West Haven High assistant principal resigns; was on paid leave following alleged burger throwing incident (video)
WEST HAVEN -- An assistant principal of West Haven High School resigned Monday, having been on paid administrative leave since she was allegedly involved in a hamburger-throwing altercation with a student in May.
The school board at a Monday night meeting agreed unanimously to accept Patricia Whitney's resignation in a vote that also included the acceptance of other employees' resignations.
The item was added to the agenda during the meeting. According to sources familiar with the situation, the school district had begun the termination process for Whitney's employment.
Board members did not make comments on Whitney's resignation as they took the vote, but prior to the meeting held an executive session in which they were briefed on the situation with the board's lawyer.
"I'm pleased at how it turned out. I think it's best for both parties to move on," Superintendent of Schools Neil Cavallaro said after the meeting.
Cavallaro also said he will be meeting today with West Haven High School Principal Pamela Gardner to discuss a temporary plan that will be in place while the assistant principal job is posted.
Cavallaro would not comment on the incident, but in the past has confirmed that Whitney, who did not attend Monday night's meeting, was placed on paid administrative leave and that a situation involving her and a student was under investigation.
Whitney, hired in March 2003, reportedly had a disagreement with a student in the cafeteria, which led to the student throwing a hamburger at Whitney, who allegedly threw it back.
It is unclear whether the student was supposed to be in the cafeteria because of an in-school suspension.
School officials also notified the state Department of Children and Families, which they are obligated to do in such cases.
The Police Department was also alerted, but Sgt. Dave Tammaro said at the time that the incident was being handled by school administrators and "does not rise to the level of warranting a law enforcement investigation."
Whitney decided against using representation from the West Haven Administrators Association union, opting instead to hire her own attorney, union president Jon Capone said last week.
Whitney's attorney, Emily Lucibello, could not immediately be reached for comment Monday night.
Whitney was also put on paid administrative leave in 2009 following an alleged altercation with a student.

DU hockey's new volunteer coach is a war veteran
The DU hockey team's new volunteer coach has an extraordinary story. Indeed, Matty Thomas of Bow, N.H., is the older brother of former Pioneers captain Andrew Thomas (2004-08) and the son of former Western Collegiate Hockey Association referee Larry Thomas. But Matty's military background is what really catches your attention.
Thomas played hockey for Navy's club team, served as team captain, and graduated from the Academy in 2005, and then, according to a DU release:
"Thomas was commissioned as a Surface Warfare Officer in the United States Navy. He then completed three wartime deployments during tours aboard USS MONTEREY (CG 61) and USS ELROD (FFG 55) in support of both U.S. and NATO operations. During his four years serving afloat, Thomas served separately as both Damage Control Assistant and Tomahawk Engagement Control Officer."
In 2009, the release says, Thomas' "brought him to Military Sealift Command Headquarters in Washington D.C., and Thomas rejoined Navy hockey as assistant coach. In two seasons working with his friend and mentor, head coach Michael Fox, Thomas was responsible for recruiting, video coordination, special-teams strategies, classroom sessions, team-building development and off-ice conditioning."
Thomas replaces former longtime European professional hockey player Steven Palmer, who did a terrific job last season and was a huge hit among the players.
"We are pleased to add Matty Thomas to our coaching staff," DU coach George Gwozdecky said in a release. "He has an impressive military background and passion for hockey. Matty has a strong work ethic and he comes from a great hockey family."
Division I hockey programs can carry just two full-time paid assistant coaches. The Pioneers also have a director of hockey operations (David Tenzer) on the payroll. Many times, the volunteer coach is the head coach's No. 1 or No. 2 assistant, given that at least one of the paid assistants is often out recruiting during the season. I have never understood why a Division I hockey team is only allowed two paid assistants to handle a roster of 24-28 players, while a DI basketball team has three paid assistants with less than half as many players to work with.

How Should I Go About Performing A Spring Cleanout In My Water Garden?
Marilyn – Jackson, MI
Spring cleaning applies not only to the house, but your water garden as well. Here are 7 spring clean-out tips to get your pond off to a great start:
1.) Get a holding tank: Before you tend to your pond, have a holding tank ready for your koi and other fish. Make sure to house them using existing pond water and place a pond aeration kit in the tank to ensure oxygen levels remain high. Even though this is a temporary space for your fish, they may be startled by their new environment. It is always best to place some pond netting over the holding tank to ensure none of the fish jump out.
2.) Drain the pond: Once the fish are safely housed in their temporary holding tank, drain the pond with a pond pump and drain hose.
3.) Power wash: Power wash the rocks and remove any algae, muck and other debris build up. For stubborn debris that just won't wash away, use Pond Logic® Oxy-Lift™ Defense® to take care the problem. Simply sprinkle over stubborn debris, wait 10 minutes and rinse away. We recommend rinsing and pumping out dirty water a few times to ensure a good cleaning.
4.) Make adjustments: At this point in the cleaning process with no water in the pond, it's best to check for any rocks or plants that might need to be adjusted as some of the scenery may have been displaced during the power wash.
5.) Check the lights: This is great time to check any pond lights to ensure they are in working condition. Now is also a good time to add new pond lights if desired.
6.) Reconnect plumbing and filters: Reinstall any pumps, UV clarifiers, filters or spitters once the rest of the pond is clean, and get ready to refill and reintroduce your fish to your pond.
7.) Refill and re-acclimate: After you refill your pond, add Pond Logic® Water Conditioner to remove any chlorine and to detoxify heavy metals from the new water. Re-acclimate your fish to the new pond water by slowly adding some to their holding tank. We recommend using Pond Logic® Stress Reducer PLUS to your pond as well to help reduce any stress caused by transporting them.
Once done, congratulate yourself – you're finished, it's time to get back to enjoying your pond.

