|Offensive Coordinator / Quarterbacks
|Alma Mater:
|Florida, 1998
Jedd Fisch is in his third season as Miami's Offensive Coordinator/Quarterbacks Coach after engineering a Hurricane offense that quickly established itself as one of the most efficient units in the nation. Under Fisch's guidance in 2012, quarterback Stephen Morris threw for a career-high 3,345 passing yards and set a single-season total offense record with 3,415 yards.
In Fisch's first season in 2011, quarterback Jacory Harris flourished, setting career bests and solidifying himself as one of the best signal callers in Miami and ACC history. The 37-year-old Fisch tutored Harris to a single-season program record for passing efficiency with a 65-percent success rate (195-for-300), while throwing for 20 touchdowns and only nine interceptions. Harris finished the season with 2,484 passing yards and a quarterback efficiency rating of 150.6--a career best.
In addition to quarterback play, Fisch's offense ranked best in the nation in efficiency by footballoutsiders.com for the majority of the season and finished ranked as the third-most efficient offense in the country behind only Baylor and Wisconsin. In Fisch's offense, a pro-style set, Miami scored 318 points, averaging 26.5 per contest and amassed 4,533 yards of total offense. Tommy Streeter, in a breakout season, was the favorite target of Harris with 46 receptions and 811 yards on the season. On the ground, Lamar Miller was the go-to guy, recording the third-best single-season rushing total in program history with 1,272 yards and nine touchdowns.
The Livingston, N.J., native arrived to the University of Miami with a combined nine years of NFL coaching experience, most recently having led the Seattle Seahawks to a 2010 NFC West Divisional Championship as the team's quarterbacks coach. Fisch studied under two-time college football national champion Pete Carroll, two-time Super Bowl Champion and Washington Redskins head coach Mike Shanahan as well as Super Bowl champion and former Baltimore Ravens head coach Brian Billick. He has also worked with three-time Pro Bowler Matt Hasselbeck and began his coaching career as a graduate assistant to current South Carolina head coach and former Florida Gator Steve Spurrier.
Fisch joined the Seahawks staff on February 4, 2010, after spending one season as the University of Minnesota's offensive coordinator/quarterbacks coach. Prior to his stay in Minnesota, he coached in the NFL for eight seasons. In his only season in Denver in 2008 as wide receivers coach, he coached two-time Pro Bowler Brandon Marshall to a career-high 104 catches with 1,265 yards and six touchdowns. He also tutored rookie Eddie Royal to one of the most productive rookie seasons in NFL history with 91 catches for 980 yards and five touchdowns. Denver finished the season with the second-ranked offense in the NFL.
Prior to the Broncos, he spent four seasons in Baltimore, including the 2006 campaign when the Ravens posted a 13-3 record and won the AFC North. Steve McNair received Pro Bowl honors during his first season in Baltimore after setting a franchise record for completion percentage (63.0%). Additionally, he helped wide receivers Derrick Mason (68) and Mark Clayton (67) form one of four wideout tandems in the AFC that featured two players with at least 65 catches. Fisch also contributed to a Ravens' offense in 2006 that ranked first in the NFL in time of possession (32:49), second in sacks allowed (17) and ninth in pass completions (328).
He was Baltimore's assistant quarterbacks coach in 2007 after serving as its assistant quarterbacks/wide receivers coach from 2005-06 and offensive assistant in 2004.
He began his NFL coaching career on the defensive side of the ball with the Houston Texans for three seasons (2001-03). Houston head coach Dom Capers made him the Texans' third hire in 2001. He worked on both sides of the ball that year, handling administrative duties to help the Texans prepare for their inaugural season.
A 1998 graduate of the University of Florida with a bachelor's degree in criminology, Fisch worked with his alma mater's football program for two seasons as a graduate assistant from 1999-2000 while obtaining a master's degree in sports management. He assisted then-Florida head coach Steve Spurrier and the rest of the Gators' coaching staff during those two seasons, helping the team advance to the Citrus (1999) and Sugar Bowls (2000) in addition to winning the SEC championship in 2000.
Fisch is married to Amber, and the couple has two daughters, Zaylee and Ashlee.

