If you have family in Manchester then you will know all about the flood damaged 1851 census and how it was unreadable for years. The Manchester & Lancashire Family History Society (MLFHS) some time ago started a project to transcribe what they could of the census.
It was a long project and during the time it took to complete technology has advanced and recently Ancestry.co.uk have produced the best possible images and indexed them. However it is said there is some difference between the 2 indexes, so it is worthwhile checking them both. The MLFHS index is available for free and the Ancestry one is on their subscription site.

text: It has been argued by some that Figure Skating has been in decline in terms of popularity in the United States and Europe (although it remains extremely popular in Asia) compared to the 1980's and 1990's (although some disagree). In some parts of Europe, for example, it now receives very little TV coverage, with no coverage whatsoever of the Grand Prix. Is there a problem? If you think there is, what do you believe the ISU should do to turn things around in the United States and Europe? Should the ISU make more of an effort to attract more sponsors to generate more money that can be invested back into the sport? Should the ISU do more to attract greater TV coverage - coverage that will inspire the next generation to take up the sport, increase the fanbase, and encourage more entrepreneurs to stage competitions and shows? Is the new CoP scoring system the problem? Should it be changed back to the old 6.0 system? Has skating become too much of a technical/jumping competition? Has this damaged skating as a spectacle? Should more be done to encourage more artistry? Should the age eligibility regulations be scrapped/relaxed to allow talented juniors in to senior competitions? Was one of the reasons why skating was so popular in the 1990's the fact that the likes of Michelle Kwan were allowed to skate in seniors at an early age? Has skating declined because there are no longer the personalities with charisma/glamour that there used to be to attract audiences? Or do today's stars have just as much charisma and glamour as the old ones? Or do we even need skaters with charisma and glamour? Does it even matter if Figure Skating is not as popular as it used to be? Or is there even a problem to begin with?

Wayne State University Law School Alumni Appointed to Boards
DETROIT (July 26, 2007) – Wayne State University alumni and attorneys at Miller Canfield, Robert E.L. Wright and Pamela Enslen, were recently appointed to Bar Association boards.
Wright, a 1980 Law School alumnus and an attorney-mediator in Miller Canfield's Grand Rapids office, was appointed to a one-year term as co-chair of the American Bar Association's Section of Dispute Resolution Standing Committee on ADR Practice Management, Business, and Skills Development.
Enslen, a 1981 Law School alumna and a principal in the Kalamazoo office of Miller Canfield, was appointed to the board of directors of the Kalamazoo County Bar Association.
"Wayne State University Law School congratulates both Robert and Pamela on their recent appointments," said Law School Dean Frank H. Wu. "They are tremendous leaders and visionaries and will greatly benefit the boards on which they serve."
According to a Miller Canfield release, Wright is a Harvard-trained facilitative mediator and neutral arbitrator with more than 25 years' experience in litigation for plaintiffs and defendants and has been listed in The Best Lawyers in America and Michigan Super Lawyers 2006. Enslen's practice includes litigation and dispute resolution, labor and employment law, and criminal defense. She is a member of the American Bar Association's House of Delegates where she sits on several committees.
Founded in 1927 as Detroit City Law School, Wayne State University Law School is the only public law school in the Detroit metropolitan area. The Law School is accredited by the ABA and is a member of AALS; has five live-client clinics; the Arthur Neef Law Library with a collection of over 620,000 volumes in a variety of formats; and a state-of-the-art building with lecture and court facilities, multi-media and distance learning classrooms, and offices for student groups. The Law School currently has 800 students and approximately 11,000 living alumni working in 48 states and 15 foreign countries.

Anxiety Disorders
Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) is a common condition that is characterized by excessive worrying and anxious feeling. GAD is believed to affect nearly 6.8 million Americans every year. Individuals with GAD often feel edgy, nervous, uncomfortable, and jittery. Individuals with GAD may feel fretful with the feeling that something bad may occur, worry over minor or insignificant things, or worry about the future. These feelings may be accompanied by physical complaints such as insomnia, changes in appetite, muscle aches and pains, heart palpitations, sweating, and tension headaches.
Anxiety disorders are one of the most common psychological disorders in the US. However, these anxiety disorders do not generally become a problem for most individuals unless the symptoms begin to interfere with work, school, or social aspects of daily life. Anxiety disorders are also believed to contribute to higher rates of substance abuse, and are associated with other medical disorders that have symptoms similar to GAD. This may cause diagnostic confusion for primary care providers.
Many studies have shown that there are effective therapies for GAD, including various numbers of medications and talk therapies. Moreover, there appear to be effective herbal and other alternative medicine remedies available for treating anxiety symptoms that may have fewer side effects than conventional anti-anxiety medication. However, these remedies have not been well studied using rigorous state of the art scientific methods.
Some ways to differentiate between normal worry and GAD include:
- You are able to control your worrying
- Your worries do no cause you significant distress
- Your worries are about realistic concerns
- You have only short stints of worrying
- Your worrying is not debilitating to your everyday life
- Your worrying interrupts your sleep, job, daily activities, social life
- You are unable to control your worries
- Your worries are extremely upsetting and nerve-racking
- You worry almost every day for at least six months
- You have physical symptoms associated with your worries

Dozens of rockets and mortar rounds were fired at Israel after their military units killed six militants in the Gaza Strip. The Islamist Hamas movement that currently is in charge of Gaza said its armed wing responded to the Israel attack with its own attack. About 53 rockets and mortars were fired into Israel territory. Each side accuses the other of violating the truce. Israel sources said their troops entered Gaza in order to destroy a tunnel they believe was to be used to kidnap Israel soldiers. "A unit of paratroopers, backed by sappers and the air force intervened, armed terrorists opened fire at the troops from the structure above the tunnel." Israel claims it returned fire and killed the six.
Israel argues they acted to prevent the emergence of a serious threat. The incident merely highlights the importance of establishing a process by which potential threats to peace are headed off rather than waiting for the event to occur.

