When you're flat on your ass wondering why it is so quiet and wtf just happened...A big uniform with a gunbelt can be a very welcome sight. The bottom line is, cops are just mortals. Employees, in fact, not employers or masters. Some are good, some are bad, and if we want to make sure they are ALL good ones, someone has to step up and help take out the trash.
Someone mentioned to a troop safety office (State Troopers) in a class that cops used their red lights for donut runs, and he said "Not ours, and you won't do it either. If we catch someone making improper use of the red light, the first time he gets a ten day suspension without pay. The second time he gets a month off without pay. There is no third time."
Some outfits simply hold themselves to a higher standard than others.
When I was working commercially, the USCG have boarded the boats that I was on a few times. I was always curtious to them and they responded in kind. There is nothing like offering a cup of coffee or a soda to ease the tension of the situation. And the Harbor Police in fourchon LA boarded due to my having a medical problem and they expediated the ambulance to the pier. It was too stormy for life flight to take to the air...
So not all of us have had bad experiences with the LEOs. But for the five speeding tickets when I rode motorcycles... for some unknown reason the bike wouldn't travel under a hundred MPH.
But if you feel that you are being really dumped on... Then record the incident for evidence. Either by someone with a camera or with security cameras spotted in key places of your vessel. Actually both at the same time will work. Then if they ask or order that person to stop filming then those hidden security cameras will probably not be noticed...
Choose to believe Sully, or not. It was another example of Valousia County. If a couple of joints that have been reported by a third party. & was never found on the boat is okay to spends tens of thousands of dollars when a squad car will do. Then I am sure you are ok with granny & the butter knife.
I myself entering Govt. Cut in Miami by the C.G. Money disappeared from my nav station. Holes cut in my boat. good cop, bad cop they will imprison me if I don't confess. After 3 1/2 hours of BS I told them to get off the boat, or cuff me. They got off the boat, and first thing in the morning I called the commanding officer. They slammed my boat while I was dead in the water, so they could board in attack mode.
Kind of funny he knew exactly which person had which role. He chewed some butt, and later called me. Warned me I need to have all my bells & whistles in order. Reason being they would be looking for me, and any minor infraction of the law. Months llater when the saw me again coming into Govt. Cut. I was standing on one of the bows with my right hand in the air showing them my I.Q. extended from my right hand. Some people just don't know how to handle authority.
As typed many times here already. The officer who boarded for what ever reason. He should 've had everyone on deck before entering the cabin. He was way over the line of what should've been done. He should be fired, and then those behind him will act within reason.....i2f

Ok, I just revisited this thread after reading it up to date a week or two ago. Sully, as in Sean Sullivan, was the victim of the potty police?
I am sorry, that just made me laugh. Then it made me think of a guy I used to work with, that got hauled into jail for mouthing off to an officer. Then, his wife got jailed when she came to post bail. If you knew the guy, you would have understood that it was only a matter of time.
Surely in a country where LEOs carry weapons you can expect them to make use of them.Particularly in a state noted for its conservative right wing politics!
Even over here I once got pulled over by heavily armed Customs Officers who boarded me at speed from a RIB
Whats the problem-or is it because you are like me white male middle class caucasian? and it doesnt happen to us.
I say this because my brothers partner happens to be ex pat male Cuban who was brought up in Florida and despite his families high status in Florida is often pulled over at gun point for minor traffic violations! because he looks Cuban;Mexican call it what you will!
|Well put Minnewaska ....
"IF" the police boarded the boat, unannounced, unprovoked, with weapons drawn, it was totally inappropriate and culpable. The question is whether we know enough about what actually happened.
"IF" they boarded first, asked for everyone to come above deck, were given lip and someone below was rummaging around and refusing to come out, that is very different. They may have boarded for a honey locker inspection, but would have no idea what they might have stumbled upon.
Many LEOs have been shot after pulling someone over for speeding.
The point is, we don't really know all the facts. The OPs rendition has some overselling in it, which makes me suspicious. The second vicitim has been documented as a real hot head, which makes me suspicious. The fact that southern LEOs have the reputation of harassing out of state residents, has me suspicious. The fact that there are environmental activists that are probably giggling at our outrage, has me suspicious. The fact that municipalities need the money, has me suspicious.
The whole thing stinks. Hey, good pun?

For a holding tank violation, the worst outcome is a fine. For a drug arrest, the worst outcome is jail, so one might expect the later to be more confrontational. I certainly understand the over reaction you describe, but if they were operating with a tip that this was a more significant drug dealer, I don't think I would just wander in unprepared either.
If your point is that a couple of joints of pot should not be a crime, you have to fault the lawmakers that wrote the laws like this. The police are expected to enforce them as written. That same principal applies to their right to board your boat when they please. For those about to flame on, please separate the reportedly inappropriate method they've used from the right they have to come aboard in the first place.
All this anger and frustration should be focused at those that wrote the laws this way.

I'm doing an ROTJ Boba
I'm torn between the 2 helmets
should I do an ESB or ROTJ helmet?
I'm doing an ROTJ Boba
I'm torn between the 2 helmets
should I do an ESB or ROTJ helmet?
I have always like the ESB. To me it has more detail to it than ROTJ. Or solve the problem and have both helmets. Then switch when ever you want.
Check this out...
Both (thats what i'm doing)
don't misunderstand,
Of course I will eventually do both helmets
I need this one for CIV (78 days)
If you're short for time and want to be accurate then ROTJ is obviously the way to go as that's the version you're going for anyway. Leave the ESB for when you have more time to concentrate on the better Boba!!
Im on a very similar schedule if I were you, Id do ROTJ and in the future, as time allows, work on doing an ESB helmet.
If you want the easy quicker way out ----ROTJ
If you want the more rewarding way and IMO more attractive helmet--ESB
I know you will make the right choice
Just do the SE Fett for awhile later you can do a ROTJ. God knows you have enough buckets to do every version
ESB with ESB --- I love it
RotJ with RotJ ---
RotJ with ESB --- (SE) ¡%/!$"%
Judging by time issues..ROTJ is less painting.
Well, they both in essence have same main colors...diff ear cap colors though. But, ROTJ, as far as painting the battle damage, it's 99% silver battle damage.
But, I'm more toward ESB.
I did my SGT Fang helm main painting in a matter of a few hours from scratch. Give or take another couple hours of hand painting any other details. And that was doing the ESB sytle, I do have another thread of what the helm looks like, have to take the finished pics as soon as I get the decals on it.
ACTUALLY...depending on how far along on the entire costume you are, an ESB costume would be the quicker way to go. While the helmet may be more involved the rest of the costume is less involved as far as painting, scrapes, and scratches. But if you are down to only the helmet, ROTJ will be a quicker way to go.
here's my Progress
Then paint it ROTJ! Everyone and their brother's paints theirs SE ESB. Stand out in the crowd.
i would say paint it ROTJ if you have time constraints and are going to do an ESB later anyway.
that was hard for me to say as an esb
rotj suckah! red kill stripes ftw!
Looks like you already made up your mind, but as Mr. Fett said. I'ld go with ROTJ. "There are soooooooo many ESB's out there, Just as there are ROTJ's Vader's", but ROTS is catching up Fast!!!!" That's why I've decided to go with ANH Vader and ROTJ Fett. Of course you could switch up the Buckets and know one would now the differance "Hey Mommy It's a Power Ranger " Like that Babba Fett there Pal. C
Thanx alot for the input guys.
Here's tonites progress
can you tell which path I chose?
Dont be afraid to go darker on some of the colors. Keep in mind that the color you see in the MOM pics are with flash so to the normal eye the colors appear darker then in the pics.
the pics above are with flash, (no weathering either)
It does look darker in person
Nice work so far!
You've chosen wisely!
I think the board needs a profile mod. A section where you can just list which helmet you prefer and why
Someday I will paint up an ESB bucket just for the experience, but I'll never[*] troop that way!
[*] At Dragoncon I did put on Jango Fett Jr's helmet for a moment. So there does exist a Special Edition version of me out there.

