It's not always easy to get the men in your life to the doctor for regular check-ups, but it is important.
Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men and the second leading cause of death in American men. Saturday hundreds came out to the Men's Health Alliance program in Greenwood Mall. Health professionals were on hand to talk about the prevention and treatment of Prostate Cancer and Testicular Cancer.
And some participants took part in a blood screening for Prostate Cancer. Screenings are recommended for men over the age of 50. If you missed the Men's Health Alliance Program then you can call (270) 745-0942 to schedule a screening or 1-877-800-3824 for more information.

Who is at Risk for Prostate Cancer?
Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in North American men after skin cancer. It is the second leading cause of cancer death in men after lung cancer.
Both the number of new cases of prostate cancer and the number of deaths due to prostate cancer have increased in the past decade.
Anything that increases a person's chance of developing a disease is called a risk factor. Some of these risk factors for prostate cancer are:
- Age - Prostate cancer is rarely seen in men younger than 50-years-old. The chance of developing prostate cancer increases as men get older.
Race - Black males are more likely to develop prostate cancer than white males. Black males are also more likely to die of prostate cancer than white males.
Family History of Prostate Cancer - A man whose father, brother, or son has had prostate cancer has a higher-than-average risk of developing prostate cancer.
Other potential risk factors include alcohol consumption, vitamin or mineral interactions, and other dietary habits.

My 1st post here and I am about to buy the NN3 in a few days. But before doing that, I just want to make sure that my current gears will be fully usable wiith NN3. My current gears are:
Camera: Pentax K10d
Lens: Pentax 50mm and Pentax 18-250mm
Tripod head: Manfrotto 488RC2
Are these gonna work with NN3 or do I have to buy some accessories. I have an upcoming vacation in 2 weeks and I'll be bringing the set with me.
Kind regards.

If someone has not been doing a specific action for a while, you can say he "lost his grip" (got out of practice).
But what about the other direction, when you want to say that a person is new and must start practicing in order to get a handle on the work, I am quite sure I have heard something similar, most likely with the word "grip". I was thinking about "get grip on" but not sure if this can be used.

Let $\mathbf{D}$ be the unit disk, is $$\inf_{\begin{array}{c} v_{1},v_{2},v_{3},v_{4}\in\mathbf{D},\\ v_{0}\in\mbox{convexhull}\left(v_{1},v_{2},v_{3},v_{4}\right) \end{array}}\max_{0\le i,j,k\le4}\frac{\mbox{perimeter}\left(\triangle v_{i}v_{j}v_{k}\right)}{\mbox{area}\left(\triangle v_{i}v_{j}v_{k}\right)} $$no less than $$\min_{v_{0},v_{1},v_{2},v_{3},v_{4}\in\partial\mathbf{D}}\max_{0\le i,j,k\le4}\frac{\mbox{perimeter}\left(\triangle v_{i}v_{j}v_{k}\right)}{\mbox{area}\left(\triangle v_{i}v_{j}v_{k}\right)}? $$
I think it is not hard to see that the second quantity is minimized by the regular pentagon. First, using Günter's observation, the problem is equivalent to find
$$\max_{v_{0},v_{1},v_{2},v_{3},v_{4}\in\partial\mathbf{D}} \min_{0\le i,j,k\le4} \mbox{inradius}(v_i,v_j,v_k).$$
If we don't have a regular pentagon, then there are 3 points who are contained in an arc whose length is strictly less than $4\pi/5$, suppose they are $v_1,v_2,v_3$ in this order. The $\mbox{inradius}(v_1,v_2,v_3)$ is maximized if $v_2$ is halfway between $v_1$ and $v_3$. So this quantity will be less than the inradius of three consecutive vertices of the pentagon, which is less than the inradius of three non-consecutive vertices of the pentagon.


text: So I just found out that the new Cartoon Network series 'Teen Titans Go' will be airing for the first time this month. Here is the beautiful, vibrant Starfire. Drawing Starfire in this chibi like style is going to be so fun and easy. I watched a preview for the new animated series, and I have to say that it looks like it's going to be good. I chuckled a bit with just the preview, can you imagine what I would do if I watched the whole episode? Anyways enjoy this tut and you have yourself a good time.

Hello everybody,
I would like to know witch is the good position of the CP on my Nikon D90
Thank you
Hello everybody,
I would like to know witch is the good position of the CP on my Nikon D90
Thank you
I dont know how to insert pictures on the post....
Try again... sorry
So wich is the good one between this two pictures
I only can try to imagine what you think of, cause both pictures are the same.
The base plate of the CP-2 is devided in 1/3 2/3 concerning the white mark on it. The position of the big yellow screw is the same.
You may mount it visa versa. I call this "long side to the lens, LSL, or short side to the lens, SSL".
The way you have to set up, depends on the upper rail setting you need for your camera lens combination. For example: if you need an upper rail set of 37 on NN5, it is SSL. If you need 132 on the NN5, it should be LSL.
For the NN3 you may use the following settings: SSL , you can use 96 to 32 upper rail settings with normal knob, 20 with small screw. LSL 106 to 52. To avoid to take the CP-2 apart taking panorama photos on the set, I have bought a second CP-2 and mounted them visa versa. Then I just change the different mounted sets if I need to change from SSL to LSL.
Was this your question?
Thank you hindenhaag for your answer....
So now an other (stupid?) question....
The settings (on nodal website) are calculated for LSL or SSL CP position?
I use an nikon D90 with a 10.5 nikon and a 18-105 nikon and I'm not very satisfied of the result of my pano...
Maybe it's because I dont use the good position of CP
There are no stupid questions...
CP: Does not matter whether you mount it LSL or SSL because the reference point for the CP is the white mark in line with the yellow tripod mount screw. This does not change its position, whatever position you use. WHich side you have to mount to the lens is preset by your upper rail setting. Example: 50mm with D3 on NN5 needs 38, for this you have to mount it SSL.
To have a shorter site of the CP - 2:3 in length in reference to the yellow screw - offers you to set the camera to positions nearer to the ends of the rails.
So the question : Does my pano have bad quality because I used the "wrong position" of CP? NO!
LRS for D90 NN3 is 56, NN5 55. YOU have to check these settings with your own equipment, cause there might be small differences in the combinations.
18-105VR : first zoom, second UPS : 18 100, 24 94, 35 88, 50 78, 70 66, 105 29. For 105 you have to get another screw and replace the normal knob, which is too thick in diameter to reach this setting.
10.5 mm : 81, aperture 8, focus 0.5 set to aperture 8
If you like just send you photos and I will try to stitch.
To make sure that you are rotating the camera about the correct point, move the camera along the lower rail so that the centre of the lens is verticaly above the centre of rotation of the Nodal ninja, and move the upper rail so that the gold ring on your 10.5 mm lens is in line with the axis of rotation.
I have measured the point of rotation for a Nilon 18-200mm VR lens, which is 32mm back from the front rim of the lens.
I don't know how this compares with the 18-105mm lens, but it may be a good starting point.
I use a Nikon 10.5mm lens on a D60 and used one on a D300 last week and find that PTGui will usually give a good result with 8 horizontal images at 45° plus 2 zenith images at 90°, but have had trouble with this if there is a lack of detail in the common overlap between the set of 8 horizontal images and 2 zenith images.
To ensure I get a good result I now take 4 images with the camera tilted up by 45° or 50° at 90° intervals as well as the 8 horizontal images at 45°.
To reduce the "hole" at the nadir I sometimes tilt the camera down by 10° for the 8 images.
You may like to look at my web site for more information:
Best regards, Hugh.

