Complete Game Notes in PDF Format
Setting the Scene... Sacred Heart heads to New Haven, CT tonight to take on instate rival Yale in non conference action. The Pioneers will look to rebound after being swept by Atlantic Hockey leader RIT, 3-2 and 5-3, over the weekend. Yale is coming off of a Saturday 6-5 overtime win against Brown and a 4-3 loss to UMass Thursday night. The game has an intriguing back story as SHU head coach C.J. Marottolo faces his former squad, where he was an assistant and associate coach for 13 seasons. Sitting on the Bulldogs bench as a member of the Yale staff will be former Pioneer assistant coach Dan Muse.
The Series... Tuesday's game will be the first ever meeting between the Pioneers and Bulldogs. Sacred Heart is 13-36-5 all-time against current ECAC teams. The Pioneers have played four games this season versus ECAC members and compiled a 1-2-1 record with three of those tilts needing overtime.
Road Warriors... Sacred Heart continues a nine game road trip that includes seven games against Atlantic Hockey opponents. The Pioneers are 1-3-1 on this trip that will make two more stops, Dec 4-5 against Army and December 13 in a non conference tilt with Dartmouth. Sacred Heart will have a eight game home stand to start play after the winter break.
Like Father, Like Son... Freshman Kyle Verbeek (Bloomfield, MI), son of former NHL star Pat Verbeek, posted a goal and two assists in the Pioneers weekend series with RIT. Verbeek had a hand in both of the SHU goals Friday night and scored his first collegiate goal in thie third period to knot the game at 2-2. His assist Saturday night in the series finale came on the power play and gave Sacred Heart a 3-2 lead in the final period.
Connecticut Shootout... The Pioneers and Bulldogs are both high scoring teams. SHU is second in Atlantic Hockey scoring 3.27 goals per game, Yale is seventh in the nation at a 3.71 clip.
Third Period Heartbreakers... Sacred Heart and RIT entered the third period of both games last weekend with the score tied. The Pioneers had ample opportunities in both contests to earn a win but could not find a game winning goal. SHU put themselves in a tight spot Friday as RIT put the game away on a five on three power play. Saturday night was especially frustrating for the Pioneers who spent nine minutes total in the final period on the power play without a goal before the Tigers lit the lamp with what would prove to be the final dagger.
Keeping it Close... Six of the Pioneers 11 games in 2009-10 have been decided by one goal or less. Sacred Heart has a 2-2-2 record in these games, 1-1-1 in Atlantic Hockey play. Two additional games could have been decided by one goal if not for an empty netter added to the final tally. The Pioneers have played four overtime games this season with a 1-2-1 mark. SHU finished the 2008-09 campaign with a 3-7-4 record in one goal contests.
Scouting the Bulldogs... Yale enters their tilt with SHU as the 11th ranked team in the country. The Bulldog attack is led by Junior Brock Little who has posted seven goals and four assists for 11 points on the season, ranking him first in the nation in goals per game. Ryan Rondeau and Nick Maricic have split time in net for Yale this season with the two goaltenders putting up nearly identical numbers. Rondeau has posted a 2.84 goals against average while Maricic holds a 2.85, both netminders have compiled a 1-1-1 record for the year. The Bulldogs average just under 11 penalty minutes per game making them the 7th least penalized time in Division I.
Save the Puck... Freshmen Kyle Verbeek and Tommy Castonguay (Rimouski, QC) both notched their first collegiate goals this weekend against RIT. Eric Delong (Oakville, MB) and Reid MacLeod (Teulon, MB) have also scored their first career goals this season. Pioneer rookies who are still looking for their first goal include Neil McKenney (Buffalo, NY) as well as defenders Mitchell Stretch (Saskatoon, SK) and Alex Stuart (Sauk Rapids, MN).
Gingera Goes Back-to-Back... Sophomore Matt Gingera (Winnipeg, MB) scored two goals in 55 seconds in the first period Saturday afternoon against RIT. Gingera scored his first goal after a wide shot from Alex Stuart (Sauk Rapids, MN) caromed off the glass in front of the net. Gingera swung his stick at hip level and knocked the puck out of mid air and into the net. The sophomore winger never left the ice and lit the lamp again after taking the puck off of the goaltenders stick and using a back handed wrap around to give SHU an early 2-1 advantage.
Up Next... The Pioneers will enjoy a weekend off before continuing Atlantic Hockey play against Army December 4-5. Sacred Heart then heads to Hanover, NH as they conclude the first half of the season at Dartmouth.

Real Madrid are prepared to sanction a world-record transfer bid of over £300million to beat Manchester United to a deal for Neymar, according to The Sun.
Neymar became the most expensive player in history last summer when he moved from Barcelona to Paris Saint-Germain in a deal worth almost £200m.
The 26-year-old is already being linked with a move away from the French capital, however, after a season in which he clashed with former boss Unai Emery and fellow forward Edinson Cavani.
In 35 games in all competitions – his season was cut short due to a foot injury – Neymar scored 27 goals, helping PSG storm to the Ligue 1 title.
But he is said to be unhappy in Paris and willing to leave this summer if the right opportunity presents itself.
Last month, reports said Manchester United were lining up a world-record move for Neymar, with Jose Mourinho desperate to bring the attacker to Old Trafford.
But Real Madrid have remained the frontrunners to secure a deal and are ready to obliterate the current transfer record to secure his signature.
It is claimed that, as part of Neymar's move to PSG, a stipulation was included in the deal, allowing him to leave for £263m on September 1, the day after the transfer window closes.
If met, Neymar would be unable to represent another club until 2019. But The Sun say Real do not want to wait until January, hoping to sign Neymar this summer in a deal that will cost over £300m.
Just this week, Luka Modric told Neymar that Real Madrid were 'waiting for him' to move to the Bernabeu.