Ani Choying has always believed that nuns have a great desire and potential to make the world a better place, if only given equal opportunities. Arya Tara School, opened in 2000, aims to equip nuns to help and to serve their communities in a professional and humanitarian capacity. With a fully developed and realized potential, she believes that her nuns will be able to not only help themselves, but also to help others. In brief, Arya Tara School aims to help young nuns bring their compassion into fruition, actively, effectively, skillfully and meaningfully. Traditionally, says Ani Choying, women's education is neglected in Asia. "most of the girls at my nunnery are from rural areas either in Tibet, India or Nepal, patriarchal cultures where women are expected just to cook, clean and bear children. Even in the nunnery, they are taught to read classical Tibetan in order to do the religious practice, but many cannot write their own names." Her school would educate them in Literacy, Maths, Science, Medical and Nursing skills, and Buddhist philosophy.
To finance her school, Anila generates income through musical endeavors. In 1997, Ani-la began performing and recording Cho for audiences around the world, connecting Westerners to Tibetan culture and music. Ani Choying has gained wide popularity in Nepal as well, after she released her first Nepali CD "Moments of Bliss" in 2004 for which she was bestowed with laurels for her fantastic soothing voice.
A supporter of the school once wrote: "We were invited to see a concert by a Buddhist nun at a 500 year-old monastery in Patan. Thinking this would be a unique experience, we jumped at the opportunity. To our delight we were entertained by a talented, witty and charming woman performing traditional Tibetan songs and chants. At the end of the concert we learned that this humble Buddhist nun was performing to raise money to build a monastery and school for less fortunate woman and children in Nepal, India and Tibet. Her selflessness and commitment was so great that we felt we must help support her cause."

Arsenal have been drawn against Serie A side AS Roma in the last 16 of the Champions League. Arsenal.com will keep you up to date with all of the Giallorossi's results until the two sides clash on Tuesday, February 24.
Torino 0-1 Roma
Saturday, January 18.
Former Arsenal striker Julio Baptista struck a spectacular last-minute winner for Roma at Torino on Saturday.
The side from the capital won a cagey affair in the dying seconds when Philippe Mexes swung over a cross from the right. Under pressure, the Brazilian chested the ball down and then executed a gymnastic bicycle kick to plant the ball in the far corner.
The victory moved Roma up to eighth in Serie A. They are still 13 points off leaders Inter but are closing in on the European places.Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

I just built one today, I liked the idea so much. I cut a 1 1/2" circle out of some of the scrap plastic, then used it like a sliding flap over some small holes drilled in the vac lid close to the hose. I attached it with a 10-32 screw and nut,(off center) that way I can slide it over exposing some of the holes and reduce the suction. Seems it will work really well. Cant wait for a chance to try it

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Smokin Mike
I´m Mike from germany! I´ve got an 64 Impala 4 door and want to chop it, too. There are some people in sweden who chopped 63/64 four door Chevies. I try to get email addies from them, but until this day, i couldn´t get one.
Do you see the flat green car next to the red one on this pic? It´s an 63 Four door! Unfortunately i don´t have better pics of it in the net But i have a german magazine where a chopped 63 is in, i could scan it and send it to you?
So on this one you can see it a bit better.....hope it helps your decission. I just can say: Chop it, i´ll try it too
|Ryan , click on the "search" button in the middle of the page on this site you may find some past discussions about that subject that may be helpful to you. Also search the web for articles or "How To Books" on chopping tops. Books A Million may have something also. I don't think anyone can tell you ALL of the details that it takes to do a chop. I know, I've done a few and something new always comes up that you didn't expect or something works out better than you thought it might. Like using the rear glass & frame from another car that may fit & look good without the exspence of having a custom glass made. A good imagination always helps.
$ doors are becoming more and more popular everyday due to the fact that people has families and when going to cruise ins you can always have another couple with you. There is a great convenience with 4 doors. Instead of chopping the top I would shave the doors therefore you don't see all the handles, drop it down, put some larger wheels and tires on it, and trick out the interior. You could even go with buckets and a console if you want. Put some money into the engine and pipes to get a real good sound out of it, and I guarantee you will turn quite a few heads. Anything old is good whether it be a 2 door, 4 door, or a wagon. This is just my $.02 worth but I wouldn't chop it and take a chance on something going terribly wrong and then have to end up making a 4 door convertible with a Carson top.
|Never chopped one of these but hey they cut real easy... But really, that rear glass may be a problem. Good luck. I think it would be cool
63 Impala 4 dr top chop
I just picked up a very clean 63 all original Impala 4 dr for the wife. I'm not big on 4 dr's but with 3 kids it makes a nice cruiser. I do want to customize it some as I just can't help myself. I thought about a 3" chop. I'm no body man but have extensive fabrication training. Has anyone ever doen this on this car before? With the rounded windows and sloped back c pillar is this as easy as say an old truck? I live in SW Missouri. I would be willing to trade some engine work, drivetrain work,or chassis fab. for someone to help me. I would also have interest in a well known shop that might be close if someone knows of someone. The car was appraised at 5000.00 in 1990 but it's just something in my blood that keeps me from driving a stock car. It's got a good running 283 in it. About 30 min. after I had it at home I had the hood up checking it over and the wife comes flying out telling me that this thing isn't getting one on those things that stick out of the hood so get it out of my head,lol. I guess she does know me. I'm planning on narrow up the stock rear axle, chop the top, slam it in the weeds and go through the 283 with very streetable perfomance mods. I think we might put a 700R4 trans in to replace the powerglide. Don't have a problem with glides but feel I would rather put it in my vega if it doesn't sell. Thanks for the info, Ryan