Ext.Direct PHP backend
Found a few bugs when working with Ext-3.1.0 (my mistakes, not Ext's). Updated the zip file. You should be able to unzip into your examples directory (in your Ext install), and run from there.
Biggest change was due to my incorrect handling of the formHandler value required by the API. So that the API generator can detect that a particular method is a form handler, you need to add frmHandler to your method name. You can see the comments in the Profile.php class file. There was really no way that I could see of getting that info using Reflections. Someone smarter than me may have a better idea here.
Remember the main goal (at least for me) was to simply write the php code, and then have the config and api generated from the classes, instead of having to manually create and maintain them.
Demo is working with 3.1 just fine, and the demo link below has been updated to the Ext-3.1.0 version.
Missed a variable name change in the before and after calls.
Fixed router for multiple arguments in actions (finally). I misunderstood what was happening there. But this should be good to go now.
Zip has been updated.
Demo here.
Fixed router to better handle parameters
Update demo page (with form, and tree examples)
Updated the attachment with latest changes.
Fixed router to handle parameters properly
Fixed utils to handle multiple server action classes
Updated the attachment with latest changes.
Ext.Direct PHP backend
First I am not a developer, more of a guy that likes to hack around. So this is by no means and end all solution. In fact, it might just be drivel. But while working with the examples and attempting to see how I could do some comet long polling stuff, I have re-worked the PHP backend for Ext.Direct just a bit.
Might want to save your originals before unzipping.

**Updated*** So that this is more functional (the previous post is blah)
First thing to note however, is if you need a really robust solution, I would suggest looking at Tommy's solution here. So maybe this should be viewed as a "Lite" implementation.
I was looking for something a little more lightweight and less involved. So I completely rewrote the previous approach. This now supports the len, and the before and after calls. All you do is build your actions class in PHP, and plop it in the proper directory. I used this reference as a guide for working with Reflections in PHP.
The router.php is very similar to the example one provided with the release. I have added some comments, but the only portion that I really altered was the RPC portion. That has been completely redone.
baseAPI.php has been replaced by extBaseProvider.php and there is now a small additional utils.php file.
The attachment can be unzipped in the examples/direct/ directory (make a backup of yours first). Be sure to read the embedded comments for additional info. Maybe this will help someone. Just thought I would share.Thanks!

Since I never heard anything on this and now that we have some better examples with 3.0RC2, there is one change that is needed in the utils.php to support multiple server side action classes. Red code is removed, Blue is the replacement.
utils.ph - function buildAPI
function buildAPI($myObj) { $myClass = new ReflectionClass($myObj); $myProp = array(); $data = array(); foreach(array_values($myClass->getProperties()) as $property) { if ($property->isPublic()) { $propName = $property->name; $propValue = $property->getValue($myObj); if ((!is_object($propValue))&&(!is_array($propValue))) { $data[$propName] = $propValue; } else { // Added this bit, in the event that this // should be an array (which I think it should be // but for now will leave as is) // if (is_object($propValue)) { $data[$propName] = getActions($propValue); } elseif (is_array($propValue)) { foreach($propValue as $obj) { $data[$propName][] = getActions($obj); if (!array_key_exists($propName, $data)) { $data[$propName] = getActions($obj); } else { $data[$propName] = array_merge($data[$propName], getActions($obj)); } } } else { die("Unexpected data type encountered..."); } } } } return $data; }
Once this change is in place, all of the new demos work.Thanks!

Another small update to the router when passing more than one parameter.
Updated the demo page here, all using this interface.
Updated the zip on the first post.Thanks!

Multiple parameters
I am experiencing weird behaviour using this backend.
The problem persists if I want to have more than one parameter,for example if they are two, then first parametr received have both sent values comma separated, and second is undefined..
Any ideas?
PHP Code:
class TestClass{
public function doEcho($data, $second_parameter){
return 'DATA- '.$data.' second_parameter- '.$second_parameter;
handler: function(){ TestClass.doEcho(text.getValue(), 'value2', function(result, e){ ...
Warning: Missing argument 2 for TestClass::doEcho(), called in /router.php on line 190 and defined in TestClass.php on line 4

Notice: Undefined variable: second_parameter in TestClass.php on line 5

{"type":"rpc","tid":2,"action":"TestClass","method":"doEcho","result":"DATA- hello,value2 second_parameter- "}
Thanks in advance.

Your Ext.Direct PHP back-end demo is fascinating
Thank you so much for this contribution. I wanted to learn from your example and saw that the TaskAction.php file inside php-lite.zip is missing these functions: updateChart, fileList, startBG and chkLoad. Anyway, I got this to work. This is what I created for startBG and chkLoad for the progress bar -- the 2 functions I was interested in.
PHP Code:
public function startBG($dummy)
// generate a 20 digit task id
list($usec, $sec) = explode(' ', microtime());
$taskid = $sec . substr($usec, 2, 6) . rand(1000, 9999);
// change this to c:/<path>/... if running under windows
$statFile = '/tmp/stat-' . $taskid;
$dataFile = '/tmp/data-' . $taskid;
// set progress to 0 initially
file_put_contents($statFile, 0);
// build command string for background task
$cmd = '/usr/bin/php tasks/bg_task.php';
$cmd .= " --stat='{$statFile}' --data='{$dataFile}'";
// run the task in the background -- two examples are shown -- I used shell_exec here
## exec("{$cmd} >/dev/null 2>&1 &");
$pid = rtrim(shell_exec("nohup {$cmd} >/dev/null 2>&1 & echo $!"));
// return paths for the stat and data files
$send = "{$statFile},{$dataFile}";
public function chkLoad($statFile, $dataFile)
while (!file_exists($statFile)) {
$progress = file_get_contents($statFile);
if ($progress < 100) {
} else {
$answer = file_get_contents($dataFile);
return("Done: The answer to the question is {$answer}!");
PHP Code:
$c = 1;
while (isset($argv[$c])) {
if (preg_match('/^--stat=/', $argv[$c])) {
list($arg, $statFile) = explode('=', $argv[$c], 2);
else if (preg_match('/^--data=/', $argv[$c])) {
list($arg, $dataFile) = explode('=', $argv[$c], 2);
if (!isset($statFile) || !isset($dataFile)) {
echo "usage: {$argv[0]} --stat=<statfile> --data=<datafile>\n";
// let's simulate a long running process
usleep( 750000); file_put_contents($statFile, 9);
usleep(1500000); file_put_contents($statFile, 29);
usleep(1500000); file_put_contents($statFile, 49);
usleep(1500000); file_put_contents($statFile, 69);
usleep(1500000); file_put_contents($statFile, 89);
usleep( 750000); file_put_contents($statFile, 99);
// write the answer to the data file
file_put_contents($dataFile, 42);
// let's simulate some clean up time and state 100% afterwards
usleep(1750000); file_put_contents($statFile, 100);

