McManus leaves as Minneapolis police chief
McManus' first term was due to end at the end of this year. And the city council was in the process of reappointing him. However, McManus had recently expressed feelings of job insecurity, and had said he was considering his options.
Last week, McManus played his cards close to his vest when talking about the opportunity in Texas.
"San Antonio is a nice city. It's a large city. I'm not just jumping at anything that comes down the pike," McManus said last week. "Again, this is the only opportunity that I had looked at in a number that have crossed my path in the last five or six months."
Mayor R.T. Rybak says he's sorry to see McManus leave, but he was not caught off guard. Rybak says he began preparing for the possibility of losing the chief a few weeks ago.
Rybak says he's been developing a succession plan to ensure that the department runs smoothly while the city looks for another chief.
"I've been meeting with and speaking with councilmembers and their staffs over the past couple of weeks as this became a possibility," says Rybak. "We have, I think, a good clear consensus as where to move on that. I think everybody recognizes that we have to keep continuity and keep the focus on public safety."
Rybak says his succession plan will focus on internal candidates. Some say Assistant Chief Tim Dolan is a natural choice for interim chief, since he already has experience handling day-to-day matters for McManus.
Rybak wouldn't speculate on who the interim will be, but he says he says there are good prospects within the department.
"Chief McManus brought some fresh energy and some good new ideas into the department, and helped us launch some new intiatives that were best done with someone with a fresh perspective," says Rybak. "Right now what we need to do is complete that work, and we have some great leadership within the department."
McManus received a favorable performance review after his first year as chief. Councilmembers gave him high marks for his visibility in the community and for his work to diversify the upper ranks of the department. In June 2005 he promoted two African Americans to the ranks of inspector and deputy chief.
City councilmember Don Samuels says he's devastated by the loss of McManus. Samuels represents the 5th Ward in north Minneapolis, where several neighborhoods are hotspots for crime. He says McManus had the confidence of many of his constituents.
Samuels says the qualities that made him popular in Minneapolis were bound to attract others.
"I totally understand that a chief that has the profile as a forward-looking chief of the future would be in high demand, and people would be lined up to seduce him with very attractive offers," says Samuels. "I understand that, and I think it's one of the prices you pay for getting somebody like that."
But some say it wasn't so much that McManus was lured away as he was pushed out. Some members of the Police Community Relations Council -- the group of community leaders and police officials charged with implementing a federally mediated agreement formed in 2003 -- blame Mayor R.T. Rybak.
The Rev. Ian Bethel is one of the co-chairs of the PCRC, and says he considers McManus a friend. He says he advised McManus to leave Minneapolis because of the political climate.
"What we have is a result of Mayor Rybak not being as straightforward as he should have been immediately after his reelection, and during the campaign process," says Bethel.
Fellow PCRC member Ron Edwards agrees with Bethel's assessment. He says he believes the relationship between the mayor and chief began to go south after Rybak was reelected last November.
Edwards says he attended a meeting with the mayor and the chief right after the election. He says members of the PCRC asked the mayor if he was ready to reappoint Chief McManus.
"In that meeting in which William McManus was present, the mayor very coldly and calculatingly, indicated that that was a premature discussion and consideration at that point," says Edwards.
Edwards says the remark seemed to stun McManus.
Mayor Rybak says he remembers the meeting very differently.
"He had support here, behind closed doors and in public. And the chief chose to leave in spite of the fact that he had strong support from me and from others," Rybak says. "I wish him well, I enjoyed working with him. But I do think we have very good leadership and can keep moving."
Rybak is expected to name his choice for interim chief very soon. The interim chief will serve for 90 days while the city begins its search for a new chief.

Are you the sort of person that enjoys being both hyperactive and depressed simultaneously? Well, I have a bit of bad news for you. On Friday, the Food and Drug Administration killed the buzz of underage drinkers around the country by threatening to ban alcoholic energy drinks from the market. According to the New York Times:
Top federal food regulators threatened on Friday to ban caffeinated alcoholic drinks unless their makers quickly proved that the beverages were safe.
In a statement, the Food and Drug Administration said it had told nearly 30 manufacturers of the drinks that unless they could provide clear evidence of safety, it would "take appropriate action to ensure that the products are removed from the marketplace."
Well, considering those drinks contain, you know, ALCOHOL, I doubt very much that the manufacturers of products such as Joose (it should come in jooseboxes!) and Wide Eye (Hey, I need that to study!) will be able to prove their wholesomeness.
This potential ban has been a long time coming. Ever since the advent of Red Bull and vodka, alcohol and extreme energy drinks have had a cozy relationship, particularly among college students. Now, drinks like Joose have cut out the middleman and combined the two into a single product. Their attempts to appeal to underage drinkers are obvious. Just look at a can of Joose. It looks like the bottom of a skateboard, for crying out loud. Go to the official Joose Twitter feed and you'll see the first thing noted about the drink is its 9.9% alcohol content, along with tweets such as "this just in... joose makes ones own self crazy!" You are not likely to see this product featured in Wine Spectator any time soon.
Time magazine notes that many of these drinks contain as much caffeine as a venti cup of Starbucks (the chain's largest size). A study done by a Wake Forest doctor has shown that mixing alcohol and energy drinks (or having them together in one product) increases a college student's risk of sexual assault and other alcohol-related consequences. Alcohol and caffeine mixed together have also been linked to heart rhythm problems.
Already, giant beermakers Miller and Anheuser-Busch have agreed to stop making their own brands of alcoholic energy drinks (Sparks, B to the E, Tilt). If you take these products off the market, many kids are still going to go right ahead and mix alcohol and energy drinks together, as they have with Red Bull and vodka. But the FDA clearly hopes this ban will keep at least a handful of kids away from mixing the two, steering them back to the relative safety of plain old Colt .45.

