BLANK looks usually greet Tara Jeffery and her son Sean when they make one of their many trips to the emergency department.
Sean has a rare kind of epilepsy called Dravet Syndrome and medical staff often have to look up his condition on the internet just to treat him.
Sean has a team of specialists who care for his complex needs at regular appointments and when Ms Jeffery goes to government agencies for help, his condition often does not tick the right boxes.
Such is the plight of the carer of a person with a rare disease.
Ms Jeffery, who had her son at 16, is just 25 and a full-time carer for Sean, and Tiarna, 4.
When Sean was diagnosed she knew no one in the same situation. The nearest person with her son's condition is in Victoria.
Ms Jeffery, of Fennell Bay, was so isolated she started an epilepsy Facebook page, which now has more than 2100members.
Dravet Syndrome is a severe life-threatening form of epilepsy that affects one in 30,000births.
In five years Sean had just 11days that were seizure-free, he's developmentally delayed and needs constant care.
''It's heartbreaking watching your child seize every single night and wondering if this is going to be the one that takes him,'' Ms Jeffery said. ''It's draining, just a constant battle.
''I know somewhere in there he's a little character, but he's just hidden.''
A benefit night to help Ms Jeffery buy a car to transport Sean is to be held at Wangi RSL on March 16.

Crews Respond To Hendricks Avenue Fire
ST. MARYS — More than half a dozen trucks responded to a fire on Hendricks Avenue Monday night.
St. Marys Fire Chief Joey Weaver said the department received a 911 call at 7:08 p.m. Monday reporting a fire at 606 Hendricks Ave. When crews arrived, Weaver said they discovered smoke coming from the attic.
"Upon entrance into the attic, they found some insulation was smoldering from a melted electrical line," Weaver told The Evening Leader. "The fire was extinguished and we called Celina for their insulation vacuum to vacuum the insulation out that had burned. We also called St. Marys Township for assistance due to the oppressive heat."
Temperatures Monday night lingered in the mid to high 80s. Weaver said the heat played a factor in the decision to call for mutual aid.
"No. 1 these guys are in another 70-plus pounds of fire gear, which is not very forgiving," Weaver said. "With the heat and being up in an attic that's 130 to 140 degrees, it takes a big toll on our guys."
Typically firefighters are given one air bottle and then pulled out to rest. Weaver said the practice makes sure everyone is safe at the scene.
"We bring them out for rehab and they don't go back in," Weaver said. "We give them some water, open up their gear and they can take it off and cool down. We take vitals and that sort of thing. And we make sure they are hydrated. That's why we had so many people there."
No one was injured and crews cleared the scene at 8:47 p.m. Weaver estimated the damage to be $1,000.

EDN photo by David Swartz
Linn-Mar, a Class 3A school with seven rated wrestlers on the roster, posted a 5-0 record to place first on the day. Blue Earth Area, which has three rated wrestlers in Minnesota's Class A, finished second with a 4-1 record while Class 2A No. 10 Spirit Lake Park and its four ranked wrestlers placed third with a 3-2 record.
Forest City, the only team without a rated wrestler, went 2-3 to place fourth while ELC placed fifth with a 1-4 record and Bishop Heelan placed sixth.
Ramirez started his day with a 13-5 decision over Blue Earth's Mike Ankeny. He then pinned Bishop Heelan's Jared Ludwig in 37 seconds and Forest City's Nick Hall in 45 seconds and Linn-Mar's Manny Jeffery in 3:19 while receiving a forfeit from Spirit Lake Park to end the day.
Blake Gjerde (145) and Chase Bonner (220) were the only other wrestlers to finish the day with a winning record.
Gjerde went 4-1. He started the day with a 3-1 victory over Blue Earth's Luke Schavey. He then pinned Bishop Heelan's Bo Rus in 1:42 and won a 10-1 major decision over Forest city's Beau Sorenson. His own loss was by fall to Linn-Mar's Joe Northrup in 1:49. Northrup is rated second at that weight in Class 3A.
Gjerde ended the day with an 8-6 decision over Spirit Lake Park's Kenten Murray for his 20th win of the season as he improves to 20-7.
Bonner opened the day with a 5-2 win over Blue Earth's Micah Twedt and then won 6-5 over Bishop Heelan's Omar Marquez. But Forest City's Tyler Putney pinned him in 1:21 and then he lost 7-2 to Linn-Mar's Justin Green before receiving a forfeit from Spirit Lake Park.
ELC only team victory came in a 39-21 victory over Bishop Heelan as the Midgets won six of the eight contested matches. Besides wins by Bonner, Gjerde and Ramirez, Thomas Bortvit (138) won 3-0 over Andrew Puetz, Billy Snyder (152) won a 7-5 decision over Christian Engel and Grant Lausen (160) pinned Alex Watkins in 58 seconds.
Bortvit and Snyder both posted 2-2 records on the day while Lausen and Joel McCoy (106, 113) each went 2-3.
Easton Gifford (106, 113) and Jake Bortvit (170) both posted 1-4 records while Cole Budach (120) was 0-5 and Austin Egeland (138) and Kelly Clabaugh (152) each went 0-1.

