V-brakes that are supposed to be compatible with road levers. Is there a compromise here that may result in sub-par performance?

V-brakes that are supposed to be compatible with road levers. Is there a compromise here that may result in sub-par performance?
Looks like the relative length of the arms is shorter, which would correct for the lack of throw in the road levers, at the cost of some stopping power. But I don't know that there is any way around that short of something like the Pedersens that boost actual caliper performance. They point out that the smaller brake is more compact and easier to accommodate.
The hand and the lever produce a certain amount of mechanical advantage, and it is hard to play with that number and not affect something like modulation, or adjustment off the rims. The levers are hard to mess with because they are used from two positions which sorta triangulates their form. These Vs should work pretty well, but as the Irish say "he's no better than he should be".
Yeah, my understanding is that with road brake levers, v-brakes tend to have more stopping power but less modulation. I believe the vernacular term is that they feel "grabby" and can cause fork shudder.
Assuming you have cantis, you have a few options:
Adjust the brakes properly.
Get better brake pads.
Get a better pair of cantis.
Put one V-brake up front only.
FWIW I barely notice the difference between calipers and my Avid Short 4's when they are set up right.
The website says "Compatible with most Levers." Since they don't specify road pull, I'd be hesitant to use them as such.
Well, they are "cx" brakes so of course they designed them to work with road levers. Whether the user likes having to set up his pads that close to the rims to start is another question.

Series Description: Each episode of "WordWorld" is a narrative built around a wacky troupe of characters, WordFriends, who are characters first and words second. "WordWorld's" WordFriends go on comic adventures and face challenges that can only be resolved with the right word. Sheep is a shy little girl who loves to pretend; Frog is the cautious brainiac and word "expert"; impetuous Duck is still learning his letters; Pig lives in the moment; Ant is a pragmatic bundle of energy; and Dog is a WordFriend's best friend. A key component of the show is word building, a unique moment when children witness a word "morph" into the thing it is. Word building reinforces the pre-reading concept that letters make words and that words have meaning.

When trying to save a Gallery in NextGen as belonging to a certain author, it does not stick. Yet, if I disable Custom Roles, the author doesn't even show in the list. Puts me in a real quandary.
Also, when your Custom Roles plugin is enabled, the list of authors in the dropdown menus are not in alphabetical order. When you have a lot of authors, as we do, it can be annoying, trying to find the author.
So, your plugin works fine when posting articles, but not when setting up a gallery in NextGen.
One other problem I've noticed: When using Quick Edit in the Posts list in WordPress admin, the author always changes to the first in the list. So if you're quick-editing something else, like tags, etc, you have to be aware of this, or when you save, it'll attribute it to the wrong author.
Are there any work-arounds/fixes for these problems? Can you fix them and update the plugin?
Thank you.

This release is available in French.
Montreal, January 18, 2011 Cyndia Charfi, a Ph. D student in biology at Universit du Qubec Montral (UQAM), supported by her thesis supervisors, Professor ric Rassart, and Adjunct Professor Elsy Edouard, UQAM, Department of Biological Sciences and BIOMED Research Centre, made a major breakthrough in research on B-cell acute lymphocytic leukemia, a disease that occurs most commonly in children. She has successfully identified a gene that may facilitate the diagnosis of this cancer, which is characterized by an abnormal proliferation of B-cells, antibody-producing cells that defend the body against infection. Her findings were recently published in the prestigious scientific journal Blood.
The research
Cyndi Charfi first compared the transcriptome (the set of active genes in a cell) of leukemic and healthy mice. From this analysis, she was able to isolate groups of genes with abnormal activity in the leukemic mice. This led to the discovery that excessive synthesis of the Fmn2 gene and protein is associated with B-cell lymphocytic leukemia.
Although mice cells are genetically similar to human cells, they clearly are not identical. So the young researcher continued her work, this time using human cells. Her results were the same: abormal activity of Fmn2 gene was observed in human patients with B-cell lymphocytic leukemia and particularly in children.
Better diagnosis for better treatment
Leukemia refers to all cancers that attack the bone marrow cells. The bone marrow produces blood cells, hence the term "blood cancer". As there are several types of blood cells (including B-cells), there are also several types of leukemia, and the treatment differs for each type. The faster and more accurate the diagnosis of the type of leukemia, the better the treat

This scent by far is my favourite one from Bath & Body Works! My Mom and I love this thing :P It's so sweet and floral and I love it! The fragrance lingers for quite some time and that's what I like. I would certainly repurchase this one.

