Your physician has found through your regular gynecological examination, pap smear, and colposcopy abnormal changes in your cervix, that need further treatment. It has been suggested to you that you receive a treatment known as the Loop Electrosurgical Excision Procedure. In preparing for this procedure, it is important that you have enough information to fully understand why this needs to be done and how it is done.
The LEEP procedure is being performed by many physicians and is one of several available treatment options for precancerous changes in the cervix.
The uterus is the muscular organ located in the pelvis. It is broad at the top and narrow at the bottom. At each side of the upper part, a fallopian tube leads outward toward an ovary. The ovaries contain many eggs, or ova, and normally release one during each menstrual cycle. The tubes carry a fertilized egg from the ovaries to the uterus. The lower end of the uterus, called the cervix, is a narrow channel with a small opening. It opens into the vagina.
If your pap smear shows abnormal cells, then you will be asked to have a colposcopy. This simply means the doctor will look at your cervix with a bright light and magnifying glass. The instrument the doctor uses is called a colposcope (col-po-scope). If the doctor sees any abnormal areas on your cervix, he/she will do a biopsy. A biopsy is a removal of a tiny piece of tissue from your cervix. The tissue is sent to a laboratory to be read. This is done to help identify the reason for the abnormal cells. when the results of the biopsy are reviewed, it is determined if further treatment is necessary.
The goal of treatment is to remove all abnormal cells.
There is no special preparation before this procedure. There is very little bleeding or blood loss during the procedure. Since this is an office based procedure, you will be able to leave the office just as if you have come to the physician for a regular office visit.
Loop electrosurgery is felt to be a highly effective and well accepted office based treatment option in the cure of cervical lesions.
You may have some vaginal bleeding for a short period after the procedure is performed. Cramping may also occur, but should also subside. You may have some clear vaginal drainage for up to two weeks after the procedure.
Refrain from sex or the use of tampons or douche for a period of time determined by your physician. Avoid heavy lifting and do not resume a normal exercise program, also as specified by your physician.
You will need to reschedule a follow up appointment with your doctor. If you have any questions or any problems arise, do not hesitate to call your physician's office.

WACO (February 6, 2013)—Milton Donovan Forcey, 19, was indicted Wednesday for aggravated robbery and aggravated kidnapping in an incident in late December in which a man was robbed at gunpoint and then was forced to drive to various ATMs in Waco in an attempt to get more cash.
Forcey remained in the McLennan County Jail Wednesday in lieu of bonds totaling $1 million.
He was arrested on Dec. 30 after a man reported that he was held at gunpoint, robbed and then forced to drive from one ATM to another in an attempt to get more money for a gunman.
The victim said he was at a traffic light at North 18th Street and Bosque Boulevard when a car pulled up and the driver asked for help.
The victim offered his assistance, but then the assailant got into the victim's car, pulled a handgun and demanded money.
The victim said he was then forced to drive to several other locations where he tried to get money from ATM's but was unsuccessful.
The victim told officers at one point the gunman told him to ask other people for money.
Police said the victim made no effort to escape his attacker.
After the gunman released the victim, the man notified police.
The victim was injured slightly but did not require medical attention, police said.
Other Indictments
Bryant Jay Davis, a Mart juvenile detention facility corrections officer, was indicted for official oppression stemming from an assault on a 17-year-old detention center inmate last fall.
The incident happened at the TJJD facility in Mart, an arrest warrant affidavit says.
Davis was arrested at the facility.
The affidavit says Davis used his closed fist to hit the young inmate in the face and head at least 12 times.
The youth later had to be treated by a facility nurse for cuts to his face and one eye.
TJJD spokesman Jim Hurley said Davis was suspended pending the outcome of an investigation.
Marchon Dazeon Slaughter, 24, was indicted for aggravated robbery in an incident in which a man who had broken into a car pulled a gun on the woman who owned the car when she confronted him.
Jason Maltino Davis, 37, was indicted on two counts of sexual assault of a child and one count of indecency with a child by contact.
He was arrested in December on warrants stemming from an investigation that started after a woman reported to police that her daughter had been sexually assaulted in October 2011, police said.
The child also reported that a man touched her inappropriately in September 2011.
Police said the sexual assault resulted in the 15-year-old victim's pregnancy.
David Vince Lopez was named in a six-count indictment charging three counts of aggravated sexual assault of a child and three counts of indecency with a child by contact.

Many have a custom not to eat nuts during elul, because אגוז is gematria חטא (sin). So what exactly is considered nuts? Almonds, Cashews, Pistachios, Macadamian, Hazelnuts, Pecans? How about Peanuts (or doughnuts)? How to classify?

Here's how it works:
- Anybody can ask a question
- Anybody can answer
- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
Even though the famous reason for not eating nuts is because of the gematria, there is another reason not to eat nuts from Elul through Hoshanah Rabbah (and this would apply to all tree-nuts and maybe even peanuts) is since they increase phlegm they will hinder one's own ability to pray and disturb others (by clearing the throat) as well. And since we spend so much time praying at this time of year better to not eat anything that may hinder one's ability to do so. It seems that walnuts and hazelnuts are the only one's mentioned by Mateh Efraim and this is probably because those were prevalent in his area. In addition the word "egoz" is also used as a general term for tree-nuts.

Problem statement:
Let $S$ be the set of all positive integers $n$ such that $n^2$ is a multiple of both $24$ and $108$. Which of the following integers are divisors of every integer $n$ in $S$?
The choices are: $12, 24, 36, 72$. The solution is $12$ and $36$.
My solution was $S = \{36, 36* 6^3, 36*6^5, ...\}$
I can't figure out this problem. I started by finding the $\text{lcm}(24,108)$ and solved for $n$. I got some of the numbers in the set $S$, but not all of them, and I don't see what I'm missing.
Update: added the choices and what my results

WACO (November 20, 2012)--A Coryell County Jail inmate being held on an unrelated charge was served with an arrest warrant while in custody in connection with a robbery at a Waco convenience store.
William Slade Adair, 24, was transferred Friday to the McLennan County Jail after he was served with a warrant charging him with aggravated robbery in connection with a Sept. 20 robbery of the Alon store on Hillcrest Drive.
Adair was ordered held on a $40,000 bond.
A man who was in the store at around 1 p.m. on Sept. 20 demanded money from the cash register and when the clerk told him she couldn't open the register, he pulled a gun and demanded that she try again.
When the second attempt also proved futile, the gunman ran from the store.

