Pipistrel-USA, a team from Pennsylvania has won the NASA CAFE Green Flight Challenge by flying an electric plane 200 miles in less than two hours.
The Google-sponsored contest was created to spur development of electric airplanes and visit web site buy cialis from canada efficient aircraft designs and with a first-place prize of $1.35 million, it could very well succeed at that.
The contest took place at the cialis online shop Sonoma County Airport in California and required entrants to fly 200 miles in two hours while using less than one gallon of fuel per occupant or the electricity equivalent. Pipistrel-USA's plane, the Taurus G4, had two occupants and used less than a two-gallon equivalent of http://roguelephant.com/indian-generic-levitra electricity. Check out the video above of a flight demonstration of the Taurus G4.
Both the winning Pipistrel-USA and the second place team flew electric airplanes. Only three teams out of 14 that registered met the contest's requirements.

What they fail to say is http://www.tenasys.com/viagra-endurance that a conventionally powered ultra-light plane of the same size could easily carry a fuel payload of many gallons, not merely '2 gallons equivalent'.
The only way to http://www.bsd-berlin.de/cialis-without-prescriptions truly improve the energy efficiency of canadian meds cialis aircraft is to radically change the propulsion system. Batteries are never going to make the grade, the only practical low cost power plant is a small thorium reactor driving a closed loop ammonia turbine which drives a gearbox which drives the propellors.

written by hyperspaced, October 14, 2011
If something "green" is going to fly is with hydrogen fuel cells, perhaps in 50 years.
UNTIL THEN: This effort is AMAZING. I only wish prizes were much bigger to motivate more talented people.

SEC media days, like almost any event with a roomful of reporters, used to be nirvana for Steve Spurrier. Of course, that was back when he was at Florida and had something to brag about.
Now Spurrier shows up at media days and he finds himself upstaged by Alabama's Nick "Death To Agents!" Saban one day and Vanderbilt's Robbie Caldwell the next. (Two of Caldwell's classics from Thursday: "I know the first question you're asking is, 'Who is Robbie Caldwell?'" and, "I can still walk in places and nobody knows me. Last night I was opening the door for people and they gave me a tip.")
But Spurrier admitted Thursday things have not gone as well as he had hoped since taking the South Carolina job in 2005. He punctuated his remarks with this: "I don't think I've won enough games lately to have any outlandish quotes. I'm just another ball coach trying to win a whole bunch of games that we haven't quite done yet."
Spurrier is 35-28 in five seasons at South Carolina. He went 122-27-1 with six SEC championships and one national title in 12 years at Florida. So he's already lost one more game in seven fewer seasons in Columbia.
"We didn't think we were going to just step in there and start tearing it up at South Carolina," he said. "Seven wins over five years is 35. In the history of the school, we've never had 35 wins in a straight five-year period. So we don't have tremendous tradition there over the long haul. We've not done poorly, but we just haven't done super."
In fairness, Spurrier's dealing with a different caliber of recruit. But he thinks it goes beyond that.
"I think I said [wanted to] change the attitude," Spurrier said, recalling when he took the job. "Our attitude around there has not changed. It's not changed to where we hope to be some day. We hope to be a team that can compete for the SEC year in and year out. Can we recruit the caliber of players to do that?"
Spurrier did have a few gems from his press conference. Among them:
♦ "Things are going well, academically. … I never thought I'd get a bigger bonus for our guys graduating than I did for the Bowl game, but that's what I did this year. I got a bigger bonus for our APR [Academic Progress Rate] improvement and our graduation and so forth. I didn't even know it was in there until [an official said], 'By the way, you got about this amount of money coming."
♦ "I don't think we've had but one player arrested in about two years, and those charges were dropped. That's pretty good nowadays, as we know."
♦ "I think [arrests are] more common now because players are getting arrested for everything that, in the old days, they did not get arrested for. I can sort of remember back in our day, if you were out and something happened, they would say, 'Can you get home? We'll drive you home,' to some of my teammates. They did not go into the tank that night. But nowadays you go straight to jail if you've broken the law."

After Richt goes 5-1 against him, SOS will announce his retirement. I hope we beat the crap out of them but I realize it will probably be another close one.
I don't care, just win.

It finally happened; I read an article about SOS and I didn't vomit in my mouth. South Carolina's mediocrity has even gotten to the Ole Ball Coach. I almost miss hating him so much.

