Indiana ended the game on a 10-0 burst to beat Temple 58-52 Sunday at Dayton to advance to Thursday's Sweet 16 against Syracuse.
Here are some of the keys to the victory:
1. Crunch-time toughness
When the Hoosiers absolutely had to get it done down the stretch, they did, from Christian Watford's block to Victor Oladipo's victory clinching three-pointer.
2. Free throws
Indiana kept attacking the basket. It forced 18 fouls that produced 20 free throw opportunities. The Hoosiers made 16 of them. Cody Zeller led the way by going 7-for-8. Christian Watford was 5-for-6.
3. 2nd-half defense
It took a half, but IU finally figured out how to stop Temple guard Khalif Wyatt. He was 4-for-10 for 11 points in the second half after going 8-for-14 for 20 points in the first half. The Hoosiers held the Owls to 32.1 percent second-half shooting, 33.9 percent for the game. Temple scored just 23 points in the last 20 minutes.
4. 2nd-half three-point shooting
Indiana went 3-for-6 from beyond the arc in the second half, getting three-pointers from Jordan Hulls, Will Sheehey and, of course, Oladipo. That helped make up for the 1-for-7 effort in the first half.
5. Big players playing big
Oladipo and Zeller were huge down the stretch. Oladipo finished with 16 points and eight rebounds. He also helped fluster Wyatt in the closing minutes. Zeller had 15 points and six rebounds, and was nearly perfect from the free throw line.

How it works
Almost any Illustrator artwork can be exported to a HTML5 canvas element. Where canvas lacks support for a specific feature, Ai->Canvas automatically rasterizes the artwork to a bitmap and properly positions the image on the canvas.
Bring your artwork to life by adding animations to your Illustrator drawings. Ai->Canvas supports rotation, scaling, fading, and movement along a path. For more advanced users, add triggers that start one animation when another animation completes.
The purpose of Ai->Canvas is to accelerate your HTML5 canvas development. The HTML and JavaScript that it exports is meant to be copied into your own application and extended. Learn how to subscribe to built-in events, determine if a shape has been clicked, and debug the exported code.
Read the Ai->Canvas documentation and learn how to use the plug-in for drawing, animation, and code. Follow along with the 10-part video tutorial that starts with the basics and ends with the solar system…all in less than 30 minutes.

"It's my happiest concert of the year!" says Roger Wiesmeyer of his annual Mozart Birthday Celebration. That's no small claim — the vivacious multi-instrumentalist plays a lot of concerts, and he seems pretty happy about all of them.
Outside a busy schedule as the Nashville Symphony's English horn player and charter member of the Alias Chamber Ensemble, he can be found playing oboe, piano and occasionally harpsichord in venues ranging from the Blair School of Music — where he also teaches — to Park Center's mental health facilities.
Whatever the setting, Wiesmeyer's soulful lyricism and unpretentious enthusiasm make for reliably rewarding listening.
Since returning in 2001, the Nashville native has staged a Mozart concert every January at Edgehill United Methodist Church. This year's offering finds him playing piano on both selections: as soloist in the Piano Concerto No. 17 in G Major and joined by Cincinnati-based pianist Francoise Pierredon for the Sonata in F for Piano Four Hands.
And for the second year running, an ad-hoc Mozart Birthday Festival Orchestra assembles under the baton of Murfreesboro Symphony conductor Joseph Lee.
After pre-college studies at Blair in oboe and piano, Wiesmeyer attended the prestigious Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia and played in the San Francisco, Pittsburgh and Honolulu symphonies.
While living in the San Francisco area in the 1990s, he played regularly in the Midsummer Mozart Festival under George Cleve. Wiesmeyer relished this regular connection with the composer's music and wanted to keep it going when he came home to play in the Nashville Symphony.
"I love sharing what I find so wonderful about Mozart, and sharing it across different parts of the community," he explains. Proceeds from the birthday concerts are split between the socially active Edgehill United Methodist and another local charity, with past beneficiaries including The Contributor, Nashville Peace and Justice Center, and Nashville Peacemakers.
This year's concert supports the community ensemble Nashville Philharmonic Orchestra, whose mission is particularly dear to Wiesmeyer.
"They're allowing non-professionals to be involved with really great classical music," he says. He gives a rave review of the group's holiday concert at Iglesia Hispana de Nashville, both for its quality and for the warm response of its culturally diverse audience.
Wiesmeyer loves connecting with audiences beyond the traditional concert hall. He fondly recalls playing a Mozart fantasia for Park Center clients and their animated discussion of the piece's dramatic content. "They came up with a little opera scenario for it right on the spot!"
Wiesmeyer mainly played oboe in the early years of his Mozart concerts, presenting chamber works with colleagues from the Nashville Symphony. But recently, he says, "it's become a venue for exploring my love of the piano" as both soloist and accompanist.
This year's piano-centered program features works from the mid-1780s, when Mozart temporarily set aside his ambitions as an opera composer to focus on a highly successful series of public concerts in Vienna. The brilliant string of piano concertos from this period brought an operatic approach to the instrumental arena.
The 1784 Concerto in G Major, written for Mozart's piano student Barbara Ployer and featuring colorful scoring for winds, runs a wide expressive gamut. Particularly dramatic is the second movement's sudden shift of key and mood after the piano has barely stated its lyrical primary theme. The finale is a set of variations based on a tune so catchy that, according to Mozart biographer Maynard Solomon, the composer was able to teach it to his pet starling.
Less often heard is the duet Sonata in F, composed in 1786. "It's really hard!" Wiesmeyer says, laughing, but he has found it delightful to learn. "The end of the slow movement is deeply inspired," he says.
A suggested donation for the benefit concert is $5, but no one is turned away for lack of funds. The show will be streamed live through www.stageit.com (search for "Mozart birthday"), where Wiesmeyer also presented a beautiful Brahms recital from his living room in September.
Jovial post-concert conversation and a birthday cake from Sweet & Sassy Bakery will, of course, be available only in person.