The rabies began eating me after the pirate orgy, which was the best viral infection I synthesised, whilst my Asian stepfather touched his black son's stolen micro-film. Afterwards the bike lock suddenly magically transformed the wheels into apple trees. As Cena grabbed furiously onto Vince's stick, the aroma overpoweringly made Triple HHH become increasingly horny. Twenty of the jobbers poured hot diarrhoea all over themselves repeatedly until one of them felt like they wanted novocaine up their, already gaping, assholes. My dream of LSD Ponies ejaculating rainbows onto babies came flooding back into my minds eye
Exiting the locker-room, Lesnar wiped the sweat off my face and asked me for advice about our tag match. I told him to just keep his game because when facing Slater and his strongest stablemate, THE SHOCKMASTER, we must be wary of their manager, BIG POPPA PUMP. He will cry about the fact that your tan-lines humorously resemble Triple H's nose.
Our music started playing. My mind still elsewhere, I headed for the ring. The match was going to determine the next GMs of Raw and SmackDown. I decided not to think about the hallucination provided by Lesnar's huge zebra-pattern underwear. Nervously, I licked my ice cream cone. "CM Punk" was written on a replica nexus pencil AND on the ice cream. I realised my full potential when my nexus ice cream spoke, saying "I did it for The Rock".
Lesnar had Slater in a pickle. He had him under his massive forearms, in a new submission move 'the Big Lebowski". The Opponent was in a bad way even before Lesnar thrust his copy cat partner (me) back into the ropes causing an EARTHQUAKE which changed the course of the Youknowyouguyscanwritemorethanonewordnowright Project. Then a dog, doing it bunny style, jumped the commentary table north of Lesnar's balls and raped Lawler. Lawler enjoyed it though, because it was a hallucination, the match itself ended quickly because Slater soon tapped out to 'The Big Lebowski', Lesnar and I celebrated by the beach, or maybe that was just the hallucinagenic drugs again. The Straight Edge CM Punk, also with us, was disgusted by our drugs, so he put both me and Lesnar in a double Crippler Crossface until we all urinated, deficated and ejaculated all at the same time. Since this goes against the 'PG Era', the match was declared 'No Contest'. On the way to the locker room we practised our pole dancing, but Brock slipped in a pool of pudding made for the divas match coming up next, Brock fell hard on his backside "Brock's Bottom, Brock's Bottom" screamed JR, clearly emotional, the crowd reacted by singing a remix of "We No Speak Americano" in unison.
Waking up first, Rey's buddy Sin Cara switched off the episode of RAW he'd been watching, disgusted by the appalling booking in the Brock/Slater Tag match. 'I should have been licking Dixie Carters ballsack instead, but Brodus Clay's will have to do' he said, tucking in to that sweaty purse of skin.
Meanwhile back at the arena Swagger had started huffing paint to get the hallucinations started again. The rape dog had returned, looks like the paint worked.
Meanwhile at the Hall Of Justice RVD came over with marijuana and shared it among Sonic the Hedgehog and Aquaman. He had also brought bacon sandwiches. Out of nowhere a giant ball of string started rolling down the hall towards where they were starting to eat they're bacon sandwiches. RVD shouted: "Rolling thunder" and tried to jump onto, and propel, the large ball upwards so nobody would get hurt in it's path. Of course, Rob being Rob, he failed miserably. Eve: Pro wrestling broadcasted this live on CraigsList Streams, main event being Brock Lesnar and Slater vs Scott Steiner and Shockmaster in a "New Gimmick Match Idea on a Pole" match. Obviously Russo was the booker. The ending had already been given away though, by Bateman when he brought the rape dog back, and it won by rollup. However, it turned out that Jim Ross was working with Steiner and The Shockmaster and this was all part of his plan to introduce WWE's newest star: SpongeBob Spare-rants, who came down to the ring and proceeded to rant about stuff.
But it looks like someone on creative has been looking up their IWA MS because Vader and Kharma jump into the ring and proceed to have mind blowing fat sex. The pyro is set off on the stage, in the ring and on the announce table, unfortunately having no effect than to set fire to a sleeping, raped Lawler. The Atheletic state comission demanded an explanation and what was given is the Wrestlingforum Hardcore title from one year ago has been reinstated. Current champ being whoever survied the pyro in the ring. Look! Who should emerge from the smoke with the belt is likely Kelly Kelly...
NO! It was a man, disguised as Kelly all along! Lawler, finally stirred by the fire, waddled down to the ring and whipped off the imposter's wig to reveal Hornswoggle! Lawler was instantly knocked out by a hail of bottles from disgusted fans as Hornswoggle put his wig back on and headed to the local red-light district. Val Venis, The Godfather, Sexual Chocolate, and Visera all try to recuit him but the WWE instantly vaporised all of them as they "should not have existed". A promo for Linda's campaign followed. The next Thursday, Impact Wrestling gained record ratings, which Vince blames on the lack of Funkasaurus. The entire SmackDown the next day was changed to a Brodus Clay concert. The show gained -200,000 viewers. The Terminator comes out of nowhere with intenet on saving the future by Vinces past erasing, inadvertently bringing Chr*s Ben**t back to life. The fans flee to their forums demanding the same thing happen to other past wrestlers, while Chr*s himself diving headbutted any who dared to remain. The next week, John Cena signed for TNA, deciding this was one hate he simply could not rise above, or even embrace. Unexpectedly, a red mist fueled Brock Lesnar comes out of nowhere and starts killing everyone with SSP's, including the audience, or at least the remainder that were conscious.
Flash forward to Thursday's episode of TNA: Impact Wrestling. TNA's newest signing, John Cena, entered to the sound of Mark Henry's theme song covered by John Cena and Li'l Wayne, passing wind and Undertakers orgasm, nothing more...
Wait! Some fan in audiance got a hold of a live mic, but before he could say anything he was tackled by Vince McMahon wearing a shirt saying WWE Superstars For Strippers Program, who was being pursued by Hulk Hogan in a huge robotic exoskeleton.
Hogan announces that he will battle Vince McMahon and John Cena right now in a Falls Count Anywhere Match to see who will represent this thread in the upcoming SimpleOneWordStoryGame vs WWEStorylineCreator 1 match ppv: BOUND FOR NOTHING! Cena, naturally, cause he's John fucking Cena, won. However, there is confusion amidst the writers since all kinds of crazy shit is going on in the WWEStorylineCreator, so they postpone and forget about the whole event that very same night. Wrestling is shitake mushroom paste covered fillet with dipping sauce aka like an enjoyable something or rather, is what one thinks when they see whats gonna happen next after the break.
Nothing, as it turns out.
The next day, at Smackdown, another match to determine the One Word Story representative at Bound For Nothing was being held. It was a triple threat, this time between Storyline Creator representitive Garret Bischoff!!!
sonjay dutt and great khali, with Garett winning in less than 20 seconds
"Soooooooo... Garrett will face himself at the ppv then..." thought Smackdown's new GM,

One girl is popular and comes from an affluent family. One girl is reserved and comes from a middle class family.
Both give no indications that anything's wrong, even though they are both harboring heinous secrets.
Both are victims of teen dating violence.
School district youth/peer counselors Deborah Boulware and Sarah Woodring know this tale all too well after hearing it time and time again.
David Kellin, a Kershaw transplant originally from Crandon Wis., is probably best known for his private practice at Kershaw Counseling as a 22-year trauma-focused counselor for sexually-abused youth.
Others might recognize his name as the professional photographer at Sara's Dad's Photography or a freelance photographer whose works appear in several publications.
Even still, his personal fan club of barbecue aficionados know him for "DK's worst BBQ in South Carolina," he chuckled and said.
Do you remember the saying, "An apple a day keeps the doctors away?"
Well, studies in science laboratories across the world have proven this very well-known slogan could very well be true.
One apple contains a very large number of phytochemicals known to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease, cancer and asthma.
Also, adding an apple into your diet could also help lower your risk for diabetes.

The reports coming in from the sites who participated in the Ag+ArtTour of Lancaster County show the event was a great success both for the participants and for visitors, many whom toured the sites for the first time.
SALUDA, N.C. – Since the 1940s, Boy Scouts from Chester, Lancaster, York, Union, Cherokee and Spartanburg counties have been going to Saluda, N.C., for summer camp.
Originally known as Camp Palmetto, the camp expanded in the early 1980s and was renamed Camp Bob Hardin in 1985, in honor of Hardin, a Lancaster native, who was active in the Boy Scouts.
Hundreds of boys and leaders from the three counties have made the trek up to Saluda during 2013. This year has been the biggest, best year ever for Camp Bob Hardin with a variety of new additions.
Springdell Baptist Church organist Bettie Robertson got an unexpected surprise on Sunday when she was honored for 40 years of service to the church.
In my mind, I could already hear the waves and feel the breeze.
Despite gasoline rationing, no new tires in sight, and a shortage of hot dogs and hamburgers on Meatless Tuesday, we still traveled down to Myrtle Beach.
I was excited on the ride down and Mama was tryin' her best to temper my mood.
"Son, things are going to be different down there this time," she said. "With the war, there will be beach patrols watching for Nazi submarines instead of swimmers who go out too far."
from Springs Memorial Hospital
A hospital is more than a place where people go to heal; it is a part of the community that fosters health and represents hope.
From providing treatment and comfort to the sick, to welcoming new life into the world, hospitals are central to a healthy and optimistic community.
That's the message Springs Memorial Hospital hopes to convey through its celebration of National Hospital Week 2013.
Mother's Day is today, May 12, a holiday recognized nationally, thanks to a joint resolution signed by President Woodrow Wilson on May 8, 1914. That resolution designated the second Sunday in May as a day to celebrate mothers and their tireless dedication to their children and families. For one Lancaster mom, this Mother's Day will probably have much more meaning than it used to.

