With apologies for the short turnaround on this.
Please read the attached letter that will be sent to members of the Senate
Appropriations Committee.
The letter is asking for an increase in the President's Fiscal Year 2015
proposed budget for the Missouri River Recovery Program (MRRP).
The proposed 2015 MRRP budget is the lowest it has been in years, at a time when
more, not less, needs to be done for the recovery of endangered and other native
species. These species are declining due to the Army Corps of Engineers'
current operation of the river.
Please email me email@example.com if your group or
organization will sign on to this letter by 5 PM CT Monday, May 5th.
The letter needs to be submitted by Wednesday, May 7th.
Thank you.
RE: 2015 Funding for the Missouri River Recovery Program
Dear Senator,
We the undersigned groups urge your support of an increase in the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' budget request from $48,771,000 in fiscal year (FY) 2015 to the Corps' capability level of $70 million for the Missouri River Recovery Program (MRRP).
The requested amount of $48,771,000 would be the smallest MRRP budget in years, at a time when more, not less, funding is needed. The MRRP is the largest restoration effort on our nation's longest river. The Missouri River basin encompasses 530,000 square miles and covers part or all of ten states.Increased funding for the MRRP is urgently needed and warranted to recover and restore critical aquatic and terrestrial habitats. Increasing funding in the MRRP will not only recover the river but also enhance flood control, increase job creation, improve economic growth, and advance recreational opportunities for families throughout the basin.
The Corps' capability of $70 million for the MRRP in FY 2015 reflects the nation's priorities for investments that fund development, management, restoration, as well as needed protection of our invaluable water and related resources. An increase in MRRP funding to this level will continue successful projects such as the Schilling Wildlife Management Area and the Cooper Nuclear Power Station in Nebraska, Hamburg Bend in Iowa, and the Gunderson Backwater Project in South Dakota.These projects demonstrate that MRRP efforts can achieve the goals of restoring habitat while the river's authorized purposes continue.
Restoration efforts have triggered huge job growth in other areas of the country. Similar economic impact can occur throughout the Missouri River Basin if the funding for the MRRP is increased and the restoration efforts move forward.
An average of $2 billion in benefits occurs annually from the Corps' current operation of the Missouri River. The MRRP is designed to address requirements for the loss of habitat from the day to day operation for the eight authorized purposes as required in the Biological Opinion, the Water Resource Development Acts of 1986, 1999, and 2007 and the 1958 Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act.
Missouri River restoration will provide long-term economic and environmental benefits and improve opportunities for more families to enjoy the Missouri River. We respectfully ask for your support for funding the full $70 million capability for the Missouri River Recovery Program in the FY 15 budget.
We also urge you to oppose any provision that restricts future funding for the Missouri River Ecosystem Restoration Plan (MRERP) and the Missouri River Authorized Purposes Study (MRAPS).
The MRERP is needed to complete the restoration of one of America's greatest rivers with crucial involvement of stakeholders and local government entities.
The MRAPS was started and needs to be completed so, for the first time since passage of the 1944 Flood Control Act, the people of the basin will be able to help determine the current and future needs of the Missouri River instead of what was envisioned seven decades ago.
We sincerely thank you for your time and consideration.

It's only my third day of treatment, but I wanted to echo some of the thoughts in other reviews about the initial surprise.
First, Invisalign is more noticeable than I expected. If you don't really look at my teeth, and are standing some distance away, then you wouldn't notice (unlike metal braces). However, if you do look, well the attachments are visible (kind of strange looking and jagged) lumps on my teeth and the clear tray tends to fill with saliva and have little air bubbles in it, particularly around the attachment lumps, and is visible. It generally looks like braces lite, but clearly something orthodontic is happening. Invisalign is not something to do immediately before a big event, such as a conference where you plan to present or meet many new people, a time when you are about to start dating again after a long time away, or a much anticipated vacation. Choose a time when you are ok with getting used to having something on your teeth.
Second, it does hurt. "Pressure" doesn't fully capture it. It's not that different from braces in this aspect.
Third, at the beginning they are hard to remove, and very inconvenient. Lunchtime at work is suddenly complicated. It's embarrassing to pull them out in the bathroom at work because there is a lot of saliva that trails out with the trays. On the plus side, it does help you go on a diet. Snacking is far less appealing.
Finally, the lisp is embarrassing, especially at work. You might feel the need to explain it to people as you suddenly sound like an 8 year old. You might need to take them out when you have a big meeting or phone call. They say this will get better over the first week, we'll see but I really hope so.
The number one surprise to me were the attachments. I had no idea what they would look and feel like, and had only anticipated the clear retainer like tray, which is all my orthodontist showed me. In reality, the attachments account for about 50% of the discomfort and embarrassment, and you never see them or hear much about them ahead of time.
So the message is: yes, I think it will be worth it if the projectes results are obtained, yes it is likely the best option, however it is NOT as invisible and non-invasive as they say. It's a lot more like having braces than I expected.

The Woodburn Memorial Transit Facility is nearing completion; all were waiting on are the pavilions and the electric vehicle charging station.
But now were going to have to wait longer than that, because the Woodburn City Council tabled the agreement with the charging station company last Monday night. Their reasoning: They felt they were getting the raw end of the deal, having to pay the electric bill, which could be anywhere from $500 to $3,500.
Im somewhat baffled by the councils reasoning on this. Wasnt this in the January 2013 agreement that councilors signed off on?
If you know me, you would probably know I have a personal interest in this situation because I drive an electric car. So yes, this would directly benefit me.
But those dont stop with the electric vehicle driver. There are other benefits the city council obviously didnt consider. When someone stops to charge their vehicle, they often will patronize local businesses nearby while their car charges. These are often folks who wouldnt have stopped in our city otherwise. But while theyre here, theyll grab a bite to eat or do a little shopping. Do you really want to turn away commerce from the city because of 500 bucks?
This also benefits people who live and work in the city. There isnt another fast-charging level III station on the east side of Interstate 5. If councilors are so concerned about their constituents, why doesnt that extend to constituents who drive electric vehicles?
Does Woodburn not want to be seen as a green city? No, I dont mean left-wing, Communist-thinking hippies, but with all the pavement in this city and the number of gas-guzzling vehicles traveling through, why not lessen the burden on the environment by encouraging electric vehicles to come through?
I know, youre thinking, Well, youre just saying that because you have an electric vehicle. And maybe I am. But having an electric vehicle has allowed me to see how the other half lives, so to speak. Its a cost savings to me, personally, to have an electric car, but its kind of inconvenient having an electric car and nowhere to plug in between Woodburn and Canby along the 99E corridor (Canby only has one level II charging station). I cant plug in at home, either, as we have only street parking.
So yes, Im disappointed, because I was looking forward to be able to park my car there and go get lunch at Dennys, or go get my hair cut at one of the salons in the Fairway Plaza or pick up toiletries at Walgreens.
I just urge the councilors to talk to EV owners I know Im not the only one. If you dont want to make it happen at the transit center, theyre just going to take it to another city, and that city will benefit from the extra commerce and extra positive traffic (positive because its emission free!).
The bone of contention is that the city will pay $500 to $3,500 more a year. How is that a significant amount in the scheme of running a city? I would guess the amount would be on the lower end, as there are other EV chargers in the city and surrounding areas, so not all electric vehicles will stop there.
I think councilors are looking at it all wrong AeroVironment and ODOT are taking care of all the costs to the installation and setup. All you have to do it pay an electric bill. Which you already pay anyway. Why not look at it as a glass half full situation instead of it being such a burden?
I sincerely hope that City Council rethinks its position on the electric vehicle chargers. Not only does it support people like me in the present, but its just one of many forward-thinking things the city can do to move us into the future.

