"Jumping genes" are ubiquitous. Every domain of life hosts these sequences of DNA that can "jump" from one position to another along a chromosome; in fact, nearly half the human genome is made up of jumping genes. Depending on their specific excision and insertion points, jumping genes can interrupt or trigger gene expression, driving genetic mutation and contributing to cell diversification. Since their discovery in the 1940s, researchers have been able to study the behavior of these jumping genes, generally known as transposons or transposable elements (TE), primarily through indirect methods that infer individual activity from bulk results. However, such techniques are not sensitive enough to determine precisely how or why the transposons jump, and what factors trigger their activity.
Reporting in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, scientists at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign have observed jumping gene activity in real time within living cells. The study is the collaborative effort of physics professors Thomas Kuhlman and Nigel Goldenfeld, at the Center for the Physics of Living Cells, a National Science Foundation Physics Frontiers Center.

This sled is in great condition with only 1683 miles on it. It is a Fuel Injected 650 triple. The color is Black and purple. If has Fox shocks in the front and rear an extra drive belt the track is studded and in great shape. The seat has NO tears in it. The sled also has a belly pan installed and the underside of this sled look almost new. It also comes with a cover and some bags. This sled is very fast and I think you would be hard pressed to find another in better condition. It could use new ski covers and carbides and possibly a new battery but Im attempting to charge it now. Also it is missing one mirror. Other than the studs this sled is bone stock. Asking $1800

I am pleased to introduce our first Boing Boing Gadgets intern/research thrall, Mr. Brian Copeland, hereafter to be known only as "Copeland." His first task is to start getting some of these prizes in place for our C@H team. There are more to come. Time to take back first place!
For those of you interested in a little computational charity, Boing Boing Gadgets has started a team over at Cosmology@Home. (One we sort have neglected for a month or so. Sorry about that!) Professor Ben Wandelt has some science smut to describe what the team is computing for now:
The goal of Cosmology@Home is to search for the model that best describes our Universe and to find the range of models that agree with the available astronomical and particle physics data. In order to achieve this goal, participants in Cosmology@Home (i.e. you!) will compute the observable predictions of millions of theoretical models with different parameter combinations. We will use the results of your computations to compare all the available data with these models.
As an incentive for donating your CPU's time, we're offering 25 randomly selected members of the team a GelaSkin for your iPod/iPhone, along with one to accessorize that laptop (color coordinating is extremely important, after all). To sign up, follow the instructions on Cosmology@Home's main site, then search for team "boing boing." Winners will be picked Friday.

Exceptional Post About Muscle Mass Building That Is Simple To Stick To Alongside
You may have observed that muscle building is hard work which takes time. Whilst that's real, it's more valuable to learn to build muscles rather than exercise every day. In order to build muscles proficiently, you need to
what you can do and what to refrain from doing. Please read on for many direction on how to develop muscles.
Vegetables are as essential to muscle development as any other nutrient. Some muscle tissue-developing diet programs disregard vegetables when working on complex carbs and protein. Fresh vegetables offer nutrition that you are not able to find in most carb and health proteins-wealthy food items. Vegetables can also be great types of fiber content. Fibers will allow your system to utilize proteins more effectively.
Do not workout 1 day and stick to it by another training session the subsequent. Generally skip one day involving to ensure that your muscle mass get the time that they have to maintenance their selves well before working out once again. Unless you let them mend, they will not build as fast as you desire these to, and you also could find yourself harming yourself.
Quick-term consumption of creatine monohydrate nutritional supplements will help you construct muscles with minimum hazards. Creatine monohydrate plays a crucial role in your body in that it must be needed to generate ATP, an elementary and essential form of power. The body are not able to functionality without ATP, and lack of creatine monohydrate may cause muscles difficulties. Developing a advanced level of creatine monohydrate will allow you to exercise much more intensely, as well as for an extended time frame.
It is extremely vital that you stand correctly when conducting standing workouts, such as overhead presses and squats. These exercises call for a form of sporting position. To have this, you must stay with your ft at in regards to the size of your respective shoulder blades. Then, slightly position your toes outward, bend the knees, and arch your back. Always make sure that your eyesight are looking ahead.
Ensure that you are maintaining a healthy diet food products every 3 hours. See how several calories you will have to ingest each day, then break down that by six. The number that you get can tell you how many calories you will have to ingest when you are consuming your diet.
Take into account that muscles don't increase although you're hitting the gym they expand through the sleeping time period whenever they feel tender. That is why, it's most efficient to swap workout time to provide your own muscles time and energy to relax and increase. Working out seriously each day will just put on your muscle mass down.
On the days and nights following your routines, it's best to sleep and eat a lot of sugars. This assists your body to create muscle tissue and get over expending energy throughout the exercise. That way, you'll view the largest muscle mass growth
probable through the work out you probably did. Noodles, peanut butter sandwiches, and other foods are perfect for this.
To help in constructing lean body mass, attempt mixing up up your repetition is important. When you typically do 6-8 repetitions, attempt undertaking 4-6 repetitions. The muscles will have to adapt in different ways, and you will definitely give your routine a brand new kick. This way, you are going to build up your lean muscle mass more quickly.
Its not all dietary supplements are the same when it comes to helping you to create the muscle tissues you require. Avoid any supplements who have heavier materials. Most specialists advise employing absolutely nothing stronger when compared to a fundamental pure whey protein so that you will don't cause any awful side effects for your individual physique.
Try out partial repetitions to be able to grow muscle groups. This technique involves doing repetitions with a diminished range of motion. Occasionally, these are typically named pulse reps, and are generally carried out at the end of a establish once you struck failing. Although you possibly will not have adequate strength to perform a comprehensive rep, you can consider out some part reps up until you get to breakdown another time so that you can put more demand in your muscles.
Since we mentioned earlier in this article, training on how to develop muscles is more crucial than your responsibility degree. Should you don't learn how to technique muscle development, you won't start to see the final results you would like even when you exercise each day. Make use of the recommendations you read in the following paragraphs that will help you develop your muscle tissue efficiently.

