Hello all,
I was laying in bed one day, after an airsoft war thinking to myself, "man, wouldn't it be cool to have a completely original set of armor to wear when i airsoft?" so, after searching and thinking and changing my mind numerous times, i have found the armor i want to use. Boba Fett's armor. I like his armor more because it fits the area we play in, with the green and stuff. I'm not really sure how to go bout this, as i don't have very much extra money floating around, though i have extra time. I'm not to worried about paint and weathering, seen as I'll be getting shot at, but i would like to make the armor out of metal. also, for anyone that has the helmet, hows the line of sight out of it? Any suggestions, recommendations for cost, and anything else is much appreciated. Thanks all,

Assessment of Student Learning
- Overview
- General Education Assessment Guidelines (DRAFT) - [PDF]
- Core Fluencies Assessed in Capstone Courses
- Applied Competencies Assessed in Distribution Areas
The assessment of student learning is a responsibility shared by the General Education Program and the academic departments.
With the exception of LEH300 and LEH301, all courses in the General Education Program are offered by individual departments, and the assessment of student learning is properly conducted by the faculty in these disciplines. Therefore, the assessment of student learning in English Composition (ENG110 and ENG120), in mathematics (especially the courses required in General Education, MAT132, MAT171, MAT172, MAT174, MAT175), courses in foreign languages, and courses in the natural sciences are being conducted by the relevant departments.
Rather, it is the shared learning objectives—both the General Education fluencies and the applied competencies in the Distribution Areas—that are the focus of assessment by the General Education Program.
The students learning objectives that have been defined for each of the Distribution Areas are being systematically assessed in a process that is being developed and refined for the first time in the spring 2010. This assessment follows upon an intensive period of study and collaboration among the faculty teaching in these areas, during which time (beginning in spring 2004 in the early years of the program) the instructors gathered regularly to discuss and define the goals and overall learning objectives of each distribution area. This work in a series of workshops (the minutes can be found in reports on this site) also described the integration of the objectives into specific courses, how to communicate these objectives to students and faculty, and finally how to assess the learning outcomes in the distribution areas. The methods under discussion for the assessing of student learning in the Distribution Areas are described below.
Student learning objectives represented by the core fluencies will be assessed at the final stages of the General Education curriculum, in the capstone LEH300-LEH301 courses. The methods planned for this assessment are presented in the section on Core Fluencies below.

Hey guys. Due to popular demand, I'm posting a step-by-step guide to my blaster build. Enjoy!
Raw resin pieces - wash in warm soapy water and sand completely - wash again
I used Loctite Epoxy to put the pieces together
Time to fill in the gaps and holes! For this, I used Bondo Home Solutions All-Purpose Putty
After the putty dries, sand and wash again. Now time for the primer.
After several coats of primer, time to start the paintjob. First goes on the black undercoat.
After the black dries, it's time to start woodgraining. First, tape off all the parts that aren't going to be woodgrained.
The paints used for the woodgraining are: Mohawk Medium Brown/American Walnut, Cherry, Extra Dark Walnut, and a Behr sample of Ivory/Off White.
Time to start. First we use the Behr sample. I used a 1" disposable brush to make the grain. A rough brush is better than a super soft brush. You want black streaks showing through. It should not be too thick.
Once the Behr paint dried, I sprayed an even coat of the "Mohawk" Tone Finish Med Brown/American Walnut over the entire stock. This color acts as the base color.
I next sprayed "Mohawk" Extra Dark Walnut to the outer edges of the stock. You do not want to spray this color over the entire stock. This color adds the used look to the stock.
Next, I lightly sprayed "Krylon" Semi Flat Black to the "used" areas. The key word here is "lightly". This will give it more of a drastic contrast.
Finally, I sprayed an even coat of "Mohawk" Tone Finish Cherry over the entire stock. It is important to apply this color last. When this is applied over top of the Black and other colors, it will bring everything to a reddish wood tone.
After I removed the tape from the gun, I sprayed the entire stock with the "Krylon" Matte Finish spray. This will remove the brand new shiny look from the stock.
Now time to metalize! This is soooooo easy! First, I took a washcloth and cut a small square out of it. Then I sprayed the square VERY LIGHTLY with Krylon Metallic Silver. The key here is DO NOT USE TOO MUCH! You can always go backand add more later. Rub this over the "used" areas of the "metal" part of the gun to show age.

My name is Michael Lynch. I'm an East Tennessee native with a B.A. in History from Lincoln Memorial University and an M.A. in U.S. History from the University of Tennessee, where I'm currently a Ph.D. candidate in early American history. I'm developing a dissertation on the intersection of authority, manhood, order, and allegiance on the southern frontier during the American Revolution. My M.A. thesis examined evolving interpretations of Revolutionary War militiamen who fought at the Battle of King's Mountain and the forces that shaped the way Americans remembered that event.
I spent a few years doing adjunct professor gigs, but a lot of my career has been spent in public history. I did two tours of duty doing curatorial-type work at a Lincoln/Civil War museum on the campus of my alma mater, where I helped research, write, and design exhibits in addition to assisting with collections management, publications, and various other duties. I also spent a year running a historic house museum in Kentucky, and I'm currently on the board of the Gov. John Sevier Memorial Association, which provides support and oversight for Marble Springs State Historic Site in Knoxville, TN.
This site is basically my personal soapbox for expounding on matters relating to American history, especially from the colonial era through the Civil War. Historical books, sites, exhibits, debates, myths, personalities, and preservation are all fair game. I'm particularly interested in the American Revolution and the early history of Tennessee.
As a hardcore dinosaur fanatic, I sometimes indulge in posts about matters prehistoric and paleontological, too. This is an utterly unprofessional habit of mine, but one I don't care to give up.
I'm a reluctant blogger, because I agree wholeheartedly with John Lawton's statement: "The irony of the Information Age is that it has given new respectability to uninformed opinion." Hopefully you find my opinions here to be informed, but not too respectable.
If you'd like to e-mail me, the address is email@example.com. Feel free to follow my dual Twitter accounts, too. My professional account is @mlynchhist, where I keep my early Americanist hat planted firmly atop my head. My other account is @mlynch5396, where anything that piques my interest is liable to pop up.
Oh, and if you're curious about the painting in the header at the top of the blog and why I picked it, click here.

Freedom of Information: Online Education and Open Access
I'm back and holding down the fort temporarily while Dinah's away. After five years of blogging it's a little difficult to find a new topic to get excited about, and no, I'm not going to write about the Norwegian spree killer.
Instead I'm going to put up this YouTube video by law professor James Duane giving a lecture about police interrogations and how anything you say---even when it's true and even when you're innocent---can and will be used against you. I'm posting this link for two reasons: I'm interested in why people confess to crimes they don't commit, and because I think it's incredibly generous of an academician to take the time and effort to give away knowledge to the world at large. I'm a firm believer in open access education. I like the idea of using social media to give anyone a chance to learn something new.
While many people complain about the influence of the pharmaceutical industry on medical research and clinical practice, you don't often hear people express concern about the stranglehold the publishing industry has on new medical knowledge. Think about it: if you're a doctor and you practice in an isolated part of the country, with no academic affiliation, how do you get your medical literature? Maybe through a hospital library (if the hospital has one), maybe through a limited number of journals published by a couple organizations you might belong to, but not to the global world of professional publications. And it's going to cost you hundreds of dollars. And pity the forensic professional who wants to get LexisNexis access---even for lawyers this costs thousands of dollars.
This is why I give extra props to organizations like the American Academy of Psychiatry and Law (disclosure: I'm a member, big surprise there!) which has chosen to keep it's journal free and available in full text to the world at large. I'm also a fan of the Public Library of Science and Open Courseware Consortium.
Information wants to be free.
Addendum: I forgot to mention the Google Books project, which is scanning books from various academic libraries. I found this book recently: The Mental Status of Charles Guiteau. Guiteau was the man who assassinated President James Garfield. Most potent quote so far: "Crazy, perhaps, but not so crazy he should not be hung."

