The Canisius softball team saw its six-game winning streak come to an end on Friday with a pair of losses on the first day of the Lady Pirate Classic at Hampton University in Hampton, Va. The Golden Griffins lost their first game to Delaware by a score of 10-0 in five innings and then fell in the nightcap by a 6-1 count to Central Connecticut State. The Blue and Gold is now 7-3 on the year.
In the game one loss to the Blue Hens (11-3), Delaware jumped out to an early 2-0 lead in the top of the first inning and then broke the game open with a six-run third. Delaware added two more runs in the fourth frame to earn the five-inning run-rule victory. The Blue Hens pounded out 11 hits while holding Canisius to just three base knocks. Sophomore Robin Kennery, senior Stephanie Pfentner and freshman Tori Nappo all had base hits for Canisius in the losing effort. Canisius pitcher Amanda Baun took the loss in the circle after she allowed 10 runs, seven earned, on 11 hits while walking one. She is now 3-1 on the year.
In the second game of the day, Central Connecticut State scored three runs in the top of the first and added two more runs in the top of the third frame en route to a 6-1 victory. The Griffs managed just four hits in the game two loss, with freshman Meghan Cuda going 2-for-3 with a double and a run scored. Freshman Alexis Roman added a base hit to the Griffs' cause, as did junior pitcher Jen Consaul. Consaul took the loss in the circle after she allowed six runs on 13 hits to go with two strikeouts and three walks.
The Griffs will close out their weekend stay at the Lady Pirate Classic on Saturday when the team takes on Maryland Eastern Shore and the host Hampton squad. Game one is set to start at 2 p.m.

SPRINGFIELD, Ohio - When the Hon. William A. McClain '34 received Wittenberg's Medal of Honor during the university's 2013 Honors Convocation, the Wittenberg community paused to celebrate a career that spanned more than six decades. Following his death on Feb. 4, the community now pauses to celebrate the life of one of its most accomplished alumni.
"We are deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Judge McClain," said President Laurie M. Joyner. "Throughout his life, he inspired generations of colleagues, students, peers, friends and acquaintances to use their own lives to make a difference. His willingness to go beyond the ordinary, to encourage, to break new ground, and to motivate touched countless individuals, as did his desire to serve humanity and to step up when called upon to do so. His light will be missed at Wittenberg."
McClain blazed a trail for the African American community. In 1951, he became the first African American member of the Cincinnati Bar Association after being denied membership twice. He then became the first African American attorney to serve as city solicitor of a major American city, serving the citizens of Cincinnati from 1963-72. McClain later became the first African American judge of the Hamilton County Common Pleas Court.
In addition to the Wittenberg Medal of Honor, the university's highest non-academic award, McClain also received the Ellis Island Medal of Honor. He was inducted into the Ohio Foundation of Independent Colleges' Hall of Excellence, and earned the International Municipal Lawyers Association Charles S. Rhyne Lifetime Achievement in Municipal Law Award. McClain also received an Army Commendation Award for distinguished service as a first lieutenant with the Judge Advocate General.
In 2004, Wittenberg dedicated the William A. McClain Culture House in his honor. It was re-dedicated in 2012 as the William A. McClain Center for Diversity, housing the offices of the American International Association, Concerned Black Students and the Gay/Straight Alliance. McClain called the dedication a "crowning moment" in his life.
Born on Jan. 11, 1913 in Sanford, N.C., and a 1930 graduate of Springfield High School, McClain was the only African American student in Wittenberg's class of 1934. He was the first African American to win the state and national Intercollegiate Oratorical Associations' contests. Following graduation, McClain went on to earn his law degree from the University of Michigan.
Visitation is from 3 p.m.-6:30 p.m., Wednesday, Feb. 12, and from 10 a.m.-11 a.m. Thursday, Feb. 13, at the Allen Temple AME Church, 7030 Reading Road, Cincinnati, Ohio 45237. The funeral will then take place at 11 a.m. on Thursday at the same location. Arrangements are being handled by Hall and Jordan Funeral Home.

Tommy Sandoval Tharasher cover story....So I was driving to the HQ in downtown SD (proper!) and these skate type dude were all gathered up across the street at Farmers Market gap. I pulled up and said, "Hey you kids, you can't be doing that there. No skateboarding here." Mike "The Burn" Burnett from Thrasher was the ring leader on hand. He looked over at me and said, "Nothing of your interest here old man. Move along." Ha. That Burn is too funny. I went and sat on the HQ front steps and had my lunch while I watched Tommy do his attempts on this FS-flip.
Around the same time I was talking to Barker and he told me a story that Tommy used to come and talk to former F TM, Josh Beagle, to try and get on the team. Josh was all let's see your footy Tommy and Tommy said something to the effect of that he doesn't need the footy and he took Beags over to this gap and shredded it live for him. I guess Beags was not impressed.
Stoked to see this cover of Tommy come out. That spot is directly across the street from the F HQ. And I watched them shoot it. And now here it is. Kick ass Tommy. Sorry Beagle dissed you.
WTF! Summer 2011!

