U.S. sailors in second
WEYMOUTH, England - After a two-hour wait for wind on Portland Harbour, racing finally got underway on Day 4 of the London 2012 Paralympic Games sailing regatta. Jen French and JP Creignou had another impressive day in the SKUD-18 event (two person keelboat), and moved up to second overall. In the 2.4mR (one person keelboat), Mark LeBlanc stormed back with a pair of keeper race finishes to end the day in sixth, while Paul Callahan, Tom Brown and Bradley Johnson moved into podium position, 3rd, in the Sonar (three person keelboat). Two races were held in the SKUD-18 and 2.4mR, with one completed in the sonar.
SKUD-18: Jen French and JP Creignou
Jen French (St. Petersburg, Fla.) and JP Creignou (St. Petersburg, Fla.) won the day's opening race in the two person keelboat event (SKUD-18). "Not a bad way to start the day after two abandoned races," said French.
Although French and Creignou were in leading positions in both of the abandoned races, she pointed out that the day worked out in their favor. "You'd rather have the race committee do a fair job at the end of the day," she said.
Sailors returned to the dock in the early evening. "It's a long day and we'll have a good long sleep tonight," said French.
In the second race, race 8, they collected a fourth and are now tied on points with British team of Alexandra Rickham and Niki Birrell, who are in third place. Daniel Fitzgibbon and Liesl Tesch of Australia are four points ahead in first place.
2.4 Metre: Mark LeBlanc
In the one person keelboat event (2.4mR), Mark LeBlanc (New Orleans, La.) had his strongest day of racing, to date, collecting two third places.
"It was a little tricky waiting around forever," said LeBlanc. "The starts and stops were frustrating. We finally got two races off and I'm happy with how we did. We had clean starts and sailed well, and finished well."
With all three events held on the same race course, none were immune to the shifting wind that caused delays. "It's frustrating at times, but it happens," he said. "It's not in your control and you have to take what you get. That's sailboat racing."
After a disappointing day Monday, LeBlanc was happy with today's performance and positioning. "I'm moving up, which is good," he said. "That's the plan."
Sonar: Paul Callahan, Tom Brown and Bradley Johnson
Although there was only one race held in the three person keelboat (Sonar) event, Team USA's Paul Callahan (Cape Coral, Fla./Newport R.I.), Tom Brown (Castine, Maine) and Bradley Johnson (Pompano Beach, Fla.) held their podium position. They finished race 7 in fifth place and are now third overall in the 14-boat fleet. Racing began, but was then abandoned due to unstable wind direction.
"It was one of the shiftiest days I've ever sailed in a decade, but full credit goes to my team mates Tom and Bradley who have been fantastic all week," said Callahan. "We've been gelling as a team and peaking at the right time. We handled the breeze and the shifts well. It was nice to finally sail a good hard race once the breeze filled in."
The Team is four points behind second-place team from Germany and 15 points from the first-place team from The Netherlands.
On Wed., Sept. 5 the race committee will run three races in the three person keelboat (sonar), with two races in the one person keelboat (2.4mR) and two person keelboat (SKUD-18).

As soon as the New Year�s ball drops in Times Square, it�s as like we have a brand new start. The previous year is behind us and a fresh, new calendar is placed on our desk.
As soon as the New Year�s ball drops in Times Square, it�s as like we have a brand new start. The previous year is behind us and a fresh, new calendar is placed on our desk.
People vow they will change and make obscure resolutions � losing weight, working out more, finding Mr. or Mrs. Right, being more responsible.
A resolution is a goal, a bet, a declaration, a deal.
As we look back, on Dec. 31, some may have kept their goal. Others may have lost it within the first month of the new year.
Here�s my New Year�s resolution: To make the Sun Journal�s sports section better than it was in 2013, and to make our sports section interesting for the readers of Craven, Pamlico and Jones County.
By doing that, we will provide a good mixture local sports and national stories.
I plan on keeping that promise.
We are, first and foremost, a community newspaper, so most of our attention is directed toward our talented local athletes.
Our objective is to cover our area schools equally. They all need our coverage.
As provided, and as space allows, we will distribute constant content on sports within the state � East Carolina, North Carolina, Duke, N.C. State, Wake Forest, Carolina Hurricanes, Carolina Panthers and Charlotte Bobcats.
We will look for ways to have more content in our section.
This calendar year, I expect to come up with new and different story ideas, something that informs more than the typical and boring X�s and O�s.
What makes sports great are the side stories. How did they become the team�s leading scorer? Do they have an interesting story? How do they juggle a successful grade point average with a booming sports season?
Those are stories people want to read.
I also want to go outside the box and write stories on the not-so mainstream sports, and community events.
Plus, I am always open to hearing ideas and suggestions.
We had some amazing stories in 2013, and I hope the new year is just as thrilling.
Havelock High concluded last year with its third straight state football championship. We had the death of local legend Walt Bellamy; New Bern�s girls soccer team made a run to the state semifinals; West Craven graduate Justin Hardy broke records for the East Carolina Pirates football team; New Bern grad Kevin Reddick went undrafted, and then signed with the New Orleans Saints and is in the postseason. We had a state wrestling champion, three area basketball teams reach the regionals and Pamlico�s football team go from one win in 2011 to the third round of the playoffs this past season.
It was a remarkable year.
If 2014 is just as spectacular, I will be excited.
Our job, and my responsibility as sports editor, is to put out the best product possible.
I guarantee I will keep that resolution.

I was cleaning and caught my duster on my bathroom vanity light fixture. I must have pulled a bit too hard to release the duster because I managed to pull one of the frosted glass shades off the vanity.
How can I find who the manufacturer of the fixture is so I can try to find a replacement shade? Where is the manufacturer information stamped on a light fixture such as this?

text: PROBLEM: Los Angeles County experiences warm, sunny weather year round, making it a challenge to find a coating that will retain its color and not chalk and fade. Parks Painting, a paint contractor in Los Angeles, was working on a local shopping center's metal roof and was having a hard time getting a uniform finish. The previous coating was not able to withstand the sunlight and suffered severe oxidation. The roof was inspected by a local Rust-Oleum representative and a product was recommended to achieve a smooth finish that would restore the roof's appearance and withstand the environmental conditions. SOLUTION: The surface was primed using Rust-Oleum's Zinsser Smart Prime to fill the gaps and leave an even surface for the topcoat. Sierra Performance MetalMax DTM Acrylic Enamel, a water-based acrylic that provides excellent corrosion and humidity resistance, was then applied as the topcoat. The combination of the primer and topcoat solved the issue of oxidation and turned the previous sandpaper-like roof into a smooth finish. Today, the metal roof panels still have a beautiful, uniform finish and there have not been any issues with chalking or fading since the original project.