Robredo ends Djokovic bid for elusive Cincinnati title
(Reuters) - Spain's Tommy Robredo shocked world number one Novak Djokovic 7-6(6) 7-5 on Thursday to move into the quarter-finals of the Western and Southern Open in Cincinnati.
For the 16th seeded Robredo the victory was his first over Djokovic since their first meeting in 2005, the Serb sweeping their next six meetings.
The loss brought a temporary halt to Djokovic's bid to become the first player to win all nine ATP World Tour Masters events during his career.
It was also another setback in the Serb's buildup to U.S. Open later this month after falling to Frenchman Jo-Wilfried Tsonga in the third round of the Rogers Cup last week in Toronto.
"Many, many, many things are not clicking these two weeks on hard courts," said Djokovic. "It's unfortunate but it's more than obvious I'm not playing even close to what I'm supposed to play.
"I have to keep on working and trying to get better for U.S. Open.
"I just don't feel comfortable.
"It's disappointing that I'm finishing Cincinnati again with a tough loss but it's sport. I didn't play well in Toronto; didn't play well here.
"Hopefully it's going to be different in New York." Continued...

Fabrication of a stable mandibular denture begins with careful diagnosis and case planning. Listening to the patient's concerns and desires will make the final prosthesis acceptable.
This article will describe a case involving a 67-year-old female who was being treated with oral medications for osteoporosis and who admitted being anxious. She had undergone breast cancer treatment without radiation or chemotherapy and was a half-pack-per-day smoker. Her chief complaint was that her dental prostheses did not fit properly, and she was told that she had a serious caries problem. She was unhappy with the aesthetics of the preoperative, conventional complete denture, feeling that too much pink gingiva was showing. There was also a chronic need for adhesive. The patient wanted her teeth to look more natural and fit better, in that order.
The patient presented with an ill-fitting conventional maxillary complete denture and a mandibular removable partial denture over atrophic posterior mandibular bone. Splinted crowns from right to left mandibular cuspid retained the partial denture. Unfortunately, decay had progressed, making the abutment crowns mobile, resulting in less stability of the mandibular appliance. The prognosis of these teeth was poor. The patient was concerned with her ability to maintain the existing teeth and keep up good oral hygiene.
Several options were discussed with the patient, including root canal therapy, crown lengthening, post and core fabrication, and splinted crowns, in the attempt to maintain the mandibular abutment teeth as support for a precision mandibular partial denture. After deliberation, it was determined that the remaining root structures were not adequate to act as strong abutments.
Because of the severe atrophy in the posterior mandible and the limited amount of height and width of bone in the symphysis area, it was decided to restore the patient's mandibular arch using the Straumann Dental Implant System (Straumann). The first Straumann implant was introduced in 1974. It provides an 8º Morse Taper internal connection. The flared-neck implant design used here is ideal for soft-tissue contouring.
Figure 1. Unaesthetic maxillary complete denture opposing faulty anterior crowns acting as abutments for a conventional removable partial denture.
|Figures 2 to 4. Excessive vertical closure creates a narrow lip line and unbalanced aesthetics.
Figures 1 to 4 illustrate the closed vertical dimension of occlusion, resulting in improper lip support and a poor frontal and lateral aesthetic profile. The patient's decrease in function may be due to the poor tooth position and plane of occlusion. Without posterior support her quality of life was dramatically reduced. Figure 5 shows the remaining abutment teeth, which had decayed dramatically. The splinted crowns were easily removed, leaving root structures (Figure 6) with a poor prognosis.
To achieve the best functional and aesthetic result and increase stability of any prosthesis, it was decided simply to extract the remaining root structures and immediately surgically place 3 Straumann dental implants in the Nos. 22, 24, and 26 areas. The mental foramen area was evaluated, and the implants were placed anteriorly in the symphysis to avoid potential paresthesia of the atrophic bone.
Figure 5. Poor plane of occlusion results in instability of the appliances.
Figure 6. Gross decay of the remaining natural abutments made these teeth unrestorable.
An initial marking of the implant site, following the extractions, was done with a 3.0-mm round bur. A simple surgical stent was fabricated using a cast of the patient's original prosthesis to help guide the bur to the proper angulation and position. It was imperative that the implants be placed parallel to each other along the long axis of the bone. Retraction of soft tissue revealed adequate ridge height in the symphysis area and width for placement of 3 Straumann Standard Plus Regular Neck 3.3-mm x 10-mm implants.
Prior to any surgical intervention, the main risks were discussed in detail with the patient. These included potential for nerve damage or paresthesia. Reasons for implant failure were also discussed, including her smoking habit during initial integration of the implants, neglect, denture adhesive use, and stresses on the surgical site as the result of any transitional appliance fabrication.
Temporization would prove to be a challenge in this case. It was determined that the forces of a denture would need to be reduced during the healing phase. The patient's original partial denture was relined and the existing splinted crowns added to the RPD, creating a denture with little or no contact with the anterior tissue. A resilient soft liner COE-SOFT (GC America) was used in the anterior area under the splinted crowns attached to the patient's old removable appliance.
The preparation of the osteotomy began with a 2.2-mm pilot drill. The initial drill depth was 10 mm. Implant site preparation continued with a 2.8-mm pilot drill to the 10-mm depth. A bone tap was used to create the thread pattern of the implant into the bone. The bone in this area can be dense and difficult to drill into. Each preparation was made parallel to the next using guiding pins. Straumann Standard Plus 3.3-mm x 10-mm implants with sand-blasted large-grit acid-etch surfaces were placed and ratcheted into position. The shoulder of the implant was left slightly coronal to the crestal bone to allow for easy access; 1.5-mm tall closure screws were placed into each implant, and the area was sutured using Vicryl (Ethicon).
Following 3 months of integration and periodic changing of the resilient liner, a closed custom-tray impression of the implants was made using the Straumann impression cap and synOcta positioning cylinders. A master impression was sent to the lab to have the proper analogs placed into the impression for a master model pour. The master cast was poured, duplicating all peripheral borders. A bite registration was used to position the casts. Teeth were positioned to aesthetics and function.
Figures 7 and 8. Three parallel Straumann dental implants anchor the Locator attachments.
Figures 9 and 10. The male portion of the Locator attachments provides outstanding retention and stability.
The Locator (Zest Anchors) attachments are intended to act as retentive devices for overdentures. Because of their design, the patient is able to align and seat the overdentures easily. It is important, however, that the implants be placed in a parallel position to each other to simplify the prosthetic construction (Figures 7 and 8). According to the manufacturer, the attachments resist wear and maintain satisfactory retention for up to 56,000 cycles of function. It is a nice system to use where occlusal clearance is a problem, since it is only 3.17 mm in total height. The male portions can be easily changed chairside, with minimal inconvenience to the patient. The Locators come in a variety of retentions from extra light (blue) to heavy (clear). In this case the average-retention orange attachment was used (Figures 9 and 10).
Figure 11. Panoramic radiographs of Straumann implants in position. Note the excessive atrophy of the posterior mandibular bone.
This type of prosthesis allowed for excellent retention and stability for this patient. The Locator attachments were positioned extracoronally to allow for good tissue adaptation and easy maintenance with a simple toothbrush or endtuft brush. If manual dexterity becomes a concern, the implants can be maintained at home using a wash rag or cotton applicators. Follow-up care includes clinical assessment for abutment stability, mobility of the implants, and plaque accumulation. Since the perimucosal seal is vital to protect the underlying connective tissue, probing a healthy implant is not advised.
Radiographs are taken annually to determine bone position and contour (Figure 11). Metal scalers and ultrasonic instruments may scar and pit the titanium abutment surface; therefore, plastic, gold, or graphite scalers should be used as necessary.
Figures 12 to 15. The completed conventional maxillary complete denture opposing an implant-retained overdenture is aesthetic and functional.
This patient exhibited a positive end result because of her understanding of the limiting factors involved in this case and the final prosthesis (Figures 12 to 15). She is, however, able to chew more efficiently and speak clearly without worry of the prosthesis loosening or any of the abutments decaying.