Interesting question because when he was first hired he did lay out pretty lofty expectations in terms of how much more disciplined the team would be on and off the field, how ASU will put on a product that the fans would be proud about, and how much effort he and his players will put in promoting the program.
By and large, those specific expectations have been met, but I guess if someone thought it was just "coach speak" and now realizes that Graham has delivered on what he said he would do, you could say he exceeded expectations.
In terms of the record in Graham's first year, I believe most fans expected a season where ASU would win around six games, so even though the season is quite over yet, you could say that those expectations have been met.
Overall, I think that the vast majority of ASU fans have been happy with Graham and can see that he's laying a foundation that can be the cornerstone for a very successful program in the future.
2. Taylor Kelly has taken some criticism from ASU fans as of late, but his stats show a very solid season. Why has he taken criticism and how has he played as of late?
It goes without saying that when a team struggles the quarterback always takes most of the blame (sometimes unfairly) and during a four-game losing streak Kelly obviously was heavily scrutinized.
Granted, he didn't play well in that stretch and at times exhibited highly questionable decision making and his lack of arm strength really got exposed against a higher caliber of defense.
Something I have been mentioning a lot this season was the poor performance by the wide receivers. Again, it's something that comes back to the quality of opponent. Those four losses I mentioned all came at the hands of teams who were in the Top 25 at the time and the wide receiver group, which is inexperienced and talent challenged as it is, was beyond overwhelmed during that stretch.
Therefore, they provided little to no support in the passing game and Kelly, let alone the entire offense, was consequently affected quite a bit.
Kelly's last game may have been his best so far this season as he completed a school record 18 straight passes, which means that his wide receivers decided to show up for a change. He was 20-23 for 276 yards and four touchdowns in that contest, so whatever confidence he may have lost during the losing streak, he did regain last week.
3. Why has Graham not found one running back to focus on rather than giving carries to three different players?
With all the emphasis that Graham places on the running game, as well as the high pace that the offense operates at, I doubt if one proverbial "work horse" would really be the way to go.
It has become quite evident that Marion Grice and D.J. Foster are more compatible for this offense than returning starter Cameron Marshall, but the staff ensures that the senior still gets his own fair share of touches every game let alone starts every week.
Both Grice and Foster have been so effective this year that you can't justify giving one back a significant number of additional carries over the other.
4. Has Graham talked about his relationship with Rodriguez and what is the vibe with ASU media about that relationship?
I think it's no secret at this point that the relationship between the two is anything but pristine, and that each of them will have their own motivation to win Friday's game. However, Graham has already downplayed this aspect and said that the rivalry game itself is much bigger than any relationship he has with Rodriguez and Graham is obviously not hinting at anything that would imply an extra incentive, etc. he has to win this game.
Thus the media won't hear anything on record about this topic, but again it's more than understood that the history the two coaches have had over the years was rockier than it was smooth.
5. How has Graham recruited this class and is the feeling that he has or has not met the future needs of the team?
There are mixed feelings about the class so far. Being that this is first-year staff, it would be way too harsh to complain about a class that the week of Thanksgiving is ranked sixth in the Pac-12 and 36th overall.
Graham made a statement landing one of the best in-state prospects in linebacker Chans Cox, an Elite 11 quarterback in Josh Dobbs, quality linebackers such as Alani Latu and Viliami Latu and a very promising tight end in Jason Reese.
There is definite need for offensive and defensive linemen in this class and currently ASU only has one commit from each position, so that is something that will have to change between now and signing day.
Cox's commit aside, I don't know if you could say that ASU has generally done well with the other quality in-state prospects from the valley. Additionally, while there is no denying that ASU has recruited very well in Texas and is even able to snag players from the Southeast, it is surprising that so far it has less than a handful of commits from Southern California, which has always been a hotbed for ASU recruits. Those are some of the aspects that will ultimately determine how this class will be judged.
6. ASU's defense has been solid this season. What is the biggest reason for this?
The new culture that Graham implemented, with increased emphasis on discipline and accountability, has probably paid the biggest dividends on defense.
Ironically this group is playing more aggressively than recent Sun Devil defenses, but with the guidance of the staff, they have found the right balance between playing hard and playing smart. In other words, penalties and missed assignment have decreased quite a bit from last season.
The 3-4 scheme they run has been tailor made for Will Sutton, who is having an incredible year on the defensive line. Carl Bradford, who plays a hybrid defensive end/linebacker, is another player that has been flourishing in this scheme. Having linebacker Brandon Magee back as the leader of the defense is beyond invaluable. JC transfer and fellow linebacker Chris Young is one the best players that came in as part of the 2012 recruiting class.
Overall a strong front seven has allowed the secondary to elevate its game, but again I'll bring it around to the staff that has helped players such as Keelan Johnson and Deveron Carr play up to their potential and improve leaps and bounds in their senior year.
7. What has been the biggest difference between ASU this year and last year?
As I mentioned, the new team culture of discipline and accountability. This atmosphere has just produced a business-like attitude by the players. They know that any extra circular activities on and off the field won't go unpunished, they know that they have to give maximum effort on every snap in every practice or game, regardless of whether it's a blowout or a nail biter.
Even though the 6-5 record can make one question if this new environment has benefited ASU or not, there is no doubt in my mind that we are witnessing a very positive and strong shift in how this team is handling itself and as a result I believe that an improvement in record will take place in the near future.
8. What are the keys to this game for Arizona State?
The Sun Devil defense will have to be exceptional in this game and has to control the line of scrimmage to shut down the running lanes and disrupt the potent passing game.
The ASU offense has to exploit a weak Arizona secondary, so the wide receivers have to build on a rare, but solid performance, from last week and help loosen up the Wildcats' front seven and allow its stable of talented running backs to go to work.
But maybe the biggest key is to stick to their even keel and disciplined approach and not let the emotion of the rivalry, especially on the road, get the best of them.

Urban Heat Islands and U.S. Temperature Trends
- Satellite nightlights – how bright a specific location is at night as observed from space.
- Impermeable surfaces (ISA) – what percent of the area is covered in concrete or similar materials.
- GRUMP – an urban boundary database using administrative borders and other factors (including nightlights) produced by Columbia University.
- Population growth – 1930 to 2000 population growth data interpolated to kilometer resolution using U.S. Census data.
We also used two different methods to compare urban and rural stations: a station pairing method, where we looked at all possible permutations of urban and rural stations within 100 miles (160 km) of each other for each urban proxy, and a spatial gridding method where we used a grid-based approach to calculate CONUS temperatures separately using only urban and rural stations and compared the results. For the station pairing method, we imposed additional restrictions that the pairs must both have the same instrument type, to avoid accidentally conflating bias due to urban-correlated differences in the frequency transition from liquid-in-glass thermometers to electric MMTS instruments with actual urban-related warming.
Finally, we examined six different versions of U.S. temperature data separately for both maximum and minimum temperatures:
- Raw station data with no adjustments
- Station data with only time-of-observation bias (TOBs) adjustments
- Station data with both TOBs and full PHA homogenization
- Station data with TOBs, full PHA homogenization, and GISTEMP satellite nightlight-based corrections
- Station data with both TOBs and rural-only PHA homogenization.
- Station data with both TOBs and urban-only PHA homogenization.
We created estimates of urban-rural differences for each of the four temperature proxies, two analysis methods, six temperature datasets, and maximum and minimum temperatures for a total of 96 different combinations.
As shown in Figure 2 from our paper, there are significant differences in the warming rate of urban and rural stations in the raw (and TOBs-adjusted) data that are largely eliminated by homogenization, even when that homogenization is limited to using only rural stations (to avoid the possibility of 'spreading' the urban signal).
This can also be seen in the figure below (from our paper's supplementary information), which shows urban-rural differences over the 1895-2010 period using the spatial gridding method:
We conclude that homogenization does a good job at removing urban-correlated biases subsequent to 1930. Prior to that date, there are significantly fewer stations available in the network with which to detect breakpoints or localized trend biases, and homogenization does less well (though the newly released USHCN version 2.5 does substantially better than version 2.0). In general, there might be a need for additional urban-specific adjustments like those performed in NASA's GISTEMP for areas and/or periods of time in which station density is sparse, but they are rather unnecessary for the post-1930s CONUS data. The simple take-away is that while UHI and other urban-correlated biases are real (and can have a big effect), current methods of detecting and correcting localized breakpoints are generally effective in removing that bias. Blog claims that UHI explains any substantial fraction of the recent warming in the US are just not supported by the data.

