Find a mechanic who is familiar with Yanmar, and follow the advice. I have a 25h.p. Universal Diesel with a huge warning sticker not to sail in forward gear. (No explanation) Also, very bold detail in the owners manual saying the same thing. What I do is Shut down the engine in forward gear, and leave if for a few seconds, to feather my max-prop. Once feathered, I shift to neutral. Regardless, know that it is a very important topic as far as transmissions are concerned. Visit marinedieseldirect.com to learn more. (Universal site, but you can learn some anyway) Good luck

Why don''t you take the prop off and be a real sailor.

I have a Yanmar 3Qm and when I talked to the yanmar tec rep about it he said to put it in reverse when sailing.

mack boring recccomends to put the engine in reverse when sailing.

I also have not seen a neutral saftey on small sailboats....2 & 3 cyl...but I always let my prop freewheel...my last boat for 15 years...sailed to bermuda, bahamas, florida, carolinas...never had a problem with the trany...I went to the N.Y. boat show and Atlantic City boat show(2001)...The Yanmar Factory Reps and their dealers said it is OK to freewheel...won''t hurt tranny...I do feel when prop is locked it creates more drag and water disturbance pass the rudder(air bubbles and such) giving less control...In my racing I find when I lock it, my speed goes down...I lock it several times in different positions but lose speed...

None of what I posted was intended as a flame. While I disagree with genreal applicability of the points that you make I am not questioning that what you discribe may be true for some of the boats out there and certainly may be true for the boats that you are familiar with. I must admit that most of my diesel experience has been with European engines (Buhk, and Volvos), I have also worked on Graymarines, AT4''s and Universal Blue Jackets, Perkins and Westebekes. I have never seen a nuetral lock out sensor on any of these engines. My limited time onboard IP''s never exposed me to their engine bays.
I apologize if my comments hit you as being a personal attack. It was in no way intended to be that. I solely wanted to point out that transmission coolers and neutral sensors are a rarity in small sailboats rather than the norm.
In Gear
I send my first message on this board and I''m flamed. What arrogance and from someone with so little experience admits to having never seen a neutral safety switch. In case he (and you) are interested, neutral safety switches are as much a part of engine systems as fuel filters. In fact the entire fleet of Island Packets have one, mine included, they are an intregal part of the shift mechanism. Shirt, my previous, 1982 S-2 had one installed. Anyway, and this is my last word on the subject, your engine is no doubt a Yanmar 3GM, and if so, put it in reverse when the sails are up and not motorsailing, IMHO, and that of the entire Yanmar engineering team.
In Gear
Actually, Jim, none of that is true for many if not most sailboat engines. By that I mean most sailboat transmissions are not "cooled" by anything related to the engine.(In fact all that I have ever owned or worked on were not cooled by the main engine cooling system) Some are lubricated by shaft driven pump that is driven by the engine input shaft. Others are simply "splash" lubricated. Splash lubrication is by far the most common form of lubrication on small sailboat transmissions. Most splash lubed trannys can be allowed to freewheel without burning up.
Also I have yet to run into boat with a marine engine that has a switch that requires you to start in nuetral. They may be out there, and you may in fact own one, but I have never seen one.
BUT is freewheeling a good idea? NO. even if the transmission doesn''t burn up it does increase wear and tear on the transmission parts and besides freewheeling creates more drag.
In Gear
The drag dynamics aside, the transmission gets its cooling from the engines cooling system, no engine, no cooling and bad for your tranny. Put it in reverse and keep it there when sailing with the engine off. On caveat though is the possibility of it locking under extreme pressure, to avoid this potential when sailing at hull speed make sure that the transmission switch that usually requires that you start the engine in neutral is disabled, this way if you are unable to get it back into neutral you can always start the engine and save the day.

