Arsène Wenger is delighted to have Tomas Rosicky back in full training because he is a player "who speeds things up".
The 32-year-old has not played this season after injuring his tendon while on international duty with the Czech Republic at Euro 2012 during the summer.
But Rosicky is now in contention for first-team football and could even feature in Wednesday night's game against Everton.
"He had surgery of the plantaris tendon, that is situated down at the Achilles," Wenger said. "It took him some time to recover. It was a similar injury to Scott Parker, and he is now back.
"I love Tomas Rosicky's game because he is a guy who speeds things up. When the ball gets to him, he has good acceleration power because he has quick short passes and combinations with other players.
"I am an admirer of his game and want to keep him with us. He can play in the position of Santi Cazorla, and he can play with Santi Cazorla as well."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

There were new presses of all stripes aplenty at K 2010, but the "wow" factor was supplied by automated work cells and integrated manufacturing systems performing multiple operations before, during, and after molding. Here's a selection of some of these eye-catching exhibits. For a more complete picture of the show news, see also our September K Preview. And upcoming articles will cover more show news in hot runners, robots, and controls.
As reported last month, Engel and KraussMaffei operated two of the most elaborate integrated cells at the show, making organic hybrid composites. They involved preheating, forming, and overmolding a woven-glass/nylon composite sheet. KM also compounded the long-glass overmolding compound on its IMC injection molding compounder. In Engel's case, the final product was laser trimmed outside the mold. In KM's cell, the robot took the net-shape part to a quality check station and then put it on
a conveyor. Engel's cell used two linear robots and a six-axis articulated robot. KM used a single LRX linear robot plus a simple moving arm to transfer the hot sheet in and out of the oven and from oven to mold.
Engel and KraussMaffei also both demonstrated machine systems for injecting and overmolding a thermoplastic substrate with two-component liquid thermoset PUR. In both cases, the PUR was applied as a thin, scratch-resistant varnish. Engel (engelglobal.com/na) combined its Clearmelt process with back-injecting a wood veneer insert. KM (kraussmaffei.com) combined its ColorForm process with two-component molding of a carrying case of ABS and TPU soft-touch material. The high-gloss PUR varnish was overmolded selectively onto the ABS substrate.
KM also demonstrated the latest version of its CoverForm system for overmolding an acrylic part with a liquid acrylate hard coating. The coating partially cures with heat in the mold; cure is completed in a UV tunnel after demolding. This year, KM added one more wrinkle: The coated parts were then placed by a robot into a compact vacuum metalizer standing beside the press. A chrome-finished truck mirror emerged from the metalizer in 80 sec. The PlastiCoater PVD metalizer holds up to four parts; it comes from Impact Coatings AB (impactcoatings.se) in Sweden.
Arburg (arburg.us) demonstrated insert molding, multi-component overmolding, in-mold magnetization, in-mold assembly, and post-mold robotic assembly in a cell producing a rotary encoder with a magnetic sensor. Ferrite-filled nylon material was first oriented and magnetized in the mold during injection. An Arburg Multilift V robot (arranged longitudinally along the machine axis) then transferred the magnetic disk to a second station on the ejector side while also inserting a sensor component into the second station on the nozzle side. Glass-filled PBT was injected to encapsulate the sensor and form the mounting plate for the magnetic disk with a post extending through the center hole in the disk. In this partial overmolding and in-mold assembly step, the incompatible nylon and PBT separated when cooled, so that the disk rotated freely on the mounting plate to which it was joined. At the same time, an MABS protective cap was molded in a third mold station. Finally, the robot removed the assembly and cap and assembled them together.
Wittmann Battenfeld (wittmann-group.com) incorporated two unusual downstream quality checks into its molding exhibits. One was an online thermography system from the South German Plastics Center, known as SKZ Wurzburg (www.skz.de). On each cycle, the robot presented five sides of the part to an infrared camera mounted on the robot beam. The software showed a color-coded PC screen display of the part's surface-temperature profile, as well as a comparison with a "good part" profile. (Precise temperature and temperature-difference values appeared when mousing over the image.) If the temperature profile varied, the SKZ software automatically adjusted the coolant valves on the mold. (Look for more on thermography in an upcoming issue.)
Wittmann Battenfeld also measured the surface profile (smoothness) of a part produced by the new Ball-Filled Mold (BF Mold) process. It uses a mold with a large heat-transfer chamber filled with steel balls to apply rapid mold heating and cooling in order to achieve highly cosmetic surfaces. After molding, the robot presented the part to a vision system using patented measurement technology from PCCL, the Polymer Competence Center Leoben in Austria (pccl.at). The software, engineered to mimic human visual perception, analyzes part surfaces for gloss variations, weld lines, sinks, and moisture streaks.
High-speed 100% QC monitoring of bottlecaps at 1800/min was demonstrated by Sumitomo (SHI) Demag (demag-usa.com). The company's El-Exis SP 300-2500 hybrid molded caps in 72 cavities and less than 2.5-sec cycle. The caps fed on a conveyor past three color cameras and strobe lights of an IMD Vista system from IMD Ltd. (IMD USA Corp. is in Venice, Fla.; imdvista.com). The system inspected the inside, outside, and top surfaces of the caps and automatically separated any rejects. It's said to be capable of inspecting 3000 caps/min.
Two process technologies that got a lot of play at K were in-mold labeling (IML) and multi-material/multi-shot molding. Engel and Sumitomo Demag upped the level of complexity by doing both at once—and Sumitomo used two different films in one part (see our September preview and last month's Starting Up section).
Since many of the elaborate workcell demonstrations employed six-axis articulated robots, it's worth noting that Engel showed full integration of a Staubli robot with its RC 200 press controller, while Arburg fully integrated a Kuka robot with its Selogica control interface.
Our September preview covered several new lines and models of machines introduced by Arburg, Engel, Haitian, Husky, Negri Bossi, Netstal, Sumitomo Demag, and Wittmann Battenfeld. These included electric, hydraulic, and hybrid presses. A brand-new series from Ferromatik Milacron (ferromatik.com) is all of these: Its F-Series will offer a choice of electric or hydraulic drive of clamp, injection, plastication, ejection, and carriage movement. This fully modular approach will gradually replace all its other lines (Elektra, K-Tec, and Vitesse) over the next two years. The line will span 50 to 650 metric tons (m.t.), but the first available will be 80, 160, and 350 tons, initially with only electric-driven toggle clamp and hydraulic carriage movement.
Few details were available before the show on Negri Bossi's (negribossi.com) new Vesta series of all-electric toggle presses (no hydraulics, not even on the ejector). This completely new design has new Siemens motors with high current/torque ratio, new control software, new fiber-optic controls and touchscreen, and belt drives (no gears) for very smooth movements. Regenerative electric drives recover energy during braking. Maximum injection speed is 230 mm/sec. Seven models span 88 to 475 tons.
When it comes to speed, Arburg is revisiting the concept of linear servo motors for super-fast injection—up to 2000 mm/sec, previously achievable only with a hydraulic accumulator. This direct-coupled motor achieves an acceleration rate of 8G, 12 times higher than a standard electric machine. The product of collaboration between Siemens and Arburg, the linear motor was shown on an electric Allrounder 370A with 50-m.t. clamp and 18-mm screw. Besides high speed, the linear motor has no moving parts and is therefore wear-free, according to Arburg. Even at high speeds, the motor remains controllable and "absolutely play-free" for maximum precision and reproducibility. The company also says this technology opens up previously impossible thin-wall applications down to 0.2 mm with flow-length/wall-thickness ratios of 200:1 to 300:1.
Linear electric drive for injection speed of 2000 mm/sec was first introduced on the Fanuc Supershot machine by Cincinnati Milacron (milacron.com) at NPE in 2000, but it was discontinued. The new, more powerful linear motor reportedly overcomes limitations of previous versions. However, it adds cost and Arburg regards it as a niche product for extremely thin-wall products.
(Note: Fanuc came out in 2009 with a 100-m.t. Roboshot S-2000i100BH, which has a new high-powered rotary servo motor capable of 3.6G acceleration and injection at 1000 mm/sec. It is directly coupled to the ball screw.)
As reported in October, Husky Injection Molding Systems (husky.ca) launched its first all-electric machines at K—the 180-m.t. H-PET AE system for low-volume molding of PET preforms, and the 100-m.t. H-MED AE system for cleanroom medical molding. Aimed at the custom preform market, the H-PET system is suitable for up to 32 cavities or around 12,000 preforms/hr.
Husky also unveiled an improved version of its High Performance Package (HPP) for the HyPET hybrid preform molding system. Compared with the first generation introduced at K 2007, HyPET HPP offers 5% faster cycles (that's 20% to 25% faster than a non-HPP system) and is 10% to 15% more energy efficienct than standard HyPET systems. A 400-ton press molded 9.9-g EcoBase preforms for 0.5L water bottles in 96 cavities in 5.2-sec, for a total of 66,000 preforms/hr.
Also new was a major upgrade to Husky's HyPET Recycled Flake (RF) system. First introduced as a prototype in 2009, designed to mold preforms from up to 50% recycled flake, it now can handle up to 100% post-consumer recycle (PCR) with "significantly reduced black specks and dramatically minimized failures during bottle blowing," according to Husky. Output is said to be the same as a standard HyPET system. The first system is in commercial production at a European beverage company. The current system is designed to handle washed and decontaminated flake, but Husky is working on a system using only washed flake, with decontamination occurring during preform molding.
Given the rising popularity of servo-pump hydraulic drives for energy savings approaching those of electric machines, Engel now offers its Ecodrive option on all its hydraulic machines. And Boy Machines (boymachines.com) upgraded its Boy 35 E (35 m.t.) with a new servo-pump drive (previously available on larger 55 E and 90 E models). This is said to reduce both noise and cycle times through faster response. Also new on the 35 E is a swiveling injector to allow faster cylinder and nozzle changes. And the 35 E footprint has been reduced 10% to 1.9 ft2. At the same time, Boy introduced the vertical-clamp Boy 35 E HV for parting-line injection and the vertical/vertical Boy 35 E VV for insert molding.
The star of Haitian's exhibit was its new Zhafir Mercury all-electric, tiebarless machine with two-stage, screw/plunger injection. This German-built machine (supplied here by Absolute Haitian, absolutehaitian.com) supports and guides the moving platen with linear bearings on the top and bottom of both side plates. It is said to provide 70% more mold area while being 30% slimmer than a comparable tiebar machine. The machine boasts a simplified toggle mechanism that needs no lubrication, energy recovery during braking, adjustable-height control panel for operator convenience, and injection acceleration of over 10G for speeds up to 500 mm/sec. Models of 55, 110, and 150 tons will be available this year. The first, unit, a 150-tonner, has been in trials since September at packaging molder SIM in France. It has run a two-cavity PP honey cup (750 ml) weighing 21 g with a 0.6-mm wall in 3.9 sec. Part-weight uniformity is said to be better than ±0.2%.
LSR molding is a new capability for the 6-ton tabletop Babyplast press from Rambaldi & Co. in Italy (sold here by Alba Enterprises, albaent.com). This hydraulic plunger unit has a 15-g shot capacity and and shutoff nozzle; it dispenses from cartridges. Up to five machines can be networked to a single PC.