By Paul Abelson
Vehicle: eStar
Manufacturer/distributor: Navistar International Corp.
Class: 2e – 3
Payload: 4,000 pounds
Basic charging requirements: three-phase, 220 V, 32 amps
Manufacturer's suggested retail price: $149,900
Produced through Navistar's joint venture with Modec Limited of the United Kingdom — the Navistar-Modec EV Alliance LLC — the eStar is perfectly suited for meeting the versatility and stop-and-go driving requirements of virtually any public works application.
The basic truck has a 14-foot box van body. A 16-foot box is in the works with flatbeds and stake bed trucks, boom platforms, and shuttle bus body configurations coming next year. In addition to delivery, it can be configured as a mobile workshop, office, or command post. Its maximum 50 mph and 100-mile range limit it to urban use.
Power comes from a 70 kilowatt (kW; about 102 hp) electric motor producing 300 Newton-meters (about 220 pound-feet) of torque.
Unlike an internal combustion engine, an electric motor doesn't have to slip a clutch or fluid coupling to start. It produces maximum torque at zero rpm, which is how such a relatively low-horsepower vehicle can move so briskly. The eStar's motor is controlled for a flat torque curve to more than 2,000 rpm.
There's no clutch, just a simple PRND (park-reverse-neutral-drive) control. Because maximum torque is at low speed, a low gear isn't needed.
Like a diesel-electric hybrid, the regenerative braking system uses the motor to recharge the batteries when slowing in traffic. Regenerative braking slows a vehicle by reclaiming its kinetic energy. Service brakes bring it to a full stop. The eStar uses four-piston front discs and dual servo rear drums.
The suspension is fairly conventional for this vehicle class, with MacPherson struts and a sway bar up front. In the rear, longitudinal trailing arms and a lateral Panhard rod locate the drive axle, sprung by coils.
Charging the batteries using a basic 7 kW (220 V/32-amp) charger takes 8 to 12 hours, depending on daily service. In 2011, a 10-kW charger will shorten that to 6 to 8 hours. For severe service, or for two- or three-shift operations, the battery packs can be removed and replaced in 15 to 20 minutes. Just remove 12 bolts and three connectors.
But what's it like getting to and from a jobsite?
To find out, I drove an eStar from Navistar's facility in Melrose Park, Ill., to the editorial offices of PUBLIC WORKS near Chicago's O'Hare airport, an 8-mile trip. Along the way, I put the truck through its paces, simulating many of the conditions I'd encounter going to a jobsite, including accelerating in city traffic, braking, turning around, and some evasive maneuvering.
Two things were immediately evident: The truck is almost totally silent and visibility is outstanding.
The only noise from the electric motor is a slight whine, possibly from the gears. Vision through the huge curved windshield is remarkable, nearly 180 degrees. The windshield dips in front of the slanted dashboard so drivers see objects or children, always a concern in urban operations, within a few feet of the front bumper.
Entry is from a side door behind the cab, with walk-in access to the seats. Because of the low floor, loading and unloading are easier. Once belted in my seat, I set out to find some of the worst roads along the route (my apologies to any and all road engineers in the Chicagoland area). Ride quality was great on smooth pavement and, after slowing down, acceptable on the rough. The regenerative braking assisted the disc/drum service brakes for quick, sure stops.
Even with a row of parked cars on one side of the street a U-turn was surprisingly easy. I didn't even need to back up. I found a driveway opening, went slowly, and marveled at such a tight turning radius — 36 feet — on such a relatively large vehicle.
I tried a few evasive maneuvers on a four-lane arterial road. The battery pack sits low in the chassis between the rails, rather than on top, keeping the center of gravity low. It handled more like a pickup than a box van.
Power is more than adequate to keep up with traffic. Due to the low-speed torque characteristics of electric motors, I was even able to beat some cars away from stop lights.
Economics of ownership? You'll have to crunch the numbers.
The list price is high for a Class 3 truck, but you don't have to change oil and filters. Diesel bills will decrease, but remember — you'll have to pay for electricity. With zero tailpipe emissions, each eStar reduces greenhouse gas emissions by as much as 10 tons annually, potentially enabling your operation to qualify for incentives from foundations or government agencies.
Funding programs vary by date, state, and locale. Information can be found at the Clean Cities Coalition or the Green Truck Association (part of the National Truck Equipment Association) Web sites. Many incentives involve tax rebates that don't apply directly to government agencies but can be applied for by dealers and negotiated as a price reduction.
Add all that up over the truck's expected service life of 10 to 15 years or more and it may well be worth the extra investment. If it's close, consider driver satisfaction and safety.
The eStar is the first light-duty commercial all-electric vehicle to receive both EPA and California Air Resources Board certification as a clean fuel fleet vehicle. It meets all Federal Motor Vehicles Safety Standards. So far, it's got no competition in its class.

Dattner Architects and Grimshaw Architects have teamed together with developers Phipps Houses and Jonathan Rose Cos. to produce this 222-unit, LEED Gold affordable housing community. This lush housing arose out of a competition co-produced by the AIA's New York Chapter and the New York City Department of Housing Preservation and Development to fill a city-owned, 60,000-square-foot former brownfield lot along an abandoned rail line. The L-shaped building comprises stepped housing typologies—townhouses, mid-rise duplexes, and tower apartments—that encircle a shared central garden, which, combined with habitable green roofs, contributes to a total of 40,000 square feet of open space for the residents. On the north side of the building, a public plaza will host twice-weekly farmers markets. The south side of the complex is lined with roof gardens within which residents can grow fruits and vegetables, allowing a connection to nature even within Via Verde's urban setting.

20 Rhodes Ranch Pkwy, Las Vegas, NV, 89148
Location: Southwest
Type: Golf
(702) 740-4114
Rhodes Ranch is a Ted Robinson design, home to tough, intriguing par-threes and numerous water features.
Robinson says the par-threes are the best combination he's ever designed, highlighted by the third hole that plays over water to a green backdropped by palm trees.
Hundreds of additional palm trees accent the course, tucked in the shadows of the Spring Mountain range. Rhodes Ranch is a true must play in the Las Vegas valley.

Posted this over on the BHG as well but figured this place gets more traffic anyway.:jodo
ok now that I have told the wife who was surprisingly ok with this. I am going to be building Jodo Kast before CV..........
now a couple questions to throw out there are on the lineup of supplies.
1: Helmet- going with a Mystery or FP bucket.... exactly how much will I need to throw into it as far as work?
2: Gauntlets and Jet pack- going to be MOW.... are they worth it? the pics I have seen lead me to believe so.
3: boots/shoes- I wear a 13 US size, should I build these or buy them? if I build does anyone have info on sources for the base shoe and so on?? same question if I buy them please PM me with info..
4: gloves- I know Parade gloves are recommended but I found multiple types on line.
I factored in the cost to be around $1,500 give or take (anticipating give) but I am going to slowly be doing this over time. I also will need to get my Flight suit custom made because I am too tall for anything off the rack.
hoping to share progress on this during the build, but wont be till a couple months (Feb) that I will have money together to make the first purchase for this.


text: I've decided to tackle the HIC, but after a lot of researching on this forum as well as some other websites I can't seem to find many vendors. I'm sure I'm not the only one with this question, but is there a list of vendors somewhere? If anyone can suggest a vendor that sells a completed HIC that would be awesome. Maybe additional details such as accuracy and such. The only vendor I know of thus far that does a complete HIC is MonCal. Any other input or advice would be great. Thanks much!

