Why Is Canada Having An Olympic Training Camp?
by Paul on 08/23/13 at 08:25 AM ET
Comments (5)
from Damien Cox of The Spin at the Toronto Star,
Four days of Team Canada meetings, fishing outings and golf isn't going to help Steve Yzerman and Mike Babcock pick an Olympic team for the Rainbow Olympics in February scheduled for Sochi, Russia, nor is it going to help them win the tournament.
Foster team chemistry? When almost half of the 47 invitees are not going to make the cut when the team is announced? C'mon. Who is one supposed to bond with, exactly?
They can hand out the free stuff - Lord knows NHLers need more free t-shirts, etc. - let players know how one travels from North America to the Black Sea and even show some video and have a chalk talk on how Team Canada intends to navigate the larger international ice surface.
But none of that will help in February.

Yeah, the idiot sports writer who never knows what he's complaining about should definitely be questioning the methods of the group that put together the gold medal winning team at the last Olympics.

Pillow fights. It's got to be the pillow fights.

Your a bit off-base here Garth because while I have no love for Cox or what he writes, he's a Canadian writer writing for a Canadian audience.
His questioning Team Canada camp is no different than some in the US and other countries asking the exact same question. It's not about results, it's about the waste of time and resources. If insurance isn't covering any of these guys skating, there's no real point in the camp.
He's not singling out Canada though. He's asking a larger question that covers more than just Canada.

If insurance isn't covering any of these guys skating, there's no real point in the camp.
Yeah, except that you're not going to learn more about players running drills than you could watching game film. Fostering team chemistry is the exact reason for camps that are held five months before a the Olympics. Compiling a team for the Olympics is about personalities as it is about skill since they're putting together all-star teams.
How many people make an Olympic team because of the drills that were run in August rather than their play from October to December?
The bottom line is that if putting these guys through drills in August was the most important part of these camps, then they wouldn't be doing what they're doing.
Which brings me back to my original point. If Damon says there's no point but the Team Canada brain trust does (as well as the US, Russian and a bunch of other brain trusts) thn by default I'm likely to side with the hockey professionals rather than the *#$%@& writer who lives be be egative about everything…

As a Canadian living in Toronto (but cheering for the Wings), I definitely agree with Garth's assessment. How is it that the greatest hockey city in the world gets such a pointless blowhard as our main hockey writer? But wait! We also have Steve Simmons….....

Amazon Best Seller For Women's Health offering a huge discount for their best selling product The Suction Cup
For Women's Health, one of the best Amazon sellers in the health & beauty category has started a new 75% off promotion for their most efficient tool for losing belly fat fast: the suction cup.
This promotion has limited quantities, and women who want to lose belly fat fast and at the same time save money must use this link http://www.forwomenhealth.org/belly-80-off and this coupon code JPV93PTP on the checkout page to get their suction cup set for only $11.99, discounted from $44.99.
Before For Women's Health has started to sell suction cups on Amazon, their general manager, Samantha has tested the suction cups on 80 American women who wanted to lose belly fat fast.
These 80 women were their most loyal email subscribers and all of them were overweight and have started using suction cups on their stomach area twice per day, for 2 weeks.
They also followed a protein-based diet plan and exercised for 15 minutes daily. They received a few workout videos and a detailed meal plan.
After the 2 weeks of the test, 43 women have lost 2 inches from their waist and 27 of them have lost over 1 inch from their waistline.
Five of them have lost half of an inch from their waistline, while the remaining 5 women didn't see any results because they didn't use the cups daily.
The ones who also used the suction cups on their thighs drastically reduced their cellulite as well.
Because Samantha loved these results, she decided to start selling the suction cups on Amazon and to each of their clients, to give for free the fitness plan followed by the 80 women.
The suction cupping set is sold in a nice bag where their clients can find printed instruction on how to download the fitness system for free.
Below are the steps women must follow for losing belly fat with suction cups.
First, they need to apply coconut oil on the stomach area. This process can also be done in the shower, on the wet skin.
Then, they must get the air out of the suction cup by pinching it with their fingers.
While retaining the pressure on the suction cup, women must place it on the stomach area.
Once the suction cup has been placed in contact with the skin, they can release the pressure with their fingers. The skin from their belly will be sucked into the suction cup and the removal of belly fatty deposits can begin.
They must massage the stomach area by making circular movements for 1 minute.
The suction cup must be moved from the bottom to the top of the area they are stimulating. Once it reaches the top, the suction cup can be unstuck and the movement can be repeated for 3 minutes.
Once they have finished treating the stomach area, they can get air back into the suction cup and unstick it from the skin and then they can start cupping on the thigh area for similar results.
This process increases blood flow, makes the skin elastic and helps remove water retention. This is the reason why it was so efficient for the 75 women who did cupping massages daily.
Women who want to lose 2 inches from their waistline in just 2 weeks, have to use this link http://www.forwomenhealth.org/belly-80-off to buy the suction cups from Amazon with 75% OFF.
They must also use this coupon code JPV93PTP on the checkout page to get their suction cup set for only $11.99 on Amazon, discounted from $44.99, plus they will get the diet and exercise program for free.

JOLIET, Ill. - Tony Stewart's tirade at the end of Saturday's Pepsi 400 provided even more evidence of two alarming trends: First is Stewart's penchant to juvenile outbursts. Second is NASCAR's ability to provide consistent rule in stock car racing.
What Stewart did at the end of the race was wrong. What NASCAR did, however, was even worse.
Drivers were warned before the race that the track apron was off limits. In the past, some have used the apron at Daytona International Speedway as a passing lane. NASCAR put a yellow line at the bottom of the inside groove and declared anything left of the line was out of bounds.
Simple enough.
With four laps remaining, Stewart's Pontiac veered hard left below the yellow line, but the tire mark on the passenger door proved the maneuver wasn't intentional. He moved left to avoid Johnny Benson's car. Anything less would have created a massive crash.
NASCAR issued the black flag for moving below the yellow line. Stewart ignored it. They waved it again. And again. Stewart ignored the penalty and was the sixth person to cross the finish line.
Moments later, Stewart had a meltdown. Already on probation for slamming into Jeff Gordon's parked car on pit road after the race at Bristol, Tenn., Stewart took out his frustration by slapping a recorder from the hand of a reporter, then kicking it under one of the team's transporters. Then he went after Gary Nelson, NASCAR's competition director.
Stewart was stopped just short of turning a tantrum into battery. Car owner Joe Gibbs, who was animated on pit road while he and crew chief Greg Zipadelli argued the intent of their driver's move, grabbed Stewart just as he lunged toward NASCAR's top cop.
The sanctioning body could have suspended Stewart, but it then would have to offer an explanation to his sponsor, The Home Depot, which is the official home improvement store of NASCAR.
They instead hurt him in other ways. They dropped him to 26th in the final rundown - the last car on the lead lap -. The result was the loss of 65 points in the series championship race.
On Wednesday, it fined him $10,000 for "actions and conduct following the Pepsi 400," extended his probation until the end of the racing season and required him to offer formal apologies to the reporter and NASCAR.
Stewart's actions were childish and boorish. His flare-ups have become far too routine. His considerable talent is too often overshadowed by his temper and immaturity.
That said, Stewart was right to be angry.
NASCAR's rules seemingly are implemented at a whim. Other drivers, including his Joe Gibbs Racing teammate Bobby Labonte, went below the yellow line during the night, but none was penalized. The sanctioning body decided to make an example of Stewart.
"He didn't intentionally go down there to pass (Benson), but we did go below the line, and that's what the rule says," Zipadelli said in his best damage-control tone. "It doesn't say, 'Depends how you get there.' It just says, 'If you do go below the line.' If you look at it that way, we're getting the penalty that is coming to us."
Zipadelli then tried to explain the actions of his driver. It's not the first time the crew chief has tried to make excuses for a driver who lets his emotions overwhelm common sense.
When a driver ignores the black flag, NASCAR rules call for his scorecard to be confiscated. If the sanctioning body had followed its own rules, Stewart shouldn't have been scored on the final lap, putting him a lap behind at the finish. NASCAR decided to issue an arbitrary penalty by making him the final car on the lead lap. Not only did the governing body pick and choose which drivers to penalize, but it also went against its own rulebook in the punishment phase. When an organization doesn't follow its own rules, it erodes credibility.
Dave Blaney was knocked out of contention to win the race when Stewart escaped the out of bounds area and bounced off Blaney's Dodge. After the race, Blaney yelled at Stewart in the garage.
A day later, Blaney called Stewart and apologized. He watched a replay of the incident - the same replay NASCAR watched - and he agreed Stewart was only acting defensively to avoid a crash.
"The first thing he said was he was sorry, and I told him there was no need to be saying that," Blaney said. "If I had been in his shoes, I would have done the same thing."
The question is, would NASCAR?