GREAT FALLS – Two years ago, a piece of history was uncovered in Great Falls.
"Stoney Lonesome," the old town jail, was unearthed. But now the brick building sits abandoned with weeds and bushes growing up around it.
Great Falls Mayor Don Camp says he has not abandoned the historical project. He said the weather has prevented plans to spruce up the area and make the piece of history a place people would want to visit.

I wanted to do something special for my sons birthday, so I was thinking he already has some guns but what about a .22lr 3/4 scale ar15 (sp01). Then after shooting a friends 17HMR I was hooked. So here is the upper receiver almost finished (17hmr) and the .22 lr lower. I will cut a new lower and send it out for engraving. Here it is with its big cousin, an ar10 I milled
Of course there is still a lot of work to do on the upper (thread for barrel nut, final contour, ejection door and smoothing the contour of the rear(will be done after lower is cut)

ARSC T3E Users' Newsletter 158, December 18, 1998
ARSC Upgrades to VAMPIR 2.0 and Revamps Tutorial
VAMPIR is a graphical tool for analyzing the performance and message passing characteristics of parallel programs that use the MPI communication library. There are three steps to using VAMPIR: 1) compile your T3E MPI code for tracing, 2) run the executable, 3) analyze the resulting .bpv file on an SGI workstation.
VAMPIRtrace has been upgraded to version 1.5.1 on yukon and VAMPIR has been upgraded to version 2.0 on the ARSC SGIs. VAMPIR 2.0 offers several new features and a significantly improved user interface.
The location of the libraries and license files has been changed to conform with ARSC's standard method of installing third-party packages.
We have extracted the 2-part tutorial given in issues #146, #147, brought it up-to-date for the new version of VAMPIR, and put it on-line at:
This tutorial tells everything you need to know in order to use this powerful tool. Alternatively, ARSC users can read "news VAMPIR" for the nitty-gritty. Enjoy!
MPICH-T3E Installed on Yukon
The MPICH-T3E implementation of MPI is now available on yukon in the directory:
MPICH-T3E is the port of MPICH-1.1.0 to the Cray T3E supercomputer. This port was developed by the High Performance Computing Lab at Mississippi State University. For more information, visit:
To access MPICH-T3E:
Add to your include path when you compile: -I /usr/local/pkg/mpich/current/include And add to your library path: -L usr/local/pkg/mpich/current/lib/cray_t3e/t3e/ And specify the mpi libraries: Fortran: -lfmpi -lmpi C: -lmpi For instance: cc prog.c -I /usr/local/pkg/mpich/current/include \ -L /usr/local/pkg/mpich/current/lib/cray_t3e/t3e/ -lmpi f90 prog.f -I /usr/local/pkg/mpich/current/include \ -L /usr/local/pkg/mpich/current/lib/cray_t3e/t3e/ -lmpi -lfmpi
Below are times from the "ring" program given first in newsletter #66 . This program was modified to include larger buffers and to use MPI_REAL instead of MPI_REAL4 buffers.
The program times a buffer as it is passed around a ring of PEs using MPI_Send and MPI_Recv.
The table below reports transfer times in microseconds per MPI_REAL buffer. It shows runs compiled with both the MPICH-T3E 1.1.0 and MPT 184.108.40.206 version of MPI. This was run on a T3E-900. Your mileage may vary, but if your program passes a lot of messages, you might try MPICH. Be sure to do some validations runs, and let us know what you find.
buffer mpich mpt size (usec) (usec) 1 9.85 17.35 2 10.45 17.5 3 10.5 17.6 4 10.65 21.6 7 11.15 22.65 8 10.7 23.05 15 12.85 22.45 16 12.15 22.05 31 14.7 24.4 32 13.7 24.45 63 15.35 27.9 64 15.1 27.3 127 16.75 35.45 128 16.6 34.6 255 20.15 49.35 256 20.2 47.9 511 28.6 69.8 512 27.8 67.3 1023 42.3 109.45 1024 40.9 95.2 2047 66.7 145.15 2048 67.35 144.55 4095 118.5 247.75 4096 120.8 247.4
Another Example of Post-Processing: Co-array Fortran
A strength of Co-array Fortran (CAF) is that it's such a simple extension to a well-known language. We thought we might learn something by using CAF to rewrite the post-processing program given in the last issue ( /arsc/support/news/t3enews/t3enews157/index.xml ).
As a reminder, the problem is data reduction of data stored across many files. We read the files on all PEs, extract particular fields from them, combine the data to a "master" PE, sum it, and store these results.
Here's the code that combines and sums:
MPI version:
! global averages call MPI_REDUCE(aglb,apglb,ndata,MPI_REAL,MPI_SUM,mroot, & MPI_COMM_WORLD,ierr)
CAF version #1:
apglb = aglb call sync_images () if ( myimg .eq. master ) then ! Sum arrays from all images on master do imgn = 2, nimgs apglb(:) = apglb(:) + apglb(:)[imgn] enddo endif
The CAF version was easy to write, the logic is transparent, and, given a little background, would make sense to most Fortran programmers. On the other hand, someone who knows MPI could write the MPI version easily and the MPI_REDUCE call conveys a lot of meaning by encapsulating several actions. Also, the MPI version is faster.
Addressing the performance issue, in the CAF version, only the master PE does work. It gets data from the other PEs, one at a time, while they sit idle. We can distribute this work better, using a tree to gather data to the master:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 / / / / / 1 3 5 7 9 11 / / / / / / 1 5 9 / / 1 9 / / / 1
This reduces the number of passes through the above loop from nimgs-1 to ceiling(log2 (nimgs)).
CAF version 2:
! Sum arrays from all images on master apglb = aglb ! Tree algorithm for combining results. In the first stage, every odd ! numbered image gets data from image to its right. In the second stage, ! images 1,5,9, etc... get data from images 3,7,11, etc... ! Total number of stages, or levels, in binary tree is ! the ceiling of log base-2 of the number of images. nstages = ceiling (alog (real (nimgs)) / alog (2.0)) do istage = 1, nstages call sync_images () if ( mod (myimg - 1, 2**istage) .eq. 0) then mypartner = myimg + 2**(istage - 1) if (mypartner .le. nimgs) then apglb(:) = apglb(:) + apglb(:)[mypartner] endif endif enddo
CAF version #2 is almost as fast as the MPI version. It's certainly not as easy to write or read as CAF version #1.
The graphs in figure 1 give timing comparisons between the two CAF versions and the MPI version. The execute times include the time to read the files, combine the results, and reduce the data.
Figure 1
The first graph considers a problem size that scales as we add PEs. This is a common scenario--people want to solve bigger problems, not just the same problems faster. The inefficiency of the CAF #1 implementation is apparent in this graph as the number of PEs increase.
The second graph considers a fixed problem size. We see the same problem with CAF #1. It's also apparent that the overall rate of disk I/O stops improving once 8 or more PEs are reading at the same time. (This was the conclusion of the article in the previous issue.)
It's interesting that the three traces converge at 8-PES. Given the file I/O constraint, 8-PEs seems appropriate, regardless of algorithm. Thus, in this situation, the simple CAF program is perfectly serviceable, and (depending on your MPI experience) might be easier to write.

