Robert M. Ackerman
DETROIT (Sept. 16, 2011) – Peter Sugar, a 1970 Wayne State University Law School alumnus, long-time Wayne Law adjunct faculty member and a member of Southfield-based Jaffe Raitt Heuer and Weiss PC, has been recognized with the Donald H. Gordon Award for Excellence in Teaching.
Sugar was presented the award by Dean Robert M. Ackerman at the Wayne Law Reception at the State Bar of Michigan's annual meeting in Dearborn on Sept. 15. Established in 1981 and presented annually to a Wayne Law professor that exemplifies excellence in the classroom, the award is named for Donald H. Gordon who served as dean of the Law School from 1975-1980 and recently passed away.
Sugar is the first adjunct professor to be honored with the award and has taught classes at Wayne Law for more than 40 years. He currently co-teaches Business Planning with Professor Alan Schenk, a renowned tax law expert.
"This recognition is a great honor and, at the same time, extremely humbling," Sugar said. "I am fortunate to have the opportunity to teach and work with the outstanding faculty at Wayne Law. In particular, I have had the unique opportunity to collaborate during the past eight years with Alan Schenk, a distinguished tax scholar and, coincidentally, my tax professor. More importantly, I am inspired by the creative energy and contribution of our students. This engaged student participation makes our class an exciting, alive business law laboratory that reproduces legal analysis of common and exotic business transactions settings."
Sugar repeatedly has been recognized by Top Lawyers, Best Lawyers in America and Best Lawyers in Michigan and with similar awards by national, state and local agencies for many years.
Much of the above release compliments of Jaffe Raitt Heuer and Weiss PC and Identity PR.

text: Man, I jumped out of work to grab a quick lunch and catch an inning of the Tigers game and all I saw was the Grilli debacle. Getting a little worried here. I guess we have enough tradable assets that we can get more pitchers if need be. Just a quick pet peeve here. Having Clete Thomas bunt in the 5th inning is pretty weak IMO. Did Leyland really think that we needed just 1 run to win this game? It was obvious that we were going to have to outscore them when our relief pitchers came in. Also, Clete had 5 hits in a row, or something like that.

Forrester just published its "India Tech Market Outlook: 2014" report; here's a summary. We expect the Indian economy to start recovering from the tough situation it faced in 2013. It will start picking up (albeit at a slower rate) in 2014 thanks to good monsoons, an uptick in exports due to the weakening of the rupee, and huge infrastructure projects in public transportation, housing, agriculture, and farming that we expect to take off once a new central government is in place. As a result, we've marginally increased our 2014 forecast from 7.4% to 8% in local currency. But the biggest threat to India's economic outlook is political instability after the national elections, which could have a long-term economic impact.
The three most important highlights from the report:


text: Regrettably I can't tell you how to fix the slide lock issue although what your saying makes sense. To take the mags apart for cleaning, if they are like all the others I have seen, disassemble by pushing the round button or pin at the bottom of your base plate in with a phillips screw driver, etc. and slide the base plate pad off with your thumb. Be careful though because that button is the protruding part of the inner base plate connected directly to the spring assembly so it will be under tension. With thumb on that secondary plate release the tension and slide the whole inner assembly out comprising of that plate, spring and the follower. Bummer to hear about your mags and hope you can get it sorted out. Strange to happen with all 3 mags. Got some knowledgable folks here though that I'm sure can help you with that part of the equation.

does anyone know anything good or bad about the Cougar made by stoeger
I just found this if anyone wants to check it out
Haven't gotten much feedback on them, but pretty much it is just a Beretta Cougar.
It's just done by a subsidiary of Beretta and made in their Turkish factory. It's a good deal on a good pistol.
I Love mine!
really good accuracy, very reasonable muzzel flip, good solid feel in the hand.
500 rounds with not a hiccup.
Dependable quality for a $300 price range!
I'll never sell it.
You can't go wrong...buy it.
I met a guy at the local range last year. He had just picked one up at Sportsman's Warehouse, I think for about $300! It was a .40 caliber model. He never had any trouble with it. I shot it, and it was accurate, light recoil, and went bang every time I pulled the trigger. Seems like a really nice gun for the money. It's available in 9mm, too. As already mentioned, it's a Beretta made in Turkey.
it seems like it is a better gun the a ruger P95 or P98 don't you guys think
sorry p89
To tell the truth the cougar was the gun I was looking at getting for my first. Though what can I say that M9 and 1911 of mine just screamed at me. Past that the only thing I can truly say is it's on my list of things to get.
for anyone that has shot one do you like the .40 or the 9mm better?
Mine is a .40S&W
I think there is very little difference in recoil and dependability between .9mm and .40. The recoil and muzzle flip difference I'd think would be negligible.
A very solid pistol!
(And yes, I got mine new too for just under $300. Can't beat it for Beretta relibility and quality...under their subsidiary company name). Very accurate too.