Your high performers dislike meetings — especially if they run long. They see meetings as a wasteful interruption to their structured work day. The more meetings they have, the less satisfied they feel with their job.
Others enjoy meetings, though. Specifically, people working in teams require collaboration in order to get their job done, so they look forward to them. But no matter what, everyone appreciates it when they are well run and organized. Here are some tips on how to do that.
- Write up a bulleted agenda – email it out a few days before the meeting (along with any other pertinent info) so attendees can prepare.
- Set an objective for the meeting – make sure it is accomplished before the time is up.
- Only invite those who are needed – explain in their invite why their input is important.
- Break the meeting up into time blocks – and stick to your schedule.
- Cut people off if they are straying from the topic – but make sure the issue they raised gets addressed later.
- Take notes – write it down even if it seems unimportant now or you think you'll remember later.
- Dual purpose the meeting by adding fun; you can get stuff done while bonding with each other too.
It is 2010
- Consider whether an IM/chat session, a few emails, a dedicated discussion thread, or a conference call might be more efficient instead.
- Get unified focus – ban cell phones and laptops unless you are holding a brainstorming session.
- Conference in coworkers who are working from home or traveling. Take a video and send it to those who couldn't make it.
- Don't hog the spotlight – cycle meeting leaders to provide on-the-job developmental opportunities for your team.
- Follow-up on action items and review the items discussed via email after your session.
- Get anonymous feedback on the meeting. Ask questions like "was this meeting helpful/necessary?" or "could we have achieved the outcomes in a better/different way?" Then read it and consider the suggestions.

text: When writer Toni Morrison said that black artists always seem to move with ease, she was talking about someone like Al Green. He sings from the side of his mouth, seemingly straight from the heart — his every sigh, mutter, trill and moan worth 100 twenty-dollar words — yet it seems like he's just being Al. Which isn't to say that 1973's Call Me, now remastered to full luster, isn't about amazing singing, from phenomenal falsetto hollers to deep-throated innuendoes. Green delivers the seductive come-on "You Ought to Be With Me" with the righteousness of a holy man, and in "Jesus Is Waiting," he cries out like a man trapped in an ecstatic experience that's both spiritual and carnal. Explores Your Mind is earthier: The great soul singer revels in zipperless sex (the almost whimsical "One Nite Stand") and longs for innocence (the doo-wop-haunted "School Days"). The most poignant moment is "The City," wherein Green, who in 1974 was already quite world-weary, rapturously describes the bright lights and fame awaiting him in a distant metropolis. When he was singing about it, even ambition sounded like an act of faith.

These fail: B20, plain: bison -y -d gram.y B20, what configure came up with: bison -y -d -L /sw/cygwin-b20/share/ gram.y These pass: B20, using my installation path: bison -y -d -L /Program\ Files/cygnus/cygwin-b20/share/ gram.y 1.1.4, no -L needed: bison -y -d gram.y As far as I can tell Cygwin 1.1 has changed its root filesystem. In B20 "/" maps to "C:\". It seems that 1.1 maps "/" to "D:\cygwin\" in my case, i.e. relative to where it is installed. Using the strings program to look in the bison executables for "share", the default location of bison.simple, etc., shows that B20 has "/cygnus/cygwin-b20/share/" canned in while 1.1 has "/usr/share/". That means that 1.1 does not need an -L. On B20: $ mount Device Directory Type Flags C: / native text!=binary On 1.1: $ mount Device Directory Type Flags D:\cygwin\bin /usr/bin user binmode D:\cygwin\lib /usr/lib user binmode D:\cygwin / user binmode In both cases I installed Cygwin following the default options, apart from location to install to. They may both be tweakable to set mount maps. -- Pete Forman -./\.- Disclaimer: This post is originated Western Geophysical -./\.- by myself and does not represent pete(dot)forman(at)westgeo(dot)com -./\.- the opinion of Baker Hughes or http://www.crosswinds.net/~petef -./\.- its divisions.

23rd Chicago Open
May 22-26, 2014
The 23rd Annual Chicago Open was held May 22-26, 2014, at the Westin Chicago North Shore Hotel, 601 North Milwaukee Ave, Wheeling, Illinois.
The Open Section was won by GM Gabriel Sargissian who had better tie-breaks than IM Priyadharshan Kannappan. Both players were undefeated on their way to finishing with 7/9.
Kannappan also scored a GM norm along with IM Jeffery Xiong, while FM Michael Lee scored an IM norm. Xiong's GM norm comes on the back of Samuel Sevian's GM norm at the recent Foxwoods event making him the the second US 13-year old to earn a GM norm this year. He is two months older than Sevian and the two are currently the highest FIDE rated players in the world under the age of 14!
The final standings and prizes from all sections are now posted.

Andries, the eldest son of Claas Van Petten, born in September, 1684, married Maieke, daughter of Jacob Coenratse Ten Eyck of Albany, Dec. 26, 1712. They had seven children, only two of whom arrived at maturity and had families. He died in 1748, aged 62 years, — she died Jan. 31, 1779, at the age of 91 years, 9 months and 27 days.
On the 4th June, 1711, his father conveyed the foremost farm No. 3 to him together with horses, cows, etc.; and on the 6th March, 1713/4, he likewise conveyed to his son Claas "the two morgens which he owned in the hindmost lot No. 3, as it had been conveyed to him by Johannes Glen." (187-2)
On the 28 Oct., 1717, he received from the patentees of Schenectady a lease of "a certain piece of lowland about one mile from Schenectady on the south side of the Mohawk, bounded west by the land of Jacob Van Guyseling, north by the standing water [dove gat], South by the Commons, beginning by a small creek by the foot of the hill and runs from thence along the bounds of the said Jacob Van Guyseling, north 19 degrees E. 49 rods to the aforesaid standing water, thence S. 58 degrees E. 29 rods, thence South 34 degrees E. 55 rods, thence S. 35 degrees W. to the foot of said hill, thence along said hill to the place of Beginning, containing three morgens and 411 rods Dutch Rynland measure; — rent one skipple of wheat yearly, said to have been previously granted by patent to Bastiaen De Winter 47 years before." (187-3) This triangular parcel of land lay at the foot of the sand bluff between the Van Petten and the Van Guyseling farms.

