A study published in Diabetes Care shows that cacaoflavonoids and soy isoflavones may improve biomarkers of cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk in postmenopausal women with type 2 diabetes.
The one-year, double-blind controlled clinical trial consisted of 93 medicated postmenopausal women with type 2 diabetes. Subjects were randomly allocated to consume 27 g/day (split dose) of flavonoid-enriched chocolate (Barry Callebaut ACTICOA chocolate containing 850 mg flavan-3-ols [90 mg epicatechin] and 100 mg of isoflavones [aglycone equivalents)]/day) or a matched placebo.
At the conclusion of this trial, the combined one-year intervention with flavan-3-ols and isoflavones resulted in an improvement in biomarkers of CVD risk in postmenopausal type 2 diabetic patients, compared to placebo. These data highlight the additional benefit of dietary flavonoids to standard drug therapy in managing CVD risk in this group of patients.

Aa journalist for TV news channel France 24, was assaulted and suffered antisemitic abuse while reporting on the election of Marine Le Pen to the presidency of the extreme-right National Front party last weekend.
Mickael Szames said he was taking snapshots of Ms Le Pen dancing with her father at a post-election cocktail party when he was attacked by security guards.
Reporting the next morning on France 24, Mr Szames said: "Eight FN security officers knocked me to the ground and hit me repeatedly for taking pictures at the reception.
"They later took my cell phone and demanded I delete the pictures, which were of no journalistic value whatsoever. They confiscated my press card and my watch."
Mr Szames also said guards verbally abused him using antisemitic
"You s--t journalist, we'll knock your teeth out," was one of the threats made against him, he said.
Mr Szames later said he filed a lawsuit against the National Front's security detail; the party has since threatened to sue France 24 for reporting on the event.Ms Le Pen, 42, who is succeeding her father, Jean-Marie, 82, denied Mr Szames's version of events, saying he had unlawfully entered a private party and took unauthorised pictures. He was not assaulted but simply ejected from the premises, she inisted.
Mr Le Pen said: "Szames thought he could say that he was expelled because he was Jewish. Well, this wasn't mentioned on his journalist card or on his nose!
"Commenting on her father's remark, Ms Le Pen said he should not have mentioned the reporter's nose, but his forehead.
CRIF, the umbrella organisation representing French Jews, said Mr Le Pen was a source of spite.

As proclaimed in this week's cover story, summer is here, no matter what your calendar may say.
Now, believe me, I'm not going to be running around in a tiny swimsuit like some of the folks Brittany Nunn talked to for her story, but I am getting ready for summer in my own way.
Mostly, that involves getting our readers ready for summer.
On May 25, Get Out! will run a summer fun calendar, and we need your help to make sure it's as exhaustive as possible. We'll list touring bands and town festivals, block parties and boozefests — in short, any public event that'll offer any combination of tunes, suds and good times.
Obviously, that'll include Merle Haggard's June 21 concert at Amarillo Civic Center Auditorium, Cooder Graw's reunion show at Midnight Rodeo on June 22, Joe King Carrasco's gig at Golden Light Cantina on June 16 and the Coors Cowboy Club Ranch Rodeo on June 1 and 2.
But I'd also like to include regional festivals, like the Miami Cow Calling Contest or any of the other wonderful small town celebrations that dot our area.
To make sure your event is listed, drop me an email by May 18.
Of course, one of Amarillo's big summer activities actually comes before Memorial Day weekend — Homer's Backyard Ball.
I've already spoken with Cody Canada, Gary P. Nunn and The Tejas Brothers for an article about the outdoor music festival for next week's issue, and I'll be speaking with several other local musicians who'll also be performing at the event.
And this year, for the first time in way too long, I'll actually get a chance to go out and enjoy the party myself. But, naturally, I'll be working.
I'll write more about this next week, but we're developing a contest: Chasin' Chandler (finally, something for all my stalkers!)
I will tweet hints about my whereabouts every hour or so during the day, so make sure you're following me on Twitter (@chipchandler1). Prizes will be given out throughout the day for readers who find me.
For more details, check next week's column.
Speaking of Homer's, a preview of my interview with headliner Cody Canada:
Canada's new band, The Departed, will make its Amarillo debut at the ball, though Canada has a long history with Amarillo and with Homer's itself.
His legendary former band, Cross Canadian Ragweed, broke up in 2010 when founding member Randy Ragsdale quit to spend more time with his family. After its founding in Stillwater, Okla., in the late 1990s, Ragweed first started breaking into markets in Western states after making its Amarillo debut.
Canada said he's eager to return to Amarillo, viewing it like you might about returning to your old college stomping grounds for a visit.
"I've been explaining this band the same way," he said. "It's like the dreams you have when you're 35 and going back to school. You know a lot more.
"That's the way I feel about going to Amarillo and to Lubbock. They're where Ragweed got its start with Cooder Graw, when we swapped shows in Texas and Oklahoma."
And finally, one of the Amarillo musicians playing Homer's, Casey Berry, enters the next round of competition Friday to record a live album at Billy Bob's.
Berry and the other Top 10 finalists filmed videos at the Fort Worth institution on Sunday, which will be posted at www.liveatbillybobstexas.com. Voting ends at midnight on May 20; the winner is announced the next day.
Features Editor Chip Chandler can be reached at 806-345-3320 or email@example.com. His blog appears on amarillo.com. Find him on Facebook: ChipChandlerAGN. Follow him on Twitter: @chipchandler1.

It's been said many ways, but there's a basic belief that we can't love another until we love ourselves.
Clayton resident Dawn A. Gacutan found the truth behind this age-old sentiment when she was in her mid-20s, and a single mother of two.
"I began to notice different things in my life," Gacutan said. "Something was missing. It was love."
That's when she began the search to find out exactly what love is.
She documents her experiences and shares her findings in her new book, "Living Life Loved: Keys to Understanding, Accepting and Living in the Love of God."
"Love is the foundation of what life is really about," she said.
She began by finding self-love and she did that through her belief in the love of God.
"Love is not emotional, it's a decision and a commitment," Gacutan said. "You have to learn to receive God's love and believe that God loves you enough."
Gacutan said that once you believe in God's love, and experience self-love, you can start to realize which people in your life are beneficial to your existence.
"If I allow someone to continue to hurt me, I don't love myself enough to walk away," she said. "Once you love yourself, you will be able to extend that love to someone else. Hurt people hurt other people. It all begins with a foundation."
Gacutan wrote and published her book, "Living Life Loved: Keys to Understanding, Accepting and Living in the Love of God," in 2009, after overcoming several obstacles and challenges of her own.
She stresses the importance of opening up to God, understanding his word, and realizing that "no matter what we think or want for our lives, through good times and bad, we are loved."
In addition to her writing, Gacutan enjoys speaking about "Living Life Loved" and hopes
to one day, hold conferences under her title.
Gacutan's book can be found anywhere books are sold and on Amazon.com.

