Verona, NY - State police are looking for witnesses to a rollover crash this afternoon on the state Thruway in Verona.
Andrew M. Mangino, 21, of West Caldwell, N.J., was driving west at 4 p.m. when a white Ford crossed into his lane, state police said. Mangino, who was driving in the passing lane, swerved, over-corrected and then drove onto the north shoulder of the road.
His 2008 Subaru Outback hit an embankment and then a fence before rolling over onto the roof, troopers said.
Mangino was sent to St. Elizabeth's Hospital in Utica with head and neck injuries.
Anyone with information should call police at 315-437-2831.

Toddler-friendly Festivus poles
I got it in my head to build a Festivus pole.
(Festivus is a non-religious holiday first celebrated on December 23, 1966 in response to runaway Christmas commercialism. It was later popularized by an episode of the Seinfeld TV sitcom.)
A strict interpretation of the holiday requires a plain aluminum Festivus pole. A metal pole seemed a tipping danger with a rambunctious toddler in the house so I visited a hardware store to scope out alternatives.
PVC pipe was immediately attractive. I began seeing possibilities in decorating the pole – tied ribbons, hooks drilled into the pole to hang ornaments, and maybe even Little Miss painting the pole in a few years. Festivus fundamentalists would have my head.
Not quite satisfied, I mulled over my options for a few days until I stumbled upon a newly stocked item at a restaurant supply store. It would make a great lightweight toddler-friendly Festivus pole. (By the way, when you shop at the same food and accessories store as restaurateurs, eating at home is like eating out, every night.)
Pole #1: I used an 8-foot-long fluorescent tube guard as a pole. It is a clear plastic tube designed to protect a shattered fluorescent light from raining glass down upon you (other tubes filter or tint light or improve efficiency). I've never seen an 8-foot long fluorescent light, but apparently they exist. At less than $3, the tube is a steal.
A thought soon crept into my mind: this tube is just wide enough to fit a ping pong ball. And, the sight of a bunch of ping pong balls balanced vertically from floor to ceiling would be damn impressive. Sixty-three balls to be exact.
It helps to use a ladder to insert the balls, and helps even more if you have a vaulted ceiling because many ceilings are not much more than 8 feet high.
K-Mart sells the balls at 36 per box, but Wishing Well stores sell plain balls with no manufacturer logo or lettering for 19 cents a piece, roughly $12 for one pole.
Initially, I planted the pole in a Christmas tree stand, having gotten the idea from a photo at thefestivuspole.com. The tree-fastening screws do an OK job of securing the tube so long as the tube is filled with balls. A stand costs $10 at K-Mart this month, or peanuts at a thrift store or garage sale.
However, it wasn't too long before I ditched the tree stand in favor of sturdy (non-plumbing) PVC pipe. My local Ace hardware has a PVC Store display which is kind of like PVC for Dummies. There are an assortment of joints to choose from and even a booklet containing a plethora of PVC craft ideas. I bought one length of pipe, four end caps and one five-point joint, plus a PVC saw (though a regular hack saw works, too). A mess of PVC shavings later, I had a spiffy "X" shaped pole stand.
In our house, in our non-vaulted living room, the 8-foot pole on top of the PVC stand is just milimeters away from the ceiling, giving the appearance of a true floor-to-ceiling pole.
Pole #2: After building my first Festivus pole, I had an empty Christmas tree stand in my house. So, I bought seven 4-foot fluorescent tube guards and propped them in the tree stand in a sort of circle, bound at the top and bottom with rubber bands.
Seven tubes works out to 224 ping pong balls, about $43. I didn't quite achieve that number because Wishing Well only had 93 undented balls for sale and it was a six hour trek to the store. (I was in town visiting family).
From a distance, you see three of the poles side-by-side, a decently impressive thickness for my wide tree stand.
Little Miss hasn't tried to push or topple either of the Festivus poles, but I'm not overly worried if she does. My poles don't have caps, so it would make quite a mess, but also be a lot of fun. Check out this tube close-up photo.
Contradictory thoughts: I built the poles, but am not celebrating Festivus. The holiday appeals to me because I despise the excessive materialism of Christmas. However, the Festivus pole explicitly represents nothing. I want our pole to represent something.
I am brewing some ideas for a family holiday which will incorporate our Festivus poles and their ping pong ball components.
Maybe have a day of family games and each time you win a game, one
of your specially-marked balls goes into the pole. I guess we would
have to call it the Day of Sixty-Three Games.
Maybe hand-decorate the balls for display as a family activity, just
like coloring Easter eggs or decorating a Christmas tree. Then we buy a
ping pong table to play with the previous year's decorated balls. (Update: Sadly, you cannot dye ping pong balls. They get slightly tinted and every imperfection on the surface gets magnified.)
I'll write more after my brain has had a chance to percolate.

Pontchartrain Vineyards Winery, located on the north shore of New Orleans in Bush, announced this week that changes are on the horizon. Known for its popular outdoor "Jazz'n the Vines" concert series, the only full-service winery in the New Orleans area seeks to re-brand itself to better reflect its local ties.
Bryan Dias, a marketing consultant working with the winery, was quoted in a press release provided by the vineyard.
"We are looking to root the brand, our guest experience, and our whole approach, overall, in more of a local context," Dias said. "Both 'New Orleans' and 'wine' are concepts that should be fun and approachable, yet still reverent of the cultural and historical traditions in which they lie. We want Pontchartrain Vineyards to reflect that firmly."
No one from the winery could be reached on Tuesday afternoon.
Located approximately one hour from New Orleans, many around the region travel to the vineyard – which is the only Louisiana winery dedicated exclusively to making wine from bunch grapes – for its popular outdoor concert series featuring local entertainment from both shores of Lake Pontchartrain. Apparently, the concert series will not be affected, despite other operational and image alterations.
Changes have been announced following retirement of winery founder and president, John Seago. The top role in the company has been assumed by Lincoln Case, who has been a Pontchartrain Vineyards Winery owner since 1991.
Upcoming re-branding efforts include a new logo, user-friendly website, and new labels that will re-name existing products to reflect a south Louisiana vibe. The recently released Mendocino Zinfandel will now sport a label of "VooDooZin" and an upcoming release made from Mendocino grapes will be named "Beau Soleil Chardonnay."
Many wines are made from the vineyard's estate grown fruit, while others are crafted with grape imported from Northern California.
In another comment released by the vineyard, Lincoln Case summarizes the new goals of the winery.
"Pontchartrain Vineyards has an established base of quality wines that pair well with our local cuisine," Case said. "As we move forward, we look forward to the challenge of making Louisiana aware of the very unique product and destination located just north of Lake Pontchartrain."