Well it looks like our time here in North Carolina has come to an end. Rocky and I are moving back to New Joisey to begin a new chapter in our lives! We are so excited but of course it will be a bittersweet goodbye. I know cousin Mark will take good care of the homestead but we will miss living on this beautiful property and all our critters and of course my cousins!
The biggest reason we're moving is to be closer to our families. I think Rocky could live anywhere in the world but my heart remains tied to South Jersey where I grew up. I always feel torn between New Jersey and North Carolina but we can always visit down south once or twice a year until we decide what to do with the house.
The challenge now will be can we maintain our "sweet, simple life" up there amidst all the hustle and bustle but I think we can and it'll be worth it because most importantly we'll be closer to our families. Of course, I can't wait to see the beach and all of my favorite spots like Batsto Village, the Wildlife Refuge and Cape May! New Jersey here we come!

Lausanne, Switzerland 21st June 2017. High levels of homocysteine (Hcy), an amino acid and metabolite of the methionine pathway, is a known risk factor for cognitive decline and dementia, including Alzheimer's disease (AD).
Elevated plasma Hcy can be attributed to insufficient intake of food or supplement derived B vitamins, although consuming Hcy-lowering B vitamins (B6, B9, B12) has not been proven to prevent cognitive decline or the progression of Alzheimer's disease. In collaboration with the research group lead by Julius Popp from the CHUV (Centre Hospitalier Universitaire Vaudois), NIHS researchers investigated the interrelated methionine, purine and thymidylate cycles, which constitute the so called 'One-Carbon Metabolism', and play a central role in cellular metabolism and risk of metabolic, cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases, as well as cancer1.
A metabolomic approach was used to target the one-carbon pathway more comprehensively and test the hypothesis that disturbances in this pathway beyond Hcy are relevant to cognitive function and the underlying pathological hallmarks of beta-amyloid and hyperphosphorylated tau proteins in the cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) of older adults. The results of this new study are published in the medical journal Alzheimer's Research & Therapy2.
We know that one-carbon metabolism can govern epigenetic maintenance and a multitude of physiological processes in humans. The researchers analysed CSF and plasma samples collected from 120 older adults with or without cognitive impairment, deploying a new mass spectrometry-based assay that enables them to quantify one-carbon metabolites and their cofactors more comprehensively3.
"Our results show that several one-carbon metabolites beyond Hcy in the periphery are associated with cognitive impairment in older adults, such as methionine, serine, choline and cysteine", explains Loïc Dayon, who is lead author of the article. "We achieved this by leveraging techniques developed in-house to analyse the full range of metabolites in the one-carbon metabolism and provide a comprehensive view of this important pathway. Most research laboratories have only reported on a single or limited number of metabolites in the pathway."
One intriguing finding was that these metabolites appear more critical in individuals carrying the ApoE ε4 allele, a major genetic risk loci for late onset or sporadic Alzheimer's disease.
"This study confirms that disturbances in one-carbon metabolism are relevant to cognition, but in a way not previously thought. Regardless of the metabolite, the entire pathway appears to influence tau metabolism more profoundly than amyloid mechanisms. This could explain why previous homocysteine-lowering trials have been mostly disappointing", adds Gene Bowman, Head of Nutrition and Brain Health at NIHS.
"Once we (or others) confirm these results, then nutritional interventions can be formulated to target these alternative aspects of one-carbon metabolism in the hope of preventing age-related dementia, including Alzheimer's disease."
NIHS is a biomedical research institute, part of Nestlé's global R&D network, dedicated to fundamental research aimed at understanding health and disease and developing science-based, targeted nutritional solutions for the maintenance of health. To achieve its aim, NIHS employs state-of-the-art technologies and biological models to characterise health and disease with a holistic and integrated approach. The ultimate goal of the Institute is to develop knowledge that can empower people to better maintain their health through nutritional approaches, especially in relation to their molecular profile and lifestyle status.