Jeff, judging from these comments, you'd better start sporting some serious dark glasses and a toupee!
July 22nd, 2010
4:16 pm
the key to all of the discussion about off-season problems, wherever they may occur: "I think [arrests are] more common now because players are getting arrested for everything that, in the old days, they did not get arrested for. I can sort of remember back in our day, if you were out and something happened, they would say, 'Can you get home? We'll drive you home,' to some of my teammates. They did not go into the tank that night. But nowadays you go straight to jail if you've broken the law."
The players are 18-21 yo kids doing the same thing most all of their peers are doing. That does not excuse their actions, but the 'ol ball coach is dead on with his comments.
July 22nd, 2010
4:18 pm
Yeah, but South Carolina is #2 in percentage of lettermen returning this year. Don't shed tears for the ol' ball coach just yet. Plus, Marcus Lattimore will be lining up at RB.

July 22nd, 2010
4:35 pm
I still beileve Spurrier's biggest problem as USC is he does not have the horses he had at UF. If he could have the players at USC that are at UF and Bama, he would get the same type results that Saban and Meyer are getting. He's got pretty good talent at the starting positions, but no depth. That's one of the main reasons they have started off so strong and faded as the season progressed in the past few years. Don't underestimate him. He did things at UF that no one had ever done before. He did things in the SEC that no one had done since the "Bear". Could this be the year for USC? I don't think so based on their history, but you never know. Their first conference game against UGA will be telling for both programs.
July 22nd, 2010
4:43 pm
I have been saying it since February, look out for the ole' ball coach this year SEC. Lot's of guys coming back on that team and this year, if any year, is going to be Spurrier's year to make a move.
He'll beat the dawgs this year. I have said that since February this year too. Arkansas will beat the dawgs too.

I just find it interesting that he didn't know he had a bonus for athletes graduating. That seems like something that every coach and school wants to brag about. Last year he didn't read his ballot, and now he admits he didn't read his contract. Devil is in the details, coach.
July 22nd, 2010
5:36 pm
You will see the old Spurrier this year. Yeah, I know us Dawgs love to hate him but there is no way he just goes out a mediocre coach even at USC. In fact I think they will be good for the next 2 or 3 years. He goes until 70 and he has his day in the sunshine again.
July 22nd, 2010

The Ole' Ball Sack graduated 1 player and git the bonus. Is it hockey season yet?

Meant "got" Martini got in the way.
July 22nd, 2010

Spurrier's problem is his ego. I really believe the problem with South Carolina's offense is that there is no continuity. Spurrier is constantly switching QB's up and the offense can't gel because of it. He could get away with that at Florida because the Gators hand amazing NFL caliber talent on defense with Jevon Kearse, Lito Sheppard, Alex Brown and Fred Weary. They could bail the offense out if need be. But they don't have that capability at USC.
I also think that the Gamecocks are better at running the ball than people think. They ran the ball right down Clemson's throat with Kenny Miles rushing for 114 yards on 17 carries. When given the chance, they move the ball really well on the ground.But then in the bowl game vs. UConn, Spurrier only gave the ball to Miles 6 times for 23 yards. Well I'm sorry but when you have a guy who is playing well for you, and helping you win games; you give him the ball! To not give the ball to your play makers is just bad coaching. Spurrier is the kind of guy that would rather lose throwing the ball than win running it. Because he's had so much success with the passing game in the past, its hard for him to admit that it isn't working as well as it used to.
And finally, Spurrier will never be able to find a QB who can run his offense the way Danny Wuerffel could. Wuerffel and Spurrier were tailor made for each other. He's never going to be able to find a guy who has Wuerffel's intelligence and leadership ability. Not even guys like Doug Johnson and Rex Grossman could run Spurrier's offense the exact way he wanted it to be run. And the QB's he's had at USC have just been idiots on and off the field. Its not that Wade Mitchell or Stephen Garcia aren't talented guys, they just don't have a winner mentality. They don't have any desire or drive to be better than middle of the pack. And when you have to hang your hat on guys like that to lead you team, it rarely leads to success.
July 22nd, 2010
5:45 pm
Spurrier just does not have the players. All you have to do is look at the QBs he's had. Garcia has been wildy inconsistant. If he turns it around the Gamecocks will surprise some people.
I still think the Dawgs are in for a tough game in Columbia but any reasonable fan has to agree that it will be for both sides. Critical game for both teams. A win could be a springboard to a solid season for the winner.