Over the past months server vendors have been announcing benchmark results for systems incorporating Intel's high-end x86 CPU, the E7, with HP trumping all existing benchmarks with their recently announced numbers (although, as noted in x86 Servers Hit The High Notes, the results are clustered within a few percent each other). HP recently announced new performance numbers for their ProLiant DL980, their high-end 8-socket x86 server using the newest Intel E7 processors. With up to 10 cores, these new processors can bring up to 80 cores to bear on large problems such as database, ERP and other enterprise applications.
The performance results on the SAP SD 2-Tier benchmark, for example, at 25160 SD users, show a performance improvement of 35% over the previous high-water mark of 18635. The results seem to scale almost exactly with the product of core count x clock speed, indicating that both the system hardware and the supporting OS, in this case Windows Server 2008, are not at their scalability limits. This gives us confidence that subsequent spins of the CPU will in turn yield further performance increases before hitting system of OS limitations. Results from other benchmarks show similar patterns as well.
Key takeaways for I&O professionals include:

Afterr sixteen momths in prison without any charges being filed, two young Egyptian Christians were finally released. Their crime was to assist a Muslim woman who converted from her faith to Christianity. It is almost impossible for Egytians converting to Christianity to have their ID cards changed as the conversion is considered apostasy in the Muslim country. Without ID cards, Egyptians cannot apply for jobs, buy property, open bank accounts or register their children in school. Wael Aziz and Rumani Fuad forged an identiy card for the woman so she could be able to function in the ordinary affairs of Egyptian society.
Hossam Bahgat, of the Egyptian Initiative for Personal Rights(EIPR), argued: "Any person criminally convicted for having obtaine forged identity documents soley because of the government's refusal to allow them to identify themselves as converts from Islam should be exonerated."
What can one say, but Mr. Bahgat is absolutely correct.

Jawaharial Nehru was a great leader of India whose Socialist background placed him in the forefront of fighting to end discrimination and hatred. He desired to find a way to bridge Muslim and Hindu differences but was unsuccessful. His grandson lives at a different time in a different India and supposedly he told right wing Hindus, that all Muslims should be sent to Pakistan. The recording captures him saying, "all the Hindus stay on this side and send the others to Pakistan." He then is seen making a gesture and saying that after the election, the right wing Baharatiya Janata Party (BJP) "will cut their throats." Avrun Ganhdi claims the recording was doctored and he never said the words. "These are not my words, this is not my voice. I am a Gandhi, a Hindu and an Indian in equal measure."
The question he did not answer is why he was giving a talk before members of a right wing nationalist group which has a record of anti-Muslim actions. If his goal was reconciliation and peace with Muslims, why did he speak before the BJP?

Joshua Lederberg and Norton Zinder report on transduction, or transfer of genetic information to cells by viruses. They show that a phage of Salmonella typhimurium can carry DNA from one bacterium to another.

Alfred Hershey and Martha Chase suggest that only DNA is needed for viral replication. Using radioactive isotopes 35S to track protein and 32P to track DNA, they show that progeny T2 bacteriophage isolated from lysed bacterial cells have the labeled nucleic acid. Further, most of the labeled protein doesn't enter the cells but remains attached to the bacterial cell membrane.

Peter Mitchell proposes the chemiosmotic theory, in which a molecular process is coupled to the transport of protons across a biological membrane. He argues that this principle explains ATP synthesis, solute accumulations or expulsions, and cell movement (flagellar rotation). Mitchell is awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1978.

Francois Jacob, David Perrin, Carmen Sanchez and Jacques Monod propose the operon concept for control of bacteria gene action. Jacob and Monod later propose that a protein repressor blocks RNA synthesis of a specific set of genes, the lac operon, unless an inducer, lactose, binds to the repressor. With Lwoff, Jacob and Monod are awarded the Nobel Prize in Medicine or Physiology in 1965.
Marshall Nirenberg and J.H. Matthaei observe that a synthetic polynucleotide, poly U, directs the synthesis of a polypeptide composed only of phenylalanine. They conclude that the nucleotide base triplet UUU must code for phenylalanine. This is the start of successful efforts to decipher the genetic code. With Robert Holley and Har Gobind Khorana, Nirenberg is awarded the Nobel Prize in Medicine or Physiology in 1968.
Sydney Brenner, Francois Jacob and Matthew Meselson use phage-infected bacteria to show that ribosomes are the site of protein synthesis and confirm the existence of messenger RNA. They demonstrate that infection of Escherichia coli by phage T4 stops cell synthesis of host RNA and leads to T4 RNA synthesis. The T4 RNA attaches to cellular ribosomes and directs protein synthesis.
Charles Yanofsky and coworkers define the relationship between the order of mutatable sites in the gene coding for the Escherichia coli enzyme tryptophan synthetase and the corresponding amino acid replacements in the enzyme. It worked well for tyrptophan synthetase because the enzyme has two subunits, one of which could be mutated. The missense mutants in the alpha subunit could be mapped and related to the genetic fine structure of the gene. The property of correlating a mutation with an amino acid replacement is called colinearity.

Let me start off by saying that she is an awesome person, but she is the biggest klutz on the earth, and I fear for the very life of any living organism that falls under her care. I offered to kitten-proof her apartment so the kittens wouldn't get stuck behind the refrigerator or worse, flush themselves down the toilet. But I have no experience with cats and don't know where to begin. Where else to turn to for help than the pillar of wisdom that is FSU in times like this? Any advice would be appreciated.

