1. Scope
1.1 This specification covers deformed and plain stainless steel bars for concrete reinforcement used in applications requiring resistance to corrosion or controlled magnetic permeability. The standard sizes and dimensions of deformed bars and their numerical designation shall be those listed in Table 1. The text of this specification references notes and footnotes which provide explanatory material. These notes and footnotes (excluding those in tables and figures) shall not be considered as requirements of the specification.
1.1.1 Supplementary requirement (S1) of an optional nature is provided. It shall apply only when specified by the purchaser. In order to obtain a controlled magnetic permeability product, steel conforming to Supplementary Requirement S1 should be ordered.
1.2 The chemical composition of the stainless steel alloy shall be selected for suitability to the application involved by agreement between the manufacturer and the purchaser. This is an important consideration in achieving the desired corrosion resistance and/or controlled magnetic permeability.
Note 1—The alloys shown in Table 2 have found the most use in North America. These and other stainless steel alloys specified in A 276 or other specifications are available for consideration in product selection. Consult with the steel manufacturer for stainless steel alloy availability.
1.3 Bars are generally of three minimum yield levels, namely, 40 000 [300 MPa], 60 000 [420 MPa], and 75 000 psi [520 MPa], designated as Grade 40 [300], Grade 60 [420], and Grade 75 [520], respectively.
1.4 Plain rounds in sizes up to and including 2 in. [50.8 mm] in diameter, when specified for dowels, spirals, structural ties, and supports, shall be furnished under this specification in Grade 40 [300], Grade 60 [420], and Grade 75 [520], respectively. Bending properties, when required, shall be by agreement between the manufacturer and purchaser. Requirements providing for deformations and marking shall not be applicable to plain bars.
1.5 Weldability of most stainless steel compositions is generally good, however, pre-weld or post-weld procedures, or both, are necessary. Where material is to be welded, a welding procedure suitable for the chemical composition and intended use or service shall be used. Retesting of physical properties should be considered following welding procedures depending upon the steel composition and welding operation involved.
Note 2—It is recommended that the user consult the manufacturer for information available from the Nickel Development Institute (NIDI) (Toronto, Canada).
1.6 This specification is applicable for orders in either inch-pound units (as Specification A 955) or in SI units (as Specification A 955M).
1.7 The values stated in either inch-pound or SI units are to be regarded separately as standard. Within the text, the SI units are shown in brackets. The values stated in each system are not exact equivalents; therefore, each system shall be used independently of the other. Combining values from the two systems may result in nonconformance with the standard.
2. Referenced Documents (purchase separately) The documents listed below are referenced within the subject standard but are not provided as part of the standard.

Adam30587 needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 28 designs submitted by 10 freelance designers.
Ibiza Jetski School
We are based in beautiful Ibiza, Spain and offer a full-range of training classes for "stand-up" jetskiing. (Important: Stand-up, not sit-down jetskis)
Our core customers are tourists, who want to enjoy their summer visit to Ibiza (the mediterrean´s vacation hotspot) so our clients want to try it for fun, or learn how to ride like a pro!
We want a logo that portrays the essence of Ibiza, something fun yet memorable that attracts the eye in a tourist hotspot.
Colors that are associated with the beach, the water, with jetskiing!
Jetskiing is not for elderly, so the demographic is 16-45 years, men and women.
It´s a fast sport, and anyone who likes a good workout is a great potential client. But, it´s fun so a anyone on vacation may want to experience the adrenaline rush...
Look up IBIZA (EIVISSA), SPAIN -- It´s a party island, and we want a logo that is SEXY, and recognizable in all languages -- so the symbol cannot be too abstract. If you don´t speak English, you can see the symbol (without reading the words) and understand what we offer....

Apple has begun internally seeding iTunes 11, the next major release of iTunes for Mac and PC.
That's according to 9to5Mac, which claims unnamed sources have said that work on the new version of Apple's iTunes began before iTunes 10.6 was released in March.
The report claims that iTunes 11 does not have a different aesthetic design, but has improved iCloud integration, with a new iCloud settings panel accessible from within iTunes itself. 9to5Mac says that the panel is "a centralised, always accessible spot for users to control iCloud related features while in iTunes. These features include iTunes Match, iTunes in the Cloud, iCloud iOS device backups and more."
It is expected that Apple will release iTunes 11 alongside iOS 6, but 9to5Mac points out that another iTunes 10.x update making the software compatible with iOS 6 could be more likely.
iTunes users are hoping for a complete overhaul in the next update, after complaints about syncing difficulties and overcomplicated ways of getting things done within the software.

Ideeze is a new web-based business. We are developing a line of products that can be personalized or allow the personalization of other products through graphic applications - mainly self-adhesive labels/stickers. Ideeze is a coined name that is pronounced "eye-dees". Our identity tagline is "ideeze - making your mark".
The target audience is quite broad and could appeal to a wide range of people. It should not say male or female too strongly.
We're looking for an identity for "ideeze" that is optimized for use online, with some limited print applications.
We do NOT want "ideeze.com" for the identity
The identity should be composed of a symbol along with a logotype treatment of "ideeze". A really creative text-only solution would be considered as well.
We would like to see some ideas that incorporate the tagline "making your mark" into the identity as well - this is a nice to have and not essential.
The identity should be strong, confident, clean and modern. Playful is OK, childish or cute is not.

