I have S&W 19 and 686 in 357. I much prefer the 686.
Hello to all of ya ... i just got mi handgun license but i dont have any of them for now and that's why i'm here ....i'm looking to buy a .44magnum but aint made a choice for the company or model that i should go with .....and it goes the same way for the 357 mag.....please , help me out to make a good and wise choice ..thanks for all your answers .. it's really appreciated ....ho , and HAPPY NEW YEAR to all ....
I have S&W 19 and 686 in 357. I much prefer the 686.
S&W makes several models of .44 mag. and .357 mag. Both in blue steel and stainless steel.
Your post is pretty vague as to what you want it for, barrel length, and of course, how deep your pockets are.
I prefer SS when it comes to revolvers. I have many S&W's in many calibers and bbl. lengths. Currently, I have model 629's in both a 3" and 6" bbl. I have also have model 66's in 2.5", 4" and 6".
When it comes to revolvers, I prefer S&W. You get a lot of gun for what you pay for them. You can pay more and buy a Colt, and you can pay less, and buy a Ruger, Taurus, or various other brands.
Anyways, you might want to tell us a little more specifics of what you're looking for.
Have you ever shot a pistol before?
Have you ever shot a .44 Magnum before? Or a .357 Magnum?
What do you intend to use the pistol for?
To give you the advice you need, we need more information from you.
Your post implies you aren't a handgun shooter and assuming you don't reload.Both of those are the worst choices to start with.That is unless you want to learn on 38s in the 357,then that could be used for SD or hunting lighter game.We really need more info.
I'm with Steve also, but based on what you did give us look into the S&W revolvers.
ok , as asked , no i dont have a lot of exp for gun shooting , and i dont reload either ...i went to shooting range couple times and i want to start target shooting ...i tried the .44 and .357 in both S&W and RUGER...to be honest , i like the weight and the grip of the RUGER on both model and regarding the S&W i felt in love with the smoothness of the trigger(the grip is a bit too small but i heard that it can be change) ..i also tried some 9mm and a 45 but , for those , it's gonna be a bit later when i'll be ready to buy .... i wanna start with the .44 or .357 cause , i realize that i'm more precise with those 2 then with the 9mm ..
Thanks for your time
If your not going to hunt then the 44 is overkill for just range time. The 357 is a nice gun for both target shooting and personnel protection. Use 38 loads for pleasurable target shooting and learning to shoot well then switch to 357 for home protection.
With all the respect I can muster, I am driven to observe that someone who "dont have a lot of exp for gun shooting," who has sent a couple of .44 and .357 shots downrange, probably indoors and at a very close target, and who then thinks "that i'm more precise with those 2 then with the 9mm," has no business shooting a .44 Magnum pistol, or even a .357 Magnum, at anything.
My strong advice to mndoz is to first invest in some professional pistol-shooting training, long before buying any handgun. Then, after actually learning how to shoot accurately and well, and after actually getting some experience with handguns, only then should mndoz go shopping for a pistol.
There are quite a few beginners who want "the baddest gun out there," and therefore buy a .44 Magnum. The result of those purchases is that quite a few slightly-used .44 Magnum pistols are soon offered for sale, each with a 50-round box of cartridges that is missing only one or two rounds.
I'll bite...
My favorite magnum guns-
S&W M29 (hard to find)
Colt Python
Colt Anaconda
Ruger Redhawk Alaskan
Wylie Magnum (jk lol)
Those are my favorites! Good luck picking one out, I envy your first pistol to be a magnum bc I still don't have a magnum however I do not envy the cost of bullets and recoil your pistol will cost you!
OK,since you like the Smith's trigger so much,it's easier and cheaper to regrip it than do a trigger job on the Ruger.I would go with the 357 model 686,damn nice gun.Shooting 38s will keep the cost down,much more so than finding 44 Specials and the higher price.