Connor Shaw is a true freshman this season at South Carolina. He was an early enrollee in the spring. About the same size as Murray at 6 feet, 199 lbs. He passed for 3,100 yards and 30 TDs with 6 INTs and also rushed for 800 yards and 17 scores as a senior.
Another comparison at this point would be with true freshman Hutson Mason (not an early enrollee.) Mason played in a 90% pass shotgun offense based on the Hoover HS (Alabama) offense. His HS coach is OC at Troy starting this year.

carolina's problem is obvious to anyone with a brain.they have No running game.Mainly from not having the big strong guys up front like most of the sec. maybe latimore can change that but without the strength up front i doubt it.other then that their passing game is decent.but what makes them a threat is their stellar D. Cant wait till september.

Look for georgia to blow out south carolina, as usual. USC will be lucky to win 7 games. Spurrier needs to hang it up—his act got old 10 years ago.

Spurrier like him or not is as straight a shooter as there is. Only thing I have against Police Enforcement is they are running it like they are in corporate sales and even though they say they don't have quotas we all know they do and this towns and even big cities depend on people being arrested to generate revenue. That's not what it was meant to be. So Spurrier is right about that, over the years greedy mayors and accountants had to think of ways to crawl out of holes they dug themselves into- And I do believe that's why when you get a speeding ticket or hell even a parking ticket sometimes is 150.00
I am still waiting for Steve Spurrier to sign a Black Quaterback? I think the media is too soft on him for that but he has never had one to my knowledge ever on his roster as long as he has coached.

How is a mediocre team that was blown out by UCONN going to challenge for the SEC East? They are on their 3rd offensive line coach in 3 years. As great as you COOTS think Lattimore is, he still needs an offensive line to block for him. Yes, they have some players returning that have experience but do they have talent? NO. They have no SEC caliber depth. Look at their recruiting the past three years. Today they are rated at number 54 by Scout. That is better than only VANDY in the SEC! Spurrier is coasting and has been coasting. This is the time of year that Spurrier rescends scholarships to COOT players. These are the COOTS. They will always be the COOTS and that is a synonim for mediocrity.

How is the diagnosis of fetal alcohol syndrome made?
The diagnosis of FAS must be based on solid evidence. FAS is a diagnosis of great importance for the entire lifetime of the child, not to speak of its implications for the child's mother and other family members.
To establish a diagnosis of FAS, by convention, the following minimal criteria are met:
These criteria are used for the following reasons:

Judy McLean knew food service was her future after six years in the Army, and now she has been making her catering business a reality for four years.
"I know food. So that really wasn't my issue," said McLean, who now owns and operates Let Me Cater to You. "It was knowing taxes, and knowing the laws."
McLean got advice from the Center for Economic Empowerment and Development in Downtown Fayetteville.
"There are resources available. They're out there," McLean said. "You just have to tap into them."
Another option for current soldiers looking to leave the Army soon is the Boots to Business program. It is a two-day course that teaches soldiers the basics of business planning.
"Also letting them know that being a veteran and being in the military has prepared them," explained Tamara Bryant at Fayetteville Technical Community College. "They are natural entrepreneurs -- being goal-oriented, self-disciplined, risk-taker, resourcefulness."
Bryant helps organize Boots to Business. She says for veterans already out of the military, there is even more help up the road at Fayetteville State University.
The university has a Veterans Business Outreach Center that offers ongoing help to veterans trying to start a business, including an eight-week course. The course is modeled after a successful program at Syracuse University.
The course at Syracuse offers a month-long online course followed by an on-campus seminar that is a week long. Corporate sponsor cover the costs of the program.
"Programs like this are needed. They're necessary in order to help us in business," McLean commented.
She said many vets may not know what Fayetteville State is offering now because the program started just three years ago. She said she will be spreading the word.

text: The city is facing a number of unknowns in the 2012 fiscal year, chief among them being changes to Washington state's biennial budget. Governor Chris Gregoire is proposing that the state withhold cities' share of state excise liquor taxes as one part of a plan to fill a $1.7 billion budget hole. For Blaine, this would mean $122,000 less per year, which is about 3 percent of the city's 2012 budget, Blaine finance director Jeff Lazenby said.