My aunt bought this for whenever BnBW was having a big sale, and I am glad to have been introduced to this scent. Typically, I favor sweeter fragrances; however, the floral in this is nice. The scent lingers after application, which for me is desirable. The moisturizing properties are average. I suppose go for the body cream if your skin is really dry. Mine does fine with just the lotion. I like it. It can be a little overwhelming if I use too much, so personally, I keep my application to just a thin coat.

JCP is my favorite scent from B&BW. Everytime I go to the store I have to pick up atleast something from JCP (If I can purchasing anything).. The scent is just so lovely, girly, romantic and all that good stuff. I can see why it is so popular.. definitely a keeper. I do believe I have almost everything in the JCP line minus the perfume.

I've been a fan of the original Cherry Blossom scent for a few years now. This is a spicier, more perfume-y version with a hint of musk (which I find sexy). I use BBWs lotions instead of perfume, and I find that this lotion works as well as and smells as nice as department store perfumed lotions. My husband and son are sensitive to scents and usually don't like when I try something new, but they both like this one. If you like the sweet, pretty scent of the original Cherry Blossom, try this one to spice things up in the cooler months!

I spent quite a well in BBW today trying all the different scents. In the end I ended up leaving with the Japanese Cherry Blossom lotion and body mist. So far, I love the scent. It is feminine without being sickly sweet. I am trying to get away from smelling like food (although I do enjoy the foody scents!) and the JCB seems like a good place to start. I don't like anything masculine smelling and this was the only scent in their "sexy" line that wasn't musky. Seems like a scent guys would like to smell on a girl.

This is a great floral oriental, and I usually despise oriental fragrances. I use this lotion as a fragrance because it is quite strong...too strong to actually use as an all-over body lotion...at least for me. I prefer it in the lotion, and I only need to put a pea size on my lower fragrance points (ankle, behind the knee, lower back). I love that it is available in the 3 fl oz size, because this alone, will last me quite awhile. It will be sad to see it go when they discontinue it...and I believe that will be soon, unfortunately. We shall see.

Strangely, I like the smell of this, but I don't really want to walk around smelling like it. It's very flowery and sweet, slightly perfumey but not too much. Maybe I'd wear it at night or something. The smell also doesn't really last very long, and there is nothing special about it as a lotion.

I like the Japanese Cherry Blossom scent better than the original Cherry Blossom. But does this do anything for your skin? Not really. Plus it contains a lot of chemicals I would prefer not to have on my skin.

"Excellent case fanBought one of these to go in the front my Antec 300. Superb quiet fan, can only be heard if you put your head very close to it. The fan is rated at 38 CFM, not 49 CFM as in the description. If you want a quiet PC, and don't want need a serious amount of air moved, these are great."
"Does what it says on the tin :)Yup, if you want airflow with zero noise, these will do just fine. They're a bit sexy too, if a fan can be sexy. Not for the serious enthusiast but for everyone else they're a no brainer."

Mayor Launches Thames Festival, ROH Hosts Firsts
Editorial Staff • West End • 9 Sep 2003
Theatre-wise, the festival centrepiece will be the staging of Sticky, the first large-scale theatrical event to be presented in the riverside Jubilee Gardens (in association with the South Bank Centre) in many years. Earlier this year, Sticky went down under where it was seen by some 15,000 people during the Sydney Festival. The creation of Improbable Theatre (best known for cult junk opera hit Shockheaded Peter) combines theatre, art, installation and fireworks into one visual feast.
The Thames Festival also includes street theatre, music, food and craft stalls, funfair rides and the 'Midnight Menagerie' Procession of Lights. For further information, visit the Thames Festival website.
And later this month in Covent Garden, the Royal Opera House's Linbury Studio Theatre will host a week-long "Festival of Firsts", under the direction of Deborah Bull in collaboration with the Helen Hamlyn Trust. The programme consists of three mixed bills juxtaposing different artists and forms more normally seen on the fringe.
Amongst the artists and companies taking part in the event, which runs from 20 to 25 September 2003, are Base Chorus, Clod Ensemble, Eddie Ladd, Hoipolloi, Jean Abreu, Stan's Café, Tiebreak Theatre, Ursula Martinez and Wild Roots Collective. The two-part aim of the Festival of Firsts is to highlight emerging talents and attract new audiences to the ROH. All festival tickets are priced £5.