SAGINAW, MI — After finishing her best season Thursday, Stephanie Jones plans to retire from bowling.
Except for one league, on one night.
And one legacy.
Jones, the Saginaw Women's Bowler of the Year for the second consecutive season, will captain the women's team in the Saginaw-Flint All-Star matches, which begin at noon Tuesday, May 14, at Richfield Lanes in Flint. The competition finishes Thursday, May 16, at Crooked Creek.
But on one night in July, Jones' passion for bowling 300 games and 800 series changed. Bowling became, as it began, about family.
Jones' son, Fred Harvey, 19, was shot to death sitting in a car in his Saginaw driveway, along with Marcus Buckley Jr., on July 21, 2012. Nobody has been convicted in the deaths.
Harvey attended Delta College and had just started working at Kroger.
"He didn't even get his first paycheck yet," Jones said.
"I wasn't going to bowl, didn't want to bowl," Jones said. "My heart wasn't in it. My youngest daughter said I had to. I've been bowling for 40 years. It was Freddy's second love behind basketball. I had to bowl."
So Jones bowled, averaging 220 at Stardust and 210 at LeFevre's. The Friday night league at Candlelite, however, was not about high averages.
"This would have been Freddy's third season in that league … his team would bowl against my team sometimes," Jones said. "We had four-person teams, and I was bowling with guys from Flint who averaged 240.
"But when Freddy's team bowled us, they beat us. They brought their A game. They wanted to beat us so bad. They called their team '99 Problems' and all wore matching shirts. On the front was '99 Problems.' On the back was 'You're Team Ain't One.'"
Jones says she will only bowl in the Friday night league at Candlelite next season.
"It's the one I have to stay in," Jones said. "That league is the league where I started bowling, where I learned to bowl from my dad (Fred Jones) when the league was at the Americana Lanes.
"It's where I bowled with my dad. It's where I bowled with my son. It's where bowling was all about family."
Harvey enjoyed the family competition, especially against his mom.
"He kept telling me that he was going to bowl an 800 before me," Jones said. "At LeFevre's one morning, I bowled a 268, then a 279 and another 279. I got home and told him I bowled a 268. Then I said I bowled a 279 and another 279.
"He started adding it up and figured it out. I told him he wasn't getting that 800 before I was. He was happy for me."Jones received a ring honoring the 800 series. It's a ring she no longer owns.
"I put it on his finger in the casket."

By Kevin Wilson
TEXICO — Buddy Vaughan's backyard is certainly not a cornfield in Iowa. But thanks to his frustrations and adaptations six years ago, it's become a field of dreams for Texico High School baseball.
In the late 1990s, Vaughan was a Little League coach in Clovis. The problem wasn't his players, but instead their practices. His players were mostly from Texico, so practice time meant travel time, assuming they could find a field in the first place.
"I was coaching Little League and it was always difficult to find places to practice," Vaughan said. "Whenever I lived in Clovis, I tried to take the kids somewhere where we could hit grounders. I said if I ever live out of town, I'll get land so I can make a field."
When he did move, he did just that. Vaughan and his family started work on the practice field, which he said was nothing beyond a lawn with some bases.
It was more than anybody else had, though, and Buddy's sons — Aaron and Braden — would practice when they weren't watching Atlanta Braves games.
"It was nice," said Aaron, 15, "because we got to go out and practice whenever we liked. Our dad would pitch to us now and then."
Before too long, Vaughan's backyard became a field of champions, as the American Devil Rays won three straight Tri-County tournaments from 1998-2000 under his direction. Though Vaughan doesn't coach anymore, the field still gets used every summer by youth teams.
"What's happening is you're finding parents coaching now are in that same predicament I was," Vaughn said, "trying to find a place to practice. The field's there, so it might as well get used."
If it was just a field for Little League, that would be enough for Vaughn and his family. However, it became a foundation for a budding baseball program in 2001, when Texico High School opted to begin a baseball program.
The Wolverines are in their second year of competition, and while they still don't have a home — Texico plays its home games at Brady Field — they've always had a place to practice.
"That helps us a lot," fTexico coach Richard Luscombe said, "because of the simple fact that we've got regulation size bases. We can work on a lot of the fundamental aspects that we have to work on otherwise."
The Wolverine record would seem to agree. Texico is 9-4 heading into Monday's District 7-1A/2A game with Dora, and a 4-2 district record has the team in the hunt for a playoff berth.
"My impression is that people are already talking about us and we're already a contender," Buddy Vaughan said of the team, which features Aaron at second base and Braden splitting time between pitching, catching and shortstop. "I think it's going pretty good. We've got a lot of good kids, a lot of good talent."
But still no field. It's not a question of effort from the school. Instead, it's one of acreage.
"I think there's a lot of interest in baseball and there are some plans in the works," Luscombe said. "They're tyring to get it done, but we're just landlocked (at the school). If we get into a situation where we can get some land, we could build the field pretty quickly."
Texico might need outside help to secure land, but it's a problem that Vaughan thinks will be solved in due time.
"The administration and the school board, they're working on possibilities for a field," Vaughan said. "Once that's done, I know building the field is going to be a cooperative effort with baseball parents and the school."
Until that time comes, the Wolverines will dream of a field and practice on a makeshift field of dreams. It's not quite like the one where Kevin Costner played a game of catch, but it's good enough for now.
"It's a long ways from that," Vaughan saidx. "They made theirs pretty professional-looking. Ours isn't that, but it's definitely very usable."

A total of 100 women got a food taste of the outdoors today during the annual "Women in Nature Outdoors Skills Workshop" at the Otisco Rod and Gun Club in Marietta.
The women were treated to a free, day-long seminar of 15 different outdoor activities, along with a wild game and fish lunch and raffles. They shot shotguns, rifles and muskets, along with compound bows and crossbows; they went birding, learned about campfire cooking, wilderness survival, fly fishing, how to fillet a fish, how to prepare wild game -- and so much more.
The event is sponsored by the Onondaga Federation of Sportsmen's Clubs and it's the biggest event of its kind in the state.
I stopped by to meet the women and to solicit readers for my weekly email Outdoors newsletter. I also sampled lunch -- my favorite dishes were the frog legs, the pickled pickerel and the deep-fried crappie fillets. All extremely delicious.
The Women in Nature program's mission is to:
1) Encourage women to enjoy the great outdoors through the Outdoor Skills Workshop as well as at additional shooting, hunting, and fishing seminars and recreational outings.
2) Promote membership in the local conservation organizations that are
members of the Onondaga County Federation of Sportsmen's Clubs.

