Hey guys, general newbie, and first-timer to the cyclocross board. I figured you guys would have the most insight into this question...
I recently did a long ride (185 Miles from Boston to Gorham, NH). My final destination was a lodge that lies about 1/3 mile from the road. The path from road to door is a snowmobile path with varying degrees of incline, mostly medium-sized gravel with some hard-packed sections and some bigger, loose gravel interspersed. The bike I took for the trip was my Trek 2300 road (racing) bike, with 25mm slick tires at roughly 100-110 psi. I had about 15 lbs of hear on my rear rack.
I had originally intended to walk my bike along this last stretch, assuming there was no way I'd make it up. It started raining heavily about 8 miles from the end of the ride, and I just wanted it to be over, so I rode up the trail, along with my riding partner who was on a surly touring bike with 28mm slick tires.
We both made it up this trail without issue. It was wet from the downpour, and during the whole thing, the only time I lost traction was on a wet wooden sleeper that I had to hop onto and over that was retaining the trail. It was slightly after peak leaf-peeping time, so there were plenty of wet leaves on the trail, too.
My question is this: why were we able to make it up so easily? I would've expected the narrow high pressure tires would have dug a rut and gotten stuck, especially on the steeper parts. I've gone up the same trail on my mountain bike in similar rainy conditions and not felt any more in control. Did I somehow gain stability? Or did I just underestimate the traction of wet rubber?
My apologies if these seems like a very long-winded post to ask a silly question... I guess it is.

The rise of cash prizes for innovation is a response to changing business conditions—and a return to a winning strategy
To understand the history of innovation over the past several centuries, it helps to remember a familiar refrain: Follow the money.
Journal Reports
Read the complete Technology: Innovation Awards report .
Plus, see the list of the winners and runners-up for The Wall Street Journal's 2010 Technology Innovation Awards, get an update on past winners and read opinions from innovators on what will win in coming years .
Earlier this month, for instance, three teams shared the Progressive Insurance Automotive X Prize—a $10 million bounty awarded for the first production-ready car that can achieve a fuel efficiency of 100 miles per gallon or its energy equivalent.
The contest was one of a growing portfolio of competitions managed by the X Prize Foundation, a 15-year-old nonprofit organization that partners with philanthropists and corporations to stimulate technological breakthroughs by sponsoring high-stakes challenges. The foundation is also co-sponsoring the Archon Genomics X Prize—which will pay $10 million for reaching certain targets in high-speed, low-cost gene sequencing—and the Google Lunar X prize, which will pay $30 million to the first privately funded team to land a rover on the moon.
These contests may seem like a recent fad, but in fact, they have a long history. In 1714, the British Parliament passed the Longitude Act, offering awards to inventors who could solve the problem of measuring longitude at sea; from 1737 to 1765, clockmaker John Harrison earned a series of awards totaling £14,315 for improvements to his marine chronometer. In 1800, the French government established the Food Preservation Prize to help supply Napoleon's army, and 10 years later, Nicolas Appert claimed 12,000 francs for demonstrating his vacuum-packing method, which is still used in today's canned foods.
After disappearing for much of the 20th century, such prizes have recently re-emerged as a strategy for stimulating innovation. And that resurgence says much about the nature of innovation today, as well as the economic times we live in.
The Bigger Story
Specifically, these prizes tend to appear—or reappear—when there are tough problems to solve during lean economic times. In 1919, when New York hotelier Raymond Orteig offered $25,000 to the first aviator to fly nonstop from New York to Paris (a prize claimed by Charles Lindbergh in 1927), the U.S. was mired in the post-World War I recession. Nevertheless, the war in Europe had underscored the importance of trans-Atlantic transportation, and Mr. Orteig hoped to transform aviation into a stable industry with reliable, high-performance technology.
Similarly, in today's troubled economy, many companies have been hesitant to invest in new technology projects, despite a dearth of solutions for challenges like clean, renewable energy. So a growing number of corporations and philanthropists have sponsored these innovation contests to accelerate the pace of technological change despite the economic downturn.
More broadly, the history of big-money prizes has closely mirrored long-term changes in the organization of invention. In the first decades of the 20th century, most inventions were still created by individual, independent inventors, who had plenty of good ideas but often lacked the financial resources to bring them to market. Conversely, industrial companies had plenty of manufacturing and marketing experience but needed new ideas to stay competitive.
Thus, a vibrant technology marketplace evolved in which manufacturers enticed inventors with the promise of predefined financial rewards. For example, it was common for industrialists to place ads in Scientific American or Popular Mechanics, offering $500 to the inventor who could develop an improved method of making glass bottles or $1,000 for increasing the efficiency of steam boilers. Big-money awards like the Orteig prize simply represented a difference in the scale of financial incentives already operating in the marketplace for inventions.
The Corporate Mentality
The popularity of invent-for-cash prizes began to dwindle as the locus of invention shifted slowly from individuals to corporations. Many high-tech companies of the late 1800s had been built upon the discoveries of their inventor-founders, including AT&T (Alexander Graham Bell) and General Electric (Thomas Edison).
However, as these highly capitalized firms grew and matured, they were no longer willing to bet their technological fortunes on the unpredictable "Eureka!" moments of idiosyncratic, individual inventors. Instead, around 1900, GE and AT&T formed two of the first research-and-development labs, in which teams of salaried scientists pursued carefully defined problems, with all resulting patents assigned to the company.
As more businesses established R&D labs and internalized the inventive function, they no longer needed to attract outside, independent inventors. Consequently, innovation prizes disappeared.
Market Control
Many corporate R&D labs enjoyed tremendous success during the mid-20th century because of their companies' monopolistic control over their markets—for example, AT&T dominated telephony, Xerox dominated copying, and DuPont dominated chemicals. With robust profits, these companies could easily afford the research underlying remarkable innovations like transistors, lasers and synthetic polymers.
However, during the next several decades, antitrust prosecutions and globalization brought new foreign and domestic competitors, declining market shares and profits—and reduced funding for R&D. Consequently, by the mid-1990s, many of the original R&D pioneers were forced to downsize their research operations or scuttle them altogether.
These companies still needed to produce new innovations, but with fewer resources. Eventually, they returned to the strategy in place before the advent of R&D labs—"outsourcing" for new inventions by offering financial incentives to independent inventors.
According to a 2009 study by McKinsey & Co., more than 60 prizes of at least $100,000 made their debuts from 2000 to 2007, representing almost $250 million in new prize money. Furthermore, 78% of the new prize money offered from 1991 to 2007 was directed toward inducement awards—designed to stimulate new action and achieve a specific goal—rather than "recognition" awards (like the Nobel Prizes) that honor prior achievements.
They Work
These prizes have proliferated because they actually work. For one thing, if marketed properly, a high-profile contest can burnish a sponsor's image and enhance its brand equity.
But these contests are more than publicity stunts—they are a financially prudent and efficient strategy for spurring innovations. With in-house corporate research, government grants or competitively bid contracts, researchers are paid upfront for their work, whether it pans out or not. With an inducement prize, the sponsor pays only for ideas that actually meet the prize criteria. In other words, technology contests shift the risk of innovation from the patrons to the solver community.
Furthermore, these contests tend to multiply—and diversify—the amount of talent and capital that are directed at a given problem. Netflix Inc. NFLX 0.48 % attracted more than 40,000 entries from 186 countries to its online contest, awarding $1 million in 2009 to a team of seven programmers that achieved a 10% improvement in its movie-recommendation system.
Historically, governments have sponsored innovation contests, such as Britain's Longitude Prize and France's Food Preservation Prize. Although the U.S. government has tentatively followed industry into the prize arena, nearly all of its R&D spending is still distributed through traditional grant programs or competitively bid contracts. With a fragile economy, huge budget deficits and myriad problems to crack, policy makers should take better advantage of prizes as a historically proven model of innovation.
Meanwhile, philanthropists aren't waiting for the federal government to take action. On July 29, 2010, in the wake of BP's Deepwater Horizon accident, the X Prize Foundation announced its latest high-stakes competition: the $1.4 million Wendy Schmidt Oil Cleanup X Challenge.

