TROTBritain have secured the go ahead to stage two LeTrot trotting races at the Betfred owned all weather Thoroughbred track, Chelmsford City Racecourse in Chelmsford, Essex, England. The meeting is on 10th November 2016 and will consist of a full card of Thoroughbred races with two TROTBritain organized LeTrot races tagged onto the end of card. This historic trial will be the first time that two Standardbred trotting races alone have been staged on the same card as gallopers. This historic event could not have happened without the enthusiasm and determination of the management of Chelmsford City Racecourse and the support of LeTrot, the French Trotting governing body. TROTBritain representatives oversaw a trial under workout conditions, and the all-weather mile round track at Chelmsford is ideal for racing the French trotters. TROTBritain hopes that if this trial on 10th November is successful, it will develop to be a more of a permanent fixture and help develop the forward progress of LeTrot races in Great Britain. There will be betting on course on the two races and it is hoped that these trotting races will be beamed into Betfred betting shops to wager on the night. TROTBritain are always looking at ways to further the Standardbred sport and this trial at Chelmsford City Racecourse and the publicity that it will attract can only further progress the long term goals of a flourishing trotting program in Great Britain. TROTBritain members are now developing closer links with Ireland as well, to enhance the LeTrot races, and breeding Trotter Francais in both countries. More details about this historic event will be forthcoming. By George Button, for TROTBritain

Characterization of Acoustical Materials
In addition to measuring electronic hardware used for recording, it is also important to be able to measure the performance of the listening room and the acoustical surface treatments used in their design. Typically, the room's geometry and shell design is used to determine the overall modal response. Surface treatment is then used to tailor the reflection pattern to suit the room's use. In practice surface treatments are either absorptive or diffusive or some combination thereof. Absorptive materials have received considerable treatment since Sabine's seminal research, however, diffusive surfaces have only recently begun to get the attention they deserve. This paper describes the goals of a three year research grant funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council of the UK (EPSRC GR/L13124) and RPG Diffusor Systems, Inc. to determine a room acoustic diffusion coefficient.

Pinpoint Athletics: Straily & Griffin
The Athletics are trotting out pitchers who simply refuse to walk opposing batters. It's getting crazy really. In fact, every member of their current rotation with the exception of Jarrod Parker, sports a sub-2.0 walk rate! That's pretty amazing. Two of those pitchers have pretty much come out of nowhere this year. Let's see what we can expect next season.
After making three starts in August and then being sent back down to the minors, Dan Straily is back up with the big club. We are well aware of how dominating a season he has had in the minors this year, posting strikeout rates above 11.0 at both Double-A and Triple-A, while maintaining a mid-2.0 walk rate. Although his already excellent control has looked even better so far in the Majors, as per his 1.9 BB/9, his F-Strike% is merely good, not great. That level would typically match up better with a walk rate closer to three. Of course, it is difficult for any pitcher to sustain a sub-2.0 walk rate, though there are currently 17 qualified pitchers who have done just that.
He has done an excellent job of inducing what we can assume is weak contact, as his O-Swing% sits respectably above the league average. He has also allowed an O-Contact% significantly higher than the league average, which means that batters are making contact with the balls he's throwing outside the zone, and that should keep his BABIP low.
Given an underwhelming fastball though, one must wonder how much of his impressive strikeout rate will translate to the bigs. He has posted a healthy 9.8% SwStk% so far though, so that's a good sign, but clearly it's a far cry from what would be necessary to post a strikeout rate of even a batter per inning. He will be an interesting case of whether we should have trusted the stats or the scouting reports.
Another concern is his fly ball rate, which would easily lead all starters if he had enough innings. The fly ball tendency will reduce his BABIP and he pitches in a good ball park to suppresses the bombs, but it will still be an issue. He'll be an interesting flyer next year, but I have a feeling that projections will be all over the place.
A.J. Griffin is another guy who has seemingly come out of nowhere and has shown fantastic control as well. He's walked just 29 batters over 159 innings (a 1.6 BB/9) through the minors and Majors this season. Griffin's F-Strike% is a decent bit higher than Straily's and although again it would be difficult to project a sustained sub-2.0 BB/9, he looks to have a low 2.0 walk rate skill.
His fastball velocity is even worse than Straily's, as it has averaged less than 90.0 miles per hour. Still, combined with a selection of three other pitches, he has generated a SwStk% just below the league average. Griffin has also been a fly ball pitcher, but not nearly to the degree that Straily has. His minor league history also gives us little hope of more grounders in the near term. Griffin should be easier project going forward and will likely be a borderline mixed league play next season.