Underwater Hockey is an exciting sport involving strategy, skill and fitness. Played at the bottom of a pool using snorkeling gear, teams try to get the weighted puck into the opposing goal by using short curved sticks. The sport is relatively low-impact, a good cross-training activity and offers an interesting break from other traditional sports.
We recently created a Facebook group. Check it out, add photos and interact with the other members of the club.
College Royal Tournament - Sat March 16, 2013 - As a group we participated in an all-day UWH tournament at University of Guelph. The tournament, College Royal, has been running for 34 years and features various teams from the region. We had roughly 20 people split into two squads, The Tentacles and The Tempests, the action was intense and we all shared in a grand experience!
Recently we were featured in a video report on Yahoo! Sports Canada.
Also our lead organizer Emmanuel was featured in a radio interview with Seamus O'Reagan on Newstalk 1010! Here's a link to the podcast and the interview starts around the 20:00 mark.
Our club is newly formed and members come from all kinds of backgrounds. The games feature a mix of beginners to experienced players and we try to accommodate needs where possible. Both men and women play together (aka "co-ed") and generally we have a ratio of 60-70% male to 30-40% female. The atmosphere is very social and we maintain a high level of respect and safety.
Location: The club plays weekly at the Trinity-Bellwoods pool in downtown Toronto (Strachan & Queen St. West) where parking is available and there's easy access by transit. The money charged per player goes directly to the expense of the city permit for use of the pool.
Equipment: There's a large cache of used equipment available to anyone, especially beginners. Ideally any returning player should bring as much of their own equipment as possible. After a few games most players start purchasing their own equipment. Generally, if you have snorkeling gear, you should bring it. Don't forget your swimsuit and a towel!
To order gear, we have an affiliate membership (which means a certain % of purchases go towards club credit) with an excellent online retailer Equal Puck.

Before, access to these ranges was granted by using a shell script to perform the necessary FORWARD chain command to allow traffic coming from the br0 interface and exiting the WAN interface, since br0 was the only interface which would access these ranges. Code: iptables -I FORWARD 6 -i br0 -d $CIDR -o $WAN_IFACE -j ACCEPT However I have now implemented a caching proxy on the local gateway, and so I need to permit access to the IP ranges on the OUTPUT chain. Code: iptables -I OUTPUT 8 -d $CI (HowTos)

New pills can help cure hepatitis C
Scientists have revealed that new two-pills-only antiviral drug regimens could provide shorter, more effective treatment options with fewer side effects for the majority of patients infected with hepatitis C.
According to researchers, these drugs can place a substantial burden on the patient, with complicated injection and pill regimens, which can involve up to 18 tablets a day and last for up to a year, and can also cause severe side effects including anaemia and depression. Direct-acting antiviral agents (DAAs) provide new opportunities for treatment whilst reducing the need for interferon and ribavirin and their potential side effects.
The scientists randomly assigned 645 patients with HCV genotype 1b from 18 countries to receive a 6-month course of treatment with a pair of oral DAAs asunaprevir and daclatasvir [2]. A further 102 treatment-naive patients were assigned to a placebo control group.
The regimen was highly effective at clearing the virus and well tolerated even in patients who have traditionally been the hardest to treat. 90pc of previously untreated patients and 82pc who were intolerant of, or who had been treated unsuccessfully using standard regimens, were cured. No differences in response were seen in individuals who had characteristics such as being male, older, African American race, or having advanced liver diseaseâEuro"that are recognised as predictors of poor response to treatment.
Michael Manns from Hannover Medical School in Germany said that the efficacy and safety of 24 weeks of daclatasvir plus asunaprevir represents a huge improvement on the first generation of protease inhibitor based triple therapies for HCV genotype 1b infection (up to 48 weeks of boceprevir or telaprevir in combination with PEG/RBV). This new all-oral interferon and ribavirin-free combination could provide a more effective, safer, shorter, and simpler treatment option for those traditionally hard-to-cure patients with cirrhosis or those who have failed to respond to existing therapies.
The researchers saw a cure rate of about 93pc with only 12 weeks of treatment using an all-oral regimen that did not include interferon or ribavirin.
The study was published in Lancet.