Yesterday we took a look at the recent rise in attendance at NFL games. And with the number of tickets sold for each game over 67,000, the average NFL game has more than twice as many fans as any of the other major North American sports leagues.
But while the NFL is still this country's most popular sport, they are only fourth when it comes to total attendance, selling just 17.1 million tickets in 2011.
In fact, Major League Baseball's total attendance (74.9 million) is actually greater than the other four sports leagues combined (65.9 million).
Here's the breakdown of attendance for the NFL, NBA*, NHL, MLS, and MLB from their most recently completed season.
Data via ESPN.com. The NBA's total attendance is projected over a full 82-game season as the 2011-12 season was reduced to 66 games due to a lockout.

Sunship Setting
This was the gorgeous sunset we had when coming home from Long Island during our weekend adventure in July. The boat rides were really fun (and exhausting) because Bobo was having a blast. We distracted him for a while by taking silly pictures. I love how these came out because you can see the deep red glow from the sunset. Such a perfect evening!

The New York Times published a travel article via their 36 Hours series, "What to Do in Memphis," by Colleen Creamer that highlights some of the favorite hot-spots around town. And locals would agree with their picks.
It features culinary favorites like the Beauty Shop, the Bar-B-Q Shop, and the only antidote to the Delta-summer heat: Jerry's Sno Cones. There are also landmarks and attractions like Overton Park, the National Civil Rights Museum, and the quirkiest illuminated dance club: Paula & Raiford's Disco. (Or as my friend Jasmine dubbed it, "Rai-Rai's.")
The article and its accompanying video squeeze in a convincing reel of content that portrays Memphis as a desirable and soulful destination. (Which of course is delightfully flattering to us Memphians.)
Yet, Paula Raiford summed it up best when people asked her about opening up another club elsewhere: "I'm not gonna move the experience. The experience is in Memphis, Tennessee."
Amen, Paula. Amen.

Don't know what you got 'til it's gone, huh? After years as the butt of jokes, Twinkies are the hot commodity amid Hostess closure news.
One who always knew their true value: Tallahassee, the Woody Harrelson character in the 2009 adventure/comedy "Zombieland." His quest for the "spongey yellow bastards" amid a zombie apocalypse stamp him as a true Twinkie believer. Some quotes from the movie (minor spoilers):
Columbus (Jesse Eisenberg), in voiceover: Something about a Twinkie reminded him of times long ago, when things were simple and not so psychotic.
Columbus: What are we doing here?
Tallahassee: Well, take a look, it's a (expletive) Hostess truck.
Columbus: Yeah, I see that, a Hostess truck. So what.
Tallahassee: I could use a Twinkie.
(The pair scramble down an embankment to the wrecked truck, pull open the door, and out pour …)
Tallahassee: Sno Balls?
Columbus: Yeah.
Tallahassee:Sno Balls?! Where's the (expletive) Twinkies?
Columbus: I like Sno Balls.
Tallahassee: I hate coconut. Not the taste, the consistency.
Columbus (eating one): Fresh.
Tallahassee: Oh, this Twinkie thing, it ain't over yet.
Columbus: You're going to risk our lives for a Twinkie?
Tallahassee: There is a box of Twinkies in that grocery store. Not just any box of Twinkies, but the last box of Twinkies anyone will enjoy in the whole universe. Believe it or not, Twinkies have an expiration date. Someday very soon, life's little Twinkie gauge is going to go empty.
Tallahassee: A Vortec six-(expletive)-liter V8, a box of hollow-points and, Lord willing, a G-D Twinkie. Gotta enjoy the little things.
(The two guys and two fellow apocalypse survivors have invaded Bill Murray's home and are checking out the kitchen cupboards.)
Little Rock (Abigail Breslin): No Twinkies.
Tallahassee: (Expletive, expletive).
Wichita: (Emma Stone): See. I told you we should've gone to Russell Crowe's.
Tallahassee: You know what they call Twinkies in Mexico? Los Submarinos. That's where I'm headed, amigo.
(In the amusement park Pacific Playland, Tallahassee has broken into the deep-fried Twinkie stand.)
Tallahassee: Where are you, ya spongey yellow delicious bastards? Where are you?
(Hearing a noise in the storage room, Columbus fires his double-barreled shotgun, and blasts the last box of Twinkies. Tallahassee mournfully displays a shot-riddled Twinkie.)
Columbus: Do you think you could maybe just pick out the buckshot and eat around it?
(Leaving the park, Little Rock tosses Tallahassee an intact, wrapped Twinkie.)
Columbus, in voiceover: Tallahassee got his Twinkie. And though life would never be simple or innocent again, as he savored that spongey yellow log of cream, we had hope.