Quick-Tip Q & A
A: {{ Fortran again. ALOG10 is an intrinsic CF90 function. The man page even says so: DESCRIPTION LOG10 is the generic function name. ALOG10 and DLOG10 are intrinsic for the CF90 compiler. But this program won't compile: !---------------------------------------- program test write (6,*) "alog10 (1000) :", alog10 (1000) end !---------------------------------------- Here's the error message: yukon% f90 test.f write (6,*) "alog10 (1000) :", alog10 (1000) ^ cf90-700 f90: ERROR TEST, File = junk.f, Line = 3, Column = 35 No specific intrinsic exists for the intrinsic call "ALOG10". What's wrong? }} Thanks to two readers: ###################### Here is my two-minute fix; insert a decimal point into 1000 to make it a floating point number, which is the argument that the intrinsic function alog10 expects. ### I think there are two problems here, i) an imprecise error message and ii) ugly Fortran programming. The compiler tries to tell it has no integer intrinsic for the log10. If you replace alog10(1000) with log10(1000) you get the same error message. There is no ilog10, as documented in the man page. The second problem is peoples bad habits of using specific intrinsics rather than generic. I think generic intrinsics are one of the nice things with Fortran. The compiler looks at the data type of the argument and chooses by itself, making code cleaner. If you need or want to direct it towards a specific intrinsic this is done by type casting the argument. In this case you could for example type write (6,*) "alog10 (1000) :", log10 (real(1000)) and everything will work as expected. Q: (Finally, one for the C programmers!) Will C correctly cast a pointer reference value? For instance, given this declaration: unsigned temp = *uint; will "temp" be set as expected even if "uint" is an int pointer?

This field study of a strategy consulting firm explores how men and women cope with organizational pressures to construct a professional identity that involves full devotion to work. Reid finds that while some people easily embrace this imposed identity, most experience a conflict between it and the less-devoted professional identities that they desire to construct. She traces how men and women navigate this conflict by aiming to stay true to their desired selves while either (1) passing as adherents to, or (2) overtly revealing their deviance from, the imposed identity. Unpacking the different ways in which people manipulate features of their work, we construct and manage these deviant professional selves. Drawing on performance and interview data, she demonstrates how both those who embrace the imposed identity and those pass as adherents to it are held in high esteem and rewarded by the firm, while those who reveal their deviance are recognized as such and penalized.

There are several different ways of looking at what to measure and how to measure benefit or value in social software systems.
First, who receives the benefit from the system, and how do you measure their benefit:
- the individual view - the question: "How do I as an individual benefit from the social systems and networks I am involved in?"
- the comparable individual view - If I can measure how each person benefits, can we compare that benefit between the persons? This isn't always so, because the value to an individual may be specific to themselves, and not quantifiable in a universal manner
- the organizational view - How does the organization benefit from social software (at different levels of social system, teams, departments, units, etc.)? Is this organizational view a composite of the comparable individual view or is it different?
- the comparable organizational view - Just like the individual view, there may be a comparable organizational view as well. These again rely on establishing a comparable basis of measurement of one organization versus another.
- the structural view - How do you measure value of the structure of contacts, parterships, collaborations, connections, networks, and other connectivity-based views of the social systems you are involved in?
- the content or knowledge view - How do you measure the value of knowledge or content from that network? Can they be packaged as assets specifically?
These are just my own ruminations. I believe that there are some ways to develop or gather metrics of some of these, but it may be a while before we can agree on how to measure all aspects of these. Before thinking about how to formalize this, you should take a look at these ideas of how to carefully define a measurement process by Peter Andrews, part of the Senior Consulting Faculty for the IBM Executive Business Institute. These are the brainiacs that think about the "thing behind the thing" (to paraphrase the classic statement from many a mobster movie): how to define or measure abstract concepts like innovation, strategy and more.