This is a cross post from Phira. Phira is a recent college graduate with a degree in Biology and Women's Studies. She currently works at a research institute in Boston and intends to eventually earn a medical or public health degree. The feminist issues she feels most strongly about are sexual/intimate violence prevention, health and reproductive health/rights, and living progressively as a constant learning experience. She lives outside of Boston with her adorable parakeet, who tends to get a lot of air-time on Phira's blog, ThinkWeirdThoughts.blogspot.
The language we use every day can be highly problematic. Some words have highly negative and hurtful connotations, and many of those words we are discouraged from using, or perhaps we use them in order to protest. Sometimes, I favor the use of these words. For example, like many of my peers, I feel comfortable in reclaiming the term "queer" as an adjective to describe non-(conservatively described)-traditional sexuality (and "gender queer" for the same with regard to gender). "Queer" is still often used as an insult, in which case it's certainly not appropriate or acceptable. But it's being reclaimed.
However, there are two words that I've recently noticed too many of my friends and peers using. These two words are ones that I've used incredibly frequently in the past. However, though a lot of hard work, I've been eliminating them both from my vocabulary.
It's not easy. I slip up. But it's gotta happen. Otherwise, the door is open for discriminatory language of all times.
These two words are "retarded" and "lame."
The word "retarded," as far as I know, means slowed or delayed. I'm mostly used to seeing it in a musical context (ritard/ando). But when it's used to describe a person who is developmentally delayed or challenged, it takes on an extremely negative meaning, much in the same way that the word "gay" still (unfortunately) can.
Argue all you want that the word "retarded" is medical, or that it's not meant in a bad way. That's all I heard it used as these days. "Oh man, that sucks! That's so retarded!" Or "Ugh, I'm such a retard/'tard." Maybe it would bother me less if people actually DID use it appropriately, instead of as an insult or slur. I've only seen it used as the latter lately.
It never occurred to me that "lame" was offensive until I began frequenting Shakesville. Even then, I think it's the most frequently uttered mistake word in the comments section (I've slipped, and someone today did, too). But once it was explained to me, which took about a second, it made perfect sense. It probably already makes sense if you think about it, even without an explanation.
"Lame" is ableist language. Ableism is one of those weird disciminations, one that no one seems to notice unless 1) they experience it and are perceptive, or 2) they're made aware of it while studying other forms of discriminations, or 3) something else, since categories are flawed. But it's real, as weird as it sounds (weird if, again, you've never thought about it). It's when people are discriminated against because they have some sort of illness or disability or SOMETHING that makes it difficult sometimes/all the time to do things that are expected of what are commonly thought of as "normal people."
There's an intersection and crosswalk near work that's ableist (or the designers are). There isn't enough time to cross the 4 lanes of traffice and two islands during the walk signal. I'm not kidding; I'm able to walk/run just fine, and I have to start crossing before the walk signal and practically run across in order to be halfway across the final lane before the light IN that lane turns green.
Can you imagine what it would be like if I were in a wheelchair? Or on crutches? Or if I had an injury that made it nearly impossible to walk quickly? It would take 2-3 walk signals to get across.
I'm not lame in the sense that my limbs are in fine working order (for now). But I have a chronic illness (in remission right now, yay!). It's been disabling in the past. And that's what the word is referring to: not "normal"-abled people. So when you say something is "lame" when you mean, say, "lousy," you're essentially saying that people who are not "normal"-abled are lousy.
"But Stephanie! I'm just so used to these words! And you know me; I'm a good person who doesn't discriminate against people with mental physical disability. You know I don't mean those words in a bad way against them, right?"
You don't have to use those words anymore; it'll just take a conscious effort to stop. And if you just can't think of words to replace those ones, you're just being lazy and not very creative.
"But what if I mess up?"
I mess up all the time. But that doesn't mean that I give up and I have to keep using this language. It just means I have to try harder. For example, I used "lame" much more frequently than I did "retarded," so it was harder to stop using. So, if I find myself beginning to say it, I just change it to "lousy." It's easy; since they have the same first letter, I've got time to quickly change words (employed very much at Zeldathon, by the way).
Here's the thing: I can't force anyone to stop using these words. But I will ask that you stop using them in conversation with me.
Final notes:
- I put "normal" in quotation marks when talking about disability because normal is subjectively defined. Additionally, someone who is currently "normal" might not be tomorrow. And depending on the activity in question, different people might be able or disabled.
- I don't HATE anyone, by the way, for using these words. You all are my friends. I'm not trying to make you feel guilty; I'm trying to decrease discriminatory language. Don't think I'm angry with anyone.

'"It's probably the most important piece," Sabres coach Lindy Ruff said Friday in HSBC Arena. "There's not many goalies in this league you can beat with shots from past the tops of the circles unless he has to fight to see it. Paul's job is to make sure he gets in that lane to read where the shots are going to come from. I thought he did a real good job with that."'

Hunger Games Set Secrets!
"My boyfriend, Tristan Klier, had his winter formal coming up, but it was girls-ask-guys, so I had to ask him. I'm home-schooled so I was really excited for the chance to get to go to a school dance. When I asked Tristan if he wanted to go, he said he didn't because he was really bad at dancing. But I convinced him to go with our group of friends."
"My friends Pia and Haley were going to the dance too and they came over to get ready at my house. I wore gold glitter eye makeup. I just thought it was really pretty."