European Central Bank President Mario Draghi is in Washington for talks at the International Monetary Fund and will deliver a speech there. Presumably Greece will be item 1, 2, 3 and 4 on the agenda.
European Central Bank President Mario Draghi is in Washington for talks at the International Monetary Fund and will deliver a speech there. Presumably Greece will be item 1, 2, 3 and 4 on the agenda.
Shorting Brazil is no longer the favorite sport of analysts and traders, judging by recent market trends and comments.
A Greek deal has been pulled from the fire at the last moment. The country's bailout programme will be extended for four months averting a potential cash crunch in March that could have forced the country out of the currency area.
G20 finance ministers and central bankers meeting in Istanbul will pledge to act decisively on monetary and fiscal policy if needed to combat the risk of stagnation, according to a draft communique obtained by Reuters last night. As has been customary at these summits, a lot of the discussion implicitly centres on Germany.
Alexis Tsipras is not for turning, not yet anyway.
Speaking in parliament on Sunday night the new Greek premier said he would not accept an extension to Greece's current bailout, something the euro zone is urging him to do, and stuck with austerity-ending pledges such as giving free food and electricity to those who need it, reinstating civil servants who had been fired as part of bailout conditions and raising the minimum wage. Privatisations have already been halted.
Last night, after Greece's new Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis met Mario Draghi, the European Central Bank cancelled its acceptance of Greek bonds in return for funding, shifting the burden onto Greece's central bank to finance its lenders, the latest reverse for the country's new government.
The Greek roadshow continues with Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras in Brussels to meet European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker. After that, he will head to Paris to see French President Francois Hollande.
Ukrainian separatists said they had pushed government troops out of two districts on the outskirts of their main stronghold Donetsk and their aim was to expand control to the entire eastern region.
Syriza has fallen tantalisingly short of an overall majority, winning 149 of 300 Greek parliamentary seats and taking 36.3 percent of the vote, 8.5 points ahead of the New Democracy party of Prime Minister Antonis Samaras in what amounts to a decisive rejection of austerity.
Market forecasts for Brazil's economic growth this year have been falling steadily for months, reaching a meager 0.5 percent in Reuters latest quarterly poll published on Thursday. One year ago, a similar survey predicted growth of 2.5 percent in 2015.

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- The boys basketball postseason moves to neutral sites this week after an eventful first week of sectional playoffs. Here's 10 things to keep an eye on in the district semifinals, which will be played Monday through Thursday.
1. Lakewood takes aim at St. Ignatius looking for second-straight upset
With a 65-41 victory over No. 2 North Royalton on Saturday in the Midview District sectional final, the Rangers showed they were a lot better than your typical No. 8 seed. Next up is No. 4 St. Ignatius on Thursday.
A chance to beat a traditional basketball power like St. Ignatius has the Rangers excited. Seeing their up-tempo style clash with the Wildcats' methodical pace will make this one fun to watch.
2. Division III showdown between Beachwood and Warrensville Heights
With No. 2 Beachwood ranked first in the Division III AP state poll and No. 4 Warrensville Heights ranked eighth in that same poll, Monday's Garfield Heights District semifinal will have the feel of a much later postseason game.
Both teams have exceptional backcourts, so the winner of this one will come down to who can utilize their frontcourt players best.
3. Berea-Midpark and Olmsted Falls set for rubber match
The Titans and Bulldogs split two meetings this year by a combined 11 points. It's only fitting they would meet again in the postseason. On Wednesday, No. 3 Berea-Midpark and No. 5 Olmsted Falls will both be vying for a spot in the Midview District title game.
4. Euclid tries to stay hot against Garfield Heights
After an up-and-down season, No. 12 Euclid is playing its best basketball when it matters most. It defeated Bedford in its regular season finale and upset No. 6 Cleveland Heights in the Solon District sectional final. No. 4 Garfield Heights has struggled down the stretch and could be next in line on Thursday.
5. Shaker Heights faces first big playoff test
Although Shaker Heights is the No. 1 seed in the Solon District, it has no cakewalk. Awaiting the Raiders in the district semifinal on Wednesday is No. 9 Bedford. The Bearcats have already beaten Warrensville Heights and Olmsted Falls this season.
6. Is Mentor a serious title contender?
All season long, Mentor coach Bob Krizancic has said his team's goal is to be playing its best in the postseason. With the No. 3 Cardinals on a five-game win streak as it gets set for a Euclid District semifinal on Thursday against No. 5 Glenville, Krizancic's team is right where it wants to be.
Mentor relies heavily on the scoring of Caleb Potter, Conner Krizancic and Kade McClure, and if all three play well, there's no reason they can't get to Columbus.
7. NDCL is looking like a Division II Cinderella
For Notre Dame-Cathedral Latin, it was a tale of two seasons. It started the year 0-6, but it is now on a seven-game win streak, including victories over Archbishop Hoban and Olmsted Falls. Next up is No. 1 Lake Catholic, which should be on upset alert in the Ashtabula District semifinal on Wednesday against No. 8 Notre Dame-Cathedral Latin.
8. Seniors takes center stage in Westlake vs. Brunswick
When No. 6 Westlake and No. 7 Brunswick square off in the Division I Brecksville-Broadview Heights District semifinal on Wednesday, it is certain one great high school career will end. Westlake's Gavin Skelly (a Northwestern signee) and Brunswick's Ryan Badowski (a Longwood signee) will both need a big game to guarantee at least one more game in their high school uniform.
9. Health of St. Edward junior Kipper Nichols
Junior Kipper Nichols has been on the sidelines for each of No. 1 St. Edward's past two games with a bruised hip. While the Eagles haven't needed him (they won both games by at least 43 points), he'll need to be healthy going forward. Coach Eric Flannery expects him to practice this week.
10. Can East Tech's guards be slowed down?
Few teams had as impressive a sectional final win as No. 2 East Tech's 110-52 victory over No. 19 Mayfield. Combining for 73 of those points were KT Taylor, Markell Johnson, Johnell Free and Anthony Carmon.
The Scarabs' exciting backcourt will be on display again on Wednesday against No. 10 Maple Heights in the Euclid District semifinal.

Hi Philip,
the US carbon was my real favorite in 2012 and for sure will be for light wind conditions in 2013. Used it with NP Hellcat 7,7 and a 52 DRAKE and with NP H2 9,2 with the 58 DRAKE stockfin. With both sails it is a really amazing combo, easy to use, fast also in direct comparison to other more conventional large boards like 145 sharks or big futuras. Moreover the US has a much lighter and more sporty feel compared to the latter ones.
The best sensation of course is the planing capability in very very light winds and the capability to plane through lulls. This I valued particularly when sailing with 7,7 in changing conditions. All in all the US for me was a very good choice which might be even supplemented with a 10+ sail this year to even further lowering the hurdle to plane.
Don't expect big advantages from the slight change in shape of the 2013 model, so I would go for the 2012 US in carbon if you can get one.