Lamar Odom Admits To Cheating On Khloe Kardashian In Bizarre New Video
November 22, 2013 06:36 AM by Lisa Princ
We knew it was only a matter of time before the truth came out! For months, we have been hearing rumors buzz about Lamar Odom cheating on his wife, Khloe Kardashian, as well as abusing drugs. While Lamar's drug use has not been a secret, the cheating allegations have never been addressed…until now! In a bizarre new video, Odom admits to cheating on Khloe Kardashian.
Uh oh, did Lamar Odom just admit to cheating on Khloe Kardashian? For months, the couple have kept their mouths shut about the infidelity, but in a bizarre new rap video obtained by our friends at TMZ, it seems as though Odom is confessing to his sins. In the strange clip, Odom seems to be either high as a kite, or drunk off his behind, as he raps about making money off of his fragrance line, as well as using drugs to take his pain away.
However, the kicker is when he pretty much admits to cheating on his wife, Khloe Kardashian. Odom can be heard rapping: "And when Khloe's out of town, I still be on the DL," and then a pal chimes in: "You know what it is…We the QU [Queens] pimps…Ask any of these shorties…We ran through their cribs." In case you're not familiar with the slang, it basically means that Lamar has cheated on Khloe. Meanwhile, Odom was also spotted at a party in Rhode Island recently with a bunch of college girls.
Wow, I wonder how long it will be before the next mistress comes forward?
What do you think about Lamar Odom's rap about cheating on Khloe Kardashian? Will they get divorced? We know you have an opinion and we want to hear it! Comment below to share your thoughts with us!

PULLMAN, Wash. - Jason Gesser threw for a career-high 432 yards and four touchdowns as Washington State beat California 51-20 on Saturday in the Pacific-10 opener for both teams Saturday.
Washington State (3-0, 1-0 Pac-10) started the season with three wins for the first time since 1998. The Cougars passed for 513 passing yards, surpassed the school record of 492 set in the 1992 Copper Bowl.
Gesser's favorite target was Nakoa McElrath, who caught nine passes for 163 yards and two touchdowns.
Two other Cougars receivers caught passes for more than 100 yards. Mike Bush caught five for 144 yards and a touchdown and Jerome Riley had 124 yards and a touchdown on three catches.
Gesser completed 19 of 43 passes and was intercepted once. Washington State had 605 yards of total offense, compared to Cal's 367 yards.
Dave Minnich scored on a 2-yard run and Alan Thompson ran 6 yards for another score.
Drew Dunning hit field goals of 38, 23 and 37 yards as Washington State took a 16-13 halftime lead.
The Bears (0-3, 0-1) lost 118 yards on 12 penalties, lost two fumbles and Cal quarterbacks were intercepted twice.
Charon Arnold hauled in a 45 yard pass from Kyle Boller to put Cal up 7-3 early.
Terrell Williams, starting in place of injured Cal running back Joe Igber, carried 17 times for 63 yards and caught a 15-yard scoring pass from Boller.
Eric Holtfreter took over for Cal starter Boller early in the second period, but Boller returned in the fourth quarter. Boller finished with 10 of 22 pass attempts for 135 yards and two touchdowns. Holtfreter was 10-of-27 for 161 yards.
Mark Jensen hit field goals of 45 and 20 yards for Cal.
Gesser's performance surpassed his previous best game total of 348 last year against Arizona.

One of the things I've loved about being a mom is rediscovering the joy of Valentine's Day. Where it used to be a day that created undue pressure to BE ROMANTIC and ORDER CHAMPAGNE and DIG OUT THE LACY THINGS, now the focus has shifted to my daughters' own celebrations. Phew.
My girls adore handing out cards for their preschool and kindergarten classmates, and rushing home with their own armful of hastily scribbled love letters.
Instead of spending a lot on those (generally awful) box sets of cards at the drugstore, I've discovered the awesome world of printables. Many of them are made by terrific artists, allowing us to save time and money, and still have something adorable to hand out on the 14th.
Above, the cards from one of our favorite shops, Olliegraphic are actually custom made to look like your kids for just $10. There's plenty of room on the inside for color and glitter.
The free printable Valentine's cards (free!) at kids web shop Olliebollen are adorable–and include a color-your-own version ready-made for crafty kids.
The hello tweetheart printable from etsy shop Luke Commasara can be personalized with your own child's name for $8. (Also good for you Twitter addicts?)
I love the look of these sugar cookie Valentine's cards from Piggybank Parties, and they're just $3. Pair them with a homemade heart cookie and your kid will be the sweetheart of the class.
For even more Valentine's day card ideas for kids, search Cool Mom Picks which is loaded with them. Plus find a whole post on Valentine's cards and gifts just for boys for those kids who prefer monsters and robots over fuzzy pink hearts.