While you are starting backwards,if you concentrate on the basics you can learn without a flinch but it isn't easy.I shot guns since I was a kid but my first handgun was a Ruger Super Blackhawk 44mag. for hunting and a little after that a 45acp.The 45 showed I had a slight flinch and I cured it.Point is the 38s are wimpy so you have a better chnce with it.9s and 45s are also wimpy,so I'm thinking your problem is the auto's design and trigger reach/pull if they were DA designs,and could have to do with the slide's recoiling mass and the difference in the way a revolver and auto recoil.I prefer a revolver for high pressure/heavy hitting rounds,I think they are a little more controllable in recoil.I shot a friend's wildcat 45 Long Colt in a rebuilt Ruger single action,this thing would burry the front sight in your forehead if you never shot a hard hitter.It was violent in a revolver that rolled in your hand,I wouldn't think of shooting something that heavy in an auto if you could make one strong enough to handle it.Good luck.

text: While I've gone to iron sights for hunting (more challenging for me), I do have and have used an LER scope mounted on my Finn M39 rifles. It's much easier to shoot with both eyes open using an LER than a regular scope. You're already focusing the "aiming eye" out to the scope, so it's not difficult to use the other eye to maintain a broad view of the intended target area.

Hi all,
Needs everyones opinion on this
Do you feel it is more difficult for a black person to get a teaching job in somewhere like Asia (inc. Korea+china)?
Would you say it is *significantly* more difficult to land a job?
Lastly, assuming that it is more difficult, what sort of things could be done to pursuade recruiters that you are perfect for the position? Anything besides the obvious: getting a good grade in the CELTA.
My thanks to all,

With the possible exception of Phil Jackson, no one has coached more high-stakes games against the Jazz than Rick Adelman.
First with Portland, then with Sacramento, then with Houston, Adelman's teams often stood in the way of Utah's quest to rise in the pecking order in the Western Conference.
Sometimes, the Jazz beat Adelman.
Sometimes, he beat the Jazz.
On Monday night at Target Center, Adelman could coach his last game against Utah and the next-to-last game of his career.
He turns 67 in June but, more significantly, Mary Kay Adelman has been battling health issues since January. Her husband missed 11 games during the season to be at her side and has since called this his most difficult year in coaching.
"It is life," said Minnesota's Andrei Kirilenko, who spent his first 10 NBA seasons with the Jazz. "We can't do anything about it. We support him as much as possible, but he needs to take care of the family first. Don't worry about what's going on here. Worry about family. That's how it is supposed to be."
If these are the final days of Adelman's 22-year career, he will leave as one of eight NBA head coaches with 1,000 regular-season wins.
The Timberwolves helped Adelman reach the milestone with a 107-101 win over Detroit on April 6. It was their 29th victory of the season.
"It was great," Adelman said. "That's a lot of wins, and it's been a lot of years. I like the way our team competed, trying to get those [wins] for me. But I'm glad it's out of the way."
On the court, the season hasn't produced many other highlights.
Going in, All-Star forward Kevin Love, flashy point guard Ricky Rubio and emerging center Nikola Pekovic formed a sturdy-looking foundation.
In addition, Minnesota signed Brandon Roy and Kirilenko and acquired Chase Budinger in a trade.
It appeared reaching the playoffs was a realistic goal at least until the Timberwolves were battered by injuries.
Love, Roy and Budinger have been sidelined most of the season, and Rubio missed 25 early-season games while recovering from knee surgery.
Guard Luke Ridnour is the only player on the roster who has played in all 80 games.
Kirilenko shakes his head.
"Playing-wise, it's been what I thought my role on the team and what I expected from Rick," he said. "But we have so many injuries. I don't know if I've ever seen when so many guys miss almost the whole season. …
"This has been devastating, of course, and it is frustrating to finish the season like this knowing you are going to vacation in a couple of games. But at least we see we are on a good track with healthy players."
Whether Adelman returns as the engineer of the train, however, is uncertain.
If not, he should be remembered around here as a most worthy opponent.

Johan Djourou believes Arsenal have nothing to fear when they face title hopefuls Manchester City this weekend.
