With Charleston being such a beautiful and historic town and the Cooper River Bridge Run's strong heritage, it's no surprise our wonderful 10k has made the list!
USA Today writer,
"What better way to kick off the spring running season than with a 10K race that will lead you across the stunning Cooper River Bridge and straight into the heart of South Carolina's oldest and arguably most charming city? Dating back to 1978, the Cooper River Bridge Run is a race rich with culture and history, much like the city it's held in. Not only is it one of the largest and most storied 10K races in America, but it's also one of the most musical. Last year organizers set up live music at every quarter-mile mark (yes, they even had bands on the bridge), making it the race with the most music per square mile in the entire country.

Peyton was born September 10, 2003, in Mount Pleasant, South Carolina, to Jennifer and Noah Moore. He was a 4th grade student at Mount Pleasant Academy and formerly at The OQuinn School in Mount Pleasant. He loved sports and being outdoors and was a member of The Mount Pleasant Track Club, the Charleston Running Club, Charleston Runs, and USA Track and Field. Peyton ran the Cooper River Bridge Kids run from 2005 to 2012 and then ran the Cooper River Bridge 10K in 2013. Always wanting to encourage others, he was a supporter of the Injured Marines Semper Fi Fund, and when running, wanted to recognize those who were supporting any event. Peyton loved chess, drawing and playing piano. Not one to sit around, Peyton was also a member of the International Jugglers Association, the Cub Scouts, and was a strong athlete. He was a member of the Mount Pleasant Redskins Championship Football Team, qualified and competed in the USA Track & Field 2012 National Junior Olympic Championship, and was the number one Javelin Thrower in the State of South Carolina for 9 and 10 year olds. And, even at his young age, he was an inspiration by serving as a running coach for adults in Couch to 5k groups, tutored other students, and was the leading scorer on his basketball team this past year. Even with all of Peytons love of sports from kayaking to swimming, boating to football, he also loved school and his teachers, making straight As and holding perfect attendance. He was recognized for the Principles Honor Roll each year. Peytons family, however, was number one! He loved to be with his grandparents on their boat, swim off their dock, run with his dad, and camping and spending hours talking with his mama about life and love.
We are honored to have Peyton Moore's artwork as the official 2014 CRBR Kids Run & Wonderfest Design! This one is for you, Peyton!
Marcus was born and raised in a military family. His father, William Terry is a retired Marine Corps officer who spent a total of 20 years in the service. Marcus was born on the Naval Base in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba in 1976 and grew up in Northern Virginia and Okinawa, Japan. Upon his father's retirement from the Marine Corps in 1991, the family moved to Chapel Hill, NC where Marcus finished High School before attending college at The University of North Carolina at Charlotte where he received his degree in Architecture in 1998.
Marcus now practices architecture in Charlotte with RPA Design. His focus for much of his career has been on environments for the aging population. He has designed many nursing homes around the Carolina's and has worked with The Department of Veteran's Affairs on the design of many VA Living Centers and Veteran's Homes.
Marcus enjoys doing graphic design projects as a hobby among other things. He also loves fishing, golf and is learning tennis from his wife who is a solid amateur tennis player. He hopes to be able to beat her at some point in his life. She refused to play him while she was 9 months pregnant when he felt he had his best chance.
Marcus was inspired to create this design while he was participating in the 2009 Bridge Run. The design portrays a perspective from on the bridge itself. When running on the bridge and approaching the pylons, the stay cables seem to stretch past you in all directions creating a fascinating visual pattern that draw your eye straight through the bridge itself, motivating you to power through! The colors selected were meant to reflect the bright and vibrant character of the City of Charleston and it's residents who open their arms to us year after year. Marcus is looking forward to seeing the bridge again from this rare vantage point again in April 2014.
It has been yet another incredible Cooper River Bridge Run Design Contest! First and foremost we want to thank everyone who submitted a design to the 2014 contest. We received nearly 80 entries this year, but only 1 was voted the official 37th Annual Cooper River Bridge Run Design and 1 was voted the official 2014 Kids Run & Wonderfest Design.
Drumroll please the winner of the 2014 Cooper River Bridge Run Design Contest is MARCUS TERRY! Marcus is a Charlotte, NC native who currently practices architecture with RPA Design. He is married to his wife, Tonya, and has two children, John, 10, and newborn daughter Amelia.
His design was inspired when he was actually running the bridge!