I just spent two days last week attending the fifteenth Chesapeake Sailing Yacht Symposium (CSYS). There was a room full of some of the world''s best yacht designers and researchers. There was a lot of information flowing. I tried to get some answers to some of the common issues that have been discussed on various BB''s either from the lectures or in discussions with presenters and yacht design professionals.
One of the papers dealt with a simplified VPP (velocity prediction program) written on Excel and designed as tool for quick analysis of varying designs. In the follow up discussion members of the audience questioned the use of the particular coefficients of drag for propellers as presented in recent testing results. Practical Sailor had published one such study performed at MIT that suggested that a free wheeling propeller had less drag than a locked propeller. These results were roundly questioned by design professionals who had worked in the field of propeller design. After this discussion I had the opportunity to discuss this issue with a Professor of Mechanical Engineering teaching Naval Architecture and whose students had actually performed the same type of tests as the MIT students. His results are very different than those presented in the MIT study. Here''s what I came away with in this conversation. (I also had the chance to discuss this with a number of other people in the field this includes inf from the general trends of this discussion.)
4 or more bladed, steeply pitched, propellers such as used on big ships, typically have less drag when permitted to free wheel than when they are locked up. This occurs because of the small incident angle of the water flow on the blades (therefore they are not stalled out) and the comparatively small amount of rotational friction of the propeller shaft and bearing when compared to the large amount of drive generated by the blades.
In the case of Sailboat propellers, the pitch is quite flat and so the blades are generally in a partially stalled condition when they are allowed to freewheel. This is even more pronounced when friction is applied to the shaft and the blades are turning slower than the flow of water passing over them. In this circumstance the propeller produces a ball of turbulent water. This ball of water generally has a greater drag than a locked prop. This professor explained the MIT results by saying that the MIT study actually used a propeller that was powered at equal speed as the water to replicate a freewheeling state and so had a very low drag. In his study they allowed the propeller to actually free wheel and then applied increased friction to the shaft measuring the resultant drag. His study concluded that there was more drag in the freewheeling prop than the fixed one. He went on to add that the differences between locked and freewheeling were much smaller in a three-bladed prop than a two-bladed one.
I also had confirmed in later conversation that prop position was found to have a real effect. A two-bladed prop locked in the vertical position and a three-bladed locked with one blade vertical in the down position had substantially less drag than the same props in other points of rotation.
We discussed the idea of using the freewheeling prop to generate electricity. He indicted that in terms of drag this was the worst condition because the partially constrained shaft would produce the greatest drag. Apparently, the propellers designed for water driven generators are specifically designed to have a minimal drag using blades with a very large pitch.
Conclusion: You give up a fair amount of speed if you permit your prop to freewheel. You loose more speed free spinning a two-bladed prop than a three bladed prop but loose the most speed with a partially constrained three-bladed prop.

text: NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- If you've always dreamed of driving a Ferrari, Lamborghini or Aston Martin, now's your chance to get behind the wheel of one of without shelling out hundreds of thousands of dollars to own it. Hertz ( HTZ), the world's largest general use airport car rental company, has just announced the launch of Hertz Dream Cars, a line of ultra-high-end performance cars. The company's rentable collection includes Audis, Bentleys, the Ferrari F430, the SRT Viper, Tesla ( TSLA) Model S and Lamborghini Gallardo, among others. They rent for between $1,500 and $2,700 a day. Also see: How the Rich Are Traveling in 2013>> "We thought, why don't we spice up the fleet with cars people would aspire to?" says Hertz's Paul Sheldon, vice president of rent a car operations. That line of thinking is paying off. Not only has the company rented several hundred dream cars since launching the program in June; one couple actually bought a Ferrari after renting one, Sheldon says. "A husband and wife in Phoenix rented one and upon return asked where they are for sale so they could go buy one," Sheldon continues. "And we found out later they did buy it. It's not everyday you hear that kind of story." As you can imagine, the dream cars are not available at all Hertz locations. The company rolled out the program at 35 sites based on geographic studies of car ownership, Sheldon says, going to cities where there was already a significant level of ownership of such high-end vehicles.

Katia was glowing in the Nino Rota theme from Romeo & Juliet with Kenny G - Katia using all the grace and delicacy that she can bring - gorgeous. Joannie was fantastic - that woman has the deepest edges for a singles skater and it makes a big difference. The AHA moment for me was Miki Ando. She is often described as distant or unemotional - not so here! Two gorgeous and emotional programs with the standout being "You Must Love Me" (she told me afterward that the musical and stunning choreography was by Kenji Miyamoto) which was heartrending and magnificent - I hope it translates on to the TV screen the way we saw it in the arena. Kurt, Ryan, everyone gave it everything and it was very 'committed' all around. Very worth tuning in for.