Dodge City residents now have access to free online magazines thanks to a service offered by the Dodge City Public Library (DCPL). Called Zinio, the service allows library card holders to access a number of magazines in electronic format through the library's website. Offerings include "Newsweek," "Cosmopolitan," "Rolling Stone" and "National Geographic." 97 separate titles are available. The magazines can be viewed on most internet-enabled devices, including PC, Mac, iPhone, iPad, Kindle Fire, Blackberry and Nook HD. "We are pleased to be able to offer this new online resource to our patrons so that they can now enjoy reading some of their favorite magazines at their leisure from their computer or other digital device," Library Director Cathy Reeves said in a news release. "All it takes to access this new service is a Dodge City Public Library card." Zinio is provided by the company Recorded Books. The platform is being paid for by the Southwest Kansas Library System and the library pays an individual fee to subscribe to the magazines. In total the library system paid $10,000 for the platform and for content. DCPL contributed $250. Dodge City Public Services Librarian Michael Blitz said that the decision to implement Zinio was made partly in response to patron demand for electronic materials. "We are getting more and more patrons who are trying to access materials digitally," Blitz said. "We're simply adapting our services, doing something we've always done but in a new environment." DCPL offers a number of technological services, the most popular of which is free computer use. The library has computers for four separate age groups, including adults, teens, kids and pre-schoolers. Pre-schoolers use what are called AWE computers, touch screen devices that have no internet access and provide an interactive experience for children. Other offerings from the library include a number of online databases, including journal articles, a demographic research database and TellMeMore, a language teaching program. DCPL Connect allows users to connect to the library's website through a mobile device. Podcasts have been utilized since 2009. Next on the agenda are eBooks, which the library plans to begin implementing next year. eBooks are currently available through the state of Kansas, links to which can be accessed through the library's website. Despite the increasing popularity of electronic materials, Blitz said that demand for printed materials has only increased. "There's still a very strong demand for print materials that hasn't gone away," Blitz said. For more information on how to access Zinio, speak with a library staff member or visit www.dcpl.info.

i am early undergraduate looking for a good textbook gor algebra, i don't want a too wordy book@@
closed as too localized by Ryan Budney, Mark Sapir, Gerry Myerson, Martin Brandenburg, Yemon Choi May 21 '11 at 8:10
This question is unlikely to help any future visitors; it is only relevant to a small geographic area, a specific moment in time, or an extraordinarily narrow situation that is not generally applicable to the worldwide audience of the internet. For help making this question more broadly applicable, visit the help center.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
Maybe for a first serious formal introduction to abstract algebra, you may start downloading the free book by Judson as I think it develops the theory essentials at the right pace and has easy and applied examples and exercises (with hints to solutions).
I would suggest two things : 1. heading to J.S. Milne's site to answer the question ; 2. and closing that question since it's too elementary.
I recently passed my qualifying exam and for that I studied "Abstract Algebra" by Dummit and Foote. It was an interesting book which explains everything from basic with several interesting examples. The only thing is that it is some kind of encyclopedia so you should not cover everything for your studying; I believe that you should get the book and talk with a professor about the parts that could be helpful for you.

Man jailed for shaking baby
On Wednesday night a six-week-old female infant from Colville was transported via Med Star to a Spokane hospital. Authorities say the baby showed signs of abuse and Spokane Police began an investigation. Spokane Police alerted Stevens County Sheriff Kendle Allen to the abuse and Stevens Co. Sheriff's deputies interviewed 18-year-old David M. Ordway, who lived with the baby's mother. According to Allen, Ordway confessed to abusing the child. As of now, it's unclear whether he is the baby's biological father. The baby appears to have been shaken and also suffered some other forms of abuse, says Allen. The investigation is still ongoing. Allen says that the baby's mother was not involved in the abuse of the child. Ordway is currently in custody at the Stevens County Jail and had his first court appearance Friday morning. *See the complete story in the 8-31-11 edition of the S-E.

I have a shape file with UK districts and unitary authorities. In the past, using commuting patterns, I worked out a new geography which is close to travel to work areas. I now would like to create a new shape file where UK districts and Unitary authorities are merged to create my new map of travel to work areas. I know it is possible to merge features manually by clicking the "merge selected features" icon. Only it is taking me ages... Is there a way of programming this? Is there a way to write some syntax win order to merge features? That would help a lot, because I will be able to write the program and while I am running it doing something else. Also I would have the syntax saved somewhere.

How to Draw the Perfect T-Shirt on Fashion Figures
Draw the basic woman's tee.
Start with a basic shirt. T-shirts can be tight or loose on the body. To make the shirt tight, follow the woman's torso shape closely. To make it loose, keep the lines farther away from her body.
Draw the collar by adding a curved line slightly below the curved neckline. Draw short parallel lines to add ribbing to the collar. These lines connect the two curved lines of the collar.
Finish by adding two rows of topstitching lines to the sleeve hem and to the bottom hem.
To modify a woman's T-shirt, try changing the neckline:
Draw a V-neck. Instead of drawing a curved line at the neck, draw a V with the top of the V starting on either side of the neck. The lines should meet at a point in the top third of the woman's chest under her chin.
Go daring with a deep scoop neck. Draw a curved line more in the shape of a U on the chest. This neckline allows you to show some skin or accessorize with a fun necklace.

To save the co-workers and the clients from confusion a common language to describe the elements of the web site is a good idea I think. I've seen a couple of design pattern sites but I wonder if someone could point me to a dictionary somewhere in the world wide web that describes common elements such as primary navigation, header, footer, utility menus snipplets etc etc.
I couldn't find one that had everything. I found 4 that in combination should cover the majority of web design jargon.

The ICEbox seems like a really useful thing to have. I've seen quite a few similar projects (probably we still have those vids at C9) using the icebox.
btw, did you manage to get a deal for that device from Mike?

Its great listening to somebody who obviously knows everything there is to know about their area of work and who has enthusiasm for what they do. Mike expressed his knowledge in such a clear way that it was technical but also very easy to follow along. I would love to work along side Mike as I would learn soo much just by talking with him.
And not to leave Rory out, I thought you asked some good questions and kept the flow of the video moving nicely. Look forward to more videos from you.