Gallery: Google Invests in Shweeb's Pedal-Powered Bike Monorail
Shweeb is an innovative form of alternative transportation that places people in plastic tubes so that they can cycle to their destination whilst hung upside down from a rail. It may sound crazy, uncomfortable and tiring, but Google believes that it could transform the way we get around cities — as such, they have invested $1.05 million into the scheme.
As the Shweeb system is 'user-powered' it immediately gets sustainability points, but the system has also been praised for its speed. A combination between traveling in tubes à la Futurama and "Sky Cycling," Shweeb's bike-powered monorail currently has a 200m cycle track in Rotorua, New Zealand, where is it billed as an "adrenalin-fueled" adventure. There, users are suspended from the track in transparent pods and can 'cycle' around the landscape at speeds of up to 45km/h.
Shweeb cycles are equipped with seven gears and, according to the operators, the reclining position is necessary for both comfort and reducing drag. The system has been a big hit with tourists, and Google reckons it could find equal satisfaction from the commuting population of some of the world's cities.
Google's interest came about thanks to their Project 10100, an initiative that seeks to find solutions that make the world a better place. The competition attracts a lot of entries — this year they received over 150,000 applicants from 170 countries. Shweeb was named one of the top five as voted on by the public, claiming top honors in the "Drive innovation in public transport" category.
The idea was conceived by Melbourne cyclist Geoff Barnett while he was living in Tokyo. After six years researching his dream, he set up a test bed in Rotura and launched the system in 2007. Since then, more than 30,000 people have ridden the Shweeb system, and the current speed record is 55 seconds for a 600m ride.
Shweeb managing director Peter Cossey said the company would spend the $1.05 million on research and development to build a showcase transit system in the northern hemisphere: "The northern hemisphere became the natural choicefor us due to the sheer number of people that require transport and also the opportunity to achieve a higher global profile for the future growth of the company," Mr Cossey said.
With that in mind, is it possible that we'll see the likes of the Shweeb in San Francisco, London or Tokyo soon?

The matter of slower computer is clear for nearly every consumer which operates on the PC for some time. The root of the concern is basically inside structure of file procedure as well as computer code of primary applications. Myriads of produced temporary files, back-ups and source copies of great size is sure to impact Hard Disc capacity. Additional procedures and inconsequential applications will definitely impact RAM capability of the machine. To unravel the situation you have to apply some complicated software program which may take away needless information very carefully knowing that is irrelevant and which is essential.
February 4, 2011 at 8:21 pm
Cool idea! But check out the first photo. It pictures hairy guy legs and feet and a pretty girl face! So trans gender is openly included in our future warm climate public transportation pods! Very PC.
December 29, 2010 at 8:22 am
I admit it may look fun, but that's all it will be. It'll be good for parks and big tourist attractions like maybe Disney World. But we're not going to build these things through Yellowstone Park, maybe a State Park! But no one will pay to turn it into a transit system. It's personal rapid transit which has been widely discredited over the years. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DJckdzrDSs0
November 22, 2010 at 5:10 pm
@rspliner – This good idea should not be burdened with ADA compliance or shackled with the costs of providing a solution that meets the needs of every single person on the planet. Not every mode of transportation is available to every member of the population (blind people and quadriplegics cannot drive). If this idea takes cars off the road and frees up lanes and bus/train seats for others, then even those that cannot use it directly will benefit indirectly.
Regarding work attire and dresses, most people do not wear dresses while riding bikes/motorcycles/scooters. So don't wear them in the Schweeb. I know many people who ride bikes/motorcycles to work, then change clothes (and even shower) when they get there.
This is an alternative mode of transportation that complements existing options. It's not a full replacement for cars, buses, subways, etc.
October 27, 2010 at 5:18 am
Hmmmm…. I would give it a go! How do you turn it round when you realise you have left your bag at home?
October 26, 2010 at 12:40 am
Looks like *fun*…but it just doesn't seem like practical public transportation. Besides the climate control issues (and god forbid a person needs to wear a dress) having *individual* pods could get real ugly. Besides the obvious hygiene issues (thinking Seinfeld B.O. car ep as a worst, but possible, case) , what if you're someone who pedals at 40 mph and you're stuck behind someone who only pedals at 10 mph? And what do you do with a pod once you get to your destination? Nope…don't see it getting past being purely recreational…
October 18, 2010 at 6:34 am
bike paths are on the ground in congested areas that is not easy, it provides for people behind to push weak or tired along, it could have electical assist if desired, it looks good, safer than a bike trail that is enclosed. consider fallen biker ahead of you going 15 mph around the corner. result crash most likely. I am working on a possible transport system also and this looks good to me, not great but possible. Set up some at zoos and other parks quickly to let people test them for them selves.
October 18, 2010 at 1:21 am
That thing would be hot as fuck inside.
October 15, 2010 at 6:38 pm
Less versatile than a bike path at many many many times the cost, this is not a realistic option for commuters.

[…] these days – the online search giant just invested in both an offshore wind highway and a human powered monorail system. Today a project funded by Google announced the discovery of massive geothermal vents under West […]
October 10, 2010 at 11:35 am
[…] Google is on a roll these days when it comes to transportation alternatives. Announcing their investment in the Schweeb just over a week ago, news just broke that the famed company has secretly been developing an autonomous, self-driving car. Still in its early stages, the car project has already set out a small fleet of vehicles across California roads that utilize an artificial-intelligence software able to sense anything near the car and make equivalent decisions made normally by a human driver. While the thought of mass-production in the coming months is a bit premature, this revolutionary idea could give way to incredible environmental and experiential benefits. Engineers behind Google's project say that the technology could both double the capacity of roads by allowing cars to drive more safely, comfortable and efficiently while closer together; but also allow for cars to be built lighter, in turn reducing carbon costs and fuel consumption.

