Lassen Volcanic
National Park
The Mountain Reawakens
In May 1914 Lassen Peak burst into eruption, beginning a seven-year cycle of sporadic volcanic outbursts. The climax of this episode took place in 1915, when the peak blew an enormous mushroom cloud some seven miles into the stratosphere. The reawakening of this volcano, which began as a vent on a larger extinct volcano known as Tehama, profoundly altered the surrounding landscape.
The area was made a National Park in 1916 because of its significance as an active volcanic landscape. The park is a compact laboratory of volcanic phenomena and associated thermal features (except true geysers). It is part of a vast geographic unit - a great lava plateau with isolated volcanic peaks - that also encompasses Lava Beds National Monument, California, and Crater Lake National Park, Oregon.
Before the 1980 eruption of Mount Saint Helens in Washington, Lassen Peak was the most recent volcanic outburst in the contiguous 48 states. The peak is the southernmost volcano in the Cascade Range, which extends from here into Canada. The western part of the park features great lava pinnacles (huge mountains created by lava flows), jagged craters, and steaming sulphur vents. It is cut by spectacular glaciated canyons and is dotted and threaded by lakes and rushing clear streams. Snowbanks persist year-round and beautiful meadows are spread with wildflowers in spring. The eastern part of the park is a vast lava plateau more than one mile above sea level. Here are found small cinder cones (Fairfield Peak, Hat Mountain, and Crater Butte). Forested with pine and fir, this area is studded with small lakes, but it boasts few streams. Warner Valley, marking the southern edge of the Lassen Plateau, features hot spring areas (Boiling Springs Lake, Devils Kitchen, and Terminal Geyser). This forested, steep valley also has gorgeous large meadows.
The 1980 eruption of Mount Saint Helens reduced Lassen's superlative status, but it increased the park's significance as an over 70-year laboratory of possible recovery patterns for Mount Saint Helens. The Devastated Area evidences the combined mud flow and gas blast destruction typical of many volcanic eruptions in the Cascades. The Chaos Jumbles area looks similarly destroyed, but for a different reason. An air-cushioned avalanche - one that fell so rapidly en masse that it trapped and compressed air beneath itself - crashed down the Chaos Crags about 300 years ago. The air acted as a lubricant, enabling the avalanche to rush across the valley at more than 100 miles per hour. It pushed 400 feet up the side of Table Mountain, before losing its momentum and surging back down across Manzanita Creek.
Lassen geothermal area - Sulphur Works, Bumpass Hell (largest), Little Hot Springs Valley, Boiling Springs Lake, Devils Kitchen, and Terminal Geyser - offer bubbling mud pots, steaming fumaroles, and boiling water. Some of these thermal features are getting hotter. Scientists think that Lassen Park and Mount Shasta are the most likely candidates in the Cascades to join Mount Saint Helens as active volcanoes.
The Pacific Ring of Fire and Lassen
Lassen Peak is but one of the active, dormant, or extinct volcanoes that extend around the Pacific Ocean in a great "Ring of Fire". This zone of volcanoes and earthquakes marks the edges of plates that form the Earth's crust. Volcanic and seismic disturbances occur as these great slabs override or grind past each other.>
The theory of Plate Tectonics holds that as the expanding oceanic crust is thrust beneath the continental plate margins, it penetrates deep enough into the Earth to be partly remelted. Pockets of molten rock (magma) result. These become the feeding chambers for volcanoes.
Ancestral Mount Tehama
About 600,000 years ago a great Pacific Ring of Fire stratovolcano (Mount Tehama) gradually built up here through countless eruptions. Before Lassen Peak was emplaced, Mount Tehama had collapsed, but its caldera was breached and no lake developed as did Crater Lake in Oregon. Mount Tehama's main vent was probably what is now the park's Sulphur Works. Remnants of its caldera flanks are Brokeoff Mountain, Mount Diller, Pilot Pinnacle, and Mount Conard. Connect these peaks in a circle to envision Mount Tehama's base - more than 11 miles wide.
Lassen Peak
Lassen Peak began as a volcanic vent on Mount Tehama's northern flank. Considered the world's largest plug dome volcano, it rises 2,000 feet to an elevation of 10,457 feet. The park's lava came from many vents. Recent geological evidence indicates that Cinder Cone, also a volcano, erupted in the 18th century.

Coroner IDs Girl Found in Trunk of Car
The mother of a 5-year-old girl who was found in the trunk of her car has been booked into the Yolo County Jail.
Aquelin Telemantes is accused of stuffing the girl in the trunk of her car in Davis and driving to Sacramento.
The coronor identified the girl as Tatianna Garcia. The daughter or Aquelin Telemantes and Oracio Garcia.
Sacramento police were called to the 7900 block of Pocket Road for a welfare check of the 5-year-old girl. When police arrived on scene, they found the child in the trunk of a car. Sacramento Police Officer Doug Morse says the child was transported to a local hospital where she was pronounced dead.
Following the discovery of the little girls body by Sacramento Police, Davis Police performed a search of Telemantes' home.
According to Yolo County Chief Deputy District Attorney Jonathon Raven, police uncovered evidence the girl was injured there before being put in the car trunk. Raven says they're waiting for reports before pressing charges.
See photos from the scene of the incident.
Correction: An earlier version of this report said that the age of the deceased girl was 4, per Officer Doug Morse. A later police report listed the girl's age as 5. KFBK strives for accuracy in all of its reporting, but mistakes do happen.

Anton Sepetov
May 9, 2013
With BrandYourself, you control what people see when they Google you
Be honest with me ...
When's the last time you Googled your own name?
I'll confess: I Google my name pretty often. Don't lie, I'm sure you do too ;-)
Here's something funny I just found after Googling myself:
All of the participants in the Geography Bee were also recognized. The top school winner, who moves on to the next level, was sixth grader Justin Anderson. The finalists included Anton Sepetov (8th).
I don't ever remember a 6th grader beating 8th-grade me in the Geography Bee ... damn it!

First competitive match at Highbury (as Woolwich Arsenal) v Leicester Fosse 6 Sept 1913
What better way to start 'Highbury Highlights' than with Arsenal's first game at the ground?
It came at the beginning of the 1913-14 season and Leicester Fosse were the visitors. Despite their move north of the Thames, the Club kept "Woolwich" at the start of their name until the back end of that campaign.
This was a second division fixture after Arsenal's relegation at the end of the previous campaign. Benfield put Leicester ahead in the first half but George Jobey nodded in the equaliser before the break from Winship's corner. Devine secured the points for Arsenal in front of a crowd numbering 20,000 from the penalty spot with 12 minutes to go after a Leicester defender handled.
The game was marred by an injury to Jobey. He received a kick in the back and was attended to by doctors and ambulancemen. He was later transported back to his house on a cart borrowed from a local milkman.