Hi Meroy!
Ya, I did not supply those routines mainly because you would have to make specific changes to accommodate whatever type of OS you were running on. Unfortunately my little sandbox is running Windows.
What you came up with is very close to what I threw together.
Remember this is just for testing and providing a demo. More care should be taken if implementing in a production environment. Here is my TestAction.php
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// class TestAction { //////////////////////////////////////// // // before and after functions are not exposed to Ext.Direct, however // the router will pick up these two key named functions and // call them as thier names suggest. // // before - is called before the requested method // after - is called after the requested method // // Note: These are at the action class level. // Meaning that if either before or after are defined they will // be executed EVERYTIME ANY function within this action class is called // // By passing in the function that is to be called, you can put a test // for certain methods, in the event that you may not want to do // any pre or post processing for select methods (basically allowing // you to do pre/post processing at the Action Class level and the // the function called level. // //////////////////////////////////////// public function after($method, $data) { $myAfter = array(); // Add as needed if ($method == "multiply") { // POST processing for the multiply function // Would go in here. $myAfter['type'] = "event"; $myAfter['name'] = "message"; $myAfter['data'] = "POST Processing - AFTER Multiply"; } // POST processing for TestAction Class // Would go here return ($myAfter); } public function before($method, $data) { $myBefore = array(); // Add as needed if ($method == "multiply") { // PRE processing for the multiply function // Would go in here. $myBefore['type'] = "event"; $myBefore['name'] = "message"; $myBefore['data'] = "PRE Processing - BEFORE Multiply"; } // PRE processing for TestAction Class // Would go here return ($myBefore); } //////////////////////////////////////// // // All the functions here can be // called by Ext.Direct // //////////////////////////////////////// public function multiply($factor) { if (is_array($factor)) { $num = $factor[0]; } else { $num = $factor; } return ($num*9); } public function doEcho($data) { $pre = "ECHO:"; if (is_array($data)) { $echo = $data[0]; } else { $echo = $data; } return ($pre.$echo); } public function fileList($data) { if (is_array($data)) { $path = $data[0]; } else { $path = $data; } $list = scandir($path); return ($list); } public function startBG($data) { // Fire off the background process // and return the status handle for // future checks if (preg_match("/Win/", php_uname('s'))) { // All things required in Windows to start // a background process $UNIQUE = str_replace('.','',microtime(true)); $TITLE = "\"myProcess\" "; $SHELL = "start "; $NOWIN = "/B "; // PHP executable to run a // PHP script from the command shell $PHP = "c:/php/php.exe"; // Back Ground Process to kick off $BGP = "c:/bg-processes/bgProcess.php"; // Files that will act as named pipes // $STAT = "c:/pipes/stat-".$UNIQUE; $DATA = "c:/pipes/data-".$UNIQUE; $ARGS = $BGP."

Deseret News best of 2012: Family life
Josh Stauffer, Megan Pilling Kemp and John Pedersen don't know each other. Their stories don't seem to have much in common.
Stauffer is a high school student trying to undo mistakes after nearly losing himself to substance abuse. Kemp has advanced breast cancer and is trying to build lasting memories with her young daughter. Pedersen is a young dad trying to do everything right with his own kids despite the lack of powerful role models as he grew up.
Their stories, which are among those I've had the privilege of telling this year, share a theme. They are all about family. That's my beat at the Deseret News.
Families are the glue that holds society together. Though those bonds can be fragile, broken, mending or strong, the human experience with family resonates, and we can learn from and help each other.
We've offered our readers stories that cross the spectrum from practical advice about when it's time for an elderly person to relinquish the car keys to an in-depth look at the pressures facing boys and young men today in school and from the media. We have dealt with sensitive topics like suicide and shared the sorrow of a mother whose toddler fell from a window to his death.
The pressures on family have never been more intense or the stakes higher. From a purely structural perspective, fewer couples are getting married, though sociology experts say that's the best family structure for children to thrive. Moreover, fewer couples are having children, and many are having fewer children. Look to middle age and beyond, and more people are choosing to go it alone. Safety nets are being strained and sometimes tattered. Governments wrestle with the very definition of what family is.
What happens in families writes the future.
The stories they've shared this year have left me pondering the meaning and impact of family and what we learn from each other. I can't wait to see whom we all meet in 2013.

Agreed, families are the glue to society..but what is it about families that binds. To me it's love, trust, and commitment. These three characteristics engender many binding behaviors but none of these characteristics are dependent on gender, age, demographics, or any combination thereof so if we are truly concerned about family we'd concentrate on how to build a society that encourages and enhances love, trust, and commitment, and drop the fascination with who and how...it really doesn't matter.

I believe that feeling the love of God towards mankind in general, and to me
personally, helps me in my role as a son, husband and father. I am acutely aware
of my imperfections. But, as a father, I have learned that though I am also
acutely aware of my own childrens' imperfections, I love them, and want the
best for them.
This has helped me to understand how God, whom I believe is literally the father of my spirit, likewise, loves imperfect me, likewise wanting me to be happy. True happiness never comes without goodness. Being honest, loyal, kind, and showing consideration for others' feelings, desires, etc, helps me or anyone to be endeared by and to others.
I did not always like what my parents said or did. But I knew they loved me, and wanted me to be happy. Learning to forgive them for all the wrongs I felt they had done me (many 'wrongs' were just my perceptions), helped me a lot as an adult to get on with a happier life as an adult. Trying to be just and fair to others, and also being merciful to others are important things for that glue.

No,civility hods society together. Be the best dad, but hate your neighbor because they are a Democrat, or a Ute.... or a foreigner... society suffers regardless of how you treat your family, or what calling you have.

Family is the glue that keeps society together, and these families come in all shapes and sizes. Some have only one parent, some have two adults of the same gender plus kids, some families are made up of grandparents with a couple of grandchildren living with them. Shame on people and news organizations that demonize families who look differently than what their narrow minds allow. God bless the families that are persecuted by narrow-minded.

IMO, one is civil because one has love for one's fellow beings, beginning with one's closest, one's family. How can one love their fellow beings whom they know less, if they can't love the ones they know more?
I like this refrain from the song, "The Farmer and the Cowboy (Should Be Friends)" (from OKLAHOMA)—
I don't say I'm no better than anybody else,
But I'll be (darned) if I ain't jist as good!
Both, not just one or the other, go together. One who acts lovingly towards their neighbor should also love one's family (though that at times seems difficult for many to do).
And BlueDevilDemon, who said anything about one's 'calling'. I have relatives and friends who can't get along with their family, and have seen many a celebrity who claims or feigns love of all men, but can't stay married to one person.
But, I'm not advocating one over the other. Both are necessary. You're beating on some straw man in your mind, evidently.

@Diligent Dave - not sure how my comments were offensive, but evidently they are
offending you some how. Now sure how they became "straw man" , but what
the hey.
My comments come from for a while I had a calling where I served people out at a local federal prison, Butner. This is the current home of notables like Bernie Madoff. And he is an excellent example. He deeply loves his family.... and yet had no respect for his fellow man.
I would contend that if one respects there fellow humans, the chances of having a loving family life is pretty much assured. On the other hand, there are numerous examples of good "family" men, who while appearing to being good family men, act in ways that create deep hurt and pain in their families.
If you honestly have respect for all, and act civilly, you have great odds of a good family life. The inverse on the other hand, eventually dooms most marriages and families. Placing self above others will destroy our society... we superiority complexes here, all the time.