Discussion in 'Off The Beaten Track' started by LuckyCharm, Jan 31, 2011.
Red carpet's happening. Ceremony stars soon. Anyone watching?
I'd love to watch just to see Colin and Natalie, but I cancelled my cable subscription 3 months ago.
: Hopefully your fellow FSUers will provide you with all the juicy, snarky details you desire.
Mila Kunis looks freaking amazing. I'm in love with that dress.
Thank you in advance. Just looking at a photo posted of Jesse Eisenberg - he is so cute.
Hilary Swank's arms are RIPPED. I'd totally have her as my Grecian bodyguard.
I am really happy that Julianne Marguilies and The Good Wife got some love.
I haven't seen the show regularly but it seems like Dexter's coworkers must be the worst cops in the world.
Meh, hurry up and show Tina Fey & Amy Poehler. I need to do some other stuff.
Nooo Alec Baldwin? Again?
Wait. Jim Parson wasn't even nominated for a SAG?
Heh. Betty White just beat out both Jane Lynch and Sofia Vergara. Betty's a hoot.
Modern Family
Alec Baldwin won his *fifth* consecutive SAG Award for Male Actor in a Comedy Series.
Also, Julianna Margulies won her *fourth* SAG Award for Female Actor in a Drama Series (two she won in the 1990's for ER, last year and this year for "The Good Wife").
It would be nice if they spread it out a little. Limit one SAG per actor. At least Melissa Leo, Steve Buscemi, and Betty White are first time winners.
They both won. Meh.
I think The Social Network is no longer the favorite for Best Picture. No movie wins the Producer's Guild, Director's Guild, and Screen Actor's Guild and loses the Oscar for Best Picture. Can anyone think of a time where a movie won all three and lost?
yeah i'm eating my words now. TSN may have swept the critics' award, but TKS just trumped at the PGA, DGA, and SAG, and those are by far greater indicators of what will win at the oscars. did not see this coming.
I did! Somehow I had a gut feeling about it all along. (Not that I've seen any of the others yet -- darned Netflix says I can't have TSN for another week!)
Hmm - let's see - a movie about Facebook or a movie about the King of England overcoming a speech impediment while shepherding his country through World War II. I'm thinking the Social Network people won't be Oscar polishing.
I'm thinking that I should never complain about skating dresses again. Many of the dresses worn on the red carpet are fugly beyond belief.
This year's awards seem pretty consistent, which means the Oscars will be predictable again.
I was happy to see Melissa Leo win the best supporting actress. She deserved it. I still don't see her as the Oscar front running though. Hailee might win the Oscar, though I hope she won't. I have a problem with her being nominated as a supporting actress.
The Kings speech is officially the front runner now for best picture. Earlier it seemed the Social Network may beat it, but the SAG award is often a better indicator of the Oscars.
It amused me that TKS won for ensemble acting when just one actor won, whereas two won for The Fighter. Technically, wouldn't that mean that The Fighter's cast was a bit better?
I was kind of disappointed that Natalie Portman was so coherent tonight. We didn't get any babble about her director causing her to get really skinny and indirectly causing her to get fat, or about how her fiance really wanted to have sex with her... boo!
And what the hell, Jesus Bale is gone!
She's stunning and that dress
I may or may not have a mild girlcrush on Mila
The other looks on the other hand...I like Lea Michele's dress, but not her hair or shoes. I normally love how Dianna Agron looks, but this time she looks like she's going to prom. Jennifer Lawrence was tragic. Nicole Kidman's dress is so wrong I don't know where to start. January Jones just tries too hard.
I also thought Amber Riley looked stunning. She doesn't have the easiest body type to dress, but she tends to always look gorgeous. Julianna Margulies was simple but so elegant.
I'm gay and I have a crush on Mila! I always have, since her days on That 70's Show.
Elena Ilinykh and Mila Kunis could be twins! It's ridiculous. Maybe they wouldn't look as alike if I saw them side by side, but when just seeing a picture or one or the other, they seem practically identical!
I like Natalie Portman's column dress but more room should have been allowed for the baby bump. Love her hair and make up.
Not sure why everyone is going ooh aah over Mila's dress--may be it looks better on TV? Her hair looks pretty.
Like the looks of Hillary Swank, Amy Adams and Sofia Vergara. Dislike Jane Lynch, Kim Kardashian, Nicole Kidman, Jennifer Lawrence and Le Gasp! Helena Bonham Carter.
We'd all die of shock if HBC showed up looking decent just once.
I loved Claire Danes's dress!
Compared to the Golden Globes, I thought HBC looked halfway decent. The hair could have been a little neater, but at least this time it looks like she made an effort.
Anyone dissing Alec Baldwin winning awards is obviously NOT watching 30 Rock. He has been and is perfection in his role. The expert farce writing and supporting cast are excellent, but the show is nothing without AB (and the Jack/Liz relationship).
I'm sure that the other guys are terrific in their roles as well, but if they're better than Baldwin -- they're beyond perfect, and I should be watching those shows!
Speaking of 30 Rock: It's not chatted about here much (sigh, I've failed to keep threads alive on it), but it's having an amazing season. Huge recovery from what seemed to be the beginning of the end season, last season.
And, Tina Fey looked terrific in her red strapless number, last night.
for modern family winning the best comedy ensemble. They really, really are.
No. It's not just based on the nominees. It's the ensemble. Plus, TKS won in lead actor whereas The Fighter won in supporting roles and their lead actor didn't even get a nomination. Honestly, I think you could make a case for either one. Colin Firth, Geoffrey Rush, and Helena Bonham Carter really were fabulous, and I think the rest of the supporting cast probably was stronger than their counterparts in The Fighter. But, definitely kudos to Bale, Leo, and Adams.
Great dress and she is stunning but ... holy unfortunate photo composition, batman, the velvet ropes in the background look like some bizzare belt or body chains!

Advice for 22 owners, this also works for other guns.
After you buy your 22 and take it home. Read the manual and then field strip, clean and lube it. Learn how to clean your gun, not just run a patch down the barrel.
Before you go shooting, pick up 4, 5 or more different brands/types of ammo. Try each brand and find the one YOUR gun likes best. Don't keep trying to get one brand to work because it's cheaper, your buddy or the guy at the store recommended it. If it doesn't work, jams, won't feed or group move on.
When you're shooting for the first time, use factory magazines. There are a ton of aftermarket mags out there to try later.
If you have a problem pay attention to what it is.
Is the safety off?
Is the mag fully seated in the gun?
Is the slide or bolt all the way forward?
Is the gun (chamber, bolt, slide) clean?
Is it a specific brand of ammo?
Is it a specific type of ammo (ie solids, hollow points)?
Is it one magazine or all of them?
Are the feed lips bent or damaged on the mag?
Are the spring and follower good in the mag?
Does it happen when the gun is in a different position?
Now if you have a problem it's easier to pinpoint and solve.