STILLWATER, Okla. – In the latest installment of a five-game road stretch, the Tennessee Tech Golden Eagles will travel to Stillwater, Okla. to take on the No. 24 ranked Oklahoma State Cowboys Saturday. The meeting marks the first between the two programs in school history.
Tennessee Tech (6-5, 0-0)
No. 24 Oklahoma State (9-1, 0-0)
Saturday, Dec. 22, 2012 / 12 p.m. CST
Gallagher-Iba Arena – Stillwater, Okla.
The Broadcasts
Television - direcTV (677) - Dish (449)
Radio: Fox Sports Radio, 106.1 The Eagle (Roger Ealey)
Webcast: Live on OKState.tv (okstate.com)
Setting the Stage
Oklahoma State comes into the game with an impressive 9-1 record and is ranked in both national polls at No. 24 in Division I basketball.
The Golden Eagles are coming off a tough road loss in Auburn that saw them struggle to shoot from behind the three-point line, hitting just one-of-18 in the game. The Tigers outshot TTU 40 to 18 at the charity stripe, converting on 30 of those chances.
Tech will look for its first win against a Big 12 program Saturday, having lost all seven meetings against opponents from the conference. While this marks the first time in program history the Golden Eagles will face off against the Cowboys, they have matched up against current and former Big 12 opponents including: Iowa State, Kansas, Kansas State, Nebraska, Texas, and West Virginia.
The Cowboys boast a strong squad led by three players all capable and expected to be selected in the 2013 NBA Draft.
Marcus Smart, a 6-4 freshman guard, has been projected by many experts as a top five pick. He is currently averaging 12.7 points and 6.6 rebounds per contest.
Sophomore forward Le'Bryan Nash and junior guard Markel Brown lead the Pokes in scoring with 15.9 and 14.3 points per game, respectively. Both players are projected to be drafted in the upcoming draft.
OSU owns wins over UC Davis, UT Arlington, Central Arkansas, Missouri State, South Florida, and Portland State. They also have key victories over Tennessee and North Carolina State. The Pokes' lone loss on the season came at Virginia Tech.
The Cowboy defense has been strong all season, limiting opponents to just 56.8 points per game and 35.6 shooting from the floor this year.
The Golden Eagles will look to combat the strong defense of OSU with accurate shooting, a skill they have not struggled with too often this season, shooting over 45 percent this year in 11 games.
Tech boasts a draftable guy as well in the form of senior guard Jud Dillard. An Atlanta, Ga. native, Dillard is averaging 19.0 points and 7.5 rebounds per game. He currently ranks second in the Ohio Valley Conference in scoring. He is shooting an impressive 84.4 percent from the charity stripe this year.
Jeremiah Samarrippas, a junior transfer from Southern Methodist, leads the Golden Eagles with 4.4 assists per contest. He adds 9.6 points per game and also leads the team in steals with 17 on the year. His 20 made three pointers are also tops for Tech. He is one of two TTU players to start all 11 games this season and currently averages 30.5 minutes per game.
Fans can tune in to 106.1 TheEagle to listen to live coverage of Tech's contest against the Cowboys on Saturday. Radio coverage will begin approximately 15 minutes prior to the noon CST tip-off time. Fans can also view the live game feed on OKState.tv, the Oklahoma State Cowboys' live webstream for a pay-per-view price here. The game will also be televised in several local Oklahoma channels as well as direcTV (677) and Dish (449).

Love this image. We have 35 acre site overlooking a marsh and estuary, have permission to build eco house. Desparately want to enjoy living with views and tranquilty and need a bespoke design that fits our landscape. Any ideas? I like log/austrian-norwegian type houses but contemporary and solid. Do you do bespoke? Can you help?

Why is it that when you're just starting a job, you always introduce yourself to the CEO with spinach in your teeth, or rip your pants pocket, or spill toner on your shirt?
My finest hour was when I was starting on the copy desk at a newspaper, trying to make a good impression as a head-down, able worker, and the copy chief gave me a big story. I had my take-out dinner on my desk. As I stared intently at the screen, trying to be the model of a journalist who's so totally engrossed in the task at hand he can't even be bothered to look at his food, I gave my Orangina a vigorous shake, as instructed on the bottle. Forgetting about the cap. Which was off.
The guy sitting next to me said he couldn't believe his eyes: me just shaking this bottle, the bright-yellow fizzy drink flying everywhere. And it took me a second to catch on, too: even as I felt myself getting I drenched I think I was in disbelief at the sheer stupidity of what I was doing, so I kept right on shaking the bottle for another second, soaking my clothes, dinner, and workstation in sugary goodness.
Yeah, I'm awesome.
So I'm on Day 2 as a Kiva Fellow at XacBank, here in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. XacBank is the first microfinance institution Kiva has partnered with in this country, and I have been given specific instructions to make a good first impression as a Kiva representative because Kiva is super-excited about the partnership. And I am, too: I've been pumped to get to Mongolia ever since I heard Kiva would be starting operations here.
In Azerbaijan, where I spent about two months as a Fellow before coming here, each of the MFIs I worked with rents a few rooms and has a few employees in their main office. I got to know the CEOs personally. We all wore sweaters to work most days. The employees were tight, like families.
XacBank (pronounced haas-bank) is like — well, a bank. It's a microfinance bank, but it's definitely a bank. Gleaming marble floors. ATMs. Currency exchange. An HR department. Fatigue-wearing security guards with guns. Suits and ties. A conference room with snazzy rolling chairs.
So, of course, Day 2, I break a mug right in the hallway by the stairs, the most high-traffic part of the office. I'm actually thinking, as I put the mug down on the blatantly-neither-flat-nor-level Hyundai water cooler (see photo): "This sure seems likely to fall, as this is not a flat surface." I'm actually thinking that.
And this is not a new experience. I've been down this road before, either thinking "if I back up any more, I'll put my tail light out on that fire hydrant," or "if I flick this cigarette butt that way, it'll hit that dude's Harley," and then proceeding to do it anyway.
So now I'm picking up broken ceramic shards and apologizing to whoever walks by. And I'm having a lousy day — I'm new to this country, it's freezing cold, there's bad news coming by e-mail from home and I'm too far away to be of help, I feel lonely and jet-lagged — and I'm experiencing wave after wave of let's-call-the-new-guy-'butterfingers' shame.
"In Mongolia," he says, "it's good luck if you break something. We say that if you break a glass, all conflicts will go away. So now, any conflicts people were having with each other on this floor will be solved."
I'm not sure if this is true, or if he was just feeling sorry for me and decided to make something up. It made me feel better, though.

Eberle leads Oilers past Coyotes 3-2 in shootout
The Associated Press
Sam Gagner also scored in the shootout and Teemu Hartikainen had the other goal in regulation for the Oilers, who rallied from a two-goal deficit to close out their five-game homestand 2-3.
Kyle Chipchura and Mikkel Boedker scored for the Coyotes, who had a two-game winning streak snapped. Phoenix goaltender Mike Smith was excellent with 41 saves, but couldn't stop Eberle and Gagner in the shootout.
The Coyotes started the scoring after some prolonged pressure when Chipchura shoveled a shot toward the net that just trickled across the goal line before Oilers starter Nikolai Khabibulin could reach back to glove it.
Edmonton had a couple of opportunities to tie the game up late in the first, both short-handed. Eric Belanger and then Gagner were able to break loose on breakaways, but both were stoned by Smith.
The Oilers came close again five minutes into the second frame as Ryan Jones lifted a rebound over Smith, only to see defenseman Keith Yandle swoop in and glove it out of harm's way.
Phoenix made it 2-0 midway through the second with Nick Schultz serving a double minor for high-sticking. Edmonton had killed off the bulk of the penalty before a Mikkel Boedker shot got past Khabibulin and hit the post, allowing Lombardi to sweep in the rebound.
Edmonton finally got on the board with 3:38 remaining in the second as Nail Yakupov showed some speed hustling for a dump in and send a backhand pass to Eberle who chipped it past Smith.
The Oilers tied the game eight minutes into the third on the power play as Ryan Smyth tipped Justin Schultz's shot and it went straight to Hartikainen at the side of the net for his first of the season.
Edmonton had the best chance in overtime with a power play, but Smith was able to make a dramatic glove save on a hard shot by Gagner.
Khabibulin stopped Boedker and David Rundblad in the shootout and finished with 34 saves.
The Oilers now embark on a nine-game road trip, starting Monday in Chicago, with the Canadian men's curling championships occupying Rexall Place for the next two weeks.
Notes: Edmonton forward Taylor Hall served the first of a two-game suspension for his hit on Minnesota's Cal Clutterbuck on Thursday. ... Jones played his first game of the season since suffering an eye injury during a practice session during the lockout. ... Edmonton D Ryan Whitney was a healthy scratch for the fifth time this season. ... Phoenix was without F Radim Vrbata (lower body) and D Derek Morris (upper body).