Product Review: The Tape Tiger by 3M Hockey
Hi folks! The following is a product review done by friend of the blog, Rob Cunning. Rob is a software developer at Thinkingbox, an Athletic Therapist working out of the Langley/Vancouver BC area, and also my brother. He formerly was the AT for the Mt.Royal University Cougars men's hockey team, and Trinity Western University Spartans men's soccer team and men's & women's volleyball teams. He also played a little puck for Trinity Western University of the BCIHL, and some baseball for the University of Calgary Dinos, Kelowna Jays, Kwantlen Eagles and Burnaby Bulldogs too.
That all being said, Rob recently reviewed 3M's Tape Tiger, a new hockey tape removal device, and below are his findings. Enjoy!
Follow @davecunningFollow @FlexMasterRobFollow @thinkingbox_Follow @3MNews
The Rob Report:
The Tape Tiger by 3M Hockey
The Tape Tiger is a new device from 3M's Elite Series of hockey products, and is highly effective for easing the hassle of tape removal from a player's hockey stick blade.
After using it, I was reminded of the "Shark" tape cutter, a tool Athletic Therapists use to remove tape from an athlete's taped body part – a great tool which we use often in our field.
Upon using the Tape Tiger, I found that it removed hockey tape well, and did not leave any cut marks on the blade afterwards. Also, it did not matter which side of the blade I cut on, it was effectively removed the tape from both faces. However, I think it would be easier to remove tape from the backhand side of more curved blades with this tool, in my opinion.
The Tape Tiger was also able to cut through multiple layers of tape, for those who like to double-wrap (inexcusable, by the way), and have inadvertently thickened their tape removal problem.
It was really easy to cut fresh/more recent tape off of a blade with the Tape Tiger, however it did have some difficulty removing older tape (tape on a stick for 1+ years, maybe from that stick in your basement you haven't re-taped since minor hockey, for example). That being said, it did get the job done in the end.
If ever necessary, the Tape Tiger's blade may be a bit time consuming to change, as you have to unscrew it from the body in order to facilitate replacement. Once it's unscrewed though, the replacement process is pretty easy – it only requires the user to slide the old blade out, slide a new one in its place, and retighten. However, treat it right and its stainless steel blade should serve you well for many seasons before any maintenance is required.
The deluxe version (which I demo'ed) comes equipped with a few handy little extras that the original version does not include:
1) A stone for removing burrs and nicks from skate blades – perfect to tune up an edge in a pinch when you've lost one mid-game and a trip to the hockey shop for a sharpening is out of the question.
2) A lace tightener – which is useful, but not something I'd use. Perhaps it would be useful for a younger player still learning to tie their skates, or someone who struggles to tie their skates tight enough, but personally I can tie my skates well enough with my hands at this point. But again, useful if a scenario calls for it.
3) The lace tightener also triples as a bottle opener and a flathead screwdriver–great for beer league hockey, or any sort of post game celebration in the dressing room; and for when some knucklehead brings bottles into the dressing room instead of cans for the post-game.
4) The screwdriver is perfect for tightening or removing helmet screws, and possibly skate screws depending on which brand of skates you own.
5) There's also a key ring thrown into this Swiss-Army knife-like mix, for, you know, attaching your keys to.
Overall, the Tape Tiger is a great device that does exactly what it says it does – quickly and easily removes hockey tape from a stick blade. Plus, it provides extra tools for situations that all hockey players encounter at some point and need a tool for. It's especially great for players who already lug around toolbox worth of gadgets in their bag and could use some consolidation. However, if you have one of these, you run the risk of either becoming that guy with all the weird tools in his bag, or else the guy who never gets to use his own sweet stuff because everyone's always borrowing it. It would be an asset to any team's equipment manager too.
I rate this product as a buy. Pick one up at your local Canadian Tire next time you're in one and chuck it in your hockey bag.

