I have heard great things about the new shimano brakes but the Formula RO also look appealing. Looking for a good aggressive AM brake (with occasional lift access run). thoughts?

PC Review - 'Madden 2004'
by GreyOoze on Sept. 15, 2003 @ 12:52 a.m. PDT | Filed under Reviews
The latest installment in this long running football series from EA brings a ton of new features to the table, including franchise mode, playmaker control, and several options for custom teams. Yet the biggest question to ask about Madden 2004 is the same one we ask about it every year. Are the new additions enough to justify gamers purchasing a new version?

Trib of old
Published March 9, 2013 1:01 am
This is an archived article that was published on sltrib.com in 2013, and information in the article may be outdated. It is provided only for personal research purposes and may not be reprinted.
I understand that newspapers are in dire straits, and I am glad just to be able to read a paper that is delivered to my door every morning.
However, I really miss the old Sunday outdoors section of The Salt Lake Tribune. I miss reading about hiking and skiing and fishing and all the other awesome activities that can be done in our amazing state. I also miss articles about travel and foreign destinations.
I still love The Tribune and will stand by it till the very end. But every Sunday I get a little nostalgic about how it used to be.

Road warriors everywhere are adopting shorter handlebars, usually by modifying their existing straight bars. The handlebars give the rider a more stream line look when smashin' through traffic.

Im curious , does shorter handlebars impact how much your lungs can expand?

i see fools riding like that in SF but they all must live in the mission or soma because you can't possibly have enough leverage to get up a hill.
looks inbred, B123′s all the way!
23 Mar 09 12:57 pm
I took that shot…
Short bars are very foolish
30 Mar 09 8:02 pm
in my own experience, the vast majority of times when, while in traffic, short bars would have been desirable have also been instances of my being overly bold/reckless/stupid. if you're routinely trying to fit through spaces only a short set would allow you to pass (between wide-assed trucks or buses, or between pedestrians), you're most likely compromising your visualization of the road ahead in favor of going fast/being a daredevil. which is dangerous and likely to get someone hurt. so: forget the romance and ride in such a way that shorts will not be necessary. doesn't mean don't ride fast, just means think about it practically.
then again, there have been a few genuine flukes where i could have really used 'em. last week i poked some fuckhead businessman yakking on a cell phone (he didn't look, i yelled, he didn't hear) in the ass with my right-hand bullhorn. had i been riding short bars he would have escaped cleanly only to repeat the same b/s the next day. hence, second advantage of not getting short bars would be that they are not such effective social teaching tools as, for example, bullhorns.
30 Mar 09 8:11 pm
also, short bars are indeed gay.
17 Apr 09 10:07 pm
Yeah, plus short bars are basically the same thing as a big fuckin' bucket of puppies.
Can you hand me that New Jersey? South of South Dakota, North of New Mexico…
Damn bulls, droppin' china everywhere.
10 Aug 09 2:21 pm
Its realy awesome
Putting it to the test…
Narrower bars are a problem if you are a performance rider, and need to keep your lungs as open as possible. This is the right point for a rider that get's OUT of city traffic.
If you are an urban rider, it makes complete sense to have narrower bars. You fit better in traffic, period. But how narrow is narrow enough, and when does it become aesthetic?
I think, based on my limited experience in city traffic, that bars should be no narrower than your hips. Why? Your hips are at about the same height as your handlebars on a common fixie. You get NO benefit from having bars more narrow than that, from a traffic "fit" standpoint. Your bars may squeeze through, but your hips won't. Get it? Anything more narrow than that is simply compliance with a fad, and makes steering more dramatic.
06 Nov 10 3:44 pm
So you must be gay tyler!
Bars this short are silly. You can only go through something as narrow as your shoulders.

J. Bookwalter's Subplot #26 is a melange of Cab, Malbec, Merlot, Syrah, Cab Franc, Zin and Grenache from the 2010 vintage (even though this is not a vintage-designated wine)--the coldest vintage on record in Eastern Washington. Despite the extremely cool weather conditions, this is a decidedly big, fruity wine, with an abundance of red fruit draped in a robe of graphite, baking spices, savory herbs and cola. There's good lift to keep the all the fruit in check; this is a good value for drinking tonight.

Seizing upon the naive theme that law enforcement has become over militarized, Rep. Chris Stewart (R-Utah) recently introduced a bill titled "The Regulatory Agency Demilitarization Act" (H.R. 4934) that would disarm most Inspector General (IG) criminal investigators. His bill would revoke most IG agents' law enforcement authority and take away their authority to carry firearms and to make arrests.

Celebrity Chef Shares 'Kidney- and Diabetes-Friendly' Recipes at the 34th
Annual American Association of Kidney Patients Meeting
ST. LOUIS, Aug. 31 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Celebrity chef Katie Lee Joel and Shire Pharmaceuticals today announced that Katie will be conducting a cooking demonstration at the 34th Annual American Association of Kidney Patients (AAKP) Convention in St. Louis, Mo. this afternoon for patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). During the demonstration, Katie will demonstrate to patients and their family members how to cook recipes from Shire's 2007 edition of the Kidney Friendly Comfort Foods cookbook. Additionally, attendees will be able to sample some of Katie's recipes, as well as receive a complimentary copy of the new cookbook, which will be available for free after the event by visiting http://www.FOSRENOL.com or by calling (866) 896-6152.
Kidney disease is an issue close to Katie's heart because her grandfather was a dialysis patient for several years. Although the family was worried about his health, her grandfather was more concerned with the restrictions the condition put on his diet. To help keep him healthy and happy, Katie and her grandmother adapted many of their family's traditional recipes so that Katie's grandfather and the rest of the family could still eat the meals that they loved together.
"I know how difficult managing kidney disease can be, which is why I was so excited to contribute my recipes to Shire's second volume of the Kidney Friendly Comfort Foods cookbook," said Katie. "Through this cookbook and today's demonstration, I want to show patients that cooking kidney- and diabetes-friendly foods is not a sentence to boring food, and that these tasty meals can be enjoyed by the entire family."
Katie will be demonstrating two of her kidney- and diabetes-friendly
recipes at the AAKP meeting today from 3:45 p.m. to 5:30 p.m.

