FORT WAYNE — It's Friday afternoon, and 2-month-old Braveheart's little body is wrapped up into the cozy arms of a woman, one of the dozens of people who first laid eyes on him that day.
Soon enough, they're forehead-to-forehead. And then they're rubbing nose to nose, and Barb Stuck looks straight into the eyes of the puppy and asks, in a high, soft – yet excited – voice, over and over again:
"Are you ready to go home?"
Braveheart, of course, only speaks dog, and he answers with little laps of his tongue upon Stuck's face and neck.
While thousands flocked to the department and electronic stores looking for deals on shirts or sweaters or gadgets, dozens of people walked through the doors of the Fort Wayne Subaru dealership Friday looking for a furry companion.
Fort Wayne Animal Care & Control conducted a "Black Friday Pet Adoption" event at the Illinois Road dealership, offering batches of dogs and kittens for adoption at a highly discounted price.
The event was sponsored by the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals and Subaru of America.
Braveheart, a border collie mix, drew the most attention early on in the day and quickly found a home as did three other dogs and two cats that were adopted within two hours of the event's start.
"Oh gosh, everyone is getting adopted," said Allison Miller, the adoption specialist for Animal Care and Control.
The adoptions went so fast that Animal Care and Control workers had to go back to the shelter and get more dogs and cats to present to the public, Miller said.
Officials even had to abandon the "Black Friday" part of the event – initially, only animals with black fur were going to be put up for adoption, but with adoptions going so quickly that requirement was quickly forgotten.
The event was the first of its kind the shelter has done, according to Miller, and while she was happy with the number of people coming in to look at the pets, it wasn't surprising.
Miller said the holiday season is when the shelter sees the highest number of adoptions.
And while some of these animals are possibly Christmas gifts, Miller advises everyone looking to adopt that the entire family should meet the dog or cat before completing paperwork to take the pets home.
"We counsel people to bring the family in for a meet-and-greet," Miller said. "The holidays are a good time to do that. People are off work and the kids are out of school."
Miller said even some patrons of the Subaru dealer who came in to get a new vehicle left with a new pet. Subaru also donated money to various charities for every car sold.
For Stuck, finding a dog like Braveheart helped make her family's holiday season.
The family's previous dog, 11-year-old Katie, died in July. Braveheart – who will probably have another name – will be taken care of by 18-year-old Kendra Stuck, who is studying pre-med at IPFW.
And while Braveheart made their holiday a little more exciting, within minutes of officially belonging to the Stucks he was already giving back to them.
Barb, her husband and two of her sons along with Kendra each passed Braveheart around, ooohing and aaaaahhhhing as they held the dog, who will someday be roughly 50 pounds and able to do a bit of roughhousing with them.
But Friday he softly licked their faces and necks and wagged his tail, happily going home for the holidays.

It is just a bad idea!!!... over time the sand will erode the inside of the tank and fittings..(rather quickly)..... they will get thinner over time... at some point it might look perfect on the outside... while the inside is paper thin.... and will rupture at some point.... why endanger yourself or anybody else in the vicinity???.....
it is a pressure vessel that self degrades with use...
looks like darwin award material to me.... just do not take anyone with you....
how many times must this be pointed out???

I weld pressure tanks almost everyday at work then they get hydroed or tested with air. I treat each one with respect that i test with air. Anything could happen and each one is looked at before i add the air. No hurrys. The next 4 tanks i am building are 26 feet long and 20" in dia. I only test them to 30 psi and then a dish soap water test on the fittings but thats a lotta air. We pressure tested gasoline barges on the Ohio River with 2# of air and it takes a while to fill them up to find leaks. A guy showed me how a 1/2# that was left in the barge and if you pounded the hatch open with a hammer it had so much force it would break your leg if it hit you, 1/2#. It opened my eyes to really pay attention...BobBob Wright, Grandson of Tee Nee Boat Trailer Founder

You probably wont like mine then.
Wow. It's been a loooong time since I've been here. Anyway. That blaster of mine has been used now for ten years or more. The only thing I've ever replace on it was the main hose. It's longevity has to speak for itself but its been flawless so just because I built it out of a propane tank do not mean its going to fail or be dangerous to operate. I have many safety features built into it such as a safety pressure relief valve and a dump valve.
This unit has hundreds of hours on it and its as good as the day it was built. Everything in my collection and including my commercial work has been done with this unit. You got to be kidding when you say this unit is dangerous. The unit only handles 100psi of air. If the side came out of it the only thing would happen is it would put sand into the air.
When it comes to my workmanship and my blaster design You sir don't know what your talking about. Simple as that!

Wow. Such ignorance, only 100psi, haha. People have no idea how quickly things can go from fine to terrible.
Its not that simple. You have great pics and do wonderfull work for sure but please remember this is a public forum and some people aren't as gifted in the real welding world and think just because they have seen it here that they can do it. Maybe they can and maybe they shouldn't but its the internet and it has to be true, in some peoples eyes. I have seen air tanks come apart with just 100 lbs of air as it was my fathers just as he was done filling it with only 100 lbs, set it down and picked it back up and it blew. 6 weeks in the hospital and i will never forget that.

Hi, if anyone is so stupid as to see the posts and think "Hey I can do that too" who's gonna hold his/her hand the next time they cross the road. The whole point of posting your projects is to show the World what YOU have done, not suggest that that is the way to go about it. The point also is if you hydraulic test to 1-1/2 times the working pressure you are sure the job is sound. The point someone made about the container wearing away inside due to sand abrasion is probably not valid as the sand or abrasive material is just sitting there and not actively blasting the interior like the nozzle would get, and that applies to commercial tanks too that are made from the same thin metal as a propane tank, only they have a name attached to say it was made by whoever and tested hydraulically on such and such a date. If the hydro test fails due to poor welds, the water will only spurt out briefly. Ian.

Christian Horner is confident he won't lose Sebastian Vettel to a rival team after yet another display of Red Bull's supremacy....
Christian Horner is confident he won't lose Sebastian Vettel to a rival team after yet another display of Red Bull's supremacy.
The 26-year-old wrote his name in Formula One's history books on Sunday when he became only the fourth driver to win four World titles and only the third to win them consecutively.
However, he stands alone as the youngest ever to have achieved that feat and the only one to have done so in the first time of asking.
But Vettel's dominant showing didn't stop there as Sunday's victory in the Indian GP was also his sixth race win on the trot.
And with those sorts of numbers coming through, his team boss doesn't see a reason why Vettel would ever want to look elsewhere despite continued reports that Ferrari could be in his future.
"Every driver in the pit lane would like to be in one of our cars at the moment," Horner said.
"Sebastian enjoys driving for the team, has grown up with the team, why would he like to be anywhere else?
"Of course, there's no guarantees. But it's not about contracts, it's about relationships."
Horner hailed his driver as "one of the all-time greats", joining Juan Manuel Fangio, Alain Prost and Michael Schumacher in an exclusive club.
"For Sebastian to have joined the illustrious names of Fangio, Prost and Schumacher is an incredible achievement, especially at such a young age, and it's a privilege to work with him."
However, Red Bull's success didn't stop there on Sunday as the team also secured their fourth successive Constructors' crown.
"An enormous day for the team to have won its fourth consecutive Constructors' World Championship."
He added: "You can have the best driver or the best designer in the world, but if you don't work as a team it will never work but then without Sebastian, of course we'd not have won four consecutive titles."