Dam!!!!!! I clicked on "more than 70" but was thinking "How manny guns do you own" and missed the Handgun only part, I'm at 59 with 4 on the way.
My GOD, 70+ guns? You can wage your very own guerilla warefare mate. :D
The joys of collecting, I will always be 1 short of what I want for my collection.
MY wife was just talking to a friend, and the friend seemed amazed at the number of guns I have. I later showed my wife this poll. She says people are making that up - no one has that many guns :p
I told her that many people have posted their collectiosn and they are super impressive...
She wasn't impressed :smt086 :smt086 :smt086
She sees the dark side in you..............always in motion, the future is.:smt023
I always enjoy seeing pictures of Gixerman's collection. It's awesome.
I think how many guns you own is partly a function of where you are in life. I'm older and have more disposable income than when my kids were young. Hence I'm acquiring long- and hand- guns as fast as I can. I knew I should have gottena bigger safe.:smt089
I only have 4 :smt022
But after my HK's I don't have an urge to get another gun. It is the strangest thing! I have always though what next after I got a gun.
Well at the moment i only have 2. A 380 and a 45. I want about 5 or 6 more and will get them when I find more money on the tree in the backyard.
buying handguns i a serious addiction, i don't think i will ever sit back and say "that's enough handguns for me". i'm not complaining though!
Unless U can stop at only 1 - its like crack :p
EVerytime I think I am satisified w/ the guns I have and won't be needing another... That idea lasts MAYBE 1 month... Then its on to craving something else :p
I'm in PRC with the lousy 1gun/mnth unless I have collector license, otherwise it will take me 200 months or
16years and 8 months with steady stream of leftover income of ~$1000/month. :smt022
I think it's to establish my residency in Texas. Where guns are cheaper and you can buy'em by the truckload. :smt023
I thought I was bad spending so much money on my bike, but buying guns, especially handguns is even more fun. I just like having them and shooting them and owning them. That's all.

Discussion in 'January 2008' started by max, Jan 24, 2008.
Agreed. I'd with this forum extremly gladly give them as many minutes as they need...
Screw Flip.
I thought we were making good progress around here lately, what happened? Why all the negativity? Blame the calls on Steve Javie. Refs have their own way of calling games and the lead ref can influence a crew of inexperienced refs. Did we get scrwed on the calls Monday night? I can live with this 10 man rotation. Maxiel 20 mins, Afflalo 16 mins, Stucky 12, Amir 9. Rip play 39 but he was hot and I don't worry about him getting tired. Prince played 38 but that was mostly because Jarvis cannot guard Hedo. Don't know about you guys but I am glad they beat the Magic. When a team celebrates like the won the Finals when they beat you 4 days earlier you have to respond. I thought the Pistons responded quit well. And Amir played for the 2nd straight game.
Nobody can guard Hedo when every time he starts to drive he gets a call. But I would've loved to see some Hermann on him.
Not if they are playing the Celtics
True the refs tried their best to ruin the game and I do hope it is reviewed. But it was not Flips fault.
It would be a tossup. League loves both teams.
We won the game, but the refs still played with Flips head and he then played Rip almost 40 minutes and Tay over 38. Johnson and even Fabio could have got some of those minutes. Although as someone said in chat, more minutes played by the youngsters would have probably resulted in more fouls called by Javie and crew
Our bench was called for 13 fouls in 58 minutes. That is over 1 foul per minute 5 guys X 12 = 60 minutes or one quarters worth. So 13 fouls in 12 minutes = 13/(60/5) or over 1 foul a minute. The starters by contrast were called for 17 fouls in about 182 minutes. It seems pretty clear why the bench didn't get more minutes.
What a great win over a pretty good team for the Pistons today. I can't believe so many people are whining. Enjoy the win, folks.
Steve Javie is a gotdamn clown
Good win tonight. That first quarter was the best they have looked in a long time. Not too long ago there were first quarter blues. Big and expected drop in the second half. Lewis killed his team. When a big man roams so far outside to line up those threes, you best shoot at least 40-50 percent. Sheed needs to see how Lewis hurt his team, since the key on bad nights is to get those second shots. Let us all hope Dyess stays healthy, because he is the only one rebounding. Not a good night for the bench, but there could be a huge wave of developing talent for the near future. One thing is obvious about this bench:They are athleticThey are quickThey are not lazyThey take no breaksAmir, Stuckey, and AA are still rookiesExtremely inconsistent refs tonight.
Pretty good team that needed 40 free throws to stay within 10 points. Dyess played almost 37 minutes, Amir didn't get off the bench in the 2nd, Tay played 38 minutes. If Orlando made all the freebies it would've been a close game at the end. That's why we are "whining". I'd rather take a 1 point win over Milwaukee with bench getting extensive playing time.
The Magic got lots of free throws because the Pistons committed lots of fouls. It really is that simple. Amir actually played. Let's celebrate. Who gives a crap about all of the minutes played micro-analysis?
I couldn't believe those refs tonight. They sucked badly. The Magic needed what, 40 ft's just to keep themselves within striking distance. Take away some of those (particularly the Turkey Glue touch fouls) and this would've been a different ball game. Amir - I loved seeing him get some time and produce. He's played well so far; hopefully he keeps it up so Flip can trust him more. He had 3 fouls called on him, but some were really tacky ones. Sheed/Dice/Max got hit with a few of those as well. Stuckey - He needs to make better decisions. That offensive foul on a drive to the hoop was just poor recognition. I liked the aggressiveness, he just has to play more under control. Once he does that, he should be fine. Afflalo - Needs to play more. Didn't score much, but he was solid on D as usual. And he rarely ever forces anything. He has a lot of poise for a rook. Jarvis - Still no J. He didn't get much time because he was cold and sucked on D. Tay ended up playing a lot 'cause the Tragic were going to 'Shard any time either him or Afflalo were on him. Sheed - Got his 7th T of the year. Not completely underserved, but not unwarranted either. It was fairly obvious the refs were screwing us over. He had a stellar first quarter, however, going 6 for 6 at one point and playing good D. Chauncey - Abused pretty much all their guards. Efficient game for him, scoring 20+ points on around 10 FGAs and getting to the line quite a bit. Rip - Player of the Game. He was on FIRE, scoring 30+ points on iirc, 50+% shooting. Maxie/Dice - Dice had a double-double, rebounding very well. Hit some shots too. Max did well. He has a pretty smooth stroke on that jumper now. The starters played a lot, which I don't like seeing as we were up double digits for much of the game, 20+ almost all through the third. They were clearly a bit gassed at the end. Decent win. The kids are coming along. I'm happy as long as we continue to give them time to develop.
I was at the Palace, in my usual seat overlooking the Pistons bench. It was tons of fun to cheer on the Pistons. A young couple sitting next to us was at their first Piston game, and loved it. They got a hoot out of how much yelling I do. There were some negatives in this game for sure, but plenty of positives too. I'll gleam over some of the bad stuff quickly. Yes, Dyess is wiped out, as far as I can tell, and yes, our play did drop off when he returned in the 2nd quarter. Our young guys were doing great. They had knocked the lead up to 25. We did not need our starters to return in the 2nd quarter of this game. Hayes played a short spell, and did pretty much nothing right, and Afflalo got the rest of his 1st half minutes and all his 2nd half minutes. Yes, it seemed like Flip was coaching with wrong thinking, imagining that Orlando was going to fold all the sudden, and then the bench could come in for extended garbage time. Nope, Flip, you got to sub in late 3rd quarter, assume the worst. Now the good stuff. We rocked in the first quarter, getting a 21 point lead. The game was somewhat anticlimactic after that. It was just a matter of whether we were going to put the game away early. That first quarter featured some very impressive post work by Sheed. Amir sure enough came in the game and played a good stretch of the 2nd quarter. He was very effective on the offensive glass, and at one point, the Pistons as a team had more offensive rebounds than Orlando had total rebounds. (Of course, we were shooting about 77% at that point too, so Orlando was not getting that many defensive board opportunities. A few blocks from Amir helped out cause too. After two straight offensive rebounds on the same play, Amir put the ball in the hoop for his only basket. Amir was not given a shot to take otherwise. JMAX hit a couple of much needed midrange jumpers in the game, plus he made one very impressive move from the left to the middle, ending in a short jumper. For the whole game, we outrebounded Orlando badly, with Dyess getting the most. Sheed was guarding Howard the most in the first quarter, and doing a pretty good job of it, but Dyess was taking his turns too. A couple of times, Afflalo was guarding Lewis, which would seem quite a mismatch. The ref blew the whistle on Afflalo the first time, seemingly arbitrarily, maybe just for pwar. Playing While A Rookie. Lewis then backed him down later and scored an easy bucket. But hey, Afflalo still looked capable of doing the job, maybe if given some more experience and a bit more of a fair whistle from the refs. Interesting that Orlando outscored us in quarters 2, 3, and 4. This included a 33 point 2nd quarter if I recall right. 49-18, yep, 33 points. Orlando hung in there, despite falling behind so far so fast. While we can certainly laugh at how easily our guards scored on Arroyo, it must be noted that they can score on a lot of guards. Meanwhile, Arroyo was having a particulary good shooting game and dishing the ball right and left to give Orlando good shots. Contrast that to earlier in the season when Nelson was their point guard. Nelson plays no D at all, and no way could match the point guard play of Arroyo. That game back then was easy. (And Dyess was not worn out at that point, the 2nd game of the season.) Their star, Lewis, hit one triple early and seemed to some extent to shoot Orlando right out of the game. I mean, you think that somehow they could get the ball into their star, Howard, right? They did, but we continually fouled Howard when they did and he only makes half his free throws. Howard's free throw shooting woes are a big weak spot for the Orlando team. Sheed ended up with serious foul trouble from the late 3rd quarter on when he picked up his 4th foul. Afflalo only got to take one outside shot that I recall, and he made it, a midranger. Stuckey, did get stuffed driving in the one time, but oh well, he has to keep doing what he does best. The more he drives in, the more comfortable it will be for him to do so. Open players will become more easy to see. Keep it up Stuck. When we need a score, there is Billups to drive in and get to the line. When we want to score some buckets, there is Rip with his steady as ever midrange game, and you better not give him an open look at a three. Great job of shooting by Rip tonight. Tay had a decent all around game. Nice passing. Key rebounds. Some scoring. Good solid D. He probably did play maybe a bit too much, but this was not a back to back, and we don't play for a few days. Still, I would like to get Sammy Mejia on the team, a lockdown defender, strong rebounder, and excellent ball handler. Tay could get some serious rest if Mejia was on the team, and could do a lot of what Tay does when he is playing all those minutes. Why do I want Samb on the team? To close out the 2nd quarter. Give us some shotblocking, and let Dyess get more rest than he did tonight. OK, about all I can think of at the moment. Overall, this was a very good win. Things may not be running as nicely as they could, but they are running down the right track. GO PISTONS!!!!!
How long before every C & PF tandem in the L has blocked Stuckey's shot? Are we sure Flip is awake during the games? He might as well be in a bathrobe with the paper under his arm. I don't know why he can't at least loosely follow his 1st half rotation(?) in the second. I actually thought he left Amir in for too long. He should have yanked him a little earlier to bring Sheed back in with more time. Flip met his quota though, no need to play Amir again. Central Division Champs here they come!!!!
Very good writeups in the last few posts. I enjoyed reading them. Yes things are going in the right direction now. This was kind of a must win game with how much importance the Magic were putting on it. You can't let them gain that kind of confidence with another win. Thats what burned us with the Cavs a couple of years ago. Starters came out great, Flips new substitution pattern worked out great in the 2nd quarter. Things did derail at times in the 2nd half but the magic never really got close, even with all the cheap calls. I think the plan was to go for the win in the 3rd quarter and give the guys the rest of the night off but they stopped executing like they did in the 1st half. Sure the shots are not always going to fall so easy but you have to stick with the game plan. Don't worry about the refs. League does review all games and hopefully will point these hacks in the right direction. You know its bad when Javie lets Sheed get away yelling at him. He knew it was a poorly called game. Pistons got the win. Get to face these guys again in a couple of weeks.
Obviously a fun game to watch in the first half. Rip with 14 FGs! CB doing damage. Sheed hitting a high percentage from the low block. Dyess almost matching Howard in rebounds (in 7 fewer minutes). I'll just go ahead and point out the problems for fun. Problem #1- ZERO free throws for Sheed, Dyess, JMax, and Amir??? 31 free throws for Dwight, Turk, and Shard??? You got to be kidding. Problem #2- Orlando won the turnover battle 9 to 14? Oh crap. That is their biggest weakness. Did you see that way Howard was losing the ball? And they still had less than 10? All in all, this was about as good as you could have expected Arroyo to handle the game for them (Maurice Evans was sort of invisible, eh?). Problem #3- Amir had 3 blocks in 9 minutes (I actually counted 5). The rest of the Pistons had 1 block in 231 minutes. Hmm. You know how we are letting Stuckey struggle through this ugly stretch? Well, Amir isn't struggling through anything. He's just kicking assyeah.
So is AA.