|Shogren, Randal
Submitted to: Starch
Publication Type: Peer Reviewed Journal
Publication Acceptance Date: 5/6/2009
Publication Date: 10/22/2009
Citation: Shogren, R.L. Estimation of the Intrinsic Birefringence of the A, B and V Crystalline Forms of Amylose. Starch. 61(1):578-581. Interpretive Summary: This research has increased scientific knowledge of how properties of corn starch based fibers and films can be predicted and measured. When corn starch films are stretched, the starch molecules become oriented in one direction and strength and flexibility improve markedly. However, it is currently difficult to measure exactly how much the starch molecules have been oriented. In this research, the refractive index of a fully oriented starch was calculated. This enables the measurement of orientation for real starch films and fibers and the ability to determine if a test process is achieving optimal improvement in the film. This information will benefit researchers who are involved in making improved starch based materials for applications in areas such as biodegradable packaging, personal hygiene, biodegradable packaging, sutures, medical implants, and responsive "smart" materials.
Technical Abstract: Optical birefringence (Delta n) for A, B, Va, Vh amylose crystals were calculated by vector summation of bond polarizabilities. Orientation of the O-H bond vectors in these amylose crystals is not well understood so results are given for likely O-H conformers. For B amylose, Delta n ranges from 0.043-0.058 with Delta n = 0.048 for O-H conformations considered likely from previous molecular modeling studies. This is slightly higher than experimental values of 0.031-0.037 determined previously for highly oriented amylose films. Predicted values of Delta n for A amylose were similar to B amylose while Delta n for V amyloses were smaller (-0.04-0.0). These estimates of the intrinsic birefringence of amylose crystals should be helpful in estimating the degree of orientation for starch films and fibers processed by a variety of methods.

Ship the slide to Kahr shop or find a local competent gunsmith. Good luck.
I got some nice fiber optic three dot sights to replace the factory sights on my Kahr, and I decided to try and swap them myself.
I heard that Kahr sights are too tight to just tap out with a hammer and punch, so I took the slide to the machine shop where I work, and spent my lunch hour working on it.
I took some measurements with calipers, milled up some soft vice jaws out of Lexan scrap, and turned a brass punch. I c-clamped everything in place on a work bench, and went at it with a 1 ton arbor press. My punch buckled, and I ended up knocking the blade off the front sight.
At this point, the only idea I have left is to cut the factory sights out with a Dremel and a file.
Before I get that destructive, does anyone have any suggestions?
Ship the slide to Kahr shop or find a local competent gunsmith. Good luck.
You're right.
I got impatient about this and I've been thinking in terms of 1 hour solutions.
I could take the time to mill them out properly, but for the time and effort that would go into that, I would be better off just sending it back to Kahr.
Anyone know what kind of turn around I can expect?
Yes, definetely ship the slide with your sights into Kahr for them to install. If you do decide to take it to a local gunsmith, make absolutely sure he's done work on a Kahr pistol before and take pictures of your slide before you drop it off with him in case he damages your slide in the process. I'm speaking from experience. I took my slide to a local gunsmith to get some Trijicons installed and my slide was damaged in the process. He had to send it off to Kahr to get refinished. Just save yourself the hassle and do it right the first time. Good luck and post pics when you get them installed. This forum could use the activity.
Oh, and turn around time for my slide was about 4 weeks or so.
Yes, as others have stated, I have seen pics of butchered Kahr slides - even from gunsmiths. I would recommend sending it in, which is what should have been the 1st step.

FTC Mail or Telephone Order Merchandise Rule.
It applies to mail, telephone or internet orders...
The crux of the ruling:
I'm just throwing this out there for those of you that may think somehow this is par for the course. I hate this type of problem and I hope you can all resolve it some other way without having to resort to using the Feds.Quote:
What is the Mail or Telephone Order Rule?
The Rule requires that when you advertise merchandise, you must have a reasonable basis for stating or implying that you can ship within a certain time. If you make no shipment statement, you must have a reasonable basis for believing that you can ship within 30 days. That is why direct marketers sometimes call this the "30-day Rule."
If, after taking the customers order, you learn that you cannot ship within the time you stated or within 30 days, you must seek the customers consent to the delayed shipment. If you cannot obtain the customers consent to the delay -- either because it is not a situation in which you are permitted to treat the customers silence as consent and the customer has not expressly consented to the delay, or because the customer has expressly refused to consent -- you must, without being asked, promptly refund all the money the customer paid you for the unshipped merchandise.
Good luck whatever you do.