Discussion in 'Football, Baseball, and Hockey' started by OLD SKOOL HQ, Apr 1, 2008.
Yeah, like the poster before me said, release him. I wasn't proposing a trade.
Rodney sucked, but Leyland set him up for failure in knowing how he has blown games recently. First Rodney walked the leadoff man, then he hit the next guy in the sternum (that was scary and had to hurt like hell!). Leyland should have yanked him right then...but nooooo. Anybody have a count of how many times the Tigers have walked in the winning run this season? It seems like it's been at least 4 or 5 times.
A little bright spot on the otherwise grim situation: The Sports Network - Major League Baseball
I don't know what it is they get their 1 World Series look and it's by-by for 15 years. Sparky couldn't even get it done but once. Got punked the next year in the P/Os and was never heard from again. And it was the same team. Talk about lack of hunger. - P.S. 1 great player doesn't ruin a whole team.
The 87 team was good...best record in MLB. I was at the Friday night game of the season's last series against division-leading Toronto...the Tigers swept em that weekend to get to the ALCS. Alas, they lost to the Twinkies who went on to win the World Series. That weekend was the last great baseball to be played in Tiger Stadium...which is currently being demolished Elizabeth Conley/The Detroit NewsThe left field was the most recent part to be taken down at Tiger Stadium in Detroit on Sunday, July 27, 2008. Sad... News Photo Gallery - Tiger Stadium demolition - The Detroit News Online
The Sports Network - Major League Baseball I'd love to believe it, but can't at this point. Now it's the "show me" time. They've been too mediocre for too long. I have to admit, I haven't heard anything on this. I wonder that it is coming out of the national media, not local sources.
I'm going to the game tonight. This is a "must win" game.
Take some pix. And, most of all, enjoy the game. Hopefully Tigers can give you a good show. Although, with Robertson on the mound, I don't know if it's possible.
Yeah, Robertson doesn't inspire confidence lately. I'm prepared to be disappointed. I'll try to remember to take a camera so that I can chronicle the last real game of the season.
By the way, Tay, how was the flight from China? http://www.pistonsforum.com/detroit-pistons-general-discussion/8869-tayshaun-china.html
WDFN just reported (via Tom Gage in Chicago) that Zumaya is the new closer and that 'Rodney will be moved to another role'
It's about time! Screw closer mindset. I want a closer who can strike out the side with the bases loaded.
True closers don't load the bases in the first place
My fantasy scenario above assumes that the bases were loaded due to the previous pitcher or several errors. Of course true closers never load the bases.
Just ask Todd Jones...
Tied 6-6 going into the 10th. Leyland should be fired whether or not we win this game.
Why should Leyland get fired? He's playing with the deck he was dealt by Dombrowski. They took a gamble and lost, nothing wrong with that. You don't know what you have until you take that chance. And Tigers actually go up 8-6 in the 14th on the second homer of the game by Polanco.
He shoulda pulled Nate after he struggled to get out of the 5th...but no. He pulled Seay mid-inning in the 8th while he was pitching fine and put in Farnsworth who proceeded to give up another homer. Leyland's lost his marbles.
The entire team stinks. New closer gives up 4 runs to lose the game. I think I should just forget about them for a couple of years.
Well he surely closed the game tonight giving up four runs in the 14th after the tigers score two in the top of the 14th...This team is done....Nate gets a 4 run lead in the first and then the relievers give up HR after HR to eventually tie it and then Swisher dooms them in the end.. This time I am really done with them... Blame this seasons douldrums on the pitching and the manager....

Tony Romo is now the highest-paid player in Cowboys history. He agreed to a six-year, $108 million contract extension on Friday that will last through his age-39 season. The extension includes $55 million guaranteed and a $25 million signing bonus. The deal also saved Dallas $5 million in salary-cap space, dropping Romo's number for this season from $16.8 to $11.8 million.
Romo set a career high in passing yards last year with 4,903.
Fantasy Analysis:
I'm sure many Cowboys fans think this contract is totally outrageous for a quarterback who, in their minds, will never be seen as successful until he wins a Super Bowl or three. But for fantasy, Romo is a consistently solid QB. He has thrown for more than 4,000 yards in each of his last four full seasons, and he has topped 25 touchdowns in five of the past six seasons. Plus, he is surrounded by a ton of talent.
Quarterback is incredibly deep this season, to the point that Romo is barely a top-12 player at that position. His inability to run puts him at a disadvantage in today's NFL, but Romo is pretty much money in the bank. His home fans will continue to agonize over his season-killing interceptions; you can deal with it if he nears 5,000 yards with 30 touchdowns.

