendlebury's murder whom Tenpenny had killed ten minutes ago.
Gang Association
While Tenpenny claims he is pitting the gangs against each other to wipe them all out, he is actually allied with the Ballas, who (unlike the GSF) have no reservations against dealing crack cocaine. C.R.A.S.H. lets the Ballas flood the city with drugs, which turns many GSF members into addicts, effectively crushing their gang. Tenpenny also convinces Smoke to betray his gang in return for heading up the drug operation; in turn, Smoke convinces Ryder to defect also. Tenpenny and Pulaski personally oversee the Balla slaying of Carl and Sweet Johnson's mother Beverly Johnson. Tenpenny anticipates that her death will bring CJ back to Los Santos, and accosts him less than a block from his home in Ganton. The C.R.A.S.H. team plants evidence on him linking him to Pendelbury's death (allowing Tenpenny to force CJ into doing whatever he sees fit). He warns CJ not to leave town and dumps him out of the squad car in Balla territory.
Later, Tenpenny and Pulaski kidnap CJ following a large gang assault beneath the Mulholland Intersection (this ended with Sweet being shot and Carl and Sweet being arrested. Clearly, Tenpenny personally ensured that CJ would escape the law). They drive CJ miles away to Whetstone and dump him in the woods with orders to kill an FBI witness. He also tells CJ, who now knows of Big Smoke's involvement with C.R.A.S.H., not to kill Big Smoke, or the imprisoned Sweet will be put on a Balla cell block. Tenpenny and Pulaski surface every so often to lean on CJ and usually order him to plant evidence on or kill someone who threatens to expose the true nature of C.R.A.S.H.
With Big Smoke ruling Los Santos as its crack kingpin under C.R.A.S.H.'s control, Tenpenny's reach is expanding. Despite this, the FBI is becoming interested in the wave of drugs crippling the city. CJ finally outlives his usefulness to Tenpenny and Pulaski, who are becoming edgy and less tolerant of loose ends by the time CJ reaches Las Venturas. There they have him acquire an FBI dossier. After this he drives CJ out to the desert, where Tenpenny attacks Hernandez for cooperating with Internal Affairs and orders Carl to dig his own grave. He then leaves CJ and Hernandez for Pulaski to watch so he can "get drunk and get laid", so he is not present to see CJ murder Pulaski.
Upon taking back Madd Dogg's mansion, Tenpenny is eventually charged for racketeering, corruption, possession and use of narcotics and numerous sexual assaults. However, as all the prosecution's witnesses have either been killed by CJ or otherwise gone missing, Tenpenny is acquitted, which ignites a riot in Los Santos reminiscent of the 1992 Los Angeles riots
Tenpenny seeks to escape Los Santos and the riot by plane (supposedly fleeing San Andreas) with a suitcase full of drug money. Tenpenny emerges just as CJ has killed Big Smoke and tells him he has new recruits in the force who are ready for him to "open their eyes" to his way of thinking. Tenpenny starts a fire in Big Smoke's Crack Palace downstairs, hoping to kill CJ in the blast, then flees in a fire truck. Carl's brother, Sweet, however, hangs on to the firetruck's ladder; CJ catches him in his car and continues the chase.
At the last cut scene of the "End of the Line" mission, Tenpenny's fire engine runs off an overpass, where it lands in a wreck right in the heart of Grove Street. A bloodied and broken Tenpenny crawls out calling for backup. Realizing no one is coming, he curses the police force, claiming that with "fifty of me", Los Santos would be saved, before dying from his injuries. CJ and the rest of his crew examine the body to make sure he's finished, but Sweet makes sure no one touches him so officials will blame a traffic accident for his death. Before they walk away from the body, The Truth tells CJ that he "beat the system" after Truth had been trying for 30 years. CJ then leans over, points his fingers at Tenpenny's body and smugly says, "See you around, officer." Tenpenny's corpse is reported on the radio to have been mutilated and stripped by the homeless, before officials found it once the riots had ended.

Looks like within the last two weeks NewPark Mall has welcomed a new client — "Tilt" arcade. It's a rather small location, but it's toward the south end of the mall on the bottom floor, close to the former Mervyns.
A friend of mine who grew up in Fremont said there used to be an arcade at the mall — he seems to remember it also being called "Tilt" — but I'm not sure if this is the same. There used to be a "Tilt" at Vallco Mall (now known as Cupertino Square) in Cuptertino, but it was much bigger.

I think it's rude to ask for something when that's the only time you can be bothered to communicate with the person you're asking. Especially if they've tried to keep in touch and you've ignored them. You didn't ask for one but I feel like offering a hug.

$230 for new
$350 for used?
All right honies, what we NOT finna do is sit up here and drag 'Drea.
Y'all can go fold some laundry with Lori with that nonsense.
I have this really bad feeling that the new season is going to go off the rails. It seems this is the inevitability with everything Hollywood. The first season is great. The writing is spot on and the story is rocking. Then there is season two. The writing gets more muddled and the story starts to ravel a bit. Then season three is usually the death-knell. It is so unfortunate. The actors are just hitting their stride and they have crappy writing with which to work.
I still cant believe TWD snubbed all the Golden Globes and SAG Awards or maybe Emmy
I can't believe it is almost here. I can wait a week and a half.
Well, that can't be a bitch slap on Lori, so I wonder what it could be...When the show returns on February 10, not only will we learn the outcome of the Daryl/Merle showdown, a character you probably never thought you'd see again will put in an appearance, and Rick will do something (literally) everyone has wanted to do at one time or another.
I finally got to see season 1, since they were showing it last night, and the walkers seemed smarter and faster. lol I saw some run, use rocks, and climb a fence. O_o
Unless they are zombies from Warm Bodies, which I saw and was cute as phuck!
Yeah, I'm glad they didn't go the whole running/smart zombies route. It was just weird that they were like that in the first season. lol Maybe they were just more energetic then 'cause they had more to eat. :P Now they look more malnourished and starving.
I finally watched the 1st episode (the only one I had missed). Question, how did Rick walk barefoot most of the way home from the hospital, and when he was on the floor in the fetal position, his feet were clean? Weird thing to notice?
Thank god it's coming back this Sunday!
I'm wearing this shirt from season 1 in honor of today!
It's almost here! I shouldn't have watched the season 2 marathon yesterday. I forgot how annoying Lori and Andrea were.
"Don't hold strong opinions about things you don't understand."
Lori is still causing problems beyond the grave. Bitch go away.
Great episode tonight, as usual.
Rick just needs some rest and Id like to give him a bath.
" For all there is to feel, let it be felt"

People who've not seen the episode, don't read below. Talking to you, sis.
I just need Rick to be good and sane, he's losing it and it's killing me. And Daryl chose his brother!? When they were in the woods, instead of hitting him in the head, I would've shot his ass. Annoying as fuck!
I can't really read the comic to find out what happens with Daryl because him and his brother aren't in it, so I'll just have to wait. I hope he comes back so him, Rick, Glenn, Maggie and Michonne can kick ass as a team.
I like the new group 'cept for ol boy who wanted to take over the prison when only Carl and Carol were alone.
Line of the night:
Tyrese: "I must be the first brotha in history to break into prison."
Yes, absolutely.
Merle can not be trusted. He just got back and he's talking out of his ass, but I would expect nothing less from Merle. I hate that Darryl felt the need to go with him. Rick and the crew are his family and he's made such great emotional progress, even in these horrible times. He'll just regress with Merle. Its sad. On The Talking Dead, a viewer asked What will it take for Darryl to abandon Merle ? What could be the last straw ? Thats a good question. Will he ever give up on Merle ? I wonder.
Im loving the Tyrese character. I don't love his name but thats for another time.
He has such a sweet disposition. I like the Black girl ( I don't know her name ) but that man and his (son?) have to go. They are just trouble waiting to happen.
Is Hershel's daughter crushing on Rick ? That kiss on the cheek was unexpected. He's a DILF, I get it....but its still weird.
AND...I need a lesbian on the show.