Louisiana loses a football field in coastal wetlands every 38 minutes, but the state could regain much of what it loses to erosion each year with a resource that's now being thrown away -- dirt dredged from coastal areas.
The Army Corps of Engineers dredges 60 million tons of coastal sediment each year but uses only 12 percent of that material to rebuild wetlands. That's a shocking waste. If all that mud -- along with the 3 million tons dredged up by private industry -- were deposited strategically to recreate wetlands, Louisiana could regain 18 square miles each year, two-thirds of what it now loses.
The state's coastal restoration master plan calls for this material to be reused to build wetlands, and Louisiana officials are rightly increasing demands on the corps and private industry to do that.
The state has proposed a new rule that will require private industry to use 100 percent of the material it dredges for wetlands restoration. Now, only 22 percent of private dredge material ends up in such projects. It's reasonable for Louisiana to ask private industry to do more, especially considering the role that activities like exploration and pipeline construction have played in causing erosion.
But the corps is responsible for far more dredge material than private industry, and its cooperation is critical. Unfortunately, the agency continues to insist that it's obligated by law to dispose of dredge material in the least costly way. Moving mud miles away to restoration projects is too expensive, corps officials maintain.
The corps needs a lesson in economics. The loss of Louisiana's coastal wetlands has been extremely costly. Erosion of marshland that slows down storm surge and buffers the coast has left Louisiana far more vulnerable to hurricanes. After Katrina, it should be clear how expensive that can be.
Erosion also threatens fisheries that supply 40 percent of the seafood consumed nationally. It puts oil and gas supply lines that fuel the nation at risk: 34 percent of the country's natural gas supply comes through coastal Louisiana and 29 percent of the crude oil.
And erosion imperils the very waterways that the corps is dredging to keep open to navigation. Louis Buatt, assistant secretary for the state Department of Natural Resources, made that point in a white paper he sent to the corps.
That's a persuasive argument, and the corps needs to look at the bigger picture instead of clinging to its narrow interpretation of the rules.
There's also a strong legal argument for using this material for wetlands restoration instead of continuing to waste it. Federal law says that federal agencies must abide by the state's coastal program to the maximum extent feasible -- a requirement that Louisiana officials have been stressing with the corps.
Corps officials say that they can't respond to Louisiana's latest request to use more dredge material until they've had a chance to review it. But the issue isn't difficult to understand. Louisiana is in a fight for its survival. Throwing away this mud is like discarding the contents of a blood bank while patients are dying for want of a transfusion.

Students from high schools across the New Orleans metro area gathered Feb. 23 at the National WWII Museum (D-Day Museum) in New Orleans to participate in the World War II Quiz Bowl Competition. Northshore High School joined the other schools with its team, the Northshore 'Panzers', (named after the German 'Panzers' tanks) made up by senior Patrick Roark and juniors Michael McKinney and Patrick Sprung.
"We had high expectations," said the team sponsor Stacey Herbert. The team came in tenth place two years ago with these same members and, just last year, came in second to Mandeville High School.
The groups participated in six rounds of 10 questions apiece in categories featuring topics such as "The Road to War in Europe," "Road to War in Japan," "WWII Geography," "The Home Front," "WWII in the News," and the large exhibit "The Freedom Pavillion." Some teamwork bonus activities followed
After the first three rounds, Northshore was in seventh place, but "we came storming back." said McKinney. The team turned it around and ended up with a first-place victory by a mere half-point out of the 30 participating teams.
"I think it is important to study WWII and everything around it because the number of living participants of that war is dwindling," commented McKinney on the importance of students studying the War, "It was truly a remarkable time in the history of civilization and its effects are still being felt today."
Herbert had only warm words about the team. "We're fortunate to have three guys who love studying World War II, they're truly passionate about the subject, it's not just rote memorization," she said.
The team is to face off against the other finalist, Central High School from Baton Rouge, for the 2013 Cox WWII Quiz Bowl Championship LIVE on Cox Channel 4 on March 21 from 6 to 7 p.m. CST.CHARITY FOR CHILDREN'S
After the recent success of Northshore High School's Ambassador Program's last service project, "Students 4 Soldiers," the group has decided to kick off another assistance agenda for their Spring service project: Charity for Children's.
The Ambassador's group will be collecting various new-with-tags toys during each lunch to be donated to patients at the Children's Hospital in New Orleans. The event will be a spirit stick competition between the freshmen, sophomore, junior, and senior classes. Whichever grade has the most points at the end of the collection time will win one spirit stick.
Items ranging from bubbles, coloring books, barbies, and remote control cars to video games and Leap Frog systems will be accepted and worth a varying amount of points for each class. Items must be new - no used items will be accepted, no matter their condition.
Junior Ashley Ramirez exclaimed, "I'm really excited for this service project because we are all so fortunate to live healthy lives, and it gives us a chance to give back to the community."
Panthers, this is yet another chance for you to easily support those less fortunate.

Long- struggling television station owner Ion Media Networks Inc. filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on Tuesday in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in New York City.
West Palm Beach-based Ion said it reached an agreement with a group of debt holders to convert its debt to equity.
In its bankruptcy filing, Ion Media listed liabilities of more than $1 billion and assets of less than $50,000. More than 100 subsidiaries of Ion Media also filed for bankruptcy.
A group owning more than 60 percent of Ion's senior secured debt agreed to the restructuring, which would forgive more than $2.7 billion in debt and preferred stock, the company said Tuesday. (more)
Editor's note: ION Media Networks - formerly known as Paxson Communications - owns and operates over 60 television stations across the country.