You exercise your body to stay physically in shape, so why shouldn't you exercise your brain to stay mentally fit? With these daily exercises you will learn how to flex your mind, improve your creativity and boost your memory. As with any exercise, repetition is necessary for you to see improvement, so pick your favorite exercises from our daily suggestions and repeat them as desired. Try to do some mentalrobics every single day!
adjective :: Recklessly wasteful; wildly extravagant.
"The rest of Prince John's retinue consisted of the favourite leaders of his mercenary troops, some marauding barons and profligate attendants upon the court, with several Knights Templars and Knights of St John." --Scott, Walter
This exercise will test your ability to use your underused sense of touch to visualize and draw an unknown object.
You will need to find several objects whose shape cannot be immediately identified. For example, a pair of scissors would be a bad choice. Try to find some uncommon objects like small toys or machine parts. Place these objects into an opaque bag or box and instruct people to feel inside the bag for an object. They should explore the object with their fingers and then try to draw it from memory. Have someone else find some objects for you to use.
After you have finished your drawing, remove the actual object and compare. How close did you get? With practice, you will get better at visualizing and drawing objects from memory.
Amnesia is a condition characterized by the inability to form new memories or the inability to recall existing memories. Amnesia is caused when the hippocampus or thalamus becomes damaged. This can be the result of a blow to the head, a stroke, surgery, alcoholism or certain types of infections.
One of the most common misconceptions about amnesia is that people forget everything that they ever knew. In reality, it's episodic memory which is most impaired. Intelligence, attention and creativity are generally unaffected.
Anterograde amnesia refers to a condition where the sufferer cannot make new memories. They can still recall memories from before the condition started, but not from any experiences that occur after the onset of amnesia. This is because the brain becomes unable to convert short-term memories into long-term memories.
Retrograde amnesia is when the person is capable of forming new memories, but is unable to remember anything that happened before the onset of amnesia. Amnesia patients may experience both types of amnesia to different degrees.
Another misconception, fueled by cartoons and Hollywood movies, is that a second impact to the head can completely reverse the condition. In reality, a second impact would cause increased memory impairment. There are no specific treatments for amnesia, but conditions generally improve over time as the injury that caused it heals.
When people are under stress they often clench their teeth. This can lead to tight jaw muscles. This tightness can then spread to other muscles in the head and neck and may even contribute to back pain and tension headaches. The following stretching and massage exercise will help eliminate the problem at the source.
First, open your mouth as wide as it will go to get a good stretch of the jaw muscles. Do this a few times. Now, try to open your mouth again, but use your hand to give some resistance. You should feel your jaw muscles trying hard to open your mouth against the force from your hand. Maintain this pressure for at least thirty seconds and repeat a few times. This may help teach your jaw to stop clenching. Now, take your two fingers and find the small indentation at the back of the jaw muscle near the ears. Push on either side until you feel a slight pain and massage the muscle a little bit. This will help relax the tension that is already there.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Bullet, I feel it's necessary to modify that which I said in an earlier post. On your triangulated links, the front pivot points are very close together. For this reason, I said you had nothing to worry about as far as binding is concerned. Than, cboy posted pictures of his setup. As you can see, his triangulated links are separated, at the back end, by the center section. The further apart the mounting points at the "peak" of the triangulation, the more bind will occur. Cboy has taken care of the problem by using rubber bushings. This is how Detroit takes care of it, too. These kits, however, usually use Heim joints, which are, of course, quite rigid. There's always going to be a little "give," of course, so some binding can be tolerated, even with Heims. Though the Heims are "pretty" pieces of hardware, don't feel that you have to use them. The Ramchargers used rubber bushings on the trailing links of their C/A.
As to why binding occurs: It only takes 3 trailing links and a Panhard to locate an axle. Any more trailing links can cause binding. Your upper links are mounted so close together, at the front, that they're essentially one large triangular link. In fact, if a single Heim could take the loads, it would be ideal to combine the links at the front and use one Heim. (I'm not saying you should do this, for that's a big "if.")
Anyway, this is another good reason for Morrison to show the links parallel in the side view. He doesn't want you breaking Heim joints with excessive deviations from parallel which cause higher binding loads (though still much less than with a conventional 4link).
|Thanks all. Something to consider and keep an eye on when the car becomes road worthy. Hopefully I won't have any problems. I've gone backward a couple times with my project and I don't want to go there again. I hope I left enough adjustment if a problem does arise. Again, thanks for all the imput.
Very good info in the prior post. Here's pics of the triangulated setup under my 32 just to give you another perspective. This was totally built for the street not for racing.
Just tried to check the Morrison site and wasn't able to complete the connection. Don't know if they're having server problems or what.
Anyway, I'm aware that some of these suppliers seem reluctant to discuss this sort of thing. I suspect it's just a matter of maintaining a "neutral" position on some of these issues which, among some racers, are highly controversial. And, I certainly can't blame them for wanting to keep their bottom line healthy.
Why controversial? Well, there are some who actually want a lot of squat. So, if a supplier comes out and says, "Here's how you can avoid all that nasty squat," they might consider the guy incompetent and take their business elsewhere. On the other hand, there are those who want a lot of rise (though there aren't as many).
Why do some want squat? They see the rear end of the car coming down and they think what they're seeing is weight transfer. So, the more they see it coming down, the more weight transfer. But, that's simply not how it works. Weight transfer is a function of acceleration, car weight, wheelbase length, and center of gravity height. Nothing more! Actually, what's happening as the rear starts to come down is that a certain portion of the weight transfer is LOST as the force is applied to pull the car down. But, that which was lost is regained as the car "bottoms out" and starts to return to its upper position. In other words, rear wheel loading oscillates as the car bobs up and down. You get the same oscillation with a "rise" setup, but it starts with an increase in rear wheel loading.
So, as far as I'm concerned, it's best to avoid all that bouncing and keep the rear wheel loading as steady as possible by putting the IC on that line I described. From the pictures, I would say that you might have enough adjustment in the lower links to accomplish this.
I've looked at Art Morrison's (artmorrison.com) setup, and I don't see any difference in his setup to mine other then his housing brackets are on the front of the housing and mine are on the top. His bars appear to be parallel to themsevles and the ground. There's no mention in the kit about squat and I followed the instructions and diagrams to the letter. Geez.........I hope I haven't %$@#$% up'd.
I thought you had fabbed your links, Bullet. Didn't realize they were a kit. Anyway, if, in side view, your upper and lower links are parallel, both to each other and to the ground, the car will squat miserably on acceleration. This is because that which is called the "instant center" is at infinity.
To determine the location of the instant center (IC), visualize lines through the upper and lower links in the side view. Their intersection point is at the IC. Now, visualize a line passing through the rear tire patch and the intersection of two more lines, one a vertical line through the front tire patch and the other a horizontal line through the center of gravity. If the IC is on this line (the one passing through the rear tire patch), The car will neither squat nor rise. If below, it will squat; above, it will rise.
