2008 Detroit Autorama - Dazzled In DetroitWritten by on June 17, 2008 Cold Outside But Hot On The Inside
If you're building a show car and want to compete against the best there is, there's really no better place than the Detroit Autorama to bring it and see how you measure up.
The Ridler award has become one of the most coveted awards in the hot rod and custom car world. The unique thing about the Ridler is that it can be awarded to just about anything- the winner doesn't have to be a roadster, a custom, a hot rod, or anything else (one stipulation is that the car does have to be debuted at the Autorama).
This fact makes the field of hopefuls very diverse and exciting. Once the group is narrowed down to the Great 8, sponsored by Pirelli Tire this year, it's everyone for themselves as the judges go around and try to find the most minute detail that makes one better than the others.
The Autorama isn't all about show cars that will never see road time. Cobo Hall is filled with just about every kind of vehicle you can think of, and the basement where the Autorama Extreme has taken place the last couple of years is filled with plenty of rough-and-ready traditional hot rods.
I could go on and on about the virtues of this indoor car show, but instead I'll let the photos show what it's all about.
R&C Top Tin Pick
I had a tough time narrowing it down when it came time for me to pick a car out of the crowd for the Rod & Custom Award, but I knew I had a winner once I got the full story on Charlie Gould's '26 T roadster pickup.
Charlie started gathering parts for his hot rod in the early 1990s, collecting the little Chevy four-banger, trans, and front suspension, but hadn't decided on the body style until he bought a '26 roadster pickup body in mid-1999. He ran across a photo of a track-style rpu in an old magazine and immediately dug out every magazine with a track roadster in his 50-year collection, finally settling on that style with a 109-inch wheelbase.
Charlie built the frame from C-channel, bent to his specs by a local sheetmetal shop. The engine was beefed up with 10:1 forged pistons, a Sig Erson cam, and a modified Weber intake from Clifford Research. An S-10 pickup gave up its rearend, which ended up with GM disc brakes, thanks to some careful swap meet searching.
The clutch and brake pedals swing from a sideways hanging Kugel unit. Charlie moved the clutch fork to the passenger side to free up some room in the driver-side footwell. A steel '32-style dash designed for a Model A was narrowed and filled with Classic Instruments gauges. The seat bottoms are late-model Camaro buckets sitting in custom tin buckets. Charlie built the pickup bed 2 inches taller than an original and somewhat shorter in length. The nose and insert started as a Superior Glass unit but was narrowed about 1 1/2 inches. The hood, hood sides, bellypans, and most of the flooring are custom-built from aluminum. Charlie wanted lots of louvers, so he ponied up and bought a louver press and punched the louvers himself. He says it was well-worth the purchase price. The wheels are 15x5s and 15x7s with '40 'caps and Coker 5.00s and 8.20s. The headlights are '35-37 commercial units and the taillights are '50s F-100s.
For a little piece of mind, Charlie borrowed a tubing bender from a pal and built the bolt-in rollbar to fit. Charlie told us, "This car is crotch high at the cowl and bellybutton high at the windshield, and could easily be stuffed under a semi trailer. Whether it would hold up or not is moot. I just feel better about it."

Here's the big winner, and one of the cars I wanted to take home right from the start. When the judges finished counting points, Mike Warn and builder Tim Divers, from Divers Street Rods Inc. in Washington, rolled away with the coveted Ridler award. The wild '60 Rambler has a late-model Ferrari V-12 sitting behind the driver-something that didn't make very many Ferrari purist happy, as Tim found out when he went to the Ferrari dealer to buy some parts. Fitted luggage under the hood and lots of custom body and chassis work made the little wagon a deserving winner.The Autorama Extreme exhibit in the Cobo Hall basement once again provided spectators and participants a whole different vibe than the one upstairs. The talk of downstairs was Aaron Grote's latest custom creation. Aaron started with pieces of a '59 Plymouth and wound up with a bubbletop that would make Big Daddy Roth proud. We'll be hooking up with Aaron in the future to bring you a closer look at this incredible machine.One of the coolest things at the Autorama was found in the basement. The "Finkosel" is a custombuilt carousel built by Chuck Kaparich with some help from John Detrich as a tribute to the creations of Ed "Big Daddy" Roth.Harry Willett took influences from vintage sports cars with the build of his '32 Ford highboy roadster. Making sure the roadster has the bite to meet the bark, he stuffed a 600hp Viper V-10 and a six-speed under the custom hood. Harry was rewarded with a Great 8 pick for his efforts.I'm a sucker for mild customs, and Rich and Malana Cordova's '60 Cad is deserving of praise on its own, but it was all the better when I learned they drove it out to Detroit from Colorado.This sweet little 3-inch-channeled and 2-inch-chopped A-bone pickup was brought to Detroit by its builder, Jason Grimes of The Garage Inc. There's a 350/350 combo under the hood and a Super Bell I-beam and Speedway hairpins hanging out in front. The custom louvered rear roll pan and side panels finish off the fenderless bed perfectly.
Making a reappearance after years out of the public eye, Dan Woods' Ice Truck has recently been restored by Dave Shuten and serves as a vivid reminder of the over-the-top show rods of the early 1970s. We're hoping to hook up with Dave soon and bring you the whole history of this wild ride.Another traditional Model A that stopped me in my tracks was this low Tudor with an unusual rear-mounted spare. Dustin Corl brought the 6-inch-chopped and 4-inch-channeled '31 sedan to the show as a tribute to his friend, Sean Vesely, who had just finished the sedan about a month before the show and then passed away unexpectedly a few days later. The frame has been Z'd 4 inches in the front and 9 in the rear, and holds a detailed 59AB Flathead backed by a '39 'box.This '32 roadster may look like it's a well-preserved early hot rod, but it's a Brookville body assembled with a careful collection of vintage parts. A '57 392 Hemi backed with a Muncie four-speed and '54 Olds 'caps wrapped in bias-plies add to the nostalgia theme.If you've been reading R&C for a few years, you might recognize Denise Sheldon's '47 Olds convertible from our last Ego-Rama event. Since then, she has just about completed the old ragtop, with the latest job being a new interior by Fat Lucky's in Austin, TX. The big Olds looked plenty presentable all cleaned up.Pete Kroeker recently finished this '60 Chevy, which sits on an '86 Caprice chassis. Some of the body mods include shortening the body 3 inches, widening the hood by molding it with the tops of the fenders, and widening the decklid by molding it with the tops of the quarters. One-piece bumpers are tucked close to the body with custom roll pans. To ensure it was an instant classic from the start, Pete brought Gene Winfield up to Canada and had him lay down one of his signature blends, in this case fading from white to gold to copper to brown. The interior features '66 Riviera buckets and console with a custom rear package tray built from a '59 Chevy dash.Gene Winfield was honored as the Builder of the Year, and there were several of his builds there, as well as cars inspired by him, in a large area of the show floor. Larry Grobe brought out his tribute to Gene's Voodoo Idol. The top of the '46 Ford coupe has been chopped 5 inches in front and 7 1/2 inches in back and shorten 8 inches in the rear and the B-pillars slanted. The body was channeled 4 inches, sectioned 3 inches, and widened 4 inches. The rear quarters were lengthened 12 inches.The Great 8 was dominated with wagons this year, and Gordon Peters' '56 Chevy, built by Neil Lea and his crew at Rods & Restos in Centre, AL, deserved its place in the elite group. They started with a bare-bones Handyman wagon, and, after massaging every panel with 112 body mods and 1,340 handmade parts, they ended with a Nomad-esque custom wagon with a C5 LS1 and transaxle for motivation.On the opposite end of the early '70s hot rodding spectrum to the Ice Truck was R&C's own Bud Bryan's Model A roadster, built using parts that were considered traditional, even at that time. Bud's roadster left quite an impression on Garnet Rhame, who has built this beautiful tribute using just about as many vintage parts. A quick look at the undercarriage, though, shows it hasn't made any of the cross-country trips Bud did-at least not yet, let's hope.
Packard convertibles are pretty rare, a street-rodded one even more so. It looks like Ed and Kathy Micol built this one with cruising in mind. Power comes from a Chevy ZZ4 small-block backed by a 700-R4 overdrive and 9-inch Ford rear. A Fatman Fabrications front subframe gets the front end down and provides power steering and brakes.One of the main events at the Autorama has become the Pinstriper's Jamboree, organized by "Yosemite Sam" Radoff. A couple hundred pinstripers come through at various times during the show and apply their craft to just about anything you can think of. Line-puller extraordinaire Fritz added some 'stripes to a 15-gallon drum, which was auctioned off later in the day. All the money raised (every dime) goes to Rescue One Fire Safety for Kids.Howard Kelly's '32 roadster, Bill Towers' '29 Model A coupe, and Bob Perreault's '28 phone-booth pickup were a few of the more traditional rods downstairs that caught my eye.These days, it seems to be anything goes when it comes time to select a grille to lead the way on a hot rod. Todd and Gary Buehler chose a '47 Dodge pickup grille for their '31 Model A Tudor-turned-tub.