Tucson, Ariz. • Utah's gymnastics team has a new clutch performer on the balance beam. With the meet hanging on Mary Beth Lofgren's ability to conquer the four-inch-wide beam, Utah's junior delivered a 9.9 routine Friday to lead the No. 8 Utes to a 196.6-196.075 win over the No. 13 Arizona Wildcats.
After teammate Georgia Dabritz fell, Lofgren knew she had to hit for the Utes to win.
Under more pressure than she can remember, Lofgren tied her career high on the balance beam. Lofgren worked the balance beam like it was four feet wide and not four inches wide.
"It was a little nerve-wracking after Georgia fell," Lofgren said. "I just tried to focus on having fun and fight off any nerves."
The routine was just enough to hold off the Wildcats (6-4), who trailed the whole meet but came within tenths of beating the Utes (4-1) after big efforts on the uneven bars and floor.
"I thought we started the meet and finished it looking a little tight and nervous," Utah coach Greg Marsden said. "They were good, but they just weren't as good as we were at home."
Lofgren showed no nerves in her role as anchor. Lofgren held the same spot a year ago, but competed with newfound confidence Friday.
"She had a great meet all the way through the night," Marsden said. "It was by far the best of the season for her."
Lofgren's clutch performance overshadowed some of the other standout performances for the Utes. Tory Wilson won her third vault title in a row with a 9.95, and Corrie Lothrop won the all-around with a season-best 39.4.
That the meet came down to the final routine was a little surprising, given the way the Utes started. While Marsden felt the team was tight on the uneven bars, the scores didn't reflect such anxiety with the Utes scoring a 49.175.
Hometown girl Kassandra Lopez made the most of her lone routine Friday, scoring a 9.8 to lead off the Utes. Others followed with solid routines, giving the Utes a 49.175-48.9 edge after the first rotation. Utah maintained its lead throughout and led by a comfortable 147.775-147.025 going into the final event.
The cushion the Utes had quickly diminished after Becky Tutka had a bobble and scored 9.575. Georgia Dabritz, who has been a rock on the balance beam this year, fell and scored only 9.275.
That mistake opened the door for the Wildcats, who were posting scores of 9.775 and higher on the floor.
The outcome came down to Lofgren, who was smiling and joking with teammates seconds before she went up and won the meet for the Utes.
"We put her in that role last year and she had some nerves where I think she felt the pressure," Marsden said. "But this time she looked confident."
Happy with the way Lofgren and other individuals performed, Marsden said the Utes still have some work to do, as witnessed by some of the shaky routines.
"It's another step forward in the process, but if we want to compete among the best, we have to compete with confidence all the way through," he said.
Utah 196.6, Arizona 196.075
O In short • The Utes beat the Wildcats to remain undefeated in the series, which dates back to 1976.
Key moment • Junior Mary Beth Lofgren scores a 9.9 on the balance beam to seal the win for the Utes.
Key stat • Tory Wilson wins her third vault title in a row, scoring 9.95.
Individual winners
Vault • Tory Wilson (Utah): 9.95
Uneven bars • Aubree Cristello (Arizona) and Georgia Dabritz (Utah): 9.875
Balance beam • Mary Beth Lofgren (Utah): 9.9
Floor • Becky Tutka (Utah): 9.9
All-around • Corrie Lothrop (Utah): 39.4

My son and myself hangin out
HEY its me from YOUtube!!!!!!!!!!
glad you actually came here
hey.. cool site. :) thanks again !!!
You pull off the Rubies suit very well!!
yeah he does actually
I tried :) thanks.. It was good enough for the newspaper. EP 3 premiere in DE
Are you planning to upgrade to a more professional suit?
Absolutely :) I would love to updgrade.
Well you've found the perfect website to learn how to get a professional quality Fett!!
Howdy there and welcome to TDH! As others have said, you've come to the right place if you're looking for a professional :jango.
I gotta say your son is lucky to be part of a father-son-:fettrotj-:jango-team right there. I've seen a few pop up here and there ... and I can just say :fettrotj is just so darn lucky to be a part of it!:thumbsup
I'm working on it... Here are some pics of our helmets (Jangos not finished)... Also, if you wanna upgrade from the Rubies, I can give ya some tips on making a complete childs Boba costume for just under $200. Actually, it'd be cheaper for you since you already have a helmet, and you could cut the belts off of the Rubies and use those too. Just send me a PM if you need any info.
The TK in the pic isn't me BTW, its my cousin. My Jango won't be finished until around April or May. I'm currently doing a repaint on the kids jet pack to match the SE theme. The jet pack is also included in that $200 that I mentioned. Super easy stuff to do.
So COOL :). So much details in these costumes. Where should I start ? Any good link in this site that would guide me step by step ?
I can hold your hand for it... lol... I replied to your PM, BTW. I'll walk you through everything as you go. First thing is to get started prepping your sons Rubies helmet.
The only thing that you will need to buy for it is a new visor which can be had for $10 from http://t-visor.com/
The visor is already sized for the Rubies/DP helmets... So you shouldn't have to do anything to it for fitting.
Also you could pick up some small bottles of testors paint at like wal-mart for a little over a dollar, and add some topical damage to that puppy for more detail. Thats if you dont want to repaint the sucker.Cheap, but can work wonders for appearance. T-visor.com has excellent visors, I have one in my helmet.