Download the authoritative guide: Cloud Computing 2019: Using the Cloud for Competitive Advantage
Much has been made about the value of in-flight Wi-Fi in recent years, but attempts to get it "off the ground" have largely failed.
2008, however, has seen lots of announcements and some actual movement toward deployments--in some cases, even big promises of delivering fleet-wide service by years end--so perhaps 2009 will finally be the year of in-flight Wi-Fi. For now, Wi-Fi can only be found on a smattering of flights, but on an increasing number of domestic airlines, including Alaska Air, U.S. Airways, American Airlines, Southwest, United Airlines, Virgin America, and Delta.
In most cases, Wi-Fi becomes another amenity that travelers have to pay for, typically $5.95-$12.95 depending on the duration of the flight, although Southwest is currently testing price points as low as $2 to see what the market can bear.
Up in the air
Among those making a bid for profitability as a provider is Row 44, a purveyor of satellite-based in-flight Wi-Fi for commercial aircraft, which announced Thursday that it has received a permanent operating license from the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC).
Row 44, which leverages its relationship with Hughes satellites to provide in-flight Wi-Fi to passengers, has an advantage over cellular providers because, unlike air-to-ground cellular, the Row 44 system allows airlines to offer online connections outside the U.S. and over oceans.
Alaska Airlines is testing the system and plans to expand the service to all its planes, depending on the outcome of the trial run. Currently, the airline Tweets its Wi-Fi flights daily (@AlaskaAir) and it lists the handful of flights with Wi-Fi here (updated daily). Southwest also Tweets its Wi-Fi flights (@SouthwestAir).
Row 44 has a license in Canada and a right to operate agreement in Mexico, as well as dozens of licenses for operations in other countries.
"Today's announcement of the FCC's ruling signals a major victory for Row 44 and our airline customers in our vision of bringing affordable broadband to the skies," said John Guidon, CEO in a press release Thursday. "Ours is the first solution offering true broadband to airline passengers, both domestically and overseas, delivering an experience comparable to the high Internet speeds they enjoy at home and work. No longer will an airline be forced to accept an unattractive compromise between the performance it can offer and the service price it must charge. Achieving this critical regulatory milestone took us longer than we'd anticipated, but we believe our North American airline partners and their passengers will find this in-flight service well worth the wait."
Wake me up before you
Aircell has announced eight airline partners so far, the most recent being U.S. Airways, which signed on in July to offer Aircells Gogo Inflight Internet Service on its fleet of 50 A321 aircraft. The deployment is not expected to go live until 2010 at the earliest.
Aircell is also wisely targeting charter and managed aircraft. Its High Speed Internet unit for business aviation (the ATG 4000) was FAA-certified in June. It weighs just 11 pounds and its two belly-mounted antenna weigh only 1.25 pounds each. During installation, each aircraft receives an Aircell Axxess cabin system with an ATG 4000 unit. The integrated, open architecture communications suite provides high-speed Internet service via Aircells 3G cellular network in the continental U.S., which operates over a network of ground stations using exclusive broadband air-to-ground spectrum. Clients also have in-flight access to multiple channels of worldwide voice and narrowband data service via the Iridium satellite network.
Aircell High Speed Internet system clients include Clay Lacy Aviation, headquartered in Van Nuys, California (pictured right).
Aircell recently announced a new satellite-based system, as well. Its SwiftBroadband system (powered by Thrane & Thrane) has received full certification and is now shipping. The first installation is being completed by 328 Support Services GmbH at its Oberpfaffenhofen facility near Munich, Germany, aboard an executive Dornier 328JET operated by Aviando Services based in Venezuela.
SwiftBroadband enables passengers to use Wi-Fi-enabled laptops and smartphones for e-mail and light Internet services in flight. The system also integrates VoWi-Fi to allow calls from cabin handsets.
Executives want to remain productive by staying in touch while they fly and Aircells new SwiftBroadband solution fulfills that need perfectly, said Dave Jackson, CEO of 328 Support Services in a press release July 29th. Because it is so much faster, lighter, and more affordable than previous generations of global technology, the system makes in-flight connectivity a reality for a whole new segment of business aircraft.

Alex Minsky Is New Face Of Jack Adams Underwear
At the risk of putting you guys on Alex Minsky overload (but really, in this case is there ever too much of a good thing?), we wanted to share that the marine turned model is now the 2014 face of Jack Adams underwear and activewear!
Check out Alex's new Jack Adams promo video:
And our crush only grows.
Image Source (H/T: Wicked Gay Blog)
Not my kind of hunk (the tats turn me off big time) but I'm old school that way.... grew up very religious and tats were a sin (as were piercings) BUT his personality won me over and I wish him the best of luck with the modeling -- glad he's not afraid to show his prosthetic. We are still so "traumatized" at the sight of our veterans with missing limbs. I can see it when I'm in crowds and it's amazing how folks react when they see someone with such injuries.
Do you not have a similar visceral reaction to a man with tattoos or piercings that others might have to a man with a prosthetic leg? Choice or not, it's still an aesthetic difference that, though you may not agree with (because of clearly-stated religious disagreement), is still a difference that exists outside of your particular opinion. In your words, "it's amazing how folks react when they see someone with such" ... injuries, tattoos, skin color? Some people are still so "traumatized" at the sight of tattooed people. I can see it when I'm in crowds, businesses, or on forums, and it's amazing how folks react when they see someone with such aesthetic differences.
What is wrong with his voice? That post about his voice "ruined his sexiness" has to be one of the most shallow, ridiculously stupid, and low class things ever posted on a gay website and that's saying something! This man is an amazing beauty both inside and out as well as a symbol of overcoming life's obstacles or tragedies. Life is still a struggle for him, it never ends with injuries like he sustained. We should all thank any soldier we come in contact with along the way, we have no idea of their own damage both physical and mental.
Dude , are you kidding ? his second week in Iraq he was hit by a bomb and was in the hospital for a year recovering from surgery ! he had to learn to walk all over again and talk . his jaw was busted in five places and he had reconstructive surgery for that ! An example of judging and open your mouth before you know the story! I admire him for what he's done !

At CES 2013, OtterBox announced the Armor Series for the iPhone 4, 4S and 5, their first waterproof case in a long time. It's got plenty of padding for impact protection, including plugs for headphone and dock/Lightning port, and a non-permeable film around the speakers that can let sound out without the device getting wet. Once the tough metal clamps are in place, you can submerge your iPhone over 6 feet for half an hour, drop it from 10 feet, and blast as much dust as you want at it without any worries.
The arguably more interesting product OtterBox was showing off at the show was the Defender Series with iOn Intelligence - a new variant with an integrated backup battery and a dedicated iOS application for monitoring how much juice is left in the pack and in your iPhone. In addition to have the three layers of protection we're used to, there's also a microUSB plug to keep everything charged. There's no data pass-through, so you'll still need to take your iPhone out if you ever want to sync, but for the convenience of extra power and protection, I'd say it's worth the compromise.
The only downside is that you'll be paying a steep premium of $130 for the Defender Series with iOn Intelligence. No word on release date just yet, but it should be out sometime this spring. The Armor series OtterBox for iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, and iPhone 5 will be available February 22 for $99.95 online and at AT&T stores. Any takers? You can get a closer look at the Armor series over here.