Many species of monkeys are known for their shit flinging capabilities. Bitches can be anyone of offensive nature. Therefore the bitchmonkey is someone who throws their shit at you just to make you miserable. In the instance of the bitchmonkey the shit is metaphorical for problems, psychological issues, or in rare occasions, actual shit.

Motorola XOOM 32GB Verizon 3G Android Tablet for $199.99 + free shipping
Look at codition and possible missing items. Cowboom gives free shipping returns for 30-days
13 Comments add a comment
From experience, some will be upgraded to 4G. You just will not know till you get it.
Well dang, and I just missed the Woot-Off with the Zoom dock. Ah well. I really want to play with one some before I commit to it.
My bro has one with a dock and a keyboard and he said he is running JB 4.1 on it currently, it is not running as smooth as the latest ICS version 4.0.4. The Browser in JB 4.1 is much much faster, but ICS is more stable in general. BUT expect a JB 4.1 patch...so this is a cheap way to get into the latest google software....imho. Also the XOOM is beeeeefy
Is it required to sign up for a contract? or do can i use it for wifi only?
@unheardfury: It is a perfectly good WiFi only device. It can also be 3G month to month if you like. No contract EVER needed either way.
I can second the wifi only thing, I never set up a contract, although I ended up paying full price on the opening instead of subsidized, and you still get updates normally over the wifi. Currently mine is running ICS, which also makes it compatable with my TimeWarner TV app, making it a moble tv
JELLY BEAN 4.1 is great imho
OK, I am confused.... it says Android 3.0 Honeycomb....so why is everyone talking about 4.0 Jellybean? And, this is a used unit? Not even refurb, used.... and 3G requires contract, so why mention 4G without?????
Am I looking at the same thing as everyone else, or did I dose off..... ???
@wesdapilot: They ship with Honeycomb. The OTA update is ready as soon as you turn it on. Some were sent to Verizon for the 4G upgrade...they just advertise 3G because some are not upgraded. The one I received was. If you activate the 3G or the 4G you need to pay for it but you do NOT need a contract. You can go month to month. You also can use it as a WiFi only tablet without activating anything. This is what everyone is saying.
Pass. It STARTS at $199.
- May show limited signs of use
- May be missing parts or accessories
- May have dents or scratches
Be aware these devices are Pre-Owned not Refurbished. If you decide to get one, you are truly risking on getting what you pay for.
Hi there, I got a question. What's the difference between the motorola xoom black model and the gray model? (some xoom's are complete black on the back and some others are half black and half gray)... any ideas?
>Hi there, I got a question. What's the difference between the motorola xoom black model >and the gray model? (some xoom's are complete black on the back and some others >are half black and half gray)... any ideas?
My understanding is that the all black back is on the 3G models and the black/grey is on the Wi-Fi only models. I have the Wi-Fi only model and it is black/grey on the back. Any other owners can verify?
BTW - I LOVE the Xoom (but I have nothing to compare it to since it's my first tablet)

Former and latter are valid only when there are two choices.
If I have a list of more than two items, is there an elegant way to say the first one or the last one?
Former and latter are valid only when there are two choices.
If I have a list of more than two items, is there an elegant way to say the first one or the last one?
You can say first and last (without one).
Interesting question. First and last will do, but suppose you wanted to refer to the middle option, or the fourth option?
Consider for example a scenario where a party of adventurers must choose from a list of options;
Now if I were in this party considering these options, I might suggest we take the second option, but it is far more likely that I say something like we need our hats, implying that we should take the second option where we also go back to base.
In other words, with more than two options, the most elegant way is to refer to the unique attributes of the option. In fact, with just two options I still think this is more elegant than former and latter since it relieves the reader of the burden of remembering which is which.
I don't think there's anything inelegant about first or last. You can always use ultimate, penultimate, and antepenultimate if you want to be certain no one understands you.
'latter' is NOT only valid when there are two items! According to Merriam-Webster dictionary, the 2nd meaning of 'latter':
This also puzzled me, a non-native speaker in the beginning.
There are other words you can use in place of "first" and "last" - for example, "foremost" and "lattermost" - but whether that is more elegant, or just more pretentious, could be debatable.
It has to be 'first' and 'last', as they are simply the superlatives of which 'former' and 'latter' are the comparatives.