Celebrity Siblings: Famous Brothers & Sisters We Love (or Didn't Know Were Related)by Free Britney at . Comments
Plenty of celebrity siblings are extremely well known. Others not so much.
We suppose it's not too surprising that there are so many good examples of brothers and sisters who have left their mark on show business at the same time.
From the Olsens to the Jacksons, Hemsworths, love-to-hate-them Kardashians and countless other sibs, sometimes star power just runs in the family.

Most companies use Twitter the same way they use advertising – as a one-way communication blast. Although it is easy to set up and manage your Twitter account this way, it is limiting and off-putting to your target audience. They quickly see through your self-serving Tweets, and tune you out. Often, for good. If you think of your website as "information central" and your Twitter account as an "outpost," gathering and sharing intelligence, then you've got the right idea.The three best ways to use Twitter in your marketing are:
- Research
- Building Awareness
- Establishing Authority
You can think of research in this sense as keeping your ear to the ground. Educators are talking and sharing on Twitter. They share what's happening in their classrooms and schools, what they think about education issues, and what they need help with. Twitter is a direct channel to the connected educator…the educator who is actively invested in learning how to be more effective by connecting with other educators across the country. Building a community of interest and awareness of your products is the goal on Twitter. It is not a direct sales channel. As you know, educators are particularly sensitive to marketing spiels. Once they determine you are more interested in selling your stuff than in helping them, they're gone. They'll pass right over you.
So, how do you build community and awareness without turning off educators?

The Opening wraps up with Fuller, Hunter Jr. making plays
The 2012 edition of The Opening wrapped up on Sunday at Nike's world headquarters with a mix of big plays, upsets and plenty of talented recruits on hand. Most of the day was dedicated to the 7ON tournament and in the end it was the 'Super Bad' team that rode a dominating defense and mixed in some big plays deep to pull the upset of the undefeated 'Field Generals' to capture the trophy.
BEAVERTON, Ore. -- The 2012 edition of The Opening wrapped up on Sunday at Nike's world headquarters with a mix of big plays, upsets and plenty of talented recruits on hand. Most of the day was dedicated to the 7ON tournament with play running from early morning to dusk and in the end it was the 'Super Bad' team that rode a dominating defense and mixed in some big plays deep to pull the upset of the undefeated 'Field Generals' to capture the trophy.
"It feels good," Olney (Md.) cornerback Kendall Fuller said. "We had an overall good weekend. The first semifinals game we kind of struggled but came back to the championship."
The four-star was part of a defense that featured Miami (Fla.) linebacker Matthew Thomas, Jersey City (N.J.) corner Tre' Bell and Fresno (Calif.) safety Hatari Byrd among others. However it was Fuller, who picked off USC-bound quarterback Max Browne by baiting him into an ill-advised throw, that was undoubtedly the biggest part of the Super Bad strategy by taking away an entire half of the field all day long.
"Early on I don't think I was getting a lot of action," Fuller said. "I was kind of getting mad because I wasn't getting as many interceptions as I wanted. I just had to stay patient and let it come to me."
The four-day event featured nearly 150 of the top players in the country and like many of them, Fuller was simply awestruck by what he experienced and saw over the past few nights thanks to Nike.
"I don't even thing words can explain it," he said. "Just being out here with all these guys… nice facilities ... it's a blessing."
For the second successive year The Opening players' lounge featured a barbershop for recruits to get any number of things cut into their hair. Fuller was one of several to take advantage of the perk, shaving Virginia Tech and Clemson's -- his two finalists -- logos into the left and right side of his head.
"I'm going to Virginia Tech next weekend and Clemson the weekend after that," he said. "I'm just going to see how I feel."
It is certainly possible a commitment could be forthcoming from the No. 42 player in the country after the two unofficial visits. While the tea leaves have been hard to read regarding which school he is leaning toward (he also says Michigan is a third team in the running), it should be noted that Fuller has two brothers currently on the Hokies' football team even if he says it's not a huge factor.
"A little bit but not a lot," the 2013 cornerback said. "When I get to [school], I'm going to have to go through all the hard work and play the games. To me it doesn't really matter."
Clemson recently picked up the No. 1 recruit in the country last month in Robert Nkemdiche and several Clemson commits at The Opening were joking/prodding for Fuller to be the latest top-100 commit for the Tigers. When he heard the news that the program landed the top recruit in his class, Fuller's ears definitely perked up.
"It's a really big draw," Fuller said. "It shows how special of a school Clemson is. They have such a good coaching staff and they're definitely coming up."
Fuller was also named to the Nike All-Tournament team following the conclusion of the 7ON portion of The Opening as well.
The conversation in the stands was repeated over and over on Sunday, 'Who's that?' Upon digging through their programs it was almost on cue that spectators' said, 'Ohhh,' when seeing Prosper (Texas) wide receiver Torii Hunter Junior's name. The reason they had to look him was because he didn't have the most recognizable face but he did end up making the biggest plays -- long touchdown after long touchdown for the winning squad -- during the 7ON tournament to be named overall MVP.
"It's a lot of fun playing against these guys," Hunter said. "It was definitely a big thing to get invited, I wasn't expecting it. For the longest, it was getting near the camp and I hadn't gotten invited. I went to the Dallas [Nike Camp] and did pretty good but didn't get an invitation. So I kind of waited it out and got a call two or three weeks ago.
"I'm thankful I got invited and am blessed to be here."
No stranger to the bright lights and media attention thanks to his father, the Los Angeles Angeles outfielder of the same name, Hunter Jr. was unsure of what The Opening would actually be like. Upon arriving in Oregon for a quick tour and getting to see what he'd be wearing over the weekend, it quickly became clear to the 6-foot, 175-pound wideout.
"The gear is probably the biggest surprise," he said. "It's crazy. Everything matches your team color, they gave you SPARQ training gear, everything. It's been great."
One of the top players in North Texas, the savvy route runner let his game do the talking in stringing together three consecutive days of impressive play. Although older folks in the stands recognized his names, Hunter Jr. was somewhat anonymous among his fellow recruits except when he let his play do the talking.
"Not really, a lot of people don't even recognize the name or expect Torii Hunter Jr. to be here," he said. "People didn't notice. I actually stayed with Corey Robinson, and his dad is [NBA Hall of Famer] David Robinson. So that was pretty good."
Hunter Jr. holds offers from schools such as Arizona, Arkansas, Mississippi State and Texas Tech among others and had nearly 750 yards receiving and 11 touchdowns last season as a junior. Recruited by some of the top programs in the country has meant an additional distraction from everyday life but the calm and collected receiver deals with the process by just taking it as it comes along.
"I got my 18th offer not too long ago so I'm sitting pretty good right now," he said. "I'm just going through the recruiting process and take some more visits. Hopefully I can narrow it down soon and get this thing done with."
The issue with visits is the busy summer baseball schedule that has Hunter Jr. scurrying all around. With only a limited window, he may run his unofficial visits together in a condensed period in order to see the schools he needs to before possibly picking one in the coming months. A solid baseball prospect in his own right (in addition to the good genes), he wants to play both sports in college and is undecided which one he would pick if forced to choose.
Also complicating Hunter Jr.'s recruiting is his two brothers, Money and Darius Hunter. Both hold several offers and the trio even has a few in common if they wanted to go to the same school. Darius was recently arrested for an alleged sexual assault and that has thrown the family for a loop and has his brother wishing for the best.
"I just hope he stays level-headed and gets his mind right," Hunter Jr. said. "I know it wasn't true [what he was accused of] and everything but I just want this to be an eye-opener. Hopefully he gets his priorities straight and focus on the task at hand and try and make it."
Hunter's father recently took a leave of absence from the Angels to deal with the situation but has since returned. While Hunter Jr. was catching touchdown passes on the fields of the Nike Campus, his dad went 1 for 3 and scored a run in a 6-0 victory against the Baltimore Orioles on Sunday. Though the two don't see each other as often as they like, each tries to make time to share the secrets of the game in both football and basketball.
"I can't really watch him a lot because I'm doing my own stuff," Junior said. "If I'm doing something wrong [in baseball] he'll give me just a quick tip and the next game I'll go 3 for 4 or something crazy. He just gives me tips and he's pretty good with that because he knows everything, well not everything, that I need to know. So I can tweak my game and make it better."
News and Notes
- The full 2012 The Opening 7ON All-Tournament team was wide receiver Ryan Switzer, linebacker Matthew Thomas, defensive back Cameron Burrows, corner Jourdan Lewis, running back Ryan Green, quarterback Max Browne, tight end Michigan Butt, linebacker Larenz Bryant and tight end O.J. Howard.
- The offensive line MVP was Denver Kirkland while 1-on-1 MVP for the big boys was Florida State commit Ira Denson. Defensive line MVP was Eddie Vanderdoes while Texas commit A'Shawn Robinson took home the one-on-one MVP for the d-line.
- Brentwood (Tenn.) defensive back Jalen Ramsey was one of the top corners at The Opening and tested extremely well during the SPARQ portion. He said he would announce his commitment on July 16th but will take an unofficial visit to Washington on the 9th before pulling the decision. USC, Vanderbilt, Washington, Tennessee, Ole Miss, Mississippi State and Auburn are his finalists.
"I'm pretty comfortable with a few schools, probably one in particular," he said. "I felt the 16th was a good date and initially wanted to do it on the 24th, my brother's birthday but my dad was going to be at work that day and I wanted to make sure my family is there for me."
- Milton (Fla.) wide receiver Isaiah Jones committed to Florida State while at The Opening in a surprise decision timing-wise. He cited the tradition the Seminoles have and the relationship he has with the coaching staff.
- Upland (Calif.) defensive lineman Joe Mathis listed his top 10: Alabama, USC, UCLA, Washington, Michigan, Nebraska, Texas A&M, Tennessee and Hawaii.
- Tampa (Fla.) defensive end Jordan Sherit said he will take a visit to Florida State soon but will hold off and likely take official visits to Stanford and Notre Dame. Those three schools are on his short list in addition to Vandy, Florida, <span data-shortcode= State" data-canon="Ohio Bobcats" data-type="SPORTS_OBJECT_TEAM" id="shortcode0">, Oklahoma and Miami. He mentioned that the Commodores coaching staff sent him a piece of mail to his hotel at The Opening.
"That goes to show that they're going out of their way to recruit me," Sherit said.
- Riverside (Calif.) tight end and Ohio State pledge Marcus Baugh had an interesting surprise when he first arrived at The Opening: his roommate was none other than Michigan-commit Butt.
"When I walked in the room, I saw his name on the other bed," Baugh said. "I knew who he was and where he was going. All I could do is laugh. We haven't done any talking about it."
As far as his commitment to Ohio State, Baugh said he can't wait to head out to Columbus in August. "I just want to get out there," he said, noting he speaks to coach Urban Meyer about once a week. "He seems like a pretty good and humble guy. But he doesn't show a lot of personality on the phone."
- Fresno (Calif.) safety Hatari Byrd said he's narrowed his college choices between UCLA, Washington, Cal, Notre Dame and Oklahoma.
"It's going to be a pretty hard decision," he said.
Asked what the best part of the recruiting process is: "A lot of people want to talk to you." And the worst part? "They want to talk to you all the time. I'm not complaining. Overall, it's all worth it."