Summit Up 2-24-13: Thanking LOTM for its generosity
Good morning and welcome to Summit Up, the world's only daily column that thinks, make that knows, we live in a great and caring community thanks in part to Lord of the Mountains church.
In recognition of the many services provided during the Colorado wildfires last summer, as well as after Hurricane Sandy, Lord of the Mountains Lutheran Church recently took up a special offering to benefit the American Red Cross. Pastor Joe Holub and Paul Hage from LOTM presented a check in the amount of $1,800 to Jody Acres, area manager for the American Red Cross. Included in the amount was $400 from Thrivent Financial for Lutherans.
We also have a Smarty Pants Alert! going out to Cooper Krause of Breckenridge, who just graduated from Montana State University with highest honors, meaning he finished with a cumulative GPA of at least 3.7. Way to go Cooper! Best of luck to you in the future.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass.- The Harvard men's tennis team picked its second 4-3 victory in as many days as the Crimson outlasted St. John's Saturday at the Murr Center Tennis Courts. The win elevates Harvard to 7-4 on the year, while the Red Storm falls to 2-6.
The Crimson enjoyed an early lead as the home team had the upper hand in doubles play, winning all three matches. Aba Omodele-Lucien and Christo Schultz picked up an 8-3 win at the top slot. Alistair Felton and Davis Mangham claimed an 8-3 win at the No. 2 position to secure the doubles point. Alexei Chijoff-Evans and Joshua Tchan completed the sweep with an 8-6 victory at the No. 3 spot.
Both squads earned three singles wins on the day. Tchan cruised to victory at the No. 4 position by winning both sets. Four of the six singles contests went the full distance as they were decided in three sets. At the top slot, Chijoff-Evans took the first set, 6-4, fell in the second set, 4-6, and then rebounded to capture a win with a 6-2 win in the third set. With the score at 3-3, Omodele-Lucien stepped up and clinched the victory for the Crimson. After dropping the first set, 4-6, Omodele-Lucien responded with a decisive, 6-1, win in the second set to even the match. In the final set, the junior outlasted the Red Storm's Milo Hauk to clinch the Crimson's seventh win with a 7-5 victory in the third set.
Harvard returns to action as it travels to Montgomery, Ala., to partake in the Blue-Gray Championships, March 18-21.

I can barely keep up with the mythology put forth by the "Hellboy" series, but I enjoyed the first film, and I enjoyed the new one. The best scene in "Hellboy II: The Golden Army," writer-director Guillermo Del Toro's sequel to his comic book adaptation "Hellboy," involves tooth fairies. These are not the sort of tooth fairies you want 'round your pillow at night. These tooth fairies eat teeth, and conjured by an underworld prince hellbent on taking over the planet, they provide cigar-chomping tough guy Hellboy and his team from the Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defense with some formidable opposition.
The tooth-fairy swarm scene reminds you just how inventive Del Toro is, and how, in the right hands, digital effects, creature design and directorial elan can work together to give you the best sort of willies. (Del Toro was the fantasist behind "Pan's Labyrinth.) It's as vivid as anything in the first "Hellboy."
The movie overall is engaging, though it's more cavalier regarding story and relentless in its action than its predecessor. Del Toro's script, based on the Mike Mignola comic book, focuses rather dutifully on Hellboy's domestic strife with girlfriend and pyro-tyro Liz ( Selma Blair, looking like a live-action version of Colette in "Ratatouille"). Ron Perlman is great to have around as Hellboy; as before, his oaky, mellow voice belies all manner of freakish rage and loner angst. I wish, though, he had more to do in his own sequel. Del Toro and his sterling team of designers sometimes make it hard on the actors to be noticed. Here, for example, by the time we get to the climactic battle between the forces of good and the underworld prince's mechanical golden army of doom, it's simply the largest and last in a long line of combat sequences.
But there is an awful lot to soak up here visually, and that counts for a good deal. The creature and makeup effects are by Mike Elizalde ("Men in Black"), who is a genius. The adversarial Prince Nuada (Luke Goss, good with a spear and a variety of blades) is appalled at how humankind has trashed the planet. He's Al Gore with unlimited mixed martial arts training, and as odd as it seems, "Hellboy II," "WALLE" and Werner Herzog's documentary "Encounters at the End of the World" are all saying the same thing. We'd better tend our garden more mindfully, or not even Hellboy will be able to save us.
See the trailer and find local showtimes for "Hellboy II: The Golden Army."

At Burning Man, the annual arts festival, mutant vehicles plod across Nevada's Black Rock Desert. And this year's art cars include a fully-functional spider walker, a remote-controlled trilobite, and a mobile mammoth skeleton.
The theme of this year's Burning Man was "Evolution," inspiring a great deal of art, vehicular and otherwise, centered around the animal kingdom. On the more retrofuturistic side of things, this year's Burning Man also featured the "Raygun Gothic Rocket" as an installation, which, contrary to festival rumors, didn't actually take off.

Golf Injuries and Active Release Techniques (ART)Friday, June 14th, 2013
With summer now here, many of us are hitting the golf links for the first time in several months. While it's the season for warmer temperatures, it's also the season for golf injuries. Because golf is low impact and non-strenuous, many people assume that golfers don't get injured. In fact, golf-related injuries are surprisingly common and most often the result of repetitive strain on muscles and other soft tissues.
Fortunately, there is a treatment technique that is helping golfers heal from the common aches and pain of repetitive injuries. It's called Active Release Techniques (ART), and it's enabling many individuals to return to the course sooner with decreased pain along with restored flexibility, balance, and stability.
Why Do Golf Injuries Happen?
During a typical round of golf or practice session, a player will take from 60 to over 100 swings. These swings can accumulate very quickly into the thousands quickly if you're playing multiple rounds per week or practicing your swing at the driving range.
This repetitive swing motion places significant stress on joints, ligaments, tendons, and muscles – even under the best of circumstances. However, a minor problem such as bad posture or lack of flexibility can cause the body to compensate for the problematic area. This is often referred to as "swing compensation." Swing compensation can directly lead to strain on soft tissues and eventually cause injury. For example, a player who struggles with limited range in the hips will compensate by using excessive motion of the back or shoulders during a swing. This can not only affect the overall quality of the swing, it can lead to injuries of the hip, back, or shoulder.
Repetitive Strain Injuries
There is a tremendous amount of force that happens with each golf swing. And, over time, these continued bursts of energy channeled into a golf swing can cause strain on muscles, tendons, joints, and ligaments. When there is swing compensation, there is even more strain placed on these soft tissues. This strain causes micro-trauma which often initially feels like minor aches, pains, or tightness.
The body responds to these micro-traumas by producing scar tissue around the injured area. While scar tissue is your body's way of healing itself, it can also build up and form adhesion's affecting the function of muscles, the flow of blood, and the motion of joints. As scar tissue adhesion's build up, swing compensation becomes more pronounced leading to a repetitive injury cycle that ultimately affects the long-term health and stability of the affected areas being compromised.
How Active Release Techniques (ART) Can Help
Active Release Techniques (ART) is a hands-on treatment method that has been shown to significantly address problems associated with golf injuries. It involves a practitioner first locating scar tissue adhesions that have built up around muscles and other soft tissues. Adhesions are then broken up through very specific pressure applied by hand. Normal tissue flexibility and movement is restored. And, swing compensation can be corrected.
The majority of golfers who try ART are amazed by the quick, effective results. Often, significant improvement is experienced in just four to six treatments when combined with chiropractic care, home stretching and strengthening exercises.