"We are pleased with the support from our first lien senior debt holders to resolve the company's legacy debt issues and fund our television growth plans," said Ion CEO Brandon Burgess. "We are positioning the business for growth and will emerge from the restructuring in a strong position to serve viewers, clients and stakeholders."
Current programming includes a mix of off-network reruns such as NCIS and Boston Legal, as well as motion pictures. Additional syndicated shows, such as Criminal Minds and Ghost Whisperer, will join the line-up in the second half of the year, along with several originals, including the crime drama Durham County starring Hugh Dillon.
"Durham County" is a Canadian show and Hugh Dillion is this guy from "Flashpoint":
He describes "Durham County" in two interviews. First, in TVGuide:
The second in this interview:
TVGuide.com: You also have a Canadian series, Durham County, that's airing in the U.S. this year on ION Television. What's it about?
Dillon: It's a very dark, nightmarish show about this homicide cop who moves back to his hometown after his partner gets shot and killed. And he discovers his hometown is creepier than when he left. It's a very brutal, nightmarish program — and a very different animal. It's a dark little show.
Sounds interesting to me.
PopStar: The Canadian hit show Durham County which has won over 11 Gemini is coming to the States this September on ION Television. What can we expect to see in this award winning show?
Hugh Dillon: It is an incredibly dark piece of film making. It is a riveting story that deals with a homicide cop that comes back to his hometown and discovers his childhood friend is a serial killer. It is a very dark and disturbing no holds barred type of show however it is very compelling. It is one of those shows that are so addicting you will be hooked from the first frame. It is like watching a great feature film that is finely crafted.

The police received a tip that a woman was soliciting men for sex for a fee at the Tewksbury library. An undercover detective responded and quickly was engaged by a woman exchanging notes offering sexual favors for $60. She was arrested for prostitution and it is learned she had outstanding charges for drug possession.
The city of Boston through Mayor Walsh has recently announced a new tactic for combating sex trafficking by targeting the John's when it comes to prostitution.
Usually it is the prostitute who is arrested and charged with a crime when it comes to prostitution. This new tactic will offer more support and services to prostitutes to help them get off the streets.

Louisville Waterfront Park
Louisville, Kentucky
The master plan and park design reclaims 120 acres of derelict industrial waterfront by re-engaging Louisville and the Ohio River. One million square feet of residential, office, and retail space bracket the sloping centerpiece: the 12 acre Great Lawn. The Overlook is 30 feet above the Ohio and offers wide views across the river, back toward the city skyline and out over the Great Lawn and its events. The Park includes an expansive public gathering space, festival plaza and fountain overcoming barriers of expressway and roads to draw people to the river. The Wharf accommodates large riverboat docking, and also hosts an annual concert series. Festival Plaza was designed around Kentucky Derby festivals as well as seasonal vendors. Riverine landforms afford spectacular views of the river and city from elevated play meadows. The rising landforms enclose more intimate spaces, opening out to inlets and riparian habitat.

LAKE PLACID - Students featured in a recently released documentary film hope it helps spread their message of optimism in fighting climate change.
"I hope it shows people not only the consequences of climate change - you don't want to bring people down - but it gives them that spark of hope, too, that one person or a small group of people can make that change in their lives, or in their schools, that will affect plenty of more people, " said Lake Placid High School junior Cody Bary.
Bary, LPHS senior Erin Weaver and Saranac Lake High School senior Gina Fiorile were three students with prominent roles in "The Resilient Ones: A Generation Takes on Climate Change," which premiered Wednesday night at the High Peaks Resort during the Adirondack Research Consortium's annual conference. It also aired on Mountain Lake PBS Thursday night and will be screened June 13 at The Wild Center nature museum in Tupper Lake.

Produced in partnership with Bright Blue EcoMedia and Mountain Lake PBS, the film follows local high school students on field trips throughout the Adirondack region last fall to places where people, organizations and businesses were either studying or adapting to climate change. The students were preparing for the fifth annual Youth Climate Conference held at The Wild Center last November, where students learn about climate change and draft action plans to address it.
The students went to places such as Fledging Crow Vegetables farm in Keeseville, Intervale Lowlands in Lake Placid and The Wild Center. They also went into the field with Paul Smith's College Professor Curt Stager and Wildlife Conservation Society ecologist Jerry Jenkins, both experts in the climate change field.
At Intervale Lowlands, the students learned from owner Larry Master about his net-zero house. By building with energy efficiency in mind, Master has created a structure that produces more energy than it uses throughout the year. The energy is produced through solar panels.
"Really underlying all of this is ecological design," said director Victor Guadagno of Bright Blue EcoMedia. "We can design systems that are smart. Like (Master) said, you can step into buildings and get 70 percent efficiency just by simple design. Agriculturally, we can design our landscape so that it holds water and gets perennial plants growing."
Guadagno said the original intent of the film was to tell "how towns and cities and people are adapting to climate change in the North Country." However, the direction of the film changed after his crew met the students on the first day of shooting for the film. It was September, and the students were planning for the Youth Climate Summit.
"That night we went back to where we were staying around (Lake Placid) actually, and we said, 'Wow, what if we followed these kids while they plan and host the Youth Climate Summit?" Guadagno said. "So that's what we did, and they became the vehicle to talk to experts about that topic."
Shortly thereafter, Guadagno's crew wound up jumping on the school buses with the students, following them as they interacted with climate change experts and interviewing the students individually.
Lake Placid High School environmental science teacher Tammy Morgan said the field trips were not just a vehicle for telling the story of climate change in the film, but they brought the students closer to communities around them.
"It really connected them to the broader community, not just the teaching world, not just the other kids that they work with at the youth summit," Morgan said. "It allowed them to go out and work with people like Jerry Jenkins in the field outdoors. I think being outside and seeing people that work in nature and work on these problems gave them a better appreciation for what is being done around here."
The field trips also built on lessons the students had learned at previous Youth Climate Summits, encouraging a sense of optimism instead of defeat when fighting this global issue.
"I think one of the students, (Fiorile), said it best," Morgan said. "As we share this message and share our ideas about climate change, it needs to be one of hope and resilience, and that's what comes across really nicely in this film is that it's not about focusing on the problem. It's about focusing on the solution."
Weaver echoed those thoughts.
"I hope that people see (the film) and realize the passion that is in the Adirondack Park and in our youth regarding climate change and all the positive things we can do to combat it," Weaver said. "I hope it will be inspiring."