10 Things The CEO Can Do To Drive Digital
Posted by George Colony on June 14, 2013
- 469 Recommendations
- 6 comments
Forrester held its European Business Technology Forum in London this week -- a convocation of CIOs, Enterprise Architects, Infrastructure and Operations Professionals, Security and Risk Professionals, and Sourcing and Vendor Management Professionals. Lots of great connections were made in London, as per the pic on the left. On Monday night I hosted a working dinner for 20 executives -- a very lively group from BASF, Tetra Pak, Unilever, KLM, Bayer, the WTO, and other large European companies. What's very much on the minds of these BT execs is how to position their companies to be more digital. And when they use the term "digital" they mean, "Using technology to win customers."
So over dinner we worked on a simple question: "What are the top 10 things a CEO should do to ensure that his or her company can successfully become digital?" Here's the best thinking that the group could muster after much good food, wine, humor, and fun. I have built in some links to relevant Forrester thinking...
- Clearly define who owns digital. Clean up the organizational confusion.
- Create the business case for digital. Show how it increases revenue or increases profit (or both).
- If you can't understand the new world of digital, fire yourself.
- Build an executive team that is digital first (when problems arise, the first solution is always digital).
- Build an executive team that is mobile first (when linking to customers, the first alternative is always mobile).
- Make sure there is a techie on the board of directors. If the board has a low digital IQ, the company will have a low digital IQ.
- Go to Silicon Valley once per year and talk to the disrupters. Understand their modus operandi and their methods.
- Don't block Facebook, Twitter and other social sites within the company. Make a point of attracting digital natives into the organization.
- Require that every business function and system in the company is always available on any device at any time.
- Figure out where the business will be most disrupted, and send the digital troops there. Don't spread them everywhere -- go where the fight is.
You have better ideas? I'd love to have you post them here as comments -- thanks in advance.

Hi, I liked the post so much I thought I'd review it.
also thought you might prefer getting this from the source rather than from some press review weeks from now.
Nice additional thoughts...
Comment from George Colony on Mon, 06/24/2013 - 12:34
You have some good augmentation for the "Top 10."
Thank you!
Interesting review. However,

Interesting review. However, it saddens me to know that still, there are organizations out there that are not fully aware of the true value of having digital fully integrated into the mix, and therefore have yet to brush up on some of the basics listed in this top 10.
Yes, but ...
Comment from Jas Mann on Thu, 07/11/2013 - 14:29
Mr. Colony,
These are noble goals, but haven't you left out ensuring that you do not alienate present or future clients?
Your advertisements with Information Week are not viewed kindly by IT professionals. Where this was once a quality publication, their content has become poorly written and irrelevant. Information Week exists now only to spam its former subscribers relentlessly, and to making it impossible to opt out of their spam lists.
Your association with a spammer reflects poorly on your good company name, and influences me negatively. May I suggest you add an eleventh entry to your list?
Interesting article and good
Comment from Mary Key (not verified) on Tue, 09/03/2013 - 18:31
Interesting article and good tips; thanks for sharing. Times have definitely changed and businesses can improve productivity by going digital. We just recently blogged about redefining your organizational change process. Check it out...would love your feedback. http://www.keyassociatesinc.com/organizational-change-process
First questions first
Comment from Jonathan McIntyre (not verified) on Mon, 12/09/2013 - 16:55
This is a thought provoking list of 10 things, although I think most of these things are logistical, and are skipping to the implementation phase of a digital conversion. The first step is the strategy phase. It's answering the question: "How can digital help our business do what we do better?"
This is stated more generally in number 2, "Create the business case for digital", but no insight is given in to how to accomplish that. So how to answer that?
Think: What does going digital give you? It gives you ACCESS to information. Access for employees and customers, as well as undesirable access for competitors.
Access by employees to information previously stored only on paper can be made faster, easier and with lower cost when stored in digital, database form (although there is a cost to conversion of old info to digital). It has to be decided what new & old information will be stored in this way, and how best to capture/convert it, and store it.
Access by employees to information stored only in fellow employees' heads can be improved through a strategic use of social media.
Access by customers to information about your company can be made easier, which can lead to more qualified leads and more loyal customers, at lower expense.
With access comes the need for access control. You want customers to have access to some information, but not all. You want competitors to have as little access to your company's information as possible. Some information should only be accessible to a subset of employees within the company. This is the flip side of #9 in your list: access anything, anytime, by any device, but only if you have access rights!
Once you have a plan for what information you want available to which people, then you can go about bringing in the techies to figure out how to implement that information strategy by digital means. The focus needs to be on the desired flow of data and information first, before the focus goes to the tech. Too many make the mistake of being dazzled by tech, and wanting to jump in and "catch up", without first thinking through how to get the most business benefit for their investment in it, and how to avoid unintended negative consequences.

My mom purchased a Colinette kit on eBay, but she doesn't know the name of the colorway. She had separated out the yarn by type and color, but she doesn't know which color should be A,B, etc., and she doesn't want to run out of yarn if she doesn't use them in the right order. So... does anyone know which Colinette kit has Mohair 61, Mohair 10D, Raphael 70, and Zanziba 85 in it, to name a few?
I'd appreciate it very much if someone could tell me which colors are which letters, or at least know the name of the colorway so we could try to find out that information from another source. Thank you!!
In case you haven't already tried it, a Google search led me here. If you don't find it there, you could try contacting them. What does it make? That might help in efforts to ID it.
Thanks, Gramma. Yes, I did a Google search, too, but was unable to find yarn lists. The kit is one of the Absolutely Fabulous (aka Ab Fab) throws.
I have contacted Colinette directly, but with the time difference, they are now closed, and meanwhile, my mom is sitting here on vacation wishing she could start her project. I thought maybe someone here might have made that kit and would have the info before the manufacturer could get back to me.
Trying to find anything on this is difficult. That's not news to you. Is there a picture of the finished throw with the kit? If so maybe you could take a picture of the picture and post it. It might help.
There are some Colinette throws at www.ravelry.com. It seems you have to log in to look at them but joining is free. Maybe yours will actually show up there.
There are several pictured here. You may be lucky and find your mom's and be able to figure out color sequence from the expanded photos. I've tried searching on the Raphael yarn but didn't come up with anything. Contacting Colinette is a good idea. They should be able to help.Good luck in your search.
Thanks so much for your help. I just now received an e-mail from Colinette, and they have helped with the problem. Best wishes to you all.