Well, alot of you have read my post about my TAN PP suit.
I have recently dyed it and had quite abit of an adventure.
here goes:
This is the suit when I got it. Shocking, huh? Keep in mind I was assured a 100% color match.
This is after being washed with 3 boxes of RIT COLOR REMOVER (which turned it banana yellow) and then washed with bleach and then 3 more boxes of RIT Color Remover.
This is with 2 boxes of RIT PEARL GREY DYE and 30 minutes in the washing machine. I also threw in my spats and white gloves from Parade Store. They all came out great!
This gives you a better view of the color. Keep in mind that it is NOT weathered AT ALL...YET!
BOTTOM LINE - I was lucky!!!!
While I most likey would NOT give PP my business in the future, I am VERY happy with the results, and can't wait to finish and make my first appearance.
Thank you all for all of your patience and help.
You guys are the BEST!

Courts are government institutions that administer justice in criminal and civil matters. They're mediated by one or more judges, magistrates or justices who have been appointed or elected.
Courts rely on an adversarial system of justice, which is intended to resolve disputes with fair and impartial outcomes. Their primary purpose is to decide questions of law and determine facts. Attorneys for each side present arguments and introduce evidence to support their arguments.
In some court cases, the final judgment is handed down by a jury of citizens chosen through a selection process. In other cases, a judge makes the final ruling. Cases may be heard in criminal court, civil court, or appellate court.

Two years ago, a 71-year-old Indiana man impaled his hand on a branch after cutting down a dead crab apple tree, causing an infection that led University of Utah scientists to discover a new bacterium and solve a mystery about how bacteria came to live inside insects.
Because the new bacterial strain is easy to grow in the laboratory and is related to Sodalis, a genus of bacteria that lives symbiotically inside insects' guts, it may be possible to genetically alter the new bacteria so they can block disease transmission by insects like tsetse flies and prevent crop damage by insect-borne viruses.
"If we can genetically modify a bacterium that could be put back into insects, it could be used as a way to combat diseases transmitted by those insects," says Adam Clayton, a University of Utah Ph.D. student in biology and a first author of a study unveiling the new bacterium and its genome or "genetic blueprint."

So this is kind of side project in between other projects while I wait for some money to come in. I have alot of the stuff at home I need to start this build. I've been wanting to do this ever since dressing up as Boba as a kid. Now to get to work on an big kid version heh. Started with the helmet
then hardened it
then started laying in some bondo getting a good base layer going
I chopped the ears off after getting the shape I wanted and filled it in with some more bondo
I think I'm horrible at taking pictures cause the helmet actually closely resembles Boba's helmet in shape, but for some reason it looks more narrow in pics.