Revlon billionaire Ronald Perelman has his own gloss on ex-wife Ellen Barkin's allegations that he failed to fund their movie production company as promised before their 2006 divorce. He says Barkin has siphoned money from the company to fund personal expenses and to enrich her relatives, the Associated Press reports.
Perelman filed suit against Barkin and her brother George Barkin in New York state court Wednesday, saying they stole money from Applehead I, the movie production company that Perelman and Barkin founded while they were married, and funneled it into Applehead II, which the Barkins started on their own after the divorce.
He claims the money was used to pay George Barkin a salary of $250,000 a year, and to finance Ellen Barkin's own lawsuit against Perelman. She filed suit in August, claiming Perelman failed to fund Applehead I with $3.4 million as he had agreed to.
"We were initially disappointed at Ms. Barkin's attempts to further enrich herself after the divorce," Perelman spokeswoman Chris Taylor said. "We are further disappointed to learn of her additional actions to further enrich herself, her family and friends."

Gotta love some Gotye. His song "Somebody That I Used To Know" is the #1 song on the US Charts right now!
Anytime you get a hot song like that, it's BOUND to be parodied. I mean, c'mon, Weird Al Yankovic has made a living and a half off of that.
Chillin' on YouTube today, I found an AWESOME parody of Gotye. It's called "Kobye – The Kobe That I Used To Know".
Yes, THAT Kobe, as in Kobe Bryant of the Los Angeles Lakers.
Check it out!
Oh, and as a bonus video, here is some awesome WEIRD AL!

Wow, it has been far too long since the last posting. This semester has been insane. My latest 'excuse' is Liberty Tree Week@Berry, a week of events we've planned for Berry here in Communication. It's swallowed every discretionary moment, and much more. But it will be so worth it.
To our purpose: An ethical dilemma for my class of cross-platform content editors and producers. First, the scenario:
To hyperlink or not to hyperlink, that is the question
You are deciding for the AJC (& Web site), WSB TV (& Web site) or CNN (& Web site). Your audience: AJC – the Southeast; WSB TV – Georgia; CNN – the nation.
What: A new prime minister of Iraq has just been named, a Shiite who had been an outspoken critic of Saddam Hussein and had lived in exile before the American invasion of 2003.
Shortly after taking office in April 2009, he is kidnapped, along with five American journalists, by a rival Sunni faction. Several hours later, the kidnappers say they have hanged the prime minister to protest the execution of Hussein. The kidnappers don't bother with cell phone video; they provide professional-looking video that shows the prime minister dropping through the platform. The video shows his head snapping off and his body, and head, falling to the floor.
The kidnappers have posted the video on their Web site, and American officials have independently confirmed that it shows what it says it does: the decapitation of the Iraqi official. But American officials are asking American news organizations not to link to the video because, they claim, doing so will help the kidnappers achieve their ends.
No American news site has linked to the site yet, but we, the editors at the AJC, are eager to do so. We in the newsroom meet to discuss our coverage. Our key questions: Will we include a link to the hanging video and, therefore, the kidnappers' Web site, or not? Controversy is sure to follow whatever decision we make, so the second question: How will we explain our decision?
Remember: We are to maximize the truth, minimize harm and serve the public interest. These are our journalistic imperatives. And we are to conceive of ethical decision-making as a process. It's not about whether you are a good, moral person or not.
So, for Monday, post a few sentences identifying your decision and justifying and explaining it. Nothing too lengthy.
To help you:
- Poynter's ethical decision-making tool/step-by-step
- Poynter's guidelines on linking policy
- Kristof on ethical dilemmas (Word .doc)

Two-way traffic resumes on Manette Bridge Two-way traffic resumes on Manette Bridge
Drivers who cross the Manette Bridge starting today will notice the absence of something present since November 2011. But they won't miss it.
Blaze orange vests and cones will no longer be on site, as the Washington State Department of Transportation reopens the bridge to two-way traffic today. The Manette Bridge opened to traffic Nov. 10 and replaced the 1930 structure that closed in July 2011.
A final "punch-list" of items and installation work required flagger-directed and alternating traffic during the weekdays. Crews are scheduled to return to paint sections on the bridge in the spring, or as weather allows.

If Tom Izzo ever wanted to make the jump to coaching in the NBA -- and Michigan State athletic director Mark Hollis on Monday confirmed the coach has held discussions with the Cleveland Cavaliers -- then this would be the perfect time for a comfortable landing.
As long as it comes packaged with superstar and soon-to-be free agent LeBron James, NBA first-time jobs don't come any better.
Hollis, in a statement released through MSU's sports information office, said the Cavaliers have expressed interest in hiring Izzo for their head coaching vacancy.
"Tom has held discussions with the club; however, there's no contract offer on the table," Hollis said in the statement. "I have been in regular contact with Tom over the past week.
"In my opinion, Tom is the best coach in college basketball, so it's no surprise that NBA teams have expressed an interest in him. In fact, I encourage him to look at these opportunities, but it's my hope that Tom remains at Michigan State.
"Over the last 15 years, Tom has developed and maintained a healthy basketball program here, and we don't want him to leave."
Izzo has flirted with the NBA idea before, but this one has a different feel and promises much consternation ahead. This one has James, who becomes a free agent July 1, in the mix.
First-time-around coaches in the NBA usually are picked to rebuild and in that vein often destined to be fired.
Chuck Daly, a legend in our very own state as a two-time NBA champion with the Detroit Pistons, was fired from his first NBA job -- in Cleveland, of course.
The jump carries risks but has huge financial rewards and other things Izzo might like.
Izzo is a gym rat who would love that you get to coach all day with no worries about recruiting 17-year-olds.His buddies Steve Mariucci and Nick Saban have tried the pro thing (in the NFL), and they didn't have near what a roster headed by James offers. Izzo surely would love to win a pro title and one-up them.
Also, who is to say Izzo couldn't come back to college in a few years if things didn't pan out? Saban is looking pretty good at Alabama.
College basketball fans who hate pro basketball will cringe, but Izzo doesn't hate the NBA. He is intrigued by it. It's basketball, albeit with a collection of the best players, biggest paychecks and biggest egos one can imagine.
Izzo has a pretty good ego, too. He strikes me as a lot like Larry Brown, whose many coaching stops have included the Pistons. Izzo can coach like crazy, get anybody to play defense, shape a point guard into a leader and win. Only more people end up liking Izzo along the way.
Those who think his brow-beating ways of dealing with the college kids on his MSU teams won't translate probably are correct. But don't they think enough of him to realize he knows that, too? Don't you think he would adjust to dealing with men instead of boys?
Greg Johnson joined Bill Simonson on "The Huge Show" on Monday to talk about the possibility of Tom Izzo leaving Michigan State:
Listen to the interview:
Sure, folks on the Michigan State side of things think the timing is horrible for Izzo to leave the green and white. He might have his best roster since the national title team of 2000. Last month in published reports, he even indicated he wanted to win another national title before he would entertain the NBA. Spartans can hope that was from the heart.
But that was when he was thinking or just assuming the only thing out there was the usual annual NBA opportunities.
Coaching James in Cleveland is a new game. Working for Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert, a Michigan State graduate, might add some appeal.
Izzo has to be looking at it and thinking of the possibilities: winning an NBA title to go with an NCAA title, proving that a great coach is a great coach no matter the setting and a huge contract that sets him and his family up as wealthy for life.