Early Literacy
In January of 2002, Assistant Commissioner Gordon MacInnes, with the support of Commissioner William Librera and the Governor, re-iterated student achievement as the primary mission of the Abbott Division. The initial efforts, consistent with scientifically based research, focused on early literacy in preschool through third grade. These endeavors developed into Early Literacy, an initiative that became the driving force of the Office of Urban Literacy.
Early Literacy is designed to close the achievement gap between New Jersey's urban and suburban districts. The principles of Early Literacy adhere to the Scientifically Based Reading Research (SBRR), process writing, and the six components of reading (phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, comprehension, and motivation & background knowledge). Early Literacy is inclusive of all populations (bilingual/English as a Second Language - ESL, and special needs) impacting all primary schools in the 31 districts receiving Abbott funding, and serving as a source of guidance to others.

We are a trade only distributor, so unfortunately you will notbe able to purchase parts directly from us.
You can use the shop finder facility here to find a localstockist who will be able to supply you with the parts that youneed. In the event that the shop does not have the part in stockthen they should be able to order it for you - If the parts youneed are in stock at HPI then they should be available to themwithin 2-3 days!
- 我应该使用什么燃料?
The type of fuel that you require will depend on the engine thatis fitted into your car - we would suggest either 16% Nitro or 20%Nitro fuels for small block (.12-.18) engines and 20% Nitro or25% Nitro fuels for big block (.21-.36) engines.
We always run our cars on the fuels that we distribute and findthem to run reliably, have easy tuning characteristics and providea long engine life so we wouldn't hesitate to recommend that youalso use them in your car. Your local model shop will also be happyto advise on other fuels that they have available that suit yourrequirements.
For the petrol powered cars that we offer you should useunleaded fuel mixed with a good quality two stroke oil at a 25:1ratio.
- 电启动器可以用在我的手拉引擎上吗?
Yes you can - use the table below to identify which partsyou need:
Don't forget you'll also need a charger and a batterypack to complete the conversion!
- 为什么单向轴承损坏了?
The One Way Bearing is normally very reliable and will only failin the event that it's over-loaded. This is normally caused byattempting to start the engine whilst it's flooded.
If the Rotostart jams or the Pullstart becomes difficult to pullthen you can remove the glowplug and clear the engine as shown onthe DVD included with HPI kits. The engine should then be easier toturn over.
If you follow the above steps then your One Way Bearing willthank you!
- 为什么我总是扫齿?
Stripping a spur gear (a flat spot on the plastic gear thatturns the drive train of the car) is not caused by the spur gear orpinion gear. A stripped spur gear is caused by the pinion gear nothaving the correct mesh with the spur gear and/or a possible loosemotor or engine screws.
- "失控保护"是什么?
A failsafe is a small electronic box that plugs into thethrottle channel of your receiver, then your throttle/brakeservo plugs into the fail safe. They are usually mounted into theradio box of a car.
A correctly set fail safe will return the throttle/brakeservo on your car to a position that you have pre-set in the eventof the transmitter or receiver batteries being flat, or the carbeing affected by interference. We advise that this positionshould be approximately 50% brakes for a nitro car, and neutral foran electric car. This will allow the car to come to a controlledstop.
Many of the newer cars are supplied with a 2.4GHz radiosystem which have a failsafe built into thereceiver that removes the need to fit an external failsafe.Full instructions for setting these up should be in the instructionmanual for your model.
- 我有一个坏掉的配件,我该怎么做?
All of our product lines undergo stringent quality checks duringboth the design and the manufacturing process. In the unlikelyevent that you do have a part that is either faulty or missing thenplease contact the After Sales Care team on 0845 00 66 160 or bysending a support request using this FAQ section - a member of theASC team will be happy to discuss with you the best way ofresolving your problem.
If you have broken a part of your car in use then you canpurchase any spares you need from your local model shop. You canuse the exploded diagram in the back of your instruction manual toidentify the part numbers for any items you may need.
- 电池充电需要多少时间?
The amount of time it takes to charge a battery pack varies.Each battery has a "milliampere capacity", this is thenumber printed on the package (1400, 1500, 1700, 2000, 2400, 3000,etc.). The higher the number, the more power the battery holds andthe longer it takes to charge the battery. Also, battery chargerscan charge at different "amp rates", or power output, soa battery that can charge at 6 amps will charge a particularbattery faster than a charger that is charging up that same batteryat 4 amps.
Some of the more powerful electric models use a Lithium Polymeror LiPo battery - these must be charged using a compatible chargersuch as the HPI Reactor 500, and we'd always advise charging thebatteries in line with their manufacturers recommendations. It'salso advisable to use a LiPo safe charging bag when charging LiPobatteries.
If you wanted to calculate how long your battery will take tocharge you would need to divide the Capacity of the battery by theCharge Current. For example an 1800mAh battery charged on a chargerwith a 300mA output (typical RTR charger) will take 1800/300 =6 Hours. Another example if you are using a fast charger like theReactor 500 you can up the Charge Current to 3.6A which turns thatinto 1800/3600 = 0.5 hours. Again please follow the BatteriesManufacturers recommendations for charging your battery!
- 我应该如何维护我的遥控车?
You can find many tips on maintenance and cleaning on ourtutorial section on www.hpieurope.com which answersquestions for electric, petrol and nitro car owners.