Bernie Madoff is indeed a prime example of what I mean. You said, he loves his family dearly, and yet his actions apparently led to so many problems for one of his sons that that son committed suicide. Again, as I said, loving one's family and loving one's fellow beings are neither mutually exclusive, nor can ultimately be done to one but not the other (or shouldn't be).
But, tell me, what makes you have respect "for all"? I'd like to know. Because I have my motivations for what I do. And I know that they flow from my feelings of myself, and toward my family members, as well as to all others. I feel all are important. But, I repeat, again, that how can one truly love one's more distant neighbors, as it were, whom they know least, if they do not correctly treat respectfully, even lovingly, their closest neighbors, so to speak, their family?
I was not offended by your comments. But, for lack of other commentary, I gathered your remarks were supposedly somehow in response to mine. That I responded, doesn't mean I was offended. I was merely trying to clarify.

@Dave.... no worries.. comments were not aimed at anyone in particular, simple
my musing from my life experience. I travel to the far reaches of the world
right now - I am the middle of doing analytics for of all things, deep well
exploration for oil and gas companies. I get to travel to such locals as UAE,
Saudi Arabia, and Angola. The one key thing I have found to feeling very safe
in all these locations, it to smile at everyone, and show respect to all. You
don't need to know someone to assure them that you respect them no matter
their faith, economic state or politics. Many locals think I am crazy, but they
clearly understand I am no threat.
Where you and I differ, and it is a nuance, is I think civility leads to a strong family, and is a circular action. One doesn't need to have a family to be civil, but being civil can lead to a strong family. Thats all I was trying to say, all be it very poorly.
Merry Christmas......

in a previous question asked here:how-to-create-a-hexagon-world-map @Tim Holt has provided code that does the job that i'm wanted to do, the only difference I would like is to have it as squares rather than hex. Is this easy to convert, or is there a better way? thank you.
I didn't look too closely, but the code in that answer was heavily involved with hex calculations -- like figuring out where the mouse is pointing on the hex grid. This is trivial if the tile is a square, you wouldn't even need to examine this carefully. The same would be true for most of that code. So I suggest starting from scratch, but using the concepts / code you need from that example if you find yourself stuck.
Start with a 2 dimensional array, each element containing a value for the type of tile it is and which directly maps to actual tile images with a set width defined as a constant somewhere.

Mopar Six-Pack Tuning - Triple TuneWritten by on January 1, 2008 Settin' Up A Six Pack With Ease
Just what is it about a Six Pack setup that gearheads find so cool? Yes, they are synonymous with some of Mopar's most powerful engines. Sure, they are one of the most desirable original options. And there's no mistaking their roar when you open them up. Still, few would argue that it's easier to tune a single four-barrel, and most would likely admit that you can get better performance that way.
It's not that they don't work well, because they really do. Even for a radical big-block, 1,350 cfm is plenty of air. It's just that on anything but a stocker (and even then sometimes), they can be a real hassle to get finely tuned. The major stumbling block with this setup is that it, well, has a tendency to stumble when you stab the pedal hard. Part of the problem is the outboard carbs use a fixed metering plate that doesn't have replaceable jets, and they are a vacuum design that lacks accelerator pumps. If the outboards come in too quick, you can experience a slight hesitation. If you hold them back a little, you can avoid the stumble but sacrifice power. Imagine trying to throw open a 1,000-cfm four-barrel with no accelerator pump, and you begin to understand the issue.
Now, if you add a performance camshaft, improve the heads' flow characteristics, and bolt on a free-flowing exhaust, you can count on having to fatten things up a bit in the fuel delivery department. Unfortunately, the only way to do that with the outboard carburetors' stock metering plates is to find ones with different size orifices (have fun with that one), or to carefully drill out the stock plates until you get to where you need to be. That will work, but it's a real pain in the rear to do, and you can't back up if you go too far with the drill size.
Of course, you can't just ignore the idle mixture in this process. The correct idle settings are more critical than you think in order to get the outboard carbs on line smoothly. The center carb is easy since it has a normal metering block, and you can get access to the front idle screws easily, but to get at the rear idle mixture screws, you have to remove the carb. Again, you can do this, but you can imagine the frustration of trying to adjust a carburetor off the engine.
This was the situation the guys at Muscle Car Restorations encountered with Ed Nasser's T/A. Ed's 440 had been rebuilt with a set of Edelbrock aluminum heads and a Comp Cams 298/288 degree/.528 lift cam; tti headers were installed. While the carbs worked great during the Mustang dyno tune, they did stumble a bit out on the street, so Ed obtained a ProMax conversion kit made specifically for the '69-'71 Mopar Six Packs.
Promax manufactures billet replacement metering plates for the outboard carburetors that use standard Holley main jets, and a replacement baseplate that has angled idle screws that are accessible while the rear carb is mounted on the manifold. Ed also had the guys at MCR install one of the Promax billet metering blocks on the center carb.
As expected, when the car was hooked up to the O2 meter, it showed the carburetors were running a little lean and some adjustments needed to be made. The center carburetor was not that far off-just one size up, from a 65 jet size to a 66. But the outboard carburetors jumped from a staggered 78/82 configuration to 84s at all four locations. Now when you mash the pedal on this big-block, it shows no signs of timidity. It just goes!
More Photos From This Article View Slideshow
The Promax metering plate uses standard Holley main jets; the rear carburetor's baseplate has angled idle mixture screws that allow the outboard carbs to be tuned as easily as the center one.The factory presets the idle screws on the outboard carburetors and then puts a lead plug over them. Pull the plugs and you can adjust them normally. The screws on the front carb are accessible under the fuel bowl so you won't need a Promax throttle plate for the front carb, though one would make it easier to get at the front mixture screws.The Promax baseplate is shipped without the throttle shaft or plates, so you will need to swap in the ones from your original base. Just don't forget to use a thread locker or stamp the ends of the screws so they can't come out.With angled idle mixture screws, there is no need to remove the rear carb to make idle adjustments; the rear carb can be adjusted while on the manifold with the engine running.The billet metering plate is a direct replacement for the nonadjustable (except with a drill bit) pot metal factory version. All you need is a supply of Holley main jets.The factory metering plates are not only nonadjustable, they also sometimes come with staggered jetting holes. On this plate, the driver's side was a number 82 size orifice, but the passenger side was a 78. As it turns out, Ed's 440 preferred the same jetting on both sides.Promax also machines a billet metering block for the center carburetor that will allow you to build your own performance fuel curve. This one worked great right out of the box on Ed's 440. the Promax version does not have a ported vacuum nipple for vacuum advance. If you want to connect the vacuum can on your distributor, you will need to stick with the stock metering block.Though it's not necessary, if you grind a little notch into the driver's side of the fuel bowl, it will be a little easier to access that idle screw.