How to Format a Table in Word 2010
To format a table in Word 2010 — maybe adding a row, adjusting the width of a table element — you can use Word's Table Tools tabs after the table has been created. The Table Tools tabs show up only when a table is being edited or selected. And the best time to format and mess with a table is after you finish putting text into the table.
Manipulating a Word table with the mouse
For quick-and-dirty table manipulation, you can use the mouse. Here are some tips:
Clicking-and-dragging the mouse on a vertical line in the table's grid allows you to adjust the line left or right, and resize the surrounding cells.
You can also adjust cell width by using the Ruler, by pointing the mouse at the Move Table Column button that appears above each table cell gridline.
Clicking-and-dragging the mouse at a horizontal line allows you to adjust the line up or down, and change the row height of surrounding cells.
Adjusting the Word table
It's the Table Tools Layout tab that harbors many of the command buttons and items that let you manipulate and adjust a table. Start your table design journey by placing the insertion pointer somewhere within the table itself, which makes the Table Tools Layout tab (among others) appear:
Deleting cells, columns, or rows: Position the insertion pointer in the part of the table you want to remove, then choose the table element to remove from the Delete button's menu.
When you choose the Delete Cells command, you see a dialog box asking what to do with the other cells in the row or column: move them up or to the left. Yes, deleting a cell may make your table asymmetrical.
Inserting columns or rows: Four commands in the Rows & Columns group make this task possible: Insert Above, Insert Below, Insert Left, and Insert Right. The row or column that's added is relative to where the insertion pointer is within the table.
Adjusting row and column size: Gizmos in the Cell Size group let you fine-tune the table's row height or column width. The Distribute Rows and Distribute Columns command buttons, found in the Cell Size group, help clean up uneven column or row spacing in a table.
Aligning text: Text within a cell can be aligned just like a paragraph: left, center, or right. Additionally, the text can be aligned vertically: top, middle, or bottom.
Reorienting text: The Text Direction button in the Alignment group changes the way text reads in a cell or group of selected cells. Normally, text is oriented from left to right. By clicking the Text Direction button once, you change the text direction to top-to-bottom. Click the button again and direction is changed to bottom-to-top. Clicking a third time restores the text to its normal direction.
Designing a Word table
The Table Tools Design tab is used to help you quickly (or slowly) format your table. The tab shows up whenever the insertion pointer lies somewhere in a table's realm:
Using Quick Styles: The Table Styles group can quickly apply formatting to any table. Choose a style or click the menu button to see a whole smattering of styles.
The Quick Styles don't work when you have a table in a document created by or saved in an older version of Word.
Setting table line styles: The lines you see in a table's grid are the same borders you can apply to text with the Border command button, which determines where the lines go; items on the left side of the Draw Borders group set the border line style, width, and color.
Removing a table's lines: Occasionally, you may want a table without any lines. Select the table and choose No Border from the Borders menu.
Having no lines (borders) in a table makes working with the table more difficult. The solution is to show the table gridlines, which aren't printed. To do that, select the table and choose the Show Gridlines command from the Border menu.
Merging cells: You can combine two or more cells in a table by simply erasing the line that separates them. To do so, click the Eraser command button found in the Draw Borders group. The mouse pointer changes to a bar of soap, but it's supposed to be an eraser. Click a line and it's gone. Click the Eraser button again when you're done merging.
Splitting cells: To turn one cell into two, you simply draw a line, horizontally or vertically, through the cell. Click the Draw Table command button in the Draw Borders group, and then draw new lines in the table. Click the Draw Table button again to turn off this feature.
Deleting a Word table
To utterly remove the table from your document, click the mouse inside the table and then choose Delete→Table from the Rows & Columns group on the Layout tab. The table is blown to smithereens.
Did this glimpse into formatting Word documents leave you longing for more information and insight about Microsoft's popular word processing program? You're free to test drive any of the For Dummies eLearning courses. Pick your course (you may be interested in more from Word 2013), fill out a quick registration, and then give eLearning a spin with the Try It! button. You'll be right on course for more trusted know how: The full version's also available at Word 2013.

This beach is beautiful! I mean what beach isn't? We tried this beach first since we wanted to visit Del Mar anyway and drive through Torrey Pines. A few things to know about this dog beach:
- You have to pay for parking, about $3 an hour
- It's next to a busy road and that somewhat worried me since I had no idea how Shadie would react at the beach
- The sand is sort of black and loves long fur. They both needed baths after
- It has plenty of running space if you go when the tide is low
- Perfect place to get your dog to love the water without giant waves and it's pretty shallow
Overall we would definitely come back to this dog beach. Here are some pictures of our day!

Rapid, Amplification- and Label-Free, Ultrahigh-Confidence Counting of Single RNA and Other Biomarker Molecules in Patient Samples
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) and other non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) have recently emerged as promising diagnostic biomarkers for virtually all pathologies, including cancer, heart disease, diabetes, Alzheimer's, and viral infection. We have developed a novel technology platform for the specific and ultra-sensitive detection of virtually any biomarker of interest through a kinetic "fingerprinting" approach called Single Molecule Recognition through Equilibrium Poisson Sampling (SiMREPS). The SiMREPS platform achieves the rapid, amplification-free counting of single label-free miRNA and ncRNA molecules, bypasses thermodynamic limits of specificity, virtually eliminates false positives, utilizes no enzymes and hence requires minimal pre-treatment of biological samples prior to biomarker detection and avoids the introduction of sampling bias. We have demonstrated the ultrahigh-confidence single-molecule detection of endogenous miRNAs in minimally treated patient samples such as blood serum and cell extracts in under 30 minutes, as well as the >500-fold discrimination against a single nucleotide polymorphism. In addition, SiMREPS can utilize its kinetic "fingerprint" to sensitively detect changes in the accessibility of a sensor RNA or DNA upon biomarker binding to detect virtually any type of secondary biomarker.

Thank you for your kind words. After reading all of the answers on this forum, I now realize how much I've lost myself in this toxic relationship. My parents always stressed selflessness and fighting for the ones you love...but I'm finally realizing that what my heart wants isn't necessarily what I NEED.
I'm so sorry to hear about your ex and friend, but it's inspiring to me that you know your own boundaries. I'm trying to do the same -- I need to be more firm about MY mental health.
I really appreciate your insight.