There are many things that can be done to help manage OA pain. It is important to manage weight, exercise appropriately and get proper rest. There also are many treatment options to help reduce OA pain, including oral medications, and topical options.
"I frequently hear my osteoarthritis patients describe movement as grating or catching, and they report that daily activities, such as getting out of bed and climbing stairs, are painful. In fact, pain is a common symptom of osteoarthritis, and controlling it is a primary treatment goal," said Steven Lamm, M.D., clinical assistant professor of medicine at
Voltaren(R) Gel is a different type of osteoarthritis pain reliever that provides an effective amount of relief when applied at the site of pain. The amount of the active ingredient diclofenac sodium that is systemically absorbed from Voltaren(R) Gel is on average 6% of the systemic exposure from a comparable dose of an oral form of diclofenac sodium (four grams four times a day to one knee versus 50 milligrams three times a day orally).

At first we thought these controls were too minimal, but in practice they worked just fine. We quickly learned how to set destinations and scan the map. The points-of-interest database had the usual categories, such as restaurants and gas stations, but lacked retail store information. The system really stood out under route guidance, where it offered a good graphics of upcoming turns on the left side of the map, and good voice prompting. But most of the time we couldn't see it, because the screen pops up from the center of the dash, with no protection from glare. Unless we were driving at night or in a tunnel, the sun completely washed out the screen.
Low-end torque
The C70 looks pretty sharp, but it's not much of a car for sport driving. We were impressed by the engine, which delivers power and decent fuel economy. In fact, our review staff found that even moderate pressure on the gas pedal would chirp the front tires from a stop. This behavior is due to the 2.5-liter, turbocharged five-cylinder engine putting out its full 236 lb.-ft. of torque all the way from 1,500 to 4,800rpm. Horsepower goes up to 218 at 5,000rpm.
The five-speed automatic includes a manual mode but is a little behind the times by today's standards. A sixth gear would improve mileage for freeway driving. As in many Volvos, a W button near the shifter activates winter mode, which keeps the transmission in lower gears for longer amounts of time.
The steering wheel in the C70 feels great, nice and thick with very comfortable material around it that helps grip. But handling on the front-wheel drive C70 suffers from notable understeer. With the top down, we felt like it was going fast around corners, but a look at the speedometer showed we often weren't above the recommended speed for the turn.
The EPA rates the 2006 Volvo C70 with five-speed automatic at 20mpg in the city and 29mpg on the highway. We observed 24mpg in our test car in over 300 miles of mixed city and freeway driving, which is not bad. The car also gets a ULEV II rating on California's emissions standards, another very positive mark for this engine.
Volvo safety
The C70 includes an impressive number of airbags for a convertible coupe. The driver and front passenger get side and front airbags, while door-mounted side curtain airbags offer additional head protection. Also, because it's a convertible, it gets roll bars that pop up over the rear seats if a rollover is detected. The A-pillars are also strengthened to support the weight of the car in case of a rollover.
Of course, the car has a complement of systems to prevent accidents. Along with antilock brakes, it has electronic brakeforce distribution and emergency braking assistance, which adds braking power when it senses the driver putting hard and fast force to the brake pedal. The C70 also has traction and stability control. The C70 hasn't been rated by the NHTSA for crash protection. Volvo offers 48 months or 50,000 miles on its warranty.
Our test car, a 2006 Volvo C70, had a base price of $38,710. Its automatic transmission cost an additional $1,250, and it came with the Climate ($1,112), Premium ($1,395), navigation ($2,120), and Dynaudio ($1,550) packages. With the destination charge of $695, the total came to $46,832.
The C70 isn't much of a performance car, but it is a very comfortable cruiser. The top notch stereo adds significantly to the cruising experience in this car. The poor placement of the nav screen and the lack of trunk space with the top down hurts the everyday practicality of the C70. Even without the expensive options loaded up on our test car, the base price is on the high side. Still, the only cars we've seen with an audio system that compares are the Lexus IS 350 and the Lincoln Zephyr, but neither of these have retractable hardtops.