|Machine Translation (MT) is the task of translating a document from a source language (e.g., Chinese) into a target language (e.g., English) via computer. State-of-the-art statistical approaches to MT use large collections of human-translated documents as training material, gathering statistics on the patterns of correspondence between languages according to the features specified by the translation model. Using this bilingual translation model in conjunction with a target language model, created by gathering statistics from a large monolingual corpus, a new document in the source language can be automatically translated into its target-language equivalent with surprising accuracy. ❧ Much MT research focuses on types of the patterns and features to include in a translation model. Recent statistical MT models have used syntax trees to enforce grammaticality, but the currently popular tree substitution models only memorize sequences of words or constituents, specifying exactly what phrases to use and exactly what trees are grammatical, which does not generalize well. Adding the operation of tree-adjoining provides the freedom to splice additional information into an existing grammatical tree. An adjoining translation model allows general, linguistically-motivated translation patterns to be learned without the clutter of endless variations of optional material. The appropriate modifiers, such as adjectives, adverbs, and prepositional phrases, can be grafted into these core patterns as needed to translate details. We show that the increased generalization power provided by adjoining, when used carefully, improves MT quality without becoming computationally intractable. ❧ In this thesis, we describe challenges encountered by both word-sequence-based and syntax-tree-based MT systems today, and present an in-depth, quantitative comparison of both models. Then we describe a novel model for statistical MT which addresses these challenges using a synchronous tree-adjoining grammar. We introduce a method of converting these grammars to a weakly equivalent tree transducer for decoding. Then we present a method for learning the rules and associated probabilities of this grammar from aligned tree/string training data, and empirically analyze important characteristics of the resulting model, considering and evaluating many variations. Finally, our results show that adjoining delivers a consistent improvement over a baseline statistical syntax-based MT model on both medium and large-scale MT tasks using several language pairs.