Strongsville teachers back in class
(Strongsville) - They're back!
Classes resumed Tuesday in the Strongsville City Schools with regular teachers for the first time since a teacher's strike began March 4..
Classes were cancelled Monday to allow the subs to gather their things and for the regular teachers to move back in.
(Photo by Colleen O'Neill/WTAM 1100)
Members of the Strongsville Education Association met at Strongsville High Cchool Saturday where they voted to ratify a contract. The Board of Education approved the deal Sunday. The three-year deal runs through 2015.
SEA President tracy linscott says the vote in support of the deal was "overwhelming."
After eight weeks on the picket line, the tentative deal was reached Friday.
"The past eight weeks have been difficult, but the healing process begins today," said BOE President David Frazee after negotiations Friday.
Details of the deal have been posted on the school district's website
It appears the teachers got much of what they wanted, with the board getting concessions on health care.
The federal mediation and conciliation service said in a statement that both sides affirmed their joint commitment to move forward in a positive atmosphere.
The strike over salary and working conditions at the district involved around 400 teachers and 6,200 students.
SEA represents nearly 385 highly qualified classroom teachers, guidance counselors and special education interventionists in the Strongsville City School District.

If I could have just one, it would be the AR10 first. It is more versatile and has a better scope mounting system.
seriously, looking for opinions. if you could pick, which one would it be?
PSL or AR10
the reason i ask, i am debating whether to ditch my psl kit and do an ar10. i am so on the fence that i cannot decide.
al gore is full of carbon enriched shit
If I could have just one, it would be the AR10 first. It is more versatile and has a better scope mounting system.
Ar 10.
LMT, next question please.
Whatever site I read it on as a members tag line, it's the truest statement ever made.
"Our forefathers would have been shooting by now"
member # 575
I had the same problem but decided to keep my PSL because of the still cheaper ammo and build an AR 308 with a Tactical Machine upper and lower and a 16 inch light weight mid length barrel. 7.62 nato is still a lot more expensive but you have more kinds to chose from. I sold an H&K 91 to buy a Galil years ago and still regret selling it so I avoid making those kind of choices if at all possible.
Gunco member #11
it is dangerous to be right in matters about which the established authorities are wrong Voltaire
AR10,still somewhat heavy but less than a PSL and better ergonomics by far and better accessory mounting system,for scopes ect., my preference.
ar-10 if long range accuracy --otherwise FAL--
i can see why people have PSLs IF they got plenty of ammo though.
really depends on your personal situation.
i have went strictly bolt action for long range shooting --mostly to conserve expensive match grade ammo. so it is a priority deal--
Last edited by j427x; 02-24-2014 at 02:30 PM. Reason: typo
For sure j427x,, bolt guns are my toy of choice for any long range work,,always.
The DPMS 308 I had was not bad at all but still way to easy to dump several mags just playing around, and at >a buck a round for target grade or hunting grade ammo I used in it,,it counts up quick!!! And to me even though the ammo is cheaper by a long shot for the PSL's, your just not going to get any where near the accuracy unless you go extreme with the build and dump tons of money into it, then I still doubt you'd get anywhere near as close to the same performance anyhow sense true target grade parts just aren't available for PSL's. Dollar for dollar,,, still an AR platform if you must have a semi auto target gun.
+1 on the FAL's, all I've had , have shot great, still not target gun performance ,, but pretty acceptable for the cost of the guns,,,
well at least ,,,for what costs,,, used to be that is!!!! I have no clue what a decent FAL is going out the door for around here now????? Haven't really looked lately.
The supply of PSLs is just about gone. AR-10s are in current production.
I'd finish the PSL kit, stockpile 54R while it is (relatively) cheap, and get the AR-10 later.
Perge, scelus, mihi diem perficias.

I am not sure if this is the place to ask for help, but I would appreciate any advice.
I would like to help my friends partner learn English, but am not really sure where to start. He can speak the basics well - he told me about his family and his job in very basic english. But I am not a TEFL teacher, I am a primary school teacher! Because of his working hours, he cant attend classes locally, so I would like to do what I can to help him out.
What sorts of things can I do with him? Should I teach him the tenses, different verbs, base it on themes (shopping etc)? He really needs to improve his English to be able to change jobs.
I really dont know where to start!

WSU Law Professor Publishes 'Visualizing Secured Transactions'
DETROIT (Dec. 11, 2007) – Wayne State University Professor Laura B. Bartell recently published a book titled "Visualizing Secured Transactions."
According to Professor Bartell, "Visualizing Secured Transactions" takes the text of Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code (and related statutes) and puts them into the form of easily-understandable charts.
"Many law students, perhaps even more than the population at large, tend to be visual learners," said Professor Bartell. "I wanted to help facilitate greater comprehension of such a technical commercial subject."
Professor Bartell joined the Wayne State University Law School faculty in 1996 after 17 years of private practice in New York. After graduating from Harvard Law School, where she was an officer on the Harvard Law Review, she clerked for Judge Alvin B. Rubin of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit in New Orleans. She then entered practice in New York where she became a partner in Shearman & Sterling, specializing in bank financing and bankruptcy work.
She is a member of the American Law Institute and the American Bankruptcy Institute, and has published articles on bankruptcy topics, federal court-awarded attorneys' fees and costs, and the attorney/client privilege and work-product doctrine.
Prior to coming to Wayne Law, where she teaches Property, Secured Transactions, Bankruptcy & Creditors' Rights and Effective Oral Communication for Lawyers, she was an adjunct professor at Fordham University School of Law.
Wayne State University Law School has served Michigan and beyond since its inception as Detroit City Law School in 1927. Located in Detroit's re-energized historic cultural center, the Law School remains committed to student success and features modern lecture and court facilities, multi-media classrooms, a 250-seat auditorium, and the Arthur Neef Law Library, which houses one of the nation's 30 largest legal collections. Taught by an internationally recognized faculty, Wayne State Law School students experience a high-quality legal education via a growing array of hands-on curricular offerings, five live-client clinics, and access to well over 100 internships with local and non-profit entities each year. Its 11,000 living alumni, who work in every state of the nation and more than a dozen foreign countries, include leading members of the local, national and international legal communities.

Hello All,
I have been reading a lot and still have a couple questions.
I've been looking at pursuing this full time for a while now. I want to travel more, I've taught ESL for my local church, and have a BA. Now that I was recently laid off I am free to pursue this.
I'm from the USA but ultimately I want to work in Spain, Italy, or UK. I assume I will work in East Europe or China first though.
I was looking at these options:
ITTO TEFL in Guadalajara (http://www.teflcertificatecourses.com/tefl-mexico.php)
CELTA (http://www.ihrivieramaya.com/celta/tesol.html)
What would be recommended for my EU goal? I like the ITTO option given that it also includes some Spanish training and it is better financially. It seems like the CELTA is more marketable in the EU though. Would the ITTO TEFL be accepted?
Thoughts? Advice?

