Discussion in 'The Trash Can' started by haribobo, Dec 2, 2010.
Who will make the team? So many options! Multiple choice allowed, obv. as there's 3 spots...
Does the US Junior Champion automatically get a spot?
U.S. Junior ladies champs or medalists that have been selected for Junior Worlds in recent years:
Agnes Zawadzki (2010)
Mirai Nagasu, Caroline Zhang, Ashley Wagner (2007)
Kimmie Meissner & Katy Taylor (2004)
Caroline Zhang! She's got the experience!
BTW, 2006 Junior champ Megan Hyatt went to 2006 Junior Worlds as the 1st alternate after Katy Taylor declined the assignment and decided to go only to Four Continents (she was initially assigned to both competitions).
I will be very interested to see whether or not 8 different U.S. ladies (and 9 different U.S. men) are assigned to 2011 Four Continents, Junior Worlds, and Worlds.
Let's see how Christina Gao, Yasmin Siraj and Kristiene Gong all fare at the Junior Grand Prix Final next week...
I'm torn between 5 girls-Hicks (or whoever will win jr ladies), Lam, Siraj, Agnes Z (depending on whether she gets 4cc or worlds) and Gao (same here)
Hopefull thinking, but I picked Gao, Hicks, and Kulgayko. I think Courtney will win the Jr. title this year unless she has a meltdown. She's made a huge progress this year, and I really want her to do well at the Nationals, and then to be assigned to Jr. Worlds.
It wouldn't surprise me if Agnes gets the nod to go to JW, knowing the USFS, but I'd rather see her at 4CC if she doesn't make the world team.
I picked Gao, Siraj and Lam.
Zawadzki, Siraj, and Lam.
I'm assuming Gao goes to senior worlds and/or 4CC. If Agnes goes to Worlds and/or 4CC, then the next person to take her place would probably be Cesario, Baga if she's recovered from her injury by then, or Kulgeyko if she wins the junior title (which I totally think she can)/whoever does win the junior title. Usually the skaters sent to Junior Worlds skate at senior nationals, except for the junior champion if she put up an impressive score (Agnes last year). Siraj I think is on the team for sure so long as she skates decently well at nationals. The second spot will probably go to another senior lady, and the third the junior champion.
I wouldn't be surprised if USFSA assigns Gao and Zawadzki to 4CC even if neither makes the World team, I guess they could do 4CC and Jr. Worlds, but if the USFSA wants to spread the wealth, then the World Team, 4CC Team, and Junior Worlds team could all be comprised of different skaters. I could forsee this happening if the results are close at nationals. For example if the results were say:
1.) Nagasu
2.) Flatt
3.) Wagner
4.) Gao
5.) Zawadzki
6.) Czisny
7.) Siraj
8.) Lam
9.) Dobbs
10.) Cesario
Then I could see the USFSA sending Nagasu and Flatt to Worlds, Wagner, Gao, and Zawadzki to 4CC, and Siraj, Lam, and either Dobbs or the junior ladies Champion (say Kulgyeko) to Junior Worlds.
I hope so! I would love to see 8 different ladies get the chance to compete for ISU championship ranking points.
Cold and cruel.........
Well judging by how she's been skating recently, I feel like she'd be pretty happy if she were assigned to junior worlds. I mean, the USFSA DID assign Ashley to junior worlds last season and she was older than Caroline is now.
That's because Ashley had already taken herself out of consideration for 4CC before Nationals. The USFS originally assigned her to Jr. Worlds so she would have a chance to earn ISU championship ranking points for 2009-10 if she wanted.
3 girls make the junior world team.
who, so many skaters, Gao, Agnes, Vanessa, Yasmin, Kiri, Kristen, Samantha -not to mention who skates junior level this year. those are senior choice let alone junior, but Gao, Agnes, has a good chance at making world team with Vanessa , Yasmin, Kiri, without side hopes.
i can see Gao and Agnes both finishing in top 6 let out top 4
I actually laughed pretty hard. Oh Caroline, she has time.
I agree about Gao and Zawadzki being capable of doing well at senior worlds, and I think there is a good shot one of them will go to senior worlds, but I kind of doubt the USFSA would send them both to senior world considering we only have 2 ladies spots this year. Of course it could happen, but I tend to think at least one of Nagasu, Flatt, Wagner, or Czisny would accompany one of the youngsters at Worlds, unless of course Christina and Agnes both skate lights out and those I mentioned above skate really poorly in comparison, because then Christina and Agnes probably would both be sent to Worlds.
I said Gao, Siraj, and Lam.
Gao for jumps, Lam for spins, and Siraj for PCS. I dont really enjoy watching Sawadzki but morese than Flatt. and I'll say Caroline Zhang for alternate (she is young enough)
Gao is like a no duh for the juniors she can compete with the russian juniors but she isnt the key to three spots to worlds as of now. I see so much potential in Siraj especially as an artistic skater, like a Czisny with not as pretty spins/spirals but stronger jumps. Lam has spins that blow my mind. They arent like Czisny quality but the centering is great, but her jumps are so tiny. Along with Gao, Siraj and Lam are going to do well as seniors and they're going to need the experience.
Hate me if you want about that Zawadzki part. i do like her music though. I'm predicting two years of positive improvement for Zhang. To keep her ranking up i think USFS can send her to jr worlds as the alternate.
send Dobbs, Zawadzki, and Wagner to 4CC. Dobbs has yet to shine. Wagner gets her points too. Plus, Wagner can prove that she can be part of the world team next year (she hasnt really proven herself here).
and then worlds i would have to pick nagasu for sure, and then chose flatt or czisny depending on how they do at gpf and nationals
I didn't vote for her, but Courtney Hicks could definitely be a factor, especially if she continues to perfect her 3F+3T. She scored just under 100 points for her FS at Coasts.
I really hope USFSA puts the top 3 ladies from Nationals on the 4CC team (and they accept of course). I am sure the top skaters from Japan will there, our top skaters should be there too. Good practice for worlds.
Cesario is on the upswing, so I feel like she has a decent shot at Junior Worlds, especially if Gao and/or Zawadzki are sent to senior worlds and/or 4CC instead.
Would it be your wish? Is it more advantageous with such a deep and pretty even field to spread competitions around to give everybody a chance, or is it wiser to give top skaters one more competition opportunity if they wish it? Same question applies to Men, though the leaders there are a bit more pronounced.
I voted for Gao, Zawadski, Siraj but I ignored 4CC. I think my wish would be to send US Women ##3, 4, 5 to 4CC and the remaining eligibles to JW (or, rather, 2 remaining eligibles and one Junior who might take it all) , provided the results are close. If somebody is far behind in scores, I would reconsider and make them wait for a year. With Men it's a bit of a different story, as I imagine score differential might be much greater.
What do you all think?
I think it will be Gao, Zawadski, and Siraj/Hicks/Lam. If Christina and Agnes go to 4CC, then I think it could be the latter 3. Cesario might factor in if Gao and Zawadski are sent to 4CC. I don't think I've ever been as excited about both the junior and senior women's competition at nationals.