The Swiss defender has seen Roberto Mancini's side close up twice this season, playing in narrow Carling Cup and Premier League defeats against the men from Eastlands. And despite City's quality, Djourou thinks three points are well within the Gunners' reach.
"They're a very good team and have showed it," he told Sunday's Official Matchday Programme.
"They've had a little dip recently though, and we can definitely beat them at Emirates – that's not something I have any doubts about. They have quality all over the pitch though and will give us a good game - they are still fighting hard for the title, but we can't worry about that.
"It's just about getting the points we need and winning the games we have to win. This is a big game for both of us, but it's down to us to beat them and show how good we are."
Arsenal's seven-game winning run in the league was halted by QPR last weekend, and Djourou believes that the need to recover from that setback adds extra edge to Sunday's game.
"It was a tough game and I do think you have to give a lot of credit to QPR – they played very well and had to give everything because they're fighting to stay in the division," he said.
"From our point of view it was disappointing though – we'd put in some great performances before that game and missed something this time.
"You don't want these things to happen, but that's sport – this time we were beaten by a team that seemed to want it a little bit more. Now we have to concentrate on beating Manchester City and keeping third place, because it's not done yet."

Student Prize named for Professor Schenk
Wayne State University Law School is pleased to announce the Alan Schenk Endowed Student Prize, which will be given annually to the outstanding student in the Law School's Business Planning course. The award will be given for the first time at the 2007 Honors Convocation this coming fall.
The prize is made possible by a generous gift from John and Lynn Collins. Mr. Collins, a 1976 graduate of the Law School, is senior vice president and general counsel of Champion Enterprises, Inc. in Auburn Hills, MI. Mrs. Collins is also a Law School graduate, Class of 1978.
Mr. Collins was a student of Professor Schenk, and he wished to honor his former teacher's impact on his career. "During his tenure at the Law School, Alan Schenk has touched the lives of thousands of students. Those practitioners now work in tax and business across the nation. We all benefited not only from Alan's long-standing dedication to excellence and thoughtful analysis but his continual efforts to always improve the lessons he strove to impart."
Mr. Collins continued, "I always admired his demeanor in the classroom: he was quiet and professional, yet a strong presence. It reminds me that his manner can be described by a phrase his students heard frequently: "And isn't that as it should be?""
Alan Schenk joined the Law School faculty in 1966 and is known internationally for his expertise on value added taxation. His book Value Added Tax: A Comparative Approach, co-authored with Professor Emeritus Oliver Oldman of Harvard Law School, was published in 2006.
At the Law School, Professor Schenk is renowned for the Business Planning Course which he has co-taught since 1969. He first taught this course with Professor Stephen Schulman; he now teaches the class with Law School graduate Peter Sugar, a member of the law firm Jaffe Raitt Heuer & Weiss. Professor Schenk also teaches Federal Income Tax, Corporate Taxation, Accounting for Lawyers, and Consumption Based Tax.

Ideally located in the Champs Elysées district, at the crossroads of culture and fashion, the San Régis hotel is happy to welcome you. The elegant facade and lavish interiors create a unique atmosphere inherited from its long history as a 19 Century townhouse. Each of the 30 rooms and 12 suites has its own character, fine materials, variety of colors and objets d'art blending in a refined and unique setting. Modern amenities are not forgotten and are discretely integrated. (Free wifi, LED screens...)
The lounge, restaurant and bar, offer a peaceful and intimate atmosphere with wood paneling, fireplaces and winter garden. They are the perfect place to enjoy a cocktail or a romantic dinner.
A discreet and friendly service together with the personalized style of the hotel, make the San Régis one of Paris best kept secrets.
The townhouse, 5 star rated, was built in 1857, the same year the Suez Canal was inaugurated. At the time, the Champs Elysées Avenue had already become the place to be, people of the high Parisian society parading in their carriages or sauntering down the avenue to meet friends.