The sports performance programs at St. Jude Medical Center were developed on this philosophy and combine all the sports conditioning principles with specialized clinical insight and experience to take your game to the next level. For more information please call (800) 870-7537 or click here to sign up now. Functional Performance Training You work out because you want results, but sometimes it seems, no matter what you do you can't get to the next level. If you want to get more out of your training and physical conditioning program, you've got to start with the FMS. FMS, or Functional Movement Screen, is a powerful exercise philosophy based on a system of documented movement patterns that are essential to normal function and performance. FMS is a core component of Functional Performance Training. By screening for your normal movement patterns, the FMS can improve the effects of your training by identifying the things that hinder your improvement. The FMS uses a ranking and grading system that can only be administered and assessed by a Certified Functional Movement Screen Professional. Once completed, the screening generates an FMS Score that is used to develop the most beneficial corrective exercises for you and your ultimate performance. FMS can be applied to any fitness level to: Provide a baseline to measure progress and performance Identify limitations and dangerous movement patterns Provide individualized training and conditioning programs Reduce the potential for training and sports injuries Help set realistic and achievable goals Golf If you're constantly slicing or hooking your shots on the golf course, or just regularly being outplayed by your playing partners, it might not be that new titanium driver. It might be a function of your balance, flexibility and strength. Let the instructors at St. Jude evaluate your body weaknesses and swing faults with the same screening process used by PGA and LPGA touring professionals. Our instructors are certified by the Titleist Performance Institute, and they're specially trained to create individualized golf-specific fitness programs. These programs are designed to correct your specific imbalances or limitations to improve your endurance, club head speed and driving—all while helping you avoiding injury. Oh, and you might even win that next skins game. Kinesis While designed for all fitness levels, Kinesis™ is especially valuable in specialized training programs for advanced athletic performance; offering equipment and expertise not available at other fitness centers. St. Jude Medical Center is pleased to be one of the first facilities in the country to offer the world-renowned Kinesis™ training system; one of the most innovative and dynamic strength training systems available today. The unparalleled capabilities of Kinesis™ support activation of kinetic chains, not just individual muscles that simultaneously combine strength training, flexibility, balance, and conditioning. Even more, the incorporation of double weight stack means each cable controls a single, independent resistance level depending on the desire and capabilities of the individual creating greater freedom when defining movements. FullGravity™ patent-pending technology allows tri-dimensional movements with smooth, even resistance through virtually any possible movement pattern, as well as increasing resistance as the distance away from the station increases.

Dumpster Rentals Denville NJ
Renting a dumpster is not as easy as it sounds like. In order to succeed, there are basics that owners have to know by heart. Needless to say, house renovation, or any renovation for that matter, will not succeed without the aid of the best dumpster rentals Denville NJ. What should you remember in finding the right company for your project?
Tips in Renting A Dumpster Denville NJ
- Know how long the rental is needed.
In pursuing dumpster rentals Denville nj, there is a period usually given to the renters. Most of the time, they provide a week, or even two as a maximum. If the renovation is only a small project, it would require one to two weeks. If it is a large one though, for example a building section, then the details have to be spent keen attention on. Visiting the website of the rental is ideal.
- Dumpster Rentals based on proximity.
As much as possible, it will be more convenient to rent from a local service. This is more affordable. The reason for this may be attributed to the fact that dumpster rental services are normally locally owned. Overhead expenses will also not be an issue with this. Saving money is feasible this way.
- Ask for the weekly cost.
The price normally depends on the county in New Jersey where one lives. This may change from one state to another. This may also be based on the size of the dumpster. Acquire a detailed understanding of this.
- Do comparison.
Comparison may mean quoting. This is going to work for the estimation purposes. It would not hurt to call at least two to three dumpster rental services in Denville NJ to succeed. Featured services may also be checked for convenience. The websites of these companies must have the price. Gather those. If not, call. They should be transparent so that it would be possible to weigh.
- Ask for featured services.
Features are not the same for all companies. For instance, there are those which have same day pick up, longer rental periods, discounts for cash, and a lot more. If any of the features address your needs, decide. For whatever it is worth, it has to be beneficial.
Hiring the best Dumpster Rental Denville NJ
Throughout the whole researching, your goal is to hire the best service provider. Management companies always devise services which are unique by nature. They do this to attract customers. Go beyond that. Do the researching yourself. This can be made possible by visiting their website, if ever there is any.
Management companies have their own payment plan. This should explain the cycle of the dumpster change. Asking the time duration of the company is the answer here. The details should always be explained. If there are gray areas, do not hesitate to ask.
Customized planning and pricing are common these days. These would inform customers when the pick-up schedule will be. This should be within 24 hours. Facility should be waiting at this point. Immediate management should be assured to make sure that the project is hassle-free with your dumpster rental Denville NJ.

Pontiac cam?
Which cam should I go with for my pontiac? Ok let me give a few details. It is a pontiac 400 and will be rebuilt, but I need to start figuring out which parts to buy. SO I was looking at a few pages and decided to pick a cam.
The motor will be mostly stock with some overbore as needed. Heads will not have much work, they are 62 heads which have 72-75 cc combustion chambers. With those small chambers I feel I need a cam on the smaller side for street use to keep the detonation away as much as is possible. Plus to be honest, I am not much of a racer, I just want a decent streetable cam. The car it is going into is a 71 cutlass. So it is not going into a lightweight vehicle.
Edelbrock has one that looks good(the basic performer cam), but I could not get onto the comp cams website to do some comparison shopping. Plus I am also looking at budget here. I don't want to cut corners, but if I can save a few bucks for a comparable product, then of course I would go that way. I know enough to know I don't want a used cam because I wouldn't know what to look for or how to tell it was good. And besides the cam is perhaps the most important part of your motor.
Good all around Pontiac cam that would fit your needs is one from Summit. I belive the part number is SUM-K2800. This part number includes lifters and is 86.95. The cam itself is SUM-2800 for 57.69. I don't work for Summit, but will vouch for their products!
racer who built my chevelle used nothin but summit cams. i havent tried one yet and dont know who makes them. but their catologe has tons of specs to compare w/different brand name mfgrs. a good pontiac engine builer is up in abbotsford canada and has a web site but.... i forgot what it is he goes by his name or initials. lotta help aint i
The Edelbrock Performer system is hard to beat and the Summit brand items are top notch. Either would be fine. Mail order either from Summit and shipping is free!
If you compare the specs of the summit cams to the edelbrock cams, you will find that summit makes cam shafts with the same specs as edelbrock, but for alot cheaper.
I'm not sure what you compression ratio is but, if it is high, then you want to go with a camshaft with a short Lobe Displacement Angle, this will keep the cylinder pressure down. also, you can clean up the combustion chambers so that there are no heat risers were detonation can propagate itself. Call comp cams help line and give them as much info as you can and they will hook you right up. I'm sure summit it good, but I have never used them, I've only used Comp Cams, or GM replacement cams, and have never had a problem.
Keep on roddin' <img src="graemlins/pimp.gif" border="0" alt="[pimp]" />
I believe the poncho guy in Canada goes by SD Dave or maybe Dan . I'm told he's a wizard.