Call for Summer 2016 Schedule of Classes
Departments can ensure that students have: (1) completed or are enrolled in certain courses; (2) a certain major or minor; (3) been accepted into teacher education; (4) a minimum GPA; (5) a minimum classification, (6) a minimum grade in a specified course; and (7) a pre- or co-requisite for a given course.
All prerequisites should be indicated in the system in the Class Notes for each section scheduled. The Office of the Registrar will use these notes to ensure the coding of the prerequisites is set up as indicated by the department. Prerequisites should follow the catalog, and all such identified prerequisites will be setup by the Office of the Registrar to be enforced by the system. Items that are not intended to be enforced as requisites should clearly indicate that students are advised to have met the conditions specified; this will signify that the statements are advisory rather than enforced prerequisites.
Priority Codes
Once priority codes are entered they are not term specific and are applied in perpetuity until we receive notification that the priority code is no longer valid. This means that any priority registration codes that have been set up since the switch to PeopleSoft are currently active and will remain so every term. This is due to the extensive process of entering priority codes in SIS. It is important to include priority registration codes in the Notes Tab of the appropriate sections so that students are aware of the priority prerequisite.
Enrollment Capacity and Requested Room Capacity
The Enrollment Capacity (optimum) can be used as a tool to control enrollment in course sections. This item is maintainable by departments and determines when a section is full. The Requested Room Capacity (maximum) represents the maximum number of students allowed into the course and serves as a reference when updating the Enrollment Capacity (optimum number). Both of these items are initially set up in the Enrollment Cntrl tab of the schedule of classes set up pages. After the deadline for submitting schedules, the Enrollment Capacity may continue to be managed by academic departments using the Class Enrollment Limits tab of the Update Sections of a Class Page. Note: The Enrollment Capacity cannot exceed the Requested Room Capacity.
Advising Holds - Service Indicators
For departments that require students to see their advisor prior to registration, Service Indicators will be set up. We can continue to allow departments to have flexibility in placing advising hold service indicators based on major type (prospective or declared) or classification. Please notify the Office of the Registrar as soon as possible if there are any changes to your department policy in regards to advisor holds.
Advisors will remove the advising hold service indicators for their advisees on the Manage Service Indicator screen.
Primary Instructors:
It is important that you designate only one instructor as the primary instructor for each course. The primary instructor should be the only instructor set up with an Instructor Role of "Prim Instr," and the only instructor with Grading Access of "Approve." "Approve" access allows both grading and approving of the grades for the course. Grades will continue to be posted to students' records the date they are due from faculty through a batch process run by the Office of the Registrar. Only Primary Instructors will have access to eLearning.
Other Instructors:
Additional instructors and graduate assistants may be designated as either a secondary instructor (select "Sec Instr" for the Instructor Role) or teaching assistant (select "TA" for the Instructor Role) on the Instructor for Meeting Pattern section of the Meetings tab. You have the option of granting "Grade" or no access (leave the Access blank for no access) to all instructors other than the primary instructor. For more information, please click here.
As you add sections and select instructors for courses, you will find that rather than searching the entire University instructor list, your list will be narrowed to those instructors who teach out of your department/academic organization, as well as those who have taught the course in your area even if they are not in your department. If someone outside your department is teaching a course for the first time, please contact Megan Wheeler to have the new instructor added to the list of possible instructors for your department. In general, new instructors can be added to your department's academic organization by completing the New Instructor Set-Up Request Form. Please contact us with any information you have about instructors who are no longer active so that we may perform some cleanup work on your available instructor list. Note: There is no change in process for adding instructors who are completely new to UNI.
The instructor, print box, and grading access, must be populated on all meeting patterns. The contact minutes/workload should only be populated on the first meeting pattern associated with a particular instructor. If a course with multiple meeting patterns is taught by the same instructor, the instructor must be listed on all patterns in order to view all meeting patterns on their Faculty Center Weekly Schedule. However, please keep in mind that the Print box should be unchecked on all but the first meeting pattern (per instructor) within the Meetings tab.
Contact Minutes and Load Factor
Contact minutes and load factor (percent of the load attributed to each instructor) need to be designated to support the tracking of faculty workload. Each credit hour of a lecture-based course equates to 50 contact minutes. As an example, a 3 unit lecture course taught by two instructors who share the load equally would show both instructors having 75 contact minutes and 50.0000 in the load factor. In classes that utilize graduate assistants as part of the instruction, departments need to include these individuals in the contact minutes and load factor as you would regular faculty. Another example, a 4 unit course (3 hours of lecture and 1 hour of lab) taught by the same instructor would show 150 contact minutes for the lecture meeting pattern and 100 minutes for the lab meeting pattern. It is imperative to record faculty work load as accurately as possible. For more information on instruction types and minimum number of meeting minutes, please click here.
Course Attributes
Certain course attributes will default from catalog information, and others need to be set up by the departments. The following are the course attributes that need to be set up by departments in the system as sections are built for the schedule of classes (other course attributes will be defaulted from the catalog):
Course Attribute Type
Course Attribute Value(s)
When to Add This Course Attribute to a Course Section
Record Code (RCCD)
Resdential Course (RE)
When a course section is a residential course held on campus.
Extension Course (EX)
When a course section is offered through Extension.
Guided Independent Study (GIS)
When a course section is offered through Guided Independent Study
Organized Course Indicator (ORG)
Organized Course (ORGANIZED)
When a course section meets on a regular basis; do not add this course attribute to sections without a meeting time where students work in an independent manner and/or meeting times are arranged.
Honors Course Indicator (HON)
Honors Course (HONORS)
When a course section is designated for Honors Students Only.
Writing Enhanced Indicator (WREN)
Writing Enhanced (WRITINGEN)
When a course section is designated as a Writing Enhanced section.
Supplemental Instruction (SI)
Supplemental Instruction (SUPPLINSTR)
When a course section is part of a non-remedial academic assistance program through the Academic Learning Center.
Experimental, Studies In, Seminars, and Topics Courses
New experimental courses will require set up by the Office of the Registrar at the catalog level in the system before they can be scheduled. The Experimental Course Approval Form should be completed, approved, and forwarded to Megan Wheeler in the Office of the Registrar as soon as possible.
Course sections that require a new course title not used in the past will also require set up by the Office of the Registrar at the catalog level before they can be scheduled. For courses such as Studies In, Seminars, and other courses with specific topics, a New Course Title Form has been created. Please use the New Course Title Form to submit requests for new course titles to Megan Wheeler right away.
It is important that departments send information to the Office of the Registrar about these courses using the appropriate forms as soon as they're known. This will allow time for the creation of the courses by the Office of the Registrar at the catalog level, and addition of courses to the schedule of classes, prior to the deadline for entry of schedules. The Office of the Registrar will notify you as soon as the courses are set up at the catalog level and ready for entry at the schedule level.
Note: When setting up courses, make sure to have unique section numbers for each class. For example, ELEMECML 4186, for multiple topics - each topic must have its own unique section number (01, 02, 03, etc.).
Cross-Listed Courses and Combined Sections
Combined sections are used in two situations:
- Former cross-listed course sections where different course numbers were scheduled to meet at the same time and place, and share enrollment limits. This is the group of course sections that were coded as cross-listed in the old system. For all course sections that you would have indicated coding as cross-listing and sharing limits, the Office of the Registrar will need to set up the combined section. Please contact Marissa Timmerman with a list of these course sections.
- Former 100g level course sections - Must be set up in the SIS by setting up the undergraduate and the graduate subject and catalog number using the same section and the same section information listed for both (including enrollment limits). The Office of the Registrar will then perform a process to combine them into one section so that they share limits. Those who want to manage limits separately for the undergraduate and graduate offerings should contact Marissa Timmermanso that we do not combine the sections, and so that the Office of the Registrar will recognize the two sections as an intentional conflict when scheduling rooms.
- Guided Independent Study courses (GSW or GSP) - Do not delete these sections. These courses must be included in the Schedule of Classes so that the enrollment process can be executed within the SIS.
- Courses offered at CUE, Allen College, HCC, etc. - These will continue to be handled as they have in the past. We will coordinate and confirm these offerings with you, and your department will be asked to enter the information for these sections. The location will be OFF-CAMPUS.
- eLearning courses that have traditionally been listed in the Schedule of Classes will continue with the same process similar to the CUE, Allen College, HCC, courses in that we will coordinate and confirm these offerings with you, and your department will be asked to enter the information for these sections. The delivery mode for these sections will be "Online Semester Based." Please attach note 0007 to alert students the course will be offered through eLearning.
- Workshops, specialized courses offered off-campus, ICN, and eLearning courses offered to specific off-campus audiences will be entered by the Office of Continuing and Distance Education in cooperation with the Office of the Registrar.
- (This is primarily for COE) On-campus sections of ICN courses (taught as part of load) that are connected with off-site delivery will be coordinated with the Office of Continuing and Distance Education, but will be entered by the academic department. The Office of Continuing and Distance Education will enter course information for the remote sections. Please don't hesitate to contact the Office of Continuing and Distance Education if you have any questions.
Important: Once the Office of the Registrar has created the course combinations, all changes to Enrollment Limits (including Wait Lists) must come through our office via the Schedule Change Request Web Form. Because the system is set to 'share limits' with combined courses, we must maintain the Enrollment Capacities centrally in order for it to work properly once registration begins.
Variable Credit Courses and Class Associations
Courses with a range of credit hours in the catalog in which the department wishes to offer sections for a fixed amount of credit hours will need to be identified and communicated to Marissa Timmerman . Once the sections are scheduled by the department, the Office of the Registrar will be able to override the catalog unit values to accommodate the department offering by updating the Class Associations. When there is no difference in the units offered in the schedule as compared to the catalog, the units simply pull from the catalog and no extra steps need to be taken.
