Nissan 300ZX Vibration Diagnosis Cost
Know what price you should pay to get your vehicle fixed.
What is a vibration diagnosis?
Sometime, in every vehicle, vibrations will be felt inside the cabin. Momentary vibrations after a stop, or vibrating as the vehicle starts is normal, especially in older vehicles. However, if persisting vibrations exist, the vehicle may need service.
What causes vibration?
Whether the driveshaft, engine, transmission, or wheel, vibrations can come from almost anywhere on the vehicle. As components of the vehicle wear with age and mileage, they slowly wear away at each other. Over time, this wear leads to play, or looseness, between components, and when those components are placed under force, vibrations occur. Also, padding materials, meant to reduce vibrations and noise, wear out over time, and when they stop dampening vibrations, the entire vehicle is subject to them.
What are the symptoms related to a vibration?
Some component failures will illuminate the check engine light, and some will not. Constant vibrations originating from poor running conditions in the engine or transmission will generally be accompanied by the check engine light. However, vibrations from the driveshaft, axles, wheel bearings, improper wheel balance, improper wheel alignment, and worn suspension components are not commonly associated with the check engine light, and tend to cause issues only while the vehicle is moving at speed. The vibration can also be joined later by a grinding, howling, or squeaking noise, that changes in pitch with the change in vibrations.
Can I drive without diagnosing a vibration?
Driving with a slight vibration is generally acceptable, however, if the vibration turns to grinding or rattling, the vehicle should be taken out of service until repaired. Vibrations of interior panels do not generally prevent the vehicle from operating in any way.
How often to unwanted vibrations happen?
Even brand new vehicles come back to the dealership with squeaks, rattles, vibrations, noises, electrical issues, and leaks. These items can happen any time on a vehicle, but they tend to occur in the first 25,000 miles, and after 125,000 miles most frequently. The age of a vehicle does influence the amount of vibration issues it may encounter, since most components on the vehicle slowly degrade with time.
How are vibrations diagnosed?
Diagnosing a vibration can prove to be difficult, especially if the vehicle only vibrates under specific conditions, or, worse yet, the vehicle vibrates randomly. These vibrations are typically associated with the engine, and can be identified through connecting an computerized scanning tool, and monitoring the conditions in the engine as the vehicle vibrates. This will give a trained technician an understanding of why the vehicle is vibrating, to which they must apply classroom training and experience to identify the responsible component. If the engine and transmission are functioning properly, the engine and transmission mounts will be inspected, and failure will require replacement. If the vibration only occurs as the vehicle is moving, the technician will conduct a test drive and visual inspection of the vehicle. The suspension and driveline are inspected for worn or broken components, and in some situations, the wheels may be balanced and rotated.
What will be the outcome of a vibration diagnosis?
Engine vibrations can come from a variety of sources, and repairs could range from a few minutes to many hours. Some vehicles are known for vibration issues that can arise from the slightest shift in a motor mount, and some have a reputation for the engine balance shaft failing. Both of these cause a fairly strong vibration, but the solution to one can be replacing the engine, and the solution for another is a small adjustment. In many cases the ignition system, engine and transmission mounts, and vacuum leaks are responsible for the vibrations, and servicing or replacing worn components typically restores the vehicle to proper operation.
RepairPal Recommendations for vibration diagnosis
Using a properly certified technician for diagnostic work can dramatically reduce diagnostics cost. The hourly rate may be higher, but the time spent in diagnostics will generally be much shorter. Also, a diagnosis from an ASE certified technician will be proven, and reached through testing, so they will not waste your hard-earned money replacing parts until the solution is stumbled upon. Lastly, many shops do not charge different diagnostic rates for all types of diagnostics. This results many times in a specific diagnosis being billed as general diagnostics.
What to look out for with vibration diagnosis
Many spark plugs, engine mounts, and transmission mounts have been needlessly changed when a vibration is noticed in the vehicle. We only recommend changing these components if they are diagnosed as faulty, or if changing a component is a specified step required by a diagnostics platform.
Can I diagnose a vibration myself?
Repairing a vibration will vary in difficulty and skill level. Vibrations caused by simple items, such as the idle air control valve or spark plugs, can be handled by most handy people. Technicians are required, however, when a diagnosis cannot be reached, when there is not enough information without professional scanning equipment, or when the repair is outside of the capabilities of the DIYer.

- Reviews
- The Artist
- Rodel Gonzalez is an artist of immense creativity and sensitivity with a keen eye for exposing and teasing out beauty in the commonplace and elegance in the mundane. Born into an renowned artistic family, with a surname synonymous with fine art in the Philippines and beyond - Rodel's grandfather, Felix, father, Rick, uncle, Lex, brother, Rudolf, and cousins, Rino and Roy, have created an extraordinary body of work that can be found in galleries throughout the world - Gonzalez showed natural skill and artistic precociousness from a young age. In the genes. Perhaps. But far more likely, Gonzalez and his brethren benefitted from his family's dedication to the traditional techniques and disciplines fostered by the old masters and espoused by Grandpa Felix. Either way, it is that fans of Disney that most benefitted from the artist's commitment to craft, creative process, artistic integrity, and passion for all things Disney. "I believe a painting is a mirror of the painter's understanding of an insight he has," said Gonzalez. "The Disney paintings each involved such a strong concept that every brushstroke was a joyful anticipation of the finished product. The energy was very strong therefore my intentions were sure and refined. I would say that there was a lot of grace present on every painting."
