The Vengeance Fullsuit is the swimmer's wetsuit. Designed for swimmers by swimmers, the Vengeance was built from the ground up with features carefully constructed to provide the most output in a swim. Fully coated with the slickest possible nano-super composite skin, it maintains an industry leading .02 drag co-efficient allowing for the smoothest possible swim. With unparalleled design similar to the Vendetta Fullsuit, the arms and shoulders have 6 anatomically correct panels, allowing for uncompromised arm and shoulder mobility. This means the wetsuit does not combat energy output from the stroke, arms don't fatigue from resistance with the material and results in a faster, more efficient swim. The Vengeance was designed with chest and torso thickness at 3 mm, and 5 mm in both the front and back of the legs. This aligns the swimmer to be more streamlined in the water, allows for natural range of motion in the stroke, and creates a feeling of "swimming downstream."
10 mile open water swims where flexibility in arms and shoulders is needed.
BOUYANCYFRONT: 5.0 mm-thick X-AIR neoprene from neck to ankles creates "dimple-effect" of captured air for maximum buoyancy
BACK: 3 mm neoprene
ARMS/SHOULDERS: 1.5 - 3mm of YAMAMOTO #39 & 40 neoprene
FLEXIBILITY6 anatomically-correct arm/shoulder panels allow for a natural range of motion in the swim stroke, for faster, smoother swimming with less effort
With a design based on our Vector Pro wetsuit, Vendetta reduces shoulder fatigue through unparalleled freedom of motion.
Lower-profile collar adds comfort and increased durability, ensuring that the suit stays intact and in place.
X-MAX Seam Seal technology uses a triple layer of glue and double-blind stitching to ensure long-lasting waterproof seams

Warranty Information
XTERRA Wetsuits are warranted against any manufacturing and material defects for 2 years from the date of purchase. Manufacturing and material defects covered under the 2 year warranty include seam tears or separations, stitching tears or separations, and gluing defects. The most common damage NOT covered under warranty includes the following: neoprene tears caused by human hands/ fingernails, melting due to heat or sun exposure, heel tears, chlorine damage, tears caused by sharp objects, general rubber tears, improper repairs, other damage unrelated to the seams, stitching, or glue.
The 2 year warranty only covers the original purchaser of the wetsuit, verified by transaction details. Coverage is voided if the wetsuit is sold or ownership is otherwise transferred. It is the responsibility of the customer to provide XTERRA Wetsuits Australia (TITAN Performance Group) with proof of original purchase.
It is expected that customers read, understand, and abide by the guidelines explained in the Care Guide.
XTERRA Wetsuits Australia (TITAN Performance Group) retains the right to determine whether damage is caused by normal wear and tear circumstances, manufacturing defects, accident, misuse, improper care, or negligence. XTERRA Wetsuits Australia (TITAN Performance Group) also retains the right to repair or replace valid warranty claims at their discretion; refunds are not an option for valid warranty claims. Exact product replacement depends on available inventory and no guarantee is made to process warranties within a certain time frame, but we endeavour to ensure you are not without a wetsuit for any prolonged period. If your wetsuit is useable and you have an event coming up, we highly recommend that you try and use the wetsuit or hire a wetsuit through other wetsuit hire service.

XTERRA Wetsuits Australia (TITAN Performance Group) will cover the cost of shipping back to the customer, as long as it is within Australia or New Zealand (other Asia-Pacific countries to be determined on a case by case basis).

**If your wetsuit has any damage, please read our Warranty Information for instructions on filing a warranty claim.
NOTE: Clearance/ Ex-hire items do not qualify for a return or exchange.
If you think your wetsuit may be the wrong size, we highly recommend reading our Fitting Guide.
We also suggest that you swim in your wetsuit before considering a size exchange. Normally we do not recommend the use of our wetsuits in chlorinated pools, however, if extenuating circumstances offer no alterative (i.e. harsh winter weather), then one brief swim is permitted under the 2 year warranty. To avoid chlorine damage to your wetsuit, we suggest that you limit your time in the pool to around 5 minutes and rinse the suit thoroughly with fresh water immediately afterwards.
Whether you decide to send back your wetsuit for a refund or an exchange, you are responsible for the shipping cost back to us. If a refund is requested, we will refund the cost of items returned. Shipping costs are never refunded. If an exchange is requested, we will ship the replacement wetsuit to you at no additional cost to you, but the initial shipping back of the wetsuit is the responsibility of the customer.
If you need your new wetsuit ASAP, or you would like to try on two sizes side by side to determine which has the best fit, simply place an order for the new wetsuit and send one back as a return instead of an exchange – as long as it is not permanently damaged or written, as above, and within the designated time frame.
To submit a return or exchange, please print and fill out the Returns & Exchange Form, and include it with your returned wetsuit.