We are always worried about the size of our sketches. At AK we like to count stuff, and if you can count stuff with smaller sketches then you can count more stuff! We constantly have conversations about how we might be able to make our sketches, and subsequently our datastores, smaller. During our science summit, Muthu pointed us at some of the new work in Frugal Streaming. The concept of Frugal Streaming is to process your data as it comes, O(N), but severely limit the amount of memory you are using for your sketch, and by "severely" they mean using perhaps one or two pieces of information. Needless to say, we were interested!
The concept of Frugal Streaming reminds me of an algorithm for finding the dominant item in a stream, MJRTY written by Boyer and Moore in 1980. (This paper has a very interesting history). The MJRTY algorithm sets out to solve the problem of finding the majority element in a stream (an element comprising more than 50% of the stream). Moore proposed to solve this by using only 2 pieces of information and a single scan of the data.
Imagine you have a stream of names ("matt", "timon", "matt", "matt", "rob", "ben", …) and you wanted to know if any name appeared in more than half the stream. Boyer and Moore proposed the following:
count = 0 majority = "" for val in stream: if count == 0: majority = val count = 1 elif val == majority: count += 1 else: count -= 1 print majority if count > 0 else "no majority!"
If you're anything like me you will go through a few phases: "That can't work!", "Wait, that works?!", "Nah, this data will break that", "Holy sh*t that works!!". If you think about it for a minute you realize that it HAS to work. If any element in the stream comprises more than half the stream values there is no way to get to the end and have a counter of zero. To convince yourself suppose the majority element only comprises the first half + 1 of your N-length stream. The counter would count up to and then start decrementing until all N values have been seen, which would leave the counter at *. This will hold regardless of the ordering of the elements in the stream. A simple simulation is provided by the authors. Philippe Flajolet apparently "liked this algorithm very much and called it the 'gang war', because in his mind, every element is a gang member, and members of opposite gangs are paired in a standoff, and shoot each other. The gang members remaining are the more numerous"**.
The astute among you will have noticed that this algorithm only works if there is, in fact, a majority element. If there is not then it will fail. A stream such as {"matt","matt","timon","timon","rob"} would result in the algorithm returning "rob". In practice you need ways of ensuring that your stream does indeed have a majority element or have a guarantee ahead of time.
* Note, that formula is for an even length stream. For a stream of odd length the counter will indeed be at 1. Proof is left to the reader.
** Thanks to Jeremie Lumbroso for his insightful feedback on the history of MJRTY and his memory of Philippe's explanation.
One "bit" – Frugal-1U
In their Frugal Streaming paper, Qiang and Muthu decided to see if they could find a frugal solution to the streaming quantile problem. The streaming quantiles problem is one I enjoy quite a bit and I have used it as an interview question for potential candidates for some time. Simply stated it is: "How would you find the quantiles of a stream of numbers in O(N) with limited memory?" There are a few different approaches to solve this problem, with the most widely known probably being Count-Min Sketch. However, with Count-Min you need to keep your keys around in order to query the sketch. There are other approaches to this question as well.
Instead of focusing on quantiles generally, Qiang and Muthu's first solution is a frugal way to find the median of a stream. As with MJRTY above, I'll just write it down and see how you react:
median_est = 0 for val in stream: if val > median_est: median_est += 1 elif val < median_est: median_est -= 1
Granted, the above is just for the median, where the stream is much longer than the value of the median, but it is so simple that I don't think I would have ever considered this approach to the problem. The extension to quantiles is equally as shocking. If you are trying to find the 75th percentile of the data stream you do the same as above but increment up randomly 75% of the time and decrement down randomly 25% of the time:
quantile_75 = 0 for val in stream: r = random() if val > quantile_75 and r > 1 - 0.75: quantile_75 += 1 elif val < quantile_75 and r > 0.75: quantile_75 -= 1
As the paper states:
The trick to generalize median estimation to any -quantile estimation is that not every stream item seen will cause an update. If the current stream item is larger than estimation, an increment update will be triggered only with probability . The rationale behind it is that if we are estimating -quantile, and if the current estimate is at stream's true -quantile, we will expect to see stream items larger than the current estimate with probability .
Finding Quantiles With Two "bits"- Frugal-2U
There are a few obvious drawbacks to the above algorithm. Since we are only incrementing by 1 each time, the time to converge is linear and our initial guess of zero could be very bad. Secondly, and by design, the algorithm has no memory, can fluctuate wildly and, as they show in the paper, the estimates can drift very far away. (Note: while it is extremely unlikely that the estimates will drift far from the correct values the paper has some very loose bounds on how bad it can drift. See Lemma 3 in the paper.) They suggest a few improvements over Frugal-1U where you essentially include a varying step (instead of just incrementing by 1 every time) and 1 "bit" so you know which way you incremented in the last update. The intuition here is that if you have been consistently incrementing up or down for the last few elements of a stream then you are probably "far" away from the quantile in question. If this is the case we can speed up convergence time by incrementing a larger amount. The Frugal-2U algorithm:
def frugal_2u(stream, m = 0, q = 0.5, f = constantly_one): step, sign = 1, 1 for item in stream: if item > m and random() > 1 - q: # Increment the step size if and only if the estimate keeps moving in # the same direction. Step size is incremented by the result of applying # the specified step function to the previous step size. step += f(step) if sign > 0 else -1 * f(step) # Increment the estimate by step size if step is positive. Otherwise, # increment the step size by one. m += step if step > 0 else 1 # Mark that the estimate increased this step sign = 1 # If the estimate overshot the item in the stream, pull the estimate back # and re-adjust the step size. if m > item: step += (item - m) m = item # If the item is less than the stream, follow all of the same steps as # above, with signs reversed. elif item < m and random() > q: step += f(step) if sign < 0 else -1 * f(step) m -= step if step > 0 else 1 sign = -1 if m < item: step += (m - item) m = item # Damp down the step size to avoid oscillation. if (m - item) * sign < 0 and step > 1: step = 1
You can play around with the 1U and 2U algorithms in the simulation below.
As usual, there are a few interesting tidbits as well. If you read the paper you will see that they define the updates to step as a function. This means they are allowing many different types of increments to step. For example, instead of increasing the size of step by 1 each time we could increase it by 10 or even have it increase multiplicatively. They do talk about some uses of different updates to step but there is no analysis around this (yet) and they restrict all of the work in the paper to step increments of 1. We offer a few different step update functions in the simulation and they indeed do interesting things. Further exploration is definitely needed to get some insights here.
A non-obvious thing about the step variable is how it behaves under decrements. My initial thought was that step would get large if your current estimate was far below the actual value (thus allowing you to approach it faster from below) and that step would get to be a large negative number if your current estimate was very far above the actual value. This turns out to just be flat wrong. The negative updates to step have the effect of stabilizing the estimate (notice when step is negative that the updates to your estimates are always ± 1 ). If you read the algorithm closely you will see that step decrements when you consistently alternate up and down updates. This behavior occurs when the estimate is close to the actual value which causes step to become a very large negative number. And I mean VERY large. In practice we have seen this number as small as for some simulations.
One of the first things I thought of when I saw this sketch was to use it as a monitoring tool. Specifically, perhaps it could be used to replace the monitoring we use on our application server response times. It turns out that using this sketch for monitoring introduces some very interesting issues. So far, we have mostly talked about what I will call "static streams". These are streams that have data in them which is pulled consistently from some static underlying distribution (as in the examples above). However, what if the underlying distribution changes? For example, what if one of our servers all of the sudden starts responding with slower response times? Does this frugal sketch enable you to quickly figure out that something has broken and fire off an alarm with high confidence? Well, in some ways this is an identical problem to cold start: how long does it take for an initial guess to reach a stable quantile? Unfortunately, there is no easy way to know when you have reached "equilibrium" and this makes identifying when an underlying distribution change has occurred difficult as well. The paper ends with an open challenge:
… as our experiments and insights indicate, frugal streaming algorithms work with so little memory of the past that they are adaptable to changes in the stream characteristics. It will be of great interest to understand this phenomenon better.
The paper shows some interesting experiments with changing data, but I agree with Qiang: we need to understand these algorithms better before I swap out all of our server monitoring tools (and our ops team would kill me). However, since these are so simple to implement and so small, we can easily deploy a few tests and see how the results compare "in the field" (you can play around with this by changing the underlying stream distribution in our simulation above.)
The frugal quantile algorithms proposed in the paper are fascinating. It is a very interesting turn in the sketching literature and Qiang and Muthu's creativity really comes across. I am very interested in getting some real world uses out of this sketch and am excited to see what other applications we (and Qiang!) can think of. Many thanks to Muthu, Qiang Ma and Jeremie Lumbroso for all their help!
- Variability: While the bounds on the accuracy of these algorithms seem wide to me, clearly in real world experiments we see much better performance than the guaranteed bounds in the paper. In fact, the error bounds in the paper are dependent on the size of the stream and not fixed.
- Size of step: A potential gotcha is the size of the step variable. Depending on your update function it indeed seems possible for this value to get below -MAXINT. Clearly a real implementation would need some error checking.
- Cold Start: One more gotcha is that you have no real way of knowing when you are near the quantile in question. For instance, starting your estimate at zero and measuring a true median which is 100,000,000,000 will take a long time to "catch up" to this value. There are a few ways to limit this, some of which are discussed in the paper. One way is to try and make a sane guess up front (especially if you know something about the distribution) and another is to start your guess with the value from the last counter. For instance, suppose you are in a monitoring situation and you are computing means over the course of a day. It would make sense to start tomorrow's estimate with yesterdays final value.
- Accuracy: And, lastly, there is some interesting dependence on "atomicity". Meaning, the estimates in some sense depend on how "large" the actual values are. In both, your minimum step size is 1. If my median in the stream is, say, 6 then this "atomic" update of 1 causes high relative fluctuation. It seems in real world examples you would like to balance the size of the thing you are estimating with the speed of approach of the algorithm. This could lead you to estimate latencies in microseconds rather than milliseconds for instance. All of this points to the fact that there are a bunch of real world engineering questions that need to be answered and thought about before you actually go and implement a million frugal sketches throughout your organization.

I think everyone is familiar with the adorable little fish that hangs around with Ariel in Disney's "The Little Mermaid". As I browsed through all the drawings I did in the Disney section, I realized that I never did a tutorial on "how to draw Flounder", step by step. Despite his name, he is definitely not a flounder fish. Instead Flounder is a bright colored tropical fish called a surgeonfish. Since Ariel doesn't really relate to anyone in her underwater kingdom, Flounder plays the role of being her best friend. Later in the flick Sebastian ends up becoming her friend, and early in the movie or storyline, Ariel and Flounder associate with a land animal named Scuttle. He is a seagull that has almost no brain, but he is very caring of his friends. As for Flounder, even though he doesn't like to admit it, he is a a fish that is scared of his own shadow. Ariel sometimes calls him a guppy which is the nickname she uses for his lack of courage. Flounder may be a little scary cat, but one thing is certain, when Ariel is in trouble he is right there by her side to help her in any way he can with no questions asked. Even if the situation is dangerous and scary. Flounder is one of my favorite characters from The Little Mermaid, and drawing him was lots of fun. I hope you guys enjoy learning "how to draw Flounder" as well with this easy to follow tutorial. I will be back soon because I have some really cool lessons going up today that I think a lot of you artists and members will enjoy. Peace out!