Do you prefer to make decisions based on an abundance of good data or on incomplete information and your gut? While some may go for the latter, most people in the ready-mix industry want quality data on which to base their decisions.
The problem with most multiplant ready-mixed concrete enterprises, though, is that they are blessed with an abundance of data, but that data is often incompatible or inconsistent. Different plants use different batch control systems, and the data is collected at random times, providing company management with an incomplete, outdated, and opaque picture of their overall operation. Imagine what could be accomplished with consistent, complete, real-time information on every batch in a far-flung ready-mix operation. Now that is possible with an innovative solution from iCrete.
Today's construction industry is striving to rapidly adopt every bit of technology that will provide an advantage in what has become a brutal market for materials and services. In ready-mix production, almost every competitive plant around the world has an automated batching system. Producers that have multiple plants, though, often find their operations have a variety of batching control systems.
"As the business has grown through consolidation, the big guys have bought the little guys, and the little guys were made of even smaller little guys," says Stewart Cameron, concrete operations manager for Heidelberg in western Europe which has more than 1450 ready-mix plants worldwide.
The result is plants that may operate efficiently but provide no simple way to understand the entire operation or monitor operations at individual plants. "Globally, we operate about 45 different major control systems," says Cameron. "Trying to do data capture on all of those systems in the same manner is a very tall order."
The problem exists even for somewhat smaller operations. Titan America operates about 90 plants in the eastern U.S. "The ready-mix operations run as local businesses and are broken into eight or nine discrete areas, each with its own profit-responsible manager with plants and the trucks that support the business," says Graham Fox, vice president of information systems for Titan. "The batching systems are a mixed bunch, but mainly from Command Alkon, and they run quite effectively. But we still have difficulty when we try to pull together all those localized businesses to look at them from a corporate perspective."
What's data good for?
The ready-mix business has very small margins and competition is increasingly fierce. "Managing the costs so we are making the product that is necessary for the customer and delivering it at minimum cost is absolutely critical to profitability," says Fox. "That means controlling every element, including the cost of the raw materials, and making sure that we're not wasting anything."
How would enterprise-wide data contribute to that objective? "The possibilities are endless," says Cameron. "Having real-time data would mean that we could remotely look at the performance of each plant. Concrete plants are notorious for performing perfectly for 10 years and then running poorly for a month. But a month of making bad concrete could cost you your business.
"So being able to remotely see how a plant performs is important: Does a door stick when it opens? Are you putting in a little bit too much cement because the scale is out of calibration? These little aspects can add up to big money."
Getting from here to there
When Cemex bought the London-based RMC Group in 2005, it took an aggressive approach, installing standard batch control systems, attempting to implement unified data collection on 150 ready-mix plants, and importing all of the data into SAP's enterprise resource planning (ERP) software. This effort is widely considered to have had mixed results at best.