At the Kosher Gym in Brooklyn, NY, the Orthodox Jewish members and staff dress modestly, religious music plays, men and women exercise in separate areas of the club, and all High Holy Days are observed by closing the club. These practices are in keeping with the members' and the current owners' religious beliefs and customs. However, some of these practices will change once the club's new owners, a national chain, soon takes over, possibly opening the club to a broader clientele.
Yehuda Fulda and Ori Kahn, co-owners of Kosher Gym, would not disclose which national chain is buying Kosher Gym, other than that it's a club company that caters to women-only gyms. In a letter sent on July 30 to members, Fulda and Kahn stated that the new owners would continue with separate facilities and classes for men and women but that business hours would expand to Saturdays (the day of Sabbath in the Jewish religion) and to Jewish holidays. Furthermore, the owners warned of other changes, including different background music, promotional advertisements and immodestly dressed staff members that go against the beliefs of the club's members. The changes are making many members of the facility unhappy, but the owners say they had to sell because they have lost millions of dollars since they bought the club five years ago.
Kosher Gym represents just one example of how religion can play a role in the programming and operation of a fitness facility, creating sometimes difficult issues for members and operators. As the Jewish New Year approaches, as colleges and universities begin a new school year in which different cultures are embraced, and as Christian-based organizations struggle with whether to rely on faith-based marketing, some club owners are facing how to balance the religious and cultural foundation of their businesses with the need to make a profit in a tough economy.
Jewish Culture
Fulda and Kahn attracted 4,000 members, but the two still lost about $2.5 million since purchasing the facility five years ago. They sold the club for about $2 million. Fulda says buying the gym, which charges $18 per month after an initial payment of $299, was a mistake.
"It became a lot more work and involvement than we had anticipated, and it was not worth our time," Fulda says. "It's very hard for us to run that one club properly with all the staff we need and still make money."
In the July letter, Fulda and Kahn advised members to bring their own entertainment "or just don't look" at the staff members and posters that will be displayed in the gym once the new owners take over. Members who disagree with the impending changes and who want to cancel their membership will not be released from their annual contracts, Fulda says.
However, he says that the only members complaining about the changes are those with whom he has had problems in the past. Fulda says these members are "disgruntled."
"All things being equal, [maintaining Orthodox principles] is nice to have, but if it can't be done, it can't be done. Nobody is forcing them to go on Saturdays," Fulda says.
Some Jewish Community Centers (JCCs) are also getting away from certain cultural practices that are based on religious beliefs in an attempt to appeal to a broader market. Anthony Slayen, a health and fitness consultant with the JCC Association, says that JCCs are open to the entire community, and each JCC is sensitive to the needs and requirements of the specific communities they serve.
"Since JCCs are independent entities, they establish their own policies about the hours that they're open and kosher guidelines," Slayen says. The membership of JCCs depends to some extent on the demographics of the areas where they are located.
"All JCCs," Slayen adds, "offer a wealth of Jewish programming, which is available to anyone who wants to participate. One of the hallmarks of the JCC movement is its inclusiveness and welcoming environment."
Some JCCs have a high percentage of non-Jewish members. Club One, San Francisco, manages three JCCs in the San Francisco area, one in Minneapolis and the fitness center at the St. Louis JCC. Tom Nelson, vice president of community centers for Club One, says that 40 percent of the members of one San Francisco-area JCC are from non-Jewish households while about half of the members at the other two JCCs are not Jewish. By comparison, membership at the Minneapolis JCC is about 15 percent non-Jewish, Nelson says.
Many of the San Francisco-area JCCs that Club One manages still observe the Jewish High Holy Days but members can work out at an area Club One at no charge on those days, says Club One CEO Jim Mizes. Members of Club One can also work out at the area JCCs on Christmas Day when Club One is closed.
Muslim Faith
Much like the Kosher Gym case involving Orthodox Jews, the Muslim faith and culture have challenged the operations of fitness facilities.
Two years ago at Fitness USA in Lincoln Park, MI, Muslim women who had joined the for-profit club because it offered gender-specific days were alarmed by the fact that men, who were allowed to work out in a special annex on women-only days, could still see the women working out. The issue was resolved when the club agreed to frost the glass walls of the Cardio Zone room and install large poster panels to block visibility from the coed area to the exercise floor.
A manager at the Fitness USA club recently said that the frosted glass walls are still in place and that the club has experienced no problems from members, Muslim or otherwise, who use the facility.
Last winter, a controversy began at Harvard University, which designated women-only hours at its Quadrangle Recreational Athletic Center (QRAC) for six hours a week to accommodate Muslim women. A group of Muslim women had asked the university for the special hours, which went into effect in February, despite the criticisms of students who wrote opinion pieces in the Harvard Crimson student newspaper.
Harvard spokesperson Robert Mitchell said at the time that Harvard frequently receives special requests from religious groups, and that the university attempts to honor them whenever possible. The policy was up for review at the end of the semester, and as of press time, Mitchell did not know whether the QRAC, which was scheduled to re-open Sept. 15, would continue to allow Muslim women to work out there during special hours.
Kent Blumenthal, the executive director of the National Intramural-Recreational Sports Association (NIRSA), says he is unaware of a similar situation taking place at another college or university. At the time of the controversy, Blumenthal said in an Associated Press article that Harvard's position was "contrary to the purpose of campus recreation programs, which is all about access." In a later interview with Club Industry's Fitness Business Pro, Blumenthal clarified his statement.
"I firmly believe that every institution is different," Blumenthal says. "They take the pulse of the student needs and interests and demographics. They come to their own conclusions as to what's needed for that particular campus."
"In speaking to colleagues in how they have dealt with similar types of situations," Blumenthal adds, "whether it's individuals with disabilities or perhaps others with certain cultural values that they bring into the fitness place, they bend over backwards to accommodate and not put a majority or most of the students at a disadvantage."
Christian Beliefs
The clash of religious beliefs and cultural practices with the operation of fitness facilities isn't as great in the Christian faith as in some of the examples in the Jewish and Muslim faiths. However, this group also is experiencing a change.
The number of church-based fitness facilities has grown over the past few years. An estimated 20,000 Southern Baptist churches have fitness facilities. In addition, some facilities aren't church based, but they still have a Christian mission. Lord's Gym, Roseville, CA, is a nonprofit organization that has 12 locations in the United States plus one in Mexico and one in American Somoa. The logo of Lord's Gym depicts Jesus Christ with a cross on his back that bears the words "the sin of the world." Lord's Gym promotes Christian beliefs and family values, and says its mission is to "move people closer to the Lord and to reach the lost at any cost."
For some veterans in the industry, mixing religion and fitness doesn't make sound business sense. Casey Conrad, president of Communications Consultants, says the risk is too great for clubs to use religion as a way to attract or retain members.
"With the hyper-competitiveness of our current marketplace, I think that any club operator — unless you live in an area where there is an incredible density of that particular religion, and the population is interested in buying the health club memberships — I think you are going to commit suicide," Conrad says. "If adding religion to health clubs was such a successful idea, I think it already would have been done by now."
Brad Bloom, publisher of Faith and Fitness magazine, agrees that if a club is going to emphasize religion, it likely will turn off its members. However, Bloom says, a club would do right by attempting to use faith as a way to reach out to potential members.
"Whether club owners realize it or not, [faith] plays a role in the lives of members," Bloom says. "In my opinion, club owners are at an advantage if they recognize that from the very beginning and adjust the way they do business according to that understanding. It would be like ignoring that people are coming into your club with concerns about heart conditions or about losing weight."
The possibility of turning off people may be one reason that many YMCAs and YWCAs, both founded on Christian beliefs, have moved away from their religious missions in order to appeal to a broader market. The YW does business as the YWCA of the USA and not the Young Women's Christian Association, says Katie Peltier, communications and marketing associate for the YWCA of the USA.
"We believe that being an inclusive organization allows us to further our mission of eliminating racism and empowering women," Peltier says.
The YMCA of the USA did not respond to requests seeking input for this story. However, the Y, founded in 1844, has altered its mission statement over the years. In 1963, the Y's mission statement read: "The YMCA we regard as being in its essential genius a worldwide fellowship united by common loyalty to Jesus Christ for the purpose of developing Christian personality and building Christian society."
By 1987, the Y changed its mission statement, dropping the reference to Jesus Christ. The statement of the Y is "to put Christian principles into practice through programs that build healthy spirit, mind and body for all."
Reflecting on this change, Bloom says that the Y has gotten away from its Christian roots.
"If a YMCA is that ashamed of embracing what Christianity is all about, just call yourself a Y, but don't associate with the name 'Christian,'" Bloom says. "I really think they're doing a disservice to the Christian faith. They're missing opportunities by not celebrating what they have."
Conrad agrees that the Y has lost its identity.
"If you asked 100 people on the street what YMCA stands for, they'd probably say, 'The band,'" says Conrad, referring to the Village People hit "Y.M.C.A." "I don't think many people know it's Young Men's Christian Association. I don't think the YMCAs could even be put into that category of religious organizations anymore."
All fitness facilities, whether they're nonprofits such as Ys and JCCs or for-profits like the Kosher Gym, have a bottom line of doing business, and that business is centered on memberships. An open discussion about who these members are and what they need spiritually as well as physically, Bloom says, can only add to the bottom line.
"The clubs that are scared about [discussing religion] are going to continue to have the same old conversation of what can we do to retain members and get new ones," Bloom says. "The clubs that say, 'Let's dig into this,' are going to see some really cool opportunities and are going to see their memberships skyrocket."
Is Everything Kosher Here?
Members of the Kosher Gym, Brooklyn, NY, have been grumbling not just about the changes in store for them once the facility changes owners to a national chain, but they've also been grumbling about the way the current owners, Yehuda Fulda and Ori Kahn, have been operating the business.
As negotiations were in the works to sell the facility, the owners installed turnstiles and a fingerprint reader at the entrance of the club and put up a sign that said members who jump the turnstiles would be fined $500 and would have their memberships revoked. Some members questioned the timing of the new policies, but Fulda says, "It just worked out that way."
Many members allege that Fulda and Kahn charged classes to their credit card accounts even though the members thought classes were included in the monthly fee, according to The Jewish Press. Some members also allege that the owners have been illegally extorting money from them by charging them unauthorized sums of money and summoning them to a Jewish court of law, The Jewish Press reported.
Fulda says that the members know that classes are an extra expense.
"When each member joins for the first time or renews, they are asked if they want to take classes (and other additional services) for an additional fee," Fulda says. "The original handwritten contact (used from 2003 to 2006) had a specific line item for classes. That is certainly an indication that classes cost extra."
As for the allegations, Fulda says Kosher Gym is right to use the tactics that they are using. Fulda adds that member claims cost the club thousands of dollars in administrative costs, legal fees and rabbinic counseling. Because of the large number of chargebacks to member accounts, RBS Lynk Inc. terminated Kosher Gym's merchant processing agreement.