Tar Heel assistant coaches Chris Kapilovic and Randy Jordan drove to Winston-Salem the first Saturday in December to watch the NCHSAA 3-AA state title game between Northern Guilford High and Charlotte Catholic. The primary object of their attention was T.J. Logan, the gifted Northern Guilford running back who earlier in the summer had committed to the Tar Heels and so far had held strong throughout the fall while every collegiate powerhouse in the nation sought to get a foothold. Scholarship offers came from California on the West Coast, Auburn in the Deep South and Ohio State in the Midwest.
Blink: Logan on a 46-yard reverse for a touchdown. Kapilovic, the Tar Heels' offensive line coach who has as a primary recruiting territory the Greensboro and Guilford County areas, and Jordan, Carolina's running backs coach, applaud the action.
"T.J. was a different kind of kid to recruit," says Kapilovic. "He did not enjoy the process. He has no ego. It's all about his teammates and the offensive line opening the holes. He didn't worry about how many stars he could get, he wasn't interested in going to combines, he was not interested in doing interviews."
Swoosh: Logan for 27 yards and a touchdown. Kapilovic and Jordan are enjoying the show.
"He's an amazing runner because he looks like he's jogging," Jordan says. "He's running faster than everyone else, but he's not breaking a sweat and it looks so effortless."
Boom: Logan runs for seven tough yards inside. Kapilovic and Jordan exchange knowing smiles.
"For all the big runs he had, the play I really remember was an inside zone," Jordan says. "There was nowhere to go, but he put his shoulder pads down, got his pads out in front and got his legs churning in the back. He pushed the pile and slammed it up for about seven yards. That showed me he's not a track guy playing football, he is a football player."
Thwack: Logan high-tails it in his 4.4 speed another 80 yards for his third score of the game. Kapilovic and Jordan are jabbing and nudging one another with fists and elbows. The run was noteworthy at the end because Logan, as he crossed the goal, simply bent over and placed the ball on the ground-not a hint of celebratory histrionics ever.
"He's been to the end zone plenty of times, he doesn't have to make a big deal of it," Carolina head coach Larry Fedora says. "He's knows he'll be back soon."
"It was an amazing display," Kapilovic says. "It was a state championship game, so it was against good-quality competition. Against a top opponent, what he was doing was pretty special."
Pop: There goes Logan out toward the hash, cuts in, dashing 85 yards for yet another touchdown. It's his fourth of the game and the rout is on. By the final whistle, Logan scores eight touchdowns and has 510 yards rushing as Northern Guilford collects its second straight state championship, 65-26. He rushed for 3,146 yards as a senior and no telling how many yards he could have had if he'd played the entire game of lopsided wins; as it was, Logan saw action in only two fourth quarters of 15 games.
"All of a sudden," Kapilovic says, "I figured out my job had just gotten a lot harder. T.J. was already on everyone's radar, but this was going to go national. If they weren't coming after him hard already, they sure were now."
In the end, Logan never budged from his commitment to the Tar Heels and on Wednesday became one of the highlights of the 17-member class signed by Fedora and staff in their first full year of recruiting in Chapel Hill. The group includes four players who have already enrolled, nine offensive players and eight defensive players. That Logan committed so early (he pledged to the Tar Heels in early July 2012) and that his recruiting was void of drama tended to dull the reality of how special a player the Tar Heels got as they approach this fall having to replace Gio Bernard.
"We did get the best guy in the state of North Carolina," recruiting coordinator Walt Bell says. "There's a misconception that we didn't. We did."
Fedora predicted this class, ranked 20th nationally by ESPN.com, "will be the basis for multiple championships at the University of North Carolina," and he cited its athleticism, versatility, high football IQ and the intangibles that are always important but even more so today in the wake of the Tar Heels' much-publicized off-the-field travails since the summer of 2010.
"You look in their chest, and these guys have a will to succeed," Fedora says. "They want to be good not only on the field but in the classroom."
"We hold the players accountable and Coach Fedora holds the coaches accountable," says wide receivers coach Gunter Brewer. "We look under every rock evaluating these kids, on and off the field. We don't want to make any mistakes. We're involved in every facet of their lives-academics, personal, training. Before around here, it was, 'Oh, academics is in charge of that,' or, 'The weight room's in charge of that.' Now everybody's in charge of everybody. It's a personal approach rather than a shot-gun approach."
Carolina signed seven players from the state of North Carolina and traveled further from home for five of its most significant signees-defensive linemen Greg Webb and Dajaun Drennon of Timber Creek High in Sicklerville, N.J., defensive end Mikey Bart of Buford, Ga., quarterback Mitch Trubisky of Mentor, Ohio., and A-back Ryan Switzer of Charleston, W.Va.
Finding some help along the defensive front was one priority this winter given the departure of Sylvester Williams and the Tar Heels' inability in 2012 to generate a consistent pass rush on the edge. They hope to have addressed that need with Webb, Drennon and Bart, along with Nazair Jones of Roanoke Rapids and Marquis Haynes of Jacksonville, Fla.
"People can't realize down here how good Greg Webb and Dajaun Drennon are," says co-defensive coordinator Vic Koenning. "They are high-profile guys for us. I've watched a bunch of football over the years, and to be honest I'm not sure I've ever seen a tougher guy than Mikey Bart. Those three guys for sure will be impact guys. The others may take a little more time. But I'm very confident those three guys will come in and contribute. With the numbers we have, we're going to have to get help from those guys. We can't have what we had last year-guys going 60 to 70 snaps a game because we didn't have any back-ups. It's not fair."
The recruitment of Trubisky, named Mr. Football in the state of Ohio as the top player across all classifications, and of Switzer, a player that Bell termed "outside the hashes, the most dynamic player in America," each began exactly one year ago as the Tar Heel staff closed its 2012 signing class and began watching junior film.
Offensive coordinator Blake Anderson has a small geographical recruiting area in the state of North Carolina, but his primary job in recruiting is to find quarterbacks-locally and nationally. Trubisky stood out in Anderson's tape review last February and made the list of some 10 quarterbacks he wanted to go see during the spring recruiting and evaluation period. Anderson on his trip to Mentor was convinced that Trubisky's physical ability combined with his intelligence, poise and drive was a good match and he offered Trubisky last spring. Meanwhile, other schools were slow to make up their minds. Trubisky committed to Carolina in May and never wavered during the fall when his 2012 performance-more than 4,000 yards passing-showed other recruiters they'd made a mistake not coming after him sooner.
The Saturday in mid-November after Carolina beat Virginia in Charlottesville on Thursday night, Anderson went to Cleveland to watch Trubisky and Mentor High in the state playoffs against St. Ignatius. Mentor won the game 57-56 in triple overtime, with Trubisky passing for 410 yards, rushing for 140 and accounting for six touchdowns in front of a frenzied crowd of nearly 10,000 fans. Anderson was even more convinced afterward he'd found his man.
"The game was an emotional roller coaster, a lot of people were going crazy," Anderson says. "It was do-or-die, loser-go-home. There was amazing pressure and tension-in the stands, on the sideline, on the field, even with the coaches. They had several third-and-longs, a fourth-and-11. What struck me in the heat of all this was Mitch's poise and demeanor. It never got to him. He was calm and never broke stride. He put his hands up, calmed his guys down and told them what they were going to do. It was unique for someone that young to have the composure he had. That was very impressive."
The Tar Heels had also gotten a commitment back in the spring from Switzer, a 5-10, 175-pound firecracker who was originally leaning toward Penn State. One priority last winter for Anderson and Brewer was finding an "A-back"-so-named for a player's "all-skills" abilities in running, catching and kick-returning. Switzer's abilities stood out as Bell and Anderson were canvassing the reams of tape supplied by one of Carolina's clearinghouse film services.
"Call it luck or divine intervention or whatever, we had a little with Ryan," Anderson said. "His tape came across my desk, I looked at it and it piqued my interest. The A-back was not a position the previous staff used, so we were short on those guys on campus. It was a priority. We were able to get in with Ryan very early."
A serendipitous lunch at the NFL Combine in Indianapolis last February also tilted another domino in the Tar Heels' direction. Brewer attended the combine at the behest of Justin Blackmon, the receiver he coached while at Oklahoma State. Brewer was showing Blackmon tape of Switzer on his phone over lunch-"Watch this kid, he's become a Youtube sensation," Brewer said-when one of Blackmon's agents sitting at the table said he was a neighbor in Charlotte with David Switzer, the principal at Ardrey Kell High and just coincidentally Ryan's uncle.
"You never burn a bridge, because you never know when you're going to have to pass back over that bridge," says Brewer, who spent four years in the state of West Virginia in the 1990s coaching at Marshall. "That lunch started a chain of events with the Switzer family looking into my background at Marshall, looking into what this staff had done with the A-back at other schools. David Switzer talked to Justin about me privately, if I'd be a good fit with his nephew, that kind of thing.
"Blake did a great job getting in the door with Ryan and the family, then I worked it from the back end, so to speak. In the end, it was a great fit for both of us."
As it was with Logan and the rest of the signing class. Fedora was stunned a couple of months ago to receive in the mail a hand-written "thank-you" note from Logan, expressing his gratitude for being given a scholarship offer.
"In 26 years in this business I've never gotten a 'thank-you' note from a kid," Fedora says. "It was so meticulously written and neat that I had to go ask Kap, 'Is this for real?' He assured me it was. I was very impressed. Like I said, this group has the right values, the will to succeed. T.J.'s a great example of that."
Lee Pace has written "Extra Points" since 1990 and reported from the sidelines for the Tar Heel Sports Network since 2004.