Go to Performance Years
Wmarden - I hate to just send you to another board, but go to the tech forums (Street section) on www.performanceyears.com . You'll find 4 billion posts about cams for Pontiacs...and everything else Pontiac related for that matter. Oddly enought, the Summit grinds 2800, 2801, and 2802 are highly recommended for the average street car. I hate recommending the 2800 because it is SOOOO mild, so my recommendation would be the 2801 - what exactly is your compression ratio with those heads? Comp, Crane, and Crower all make great grinds for that motor. Somthing in the 214 intake duration range will probably work well for you.
if i were you id find a different set of heads and use those heads for another build.
those heads deserve to be in a pontiac!
i have used #16's on a 030 400 ci and finds that all you need is a really great ignition system. i ran a 308 dur cam with 515 lift and if i remember correctly 116 lope desperation. a MSD 6al with a 6k revv limiter performer rpm intake and a mighty demon 825. ran killer! i had it in a 68 tempest vert (which weighs the same as that cutlass) and doing 40mph, i could drop it into 2nd,sidestep the clutch and stay sideways for about 40 -50 yards.
until a rod bearing finally let go.
in short, if you want just a mild engine, use a set of 6x-4's a bit bigger combustion chamber and you can still put the 1.77 intake valve in.
then any cam you pick will not *PING*
You first stated that you wanted a mild cam to avoid detonation, but the opposite is true since the hotter cam bleeds off some of the initial compression since it keeps the valves open a little longer. A safe approach to compression is to have a total of 92cc's total combustion chamber and piston relief for regular gas. If you use one of the less expensive rebuild kits that have the cast pistons with the multi valve reliefs cast into them, the total "dish" of the piston will come out to about 12cc's. Take the 12 and add it to the 72 cc's that the 62 heads might be after a cleanup mill, and you have 84 cc's or about 9.2:1 compression. Premium fuel territory, but acceptable. The alternative would be to get a set of relatively inexpensive TRW forged pistons and have your machine shop cut a 20 cc dish into the top of the piston.
I just put together a 421 that was .060 over with a set of well worked 62 heads, and 26 cc dished pistons (bigger engine requires a little more dish). we installed the Summit cam and lifter kit and are really, really happy with it. the Summit cam visually looked better than several of the big name brands we have installed. This is in a HEAVY 1965 Pontiac 2+2 that weighed in at 4,418 pounds with driver at the drag strip scales. We run it on 87 Octane pump gas with no pinging. We participated in the High Performance Pontiac Magazine shoot-out on June 30th at the California Speedway POCI drags and the article should be coming out in a future issue.
Original topic is 3 1/2 years old
but we can still learn something.
the bigger cam bleeds off compression at idle or part throttle low rpm, but not at high rpm- those big cams "come in" above 3000 rpm, then the engine is detonating harder than ever, and actually doing some serious damage. That is not the solution, the solution is what you did, dish your pistons, which no doubt you gleaned from other posts elsewhere on the net, for a Pontiac. I run a 470 CID Pontiac with 80 CC heads, and dished the pistons 30 cc, they are TRW's flat tops- and I posted the results and pictures on the net of the parts. Back then everyone was pushing "quench" and 10:1 CR which will NOT WORK with today's gasoline and iron heads. I lowered the CR to 9:1 and the engine actually makes a lot more power, because now I can rev it and dial in 34 degrees total timing without ping.
the big cam fix doesn't work, it only kills the bottom end, and the engine will still ping above 3000 rpm
your 421 build sounds cool
This is an old thread, but he cam to use is a Comp 268 in a stock Pontiac like this, and is you get the pistons with 8 valve reliefs per piston, with the edge of the entire top of piston chamfered, that basically adds 16 cc's and lowers the CR a lot. Those pistons with a 400 .030" over will yield 9.6 CR which is a tad high. With 75 cc heads it may "just" make it. Or machine the piston a little to add 5 more CC then you're ok. I prefer to have 9.25 CR or lower with iron heads. After building many Pontiacs over 30 years time, they ping with any compression over 9.5 and iron heads, on pump gas.

'"I think you're going to see a totally different team this year," Ray said. "Obviously they are losing four or five guys to free agency. I think you'll see some type of trade in the next couple of weeks leading up to the draft. Then they'll go in there and fill in some of the holes through free agency. We know they are going to be a little more aggressive because they have a little more money to spend."'

The Register's iPhone app gets a makeover
Works better, too
Site news
Head over to the iTunes apps store for the latest iteration of The Register iPhone app.
Version 2.0.5 adds offline reading capabilities, full iPad support - and comments!
Props to the developer, Ocasta Studios, for making the app work and look so much better than our last effort.
Fingers crossed, the rating for our app should improve from a frankly pathetic two stars.
Android owners, we have not forgotten you. The Reg's Android App upgrade should go live in a couple of weeks, subject to tests.
And of course, you can always check out The Register's web version for mobiles at m.theregister.co.uk, or our Windows Phone app here ®

If you are like me and could use a better network manager, say goodbye to Gnome network manager and say HI! to Wicd.
WICD is an opensource network manager that will make your life easier and hopefully get rid of some of your networking frustrations.
For Ubuntu users (versions 9.04 and above), you can get it from the repositories. For previous versions of Ubuntu, check the Wicd DOWNLOAD PAGE.
You can install Wicd using the package manager of your choice, but if you want to install it from the command line, type the following:
sudo apt-get install wicd
Once you install it and set it up, it will look something like this:
Note that the installation will remove the Gnome network applet!!!
Once the installation finishes, you will need to get Wicd configured, which is done via a very simple and intuitive interface. Before you do that, though, you may need to reboot your machine to get Wicd to properly start up.
So there you go, hope you enjoy using Wicd.
EDIT (29/01/2010): If you use Wicd on a USB drive installation and you boot from it on different PCs, as I do, you will need to change the interfaces used by Wicd to connect each time you switch to a different machine.
In other words, when you install Wicd, it will pick up the ethernet and wireless interfaces on that particular machine (e.g. eth1 and wlan1), but if you then run it in a different machine, those interfaces will change. Therefore, in order for it to work on that other machine, you will need to find out what those interfaces are labeled as and adjust the corresponding settings under the "preferences" menu in Wicd.
In order to find out which interfaces you should adjust Wicd to use, open a terminal and run the following command:
ifconfig -a
That will list the current interfaces in your computer, even those which are in disabled status. That command returns quite some information, but we are only looking for the ethernet and wireless labels, which will look along these lines:
eth3 Link encap:Ethernet direcciónHW...
wlan3 Link encap:Ethernet direcciónHW...
Then you would open the Wicd preferences menu and update the interfaces being used by the application, in this case eth3 and wlan3.
I am trying to figure out a way to do this automatically on startup, but haven't found where Wicd stores that interface information yet... Any ideas welcome!