Jim Rockford is looking for a comeback.
NBC, Universal Media Studios and Steve Carell's Carousel Television have tapped "House" creator-exec producer David Shore to shepherd a redo of the classic 1974-80 gumshoe drama that starred James Garner and put Stephen J. Cannell on the map as a writer-producer.
Garner's Emmy-winning portrayal of the ex-con private eye who lived in a trailer in Malibu (and usually worked as hard to get his clients to pay up as he did on solving cases) turned Jim Rockford into one of the most indelible characters of the smallscreen. Shore said as a fan of the show himself, he's well aware of how high the bar is set for the remake.
"It's one of the shows that made me want to become a writer," Shore said. "I had no interest in adapting any old stuff, but this was the one exception."
Shore's just starting to think about an approach to bring "The Rockford Files" into the present day, but he intends to stick with the basic foundation of a private eye in L.A. just trying to make a living.
"What makes 'Rockford' timeless is that he's vulnerable, he's flawed. He's used to hustling and getting hustled," Shore said. "Sometimes he's a hero and sometimes he runs away."
The idea for a "Rockford" revival came from Carousel, which inquired about the rights to the Universal TV property after Carousel cut a production pact with Universal Media Studios in January. Laura Lancaster, NBC/UMS' exec veep of drama, knew that Shore was a big "Rockford" buff, and the match was easily made.
"The minute I heard this I said, 'Let's get it on for midseason' … but we're going to take our time and get it right," said Angela Bromstad, prexy of primetime entertainment for NBC Entertainment and UMS. "We know that David has the right sensibility as a writer to take on this kind of big character."
The original "Rockford" was co-created by Cannell and Roy Huggins, a prolific and influential TV scribe who created "Maverick," the offbeat Western that made Garner a star in the late '50s, and "The Fugitive," among other shows.
"Rockford," which earned the Emmy for drama series in 1978, was a training ground for a number of future biz heavyweights, including scribes David Chase, Juanita Bartlett, Chas. Floyd Johnson and thesps Dennis Dugan and Tom Selleck. Show's strong supporting cast included Noah Beery Jr., Stuart Margolin, Joe Santos and Gretchen Corbett.

Dodgers' statement on reintroducing extremely limited season ticket sales
"Upon conclusion of this week's select a seat event and servicing upgrades of existing season seat holders, the Dodgers have re-assessed availability and are reintroducing season ticket sales on an extremely limited basis beginning immediately," said Vice President of Ticket Sales David Siegel. "It was important to us to do this in time for Dodgers FanFest this weekend.
"Season seat sales were temporarily halted on Wednesday because we had exceeded our supply of seats originally earmarked for season sale. After carefully evaluating the supply and our commitments, we made a determination to reintroduce season ticket packages with full season seat holder benefits, including full postseason rights.
"We have re-opened areas where we feel we can now sell without greatly hindering individual sales and post-season requirements. We are making the tickets available for a wide range of budgets with prices between $12- $140 per ticket. "

The creator of the F# programming language at Microsoft Research in Cambridge, Don Syme, recently had a paper accepted for the Practical Aspects of Declarative Languages conference. This paper provides a great introduction to asynchronous workflows and the MailboxProcessor in F#.
In fact, the use of monads to sequence asynchronous operations has a long history. For example, this approach has been used in the OCaml programming language, from which F# is descended, for at least 8 years. Specifically, Jérôme Vouillon's LWT library for OCaml made asynchronous programming easy. For example, the first F# sample given in this paper:
async { let! html = getWebPage "http://www.google.com"
return html.Length }
Could have been written in OCaml as follows in 2002:
getWebPage "http://www.google.com" >>=
In 2005, Jacques Carette et al.'s pa_monad syntax extension even added the same kind of syntactic sugar that F# provides for its asynchronous workflows, allowing the sample to be written in OCaml as:
html <-- getWebPage "http://www.google.com"
return String.length html
For more information on asynchronous programming in F#, read Visual F# 2010 for Technical Computing.