Reservoir Ratings
TVA operates one of the most comprehensive river system monitoring programs in the United States. We monitor:
- Reservoir ecological health
- Stream ecological health
- Chemical contamination to help the states decide whether to issue fish consumption advisories.
Reservoir ecological health
TVA monitors ecological conditions at 69 sites on 31 reservoirs. Each site is monitored every other year unless a substantial change in the ecological health score occurs during a two-year cycle. If that occurs, the site is monitored the next year to confirm that the change was not temporary. Roughly half the sites are sampled each year on an alternating basis.
The overall health ratings of TVA reservoirs are based on five ecological indicators:
- Dissolved oxygen. A good rating means there is enough oxygen dissolved in the water to support a healthy population of fish and other aquatic life. Oxygen is as important to aquatic life as it is to life on land.
- Chlorophyll. Chlorophyll is a measure of the amount of algae in the water. A good rating means that algal growth is within the expected range. If levels of algae are too low, the reservoirs food web can be affected. If levels are too high, water treatment costs may increase, and oxygen supplies in the bottom layer of water may be depleted by decaying algae. Algal growth depends primarily on the amounts of nitrogen, phosphorus, and other nutrients in the water.
- Fish. A good rating means there is a large number and variety of healthy fish.
- Bottom life. A good rating means that a variety of animals live on the reservoir bottom (worms, insects, and snails, for example).
- Sediment. A good rating means that the reservoir bottom is free of pesticides and PCBs and that concentrations of metals are within expected background levels.
When monitoring ecological conditions at each reservoir, TVA takes samples from up to four locations, depending on the reservoirs size. These sites are classified as:
- Forebay. The deep, still water near a dam.
- Mid-reservoir. The middle part of a reservoir, where a transition occurs from a river-like environment to a reservoir-like environment.
- Embayment. A very large slough or cove. (TVA monitors only four embayments: Hiwassee River on Chickamauga Reservoir; Big Sandy River on Kentucky; Bear Creek on Pickwick; and Elk River on Wheeler.)
- Inflow. The riverlike area at the extreme upper end of a reservoir.
Stream ecological health
TVA Watershed Teams, made up of water-resource professionals and education specialists, work throughout the Tennessee Valley to improve water-resource conditions. These teams utilize data collected at more than 100 sites each year to help identify key issues and potential improvement projects. Read More
Fish consumption advisories
State agencies are responsible for advising the public of health risks from eating contaminated fish. Each state uses its own criteria for deciding whether an advisory is necessary. TVA assists the states by collecting fish from TVA reservoirs and checking the tissue for metals, pesticides, PCBs, and other chemicals that could affect human health. Check the fishing regulations published by your state for specific advice on fish consumption (available wherever fishing licenses are sold).
Two national advisories related to mercury in fish are also in effect. In January 2001, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) advised pregnant women, nursing mothers, and young children to limit fish consumption to one meal per week. EPAs advice is for freshwater fish caught by friends and family from local waters. The Food and Drug Administration issued a companion advisory for the same groups of people recommending against consumption of shark, swordfish, king mackerel, and tilefish purchased in stores and restaurants.
To view fish consumption advisories for a particular reservoir, please use the reservoir selection box above.
Chemicals responsible for these advisories
Five chemicalsPCBs, chlordane, DDT, dioxins, and mercuryare primarily responsible for contaminating fish in the Tennessee River system.
PCBs, chlordane, and DDT are no longer manufactured because they have been linked to a variety of health concerns. PCBs were used in many products, from electrical transformers to hydraulic fluid for farm equipment. Chlordane was used mostly to control termites, and DDT was used to control mosquitoes, flies, boll weevils, and many other insects.
Dioxins have also been linked to a variety of health concerns. They are unintended by-products of the industrial processes used to make white paper products and some herbicides. The incomplete combustion of certain organic materials, like plastics, also produces dioxins.
Too much mercury in the diet can cause brain and kidney damage in humans. The presence of mercury in reservoirs and streams is usually due to past industrial activities, and levels of the substance have declined as industries have stopped discharging their wastes into waterways.
These five chemicals do not dissolve well in water, so they are found mostly in the mud on the bottom of reservoirs and rivers. They can build up in the fatty tissue of fish, particularly bottom-feeders.
Reducing health risks
If you eat fish often, there are ways to significantly reduce your risk from pollutants. Eat smaller, younger fish. Discard the skin and fatty part of fish fillets, and broil, bake, or grill your fish. Its also a good idea to vary the kinds of fish you eat. Substitute a few meals of crappie, sunfish, and perch for fish that tend to accumulate contaminants more rapidly. Bottom-dwelling fish like catfish and carp, for example, tend to accumulate more PCBs and other organic pollutants, and large predators such as bass tend to accumulate more mercury.

Includes trial sizes of the following evanhealy Rose Treatment products:
Blemish Treatment line was created to deep cleanse, detoxify and refine pores. It helps restore normal function to blemished, oily and/or teen skin.
evanhealy is an artisan-quality skin care treatment line created by aesthetician Evan Healy. Her holistic approach draws from traditional plant lore, aromatherapy, ayurveda, and homeopathy. Through her experience with holistic therapies Evan has observed the connection between plants and skin. Rather than treating areas of imbalance such as an overly oily condition, the more holistic, successful and long-term solution is to support the totality of skin functions using simple plant-based formulations and non-invasive treatment methods. This approach encourages the skin, with its innate ability to regulate itself, to breathe.

First of all, I've played in several GSSS events. I've also signed up for several to later find out that I couldn't attend. Second, I have my reasons as to why I won't attend another GSSS event. I won't bore the masses with those reasons and I won't waste my time discussing those reasons with you. It's almost impossible to have a proper conversation when both parties are stubborn and hard headed. So, just have it be noted that I won't be attending any GSSS events in the future.

If you're going to mount to a ski, do not apply the adhesive mount in the cold. Attach it to your ski indoors when your ski is at room temp. Then let it sit for a day or so.
I did not take my own advise and the mount fell off when I landed this jump.

Definitely bomber, these adhesive mounts aren't going anywhere! We use them on the snowmobile, and the shots are sweet. Would definitely recommend these for a variety of different angles.