In accomplishing this, you don't need to worry about suspension link bind. That's why your upper links are triangulated in the kit. When this is done, it's the same as if those two upper links were replaced with a single link at the center (and, of course, a Panhard to locate the axle laterally). And, there's definitely no binding with a 3link, which is why the roundy-round boys like them.
If you're going to use bags in the rear, I would definitely recommend a no squat/no rise setup, as the low rate of the bags will accentuate the squat.
Yo BillyShope,
I was just going back over what you posted. Unless the bars are long ( which in this kit from Air Ride Technologies, they are not ), one can only at best keep the bars level and parallel with the lower bars, any deviation from that would cause the suspension to bind in it's multi functional travel. I think if you look at the pics of the frame again, you'll see that indeed the bars are either level or slightly angled down. I thought it through very carefully and followed the instructions to the letter. The differential travels it's full geometry of motion without any problem and that's a good thing, as the car will be equipped with Air Ride and at times be in the weeds.
Thanks for all the information guys this helps alot..
Kudo's Bullet... Nice work.
The "hopping" you are seeing is a result of running a locker or spool in the rear diff. It's caused by the inner and outer tires trying to turn at different RPMS around the locked axle. The inside tire tends to skip trying to catch up with the faster turning outside tire.
Yes, I did too make a mistake, thanks for the reposting of my URL. Also thank you for your encouraging comments.
The tri-angulated 4 link on my project is parallal and straight. There's plenty of adjustment there when the time comes to get the pinion angle right. The rearend at this point is held in that position by welded bars which I'm going to cut off and remedy soon with a couple strut bars where the air bags mount. I'll also make a couple strut arms for the front so the car can be pushed around the shop. I've put away the air bags until the car is in it's final assembly. I don't want to burn or punch a hole in them. The frame is not totally finished yet as I still have a driveshaft loop to weld in the rear crossmember as well as cross bracing that member for strength. The front bags still have the upper mounts to be welded on. It's my first attempt at building a frame and I think I've done ok. I did get help from a buddy who builds race cars. I took plenty of time to think it through and to take lots of measurements from my old frame.
Still have a long road ahead before it's finished.
That's a great site, Bullet! If you don't mind, I'm going to retype it so others can see it. Afraid you had a typo in your post:
Now, I just hope I didn't add another error.
I had a '54 hardtop. Although, except for the body and about 3 feet of frame rails, there wasn't much left that was Studebaker. That hardtop was a beautiful car, though.
Anyway, yes, the triangulated setup will not bind while cornering. And, you don't need a Panhard, which is why it was used in production cars (saved some production costs). My only concern was that it appears that the upper arms are angling up from the rear. Hard to tell from the pictures, though. And, the axle might not have been at ride height. If they are, though, this would mean you're going to be getting a lot of squat on acceleration. If you'll look at the cars from Detroit with this setup, you'll see that the upper arms are angling down.
I don't think I'd blame the parallel 4link for the "hop" you've seen on cornering. There's a lot of things that could cause it. If the links are truly parallel, there will be no binding and the car will corner like your triangulated setup. Don't misunderstand me! I'm not saying you should have used a 4link. Definitely not. You've got a beautiful setup for a street car. For that matter, it should do quite well at the strip, so long as the squat is not excessive. It does not, however, offer the adjustability which some would desire.
Good work!
|If you want to avoid any binding at all in a street application, a Tri-Angulated 4 Link is the only way to go. Pro Street cars with parallel 4 link or ladder bar suspensions tend to hop around a corner because there is no give in the roll of the car when cornering. I found this out with my Studebaker Resto-Rod and scraped the Ladder Bars in favor of a Tri-Angulated 4 Link with Air Ride. Project pics at http://www.angelfire.cim/super/1950bulletnose
That's some very good info Billy. I had never considered running the bars at different angles side to side... Your analysis makes perfect sense and it should work just fine...
I wish I had talked to you before I started my Astro van project. I have decided to go with leaf springs and home made Caltracs for my rear suspension just because I couldn't come up with a 4 link design that would work both in a straight line AND a cornering situation...
Here is some more info from Alston's site. http://www.cachassisworks.com/techtips.htm
This will give you some good info also and if you look at it from Billy's point of view you should be able to come up with a workable design...
Yeah, that RPM site is pretty much for the roundy-rounders.
You can get a little drag info at some of the other manufacturers' sites, but not all of it is good. In other words, even the people that make 4links can steer you wrong.
For instance, they'll tell you that, if you drive the car on the streets, the links (upper and lower) should be parallel. This much is true. Unless the axle brackets...on at least one side...are free to rotate on the housing (a "floating" mount), a non-parallel link arrangement will result in a "binding" of the linkage as the car corners. This is because the right side link pair is trying to rotate the housing in one direction while the left side link pair is trying to rotate it in the other. But, if the pivot point is at infinity (parallel links), no binding will occur.
But, they'll usually go on to say that the links should also be parallel to the ground for the street. This is NOT true! This will yield excessive squat (of the rear of the car) as you accelerate. If the parallel link pairs are angled up from the rear, you can lessen or eliminate the squat and still avoid binding.
At the strip, you can find all kinds of non-parallel arrangements being used by racers. So long as you remember to return to the parallel arrangement before driving home, those Heim joints and links can take quite a bit of punishment.
There is, however, a little-known "trick" that can be used which works effectively on both the street and at the strip. On the street, it allows you to drive hard through the corners without worrying about binding, and, at the strip, it cancels driveshaft torque, allowing equal rear tire loading as you launch. In other words, it's "set it and forget it."
I mentioned angling up the parallel bars to reduce squat. If those links are set at an angle, to the strip surface, which has a tangent equal to the center of gravity height divided by the wheelbase, the squat is entirely eliminated. Any angle greater than that will cause the rear of the car to rise on acceleration. So, here's the trick: Set the parallel right side link pair to an angle 5 degrees greater than the angle I've just described and set the parallel left side link pair to an angle 5 degrees less. Stop and think about what this will do. The right side wants to rise (slightly) and the left side wants to squat. The net result will be an increased loading of the right rear tire which is in opposition to the unloading caused by driveshaft torque. The 5 degrees is, of course, a starting point. You might want a little more or a little less, but, with the average car, that will get you pretty close to full cancellation of the driveshaft torque.
As the RPM site points out, any upward angling of the parallel link pairs will result in a certain amount of that which is called "roll oversteer." That rear axle assembly is rotated, when you go through a turn, in a manner similar to the front axle of the push kart you made as a kid. But, here's something to remember about roll understeer/oversteer (and many roundy-rounders don't even know this): The roll U/O DOES NOT CHANGE THE WHEEL LOADINGS. In other words, the car is able to negotiate a given curve at the same speed, with or without the roll U/O. All the roll U/O does is change the amount of steering wheel angle required. The psychological effect is, however, very strong and it's often very difficult to convince a driver that the basic handling hasn't been changed when roll U/O is introduced.
Here is a very informative site...
granted it is circle track oriented but you will get the idea and pick up some knowledge...