ITHACA, N.Y. -- Senior Katie Webster dished out a career-high three assists and finished with a season-high four points to lead No. 1/2 Syracuse to a 7-5 victory at Cornell on Tuesday, April 15. The win extends the Orange's winning streak to eight games and improves its record to 14-1. Sophomore Kayla Treanor tallied a team-high three goals for Syracuse, while seniorAlyssa Murray had two goals, giving her 198 in her career. Lindsay Toppe had three goals to lead the Big Red (6-7). The Orange led 4-0 at halftime, but three straight goals by Toppe, two on free position attempts, to start the second half cut the lead to one with 15:25 on the clock. Her first goal ended the Big Red's scoring drought of more than 36 minutes. Treanor answered with her third goal of the night on a hard shot from the right side to push Syracuse's lead to 5-3 with 13:20 on the clock. Cornell again got within one on Rachel Moody's goal at the 9:17 mark, but Murray took a long pass and started her dodge on the right side of the fan and found the back of the net to again extend Syracuse's lead to two at 6-4 with 7:55 on the clock. The Big Red wouldn't go away and Moody's second goal brought Cornell within one before Webster netted her first goal of the game on a fast break with 6:03 remaining to give Syracuse a 7-5 advantage. Cornell goalkeeper Carly Gniewek recorded her seventh save of the night on a shot by Treanor, but the Big Red wasn't able to clear the ball, turning it over in its defensive end, and the Orange ran out the final 3:14 to record the victory. "Cornell did a great job of getting long possessions and then converting on their opportunities," said Syracuse head coach Gary Gait. "But we got the turnovers when we needed them and got the win." Treanor started the scoring at the 18:52 mark of the first half when she started her dodge on the right side and found the back of the net on a low shot. Junior Gabby Jaquithtook a pass from Webster and buried her shot from in front of the crease and Treanor scored on a wraparound goal to extend the Orange's lead to 3-0 with 14:28 on the clock. Webster notched her second assist of the game when she connected with Murray, who scored the final goal of the half to give Syracuse a 4-0 lead at intermission. It marks the third time the Orange has shutout its opponent in a half this season. Syracuse outshot Cornell, 19-16, while the Big Red had a 21 to 16 advantage in ground balls. The Orange once again dominated in the circle. Junior Kailah Kempney posted seven draw controls, helping the Orange win 11-of-14 draws. Senior Alyssa Costantinomade four saves and recorded her fourth win of the year. The Orange returns to Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) play on Saturday, April 19 when it travels to Notre Dame, Ind. to face the No. 9/8 Fighting Irish.

Earth Day: Recycle used car seats
(Cleveland) - The Cleveland Metroparks Zoo is celebrating Earth Day at the Zoo's Party for the Planet, Sunday, April 21, 2013.
UH Rainbow Babies & Children's Hospital will be on site collecting used car seats in an effort to keep them out of landfills.
Families attending the celebration will be able to watch the pile of used car seats grow in the Zoo parking lot.
The hospital is hoping this will allow people to clean out basements and garages of old car seats that they previously had no way to discard in an environmentally-friendly way.
UH Rainbow Babies & Children's Hospital created this initiative—the first car seat recycling program of its kind in Ohio— to give parents an eco-friendly option that allows all the parts of the seat to be recycled or reused in some way.
Car seats that still have years left before the expiration date and are in good shape will be cleaned, disinfected and made available for patients in need at UH Rainbow Babies & Children's Hospital and MacDonald Women's Hospital.
The majority of seats UH Rainbow collects, which cannot be reused, are separated into all the base materials—metal, plastic, fabric and Styrofoam—and recycled. Every part of a car seat except for the harness straps can be recycled or repurposed. Even the car seat covers are being upcycled to make pet beds for the Multiple Breed Rescue foster home network.
In addition to the Zoo event, car seats are being collected on an ongoing basis throughout Greater Cleveland at 21 convenient drop-off locations including police stations, fire stations, and local businesses.
For a complete list of sites participating in the UH Rainbow car seat recycling program, go to www.RainbowBabies.org/recycle.
The UH Rainbow Car Seat Recycling Collection is in the Lion Lot, across from the main entrance at the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., Sunday, April 21.

McCall led the Cobras to a 15-win season in 2015-16, including an 11-win total at the friendly confines of Saleeby-Stokes Softball Field. Ashley Gallman, Riley Morris and Tayler Barcomb were named to the preseason All-SAC team, while Gallman and Morris earned regular season All-SAC honors.
In his first season, head coach Travis McCall led the Coker College softball team to a 24-win season, 10 of which came in South Atlantic Conference play. In only their second season in the SAC, the Cobras made an appearance in the SAC Softball Tournament. Ashlee Ellen was a preseason All-SAC honoree, while Ashley Gallman, Riley Morris and Tayler Barcomb all regular season earned All-SAC honors.
McCall took over the program from legendary Coach David Hanna who retired after 23 years as the Cobras head coach.
McCall came to Coker after serving as the assistant coach at King University for the past three seasons, amassing more than 94 wins. Under his tutelage, 15 Tornado players earned all-conference honors, and 11 were named academic all-conference. Additionally, he helped guide the Tornado to a Conference Carolinas regular season title (2013), a Conference Carolinas Tournament title (2012) and two Conference Carolinas Tournament championship game appearances (2012, 2014).
McCall assisted King in becoming one of the top hitting and pitching teams in Conference Carolinas during his three years. In 2014 the Tornado ranked in the top five in 13 statistical categories, including being fourth in runs (169), third in hits (350), first in doubles (64), fourth in home runs (18), fourth in runs batted in (143) and fourth in total bases (472). On the defensive side of the ball the Tornado were first in strikeouts (296), second in ERA (2.42) and second in shutouts (8).
In addition to the 15 all-conference performers, McCall has coached two-time Conference Carolinas Pitcher of the Year and two-time Daktronics All-Southeast Region selection Hannah Light.
Prior to his arrival at King, McCall served as the assistant coach at Columbus State University from 2010-2011. He helped guide the Cougars to a record of 37-16, a 16-win improvement from their previous season. CSU finished third in the Peach Belt Conference and advanced to the conference tournament.
McCall was a four-year letter winner for the University of West Georgia baseball team and a member of the Gulf South Conference Academic Honor Roll. He received his Bachelor of Science in Sports Management in 2008 and received his Master of Business Administration in 2009, both from the University of West Georgia.