His story starts with an initiation into the art business through the tutelage of his father and grandfather at the age of nine. Even at an early age, Gonzalez displayed this passion and temerity with every brushstroke on the canvas. With his keen eye for subtle contrast and attention to fine detail, his paintings evoke a new perspective and appreciation for life's moment captured forever on canvas. Whether he is painting people, places, or things, Gonzalez uncovers the unique grace in even the most conventional spaces. "The everyday lives of people and their surroundings are my inspiration," he says. "I love the interplay of light and shadows, and the details in expressions and structures. I find it challenging and rewarding to depict the changing moods of each day."
This early training instilled in him the diligence that would complement his explorations of color, form, and composition perfectly. "Growing up my father would always tells me to not be intimidated by the paint and be 100 percent sure about my intentions on my first stroke at the canvas," Gonzalez recalls. This exploration ignited a lifelong passion for the arts in its many forms, as art became the vessel through which Gonzalez could best express himself. "I wanna paint what I feel and not what I see. Almost all the pieces I've done are really just figment of my imagination," he said during an interview at the Denver Convention Center in November, 2013. "It's when I'm of the easels when I copy the countless sunset and sunrises, or when I'm when I'm at the beach or when I'm with my family. When I'm on the easel, and then be able to recall that experience, what I felt at that moment."
Gonzalez studied at the University of Santo Tomas, majoring in painting, and went on to earn a degree in Interior Design from the Philippines School of Interior Design. This training also helped him to further develop the skills and discipline that have proven to serve him well in future endeavors on his path to artistic freedom, which extended well beyond the canvas. Although Gonzalez was gifted in the visual arts, his skills weren't confined to painting. He was drawn into the world of music, and at the age of 20 founded his band, Side A, with brother Naldy in the Philippines, in which Gonzalez was the lead singer, saxophone player, and prolific songwriter. Currently in the band Second Wind, he is still an active part of the musical community and his founding band continues to be one of the longest-surviving bands in Manila. His success in the music industry fulfilled a part of him, but exposed a desire for a more meaningful and deeper connection with his audience. Thus, he also embarked on a new journey, pursuing a new calling as a minister, teaching and serving others. His talents were manifested as a minister in the service of others.
Even through two different careers and busy with his official duties, Gonzalez still maintained his connection with art by doing commissioned portraits, murals, and sketches for friends and acquaintances. It wasn't until 2002 that he began in earnest his dreams of pursuing a fine art career, as he moved his family to Hawaii and returned to the canvas with a fervent passion for the world of visual arts. He cites the support of his brother Rudolf and his cousin Roy Gonzalez Tabora as guides who inspired him to pursue this vision with new-found energy and dedication.
In December of 2007, after five years of living in the beautiful island of Oahu, Rodel and his family began a new chapter in California. In the years since, he has demonstrated a stunning level of detail and accuracy in his paintings, evoking a fresh, enlivened perspective in viewers and a new appreciation for life's captured moments. When asked about his latest works for the Disney Fine Art portfolio, Gonzalez said, "I believe it we all have Disney in us. Every movie inspires us. I'm drawing a lot on the classics, because those are the movies that I grew up watching. I love doing the Disney Classics…Having the opportunity to create Disney paintings is such a treat because Disney was definitely part of my childhood. I remember watching my first Disney films - Bambi and Snow White - and ever since I've been mesmerized by the succeeding Disney movies I've seen."

Advantages of Laparoscopic Surgery
By Endoscopic Institute on Oct. 5, 2010.
Laparoscopic or "minimal Access Surgery" is a highly specialized technique for performing surgery of abdomen. In the past, this surgical technique was commonly used only for gynaecologic surgery, for diagnostic laparoscopy in cases of infertility and for gall bladder surgery. Over the last 10 years the use of this specialized surgical technique has expanded into intestinal surgery. In traditional "open" surgery the surgeon uses a single incision to enter into the abdomen. Laparoscopic surgery uses several 0.5-1cm incisions. Each incision is called a "port." At each port a tubular instrument known as a trochar and cannulla is inserted. Specialized instruments and a special telescope known as a laparoscope are passed through the port during the procedure. At the beginning of the procedure, the patient's abdomen is inflated with carbon dioxide gas to provide a working and viewing space for the laparoscopic surgeon. The laparoscope transmits images from the abdominal cavity to high-resolution video monitors through a digitally advanced camera system in the operating room. During the operation the surgeon watches detailed images of the abdomen on the high resolution monitor. This system allows the surgeon to perform the same operations as traditional surgery but with smaller multiple incisions.However recently single incision laparoscopic surgery is also evolved.
In certain situations a minimal access surgeon may choose to use a special type of port that is large enough to insert a hand known as Hand Port. When a hand port is used the surgical technique is called "hand assisted laparoscopic surgery". The incision required for the hand port is generally 5.5 cm and hence larger than the other laparoscopic incisions, but is usually smaller than the incision required for traditional surgery.
Advantages of laparoscopic surgery?
Compared to traditional open surgery, patients often experience less pain, an earlier recovery, and less scarring with laparoscopic surgery.
Operations which can be performed using laparoscopic surgery?
Most of the abdominal advanced surgeries can be performed using the laparoscopic technique in experienced hand. These include surgery for gallbladder, dduodenal perforatio, appendicitis, Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, diverticulitis, cancer, rectal prolapse and severe constipation.