Nice gun
How do U shoot it with the flat floor plate? I had to get another pinky extension for my Compact P99 because I just couldn't do well with the flat floorplate.
SW99c 9mm
Nice gun
How do U shoot it with the flat floor plate? I had to get another pinky extension for my Compact P99 because I just couldn't do well with the flat floorplate.
It's all in the grip. My teacher in this regard is a certified trainer who maintains that it's the second and third fingers which provide the significant grip, *regardless* of the length of the pistol grip. That's how I learned to shoot, and it works.
Good looking gun there Kansas. You got a good teacher there to as he told you right.
On re-reading my response I see that it could be interpreted as dismissive - it wasn't meant that way. I was just saying that I got lucky in running into a teacher who taught me how to handle short-grip pistols early on. I know many who prefer the grip extension, and there's no harm in that. When I had a G26 I added grip extensions to my mags - partly in search of accuracy I found illusive with that little pistol, partly because I liked the way they looked on that gun.
As to the SW99 - I think the flat bottom *looks* cool-er on that gun.
And, in the spirit of full disclosure, I am no match shooter even with my full-sized PT1911 or my HK USPc. But inside 10 yards (defensive range) I'm confident I can punch appropriate holes, with or without grip extensions. For the time being, good enough for me.
Much of an opportunity to shoot it yet? I'd like to hear what you think. I've been looking at comparable Taurus (pt-111), Bersa Thunder 9 and a CZ. I'm looking sub $400 which limits my selection, of course.
I shot my compact P99 yesterday - which is essentially the same gun that he has in the photo (the S&W is the clone of the Walther).
Mine was dirty from a year of carry, and I disassembled the striker in the slide last week. So, I shot it yesterday to make sure I put it together right
Its my fav compact pistol
Nice looking little pistol.
I've never had a problem shooting the Glock 26 and 27 w/out the pinky extension. I tend to agree the second and third fingers are where the grip tension is. Even rapid fire strings can be pulled off, though a rest for the pink might help things there a bit.
How does the SW99 stack up to the Walther? Is it worth the buy? Shipwreck seems to like the SW99 and the P99?
How does the compact stack up to a mini-Glock? Are they any better of a pocket pistol? If so, that might be a buy for me.
I carried a Glock 26 for 8 years. Never found it that accurate for me due to the Glock trigger. In 2005 when I discovered that the P99 came with a tennifer coating (the SW99 has a melonite finish - which is almost the same as tennifer).
Now, I always prefer guns w/ 4" barrels for the longer site radius. But, for a compact, the P99c A/S is the most accurate gun in that size that I have ever shot.
I do have a SW99, and I almost got a SW99 compact last year, actually. The shop was eventally able to order the Walther, though.
I took my fullsize SW99 out to the range yesterday. Great gun
Now I've got a problem - I have three favorite carry pieces. Gotta sort this out....

New program aims to turn the once-homeless into leaders
By PAUL FEELY
New Hampshire Union Leader | October 13. 2013 12:22AM
That's the basic idea behind a new program launched this fall by the New Hampshire Coalition to End Homelessness (NHCEH). Dubbed "Granite Leaders," the six-month educational program aims to teach homeless and formerly homeless people leadership skills that will enable them to advocate on issues affecting the community. The program, which will run from Nov. 14 through next April, is funded by the New Hampshire Housing and Finance Authority.
Through the free program, these future Granite Leaders will connect with local, state and national leaders to become part of a network of skilled advocates focused on improving the quality of life in homeless communities across New Hampshire.
The NHCEH has received more than 20 applications. The only requirement to participate was that applicants must have experienced homelessness at some point in their lives.
"We're looking to empower people who have experienced homelessness to find their voice, to be better advocates for themselves and the homeless population," said Michele Talwani, director of economic development and marketing at Families in Transition in Manchester and Concord, which works closely with the NHCEH.
Chrissy Simonds of Manchester applied to the Granite Leaders program. Simonds said she and her infant son became homeless a few years ago because of problems where she lived.
"I want to learn how to tell my story, and how to help others tell theirs, to change the way homeless people are perceived," said Simonds. "Not everyone who is homeless uses drugs or are alcoholics. Some people choose to leave bad situations for their own safety or the safety of their kids, like I did."
Simonds said she has offered testimony at the State House on the need for funds and services for the homeless, and she recently wrote a blog entry on the same topic.
"I'm hoping to learn skills that will help me continue doing this in a professional manner," said Simonds. "I want to become a better public speaker and writer and learn how to connect with a wider range of people to become a better advocate. Everyone who has experienced homelessness has an important story to tell, and I want to learn how to help them."

Cardiac Stem Cells
Patent # WO2006052925 A3 | 05/14/2009
Human cardiac stem cells can be isolated from endomyocardial biopsies. Such cells mediate cardiac regeneration and improve heart function in a mouse infarct model. The cells can be used for autologous, allogeneic, syngeneic, or xenogeneic therapeutic applications in patients. The stem cells can be genetically modified to enhance their therapeutic activity.
Preventing Arrhythmias Associated With Cell Transplantation
Patent # WO2005092033 A3 | 09/27/2007
Skeletal myoblasts are an attractive cell type for transplantation since they are autologous and resistant to ischemia. However, clinical trials of myoblasts transplantation in heart failure have been plagued by ventricular tachy-arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death. The pathogenesis of these arrhythmias is poorly understood, but may be related to the fact that skeletal muscle cells, unlike heart cells, are electrically isolated by the absence of gap junctions. An in vitro model of myoblasts transplantation into cardiomyocyte monolayers can be used to investigate the mechanisms of transplant-associated arrhythmias. Co-cultures of human skeletal myoblasts and rat cardiomyocytes result in reentrant arrhythmias (spiral waves) that reproduce the features of ventricular tachycardia seen in patients receiving myoblasts transplants. These arrhythmias can be terminated by nitrendipine, an L-type calcium channel Mocker, but not by the Na channel blocker lidocaine. Genetic modification of myoblasts to stably express the gap junction protein connexin 43 decreases arrhythmogenicity in co-cultures. It similarly can be used to increase the safety of myoblasts transplantation in patients.