Nico Hulkenberg is determined to fight for victories with Sauber, but says he won't set unrealistic targets...
Nico Hulkenberg is determined to fight for victories with Sauber, but says he won't set unrealistic targets.
The German swapped Force India for Sauber at the end of last season with the hope of challenging not only for a podiums but also race wins.
However, things haven't exactly gone according to plan for the Hinwil squad so far this campaign as they have struggled to get into the points let alone finish in the top three.
The 25-year-old, who picked up five points from the first four grands prix, feels it's important to set achievable goals.
"I am looking for wins, but I didn't come here to say we're going to win every race, that wouldn't be realistic," he explained.
"I would have said, this year, the main target is to improve the car and make it into a car that can be in the points every weekend.
"We'll see afterwards what more we can do."
Although he hasn't been able to pick up too many points, there have been some highlights as he led the Malaysian and Chinese races briefly.
Hulkenberg is confident that Sauber will soon start to pick up the points they deserve.
"It's a good feeling to be leading a grand prix - its shows you must have done something right," he said. "It's definitely a good sign.
"It's a car with potential. It's a top 10 car and we can develop it into a consistent points-scoring car, I'm sure about that.
"It's our job to get it out of it but we're definitely not at the end in terms of development of the car."

Housing & Residence Life
Housing & Residence Life Main Menu
First-Year Residency Policy
Armstrong offers first-year students the opportunity to live in Windward Commons, our state-of-the-art first-year student residence hall. This facility is a 600-bed suite-style residence hall with private, semi-private, single suites. We have designed this facility with residential learning communities because at Armstrong, our belief is that students living on campus tend to earn better grades, graduate at a higher rate, and finish college sooner than their non-resident counterparts. We also believe that living on campus provides a first-year student with close proximity to services and programs that significantly helps with success in the first year.
Live-On Policy
Any undergraduate student new to Armstrong with less than 30 earned credit hours is required to live in Armstrong campus housing for an entire academic year. This requirement includes students accepted by the Office of Admissions as a first-time, full-time student (12 credits per semester +) or a transfer student. In general, first year undergraduates will be housed in Windward Commons. First-year undergraduate transfer students may be placed in one of the apartment communities, should Windward Commons be full at the time an assignment is made. All campus residential students regardless of their building placement are required to have a meal plan. First-year residents with less than 30 credit hours earned must have a minimum 14-meal plan.
You may request an exemption to the residence requirement.

commented on your video WASHINGTON CAPITALS GAME PREVIEW: "Here are my thoughts even though you probably don't care. .... Gruden is overrated as a head coach. He couldn't get the job done in Oakland so he went to Tampa. He won a title in Tampa but it was with Dungy's players. So that proves that as a head coach he is marginal. ..... Offensively I don't see what is so special either though. I think he is probably an average coordinator at best. .... I actually think college is the perfect place for Gruden because he is more of a hand's on coach. He would be better as an instructor and teacher than as a manager like a NFL head coach needs to be."
commented on your video WASHINGTON CAPITALS GAME PREVIEW: "Ok but listen, He is 14 games over 500 he has 1 Super Bowl I NFC Title game an like 5 division titles... Oh yeah he was one game away in Oakland!! You could say his team made it thier and he beat with his new team!!! WHO can get the job done thier!! AL Davis has to kick the bucket to turn that around! Sorry MIKE!! It is true! :) They do have a shut down corner now! IN MUWASABEEEE!! Somthing like that! JAHJHAJH! Pelle #23 I would roll the dice!!"
commented on your video WASHINGTON CAPITALS GAME PREVIEW: "Oh I won't argue that fact Pelle...Al Davis needs too stop the BS for this franchise too move forward or die..sounds bad I'm not a blind fool he needs too step down but he won't so I and the rest of diehards got too live with his non-sense...but as for Gruden Dude he is a awesome coach...we were 4-12 in the 1997 season. And he came in and turned it around immedatly and put up Back to back 8-8 seasons and could of been better if we had a good kicker then got us 2 divison titles and were the best rushing offense in the NFL 2 years out of 3 and knocked on the door for SB title twice his play calling was good and tricky...the knock on him is when the pressure was on he got way conservative like the snow game vs pats we had 2 3 and 1's and he couldn't get it done to seal the deal...ofcourse the call didn't help either but he had chances and didn't get it done. But he still in my opinon one of the top 10 coach's in the NFL!...I'd take him back in a heart beat!...he is a great HC period. He'll have no problem landing another job!..he's got class unlike Kiffin the ASS!. "
commented on your video WASHINGTON CAPITALS GAME PREVIEW: "I AGREE! If he went for it you win the game and the call never happen's!! Pelle #23 "
commented on your video WASHINGTON CAPITALS GAME PREVIEW: "You can't get 1 F-ing yard in the NFL you don't deserve it!...but what can you do as a fan?..That game was the only game I shedded a tear on in 30 years of watching Raider football..that's why I get worked up about that game!. But Gruden is a great coach and will have more success, he gets the most out of every player on his team it's just the yelling thing only lasts for so long until these millionares tune him out,"
commented on your video WASHINGTON CAPITALS GAME PREVIEW: "So you guys don't think he has anything to prove? I know I am going to lose this arguement but I really feel like its going to be a lot harder for him to find a head coaching gig then you guys think and I think by becoming a coordinator and proving he can do it, it will be much easier for him to get another job and make more money!"