text: The Glock 37 .45 GAP Chuck Taylor - March 27, 2004 The venerable 1911 is being challenged for dominance by Glock's new Model 37 chambered for the also-new .45 GAP proprietary cartridge. For the first time in its history, the .45 ACP has serious competition. Though without a doubt a powerful handgun, recoil of the Glock 37 (opposite) is controllable, and high-speed shooting sequences are relatively easy to accomplish. Is it a serious challenger to the M1911 .45 ACP? For almost a 100 years, the Browning-designed Colt M1911 .45 ACP has reigned as the penultimate fighting handgun. Used in every major military action and countless "dirty little wars" during the 20th century, it quickly became legendary for its reliability under adverse environmental conditions, superior intrinsic and practical accuracy, excellent user-friendliness and superb stopping power.Even as the years rolled on, the M1911 seemed to get better and better rather than just older. Based upon its success as a military handgun, many police agencies and individual officers opted for it, finding it to be as fully capable as a police handgun as it was in its original military role. The reputations of famous lawmen such as Melvin Purvis (who carried two M1911s) and agencies like the FBI were made using it. And though it performed magnificently as a fighting handgun, it was quickly discovered that it was really accurate, too, prompting its use in myriad bull's-eye matches and finally, beginning in the 1970s, IPSC competition. There it made its mark immediately as "the gun to beat." Every major event was dominated by M1911s, and virtually all the winners used them, prompting the less skilled to adopt the M1911 wholesale in the not-unrealistic belief that they'd have a better chance of winning if they used one. The 1980s brought the Colt M1911 widespread emulation, for by the end of that decade, more than a dozen makers had copied it and were offering various versions of it. Now it can be found in virtually every possible configuration, every size category and multiple calibers as well. And now, even though "Old Ugly" is nearing its 100th birthday, its popularity continues, showing no signs of lessening. It continues to reign supreme as the quintessential fighting handgun and is undeniably the longest-running act in handgun history. Because of its capabilities, the M1911 remains the choice of hundreds of thousands of shooters of all kinds. Its place in history assured, the M1911 has no peer, for no other handgun has successfully challenged its place as king of the hill, the best of the fighting handguns.A NEW KID ON THE BLOCK Until now, that is. Because finally, after nine-plus decades of unquestionable superiority, the M1911 faces the first serious challenger in its history--the new Glock 37 chambered for the proprietary .45 Glock Automatic Pistol (GAP).First appearing back in the mid-1980s, Glock pistols are also no secret to anyone, nor is the fact that they've quickly come to dominate the law enforcement and civilian self-defense markets. This phenomenon is based upon the fact that the Glock's fundamental design is truly revolutionary (in fact, the only new concept since the mid-1930s), and it is extremely simple, robust and user-friendly, too. For a fighting handgun to reach greatness, there are a number of essential characteristics it must possess. Specifically, it must be clearly superior in four ways: 1) mechanical reliability, 2) practical and inherent accuracy, 3) stopping power and 4) user-friendliness. These are the characteristics that allowed the M1911 to attain legendary status and have since become the criteria used to measure, and thus rate, the capabilities of all fighting handguns. That's the reason comparisons with the M1911 are invariably made.Well, the last 15 years have shown that Glocks are without a doubt among the most--if not the most--functionally reliable pistols ever made. In addition, they're not only highly accurate but also very simple in concept and operation and are thus highly user-friendly. This makes them clearly superior to the vast majority of handguns on the market today and catapults them to the top of the preferred-pistols list.This leaves only the matter of stopping power to consider, and it is here that most handguns fall short. Without a doubt, the .45 ACP's reputation as a manstopper is well deserved, due in large part because it was one of the few handgun cartridges in history that was specifically designed for combat.Like the M1911 pistol for which it was originally created, the .45 ACP has become legendary because it offers superior performance. It's accurate, easily adaptable to a variety of missions and purposes and, for self-defense functions, offers unequalled stopping power--a tough combination to beat.Until now, that is.Since 1987 when I began testing and seriously using Glocks, I've begged, badgered and cajoled my friends at Glock Inc. to produce a standard-frame .45. Throughout the last 15 years, I've brought it up again and again, to the point where every time I'd call someone at Glock, he'd begin the conversation by saying, "Hi Chuck. Yes, yes, I know. We ought to make a standard-size .45. Now. . .what else can we do for you today?" But amusing as it was, my preoccupation with the idea was no coincidence. Almost from the outset of my association with the Glock pistol, I recognized its design superiority and thus its potential for greatness. Moreover, in only a matter of weeks after exhaustively testing the original Glock 17, I realized that if an identical pistol were produced in a caliber larger than 9mm or .40, it would very nearly be the ideal fighting handgun.In the mid-1990s, the .45 ACP Glock 21 appeared, but I wasn't satisfied. Because it was patterned around a large-capacity magazine, it ended up being a rather large handgun and thus less concealable and user-friendly than what I wanted. Then, a few years later, the compact Glock 30 .45 ACP appeared. As a compact, it was easier for shooters with average or smaller hands to handle, but, like the Glock 21 from which it came, it was a bit thick in the grip frame for my tastes.Toward the end of the 1990s the thin-framed Glock 36 surfaced and was an immediate success. However, given the limitations of compact and subcompact pistols and their resulting hybrid mission, I was still dissatisfied. I didn't want a compact; I wanted a full-size, yet standard-framed service pistol like the Glock 17 or 22, but I wanted it in .45 caliber.I'd just about given up when in February 2003 I received a call from one of my contacts at Glock, who cheerfully advised me that my dream was about to come true. The firm was about to offer the pistol I'd been requesting for so long--the Glock 37.WRINGING OUT THE GAPHowever, I was advised that it was to be chambered for a new .45 cartridge, to be called the .45 GAP (Glock Auto Pistol) and not the ubiquitous .45 ACP. When I asked why, I was informed that the Glock engineers felt that a slightly shorter cartridge based upon the .45 ACP would offer better functional reliability and yet duplicate its performance.Further conversation disclosed that Speer would be the initial ammunition manufacturer and that it would be offered in both a 185-grain Gold Dot JHP and 200-grain flatnose FMJ loading. Specifications for the ammunition had been requested by the other ammo manufacturers, however, and it was almost a sure bet that they would soon join Speer in producing the .45 GAP. Enthused by what I had heard, I asked for the first one unpacked to be sent to me, and that promise was fulfilled.Now, in the early fall of 2003, the Glock 37 .45 GAP is finally here, and a handsome pistol it is. As this is written, I've now run 500 rounds each of Speer's 200-grain FMJs and 185-grain JHPs through it without a hitch. The ammo is a bit hotter than I originally expected, with the 200 grainer producing 991 fps and the 185 grainer 985.Extreme spreads for both loads have thus far hovered in the four- to 12-fps range--exceptionally tight for any cartridge, much less a handgun cartridge--and accuracy is excellent. From my Ransom Rest, my Glock 37 consistently produces 50-meter accuracy in the two- to three-inch range, while from offhand Weaver, I've been able to shoot 25-meter groups of less than two inches without difficulty. Fired in low-light conditions, virtually no muzzle flash is apparent--a nice touch since self-defense is the primary function of both the firearm and its ammunition, and the vast majority of such encounters take place between dusk and dawn.Interestingly, the 200-grain FMJ is also a bit hotter (991 fps) than the 185-grain JHP (985 fps) and is therefore slightly less controllable in fast multishot sequences. This, along with the fact that the Gold Dot JHP used in the 185-grain loading appears to expand reliably (to the chagrin of a dozen jackrabbits and a coyote), leads me to prefer it to the 200 grainer because weapon controllability in self-defense situations is critical.To actually measure this, I performed a series of high-speed drills taken from the extremely difficult American Small Arms Academy Handgun Combat Master Qualification Course. I found that the time differential between the two loads for two-shot strings from the holster on a single Taylor Combat silhouette target at distances of three, seven, 10, 15, 25 and 50 meters to average a substantial two- to three-tenths of a second.Multiple target drills consisting of one shot from the holster from five meters on two, then three, and finally four TC silhouettes in 1.2, 1.5 and 1.8 seconds, respectively, confirmed this trend. The lesser controllability of the 200-grain load forced me to accept either a lower score to avoid overtime penalties or an additional two-tenths of a second longer per shot being needed to ensure a perfect score.Using the 185-grain JHP load, however, maximum scores were shot on all three stages with relative ease, once again confirming my subjective impressions from my earlier experience with the two loads in the field.A third drill was also shot from seven meters and consisted of presenting the pistol from the holster and placing a single hit on the target (also a TC silhouette) in one second. Because only single shots were involved, there was no difference in time, but the Glock 37 fully equaled the performance of the Colt M1911 from an identical holster.TALE OF THE TAPEAs for the Glock 37 itself, it differs from the Glock 17 or 22 only in its slide, which is several ounces heavier, slightly wider (1.125 inches as opposed to 1.010) and a bit higher (.890 inch in comparison to .850). The pistol's overall length is the same as the Glock 17 or 22, but it is five inches high as opposed to the 17's height of 4.96 inches. The leading edge of the triggerguard and the front- and backstraps are, of course, 10-lpi-checkered, as are all Glocks of recent production.In comparison to the M1911, the Glock 37's slide is slightly wider (1.125 inches in comparison to .090) but lower in height (.890 inch as opposed to 1.450). Overall height measures a 1/4 inch less than the M1911's 5.25 inches. So, as you can see, from a size standpoint, the Glock 37 compares favorably with the M1911 and is certainly no less concealable or convenient to carry.Magazine capacity is 10 shots, and all magazines are drop-free, making speed loading an easy task. As with all other Glocks, the sights are of the fixed, high-visibility type, featuring a .360-inch-wide front sight with .3-inch-diameter white-dot insert and a .320-inch rear notch with a .050-inch white outline.So as you can see, the Glock 37 is at the very least a winner and is sure to become an immediate tactical and commercial success. Like the other Glocks from which it came, it's tough, reliable, simple, accurate and, in this case, a real manstopper but without the controllability problems associated with the .357 Magnum, .40 S&W or 10mm.As such, it clearly offers a real challenge to the venerable M1911's status as king of the hill, the first such challenge in nearly a hundred years. With proper ammunition development it may very well supplant it. Time will tell, of course, but I can already say that based upon the results of my testing thus far, I prefer it to either the Glock 17 9mm or Glock 22 .40 S&W because it possesses all the same attributes and has, in addition, the superior stopping power of a .45. Such a combination is very, very hard to beat and is sure to move the Glock 37 to the very top of the list.