Ego. Pride. Confidence. These are important traits for anybody, frankly. But they are also your enemy when it comes to trading, investing and analyzing stocks, markets, economies and anything else. I bring this up because I got a great scuttle from a Scutify.com member asking about Yandex and if it's a contrarian buying opportunity right now.
Posted … 2h ago @CodyWillard Cody, with your contrarian thoughts, don't you think $YNDX "could" be a steal. I still remember your thoughts on Syria conflicts wherein we got some stocks at bargain. I would hope you do spend some time on $YNDX for the benefit of all of us. Tx.
I'm here to tell you that I was happy to check my ego, my pride and my confidence in keeping up with stock news, markets and economies and immediately set to work doing some deep analysis on Yandex /quotes/zigman/5262665/delayed /quotes/nls/yndx YNDX . So let's dig in with some "top down" and some "bottom up" Revolution Investing analysis on Yandex and see where we end up, shall we?
Here's where my best try at being totally objective about Yandex with my analysis took me from the kernel of the idea to the actual trade.
Yandex's profile states that, "Yandex N.V. operates an Internet search engine in Russia and internationally. The company offers a range of search, location-based, personalized, and mobile services that enable users to find information, and communicate and connect over the Internet from desktops and mobile devices; and localized homepages for specific geographic markets."
First off, let me repeat what I've long stressed and found over the decades to be true — investing in your own country where you know the laws and have some faith in the markets and the numbers that publicly-traded companies report is hard enough. Staying on top of U.S.-based companies and their place in global Revolution Investment trends is hard enough, no? I typically stray away from foreign-investments, especially "developing market" investments, and having seen most investors lose their shirts at some point in most developing markets cycles over the years, I continue to think it's wise to keep most of your money invested in domestic companies.
But again, let's check that premise at the door and see if there's an opportunity, contrarian or otherwise, to make some money in Yandex.
The contrarian-esque concept to this trade is much like the concept I've espoused over the last five years of buying stocks whenever the markets freak out and panic about a geopolitical development. Naveen mentioned my thoughts on the Syria conflicts when I'd repeatedly advised taking advantage of the panic in the markets by buying good stocks that you already believed in but were being sold off in the broader markets' sell-off.
Take a look at the broad panicky sell-off in the Russian Stock Market Index , the RTS. You can see where it crashed when Russia formally invaded and took over Crimea from Ukraine, in the southwestern region of the former USSR, far from the U.S. where I feel comfortable investing. I write it that way to underscore how far away Yandex and Russia and the conflict in Ukraine is from us here in the U.S. and for me here in Alto, N.M. where I am writing this.
Seeing the White House spoke-squirrel dispense trading advice about Russian stocks makes me all the more bullish from a contrarian standpoint, of course. White House spokespeople words are not exactly "objective" or ever meant to be now, are they? At any rate, there's clearly a panicky broader market sell-off in the Russian stock market index and our scuttler was right to point out the potential opportunity for us.
Now let's look at Yandex specifically with what's called "Bottom up analysis" since we just finished what's called "Top down analysis." First off, notice that you can't use Yahoo Finance's Analyst Estimate page for YNDX, because it's not converted back into U.S. dollar figures. But, you can dig down into the actual numbers and see that Yandex has grown their revenue, in U.S. dollars, to more than $1 billion in 2013 and that revenue number is growing about 30% per year.
With YNDX down 40% from its recent highs and not having bounced back nearly as much as the broader Russian stock markets have in the last couple weeks since their initial post-Crimea-takeover crash, its current market cap is $10 billion. Google, which is the leading U.S.-comparable for Yandex, did $170 billion in the last four quarters of sales and that revenue number is growing about 10% per year. GOOG is near its all-time highs and has a market cap right now of $385 billion.
So that means we could buy the "riskier" stock Yandex at a 10x price to sales ratio as the company is growing 33% per year or we could buy Google at a 25x price to sales ratio as the company is growing 10% per year. The P/E difference is similar, as Yandex is trading right now at about 15x next year's earnings estimates while Google's trading at about 25x next year's earnings estimates.
The upshot of all this analysis is that I am indeed willing to take a flyer on some Yandex here as I think the stock will show huge upside over the next few months regardless of what Russia, Ukraine, NATO and the rest of the geopolitical bodies who are causing the current opportunity in Yandex do with each other.
I'm opening up a position in some $YNDX call options by bidding on some call options dated a few months out. If the stock comes back to where it was pre-crisis and/or even is driven higher by strong fundamentals and earnings reports in the meantime, I'll have big gains in this trade. And if the stock crashes from here or even just stagnates, I'll likely lose most of any capital I put into these call options. By using call options with strikes near the current stock price, I'm essentially creating a virtual stop loss from the outset of the trade. That is, if I pay $3 for an August YNDX call option with a strike price of $31, that means I'll have upside exposure as long as the stock is above $34 by next August and that I'd lose all of the capital in those options if the stock were to be below $31 and never get above that before next August. Since you are getting 100 shares for each call option, you're able to use a small amount of capital to get full exposure to any upside over $34 a share. I didn't get filled on any of my order yet. I'll be buying the calls starting Monday next week and will probably keep bidding for them for a few days, as long as the price stays down here.
Remember, if you're considering using options, they have a finite expiration date, you could (and often will) lose all the money you put into an options trade.
And finally, if you're not 100% confident in your ability to make an options trade or just aren't comfortable doing so, you could buy a tiny amount of YNDX common stock and if the stock drops below $27 or so, just sell all of it and thereby try to limit any loss to a minimal 10% from here.