"We played great for 30 minutes but unfortunately the game is 60 minutes," said Canisius head coach Scott Teeter.
Senior Morgan Leonard and junior Maria Kotas each led the Griffs with two goals in the loss with sophomore Tori Quinn adding a goal and an assist.
The Buckeyes opened the scoring in the contest with a goal less than four minutes into the contest but the Griffs responded by keeping Ohio State off the scoreboard for the next 14 minutes and tallying two goals of their own. Quinn and Leonard both netted goals as Canisius took a 2-1 lead. Ohio State answered back with a 4-1 run before Leonard finished the scoring in the first half with her second of the day with just 42 seconds left.
Ohio State headed into the intermission with a 5-4 lead with shots even at 13 in the opening 30 minutes of action.
The second half was much different as the Buckeyes dominated the second 30 minutes of play to run away with the win. Ohio State scored the first four goals of the second stanza in just over five minutes of action before Canisius even had the ball in its offensive zone. Overall, the Buckeyes outscored Canisius, 11-1, in the second half and held a 23-5 advantage in shots. In fact, Canisius got off only five shots after the intermission, while committing 11 turnovers.
Overall, Ohio State outshot the Griffs, 36-18, in the win and held a commanding 17-6 advantage in draw controls. Jackie Cifarelli (1g, 5a) and Cara Facchina (4g, 2a) led the Buckeyes with six points each.
Canisius returns to Buffalo for its next game when the Griffs host Long Island on Thursday. First draw is scheduled for 4 p.m.

8) Recent Dinosaur Discoveries In Utah And Wyoming
Geological Society of America
Imagine a one-ton Big Bird à la Sesame Street, but instead of friendly "hands",he has Freddie Claws. That's basically what the Therizinosaurid dinosaur looks like that geologist David Gillette's team from the Museum of Northern Arizona (MNA) found in Kane County, Utah.
"This is a one ton plant-eating carnivore with really bizarre claws",said Gillette. "It had slender arms and really long bones in the hand with bladed claws that look like sickles. With the sheath, the claws are about 15 inches long."
Gillette will present a preliminary report on their discovery May 7 at the Geological Society of America Rocky Mountain Section Meeting at the Southern Utah University campus.
He will also report on another uncommon find—skin impressions of a duck-billed dinosaur known as a Hadrosaur. Gillette's group found the impressions while excavating the dinosaur's tail in the new Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument (GSENM) in Kane County.
"This is the second reported discovery of skin impressions in Utah",Gillette said. "On the global scale, however, this is a rare occurrence. This was a great discovery, especially in the context of the Hadrosaur with an articulated tail--that means the bones were still connected--that extended from the base of the tail (at the hips) to near the tip, about 13 feet long. In addition, the tendons that in life held the tail rigid were still preserved in life position."
The Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument is about two million acres large and much of it is exposed and eroded rock, so fossils are usually only found in unrecognizable bits and pieces. But the MNA discovery was different.
"The rear half of the body was in beautiful state of preservation and in articulation. The discovery of the skin impressions came during the excavation, to our great delight and surprise,†Gillette said. "I would describe the skin as pebbled, with radiating grooves in each bump. The bumps were polygonal, nearly equilateral diamonds, pentagons, and hexagons. This texture surely added strength and toughness to the skin, which in turn would resist decay following death and burial. The carcass did not decay much prior to burial, but had to be desiccated to resist decomposition by bacteria--that is, the local environment must have been very dry."
Scott Sampson from the Utah Museum of Natural History will provide updates on his and his team's discoveries from GSENM at the same May 7 session as Gillette—"Paleontological Research in Grand-Staircase Escalante National Monument and Surrounding Area."
Their findings include two previously unknown horned dinosaurs (ceratopsians), a partial skull of a dome-headed dinosaur (pachycephalosaur), a partial skeleton of a large-bodied tyrannosaur that is the first tyrannosaur from this time period in Utah, and the remains of two previously unknown giant crocodiles. Research for this project was funded by GSENM as part of a collaborative paleontological survey.
"Given how little is known of the dinosaurs from GSENM, chances are high that most of the dinosaur remains represent species new to science,†Sampson said. "Now the goal is to find enough of each of these ancient beasts to establish that they do represent new species. Our efforts and those of others over the past several years suggest that GSENM has perhaps greater potential to yield new and interesting kinds of dinosaurs than any other region in North America."
Based on different types of Late Cretaceous plants and animal discoveries in Montana and Alberta versus those found in New Mexico and Texas, Sampson and others speculate that Utah may be an important boundary area between two major "biozones".
"To really understand this paleoecological story, however, will require a good record from the Late Cretaceous of Utah,†Sampson said. "And GSENM will provide that record."
Brent H. Breithaupt, from the University of Wyoming's Geological Museum, will take a look at what he calls "Theropod family values" via a "live-action†glimpse of their lives through intensive study of over 1,000 dinosaur tracks at the Red Gulch Dinosaur Tracksite in northern Wyoming. He will present his report May 8 at the Stratigraphy, Paleontology, Paleobotany, Archaeological Geology, and History of Geology session at the meeting.
"We have evidence of gregarious carnivorous dinosaurs. These are groups of animals moving together,†Breithaupt said. "Trace fossils such as tracks are unique in that they actually preserve the activities of ancient animals. In addition, as we have a very large and statistically valid database we can make some unique interpretations. This is important as evidence for gregarious carnivorous dinosaurs is relatively rare."
Using data from a variety of resources including aerial photography of the entire tracksite and close-range photogrammetric images of a single track, Breithaupt and his co-authors speculate there were family groups, ranging from yearlings to adults, interacting near their nesting area by a shore.
"The data also suggest a certain level of parental care and the level of dependence of the young dinosaurs, as we have juveniles traveling with adults" he said. "From what we know about dinosaur growth, it appears that they grew at the same rates as some modern ground birds such as ostriches and emus. If our dinosaurs represent animals of different ages of the same species then the smallest ones can't be very old--a year or perhaps less. Little animals of this sort probably aren't going to travel long distances during the first year. Thus, they were probably relatively near a large ground nesting area. If we accept the paradigm of theropod dinosaurs being similar to modern birds, then some of the behaviors and family structures may be similar as well."
The Dinosaur that Fooled the World
First shown: BBC Two 9.00pm Thursday 21 February 2002
In the mid 1800s, when Charles Darwin published his theory of evolution, one species of animal remained a mystery; where did birds fit on his evolutionary tree? Several years later his friend and colleague, Thomas Henry Huxley, came up with an answer. Huxley had recently examined a new fossil from southern Germany called Archaeopteryx which was causing considerable excitement in palaeontological circles. There were clear signs of feathers and it was obvious this was the earliest fossil evidence of a bird ever found. Huxley noticed something else as well. To him it looked as though the skeleton bore a striking similarity to that of a family of meat eating dinosaurs known as therapods.
Transitional trail
In the 1860s, on the basis of this observation, he announced a new theory; birds must have evolved from dinosaurs. The theory ignited what was to become one of the biggest controversies in palaeontology. Could Huxley possibly be right; how could a large, land-bound creature like a dinosaur have ever evolved into something as light and sleek as a bird? Many questioned the accuracy of Huxley's observations and ever since there has been a search for further fossil evidence to confirm the theory; a transitional animal which would incontrovertibly show how, in one creature, birds had evolved from dinosaurs. It has become one of the big missing links in palaeontology.
In Spring 1999, at the Tucson Gem and Fossil Fair in Arizona, an American collector came across a new Chinese fossil which seemed to be just this transitional animal. It had the head and upper body of a bird but the tail of a dinosaur. It was called Archaeoraptor or 'ancient hunter'.
Chinese finds
Throughout the 1990s a number of important fossils emerged from China showing an apparent relationship between dinosaurs and birds. Practically all come from a region in the north of the country called Liaoning, one of the richest fossil areas in the world. Here, 130 million years ago, volcanic eruptions buried a wetland once teeming in wildlife. Many of the fossils have been magnificently preserved in the fine silt; some even have the remains of soft tissue attached to them.
It was here, in 1996, that Chinese scientists found a creature they called Sinosauropteryx, an animal which bore many similarities to a dinosaur but appeared to have been covered in a feathery like coat. Two years later a joint Chinese/American team found an even more striking creature; a dinosaur like animal with very clear feathers which they called Caudipteryx. Other similar feathered dinosaurs followed, including in 1999, an important specimen called Sinornithosurus. Yet to those who questioned the relationship between dinosaurs and birds, these fabulous finds raised as many questions as they answered. Were the feather-like markings really signs of feathers, or were they something else? And were the skeletons really those of dinosaurs or were they, in fact, the skeletons of new, as yet unidentified, birds? What was still missing was the piece of evidence which would satisfy everybody.
The best of both worlds
The new Archaeoraptor fossil, also from the Liaoning region of China, seemed to be just that. Here, in one animal, was a unique range of dinosaur and bird features. It had the skull and upper body of a bird, but the teeth and hands of a dinosaur. It also had the legs of a bird but the tail of a dinosaur. It was the most complete set of transitional features ever found in one creature. In November 1999 National Geographic Magazine gave it a special mention in an article about the origins of birds, calling it, "a true missing link.". The debate, started by Thomas Huxley in the 1860s, seemed to have been resolved.
Yet within months, new finds in China showed Archaeoraptor to be an extremely clever fake. The head and upper body of a hitherto unidentified bird had been glued onto the tail of a previously unknown dinosaur. It was a journalistic disaster for National Geographic Magazine. The fossil, however, was anything but a disaster for palaeontology. By an extraordinary stroke of good luck, as scientists in China and America examined the head and tail separately, they found that both were, in their own right, unique and extremely valuable specimens. Both, in their different ways, contained powerful evidence that birds had evolved from dinosaurs