The Achilles' heel
Given that the majority of attacks which might get through any countermeasure are going to be SQL injection (a.k.a. SQLi) attempts, our first line of defense should be the database. Some dry theory should help us appreciate the importance of this. There is a concept in epidemiology called "homogeneous populations". This is a fancy term, which stands for many different members of a same group sharing a common characteristic. In this context, homogeneous populations are prone to be wiped out by a single threat, if that threat uses this common characteristic to gain leverage against each of the members. In other words, if you look alike to your neighbours, you're in deep trouble!
Believe it or not, Joomla! sites consist of a homogeneous population, vulnerable to severe threats! No, this is not a problem in Joomla!'s design, rather than a misunderstanding of how Joomla! is supposed to work. I am talking about the database table prefix, which defaults to jos_. Most SQLi attacks I've seen "in the wild", take for granted that your site is using the default setting for the database table prefix to deliver their malicious actions against you. Sadly, they are right. Even though jos_ is a default value meant to be changed during installation, it rarely is. As a result, this benevolent default setting proves to be the Achilles' heel of Joomla!. But, really, has it got to be that way with your site?
Thinking before clicking
Thankfully, the answer to my last rhetorical question is a solid and loud "No, sir!" You can prevent being part of the "homogeneous population" of Joomla! sites, if only you take care during installation. This is extremely easy. The solution is found in the fourth page of Joomla!'s installation, titled "Database Configuration". Click on the "Advanced settings" header and locate the "Table Prefix" field. Now all you have to do is pick a good new database table prefix.
There are no general rules about picking a database table prefix. Ideally, it should be something hard to guess, contain only alphanumeric characters, not too big, not too small and end with an underscore. If this sounds complicated, I will agree with you. My general rule of thumb is: pick three random lower case letters (a-z, no accented or international characters, please) and add an underscore. For example, aow_ is a good prefix, but aøw_, αοβ_ or somethingwaytoolongtobepractical_ is not. That's much simpler, right?
If you came late to this party...
...you are already using the default jos_ prefix. Don't fear and don't despair! We can fix that, with a small PHP script, courtesy of your friendly neighbourhood developer — that's yours truly. Before you proceed, do note that modifying your site's database can be potentially dangerous. You will be playing with live fire here, so there's no room for error. Practise those changes on a local server or a development site first. Keep notes of what you do. In any case, before you attempt any change whatsoever, remember practicing the three basic rules of being a web master: backup, backup, and — most importantly — backup! That said, in order to change your database table prefix, create a file named rename.php in your site's root with the following contents:
$new_prefix = 'new_';
require_once 'configuration.php';
$config = new JConfig;
$con = mysql_connect($config->host, $config->user, $config->password);
if(!is_resource($con)) die('Error connecting to db');
$test = mysql_select_db($config->db, $con);
if($test===false) die('Error connecting to db');
$prefix = $config->dbprefix;
$sql = "show tables where `Tables_in_{$config->db}` like '{$prefix}%'";
$res = mysql_query($sql);
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($res))
$old = $row[0];
$new = $new_prefix . substr($old, 4);
$temp = mysql_query("RENAME TABLE `$old` TO `$new`");
if($temp === false) die(mysql_error());
echo "OK";
You have to substitute the new_ placeholder in the second line with your desired new prefix. After saving this to your site's root, run it by accessing the script with a URL like http://www.yoursite.com/rename.php and wait until it responds with an OK, usually after a couple of seconds.
At this point, the first thing you have to do is remove the rename.php script from your site's root. Then, edit the configuration.php file and find the line starting with var $dbprefix. It should look like this:
var $dbprefix = 'jos_';
Replace the old jos_ prefix with your new prefix, i.e. the one you used in the second line of your rename.php script. If your new prefix is new_, this line should now read:
var $dbprefix = 'new_';
Save the file and you're good to go! You've just changed your database table prefix and you're one step closer to fending off attacks by potential hackers.
Honey, I'm already on my way home...
Yes, we've ran out of space for this issue, but worry not! There are quite a few more site security articles in this on-going series. In the next issue, we're going to talk about another practical security tip which has to do with your database. I won't say more, but I'll give you some hints. I've talked about it in my last article, and it's always there when you install Joomla! on a server. I know that most of you must have figured it out by now.
Until our next issue, take care and be safe!

Overriding in an exit program
I have a server with 24 different AS/400 sessions. These sessions are ZBSVRU01 to 24 and are defined to run under a specific subsystem (VOICE). All the other sessions are going under QINTER. I want only sessions from that specific server to be able to connect to VOICE. The problem that I have is that whenever one of these virtual devices becomes available, any client can grab this session and lock it because they cannot sign-on.
I have tried to attach an exit program to the exit point IBM_QTG_DEVINIT, but it looks like the device name is already allocated to the client at that time. Is there a way to specifically accept, or reject a session based on who is requesting it?
The exit program in QIBM_QTG_DEVINIT can override the session name requested by the client so you can prevent sessions from servers other then VOICE use the session names you wish.
An example for such an exit program (override session name and much more) can be found at Download TELNET exit program files page.

CBC's Definitely Not The Opera had a ignorant-about-pop-culture theme today, with pieces about how people don't know stuff the masses are talking about. I'm proud of my stubborn ignorance about some things, including:
- I've never watched South Park or Survivor.
- I know little about the entertainment industry nor do I have an interest in it. Who gives a shit what Lindsay Lohan is up to (who ever the hell that is; I just googled pop culture and picked the first thing listed)?
- I rarely recognize anyone in the Top 50 (maybe 100 or more) music charts (and I loath to listen to most in it, too).
- I don't know anything about the Japanese cartoons or toys that I see in stores or on commercials my daughter watches.
- I can't comprehend why anyone would pay an inflated amount for clothes to wear a brand name advertising that brand.
- I don't own an iPod. Hell, I've never seen one.
But then…