South West Trains used Twitter to keep its community well informed and even better engaged during the recent storm that hit the UK.
My post about how it all went down has gone live on the IAB blog.
Image source: @SW_Trains
It's been a good week for anyone wanting to catch up on the latest in automotive digital marketing. The IAB hosted a seminar on Tuesday that was full of insights into customer behaviour and new technologies.
Yesterday, I spoke about social media strategies at the Automotive Management's Digital Dealer Conference. It was a packed event and encouraging (or a relief?!) to note that all of the speakers seemed to be in agreement about a few key principles that transcend any industry:
Channel 4's Dispatches has uncovered a number of brands and agencies crossing a line, generating fake likes, followers and views, and using celebrities to endorse products, sometimes for cash and sometimes in exchange for a nice present or two. The programme is currently available to watch on 4OD and well worth it. Continue reading

Social Brands 100 23 May, a set by paul_clarke on Flickr.
Now you can play 'Spot the Social Brand'. Here are photos from last Thursday's launch in London.
That was quite the launch we had on Thursday. Photos and video to come. Here's the presentation of the findings in the meantime.
Video game Battlefield has taken the number one spot in Social Brands 100 – the annual report of brands leading the way in social. The ranking is dominated by the Retail industry this year, making up 25% of the list overall, however Travel brands have made their mark, with four featuring in the top ten.
The research has found that brands are starting to make the most of social for their customer care with scores slightly higher for those metrics. Scores were on average lower for engagement metrics, suggesting more could be done to better connect with people and create long-term loyalty. Continue reading

If you are going to hire an exterminator in Danbury, then you should have little idea about their work and professional way. First of all, here exterminator means companies, which work to exterminate pests from residential and commercial areas. If you are willing to get support of exterminator for perfect removal of bugs, insects and pests from your place, you can expect several essential things from them. For example, they can provide you detailed knowledge about pest removal and the process they will follow. They can provide you details upon pesticides they will use and most importantly, an experienced Danbury exterminator promises to exterminate all kinds of harmful pests from your residence and commercial area.
How to confirm that exterminator will work according to your expectancy?
If you are seeing for an exterminator in Danbury, probably you will expect that the chosen agency or company will provide you perfect service of pest extermination, but how will you confirm it? There are some simple ways through which you can confirm that the chosen company is capable of fulfilling your needs or not. At very first, you should check that the license is required in Danbury for a pest control company to work or not. As according to available information, it is required that's why you should check that chosen agency is licensed or not. If yes, then you can depend on its pest removal service.
If you are facing problems in finding the Danbury exterminator yourself, you can also take suggestions from your colleagues and friends. People in Danbury often hire pest control contractor to exterminate pests because there are too many pests in Danbury. You can visit referral agencies of pest control and then decide to take support of one. If the agency promises you to provide liability insurance, then you can expect good work from that exterminator. If a pest control company provides you liability insurance, you can feel free of all kinds of damages caused by them. They provide you quittance of damages, if it occurs.
Facts that show Danbury exterminators are good in their work:
According to above-mentioned guidelines, Danbury's pest control agencies are great in their work. Almost of them provide people liability insurance for pest control because they are professionals and their companies also work in many other cities of USA. Additionally, they use the right amount of pesticides with water so that no environmental damage can occur. That's why Danbury's exterminators are good in their work, and you can depend on them.
If the mosquitoes and flies have made your home their dwellings, you must call pest Control Company. For sure they will charge certain amount for pest control, but they will also stop future problems of insects like mosquitoes and flies. Along with that, you will also get relief from termite damages, bed bugs, crickets and many other kinds of bugs. All in all, I would like to say that a good Danbury exterminator is capable of completely exterminating pests and insects and providing you safe atmosphere in your house and commerce.

By Philip Leonetti with Scott Burnstein and Christopher Graziano
Running Press, $24, 320 pages
Nicodemo "Little Nicky" Scarfo, the boss of the Philadelphia-South Jersey La Cosa Nostra crime family in the 1980s, has been described by law enforcement officers and former criminal associates as ruthless, homicidal, greedy and paranoid — even by organized-crime standards.
Today, Scarfo, 83, sits in federal prison in large part because of Philip "Crazy Phil" Leonetti, his close nephew and criminal underboss, who became a witness against him.
Scarfo will not be happy with this book.
In "Mafia Prince," Leonetti tells the inside story of his uncle's rise to the leadership of the crime family and his violent seven-year reign. Leonetti also writes about his own criminal acts, which include 10 murders.
Leonetti tells of being born into La Cosa Nostra. In the absence of Leonetti's father, Scarfo became a surrogate father, raising Leonetti from childhood in their way of life.
Leonetti committed his first murder when he was 23, and he went on to commit countless other murders and criminal acts at his uncle's side. Between 1976 and 1987, Scarfo and Leonetti made millions of dollars through illegal gambling, loan sharking, extortion and skimming from the Atlantic City casinos.
The two were feared and respected by those in the underworld. A radio DJ called Leonetti "Crazy Phil," and the nickname stuck. Leonetti said he hated the moniker, but his uncle said most mob guys would love to have a nickname like that.
In "Mafia Prince" Leonetti offers a history of the Philadelphia mob, including the murder of longtime mob boss Angelo Bruno in 1980 and how Scarfo became the boss after Bruno's successor, Philip "Chicken Man" Testa, was murdered a year later by a powerful nail bomb on his front porch in South Philly.
Scarfo became the boss in 1981 and began an internecine mob war, leaving bodies on the streets of South Philly. He shook down drug dealers and gamblers and beat or murdered anyone who did not show him the proper "respect."
Leonetti also writes about accompanying his uncle to meetings with notorious gangsters including Meyer Lansky in Miami and John Gotti and Sammy "the Bull" Gravano in New York.
When Scarfo and Leonetti finally were convicted and received long sentences in prison, Leonetti made a deal with the feds and testified against his uncle and other organized-crime figures.
Being half-Italian and raised in South Philadelphia — the hub of the Philadelphia-South Jersey La Cosa Nostra organized-crime family — I was aware of La Cosa Nostra culture at an early age. I know or knew of many of the people in this book.
I was in my late 20s and early 30s living in South Philly during Scarfo's reign, and I recall vividly the mob war and the many murders that occurred in South Philadelphia and Atlantic City. I've also interviewed Philadelphia cops and FBI agents from that era, and I found Leonetti's descriptions of events, people and places to be frank and accurate.
I spoke recently to Philip Leonetti, who called me from an undisclosed location, as his uncle has placed a $500,000 contract on his life. Leonetti told me he wrote the book because, first, it is a great story. Second, he wrote the book so his son will understand his life in organized crime and how he was schooled in La Cosa Nostra from an early age by his uncle.