In the past there had been concern raised about the safety of laparoscopic surgery for radical cancer operations. But recently several studies involving hundreds of patients have shown that laparoscopic surgery is safe for certain colorectal cancers.
How safe is laparoscopic surgery?
Laparoscopic surgery is as very safe as traditional open surgery. At the beginning of a laparoscopic operation the laparoscope is inserted through a small incision near the umbilicus, Either superior crease or inferior crease of umbilicus. The laparoscopic surgeon initially inspects the abdomen by doing diagnostic laparoscopy to determine whether laparoscopic surgery may be safely performed. If there is a large amount of inflammation or if the surgeon encounters other factors that is risky and prevent a clear view of the structures the surgeon may need to make a larger incision in order to complete the operation safely by converting laparoscopic surgery into open surgery.
Any intestinal or abdominal laparoscopic surgery is associated with certain risks such as complications related anesthesia and bleeding or infectious complications. The risk of any operation is determined in part by the nature of the specific operation and hidden risk factor within the patient itself. An individual's general health and other medical conditions are also factors that affect the risk of any operation. Patient should discuss with your surgeon your individual risk for any operation. World Laparoscopy Hospital, Gurgaon is very reach in this concern because for poor and needy patient surgery is completely free at World Laparoscopy Hospital.

News round-up, 23 January 2009
23 January 2009
Welcome to the third IYA2009 round-up, where we take a whistle-stop tour of news coverage from the world of cyberspace.
Waves from the IYA2009 Opening Ceremony are still being felt, and this report courtesy of the US node contains some interesting information, including mentions of the Galileoscope project and the documentary production BLAST!
The Oklahoma Daily has dedicated a few paragraphs to local news about the Year, pointing out an upcoming series of astronomy lectures at the Sam Noble Oklahoma Museum of Natural History, followed by public observing sessions using telescopes. A similar situation is occurring in Clanfield Observatory, reports the UK's Portsmouth Today site. The author says that the events will coincide with "the first International Year of Astronomy". There's going to be another? Yay!
For those telescope-buffs out there, you may like to read the Popular Mechanics article about the most powerful telescopes today, as well as a sneak-preview of the future of giant observatories.
Inquirer.net published a good article about IYA2009 from a Filipino-perspective, and is noteworthy for containing a section on how light pollution not only disrupts our view of the stars, but also stresses ecological systems.
A Johannesburg site has a feature on the upcoming solar eclipse that will be visible from South Africa. Where to go and how to safely view it are outlined. Note the banner image, which appears to be a photo of a photo. Australia's South Western Times also discusses the eclipse, and suggests using a pinhole camera to observe it.
A short but interesting story was recounted by The Guardian about scientists trying to conduct genetic testing on the remains of Galileo, with the aim of learning more about his poor eyesight, and whether that influenced the observations he made. The article politely mentions IYA2009 at the very very end.
CNW Telbec reports that The Montréal Planetarium will be celebrating IYA2009 in style, by hosting a great number of events. Astronomers will be taking their shows beyond the planetarium doors to local parks, guaranteeing a greater number of people will learn about our Universe. Over 70 events have been planned, including observing sessions, contests, workshops and discussions.
And last but not least, Gerard van Belle's blog on the Cosmic Diary has announced a major development in the world of astronomy: the European Southern Observatory HQ's coffee machine has broken down. Until it's fixed, the world's scientific output will be severely hampered. Let's hope it's repaired double-time!

We know Tony Stark is a man's man, but Paramount execs were thrilled to find out he's got plenty of appeal with ladies based on the female-friendly numbers this weekend during the massive haul for "Iron Man 2."
Much of the $133.6 million came from females, and particularly moms on Mother's Day.
"You can't make a statistic like that up," Paramount distribution executive Dan Harris told IndieWire.com "You would expect such numbers from a film like 'Sex and the City 2.' "
Translation: this wasn't just the male comic book crowd. Some of them actually found dates who wanted to go. And women just went on their own.
"Iron Man 2" has sex appeal that provided a big tent and allowed swooning for stars on screen. And as much as you put it on the likes of Sam Rockwell or Mickey Rourke -- both solid performers in the movie and certainly charming in their own way -- the credit really lies with the impish smile of Robert Downey Jr.
He's believable enough to pull the guys into the likes of "Sherlock Holmes" where he had to bare-knuckle box convincingly. Likewise his Iron Man shows serious heart for the women even if he has a bum ticker. Downey was firing on every one of his charm cylinders in this vehicle and the women are rightfully flocking.

There's an odd little space in Calgary's EPCOR CENTRE for the Performing Arts. It over looks one of the main meeting points in this complex of performance spaces and the administrative offices for many of Calgary's performing arts organizations. It is oddly like a crow's-nest on a tall ship and is called the Ledge Gallery.
This summer, Heather Kai Smith has transformed the space into a working independent zine and print shop. Stop by and request a design, sit for a portrait or help with the zine process.

UBS said early Saturday that CEO Oswald Grübel resigned from the bank and has been replaced in the interim by Sergio Ermotti, a veteran Merrill Lynch executive. Meanwhile, industry speculation regarding the fate of its U.S. operations continues, though UBS says it is not selling any of wealth-management units.
The change in leadership at the top of the Swiss bank comes less than one week after London-based UBS trader Kweku Adoboli was arrested and charged with fraud and false accounting for a $2.3 billion loss. He is now in jail.