Lecture 16
Francis Bacon pointed out the necessity of divesting ourselves of the power of traditional thinking so we can see the facts.
A scientist doesn't collect facts so easily. It is impossible to be traditionless.
facts objective – there to be observed, the net illustration indicates that there is a measure of human subjectivity.
Word from God.
Nature of Law – not merely a general fact.
Place of Philosophy – in Comte's positivism philosophy is just another special science.
The other special sciences come up with their results; the task of philosophy is to take those results and try to find some kind of ordering in the larger picture. He placed emphasis on logic as an ordering procedure.
The positivists thus see all the other special sciences can be engaged in without philosophy – they don't involve taking a philosophical position. It is a very prevalent view in North America.
Become clear that in everyone of the special sciences there are philosophical positions assumed or presupposed. Despite this has become more and more clear positivism is still the dominant position in North America.
A very good book by a Polish philosopher who was a Marxist and fled Poland
Lesa Chomlakowski I? of Reason Doubleday Anchor 1968
Now come to the third round of lectures.
Round 1 – some general picture of 2000 year old philosophising.
Treatment of accommodation/ synthesis.
Round 2 – two modern movements Empiricism (John Locke) and Comte's positivism.
Round 3 – more systematic thinking to get Christian thinking. Look at another movement. The general structure of Thomas Aquinas
In Comtion positivism philosophy reduced to a special science. philosophy is not like other sciences. We will look at an other but opposite error – philosophy is made too large.
Many philosophers are first generation apostates. Philosophy becomes a substitute for religion.
man are religious beings – religion has more than a cultic element – before we do something we are something – what we are before God determines our directions.
Man's ground of origin is not in himself – he is not an independent being.
[end of tape 13 ½ A – nothing on second side]
Our human condition is that we are creatures before God, servants of God, aware before him of our situation.
Journey through modern thought
In rationalistic humanism the individual person and the rational soul/ mind was taken to be something in its self – a mental substance, 'windowless monads' of Leibniz.
The individual on the couch the psychiatrist tries to penetrate into a person's mind. More recently, man's inbuilt dependence upon others has been emphasised, hence, group therapy.
No man exists in isolation (I – thou relationship). This recent change from individual to group has come about by a growing recognition of the way in which man exists in the world.
In the nineteenth century Schliermacher (1798-1834), one of the great theologians of the nineteenth century, his influence has been enormous. R. Richard Niehbuhr is a Scliermacher expert.
Schliermacher was well aware that the mode of our existing involved:
'a complex of mutually implicated moments of reaction toward another and of being determined by another' and we have relative freedom and relative dependence imply each other, but he also freely distinguished, though he did not separate, from this complex of (world or societal) relations, what he called einshlechinengpenigeist
a feeling of absolute dependence
'a felt relation of dependence that accompanies or pervades the total felt consciousness working from the immediate self-consciousness into the self in the totality of its connection to and within the world.'
Being in relation and then in this relation of absolute dependence appears as the fundamental phenomenon of our self-consciousness.Explore posts in the same categories: By Runner, Lectures

Intake manifold diminish because the size of the leak is proportionally less because the engine breathes extra air. This redirects the stream of coolant back into the engine and bypasses the radiator fully but as a result of the cabin heater radiator is on a separate circuit, the coolant is allowed to move by it. It has a much smaller surface space and its cooling impact is nowhere close to as great. WARNING- Never flood a hot engine with chilly water as chances are you'll cause critical injury.
When testing which areas would provide the best protection it was found that emissions from engine ignition programs drowned out the check alerts. Once in, they don't come out straightforward, but tend to remain there, wearing grooves, grinding and customarily messing up your engine. When the fuel burns contained in the engine cylinder, it generates a high temperature and strain. A closed thermostat valve (overheated engine) will likely be indicated by your vehicle's temperature gauge plunging into the purple.
DKW's engine was so profitable that by 1928 the company had change into the biggest motorbike manufacturer on the planet, producing 65% of all bikes in in-built Germany in addition to supplying engines for a lot of other German marques. This might be going to be the least costly technique to change an engine and a few of the larger salvage yards will present additional warranty protection (at a price). Another 3-cylinder engine on the list is BMW's twinpower turbo engine that is used to power the Mini Cooper.
The heater is blowing chilly air, will not warm up. There us a sound from the engine like a fan running (it is a new sound) and chilly air is coming off the engine. Vacuum leaks disrupt the air and fuel mixture, causing the engine to idle roughly if it runs or making it exhausting to start at all. The consumption valves heat less throughout engine operation, since they're cooled by the incoming air or gas-air mixture on the consumption stroke. If you notice that your check engine light comes on, take your car in for an inspection as soon as attainable.
For most home-and standard import-car fashions, it is attainable to search out engine and transmission elements by a local machine shop in your city at decrease than dealer costs. Hire a mechanic or an ASE technician who knows about engine modification and engine tuning specifically. Honestly, most cars again then were not good sufficient to illuminate no matter they used for a verify engine mild when the automobile experienced most failures, so the verify engine gentle was not a very useful factor.