From Thursday to Saturday of last week, I joined other members of the Minnesota Design Team for a project in Rushford, Minnesota. The Design Team is a volunteer organization of planners of every stripe – our team included architects, hydrologists, a transportation planner, urban designers, public finance and economic development consultants.
The process is akin to an extended charrette based on a volume of input received from community residents. The goal is to give additional tools and ideas to towns across Minnesota, which they can tailor and implement to improve the economic climate, physical design and political efficacy of their community. It's worked statewide since 1983.
For most readers, Rushford's name will conjur images of the flash flooding that devastated the town and surrounding region in August, 2007. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers presented recent findings suggesting the rainfall (in excess of 17 inches in areas of the watershed) approximated a "500-year flood" level. Collecting from a large area, the water converged on Rushford, flowing at over five times its usual volume and reaching a rate of 38,000 cubic feet per second. The impact of water that topped over levees and was trapped in town by the remainder of the dike system, has been tremendous.
The financial impact of the flood will exert a toll on Rushford for years to come. Many homeowners did not carry flood insurance, noting its cost. Today, mortgages remain due while some properties are now a lot with a hole in the ground, the homes having been demolished and removed. The state of recovery for businesses appears to have benefited from a state-appropriated $35 million dedicated to relief for damaged businesses across southeast Minnesota.
Still, citizens emphasized to us that Rushford, a settlement since the 1850s, has a long history of which the flood is just one recent chapter. The physical attributes of the place are striking – the confluence of the Root River and Rush Creek, the high bluffs typical of the geologic form known as the Driftless Area in southeast Minnesota, western Wisconsin and northeast Iowa.
Other strengths come to mind. School enrollment has diminished modestly but is projected to be stable in the next 5-10 years. Tax base has increased over 10% annually since 1999. A company called Rushford Hypersonic recently announced a partnership with the University of Minnesota to develop nanotechnology products from University research and patents. From one large coop employer in town, I heard words I don't often hear: "We have adequate access to a pool of skilled workers." Each of these trends is significant and positive.
Rushford and Washington, D.C. – the first subject in this series – are more different than they are alike. However, one of the key themes I discussed in the last post was the need for public and private entities to invest together in the success of places and the people who create them. Rushford is a great example of a community prepared to distinguish itself through investment of financial and sweat equity. My chief hope, beyond their success, is that these investments address safeguarding the town from future flooding.

AbstractRecently, the studies on the antiviral activities of marine natural products, especially marine polysaccharides, are attracting more and more attention all over the world. Marine-derived polysaccharides and their lower molecular weight oligosaccharide derivatives have been shown to possess a variety of antiviral activities. This paper will review the recent progress in research on the antiviral activities and the mechanisms of these polysaccharides obtained from marine organisms. In particular, it will provide an update on the antiviral actions of the sulfated polysaccharides derived from marine algae including carrageenans, alginates, and fucans, relating to their structure features and the structure–activity relationships. In addition, the recent findings on the different mechanisms of antiviral actions of marine polysaccharides and their potential for therapeutic application will also be summarized in detail.

The Impact of New Export Tax Rebate Policy on China's Export Trading Forms —— A New Application of Event-Study Analysis
ZHENG Gui-huan,Wang Shou-yang(1.Institute of Systems Science,Academy of Mathematics and Systems Science,Chinese Academy of Sciences,Beijing100080,China;2.School of Management,Graduate School of Chinese Academy of Sciences,Beijing100039,China)
China ' s new export tax rebate policy came into force from the very beginning of2004.Coupled with the decreased proportion from January to May,2004,the growth rate of China ' s general trade exports has slowed down.Against this backdrop,the impact of the tax rebate on export trading forms is a very interesting and important topic for study.In this paper,an event-study analysis is made on this topic from both sides of volume and structure.Our empirical results include:(1)The significance of average impact of the new policy on the volume has not very clearly appeared in the short time;(2)After the promulgation of the new policy,there existed an abnormal rising not only for general trade exports but also for exports through processing with im - ported materials.But the growth has apparently slowed down and tended to be stable with the implementation of the policy in2004;(3)There hasn ' t exhibited any structure implication.However,with further implementa - tion,the long-term influence of the policy should be studied.