In 1923, Mr. Simon André Terrail, owner of the famous restaurant "La Tour d'Argent", acquired this stylish residence to turn it into an elegant hotel located in what was already the crossroads of fashion, entertainment and business. The San Régis was born to accommodate the British tourists for whom Paris had become a famous destination. In the 1950s, its enviable location close to the Christian Dior boutique and Avenue Montaigne, made it the headquarter for famous fashion personalities as well as other celebrities: Carmel Snow, Editor of Harper's Bazaar, Lauren Bacall, Romy Schneider, Gene Kelly, Jacqueline Bisset, Candice Bergen et Louis Malle…
In 1984, looking for the hotel of his dreams, Elie George fell in love with the San Régis, captivated by its unrivaled location, the proportion of its beautiful façade and lovely interiors. Elie Georges and his brothers Maurice et Joseph then undertakes a complete renovation with the ambition of making the San Régis shine again as a luxury hotel, while keeping the character of a private home. A remarkable achievement supervised by the French interior Designer Pierre-Yves Rochon. From then on, Mr. Elie Georges never stopped improving the hotel in every little detail, pushing the San Régis to its new position within the very privileged world of luxury hotels.
Today, the San Régis is often referenced among the finest properties in the world (Andrew Harper's Hideaway Reporot, Condé Nast Traveler Gold List, Travel + Leisure).
The Hôtel San Régis has been officially rated 5 Stars on July 30th, 2012, according to the new hospitality rules implemented in France. The constant efforts of Georges' Family and the San Régis team are awarded again placing the hotel at the Paris top position.
The Golden Triangle (between the Champs Elysées and Avenue Montaigne) is recognized as the heart of fashion and luxury in Paris. It is also a place for entertainment and night life with a large choice of theaters, cinemas, cabarets, restaurants, bars and landmarks. Rue Jean Goujon is a quiet and residential street that stretches from Place de l'Alma to the Grand Palais. Sitting near the charming Place François Ier, the San Régis is a peaceful haven in this lively neighborhood.
Shopping starts around the corner, along the famous Avenue Montaigne and Rue François Ier (Dior, Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Ferragamo, Armani...). Rue du Faubourg St Honoré (Hermès,...) is also at a short walking distance.
Among the numerous gastronomic landmarks of Paris, Lasserre, Ledoyen and Laurent restaurants are a stroll away from the San Régis. Besides, Jean-François, our Concierge Clés d'Or, will be happy to update you on Paris gastronomic scene or share his secrets of more confidential tables.
Also a few steps away, the Grand Palais offers all art lovers a never-ending source of inspiration and astonishment. Built for the 1900 World's Fair "To the glory of French art", the Grand Palais proudly fulfills its vocation hosting every year some of the most prestigious exhibitions in the country (Picasso, Monet...) and major art fairs attended by art collectors coming from all over the world (FIAC, Biennale des Antiquaires...). Its spectacular glass-roofed naive is also the setting for some very exclusive events: Saut Hermès, fashion shows, private events...

Update from ARSC's New Director
[by Greg Newby]
Over the past months, ARSC has restructured and refocused. This was a result of the ending of our long-time status within the Department of Defense High Performance Computing Modernization Program (HPCMP). As of June 1, ARSC no longer operates a Defense Supercomputing Resource Center (DSRC). Although we remain involved in the HPCMP, it is in a secondary role, as subcontractors to the maintainers of several other DSRCs.
There is some very good news that has some out of this transition, however: our focus on academic high performance computing (and related infrastructure, services, and science) has become tighter, and the University of Alaska Fairbanks has taken a much more active fiscal and oversight role in ARSC's future.
Our "pacman" supercomputer, "bigdipper" storage, and many other facilities remain the same, and we are providing the same capable support that we always have had. In the near future, we anticipate growing the ARSC user base, as we work with UAF partners on new initiatives including a campus storage cloud, a data portal for federated data sets, and an institutional repository.
It is a bittersweet time at ARSC, because this rebuilding and refocusing was accompanied by significant downsizing. We have reduced from 46 staff and faculty in late 2010 to 28 today. The majority of ARSC personnel are funded, at least partially, through a variety of grants and contracts. During upcoming months and years, we will continue to reset staffing levels, funding sources, and roles at UAF and beyond.