Short and simple arguments for why climate can be predicted
I may continue with in a hand-wavy manner: In a similar fashion as seasonal and geographical effects, changes in Earth's orbit around the Sun alters the planetary climate by modifying the amount of energy received from our star (but because of terrestrial response, the atmospheric composition is modified as well, enhancing the effect even further), and changes in the atmospheric composition affects the climate because grenhouse gases absorb heat that otherwise would escape into space – greenhouse gases are transparent to sunlight, but opaque to infrared light due to their molecular properties and their ability to absorb energy (if I say it's quantum physics, people tend to understand it's getting a bit technical). I stress that the greenhouse effect is also beyond doubt – without it, the energy balance between total energy Earth intercepts from the Sun and the energy lost through black body radiation implies that Earth's surface on average would be about 30K cooler than we know it. Volcanoes also affect our climate, and we have theories explaining why. Furthermore, looking to other planets, the observation that Venus has higher surface temperature than Mercury, despite being further away from the Sun, can only be explained as a result of different absorbing properties of their respective atmospheres (a strong greenhouse effect at Venus).
So, my question is, do you think people get the message that I try to convey this way? Is it too simple or too complicated? Somebody who knows of every-day examples demonstrating the central principles? Any suggestions on how to explain for laypersons not connected to the Internet?

While head coach Dwane Casey saw things he liked in the Toronto Raptors' first preseason game, he made it a top priority to focus on the thing he seriously disliked: a troubling number of turnovers.
The Raptors were back practising at the Air Canada Centre Tuesday, following Monday's game in Boston, where they beat the Celtics 97-89, despite tallying an alarming 26 turnovers (Boston had 14).
While the coach was pleased with his team's defence, the hustle plays, chemistry among his starting five and the contributions off the bench from Tyler Hansbrough and Terrence Ross, his message was clear.
"We are a little rusty offensively; defensively, we were pretty good; but we have to get those turnovers down, probably in half would be my goal," said Casey, noting he liked the cohesion his starters showed together on the floor, yet they had at least three turnovers each. "The 26 turnovers take away from the encouraging momentum."
"It was the first game, it's not going to be perfect, but we'll definitely be more conscious of it the next game," said Ross, entering his second NBA season. "It's just going in and realizing we have to be more secure with the basketball. I don't think we'll see turnovers anywhere near that again."
The contributions from Ross (the eighth-overall pick in the 2012 draft by Toronto) and Hansbrough (13th overall in 2009 by the Indiana Pacers) showed positive signs for the team's depth. More importantly, Casey is impressed with the intense work ethic Hansbrough brought with him after signing as a free agent in the off-season. The coach hopes it rubs off on others.
"He's a relentless competitor. If you don't compete against him in practice, you're going to get embarrassed," Casey said. "He raises the level of intensity in practice when he keeps coming at you.
"Sometimes, life is too hard and guys don't want to fight that relentless when it's coming at you, and they give in. He plays at a playoff level every possession and that's what you have to do."
Casey says he doesn't mind the kind of fouls that are born out of hard-working play, but wants to limit "cheap fouls" – like a few committed by second-year big man Jonas Valanciunas on Monday.
Valanciunas had 10 points and 10 rebounds – continuing his strong play from the Las Vegas summer league – yet he fouled out of the game. Casey wants to see the seven-foot, 240-pound Lithuanian avoid controllable fouls (such as those committed when he lands after a jump near the basket).
Casey also wants to see his players brush up on the ability to recognize three-point opportunities, something they didn't do well Monday.
The coach was asked if the Raptors used to have a reputation around the NBA for being a "soft" opponent over the years, and if so, whether that notion has shifted.
"That's what we're working on: a winning mentality, a kick-your-butt mentality, because that's what wins in the playoffs," Casey said. "If that is the reputation we have, we want to get rid of it damn quickly."Report Typo/Error

Can anyone give me the dimensions of the rubber strip used for the barrel fins/lightsaber grip?
I have found diagrams for length/ layout here on the forum, but what I am looking for is the width, height and thicknesses of the blades themselves.
I'm going to make my own rather than buy by the foot from Australia or the US which seem to be my only choices, and I have a deadline (so can't wait for postage from AUS or US).
Cheers guys.

April 26, 2014
Site: San Diego, Calif. (Triton Stadium)
Event: UCSD Triton Invitational
U-M Team Result: No Team Scoring
Next U-M Event: Saturday, May 3 -- at Indiana Billy Hayes Invitational (Bloomington, Ind.), 11 a.m.
SAN DIEGO, Calif. -- The University of Michigan men's track and field team competed in the UCSD Triton Invitational held Saturday (April 26), collecting top-three finishers in the shot put, long jump and high jump and a fifth-place showing in the hammer throw at Triton Stadium.
Junior/sophomore Derek Sievers (Byron Center, Mich./Byron Center) and senior/junior Justin Gaumer (Holly, Mich./Holly) placed second and third, respectively, in the shot put behind winner Igor Liokumovich of Harvard (17.76m). Sievers pushed the steel ball 17.52 meters (57-05.75 feet), while Gaumer set a personal best with a push of 17.38 meters (57-00.25 feet). Both Wolverines had their best tosses of the day on their third attempt of the competition.
Senior/junior Patrick Cochran (Erie, Pa./McDowell) placed third in the long jump with a leap of 7.52 meters (24-08.25 feet), finishing behind winner Ted Hooper from UC Riverside (7.67m) and Central Arizona's Travonn White (7.60m). Cochran's jump was just less than an inch shy of his personal best set last month.
In the high jump, fifth-year senior Bradley James (East Lansing, Mich./Haslett) cleared 2.11 meters (6-11.00 feet) to get third place, while fifth-year senior Ethan Dennis (Grand Rapids, Mich./Grandville) finished fifth in the hammer throw with a toss of 62.98 meters (206-07 feet). Dennis had his fifth-place throw on his third attempt of the day. The only collegiate competitor to finish ahead of Dennis was Wisconsin's Michael Lihrman (65.39m).
On the track, senior Erick Gavin (Chicago Heights, Ill./Marian Catholic) ran a time of 14.30 seconds to place fourth in the 110-meter hurdles. His time was second fastest among collegiate competitors and.17 seconds shy of her personal best set in April 2013.
U-M will next participate in the Indiana Billy Hayes Invitational on Saturday, May 3, in Bloomington, Ind. The meet will start at 11 a.m.
Sophomore/freshman Chris Maye (10.98 seconds) and junior/sophomore Codie Nolan (11.00) finished ninth and 10th, respectively, in the 100-meter dash out of 49 competitors. The duo also finished in the top 10 of the 200m dash, with Nolan placing seventh (22.07) and Maye earning 10th (22.21).