A 12-year-old girl and an 8-year-old boy were stabbed multiple times in the attack.
A man accused of drinking beer in the passenger seat while his 10-year-old son drove his SUV pleaded guilty to DUII.
Jose Torres entered his plea Wednesday, while also pleading guilty to criminal mistreatment.
As part of his sentence, Torres received a lifetime driving suspension.
He was arrested in May 2012 in The Dalles after police pulled over his SUV at 10:45 a.m. Officers said the SUV's hazard lights were on, it wasn't staying in its lane and kept stopping in the road.
Investigators said that's because Torres' 10-year-old son was driving, while Torres steered the SUV from the passenger seat.
The trooper at the scene said he saw an open beer can at the suspect's feet and several other empty cans in the back.
Prior to his arrest, police said, Torres called his wife to come pick up their son. When his wife arrived, the trooper learned she also did not have a valid driver's license and cited her for a traffic violation.
Eventually, the couple's friends showed up to pick up the wife and son.
Torres was sentenced to 90 days in jail. Up to 70 days could be served on a work crew or through inpatient treatment.
He will also face two years supervised probation.
Court records show his blood-alcohol level came back at .21, more than twice the legal limit, and Torres also had at least four previous DUII arrests in California.

The presidential and vice presidential seats were the most contested race for the 2007-2008 school year. Tyler Hauger 08 and Ishanna Rambachan 08 ran for president and vice president respectively. The candidates ran on a platform of experience, proven dedication and involvement with SGA.
Opposing Hauger and Rambachan were Neil Hutton 08 and James Barnett 08. Hutton and Barnett are relative outsiders to SGA but emphasized this as a strong point in the debates on Monday. We bring fresh air and fresh perspective, Hutton said. Because James and I are involved in arts, athletics and academics on campus, were connected to large part of the student body.
Both sets of running mates talked about changes they would implement if elected president and vice president on Monday. Hutton and Barnett ran on a platform that emphasized inclusivity in SGA activities, as well as the creation of a Film Studies major.
Hauger and Rambachan want to see more student involvement in municipal matters and see more programs by SGA that prepare students for life post-graduation.
Karl Olson 08 and Maren Anderson 09 were also running for president and vice president but were eliminated after Tuesdays primaries. Olson and Anderson argued for an extended Christmas break and the elimination of Ytterboe pod checks.
Hauger and Rambachan and Hutton and Barnett emphasized the need for more student involvement in SGA.
SGA, both Hauger and Hutton said, is here for the students and acts on student interest.
In other races, candidates talked frequently of a need to to use St. Olafs global focus to benefit SGA projects and organizations.
SAA candidate Katie Hellen 08 suggested connecting Oles studying or traveling abroad with alums living in those regions of the world. This way homesick Oles can get a home-cooked meal and see how far Oles can go in the world, Hellen said.
Hellen is running against Greta Fure 08 for chair of SAA.
Both SAC and Political Awareness Committee (PAC) chair races feature two veteran opponents. Keshia Hohenstein 08 a SAC veteran runs against first-year Kate Horvat. Horvat, in her speech, said that she would like to seek more student input when it comes to deciding about SAC-sponsored concerts and events.
Hohenstein also asked for more student input, as well as more communication between SAC and other student organizations in SGA, like the DCC. That way, we can more effectively plan events and reach more students, Hohenstein said.
PAC candidates Erica Jaastad 08 and Laura Groggel 08 had different ideas for the future of the committee. Jaastad, a dead-center moderate, spoke of how she could bring balance and debate to the sometimes-polarizing organization. Groggel, the head of Amnesty International, spoke of a desire to bring more humanitarian-focused speakers to campus.
The DCC race is between Trisha Salkas 09 and Daniel Plunkett 10. Both candidates acknowledged that the DCC is not known by all students on campus.
Elections took place Thursday and the winners were announced Thursday night.
The Manitou Messenger will print election results next week.