Cyclophosphamide exerts its anti-cancer affect by a process called alkylation. Alkylation damages the DNA of cells, which prevents them from dividing, and causes them to die. Since cancer cells, in general, divide faster and with less error correcting than healthy cells, cancer cells are more sensitive to this damage.
Cyclophosphamide can be given through intravenous (into a vein) infusion or taken orally (by mouth) as a pill. Oral doses should be taken whole (not crushed or broken) and with food to decrease nausea. The dosage and schedule is determined by the person's size, type of cancer, and mode of administration.
There are a number of things you can do to manage the side effects of Cyclophosphamide. Talk to your doctor or nurse about these recommendations. They can help you decide what will work best for you. These are some of the most common side effects:
White blood cells (WBC) are important for fighting infection. While receiving treatment, your WBC count can drop, putting you at a higher risk of getting an infection. You should let your doctor or nurse know right away if you have a fever (temperature greater than 100.4 F), sore throat or cold, shortness of breath, cough, burning with urination, or a sore that doesn't heal.
Tips to preventing infection:
For more suggestions, read the Neutropenia Tip Sheet.
Your red blood cells are responsible for carrying oxygen to the tissues in your body. When the red cell count is low, you may feel tired or weak. You should let your doctor or nurse know if you experience any shortness of breath, difficulty breathing or pain in your chest. If the count gets too low, you may receive a blood transfusion. Read the anemia tip sheet for more information.
Platelets help your blood clot, so when the count is low you are at a higher risk of bleeding. Let your doctor or nurse know if you have any excess bruising or bleeding, including nosebleeds, bleeding gums or blood in your urine or stool. If your platelet count becomes too low, you may receive a transfusion of platelets.
Read the thrombocytopenia tip sheet for more information.
Take anti-nausea medications as prescribed. If you continue to have nausea or vomiting, notify your doctor or nurse so they can help you manage this side effect. In addition, dietary changes may help. Avoid things that may worsen the symptoms, such as heavy or greasy/fatty, spicy or acidic foods (lemons, tomatoes, oranges). Try antacids, (e.g. milk of magnesia, calcium tablets such as Tums), saltines, or ginger ale to lessen symptoms. Read the Nausea & Vomiting Tip Sheet for more suggestions.
Call your doctor or nurse if you are unable to keep fluids down for more than 12 hours or if you feel lightheaded or dizzy at any time.
Certain cancer treatments can cause sores or soreness in your mouth and/or throat. Notify your doctor or nurse if your mouth, tongue, inside of your cheek or throat becomes white, ulcerated or painful. Performing regular mouth care can help prevent or manage mouth sores. If mouth sores become painful, your doctor or nurse can recommend a pain reliever.
Read the mouth ulcer tip sheet for more information.
Visit OncoLink's section on Nutrition for tips on dealing with this side effect. Ask your nurse about nutritional counseling services.
In rare cases, the heart muscle is weakened on this medication. It is important that you report immediately to your doctor or nurse any shortness of breath, cough, ankle swelling, chest pain, rapid or irregular heartbeats. Your doctor may order tests to check your heart function prior to receiving this drug or to evaluate your heart if symptoms develop.
This drug can affect your reproductive system, resulting in the menstrual cycle or sperm production becoming irregular or stopping permanently. Women may experience menopausal effects including hot flashes and vaginal dryness – read more about coping with vaginal dryness. In addition, the desire for sex may decrease during treatment. See OncoLink's section on sexuality for helpful tips for dealing with these side effects.
Your oncology team can recommend medications to relieve diarrhea. Also, try eating low-fiber, bland foods, such as white rice and boiled or baked chicken. Avoid raw fruits, vegetables, whole grain breads, cereals and seeds. Soluble fiber is found in some foods that absorbs fluid and can help relieve diarrhea. Foods high in soluble fiber include: applesauce, bananas (ripe), canned fruit, orange and grapefruit sections, boiled potatoes, white rice and products made with white flour, oatmeal, cream of rice, cream of wheat, and farina. Drink 8-10 glasses on non-alcoholic, un-caffeinated fluid a day to prevent dehydration. Read Low Fiber Diet for Diarrhea for more tips.
You may experience a metallic taste or dislike foods or beverages that you liked before receiving chemotherapy. These symptoms can last up to several months. Avoid any food that you think smells or tastes bad. If red meat is a problem, eat chicken, turkey, eggs, dairy products and fish without a strong smell. Flavor meat or fish by marinating it in sweet juices, sweet and sour sauce or dressings. Use seasonings like basil, oregano or rosemary. Bacon, ham and onion can add flavor to vegetables. Ask your nurse about nutritional counseling services.
Your hair may become thin, brittle, or may fall out. This typically begins two to three weeks after treatment starts. This hair loss can be all body hair, including pubic, underarm, legs/arms, eyelashes, and nose hairs. The use of scarves, wigs, hats and hairpieces may help. Hair generally starts to regrow soon after treatment is completed. Remember your hair helps keep you warm in cold weather, so a hat is particularly important in cold weather or to protect you from the sun. Read more on alopecia.
Cyclophosphamide may irritate your bladder, cause blood in your urine or pain with urination. Drink at least 6 to 8 glasses of fluid/day to flush out your bladder. Let your doctor or nurse know if you have difficulty, pain, or bleeding during urination. When given in high doses, your doctor may give you a mediation to protect your bladder.
Notify your healthcare team if you develop any of the following:
There is a slight risk of developing leukemia or other type of cancer due to treatment with this medication. This is most often associated with repeated treatments or high doses.

What happens when you invite complete strangers to give each other handjobs? IT'S AWKWARD.
5 Things That Drive a Man Wild According to Laz Alonso
Blow his mind with this sneaky move: Stand behind him and stroke his penis. This positions your palm flat against his member's sensitive underside, the same way he grips it when he masturbates. Then do a few things he can't do himself, like whisper in his ear or kiss his back.
There's a good chance that your guy has never feasted his eyes on your completely bare bod for more than a few seconds. Maybe it's because you undress quickly in a passion frenzy or your bodies are too close for him to really take you in. But letting him stare at you in the buff is a surefire libido trigger.

The Community of Disc Golfers and About All Things Disc Golf
I've been trying to unite the local DG community in my city of Fort Dodge, IA since the DG season began this year (we have seasons here, I personally hate them) and had little success, garnering 18 members on my Facebook group and zero activity on the page.
I decided to run an Ace Race, or attempt to at the time... I just went and played every day at the local course and the nearby courses and promoted using word of mouth. One of the members of my Facebook group happened to be the sports photographer of the local paper, his influence got me free press in there - but as soon as Discraft sent me the posters and I slapped them up on the course signs at the local courses - interest just skyrocketed. Now my Facebook group has 47 members, it is active and people are playing and learning with new players.
I knew the way people are in my hometown, pre-paying would not work, so I just ordered as many packs as I could afford, which sadly was only 32. I put that poster up on Tuesday and filled every spot in 4 days. My phone rang off the hook it seemed, things got stressful at times I admit but I am just thankful Discraft gives people the oppurtunity to do this so independently - it is an unbelievably effective way to grow and unite your local DG community in a smaller town like mine with a population of under 35,000.
Without even contacting them, I had the Fort Dodge Press contact me asking my permission to come and cover the event, taking pictures and video for local publications and public television. Also the local paper told the sports photographer to go cover the event, which he was more than happy to do - his PDGA number is something like #2### so he is old school lol.
The one thing I was absent minded about was getting a permit, but after doing this legwork and being so passionate about this - the Parks & Rec Dept. head tried to deny me. I basically went into 'FIGHT THE POWER' mode... Without getting angry or flustered, I rationally stated that what I am doing is giving people of all ages a chance to enjoy and compete in a sporting event that anyone can enjoy, with the local press covering the event to show people enjoying the parks. She then said there is still a four week process to approve things of this nature. My taking of the high-road went out the window.
I stated I am sorry that I was not aware of this process, I have never done something like this before, I'm absent minded at times and have been working hard - but if you are going to deny me this over that formality - and I had the greatest line ever - "your department is looked upon poorly enough. No one knows that better than you I would have to assume. If you want to keep 32 people from enjoying a nice day of disc golf simply because of that - that is your prerogative. My perspective on that would be that you are in the wrong line of work and even though 'rules are rules' as they say, your department is disliked so much that one factual Letter to the Editor in The Messenger documenting this exchange would probably be a bigger pain in your ass in terms of the emails you'd receive than simply fast tracking my application through would."
She instantly became very courteous and even waived the $25 application fee.
So far, so good. My rookie tournament director effort is going pretty good and I can't wait until September 11th to get out there and see some aces!
Innova could learn something from Discraft - the power of the Players' Pack - they sell themselves once the posters are up. Then again, in small towns like mine, Innova has the monopoly and possibly couldn't give two sh*ts... I hope that is not the case. But what Discraft offers is nothing but great for the sport.
Views: 189
Yeah, it is working out better than I could have imagined. I'm also running an Innova sponsored tournament in my area soon, too. So far loving being a TD. We shall see how much I love it on the day of the Ace Race, though lol.
Also, Innova offers great rates on custom packs. CFR discs - tournament use, course funding and charity use only - are incredibly reasonably priced even with custom hot stamping and I gave them a nifty suggestion that you guys might just see next year ;)