During meeting with Turkish reporters, FM says Israel should not apologize for deadly 2010 commando raid on Gaza-bound Turkish vessel; say Syrian resistance refused Israeli assistance
Published: 07.24.12, 08:26 / Israel News
In his first meeting with a Turkish delegation since the 2010 IDF
commando raid
on the Gaza-bound "Mavi Marmara" vessel, which left eight Turkish nationals and a US citizen of Turkish descent dead, Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman said that while the Jewish state is willing to resolve any outstanding disputes with Ankara, it has nothing to apologize for.
"(The Mavi Marmara mission) was a clear provocation and it was our right to protect the lives of our soldiers. Frankly speaking, Israel has no reason to apologize," he said during the July 22 meeting with Turkish reporters at his office in Jerusalem.
Related articles:
"Even if Israel apologizes for the attack, that will change nothing," Israel's top diplomat said in the interview, which was published Moday by the Turkish newspaper Hurriyet.
"During his speeches in parliament, Mr. (Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip) Erdogan has repeatedly said that an apology will not improve the relations and that (Turkey) has additional conditions. Turkey
has a long (list of) other conditions, including the lifting of the blockade on the Gaza Strip, (returning) to the (pre-1967) border lines, compensation, et cetera. But this is not the best way to settle disagreements."
Asked by the Turkish reporters how the deadlock would end, Lieberman said, "Sometimes, it will take more years, sometimes less. Even if we have disputes, we can resolve disputes in different ways but not (by) cutting diplomatic relations, or calling ambassadors back to the capitals, or provoking each other."
Addressing the crisis in Syria, Lieberman revealed
that the Syrian opposition has rejected Israel's offer to provide humanitarian assistance to rebels fighting army forces loyal to President Bashar Assad,
The FM said Israel
would not intervene in Syria's domestic affairs. "We don't want to impose ourselves on the Syrian opposition," he said.

Hi all,
I recently bought a tacx satori bike trainer as per this thread:Tacx Satori (noise level?)
I dunno if I posted in the right forum or not, but not much response
I took that trainer back because it was to noisy for my situation. I have people that live below me in a loft. I took it back to my LBS and the guy kinda acted pissed off, and said they all make noise. Kinda making me feel stupid that I didn't know that all bike trainers make noise that disturbs the neighbours.
Any who, I got my money back and am looking for a nice quiet bike trainer? Is there such a thing. A friend recommended to me to get a rim trainer like this one: http://www.minoura.jp/index-et.html
Would this be more quiet? Enough that I could use it indoors and not disturb the neighbours? Or is the guy at my LBS right in saying they all are like that?
Thanks for your help in advance
*edit* Whoops misspelled Quiet in the title line, Quite = Quiet, it's a monday morning What can i say Can't edit the title I suppose...oh well*

The HE-1100 wood burning furnace features fiberglass R19 insulation. The flow filter is visible and it is made of stainless steel. The flow filter does not need to be replaced. As the wood furnace provides very hot burn, the ash outcome is less. The large loading door of the furnace is situated at waist height. The rear door can be easily accessed. The biomass furnace, offered by Hawken Energy, is equipped with 1/6 HP pump.
The HE-1100 wood burning furnace includes a light at the outside to facilitate night time loading. The installation of the furnace does not require concrete pads. Other features of the furnace include a fan forced draft, and a non-stock door gasket. The heat output of the wood heating system is 225,000 BTU, and the water capacity is 150 gallons. The dimensions of the wood furnace are 56.75 x 83.5 x 83.75 inches, with a footprint area of 48.5 x 55 inches. The weight of the wood furnace is 1,750 pounds.

How do I sort a list without using the Collection methods?
The roadmap
Your first sorting algorithm
I think counting sort is the best algorithm to start with. Read up about it and try to understand it, then write your own implementation as follows:
Once you do this, you'll realize how simple sorting can be when you can take advantage of certain properties of the numbers (in this case, the fact that they're between 0..9).
Your second sorting algorithm
Selection sort is a good intuitive sorting algorithm for your next implementation. It's a comparison sort, and doesn't assume anything about the range of the numbers. Many people in real life sort using this algorithm:
The rest of the journey
You may want to implement the other quadratic algorithms just to get a good grasp on the basics, but the next step would be to learn recursion, specifically divide and conquer algorithms.
You would not want to dive straight into merge sort/quick sort without first understanding basic recursion, because it can get too overwhelming.
Do the usual recursion exercises, factorial, Fibonacci, etc. Ask for pointers from stackoverflow if you need guidance. There may even already be questions with good answers about learning recursion.
A side trip
You may want to implement the merge portion of merge sort, even before you fully understand recursion yet. It's a very educational exercise:
Since this is most likely homework I am going to give you advice rather than source code.
Take a look at this page on sorting algorithms. You should choose the correct sorting algorithm based on your requirements. Choosing the wrong algorithm can mean poor performance or unnecessary complexity.
Assuming you have only a small number of items and want a simple algorithm then you could look at insertion sort. The Wikipedia page includes pseudocode. This algorithm has O(n^2) performance.
If your lists are quite long and you want better performance at the cost of a slightly more complicated algorithm, you could try merge sort. This algorithm has O(n log(n)) performance both average and worst case and is a popular choice in language libraries.

The girl, who has not been identified because of her age, was babysitting two young kids Wednesday afternoon in Bellingham when she said two armed men forced their way into the home.
She told police the men ordered her to leave with the children. She brought them to a neighbor's house and called 911.
Speaking with police, the babysitter said the robbers were tall black men in their 20s or 30s. She said one had a knife and the other had a gun in his backpack, according to the Whatcom County Sheriff's Office.
Numerous deputies and a special response team swarmed into the neighborhood to secure the home and find the robbers. Deputies originally believed the men had barricaded themselves inside the house, but they later searched it and found nobody inside.
A Customs and Border Protection helicopter was also deployed to help search for the robbers.
The babysitter stuck to her original story for a while, but later cracked under questioning and admitted to lying. She told detectives no one barged into the home and that she was involved in the plan to steal valuables from the house.
She said she made up a list of items she wanted and gave it to her two accomplices, who then burglarized the house. Detectives soon identified the two suspected accomplices, one of whom was the babysitter's boyfriend, 18-year-old Reuben Benjamin, according to deputies. The second was a 16-year-old boy, who deputies have not identified.
Both suspects admitted to stealing property from the house, and all the stolen items were located. Deputies say the trio made off with roughly $1,500 in computers, video games, cash and other items.
All three suspects were arrested and are facing charges of robbery, theft, conspiracy to commit robbery and filing a false report.