Standing Rib roast what temperature? (different results?)
I have been reading up all the available threads on cooking this hunk of meat. I have a 5 rib 11ish lb roast in my fridge now.
So what is the best way to go temperature wise?
1- 225F for x hrs (22mins/lb) then 500 for the last 15
2- 450 for 20 mins then lower heat to 300 for x hrs (22 mins/lb)
i am sure both end up in good primes, but are there different results from the 2 temperatures?
From all the searching and reading i have done, is the below accurate?
1- Slow slow road - Same color for the entire piece of prime roast
2- high then slow - outer edges of the prime roast is more cooked with inside staying pink
The high end steak houses has the mean cooked the same all around, so i assume they use the 225 method and let it sit there for 4+hrs?
Can everyone please share their view or correct me since i want to add this recipe into my list of favorites.
Also is it wise to cook the rib on a rack in the oven or let it sit in the pan with the juices.
The last time I did a 5-rib, I seared in a pan, then went 225ºF until probe thermometer hit 125 before pulling and tenting. After letting it rest for 45 minutes, I patted dry, painted with butter and blowtorched the exterior before carving.
There was a very thin crust and the interior was very evenly (vivid) pink, so make sure that your eaters are okay with this.
The only thing is to not rely too much on # minutes/lb as a thermometer will be a better indicator of when to yank out of your oven.
re: wattacetti
thanks wattacetti i am definitely using a thermometer but i am using the lb/min as a rough guide for the whole ordeal so i can get it ready for dinner.
i have read that 120 is nice as on avg it goes up 8 degress while it sits and if guests dont like it i can always do a fast nuke or sear to cook it more.
Keep the great tips coming
re: joonjoon
The description above leaves no "grey band." Cooks uniformly.
re: wattacetti
What's with the blow torch if you deeply sear before placing in the oven. I do the same you do, searing about four minutes on three sides. It's nice and crispy at the end. I also remove from the oven about 117/118 but we like rare. And, yeah, you can use #'s/min. as a VERY general guide but I start checking WAY before I think it's even close. Sometimes I get surprised. I can always cook it longer but not less.
re: c oliver
What's with the blow torch? If you take a look at the roast, there are parts (e.g. the curvature of the bones) which don't sear. If the ends of the bones are Frenched, you also need to get the tips.
I had very little success with Prime Rib roasts until meeting Canadian Food Network Chef Michael Smith - his recommendation: Roast at 500 F for the first 20 minutes or so, then drop the temp down to the 275 to 300 F range for the remainder of the roasting time. This has worked very well for me, however, I think hubby would like it done a little more (tough luck - I am not ruining a delicious piece of prime beef by cooking it "well done").
You can search Michael Smith on the Food Network website and you should be able to find his recipe for this - it was featured on his Christmas Special.
If you're feeling adventurous, you might try Thomas Keller's blowtorch rib roast recipe. We had great success with it. Just as the name suggests, you take a blowtorch to the outside of the roast (a real one from the hardware store, not a Williams-Sonoma type brulee torch) until you've gotten the outside a little bubbly. Then put it in a 325 oven until it hits the right internal temp. Crispy on the outside, and still a perfect medium-rare on the inside.
re: gilintx
thanks for these tips are wonderful. i dont have a blow torch so i gonna stick with traditional oven. i notice most of you are saying to bake it at the 300 degree mark.
I have watch the Alton Brown clip on the rib roast and he does it at 200 first then 500.
I much prefer the low-high method over either the high-low or constant temp method because it tends to maximize the uniformity of pinkness throughout the entire hunk of meat and minimizes the gray band around the edge. My only modification to your #1 method is to remove the roast from the oven while you're letting the temp climb from 225F to 500F. This lets the oven heat faster, and again, keeps the gray band to a minimum. The high temp blast is simply for crust formation, nothing more.
I also do not cook a SRR by time...I use a remote probe thermometer, and pull when the internal temp reaches 120F.
re: ricepad
thanks ricepad, your response confirms my suspicion! i need to gauge how long it will take for the 11lb so i can serve my guests at 6pm , so i figure i stick it in the oven at like 1pm
re: wing1
One more trick: take the roast out of the fridge an hour or two before cooking, and it will be more uniformly pink inside. I've cooked many roasts professionally, both low-high and high-low, and I found that letting it warm up makes more of a difference than anything else.
BTW: beware of the 500 degree temp - it's great for the meat, but most smoke detectors will go off on you unless you have a really good vent.
re: ricepad
The OP has already had successful results, but since posts on Chowhound live forever...
The folks at seriouseats.com's Food Lab tested a bunch of different methods, and decided that the low-high method was marginally better than the high-low method. Their explanation makes sense to me...
"In order for the surface of a roast to reach temperatures above the boiling point of water (212°F), it must first become completely desiccated. When searing raw meat, about half the time it spends in the skillet is spent just getting rid of excess moisture before browning can even begin to occur. You know that vigorous sizzling sound when a steak hits a pan? That's the sound of moisture evaporating and bubbling out from underneath the meat. On the other hand, a prime rib that has first been roasted has had several hours in a hot oven, during which time the exterior has completely dried out, making searing much more efficient, and thus giving all but the very exterior of the meat less of a chance of overcooking."
That's not to say that you can't get great results with the high-low method, or even with constant-temperature roasting. But to maximize juiciness, minimize gray meat, and obtain a perfect crust, low-high seems to be the way to go.
I've successfully used your number 1 choice with a probe thermometer and take it to 118-120F, pull from oven, tent and raise oven to 500F, by the time you put it back in for 15 min to form crust on the outside, the internal temp will have risen about 8 degrees F, perfect!
I'll be the minority spokesperson here. Always make small end rib roast using the second method. (500° for 20 min, then 325° 20 min per pound)
First photo is crust (garlic/oregano/paprika/oliveoil/salt/pepper)
Second photo is slices with fat included. (This roast is at a tailgate, so photo is of it cooled down - fat congeals...but you can see the meat is all pink )
re: wattacetti
as promised, the roast came out great.! a little longer than expected.
12lb rib roast, 12:30pm to 5pm 48 degree to 118degrees. I wouldve started at 1130 if i knew. so it wasnt a biggie.
But man PRIME is really king!!
one of the pic shows the meat being cut and is grey/brown (cooked) but its the weird lighting. this whole thing was pink
re: MandalayVA
this will definitely be update with pics. Pre and post oven.
I slow roasted a 7-rib, 15 pound Prime Rib roast this year for Thanksgiving. The only thing I noticed that was different from the looks between our two pieces of meat ......I trimmed my roast quite a bit more, especially over the bones. My method was to partially slice the meat from the bone and tie the roast off. I only season with Kosher Salt and Fresh Cracked Black Pepper....and I do this 24 hours prior. I season inside the sliced area and all around after tying off the roast. Our Family dinner was planned for 4 PM, and I expected the roast to take between 4-4.5 hours @ 225*. thus, I removed the roast from the refrigerator at 9 AM for a two hour warm up. I placed the Prime Rib into the preheated oven @ 11 AM and removed it @ 3PM when it hit 118* measured between the 4th-5th Rib bones. I covered the roast tightly in foil and let it rest for 1 hour. At 4 PM it was placed back into the preheated oven @ 550* for 10 minutes exactly for a high heat blast, foil removed to create the crust. Perfect Medium Rare.
This is the basic method that was highlighted on <seriouseats.com> under the tile of Perfect Prime Rib...although their recommendation is to roast @ 200*.
With regards to:
Also is it wise to cook the rib on a rack in the oven or let it sit in the pan with the juices....
I always do so on a rack.....and most commercial kitchens do as well....which is where I formulated my methods. I roast on a wire rack that fits inside a hotel pan, presumably to allow for more even cooking through air circulation under the roast. Please note that you will only get considerable pan juices when you roast at a heat setting of 350*. Some commercial kitchens put their Prime Ribs directly on the oven rack over a pan with water to collect the drippings. This is how they create their au jus. Personally, I find the low and slow method better for meat taste and texture......and less shrinkage to boot.
re: fourunder
hi fourunder, my butcher actually seasoned it for me after he cut the meat from the ribs. it was sitting in the dry rub for over 3 days. cant complain haha. i really like how the slow and low approach turned out.
I have been using Paula Dean's recipe substututing my own rubs three times and it has come out EXCELLENT - http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/pa...
I see the OP has already cooked the meal, but I thought I'd pass on this link to a new updated video just out today by Chef John at Foodwishes.
He does the "high to low" method.