As an aside, can you IMAGINE if we got Cabrera for SS too (assuming we'd include Corcino and/or Cingrani to CLE)? Then trade Cozart to ARI for Bauer. Wowowowow. Ok I'll stop.
Go BLUE!!!
Forget that, there's *potential* for us to get Choo AND Upton. Which would be NUTS.
I'm excited about the original Stubbs and Didi for Choo deal.
Not too excited about a three way deal. I'm afraid it means the Reds are giving up more talent to Arizona, and probably not getting much back.
"Man, the pitch looks fast, even in slow motion." Thom Brennaman on Chapman's fastball.
I can't even imagine Cabrera being in this deal. At least, not for what has been proposed in what we're giving up.
Who would make a better hypothetical defensive CF - J.Upton or Choo?

|Vermont Swimming Holes
Warren Falls Swimming Hole [photo Copyright © 2005 by Dave Hajdasz]
This is the time of year to enjoy swimming holes. Vermont is blessed with hundreds of them. It's a popular activity for young and old. It's free of charge and free of eye burning pool chemicals.
You could strike out on your own to find a river or stream and probably find a place to enjoy by yourself. It's nearly impossible to drive anywhere in Vermont and not see a lot of streams and rivers. Just find a place to pull off and then you can sit down on a rock and dip your feet in to let the water current carry your cares away. The best swimming holes are well known to the locals in any area so you could ask around locally. But it's easy to do some research before you arrive too.
Last year I came across a great website called swimmingholes.info (or dot org - either one works) and found it an interesting read and full of helpful descriptions about great places to swim. It says it has information on 975 swimming holes in Canada and the US. I counted about 75 swimming holes in Vermont. If you use the information on the website, send the author Tom Hilegass and Dave Hajdasz an email to say thanks. They do an enormous amount of work on the website for free: mail [at] swimmingholes [dot] info (I typed to email address that way to help protect them from spammer robots.)
Note: in some of the more remote swimming holes you may find some skinny dippers. Now before you get excited, I should point out that they will probably be 50 to 60 year old hippies. Just kidding . . . about the hippie part, not the age range. Seriously, there may be a few kids and older folks who are skinny dipping if the swimming hole is well out of sight of a road. It's actually an old country tradition here in Vermont, a rural state where people who lived in the country did not have the money to spend on things like swimming suits. Most of the old folks here will tell you they did it when they were kids but not any more. If that kind of thing offends you, stick to the swimming holes near the roads.
Note: the water will most likely be clean but you should be aware that it is not a good idea to drink it. After a rain, the e.coli level can rise because the rainwater ran through a cow pasture. And if there has been a lot of rain, water levels can be high and fast. It is surprising how just a few inches of rapidly flowing water can push hard on your feet and legs. If you don't see anyone else in the water, or cars with Vermont license plates in the parking lot, or the water is running fast and muddy, it would probably be best to pass it up and come back the next day.
In addition to the swimming holes in rivers and streams, there are numerous beaches at lakes. The reservoir here in Waterbury just reopened after being drained seven years for dam repairs. It's a pretty lake and has a very nice swimming beach and picnic area right off Route 100 in Waterbury Center. A good source of information about beaches around the state is at vtliving.com website.

Kohl's 3Q net income rises 2%, cuts forecast
Kohl's Corp. said Thursday its third-quarter net income rose about 2% but issued a disappointing profit prediction for the current quarter and cut its earnings prediction for the full year.
Shares of the third-largest U.S. department-store chain fell the most in more than five months following the announcement. Kohl's slipped 5.1% to $51.55 at the close of trading for the largest one-day drop since May 31. The shares have gained 4.5% this year.
For the quarter ended Oct. 27, the Menomonee Falls-based retailer earned $215 million, or 91 cents a share, up from $211 million, or 80 cents, in the year-ago quarter. Revenue rose 3% to $4.49 billion from $4.38 billion, as revenue at stores open at least a year increased 1.1%. »Read Full Article
Jennings' buzzer-beater lifts Bucks to win
Nothing went perfectly for the Milwaukee Bucks in their home opener Saturday night.
That is, until point guard Brandon Jennings swished a buzzer-beating three-point shot to stun the Cleveland Cavaliers, 105-102, and send the BMO Harris Bradley Center crowd of 17,086 into a frenzy.
Cavaliers guard Kyrie Irving had just tied the score on a strong drive to the basket with seven-tenths of a second left. »Read Full Article(60)
Candidates' paths diverge on road to Senate
Tammy Baldwin and Tommy Thompson share similar first names - but little else.
Both candidates in this expensive and potentially decisive U.S. Senate race say they want jobs for the unemployed, solvency for Medicare and Social Security, and solutions for the rising national debt and uninsured families. But their proposals to do that split on nearly every issue, from guns and abortions to gasoline and taxes. There's a reason this Senate race is the most expensive in state history and one of the costliest in the nation this year: The decisions of Wisconsin voters will count in this election in deciding which political party controls the next U.S. Senate.
To win those votes, both campaigns answered questions from the Journal Sentinel about their positions on the issues in detailed written statements and brief interviews. »Read Full Article(20)
New poll shows Obama, Baldwin with leads
A new poll released Saturday night by Public Policy Polling indicates President Barack Obama is leading Republican challenger Mitt Romney in Wisconsin by 3 points and in Pennsylvania by 6 points.
The poll shows U.S. Rep. Tammy Baldwin, a Democrat, with a 3-point lead over former Gov. Tommy Thompson for the U.S. Senate seat being vacated by Democrat Herb Kohl.
In the final polls for the group in the 2012 election cycle, Public Policy Polling, a Democratic-leaning firm, reports Obama's lead in Wisconsin is being driven by his support among women, nonwhite voters and young people. His lead in Pennsylvania comes from his support among those same groups of voters, the poll reported. »Read Full Article(252)
Honor Flights give Wisconsin World War II veterans a grand salute
Washington, D.C. - Russell Kortendick carried a bazooka during the frigid Battle of the Bulge in the Ardennes Forest, picking out the softest snowbank for his bed each night.
And when he returned home from World War II there were no parades, no hero's welcome and very few thank yous. Kortendick didn't mind: That's how it was - millions of men and women who fought in Europe and the Pacific quietly came back and resumed their lives when the war ended.
When Kortendick went home to Racine, he hugged the year-old son he had never seen and a week later went back to work at an engine shop. »Read Full Article(11)
Wisconsin voters are passionate, evenly split
Iowa gets them first, then New Hampshire.
But in the end, when autumn chill hits, the presidential candidates make their way to the political battlegrounds like Wisconsin. And it's here, in the closing days of a campaign, where the voters can reach out and touch the candidates. Or, at least, get a close look at the men who seek to embody the hopes and dreams of a country.
On Friday in West Allis, Lisa Walls, a 44-year-old stay-at-home mom from Kenosha, and her 10-year-old son, John, stood in the middle of the Products Pavilion at State Fair Park and listened to Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney. »Read Full Article(59)
Obama hits Romney here, while challenger fires back on 'revenge'
Racing through battleground states Saturday, President Barack Obama pleaded his case in Milwaukee, promising an America where everyone gets a "fair shot."
GOP challenger Mitt Romney, meanwhile, sprinted through New Hampshire, Iowa and Colorado, hammering Obama along the way for telling supporters a day earlier that voting would be their "best revenge."
In a 24-minute, hoarse-voiced speech before thousands of boisterous backers at the downtown Milwaukee Delta Center, Obama called Romney a "very talented salesman" pitching a defective product that drove the nation into economic crisis under Republican George W. Bush. »Read Full Article(989)