Before the trip to
Lacey's attempt to keep the charade that he's a farmhand, and not her lover, doesn't bode to well with Madea and Eileen who suspect much more to the story, as his parents Larry the Cable Guy and Kathy Najimy arrive. This is a deviation from Perry's previous comedies as he introduces the audience into a hillbilly aspect of humor. Sumpter, Lively and Horsford, deliver solid work, but the stars of the picture are indeed Perry, Najimy and the Cable Guy himself.
The actor, writer, producer, director has received constant flack of his films universally appealing only to a African-American audience, but digging a bit deeper, there is a universal message that appeals to all cultures. This film examines the notion of tolerance. We might not all look the same, act the same or think the same, but we're all human beings; and in the case of love its colorblind.
The element of red-neck humor as some would call it, creates a bit of clash with the hilarious hi-jinks audiences have come to expect from Mabel Simmons. She has a bit of competition from Larry the Cable Guy and Najimy who produce just as many laughs as their counterpart, as they get to know each other over the holiday weekend.
Throw in a few pop culture references from the past, with a dose of kooky characters and you have a fun ride. "Tyler Perry's: A Madea Christmas" is not Perry's funniest comedy, I still hold that award to "Diary of a Mad Black Woman," which was quite dramatic, but hilarious at the same time.

David Guest has been the managing attorney of Earthjustice's Florida regional office in Tallahassee since 1990.
In 1978, he graduated from the University of Chicago Law School where he was a member of the law review. He has a B.Sc. in Government and Economics from Florida State University.
Since 1984, he has tried scores of environmental cases and has won several landmark decisions protecting navigable waters, establishing minimum flows and levels to protect aquatic ecosystems against excessive water withdrawal, preventing the sale and depredation of public lands, abating water pollution, and stopping the construction of new coal fired power plants.
In his spare time, he takes friends out on his 1968 hand-built pontoon boat to watch birds, manatees and other wildlife. He also maintains a small fleet of ancient cars, trailers and boats, as well as one 19 year-old golf cart.
Personal Story
As managing attorney for the Earthjustice office in Tallahassee, I have savored waging litigation wars with big corporations and their friends in government agencies. In courtrooms around Florida I have tried environmental cases for almost 30 years. In one way or another, they have been mostly about water. Before development, half of Florida was under water during the wet season and its 1,500 miles of coastline were teeming with life. But its beauty invited its consumption. Millions of acres were drained and converted into agricultural, industrial, and urban developments. As a result, rivers and lakes are being polluted and closed off to the public, ground waters are being depleted by uncontrolled withdrawals from aquifers, and the ecosystems that depend on water are threatened.
Most of my career has focused on going to court to fight for everything that can still be saved. Protecting rivers and lakes has not just required many weeks of bitterly contested trials against big corporations in their hometowns. It has also meant late nights poring over ancient maps, military records, and 150-year-old handwritten diaries. It has meant interviewing hundreds of witnesses in dingy restaurants and motels. (One interview was interrupted while the witness removed a 4-foot Black snake from the living room and chased it out the screen door with a broom.) And it has meant many hot days wading waist-deep in alligator infested rivers, marshes, and swamps, finding relief only with the driving rain of the late afternoon.
In the course of my work for Earthjustice, I have moved to the cities of the phosphate mining district of Southwest Florida for trials long and short. I once moved my whole office to a town of 3,000 on the shore of Lake Okeechobee for a six-week jury trial. And I have spent weeks at a time living out of motel rooms in small coastal towns while trying cases to protect manatees from speeding motor boats, estuary sea life from marina development, and sea turtles from the destruction of their nesting beaches.
My earlier water pollution cases were against the EPA, pulp mills and sugar companies. Now, I have come to realize that water contamination is an increasingly serious public health threat to disempowered people. My new cases are trying to halt the growing number of algae outbreaks in Florida lakes, streams and estuaries that kill wildlife and sicken humans.
Solving the hardest environmental problems by taking on the worst actors head-to-head can change people's attitudes about what is possible. That's why I'm with Earthjustice.
About Earthjustice