Reducing Economic Risk: Mathematical analysis will play crucial role in restoring credit confidence
Credit market turmoil—driven by the sub-prime mortgage crisis and fueled by fallout from financial securities known as collateralized debt obligations—has led to huge banking losses in recent months and continues to rattle Wall Street.
Rene Carmona and Ronnie Sircar, two leading experts in financial mathematics at Princeton, warn that society ignores at its peril the mathematics behind the risk of financial innovations like these.
"Early successes and handsome profits are at the root of a dangerous proliferation of dubious loans that were underwritten by banks and then sanctioned by overly optimistic rating agencies," said Carmona, whose research explores the general mathematical framework of credit risk and examines methods for assessing extreme risk. He has developed a course on rare events and extreme risks.
"Given the complexity of these instruments, it is very difficult to assess their potential downsides—to tease out and anticipate the factors that contribute to a default."
As such, departments like operations research and financial engineering at Princeton play a crucial role in restoring confidence in the markets. "We are able to investigate financial sector innovations in a way that, because of time and profit pressures, industry players cannot," said Sircar.
Collateralized debt options, or CDOs for short, are packages of securities that are sliced into pieces, or "tranches," and then sold to investors. The riskiest slices—those with the highest chance of default—earn the highest returns, while the safer tranches earn lower returns. One of the problems of the current credit crisis is that some tranches that looked to be quite safe are now considered dangerous.
Carmona and Sircar—whose research is funded by a National Science Foundation grant in conjunction with researchers at the University of Texas-Austin and the University of California-Santa Barbara—are creating mathematical models that capture the volatile nature of CDO markets while remaining computationally feasible. Although they plan to extend their study to other types of CDOs, thus far they have concentrated on financial instruments that are based on credit portfolio indexes and those backed by corporate bonds rather than home mortgages. The NSF grant also is funding an international conference for leading experts in credit derivatives that will be held in Princeton in May.
One of Sircar's recent papers, written with former graduate student Evan Papageorgiou *07, outlines a credit derivatives model that measures the intensity of default risk in CDOs backed by corporate bonds. Trying to measure the risk of default in a pool of hundreds of firms, he says, is a problem that extends well beyond quantifying the risk of default for each individual company.
"Defaults are not independent events and they tend to cluster because of the contagious nature of economic stresses," said Sircar. "If one firm fails, what does this mean for the others?" Sircar, whose graduate-level class in credit risk has doubled in size over previous enrollment, said students are very interested in understanding the current turbulence in financial markets. "Some days it feels as if I am teaching politics," he said.
The role of the Department of Operations Research and Financial Engineering, according to Carmona and Sircar, is to help tame the Wild West landscape of financial-sector innovation so that risks are properly quantified to investors. About half of Ph.D. students from their department become academics and train future practitioners. Some graduates become traders; others become regulatory sheriffs. However, the majority of Ph.D.s going to industry become "quants," practitioners of quantitative finance who analyze—in a highly technical way, because of their Princeton training—sophisticated instruments like CDOs.
Carmona and Sircar's cutting-edge research in financial mathematics has informed their teaching, even at the undergraduate level. For example, Adam Epstein '07 wrote a prize-winning senior thesis—finished several months before the credit-market crunch first hit in August—that addresses the urgent problem of modeling the credit derivatives market.
"It is important that our students learn not just about financial innovation but also how to look deeply into the downside of risk," said Carmona.

Arsène Wenger will not be drawn on his plans for the forthcoming transfer window - and he insists that buying is not always the answer.
The Arsenal manager has been asked about his January intentions ever since the last transfer deadline passed at the start of September, and he will no doubt be pressed on the issue in the 19 days before the window opens.
However, Wenger would prefer to focus on the players he has at his disposal instead of indulging in continuous talk of replacing them. After all, as the Frenchman points out, his young Arsenal side are still in the title race and have booked their place in the knockout stages of the Champions League.
"I won't answer that question [about the transfer window]," said Wenger.
"If I say yes and I don't do it people will ask why I haven't done it. If I say no and we lose one game people will say I am crazy because I didn't want to buy. In England every problem is sorted out by buying a player when you lose a football game.
"We have a team where most of the players are 20 or 21. Instead of saying that they have a fantastic future, OK maybe we haven't had the consistency until now, but we are not disastrous. We have 29 points and are in the position to come back.
"Instead of saying let's believe in these players, everybody says you have to buy five or six players.
"It is difficult to get any rationality into the analysis that we face at the moment. We are qualified in the Champions League but I am speaking as if we are absolutely nobody.
"If you look in the last 10 years Arsenal have qualified every time but I still have to answer the same question every year."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

"The cards felt of quality in your hands. They were not only beautiful with a black and white photo, they looked elegant and felt elegant."
"As usual with Tinyprints, the quality of this card is exceptional. I was extremely happy with it and the turn around time was unbelievable. I ordered on a Sunday and it was on my doorstep on Tuesday. I ordered the blue version with the traditional rectangle shape and the solid blue back with three captioned pics. It looks fantastic! Almost too good to be true for the price, but that's why I love this company and order from them regularly. Also, I can't say enough about the customer service at Tinyprints. From my experience, It is one of the best companies for putting the customer first and making sure you are satisfied. I have been a customers for years and anytime I have had a problem with a finished product, the issue is resolved and a replacement immediately sent. And...they don't send my call out of the country and keep me on the phone for hours haggling over it. They are courteous, professional and efficient."
"This card is stylish without being over the top! I love the matte card stock with the pearl finish. It gives it that shimmery look that you wouldn't get with the plain matte finish. You should be aware that because this is a square card it is about $.20 more per card to send via snail mail...not a deal breaker for me because I only send out about 30, but for someone who sends out a lot of cards this might deter you. Otherwise, this is a great card and I would recommend it."
"Loved that I was able to place any of my photos in with great ease. The colors on the card are vivid and turned out great. Definitely a hit with all of the family!"
"The product was easy to customize, shipping was fast (and expensive!), and the product itself was high quality. I love the bold colors and the printed backside. I wish there was a way to write a personalized message on the backside of the card, but there is not :("