Solana Beach man mentioned in recent Obama speech
By City News Service
A 57-year-old former software engineer from Solana Beach made national headlines this week for his letter to Barack Obama, which was shared by the president in a televised speech as he announced that 7.1 million Americans have signed up for health care under the Affordable Care Act.
"Sean Casey from Solana Beach, California, always made sure to cover his family on the private market, but pre-existing medical conditions meant his annual tab was over $30,000,'' Obama said from the White House Rose Garden April 1. "This year, the Casey family's premiums will fall from over $30,000 to under $9,000.''
For his part, Casey told reporters that he was surprised to hear his name and story in the six-minute speech but pretty excited, too.
Under the policy he bought through Covered California — the state's program under the Affordable Care Act — Casey will pay about $700 a month for three family members, including himself. He said he wrote his letter to Obama to tell him that the health law has given him piece of mind.

As careers in science, technology, engineering, and math become more prevalent, community colleges are shifting their focus to meet demand and secure their place in a rapidly changing educational landscape.
A recent study reveals that job applicants with a credential or associate's degree from a community college have slightly better chances of getting a job interview than students who attend a for-profit college or university. Since community colleges are much more budget friendly than for-profit institutions and have much better job placement results, community colleges are a much better option for employment-minded students.
Nearly 52 percent of community college students in the United States begin their freshman year in at least one remedial class. These courses, which help students acquire knowledge and skills they should have acquired in high school, do not count toward their degree requirements. As a result, students are taking longer than ever to obtain their degree, if they obtain one at all.