"For my birthday, we went to this place that lets you buy a plain white ceramic item and paint it however you like. This plate was the result, featuring a quote from none other than my father. I'm turning sixteen, and I really hope that I'm able to live like that motto suggests. But anyways, it was a lot of fun to paint, so I thought I'd share it with all of you."
Happy Birthday Radha!

Going to game tomorrow. Hopefully this year becomes our 1984 year, the start of something big. The Magic is Back!
4-2 thus far has been a great start to the year. Starting pitching has been stellar, and John Buck the biggest surprise. Let's hope they can stay competitive against tougher competition...fun team to root for and I'm really looking forward to Zach Wheeler joining the rotation sooner rather than later!
Going to game tomorrow. Hopefully this year becomes our 1984 year, the start of something big. The Magic is Back!
i am cautiously optimistic...i think Neese and Harvey are going to give us a good game every time out...
Jonathan Niese now has 22 straight starts where he's logged at least 6 innings. That's currently the longest such streak of its kind.....in other words, the Mets have themselves an ace.
WALKOFF!!!! 2 series wins to start the year....
i am tempering my expectations. last year they really looked like they could have something for a while, before the whole thing went to ****. pretty sure they started the season like 15-10 or something like that including a sweep of the braves to start the year.
Being 4-2 is a helluva lot better than 2-4, but I'm not geting pulled in just yet.
Yesterday's game featured Aaron Laffey pitching to Anthony Recker with Colin Cowgill, Lucas Duda and Mike Baxter in the OF. I have nothing against any of those guy individually, and if you needed to have one of them plugged into your lineup, that's cool - ya can't have a superstar at every position. But to have those guys as 5 of your starting 9 is AAA-esque.
I'm not particularly upset about it - wasn't expecting much this year anyway, but I'm not getting my hopes up until they carry winning baseball into August.
Matt Harvey, best young pitcher in baseball.
Mets have some very good young pitchers. If Santana was healthy, add Wheeler, and this rotation is NASTY! Still has great future potential without Santana.
So far looks like the right call to sell high on Dickey. Then again he hasn't faced the Yankees yet, so he will likely bounce back.
They say Wheeler is better than Harvey. I've only seen Wheeler once in person, and he was NASTY, but Wheeler would have to be so incredibly good for that to be true. Harvey has the attitude and the stuff to back it up. Watching him to slap around the Phillies is so incredibly enjoyable. I don't even feel like he had great control last night. He got into a lot of three ball counts. Still gave up just one run.
The guy is a beast...

Word of the Week: Valley Dove
Editor's Note: The CDT Grass-Mud Horse Lexicon is a glossary of terms created by Chinese netizens and frequently encountered in online political discussions. These are the words of China's online "resistance discourse," used to mock and subvert the official language around censorship and political correctness. The Word of the Week features Lexicon entries old, new and timely.
If you are interested in participating in this project by submitting and/or translating terms, please contact the CDT editors at CDT [at] chinadigitaltimes [dot] net.
谷鸽/古鸽 (gǔ gē): valley dove/ancient dove
Sounds the same as "Google" (谷歌). Like the grass-mud horse, the valley dove is among the pantheon of mythical creatures created to avoid, and ridicule, web censorship. Google China moved its servers from the mainland to Hong Kong in March 2010, following a cyber attack which it traced to the Chinese government.
It seems the valley dove simply could not survive in China:
According to an American Indian legend, this bird has a very important habit, called "don't be evil," translated into Chinese it means "fear River Crabs." When they encountered an environment where there were too many river crabs, they could not survive as well as grass mud horses; instead, they migrated South… According to the statistics of Nasdaq animal research institute, there are about 120 billion valley doves in the world. But it is currently almost extinct in mainland China. The original Chinese valley doves have migrated to the south, Hong Kong, in large numbers.
Many animal lovers went to the Google park in Niaoguan village in Beijing to mourn its leaving.

The research is clear. Children who are curious and explore the world around them fare better at school and relationships, and – ultimately – are more successful in life.
Yet, as children go through life, it's easy for their curiosity to be stunted. A regimented school day, schedules, tests and grades all have a way of limiting a child's natural curiosity.
Of course, we all want our children to be successful in life. So, how can you keep their curiosity alive? First, it's important to help your children discover activities that are meaningful to them. Expose them to as many experiences as possible. Make note of those things that inspire novelty and excitement. Second, select recreation that gives children a sense of competence and accomplishment. We all have a fundamental need to feel competent. When children can complete a task and feel competent, it increases the likelihood they will want to continue learning and exploring in the future. Third, give children some autonomy in their activities. Find activities that allow them to make decisions and choose between alternatives.
At the most basic level, it's important to engage your children in projects that require active learning. With active learning, children learn by doing – they manipulate, move, listen, taste, build, take apart and create. Research shows that active learning promotes much better recall, enjoyment and understanding. Active learning allows children autonomy and provides a sense of accomplishment – the keys to fostering their curiosity.
Summer is an ideal time to engage your children in active learning activities. Now in its fourth year, the Xcelerate summer enrichment program at Waubonsee Community College offers a wide range of active learning opportunities for youth ages 4 to 14.
Some of the most popular Xcelerate offerings include science and technology. In the Science Xplosion camp, children build rockets and roller coasters, collect and examine bugs, conduct experiments and learn how to apply all sorts of scientific principles. Robotics, of course, is also hugely popular. In both LEGO Robotics and LEGO Robot Revenge, kids use special LEGO kits to design and build a variety of robots.
Gaming camps, such as Game Master and Game Master Pro, are always in demand and offer children and young adults a hands-on opportunity to create, play and share their own video games. Adventures in Movie Making says it all. Campers experience the full spectrum of what is required to make a movie from directing, lighting and operating the camera to editing and sharing the final product.
Xcelerate always has something new and different to stimulate your child's curiosity. New options this year include horseback riding, ukulele and first responders camps. If you have preschool-age children (ages 4 to 6), you'll want to take advantage of our camps just for preschoolers. Offered at both the Sugar Grove and Aurora campuses, these camps actively engage children in the concepts behind physics, chemistry, engineering, geology, astronomy and even the arts.
This year, Xcelerate your child's imagination, learn more and register at www.waubonsee.edu/xcelerate.