Jessica Simpson says she can't wait for baby boy
We hope Jessica Simpson's son likes leather, because his mom has stocked up.
The 32-year-old singer/TV personality ripped into boyish gifts at her baby shower over the weekend, telling People magazine that she's more than ready to welcome a bit more testosterone into her home, which also includes her fiance, Eric Johnson, and their 11-month-old daughter, Maxwell.
"I'm so excited to have a son," Simpson said. "He got all these cute vintage cars and I got a lot of little leather jackets I can't wait to try out!"
The "Fashion Star" mentor accidentally revealed that she and Johnson are expecting a boy on "Jimmy Kimmel Live" in March, and a month later hosted a Tom Sawyer-themed baby shower in Los Angeles.
At the party, which boasted a grilled cheese station and Southern fare like fried chicken, little Maxwell got excited for her brother's arrival in her own way: "She was taking over some of her little brother's gifts!" Simpson said.
Part of the reason Simpson's so thrilled to have a boy is because growing up, it was just her and her sister, Ashlee.
"I didn't grow up with a brother and I think the unknown is really exciting," she said. "I can't wait to have that connection with our little man."

Of course I'm talking about the algebraic notion of field.
In a few words, if a TQFT consists of a functor $Z\colon Cob(n)\to \mathbf{Vec}_k$, I'm wondering if there are sensible relations among different choices of $k$... Some example coming to my mind:
Fix a real valued TQFT. Can I turn the functor sending objects to $Z(M)\otimes_\mathbb R\mathbb C$ (the "complexification" of the real vector space associated to $M$) into a complex valued TQFT?
What if I consider, in general, a $k$-valued TQFT and a $K$-valued TQFT (with $K$ an extension of $k$)? What if $K$ is finite, infinite, algebraic, Galois or not, positive charateristic or not, etc etc.?
(Feel free to retag the question).

Given a polytope of dimension $n$, is there some general way to determine if it can tile $\mathbb{R}^n$?
The book Tilings and Patterns by Branko Grünbaum and Geoffrey Shephard (W.H. Freeman) is still, despite its 1987 publication date, an excellent source of information about tiling questions. Wang tiles and decidability problems are treated in Chapter 11.
The non-existence of an algorithm (for the plane) can be found in a paper by Adler and Holroyd, Geometriae Dedicata, 1981. The proof uses a straightforward simulation of Wang tiles.
Edit 9/30/2015 My revised understanding is still not correct! The undecidability of the tiling problem is not equivalent to the existence of an aperiodic tiling. See Edmund Harris's answer at this related MO post.
Edit 3/14/2013: My original answer below was confusing "undecidability" with "independence from the axioms of set theory," and I want to preface it with my revised, hopefully more accurate understanding.
At one point in time, it was open whether or not there exists a Turing machine which could decide if a given set of tiles would tile the plane. Then Hao Wang showed that this problem was indeed decidable if and only if every set of tiles that could tile the plane could do so periodically. Wang's student Berger, and later others like Penrose demonstrated the existence of aperiodic sets of tiles, thus proving via Wang's result that the tiling problem is undecidable. (No Turing machine could reliably spit out a yes-no answer, given a set of tiles.) For a long time it remained open whether there was a single tile that could only tile aperiodically. (Penrose had gotten it down to 2. Berger had started with about 20,000 I think.) But then in 2010 the Taylor-Socolar tile was discovered. It is a single disconnected tile which tiles the plane but only aperiodically. I've included a picture.
This does not directly address the OP, but is suggestive that it could be an undecidable problem.
Original post: Probably there is not! Indeed I believe there is a single (very complicated) 2D tile for which the problem of whether it tiles the plane is logically undecidable [Edit: meaning independent of the axioms of ZFC set theory]! I don't have the reference handy. Perhaps somebody else can supply it. With a quick Google search, the Wikipedia article on Wang tiles is the closest I could come. Wang tiles are presented as colored tiles where the colors have to match on shared edges, but these can be converted to regular tiles by modifying the boundary so that only like colors can join. According to Wikipedia, there is a set of 13 tiles for which the tiling problem is logically undecidable [Edit: meaning independent of the axioms of ZFC set theory], but I seem to recall hearing that this number has been reduced to 1, but possibly no longer in the Wang tile category.
Edit: As was pointed out to me in the comments, this seems different than asking whether the tiling problem is decidable in the decision problem sense, for which the truth of any finite proposition is assumed to be known, and the question is whether an algorithm exists that successfully runs on the set of all tiles.

The bill will call for replacing Fannie and Freddie with a new system of federally insured mortgage securities in which private insurers would be required to take initial losses before any government guarantee would be triggered.
Of course, considering these issues relate to Washington and the housing market, the bill most likely has a long road ahead before getting passed. But that hasn't stopped investors from fleeing the stocks Tuesday.
Both stock declines–which occurred on more than seven times their average daily volume, according to FactSet–represent a major reversal from the sharp gains registered over the past 12 months. Fannie shares, which traded as low as 29 cents a year ago, peaked at $6.35 on Tuesday before falling sharply.
The rally had reflected a major gamble by some deep-pocketed investors that they can force the government to change its stated policy and allow outside investors to share in the profits the companies have reaped in the wake of a taxpayer bailout that began in 2008 and cost $187 billion.
A big loser in Tuesday's drop is Bill Ackman, the founder of Pershing Square Capital Management, which is the top holder in Fannie shares. Pershing has notched a $231 million decline in paper losses today on Fannie's drop.
Here's a look at Fannie's stock over the past 12 months:
A 10-year chart tells a much different story:
The agreement announced Tuesday between Sens. Tim Johnson (D., S.D.) and Mike Crapo (R., Idaho) follows closely on the work of a proposal released last year by Sens. Bob Corker (R., Tenn.) and Mark Warner (D., Va.).
"There is near unanimous agreement that our current housing-finance system is not sustainable in the long term," Mr. Johnson said in a statement. The current arrangement, in which Fannie and Freddie are backing nearly three in five new loans while under government control, is "unacceptable," Mr. Crapo said. Their proposal "provides a balance between providing broad access to mortgages while protecting taxpayers from losses."

Description of Incident:
Broward Sheriff's Office detectives filed charges against one of the men involved in a series of burglaries where the thieves sought cigarettes. In early August, the pair smashed their way into at least eight businesses in six cities in Broward County to get their hands on the smokes.
Investigators located James Hendee, 35, at the BSO jail, where he was being held on unrelated charges. As the investigation got underway, fingerprints located at one of the crime scenes put him on detectives' radar. Additionally, detectives confirmed the vehicle seen in surveillance video belonged to Hendee. In an interview with detectives, Hendee admitted to his involvement in the North Lauderdale burglary, but denied participating in any of the others. He told detectives he stole the cigarettes to support his drug habit.
In August, we released surveillance video of two suspects as they broke into the Rite Stop at 4050 N. Dixie Highway in Oakland Park. Around 4:20 a.m. August 5, an SUV pulled up in front of the business and two white males got out of the car armed with a cement block. They hurled it at the lower glass pane of the front doors and quickly ran in, got the cigarettes and fled.
Hendee is facing six charges for his involvement in the crime spree, including burglary and grand theft. More charges are expected. The investigation continues.
Anyone with information is asked to contact BSO Detective Armando Hernandez at 954-202-3131 or Broward Crime Stoppers, anonymously, at 954-493-TIPS (8477) or www.browardcrimestoppers.org.
***MEDIA NOTE: Excellent, color surveillance video of the Rite Stop burglary is available for download at www.sheriff.org under PIO#12-8-15.