AOLer Thomas Chau Talks Countdowns and Songs of Summer
May 17, 2012
As online music streaming services continue to grow and evolve and summertime tunes start to fill the air, we thought it would be a good time to sit down with Thomas Chau, programming and product director for AOL Radio, to help us pick some new music and also better understand what makes AOL Radio unique.
Announced last fall, AOL Radio's partnership with Slacker Radio combines Slacker's advanced technology with the acclaimed original programming of AOL Radio Music Directors and DJs. In a phrase - it's the best of both worlds. "Our 200+ stations are managed by our team of seasoned music professionals who have years of expertise in the genres that they manage," said Chau. The size of Slacker's library, which houses millions of tracks, and real time customization also make AOL Radio unique. "Our platform allows us to take the very latest listener song data that we read on a daily basis, and see right away how users are responding to music. We then make adjustments to our stations depending on how people are reacting. Are users listening to the song in full? Or are users skipping right away to the next song? Are they favoriting the song, or are they banning it? These factors - along with our own instincts and tastes - help make our curated stations the very best they can be."
AOL Radio's "New Music" stations (like New Pop First and New Hip-Hop First), introduce listeners to the next big thing and features new artists and songs even before they're available for sale or played on competitors' stations. To fit all audiences, AOL Radio also comes in three flavors: Free, Ad Free and a full on-demand music service (launching in June) available on web and mobile.
When discussing AOL Radio's latest offerings, new countdown stations, Chau becomes sentimental. "I remember watching MTV as a kid and sitting through wacky video countdowns, or listening to countdown shows on my local radio. Similar to how blogs create Top 10 lists or photo galleries on a regular basis, AOL Radio is bringing back the radio countdown but in a 2.0 way... A good countdown takes you on a nostalgic journey, so to speak, from beginning to end and that's what we hope to accomplish with these countdown stations this summer."
How will these countdowns differ from those of Chau's youth? First off, "listeners don't need to sit through the whole thing at once. They listen to however long they want and return at a later date/time and it will start back where they left off. They also don't need to start listening at a specific time. The stations are there for them on-demand to start or stop whenever they like."
Already, the Top 50 Boy Band Songs station has received overwhelming fan support on Twitter, "They're chatting about what they're hearing and talking about songs they had forgotten about, something we don't see happen with our regular stations." This is not the first time that the social media product has helped connect AOL Radio with its listeners. "A few years ago when Twitter was growing and relatively new, I decided to do a Twitter Request Day to help grow our social media presence. We told our listeners that on a certain day, we would play any song that was requested to us on Twitter. The more votes a certain song got, the more often we would play it. And so during the course of 24 hours, we saw record labels, artists and die-hard fans rallying to get their songs as many votes as possible. Artists like Justin Bieber, Natasha Bedingfield and David Cook tweeted to their fans to get their songs requested. We saw tens of thousands of requests during that day and within the first few hours, we saw that #AOLRadioRequest was a trending topic, according to a third party tracking service." Chau cites this accomplishment as one of his proudest moments.
Chau personally programs the pop and dance stations and manages various other aspects of the product, such as customer feedback, product development, product troubleshooting and social media outreach. Outside of work, he listens to even more music, plays video games, explores new restaurants and is "also searching for the best lobster roll in New York City."
And new music? Chau also offers his predictions for summer's big music tracks which include, "Usher 'Scream' and Calvin Harris & Ne-Yo's 'Let's Go.' There are some new artists with debut singles that I expect to be big hits, including Rita Ora's 'Party,' Cher Lloyd's 'Want U Back' and Sammy Adams' 'Only One.'" To hear all of these tracks visit the Fresh 40 station and to learn more about AOL Radio, read a product review here. Also make sure to check out the newest AOL Music Sessions featuring hit boy band, The Wanted.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
GPS & Computer
Stupid question but... is an "IPAQ" the same as a Palm Pilot? I''ve got one of those lying around and by TT''s acct, it may finally be put to a better use than just an electronic datebook.
|Tequiza Terri
GPS & Computer
Forget the laptop.... I just purchased a GPS Navman sleeve for my handheld pocket PC. Years ago I purchased a 3635 IPAQ by Compaq. It is basically is a PALM hand held computer but it has a Microsoft operating system called windows CE. I syncs with my desktop and it can download files. I originally paid $300, today the units are much more expensive but you cab get Wireless 802.10 internet, bluetooth & GPS built in.
The beauty of the handheld is that you can download charts right from your computer, the same charts that you buy at the marina boat store. For only $19.95 you can go to MAPTECH.com and download their OUTDOOR NAVIGATOR Hand heldPC software and you can have access to all the digitized NOAA CHARTS, simply click and download them to your desktop and then transfer to the handheld. The charts are usually no more than 40K in size and most hand held PC''s will accomodate a Compact Flash expanded memory card to store the maps if they are too large for the hard drive. In fact GARMIN makes a handheld computer with built in GPS for about $500. I personally would get one of the new IPAQ with built in GPS. You can also go to EBAY and get a used IPAQ 3800 for $100 then buy a $50 GPS compact flash from Pharoh or the GPS sleeve with Compact Flash expansion slot to store your charts, that I bought from NAVMAN for $150. Really for $250 you can have GPS, access to all your charts, and a built in chart plotter!
I love my Hand Held IPAQ and I recently used it on a trip from Savannah to Florida! I didn''t even look at a paper chart!
Here are some websites to check out;
http://www.pdasmart.com (these guys shipped me a new battery overnight 2 days before xams... they were great!!!!)
Ebay cruuently has no used IPAQ HH PC''s.
I hope this helps! It made sense for me since I had an old IPAQ lying around!
GPS & Computer
Roger, it may stall your product choice a little longer but I''d recommend you read the thread posted on the SSCA''s BB:
I think there are clearly better options than the Tablet PC mentioned, when you consider the task of adding incremental add-on peripherals while wondering if your unique needs as a boater are going to be accommdated by the unique product design intended for other applications.
In the above thread, there are references to PC products that have no fans nor hard drives running, and also to products designed specifically for long-term use on boats, offering little current draw and the cost and replacement-of-peripherals benefits of a desk top. Lots of choices, it would seem, requiring a clear eye on what your needs are when using a PC aboard your boat.
I doubt I will ever again buy a laptop as my primary onboard PC tool, altho'' I''ll probably always have an old laptop aboard since it''s both portable and provides redundancy.
GPS & Computer
Ok, both good points. That''s why I threw the idea out with the point that I didn''t know how it would adapt to the boating environment. Guess we leave it up to someone else for a better solution....
GPS & Computer
And where would said compressor get salt free air to compress on a boat anyway?
C-42 #76 Lady Kay
Chesapeake/Fort Lauderdale
GPS & Computer
Now you have REALLY done it!!! One more gizmo to consider!! I''ve spent the last 6 months researching GPS/Chartplotters. I finally made my decision and was about to make my purchase and you show up.
Actually, the tablet pc sounds GREAT. If it runs a wide array of nav software and can interface with a gps, it will be perfect for my uses.
Do you know which navigational software it runs? Can a remote gps antenna be utilized? What about interfacing a depth sounder? etc. etc.
Tell us more!!!
GPS & Computer
Whoa !!!!!!
Be wary of blowing compressed air into a computer or other electronic device. Plant compressed air in a chemical plant usually is further routinely conditioned by removal of water (vapor, mists and aerosols) by the usage of either a refrigeration desiccant air dryer to obtain reduced ''dew point'' / humidity content. Otherwise, compressed air is saturated with water vapor and the moisture will/can condense on those surfaces that have a themal difference.
If the compressor is a ''flooded (oil) screw'' compressor and does not include oil mist and vapor removal equipment, you also risk also coating the internals of your computer, etc. with oil !!!
GPS & Computer
RE: Clean air circulation for computer
I work as an IT professional. Years ago, I was employed for a local computer company. We had one firm who had many systems in a chemical plant, where there were lots of corrosive things in the air. We devised a rather simple, but very effective system. It extended life on the systems from a few months to several years.
I''m not sure if/how this could be retrofitted to a boat environment, but here''s the basics:
Get one of the air-compressor quick couplers, and drill a hole in the side of the case then mount this. Connect an air source (in our case, one of the plant air compressors). We then reversed all the fans, so they blow OUT of the system, instead of sucking into it. This provides a positive clean air flow into the case, so it doesn''t breathe the outside air.
Like I said, I''m not sure if/how this could be fitted into a boating environment, but maybe some crafty sailor out there can come up with something.
And on the note of Dell computers, they do seem to have their own (or maybe more than normal) share of manufacture/configuration products, but once you get a good unit, they stand up very well. We have a fleet of about 30 laptops, and over 300 desktops in our company, and have great success. Of course, they come in the door and immediately receive our standard ''image'' of installation, so no config problems for us.
Happy sailing
GPS & Computer
How about a tablet pc like the Xplore IX104. It runs tablet windows xp so you should be able to use software like Maptech Ocean Navigator and use standard BSB charts. You can get a plug in usb GPS unit (like the earthmate) so you can keep your Garmin as a backup. The display on this unit is daylight readable (unlike most laptops)and the best part of the IX104 is it is submergable. I use an IPaq with a Navman sleeve right now in my cockpit which I am very satisfied with, but should it break I''ll replace it with something like the Xplore unit.
GPS & Computer
I''ll second the sentiment on the Panasonic Toughbook. Got mine on a closeout a few years ago. The only caveat is that they have some sort of draw against their battery even when turned off. Have to recharge mine about every other week.
Also, I was able to get a 12V adapter for mine, so I don''t need to run an inverter to power the unit off boat power. A side benefit is being able to run mapping software in my car on road trips.
Another advantage over a chart plotter is having an honest to gosh Intel based PC that you can run software on. Handy for email and such...

text: My name is Jordan, I just got stationed here at Ft. Hood. I am pretty new to duck hunting (this will be my 3rd season). After reading through different posts I have found that many hunters on here are very hush hush about their hunting spots, which is very understandable, so let me start out by saying that I am not looking for people to share their secrets for the world to see. I am more just looking for advice on techniques that work for the area (Ft. Hood/Killeen). Maybe also a point in the general direction of where I can start scouting. And if anyone is willing to let someone tag along on a hunt here and there I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks for taking the time to read my post and I look forward to the responses.

Hey everyone,
I have been batting around the idea of entering a calling contest just to see how I would do. My question for yall is if I will be docked points for doing a cut feed instead of a rolling feed call. I have never been able to do the rolling feed no matter how hard I try or how much I practice. I am a pretty good caller as I took over calling while hunting at least 7 or 8 years ago, and I practice constantly. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Set your velocity adjustment screw to the middle for now. It doesn't really matter as long as you can make fine tune adjustments on the field. Now Turn your regulator down untill the marker can longer re-cock. It will make this noise( BRRRRRRRPPPPP). When it does you don't let it run your tank dry. Simply re cock the marker while its in motion, but be sure NOT to pull the pin.
At this point if your gun will shoot like it has a limp... well you get the picture, so a chrono is need just yet. Turn up the reg 1/2 turn and shoot 3-6 times between increasing. Your Ball parking so once your up time to move on. If you would like to monitor each interval I encourage it as I like to not over shoot on this step
Increase reg 1/4 turn increments. While checking velocity shoot 3-6 times. Once your within 20fps of your target FPS of 280 decrease turns and shoot more. EX: 1/8 turns 5-10 shots untill you at your goal.