October 10, 2010 at 11:16 am
I agree with rspilner – this could (and should) be made accessible to anyone. There are several ways it could be done :-
1) Dual cabins (already on the way).
2) Electric motors (low power electric bicycles are now proven and the same technology would be a perfect match to the low power requirements of the Shweeb system).
3) Pairing up with another user taking the same route (who could get a financial incentive for pushing).
Incentives such as fare structures should be used to reward good behaviour, and discourage less good behaviour. If you're fit and able to pedal, you should pay a premium which could subsidise those who aren't. It's the perfect application for market forces.
October 10, 2010 at 10:22 am
You still have not answered my question. How does someone ride this who does not have legs, or one leg, or one arm, or no arms. Or, what if they are too old or young to work the pedals? You can\'t make a comprehensive transportation system that excludes a significant part of the population. Bicycling is only a part of the surface transportation system which includes options for people who can\'t ride. When you put the bike in a tube on a rail built just for bikes, it becomes what should be a comprehensive system that instead excludes.
October 10, 2010 at 7:43 am
This idea is NOT crazy. They have answered every single negative comment – read the FULL description under http://shweeb.com/index.php?m=transport.
You want crazy – look at the 'Elevator into Space' idea – they asked Arthur C Clarke when it would be built and he said '50 years after people stop laughing'. Well some people have stopped laughing and are investing. And Google has stopped laughing about Shweeb, and Google doesn't take 50 years to do anything. If you want to bet against Google I'll take your money!
15mph TRUE AVERAGE SPEED in London would beat every mode of transport except helicopter. Average car speeds are 7 to 10 mph, buses and tubes only go on FIXED routes, at FIXED times, so waiting time, changes, escalators, etc drags the TRUE AVERAGE way down. Who would go at 5mph if you can do a guaranteed 15mph straight to your destination with NO STOPS, NO CHANGES and NO DELAYS?
I just hope that this idea can scale up to handle higher speeds and longer journeys (which means incorporating powered drives and better safety controls).
It's time to stop laughing.
October 5, 2010 at 4:24 pm
I'd really like people to read the tech specs of this, as I'm a huge beleiver in this technoogy. I'll quickly outline people's main concerns:
Heat: pods are well ventilated, with sun reflecting tops.
Effort/sweating. On the website, they point out that a man walking at 5km/h uses about 100W of power, whie cycling on the schweeb at 20km/h only uses 33W. This is achieved thanks to the low resistance design, particularly the aerodynamic pod.
Slow people: Pods are designed so that when a pod approached another, they form a sort of train, whereby only the first train must overcome drag, and so the pedalling efforts of all trains combine to make all of those pods increase speed. Even if they weren't pedalling it wouldn't be much effort.
In terms of hills, they would install solar powered chain lifts that woul only activate if they detected the pod was sowing down on the hill.
I'm hoping Auckland gets to use this technology very soon, I will sure be an early adopter. NZ is very proud of the Shweeb so hopefully our local govt has the sense/resources to build a working one in the near future.
October 5, 2010 at 2:31 pm
@pharacon actually its pretty comfy in 90 degree heat. I was in rotorua in their summer, and the windflow kept you extremely comfy. 12 mph (about 25kph ) is easilymaintained with a minimum of effort. I got it up to around 40kph and barely started sweating. Also if you read the techspecs, you do 'hit' their pod. There are bumper buffers that translate that hit into forward motion. And there is minimal effort to move them along.
Perhaps your insistance on your car is best! Course, while the freeway is backed up… again; the schweeb will be moving a bit faster. Though i highly doubt we will see suburban implementation, unless they allowed higher speeds to get to the city, then had a system to ratchet it back
October 5, 2010 at 1:07 am
I encourage naysayers of the shweeb to read the technical and design details on the official website. They've thought of everything, and it seems like a near flawless system of mass transportation.
October 4, 2010 at 2:24 pm
In a word.. stupid.
Like anyone will get up get dressed and then shweeb their way to work. I bet that little pod gets crazy hot in the summer. I would like to see it installed in Houston or LA when it gets CRAZY hot. If you took that to work you would be all sweaty and nasty by the time you got to work.
Also what do you do with someone who is slow? Slam your dorkpod against theirs and push them faster? If I wanted I will take a bike, or better yet I will stick with my car.
October 4, 2010 at 1:10 pm
I think I see the problem. How many of the major posters have actually taken a ride on this contraption? I have, and as a man of substance (read: fat) I can say that this ride, hills and all was extremely easy to get up to the speed of 45km. The gearage involved ensured that. I'm. Thinking this monorail system would be great in an acti e community, like denver. And i could easily see this being upscaled to multi user like a bus, to improve speed. With a conductor to handle. Entry and edit of stops. This was hastily typed on a phone from my own schwinn. Forgive the typos and franker but i'd gladly trade the schwinn for a schweeb
October 4, 2010 at 11:50 am
@mr. right:
"A tunnel? That's a great idea except for the possibility of mechanical failure of the device, how do you get someone out of there?"
Umm, you're on a bicycle. Pedal your way out. The only "failure" would be that tail wind assistance.
October 4, 2010 at 10:39 am
My use of the term tunnel is perhaps misleading. It could be underground but elevated would likely be less expensive to build. I call it a "tunnel" only in reference to a "wind tunnel," the device for creating an artificial airflow. In combining that device with the device of a control access pathway for bicycles– that is, essentially a "freeway" for bikes– it is conceivable that the average speeds could be greatly increased and/or levels of exertion greatly reduced. Unlike the monorail concept, this infrastructure device would include at least two lanes that would allow passing, giving the individual user the same kind of freedom of provided by automobiles. But the overall energy required to move the air would be much, much less than that used to fuel move the autos. Extremely quick commute times in urban areas would be the main attraction. Instead of bikes being almost as fast as by car, bikes would be quite a bit quicker. The "mass" of commuters that could be moved this way could in theory be greater than the mass that are moved by a single lane of freeway for the obvious reason that bikes take up so much less space.