TL;DR - I'm an ICS fan.
I had heard people were getting better battery life (stock battery, 1500mAh) with ICS, so I wanted to try it out.
My first ICS experience was deck's pre-alphas. My battery went from 12 hours idle (max) to a day and a half. I think the original kernel had wakelock issues that prevented it from properly idling. Anyway, I used this ICS ROM for 5 months even though anything involving location (including Navigation and Maps) would immediately reboot the phone. The extra battery life was well worth it.
Recently I switched to an unoffical CM9 and it blows everything else out of the water. Here's the specs:
Model number: PC36100
Android version: 4.0.4
Baseband version: 2.15.00.11.19
Kernel version: 22.214.171.124-evervolv-acies-ics+drew@master #1
CyanogenMod version: 9.0.0-RC0-supersonic-UNOFFICIAL
Build date: Wed May 30 16:17:49 MST 2012
Build number: cm_supersonic-userdebug 4.0.4 IMM761 eng.jmz.20120530.161735 test-keys
With this ROM, I still get at least 1.5 days idle battery, though in reality, it's closer to 2 days. The kernel also has hardware accelerated graphics, so the Chrome browser finally works. Also, the ROM has been rock solid so far (used it for a few weeks).
All-in-all, I love ICS. The only thing I miss is 4g (WiMax) connectivity. I'm not sure we'll ever get that on the Evo because of binary blob drivers, but you never know - I didn't think we'd get hardware accelerated graphics, either.
When the ICS source was released, I immediately wanted to know if my then-18-month-old phone had good enough hardware to run it. Well, it turns out that if you actually utilize the damn hardware (aka have proper drivers), and you don't have a shit-ton of manufacturer pre-installed crapware, ICS runs like a dream, even on now 2-year-old hardware.
* rant
This REALLY opened my eyes to just how terrible the combination of manufacturer-customized-Android plus shitty drivers can be.
The cynic in me thinks that manufacturers produce sub-par Android experiences in order to lure users into a perpetual 2 year upgrade cycle. To me, it would make a lot more sense to keep your customers happy with proper hardware support than to put out barely "working" phones and call it a day.
The best solution would be for hardware manufacturers to provide a combination of full technical specifications as well as open source drivers for the hardware they make. Individually, hardware specs or open source drivers would be great. Together, they would be fantastic.
Don't even get me started on the ethical issues (energy inefficiencies, tech waste, monetary waste, etc) of the 2 year upgrade cycle.
* end rant
For these reasons, my next phone will be the one with the most open hardware. Thanks to the effort of the custom ROM community, though, I won't need another phone for a long, long time.

In his chat yesterday for ESPN.com, former Blue Jays assistant GM Keith Law discusses how Steve Phillips nearly sent David Wright to the Blue Jays for OF Jose Cruz Jr. at the trade deadline in 2002:
"The offer was made, though; I was there when the call came in. It was the first time I'd heard of Wright, since I wasn't with Toronto in 2001 nor had I followed the draft when Wright was in it. JP's reaction was, 'I'm not trading a major league player for some guy in the Sally League.' And that was pretty much that."
In 2002, Wright was 19 years old, and hitting just .266 with 114 strike outs in 135 games for the Low-A Capital City Bombers.
Meanwhile, in 2002, Cruz had been hitting around .230 with a .300 OBP around the time of the Trade Deadline.
…look, phillips did a terrific job building up the Mets in the late 90s… but, wow, with his back to the wall and his job on the line, he absolutely murdered the roster… thankfully, the Jays and J.P. Ricciardi allowed the Mets to develop wright… man, could you imagine how things might be different today, for better or worse, but certainly different, without wright in the mix…

Private Casinos To Be Voted On In Oregon
SALEM, Ore. (AP) — A proposal to allow private casinos in Oregon has qualified for the November ballot. The Oregon Secretary of State's Office certified the measure on Friday. It would amend the Oregon constitution to allow nontribal casinos with some restrictions, including a statewide vote to approve each one

I don't need to justify this post
It's Alan Rickman.
He was in Brooklyn last night at the John Gabriel Borkman afterparty at BAM. He plays the title character. Of course the reviews are wonderful. What else would they be? Sigh. I think I need to break out my Sense & Sensibility. It's been a while.
Is it July 15th yet?
Snape, obviously, is Prime in Part 2 of the Deathly Hallows.
Hopefully then he'll be more available to the press. Because Alan Rickman as Alan Rickman is… well…
Have you ever watched him host the American Cinematheque Gala for Bruce Willis? I know. Bruce Willis. But The Sixth Sense had just come out. And it was a starry night and Alan was the boss and he was wonderful, so clever, so funny, that voice, the deadpan, and…
Can you hear Julia?
If you love Alan Rickman, and you have never, this is worth your while. Start at 1:40 if you can't stand the Willis clips.

Submission + - Venture capitalists lobby against software patents (feld.com)
ciaran_o_riordan writes: No matter which side the US Supreme Court's Bilski decision pleases, it will be just the beginning of the software patent debate in the USA — the other side will start a legislative battle. The lobbying has already begun with venture capitalist Brad Feld arguing against software patents, mailing a copy of Patent Absurdity to 200 patent policy setters. As Feld puts it, "Specifically, I'm hoping the film will bring you to an understanding of why patents on software are a massive tax on and retardant of innovation in the US." The patent lawyers and big patent holders often tell us that patents are needed to secure investment, so it's interesting to see now that venture capitalists are refuting that. And Brad Feld's not the only vocal one, there's a growing list.