Just past noon, the bar erupted in a chorus of cheers and clapping. The crowd of 25, decked out in orange and black, patted backs and swapped high fives at tables in front of the jumbo television on which Oklahoma State University battled Purdue in the Heart of Dallas Bowl.
It's not the food, drinks or television they came for on the morning of New Year's Day. It's the atmosphere.
Eugene Moyer has managed the bar at Big Al's for four years, and he said the crowd for big game days has held steady. Bowl games always draw a number of fans, no matter what day of the year or hour of the day.
The bar opened early Tuesday to welcome members of the Oklahoma State University Alumni Association for a 9 a.m. kickoff. Business is best when an Oregon team is on the big screen, Moyer said, but fans of teams from around the country are located in Portland and its suburbs.
"If the game is big, we will draw a crowd no matter what," Moyer said.
The Oklahoma State crowd provided a perfect example, he said, with 25 fans in their orange and black seated at tables around the bar. They broke the usual hum of the room with cheers when their team made a play, turning heads with their enthusiasm. Moyer said they were "fired up" with some help from coffee and bloody Marys to make a morning kick-off after New Year's Eve.
"It's mainly a lot of families," Moyer said. "A lot of die-hard fans who want to see their teams play, sometimes for the last time of the season."
Gayle Shriver, who oversees the Oklahoma State group, said no at-home celebration compares to the camaraderie when fans from the same school or area of the country come together. People put extra value on companionship, and spending part of the day with a group of energetic sports fans is a great way to start a new year.
"A bowl is always a reward, and it's that goodbye to football season," she said. "It's really exciting but it's also kind of sad."
Several miles away at the Sports Page, the scene was different. Rather than a sea of coordinated team colors, a half-dozen scattered patrons perused menus and kept an eye on a handful of the bar's 25 screens.
Hunter Hicks, a bartender at the Sports Page, said at-home game day celebrations may have hurt business a bit, but it can't keep the real fans away from sports bars. People come for the experience, where they can turn around and high-five a stranger when their team makes a play or cheer as loud as they want with no concern for neighbors.
"If you live in an apartment and can't fit 12 of your buddies in to watch the game, you can all come to the Sports Page," he said. "It's just a good, fun time."

THE Suicide Act is the harshest of its kind in Europe. Assisting a suicide is not a crime in Sweden, Finland, Switzerland, Germany and France, nor in the Netherlands and Belgium, where medical help to die is rigorously legislated for. But a person who helps another to commit suicide in Britain, even if that person is dying, is liable to a jail sentence of up to 14 years.
This applies even when the dying person has asked for help to die and it is provided by a doctor acting compassionately. The application of the Act is erratic and arbitrary. This

Owens arrested for allegedly making meth
PARKERSBURG – A Parkersburg man was arrested Saturday afternoon for allegedly attempting to make methamphetamine.
The Parkersburg Narcotics Task Force reported Wayne Owens Jr., 27, 914 Laverne St., was arrested Saturday on a felony charge of operating or attempting to operate a clandestine methamphetamine laboratory.
He was placed in the Wood County Holding Facility on Saturday to await arraignment in Wood County Magistrate Court. If convicted on the charge, he faces a possible penalty of two to 10 years in prison.
The PNTF reported that about 2:30 p.m. Saturday, Wood County Sheriff's Deputies were dispatched to Room 136 of the Travelodge Hotel at 3604 East Seventh St., Parkersburg, in reference to a chemical odor coming from the room. Deputies arrived and made contact with the occupant, identified as Owens. Upon contact the deputies immediately detected a strong chemical odor coming from inside the room. Deputies also noticed items in plain view that are consistent with the use of or manufacturing of methamphetamine, the task force reported.
Deputies secured the scene and notified the task force for assistance. Agents then obtained a search warrant for the room and located numerous items that indicated the manufacturing of methamphetamine and amounts of suspected methamphetamine. Also located in the room were a handgun, ammunition, U.S. currency, scales and bags for packaging, the task force reported.
The Parkersburg Violent Crime and Narcotics Task Force is comprised of investigators from the Parkersburg Police Department, Wood County Sheriff's Office, Vienna Police Department and West Virginia State Police.

2 pounds chicken drumsticks
1 can gluten-free seasoned
bread crumbs
¼ teaspoon Italian seasonings
¼ teaspoon parsley
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Take a gallon-size freezer bag and fill half-way with gluten free bread crumbs. Put the chicken into the bag and seal. Shake bag over the sink until chicken is completely coated with bread crumbs.
In a 9-by-9-inch baking pan, add an 1/8- to ¼-inch of water. This helps to prevent the chicken from sticking to the pan and also avoids using oil.
Remove chicken from bag and place in pan.
Bake for 45 to 60 minutes.
Makes 4 servings.

ERIC Workaround During Sequester Outage
ERIC Workaround During Sequester Outage
October 4, 2013
Due to the Federal Government sequester, my favorite publicly accessible interface to the ERIC aka "Education Research Information Clearinghouse" database is not working. In place of using the awesome http://eric.ed.gov website, I recommend the first of the following two vendor platform options. Especially notice how they each handle searches that utilize the ERIC Thesaurus (which I highly recommend you use for precise and powerful searching.)
Try them both and let me know which you prefer!

nah, it won't ruin your chances, but work hard and try to get an A--it might help knowing that stuff for the AP exam, which can get you out of college science classes if the math/science/engineering fields aren't your desire.

|By 1337 (1337) on Wednesday, January 07, 2004 - 01:30 am: Edit
Working hard of course will help, but what separates the B's from the A's is creativity.
Most "A" students can easily visualize problems, think of different methods of attack and think in a more creative manner. This skill comes with experience. For example, one might know all the formulas involved but not know how to apply them to such a unique and challenging Mech. 3 AP problem or test problem.
It's a skill that is extremeley necessary for engineers to have.
Learn to think like an engineer.
Of course this is easier said than done.
Good luck

ok heres what my thoughts....im applying to college as a theatre magior...do u think in some way that will make up for my low ap physics grade. What really sux is that the semester fianl is worth 1/3 of our grade...so even though i did ok last quarter and this quarter i dont see how i will do well on the final...i have heard it is amazingly hard....everyone elese in ap physics do u guys have a set curve that you are graded on that is much lower then normal curves....like in our class a 76% and above is an A...and i am still doing bad!
|By Nutmag345 (Nutmag345) on Wednesday, January 07, 2004 - 03:53 pm: Edit
Well, just keep plugging away because colleges recognize that A.P Physics C is one of the toughest courses you can take in school (if not THE toughest).
|By Nutmag345 (Nutmag345) on Wednesday, January 07, 2004 - 03:56 pm: Edit
And you are lucky to have a class where a freaking 76 % is an A. My teacher does not curve at all, and we do real AP problems on our tests and quizes (from old tests that you can't find on the net of course). The teacher does not seem to care that pretty much everybody has a D.
|By Massmom (Massmom) on Wednesday, January 07, 2004 - 04:05 pm: Edit
My son is taking AP Physics, it's graded on a curve. He is using the same textbook as I did in college, although a much newer addition. Teacher is using exams written by the textbook author - he says the course is harder than what they will see on the AP exam, and that it will prepare the kids well for physics in college. I think there was one A last term in a class of 14, all top students. All exams are take home, most given over a weekend. It seems harder (or at least more work) than what I took as an engineering major.