Course Materials/Textbooks
Instead of reporting course materials to University Book and Supply directly, course materials for each section are to be entered into the system as soon as they are known.
Course sections for which materials are not yet known should have the "Pending" option indicated in the Textbook tab of the schedule of classes set up pages, and will appear as "Textbooks to be determined" in the schedule of classes. Once the course materials are known, the "Textbook entry complete" option should be indicated, allowing the course materials to appear in the schedule of classes. There is also an option for "No textbooks assigned to the class."
University Book and Supply will receive course material information form our system through an interface on a daily basis. The bookstore will, in turn, supply our system with an estimated price.
University Book and Supply will continue to make contacts to resolve questions about book titles, new editions, etc. If any changes are made, updates to course material information must be entered into the system as it serves as the system of record holding the published information viewable within the Schedule of Classes.
Once course material information is published in the Schedule of Classes, students will be able to purchase course materials from their vendor of choice.
To support University compliance with Higher Education Opportunities Act Textbook Provision, it is important to note the following:
Course materials purchased somewhere other than from a typical textbook vendor (such as a course packet available from the department or at Copy Works) should also be added to the textbook information in the system, along with a note about where the items can be purchased and the cost.
The current options in the system for course material types are: Course Packet, General Merchandise, Rental Instrument, and Textbook. Please let us know if other needs arise as you work through the schedule building process.
Department schedulers have expressed a concern about receiving course material information in a timely manner from Faculty. Any efforts to support this process by encouraging faculty to communicate course materials to the department as early as possible in the process and as soon as they are known will positively impact the availability of this information to students and the fulfillment of our obligation under the law. It's recommended that course materials/textbooks be left at a "pending" status until confident that they are final and accurate. Please stress to faculty that late changes to course material information will require immediate contact with all enrolled students concerning the changes as some students purchase these items early. See the Frequently Asked Questions portion of the Higher Education Opportunities Act Textbook Information Provision page for more information.
Schedule of Classes Notes
There are two types of notes in the Schedule of Classes - Global Notes and Class Notes.
Global Notes:
Notes that pertain to an entire subject area. In the past, this type of note has appeared at the beginning of the class section listing for a given subject or department. In the system, Global Notes don't have department/Academic Organization security tied to them, and for that reason the Office of the Registrar will be maintaining them for you. We will use the Spring 2012 notes as a starting point for your Global Notes. Please contact Marissa Timmerman with any changes to these notes for the Spring 2013 schedule. In addition, if your waiting list policies and procedures aren't already listed in this area, please be sure to add them.
Class Notes:
Notes specific to each class section and are entered by the department schedulers in the Notes tab of the Schedule of Classes set up pages. There are two types of Class Notes:
Preformatted Class Notes:
Commonly used notes with static text set up in advance which are added to the class section by selecting the desired note from a list of available notes set up by a system administrator.
Free Format Text:
Notes typed or copied in from another source that are specific to the section. Some preformatted Class Notes have been set up for your use. If there are additional ones you'd like to have set up, please contact Patti Rust.
Do not copy/paste prerequisite information from the catalog to the class notes! The catalog level prerequisites will appear in the Class Search.
In addition to the specified Course Attribute and Preformatted Class Note, Honors courses must also have an entry made on the Meetings tab to include "Honors Course" in the Free Format Topic. The "Print Topic on Transcript" box should also be checked.
Course Component
Course component is defined for courses at the catalog level. Some course components were set up based on common course numbers, and others were set up as a result of requested feedback from department heads. The current values in the system for course components are:
- Applied Lesson
- Continuous Registration
- Cooperative Education
- Ensemble
- Experimental
- Field Study
- Independent Study
- Internship
- Laboratory
- Lecture/Lab
- Lecture/Simulation
- Open Credit
- Practicum
- Project
- Readings
- Recital
- Research
- Seminar
- Studio
- Study Tour
- Workshop
Course component values at the catalog level were defaulted to the appropriate value for courses having common course numbers. New course component values and their associated courses identified by department heads to date have also been defined and assigned to courses in the system. Remaining courses will have a default value for course component of Lecture/Discussion. If you find that additional course component values are needed, or that a course needs to have a different course component value associated with it, please contact Patti Rust. Before a course can be scheduled with a desired course component value, the course component needs to be set up at the catalog level for the course.
Meeting Times
The hours for summer classes will be as follows:
7:30 a.m. - 8:30 a.m.
8:40 a.m. - 9:40 a.m.
9:50 a.m. - 10:50 a.m.
11:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m.
12:10 p.m. - 1:10 p.m.
1:20 p.m. - 2:20 p.m.
After 2:20 p.m., hours can be flexible in terms of length and frequency of meetings, provided that the appropriate number of hours are met. The recommended number of meetings per week are as follows:
Number of Meetings Per Week
Credit Hours
12-Week Session
8-Week Session
6-Week Session
4-Week Session
Minimum Required Minutes
For classes that will meet two consecutive hours per day, please use these time blocks: 7:30 a.m. - 9:40 a.m., 9:50 a.m. - 12:00 p.m., and 1:20 p.m. - 3:30 p.m. The late afternoon and evening time slots can be flexible.
To avoid conflicts for students who desire to take more than one course, every effort should be made by the department to not schedule a course in multiple time periods. You are encouraged to explore non-traditional time offerings such as weekend or a series of weekend sessions and evening classes. Past experiences with these by departments have been successful. Caution should be taken in scheduling low enrollment offerings during the regular summer session. This is not an efficient use of resources, particularly when budgets are tight. It is appropriate to offer such courses and workshops on a self-supporting basis through the Office of Continuing Education. Decisions regarding such offerings will be based on a rather solid indication of student interest.
Classroom Assignments
Adequate resources are not available to support all buildings for the entire 12 weeks of the summer term. In addition, extended time periods must be available for needed remodeling and maintenance projects. Thus, classrooms will be assigned to ensure as much efficiency as possible in regards to building usuage. Only indicate specific rooms on your schedule when the course is dependent upon that room. If a specific building is preferred, please indicate the building with no rooms in the Class Notes.
Space problems can occur when departments add students to the original limits and consequently outgrow the room they are assigned. This creates problems in trying to find larger classrooms once the semester has started. Therefore, we request that department heads notify the Office of the Registrar if they find it necessary to override the limits that were originally placed on classes. The room capacity is viewable on the Meetings Tab under the Capacity heading. Do not let the actual number of students exceed the room capacity.
The system allows you to request a specific room or room features, but please keep in mind that final room assignments will be determined by the Office of the Registrar. If you desire to add a class or move a class, it will be necessary to check with the Office of the Registrar to obtain a classroom. Also, the Office of the Registrar will not be obligated to consult a department to secure permission to use a classroom. If a shift in classes becomes necessary and it involves more than one department, the Office of the Registrar will consult with the Department Heads involved. Once advance registration has started, any time changes or added classes must be cleared by the Office of the Registrar.
Continuing Education Sections
Guided Independent Study Courses (GSW or GSP) - Do not delete these sections. These courses must be included in the Schedule of Classes so that the enrollment process can be executed within the SIS.
Courses offered at CUE, Allen College, HCC, etc. - These will continue to be handled as they have in the past. We will coordinate and confirm these offerings with you, and your department will be asked to enter the information for these sections. The location will be OFF-CAMPUS.
eLearning/Blackboard - Courses that fall into this category that have traditionally been listed in the Schedule of Classes will continue with the same process (similar to the CUE, Allen College, HCC, courses) in that we will coordinate and confirm these offerings with you, and your department will be asked to enter the information for these sections. The delivery mode for these sections will be "Online Semester Based." Please attach note 0007 to alert students the course will be offered through eLearning/Blackboard.
Workshops, Specialized Courses Offered Off-Campus, ICN, and eLearning/Blackboard - If offered to specific off-campus audiences, these courses will be entered by the Office of Continuing and Distance Education in cooperation with the Office of the Registrar.
On-Campus Sections of ICN Courses (Taught as Part of Load) - Primarily for COE; When connected with off-site delivery, these courses will be coordinated with the Office of Continuing and Distance Education but will be entered by the academic department. The Office of Continuing and Distance Education will enter course information for the remote sections. Please contact Continuing and Distance Education if there are questions regarding this process.
Interdisciplinary Courses (i.e. HUM, SOC SCI, CAP)
Only edit the sections for your own Academic Organization. For example, the History Department should only edit HUM sections they are offering and leave the sections offered by other Academic Organizations (such as Philosophy and World Religions or the Office of Continuing and Distance Education) alone. To see the Academic Organization offering the section of a course, go to the "Basic Data" tab in Maintain Schedule of Classes.
When updating your summer schedule pay special attention to the Session (the first field on the Basic Data Tab) to make sure you are in the appropriate Session for each class section (i.e. May 4-Week, or June/July 8-Week, etc.). Please note that it is imperative that the Sessions be setup appropriately prior to students being registered in the courses. Section 80 numbers will be used for June 4-Week courses and section 90 numbers will be used for July 4-Week courses. All other sessions should utilize a numerical pattern for section numbering beginning with 01.
Summer Session dates can be found on our Academic Calendars page. Please note that a May/July 12-Week Session has been added as an option beginning Summer 2015.
You are reminded that the Faculty Senate established a requirement that an activity workshop be scheduled for 30 hours of contact time for each semester hour of credit (March 27, 1978). Please indicate on your schedule if you are offering an activity or a lecture workshop. Lecture workshops: 1 credit hour must have 16 classroom contact hours. Activity workshops, 1 credit hour must have 30 classroom contact hours.
Lab Fees
Only courses that have an approved lab fee amount should have this information listed within the schedule of classes. The Office of the Registrar will remove any lab fees that have not gone through the approval process.