I keep thinking Andrea might just make her move and leave Woodbury, but then she did that leadership thing at the end. I don't even know now!
" For all there is to feel, let it be felt"
― Emeli Sande
I cant stand Rick's delusional
Carl must babysit his papa and take control the prison for a minute
Glenn's anger causing his awkward relationship with Maggie
Rick looked hot as fuck in the new episode, despite him going crazy, lol. The next episode looks interesting too. I can't wait!
I suppose they had a little bit of that vibe going. I can't really go there with them.
I was kind of thinking of the new Black girl and Hershel's daughter lol. I know that is a stretch as well, especially since Hershel's daughter looks a little young.
Idk, Sometimes it feels like the zombies ate all the queer people.
" For all there is to feel, let it be felt"
― Emeli Sande
I'm holding out for Beth and Carl, tbqh. Hershel will deal. Did you guise see the shot of Carl and Beth scrambling through the prison courtyard with guns in the clip for next week? Something goin' down.
I find it fascinating that the characters in this show can stress me da phuq out and infuriate me, but I still see where they're coming from and respect their decisions. Like ThatGirl said, as much as I didn't like it, I could see where Daryl was coming from with Merle. Maybe it's just because I grew up with siblings that I didn't always get along with, but you really do ride for your blood, and if he didn't in that moment, girl...
And all I want Andrea to do is get ha ass to that prison and reunite with the group, but on the other hand she really is blossoming into the Barack Obama of Woodbury with that speech. Better come around soon tho.
^ For real about Sasha? Damn, well, at least we know who's gonna get built up only to have a glorious death.
That kiss was ok, but the longing look after was weird and creepy. Come on, gurl, Carl's got the hots for you already!
But I watch Once Upon a Time too, so qt.
Aw, okay..everyone is straight.
And pretty Sasha is leaving .
Well Ill look forward to seeing her on Once Upon A Time.
I know that Beth and Carl are supposed to be getting together, but she still looks way too old for him.
I do not want her longing after Rick either, that may be even weirder.

Russia must stop "bullying" Ukraine or face increased sanctions from Australia and its western allies, Prime Minister Tony Abbott has warned.
Russia on Thursday announced a 12-month trade ban on agricultural goods from Australia, the European Union, United States and several other western nations.
The tit-for-tat response followed tough sanctions imposed by Australia's partners in the wake of Russia's policy on Ukraine, which has faced political instability for months amid an internal conflict with Russian-backed separatists.
Australia has so far imposed about 50 minor sanctions.
It held off taking tougher action while Australian and Dutch police attempted to recover the remains and possessions of 298 people, including 38 Australians, killed when Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 was shot down over eastern Ukraine on July 17.
Now that Australian personnel have largely completed Operation Bring Them Home and returned to the Netherlands, Mr Abbott can consider more action.
"Russia is a big country trying to bully a small country," he said, branding any Russian troop movement into Ukraine as an "invasion".
"I say to President (Vladimir) Putin, if he wants to be regarded as a world leader, as opposed to becoming an international outcast, hold your forces back, stay behind the border and let the business of Ukraine be sorted out by the Ukrainians."
Australia was still working on what further sanctions would be imposed, but Mr Abbott said they would be "strong".
"The way to avoid increased sanctions is for Russia to call off what it appears to be in preparation for," he said referring to an estimated 20,000 troops amassed on the Ukrainian border.
It was beyond doubt pro-Russian separatists armed with a Russian missile system were responsible for the downing of MH17 over Ukraine's Donetsk region, Mr Abbott said.
Russia's ban includes beef, pork, fruit and vegetable produce, poultry, fish, cheese, milk and dairy products.
Australia's agricultural trade with Russia is worth about $400 million out of a total $736 million in merchandise exports.
Deputy Prime Minister and Nationals leader Warren Truss said Russia wasn't a focus for Australia exports, unlike Asia.
"Russia has not been a reliable customer of Australia now for a very long period of time," he said.
New free trade deals with Japan and Korea and a pending agreement with China should offset any gaps.
But Federal Agriculture Minister Barnaby Joyce said it would cause hardship for rural producers.
"We will try and work around it," he said.
Opposition Leader Bill Shorten said Russia lacked the "moral authority" to impose sanctions.
"For the Russians to be talking about sanctions against us makes me sick in the guts," he said, noting it happened on the same day as Australia was holding a memorial service for the domestic victims of MH17.
President Putin is due to attend a leaders meeting of the Group of 20 industrialised countries in Brisbane in November.
Mr Abbot has so far declined to ban him Putin from attending the G20 under Australia's presidency.
Deputy Opposition Leader Tanya Plibersek said a ban wouldn't achieve anything.
"Sometimes the best way ... is to have someone in the room to say it to their face," he said.
Economist Tim Harcourt said President Putin was unlikely to be flustered by further action.
"You poke a Russian bear with trade sanctions, you get clobbered," he said.

NMPF and IDFA Urge Wisconsin Lawmakers to Reject State Legislation Allowing Sales of Unpasteurized Milk
ARLINGTON, VA – For the second time in three years, organizations representing the nation's dairy farmers and dairy companies jointly urged state lawmakers in Wisconsin to reject efforts allowing raw milk sales directly to consumers in the nation's second-largest dairy state.
In a letter sent Tuesday to Wisconsin state senators, the National Milk Producers Federation (NMPF) and the International Dairy Foods Association (IDFA) said that the risks inherent in raw dairy products are not worth any purported benefits to either consumers or producers of unpasteurized milk products. The two associations urged lawmakers to reject Wisconsin State Senate bill 236, which would allow the state‐wide direct sale of raw milk. The measure is the subject of a hearing today in Madison.
"Consumption of raw milk has been opposed by every major health organization in the United States, including the American Medical Association and the American Academy of Pediatrics. The link between raw milk and foodborne illness has been well‐documented in the scientific literature, with evidence spanning nearly 100 years. Raw milk is a key vehicle in the transmission of human pathogens, including E. coli O157:H7, Campylobacter, Listeria monocytogenes, and Salmonella," the organizations wrote.
Federal law prohibits the interstate sale of raw milk, but allows states individual discretion to regulate raw milk sales within their borders. Several states in recent years have considered legislation expanding the sales of raw milk, even as the product has been repeatedly linked to serious illnesses from coast to coast. At a school event in Wisconsin in 2011, 16 individuals, including fourth-grade students and adults, drank raw milk donated by a parent and later suffered from diarrhea, abdominal cramping, nausea, and vomiting from Campylobacter infections.
IDFA and NMPF wrote that "it is the responsibility of Wisconsin's leaders to make decisions to protect the health of the public, most especially those who are minors and are unable to make fully informed decisions that could have profound consequences for the rest of their lives."
The two dairy groups mentioned in the letter that "the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) has reported that nearly 75% of raw milk‐associated outbreaks have occurred in states where sale of raw milk was legal. Legalizing the state‐wide sale of raw milk in Wisconsin increases the risk to public health, opening up the state's consumers to the inevitable consequence of falling victim to a foodborne illness. No matter how carefully it is produced, raw milk is inherently dangerous. Americans have become ill after consuming raw milk obtained from farms of varying sizes, from cow‐share programs, and from licensed, permitted, or certified raw milk producers."
"Nationally, our dairy industry benefits from a very high degree of consumer confidence – confidence built in large part due to the excellent food safety record of milk and dairy products. In fact, current statistics estimate only 1‐2% of reported foodborne outbreaks are attributed to dairy products. However, of those, over 70% have been attributed to raw milk and inappropriately‐aged raw milk cheeses. A single case of illness – even one caused by a well-intentioned dairy farmer – that is attributed to raw milk or raw dairy products in Wisconsin would likely have an adverse effect on consumer confidence in and consumption of all healthful, nutrient‐rich dairy foods like milk, yogurt, and cheese."
"While choice is an important value, it should not pre‐empt consumers' well‐being. Legalizing the state‐wide sale of raw milk is an unnecessary risk to consumer safety. Therefore, we strongly urge you to oppose Senate Bill 236," the letter said.
The two organizations made a similar plea against liberalizing raw milk sales in 2010, when former Wisconsin Governor Jim Doyle was presented with a bill that he ultimately vetoed.
The National Milk Producers Federation, based in Arlington, VA, develops and carries out policies that advance the well being of dairy producers and the cooperatives they own. The members of NMPF's 30 cooperatives produce the majority of the U.S. milk supply, making NMPF the voice of more than 32,000 dairy producers on Capitol Hill and with government agencies.
The International Dairy Foods Association, Washington, DC, represents the nation's dairy manufacturing and marketing industries and their suppliers, with a membership of 550 companies representing a $125-billion a year industry. IDFA is composed of three constituent organizations: the Milk Industry Foundation (MIF), the National Cheese Institute (NCI) and the International Ice Cream Association (IICA). IDFA's 220 dairy processing members run more than 600 plant operations, and range from large multi-national organizations to single-plant companies. Together they represent more than 85% of the milk, cultured products, cheese and frozen desserts produced and marketed in the United States. IDFA can be found online at www.idfa.org.