Biotech: Buy the Trial, Sell the Approval?
Anyone watching stocks like ManKind (MNKD) and Intercept Pharmaceuticals (ICPT) know that getting FDA approval for a new drug is a big deal. It could also be the end of the road as far is the big gains are concerned.
Cowen's Eric Schmidt and team looked at how biotech stocks performed both before and after drug approvals. They explain their results:
The great majority of companies (20 out of 29) exhibited positive stock price performance 12 months ahead of their first FDA approval. Moreover, both mean and median stock price performance exhibited a correlation with time. Stocks produced the greatest returns 12 months ahead of approval, and incrementally lower performance six, three, and one months prior to approval...
In contrast, the performance of stocks following an FDA approval decision has been quite poor. Mean and median stock price performance was fairly flat for the first three to six months post licensure. However, by six to twelve months post-approval stock performance had turned sour. Mean performance was down 24% and median performance down 49% in the 12 months following approval. Within the first year following an FDA approval 16 of 24 companies had underperformed the NBI, while five others had yet to reach their one-year post approval anniversary.
The good news is that if a stock has outperformed in the 12 months following approval, it's likely to continue outperforming, Schmidt says.
Stocks that have Phase III data that could lead to an approval include Acadia Pharmaceuticals (ACAD), Alexion Pharmaceuticals (ALXN), Intercept, InterMune (ITMN), Kythera Biopharmaceuticals (KYTH), Merrimack Pharmaceuticals (MACK), and Relypsa (RLYP). On the other hand, stocks that have recently received approval or are nearing it "that might be at risk of disappointing over the next 6-12 months" include AcelRx Pharmaceuticals (ACRX), Alimera Sciences (ALIM), Anacor Pharmaceuticals (ANAC), Biogen Idec (BIIB), Celgene (CELG), Cubist Pharmaceuticals (CBST), Durata Therapeutics (DRTX), Keryx Biopharmaceuticals (KERX), MannKind, and Orexigen Therapeutics (OREX).
Shares of MannKind have dropped 4.7% to $10.45 at 11:26 a.m., while Intercept Pharmaceuticals has risen 6.9% to $252.96, Biogen Idec has advanced 2.8% to $324.11 and Celgene has gained 2.6% to $88.07. The Nasdaq Biotechnology ETF (IBB) is up 2% to $262.23.


text: I couldn´t agree more! We can´t be the only (and the first ones) who compare these two cases. Karel Fajfrs case was controversially discussed, when Anette Dytrt chose him as a coach. I remember clearly, that people were OK with it after a short time, as long as he doesn´t coach young underaged girls. Now he coaches Pröls/ Blommaert, and everyone is OK with that too. I mean, he seems to be rehabilitated completely from his past, I can´t see a single reason why Ingo shouldn´t be as well.

Do You Follow Your Child's Doctor's Advice?
Do You Follow Your Child's Doctor's Advice?
Do you follow your child's doctor's advice? If not, you're not alone but you may be setting your child up for future health problems according to a new study.
The study showed that 56 %, about two-thirds, of parents said they followed the doctor's advice most of the time, and 13% said they followed it only occasionally.
The findings were produced by, the University of Michigan C.S. Mott Children's Hospital National Poll on Children's Health.
One possible reason as to why parents didn't always follow their child's doctor's advice was how well they related to their medical provider. Among parents who rated their children's doctor as excellent or talking to me in a way I can understand, 6 % said they followed the advice only occasionally. But 46% who rated their doctor as good, fair or poor said they also followed his or her advice only occasionally.
"Parents need to ask for clarification if they are unsure about what the provider is saying, or why it's important," said Dr. Matthew Davis, director of the poll. Doctors should use clear language, ask parents about their concerns, and give practical examples of what works with children, he said.
That last point cannot be emphasized enough. While parents need to speak up if they don't understand what the doctor is telling them, providers need to take the time to ask the parents questions to make sure they understand what is being said and why. Too often parents say they feel they are being rushed out of the exam room and receive information that is given to them in doctor speak and not common language.
What advice are parents more likely to heed? The studys results say that recommendations on nutrition, dentist visits and using car seats.
What recommendations were parents least likely to follow? 40 % said they didn't follow advice on discipline, 18% said they didn't follow advice on sleeping recommendations and 13% didn't follow advice about watching too much TV.
Income also seemed to play a role in following advice. Lower-income households (less than $60,000 a year), were more than twice as likely to say they followed their child's doctor's advice only occasionally (17%) as compared to 8% of parents from higher-income households.
Sarah J. Clark, associate director of the poll, said parents who do not follow advice consistently may be putting their child's health at risk for long-lasting health problems.
For instance, studies have shown that children who do not get enough sleep have trouble focusing in school and have less control over their emotions. Drinking too many sugary drinks and spending a lot of time in front of the TV have been linked to childhood obesity. Putting babies to sleep on their stomachs has been linked with an increased risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS).
Paying attention to your child's doctor could keep your little one safer and healthier. If you have questions don't be shy, speak up and make sure you understand what you are being told and why. If you don't feel like you're receiving the kind of care your child needs, look for another provider. Pediatrician's and general care physicians have lots of science-based advice on a large assortment of topics that can benefit your child and family.
The poll included a national sample of parents of children up to age 8.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|54 Chevy
|Thanks for the great response to a pretty basic question. I'm going to make my own piston stop and go at it that way. Seems more sure fire.
|Henry Highrise
|Go to the RBBO How To section, there are step by step instructions for doing this . http://hotrodders.com/RBBO/howto/ We are in the process of getting lots of tips and How Tos to put on this page so earmark it because you will want to come back.
|you would be surprised at how many people don't realize there are 2 tdc. dang near got into a fistfight trying to help my old roommate, walked off, let him fiddle til the battery was almost dead, he gave up, i spun it 180 and it started immediately i agree with f1, spin it 180 if results are off, hey you have a 50/50 chance, i'll take those odds.
|Only correct way to do it is as F1 has said ..Make a piston stop out of and old spark plug with a bolt welded in to it.Now turn the engine over by hand till the piston touches the stop ..mark the damper..now turn the engine back the other way till it stops ..mark the damper..Exactly in the middle of those 2 marks is TDC(This why you would do good if you could get a degree wheel in place) never do this with the starter motor or you will damage the motor..i also remove all plugs it just makes it easer to turn the motor over. This is one of those things that is wrong on 90% of the engines out there... It should be the first thing you do when building and engine and the heads are off. Bolt on tabs and damper's are allways wrong..i do mean allmost all the time. Plus the OEM ones slip all the time. Timing and engine by ear is just not and option any more 2 degrees is a lot to miss. So its a good rainy day project that costs nothing to do and helps with power..econmy...starting..and overheating problems. Set timing also at total advance(2500 rpms roughly 32-38 degrees total) and work back from there. Not static.(you know 4 degree before or 8 degrees thats just not getting your moneys worth)
|I always turn the damper so the timing mark is at about 5 degrees BTDC (before top dead center). This gives enough advance for the motor to start easily on the first crank. Then go through procedure and set your timing to factory specs.
Generally I agree in principal to Dmorris 1200. However, don't trust your wife with the starter trigger. I suggest the use of a piston stop which screws into the spark plug hole. You screw it in until it contacts the piston just before TDC and note the position on the harmonic balancer. Then reverse the rotation and do it again without adjusting the depth of the piston stop. Again mark the location on the balancer. The exact difference between the two marks is exactly TDC or BDC. Note that this does not take into consideration that the cam runs at half the speed of the crank, so the distributor can still be 180 degress out of phase. To determine which it is you would have to take the valve cover off to see if the intake valve is just closing for TDC.
But I don't go to that trouble. If the engine won't run one way, I pull the distributor and move it 180 degrees or move the wires and it will start.