- 甲醇车和汽油车的区别是什么?
Petrol powered RC cars run on normal petrol mixed with 2-strokeoil.
These cars are usually large 1/5th scale models powered by anengine that is similar to a lawn mower engine but optimized for RCcars.
Nitro models run on special Model Nitro fuel and cannot be runon normal petrol. Model Nitro fuel is widely available in modelshops.
Nitro powered cars are the most common kind of RC cars with acombustion engine, and are available in a variety of differentscales.

- 什么是点火器?
A glow plug igniter is a battery-powered spring-loaded tube thatfits over the glow plug of an engine to heat up the glow plug untilit is red-hot (usually 2-3 seconds is all it takes). With fuel inthe carburettor, the pull starter is pulled or the starter boxengages the flywheel. If the engine is tuned properly, it willstart right up. Every R/C nitro engine needs a glow plugigniter to start.
- 我的发动机正常运转,但是我的车不动!
It's likely that your slipper clutch is loose. The slipperclutch is a torque limiting device that is intended to reducestress on the drivetrain of your car.
You can find a tutorial on www.hpieurope.com that details howyour slipper clutch should be set. If your car appears to bedifferent to the cars shown in the tutorial then you can refer toyour instruction manual for details of setting up the slipperclutch.
If your slipper clutch is set correctly and the car is still notmoving then it's likely that there is a problem with your clutch.Please refer to the instuction manual for your car for full detailson how to service and maintain your clutch.
- 你能帮我修车吗?
Unfortunately we don't offer a repair service ourselves,although your localmodel shop may be able to help you.
In many cases the repair that you need to carry out will bequite simple, and it will be quicker, cheaper and more rewardingfor you to carry out the work yourself. We're always happy to offerhelp or advice if you get stuck too, although all cars and mostparts are supplied with comprehensive instructions.
- 我看到你们视频里的各种飞坡镜头,我要如何做到同样的事情但是不摔坏我的车?
The easy answer to this one is practice! We'd suggest you startoff with small jumps until you are confident you can control thecar in flight and land it cleanly. Once you've mastered this thenyou can progress to larger jumps. Don't over-estimate whatyou can manage though, remember that the drivers you see on ourvideos all have many years of experience driving these cars. Tryingto copy them straight away may result in damage to yourcar.
Once you have your car in the air you can use the throttle tocontrol it; appying more throttle will make the rear wheels of thecar drop, while applying the brake will cause the front wheels todrop. It's better to try and land the car on all four wheels at thesame time where possible, to minimise the risk of damage to thecar.
- 求助!我需要找到我车子的说明书!
The instruction manuals for most of our cars andaccesories are available for download - just find which modelyou have and the instructions download will be underneath thepicture!
- 我能用我的车比赛吗?
Yes you can! Most clubs in the UK are affiliated to the BRCA(British Radio Car Association) who list clubs and the classesthat they race on their website.
You can also ask at your local model shop tosee if they know of any local clubs. You'll probably find that manyof the staff race themselves and will be happy to offer help andadvice.

- 我有一台已经停产的车,我还能买到它的配件吗?
We aim to keep parts for our cars available for at least twoyears after the car has been discontinued, although in many casesparts will continue to be available for much longer than that.
Where possible we will always try to suggest an alternative toany part that has been discontinued, or any other option parts thatmay be suitable.
Unfortunately if we list a part as discontinued and list noalternative it means that we have no more stock of the partand have no more available to us, so would not be able to supplyit. Some of our stockists may still have the parts in stock though,so we'd suggest searching for the part on Google or Ebay to see ifyou can obtain the part that way.
- Hpi Also Distribute Maverick - Does This Have The Same Warranty?
HPI cars are supplied with an industry leading two yearwarranty, while the lower priced Maverick range have the more usual90 day warranty supplied with the car.
Maverick users still have access to the same experiencedtechnical support that is available to HPI users though, so feelfree to get in contact with your local Maverick distributor for anyhelp or advice you might need.
- 我需要保留购买凭证吗?
In a word - yes! In order to make any claim against yourwarranty your distributor will ask for you to provide a copy ofyour purchase receipt, so we'd suggest keeping it in a safe placeafter you've purchased the car.
- 保修涵盖范围是什么?
All HPI cars are supplied with a two year component and labourwarranty against any failures that happen as a result of amanufacturing or a design defect.
If you feel that you've experienced a premature failure of apart please contact either the shop that you have purchased yourcar from or our distributor in the country that the car waspurchased from. If you need help identifying the distributor thenyou can find them on www.hpieurope.com
Once you've been in contact with your distributor they will behappy to let you know what they can do to help resolve yourproblem.
If you'd like further information on our warranty then you canobtain a copy of the warranty document supplied with all HPI carsby letting us know and we can get one emailed over or postedout for you!
- 我的天线管对于天线来说太长了?
During the refresh all HPI cars were updated and arenow provided with a 2.4GHz radio. These radio systems havemuch shorter antenna wires than the standard 27MHz radios that wereused before. The Antenna tube provided with your model stillcaters for the 27MHz radio therefore it is much longer than itneeds to be. To resolve this all you need to do is to cut the tubeso its a perfect fit for the wire. A perfect fit would be a coupleof millimeters shorter than wire so it hangs over a little. This isthen protected by the antenna cap.