Hang tight!
Recipe by LOOOBEEE
"This family tradition involved even the kids at New Year's Eve. They got to help make it even if they didn't get to drink it. The beauty of this recipe is that every ingredient is one measure, which makes it easy to remember. Everybody from the great-grandparents to fraternity brothers have loved this one. I prefer Bourbon, but any whiskey, rum, brandy could be substituted. (If you use vodka, please don't tell me!) The old folks claimed the original recipe called for a Quart of Whiskey, but a pint is perfect."
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

Watch video tips and tricks
1 quart
1 pint
heavy cream
egg yolks
1 teaspoon
vanilla extract
1 pint
egg whites
1 cup
white sugar
1 pinch
ground nutmeg
This was fast even with my adjustments it only took 10 minutes! I have young kids so I changed the directions just a little....I cooked the milk, eggs, and vanilla until boiling and then removed from heat immediately and added the cream. Next, I whipped up the egg whites and folded in the sugar and nutmeg. I added the milk mixture to the egg whites and slowly stirred. I omitted the whiskey and we loved it!
I halved the recipe & it still made a lot just for our family. (I wasn't making it for a party or anything.)
I left out the liquor as some other reviewers had done w/ no problem? My family said it was too thick & not sweet enough. I added more milk to try to thin it out & more sugar try to sweeten it up. My husband's drinking it, but I won't try this recipe again.
13 Ratings
easy to make and easy to drink! your family and friends will love it!
It tasted awesome! We all loved it! =) We left out the whiskey though.
A Suggested Alternative:
In a saucepan, whisk together the milk, egg yolks, and vanilla then place on the cook top. Sprinkle a spoonful of the sugar over the surface of the mixture. This will sink to the bottom and help prevent the mixture from browning or catching on the bottom of the pan while it is heating without stirring. Heat to a high simmer and bubbles start to form. This should bring the mixture above 70 degrees C Remove from heat immediately and stir in the cream.
While the milk mixture is heating, whip the egg whites and fold in the nutmeg and remaining sugar. While the milk and cream mixture is still hot, stir it into the egg whites.
Pour the required quantity for non- alcoholic consumption into a separate container.
When cool, add the alcohol of your choice to the remainder and stir to combine. Depending on the quantities of alcoholic and non-alcoholic, you may want to reduce the amount of alcohol used, I do suggest a tasting as you add – but in moderation!
Note: With the ingredient quantities given for this recipe, the eggnog, without the alcohol, may be too thick and can be thinned before serving with milk, water or if served in a large punch bowl, Ice cubes can be put in an hour before serving (so they have pretty much melted before the eggnog is consumed)
I didn't add whiskey, used Meyers Dark Rum instead. Flavor is not bad, just not hardley there. It just tastes like melted vanilla pudding. There are other, better recipes for eggnog here on this site.
Really just tasted like whiskey and milk. Not terrible, but no real Eggnog flavor.
I found this recipe to be pretty fabulous :) We did have to let it set overnight to really get those flavors flowing. I also garnished with cloves.

Jessica Simpson just says the darnedest things: "We've had two different wedding dates, but he keeps knocking me up… We're doing it very backwards, I know."
Jessica Simpson and Eric Johnson are apparently at odds due to Jessica's father, Joe Simpson. However, it may not be what you think. After Joe divorced Jess' mother Tina and rumors of a gay love affair surfaced, Jessica basically shunned her father for good. But, Eric thinks deep down that Joe is a good person and Jessica isn't being fair. Click the pic for more details.
Jessica Simpson may have lost 60 pounds since the birth of her first child, but now she's on baby watch with the news she's pregnant again! So, here's the first picture of the singer since the new baby announcement.
Despite being knocked up unexpectedly for the second time, Jessica Simpson supposedly still wants to get married before the birth of the second child. The marriage was originally bumped by the unexpected first child, then a friend's wedding, then her father's divorce, and now the rumored second child..
Well, there goes that Weight Watchers advertising campaign deal… a family source is confirming that Jessica Simpson is indeed pregnant again. It wasn't planned but the family source says Jessica is thrilled once again. Jessica, however, has not officially confirmed the news.

most days, yet some more than others, i feel the pangs of life.
Every emotion one can possibly feel, and even those yet unknown i have felt so far in my life
and i have the unnerving feeling
that I'm not about to be done experiencing them.
How do i begin to define them?
Its not as simple as happy or sad or angry. No. its far more complicated.
But on some of those days,
its the pain of these emotions that give me the most pleasure,
and how they tease my brian; trying to figure out just