"The board regrets Oswald Grübel's decision," said UBS Chairman Kaspar Villiger in a press release. "Oswald Grübel feels that it is his duty to assume responsibility for the recent unauthorized trading incident … During his tenure [since February 2009], he achieved an impressive turnaround and strengthened UBS fundamentally. He steps down having helped make UBS one of the world's best capitalized banks. On behalf of the board of directors, I extend my heartfelt gratitude to him for everything he has done for UBS."
"I would like to thank Sergio Ermotti for taking over the interim leadership of UBS," Villiger added. "With his extensive industry experience and together with the executive leadership team he will continue to implement UBS's strategic alignment."
UBS appointed Ermotti chairman and CEO of UBS Group Europe, Middle East and Africa in April 2011. From 2007 to 2010, he was UniCredit Group's deputy CEO with responsibility for the strategic business areas and banking.
Between 2001 and 2003, he served as co-head of global equity markets and as a member of the executive management committee for Merrill Lynch's Global Markets & Investment Banking. He began his career with Merrill Lynch in 1987.
Ermotti, 51, is a Swiss-certified banking expert, a graduate of the advanced management program at Oxford University and a Swiss citizen.
UBS' board of directors plans to continue an internal and external evaluation process to find a permanent successor as group CEO, according to Saturday morning's press release.
"The board is deeply disappointed by the recent loss arising from unauthorized trading. It will fully support the independent investigation and will ensure that mitigating measures are implemented to prevent such an incident from recurring," the company said in a statement.
UBS says its board recently met to discuss the firm's strategy. "It reconfirmed the group's integrated strategy, with its wealth management, investment bank, asset management and Swiss retail and corporate businesses as essential and complementary pillars of UBS's unique client franchise," it said in the release
In addition, the board asked the group executive board to speed up the implementation of the investment bank's client-centric strategy, UBS says. "This strategy is consistent with the industry's changing capital requirements and will lead to a reduction in complexity," the company explained. "It will also help to ensure that UBS delivers the best-quality risk-adjusted returns for shareholders."
Sale or No Sale?
Speculation within the broker-dealer arena continues regarding the potential sale of UBS' wealth-management operations in the Americas, led by former Merrill executive Bob McCann.
At Raymond James' recent Women's Symposium in St. Petersburg, Fla., for instance, executives said that while they do not know UBS' plans for its U.S. wealth-management operations and cannot comment on such speculation, rivals stand to gain from such a sale.
"Most of the industry consolidation has happened," said CEO Paul Reilly in an interview with AdvisorOne on Friday. "Who knows if some [more] players may get out," he explained. "However, such developments do free up advisors."
"I cannot speak specifically to UBS' plans," Reilly added. "But they have paid and still pay a lot for advisors … and we'd love for them to sell [the U.S. operations], because if they do, we get advisors. Of course, I have no idea of their plans."
For its part, UBS maintains publicly that it is not putting operations up for sale. "We are committed to further expanding our already leading global wealth management franchise," Villiger said in a statement.
Last week, several recruiters told AdvisorOne that the continued negative press is prompting some of UBS' 6,000-plus financial advisors to consider leaving the embattled firm.

Maine Treasures Create Excitement at Thomaston Place Auction Galleries on August 25 & 26
THOMASTON, ME: In spite of perfect Maine weather on August 25 & 26, prospective bidders filled Thomaston Place Auction Galleries' saleroom floor to capacity. They were attracted by the outstanding collections of important Maine artwork, estate jewelry, Russian antiques, Chinese items, and Native American treasures on offer in this sale. They were in for a battle for many of these pieces, as there were also record numbers of registered telephone, absentee and internet bidders.
Thomaston Place Owner and Auctioneer Kaja Veilleux said: "It's wonderful to see such strong interest across so many categories – that's great news for our industry.

The Center for Spinal Cord
Injury Rehabilitation
Recovery from a spinal cord injury (SCI) involves significant challenges and important choices – and where an individual goes for treatment can make all the difference.
At Kessler's spinal cord injury rehabilitation center, patients and their families benefit from the expertise and experience of a team of spinal cord injury rehabilitation specialists. Here, individuals from across the country and around the world find the exceptional care and advanced treatment they need to move forward. Kessler is the only rehabilitation hospital in the New Jersey – and one of only 14 centers nationwide – to be designated by the National Institute on Disability Rehabilitation and Research as a Model System for the treatment and research of spinal cord injuries.
Our Approach
Spinal Cord Injury rehabilitation at Kessler focuses on the delivery of a comprehensive, highly integrated and intensive program of medical, nursing and therapy care to address the complex needs of each patient, including individuals who require the use of a ventilator.
We provide the earliest possible start to rehabilitation and work to optimize the abilities and independence of our patients so that they may return home. This goal-directed approach enables patients to:
- improve physical function and mobility
- develop the skills and strategies to perform daily activities
- utilize adaptive technologies that facilitate activities at home, work and in the community
- overcome the psychological and social problems that often interfere with adjustment to life ahead
Our Patients
- Patient Stories
LeighAnn"...she came to understand that sometimes, for no apparent reason, bad things do happen to good people."
Kevin"...with the help of his doctors, nurses and therapists, he realized life was about what he could do, not what he could not."