Iowa State track athletes train and compete in one of the finest indoor facilities in the world. Iowa State's $13 million Lied Recreation-Athletic Facility complements Iowa State's outdoor track complex. The combination gives Cyclones track athletes first-rate, year-round practice facilities. The Lied Recreation-Athletic Facility was the site of the 1998, 2000, 2007, 2014 and 2015 Big 12 Indoor Track and Field Championships.
The indoor facility includes a 300-meter track with eight 42-inch lanes, making it the largest and one of the fastest indoor surfaces in the world. The polyurethane surface maximizes the power of the runner and the long straightaways and sweeping curves make the track a magnet for the finest runners. Over the summer of 1999 the track was resurfaced at a cost of over $600,000 with a mondo surface, showing ISU's commitment to be the best in the nation.
There is portable seating for 2,000 spectators and excellent field event facilities. The facility includes four pole vault runways and two long jump/triple jump pits.
The facility also includes lockers, showers, sauna and steam rooms for Iowa State athletes and a state-of-the-art sports medicine center. ISU athletes utilize the large, modern training and fitness center, which enhances weight training and conditioning programs.
The Iowa State track program, which its proud record of national and conference championships teams, Olympic athletes and individual champions, is raised to even higher levels by the facility.
The Iowa State wrestling room also calls the second floor of the Lied Recreational Center home. The 6,500 square foot wrestling room has housed the tradition-rich Cyclone wrestling program since 1990.
The world-class facility features three collegiate-sized wrestling mats as well as pull-up bars and climbing ropes.

Cogdell wins World Cup gold
Monday, April 2, 2012 - 11:29
Mon, 04/02/2012 - 11:29am
Eagle River's Corey Cogdell, a 2008 Olympic bronze medalist, posted a come-from-behind victory to win skeet shooting gold at the first International Shooting Sports Federation World Cup event of the season on Friday, March 30 in Tuscon, Ariz.
Cogdell, 25, entered the final round in fifth place, but missed just once in the final round (hitting 24 of 25 targets) to pull away from the field with 94 total hits, according to an ISSF press release.
"It feels great to win the first international match of the year, here in [the] USA," Cogdell said in the release. "This gives me a lot of confidence going into our Olympic team selection match, which will be conducted here in Tucson."
The U.S. Olympic Team Trials will be held in May.

Once again, it's time for some bouncy commentary from our socially engineered panel of experts!
BEWBS! In an video game industry increasingly sensitive to gender issues, it's just lucky we have a developer like Vanillaware to come along and remind us that we're really all just pretending to be grown-ups. To wit: George Kamitani's character designs in Dragon's Crown, Vanillaware's side-scrolling fantasy elf-em-up, which skip merrily past "exaggerated" and go straight to "daaaaammn."
It's not uncommon to see female video game characters with breasts larger than their heads, but Kamitani's art style — along with Crown's hyper-jiggling animations — still gave a jaded gaming community pause. Then, when Jason Schreier at Kotaku called it juvenile in a slightly juvenile way, Kamitani doubled down, lightly suggesting that anyone not sexually aroused by his ladies' physics-defying anatomy was probably gay, and that was probably bad. He's apologized since.
All that leaves us feeling confused, angry, and possibly a little horny. So what say you, panel of experts? Artistic license or license revoked?
Launch the gallery below for wisdom!