No. 17 - Tenant Control Of Public Housing: New Hope For Cabrini-Green
Chicago's Cabrini-Green is "probably the most notorious public housing project in the nation." The racial riots of the 1960s triggered Cabrini-Green's notoriety; in 1970, two Chicago policemen were killed by a Cabrini-Green sniper; and in 1981, then-Mayor Jane Byrne's move into a fourth floor Cabrini-Green apartment-- her response to a series of gang shootings-- made network news.

Consider $n$ distinct points $x_1,\dots,x_n$ on $\mathbb{R}$. Associated to these points is the multiset of all distances $d(x_i,x_j)$ between two points. Suppose one is only handed this multiset (you do not know the corresponding indices). Does this allow one to uniquely recover the original points up to reflection and translation?
This is a really nice question!
Counterexample for $n=6$
The sets $$\{0,1,4,5,11,13\}\\\{0,1,2,6,10,13\}$$ are affinely inequivalent, but the multiset of differences is in both cases $$1^2\cdot 2\cdot 3\cdot 4^2 \cdot 5 \cdot 6\cdot 7 \cdot 8\cdot 9\cdot 10\cdot 11\cdot 12\cdot 13.$$
Counterexamples for $n \geq 7$ According to Lemma 2.1 in the first linked article in the answer of Steve Kass, for all $n\geq 6$, a counterexample is given by $$X\cup \{n+1,n+3\}\quad\text{and}\quad X\cup\{2,n+1\}$$ where $X = \{5,6,7,\ldots,n-1,n-2\} \cup \{0,1,n,n+5\}$.
Uniqueness for $n\leq 5$
For $n\in\{1,2\}$, the uniqueness is clear.
Let $X = \{x_1,x_2,\ldots,x_n\}$ be a point set. We assume $x_1\leq x_2\leq\ldots \leq x_n$. Up to affine equivalence, we may assume $x_1 = 0$. We denote the distance of two points $x,y$ by $\delta(x,y) = \left|x-y\right|$ and furthermore define the abbreviation $\delta_{i,j} = \delta(x_i,x_j)$. In the multiset of distances, let $a \geq b\geq c\geq d$ be the largest elements. It is clear that $a = \delta_{1,n}$ and thus $x_n = a$. Up to affine equivalence, we may assume $b = \delta_{n-1,n}$ (the other possibility is $\delta_{1,2}$), so $x_{n-1} = b$. This shows the uniqueness for $n = 3$.
For $n=4$, $\{\delta_{1,2},\delta_{2,n}\} = \{c,x_4-c\}$. This distinquishes the last remaining distance $\delta_{2,3}$, which in turn fixes $x_2$.
It remains to consider the case $n=5$.
First we see that if one further point $x\in\{x_2,x_3\}$ is fixed, the set $X$ is completely determined: Let $y$ be the missing point. Among the four remaining distances $\delta(x_1,y)$, $\delta(x,y)$, $\delta(y,x_4)$, $\delta(y,x_5)$, the maximum $d_m$ is contained in the set $\{\delta(x_1,y),\delta(x_5,y)\} = \{d_m, x_5-d_m\}$. So we also know the set $\{\delta(x,y),\delta(y,x_4)\}$. Because of $x,y\in(x_0,x_4)$, $\delta(y,x_4)$ is the larger of those two distances, which fixes the point $y$.
By the choice of $c$, we have $c = \delta_{1,3}$ (Case A) or $c = \delta_{2,n}$ (Case B). If the multiset of distances admits only one of those two cases, then by the above reasoning, $X$ is uniquely determined. So we have to see that if both cases are possible, then the point sets are necessarily identical.
Case A) If $c = \delta_{1,3}$, then $x_3 = c$, and $d\in\{\delta_{1,2},\delta_{2,5}\}$.
Case A1) $d = \delta_{1,2}$. Now $X = \{0,d,c,b,a\}$, and the $10$ distances are $$\delta_{1,2} = d,\quad \delta_{1,3} = c,\quad \delta_{1,4}= b,\quad \delta_{1,5} = a,\\ \delta_{2,3} = c-d,\quad \delta_{2,4} = b-d,\quad \delta_{2,5} = a-d,\\ \delta_{3,4} = b-c,\quad \delta_{3,5} = a-c, \\\delta_{4,5} = a-b$$
Case A2) $d = \delta_{2,5}$. Now $X = \{0,a-d,c,b,a\}$, and the $10$ distances are $$\delta_{1,2} = a-d,\quad \delta_{1,3} = c,\quad \delta_{1,4}= b,\quad \delta_{1,5} = a,\\ \delta_{2,3} = -a+c+d,\quad \delta_{2,4} = -a+b+d,\quad \delta_{2,5} = d,\\ \delta_{3,4} = b-c,\quad \delta_{3,5} = a-c, \\\delta_{4,5} = a-b$$
Case B) If $c = \delta_{2,5}$, then $x_2 = a-c$, and $d\in\{\delta_{1,3},\delta_{3,5},\delta_{2,4}\}$.
Case B1) $d = \delta_{1,3}$. Now $X = \{0,a-c,d,b,a\}$, and the $10$ distances are $$\delta_{1,2} = a-c,\quad \delta_{1,3} = d,\quad \delta_{1,4}= b,\quad \delta_{1,5} = a,\\ \delta_{2,3} = -a+c+d,\quad \delta_{2,4} = -a+b+c,\quad \delta_{2,5} = c,\\ \delta_{3,4} = b-d,\quad \delta_{3,5} = a-d, \\\delta_{4,5} = a-b.$$
By the above consideration, B1) and A1) cannot appear both (since they have $4$ points in common).
Assume that both B1) and A2) are possible. Then by comparing the distances, the two sets $\{-a+b+d, b-c\}$ and $\{-a+b+c, b-d\}$ must be the same. In both possibilities to match the elements, we end up with $c = d$, which shows that the point set is the same in both cases.
Case B2) $d = \delta_{3,5}$. Now $X = \{0,a-c,a-d,b,a\}$, and the $10$ distances are $$\delta_{1,2} = a-c,\quad \delta_{1,3} = a-d,\quad \delta_{1,4}= b,\quad \delta_{1,5} = a,\\ \delta_{2,3} = c-d,\quad \delta_{2,4} = -a+b+c,\quad \delta_{2,5} = c,\\ \delta_{3,4} = -a+b+d,\quad \delta_{3,5} = d, \\\delta_{4,5} = a-b.$$ We go on similarly as in B1).
Case B3) $d = \delta_{2,4}$. Here necessarily $a+d = b+c$, and the point $x_3$ is not yet fixed. The point set is $X = \{0,a-c,x_3,b,a\}$. We go on similarly as in B1), B2) to see that if B3) occurs together with A1) or A2), then $X$ is uniquely determined.
EDIT: The uniqueness for $n\leq 5$ is also stated in Lemma 2.1. in the first linked article of Steve Kass. However, the proof doesn't give to many details, and I do not understand the part "since $a + b = c$, if $a + c = 1$ then $b$ uniquely determines $T$.".
This problem is called the "turnpike problem" or the "partial digest problem." Sets like the two @azimut gave are called "homometric" or "homeometric," and there can be many for a given set of distances (but the number of them is always a power of two). Here are a couple of references:

I have constructed an elaborate 500+ character command with many arguments and switches to autosign multiple PDF documents.
I'm using JSignPDF and I'd like to use it's batch mode including the current directory and subdirectories.
The relevant part of the command I'm having trouble with is:
java -jar ../jsignpdf-1.4.3/JSignPdf.jar *.pdf -a
...which of course works great for all PDF files in the current directory. How can I make it so it picks up all .pdf files in all the subdirectories as well?
I've tried a few things which haven't worked... novice and not even worth mentioning...things like -r (obviously would-/did-n't work).
I'm wondering if this is a simple answer or in need of some awk magic, if that would even be valid. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Your kitchen is gorgeous and that stove is wonderful. Can't believe what a deal you got on it. Is that green cabinet beside the fridge built in or a separate piece?ReplyDelete
Hi Pam,ReplyDelete
It's a built in. Husband is a custom cabinet maker...which makes most of this possible!
I design a piece, he will make it.

Suppose I have a random walk $X_{n+1} = X_n+A_n$ where $A_n$ is an iid sequence, $\mathsf EA_n = A>0$. How to construct a martingale measure for this case?
Similar to the answer aleady given. We can use a measure $Q$ such that $E_Q[A_n] = 0$. Let's reformulate the sequence as $X_0 =x$ and $X_{n+1} = X_n + A_{n+1}$.
First, beause expectation is linear: $$ E_Q[X_{n+1}|F_n] = E_Q[X_n|F_n] + E_Q[A_{n+1}|F_n]. $$ Now assume that $\{F_n\}_{n=0}^\infty$ is the filtration that represents the information of $(X_n)_{n=0}^\infty$ (the sigma-algebra generated) with all the null-sets and the technical assumptions then $$ E_Q[X_n|F_n] = X_n $$ and $E_Q[A_{n+1}|F_n] = E_Q[A_{n+1}] = 0$ by independence and because $ E_Q[A_{n+1}] = 0$. If we choose $Q$ such that it is equivalent to $P$ this should be the solution.
I hope I don't miss simething important here. If $A_n \sim N(1,1)$ under $P$ then $Q$ could be $N(0,a)$ with $a>0$ which is equivalent and has the correct expectation. You can even calculate the change of measure. If I am correct then it turns out that Q is not (!) unique. I am curious about following discussions.
Edit: Albeit of BFin or entry MFE type, sounds like homework.Answer: In many ways, for example take the countable product of (.-E[A])*(lawofA). More generally if g(x,y) is a function such that E[g(A,E[A])]=0 then g(.,E[A])*lawofA will do. Of course it doesn't have to be equivalent, like if A is deterministic.