October 4, 2010 at 6:31 am
A tunnel? That's a great idea except for the possibility of mechanical failure of the device, how do you get someone out of there? Imagine the ensuing traffic jam (along will the panic attacks associated with being trapped underground).
October 4, 2010 at 1:15 am
For a concept of a powered version of this, check out http://www.unimodal.com. This concept has been around for a decade or more, but I don't think they've actually built it anywhere.
October 4, 2010 at 12:53 am
Another pie in the sky concept. What problem, exactly, does this solve? That it sometimes rains on bicyclists? As a mass transit system it is totally worthless.
September 30, 2010 at 6:33 pm
If one of Google\\\'s criteria really was \\\'To drive innovation in public transport…\\\" then they might have consulted with someone knowledgeable in public transport before giving $1M to this amusement park ride. This doesn\\\'t come close to being \\\"public\\\" since anyone unfit to ride a bike could not use it. That is a very large portion of the population. How does a person in a wheelchair use this \\\"public\\\" transport? How about the parent with a child in a stroller and bag of groceries? What happens when the rider becomes exhausted or dehydrated (it must get very hot in there) or otherwise becomes incapacitated? Did anyone run calculations on what all those stanchions would cost? Did they consider the resistance from most communities to the visual pollution of the stanchions and tracks? Such a shame, what a waste.
September 30, 2010 at 3:24 pm
Pretty sure this wouldn't be ADA compliant which makes it a non-starter as a "PRT" system that would require funding streams tied to ADA compliance. Will Sterling is right–just ride your bike.
September 30, 2010 at 2:19 pm
I ride my bike to work every day, and love it. By contrast, sweating inside an plastic capsule on a hot day doesn't sound like much fun to me. You don't need to be on a monorail to go 45kph, that's a fairly normal speed for a road race.
September 30, 2010 at 12:44 pm
jcoop, are you really comparing encapsulated bikes hanging from rails to the conquest of the new world and space respectively? I've got this awesome new invention for you, it's geared and pedaled like the suspended rail cycles you adore so much but it has wheels and the ability to steer, also it doesn't need a plastic capsule around it so you can enjoy being out in the fresh air. Not everyone who disagrees with idiotic ideas is in league with the forces of darkness, some of us just prefer to live in the real world.
September 30, 2010 at 3:47 am
If ArchiDude and Jay_Adams lived in 1492 he would say Columbus was wasting a good ship for his own suidide. And if they lived in the 60's would say what about space flight? The internet? Do you own bp shares? Coal stocks?
I love this idea… If I can find a way to buy shares… I will. I'd work for them tomorrow. The concept is great, a couple years of innovation would allow you to not have to pedal, then watch TV, and get a massage, get a washed seat or buy your own attachable seat, park your bicycle outside your closest station. If the stations where next to the subway, schools, and shopping centers would you still walk 4 km to get where you are going? It is not going to be the savour of the earth but it could get a lot of cars off the road, get people through rough neighbourhoods safely, and free up over priced parking downtown.
September 29, 2010 at 7:09 pm
I agree with ArchiDude and Rik. Forget hanging bicycles from a rail. The tunnel idea proposed by Rik makes much more sense as long as the tail wind is not too strong. The tunnel system would need a safe entry and exit strategy along with proper bicycle storage areas. Imagine how far along a system like this would be for the U.S. if that trillion dollars had not been wasted on Wall Street bailouts.
September 29, 2010 at 3:42 pm
Learn how to spell… 'peddle' is to sell, 'pedal' is to propel with your feet using cranks.
September 28, 2010 at 1:45 pm
This idea is based upon a failure recognize of the primary constraint to bike transport is air resistance. If we are going to invest in an alternate infrastructure to get bikes out of motor vehicle and pedestrian traffic, we should optimize the benefits for the large cost by going far enough to build a system that vastly reduces air resistance.
By putting the bikeway into a "tunnel"– a wind tunnel that provides– at least at rush hours when the number of riders is very high– a strong tail wind. (Of course the paths in opposite directions are separated– i.e. the bikeway is an elongated loop. Hope some bright folks at Google at least give some thought to this concept. Rik
September 28, 2010 at 12:56 pm
i agree with archidude, except you aren't looking at someones crack because of the reclined position obviously.
it took google 1 million to fail at redeisnigning the perfect transportation, a bicycle.
you can buy one at walmart for $100.
stick to the web google, and let people that have a clue and a tiny bit of forsight spend money to find better transportation.
seriuosly this is nothing more than a sad joke that can't be taken seriously. if this is the future we are indeed in trouble.
schweeb does seem to be a quite fitting name though, i'll give them that.
September 27, 2010 at 9:25 pm
Oh yeah! Sign me up, I can see it now and can't wait 'til the day I get to walk a couple km to the nearest station only to get into an enclosed capsule recently vacated by some sweating out of shape person who took it around the city on a hot day. Then begins the trip to work where I'm immediately stuck in a bike jam (which I can't escape since I'm on a track suspended over buildings and roads) staring into the oh so deep butt crevice of the person in front for an hour. Then since the nearest bike station is another 2 km from where I work it's another lovely stroll from there. come to think of it people already have a very efficient system of locomotion built in with no sweaty plastic bubbles needed. That's one hell of an investment in the future right there. Was there really no cause more worthy than a bubble bike monorail?
September 27, 2010 at 6:02 pm
I love the concept. The next step is literally open architecture such that one could have pedal powered and/or electric powered pods, that can be driven on streets short distances to the monorail "station", then easily mount on the rail and be carried, without pedaling, by the rail (either a system integral to the pod, but powered by the rail, or entirely integral to the rail). Computer control would require each pod to choose a destination and the pod would be delivered to that station, and discharged from the rail back to the road….
September 27, 2010 at 12:59 pm
I love the aerodynamics aspect, but as a commuting system this would be frustrating to use since you would always be stuck behind slower riders, or stuck in front of someone wanting to pass. You could only go 45 km/hr if everyone on the track was physically able to go that speed.