Meet More Kessler Patients
Each year, Kessler treats more than 600 persons with spinal cord injuries. Some have experienced a traumatic injury as the result of a motor vehicle accident, fall, act of violence or sport-related injury. For others, spinal cord injury is the result of a tumor, infection, cervical stenosis, surgery or other non-traumatic causes.
Many of our patients have a dual-diagnosis of spinal cord injury and traumatic brain injury. For these individuals we offer a highly specialized program to treat the multiple physical, functional and cognitive challenges they face.
In addition, Kessler's Center of Excellence for Spinal Cord Injury Rehabilitation provides comprehensive care for persons with Guillain-Barre Syndrome, motor neuron diseases and ventilator management needs.
Our Rehabilitation Team
Led by renowned physiatrist, Dr. Steven Kirshblum, Kessler's interdisciplinary team of physical medicine and spinal cord injury rehabilitation experts tailors treatment to the individual's rehabilitation goals. This dedicated team includes:
- Physicians who manage our patients' complex medical needs around the clock
- Rehabilitation nurses who deliver a compassionate, evidence-based care to each patient
- Physical, occupational and speech therapists who involve patients in an intensive and comprehensive treatment program for a minimum of three hours daily
- Psychologists and neuropsychologists who address cognitive, emotional or behavioral issues
- Case managers who carefully coordinate the individual's stay and discharge plans
Treatment, Technology & Research
Kessler, long recognized as a pioneer in spinal cord injury rehabilitation, carefully integrates the advanced treatment, proven therapies and leading-edge technologies support patient recovery. The team also continues to explore new avenues of rehabilitation medicine and engages in promising new research studies. Among the many advances now available to appropriate patients are:
- Body weight supported treadmill training (BSWT) to improve gait performance
- Electrical stimulation to reduce muscle atrophy and improve cardiovascular function
- Technology-based environmental control units to increase functional independence
- Robotic therapies to enhance motor function
- Advanced wheelchair seating, pressure mapping and mobility options
- Pharmacologic interventions for spasticity
Ventilator Management
Kessler's state-of-the-science Ventilator Management Program helps individuals maximize breathing potential and decrease the likelihood of respiratory complications common in patients with higher-level spinal cord injuries. Our ventilator-certified nurses and therapists, along with respiratory therapists, physiatrists and pulmonologists, work together to help wean appropriate patients from mechanical ventilators and tracheostomies. For these individuals, the benefits include improved speech and swallowing, greater independence and comfort, and improved quality of life.
Specialized Services
Kessler's comprehensive program includes a wide range of specialized services, including advanced urology and fertility services, under the direction of Dr. Todd Linsenmeyer. Our nationally recognized Driver Rehabilitation Program helps appropriate spinal cord injury rehabilitation individuals drive an adapted car or van and gain greater personal independence. In addition, we offer vocational counseling, assistive technologies, and advanced wheelchair seating and mobility options.
Support groups and extensive educational programming provide spinal cord injury rehabilitation patients and their families with the opportunity to share information, discuss common problems and learn from the experiences of others.
Continuum of Care
To help patients with spinal cord injury successfully transition to life at home, work, school or the community, Kessler offers an unparalleled continuum of inpatient through outpatient care. Our comprehensive spinal cord injury rehabilitation programs helps patients continue to build strength, gain function and mobility, and maximize independence. Kessler physicians will also continue to monitor the individual's progress and address any changes in condition and rehabilitation needs.
Our Outcomes
Studies show that spinal cord injury patients treated at an acute rehabilitation hospital like Kessler achieve better outcomes than those in other care settings. In fact, on average, Kessler patients have greater improvement during their stay and a higher level of functional independence upon discharge, based on national benchmarks that measure criteria such as locomotion, cognitive ability and activities of daily living.

The Figure Skating Competitions at the Winter Olympics
The figure skating event at the Winter Olympics tends to be one of the most controversial of all the winter sports. The scoring in Olympic figure skating is subjective, so there are always different opinions about how well a skater performs. Combine that with judge bribing scandals and competitors attacking each other and you end up with a ratings bonanza.
Figure skating has been a sport for hundreds of years. It began primarily as a technical sport in which skaters competed against each other to make precise figures in the ice. By the mid-1800s, skaters began adding music, costumes, and spins and pirouettes. The Olympics dropped the compulsory figures by the 1992 Olympics.
There are 9 international judges for each skating event. These provide scores for both technical merit and artistry. To prevent any more judging scandals, a secret and random drawing is held at the beginning of each portion of the event. This drawing tells the computer which 7 of the 9 scores to count. The judges don't know.
Each element (trick) that the skaters perform is worth a certain number of points (the grade of execution or degree of difficulty). The judges give the skater points based on whether they completed each element. They also get an overall technical score that takes into consideration how hard the program was and the difficulty in the way the elements were put together. There is also a score for the artistic presentation of the performance. These scores are added together to determine the winner.
The 2014 Olympics includes five figure skating events: men's singles, women's singles, pairs, ice dancing, and team.
There is a singles figure skating event for both men and women. Each skater must perform two programs. The first program is the short program (2 min 50 sec.). It is the more technical of the two programs because it has a required number of elements that must be included. These elements include footwork, spins, jumps and combinations. The other event is the long program (also called free skate), which is 4 minutes for women and 4 ½ minutes for men. The long program is worth two thirds of the total score and needs to demonstrate artistry and creativity while incorporating enough elements to be competitive on the degree of difficulty.