I like the old finger in the hole trick. This assures you are TDC on compression stoke. Take out #1 spark plug, stick your thumb or finger in the hole and turn over engine with socket on crankshaft bolt. When you feel it push your finger out of the hole thats compression stroke on #1. Then just line up 0 degree timing mark and check distributor. Now I've never done this on a brand spankin new engine cause usually I'm installing the distributor myself after assembling engine. I also usually pump up my lifters before putting them in the engine and then I'll spin the oil pump shaft with an air drill before installing distributor.

Sure fire way to find TDC ?
What is the best way to find TDC on a small block Chevy? The engine is assembled (not by me) and I think the distributor was installed wrong by a few degrees. I'm using a HEI distributor.
Ive heard something about pulling the rocker covers cranking the engine and watching for some particular valve set to be open or closed or something. How will I know when they are open or closed? Do I have to crank it enough to pump up the lifters?
Once I determine I'm at TDC shouldn't the timing tab line up with the timing mark on the harmonic balance?
Thanks

Los Angeles • Matt Kuchar finished just as strong as he started Thursday and made it look easy in the Northern Trust Open.
Kuchar opened with three straight birdies, all of them putts inside 3 feet, and finished with back-to-back birdies at Riviera for a 7-under 64 that gave him a two-shot lead among the early starters in the Northern Trust Open.
Brandt Jobe, returning from a serious neck injury last year, put his experience to use. Jobe played golf at UCLA and has lost track of the times he has played Riviera. He ran off four straight birdies late in his round before a bogey on the 18th forced him to settle for a 66.
Fred Couples, the 53-year-old who feels rejuvenated on this golf course, had a 68.
Teen star Lydia Ko shot a 10-under 63 on Thursday to take the first-round lead in the LPGA Tour's season-opening Women's Australian Open in Canberra.
The 15-year-old amateur won the New Zealand Women's Open on Sunday for her third victory in a professional tournament. Last year, Ko won the New South Wales Open to become the youngest player to win a pro tour event and the Canadian Open to become the youngest LPGA Tour winner. Leaderboard

AMES, Iowa – The Iowa State University Plant and Insect Diagnostic Clinic confirmed today that the spotted wing drosophila (SWD), an invasive pest that can cause damage to many fruit crops, has been found in Story County, Iowa.
"This is the first confirmed SWD infestation in Iowa," said Laura Jesse, entomologist with ISU Plant and Insect Diagnostic Clinic. "Previous specimens had been collected in Dubuque County that appeared to originate in fruit brought from another state."
The spotted wing drosophila (Drosophila suzukii) is an invasive pest that attacks fresh fruits and is fast becoming a problem throughout the U.S., Jesse said. Drosophila flies, sometimes called vinegar flies, are familiar to producers and homeowners. The household fruit fly is commonly found on or near overripe, damaged and fermenting fruits and vegetables. The new, invasive species is closely related but behaves very differently.
SWD causes damage when the female flies cut a slit and lay eggs in healthy, undamaged fruit, particularly thin-skinned fruits such as raspberries, blackberries, blueberries, cherries, strawberries and grapes. Larvae emerge inside the fruit and begin to feed causing collapse and eventual decay and complete destruction of the fruit. "Producers of raspberries, strawberries, plums and other soft skin fruits in neighboring states have been seriously impacted with maggots in the fruit. Some producers are facing a complete loss of their crop this year," Jesse said.
SWD is native to Asia and has been in Hawaii since the 1980s. It was found in the mainland U.S. in California in 2008 and quickly spread to Oregon, Washington and Canada. It is now widely established in North America with confirmed detections in at least 20 states, including neighboring Wisconsin, Illinois and Minnesota. SWD has been detected along the Atlantic coast from Maine to Florida and in New York, Ohio and Michigan. It appears that SWD is here to stay and has spread very quickly. Human-assisted transport is the likely cause of the recent rapid spread. The small flies cannot fly very far and natural dispersion in unlikely.
SWD is approximately one-eighth inch long and resembles the common household vinegar flies with bright red eyes, a pale brown body, dark horizontal stripes on the abdomen and two transparent wings. Distinguishing SWD from the normal fruit fly (Drosophila melanogaster) requires magnification with a hand lens or microscope. The adult males of SWD have a dark spot along the front edge of the wing near the wingtip. The females have an extended ovipositor (egg laying organ) on the end of the abdomen. The ovipositor has two rows of dark, serrated, saw-like teeth that allow this female to saw open and lay eggs in healthy fruit.
"Once established this new pest will cause big headaches for fruit growers and home gardeners," said Donald Lewis, entomologist with ISU Extension and Outreach. "Management options are being refined and will be shared at a later date." Until then, Lewis said to consider the following:
Though this is the first confirmed infestation of SWD in Iowa, it is likely that the insect is already established elsewhere in the state.
"We are interested in documenting the presence of SWD in Iowa," Lewis said. "Your help in tracking its distribution in the state will be appreciated. Please report your observations and submit suspected specimens to the Plant and Insect Diagnostic Clinic." Directions for submitting insect samples are found at www.ent.iastate.edu/pidc/.
Lewis said property owners can make simple, vinegar-baited traps for surveying their property. Instructions for building and using traps for monitoring SWD in fruit plantings can be found at http://www.ipm.msu.edu/SWD/SWD-monitor.htm.