Jennifer and Gerard Kissing and Hugging on Dinner Date?

Jennifer Aniston and Gerard Butler have become chummy enough while shooting "The Bounty" that she doesn't mind if he uses her backside as a hand rest. But did the co-stars, who have repeatedly denied hookup rumors, take the touchy-feeliness to demonstrative new heights over dinner Wednesday night in Los Angeles?
So claims X17, which says the pair "snuck into" the Cliff's Edge restaurant around 9:30 p.m. and proceeded to nosh and nuzzle in a dimly lit part of the eatery.
"They appeared incredibly affectionate with one another. They were kissing, hugging and leaning in to talk to each other for over two hours!" alleges a spy. "They definitely looked like a couple."
Or did they? Another version of events has emerged, "Rashomon"-style, and this one has a lot less PDA and a lot more dinner guests.
Radar Online reports Jen, 40, and Gerard, 39, were joined by a quartet of friends at a table on an outdoor patio, where a big-eared bystander heard them talking about the paparazzi contingent lying in wait outside.
"They enjoyed a friendly dinner with each other," notes the restaurant's manager. "Jennifer is so lovely, and she and Gerard were not holding hands and I didn't think they were a couple, just friends having dinner together."
At the end of the night, the actress and the burly Scottish star exited separately, with the former hopping into an SUV with her bodyguard (another sign that this might not have been a hot date, because who wants a beefy minder tagging along?) and the latter zooming off in his Mercedes.
Aniston, who is currently out stumping for her forthcoming romcom, the unimaginatively titled "Love Happens," reportedly headed home, and, much to the disappointment of the shutterbugs, Butler didn't follow.
Jennifer's rep did not respond to our request for comment on the PDA whispers.
This latest outing comes several weeks after Jen and Gerard were supposedly spotted "hand-in-hand" while hanging out at a New York hot spot, a snuggly sighting her spokesman dismissed as fiction.
"Jennifer was out with many others from the film, and they were not holding hands," the mouthpiece told People magazine. "Gerry was one of many from the film there."
A few days before, a spy told Radar that the stars had been acting "lovey-dovey" on set, sharing a "little kiss" and making a surreptitious attempt to touch digits.
"We watched them at one point start to hold hands," maintained the eyewitness, "but she pulled back because she realized people were watching."
But Butler, who last year cheekily responded to rumors that he was dating Cameron Diaz by saying, "If I take my dog for a walk, apparently I'm [bleeping] my dog," insists that he'd be the first to spill if he was dating Aniston.
"If I was," the actor said last month, "I would say I was."

About the Flaneur
I walk through my blindness the way I wander down streets in Paris: unfettered and alive, alert to the raw material of the senses. I am a flaneur. Come along with me. Just don't try to take my arm, unless I ask. What's a flaneur? Read the first post, Return of the Flaneur to Galerie Vivienne. After that, try Foot Rage and the Blind Flaneur. Then stay tuned.
Letting Go of Sight
I've canoed on Lake Superior for almost as many years as I've been losing eyesight. I return year after year like a migrating loon to learn the other side of a slow, uncertain process that we could call "going blind." After 35 years with the lake as my teacher, I know what lies on the other side. I call it letting go of sight. Read Big Water. See more about the Great Lakes.

Disabled Americans today have to negotiate for the kinds of accommodations made for FDR, and the caveat "reasonable accommodation" is built into the law. President Franklin Roosevelt did not have to negotiate. He could summon vast resources of the federal government – money as well as brains – to accomplish the work of disability. And it was accomplished with such thoroughness and efficiency that its scale could be called the Accessibility-Industrial Complex had it been directed toward public accommodations and not solely the needs of a single man.

Shepard Fairey claimed that his posterization of a copyrighted AP news photo of Barack Obama was a transformative work protected by the fair use doctrine. In other words, it was a shape-shifter.