Regeneration News
Bracknell town centre regeneration
Bracknell Town Centre is entering an exciting stage in its evolution. The redevelopment plans include new homes, shops, leisure facilities and landscaped public spaces. Further news will be announced by the Bracknell Regeneration Partnership (BRP), owned 50/50 by Schroders and Legal & General, over the coming months - so keep checking this website for the latest information.
The new Waitrose store has been a huge success and with Romans new offices due for completion in November 2012, there is no doubt that the long awaited regeneration is gaining some real momentum.
In the South, Princess Square will be undergoing some signification improvements early in 2013. In addition, planning approval has been granted to transform the main entrance and introduce a larger retail space.
A Section 73 planning application has also been submitted which, in essence, changes a few planning details like the uses or configuration of the original planning application for the northern part of the town centre.
To make the regeneration happen as quickly as possible, we are looking at a phased approach, with the northern part of the scheme being built first.
The Bracknell Regeneration Partnership is working on detailed plans which show how the buildings will look. We have a celebrated consultant's team working hard on technical specifications, finishes, landscaping, public realm, sustainability and all the other major things involved in producing a scheme of this scale.
Once these are submitted we will hold a public exhibition so that local residents and businesses can easily view the latest designs.
Following the recent public exhibition on the proposed plans for the northern area of the town centre, images can now be found on the Regeneration Exhibition page.
The new Waitrose food store, located between Millennium Way and Bond Way, was opened in November 2011. The 3,345 sq metres, supermarket includes 240 car parking spaces car park for shoppers.
The store is significantly larger than other Waitrose stores in Wokingham, Sunningdale and Sandhurst who have sales areas of 2,247 sq metres, 1,451 sq metres and 1,753 sq metres respectively. Service includes fresh service counters, its scan as you shop service, Waitrose Quick Check and its online shopping service, Waitrose Deliver. There is also a small coffee shop offering approximately 65 covers.
The store incorporates both contemporary design with natural materials i.e. a feature curved roof, a Hedera Ivy wall and sustainable timber panels. A 'green roof' will reduce the amount of rain that runs off the roof, provide a safe habitat for wildlife and reduce the need for air conditioning or heating. Existing landscaping is enhanced by the planting of hedges, shrubs, grasses, clumbers and trees
The new Waitrose store has achieved a BREEAM (Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method) 'Excellent' rating for the new store - 100% of the store's electricity will come from green sources and the latest refrigeration technology will help reduce the store's carbon footprint by 20%.
Cycle paths are proposed to the south side of the scheme running to the BR station and the store will be a unique Waitrose design with an entrance facing towards the town centre to fully integrate the store into the regeneration as a whole.
Cineworld set to come to Bracknell
BRP has agreed a pre-let to the UK's number one cinema chain by box office, Cineworld, for a 12-screen, 41,500 sq ft cinema on a key site in the north of Bracknell's town centre on a 25 year lease.
The cinema will have 12 screens and the latest with 3D technology. The building has been carefully designed to integrate closely with new retail and car parking provisions, as well as providing the most up to date technology and the highest quality of customer experience.
Cineworld, which already operates 79 cinemas across the UK and Ireland, is one of the market leaders in 3D and is committed to improving the customer experience, including by innovation. In March 2012, Cineworld became the first cinema operator in the UK that does not charge its customers a booking fee and gave the added benefit of a 10% reduction for all on-line bookings made via its innovative MyCineworld portal.
This latest agreement forms part of BRP's drive to secure key pre-lets in order to bring forward the redevelopment of the northern element of Bracknell Town Centre and follows the successful completion of the Waitrose.
Marks & Spencer is coming to town
The Bracknell Regeneration Partnership is delighted to announce that it has signed a pre-let to Marks & Spencer (M&S) for an 80,000 sq ft store on a key site in the north of Bracknell town centre on a 25 year lease.
The new M&S store will be arranged over two levels. The store will be located immediately adjacent to Millenium Way, in sight of Waitrose and the recently announced 12-screen Cineworld cinema.
The site, which forms part of the comprehensive redevelopment of the northern part of the town centre, will be surrounded not only by a significant critical mass of new retailers but also by a collection of family orientated restaurants. This will provide a significant boost to Bracknell's evening economy.
Princess Square shopping centre
Princess Square has planning permission to remove the existing entrance canopy and reclad the front of the building including new signage and doors.
The shopping centre will also receive a face list with new ceilings and lighting. In addition the customer lifts are also being replaced.
Other regeneration news:
Winchester House is owned by Comer Homes. Plans were exhibited last December for a proposed 50m development.
The scheme consists of a 19-storey block of 311 flats, a gym and two business units suitable for a restaurant or retail use.
The architects behind the plan, Skidmore, Owings and Merrill, designed the Infinity Tower in Dubai.
Romans estate agents is now open in a new 1,700 sq ft branch office on The Ring, opposite The Old Manor House pub. This has replaced their old building on The Broadway which will be demolished to make way for the regeneration.
To help pave the way for regeneration, Thames Valley Berkshire Local Enterprise Partnership has announced they will be providing £1.5million of Growing Places Funds for infrastructure works and refurbishment of the bus station. Improving the transport infrastructure is an important part of this regeneration scheme.