I have heard the Chao song, but I find it musically too repetitive. I also can't play it because of the marijuana thing, and my students love Luis Fonsi so much this song just really caught my attention. I'm glad the Chao song is helpful for you though! It is a good alternative.

Molecular Models of Volatile Organic Compounds
William F. Coleman
This month's Featured Molecules come from the Report from Other Journals column, Nature: Our Atmosphere in the Year of Planet Earth, and the summary found there of the paper by Lelieveld et al. (1, 2) Added to the collection are several volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that are emitted by a variety of plants. The term VOCs is a common one in environmental chemistry, and is interpreted quite broadly, typically referring to any organic molecule with a vapor pressure sufficiently high to allow for part-per-billion levels in the atmosphere. Common VOCs include methane (the most prevalent VOC), benzene and benzene derivatives, chlorinated hydrocarbons, and many others. The source may be natural, as in the case of the plant emissions, or anthropogenic, as in the case of a molecule such as the gasoline additive methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE).The oxidation of isoprene in the atmosphere has been a source of interest for many years. Several primary oxidation products are included in the molecule collection, although a number of isomeric forms are also possible (3).The area of VOCs provides innumerable topics for students research papers and projects at all levels of the curriculum from high-school chemistry through the undergraduate courses in chemistry and environmental science. Along the way students have the opportunity for exposure to fields such as epidemiology and toxicology, that may be new to them, but are of increasing importance in the environmental sciences. The MTBE story is an interesting one for students to discover, as it once again emphasizes the role that unintended consequences play in life. An exploration of the sources, structures, reactivity, health and environmental effects and ultimate fate of various VOCs reinforces in students minds just how interconnected the chemistry of the environment is, a lesson that bears repeating frequently.

A Country Dying on Its Feet
Interest rates went down in Uruguay this year. Last year, at the height of the Tupamaro crisis, you could borrow money at 60 percent. The interest, payable in advance, was immediately deducted from the loan; so that, having borrowed a million pesos, you left the bank with 400,000. And that was good business, with the peso losing half its value against the dollar during the year, and with inflation running at 92 percent.
Now it is a little less frenzied. The Tupamaros—there were about 5,000 of them, mainly townspeople from impoverished middle-class families—have been destroyed. The army—essentially rural, lower-middle-class—is in control and rules by decree. Interest rates have dropped to around 42 percent, with the taxes; and inflation this year has been kept down to 60 percent. "Prices here don't rise every day," the businessman said. "They also rise every night."
Yet until the other day, they tell you in Uruguay, road workers could be seen grilling their lunchtime steaks in the open air; and the Uruguay peso was known as the peso oro, the golden peso. In 1953 there were three pesos to the United States dollar; today there are 975.
My father bought a house in 1953 with a 6 percent loan from the Mortgage Bank. At the end, in 1968, he was still paying 30 pesos a month on his mortgage. [Thirty pesos: twelve cents.] That may be funny to, you. For us it is a tragedy. Our Parliament refused to revalue mortgage repayments—the politicians didn't want to lose votes. So everybody had his house as a gift. But they condemned the future generations.
The law has now been changed. Interest rates, like salaries, are tied to the cost-of-living index; and the Mortgage Bank these days offers depositors 56 percent—7 percent true interest, 49 percent the inflationary "adjustment."
Mr. Palatnik, the advertising man who handles the Mortgage Bank campaign, has also been engaged by the military government to help calm the country down. And, to the disgust and alarm of left and extreme right, Mr. Palatnik doesn't appear to be failing. He hasn't so far made himself or the government absurd. Again and again on television, in the commercial breaks in the Argentine soap operas, after the talk of government plans, hope comes in the form of a challenge: Tenga confianza en el país, y póngale el hombro al Uruguay. Literally: "Have faith in the country, and put your shoulder to Uruguay."
But in Uruguay these days it is hard not to offend. New Dawn, the weekly newspaper of a new right-wing youth group ("Family, Tradition, Property"), published a strong attack on Mr. Palatnik, with a distinctly anti-Semitic cartoon. Mr. Palatnik, who is middleaged, challenged the editor to a duel. He sent his padrinos to the New Dawn office, but the challenge wasn't accepted. The New Dawn group isn't important; but, like many businessmen in Montevideo, Mr. Palatnik now carries a gun.
The precaution is excessive. President Bordaberry and his army are, at the…

BEIJING – China's new premier says his government is committed to strong relations with the U.S. and sees a strong outlook for trade and investment between the sides.
Li Keqiang told reporters at a Sunday news conference that despite their differences, conflict between the world's first and second largest economies is not inevitable. China's new leaders "attach great importance" to relations with the U.S. and will work with Barack Obama's administration to move ties into a new stage, Li said.
Two-way trade hit almost $500 billion last, although disputes linger over Chinese trade practices, opposition to Chinese investment in the U.S. and complaints over alleged Chinese computer hacking.
Li was speaking in his first news conference since being appointed premier last week with primary responsibility for running the Chinese economy.

Ohio man sentenced to 8 years in child-sex sting
- Written by THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
AKRON, Ohio (AP) — An Ohio man who admitted that he used Craigslist to try to arrange a sexual encounter with a child has been sentenced to eight years in prison.
The Akron Beacon Journal (http://bit.ly/1ePDP3R ) reports that 35-year-old Jeffrey Richardson pleaded guilty in court in Akron Monday to charges of illegal use of a minor in nudity-oriented material and attempted conspiracy to kidnapping.
Prosecutors said Richardson posted an ad on the Internet classified ad site that sought to exploit children sexually.
An agent from the Ohio Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force began communicating with Richardson, posing as the father of a 12-year-old girl. Prosecutors said Richardson emailed photos of young children to another undercover agent and offered access to a child in exchange for access to another person's relatives.

Statement of the Troika on the Greek review mission
The European Commission/European Central Bank/International Monetary Fund mission in Athens will take a brief pause from its discussions with the authorities on the programme review. It expects to return to Athens after about a week. During this period some mission experts will remain in Athens to assist the authorities with further technical work, while contacts will continue with the authorities from respective headquarters. The mission has had productive discussions with the authorities since early September and has made good progress during this period. The mission looks forward to continuing those discussions soon in Athens, with the goal of reaching agreement on a set of economic policies that could provide the basis for a successful completion of the review.

