(State Police / Special to the American Press)

Staying in the right lane except when passing or turning is the "courteous" thing to do as well as the law, a local law enforcement official said.
State law requires that drivers stay in the right lane on multilane highways, save for certain exceptions.
However, drivers often ignore the law and drive in the left lane, slowing traffic.
"Maybe they're not aware, maybe they don't care," said Sgt. James Anderson, state police Troop D spokesman.
Anderson gave the example of a motorist staying in the left lane of U.S. 171 while traveling north across the Calcasieu River bridge until finally turning left in Moss Bluff.
"We see that quite often, unfortunately," Anderson said.
"It boils down to being courteous. Being a courteous driver goes a long way toward minimizing incidents of road rage."
Anderson said that while the desire is for the law to be followed through voluntary compliance, each shift at Troop D performs at least one detail every two weeks looking for the violations.
"That's how important our troop commander, Capt. Chris Guillory, considers it," Anderson said.
Blocking the left lane not only slows and clogs traffic, but also impedes the ability of first responders to do their jobs, Anderson said.
Anderson also said motorists shouldn't refuse to let other drivers pass because they feel the other driver is going too fast.
"My advice is to go ahead and move out of the way and let us do our job of enforcing the speed limit," Anderson said. "We may not get that person that day, but eventually, the odds will usually catch up to them."
The law, Louisiana revised statute 32:71B, says that vehicles are only to enter the left lane of multilane highways when: preparing for a left turn; passing a vehicle in the same direction; or when right-hand lanes are congested.
"No vehicle being driven in the left lane except when directed otherwise or preparing for a left turn at an intersection, private road, or driveway shall impede any other vehicle that is traveling in the same lane and behind that vehicle," the law says.
The law even states that motorists driving in the left lane at a speed slower than 10 miles per hour less than the posted speed limit may be subject to 30 days in prison.

Title: I hate left laners
Thank you to the troopers trying to enforce this law, however, motorist do not abide by this law. It is so agravating for a driver to block the left lane and go 20 miles to make a left turn.....I wish Rapides and Vernon parishes would ticket people for this.

Volume 4
Introduction To The Fourth Volume
Special Issue on the Experiences of Faculty Engaged in the New England Center for Inclusive Teaching (NECIT) During the Spring 2005 Semester
In the spring semester of 2005, seven faculty and staff members at Rhode Island College became the first Center for Inclusive Teaching class at this institution. The group met weekly throughout the semester to explore the meanings, implications and struggles related to "inclusive teaching." The participants were selected from a pool of applicants who had replied to a number of announcements about the opportunity. Each group member was off-loaded one course during the semester.
According to the New England Center for Inclusive Teaching (NECIT),
"The Ford Foundation provided funding for NECIT faculty development seminars to convene at seven New England institutions during the Spring 2005 and Fall 2005 semesters. The seminars linked effective teaching to an understanding of student diversity."
Rhode Island College was one of the seven campuses to be designated as a NECIT site. This special volume of Issues in Teaching and Learning, the College's e-journal, contains six essays that emerged from participating faculty members' experiences.
The RIC NECIT group read several published accounts of professors' struggles and rewards associated with inclusive teaching and then analyzed the issues raised. Simultaneously, the group members made connections to their own experiences with inclusive teaching, in part with an eye on developing a product of their work together, to share with colleagues and the wider college community.
The deliberations produced some common themes: Ph.D. programs generally do not teach doctoral candidates how to teach, or even much about pedagogical theory; RIC's faculty development programs have been helpful in promoting inclusive teaching, but participation is not widespread; and for many faculty members, the road to inclusive teaching has been mostly an individual process of discovery.
As the seminar members explored their experiences, they decided to share "pedagogical autobiographies" with the RIC community. Each participant agreed to show how her or his life path connected to successes and challenges as an inclusive instructor, with an attempt to propose some theoretical explanations of the process and student outcomes.
As the group members shared their early drafts, some common experiences emerged: everyone was a minority group member of some sort; religion (for some, not their own religion) played a substantial role in their early development and their later conceptualization of inclusive teaching; most came from working class backgrounds and had international origins or experiences. The biographies also tell very different stories and, collectively, do not coalesce around a single theory of inclusive teaching. But all of the authors in this special volume of IT&L make it clear that there is no end point: each person viewed her/himself as a work in progress, especially since student populations keep changing, as do each academic field and the global pedagogical knowledge base.
The articles in this special volume of IT&L demonstrate quite clearly that the group members came away from the NECIT experience with greater clarity and commitment to the goal of making their classes places where all students can and do participate, in large part because their voices are heard in a safe and supportive environment.

According to the Romney campaign, the president has declared hostilities against just about everything Americans hold dear--and the Obamas are firing back, writes John Heilemann in New York magazine.
Barack Obama has been accused of many sins, but among the most common Republican charges against him is that he is a warmonger—though not in the usual sense of the term, of course. Just since the turn of the New Year, conservatives have inveighed against Obama for prosecuting a "war on oil," a "war on coal" (with an attendant "war on Appalachia"), and a "war on energy"; a "war on religion," a "war on the Vatican," and a "war on the Catholic Church"; a "war on the Supreme Court" and a "war on the U.S. Constitution"; and, according to a new book co-authored by anti-tax zealot Grover Norquist, a "war on jobs and growth."
Even against this background of promiscuous martial-metaphorizing, however, few would have predicted that Mitt Romney would spend his first full day as a general-election candidate assailing Obama for waging—wait for it—a war on women. Or that the next day, after the kerfuffle involving Democratic strategist Hilary Rosen erupted, Romney's people would attack Obama for inciting a "war on moms." And for engaging in "class warfare" with the Buffett Rule. And for stoking a "war on reality" for … who knows? But while Democrats may tut-tut and shake their heads, they are hardly innocent here. It was the left, after all, that introduced the war-on-women lingo to the political vernacular in the first place.
Phony wars are nothing new in presidential politics, to be sure, but rarely have they been this dimwitted, dishonest, debasing, or, when it comes to what the months between now and November hold in store, so utterly depressing. And yet as dismaying as last week was, it was also revealing of the terrain and tactics that will define the general election—with Chicago relentlessly touting economic fairness and seeking to exacerbate Romney's weaknesses with key constituencies such as women, and with Boston talking economic opportunity and scrambling to rehab its man's battered image with those same groups. The Democratic side is the favorite in this fight, no doubt. But there are signs amid the skirmishing that the Republican team can't be counted out just yet.