A few people have emailed and asked for more information about the Olympic Blog we've run. Phil asked – "what lessons did you learn about running a successful blog through the process." I thought it might make an interesting Blog Tip post.
1. Think Ahead – The whole Olympic Blog experiment emerged in my mind a number of months back when a smaller experiment paid off. Back in February I posted a post titled 'American Idol 3 Winner'. Now that might seem like a crazy post to do back in February when the winner would be announced in May – but the whole point was to post something in advance of the event to let Google index it and rank it highly so that when the day came it would be the first thing people would see when they searched for the term. The experiment paid off – to this day we're still number 1 on that post (which now has up to date relevant news of the winner) and more importantly on the day when one of the biggest search terms on the web was 'American Idol 3 Winner' we had 10s of thousands of visitors.
After this little experiment I began to wonder what other events I could anticipate. One of the looming world events was obviously the Olympics and so we resolved to expand the experiment.

From his earliest days in the newspaper business, his talent shone. No wonder he'd been tapped as chief editorial writer by the sainted Douglas Southall Freeman, the legendary biographer of General Lee, when Mr. Freeman retired as editor of the News Leader in 1949.
Editor Kilpatrick's dedication to his craft, his way with words and abiding interest in them, made him a natural editor. His strong sense of individual justice marked him as a man of conscience; at one point his editorials and personal appeals persuaded the governor of his state to pardon a black handyman who was serving a life sentence after being falsely convicted of killing a police officer. In tribute to that display of courage, a black newspaper would put him on its honor roll of leaders. But that was the year before Brown v. Board of Education was handed down; the newspaper would have reason to rethink its opinion of him later.
Kilpo's sense of humor, and general playfulness, came out when he created the Beadle Bumble Fund to defend innocents caught up in some lunacy of the law. It was named after the character in Dickens' "Oliver Twist" who famously exclaims, "If the law supposes that, the law is a ass -- a idiot."
The Bumble fund, as Kilpo would explain, was dedicated to "poking fun and spoofing the hell out of despots on the bench." And it served its purpose well, for there is no more potent weapon in the editorial writer's arsenal than ridicule, at least when delivered with wit and savor.
Language, Mr. Kilpatrick took seriously, but never solemnly. He regularly waged war on pretentious prose and the solemn asses who commit it. His "The Writer's Art," first published in 1984, came complete with a typically incisive foreword by the late great William F. Buckley Jr. His columns on language put other linguistic mavens in the shade, including William Safire, who called those columns classics of style. When he wasn't delving into law, language, politics, or country ways (he regularly took refuge in his cabin in Virginia's Blue Ridge mountains), Brother Kilpatrick was churning out a widely syndicated newspaper column.
This was no one-dimensional racist but a man in full, single flaw and all, even if that one flaw would determine his place in history forever. Ruthless judge, Clio, muse of history. She may judge each of us not on the basis of our, oh, so well-rounded character, but only on how we respond to the one great moral test of our time.
It was hard to believe that so well educated and multitalented a man as Jack Kilpatrick could be a seg, and not only a seg but also the intellectual leader of segdom in his ill-starred time. There wasn't a brand of legal, historical or anthropological buncombe he didn't buy wholesale and then retail in its service. It hurt to watch so intelligent a rhetorician selling so dubious a line of goods -- sincerely. That was the hell of it.
At one disgraceful point -- 1963, which was not a happy year for obedience to either law or conscience -- Editor Kilpatrick submitted an article and textbook specimen of negrophobia to the Saturday Evening Post that he proposed to call, "The Hell He is Equal." Its elevated thesis: that "the Negro race, as a race, is in fact an inferior race."
The article hit the desk of the Post's editor at the time, Thomas B. Congdon Jr., just after four little black girls had been killed in a church bombing in Birmingham. Mr. Congdon decided not to run it on the unimpeachable grounds that it was in "bad taste," not to say bad judgment, and inflammatory to boot. There may not have been giants in the earth in those days, but at least there were still editors. Which is how Kilpo was saved from the worst of his excesses.
Eventually, about a decade too late, even Mr. Kilpatrick caught on to himself, and decided he'd been wrong about race and racial integration after all. But he didn't do it with either the intellectual clarity or decisiveness William F. Buckley Jr. would show when he washed his hands for good of all those apologias for Southern racism his National Review had once carried.
Alas, Jack Kilpatrick had no blinding-light experience on the road to Damascus; he didn't so much renounce his earlier views as gradually distance his older, distinguished self from them. It was as if, having forgotten who he had once been, the rest of us were expected to forget, too. Just to be polite.
At one point Mr. Kilpatrick would look back and blame all those atrocious ideas he once trumpeted on having grown up as a white boy in Oklahoma City. As if the elaborate arguments he'd made so forcefully and prominently for so long in so bad a cause had been the result of an accident of birth, and he himself bore no real responsibility for them. His home town -- indeed, his own race -- deserved better of him than that. So did we all.
Despite his finally having drifted away from his earlier views, his role as racial segregation's great champion would always mark him, like J. William Fulbright's indelible signature on the Southern Manifesto. There is something about an intellectual's taking up a know-nothing cause that forever sticks in the mind, and craw. Which is why, on hearing of Jack Kilpatrick's death at 89, some of us could only sigh. And mourn.