Not Much to Crunch on in Forgettable Nut Job
- Friday, January 17, 2014
DVD Release Date: April 15, 2014
Theatrical Release Date: January 17, 2014
Rating: PG (for mild action and rude humor)
Genre: Animation, Comedy
Run Time: 86 minutes
Director: Peter Lepeniotis
Cast: Will Arnett, Liam Neeson, Katherine Heigl, Brendan Fraser, Maya Rudolph, Stephen Lang, Jeff Dunham, Sarah Gadon
Forget the popcorn; the perfect snack for this movie is a bowl of cereal. That's because The Nut Job is what Saturday morning cartoons would have been back in the day… if they had been an hour and a half long and available in 3D.
Times are hard in a city park that's home to a mixed group of animals. No matter how hard they all work together to store up food for the winter, there's just not enough. Oh wait, did I say "all" work together? Make that all except Surly (Will Arnett, The Secret World of Arrietty), a scrappy squirrel who lives up to his name. He's very much an "every animal for himself" kind of guy who blows off the park's democratic policies to stuff his own furry face. That makes him the archenemy of the park's citizenry, especially their leader Raccoon (Liam Neeson, Taken). The only one who sees any good in Surly is Andie (Katherine Heigl, Knocked Up), a pretty red squirrel who tries to break through Surly's tough guy exterior while fending off the unwanted advances of dimwitted park hero Grayson (Brendan Fraser, Escape from Planet Earth).
After Surly's latest escapade—a plan worthy of Wile E. Coyote and about as successful—results in the loss of the park's entire pantry, he's banished to the mean streets of the city. Dangers abound, but Surly stumbles across squirrel heaven in the guise of a nut shop. Together with his goofy (but devoted) sidekick, a rat named Buddy, Surly braves a maze of traps and the not-so-vicious guard dog, a pug named Precious (Maya Rudolph, Turbo). Ah, life is good, but... just what are those pinstripe-suited tough guys doing in the basement of a nut store?
Will Surly keep all the bounty for himself or can Andie persuade him to share with the starving animals he left behind? Who is the real villain here? There will be crosses and double-crosses, twists and turns before justice is served (with a side of nuts, of course).
While there is a half-hearted attempt to impart lessons on sharing and why it's not always important to take the credit even when it's due, The Nut Job is mostly just played for laughs. Fortunately, there are plenty of those to be had. Visual gags abound, the number of fart jokes is kept to a reasonable minimum, and the actors all do a fine job of voicing their critter characters. A special shout out should go to Fraser for his Dudley Do-Right take on Grayson, whose matinee idol looks are about all he's got going. The award for Best Critter in a Non-Speaking Role definitely goes to Buddy the Rat, whose expressive face says it all.
Unlike many recent 3D films (Walking With Dinosaurs, for example), there's no attempt here to make The Nut Job's animals look realistic. This is a cartoon all the way, which really works in its favor. Bad guys are so much more fun as cartoon stereotypes; police stereotypes (think donuts), not quite so much. There's nothing too scary for the tiny kids, and parents should enjoy the comedy. Both generations, however, will probably have forgotten the whole movie by the time they get to the parking lot.

Is there room for Jesus in the world of MMA? This pastor thinks so.
From NFL Cheerleader to MMA Fighter
This time last year, Rachel Wray was spending her Sundays on the sidelines of Arrowhead Stadium as an NFL cheerleader for the Kansas City Chiefs. She stumbled onto an MMA gym looking for a way to change up her workouts and before long she preferred the feel of the canvas to the stadium turf. Now she's left the NFL for the fighter's life. These days when her lips are red at work, it's not lipstick—it's blood. Wray talked to us about leaving cheerleading and how she's prepping for her upcoming fight at the Voodoo Lounge in Kansas City later this month.
FIGHTLAND: Is there any similarity between fight training and cheerleader training?
Rachel Wray: [Laughs] There is nothing similar between fight training and cheerleader training. To be a professional cheerleader you need dance practice, swimsuit modeling, football knowledge, public speaking, and have perfect hair, nails, and makeup at all times. I always laugh when I get out of a fight practice because I always look so disgusting —drenched in sweat, no makeup, hair a huge mess. As a cheerleader if your lipstick isn't perfect at practice, you get in trouble. They are polar-opposite worlds.
Why did you leave cheerleading to become an MMA fighter?
The reason I chose to leave cheerleading to fight was simple: I enjoyed it more. Just when I was really getting into the MMA training, Chiefs cheerleader auditions were approaching. I had to make a decision. It was impossible to do both. I knew it was right because on nights when I had cheer practice, all I could think about was being at High-Davis Mixed Martial Arts gym. Fighting made me happier than cheerleading. I enjoyed it so much more, I made the switch.