Throughout the downsizing process, it remained clear that ARSC has become a valuable component in the HPC community of users at UAF and beyond. We will continue to play that role, and to seek new opportunities to grow our user base, expand services, and continually upgrade our technologies. All ARSC users can expect to receive the same outstanding support as always, along with a renewed focus on building and expanding our academic partnerships.
GPU programming for dilettantes: Matlab one-liners with GPUmat
[Part 1 of 2 by Chris Fallen]
Graphics processing units (GPUs) can be found almost everywhere lately: in workstations, in laptops, in HPC systems, and soon, even in cellphones. Massively-parallel GPU architectures, once used almost exclusively to render imaginary enemies to shoot at real gamers in 3D virtual dungeons, are now also used by real researchers to perform billions of calculations on imaginary numbers using less time and fewer carbon credits than streaming the latest funny cat video from YouTube (approximately).
However, a non-specialist who wants to use GPU hardware to accelerate the calculation of, say, millions of discrete Fourier Transforms (DFTs) generally must first learn GPU compute kernels and memory spaces through the CUDA or OpenCL application programming interfaces (APIs) for C/C++/Fortran. Many non-specialists find this thought to be nearly as distressing as whatever idea requires so many DFTs in the first place.
Fortunately for those non-specialists, a GPU programming model nearly as simple to imagine as an abstract box (GPU) attached to another abstract box (CPU) exists. And, of course, the API is written for Matlab. GPUmat (http://gp-you.org/), a GPU toolbox for Matlab, is a freeware API for accelerating (or potentially decelerating) Matlab programs with a CUDA-capable GPU. The key idea in using this "two box programming model" to accelerate a particular algorithm is that the time required to send data between the CPU and GPU boxes can be significant and hence should be minimized. In this two-part article, I will demonstrate how to use GPUmat through simple one-line Matlab benchmarks.
After installing the CUDA library and GPUmat on my workstation TAU, I initialize the GPU interface from the Matlab workspace by executing the GPUstart function. If the GPU initializes successfully, GPUstart will output a few details about my system and ask which of my NVIDIA GeForce GTX 480 accelerators I would like to use for accelerated general-purpose calculations.

The simplicity of the GPUmat interface is apparent when porting a single line of Matlab code that calculates the two-dimensional DFT of a simple 4x4 matrix to use the overloaded GPU-enabled fft2 function.
>> c = fft2(ones(4)) c = 16 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 >> g = fft2(GPUsingle(ones(4))) ans = 16 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Single precision COMPLEX GPU type.
Interpreted with the two-box programming model, the compound GPU-enabled command above creates a matrix of ones in the "CPU box" with the ones command, sends it to the GPU as a GPUsingle data type, calculates and stores the DFT inside the GPU box, and finally sends the results back to the CPU box where it can be displayed to the screen. The value of g remains stored on the GPU, as can be verified with Matlab's class command.
>> class(g) ans = GPUsingle
Explicitly copying the result from the GPU memory to the CPU memory is accomplished with a cast.
>> cg = single(g); >> class(cg) ans = single
We can create a simple benchmark to verify the GPU is in fact accelerating the code by calculating a much larger DFT, repeatedly, and using the timing functions tic and toc:
>> tic, for k=1:1000, c = fft2(single(ones(2048))); end, toc Elapsed time is 118.726524 seconds. >> tic, for k=1:1000, g = single(fft2(GPUsingle(ones(2048)))); end, toc Elapsed time is 85.896469 seconds.
The GPU speedup is modest but note that the CPU calculation is multithreaded and uses all four cores of TAU's AMD Opteron processor. GPU performance can be further improved by creating the matrix of ones on the GPU directly, eliminating the data transfer from the CPU to the GPU.
>> tic, for k=1:1000, g = single(fft2(ones(2048,GPUsingle))); end, toc Elapsed time is 37.139037 seconds.