Over the next few weeks, we'll take a look at each position on the Jets roster and take a look ahead at what the Jets might expect and might need to address this coming offseason. Now? The defensive line!
Coming Off The Books
DE Mike DeVito -- DeVito has been a great utility player for the Jets, able to move around and assume different roles as necessary. DeVito is a great rush defender, but has never been a fearsome pass rusher for the Jets. Still, his contributions are important and Rex Ryan has really been able to use his skillset to good effect for the Jets during their four years together. Still, Coples will only take more time on the line in 2013 and DeVito's impact might not be as valuable to the Jets as it has been in past years. Meanwhile, a coach who is very familiar with DeVito's skillset is inheriting a unit in Buffalo was one of the absolute worst against the run in 2012. Could someone like DeVito make an impact there? Let's just say that from what we hear, Mike Pettine has muddied the waters for at least one other Jets defender under contract. Try to re-sign to a low-level deal.
On The Books
DE Mo Wilkerson -- While JJ Watt was far and away the best 3-4 DE in the league, according to PFF, Wilkerson was the second best player in the league in that regard and came close to Watt in his ability to stop the run. Wilkerson might never get the attention Watt does, but the two are going to be great for a long time and the comparisons are valid, but what Wilkerson lacks is that playmaking knack that Watt seems to be so adept at ... even so ... not a bad player to be compared to. Wilkerson is bearing out to be the inexhaustible juggernaut of this line. While his play suffered some at the start of the season from not getting the help from an as-of-yet healthy Sione Pouha, Wilkerson shone more and more as the year went on. Wilkerson's work against the run and interior pass-rush will be a cornerstone for the defensive line for years to come. Maintain current role, work in offseason to further refine pass-rush.
DE Quinton Coples -- The physical tools that Coples brought to bear in 2012 were impressive, but he had his share of ups and downs as most rookie players do. Coples got snared on penalty issues as well as against the run ... but time and technique can easily increase both. Of the pair of he and Wilkerson though, Coples looks to be the athletic freak who will flash more while Wilkerson plays the steady game over the longer haul. Neither is bad and we think they will complement each other quite well. Refine technique and increase role in 2013.
NT Sione Pouha -- Pouha stepped in so well in replacement of Kris Jenkins that Jets fans might have been spoiled. Pouha's forte is playing the thnakless tw0-gapping run stopper in the middle of the defense. He's the heart and soul of the defense and has brought many of the younger players under his wing. Pouha is everything the Jets need on the field and the locker room, but his bout with a back injury last year brought into focus how effective he can be at this point of his career. Also, in a cash-strapped season can the Jets afford to pay a 33 year old nose tackle more than $6 million against a cap where the Jets are going to take some sever austerity measures in less than a month? If Pouha is cut, he could be another target in Buffalo by a coach working to rebuild a bad defense. Approach Pouha about restructuring his deal - if not ...
DT Damon Harrison -- Big Snacks saw some time on the field and didn't do anything to dissuade the team from seeing a potential backup and special teams role in future years. Hang on and let compete for a spot in camp.

Obama health idea could mean better care, savings
By RICARDO ALONSO-ZALDIVAR, Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Obama administration on Thursday outlined a new approach to medical care that it said could mean higher quality and less risk for patients, while also saving millions of dollars for taxpayers.
The plan involves accountable care organizations, which are networks of hospitals, doctors, rehabilitation centers and other providers. They would work together to cut out duplicative tests and procedures, prevent medical errors, and focus on keeping patients healthier and out of the emergency room.
"We need to bring the days of fragmented care to an end," Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said as she announced a proposed regulation that defines how the networks would operate within Medicare.
If things work out, medical providers would share in the savings. If the experiment fails, they're likely to get stuck with part of any additional costs.
Sebelius said early estimates are that Medicare could save as much as $960 million over three years. That's not a whole lot for a $550-billion-a-year program, but officials say it's a start. The estimate was prepared by Medicare's office of the actuary, known for its independence.
Eagerly awaited by the health care industry, the new approach was called for in President Barack Obama's health care overhaul. The first networks would open for business next year.
Unlike some managed care plans, such as health maintenance organizations, these networks would not lock in patients. "The beneficiary has not lost any choice at all," said Medicare administration Donald Berwick.
The U.S. spends about $2.5 trillion a year on health care, more per person than any other advanced country. Yet people in the U.S. lag in some common measures of health and well-being. Researchers estimate that as much as one-third of U.S. spending goes for services that aren't really needed, and that's what the networks are supposed to address.
If the idea succeeds in Medicare, it is expected to spread quickly to employer-provided health insurance. Already in some parts of the country, such as the Minneapolis area, insurers, hospitals and doctors have set up similar networks for privately insured patients.
But there are risks.
The networks could end up costing more money because of the intensive work involved in coordinating among different providers. Medicare recipients now may see four or five different doctors, who never talk to each other or compare notes.
There's another potential problem. What if a network of hospitals and doctors acquires monopoly power in its community and starts raising prices? Assistant Attorney General Christine Varney said the administration won't allow that to happen.
"We believe there is no area of the economy that can benefit more from collaboration than health care," said Varney. "Those who collaborate to fix prices inappropriately will be prosecuted."
Doctors, hospitals and other service providers will decide whether join a local network. They will have to make a three-year commitment to care for a group of at least 5,000 patients.
The Justice Department said providers that control less than 30 percent of the market for a given service in their community probably would not face scrutiny for possible anti-competitive concerns. Those with a market share of 50 percent or more would undergo a mandatory review before their network could be approved. For those in between, the department issued a list of things to avoid if they don't want to face questions from the government.
Once the government has approved a network, Medicare administrators will monitor performance on costs and quality. If the network succeeds in saving money over what its patients' care would have otherwise cost, Medicare will share a portion of the gains. If it loses money, providers could get stuck with a bill.
Providers are required to let their patients know that they are part of an accountable care organization and to get permission to share personal health information within the network. The experiment is focused on traditional fee-for-service Medicare.
"We are committed to getting the details right," said Sebelius. "The rules we are proposing today are just the first step in a long process."
It's unclear what would happen to the experiment if Obama's health care law is overturned in court or repealed.
"I've never seen a time when there was as much positive work being done, although we don't have enough statistical data to show results yet," said Jim Eppel, a senior executive of Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Minnesota, which has several networks of its own. "I think providers in our area have come to the realization that they need to reduce their cost of doing business. This provides a platform for them to do that.