After leaving the game early in the second half with a knee injury, Gonzaga's Gary Hall Jr. returned to hit a 3-pointer from the left wing with 35.7 seconds left to put the Bulldogs ahead.
Marcus Smart led Oklahoma State (10-2) with 23 points but missed two free throws with 8.7 seconds left with the Cowboys trailing by two. Elias Harris grabbed the rebound on Smart's second miss, and Pangos was fouled in the backcourt before stepping to the line to drill both free throws.
Phil Forte then connected on a 3-pointer at the buzzer for Oklahoma State. Markel Brown contributed 16 points and Forte scored 15 for the Cowboys.
Gonzaga (13-1) completed a perfect five-game sweep of Big 12 competition in nonconference play.
No. 5 Indiana 69, Iowa 65 • Cody Zeller had 15 of his 19 points in the second half and fifth-ranked Indiana opened Big Ten play by holding off host Iowa. Victor Oladipo scored 14 points for the Hoosiers (13-1, 1-0 Big Ten), who snapped a four-game losing streak in Iowa City and have now won four straight since losing to Butler two weeks ago.
Saint Louis 60, No. 20 New Mexico 46 • In St. Louis, Cory Remekun scored a career-high 15 points, and the Billikens won their seventh straight.

A fatal shooting Friday night involving a LaRue County deputy sheriff is under investigation by Kentucky State Police.
Dispatched to investigate a reckless driving complaint report at 9:24 p.m., Deputy James E. Williamson, 24, reportedly spotted the suspect car and gave chase.
As the pursuit followed Ky. 1192 near Magnolia, KSP reports the suspect's vehicle spun out and came to a stop facing the deputy's cruiser. As the officer walked toward the suspect car, it reportedly accelerated and moved toward him.
A KSP statement says the deputy then fired two shots into the vehicle. The driver was struck in the head, police said, and the car ran off the road and into a ditch.
The suspect, who police have identified as 38-year-old Thomas E. Ferguson of Magnolia, was transported by LaRue County EMS ambulance to Hardin Memorial Hospital and later sent to University Hospital in Louisville where he died early Saturday morning. An autopsy is being conducted, KSP said.
The deputy was not injured, police said.
The cruiser was equipped with a mobile video recorder, however, KSP also has declined to provide the tape saying it has been logged into evidence and cannot be released at this time.
Alcohol was located in the suspect's vehicle and KSP said that appears to be a factor in the reckless driving.