My daughter is bi. She waited a long, loooooooooooooooong time to come out to us, an absurdly long time. She genuinely thought I didn't know and was anxious about what I, of all people, might say, LOL. Yeah, you read that right. Me. She was floored by how anti-climactic coming out to us was. I could've told her that I knew she was bi since she was 8 and said she wanted to marry nSync AND Britney Spears. If that wasn't a big enough clue, I might've figured a few things out by the time she campaigned her high school to allow s/s couple tickets for Homecoming and Prom — and then took her first girlfriend (who I wasn't supposed to acknowledge as her girlfriend since I wasn't supposed to know my daughter was bi yet) as a s/s couple to the dance. So yeah, not exactly a shocker. I knew, but I never pushed. I thought my daughter knew how I felt, what I believed (I've never suffered from a lack of shut up about my beliefs), and she would come to us when she was comfortable, in her own time.
She'd worked herself into quite the state once she finally decided it was time to fess up, though. Of course, it didn't matter to us. The only thing I care about and have ever cared about is that my kids are loved, respected and cherished by who they fall in love with. Race, gender, age, religion, where they are from or how much money they make is irrelevant. Frankly, I'd have bigger problems with political affiliation than anything else, but I might even possibly be persuaded to accept That Ultimate Evil as long as the tragically misguided soul treated my daughter like the Princess she is.
A lot of kids don't have that.
My daughter's first girlfriend risked being tossed out on her ear by her family if they found out. Not exaggerating.
My daughter's second girlfriend wasn't out to her parents, either. Her parents were supporting her through college and she couldn't gamble on losing that.
It kills me that any child or young adult would feel compelled to hide who they are inside to the people who love them (or should love them) most and if you think it doesn't slay me that my own kid was too afraid to tell me what was in her heart — for years — you would be wrong. I supported my daughter's fight for s/s couple ticketing for school dances, but that was just a fight I knew about. What about the struggles I didn't? The sneers at school. The hateful remarks. The bullying. My daughter didn't feel she could come to me with that. She suffered through it without her parents to lean on. Both of her ex-girlfriends still do.
That's why I support the Trevor Project. LGBTQ kids and young adults can call when they need that shoulder to lean on. 200,000+ cries for help have been answered. TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND. Please consider donating to the Trevor Project, which has the only 24/7 LGBTQ crisis intervention and suicide prevention program nation-wide. And please, talk to your kids. No, I mean it. TALK to them. In the end, my daughter waited years to tell us because she was afraid what people at church might think might be more important to us than she was. She was wrong, but it's my fault she felt that way. I'm the Mom. It's my duty and my privilege to make sure my kids know they are way more important to me than any church, any job, any anything. I failed at that.
Don't fail at it too. Learn from my mistakes. Don't assume they know. Make sure they do. Talk to your kids.
Today, I'm giving away a copy of my Riptide short story, Foreshock, randomly selected from comments below until 9:00 p.m. EST on May 20th. All of my royalties from Foreshock are being donated to the Trevor Project, but I'll also add an extra $50 to this month's donation, in honor of my daughter. From a humbled but grateful parent.
If YOU need help…
You are not alone. You are important and you are perfect exactly the way you are.

I have been at the beach for the majority of last week, so the news of Mahmoud Darwish's death didn't reach me until I arrived on monday. In case any of you are wondering who he is or what the big deal is, and it is a big deal, even for our fruity internet no-poetry-reading generation , well, his story is right here . Some of it anyway. Either way, our boy Darwish was an ardent communist, and god bless his heart, he wasn't like today's communists who cozy up to religious fundamentalists, so quite naturally Hamas hated his ass. They hated his ass even more after he published his recent poem lampooning them and Khaled Mesh3al, titled the Prophets of Gaza. Here is its text:
أنبياء غزة
لولا الحياء والظلام، لزرت غزة، دون أن أعرف الطريق إلى بيت أبي سفيان الجديد، ولا اسم النبي الجديد
ولولا أن محمداً هو خاتم الأنبياء، لصار لكل عصابةٍ نبيّ، ولكل صحابيّ ميليشيا
أعجبنا حزيران في ذكراه الأربعين: إن لم نجد مَنْ يهزمنا ثانيةً هزمنا أنفسنا بأيدينا لئلا ننسى
مهما نظرتَ في عينيّ.. فلن تجد نظرتي هناك. خَطَفَتْها فضيحة
قلبي ليس لي… ولا لأحد. لقد استقلَّ عني، دون أن يصبح حجراً
هل يعرفُ مَنْ يهتفُ على جثة ضحيّته – أخيه: (الله أكبر) أنه كافر إذ يرى الله على صورته هو: أصغرَ من كائنٍ بشريٍّ سويِّ التكوين ؟
أخفى السجينُ، الطامحُ إلى وراثة السجن، ابتسامةَ النصر عن الكاميرا. لكنه لم يفلح في كبح السعادة السائلة من عينيه
رُبَّما لأن النصّ المتعجِّل كان أَقوى من المُمثِّل
ما حاجتنا للنرجس، ما دمنا فلسطينيين
وما دمنا لا نعرف الفرق بين الجامع والجامعة، لأنهما من جذر لغوي واحد، فما حاجتنا للدولة… ما دامت هي والأيام إلى مصير واحد ؟
لافتة كبيرة على باب نادٍ ليليٍّ: نرحب بالفلسطينيين العائدين من المعركة. الدخول مجاناً .. وخمرتنا لا تُسْكِر
لا أستطيع الدفاع عن حقي في العمل، ماسحَ أحذيةٍ على الأرصفة
لأن من حقّ زبائني أن يعتبروني لصَّ أحذية ـ هكذا قال لي أستاذ جامعة
أنا والغريب على ابن عمِّي. وأنا وابن عمِّي على أَخي. وأَنا وشيخي عليَّ
هذا هو الدرس الأول في التربية الوطنية الجديدة، في أقبية الظلام
من يدخل الجنة أولا ً؟ مَنْ مات برصاص العدو، أم مَنْ مات برصاص الأخ ؟
بعض الفقهاء يقول: رُبَّ عَدُوٍّ لك ولدته أمّك
لا يغيظني الأصوليون، فهم مؤمنون على طريقتهم الخاصة، ولكن، يغيظني
أنصارهم العلمانيون، وأَنصارهم الملحدون الذين لا يؤمنون إلاّ بدين وحيد:
صورهم في التلفزيون
سألني: هل يدافع حارس جائع عن دارٍ سافر صاحبها، لقضاء إجازته الصيفية في الريفيرا الفرنسية أو الايطالية.. لا فرق؟
قُلْتُ: لا يدافع
وسألني: هل أنا + أنا = اثنين ؟
قلت: أنت وأنت أقلُّ من واحد
Since I am not going to translate this poem (I don't possess the english proficiency or literary prowess to actually do that), Let me just assure you that it's ripping Hamas a new asshole and making fun of its supporters and leaders, calling Mesh3el "the prisoner whose ambition is to inherit the prison", Lamenting the fundies insistence that the Mosque and University are equal in terms of education (the two arabic words describing them come from the same root) and expresses his deep anger at the secular and atheist supporters of Hamas, whom he believes only care about getting their faces on Television. So, yeah, our boy is no fan of hamas, and Hamas knew it, but they also knew how popular he is amongst the palestinian population, so they couldn't really go out and insult him, so they did it underhandedly: Mesh3el came out and said that Darwish's loss is a serious one for the palestinian people, but palestine can give birth to 10 Mahmoud Darwish's . So, really, not a big deal his death. Move along people. Nothing to see here. Don't get on our forums though: we call him an apostate there.
Ahh, I love me an angry fundie, and especially those who anger him in style.
RIP Mahmoud Darwish!