I was wondering if when you restored this pistol if the frame was done original? The one I have is almost eight years old but still looks brand new. Found it at a local guns store Jan. 14. I was told that the frame was a factory finish, but I'm not sure.
Build date was june 6 2005. I called sig and even with the serial number they said they could not give me any info because the build date was just before they started building in their US factory so they had no records. All I wanted from Sig was info on the finish but the rep didn't know anything about the older guns. It is a German gun,or at least that's what is stamped on the frame. It's a P229 .40 S&W. The spare mag still had factory grease on it and the used mag had only very minor wear, you actually have to look for the lines on the mag to see the wear marks. The barrel had less wear than my Sig Pro that has only had about 150 rounds shot through it. I would love to get some info on this gun as to what Sig called this frame color, how many were made, etc.

Editor's Note: This story was written by Bryan Kohrs, a junior in Biophysics at Johns Hopkins University with a strong interest in science writing and science. It first appeared in the 2013 issue of Nano-Bio Magazine.
Denis Wirtz lines up next to many other scientists in the war on cancer. But while others battle with familiar technologies and ideas, Wirtz has armed himself with a new imaging technology, a fresh strategy on how to better combat this dreaded disease and a five year grant from the National Cancer Institute (NCI).
Wirtz, a professor of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at Johns Hopkins, is carving out a niche for himself in cancer research by focusing on the look and physical structure of cancerous cells rather than the genes from which the cells originated. He believes that this technology will not only help doctors predict how cancer progresses, but will eventually change the way cancer is treated from a therapeutic standpoint. The technology is the keystone of the new Johns Hopkins Center for Digital Pathology, which Wirtz directs.
To understand how this technology works, consider this analogy: A cell is like a Lego brick. Just as individual Legos can come together to create a building, millions of different cells come together to make a human being. Certain bricks serve different purposes in a building in the same way that distinctive cells carry out certain functions in the body. The properties that make some Legos better suited for one purpose over another are their size and shape. For example, if a piece is flat and wide, it should go on the base. Structural characteristics that make cells unique include overall size, shape, the size and shape of the different cell parts or organelles, the composition of certain organelles, and hundreds of other parameters.
Wirtz's technology uses a modified scanning electron microscope and a process called high-throughput cell phenotyping (HTCP) to instantly make hundreds of thousands of highly specific measurements defining each of these structural cellular characteristics of each single cell on a slide. Wirtz has software that uses an algorithm that adds up all of the different measurements and gives a cell a structural "score," which quantifies the look of the cell with a number. The process will be automated and will take just minutes for a slide of cells to be analyzed and given an overall structural score, which averages the scores of all the cells on the slide.
Anirban Maitra, a professor of Oncology and Pathology at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine who is collaborating with Wirtz on this project, explains the benefits of automating this process, "If you were looking at a cell with the naked eye, you would say it has a large nucleus, medium sized nucleus, or a small nucleus. What automation allows you to do is to spread that crude three-tiered category into hundreds of small denominational events that you could then objectively add up and get a score."
Over the course of the next five years, Wirtz plans to use HTCPanalysis as a clinically applicable tool that can help doctors treat cancer patients with more personalized therapies.
"Currently, we have a very crude approach to therapy even with the targeted therapies that are being developed. The vast majority of patients in cancer care and oncology get what are called cytotoxic agents, the old agents that were made many years ago," said Maitra. But by using HTCP to see how cancers that look a certain way respond to certain treatments, doctors will be able to better personalize cancer treatments.
To make the project clinically applicable, Wirtz, with the help of Maitra and Ralph Hruban, also a professor of Oncology and Pathology at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine who is collaborating with the team, will be working to create the first "phenotypic database," or a cell-feature-focused database. It will combine patient data like age, sex, cancer type, progression, treatment used, genetic sequencing results (analysis of tumor from a genetic standpoint), and so forth in an online, "cloud" database and then also add in the structure score of the patient's tumor performed from HTCP.
At the moment, Hopkins is the only university with Wirtz's new technology. The plan is for hospitals across the nation to begin uploading patient information to the database online and sending slides of cancer tumor cells to Hopkins or an alternate research facility using this technology. There, independent researchers will analyze the cells and add the HTCP analysis to the patient information online.
Doctors can upload all of this data into the cloud and help the database grow initially. Eventually, an oncologist in Chicago, treating a 70-year-old man with lung cancer, and a HTCP score of X will be able to go online and find that there were two similar patients, a 65-year-old man with lung cancer in Baltimore and a 75-year-old woman with lung cancer in California, both with a score of X as well. The physician would discover that the man in Baltimore was treated with chemotherapy A and died in six months, while the woman in California was treated with chemotherapy B and was cured. Doctors will be able to make more informed treatment decisions.
Classifying the morphological characteristics of cancer is a shift from the traditional genetic approach to categorizing cancer cells. Previously, scientists researched cancer from a genetic standpoint, linking specific genetic mutations to specific cases of cancer. While this has lead to gene-targeted therapies, Wirtz wants to take a different approach to cancer research. He wants to look beyond the genetic origin of cancer and focus on what cancerous cells look like.
"We've come to realize that it is the heterogeneity – the diversity of cells that have different characteristics – is also important in evaluating a cancer case. In the end what matters are the cell properties.
That's what we measure," Wirtz explained. The rationale for this new approach, Wirtz explained, is that while cells can be identical genetically, they can vary tremendously in structure, just as two identical twins can develop to be very different people, both physically and personally. Cells from one tumor could become metastatic, latch onto a new organ, and start a new tumor that eventually kills the patient, while a genetically identical set of cells could remain localized and die as soon as they detach from the original tumor.
Wirtz's theory is that the key to cancer treatment prognostication lies not in cancer genetics, but in the physical attributes of cancerous cells. For example, you could say that muscle definition and physical fitness would be strongly correlated with athletics and would therefore be able to be used to predict who out of twenty people would become athletes. Wirtz believes that his technology will allow doctors to do the same thing with cancer.
With this new technology Wirtz hopes to figure out what triggers cancer cells to metastasize. For example, do small, elliptical cells with large nuclei metastasize better than large, rod-like cells with small nuclei? He explained that cells that metastasize have to be super-cells, much like super-heroes are better, faster, and stronger than other humans.
"Millions of cells are shed by tumors every day, but only one or two of them will have what it takes to become metastatic. These are the decathlon cells. We need to figure out what the physical properties are that give these cells an edge," Wirtz says.
Maitra poses the question that guides the project in its applications towards therapeutic cancer treatment, "We have a lot of different drugs out there right now. Some work, some don't. The problem is you only find out if they worked retroactively. You give it to a patient and six months later the metastasis keeps growing and you know if it's worked or not. But wouldn't it be nice if we knew going into the treatment that these patients would respond to a particular regimen and these other patients respond to another regimen?"
Maitra believes that conceptually, this project is paradigm shifting. "Wirtz is analyzing cancer in a brand new way. Extending this tool into an open-access cancer database, the project seems to have a bright future for helping doctors treat patients."
Maitra makes sure to keep the project in perspective while being hopeful about the direction of this project, "It is very preliminary at this point. We have a long way to go before we can actually say this is a clinically applicable technology, but what we are doing right now is working our way up there."