Libertarian Senate candidate hoping for 5% of vote
Manitowoc - As a Libertarian candidate for a U.S. Senate seat from Wisconsin, Joe Kexel knows he doesn't have a chance of defeating Democrat Tammy Baldwin or Republican Tommy Thompson. He says he'd just be happy to finish with 5% of the vote.
He says he's running to provide an alternative for voters who think their only option Tuesday is the lesser of two evils.
Kexel is an information-technology specialist from Kenosha. He says he's spent under $1,000 of his own money on his campaign, in a race where total spending could be in the $50 million range.
Kexel says he favors fiscal responsibility, lower taxes and a smaller military. A Manitowoc Herald Times report says he hopes he'll get votes from people turned off by the negativity of the whole Senate campaign. (20)
Romney wins Admirals bobblehead straw poll
Here's one poll where Mitt Romney leads in Wisconsin: More hockey fans chose Romney's bobblehead than chose Barack Obama's in a straw poll giveaway promotion at a Milwaukee Admirals game Friday night.
The Admirals had said they'd have 2,500 Romney and 2,500 Obama bobblehead dolls to give away at the game against the Lake Erie Monsters on Friday night, and would gauge the crowd's political leanings by which bobblehead was more popular.
In a post on its website Friday night, the team said Romney beat Obama in the straw poll. Admirals spokesman Charlie Larson explained that when the last Romney bobblehead was given away, there were still 72 Obamas left. »Read Full Article(22)
Two Madison robberies related, police say
Madison police say two Saturday morning gas station robberies are related, a TV station there is reporting on its website.
Madison police spokeswoman Lt. Stephanie Bradley Wilson told WISC-TV, which reported the news on Channel3000.com, that police are looking for the same suspect in a gas station robbery at PDQ on West Broadway and at a BP on Atwood Avenue.
A man armed with a small handgun robbed the PDQ at 2402 W. Broadway at about 7 a.m., according to the police. The report stated he left on foot. Police said a K-9 unit was brought to the station to track the man. The K-9 did not locate the robber, the website said. »Read Full Article
Municipalities taking over management of some public golf courses
Madison - Management of public golf courses in Wisconsin is changing as municipalities work to trim their budgets and increase revenue.
The city of Madison is following the lead of Fond du Lac and will take over management of its public courses in January. Four PGA pros will no longer run the Madison courses like small businesses, taking on responsibility for cart rentals, concessions and merchandise in exchange for sending a piece of the profits to the city.
Wisconsin PGA director Joe Stadler tells Wisconsin Public Radio that Fond du Lac's course is managed by the county and has increased revenue about $30,000 a year. Stadler says successful publicly-managed courses have kept a PGA pro on staff, something Madison isn't planning to do. (5)
Nonprofits absent from Racine voluntary tax program
Racine - A Racine program asking churches and other tax-exempt nonprofits to pay taxes anyway has so far come up empty.
Mayor John Dickert sent letters in September to 182 local nonprofits. He asked them to consider paying a portion of the property tax the city would normally charge them if their properties were taxed.
City Administrator Tom Friedel told The Journal Times of Racine Friday the city has yet to collect any money through the program. »Read Full Article(6)

With chants of "four more years" ringing in the hall, President Barack Obama told thousands of supporters Saturday at the Delta Center that voters in the country have a choice to make in just a few days as the nation heads to the polls.
"Opportunity has to be open to everybody, not just some," Obama said.
With the sleeves of his white shirt rolled up, and his voice hoarse, Obama gave what amounted to his "closing argument" speech on why he believes he deserves a second term in the White House. »Read Full Blog Post(400)
Katy Perry wears her politics on her dress
Pop singer Katy Perry wore her politics on her skin-tight blue dress Saturday, as she sang for thousands of Democratic supporters at a rally for President Barack Obama at the Delta Center.
Emblazoned in white letters across the front of the dress was the word "Forward," the Obama campaign theme. The dress was also flecked with sequins and there was a dash of red from the Obama campaign symbol.
Perry opened her set with Al Green's song, "Let's Stay Together." As she hit the stage she was wearing a flowing red, white and blue dress that had a little of a Statue of Liberty look, crossed with the kind of bunting seen at old-time political rallies. »Read Full Blog Post(56)

Four years ago, when there was a longer period for early voting, a total of 31,200 voted early. (24)
MSO finds power in less-played works
Familiarity does not equal power in the world of orchestral repertoire.
Friday evening's Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra concert, led by guest conductor Michael Francis, featured two strikingly powerful works that somehow don't make the list of "most frequently performed" orchestral works.
The evening opened with Paul Hindemith's "Mathis der Maler" ("Matthais the Painter"). Francis spoke to the audience before beginning the piece, giving the audience a useful guided tour. He paused several times, turning to the orchestra to lead musical examples. »Read Full Article