Reckord to plead guilty for deadly hit-and-run
SPOKANE, Wash. - A Spokane Valley businessman suspected of running over a cyclist in a alcohol-related crash will plead guilty to a vehicular homicide charge Tuesday in Spokane superior court.
In March 2010, Scott Reckord was turning from Division onto westbound Sprague Avenue when he ran over 56-year-old David Squires in the crosswalk. Despite the impact and sounds of the crash, witnesses say Reckord kept on driving.
Bobbi Curtis and her son Dathan took after Reckord, but not before her husband Jeff got out of their vehicle and started performing first aid on Squires.Reckord guilty plea
"Looked like the back of the truck tire ran over his head and I jumped out of the truck and ran over here and started to help him and he wasn't conscious," Jeff Curtis said.
While Bobbi drove off in pursuit of Reckord, Dathan got on the phone and called 9-1-1.
The Curtis' said they sped west on Sprague and turned right onto Washington. By that point Reckord's truck was passing underneath Riverfront Park in the Washington Street tunnel. Only at this point, nearly a mile from the crash, did he turn around and start heading back to the crime scene.
Police say Reckord failed a sobriety test and was arrested. Shortly afterward Bobbi Curtis related why she had chased after him.
"I saw that this guy in this truck was not going to stop. He knew he had hit somebody and he was going to try and get away with it," she said.
Now, two-and-a-half years later, the testimony of the Curtis family won't be necessary with Reckord's guilty plea, which gives some closure to Squires' family.
"Everybody will be glad to see a closure to this. It's very painful to bring any of it up to the family, to my three boys. We're glad to see a closure to it," Michele Squires said.
Reckord faces anywhere from 31 to 41 months in prison.

Women's Documents
Manufacturer's Crosse Specifications
Field Dimensions
Common Field Markings for Men's and Women's Lacrosse
Implementation Plan
For many years, at least at the international competition level, men's and women's lacrosse has been played with different field dimensions and field markings. With many new countries introducing the sport of lacrosse, the FIL, at its General Assembly in June 2012, established a set of common perimeter and bench markings, in the hope of making as many of the field dimensions similar so they are more easily understood, remembered and implemented by lacrosse enthusiasts across the globe.
The benefits in having a common lacrosse field for both men's and women's field lacrosse include:
- Increased chance of having permanent lines included in synthetic surfaces
- Reduced time required to mark both a men's and women's field
- Less confusion regarding what line is used for what game
- Alignment with other field sports where field markings are the same
- Fields can be more easily shared by both men' and women's teams
- Goals can be permanent on grass fields and not have to move for each game
- Increasing potential for inclusion of lacrosse in the Olympics
Implementation schedule
The following implementation schedule has been established for the unified field:
FIL International events
- 2015 U19 Women's World Championship – unified dimensions
- 2016 U19 Men's World Championship – traditional dimensions
- 2017 Women's World Cup – unified dimensions
- 2018 Men's World Championship – unified dimensions
- 2019 and beyond – unified dimensions
National and domestic
Changes may be introduced as soon as practical, and are encouraged.
Recognizing that these dimensions are now available and that FIL is recommending members to adopt these domestically at their discretion, we also know that our existing Men's and Women's rule books do not contain the new dimensions.
It has been determined that both the Men's and Women's Rule books will remain as is until after the 2014 GA, at which time, changes will be made, along with any other approved rules changes.
This will result in the following:
- 2015-16 Men's Rule book to contain the new field dimensions
- 2015-2018 Women's Rule book contain the new field dimensions
Summary of changes
A summary of these changes is as follows, with more detail provided in the attached documents.
- Size of field increased from 110 yard X 60 yard to 110 m X 60 m (120.30 yard X 65.62 yard)
- Goal crease radius increased from 3 yard to 3 m (3.28 yard)
- Space behind the goal reduced from 15 yard to 12 m (13.12 yard)
- Substitution area or gate increased from 10 yard to 13 m (14.22 yard)
- Centre face-off X to wing line and goal line to men's restraining line remain essentially the same but the measurement has been adjusted to metric.
- Additional field length is added to the centre of the field between the 2 restraining lines and the additional width is added between the wing lines and the sidelines.
- Size of field reduced from 120m x 60m to 110m x 60m
- Restraining line reduced from 27m to 25m
- Space behind goal reduced from 15m to 12m
- Team bench area reduced from 28m to 18.5m
Alternative measurements for existing WOMEN'S facilities
FIL has developed a set of measurements for existing WOMEN'S fields. These are for the following size pitches:
Unified field pitch – 110m x 60m
Field hockey pitch – 91.4m x 55m
Field with 110m but less than 60m
Field with less than 110m x 60m

About the National Guard
On 9/11 National Guardsmen, "citizen soldiers," left their homes and jobs, mobilized and responded, most without specific orders to do so. Within hours of the attacks, thousands of troops were in position, stabilizing the city. The initial response of the New York Army National Guard, included the 27th Brigade, 53rd Troop Command and the 42nd Division. Never in America's history has the National Guard force done as much for so long for homeland and national defense.
We also want to thank National Guard solider from across the country who responded in the aftermath of 9/11 and continue to protect our nation.

I just picked up 2 bags and they were still 30/20.
I just picked up 2 bags and they were still 30/20.
I also made the mistake of picking up the 26/16 PPP the other day at PetSmart, when I got home I noticed and looked it up on the website to see if something had changed other than the packaging. Now saw there were 3 formulas...I took my bag back and got the 30/20. The ingredients are a little different so look carefully. Bags are still the same size 37.5lbs. I think that the 26/16 may be the old Adult Chicken and Rice (non-shredded) that they brought back a few years ago when a lot of people complained about the shredded blend. (I hated the Shredded blend) all my dogs lost weight on it. I switched to the Performance after they made the initial switch. Another thing I did notice is that the calories are higher for the 26/16 than they are for the 30/20? I thought that was odd?
I did the same thing. I just grabbed a black and purple bag off the shelf at Petsmart and did not notice the difference until I poured the food out of the bag.