Two former Arsenal youngsters are on the move from their respective clubs this summer.
Burnley's Danny Karbassiyoon is joining Dutch club AZ Alkmaar on trial with a view to a permanent move. The 21-year-old spent the 2004/05 campaign at Highbury, making three appearances and scoring one goal in the Carling Cup win at Manchester City.
Elsewhere, former Arsenal trainee Liam Chilvers, has joined Preston on a free transfer from newly-promoted Championship rivals Colchester.
The 24-year-old defender said: "I've been with Colchester for two years and had good times there. We got promoted and had good cup runs.
"But in the long run I feel this move will benefit my career. Preston have been challenging for promotion recently and I had to take this opportunity."

Here is a paint up of a BKBT dented Jango helmet casted by Cruzer. Posting this thread more as a "pay it foreword" than a showing of my paint work. I've gather up the "know how" here on the TDH from current and members who have moved on. Want to share this with all members especially the new guys.
I choose the dented Jango lid cause you don't see them that often these days.
(Gonna jump to the meat and potatoes of this thread) we all know of a good set of rattle can colors for the Jango helmet, which are Rust-Oleum "Royal Blue", Krylon "Ocean Blue" and Rub and Buff for the silver parts. Now I've come to find out that Krylon Ocean Blue is not available in the standard 12oz can but is available in the small 3oz cans.
In my next post I"ll show some progress pics.

- This dissertation explores how entrepreneurs develop their employees to qualify them for their tasks in entrepreneurial firms, and analyzes in what way effectuation and entrepreneurial passion determine how entrepreneurs influence their employees.
- Industrial Ecology's Hidden Philosophy of Nature. Fundamental Underpinning to Use Nature as Model (2001)
- In its scientific sense, industrial ecology represents an emerging transdisciplinary field of studying industrial systems and their fundamental linkage with natural ecosystems. As a short form, industrial ecology is called the "science of sustainability". At the bottom of industrial ecology there is a refreshingly different perspective of understanding nature as model in comparison with other scientific disciplines and concepts of understanding nature e.g. in terms of "sack of resources", "biophysical limit", "something outside", "surrounding", or just "environment" as opposed to industrial systems. The keynote of industrial ecology's specific perspective of understanding nature is to balance the development of industrial systems with the constraints of natural eco-systems, analogous to an "industrial symbiosis". The goal is to contribute for laying a fundamental underpinning for industrial ecology in its scientific sense, in this case especially for its use of nature as model. Therefore an impressive battery of philosophical arguments is provided bringing to bear against the sort of probably raised fallacies and facile or hasty proclaimed critics by sceptics, hard-liners, and mainstream-scientists who often overlook industrial ecology's stimulating role towards sustainability.
- Internet-based environmental reports by companies - towards an efficient and customised corporate environmental reporting (2000)
- Corporate environmental reporting makes good business and environmental sense. A big challenge for companies is to utilize the technical benefit of state of the art IT, especially of Internet-technologies and Internet-services. In this paper an approach of internet-based environmental reports by companies is presented. Three different levels are discussed: The first level deals with the basics of corporate environmental reports (CER) by companies. Illustrating the order within the emerging field of CERs a morphological box is suggested (section 1). Building on this, general requirements for corporate environmental reports are outlined (section 2). On the second level, the general reporting requirements are specified by IT-relevant challenges, seen as starting points for internet-based environmental reports (section 3). The immense technical benefit of using the Internet towards efficient, integrated, interactive, hypermedia-featured, dialog-oriented, and customised environmental reporting is analysed (section 4). On the basis of the technical benefit analysis, the state of the art of internet-based CERs is presented (section 5). The third level refers to the IT-application turning from the basics, IT-challenges and technical benefit to consequences for environmental reporting companies in practice. Thereby a fundamental framework for internet-based CERs is sketched (section 6). Grounded on this framework a basic architecture of an IT-implementation is explained (section 7).
- Competitiveness and Spiteful Behavior (2012)
- I report on two experiments, which were designed to test theoretical predictions about individual behavior in a duopolistic setting. With quantity being the choice variable a simultaneous Cournot game and a sequential Stackelberg game were tested over two periods. The key feature of both models was that players were able to lower marginal cost for period two if they successfully outperformed their competition in period one in terms of profit. Experimental results suggest that in the Cournot game players are very competitive in period one but become Cournot players in period two. In the Stackelberg game Cournot play is modal, suggesting that players have preferences for equality in payoffs, which maybe brought about by punishment of Stackelberg followers and fear of punishment of Stackelberg leaders . Overall, players earned more money in the Stackelberg game than in the Cournot game.
- New Challenges in Time-Definite Vehicle Routing (2012)
- This thesis addresses challenges faced by small package shipping companies and investigates the integration of 1) service consistency and driver knowledge aspects and 2) the utilization of electric vehicles into the route planning of small package shippers. We use Operations Research models and solution methods to gain insights into the newly arising problems and thus support managerial decisions concerning these issues.
- Corporate Capital Budgeting – Success Factors from a Behavioral Perspective (2012)
- Capital budgeting or investment decisions have an essential influence on companies' performance. Instead of a rational choice, capital budgeting might be regarded as a process of reality construction. Research suggests that decision makers have only limited control over their own cognitive biases in this construction process. It is in this perspective that this paper intends to answer the following research question: What are behavioral determinants for a successful capital-budgeting decision process? The authors identify and discuss three behavioral success factors (reflective prudence, critical communication and outcome independence) for five stages of the capital budgeting process against the backdrop of the findings of the managerial and organizational cognition theory and cognitive psychology.