Feeling shame about past instances of problem drinking may increase the likelihood of relapse and other health problems, according to a new study in Clinical Psychological Science, a journal of the Association for Psychological Science.
The study, conducted by researchers from the University of British Columbia, shows that behavioral displays of shame strongly predicted whether recovering alcoholics would relapse in the future.
Public shaming has long been viewed as a way to encourage people to amend their ways and research suggests that experiences of shame can motivate people to improve their self-image and contribute to a common good.
But it's not clear that improvement on a general level extends to specific behaviors. Researchers don't know whether experiencing shame about a DUI, for example, actually deters drinking and driving. In fact, some studies suggest that shame might do more harm than good, as it can motivate hiding, escape, and general avoidance of the problem.
Psychological scientists Jessica Tracy and Daniel Randles of the University of British Columbia wondered whether the distinction between shame and guilt might play an important role in determining future behavior.
People who feel shame may blame themselves for negative events and view their "bad" behavior as an unchangeable part of who they are. Thus, shame may actually be a risk factor for certain behaviors rather than a deterrent. But this doesn't seem to be the case for guilt.
"One reason that certain sobriety programs may be effective," the researchers say, "is because they encourage people to see their behaviors as something they should feel guilty, but not necessarily shameful, about."
Feeling guilt about previous behavior, as opposed to shame about being a "bad" person, may be an important component of recovery.

Tillis, Tucker and Douglas were also far bigger, stronger and harder-hitting than Tunney. And you overrate Tunney when you refer to him being some sort of sublime pugilistic "mechanic". I realize that this is the popular notion of him. But if you really study his career you realize that he wasn't. A tough and capable boxer, yes. But some untouchable heavyweight Willie Pep? Endowed with the mechanical genius of Archie Moore? Not even close.
Tunney was also bigger then Tyson. What's the point? You grossly overestimate Tysons abilities in speed, footwork, and boxing ability, assuming he had any real advantage in these departments, and rely only on Tysons advantage in brute strength while ignoring the one greatest flaw, his inability to deal with adversity. This is where you argument fails. Tyson demonstrated on any number of occasions that when the going got tough, he quit. His bout with Douglas and his bouts with Holyfield demonstrate this perfectly. Your boy had all the tools, except for one, he had little Heart.

CBNNews.com - According to the German daily Die Welt, U.S. President George W. Bush is optimistic that Israel will sign an agreement with the Palestinian Authority (PA) before his term in office ends.
"I hope that [PA] President Abbas and [Israeli] Prime Minister Ehud Olmert can sign an agreement before the end of my presidency [in January] that defines a clearly outlined Palestinian state," the article quoted the President.
"This could then immediately take shape when the conditions of the road map are fulfilled, but the first step must be the clear definition of a Palestinian state," he said adding that he hoped it were possible and had an "optimistic feeling it will happen."
Meanwhile, in her second visit in March, U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice returned to the region Saturday, holding press conferences after her meetings.
Upon arrival, she said, "I am not coming to insert American ideas into the process," while on Sunday, she told the press the US will be monitoring "progress."
"We will be verifying what it is they [the Israelis] are doing and this is all aimed at trying to improve the movement and access of the Palestinian people in the West Bank [Judea and Samaria]," Rice told reporters.
"General William Fraser will be following up on the specifics and will be making certain that in fact there are 50 [checkpoints] and that they are being removed and that in fact they have some impact on the access and movement," she said.
Asked if she was open to a formal cease-fire agreement with Gaza, she replied, "No."
Later Sunday, Rice flew to Amman to meet with Jordan's King Abdullah and Abbas, freshly arrived from an Arab summit in Damascus, where he told participants he's ready to reconcile with Hamas "immediately and unconditionally" and called for early legislative and presidential elections.
Rice returned to Jerusalem following her meetings in Jordan, where King Abdullah called on the US to be more involved in pushing the "peace process" forward and criticized Israel for its "unilateralism."