Of course, Straily has the worse SIERA, but his potential strikeout rate upside and an assumption that his fly ball rate will likely come down some should result in a better ERA projection than Griffin. They should post a similar WHIP though, but then it comes back to the strikeouts in which Straily clearly has the leg up.

The boundary value problem for wave propagation on a cylindrical anisotropic rod has been solved for hybrid modes, i.e., those having angular dependence. Solutions for the rod radius, normalized by the free space wavelength, as a function of the phase velocity, are presented for various values of the transverse and longitudinal dielectric constants. When the rod is terminated by conducting end plates, a high microwave resonator results. The electric and magnetic energies stored in the rod have been calculated, as has the cavity . Experimental resonant frequencies for various modes in an -band cavity using a ruby laser rod are compared with theory.

Skylanders Series 3 Battle Portal: Stump Smash's Battle Portal is from MEGA Blok's collectible game where kids Build, Slide and Smash with their favorite Skylanders figures. Each Battle Portal kit includes everything kids need to build a battle bumper and portal slider. Battle Portals also come with a Skylanders figure, enemy figure and loot pieces.
MEGA Bloks' Skylanders figures are collectible and fun recreations of the familiar figures in the video game. There are several different Skylanders characters available in each series of the Battle Portals line so we think this could be a fun game for kids to play with other kids. If kids have multiple Battle Portals, they can play with a friend and slide the portals into each other.
Skylanders Battle Portals are designed for Skylanders fans ages 5 and up.
MEGA Bloks also has an Ultimate Battle Arcade, which is an arena style structure for kids to play with the Battle Portal toys in. Additional Battle Portals and the Arcade are sold separately.
The Battle Portal has motion-activated lights that flash when the portal is bumped or slid. The light uses two button-cell batteries, which are included.
Building the bumpers and portals is very easy and takes seconds to complete. This toy is more about the play than it is the construction.

2001 Toyota Tacoma Xtracab 2dr Xtracab V6 4WD SB (3.4L 6cyl 5M)
My Tacoma, which I bought on September 11, 2001, and named Liberty, interestingly enough, has been the toughest and most reliable vehicle of which I have ever known. It has nearly 170,000 miles, and aside from the usual replacement of tires, filters, and brake pads, the only maintenence I've ever had done was preventative (timing belt, water pump, drive belts, and spark plugs at 100,000 miles). Aside from that, EVERYTHING is original, including the clutch, which I'm hard on, and even the freon for the A/C! Unbelievable! In short, the truck still drives like the day I bought it, it hardly burns a drop of oil, and if this old girl doesn't make it to 250,000 miles, I'll eat my hat!
Wanted to report that the Tacoma has reached the 200,000 mile marker. Normal maintenance so far: belts, timing belt, water pump, and cat converter. Oil changes performed at 3000 miles every 3000 miles. Truck runs great. Body and interior holding out great. I do take care to keep it clean and waxed. Dome light has failed (constantly burns them out) and one light for the 'fan' switch has failed- I have not replaced. Miles are mostly highway and the truck has not been off-roaded. I hope to be able to write a 300,000 mile review. No rattles to date! Great truck so far. Couple of more years and maybe I will have gotten my monies worth outta it.
Appearance, power, handling. Ride is stiff.
My Tacoma can go just about anywhere, in any kind of weather! :) Tacomas are the most eye-catching small pickup available, with an outstanding reliability record. I have hauled heavy loads of furniture and appliances with no problems. Makes for an outstanding second vehicle. Not very family oriented though...
Sharp looking little truck-excellent both on/off road. Adequate strength in the engine.
Not comfortable on long trips. Left foot/leg doesn't have much room and the driver ends up shifting a lot in their seat. Driver's door likes to shut on me before I am out of the vehicle.
I drove mostly American made pickups while in high school. After driving one of these Toyota pickups, I will never own anything else. It's really a no brainer. Looks, performance and yes untouched reliability put it way above the rest. I have 135,000 miles on mine and no problems. Toyota will never have financial troubles when they make trucks like these!

Skip to comments.Cameron defends Jesus tomb documentary
Posted on 02/26/2007 8:41:03 AM PST by Clive
Oscar-winning director James Cameron defended on Monday his controversial new documentary, which claims that Jesus may have been buried with a wife and son, against charges the film was trying to undermine Christianity.
Instead, the documentary that claims the discovery of the tomb of Jesus Christ and his family celebrates their existence, Cameron said at a press conference announcing the documentary "The Lost Tomb of Jesus."
The message that Jesus delivered 2,000 years ago resounds even today, Cameron said.
"My feeling is that his message of compassion, humility, love and forgiveness is every bit as much needed now in this divisive, materialistic and war-torn world."