COMMENTARY – When I set out to write about the Justina Pelletier case, I thought I'd be saying things like, "reading between the lines, the parents appear quite sinister." But that's not the story – at least not yet. Despite scratching every surface I could think of, I'm left largely mystified. So rather than write about what I think is going on, I've decided to pose questions that, if answered, would help all of us better understand how a seemingly healthy child went to Boston's Children's Hospital for the flu, and never went home because Children's admitted her to a locked psychiatric unit.Like most parents in Massachusetts, I can't assume that sadistic doctors needlessly ripped a child from the arms of her loving parents. Nor can I believe that a highly respected doctor from Tufts, who disagrees with Children's, is an idiot who saw mitochondrial disease where he should have seen abuse. This story will not be resolved by people lining up against, or in favor of, Children's vs. Tufts.It can be resolved, however, by fuller disclosure of information. For example:1. Why didn't the parents take action a year ago when Justina was first admitted to a psychiatric ward at Children's? I can see waiting a few days or even weeks for everybody involved to have a chance to read about and understand mitochondrial disease, but a year?2. What's attorney Barry Pollock's role in all of this? The well-known former federal prosecutor says he's handled lots of "these cases," and that the parents' rights are being violated. Maybe so, but what does he mean by "these cases"? He describes himself as a criminal defense attorney who specializes in representing people charged with or under investigation for criminal activity. Is he representing Justina's parents? If so, why? They say they've been falsely accused of "medical child abuse" so nobody would blame them if they hired a criminal defense lawyer, but not revealing that they've hired a criminal attorney would be very suspicious. Someone should ask and they should answer.3. Why are religious groups injecting themselves into the court case? Some religious families shun medical care in favor of faith-based healing, and that's fine so long as it doesn't cause serious harm to a child. But Justina's family didn't have a history of shunning or seeking medical care based on religion.4. Why on Earth is the ACLU threatening legal action against the judge's gag order? If they're correct that the gag order is unconstitutional, they should help the parents file an appeal. Blabbing on and on about freedom of speech gets the parents nowhere and makes the ACLU's involvement seem strategic.Page 2 of 2 - 5. Most parents would gladly violate a gag order to protect their child, even if it meant going to jail for contempt. But the Pelletiers violated the gag order only to release carefully selected information. If there is another side to the story, we aren't hearing it because everyone else in the case is obeying the gag order and respecting confidentiality laws.It's hard to believe this story at face value, but if the Pelletiers are telling the truth, we're all at risk of losing our children to a nutty doctor with a hunch. And if they aren't telling the truth, Children's is foolish for not leaking information because they're going to start losing patients and profits. The fact that Children's has leaked nothing thus far suggests there's no there there, and the parents are telling the truth.At this point, Justina's parents are the only ones who can help the public gain a better understanding of the truth, and the public won't support the family for long if they release only certain information. It's tempting to believe the parents when they say Children's Hospital effectively stole their daughter, but even without knowing more it's obvious that a whole team of people not associated with Children's, including a judge, determined Justina needed protection from her parents.If the Pelletiers want their daughter back, they have to explain why a judge – not Children's – got it wrong, which isn't possible unless they release all the documents, including the so-called "51A and B" child abuse reports. If they refuse, it doesn't mean Justina was abused, but it does mean they may have something to hide.Wendy Murphy is adjunct professor of law at New England Law|Boston and a well-known television legal analyst. A former prosecutor, Murphy specializes in the representation of crime victims in civil and criminal litigation.

Now in the spacious Athletic Medicine Center within the Tom and Nancy Osborne Athletic Complex, the care provided to Nebraska student-athletes continues to rank among the best in the country.
Perhaps the finest collegiate athletic medicine facility in the nation, the new Athletic Medicine Center is four times the size of its previous home inside the South end of Memorial Stadium.
The Athletic Medicine Center now features a hydrotherapy area that includes a three-level laned pool, which allows student-athletes across all of Nebraska's sports to work out simultaneously. The Hydroworx 1000 Treadmill Pool is equipped with two cameras underwater for evaluation and assessment, while hot and cold plunge tanks are also available to the Huskers.The state-of-the-art hydrotherapy areas allow the Huskers to engage in rehabilitation and conditioning programs under the direct supervision of Nebraska's medical and training staff.
In addition to impressive hydrotherapy areas, the Athletic Medicine Center welcomes a new X-ray room complete with hospital-grade equipment. The Center also provides private areas for physical exams, an emergency medical procedures room, a licensed pharmacy, rooms designated for drug testing, braces and rehabilitation supplies and dental appliances.
The new Athletic Medicine Center, paired with one of the most knowledgable and experienced medical and training staffs in the country, make Nebraska the leader in personal care in college athletics.
Lonnie Albers, M.D. serves as the Director of Athletic Medicine. Dr. Albers sees student-athletes with acute illnesses in the medical clinic located in the Athletic Medicine Center in the Osborne Athletic Complex. As a Family Practice physician with attending physician privileges in all three community hospitals in Lincoln, and with experience in coordinating referrals with specialists in all areas of medicine, he is able to respond to the wide variety of medical problems encountered in sports medicine.
Of vital importance to the success of any team is the protection of the athlete from injury, and the rapid return of the injured athlete to full speed. Head Athletic Trainer Jerry Weber has been serving Husker student-athletes and perfecting his skills as a dual certified Physical Therapist and Athletic Trainer for more than 30 years.
Weber draws assistance in his efforts from team of veteran certified athletic trainers in Mark Mayer, Brandon Armstrong, Brad Brown, Tom Dufresne, Jolene Emricson, Drew Hamblin, Marcia Kennedy, Lisa Loewenstein, R.J. Pietig, Jeff Rudy, Julie Tuttle and Tyler Weeda.
An important goal of the Athletic Medicine program is to assist student-athletes in overcoming obstacles to their success in sports and in the classroom.