Alternatives to Nursing Home Medicaid
Authored By: Legal Hotline For Texans - TLSC
- Contents
- Information Download a Copy - FREE
If you are not eligible for Nursing Home Medicaid, you may still be able to get care, including:
o Home health care, hospice care, and other services paid for by Medicare,
o Alternative Medicaid programs, and
o Other options that you can pay for yourself.
Medicare may pay for home health care services.
Medicare pays for home health care if you are sick or injured, and:
o You need part-time or periodic (not full-time) care,
Your doctor has set up a home care plan because you can only leave your home for brief periods of time,
o Medicare covers the services you receive, and
o Medicare has approved the agency that provides your home health care services.
What kinds of services will Medicare cover?
Medicare will pay for services that your doctor recommends, such as:
o Skilled nursing care
o Physical, occupational, and speech therapy
o Care by home health aides (if you are also getting skilled nursing care or other therapy)
o Medical social services to help you with social and emotional concerns you have related to your illness
o Certain medical supplies, like wound dressing (but not drugs or prescriptions)
o Durable medical equipment (80% of approved amount)
o Visits by a home health nurse to provide injections to women suffering from bone fractures due to osteoporosis. Your doctor must certify that you cannot give the injections to yourself. Medicare covers the visits, but you pay a 20% copay for the drug.
Which services are not covered by Medicare?
Medicare does not pay for these home health care services:
o 24-hour home nursing care
o Most prescription drugs
o Meals delivered to your home
o Homemaker services, such as shopping, cleaning, and laundry
o Personal care given by home health aides, like bathing, using the toilet, or help getting dressed
(if this is the only care you need)
Can I choose any home health care agency I want?
No. If you are enrolled with a Medicare managed care plan, you must use a home health care agency on the plan's list. Your Medicare managed care plan must give you a list of the approved agencies, covered home health care services, copays, and information about your appeal rights.
Will the home health care agency send me a bill?
No. The home health care agency sends the bills to Medicare. Before your care starts, the home health agency must explain which items and services are and are not covered by Medicare. The agency must explain this to you in writing and in person or over the phone.
How much of the bill will I have to pay?
If you receive only covered services (listed above), Medicare will pay for the complete cost.
Exception: Medicare will only pay 80% of the cost of durable medical equipment. That means you have to pay 20%.
What if I do not agree with the amount I am asked to pay?
If you disagree about the amount Medicare will pay and the amount you pay, you have the right to appeal. To learn about appeal procedures, go to: www.medicare.gov/basics/appeals.asp.
For more information about Medicare coverage of home health services, contact:
Texas Regional Home Health Intermediary: (800) 583-2236, or
Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services website: www.medicare.gov
Will Medicare pay for hospice care?
If you qualify for Medicare, and you are eligible for hospice services, Medicare will pay for your:
o Nursing care
o Doctors' services
o Drugs for pain relief and symptom management
o Physical, occupational, and speech therapy
o Home health aide and homemaker services
o Medical social services
o Medical supplies and equipment
o Short-term inpatient care, including respite care
o Counseling, including dietary and spiritual counseling
Medicare will also pay for covered services for problems that are not related to your terminal illness.
How do I know if I am eligible?
You are eligible if:
o You choose a Medicare-approved hospice program,
o Your doctor and hospice director certify you are terminally ill and will probably die within
6 months, and
o You sign a statement choosing hospice care instead of routine Medicare benefits for your
terminal illness.
Important! The Medicare hospice benefit does not pay for:
o Treatment that is not for symptom management and pain control,
o Care that was not arranged for by the patient's hospice, or
o Care from a provider that duplicates care the hospice is required to provide.
How long is hospice care available?
Medicare will pay for:
o Up to two 90-day periods, and then
o Any number of 60-day periods.
At the start of each period of care, your doctor must certify that you are terminally ill so you can continue getting hospice care.
Medicare will also pay for hospice patients to stay in a hospital or nursing home for up to 5 days to give temporary relief, called respite care, to the caregiver at home. They can do this as often as needed.
Can I stop my hospice care?
Yes. You can end your hospice care at any time, for any reason. Then, you can get health care using your Medicare health plan.
Can my doctor end my hospice care?
Yes. If your health improves or the illness goes into remission, the doctor may determine that you do not need hospice care.
How much does hospice care cost?
Medicare pays for all of your hospice care, except:
o 5% copay or $5 for each prescribed medicine (whichever is less), and
o 5% copay for inpatient respite care, based on the Medicare-allowed rate.
Can I (or my insurance) pay for the care I need?
Yes. If Medicare or Medicaid does not cover the care you need, you can also arrange for care that you (or your insurance) would pay for, including assisted living facilities and continuing care facilities.
Assisted living facilities provide food, shelter, and personal care services, such as help with dressing, moving, bathing, medications, and general care of your physical and mental well being. In most situations, Medicare and Medicaid do not pay for assisted living facilities. You must pay for an assisted living facility with your own money.
Exception: Community Based Alternative Medicaid Programs may pay for home and community based services for people who would otherwise be institutionalized. Enrollment is limited. For more information, contact your local TDHS Community Care for Aged and Disabled Office.
Continuing care facilities (CCF) are for patients who need long-term care, but do not need specialized nursing care. CCFs give patients a place to live where they can get personal care services, nursing services, medical, and other health-related services. CCFs are not covered by Medicare and Medicaid. In most cases, you have to sign a contract, pay an entry fee, and pay a monthly fee. The contracts are usually for a 12-month period or for the rest of your life.
The fees for CCFs vary. It's best to compare because there can be big differences in the fees and the quality of services. Also consider if the CCF seems stable and is likely to stay in business for the time period you need it.
All CCFs have to give you written information about how to end your contract. You will get this when you sign up. If you need another copy of the information ask the CCF administrator. Or contact the Texas Department of Insurance.
If you are not eligible for Medicaid Nursing Home services, you may still be eligible for a Medicaid Community Care Program. These programs provide services in the community to elderly people with physical or developmental disabilities.
o Primary Home Care programs provide personal care services that help with daily living and personal care, if medically necessary.
o Program of All-inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE) in El Paso helps people who are over 55, live in certain areas of El Paso, and have been certified eligible for nursing facility care. For more information, contact Bienvivir Senior Health Services at: (915) 599-8812.
o Community Based Alternative Programs provide home and community based services to people who would otherwise be institutionalized. Enrollment is limited. For more information, contact your local TDHS Community Care for Aged and Disabled Office.
o Adult Foster Care programs place adults in foster homes if they can no longer live independently because of physical, mental, or emotional limitations. The foster caregivers offer help 24/7 with personal care, daily living activities, and providing or arranging for transportation. The caregivers and residents live in the same home and share a common living area. There can be no more than 3 adults, unless the home is licensed by DADS. The client pays the caregiver for room and board.
o Family Home Care program provides personal care, home management, and escort services for eligible adults.
For more information on these programs, contact your local Area Agency on Aging. Ask a benefits counselor if you are eligible. To find your Area Agency on Aging, call: (800) 252-9240.
How can I pay for my own nursing home care if Medicaid or Medicare does not cover it?
If you need long-term nursing home care, you can pay with your own money. Or you can use your long-term care insurance (if you have any). If you plan on paying for long-term care yourself, we suggest you talk to a financial planner. A planner can help you calculate the value of your assets and the likely cost of your care over time. A planner can also tell you about "Medicaid qualifying trusts," which allow you to keep some of your assets and still be eligible for Medicaid.
For a trust to qualify, you must set it up at least 5 years before you go into a nursing home. Once you are in the home, Medicaid may require you to use the money available to the trustee to pay for the care. If your trust says that the trustee can only use the interest income, you will be able to preserve the principal value of your assets.
The rules for trusts are complicated, and there are risks. For example, you are allowing someone else full control of your assets in exchange for sheltering them. Talk to a lawyer before you set up a trust.
Many insurance companies sell long-term care insurance. Generally, the older you are, the more they cost. Please read the Texas Department of Insurance publication, What Texans Should Know about Long Term Care Insurance.

Here's something that happened to me two days ago. I hired four studio lights for a shoot (this I normally do when I'm shooting in another city). The camera was a Mamiya RB67, connected to one of the lights with a cable.
Now, you know how it gets.. sometimes, you focus so hard on the ground glass that when you look up, both your eyes are actually focussing on different points. I always found that amusing.
This time, it went a step further. I was barefoot in the studio. About an hour into the shoot, I get this rather powerful electric shock straight up my eye. My eyelid fluttered like a flag at full mast on a windy day for a minute. And I developed a tic in that eye for the next few hours... my eyelid would involutarily jerk every few seconds. And then it started watering for another hour or so, before it went back to normal.
Ladies and Gentlemen, this may sound funny, but you really don't want something like this to happen to you, especially when you are trying to shoot models who are supposed to have a 'solemn' look.
Leaking capacitor? At that point, I didn't care. The light was got down and packed away. I've heard of leaking flash capacitors in flash units giving photographers a mighty jolt. But getting one in the eye just about made my day.
Anything other strange stories like this one?
Shock In The Eye!

hehe you bet i was also barefoot (only socks) - i got shocks in my eyelid and hands (in the hand i got them by those tinny screws of my camera) - but not that big shocks those small ones but because the eye is more sensitive than the hand its weird (not sure if the studio was well grounded! )
at least we got a "scary" story to tell to young children,
ps: beware that this could be more serious... beware of the electrons

"Beware of those electrons" is right!
And the earthing within the studio is something I did not think of. I better call up the studio owners and warn 'em.