Great project! I have made a couple of wall hangings with my Cricut that
hang in my bathroom. I simply cut out some great flourish shapes from
the Cindy Loo cart, glued them onto painted squares of wood, applied a
finish over top and hung 3 of them vertically on a wide ribbon. They
look super cute and match my bathroom perfectly!
I hope you all are having a relaxing evening and we will see you back here on Tuesday!

7 Species That Got Screwed Over by Mother Nature
Evolution is the art of producing the deadliest, meanest, most efficient beasts possible. But it's not a perfect process: For every great white shark, grizzly or honey badger, there's a slew of animals rolling fatly around the reject pile, just waiting to be killed and eaten (and if you don't hurry, some of them will even do it themselves). So let's go Dumpster diving in evolution's trash bin, shall we?
It's pretty hard to disgust a vulture. Hey, if you survived on a diet of rotten corpses and used your own shit as an air-conditioning system, you'd get an iron stomach pretty quick, too. But even in the Garbage Pail Kid hierarchy of vulture grossness, somebody's got to be at the bottom of the barrel. And you don't get closer to the bottom than the anus. Just ask the black vulture.
Ask him from a distance.
Black vultures have weaker beaks than raptorial birds, and as a consequence they can't crack through the tough hides and solid bones of a carcass. So they have to attack the softest body parts of their victims first -- the anus and eyeballs. No, that's not the gross part. You can't handle the gross part. Just ... there's some good stuff later about exploding penises -- maybe that's more your speed. Go check that out.
You really want to know? All righty. You insisted. Once the butthole buffet is depleted, the black vulture then burrows in through the devoured rectum to get at the rest of the tender innards. Think about that: Every time they get hungry, they have to dig an asshole tunnel using their mouths instead of shovels. If you really want to understand the plight of the black vulture, here's a fun little experiment: The next time you microwave a bean-and-cheese burrito, try poking a hole in one end and then shoving your whole head in there to eat it from the inside out, because the textures are probably pretty similar and -- oh goddamn it. We just ruined burritos for everybody, didn't we?
They were delicious, we know. We're so sorry.
We usually start at the stomach, but now their cold, dead ass just sits there, judging us.
#6. The Spotted Hyena and the Phantom Penis
Spotted hyenas are different from other species in that their females run the society. For all of you misogynists out there thinking that "it takes a dong to run a nation," you are, sadly, right in this instance: Hyena chicks have dicks.
"Woah, wow. This ... this will cost extra, right?"
To understand how hyena society results in becocked females, you need to know three basic biological facts:
1) The more aggressive a female is, the more likely she is to pass on her genes.
2) The chemical that causes females to be more aggressive is called androgen.
3) This also happens to be the same chemical that causes male hyena embryos to become, well, male.
"Yup. Beat it to death with my girl-penis."
As a result, the female spotted hyena sports a clitoris that is 7 inches long, with a "pseudo-scrotum" and a birth canal that runs right up the middle. While this factoid may have finally won Cracked that prized hyena transsexual enthusiast demographic, it causes some pretty serious problems for the animals in question. For one thing, nabbing yourself a dick that should not be doesn't necessarily free you from the burden of childbirth: Remember what we said about the birth canal running through the near-penis? That means a 2-pound cub is, at some point, going to tear its way out of some poor hyena's girl-wang. Unsurprisingly, about 10 percent of female spotted hyenas die during childbirth -- from complications or straight-up suicide, we couldn't say.
"Look me in the eyes and tell me why I shouldn't eat you right now."
#5. Inquiring Kakapos Want to Know: What the Hell is a "Predator"?
Over millions of years, most animals have adopted some kind of defensive strategy. An enterprising species might develop camouflage, sharp teeth or spines (if it's smart, it'll just go straight for the pistol-hands). But what if there were no natural enemies whatsoever? An animal could put absolutely all of its energy into eating and reproduction! On the plus side, that's a surefire recipe for a species to thrive. On the down side, those criteria would probably result in a fat, helpless, delicious-tasting nymphomaniac. Ladies and gentlemen, we present to you the kakapo: the BBW of the animal kingdom.
Your head is attractive. I would like to hump it, please."
It's the world's only flightless parrot (a less threatening pair of words has never been uttered) and weighs in at a portly 8 pounds (tubby, for a bird). The kakapo spends most of its time feeding, procreating and metaphorically basting itself in butter. This controversial decision to eschew traditional survival methods in favor of hitting up the buffet one more time made perfect sense for its native environment, New Zealand -- a country that was in the bathroom when God was handing out mammals.
"And we shall call it ... Possomtopia."
For centuries, hundreds of thousands of kakapos waddled around New Zealand having unhindered sex 'n' food parties, but the good times hit a damper with the arrival of Polynesian settlers around the 14th century and ground to a halt altogether when the Europeans swung by in the 1800s. These newcomers brought with them livestock, dogs, cats, ferrets, rats and, yes, possums. The kakapos not only were unable to fly away from these new predators, but couldn't even run away. A kakapo's natural reaction to danger is to stand completely still -- not play dead, not emit a foul odor or even make a sound. They just stop moving and hope whatever's trying to kill them is too filled with pity to follow through on it. In the vicious game of cops and robbers that nature plays during every minute of every day, the kakapos are playing freeze tag.
Champion 2005 -- present
Not surprisingly, kakapos were immediately slaughtered in ludicrous numbers. The Maoris were already making coats of their feathers and stuffing their pillows with them, and then the Europeans and their animals started devouring them like the stationary poultry-fruit that they were. Today, only about 100 kakapos remain, making it one of the world's rarest birds (and probably sometime soon, the only species to go extinct from sheer panic).
"In exchange for your mercy, I will allow you to eat me."
#4. Sea Squirts: Head of Their Class
The only thing evolution cares about is brutal efficiency. So if something isn't actively helping an animal to survive or pass on its genes, it gets tossed like a bad salad. That's why cave fish lost their eyes, snakes ditched their legs and we evolved out of our bitchin' weaponized penises.
Weaponized penises. That's what these things look like.
But there are worse things to lose: Just ask a baby sea squirt. One minute it's swimming around in the plankton all "Herbie derbie doo, I'm a squirt" (OK, you tell us what sound a sea squirt makes, smart guy), and the next it's cementing itself headfirst to a rock. Since sitting in one spot and waiting for food to drift into your stomach isn't the most mentally stimulating of occupations, the brain just isn't useful any more -- or rather, it is useful, but only for one thing: Those tasty, nutritious brain cells.
But first, a bitchin' light show.
Yep, part of the sea squirt's awkward teenage years involves devouring its own brain from the inside out. Keep that in mind the next time you open your mouth to bitch about acne scars or that time Jennifer made fun of your squeaky voice in front of like, practically everybody; at least she didn't tear out your frontal lobe and make you a sandwich out of it.
Although she did leave you with plenty of exotic STDs.