The Chevrolet Corvette has always been on the cutting edge for GM, both in terms of design, construction, and the actual building of the car. With the introduction of the new C7 generation, that mantle has been picked up by the newest of the breed.
Recently we were invited to the Bowling Green Assembly Plant, to see firsthand the building of Chevrolet's newest flagship vehicle, the 2014 Corvette Stingray, and understand what the public would see when plant tours for outsiders resumed. Public tours had been discontinued by GM for safety reasons while serious remodeling was being done inside the plant in preparation for the new car, and to help protect its secrets until the public unveiling. Now that everyone knows what the C7 is all about, and full production has started, the curtain could be raised and the public allowed to see what goes into make this newest generation of the iconic American sports car.
Watch for the full breakdown on the construction of the new C7 in an upcoming issue of Super Chevy magazine.
This is literally the beginning of the C7, where the core part of its new aluminum alloy frame, the center main rail section, is laser welded together in a sealed chamber. Inside the welding room, robots laser weld the various stamped pieces together, while also checking for any possible defects, or deviations outside of design tolerances. "The new aluminum-welding process enabled us to make the frame lighter and stiffer, improving the performance and driving confidence," said Dave Tatman, plant manager. "Measuring 100 points on every frame reduces the chance for unwanted squeaks and rattles that would distract from the driving experience."
From the "spine" of the frame moves out to the automated welding jigs so the various peripheral frame components can be attached. It is the most complex frame design in the Corvette's history, featuring main rails composed of five customized aluminum segments, including aluminum extrusions at each end, a center main rail section and hollow-cast nodes at the suspension interface points – all with varied thicknesses that make the most of the strength and mass requirements of each respective section.
Besides welding, parts of the frame also use a "Flowdrill Fastening System" to join various pieces together. The C7's frame features 188 Flowdrill-machined fasteners with structural adhesive. The fasteners are installed by a high-speed drill that extrudes the frame material to create a strong, integral collar that is tapped for screw-type fasteners. It is a GM first for body structure joining.
Flowdrill fastening joins closed sections, where only one side has open access and where arc welding could cause heat distortion or weaken material. Dimensional quality is also maintained, eliminating the need for post-assembly machining.
When it comes to the Corvette's body structure, it all starts here, with the rocker/door frame assembly. Every body panel is located off this piece, requiring it to be made to exact specs. Since different color Corvettes are produced in batches (so may red, then so many black, then so many blue, etc.) this parts are molded and pre painted along with all other body panels, then staged on racks to be fed into the production line by various human and automated processes.
Now with all body panels attached, wheels bolted on, and other small parts installed, the new C7s are nearing the end of the production line.
The final test for every C7 leaving Bowling Green Assembly is the flood test. Each car is driven into one of two booths like this where high flow, high intensity water jets bombard each car while a worker inside watches for any leaks or other water intrusion issues. Once this test is passed, the new C7 is driven outside to the slow speed vibration checking course, where various bumps, simulated rough road surfaces, and other obstacles are sued to make sure the freshly built Corvette doesn't have any squeaks, rattles, or vibrations. From there the car is driven to the storage lot, where it will be staged for loading onto a transporter before its journey to a Chevrolet dealership.

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — The state Supreme Court has revoked an attorney's law license for having sex with a teenage girl.
According to court documents, Joseph Engl of Sheboygan contacted a 15-year-old girl via email, picked her up in November 2011 and had sexual contact with her. He pleaded no contest in Manitowoc County to child enticement-sexual contact and sexual assault of a child under 16. He was sentenced to three years in prison.
The court issued an order Tuesday revoking his license, calling his conduct disturbing. According to the order, Engl agreed revocation was appropriate.
Engl was convicted in 2004 for using a computer to set up a sexual encounter with a detective posing as a 14-year-old girl. He was sentenced to probation and the Supreme Court publicly reprimanded him.

Dear Nold, I just downloaded your book ʻArchitectural Anthropologyʻ from your academia page. I noticed there are similar drawings, photos and concepts published by Gunter Nitschke in his long article ʻShime: Binding/Unbindingʻ in AD 12 in 1974. I wondered what is the connection. I have been referring to Nitschkeʻs article but now Iʻve seen your, I am not sure what the relationship between your concepts and his. I found the concepts very useful. Albert

WSC spring numbers strong, dual credit up tremendously
WILLISTON, N.D. - Williston State College has just released their official Spring 2014 Census data and things are looking good. Headcount is up from 812 last spring to 891 making for the 4th largest spring enrollment on record. Full-time enrollment is up by 8.47%, while scheduled credit hours have also seen an increase.
"We're very pleased with the increase," said Kayla McKeil, Director for Marketing. "The spring semester is always a tricky one for enrollment. People usually associate going back to school with the fall, but really the spring is an excellent time to start too."
WSC has also seen a great increase in dual credit headcount growing from 190 last spring to 289 this spring. Dual credit is defined as a college course that high school sophomores, juniors, or seniors can take for which the individual earns both high school and college credit.
The dual credit trend has nationally been on the rise as educational costs continue to increase. WSC and the WSC Foundation have long seen dual credit as a significant opportunity and continue to aid students by keeping dual credit tuition costs at $50 per credit hour for the last couple of years. (ND, MT, and MN students are charge $139.36 per credit hour for non-dual credit classes.) It's possible that dual credit tuition costs might increase this upcoming fall; however, work is being continued to keep the increase at a minimum.
"We are working to build a stronger relationship with our regional high schools by offering more courses on their campuses while still keeping high standards for our institution's accreditation, programs, and course transferability opportunities," says Kari Rustand, WSC Executive Director for Extended Learning. "In the end, Williston State College's Dual Credit Program is one of the smartest investments parents, schools, and students can make in the future of our youth and our communities."
For more information about Spring 2014 Census numbers, contact Kaylyn Bondy at 701.774.4585 or email@example.com. For information specific to dual credit, please contact Kari Rustand at 701.774.4500 or firstname.lastname@example.com For other information regarding Williston State, visit willistonstate.edu, call 1.888.863.9455, or stop by 1410 University Avenue, Williston, ND.

The boot sequence today is far more complex than it was even a decade ago. Here's a detailed, low-level, step-by-step walkthrough of the boot up.
Taking a lot of little steps along a path is a good analogy for understanding boot flow in Intel Architecture-based systems. The minimum firmware requirements for making a system operational and for booting an operating system are presented in this article. The vast majority of systems perform these steps in this article to do a full or cold boot. Depending on the architecture of the BIOS, there may be multiple software phases to jump through with different sets of rules, but the sequence for waking up the hardware is, at least in the early phases, very much the same.
Hardware Power Sequences: The Pre-Pre-Boot
When someone pushes the power button, the CPU can't simply jump up and start fetching code from flash memory. When external power is first applied, the hardware platform must carry out a number of tasks before the processor can be brought out of its reset state.
The first task is for the power supply to be allowed to settle down to its nominal state. Once the primary power supply settles, there are usually a number of derived voltage levels needed on the platform. For example, on the Intel Architecture reference platform the main input supply is a 12-volt source, but the platform and processor require voltage rails of 1.5, 3.3, 5, and 12 volts. Voltages must be provided in a particular order, a process known as power sequencing. The power is sequenced by controlling analog switches, typically field-effect transistors. The sequence is often driven by a Complex Program Logic Device (CPLD).
Platform clocks are derived from a small number of input clock and oscillator sources. The devices use phase-locked loop circuitry to generate the derived clocks used for the platform. These clocks take time to converge.
It is only after all these steps have occurred that the power-sequencing CPLD can de-assert the reset line to the processor, as illustrated in Figure 1. Depending on integration of silicon features, some of this logic may be on chip and controlled by microcontroller firmware that starts prior to the main processor.
Figure 1: An overview of power sequencing.
A variety of subsystems may begin prior to the main host system.
The Intel Manageability Engine (ME), available on some mainstream desktop and server-derived chips, is one such component. The main system firmware does not initialize the devices composing the ME. However, there is likely to be some level of interaction that must be taken into account in the settings of the firmware, or in the descriptors of the flash component, for the ME to start up and enable the clocks correctly. The main system firmware also has the potential to make calls and be called from the ME.
Another example is micro engines, which are telecommunications components used in the embedded-systems world. Micro engines have their own firmware that starts independently of the system BIOS. The host system's BIOS must make allowances for them in the Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) memory map to allow for proper interaction between host drivers and the micro-engine subsystem.
Once the processor reset line has been de-asserted, the processor begins fetching instructions. The location of these instructions is known as the reset vector. The reset vector may contain instructions or a pointer to the starting instructions in flash memory. The location of the vector is architecture-specific and usually in a fixed location, depending on the processor. The initial address must be a physical address, as the Memory Management Unit (MMU), if it exists, has not yet been enabled. The first fetching instructions start at 0xFFF, FFF0. Only 16 bytes are left to the top of memory, so these 16 bytes must contain a far jump to the remainder of the initialization code. This code is always written in assembly at this point as there is no software stack or cache RAM available at this time.
Because the processor cache is not enabled by default, it is not uncommon to flush cache in this step with a WBINV instruction. The WBINV is not needed on newer processors, but it doesn't hurt anything.