Click the headline for the video.
h/t: AM
Recently, I've been getting a fair number of what might be called "evil bureaucrat" posts from libertarian blogs I follow. In these posts, someone—more often than not a police officer—behaves in some officious and offensive way and abuses their power to the ill of the community. The implication is then drawn (sometimes explicitly, sometimes implicitly), that such actions and abuses are typical of state officials, and so long as public officers behave like this, the state should be limited in its powers and authorities.
There is, of course, nothing wrong with these posts. Democracy in fact requires citizens to be vigilant in ensuring that public officials do not abuse their powers: if citizens don't hold government accountable for its acts, who will?
Moreover, these libertarian-minded posts are utterly correct in that state officials do sometimes abuse their power, and so as a consequence society simply cannot trust that "government will just do the right thing." Indeed, speaking as one who severely criticized the state for taking us to war in Iraq, I deeply recognize that the state doesn't always "do the right thing."
That said, I find these posts annoying. It seems to me that they are premised on the false notion that the plural of anecdote is data. That is, they are premised on the assumption that so long as abuse of power can occur, all exercise of state power is dangerous and must be constrained.
Unfortunately, this is the worst kind of slippery slope argument. It moves from "wow, this is a problem," to "wow, since bad stuff happens we are one step away from living in a hellish police state" in one move. But this is silly: that something might happen does not mean that it is likely to happen. For example, it is possible that a cop can be a jerk (or a jerk can be a cop, which is also true sometimes) without society teetering on the edge away from authoritarianism. It is possible for a society to have corruption in it (and it does) without all state action being corrupt.
For me, the dilemma of state power is summarized in one image: George Wallace's infamous "stand in the schoolhouse door" seeking to prevent the University of Alabama from being integrated in 1963. (Most of you only know this from Forrest Gump, but I've posted a real picture of the scene here.)
Wallace was eventually removed from the doorway at the urging and effort of the National Guard. The thing is, as Governor of Alabama, George Wallace was the commander in chief of the Alabama National Guard—the very people who moved him from the schoolhouse door. His authority was superseded by John Kennedy's Constitutional right to nationalize the Alabama National Guard, thereby making the Al. National Guard a federal force. Thus Wallace's segregationist stand was ended by a military force made up of people who mostly shared his political values (the Alabama Guard's troops), but who followed their constitutional duty to accept the orders of the President of the United States when ordered to do so.
The test of a democratic society is not whether all of its officials behave as they ought to all of the time. The test of a democratic society is what it does when its officials screw up. Often, the answer is: not enough. But often enough, the answer is: we send in the National Guard to make us live up to the ideals we claim to believe in.
Wow … less than a week after being raked over the coals for aggressive pat downs of very elderly women and very young children, the Department of Homeland Security announces that terrorists may now be able to implant bombs in their bodies, necessitating ever more intense pat downs and security screenings.
And al Qaeda could be working with Saddam Hussein to plot …
A small story today.
I was in Chicago last week for a meeting. This is not unusual for me: I meet monthly at universities and colleges around the state, and as most of them are in or near Chicago, we go there. A lot.
This time, because my schedule permitted, I decided to take the train up. It's only about 2 1/2 hours (when it's on time), and you can't get into the center of Chicago any quicker—or cheaper—than that from where I live.
My fare was all of the $35 round trip. For comparison's sake, had I driven, the university would have compensated me at $.50/mile, or about $135 round trip. The university also would have paid my parking, which would have been a minimum of $35 overnight. So, the net cost to the university would have been at least $170 plus hotel. From a certain point of view, then, I saved the university a minimum of $135 by taking the train. Plus being more ecologically sound, etc. Heck, I even walked from my house to the train station!
The thing is, my university has a negotiated rate with AMTRAK: $12 each way, for $24 round trip. No exceptions. However, to get this rate I was going to have to travel at less favorable times. So I paid for the trips I wanted rather than the trips the university would pay.
Now I knew this going in. I knew that I was paying $11 more than the university would reimburse. And I am fortunate enough in my life that $11 is not that big a deal. I'll survive just fine without being compensated for that $11.
But one of the things in life that drives me mad is organizational systems that are seemingly designed, and thus extremely likely, to encourage perverse outcomes. Thus I will not be compensated $11 because I violated the university's travel policy, but had I gone ahead and driven, the same office would have unquestioningly paid me $170. Per policy, I did not save them $135, I cost them $11. The conclusion is obvious: do the more expensive thing and be rewarded. Perverse.
Now I am not a bureaucracy basher. Most of the time bureaucracies work great, and we don't notice them. You don't think about all the bureaucracies that have to work properly to make your lights come on when you flip the switch, for example. You just notice when the lights don't come on. Likewise, it's flat amazing that aluminum tubes can be hurled through the sky at 35,000 feet at 600 mph for 14 1/2 hours (from LA) and arrive at Melbourne, Australia pretty much on schedule—but no one is going to think of the bureaucracies that underlie this miracle unless things go horribly wrong. Such is life in a bureaucracy: no one notices the good, but everyone sees the bad.
But little things like the question of how to compensate travel speak to the broader question of why many people are skeptical that "government bureaucracies" can make life better. They do, most of the time. But they have limits. For if nothing else is true, I am certain about the following fact: no argument I offer will change the fact that the university travel office will think I wasted 11 of its dollars, rather than saving it 135. It's in the rules.