Investors dumped shares of Google after yesterday's fourth-quarter earnings call, sending shares of the company plummeting 9 percent in after-hours trading spurred largely in part by a reported 8 percent drop in cost per click (CPC), or the amount advertisers pay every time a person clicks one of Google's online ads.
Profits and total revenues were also lower. Google reported a 7 percent year-over-year increase in profits and overall revenues jumped 25 percent year-over-year. That's down from a 26 percent rise in profits and 33 percent increase in revenues in the previous quarter.
Susan Wojcicki, the company's senior vice president of ads, partially attributed the drop in CPC to foreign exchange rates but added that a host of factors influence the company's aggregate quarterly numbers.
Michael Graham, analyst for Cannacord Genuity, believes Google missed expectations almost entirely on currency dynamics, with a much smaller impact from unfavorable traffic mix. "While results were disappointing, these issues should pass, and underlying growth-predicting metrics were strong," Graham wrote in research notes.
Traffic mix seemed to be the theme among analysts, many of whom noted that more mobile ad clicks, which cost less than desktop clicks, could be a contributing factor to the company's falling CPC.
On the mobile side, Google CEO Larry Page called Android performance "quite simply, mind-boggling." Page said 700,000 phones are being activated per day, with 250 million Android devices in users' hands, up 50 million since November.
"In just two days over the holiday weekend, 3.7 million Androids were activated," Page said during a webcast of the earnings call posted to Google's website. "And today, we're announcing over 11 billion downloads from Android markets."
In the Q&A, Page said Google is in the early stages of monetization for a number of the company's new products, and Android happens to be one of those. "We've seen a lot of potential for us to make money on Android, and I think you'll see us increase that a lot over time," he said, declining to offer further details.
Page reiterated the company's intention to keep Motorola Mobility at arm's length once Google's offer to acquire that business is approved.
"We've been very clear that Motorola's obviously going to remain a licensee of Android, and Android will remain open, and when we announced the deal, we really said our strategy is working with different manufacturers on lead devices is going to continue."
Shares of Google were trading at $589 this morning, almost 8 percent below Thursday's close.

LAKE PLACID - The ski centers and other winter venues run by the state Olympic Regional Development Authority got off to a strong start this year.
Cold temperatures to begin the season allowed ORDA's downhill ski centers - Whiteface and Gore in the Adirondacks and Belleayre in the Catskills- to get an early start on snowmaking.

"We've been cranking snow," Whiteface General Manger Aaron Kellett told ORDA's Board of Directors recently. "We have a good mix of new, efficient snow guns and fan guns, which has allowed us to make snow on our lower mountain trails and in warmer temperatures pump more water and save more money. We've been able to jump from trail to trail really quick this year, and Mother Nature's been a big help to that."
Kellett said Whiteface's summit chairlift was opened in mid-December, which he said is "pretty much unheard of."
"We're normally scrambling to get a summit trail open for Christmas, and we're well ahead of the game here," he said.
The snowmaking system at Whiteface can pump 6,000 gallons of water per minute, but Kellett said it averages about 5,000 gallons per minute. He's applied for a grant through New York State Electric and Gas that would provide funds to increase the size of the mountain's pumphouse and expand its fleet of efficient snow guns.
"If that goes through, we're hoping to be at about 10,000 gallons (per minute)," Kellett said. "So that's going to be a really significant change to the way we make snow at Whiteface Mountain."
Whiteface opened on Nov. 15, its earliest opening ever. As of Monday, Dec. 30, it had 45 of 88 trails open, or roughly 51 percent of its terrain.
Gore Mountain Ski Resort General Manager Mike Pratt said recent investments in snowmaking equipment at his mountain are paying big dividends.
"We've pushed about 135 million gallons of water so far," he said. "That's just over half of what we'll push in the entire season. It's incredible to have it done this fast."
With the upgrades, Gore can now pump 5,000 gallons of water a minute but averages about 4,000 gallons, Pratt said.
"We thought it was a big deal to get to 2,600 gallons a minute, and now we're closer to 4,000," he said. "That's the modern guns allowing us to hit that mark we've been striving for."
Skiers and snowboarders were able to hit Gore's slopes on Nov. 16, the second-earliest opening in the mountain's history. As of Monday, it had 44 trails, or 64 percent of its terrain, open.
Gore also boasts several facilities improvements this winter, Pratt explained, including a new 150-foot conveyor lift for beginner skiers and riders, a remodeled Mountain Adventure Center in the Northwoods Lodge and a new slopeside deck for the Tannery Pub and Restaurant.
Belleayre Mountain Ski Center opened in late November. This is the second winter ORDA has run the Catskill ski area. The addition of 10 fan guns to the snowmaking system this year have been a major boost, manager Tim Maxwell told the ORDA board.
"It's allowed us to really pump a lot more water," he said. "We're actually running out of water on certain days right now. Between the additional high-efficiency guns, the fan guns and Mother Nature, we've really gotten a jump on this year."
"The changes have been very evident this year," said ORDA board member Joseph Kelly, who lives in Delaware County. "I can't remember when we opened up with as much terrain as we did this year. I think the changes that have been made are becoming quite evident to the skiers. People are happy with what's going on."
ORDA President and CEO Ted Blazer said the authority's vice president, Jeff Byrne, was able to negotiate a deal with its concessionaire, Centerplate, to make $1.3 million in investments to Belleayre.
"With a bit of that money we're renovating the kitchen in the lower lodge and also our rental program," Maxwell said. "We've got 800 new pairs of boots, 400 pairs of brand-new skis, along with 500 others that we already had that we sent up to the ski shop at Whiteface to get completely tuned up. We got 220 new snowboards from Burton. We've got a full-service tuning shop for the first time in a while, which is up and running right now."
The kitchen renovations, including a new walk-in freezer and new countertops, were expected to be ready in time for the holidays, Maxwell said. A 300-foot-long magic carpet lift was also added this season.
As of Dec. 30, Belleayre had 30 of its 50 trails open.
Other venues
The combined bobsled, luge and skeleton track at Mount Van Hoevenburg opened in October and was able to survive 60- to 70-degree temperatures before winter set in due to several new high-pressure pumps installed at the track.
"They worked very well and allowed the U.S. team to train early, ahead of everybody else in the world, and the benchmark of that early training is they won 11 of 21 medals in the (FIBT) World Cup (bobsled and skeleton races) here in Lake Placid (in December)," said Tony Carlino, who manages the Olympic Sports Complex. "We're dominating, and the early opening of the ice has helped the U.S. team."
Carlino also manages the Olympic Jumping Complex, which has installed snowmaking for a biathlon roller loop at the facility that was extended last year. The U.S. Olympic Committee helped subsidize the project, Carlino said.
"The loop is open and ready for our Olympic team to train on until they leave for (next year's Winter Olympics in) Sochi, as well as the 120-meter ski jump for private training for the U.S. ski jumping team. Our 20-, 48- and 90-(meter jumps) are open for training at the jumping complex as well as the tubing chute for our guests in town."
ORDA is applying for a grant to install more efficient lighting for the biathlon loop that should drop the facility's electric bill significantly, Carlino said.