Nesting Viewports
I have a page where I need to nest viewports. The problem is that the inner viewport is sized to the browser page and ends up adding scrollbars. Is there a way to do this? Or maybe there is a better way for me to design the page:
- I have a main Viewport so I could have a static header and footer.
- I use a DockLayoutPanel where the north panel is the header, the south panel is the footer, and the center panel is a scrollable VerticalLayoutContainer.
- The center panel is where the second Viewport is added. This is where the unnecessary scrollbars show up. I need a Viewport here in order to correctly lay out my page which uses a BorderLayoutContainer. I use the BorderLayoutContainer because my page needs to be split up into three widgets: west/center/south. I haven't been able to find a way to get the page to layout correctly without using the second Viewport.
Please let me know if there is a way to accomplish this. Thanks!
9 Jan 2013 2:57 PM #2
The purpose of Viewport is to size to all available space in the browser. This means that it never makes sense to nest them, and almost never makes sense to use more than one.
Why are you using both DockLayoutPanel and BorderLayoutContainer? Why not just a BorderLC, or two BorderLCs? At least that will be more consistent about how layouts are performed.
That said, you do not need and should not have a Viewport inside the DockLayoutPanel. It should be possible to add the BorderLC to the DockLP (but see above).
And if you are just using the DockLayoutPanel for a header, consider a VerticalLayoutContainer - set the top item to be a fixed size, and the 'center' region then to be 1.0,1.0 (i.e. take all remaining width and height)
Can you put this layout setup into a simple EntryPoint so that other users can try to run it and make suggestions about how else you might build this setup?
10 Jan 2013 12:29 PM #3
Thank you! This helped me find the problem within my code. I had an extra VerticalPanel and VerticalLayoutContainer that, when removed, helped display the BorderLC correctly. It seems that when the BorderLC is in a VerticalLC, it puts the south container on top. Weird.
The reason I needed a Viewport with DockLP is that I had a header and a footer, and I needed a way to be able to add additional static headers (depending on which page I was viewing). The Viewport is used amongst all the pages in my app. So sometimes it will have an additional north widget that displayed navigational buttons along with a menu bar, and sometimes it will only have a menu bar. So I needed the flexibility to be able to add multiple north widgets.
10 Jan 2013 12:45 PM #4
VerticalLC should behave with a BorderLC in it, provided you give the BorderLC a size - what VerticalLayoutData did you assign when you added it?
public class Test implements EntryPoint { public void onModuleLoad() { //Only make one viewport, that gets added to the root panel Viewport root = new Viewport(); //First, the outer wrapper: VerticalLayoutContainer outer = new VerticalLayoutContainer(); //Header section can go in here - take all width available (i.e. 1.0), and only height required(i.e. -1): outer.add(new Label("Replace with real header"), new VerticalLayoutData(1.0, -1)); BorderLayoutContainer border = new BorderLayoutContainer(); //add content to the border LC... border.setNorthWidget(createContentPanel("North")); border.setSouthWidget(createContentPanel("South")); border.setEastWidget(createContentPanel("East")); border.setCenterWidget(createContentPanel("Center")); //Add the BorderLC with both height/width as 1.0 to use all remaining space: outer.add(border, new VerticalLayoutData(1.0,1.0)); root.setWidget(outer); RootPanel.get().add(root); } private ContentPanel createContentPanel(String heading) { ContentPanel panel = new ContentPanel(); panel.setHeadingText(heading); panel.setWidget(new Label(heading + " content goes here")); return panel; } }