Heading into this week, Himax (HIMX) had been on a tear. The maker of semiconductors for displays had gained 184%, as the company benefited from the smartphone boom and speculation that it would be providing displays for Google's (GOOG) Google Glass.
Then Himax announced that Innolux, a large shareholder, would sell some 22 million ADSs in a secondary offering, and last night those shares priced at $5.25. Suddenly other investors weren't feeling so enthusiastic about Himax. It's dropped 21% this week, after falling 7.9% today to $5.39 at 12:46 p.m.
With the secondary out of the way, Himax could get a bounce, says Oppenheimer analyst Andrew Uerkwitz. Its fundamentals are strong, smartphones–which require Himax's drivers–are selling well and its new businesses could become profitable in the quarters ahead.
"Hopefully Himax can find its footing here and trade on fundamentals," he says.

Institutional Approval
Institutional approval is required before any proposal (including continuations) can be submitted or contract signed on behalf of the college. A completed Proposal Summary and Approval Form (PSAF) ensures that all relevant administrative units of the college support the project. A fully completed PSAF must be in place for a proposal to be submitted through ORGA or RICF.
With ORGA and RICF serving as central clearinghouses for all grants and contracts submitted or received on behalf of the college, the PSAF guarantees that requests are coordinated, each project gets the full institutional support it deserves, and projects are not competing against each other for limited external funds. The form also informs ORGA and RICF staff of all proposal-related projects, promoting opportunities for inter-disciplinary collaboration between programs whenever possible.
ORGA or RICF can assist with securing signatures for completion of the PSAF. An incomplete form may delay a proposal, even to the point of missing a deadline. All PIs are strongly encouraged to complete the form and obtain all signatures at least two weeks prior to the proposal deadline. Proposals that create new grant-funded positions require additional lead time and should be submitted at least one month before the proposal deadline. Completed forms are retained by ORGA on paper and electronically, with copies sent to the PI.
Roles and Responsibilities During Institutional Approval and Proposal Submission
Principal Investigator (PI)
- Required (even if an EFI form was submitted and approved) to fully complete two forms, the Proposal Summary and Approval Form (PSAF) and Proposal Summary and Approval Budget Form, before a proposal is submitted to, or contract signed with, an external sponsor. Consider this form an opportunity to inform all levels of the College administration of your research/program. Completion includes securing all required signatures and completing and submitting any related forms (such as disclosure of a potential financial conflict of interest). College administrative officials may have questions based on proposal and/or budget content and potential college commitments, including facilities, technology, and equipment.
- Expected to be present and available during the proposal submission process. ORGA coordinates the submission of all proposals. If, under some circumstances, the PI is required to submit a proposal, ORGA must receive a copy of the submitted proposal to retain in its electronic files.
- It is ORGA's practice to submit proposals at least one (1) day before the submission deadline.
Office of Research and Grants Administration (ORGA)
- Answer questions and assist with completing PSAF and EFI forms.
- Review and be familiar with the RFP or submission guidance.
- Coordinate with the PI to assure that all state and federal certifications, assurances and letters of support are in place.
- May be, and in certain cases is, required to be responsible for proposal submission. Some Federal agency systems require submission to be verified from an ORGA account. ORGA will assist in the submission process and obtain any accounts the PI identifies as being required.
A reminder: No proposal may be submitted from Rhode Island College to an external sponsor without the Proposal Summary and Approval Form's completion. An incomplete form can and will delay a proposal, even to the point of missing the proposal deadline. PIs are strongly encouraged to complete the form and obtain all signatures at least two weeks prior to proposal deadline.
When a letter of intent (LOI) is required prior to submission of a full proposal, PIs should check with ORGA to see if the PSAF must be completed or can wait until full proposal submission. College officials will determine the need to receive approval prior to LOI submission based on the detail and scope required in the LOI.
ORGA Proposal Summary and Approval Form
ORGA Proposal Summary and Approval Budget Form
Award Notification
Sponsors may take up to six months or more to notify the college of proposal approval or disapproval. Notification is made directly to ORGA and/or the PI. When PIs are the sole notificant, they should forward notification to ORGA as soon as possible. If a proposal is returned for revisions, please contact ORGA. Budget revisions may require additional approval before resubmission. Negotiations must also be handled primarily by ORGA.

10G Bypass Switch for Fail-safe Connectivity of In-line Network Security and Performance Appliances
Improve the performance of Industry standard IPS appliances and other in-line devices that rely on internal bypass mechanisms. Net Optics 10 GigaBit Fiber Bypass (iBypass) Switch with Heartbeat is the industries first high-speed device for reliable in-line or IPS appliance fail-over protection. As networks evolve, the 10 GigaBit iBypass satisfies the requirements for support of 10 Gbps network and monitoring tool connections.
Integrated iTap technology delivers SNMP reporting and management features. Available Net Optics management software, delivers a comprehensive view of all iTap-enabled devices and their operating status. IT security professionals can now remotely monitor link traffic and configuration parameters, ensuring more efficient security management. Bi-directional indicators display traffic utilization and peak traffic rates via GUI or a front panel display to help identify possible network or application anomalies before a major outage.
Link Fault Protection
Exclusive "Heartbeat and Link Fault Detect" features allow an iBypass Switch and in-line or IPS appliance to share state information. A configurable Heartbeat packet sent from the iBypass Switch helps identify link anomalies, possible SW outages or device failures. In the event of a failure, redeployment of an appliance or a software malfunction, traffic is routed away from the in-line appliance using Fast Path™ switching technology through the iBypass Switch to ensure maximum traffic forwarding performance.
XFP Flexibility
The XFP based Monitor Ports provide the flexibility to monitor network links with IPS appliances that may contain dissimilar interface transceivers. An IPS can be located beyond the specifications of an SR XFP and would require the use of LR XFPs. The base 10 GigaBit chassis requires the additional purchase of two XFP conversion kits.
New Remote Management Capabilities
Net Optics Web Manager offer two new levels of remote management capability depending on your IT needs. These new software tools provide for easy to read security and performance information from either a single device or all of the iTap enabled devices in your network.
Web Manager
Net Optics Web Manager, a browser-based interface allows for single device configuration and status monitoring. Web Manager displays all configuration, status, and traffic data on a single page. Changes to the configuration can be made with a few clicks of the mouse from any browser.
Uninterrupted Traffic
The iBypass Switch supports fail-safe monitoring with any 10 Gbps attached appliances. While the iBypass Switch or attached appliance receives power, the iBypass diverts network traffic through the appliance. For example, in the event an IPS appliance loses power, traffic continues to flow through the iBypass, no longer routed to the IPS appliance.
Once power is properly restored, network traffic is seamlessly diverted to the IPS appliance once again, allowing it to resume its critical functions. This fail-over feature also allows attached appliances to be removed, replaced or upgraded when needed without network downtime.
For special applications, the iBypass trigger, heartbeat rate, and heartbeat packet can be customized.