it's C without the fun stuff - calculus. You still have torque and some other hard stuff but otherwise it's a joke compared to C
|By Nyapplicant (Nyapplicant) on Friday, January 09, 2004 - 12:06 am: Edit
i got an a first quarter, and i'm riding on a b second. I have no calculus background other than whatever i've learned in my calc ab class (which is useless; we just started integral calculus today!).
By the way, we have only two grades per quarter. This quarter, we have a mechanics final (got a b) and a midterm. both are 50% of our averages!
heavy curves -- my 24 / 45 = B on the last test. the class average was a 19, highest grade 32. Very VERY hard stuff.
|By Vsage3 (Vsage3) on Friday, January 09, 2004 - 12:35 am: Edit
I played video games and got an A first semester. Then again, I happened to self-study all of basic physics when I took the physics sat II. I sort of also had calc I-III already where you basically learn the same thing thats in physics C (torque, instantaneous velocity/acceleration, work, etc). Chem is way harder ;;. BTW my teacher mad curves the tests too. I finished last grading period with a 112
|By Starzfun82 (Starzfun82) on Friday, January 09, 2004 - 03:21 pm: Edit
I loved AP Chem, thought it was quite easy... I have AP Physics B, though our teacher just goes through the whole college textbook. "Just because it's not on the AP test doesnt mean you dont need to now it"... We only offer B at my school because you cant take Calc/AP Calc until senior year, so you take in concurrently w/ ap physics. Though my teacher did attempt to teach us derivatives and integrals the 2nd day of school as "useful info". I dont have to tell you how well that went over, lol ;)
|By Vsage3 (Vsage3) on Friday, January 09, 2004 - 05:06 pm: Edit
harder is a relative term . I have an A in there from minimal effort also. Then again, A doesn't really mean I am qualified to know much.
|By Sid_Mathur (Sid_Mathur) on Sunday, January 18, 2004 - 07:41 pm: Edit
unfortunately, my school doesn't offer AP Physics B which I would much rather take considering I never took a high school physics course. I find AP Physics C very frustrating, even though I finished calculus BC last year. I'm praying to God that i'll do well on my midterm this week.
|By Wo4567 (Wo4567) on Sunday, January 18, 2004 - 09:47 pm: Edit
my AP physics class is awesome. it is so hard but everybody has an A. HOW, YOU ASK?
we study together! we do our homework in the "group of eight" all of us know each other and respect each other for our faults and strengths. case: we have one guy who is OBSESSED with relative theory. I happen to be fascinated with string theory. another guy is a calculus genius. two other guys provide comic relief (hahaha... they dont do much... ) these guys help us out a lot though b/c the rest of us have to teach them. this solidifies what we know as well as making them understand what the **** is going on. our teacher has us do group projects. for example: we did a "group of eight" project in which we had to calculate everything that was going on inside a super-conducting super-collider. from particulate matter to speeds close to c we all came together to figure out what was going on inside a device which (as we calculated) not even bill gates could pay the energy bill for. i love that class so much.
advice to those of you who arent passing>>>> work with your resources and DONT STUDY ALONE IT DOESNT WORK!!!!!!!!!!!!
|By Jersey220 (Jersey220) on Sunday, January 18, 2004 - 09:57 pm: Edit
Why are you complaining about a B?! I thought I was the only person failing AP Physics. Then, I felt relieved that someone else was in my boat, and then crushed that the person that was failing physics has a B!!! I guess I am the only person failing. I hope I can boost it up to a C.

The column that says we knew we would crack the Salem County surface sooner or later.
Good evening!
But 100 percent chance of rain.
And it's going down to 31 degrees tonight.
There is someone alive who "worked'' for the Ferracute Machine Co. in Bridgeton.
We're talking 1928, the year Oberlin Smith, the owner, died.
His name is David Ansink Coleman and he lives in Elsinboro.
He is 91 years old.
"Every summer, I would go live with my grandfather for two or three at 377 N. Pearl St., in Bridgeton.
"I was 7 and 8 years old.
"His name was David
Ansink and I'm named after him.
"At noon every day, I would walk the railroad tracks down to the Ferracute company, where my grandfather worked in the carpenter shop making crates for shipping machines and machine parts.
"He would give me a board and a hammer and a nail and I would build my own little crate.''
From the Cumberland County SPCA:
"Those of you who have visited the shelter over the past weeks have probably noticed that there is a bit of a chill in the air.
"Are we testing out new doggie sweaters? Do we want the staff modeling the latest in CCSPCA sweatshirts and jackets?
"Actually, the heater boiler in our shelter decided that it was no longer interested in functioning.
"After only eight years, the system died, leaving us scrambling to find a way to keep the building at the right temperature to allow the animals and visitors to be comfortable while a new system was put in place.
"Our volunteers rallied.
"Generators, power cords and portable heaters arrived to help keep the animals comfortable.
"The heater guys are here working and hope to have our new heater in place and running by mid-week.
"We'd like to thank our volunteers and supporters who came to the rescue in keeping us comfortable during this hard time.
"Of course, we can also use any donations you'd like to give since we were not expecting to have to replace our heating system at such a young age.''
"The mayor of Maurice River Township doesn't want to hold his breath waiting to get action on dike repair.
"He will get green in the gills.
"We have been waiting 20-plus years for dike repair.
"A little too long, I would say.''
— Shep
That's your problem, Shep.
You want everything inside of 20 years.
Patience, man.
Government doesn't work that way.
"I read your article on Jim and Shirley (Fonash, owners of Charlesworth Hotel in Fortescue) and from being a customer, I have made friends with them.
"After interviewing them, I'm sure you can see why.
"We are going to try to help get sand there, but they need help getting dump trucks.
"Is there a way maybe in an article that your paper could put out a word calling for dump truck volunteers?
"They are the kindest people who would help anyone who needed it and now as we see they need it. If not for anything else, at least to save the bulkhead for the neighboring properties, as Jim stated.
"I am struggling as to whom to contact.
"LoBiondo, Christie, even Van Drew, but not sure who to approach and what exactlyis needed for what appears to be a forgotten, simple community.
"Any help/advice you can give would be appreciated.
"Thank you.''

To the Readers' Forum:
On Thursday, May 10, we arrived at Bergman Park with my three-year-old great-grandson and saw a group of Persell School students on the playground. We warned him that he probably wouldn't find anyone to play with. We were wrong.
I want to say a special thank you to the four ''big boys'' who followed him around playing Spider Man with him for at least a half an hour. What a thrill for him. You made his day and touched my heart.
If you are a Persell parent of a son, ask him if he was one of those boys. If he was, give him a hug and tell him you're proud of him.