The Truth About Money Management
Money Management is not easy!!!!
Many money management programs suggest that better money management will allow us to do all the things we want to do. Unfortunately, this can be somewhat misleading. Sometimes the choice is between continuing to do what we are doing and face a financial nightmare or make some changes and avoid the nightmare.
Even when a person is realistic about financial management, it is often confusing. Unfortunately, some of the problem is systemic- meaning the problem is the result of inadequate tools to work with.
ReliaBalancetm was designed to provide people who have made a serious commitment to financial management the tools needed to be successful.
The foundation of successful money management is everyday decision making. Daily money decisions affect our ability to make long term money decisions. ReliaBalancetm provides solutions to the challenges of daily money management. These solutions provide a framework for more successful long term money management.
If you are a person who is ready for real money management solutions, whether your goal is not to be out of money before the end of the month or to save enough money to match your employer's matched retirement benefit, ReliaBalancetm is for you.

I started to cook chicken casserole in the slow cooker, for about 20 minutes on high so that I could then turn it down to low and leave cooking. However, I accidently turned the slow cooker off and so the chicken has been left to cool and had been sitting there for 5 hours. Can I now continue to cook this casserole in the oven?

That's a shame... Toss it in the trash.
Chicken which is essentially still raw should not be left out for 5 hours at room temperature. I doubt it's safe to eat anymore.

(a) Any person may request review of records pertaining to him by appearing at the National Endowment for the Arts, Room 1338, 2401 E Street, NW., Washington, DC 20506, or the National Endowment for the Humanities, Room 1000, 806 15th Street, NW., Washington, DC 20506 on work days between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. or by writing to the Office of the General Counsel, National Endowment for the Arts, or National Endowment for the Humanities, Washington, DC 20506. (See paragraphs (b) and (c) of this section for identification requirements.) The request should specifically identify the systems or records involved. The Foundation will strive either to make the record available within 15 working days of the request or to inform the requestor of the need for additional identification or the tendering of fees (asspecified in paragraph (d) of this section) within 15 working days.
(b) In the case of persons making requests by appearing at the Foundation, the amount of personal identification required will of necessity vary with the sensitivity of the record involved. Except as indicated below, reasonable identification such as employment identification cards, drivers licenses, and credit cards will normally be accepted as sufficient evidence of identity in the absence of any indications to the contrary. Records in the following systems of records, however, are considered to contain relatively sensitive and/or detailed personal information—
Accordingly, with respect to requests for records in these systems the Foundation reserves the rights to require sufficient identification to identify positively the individual making the request. This might involve independent verification by the Foundation as by phone calls to determine whether an individual has made a request, personal identification by Foundation employees who know the individual, or such other means as are considered appropriate under the circumstances.
(c) A written request will be honored only if it contains the following certification before a duly commissioned notary public of any state or territory (or similar official if the request is made outside the United States):
I,__________(Printed name), do hereby certify that I am the individual about whom the record requested in this letter pertains or that I am within the class of persons authorized to act on his behalf in accordance with 5 U.S.C. 552a(h).
In the County of__________State of__________. On this __day of
(Name of individual)
who is personally known to me, did appear before me and sign the above certificate.
However, where the record requested is contained in any of the systems of records listed in paragraph (b) of this section, the Foundation reserves the right to require additional identification and/or to independently verify to its satisfaction, the identity of the requestor.
(d) Charges for copies of records will be at the rate of $0.10 per photography of each page. Where records are not susceptible to photo-copying, e.g., punch cards, magnetic tapes or oversize materials, the amount charged will be actual cost as determined on a case-by-case basis. Only one copy of each record requested will be supplied. No charge will be made unless the charge as computed above would exceed $3.00 for each request or related series of requests. If a fee in excess of $25.00 would be required, the requestor shall be notified and the fee must be tendered before the records will be copied.
Title 45 published on 2014-10-01.
No entries appear in the Federal Register after this date, for 45 CFR Part 1115.

Comments about Vacuum Cubes—3-Pack Combo Set:
Let me tell you why my husband bought this. When he travels and stays overnight somewhere he has to have his own pillow and blanket (I like to make fun of him about this)...and he bought this to shrink them so he could pack them in his suit case. It does work very well. They are super flat and when we get to where we are going, they fluff right back out to size. So, it works perfectly.