Ford (NYSE:F) wants its dealers to upgrade their facilities, and will even help dealers pay for the cost of renovations.
The auto giant told attendees at the National Automobile Dealers Association Convention and Expo in Orlando, Fla., that it will match remodeling costs, dollar for dollar, up to $750,000, the Detroit News noted.
All 3,100 Ford dealers can participate in the program. Prior upgrade incentive programs have had sales volume or customer satisfaction score requirements. Company officials did not say how much Ford expects the program to cost.
An industry survey found that more than 70% of Ford dealerships in leading markets are planning to remodel their dealerships.
Rival General Motors (NYSE:GM) is assisting with the financing for renovations at its Chevrolet dealerships. GM is requiring dealers to conform to certain sales, marketing and service requirements to get the financing.
Car dealers have resisted automaker efforts to promote uniform appearances at dealerships.
Last month, Ford announced that it would double its quarterly dividend to 10 cents per share. The automaker resumed paying dividends in 2012 after suspending them during the economic downturn.
Shares of Ford rose fractionally in Monday midday trading.

I'd like to re-share a library that I created for the Radar application last year, designed to provide assistance for Geolocation, reverse geocoding, local weather, place names and a utility for determining the Sunrise and Sunset for a given latitude and longitude.
The reason for the library was not to create a wrapper over the already fantastic AIR API in Actionscript, but to provide a fallback. Following alot of testing with the Radar app, it became clear that quite often there were be occasions when a given mobile phone wouldn't return a location in a decent timeframe. Further, to get the application working correctly on the desktop requires a method for locating the desktop.
Importantly, I've designed the API to use various methods of detection seamlessly. It will fallback from GPS to IP Lookup and even uses HTML if the SWF happens to be in a browser. So all you need to do is implement a simple interface and a GeoServices object.
You can see it in action here:

A simple recipe that is a nice change to the regular sauce chili. You can dress this one up with jalapeno peppers, sour cream, tortilla chips and cheese.
We prefer to add mozzarella cheese or provolone and some broken up garlic bread .
Whatever toppings you chose this is an easy recipe that you can dress up however you like.
White Chicken Cannellini Chili Recipe
2 tablespoons olive oil or more for frying chicken
4 boneless chicken breasts cut into cubes
2 cloves minced garlic
4 sweet peppers chopped (I use red, yellow and some green for color)
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 tablespoon cumin
salt and pepper to taste
dash of cayenne pepper
2 cans chicken broth
3 cans cannellini beans drained (2 cans drained leave whole and 1 can drained and pureed keeping a little chunky)
Topping suggestions:
Shredded mozzarella, provolone or white cheddar cheeses
Crackers, garlic bread, croutons, or tortilla chips
Optional: Sour cream
In a large dutch oven or heavy saucepan around 5 quart, add the olive oil saute the peppers and chicken together. Saute until the pink is gone 4 to 5 minutes. Add the seasonings, chicken broth stir to blend.
puree beans by pulsing a few times in the food processor leaving them a little chunky
Add the pureed beans and the two cans of whole beans. Simmer until thickens and chicken is tender around 1 hour on medium heat or throw it all into a slow cooker for 2 to 4 hours on low.
To Serve: Top with sour cream, shredded white cheese, mozzarella, provolone or shredded cheddar. Add some crushed tortilla chips, garlic bread or crackers crumbled fried bacon is great on this also.