Another tri five?
Yes. That's right we now have a third tri five shoebox. We started with a '57. Then we picked up a cool '55. Well now we have '56 4 door. It's in very nice shape. There is no major rust or body damage. The owner has already replaced the door skins and the the fenders were patched some time ago so we will not have any major surgery on this one. We started by stripping the hood and fenders. We chose to those ourselves because they were not rusty on the back sides. We have primed the hood with PPG's vibrancy line very high build primer. Cole started blocking that out today. Tomorrow we plan on priming the fenders with the same product. Stay tuned.
What's going on at the shop?
I know it's been a while since we have posted. We have been pretty busy and we have been making some progress. Here we have the '70 Beetle project. It's all complete and ready to go home. This was a complete body off restoration. We painted this one inside and out, replaced the wiring and a complete interior kit. As you can see we kept the outside completely stock except for the lowered and narrowed front beam. This was a fun project. I'm sure the owner will love tooling around in this awesome little bug.
Cabs are here!
The past few days we have been sanding this cab to prepare it for painting. After hours and hours of meticulous work we were finally satisfied with and decided it was time to make it shiny again. We cleaned the booth this morning and set the cab up. We then wiped it down, cleaning every square inch. Once that was done we masked off the floor inside and outside. This was done to keep the floor looking nice and to keep dirt out of the paint. We then did our final wipe with a tach rag and started painting. First a coat of PPG's DAS sealer was sprayed. Once that was dry 3 coats of DBC color followed by 3 coats of 2021 clear. The more I spray this color, the more I like it. This cab really turned out great. Its nice to see hard work pay off.
Shoebox gets booth time.
It's been very busy around the shop for the past few weeks. We have had tons of collision repairs which hasn't left us much time to work on the restoration cars. We did manage to squeeze in a few hours here and there to get these parts ready for paint and while we were waiting on parts we we decided it was the perfect time to spay them. I'm not sure it this is an actual factory color, the owner had already picked this color before we started the project but I do really like it. We started with a coat of sealer followed by 3 coats of DBC base coat and 2 coats PPG's 2021 clear. The body work on the rest of the car is coming along great hopefully we can get into the booth soon.
Time to shine!
Its been a long time coming but we are finally spraying some color on the C-10 project. We had intentions on painting both bedsides today but when we were prepping them, we found a spot on one of them that wasnt up to snuff. So it came back out for repair and we slid the radiator support in in its place. These parts were sealed with PPG's urethane sealer followed by 3 coats of PPG base coat then 3 coats of clear. Things went smoothly and the turned out very nice. The color looks amazing. We will wet sand and buff the outside of the bedside before reassembly. Hopefully we will get another batch of parts painted in the next couple of weeks.
Raptor liner
After a few good days of prepping the floor and bottom of the cab we were finally able to spray it. The first couple of pictures show how not prepping panels properly turn out. The black peeling paint is actually POR 15. It was improperly applied so we removed it before applying our coatings over it. We started with a coat of PPG's DPLV epoxy primer over the bare metal and properly prepared panels. We actually did that yesterday afternoon. This morning we came in applied SEM seam sealer to the seams and the weld areas where patches were installed. Once the seam sealer was dry, Jordan sprayed 2 coats of Raptor liner over the DP. This well provide a water proof barrier for the under side of this truck that will still look very nice. While we were at it, we also sprayed the inside of the bedsides that are exposed to the bottom of the truck. Up next, its time to start spraying some panels while we finish up the body work on the cab.
Bottoms up
Still plugging away on the C-10. Last week we finished up the body work on the cab and applied a couple more coats of PPG's high build epoxy. Because the body work was so extensive we will definitely block that out and prime it again to be sure we didnt miss anything. Today we started prepping bottom of the cab for bedliner. As you can see it was blasted giving us a good starting point. You can see there are new patches in the floors in the top corners. Those areas were a little thin and the cab mounts needed to be shored up some as well. While Jordan sanded the bottom, Paul got a great start on straightening out the rockers. We still have a bit of sanding to do on the floor and more work on the rockers but over the next couple of days we should be able to get the bottom of the cab sprayed with epoxy followed by a couple coats of Raptor liner.
Progress on the Beetle is moving along. We have the fenders bolted down with new fender beading. The German running boards are on and looking really nice and the door glass is all in and functional. We have also removed the old exhaust system in preparation for the new one that is on its way. We also cleaned the engine up some while we were at it. The new turn signals are on and wired up as well as the head lights. We have also installed the new triple plated front bumper after we sandblasted the original brackets and repainted them semi gloss black. This one is really shaping up and it wont be long till its off the upholstery shop to get a new head liner.
C-10 Cab
After many hours of blocking a filling, the cab on the C-10 is pretty close to being straight. Yes, this one lived the life of a truck but glory days are in its future. With all the body work fairly close to being finished we will next turn our attention to the floor and bottom of the cab. Just like the rest of the underside on this truck it will get a bedliner both inside and out. We will then once more make sure the bodywork is complete before priming. Because of the extensive body work, we will most likely prime it twice to be sure its good to go.
Prime time '55
We shot a few coats of primer on the '55 hood and trunk today. As you can see they were in pretty good shape. We did have a few places that needed some attention but once they were straight and the booth was open, we slid them on in. These parts will be blocked one more time to be sure they are ready for paint. Its a long process but it really pays off in the end.