text: October marks the beginning of Halloween season, a time when spirits walk the earth and regular houses around the country transform into haunted houses. But be not afraid—our Haunted House Survival Kit will ensure you make it through a trip to even the most ghost-filled abode. 1. A Crossword Puzzle Book: Haunted houses are a popular seasonal activity, so popular that the lines to get in often stretch around the building. While you wait, amuse yourself with a good old-fashioned crossword. Anyone know a nine-letter word meaning "America's favorite puzzle"? 2. A Light Jacket: That chill you feel isn't just a ghost trying to hug you. It gets pretty cold out here at night, so you're going to want something heavy enough to block the wind but light enough that you won't sweat too much inside. 3. A Paper Bag: Look, it's going to be scary in there. We know that, and you know that. If you're feeling anxious, take a few deep breaths into a simple brown paper lunch bag. If old sitcoms taught us anything, it's that this is a sure-fire way to head off a panic attack. 4. A Stuffed Animal: Keep this in the bag, just in case the breathing doesn't work. For Halloween jitters, bears or lions are best, especially if they're also wearing Halloween costumes. 5. A Scary Mask: You're a few rooms in and starting to loosen up a little. This is fun, eh? Why not get in on the act and spook one of the performers with this zombie mask? They'll never expect it! Look, Frankenstein's Monster has his back turned. Now's your chance! 6. A Peak Jump-Starter: That monster you scared doesn't look so hot. In fact, he's clutching his chest and slumping against the lab table. Get him going again with a jolt from this handy jump starter. If its 600 peak amps are powerful enough to start a 1992 Dodge Dynasty, they've gotta be able to reanimate a Frankenstein, right? 7. A Blazer Stop/Tail/Turn 7-Function Light: Oh no. This is bad, man. This is real bad. The monster isn't moving. Now the next group's about to come through! You've got to get away from the scene, but you can't just leave this inert Frankenstein here like this. Quick! Take off that stupid mask, put this flashing signal light by the body, and get out of there. Go! 8. An Ionic Brush by Fuller Brush Co.: That Frankenstein's going to be OK, right? Of course. It was just a little scare. Somebody in the next group probably has him up and terrorizing villagers again by now. It's all gonna be fine. You've just gotta pull yourself together. You look like a mess. As you exit the haunted house, take a minute to breath in the cold night air and fix your hair with this ionic brush. Its double barrel ion output reduces static and flyaways, and might be enough to bribe the werewolf at the exit into forgetting he ever saw you.

Aconcagua: Beren & Team Arrive Plaza de Argentina
Posted by: Jake Beren, Mike King, Steve Gately | December 25, 2013
Categories: *Expedition Dispatches *Aconcagua
Christmas came early today, but instead of reindeer we mounted mules and forded the mighty Vacas river at dawn. Then we made our way up the Relinchos valley, gaining the most elevation of the trip so far. The team did great moving up this Tatooine like landscape underneath ten thousand feet of mighty Aconcagua visual splendor. It was a beautiful walk and and excellent way to spend the holiday. Knowing we've got a rest day coming up doesn't hurt either!
Pulling into Basecamp we were greeted by the familiar faces of friends from Christmas' past, Ana and Griselda our hostesses with the mostesses who made an excellent dinner to celebrate our arrival. After a spectacular sunset the team has turned in for a well earned night of rest.
Merry Christmas and Happy Festivas from all of us here in the Andes!

I am a new Z20 owner and I have set up bank charging per recommendations in these forums. it is working like a charm. One concern I have is that in the dropping of the Soneil string charger, desulfation action is lost. anyone know of an applicable battery desulfator (60 volts nominal) that would work with the Z bikes?

Re: sulfator?
I would just use the original string charger on every second or so charge
Your batteries shouldn't be going out of balance on every single charge

Man gets life in slaying of burned Ohio woman
ZANESVILLE, Ohio — A man was sentenced Monday to life in prison without the possibility of parole in the death of a severely burned 29-year-old woman who was found wailing along a rural eastern Ohio road.
The judge followed the recommendation of the jury in sentencing LaFonse Dixon Jr., 34, of Canton. He had been eligible for the death penalty, but the jury recommended that Dixon be spared after hearing evidence of his troubled upbringing.
Two women pleaded guilty in the case to avoid the death penalty and testified against Dixon. They said the trio took Celeste Fronsman, of Canton, to rural Muskingum County, where she was set on fire and abandoned in August 2012. A driver found the woman on the road, bleeding and with a strap around her neck. She died two days later.
"Ms. Fronsman died a horrific death at your hands," Muskingum County Common Pleas Judge Kelly Cottrill told Dixon. "Your self-absorbed, anything-goes lifestyle led directly to her death."
Prosecutors said the attack was retaliation stemming from the belief that Fronsman tipped police to a drug stash house.
Defense attorneys had argued that Dixon wasn't involved and that the women who testified, Katrina Culberson and Monica Washington, were liars trying to save themselves.
The driver who found Fronsman on the road testified that she was wailing in pain and her skin was falling off but she had enough strength to name at least two of her attackers.
Another judge on Monday sentenced Washington to life in prison, with a chance of parole after 25 years.
"We believe justice was served," Prosecutor Mike Haddox said after Dixon and Washington were sentenced. He said Dixon's sentence included 11 years in prison for a kidnapping charge in addition to the life term.
Prosecutors are recommending life in prison without parole for Culberson. She is scheduled to be sentenced Wednesday.