Filling matrices directly on the GPU according to a mathematical formula is often well-suited to the GPU architecture and it also eliminates the data transfer bottleneck from the CPU to the GPU.
In many real world applications, however, input data is read from disk or from some external instrument and must be explicitly copied to the GPU. One of my tasks is to process ionosphere radar data where the input data is stored in single-precision complex-valued matrices: I need to calculate repeated one-dimensional DFTs along the columns of many input matrices. The computational load can be simulated for benchmarking purposes on the CPU and GPU by applying the fft function to random complex matrices, being careful to explicitly transfer the matrix to the GPU rather than letting the GPU generate the random numbers directly.
>> tic, for k=1:1000, c = fft(single(randn(1024,5000)*(i+1))); end, toc Elapsed time is 268.524532 seconds. >> tic, for k=1:1000, g = fft(GPUsingle(randn(1024,5000)*(i+1))); end, toc Elapsed time is 294.375797 seconds.
In this case, using the GPU instead of the CPU actually increases processing time! One significant difference from the previous benchmark, informally, is that the one-dimensional DFT requires fewer floating-point operations than the two-dimensional DFT for the same amount of data, and is thus less likely to benefit from GPU acceleration, and may even suffer from GPU deceleration!
Does this mean the GPU-enabled one-dimensional DFT calculation is useless? Not necessarily. Often a DFT is just one step in a multi-step algorithm and the performance of the GPU must be evaluated on the entire algorithm rather than as the sum of its constituent parts, given the significant data transfer overhead between the GPU and CPU. In the second part of this article, I will demonstrate this through additional one-line Matlab examples and discuss the use of GPUmat for prototyping stand-alone GPU-accelerated applications.
Random Thoughts from an Editor
1. I gave a talk last month about our fish model and tried to take advantage of the advice from Presentation Zen Design by Garr Reynolds. It's all about making clean slides, without too many words. Ditch the corporate logos if you can. In terms of design, it's the same points I learned in a 2-D design art class, but I hadn't thought about PowerPoint slides in that context.
2. There are also some good tips in Scientifically Speaking, available at http://www.tos.org/pdfs/sci_speaking.pdf, which I recently unearthed while trying to downsize the junk in my cubicle prior to moving upstairs. Notably, there's a fabulous before and after comparison of a poster - yes, I'm presenting a poster later this month, also on the fish model.
3. On poster creation, we've lost our staff who used to help out with such things. In the new ARSC, we have to fend for ourselves. I neither have a license for the old software, nor do I know how to use it. So I went online searching for tips on poster creation. The nature of the web is that you can usually find the opinion you were hoping for. I can't now find it, but I stumbled on a European fellow who highly recommends inkscape over PowerPoint for making posters. Score! Check out http://inkscape.org/. For tips on using it, try http://screencasters.heathenx.org/.
4. Some lessons from the fish model:
- This model coupling is tricky business, with people having spent millions on model coupling frameworks. We're just hardcoding the fish to be part of the ROMS ocean model.
- Getting funding for this stuff is tricky since it doesn't quite fit the mold in review panels for either biology or oceanography.
- Working with diverse people requires care and generous attributions - lots of co-authors on presentations, etc.
- There have been surprises. I was brought in for my knowledge of the ROMS model, but a data structures class I sat in on has been extremely helpful.
- Another surprise is that the zooplankton in one class of ecosystem models doesn't really match the zooplankton needed by the fish model. There are Eulerian "ecosystem" models with nitrate, phytoplankton, and zooplankton, in which the zooplankton are mostly there to limit the phytoplankton in realistic ways - and all the validation is done on the phytoplankton fields. The Lagrangian fish model requires a zooplankton field as food. Somehow the one doesn't generate enough for the other and the fish all starve to death.
Online Integrated Field Guide to Alaska
Just in time for the annual flood of summer tourists to the Last Frontier, a new website connecting Alaskan field scientists with those curious about Arctic discoveries is now available online at http://frontierscientists.com/. Frontier Scientists shares first-person accounts and real time insights from leading archeologists, grizzly bear biologists, volcano researchers, climate change specialists and other scientists.