Index of Memorial Resolutions and Biographical Sketches
View in portable document format.
Esmond Emerson Snell, one of the outstanding biochemists of the 20th century, died in Boulder, Colorado, of prostate cancer and congestive heart failure at the age of 89 on December 9, 2003, six days after the death of his wife, Mary. He was recognized nationally and internationally for his pioneering research on vitamins and the chemistry of their actions. Especially noteworthy was his development of microbiological assays for the identification and isolation of factors essential for animal nutrition and the discovery of two new forms of vitamin B6, pyridoxal and pyridoxamine, and the elucidation of their catalytic mechanism.
Esmond was born September 22, 1914, in Salt Lake City to Hedwig Emma Ludwig and Huber C. Snell. His parents met while serving as Mormon missionaries, married in 1905, and had five children. Esmond and his siblings attended Provo High School and Brigham Young University. After receiving his B.A. in chemistry in 1935, Esmond received a $400 scholarship from the Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation and headed to the University of Wisconsin in Madison. There he earned an M.A. in biochemistry in 1936 and a Ph.D. in biochemistry in 1938. After moving to The University of Texas at Austin, Esmond married Mary Caroline Terrill, a senior chemistry major, on March 15, 1941. Mary and Esmond had four children: Richard, Allan, Margaret, and Esmond Jr., who was killed in action in Vietnam in 1968.
Esmond's long and distinguished academic career began in 1939 at The University of Texas at Austin as a postdoctoral research associate with Roger J. Williams. He was appointed assistant professor of chemistry in 1941 and associate professor in 1943. He returned to the University of Wisconsin in 1945 as associate professor of biochemistry. Subsequently, he served as professor of biochemistry at the University of Wisconsin (1947-1951), professor of chemistry at The University of Texas at Austin (1951-56), and professor of biochemistry at the University of California, Berkeley (1956-1976) including chairmanship of the Department of Biochemistry (1956-1962). He returned to The University of Texas at Austin in 1976 as professor of both microbiology and chemistry and was chairman of the Department of Microbiology from 1976-1980. He became Ashbel Smith Professor of Chemistry in 1980 and professor emeritus in 1990. During his long and productive career, he trained more than thirty Ph.D. students, had more than forty postdoctoral fellows and senior associates, and published about 400 scientific papers and reviews. He received numerous awards, including the Eli Lilly Award in Bacteriology and Immunology from the Society of American Bacteriologists (1945), the Mead-Johnson Vitamin B Complex Award from the American Institute of Nutrition (1946), the Osborne-Mendel Award from the American Institute of Nutrition (1951), the Kenneth A. Spencer Award from the American Chemical Society (1974), and the William C. Rose Award from the American Society of Biological Chemists (1985). He was elected to the National Academy of Sciences in 1955 and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1962. He received an Honorary Doctor of Science from the University of Wisconsin in 1982. He was a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science and the American Institute of Nutrition, a former chairman of the Division of Biological Chemistry of the American Chemical Society, and a former president of the American Society of Biological Chemists. He served on many national and international committees and editorial and advisory boards. He was editor of the Annual Review of Biochemistry from 1969-1983.
Esmond has described his personal odyssey in the paper, "From Bacterial Nutrition to Enzyme Structure." (Annual Review of Biochemistry 62:1-27 (1993)). His thesis project at the University of Wisconsin was to identify growth factors for lactic acid bacteria, which required complex media for growth. The experimental approach was to start with a simple medium and to determine what supplements were necessary for growth. This and later work resulted in the discovery of several vitamins and related substances, in the development of microbiological assays for following the purification of these substances, and in determining their concentration in nature. He published an assay for riboflavin in 1939, which was the first microbiological assay for a vitamin. This served as a prototype assay for each of the B vitamins. The method gave results comparable to those obtained by a much more lengthy, cumbersome, and expensive rat assay. The use of microbiological assays instead of animal assays for vitamins has resulted in untold savings in time and money. While at the University of Wisconsin, Esmond also published microbiological assays for pantothenic acid and nicotinic acid.
At The University of Texas in the early 1940s, Esmond, together with Hershel Mitchell and Roger Williams, purified a growth factor from four tons of spinach that was named "folic acid." The report of this work has been called "A Nutrition Classic." In the course of investigations of microbiological assays for vitamin B6 with different microorganisms, Esmond and his colleagues discovered two new forms of vitamin B6, subsequently identified as an aldehyde and an amino form, and named pyridoxal and pyridoxamine, respectively. While investigating the natural forms of vitamin B6, Esmond's group found that pyridoxal and pyridoxamine were readily interconverted by a fully reversible, non-enzymatic transamination reaction with glutamate and a-ketoglutarate. Further investigation showed that pyridoxal catalyzed a series of nonenzymatic reactions of amino acids that simulated closely the corresponding reactions catalyzed in living organisms by pyridoxal phosphate-dependent reactions. Detailed studies of these model, nonenzymatic reactions led to the proposal in 1954 of a general mechanism for the action of vitamin B6-dependent enzymes. It was a unique contribution to the field of enzymology because it provided a verifying mechanism to a wide range of apparently unrelated transfer or elimination reactions. In further studies of vitamin B6-dependent enzymes, Esmond's group discovered another closely related class of enzymes, the pyruvoyl enzymes. Histidine decarboxylase purified from Lactobacillus 30a, a Gram-positive organism, did not contain pyridoxal phosphate, as expected, but instead contained a covalently bound pyruvoyl prosthetic group. This group was shown to participate as a Schiff's base in the catalysis of decarboxylation and to arise from a specific serine residue in the proenzyme by a previously unobserved, intrachain, non-hyrolytic cleavage reaction. Peptide chain cleavage is coupled to an ab-elimination reaction to form an active enzyme that contains two chains, one of which has an N-terminal pyruvoyl residue. Several other enzymes have been found subsequently to have a pyruvoyl prosthetic group.
In addition to his scientific achievements, Esmond played a central role as a good citizen of the biological community and was widely regarded as a gentle, unassuming person. He served on many national and international committees and editorial advisory boards. Esmond was also highly regarded as a teacher and mentor. Typical were these comments by former graduate students: "He treated us all with respect, even when work was not going well. We all liked Es." And, "Esmond took me under his wing and taught me how to be a professional scientist. Without question, he has been the one person who has made the most impact on me and my life as a person and a scientist. He and Mary became my surrogate parents during my years as a graduate student." Esmond had a series of Japanese scientists in his laboratory at the University of California, Berkeley. After a lecture during a sabbatical stay at Osaka University in 1971, a student asked Esmond to write on a fancy paperboard a message for the students. Many Japanese and American scientists have copies of this statement, which summarizes Esmond's philosophy of science. He wrote,
Hard work on interesting problems is enjoyable and preferable to aimless wasting of leisure time. It may also lead to unexpected findings that give insights into important related problems. Such unexpected findings–sometimes called "luck"–frequently happen to the active researcher, but only rarely to those who prefer talk to study and work. So one should study and work hard, on interesting problems of any nature, with the purpose of explaining nature and helping others.

Clostridium Difficile
Clostridium difficile (C. diff) is a spore-forming, Gram-positive anaerobic bacillus that produces two exotoxins: toxin A and toxin B. Clostridium difficile is shed in feces. Any surface, device, or material that becomes contaminated with feces may serve as a reservoir for the Clostridium difficile spores. Clostridium difficile spores are transferred to patients mainly via the hands of healthcare personnel who have touched a contaminated surface or item. Clostridium difficile infection be prevented in hospitals by the prudent use of antibiotics; the use of contact precautions for patients with known or suspected Clostridium difficile infection; preventing contamination of the hands via glove use and handwashing; and implement an environmental cleaning and disinfection strategy.