All printers vary in success with this. We have found that home photo capable printers work best for custom size, heavier weight paper. For example, a specific brand that we have confirmed to work is an Epson photo printer.
Laser printers usually do best. Ink-Jet printers are not recommended for our paper (except our ink-jet vellum). Although many ink-jet prints can work just fine, some will not dry well.
It is always strongly recommended to try out a printer test kit if you are planning on DIY printing.
If you want to save some time or dont have a compatible printer, please keep in mind that www.cardsandpockets.com offers low-cost, professional printing!

Ok Duh I had things backwards, thanks for not bashing me. Figured it out.
Are these set up measurements without batteries mounted?
Measurements, camber, toe, ride height, etc, all in race ready trim,, yes with battery installed..
Support your Country, buy domestic...
OK guys anyone racing?
Getting tired of getting my butt handed to be my Losi. does anyone have a good setup? Been on short tight technical tracks and big (1/8) tracks doesn't matter they are still a 2 -3 sec faster a lap.
Maybe that LCG chassis that looks real promising will get mass produced and you will have a chance again.
JESUS says: "Fix it B4 it Breaks!"
good stuff especially one I am more educated in setups but this is certainly a helper
"fat drunk and stupid is no way to go thru life"
Hi guys,
Just purchased a standard 4x4 slash and had some questions. I have a homemade track in the backyard and I was looking for a little advice. Everything I read seems to focus on people "pushing" in the corners, understeer, due to high traction surfaces etc. Well I have the opposite problem. Loose, dusty, black dirt is the the surface I'm dealing with, which means oversteer and spinouts like crazy. I have some bumpy sections so I'd like to maintain some plush to the ride if possible so I don't go bouncing off the track. I just need to know what needed to be adjusted to try and reduce oversteer. Everything is bone stock out of the box. Thanks in advance.
One of the best improvements I made to the Slash 4X4 was the aluminum rear hub carriers for a total of 4 degree toe-in. That will help it stay glued to the track.
Hey guy's is there an updated slayden setup sheet available? I have the old one from 2010 but looking for a newer setup sheet. I know that he has changed a few thing's but cannot locate it. Thank's.
*Proud Husband of United state's Air Force wife.*
cool. Nice race. Have a race on the 31st against some nitro guy's I hope. They don't think I can keep up, won't they be surprised when I lap them. LOL....
*Proud Husband of United state's Air Force wife.*
I run Sunday with a setup based on this. Second place and it handled very well!
Congrats, TechX!
can someone post a video of how to set up a platinum from opening box to driving away I have a dx3e spectrum controller
What setup tools do you use Steve (or others)? I've been looking at hudy's off road setup kit and integy's setup kit. Any suggestions on total offroad setup systems?
Does no one have any tools they use to set up their rc racers? It's been weeks since I've asked a question about setup tools and nothing. There must be someone out there that actually uses tools to properly setup their slash or other rc racer. Any insight would be appreciated.
rpm makes a camber and toe in gauge.
Can someone put this into laymens terms for me please? When I look at the springs and stuff the wording doesnt make sense to me.
SLASH 4x4 setup: FRONT END
- Camber Link: inner: #1 & outer: lower What is meant by #1?
- Shock Position: Upper: mid Lower: #2 Is this for the upper spring bolt or the lower?
SLASH 4x4 setup: REAR END
- Camber Link: inner: #3 & outer: fixed on blue carriers and #3 on Pro-
Line rear carriers. Use the #5 hole on the inner on small high bite
tracks. It improves chassis rotation.
- Hinge Pin Location: Lower, Try the upper location on really rough
tracks. Reset ride height when changing this adjustment. Hinge pin??
- Shock Position: Upper: mid Lower: #3 Is this for the upper spring bolt or the lower?
Thank you
Just wanted to say a huge thanks to you Steve! I was so frustrated with my trucks high CG, but when I tried your setup, I can turn in hard on a corner, and it wont flip... The only things I haven't done that is on your base setup are the shock and diff oils... Ill be getting them soon though, and hopefully will improve my truck even more! Thanks again you RC God.
Posted in Australia, the country Down-Under
here. It should be in the thumbnail of the first post... It really helps you visualise where things are on the truck, rather than trying to work that out by yourself... Good luck!