Lazer Hyena
|This article may be out of date and in need of updating to include more recent information.
For specifics, check the edit history and talk page. Consult the Furry Book of Style for editing help.
Lazer Hyena, previously known as Vaga Deathrose, Snappywolf, and Arie Mouse (real name Ryan Leaptrott; born July 22, 1987),[1] a furry artist and fursuiter who lives in Otzberg, Germany. His fursona is a hyena.
Ryan has been in the fandom for several years, and changed fursonas a few times before deciding on a hyena. Previous fursonas included a mouse, wolf, and lion, who all remain characters of Lazer's, just no longer his main fursona.
As a character, Lazer was designed as an infamous space pirate. Maniacal, vicious, and crazy on one hand, on the other he can be silly, charming, and almost cute. The character stands at about 6'8" tall with taupe brown fur, black spots, paws, ears, and muzzle, and red and blue eyes. He is covered with quite a few facial piercings, including his nose, muzzle, ears, and eyebrow.
Lazer is also depeicted as a cub now and then, just for artistic purposes.
Activities in the fandom[edit]
Lazer is an active artist in the furry fandom, participating in several exchange communities on LiveJournal, including: 100x100 Exchange, Conbadges, Furotica Art Xchange, and the Real Media exchange. He also owns Arts_Exchange, an art trade community whose focus is on letting people create in whatever media they may desire, rather than limiting participants to one thing.
Lazer also enjoys attending Furry Weekend Atlanta every year, where he tends to occupy an Artist Alley table for around 15-20 hours (or more during the weekend). While there, Lazer loves to attend panels and other events (such as the fursuit parade), shop for new conbadges, and just relax with his friends.
Fursuits and other characters[edit]
Lazer has two fursuits: Mir (by Beetlecat), and Lazer (by SpaceMutt AKA Zim Gekko).
Other characters created by Lazer are Gigit Alien, Snappy (wolf), Jeffry (critter), Step (white lion), Arie (mouse), Taffy (lioness), Miriad (dragon), Olly (rat), Sniper (palm civett), and Raziel (ferretbadger).

JD Powers Overkill... PICS
First, JD Powers sent an online survey for our new AH7L. Done.
Then, a second online survey -- more details, plenty of redundancy.
Today I received a third "kit" in the mail requesting the same info, plus plenty more market/demo fishing, media preferences, income, etc. Plus a crisp ten dollar bill (didn't it used to be a dollar?) I guess that's for the OMR only tool they want filled out like an SAT exam. Too much. Three strikes. Ask your team to read these forums to collect info you sell to automakers.
For the record, the main "dislike" I indicated in first forms were the cheap/plasticky/creaky/noisy front seat cup-holders. I don't think the multipurpose insert is the best engineering choice for American market. This is minor. We've had zero issues with this BMW in its 4K miles and just over 3 mos. of mixed driving. (Same as my last '11 550 I kept for 15 mos.)
I love the power; the electric motor is sort of like having an aftermarket tuned-kit. The eight-speed transmission is a bonus over the regular 750s, the size is useful compared to the 5-series, I got the useful camera tech pkg, Head Up Display is very smart and adds safety/confidence, and the MPG is about 20% better overall than the 550.
We especially love the hybrid's ability to run the AC with the engine off (and cool down the car with AC by setting the timer ahead of time, or with a click of the key fob). The side windows are also dual paned -- not like the S-classes of the '90s, but more like a laminated design. (I included a pic). I'm not sure if this is for better insulation against noise/temp. but the car is very quiet.
Best of all was the cost. I know there are still new '12 AH7s, and if you're aggressive you can pick one up heavily discounted as many here know.
Oh, and I loved getting the thumbs up from a very pretty 30-something cyclist in Santa Monica last Sunday when she saw its prominent "hybrid" logo. Great car -- thx again BMW.

I got the same thing today. Frankly it didn't look like a new vehicle survey as much as it did looking for what magazines I wanted to buy. Looks like it was sent from jd power but also with mcgraw/hill. I put the $10spot in my wallet and threw the survey away.
Just wait. They'll keep sending like publishers clearinghouse.

The Forgotten (Hardcover)
In Paradise, nothing is what it seems... THE FORGOTTEN Army Special Agent John Puller is the best there is. A combat veteran, Puller is the man the U.S. Army relies on to investigate the toughest crimes facing the nation. Now he has a new case-but this time, the crime is personal: His aunt has been found dead in Paradise, Florida. A picture-perfect town on Florida's Gulf Coast, Paradise thrives on the wealthy tourists and retirees drawn to its gorgeous weather and beaches. The local police have ruled his aunt's death an unfortunate, tragic accident. But just before she died, she mailed a letter to Puller's father, telling him that beneath its beautiful veneer, Paradise is not all it seems to be. What Puller finds convinces him that his aunt's death was no accident . . . and that the palm trees and sandy beaches of Paradise may hide a conspiracy so shocking that some will go to unthinkable lengths to make sure the truth is never revealed.

I haven't had biscuits and gravy in years.
My kids probably wouldn't eat them, but I think my husband and I could polish them off.

New York library unveils plans for overhaul of Beaux-Arts flagship
By Jonathan Allen
NEW YORK (Reuters) - The New York Public Library released designs on Wednesday for an overhaul of its flagship Beaux-Arts building in Manhattan that will open to the public spaces that only library staff have seen for the past few decades.
Under the plan, patrons will be able to borrow books from a new 100,000-square-foot lending library, creating what Mayor Michael Bloomberg said would be the largest combined research and circulating library in the world.
"With the Central Library Plan, we will open up more of our landmark building to the public, offering both circulating and research collections in one place, as well as the programs, classes, materials and services needed by our patrons," New York Public Library President Tony Marx said in a statement.
The building, with two stone lions famously guarding the entrance on Fifth Avenue, opened in 1911 and was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1965. It became a research-only library in 1981 when the lending library was rehoused in a relatively drab building across the street.
That building will be closed when the renovation project is completed in 2018.
Project architect Norman Foster, who has previously designed modern additions to other historic buildings such as the British Museum in London and the Reichstag in Berlin, said the flagship building's chandelier-bedecked Rose Main Reading Room would not be touched.
The library is making space for the lending library and increased research space by removing much of its stacks - seven stories of steel shelving containing millions of research volumes - at the rear of the building that are currently closed to the public.
Many scholars had previously criticized early plans to send most of the displaced volumes across the Hudson River to a storage building in New Jersey, saying the library's mission as a research center would be harmed if it were to take up to 24 hours for a requested book to arrive. Continued...