Creating Paths to College and the Urgency of Now
Oct 29, 2013
by Rhonda Tsoi-A-Fatt Bryant
(cross-posted from PhilanTopic)
I was a STEM whiz as a child - a seemingly unlikely thing for a girl, and an African-American girl at that, to be. In middle school, I attended a magnet program and learned computer programming while taking advanced math and science classes. In high school, I took calculus and physics and learned a computer programming language. My primary interest was engineering, so my school district helped me attend summer programs at area universities. That experience landed me a job at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration at the age of 17.
Although I chose public policy instead of engineering as my life's work, those were the opportunities that put me on a path to college. My middle school and high school offered classes that nurtured my interests in mathematics and science. I had great teachers who used hands-on learning to take basic lessons to the next level. I remember our physics teacher explaining the science behind breaking boards martial arts-style and wading in the Chesapeake River in hip-high boots to learn about plant life. I also had guidance counselors who knew me personally, connected me to summer opportunities that allowed me to cultivate my academic interests, and walked me through the college application process. My family couldn't afford to pay for college. Without these opportunities, it would have been far more difficult to continue my education.
Unfortunately, most low-income African American and Hispanic children cannot access the kinds of transformative educational opportunities necessary to put them on a path to college and, eventually, out of poverty and into the middle class. Nationally, only 65 percent of high schools with the highest enrollments of African-American and Hispanic students offer algebra II, compared to 82 percent of low-minority high schools. An analysis of the nation's fifty largest school districts reveals that while African-American boys comprise 16 percent of the high school population, they account for only 12 percent of the enrollment in physics courses and 7 percent of the enrollment in calculus courses. Youth of color also have fewer experienced teachers in their classrooms. In the fifty largest school districts in the U.S., 15 percent of the teacher workforce in high schools with large minority populations is either a first- or second-year teacher, compared to 11 percent in high schools with low minority populations. While new teachers often bring innovative methods and ideas into the classroom, more experienced teachers generally are better classroom managers and are able to more effectively facilitate higher-order thinking skills and their meaningful application, leading to better outcomes for students. In these same districts, there are fewer high school counselors to help students navigate school successfully and prepare for postsecondary opportunities. Without sufficient school counselors to guide students on a path to college readiness, young people may flounder in lower-level courses that lead nowhere. This is particularly true for students of color and low-income students, who historically have not matriculated as frequently as their white and more affluent peers. READ MORE>>

On Saturday, November 24th, 2012, at about 12:31 AM, the Waterloo Police Department, Waterloo Fire Department, Seneca County Sheriff's Office, Seneca Falls Police Department and The New York State Police responded to a report of a hit and run accident on East Elizabeth Street where the male driver fled from the scene after hitting several (8) parked vehicles.
During the investigation into the accident by the Waterloo Police, it was determined the driver of the vehicle was Paul J. Kesterston, age 23, of Waterloo. Kesterson was located by NYS Police in the area of Hecker Road and transported back to the scene where he was detained by the Waterloo Police Department. At the conclusion of the investigation, Kesterson was arrested for driving while intoxicated, driving with a .08% blood alcohol content, leaving the scene of a property damage accident, unreasonable speed, failed to keep right, unsafe backing, driving without a license and aggravated unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle.
Kesterson was arraigned in the Village of Waterloo Court and held in the Seneca County Correctional Facility on $5000.00 bail. He is to reappear at a later date to answer to the charges.

The Colts have announced that running back Ahmad Bradshaw won't play Sunday against the Jaguars. Bradshaw suffered a neck injury in Week 3 and didn't practice at all this week. It means that Trent Richardson will be the team's bell-cow running back versus Jacksonville.
In other Colts news, wide receiver T.Y. Hilton was spotted wearing a walking boot on Friday, and he skipped the day's practice. However, Hilton is listed as probable on the injury report and is expected to play this weekend. Head coach Chuck Pagano said Hilton's inactivity on Friday was just a choice by the team to "err on the side of caution."
Fantasy Analysis:
Richardson is now a low-end RB1 this week. He is going to see at least 20 touches against a pathetic defense. You should expect a huge game from him.
Although Hilton is going to play, I can't endorse him as strongly as I would like to with such a good matchup on the horizon. Hilton played through a groin injury last week, and now there is something wrong with his foot. Much like in Week 3, his snaps may be limited on Sunday. He's nothing more than a WR3.