Look for this to take a while to play out. Cleveland fired a coach and general manager Danny Ferry has resigned.
But clearly, if the NBA is truly something Izzo wants to attempt, hitching up with James is the way to go.

Multi-Zoom Analysis: Nicole Kidman Gave Up on Her Hair at Cannes
It's kind of a mess.
The Cannes film festival is upon us: two weeks of celebrities bringing their best Euro-glam looks to the red carpet! Yesterday at the jury presentation, Nicole Kidman — along with fellow jurors Steven Spielberg, Ang Lee, and others — showed up in a sophisticated black dress, Bordeaux-hued heels, and messy, schoolgirl hair.
Remember when you were in grade school, and went off to school with a meticulously ponytailed do? Then sometime after chasing the boys at recess and a rambunctious game of Tetherball, your hair became a hot mess? While your hair had come undone, the ribbon still hung on. This is essentially what happened to Kidman. Let's take a closer look.
It's difficult to tell if the ribbon is even tied in a proper bow. It looks like a half-bow. The hairs are also unsure of what role they should be playing. While the bits in front framing her face are beautifully coiffed and styled, the side-section is like an unraveling knot. The painstaking deliberation her hairstyle must've gone through is stressful to imagine (Are too many pieces hanging loose? Should we tuck this strand back in?).
Ah yes, the back. While it's still hard to decipher if her hair is a mess of loose twists or braids, this photo reveals that Kidman is the proud owner of a perfectly round dome.

Youth learn the importance of livestock preparation
Livestock and 4-H agents from the Piedmont area coordinated a training session for 4-H'ers who exhibit beef cattle, sheep and meat goats. This training is held annually in Sanford, with the help of local cattlemen associations, the Sanford Lions Club and N.C. State University faculty members.
Youth exhibitors received hands-on training on how to prepare their animals before they go into the ring. A hoof-trimming demonstration was given to stress how to get animals to stand properly on all four feet and display the animals' highlights for the judge.
N.C. State University livestock technician Brent Jennings taught the importance of shearing sheep. He discussed how and when to shear sheep, as well as how to train animals to stand during the show.
Jennings also conducted a practice show so exhibitors would know how to lead and set up their animals for the judge. This will help 4-H'ers perform and excel wherever they go, whether it be a local county fair or the grand finale of the N.C. State Fair.
Extension agents involved in the event were from Lee, Chatham and Moore counties. They included livestock agents Tyrone Fisher, Sam Groce and Randy Wood and 4-H agents Bill Stone and Sarah Hardison.

Syracuse, N.Y. - After Jan. 15, possessing a magazine that can hold more than 10 rounds is a misdemeanor crime in New York.
That part of the NY Safe Act is just one of a variety of new laws set to go into effect early in 2014. Others include expanded casino gaming and a plan to create tax-free zones around college campuses - all key initiatives from Gov. Andrew Cuomo.
The following list of new laws was compiled from information provided by the New York State Senate and Assembly offices:
New provisions of the Animal Lemon Law will take effect Jan. 27. The changes include requiring sellers to include the name and address of the broker as well as the breeder. And, buyers now have six months, rather than 14 days, to report a congenital malformation diagnosis after purchasing a cat or dog.
Next year, businesses and farms with one or more workers and less than $250,000 in annual income will get 3 percent of their income exempt from taxes. Also, manufacturers will see a tax cut of almost 10 percent.
Cuomo's Start-Up NY program will open for business Jan. 1. The initiative creates tax-free zones around college and university campuses throughout the state. The program includes exemptions for corporate, personal and sales taxes for as long as a decade.
New cideries - think wineries, but with apples - can apply for state licenses starting Jan. 15.
This year, businesses will be able to claim a tax credit for developing and installing alternative energy systems. The state estimates the cost at $15 million.
The state's expanded casino industry - which voters approved in November - goes on the books Jan. 1. Already, developers are swarming to compete for four casinos to be built in the Southern Tier, Catskills and Capital regions of the state.
Starting Jan. 1, judges will have the ability to retain alternate jurors when a case goes to the jury for deliberations. Under current law, those alternates are released when the jury goes into deliberations, a problem if a member cannot finish his or her jury duty before a verdict is rendered.
After Jan. 15, people who have a magazine that can hold more than 10 rounds can be charged with a misdemeanor. The change is part of the controversial NY Safe Act that Cuomo and the Legislature passed in early 2013, a month after the deadly shootings at Sandy Hook Elementary Hook in Newtown, Conn. The next date to remember is April 15 - the deadline to register previously owned assault weapons, as defined by the new law.
Hannah's Law will provide adequate insurance coverage for patients living with conditions such as Eosinophilic esophagitis, a life-threatening illness that makes it impossible to eat most foods. Prior to this, some insurance companies only covered the cost of administering nourishment via feeding tubes even if oral feeding was an option for the patient. This bill requires coverage for administering food through feeding tubes or oral feeding.
Beginning Jan. 1, people born between 1945 and 1965 will be offered a Hepatitis C screening when receiving health services from hospital inpatient care or outpatient care. The reason? An estimated 3.2 million Americans are infected with Hepatitis C, and 75 percent were born between those two decades.
Starting Jan. 19, hospitals must clearly tell patients whether they have been admitted or are under observation, even if they've been put in a bed or secluded area. The notification is important for patients, who may end up with charges not covered by Medicare incurred while they are under observation as opposed to being fully admitted.
All newborns, as of Jan. 27, will be screened for critical congenital heart defects. The screening - called pulse oximetry - involves taping a small sensor to the newborn's foot to measure how much oxygen is in the blood.

She's shown in cities across the country, including Seattle, Austin, San Francisco, Cincinnati, Nashville, and Asbury Park, New Jersey. The images have a folk art feel, but are very much rooted in modern life as subject matter goes. For this week's CMYLK column, we created Colourlovers palettes for three of her storied themes.