Multnomah University prepares students for meaningful careers that serve Jesus whether they're called to traditional ministry or the marketplace.
Stay connected to our community and help the next generation of Christian leaders become agents of positive change, whether they're serving across the street or across an ocean.
Oregon Business magazine ranked Multnomah University
#22 of 33 large nonprofits in its list of 100 top nonprofit organizations. The
article, "The 100 Best Nonprofits to Work for in Oregon 2009," reported the
results of an employee survey and an independent assessment of employers'
workplace practices. Oregon Business magazine based the study on their "100
Best Companies" series.
The list of best large nonprofits included the Oregon
Research Institute, the Make-A-Wish Foundation, and the American Cancer
Society. Multnomah ranked above well-known nonprofits such as the Girl Scouts,
the Oregon Humane Society and OHSU Foundation.
Organizations were ranked according to qualities such as
benefits and compensation, work environment, decision-making and trust, and
career development and learning. Companies were placed into small, medium, and
large categories according to employee number. More than 200 Oregon nonprofit
organizations participated in the survey.
"Multnomah has been a terrific place to work for a long
time," said President Daniel Lockwood. "In fact, Christianity Today conducted a
similar survey a few years ago with comparable results. Still, I'm always
gratified to know that our employees are pleased with the quality of our
workplace. So much of what makes Multnomah a special place to serve must be
attributed to these high-quality men and women who sincerely endeavor to
reflect Christ-likeness to one another in the workplace."
"It is good for us to periodically take the opportunity
to reflect on how we're doing as an employer," Director of Human Resources,
Tracy Moreschi, said. "I'm pleased that the results revealed not only that
Multnomah is a great non-profit to work for, but also that our employees value
Multnomah and are satisfied working here."
About Multnomah
Multnomah University is a fully accredited, private,
non-denominational, Christian institution of higher education, located in
Portland, Oregon. Made up of an undergraduate Bible college, a biblical
seminary, a graduate school, an adult degree completion program, and an online
distance-learning program, Multnomah issues bachelor's and master's degrees,
and professional certifications and endorsements.

Sykes, Record Free Throws Propel Phoenix in Opener
By: Andrew Gavin (@GBGavin)
GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) - It wasn't always pretty, and it certainly was not fast, but the Green Bay men's basketball team was able to use a record number of made free throws and a career-high 31 points from sophomore Keifer Sykes (Chicago, Ill.) to fight off visiting Chicago State and post a 72-67 season opening win at the Resch Center on Saturday afternoon.
A Chicago native, Sykes topped the previous career high of 27 that he posted in the team's last regular season game of 2011-12, a win at UIC last February. He did so by scoring 22 points after halftime and connecting on a Green Bay record 17 free throws (17-19). As a team, the Phoenix also broke a 31-year old program record for free throws made, hitting 41-for-48 (85.4%).
The Phoenix needed every one of the free throws and all of Sykes' heroics to overcome 30 turnovers and escape a feisty Chicago State team that jumped out to a 13-1 lead at the first media timeout.
"It was an ugly win, but I'll take 30 of them if I can get them," said third-year head coach Brian Wardle after Green Bay improved to 23-2 in home openers since 1987-88.
Green Bay scored 18 of the next 23 points and took its first lead on a pair of free throws by senior Brennan Cougill (Sioux City, Iowa) with 9:05 left in the first half. The Phoenix missed the first free throw of the night before making its next 16 attempts. Green Bay's shooting percentage was just 26.1 percent (6-for-23) at halftime, but 17-of-19 from the line helped the team to trail just 33-30.
Sykes had two thunderous dunks in the game, the first with 5:43 left in the first half and the second early in half two when he opened by scoring 13 of the team's first 19 points to turn the deficit into a 49-41 lead with 12:48 to play.
Chicago State refused to go away, however, and the teams traded leads over the next seven minutes. The Cougars led 65-61 with 5:09 to play. The Phoenix, who won 12 of its 14 home games a season ago, responded with the next eight points and never trailed the rest of the way.
Sykes fittingly had five points during the run to surpass his previous career high. He finished 7-of-14 from the field and added the 17 free throws to become the first Phoenix player under Wardle to score 30 or more points in a game. Sykes also added seven rebounds and three steals in 36 minutes. The last Green Bay player to score 30 or more was Troy Cotton, who had 36 at Akron on March 17, 2010.
The Phoenix won despite a 4-for-26 combined shooting day from the other four starters - Cougill, juniors Alec Brown (Winona, Minn.) and Kam Cerroni (Sussex, Wis.) and freshman Jordan Fouse (Racine, Wis.). Fouse (10) and Brown (7) did help Green Bay to a 45-31 edge on the glass. Cougill was the only other player in double figures while Cerroni made all six of his free throws en route to eight points.
Green Bay finished the game shooting 31.3 percent (15-48), including 1-for-17 from long range. The Phoenix held CSU to 36.5 percent from the floor (23-63) and forced 27 turnovers.
The team hits the road to play four games in five days this week. Green Bay plays Southern Utah, Nevada and Cal State Fullerton at the World Vision Classic in Reno, Nevada from Nov. 16-18 before playing at Idaho on Nov. 20.