April 2001
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) retinitis, a viral disease affecting the eyes and causing loss of vision, was once a rare disease occurring only among individuals with primary immunodeficiency syndromes or autoimmune disorders, organ transplant recipients and immunosuppressed cancer chemotherapy patients. In people with AIDS, CMV retinitis is by far the most common manifestation, accounting for between 77 and 90% of all CMV end-organ disease. In bone marrow transplant recipients, however, there is a much greater incidence of CMV pneumonitis than retinitis.
From the 1980s to 1996, the incidence of CMV end-organ disease among people with AIDS was estimated to range between 10 and 40%. In the new era of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART), the incidence rate of CMV -- for those who have access to HAART -- is down well-below 5%.
CMV end-organ disease occurs late in the course of AIDS and is associated with extremely low CD4 counts. The average CD4 count in persons with newly diagnosed CMV retinitis is below 30 cells/mm3. The main symptoms of CMV retinitis include "floaters," blurred vision, missing portions of vision and flashing light/sparks. Even subtle changes, such as a minor loss of peripheral vision, can indicate the development of CMV retinitis.
In heavily immunosuppressed individuals with CMV retinitis, lifelong maintenance therapy is recommended in order to the hold lesions at a quiescent state. Recently published USPHS/IDSA guidelines indicate that "discontinuation of [secondary CMV] prophylaxis may be considered in patients with a sustained (e.g., greater than 3-6 month) increase in CD4+ T-lymphocyte count to greater than 100-150 cells/mm3 on HAART."
Roche WV 15376 was the sponsor's registrational study which evenly randomized 160 individuals with CMV retinitis to receive valganciclovir (900mg, orally, twice daily for 3 weeks followed by 900mg daily for 1 week) or IV ganciclovir (5mg/kg twice daily for 3 weeks followed by 5mg/kg daily for 1 week). After the four-week induction phase comparison, all study volunteers received maintenance therapy with open-label valganciclovir (900mg daily). The primary endpoint was CMV retinitis progression within 4 weeks of initiating treatment using fundus photographs. Progression was defined as movement >750 µm (along a >750 µm front) or new retinitis lesions >750 µm diameter. Statistically, the study was not a traditional head-to-head comparison but a non-inferiority study powered to prove that valganciclovir was not 10% worse than IV ganciclovir. Both arms were evenly balanced for baseline demographics and disease status: ~90% were men; ~70% were on HAART; median CD4 cell count was ~23 cells; median HIV RNA copies/mL was ~4,000; 24% had zone 1 retinitis; and 25% had bilateral retinitis.
Of 146 individuals who completed the 4-week induction phase, 7 of 73 (~10%) individuals in the valganciclovir arm progressed compared to 7 of 73 (~10%) in the IV ganciclovir arm (95% CI, -0.097, 0.100). Sixty-four and 63 individuals had no documented photographic progression in the valganciclovir and IV ganciclovir arms, respectively.
The sponsor also carried out a 200 person open-label randomized safety study, Roche WV 15705. No significant differences in adverse events or hematological toxicities were noted between the valganciclovir and IV ganciclovir arms.
The sponsor should be commended for studying valganciclovir against the gold standard IV ganciclovir. Other approved CMV antivirals were merely approved using the quick and easy (some say lazy) immediate vs. deferred trial design. Valganciclovir is the first drug that has been tested against IV ganciclovir for induction since SOCA tested foscarnet vs. IV ganciclovir in 1990.
It has been 12 years since IV ganciclovir was approved by the FDA in 1989. It has taken far too long for industry to bring an orally formulated anti-CMV therapy to market. We needed one years ago. The incidence of AIDS-related CMV retinitis has dramatically declined to less than 5%; nevertheless, valganciclovir will certainly change the clinical management of CMV therapy. With easier administration, adherence to valganciclovir should be better than IV ganciclovir and result in less resistance.
Valganciclovir may hold great promise as prophylaxis for CMV retinitis. Hoffmann-La Roche should continue its positive, collegial relationship with the Adult AIDS Clinical Trials Group (AACTG) and support it in accruing and completing AACTG a3050, "Valganciclovir Pre-emptive [Prophylactic] Therapy for Cytomegalovirus." If international sites in Spain, Australia, or Canada are needed to help with accrual, Hoffmann-La Roche must help in funding these units.
Lastly, Hoffmann-La Roche should cease with its erroneous patient-directed ad campaign warning individuals not to discontinue their CMV maintenance therapy with oral ganciclovir even though they are on HAART and fit the discontinuation guidelines outlined by the USPHS/IDSA.

One of the finest players of his generation, Safet Sušić is now making his mark as Bosnia and Herzegovina national team coach, having guided his side to the top of 2014 FIFA World Cup qualifying Group G unbeaten. As he explained to UEFA.com, however, that feat should come as no surprise.
"Our people love football very much," said the 57-year-old, who took the reins in 2009. "You can't walk around our towns without seeing 100 boys dressed in national team jerseys, usually wearing the names of [Edin] Džeko, [Zvjezdan] Misimović or [Miralem] Pjanić. In our country, there have always been top talents – not a large choice of players, because we are a small country, but there has never been a lack of talent."
Indeed, Sušić was one of those talents, starring for FK Sarajevo and Paris Saint-Germain FC and scoring 21 times in 54 outings for Yugoslavia during an illustrious career. In 2003, he joined the likes of Alfredo Di Stéfano, Bobby Moore and Johan Cruyff in being named his country's Golden Player as part of UEFA's 2004 jubilee celebrations.
Now Sušić is tasked with inspiring and leading a new generation – a team he took to the brink of UEFA EURO 2012 qualification, only to suffer play-off defeat at the hands of Portugal. That was a carbon copy of their 2010 World Cup fate under Miroslav Blažević, an outcome Sušić believes will not be repeated on the road to Brazil 2014.
"The players in my team are extremely intelligent and ambitious," said Sušić. "They want to learn, they want to improve their quality, and from a defeat, especially a big defeat, you can learn a lot more. We are a small country, eager to achieve great results. After [the loss to Portugal], my players realised that only by taking a serious approach can we match those national teams."