But church representatives and archeologists are rejecting the claims of a Canadian documentary filmmaker who says he has found the tomb of Jesus Christ and his family, a claim that would have profound implications for the Christian faith.
"I think this is more fanciful and absurd theorizing. Every Christian knows that Jesus, the son of God and man, died and rose again on Easter Sunday," said Joseph Zwilling, a spokesperson for the Catholic Church in New York, where the news conference on the discovery will be held on Monday.
"No alleged DNA test or Hollywood film is going to change that," he told the New York Post.
Cameron and Emmy-award winning Toronto filmmaker Simcha Jacobovici
say that the tomb of Jesus Christ and his family has been found, a claim that would have profound implications for the Christian faith.
"This has been a three-year journey that seems more incredible than fiction," the Jacobovici said earlier. "The idea of possibly finding the tomb of Jesus and several members of his family, with compelling scientific evidence, is beyond anything I could have imagined."
The film suggests that ossuaries once containing the bones of Jesus and his family are now stored in a warehouse belonging to the Israel Antiquities Authority in Bet Shemesh, outside Jerusalem.
The tomb where the remains were found was unearthed in the Talpiot neighbourhood of Jerusalem during the construction of an apartment building in 1980.
During the excavation, archeologists found 10 ossuaries and three skulls. Six of the ossuaries had names inscribed into them: Jesus son of Joseph, Judah son of Jesus, Maria, Mariamne, Joseph and Matthew.
At the time, the finding raised few alarms, as these had been common names at the time of Jesus.
Years later, a BBC crew that stumbled across the collection in a store room belonging to the Israeli Antiquities Authorities began work program that focused on the tomb.
Jacobovici's documentary uses scientific methods, including DNA testing, statistical analysis and forensic examination, not available to the BBC 11 years ago.
If the claims are correct, and the tombs belonged to the holiest family in Christendom, the discovery could shake the foundations of the Christian faith with the speculation that Jesus fathered a child with Mary Magdalene.
DNA tests conducted for the documentary at Lakehead University on two ossuaries -- one inscribed Jesus son of Joseph and the other Mariamne, or Mary -- confirm that the two were not related by blood, so they were likely married.
"Perhaps Jesus and Mary Magdalene were married as the DNA results from the Talpiot ossuaries suggest and perhaps their union was kept secret to protect a potential dynasty - a secret hidden through the ages," narrator Ron White says in the documentary.
"A secret we just may be able to uncover in the holy family tomb."
Traditional Christian beliefs maintain that Jesus was physically resurrected to heaven while more liberal interpretations have permitted for a spiritual ascension.
The claims follow years of growing interest in the private life of Jesus, fuelled by the 2003 Dan Brown novel "The Da Vinci Code," which was made into a movie last year.
In Brown's novel, which was denounced by church figures around the world, Jesus is said to have married Mary Magdalene and sired a daughter.
Jacobovici has said the findings should not threaten anyone's belief in the resurrection, as he does not argue that Jesus did not ascend to heaven at least spiritually.
But critics are already speaking out against the documentary's claims.
"It's a beautiful story but without any proof whatsoever," Amos Kloner, professor at Israel's Bar-Ilan University, told Deutsche Presse-Agentur. Kloner researched the tomb for the Israeli periodical Atiqot in 1996.
"The names . . . found on the tombs are names that are similar to the names of the family of Jesus. But those were the most common names found among Jews in the first centuries BCE (before the common era) and CE (common era)."
In The Lost Tomb, however, University of Toronto statistician Andre Feuerverger calculates that the chances of the names being found together are 600 to one.
He says that the Maria on one of the ossuaries is the mother of the Jesus found on another box, that Mariamne is his wife and that Joseph -- inscribed as the nickname Jose -- is his brother.
Jesus' mother was known after his death as Maria, the Latin form of Mary, as more Romans became followers. Mariamne is the Greek form of Mary. Mary Magdalene is believed to have spoken and preached in Greek. Jose was the nickname used for Jesus' little brother.
Furthermore, the tomb is the only site where ossuaries have been found with the names Mariamne and Jose, the documentary's creators claim.
Another famous ossuary, inscribed James son of Joseph brother of Jesus, is also featured in the documentary.
Of the 10 ossuaries found at Talpiot, one later went missing. Many experts have speculated the coffin is that of James, which was put on public display at the Royal Ontario Museum.
Furthermore, forensic testing of the patina on the Jesus ossuary and that of James concluded they came from the same tomb.
Feuerverger says that if James is added to the equation, there is a 30,000 to one chance that the Talpiot Tomb belonged to Jesus' family.