Report on Bridgegate Scandal Being Released
A report on the Bridgegate scandal is expected to absolve Governor Chris Christie and many of his staffers of any wrongdoing.
The Wall Street Journal says investigators will blame former deputy chief of staff Bridget Anne Kelly and former Port Authority official David Wildstein for the George Washington Bridge lane closures. The report will say they had "ulterior motives" for their actions.
The lawyers investigating the scandal were hired by Governor Christie. Their report will be made public today.
The review leaves unanswered questions about the involvement of former Christie campaign manager Bill Stepien and former Port Authority official Bill Baroni. But it says no other member of the administration was involved in the closures or the cover up of the scandal.
Attorneys interviewed 70 people as part of its investigation, including several top staffers in the Christie administration. They also reviewed 250,000 documents, including personal emails and text messages. Kelly, Wildstein, Stepien and Baroni all declined to be interviewed.
This won't be the last statement on the Bridgegate scandal. A New Jersey legislative panel is also investigating the situation.

Just out of curiosity, why did you guys go with this spike that needs a plate made to be install it instead of the ones everyone else has used that require very little modification to install?
I've been gone a while but how is this going? What all needs to be done still? Any updates?
I know I keep asking, but where are we at on these? Who do I send money to? I wanna get some smooth ones for powder.

Is that the same robo who's around here all the time? Didn't know he had his own site, which I've just added to my faves.
or you could just play with the icons and figure them out?
There is a decent introduction section that explains a lot about the forum under the help function.
Good point Kathy, but I still have memories of sticking a bobby pin in an electrical outlet as a kid
One important factor I've found when examining the benefits/disadvantages of top vents/entrances on hives is that the venting must be designed into the the hive system to be effective, proping tops with sticks, drilling holes, or what ever are 1/2 way measures that produce 1/2 results. Dedicated top entrances or vents such as I use works well.
There is nothing complicated about upper entrance.One simply cuts a notch in the rim of the cover. Cut it only to the 1/4" ply which is usualy set in a groove in the center, or there abouts, of the frame. In old days, there was a smaller rim on one side and about twice as thick-a-rim on the other. One was for Summer use, other for Winter. But, when one would flip it in winter mode, than entrance would be on top - which is wrong! Wrong for the simple reason that the air would than go through centre/feeding hole and out over the top and out. (Cross-draft)Nowadays the inner cover is about 3/4" thick (not thick like the old ones) therefore is divided in 3 parts; 1/4" for plywood center and 1/4" for each rim. Simple.
Have your upper entrance on the same side of hive as is the bottom entrance. Thus doing, no matter where the cluster locates, the air flow, so called chimney effect is always along the front wall of the hive and no cross-draft or any draft at all can reach your bees no matter what.
Thomas, throw the shims away, they are a pain in the but, more ways than one...No matter who, what and how famous a beek may use them, they are no good. For those who would want to get away from them, upper entrances, at other times of the year, (For the life off me I can't see why?) They can simply turn the cover upside down, or have a stick made, on a pin even, so it can be closed at a moments notice. Nation wide, upper entrance saves more hives than we can imagine. Often beeks don't even know that such a little cut in the top has saved their bacon... probably more than once a year - GUARANTEED !Nuff said...Regards,Trot