WineSmith 2nd Fiddle PN: A customer profile
Our research shows the typical WineSmith customer is sophisticated, intelligent, and leery of unsolicited flattery. Data indicate the customer enjoys food, including breaded products. A savvy shopper and adequate dancer, particularly at weddings. The customer is able to communicate with most rodents. Our data indicate the customer is indifferent to the word "stagecoach."
Favorite soup is chicken-based in 75 percent of respondents.
According to our notes, the customer is likely to describe wine using terms like "tannins" or "fruit" and will probably refrain from the abstract or surreal ("This wine sure makes MY pony dance the bobo!").
Customer is likely to eat apples from the outside in. The customer is not a robot, but daydreams about becoming one. The customer is right to have those robot aspirations. It's what we all want. Because then we won't hurt any longer.

Officials need to explain how funds would be spent from potential tax-rate hike, Schlink says
Crestwood's sales-tax revenue decreased by approximately 25 percent from '05 to '12
Kari Williams
Staff Reporter
write the author
January 23, 2013 -
Crestwood officials must explain how funds from a potential tax-rate increase would be used to gain residents' support, according to Mayor Jeff Schlink.
"I think that if you go to the residents and say we've been cutting here, we've been cutting there, we can't cut anymore, we need a tax increase, I don't think that's a good enough story for somebody to vote yes on it," Schlink told the Board of Aldermen earlier this month. "I think that if it's a good enough story for somebody to vote yes on it, there has to be a reason as to what we're going to do with that money ..."
Bill Schelinski, who has filed for the Ward 2 seat on the Board of Aldermen in April's election, told the board "any penny" the board asks for in a property-tax increase comes out of a budget he runs out of his household "just like you guys are trying to do in your households and for the city."
"I understand the position you guys are in, but I have to feed my kids ...," Schelinski said. "I'd be behind you if you can sell me on it, but if you can't, I'd have to fight you tooth and nail. It's a matter of feeding my kids."
However, Crestwood firefighter Steve Toelke addressed the board on behalf of Local 2665 of the International Association of Fire Fighters in support of a tax-rate increase.
Resident Jerome Friedeck also told the board he is proud of Crestwood and is "willing to pay more taxes."
Ward 3 Alderman Jerry Miguel said the money would go toward offsetting "increasing deficits in the general fund."
"It's pretty straightforward as far as what needs to be looked at in my opinion," Miguel said, though he noted specifics would be needed as to how the money would be used to offset "increasing deficits."
Ward 1 Alderman Dan Tennessen's requested the tax-rate in-crease discussion because "the topic has come up several times over the last six months."
"I think that the residents of Crestwood need to be informed about our options," Tennessen said. "I'm not sure we need a tax increase to deliver quality services, and I have been impressed with how well the city has operated through the 20-percent decline in revenue that we have experienced since 2008. However, I know that cutting the first 10 percent of a budget can be easier and less impactful on performance than cutting 20 percent "
Crestwood's sales-tax revenue has decreased by roughly 25 percent from 2005 to 2012, according to information presented to the board. Citywide revenue has decreased roughly 21 percent from 2008 to 2012.
Tennessen said he believes the city needs a contingency plan, which Ward 2 Alderman Bob Deutschmann suggested at a previous board meeting.
"As we go into 2013, I believe we need a solid contingency plan, which is not about cutting $30,000 here or there ," he said. "Such a plan might include financial trigger points for taking action. It might include a residential tax increase, or it might include some other strategic change. I believe it is my job as an elected official to make sure that we have considered alternatives to cutting services ..."
Schlink said reviewing the city's revenues is something the newly appointed city administrator, Mark Sime, should be able to "take a much closer look at."
"I think as a city we need to look at a variety of things. One's going to be revenue, but it's not just revenue for the sake of revenue," Schlink said. "We also need to have a three- and five-year plan that goes along with that revenue. We hear today that we make cuts. We hear today that we don't have enough money. But we really don't ever talk about tomorrow."
Part of studying a tax-rate increase would include having Sime work with department heads in discussing five-year plans, according to Schlink.
Former Ward 3 Alderman Greg Roby told the board a tax-rate increase was placed before voters when he served on the board.
The proposed six-year, 35-cent tax-rate increase was defeated by voters in August 2008.
"At that time, Lindbergh hadn't asked for a (65)-cent tax in-crease. Special School District hadn't gotten an increase and the library district hadn't gotten a tax increase," Roby said. "So good luck getting anybody in Crestwood today to accept another tax increase with what they're currently paying."
Noting the city officials' attempt to obtain voter approval of a tax-rate increase in 2008, Tennessen said since that time Crestwood has had "significant revenue declines."
"The situation we're in now I think is more dire than in 2008," Tennessen said.
Tennessen said he would like a five-year plan and a gap analysis brought to the board by March 1 for the current board to consider placing an increase on the August ballot.
Though Schlink said he is not for or against a tax-rate increase, he does not know if "rushing something through to have it done by March 1 is the most thorough review of something that's this large that impacts this many people."
Tennessen said he would be concerned if the board let the issue lapse into a new board because it would "probably (be) looking beyond May, which would put us into 2015."

Team loses handful of seniors, but return a solid nucleus that should contend for district title
This year's Crook County High School track and field squad didn't have any superstars.
Still, the team was good enough to place second at the Greater Oregon League Championships in both the boys and girls divisions. The Cowboys went on to place 15th at state, while the Cowgirls could only muster one point at the state championships.
"It went good," said head coach Ernie Brooks. "They were a young team, but I think the girls are going to be deadly next year."
The girls squad will lose distance runner Kelley Thurman, thrower Marci Johnston, and sprinter Makinsi Gregory to graduation. However, the rest of the squad is still intact.
The Cowboys will lose more talent, but should still be solid next season. Possibly the biggest hit to the boys team is the loss of sprinters Hunter Bourland, Alex Greaves, Tyler Hulick, and Tyler Rockwood. The team will also lose Tevin Cooper, who placed fifth at the state meet in the javelin.
"The guys lose some talent in the sprints," Brooks said. "But we still have some young talent and we are not too far from going from rebuilding to reloading."
Throwers Chance Sutfin and Molly Viles, who both competed at this year's state championships, should lead a solid throwing core on next year's team. In addition, the team returns a solid nucleus from last year's cross country team that won the district championships.
Grayson Munn, who qualified for state in both the 1,500 and 3,000, is expected to lead an improving distance core.
"A lot of the kids say they are going to go out for cross country to stay in shape," Brooks said. "That will help cross country and can only help to make us better.
In order to develop that talent, Brooks is encouraging athletes to go out for more than one sport and is working to get people into the weight room.
"We are looking to develop three-sport athletes," he said. "We want them working in the weight room and getting stronger."
Brooks noted that the team had a larger-than-normal group of freshmen this season. He expects to have another solid group of freshmen come out next year. Coupled with a solid core of returning upperclassmen, Brooks believes that will give the team a lot of depth.
"We'll miss these seniors," he said. "It will be a changing of the guard, but the future looks bright. I think we will be competitive and make some noise at district and maybe challenge for a state trophy. The next couple of years are going to be fun."