Recent Balaclava Reviews
Buff Original Buff
After getting used to it, wearing the Buff has added a layer of protection from the elements, while doing a fine job of wicking away moisture. The Original Buff is 100% polyester microfiber, seamless, and is very soft. It's actually softer than that really old, worn-out T-shirt you can't get rid of. And for any of you who have one of those old T-shirts, you know how incredibly soft that is. At the heart of the Buff is adjustability and versatility. The company shows 13 different ways to wear it. Full review
Buff Merino Wool Buff
The versatile and simplicity of the BUFF makes it the number 1 necessity when traveling, hiking, or camping. I've never carried a piece of headwear with me so much. My fiancé swears she's going to throw it away someday! She's tried buying me other hats or even another BUFF, but only the BUFF Merino Wool will do. I mainly use it as a neck gaitor, beanie, or balaclava. Very versatile and useful when camping in cold weather or sitting at home. Highly recommend this my friends. I'm an unpaid spokesperson. … Full review
Buff Merino Wool Buff
Yep, merino wool does stay soft and comfortable for "allergic" wearers. Longer than the regular synthetic Buffs, same multiple options, no worries about melting at the campfire or smelling over time. I bought another for my daughter's birthday to wear on campus -- very stylish. Yep, merino wool does stay soft and comfortable for "allergic" wearers. This is the first time in over 50 years I've bought a wool product, and I am impressed. The wool Buff is several inches longer than the regular synthetic… Full review
Talus ColdAvenger Expedition Balaclava
I keep this piece of gear with me all the time now. Keeps moisture off my face and my whole body warm. Two-piece system is nice. You can stuff the ventilator in your pocket and just wear the balaclava. Full disclosure, I work for Talus and have been an avid outdoorsman my whole life. I love being out in cold weather and this product helps me stay comfortable all day long. While there could be some improvement, this is the best mask I have used so far. The balaclava hood seems big, but gets… Full review
Buff Original Buff
The Original Buff will give you the confidence you need to tackle all outdoor tasks. The first thing I did last Thursday was rush to my mail box to open the package that had my Original Buff inside. As soon as I placed it on my head, my entire world changed. A few of the things that happened were I could protect my neck, face, and ears from the sun all at once! I felt totally rad when I used its skull cap mode, kinda like a pirate. The ladies seem to totally dig it. Another thing you will find with… Full review
Mountain Hardwear Hardface Stretch Convertible Balaclava
Keeps your face nice and warm! I don't know about you, but when the temps drop, and especially when the wind is blowing, my face gets really cold. And who wants to breathe in all that chilly air? There are times when a warm beanie just won't do it all. So I bought this item for dog walking on chilly mornings and for winter hiking and camping. It's made of "stretch fleece"; a woven outer side backed with soft fleece inside against the skin. It dries quickly when damp from sweat and condensation… Full review
Matarik Powderhound Bandanna
This balaclava mask is designed for powder days. It will keep you warm in the harshest conditions. This neck gaiter is waterproof breathable with a zippered vent on the front for breathability and moisture control. I tried this thing out skiing and it worked great. When I was on the lift and it was snowing sideways I zipped it closed. When I was charging hard I unzipped it and was able to breathe. I would make a few modifications though; Less is more. It seems that the ski mask could do without… Full review
PolarWrap Exchanger II
Helps keep core temperature. Reduces condensation inside tent or tarp. I initially purchased the Polar Wrap Warm Air Mask for the heat exchanger, to use my out-breath to warm my in-breath because Montana winters are severe. This helps maintain my core temperature. For backpacking, it is my experience the Exchanger II does not impede my breathing at all. I also found out I am able to extend the sleeping bag or sleeping quilt comfort rating to lower temperatures. I also do not have the same condensation… Full review
Seirus Ultra Clava
It definitely is worth the money. The outer shell of neoprene does seem to keep the water out. I ran water on it in the shower and the water does shed off. In heavy rain conditions I will have to see if it passes the test. It definitely keeps you warm. I actually had to tuck the mouth and nose area under my chin since I started to sweat in mild labor conditions in 40 degrees or more. I wanted to keep the front area around the mouth intact for heavy rain conditions. The fleece lining by the mouth… Full review

and if you are lucky, the battery will self-discharge within a day, acting as a heat source...
There is something about the "don`t recharge" sign on the alcaline batteries...
However, Biodiesel is secondary to more traditional methods like walking or even riding your bike.
What would probably be even better would be finding a way to make your diesel run off of old cooking oil and what not (after filtering), fairly inexpensive to do if I remember right. Plus most places have to pay to get rid of that old cooking oil, so they'd probably have no problem letting you snag a few gallons. I know it's pretty easy to do with older diesels, but would probably take some work to get a newer diesel to work. Someone correct me if I'm wrong on anything.
"a hot cam, port the heads, install a fan clutch, put on higher-ratio rockers, reprogram your ECM, or put on a turbo."
None of these will actually increase fuel efficiency. An engine is an extremely dynamic air pump. The term "hot" in reference to a cam typically points out higher life/more duration which will increase the volumetric efficiency of the engine at higher RPMs to make more horsepower. This is probably the best way to decrease your fuel efficiency. Higher ratio rockers will achieve the same effect. Porting the heads is a bit more complex, but once again you're changing the area in the load/powerband curves that the engine operates most effectively and most back yard porters will be a long shot away from improving efficiency over an entire OEM laboratory's years of work and data optimizing port and chamber design. Turbocharging your car is guaranteed NOT to improve fuel mileage; it's physically impossible. The way that OEMs increase fuel mileage through turbocharging is by simultaneously downsizing engine's displacement or being more conservative with cam/head/intake design. ECM reprogramming may improve fuel mileage, but often times you sacrifice reliability or other emissions which should be strictly reserved for offroad use. You're incorrect about lower octane gas as well. Lower octane gas burns faster than higher octane gas (higher octane is less prone to detonation). This has absolutely NOTHING to do with power while cruising at highway speeds where a car will typically use less than 20 horsepower. This comes into play under heavy load and acceleration where higher cylinder pressures may cause the mixture to detonate if a lower grade of gasoline is used. As far as whether a lower grade will help or hurt fuel mileage I'll reserve from commenting on that since I'd imagine it to be quite specific to the combustion chamber/piston design for each individual vehicle.
The basics of improving gas mileage are using a free flowing air intake with reusable cotton filter, free flowing exhaust (which will usually change the note of the exhaust and the volume of it), a good tune-up, and properly inflated tires (keep in mind that the tire manufacturers recommend certain pressures for certain vehicle weights)
Here's my 3 cents worth about one of the topics:
I learned many things in over a decade in industrial construction. One of those was NEVER drink concentrated juices. I spent a fair amount of time in food processing plants. Quite a few of them were juice plants in Florida (different producers). If you are going to buy your juices make sure that they are "fresh squeezed". I'm not going into details. Research for yourselves. That USDA stamp of approval doesn't mean a lot to me anymore. Those who work for the USDA are the same disgruntled underpaid lazy government employees who work at the DMV. Think about THEIR efficiency. And by the way. If you wanted to buy American juice, you'd be hard pressed to find it. All of the producers co-package, store and use concentrate from other companies. Many of them from Brazil. Sorry so long.