On Hannity & Colmes, Sean Hannity stated that under President George W. Bush, "We created 10 million new jobs, lower unemployment than in the last four decades' average." In fact, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the United States has gained 2,866,000 net private-sector jobs between 2001, when Bush took office, and the first quarter of 2008.
On the December 8 edition of Fox News' Hannity & Colmes, co-host Sean Hannity stated, "We had a good six and a half years with the economy." He later added: "We created 10 million new jobs, lower unemployment than in the last four decades' average." However, Hannity's claim that "10 million new jobs" have been created during the Bush administration is false. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), the United States has gained 2,866,000 net private-sector jobs between 2001, when President George W. Bush took office, and the first quarter of 2008. (According to the BLS, the United States has experienced a net loss of private-sector jobs each month since the first quarter of 2008 ended in March.) In contrast with Bush, the United States gained 10,749,000 net private-sector jobs during President Clinton's first term in office, from 1993 through 1996. The U.S. gained 10,270,000 net private-sector jobs during his second term, from 1997 through 2000.
Additionally, Hannity's suggestion that the unemployment rate represents an accomplishment for Bush ignores the fact that the unemployment rate that Bush inherited from Clinton is lower than the average unemployment rate during the Bush years. According to the BLS, the average seasonally adjusted unemployment rate since 2001 is 5.2 percent, which is lower than the average rate for the 1990s, but higher than in 1997, 1998, 1999, and 2000 -- the last four years before Bush took office. According to the BLS, the unemployment rate was 6.7 percent in November, and the lowest annual unemployment rate under Bush was 4.6 percent in 2006 and 2007, all of which are higher than the unemployment rates in 1998, 1999, and 2000 (4.5 percent, 4.2 percent, and 4.0 percent, respectively).
Indeed, as Media Matters for America has documented, the BLS reports that the annual average unemployment rate rose to 7.5 percent in 1992, the last full year of President George H.W. Bush's term. The unemployment rate declined every year during Clinton's presidency, falling to 4.5 percent in 1998 and 4.2 percent in 1999 -- both lower than current unemployment.
As Media Matters has also noted, in 2006 Hannity similarly claimed that the unemployment rate at the time was "literally ... lower than the '70s, '80s, and '90s."
From the December 8 edition of Fox News' Hannity & Colmes:
HANNITY: Dick, if we -- anywhere we look in the world, whenever you have government-controlled economic systems --
DICK MORRIS (Fox News political analyst and syndicated columnist): Yes.
HANNITY: -- you have economic stagnation and you have poverty.
MORRIS: Absolutely. Absolutely.
HANNITY: Is that what America's headed towards?
MORRIS: We're headed toward that. But before we get there we're gonna have massive, unbelievable inflation, because, basically, they're just printing this money, and any semblance of fiscal discipline has completely gone out the window.
Not under Obama's presidency, under Bush's, and a Republican Congress --
HANNITY: Well.
MORRIS: -- or Democratic, but with Republicans in it.
HANNITY: Well, I --
MORRIS: And -- and so that we're headed --
HANNITY: We had -- we had good --
MORRIS: -- for massive inflation and stagnation.
HANNITY: We had a good six and a half years with the economy. Let's be honest. He inherited a recession, meaning President Bush.
ALAN COLMES (co-host): No, he didn't.
HANNITY: He -- he inherited a recession.
COLMES: He didn't.
HANNITY: He had the negative impact on the economy on 9-11. We created 10 million new jobs, lower unemployment than in the last four decades' average. We had a lot of good years. There is an ebb and flow to the economy.

Muslim women in Great Britain continue encountering cultural issues that impair their integration within british society. For example, Aishan Azmi, a teaching assistant in a primary school, was suspended for wearing a veil that only allowed her eyes to show. The school felt such attire interfered with her ability to teach English to children. In another case, Samina Malik, wrote poems on the Internet glorifying martyrs and beheadings. She was subsequently sentenced to a nine month suspended sentence. Muhammad Abdul Bari, secretary-general of the Muslim Council of Britain criticized the ruling claiming, "many young people download objectionable material from the Internet, but it seems that if you are a Muslim then this could lead to terrorist charges."
The British government is allocating nearly $200 million on programs for Muslim women. Women will be encouraged to get into education and career opportunities that will get them integrated within British society. A majority of England's Muslims are from Pakistan and Bangladesh, two groups that are m ore isolated than other immigrants. Shaista Gohir, chief executive of the Muslim Women's Network responded positively to the new government initiatives saying, "It's not about women becoming investigators(and spies). It's about giving them a greater role in public life."
Among the greatest challenge to this initiative is confronting with language barriers which have held back Muslim employment in England.

Umm... What?
A lot of boats have to get on plane to get through the ditches, especially at their mouths. Calm yourself.
If you hunt a public impoundment, expect crowds, with crowds come idiots. Especially on opening day for God's sake. I really don't understand the complaining. You all signed up for it.
MSparks909 wrote:First post here. Long time lurker. I, too had the misfortune of hunting with every duck dynasty wannabes in ENC at PP this past Saturday. I scouted Friday morning. First ones there. Found a nice pocket of birds in #2. Decided to leave around midnight to beat the crowds to the spot. Got to the spot around 1:15. I was the first truck at the ramp and our group was the first group to the impoundments. Other groups started showing up between 2-3 and they kept coming...right up until 5:45. There was multiple groups of complete asshats who found it ncessary to run their boats ON PLANE through the ditches surrounding the impoundments and curse at us when we yelled at them to slow down. We had 2 groups within 80 yards on either side of us who sky busted at several flocks of teal coming into our hole. We left by 8:30, completely furious with the whole morning. Still managed to get 3 drake BWT. As we were leaving we were absolutely shocked at the # of boats at the impoundments. Counted 38 trucks at the boat ramps. Heard from several other groups at the ramp that a number of guys killed black ducks and one guy killed a drake pintail in #4. Absolute circus out there. Drove by CC on the way out and it was the same story. 30+ trucks and trailers.
I'm planning on scouting that area Friday but am not sure where. The sheer number of @****** out there really has me thinking if going back is even worth it. Maybe there will be less crowds but I'm not sure. One thing that didn't help the situation at all was all the idiots posting on the DU Migration map last week. If you see ducks, Keep.Your.Mouth.Shut and don't do the cyber scouters any favors. Rant over. If I do go out I'll be in a yellow Scout 20' boat. Was on my buddies camo boat last weekend.