Triathlon wetsuits are manufactured for a high level of speed and flexibility. They are a performance product and are not indestructible. Although XTERRA Wetsuit's warranty is unrivaled, there are a few types of damage we don't cover. Below are examples of accidental damage and damage caused by improper care that are not eligible for warranty claims.
Stress tears or "Fingernail tears" may or may not be caused by direct contact with fingernails. Fingernail and other minor tears from sharp objects are not a manufacturing defect. Minor tears like this will not affect the performance or integrity of the wetsuit whatsoever if it has been repaired correctly. Tears like this can be prevented by always using the pads of your fingers to put on a suit. Suits most commonly tear when pulled taught over the tip of the finger. It is also important never to pinch small folds of the suit and pull. The combination of the pulling and pinching can also cause the suit to tear. Make sure to grab large folds of the suit when pulling. The good news about these tears is you can easily repair them at home with a few drops of glue and about 5 minutes of your time.
1. Purchase/use standard wetsuit adhesive. Most swim, triathlon, or sporting goods stores carry this product; we recommend a product called Aqua Seal. Be sure to read all of the instructions that accompany the wetsuit adhesive you purchase to avoid discrepancies with the instructions provided below.
2. Lay the wetsuit on a flat surface.
3. Gently pinch open the tear in the wetsuit to expose both surfaces. Apply a thick, equal layer of adhesive to both surfaces. Use less glue on either edge of the tear than you think to avoid the glue from seeping out onto the surface of the wetsuit.
4. Position the tear so that it is flat (sitting naturally without any bumps or folds in the tear). Apply another thin layer of adhesive to the edges of the tear (or use the excess adhesive that seeps out of the tear once the flap is flat), and smooth the adhesive at the edge of tear with a paperclip or toothpick. Do not leave any adhesive on the surface of the suit; simply rub any excess adhesive off of the suit before it dries.
5. Leave the wetsuit on a dry, flat surface for 24 hours to dry.
Note: Once dry, the repair can appear shiny and may have a raised area. This is normal, and will not affect the performance of your swim.
A heel tear is caused by the foot, generally the heel, going through the leg of the suit while forcefully putting the suit on or taking it off. This damage is not easily repaired. The best option is to cut off the leg above the tear. The best way to avoid tears like this is to put a plastic bag over the foot when putting on the suit to reduce friction.
The highly flexible neoprene used in to make XTERRA Wetsuits are susceptible to melting when exposed to heat or direct sunlight. Damage like this most often occurs when the suit is left inside out to dry in a warm place like a garage, trunk, or outside in the sun, although it can happen any time the suit is exposed to moderate to extreme heat. The inside of the suit is insulated by the neoprene and causes it to get hot enough to cause the high performance neoprene to melt together. When the suit is pulled apart, parts of the suit may remain stuck together. Damage like this is not easy to repair. The best option is to avoid damage like this by drying your suit in a cool place out of the sun and to not leave your suit in the car longer than necessary.
For repairs that can't be glued at home, we highly recommend sending your wetsuit to a specialist wetsuit repairer. Please contact us and we can recommend a preferred partner in your area.

Being a new course, there are no improved tee pads, but that will come soon I'm sure. I am rather partial since I helped design, clear and install the course... as the course gets more use, the fairways and tees will get clearer and the footing will be better... We do ask that when you play this course, as with any other course, you respect the equipment and take care of any trash that you find... Montague township will be placing trash cans at the parking area this summer... Help us (Whitehall Disc Golf Club) make this an enjoyable course for all to play...

A nice technical course similar to Whitehall, but with overall shorter holes (250-300ft) with a couple longer holes (400+ ft). First hole is right over the water which kicks the round off to an interesting start. Great for practicing control and understanding the strengths in your game.

First time I've played here since last summer. The new tee signs look great! Lots of benches make waiting for the rest of the card much easier. Really easy to find the next hole because of marked trails. It's nice to see that some of the undergrowth has been trimmed back/thinned.
Only downside for me is that the course seems to be very turnover, FH, or lefty heavy.

Long,wooded and fun. 1st hole is over a small marsh, a lot of cat-tails.It almost ate my Gazelle driver. Came back and waded into the stinky, stagnate water to get it. A nice lay out. Nice baskets. Hope to see permanent hole makers. Will be back.
+0 votes Nate Smith › August 13, 2012
Beautiful area for a course. Holes are varied from high risk over water to tight dogleg holes both lefty and righty. Bring all your discs with some long holes, deep wooded rough, long approaches and drives with all flight patterns needed. Played here 4 times and each time is getting more lines cleared out, underbrush was cut for a tournament recently and tees are working in. Paths are also clear to navigate. Well worth a play in any situation.

The boisterous musical parade of Occupy Wall Street protesters took an unfortunate right turn in Manhattan Tuesday and wound up in some unfriendly territory.
In his new book the author says the movement is "gambling is that it can broadly and intelligently mobilize enough of the 99 percent to change the momentum of American politics over the long haul."
The "Occupy Wall Street" movement is organizing what it calls a nationwide "general strike" in conjunction with May Day, reports CNBC's Jackie DeAngelis.
After spending 2011 near the top of the news headlines, Occupy Wall Street finds itself in a struggle to regain relevance as a grassroots protest against corporate greed and Washington corruption.
Several major markets around the world will be closed Tuesday for May Day, which will help limit volatility for U.S. equities.
Occupy Wall Street protestors are out again, this time sleeping on sidewalks outside the NYSE, the New York Times reports.
Sallie Krawcheck, former president of global wealth management at Bank of America Merrill Lynch, discusses the relationship between Wall Street and clients. "These financial advisers are heroes," she tells CNBC's Squawk Box.
The grass really is greener on the other side of the fence in some places around the country. Here's where the biggest wealth gaps exist.
Wall Street used to be a magnet for America's best and brightest but between the economic slowdown and recent scandals like the Goldman Sachs employee that resigned via a NY Times op-ed, the industry's cachet has been tarnished.
The gap between the world's rich and poor will be far narrower in 2050. It will depend much less on where you live than on how educated you are.
The ethics of the rich have come under the spotlight since the credit crisis, as the behavior and ethics of the entire financial system has been criticized by politicians and the public.
New York police and sanitation workers cleared Zuccotti Park, where protesters from the Occupy Wall Street movement have been camped for nearly two months, in the early morning hours of Tuesday.
Raging malcontents with picket signs torching buildings, attacking police and obliterating the social order—that's what billionaire, leftist and one-percenter George Soros is forecasting for America and the Occupy movement.
Though many of the wealthy lean toward the Republican Party, in interviews, 1 percenters expressed a broad range of views on how to fix the economy. The New York Times reports.
With two trading days left in the year, "Fast Money" pro Anthony Scaramucci shared his 2012 predictions on Europe, gold, the U.S. dollar, Iran and Occupy Wall Street.
CNBC Contributor Michael Farr with his ten predictions for the New Year.
Like most years, 2011 presented challenges to small businesses. Let's look back at some of the most significant trends and happenings affecting small companies this past year.
For the first time in our survey, not one newsmaker emerged a winner. See how President Obama, Bernanke, Brian Moynihan and others fared.
As we seek your votes on this year's candidates, you'll note that we have few repeats from 2010 and only one person who also made our inaugural list of 2009.