WATCH: Top 6 Bond Theme Songs
While Adele's latest Bond theme song has created quite a stir, we take a stroll down memory lane and listen to other hot Bond theme numbers!
You Only Live Twice
As old as 45 years, this lovely track (from 1967 Bond movie), sung by Nancy Sinatra, oozes out the hippy-happy aura of that era. This line instantly sends us into nostalgia – You only live twice, or so it seems, one life for yourself and one for your dreams.
We Have All The Time In The World
This delectable theme number for 1969 James Bond movie, sung by Louis Armstrong, is an absolute treat for the ears. Interestingly, its title is taken from the last words of 007 to his assassinated wife.
Live And Let Die
Paul McCartney & Wings' Live And Let Die had the honor of becoming the first Bond theme to be nominated for an Oscar award, in 1973. Enjoy the track here…

Susan Jameson says these are times when people need to reconnect with one another, with the Spirit and with Mother Earth.
"We are all connected, and some have forgotten that," said the co-producer with Fidel Moreno of the ninth annual Rock, Rattle and Drum Powwow that will take place Saturday and Sunday, Aug. 9 and 10, at Bowe Field on the Adams Agricultural Fairgrounds. "This powwow celebrates that connection."
"When you walk on the grounds of the powwow, it's like walking in heaven," she said. "There is a really good feeling of connection, of Spirit and of remembrance."
The theme of the event, which will take place rain or shine, is "Living in Harmony, Fulfilling Our Destiny."
The weekend will feature American Indian music, dance, education, entertainment, cultural festivities and arts and crafts vendors with, for example, native beadwork, quillwork and silver.
Scheduled performers include and Danza Azteca Aztec dancers and Nammy Award winner Arvel Bird.
"He's amazing," Jameson said of Bird, a violinist, flute player and storyteller.
There will opportunities for non-natives to enter the dance arena to share an intertribal dance including a candy dance for the children. American Indian storytellers will share old native stories, and traditional native foods like Indian fry bread, Indian corn soup and buffalo will be available for purchase.
"It's rare to find such a multi-cultural event," Jameson said, noting that the event celebrates intertribal culture. "It's colorful, fun and the music doesn't stop!"
Aaron S. Athey, emcee for the event, said it is important to keep Native American traditions and culture alive. "We want to share our culture with the public and celebrate our culture and ancestors."
He expects a couple thousand visitors to the powwow this year.
The event will take place on Saturday, Aug. 9, from 10 a.m.-8 p.m. with the Grand Entry at 1 p.m. and on Sunday, Aug. 10, from 10 a.m.-6 p.m. with the Grand Entry at 1 p.m.
The Grand Entry includes dignitaries and tribe members in regalia entering the "sacred circle" at the fairgrounds.
There will be a special veteran's honor and presentation during the Grand Entries.
"We're trying to bring people together to recognize and honor them," Jameson said. "It's a celebration. It's fun!"
Tickets for the powwow are available at the gate. Powwow one-day admission is $8 for adults, $5 for seniors 65 and older and youth 11-17 and free for children 10 and under.
Tickets are available in advance by going to HealingWinds.net or calling (413) 443-2481 for a list of ticket outlets.

About This BookStunning photographs and evocative text take readers to far-off Madagascar. There, primatologist Alison Jolly dwells and works among lemurs. These fascinating primates live only on the island of Madagascar, where they socialize in troops--and where, like humans, they are often involved in power struggles and family disputes. Threats to the environment have endangered lemurs, but Dr. Jolly hopes that by studying these unusual animals she'll discover ways for people to live in harmony with their distant primate cousins.

I'm trying to figure out the steps involved in the birth and death of a plane. I would like to see what steps and milestones (and their timeline) are involved in an aircraft/design concepts life. i.e. from a design being born in a designers mind to the first draft, design freeze, rollout, power on , first flight, delivery, A/ B/ C/ D checks to when it finally hits the boneyard and is cut up. What are the steps or milestones that an aircraft takes from its birth to its death? Basically I'm trying to build the timeline and life of an aircraft from design to death.
Also I would really like to see how the life of a commercial airliner varies from say a GA and how they differ from a UAV or a rotorcraft?
It would be really nice if some of more experienced ones here who probably worked at Boeing or Lockheed or any of the other major air framers could give some insight on this.
Thnx in advance for your replies.
P.S. Every aerospace book/ paper/article I look in does not go beyond preliminary and detailed design so… that's where my question comes from.

Kit Tea
I wondered why my Earl Grey tea tasted funny this morning.
Oh, dear. I've wee'd in the tea.
-Um, Mary, there's something floating in my tea.
--Nothing to worry about, dear. That's just the roofie I slipped in it. It'll dissolve in no time.
Tea, sugar.
And cream if you don't mind.

DETROIT - A Michigan congressman says a group of Chrysler debtholders has made a counteroffer to the government as negotiations continue to slash the struggling automaker's debt without bankruptcy protection.
Rep. Gary Peters would not reveal the terms of the counteroffer but says he's frustrated with debtholders who are holding out for more money.
Three people briefed on the negotiations say Italian automaker Fiat will sign a partnership agreement with Chrysler by Thursday. That's the last piece of Chrysler's plan to meet the government's Thursday restructuring deadline.
But it is still unclear whether Chrysler will have to file for bankruptcy protection. The people say that hinges on whether the group of hedge funds agree to forgive most of what they're owed.
The people did not want to be identified because the deal has not been made public.

Little Lamplight and the swampfolkEdit
No, Little Lamplight is a children-only society - a trope that has been used many many times. See, for instance, The Lord of the Flies. It's a generic and common sci-fi device, not a reference to any one instance in particular. And the swampfolk are likewise generic hillbilly, inbred, dumb brute, scary backwoods people - another common trope, not specific or originated with Hills Have Eyes or Wrong Turn, both of which are recent retreads of familiar fictional territory.--Gothemasticator 05:50, February 6, 2011 (UTC)
- Yeah, I don't blame you for seeing the resemblance. But, some good advice for a 14 year-old: read The Lord of the Flies. Great book about a group of schoolboys stranded on an island with no adults. It'll blow your mind. Cheers.--Gothemasticator 23:12, February 6, 2011 (UTC)

Very early this morning, after midnight, I checked the website of 1boringoldman….not expecting his Sunday Post yet at that early hour. But it had been a very active day, interacting with bloggers via Twitter over the all too common concerns about the reliability of various studies, specifically in the field of Psychopharmacology. The LA Times has printed an article regarding antidepressants and the potential risk of suicidal thinking/actions in adolescents..with numerous concerns about the researchers and the reporter. Same general themes regarding credibility, conflicts of interest, etc. Much of the recent discussions have intensified with the Blog of http://www.DavidHealy.org and the release of his Pharmageddon new book. I was growing tired, but still motivated. One quick switch to 1boringoldman's Sunday post and it was all right there. See here:
The definitive work regarding Janssen, Risperdal, TMAP, and so much more!
With years of concern, months of expecting the Landmark Trial in Austin, Texas of Janssen (JNJ) versus the State of Texas, and weeks of daily updates from professionals at the Court House blogging, it seemed like it was finally over, once Janssen settled for about 150 million dollars. Then the questions of why did they cave, why did they settle for a relatively small sum, instead of going to trial over possible over a billion dollars in the State of Texas alone? Questions continued to fill the twitterverse and then-very early this morning – Dr Poses's post seemed to bring some closure for me personally. Not that the "overweight" opera star has sung…but at least some temporary time out.
So after reading the reports, I was thinking of Chicago the Musical..having seen in on Broadway and, of course, the Movie. But this was not entertainment the way Broadway can be. This was (and is) about young children being harmed by well intended, but misinformed clinicians, Social Workers, Foster Care Provider, and Parents….and so much more .
Opening Fishing in Minnesota is usually about Mid May of each year….using in conflict with the Annual American Psychiatric Association meeting – This year in Philly.
I plan to be fishing, in spite if the weather in true Minnesota Tradition. Thanks to the many bloggers that have made this big step a reality.