School Shooting Drill Terrifies Unknowing Teachers - Local News Story - WCAU | Philadelphia
Not a good idea in a place(or state for that matter) that forbids self defense.
Mission accomplished they cowered and waited to be shot like expected,I wonder if they would be stupid enought to try that in a school that allows concealed carry.They would only try it once.I can't wait for the lawsuits from this stupidity
Well I hope they practice that a lot, so they just sit there and got shot properly.
Wouldn't want to screw that up, would we?
What is the purpose of this kind of drill? To see how scared you can make people? :slap:
That was stupid. So many things could've went badly. People could've really gotten hurt.
Dude with gun was lucky that everyone there was submissive.
Hopefully the teachers will see the light and realize that the no guns in schools is not the best way to prevent bad things from happening. After all, their bosses hired someone to carry a gun in there. Now that I think about it, did they arrest the ''shooter''?
The perp could have had a chair crush his skull...then they could have tested the local medical care unit.:blink:
Pretty dumb test for a school environment...OMO
Stay armed...anything can become a weapon...stay safe!
The people that come up with the ideas should have their homes broken into and the living daylights scared out of them from someone firing blanks. Then have the actor say "just kidding, relax its just a drill". MORONS....
Only a matter of time before some school staffer carrying (legally or otherwise) reacts like sheepdog on one of these...then of course, they'll be hung like criminal.
School Administrator: "But, Mr. Teacherman, it was only a joke; a drill if you will. You were not supposed to be armed and ready to defend. You were only supposed to cower and soil yourself. Why did you really kill this actor, he was only doing his job!"
Mr. Teacherman: "I was only doing my job, protecting our future! Now I will pay for your stupidity!"
Unbelievably stupid thing to do.
Since the unknowing participants in this "drill" were put in genuine fear for their lives, the chap doing the shooting should be charged with assault, IMHO.
Remember this is NJ, and I don't think one of the few hundred CCWers was there that day.
Agreed, this was a bad, bad idea.
This was done at a college not to many months ago....(anybody remember?)
While it is a dumb idea in scaring the crap out of everybody.....It does show that the majority of people are still sheep. NOBODY in either case tried to stop these guys.
They were surrounded by items that could be used as improvised weapons.....chairs, books, laptops...literally hundreds of projectiles....YET NOBODY DID ANYTHING OTHER THAN COWER.
In the case of an active shooter, there is not much worse that maybe encountered.......don't sit & wait to die!
That school district better be ready for some law suits.
I've heard of teachers suing the schools because a student or parent frightened them too much and caused anxiety disorders in the teacher.

Ask Health Experts and Get Answers to Your Health Question ASAP
Hello! I will be assisting you today. How much water or fluids do you consume in a day? What kind of diet do you have? Any medications or other medical conditions?
My pee is most of the time clear, I get pleanty of water. I recently took a pill for yeast infection (don't remember the name it
s and oral pill that starts with an f)
that was taken on Tuesday evening
Medication for a yeast infection (fluconazole) can cause stomach upset as described. However, what you describe are classic symptoms of constipation. This is normally caused by not enough water (not other beverages) a day or a high fiber diet. You should be drinking at least 8 8oz glasses of water a day especially this time of the year.
So I shouldn't worry about the lower right abdominal pain when pushed on?
With the localized pain this could be a hard stool that put pressure on the intestinal wall.
This would cause quite a bit of pain.
With this moving along you should be fine as long as you keep your water intake high to help lubricate the area.
I pooped twice since it started, wouldn't that fix it? I've been constipated before and it was nothing like this
You can also use an over the counter stool softener.
It is possible that there was stool below the area of hard stool. What can also happen is that the hard stool is not a complete blockage so softer stool pushes around the hard area causing pain and is eliminated normally.
A stool softener (bisacodyl) will cause the body to soften the stool and the bowel to create more mucus to help the hard area slide down the tract and out.
Make sure you drink plenty of water though since the medication creates the mucus and softening with lots of fluid.
Was there a reason you rated poor service?

Times to Complete Site Listing and Cleanup
T-RCED-98-74: Published: Feb 4, 1998. Publicly Released: Feb 4, 1998.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
(202) 512-4907
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
GAO discussed two of its recent reports on the pace of cleanup in the Superfund program, focusing on the: (1) time taken to evaluate hazardous waste sites for possible placement on the National Priorities List (NPL) and the time to clean them up after the listing; and (2) status of cleanup for sites listed from 1986 to 1994.
GAO noted that: (1) GAO's March 1997 report stated that the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) took an average of 9.4 years--calculated from the date of each site's discovery--to evaluate and process the nonfederal sites it added to the NPL in 1996; (2) this evaluation and processing time was generally longer than for prior years; (3) the 1986 Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA) requires EPA to evaluate nonfederal sites for listing, when warranted, within 4 years of their discovery; (4) listing decisions were made within 4 years of their discovery for 43 percent of the 8,931 nonfederal sites discovered in 1987 through 1991--the last year for which an analysis could be done at the time of GAO's review; (5) a number of factors contributed to the increased time to list a site, including a backlog of sites awaiting evaluation and a reduction in the annual number of sites being added to the NPL; (6) GAO's March report also stated that cleanup times have also lengthened for completed projects; (7) nonfederal cleanup projects completed in 1986 through 1989 were finished, on average, 3.9 years after the sites were placed on the NPL; (8) by 1996, however, nonfederal cleanup completions averaged 10.6 years; (9) although SARA did not set deadlines for completing cleanups within a certain number of years, EPA set an expectation for 1993 for its regions to complete a cleanup within 5 years of a site's listing; (10) much of the time to complete cleanups is attributable to the early planning phases of the cleanup process when the decision is made on the selection of cleanup remedies; (11) actual construction work at sites is being done quicker than the selection of cleanup remedies; (12) EPA officials attributed the increased completion times for cleanups to the growing complexity of sites, efforts to reach settlements with parties responsible for site contamination, and resource constraints; (13) GAO's September report stated that because a large portion--87 percent--of the sites listed on the NPL in fiscal years 1986 through 1994 were still in the Superfund cleanup process as of July 1, 1997, the average cleanup time for this group of listed sites will exceed 8 years, possibly by a substantial margin; (14) EPA stated that the methodology used in GAO's March 1997 report was biased in favor of showing increasing completion times and that the report was inconsistent with GAO's earlier Superfund reports; (15) it claimed to have recently speeded up the Superfund process; and (16) GAO believes that its March 1997 report fairly portrays trends in the program and is consistent with its earlier reports.