In the pairs competition, couples (1 male and 1 female) work as a team to perform the two programs. Each pair uses lifts and throws in addition to performing synchronized skating movements, spins and jumps.
Ice dancing
Ice dance has its basis in traditional ballroom dance competition and likewise is subject to the same strict rules as ballroom dance. Dance teams are scored on their rhythm, musicality, precision and the way they interpret the dance. In ice dancing, pairs can only separate for a few seconds at a time and are not allowed any overhead lifts.
Olympic ice dancing is made up of three programs. There is a compulsory dance in which each team dances a prescribed dance pattern to the same music. Then, the couples skate an original dance that must follow a specific dance style, although skaters can create their own patterns and use their own music — the trick is to interpret the traditional style in a creative way, but still follow all the rules of the chosen dance style. The final program is the free program. This is the where the dancers can show off their originality. The long dance program doesn't have to follow any specific dance style or pattern.
In Olympic figure skating, the team events comprise the top national teams, which go blade to blade for the honors. You'll see free and short programs from singles and pairs, plus a short dance and free dance from singles and pairs. A figure skating team can be composed of two figure skaters (one male, one female), one sports pair, and one dance pair.

Lately when cutting shirts I've been lamenting the fact that as when you're cutting shirts you have to deal with just 2 seams and darts to get a proper shape. More and more customers want shirts to fit exactly the way a coat fits - cleanly - and cut very much to the bone. To be honest, most shirt drafts are just not up to the task in that regard. It's supposed to be a rather drapey, loose fitting garment.
Besides, there's only so much space you can take out with a single side seam, and only so much at the back with darts. I'm also starting to make weirder and weirder looking drafts as the years go by it seems, just to eek out a little bit of a better fit here and there.
The other day I had this bodybuilder body type with a chest sitting at 110 and a waist of 92. that's a 18cm drop. Proper usage of diameter and placing of darts gets you a long way - but in the end I turned to actually making a side body in the shirt and combine it with darts, much the same way you would cut a coat.
Funny thing is, I always was under the impression that customers would react unfavourably against the usage of any seams other than the side seam (darts was a thing a few years ago that was frowned upon among some customers). Lately, they just want it to fit, and they're like, look, you're the tailor, and I don't mind having a few extra seams here and there (the sidebody is hidden quite well anyway and to be quite honest makes for an interesting looking garment).
I've even been contemplating making a 2-piece sleeve on the guy's shirt, which I will try next fitting, so again, very much like a coat. The reason is that his biceps is humongous and I am limited in how tall I can make the sleevecap (the sleeve gets tighter the higher the sleevecap is), but not making the sleevecap high enough gives me the creeps because of the fugly draglines that appear.
Is this the coatmaker in me trying to take shirts too far or is this a natural way for a bespoke tailor to deal with changing demands from customers?
To my fellow tailors, have you done this, and what are your thoughts on this?

I am a Jefferson-style independent (see the Nolan Chart) and I work in the field of health care. So nice try on the "Republican" label.
I can be considered an expert on the matter of health care financing, as I am a published health services researcher. So when you start quoting sources like Business Week, I can call "bullsheet" in a New York second. To wit...
Business Week wrote:No matter how you slice it, the Affordable Care Act strengthens medical hospital insurance.
That's a flat-out stupid statement. Managed care is supposed to keep people out of the hospital. Hospitals are where costs hemorrhage and people die from nosocomial infections.
Business Week wrote:From 2010 to 2019, Obamacare trims payments to providers by $196 billion.
Did you not read what I wrote?
CMS Medicare fees to physicians were already too low. The RBRVS conversion factor is lower than what is paid by commercial insurance companies to doctors in their networks. Most doctors accepted the lower CMS payments because it kept the lights on and doors open (a loss leader). Lowering the conversion factor even more creates a situation where fees don't cover their costs. Thus many providers now are choosing not to accept Medicare patients.
Business Week wrote:They agreed to take a cut because they will get so many new patients, thanks to the individual mandate.
That's right, Glenn. Stop taking Medicare patients and see only Commercial patients where you get a higher fee. What's not to like about that? Screw granny. Let her die and we all save money.
Business Week wrote:Another $210 billion will be generated by raising Medicare taxes on the wealthy (that's households earning more than $250,000).
... which they won't get back because Medicare won't cover them. They'll take on richer (Medicare Advantage) benefits. Thanks for nothing, Obama.
Business Week wrote: Another $145 billion comes from phasing out overpayments to Medicare Advantage.
Overpayments to Medicare Advantage is an oxymoron. Commercial insurers do it better/cheaper than Uncle Sam. So Uncle Sam is overpaying them by giving them a risk-adjusted payment* equivalent to what CMS pays in traditional Medicare? Oooo... How damning!! Let's get rid of Medicare and let Commercial Insurers do all of it.
Business Week wrote: More savings come from streamlining administrative costs.
Completely unproven. I've seen the research on things like Electronic Health Records. They generate as much costs as they save.
- Bill
* I worked for the company that designed the software that calculates relative risk scores for Medicare members. CMS uses these models to calculate risk-adjusted payments for Medicare Advantage members. It's designed so that the payment for an "average" Medicare member (relative risk score = 1.0) is the equivalent of what CMS pays for that member in Medicare. Commercial insurers are allowed to play, and they make money by doing it cheaper/better. And that ain't hard to do.