It's a good day to be a Kentuckian. The most insane, awesome, fun day of the year is upon most of Kentucky (especially those down in Louisville). The Kentucky Derby is going to run for 132nd time this year with a field of competitors that many are dubbing as "one of the best Derbys ever!" I know a lot of you probably don't care about horse racing at all, but Kentucky is the horse capital of the world and horse racing has an extremely intimate love affair with the Bluegrass State.
For those that have never been to the Derby – I highly recommend that you go at some point in your life. It's one of the most memorable experiences you can have; anyone would tell you this. The infield is so crazy that is makes Girls Gone Wild look like a conservative broadcast of partiers. If you venture into the infield you'll be lucky to come out sober and all your clothes on. This being said, if you're going to watch/bet from home I'd suggest sticking with Lawyer Ron or Sweetnorthernsaint (a typical underdog).
I mentioned earlier that Radiohead tickets went on sale today and people are already throwing out money on eBay as if their love for the British rockers knew no monetary limits. Rightfully so, I am sure many of you have been reading about Thom and Jonny's recent benefit concert in London where they played three new tracks.. Supposedly from their upcoming album. The tracks have been floating on various sites in a quality that made them sound nothing more than guitar and Thom moaning into the microphone. HOWEVER, I came across the three songs in a much more desirable quality that gives me the decent mind to let you hear them. Enjoy.
[MP3] Radiohead – Bodysnatchers
[MP3] Radiohead – Cymbal Rush
[MP3] Radiohead – Apreggi
Although still a rough live recording – it's a lot better than a lot of the other versions I've heard and gives a decent idea as to the direction the upcoming album may be headed. I'm pretty fond of "Bodysnatchers" already and cannot wait until they release their album, or at least give us some kind of news on its production. Judging by the these three tracks, do you guys think their new album will make 2006 the year of Radiohead? Which is your favorite "new" song?

Vesica piscis
The vesica piscis is a shape that is the intersection of two circles with the same radius, intersecting in such a way that the center of each circle lies on the perimeter of the other. The accurate geometrical construction is described within the prominent place of the first Proposition, of the first Book of Euclid's Thirteen Books of Elements (c.300 BC).[1] The name literally means the "bladder of a fish" in Latin. The shape is also called mandorla ("almond" in Italian).
The term is also used more generally for any symmetric lens.[2]
Mathematical description[edit]
The mathematical ratio of the height of the vesica piscis to the width across its center is the square root of 3, or 1.7320508... (since if straight lines are drawn connecting the centers of the two circles with each other and with the two points where the circles intersect, two equilateral triangles join along an edge). The ratios 265:153 = 1.7320261... and 1351:780 = 1.7320513... are two of a series of approximations to this value, each with the property that no better approximation can be obtained with smaller whole numbers. Archimedes of Syracuse, in his On the Measurement of the Circle, uses these ratios as upper and lower bounds:[3]
In Christian art, some aureolas are in the shape of a vertically oriented vesica piscis, and the seals of ecclesiastical organizations can be enclosed within a vertically oriented vesica piscis (instead of the more usual circular enclosure). Also, the icthys symbol incorporates the vesica piscis shape.
The cover of the Chalice Well in Glastonbury (Somerset, United Kingdom) depicts a stylized version of the vesica piscis design (see picture).
The vesica piscis has been used as a symbol within Freemasonry, most notably in the shapes of the collars worn by officiants of the Masonic rituals.[4] It was also considered the proper shape for the enclosure of the seals of Masonic lodges.[5][6]
The vesica piscis is also used as proportioning system in architecture, in particular Gothic architecture. The system was illustrated in Cesare Cesariano's Vitruvius (1521), which he called "the rule of the German architects".
The shape may be found in the topology of certain networks.

TUESDAY, May 29 (HealthDay News) -- Joann Becenti awoke with a start -- shocked to realize she was behind the wheel of a moving car.
Fortunately, she was able to guide the car safely to the side of the road and no one was hurt. But Becenti's sleepless nights could have cost her her life.
"It scared the hell out me," said Becenti, who lives in Gallup, N.M. "I knew I'd been tired a lot. I could fall asleep at the drop of a hat, but I didn't know why. My husband told me that I snored at night and it seemed like I stopped breathing sometimes, but honestly, I didn't really think anything about it. I didn't suspect sleep apnea, and I certainly didn't think that was why I was so tired during the day."
Her near-accident was just the scare she needed to get her to go to the doctor. He told her he suspected that she had sleep apnea.
To confirm the diagnosis, the doctor sent her to a sleep lab to have an overnight sleep study. During the sleep study, Becenti was quickly diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea. She was having at least 15 episodes every hour during which she was completely deprived of oxygen for more than 10 seconds at a time.
The sleep specialist then hooked up a continuous positive airway pressure, or CPAP, machine and let Becenti sleep the rest of the night attached to the machine.
"I woke up the next morning feeling rested and wonderful, even though I hadn't gotten a full night's sleep," she said.
Becenti got her own CPAP machine to use at home. Although she liked the way she felt in the morning, she said the face mask was uncomfortable and the dry air from the CPAP machine seemed to aggravate her asthma symptoms.
After explaining this to her doctor, she said, he was able to quickly solve her problems. Instead of a mask that fit just around her nose, she got one that covered her nose, mouth and part of her face. In addition, she was able to ad