Sleep Bowmore Punch at Gallow Green
Third Degree at Gallow Green
Pimm's Other Cup at Gallow Green
There is an argument to be made that New York's best shows are staged not in theaters, but in restaurants and bars. Like the 19th-century opera audiences who trained their binoculars on each other's boxes, each night we seat ourselves en masse in darkened watering holes and restaurants to preen, size each other up and—almost as an afterthought—eat or drink something, too. So when a venue incorporates a layer of theatricality to the performance already being staged by its patrons, how do they react? That's the question raised by the dreamy, overgrown rooftop bar just south of Hell's Kitchen called Gallow Green, which sits atop a warehouse that operates as the "McKittrick Hotel" for the wildly popular interactive theater performance Sleep No More.
In the early evening, the height affords a regal view of gleaming West Side buildings and the cloud-streaked horizon. A floor of pebbles and slate, trellises woven with flowers and weathered wooden tables recall an upstate country home left adorably to seed. But as the sun descends over the Hudson and darkness encroaches, something stranger occurs. Christmas lights encircling small trees and the rafters overhead blink to life. A brass band waltzes dizzyingly through a funereal tune. An attractive waitstaff in virginal white uniforms materializes out of the shadows, while actors borrowed from the show downstairs weave in between tables, talking to guests in faux-British accents and lending the place the feel of a garden party lost in time. The overall effect, depending on your taste, is either charmingly loopy or gratingly campy.
DRINK THIS: While the menu proffers beer and wine, the selection of punches, developed by decorated drink historian David Wondrich, is what shines. The signature Sleep Bowmore Punch ($50), composed of the woody, namesake single-malt Scotch, Madeira wine and orange shrub sweetened with dememara sugar is poured tableside out of a pitcher, over frosty blocks of ice in a gorgeous copper bowl, then garnished with lemon slices and freshly grated nutmeg. The cocktails are slightly more uneven—Pimm's Other Cup ($15), a take on the classic English tipple that subs in white rum for the traditional gin, as well as lemonade, lost its luster to overdilution. And the Third Degree ($15), an otherwise well-mixed martini, was marred with a heavy-handed dose of absinthe.
GOOD FOR: A third date. The place is helplessly romantic, capturing the looseness and frivolity of a well-oiled summer wedding, but in a way that never feels saccharine (the name of the bar, after all, is borrowed from the famous Scottish field where six 17th-century "witches" were hanged and burned). Meanwhile, you can either laugh with or at the chirpy, surreal interjections of the period actors, depending—again—on your tolerance for cheeky drama.
THE CLINCHER: Sleep No More's knack for transportive set pieces reveals itself here in an abandoned antique railcar, home to the best seats in the house. While you might wonder how it got there, the real miracle is how perfectly natural it looks on a Chelsea rooftop.

Awesome rooftop with lots of green foliage, great for groups!
I went with a group of people and I wouldnt recommend because we were a little tight! but if your looking to try new food and step away from the city for a couple of hours... this is the place to go!
I finally got to go here recently after years of hearing great things. It's a rather pricey spot—cocktails are $17—but it's certainly a treat for a special night. It's like you're tucked away within a secret garden, growing over a long forgotten railroad track. The vibe, like the rest of the McKittrick Hotel, is a bit old timey, with touches of whimsy everywhere. The food itself was great—they now have new pizzas for more casual eats and the crudite bowl of vegetables was super fresh. You can make a whole night of it by heading here for earlier dinner and drinks before experiencing the mystery of Sleep No More downstairs.
One of my fav spot in all of NY. It's a secret garden tucked away from the rough & tough city streets. Old train carts used for dinning and for the bar. And a railroad track dividing the dining area from the lounge. Great date spot. Little nooks & crannies lite up my Christmas lights to get cozy & converse. Communal dinning tables makes it a great spot to grab your friends & catch up. On certain nites you can top off w/a live jazz band one floor down. A great little get away from the hustle and bustle of the city.
this place is absolutely magical. go at night—i stumbled across this fairytale rooftop with some friends visiting from out of town and vowed to come back when i wasn't a single sack because it's romantic as fuck. definitely a great date spot but like, maybe wait for the third date or something cos y'know, don't want to come on too strong. also, if you're starving, this might not be the best place to drop by since their dinner menu is small and on the pricey side. come here for after dinner drinks or after walking around the galleries in the area.
Gallow Green is a very nice rooftop bar / lounge. The drinks are great and aren't your typical rum & cokes. Railroad tracks run through the center of the space which only adds to the decor. Because drinks are made by mixologist, they can be pricey. When you leave, ask if you can take the steps. You will be given a mask and led through "Sleep No More."
What a beautiful rooftop escape! Went with a few friends and they were raving about it for days. We'll be going back soon :) Drinks are a bit pricey, but to be expected. If you are looking for a casual nice night out, with plenty of space, beautiful scenery and a view..look no further
This spot is super appealing with plenty of SPACE to actually enjoy yourself. Just like any decent place in NYC, drinks are pricey but worth it. It has different spaces and corners to sit in so it's great for dates and low key but nice nights out.
This is absolutely one of the most beautiful rooftop bars in New York City. Perhaps it's so appealing because it adapts some of that mysterious, vintage vibe from the interactive theater experience held in the building below, Sleep No More. When you're sipping a cocktail at Gallow Green, you can almost imagine that you yourself are a part of that stunning world spinning and unwinding below you. There is green foliage all around, wooden plank benches, train tracks down the middle and bartenders in suspenders. The cocktails here are really good, but they certainly are pricey at $15–$17 each, so savor them.
Gallow Green is a beautiful garden style rooftop bar. There are faux trees everywhere that are decorated with Christmas lights and sporadic wooden park benches for seating. I appreciated this place because it somewhat reminded me of décor that should be in the movie The Secret Garden. I wasn't a fan of the food options being offered. They were a bit on the pricey side and not that appealing, so I didn't eat anything, but the cocktails were good. Definitely recommend this place if you're feeling festive and just want to go to have a few drinks in a non-traditional rooftop setting while actually being on a rooftop.
Amazing and beautifully creative venue. Great view of the city.
Lovely venue with a good feel to it but the food is ordinary and the menu limited so I wouldn't recommend it if dinner is the main event. However my real reason for the downgrade is the poor service a friend and I received on a recent Friday night visit. The staff are pleasant and helpful but getting their attention in the first place is a challenge. It took 15 minutes to order the first drink and over 40 minutes to get the cheque which, when it did arrive wasn't for our table.