Is it true that until the Civil War we did not capitalize the U in United States?

This question is too basic; it can be definitively and permanently answered by a single link to a standard internet reference source designed specifically to find that type of information.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
The first two lines of the Declaration of Independence are:
The first two lines Article I of the Articles of Confederation of 1781 are:
So united was initially not capitalized, but United States with capitalization was adopted when the Articles were ratified in 1781.
Perhaps you're confusing the Articles of Confederation (confederacy: "a league or compact between two or more persons, bodies of men, or states for mutual support or common action" [M-W Unabridged]) with the secession of the Confederated States of America, which precipitated the Civil War.
I'm just a New Zealander/Englander but after reading bits of it I think the capitalisation is all over the place - which indicates that possibly there were all forms of writing it at the time.
So it's possible that there were conventions all over the country and the world that where not the same.

Sencha Touch - Minify - variable rename
Prior to minifying my sencha touch application I get it to work beautifully - all the pages load correctly, my mvc calls are all working and the mock data that I have all load correctly.
Then when I minify it I get errors on every page it seems. My issue now is that when i get to a detail view of a customer for example I am getting no data. Prior to minifying my project
var _form = Ext.getCmp('accountDetailView');
_customer = _form.getRecord();
i would get this _form variable and I would load the customer data. then display the results after an ajax call.
Now i get this in my minified file.
Where I now have a variable 'a' - which for whatever reason always leaves my _customer variable as null.
I am minifying this project by running this in the command line
sencha app build production
then taking the files out of the build folder and putting them on my webserver.
I couldnt be more frustrated with trying to minify this project - any help is appreciated.

Lightweight Championship – Uchiyama vs Parra on May 6
Japanese junior lightweight champ Takashi Uchiyama will formulate his seventh title defense when he faces Venezuelan Jaider Parra, former flyweight titleholder Lorenzo Parra on May 6 in Tokyo. "I wish to keep winning until my ultimate argument with another interim champ, Yuriorkis Gamboa," said Uchiyama, who is coming off an eighth-round knockout of then-undefeated short-term champion Bryan Vasquez on Dec. 31
Gamboa, who won an interim belt earlier in December, is most likely headed to the lightweight separation and unlikely to face Uchiyama. In the co-feature, junior bantamweight champ Kohei Kono (28-7, 11 KOs), also from Japan, will make his first title defense when he square off with interim titlist and fixed challenger Liborio Solis (14-3-1, 7 KOs), who also happens to be from Venezuela.