A-980 Companion Flange Nut (Spicer No. 145-W)
What size is this nut?
I'm ready to find out exactly what I need to get my EBrake operational but this bad boy is in my way. The parts list wasn't much more specific than the name and part number of course, the manual didn't specifiy either. I did it search but didn't really find much.
I don't have a rachet large enough, I'd prefer picking up the right one the first time

Phoenix and Flames Primed for Friday Night Quarterfinal
By: Andrew Gavin (@GBGavin)
GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) - Green Bay (17-14) faced an opponent for the second time in a week in the first round of the Horizon League Championship, beating Milwaukee 62-46 on Tuesday night. In the quarterfinals on Friday night at 7:30 p.m. in Valparaiso, Ind., the Phoenix meets No. 5 seed UIC (17-14), a team that it has not played since Jan. 31. The Flames won that game in Chicago, earning a series split after Green Bay won another closely contested game 53-47 back on Jan. 12. Since Jan. 31, Green Bay has won six of its nine games while UIC is 3-6.
In the three seasons in which head coaches Brian Wardle and Howard Moore have been on the sidelines for Green Bay and UIC, five of the six meetings have been decided by single digits, with the Phoenix holding a 4-2 edge.
Big men have dominated this season's meetings, with junior Alec Brown (Winona, MInn.) scoring 21 points in the Phoenix win and UIC's Josh Crittle scoring the game's final six points in the Flames' 63-57 victory. Chicago native Keifer Sykes averaged 12.5 points in the two meetings.
TICKET INFORMATION: Tickets can be purchased for Friday and Saturday by visiting ValpoAthletics.com, calling 219-464-5233 or by visiting the Valparaiso University Ticket Office, located in the main lobby of the ARC (extended hours of 10 a.m.-7 p.m. this week). Tickets for Friday's pair of second-round games are $10 general admission seating for the session, while groups of 10 or more are $7 each and Horizon League students are free with their student ID.
FOLLOW THE PHOENIX: Fans unable to make it to Valparaiso on Friday night will be able to watch the game live on the Horizon League Network and on ESPN3 with Jim Barbar (play-by-play), David Kaplan (color analyst) and Will Haskett (sideline) on the call. On the radio, the play-by-play voice of the Phoenix Matt Menzl will be on the call alongside Andrew Gavin on WDUZ The Fan 1400 AM or thefan1075.com. Live stats will be available on ValpoAthletics.com. You can also stay up-to-date by following @GBPhoenixMBB and @GBGavin on Twitter.
1. TOURNAMENT TIME: Green Bay's first round victory over Milwaukee improved the program to 15-17 overall in the Horizon League Championship. The Phoenix won the title in 1995 and last advanced to the championship game in 1998. The program is looking to advance to the semifinals for the first time since 2009, when the Phoenix earned a double bye.
2. COMPETE, DEFEND, REBOUND: Wardle has stressed this phrase and this emphasis since he was hired prior to the 2010-11 season, and it highlights the team's strengths in 2012-13. Green Bay led the Horizon League in field goal percentage defense, blocked shots and rebounding margin in conference play. In its opening round win over Milwaukee, all three of those stats were on display as the Panthers shot just 26.5 percent, had eight shots blocked and were outrebounded by 12. It was the fifth time this season a Phoenix opponent failed to reach 50 points, the most since 2000-01. Green Bay is 14-0 this season when holding teams below 60 points.
3. LAUDED ALL-LEAGUE: Sykes, Brown and freshman Jordan Fouse (Racine, Wis.) were all honored by the Horizon League on Monday with postseason accolades. Sykes, who ranks in the top-5 in the conference in points and assists, was named to the first team while Brown was a second-team selection after averaging 15.6 points in league play. Fouse, who led the conference in rebounding, was the runner-up for Newcomer of the Year and named to the All-Newcomer team.
• THE SEASON SERIES: If the first two meetings are any indication, expect a low-scoring, defensive-minded game on Friday night. Green Bay won a game in which it shot just 36.2 percent but lost shooting 48.8 percent. The Phoenix was plus-6 on the boards in the first meeting but was outrebounded by five in the loss in Chicago. UIC is one of just two league teams to beat the Phoenix on the boards in a game. The teams are 1-2 in the conference in free-throw percentage, with Green Bay shooting 75.6 and UIC shooting 75 percent. The Phoenix has made 74 more free throws on the season, including six more against the Flames.
• SECOND-HALF SYKES: Sykes, one of just two Horizon League players to be named Player of the Week at least three times this season, has done the majority of his damage in the clutch. In the past seven games against Horizon League foes, he has scored 98 of his 127 points in the second half or overtime, averaging 14 points after halftime. For the season, Sykes averages 9.3 points per game after halftime.
• INSIDE AND OUTSIDE THE ARC: Brown has played the best basketball of his career down the stretch this season. The 7-foot-1 Brown has 1,163 career points, and against League opponents this season he is averaging 15.8 points per game. Since the beginning of February against conference foes, Brown is averaging 18.3 and 2.5 blocks per game. In those eight games, he is shooting 53 percent from the field (53-100), 52.2 percent from long range (12-23) and 71.8 percent from the free-throw line (71.8).
• DOMINANT DEFENSIVE DUO: Brown and Fouse both were named to the five-player All-Defensive Team after helping the Phoenix rank first in field goal percentage defense, rebounding and blocked shots in league play. Brown and Fouse are the first Phoenix players to be named all-defense since 2008-09 and the first Green Bay duo on the team since 1997-98. In addition, Fouse is the first freshman in the conference to be named to the All-Defensive Team since another Phoenix player, Terry Evans in 2005-06, and the first freshman to lead the Horizon League in rebounding since Northern Illinois' T.J. Lux in 1995-96.
• TOP OF THE CLASS: Fouse's rookie campaign has included impressive consistency, leading towards the broken records and impressive streaks. Fouse is now the holder of Green Bay's freshman records for rebounds (239) and steals (55) in a season. His 46 blocks are the sixth-most by any Phoenix player, and with two more he will have more blocks in a season than any Green Bay player not named Alec Brown. Fouse has grabbed at least five rebounds in 16-straight games and has blocked at least one shot in 20 consecutive contests.