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - A meticulously researched biography that challenges long-held assumptions about Jesus, from the host of CNN's Believer
Good Housekeeping - Booklist - Publishers Weekly - Bookish Two thousand years ago, an itinerant Jewish preacher and miracle worker walked across the Galilee, gathering followers to establish what he called the "Kingdom of God." The revolutionary movement he launched was so threatening to the established order that he was captured, tortured, and executed as a state criminal. Within decades after his shameful death, his followers would call him God. Sifting through centuries of mythmaking, Reza Aslan sheds new light on one of history's most influential and enigmatic characters by examining Jesus through the lens of the tumultuous era in which he lived: first-century Palestine, an age awash in apocalyptic fervor. Scores of Jewish prophets, preachers, and would-be messiahs wandered through the Holy Land, bearing messages from God. This was the age of zealotry--a fervent nationalism that made resistance to the Roman occupation a sacred duty incumbent on all Jews. And few figures better exemplified this principle than the charismatic Galilean who defied both the imperial authorities and their allies in the Jewish religious hierarchy. Balancing the Jesus of the Gospels against the historical sources, Aslan describes a man full of conviction and passion, yet rife with contradiction; a man of peace who exhorted his followers to arm themselves with swords; an exorcist and faith healer who urged his disciples to keep his identity a secret; and ultimately the seditious "King of the Jews" whose promise of liberation from Rome went unfulfilled in his brief lifetime. Aslan explores the reasons why the early Christian church preferred to promulgate an image of Jesus as a peaceful spiritual teacher rather than a politically conscious revolutionary. And he grapples with the riddle of how Jesus understood himself, the mystery that is at the heart of all subsequent claims about his divinity. Zealot yields a fresh perspective on one of the greatest stories ever told even as it affirms the radical and transformative nature of Jesus of Nazareth's life and mission. The result is a thought-provoking, elegantly written biography with the pulse of a fast-paced novel: a singularly brilliant portrait of a man, a time, and the birth of a religion. Praise for Zealot
"Riveting . . . Aslan synthesizes Scripture and scholarship to create an original account."--The New Yorker "A lucid, intelligent page-turner."--Los Angeles Times
"Fascinatingly and convincingly drawn . . . Aslan may come as close as one can to respecting those who revere Jesus as the peace-loving, turn-the-other-cheek, true son of God depicted in modern Christianity, even as he knocks down that image."--The Seattle Times " Aslan's] literary talent is as essential to the effect of Zealot as are his scholarly and journalistic chops. . . . A vivid, persuasive portrait."--Salon
"This tough-minded, deeply political book does full justice to the real Jesus, and honors him in the process."--San Francisco Chronicle
About the Author
Reza Aslan is an internationally acclaimed writer and scholar of religions. His first book, No god but God: The Origins, Evolution, and Future of Islam, has been translated into thirteen languages and named by Blackwell as one of the hundred most important books of the last decade. He is also the author of How to Win a Cosmic War: God, Globalization, and the End of the War on Terror (published in paperback as Beyond Fundamentalism), as well as the editor of Tablet & Pen: Literary Landscapes from the Modern Middle East. Born in Iran, he lives in New York and Los Angeles with his wife and two sons.
Praise For…
"Riveting . . . Aslan synthesizes Scripture and scholarship to create an original account."—The New Yorker
"A lucid, intelligent page-turner."—Los Angeles Times
"Aslan's insistence on human and historical actuality turns out to be far more interesting than dogmatic theology. . . . This tough-minded, deeply political book does full justice to the real Jesus, and honors him in the process."—San Francisco Chronicle
"Aslan brings a fine popular style, shorn of all jargon, to bear on the presentation of Jesus of Nazareth. . . . He isn't interested in attacking religion or even the church, much less in comparing Christianity unfavorably to another religion. He would have us admire Jesus as one of the many would-be messiahs who sprang up during Rome's occupation of Palestine, animated by zeal for 'strict adherence to the Torah and the Law,' refusal to serve a human master, and devotion to God, and therefore dedicated to throwing off Rome and repudiating Roman religion. . . . You don't have to lose your religion to learn much that's vitally germane to its history from Aslan's absorbing, reader-friendly book."—Booklist (starred review)
"Be advised, dear reader, Sunday school this isn't. Yet Aslan may come as close as one can to respecting those who revere Jesus as the peace-loving, turn-the-other-cheek, true son of God depicted in modern Christianity, even as he knocks down that image. . . . Aslan is steeped in the history, languages and scriptural foundation of the biblical scholar and is a very clear writer with an authoritative, but not pedantic, voice. Those of us who wade into this genre often know how rare that is. . . . Fascinatingly and convincingly drawn."—The Seattle Times
"[Aslan's] literary talent is as essential to the effect of Zealot: The Life and Times of Jesus of Nazareth as are his scholarly and journalistic chops. . . . A vivid, persuasive portrait of the world and societies in which Jesus lived and the role he most likely played in both. . . . Fascinating."—Salon
"Accessibly and strongly presented . . . Readable and with scholarly endnotes, Aslan's book offers a historical perspective that is sure to generate spirited conversation."—Library Journal
"A well-researched, readable biography of Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus of Nazareth is not the same as Jesus Christ. The Gospels are not historical documents. . . . Why has Christianity taken hold and flourished? This book will give you the answers."—Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
"[Aslan] parts an important curtain that has long hidden from view the man Jesus. . . . Aslan develops a convincing and coherent story of how the Christian church, and in particular Paul, reshaped Christianity's essence, obscuring the very real man who was Jesus of Nazareth. Compulsively readable and written at a popular level, this superb work is highly recommended."—Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"A bold, powerfully argued revisioning of the most consequential life ever lived."—Lawrence Wright, Pulitzer Prize–winning author of Going Clear: Scientology, Hollywood, and the Prison of Belief
"The story of Jesus of Nazareth is arguably the most influential narrative in human history. Here Reza Aslan writes vividly and insightfully about the life and meaning of the figure who has come to be seen by billions as the Christ of faith. This is a special and revealing work, one that believer and skeptic alike will find surprising, engaging, and original."—Jon Meacham, Pulitzer Prize–winning author of Thomas Jefferson: The Art of Power
"In Zealot, Reza Aslan doesn't just synthesize research and reimagine a lost world, though he does those things very well. He does for religious history what Bertolt Brecht did for playwriting. Aslan rips Jesus out of all the contexts we thought he belonged in and holds him forth as someone entirely new. This is Jesus as a passionate Jew, a violent revolutionary, a fanatical ideologue, an odd and scary and extraordinarily interesting man."—Judith Shulevitz, author of The Sabbath World