by Megan Morketter, GoHeels.com
North Carolina has an all-time high of 17 former Tar Heels playing in the NBA this season, many of whom are playing key roles with a variety of teams. GoHeels.com will update Carolina fans on a weekly basis on how UNC alums have played in the last week.
Harrison Barnes, Golden State Warriors: The rookie forward was in the zone offensively as the Warriors took down the Atlanta Hawks, 115-93. Barnes totaled 19 points, shooting 3-of-4 from beyond the arc. Earlier last week, Barnes saw fewer minutes but still managed eight points and three rebounds against the Miami Heat.
Vince Carter, Dallas Mavericks: Carter played his most minutes yet this season (36) in the Mavericks' two-point loss to the Boston Celtics Dec. 12. He logged 10 points and a season-high, eight rebounds, seven of which came on the defensive end (also a season high in defensive rebounds).
Ed Davis, Toronto Raptors: Davis had a standout night Dec. 12 when the Raptors played the Brooklyn Nets. The forward matched his previous career record with 24 points and knocked down 11 field goals to set a new career high. Davis also pulled down 12 rebounds for his third double-double of the season.
Wayne Ellington, Memphis Grizzlies: Shooting 50 percent or better in his last two games, Ellington has provided solid bench points for his team. He scored 11 points in the close loss to the Denver Nuggets then added six more as the Grizzlies went on to defeat the Utah Jazz, 99-86.
Raymond Felton, New York Knicks: Felton continued to post high numbers as he led the Knicks to victory in all three of their games last week. Against the L.A. Lakers, the point guard put up 19 points along with eight assists and a steal. Felton notched 25 points and 7 assists in the one-point win over the Cleveland Cavilers.
Danny Green, San Antonio Spurs: The Spurs had a couple of tough losses last week, but ended on a high note. Green found his way to the basket for 12 points against the Jazz and recorded three steals, but the Spurs could not hold on, falling 99-96. Later in the week, the fourth-year guard/forward matched his previous 12 points and added four assists as the Spurs bested the Celtics, 103-88.
Tyler Hansbrough, Indiana Pacers: Hansbrough was fairly consistent on offense for the Pacers' last week. Most notably, the forward/center recorded 11 points and six rebounds when facing the Detroit Pistons. The Pacers won the contest, 88-77.
Brendan Haywood, Charlotte Bobcats: Struggling to find a rhythm, the Bobcats have lost their last 11 games. Haywood has been getting very few opportunities to score recently, but when he has, the center has been accurate. Haywood went 3-for-3 against the Lakers for six points and 2-for-3 for four points versus the Orlando Magic.
John Henson, Milwaukee Bucks: Henson still saw reduced playing time against the Sacramento Kings, recording only 2 minutes on the court. The rookie was unable to post any numbers during this time. In the following game, Henson managed two points, two blocks and five rebounds, but the Bucks fell to the L.A. Clippers, 111-85.
Antawn Jamison, L.A. Lakers: After a few solid weeks of play for Jamison, the veteran forward has slowed down. Over his last three games, Jamison amassed three points, three assists and 10 rebounds.
Ty Lawson, Denver Nuggets: Lawson had another impressive week, logging his second double-double of the season facing the Minnesota Timberwolves. The point guard scored 17 points and assisted on 11 field goals, but the Nuggets dropped, 108-105. Across his next two games, Lawson added 24 points and 12 assists.
Kendall Marshall, Bakersfield Jam: Marshall is showing improvement with the increased playing time he receives on the Jam. The rookie point guard had eight points, 11 assists and four rebounds in the Jam's first matchup with the Tulsa 66ers. The following night, Marshall put up 13 points and seven assists as the Jam fell to the 66ers, 114-98.
Jerry Stackhouse, Brooklyn Nets: In the Nets second matchup of the season with the Knicks, Stackhouse was shut down. He was unable to post any points and could only come away with one rebound.
Rasheed Wallace, New York Knicks: Wallace contributed solid bench points for the Knicks in both games last week. He recorded eight points against the Nets then repeated the performance versus the Lakers. Over the two games Wallace also grabbed eight rebounds and blocked two shots.
Marvin Williams, Utah Jazz: Williams' most notable performance from the previous week came when the Jazz took on the Phoenix Suns. The eighth-year forward scored 11 points and brought down five rebounds.
Brandan Wright, Dallas Mavericks: Wright had trouble on the defensive end of the court last week, but shot 100 percent from the field for 13 points facing the Raptors. The Mavericks dropped the contest, 95-74.
Tyler Zeller, Cleveland Cavaliers: Zeller has been a consistent performer for the Cavaliers, recently. In the one-point loss to the Lakers, the rookie put up eight points and six rebounds. In his previous two games, Zeller posted 14 points, six rebounds and two blocks.

Ah ha ! Perfect Finski ! :) (Thought there was thingy clapping?) Perhaps we are getting close ? OK.... Finski, if you were to add more insulation to that hive, top and extend down sides say 6"-12" (across glass horizontal), remove in 24 hours, what observation do you predict upon removal ? What does this tell about hive atmosphere ? Drew
.........Oh boy :) Now I'm all mixed up :) I'm thinking regular hive + transparent + outdoors , Finski - your hive ? p.s. and airtight :)
Finksi, Do you have a pic of that whole observation hive ?
I mistook your pic for one of a hive :) oops.. but no matter, it is what you said that was an important clue I think. If you refer back to my question, could you, seal your hive airtight, add insulation, and by this, force condensation to occur only @ level below cluster ?

Recovery After Liposuction: What to Expect
What is liposuction?
Liposuction is the surgical removal of body fat. Also called lipoplasty, body shaping, and body contouring, liposuction can remove excess fat tissue on many body areas. These include the abdomen, buttocks, back, face, neck, arms, breasts, hips and legs. Most often people seek liposuction for aesthetic reasons. However, in some cases, doctors use liposuction to treat medical conditions involving excess fat deposits, such as gynecomastia and lipoma.
Liposuction is one of the most common cosmetic surgical procedures in the world. It is also major surgery with significant risks and potential complications. You may have less invasive treatment options. Consider getting a second opinion about all of your treatment choices before having a liposuction.

It's a weird feeling.

New pictures reveal the gory reality of Japan's so called "scientific" whale hunt in the Southern Ocean. The pictures show in stark reality a slaughtered adult mink whale and its calf being hauled aboard a ship. The pictures were not taken by activists who are interested in protecting whales, but by officials of the Kevin Rudd government which then made them available for use throughout the world. The new Australian administration of Prime Minister Kevin Rudd is ready and willing to challenge Japanese policies regarding whales. A Japanese official in Tokyo said the pictures were "dangerous emotional propaganda that could cause serious damage to the relationship between our two countries." Hideki Moronuki, head of the whaling section of Japan's fishing, insisted, "the fleet is engaged in random sampling" of whales.
It is still unclear exactly what type of "scientific whaling" activities that Japan is doing. It is clear Japanese whaling ships are killing whales. If the truth generates "emotional" feelings, so be it.