A Leg Up On R[ By John Styers ]
One is often tasked with adopting new software to use. I was recently faced with getting up to speed on the use of R, "a language and environment for statistical computing and graphics." The most natural place to turn to is the documentation.
When using new software, I always find that one has to reach a threshold, or logic, beyond which use (and learning/adopting new features) of the software becomes natural. From "R-intro.pdf":
"The following session is intended to introduce to you some features of the R environment by using them. Many features of the system will be unfamiliar and puzzling at first, but this puzzlement will soon disappear." - David M. Smith
However, I found the documentation not quite so helpful. Actually blazing the trail from unfamiliarity to producing a plot of the data was a long (five days) and rather arduous journey. The following tutorial is an attempt to help the reader avoid similar difficulties, accelerating their introduction to R.
The first point to make is that virtually EVERYTHING in R is followed by parenthesis, even "quit":
> quit()
One of the primary tasks for this type of program is reading data from a file. To read a single column of data, enter:
> xnew <- read.table("data1D")
R can also read multi-column data sets from a comma-separated file. For example, the following file named "data2D.csv":
2741813084,2189.075,2197.116 2020956776,596.208,360.968 1892913644,342.413,342.807 1735159400,317.133,315.858 1299728072,170.853,169.788
This file can be read using the read.table() function, specifying a comma as the separator between values:
> xnew <- read.table("data2D.csv", sep = ",")
[Note: Be sure to remove any text headers on the columns or rows, as non-numerical data can confuse R.)
In the above examples, "xnew" is the data object (data.frame) one is reading in, and "data1D" and "data2D.csv" are the comma-delimited files being read. Note that the quotes around the function parameters are required.
Something else to note about R is that all operations on an object need the "<-" operand. The direction of the arrow denotes flow.
To view an object, just type it:
> xnew V1 V2 V3 1 2741813084 2189.075 2197.116 2 2020956776 596.208 360.968 3 1892913644 342.413 342.807 4 1735159400 317.133 315.858 5 1299728072 170.853 169.788
Individual columns from "xnew" can be stored as new data objects:
> col1 <- xnew[1] # the number in braces represents the column > col2 <- xnew[2] > col3 <- xnew[3]
These can then be combined to create the two-dimensional objects needed for a plot:
> colnew <- data.frame(col1, col2) > colnew2 <- data.frame(col1, col3)
Basic plotting is simple, but can be made quite complex due to the multitude of options available. Here is an example that produces a rather nice plot and shows many of the necessary basics.
# create and title chart, plot points, and label axes > plot(colnew, main="With and Without Singular Vectors, Time (seconds) vs. Size (bytes)", xlab="Size (bytes)", ylab="Time (seconds)", col=4) # draw lines between the plotted points > lines(colnew) # allow multiple plots on the same chart > par(new = T) # So one can write onto the same plot. # plot second set of points > plot(colnew2, pch="+", col=2, xlab="Size (bytes)", ylab="Time (seconds)") # draw lines between the second set of plotted points > lines(colnew2) # create legend for first plot > legend("topleft", pch=1, col=4, "Without Singular Vectors") # create legend for second plot > legend(x = 1.24e+09, y=2090, pch="+", col=2, "With Singular Vectors")
These operations are carried out in "live time," so one catch watch the effects of the commands as they are entered.
Finally, to write this chart to a PostScript file, enter:
> dev.copy2eps()
This creates a file with the name "Rplot.eps". Multiple files are put into subsequent pages.
Simple, right? The above took five days. I hope this makes YOUR journey smoother.
Sharing File Access Safely[ By Craig Stephenson ]
One aspect of Linux that seems to confuse beginner and intermediate users alike is file permissions, particularly the effects of permissions on nested directories. To complicate matters further, ARSC has strict policies concerning what permissions users can and cannot set on their files. If one does not have a thorough understanding of Linux file permissions, it is easy to accidentally violate ARSC's security policies while trying to share the files in a directory with another user. This article demonstrates how to safely share access to your files.
Sharing Run Access To An Executable
Suppose you have written a useful program you would like to allow other members of your group, or perhaps even members of other groups, to execute. If this is a compiled code, users do not necessarily need read access to run the program, so others can run your executable without being able to copy it.
In this example, the program we want to share execute access to is located here:
Sharing execute access is, unfortunately, not just as simple as giving the myProgram file group or world execute access. Each directory in the path must also have execute access. The following command will allow every user on the system to run your program, without allowing them to copy it, and without allowing them to view the contents of your directories.
> chmod 711 $HOME $HOME/bin $HOME/bin/myProgram
This command gives myProgram and the two directories above it group and world execute access. The permissions look like this:
> ls -ld $HOME $HOME/bin $HOME/bin/myProgram drwx--x--x 82 user group 8192 2009-07-10 10:34 /u1/uaf/user drwx--x--x 2 user group 4096 2009-07-10 10:34 /u1/uaf/user/bin -rwx--x--x 1 user group 8378 2009-07-10 10:34 /u1/uaf/user/bin/myProgram
Setting the execute bit on a directory allows that directory to provide the inode information needed to access the contents of a file or subdirectory. In this case, both $HOME and its subdirectory, $HOME/bin, require the execute bit to allow access to $HOME/bin/myProgram.
As a cautionary note, executable scripts (e.g., perl, bash, etc.) differ from compiled executables in that they require both read and execute permissions to run, as the interpreter must read and process the script's high-level source code on the fly.
Sharing Read Access To Files
Read access gives users the ability to copy, use, or read files and to view the contents of directories. As in the previous example, granting read access to a file or directory requires that execute permissions be set on all of the directories in its path.
If you wanted to give all users on the system the ability to copy myProgram and also list all of the files in your $HOME/bin directory, the following commands would work:
> chmod 711 $HOME > chmod 755 $HOME/bin $HOME/bin/myProgram
Resulting in permissions that look like this:
> ls -ld $HOME $HOME/bin $HOME/bin/myProgram drwx--x--x 82 user group 8192 2009-07-10 10:34 /u1/uaf/user drwxr-xr-x 2 user group 4096 2009-07-10 10:55 /u1/uaf/user/bin -rwxr-xr-x 1 user group 8378 2009-07-10 10:34 /u1/uaf/user/bin/myProgram
While these permissions allow all users to read myProgram and list the files in $HOME/bin, only you will be able to list the files in your $HOME directory.
Please also note that the files listed under "Environment (or "Dot") Files/Directories" on the following web page should never have group or world read access:
Sharing Write Access To Files/Directories
It is a violation of ARSC's security policies to have:
- either group or world write permissions set on your $HOME directory
- world write permissions set on any of your files
You may, however, create a group-writable directory in your $WORKDIR or $ARCHIVE_HOME where other members of your group can write files. If the goal is to allow other members of your group to read, write, and list files in this directory:
The following permissions, at a minimum, would be required:
> chmod 710 $WORKDIR > chmod 770 $WORKDIR/groupFiles
The permissions should look like this:
> ls -ld $WORKDIR $WORKDIR/groupFiles drwx--x--- 15 user group 4096 2009-07-10 12:48 /wrkdir/user drwxrwx--- 2 user group 4096 2009-07-10 12:50 /wrkdir/user/groupFiles
If members of your group belong to multiple groups, it would probably be wise to set the setgid bit on the $WORKDIR/groupFiles directory, too:
> chmod g+s $WORKDIR/groupFiles
This will ensure that any new files or directories created in the groupFiles directory belong to the same group as its parent directory. In other words, it will help keep group ownership consistent within the directory tree.
More information on setting up shared group directories can be found in newsletter issue 372:
As these examples have shown, it is important to remember that file permissions are affected by every directory above them. Owing to this, users are given quite a bit of flexibility in how to share individual files or entire directory trees.