So long as Hasbro doesn't blow it, but I want to know. How is this going to work? Yes, now that Hasbro has the rights for the Af and MM lines, the old Galoob size guidelines are no longer in effect. The ships can be larger then 6 inches. But how will they do Dooku's SS? Will the sails unfold from the ship itself or will they be a seperate plastic sail that clips on to the main body of the ship? If anyone has a idea, lets hear it.

Andy Souwer Talks About Kickboxing's Future and Training MMA
- Written by Dave Walsh
Andy Souwer is one of the few elite kickboxers in the world that also sports a grappling background that he keeps sharp, which has made him a perfect training partner for MMA fighters looking to improve their stand up. There have been rumors of Souwer looking to enter the world of MMA (including our interview with him a few months ago that he confirmed that), with him having been training in MMA for over a year and a lot of his students at Team Souwer have been training in MMA as well. This interview with GnP.de talks about Souwer's stance on MMA as well as his thoughts on the It's Showtime Fast and Furious tournament and what he saw the problems with K-1 were. [source]

Teachers to be trained to detect learning problems
KINGSTON, Jamaica (JIS) - Beginning this year, the Ministry of Education intends to train select primary school teachers to detect any underlying challenges students may be experiencing which are impeding their ability to learn.
This was revealed by portfolio Minister Ronald Thwaites at a Parent Teachers' Association (PTA) meeting at the Fergusson Primary School in Manchester on Wednesday.
"Starting this year, and going into the next couple of years, we want to take at least one teacher in every primary school and train them to be a special educator so they can look out for the difficulties that children are having," he said.
The minister said it is also expected that the ministry, through its regional offices, and the health care system, will seek to provide remedies for the problems identified.
"We want to do that testing for all ages, especially at the earliest age, because if we find out that a child has a problem early, it is easier to correct than when they get older and the problem becomes more difficult to control," he said.
He said this was crucial, pointing out that 30 per cent of the nation's children have some kind of learning need, which impedes their ability to function well. He said there could be a multiplicity of underlying factors that need to be addressed.
"Children have a variety of difficulties. Some children can't hear well, they need testing. Some children have emotional difficulties. Some children are troubled by what they (heard or saw) at home. Some children are hungry," he stressed.
Thwaites urged teachers in general to "try to rescue" the child that has a challenge.
"Please try and understand that even when the child is disruptive, by and large that is a symptom of something else. We have to stop the tendency to say he or she is bad. Why are they bad? It's (normally) a deeper problem," he said.
He also told parents not to be ashamed to seek the help of teachers if they discover that their child is not doing as well as he/she should.

We had one a long time ago in the Replicas/Props section, but its time for a new one with all the stuff going on like Mini-Busts, Statues, Maquettes Bust-Ups. So a bit of news for the 1st post.....
My Luke Skywalker X-Wing Pilot and Gamorrean Guard Minibusts arrived in the mail today! The Luke is 3001/7500 and the Gamorrean 183/4000. The Gamorrean came with the Princess Leia Bust-Up, and Luke came with the Han Solo Bust-Up. Couldnt find the one that came with Luke at first -kind of tucked away in the foam.
Has anybody else noticed that GG has the WORST handwriting, I can barely tell what number I have on each product. The number on the bottom of my Luke bust is almost non-existant.
Anyhow, the Clone Wars Obi-Wan Maquette has shipped out and is arriving at several etailers. I believe the ARC Trooper and Padme are shipping next!