For Healthcare Professionals - PET and CT
General Information about PET/CT
- What is PET?
- Cancer and PET
- How does PET compare to MRI and Computed Tomography (CT)
- Neurological Disease
- Cardiovascular Disease
- Cost and Reimbursement
- History of PET
- PET Today
What Is PET
Positron Emission Tomography (PET) is rapidly becoming a major diagnostic imaging modality used predominantly in determining the presence and severity of cancers, neurological conditions, and cardiovascular disease. It is currently the most effective way to check for cancer recurrences. Studies demonstrate that PET offers significant advantages over other forms of imaging such as CT or MRI scans in diagnosing disease. Last year more than 200,000 PET scans were performed at more than 700 sites around the country.
A PET scanner consists of an array of detectors that surround the patient. Using the gamma ray signals given off by the injected radionuclide, PET measures the amount of metabolic activity at a site in the body and a computer reassembles the signals into images. Cancer cells have higher metabolic rates than normal cells, and show up as denser areas on a PET scan. PET is useful in diagnosing certain cardiovascular and neurological diseases because it highlights areas with increased, diminished or no metabolic activity, thereby pinpointing problems.
The imaging in PET is all indirect. Like CT, MRI, and SPECT, PET relies on computerized reconstruction procedures to produce tomographic images. It is performed by means of detecting positron-emission by use of tomography. Two ways in which radionuclides decay that will reduce excess positive charge on the nucleus include the neutralization of a positive charge with the negative charge of an electron or the emission of a positron from the nucleus. The positron will then combine with an electron from the surroundings and annihilate. Upon annihilation both the positron and the electron are then converted to electromagnetic radiation. This electromagnetic radiation is in the form of two high-energy photons which are emitted 180 degrees away from each other. It is this annihilation radiation that can be detected externally and is used to measure both the quantity and the location of the positron emitter.
Simultaneous detection of two of these photons by detectors on opposite sides of an object places the site of the annihilation on or about a line connecting the centers of the two detectors. At this point mapping the distribution of annihilations by computer is allowed. If the annihilation originates outside the volume between the two detectors, only one of the photons can be detected, and since the detection of a single photon does not satisfy the coincidence condition, the event is rejected. Simultaneous detection provides a precise field of view with uniform sensitivity. This occurs because wherever the disintegration takes place between the two detectors, the photons must in sum have traveled the full interdetector distance in order that the event be recorded.
Cancer & PET
PET is considered particularly effective in identifying whether cancer is present or not, if it has spread, if it is responding to treatment, and if a person is cancer free after treatment. Cancers for which PET is considered particularly effective include lung, head and neck, colorectal, esophageal, lymphoma, melanoma, breast, thyroid, cervical, pancreatic, and brain as well as other less-frequently-occurring cancers.
- Early Detection: Because PET images biochemical activity, it can accurately characterize a tumor as benign or malignant, thereby avoiding surgical biopsy when the PET scan is negative. Conversely, because a PET scan images the entire body, confirmation of distant metastasis can alter treatment plans in certain cases from surgical intervention to chemotherapy.
- Staging of Cancer: PET is extremely sensitive in determining the full extent of disease, especially in lymphoma, malignant melanoma, breast, lung, colon and cervical cancers. Confirmation of metastatic disease allows the physician and patient to more accurately decide how to proceed with the patient's management.
- Checking for recurrences: PET is currently considered to be the most accurate diagnostic procedure to differentiate tumor recurrences from radiation necrosis or post-surgical changes. Such an approach allows for the development of a more rational treatment plan for the patient.
- Assessing the Effectiveness of Chemotherapy: The level of tumor metabolism is compared on PET scans taken before and after a chemotherapy cycle. A successful response seen on a PET scan frequently precedes alterations in anatomy and would therefore be an earlier indicator of tumor response than that seen with other diagnostic modalities.
PET and CT or MRI
Because PET measures metabolism, as opposed to MRI or CT, which "see" structure, it can be superior to these modalities, particularly in separating tumor from benign lesions, and in differentiating malignant from non-malignant masses such as scar tissue formed from treatments like radiation therapy. PET is often used in conjunction with an MRI or CT scan through "fusion" to give a full three-dimensional view of an organ and the location of cancer within that organ. Newer PET scanners are being made that are a combination of PET/CT devices.
Neurological Disease
PET's ability to measure metabolism also has significant implications in diagnosing Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, epilepsy and other neurological conditions, because it can vividly illustrate areas where brain activity differs from the norm.
Alzheimer's Diagnosis: Until recently, autopsy has been considered the only definitive test for Alzheimer's disease (AD). Recent studies indicate that PET can supply important diagnostic information and confirm an Alzheimer's diagnosis (Journal of Nuclear Medicine, November 2000). When comparing a normal brain versus an AD-affected brain on a PET scan, a distinctive image appears in the area of the AD-affected brain. This pattern is seen very early in the AD course. Conventionally, the confirmation of AD is a long process of elimination that averages between two and three years of diagnostic and cognitive testing. Early diagnosis can provide the patient access to therapies, which are more effective earlier in the disease.
- PET also is useful in differentiating Alzheimer's disease from other forms of dementia disorders, such as vascular dementia, Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease, etc.
- Epilepsy: PET is one of the most accurate methods available to localize areas of the brain causing epileptic seizures and to determine if surgery is a treatment option.
Cardiovascular Disease
By measuring both blood flow (perfusion) and metabolic rate within the heart, physicians using PET scans can pinpoint areas of decreased blood flow such as that caused by blockages, and differentiate muscle damage from living muscle, which has inadequate blood flow (myocardial viability). This information is particularly important in patients who have had previous myocardial infarction and who are being considered for a revascularization procedure.
Cost & Reimbursement:
PET scan charges range from $1200-$3500, depending on the type of scan. Insurance companies will cover the cost of many PET scans. Medicare reimburses for PET scans for the following cancers: colorectal, lung, lymphoma, and melanoma, head and neck and esophageal cancers, and also for refractory seizures (epilepsy). Medicare will begin PET reimbursement to initially stage, to determine recurrence and to measure effectiveness of treatment of breast cancer as well as for myocardial viability. These new reimbursement categories become effective October 1, 2002. Medicare is constantly updating reimbursements, so visit the Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imagining to find the latest information.
History of PET
In the 1970's PET scanning was formally introduced to the medical community. At that time it was seen as an exciting new research modality that opened doors through which medical researchers could watch, study, and understand the biology of human disease.
In 1976, the radiopharmaceutical fluorine-18-2-fluoro-2-deoxyglucose (FDG), a marker of sugar metabolism with a half-life of 110 minutes, enabled tracer doses to be administered safely to the patient with low radiation exposure. The development of radiopharmaceuticals like FDG made it easier to study living beings, and set the groundwork for more in-depth research into using PET to diagnose and evaluate the effect of treatment on human disease. To perform PET studies in the late 1970's, a large staff was needed: physicists to run the cyclotron that produces the F-18 and to oversee the scanner, chemists to make the tracers such as FDG, and dedicated, specialist physicians.
During the 1980's the technology that underlies PET advanced greatly. Commercial PET scanners were developed with more precise resolution and images. As a result, many of the steps required for producing a PET scan became automated, and able to be performed by a trained technician and experienced physician, thereby reducing the cost and complexity of the procedure. Smaller, self-shielded cyclotrons were developed, making it possible to install cyclotrons at more locations.
PET Today
Until recently a PET center required a cyclotron and a radiochemistry laboratory on site to produce the FDG. As a result there was a scarcity of centers. However, there are now multiple sites that make FDG and distribute it to the centers that only need to have a PET scanner to perform the imaging study.