Langelle played two years of junior with the Winnipeg Monarchs, and in his final season, was on a Memorial Cup champion. Along with Pete, a couple of other boys reached the NHL, namely Alf Pike and Johnny McCreedy.
Signed as a free agent by the Toronto Maple Leafs in October 1937, Langelle spent two seasons with their minor league affiliate, the Syracuse Stars. Then, he got the call he had dreamed of. The Maple Leafs called up Langelle to play the final two games of the 1938-39 season. On March 18, 1939, Pete played his first game in the NHL, a 2-1 win over the New York Rangers at Maple Leaf Gardens. The next night, Pete was with the Leafs at Madison Square Garden, but on the wrong end of a 6-2 final.
The Leafs finished third that season, and faced the fourth place New York Americans in the first round of the playoffs. Pete centred a line with Pep Kelly and Nick Metz. With a goal and an assist in the two-game, total goal series, Langelle helped Toronto defeat the Americans and moved on to face the Detroit Red Wings in a best of three series. Pete contributed an assist to the cause as Toronto beat Detroit and earned the right to face the Boston Bruins for the Stanley Cup. The rookie's Leafs won four games to one as the Bruins earned Lord Stanley's prized trophy.
Langelle won a full-time spot on the Leafs roster in 1939-40. Again, Toronto finished third, but worked their way into the Stanley Cup final against the New York Rangers. Pete centred a line with Gus Marker and Hank Goldup. Yet again, Toronto was defeated in their quest for the Stanley Cup as the New York Rangers won hockey's biggest prize.
Would 1940-41 be the year for Langelle and the Leafs? Toronto finished second, but were unceremoniously dumped in the playoffs by the Bruins. In one glorious moment, on March 29, 1941, the Bruins and Leafs were tied at one apiece at the end of regulation time. Seventeen minutes in overtime, Pete Langelle emerged with the winning goal. It wouldn't be the last time he'd be a hockey hero.
The whippet-fast Langelle had a lot of fans (especially the young girls) during his three seasons with the Maple Leafs, but there was one particular fan who was well-known to the regulars around Maple Leaf Gardens. John Arnott, the owner of a gas station on Eglinton West just east of Dufferin in Toronto, attended every Leaf game. When the crowd was quiet, usually just before a faceoff, Arnott would yell from the greens, 'COME ONNNNNNNNNNN, PETERRRRRRRRRR!' The crowd would go wild.
After the Stanley Cup win, Langelle joined the Royal Canadian Air Force during World War II. John Arnott missed his favourite player. Then one day, much to the amusement of the fans, during a lull in the action, Arnott hollered, 'C'MONNNNN TEEDERRRRRR!' Arnott adopted Ted 'Teeder' Kennedy as his new favourite.
While stationed in Winnipeg, Langelle played for the Winnipeg RCAF, who competed in senior competition. He saw active duty in 1945. On his return, Pete discovered that there was no longer room for him with the Leafs. They were extremely strong down the centre, boasting Syl Apps, Ted Kennedy and Max Bentley all now Hall of Fame members. Pete was sent to Toronto's AHL affiliate, the Pittsburgh Hornets. He never played another game in the NHL.
The 1942 Stanley Cup hero, Pete Langelle, received the Stanley Cup on Tuesday, July 5 at his Winnipeg home. The retirement village where Langelle now lives is called Rosewood Village and is comprised of several houses with twelve residents per house.
The eighty-seven year old Langelle was so excited, he paced around the perimeter of Rosewood Village anticipating the Cup's arrival. The Stanley Cup was placed on a table in the common area of Dogwood House where Pete lives, with the proud recipient wearing a vintage-looking Toronto Maple Leafs sweater purchased earlier that day for him by the Rosewood staff. There were photocopied pictures of Langelle as a Toronto Maple Leaf, and Pete was pleased to sign them for visitors that day.
The staff poured a beer into the bowl of the Stanley Cup. "Go ahead, Pete. Take a celebration sip." The Cup was tilted and Pete was more than happy to drink from the Cup. "Y'know, it tastes even better when it comes from the Stanley Cup," he laughed, wiping the foam from his lips. The Rosewood Village staff laid out a wonderful array of cakes and served coffee to the visitors.
One other special guest arrived that afternoon. Terri Fordham, a huge Toronto Maple Leafs fan and a hockey player herself, arrived from Ochre River, Manitoba to see the Stanley Cup and the guest of honour -- her grandfather.
Winnipeg has not witnessed a Stanley Cup winner since January 1902, when the Victorias won second of two consecutive championships. But few fans are as rabid about hockey as those in the 'Peg. The trophy was taken to Winnipeg's brand new arena, the MTS Centre home of the American Hockey League's Manitoba Moose and was situated in the concourse of the food court. The Manitoba Sports Hall of Fame had arranged for several Stanley Cup winners to appear with the trophy that now bears their name.
Randy Gilhen, although born in West Germany, is a proud Winnipeger and played with the Jets on two occasions. Randy won the Stanley Cup with the Pittsburgh Penguins in 1991. Chuck Lefley spent most of the 1970-71 season in the American Hockey League, but played one game during the regular season and another in the playoffs and got his name engraved on the Stanley Cup for that season. His contributions were much more substantial in 1972-73 when, still officially a rookie, he won the Cup for a second time. Pete Langelle decided to drop by to support his colleagues as well.
Ab, playing full-time with Montreal in 1958-59, won the Stanley Cup again, then added a third in a row in 1959-60. Montreal was so dominant at the time that they won five Stanley Cups championships in succession between 1956 and 1960. Ab's teammates included an unprecedented number of players who would go on to be honoured by induction into the Hockey Hall of Fame -- Jean Beliveau, Bernard Geoffrion, Doug Harvey, Tom Johnson, Dickie Moore, Bert Olmstead, Jacques Plante, Henri Richard and captain Maurice Richard.
During the summer of 1960, the 6'3" winger was disappointed to be traded to the Chicago Blackhawks. Bob Courcy, Reg Fleming and Cecil Hoekstra were sent to the Hawks with Ab, while Montreal received Bob Bailey, Lorne Ferguson, Terry Gray, Danny Lewicki and Glen Skov. But the new season turned into nothing short of a miracle. Chicago, who hadn't won the Stanley Cup since 1938 and who had missed the playoffs fourteen times during that span, halted the Montreal Canadiens' dynasty. Chicago faced Montreal in the semi-final and sent them packing in six games. Ab had suffered a skin infection and didn't get into the series until Game Five, but quickly made his presence known. Playing on a line with Ken Wharram and Stan Mikita, McDonald picked up a goal and an assist in his playoff return.
The Blackhawks then faced the Detroit Red Wings in the Stanley Cup final. In Game Six, Ab scored at 18:49 of the second period a tally that turned out to be the Stanley Cup-winning goal. Chicago won that game 5-1.
Unbelievably, Ab McDonald had won his fourth consecutive Stanley Cup. And with two different teams!
It was a fortuitous move for Juzda. That season, the Maple Leafs won their third of three Stanley Cup championships in a row, and Juzda's muscle on the blueline played an integral role in the successive victories. Bill wasn't afraid of the rough stuff, and in the semi-final versus Boston, alternating with stalwarts Bill Barilko and Garth Boesch, threw his weight around substantially. Toronto met the Red Wings in the final and were all over them like a stray dog on a soupbone. The Maple Leafs dumped Detroit in four straight games, and Bill Juzda finally had his name on the Stanley Cup.
'The Beast' (also known as the 'Honest Brakeman' because of his off-season job with the Canadian Pacific Railway) won his second Stanley Cup championship in 1951. Facing the Bruins in the semi-final, the series turned into a bloodbath, but Toronto triumphed with four wins against one loss. Curiously, the second game in this series was terminated while still in progress at 11:45 pm because of a Toronto city curfew, resulting in the last tie game (1-1) in NHL playoff history.
More than two hundred fans converged on the MTS Centre to meet 84-year old Bill Juzda, Ab McDonald, Pete Langelle and more recent Cup winners Randy Gilhen and Chuck Lefley. The boys signed autographs and had their pictures taken for an hour. These five boys brought back a flood of memories to Winnipeg hockey fans. After so many years, they were able to see their names inscribed on the Stanley Cup for eternity.
Winnipeg had reason to be very proud.
On Tuesday, come back for another slice of hockey history as the Stanley Cup visits Yorkton, Saskatchewan as the guest of Metro Prystai. We'll give you every detail here on the Stanley Cup Journal.