Suicide is the tenth leading cause of death among all Americans and the third leading cause of death among young (15-24) Americans. In 2009 (the latest year for which we have national statistics), there were 100.8 suicides per day or one suicide every 14.3 minutes. The 2011 suicide rate in Alabama is 13.3 per 100,000, which is higher than the most recent U.S. rate of 12.0 per 100,000 (2009). In 2012, on World Suicide Prevention Day (September 10), Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius and former Department of Defense Secretary Robert Gates launched the 2012 National Strategy for Suicide Prevention, a report from the U.S. Surgeon General Regina Benjamin and the Action Alliance, detailing 13 goals and 60 objectives for suicides over the next 10 years.
The Obama Administration also announced a series of activities that will help prevent suicides, including awarding ADPH a Garrett Lee Smith Youth Suicide Prevention Grant for a three-year period funding suicide prevention programs for Alabama communities and a statewide media awareness campaign.
Fact #1 - The suicide rate (13.3) is much higher than the homicide rate (7.9), both in Alabama and in the U.S. as a whole.
Fact #2 - In Alabama, 82 youth suicides occurred in 2011, and more than 90% were males of all races.
Fact #3 - The suicide rate increases during hard economic times. The highest suicide rates ever recorded were during the Great Depression. During our current economic crisis, rates have increased an average of 0.51 deaths per 100,000 people a year. Without the increase in the rate, the total deaths from suicide each year in the United States would have been lower by about 1,500.
Fact #4 - The most common and most lethal method of suicide is by using firearms. The most recent U.S. data (2009) showed that 51% of suicides used firearms. During 2011 in Alabama 70% of suicides used guns. The use of a gun almost always guarantees a fatal outcome.

Cheerleader's remains found in west Texas
Snyder, Texas • Remains found in a remote West Texas location last month are those of a 13-year-old middle school cheerleader missing since December 2010, authorities announced Friday. The body was found about 20 miles northwest of the girl's hometown of Colorado City.
An unidentified person contacted authorities after finding the remains near Lake J.B. Thomas in Scurry County on March 16, more than two years after Hailey Darlene Dunn's mother reported her daughter missing.
The girl's disappearance and the cause of her death remain under investigation, Scurry County Sheriff Trey Wilson said at a news conference Friday. The Scurry County District Attorney's Office received written confirmation of the identity of the remains on Friday, he said.
Texas Rangers informed the girl's mother, Billie Jean Dunn, on Friday afternoon at her Austin home, said her attorney, John Young. Dunn will be driving to West Texas to arrange her daughter's funeral, he said.
Air Force secretary stepping down
Washington • Air Force Secretary Michael Donley is stepping down after five years in the job marked by scandals surrounding aircraft contracts, sexual assaults and the mishandling of war dead. He is credited for improving the service's handling of nuclear materials.
Donley will leave June 21 to return to private life.
He was serving as the Pentagon's director of administration in 2008 when then-Defense Secretary Robert Gates tapped him to take the Air Force post. Gates had fired the service's chief of staff and secretary amid an embarrassing series of nuclear-related errors.
Donley got the nuclear mission back on track and worked to resolve disputes that repeatedly stalled the refueling tanker contract. But he faced criticism over the loss of service members' body parts at the Dover Air Force Base mortuary.
Fargo students forgo help with flood prep
Fargo, N.D. • Hundreds of high school students pitched in Friday to place 100,000 sandbags around Fargo and help protect homes against Red River flooding.
The familiar sandbag party that kicked off what city officials call "tuck it in weekend" began in 2009 when residents fought the first of three straight major floods. Students placed 700,000 sandbags in less than two days during the last flood in 2011. Officials and residents hope not nearly as many are needed this year.
The students sandbagged 134 homes throughout the city Friday and headed back to school after lunch was served by grateful residents such as Glenda Bro. About 40 students, mostly from Fargo North, laughed and sang as they tossed sandbags outside the home where Bro and her husband, a Fargo physician, have lived for 32 years.
Bro said it was a relief to have the sandbagging help, which she called "organized and calm." The singing helped.
"That's kind of contagious," Bro said. "Fear is contagious, and so is a happy spirit."
Rare 1913 nickel fetches over $3.1M
Schaumburg, Ill. • A rare century-old U.S. nickel that was once mistakenly declared a fake has sold at auction for more than $3.1 million.
The 1913 Liberty Head nickel is one of only five known to exist. But it's the coin's back story that adds to its cachet: It was surreptitiously and illegally cast, discovered in a car wreck that killed its owner, declared a fake, forgotten in a closet for decades, then declared the real deal.
It was offered for sale by four Virginia siblings at a rare coin and currency auction in the Chicago suburb of Schaumburg on Thursday, and sold for well over the expected $2.5 million.
The winning bidders were two men from Lexington, Ky., and Panama City, Fla., who bought the coin in partnership.

A few hundred people have undergone cryopreservation procedures since 1962, having their bodies cooled to sub-zero temperatures, with the hope that one day they may be brought back to life using highly advanced technology. It's the kind of issue—along with assisted suicide, euthanasia and "do not resuscitate" orders—that would not have been considered decades ago but becomes a moral question today.
Honors Program students in the Contemporary Problems Seminar are considering the issues of death and mortality as issues of hide and seek—there are paradoxical dealings with the two responses of death: to hasten it or delay it as long as possible.
The 13 students will present their research at the Honors Colloquium on April 11 at 4 p.m. in Jones Hall, during Research Symposium. In the final course of the Honors Program, students select a contemporary problem that interests them, choose a professor to advise them, and then collaborate on research to present to the University of St. Thomas community.
Students Explore 4 Facets of Death and Mortality
Senior philosophy major Kelsey Boor said while death is not a new issue, "the way we treat it with technology and in our culture is different."
With the interdisciplinary nature of the Honors Program, the students come from a variety of majors, including science, social sciences and liberal arts, so the Contemporary Problems research examines the topic from multiple points of view:
Honors Students Direct the Research
The students made choices about how to pursue their research. Class readings included works by Leon Kass, a political philosopher, on whether there is a right to die; Hans Jonas, a philosopher and early pioneer in biomedical ethics, and Evangelium Vitae, a papal encyclical expressing the Catholic Church's position on the value and inviolability of human life.
"It differs from the other Honors courses, because the students are behind the steering wheel," Boor said. "It's a different kind of learning experience."
Students selected Father Dempsey Rosales-Acosta, assistant professor of theology, as the advisor for the project.
"As a priest, he has lots of experience helping people through their own experience of mortality," Boor said. "It's very sensitive and important, so having his experience helping us along has been very good."
Father Rosales-Acosta said the issues related to death, like assisted suicide, are heavy moral issues.
"People are afraid of suffering or afraid of being a burden to their family," he said. "Fifty years ago, to [consider assisted suicide] would be an abomination, but now it's become so common that some people claim it is a right."
Dying May Be the Most Important Thing You Do
While there are new situations today that affect moral theology because of recent technological advances, Father Rosales-Acosta said the Church is very clear: "Any kind of murder or any instance in which the human life is threatened is unacceptable."
Boor said at its most basic level, death is a huge matter that affects every person. She referred to a homily she once heard where the priest said: The most important thing you will do is die.
"From a Catholic perspective, the state of your soul at the moment of your death impacts you for eternity," she recounted. "Whether or not you hold that point of view, everyone knows that death is really important. Our project explores the different ways that people either address or try to sidestep the seriousness of human mortality."
Abstract: Hide and Seek:Our Paradoxical Dealings with Death and Mortality
In contemporary society, we encounter a bifurcated response to the issue of death and mortality. On the one hand, people seek to avoid death through extreme technological intervention. On the other hand, there are those who see death as a means to avoid the unbearable circumstances of their lives. Neither approach is correct. To see through the perplexing dichotomy in the modern response to death and mortality, a holistic approach is necessary. If we are to understand who man is and why he exists, we must take into account the biological, historical, legal, cultural, and philosophical components of this difficult issue. When we become fully mindful of man's nature and circumstances, it then becomes apparent that we should neither hide from nor seek out death. Instead, we ought to treat death as a natural part of the human experience, and not as its annihilation.