You might track your portfolio against the S&P 500 (SNPINDEX:^GSPC), but what about the S&P 600? If your stock picks are geared toward long-term, market-beating returns with an emphasis on selecting premier small-cap stocks, the S&P 600 could be the benchmark you're actually looking to beat. And if you can't top it, you may want to consider taking up some shares of a well-allocated small-cap index fund.
Why the S&P 600?
While there are numerous candidates for a solid small-cap benchmark, including the Russell 2000, the S&P 600 is a superior choice. First, let's examine the historical returns of both the Russell 2000 and the S&P 600. Since 1994, the Russell 2000's annualized return has been 9.3%, while the S&P 600 has returned 11.1%.
This may be partially explained by the process of stock selection for the indexes. The Russell 2000 index is rebalanced annually to constitute the 2,000 smallest companies within the Russell 3000 index. Due to both upward and downward pressures as stocks are added to and subtracted from the Russell 2000, there may be consistent losses. One study found that a buy-and-hold portfolio based on the Russell 2000 index outperformed the rebalanced index from 1979 to 2004 by an average of 2.22% over one year and 17.29% over five years.
The S&P 600, meanwhile, is determined entirely by a committee vote. The committee requires that candidates for the S&P 600 post four consecutive quarters of positive earnings. A Foolish investor should love this requirement, which favors companies poised for rapid, sustainable growth. The disparity between the two indexes is even more evident when examining the percent of companies posting negative earnings. From 1997 to 2000, 16% of companies in the Russell 2000 never reported positive earnings, compared to 1.5% of companies in the S&P 600. In 2012, the difference was smaller, but still significant: 12% for the Russell 2000 and less than 5% for the S&P 600.
S&P 500 vs. S&P 600
If a large percentage of your portfolio comprises small caps, tracking performance against the S&P 500 is probably not the best benchmark for you. How different can the S&P 600 be? Well, over the past 10 years, the S&P 600 has almost doubled the S&P 500's returns, 134% to 76%.
Also consider that $1 invested over the 30 years from 1975 to 2005 returned $88.50 if invested in small-cap stocks, $65.30 if invested in mid-cap stocks, and $32.70 if invested in large-cap stocks. On the whole, small-cap stocks are much higher in risk and volatility. However, the market rewards investors who can stomach the higher peaks and lower troughs better than investors who seek out low volatility and security.
Off to the races?
Don't scramble to exchange your carefully crafted portfolio for small-cap funds just yet. The S&P 600 may have dominated the S&P 500 from 2000 to 2014, but this is not necessarily an indication of future performance, especially in the short term. Apple, a longtime large-cap and what some now call a megacap, has put even the S&P 600 to shame. From 2000 to 2014 would have returned an impressive 7,525%. Lastly, your personal time horizon for investing is a crucial consideration when looking at small-caps. For any class of equities, mid caps and large caps included, a good rule of thumb is to only invest money that you will not need for at least five years. Because small caps are much more volatile, it may take longer for a small-cap index to recover from a steep decline. If you don't have the time or the stomach to weather the ups and downs, perhaps look at less volatile investments. Understanding how the higher level of risk figures into your overall financial planning is essential.
Where to look next
If you find that your portfolio has indeed beaten the S&P 600 over the long term, that you're nearly there and hope to use your increasing financial education to get the best of the index, then keep these musings on small-cap index funds far in the back of your mind. If you have read this far, however, and find this sort of investing to be right for you, then you may want to look into the various mutual funds and ETFs that track the S&P 600 or other small-cap indexes. Vanguard, SPDR, iShares, and others all offer funds that closely track the performance of small-cap indexes, some with a tilt toward value or growth to suit your fancy. Always examine the expense ratio of a given fund to ensure that you're not overpaying. For reference, Vanguard offers its S&P Small-Cap 600 ETF (NYSEMKT:VIOO) for an expense ratio of 0.15%.
If the increased volatility and risk of small-cap indexes don't suit you, keep in mind that the S&P 500 is a famed benchmark for a reason. Index funds based on the S&P 500 can serve as a solid backbone for a portfolio or provide a good starting point for beginning investors. The SPDR S&P 500 (NYSEMKT:SPY) ETF, the Vanguard S&P 500 ETF (NYSEMKT:VOO), and the iShares Core S&P 500 (NYSEMKT:IVV) ETF are all strong choices for low-cost ETFs that closely track the performance of the S&P 500.

Some facts to know about diabetes.
Facts to know about diabetes:
Changing habits
Research from Kansas State University shows that focusing on the long-term benefits of being healthy — instead of looking for immediate rewards — can lead to healthier behaviors. For instance, you can stay on top of diabetes by thinking about how weight loss will reduce your risk, rather than simply avoiding chocolate for the day.
There are millions of people living in the U.S. with diabetes who don't know it, says the Centers for Disease Control and & Prevention. Twenty-four million people — or 11 percent of everyone 20 and older — have diabetes, while 13 million — or 23 percent of all people 60 and older — have diabetes.
Surgery works
A new study by researchers at Johns Hopkins shows that most people with diabetes who have weight-loss bariatric surgery may be able to stop taking diabetes medications. Just six months after surgery, 75 percent of the patients were able to eliminate their diabetes medications, and 85 percent were able to stop their medication after two years.
Bottle-fed babies
Childhood obesity may start with the bottle, says a new study published in Pediatrics. The study finds that babies who drank formula or breast milk out of a bottle learn to finish the bottle rather than stopping drinking when they're full. An easy trick to remember is to only feed babies about 2 ounces per pound over a 24-hour period.
Beef, lamb and pork
Eating these meats won't raise your risk of diabetes or heart problems, according to researchers at Harvard. But stay away from processed meats, because they contain more sodium and calories than unprocessed foods, according to a study review in Circulation.
Shared risk factors
Removing risk factors such as diabetes and depression can reduce the incidence of dementia and mild cognitive impairment, according to a 2010 study by researchers at the French National Institute of Medical Research in Montpelier, France. Patients with diabetes and depression have a threefold higher risk of developing dementia compared with those who have diabetes but not depression.
Weight gain and pregnancy
A study published in The Lancet shows that women who gain a significant amount of weight during pregnancy have larger babies. The babies with high birth weights are at greater risk of obesity and type 2 diabetes. The study finds that women who gained more than 52 pounds were 2.3 times as likely to have a baby with a high birth weight than those who gained 18 to 22 pounds.
Diabetes medication
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 14 percent of adults with diagnosed diabetes take insulin only, 13 percent take insulin and oral medication, 57 percent take oral medication only and 16 percent don't take either.