The Blackhawks, who kicked off their longest trip of the season with a hard-fought victory over the Ducks in Anaheim on Wednesday night, fell flat 24 hours later.
Game 2 of their eight-game trip didn't go quite as well as the first as the Hawks lost to the Los Angeles Kings 5-2 Thursday night before a crowd of 18,118 at the Staples Center.
"We got off to a good start on the road trip and you want more," defenseman Brian Campbell said. "It's tough to go down early in the first period. We have to skate better and compete. I don't think we did that in the first period."
The Kings raced to a 3-0 lead and never looked back as the Hawks fell for the third time in their last four games. Los Angeles goaltender Jonathan Quick was strong in net with 31 saves to help lift the Kings.
Dustin Brown put the Kings on the board at 14 minutes 47 seconds of the first period with a power-play goal.
With the Hawks' James Wisniewski in the box for delay of game, Brown's backhander from between the circles beat goalie Cristobal Huet to make it 1-0.
Los Angeles took a 2-0 lead on Jarret Stoll's goal 1:45 later. Stoll took a Kyle Calder pass from behind the net and beat Huet from in close.
"They're playing well, give them credit," coach Joel Quenneville. "They worked hard tonight. We made a couple of mistakes. I liked the way we competed in the last part of the game but we had a pretty big hole."
The Hawks had an opportunity to gain some momentum when L.A.'s Jack Johnson was sent off for hooking, but it was the Kings who capitalized.
While short-handed, the Kings' Patrick O'Sullivan broke in on Huet on a two-on-one with teammate Alexander Frolov, and O'Sullivan blasted a shot from the right circle past Huet to take a 3-0 advantage in the second period.
Dave Bolland's ninth goal of the season at the 7:31 mark of the third ended Quick's shutout bid. Bolland fired a one-timer from the top of the right circle over Quick's left shoulder following a Brian Campbell pass to cut the deficit to 3-1.
The Kings regained their three-goal lead 37 seconds later when Frolov converted a pass from Wayne Simmonds to make it 4-1.
Probably the last 30 minutes of the game we played pretty hard and put some pressure on them," forward Craig Adams said. "We probably were unlucky to have more goals but we didn't put in 60 minutes."
Patrick Sharp's team-leading 22nd goal of the season for the Hawks at 11:32 made it 4-2. Sharp blasted a shot from inside the blue line following a Campbell feed. The Kings' Brown added an empty-net score in the final minute.
The Hawks had started the trip in fine fashion with a 3-2 victory over the Ducks, thanks in part to captain Jonathan Toews, who has his mind focused on putting the first half and All-Star break behind.
He has ratcheted up his intensity level in the dressing room and on the ice.
"I guess that's why the call me 'Mr. Serious,' " Toews said of the nickname his teammates have bestowed upon him. "You want to step up and score a big goal, but it's not going to happen every night as much as you try. It doesn't matter what situation you're in as a captain—you want to want help the team win games."
Toews & Co. will try to rebound Saturday night in San Jose against the Western Conference-leading Sharks.
One-timers: Winger Patrick Kane snapped his 12-game goal drought with his first-period power-play score against the Ducks on Wednesday night. "It's definitely nice to see one go in," Kane said. "I have to keep rolling with it and, hopefully, start a little streak the other way. You could see I started getting chances both ways. Hopefully, this gives me a little confidence and I'll be in the right spots." … Winger Kris Versteeg missed his second consecutive game Thursday night with an injury to his right pinky. Other scratches were winger Pascal Pelletier and defenseman Aaron Johnson.

April Fools Day...WHAT IS IT?
We associate April Fool's day with partaking in practical jokes and generally having a bit of fun. However, WHY do we do such silly things on this particular day?
Several reasons are probably contributing factors to such silliness and fun. It is seen by some folk as a celebration of the turn of the seasons...getting out of our system all of the winter's woes and enjoying the coming of Spring with all the fresh new plants, colors and sunshine. On the other hand, it may also have something to do some history of the adoption of a new calendar system.
Let me explain...
Originally, New Year's Day in most early cultures was near April 1st, closely related to the vernal equinox. The Romans and the Hindus celebrated New Year's Day at this time. Medieval Europe celebrated March 25th, the Feast of Anunciation, as the beginning of the new year.
Here is where the bugaboo comes in though. In 1582, Pope Gregory XIII ordered a new calendar, now known as the Gregorian Calendar, to replace the old Julian Calendar because it was generally more accurate. The Gregorian Calendar had New Year's Day as January 1st. That very year, France adopted the Gregorian Calendar as the official calendar that shifted New Years to January 1st.
The problem arised when many folk chose to refuse the new date for New Years or apparently didn't know of the new date and, therefore, continued to celebrate New Years on April 1st instead of January 1st.
Those enlightened folk "in the know" made fun of the the either traditionalists or those who weren't aware of the change. After all, news back in those days traveled a tad more slowly than it does in our modern day. These folks were subject to a bit of ridicule as a result. Apparently, the practice spread throughout Europe until everyone knew of the change. Since that probably took many years, the practice became a habit and was celebrated as a time of practical jokes, fun and otherwise trying to trick someone into believing something that wasn't true.
Now this fun little story may not be completely true since this calendar was initially introduced in only France at first. It didn't actually reach England until 1752! Funny thing was that the April Fool's Day was already a well-established occurence in England BEFORE the change in the calendar.
Another possibility of the April Fool's origin is that near April, the Romans had a festival called Hilaria on March 25th that was a joyful time of the resurrection of Attis, originally the Phrygian god of vegetation; I guess that sort've makes sense since it is Spring time and new plants are shooting forth out of the ground.
April Fools in this day and age has no real practical purpose other than to have a bit of fun with it.
So, enjoy the day!