Dear clever people out there
I'm currently trying to work something out...
The marker sentence is...
"After that, he plans to cycle"
Am I right in thinking it is a present simple with a future intention? Is that a term that students can look up in a grammar book - I can't find it anywhere in mine.
Any other information on form would be really appreciated

Discussion in 'Fantasy Sports Central' started by webz, Nov 2, 2007.
cool cool. you could also do '#'
Confirmed GM's webz roscoe ralphie warthog aurora dre linwood detteam We currently have 8 GM's which is great. There is still time for some last-minute additions. But we would need an even number. Good luck at the draft everyone.
I'll join, assuming we can get a 10th team.
The info you requested to be moved webz, has been placed in Post 1 at the bottom. In the future, please use the report post button (hazard sign) on each post to notify a staffer to accommodate any thread alterations. Just an idea. If I can get that list as text, I can post it and people will be able to search it alphabetically. That should save the problem of tracking down players individually by having to read the entire list.
OK cool. Thanks for the help. I will remember that. Text list on the way.
i won't be around for the draft, so i pre-ranked...and hopefully that works out okay!!
So who is excluded? Is it yahoo's pre-season top 140?
no check the first post of this thread. its too late to pre-rank now. if you didn't get a chance to exclude you can always check with me on the chat before you pick. or have the first post open in another window.
Thanks webz. I just went thru my list and crossed out the excluded.
I thot I was prepared...NOT
Okay, who knows how this weekly roster setting works? I've always been in daily leagues. It's 2:20 am Pacific after the Sonics/Pistons game and I can't seem to set the lineups for the week. I hope I don't blow the week's matchup! P.S. Oops. I just read an email from the Commish saying I'd be able to move around my lineup on Monday. Technically, it's Monday but pretty darn early. I'm all amped up from see the Pistons live! Such a thrill to see them live for me!!
oh wow didn't realize this was weekly lineups! should make it interesting
Sorry, what I meant was you should be able to move around your lineups on Sunday, for the week starting on Monday. It was probably too late seeing as it was after midnight. You should be locked in by now.
Yeah I didn't realizw what you meant about "weekly" until after the draft. Even though you only have to touch it once a week, it still seems like more work on the weekend trying to figure out who you are going to bench for a whole week. Should be interesting....I need to go back read the first page of the thread, but I assume that if we need add/drop from the waiver wire, it takes affect the following Monday??
Correct. If you put them in your starting lineup. That's why we have bench spots. So if one of your guys is only playing 2 games for the week, you might want to bench him for someone who is playing 4. To save you time figuring out how many games everyone is playing there are fantasy websites out there that tell you for free.
I just use the built in Opponents button on the toolbar to tell me whose playing that week and how many games and hope that whomever I decide to go with will have plenty of PT...since a couple of these guys may be true scrubs
or that. i always forget about using those yahoo functions. considering this is a scrubs league, there are still a fair number of good players out there on the wire.
wow dre i didn't know about that...pretty sweet. i've got both lowry and conley, just in case one stays in favor of the other over the course of the season
i've been trying 'edit lineup' all day but then when i click back on 'My Team' it doesn't show the changes...i hope it worked for this week...
Separate names with a comma.

Rabbits belong to the order Lagomorpha, which is divided into two families: Ochotonidae (pikas) and Leporidae (hares and rabbits). Leporidae has 11 genera, including the genus Oryctolagus, with just one species: O. cuniculus. This species is the wild European rabbit, from which all domestic rabbits descended. Wild and domestic rabbits live on every continent except Asia and Antarctica.
Wild rabbits live in mostly dry areas near sea level with soft, sandy soil for burrowing. If they need areas of cover, they live in grassy fields or forests.
Domestic rabbits vary tremendously in length, fur type, coloration and general appearance. For wild rabbits, the coat is gray, with black, brown or red scattered throughout. The underside is light gray, and the bottom of the tail is white.
Domestic rabbits range in size from 2-20 pounds (.9-9 kg). Wild rabbits weigh 3-5 pounds (1.5-2.5 kg). Males are usually heavier and taller than females.
Up to 12 years in captivity, but 6-8 years is more common. In the wild, life span is shorter due to predation.
In the wild:An opportunistic and omnivorous diet, which includes mostly fungi, plants, roots, tree bark, fruit, snails and worms.
At the zoo: 4 ounces (113 g) of hay and 2 cups of fruits and vegetables.
Females reach maturity at 6 months, and can breed up to 6 years of age. Breeding occurs mostly from February to September. Mating in rabbits is normally promiscuous, though males try to choose certain females. Unlike most mammals, rabbits do not come into estrus. Instead, males induce females to breed, as copulation triggers release of the egg.
The doe makes an underground nest with straw, vegetation and fur plucked from her underside. After a gestation of 28-34 days, the doe gives birth to a litter of four to eight young. Baby rabbits, called kits, are totally blind and have little hair at birth. A doe spends little time with her young, feeding them once or twice in a 24-hour period. This prevents detection of the kits by various predators.
Young rabbits develop rapidly, their eyes opening after 12-14 days. Within three weeks, they may leave the nest, and can eat solid food and drink water. At about 6 weeks of age, they no longer nurse from the mother.
Rabbits spend their days underground, foraging from evening until morning. They are constantly alert during their waking hours, prepared to run from predators if necessary.
Rabbits are sociable and live in colonies with other rabbits in large, complex burrow systems (warrens). A typical colony consists of six to 10 adults of both sexes. In large groups of rabbits, there is a hierarchical structure; the strongest dominant male and dominant female preside over the colony. The entire colony protects the warren or territory from intruders, and this includes other invading rabbits.
Originally classified as rodents, scientists determined that lagomorphs should have their own separate order. Although they belong to the same family, rabbits and hares are not the same animal. Rabbits and hares are physically different, starting with birth. Hare gestation lasts longer, about six weeks, and litter size rarely exceeds more than six. Doe hares do not make nests or dig burrows, instead they scrape out shallow holes in the ground. Hares give birth to newborns called "leverets" who are fully furred, have open eyes and ears, and can run within minutes of birth. Leverets weigh five times the weight of newborn rabbits. Leverets nurse for as long as eight to 12 weeks, grow at a much faster rate than kits, and reach 90% of adult size at only 12 weeks old. Once full grown, hares tend to be solitary.
People first domesticated rabbits in Spain (Stone Age paintings in caves depict pictures of rabbits), and then Romans bred rabbits as a source of food. By the 14th century, French monks selectively bred them to produce desirable genetic traits.
There are at least 45 distinct breeds of domestic rabbits. In the U.S., the largest rabbit organization is the American Rabbit Breeders Association (ARBA).
Woodland Park Zoo's rabbits live in the Family Farm, across from the sheep, pig and goat barn. The Family Farm has a Contact Area where children can touch sheep, goats and other domesticated animals. The Farm incorporates many common agricultural facilities and features an apple orchard, and gardening and composting areas.
Currently, no domestic breeds of rabbit are endangered. However, the World Conservation Union (IUCN) lists at least 13 species of rabbits and hares as endangered, threatened or vulnerable.
Unfortunately, rabbit breeding has negative consequences. Sea-going explorers left rabbits on islands as a food source for later voyages, with frequent devastating effects. In the mid-1800s, rabbits escaped from a rabbitry, and more than 20 million rabbits spread throughout Australia. They destroyed native plants, ate farm produce and damaged grazing lands. People try to control, confine or exterminate rabbits in countries all over the world.
However, rabbits provide benefits to some native species. Their burrowing loosens soil, helping new plants take root, and unused burrows provide shelter for other animals. A wide variety of carnivores eat rabbits for food. Also, rabbit droppings make good fertilizer.
The effort to save African mammals requires cooperation and support at the regional, national and international levels. You can help in this cause. Join and become active in a conservation organization of your choice. Don't buy products made from wild animal parts. Contact your elected representatives and express your views about conservation of endangered species and wild habitats.