Craig Davies Magic
Recent review: I saw Craig's videos on the Poptop website and thought he could be just right for our Golden Wedding party, where we had a range go guests from old friends from the past to grandchildren. He was all I had hoped for and more. He arrived in good time and set up his act and told me he was ready whenever we were - and I just felt he could read who we were and what was required and we were just simply in good hands. His family magic act was clever and funny, and he got the right people up to the front as his helpers and yet drew us all into the show. Everyone was entertained and laughing. then he switched to his close-up magic act with amazing tricks, and he could see where there was someone perhaps between conversations or otherwise not so involved and bring them back into the event. He really worked hard the whole time he was with us and got round to everyone there. Several of our guests commented to me on how Craig had really added to our party. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a clever and funny magician for their party or event.

More companies seeking to create internal disaster recovery centers
More and more companies are looking to create in-house disaster recovery facilities.
More and more companies today are rethinking the decision to use "hot site" vendors for disaster recovery and are working toward the creation of internal data recovery facilities instead, analysts report.
Damian Walch, vice president of consulting at T-Systems and a speaker at TechTarget's 2003 Data Center Futures conference, says the main reason for this trend is that many companies feel outsiders simply can't be trusted to recover complex and increasingly interdependent systems quickly enough after an outage.
Walch said some other reasons companies are beginning to look inward for their recovery needs include the increasing price of hot site vendors' technical support and floor space, and the lack of control businesses have when it comes to accessing the vendors' facilities.
"Traditionally, companies went to a commercial hot site vendor like Comdisco or SunGard," Walch said. "But now they're realizing that, because of some of the dynamics in [the disaster recovery] industry, hot site vendors can no longer meet their requirements."
One of the things businesses should consider when deciding if in-house data recovery is a viable option is the number of applications that require complete recovery within six hours of an outage. Companies that have at least two applications they can't live without make good candidates for in-sourcing disaster recovery, Walch said.
Another consideration is the amount of excess floor space and server capacity a company has for the testing and development of new applications. "If you have test and development systems, what many companies do is relocate them to an alternate location and use them for recovery," Walch said.
One of the challenges associated with in-sourcing data recovery is making the business case to company executives. To help bring the case together, Walch said businesses should perform a cost benefit analysis of internal versus external data recovery.
"What I do is look at all the cost items and measure those things in an internal approach versus an external approach," Walch said. "Cost items include the price of hardware acquisition, or the subscription rates for various hardware, network costs, the staff itself, floor space and test time."

Check the Internet Explorer toolbar
- Start Internet Explorer.
- In the browser's toolbar, you should see the Bonjour icon (a swirling icon). If no Bonjour icon is present, the software is not installed on your computer (see "Uninstall and reinstall," below).
- If the icon is present, click it to display a window that lists Bonjour services available on the network. If you see this window, the software is functioning normally.
If Bonjour stops working as expected, the easiest way to get it functioning again is to uninstall and reinstall the software (see below).
Grab a menu from the Explorer Bar
If your Internet Explorer browser window doesn't display a toolbar to check for the Bonjour icon (the toolbar may be disabled on some computers), scope out the Explorer Bar submenu instead. You can use the Bonjour menu item to duplicate the function of its toolbar icon. To find it:
- Click the View menu and point to Explorer Bar.
- A submenu should appear with Bonjour listed as a menu item if the software is installed.
- Click Bonjour to display a browser panel on the left that lists Bonjour services available on the network.
Uninstall and reinstall
If none of the items described above are present after you've installed Bonjour, try uninstalling and reinstalling the software.
- Go to the Control Panel and click on Add or Remove Programs.
- Select Bonjour from the list.
- Click Change/Remove.
- Choose Remove, then follow the onscreen instructions.
- Reinstall Bonjour for Windows from the Apple website, or the media on which it was supplied to you.

It's March, which means the madness is right around the corner, as the nation's best teams will do battle to earn a berth in Columbus for the Final Four on March 30 and April 1.
It also means it's a great time to sign up for the 2018 Women's Tournament Challenge. After the brackets are revealed on March 12, come back to make your picks for the NCAA women's tournament and follow along with the action when games tip off March 16 all the way to the Final Four.
The object of the game is simple, especially for those who have played in bracket games through the years: Select the teams you think will win each of the 63 tournament games, from the first round all the way through the championship game.
You'll get points for each game you pick correctly, with the points increasing during each round of the tournament. Remember to make all of your picks before the first round tips off, but after that, just tune in to the ESPN family of networks to watch all of the action unfold. (All women's tournament games will be on ESPN, ESPN2, ESPN3 and WatchESPN.)
If you score the most points, you'll have a chance to win the grand prize of a $10,000 Amazon Gift Card.
Will Geno Auriemma and UConn dominate on their way to a 12th national title? It won't be easy with elite teams like Mississippi State and Baylor in contention this year.
You can fill out up to 25 brackets, so you can mix it up when making your picks. Will you decide to go chalk and pick all of the favorites? Or are you more apt to go upset-happy, or even pick teams based on mascots or school colors? Whatever you decide, it's all about having fun and a rooting interest in all of the games.
Best of luck as you take your shot at women's bracket glory!

I have a floating point raster and have applied a conditional to it in order to only extract the positive values, so there are 'no data' "holes" in the raster. I simply need to sum the values from this raster and output it as a number.
I came across this thread, which I'm sure some of you will recognize. Has anyone developed a working solution? I'm working in Arc10 and making use of ArcObjects if necessary.
EDIT: I've included a VB.NET version of @Kirk's C# code. It's provided as is, but it should be a good starting point if it doesn't already completely satisfy its purpose.