Summit Racing Four-Wheel Disc Brakes - Big Bad BindersWritten by on May 3, 2010 Summit Racing Four-Wheel Disc Brakes For C-10s
Building a bitchin classic pickup takes more than its fair share of planning and list making-especially if it's gonna be a driver and not just a showpiece. One aspect that more often than not shows up lower on that priority list than it should is the brake system. Every one of us should pay as close attention to brake system upgrades as we do to our horsepower, stance, color, and wheel choices. After all, what good is a great looking high-performance pickup if we end up wrecking it before we get a real chance to enjoy it? Not much, believe me. It's with this in mind that we'd like to stress the fact that a safe and reliable braking system is one of the most important upgrades we can perform on our trucks-and it's a rather easy one at that.
Perhaps one of the most difficult aspects of an upgrade like this is choosing the components we want to use. What makes it difficult is the shear amount of options we have to choose from (component and kit wise). It's probably safe to say that every major classic truck parts source offers an array of brake upgrades and/or disc brake conversions-making it easy for us on one hand, and difficult on the other. In our case, and like we often do when parts shopping we grabbed our ever-handy Summit Racing catalog. One reason the Summit catalog is such a great way to shop for hot rod and classic truck parts is the vast array of manufacturer's products they both stock and sell. Heck, even their Summit-branded components are manufactured by a host of the best manufacturing names in their fields so quality is never one of our concerns. In this case we opened up our most recent catalog (the Nov./Dec. '09 issue) and went straight to the chassis section and found the components we were looking for-and at some pretty darn fair pricing.
So without further blabbering on my part take a look at how we went about updating the front and converting our Chevy from old-style drums to great performing four-wheel discs in a weekend. And don't forget performance stopping is every bit as important as going fast-actually more so.
More Photos From This Article View Slideshow
Aside from just about any part or accessory you might need to complete the assembly of your classic pickup Summit Racing Equipment offers a large selection of high-performance brake systems and conversion kits as well. Shown here is the array of components we chose from our own dog-eared copy of the Summit catalog for our brake system upgrade (a mixture of parts in kit form and individual components). It'd be to your advantage to hit the company's website or catalog (the website selection is huge by the way) to see the large selection of parts we're speaking of-it's pretty impressive to say the least. Our chore that day was to upgrade our Chevy from rear drums to discs (rear discs can add as much as 30 percent more braking power versus drums), but while in the planning stage decided to freshen the front system and add a new power booster, master cylinder, and a few front suspension parts while we were at it.We began the upgrade by removing the existing master cylinder and power booster. The first item of business was disconnecting the pushrod from the pedal assembly up under the dash. Next, using the appropriate flair nut wrenches, the brake lines were disconnected from the master and the old fluid drained and disposed of appropriately (be careful not to drip any brake fluid on the vehicle's paint as it often causes damage to the finish).While the booster and master cylinder were being handled we started disassembling the existing front brake assemblies. The truck was raised, placed on a set of jackstands, and the wheels and tires removed. Once the old calipers were disconnected and removed the dust caps were then pried off and the cotter pins, castle nuts, and the outer wheel bearings removed allowing the old rotors to be slid off the truck's spindles.The new protective coating was then washed off the new Summit/SSBC slotted rotors with brake cleaner and the inner and outer wheel bearings packed with quality high-temp wheel bearing grease and the inner bearing placed into the bearing cup in the rotors. New seals were then packed (between the seal lips) with a bit of bearing grease and then tapped into place on the new rotors using a soft mallet.The rotors were then slid into place, the grease packed outer bearings slid into place, and the washer and adjuster nut installed. The wheel bearing adjustment is especially important with disc brakes. You'll want to rotate the rotors while torquing the spindle nuts to 17-25 lb-ft. Back off the nuts a 1/2-turn, retighten them to 10-15 lb-ft, and then insert the cotter pins and reinstall the dust caps.Next come the new front calipers. Before installing them though you'll want to install the new (freshly silicone-greased) O-rings and steel slides into the caliper mounting ears. That done, you'll then install the new brake pads into the calipers (the outer pads first, then the inner pads and spring clips next). Lube the caliper mounting bolts, slide the calipers into position (making sure the bleeders are pointing up) over the rotors and line up the holes in the calipers with the holes in the caliper brackets. Make sure the ends of the bolts pass under the retaining ears of the inboard pads, push the bolts through the bushings of the outboard ears, and thread in the bolts torquing them to 25-30 lb-ft.With the new components in place at the front of the truck, we then moved to the rear and began our rear drum-to-disc conversion.Remove the rear drums from the ends of the axles, and then the shoes and hardware from the backing plates. Disconnect the parking brake cables from the actuators and pull them through the backing plates after compressing the retaining clips, and then (using the correct flair nut wrench) disconnect the hard lines from the wheel cylinders.
Working through the opening of the differential, locate and remove the pinion shaft lock bolt and push the pinion lock out. Next, push the axles inward and remove the C-locks from the inboard ends of the axleshafts and slide the axles carefully out of the rearend housing.With the axles removed from the housing, the next step is to remove the backing plates by loosening and removing the four nuts and bolts on each axle flange.In order to keep dirt and rust out of the housing and to help protect the rear axle seals, a rag was stuffed into each opening. After using the component identification illustrations in the Summit instruction sheets we grabbed the caliper mounting plates making sure we had the correct ones for each side (they're stamped L and R for identification purposes) and mounted them over the ends of the axle tubes and against the mounting flanges. The stepped sides of the mounting plates should face toward the ends of the axle tubes (Note: Install the mounting bolts from the outside-we learned that the hard way). If/when installed correctly the tops of the caliper mounting plates will tilt toward the front of the truck.On the backside of the mounting plates, install one of the 3/4-inch spacers over each of the bolts, and then slide on the splash shields with their openings toward the rear of the truck and the lips pointing outward.The caliper mounting straps come next. Slide them over the caliper mounting bolts, one on the top and one on the bottom of each. The straps are the same and must point toward the back of the truck with the ends pointing in toward each other as shown.Next, place the parking brake cable mounting brackets over the bottom front bolt on each side of the truck and secure everything with the self-locking nuts supplied in the kit and torque them to 65-70 lb-ft.With all the bracketry mounted, reinstall the axleshafts, C-locks, lock pin, and lock bolt-clean up the differential cover, add a new gasket, and reinstall it (don't forget to refill the differential with fresh gear lube).
The new rear calipers are then slid over the rotors (making sure the parking brake levers are pointing toward the ground) and secure them to the brackets torquing them to 80-100 lb-ft.Install the hollow-block ends of the flex hoses to the calipers using the banjo bolts and copper washers supplied in the kit-torque the banjo bolts to 15-20 lb-ft. Remove the steel rearend line at the flex hose and replace them with the new ones from the kit and then bend them along the rearend so they can be connected to the flex hoses on the caliper ends.Next comes the parking brake cables-but before beginning it's helpful to get all of the slack out of the cable at the adjuster. Feed both cables under the axle tubes and through the holes in the L-brackets. The inner cable and spring will pass-through the hole in the caliper casting and the ball end of the cable will lock into the slots on the parking brake levers while the outer cables lock into the L-brackets. The cable adjuster is then tightened up just enough to take the slack out of the cables, with the final adjustments being made after the new system is bled.Speaking of bleed, with the new rotors, calipers, etc., installed, it's back to the new master cylinder/booster. The new brake master is bench bled to ready it for installation and the new booster and mounting bracket readied, as well.Once the new brake system is installed and all the nuts, bolts, and brake lines tightened to spec, the system is then bled as one normally would and the final parking brake adjustments made according to the instructions supplied with the Summit kit.The new booster/master assembly is installed in the reverse order in which it was removed, and the filled and bench-bled master is reconnected to the original front brake lines (again, using flair-nut wrenches to keep from rounding the hex heads).And here we have it. All that's left is to reinstall the wheels and tires, drop the truck down to the floor, and test that they work as they should and that there are no fluid leaks. The complete conversion can be done in a day, and thanks to Summit Racing we ended up with a four-wheel disc brake system that performed a heck of a lot better than the existing brake system for less than a couple of grand (or under a grand in the case of just a rear-disc conversion)! More importantly, the safety and peace of mind afforded by an upgrade as important as this is priceless, and one we'd seriously suggest contemplating on your own classic truck.