What are Recreational Water Illnesses (RWIs)?
Recreational water illnesses (RWIs) are caused by germs spread by swallowing, breathing in mists or aerosols of, or having contact with contaminated water in swimming pools, hot tubs, water parks, water play areas, interactive fountains, lakes, rivers, or oceans. RWIs can also be caused by chemicals in the water or chemicals that evaporate from the water and cause indoor air quality problems. RWIs can be a wide variety of infections, including gastrointestinal, skin, ear, respiratory, eye, neurologic and wound infections. The most commonly reported RWI is diarrhea. Diarrheal illnesses can be caused by germs such as Crypto (short for Cryptosporidium), Giardia, Shigella, norovirus and E. coli O157:H7.
Where are Recreational Water Illnesses (RWIs) Found?
RWIs are caused by germs spread through contaminated water in swimming pools, water parks, water play areas, hot tubs, decorative water fountains, oceans, lakes, and rivers.
Swimming Pools, Water Parks, Water Play Areas
The most common RWI is diarrhea. Swallowing water that has been contaminated with feces containing germs can cause diarrheal illness.
Swimmers share the water -- and the germs in it -- with every person who enters the pool. On average, people have about 0.14 grams of feces on their bottoms which, when rinsed off, can contaminate recreational water. In addition, when someone is ill with diarrhea, their stool can contain millions of germs. This means that just one person with diarrhea can easily contaminate the water in a large pool or water park. People may not realize that although there is no standing water in interactive fountains/water play areas, the spray water will rinse any contaminants (for example, diarrhea, vomit, and dirt) down into the water holding area and be sprayed again. In other words, the water is recycled through the system.
Swallowing even a small amount of recreational water that has been contaminated with feces containing germs can make you sick.
To ensure that most germs are killed, check chlorine or other disinfectant levels and pH regularly as part of good pool operation.
Hot Tubs
Skin infections like "hot tub rash" are a common RWI spread through hot tubs and spas. Respiratory illnesses are also associated with the use of improperly maintained hot tubs.
The high water temperatures in most hot tubs make it hard to maintain the disinfectant levels needed to kill germs. That's why it's important to check disinfectant levels in hot tubs even more regularly than in swimming pools.
The germs that cause "hot tub rash" can also be spread in pools that do not have proper disinfectant levels and in natural bodies of water such as oceans, lakes, or rivers.
Decorative Water Fountains
Not all decorative fountains are chlorinated or filtered. Therefore, when people, especially diaper-aged children, play in the water, they can contaminate the water with fecal matter. Swallowing this contaminated water can then cause diarrheal illness.
Oceans, Lakes, and Rivers
Oceans, lakes, and rivers can be contaminated with germs from sewage spills, animal waste, water runoff following rainfall, fecal incidents, and germs rinsed off the bottoms of swimmers. It is important to avoid swallowing the water because natural recreational water is not disinfected. Avoid swimming after rainfalls or in areas identified as unsafe by health departments. Contact your state or local health department for water testing results in your area or go to EPA's beach site.

By creating a cognitive computing system that could play Jeopardy, IBM charmed the world with Watson, the system that beat two top champions of the quiz show. Since that famous game in February, 2011, IBM has engaged Watson on more practical pursuits, including solutions for the healthcare and finance industries.
But we're also using Watson to solve our own problems. In an organization as large as IBM, one of the biggest challenges is knowledge sharing. In IBM, it is generally true that for any technology question, there is at least one person in the company with the correct answer. But finding that person is too often impossible.
Over the years, there have been several solutions to this knowledge sharing problem. The proliferation of wikis and online communities is the most current attempt to provide a repository of knowledge and expertise. While these tools are immensely helpful and go a very long way toward solving the knowledge sharing problem, users still struggle to navigate this vast data source. Successful navigation requires some prior knowledge of who the experts are, and their ontology, or how they logically structure and organize their information.
So we know we have experts, data, and answers to just about every question. But we can't find a tool to help us sift through that vast store of information.
Enter Watson.
Watson excels as culling through pedabytes of information and deriving meaning from disparate sources. Watson can associate people with areas of expertise, and can place information in a historical context. Watson, therefore, is the ideal cognitive system for IBM'ers trying to solve problems for clients.
But Watson requires care and feeding to get to that seemingly magical state of expertise. The data store is built by submitting thousands of questions and providing links to the correct answers. It also helps to give Watson a data corpus for a subject area, even something as broad as cloud computing.
Imagine, if you will, that you had the opportunity to submit questions and answers for Watson about cloud computing, What questions would you want Watson to be able to answer? There are obvious questions, like "What is cloud computing?" and there are thousands of questions related to the technical depths below the umbrella phrase of "cloud computing." But what about less obvious questions? For example, is there agreement on who first coined the term "cloud computing?"
In the next few weeks, I'll be contributing to the database of cloud computing questions for Watson. If you have questions you think I should include, feel free to post them here.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Glad to here she's running better. You can probably play with that timing a little bit. usually you can advance a little more than factory specs and be ok. Just go two degrees at a time, keeping track of your changes, and see where she runs best at.
|Thanks for the input. I got out my trusty old timing light and found that the static advance was around 16BTDC. I spun the engine up and saw that the mechanical advance was working. I don't know how a mechanic with an analyzer could have messed it up that much. Oh well, it is running much better. Thanks for your help. OBTW, I repurchased "How to Hotrod Small Block Chevy Engines". It is a real good book that I had back in the 80s. Maybe I will get the old gal a new dress and add a few ponies. Thanks again.
|I'm assuming it's probably a small block V-8 in your truck. And I also think they were still using points in 1972. If that's the case first I would check dwell to make sure points are set correctly(a visual inspection of them is not a bad idea either), I think it should be around 30 degrees but I don't have specs handy. When your dwell is set then you need to check your base timing by disconnecting vacuum to distributor and checking timing marks with timing light. I think you should be around 4 or 6 deg. BTDC. If all that's good and it's still pinging you might want to get specs and check what total advance for your application should be. Also get some fresh gas, maybe you got some bad gas(happens). And I'm pretty sure your vacuum hose goes to ported vacuum(like you described), at least it does on all my Fords.
Chevy SB vacuum advance
I have a '72 Chevy truck, stock. I recently had it worked on and it now runs poorly. It pings under heavy accel. It feels like the advance curve is messed up. Visual inspection has me confused. The vacuum advance is connected to the service that provides no advance at idle (i.e. when the butterfly is closed). I always thought that you would have vacuum on the distributor except when engine was under full load. Should the vacuum advance be connected directly to the intake manifold? If someone could point me to any good books or web pages on engine timing vs RPM vs load I would be thankful.