Yankees Dominate Red Sox in Connecticut Popularity, Poll Shows; Not in Eastern CT
"Boston's World Series victory doesn't mean beans in Connecticut, where more fans back the New York Yankees—the favorites for four years now," Douglas Schwartz, PhD, director of the Quinnipiac University poll, said in a release Tuesday announcing that despite their World Series win, the Sox still trail the Yankees 43 to 38 percent in terms of popularity in the state.
"Men and women have shifted, but the overall result is little changed. The Yankees' huge margin in Fairfield County gives them a statewide edge," Schwartz said of the results of Quinnipiac's 12th Annual Connecticut Baseball Poll.
A look back at Quinnipiac's "Annual Connecticut Baseball Playoff" from June 2013, however, shows that not only do the Red Sox mean lots of beans for some Connecticut baseball fans—but that the "beans" quotient for these folks shot up after the World Series win.
Last June, in a survey done when Quinnipiac said the state's governor's race was too close to call, Boston topped the Yankees 49 to 32 percent in Tolland, Windham and New London Counties. Now, after another Series title for Boston, the Sox' reign 61 to 26 percent in Tolland, Windham and New London Counties—a rise of 12 percentage points, or 24 percent.
That's some "beans," fans might declare in Eastern Connecticut, home to the state's Quiet Corner, a misnomer when it comes to the beloved Sox. Maybe this swath of the state should re-brand itself as Red Sox Nation South?
Overall, though, the Yankees do rule the roost in Connecticut, propelled to their popularity victory by their own "hometown" crowd, the folks in Fairfield County.
"New York neighbors in Fairfield County go [for] the Yankees 57 to 15 percent, while Hartford County goes to the Sox 51 to 36 percent," Qunnipiac says. (Only 8 percent of Connecticut fans cheer for the New York Mets.)
The current overall Yankees-over-Sox lead of 43 to 38 percent compares to a 42-to-37 percent Yankees lead in the June 20, 2013, survey by Quinnipiac. Back then, Fairfield County went to the Yankees 55 to 15 percent, while Hartford County went to the Sox 50 to 35 percent.
Women fans are divided in the new poll, with 44 percent cheering for the Red Sox and 42 percent for the Yankees, Quinnipiac says, compared to last year, when women went for Yankees 48 to 35 percent. Men surveyed back the Yankees 44 to 34 percent, compared to last year when they split with 40 percent for the Sox and 37 percent for the Yankees, according to the release on the new survey.
"In today's survey, a total of 52 percent of Connecticut adults say they are 'very interested' or 'somewhat interested' in Major League Baseball," Quinnipiac says.
From Feb. 26 to March 2, Quinnipiac University surveyed 2,146 Connecticut adults with a margin of error of +/- 2.1 percentage points. Live interviewers call landlines and cell phones.
The Quinnipiac University Poll conducts public opinion surveys in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Florida, Ohio, Virginia, Iowa, Colorado and the nation as a public service and for research, the release said.

Part of Route 65 southbound was shut down Thursday morning when an SUV flipped over on the side of the road.
The driver lost control, hit a utility pole and overturned in Glen Osborne, Allegheny County.

The driver was taken to a hospital, but was not believed to be seriously injured.
The southbound lanes were closed, but have since reopened.
Some roads remained slick and messy during the morning commute after Wednesday's winter storm brought snow and freezing rain to the area.

This thread was made already
Although they may not have revealed this in the E for All demos, one way of checking would be cycling through the costume choices. obviously if there are 8 different costumes for each character, you will be able to play 8 player multiplayer. BUT, i do not think that just because there are 4 costumes you CAN'T do 8 players, because maybe they are hiding the others or something.
Did anyone go to e for all and check on this?

Super Street Fighter 2 had what 6 different costume types and only 2 players. A SNES game. Maybe people are over thinking it. 8 player SSBB isn't possible with the current stage designs. Perhaps 4 players in observer mode and 4 in combat. That would reduce the odds of losing a few players from lag and having blank spots.
It's a 1-4 player game but they might make it a 1-8 player game. but not 1-16 anymore because they found out it'll make it freeze to often
8 player matches would be unbelieveably awesome, but personally I don't think it will happen. I agree with other people's points of the graphics/frame rate etc would just take too much of a beating. Unless the creators have another secret up their sleeve! But unfortunately I doubt it.

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- An Ohio Department of Taxation employee pleaded guilty this week to charges related to not refunding businesses that overpaid state taxes.
Rick Anthony, 54, pleaded guilty in Franklin County Municipal Court to dereliction of duty, a second degree misdemeanor. The wrongdoing was unveiled last year in an investigation by the Ohio Inspector General.
The report found taxation officials failed to return about $31 million to companies because the department did not to notify companies if they overpaid. State law only required refunds if a business contacted the department within three years for corporate franchise tax overpayments or four years for employer withholding, school district withholding and sales and use tax.
The IG report concluded Anthony, former deputy tax commissioner, was responsible for holding up $9 million in refunds dating back to 1999.
Emails obtained by the IG showed Anthony brought up the issue and instructed employees to refund companies who had overpaid after July 1, 2009 but only refunded earlier overpayments if a company requested the refund. The department also withheld interest due to the companies.
Inspector General Randall Meyer determined Anthony failed to follow Ohio law that requires the department to refund overpayments plus interest. Anthony paid a $750 fine, according to court records.
At the close the investigation, Tax Commissioner Joe Testa said the department was working toward refunding overpayments.
State lawmakers passed a bill earlier this year changing state law to require the Tax Department to automatically issue refunds for overpayments.

Coach Larry Fedora doesn't have a traditional five-year plan to return the Golden Eagles to prominence in Conference USA. He's intent on a three-year plan.
A former Oklahoma State offensive coordinator, Fedora was hired three years ago from OSU coach Mike Gundy's staff and is impatient enough, and confident enough, to believe this is the year he leads the Golden Eagles to a league title. What has him sensing success is a defense that returns nine starters and an offense that has two proven quarterbacks.