Deadline Hollywood is reporting that Roberto Orci is the frontrunner to be hired to direct the forthcoming "Star Trek 3" - yes, we're getting another sequel. Orci has a vast resume as a writer and a producer, on the Star Trek films and various other big, noisy blockbusters, but he's never directed anything. Ever.
First-time feature directors have taken on huge blockbusters in the past, but they've usually come from the world of directing commercials or music videos (Rupert Sanders and "Snow White and the Huntsman" being a recent example). The latest case of a first-time feature director coming at a $100 million + project with zero directing experience is Wally Pfister on "Transcendence". And look how that worked out.
Needless to say, this only ever happens with male directors. Women directors just don't get hired for projects like this. But it's not too late! According to Deadline, "Paramount needed convincing" over Orci's credentials, although they concede "now it all could happen at warp speed". But since the deal has not been made official yet, we'd like to suggest that Paramount don't ignore their cold feet, and consider that just maybe, the risk of hiring a totally untested director on such a huge project is greater than the risk of hiring - gasp! - a woman with a track record.
There are dozens of women out there with the proven directorial experience to take on a project like this. Jamie Babbit has a superlative TV resume, as does Michelle MacLaren. Mimi Leder has been there and done that. Isabel Coixet could be the female Guillermo del Toro if given a chance. Lexi Alexander has proven she has the chops. Or what about an indie director like Tamara Jenkins, or Mary Harron, or Dee Rees, or Lone Scherfig, or... the list goes on and on and on. Of course, some of these women may scoff at the very idea of directing "Star Trek 3", and more power to them if so. But the point is that studios' willingness to take punts on totally unproven male directors, while continuing to ignore their female counterparts, is looking more and more ridiculous.

Utah head coach Jim Boylen has signed a new five-year contract.
May 12, 2009
SALT LAKE CITY - Jim Boylen, who led Utah to the 2009 Mountain West Conference tournament championship, a share of the MWC regular-season title and a No. 5 seed in the NCAA Tournament, has signed a new five-year contract. Under the new terms, Boylen will make $850,000 a year--a figure that could increase to $1 million with bonuses.
Boylen's contract includes an annual base salary of $200,000, with the remainder coming come from radio and television rights, camps, appearance fees, public speaking, fund raising and official outfitter compensation from Adidas.
The 2009 NABC District 17 Coach of the Year, Boylen has posted a 42-25 record in his first two seasons at the helm after taking over a program coming off two straight losing campaigns. Utah's 2009 NCAA appearance was its first since 2005 and its No. 5 seed was the best in the 10-year history of the Mountain West Conference.
"We are excited about the direction our basketball program is going under Jim and are confident that the best is yet to come," said Utah Director of Athletics Dr. Chris Hill. "Jim has shown a great deal of commitment and loyalty to this program and university. It was important to retain Jim not only for his coaching and recruiting skills, which are excellent, but for his tireless promoting of his sport and his commitment to his team's academics."
Boylen's team ranked in the top 70- to 80- percent in the nation in the latest Academic Progress Rate report.
Said Boylen, "I have a passion and enthusiasm for University of Utah basketball and I am excited for what the future holds. I am committed to taking this program to the highest level and this contract signifies the University's belief in me. When I took this job, I promised conference championships, national rankings, NCAA Tournament invitations and a return to national prominence. We are on our way, having accomplished the first three goals this past season, but we are nowhere near satisfied. We are going to continue to build this program and make our community proud."

WHEELING - The Ohio Valley Black Heritage Festival Committee is recognizing Lowe's for annually holding workshops for children during the festival's Family Fun Day.
Committee member Joyce Brooks presented Lowe's of Wheeling Assistant Manager Jeff Billman with an award thanking the store for its support. Jill Krumski, a Wheeling Lowe's employee, also accepted the same award on behalf of the St. Clairsville Lowe's.
"I like how they tailor it to children and encourage them to get handy at an early age," Brooks said of the workshops.

She noted depending on how many children participate, the program can last one to two hours. Brooks said the youth enjoy the hands-on activities that involve building something, such as a birdhouse.
This year's festival is slated from 2-9 p.m. June 30 at Wheeling's Heritage Port. In addition to the Lowe's children's tent, other day-long activities for children will include inflatables, clowns, balloons and face painting. Also, Future Leader awards will be presented to Jai'Ehir Jackson, a Wheeling Park High School student, and Kierstynn Agnew, a Bridgeport High School student.
Festival entertainment will include local gospel groups in addition to the Trumpets of Joy from Aliquippa, Pa., African drummer Baoku Moses from Senegal Africa and his Image Afro-Beat Band, as well as the soul band The Total Package of Youngstown, Ohio.

Direct Graduate PLUS Loans
Previously available only to parents of undergraduate college students, the Federal PLUS Loan Program, as part of the Federal Family Education Loan Program, includes graduate and professional students, giving those pursuing advanced degrees more options for financing their higher education.
Graduate and professional students with no adverse credit history will be eligible to borrow an amount equal to the difference between the cost of attendance and any financial aid (e.g., assistantships, fellowships and/or Federal Stafford loans).
Eligibility for both subsidized and unsubsidized Stafford loans will be determined by the student's completion of the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) before consideration of a PLUS loan.
The interest rate is fixed at 7.9%.
Repayment on the Federal PLUS loan for graduate students will begin within 60 days after the final loan disbursement, although students will be eligible for an in-school deferment. The student is responsible for interest payments during the deferred period.
If you decide to apply for a loan, you can begin the application process. Loyola will be notified electronically if you are approved so that we may certify your eligibility for this loan. You are encouraged to only borrow the amount that you actually determine that you need, rather than the maximum allowed.
Credit Criteria
Credit criteria are used for Graduate PLUS Loans. Students with adverse credit cannot be approved for the loan. A Graduate PLUS Loan applicant is considered to have adverse credit if he/she:
- Is 90 days or more delinquent on the repayment of any debt
- Had any debt discharged in bankruptcy any time during the 5 years preceding the date of the credit report
- Has been the subject of a default determination on any debt, foreclosure, tax lien, repossession, wage garnishment or write-off of a Title IV debt any time during the five years preceding the date of the credit report
Any person who is deemed creditworthy based on the above criteria can serve as an endorser for a Graduate PLUS Loan. Lenders develop their own policy about endorsers for Graduate PLUS Loans.
The fees assessed on Graduate PLUS Loans are the same as undergraduate PLUS Loans—a 3% origination fee that is paid to the federal government.
Graduate PLUS Loans can be disbursed in the same ways as other FFELP loans: individual check, electronic funds transfer (EFT) or paper check. If a Graduate PLUS Loan is disbursed by check, it will be made payable to both the school and to the graduate/professional student.
PLUS loans must enter repayment within 60 days of the loan's final disbursement. However, Graduate PLUS Loan borrowers can automatically receive an in-school deferment if they are enrolled at least half-time.
There is no grace period for Graduate PLUS loans.
Graduate PLUS Loan borrowers are required to pay the interest during the life of the loan (similar to the terms of Stafford Loans). Graduate PLUS Loan borrowers will be allowed to make quarterly interest payments on their loans. The repayment period will generally be five years, not counting any deferment or forbearance periods, but can be up to ten years.
Graduate PLUS Loans can be included in FFELP and Direct Lending Consolidation Loans.