PRACTICE TIP: FDA chemists commonly analyze or have analyzed samples of food that is alleged to be economically adulterated. In various cases, OCL has introduced such testimony, and sometimes not introduced it. This is because scientific testing may or may not be helpful. Testing alone does not indicate who added the ingredient. Moreover, sophisticated cheaters may keep ahead of the technology of detection, using chemistry to conceal their fraud. See United States v. Mays, 69 F.3d 116, 119 (6th Cir. 1995), cert. denied, 116 S.Ct. 2504 (1996); United States v. Kohlbach, 38 F.3d 832, 834 (6th Cir. 1994), vacated in part on other grounds, 117 S.Ct. 39 (1996).
In the "Moon Down" prosecution, the defendants had gone to great lengths to avoid scientific detection. They had also attacked testing methodology in conversations with customers and others who had accused the defendants of adding sugar based on a test result. The conversations about these matters were highly incriminating, while the test results themselves were of little substantive value.
At trial, the government introduced testimony about what defendants did to avoid detection, and to frustrate the efforts of scientists who accused them of fraud. Defendants objected that the evidence was scientific evidence coming in through the "back door" without a Daubert hearing, and unduly prejudicial. The government successfully defeated these efforts, as reported in the Sixth Circuit opinion (69 F.3d 116) cited above. Below is the government's brief on this point.
XXXXXX and XXXXX XXXX challenge the admission of testimony which they contend impermissibly mentioned scientific testing of orange juice. They argue that this testimony was inadmissible hearsay, that its admission violated their constitutional right to confront witnesses, and that the district court's admonishments to the jury were insufficient to protect their rights (SMOB at 24-38).[FN1]
FN1. Both defendants arguments are the same. For simplicity, all cites will be to XXXXXX XXXX' Opening Brief.
Standard of Review: Whether evidence is inadmissible hearsay is reviewed de novo. United States v. Fountain, 2 F.3d 656, 668 (6th Cir.), cert. denied, 114 S. Ct. 608 (1993). Any error by the district court in admitting hearsay evidence is further reviewed to determine whether its admission was harmless in light of other, properly admitted evidence. Id. at 669.
Hearsay consists of "a statement, other than one made by the declarant while testifying at the trial or hearing, offered in evidence to prove the truth of the matter asserted." Fed. R. Evid. 801(c). Evidence admitted not to establish the truth of the matter asserted, but instead for some other legitimate purpose, is not hearsay. See, e.g., United States v. Moss, 9 F.3d 543, 549 (6th Cir. 1993); United States v. Gibson, 675 F.2d 825, 833-34 (6th Cir.), cert. denied, 459 U.S. 972 (1982). As this Court has explained:
[W]hen a statement is offered to prove neither the truth nor falsity, there is no need to assess the credibility of the declarant. The significance lies entirely in the fact that the words were spoken. Thus, the statement does not fall within the Rule 801(c) definition of hearsay nor would the purposes of the hearsay rule be served by treating it as hearsay.
United States v. Hathaway, 798 F.2d 902, 905 (6th Cir. 1986).
Thus, for example, "[t]he hearsay rule does not apply to statements offered merely to show that they were made or had some effect on the hearer." United States v. Martin, 897 F.2d 1368, 1370 (6th Cir. 1990); accord United States v. Williams, 952 F.2d 1504, 1517 (6th Cir. 1991) (statements offered to show effect on victim not hearsay); United States v. Horton, 847 F.2d 313, 323 (6th Cir. 1988) (same). Similarly, because they are not offered to establish the truth of the matter asserted, none of the following are hearsay: (1) a third party's out-of-court statements offered to explain a witness's understanding of why she was told to act in a particular way, United States v. Ellzey, 874 F.2d 324, 329 (6th Cir. 1989); (2) statements offered to explain the sequence of events leading up to a witness's involvement in a transaction with a defendant, United States v. Evans, 883 F.2d 496, 501 (6th Cir. 1989); and (3) statements offered to establish a witness's state of mind, United States v. Bartle, 835 F.2d 646, 651-52 (6th Cir. 1987), cert. denied, 485 U.S. 969 (1988).
Here, the Indictment alleged that, in order to evade detection, the conspirators tried to learn about scientific tests used to detect fruit juice adulteration (R. 1: Indictment at 8-9). The Indictment also alleged that the defendants falsely assured customers and others that Moon Down's products were not adulterated with sugar (id. at 11-13).
The challenged testimony set forth various aspects of the defendants' conspiracy to defraud, which included the giving of false assurances that Moon Down's product was 100 percent pure. The challenged evidence was admitted to prove the Indictment's allegations; it was not admitted to prove the validity of any scientific assessment.[FN2]
FN2. XXXX' suggestion that scientific analysis was always understood by the parties and the court to be a "central issue at trial" (SMOB at 25-26) is incorrect. For example, in a pretrial order, the court informed defendants after reviewing grand jury transcripts that "[i]t strains the imagination to suggest that the scientific evidence was an important, let alone essential, foundation supporting the indictment" and that "[o]n the whole, the scientific evidence did not appear important compared to the voluminous testimony of former employees and business partners." (R. 488: Memorandum and Order at 5; see also id. at 2-4). At trial, the government relied on the testimony of numerous co-conspirators and employees, as well as documentary and physical evidence, to prove adulteration and misbranding--not scientific evidence. Given the evidence regarding testing or test results that was presented and its limited use, the government violated no court order, as defendants allege (SMOB at 25 n.6).
Specifically, the challenged references to testing or test results made by former employees or co-conspirators (e.g., XXXXX XXXXXXX XXXX, XXXXX XXXX, XXXXX XXXXXX) were offered to show the development of the fraudulent scheme and the steps that the defendants and their co-conspirators took to evade detection (X. XXXX, V. 7 at 119-24, 146-50, 152-53, 163-74; XXXXXX, V. 11 at 135-38; Hare, V. 15 at 127-32). The testimony from the defendants' customers (e.g., XXXXXXX XXXXXX and XXXXXXX XXXXXXX) was offered to establish that the customers confronted defendants with test results, how the defendants and their co-conspirators reacted to the test results, and how the defendants and their co-conspirators gave false assurances to their customers in an attempt to lull their suspicions (XXXXX, V. 9 at 7-10, 11-12, 15-20; XXXXXX, V. 9, at 81-82, 87-95).[FN3]
FN3. Although XXXX objects to XXXXX XXXXX's testimony (SMOB at 29), no one objected to the testimony at trial, and, in any event, XXXX's testimony did not relate to scientific test results (XXXXX, V. 9 at 111, 116, 120).
For example, XXXXXXX testified that, after informing the defendants that his company had received a test result indicating the presence of sugar, he received a letter (GX 81) dated August 18, 1988, from XXXXXX XXXX (XXXXXXX, V. 9, at 90-92). This letter disparaged the test results and reaffirmed that Moon Down's product was authentic. (GX 81). After receiving these assurances, XXXXXXX's company resumed buying Moon Down's product (XXXXXXX, V. 9 at 92). As XXXXXXX XXXX admitted, however, this letter, which was specifically identified in the Indictment (R. 1: Indictment, at 11-12 (Overt Act (k)), was false (X. XXXX, V. 7 at 170-71).
The district court recognized that the challenged testimony was being offered to show part of the defendants' conspiracy, explaining when scientific testing was first discussed that "it's just . . . part of the conspiracy to attempt to conceal it" (V. 7 at 117). Balancing prejudice against probative value under Fed. R. Evid. 403, the court found, "It's clearly relevant. . . . This is highly relevant. . . . It's part of the guts of what they were trying to conceal and how they concealed it. . . . It's clearly not being introduced to show the truth or veracity of any of the tests that were conducted." (Id. at 116-18; see also R. 596: [Post-trial] Memorandum and Order at 2).
In short, testimony concerning scientific evidence was offered to show the defendants' or their customers' reactions to the reports, not the reports' accuracy. If anything, the government's evidence established that scientific test results were viewed as being unreliable (e.g. X. XXXX, V. 7 at 119, 134, 139-40, 150-51, 163-67, 173-74; XXXXXXX, V. 9 at 92; XXXXXX, V. 9 at 15). The government's proof of adulteration and misbranding came from numerous other sources. Because the evidence was not hearsay, the defendants' constitutional right to confront witnesses is not implicated. See Tennessee v. Street, 471 U.S. 409, 413-14 (1985); Williams, 952 F.2d at 1518.
Furthermore, there was no significant risk that the jury misunderstood the purpose for which this evidence was admitted. The district court took great care to admonish the jury each time testing was mentioned. In light of the court's admonishments during testimony, which frequently included instructions to the jury to assume that scientific testing was not reliable (e.g., X. XXXX, V. 7 at 164; Utterback, V. 8 at 13-14; XXXXXX, V. 9 at 7-8; XXXXXXX V. 9, at 88; XXXXXX, V. 11 at 115-16), as well as the court's closing instruction to the same effect (Instructions, V. 18 at 138-39), there can be no question as to the jury's understanding that this evidence was being offered only for a limited purpose.[FN4]
FN4. XXXX relies upon Randolph v. Parker, 575 F.2d 1178 (6th Cir. 1978), and Marsh v. Richardson, 781 F.2d 1201 (6th Cir. 1986), to argue that the admonishments were insufficient (SMOB at 38 & n.17). This reliance is misplaced, as both cases were reversed by the Supreme Court. See Richardson v. Marsh, 481 U.S. 200 (1987), rev'g 781 F.2d 1201 (6th Cir. 1986); Parker v. Randolph, 442 U.S. 62 (1979), rev'g 575 F.2d 1178 (6th Cir. 1978). In reversing, the Supreme Court emphasized that proper limiting instructions were given and that the general presumption that jurors follow their instructions was applicable. See Richardson, 481 U.S. at 206-11; Parker, 442 U.S. at 73-75.
Finally, in light of the overwhelming evidence against the defendants, any theoretical error in admitting this testimony was, as the district court determined (R. 564: Mem. Op. at 25), harmless beyond a reasonable doubt. See, e.g., Fountain, 2 F.3d at 669......