A bankruptcy judge on Wednesday approved a Berks County bank's takeover of Sno Mountain, casting the attraction into uncertain territory.
Judge Jean FitzSimon accepted DFM Realty Inc.'s $4.6 million bid for the 440-acre Scranton skiing and water-park complex, according to trustee Gary Seitz. DFM's parent, National Penn Bank of Boyertown, extended two mortgages to Sno Mountain's owners totaling more than $8.9 million and is the facility's largest secured creditor.
The sale, in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Philadelphia, likely signals an end to the six-year ownership of a group that bought the Montage ski facility from Lackawanna County for $5.1 million in November 2006. The facility rolled up more than $24.2 million in debt before investors rebelled against the former managing partner in October and forced Sno Mountain into Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.
The closing of the sale is scheduled for April 19 in Philadelphia, said Seitz, Sno Mountain's overseer. The facility will continue operations until the ski season concludes later this month, he said.
At the sale closing, he said, DFM must provide almost $1 million in cash to pay delinquent property taxes. Sno Mountain owes the city of Scranton, for instance, more than $357,000 in unspecified taxes, court records show.
Some members of the Philadelphia-area investment group that lost the property, though, are preparing to attempt a second run at ownership.
"They are actively talking to the bank," said Scott Tattar, a spokesman for the group. "They are optimistic that they will remain involved with the mountain when all is said and done."
The successor investment group, Montage Mountain Resorts LLC, bid $4.5 million for the property at an auction last week in Philadelphia and was designated "back-up bidder" in the event the bank does not execute the purchase.
National Penn will sustain a $4.3 million loss in the sale, considering the difference between the value of the mortgages and the purchase price.
"They have had to write off the difference between those two," said Stan Cheslock, a partner at a merchant banking firm in Greenwich, Conn., that specializes in real-estate finance and acquisition. "They have to fairly rapidly come up with an exit plan to present to regulators."
Federal bank regulations require National Penn to dispose of the property, which is considered an impaired asset.
Catharine Bower, a spokeswoman for National Penn, declined to comment.
"Every day the bank owns it, the value goes down," said Bob Ackland, a ski industry consultant and former president of Sugarbush Resort ski area in central Vermont. "The bank is either going to sit on it for a long time, or they are going to have to take another haircut."
The only other bid at the auction was a $1 million offer from a company headed by Arthur Berry III, president and principal owner of Camelback Mountain Resort, a skiing and water park complex in Tannersville.
After submitting the bid last week, Berry hinted at the weak position the bank holds in sale negotiations going forward.
"We are more than willing to discuss with the bank what the future brings," he said. "I don't think we are going to approach them."
Ackland, who predicted two weeks ago that bids at last week's auction would not exceed $6 million, said National Penn may have been better off allowing the $4.5 million from the Sno Mountain investors to prevail.
"The bank must have felt that they could negotiate a better deal somewhere else, and I question that," he said. "Nobody is going to pay more than what the bank has taken it for. They are in for another lesson, I think."
Despite the bank's loss, though, National Penn executives may consider offers from the Sno Mountain investors, Cheslock predicted.
"The bank will certainly deal with them if it is a cash deal," he said. "All money is the same color."
Ackland, though, said Camelback is in a much better position.
"Camelback is well-run," he said. "They know what they can do there and I don't think Camelback is going to pay $4.6 million for it."
Sno Mountain, which will offer $10 ski lift tickets today and Friday, has spent about $850,000 on operations through the ski season and has generated more than $1.7 million in gross revenue, Seitz said.

The rise of the Internet poses significant challenges to daily newspapers, but the threat is more real in television news according to St. Petersburg Times Managing Editor Stephen Buckley.
Buckley spoke Wednesday about the Internet and its impact on the newspaper industry during the Multicultural Festival at Wabash. Click here for photos from the Festival.
"Video is the straw that stirs the Internet's drink these days," Buckley said. "YouTube is the fastest growing site in the history of the Internet. Sixty percent of the videos on the Internet are posted on YouTube.
"The Internet poses a much more urgent threat to television news than to newspapers."
Buckley began by suggesting he was a fan of both the Internet and blogs, but reminded the Wabash audience that rumors, half-truths, and lies spread far more rapidly in the age of the Internet than through normal investigative reporting.
The challenge for newspaper editors and publishers, he said, is to be both immediate and factual, which is one reason his paper, the St. Petersburg Times, has invested more resources in investigative reporting than ever before.
"The immediacy of the Internet is a wonderful blessing, but there are many, many challenges that go with that. Now deadlines are 24 hours a day and seven days a week… Every moment is a deadline," he said.
"Sorting out what's news and what's false is our biggest challenge."
Buckley explained members of his newspaper's staff had uncovered information that suggested embattled Florida Congressman Mark Foley was having inappropriate relationship with a Congressional page a year before the news broke nationally. When the public found out, he said, the newspaper was criticized for not breaking the story.
Buckley's editorial dilemma was the risk of not having enough information to go public. Had the paper done so and been wrong, it would have tarnished the Representative's reputation along with the newspaper's history of good, investigative journalism.
"We're [newspapers] all playing the same game; we're all trying to get the news on our sites as fast as possible. And frankly, the stakes have never been higher.
"Immediacy has its price. Sometimes you put something on your web site and it's wrong," Buckley said.
Newspapers have a history of printing retractions or corrections when they have published inaccurate information. Corrections, he said, are rarely — if ever — made on television news or the Internet.
Buckley also told the audience about the story of Steve Stanton, the former City Manager of Largo, Florida. The St. Petersburg Times learned Stanton was preparing to undergo gender reassignment surgery, but was asked by Stanton to hold the story until he could tell members of his family.
Buckley made the editorial decision to post the story a day later on the newspaper's website, Tampabay.com. Within hours, the story had received over 100,000 hits. The next day it was front-page news.
The public, he said, was critical of the paper "outing" the city manager, who was eventually dismissed from the position he held for 14 years. Buckley defended the decision, saying, "The man was a public employee making $140,000 a year of tax payer money. The public had the right to know.
"It was an easy decision."
Not all editorial decisions are so easy, he said.
"The public is increasingly obsessed with the merely interesting … we're driven to the sexy, the hyper-relevant, and the bizarre," said Buckley when citing a half-dozen pseudo-news headlines from the Internet.
"When should the public good trump public voyeurism? There are no easy answers."
The future of newspapers is sound, according to Buckley, because of the sense of responsibility they have to inform the public and hold government accountable.
"As long as people care about preserving our democracy, newspapers will have a place. Because if newspapers won't look out for the public good, who will?"