The proposed IIM bill proposes setting up of an apex body that will act as a coordinating avenue for all IIMs similar to the IIT council. IIMs will be able to grant degrees rather than diplomas and can also confer academic distinctions or titles. Another provision of the Bill states that the institutions will have to undergo a periodic review every five years, and they would be evaluated on innovation, entrepreneurship, research, impact on trade and society, quality of teaching and governance, achieving a global standing, and achieving social equality through education and innovation.
The benefits of this bill are manifold. First and foremost, it can facilitate alliance among the IIMs (earlier attempts to do so outside the formal system have not yielded favorable results). The council can facilitate research and sharing of resources between students and faculty. It will be specifically beneficial to newer IIMs as they can learn a lot from possible collaborations and the ability to award degrees will go a long way in international recognition to their programs. Also, periodic reviews will make IIMs accountable and be a learning opportunity for the institutes.
IIMs are divided on their views on the proposed bill with more established ones (specially IIM A) opposing it as they will it will endanger their autonomy and newer ones supporting it expecting it to fast track their growth and bring international acceptance. Established IIMs also believe that it will hinder their on-going initiatives. For example, IIM A is trying to bring in faculties from all over the world and believe that the proposed legislation will slowdown such initiatives.
I believe government should go ahead with bill but it should make sure that institutes are autonomous as each of the 13 business schools are in different stages of their growth. Through this initiative government should ensure that new IIMs progress rapidly but at the same time making sure that individual IIMs maintain their distinctive characteristics and positioning.

Pakistani refugees preparing to go back to Swat at a refugee camp on the outskirts of Peshawar
JALOZAI CAMP, Pakistan (Reuters) – The Pakistani government began sending home on July 13 about 2 million people displaced two months ago by the army's assault on Taliban militants in the Swat Valley.
The army says it has pushed the Taliban out of their former bastion northwest of Islamabad, and the government is keen to move the displaced back to their homes.
The Swat exodus was one of the biggest human migrations of recent times, stretching Pakistan's resources to the breaking point and prompting a global appeal for humanitarian help.
The army launched the offensive in late April after militants took over a district just 100 kilometers (60 miles) from Islamabad, raising fears for U.S. ally Pakistan's stability and the safety of its nuclear weapons.
The army says more than 1,700 militants were killed in the fighting – independent casualty estimates are unavailable – but none of their leaders were among the casualties, leading to fears the fighters could re-emerge.
In the dusty tent camp of Jalozai, already baking hot in the early morning sun, buses and trucks were lined up on July 13 to take a first batch of people back to their homes.
"Thank God we're going back," said farmer Qaiser Khan.
"I don't know who's right and who's wrong. We want peace and if there are terrorists, miscreants, they should be eliminated once and for all," Khan said.
Most of the displaced people moved in with family or friends but nearly 300,000 were settled in tent camps.
Their plight is a sensitive issue for the government, which could see support for its more than two-month drive against the Taliban eroded if they are seen to be suffering unduly.
Fawad Ali, a 30-year-old barber, was loading his belongings, including donated bags of flour and lentils, onto the back of a truck as his family waited nearby.
Gone For Good?
He said he hoped the Taliban had gone for good.
"We're pinning our hopes on the government's efforts because we're jobless. They banned our business," Ali said, referring to a Taliban ban on barbers cutting men's hair.
"Hopefully, things will be different and I can feed my family," Ali said.
Chief minister of the North West Frontier Province Amir Haider Khan Hoti told a group of people going home the Taliban would be finished off.
"We will confront these elements, we will confront them together.... I assure you that in this war of survival for Pakistan we, and you, will win," Hoti said.
Signs on the ground offered a mixed picture of how successful their return might be.
Reporters who have visited the Swat's main town say there was some damage to homes in the fighting, but not much. Many of the displaced have lost their crops, however, and will need support for many months, aid workers say.
"I'm not sure whether my house is there or has been destroyed, but still I want to go back because it's my home," said Abdul Khaliq Khan, heading back to his village from Jalozai.
Security was tight on the road back to Swat, with soldiers only letting people on government buses through a checkpoint. Many people heading back on their own had to park by the road and wait while identity checks were made.
The government-appointed chief of Jalozai camp said no one was being forced to go home and the 108 families due to leave the camp on July 13 were all going voluntarily, a central concern of the United Nations.
"It'll pick up once they get back there and contact people here to tell them about the situation," said the camp leader, Tahir Orakzai.
"They have been living in hell here. They're not used to such weather," he said, referring to the sweltering temperatures in the lowland compared with the cooler climate in the higher-altitude Swat valley. "They're desperate to return."

By Kelso SturgeonPermanent residents of the sports betting world trust no one, believe no one and know for a fact the higher powers that rule sports have been rendered have no conscience and are absolutely amoral because of television money. If a little move here or there can please the TV networks, let's do what it takes to make them happy.Reality: a nine-year $24 billion contract, worth $2.6 billion to the NBA this season, rules the day. This means there will again be behind-the-scenes maneuvering to get the public's favorite team, the Golden State Warriors, and the popular LeBron James-led Cleveland Cavaliers to the championship round, which would insure the biggest TV audience in history.
Raptors Even Up Series vs. Cavaliers
Do we really have a series on our hands in the NBA's Eastern Conference Finals? The Toronto Raptors didn't roll over and become the third straight victim of a Cleveland Cavaliers sweep. The Raptors stepped up, defended their home floor and we now have a series tied at two games apiece. With two of the remaining three games in Cleveland though, does Toronto have a real chance to pull a monumental upset? Let's look at how the Raptors were able to win Games 3 & 4 and assess how that will translate going forward.The first thing that jumps out is that Toronto was able to win games that were both offense and defense-oriented. The 99-84 win in Game 3 was a relatively ugly affair. The Raptors only shot 44 percent, while the Cavs struggled to 35 percent. Game 4's 105-99 win was much more efficient on both sides, with Toronto sizzling at 54 percent while Cleveland shot 47 percent, a number usually good enough to win playoff games.