A:[[ I just exceeded my $HOME directory quota. I would like to move some [[ files to my $ARCHIVE_HOME directory to make room, but I'm not sure where [[ to start. Is there some command I can use to help me free up space by [[ moving files I haven't used in a while? # # The following response from Rahul Nabar shows how to identify older # files via a "find" option: # #Files older than 90 days. find "$HOME" -name '*' -ctime '+90' #This tiny bash script might help you copy the files over (not well tested!) #################################### #!/usr/bin/env bash files=`find "${HOME}" -name '*' -ctime '+90'` for file in $files do T1=`echo "${file}" sed "s@$HOME@$ARCHIVE_HOME@"` T2=`dirname "${T1}"` mkdir -p "${T2}" cp "${file}" "${T2}" done #################################### Finally delete using: find "$HOME" -name '*' -ctime '+90' xargs rm -f # # Ryan Czerwiec explains how to combine the "ls" and "find" commands to # sort all files within a directory tree using various "ls" options: # This calls for something like ls -R, but that can be unwieldy in the way it formats subdirectory listings. Start with something like: ls -dp `find $HOME -name "*"` This will list directory names as well, which are not necessarily germane to this search and can have misleading statistics, but you'll be able to tell which entries are directories and consider them appropriately. -d here makes ls list just directory names, not contents (find will get the contents anyway, so without -d you'd get them all twice, and also why I'm not using the -exec option of find to run the ls command), and p flags directory names with a trailing / to help you identify them, which your OS might already do by color-coding them. Add further options to taste: t will sort by last time file was modified, u will sort by last time file was accessed, S will sort by file size, 1 (that's numeral one, not lower case L) will force single column output if that's easier for you to see or use, l (lower case L) will give all the file statistics: age, size, etc. (and single column output is now the default), and many more on the ls man page. If using -l (lower case L) you can tack on: grep -v "^d" to the end of the command to remove directory names from the listing, since they're not really what you want to get at (p option then becomes unnecessary). So, it sounds like you want something like: ls -dp1u `find $HOME -name "*"` or ls -dlu `find $HOME -name "*"` grep -v "^d" maybe even with a " more" tacked on to each so you see the listing one screen at a time. # # A tip from an editor: # The following command will display a list of first-level files and directories, along with their sizes (in kilobytes), sorted by size: du -sk * sort -n -k 1 This might help show where your cleaning efforts are best spent. Q: I am developing a script that reads in a formula from an input file to be used with a series of values (qp and et). E.g. val=qp + 0.000277777 * et Is there a way to use this formula within my script without writing my own formula parser? Here is an example of how I want to use this. % cat formula val=qp + 0.000277777 * et % cat myscript ... for all qp for all et <execute formula and print val> ... Then the output would be something like: qp et val 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 1.0 0.000277777 ... 1.0 0.0 1.0 1.0 1.0 1.000277777 ... The script is currently written in Perl, but I wouldn't be opposed to using Python.

Mayo Clinic surgeons have experience with many different varieties of replacement joints (prostheses) for the elbow. In some cases, you may need a replacement of just one portion of the joint. For example, if only the head of one of your forearm bones (radius) is damaged, it can be replaced with an artificial head.
If the entire joint needs to be replaced, the ends of the bones that come together in the elbow will be removed. Bones are hard tubes that contain a soft center. The long, slender ends of the artificial joint are inserted into the softer central part of the bones.
There are two main types of prosthetic devices available:

Robin van Persie has used his matchday programme notes to pay tribute to the Wales manager, Gary Speed, who died at the weekend.
"I was shocked to hear about Gary Speed's death on Sunday," said the Arsenal captain.
"In my first couple of years here I played against him during his spell at Bolton; I remember him as a really fit, good player who could read the game very well and had done so much in the Premier League over a number of years.
"I didn't know him personally, but he really came to my attention again when he made Aaron captain of Wales - that's when I started to find out a bit more about him, having a couple of chats with Aaron and thinking what a brave and forward-thinking move it was to give a 20 year-old that responsibility.
"It shows you what kind of guy he was, and that he had some great ideas for the future of Welsh football. Two Dutch friends of mine, Michael Kuijpers and Raymond Verheijen, were his physio and fitness coach with Wales - they told me some great stories about how good Gary was with the players and how well admired he was.
"Looking at the newspapers, every single tribute was about his footballing life, creating a lovely picture of who he was and all that he achieved. It's nice, because it ensures the younger generation get to know him properly and get a feel for everything he did.
"My deep sympathy goes to his family, friends and everyone who knew him."