Maybe it's time for Americans to admit that we like the familiar faces and names of politicians from famous families.
How else can we make sense of the continuing presence of dynasties in our politics?
Very few American voters say they are in favor of dynasties like those of the Bushes and Clintons. But just six years after these families relinquished control of the White House after holding it for two decades, prominent Republicans are reportedly trying to draft Jeb Bush into a race in which Hillary Clinton is expected to be the leading Democratic candidate.
The same pattern of dynastic succession can be seen in the field for the 2014 elections, which is stacked with brand names. Most notably, Georgia is likely to have a dual ticket of Democrats with famous family members: Michelle Nunn, the daughter of the former senator Sam Nunn and the party's likely Senate nominee, and Jimmy Carter's grandson Jason, the presumptive Democratic nominee for governor.
Other examples include Jeb Bush's son George P. Bush, who is the Republican nominee for Texas Land Commissioner, and Debbie Dingell, the leading candidate to replace her husband, John Dingell, the longest-serving member of the House of Representatives.
Absent a voter backlash, which rarely occurs, elected officials can often bequeath significant advantages to their children and other relatives, academic research shows. Even first-time candidates start off with a brand name that is recognizable to voters and can draw on family relationships with politicians, activists and donors that often translate into public support, endorsements and campaign contributions.
Of course, America has a long history of political dynasties, including the Adams, Harrison, Roosevelt and Bush families, who collectively produced eight presidents, including two of the last four. This pattern extends well beyond the presidency. Consider the Kennedys: only John F. Kennedy became president, but he was the first of six Kennedys to serve in Congress. (On April 8, Ted Kennedy Jr. announced that he would run for the state senate in Connecticut.)
Just under 9 percent of members of Congress between 1789 and 1996 were related to a previous member of Congress, according to a 2009 study, including 7 percent of those who served after 1966. More recently, 12 percent of all House races without an incumbent candidate between 1994 and 2006 had a member of a political dynasty as a candidate, according to an article in Legislative Studies Quarterly by Brian Feinstein.
Mr. Feinstein found that being a close relative of a governor or a member of the House or Senate was associated with greater vote share and a higher likelihood of winning. That's even after accounting for differences in candidate experience and fund-raising and the partisanship of the district, an advantage he attributes to having a strong "brand name" (he found no significant difference in political experience or fund-raising between dynastic candidates and others).
Moreover, these differences do not appear to result from a pattern of high candidate quality within families. In the 2009 study, Ernesto Dal Bó, Pedro Dal Bó and Jason Snyder isolated the effects of longer tenures in office by comparing members of Congress who narrowly won or lost their first re-election bid. Those who narrowly won and served longer tenures in Congress were about twice as likely to have relatives serve in Congress in the future (12 percent versus 6 percent). As they put it, "in politics, power begets power."
Ms. Nunn, Mr. Carter, Ms. Dingell and George P. Bush will probably be on the ballot for their parties in November in part because of these advantages. Despite never having held elected office, Ms. Nunn was recruited by Democrats to run for the Senate and has performed surprisingly well in polls, a result that is hard to imagine without her association with her father. As a result of her successes and of concerns that Republicans could choose an extreme candidate in a contested primary among Republicans, the race was recently moved to tossup status by the prognosticator Charlie Cook. In Texas, George P. Bush has raised millions of dollars with help from his family and is considered the big favorite in his race.
Jason Carter faces a far more difficult challenge in his campaign for governor in Georgia but is also getting family assistance in raising money, from his grandfather. Ms. Dingell is the front-runner to win the primary to succeed her husband, presumably reflecting her association with her husband as well as her own record of service to the community.
The same principles that have helped elect so many past dynastic candidates to Congress and state office also apply to Ms. Clinton and Jeb Bush. While both are accomplished, with long records of public service, there's no denying the value of their family associations.
They seem to be benefiting in particular from the fact that Americans tend to view former presidents more fondly after they leave office. Mr. Bush is an immediate family member of two of these former presidents, while Ms. Clinton is married to the most popular living ex-president. Those associations — and the connections and polling support that they bring — have helped make Ms. Clinton the strong favorite to secure the Democratic nomination and Bush a serious contender in his party's invisible primary.
Barbara Bush, the former first lady and Jeb Bush's mother, argued last year, "There are other people out there that are very qualified, and we've had enough Bushes."
And yet a Clinton-Bush clash of dynasties remains possible. Such a campaign would surely test the public's patience with treating politics as the family business, but if it happens, don't we have only ourselves to blame?