Marshfield man accused of dousing pregnant woman with gas
Marshfield - A Marshfield man is due in court next week on charges that he doused a pregnant woman in gasoline and threatened to set her on fire.
A WAOW-TV report says Tyler S. Ress has an initial appearance scheduled for Monday morning. The 23-year-old faces four felony charges, including first-degree recklessly endangering safety and attempting to cause an abortion. He also faces three misdemeanor charges.
Prosecutors say Ress assaulted the pregnant 28-year-old Marshfield woman in September, punching her several times in the stomach. Authorities say he also tried to strangle her during the three-hour domestic ordeal.
Online court records did not list a defense attorney on Saturday. (5)
Soulstice Theatre brings 'Blithe Spirit' to life
It's all jolly good to insist one shouldn't dwell in the past, but what's a chap to do when the past insists on dwelling with him?
That's the predicament confronting Charles Condomine in Noël Coward's "Blithe Spirit," a comic version of the contemporaneously published "Rebecca" that cuts like a diamond and is every bit as brilliant. It's now on stage in St. Francis, in a Soulstice Theatre production that opened Friday night under Char Manny's direction.
We begin with a classic drawing-room comedy that's as dry as the martinis being quaffed by Charles (Stephen Pfisterer) and Ruth, his buttoned-up second wife (Shannon Tyburski). »Read Full Article(1)
Cold to stay for the weekend
Southeastern Wisconsin's going to endure another cold day Saturday -- and still another one Sunday.
Jesse Ritka, a meteorologist for WTMJ-TV, Channel 4, is predicting mostly to partly cloudy skies Saturday, with a high temperature of just 45. Overnight lows will be in the low 30s at the lakefront and upper 20s inland, she adds.
Sunday will see a little more sun, with partly cloudy skies, but the high will again reach just the mid-40s, Ritka says. »Read Full Article

Hey guys....we have a job at work on a set of stairs. We have prints but cant really use all the info on them. So, Im going to give you some info and if you need more just ask. The stairs are steel, they go up to a steel platform, and then 180 degrees go up again. Both sets are supposed to be the same....
Total rise: 80.25"
Total run: 101.75"
There are 10 steps that are 2"x10". The stringer is 12"x3". From the floor to the first step needs to be 8". The next 8 steps need to 7.25". Then from the last step to the top needs to be 6.5". Dont ask why, its just what it shows. It shows 10" from toe to toe of the steps. The steel will all be wrapped in wood at a later time.
I dont have prints for you to look at, sorry. We wound up using 36 degrees for laying out steps. The front of the step needs to be 2" in from the stringer and 1.25" down....im pretty sure. We came up with 129.5" for the diagnal, and 124.5" on the stringer cut length. Were using a square with degree holders attached during layout. Sorry if my terminology is bad, or spelling, lol. I only made a few set of stairs before and they were all constant so I could use my calculator. So if you need more info let me know, Thank you.

Haven't had my coffee yet this a.m. but what was your question? Does the designer of these stairs like to see people fall down? Cause the variable steps will trip people up. I'm not a stairmaster but I've never measured degrees on any stairs I ever built. Just layed them out with a square. Maybe a stairmaster will chime in. Good luck.
I build alot of stairs and I never worry about what degrees the stairs are going to be.
You only need to know rise and run for the stringer layout.
I highly recommend you try to talk whoever it is out of making the steps with varying rises. People will be tripping and falling on the stairs.
I'm in Michigan, Residential steps are allowed to have a 8.25" rise, I dont know what the run is because I'm a commercial guy.
Commercial and multi family dwelling requires a rise of not more than 7", The tread is suppose to be 11" nose to nose with a 1" overhang so you need a 12" tread.
There is a variance for existing conditions.
What they very seldom allow is you to vary the height.
As far as stair layout, That is not something I can explain in writing.
You need to get a pencil and paper and draw them out.
I've seen brand new stairs tore because they were built wrong so you might want to check all your codes.

I am not a stair master either but can agree this is a good place to make a screw up if there ever was one. I know a builder bud was mentioning to me in passing,, also in Michigan that rise was a matter of fussy concern and they were not very forgiving concerning codes.

I'm not a stairmaster either but have built some stairs. I would figure the total rise from bottom to top and divide it to come up with an even number for the rise on all the steps. It sounds like who ever designed it with a variation in the rise didn't bother to do this and tried to make up the difference on the last one. As has been pointed out, people will be tripping and falling with uneven risers, they all need to be the same. I say, ask if there can be a variance on the design to get all the risers the same height.

On these stairs, the angle to the rise /run given would be 38.26 deg. The rise would have to be 7 19/64" and the run would be 10 11/64". There is adjustments made at the top and bottom for tread thickness and also for floor finish adjustment. The code will only allow for a 1/4" in variance for the flight of stairs. If the stairs are off by a 1/4", but every stair is not consistent, expect to fail. More people fall on that slight variance than you might think. If they are calling for that and you didn't just mis-understand, walk away
First step 8" is most likely from the sub floor. Lay down 3/4" hardwood over the sub floor & it will give you the 7.25" rise. Same on the top step. Top step to sub floor is 6.5" then lay down 3/4" hardwood on sub floor & you get the 7.25" rise there also.

The only time that my rise and run are not consistant is when I'm doing multi level stairways and there is a difference from floor to floor, In that situation there is nothing that you can do.

A recent nationwide omnibus survey of 1,005 American adults shows although knowledge about long-term care insurance is increasing, barriers are still in place that are preventing purchase. Both the perceived high cost and a lack of awareness about coverage were common themes voiced by Americans as they answered questions about long-term care planning in the Thrivent Financial for Lutherans survey.
Consider this: life expectancy is increasing; medical technology continues to improve; baby boomers are beginning to retire. All of these issues create a perfect storm for the probability of needing long-term care, but many Americans aren't prepared for the costs – and that's where long-term care insurance could come into play.
The costs for long-term care are staggering. According to the American Association of Long-Term Care Insurance, the average annual cost of full-time nursing home care is $76,285 for a semi-private room. Based on the average hourly rate of $21 per hour for a home health aide, eight hours of care a day is $61,320 annually.
Those figures should motivate Americans to begin planning for long-term care, but Thrivent Financial's survey indicated that more than half of the population is still not even aware of what long-term care insurance covers.
· 24% of respondents say they are well-educated on the topic.
· 52% of respondents say they've heard about long-term care insurance, but don't know the specifics about what it covers.
· 25% of respondents had no knowledge about what long-term care insurance covers.
Wisdom of the ages?
Surprisingly, the younger generation seems to have a better grasp on the importance on preparing for long-term care. When asked about their current long-term care insurance ownership, as well as future plans for purchasing if it is not currently owned, 18-34 year olds answered as follows:
· 15% said they currently own long-term care insurance.
· 41% said they don't currently own long-term care insurance, but they plan to in the future.
· 44% said they don't currently own long-term care insurance, and they don't plan to purchase it in the future.
For the 35-54 year olds, the results showed:
· 15% of 35-54 year olds said they currently own long-term care insurance.
· 25% of 35-54 year olds said they don't currently own long-term care insurance, but they plan to in the future.
· 60% of 35-54 year olds said they don't currently own long-term care insurance, and they don't plan to purchase it in the future.
Finally, for those ages 55 and up, the results showed:
· 17% of those ages 55+ said they currently own long-term care insurance.
Page 2 of 2 - · 17% of those ages 55+ said they don't currently own long-term care insurance, but they plan to in the future.
· 66% of those ages 55+ said they don't currently own long-term care insurance, and they don't plan to purchase it in the future.
Barriers to purchasing long-term care insurance
The Thrivent Financial survey asked respondents to identify reasons for not purchasing long-term care insurance. The responses indicated:
· 51% of respondents thought long-term care insurance is too expensive.
· 24% of respondents didn't know what long-term care insurance was.
· 10% of respondents said it didn't apply to them and that they could pay on their own.
· 8% of respondents didn't believe the provider of the long-term care insurance would pay.
· 7% of respondents said they won't need it because they have family members that will care for them and help pay for care.
If a 50-year-old person purchases a long-term care insurance policy with a monthly benefit of $5,000 for a 36-month period, the average cost would be about $1,050 annually.[2] If a person pays for the long-term care insurance for 20 years before eventually needing to use the policy, an amount of $21,000 would be paid in premiums. This cost is minimal compared to three-years of long-term care, either in a home setting or in a long-term care facility.
"We often hear that cost is an inhibitor to purchasing long-term care insurance," said Dean Anderson, product leader at Thrivent Financial for Lutherans. "In reality, though, it is often a wise financial decision."
So, when is the right time to purchase?
Nearly two out of five respondents (36%) believe that the age of 50-65 is the appropriate time to start looking at purchasing long-term care insurance. 23% of men and 27% of women felt that long-term care insurance should be looked at in the 40-50 age range. Of interest, men (24%), more so than women (18%), feel that between the ages of 33-40 is a good age to start considering long-term care insurance.
About the Thrivent Financial Long-Term Care Insurance Survey
Data for this survey was collected via national omnibus survey by Ipsos. Interviewing took place between Aug. 31 and Sept. 4, 2012, among a national cross-section of 1,005 adults age 18+ of whom 49% were male and 51% were female. The margin of error is +/- 2.5%.