My training in kick boxing includes getting many punches on stomach. I kind of enjoy this painful training. Apart from my master everyone told its not good for stomach. Is it going to harm some internal organs if someone really hits hard many times.
One of the eternal truths about martial arts is that you're going to get hit. And another eternal truth is that sometimes you're going to get hit hard. So it's a good thing to learn to take hits. Being struck in the belly is a good way to learn to tighten the abs and discover that they are an effective shield when they are properly developed and trained.
A friend of mine used to practice boxing about thirty years ago. They did many, many sit-ups every day. He hasn't done this more than two decades. To this day, his abs are rock-hard, and punching him in the stomach is an exercise in futility.
This having been said, if someone hits you too hard, or you mess up and somehow allow the strike to get to your organs, or if you get hit too many times and your muscles get too tired to work properly, you can really mess yourself up. Your teacher should overview it all and make sure the strikes aren't too powerful, and make sure you are receiving the strikes properly.
So - it depends. It's a good drill. It can be dangerous.

Background: in computer science, if you allocate CPU time to $n$ processes by rate-monotonic scheduling, all the processes get sufficient amount of time when the quantity $U$ called CPU utilization is less than or equal to $n(2^{1/n} - 1)$. It is monotonously decreasing and tends to $\log 2$ when $n\rightarrow\infty$, so if $U \le \log 2$, you can be sure all the processes will be given sufficient CPU time.

Where is the Sambatyon? Is there really a river somewhere that throws stones all week and rests on Shabbos?

Well, an encyclopedia entry on it says the earliest source is Pliny's Historia Naturalis, in which a river with similar miraculous properties is in fact reported in XXXI:18 (last line). The footnote there identifies it, citing a later source, as the river Eleutherus, which is currently in northern Lebanon.
I once saw an article (don't recall where) that identified it with the Dardanelles, which separates Europe from Asia. Part of the author's idea was that it was originally called ים בטיון ("Sea of the Bithynians," an ancient people who lived in that area), and that got corrupted to סמבטיון.
I believe it was Rabbi Wein who said the Sambatyon is in the mind.

Saudi Arabia has long advocated for a Middle East that is free of nuclear, biological and chemical weapons and there is no basis to change current policies. Saudi Arabia is a signatory to the nuclear non-proliferation treaty and other UN conventions on weapons of mass destruction and non-proliferation. Reports that the Kingdom is seeking nuclear, biological or chemical weapons are motivated by malice and have no grounding in the truth.

Debate Redux – cartoon edition
I was wondering whether this lighthearted (ok – silly) cartoon technique would be an effective way of presenting a debate. What do you think of of this redux of the discussion Cirilia and I had about hat knitting awhile back? (I know folks are passionate about their preference on the debated subject).
What might we debate next?

These are pretty cute characters. The relatively passionless voices make you really think about what is being said. Is it really worth debating at all? Perhaps not. Anyway, I like them–they're clever. Perhaps a debate on raglan vs. set-in sleeves (I don't like seaming), or top down/bottom up socks or garments could be created. After all, there are endless topics to debate in knitting.March 8, 2011

WACO (January 24, 2013)—Saying the scientific evidence presented in the original trial was flawed, retired State District Judge George Allen recommended a new trial Thursday for a suburban Waco man sentenced to prison nearly 25 years ago for the fiery deaths of his two adopted sons in 1986
The recommendation, which goes to the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals, comes after experts testified earlier this month that the scientific evidence in Ed Graf's trial was based on a hypothesis that studies have since discredited.
Graf, 60, is seeking a new trial based on modern forensic techniques that could prove he didn't start the Aug. 26, 1986 fire that killed his two adopted sons Joby, 9, and Jason, 8, in the backyard of the family's home in Hewitt.
McLennan County District Attorney Abel Reyna said he agrees that modern fire investigation science called for a new trial.
"We fully expected that the new trial be would be granted," he said.
"We were very pleased that the judge did not go so far as to claim any type of innocence, like the defense wanted," he said.
Should the state's top criminal appeals court agree with the recommendation, it will be up to Reyna to decide whether to retry Graf.
"What will happen is we'll go back and regroup and basically we start from square one," he said.
"We'll start looking, re-investigating, building and rebuilding and we'll make a decision from there," he said.
Graf's attorney, Walter "Skip" Reaves, said he was hoping for more, but is happy that the judge recommended a new trial.
"The only thing it could be an accidental fire," he said.
"It certainly wasn't an intentionally set fire and without that I mean I don't think anything else makes much difference," he said.
"The next thing will be to see him walk out of prison and that'll seal the deal," he said.
The mother of the two boys, Claire Bradburn, however, said she still believes Graf killed her sons.
"We were aware of this, we were expecting this, simply because of the fire forensics, so we regroup, we regroup and we go again," she said.
"We will have to be patient and let the DAs office do their job," she said.
Allen presided over the original trial in 1988 in which Graf was convicted of capital murder after a McLennan County jury found that he set fire to the shed after locking the boys inside.
Investigators and experts for the prosecution told the jury in 1988 that certain patterns found on the floor of the shed could only mean the fire was set with an accelerant.
But recent findings by arson experts may indicate other causes, and Reaves thinks they could lead to a different verdict.
Combustion science expert Douglas James Carpenter of Baltimore testified during a hearing on Jan. 11 in Waco that he thinks the fire started accidentally and he said the doors of the shed had to be open based on the carbon monoxide levels in the lungs of the two boys, not closed as prosecutors maintained during Graf's original trial.
A second witness, arson expert Robert Paul Bieber of San Jose, Calif., testified that he presented Graf's case to 33 top arson investigators who concluded that the findings of the original investigation were unreliable.
Graf's conviction is among between 25 and 50 nationwide involved in a study conducted by New York-based John Jay College, that says that because arson investigations prior to 2005 were flawed, many people convicted of arson murder prior to 2005 could have been wrongly convicted.
It's high science that has to do with burn patterns and findings of the use of accelerants based upon those patterns.

How many will be participating in this as your first woot off?
This is the first I will be straying up for!
15 Answers answer
me. what should i expect during a woot off?
@w00tgurl: IDK, this is the first one I have participated in. I will be abusing my body with snack foods. I got work at a client's office at 0930 PST.
The first rule of Woot-Off is, you do not talk about Woot-Off.
The second rule of Woot-Off is, you DO NOT talk about Woot-Off.
If someone says stop, goes limp, taps out, too bad - the Woot-Off continues.
One item at a time.
No shirts, no shoes?
Woot-Offs will go on as long as they have to (...up to 72hrs)
If this is your first night at Woot-Off, you have to buy a monkey.
@wilcononomous: i've always wanted a monkey. i shall name him Spanky
They get rid of all the overstock and it usually has BOC at sometime in the afternoon of one of the days.
I've noticed some of the more interesting and curiosity arousing items seem to come about an hour after the BoC has gone by, so even if you miss it, stay tuned.
@tiamat114: excited for my first bag-o-crap and a monkey! only on woot can this not be offensive!
No crying if you miss BOC due to operator error or server crash. Second scenario most likely to happen. Good luck and better luck next time.
@xdavex: i missed the monkey
@xdavex: if i missed the monkey, i might as well start crying now!
@w00tgurl: That was a giant monkey, if I were a betting person I would lay odds on screaming monkeys later on.
@rlapid2112: and @wootgurl: That monkey has been offered before, it's not the new monkey. In most Woot-off's there is a new monkey at some point.
What exactly is a Woot off?
@rlapid2112: yah, i figured it out! thank yo :)