For some reason, my previous post was deleted. I've replaced one of the Xilinx chips on one of my broken boards and wondered if anyone knew what the amp draw through the l1 inductor was. I guess I'll measure it when I get my hands on a decent multi meter.
If anyone is interested in the process of replacing the Xilinx chips, let me know and I can type up a guide.

Here at Cocina Pacifica we have all-inclusive 3-day and 7-day itineraries to choose from. Meals, wine, cerveza, luxury accommodations, and excursions to markets, galleries, fishing, golf and shopping are all provided. (Except airfare)
Dinner class begins around 5pm each afternoon, with a break to have a glass of wine and toast the setting sun. We use the top chefs from local restaurants, each teaching you their personal favorites. Classes are very informal, with the emphasis on you learning wonderful dishes you can easily re-create at home.
Day Two
Breakfast served on the patio overlooking the Pacific from 7:00am to 8:30am.
• Planned Excursion: Leave Cocina Pacifica around 11:00 for a tour of Todos Santos, gallery visits and have lunch in town. Todos Santos is considered the "Sante Fe of Mexico" with dozens of artist galleries and studios.
• Fishing: Cabo is perhaps the most prolific sport-fishing destination in the world, with Marlin, tuna and Dorado (Mahi Mahi) biting year-round. We also have all the equipment for surf fishing right in our own backyard, along with plenty of instruction.
• Golf: There are a dozen world-class golf courses around Cabo, with two or three courses always named in Golf Digests Top 100 of the World. Cocina Pacifica can provide tee times and transportation upon request.
• Hiking: Want to do a little hiking and exploring? Four miles of pristine and secluded beach are at your doorstep, or you can follow the arroyos for about a mile to the foothills of the Sierra de la Laguna Mountains and climb small waterfalls and wade in streams for another ten miles.
• Feeling Adventuresome? For the surfers—or wannabes—Cerritos Beach is several miles north of us and is the premier surf break in Southern Baja. Lessons are available. How about an Ultra-light flight? Your pilot will pick you up on the beach in front of Cocina Pacifica and give you a birds-eye view of Baja and migrating whales. Like eating dust? Ten miles south, you can take 4-wheeler excursions into the arroyos and beaches. And the list is endless; just let us know what floats your boat and we'll make it happen.
• Absolutely Nothing: This is our favorite option! Have a day-long siesta at Cocina Pacifica, watching the whales from your hammock while warm pacific breezes gently rock you under the palms. Lunch will be served on the beach.

An insider who works for "a certain blonde haired blow-hard who has an obsession with our current president" has tipped us that a fleet of 15 passenger vans will be getting fuel from gas stations in Yonkers or New Rochelle that have otherwise been closed to the public.
It's pretty certain that there's thousands of storm victims who could put that gas to better use- hell, letting a monkey drive a go-cart around would be a better use- so it seems especially odious that the fuel is being used for something as fundamentally insipid as Trump's show.
So, about 17 of these vans will be cruising up the Westside highway tonight around 10 PM, beneficiaries of a special favor that's at best questionable.
I hope the gas stations at least really gouged him on the price.

Lipofectamine® 2000 Reagent is a proprietary formulation that facilitates highly efficient delivery of Stealth™ RNAi or short interfering RNA (siRNA) to mammalian cells for RNAi analysis. This reference provides general guidelines and an optimized procedure to transfect Stealth™ RNAi (or siRNA) into human MSC mesenchymal stem cells (Cambrex BioScience, Cat. No. PT-2501) using Lipofectamine® 2000 (Cat. No. 11668-027).
Note: While transfection conditions have been optimized to allow highly efficient delivery of Stealth™ RNAi into MSC cells, other factors related to the target gene of interest including the transcription rate of the target gene, the stability of the resulting protein, and efficacy of the Stealth™ RNAi sequence chosen can influence the degree of target gene knockdown observed. Take these factors into consideration when designing your RNAi experiment.
Guidelines for Transfection
Follow these important guidelines when transfecting Stealth™ RNA (or siRNA) into MSC cells using Lipofectamine® 2000:
- Use 400 nM Stealth™ RNAi (or siRNA) complexed with 2 µg/ml Lipofectamine® 2000 (stock solution is 1 mg/ml) for transfection. To increase accuracy and reduce assay variability, we recommend performing transfection in triplicate for each sample condition.
- Transfect MSC cells at 70% confluence.
- Do not add antibiotics to the medium during transfection as this reduces transfection efficiency and causes cell death.
- Use Opti-MEM® I Reduced Serum Medium (Cat. No. 31985-062) to dilute Lipofectamine® 2000 and Stealth™ RNAi (or siRNA) prior to complex formation.
Have the following reagents on hand before beginning:
* MSC cells maintained in Mesenchymal Stem Cell Basal Medium (MSCBM; Cambrex BioScience, Cat. No. PT-3238) supplemented with MSCGM SingleQuots (Cambrex BioScience, Cat. No. PT-4105)
Note: Use low-passage cells (passage 5 or lower); make sure that cells are healthy and greater than 90% viable before transfection.
* Stealth™ RNAi (or siRNA) of interest (20 µM in annealing buffer)
* Lipofectamine® 2000 Reagent (store at +4°C until use)
* Opti-MEM® I Reduced Serum Medium (pre-warm to 37°C before use)
* Appropriate tissue culture plates and supplies
Use this procedure to transfect Stealth™ RNAi (or siRNA) into MSC cells using Lipofectamine® 2000 in a 24-well format. For other formats, see the table in Recommended Reagent Amounts and Volumes for the appropriate reagent amounts to add. Tip: To reduce well-to-well variability when transfecting multiple replicates (e.g. triplicates), proportionally scale up the reagent volumes to form complexes (Step 2), then aliquot an equal volume of complexes into each well.
- One day before transfection, plate 3 x 104 MSC cells in 400 µl of growth medium without antibiotics per well. Cells should be 70% confluent at the time of transfection.
- For each transfection sample, prepare Stealth™ RNAi-Lipofectamine® 2000 complexes as follows:
- Dilute 200 pmol of Stealth™ RNAi (i.e. 10 µl of 20 µM Stealth™ RNAi) in 50 µl of Opti-MEM® I Reduced Serum Medium. Mix gently.
- Mix Lipofectamine™ 2000 gently before use, then dilute 1 µl in 50 µl of Opti-MEM® I Reduced Serum Medium. Mix gently and incubate for 15 minutes at room temperature.
- After the 15-minute incubation, combine the diluted Stealth™ RNAi and the diluted Lipofectamine® 2000 (total volume = 111 µl). Mix gently and incubate for 15 minutes at room temperature to allow complexes to form (solution may appear cloudy).
To transfect MSC cells in different tissue culture formats, vary the amounts of Stealth™ RNAi (or siRNA), Lipofectamine® 2000, cells, and medium used in proportion to the relative surface area, as shown in the table. Note: 20 µM Stealth™ RNAi or siRNA = 20 pmol/µl.