Someone may have already done this if so hook me up! If not Lets see what we can muster together.
I am looking for any and all clone trooper soundbites with possible battle sounds. I want to put together about 15 minutes of this and loop it and have it playing while in armor. I have a buddy that has something similiar in his Desert trooper. His sounds like police radio chatter between troopers and dispatch. It gets alot of attention.

Discussion in 'The Trash Can' started by Vash01, Jan 13, 2013.
I found her as dull and robotic on the ice as she was off the ice.
I did not find her elegant at all. She always looked stiff/wooden, and not in a particularly attractive position. No lines. If she was a total package, it was a package of mediocrity, IMO. I did not dislike her, but did not particularly like her either.
Could've Chin really have won 85 Worlds with a clean LP? Chin skated better than Witt in the SP, IMO, and was still judged only 2nd. Tiffany's LP only had three triples planned - two toes and a sal. Even with better style and a clean skate, I don't think it would've been enough for the judges not to favor Witt. Tiffany really needed to include the 3 flip to put her over the top.
aside: Tiffany's 85 LP has always bothered me in its construction. The last music cut didn't seem to go with the slow piece preceding it at all, and the only jump planned at the end was a 2A-2t, whereas Witt had a 3t and then a 2A to finish. The second half of Tiffany's LP always felt empty to me somehow, especially coming after her beautifully constructed 84 LP.
Who knows for sure, she might not have won, but it was her best ever chance IMO, unless one thinks 1986 was a better one but she would have had to beat Witt's LP there too (if she only beat Thomas but not Witt, it actually would have made Witt the new winner), and Witt's 86 LP was stronger than 85 and Chin was no longer U.S Champion. I think she might have only since Witt's marks werent as high as would be expected for her skate, indicating they were saving room, and Chin's marks at the 85 Worlds were very generous for two enormous errors. I wouldnt read anything into the short program result, Witt always won the short program from 84-88 if she skated cleanly.
I agree. She is also the opposite of some of the others, someone who seems MUCH more appreciated decades later than she actually was when she skated.
I think that Elaine Zayak's appeal is kind of dated. Her personality is wonderful both today and then, but who wants to see five hundred triple toe loops? She was a great skater, but I think her programs stand up to time better from her comeback in 1994.
Elaine Zayak 1994 US Nationals SP
Nancy was wonderful, and so far in this thread her detractors have not made a case. She was a lazy and sometimes lousy pro skater, but her competitive programs had eye catching qualities. I believe it takes a sense of ladies skating history to appreciate it, but her skating was interesting and her body was in excellent shape in 94, allowing her to achieve a triple lutz that, were it performed today, the other ladies might envy.
Kerrigan's triple lutz in the LP at Lillehammer was actually small and not that strong compared to both Baiul and Harding, one of the few valid justifications judges at that event had for giving Bauil higher technical marks which led to her controversial win.
The lutz is just one jump in a 4 minutes program. Besides, even if Nancy's 3lutz was judged as small-ish, it was done around the 3 minutes mark. Coupled the lateness of the lutz with the 3t-3t and 3s-2t, Nancy should've had the technical edge over Baiul.
I wonder how long it will be until there is another LP at US Nationals with both a 3A and a 3/3 . . .
You can't forget what Zayak brought to ladies skating (or may be YOU can)- athleticism which was seriously lacking. By your logic, all the skaters of the past, including Ito, Button, Salchow, et al. will have no appeal at all just because everyone is doing what they did in the past (Ito somewhat of an exception in the 3A).
About Nancy, why can't you accept that people have different tastes when it comes to liking/not liking skaters? There is no need to be condescending. Many of us here are very familiar with FS over the years, so you are not the only one that knows the history of ladies skating, and skating in general.
I have seen plenty of posts that stated specifically what they did not like about Nancy's skating. You are only reading what you want to read.
Regarding Nancy at Lillihammer: I thought the obvious reason to mark her down on the technical mark was the 2flip. The lutz was fine, beautiful position, correct edge , nice flow, performed toward the end of the program, I didn't find it particularily small. Deserving of +1 or +2 under COP IMO. It would be much easier to knock Oksana on any of : 3Flip (2footed), 2Toe (intended to be 3Toe), 2A-2T (her only combination and a too easy one, yet it was messy ). I would have totally given Nancy the technical mark, though I do think Oksana deserved higher
on Artistic Impression.
Right! Not to mention Tonya had all the triples, Lutz and Flip on correct/deep edges , and pretty much every jump entered and exited with great speed/flow, and monstrously big. She skated with abandon, flew with great speed down the ice and had powerful spins too.
Exactly. Because of her doing all those triples the ISU had to demand no more than 2 of any type of triple which led to many women doing 5 or even 6 different type of triples in less than a decade from then. This wouldnt have ever happened as fast without her. For all the flak she gets for all her triple toes, she could also do 3 different type of triples and was very consistent landing all of them, which was rare back then. Her much maligned artistry, which was indeed quite wretched when she debuted in 80 and 81, had also improved greatly by the time of the 84 Olympics, she had a beautiful layback, some nice musical sense, but the judges and USFSA had already dumped her down the drain by then so it didnt matter.
Plus the better spins for Kerrigan, plus the better steps and connecting elements. Yes, technically, Nancy Kerrigan was better than Oksana Baiul.
I thought that is what happened, Nancy had the higher technical marks and Oksana had the higher artistic marks, but the total score was a tie, and Oksana ultimately won by tie-breaker, which was the higher artistic marks for the freeskate.
No, Oksana had better technical marks...Almost 20 years later, I can't understand ! lol
Durrrrrrrrr . . . thanks for the link . . . Darn, my explanation made me feel better about the literal placement of the skaters at that competition.
The judges from the Czech Republic, Ukraine, and China gave Baiul higher technical marks than Kerrigan. The British, Canadian, and German judges gave higher marks to Kerrigan, while the Polish, American, and Japanese judges awarded both skaters the same mark.
3 judges had Oksana higher (each by 0.1), 3 judges had them tied, and 3 judges had Nancy higher (one by 0.1 ane two by 0.2), so Nancy's technical marks were a tiny bit higher overall. The artistic impression marks were an exact tie, with 3 judges having Oksana 1st by 0.1, 3 judges having them tied, and 3 judges having Nancy 1st by 0.1. In terms of total marks, 4 had Oksana higher by 0.1, 4 had Nancy higher (3 by 0.1 and one by 0.3), and one had them tied, with it coming down to the 2nd mark tiebreaker for that judge.
Baiul had better spins than anyone else- better positions, creativity, centering, musicality. I don't know where you saw the better spins for Kerrigan. nancy's spins were just OK. Oksana's spins were highlights.
How did we go from US national champions to Baiul vs. Kerrigan?
I honestly think Nancy in 94 was much more pleasing to watch than Oksana. I know it's unpopular, but Oksana's program seemed so sloppy to me. Nancy seemed very much in control and well-trained while Oksana was so haphazard but obviously skated from the heart. I guess it is all a matter of opinion as far as presentation, but there is no way Oksana was better technically that night as Nancy had such a strong jumping technique when she was on. I voted for Kristi, but I truly think Nancy's skating holds up in this day and age. She is certainly a 6.0 skater, but she holds up much better than Jill Trenary or Roz Sumners. I think Jill Trenary is someone who would have done quite well under COP, though if that makes any sense. She had some unique combos and was great at figures so I think she would have been quite good with footwork and transitions if that is what she needed to do. As it stands though, her programs are just so eighties and dated. Talk about a skater who got out just in time. She would never have been a factor by 92.
Kristi has been such a great spokesperson for the sport for so many years and I really admire how she maintained her technical ability as a pro. But I've always had a soft spot for Debi Thomas and really admire her accomplishments both on and off the ice.
And I'm so happy for Nicole that she seems to be rebuilding her life and I hope she'll be a future role model for overcoming addiction and making positive change in your life.
Because focusing on the 1994 Olympics allows for a smooth segue to the real subject of every thread, the top official finisher of the 1994 US Nationals
I liked several of the skaters in the poll like Nancy, Kristi and Roslyn, but I chose Debi Thomas. To me, she was very unique with her own style and very original.
which should have never happened. Kerrigan should have had a higher or atleast equal technical mark from every judge. Had Bauil won strictly by artistic marks her win could have been justified, and would have gotten less controversy, but that 3 judges tied them artistically and gave Bauil the win by virtue of her technical mark is why her win is considered such a farce to this day.
I am sorry but you have to be kidding. In her LP she barely did any spins at all. She had no combination spin, no layback spin, no scratch spin. What she had was a camel catchfoot which was nice, a really ugly and weak death drop, another camel variation which was nice but almost the exact same spin as her first one, and a short side spin just after it. Not that Kerrigan is an exceptional spinner but atleast she displayed more of the basic types of spins as a LP should, and a couple of good sit spins and a scratch spin.
Yeah, thanks for the correction ... I mistakenly transposed the first initial of Caryn's first name in spelling her last name.
Re Kerrigan -- I didn't say I thought she was "artistic," I said she was a very athletic skater who looked beautiful on the ice, so yes, her strong suit was technical and athletic abilities, but also her physical beauty on the ice is something that made her stand out. She was not just a pretty princess though -- I think she was probably tomboyish growing up with two brothers. The one thing that hampered Kerrigan's career was her inconsistency (a tendency to get tight under pressure I think). Ironically, she overcame those nerves under the intense '94 Olympic spotlight that ensued re increased media coverage post "knee-whacking" scandal.
Re Oksana, as I said: "precocious artistry." However, Oksana lacked technical consistency. Even though Oksana looked absolutely beautiful in the air on her jumps, she often landed them doublefooted, and she had trouble doing jump combinations. She simply needed help in further developing her technique on jumps, IMHO. But she was rewarded with the Olympic medal for her precocious artistry and decided to retire too soon. I think Oksana had a very overly emotional diva-esque personality and she lacked psychological maturity, but yes her expressiveness and gorgeous line, movement qualities and aesthetically-pleasing positions on the ice were beyond her years.