Amy Florence Fischbach, CEE News staff writer, discusses the future of the World Trade Center and the revitalization of Lower Manhattan with Beverly Willis, architect and co-chair of Rebuild Downtown Our Town (R.DOT).
Q. The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey and the Lower Manhattan Development Corp. introduced six initial proposals in July. How did the New Yorkers and the civic groups respond to the renderings?
A. With my background as an architect, I was fascinated by the fact that all the people, regardless of age or income group, recognized that these plans were all very bland and uninspiring.
Q. Did the architecture firm have to incorporate certain elements in each of the six designs?
A. The firm followed the economic program as outlined in the lease. They applied that to all six plans. This accounted for their similarity. The program contributed to making the plans very bland because in a sense, it was trying to jam too much on the site. They were trying to put everything back on the site that was there before and more. They added more office and retail space and were trying to include a memorial park, a museum and cultural facilities.
Q. So they weren't trying to take into account what happened there, but were instead going by the rulebook?
A. Yes. There was no soul in the effort. It was just a rulebook application of a retail mall and almost rectangular high-rise buildings, which were all very tall, uniform and in every way — bland. The interesting thing about it was that the space that was allotted for a memorial wound up looking like it was a park for the office buildings. The financial people who would possibly work in those buildings were saying, "I don't want to work in a building next to a graveyard." It became apparent that there has to be a gradation between the commercial use of the site and the emotions evoked by the memorial because they are just two different things.
Q. What about the plans to extend construction beyond the 16 acres and use more of lower Manhattan?
A. We have been calling from day one for a masterplan for all of lower Manhattan. We feel that you cannot correctly evaluate a development on the World Trade Center site without looking at the surrounding area. Even when the Lower Manhattan Development Corp. began to finalize the plans, they realized that they had to go beyond the site, however, they did not go far enough.
Q. How will the security of the WTC change from what they had before?
A. There seems to be a consensus that no building is going to be taller than about 70 stories. Anything that rises higher than the other office buildings in the area will have a non-occupied tower.
Q. There has been talk about a land swap between the WTC site and the land underneath the JFK and LaGuardia airports. How do you feel about the city gaining control of Ground Zero?
A. The civic groups think it is a brilliant idea. It will enable the city to revitalize lower Manhattan and changes the focus to lower Manhattan as opposed to the World Trade Center site. Getting the Port Authority out of the World Trade Center site and into the airport site will certainly economically serve the best interest of the city of New York.
Q. How has the New York economy and the construction market been affected since September 11?
A. Things are a little slow. It would be nice to get construction underway, but it won't be possible because you still have two years of construction of the PATH train station (a train that connects New York and New Jersey) and the subways. If we can get construction going in Lower Manhattan, we'll see results right away. That's why it's important to try to swap the land. It would be a completely clean slate.
Q. What is the current timeline for the rebuilding of the World Trade Center?
A. I think now they're now talking about 2003 for their final plan. From a professional standpoint, we feel that things are getting back to an orderly procedure.
Q. What's the mood like in New York as the anniversary approaches?
A. It's mixed. Many of the victims' families have said they would prefer not to have an anniversary celebration because it just opens old wounds. Others think it is very appropriate.
Q. Where do you see New York a year from now?
A. If we can get the powers that be to start focusing on revitalizing lower Manhattan, I think we'll be in a much healthier economic and social climate than we are now. If the focus continues to be on the World Trade Center site and nothing is being done to revitalize lower Manhattan, then I think one year from now, we'll be exactly where we are today.

Zip, Compress, Tar, Rar ….. confuse me?
Hard drives continually get cheaper and cheaper, but the rate that people collect information is still filling up hard drive real-estate faster than we can get more storage. One trick to saving space is various compression technologies. Most people when they think about compression now think of either a Zip file or that little check-box on Windows settings to enable compression on a physical drive. What is often overlooked is the ability to compress a single file utilizing a file compression tool for a specific format.
Choosing what is the right way to compress files and save space is based on several things, how often will you access that file again, what ratio of compression are you getting, and what are the long term impacts of the compression. When you use the technologies Zip, Tar, and RAR you are usually combining multiple files together, and don't have plans to access them soon. These compression tools take multiple files and combine them into a single zipped file. This means that access to any one individual file in that zipped file will take additional time and effort to open. With this approach you can combine many various formats. Some formats will have a compression ratio of 0% and others a compression ratio of 60%. Rarely but occasional when a zip is not successful you can result in file corruption. I always suggest checking that you can un-zip a zip after it's created. People who need to access their files regularly, or need to be able to search on their content at any given time can still benefit with compression tools that are specific to a format and can be done one file at a time in batch.
The most common file format that people use for search and retrieval and is generated by Data Capture and OCR is PDF. PDFs get good compression usually in a Zip, Tar, or Rar tool but there are specific things that can be done just for a PDF to compress it even further. PDFs often have a text layer that is search-able, and an image layer for viewing. The bulk of the file size is always the image layer, so a specific image compression can be applied to just this layer, and a separate text compression to the text layer. The result is a PDF that opens just like any other file, but is taking up much less space. The benefit of this is that you can access your PDF at any time, it's still indexed with your search utility, and you are saving space!
Compression is almost always a good choice when considering saving space. Compression technologies have come a long way in the last 4 years. It's good to know what your purpose is in compression and the frequency you want access to your files. Don't be afraid to scout out compression tools for specific file formats and give them a try.