TypeScript: Microsoft's Replacement For JavaScript 488
mikejuk writes "Everyone seems to have a replacement for JavaScript — Google even has two. Now Microsoft has revealed that Anders Hejlsberg, the father of C# among other languages, has been working on a replacement and it has released a preview of TypeScript. The good news is that it is compatible with JavaScript — you can simply load JavaScript code and run it. JavaScript programs are TypeScript programs. To improve on JavaScript, TypeScript lets you include annotations that allow the compiler to understand what objects and functions support. The annotations are removed by the compiler, making it a zero overhead facility. It also adds a full class construct to make it more like traditional object oriented languages. Not every JavaScript programmer will be pleased about the shift in emphasis, but the way it compiles to a JavaScript constructor is fairly transparent. At this early stage it is difficult to see the development as good. It isn't particularly good for JavaScript developers who already have alternatives, and it isn't good for C# developers who now have confirmation that Ander Hejlsberg is looking elsewhere for his future." Update: 10/01 20:34 GMT by U L : It's also freely available under under the Apache 2.0 license, and there's a language specification available. It looks pretty interesting: it even has ML-style type inference (including e.g. deducing the types of higher order functions).

Gibson City hospital's Robin Rose named Champion
PEORIA — Lt. Governor. Sheila Simon named Robin Rose, the chief operating officer of Gibson Area Hospital & Health Services, the 2014 Rural Illinois Champion. The honor came Wednesday (March 5) at the 25th annual Rural Community Economic Development Conference in Peoria.
Rose is the first woman to win the award, designed to honor those working to make a difference in rural Illinois. This is the third year the award has been extended by Sheila Simon, chairman of the Governor's Rural Affairs Council.
The Lt. Governor said "I am excited to recognize Robin for her hard work and tireless efforts to improve the quality of life in our rural communities. She has gone above and beyond to make sure the residents of her area have access to top-notch health care and services."
Rose joined Gibson Area Hospital & Health Services (GAHHS) as chief nursing officer in 2004 and has been instrumental in the recruitment and employment of physicians for GAHHS and the communities it serves. Under her leadership, GAHHS has increased the number of its rural health clinics to nine, which led to an increase in the number of family practice/OB physicians and orthopedic care.
Illinois residents working to bring about change in rural Illinois communities were considered for the Rural Illinois Champion Award. Themes of service included: economic development and community revitalization, agriculture, education and empowerment, sustainability, public service, community and/or public health.

After axely's endorsement of xfs, I decided to try it out on this machine, with a setup similar to what you see near the end of that post. Root and home were switched to xfs, with an ext2 boot partition and standard swap; the system was built from a server installation and without a desktop manager.
Boot and load times were similar to ext3 with dir_index enabled, but lagged by a second or two. I blame that again on the file system load being shifted to the processor, when (as I understand it) ext3 is less cumbersome.
Either way, xfs was a far cry from standard ext3, and required far less tweaking to set up than ext3 with dir_index, journal writeback and noatime. Just for fun, I used it on an Xubuntu dual boot on a dual 2.8Ghz Xeon machine with an Ultra SCSI setup. It's alarmingly faster than Dapper's default ext3.
So thanks to axely for pointing this out. Cheers, friends!