I'm 18 years old and want to start taking pictures of my day-to-day life. I am aspiring to become a photographer for people and events, etc. I am keen to buy my first camera which is cheap, easy to understand and that can produce great quality and crisp images. Since I'm new to this I'm not quite sure what to look for. Any ideas?
What is a good cheap camera for new photographer who wants to take pictures of people at gigs, shows etc. Also street art, views?
Big subject. This and any other answer can only be an introduction.
You MUST define "cheap" as you see it.
Your lens will have an extremely major effect on the result. See below. A P&S can meet your spec but you really want a DSLR.
In high light situations some quite basic P&S cameras can work very well.
Do not be mislead by megapixel madness. More is usually better all else being equal, BUT all else is seldom equal and higher mp is often at expense of final quality.
You do not want a camera that is easy to understand - you just want a capable camera with a "bunny mode" that you can use until you get used to it. ALL well made cameras are easy to understand after a while - you just need a friendly learning mode.
Lenses that you will require depend on desired style etc. A mid range zoom is a desirable start. A 50mm or 35mm f/1.8 or better prime will be your great friend in due course but is not necessary initially - but if a good & cheap one wanders past, you want it.
Great quality is in very large part dependent on the part of the overall photo taking system that holds & owns the camera (ie = you, in case that wasn't clear :-) ).
To see what the specs of both new cameras and old lower mp models are like in practice look at a quality review site and pore over both samples and tests. I recommend the superb DPReview site , but there are many others.
As an example - DPReview provide
Depending on budget, I'd start by looking at:
If "as cheap as possible" is the aim, reviews etc for 6mp range DSLR's which are available at good prices second hand.
If somewhat more money is available, one of the entry level cameras that has good reviews in the areas that interest you. Note that the DPReview tests and those of all good sites provide sample images taken under a range of conditions. Look especially at the ones that reflect you areas of interest. In my case, I am biased towards cameras that both
ie gigs and shows, & street at night, motocross, surfing, athletics ... . The two apparently different requirements converge because you need low noise at high ISO for low light photos and you need the ability to use high ISO for action shots so your shutter speeds can be fast. Others are biased towards great dynamic range or awesome colour rendition or ... . .Everything matters, but wht matters most to you needs optimising when you make decisions.
Added from a comment elsewhere:
@weberc2 mentions Nikon & Canon 50mm f/1.8 lenses.
Sony make a similar 50mm f/1.8 lens.
This is only intended to supplement the previous answers, but I've had a great learning experience with a cheap, used, 2004 Canon 20D--it doesn't have all the bells and whistles of newer models, which helped me to learn the basic dynamics of photography. Also, Canon and Nikon both have $100(US) 50mm 1.8f lenses that work great in low light, and they don't zoom so you learn to shoot with a prime lens. They're not great quality, but the value can't be beaten. A setup like this (and perhaps some sort of 18mm-200mm zoom lens to practice other types of shots) should get you well on your way to learning.
Also, before I bought a camera, I spent a lot of time looking at photos I liked, studying why I liked them, and searching the Internet for how to produce those effects with a camera. In doing so, I came to learn a lot about the various technical photographic properties and their impact on photos. This helped me pick components that worked well for the styles I wanted to learn.
I think we all want a camera like that.
Your first decision is whether you want a DSLR, or a pocket sized camera.
If you want DSLR, you can't go far wrong with a Canon EOS or a Nikon. The EOS1100D is the entry level and is around the same price as a pocket-sized point-and-shoot. It is a bit basic and plasticky, but works well enough and lets you change lenses. The Nikon D3100 is very similar.
For a pocket camera, I have a Canon PowerShot as my 'spare' and have no real complaints about it, other than the standard ones that apply to all that style of camera: poor low light performance, slow reactions, noisy output, etc. As long as you stick to known names you can't really go far wrong in that class.
There are also some oddities. The Nikon Coolpix range that are the size of a DSLR but have no interchangeable lenses, or the Sony NEX that have a decent size sensor and interchangeable lenses but are not SLR.
Whether you view these as the best of both worlds, or as neither one thing nor the other, is really a matter of opinion. Myself... I would say that for the price of a Sony NEX, you can buy a Canon EOS 600D which is a far better camera.
If you want to be a pro photographer you need a DSLR and you need to learn how to use it, if you are planning to be a serious hobbyist you can make do with a point and shoot but you still need to learn the technical side of photography (and I still suggest a DSLR).
The good news is that those cameras with their million little buttons, knobs and dials are actually very easy to understand and use after you learn the basics (and they always have an auto mode you can use until you learn) also the most basic DSLR with the kit lens will give you better image quality than almost any point and shoot.
The biggest downsides of DSLRs is that they don't fit in your pocket and that all the lenses and accessories are expensive.
On the other hand, if you only want to take pictures of your day to day life and you don't want to learn the technical side of photography a good point and shoot may be a better choice - they are small and very easy to use.
The biggest difference between a point and shoot and a DSLR is control - with a DSLR you can control exactly how the picture turns out, this is not only due to the camera features but also because of the bigger lens and sensor, effects that are difficult or impossible with a small point and shoot and easy with a DSLR (like blurring the background).
If you go for a DSLR you really can't go wrong, even the entry level DSLRs are great (the biggest companies in this field are Canon and Nikon, if you go with one of them life will be easier in the future when you look for lenses and accessories)
If you go for a point and shoot every recent camera from an actual camera company will be good enough, you have to choose a model based on the tradeoffs between size, quality and price.

1967 Rambler American - How To Build Your First Drag CarWritten by Douglas Glad on January 22, 2007 This is the math to build your first drag car.
'A straight-bodied, two-door sedan from 1967 for $2,000 that runs and drives? Sold. Our fantasy was to build a car and drive it solidly into the 10s because even factory cars are running 11s, and Car Craft hasn't had a really fast car since former Editor Matt King's Super Nova went deep into the 11s with a correction factor. We need to be faster.
With insurance cash in hand, we set out to buy the lightest, coolest car we could find. We apprehended a six-cylinder '67 Rambler American that we cobbled together in the May '06 issue and got running with gear from a V-8 Gremlin for a total of $3,500. It smoked its way down to San Diego for the Car Craft Anti Tour then lost oil pressure. We didn't care because we already had a plan.
Why 10s and not 9s? A quick glance at the NHRA rule book told us that 9s required a valid competition license and lots of expensive, SFI-approved goodies like a flexplate shield, a rollcage, and an unfashionable driving suit. We also found that if the car is full bodied and running anywhere between 10.00 and 10.99, you can get away with a rollbar instead of a 'cage. A 'cage requires a side bar on both the driver and the passenger sides of the car and a forward hoop that crosses between the roof line and the top of the front windshield. To us, the look of a 'cage draws the line between a street car and a race car. The 'cage is more complicated and expensive, and the rollbar is easier to hide and requires only one side bar that can be removable. According to the rules, a car with a rollbar cannot exceed 135 mph. So to give ourselves a little wiggle room, we settled on 130 mph as a top speed in the quarter-mile that should put us right around 10.50.
Gears, Mph, And Tire Height
After you've figured out how fast you want to go, you need to find the weight of the car and determine how much horsepower you'll need to accomplish your goal. The formula to estimate amount of horsepower for a terminal mph in the quarter-mile is: hp = (mph / 234)3 x weight. As an example, if your car weighs 3,000 pounds, you'll need about 500 hp to run 130 mph, and if your car weighs 4,000 pounds, you'll need about 685. This is simply a power-to-weight calculation, and experience has shown us it is a little conservative, much depends on the engines torque potential. There are a lot more factors involved in goin' fast, but this is a good place to start, and it shows why weighing less is better.
The next thing you need to do is find out where your engine will make peak horsepower and pick a rear gear that will put the engine at about 200 rpm above that number going through the traps in High gear. Here is the math: gear ratio = (rpm x tire diameter) / (mph x 336). This is closely tied to the size of the tire you are going to run, so before picking a rear gear ratio, find the largest tires that will fit under the rear. You should also note that an automatic transmission in High gear will exhibit about 5 percent slippage, so you will need to add that to equation.
The Reality
The Rambler weighs 2,771 pounds, so we ran the numbers and came up with 461 for an engine-horsepower number. Adding a 180-pound driver and and 10 gallons of fuel at 7 pounds per gallon, the race weight is more like 3,021, so the horsepower required is closer to 483. We plucked a 360 from a Jeep Grand Cherokee, and with some Edelbrock heads, a flat-tappet Lunati cam, and 10.5:1 compression, we made 480 hp at 6,000 rpm in the Jan. '06 issue, before we dropped it in the car. We solved the equation using 6,000 rpm for the ideal trap rpm knowing that with converter slippage the final rpm would be about 6,300. We plugged in the the 26-inch-tall tire, divided it by 130, and got a rear ratio of 3.57.
The Rambler's design restricted the tire size that will fit under the rear without either installing minitubs or relocating the springs. With the 15x7 rear rims, the tires are within 11/48 inch of the springs, and we had to trim the inner fender to get the tires to stop rubbing. The biggest tire we could get in there was a 235/60R15 that is only 26 inches tall. A larger tire, like a 275/60R15, has an overall diameter of 30 inches and would allow us to run a 4.10 ratio. Since gear ratios multiply torque, the higher numerical ratio would help the Rambler run a quicker 60-foot time. More tire allows more gear, both because the greater footprint would help traction and the increased height would still keep the trap rpm where we want it.
We have the weight and we have the horsepower, but for the first three runs, we used the stock 2.71 rear gear. The result was a baseline of 12.75 at 112 mph, which is exactly what Comp's Desktop Drag said it would be and about 2 seconds slower that the pure power-to-weight math wanted us to believe. The run pointed out that the small tire might be enough if we don't hit it too hard on the line, and we are definitely going to need a better gear ratio if we want to go fast. Knowing this, we are going to try a 3.55 gear with the small 235 tire before we return to the racetrack and see if we can go fast without cutting the car for minitubs.