Indiana's Secretary of State Todd Rokita has busted a cemetery scam in Indiana.
According to a release from Rokitya's office, hundreds of residents across Indiana were seeking peace when they contributed to their local cemetery's trust fund for their and their loved one's perpetual care.
Covington Memorial Gardens, Inc. and Covington Memorial Funeral Home, Inc., Fort Wayne were among six Indiana facilities, that along with the families of deceased Hoosiers, were defrauded in a securities-related scam which could cost Hoosiers over $27 million.
New Jersey resident Robert Nelms is the owner and president of Memory Gardens Management Corp., an Indiana corporation that owns and operates cemetery property and funeral homes, and he is targeted in Rokita's broad investigation.
Rokita's Securities Prosecution Assistance Unit (PAU) has finished detailing Nelms' scheme after dedicating over 1,000 man-hours to the investigation. They have worked with the Marion County prosecutor's office to file criminal charges which were filed Thursday.
"Robert Nelms represents one of the worst elements of society; taking advantage of honest people who have chosen to invest their money for respectful purposes," Rokita said. "We have meticulously detailed his scheme and we are shocked at the extent that Nelms has taken to defraud honest Hoosiers. "He came into our state with a purpose. Now, he'll wish he hadn't," says Rokita.
In Indiana, the owner of a private cemetery is required by law to provide for the creation and establishment of an irrevocable perpetual care fund. The fund is designed for the purpose of permanently maintaining cemeteries for the benefit of the community and those who purchase lots there.
According to Rokita, Nelms used fraudulent securities instruments similar to corporate bonds to transfer the $27 million of cash and assets of the MGMC perpetual care fund. He hid the money through a variety of complex monetary transfers and then used it to pay some of the MGMC purchase price as well as for various personal reasons, such as his large home in Greenwood.
He has been charged with a series of felonies, including fraud-related violations of Indiana's Securities law, theft and conspiracy to commit theft. Currently, Michigan is also reviewing Nelms' scheme, but no Michigan prosecutor has filed criminal charges.
Including the Fort Wayne properties, the MGMC properties and funeral homes Nelms raided include:
*Forest Lawn Memory Gardens, Inc. and Forest Lawn Memorial Chapel, Inc., Greenwood
*Chapel Hill Associates, Inc. and Chapel Hill Funeral Home, Inc., Osceola
*Lincoln Memory Gardens, Inc., Boone County
*Gardens of Memory, Muncie
Gill Funeral Home, Inc., Washington
The PAU has filed charges in 26 high-profile investment fraud cases in Indiana since 2004. The unit has a 25-to-1 conviction-to-dismissal record with over 200 years of jail time sentenced to date.

OK, so the super-secret Shins show wasn't so secret after all. But man, oh man was it a show. During the Blackbird's fourth-to-last night, the recent Portland arrivals showed this town what world-class songwriting sounds like. After solid sets from E*rock and the All Girl Summer Fun Band, the Shins took the stage to cheers from the packed and sweaty crowd. Starting out with a few songs from 2001's wonderfully hazy Oh Inverted World (Sub Pop), the band spared little time in revealing Chutes Too Narrow (Sub Pop), set to be released Oct. 21. The new stuff is a little edgier, less baroque pop and more stripped-down rock. "Kissing the Lipless," the lead-off track from the new album, was a hit with the crowd. The anthemic chorus of the song reveals a new urgency in the music, shouting where the old songs might sigh and get wistful, and upping the tempo a bit. If the album is half as good as the live version, Portland will likely have a new favorite band. Cheers, Shins, you wear it well.
Apparently folks at Berbati's just don't listen. When a heckler shouted down noise experimentalists Animal Collective during their opening set for Múm at the downtown club, front-row concertgoers held their breath and hoped the rant was a one-off. But as the headlining Icelandic laptop-popsters unfolded their set of new material, the drone of moronic mingling became impossible to ignore. The text-messaging cell-phone nuts were the last straw: Folks who paid the 12 bucks to actually hear the performances fled the scene and put in a tiny prayer for the bands' forgiveness and a return visit to a more safe and sound Rose City.
Anybody attending the jam-packed "Evening with the Dandy Warhols" shouldn't have been surprised by the self-indulgent nature of the show. This was, after all, a three-hour show from a band whose entire body of work is barely that long. All in all, there were about 40 minutes of good pop mixed in with two--yawn--hours of drugged-out noodling and shoegazing sonics. Hiss & Vinegar took this time to get to know the crowd and concentrate on alcohol consumption, pausing when the Dandys tapped into their pop sensibilities, tearing into "Godless" or slinking their way through their latest's greatest, "Last High." The biggest surprise of the night, though, was the poor sound. The overwhelming bassy hum of the synth tended to drown out Courtney Taylor-Taylor's low and lusty vocals. Even when there was no bass line, it sounded as though the lead man had swallowed the mic whole. Hiss & Vinegar's suggestion for the next "evening": Leave the mic alone, swallow the pride.

Nicotinamide Riboside Food Sources
Nicotinamide Riboside is a natural ingredient that is found in milk. It is actually related to niacin and other forms of vitamin B3. This molecule has become more and more popular today because of various scientific studies that prove its ability to prevent obesity by helping you fight weight gain. Researchers have found that this molecule can serve as a unique supplement that will boost one's metabolism to help burn off more calories and prevent weight gain. Apart from preventing weight gain, it also helps boost muscle performance, increase energy expenditure, and minimize the risk factors of diabetes. What makes this milk ingredient even more appealing is that it does not have any side effects.
Basically, nicotinamide riboside is a naturally occurring precursor of NAD+. What NAD does it is allows sugars, proteins, and fats to be converted into energy. Thus, this process simply shows that nicotinamide riboside boosts NAD levels in the cells of mammals to burn sugars, proteins, and fats as energy to encourage weight loss. In order to further study the many health benefits of nicotinamide riboside (NR), Dr. Suave invented a straightforward methodology to synthesize NR so that it could be studied on a much larger scale. This method of synthezization is patented by Cornell's Center for Technology Enterprise and Commercialization and is licensed to ChromaDex Corportation.
Nicotinamide Riboside Research
Nicotinamide riboside has been tested in various research experiments. The vitamin has shown significant positive results on mice that were fed a high-fat diet. Research shows that mice taking nicotinamide riboside in high doses in combination with their high-fat diets can minimize their risk of getting diabetes while preventing them from gaining weight. In addition, the molecules provided their muscles with more endurance to make them run faster for a longer period of time. The same benefits that were observed in mice have also been reported by people that wanted to provide their honest opinion about the vitamin. Hence, researchers are thinking of conducting other experiments and various tests on humans in order to sort out essential details and show that it can provide amazing health benefits.
Benefits Of Nicotinamide Riboside
In a Swiss research center, they also found that mice taking nicotinamide riboside had experienced a significant amount of weight loss while being on a high-fat diet. These mice lost much more weight than the group of mice that were fed the same diet without nicotinamide riboside. Researchers also observed that NR gave mice a lot more energy compared to the mice in the placebo group. In addition, mice that were given NR showed lower cholesterol levels than those that were not given NR. All of these benefits came without any adverse side effects. At present, researchers are still continuing their studies for using nicotinamide riboside as a nutritional supplement to fight obesity and other metabolic disorders.