Four Houston firefighters have died and another five people were injured in a massive hotel fire on the city's southwest side Friday afternoon, city officials say.
At about noon, firefighters were called to the Southwest Inn on the 6800 block of Southwest Freeway after a fire broke out inside the inn's restaurant and quickly engulfed much of the hotel.
Three of the firefighters were killed at the scene, while the fourth died at a hospital, according to the office of Houston Mayor Annise Parker and the local medical examiner.
The latest news from around North Texas.
According to Jeff Canyon, president of the Houston Professional Fire Fighters Association, field reports indicate that the firefighters were caught in a roof collapse.
"I don't know if that was folks outside next to the structure or inside when it collapsed, but the collapse is going to be the cause," he said after visiting with firefighters at Memorial Hermann Hospital.
The firefighters have been identified as Capt. EMT Matthew Renaud, 35; Engineer Operator EMT Robert Bebee, 41; Firefighter EMT Robert Garner, 29; and Probationary Firefighter Anne Sullivan, 24, KPRC reported.
Five other firefighters were injured and are being treated at three Houston hospitals for chest pains or leg injuries. One is listed in critical condition, and the four others are stable.
"It's a very sad day for the Houston Fire Department and the city of Houston as a whole," said Janice Evans, a spokeswoman for Parker.
When a flag-draped body was removed from the smoldering remains around 4 p.m., some four hours after the blaze broke out, firefighters -- working in swirling winds, steamy humidity and temperatures exceeding 90 degrees -- paused and saluted. A procession of ambulances, under police motorcycle escort, left the scene about 90 minutes later and made a ceremonial drive past the fallen firefighters' station, by then draped in black.
"We will provide appropriate services to our fallen firefighters and full honors, but there is nothing we can do that will heal the hurt that we all feel today," Parker said. "I ask for every Houstonian to offer their prayers to the families of these fallen firefighters, and also to think about what the job of firefighter is and the dangers they face every day."
Flames could be seen shooting through the roof and sending plumes of smoke over the freeway, obstructing the vision of nearby drivers. Ahead of rush hour Friday afternoon, white smoke could still be seen rising from the shell of what remained of the hotel.
About 150 firefighters took two hours to put out the five-alarm fire, according to the Associated Press, though the fire was still smoldering several hours later.
The cause of the fire is not yet known.
So far this year at least 19 first responders have been killed in the line of duty in Texas. That number includes the 14 first responders killed in West, Dallas-Fire Rescue's Stanley Wilson, who was killed in an apartment building fire May 20, and the four Houston firefighters killed Friday.
The loss of life is believed the single worst in the history of the 116-year-old Houston Fire Department, Evans said.
The department had counted 64 firefighters lost since the city began paying firefighters in 1895. Twice previously, two firefighters were killed in a single fire, in 1953 and most recently in 2000. Three firefighters died in 1929 when a train slammed broadside into their engine.

PAMO by Sheena Allen Apps
PAMO, which stands for Picture And Money Organizer, gives users the chance to keep up with their money transactions and receipts all in one app. For example, you go to Wal-Mart on 7/7/2011 and spend $59.34. You go to the PAMO app, subtract $59.34 from your current balance AND take a picture of your receipt. Three weeks later, you can't remember how much you paid for itemX and you can't find your receipt to figure out how much it was. This happens all the time and this is the problem that PAMO solves. You can now go to the transaction from Wal-Mart on 7/7/2011 and view the picture of the receipt you took. You can view it on the app or even email it to yourself to print out. Either way, you losing your receipt is no longer a major problem. The picture option is not only for receipts, but could also be used to take a picture of the product your purchase, a picture of the check you received or wrote, any many other uses.
- Unlimited accounts and transactions. In addition, we allow you to separate your personal and business accounts (if you are interested in using both). There is no longer a need to have two separate apps for your business and personal accounts because PAMO allows you to be able to separate the two within one app.
- Color codes per account type. Be able to identify your accounts with a color (this is optional). For example, you may assign blue to your checking accounts, green to your saving accounts, and red to your time deposit account.
- turn Reconcile on or off
- turn Security Code on or off. If your Security Code is on, you must enter a 4 digit code in order to access your accounts.
- Search feature to easily search through your transactions in all your accounts.
- Order your transactions by Date, Clearance, or Amount
- For each transaction, be able to assign the transaction to a category. By visiting the 'Category' page, you will be able to see the amount and percentage of money you have spent in each category. (You are free to add any category that is not already part of the app by default)
- Print off transactions. This includes printing off the picture that has been taken/assigned to each transaction.