In an earlier blog post, I wrote about material architecture and the technological capacity to design and manipulate the construction of materials themselves. Recently, a laboratory has demonstrated the potential to design diease-fighting DNA using special software that allows "drag-and-drop" functionality.
The Reston, Va.–based Parabon NanoLabs developed its unconventional approach while formulating a drug to fight gliobastoma multiforme, a deadly brain cancer. The lab researchers created what they call the Parabon Essemblix Drug Development Platform, which unites a molecular CAD application called inSçquio with nanoscale manufacturing (yes, it's an astonishingly similar process to architectural design and construction—just at the molecular scale).
"We can now 'print,' molecule by molecule, exactly the compound that we want," said principal investigator Steven Armentrout in a National Science Foundation press release. "What differentiates our nanotechnology from others is our ability to rapidly, and precisely, specify the placement of every atom in a compound that we design."
The approach allows scientists to engineer new genetic compounds much more quickly than traditional approaches—in weeks or even days—by harnessing a cloud-computing database that optimizes for biological functionality. "Currently, most drugs are developed using a screening technique where you try a lot of candidate compounds against targets to 'see what sticks'," Armentrout said. "Instead, we're designing very specific drugs based on their molecular structure, with target molecules that bind to receptors on specific types of cancer cells. In plug-and-play fashion, we can swap in or swap out any of the functional components, as needed, for a range of treatment approaches."
Based on the success of their research, the scientists are not only applying their new methodology to combat other diseases, but also to improve computing and sensor technologies at the nanoscale.

PL4Sport programme celebrates busy season
Premier League 4 Sport
During the final months of the season, Arsenal in the Community has engaged in a number of different activities across the Premier League 4 Sport initiative, bringing to an end a busy season with events across the six sports that currently make up Arsenal's involvement in the programme – table tennis, badminton, judo, volleyball, netball and hockey.
Involving more than 200 boys and girls and taking place at locations across the country, the events have showcased the breadth and diversity of the Club's involvement in the initiative, which aims to boost sports participation among young people in the build-up to the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
Table Tennis
Across the season, the new Arsenal Community Table Tennis Club has entered four teams into the National Junior League, run across London. After the success of last season's Arsenal Community teams, the squads were hoping for a similar showing this time around and did not disappoint, winning the Division 3 A-League after a series of excellent matches.
Steve Achille, Arsenal in the Community coach said: "I am really proud of the boys. They needed to win their final games and did so playing really well. They put some pressure on themselves and came through. They need to continue to work hard and train well in order to progress as they definitely have the talent."
Arsenal also performed admirably in defending their London PL4S Table Tennis Cup recently, finishing fourth overall with a squad for whom many were playing their first ever competitive table tennis matches – many against quality and more experienced opposition.
After the success of the boys in the PL4S National Badminton Competition in February, the West Midlands and South Badminton Championships took place at Aston Villa recently. Four teams from Camden School for Girls and St Aloysius College in Islington travelled to Birmingham City University for a friendly tournament with Aston Villa, Stoke City, West Brom, Spurs and Chelsea.
As with most competitions, Arsenal fielded new participants in their squads to allow everyone to experience the chance to play for their club. Despite losing to the eventual winners Aston Villa, the boys showed excellent fighting spirit and all of the teams commented on how yet again the Arsenal teams were always respectful and giving themselves and the Club a good reputation - definitely 'The Arsenal Way'.
After the tournament, all the players and supporters were able to watch the YONEX All England Badminton Championships at the NIA, seeing some of the best players from around the world in competitive action.
Twelve participants from the Arsenal Disability Programme's The Leighton Project and the Elfrieda Society recently enjoyed a PL4S taster session in judo. Held in the local Sobell Leisure Centre, the group learned the basics of judo as well as the importance of key factors such as balance, flexibility and self-control.
Dinesh Vijayan, Arsenal in the Community Disability Football Officer, said: "This was a fantastic opportunity for the young people of the Leighton Project to experience a different sport, other than the Football they play with Arsenal in the Community, with some fantastic and very experienced Judo Coaches. They enjoyed the day thoroughly and hopefully it is something that they will look to follow up in the future.
"One of the aims of our project is to increase the participation of disabled people in sports and to help them develop healthy lifestyles through sports as hobbies."
This is the first of a number of 'taster' sessions involving the Club's community groups and the PL4S sports.
The Club also recently held its second 'Kyu' grading at the Capital London Judo Club at Cardinal Pole School in Hackney, with 21 'judoka' successfully collecting their red and yellow belts after completing a range of judo techniques including throws, hold downs and escapes.
Gabor Szanyi-Nagy, CLJC Head Coach and examiner was very pleased with the effort and performance of all participants, "I thought all of the participants did excellently. In order to pass the grading, we ensure that the Judoka can expertly demonstrate the required skills without assistance, something they all managed which was great to see. They can now start working towards their next belt!"
London 2012 star and Arsenal fan Yassir Sliti recently visited young volleyball players on the PL4S programme, when he popped into Emirates Stadium for a tour and to talk to the young volleyballers about his career, aspirations and advice on what it takes to get to the top during a special Q&A session.
Yassir plays professional volleyball for Rottenburg in Germany, having previously played for Arsenal's community HUB club, the London Lynx. He was part of the GB squad that took part in the London Prepares Series at Earls Court last year and is hoping to be part of the Olympic squad for the 2012 Games.
During March, 40 of Islington and Camden's Young Leaders were also given the chance to take part in their Volleyball Young Officials course. The boys and girls gave up their own time in order to learn a number of crucial aspects to their sport, namely rules, health and safety, hand signals, small coaching points and scoring systems. The young officials will now umpire in a number of events from local schools competitions to borough wide volleyball matches and the London Youth Games.
As part of the newly-established PL4S Netball programme, netball is one of the four new sports added to the initiative thanks to an additional £2 million of funding through the Premier League Creating Chances programme. Arsenal in the Community recently organised a number of inter satellite club netball tournaments at Islington Netball Club.
To date, over 70 girls have taken part across five different clubs and seven schools. Recent trials have also taken place to determine a number of teams for the London Youth Games and also the PL4S Netball National Tournament in London on May 31 with Liverpool, West Brom, Fulham and Hull City joining the hosts, Arsenal.
Alan Sefton, Head of Arsenal in the Community, added: "It was great to see so many girls taking part in these recent tournaments. Netball, being one of the recent editions to the PL4S programme, has started really well. A big thank you must go to Alesia Carrington from Islington Netball Club and Elaine Smith from England Netball for all of their support in coaching and organising these events."