Sept. 21, 2006
SANTA CLARA, Calif. - United States Women's National Team head coach Greg Ryan announced his 24-player training camp roster Thursday for the squad's Oct. 1 friendly against Chinese Taipei. His roster includes a trio of former Santa Clara soccer standouts, as starting midfielders Leslie Osborne and Aly Wagner will be joined in camp by forward and 2005 SCU graduate Megan Kakadelas.
Kakadelas, a native of Carlsbad, Calif., transferred to the Mission Campus after her freshman season at USC, where she was named the Pac-10's Freshman of the Year. In three seasons at Santa Clara, she scored 18 goals and registered 26 assists while being a crucial part of two College Cup squads (2002 and `04).
The match will kick off at 1 p.m. live on ESPN2 as the conclusion to the first-ever Women's Nike Friendlies taking place at the HDC from Sept. 28-Oct. 1.
The Women's Nike Friendlies will feature 24 club teams, the U-16 Cal-South Girls' ODP Team, the U.S. U-15 and U-16 Girls' National Teams, and the U.S. U-17 Women's National Team, in four days of matches. The Women's Nike Friendlies will be the first event of its kind for youth women's players, and is modeled after the annual tournament for youth men staged in Bradenton, Fla. Each of the U.S. youth national teams will play three games in an environment which stresses quality soccer and player development over wins and losses. Tournament standings are not kept during the competition.
While 2006 Residency Training Camp came to an end in mid-September, the U.S. team will return for the pre-match training camp to the familiar surrounding of The HDC where the USA was encamped from April until a few weeks ago. Twenty of the 24 players named to the training camp roster were in Residency Training Camp at some point this year, but Ryan has given first call-ups three players while veteran defender Kate Markgraf was named to her first roster since the birth of her son on July 18. Ryan will choose 18 players from this roster to face Chinese Taipei.
Markgraf, a veteran of two Women's World Cups and two Olympic teams, trained with the USA for two days prior to its last match against Mexico in Rochester, N.Y., on Sept. 13, but this training camp marks her official return to the squad. She has played 146 times for the USA.
Forward Danesha Adams will come into her first training camp with the Women's National Team after an excellent performance at the 2006 FIFA U-20 Women's World Championship in Russia last month. Adams led the USA in scoring with three goals and won the Bronze Ball as the third most valuable player in the tournament. She also nailed both of her penalty kicks in the USA's shootout losses in the semifinal and third-place match. Adams, a junior at UCLA, has scored three goals in three matches for the Bruins since returning from Russia.
Ryan also called in two players from the U.S. team that won the FIFA U-19 Women's World Championship in Canada back in 2002. Keeley Dowling, an athletic central defender with a remarkable vertical leap who has seen time with the U.S. Under-21s, gets her first-call up to the senior squad. Dowling, who finished her eligibility at Tennessee in 2004, took ill on the morning of the World Championship final in 2002, but nevertheless put in a gutsy performance. She played the full match plus overtime as the Americans dramatically defeated Canada, 1-0, on a golden goal from current Women's National Team forward Lindsay Tarpley. Dowling, a member of the U.S. U-21s that won the 2004 Nordic Cup, played with the Charlotte Lady Eagles of the USL W-League in 2005, but this year has been playing in the Swedish First Division with KIF Orebro.
Ryan also called in forward Megan Kakadelas, a former Santa Clara University star, who crossed the ball that was eventually pounded home by Tarpley to win the inaugural FIFA youth world championship for women. A slithery dribbler, Kakadelas played her first college season at USC where she was the Pac-10 Freshman of the year. Kakadelas finished her eligibility for the Broncos in 2004.
The U.S. squad is led once again by team captain Kristine Lilly and forward Abby Wambach, the team leaders in scoring this year with eight and 10 goals, respectively. Wambach has 59 career goals in just 77 international matches and is just one away from tying Shannon MacMillan for sixth on the all-time U.S. goal scoring list.
In addition to Adams, Ryan called in two players currently involved in collegiate seasons in defender Stephanie Lopez and forward Megan Rapinoe, both from the University of Portland. Both Pilots saw action in the USA's last match, a 3-1 win over Mexico on Sept. 13. Defender Cat Whitehill will miss this training camp and match as she continues to recover from a foot injury.
The USA will play its final domestic match on Oct. 8 against Iceland at the University of Richmond Stadium in Richmond, Va. The match kicks off at 2 p.m. ET live on ESPN2. After playing Iceland, the USA's next games will be in South Korea at the 2006 Peace Queen Cup that will run from Oct. 28-Nov. 4 in six South Korean cities. That major tournament will lead into CONCACAF Women's World Cup qualifying, which will take the form of the 2006 CONCACAF Women's Gold Cup featuring the USA, Canada, Mexico, Panama, Trinidad & Tobago and Jamaica. The tournament will be held at the end of November in the United States with the dates, match-ups and venues to be determined.