Is it absolutely necessary to have a dehumidifier in an encapsulated crawl space?
Is it absolutely necessary to have a dehumidifier in an encapsulated crawl space? My crawlspace is about 1300 s.f. and 12-16" high throughout. One contractor told me a dehumidifier would be unnecessary because there would be plenty of ventilation through the floor and the crawl space wasn't large enough (volume). What do you think?
How many vents are down there to the exterior?
By encapsulated, do you mean that there is no ventilation?
Depends, is there a 6 mil. plastic vaper barrier on the ground?
How may and what style vents.
Is the grade lower then the outside grade.
Do you have gutters. a grade outside the runs away from the foundation not toward the house, no mulch piled up again the foundation and no flower beds forming ponds for water to lay in up again the foundation?
Who is the contractor to say whether you need a dehumidifier or not. After all he has done his job and would not reveal any problems that might appear. You better consult but someone who can give you expert and impartial advice.
Vents will be closed up with foam.
The grade inside the crawlspace is a little higher than outside.
No gutters.
Soil is extremely porous/permeable. It's sand pretty much. Never any standing water around house. Underneath house is always very dry.
It should be vented.
Is there a reason why you want to close it up?
What is to be gained from closing it off?
If it ain't broke...
I'm having a hard time getting my head around doing this preventatively when it sounds as though you already have conditions that would inhibit mold growth.
What's energy efficient about running a compressor 24x7?
I may be missing some critical factor from your OP but I don't get it.
Sorry if that sounds snippy, I just want to understand the process that led you to this point.
Can we start with where are you located?
for those interested I have a link you might like to check out http://www.buildingscience.com/docum...%20VENTILATION
it is an article by Joseph Lstiburek of Building Science Corporation entitled "The Top 10 Dumb Things To Do In The South." Dr. Lstiburek is a leading scientist that studies building construction and the effects of the environment on them. Just google his name and you'll come up tons of posting, has some really enjoyable YouTube videos. I'm posting this because he discusses exactly what the OP was asking ..... Also because I'm the inverse of #1, I'm a southerner that came north to design homes. Had a lot of new tricks to learn and some to forget.
There is considerable research on the advantages of closed crawl spaces.
See http://www.crawlspaces.org/
What occurs in humid climates is that often air brought in to ventilate the crawl space is at a temp at or near the dew point....the moisture condenses on surfaces inside the crawl space, causing mold and rot.
The first step should be to place a vapor barrier of at least 6 mil (I used a great product, StegoWrap), on the dirt floor, and run it up the foundation wall and attach near sill plate. Often may be desirable to attach below the sill plate, allowing a space for termite inspection.
The website above will reference whether it's better for you to insulate the floor or walls. I did my walls. The vents should be closed and sealed.
Although a dehumidifier nay be necessary, depending on moisture levels, an often adequate solution for dehumidification is to have a 4" vent, with a damper to prevent backflow, to blow either heated or A/C air into the crawl space. The idea is that the air will then exfiltrate back into the home.
There is much instrumented data available on the above website. This research was done with assistance of federal and state grants.
The articles and papers therein made a lot of sense to me, and I did mine myself. It was dirty and hard work in a 12-16" high space....but was worth the effort.
It would be best to just wait and see if you need a dehumidifier. There is nothing like actual real observation to get the correct information - rather than hunches and guesses from people who don't know the details of your particular circumstances.

I enjoyed a normal education. I went to school, was required to take courses in science such as biology, and chemistry. It was my assumption those who taught such courses actually knew something about the field of science. Little did I realize until reading the words of "Dr" Paul Ryan, who spends his time in the United States Congress, that those posing as "scientists" lack any knowledge about what is going on in this world. For some reason, these "scientists" claim that action by humans is altering the climate in this world. According to Paul Ryan, do not listen to people who masquerade with Ph.Ds or boast of studying geology and weather. They lack his knowledge which was gained in talks with lobbyists and pollsters. These are the true scientists in our world. Let me share the wise words of Paul Ryan:
"Climate change occurs no matter what. My question is: can or should the federal government do something about it…. And, all it will do is end up hurting our economy, our people, and especially low income people. I see an excuse to grow government, raise taxes and slow down economic growth." I trust Americans will listen carefully to the words of someone who has absolutely NO knowledge about what is occurring on our planet. However, in fairness to Paul, he IS an expert on fostering wealth for those who are wealthy. He is against the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT" doing anything. I wonder if Paul has any knowledge what prior Republican leaders did:
!. Abraham Lincoln introduced the income tax. He had the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT finance construction of the Intercontinental railroad which dramatically changed our economy. He pushed through the Homestead Act which allowed thousands to get free land–talk about aiding the poor. He also had government provide financial aid to colleges.
2. Theodore Roosevelt is responsible for creation of our National Parks. He had the Federal Government finance construction of the Panama Canal. He pushed through anti trust laws and regulation of Big Business.
3. Dwight Eisenhower is responsible for creation of our intercontinental roads. FINANCED BY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT.
4. Franklin Roosevelt had airports built, shipyards constructed, dams built, reforested our nations, constructed roads, built railroad stations, etc..
Imagine an America with Paul Ryans as president, instead of these men??

Green & Black's - Dark 70%
I was browsing the grocery shelves and noticed Green & Black chocolate bars hidden in a back aisle. Remembering seeeing a recommendation for Green & Black chocolate on ThisNext, I picked up a couple flavors. I didn't find the Maya Gold variety particularly exciting, but my wife agrees with me that the Dark 70% flavor is some of the best chocolate we've tried, and she likes that it's organic.
The best two foods ever, together. Ridiculous you say, but, much like a chocolate pretzel, wonderfully delicious. They make some of my favorite truffles, too.Added 9 Years Ago from Vosges Chocolate