PITTSBURGH, Feb. 3 /PRNewswire/ -- An era of personalized medicine is redefining how patients and doctors work together to fight cancer. Now, drug response markers such as the ChemoFx® diagnostic test show promising results which can help to determine individual cancer treatment plans when using various chemotherapeutic agents.
ChemoFx® is a test produced by Precision Therapeutics, Inc., a life sciences company in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. With the introduction of this innovative drug response marker, the company has pioneered a method of identifying cancer cell response and sensitivity to various chemotherapeutic and biologic agents at the biopsy stage -- long before a patient actually begins chemotherapy -- providing a custom blueprint of a patient's probable tumor response.
The result is valuable insight into which chemotherapy drugs are most likely to work in an individual cancer patient's own body -- along with those that are unlikely to be effective in shrinking and killing the cancerous tumor. This information can then be used to help guide chemotherapy treatment decisions, according to company officials.
"Patients and their physicians will have an understanding of how chemo will impact the cancer cells themselves long before it impacts the patient," says Sean McDonald, CEO of Precision Therapeutics. "By testing multiple agents on a patient's cancer cells in the lab, ChemoFx® determines the chemotherapies that are more likely to be effective and avoid those that are likely to be ineffective, giving patients a powerful advantage in their fight against cancer."
The diagnostic test works by taking a sample of a patient's tumor, which is removed during biopsy or surgery, and sending that sample to the Precision Therapeutics labo