Thurs. fun
I have been so busy, tryin' to keep up with everything at home, work, and playin'...and there's just not enough time in the day,but i love it....my body doesn't, but i do, lol.....

Super middleweight champ Andre Ward has been with promoter Dan Goossen since the day he turned pro after winning a 2004 Olympic gold medal. But the Oakland boxer is trying to part ways with Goossen, and was granted a Tuesday arbitration hearing by the California State Athletic Commission. Ward (26-0, 14 knockouts) has not fought […] [Read More]

Ford's F-150 has been the best-selling truck in the US for the past 37 years in a row. This year it gets a radical overhaul, moving to aluminum to save weight and getting a raft of new tech inside and out, making sure this workhorse continues to carry the Blue Oval forward.
Pricing not available
With fast performance and a good warranty, the OCZ Vector 150 is a great SSD for first-time adopters. It's not a worthwhile upgrade for the original Vector drive, however.
LG's LX150 for Sprint fits the bill as a quality basic cell phone.
Pricing not available
This robustly built subwoofer's performance is far from state of the art, but the price alone makes it worth considering.
Up front or at the rear in a surround position, this little speaker serves up sweet sounds.
The Harman Kardon DAL-150 does a good job of delivering on its promises, but it's a little limited for the price.
Pricing not available
This LCD's innovative and space-saving features are worth the added expense--if you need them.
Whether you're looking to turn your PC into a DVR or simply want to watch TV on your desktop, the Hauppauge WinTV-PVR-150 does the job at a reasonable price.
The Canton Movie 150 QX sounds terrific with movies and music, despite its plain-Jane style.
The HP Officejet Mobile 150 is a useful travel companion for professionals, but you can spend half the cash on the touch-screen-free previous model that performs just as well.

London rain, 1899… It would be a marvelous day to take a time machine to go read Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's tea leaves…

The son of the woman in this photo was told that his mother had died when, in fact, she had been sent to Western State Hospital. He didn't find the truth out till he himself was on his deathbed. Some people have said that my Hopkinsville event is in poor taste, that focusing on 'isms' of the long dead mentally ill is disrespectful. I think the opposite is the case and the opposite is, in fact my aim.
I think what is grossly disrespectful was committing the sane and leaving them no legal recourse, (widespread), and, worst of all, burying the poor (at least half if not more of the inmates in Victorian Asylums, which doubled as poor houses), and mentally ill in unmarked graves and/or lying to family members about their whereabouts.
I think they deserve to be remembered. How else to do so but by including their illness or lack thereof? Ignoring that they lived or how and/or how they died, which has been the general practice, is, to me, much more horrific than any ghost I've ever encountered.
A photo worthy of, (but not part of), the Lynch collection.

A tiresome comedy sometimes, with dreary, talkee, talkee front scenes which come to nothing, but only serve to make the audience more impatient as they wait while the stage is set and the great people change their dresses; or a "sensation" comedy, with unlooked-for tableaux and unexpected dénoûments; but a comedy to the end of the chapter, for the sorrows which seem tragic to us are very funny when seen from the other side of the foot-lights…