I had some old shoulder bells that were distorted and useless so I decided to use them to test out my rattlecan paints. I'm really glad I started on scrap because they ended up pretty much sucking but here's what I learned:
-My yellow didn't really have to be as subdued as I made it, the original color looks better without green/ black misting.
-Doing laser scorch marks with black spraypaint is really difficult cause the spray nozzle is huge
-Black mixes with wet yellow to make gross green
-I didn't need hunter green, it made my green bell really really dark
Any advice on how to make my real paint-ups better would be much apperciated! My real bells have actual dents so it will be much more convincing...

Post subject: Gameday Thread: BAL Ravens vs. CLE Browns (W4)
Cleveland Browns
Baltimore Ravens
Two of the bigger names in the 2011 NFL draft at WR. Both WRs were chosen in the 2nd round. The Ravens had their choice of both young, talented wideouts with potential and chose Torrey Smith. Smith only went on to have a prolific rookie season with nearly 900 yards receiving, while Little managed to play pretty well through mediocre QB play to the tune of around 700 yds and 2 td grabs. Their start to the 2012 season has been a big difference however. As Smith continues to elevate his abilities and has proven to be a team leader of the future... Little has went the other way: struggling with his hands and being accused of immature celebrations at unnecessary moments in a ball game. His coach has even gone so far as to say if he doesn't improve his catching he could be benched. Along with the death of Torrey's younger brother, both will be facing varying degrees of adversity in this game. These two WRs will undoubtedly continue to be linked because of their draft proximity (Smith- 58, Little-59) and their status as the go-to WRs on two AFCN squads. It'll be interesting (though not exactly relevant) to see who wins this head to head matchup.

ESPN Picks:
Purple Keys to the Game:
1. Special Teams Battle-
In the past, the Browns have usually kept games close with us because of our horrid special teams units. This year we've seemed to improve the unit, but it'll be important that we don't see a relapse into 2011 type ability or the Browns can get momentum via their special teams.
2. Be Aggressive, B.E. Aggressive-
This is simple. We're playing an offense with a rookie QB and RB, with young WRs. If Dean Peas isn't blitzing on almost every play until its proven detrimental... then we have our answer about the type of coordinator he is. We should be run blitzing to make sure Richardson doesn't get off and spur their offense, while trusting our corners against WRs that have yet to prove themselves in this league and against a QB who has yet to do so either. We should call a defensive game where we completely set out to bully the Browns and instill our physicality onto this game.
3. Offensive balance-
Torrey Smith did it once, but I'm not sure how well he'll be able to keep it up on such a short week with even more emotion going into this game. So I don't think it best to rely on the passing game to start off. That said, without Haden, Flacco should take a lot more deep shots to Smith/Jones. But it'll be important to keep a good offensive balance to set up the playaction passes deep to give the receivers more space to work with as the safeties move up.
Jedi Knights of the day:
1. Dennis Pitta-
The only thing Flacco trusts in more than his arm, is Dennis Pitta making a play... it's gotten him into some obvious trouble this year already, so if Pitta isn't making those plays, defenders will indeed be making them for him, Pitta has been marked as Flacco's go-to guy.
2. Courtney Upshaw-
Upshaw doesn't necessarily NEED to have a big game, but we've seen in the past two games that Upshaw has been a big player in run pursuits and also helping to shore up our run defense by keeping pretty good outside contain. We'll need him to continue to do those things this game and not show any kind of rookie regression. If Upshaw can add to this and make plays against the pass, it'll be icing on the cake.
3. Haloti Ngata-
Ngata makes another appearance. Ngata is our only elite player along the DL and therefore it puts a lot of pressure on him to continue to dominate OLs to give our defense control of the LOS. We need him to continue to do that in this game as it's become clear that the Ravens coaches won't give Terrance Cody more playing time (he absolutely stuffed runs against the Pats- he should be starting).
Sith Lord's to Avoid:
1. D'Qwell Jackson-
Jackson has started off the year balling and is on many DPOY watches. Luckily we Vonta Leach to help nullify his impact in this game. When Leach is out and we're single back, our interior line will have to make sure they get to the second level and make him a priority block, else he'll be making plays.
2. Brandon Weeden-
Weeden has been inconsistent to start the season to say the least. We've seen a game where he threw multiple interceptions followed by a game where he went off on the Bengals defense for over 300 yds passing.. to only level out last week against the Bills. Obviously he's a rookie so he's still getting a hand of everything NFL. The Ravens will have to keep Weeden from being a factor. I don't think the Browns defense has enough talent to truly stop our (apparently explosive) offense from getting at least 20-23 points in this ball game. So with that being said, I don't think the Browns rushing game alone could propel them to victory. But if they are able to establish a passing game and abuse Cary Williams- like everyone else does- then we could be in for a tight game where a last minute drive could be deciding this game. If we limit the Brown's passing success, we should win.
3. Jabaal Sheard-
Sheard hasn't necessarily started this season off like expected, but Sheard had a big game against us last year to really propel him forward for the rest of the year and we can't have this game being the game that awakens him this season. Release the Kraken? I think not. Sheard is an explosive player that's getting better, it'll be important for KO to keep his head on a swivel and perform well.

As I mentioned in the other thread, I expect this to be a get right game for our defense, especially against mr. Weeden. So for the purposes of the poll I picked Cam.