Beginner's Question
Hello. I do not know javascript at all at this time but I am 'dabbling'. Is Java like 'codes' that are 'invisable' that controls how things appear on a web page?
If so..is it also possible to reveal 'hidden' codes on a web page on the internet that are 'by default...' already hidden?
Thanks for any and all responses

Are you asking about Java or about JavaScript - they are two completely different things.
With web pages the content is defined using HTML, how it looks and whether it is visible or not is defined with CSS and the behaviour of the page is defined using JavaScript.
Note that not everyone has JavaScript and so anything that starts out hidden may remain hidden. Usually you are better off to start with things visible and use JavaScript to update the CSS to hide whatever doesn't need to be visible for those with JavaScript available.

Java is a programming language that is used to create stand-alone programs or used on a server to generate websites (e. g. compile HTML snippets into one document that is then shown in the browser). You cant see Java code in a website because it is executed on the server and only outputs HTML, for example, based on whatever conditions are met.

Luna 14 successfully entered lunar orbit at 19:25 UT on 10 April 1968. Initial orbital parameters were 160 x 870 km at 42 degrees inclination.
The primary goal of the flight was to test communications systems in support of the N1-L3 piloted lunar landing project. Ground tracking of the spacecraft's orbit also allowed controllers to accurately map lunar gravitational anomalies in order to predict trajectories of future lunar missions such as those of the LOK and LK lunar-landing vehicles.
Luna 14 also carried scientific instruments to study cosmic rays and charged particles from the sun, although few details have been revealed.

This year's unremitting heat waves, droughts, wildfires, and freak storms have thrust climate change back into the spotlight. But even with the issue fresh in people's minds—not to mention in media coverage and Washington's echo chamber—climate change hasn't made it onto the priority list that matters most: the presidential campaign trail.
President Obama and presumptive GOP opponent Mitt Romney seem to have "reached a point of détente on the issue," said Dirk Forrister, who worked on climate issues in the Clinton administration and now heads the International Emissions Trading Association. "Neither of the presidential candidates seems to want to talk about it, and yet it is an issue that both of them would have to deal with."
Other issues will force the election's winner to deal with climate change regardless of what he or his supporters might prefer.
A recent decision by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia upholding the Environmental Protection Agency's plan to regulate greenhouse-gas emissions means those efforts can be nullified by Congress only through changes in the Clean Air Act, which hasn't been amended since 1990—and only then after years of debate. Romney has pledged to exempt carbon dioxide from the Clean Air Act, and legal scholars on both sides of the fight agree that kind of significant legislative change would be a Herculean task no matter what the results come Election Day.
The pressures facing the next president to work with other nations on climate change will only become greater, both as part of the formal United Nations process and through related issues. To wit: The State and Transportation departments must address a European Union cap-and-trade law aimed at forcing airlines to pay fees for greenhouse gases emitted by all flights to and from Europe.
Yet neither candidate is addressing these unavoidable realities—at least not yet. Obama and Romney both have plenty of reason not to want to remind voters about their track records on global warming.
Dealing with a gridlocked Congress, Obama has managed to make progress around the edges—tougher fuel-economy standards that cut emissions from cars, for instance—but he has been unable to fulfill his 2008 campaign promise to fight climate change by putting a price on carbon emissions. Having failed on that front, the president still faces attacks from fossil-fuel interests for having tried. He doesn't want to remind his environmental base that he hasn't kept his promise, and he doesn't want to fuel his opponents' attacks by saying he will try again if reelected.
It's no coincidence that when Obama made a fleeting mention of global warming during a campaign fundraiser in California last week, he stressed that it was important to "have smart regulations in place that are going to deal with issues like climate change." He has replaced his 2008 promise to pass legislation pricing carbon with a quieter pledge to effectively regulate greenhouse-gas emissions.
Romney, meanwhile, doesn't want to provoke charges of flip-flopping on yet another issue. As governor of Massachusetts, he acknowledged climate change was occurring and pledged to address it. Facing pressure from tea partiers and other conservative groups who deny man-made global warming, Romney has equivocated on climate science for the past year and abandoned the rather modest policies he implemented as governor.
New polls by Yale University and the Brookings Institution show that Americans are increasingly linking extreme weather to climate change and acknowledging that the Earth is warming. Yet other polling shows that Americans are not concerned about global warming compared with other issues: Economic and job concerns dominate.
The prevailing wisdom is that neither candidate could benefit politically from addressing global warming; Obama and Romney probably won't talk about it much at all until or unless they're explicitly asked. But that conventional wisdom is challenged in a new study by Stanford University professors and the polling director at The Washington Post. It finds that a presidential candidate could benefit politically benefit by talking about the issue. The study, conducted in part by Stanford social psychology professor Jon Krosnick, finds that Obama in particular could gain by touting his position on global warming.
The research finds that about 15 percent of the country is engaged on climate change and that most of that group supports action to solve the problem. "In this election, most likely the president stands to gain," Krosnick said. "The more explicitly green he is, the better off he is." If Romney had not equivocated on his positions, Krosnick said, he "could have nullified the advantage that it looks like Obama has at this point."