From HaskellWiki
1 Cartesian Closed Categories and typed lambda-calculus
A category is said to have pairwise products if for any objects A,B, there is a product object .
A category is said to have pairwise coproducts if for any objects A,B, there is a coproduct object A + B.
Recall when we talked about internal homs in Lecture 2. We can now define what we mean, formally, by the concept:
Definition An object C in a category D is an internal hom object or an exponential object or BA if it comes equipped with an arrow , called the evaluation arrow, such that for any other arrow , there is a unique arrow such that the composite
is f.
The idea here is that with something in an exponential object, and something in the source of the arrows we imagine live inside the exponential, we can produce the evaluation of the arrow at the source to produce something in the target. Using global elements, this reasoning comes through in a more natural manner: given and we can produce the global element . Furthermore, we can always produce something in the exponential whenever we have something that looks as if it should be there.
And with this we can define
Definition A category C is a Cartesian Closed Category or a CCC if:
- C has a terminal object 1
- Each pair of objects has a product and projections , .
- For every pair of objects, there is an exponential object with an evaluation map .
1.1 Currying
Note that the exponential as described here is exactly what we need in order to discuss the Haskell concept of multi-parameter functions. If we consider the type of a binary function in Haskell:
binFunction :: a -> a -> a
On the other hand, we can feed in both values at once, and get
binFunction' :: (a,a) -> a
which lives in the exponential object .
These are genuinely different objects, but they seem to do the same thing: consume two distinct values to produce a third value. The resolution of the difference lies, again, in a recognition from Set theory: there is an isomorphism
which we can use as inspiration for an isomorphism valid in Cartesian Closed Categories.
1.2 Typed lambda-calculus
The lambda-calculus, and later the typed lambda-calculus both act as foundational bases for computer science, and computer programming in particular. The idea in both is that everything is a function, and we can reduce the act of programming to function application; which in turn can be analyzed using expression rewriting rules that encapsulate the act of computation in a sequence of formal rewrites.
Definition A typed lambda-calculus is a formal theory with types, terms, variables and equations. Each term a has a type A associated to it, and we write a:A or . The system is subject to a sequence of rules:
- There is a type 1. Hence, the empty lambda calculus is excluded.
- If A,B are types, then so are and . These are, initially, just additional symbols, not imbued with the associations we usually give the symbols used.
- There is a term * :1. Hence, the lambda calculus without any terms is excluded.
- For each type A, there is an infinite (countable) supply of terms .
- If a:A,b:B are terms, then there is a term .
- If then there are terms proj1(c):A,proj2(c):B.
- If a:A And , then there is a term fa:B.
- If x:A is a variable and φ(x):B is a term, then there is a . Note that here, φ(x) is a meta-expression, meaning we have SOME lambda-calculus expression that may include the variable x.
- There is a relation a = Xa' for each set of variables X that occur freely in either a or a'. This relation is reflexive, symmetric and transitive. Recall that a variable is free in a term if it is not in the scope of a λ-expression naming that variable.
- If a:1 then a = {} * . In other words, up to lambda-calculus equality, there is only one value of type * .
- If , then a = Xa' implies a = Ya'. Binding more variables gives less freedom, not more, and thus cannot suddenly make equal expressions differ.
- a = Xa' implies fa = Xfa'.
- f = Xf' implies fa = Xf'a. So equality plays nice with function application.
- implies λxφ(x) = Xλxφ'(x). Equality behaves well with respect to binding variables.
- proj1(a,b) = Xa, proj2(a,b) = Xb, c = X(proj1(c),proj2(c)) for all a,b,c,X.
- λxφ(x)a = Xφ(a) if a is substitutable for x in φ(x) and φ(a) is what we get by substituting each occurrence of x bya in φ(x). A term is substitutable for another if by performing the substitution, no occurrence of any variable in the term becomes bound,
- .
- if x' is substitutable for x in φ(x) and each variable is not free in the other expression.
Note that = X is just a symbol. The axioms above give it properties that work a lot like equality, but two lambda calculus-equal terms are not equal unless they are identical. However, a = Xb tells us that in any model of this lambda calculus - where terms, types, et.c. are replaced with actual things (mathematical objects, say, or a programming language semantics embedding typed lambda calculus) - then the things given by translating a and b into the model should end up being equal.
Any actual realization of typed lambda calculus is bound to have more rules and equalities than the ones listed here.
With these axioms in front of us, however, we can see how lambda calculus and Cartesian Closed Categories fit together: We can go back and forth between the wo concepts in a natural manner:
1.2.1 Lambda to CCC
Given a typed lambda calculus L, we can define a CCC C(L). Its objects are the types of L. An arrow from A to B is an equivalence class (under = {x}) of terms of type B, free in a single variable x:A.
We need the equivalence classes because for any variable x:A, we want to be the global element of corresponding to the identity arrow. Hence, that variable must itself correspond to an identity arrow.
And then the rules for the various constructions enumerated in the axioms correspond closely to what we need to prove the resulting category to be cartesian closed.
1.2.2 CCC to Lambda
To go in the other direction, starting out with a Cartesian Closed Category and finding a typed lambda calculus corresponding to it, we construct its internal language.
Given a CCC C, we can assume that we have chosen, somehow, one actual product for each finite set of factors. Thus, both all products and all projections are well defined entities, with no remaining choice to determine them.
The types of the internal language L(C) are just the objects of C. The existence of products, exponentials and terminal object covers axioms 1-2. We can assume the existence of variables for each type, and the remaining axioms correspond to definition and behaviour of the terms available.
Using the properties of a CCC, it is at this point possible to prove a resulting equivalence of categories C(L(C)) = C, and similarly, with suitable definitions for what it means for formal languages to be equivalent, one can also prove for a typed lambda-calculus L that L(C(L)) = L.
More on this subject can be found in:
- Lambek & Scott: Aspects of higher order categorical logic and Introduction to higher order categorical logic
More importantly, by stating λ-calculus in terms of a CCC instead of in terms of terms and rewriting rules is that you can escape worrying about variable clashes, alpha reductions and composability - the categorical translation ignores, at least superficially, the variables, reduces terms with morphisms that have equality built in, and provides associative composition for free.
At this point, I'd recommend reading more on Wikipedia [1] and [2], as well as in Lambek & Scott: Introduction to Higher Order Categorical Logic. The book by Lambek & Scott goes into great depth on these issues, but may be less than friendly to a novice.
2 Limits and colimits
One design pattern, as it were, that we have seen occur over and over in the definitions we've seen so far is for there to be some object, such that for every other object around, certain morphisms have unique existence.
We saw it in terminal and initial objects, where there's a unique map from or to every other object. And in products/coproducts where a wellbehaved map, capturing any pair of maps has unique existence. And finally, above, in the CCC characterization of the internal hom, we had a similar uniqueness requirement for the lambda map.
One thing we can notice is that the isomorphisms theorems for all these cases look very similar to each other: in each isomorphism proof, we produce the uniquely existing morphisms, and prove that their uniqueness and their other properties force the maps to really be isomorphisms.
Now, category theory has a philosophy slightly similar to design patterns - if we see something happening over and over, we'll want to generalize it. And there are generalizations available for these!
2.1 Diagrams, cones and limits
A diagram F of the shape of a category D (often finite or countable), in a category C is just a functor .
When we talk about diagrams, we tend to think of them less as just functors, and more as their images - the important part of a diagram F is the objects and their layout in C, and not the process of going to C from D.
- Generalizing these constructions
- Diagram and universal object mapping to (from) the diagram
- Express product/coproduct as limit/colimit
- Issues with Haskell
- No dependent types
- No compiler-enforced equational conditions
- Can be simulated but not enforced, e.g. using QuickCheck.
2.2 Useful limits and colimits
2.2.1 Equalizer, coequalizer
- Kernels, cokernels, images, coimages
- connect to linear algebra: null spaces et.c.
2.2.2 Pushout and pullback squares
- Computer science applications
3 Homework
- Prove that currying/uncurrying are isomorphisms in a CCC. Hint: the map is a map .
- Prove that in a CCC, the composition is .
- * Implement a typed lambda calculus as an EDSL in Haskell.