Sorry this item is currently sold out.
Please use this discount coupon for an
additional 5% off during checkout:
The Vans Chukka Low Skate Shoes are a great pair of skate shoes that even the most discerning of skaters out there would be able to appreciate. It uses a very old fashioned style to it, subtly giving off the impression of maturity and a learned nature to the wearer. Not only are they durable and comfortable, they are a great value, appealing to even the most fiscally responsible of skaters out there into buying this grand pair of shoes.
Chukka Low
This shoe is better than most Vans shoes. It has the same casual look which has become a Vans staple, and these are pretty good shoes. I personally am an avid skater and longboarder, so I need shoes that are comfortable and shoes that last. The problem with these shoes is that the sole is soft, so after a while it will wear down and then you need new shoes, but until that point (4-5 months, maybe sooner) they are pretty good shoes, I am glad I bought them.
Happy skating.
I love these shoes get compliments on them often. In-fact right after I bought them my dad came down to visit my wife and I and he loved them so much that he went into WaveRave and Mammoth and bought himself a pair. Chukkas are always a great and comfy shoe the water resistance is a total added bonus and for me I love having a few pairs of vans that not many people have seen.
This is a great shoe to skateboard in. It has all the qualities someone wants in a skate shoe. Its grippy (waffle grip is the best grip in the industry), Its light, flexible, and durable. It skates very nicely. It fits like all vans do. To me they are a half size bigger than normal. BUt great shoe, great looks, and so many colorways.
I purchased these at a rediculously low price. Even though I am not a skater anymore, these shoes look sweeeeet! The black suede mixed with the brownish/orange leather makes for a great every day'r! Have rec'd more compliments wearing these then with any show in a long time. The grip is phenominal, especially in bad weather. The tongue is super comfy as well, feels thicker than it really is. Profile is really low. The only downfall is that these run about a 1/2 to whole size smaller than others, and they don't seem to have the width that other skate shoes have. Overall, true awesomeness!!!!!!!
I love skating in these shoes. They are light, and have a good grip on the board. They are also more pointy which is great for doing more technical tricks. Durable too, since there is no stitching near the toe it takes soo much longer for them to rip. Not to mention they are stylish and affordable. A must buy

Join in this discussion led by Professor Kimberly Harding and presented by Colorado Mountain College's Women's Forum. The event is free and open to everyone and will take place in the New Space Theatre inside the Calaway Academic Building.
A woman's body is Her space in this world. Yet, how many women openly and fully embrace their bodies? For too many women, the body is a battle ground, with the body representing an object to be controlled and subjugated, rather than celebrated. In truth, the body of a woman and the structures which comprise Her being are sources of inherently rich power that are often misunderstood.
When a woman is disconnected from her body and its tissues, she is, thus, disconnected from her source of power in her world. For a woman to feel whole and complete, she must be capable of embodying Her own life, and quite literally, Her own body fully. This presentation is for those seek a different way of coming to know and understand the power of the female body.

Authorities say a 15-year-old was stabbed five times after an argument with a younger boy began on a school bus and ended in a fight in their Valdosta neighborhood.
Police said the 15-year-old was taken to South Georgia Medical Center after the fight Wednesday afternoon. Valdosta police Cmdr. Brian Childress said his wounds were not considered to be life-threatening.
Childress said the 14-year-old was taken into custody and charged with aggravated assault.
Childress told the Valdosta Daily Times (http://bit.ly/WC4NX3) that the two boys began arguing on their Valdosta City Schools bus. He said both left the bus and went to their homes, and the older boy then went to the younger boy's house and a fight ensued. Police say the 14-year-old pulled out a knife during the fight.

Change nothing else. Just eat 30 grams of fiber daily and you could lose up to 10 lbs. That's what some researchers say. Plus you'll lower your cholesterol. Eliminate constipation. And reduce your risk of heart attack, stroke and diabetes. Read more
Fascinating Facts About Fiber
Fiber is one of nature's most amazing achievements. Several large and long-term studies have shown that consumed properly it can:
Not too long ago, the American diet was fairly high in fiber. People ate less meat and dairy products (which contain no fiber whatsoever) and they ate more fruit, vegetables, nuts, beans and whole grain breads (which contain a lot of fiber). Then in the early 1900s, the American food industry was born and as it developed, more and more foods got packaged and sold for consumer convenience.
It didn't take long for manufacturers to discover that they could prolong the shelf life of their products by removing the fiber. Although they didn't realize it at the time, this process also increased the foods' caloric density and cut the time it took for the foods to be absorbed into the bloodstream.
What's so wrong with that? The answer has a lot to do with how two unique kinds of fiber work inside the body.
√ Insoluble Fiber (sometimes called roughage) cannot be digested. Instead, it soaks up water and turns into soft, spongy clusters inside your stomach and intestines.
√ Soluble Fiber cannot be digested, either. Like its insoluble counterpart, it's digested fairly fast and travels through your system relatively unchanged.
If you decide to increase your fiber intake keep a few things in mind:
►Painful hands? A study published this May in the journal Pain finds that you can diminish the discomfort by crossing your arms. The relief occurs, scientists think, because this position makes your brain less effective at processing an array of sensory stimuli, including pain.