19 January 2009
2008 winner Andre Greipel (HTC-Columbia) has signalled his intention to reclaim his crown after sprinting to victory in the opening stage of the 2010 Santos Tour Down Under.
The German sprinter was a clear winner ahead of RadioShack's Gert Steegmans (BEL) with another Belgian rider, Jurgen Roelandts (Omega-Pharma-Lotto) third in a bunch sprint for first blood in the first UCI ProTour event for the season.
The 141 km stage from Clare to the finish in the Barossa Valley town of Tanunda took the race through some of the world's premium winegrowing regions and fabulous weather saw 92,000 people turn out to cheer on the world class field.
"It was a good final and a good warm up for the team," said Greipel. "We took responsibility for the whole stage, the team made the difference, we started as a team and finished as a team."
Greipel crossed the line in a time of 3hr15min30sec and earned a ten second bonus for the win to put him in the Santos race leader's jersey with Steegmans now four seconds behind in second place overall. Swiss rider, Martin Kohler (BMC) won both Jayco intermediate sprints of the day to knock six seconds off his race time putting him in third place overall, also four seconds behind Greipel.
HTC-Columbia took responsibility for the chase to reel in a trio of leaders who had escaped early in the stage and their work paid dividends at the end.
"We spoke to the other teams but nobody wanted to ride with us," said Greipel. "We have a strong team, I am on the podium but the whole team should be."
The stage began with a crash and a bang before it had even left the town of Clare. More than 30 riders bit the bitumen including Australian rider Cameron Meyer(Garmin-Transitions).
"I went down as part of the crash in the first 50 metres," said the World Champion track rider and newly crowned Australian time trial Champion. "I crashed pretty hard and banged up my knee.
"It was painful for the first hour but gradually got better, our team staff is great and really helping me out," he added. "Tomorrow's a new day."
Euskadel-Euskadi rider Gorka Izagirre (ESP) launched an very early attack but it didn't last and UniSA-Australia rider Timothy Roe then had a go taking with him, Kohler and AG2R la Mondiale rider Biel Kadri (FRA).
"At the start we had everyone represented with every move that went and I was just lucky enough to get away," said Roe who agreed the plan for the day for the team was to get someone in an early break.
The trio managed to gain a lead of almost ten minutes by the 45 kilometre mark and merrily made their way through both intermediate sprints at Riverton (44.6km) and Kapunda (74.5km) but as the race approached the Skoda King of the Mountain at 114km the chasing peloton was hot on their wheels.
Roe wasn't waiting to be caught and launched a solo attack at the foot of Menglers Hill and managed to stay clear to collect the climber's points across the summit cheered all the way by thousands of vocal fans who lined the road. The 20 year old was also awarded the Hindmarsh Most Aggressive Rider of the Day Jersey for initiating the break and snatching the Skoda jersey.
However after the climb HTC-Columbia began to make inroads in their hunt for the leaders eventually reeling them in to set up a furious, fast paced gallop to the line.
While Greipel was celebrating last year's winner, Allan Davis (Astana) was counting the cost of a communications mix up with his new team.
"I was just sort of riding within myself up the climb and just found myself 50 metres behind my teammates and (they) didn't realise," said Davis who nonetheless was still smiling despite seeing his hopes of defending his title slip away on Menglers Hill. "It was at a moment where we were at the top of the climb where everyone was on the edge of their limits ... because the guys just sort of got in front and dropped the wheel and took me and sort of 40 guys out.
"They didn't realise I wasn't on the back and left me behind."
"It's no problem, it's just one of those things, I was having a bit of a bad day as well, that's bike racing," he added. "It was partly new team teething problems, getting to know each other.
"The boys were doing the right thing, it was sort of one of those situations," said Davis who now hopes to claim at least a stage win.
Tomorrow's 133km Stage 2 will take the peloton from Gawler, north of Adelaide and through the Adelaide Hills to Hahndorf.
Official results will be posted on the official website as soon as they are available. Live stage coverage, start lists and race and associated events information will also be available on the official website. www.tourdownunder.com.au

About Jeff Masters
Cat 6 lead authors: WU cofounder Dr. Jeff Masters (right), who flew w/NOAA Hurricane Hunters 1986-1990, & WU meteorologist Bob Henson, @bhensonweather
By: Dr. Jeff Masters , 3:40 PM GMT on August 30, 2011
Record flooding continues in the Northeast from Irene's torrential rains. Hardest hit was Vermont, where heavy rains in the weeks prior to Irene's arrival had left soils in the top 20% for moisture, historically. Irene dumped 5 - 8 inches of rain over large sections of Vermont, with a peak of 11.23" at Mendo. The reading from Mendo was the greatest single-day rainfall in Vermont's history, according to wunderground's weather historian Christopher C. Burt, beating the 9.92" that fell at Mt. Mansfield on 9/17/1999 during the passage of Tropical Storm Floyd. The 13.30" that fell on East Durham, NY during Irene was just shy of New York State's all-time 1-day rainfall record: 13.70" at Brewster on 9/16/1999, from Tropical Storm Floyd.
Figure 1. Wunderphotographer 43BJAGER recorded this image of a house in Sharon, Vermont, that started out the week on the other side of this underpass.
According to the final Hurricane Irene summary from the NWS, the storm dropped 20" of rain in two locations, one in North Carolina and one in Virginia. Here are the highest rain amounts from the hurricane for each state:
Virginia Beach, VA: 20.40"
Jacksonville, NC: 20.00"
East Durham, NY: 13.30"
Freehold Twp, NJ: 11.27"
Mendon, VT: 11.23"
Ellendale, DE: 10.43"
New Hartford, CT 10.15"
Baxter St. Park, ME: 9.91"
Savoy, MA: 9.10"
Lafayette, PA: 8.82"
Pinkham North, NH: 7.33"
Warren, RI: 5.37"
Tropical Storm Katia forms
Tropical Storm Katia formed this morning in the far Eastern Atlantic off the coast of Africa. Katia will be in a moist, low wind shear environment with ocean temperature 1 - 2°C above the threshold needed to support a hurricane, and should be able to intensify to major hurricane strength when it passes to the north of the Lesser Antilles Islands 5 - 6 days from now. It is possible that some of the outer spiral bands of the storm might bring heavy rain squalls to the northern Lesser Antilles, but it would be a surprise if the core of the storm passed through the islands. The long term fate of Katia is unknown. Dr. Bob Hart's Historical Tropical Cyclone Probability web page suggests shows that tropical storms in Katia's current position have a 19% chance of hitting North Carolina, a 16% chance of hitting Canada, an 11% chance of hitting Florida, and a 47% chance of never hitting land.
Figure 2. The morning run of the GFS Ensemble prediction. The ensemble prediction was done by taking a lower-resolution version of the GFS model and changing the initial distributions of temperature, pressure, and humidity randomly by a few percent to generate an ensemble of 20 different computer projections of where Katia might go. The operational (highest-resolution) version of the GFS model (white line) is usually more accurate, but the ensemble runs give one an idea of the uncertainty in the forecast.
Katia is the 11th named storm this year, and comes a full twelve days before the half-way point of the Atlantic hurricane season. Climatologically, September 10 marks the half-way point. A typical hurricane season has just 10 - 11 named storms, so we've already had a whole season's worth of storms before reaching the half-way point. At this rate, 2011 will see 25 named storms, making it the 2nd busiest season on record, behind 2005. Katia's formation date of August 30 puts 2011 in 5th place for earliest date of arrival of the season's 11th storm. Only 2005, 1995, 1936, and 1933 had an earlier 11th storm.
Gulf of Mexico development possible late this week
Several of our best computer models for predicting formation of tropical cyclones, the GFS and ECMWF, are predicting that an upper level pressure interacting with a tropical wave now over the the Western Caribbean could combine to spawn a tropical depression in the Gulf of Mexico late this week or early next week. The formation location is likely to be off the coast of Louisiana or Texas, but the track of the system is hard to predict at this point.
Figure 3. Portlight volunteer Thomas Hudson clears a driveway yesterday in Hollywood, Maryland.
Portlight disaster relief effort in Maryland
Hurricane Irene heavily damaged the town of Hollywood, Maryland, when a tornado cut off electric power, water, and phone service. Portlight and Team Rubicon volunteers arrived before emergency personnel, after following up on a local tip. What they found was an isolated area whose plight was unknown to the larger community. Most residents were trapped at their homes by heavy debris. Portlight and Team Rubicon worked for two days to clear paths to each address, extract vehicles from debris, and cut down trees that constituted safety hazards. Portlight also instructed local residents how to operate and maintain chainsaws and safely clear debris. No other volunteer organizations or emergency personnel arrived at any time, and Portlight succeeded in meeting the specific needs of the underserved, unserved, and forgotten. Visit the Portlight blog to learn more; donations are always welcome.
I'll have a new post on Wednesday discussing if the evacuations and media hype surrounding Irene were excessive.