Fox's Chris Wallace: When Will Gov't Stop "Putting A Thumb On The Scale" For African Americans?
On Eve Of 50th Anniversary Of March On Washington, Wallace Wonders: "At What Point Do We Say, You're On Your Own?"
Blog ››› ››› TYLER HANSEN
Fox host Chris Wallace used a discussion on the 50-year anniversary of the March on Washington to ask whether the time has come for the government to stop "putting a thumb on the scale" for African Americans with affirmative action policies. Wallace's question ignores the continuing problem of economic inequality between whites and African Americans.
The August 25 edition of Fox News Sunday discussed racial progress since the 1963 March On Washington For Jobs And Freedom. During the segment, Wallace raised the issue of affirmative action and asked Fox contributor Kirsten Powers, "50 years after the March on Washington, one of the questions is how long - well, how much longer the government should give special treatment to minorities." After Powers noted that historically unemployment among African Americans has been higher than among white Americans, Wallace asked contributor Scott Brown, "At what point have we gone as far as the country, as the government, needs to go in putting a thumb on the scale, if you will? You know, it is 50 years after Martin Luther King's speech. Obviously there were hundreds of years of discrimination. But at what point do we, in effect, say, 'you're on your own?'"
As Powers noted, the March on Washington was about civil rights, but it was also about economic inequality. Today, white families tend to earn twice as much income as do African-American families, while African Americans experience double the unemployment rate. There's also a racial gap when it comes to wealth. According to the New York Times, "Many experts consider the wealth gap to be more pernicious than the income gap, as it perpetuates from generation to generation and has a powerful effect on economic security and mobility." CNN reported that as of 2010, white Americans were worth as much as 22 times more than African-Americans:
One of the greatest drivers of the wealth and income gaps is the lack of higher education, according to a report from the Institute on Assets and Social Policy at Brandeis University. The study found that "obtaining a college degree is vital to economic success and translates into substantially greater lifetime income and wealth." And in general, those with higher educational attainment are less likely to be unemployed.
Multiple studies have shown that banning affirmative action would result in lower enrollment rates among African Americans. One Princeton study declared, "Ending affirmative action would devastate most minority college enrollment."
Wallace mischaracterized affirmative action as "putting a thumb on the scale" in favor African Americans. In reality, it's about removing the thumb that was already there.

Bro it looks good but some things Id have you consider changing would be the red on the helmet isnt supposed to cover the whole visor area its more of an outline like the EFX captain helmet,
And maybe try to make the mohawk mold into the helmet more? Also the pauldron should be like an EP3 pauldron kinda like the sideshow 12" figures yours looks like an animated one, not sure if you were going for a real life interpretation of the cartoon one for your own collection, but these are things that jump out at me on the the CRL for the ARC shows, not sure about the stripe on the chest there wasnt one on the cartoon or the ARC capt figure
I think the animated Fordo helmet had the faceplate completely red. That may be the look he's going for.
In the Animated Series it was full but in one of the "realistic" illustrations of him it was a small stripe. I don't recall how he looks on the newer figure that just came out.
awesome armor
AWESOME costume! Thanks for posting the pictures of this! It is amazing the detail you have!

Gonzalo Slalom World Champion 2012
Congratulations to NorthSails team rider Gonzal Costa Hoevel (ARG-3) for winning the 2012 IFCA Slalom World Championship.
"...I am very happy to take the victory in Paros and to become a Slalom World Champion in '12!! Off course it was a very different event as we were racing with rules there, 2 boards 4 sails only, and less top guys...more a "mano a mano" race type.
My speed was very good on both the gusty offshore middle winds on the first days and on the onshore sweelly lighter of the last days. Both the 113 and 140 covered the range of winds perfectly, plus my 6.3 to 8.6 Warps did the work perfectly.
It gives me a shot of confidence for the following two events i will do the next two weekends: Austrian Nationals and Sylt PWA..."
Well done!

Summit Up 10-11-12: Livin' the dream in numerical order
October 10, 2012
Good morning and welcome to Summit Up, the world's only daily column that's striving to reach new heights in indoor heating.
In the morning our office is as frigid as a penguin's nose. And we're not even to the coldest winter months folks, the outlook for us is not looking so good. We really need to do something about it.
At the bare minimum, we're definitely going to need to invest in a nice pair of bum gloves (ya know, the ones without finger tips) to keep our writing instruments warm and functional, only a few steps above frost bitten would keep them in business.
Can you imagine how difficult it is to type when our fingers are frozen? If you can't, here's a little insight into our dilemma. When they're cold, they don't really move and they don't warm up either.
If that didn't get bad enough, we've decided to dub the Summit Up World Headquarters this winter as the Levi Strauss Ice Haus. "Levi Strauss" because those are the only pants we can afford, "Ice Haus" for obvious reasons, and a combination of the two because they rhyme.
We've tried to warm up the chilly chambers by utilizing space heaters, but in that regard too, we have encountered obstacles. On one particularly freezing morning (last Saturday to be precise) we had a space heater cranking and were really becoming quite giddy with happiness over this new found heat and then BAM out goes Brain Machine (otherwise known as computer) and printer. To make matters worse, it took us forever to find the breaker, thus delaying our work and allowing our fingers to become stiff with coldness once again.
Taking donations for insulation, surge protectors and space heaters. We out.

By Chris Harris
Arsène Wenger has revealed the names of some of the players who could feature in the Capital One Cup on Wednesday night.
The Arsenal manager has traditionally used the League Cup in its various guises to give game time to first-team fringe players while introducing a new generation of talent to the Emirates Stadium crowd.
The visit of Coventry City will follow the same trend as Wenger puts his faith in some of the Club's teenagers.
"Hector Bellerin, Serge Gnabry, Nico Yennaris and Craig Eastmond could be [involved]," Wenger told Arsenal Player. "All these players could have an opportunity to play. Ignasi Miquel will play. We will have a good mixture of experience and professional top-class players.
"We want to put out a talented side that has a good chance to win the game. We will give a chance to some players who have not played as many games recently. The players that did not play on Sunday [at Manchester City] will get a chance and it's a good opportunity for them to show they can do well."