Hey can I get a link to a vid of a car with that set up it seems sweet. Thanks guys
is there a 2wd setup sheet somewere like the Steve Slayden 4x4 setup ? shock oil and springs mostly what i want thank everyone and anybody that has the time to reply daryle
Hi guys, i have slash 4s4 with Team RCE kit installed, also there is center diff,some other mods anr relar shocks pro-line power stroke, im racing on indoor track, its made of clay, it little dusty and very hard, i tried different setups for my slash ,but can you offer me some new thigs do i need to do to make ir better.
I did some adjusments, but feels like its going worst then was before, i dont know waht to do for sure, so can you help me by giving full setup sheet you'r driving with setup like mine.
Pro-lines on rear, center diff, front stock 4x4 RTR ones, RCE conversion, tekin rx8 w pro4 4600kv, 2s, proline calibers M3, temperature on the track about 0 celsius.
Big thanks.
hey fellas! I ordered the Traxxas Center diff and it comes with 1 50t and 2 52t gears... which gear should i use for this set up? tyvm
hey slahdaddy i have this setup on my truck with a 2400 castle setup all it wants to do is PUSH PUSH in the turns ans wellie down the straights on 2s or 3s amy help?
Whats shock oil that suitable for dirt surface with some bashing
on the camber link setup, if it says #1 upper or lower. what does the upper and lower mean? i figured out the # from the owners manual but dont get the rest. can anyone help?
Slash 2wd
Slash 4wd
When does it stop?
Hey i just both my Slash ultimate and i was wondering if i can used my stock esc VXL- 3s with a 1410 3800kv cc motor
Can anyone provide a link to Steve slayden setup on PDF format, thanks
yes I do check your personal messages.
is there any new setups for the lcg chassis slash(6804r)
and is steve sladen still racing traxxas????????
ANSICO78, I don't think the vxl will power the cc 3800 motor due to it being a 4 pole motor, stock is a 2 pole motor, the vxl esc sees that motor as a 7600kv motor and will cog and maybe burn your esc up, this is what I have searched and read from others on the forum, not my own experience, I have the same motor (3800kv cc) laying around as well, but haven't tried it on my vxl esc, as per posted above. Give it a try some have said it works most say it doesn't. Good luck and god bless.

My Shoulder Hurts!
Slash 4x4 / Rustler VXL
WOW is all I have to say. Bought my first real rc last year slash 6808 4x4 and upgraded everything but never touched the alignment. I am a basher dirt only nothing else my favorite spot is hard pack with loose top. after many tire changes and fluid changes it worked well. So I thought what the heck I would try slaydens set up. Next time out it was amazing like a new truck. I have a HEAVY trigger finger and full throttle turns were a work of art flawless dirt throwing control. Speed runs were near perfect where before it would spin out. I am so happy I gave this set up a shot.
This may have been mentioned in this thread already but will this set up work on a LCG chassis slash?

The Accounting Historians Journal
Vol. 14, No. 1
Spring 1987
Mary Alice Seville OREGON STATE UNIVERSITY
Abstract: This article chronicles and compares the attempts made over the years by Voluntary Health and Welfare Organizations (VHWO), accountants and accounting bodies to determine VHWO accounting principles. Also discussed are the events that led to the recognition of the need for generally accepted accounting principles for VHWOs. The article highlights the need for more attention to VHWO accounting by accountants and accounting researchers and provides a foundation for understanding VHWO accounting in the past.
What are generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for Voluntary Health and Welfare Organizations (VHWOs)? This article examines how the concept has evolved over this century. Perhaps, however, the first question should be, what are VHWOs? As displayed in Figure 1, VHWO's constitute part of the nonbusi-ness universe.1 According to the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB), the distinguishing characteristics of nonbusiness organizations include:
(a) receipts of significant amounts of resources from resource providers who do not expect to receive either repayment or economic benefits proportionate to re-sources provided, (b) operating purposes that are primarily other than to provide goods or services at a
Acknowledgement: The author wishes to express her appreciation to Mau-reen Berry and the anonymous reviewers who reviewed earlier drafts. Any deficiencies which remain are the sole responsibility of the author.
1Since VHWOs are one of the more inclusive nonbusiness organizations, much that has been written about nonbusiness accounting in general also applies to VHWOs. Thus to help the reader understand VHWO accounting, I found it necessary to discuss studies that applied to nonbusiness organizations in general as well as those applying specifically to VHWOs.

Why the Rapid RH® Relative Humidity Is the Most Accurate Moisture Test
While uploaded in the early 2000s, this videos stands the test of time with its beneficial, science-based information. In the years since, we have updated our Rapid RH® product line — which is still the fastest, most accurate moisture test for concrete floors on the market.
Narrator: Whether it's monitoring the concrete drying process of a project, or predicting the outcome of a flooring installation, the Rapid RH® helps you manage your risks against flooring failures. Knowing the signs behind relative humidity testing will help you understand the importance of this proven quantitative testing method.
Howard Kanare: We're all familiar with relative humidity in the air. It's simply the percentage of moisture in the air compared to what the air could hold if it were saturated.
Relative humidity –or RH—has been used for over 50 years to measure moisture in concrete floors. There's a clear and valid relationship between relative humidity levels in concrete and floor system performance. RH has a solid scientific basis. RH instruments can be calibrated for absolute accuracy. That's something you cannot do with a calcium chloride moisture emission kit.
Water vapor behaves differently in concrete at lower RH than it does at higher RH. Most coatings and adhered floor covering systems perform very well when relative humidity is below about 80%. At that level, water molecules are strongly absorbed in the porous structure of the concrete.
Now the performance of a product depends on the moisture sensitivity of that particular product. The manufacturers of flooring products determine the acceptable level of RH for each product, so accurate RH measurement is really critical. That way, users can be sure that moisture conditions are acceptable for installation.
Narrator: The Rapid RH is a revolutionary, state of the art, relative humidity probe that significantly decreases the time it takes to measure moisture in concrete slabs. It eliminates guesswork, messy testing methods, is disposable, and can be left in the testing area.
And each disposable smart sensor comes with a NIST traceable factory calibration certificate, providing reliable accuracy and completely alleviating the need for periodic calibrations typically required by other sensing technologies.
Peter Craig: When I was first introduced to the Rapid RH concept, I immediately saw it as a tool that could significantly improve the ability to monitor the drying progress of the concrete slab without adding substantial cost to the project. The self-contained sensor units allow one to take periodic readings over time, such that there is no need to conduct a full battery of moisture tests until there's good reason to believe that an acceptable level of dryness has been reached. In addition, because the sensors are installed below the surface of the slab, there's far less risk of damage to the units or interference in normal construction activity.
In my opinion, the Wagner Rapid RH Sensor is a valued asset to the overall moisture testing program on any project where moisture sensitive finishes ought to be applied.
Narrator: Market data suggests that there are more than five hundred million dollars spent each year on mitigating flooring failures.
Ray Thompson: Moisture in concrete is a major issue in the flooring industry. Owners, general contractors, flooring contractors, and installers need to know whether a slab is dry enough to receive a moisture sensitive flooring. With all of the testing methods today we need to be sure that the test methods are accurate and we can determine the drying rate of the concrete slab. Owners and general contractors need to know how the drying of the concrete slab is progressing. The flooring contractors need to know for their scheduling purposes, and the installer needs to know for the success of his installation.
The Wagner RH Probe provides accuracy without worrying about calibration. Plus, the results are available to anyone who needs to know as often as they need to know it.
Narrator: As more flooring manufacturers recognize the importance and accuracy of relative humidity testing and specify RH percent limits in their installation and warranty requirements, risks for flooring failures will be minimized. You can control your losses and manage your risks with Rapid RH.