Q&A: Brandon Rios
Photos and story by Ricardo Conde
WBA #3 lightweight contender "Bam Bam" Brandon Rios (24-0-1, 18 KOs) of Oxnard, CA, trained by former junior lightweight champion Robert Garcia, is set to take on WBA #2 lightweight contender Anthony Peterson (30-0, 20 KOs) of Washington DC this Saturday, September 11 at the Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas, NV in a scheduled 12 round lightweight title eliminator in the co-feature of HBO's latest edition of B.A.D. "Boxing After Dark" which is being headlined by WBA featherweight champion "El Ciclon de Guantánamo" Yuriorkis Gamboa (18-0, 15 KOs) of Cuba against IBF featherweight champion Orlando "Siri" Salido (34-10-2, 22 KOs) of Mexico.
We had a moment to sit down and talk to Brandon Rios about his upcoming fight, here's what he had to say:
How was training camp and did you doing anything different in this camp that you haven't done for your previous fights?
Nothing really, training camp was pretty much the same. It seems like I've been in training camp for a longer period, out of 6 months I only took 4 weeks off, but other than that everything was the same. We worked a lot on speed, which I had good sparring with Eloy Perez; he helped me out a lot with that, so training camp was really good.
With only a couple of days until the fight, how do you feel at this point?
Well, to tell you the truth I feel great. Usually by this time in camp I'm exhausted, weak and all that but right now since I'm doing a good job on my dieting and everything the weight has been coming off perfect, I look good and I feel good. So I feel great right now, ready to rock and roll.
What do you know about your opponent, Anthony Peterson and what do you think of him as a fighter?
Well, I don't know too much about him. I used to see him in the amateurs; he was always in a higher weight class than me. I know he's very quick. I've been studying him on the tapes also. He can box really well when you let him, but other than that I know it's going to be a tough fight and really good one too.
Do you feel Anthony Peterson is going to be the toughest fight of your career so far?
So far on paper he is, but I've had some tough fights coming up so I don't know if he'll be the toughest fight of my career, maybe if we talk after the fight I can let you know if he was tough or not but I've already been in with some tough guys so we'll see.
Your last six fights have all ended in knockouts, give us your thoughts on this fight, do you see the fight going the distance or ending the same way your last fights have ended, what's your prediction on this fight?
It's going to be really hard fight; from what I've seen he has a really good defense. A prediction, maybe in the later rounds I might get him, you never know it's boxing so I really don't have a prediction by knockout or anything like that. I know he's already predicting he's going to knock me out, which I love. I love it when people think they can knock me out and when people doubt me, because that just makes me stronger in the ring. So right now he's predicting he's going to knock me out in the later rounds but all I can tell you is that he isn't going to knock me out in the later rounds or at all. My prediction is that it's going to be a great fight and hopefully he's ready for war and I hope he doesn't run all day and get on his bicycle.
Let's talk a little bit about your last fight.
Going into the fight with Jorge Luis Teron, which you won via third round knockout to claim the NABF lightweight title, did you think the fight was going to be a lot tougher than it actually was or you made it seem and why?
Well, yes because everyone kept saying that he's a tough guy and Brandon doesn't have any power and basically saying that he's the tougher guy. When I fought Teron, to me it wasn't tough at all, not even close to being tough. I broke straight through him and he couldn't handle the first power punch I gave him and after that he just kept running. So when I saw him hurt in the first round, I knew he couldn't handle it and the same goes with Peterson, as soon as he feels my first power punch to me I'm pretty sure he's going to get on his bicycle and run around in the ring because I'm sure he's not going to want to stay in there and trade with me, but we'll see.
You have a very tough assignment on September 11, but should you get past Anthony Peterson, who would you like to face next?
Well, if everything goes well on September 11, I would love to fight Humberto Soto for the WBC championship, if he has balls, and I hope you put that in there, those are the exact words from me. If he has balls grow up and fight somebody, stop trying to pick your opponents and get easy fights. Fight someone that's real and wants it as bad as you say you want it, you say you're the champ, well I'm ready. If he doesn't want to then I'll fight anybody at 135 with the belt and if they don't want to then there's Antillon. Everybody's still waiting for that one and I would love to fight that fight. I didn't get to do it before because I was cut but I would love that fight.
You're both going into the ring as undefeated fighters, this fight is definitely a must win for both of you, what kind of statement are you looking to make in your fight with Peterson, and how important is it for you to win this fight?
The statement I'm trying to make is that I want to show everybody that I'm the best at 135; I've been training all my life to get where I'm at and I've been doing a good job at it and I just want to show everyone that I'm ready for the upper level fighters and its about time. It feels like my pro debut fighting for the first time on HBO and you know what, I feel ready, I feel confident. People are going to want to see even more and more of me after this fight.
What is your opinion of the current lightweight division?
I'm in a very tough division, we have Juan Manuel Marquez, Katsidis he's a champion, there's Robert Guerrero who's also in the division. It's a great division to be in right now, along with welterweight its one of the best divisions to be in right now. I'm ready to explode and show everybody who I am, it's about time.
In closing, is there anything you would like to tell your fans?
I would like to tell my fans, my family and friends, thank you for all the support. I want to thank everyone for watching me coming up. If you've seen me on TV or if you haven't make sure you tune into HBO on September 11. If you've seen me fight then you know the situation, you know I come to fight and how I do it once I'm in that ring. I'm ready and I'm always prepared so thanks a lot to everybody in Oxnard and my home town of Garden City, Kansas, I love you all and thanks for everything.

PSYC 390. Internship in Human Services
Many human service organizations have internship positions available for psychology majors. These organizations include group homes, social service agencies, mental health facilities, crisis hotlines, educational intervention programs, domestic violence and homeless shelters. Students may obtain course credit by working for a human service organization during one semester of the academic year and simultaneously enrolling in an academic course that includes weekly meetings, reading, and writing assignments, along with student-created learning plans and an independent project. For more information about this opportunity, students should talk directly with the department's internship coordinator.
PSYC 390 is one of several capstone experiences for psychology majors: a senior-level course allowing students to use skills developed in their psychology major in an applied setting. For the full course description of PSYC 390, click here. A list of previous internship sites held by 390 students can be found here.
Prerequisites for PSYC 390 are:
- PSYC 304. Statistics
- PSYC 306. Research Methods
Senior psychology majors may take PSYC 390 only with permission of the internship coordinator. Students must obtain recommendations from two Psychology Department faculty members, and apply for acceptance into PSYC 390, by the middle of the prior semester.
Student Responsibilities
PSYC 390 students are expected to attend weekly classes and complete weekly assignments, and to work as an intern for a minimum of 100 hours during the semester in a social service agency. The internship coordinator will provide students with a list of possible a site placements prior to enrolling in PSYC 390. The Center for Experiential Learning offers additional resources for helping students find placements. Students must make arrangements for their internship placement by 2 weeks prior to the semester's start.
As representatives of the Loyola community, students are expected to perform in a manner that brings credit to their institution. Interested students should discuss the PSYC 390 internship experience with the internship coordinator early in the semester before enrolling in the course.

Feeney gets in the Owl routine at Wednesday
Sheffield Wednesday boss Brian Laws says Northern Ireland striker Warren Feeney is the perfect man to drag the Owls away from a potential relegation dogfight.
Feeney signed a one-month loan deal with Wednesday yesterday, a move that could be extended until the end of the season.
The east-Belfast man has found it difficult to break into the Cardiff City side since recovering from a hip operation, with the Bluebirds boasting the most lethal strike partnership in the Championship — with Peter Whittingham and Michael Chopra hitting 21 goals between them.
Now Laws, whose side have collectively scored just three more than Chopra and Whittingham in the league, is looking to Feeney to push Wednesday up the table.
The Owls are currently 17th in the Championship, just three points ahead of third from bottom Plymouth.
"Cardiff City have plenty of attacking options so it has been difficult for Warren to force his way into the team," Laws said.
"I am really pleased that Dave Jones has allowed Warren to join us because he is an attack-minded player with a lot to offer in the final third."
Another Northern Ireland international leaving Cardiff on-loan is left-back Tony Capaldi, who has joined Leeds United until January.
Under-21 defender Johnny Flynn has secured a loan move to League Two side Accrington Stanley after spending a month with Conference club Chester City.