Title: From the Ashes
Author: Adrien-Luc Sanders
May Contain Spoilers
From Amazon:
Sociopath. Killer. Deviant. Monster, devoid of morals, incapable of human emotion. The villain known as Spark has been called that and more, and as a super-powered aberrant has masterminded countless crimes to build his father's inhuman empire.
Yet to professor Sean Archer, this fearsome creature is only Tobias Rutherford–antisocial graduate researcher, quiet underachiever, and a fascinating puzzle Sean is determined to solve.
One kiss leads to an entanglement that challenges everything Tobias knows about himself, aberrants, and his own capacity to love. But when his father orders him to assassinate a senator, one misstep unravels a knot of political intrigue that places the fate of humans and aberrants alike in Tobias's hands. As danger mounts and bodies pile deeper, will Tobias succumb to his dark nature and sacrifice Sean–or will he defy his father and rise from the ashes to become a hero in a world of villains?
I love super-hero stories, so when I saw that Entangled Publishing was releasing some super-hero novellas, I was excited to check them out. I loved the first one that I read, Playing with Fire by Tamara Morgan, so I dove into From the Ashes with a great deal of anticipation. I was sucked into the story on the first page, thought there were a few pacing issues in the middle, and enjoyed the ending, so this is another successful read.
Tobias is an aberrant. He can control electrical currents, and his father, a sociopath, has nurtured his talents and used him in a weapon in his war against humans. Tobias, as his alter-ego Spark, has done some terrible things. He has wiped out an entire city for his father's ambitious dream of ruling the world, and now he longs for a quieter, less destructive life. A student at UC Berkley, he is researching the DNA sequence that manifests in aberrants. If the US government learns how to destroy the genome that makes super-humans like him, they will be able to control, and ultimately, wipe them out. When he is ordered by his father to assassinate a Senator, Tobias has serious soul searching to do. Does he have to be evil just because he is an aberrant?
I haven't read a M/M romance in a while, so this was a nice switch up to my normal reading habits. Tobias makes the mistake of getting to know Sean, one of his professors, a little better than is wise. Struggling with his feelings of helpless against his father's domineering control, Tobias is looking for a fling. He'll have some fun with Sean, and then put the night behind him. Their relationship can't go anywhere; Tobias is a monster, and Sean is a normal, quiet human. Tobias doesn't think he is capable of love, and he certainly doesn't believe that he is deserving of it, so he has never made lasting, meaningful attachments. His other relationships were at his whim, and he never felt emotionally invested in any of them.
I think I liked Tobias so much because he was so damaged. He didn't think he was capable of feelings, but he had a cat that he obviously doted on. My belief is that if you can love an animal, there is no reason why you can't take the plunge and love something as complicated as a human. Tobias' problem was that his exposure to love and tenderness ended abruptly when he was a child, after his mother was killed. Suddenly under his father's control, he was groomed to be his father's right hand man in his desire to conquer and subdue the human race. While Tobias was able to put on a good front, he wasn't actually as committed to his father's goals as he pretended. He was more than content to be a graduate research student, but the threat of the aberrants becoming subjugated to normal humans propels him down a path he doesn't want to take. His confusing relationship with Sean only manages to complicate matters, because he is afraid his father will kill Sean if he doesn't tow the line.
The pacing felt a little off in the middle of the book, but otherwise this is a satisfying read, with an action-packed ending that hints at more adventures. I liked the characters, even Tobias, who considered himself irredeemable. The world-building seemed a bit light, but I'm hoping for more in the next installment of The Fires of Redemption series. If you enjoy super-heroes (or villains, as the case may be), and angst, this is a great, short read.

Modeling of Electric Potentials in Human Thorax
This project investigates various electrical measurements in the body. Three-dimensional models of the human thorax are generated from magnetic resonance images. These images are segmented and all tissues are assigned a corresponding electrical resistivity. Current paths through the body may then be studied by placing electrodes in the thorax model and solving the resulting forward problem. This group's finite difference models consist of 3.8 million elements. Applications include design of implantable pacemakers and defibrillator electrode systems, impedance cardiography, body fluid and fat measurement, and electrical impedance tomography.

THREE teenage boys caught red-handed by police inside a South Dubbo house are facing up to 14 years behind bars on charges of aggravated break and enter in company.
The boys, aged 16 and 14, were arrested after police cars swooped on a Macquarie Street address at 11.30am on Thursday.
The swift police response was initiated when a concerned neighbour telephoned Dubbo Police Station.
Police said the neighbour provided excellent information to the supervising sergeant.
The boys were held in custody at the Orana Juvenile Justice Centre and appeared in handcuffs before Magistrate Andrew Eckhold in Dubbo Children's Court yesterday.
Two 16-year-olds were refused bail.
The 14-year-old was granted strict conditional bail.
Magistrate Eckhold described aggravated break and enter in company as one of the more serious offences on the criminal calendar.
Police said the trio gained entry to the house after the smashing of a window allowed the rear door to be opened.
The first 16-year-old to front court was a tall Aboriginal boy dressed in track pants, T-shirt and joggers.
Legal Aid said a guilty plea was likely to be entered to the aggravated break and enter in company offence.
The boy was facing three other charges, dating from January 10 and 20.
He pleaded guilty to entering inclosed lands without lawful excuse.
Legal Aid said representations would be made to police about a charge of entering a building with intent to commit an indictable offence.
A firm not guilty plea was entered to a charge of being carried in a stolen car at Kelso.
"He says he did not do it,'' Legal Aid told the court.
"He relies on a parole condition preventing him from leaving Dubbo.''
Charges were adjourned to March 18.
Legal Aid said the boy was intelligent and literate.
"He came to Dubbo to get out of trouble but admits he has been hanging around with idiots,'' the solicitor said.
"He has been living with his grandparents at Dubbo and is under direct family supervision. If granted bail he would be prepared to abide to a strict curfew, police reporting conditions, house arrest and an order prohibiting association with co-offenders.''
Magistrate Eckhold said the strength of the prosecution case was overwhelming.
"You may have potential to do other things,'' he said.
"This is heartbreaking to see. "Bail is refused. It is sad for me to have to do this.''
The next 16-year-old before the court was a slightly built fair-skinned boy with blonde hair.
No plea was entered to the aggravated break and enter in company charge.
The boy pleaded not guilty to a charge of taking and driving a conveyance on January 8.
The court heard he was awaiting sentence on eight charges of break and enter and single charges of graffiti, damaging property and entering inclosed lands without consent.
The boy was in breach of bonds imposed for 10 charges of entering a vehicle without consent, six charges of larceny and single charges of entering inclosed lands without consent and possessing house breaking implements.
Police opposed bail, citing the boy's criminal past and a negative Juvenile Justice report.
The court heard the boy had shown "absolute disregard for his actions".
Legal Aid said the boy had been using cannabis heavily.
"He was using the drug at the time of his arrest,'' Legal Aid said.
"The court is unlikely to grant bail but the boy would comply with a curfew, remain under house arrest and seek a position at a drug rehabilitation facility.''
Magistrate Eckhold said the boy continued to display negative behaviour in the community and at school.
He refused bail and ordered a previous bail surety to be forfeited.
Charges of break and enter and take and drive conveyance were adjourned to March 4. Other charges were adjourned to March 8.
The aggravated break and enter in company was adjourned to March 18.
The 14-year-old was the last to appear in court.
Legal Aid argued the Aboriginal boy was "a different category of offender''.
"He does not have as extensive a criminal history as the co-offenders,'' the Legal Aid solicitor said.
"Strict conditional bail could be granted."
The court heard the 14-year-old was on supervised bonds and had prior breaches of bail.
Police objected to bail.
Legal Aid said it was in the boy's best interest to be isolated from co-offenders being held in detention.
"He could live with his mother, report to police and abide by a non-association order.''
Magistrate Eckhold allowed bail with strict conditions.
The 14-year-old must be of good behaviour, attend school, comply with a 7pm to 6am curfew and not consume alcohol or drugs.
Magistrate Eckhold said a $500 bail surety would be required.
"Someone must take responsibility for this young person,'' he said.
The magistrate imposed a curfew conduct enforcement direction requiring the boy to present to the front door of his house for police compliance checks once on any evening between 7pm and 6am.
"The boy may not realise the seriousness of the offence," Magistrate Eckhold said.
"He is in real jeopardy of going into detention for a lengthy period."
The 14-year-old will reappear in court on March 18.
Three separate forensic procedure applications were put before the court seeking permission for police to photograph injuries on the hands of each boy.
The application also sought three buccal (cheek cell) swabs for DNA comparison.
Interim orders were granted for the photographs.
Magistrate Eckhold said the admissibility of the photographs could be argued at a later date when argument would also be put forward about the DNA request.
The forensic procedure applications were adjourned to February 4.