Photo Challenge: Follow the Rule of Thirds
The rule of thirds applies to all visual art and is a concept that every photographer should know well. It states that when composing an image you should imagine there are lines dividing the image into nine equal parts (two equally-spaced horizontal lines and two equally-spaced vertical lines) and that important compositional elements should be placed along these lines or their intersections.
For this photo challenge, put the rule of thirds into action and show us your best image that utilizes it!

Voice, video and data are conveyed in a variety of different ways and those engaged in these fields will need a suitable tool kit and an appropriate level of expertise. Specialised equipment will also be required, both for installation work and for troubleshooting and repair. Many of the most frequently encountered problems arise not from equipment failures but in network cabling, and many pieces of kit have been developed to make the location of these faults much simpler. This, of course, requires much more than a multimeter or continuity tester, and many advanced LAN measurement devices are able to both monitor the performance of each element of a network and physically locate the position of any problems. Fibre optic-based systems require their own technology and problems often have to be located visually, often employing a fibre optic source or specialist video microscope. The telephone line tests may involve tone and probe equipment, and the testing of interfaces, such as RS232, may necessitate the use of breakout box types of testers to check the functioning of each pin. Instruments are available for all of these uses plus many more.

How to Access
Select Components → KM FasTrans → Installed Admin Languages from the drop-down menu on the back-end of your Joomla! installation or click the icon Installed Admin Languages in the control panel.
The KM FasTrans: Installed Administrator Languages allows you to make the same functions as the Joomla Language Manager Installed - Administrator screen. This is here only for ease and convenience. It also allows you to manage Language Permissions from KM FasTrans Permissions.
Column Headers
The Installed tab has the following column titles. These details are fetched from the XML file included in the language pack.
- Num. An indexing number automatically assigned by Joomla! for ease of reference.
- Language. Item language.
- Location. If the language is for Site or Administrator.
- Default. The default language of the Administrator, marked with a yellow graphical asterisk in this column. Note: to every user a language can be assigned (see "User Management"), user from groups "Administrator" and "Super Administrator" can select their preferred language themself at login.
- Version. The version number of the installed language.
- Date. The creation date of the language.
- Author. The name of the language translator is displayed in this column.
- Author E-mail. The e-mail address of the translator.
At the top right you will see the toolbar:
- Default. Select the Language that you want to be the default Language. Then click this button. The default star symbol will show in the Default column, indicating that this is now the default Language.
- Options. Opens the KM FasTrans Manager Options window. Allows setting of default permissions used for all content in this component and the KM FasTrans configuration parameters.
- Help. Opens this Help Screen.
Control Panel, Installed Languages and Dashboard Tabs
At the top left, above the columns, you will see four more links as shown below:
- Control Panel. Shows the KM FasTrans Control Panel. It contains links to various elements and important news about the component. It also contains the status of the four default items mentioned above. See KM FasTrans - Control Panel Screen.
- Installed Site Languages. Shows all installed Site languages and allows to establish the default language for the site. It is almost identical to Language Manager Installed-Site Screen and it is here for ease and convenience. KM FasTrans - Installed Site Screen.
- Content Languages. Shows the Content Languages available for the web site. KM FasTrans - Content Languages Screen.
- Translation Management Dashboard. Shows the main KM FasTrans screen. See KM FasTrans - Dashboard Screen.
Quick Tips
- Users can use any Language from the list of installed Languages, either by having it assigned in the User Manager or by filling out a Menu Item Manager - New/Edit - User Form Layout at the Front end. This will cause the Joomla! system prompts to be generated in this Language just for this User. For example, if a User chooses Spanish as their language, then the Search Module will show with prompts in Spanish.
- This User's choice is not affected by the Default Language set for the Front-end.
- Changing a User's Language or the Default Language does not affect the web site's Articles and other content.
- Important: Do not delete the default language files (for example, with FTP). This will create errors on both the Front-end and Back-end.

James Piereson: The Truth About the 'One Percent'
The typical 'rich' person works for a salary. Only 18% are in the financial industry.
'Income inequality" has emerged as the issue du jour in national politics, threatening to displace the unpopular health-care law and the slow-growing economy this election year. Speeches and columns now routinely attack the banks or "the undeserving rich" and call on Washington to do something to redistribute income from the "super rich" to the poor and middle class. Democrats from President Obama to the new mayor of New York City are leading the charge on behalf of the "99%."

Ex-Arsenal boss slams struggling Chelsea forward
Former-Arsenal manager George Graham insists his old side have nothing to fear when they face Fernando Torres on Saturday afternoon.
Arsenal welcome Chelsea to the Emirates Stadium this weekend with Roberto Di Matteo's side top of the Premier League table.
Torres has hit three goals so far this season, including a fine header in Chelsea's 6-0 midweek demolition of Wolves in the Capital One Cup.
But Graham believes the Spain international will not pose too much of a threat for the Gunners.
"You have to wonder what's happened to the Fernando Torres that was introduced at Liverpool?" Graham told Alan Brazil's talkSPORT show.
"He looked fantastic, was flying up either flank and making great runs. I just can't see him doing that again.
"Since he's gone to Chelsea he's not a hold-up player, he always wants the ball in channels."
Torres moved to Chelsea from Liverpool for £50m in January 2011, but has failed to live up to expectations at Stamford Bridge.
But this season has begun more positively for the Spaniard, and for Chelsea.
The Blues spent big this summer, bringing in Eden Hazard, Oscar, Victor Moses and Cesar Azpilicueta for more than £70m in total. And the investment seems to have paid off, with Hazard in particular settling quickly, and Chelsea are currently unbeaten atop the table.
Arsenal similarly endured a summer of transition, and have had to cope with the loss of star striker and last year's Premier League top scorer Robin Van Persie.
But Arsene Wenger's side have begun the season in fine form, and Saturday's crunch fixture pits two of the most in-form Premier League sides against each other.News Now - Sport News