|HIV + and cough
Nov 6, 2013
Hi I just started coughing and I am worried. Does every cough mean that its TB or is it possible to be just a cough that can be treated? How do I stop it from turning to TB?
Response from Dr. Henry
You need to be evaluated for cause of your cough. Such an evaluation can include a complete history and physical examination, a chest xray, sputum analysis. In USA most coughs in HIV+ patients would not be due to TB whereas in some areas of the world TB is a much more common cause of a cough in the setting of HIV infection. Symptoms alone are often nonspecific so need a clinical evaluation. KH

Wolves Sign Free Agent Center Greg Stiemsma
The Minnesota Timberwolves today announced the team has signed unrestricted free-agent center Greg Stiemsma to a contract. Per team policy, terms of the contract offer were not disclosed.
"Greg had a fine rookie season for the Boston Celtics and is just beginning to mature as a player," said David Kahn, Timberwolves President of Basketball Operations. "The physical nature of his game and his ability to rebound and block shots will be a welcome addition to our front court."
Stiemsma, 26, spent the 2011-12 season with Boston, averaging 2.9 points, 3.2 rebounds and 1.55 blocks in 55 games, and appeared in 19 playoff games. He ranked 14th in blocked shots per game and second in blocked shots per minute (5.32).
The 6-11 center was previously signed by the Wolves on April 13, 2010 and waived on Sept. 10, 2010. Stiemsma played for the Sioux Falls Skyforce in the NBA D-League in 2009-10, averaging 8.8 points, 7.1 rebounds and 3.6 blocks in 45 games and was named the NBA D-League Defensive Player of the Year.
He appeared in four games for Sioux Falls in 2011 before signing with the Celtics. Stiemsma also played in South Korea in 2009-10 and Turkey in 2008-09 and 2010-11. He was a member of the 2011 USA National Team that won a bronze medal at the Pan-American Games in Guadalajara. The Randolph, Wis., native played collegiately for four years at the University of Wisconsin.

So much has been made about the future of the Eagles' quarterback position even before Nick Foles was felled by a broken collarbone.
And while those questions will only intensify following Sunday night's disastrous loss to the Dallas Cowboys, it's become clear over the course of the season that other positions must be addressed as well for this team to have any realistic chance to contend for a championship.
Thus begins Part I of today's Monday Morning Quarterback, which focuses on what the Eagles must do to set themselves up better for next season.
Make no mistake. That's essentially what the focus should be on now, because even if they do somehow make the playoffs,...

Sickle cell disease (SCD) is an
inherited blood disorder. This means it is passed down from a parent's genes. It causes
the body to make abnormal hemoglobin. This is the protein in red blood cells that
carries oxygen to all parts of your body. When you have SCD, your body's tissues and
organs don't get enough oxygen.
Healthy red blood cells are round and move easily all over the body. With SCD, the red blood cells are hard and sticky. They are shaped like the letter C (and like a farm tool called a sickle). These damaged red blood cells (sickle cells) clump together. They can't move easily through the blood vessels. They get stuck in small blood vessels and block blood flow. This blockage stops the movement of healthy oxygen-rich blood. This blockage can cause pain. It can also damage major organs.
Sickle cells die sooner than healthy cells. Normally the spleen helps filter infections out of the blood. But sickle cells get stuck in this filter and die. Having fewer healthy red blood cells causes anemia. The sickle cells can also damage the spleen. This puts you at greater risk for infections.
Sickle cell is an inherited disease caused by a defect in a gene.
Having a family history of sickle cell disease increases your risk for the disease. SCD mainly affects people whose families came from Africa, and Hispanics whose families are from the Caribbean. But the gene has also been found in people whose families are from the Middle East, India, Latin America, and Mediterranean countries. It has also been found in Native American Indians.
Each person's symptoms may vary. They may be mild or severe. Symptoms may include:
The symptoms of SCD may look like other blood disorders or health problems. Always see your healthcare provider for a diagnosis.
Your healthcare provider will take
your health history and give you a physical exam. You may also have blood tests and
other tests.
Many states routinely screen newborns for sickle cell. This allows treatment to begin as soon as possible. Early diagnosis and treatment can reduce the risk of problems.
A blood test called hemoglobin electrophoresis may be done. It can tell if you are a carrier of sickle cell. It can also tell if you have any of the diseases linked with the sickle cell gene.
Treatment will depend on your symptoms, age, and general health. It
will also depend on how severe the condition is.
Early diagnosis and preventing
further problems is critical in treating SCD. Treatment goals include preventing organ
damage (including strokes), preventing infection, and treating symptoms. Treatment may
SCD can affect any major organ. The liver, heart, kidneys, gallbladder, eyes, bones, and joints can all be damaged. They suffer damage from the abnormal function of the sickle cells and their inability to flow through the small blood vessels correctly. Problems may include:
SCD is an ongoing (chronic) condition. You may not be able to fully prevent the complications of this disease. But living a healthy lifestyle can reduce some of the problems. This includes doing things such as:
Stay away from things that may
trigger a crisis, such as:
Prevent infections by:

The nation's largest boat owners group wants every American to enjoy some festive holiday cheer on the waterfront with the offering of a new online Holiday Boat Parade Finder at BoatUS.com/Events. The website lets anyone easily seek out local lighted boat parades by state or specific date, and includes website links and contact information. There's also an easy way to add a listing for a boat parade that's not already included.
"Watching a slow parade of boats - each one decorated and lit up brighter than a Christmas tree - is spectacular, and something the kids won't forget," said BoatUS spokesman Scott Croft. "Many holiday boat parades also tie into local festivals, so these events aren't just for the boater in the family."
Croft also mentioned that Santa Claus often appears at boat parades because, "the North Pole is frozen all year long and these parades are his only chance to get out on the water." Croft also refused to speculate on whether Santa prefers powerboating or sailing. "Representing over half a million boaters who own all types of recreational vessels, I'll kindly decline comment, but I encourage you to go to your local boat parade to find out," he added.