Car vs train across the United States
Once upon a time, back in the late Twenties and early Thirties, before television and track days were invented, European car enthusiast types had to be a little more creative when it came to vehicle-based tomfoolery. A popular little game was to pit car against the quotidian long-distance travel option of choice of the day: the locomotive. They used to race trains, in other words.
Only decent distances would do, and one of the popular challenges was to attempt to beat the Calais-Méditerranée Express from the French Riviera to Calais - known less formally as Le Train Bleu because of its distinctive dark blue sleeping carriages.

Charlie Ortega Named Assistant Golf Coach At UC Santa Barbara
Charlie Ortega, the General Manager and Director of Golf at Santa Barbara's Sandpiper Golf Course, was named assistant golf coach at UC Santa Barbara.
"Charlie Ortega brings a great deal of talent and experience to the Gaucho program," said Lass. "He is a well established golf professional and we will all benefit from having him on the staff."
Ortega is a former UCSB player, having been a member of the Gauchos from 1975 through 1977. He played professional golf for three years following his experience at UCSB. In 1979 Ortega became a golf professional, beginning as an apprentice and ultimately becoming an official member of the PGA in 1984. He spent time at a number of facilities around the country until he worked his way up to the position of General Manager and Director of Golf at high-end daily fee, resort and private courses.
Prior to taking his current position at Sandpiper, Ortega was at Pumpkin Ridge Golf Course in Portland, Oregon. While at Pumpkin Ridge, he was able to help land a pair of prestigious tournaments, the Ladies United States Open and the United States Golf Association Amateur Championship.
"I am really excited about the opportunity to work with Steve Lass," said Ortega. "This is an outstanding opportunity for me and I very much look forward to it."
A native of Oceanside, Ortega and his wife, Sherry, reside in Santa Barbara with their daughter Chelsea (7) and son Cole (5).

So, for not too much work, we get a way to not break method chaining, don't have to use eval {} to catch broken code, don't need exceptions, and it can fit into what we're already doing with all of our other objects.
Would you mind going into a little more detail as to why method chaining without exceptions should be done? Most likely, you will still
Personally, I haven't ever seen the need for chaining methods like that. This may be because I haven't set my classes up in such a way as to provide for it, but wouldn't that be a more Perlish way of doing things? As Larry is quoted in the Cookbook, "The trick is to use Perl's strengths rather than its weaknesses." It sounds like you're trying to get another language's strength - method chaining - and shoehorning it into Perl without the infrastructure that goes along with it.
I'm just worried that this will be a maintenance nightmare. I would hate to come along as a consultant and be handed this stuff that uses chaining out the wazoo and tries to get cute with an AUTOLOADed everything object that overrides undef or falsehood and ...
See what I mean?
Being right, does not endow the right to be rude; politeness costs nothing.

Oh my god.
s. All of them.
While that is quite a stretch, the Rats O is looking good. Actually better than ours right now. Couple that with their D and they could easily win this division.
I'm not too concerned with the Rattards so long as the Steelers take care of their business.
That business includes winning out at home AND in the division. That is not unrealistic. The remaining home schedule is as follows:
Nov 09 INDIANAPOLIS
Nov 16 SAN DIEGO
Nov 20 CINCINNATI
Dec 07 DALLAS
Dec 28 CLEVELAND
And the remaining road game against the division is:
Dec 14 BALTIMORE
If the Steelers win all of these games (there is no reason to believe the Steelers couldn't based on the way most of them are playing), that would put them at 11 wins.
Kids, 11 wins takes the division outright. Looking at the remaining Rattards sked, they would have to go 6-2 just to play the Steelers even to 11 wins. I don't care how good the 'Tards look, if the Steelers are one of the losses, THE 'TARDS WOULD HAVE TO WIN OUT JUST TO WIN THE DIVISION. Sorry, but they aren't beating the Giants on the road in two weeks the way the defending champs are playing now.
That's why I think the Steelers goal is to win out at home and win the road game against the Rattards. The remaining road games with the Deadskins, Pats* and Titans would all be window dressing to win ANY of them if they can follow the above script to win the rest of the home sked and the Rattards game OTR.
Steelers...On The STAIRWAY TO SEVEN!!!
ASIAN... thanks, brotha!
The sick thing is with this team, I can easily see us losing every single one of those "home" games. Obviously we won't but it is possible. None of those home games are gimmes.Originally Posted by buckeyehoppy
DOOM and FREAKIN' GLOOM! Get over last week, we made some mistakes and gave the game away. The fact is that we've been in both games that we've lost. We can play with anybody and we're going to get better. The Ratbirds beat the Clowns and gave up 20+ points in doing so. They're not dominate and they aren't going to win this division. Now, suck it up and get ready to play the 'Skins tomorrow night and quit giving off bad vibes - you're harshing my mellow man! That's all I've got to say about that!
Let's GO STEELERS!!!!!

Voting is now closed in my poll on what we call the people who use our libraries. Thank you to everyone who voted and participated in the discussion here and on Twitter.
Image credit: University Communications
The results can be seen in the chart below. I have to say I'm not surprised that User came out top with 34%, it was always in the top two as the votes came in. From the comments I'd heard on Twitter I think people prefer it because it can be applied to everyone, no matter what type of library they are using or for what purpose. The idea that different sectors used, or preferred, different terms came up a lot in the discussion. A couple of academic librarians felt member was more appropriate to public libraries because it implies that people have to join to use the library's services. My argument against this and for the use of the term member in academic libraries too is that membership of the university library may be automatic but it is membership nonetheless and a status that is required in order to use the services provided.
I am surprised that Reader came in second and actually was leading for most of the time. I always thought Reader was a peculiar term. I'd never come across it before I started work in Oxford and assumed it was a legacy from the way back when. I'd be interested to hear in the comments whether anyone outside Oxbridge users this term.
Two additional terms that were suggested by those voting 'Other' were Borrower and Visitor. I have problems with each of them but for different reasons. Borrower to me feels outdated and implies that those people are only using one aspect of a library's service. Visitor seems to be the opposite of Member; it suggests a lack of ownership or belonging and I think it puts distance between that person and the library.