"We want to let travelers, teachers, students, aspiring scientists, and anyone else interested in science feel as if they are along when our team is tracking a grizzly or documenting how climate change is disrupting Alaskan ways of life," explains Greg Newby, Director of the Arctic Region Supercomputing Center at the University of Alaska Fairbanks. "Visitors to Frontier Scientists can ask their own questions to our scientists directly, follow some of them on Twitter and Facebook, and converse on their blogs."
Newby has received funding from the National Science Foundation EAGER (EArly-concept Grants for Exploratory Research) program to support "small-scale, exploratory, high-risk, potentially transformative, time-critical research in the fields of science, engineering and education." The NSF-funded project, "DIG Frontier Scientists" (DIG-Digitally Integrated Guide) will "widen the general public's interaction with the cultural and natural environment by allowing them to access Web sites and load their handheld mobile devices with engaging descriptions of research," according to Newby.
The one-year, experimental DIG project also includes funding for one graduate and two undergraduate students at UAF to assist in the delivery of digital videos to computers and mobile devices.
Co-investigator on the project with Newby is Elizabeth O'Connell, producer, editor and project manager for WonderVisions. O'Connell is a University of Alaska broadcast media graduate. Her award winning programs include the Science of Whales, which aired nationally on the Discovery Channel.
According to O'Connell, fascinating footage of current scientific discoveries in some of the Arctic's most remote and dramatic landscapes are chronicled in short vodcasts, Twitter feeds, blogs and web reports on Frontier Scientists. The research is organized into categories:
- Grizzlies
- Petroglyphs
- Cook Inlet Volcanoes
- Alutiiq Weavers
- Climate Change Watch
Frontier Scientists also provides resources and tips on things to do in Alaska for those considering travel to the Last Frontier state, whether on an Alaska cruise or a backpacking expedition.
Quick-Tip Q & A
A:[[ I'm setting up a new ocean simulation and we have an idea for how to [[ handle land-fast ice. It requires reading in the land-fast ice from some [[ observations. My problem is that the model grid is in lat/lon and the [[ model reads netCDF files while the observations are in various GIS [[ formats. Available formats are GeoTiff, ESRI shapefiles, and Microsoft [[ Access Database. Any advice on dealing with these?
# We received this tip from reader Jed Brown:
# Elaborating quite a bit:
This points to a web site for the Geospatial Data Abstraction Library (GDAL), which can process the GeoTiff files. It also contains a related OGR library for processing the ESRI shapefiles. This gives us choices to make, including which language to access the library from. I chose to go with the GeoTiff files and with the Python language.
As such, I found this site to be quite helpful:
as was this one:
The files I started with have the fast ice as a 1, free ice as a 0, and only cover the months with ice. I started by copying the July file to August, then transforming any 1 to a 0. I then had the basis for creating a monthly climatology, using the ice-free month for September as well.
In python, I imported all the tools for dealing with our ocean model files as well as the gdal library. I read the map transform from a GeoTiff file and created the inverse map transform. Using these map transform parameters, I was able to map each of my lat,lon points onto the same mapping used in the GeoTiff file, then query each point to see what value it has in the GeoTiff image there. Finally, write out the stuck ice (I want zero) and the free ice (one) into a NetCDF file on my grid.
With this sort of job, the devil is in the details and you want to check things at each step of the way.
Q: I have some Fortran 90 code I want to call from inside Python. I have a setup.py file that can be used to build it, but I need to invoke it with "python setup.py build --fcompiler=gnu95". Is there any way to put the fcompiler option into the setup.py file, at least as a default?