Utah Highway Patrol Cpl. Shawn Alton says his 2011 request to search a man's SUV and trailer had the proper approval.
But court records show the Emery County attorney told Alton he didn't have enough probable cause to search Jeffrey Lawrence's vehicle two years ago on the side of Interstate 70.
Now it's Lawrence with a court order to dig around into what UHP did to investigate Alton and the unlawful search.
Third District Judge L.A. Dever on Wednesday ordered the UHP to provide Lawrence with records of its investigation into Alton. The ruling, however, could have a broader impact.
Police departments in Utah generally regard their investigations into their own officers to be sacrosanct, except in those cases where criminal misconduct is found or the department disciplines the officer.
Attorney Jeffrey Hunt, who represents news outlets and follows rulings concerning Utah's records laws, said Dever's ruling may make more investigations of government employees available to the public.
"The judge has articulated a compelling public interest in learning about how the disciplinary process works when you have serious allegations such as this," Hunt said.
UHP still has the option of appealing Dever's ruling. Dwayne Baird, a spokesman for UHP, issued a statement.
"The Utah Highway Patrol leadership would like to take some time to review this ruling and discuss it with the commissioner of public safety before proceeding in this matter," the statement said.
Lawrence's case had already exposed a UHP policy unusual in law enforcement a refusal to tell citizens what happened to their complaint. Now, after once being searched and subsequently charged with a crime, Lawrence said the ruling represents the legal process working for him.
"I do feel vindicated," Lawrence said Thursday. "I know I didn't do anything wrong. I know Trooper Alton did."
On the night of April 20, 2011, Lawrence, a Colorado resident, was driving to Las Vegas. He ran out of gas on Interstate 70 near Green River, Utah. Alton arrived and began questioning Lawrence, including asking if he had drugs, weapons or large amounts of cash, according to court records. Lawrence said no and denied Alton's request to search his Chevy Suburban and the cargo trailer he was towing.
Another trooper and a Emery County sheriff's deputy arrived. They and Alton continued questioning Lawrence, according to court papers, and eventually obtained the later-disputed warrant to search the SUV and trailer. They found 1 to 2 grams of marijuana and the pain reliever hydrocodone. Lawrence had prescriptions for both. But the Emery County Attorney's Office still charged Lawrence with a felony count of drug possession and three misdemeanors.
The charges were dismissed after the problems were discovered with the search warrant. Lawrence's attorney, Greg Stevens, said Alton claimed the electronic form he completed automatically filled in a section stating the prosecutor approved.
Lawrence filed a lawsuit in federal court and filed a formal citizen's complaint with UHP against Alton. UHP paid Lawrence $40,000 to settle the federal lawsuit. But as for Lawrence's complaint, UHP sent Lawrence a two-paragraph letter from Maj. Mike Rapich reading, in part: "Appropriate action has been taken to address the concerns outlined in your letter dated Sept. 17, 2011."
But Lawrence wanted to see UHP's investigation into Alton. He sent the Utah Department of Public Safety, UHP's parent agency, a request under the Utah Government Records Access and Management Act, the state's public records law. DPS denied Lawrence's request.
In an appeal hearing before the Utah Records Committee in October 2012, DPS attorney Lana Taylor said that since Alton was not disciplined, disclosing the records would be an invasion of his privacy. The records committee sided with DPS.
Lawrence appealed that decision by filing a lawsuit in 3rd District Court. In his ruling, Dever rejected the concerns about Alton's privacy.
"... there is no merit to DPS's argument that the interests favoring secrecy are not substantially outweighed by the public policies and interest favoring public disclosure," Dever wrote.
Dever also rejected an alternative from state attorneys to provide Lawrence with the records with an order preventing him from sharing the results. Dever said the public has an interest in learning how UHP handled the complaint.
The state also must pay Lawrence's legal fees. Stevens said those will be about $9,000.