Q: We have a 2-1/2-year-old who used to be a good eater. She was always fussy but still ate a pretty healthy diet. That's all changed over the last few weeks. She now only eats potato chips, cookies and ice cream. We have tried bribery, punishment and even starvation. That is, we let her go through breakfast and lunch some days with no food because she refuses to eat anything healthy. So then we'll give in and give her some of the junk food she insists on eating so she won't starve as she's crying and crying that she's hungry. It's heartbreaking and we're worried about her. Is this just a stage? Any suggestions?
A: This really isn't about diet; it's a power struggle. Your daughter has learned that if she doesn't eat healthy food, she will get junk food. Yes, it takes a while, but she's willing to wait you out as she knows you'll eventually give in.
She's trained you very well.
Toddlers have so little control over their lives that the stubborn ones often use food as a way of controlling their parents. If the parents give in with food, it can soon spread to other issues, like bedtime, potty training, etc.
She's very young but can understand that if she eats something healthy, she will get a small treat.
Don't bother trying to educate her on the importance of a healthy diet. Just keep it plain and simple: "If you eat your fruit and yogurt, you can then have a cookie."
The more negotiations and dialogue you allow yourself to be pulled into, the weaker you will appear to her. You've already explained yourself, she knows what's going on, and it's now up to her.
Stay calm and in control and if she starts crying, offer her the yogurt (or whatever you've chosen as her healthy food).
If she doesn't want it and starts throwing a tantrum then that's her choice. She'll soon realize you mean business and will start eating healthy food again.
In the meantime, don't worry about her starving. Toddlers do not starve themselves to death. They may starve themselves to get their own way, but once they realize that's not an option, they will give up and eat.

Operators impressed by the ease of use
Located in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, the company ProTech, a client of Graco distributor, Euroblast Middle East LLc, is specialised in protective coating applications with e.g. two component polyurethane and Polyurea materials. The GRACO Reactor™ has just recently become an important member of the ProTech production team. The focus is polyurea materials applied in the United Arab Emirates in Dubai to protect big concrete tank and water reservoirs for different municipalities.
As the Reactor™ totally heats the hoses from the unit to the gun, it saves ProTech a great deal in Polyurea costs, compared to competitive equipment used before. The GRACO Fusion™ guns require minimal stopping, resulting in time and labour savings. Operators welcome a trouble-free disassembling of the fluid lowers when servicing. On top of this, the ease of use made the unit fully accepted by the ProTech staff in a short time frame.
The application data
Model Reactor™ & accessories:
Part number : 246 032
Heated hoses : 2 lengths of 15 m whip end 3 m
Fusion™ gun: air purge with round pattern Mix chamber kit AR2929 & AR4242
Supply pumps package: complete Husky™ 716 package (part number: 246375)
ProTech's expectations for the application equipment that they use, is of high standard in order for successful completion of their projects in time. With this philosophy in mind, ProTech aligned themselves with the Reactor™ spray equipment from GRACO

Kevin Colden Still Rules the Night
It's a weird companion piece to Morrison's "Batman" run, and as of page 29, I have no idea where it's headed next. But it is good, indeed.
6 comments:
- Kris Krause said...
I picked up Colden's Fishtown based on your glowing review, and I very much enjoyed it, so naturally I have also been keeping up with I Rule the Night. I tend to read it in big chunks every now and then instead of continually waiting for every new update because I remember there being some serious delays on it around page 11. How often does it update now?
- Zom said...
Sounds great. Quite excited about reading it actually.
I want *not* to be skeptical about Zuda.
It occurs to me that if you like weird companion pieces to Morrison's Batman, and if you haven't already, that you should check out Amy Poodle's Batman 666 scripts.
They're flavoured with Morrison, for sure, but ultimately they're like nothing else I've ever read. Personally I think they're really, really good, and it seems that quite a few of our readers think so too.
Sorry, shameless pimping, but I genuinely think you might have fun.
- Timothy Callahan said...
Kris--I don't know the update schedule, as I've been reading it in chunks as well.
Zom--I have been sampling some of the Batman 666 scripts, but I really actively dislike reading scripts, so I can't bring myself to finish any of them. That is a deep character flaw, I'm afraid.
- Zom said...
Completely understandable. It's a bugger that Amy didn't stick with the cartooning when he was a teenager. He was rather good, from what I can remember.
Thanks again for this. I've been itching for someone I respect to recommend some Zuda product. It just looks like a big pile of homogenous stuff when you don't have anyone to give you some pointers. Looking forward to having a read tonight.