Jacob Nodarse admitted he pursued an insanity defense in hope of avoiding prison after he fatally shot three members of a Darien family, but said he would have agreed to lethal injection.
"I would have taken the needle immediately if they had offered it to me," the 26-year-old said Tuesday, his third and final day of testifying in the murder trial of co-defendant Johnny Borizov.
Nodarse said his attorney told him he might be able to raise an insanity defense based on the results of a psychological assessment after the March 2010 slayings of Jeffrey and Lori Kramer and their 20-year-old son, Michael, who was once a close friend of the shooter.
He testified he was "a little disappointed" when he was not found insane at the time of the killings.
"I'd rather be in a hospital than a prison," Nodarse said. "I think anyone would be."
Nodarse said he later had a change of heart about the death penalty and was relieved when it was taken off the table. "If they would have given it to me right away, I would have taken it," he said.
Nodarse, who claims Borizov conned him into the slayings, pleaded guilty but mentally ill to one count of murder in 2011. In exchange for his testimony and plea, prosecutors agreed to seek between 45 years and life in prison when Nodarse would have faced mandatory life if convicted of killing two or more people. He has not yet been sentenced.
The death penalty was abolished in Illinois in 2011 but existed under moratorium when Borizov and Nodarse were first charged. In 2010, prosecutors opted not to seek the ultimate punishment for either man after reviewing evidence and consulting with the Kramer family.
"I still believe I'm going to get life anyway," Nodarse told jurors.
The plea agreement was the subject of extensive cross-examination by the defense, which has sought to highlight Nodarse's history of mental illness and attack his credibility as a witness.
The defense also elicited testimony that Nodarse had refused his prescribed medication as recently as Monday.
Nodarse testified he never discussed the murder plot with anyone other than Borizov.
But jurors heard from a friend who said Nodarse did talk about Borizov, describing him as a "big shot" with "connections to organized crime" and "a lot of influence."
The friend, Vincent Schmitz of Willowbrook, said Nodarse once arranged a meeting because Borizov was looking for someone with computer skills. Schmitz said Borizov asked whether he could hack into people's computers and set up electronic wiretapping.
"He (Borizov) said he had other people working for him and he could use a guy like me in his crew," Schmitz, 23, testified, adding he never followed up on the offer.
"I didn't want to be involved with Johnny Borizov," he said.
Testimony resumes Wednesday.

The Northern Illinois University ROTC program sent nine cadets to Macomb, where Western Illinois University's ROTC program hosted an event to earn a foreign military badge.
The German Armed Forces Proficiency Badge is a decoration awarded to German soldiers who meet the rigorous physical standards set forth by the Bundeswehr. The award also can be earned by non-German soldiers. There are very few opportunities for U.S. soldiers to earn a foreign award, making this event especially attractive to NIU's ROTC cadets.
The most challenging part of earning the award is that a German officer or non-commissioned officer must preside over the event. Sgt. Major Matthias Lueck from the German Liaison Office at Fort Leavenworth, Kan., presided over the WIU event.
A candidate may choose from a menu of events focusing on his or her strengths, but must meet the standards in all attempted events in order to earn the badge.
Choices include track and field events such as the long jump, high jump, shotput and 3,000-meter run. All candidates are tested on pistol marksmanship and swimming. The final event is a march with a pack of at least 33 pounds on a 7.5-mile course, which must be completed within two hours.
All nine of the NIU cadets earned the badge and will wear the decoration proudly for the rest of their military careers.
Earning the badge were seniors Taylor Hartsough, Thomas Kneifel and Rafeal Salgado; juniors Kevin Ernster and Jeff Lobue; sophomores Justin Andrzejewski, Steven Ndisabiye and Sean Johnson; and freshman Kevin Smith.

The Mount Vernon Fire Department and the Police Department visited children at Rainbow Connection last week. They provided them with tips on how to stay safe in case of a fire.
The children got to climb on and in the fire truck, give Sparky hugs and high fives, and watch a demonstration of the water hose shooting out a huge arc of water over the playground. They also provided the children with coloring books, firemen hats, and stickers.

Since its debut in the 2002 Supercross season, Honda's CRF450R four-stroke race bike has built an impressive reputation for winning races and championships at the highest levels of pro competition. And the notion that racing improves the breed certainly applies here: current racing rules require that motorcycles be closely based on production machines.
By the 1960s, Honda was hitting its stride. After starting out in 1948 as Honda Motor Co. Ltd., producing its first complete motorcycle, the Dream D, in 1949, then starting production of the Super Cub in
1958 and starting American Honda Motor Co., Inc. in 1959, Honda was on a roll and ready to start flexing its engineering muscle.
Over the years, Honda's liquid-cooled fuel-injected 420cc FourTrax® Rancher® ATV series has built a huge number of loyal followers—and for good reason. Whether the day calls for multiple tasks on a job site, chores around the homestead or a ride in the woods just for fun, the Rancher formula really hits a sweet spot by combining hard-working full-size ATV capabilities in a package with manageable dimensions. These are incredibly versatile machines packed full of Honda quality and reliability, and the Rancher's pricing makes each model a real value in today's market.
Done properly, learning to ride an off-road motorcycle is the most fun just about any youngster—and many adults!—will ever experience. So set about this process wisely and with care.
We caught up with Nicky just after the holiday break, and asked him to put something together around the theme of his famous racing number 69. He decided to tell us about his 6 favorite Honda motorcycles, and his 9 favorite race tracks.

The Cross scored the first three goals of the game, all coming in the first 3:22. Central answered three of the next four goals to cut the score to 4-3. Junior Betsy Vendel scored the first goal, and then assisted on the next two to help the Blue Devils within one. Junior Meaghan McCurry scored the next two goals for the Blue Devils, and Holy Cross led 4-3 at 5:27.
The Crusaders scored the final three goals of the half to take a 7-3 lead at the break.
Vendel posted her third assist of the game, on a goal by junior Mackenzy Ryan, to cut the score to 7-4. Holy Cross answered with a pair of goals to build the lead to 9-4 and forced Central to use a timeout.
Senior Ashley Perkoski scored her first goal of the game with 27:07 left to cut the lead to 9-5. McCurry's third goal of the night, five minutes later, cut it to 9-6. She forced a Holy Cross timeout with her fourth goal, at 16:35, making it 9-7, the closest the Blue Devils had been since it was 6-4 in the first half.
Holy Cross scored to make it 10-7, and then McCurry scored her fifth goal to cut it to 10-8 with under five minutes to play.
She ended the night with a game-high five goals. Vendel added a goal and three assists for the Blue Devils. Senior Erin DeLlancey made 10 saves in net for Central.
Prior to the game the Blue Devils honored their six seniors who were playing their final regular season home game on Arute Field. Perkoski, DeLlancey, Meghan Burke, Ashley Mara, Cara Momnie and Chelsea Malloy were honored on the field with their familes prior to the game.
The Blue Devils will take to the road for their two regular season Northeast Conference games of the season. Central plays on the road at Quinnipiac on Friday at 4 p.m., and then travels to Sacred Heart for the season finale on Sunday.
Central is in the hunt for its first-ever NEC Tournament, be sure to stay tuned to CCSUBlueDevils.com over the weekend for the most up-to-date information.