Eight Distros a Week: Debian 4.0
[NOTE: For some reason, I went to bed last night thinking this had posted to WordPress. It hadn't So I'm a day behind. Nevertheless, this is the second in an eight-part series on distros I use. These observations are based on distros running on one or more of the following hardware: Dell Inspiron 5000 laptop, an brandless Pentium III-based desktop, an IBM PL 300 PII, an iMac G3 (Indigo) and an iBook G3. As the auto commercials say, your mileage may vary.]
Talking about this particular review with a trusted friend who far out-geeks me (but I'm working on it), he made the following comparison. "Isn't reviewing Debian kind of like reviewing your mother?"
There's something to be said for that. As one of the three "mothers" of all currently active distros — Slackware and Red Hat being the other two — Debian is the first distro that I encountered after liberating myself from proprietary operating systems. So like thousands, possibly millions, of other GNU/Linux users, Debian and I have "a history."
Before I start, a caveat: I was enamored by Debian the first time I used it on a friend's machine; so much so that the first thing I did when I got home that day was to burn all 15 disks to install it. It wasn't until much later that I was advised to use the net install for better results. The moral of this story: Do a net install and save your blank CDs.
[Anyone need a set of Debian CDs?]
I run Debian on all my Macintosh PowerPC machines for two basic reasons. First, because it works flawlessly on the hardware, and secondly — and probably more importantly — while Debian developers seem to be on top of just about every possible personal-computing architecture on this planet, they also have the foresight to recognize that there is a whole armada of PowerPC-based Macs (especially G3s) that have been abandoned by Apple — thanks a lot, Steve — and the G3/G4 family (shoot, even earlier PowerPCs) are going to need a distro that allows them to extend their already lenghty longevity.
For Macs, Debian 4.0 could very well be the best GNU/Linux distro available. The performance on two iMacs and an iBook were both flawless and no discernable speed was sacrificed even with the somewhat bearable heaviness of the GNOME desktop environment (keep those cards and letters, GNOME-heads: I like GNOME, but I find it a bit bloated and sometimes unwieldy on older machines).
The Debian library of software is legendary, so there's no need to go into that here. The Synaptic Package Manager has always been one of my favorite programs — I know there must be a 12-step program out there to resolve that — but the availablilty of software is one of the more intriguing parts of the Debian experience; a facet it shares with the family of distros related to Debian. The software update feature — blasted by a Wall Street Journal writer recently as his primary reason not to convert to GNU/Linux (good reason, jerk) — is timely to a fault. I have to confess that I don't always update when I'm told, but I find later that I should probably heed the updating call when requested to do so.
Speaking of software, I have to admit I'm enamored by Iceweasel, Debian's browser. Another feature on the drop down Applications menu that some may find trivial — but I find it extremely helpful — is the Debian list that breaks down the programs on the computer by Apps, Games, Help, and Xshells. Trivial, perhaps, but it's a feature that both newbies and experienced users can find what they're looking for quickly.
A knock on Debian — an unfair knock in my opinion — is that they don't release updates like clockwork, like this major distro that schedules its year on April and October releases, for example. But bear in mind that this distro — Ubuntu and its tribe of derivatives (we'll be talking about Xubuntu later this week) — is based on Debian. So those of you using any of the *buntus should consider the source.
Debian 4.0 lives up to its name, and its continuing legacy, as one of GNU/Linux's premiere and forward-thinking distros.
Coming tomorrow: Fedora 7.0 / 8.0

What Tires Are Right For Your Truck?
So you're in need of a set of tires for your truck? No problem! The question is, though, what kind of tires are going to be best?
First, you'll need to think about what you use that truck for. Will you regularly be hauling heavy loads or pulling a trailer? Do you expect to keep it on the pavement for the most part, or will you occasionally go off-road? If you go off-road, will it be on soft dirt or will you be plowing through brush, mud, and rocks? And finally…what's your budget?
If you're wanting to keep it on the pavement most of the time and your truck is a daily driver for errands, school, soccer, and grocery runs, all-season tires are probably the right choice. All-season light truck tires can rival the best passenger tires when it comes to noise level, ...[more]

I have discovered lots of horror stories about a Chinese school I am due to start working for.
If I breach my contract by not starting my job there, how much would this impact my chances of getting teaching work in other Asian countries (other than China)? Could they file charges against me while I'm in the UK?
Could they blacklist me internationally? They already have my passport scan, could they publish this and flag me internationally?
I really want to teach in Asia but not for this school as after what I have read I am worried the experience will put me off for life.
Any help would be appreciated.

I apologize if this exists but I couldn't find it.
I was looking for a cleaned up list of the helmet paints, maybe by item number or something. The problem is some of the lists say Polly Scale, but are a mix of enamel and acrylic, or Model Masters is mixed in, but the list doesnt specify which is which. Some say things like "Caboose - Not Caboose Red" or "Concrete" but all you find is "Aged Concrete" and I have yet to find one site that even seems to have everything. One site may have 2 of them, another 3, etc.
So basically an acrylic (not enamels mixed in) list with item/part numbers so theres no wondering if something is right.
Does this exist or does everyone just kinda deal with going to 6 places to get 10 items?

By Chris Harris
Arsène Wenger believes that a second-half sending off was one of the turning points in last season's dramatic 4-4 draw at Newcastle.
In arguably the most eye-catching game of the Premier League campaign, Arsenal raced into a 4-0 half-time lead before Johan Djourou limped off and Abou Diaby saw red for reacting to a challenge from Joey Barton.
In a frantic finale Newcastle hit back to earn a point with Barton scoring twice from the spot. Wenger has plenty of regrets from that February afternoon but he believes Diaby's dismissal was the key.
"We had an exceptional first half in that game and we were only caught back when we played with ten men," he said ahead of Saturday's trip to Tyneside.
"We conceded two penalties under very special circumstances on the day and were a bit unlucky.
"Because we got caught back we didn't get any credit for the good first-half performance, but I can understand that."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc. Permission to use quotations from this article is granted subject to appropriate credit being given to www.arsenal.com as the source

The module is called 12 steps to Navier-Stokes equations (yes, it's a tongue-in-cheek allusion of the recovery programs for behavioral problems). It was inspired by the ideas of Dr. Rio Yokota, who was a post-doc in Barba's lab, and has been refined by Prof. Barba and her students over several semesters teaching the course.

text: I don't like the fact the Tiger's manager Leyland guaranteed a victory...for the Twins. He basically told his team that the Twins were going to win all their remaining games...on Friday. To me, that has had an effect on the Tigers. He's chosen the wrong tact to inspire his team for this last series. Also, what's up with Cabrera's eye? Wonder if he got a clubhouse punch?

Traveling the PacificBuy Tickets
What is it like to live on a tropical island? This exhibition explores the intersection between geography and culture that has shaped life on the Pacific Islands for thousands of years—and continues to do so today.
In Traveling the Pacific, you can:
- Touch different kinds of rock formed from cooling lava and investigate the geologic forces that created Hawaii and the thousands of other island chains that are a hallmark of the Pacific Ocean.
- Examine an outrigger canoe that once skimmed the waves among the Marshall Islands and learn how Pacific Islanders have navigated for thousands of years by surveying the skies and ocean currents.
- Explore the roles of men and women in village life in New Guinea in the early 1900s.
- Visit a recreated modern marketplace in Tahiti, where vendors sell everything from breadfruit, ginger root, and carrots to woven baskets and fishing gear.
- Observe Museum conservators at work in The Regenstein Laboratory to consolidate flaking paint layers, mend torn fibers, and otherwise stabilize precious artifacts to be preserved for future generations.