In advance of Forrester's Summit for CIOs in Singapore on August 30, I had an opportunity to speak with Paul Cobban about his successful transformations at DBS Bank over the past few years. Based in Singapore, Paul oversees business transformation, operational excellence, customer experience, IT project office, procurement, real eastate, operational risk and business continuity management. I've had a sneak peak at his event presentation and it is excellent. Paul is a progressive CIO at the forefront of BT innovation and business engagement with a lot of valuable insight to share.
1. What do you think IT departments are doing right and wrong these days?
In banking the IT departments have had to change enormously in recent years. On top of the usual relentless advances in technology, security challenges have escalated, the war for talent has accelerated and regulation continues to evolve with the challenges. I believe that IT departments have had to adapt well to these changes.
However, in most companies there is a lack of a truly customer centric design. Although there is some hype in the industry around service-oriented architecture (SOA), I believe that until budgets are allocated around customer processes rather than by functional units, systems will continue to be designed as applications for the department users rather than with the customer in mind. In addition, most companies fail to take usability seriously and have little concept of cross touchpoint consistency.
2. How do you measure ROI for IT?

As for myself, I've been messing with it for the past hour. To open new tabs, I use a "New Tab" button in my tool bar in Firefox. This is not available for the Netscape browser and while I can open them with ctl/T I don't like using keyboard shortcuts. So that is a definite minus for me. I don't like the idea of "Share" nor the "Social" button. It seems to me that a good deal of this browser is built to take you to the Netscape portal and of course to generate income for the parent company (AOL). There are no such attempts with Firefox to do this. Another minus as far as I'm concerned. Of course, you can strip the button(s) from the tool bar (which I've done) and strip it down. McAfee's site advisor will not work with this browser (at least I've been unable to make it work) nor will several extensions that I use with Firefox such as Forecast Fox. So, while it claims to use the same extensions as FF it seems to be playing "catch-up". Another minus as far as I'm concerned.
It has URL correction but I rarely if ever mistype URLs so that is somewhat meaningless to me. The G-filter for Adblock Plus is not yet compatible so that is also another minus.
In short, what do you have with this new browser? Well... I'm not sure what it has to offer that cannot be had with Firefox. I'll continue to mess with it and I'm curious as to what others here think about it. I suspected that it would change my mind about keeping FF as my default browser and so far my suspicions have proven true. We'll see how thing pan out by tomorrow.
Any other impressions?

Tree Planting at Bearcat Hollow
Photo submitted by Jamie Hedges on 3/18/2013.
On February 23, 57 people (including a group from Ozarks) braved the cold temperatures to help with the US Forest Service Bearcat Hollow Restoration project. The Forest Service is partnering with other agencies and organizations to manage this 38,000 acre area in the Ozark-St. Francis National Forest, including the 15,000 acre+ wildlife emphasis area.
A note from Wayne Shewmake, President of the Arkansas Wildlife Federation:
We had a great time this past weekend on Bearcat Hollow planting native plum trees for wildlife. It was a very cold start of the day, 22 F with lots of ice on the trees, but it warmed up to about 38 F during the day. We had about 57 people show up to help us. Some of the brave ones from University of Ozarks, camped out Friday night, most of us got there about 8 am Saturday morning. Started out with a big hot breakfast for everyone, and divided up into 3 groups to go on to the fields to plant 1,500 Chickasaw and American Plum tree seedlings. With all of the great help and support it didn't take long to get the job done, we were back to camp for lunch about noon, and the cooks had a great dinner fixed, chicken and beef steaks foilpacs, hot chili, and soup.
AWF appreciates the help and support of the students from ATU and University of the Ozarks, we couldn't have done it without your help and support. Also thanks to National Forest Foundation, Rocky Mt. Elk Foundation, National Wild Turkey Federation, U S Forest Service and AGFC for your help and support.
Thanks to all of those that came to support conservation for wildlife.
Wayne Shewmake
President, Arkansas Wildlife Federation
And from Jerry Crowe, an AWF Board Member:
Gayne, I can't say enough good things about the college students, Tech and Clarksville, that show for these work sessions. The students have a great attitude and seem to really enjoy helping.
Also all the work Wayne and Lola do organizing.
Jerry Crowe
More photos from the weekend can be found in the the Ozarks Outdoors Planet Club @Bearcat SP13 album.

I love it!

That article need PHOTOS!!
Double post
I thought I heard a blurb about this on the radio advertising for the nightly news...forgot to watch it though.
two things...
1: is this serious?
2: why does shadow hare have a silver fox on his shirt?
Did you watch the video? Good stuff.
Here is the vid:
that's pretty cool. there are plenty of way worse things a 21 year old could be doing with his time.
Man They can actually walk out side with their faces covered? If I did that in my neighborhood I'd be arrested before I could close my front door. I just hope they wear some type of body armor to protect against knives and bullets. They prolly saw watchmen and said hey we can do those costumes. LOL
I've seen something like that....My personal opinon....This is a bad idea.
My first thought is the beginning of Dark Knight with the copy cat Batman(s). Cincinnati isn't so horrible that he'll end up killed out of spite or anything. I'm not sure yet if it's a good idea or not though. Like someone else said, I hope he is at least wearing some sort of armor.
Wow, I'm sorry but that made me laugh so hard. He seems like a good guy, but he is going to get shot or knifed. This is a bad idea.
IMO, it makes costumers look like dorks. Even though these guys aren't actual costumers or propbuilders or whatever, the general public will associate them with the stuff we do. Ever went out on free comic book day dressed? Ya, some people think you're a dork....like those guys are.
Hmm....wow. Lol. Well they are arguably less "dorks" than any costumers if they are actually stopping crimes. But I'm guessing that the truth is that they are rarely involved in any type of intervention.
Still, entertaining and if they actually do help somehow, well then more power to em.
By the way, don't forget to check out their website, also entertaining.
Don't miss the registry section.
rotflmao That was great
It is cool that they were giving sandwiches to homeless people. They seem like goodhearted people...but it is STILL very strange.
Oh wait! You can get those wrestling masks in the streets of Cabo San Lucas, Mexico for about 5 pesos.
It's a little bit sad in a way. I do not think they have a clear understanding that the whole superhero idea in comics and in movies is a FANTASY and can not work in real life the way it does in the movies. The very fact that it is so far-fetched is one of its appeals at the box office. A 21 year old with no resources and no actual superhuman abilities is just an accident or tragedy waiting to happen. Yes, I agree with those who have said it is reminiscent of the fanboy Batman copycat at the beginning of Dark Knight (apropos prediction by the screenwriter's awareness of the audience who watches the film he is writing).
Rest assured, no matter what happens with these guys, anyone in a costume outside of Halloween will be seen as a dork, fighting crime or no. Nothing new. Our status is quite safe!
It begins as a civic duty but what happens when the 'bad guys' get together to 'teach' these guys a lesson? If your going to work on the side of Justice then do it from the shadows! Geez talk about putting a bulls eye on your back!
They just been made. Now, some one will attempt to look for one of these guys, and effectively remove them. They have become part of the problem, though commendable in thier efforts. Here in my town for example, recently, the SB police broke up a confrontation between two rival gangs. When they arrested most of the trouble makers, the remaining, unarrested gang members went after the cops on scene, in broad daylight, in a concerted effort to over power the police. No on in SB has any idea what these criminals were even thinking, and thats a big part of the problem today in most cities. What are these people thinking? They are empowered in their mind set. It's scary. If cops are being challenged, these do gooders in costumes are gonna get in big trouble fast.
Real life vigilantes go unseen, unheard, and do not interfere with the law and law enforcement. They attend City Council meetings and lobby for new laws and protections the democratic way. This ain't Hollywood, it's real life and real life isn't scripted. One these guys will be arrested and charged for endangerment etc. when something they get involved with goes south, especially if loss of life occurs, no matter how well intented they were.
Edit: I do want to say that I do think these guys mean well, and my prayers go to them for there safety. They are bringing a level of awareness to the crime problems we face today
I thought this clip was hella funny too, i couldn't help but think of Nacho Libre. Look I'm sure their good kids with their heart in the right place, i just don't want to see any of them getting hurt......
Don't you love when kids think their doing something no one else has ever thought of:)
I first wanted to to hella make fun of these poor kid for dressing up like super heroes but thin it hit me, We all want to dress up like Boba Fett:)
Never thought of?
Even if you're not a big comic book fan, try to catch up on the series "Kick AS*". Written by Mark Millar (Writer of 'WANTED') and art by JR Jr.
Its basically a teenager (set in today's timeframe) who buys a scuba suit and some billyclubs and starts fighting bad guys (muggers, vandalizers, mobsters etc) and gets famous on youtube, and starts getting networked with other kid/teens wanting to be like him. It's what real life superheroes would be like. Very well written series. They are actually filming the movie right now.
HAHAHA this made me laugh :lol
As everyone else has said, the concept of superheroes doesn't work that great in real life, especially in broad day light. A newspaper here in Colorado did an article a month or so ago about one of these guys in Denver. while reading it I couldn't tell if it was serious or not.
I think Shadowhare and his partners could benefit from some time at the gym. They don't look like they'd be that much of a threat against an attacker.