A Man of Letters Learns to Fight with an MMA Team
A few months ago, in a rash moment, I took up with an MMA team. I wanted to learn how to spar, and they seemed the likeliest teachers. The team—which includes a professional MMA fighter, several younger guys preparing for their first fights, a boxer or two, and a bunch of jiu-jitsu players—is generous with me, a permanent amateur late to the game, with more heart than skill. They welcomed me into their fraternity, sensing, I guess, that I wouldn't (couldn't) cause any trouble and might even prove useful as a moving punching bag.
I move pretty well, too. Setting aside my rounds with Matt, the one pro in the bunch (rounds that consist of him peppering my face from great distances with quick double-jabs and short hooks that scramble my brain and make me apoplectic with annoyance). Jameson, who has a few boxing matches under his belt, is too fast for me, but if I cover up and concentrate on movement and counterpunching, I can usually deflect most of his hardest punches and get a couple of licks of my own in. The other week, however, he caught me clean with a right cross that brought tears to my eyes. He apologized but I waved him off — my hands were down, not his fault. For my troubles I now have a Roman swell on the bridge of my nose, probably temporary, and I would be lying if I said it upset me.

The Snowman Vs. the Cops
Photo by Danny Ghitis
There's a rumor on the internet that this photo of longtime MMA heavyweight and avowed anarchist Jeff "The Snowman" Monson squaring off with members of the St. Paul Police Department is actually a picture of Monson conducting a grappling clinic for members of the St. Paul Police Department. To Monson, the rumor is ridiculous, not only because he was there, outside the Target Center during the 2008 Republican National Convention, when the picture was taken but also because police don't show up for grappling lessons in full riot gear. Also, if you look closely, you can see the cop in the middle has his hand on his Taser, another thing police in seminars don't do. Monson says the cop was ready to use it, too.
"We were basically blockading the street," Monson remembers. "And when the busloads of Republican delegates were being unloaded we just wanted to prevent them from going in the Target Center, basically making a human wall. The riot police swept us up and pushed us into a park and then arrested us for a) trespassing, which was strange because we were on a public street, and b) inciting a riot, which was strange because there wasn't any riot. They had arrested the group of us and I was coming up to the front saying, 'I'm coming through; you can arrest me.' I was confronted by the cops saying, 'No, you're not coming through.' I was saying, 'What right do you have? There's nobody here rioting. It's peaceful. Nobody's throwing rocks, nobody's doing anything.' They said, 'You're threatening us,' and I said, 'How am I threatening you? I'm unarmed. I'm in a tank top. We don't have any weapons. We're not doing anything.' And I said, 'How can we be trespassing? These delegates have no more right—it's a public street. How can they walk on the street and we can't walk on the street?' That's when the one police officer put his hand on his Taser and said he was going to Tase me if I tried to go through. I said, 'It's not going to look very good if I'm just talking to you and you just Taser me because there are a lot of people with cameras filming everything.' Literally at that moment, one of the guys got a call on his cell phone saying everyone's released. Basically, they arrested us long enough for the delegates to get off the bus and get into the Target Center, and then they said, 'We're dropping the charges. You guys can go.'"
In the spirit of ideological accuracy, it needs to be mentioned that Monson is really more of an anarchist/socialist than a pure anarchist. Don't be fooled by the criminal mischief charge he picked up in 2009 for spray-painting an anarchy symbol on the Washington State Capitol in Olympia. He's a card-carrying member of the International Workers of the World, otherwise known as the Wobblies. Following his loss last November to Fedor Emelianenko, Monson met with anti-fascist groups in Russia and Poland that were made up of anarchists, socialists, and anyone else uncomfortable with the rise of racist nationalism in those countries. One of the dozens of tattoos he has is the hammer and sickle. Unlike most people in the anarchy movement, he sees some value in the state.