You don't cry over spilled milk, as they say. You clean it up.
The Brooklyn Nets are about to do just that, as they are finalizing a deal to make Lionel Hollins their new head coach just four days after the Jason Kidd saga that led to their job opening was first revealed.
Two people with knowledge of the negotiation told USA TODAY Sports that Hollins' deal could be done Wednesday. The people spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the private nature of the talks.
The deal was finalized and announced by the Nets' Twitter account shortly before 3 p.m. ET.
Hollins hasn't been on the sidelines since late May of 2013, when his Memphis Grizzlies made franchise history by reaching the Western Conference Finals for the first time and Hollins received so much well-deserved praise for playing the biggest of parts. He is a more proven and widely-respected coach than the one who headed for the exits in the most abrupt of ways after just one season and is now the head coach of the Milwaukee Bucks.
His fourth full season as Grizzlies head coach was his best, as the stern-yet-savvy Hollins headed a group that — with Tony Allen, Zach Randolph, Marc Gasol, Mike Conley and the rest executing his system to near-perfection — had the league's second best defense (97.4 points allowed per 100 possessions).The age-old "philosophical differences" got in the way of him returning on a contract not long after, and Hollins had lost out to a coach in Dave Joerger (his then lead assistant coach) who had a more compatible relationship with Memphis' new management.
ANGST:Kidd broke unwritten rule
NETS: Bring in two picks for Kidd
That last part happens all the time in the NBA. New owners (in this case the 36-year-old Robert Pera) and new management (since-fired CEO Jason Levien, who was leading a front office for the first time) often want the satisfaction and comfort that comes with pulling the trigger on the head coaching hire. There's an invaluable element of trust that often comes with the coach and the front office having made the conscious choice to work with one another at the start, one that's hard to replicate if the respective timelines don't happen to coincide.
Hollins, who logged 10 seasons as an NBA player, 17 as an an NBA assistant coach and got his first head coaching opporunity in 1999 in Vancouver, not only had a generational gap to bridge with his new bosses but an unfortunate run of sound bites that ultimately did him in. He seriously questioned the analytics movement that was at the epicenter of the new Grizzlies' group's ethos, then reacted to the controversial Rudy Gay trade to Toronto in Jan. 2013 by saying, "When you have a champagne taste, you can't be on a beer budget." Pera wasn't too pleased with the comment, to stay the least, but the beauty of it all for Hollins is that those elements are clearly not a concern in his new landing spot.
The Nets, who salvaged their lone season under Kidd by getting to the second round of the playoffs but still fell well short of their championship aspirations, are nothing if not mature and willing to spend. Hollins should fit well with the oldie-but-goodie veterans like Kevin Garnett (who has one year left on his contract), Joe Johnson (two years left) and Andrei Kirilenko (one year remaining), guys who are surely thirsting for a no-nonsense approach after all the silliness that came with Kidd last season.
He'll get a point guard in Deron Williams who is not only badly in need of a bounce back year but whose days of clashing with his coach (see Jerry Sloan, Utah) appear to be behind him. And, of course, he'll become part of the roster-building conversation with the Nets' inclusive front office that's headed by Billy King.
The Nets still have work to do if they want to have a prayer against the rest of the Eastern Conference, especially now that their invaluable point guard, Shaun Livingston, has signed with Golden State Warriors as a free agent. There's the matter of Paul Pierce's future that's also unresolved, as he is a free agent and is being widely courted at the moment.
But it all gets a little easier once Hollins is officially in the fold. No more spilled water cups that spark all the wrong kinds of headlines. No more nonsense with assistant coaches like Lawrence Frank who, as was the case with Kidd, were paid so handsomely at his behest ($1 million annually) only to get demoted when the ego-clashing chaos began.
Hollins is a professional coach who will lead these professional players. It doesn't mean the lofty goals of owner Mikhail Prokhorov will be met, but it does mean his talent will likely be maximized. The Nets' floor is about to be clean again.

Church and Culture, 8
But now I'm a Christian. And all around me, I see the remains of the music wars that preceded me. There are the scars and tenuously held together congregations that split or nearly split. There are services traditional and contemporary. There are the die-hards that organize their small little ranks for raiding parties, surprise attacks at this or that members' meeting before running back to cover. It's an interesting new world to me.
I'm a professed ignoramus when it comes to music and the history of music, but I'm committed to learning... and by God's grace am doing so. So, this post is less opinion or guidance and more an invitation to discussion. How does what we've said thus far about the two cultures (God's and man's) shape something like music selection and singing in the gathered church?
A few preliminary thoughts/questions that I'd love your counsel, correction, response to, etc.
1. I'm a regulative principle kind of guy. Does the two cultures view require that? If not, why not and how do we discern where we are in this tension between the cultures of God and man?
2. I think there is greater priority for the church gathering together as one body over the local church segregating itself into different services based upon music styles. That seems to me to cede way too much over to the culture of man. Surely our preferences for something like music should not be determinant when it comes to when and how we gather?
3. Culturally speaking, does our two cultures view argue for a "mere" expression of cultural/ethnic distinctives in the public services (especially in areas quite diverse)? Is less actually more on this point? My sense is that simpler musical forms and less cultural distinctiveness (or at least some attention to balance) make the public service more permeable. Is that true of anyone else's experience? How are folks striking "balance" on this if at all?
Let me know what you think. I'm a neophyte in this arena and therefore am tremendously blessed to be colaboring with a worship pastor like Dave Jorge!

Priority in music....assuming always to glorify God of course...keep it on the folksy side as a "let's worship together" as opposed to a fine arts approach with the awe and attention being drawn to the music instead of the Lord...my 2 cents...I 'll see you in Minneapolis brother!!

My experience with worship music of all types has typically been "we were here first and we call the tunes...if you don't like it, there's no one stopping you from worshipping elsewhere".
This is one area that does not seem permeable in any American congregation that I've seen - regardless of the dominant ethnicities which comprise the church body.
GREAT series!
- Andrew Chapman said...
This is the corrected comment - I pressed Preview to look at my previous one but it went straight to moderation.
I think the use of musical instruments in church is probably a fairly recent innovation and in its current form a dangerous one because it can stimulate the heart and soul rather than the spirit and mind of a man. John Wesley and Charles Spurgeon are two examples of mighty men of God who would not allow musical instruments in church. See http://www.letgodbetrue.com/bible/church/musical-instruments-in-church.htm for information. I allow it myself as it happens but only with the thought that it can help us to worship the Lord together and isn't specifically prohibited in the scriptures. It may even be enjoined : ψαλλω, which does normally mean playing a musical instrument or singing to musical accompaniment, is used in James 5 v 13 and 1 Corinthians 14 v 15 and in Ephesians 5 v 19, but in this last case where it is distinguished from αδω to sing, it is then qualified by 'in your hearts'. At any rate it would appear that from a very early date the church considered it to be a feature of the old covenant and not the new (maybe there was some anti-semitic replacement theology involved here?). So I am in two minds as you can see!
What is very clear to me from 1 Timothy 2 vv 1-2 is that the assemblies of the saints must begin with prayer and intercession rather than with praise. Praise follows victory in our prayer.Hallelujah! Sorry about the long comment - I got in deeper than I anticipated. Shalom, Andrew