Petitioning Mayor of Taiji Kazutaka Sangen and 7 others
Please STOP the annual Taiji slaughter and capture of cetaceans.
This petition will be resubmitted to the Consul General of Japan in Hong Kong,in September 2015.
During these hunts, small whales and dolphins are rounded up into shallow bays and slaughtered with knives and hand-held harpoons. The drive fishery in Japan continues due to the demand for the meat however the demand for the animals to supply marine
parks far outweighs the demand for consumption. This killing must be stopped.
We need to let the Japanese Minister know that we cannot and will not tolerate the slaughter or capture of these sentient beings.
The message is positive:
Japan, let the dolphins live and be free!
Letter to
Mayor of Taiji Kazutaka Sangen
Consul-General of Japan in Hong Kong Mr. Hitoshi Noda
H.E. Mr Kazuyoshi Umemoto
and 5 others
We the undersigned members of the community implore you to put an end to the brutal treatment and unsustainable slaughter of dolphins in the Japanese drive fisheries. We urge you to lead the way and take action in stopping the inhumane treatment and killing of these highly sentient mammals. We strongly believe that the sourcing of animals from this fishery for any purposes including human consumption, fertiliser and live public display, is unethical. Dolphins and whales belong in their natural habitat and can be observed this way as an alternative way of enjoyment. I ask that you urge the Japanese government to revoke permits that allow Japan's Fisheries Agency to continue this heinous, dangerous and illegal practice. Japan, Let the dolphins live and be free. Your immediate action is needed.
Please STOP the annual Taiji slaughter or cetaceans.
Please STOP the annual Taiji slaughter or cetaceans.

When are patients eligible to change their current Medicare Part D plan?
Patients are eligible to change their current Medicare Part D plan through the open enrollment period. The open enrollment period for Medicare Part D plans begins every year on October15 and runs through December 7, with the plans taking effect on January 1. With that said, you should still contact your individual plan to find out if there is way to opt out earlier. Odds are you are stuck with the current plan until next year. That is why it is so important to take your time and do the necessary research before making a selection.

Dodge has been teasing us with images of the redesigned 2011 Dodge Durango SUV for some time now, but we finally had a chance to see the SUV in person at the Chicago Country Music Festival in downtown Chicago.
The Durango is related to the Jeep Grand Cherokee SUV, but it's longer and comes with a third-row seat. It's not a cut-and-lengthen limousine-style stretch job, however; there's a natural flow to the styling from nose to tail.
Even though it's a big SUV, the Durango has a hunkered-down stance that makes it appear lower than a Chevrolet Tahoe, for instance. The trim level we saw was a top-of-the-line Citadel, but Express, Crew and R/T trims will be offered, too, according to Greg Rush, Dodge and Ram brand marketing manager.
While the Durango's interior was off-limits, you can check out our set of exterior photos below. Click on any of them to view a larger version.

I was looking for a comprehensive comparison between the P1 and Enterprise Sku's (E1-E4). As I searched I found several conversations and posts about what can you and can't you do. I found a good FAQ out on the Office 365 site - http://www.microsoft.com/en-sg/office365/faqs.aspx. I also found our Plan Overview information - http://www.microsoft.com/en-sg/office365/plans.aspx, but as I continued to search, there seemed to be a lot of questions in forums. I ran across this resource at Office365Answers.com. It is a great post and gives a good comparison of what you can expect with the P1. Brett, the author, has even updated it to reflect some recent changes. He is currently on Version 1D updates 08/23/2011. Check out his post at: http://www.office365answers.com/AllArticles/ID/2344/Office-365s-P1-Plan-What-you-must-know.aspx
Here is a snipit of his information, please go to the article for more details:
The P1 plan costs $6 per month per user with a minimum of 1 user – an excellent value.
The services are delivered from the same platform and data centers as the E plans and include Exchange Online, SharePoint Online, and Lync Online.
Important features available in both the P1 and E plans include:
In fact, the P1 Plan includes hundreds of features, all for less than the cost of a movie ticket.
Of course, for the price, limitations are to be expected. What follows is a list of differences between the P1 and E Plans, compiled from multiple sources.

Comments about Pearl Fit All Tilting Bongo Stand:
This product has met or exceeded all of my expectations in terms of functionality and quality. It is made for the stand-up bongocero, and it will not get low enough for the seated player. If you want to play seated, get the seated version.It has rock solid construction and should last multiple lifetimes.It has a complete range of adjustability, allowing the bongos to be positioned for minimum tension in the shoulders, forearms and wrists. Finally, because there is no clamp or strap required to secure the bongo to the stand, if desired you can simply lift the bongos off the stand to play in the traditional way, when appropriate.In summary, this item is quality hardware, and I can't find any fault with it.

Pharmacokinetics May Explain Differences in Cisplatin and Oxaliplatin Ototoxicity
More cisplatin enters the inner ear in an animal model than oxaliplatin. The difference may explain why cisplatin treatment in humans can lead to hearing problems while oxaliplatin rarely does.
The amount of cisplatin a patient can tolerate is often limited by hearing damage induced by the drug, referred to as ototoxicity. Oxaliplatin is not frequently associated with the problem, despite the fact that both drugs are platinum compounds.
To find out why the difference exists, Victoria Hellberg, M.D., at the Karolinska Institutet in Stockholm, and colleagues measured the amount of cisplatin and oxaliplatin that reached the cochlea in guinea pigs following intravenous dosing of each drug.
The total platinum concentration in the cochlea was more than five-fold higher with cisplatin than with oxaliplatin following intravenous injection. The perilymphatic drug concentration was also higher in the cisplatin-treated animals than in those exposed to oxaliplatin.
"The differences in cochlear kinetics and cellular uptake that we found in the hearing end organ are sufficient to explain the difference in ototoxicity between cisplatin and oxaliplatin," the authors conclude.