Answered: PhoneGap Build produces broken app after upgrading from ST 2.0.1 to ST 2.1.
I have been using PhoneGap Build (PGB), Sencha Architect 2 and ST 2.0.1 for many months now. Everything was going smoothly. As per PhoneGap Build's documentation, the following line is required in index.html in order to include the PhoneGap library that their Build service automatically injects:
<script src="phonegap.js"></script>
After telling Sencha Architect to upgrade my project to ST 2.1, however, the app that PGB produces is just a broken white screen - after the loading screen is finished.
One thing I notice: if I remove the include line above from the index.html file, the app now works - however I am no longer including phonegap.js as PGB tells me I need to do.
So: something about ST 2.1 has broken my ability to use PGB as per their documentation. I call this a bug, as upgrading to 2.0.1 -> 2.1 should not have broken PGB's ability to generate an app for me.
I actually don't have an edited debug-all, I edited my non-debug .js.. here it is anyway; it has all Ext.device.* blocks removed.Attachment 40197
11 Nov 2012 4:18 PM #2
Additional info
Just FYI, PGB's documentation for the phonegap library include can be found here: https://build.phonegap.com/docs/preparing-your-app.
To do so, simply ensure that the following reference is made in your index.html
<script src="phonegap.js"></script>
13 Nov 2012 12:00 AM #3
There's even a growing conversation here: https://groups.google.com/forum/?fro...ap/-7C6Qja7Deo
This is a blocking issue for me. We are going to have to revert to ST2.0.1 as ST2.1 does not allow me to use PGB at all.
13 Nov 2012 2:49 AM #4
Having the same issue
So I upgraded from ST2.0 to ST2.1.
Running my app (which worked 100% using the ST2.0 lib) now produces a white screen with no logging of any errors. After doing some reading, I've tried various (limited) possible solutions out there - Nothing!
This is a serious one I'd say!
13 Nov 2012 3:00 AM #5
Has anyone tried ...Code:
//<debug> Ext.Loader.setConfig({ disableCaching: false }); Ext.Ajax.setDisableCaching(false); Ext.Loader.setPath({ 'Ext': 'lib/sencha-touch-all.js', 'APP_NAME': 'AppNameHere' }); //</debug> ???
13 Nov 2012 3:26 AM #6
Try these
Hi Riyaad,
I had a tonne of issues when upgrading my app from Sencha Touch 2.0.3 to 2.1. Here is what I had to do to get it into a basic working state.
1) In resources/sass/ open config.rb and change 'sdk' in the following line to 'touch'
load File.join(dir, '..', '..', 'sdk', 'resources', 'themes') should become
load File.join(dir, '..', '..', 'touch', 'resources', 'themes')
2) If you are using jsonpcache in any of your stores or models, this will cause errors in the build. I reverted to using just 'jsonp' and the app built ok.
3) If you are using Pull to Refresh this will also cause errors. I have disabled this plugin by commenting it out and the app runs.
4) Make sure you run 'compass watch' from within resources/sass once you have corrected your config.rb file as above
I have put together a fairly comprehensive description of the issues I was having with Sencha Touch 2.1 along with error messages in a separate thread.
Hope this helps,
13 Nov 2012 4:15 AM #7
Hi Mat,
Thank you for your response. I've read your post already. I've also dealt (ie removed) the PullRefresh to accomodate ST2.1, see link. That said, I'm already only using jsonp as ...
proxy: { type: 'jsonp', timeout: 60000, // 1 minute url: 'http://my.url/getdata', reader: { type: 'json', rootProperty: 'rootSchedule' } },
... <script type="text/javascript" src="lib/cordova-2.1.0.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript"> document.addEventListener("deviceready", function () { console.log("Cordova is loaded"); }, false); </script> <script type="text/javascript" src="lib/sencha-touch-all.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="app/app.js"></script> ...
- sencha-touch-all.js &
- cordova-2.1.0.js
I've attached an image to show my setup layout.

Hi Riyad,
Sorry to hear you have been having problems so it seems I am not the only one. Unfortunately, since I am not using PhoneGap build I can't really help you with this.
Are you deploying your app to iOS devices and Android too? I carried out the changes I mentioned before and things started working somewhat.
I carried out 'sencha app build package' and copied the contents of the build directory over to /assets/www in my android project.
Does the app even work in your browser without trying to build?
13 Nov 2012 4:49 AM #9
Hi Mat,
Yes - I'm planning on deploying to both platforms (iOS & Android).
And Yes the app works in my browser ... but not in the PhoneGap build.
Hopefully there'll be a solution out shortly - ST guys are pretty jacked up.

I am practising for the elementary-physics -course Tfy-0.1064, this puzzle is a simplified version of the problem 3A here (sorry not in English). My basic idea here is to understand a scenario with one loop and then understand the solenoid case.
Suppose a circle around the square of 20-cm-side and $\frac{dB}{dt}=35\frac{mT}{s}$ in the circle, please, see the picture below. What is the induced current and the induced $\bar E$ to the square by the circle?

Horses that got loose in Lexington have caused a crash involving three vehicles.
WLEX-TV said the incident occurred around 5:30 a.m. Tuesday on Old Richmond Road. It apparently began when two horses wandered onto the road in the dark and a vehicle struck one of them. Two other vehicles and the second horse also became involved in the accident and one car smashed through a plank fence.
Officials said one of the horses was badly injured. No one in the vehicles was hurt.