If you've been following along, you know we pulled the six and showed you how to paint the engine compartment in your driveway. The 360 was stabbed using the same long-tube header combination from the January engine build and a V-8 crossmember from a wrecked '72 Gremlin.Instead of immediately frying the stock 904 TorqueFlite, we ordered a rebuilt one from TCI and a 3,000-rpm converter with antiballooning plates. We used the recommendation from TCI after we explained our cam size, combination, goals, and longing to eventually put nitrous on everything.We predicted the stock AMC Model 20 rearend would fail, and it did on the third run. It was also the cause of most of our slowness. The stock 2.71 ratio could only produce a 2.035 60-foot time, even with the 3,000-rpm converter. The next major upgrade is going to be axles and some gears from Moser.We were inspired by small-tire cars running in the 9s using nitrous and ignition timers instead of brutal wheels-up launches. We were also inspired when we found that by using 15x7-inch wheels with 5-inch backspacing, the 235/60R15 M/T ET Street radials tucked under the fender with only inner fender-lip modifications. Both wheels are from Stockton Wheel; the front skinnies are 15x5 with VW 165R-15 tires.We had Jeff's Smith's buddy Tim Moore weld in an exhaust bung for the Innovate O2 sensor. We've become addicted to the ease of tuning with the little handheld to get the car close to race ready. Then we only have to tweak the air/fuel ratio at the track.For the baseline run, we used the stock fuel system, gas tank, and factory Jeep mechanical fuel pump. We haven't used the Innovate to tune the car, but we did use it as a safety measure in case the car was lean. At the top of the track, we were seeing 12.5:1, which is on the rich side. In theory, the best ratio is between 12.8 and 13.5 for best power. In the real world, you tune for mph.Because this is a Rambler, there are no bolt-in applications for the radiator. We used the Flex-a-fit radiator with a 22-inch core that is 2731/44 inches wide and 1811/42 inches tall. The universal mounting brackets allowed us to mount it on the existing six-cylinder core support without welding in new supports. It also came with its own fan, and we added an electronic fan control so we could set the temp and forget it.Notice we've avoided the standard fuel-cell-and-battery-in-the-trunk treatment, even though that was our first impulse. The NHRA rules say that if you move the battery to the trunk, you have to add a kill switch and a battery box; if you leave it alone, you don't have to do anything.
No way the stock starter would fit, so we again looked to the Jeepers and stole a ministarter idea from Powermaster. It uses the Hitachi silhouette design parameter, so it fits inside the headers if you remove them. The washers we used to set the lash on the ring gear turned out to be the same thickness as the transmission spacer, so we found one from another AMC engine and doubled them up. The starter makes 250 lb-ft of torque, which is likely more than the original six-cylinder engine did.We weighed the car and found that without the driver, it was 2,771 pounds. The heaviest corner was the driver's front, which will likely get worse with a CC guy behind the wheel, but the car is still very light. Once we get the rearend back together, we are going to find the center of gravity and work on launching the car.

This model is inspired by the random behavior of the Roomba sweeping robot.
Let a unit segment $ab$ in the plane be placed initially with $a=(0,0)$ and $b=(1,0)$. The segment is first rotated a random angle $\theta_1$ about $a$, $\theta_1 \in (-\pi,+\pi)$, sweeping out a sector of angle $\theta_1$ centered on $a$. Then it is rotated a random angle $\theta_2$ about $b$, sweeping out a sector of angle $\theta_2$ centered on $b$. Odd steps rotate about $a$, even about $b$, each with $\theta_i \in (-\pi,+\pi)$; each sector sweeps $< \pi$.
An example is shown below. The first, darker sector sweeps
$\theta_1=114^\circ$ (ccw), the second sweeps
$\theta_2=-140^\circ$ (cw),
and the sequence continues
$$\theta_3,\ldots = 104^\circ,-112^\circ,-93^\circ,-156^\circ,15^\circ,-97^\circ,-37^\circ,72^\circ \;.$$
Does the described random walk of this segment eventually sweep every point of the plane with probability 1? That is, will the union of the sectors cover the plane?
My guess is: 'Yes,' because of the analogy with
Pólya's recurrence theorem for random walks on a 2D lattice.
Indeed if the random angle is discretized to
$\theta_i \in \{ -\pi, -\pi/2, +\pi/2, +\pi \}$,
then the segment midpoint executes a random walk on a lattice.
On the other hand, it seems remarkable that this process
would actually sweep the whole plane.
Here is the same example extended to 10,000 steps:
Despite the similarities, I don't see how to directly reduce this model to a conventional random walk to answer the posed question. If anyone does, I would appreciate suggestions. Even just your intuitions are welcomed. Thanks!
Addendum. The answer to my question is a clear Yes!. Permit me to take the liberty of editorializing. First, it is immensely satisfying to see five respondents (Didier, Hugh, George, Anthony, fedja) effectively collaborate over the course of a day to reach such a clear resolution. I am especially grateful at how instructive is their collective discussion. Second, to me Pólya's recurrence is surprising but (perhaps because I've grown used to it) quite believable. But that this segment-walk sweeps the plane is somehow more remarkable, even if it relies (as fedja's exposition shows) on roughly the same logic.