Another calculation, commissioned by James Tabor, chair of the department of religion studies at the University of North Carolina, puts the odds at one in 42 million.
Another researcher, whose work has focused on the Middle East, biblical anthropologist Joe Zias, has rejected the claims as "dishonest."
"It has nothing whatsoever to do with Jesus, he was known as Jesus of Nazareth, not Jesus of Jerusalem, and if the family was wealthy enough to afford a tomb, which they probably weren't, it would have been in Nazareth, not here in Jerusalem," Zias told CBS.
The $4-million documentary will air on Canada's Vision TV on March 6 and two days earlier on Discovery U.S.
The companion book, "The Jesus Family Tomb" (HarperCollins) by Jacobovici and Charles Pellegrino, has just been released.
The hollywood crowd is beginning to believe their own BS.
And if I publish bogus evidence that your daughter is crack whore, I'll just tell everyone it's a celebration of her existence, Mr Cameron, okay?
"At the time, the finding raised few alarms, as these had been common names at the time of Jesus."
How can the proponents of this theory get around that? All a DNA test will prove is that they found a tomb of people who were related - not a revolutionary find.
"My feeling is that his message of compassion, humility, love and forgiveness is every bit as much needed now in this divisive, materialistic and war-torn world."
Anyone who has ever worked with Cameron will testify about his compassion, humility, love and forgiveness. And then burst several major blood vessels from laughter.
Of course, if DNA is recovered and is a match with Al Gore...
"And if Christ has not been raised, our preaching is useless and so is your faith... And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins."
-- Paul in I Corinthians 15
As for me and my house, I think we'll avoid getting our spiritual direction from the director of The Terminator.
And PERHAPS I am the long lost Grand Duchess Anastasia Romanov.
Yes, that's what I was thinking. Did Christ leave a DNA sample at CSI Cameron?
This is bullsh*t...pure and simple.
Well, if he won an Oscar for his previous work, then he must have a right to do whatever he likes. Like Michael Moore. Maybe they'll give him a Pulitzer as well, or a Nobel Peace Prize.
What do you gentlemen make of this?
If there was a body in the tomb, it ain't Jesus.
Welcome back, your grace! Glad to see you survived.
"My feeling is that his message of compassion, humility, love and forgiveness is every bit as much needed now in this divisive, materialistic and war-torn world."
It's the new Hollyweird cafeteria Christianity. They pick and choose what they want but discard anything uncomfortable about the Son of God. Christ did indeed teach about forgiveness. But He also mentioned something called sin and repentance.
talk about burying the lead!
Of course, my age and gender have change somewhat over the years......
All the DNA proves is that the family was related. It doesn't prove which family it is.
So, they claim that based on some register of names, drawing each name randomly, the chance of those names all popping up is 1 in 600.
So basically, they are saying that 1 in 600 families had those names.
Which, sounds like a rare occurrence, but it is not, because of course there were a lot more than 600 families in Jerusalem at the time.
And if you were keeping it secret, you'd bury them together in a tomb...... :-)
These strange markings were found on the coffins
Unless of course Mary was the wife of one of the OTHER men in the tomb. Like maybe Joseph's 2nd wife?
James Cameron should start looking for the bones of Mohamed and his horse. They should be near the dome of the rock.
"Traditional Christian beliefs maintain that Jesus was physically resurrected to heaven while more liberal interpretations have permitted for a spiritual ascension."
More liberal interpretations? In other words, a complete fantasy someone made up versus what the Bible says. Frankly, I don't know why liberals even bother referring to scripture, since they make it up as they go.
Let's not get too tough on Cameron. Many of you don't realize by the Romans did take DNA samples of all folks they had on death row, so all James needs to do is check the dna of the remains that he found against the Roman back log. Should be pretty easy. /sarcasm
"How can the proponents of this theory get around that? All a DNA test will prove is that they found a tomb of people who were related - not a revolutionary find."
As posted elswhere:
I met Jesus. He cuts my lawn. His young mother, Maria, sells tortillas. His father, Jose, is a carpenter and put up crown molding for me. Jesus helped.
Maybe they're the holy family?! Alive TODAY!
(yeah, sarcasm)
Wonder if this has come up as of late because of the gnostic lies showing up in their many forms. Why not this same old argument too trying to disprove Christ's resurrection. Don't these people have enough to keep themselves busy.
It's amazing that one of the greatest ancient books chronicles exactly what happened to Jesus with hundreds of eye witnesses and yet they treat it as mythology.
Although I wouldn't raise Cameron to the level of false prophet, I think he will receive the same rewards.