text: Retrospective takes a look back at the 1956 Olympics The key facts in relation to these Olympics are:- American figure skaters dominated the singles events at these Olympics, winning 5 of the 6 medals (Ingrid Wendl of Austria winning the bronze medal in the ladies competition) Hayes Alan Jenkins wins the Olympic title. He had finished 4th at the 1952 Olympics (won by Dick Button). In the lead up to the 1956 Olympics, he had won the world title on 3 consecutive occasions between 1953-55, and he retained his world title 2 weeks after the Olympics to win it for a 4th consecutive time. He then retired to pursue a legal career. He later married 1960 Olympic champion, Carol Heiss. Between 1953 and his retirement in 1956, he remained unbeaten. A good free skater, his main strength was in school figures, where he would build up huge leads. He would then look to defend that lead with often conservative free skating performances. Hayes Alan Jenkins main rival was Ronnie Robertson. Robertson was the greatest free skater of his era. A renowned showman, he was known as "the king of spin" and "the human blur" due to the quality and speed of his spins. Some believe that he was the fastest spinner in figure skating history, with NASA scientists once estimating that he could spin at 420 revolutions a minute (which translates to over 100mph)! His jumps were just as good as well, and he became the first skater to land a triple salchow in competition at the 1955 World Championships. Although Hayes Alan Jenkins remained undefeated between 1953 and his retirement in 1956, he was involved in some titanic battles with Robertson. Robertson would normally win the free skating section, but the huge leads Jenkins would build up in the compulsories (which made up 60% of the score) meant that Jenkins always won. In fact, Robertson only ever lost the free skate to Jenkins once - at the 1956 U.S. Nationals. Nevertheless, in the Olympic competition itself, Robertson's free program was so good, that he almost succeeded in eroding Jenkins enormous lead from the compulsories, to take the title. In fact, it was so close, that it took the judges 2 hours to calculate that Jenkins had won by just 7 tenths of a point. Robertson later said of the loss: ''That cost me $1 million'' - what he believed he could of made from ice show contracts had he won the gold. Instead, after retiring at the end of the 1955/56 season, he signed a 2 year contract for $100,000 with Ice Capades. Sadly, Robertson passed away in 2000 at the age of just 62 from complications from pneumonia. He once said that he "would like to be remembered as the best skating entertainer." In terms of Robertsons retirement without a world or Olympic title, the results were at the time, and remain, controversial. Robertson's amateur career ended with him being accused of claiming excessive expanses during a European tour. Consequently, he was almost disqualified from Nationals. Robertson's father, Albert, stated: "This thing reeks of politics....I have so much stuff, I could blow the lid off....This is ridiculous....If Ronnie is to be charged, at least he should be given the full story and the full facts....They fix it, they rig it so that Ronnie cannot beat the Jenkins figures in his free skating." Furthermore, at the time, Robertson was involved in a relationships with the actor, Tab Hunter (before embarking on a career in acting, Hunter was actually a figure skater who competed in both singles and pairs). In fact, Hunter actually helped finance Robertson's amateur career. In his autobiography, Hunter recounts: "Years later, [I was] told…[that] there were plenty of whispers behind our backs about me and Ronnie….[and that]… a well-connected person….said, 'Ronnie Robertson didn't have a chance at the Worlds as long as he was with Tab Hunter'". Hayes Alan Jenkin's younger brother, David, won the bronze. David Jenkins would go on to win gold at the 1960 Olympics. Tenley Albright wins the Olympic title in the ladies event. Albright had won the silver medal at the 1952 Olympics behind Jeannette Altwegg of Great Britain. After winning that Silver, Albright then won the world title for the first time at the 1953 world championships. However, she lost her world title the following year to Gundi Busch of West Germany. This made Busch the favourite for the Olympic title in 1956. However, immediately after winning the 1954 world title, Busch decided to take up an offer from the Hollywood Ice Revue, and promptly retired. Albright then regained her world title at the 1955 world championships, re-establishing herself as the favourite for the Olympic title. Her main challenger for the title was her compatriot, Carol Heiss. However, just 2 weeks before the Olympics, Albright cut her right ankle joint to the bone with her left skate when she was brought down by a rut in the ice. Nevertheless, her father, a surgeon, was able to stitch it up and she was able to recover in time to compete. Albright won both the compulsories and the free program narrowly over Heiss, to take the title. Albright and Heiss competed again 2 weeks after the Olympics at the World Championships. The contest was another close one, with Heiss taking the title. Nevertheless, shortly afterwards, Albright would beat Heiss at U.S. Nationals. Albright then retired to pursue a medical career as a surgeon. Heiss continued competing for another 4 years, and went on to take the 1960 Olympic title. Going into the Olympics, the favourites for the pairs title were Frances Dafoe & Norris Bowden. They were the reigning world champions, having won the world title on 2 consecutive occasions between 1954-55. They had also developed new elements, such as overhead Lasso lifts, throw jumps, and twist lifts. Nevertheless, the overhead lifts were hugely controversial, with many European judges arguing that they were not permitted by the rules (an argument which was not ultimately resolved until 1959, with a change in the rules). However, during their free skate at the Olympics, Defoe and Bowden had a problem on a lift which caused them to finish after their music had finished. The judges split 6-3 in favour of Sissy Schwarz & Kurt Oppelt, who thereby took the Olympic title.