The only time we hear about a board of directors is when its members are up to no good. Proxy battles, compensation scandals, and takeover proposals bring these stewards of corporate governance into the spotlight, but when they're simply doing their jobs, nobody pays any attention. So this Fool is here to highlight a few boards of directors, whether good or bad, to give you a more detailed picture of their companies. No need for scandals.
Today, we're looking at the board of chip maker Advanced Micro Devices (NYSE: AMD ) . Meet the gang whose task is beating mighty Intel (Nasdaq: INTC ) at its own semiconductor game.
Meet the board
The company bylaws allow for three to 11 directors at any given time. Out of seven board members, AMD enlists six independent directors according to standards set by the New York Stock Exchange and the Securities and Exchange Commission, which is plenty to satisfy the 51% majority of external directors the exchange requires. The seventh is CEO and Chairman Hector de Ruiz.
Let's get some color on the most prominent names. Ruiz took the wheel from co-founder Jerry Sanders when Sanders retired in 2004 after nearly 40 years of service. Ruiz spent 14 years as president of Motorola's (NYSE: MOT ) semiconductor segment, now known as Freescale. He is on the Eastman Kodak (NYSE: EK ) board and is chairman of former AMD subsidiary Spansion (Nasdaq: SPSN ) .
Robert Palmer is the lead independent director, and the chairman of the nominating and corporate governance committee. That gives him considerable say over the board's direction. That committee is also responsible for keeping AMD out of hot water with the SEC, and is doing a good enough job to land in the top three of an 1,100-company corporate governance review two years running. Palmer was the CEO of Digital Equipment (DEC) until it was acquired by Compaq -- now Hewlett-Packard (NYSE: HPQ ) .
Bruce Claflin retired as president and CEO of 3Com (Nasdaq: COMS ) last year, and also spent 22 years at IBM in various positions, including president of the American PC segment. In between, Claflin was a high-ranking marketing executive at DEC. Yes, there are a lot of former DEC executives here -- President and Chief Operating Officer Dirk Meyer was the lead developer of the DEC Alpha processor, from which the original Athlon processor gained its system bus architecture.
Claflin is the chairman of the compensation committee -- that's the people setting salaries, bonuses, and other perks for board members and executives alike. Well, subject to a vote by the full board, but the recommendations carry plenty of weight.
The only woman on the board, and also its youngest member at 53 years of age, is Paulett Eberhart, the CEO and president of industrial automation firm Invensys Process Systems. She leads the audit committee, which double-checks the financial reports and internal records for accuracy. Not surprisingly, that's the busiest committee, holding more meetings than any of the others.
Perks and power
Unlike some other businesses, AMD does not require its board members to own any company stock. However, each director owns at least 10,000 shares of common stock, and all but recent addition John Caldwell have tens of thousands of unexercised stock options. Caldwell, who joined the board as part of the ATI merger last fall, likely won't ever be granted any options, because future share-based compensation will be in the form of restricted shares only.
Each independent director was paid a base salary of $65,000 for his or her service in 2006. On top of that, the committee leaders got $10,000 extra, or $20,000 for Eberhart, as chairman of the audit committee, and Palmer, the lead independent director.
To qualify for these salaries, the board members must attend 75% of their scheduled meetings. That's not as hard as it sounds, even if the board is spread across the nation: Not only do the bylaws allow meetings to happen anywhere the board chooses, but Delaware corporate law (that's where AMD is incorporated) allows boards to meet by teleconference.
While the board is supposed to steer AMD's general business, and many of its members surely do have enough insight into the company to make meaningful contributions, perhaps its heaviest hammer is the power to hire or fire any of the top executives with a simple majority vote. That's why takeovers often target board seats -- with enough boardroom votes, you can remake the company in your image.
Final Foolish thoughts
I think AMD comes across as something of a spiritual successor to good old DEC when you look at the composition of its board, especially when you cast a quick glance at the executive roster, too. It's a diverse board with representation from various industries but a heavy technology weighting, one woman director, and a chairman born in Mexico.
Many of the directors are nearing retirement age, though -- their ages range from 53 to 70 today, with most around 60 years old. Experience can be a great asset, but it looks like there's some serious turnover coming in the next few years.
For now, a cool-headed boardroom sounds good, the better to guide AMD through some turbulent times and plenty of challenges in the processor market. I'd love to be a Fool on the wall in some of those meetings.
For more Foolishness:

- AMD's Good News Might Not Be So Good
- You've Got to Hear This!
- Stocks With Scruples
Intel is a Motley Fool Inside Value recommendation. What is Wall Street overlooking now? A free trial gives you all the picks and how they're doing.

Coalition Calls on Governors to Free State Employees to Assist on Election Day
Unprecedented Turnout Requires Unprecedented Response
As unease increases about possible chaos at the polls next Tuesday, a coalition of labor, environmental, civil rights and consumer organizations has called on the fifty state governors to free non-essential personnel to provide much-needed assistance. In a letter sent by Change to Win, Sierra Club, Public Citizen, People for the American Way, National Partnership for Women and Families, Leadership Conference on Civil Rights and others, the coalition urges that public employees be released for training on Monday and then to aid poll workers on Election Day.
"Every voter being able to cast a vote and having that vote count is the foundation of democracy....Voting is a fundamental right..." the letter says. While since the 2000 Florida debacle, election officials across the country have tried to plan for increased turnout, there are already serious indications in the early voting that they may not be up to the task.
"Lines in Ohio seem to reach Indiana" said Change to Win head Anna Berger. "Citizens are being forced to wait several hours just to exercise what is their most basic right as Americans."
"It would be especially scandalous if just as tens of millions of Americans reengaged with our democracy, the system shut them out," said Sierra Club Executive Director Carl Pope. "It has now fallen upon the nation's governors to insure that this does not occur on their watch."
According to the letter, releasing public employees could double the number of check-in tables and cut waiting time at least in half. Government employees deal with the public every day and are better suited than most to act as precinct workers, under the supervision of precinct captains and others. While government office may be understaffed for a day or two, "there is nothing more important than the right to vote" says the letter.
"It is what separates the United States from so many authoritarian governments throughout the world" said Norman Lear of people for the American Way "If we can hold orderly elections in Iraq., we can certainly hold them here at home."