"Which, sounds like a rare occurrence, but it is not, because of course there were a lot more than 600 families in Jerusalem at the time."
Not to mention that the historical family was poor (and thus tombless) and lived in Nazareth, by way of Bethlehem, (and thus any tomb would have been there), looking at a Jeruselem tomb is patently silly.
This film fails to tell us that this particular ossuary has been proved to be a fake. The History channel did a whole segment on this fake ossuary this last year.
Cameron seems to be a little "different" even by Hollyweird standards. The guy's been married five times and is a member of the "Mars Society". Something tells me Cameron's "out there", lol.
Is this the mindset of "Jesus wasn't necessarily the Son of God, he was a really nice guy who had good ideas"?
Sounds like a liberal...I am willing to bet HE isn't materialistic...:)
>>Feuerverger says that if James is added to the equation, there is a 30,000 to one chance that the Talpiot Tomb belonged to Jesus' family.
Another calculation, commissioned by James Tabor, chair of the department of religion studies at the University of North Carolina, puts the odds at one in 42 million. <<
I dont understand how they can calculate even these long odds - without DNA from Jesus from a known source what can they compare with?
I like jelly beans and those little Chocolate Malted Milk eggs...So I choose not to believe this story as a way to keep my traditions alive.
I know its not the most convincing way to maintain my faith...but what works, works.
before anyone starts jumping to conclusions, we should watch the movie. Also, don't forget to check out the movie's official website at http://www.jesusfamilytomb.com
Probably just proves that the names are bogus. The box all but says "The Christ Family Plot".
So let me ask. It of course would be impossible that some enterprising forger put the names on the boxes years, decades or even centuries after the boxes were placed in the tombs? I mean here is the proof that anti-Christians have always needed. Why wait so long to haul it out? Was it a double secret burial cave? Did the Apostles put up no trespassing signs? Did no one have the price of admission to view the bones of the Holy Family?
Can you imagine the time and trouble the Roman Empire and the Jewish religious authorities could have saved if they had just tossed those old bones down during the trials of the Martyrs? Seems that would have shut those pesky Christians up once and for all. Can you imagine Christians continuing to go willingly to their deaths by fire, sword, wild beasts, and other tortures; after being shown the bones of Christ. Yeah the first chapter of Masochists Annonymous will now come to order.
The whole hoopla is a hoax.
He may have found the tomb. It may even be the tomb of Jesus. The key question is, are the remains of Jesus inside? Of course they aren't. 1 Cor 15:3-5.
Compelling scientific evidence ... please!
This makes the GW claptrap seem absolutely einsteinian. Lay off the bong dude.
Look at the evidence: they had different DNA, right?
I think Cameron like many others in the entertainment industry confuse fantasy and reality.
Another case of fantasitis.
lol... your first post
Is this your first username here or are you truly a first-day person giving advice on interpreting this kind of nonsense?
And I don't think giving reasonable caveats to what is clearly speculative 'science' is anything like jumping to conclusions. For my money, taking a few names which really were extremely common in Judaea any time between 300 BC and 100 AD, suggesting that because they occur together (as such names always would in a family tomb) they indicate one particular now-famous family and then even suggesting that there is credible DNA evidence in the case is the conclusion-jumping approach.
You wouldn't have had anything to do with making that 'film' would you?
You can't make this stuff up.
Oh wait....apparently you can!

Public opinion surveys, such as the one on Americans' feelings about doctors reported elsewhere in this issue (page 471), are a useful way of taking the nation's statistical pulse—but unfortunately they do not always explain why the pulse beats as it does. If the rhythm at times seems erratic, it may take some diagnostic skill to trace the cause.
This survey shows a noticeable quirk that conscientious doctors will want to examine. It should be no surprise to them to find that people in general like and respect their personal physicians. What may be surprising—and unexplained in statistical tables—is that there is a striking difference between Americans' good opinions of their own doctors and their impressions of doctors in general, whom they do not know personally.
There are possibly many reasons for this peculiarity. It can be reasonably assumed that patients, especially because they are involved in such an emotional

Release date:TBD
Director:Gore Verbinski
MPAA Rating:N/A
Screenwriters:Burk Sharpless, Matt Sazama
Plot Summary:
A big-screen take on the classic game. With its recognizable format, mystery aspects and myriad suspects, "Clue" is among the Hasbro titles most ripe for a cinematic adaptation. The process-of-elimination game -- which of course requires players to solve a murder by guessing the killer, the site of the crime and the murder weapon -- and has became a staple for several generations. "Clue" had its first go-round on the big screen nearly 25 years ago, when Paramount released a campy parlor mystery starring Christopher Lloyd and Madeline Kahn.