No bacterium lives alone – it is constantly encountering members of its own species as well as other kinds of bacteria and diverse organisms like viruses, fungi, plants and animals. To navigate a complex world, microbes use chemical signals to sense and communicate with one another.
Filmed live on January 28th, 2013, at ASM's headquarters, catch a glimpse into the fascinating language of bacteria with discussions by Bonnie Bassler, Princeton University, and Steven Lindow, University of California, Berkley.
Dr. Bonnie Bassler, Princeton University
Bonnie Bassler Ph.D. is a Howard Hughes Medical Institute Investigator and the Squibb Professor of Molecular Biology at Princeton University. The research in her laboratory focuses on the molecular mechanisms that bacteria use for intercellular communication. This process is called quorum sensing. Bassler's research is paving the way to the development of novel therapies for combating bacteria by disrupting quorum-sensing-mediated communication. Dr. Bassler was awarded a MacArthur Foundation Fellowship in 2002. She was elected to the American Academy of Microbiology in 2002 and made a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science in 2004. Dr. Bassler was the President of the American Society for Microbiology in 2010-2011; she is currently the Chair of the American Academy of Microbiology Board of Governors. She is also a member of the National Science Board and was nominated to that position by President Barak Obama. The Board oversees the NSF and prioritizes the nation's research and educational priorities in science, math and engineering.
Dr. Steven Lindow, University of California, Berkeley
Steven Lindow Ph.D. is a Professor at the University of California, Berkley where his research focuses on various aspects of the interaction of bacteria with the surface and interior of plants. Dr. Lindow' s lab uses a variety of molecular and microscopy-based methods to study the ecology of bacterial epiphytes that live on the surface of plants as well as certain bacteria that are vascular pathogens of plants. They also study bacteria that live in and on plants that are fostered by consumption of the alkaloids produced by endophytic fungi. The longer-term goal of their research is to improve plants' productivity by achieving control of plant diseases through altering the microbial communities in and on plants. Dr. Lindow is a member of the National Academy of Sciences, and was elected to fellowship in both the American Academy of Microbiology and the American Association for the Advancement of Science in 1999.

Just as a courtesy here is some of the information that you can find on the other website, for those that can't be bothered to follow the link!
Lots of offers, regular payouts, still around post the CPA network cull of the last few years! They are nothing like as active now in marketing their services as they once were but then again that could be said about the whole affiliate network market. Rest assured there are still people making huge amounts of money promoting the sorts of offers Market Leverage and other networks carry.
My favourite network in terms of customer support. They use their own tracking solution to aren't affected by the numerous downtimes that that other well known beast encounters. If you are completely new to affiliate marketing through a network I'd suggest you start with Peerfly, everything about their website is straight forward, simle, yet functional.
Google's Penguin and Panda updates have shaken the world wide web to its core, what was up is now down and what was down is now up. This makes finding a reliable tool to help with things like link building and content syndication a nightmare. Magic Submitter isn't a network, isn't a "method", it's just a piece of software that makes all the things you should be doing anyway much easier. It will save you an absolute age.
Used it for years and still rely on it for every bit of market research I do. It's the only piece of software you'll need to dig up productive niche markets and once you've found them it'll also show you exactly what type of link profiles are working best in that market. If you are serious about optimising websites for organic traffic then as far as I'm concerned you need Market Samurai.
Obviously there's way more content on the proper website, this is just a small snippet of the sort of things being talked about on themakemoneyonline.net

Patch 43 re-commentaried. this patch is mostly the top level entries to 'task move to node' code, and the level directly beneath that (task move to remote, task move home, etc.). This code was full of direct uses of printk, along with not checking results, and even an unimplemented function, returning success.
Work has picked up this week. Minor hiccups, nothing too ugly. I had more problems dealing with the people who had technical problems than I did the technical problems. Seriously, i was about that far from just throwing in the towel when everyone just seemed to decide to stop annoying me. teaching my boss to use email has been a rather arduous task, and i don't think he'll ever stop double clicking internet links.
We're still doing the 'you need written specifications' dance. He just wants it to 'work like windows'. only with auto-vpn dialhome, remapping all the keys and some of the pages of the application... Its an unending pile of suck.
Clubbing with the roommate has been entertaining, we've really been running ragged. Looks like I'll be doing some house cleaning for another party tomorrow. at least when we party at home, I get more patches committed. ;)

JGs enjoy Festive Funday at Emirates Stadium
Four hundred young Arsenal fans flocked to Emirates Stadium on Thursday, January 3 for the Junior Gunners' Festive Funday.
The eagerly-anticipated annual event saw the JGs enjoy an action-packed day in the company of the Gunners' first-team squad.
The youngsters were given the chance to watch the team's morning training session and made the most of it, creating banners and practising their favourite chants in preparation for cheering the players on.
Their efforts did not go unnoticed, with Arsene Wenger coming over at the end of the session to thank them for their raucous support.
The afternoon was spent in the company of the Gunners' stars.
JGs took part in a signing session, getting pictures with the team, and enjoyed a stint in a state-of-the-art games room alongside the players.
Lukas Podolski challenged JGs to games of EA SPORTS FIFA 13 while Carl Jenkinson took on young fans on the air hockey tables. The likes of Theo Walcott, Jack Wilshere, Kieran Gibbs and Tomas Rosicky were also on hand, providing tips to the JGs as they honed their skills in a series of urban football challenges.
A specially-produced Arsenal pantomime - The Greatest Fairy Tale Ever Told - featuring guest appearances from a host of first-team players including a starring role for Per Mertesacker as the giant from Jack in the Beanstalk - brought the day to a dramatic close.
Have a look at our picture gallery from the event, below. And keep your eyes peeled for a video of the day, coming soon to Arsenal Player!
Pictures from the day can be downloaded from Arsenal Pics next week. Look out for an e-mail update from the Junior Gunners team