Motion sickness, mal de mer, "vestibular malfunction resulting in gastric dysrhythmia"whatever term you use for seasickness, everyone who has experienced it will try anything to avoid a recurrence. While most of us believe that sailors are the primary target for motion sickness, the majority of the research on this problem has been developed for the space program. For those who saw the movie Apollo 13, it is clear why motion sickness could rapidly become a lethal illness.
For anyone who has gone through seasickness, the situation is not only uncomfortable, but it can affect the ultimate safety of the passage, such as when a crew member is incapacitated on a shorthanded boat. And, typically, it is when the boat is in rough weather and extra hands are needed that motion sickness strikes.
Motion sickness, or MS, is a normal physiologic response and is caused by repeated rhythmic stimulation of the vestibular system. Basically, this means the motion of the boat (especially the vertical motion encountered in a head sea) will lead to these well-known symptoms: nausea, vomiting, sweating, fatigue, malaise, and vertigo. MS is worsened when there is conflict between the visual and vestibular cues. For example, reading will give the visual cue of stability while the body will sense the motion of the boat. It is best to match the visual cues to the environment.
Most researchers agree that acclimation to the motion (which takes from 48 to 72 hours) will decrease the incidence of MS by up to 90 percent. Research performed during the 1992-93 British Steel Challenge (the wrong-way, around-the-world race) showed a correlation between increased MS while beating and decreased MS while running or reaching. Cooking, writing, chart table and navigation work were found to increase symptoms, while being on deck helming or lying down decreased symptoms.
Pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic methods exist that can be effective; the important thing to remember is that different remedies work well for different individuals. You must find the one that works best for you.
The majority of the literature you'll encounter indicates that the most effective preparation to combat MS is a combination of scopolamine and amphetamine. This has resulted in the popular Transderm-Scop, or "the patch." This system delivers one milligram of scopolamine slowly over a three-day period. After that, acclimation should have occurred and the patch should no longer be needed. While this solution has been found to be successful, dizziness, drowsiness, ringing in the ears, blurred vision, urinary difficulty, and skin rash are among the potential side effects. The use of Transderm-Scop, which is only available by prescription, should be discussed with your health-care provider.
The most common over-the-counter preparations are antihistamines such as Dramamine (dimenhydrinate), Marezine (cyclizine), Bonine (meclizine), and Benadryl (diphenhydramine hydrochloride). Another preparation, Stugeron (cinnarizine) is available in Europe and Canada and is reportedly very popular.
The over-the-counter preparations are generally less effective than scopolamine, but they are also associated with fewer side effects. The most common side effect from antihistamines is drowsiness. While the overall decrease of symptoms is similar with Dramamine and Marezine, according to a recent study comparing the two, Dramamine seemed to affect the central nervous system more directly and caused increased drowsiness. Marezine seemed to lessen gastrointestinal complaints with less drowsiness. These differences may help individuals choose the best preparation for their specific symptoms.
For those who prefer to avoid medication, there are a number of natural remedies available. Ginger root has been found to be effective in decreasing post-operative nausea as well as MS symptoms. It is available in liquid, tablet, or natural form.
A 1995 study evaluated the "Relief Band," a device that actively stimulates the P6 point with a small electrical pulse. Results indicate that this form of active stimulation is effective in preventing and/or lessening existing symptoms of MS. In addition, there were no side effects reported by the subjects in this study.
Regardless of your outlook, for anyone planning to sail in the open ocean for more than a day, seasickness is a serious concern. It has earned itself the following unflattering description: "First you are afraid you are going to die, then you are afraid you wont." Many people shy away from sailing after experiencing a bout of seasickness. For those who venture out on the water frequently, seasickness can, at best, ruin an otherwise pleasant sail and, at worst, put the vessel and crew at risk. It is important to acknowledge each crew members susceptibility to MS and take preventative measures.

Our team of physical therapists provide
outpatient rehabilitation and a full range
of physical therapy services with aerobic
and strengthening equipment, physical
agents, and balance training.
Learn more
View a PDF of this information here
Following the surgical procedure of a total joint replacement, you will require therapy services both in the hospital setting and after discharge from the hospital. You will be most comfortable working with therapy if you are dressed. You should bring a pair of shoes with good support that can be loosened to accommodate mild swelling (such as sneakers), and a couple of sets of loose-fitting clothing such as sweat pants or shorts.
Occupational Therapist will work with you to teach you how to perform the functional activities that are a part of your daily life, such as transfers, dressing, bathing and kitchen skills.
Physical Therapist will work with you to obtain good motion, strengthen the muscles around your new joint, and teach you to walk on level surfaces and stairs.
Day of Surgery: Your orthopedic surgeon may order physical therapy to start on the day of surgery. On this day, we will start working on transfers out of bed and getting you up on your feet using a walker. We will walk with you to your tolerance on the orthopedic unit. You will be able to bear as much weight as you are comfortable with on your leg.
Post-op day 1 to 3: You will be seen by both Occupational Therapy and Physical Therapy. Physical Therapy is generally twice each day. Occupational Therapy is once daily.
Walker You will need to use a walker for one to two weeks. After that, you will progress to a straight cane.
Straight Cane You will need to use a straight cane until you get good strength and motion in your surgical joint, usually four to six weeks.
Some patients have difficulty performing skills at home. Though not everyone requires the use of special equipment, the following equipment may help you in your daily activities. (Many items are not reimbursed by insurance; please contact your individual carrier to check for coverage guidelines.)
You will need to exercise your new joint so that it will work at its optimal level. This takes commitment to the exercise program. While you are in the hospital setting, we will start with a set of core exercises.
Initially, the weight of your leg will give you the resistance you need to strengthen your leg. Over your recovery period, these exercises will progress to increase the number of repetitions that you perform, as well as to increase the amount of weight that you can lift.
You will need to be diligent at home and practice your exercises two to three times daily for up to three months. After this time, your strength will be sufficient to resume your pre-surgical activities.
Following discharge, you will need to continue physical therapy services for four to six weeks. This can be accomplished in a home setting, an outpatient clinic or a rehabilitation center.
While you are in the hospital, you will work with your therapists and your physician to determine the best setting for you to continue those services.
Before you go home you should be able to:
Get in and out of bed by yourself
Get on and off the toilet by yourself
Walk down the hall with an assistive device
Manage stairs at home
Perform your exercises on your own
Remove all small rugs, such as scatter rugs.
Use caution in areas where the floor may become wet, such as bathrooms and kitchens.
Use small lights in any darkened area you may walk to during the night.
Reinforce any loose support rails.
Remove any areas of clutter in the spaces you will use so you can move easily around your home.
Be alert to pets at home that may walk or run in your path.
Use caution on icy or wet surfaces outside your home.
Do not drive or operate a motor vehicle, regardless of which leg had surgery, until your orthopedic physician tells you that you can resume.

Thanks for the review. I have a Vortex Strikefire on my shorty and I am very impressed.
UPS brought my new vortex diamondback 2-7x 35mm scope yesterday from ADORAMA camera in NY.
the thing was very lightly boxed and in a shrink wrap -- it got here in good shape but it makes me wonder how many things get smashed that are that lightly boxed??--
- the scope is very light and has just to correct length to fit my burris cantilever scope mount with very little room to spare. it does provide the proper eye relief for me.
the mag adjustment was a little stiff at first, a couple cycles and it eased up quite a bit. very nice occular adjustments , beautifully clear optically. very wide EYE box and a very large "sweet-spot". the only optical issue is that in 2x there is a little fish-eye around the outer edges. nothing serious at all really--it is gone 3x and up.
from there out the scope is 100% on the money.
this scope has a very wide FOV @ 2x -- i suspect that the 2x on this scope is probably more like 1.75x . it also seems to be very "strong" on 7x --like 7x+++ LOL --
anyway this scope does have a very wide usable range . --seems to have plenty of eye relief for an ar-15 type set up. the burris mount or any of that style should set it up about perfect for the proper eye relief on a flattop.
it is light enough to saddle-back a holo without much weight penalty.
the adjustments seem precise with good clicks you can hear and feel. it does have a re-set to zero feature.
i haven't zeroed it yet-- but out of the box it looks like a winner for the ar-15s. maybe i just got lucky--but i suspect vortex makes good stuff.
this one was made in the PIs from what i can tell.
about perfect fit for my LW 20" with the short a1 style cav-arms stock/lower.
Thanks for the review. I have a Vortex Strikefire on my shorty and I am very impressed.
Clan MacPherson
the bad news is the $134 vortex diamond back sale is over their now all back to "retail price" now.