The maps were really just so I could get a leg up on posting the hack in the first place, and to get a little bit of practice in before the real deal.
All questions are welcome
Most Digimon will reach Mega level. All the digidestined Digimon will (Agumon, Gabumon, Renamon, Veemon, gomamon, etc.) and A large majority of the rest will. Certain Digimon don't have known digivolutions, or only digivolve to a certain point (MarineAngemon which is a Mega that has no digivolution, All the Armor digivolutions as they only digivolve once, Calumon who is similar to MarineAngemon, so on and so forth.)
I'm glad you're interested. If you PM me the link to your banner I can post it in the OP and credit you.
Update: I'm finally making a Devimon sprite. I have the front and back finished. I'll have the side finished tonight, and maybe start on the movement frames. This is just a little sidetrack from the battle sprites, which I have been working on for a few hours today.
oh ok ill be looking forward for the sprite of devimon good luck

The Sexual Assault Education and Prevention Specialist coordinates educational programming to the College community about sexual assault prevention. She also serves as an advocate for students who have been sexually assaulted.
The Sexual Assault Education and Prevention office is located in Room 109A in the Student Union. Hours of operation are posted on the office door. The telephone number is (304)788-6910, and the E-mail address is firstname.lastname@example.com.
What to Do If You Have Been Sexually Assaulted
1. Get Help! This is not the time to be alone. If there is no one to go to, and then call someone you can talk to, no matter how late it is.
2. Get medical attention . Any student who feels he/she has been sexually assaulted should call 911, go to the Emergency Room at Potomac Valley Hospital, or go to PSC's Student Health Center (M-F, 8:30 AM -5:00 PM).
The sooner a sexual assault is reported, the easier it is to collect valuable evidence and initiate support services for the victim. Within 96 hours of the assault, the medical evaluation and rape evidence exam are available through a local hospital. If you decide to press charges, physical specimens collected soon after the rape will be valuable evidence. Completing the evidence collection does not commit you to filing charges.
To facilitate evidence collection the victim:
• Should not bathe or douche.
• Should not eat or brush their teeth if oral contact has occurred.
• Should place soiled clothing in a paper bag (plastic bags destroy crucial evidence) to be taken to the emergency room or police department.
Medical attention is crucial for assessing internal injuries, sexually transmitted diseases, and possible pregnancy.
University Police may transport the victim to the hospital for medical attention. If the victim does not want to contact the Police, a friend or relative may transport the student to the hospital.
When the victim arrives at the emergency room, the hospital will offer to call the Family Crisis Center 1-800-698-1240 to arrange for a volunteer advocate to accompany the victim throughout the exam if she/he chooses.
Follow-up medical services can be arranged through PSC's Student Health Center at (304)788-6913.
3. Report the assault to the Police and/or College officials, whether or not you plan to file charges. (Reporting a rape does NOT commit you to filing charges. You can make that decision later.) Have someone go with you. You can go the next day, but the sooner the better. Sexual assault is a crime and we encourage all victims to report.
Victims and/or witnesses are strongly encouraged to report the assault to the WVU Title IX Coordinator:
Mr. James Goins
Director of Equity Assurance and Title IX Coordinator
WVU Division of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion
P.O. Box 6202
1085 Van Voorhis Road
Morgantown, WV 26506-6202
Phone: (304) 293-5600
Fax: (304)293-8279
Email: email@example.com
If the assault takes place off campus, students and/or victims should call 911 to contact the Keyser Police, Mineral County Sheriff's Department or WV State Police. In addition, the victim should notify the University Police.
4. Consider whether you want to file charges with the Police and /or through the Potomac State College of WVU Student Conduct Office. The following is a list of contacts:
University Police: (304) 788-6931 or 911
PSC's Student Conduct Office (304) 788-6910

OpenNMS is an enterprise-grade network management system published under the open-source model. It performs service monitoring, data collection and contains a robust event management and notification system.
OpenNMS uses RRDtool to store the time-series data that it collects, as well as to graph the data once it is collected. The collection is controlled via a group of XML files. Once configured, the data collection and display are fully automated. In addition, the collected data can be examined by the threshd process to generate alarms when thresholds are reached.
OpenNMS also uses RRDTool to graph response time data from its service polls (which can also generate threshold alarms), and the RRD files are stored in a logical file structure that can allow the collected data to be made available to other applications that use RRDTool.
For SNMP data collection, the OIDs of interest are placed into groups, and then these groups are associated with systemOIDs. When a new device is discovered, its systemOID is checked against those configured, and if a match is made data collection begins automatically. Another configuration file determines how the collected data is displayed using the RRDTool graph function, so that each graph can be customized appropriately, if need be.

LUBBOCK, Texas (AP) — Promoters of a traveling exhibit of artifacts and memorabilia belonging to Pope John Paul II have unveiled two items from the pontiff's life that will be on display.
The show opens March 15 in Lubbock in West Texas before going on to St. Louis and Washington, D.C., later in 2013. Dates for the stops after Lubbock are not yet set.
The exhibit will feature the coat of arms of John Paul, which is made up of 21 different types of wood. It will also include a portrait of him in later years waving his right hand.
The Rev. Malcolm Neyland says the pope's influence on the world is "undeniable" even years after his death in 2005. Neyland is executive director of the Lubbock-based nonprofit putting on the exhibit.

As we stay in tune with the arts comings and goings in Sao Paulo, Brazil because our good friend and artist, Herbert Baglione is born and bred there, we have been reading about the 29th Sao Paulo Biennial that has just opened. The piece up there is by Douglas Gordon of Scotland, which is pretty cool in looks. Here is a little summary, and read more at the link above.
The 29th São Paulo Biennial is therefore intended to celebrate art-making while also asserting art's responsibility towards life; to unsettle the senses at the same time as it generates knowledge not found anywhere else; to draw visitors into the irreducible experience artworks offer, as well as stressing their ability to critically reflect the world they are inscribed within. Ultimately, the 29th São Paulo Biennial is intended to offer examples of how art weaves its own politics.
The exhibition displays works by 159 artists from all over the world selected by the curatorial team.