Information For...
GE. Use of College Food Service (BP)
It is the intent of the College not to compete with local food establishments by simply providing an additional retail food service to the community. However, the College feels that it does have an obligation to use and make its food service facilities available under certain conditions. These conditions provide for events by and for South Plains College and events that are of a nature that cannot be best handled by local food establishments.
The College's contracted food service is available to serve and cater meals as long as such catering operations do not interfere or detract from the regular food service to students, faculty and staff.
Students have first priority in the access and use of college food service facilities. All catering of food in college facilities will be done by the college food service per contractual agreement.

If she plans to purse carry, why get a little .380?
I don't have a 238 yet, but we've (wife and I) carried the original Colt Mustangs for years without a complaint. The only issue I'm going to see is that the gun should be carried with the hammer cocked and the safety on, this will leave a nice dust/lint nook so be sure to clean that space between the slide and the hammer daily.
I plan on picking up two Sig 238s to replace my Mustangs in carry rotation. The design has been slightly improved by adding real sights, a spring tensioner on the ejector preventing a particular issue, and a removable mainspring housing to allow for easier maintenance (speculation, the original is a pain to take apart from inside the mag well with the grips off)
Out of curiosity, what's wrong with the Bersa?

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Pull a plug and see what color it is, if it`s white it`s lean, less back pressure from a previous exhaust system can cause the mixture to be lean resulting in hotter temps. If the truck has a vacuum advance I`d check and make sure it`s working.
|A more restricted exhaust system will cause a motor to run hotter. Maybe the exhaust manifolds restrict the flow more than the old ones.
No Cats here...
A side benefit of the 8600 GVW rating is that it was exempt from catalitic converters.
|67 Deuce 4 Me
|Its probably just a coincidence that its getting hotter. I would bet you have a thermostat sticking a little or a radiator that is getting clogged. Also may be low on water. Ive never seen a vehicle heat up because of exhaust work. I have seen clogged cats cause power problems, Im assuming the cats are long gone or new.
New Exhaust and now the engine runs hotter...
Here is a strange one for you. I recently put a new exhaust on my tow truck and now it runs hotter. The truck is an 85 Chevy K20, the truck originally was a 350 with manual transmission, it has the higher Gross weight of 8600 lbs. It came with a full stainless exhaust from the factory. I was told by the exhaust guy that the truck was designed to run hotter with the heavy duty engine that it had. The mileage is about 180k, the current engine is a GM Crate 350, it was in the truck when I bought 20k miles and three years ago. The new exhaust is a dual exhaust, I also had the exhaust guy put on different exhaust manifolds. The new manifolds are from a late 70s chevy truck. They are cast iron manifolds, completely stock. The old ones were a stainless steel tube style manifold, again the stock options. The old ones had exhaust leaks where one of the previous owners had tried to remove the some kind of exhaust gas recirculation system. So the new system is a dual exhaust, with flowmaster series 50 for mufflers. It is nice and quite, but now the temp runs about 210 when tooling down the highway, where previously it was 180. If I let the engine idle, like at a stoplight, the temp drops about 10-15 degrees and then goes back up once under way. The only change has been the exhaust since this occured. I can't figure why the temp would go up with a new exhaust.
Any ideas? It doesn't seem like a big deal to me, just a puzzle. In the next couple of months a I am going to put a mild 383 in the truck, that is when I got the new exhaust.

Turkey has been confronted with evidence a group of influential members of the military, journalists, businessmen and others were engaged in a plot to overthrow the Turkish government which is led by the Muslim centered Justice and Development Party. Thousands of innocent students have somehow become embroiled in a political dispute because they received financial assistance from the Contemporary Living Association(CYDD). This organization provides scholarships to girls from poverty backgrounds and investigators have been attempting to form a linkage between CYDD and the Ergenekon plot.
These days is is virtually impossible for individuals to become subject to investigation because they donated money to X charity or their name got on an organization's mailing list — not difficult to occur in the modern age. But, to conduct an investigation of 15,000 scholarship girls borders on madness. The girls were happy to receive financial aid and not one in a thousand had any idea what some members of CYDD were or were not planning. This is McCarthyism at its worst and young women are the object.

When Shayna came to RWU, she knew it was the place for her. "I chose Roger Williams because it was close to home, but not so close that family would pop in everyday," she says with a laugh. Shayna also loved the size of RWU, which she said is small enough to be intimate, but not too small. "Of course, the Chinese and Architecture programs were a huge draw, and the amazing view didn't hurt."
As a freshman, Shayna was considering majoring in Architecture, but knew it was a tough program. "I came in and took my core classes and took a few architecture classes before declaring my major just to test it out. I was able to get in all of my requirements while taking time to test the waters and experience RWU life."
Shayna also experienced RWU life through her involvement as a member of the Multicultural Student Union, the Chinese Club and the RWU chapter of AIAS–the American Institute of Architecture Students.
She also took advantage of studying abroad…in a real way. In 2008, Shayna traveled to China—all by herself. "We didn't have a Chinese study abroad program at the time, but the study abroad office worked with me and with other programs that already existed in China to find one that would work for me. That's one of the great things about RWU—when students express their desires, RWU takes them into consideration."


text: Of all tyrannies, C. S. Lewis wrote mordantly in God in the Dock, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. New Yorkers might nod appreciatively at this sentiment, for in his political maturity this is the sort of tyrant that outgoing mayor Michael Bloomberg fitfully became. Bored and superfluous in a mistaken third term, Bloomberg took to focusing on the picayune and the frivolous, in a style that was unlikely to win him many friends. It is, after all, one thing to tell people in detail how they must live, and quite another to imply that their opposition is a sign of unseriousness. And the latter conviction is one that Bloomberg is not afraid to share with his critics.