Target: California Department of Fish and Wildlife
Goal: Applaud new policies implemented by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife that allow nonlethal resolutions to mountain lion appearances.
For the first time, California state wildlife officials now have ways to deal with mountain lions without necessarily killing them, thanks to recent policy revisions in dealing with cougars that show up in urban areas. In the past, officials had two options: monitor the mountain lion until it had left the area on its own, or kill it under special permit. Now, new policy declares that if a mountain lion has not already threatened or attacked a person or domestic animal, it can be considered a "potential human conflict," and dealt with via a range of nonlethal methods. "Potential human conflicts" are defined as those "that could reasonably be perceived as having potential to cause severe injury or death to humans."
Tim Dunbar, executive director of the Sacramento-based nonprofit Mountain Lion Foundation, said, "With these new guidelines, [the California Department of Fish and Wildlife has] added a whole new category where it gives them the option to slow down and take some other course. This is a good step forward. We believe its something that's been needed for some time."
New options include hazing the cougar with nonlethal ammunition such as rubber bullets or beanbag rounds, or using Tasers, tranquilizer guns, pepper spray, or trained dogs to drive the mountain lion back into the wild. In some cases, they may also capture, transport, and rehabilitate mountain lions. The new policy also limits the number of mountain lions that can be killed to one per special permit.
The new regulations were inspired in large part due to an incident last year where two mountain lion kittens that had been hiding under a deck in a residential area of Half Moon Bay were killed by officials. Necropsies later determined that the kittens had been under 14 pounds each, four months old, and had no food in their stomachs.
Commend the California Department of Fish and Wildlife for including nonlethal measures when dealing with mountain lions.
Dear California Department of Fish and Wildlife,
California is the only state in the nation that classifies mountain lions as a "specially protected species," which makes it illegal to hunt, harm, capture, or harass the big cats. While the law allows for them to be killed by special permit when they pose a threat to public safety, livestock, or other endangered species such as bighorn sheep, lethal action is not always called for. But until recently, when action was needed, no other alternative was available, and mountain lions have suffered needless deaths.
As humans and wildlife continue to come in contact, it is important to demonstrate prudence and respect for life in these situations. Thank you for implementing measures to allow for nonlethal methods of dealing with our beautiful big cats, and for reining in their unnecessary killings.

fantastic doctor and staff
The center quickly took in my sick puppy and spent plenty of time trying to find the cause. Dr Brannen was overly helpful with providing information on Joey's sickness and recovery. Due to his condition worsening as we were there, they kept him over night and I received a call at 8am by Dr. Brannen to let me know my puppy was doing much better and they will continue to monitor him. Although our bill seems very, we know our dog is in good hands and received the best care possible. We've never experienced such a wonderful vet and staff before and thanks to Dogster, the previous reviews pointed us in the right direction.

Dr. Brannen and all the Vets at SW Freeway Animal Hospital are GREAT!
We were referred to Dr. Harvey when my mommy's job moved to Sugar Land. It was an excellent referral because we like Dr. Brannen a lot. Some of the other vets have seen and treated me on days and times when Dr. Brannen wasn't available and we have been extremely pleased with all my vet care and, in fact, all of our interactions with the entire staff at Southwest Freeway Animal Hospital. So much so that when mommy changed jobs and it became inconvenient for me to keep going there, we decided to overlook that and go a bit out of our way for such good care.posted: February 3rd, 2008

Munich, January 26, 2012 – With the BPS C1, Giesecke & Devrient (G&D) has added a further robust, high-performance machine to its range of desktop systems. This two-stacker machine, featuring a sorting tray and a reject compartment, boasts a counting speed of up to 1,500 banknotes per minute – the fastest in its category. It is highly flexible and offers utmost precision for banknote processing applications. The system is able to process up to 10 different currencies. Two people can use the same BPS C1 machine in parallel, making an investment in the system even more cost-effective. Its front-facing controls and opening mechanism simplify the operator's work and significantly reduce the machine's footprint.
"The BPS C1 combines functionality, ergonomic design, and quality in a single, compact unit. It is the perfect solution for professional users who require a machine that takes up a minimum of space, and the ideal product for integration in local and regional cash management scenarios," says Ralf Wintergerst, Group Senior Vice President and Head of the Banknote Processing division at Giesecke & Devrient, describing the new system's design concept.
The BPS C1 sets a new standard in this machine category for the speed with which banknotes can be processed. In fractions of a second, the machine with its highly precise sensors is capable of verifying the authenticity and denomination of banknotes, and sorting them into different stacks based on their denomination, series, and orientation. Counterfeit and unusable banknotes are automatically directed to the reject compartment. If required, the BPS C1 can be equipped to read serial numbers on banknotes and barcodes, for instance on casino tickets. As a further option, banknotes can be sorted into three classes according to the condition they are in, distinguishing between banknotes suitable for automated teller machines, banknotes fit for circulation, and banknotes no longer fit for circulation. The BPS C1 can be configured to meet the needs of individual users.
Its small footprint and convenient front access make the BPS C1 the ideal choice for branch banking offices, where it can be installed at the teller window or in the back office. The compact system's multiple functions and operating modes also make it suitable for use in cash centers, in casinos, and by security transport companies. The machine, which can be used for the preliminary processing of cashier deposits, smoothly integrates into established workflows and is interoperable with existing G&D cash management software. The excellent build quality of the BPS C1 guarantees a long service life – an additional benefit that makes it a cost-effective investment.

The Phillies are known for September surges, and this season they are at it again.
The two-time defending National League champions moved into first place in the National League East Tuesday night with an 8-7 victory vs. the Marlins in Philadelphia. The Phillies are a half game ahead of the Braves, who lost 5-0 in Pittsburgh.
The Phillies are in first place for the first time since May 30. They were seven games behind Atlanta on July 22.
This is the team that overcame a seven-game deficit with 17 to play to beat the New York Mets in 2007. They also came back from a 3 ½-game deficit with 16 games to play a year later.
"It's always good to be in first place,'' Phillies manager Charlie Manuel said in the Philadelphia Inquirer. "It's the only way to live.''
"It'd be nicer if it were the last game of the year,'' Phillies pitcher Joe Blanton said.
But, the last game of the season could be interesting. The Phillies have 22 games remaining, including six with the Braves, Sept. 20-22 at home and on the season's final weekend in Atlanta.
The Phillies survived their own miscues. The Marlins tied the game on a throwing error, a balk and a wild pitch, but Placido Polanco's RBI single in the eighth inning scored Shane Victorino with the deciding run. Victorino had singled and stole second.
Scoring runs has been a problem for the Phillies this season, but Manuel shuffled his lineup, having Victorino hit leadoff and Rollins, who usually hits leadoff, fifth. Rollins had two RBI.
Meanwhile, Atlanta has lost five of six, scoring 12 runs in the process. The Pirates had lost seven of nine before beating the Braves twice. Coincidentally, the Braves swept the Pirates in May to move into first place.
Braves starter Tim Hudson had thrown 28 consecutive innings without allowing the Pirates a run, but allowed four runs in the seventh inning. The Braves say they aren't pressing.