If anybody, I think it'll be Cam. This is a textbook "Let me go back to the way I want to do things because we should win this game easily" type game for him. I think our defense will be very good this game, but I can see our offense struggling a bit. But, I think eventually they turn it on and we us pull away thanks to some key turnovers.
My weekly terrible predictions:
Ravens 30
Browns 10
( 10-7 at halfitme )
Flacco: 23/34, 319 yards, 2 TD, 0 INT
Rice: 14 carries, 64 yards, TD; 4 rec, 36 yards
Boldin: 3 rec, 47 yards, TD
Smith: 5 rec, 94 yards, TD
Jones: 3 rec, 64 yards
Pitta: 5 rec, 43 yards
Reed: 2 INT
Upshaw: 1.5 sacks
Ngata: 1 sack
McPhee: .5 sacks
Kruger: 1 sack

This is definitely a typical trap game for our offense, and I'm not so confident that Cam will have a good gameplan or be able to maintain good playcalls on a short week against an incredibly inferior team.
I still think we win this one, but it might be closer than some expect.

Ravens: 13

You know I remember earlier on in Harbaugh's coaching tenure here, we would always seem to beat the teams that we SHOULD beat. Last year was really the only aberration to that rule.
So I'll try and summon as much of my inner
as possible and say we go out in this game and try to make a statement about how good of a team we are. Brian Billick mentioned it best how sometimes adversity can really bring a team together, well Torrey Smith's unfortunate loss could be the catalyst to getting this team to that next level of "team preparation". It could keep us from suffering from those lethargic losses we saw the team face last year.
The Ravens defense against the run has been steadily improving as Upshaw has begun to realize his potential. I like us to limit the Browns to something like 2.7 ypc and prevent their ground game from being a weapon. And then shutting down Wheedon on 3rd downs. Eventually once we take a lead, I expect the Browns to have to try and play catch up and the Ravens defense to capitalize by creating turnovers.
One of these weeks, me predicting Jimmy Smith to have a breakout game is ACTUALLY going to happen. Eventually he'll have that 2 INTs performance that I predict. With limited options for the Browns and with them not being likely to test Webb (unless they're stupid), that could give Smith some opportunities to pick off Wheedon and build his confidence and finally get the "start" on defense. I expect this game to go a lot like the Cincy game went in the 2nd half... only this game, it goes like that for the entire game. I expect to have a Tyrod Taylor sighting.
I'll say we win: 37-9.
Flacco: 336 yds passing, 3 TDs
Rice: 78 yds rushing (14 car), 31 yds rec.- 1 TD
Leach: 8 yds rushing (3 car), 1 TD
Pitta: 114 yds receiving (9 rec.), 1 TD
Jones: 74 yds receiving (4 rec.), 1 TD
Boldin: 68 yds receiving (5 rec.)
Smith: 49 yds receiving (2 rec.)
Jimmy Smith: 2 INTs
Bernard Pollard: 1 INT
Haloti Ngata: 1 sack, 1 FF
Courtney Upshaw: 1 sk, FR
Lardarius Webb: 2 sks

This is definitely a typical trap game for our offense, and I'm not so confident that Cam will have a good gameplan or be able to maintain good playcalls on a short week against an incredibly inferior team.
I still think we win this one, but it might be closer than some expect.
Browns: 6
Ravens: 13
I would agree with it being much closer than people expect, but I just don't see our offense only scoring 13 pts win, lose, or draw. Especially not with Clevelands best corner being suspended for this game.

Thinking this will be one of those tight frustrating games up until Ed Reed picks off weedon and pitches to "insert player here" for another 108 yd INT return.
Browns D will slow the O down a bit.

We have a habit of dropping games to inferior teams after big emotional wins (see Titans and Seahawks last year). I think as a group, we (Raven's fans) are being waaaay too overconfident -- lets hope that the Ravens themselves aren't making that same mistake.

There is absolutely, positively NO way Harbaugh lets this team be overconfident for
game this year. We, as fans, are here for that.
Ravens: 4,327
Browns: 2 (on a botched snap)

Last season that seemed to be the case but keep in mind that was also the first season where we saw the Ravens lose games like that while Harbaugh has been the coach. The Browns are the worst team in the league. I'm not buying this as a "trap" game for the Ravens at all - divisional rivals or not.
What I'm most interested in for this game is how they scheme against Richardson. He hasn't had a great start to the year but he still has a ton of talent and should be the focal point of their offense. I'd also like to see if the Ravens start using their no-huddle offense again, it's been almost non-existent the past couple of weeks.
I kind of rode the fence with predictions for the first three weeks but not this game. Both the offense and defense should be in line for great showings although I won't get too excited if/when that happens since Cleveland isn't a good measuring stick. Remember the Lions game from a couple of seasons ago? Yeah that's what I see coming Thursday night.