Benefit That Gal Face Primer ReviewMonday, August 06, 2007
One of this season's best new products is this face primer, from Benefit. That Gal promises to smooth and brighten any complexion. The product comes in a plastic container that makes it look like a glue stick. When you twist the bottom, the pink primer comes out of the top, it is a light pink color with a thick lotion-like consistency, when rubbed between your fingers it has a definite silky feel. There is no smell that I am aware of.
The product can be used alone or under other face products, and is applied with your fingers. Though Benefit says to apply this in an upward motion, I'm not sure that this tip is really necessary. Once rubbed in I couldn't tell that there was any pink tint to my skin, but when used beneath my Some Kind-a Gorgeous I had a luminous glow that was perfect for faking being well rested. I think one of the best things about this product is that although it does give you a luminous glow, it does this without shimmer or shine. It simply makes you look luminous!
Update 8/7/2007: MrsLP asked a great question in the comments, regarding whether I prefer this product or my DuWop Revolotion Face tinted moisturizer. I think a better comparison might be my Revlon Skinlights Skin Brightener, which I have never done a full review on, but which I discussed in a previous post. Both are meant to brighten your complexion with a lotion that has light reflecting pigments and is a light pink/nude color. Both can be worn alone. However, the main difference is the shimmer. Now, there are times when I want a shimmer (eg- parties, highlighting the brow bone at times), however the majority of the time this is not a good idea for your entire face. So, I think that overall the Benefit is better than the Revlon lotion. As for the DuWop, I think this would be better to compare to Some Kind-a Gorgeous, which will be my next review.

do you like this or DuWop Revolotion Face better? I want to get something like this! thank you! love your blog!ReplyDelete
That's a great question, I'll do a quick little update so everyone sees my answer without looking at the comments. :DReplyDelete

I just bought "that gal" at Macy's when the lady at the Benefit booth was doing my friend's make-up I sat on the stool to wait, the second lady saw me sitting and said something along the lines of "You have dry skin, and an oily forehead" Naturally I was intrigued considering that I felt like I had an exceptional complexion, she proceeded to put some stuff on my face (A moisturizer on my cheeks and the primer on the entire face), I ended up buying "that gal" for over 30 bucks, later I felt like I had been tricked into buying the product and felt like a fool, but I've been applying the product for the last four days and like the lady promised... My pores are getting smaller and my forehead isn't so oily :) highly recommend it for the priceReplyDelete
I love comments! Please ask away, provide info on how you liked something, etc. Note that spam, comments with random links (which I count as spam), anything not in english (again, spam) and comments that are completely unrelated to anything will all be deleted.

By Rick Brewer, UNC SID Emeritus
Statisticians and the Carolina sports information staff spent a good deal of time searching for records after the high-scoring game with Georgia Tech here two weeks ago.
In going through the Tar Heel media guide they paid close attention to the 1993 Maryland game. But not even the game against the Yellow Jackets could match the offensive shootout between Carolina and the Terps two decades ago.
Certainly several records were broken two weeks ago. Carolina has never been in a game that finished with a combined 118 points. The previous high was the 101 in the Tar Heels' 59-42 victory over Maryland in 1993.
However, the Tech game, with a combined total of 1,085 total yards, could not match the 1,166 gained by Carolina and the Terps. The Tar Heels finished that game with 714 total yards, still the school record. Carolina had 497 against Tech.
Carolina displayed tremendous balance in the Maryland game, rushing for 344 yards and passing for 370 more.
No one goes into any game expecting that much offense. This was especially true for the Maryland game. The Terps had played just one game and the Tar Heels were 2-0.
But Maryland would eventually finish second in the ACC and 16th in the nation in total offense, averaging 439.6 yards a game. Carolina was third in the league and 17th nationally at 438.0
Terp quarterback Scott Milanovich led the conference in total offense. The Tar Heels' Jason Stanicek was fifth. Stanicek's numbers could have been even better except Mike Thomas played at least a quarter of the time each week at quarterback. Plus, Carolina had a powerful running attack, finishing seventh in the country in rushing. Tailbacks Curtis and Leon Johnson each ran for over 1,000 yards.
Both starting quarterbacks were at their best when they faced off in that 1993 game. Milanovich had a career day, completing 34 of 50 passes for 405 yards and five touchdowns. Stanicek hit 14 of 17 passes for 288 yards and two touchdowns. Stanicek also had seven carries for 36 yards, including a four-yard run for the Tar Heels' first touchdown.
"I know most fans like to see a lot offense," said Carolina Coach Mack Brown afterwards. "So do I. I would just prefer for us to be accounting for most of it. But, you've got to give Maryland credit. Milanovich played as well against us as any quarterback in my time at Carolina. And (Jermaine) Lewis is a terrific receiver.
"Corey Holliday and Bucky Brooks showed they are, too. And for what we ask our quarterback to do, Stanicek was super."
Maryland grabbed an early lead on a 34-yard pass from Milanovich to Lewis. But, the Tar heels then scored three straight touchdowns. Stanicek threw 68 yards to tight end Greg DeLong, setting up his own touchdown run. Leon Johnson scored on a 57-yard run and Stanicek threw an 11-yard touchdown pass to Brooks. Carolina led the rest of the way.
Before halftime Stanicek added a 56-yard touchdown pass to Holliday and Curtis Johnson bolted 90 yards up the middle on a 90-yard scoring run. That's still Carolina's second longest run from scrimmage in history and the longest for a touchdown. A Tripp Pignetti field goal gave the Tar Heels a 38-21 lead after two quarters.
Carolina's second half scores came on a one-yard plunge by Leon Johnson, a 47-yard pass from Thomas to Brooks and a 37-yard run by Curtis Johnson.
Curtis Johnson finished with 168 yards on 17 carries and Leon ran 16 times for 101 yards. Based on this game and the previous ones against Southern Cal and Ohio University, it was becoming obvious the combination of the two Johnsons could offset the loss of all-star tailback Natrone Means.
Holiday ended the game with seven catches for 149 yards and Brooks had five receptions for 115 yards.
Maryland's Lewis, meanwhile, had nine catches 250 yards. In addition to his early 34-yard touchdown reception, he had another scoring catch of 67 yards.
Carolina set a school record by averaging 9.27 yards per play. That figure was 7.2 in the Georgia Tech game.
Brown shook his head as he glanced at the final statistics.
"These numbers are amazing," he said. "But the guys who are going to get overlooked are the offensive linemen. Unfortunately, that's the case too often. I'm anxious to watch the game film and see how good they really were."
He was talking about a unit of tackles Curtis Parker and Ethan Albright, guards Shawn Hocker and Scott Falise and center Pat Conneely.
There was a different kind of headshaking elsewhere in Kenan Fieldhouse. Carl Torbush, Carolina's defensive coordinator, was at a loss. The Tar Heels had entered the season with only three returning defensive starters. But the new starters all had seen experience in backup roles in 1992.
Carolina would end the year second in the ACC and 21st nationally in total defense. Seven defenders would be first, second or third-team All-ACC selections at season's end.
"It's hard to believe we could do such a great job against Southern Cal two weeks ago and then have such problems today," Torbush said. "Milanovich was as hot as any quarterback we've played in a long time."
He then managed a smile.
"Of course, we were scoring so much that he had plenty of possessions" he said. "I'm not happy with how we played defensively, but I sure am glad we weren't facing our own offense today."

Some info here:
I've seen them discussed a bit on some of the various gun-related websites, but haven't seen any exhaustive tests yet. I handled one at a local shop; I liked some features but disliked others (such as the 180-degree safety lever and "fake" bolt catch). The price was a turn-off as well (they wanted $650).
Let us know how you like yours, how well it shoots, reliability, etc., once you get to shoot it a bit.