The aryl substituent on the catalyst is central to the success of the title reaction (see scheme) which affords allylic amines in up to 89 % ee and 91 % yield with a catalyst derived from [Ni(cod)2] and a P-chiral ferrocenyl phosphane (e.g. 1). The coupling products are easily deprotected to enantiomerically enriched, tetrasubstituted primary allylic amines, which can be recrystallized to optical purity.

Hands up if you love Earth's new flag for space exploration!
When humans from Earth meet aliens on another planet, we'll probably need a flag to wave out of our spaceship to show them we mean no harm. We'll probably also need a flag for claiming land on alien planets because it's going to be hard for land-thirsty humans to leave that alone. So one guy has explored this idea and come up with a nifty flag for us all.

Cultivating peace at work
We're watching organizations come close to imploding daily. Violence – if you take a broad view of what that means – abounds everywhere in our workplaces. The kind of violence I speak of is not as readily obvious as bodily harm, war or mass killings, but it could be a form of violence nonetheless. The slow killing of employee's spirit with the stress of expectations beyond what is humanly possible is a kind of psychological battle in and of itself.
Can we explain that the constant fear of job loss really isn't a form of violence perpetuated by the way we do business today? Have you noticed the slow advance of the implicit idea that technology could create super-employees on which our workplaces place undue expectations? Are you ready to recognize and address the stress that is caused with often-inhumane workplace practices?
When people are stressed (and many are in our modern workplaces), a form of psychological harm occurs. I believe that you, as a leader, can make a difference amidst this war with every heart you touch. When you begin by making peace within yourself, and then within your organization, the conflict can ease and some peace can be at hand. With peace the rewards can be great – employees who once lived in fear become motivated employees who want to make a difference.
Peace begins with you.
How to cultivate your own peace:
Renounce violence in yourself. Deal with the stress that threatens violence in your own life by finding a way to cultivate peace in your heart. Exercise, eat well, meditate, do yoga, reflect on gratitude, forgive, pray, avoid external overt violence (in the media in particular), put your relationships and family first. Notice damaging thoughts about yourself and others and turn them around methodically to find goodness. Do whatever it takes to be resilient and strong in the face of the violence that is all around you.
How to impact peace in others:
Model for others what you are doing to cultivate internal calm. Encourage peace at work through coaching others to express kindness, understanding and gratitude. Do not tolerate the verbal violence that others perpetuate. Be aware that every thought you have and every word you speak either supports the violence around you or cultivates harmony. Allow those you lead to do what it takes to keep themselves and their families healthy and peaceful. Speak up against the systematic killing of spirit in the workplace.
You can make a difference in this, and you will see the impact on your bottom line. Cultivate peace in your own heart, and look for ways to impact those who follow you, one spirited person at a time.

Hi Mary Jo,
I like your approach to this topic which actually causes much quiet trouble at work.
When people choose words that can communicate disagreement of ideas w/o disrespecting the person — and truly own the impact of their words — then you can have productive harmony.
Harmony is not repression of thought nor avoidance of discussion. It is sometimes the vehement exploration of diverse ideas to reach a unified agreement (harmony) — done without attack against those with the different ideas.
I meet leaders who are concerned that a search for harmony threatens results and others who believe you can't have results without a concurrent harmony.
In the end, each person practicing honesty not bluntness contributes to a valuable harmony that can yield incredible innovation and success.
Here are two posts that express my thoughts even further:
I think your post will generate much discussion for it goes to the heart of individual differences and needs.
Great post.

He should have made the jumpers stay in the plane... It is always nice to have someone to scream with you.
I think the pilot was related to Bob Hoover.
The judgmental spectators were funny, critiquing him the whole way down about how he was going to stall it and then acting like he was awesome the second it touched down. Good job pilot. Shut up foul-mouthed junior high kids at the DZ.
Bravo!!!! Superb job!!!! That's how a real pilot does it, instead of pilots of certain aircraft (not gonna name it) would immediately rely in the red parachute handle just above them.
When I learned to fly dead stick landings were part of the things that we did. Today they teach pilots to be operators. Sad.
They're still part of training. Doesn't mean losing an engine in a single is a non-event.

Yes you are 100% correct and I don't like it at all. As long as people make airplanes there will be emergencies. Had this not been a skydive pilot that is forced to push the airplane and his own stick and rudder skills each time he fly's the outcome may have not been so good. And the fact he was over the airport. To me most pilots that learned to fly in glass cockpits with nice autopilots don't have the same stick and rudder skills of a pilot trained in an old 80's C-172 even more when it comes to IFR. I think I had over 2K hours before I had a autopilot that would even think of flying an IFR app.
Not saying the man didn't do a good job, just saying he had about everything going for him any pilot could ask for in that emergency.
Yeah back in my day we hand cranked our car engines to life and we wrote letters with feather and quill… All this automation today is ruining us!
good job !!!!
Better than SSA! You bet!
Sir, you are a Boss

As Salaamu Alaykum Sisters!
My name is Elisa and I am a revert to Islam (2.5 years, alhamdulillah). April is the first month for my husband and I to TTC. My AF is due May 2, so I'm hoping it does not show, insha'allah. Please make du'a for me sisters! I know it's only our first cycle TTC, but we won't get the chance again till June for only 2 days (my husband and I are currently 8 hours away from each other due to graduating from different Universities) and then not again until October (July 1 my husband will be going home to Morocco for 3 months). To get pregnant now would be such a BLESSING!
I am estimating to be about 10 dpo right now. I don't use OPK's or temping. . .just prediction calculators I find online. As of today my BBs are feeling sore and I've been having cramping since about 3 dpo. Also, I'm not going to the bathroom so much (#2, sorry for the TMI).
Insha'Allah these are good signs and not because of an expectant AF!
So excited to get to know all you ladies on here