JACKSON — This was not what anyone expected.
Not the students. Not the parents in the stands.
Certainly not the East Jackson Trojans and, probably, in an honest moment, not the Jackson Northwest Mounties.
Coming in a heavy underdog, Northwest not only stuck around with East Jackson, the Mounties played the Trojans tough for four quarters. Though the Trojans left the gym with a 53-46 victory, Northwest had just as much to feel good about as East Jackson had.
"There's a couple guys definitely upset, but I made sure they understood they worked their tails off," Northwest coach Justin Brown said. "'You didn't win but there's nothing to hang your head about tonight.'"
Things could have gotten ugly in a hurry, and it looked as though they would.
East Jackson jumped out to a 14-1 lead late in the first quarter.
Even as it faced a large, early deficit, Northwest hadn't played poorly. The Mounties had just one turnover in the first quarter. They weren't overmatched by the Trojans or overwhelmed by the moment. East Jackson had played good defense, and the Mounties' shots just weren't falling.
Instead of backing away, content to let the night pass as quickly and as mercifully as possibly, the Mounties regrouped.
First came a jumper. Then a 3-pointer to close the first quarter on a positive note. A couple minutes into the second quarter, junior Austin Snyder drove the lane and scored on a nice finger roll. Soon after, Snyder connected on a 3-pointer to tie the game and send the Northwest gymnasium into a frenzy.
Shaquille and Malik Greene, the only Mounties with any varsity experience at all, led Northwest on a comeback as improbable as it was impressive.
By halftime, not only had Northwest taken a nine-point lead, 26-17, it held East Jackson without a field goal in the second quarter.
As the players went to the locker rooms, they did so to the raucous ovation of a Northwest student section that had been brought to life. On the opposite end of the gym, the East Jackson student section sat in stunned disbelief.
"They really impressed me," Brown said of his team. "There were certain things (entering the game) that worried me, and I think you saw those when it was 14-1.
"But I knew they were also capable of kicking out of it and having the turnaround that we did. Now we have to be able to stay even-keeled and not have those peaks and valleys."
And those peaks and valleys continued into the second half. East Jackson recovered at halftime and took the lead in the third quarter.
The Mounties once again stuck around when some teams would have called it a night, climbing back to within two in the fourth quarter.
But while the Mounties came up just short on the scoreboard Tuesday night, they more than filled their quota for impressive play.
A lineup with more fresh faces than a maternity ward, Northwest more than held its own. The Mounties were poised. They played within themselves. They were good.
Yes, there were moments when their inexperience showed. Playing with a lead in the third quarter, at times, they looked out of sync and unsure of themselves. East Jackson found a few wide open players under the basket.
Yes, there will be games when the high-spirited comeback never comes and the Mounties find themselves on the wrong end of a thumping — it happens to all young teams learning as they go.
But one thing the Mounties should have no trouble with is their psyche. After Tuesday night, confidence should not be an issue Northwest's players grapple with as they continue to learn the ropes of varsity basketball.
After all, the Mounties showed they're a quick study.

|Re: [TowerTalk] New tower info request
|"K8RI on TowerTalk" <email@example.com>
|Mon, 1 Jan 2007 04:31:34 -0500
Although just a nit and too large a guy wire would put undue stress/pull on the legs, the highest stress point is probably going to be the base. although the lower guys are more of a straight out pull. I'd taken some of the old American Steel (two bolt) towers down that had 1/4 steel guys properly tensioned. The bottom three sections took a jack to get them apart. The sections had actually "belled" out between the bolts or at least above the bottom of the open section. This effectively swaged the sections together. Over the years I took down three 90 foot tall American Steel towers like that with 1/4" steel guys. All three required the use of a jack to get them apart. As the cross section of the tower leg was no longer straight this should have substantially reduced the strength in the vertical plane. As memory serves all three legs in each case were pretty much equal, but that means with one person with enough equipment to hit 200# total was probably seriously overloading the tower. Every thing was done well, except the strength of the tower had not been taken into consideration or the consequences of using over size guy wire. Guyed at three points that were close to equally spaced and the top set within a foot of the top, each section weighs 30# for a total of 270# a bit of trig will show those guys were putting substantial downward force on those towers. Use the cosine of the angle to horizontal at the tower.If the top guys are at 45 then cos(45)* 670# tension = 352# downward force for each line or 1055# downward force *just* for the top set of guys. Add to that the tension and weight of the guys for all three levels plus the weight of the tower and it has to be close to 2000#. How many of us would intentionally put up a 90 foot tall TV tower and then put a one ton weight on top of it? How many of us would then add another 200# consisting of ourselves and equipment to the tower by climbing it? That was a long time ago and I'm not taking any more American Steel towers down.

About Us
After finishing a correspondence course sign lettering, Alcide Mandeville founded our company in 1917 in his backyard garage on Summer Street in Central Falls Rhode Island. He began by hand lettering paper signs and windows, the outdoor business signs and commercial sign standards of the day.
His three sons Bertrand, Roland and Raymond joined him over time and expanded the company sign fabrication capabilities. In the late 1940's and early 1950's exposed neon signs were becoming popular, and Roland, having returned from World War II went off to New York for training. Once back in Rhode Island, Roland helped the company expand their outdoor business signs offerings to include ornamental shaped fabricated aluminum signs with exposed neon, a popular sign type for many decades.
The sixties and seventies brought opportunities to expand their commercial sign work to the national level. The company manufactured and installed both the Dunkin Donuts signs and the iconic shingled roof systems, with a fleet of trucks dispatched as far away as North Dakota. That success was followed by a national sign program for Cumberland Farms and the Melville Corporation, the once parent company of CVS Corporation. Roland took over as company President in the mid seventies after his brother Raymond died suddenly.
Roland's tenure as President pushed the company to new heights, both in serving a wide variety of commercial sign customers, and the unique sign types and outdoor business signs manufactured. He was a stickler for precision and was able, at a glance, to detect a slight flaw. That focus served to further establish Mandeville Sign as the source for top quality precision commercial signs.
Our current management team consists of Roland's children - Jeanne, Tom and Jim Mandeville. Tom and Jim started in their teens sweeping floors and painting. They learned each step of the outdoor business signs manufacturing process in a hands on environment supervised by some of the best talent in the industry. After college graduation, they both joined Roland and assumed project management responsibilities for national sign programs. Jeanne took another route in to the family business. After graduate school, as she earned her CPA in New York working as a management consultant for then Price Waterhouse. Timing was perfect for Jeanne to join the family team as she brought accounting and systems experience just as business and project complexity were demanding greater efficiencies.
Today our management team of Tom, Jim and Jeanne Mandeville is enhanced by a select group of project managers, engineers and sign designers that have broad capabilities and depth of industry knowledge.

Port of South Whidbey meets tonight
Funding status for the Langley marina, a new compliance report on Whidbey Airpark and applications for sponsorship money are on tonight's agenda for the Port of South Whidbey.
With the closing of title and escrow documents at the Langley marina, the port will turn to looking at funding sources in order to place the breakwater and build a connecting pier.
A report requesting an update on the status of the airfield will be evaluated as to whether it fits the port's long-term comprehensive plan.
Finally, eight South Whidbey organizations will make their pitches for money to subsidize a trade fair, create off-island advertising, design a beautification project, buy a refrigerator and sponsor portable toilets at Freeland Park, among other requests.
Time permitting, there will also be a solar energy proposal from Port Commissioner Geoff Tapert.
The meeting is at 7:30 p.m. at the Freeland Library.