Internal browning of pears stored under low oxygen conditions is related to restricted gas exchange inside the fruit, according to a study published March 7th in the open-access journal PLoS Computational Biology. Researchers at the Catholic University of Leuven in Belgium suggest a computer model that can be used to improve long-term storage of fruit under controlled atmospheres.
Pears and other fleshy fruit are commercially stored under low oxygen conditions to extend their storage life for up to 9 months. If the oxygen concentration in the storage atmosphere is too low, quality disorders such as internal browning may result, causing major economic losses. This disorder is known to be related to the complex mechanisms of gas exchange, respiration and fermentation in fruit. However, further conclusions are unavailable due to the lack of reliable methods to measure gas concentrations inside the fruit.
The team, led by Bart Nicola, has developed a comprehensive computer model to predict the oxygen concentration inside the pear. The model incorporates equations for gas transport as well as for the respiratory metabolism. The researchers found that extremely low oxygen concentrations can occur in the core of the pear, which eventually may lead to cell death and browning.
While the model was developed for pears, the model is generic. Application to other fleshy fruit and plant organs is straightforward, but the tissue properties and the geometry will need to be measured, Nicola says. Further advances require investigation of the internal microstructure of the tissue to explain differences in gas exchange properties and to quantify the cellular and intercellular pathways for gas exchange and the metabolic processes.

Green Tea and Red Wine Extracts interrupts Alzheimer's Disease Path...
Natural chemicals found in green tea and red wine may disrupt a key step of the Alzheimer's disease pathway, according to new research...
... the researchers identified the process which allows harmful clumps of protein to latch on to brain cells, causing them to die. They were able to interrupt this pathway using the purified extracts of EGCG from green tea and resveratrol from red wine.
... "When we added the extracts from red wine and green tea, which recent research has shown to re-shape amyloid proteins, the amyloid balls no longer harmed the nerve cells. We saw that this was because their shape was distorted, so they could no longer bind to prion and disrupt cell function.
"We also showed, for the first time, that when amyloid balls stick to prion, it triggers the production of even more amyloid, in a deadly vicious cycle," he added. [emphasis mine]

Thanks, Ruth. This is a very hopeful article. My grandmother had Alzheimer's and I have always had a terrible fear of getting it.
Yeah, when I read this I was relieved that I drink lots of green tea and take resveratrol. Maybe I don't have to worry quite as much.
New research shows that the ECGC in green tea prevents metal-associated amyloid from misfolding.
Green Tea Extract Interferes With the Formation of Amyloid Plaques ...
Researchers at the University of Michigan have found a new potential benefit of a molecule in green tea: preventing the misfolding of specific proteins in the brain.
The aggregation of these proteins, called metal-associated amyloids, is associated with Alzheimer's disease and other neurodegenerative conditions.
The specific molecule in green tea, ( -- )-epigallocatechin-3-gallate, also known as EGCG, prevented aggregate formation and broke down existing aggregate structures in the proteins that contained metals -- specifically copper, iron and zinc.

Sew . . . I'm Jennifer and I am so excited to show you my tutorial for a folded star quilt! Stop by my blog and I'd love to see your version of this great quilt! Hugs and stitches!
My sisters & I love to try new things. One day my youngest sister Katie, showed me a cool way to fold fabric and yield stars. I love origami and pop-up cards, so this was awesome! It is a very effective way to use a Moda layer cake because you need to start with a square piece of fabric.
Our work is "cut" out for us!
½ yard of binding fabric ("Tonal Bloom Sparrow#16055-28)
Fold the bottom edge of the fabric up to the top edge of the fabric to make a rectangle. Finger press.
Take the bottom edge of the fabric up to the middle crease line. Finger press. Open the fabric back up. Now you have made ¼ crease line.
Holding the ½ crease line, pick it up and bring up to the ¼ crease line. Be sure to only grab the top layer of fabric.
Again, pin the piece to hold it in place.
Sew the rows together with a 2 ½" sashing strip between each.
Add another 2 ½" border of the sashing fabric around the outside.
Cut the remaining 12 layer cake pieces into 2 ½" strips. Using various lengths, make a scrappy border. Make two of the rows 60" long and two rows 72" long. This will give you plenty of scrappy border to work with.
Sew the scrappy border on next.
Add another 2 ½" outer border of the sashing fabric.
Quilt as desired. When you quilt the top, I think it makes the stars really pop if you do not quilt on top of them.

With gas prices on the rise, everybody would like to get a few more miles out of each gallon. But not everybody has the drive or the means to replace their car.
The economic case for trading in a used car for hybrids, diesels, and other high-efficiency vehicles isn't always rock solid. While you save money at the pump, it's not always enough to make up the initial extra cost of these cars, sometimes for as long as a decade after you've bought one.
Thankfully, there are ways to improve your fuel economy without buying an entirely new car. Perhaps the best way is to change your driving style. Don't do burnouts at every stop light, keep a long following distance and try not to stop and start in traffic, and keep your RPM low. Depending on your current style, you could see a dramatic dive in fuel consumption. As usual, Jeremy Clarkson explains it all.
What are other great ways to increase fuel economy in your current car?

Let $L$ be a simple Lie algebra of Cartan type of absolute toral rank 2 over an algebraically closed field $\mathbb{F}$ of characteristic $p\geq 5$. Denote by $L_{[p]} $ the minimal $p$-envelope of $L$ and let ${\mathfrak t}$ be a 2-dimensional torus of $L_{[p]}$. For a nontrivial irreducible restricted $L_{[p]}$-module $V$ we denote by $\Gamma(V, {\mathfrak t})$ the set of weights of $V$ with respect to ${\mathfrak t}$.
In Section 10.7 of the book [H. Strade: Simple Lie algebras over fields of positive characteristic. II. Classifying the absolute toral rank two case] it is showed that $\Gamma(V, {\mathfrak t}) \cup$ {0} is a 2-dimensional vector space over the prime field $\mathbb{F}_p$.
In some cases the 0 weight is actually missing in $V$. For instance, this happens when $L$ is the Hamiltonian algebra $H(2;\underline{1};\Phi(\tau))^{(1)}$ and $V$ is the adjoint module. On the other hand, in this case does there exist a nontrivial restricted irreducible module $V$ for $L_{[p]}$ such that the 0 weight is in $\Gamma(V, {\mathfrak t})$?