Time for Some Serious Irish-ness!!! On Being Irish
Are you Irish? During this time of year, a lot of folk consider themselves Irish, or want to be Irish, or wish they were Irish or want to live with the Irish (whatever THAT means...........)
Ahem...anyway, I've recently discovered that I'm just a tad more Irish than I ever thought I was. My brother has done several years of research on our family ancestry and has come up with some interesting facts. I've gone a few steps further and researched a few facts that he chose not to and discovered some general fun little facts about my ancestry.
Prior to my brother's research, my family past was a bunch of scattered little tidbits that had little meaning, facts or background to support any of of the rumors and hearsays. My father had almost no information on his family since his own mother died when he was nine years old. His father was left needing to deal with a recently passed on wife, a dead infant and now five living children on his own. Apparently, he did the best that he could do in a crisis situation and fostered out his children to what he considered a safe environment for them.
My father was taken to a dairy farm near El Centro, California where his mother and sister passed away, and fostered in by his aunt and her current husband there. As for the girls, (my father's sisters), he took them back to Oklahoma and Texas to family there and had aunts and cousins care for them.
I'm not so sure that my father ever really knew that the woman that took him in and cared for him was his aunt. He seldom spoke of her and never referred to her as his aunt. It was only after my brother did research did I find that this was actually a family member.
This bit if information only serves to support the idea that we knew so little about our family. As a result, I believe my father made up stories to give himself a "place" of importance in his life. He had always told us kids that we were Irish...for the most part, and our relatives lived in County Cork, Ireland. His mother was Pennsylvania Dutch and Cherokee Indian. His father was Irish and Cherokee.
That couldn't have been further from the truth.
On my mother's side, she also knew very little about her heritage other than that her parents came from Manchester, England, emigrated to Canada a few years after the turn of the century. My aunt was born in Canada. Then, they continued from Canada to southern California here in the U.S. where my mother was born. My grandfather died before I was born, but my grandmother lived in Los Angeles, on Flower St. for years in an old turn of the century mansion that had been converted to apts along with a bunch of other mansions in the area before they were torn down. We used to travel by bus to Los Angeles then take a short tram called "Angels Flight" to the downtown neighborhood. The rest of the way, we would walk up a steep hill until we got to "grandma's house".
My grandma used to give me all kinds of costume jewelry that she no longer wore. Much of it was cheaply made from the turn of the century. Old-fashioned and beautiful! It was quite Victorian appearing and I still have many of those pieces even though many of them are in sad shape with pieces missing, clasps broken or otherwise un-wearable. My grandma never really spoke much about her life prior to coming to the U.S. to anyone, which gives me the idea that her life was not pleasant prior to that. She married a man who was many years her senior and apparently sickly. He died at a fairly young age, apparently of tuberculosis. Yet, it strikes me odd that my mother had many tests for TB exposure and never tested positive for being exposed to it. Questions, questions...
Now that both sides of my family are in place with little information about their past, we only hear stories and hearsays about our ancestry. My grandmother stated a few times that she thought she had some German blood, but seldom spoke about it. Our researched family history does not support that claim.
So, all these years, I always thought I was some weird conglomeration of Irish, English, Dutch, Cherokee Indian and a "spot" of German.
The only thing true about the above sentence was that I was Irish and English. I have no idea where the rest came from!
We discovered that on my dad's side of the family that we are Scottish, Irish and Welsh; and given some of the names that pop up in the family history, some Viking explorers and plunderers made their way into the mix.
On my mom's side, we were primarily English for hundreds of years, with some Scottish entering into the picture now and again. I haven't had the chance to explore all the family names that have entered into the picture from as far back as Queen Elizabeth anyway.
For what I DO know is that my family on my dad's side comes from a peninsula in Scotland (the Kintyre peninsula) and that my family name means "son of the carpenter". This area is part of the kingdom of Dalriada from as far back as the 5th century A.D. Dalriada apparently was on both the Irish and Scottish side and is, more or less, modern day Argyleshire. My family heritage has some interesting stories about sailing to the Kintyre peninsula and coming across the Scottish Campbell clan. They wanted to settle on Campbell territory, so the Campbells decided that was OK but that my clan had to pay rent, so to speak, by presenting their clan with a snowball every Spring from the Scottish Highlands. That they did for years and apparently were very close in loyalty to one another over the centuries. In my clan's tartan, there is a small white thread that goes through that supposedly represents that "snowball".
Fun story! Is it true? I'm really not sure. But, it is probably a bit more true than us being Cherokee Indian!
Now, the Kintyre peninsula is in modern day Scotland, a long piece of land that lies just north of Ireland and about as close to Ireland as you can get; but the kingdom of Dalriada (or Dalridia and a whole of other ways to spell it) was also in northern Ireland. It appears that my family seems more bent on the Irish end of this area rather than the Scottish end. No matter though. They seemed to have crossed back and forth pretty freely. So, am I Scottish, or am Irish? I think it is a nice comglomeration of the two, since the Irish (AKA Scotti in ancient times) and Scots seem to wander back and forth. Our family seems to have a lot of "Pict" heritage based on the location of where they came from on my dad's side of the family.
Except for an occasional Scottish name showing up, my mother's side of the family was mainly from the north central part of Britian; Lancashire, Derbyshire, York and a few other areas. This area was controlled in early times by a tribe called the Brigantes, who also had holdings in Ireland. It is interesting to note that there are several ancient settlements named Brigantium around Europe: there was also a tribe called the Brigantes from what is modern day Betanzos, Spain falling within an area referred to as Celtic Gallaecia. Also, there is the Brigantii from the Alps from settlements bearing the name Brigantium now known as Bregenz and Briançonople and a few other names.
I think if I go back far enough, I can probably trace my heritage to Noah to landed his ark probably somewhere in Turkey a very long time ago.
Nevertheless, tracing family history is very interesting and I learn a lot about my own mannerisms and traits that really do seem to go back for generations. Amazing how strong those ties are whether we wish to admit or not.
Based on my family history, I think I can claim a bit more Irish heritage than I originally thought. No, I don't speak Gaelic and am very poor at imitating an "Irish" accent. I was born in the U.S. which makes me a "United Statesian" as are my children. Because of my kid's dad, they also claim Spanish and quite possibly a bit of Italian blood (based on HIS heritage).
We are just crazy mixed up family!
How about yours?

Looking for Lemony Snickets/Jim Carrey Dreams
Discuss this movie. Available on DVD and Blu-ray.
Thats odd cause I just saw him in a tabloid not to long ago and he didn't have the beard. He looked the same almost. He got fat in the 80's too but then he did drugs and got really skinny. I can remember when Do you really want to hurt me first came out. My sister did not know what he looked like but she fell in love with him cause of his voice. Then when we were watching MTV the video came on and she cried.lol
People used to think he was possessed by the devil.
Re: Terrific dream
I have read yours, and yes you may have permission to share my Jim dream over at your dream blog. I am also very interested in that kind of stuff too.
And i've got a lot more Jim dreams where those came from. A lot of them have me inserted into scenes from his films like Ace Ventura and the cable guy. While some others have Jim actually appearing in them. And most of them have a transformation scene of some kind. It's usually either me or Jim (or one of his characters) that transforms- usually into some sort of grinch- I almost became a full grinch but the transformation kind of stopped at about 40 or 50%.
Whoever thinks that Jim is possessed by the devil should go to hell or go to a mental home and get there mind cleared out and get advice off a psychologist. Just because someone has an attractive vioce but looks bad does not mean you can stereotype them. Poeple who do that don't know Jim and never will. They will get nothing in life by stereotyping whoever thinks they would are so immature
I guess none of us really know Jim lol But I agree with you about stereotyping or judging people just because of their physical appearence.
Choose your friends by their character and your socks by their color, choosing your socks by their character makes no sense, and choosing your friends by their color is unthinkable!
We weren't talking about Jim there
Re: Looking for Lemony Snickets/Jim Carrey Dreams
The part when you said if you had any dreams aboutJim i had now like 7 dreams about Jim i LOVE those dreams i one tim had a dream about Jim that i got to go to his house IT WAS SO AWSOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm in LOVE with him and I Feel Fine
Dreams about Jim
Wow, that's really cool. And I also agree with everyone else's statements above. Jim's not possessed, he's just doing what he does best...being wacky, kooky and funny. Not to mention he's very good at being dark, edgy and serious too.
It's really interesting learning about all the different Jim related dreams though.
I care how Jim looks or act HE IS SO SO SO HOT!!!!!
But if Jim dos drugs i wil NOT be his fan MABEY OK I WIL STILL BE A FAN
when i look at a picture of him i look like this
My song for Jim http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cte-gPKaVDA