I am going to assume uniqueshotshells.com is now out of business? If this is true, it is a major bummer since they were the only place I could find 20 ga. poppers
I reload 12 ga for skeet, and have been reloading poppers following a recipe from Ballistic Products. Like much of what I do, it's an opportunity to earn about 80 cents per hour vs buying them. If you're dead set on 20 ga, you may be able to load your own if you have a reloader. I don't have any worries about the quality, but I DO have concerns about liability in our litigation rich society. I only shoot them myself, just in case.

text: Dudes and Dudessas, I don't think the new Snaggletooth (aka Zutton) figure has a giant mellon, I think he has a SMALL BODY! Think about the corrected vint figure and it's lack of height, and look at how Duros' gun looks a bit bigger in Snag's hand! Hasbro is including a drinking glass, a pistol, a bazooka (!!!) and extra articulation for kneeling and sitting, why would they make a big-head figure come with all this stuff as well? Look how big his hands are compared to his feet, his arms, his torso, I think this is a figure about the height of a Jawa with a normal-sized head, NOT a figure with a skull the size of the Death Star.

Every piece is 100% solid wood (no laminates, particle board, or veneers), carries a one-year warranty, and unlike other on-line stores we try to keep all items in constant stock for delivery to your home or office in just 2-3 weeks.

Today, we're sharing drawings from children in ChildFund's Angola programs. Enjoy!
Of all the kids that are given assistance, only a fraction are US children. There are MANY in our country who are in need. When will we invest in our own? Overseas seem so much more important. How will this country grow if we don't provide opportunities for our children? How will the world grow if we don't have a solid foundation?
We appreciate your comment. We agree that many children in the U.S. are in need of assistance. ChildFund has been working with local partners in some of the poorest counties in the U.S. since the 1950s.

NSA Scandal Creates Summer's Hottest Best Seller: Orwell's 1984
Isaac Asimov described George Orwell's dystopian novel 1984 as an "attempt to show what life would be like in a world of total evil, in which those controlling the government kept themselves in power by brute force, by distorting the truth, by continually rewriting history, by mesmerising the people generally."
The novel was written in 1948 and thus set just thirty-five years in the future. This purpose, Asimov explains, was "so that even men who were already in their early middle age at the time the book was published might live to see it if they lived out a normal lifetime."
Those men were around for the very beginning of the Digital Age and now their sons and daughters are remembering the warnings and apparently encouraging others to read it as well. Although sixty-four years have passed since the publication of 1984, sales of the novel have skyrocketed, up by a whopping 6,000% . The dramatic sales are attributed to revelations last week that the National Security Administration has been secretly using Big Data to collect information about the communications of Americans,
Here are ten passages from 1984 that are giving a new generation of readers pause:

About the Gallifreyan Embassy
The Gallifreyan Embassy is a Doctor Who fan organization founded in June 1985 originally serving the Long Island, New York area in the United States. Over the years it had expanded across the country. Today we are international.
In 2005 we celebrated two decades with a new revamped interactive web site (our previous website) and an international podcast, Doctor Who: Podshock reaching all over the world!
Join us for a trip of a lifetime as we celebrate Doctor Who past, present, and future as well as other British science fiction and fantasy.
In the mid 1980s, Doctor Who was reaching the peak of its popularity during its run on local PBS stations across the US at that time. It was a time before we would see the first return of Star Trek on television, the Star Wars saga had concluded itself which left many science fiction and fantasy fans looking for something new and different. For many of them, that was Doctor Who. More and more PBS stations started showing the series on a regular basis and were being introduced to new Doctors both the then current Doctor, Colin Baker as well as past Doctors they had never seen before such as William Hartnell, Patrick Troughton, and Jon Pertwee. Conventions took notice by booking more Doctor Who guests and dedicated Doctor Who conventions started to take hold in the US.
Without the internet being in our homes like today, it left many fans no release or connection with other fans in between conventions. This is where local Doctor Who clubs really excelled. Clubs such as the Gallifreyan Embassy held monthly meetings, published newsletters in which we interviewed various members of the cast and crew of the series, volunteered at PBS pledge drives, participated at conventions and other Doctor Who special events, as well as a host of other special activities that made fans, friends.
Three Decades Celebrating Doctor Who
Twenty Seven Today
This is what has become an annual posting here on the 18th of June each year… The Gallifreyan Embassy anniversary. Today marks 27 years since the organization was formed. What can I say that I haven't already said in my previous anniversary postings? Yeah, I can't believe so much time has passed… I believe I had said it before. Perhaps these photos that I took last week on the Long Island Raid Road say it all. We have come a long way since 1985. I never thought then that I would see train posters referencing Doctor Who in them as these do for BBC America.
Gallifreyan Embassy, Twenty Six Years and Counting / Bring Doctor Who Back to PBS [VIDEO]
Today (June 18, 2011) was the 26th anniversary of the Gallifreyan Embassy. Today we also recorded a Doctor Who: Podshock episode live over the net reviewing the spring 2011 series of Doctor Who. In the show we briefly touched upon the anniversary of the Gallifreyan Embassy and we were privileged enough to have a long time member and now a Podshock Supporting Subscriber call into the show, Stuart Natelson to share some of his memories with the organization.
Doctor Who: Podshock Podcast Companion App Bonus Episode 2
DW Podshock Podcast Companion App - Episode 02
Exclusive App Episode
Running Time: 0:34:48
In this bonus exclusive episode for the DW Podshock Podcast Companion App we include a segment from the Q&A session with Daphne Ashbrook (Grace from the 1996 Doctor Who movie) from last month's 25th anniversary event for the Gallifreyan Embassy. The complete interview and Q&A from the event is included in Doctor Who: Podshock 229 - Extra Edition. Plus Ken and Louis talk about the origins of the Gallifreyan Embassy, and more.
Hosted by Louis Trapani ( @LouisTrapani ) and Ken Deep ( @kendeep ).
This episode appears in the "Exclusives" section of the app.
Note: The app is currently only available for the Apple iOS (iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad), there is an Android version in the works. Currently there is a bug in the iPad version in which prevents the episodes from being listed, they appear blank (in both the regular episodes section and exclusive section), but if you tap the topmost slot, you will hear the latest episode.
An Article About Last Tuesday's Gallifreyan Embassy 25th Anniversary Event
A heads up for those may not have caught the tweets from myself as well as @GEmbassy and @Podshock that there's another article in the Mineola Patch about our most recent 25th anniversary event for the Gallifreyan Embassy which was held last Tuesday at Eleanor Rigby's in Mineola, NY.
'Doctor Who' Actress Visits Mineola for Fan Club's 25th Anniversary - Mineola, NY Patch:
"'What started in 1985 with newsletters and meetings, in 2010 is now an online presence like the website or podcasts and things,' Louis Trapani told fellow fans of the 40-plus year British sci-fi series 'Doctor Who' gathered at Eleanor Rigby's Tuesday night. 'But there's still nothing better than good old-fashioned people getting together and having a good time and we have a great community of Doctor Who fans on Long Island.'
Along with fellow fan Ken Deep, Trapani is head of the 'Gallifreyan Embassy,' billed as the largest 'Doctor Who' fan club on Long Island, and which is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year. Deep said that it was 'fitting' that the group was in Mineola because club member Beth Trekman had been working at the Mineola post office where the original club newsletters were mailed. 'You used to see Mineola as our paid postage meter-thingy from the post office,' Deep said. 'Mineola has a special place in our hearts.'
Trapani said he decided to start a 'Doctor Who' fan club on Long Island in 1985 'since there was nothing there at that time, (and) since there was nothing there I said 'hey, I'll start it' and little did I know 25 years later they're still talking about it.'"

Join Daphne Ashbrook in Celebrating 25 Years of the Gallifreyan Embassy
Come and join us for a very special event celebrating 25 years of the Gallifreyan Embassy on Tuesday, the 16th of November 2010 with our very special invited guest, the lovely Daphne Ashbrook!
We have been celebrating the quarter of a century mark of the Gallifreyan Embassy all this year. If you missed our last big event in May, here's another opportunity to join in on the fun!
Joining us at the event is the always lovely Daphne Ashbrook (Grace Holloway in the 1996 Doctor Who movie).
Date: Tuesday, 16 November 2010
Time: 7pm Eastern until (to be announced)
Location: Eleanor Rigby's • 113 Mineola Blvd., Mineola, NY
Cover: $20.00 (Podshock Supporting Subscribers receive a 20% discount)
The event is taking place at Eleanor Rigby's in Mineola, NY. As you may have guessed by the name, it is a Beatles themed venue. It is very accessible from the LIRR train station as well as the Long Island Expressway and Northern & Meadowbrook State Parkways and there is plenty of parking in the rear. They offer a varied selection of menu options for food and beverages. Visit their website for more details and menu offerings. (Please note that the cover charge does not include food or drinks).
For 25 years now the Gallifreyan Embassy has been celebrating the adventures of a certain Time Lord through time and space. Now we are coming together to mark the milestone at this event which is open to everyone (you don't need to have been or be a member of the Gallifreyan Embassy).
A Special Anniversary Event?
As you already know if you read my previous post (It Was 25 Years Ago Today…), that today marks the 25th anniversary of the Gallifreyan Embassy.
Over the past few months we have been discussing having some sort of special anniversary event to mark the occasion this year. You may remember last year we held an event in Manhattan for our 24th anniversary in which we paired up with a monthly DWNY meet up and brought the lovely Daphne Ashbrook (Dr. Grace Holloway from the 1996 Doctor Who movie) to the event. See Happy Anniversary to Us… for further details.
We would like to something special for our 25th as well. It would be an event in the NY area, perhaps on Long Island as that is where it all began, yet still be accessible to our friends in NYC. Maybe a dinner event? Would you be interested in attending?
It Was 25 Years Ago Today, The Gallifreyan Embassy Began…
It was a quarter of century ago today, as hard as it is for me believe, is when the Gallifreyan Embassy began. Unbeknownst at the time, it was the day after the Discovery Channel was launched. It was also the day after the launch of the space shuttle Discovery (STS-51-G) which marked the first Arab and Muslim in space (payload specialist Sultan bin Salman bin Adulaziz Al Saud). Yes, it was 1985. Ronald Reagan was in the White House, Commodore launches the Amiga personal computer while NeXT is founded by Steve Jobs after leaving Apple Computer.
Just two weeks before we went Back to the Future in the theaters, the Gallifreyan Embassy of Long Island officially began.
Gallifreyan Embassy 25th Anniversary Seal
2010 marks the 25th Anniversary of the Gallifreyan Embassy. Join as we celebrate 25 years of Time and Relative Dimensions in Space!
Happy Anniversary to Us! 24 Years of Time and Space.
It was 24 years ago today, that the Gallifreyan Embassy was founded. It was a different world at that time. The current Doctor was Colin Baker. His stories had just started to make their way to the States. Doctor Who was being shown across the country in the US via local PBS stations. There was no BBC America, no Sci-Fi Channel (or "Syfy"), there wasn't even the World Wide Web then. There were conventions, both dedicated Doctor Who conventions and science fiction conventions with Doctor Who guests and many fans looking to meet and feed their addiction in between cons.
Gallifreyan Embassy Volunteering at WLIW
The Gallifreyan Embassy would usually take WLIW (the Long Island PBS station that showed Doctor Who at the time) by storm during their pledge drives volunteering during their British science-fiction line up nights. Here is the gang back in the '80s in this classic black and white photo by Keith. From left to right is the "Anti-Doctor" (Chase), Louis, Andrea, Denise, Pete "Bug", Ken, Brian (standing behind Ken), PJ, Rob (all the way in the back), Al, Amy (next to PJ), Tim (front seated), and Keith himself (standing). Thank you Keith for allowing us to share this photo.
Early Gallifreyan Embassy Painted Banner