In honor of the peonies...Pin It
I've always thought peonies were the poor (wo)man's rose. I must say this rose is pretty, but nothing compared with an amazing, dripping onto the ground, peony bush.
...and I'm sad that we don't have any at our new place, so in honor of the humble (thornless!)peony that I think gives roses a run for their money on beauty and scent, I wanted to revisit them HERE on this post from last spring. Enjoy!
You think I'm kidding about my obsession with this plant? Click HERE :)
This year I'm moving onto ranunculus because I can dig them up and take them with me in the fall...another worthy rose alternative. Keep posted for how they do...I've got a few that are sprouting, so not sure how many rotted in the rain we've been having...hopefully very few :)

No. 13 Oklahoma State beats UTSA 56-35
SAN ANTONIO (AP) — New starter J.W. Walsh completed his first 10 passes, finished 24-of-27 for 326 yards and four touchdown throws as No. 13 Oklahoma State beat UTSA 56-35 on Saturday.
It's the fourth start for the sophomore Walsh, his first this season after a quick relief performance for Clint Chelf last week. With his speedy start against a Roadrunners team entering its season of football, Walsh led the Cowboys (2-0) to touchdowns on five of six first-half possessions.
UTSA (1-1) tied the score 7-7 when Kenny Bias scored on a 6-yard run with 4:22 left in the first quarter. But Walsh scored from 4 yards out in the second quarter and the Cowboys led 35-7 at halftime.
Walsh left with six minutes left in the third and the Cowboys up 42-7.
Eric Soza threw three TDs in the fourth quarter and finished 24 of 41 for 308 yards, with three interceptions.
Official estimates had today's Alamodome crowd at just under 41,000.
Listen next Saturday, September 14, aa the 1-1 UTSA Roadrunners take on Arizona. Broadcast time is 730pm on Ticket 760 and ticket760.com

text: The question is simple enough: Should jumps (difficulty, success, failure) in a program affect component scores? I have heard various explanations about why program component scores SEEM TO be associated with technical scores. Perhaps the most compelling is that skating skills can be closely linked to both the component scores and technical scores, therefore creating an illusion that judges give component scores to match technical scores. Indeed, the SS and TR components are inherently linked to jumps and this theory could work. However, there are also skaters with very mediocre skating skills who appear to be rewarded with high SS scores because they can jump, which is sort of a separate discussion. I am interested in how P/E, CH, and IN scores appear to be assessed, as their definitions and criteria do not appear to be inherently closely tied with skating skills or jumps. The definitions can be found in the ISU document here, which have not been revised or clarified as far as I know since the start of IJS 10 years ago. At the recent Liberty summer competition, I was struck by the beauty of Wesley Campbell's free skate (to Ave Maria). (You can see a fan video here.) His component scores are: PE=6.58, CH=6.58, IN=6.67. In comparison, the component scores for Max Aaron are: PE=6.50, CH=6.42, IN=6.25. (Video here) The difference between Aaron and Campbell in component scores is small. The difference in quality, if we are purely talking about performance, choroegraphy, and interpretation of music, is massive. (Yes, I am aware that such "massive difference" is my perception and subjective.) So, I wonder. Imagine for a moment, if Campbell and Aaron's jump contents had been essentially the same, would their PE, CH, IN scores be as close as they are now? If no, why not? If yes ... uh ... really? Another way of posing this question is, theoretically, if Campbell had a couple of triple Axels or perhaps a quad along with all the same choreography and performance, would he be getting 6's for components? This is not intended as criticism to specific skaters. I'm comparing these two skaters because I just saw them recently live in competition, and the contrast happened to be very sharp. Another extreme example is Jonathan Cassar. I can't speak for anyone else, but in my opinion he is the best among US men in terms of PE, CH, IN. His interpretation is not merely waving arms, or moving the skates/legs, or make a hand gesture to coincide with the music. With modern dance training, he can express rich and deep emotions and meaning, never cheap, never superficial, never literal, in a way that is pretty much unmatched. He interprets the music's theme, not just the rhythm or phrasing. His performance often conveys an intelligent humanism that is rarely seen in competitive figure skating. A best example is the free program to the soundtrack of Schindler's List. So I looked up his component scores. For this program, at 2010 US Nationals, his PE=6.82, CH=6.79, IN=6.96. At 2011 US Nationals, his PE=7.00, CH=6.96, IN=7.18. His jump repertoire has been fairly stable: all 5 triples, no triple Axel. His component scores are usually around 7 from US judges, which is generous compared with his 2010 Finlandia Trophy (he skated the same FS) component scores: PE=6.50, CH=6.50, IN=6.70. In the same competition, Gachinski (who won the FS) got 7 to 7.10 for these 3 components. One could argue that Cassar would never have gotten 6.50-7.18 in component scores if he wasn't so good, given his limited jump difficulty. But, if what would it matter if PE, CH, and IN are theoretically unrelated and unaffected by jumps? I wonder, if he had a reliably triple Axel, would his PE, CH, and IN scores remain around 7 at US Nationals where Abbott and Lysacek routinely get 8-9? Perhaps this is a nonissue. Perhaps my opinion that Cambpell's Ave Maria FS and Cassar's Schindler's List FS deserve 7.5 to 9 in PE, CH, and/or IN is mistaken or invalid. After all, aren't these things subjective? But, if so, how should these component scores be marked? Is the phenomenon I describe above consistent with the current judging criteria? I just don't see it.