You don't need to be a fine woodworker to sit in a chair. An inability to precisely construct an angled mortise and tenon joint does not preclude you from resting your feet. Similarly the time is rapidly approaching where you won't need to be a marketing scientist to deploy analytics. Ignorance of neural networks will no longer impede your ability to use them to improve a campaign. The democratization of predictive modeling or other trends involving the intersection of customer analytics and marketing technology is much of what I will cover for Forrester Research.
In my new role as a senior analyst I look forward to helping Customer Insight professionals increase marketing and business returns through becoming more intelligent enterprises. This might involve guiding clients on technology decisions, organizational strategy, or benchmarking to their peers. What topics would you like to see me cover?


text: Protect your voice in deciding health care coverage Email your State Senator The MTA and other public-sector unions are willing to do our part to help reduce the cost of municipal health insurance during the current fiscal crisis. We have offered millions of dollars in savings to Massachusetts cities and towns. To ensure that the process is fair to everyone, we have proposed an expedited collective bargaining process. In April, the House voted to change how health insurance coverage is decided for municipal employees by allowing cities and towns to make unilateral decisions about coverage – without collective bargaining. This restructuring could mean higher co-pays and deductibles for retirees on fixed incomes, people with chronic illnesses and working families. It could hit those who are vulnerable the hardest unless their unions have a real voice and can negotiate protections for those who need it most. It's not too late to act. The Senate will consider municipal health insurance very soon. Ask your senator to do the right thing: to protect affordable health care by ensuring that educators, firefighters, police and other municipal employees have a real say in their coverage.

The Canisius College indoor track team will continue its season on Saturday, when the Griffs travel to the Spire Institute in Geneva, Ohio for the Spire North Coast Indoor Track and Field Open.
Canisius is fresh off the RIT Tiger Invitational last week, which saw a pair of Griffs take the top spot in events for the first time since the addition of the program this winter.
Sophomore Cooper Roach took home first place in the 1000-meter run with a time of 2:32.60. Senior Catherine Phillips also placed first in an event, winning the 1-mile run (5:16.11).
"The team is really starting to get into seeing the progression through the meets," said head coach Nate Huckle. "We're able to get out and hit an indoor track once a week and really progress through the early season, which wouldn't happen had we not had this opportunity. They're improving and we've got a couple people who are on the verge of some records, so there's really an excitement on the team where they're seeing the results and seeing the progress, so they're starting to look forward to the MAAC Championships."
The Griffs will now head to the Spire Institute at 10 a.m. Saturday.
"This is a really good experience for us," Huckle said. "It's one of the best facilities in the country. It's a 300-meter track where as most are between 160 and 200-meters. So our athletes are looking forward to some good performances on the wider corners to really set us up for refining things in the next two weeks at Brockport."

Poelmans Steals the Show on Day Two of Horizon League Meet
CHICAGO (GreenBayPhoenix.com) - Green Bay freshman Willem Poelmans (Hasselt, Belgium) made some noise in his first Horizon League Swimming & Diving Championships experience on Thursday, winning the 200-yard IM in record-breaking fashion at the UIC Flames Natatorium. The Phoenix men moved up a spot into fourth place following the second day of competition, while the women's squad remains in second, just 16 points behind first-place Cleveland State.
Poelmans finished the 200 IM with a blazing time of 1:49.06 in the finals, breaking the Horizon League record of 1:49.09 set by Cleveland State's Jakub Dobies in 2010. The time, which earned an NCAA B-cut, also shattered the 14-year-old Green Bay record of 1:52.67 set by Jens Sonntag in 1999. Poelmans also broke the school record in prelims earlier in the day, finishing with a time of 1:49.37.
The Phoenix also had success in the 200 IM on the women's side, as seniors Heather Bodin (Maple Grove, Minn.) and Megan Burley (Hazelhurst, Wis.) finished second and third behind Milwaukee junior standout Emily McClellan (2:00.49). Bodin grabbed the runner-up spot with a time of 2:03.34, while Burley was close behind in 2:04.67.
Junior Kendra Rottier (Green Bay, Wis.) followed up Wednesday night's win in the 1000 freestyle with a runner-up finish in the 500. Rottier finished with a season-best time of 4:55.80, less than three seconds behind champion Melanie Waszak (4:52.95) of UIC.
Senior Taylor Trelka (Sturgeon Bay, Wis.) also turned in a solid finish in the women's 50 free, placing fourth in 23.60.
On the men's 1-meter diving board, senior Mitchell Spaeth (Fredonia, Wis.) earned a fifth-place finish with a total of 276.45. Freshman Tanner Nordlund (Rice, Minn.) won the consolation finals for the Phoenix men, accumulating a score of 257.30.
The four-day meet at the Flames Natatorium continues on Friday with swimming prelims at 10:30 a.m. Live coverage of finals will be streamed live on the Horizon League Network beginning at 5:30 p.m. CT. Visit the 2013 Horizon League Championship Central page on GreenBayPhoenix.com for continuing coverage.