"our boy Darwish was an ardent communist, and god bless his heart, he wasn't like today's communists who cozy up to religious fundamentalists"
I need someone to explain that to me.
Aren't the two like oil and water?? Commies hate religion. And fundies hate everyone who isn't fundamentalist. So how on God's green earth do these two exist? If, God forbid, one of the two groups come to power they will crush the other side.
Political opposition has been so utterly wiped out by Muburak's regime that Egypt's "opposition" is a hodgepodge of a whole bunch of weird and random shit.
It's pretty sad and pathetic that Commies are still running around Egypt. The Cold War legacy still lives on in Egypt…Reply
I regret I do not speak Arabic.
And I regret I never heard the name of Mahmoud Darwish.
Here's an Egyptian who would piss off fundies:
A little snippet to tantalize:
"The Administrative Court explained its ruling on Hegazy's case in February 2007 by saying that it's prohibited "to switch from the superior religion, Islam, to the inferior one, Christianity…
…El-Gohary appeared on Dream TV last Saturday, accompanied by his lawyer. Also appearing on the same show was Mokhtar Nouh, lawyer and member of the Muslim Brotherhood. Nouh shared his theory that there is an American plan to divide Egyptians and disturb social order by making Muslims convert to Christianity."
Hard to believe.Reply
"Aren't the two like oil and water?? Commies hate religion. And fundies hate everyone who isn't fundamentalist. So how on God's green earth do these two exist? If, God forbid, one of the two groups come to power they will crush the other side."
There's nothing like a common enemy cough>IsraelUSA<cough to lead complete opposites into each others arms… Although I suspect this friendship is a tad bit one-sided in the fundie's favour.Reply
Poetry is very hard to translate bcs you miss all the nuances of the culture and language when you do and the genius of poetry is often its nuance and clever use of words and roots to play on ironies… nonetheless if someone could translate even a rough copy that would be appreicated.
Egypter –
The far left and the fundies have teamed up in the past – in Egypt and other Arab countrues as well I believe? as well as in the West…. if you go to Code Pink rallies in San Francisco you'll see the far left socialist/communists and the radical Islamists there speaking…
Good to have you back Sam… and a little batting around the ban button for a while would put a quick end to it… all you have to do is read the ridiculous bile in the Hezbollah thread – the troll with many names including yours…Reply
3. -> There's an eye-opener…!
I wouldn't have thought that a relatively secular country like Egypt actually have laws that forbid the conversion from one religion to another, even when it comes to Islam!
I also find it hard to believe that his family has been able to detain his daughter when he moved to Cyprys – which egyptian laws support this action?Reply
RIP Darwich sad that we are not seeing in the new generations someone to replace a Darwich, Youssef Chahin, Ahmed Zaki etc……Reply
I just don't get it…who gives a flying F^&*( if an adult converts from any religion to the other. Is that an affirmation for one religion over another? Does that make one better than the other and since when is a religion's success and image judged by the number of people that accept or reject it.
"Aren't the two like oil and water?? "
Peter: Only in Egypt brother, only in egypt. They've come to the conclusion that there's no way for them to put a dent in the current Mubarak mafia other than by combining forces. Its pandering on both ends in its worst form.
Having said that Che Guevara and Hassan al Bana have a lot in common.Reply
Yeah, they are both douche bags.Reply
"Yeah, they are both douche bags."
CLASSIC! Well put!Reply
I seriously dislike those people – such as above – who take any possible opportunity to turn the discussion into religion, and how Muslims are eeeeeviiiiiil… Seriously, niños, get over it.
As for Darwish: I was never a big fan of poetry nor of Darwish – even though I did attend his last public stage appearance – but I liked both his ability of carry a reader through an elaborate, page-long metaphor, as well as his diction and his way of reading.
I strongly recommend looking up his poems or, even better, seeing if there aren't any recordings of him reading (youtube or something).Reply
Mo, I think people have a grudge against islamist and other fundamentalist groups in particular, not muslims in general…Reply
Egypeter and CC,
Why is it that evey thread you have to inject Copts vs. Muslims. Aren't you tired already of this topic. Egypeter really man I mean it. You need to take it easy with this topic.
I can always scroll down of course but you are beating the hell out of this one.Reply
Inject? Are you referring to the Daily Star article I posted??
I didn't write the article and I surely didn't make those absurd quotes either. Why don't you ask those quoted to stop with the division game?? Can you tell me exactly where I said that Christianity is the more "superior" religion to Islam? Or that there is some American/Zionist plot to divide Egyptians? Oh wait, I've never said that. It's the fundamentalists that are saying this shit. THAT is what is dividing Egypt.
And Two, if you know anything about me – which you don't – you would know that I am SO fucking sick of the 'muslim v. christian' thing in Egypt!!! I'm ALL for just being Egyptian.
Adam B. Thanks. You said it perfectly.
Let me spell it out for you Two. I love Muslims, I HATE fundamentalists. Get it?Reply
Turette 😉
"Egypeter and CC,
Why is it that evey thread you have to inject Copts vs. Muslims. Aren't you tired already of this topic"
I missed the part about me saying anythig about copts or muslims; feel free to scroll up and point what I said.
Mo-ha-med: Who was it that brough the people of "another religion" into a simple issue of the treatment of Egyptians in European embassies? If you're going to add something to the dscussion at least try and pretend that a) you're objective and b) you have something inteliigent to say.Reply
I was SURE you'd say something like that. Fair enough, old chap, fair enough.
Although I ALWAYS have something intelligent to say. 🙂
As far as I'm concerned religion needs to be restricted by law to places of prayer. I can't think of one civilized nation that has a "state religion" . Complete separation of church/mosque/synagogue/temple and state. No gov't money to support religion or its institutions of any sort. This bullshit about religion being on the ID cards and then only certain religions are acceptable has to go. If someone wants to leave christianity then become a Hindu and then take up necrophilia as a religion so be it, thats his/her choice.Reply
17. CC -> I consider Denmark to be quite civilized and we do have a state religion (christianity, duh)… That being said, religion has very little say in our country, and you can live your entire life without having any dealings with the church whatsoever.
Still, the connection is being debated and many people would indeed like to see the state and the church separated, me included… Sweden separated the two in 2000 and Norway recently gave other religions the same rights concerning monetary support as their state church, so I can't see why we shouldn't be able to do the same…Reply

The tutorials page was getting very sloppy. The page was scrolling down forever, and I hope to keep adding to it, so I had to do something eventually. I now made it as just a kind of menu page, and each tutorial opens in it's own page. It might help SEO wise too, I don't know.
I added and subtracted from my reel, some stuff needed to be off there for sure.
I should have a new tutorial ready for next week, keep your eyes peeled.