New findings about the prion protein and its interaction with the immune system
(Medical Xpress) -- Scrapie is a neurodegenerative disease which can function as a model for other diseases caused by an accumulation of proteins resulting in tissue malformations (proteinpathies), such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease.
Many questions regarding these diseases still remain unanswered. A new doctoral study has uncovered a number of factors relating to the uptake of the prion protein (PrPSc) associated with the development of this disease and how this protein interacts with the immune cells in the intestines.
Scrapie in sheep belongs to a group of diseases called Transmissible spongiform encephalopathies(TSE) because they are transmitted between individual animals and produce sponge-like, degenerative changes in the brain. These diseases afflict not only sheep but also cattle (BSE), deer (CWD) and humans (CJD). They can to a certain extent also be transmitted between species, as was the case during the 1990s, when over 200 people were infected by food and contracted CJD.
TSE, otherwise known as prion diseases, are thought to be transmitted by means of a diseased variant of a protein, the prion protein, which is a normal component of body cells and is most prolific in the brain. Generally speaking, prion diseases may be infectious, hereditary or occur sporadically/spontaneously. Disease arises when the normal prion protein mutates to the diseased variant, which differs from the healthy prion proteins by its change in structure. The body's cells have difficulty in breaking down this prion protein due to its different structure, and it therefore accumulates.
Since PrPSc is to be found in the lymphatic tissue of the intestinal system at an early stage of the disease, it is assumed that transmission occurs via the gastrointestinal tract. During her doctoral research, veterinary scientist Caroline Piercey Åkesson studied the uptake of the prion protein in the intestines, thereby throwing new light on processes occurring during the early phase of the disease's development. Contrary to earlier assumptions, she demonstrated by means of immunoelectron microscopy that the prion protein responsible for the disease is not transported directly from the intestines to lymphatic tissue associated with the intestines. On the contrary, she showed that the protein passed freely or in lymphatic cells outside the organised lymphatic tissue in the intestines.
Dendritic cells are presumed to function as "gatekeepers" which determine what the body can tolerate and which immune defence reactions it needs to instigate when confronted with foreign substances. One of the objectives of Åkesson's project was therefore to examine the interaction of dendritic cells with prion protein uptake. Firstly, it was necessary to characterise dendritic cells in healthy sheep intestines and secondly, to investigate which types of cells were associated with the uptake of the prion protein.
Her findings showed that it was not dendritic cells, but macrophages, which were mainly responsible for the uptake of the protein. Åkesson's study revealed that the prion protein makes use of the normal physiological uptake channel for macromolecules in the intestines and that this may have a significant effect on the body's immunological surveillance system. One possible consequence is that immuno-tolerance is stimulated, thus impeding a normal immuno reaction against the prion protein absorbed via the intestines.
Future studies which can reveal how immunological cells are transported and how the prion protein is processed in the body will be of great interest, not only in order to provide more knowledge about scrapie, but also about other neurodegenerative proteinpathies, both in humans and animals.
Cand.med.vet. Caroline Piercey Åkesson defended her doctoral thesis on 20th December 2011 at The Norwegian School of Veterinary Science. The thesis is entitled: Studies on the uptake of prions and their early interaction with immune cells of the sheep gut.

All My Loving (WTB)
Tell us why:
All My Loving was my first favourite Beatles song, then Can't Buy Me Love, and then Thank You Girl. I first heard Thank You Girl after Can't Buy Me Love was released. Therefore I thought it was newer than Can't Buy Me Love. People in North America learned the Beatles songs in a different order. And maybe thought the songs were created in that order. I know I did. I thought, "I Want To Hold Your Hand," was the first song the Beatles wrote. I first heard the Beatle songs that were played on the Ed Sullivan. (Feb 1964) And then Please Please Me, From Me To You,(March or early April) Can't Buy Me Love,(Late April) Twist And Shout, and Thank You Girl.(Early May) Love Me Do. (Late May) My Bonnie (June.)

the kids started school in august, and here are a few photos from their first day!
alanna as a sophomore!
she went back august 13th... early, i know. her school follows nc state university schedule, so it is not the same as public school. but starting early means she gets out early!
(we spent hours coloring her hair, and everyone loved it!)
the first few weeks of school were pretty hard for her, loads of homework and new teachers to get used to. she still has hours of homework every day, but she seems to be doing better now. this is the second year of her five year early college high school program, and we are so proud of how much she has accomplished already. that is one smart kid!
malcolm started preschool on august 28th. he had so much fun and really seems to be enjoying it so far. his school is arts-based and is very hands-on. i'm very thankful that he was chosen to be student there.
he has class two days a week, and stays for lunch bunch on one of them. he is learning to eat lunch on his own (without mom) in preparation for kindergarten next year.
and alanna already had her school photos taken. mom and vicky, i will get you your copies asap! :)

KOMO: After five tours in Afghanistan, a retired marine flew home Thursday to a rousing reunion with his very first partner. There was tail wagging, ball throwing and big, sloppy, wet kisses.
"I'm really nervous," former Marine Sgt. Deano Miller said as he waited at Sea-Tac Airport.
He's been waiting four years. Four years to be re-united with Thor, the friend that kept him and his colleagues safe every day of their 2010 tour in Afghanistan.
"I'm just so excited," Miller said. "I didn't think this was ever going to happen."
Thor is an explosives sniffing expert and Miller was his very first handler. Together they led patrols through Afghanistan, usually on point, searching for improvised explosive devices, IEDs. The pair ate together, slept together, patrolled together.
"I love that dog," Miller said.
After they completed that first tour in Afghanistan, Miller came home, but Thor had to go back. "He was my best friend, he was my everything, I didn't go anywhere without him, and then when I had to leave him I felt like I abandoned him," Miller said.
Thor has done five tours and has had four more handlers after Miller. Now Thor is retired — he left Afghanistan in October, and flew home Thursday from North Carolina to be re-united with his first partner.
Miller was nearly speechless as Thor walked off the escalator with a volunteer from Mission K9 Rescue, Kathileene Anderson, who brought Thor home. A mass of cameras, people, and the long flight left Thor unable to settle. But after Miller took him for a quick walk outside to a dog-friendly area at the airport he was ready to chase a ball, mouth his favorite stuffed animal and pay attention to his first friend and last home.
Miller and his fiance live in Tacoma with their two other dogs, Tevin, a Siberian Husky and Doug, a yellow lab/golden retriever mix like Thor. Miller's fiancee Tomi Gallegos says they're all ready for him.
"He has his own kennel and food bowl, water bowl, we're not worried about dog beds because they all sleep in our bed anyway," she said.
Volunteer Anderson was tearful at having to leave Thor behind, saying it was an honor to help two heroes reunite. "I feel like it's a miracle," Anderson said.
The American Humane Association paid for Thor's flight home. The organization estimates that each military working dog saves the lives of approximately 150 to 200 service members.