I was prescribed this drug for folliculitus along with an anti-fungal drug. The rash resolved within 3 days with no side effects or any other problems. I've taken this drug before with no side effects. Ask your doctor if he would prescribe this along with the anti-fungal. It can't hurt.
Took SMZ-TMP 2x per day for 10 days to treat a small staph infection around the cuticle of my finger nail. I never have had trouble taking antibiotics before, but finishing the course of this drug was difficult. Had fast HR, overall tired feeling, nausea especially in the morning and after meals, constipation, and general I'll feeling.
Took SULFAMETHOXAZOLE 800/160 MG TAB 2 TIMES A DAY FOR 7 DAYS AFTER RECTAL ABSCESS SURGERY. MADE ME REALLY TIRED, DIZZY, JUST ALL OVER SICK FEELING. TOLD PRIMARY CARE DOCTOR, WITH NO RESPONSE. day after taking all the doses still feel really tired. I'm a 72 yr old male insulin dependent diabetic.
Took this for a uti and it makes me feel so sick sometimes. i had to come off my birth control to take these so, between that and these pills I've be so moody. I pee ALOT after taking them. They make me tired after i eat, my heart beats funny sometimes. I feel sick at some points. Im not exactly sure yet but i think their making me break out... they helped with the pain in three days though. I feel maybe because i dont take them at the same time everyday that might be the problem but from reading these reviews I'd probably feel the same anyways.
Two pills every twelve hours for 10 days. UTI symptoms disappeared after the first three days, had no adverse effects. However, on the 8th day I developed an allergic reaction (hives, swollen lips, slight fever). Stopped taking them the next night and went to ER next day. After an IV of a few things, I'm good as new! These definitely got rid of my UTI, unfortunately I can never take them again. Be wary of an allergy, and go straight to a doctor if you see signs of an allergic reaction. Otherwise, these will kick the butt of any UTI! Ask your doctor for a 5-day dose if you'd like to be more cautious. I have tried to treat a UTI before using sulfas, with Nitrofurantoin. It did not help me.
i had a an infection i believe around my prostate area, when i had sex and ejaculated sometimes i would feel pain deep up near my prostate had it for 2 years. Doctor prescribe this drug i took 2 pills a day for 5 days that resolved the problem. I think it was a strong dose as i could feel it in my body, i stop taking it after 5 days of the 30 days and no more pain.
I was being treated for a sinus infection which included swollen nasal tissues, phlegm, stuff nose, and the most hardest time to breath. My doctor gave me this Rx, twice a day, MucinexDM twice a day and a nasal aerosol Zetonna (I've never been on that before). I tolerated all the meds well, and still took my Vitamin D, Zyertic allergy pill and calcium pills at night. I did find that the Zetonna was working better for me at night since my nose felt worse at night. What I did notice is that the Rx SMZ,TMP made me lose my appetite; which is not a big deal. I wasn't hungry during the day or even getting up in the morning. A little bit of diarrhea, slight upset stomach. After eating some greek yogurt that seemed to help with the diarrhea. So far this combo of meds is working well. I have no insurance.
It cleared my skin up quickly. Though I am not totally clean of the infection, my skin and boils have gone away but a couple, and my skin looks normal now.
I have chronic bronchitis with much mucus and phlem , cough etc. I was prescribed Cipro (3 times) and it didn't help, then Avalalox (didn't help) and now I'm getting better thanks to this drug. Note: all of the rx's I was prescribed included being on prednisone at the same time. Most of my mucis is gone and my breathing has improved dramatically. I was prescribed this for 10 days and by the 4th day I was noticing a pleasant change in my breathing and congestion.
For MRSA, Aug 2012, SMZ/TMP DS 800-160, PRESCRIBED by PCP, 1 tablet 2 times a day for 5 days. Strong side effects of nausea, headache, body and muscle pains, weakness, shallow breathing, racing pulse, change in rate & flow of urine and very, very weak. Lost all appetite, except for ice cream sandwiches, which I haven't had in years. But it was creamy and eased my queasiness.

If your
tension headaches
are triggered by
, you may be treated with an antianxiety
medicine, such as buspirone, to reduce anxiety
and the frequency of tension headaches.
Antianxiety medicines
relieve anxiety and nervousness and have a calming effect. In high doses, they
may cause drowsiness and sleep. Buspirone reduces mild anxiety, irritability,
fatigue, and pain. It is usually taken daily to relieve symptoms and is not
addictive if it is used continuously.
Generally, side effects are
mild and include:
Antianxiety medicines other than buspirone (such as
alprazolam) may be tried, but they can become addictive. Buspirone is not
habit-forming and may be used for longer periods of time.