Suppose $A$ and $B$ are self-adjoint matrices. Why is it true that
$$Tr(A^2) \le Tr(Ae^{-tB}Ae^{tB})$$
for $t\in\mathbb R$, where $e^x$ denotes the matrix exponential?
Suppose $A$ and $B$ are self-adjoint matrices. Why is it true that
$$Tr(A^2) \le Tr(Ae^{-tB}Ae^{tB})$$
for $t\in\mathbb R$, where $e^x$ denotes the matrix exponential?
Since trace is invariant under conjugation, take $C$ such that $CBC^{-1}$ is diagonal, say $(\lambda_1,\cdots, \lambda_n)$. By replacing $A$ with $CAC^{-1}$, it suffices to show the inequality with $e^{tB} = diag(e^{\lambda_1},\cdots,e^{\lambda_n})$. It then suffices to check a few things
Let $X,Y,Z$ be square matrices of the same size. Denote the commutator $[X,Y]=XY-YX$. Note that $\mathrm{Tr}[X,Y]=0$ and $\mathrm{Tr}(X[Y,Z])=-\mathrm{Tr}([X,Z]Y)$. In particular, $\mathrm{Tr}(X[X,Y])=0$.
Let $A_0=A$, $A_n=[A_{n-1},B]$ for each $n\ge 1$. Let $f(t)=\mathrm{Tr}(Ae^{-tB}Ae^{tB})$, which is an analytic function of $t$ with inifite convergence radius. By induction, it is easy to see that $f^{(n)}(t)=\mathrm{Tr}(Ae^{-tB}A_ne^{tB})$. In particular, $f^{(n)}(0)=\mathrm{Tr}(AA_n)$, so $$f(t)=\sum_{n=0}^\infty \frac{\mathrm{Tr}(AA_n)}{n!}t^n.$$
Let $a_{ij}=\mathrm{Tr}(A_iA_j)$ for $i,j\ge 0$. Then
In particular,
Since both $A$ and $B$ are self-adjoint, by induction, it is easy to see that $A_n$ is self-adjoint when $n$ is even, and it is anti-self-adjoint when $n$ is odd. Therefore, The eigenvalues of $A_n$ are real when $n$ is even and are $0$ or pure imaginary when $n$ is odd. It follows that $a_{0,2n}\ge 0$ for every $n$.
Therefore, in the Taylor expansion of $f(t)$, the coefficients of the odd terms are zero, but the coefficients of the even terms are nonnegative. As a result, the conclusion follows from $f(t)\ge f(0)$.

Thanks for that story, cubanmiamiboy. Sounds as if it wasn't the first time Tilson Thomas had been distracted by a phone or PDA in the front rows.
You're absolutely right, dirac. On my way out after the concert I overheard a conversation which referred to Tilson in a similar situation a year ago, which he resolved just walking off the stage. I don't know what did the musicians did when faced with this challenge...although I was very tempted to ask.

Kent Despite threat of Sandy, Pumpkin Run well attended
The Kent Chamber of Commerce thanks the multitudes of people who came together to make the 36th Kent Pumpkin Run a rousing success. Despite the pending arrival of Hurricane Sandy, more than 100 youngsters participated in the Kids Fun Run, while more than 500 adults ran the five-mile course. There were runners from nine states, and even Great Britain, ranging in age from 6 to 84! These runners also were very generous, donating more than $200 to the Kent Food Bank with their online registrations, along with many boxes of nonperishable food.
Volunteers helped with everything from the starting cannon to painting the finish line. Getting everyone registered and handing out race bibs fell to Darlene Brady, Sharon Cipolla, Bobbie Davis, Jeanne McRoberts, Marge Smith, Lyn Stirnweiss, Bernadette Ellegard and myself, while Maureen Smith greeted and directed the racers. Cindy Dunleavy provided direction at the four-mile split.

The tragic deaths of two infants and a young boy have brought longstanding problems of the Massachusetts Department of Children and Families to the forefront. It's clear that the agency responsible for intervening in family crises is in crisis itself. Given the high stakes involved — the well-being of the commonwealth's children and families — there is no time to waste to address it.
The body of 5-year-old Jeremiah Oliver was discovered recently, following the months-long disappearance of the Fitchburg boy under DCF care. Even before the body was discovered, multiple investigations sought to find out how police were not made aware of the situation — even though Oliver and his relatives had not been seen since September. Three DCF employees were fired and a fourth disciplined in connection with the failure. A social worker assigned to the family missed several visits and opportunities to check on the family.
Then, a 4-week-old baby from Grafton was found dead after DCF misplaced a fax from Grafton police regarding possible harm to the baby. Just this past Saturday, a 2-week-old whose family was being monitored by DCF was pronounced dead at a hospital after her parents brought her there.
Although all three of those deaths occurred in Worcester County, systemic failures at DCF are a statewide problem. Those problems include a caseload crisis — an issue which social workers rallied to call attention to recently in a series of statewide protests. From March 2013 to March 2014, caseloads were up from 30,006 to 35,066, but staffing levels did not increase. In Fall River, there was a 25.7 percent increase in cases during that time — from 1,125 to 1,428 cases. But social worker staffing not only didn't keep up, it decreased by nearly 7 percent.
Meanwhile, communication remains a problem in the agency, with outdated technology only further hampering DCF's ability to stay on top of cases. There is no good reason staff in this day and age should not be able to access real-time data and share information between agencies. At least partially due to the fact no one at DCF received or acted on a fax from the Grafton Police Department regarding possible harm to 4-week-old Aliana Lavigne, the baby was found dead. This is unacceptable. In 2014, why are police departments still using faxes to alert DCF to potentially life and death situations?
Fortunately, there are some positive developments under way to fix this broken agency. More staff have been brought on in recent months. The Legislature and the Patrick Administration have secured $2.8 million in supplemental funding for the department, with an additional $9.2 million proposed to hire and train more staff and give the agency a much-needed technology upgrade.
With new leadership to be installed following the resignation of embattled DCF Commissioner Olga Roche and new reforms bolstered by more funding being put into place, DCF has an opportunity to turn over a new leaf. The agency ought to develop an immediate action plan to initiate further reforms as quickly as possible. DCF has a responsibility to reform so that it is properly equipped to protect the precious young lives and vulnerable families it is charged with protecting.

- Preheat the oven to 475�F (245�C). Put a heavy baking sheet in the oven to get hot. (They both need to be really hot before cooking the pizza.)
- Place the dough on a floured surface and use a rolling pin to roll it out as thin as you can-about 10-12in (25-30cm) in diameter. Brush the hot baking sheet with oil, sprinkle with semolina, and carefully place the dough on top.
- Prick the dough all over with a fork, then scatter the rosemary, garlic, and plenty of salt over the top and pat flat. Drizzle with olive oil, then bake for 10 minutes or until crispy.
- Sprinkle with mozzarella torn into pieces, or with crumbled blue cheese.
- If you make pizza often, invest in a pizza stone-then your crust will always be wonderfully crispy.