Auto shut off By Chris on 7/2/2016Chris wouldn't recommend this product to a friendThe float sensor got stuck on and the pump did not turn off. The auto turn off did not work. Luckily the story revisor was almost empty and my tank did not overflow. I don't trust it any more need to upgrade to the one with the optical sensor.
Great nano ATO By Tommy on 6/13/2016Tommy would recommend this product to a friendI installed the Tunze nano ATO in my Corallife Biocube 29. I placed it in the 3rd chamber with the return pump. So far it works perfectly. It has helped stabilize the tank and my corals could not be happier. Great little ATO.
Had defective pump By Mike on 4/25/2016Mike would recommend this product to a friendMy experience is mix. The product works well for 10 days then stopped. Tunze customer service replace the pump and is wrking fine now. Just the trouble of not wrking and having to contact Tunze for replace part.
Works great! By Rachelle on 2/15/2016Rachelle would recommend this product to a friendThis is a very nice ATO system, it works like a charm and keeps my salinity nice and stable. My only complaint is that it doesn't have a way to keep the pump sitting flat.
Amazing By Jack on 1/14/2016Jack would recommend this product to a friendi have been looking for an ato for a while, and i found tunze's products. i didnt really want to spennd $200 on the osmolator, so i tried the nano osmolator. works great, and has an auto shut off just in case it fails. another quality product by tunze
Terrible By Brandon on 8/31/2015Brandon wouldn't recommend this product to a friendThe reason why the normal tunze osmolator does so well and sells so often is because the eye sensor it has well in this Nano version there's none witch makes this just as good as a lowest model auto top off u can buy for a few dollers or even make not worth it and don't use it trust me
Great Nano ATO By Sterling on 7/23/2015Sterling would recommend this product to a friendThis is an excellent ATO. I'm new to reefing and everywhere I read ATO's were on top of the suggestion list. I bought this with everything else to setup my new tank and I'm very glad I did. It was easy to setup, works as advertised, and leaves a little footprint. Worth the price and it's one less thing I need to worry about.
Love this thing By AdamNC on 6/29/2015AdamNC would recommend this product to a friendBeen using it for a few months now with little issues. One issue is with the supplied hose the pump in the reservoir tends to sit sideways. But that's not fault of the actual equipment just the hose. And on a rimmed tank it does make the water line sit about 2-3mm below the rim. Nothing major just a peeve but I'm used to it now. It actually allows me to see that the water line is constant in the tank. Other then those two things I love it. Mechanically I've had no issues.
Should have got this a long time ago. By DadE on 6/26/2015DadE would recommend this product to a friendWorks great and on my way to a stable reef.
excellent By Redick on 6/23/2015Redick would recommend this product to a friendI placed this on a 60 gal. It does exactly what it advertised very very well. An excellent product. East set up and easy to use.

Could followers who did not commit be invited to the private beta directly as committed users will be? (without needing the invitation of a committed user)
You can now invite other people you know to a site during a private beta by simply entering their email address after you have joined the site. This will replace the old "under construction" logo that was taking that spot.
We will have a very limited invitation system during the private beta -- so committers can invite a few folks of their choosing to the site during the period that the private beta runs.
But really, the goal is to get out of private beta ASAP.
(however, yes, it is possible in theory that some sites could reach private beta and fail to exit, because they're not generating enough activity..)
Now that the Food and Cooking proposal is in private beta , I find myself wanting to invite some of my friends/family to participate in the site. Maybe each committer could get 5 invites or something to give out?
This may require more careful consideration than it seems at first glance.
One of the reasons to limit people to 3 commitments is to avoid having beta participants spreading themselves too thin - it's worthwhile limiting their participation so they focus more closely on the sites they believe they can contribute the most.
There are ways to get into the beta without committing, but making it trivial or easy to do so may actually be counterproductive.

Recently, and in the coming days, a special group of young people have and will be displaying their talents to entertain, amuse and amaze.
It's high school musical season in the Ohio Valley, and there have been, and will be, a plethora of musicals to choose from on area high school auditorium stages.
Toronto High School is gearing up to present its spring musical next weekend. The Toronto High School Drama Club will stage the musical "Footloose" April 12-14 in the high school auditorium. It will be extraordinary, as it will be the last musical presented on that stage. The high school will have a new home next year.
Students in the Indian Creek Local School District are preparing for their production of "Little Shop of Horrors" set April 11-13 at the high school.
And, for musical fans throughout the Tri-State Area, Brooke High School will present "Children of Eden" on May 2-4.
Steubenville, Catholic Central and Madonna high schools all presented their musicals recently. And reports are that the seats were full for the performances of "Cats," "A Little Princess" and "Grease," respectively.
These productions, taking place in their respective high school auditoriums, represent the culmination of months and months of hard work and sweat from students who learned lines and songs, as well as dance routines.
The shows represent the patience and hard work of the teacher/directors, of support staff including students and parents and other teachers who get the stages ready and the sets prepared and the costumes just so.
It's a chance to laugh, to ponder and to simply enjoy the rich variety of talent available in our area high schools. If you doubt that today's youth are capable of much beyond video games, erase your doubts by attending one of these fine productions.
You'll see true talent on display from young people dedicated enough to have put in the time it takes to perform in a staged musical production.
It is a credit to these schools, these instructors and especially these students.
Special people deserve accolades.
And when the lights come up and the applause rise, we hope it's full houses that the performers see.