Want to sell your home? Get out the bucket, mop and Mr. Clean. The key to making a positive first impression is simple. Get it clean, clean, clean. If your house isn't clean, it instantly sends up negative thoughts that the home is not well maintained. If your house is spotless, you're ahead of the game.
But don't stop there. To increase your chances of making a sale, "stage" the house to make it as attractive as possible. Until recently, staging meant pulling out all the stops—setting the dining table with your best china and crystal, arranging flowers, lighting candles, Now we take the minimalist approach. Basically, you want to strip the house to its bare essentials, depersonalize it so potential buyers can superimpose themselves and their lifestyle on the house."
1. Visit model homes and look through magazines for inexpensive decorating ideas. Always keep in mind you are not decorating for yourself but for the general public.
2. Start with the outside. Give the house a fresh coat of paint, add shiny hardware to the front door and plant a few flowers to send a subliminal message the house is loved and well cared for.
3. Declutter every room to make it look larger. Get rid of family pictures, trophies and knickknacks. Closets and drawers should be no more than 30% full.
4. Invest in eco-friendly but bright lights. Open the drapes or remove them completely. "Light, bright rooms give the impression this is a happy place—and everyone wants to move into a happy place.
5. Feature only a few pieces of furniture with mainstream appeal. Pull pieces away from walls to make rooms look bigger.
6. Make sure a room's primary use is obvious. A bedroom should look like a bedroom, not an office, hobby center or gym.
7. Bedrooms and kitchens are difficult to stage because they are in daily use, but make the effort. Clear everything off the counters and nightstands, roll up the rugs and hide the laundry hamper. Buff the cabinets with car wax and clean under the sinks. Invest in pristine white bed linens and towels.
8. Minimize the "pet effect." Remove food bowls and litter boxes to the utility room. Deodorize thoroughly.
9. Organize the utility room and garage. Hang up the bicycles, roll up the hose. Renting a storage locker is worth the cost if it helps you sell faster and for a higher price.
10. Once your house is staged, invite your friends or Realtor over and walk them through to get an objective opinion.

Refshauge clears the way
Page Tools
While Bob Carr's resignation left the only voluntary cabinet vacancy, Morris Iemma might have got away with arguing that too little wiggle room prevented a shake-up of ministerial portfolios and personnel. The argument would have held little water but the arithmetic looked supportive. That Andrew Refshauge, Carr's loyal deputy for all of the latter's record 17 years as Labor leader, has recognised the writing on the wall and decided to follow Mr Carr, shows up his defence of inertia as hollow. Mr Iemma decided Dr Refshauge could stay in the ministry, but not as Deputy Premier. Despite broad portfolio experience, Dr Refshauge was ill-equipped for the Treasury because it demands indifference to public acclaim.
The Refshauge retirement does more than double the number of vacancies. It symbolises a changing of the guard: out with the old, in with the new. The opportunity to push changes further by stepping on the toes of under-performers should not be delayed. Self-interest alone should demand it. Mr Iemma made a better job than many expected of his news conference yesterday. He demonstrated humour, commitment, forethought and a self-effacing nature. But he will be on a steep learning curve for at least some months, particularly now that he has bucked contemporary NSW convention and joined Queensland's Peter Beattie in attaching the Treasury to his premiership. He will be in no position to match Mr Carr's shepherding of struggling ministerial colleagues. Sores will be more exposed by Mr Carr's absence. Ministers who have shown persistent ineptitude should make way now for replacements with at least half a chance.
To his credit, and perhaps to his advantage, Mr Iemma acknowledges he is no Bob Carr. They are men of different backgrounds, and of different cultural tastes. Mr Iemma prefers footy to opera, suburban barbecues to art exhibitions. He suggested yesterday that he came to the premiership with a reasonable sense of what the job entailed. "I'm a practical man in search of workable solutions to achieve real reform." And that means identifying and removing problems and blockages. He knows these things because he gave them a shot as health minister. His approach was to pinpoint problems within and address them in an appropriate sequence so that resources and emphasis end up where most needed. A similar regime will need to be effective in transport - "my highest priority" - if commuters are to get durable relief. His abandonment of the property investment vendor tax was a smart start because it was harming NSW growth. But it was an easy decision.
Like the rest of Sydney, Mr Iemma reflects nostalgically on the Olympics, suggesting that many of the city's infrastructure shortcomings can be overcome by replicating the can-do attitude of that time. Certainly, an emphasis on what will be done, rather than why it cannot, would be refreshing. The state's post-2000 history, however, is pockmarked with references to herculean Olympic achievements, with little to show for their repetition. Morris Iemma has a chance to change that. Rather than being a liability, his relative obscurity makes him a blank canvas, less fettered by cronyism, favours and history.
A bad case of box-office blues
Technology likes to play both hero and villain, especially in the movies. Technically, movies are bigger and better than ever, yet easier than ever to watch at home. Once more, cinemas are closing their doors. Is this the end of the movie theatre? Well, we've heard that kind of talk before. It was wrong then, too.
Once, technology was unambiguously the saviour of the movie houses. Admittedly, that was in 1928, when "talkies" were cutting edge. Almost 200 million cinema tickets were sold in Australia in that year. The record has never been bettered, though Australia's population then was just 6.3 million. The introduction of television almost half a century ago looked like it might be fatal for picture theatres. However, local cinemas picked themselves up, declaring it just a flesh wound. They also shrugged off colour TV in 1975, and videos a few years later. Since then, annual ticket sales have climbed back towards the 100 million mark.
Now the gloom is back. Ticket sales in Australia were down 14 per cent in the first six months of 2005. The first half of the year in the United States has been just as grim. Blockbusters are fizzers. Big movie houses are cutting prices. Small movie houses are taking even more drastic measures; the Valhalla art-house cinema in Glebe closes it doors tonight, and the outlook for the Chauvel in Paddington is uncertain while the Australian Film Institute ponders its viability. What is to blame? Certainly, the ubiquitous DVD, plus bigger, brighter, wider TVs with surround sound, not to mention competition from other media.
It is sad to see a Sydney institution such as the Valhalla close its doors. But the demise of one cinema is not a death knell for the art-house-style movie theatre. The Dendy chain, for example, says its business is flourishing. Significantly, the Dendy operation, like other successful limited-release cinemas, has multi-screen complexes. It allows exhibitors to hedge their bets with a mix of movies. Art-house cinemas will survive, but not with just one screen or even two, like the Valhalla. In the meantime, the immediate problem for mainstream movie houses seems to be a lack of appeal among recent releases rather than any long-term drift from cinemas. The exhibitors' destiny is more in the hands of the Hollywood studios - and the movies they choose to make - than their own. Local exhibitors just have to hope Hollywood remembers to deliver the happy ending.