Important Information for Proposers
A revised version of the NSF Proposal & Award Policies & Procedures Guide (PAPPG) (NSF 17-1), is effective for proposals submitted, or due, on or after January 30, 2017. Please be advised that, depending on the specified due date, the guidelines contained in NSF 17-1 may apply to proposals submitted in response to this funding opportunity.
Louis Stokes Alliances for Minority Participation (LSAMP) program assists universities and colleges in their efforts to significantly increase the numbers of students matriculating into and successfully completing high quality degree programs in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) disciplines in order to diversify the STEM workforce. Particular emphasis is placed on transforming undergraduate STEM education through innovative, evidence-based recruitment and retention strategies, and relevant educational experiences in support of racial and ethnic groups historically underrepresented in STEM disciplines: African Americans, Hispanic Americans, American Indians, Alaska Natives, Native Hawaiians, and Native Pacific Islanders.
The LSAMP program provides funding to alliances that implement comprehensive, evidence-based, innovative, and sustained strategies that ultimately result in the graduation of well-prepared, highly-qualified students from underrepresented groups who pursue graduate studies or careers in STEM.
There are four alliance award types:
1. Alliances(Multi-institutional Partnerships): 5-year projects focused on undergraduate recruitment and retention activities.
2. Bridge to the Baccalaureate (B2B) Alliances (Alliances with a community college as lead institution): 3-year projects focused on activities that provide effective educational preparation of community college students for successful transfer to 4-year institutions in STEM.
3.Bridge to the Doctorate (BD) Activity: 2-year projects eligible only to existing alliances funded more than 10 consecutive years; these projects are focused on providing post-baccalaureate fellowship support to a cohort of 12 LSAMP students for the first two years of their STEM graduate studies and on providing the necessary academic and research skills that will enable them to successfully earn STEM doctoral degrees and transition into the professoriate and/or STEM workforce.
4.Pre-Alliance Planning Grants: Up to 18-month projects that undertake planning activities necessary to form new alliances or regional outreach and knowledge-diffusion centers of excellence.
In this solicitation, the acronym STEM stands for science, technology, engineering, and mathematics that includes biological sciences (except medicine and other clinical fields); physical sciences (including physics, chemistry, astronomy, and materials science); mathematical sciences (including statistics and data science); computer and information sciences; geosciences (including earth and ocean sciences); engineering; and technology areas associated with the preceding disciplines (for example, biotechnology, chemical technology, nanotechnology, engineering technology, information technology).
Important Notes on LSAMP Alliance Projects
The NSF LSAMP Program allows grantees to provide performance-based stipend support to undergraduate students. However, LSAMP is not a student financial aid scholarship program, and thus funds should NOT be used to award scholarships to students.
The LSAMP Program does NOT make awards directly to individual students to undertake their education or research activities. Students are encouraged to contact the respective institutions to inquire about whether there are LSAMP programs (including Bridge to the Doctorate) on their campuses.
All students receiving stipends/fellowships must be U.S. citizens, U.S. nationals, or permanent residents of the United States.
Institutional partners (including community colleges) in all LSAMP Alliances (including B2B) must be budgeted as sub-awardees unless designated as a lead institution in an alliance. Please contact a LSAMP Team member if your institution does not enter into subaward agreements.

BROWNS SUMMIT, N.C. - The University of North Carolina ninth-ranked women's golf team fired a 303 in the second round of the Bryan National Collegiate and is tied for eighth place with a 597 total. The Tar Heels were led on Saturday by junior Jackie Chang who fired an even par 72.
Chang is tied for 20th place with a 4-over-par 148 total. The Scottsdale, Ariz., native carded two birdies and two bogeys for her even par score. Sophomore Maia Schechter, from Takoma Park, Md., is also tied for 20th at 148. Schechter fired a 2-over 74 in the second round, competing as an individual, so her score cannot count towards the team total. Junior Katherine Perry and freshman Elizabeth Mallett are tied for 27th place at 5-over 149. Perry, from Cary, N.C., fired a 3-over 75 on Saturday while Mallett, from Sutton Coldfield, England, shot a 4-over 76. Casey Grice, a junior from College Station, Texas, is tied for 43rd place with a 7-over 151 total after shooting an 80 in the second round. Senior Courtney Gunter, from Matthews, N.C., struggled with an 85 on Saturday for a 161 total and sits in 84th place.
Virginia leads the 17-team field at 2-under-par 574 after shooting a 5-over 293 in the second round. Arkansas is nine strokes back in second place at 7-over 583 after firing a 1-over 289 on Saturday. Vanderbilt is in third place at 10-over 586 while Georgia and Auburn are tied for fourth at 595. Wake Forest and Florida are tied for sixth place with 596 totals while three teams are tied for eighth at 597 - Carolina, NC State and South Carolina.
Brittany Altomore of Virginia grabbed the individual lead at 4-under-par 140 after firing a 2-under 70 in the second round. Georgia's Emilie Burger also shot a 2-under 70 and is two strokes back in second place at 2-under 142. Elizabeth Brightwell of Virginia and Gabriela Lopez of Arkansas are tied for third place at 1-under 143 while four players are tied for fifth at even par 144 - Auburn's Marta Sanz, South Carolina's Sarah Schmelzel, Vanderbilt's Sobolewski and Arkansas' Emily Tubert.
The final round of the 54-hole event will be played Sunday at the Bryan Park Champions Course, which features a par 72, 6,386-yard layout. There will be an 8:30 shotgun start. Live scoring is available on GoHeels.com.

Lyn Richards receives her award
8 April 2011
Baroness Randerson celebrates Women Making a Difference
Baroness of Roath Park, Jenny Randerson was the special guest at an inspiration award ceremony last Thursday.
The ceremony was a celebration of achievements by students on the Women Making a Difference programme organised in partnership with Continuing & Professional Education and the Welsh Assembly.
The programme offers a range of courses that aim to give women the confidence and skills to be able to take an active role at every level in their communities and in public life. This could be in politics, business, civil service or community leadership. What's more, it benefits women who would otherwise not have a public voice or benefit from Higher Education.
Jenny Randerson presented the well-deserving women with awards in Engendering Change, Women into Public Life, Women into Management and Active Citizens Training.
Lyn Richards, a student on the programme that received an award said: "One of the most interesting and important things about the course was meeting the other women. Women in their twenties to their sixties take part and it is all very enjoyable because these women are from different backgrounds and cultures.
"The Women into Management course encourages a feeling of self-worth and achievement. I feel it has developed my potential. It has been so enjoyable and has covered such varied and interesting topics, there is something for everyone, regardless of age or culture. Overall I have gained academic achievement, fulfilment, inspiration, motivation and social involvement. I would like to continue my studies."
The ceremony also included speeches from different women, including: Contsance Nzeneu from Women Seeking Sanctuary Advocacy Group, Gill Webber from Wellbeing Regeneration, Annette Monks from BAWSO and the Baroness herself. Each spoke inspiringly about their challenges and rewarding experiences of their roles in public life.
The ceremony took place in the Reardon Smith lecture theatre in the National Museum Wales.
You can find out more about these courses here.