Okay - First off, I've had WAY too much time on my hands, and secondly, this is an idea discussion group, so please keep the negativity out. If you have a different viewpoint, express it, but explain why.
I was looking to upgrade some parts on my car in the future. I contacted a few companies, to ask some specific questions. One of them sent me this link:
So I went out and did the calculations, and the stock front sway bar comes up around 180 lbs/in roughly, factoring in the motion ratio, with me not having a lift, and good measuring tools, nor patience enough to get more than a rough estimate.
In my searching, I also was able to determine that the Sway Bar's do most of the "spring" work on our cars. This could be why some coil-over packages suck ass, is that they set them up for the sway bar on the car being tested initially. If that's stock, and you are stock, and you get them, they probably ride exceptional! If that's stock, and you're on a Hotchkis or Eibach bar, you're probably noticing the lack of control and the fact you're eating up struts quickly!
But that has little to do with this discussion other than basics of what the sway rates are comparable to the springs. The springs are close enough to a 1:1 Motion ratio to take their rate directly.
First point of discussion:
- When the car is on a lift, and you remove the sway bar, there is about an inch of clearance under the cross member.
- The suspension has an amount of "droop" available. I don't have a jack handy right now to measure that. If anyone here wants to volunteer to post up their setup, and the amount of clearance to the fender sitting, then with the wheel just clearing the ground, it would be appreciated.
I'm going to use an estimate of 6" just to make the math easy here.
The first inch is absorbed by the clearance. That leaves about 5 inches of pre-load. The motion ratio is about .4, so you have about 2 inches of pre-load on the sway bar. Because of the design of the front sway bar, the bar is actually pulling down on the suspension. This means it is pushing up on the body. When you try to accelerate, the body will want to rise. This is done to improve handling, as under braking and turn-in, the nose won't tend to lean as much, and the inside suspension will easily and compliantly drop, as the sway bar is assisting the spring to make that happen.
The basic point is, we may be able to manipulate the pre-load on the sway bars to help control the body motion on drag launches, allowing for much quicker 60' times.
Where the front swaybar is concerned, this would mean reducing the pre-load, which can be achieved with longer bolts on the outside, and spacers which move the mounting point lower. You now have reduced the pre-load on the body, and in effect softened the front suspension. This means that the springs in the rear will transfer more weight to the front. The interesting part is, that if you could get to ZERO pre-load on the front, you would have 180 lbs of force per inch (approximate) helping hold the nose of the car down! Theoretically, if you were to pre-load the opposite direction (providing there is room) you could effectively hold the nose of the car down.
Main advantage of doing this - Higher percentage of weight on the nose.
Let's assume you have a fairly stock car. It launches at around 2.10 seconds on your local drag strip, without losing traction. That's about .43 g's. If the car/driver weigh in at 3100 (A reasonable estimate for most SRT's) then assuming a CG height of an average compact around 20 inches, you're going to get a weight transfer of about 250 lbs front to rear. That's because at 1G, you'd have 590 lbs of weight transfer. Launch for a 2.0, and that goes to .47 g's. 1.9 = 52 g's. 1.8=.58 g's. 1.7 = .65 g's. Notice that this is increasing exponentially the number of g's to go faster on a launch. This means more and more weight transfer.
Let's say you lose traction at 2.1. You have a 63/37 split, so you have about 1950 lbs on the nose. You lost traction at .43 g's average, or at about 1700 lbs on the nose.
By lowering the pre-load on the sway, you've softened the front springs, and stiffened the rear in relation. This means that the car cannot transfer as much weight to the rear, and you will have improved traction.
Now, let's take a look at the rear sway bar. One popular upgrade is a stiffer rear sway bar. Quite often, this is combined very simply with Lowering springs. More often than not, this is then done using stock hardware items.
Let's have a look at the effects that will happen from that: The CG of the car will drop about 1-1.5 inches normally. That reduces the weight transfer at 1g to 545 lbs or so. Statically, we have almost 50 lbs more nose weight. We end up about 1" lower in the front usually, which means we get about 70 lbs of increase in the front rates, plus the difference in the springs. Teins are a popular option, so we will use theirs, which are 170 front, 165 rear, approximate. Compare that to stock at 170/125, and we see no difference in front spring rate. We take a look at the rear, and we add a rear bar that usually is about 170% stiffer than stock. It's attachment point gives it a fairly high motion ratio compared with the front, and we drop it 1.5 inches in the rear. Call me crazy, but this car has a lower CG, less static weight transfer, and a much stiffer rear in relation to the front. It probably gains quite a bit in the launch capability, as the springs are better able to counteract the weight transfer.
If anyone there has a lift, measuring tools, etc., and wants to provide me with some good information, I can much better calculate much of this information....

Hello, Mr. Bear!
Shots of the New Audi S4
The number 7 is a weird number to most but in my opinion the number 7 is just another number. uno dos tres quatro cinco seis siete…… In 7 months ive seen this girl only 3 times and for some reason we both dont even realize that. We have our fights and the times when we wanna just smack each other because she is pissed. But at the end of the day we have a strong thing going. So the number 7 is a positive number to me in the sense of we have already gone thru 1-6 strong so heres for making it 8….. When i think of this girl shes just simply everything to me i would do anything for this girl even tho sometimes i dont show it or sometimes i make mistakes it never leaves my heart to hurt or upset this girl because in my mind shes the girl ive been waiting on… Just imagine this 600 miles away September-December that equals to be 6 hours away. I saw her 1 time. January-march 6 hours away saw her 1 time. When she gets to her home its 2 hours away ive seen her 1 time ( each time i seen her ive stayed 6-8 days at a time) but my point is could you go 7 months with not seeing the person your falling for only a total of 3 times through 7 months . Thats 18 days out of the 210 days of being together. I LOVE this girl and not afraid to say it. So next time you enter a relationship ask yourself could see your girlfriend a total of 18 days out of 210 days because in order for that to happen 1. TRUST is the biggest key!!!! So after all ive said soo far i guess it shows why the number 7 is soo important too me!!
no sir
hands off the dog