First try firing up the Revo since I put on the new exhaust header with the spring holder. Also put on a new cooling head and it didn't want to start. Saw a little nitro coming out the base of the cooling head so I re-tightened everything and it fired up. Was just driving around when it stopped and the piston wouldn't spin with the easy start. Brought it in and saw the easy start pulled out of the motor. Weird to say the least but reapplied thread loc and finished off my tank. Overall a good day because I fixed every issue and was able to keep going.
Today I attempted to take my revo out for a run, It has been sittin for 6 months or so. First off, it took me 10 minutes to get it to start. Later I found a crack in the exhaust header which was the reason it took so long to prime. Then, after i got it running, it ran for about 5 minutes before it stopped going... Pulled the body off, and noticed the spur gear was stripped. While replacing the spur gear, i noticed the clutch bell was loose, it appears as though i lost an eclip and the bearings were destroyed because of it... Guess that explains the stripped spur gear... Now i have to have a new exhaust header and a new clutch bell and bearings... So, a quick question if i may... The spur gear i have is a 40t the one that was stripped was a 38t. Whats the best spur/clutch bell tooth combo for just bashing... If anyone would be so kind to PM me with the info so i dont hijack the thread... Thank you very much... Its been an eventful non-bashing day... Lol
Sent from my Inspire 4G using Tapatalk
Depends on what you want out of the truck. What clutch bell are you running? 38t spur is a good in between and going to a 40t won't give you a dramatic difference.
The Super Derecho
I dont have a new clutch bell yet, the one that was on it appears to have been a 15t, unless i miss counted...
Sent from my Inspire 4G using Tapatalk
I think im looking for more get-up-n-go vs top speed.
Sent from my Inspire 4G using Tapatalk
I use 40t spur and a 15t clutch bell, and I get great low end power while still reaching about 45mph. All I do is bash, and this is the ratio I have use for the last 5 years. I think it's the perfect bashing combo.
All game. No pain.
thanks... looks like i'll be ordering a 15t clutch bell then... lol
finished the last of gallon number 4 with this motor!
All game. No pain.
Ran over my buddy's Rustler today
O.S.21 Nitro Revo, Stampede 4x4, 2 Axial Honcho's
Installed the ACNC billet skid plates and bumper mounts for the front and rear.
And then upgraded my daugthers Stampede with new suspension components and a Hummer H2 body she wanted.
Drilled out my resonator pipe for more power.
I am here: http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=41.336159,-73.068298
I strapped a go-pro on the wing.
Last night i tore down the back half of my revo to give it a good cleaning... Took it down to the bare chassis and wiped everthing off, even the screws... Didnt realize it was so dirty and greasy... Now i gotta do the front half soon so it matches the back...

Installed a Spektrum DX3S receiver + all the telemetry bits. Although, I think I need to move the mount of the RPM sensor now. :-(

Ran a couple tanks through the 2.5 today.
2.4 tx/rx is working great with good range.
Seems to like the 14/40 gears with the close ratio.
Good top end and smoke but still the snap on the bottom end?
O.S.21 Nitro Revo, Stampede 4x4, 2 Axial Honcho's
Still only looking at the truck sit in the garage. Wish I could run a few tanks. Still pretty cold here and don't have a lot of time between my normal job and overtime, the FD and teaching.
Hopefully all this patience will be for the best! Still wondering how the engine will run after Ray A repinched the sleeve.
The Super Derecho
Well... Got the rest of the parts i needed today to rebuild the slipper clutch and clutch bell.... Took it out for a run today, and it wouldnt move, but the wheels spun when i picked it up... Turns out i had a brain lapse when reassembling the back end of the revo after cleaning it... I put the rear diff in upside down which made the rear wheels turn the opposite direction of the front wheels... Lol... Well its all good now... And runs great once again....

Nice warm day today (50F or 9c) finally got the 3.3 running SWEET.
Now I know why the new revo's come with a 14/40 clutch/spur.

Slayer Pro turned Revo
Another beautiful day here, around 50f again. Took her to the gravel pit with a couple friends (VXL Rustler and an origional T-Maxx) Thrashed almost a liter through her untill one roll too many broke my header. Good thing I have one on order and it will be in Fri.
Lovin the 3.3. 14/40 and short wheelbase.
O.S.21 Nitro Revo, Stampede 4x4, 2 Axial Honcho's
Now I need to figure out how to connect the steering servo since the servo slot is moved forward a little
Wow that thing is clean! Looking good!
I installed sway bars and a the rear wing. Looks better already. Just waiting for my prographix body to ship, which has been on back order everywhere for 1.5 months...

jarod_rodriguez Hope you like the wing, I found it made mine alot more stable in flight.
I cleaned her up after yesterday's thrashing and found a cracked front bumper mount, so true to revo style she gets a #80802 RPM Front Bumper mount, Should be in next weekend.
O.S.21 Nitro Revo, Stampede 4x4, 2 Axial Honcho's
I bought a Losi 810 buggy for my boys, so I broke that in and took the Revo out as well. It is hard to keep up with two nitro vehicles when I am the only one that can get them going. My boys will learn soon how to do it. Anyway, Revo was running ok, and then stopped because the motor is so picky at times. Nothing from the EZ-start, it took a crap on me. So, went to my LHS just for giggles and my buddy said the same thing. He gave me a pullstart since the motor is fully broken in. I will eventually by a bump starter and put the backplate on both vehicles. Now, I just have to take it out tomorrow and see if my pullstart will work
Today I started up my revo for the first time in a year and a half, I slowly backed my way into brushless cars, went 1/16 scale, then 1/18. After boxing up my pulled apart revo I found an e-maxx on craigslist for $150 (brushless) and I have since rebuilt it, and remembered why 1/10 monster trucks are so awesome. Today after finishing up work on the e-maxx and cleaning up my work bench I pulled out the old truck and pointed down the parts needed to an on/off switch, so I plugged in the battery directly to the RX and it fired up. I think I am going to give this nitro motor a run for it's money instead of converting to brushless like I had planned. Feeling optimistic about things
I like turtles.
Have fun cleaning that up...

Put a cage on her
All game. No pain.
Where can I get that carbon fiber chassis
Took her out in the alley behind my house and thrashed a couple tanks through her.
Can't wait till my buddy gets his Savage running again just to have another truck to play with.
3.3, 14/40 and a 5310 short chassis wheelies like crazy lol.
O.S.21 Nitro Revo, Stampede 4x4, 2 Axial Honcho's
So after fighting the ez start AGAIN.....finally some warm weather and run time. Unfortunatley, cut short after two high speed runs, heard something very different. Checked the heat gun temp 315!!!!!! Not sure of the issue as the prior 30 min of run time temp never exceeded 195. Can a pipe not building alot of back pressure affect fuel supply? I know the tank uses exhaust pressure to help fed fuel to the carb but, I am afraid this pipe I was trying cooked the 3.3. I had good smoke the whole time and my carb settings have been rock solid for months now.
After cooling off and restarting.........I'm looking for new motor now!
Warned to not use symbols..........
just dropped in a os 21tm into my revo and also installed the telemetry for my spectrum dx3s
just waiting for my bday wife is going to get me a carbon fiber chassis and so more bling for it
Where did you mount the rpm sensor? Still looking for good mounting positions and pics.
Lipo'd and Nitro'd - J-Rod
i had to modify one of the mounts they supply and by modify i mean cut it in half and only screw it down with one screw also you have to get extended screws like the one the exhuast manifold uses if not it wont grab and you will strip one of your motor mounts i will take pics when i get home for lunch and post them