ARSC T3D Users' Newsletter 16, December 22, 1994
Reduced Problem Size and Software Upgrades
MPPs are often used as vehicles for accessing large cheap memory for large problems. Therefore researchers on MPPs often publish statistics on the largest problem that will fit into a given MPP configuration. (The "linpeak" part of the Linpack benchmark is an illustration of this.)
Each software upgrade adds new functionality and this functionality usually comes at the expense of memory at least in the code area but often times in the data area with increased buffer sizes, more system and library variables. What the system software and libraries now use comes out of what was previously available to the user. The recent upgrade of T3D software at ARSC brought out some of these issues.
One bug reported by ARSC, that was fixed in the latest upgrade, had to do with these programs that expand to the largest problem that fit in memory. Previously the program ran and hung the system. Now the mppexec correctly reports that the problem is too large to run.
However, some of my own test problems and those of another user are no longer runnable because the executables are now too big. So the amount of memory available is not fixed between upgrades, users wishing to have some continuity between upgrades shouldn't expect the largest possible problem to be always runnable after a software upgrade.
This is a good time to say that ARSC will be upgrading the memory on each PE from 2MW to 8MW sometime in February. We'll have more about this in the New Year.
PVM Timings Between T3D ProcessorsIn the last newsletter we looked at some of the PVM timings between the Y-MP and a processor of the T3D using an example program that comes with the public domain distribution of PVM. This example used the the Y-MP as a master and the T3D as a slave and measured on the Y-MP the time to send messages of varying size back and forth from the T3D. In this section we look at the same timings between T3D processors.
For the T3D timings, we combine the master and slave programs into one program for the T3D partition. The master runs on PE0 and the slave code runs on the other processors. The master on PE0 successively sends and times the same set of messages to PE1 through PE7 as was sent between the Y-MP and PE0 in last week's newsletter. The table below summarizes the results:
Y-MP PE0 PE0 PE0 PE0 PE0 PE0 PE0 to PE0 to PE1 to PE2 to PE3 to PE4 to PE5 to PE6 to PE7 round trip time (microseconds) 14069 2146 2238 2233 2387 2243 2324 2265 speed(MB/s) for message size 100 bytes .014 .047 .046 .046 .045 .042 .044 .045 1000 bytes .123 .457 .448 .433 .431 .442 .425 .438 10000 bytes .706 4.383 4.243 4.148 4.161 4.207 3.979 4.224 100000 bytes 1.205 32.744 32.494 31.636 30.918 30.960 30.836 31.245 00000 bytes 1.280Because of the variability in timings, the timings reported here are average time for 20 messages of each size. The 1 Mbyte message is missing for the T3D to T3D timings because the PVM buffers were too small. The programs are available on denali:
Y-MP to T3D programs in /usr/local/examples/mpp/timers/ympt3d T3D to T3D programs in /usr/local/examples/mpp/timers/t3dt3dIf it's possible to put the master of a master/slave program pair onto single T3D processor there are at least two major benefits:
- Reduced system overhead (Newsletter #7)
Better communication timings because of
- No conversion of data types (PvmDataRaw)
- Faster hardware connection
Future NewslettersThe next newsletter will be January 5th.
Upgrade on ARSC T3D SoftwareARSC upgraded the T3D software to CrayLib_M 18.104.22.168, MAX 22.214.171.124 and SCC_M 22.214.171.124 on December 11th. There have been no problems detected by ARSC testing or reported by users. Users with problems to report should contact Mike Ess
PE LimitsOn December 19th, PE limits were changed for some users to the default allocations:
8 PEs for a maximum of 1 hour in interactive mode 32 PEs for a maximum of 24 hours in batch modeUsers should contact Mike Ess if they have any questions about this or want their allocation changed.
Phase II I/O on the T3DARSC is evaluating the effort of moving from the current Phase I I/O to Phase II I/O on the T3D. In future newsletters I can summarize the differences, but for now I would like to ask if any ARSC users are interested in this upgrade or would want to be part of the evaluation?
List of Differences Between T3D and Y-MPThe current list of differences between the T3D and the Y-MP is:
- Data type sizes are not the same (Newsletter #5)
- Uninitialized variables are different (Newsletter #6)
- The effect of the -a static compiler switch (Newsletter #7)
- There is no GETENV on the T3D (Newsletter #8)
- Missing routine SMACH on T3D (Newsletter #9)
- Different Arithmetics (Newsletter #9)
- Different clock granularities for gettimeofday (Newsletter #11)

Posted by Richard Fichera on the Infrastructure & Operations Professionals Blog on October 16, 2011
In a surprising move, HP and Cisco announced that HP will be reselling a custom-developed Cisco Nexus switch, the "Cisco Nexus B22 Fabric Extender for HP," commonly called a FEX in Cisco speak. What is surprising about this is that the FEX is a key component of Cisco's Nexus switch technology as well as an integral component of Cisco's UCS server product, the introduction of which has pitted the two companies in direct and bitter competition in the heart of HP's previously sacrosanct server segment. Combined with HP's increasing focus on networking, the companies have not been the best of buds for the past couple of years. Accordingly, this announcement really makes us sit up and take notice.
So what drove this seeming rapprochement? The coined word "coopetition" lacks the flavor of the German "Realpolitik," but the essence is the same – both sides profit from accommodating a real demand from customers for Cisco network technology in HP BladeSystem servers. And like the best of deals, both sides walk away thinking that they got the best of the other. HP answers the demands of what is probably a sizable fraction of their customer base for better interoperability with Cisco Nexus-based networks, and in doing so expects to head off customer defections to Cisco UCS servers. Cisco gets both money (the B22 starts at around $10,000 per module and most HP BladeSystem customers who use it will probably buy at least two per enclosure, so making a rough guess at OEM pricing, Cisco is going to make as much as $8,000 to $10,000 per chassis from HP BladeSystems that use the B22) from the sale of the Cisco-branded modules as well as exposure of Cisco technology to HP customers, with the hope that they will consider UCS for future requirements.

text: Nation's educators commit to bully-free schools WASHINGTON - The statistics are startling. One in three American schoolchildren in grades six through 10 are affected by bullying. Eighty-three percent of girls and 79 percent of boys report experiencing harassment. Students who are targets of repeated bullying behavior experience extreme fear and stress, which can be expressed as: fear of going to school, fear of using a public bathroom, fear of the bus ride to and from school, physical symptoms of illness and diminished ability to learn. "Schools should be safe havens for students – places where students can grow, learn, and realize their full potential, said National Education Association (NEA) President Dennis Van Roekel. "Unfortunately, Lee Hirsch's, film 'Bully' has shown us that much more needs to be done to create safe and protected learning environments for all children. There's no room for inappropriate behavior in our schools and it's time we showed bullying the door." NEA and the American Federation of Teachers (AFT) hosted a pre-release screening to more than 400 educators and education leaders in Washington, D.C. this week to promote "Bully," which released nationwide on Friday, April 13. The National Education Association (NEA) is providing guidance to caring adults in schools and communities nationwide who are willing to stand up and pledge to help bullied students. To help these concerned adults, the NEA has launched the "NEA's Bully Free: It Starts With Me" campaign, which connects bullied students with a caring adult—one on one. These caring adults agree to listen carefully to the bullied student who comes to them and take action to stop the bullying and NEA provides the adults bullying prevention resources through www.nea.org/bullyfree. "Bully Free" also provides much-needed bullying prevention training for educators. NEA's research shows that public school teachers and education support professionals are ready to act, but many of them lack training in the most effective, research-proven measures to take to prevent bullying. "It is the responsibility of school districts, with support from their states, to provide anti-bullying training," said Van Roekel. "And it is crucial that the bullying prevention training include not only administrators and classroom teachers, but also school bus drivers, paraeducators, office employees, custodians, and food service workers." NEA, the nation's largest education association, has also launched a nationwide public service announcement (PSA) campaign to raise awareness of bullying in communities across the country. "We are grateful that Mr. Hirsch and the Weinstein Company chose to partner with the NEA to tackle the issue of bullying because it remains an issue that does not receive the attention it deserves in many schools and communities," said Van Roekel. "We are calling on our members, community partners and caring adults to help us tackle this critical issue. One caring adult can make all the difference." Information on the "Bully Free: It Starts With Me" campaign and additional resources on how to combat bullying can be found at www.nea.org/bullyfree. --NEA media release