As Doug Smith and a group of his fellow motorcycle riders gathered at his home before a short ride recently, one of the hazards they frequently encounter made an appearance a few homes up the street.
A car backed out of a driveway into the street, apparently without looking.
Almost everyone noticed it with a well-practiced shake of their heads and a grumble or two.
Article Photos
Sheila Evans, of Fort Dodge, leads a group of her friends as they go on a recent spring ride in Fort Dodge. Local riders are urging motorists to watch out for them and be aware of their presence.
"That's the type of stuff you have to watch," he said.
Smith, coordinator for A Brotherhood Aimed Towards Education District 10, sees a lot of potential danger.
"You have to drive defensively," he said. "You basically have to drive for everybody else."
As the temperatures warm, the motorcycles come back out onto the roads, many motorists in cars are simply not prepared for them.
"It seems to be people aren't aware," he said. "It's been too cold."
Smith said he often sees drivers that are distracted, frequently with cell phones that they are either talking on or sending text messages with.
D.L. Peterson, the ABATE state coordinator for their Share the Road campaign, has a simple message for drivers encounter motorcycles again.
"Take a second look, look twice," he said.
In addition to drivers still getting used to sharing the road with motorcycles, Peterson and Smith both said that riders encounter a lot of other hazards.
Sand and gravel left on the road from the winter's snow melting efforts, potholes that have opened up during the thaw, cracks in the road and strips of sealant that have been torn out of road joints by snowplows all make for some dodging and weaving that a motorist needs to be aware of.
Stay back.
"Most motorists set too close of a following distance," Smith said.
In addition, a vehicle in front of a bike can easily kick those loose objects up onto the rider.
While a pothole is usually only a nuisance to a driver in a car, to a motorcyclist, it can be a health hazard.
"It can throw you off the bike," Smith said.
"We will swerve around them," Peterson said. "You'll drive over them."
In spite of riding defensively and doing everything they can to make themselves visible. Almost all of the gathered group has had a close call or two.
For Smith, it was sitting at a stop sign waiting to leave an event.
"An elderly lady missed the front of my bike by an inch," he said.
For Mark Loots, state trustee, it's gone beyond that.
"I've been hit twice," he said. "Lots of close calls too."
Sheila and Mick Evans, of Fort Dodge, have been riding together for years. They said that many riders are older individuals that have gotten back onto a motorcycle after a long hiatus.
They recommend two things, making sure the bike they are riding is set up properly to fit them and taking a rider education course.
"If it's been 20 years since you've been on a bike you need to refresh yourself," Mick Evans said.
She agrees.
"Even as an experienced rider it's a good course to take," Sheila Evans said.
ABATE offers several of those courses. They can be signed up for through their website.
Mark Loots has one last request from the motorists he will be sharing the road with.
"Just watch for us," he said.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: my 3 year old is a much "older" 3 than her brothers were at that age. While at 3 they were watching Sesame Street and playing with Thomas the Tank Engine, Molly's serenading the family with Katy Perry lyrics.
She's totally potty trained and said bye bye to the binky months ago, and the fact that she's off the charts for her size even makes her look like an older child.
There's one vestige of toddler-hood that she's hanging onto, though: the sippy cup.
My 3 year old is my baby and I'll be honest— I may have encouraged her to hang onto her baby ways too long. The pacifier, for instance, was harder for me to watch her give up than it ever was for her. But when it comes to the sippy cup, I am more than ready.
She's the one who's hanging on.
The many, many sippy cups we once had have been reduced to a pair, a pink Disney Princess one with a missing valve and a green Dora one with a chewed-up lid. She insists on drinking only from one of these sippy cups even though she's perfectly capable of using a regular one by now.
Her preschool teachers tell me that she has no problem drinking from the same kind of cup as the rest of her classmates, and I've never heard a complaint from her grandmother's sippy-less house. It's only a problem at home, which tells me that it's time to ditch it all together.
Even though I know it's time and I'm definitely ready to not have to keep track of sippies and matching lids, it won't be easy for me to watch her leave another bit of babyhood behind.
We're moving into uncharted waters now, with no more cribs, diapers, or sippy cups, and it's bittersweet.
Does your 3 year old still use a sippy cup?

While the transition from college ball to the NFL is often a daunting one for most rookies, skill position players can often make an instant impact due to their supreme athleticism.
Beyond the obvious pro-ready candidates like Southern California quarterback Matt Barkley and South Carolina running back Marcus Lattimore, there's a lengthy list of skill players—both on offense and defense—who should be big-time first-year contributors.
On offense, Barkley's No. 1 target—junior Robert Woods—looks primed to be a first-year starter while Clemson running back Andre Ellington displays the skills as a runner and returner to earn early playing time.
Defensively, the SEC shines as both Alabama and LSU feature a pair of pro-ready defensive backs who should be immediate starters.
Let's take a look at the 10 skill position players who will make instant impacts in 2013.

Some guys like to use 6" pieces of wire to tie the bundle together; they're easy to take apart when you want to add or subtract a cable. > Seems like it would be a lot easier to string cables on the outside of the tower. Bingo! I will only run cables inside a tower if the owner holds a gun to my head - it's just too much hassle for little or no practical usefulness. > More specifically, in addition to a fairly large complement of coax (5 runs) and control cables (7 runs), I'm thinking about putting a couple of runs of 1-5/8" hardline (because that's what I have) up to my stack switch at about 65'. Seems to me it will be difficult to feed this stuff into the tower and it may be better to run it on the outside. Has anyone out there run 1-5/8" hardline up a ham tower? How did you do it and how did you attach it to the tower? First, you should use a hoisting grip or Kellum grip to pull the cable up - it weighs a couple of pounds per foot. It spreads the weight over a large area of the cable safely so you don't damage it. Then attach the hoisting grip to a brace and it'll support the whole weight. Using a hose clamp or two is another way to secure it. Then black tie wraps will finish it off. Do not use white tie wraps - they're not UV resistant and will fall apart in a year or two.