It's that time of year again – and for many of us, it's what makes the rest of the year worth the wait. Maybe that's a bit dramatic, but still, it really is an exciting time for American art pottery collectors. For me, it's the perfect time to beautifully include my art pottery into my holiday decor. With my niece, who's now shown an interest in what I love so dearly, it's certainly that much more special. While I don't have an entire collection of any Roseville pattern, I do adore each piece I do own – it all has a story.
This year, I've already decided on what I'll be using as my centerpiece for both Thanksgiving and Christmas. If you're into "holiday mode", and wondering what you can do this year to add to the seasonal beauty, check out a few of my personal favorites – they may become yours too.
Roseville Bushberry
This glorious pattern is considered late period, as it made its debut in 1941. With the primary colors of blue, green and orange, they provide that rich color combination that's perfect for the holidays. There remains some debate, friendly debate, mind you – but debate nonetheless on how many shapes were included. The advertisements of the day tout 64; however, the factory stock pages only show 61. With a growing movement that makes the Roseville Bushberry pattern more valuable, it's finding a new popularity – which is quite impressive considering it's already a favorite among many Roseville collectors.
While some people don't believe in making their Roseville pottery into useful vessels on their dinner tables, it's just too hard for me to resist. While I would never put food in any of my pottery, I do like using the Roseville Pottery Bushberry Blue Bowl, which you can see here, for little non-food uses. Think toothpicks or even individually wrapped mints. Tip: Try to keep them out of reach of little hands – but understand if you're a lone pottery lover, your guests may not understand your efforts of keeping them out of little hands.
Roseville Clemantis
Roseville Clemantis is another beautiful choice for the holidays. It too is considered a late period pattern and was released just three years after Bushberry. It's the rich brown, blue and green color combinations that make this one a great choice – plus the red flowers remind you of Chrysanthemums, which, of course, is the traditional flower for Christmas. These are beautiful choices for holding dried flowers and make a spectacular centerpiece. Tip: I wouldn't encourage (in fact, I discourage) adding live flowers which will require water in the vessel. It's just a safety precaution I take.
There are several vases in this pattern – which is why they make great centerpieces. Consider adding matching dinner napkins (I use gold because of the centers in the flowers on my vases).
Of course, these are just a few ideas. Are you considering incorporating your Roseville Pottery? We'd love to hear about it! Leave us a comment or visit our Facebook page and our Just Art Pottery Roseville Pottery Facebook page. Photos are always great, too!

"That project, once announced will generate a lot of buzz in certain geek communities, as it's going to surprise a lot of people for what it is and what it's not. But it's in the very early embryonic stage and it depends on how well the project is received upon the presentation that is being prepared for John [Lasster] and Ed [Catmull].
The projects competing for 2014/2015 are the uber-secret film from Don Hall, which will be a marvelously unexpected project if it ever gets the green light, and Nathan Greno and Byron Howard's films which are deep in development."

Many performance enthusiasts have wondered, made claims and tossed conjectures about the performance impact from replacing the factory 195ºF thermostat with a cooler value thermostat on the GM 3800 Liter V6 (Naturally Aspirated L36 and Supercharged L67). The purpose of replacing the thermostat with a cooler one is to reduce the heat in the engine. This will theoretically provide a number of benefits. First, a cooler engine means the intake system will run cooler and thus not heat up incoming intake air as much. This affect increases the air density and result in increasing power output. Secondly, the reduced engine operating temperature should reduce combustion chamber temperatures. This affect should reduce the susceptibility of the compressed air/fuel charge from detonation. Reducing the onset of detonation will reduce the Knock Retard (KR) calculated by the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). Consequently, the PCM will provide greater spark advance timing. Greater spark advance timing typically produces more power output, to a point. Despite these theories that would indicate a cooler running engine should be able to produce more power, there is a point of contention that suggests the contrary. When an engine's combustion chamber and cylinder walls are cooler, then more heat is lost from the combustion process to the cooler combustion surfaces and results in less of the combustion energy being converted to mechanical energy. In scientific terms, this is called the overall engine efficiency. Namely, how efficient the engine is in converting the energy released by combusting fuel into mechanical energy. The cooler an engine is, the less efficient they become. The question then is, will the benefits from a cooler running engine out weigh the drawbacks of a cooler running engine.
To help resolve these theories and conjectures, I obtained a test vehicle (Pontiac Grand Prix GT, L36 engine) with a complete factory powertrain system. No performance modifications were done to the vehicle other than swapping out the thermostat for this test. The testing would involve replacing the factory 195ºF thermostat with a modified 180ºF thermostat obtained from ZZPerformance. The 180ºF thermostat was modified by drilling four small hoses around the thermostat body to permit a small amount of coolant flow through the cooling system even when the thermostat is closed. This modification results in reducing the thermostat's opening reaction time when the engine is relatively cool to begin with and is then challenged with prolonged wide open throttle runs. Without a drilled thermostat, the temperature of the cylinder heads can become quite elevated before the thermostat has a chance to open and establish coolant flow through the heads to cool them down.
Prior to the thermostat swap, I collected performance data to baseline the car's performance. After this data was collected, I changed out the thermostat and repeated the performance tests. The weather conditions for the day were hot and humid. During the factory thermostat testing, the ambient air temperature was 93ºF, humidity of 72% and a barometer of 30.02 "of Hg. The engine was thoroughly heat soaked and running at stable temperature by the PCM's Engine Coolant Temperature values. A total of 24 passes were used to collect all the performance data, with 4 replications for any one parameter. The results for replicated runs of each parameter were averaged together in the final analysis. The test conditions with the 180ºF thermostat installed were nearly identical, the ambient air temperature crept to 95ºF while the humidity and a barometer remained unchanged. The GT with the L36 engine was running on 87 octane and had ~3,000 miles on the engine.
As can be seen in the charts below, the gains in peak HP and Torque were ~2.5 WHP and 3.7 ft-lbs respectively. Also noteworthy is the torque and resulting HP curves were benefited throughout the entire RPM range. This dynamometer data would suggest running a cooler thermostat does produce a net benefit to producing more power. Looking at the volumetric data indicates almost a 1% increase in volumetric efficiency and total volumetric flow rate. This increase corroborates the increase in HP and Torque. What is also interesting is the slight increase in overall spark advance through reduction in Knock Retard. About 2º of advance was picked up. This increase in spark advance and the slight improvement in volumetric air flow is what produce the small but significant performance gains. My conclusion is this modification is beneficial to producing more power.
While these results were obtained on a completely stock GT with an L36 engine, they are representative of the gains to be made on more significantly modified L36 engines as well as L67 engines. The more modified the L36, the more problematic KR and engine heat become. I would estimate proportional increase would be observed on an L67 supercharged engine. If this is the case, replacing the stock 195ºF thermostat on an L67 engine with a 180ºF unit would extrapolate to a gain of 3 Peak HP and 4.5 ft-lbs Peak Torque. While these gains are not huge, they are significant and provide an edge over cars still running with a stock thermostat.
There are some other issues that do arise with running a cooler than stock thermostat. To begin with, all OBD-II computer controlled engines (all vehicles manufactured from ~1996 and on) monitor the Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) with a temperature sensor. If the engine fails to reach the programmed lower temperature set point, then the PCM will set a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) in the computer's memory and illuminate the Service Engine Soon (SES) light in the instrument dash panel. For most GM vehicles, this is typically around 170ºF. Furthermore, all the while the PCM sees the engine running below this set point, it considers the engine not warmed up and the PCM runs in what is called Open Loop Operation. This open loop condition has the engine running with preset fuel injection and spark advance values that are not optimal for performance and economy. Consequently, running continuously in open loop condition is a bad thing. Therefore, if one would conclude that running a 180ºF thermostat is good and running a 160ºF should be better, may find themselves with setting off the SES light and not achieving the performance and/or fuel economy they other wise would have.
Another issue that arises with the use of cooler thermostats is how the PCM uses the cooling fans behind the radiator to keep the engine cool. Nearly all contemporary cars now use electric fans to pull air through the radiator to cool the engine coolant. Only when the vehicle is at higher speeds (typically above 35 MPH) does the vehicle's motion naturally force air through the radiators and removes the need for the fans. Problems can even occur at higher speeds when drafting behind another vehicle and your car experiences less frontal air pressure. At lower speeds or in those special situations, the fans are necessary to keep the engine cool. However, these fans are controlled by the PCM and do not run all the time. Furthermore, the PCM typically controls the fans at two different speeds, Low Speed and High Speed. For many GM vehicles, the PCM will turn the fans to Low speed when the PCM sees the ECT reach ~215ºF and switches to High speed when the engine temperature reaches ~225ºF. Consequently, having a 180ºF thermostat will NOT have the engine running at ~180ºF when you are traveling below 35 MPH or in stop-n-go traffic. In this condition, the thermostat will be wide open, coolant racing through the radiator but without any airflow through the radiator, the coolant is not cooled down. Thus, the engine begins to superheat over the thermostat set temperature. To counteract this difficulty, a cooler thermostat must be complemented with a manual override cooling fan switch. With a cooling fan switch, you can command the fans to run when the PCM would otherwise have them off. With the manual fan switch activating the fans, you will be able to maintain the engine at the thermostat set temperature regardless if the car is standing still or traveling in stop-n-go traffic. Enthusiasts who enjoy trips to the local drag strip further take advantage of a cooling fan switch by allowing them to rapidly cool down their engines between passes down the track.