Each month, ASBMB's education and professional development manager, Weiyi Zhao, highlights the work and life of a minority scientist. In observance of Black History Month, on these pages we look back upon what some of the scientists who've participated in the interview series had to say.
Vice chancellor for strategic initiative at Louisiana State University, Boyd professor and Philip W. West professor of analytical and environmental chemistry, Howard Hughes Medical Institute professor In the beginning: "I always tell of my first chemistry experiment at the age of 2 when I tasted kerosene to see why it produced light. From that experience, I learned the first law of chemistry, i.e. do not taste the chemicals." Read the full interview here.
Associate professor at the Skaggs School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences at the University of California, San Diego, member of the ASBMB Minority Affairs Committee In the thick of it: "I have found that biomedical research, particularly in academia, can be isolating and at times fraught with setbacks and disappointment. In spite of these adversities, I think the most important thing that I've learned is to not let speed bumps deter you from your goals and to not be afraid to take detours off a set path if these changes move you closer to a personally satisfying career." Read the full interview here.
Assistant professor of chemistry at Brown University Words of wisdom: "I would advise young people from under-represented backgrounds not to view their gender, race or ethnicity as an impediment. Science is not always a meritocracy. However, in this business, ideas are commodities, and publications are the currency. It is critically important to seek out good mentors, empathetic advisers and a network of supportive peers." Read the full interview here.
Assistant professor in the department of molecular biosciences at Northwestern University Forging a path: "Originally, I thought I wanted to be a child psychiatrist; I had even volunteered at Bellevue Hospital in Manhattan for a summer. When I went off to college, I majored in biochemistry and minored in psychology. Sitting in my psychology classes, I found I was fascinated not only by the discussions of behavior associated with mental disorders but also by our discussions on neurotransmitters. I wanted to know more." Read the full interview here.
Postdoctoral fellow at the Baylor College of Medicine Tips to take to heart: "Don't let science shape you; you shape science. Make sure you ask every 'dumb' question you have, and you will continue to reach your goals. Lastly, be sincere, honest, direct and humble in your efforts. People will appreciate these qualities and your work." Read the full interview here.
Postdoctoral research associate, Purdue University
Navigating a foreign landscape: "If you are from a country that is not highly represented in (the) U.S.A. … or have difficulty speaking English, things can get lonely. Try to be patient. Pay attention to the reactions and signals from the people you interact with. Remember it is not for a day; it can be years before you ever get a chance to travel back or meet someone from you country. You, therefore, need to socialize or make the people around you see your social side." Read the full interview here.
Assistant professor at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine Rolling with the punches: "There are failures along the way, and a key example that many people mention is being turned down for a funding opportunity. I try to give myself time to absorb the initial disappointment before making any further decisions so that I am in a mindset to be able to think realistically and logically about my next steps. Whatever the situation has been, my mentors have played an important role in helping me identify areas where I can improve and work towards achieving a more favorable outcome. Read the full interview here.
Assistant professor at the University of California, San Diego Lasting impact: "As a graduate student and postdoc, I was also able to develop my interest in teaching and outreach. I helped design and implement programs that promoted excellence in science by increasing the participation of members of underrepresented groups in science and research — such as a Saturday Science Academy for high-school students at Caltech. It was incredibly rewarding when, years later, one of these high-school students worked as a teaching assistant in my upper-division molecular biology class at UCSD! Read the full interview here.
Assistant professor at the Medical University of South Carolina On finding a mentor: "As a junior faculty member, it is crucial to still have mentoring. Mentoring does not stop once the postdoctoral fellowship has been completed. In the early years of my independent position, I did not have a committed scientific mentor at my institution, because there was a lack of investigators who had a similar or overlapping research interest. I learned from this experience that, if your needs are not being met at your institution, it is imperative to seek assistance from outside senior faculty with expertise in your field of research. Read the full interview here.
Professor and chairman of the immunology department at Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine What motivates him: "The satisfaction of seeing members of my lab make exciting discoveries, seen for the first time, and sharing that with them keeps me working. The satisfaction of seeing students come in not knowing how to use a pipette and leave brimming with excitement about a future in science makes it all worth it." Read the full interview here.
Assistant professor at Xavier University of Louisiana, member of the ASBMB Minority Affairs Committee Lesson learned: "After my B.S. and before entering graduate school, I worked at the Albemarle Corp. in an R&D unit developing a synthetic product. I quickly learned that my worth as a chemist was primarily determined by meeting the color specifications of the marketing teams and the chemical engineers' existing plant designs. While I enjoyed working with the business teams and engineers, I wanted to experience more freedom in my science." Read the full interview here.
Assistant professor at Xavier University of Louisiana Managing loss, setbacks: "I lost my major collaborator, who was also my husband, very suddenly. We had several projects going both between us and independently. To re-focus my research, I had to reach out to someone I not only respected but trusted scientifically and who could serve as a mentor during that incredible time of transition." Read the full interview here.
Associate professor at Massachusetts Institute of Technology
An early start: "I don't think there was ever any particular moment that caused me to gain interest in science. I was always a tinkerer – the kid who had to set the VCR, program the satellite dish (when we lived beyond the reaches of cable in East Texas!), took apart the sink to retrieve lost jewelry, and fixed the toilet with paper clips. I think a career in science and engineering was inevitable for me!" Read the full interview here.