A recent case demonstrates how important it is to carefully consider what documentation to use in connection with allocation of the use of parking spaces. In Keane v. The President Condominium Association, Inc., the court sided with the association after it revoked a parking license.
Here the unit owner, Mr. Keane, paid the association $5,000 for an extra parking space. He thought he would have use of this extra parking space for as long as he was a unit owner. In fact, he may have been under the impression that the assignment was permanent, meaning he could transfer the use of the parking space to someone buying his unit.
He entered into an agreement with the association that granted him a license to use the space (the space itself was identified on an exhibit). The agreement said that Mr. Keane had a license for the use and benefit of the parking space and the license was to "run with the ownership of Unit 4A of the President Condominium and is specifically for use of the Owner subject to rules and regulations" of the association.
The parking space license was signed by the property manager on behalf of the association. Approximately ten years later, the association sent a letter notifying Mr. Keane the license was revoked. Mr. Keane filed a lawsuit claiming the association didn't have the right to take away his space, since he paid for the space and had an agreement that didn't seem to have an ending date.
What he didn't understand is that a license is different than a lease (which has a specific term) or an easement (which are usually perpetual). Licenses by their very nature are terminable at will and therefore the association had the right to revoke the use.
The court pointed out a narrow exception to this rule. If the unit owner had expended a large sum of money to permanently improve the parking space (constructing a carport may be an example), the decision may have gone his way. Mr. Keane paid for the license and was granted the use right for a considerable period of time, but since he didn't have a permanent assignment or lease agreement for a specific term, the association was deemed to have acted properly.

North Korea: Ready Artillery to Hit US Mainland

Sometimes I like to think that my mother-in-law would have enjoyed this blog. She was incredibly smart, innovative, clever, an amazing writer and mentor. She made you want to try almost anything to earn her respect. And there are so many times now when I would just like to tell her how things are going.
My mother-in-law had three daughters and a son. And three sons-in-law and one daughter-in-law. I remember her fondly calling me her favorite daughter-in-law. And I was never really sure what to think.
Which is how I felt while reading Sun's latest press release. The release touts an amazing new world record for the T5440. Exciting, right ?
But then I realized that the result is from almost six months ago. And the claim happens to be a world record on a "single node application server result" on the SPECjAppServer2004 benchmark. And then I realized that the claim is achieved because actually no other vendor has published a result running a single node with 32 cores.
Sort of like realizing that you are indeed the only daughter-in-law.

Sun Announces T5440 : "Performance on a Completely Different Curve"
Yesterday I took my five month old black lab puppy out to the country. We walked, we ran, and he swam for the very first time. As he was getting ready to plunge into the water, I was taken back to a day 15 years earlier with my previous dog. That dog got caught in the water weeds and never wanted to go swimming again.
And that reminded me of how I felt this morning after reading Sun's new announcement on the T5440.
Sun's performance claims span SAP, Oracle, and SPEC benchmarks. The only problem is that they are based on comparing Sun's new 32-core, 256 thread systems with other's 8-core, 16 thread systems.
In reality, if you just looked at even one comparison, in this case using SPECjbb2005, you would see that the IBM Power 570 is over 2 times the performance of Sun's new T5440.(1)
Sun also makes energy efficiency claims in this announcement. Note that Sun has yet to make a single publication on SPECpower_ssj2008, the only current industry standard benchmark for power/performance.
As Sun's executive vice president, Systems Group, is quoted as saying, yes, this is "performance on a completely different curve." A curve that throws itself underwater, getting tangled in the weeds.
(1) IBM Power 570 (4.2 GHz) SPECjbb2005 result running AIX V6.1 is the best 32-core system (1,390,087 business operations per sec (bops), 86,880 bops/JVM, 16 chips/32 cores/64 threads) vs. Sun SPARC Enterprise T5440: (4 chips, 32 cores, 256 threads) 692736 SPECjbb2005 bops, 21648 SPECjbb2005 bops/JVM.

Greeley Park again eyed for Legacy Playground
By KIMBERLY HOUGHTON
Union Leader Correspondent | August 25. 2013 9:20PM
Although the Board of Public Works is supporting Greeley Park, any major changes at the park would still need to be authorized by the Board of Aldermen, which will have the final say.
With more than $100,000 already raised to build Legacy Playground, organizers are hoping to have a location for the new play structure secured by the end of the summer.
"Their heart is set on Greeley Park," Lozeau said of the organizers. While Lozeau acknowledged she is unsure whether she will ultimately support the newest site proposal at Greeley Park, she stressed it is worth exploring.
She did note that the land near the grills would be convenient since trees would not have to be removed, and parking and restroom facilities are already available. If this site was selected, she suggested that the old playground equipment on the other side be taken down, drainage problems corrected and additional trees planted.
Commissioner Timothy Lavoie said he is also pleased with the idea. Commissioner Tracy Pappas was the only board member who did not support pursuing Greeley Park as the future home. She was hoping to see a layout of what the facility would look like at a different site within the city.