Updated: Methode Electronics going on four-day week
(Adds Methode's and GWU's comments)
Methode Electronics has informed its employees that they will go on a four-day week as from Monday, sources told timesofmalta.com this afternoon. The company, which manufactures switches for the automotive industry, employs over 600 people.
The company said it has been constrained by the international situation and its effect to adopt a four-day week. It said that the nature of the company's business, which was completely automotive related, was such that the flow of orders for its products was extremely vulnerable to the effects of the current global economic climate.
Methode said it would be monitoring the situation closely and responding as appropriate to protect the interests of all its stakeholders.
In another statement the GWU said that the company yesterday informed it that it wanted to drastically reduce its work force.
The union said that following long discussions today, it managed to avoid dismissals and workers will be working on a four-day week for four weeks when the situation will again be reviewed.
Another major company, Trelleborg, which manufactures 'O' rings for the automotive industry, went on a four-day week earlier this month.

Sticker Charts/Reward Charts/Behavior Charts: The Five Most Common Mistakes Parents Make When Using Reward Charts
Reward charts (also sometimes called "sticker charts" or "behavior charts") are frequently employed by parents to deal with their young children's undesirable behaviors. When administered properly, a reward chart is a powerful parenting tool. However, in too many cases, reward charts fail because of a few common errors. Below I have listed common mistakes that parents can make in setting up a reward chart. Dr. Alan Kazdin's book The Kazdin Method for Parenting the Defiant Child is an excellent resource for how to set up an effective reward chart program.
Mistake 1: The focus is on eliminating negative behaviors rather than focusing on increasing positive behaviors.
Take, for example, an eight year-old boy who exhibits explosive temper tantrums. A sticker chart in which the boy gets points for going the whole day (or even part of the day) without tantrum is less likely to be effective than one in which the child gets points for engaging in a positive behavior that is incompatible with a temper tantrum. Let's say, in our example, a tantrum is most likely to occur when the boy needs to leave for school. A chart could be made in which the boy gets points for getting dressed for school on his own and on time. There are two key benefits to having the chart focus on the presence of a desired behavior rather than on the absence of a negative one: 1. When you focus on stopping an undesirable behavior, you don't know what behavior will come in its place. Maybe it will be a desired behavior like brushing his teeth, but maybe it will be another undesirable behavior like getting into a fight with his brother. 2. It is much easier for a child to succeed if he can focus on doing something to achieve a reward, than it is if he has to succeed by stopping himself from doing something (like not having a tantrum).
Mistake 2: The initial goals are too big.
If the initial goal of the reward chart is, for example, to end all tantrums, it is almost certainly going to fail. First, most children have at least an occasional tantrum, so the goal of ending all tantrums is virtually impossible to achieve. When parents set goals for their kids' behavior that does not accurately reflect what a child is capable of given his/her developmental age, everyone involved is going to be frustrated and the reward chart abandoned. Second, because selecting modest initial goals helps increase the likelihood of achieving the goals, it creates conditions in which success on the smaller goals builds a momentum of success with which to tackle larger goals. In the example above, the parents' knowledge of what are common triggers of tantrums allows them to select a specific trigger to focus their initial reward chart on.
Mistake 3: Keeping up with the chart places too big an "administrative" demand on parent.
Parents of challenging boys often feel completely spent. The idea of adding another administrative demand to their already busy exhausting lives can seem overwhelming. It is crucial, therefore, that a reward chart be constructed so that the parents feel able to follow through on it. Too many reward charts fail because parents lose their motivation to keep up with it. It is easy to lose motivation with a reward chart. Behavior change does not occur overnight. It takes some time. Behavior change does not occur linearly. One day may be great followed by a day where the problematic behavior returns. One important way to make a chart less of a demand on the parents and easier to follow through on is to make it simple. In the example above, the parents only need to chart whether their son gets dressed for school on his own and one practice session during the day (see below). A second way to make the chart less demanding is to have days off. In our example, the parents and son will take the weekend off. Dr. Kazdin says that a reward chart can be effective even if it is used only one or two days per week. It is better to administer your reward chart consistently only a couple of days per week than to use it every day but be inconsistent on some days.
Mistake 4: Rewards are too hard or too easy to get.
The selection of rewards is an important part of building an effective reward chart program. Rewards need to be small, but desirable to the child. They need to be priced, especially initially, low enough so that a successful day yields enough points to enable a child to buy a reward. As the program builds momentum, more desirable rewards that require some saving of points can be added in. Rewards that are priced to require more than a few days of point savings should not be used because they weaken the link between the desired behavior and the reward. However, Dr. Kazdin does recommend having a big reward for the program. All points earned in the program (even those that are spent on smaller rewards are counted) are totaled towards reaching the big reward. The big reward should be priced so that it can be earned in a minimum of two weeks (with perfect completion of the chart), but more likely it will take a little longer because, as I mentioned above, behavior change is not linear.
Mistake 5: The child is not given chances to be rewarded for "practicing."
Most parents do not include opportunities for practice in their reward charts. Dr. Kazdin stresses that rewarded practice is a key ingredient in a successful reward chart program. In the example above, at some point in the day after school, the boy would have the opportunity to "practice" getting ready for school. This practice might involve his changing into his pajamas with a parent's help and then he is left to put his day clothes back on. If this practice is completed successfully then he gets points. Again, keeping in mind the need to keep administrative demands on the parents low, the chart for the boy in the example might include an opportunity to earn two points for one successful practice per day and two points for actually getting ready for school.

We introduce the complex noise-bit as information carrier, which requires noise signals in two parallel wires instead of the single-wire representations of noise-based logic discussed so far. The immediate advantage of this new scheme is that, when we use random telegraph waves as noise carrier, the superposition of the first 2^N integer numbers (obtained by the Achilles heel operation) yields non-zero values. We introduce basic instantaneous operations, with O(2^0) time and hardware complexity, including bit-value measurements in product states, single-bit and two-bit noise gates (universality exists) that can instantaneously operate over large superpositions with full parallelism. We envision the possibility of implementing instantaneously running quantum algorithms on classical computers while using similar number of classical bits as the number of quantum bits emulated without the necessity of error corrections. Mathematical analysis and proofs are given.

Happened to catch my eye as I was flipping through the channels last night. CNBC is airing a story called the rise of the AR15 or something like that. I can't wait to see how this "objective" news channel is going to report this story.
Any bets that this is going to be a slam job on the weapon and the "gun culture?" I can't imagine they are going to take an objective position.

For example, Lorenzo had 'the wall' so had to do his own thing. There are too many variables to really say who was the best. It will be judged purely on results though, so in that sense yes he could be the best ever rookie. He's an amazing talent there's no doubt about it. Reply Report abuse 14 agree 1 disagree