College Football Conference Championship Games PreviewConference championship weekend is upon us, here's how to watch each champion be crowned.
College Football Spotlight: Conference And Division Championship Races Come Down Final StretchCollege football's regular season is coming down the final stretch, which means it is crunch time in the conference and division championship races. Not every team is playing for a spot in the College Football Playoff, but everybody seems to have some impact on the new postseason format.
Rising Star: SMU Guard Nic MooreMoore, a 5'9" point guard from Winona Lake, Ind., is playing as well as anyone in the American Athletic Conference right now. He leads his team with 14.1 points and 4.7 assists per game.
Old Big East To Become 'American Athletic Conference'The conference announced the decision Wednesday after university presidents approved the new moniker earlier in the day.

'"Chris Butler probably surprised all of us with his play," coach Lindy Ruff said. "He put together basically a solid half-season for us. That is a bright spot."'
Archives for April 2009
Sabres' Butler played like a veteran
Without playoffs, Sabres take a hit
'DiPofi said the Sabres have started their season-ticket renewal program for next year and, with little marketing so far, the team already has surpassed the 80 percent renewal rate. He said he expects a renewal rate well into the 90-percent range. "All signs are that we will hit the 14,800 mark again," he said.'
Friday's Portland Coverage
Pirates' defense becomes strength (Portland Press Herald)
Generating more chances will be P-Bruins' goal in Game Two (Providence Journal)
Absence of repeated success is Ruff's downfall
'The core of the Sabres formed the best minor league team in 2004-05. They led the American Hockey League with 51 victories, setting the Rochester franchise record. But in the past two seasons, they've faltered in the NHL. Their play hasn't ascended the way it was predicted. Either the students don't have the capacity to learn, or the teacher isn't finding a way to get the lessons through.'
Should Ruff stay or should he go?
'In the years they missed, the Sabres were either in financial trouble or trying to overcome unconscionable managerial mistakes. Too many times over the years, Ruff has been given the tools to build a garage and been asked to construct an oceanfront estate.'
In The End, Melancholy & Sadness
'Marty Biron? Starting in net for the playoff bound Philadelphia Flyers. Mike Grier? His San Jose Sharks are demolishing the West. Boy, did he have this team pegged when he departed. J.P. Dumont? Scored 65 points this season and the Preds are back in the playoffs. Brian Campbell? The Blackhawks are back in the playoffs for first time in who knows how long. Jay McKee? Don't look now but the St. Louis Blues are also in the playoffs, and McKee has been healthy all season. Daniel Briere and Chris Drury? Let's not even go there, except to say you can watch those guys on TV these next few weeks.'
Thursday's Portland Coverage
Pirates strike quickly (Portland Press Herald)
Pirates beat P-Bruins, 3-0, in Game One (Providence Journal)
Pirates take early lead in semifinal series (Maine Hockey Journal)
Pirates Blank Bruins in Game One (PortlandPirates.com)
P-Bruins fall to Pirates 3-0 (ProvidenceBruins.com)
Numminen weighing options
'"I don't intend anything," Numminen said. "I just intend to take a little vacation and go home, see the kids. Seriously, just take a couple weeks off… hopefully get to Cleveland, see the doctors… see how my condition is… and start from there. That is the first step."'
Pominville, Sabres know there's room for improvement
'"I feel defensively I did my part," he said. "Obviously, the first stat you'll look at is the plus-minus. But you've got to look at the side where you're not scoring. Most nights you're playing against the other teams' top lines. They're scoring against you and you're not scoring. So you're going to get in the minuses."'
Sabres' Miller laments playoff-less spring
'"We had injuries, but we had them the first time we went deep into the playoffs," said Miller, citing the 2005-06 team that lost in the Eastern Conference Finals in seven games to the Carolina Hurricanes. "(Danny) Briere had a sports hernia, (J.P.) Dumont too. The bottom line is you have to find a way to compete."'
Wednesday's Portland Coverage
Pirates' defense receives a boost (Portland Press Herald)
P-Bruins, Pirates to renew AHL playoff rivalry (Providence Journal)
Pirates more than ready for the challenge (Maine Hockey Journal)
Sobotka assigned to P-Bruins (ProvidenceBruins.com)
Plenty of questions for Sabres
'"We had some ups and downs and we couldn't find that consistency," Sabres center Derek Roy said. "I think it's we're a young team and we keep saying that every year. So at some point in time we have to mature as individuals. I think going forward toward next year we got to bring it every game; bring that fire, bring that level of compete out every game."'
Sabres record against also-rans tells tale
'Against Ottawa, Atlanta, Tampa Bay and the New York Islanders, the total was a hideous 5-8-5. That's just 15 of a possible 36 points and that's your season. Going 1-4-1 against Ottawa and 0-0-4 against Atlanta will resonate all summer.'
Where do Sabres go from here?
'Regier should be fired. For all the criticism I've directed at him over the years, I always liked and respected the guy. Our job descriptions were bound to collide. It's nothing personal. It's simply time for a change after they missed the playoffs five times in seven years.'
Roy to see another side of Ruff at worlds
'"To see a lighter side of Lindy will be great," Roy said. "It's definitely a different style of game. I'm sure he'll talk to some past coaches. It's more laid back and the players are all great."'