Natalie & Adam
January 18
Jersey City, New Jersey
Q & A with the Bride:
What was the one thing about your venue that made you know it was the one?
It was just special. We knew Liberty House was our place from just looking at the photos. The view of downtown Manhattan as a backdrop was stunning along with the high open beamed ceilings and surrounding candlelight made it so romantic and intimate.
Which three details from your wedding were your favorites?
- Table Numbers & Escort Cards. Our table numbers were handmade by my artistic dad. He burned all of the details by hand for every single table and handmade the escort cardholder which took weeks of hard work. All of this time and dedication in making these details perfect for us made these details even more special.
- Taxi Cab Limo. Our transportation for the wedding party was an old school taxi cab limo that spiced up your typical wedding transportation. It brought the city feel to life and gave such a fun, lighthearted feeling to the wedding party during our trips to the photos, ceremony and venue.
- The Music. Our band was amazing. My dad is a musician, so music was number was on his list. We had weekly calls with the band to make sure they knew our song list and style. There was not one person that didn't tell us how fantastic the music was at the reception. They made it a party to remember! We also had slipper socks (since it was winter, we didn't go with flip flops) for our guests to keep on dancing even when their feet were tired!
Give us the one moment in your wedding day you can't stop thinking about.
The moment we heard our wedding song – "Soul Sister" by Train. We picked the song so long ago because we loved the story it told. We had listened to it over and over again. When it finally came on at the wedding, it all became so real and our story came full circle. Also, while there was a room full of people staring at us, it felt like it was just the two of us in the room at the moment.

I have a 1976 dodge dart with a 318 that needs a rebuild I was looking around for a better motor with more hp potential for future builds. I've heard the 383 is a good motor and I found one on CL it's a 383 out if a 1968 charger. My question is will this engine fit into my 76 dart with out major modifications or is it not worth the head ache? Thank you planning on buying it this weekend if it will fit so any info will help thank you
yes.. you can put a 383 in the 76.. its not a LOT of work.. but the transmission, and torque converter are different.. as are all the accessory brackets.. belts. linkages..and the exhaust.. motor mounts for the conversion are available as far as i know from some suppliers.. you would actually be better off.. if you don't have deep pockets.. as 383s are a LOT of fun and have a lot of power.. in thinking about installing a 360 and the matching torque converter and harmonic damper. i am not trying to talk you out of it.. but its not a quick bolt in between those 2 years.. at least in my opinion..
Wayne is correct about going the 360 route. But with the 383, it's been done MANY times and a lot of information is available in the archives of these two sites. ForABodiesOnly.com and BigBlockDart.com
I have a 67 A-100 van with a 318. The oil filter housing is leaking and I can't find the gasket anywhere. It's the flat plate style housing with a single gasket. I was hoping to get a part number for the gasket or info on finding one. HELP!
On a 67 Dodge A-100 van does anyone have a part # for shocks? Are the front shocks the same as the rear? I have a Monroe #31131 for the front? Can't find anything for the rear. The shocks that came off are to rusty to read but look the same in front and rear. Need a little help here.

Labor pain on your mind? Understanding pain relief options can give you more control over the labor and delivery process.
Labor is a natural — although challenging — process. No two women have the same degree of labor pain, and no two labors are exactly alike. Ultimately, you need to choose the pain relief option that's right for you.
The best approach to labor pain relief depends on your preferences and on how your labor progresses. Sometimes, you won't know what kind of pain relief you want until you're in labor. Still, it's a good idea to think about your options for managing labor pain ahead of time. Find out what's available at your hospital or birthing center, and discuss your preferences with your health care provider.
There are many ways to ease and control labor pain. Relaxation exercises, breathing techniques and frequent changes of position often help — particularly in the early stages of labor. Your partner or labor coach can massage or firmly press on your lower back, or apply ice packs or heat to your lower back. Other options include playing music and taking a shower or bath.
As labor progresses — and contractions become stronger and more frequent — many women choose medication. Epidural and spinal blocks, for instance, temporarily block pain in the lower body. An epidural can be used continuously throughout labor, while a spinal block is typically used shortly before delivery. Alternatively, narcotics or other medications can be used to alter pain perception.
Nontraditional options for managing labor pain might include hypnosis, acupuncture, water immersion or reflexology. These techniques won't stop the pain of contractions, but they might help you feel more relaxed and better able to handle labor pain.
Each pain management option has pros and cons. Relaxation and breathing techniques can distract you and help you feel a better sense of control, but they might not dull the pain. Medication can make contractions less painful, but you might experience side effects — such as nausea or itchiness.
With some medications, you might be restricted to bed or to a specific position, and your bladder might need to be emptied by a catheter. Some medications can affect your baby, too. If you're given systemic analgesics shortly before delivery, for instance, your newborn could experience temporary breathing problems.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
It won't cure properly!!! I did the exact same thing. I was fixing a hole in my hand-me-down dinghy and mixed it wrong. That was a month ago. Its still gooey. In fact, it rained and the stuff ran down the side of the dinghy. Best to scrape it off and do it properly!
Sailing, Simplicity, and the Pursuit of Happiness
It didnt fall apart
For those that might still care...
a year on and its still holding together.
To be fair, its been wintering under a cover for a lot of that time, but ive had a few hard trips out.
This was always going to be a bit of a messy learning curve project. The boat was almost dead when i got her and i learned a lot about bot epoxy and polyester along the way.
I got away with it because the weak epoxy csm mix repair on the inside of the hull was not part of the structural strength of the boat. That was achieved using the correctly mixed matt and epoxy on the outside of the hull.
The helpful advice i have received warning me not to believe in the strength of my bodged inside repair is correct. How wise i sound now after the fact.
As a general point I believe anyone reading this post should and wondering what the hell were all talking about should not be deterred. There is no substitute for getting your hands dirty and having a go. Worst case scenario is the boat breaks under me and i have to swim to shore. Ill bet its not gonna happen and even if it did its a great story for sailnet (as long as im wearing a life jacket). Im safety conscious, but i also believe in getting on and learning! This balance is every individuals personal choice.
I was never argueing it was stronger.
I know i probably come across as someone who is just argueing until he gets the answer he wants,
but ive been see sawing back and forth on this one between posts.
The phrase "the fibers may shear their physical connection to the binding" is quite alarming.
But if you look at the pics you can see ive only done the inside of the hull so far. If that was it, i think you'd be right. It might be alright, but you dont want to worry about it dropping of a wave or bumping on a beach/trailor.
Im gonna wait for the approriate material arrives to do the outside.
I guess I just dont see the the csm epoxy coming apart, especially as the edges and the right angle to the bulkhead are taped with the correct material. And what damage might i do ripping it all out?
With Biaxial Tape 150 mm 430gsm on the outside of the hull it will be far stronger than the surounding wood.
Thanks for all the posts. Although im being stubborn and arguementative i do appreciate them.
|The epoxy isn't adhering to the bundles of fibers...it is adhering to the sizing that is holding the bundles of fibers together... big difference. It is basically a surface coating and the major difference is simple. In a true laminate, like using polyester resin and CSM—the fibers can no longer move relative to one another as they are encased and adhered to by the surrounding resin. In the case of using CSM and epoxy, the epoxy is adhering to the binder coating, but under high stress loading the fibers may shear their physical connection to the binding sizing, which isn't really all that strong as a material or as an adhesive, and the fibers will then be able to move relative to the material surrounding them. Which do you think is stronger???