The banner traveled with the Embassy at all its public appearances in the early years. This slide of the Embassy logo was used on screen at PBS stations such as WLIW during pledge drives when we volunteered. Photo and artwork by Louis Trapani.

"To become competent in governing others, we must first learn to govern ourselves"
Waite Phillips
Wow. I think somebody needs a hug. I don't have a hearing problem, I am just as stubborn as you are.
P.S. Not sure which grandkid you remind me of most.
"To become competent in governing others, we must first learn to govern ourselves"
Waite Phillips
It occurs to me that Obama was also raised with strong communist indoctrination: his grandparents were avowed communists; F.M. Davis was his mentor. I'm not sure about his mother's political leanings, but I believe she tended to follow her parents' views.
Communism is basically atheistic. Thus, there is a good chance that Obama is neither Muslim nor Christian ... but rather wears the garb of whichever will best serve his political purposes at any given moment.
"Know in your heart that all things are possible. We couldn't conceive of a miracle if none ever happened." -Libby Fudim
I don't use the PM feature, so just email me direct at the address shown above.
Since the economic recovery started in June 2009, household incomes are down 5.7%, the Sentier data show, and they are down more than 8% since Obama took office. We are doing worse in the recovery than we did in the recession. But hey if your broke on welfare, food stamps, you can get a free phone seems like a great reason to keep him in the Wh we know whose back he has.
Obama added 6 trillion OF HIS OWN DEBT he told us he would cut it in half (his own words hold him accountable) he knew how much the debt was so thats no excuse. Less people are working today than when he took office. People are giving up looking for a Job in America thats shameful, and we have a Pres giving cell phones to low income people to buy their vote. There is no limit as to how low this guy will go.

text: Read that and tell me that's not derogatory. It's frankly worse because its a personal attack. I've never attacked Evan, Stan or Bon personally although I do question Evans methods and motives at times. Hard not to do with his his behaviors all over the Internet. Disagreeing with training methods is not personal. If they want to take their ball and go home fine, just don't start a debate on something and then whine when you can't make a point.

Stephen King News Roundup: September 23
Lots of news this week, so let's get right to it!
First off, the Stephen King site provided more details this week on the book tour for the new 11/22/63. So far, the announced events include Octavia Books in New Orleans on November 12 and November 14 at Barnes & Noble in Sarasota, FL.
The Savannah Book Festival also announced an appearance by King in February 2012.
And, of course, Stephen King speaks tonight as the headline attraction at the Fall for the Book festival in the Washington DC area. The Kingcast has a correspondent in the audience, so there may be a report from the event coming up…
In honour of Pennywise being our new roundup anchor, I should cover this interview. A new blog to me named October Country (love that name!) interviews Brian Freeman of Cemetery Dance Publications about their upcoming 25th anniversary edition of "It." Great interview. I'm looking forward to becoming better acquainted with October Country.
King's birthday this week occasioned a number of pieces. The "Screen Junkies" site posted a capsule bio this week; nothing new, but nothing outrageously wrong, either. Writer Kathy Ceceri posted her essay "Happy Birthday Stephen King, writing instructor extraordinaire" on Wired.com. Number One Fans may take issue with some of her points, but can wholeheartedly support her conclusion:
"The work of Stephen King isn't just a terrific way to pass the time; they're great lessons in how to write fiction. So Happy Birthday, Stephen King! Your fans, unwitting or not, salute you."
A t-shirt site posted a funny mashup of Ronald McDonald and Pennywise for a limited-time sale. I've got my order in:
Speaking of images, Boing Boing writer Mark Frauenfelder posted a series of his favorite images from the "Monster Brains" site, profiling some great monster and science fiction comic books.
NPR published a list of listeners' 100 top science-fiction / fantasy books. While King fanatics might be offended by the list not being composed ENTIRELY of his works, two did make the list: The Dark Tower at #23 and The Stand at #25. My guess? Too many contenders diluting the voting pool.
Movies and TV were also under scrutiny this week. Oh No They Didn't (Livejournal shoutout!) profiled 13 upcoming King movie projects, while Digital Spy posted an interview with Melissa George, who is currently playing Mattie Devore in the Bag of Bones miniseries. And the ever-useful Talk Stephen King blog posted a summary of upcoming projects.
You may remember a Kingcast interview with Nicole Christian, who wrote her own version of "Barn Dance" from Bag of Bones. Well, indie record label Alonetone has just published a whole album inspired by The Talisman. "Sunny, sorta…" is a collection of 12 songs by artists on the label. It fits the mood of the book pretty well, I think. The songs are free for streaming or download. I'm sure the performers would appreciate your support. Here's one of my favorites from the collection, Queen of the World:
And finally, the New York City site of Examiner profiled a new collection of fashion inspired by the Dark Tower series. The Luminaa collection, from Texas designer Dorothy Williams, has the theme "Live in a world of cowboys and robots." Pretty nice looking clothes, if you ask me. But what do I know? Judge for yourself if this is something Susan Delgado would wear to a dance in Barony House, or Susannah Dean to dinner with the old folks in Lud :