(SACRAMENTO, Calif.) A scientific survey of more than 9,700 gun retailers in the U.S. has found that gun buyers frequently try to make illegal purchases and that gun retailers take a dim view of fellow sellers who engage in illegal activity regardless of whether they are actively breaking the law or simply looking the other way.
The survey, conducted in 2011 by Garen Wintemute, professor of emergency medicine and director of the UC Davis Violence Prevention Research Program, is believed to be the first scientific study of a large group of gun retailers to determine their attitudes on illegal gun sales such as "straw" or surrogate purchases, and undocumented purchases and other criminal activity among buyers and retailers.
The research appears online March 11 in the journal Injury Prevention and is a follow up to initial results Wintemute published in September 2012 in the Journal of Urban Health on the characteristics of federally licensed firearms dealers, pawnbrokers and their establishments.
"There is a continuing debate on the commerce of firearms: which ones should be sold and who they should be sold to. But no one has ever gotten the opinions of the people doing the selling," Wintemute said. "We wanted to collect detailed information about firearm retailers and get their sense of how often illegal activity occurs and what should be done about the problem."
Wintemute surveyed 9,720 dealers, pawnbrokers and gunsmiths, selecting participants who sold 50 or more firearms each year. The survey asked retailers how often they thought customers were trying to make straw purchases, or buying a gun for someone who is ineligible to own one. The survey also asked how often customers tried to purchase a gun without filling out appropriate forms or receiving a background check. Participants also were asked how often they had refused to make a sale or alerted other retailers about an attempted illegal purchase.

ABBOTT PARK, Ill., March 24, 2007 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Data presented today from Abbott's SPIRIT III U.S. pivotal clinical trial at the of Cardiology's 56th Annual Scientific Session in New Orleans demonstrated the following key results:
-- The randomized SPIRIT III trial of 1,002 patients comparing Abbott's next-generation XIENCE(TM) V Everolimus Eluting Coronary Stent System with the TAXUS(R) paclitaxel-eluting coronary stent system met both its primary endpoint and major secondary endpoint. -- In its primary endpoint of in-segment late loss at eight months, XIENCE V demonstrated superiority to TAXUS with a statistically significant 50 percent reduction in late loss compared to TAXUS (0.14 +/- 0.41 mm XIENCE V, 0.28 +/- 0.48 mm TAXUS, p superior =0.004). In-segment late loss is a measure of vessel renarrowing. -- In its major secondary endpoint of Target Vessel Failure at nine months, XIENCE V demonstrated non-inferiority to TAXUS with an observed 21 percent reduction in Target Vessel Failure for XIENCE V compared to TAXUS (7.2 percent XIENCE V, 9.0 percent TAXUS, p non- inferior <0.0001). Target Vessel Failure is a measure of re-treatment anywhere within the target vessel and includes cardiac death or heart attack. -- Subsequent to SPIRIT III meeting its primary and major secondary endpoints, an analysis of nine-month Major Adverse Cardiac Events (MACE), such as cardiac death, heart attack or target lesion revascularization (artery re-treatment due to lack of blood supply), was undertaken in which XIENCE V demonstrated superiority to TAXUS

Preparations are almost complete for two of Acadiana's most terrifying Halloween attractions, both of which open Friday.
The frightening events at Museum of Fear, now in its fourth year at the Lafayette Science Museum, begin the moment the elevator doors open onto the museum's third floor, which has been transformed into a 10,000-foot torture chamber full of sights, smells, sounds and sensations that can yank a screech out of even the bravest patrons.
"It's gory," said Kevin Krantz, the museum's director. "Oh my God, it's gory." ...