Imagine in the future, a customs agent at border control doesn't have to guess if a traveler's plant is an endangered species. He could simply put a sample of the plant into a machine and read the genetic "barcode."
"In the future we could have a machine and put in a piece of a plant," said Dr. Alexandra D. Simmons, assistant professor of biology. "It could grind it up and analyze the DNA to compare the barcode to those in the database. The guard doesn't have to do guesswork about endangered species."
As the world-wide effort to classify and produce a "DNA barcode" for every living thing is underway, a team of UST biology researchers – including five undergraduate students – hope to contribute data for 32 species of orchid plants in the genus Gongora. Along with Dr. Albert Ribes-Zamora, assistant professor of biology, they expect to generate hypotheses on the phylogenetic relationship between the species and compare the results to current, morphology-based classifications.
"Everyone can help contribute to the barcode of life," Simmons said. "We're contributing new research. We will be making this information available for cross-examination."
Students, Professors Collaborate on Orchid Research
The orchids were sourced by the Rev. Ted Baenziger, CSB, associate professor and chair of French, who is an orchid enthusiast and judge with the American Orchids Association. With a greenhouse behind the Basilian priests' residence, he has raised about 800 orchids. Father Baenziger joined the research team last fall, sitting in on many genetics labs to participate in collaborative research on the DNA barcode of orchids.
"He can't do DNA; we can't do orchids, so it's perfect," she said. "We're getting species from 53 samples he's collected – by himself, through friends or through his network."
The undergraduate researchers are biology majors: Olivia Di Rodriguez, junior; Clara Ribadeneyra, sophomore; Keagan Foss, sophomore; Daniela Angulo Ludovic, junior; and Cesar Trivino, junior. Simmons said the students are doing science as scientists do science.
"They are 100 percent leading this project," she said. "The students do everything on their own. They report findings to us. They ask questions."
In larger research programs, Simmons said only select students might have the opportunity to do research, and they would likely work with a post-doctoral research. "Here, undergrads are working with a principal investigator, which I think would be rare in a larger institution."
Research Analyzes Relationships of the Orchid Species
The students extracted DNA from samples of the orchid leaves, sequenced the DNA of specific parts of the plant genome, and used software called DNA Subway to generate phylogenetic trees: a branched structure that groups two species at a time that share a common ancestor in the past. It provides great insight and helps classify some of the plants that are among 25,000 species of orchids.
The analysis studies four pieces of the chloroplast DNA of each sample, each around 350 letters, or bases, of the millions of base pairs that make up the full genome of an individual, which reads like "ATGGCC…" The sequence becomes a fingerprint of the orchid, or in scientific terms, a barcode, which can be used to identify the species. The group hopes to submit the data to a genetic database and publish their findings, as part of a world-wide effort to record the genetics of every living thing.
A group of 25 students will present a poster at the UST Research Symposium on April 10 about teaching genetics through orchid barcoding. The team is also hoping to present their results in at the American Society of Human Genetics Meeting in San Diego in October and the World Orchid Conference in Johannesburg, South Africa, in September.
"It's been an incredibly dynamic exchange," Simmons said. "It has made us all better."

I want to fill me teeth gap but I do not want to fill it by braces is there another treatment? please help.

Dentist, Gurgaon
Hello yes there are many treatment options to fill the gap between teeth firstly is braces that you don't want to go for. Secondly is the invisible braces called as CLEAR ALIGNERS. These are transparent trays which you have to wear weekly. For further information check www.smilealigner.in then you can also go for veneers but for that we need to check the gap between teeth. Crowns are also an option. Best option which can naturally close the spaces between your teeth is Clear Aligner treatment. Regards.

Drinking a cup of tea everyday helps in keeping the gums and teeth healthy as it contains high amounts of flouride and flavonoids which prevent harmful bacteria from sticking to the teeth.

General Physician, Mumbai
Dear Lybrateuser, - Bad smell from the mouth can be avoided by proper oral hygiene & diet - brush your teeth after every meal with a soft brush for two min or at least twice a day, do flossing once or twice a day, clean the back of your tongue with a tongue cleaner - do Listerine gargles twice a day - have more of fruits & vegetables in your diet, avoid fried, spicy & junk food - if still not much improvement then check with a dentist to rule out any dental cavies or gap in between teeth where food gets stuck or any other oral condition which is giving rise to your problem.

First you have to remove the cause for yellowness of teeth. Then regular brushing may improve it but for finer results you will have to consult a dentist and polish them.

19 years old male from Faridabad asked
How to clean teeth. My teeth is yellow. I use synsodyene paste. Tell some home remedy to fullish white teeth.
Bachelor of Ayurveda, Medicine and Surgery (BAMS)
Ayurveda, Panchkula
1. Use Neem datun daily in the morning. No need to do brush with the paste or vigorous rubbing of the teeth and gums. 2. Mix rock salt (saindha namak)- half tsp and lemon juice/ soda powder - 1/4 tsp. Do gentle rubbing on the teeth and gums using the middle finger only. Leave for 2 minutes and clean the mouth. Do this twice weekly. Skip Neem datun for those two days in a week. 3. Do gentle brushing in the night daily before sleeping with any Ayurvedic good tooth paste daily. 4. Oral hygiene is mandatory. Smoking, chewing tobacco, lots of sweetened beverages, too much sweets, alcohol, etc are not good for oral hygiene. 5. Rinse your mouth after main meals with water.
28 years old female from Agra asked
Hello Dr. mene 2012 me braces treatment karwaya tha but uske baad mjhe teehs me gap ho gaya hai kya wo ab fill ho sakta and cost and time kitna lagega. please help. Thank you.
Hello If the gaps are minimal then you can go ahead with laminates or crowns .it takes two appointments approximately. But if gaps are generalised then go ahead with re-ortho treatment.
27 years old female from Navi Mumbai asked
Mam. I'm having a gummy smile also teeth are not aligned. I have to go for a complete smile designing procedure. What would be the estimated cost and duration for the same.
Please consider orthodontic correction over other 'faster methods' because until teeth are correctly aligned, no treatment would make your smile perfect. Orthodontist would suggest if he would be able to improve your soft tissue (lips) profile with treatment and correct your gummy smile line. If he suggests that this cannot be achieves with orthodontic correction, then you should consider other surgery or laser based options. Smile designing is an ongoing process over your life time! It requires you to keep your teeth clean, gums healthy and get frequent dental checkups. Do not lay if all on your dentist! Orthodontic correction: 1-1.5 years Conventional Smile Designing: Veneers and Crowns; three to four sittings Digital Smile Designing: Photographs and software based approach to shouw you what all can be achieved.

I am 25 year old .i m facing some problm last 5 days Mere tongue ke piche kuch asa lag rha jesa kuch atak rha hai or khane m b problm ho rhi and mene bicasule capsule b liye the but koi aram nhi mila mene tongue ke piche right side m finger se feeel kia Kuc chote 2 se dane se ho rhe hai please suggest wht is probm & wht I do further.
By your complaint, I feel you could be having one of these four complaints: (most common, could be something else also!) 1. Follate papillae: These are vestigial (almost redundant, not used) taste buds of tongue that may become more prominent in some people. 2. Lymphoid aggregates: Lymph nodes are present throught out our body. At times they may develop on sides of tongue because of innumerable reasons. 3. Hairy Leukoplakia: It is almost parallel white colored lines present on the side of the tongue. It is more common in HIV+ patients but is not typical of it. 4. Frictional Keratosis: White colored thick area formed because of chronic irritation from sharp cusps of teeth. Whatever be the reason for this 'dana' do not keep touching it with fingers or tongue. Let it be. Observe it for at least two weeks. Within this time if it ulcerates, swells, pains, or causes a discharge, report to your local dentist immediately for a biopsy. Also, if this persists for more than a month, report to your local dentist for a biopsy. If not, then calm yourself and let the body take its own sweet course. Take care.
28 years old female from Hoshiarpur asked
I have severe pericoronitis .the swelling won't let me sleep and my neck is stiff .please tell me do I have to get the gums surgically removed? My dentist said it's not that serious and the swelling will go away after antibiotics. But I am scared to eat lots of medicines. Kindly suggest.
Regards Please understand what pericoronitis is before you do anything else. It is a physical problem where food particles and plaque accumulate beneath a small area of gingiva overlying a lower third molar. Because of this, it gets inflamed and swells up. Because of the swelling, it gets chewed upon by corrosponding upper tooth. This causes further damage and further aggravates the inflammation and thus swelling. This become a viscious cycle. Because of some antibiotics, painkillers and anti-inflammatory medications, the current episode might resolve only to cause a another episode because the physical problem has not been corrected. This problem is sort of new to our generation based on evolutionary explanations. Our jaw sizes are reducing while the number and size of teeth remains the same. Thus the third molars are generally partially covered by bone and/ or gingiva from the back. This causes third molar impaction or pericoronitis. I would strongly suggest that you stop beating around the bush and get that third molar extracted given that you are unable to sleep because of the severity of this episode. If not indicated in your particular case, consider laser operculectomy (removal of excessive gingiva covering a third molar by laser to cause minimal swelling). It might seem drastic, but take some time and consider the various episodes of pain and swelling that you will have to face unnecessarily because of a tooth that is not as useful in chewing.