A lovely story illustrating the value of virtuous living is personified in the tale of Susanna, found in the Apocrypha. While the Apocrypha is not canonical — some parts of it are true, others are not — the Lord taught the Saints, "whoso is enlightened by the spirit shall obtain benefit therefrom" (Doctrine and Covenants 91:5). We learn that there is much that is good in the Apocrypha and it can be discerned as we read under the inspiration of the Holy Ghost.
This is certainly true as we study Susanna, whose narrative is so compelling that it comprises a chapter in my book, "On to Victory: Women Empowered by the Gospel," set for release this spring by Deseret Book.
The wife of Joakim, a widely respected leader of the Jews in ancient Babylon, Susanna was "a woman of great beauty; and she was God-fearing, because her parents were worthy and had instructed their daughter in the Law of Moses" (Jerusalem Bible, Daniel 13:2–3).
While Joakim and Susanna practiced virtue, this was certainly not the case with all the elected leaders with whom Joakim associated. Two of the judges were evil and, "Of such the Lord said, 'Wickedness has come to Babylon through the elders and judges posing as guides to the people' " (Jerusalem Bible, Daniel 13:5–6).
As was the custom of the day, this conclave of Jewish rulers frequently met at Joakim's home. After they left, Susanna would often walk in the garden and sometimes bathe there. These two men noticed Susanna and, unknown to one another, began to secretly observe her "every day as she came to take her walk, (and) gradually began to desire her. They threw reason aside, making no effort to turn their eyes to heaven, and forgetting its demands of virtue" (JB, Daniel 13:8–10).
When the two inadvertently stumbled on one another, they joined into a conspiracy. Shortly thereafter, one hot day, Susanna went to the garden to bathe. Her maids left and closed the garden gate after them. Out came the two men and demanded, "We want to have you, so give in and let us!" They followed their vulgar, lustful demand with a threat: "Refuse, and we will both give evidence that a young man was with you and that was why you sent your maids away" (JB, Daniel 13:19–22).
Susanna's peril was real. The word of a woman would never overrule the testimony of two exalted judges in a court of law. To refuse their advances meant death, to accede meant violating laws of chastity and virtue before God. With a clear understanding of the choice before her, Susanna boldly proclaimed, "'I prefer to fall innocent into your power than to sin in the eyes of the Lord.' Then she cried out as loud as she could." At her calls for help, the evil elders "began shouting too, putting the blame on her" (JB, Daniel 13:23–24).
True to their word, Susanna was charged and, on the basis of their testimony, convicted and sentenced to be stoned to death. At the verdict, Susanna's only recourse was to cry out, "as loud as she could, 'Eternal God, you know all secrets and everything before it happens; you know that they have given false evidence against me. And now have I to die, innocent as I am of everything their malice has invented against me?' " (JB, Daniel 13:42–43).
Although God's purposes will be served and sometimes virtuous acts go unrequited in this life — though not in eternity — on this occasion the Lord heeded her cry. A young man in the crowd, Daniel, the same Daniel of the lion's den fame, was "roused by the holy spirit" and stepped forward to Susanna's defense. He challenged the testimony of the two judges, who for far too long had used their power to seduce and compel women to be immoral.
Daniel separated and interrogated each judge independently. When their testimony conflicted, Daniel charged them, "Your lie recoils on your own head: the angel of God is waiting, with a sword to drive home and split you, and destroy the pair of you." In keeping with the Law of Moses the two judges were the ones put to death and "the life of an innocent woman was spared that day" (JB, Daniel 13:59, 63).
Susanna's commitment to virtue was impeccable. She embodied God's command that we "should not fear man more than God" (Doctrine and Covenants 3:7). She prized chastity and sought God's approval over the approval of the world.
One of Satan's great tools is to encourage individuals to compromise God's law of chastity and virtue, often one small misstep, then another, then another, until the individual inevitably topples off the cliff into a moral abyss. Thankfully, repentance can repair mistakes, but it's better they are not made.
Susanna sets a wonderful standard for those seeking to lead virtuous lives. Examples of virtue exist in the world today and more are greatly needed. Blessings and power from on high will be bestowed on those who hold fast to virtue.

It is an offence to distribute or publish anything from the Justice Ministry's blacklist, but it is not yet clear how the ban will be implemented. The videos include one showing the women's performance in Moscow's Church of Christ the Saviour. A video of this has been viewed on YouTube almost 2.5 million times. Google, which owns YouTube, said after the November ruling it could only decide on whether to block video materials when given copies of court documents listing specific links.

Program Mission
Guided by the Mission of the School of Social Work, the BASW program at San José State University educates generalist social work practitioners, using a liberal arts foundation. The School of Social Work uses a transcultural perspective as a framework from which to address social work practice with individuals, families, and groups; and within organizations and in the context of the broader communities. The goals of the BASW program have been developed to produce a beginning level generalist social work practitioner. The following are the goals of the BASW program:
- To prepare social workers for ethical social work and use of a transcultural perspective with diverse, disenfranchised, oppressed and marginalized populations.
- To prepare social workers for effective generalist practice from a transcultural perspective with individuals across the lifespan, and with families, groups, organizations and communities.
- To prepare social workers for leadership in advocating for positive change and innovation in social work policies, programs and practices to advance social justice and the well being of individuals, families and communities.
- To prepare social workers to engage in critical inquiry in service of the above goals.
You may find more information on the mission, goals and objectives of the BASW program in the current BASW Handbook.

The Record (http://www.troyrecord.com)
Monday, January 28, 2013
TROY - Trees were covered in a light coat of snow in downtown by midday Monday with more snow, sleet and freezing rain expected this evening.
The precipitation is a result of a surge of warm air coming from the Ohio Valley and slowly tracking to the northeast which will take several days to pass through the region, said meteorologist Kevin Lipton with the National Weather Service.
The main surge of precipitation will come through today into this evening, expected to mix with sleet and freezing rain later this afternoon into this evening. The precipitation is not expected to taper off until late in the evening.
"Be prepared and allow extra time for the evening commute," Lipton said.
The sleet and freezing rain are expected to coat the snow in a "light glaze" of ice, Lipton said. Overall, the system is expected to drop between one and three inches of snow and sleet.
Not counting the new snowfall, the region is well below the average snowfall, 32 inches, for this time of year. So far, the official measurements at Albany Intl. Airport have shown snowfall of 18 inches -- below normal, but five inches above last year's accumulation by this time.
The warm air brought by the system is expected to result in temperatures in the 40s and 50s on Wednesday, to be accompanied by rain showers and wind gusts.

Anybody know whats involved in taking care of a slighly loose side to side play in a 1968 v700 swing arm?
Anybody know whats involved in taking care of a slighly loose side to side play in a 1968 v700 swing arm?
There is a big acorn nut on the outside of each side of the swing arm, if you take that off you'll find a pivot pin adjustment that has 2 holes and requires a pin wrench to move. They're usually rusted in place and require a bit of patience and a lot of penetrating oil, they're a fine thread. They should be snugged down evenly and backed off a hair when everything's freed up.
As I recall, the bearings behind them have to be pulled out rather than driven out from the back, which may be a challenge.
If you don't know about this site already, you should go here and all your questions will be answered.
You should also download the workshop manual here if you haven't already.
I have a tool I made for the pivot pin adjustment that I can lend to you, let me know.
John Prusnek
Thanks John, I've been to the site & downloaded the manual just haven't had time to go through it due to work & building the topend on my chief. I thought that there was some adjustmentbut was not sure. This is my first Guzzi so i will be learning about it
Eddie, I'm sorry to tell you that your Guzzi is trashed beyond repair and that I will come a take it off your hands for a minimal price. Let me know when I can come pick it up, thanks.
I've always wanted an early Guzzi, good luck with yours.........