If you've been experiencing increased tiredness, reduced energy, increased stress, weight gain, reduced sex drive, or a general lack of positive feeling, then perhaps your pH balance is not where it should be. If this is the case, then you might want to consider your options for getting your health back on track. Perhaps a acid alkaline diet plan is just the answer you are looking for.
What is body pH?
Before you rush off to try and develop an acid alkaline diet, it's important that you understand how the body operates with regard to pH. The pH level is the measurement that is used to determine how much acid and how much alkaline is present in your body.
The average human body is supposed to have a pH balance slightly over 7, which indicates that it is slightly alkaline. In the event that the pH balance drops below 7, the body will become more acidic which is not the condition that you want your body to be in.
If you're body is more acidic than alkaline, then you are more susceptible to the following conditions:
- Obesity
- Decreased physical energy
- Stress
- Tiredness
- Frequent sickness
At this point the goal will be to become more alkaline than acidic which help provide your body with the balance needed to in order to become healthier and happier. There are a number of things you need to look at if your pH balance is tipped the wrong way.
Are you eating right?
The pH balance in the human body can be greatly affected by the foods that are consumed. If you are consuming foods that are unhealthy, then you are more likely to have a pH balance that is more acidic. Foods that are loaded with saturated fat, preservatives, and other harmful substances can increase the levels of acid in your body when consumed. If those levels are not counterbalanced with other items that are highly alkaline, then your pH level will drop toward the acidic side.
Stick to healthier alkaline food items.
One effective strategy for promoting a healthier body that contains more alkaline than acid is to eat healthier food items such as vegetables, fruits that are low in sugar, and many other food items that do not contain harmful ingredients. The acid alkaline diet will be most effective if it consists of 80 percent foods that are alkaline and 20 percent or less foods that are acidic.
There are a number of other strategies outside of the acid alkaline diet that you can turn to in order to help create a healthier body. One thing that you can do is eliminate any bad habits that can leading to a less than optimal pH balance. Smoking is one bad habit that can increase the level of acid the body along with excessive alcohol consumption.
Improving the body pH balance through an effective acid alkaline diet is a great way to improve overall health and get the body back on track once more.

Yuzu (柚子/ゆず) is an unique citrus fruit which has the strong refreshing aroma of a grapefruit but will remind you of lemon. It is widely used in Japanese cuisine, both juice and zest, for garnish and also flavouring. It has the similar role as a lemon, rarely eaten as a fruit but commonly used in seasoning and flavouring both savory dishes and desserts.
I received a home-grown yuzu a few days ago was not sure what to do with it until yesterday, decided to make it into a cake. Many traditional Japanese desserts are yuzu infused with either yuzu powder (ground dried yuzu peel) or fresh yuzu, and I like the aroma very much. Why not try it out with a rolled cake?
I was pleased with the end product, the combination of soft sponge cake and yuzu cream was just superb (pretend you did not see those cracks). In fact, the yuzu aroma was not very strong but a sip of black coffee after a bite of cake will enhance the aroma. Thus, I suggest it is served with a drink that is not too sweet, best with black coffee or tea.
I thought the cake can be a little thicker, will make with 4 eggs next time. What do you think? This long roll can be cut into 10 to 12 pieces, too much for us so brought some to my boy's friends in the kindergarten. Home baking with simple ingredient, just realised that the ingredient list is quite short.
Ingredients (23cm x 33cm tray x 1):
- 175 g sponge cake mix
- 3 nos. large egg (+/-170g without shell)
- 50 g yuzu juice + water (juice of 1 yuzu)
- 40 g vegetable oil
- Zest of a yuzu
- 180 ml non-dairy fresh cream
- 150 g yuzu jam (or marmalade)
- Cake: Combine sponge cake mix, egg and water (juice) in a mixing bowl. Whisk until fluffy and the colour turned pale. Stir in oil and yuzu peel.
- Transfer batter into baking tray lined with baking paper, tap the tray lightly on kitchen bench to release trapped air bubbles, if any.
- Bake in preheated oven at 180C for 15 to 20 minutes.
- Cover loosely with a damp cloth, cool completely.
- Cream: Whisk cream until light and fluffy (when the whisk is lifted, a short horn is seen). Stir yuzu jam well, then add into the cream. Mix well. Ready to use.
- Assemble: Line table with kitchen towel or baking sheet, place cake on it then make a few horizontal slits on the cake (on the creaming side). Apply cream then roll up together with the help of kitchen towel lengthwise.
- Keep rolled cake in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.
Cook's note:
- Keep mixing bowl in the freezer for 10 minutes before preparing the cream, it will be easier to whisk up the cream.
- If using ground yuzu peel / yuzu powder, please use as directed on the product's label.
- Gentle reminder, do remember to make a few slits on the cake before applying cream, to prevent cracking when rolling up. I forgot about it so the cake cracked at the side a little.
Looking back at my own Matcha Rolled Cake recipe, my elder son's photo reminded me that I am getting older. Again. This is how he looks like now, soon he will become a young man and I will be an old lady then.

Defying the usual cacophony of sound, visitors & domestic detritus typical of our weekends, I managed to squirrel away some time for the blog yesterday. H U R R A H !
To update you briefly, I've been following the work of a few inspirational artists & makers whose unfussy approach to design has helped to liberate our tiny closet space & reaffirm my 'built to last' philosophy when contemplating new purchases.
The organic textures & neutral palettes of Jesse Kamm, Jujumade, Black Crane, Bandelier & Tracy Wilkinson have all been on my radar. Ironically, they are all based in California...where I'm campaigning we move to - so it's a sign, right!?
Working with ceramics & leather, Juliana Hung of Jujumade crafts a range of beautiful, playful wearables including bangles, necklaces & bags.

How we created our sign:
When it came down to it we were really struggling to create a quality sign for our shop. In the end I decided on using large letters made of metal to create the appeal we were after. The other option was going directly through gemini but this didn't seem like the best choice given the service I got.
You can also try plastic but it doesn't offer the durability and appeal of metal. The choice is yours, let us know if you have any questions!