- Robert Langdon: A professor of symbology at Harvard University and the protagonist of the novel. He is flown to CERN to help investigate the murder of Leonardo Vetra. He is described as wearing a Harris Tweed jacket, a turtleneck sweater, and a pair of chino pants. His name is a tribute to John Langdon.
- Leonardo Vetra: A scientist working at CERN and a priest. He is researching on antimatter when he is murdered by the Assassin. He is also the adoptive father of Vittoria.
- Vittoria Vetra: The adopted daughter of Vetra. She, like her father, works with CERN. Her research focuses on biology and physics. The reader learns early in the novel that Vittoria worked with her father in their research of antimatter.
- Camerlengo Carlo Ventresca: The Camerlengo (Papal Chamberlain) during the conclave. He murdered the pope, who is later revealed to have been his biological father. His codename for dealing with the assassin, "Janus", was taken from the two-faced Roman god of beginnings and ends.
- Cardinal Saverio Mortati: The most senior cardinal in the conclave, and the current Dean of the College of Cardinals. He was the Devil's Advocate for the late pope.
- Commander Olivetti: The commandant of the Swiss Guard. He is initially skeptical on the claims of Langdon and Vittoria until he talks with the Hassassin. He, along with other Swiss Guards, search desperately for the missing antimatter hidden somewhere at the Vatican. He is killed by the Hassassin at the church of Santa Maria della Vittoria.
- Captain Rocher: The second in command after Commander Olivetti. He is contacted by Max Kohler telling his knowledge on the real cause of the events. He is killed by Lt. Chartrand, who was under the impression that Rocher was an Illuminatus.
- Hassassin: The killer hired by Janus to fulfill his plans. He is of Middle Eastern origin and displays his sadistic lust for women throughout the novel. He murders Leonardo Vetra, the Preferiti, and Commander Olivetti. He dies after being pushed from a balcony by Langdon at the Castel Sant'Angelo and breaking his back on a pile of cannonballs below.
- Maximilian Kohler: The director of CERN. He is feared at CERN despite his paralysis. His wheelchair contains electronic gadgets such as a computer, telephone, pager, video camera, and a gun. He contacts Langdon to help him find the killer of his friend, Leonardo Vetra. He blames the Church for his paralysis, due to his highly religious parents denying him medical care as a child, becoming a scientist as a way to rebel.
- Gunther Glick and Chinita Macri: A reporter and his photojournalist for the BBC. They are contacted by the Hassassin regarding the events happening in the Vatican. Glick has a notorious reputation as a sensationalist and conspiracy theorist journalist. Macri, meanwhile, is a veteran camera crew and a foil to Glick. They have the first-hand account on the events in the novel, from the beginning of the conclave to the election of Mortati as pope.
- Lieutenant Chartrand: A young Swiss Guard. He, together with Commander Olivetti and Capt. Rocher, search desperately for the antimatter hidden somewhere in the Vatican. He shoots and kills Captain Rocher after he is mistaken as an Illuminatus. Near the end of the novel, he is sent by the new pope to give the Illuminati Diamond as an indefinite loan to Langdon.
- Cardinal Ebner: One of the four Preferiti and a cardinal from Frankfurt, Germany. He is killed by asphyxiation, by means of putting dirt and soil into his mouth.

CHITA has no plans to attempt to change the Internet or its directions but rather will attempt to accommodate whatever weaknesses it exhibits with respect to information security. While asserting that businesses need to move too quickly to wait for the NGI, Mr. Bailey wondered if it would be possible to allocate part of the Internet 2 (perhaps one or two frequencies) for health care. He also would consider the formation of a separate health information network as a means of avoiding some of the security concerns associated with the Internet.
According to him, security officers in health care have responsibilities that differ from those of their counterparts in other industries. The applicable state and federal laws are different, the privacy and security concerns are greater, and health care organizations must meet requirements for successful electronic data interchange. At the same time, the health care industry is driven by economics, not privacy.
Jac Davies, representing the Washington State Department of Health, described the Electronic Laboratory Reporting System (ELBRS) project, which involves the electronic submission and tabulation of reportable events within the state, of which there are fewer than 100,000 every year. (Physicians and testing laboratories are required to report certain conditions to their county health department.)
Such reports generally are sent by regular mail, fax, or voice mail. Public health officials then are required to follow up with the doctor and patient to further investigate possible causes, paths of contagion, and so on. Often, reports are sent to the wrong county and/or are not subsequently forwarded to the state. Furthermore, different states and counties tend to have their own lists of reportable conditions, which are tied closely to local concerns (the conditions vary, for example, between urban and agricultural counties), and they have different rules for where to send the information. As laboratories (and health organizations generally) consolidate into national entities, tracking different reporting requirements has become time-consuming. SmithKline Beecham, for example, operates a number of clinical laboratories and has three or four people dedicated to tracking different reporting requirements.
Under Washington's planned system, lab reports would be sent directly to the state rather than to local health departments. The state then would process the reports and forward information down to local communities and up to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), as necessary. Such centralization would allow the state to bettercontinue