Yep, it's true. For a whopping US$16 billion made up of US$12 billion in stock and US$4 billion in cash. If you include the additional US$3 billion in restricted stock units to WhatsApp's founders and employees as part of the deal, the total acquisition price goes up to US$19 billion.
In the unlikely event that the deal does not go through, Facebook will pay a breakup fee of $1 billion to WhatsApp, which is more than the amount Facebook paid to acquire Instagram.
"WhatsApp is on a path to connect 1 billion people. The services that reach that milestone are all incredibly valuable," Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg said in a statement. WhatsApp has over 450 million monthly users, 70% of whom are active on a given day. They are adding more than 1 million new registered users per day.
Facebook stock declined by more than 4.5% in after hours trading following the announcement.
Still, the Facebook Empire grows. They seem to be in the digital expansion mode like the Roman empire in their hey-days (offline mode).

Barnes' inside-the-park homer stuns Giants
SAN FRANCISCO -- Call it inside-the-park payback.
Brandon Barnes' line drive in the top of the ninth inning bounced past lunging Giants center fielder Angel Pagan for a two-run, inside-the-park home run to give the Rockies their fourth straight victory, 5-4, at AT&T Park on Saturday afternoon.View Full Game Coverage
SAN FRANCISCO -- Call it inside-the-park payback.
Brandon Barnes' line drive in the top of the ninth inning bounced past lunging Giants center fielder Angel Pagan for a two-run, inside-the-park home run to give the Rockies their fourth straight victory, 5-4, at AT&T Park on Saturday afternoon.View Full Game Coverage
Barnes didn't join the Rockies until this season, but already he knows the craziness between his club and the Giants.
"It's unbelievable, probably the coolest thing I've ever been a part of in baseball," Barnes said.
Both of Barnes' home runs this season have been inside the park. Not only that, but it was a measure of revenge for the Rockies, who watched Pagan beat them on a walk-off inside-the-park tally last May 25.
Trying to go home to home is a feature of Rockies-Giants games. Gregor Blanco tried to go the distance April 13 but was thrown out at the plate; the Giants, however, won that game on Brandon Crawford's 10th-inning homer.
"It just shows the fight in our club," said Rockies manager Walt Weiss, whose team has its longest win streak of the season. "I'm not worried about revenge or anything like that. We always talk about the games here and how crazy they are. It usually comes down to millimeters and milliseconds.
"Another one today."
At any rate, Barnes has become the Rockies' inside-the-park specialist. He pulled off the feat June 5 against the D-backs. On Saturday, his drive against Sergio Romo (3-3) -- who also took the loss and a blown save in Friday's 7-4 Rockies win -- came after Charlie Blackmon singled to left with two down on a 2-1 pitch. Pagan's ill-fated diving attempt let Barnes run free, and third-base coach Stu Cole waved him home.
"I don't think there was any point I was sure that was going to happen," Weiss said. "Stu did a great job waving him there. It was a very aggressive play."
Three of Romo's four blown saves this season have come against the Rockies.
"I think that's what got Angel a little bit -- it looked like a soft-served base hit, but it hit and really skipped and just got by him," Giants manager Bruce Bochy said. "That's a tough one for Sergio. He was throwing the ball well. Two outs, nobody on and they come up with a little blooper there, which is what happened. But it's baseball."
The victory was just the Rockies' 16th in 51 games at AT&T Park since the start of the 2009 season. A victory Sunday would give the Rockies their first three-game sweep at the Giants' home since Sept. 23-25, 2008.
There was typical Rockies-Giants craziness beyond the homer.
With one out in the bottom of the ninth, the Giants' Hector Sanchez hit an infield popup, but Rockies third baseman Charlie Culberson and shortstop Josh Rutledge collided for an error charged to Rutledge.
"It was tough for us, but we'll handle it afterward; we weren't going to make a big deal of it right there," Culberson said.
Rockies shortstop Troy Tulowitzki, who didn't start the game because of a right middle toe injury he suffered Friday night but did fly to center as a pinch-hitter in the ninth, saw the infield collision with the game on the line and said, "That's what you expect -- that's typical that something like that would happen here."
However, Rockies closer LaTroy Hawkins (13 saves) worked Pagan into a game-ending double-play grounder. The out at first base went to replay, and the ruling was that the call of first-base umpire Mike Muchlinski would stand.
The ninth-inning wildness made a winner of Rockies lefty reliever Rex Brothers (3-4), who entered in the eighth with a one-run deficit and struck out the side on nine pitches -- the first so-called "immaculate inning" in Rockies history, and the fifth in the Majors this season.
"I can't say any more than I was just trying to hit the glove," said Brothers, who has struggled on and off throughout the year. "I can't tell you any secrets to what I did today."
Rookie starter Christian Bergman gave up a solo homer to Hunter Pence in the first inning and a two-run shot to Buster Posey to tie the game at 3 in the fifth, but was mostly solid for six innings (eight hits, three strikeouts, no walks).
The Rockies' early scoring came off Giants starter Ryan Vogelsong. Colorado scored two runs on three hits, including Ryan Wheeler's RBI double and Blackmon's RBI single in the second and Rutledge's RBI double in the third.
The Giants, however, took a 4-3 lead in the seventh with two hits and a Posey sacrifice fly against Rockies righty reliever Adam Ottavino.

Governor Scott Stands with Israel
Governor Scott issued the following statement in response to recent congressional resolutions expressing America's unwavering commitment to Israel's security:
"I commend Florida's congressional delegation for supporting House Resolution 813 and Senate Resolution 599. These important resolutions reiterate America's unwavering support for Israel during this difficult time. When I visited Israel last year, I learned firsthand of Hamas' relentless campaign of terror against Israel's southern cities. Now, after a year in which Hamas has launched nearly 900 missile and rocket attacks, Israel has initiated defensive measures to protect its citizens. Like all democracies, Israel has the inherent right to act in self-defense to end terrorist attacks. I stand firmly with our ally Israel and offer my continued prayers for peace and security."