Monday 20th December 2010
With our fanbase being far and wide everybody has a tale to tell about Saturday's postponement. Even Kylie, an Aussie Gooner based in Canberra texted me his disgust at having to leave a nightclub just so he could see Saturday's game (although he seemed to be quite happy to be heading back there once it was called off!)
My day involved a three-hour journey to London where I took in a fast food burger when the rumours were circulating that a blizzard had hit N5, before embarking on the same journey back. I don't even like burgers! I did get home relatively easily, safe and sound however, so with the weather in much of the country once again bringing life to a standstill, my own experience wasn't too bad overall.
Wasted journeys due to postponements have happened from time to time down the years of course but for some reason I found Saturday's particularly irritating.
The cost of the whole journey always feels like you are simply throwing money down the drain for starters and the fact the sun came out just as my return train departed Waterloo station, literally moments after news had filtered through that the game was off, didn't help my state of mind either!
For me, however, it is far more to do with the way the world is these days. Of course, I don't blame Arsenal or the referee, you only have to look at the pictures to see the stadium and the surrounding streets were covered in snow when a decision was made.
But even if the conditions had been less severe the game might not have gone ahead because with injury law as it is these days it simply isn't worth the risk.
Years ago pitches might have been cleared by a few 'volunteers' if required, us fans would have donned more suitable footwear and we all would have taken a little more time and care getting to and from the stadium! Back then, if you fell over, it was due to the snow... and you can't take that to court!
Now you only have to watch the TV, listen to the radio or even glance up at one of the many hoardings around our towns and cities to see or hear the injury law 'specialists' ramming their slogans down our throats.
It seems to be a British thing too, you only have to look at our away game in Bayern Munich a few years back or Spartak Moscow for that matter. Both were played in stadia surrounded by more than two feet of snow!
Certainly as an aspect of law it needed to improve as a concept and consequently there is an argument that it is a good thing to some degree but we simply cannot have an 'accident' these days and it be just that! It has to be somebody's fault. For me that is just ridiculous.
The snow has given us a longer 'break' than is usual of course but I still feel it is very much the calm before the storm that is the Christmas period, both on and off the pitch!
Chelsea is comfortably a big enough fixture to whet the appetite and will give us the kind of PMT to help sweat out the previous few days' excesses.
All that remains for me to say is a massive Happy Christmas to all Gooners around the globe!

|Rabid or suspected rabid
|Immediate postexposure prophylaxis
|Consult public health officials
|Skunks, raccoons, bats3, foxes, and most other carnivores; woodchucks and wild animals kept as pets
|Regard as rabid unless geographic area is known to be free of rabies or until animal proven negative by laboratory testing4
|Immediate post-exposure prophylaxis or if animal available for testing, as soon as positive result is observed
|Livestock, rodents, and lagomorphs (rabbits and hares)
|Consider individually
|Consult public health officials. Bites of squirrels, hamsters, guinea pigs, gerbils, chipmunks, rats, mice, other rodents, rabbits, and hares almost never require antirabies treatment.
|1Stray dogs and cats may be euthanized immediately and their heads submitted to the rabies laboratory.
|2Post-exposure prophylaxis should be started if a veterinarian identifies an animal as being symptomatic. Symptomatic animals should be euthanized and tested immediately.
|3 What appears to be insignificant contact with bats may result in rabies transmission, even without clear evidence of a bite. Post-exposure prophylaxis is recommended for all persons with bite,scratch, or mucous membrane exposure to a bat unless the bat is available for testing and is negative for rabies. Post-exposure prophylaxis is appropriate even in the absence of bite, scratch, or mucous membrane exposure in situations in which there is a reasonable probability that such contact occurred (for example, a sleeping individual awakes to find a bat in the room, an adult witnesses a bat in the room with a previously unattended child, mentally challenged person, or intoxicated person) and rabies cannot be ruled out by testing the bat.
|4The animal should be killed and tested as soon as possible. Holding for observation is not recommended as time lapse from virus secretion in saliva until clinical symptoms appear have not been determined for species other than a dog, cat, and ferret. Consult with the department veterinary epidemiologist for information on presence or absence of rabies in particular species.
|Guidelines for Post-Exposure Prophylaxis
|Vaccination Status
|Not previously vaccinated
|Local wound cleaning
|All post-exposure treatment should begin with immediate thorough cleansing of all wounds with soap and water.
|Human rabies immune globulin (HRIG)
|20 IU/kg body weight. If anatomically feasible, the full dose should be infiltrated around the wound or wounds. Any remaining volume should be administered intramuscularly at a site distant from vaccine inoculation.
|Human diploid cell vaccine (HDCV), purified chick embryo cell vaccine (PCEC), or rabies vaccine adsorbed (RVA), 1.0 ml, IM (deltoid1), 1 each on days 0, 3, 7, 14, and 28.
|Previously vaccinated2
|Local wound cleaning
|All postexposure treatment should begin with immediate thorough cleansing of all wounds with soap and water.
|Should not be administered.
|HDCV, PCEC, or RVA, 1.0 ml IM (deltoid1), 1 each on days 0 and 3.
|*These regimens are applicable for all age groups, including children.
|1The deltoid area is the only acceptable site of vaccination for adults and older children. For younger children, the outer aspect of the thigh may be used. The vaccine should never be administered in the gluteal area.
|2Any person with a history of preexposure vaccination with HDCV or RVA; prior postexposure prophylaxis with HDCV or RVA; or previous vaccination with any other type of rabies vaccine and a documented history of antibody response to the prior vaccination.