I have zero credibility in this thread since I thought mat and epoxy was fine, but I think I understand what stu means. When I used them together, I did fill the void with something hard. I did get the mat wet with epoxy; there weren't bubbles or soft spots. But according to the info I read the other day, the mat was supposed to unbind and have the fibers mix so that they would bond like one unit and I guess that didn't happen.
But stu, think about this (and try it if you're really bored) - if you soak an old sock in thickened epoxy and let it dry I bet you can whack it pretty hard with that screwdriver and it will feel pretty solid. But even the crazy cheapskate doesn't build or repair boats with old socks...
|Epoxy CAN NOT structurally bond to mat, and that is the point, we been trying to make. All you have is a surface coating of epoxy over the mat.
Its not chemically bonded but it is structurally bonded.
All that hard epoxy permeating the matt and well keyed to the wood.
Ive ordered some Biaxial Tape 150 mm 450gsm tape to add another layer.
|Okay, so this explains why i had one hell of a time making CSM take the shape of the rail on my rowing dink. I did make it work, but it was tough. I covered that repair with fibreglass cloth and epoxy and it seems solid. I also did a repair on the bottom of the bow using a layer of CSM and cloth. Its also solid, i think.

Egyptian geese are in the family Anatidae. This family is distributed worldwide and includes 147 species in 41 genera. Egyptian geese live throughout much of Africa, mostly south of the Sahara and in the Nile Valley.
Egyptian geese prefer almost any wetlands in open areas. They do not inhabit densely wooded wetlands. In Ethiopia, they live in habitat as high as 13,200 feet (4,023 m).
In the wild, estimated to be 15 years. In zoos, they can live up to 35 years.
In the wild: unlike some species of waterfowl, they do not filter their food. Instead, they eat a variety of vegetation, such as the grasses, stems, seeds, berries and leaves of several different kinds of plants. They also occasionally eat insects and small animals.
At the zoo: waterfowl pellets, romaine lettuce and an occasional apple.
Egyptian geese remain in small flocks of family units through the majority of the year, and only pair up during the breeding season. They are mostly sedentary, but will move from their normal range to seek water during periods of drought.
Egyptian geese reach sexual maturity at 2 years of age. Males perform an elaborate and noisy courtship display to woo a prospective female. They usually breed in the spring or at the end of the dry season. Pairs nest alone in a variety of habitats, including dense vegetation on the ground, tree holes, or vacated nests previously used by other birds. Their nests are made out of a variety of plant matter that is softened by a lining of down feathers. The nest is usually located not far from water. The female incubates five to 12 yellowish-white eggs for approximately 28-30 days. Young have a duller appearance, and lack the distinctive brown eye and chest patch. Young fledge in about 70 days.
It is difficult to identify male and female Egyptian geese. Both sexes look alike, although females are often slightly smaller. So, researchers identify males or females by sound. Though Egyptian geese are not very vocal, during times of stress or aggressive behavior, it's easy to distinguish males and females by their sound. Only males emit a raspy hiss, while females produce a loud cackling sound like 'honk-haah-haah-haah.'
One of the best times to witness the respective sounds of Egyptian geese is during their times of nesting. A mated pair is very protective of their territory and nest. The pair aggressively vocally defends it against intruders, and if necessary, will attack.
Egyptian geese can be viewed at the hippopotamus area in the zoo's award-winning African Savanna. While visiting the African Savanna, keep a close watch for the Old World comb duck. Other savanna birds can be easily seen at the African Savanna aviary.
CEgyptian geese are not an endangered species, as they are the most widely distributed member of their family in Africa. During the 1900s, their numbers actually increased in South Africa. This was due to the increased availability of water via the building of dams and water irrigation projects. However, they are not immune to hunting, as farmers often consider them pests when large flocks gather to graze on young, sprouting plants. Unlike the widely distributed Egyptian goose, many species in the family Anatidae have not been so fortunate. As of 2004, there are at least 15 species listed as endangered, and 11 species listed as vulnerable. The primary reasons for the reduction of wild animal populations are human overpopulation and other activities that result in the destruction and fragmentation of habitat. Loggers remove vast forests for timber and other paper products, and industrial emissions pollute water and air resources. Expanding human communities and their agricultural needs are rapidly converting critical shoreline and riparian zone habitats. Humans also kill animals for their body parts to use in traditional medicines.
For many animals, flexible and sustainable conservation programs are essential. Partnerships with other zoos can support healthy captive populations, while in-situ field work provides successful on-ground solutions for helping the Egyptian goose's habitat.
Each in-situ project supported by the zoo aims to provide a broad, holistic approach to conservation, encompassing research, education, habitat and species preservation. This includes comprehensive, cooperative strategies to link the needs of animals with the people who share their ecosystems.
The effort to save endangered species requires cooperation and support at the international, national, regional and individual levels. You can help in this cause. Join and become active in Woodland Park Zoo and other conservation organizations of your choice. Please do not buy products made from wild animal parts. Contact your elected representatives and express your views about conservation of endangered species and wild habitats.

Local Domestic Violence Services and Crisis Centers
Authored By: Texas Health and Human Services Commission
Find Local Family & Domestic Violence Services
Domestic abuse is not limited to any single culture, social class, or lifestyle. Accordingly, the needs of each domestic violence victim may be different and require different resources and solutions.
The Texas Department of Health and Human Services offers information on three types of centers that help victims of domestic violence.
- Centers that Provide Temporary Shelter and Support Services (Shelter)
- Centers with Support Services Only (Non-Residential Centers)
- Organizations that Provide Special Services for Victims of Family Violence (Special Projects)
The health and human services' directory is divided into categories that reflect these different types of services. Because of this, your city may be listed in more than one category so be sure to check each different section to learn what resources are available in your area.