Moscow (Jun. 21)
Michael Schorr, a director of Soviet motion pictures, was sentenced to seven years' imprisonment and his divorced wife Ida, to five years, for not taking proper care of their son, Misha, now 15 years old.
The verdict is in line with the present policy of the Soviet government to develop greater respect for family life. Both Schorr and his former wife were accused of neglecting the child after their divorce.
Schorr left his wife several years ago and refused to pay for the support of their child. The divorced wife remarried shortly afterwards, and turned the child out of her house. The boy then joined a band of street urchins, wandered about with them for several years and was finally found ill and unconscious on the streets. He was taken to a hospital, where his foot had to be amputated.

Logan Alexander Wells, class president, opened the ceremony, recounting the school's "terrific achievements," something "that makes me proud to not only be a student of Nauset, but a member of this class."
Honks, hollers, and happy shouts greeted the 202 graduates of Nauset Regional High School Sunday as they made their way past the bleachers and down the aisles to stand at the front of the gym to welcoming applause.
Mothers and fathers left their seats and stood in the aisles, with their smartphones positioned to catch a photo of their graduate as they made their way to the stage to the traditional "Pomp and Circumstance."
"There she is!" one mother shouted out in excitement as her daughter slowed her step to flash her a smile.
Logan Alexander Wells, class president, opened the ceremony, recounting the school's "terrific achievements," something "that makes me proud to not only be a student of Nauset, but a member of this class."
He said he could imagine, over the next 20 years, " a consistent stream of news announcing how one member of this class is advocating for equal rights, how another continues to light up the playing field, or another is launching their own fashion line, or opening on Broadway."
Aubrey McDonough, in her salutatory address, recalled the "panicky feeling" she had on arriving for her first day of high school four years ago. "It may feel like the blink of an eye, but we've spent a lot of time here – 4, 680 hours to be exact. I did the math. That's 195 consecutive days of nothing but school, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, no bathroom breaks.
"I look around me and see kids who are no longer kids, but young adults who are going to college, in the armed forces, and into the working world… One day we'll be watching our own children graduate, maybe in this very gym. We've come a long way, but we we've got a long way to go."
After selections from the Honors Chorus, Davis Harnett, valedictorian, said, "You've been lucky to hear Aubrey, the best writer our grade has to offer, and Logan, surely our greatest speaker, and now you are stuck with me," the student with the highest grade point average.
"I can tell you to go out there and change the world and cure disease and leave a mark on history, but do you know how many billions of people there have been who haven't done that? The odds are not in your favor. But if you can close your eyes at night with a sense of satisfaction then you can consider yourself successful."
He advised his classmates "A lot of the world out there can be rough. You will find yourselves at times frustrated, depressed, disheartened or unmotivated. It is inevitable. But we only live once and it is a short life. It may seem like eternity now, but so did high school four years ago. Here I am telling you that life is short and difficult and prepared to beat you up at every turn. But that's no reason to not walk out of here smiling. If anything, it's just the opposite. Your first step from this gym is your first step toward true happiness. The training wheels are off now and we're on our own."

Local files for 1st District race
Election 2014 Georgia native Jason Yates running on four-point platform
Newberg resident Jason Yates has filed his candidacy for the 1st Congressional District.
The district includes Clatsop, Columbia, Washington and Yamhill counties and a section of southwest Multnomah County in Portland. The position has been held by the Democratic party since 1975 and is currently held by Suzanne Bonamici, who was elected to office in 2012 after David Wu resigned amid a flurry of personal and professional issues.
Yates, a native of Newnan, Ga., works as service manager at Bug Busters Pest Control in Newberg, said politics have always held his imagination.
Ive been interested in politics ever since I was a little kid, Yates said. Ive always looked at history books and learned about presidents. I always had that interest in the back of my mind.
For the past few years, hes worked with the Yamhill County Republicans and served on student government as a student at Santa Barbara City College and Portland State University. (He graduated from SBCC with an associates degree in English in 2009 and from PSU with a bachelors degree in film studies in 2013). But he said he doesnt think his lack of political experience should be viewed as an issue.
People in politics have grand political-filled resumes and are ruining the government, Yates said. I think its time a normal average Joe stands up for his or her community.
Four main issues prompted him decide to run for Congress: Obamacare, the recent government shut down, national debt and how much land in Oregon is owned by the federal government.
This particular election cycle, smaller social issues wont matter if these four (issues) overall arent handled, he said.
This was also his reasoning behind choosing Congress as his first political race in lieu of lower positions.
I felt the four issues most important to me, (I could) make a bigger impact in Congress, Yates said. A lot of people are able to run for Congress and Senate and be successful.
He pointed to Texas Sen. Ted Cruz as an example.
As for gathering the hundreds of thousands of dollars necessary to run a viable campaign for the Republican primary next spring and, should he win, the general election in November 2014, Yates said he is accepting donations on his website.
For more information about Yates, visit www.yatesforcongress.com. He is also hosting a meet-and-greet at 5 p.m. Saturday at Abbys Legendary Pizza.

Okay, so there isn't a really good reason for posting this other than I have to get this off of my mind somewhere, and this seemed the logical place.
I finished the Fate route for the second time just this morning... my first time was over a year ago (when v1.0 first came out), and now I can finally check out the UBW and HF route. Anyway, to my point, I remembered the ending being insanely depressing, the type of thing I couldn't get out of my head for weeks after the fact, but I forgot much of the details over the past year or so and also kind of assumed it wouldn't have as much of an effect on me being as I played through it already and knew what was going to happen. In short, I was wrong. Very wrong. Despite everything it still got to me as bad as the first time, this game is just too depressing! I'm not even sure if it should be really, have I just grown way too attached to the characters? Does everyone feel this way at the end? I mean, Shirou himself says that he's okay with it in the epilogue, but despite that it's still about the most bittersweet ending I have ever ran across in anything (whether that be a movie, game, etc.). What makes it almost worse is thinking of the fact that Saber and Shirou both took the best option they had, and it still was depressing as all hell. The only little glimmer of hope to be had was at the very end when it mentioned the continuation of the dream. I'm guessing this is mainly on how you interpret it, but it seemed like Saber somehow managed to reconnect with Shirou, if nothing else at least in some spiritual way. I feel almost silly having the game have this much impact on me, but I can't help it! It was an amazing ending, and I just can't get it out of my head. It was amazing, and mind-numbingly sad.