Hey my friends!
How's your week going so far? Great, I hope :)
Thanks so much for your sweet comments on my
I'm wondering…are you always searching for tasty, easy
meals to prepare for your family during the week?
Oh me too! And I have found so so many at
Gosh, don't you just LOVE Ree? She just may be
my long-lost red-headed sister I never had. LOL
Anyway…she has an excellent, easy Roast Chicken Recipe
on her site. I've made it twice now- and my family LOVES it!
I wanted to share it with you…
It calls for fresh rosemary, lemons, butter, and
getting your hands a little messy :)
WARNING: While the chicken is roasting…
your family may believe for a moment that you are
Ree Drummond cooking on the Food Network
because you will get out your camera to take photos
of the rosemary & lemon zest and your kitchen will
smell like you own a fancy restaurant and they
will buy you extra Christmas presents
because they think you may be the next Martha Stewart :)
No, really.
It smells heavenly.
And if I can roast a chicken, anyone can…
Love to you all, my fellow chicken roasters.
If you try it, let me know :)

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Sorry, didn't tell you why.
Drum brakes rely on a one way seal at the cups in the wheel cylinders. The springs pull the shoes back. There is a possibility for the seals to relax when there is no pressure applied to them allowing air to enter the wheel cylinder. The next time you apply the brakes, you have a spongy pedal due to the air in the system. A 10 psi residual pressure valve keeps just enough pressure in the wheel cylinder to keep the air out.
Disc brakes rely on a square cut o-ring to seal the caliper. The flex of the o-ring will pull the piston back a couple thousandths of an inch so the pads do not wear when the brakes are released. The square cut o-ring seals equally inside and out. A residual pressure valve would cause the pads to wear prematurely.
When you have an under the floor master cylinder on disc brakes, the calipers can be higher than the MC. With nothing to restrict the fluid, it can flow back into the MC, pulling the caliper piston back into its bore. The next time you hit the pedal, it goes to the floor. A 2 psi residual pressure valve is enough to prevent the back flow but is not enough to keep the pads applied.
Will an 8 inch dual fit? A 7 inch dual on a car that size may be marginal.
Will this be an under floor mount? If so, you will need a 2 psi residual pressure valve for disc brakes when or if you eventually go to them. Buy the disc/disc unit and put two in-line 10 psi residual pressure valves in. Then when you do swap over to discs you can pull out the 10 and replace it with a 2. If it will be a firewall mount, you won't need the 2 psi units for the disc, but you can still use the 10 psi units for the drums. Replace the 10 psi units with unions when you go to discs.
54 chevy power brakes help
I am getting a 54 chevy 2dr sedan and right now it has original drum manual brakes all around. I was wanting to replace the master cylinder with a power brake booster and master cylinder kit. like a 7inch dual diaphram kit from speedway for example. but my question is these kits all say they are suited for disc/disc or disc/drum applications, I dont have the money to upgrade to disc brakes in the front, so will one of these kits still work well for my drum/drum application? If not then why? and what will work? I'd really like to have power brakes and disc brakes would be ideal but I don't have alot of money to spend.

He also lead the league in blocks (more than 1.5 ahead of the next guy). Whether it's the psychological impact or not, he's an important defensive presence. You're right in one regard, though - he's not a great defensive center. His natural position is power forward, where he played about 95% of the time he was on the court.

Comcast bills to increase: 1.6 percent
"While we've worked hard to hold down price adjustments, the average customer bill will increase by 1.6 percent, beginning with the February 2013 billing cycle," said Comcast spokesman Marc Goodman.
A notice sent to Manchester officials detailed the price hikes. The monthly charge for limited basic cable in the Manchester area will go from $23.07 to $24.60. Expanded basic will go from $44.20 to $45.15.
The Starter Triple Play Bundle, with telephone, digital television and high-speed Internet, will go from $137 to $142 per month.
"We continue making investments in our network and next-generation technology to make enhancements customers want," said Goodman, "including faster Internet speeds, more multi-platform video, improved customer service and self-help options."
Customers currently on a Comcast promotional offer won't see increases until that promotion expires.
Dish Network recently announced an increase in the price of its core TV bundles effective this month, with most packages rising $5 per month. DirecTV announced price increases averaging 4.5 percent, starting in February.
Cable and satellite providers cited the higher costs for programs and the need for investments in new technology as reasons for the increases.
A DirecTV spokesman said that company has to pay about 8 percent more for programs, since almost all of its providers are hiking their rates, according to Reuters.

I haven't been paying attention...which team does Daryl Wade play for?
I think he plays for these guys.
Stop it, your killin me!
Ow ow Ow Ow!!!
I think Joe looked at the direction the league was heading and made the decision to go with the offensive minded coach over the defensive minded player.
This sounds right to me Jammer.
If Joe's that short-sighted, we're doomed. Flip isn't the only offensive-minded coach out there. I've convinced myself Flip's a caretaker until Joe remakes the team next summer.
Say it aint so.

Drug Shortages Continue to Vex Doctors
The most acute shortage is that of basic IV fluids, a drug expert whose data was used in a watchdog agencys analysis said.
nytimes.com / By SABRINA TAVERNISE / FEB. 10, 2014
Despite efforts by the Obama administration to ease shortages of critical drugs, shortfalls have persisted, forcing doctors to resort to rationing in some cases or to scramble for alternatives, a government watchdog agency said on Monday. The number of annual drug shortages both new and continuing ones nearly tripled from 2007 to 2012.
In recent years, drug shortages have become an all but permanent part of the American medical landscape. The most common ones are for generic versions of sterile injectable drugs, partly because factories that make them are aging and prone to quality problems, causing temporary closings of production lines or even entire factories.
The analysis by the United States Government Accountability Office, released Monday, was required by a 2012 law that gave the Food and Drug Administration more power to manage shortages. The watchdog agency was designated to evaluate whether the F.D.A. had improved its response to the problem, among other things.