Wow, not sure why I wasn't getting any email notifications about this thread, thought everyone was just snoozing. Sheesh, I missed like 4 pages of stuff!
So to catch up...
The uppipe requiring loosening the engine mount is due to the factory EGT making it extremely difficult to remove the OEM pipe. I loosened mine and jacked the engine up about an inch, and the pipe just dropped out (almost on my face). Haven't ever had to do it with any aftermarket pipes.
The blue 2.5RST might be Lars. I've seen Ian around Ashland a lot lately. I think Lars was living in Hood River, not sure what he's up to now. Ian's car is turbo'd now too.
Bo, how'd the install go? Sorry I missed your call, my wife and I were buying a new dining room table/chairs and I had my hands full at the time. I've got a fix for your "deteriorating cats" - remove them!
So it sounds like we've got some newbies lurkin, maybe it's time for another meet?

For Every $100 in Fraudulent Transactions, Retailers Incurred $310 in Total Losses
New York, NY (September 28, 2010) – Retail merchants incurred more than $139 billion in fraud losses during the past year, according to a new study released by LexisNexis Risk Solutions®. The study revealed that for every $100 in fraudulent transactions, retailers incurred a "true" cost of $310 in total losses, including costs associated with replacing lost or stolen merchandise. Additionally, the study found that consumer victims of retail fraud incurred $5.5 billion in costs stemming from un-reimbursed losses, legal fees and other factors.
The 2nd annual LexisNexis® True Cost of Fraud Study, conducted by Javelin Strategy & Research, examines how U.S. retail fraud affects merchants, financial institutions and consumers. While the study demonstrated that fraud is more than a $100 billion problem for retail merchants, fraud losses decreased by 25 percent from 2009. The reduction may be attributed to a gradual improvement in economic conditions, greater awareness of fraud threats and increased success of effective fraud prevention solutions.
In addition to the total cost of fraud to retail merchants and consumers, the study found that:
"Fraud continues to be a $100 billion problem for retail merchants," said Jim Rice, director of Market Planning for Retail and E-Commerce Markets, LexisNexis Risk Solutions. "While the total cost of fraud has gone down since last year, retailers still lose more than three dollars for every one dollar lost due to a fraudulent transaction, and online or mobile fraud is a growing threat."
The study was conducted by surveying a retail merchant panel comprising 1,006 risk and fraud decision-makers and influencers. The merchant panel includes individuals from companies of all sizes, industry segments, channels and payment methods. The study also draws on identity fraud victim data from a telephone interview survey of more than 5,000 U.S. adults including 828 fraud victims. The full report is available at http://www.lexisnexis.com/risk/2010RetailFraudStudy.

Which Jo(h)nson Is It?…Eliot Doesn't Know
A letter written by T.S. Eliot has surfaced after 40 years of obscurity, according to this news item from the BBC. The letter was a addressed to Jacob Isaacs and concerned the republication of Eliot's 1927 essay "Shakespeare and the Stoicism of Seneca."
[Eliot's essay] examined how the popularity of the Greek writer's tragedies in Elizabethan England influenced Shakespeare's writing – and was due to be republished in 1957, prompting Eliot to contact his friend.
He asked Isaacs if he could "throw any light" on the identity of Webster, who was referred to in the essay, but Eliot was unable to remember.
The letter conveys further confusion on behalf of the writer: "Incidentally, I do not even remember whether I meant Sam Johnson or Ben Jonson. It is Jonson in my text, but is this a misprint? No one will ever know."
The letter was typed on Faber and Faber headed paper, indicating it was written at the publishing house where Eliot was employed as editor.
It was part of a collection donated to Queen Mary by Isaacs' wife upon his death in 1973.
We don't have that essay in our archives, but you can read some scholarship by Eliot here and here. Hope that makes your day.

Eco-Friendly T-Shirts Turn Aid Into Sustainable Charity
Project Repat is working with artisans from Kenya to turn used clothing into profits for NGOs and sustainable business for locals.
In the United States, 95% of shirts that are donated to places like Goodwill and the Salvation Army are not actually sold for resale, but sold for incredibly cheap prices and then shipped to developing countries where they are put back on the markets. Inspired by the latest fashion trends in Nairobi, the founders of Project Repat saw this system as an opportunity support local artisans and NGOs.
How does it work? The t-shirts are purchased on the local markets in countries like Kenya, where Project Repat commissions local artisans to take the recycled shirts and make them into new t-shirts, scarves, skirts, and bags. The resized, refashioned apparel is then shipped back to the United States and sold, with all profits going to the people in Africa who make them and to local NGOs.
Each t-shirt has a stamp on it indicating where it was purchased and when it was brought back to the United States. They also come with a card that explains the specific NGO projects that the money used to buy them supports. Each t-shirt is made from 3 original ones., and each is unique and authentic.
The organization is completely run by volunteers and their website provides answers to questions like which NGOs are being supported, how green the project is, and the effect of the project on the local markets.