►Research from the American Cancer Society suggests that taking up to 30 acetaminophen tablets a month, for five years or more, may lower a man's risk of prostate cancer by as much as 38 percent. Acetaminophen is the active ingredient in many over-the-counter pain relievers, including Tylenol and Motrin. Considered relatively safe at recommended doses, unintentional overdose can lead to acute liver failure.

Richard Norland to replace John Bass in Georgia
19.02.12 18:03
Richard Norland is expected to replace John Bass, the U.S. Ambassador to Georgia, White House reports.
The statement released on the White House official website says President Barack Obama announced his intent to nominate Richard Norland as Ambassador to Georgia.
"Ambassador Richard Norland, a career member of the Senior Foreign Service, serves as the International Affairs Advisor and Deputy Commandant at the National War College. From September 2007 to July 2010, he was U.S. Ambassador to the Republic of Uzbekistan. Prior to which, he served for two years as Deputy Chief of Mission at the U.S. Embassy in Kabul, Afghanistan. Additional overseas assignments have included: Deputy Chief of Mission in Riga, Latvia; Diplomat with the U.S. Army Civil Affairs team in Mazar-e-Sharif, Afghanistan; Political Counselor at the U.S. Embassy in Dublin; and Political Officer at the U.S. Embassy in Moscow. He was Director for European Affairs on the National Security Council for two years during the Clinton and Bush administrations. Ambassador Norland has a B.S. from Georgetown University School of Foreign Service and master`s degrees from Johns Hopkins University School of Advanced International Studies and National War College," the release says.

Opponents of Proposition 30 Gov. Jerry Brown's initiative to raise taxes for the state budget and avoid school cuts launched their first television ad in California markets Thursday. The No on 30 coalition consists of anti-tax groups and has backing from Charles Munger Jr. and Charles B. Johnson, two of the state's wealthiest residents. Following is the text of the ad and an analysis by Kevin Yamamura of The Bee Capitol Bureau.
Narrator: Sacramento politicians want you to believe Prop. 30's $6 billion-a-year tax increase means more money for schools. But it's all smoke and mirrors.
The L.A. Times says the higher taxes aren't really earmarked for schools. And the independent legislative analyst says the money can pay for other budget programs.
And the former executive director of the California Board of Education says Prop. 30 provides no guarantee of new money for schools.
No on Prop 30. We'll never know where the money really goes.
By suggesting Proposition 30 offers "no guarantee of new money for schools," the ad exaggerates the extent to which the initiative provides funds for other purposes.
It is true that Proposition 30 funds will give lawmakers more money to spend on universities, prisons and social services. But it will also generate more money for K-12 schools and community colleges.
The California Constitution's school-funding requirement governs use of additional tax dollars, mandating that an outsized share of new money goes to education, especially after years of cuts.
The ad omits the legislative analyst's observation that Proposition 30 results in "raising the (school-funding) guarantee by billions of dollars each year. A portion of the new revenues therefore would be used to support higher school funding, with the remainder helping to balance the state budget."
The former executive director of the California Board of Education is Tom Bogetich, who served in that role from 1988-92 and has publicly opposed two tobacco tax initiatives since 2006.
Bottom line: Proposition 30 will free up some money for general budget purposes, but it will also provide more money for K-12 schools and community colleges. Suggesting that none of the money will benefit education or that all of the money will, as the Yes on 30 campaign purports in its ads is misleading.

I am 15 weeks today. For the past week and a half my BP has been running a bit higher than normal (126/82 now, 118/72 then). No protein. But I have been having very frequent headaches. In fact, just about every day. Mostly in the morning, but sometime they develop in the afternoon or evening. They are not severe, mostly just annoying. And they usually go away on their own or Tylenol takes care of them quickly. I woke up with another this morning and was surprised to see that my BP was the lowest it has been in a week and a half (117/79).
I mentioned these headaches to my OB. She thinks it could be a 2nd trimester thing for me. She doesn't think it is BP related. And I just want more opinions. What do you all think? And if it isn't BP related, should I just take the Tylenol? It's really getting annoying for my head to hurt all the time. By the way, the pain is like a tightness across the back of my head right where the bone juts out above my neck. Thanks for your opinions!!