Frequently Asked Questions
- How, and how often, is a fixed speed detection system calibrated and checked for accuracy?
- How is speed determined at fixed detection system locations?
- How does the City of Scottsdale determine speed limits?
- Do photo enforcement flash units cause collisions?
- Why are speeders allowed an 10 mph buffer?
- Are license plate sprays and covers that are advertised and sold to prevent photography of plates by photo detection cameras prohibited by law?
- Are points assessed against my driver's license for photo enforcement convictions?
- Can I avoid points being assessed against my driver's license for photo enforcement convictions by attending a defensive driving class?
How, and how often, is a fixed speed detection system calibrated and checked for accuracy?
Detection system accuracy is established at the time of installation by comparing the speed indicated by the system with a calibrated detection device. The system is configured to an accuracy of +/- 1 MPH of the calibrated detection device reading. The term "calibration" is often used inappropriately in this situation. There are no adjustments made once the initial setup is accomplished, and the only way to change the way the system detects vehicle speed is by changing one of the two constants involved (#1 the distance between the two sensors, and/or #2 the way time is measured by the computer).
A variety of devices are used to verify accuracy and include but are not limited to:
- Vehicle speed test and verification
- Radar detection systems
- Certified speedometers
- Laser speed detection systems
The city's vendor conducts verification of system accuracy routinely for each speed certified location to ensure proper equipment operation. The routine inspections referenced are also conducted when maintenance repairs are performed. In order to put a repaired system back in operation a systems check is performed, and if the indications of improper speed exist, a speed verification check is performed as part of that inspection. These indications include but are not limited to:
- Visible damage to the sensors
- Excessive detection "abortions" due to failed speed tolerance checks
The system performs a speed tolerance test for each detection and ensures the speeds entering and exiting the detection zone are consistent or the detection aborts the processing of the detection as a violation.
Speed verification checks are performed as a result of the following activities:
- Initial installation and commissioning
- Sensor replacement
- Sensor cabling or connector replacement
- Detection system replacement
- During routine inspections for proper system operation
How is speed determined at fixed detection system locations?
Two piezo strips are used to time a vehicle's location at two specific fixed points. Based on the time it takes a vehicle to travel from point A to point B, a speed calculation is made. A loop is placed between the two piezos to verify activation by a vehicle (inductive loop detects the presence of metal) rather than another source.
- There are two piezo strips "cut" into the road at a fixed distance apart (approximately 10-15 ft)
- Timing is started when the vehicle strikes the first piezo sensor which is verified by the rise of the loop
- Timing stops when the same "axle" strikes the second piezo
- Each "axle" is counted and measured for speed until the fall of the loop which signifies the end of the vehicle
- Each independent speed measurement (all subsequent axles relative to the first) are compared to the first axle speed
- The detection is valid if all speeds are accurate within preset tolerance limits
Once the initial conditions have been met (steps 1 -3) the camera is activated, when all conditions have been met the system verification is completed and the detection packaging sequence commences firing the cameras based on the vehicle's speed.
How does the City of Scottsdale determine speed limits?
The City of Scottsdale follows the guidelines set forth in the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) and the Arizona State Statutes to set speed limits in our city. The State Statutes allow local authorities to determine speed limits on streets under their jurisdiction based on an "engineering and traffic investigation." The MUTCD provides the criteria that is used for the engineering study. The MUTCD states that the speed limit should be within 5 mph of the 85th percentile speed of free flowing traffic (the speed at which 85% of the vehicles are traveling at or less than). It also allows you to consider road characteristics, roadside development, parking and pedestrian activity, and crash experience. We do most of our studies based on citizen requests, in areas where the roadside environment is changing due to development, or where we have experienced a higher number of accidents than usual.
Do photo enforcement flash units cause collisions?
No. The flash duration is less than 1/2000th of a second. That is shorter than lightning due to weather. The intensity of the flash is no brighter than any camera one might purchase for personal use. The height of the pole, shape of the reflector, and distance to motor vehicles and pedestrians also minimize the effect of the flash.
In Scottsdale alone, over 500,000 photo enforcement incidents have been photographed using flash since 1997. In all that time there has not been a single reported incident of flash causing a collision. If anything, photo enforcement flash has a positive effect on driver behavior. It provides instant feedback to those who speed or run red lights, and most react by slowing down.
Why are speeders allowed an 10 mph buffer?
The margin is intended to address language in the Arizona Revised Statutes related to speed offenses that defines, "...reasonable and prudent..." speed. It also provides a reasonable margin of error/grace for inaccurate vehicle speedometers and short-term lapses of attention by otherwise law-abiding and generally cautious drivers.
Our primary focus is on intentional, aggressive and negligent drivers. Statistics tell us that at 10 mph over the posted speed limit, the probability of being involved in a crash doubles. However, at 20 mph over, the probability increases to 11 times greater. We are trying to change the driving behavior of those persons who are most likely to cause crashes.
Are license plate sprays and covers that are advertised and sold to prevent photography of plates by photo detection cameras prohibited by law?
Arizona law (ARS 28-2354) requires that, " A person shall maintain each license plate so it is clearly legible." The sprays and covers themselves are not illegal. The act of illegible display of the plate is.
Are points assessed against my driver's license for photo enforcement convictions?
Yes. In accordance with Arizona Administrative Code R17-4-404, Driver Point System, points are assessed by MVD for each conviction reported to them by the Court. Each red light conviction is assigned two points, and each speed conviction is assigned three points.
Can I avoid points being assessed against my driver's license for photo enforcement convictions by attending a defensive driving class?
Yes. If you have not used the Defensive Driving Class (DDC) option in the most recent two years, you can avoid points being assessed against your license. This alternative is fully explained on the options page of each photo enforcement citation.