I've had a lot of press inquiries about the Cool-er Reader, which is launching June 1 via direct sales on their Web site. Just a few quick thoughts:
Posted by Sarah Rotman Epps on May 6, 2009
As part of the Kindle DX announcement this morning, Amazon revealed that they're working with three newspapers--the New York Times, The Boston Globe, and the Washington Post--on a pilot program this summer where the publishers will offer the Kindle DX at a reduced price to subscribers in exchange for a long-term contract. The Detroit Free Press and Detroit News are launching a similar program with Plastic Logic devices.
This morning Amazon announced its new, textbook-optimized Kindle DX,
launched in partnership with six universities and three textbook publishers. My colleague James
McQuivey and I have been covering the eReader space, and I'm about to
publish a new report on the future of the eReader market.
Here's my take on the Amazon announcement:

As regards boating education, training and licensing, governments and NGAs have done much good. Even the Coast Guard publishing of accident statistics works to our benefit. Knowledge is power after all. My critique focused on do nothing programs that create the facade of reducing accidents and are not sufficiently comprehensive to accomplish the goal. Pilot education, training and licensing is pretty much a pinacle program of the Federal Government in this regard, and is closely equivalent to the Coast Guard Captain's education, training and licensing program. But how do you expand and apply that kind of program to recreational boaters? There are many interest groups that will fight to the death to stop any such development.
So, I truly want the government to continue developing safety practices, to publish safety statistics and to enforce safety laws so that serious, motivated and interested parties can institutionalize safety practices at every level of our sport and life style. Just think about all the safety engineering that exists in a modern boat and crew and compare that to the Nina, Pinta and Santa Maria.
Just sayin....(whatever that means)
Re: USCG 2011 Boating Statistics
Erm OK, guess you've definitely won that argument.

Next time you fly with an airline, why don't you have one of those untrained, unlicensed pilots fly the plane. I'm sure they'll figure it out on the way, no problem. According to your argument, the entire FAA is just there to empty pilot's wallets.

Re: USCG 2011 Boating Statistics
If you go into the detailed tables in the accident report, you can get a few morsels of info about sailboats. The best I can get out of that is this is that sailors need to stay on board.
Re: USCG 2011 Boating Statistics
Dean Instruction = learning from others experience. Expereince = learning from your mistakes. Success teachs nothing.
The ROI comes from less damage and wear and tear on your boat and crew.
I would like to see personal responsibility, I just too see too many incidents where it is sadly lacking. Like most laws, they are aimed at a minority.
Re: USCG 2011 Boating Statistics

Must reading.
I don't want to see government step in and tighten their grip on boaters but I would like to see more personal responsibility displayed in a voluntary manner. Whether a person gets instruction through a school, by boating with someone more experienced for awhile, or some combination of the two (this was my plan), the skipper absolutely needs to know how to keep him/herself and crew safe as well as others around them. In order to do that, IMHO, that means knowing what you're doing. I must agree with you that these statistics give instruction a favorable mark.
Re: USCG 2011 Boating Statistics
The best, truest measure of risk is the length of exposure to that risk. So If we could actually measure how many hours people are on the water and devise some way of rating the exposure to risk, then we would have a good measure. But risk is different for a sailboat than it is for a PWC, or a ski-boat, or a large motor yacht. So this is not a viable means when talking about boats. So for years it was based on accidents and fatalities per 100,000 boats, which is really not a very good measure. In the early 2000's the USCg started using a risk based measure but again it based on how many boats and how many people and so on. The model used is better than before but it still needs better data on actual exposure hours.
Training is definitely the way to go, and as was said most of us old fa..s got it at the hands of our fathers or grandfathers, and got a good chewing out if we made a mistake. That is not the case anymore. There are a lot of people buying boats, and the closest they have ever been to the water is the local swimming pool. They buy the sales pitch that you can just fire up and go.
This is not necessarily true on the sailboat side. Most people who buy sailboats have started out young and learned in dinghies.
And yes, actual hands on training, operating a boat, being required to navigate from one place to another, and showing that you know how your boat handles are the ideal. But this is not politically acceptable. It took the USCG over twenty years just to get the states to buy in to making people pass a test. Have you taken the test? I took Washington's test without any prior study, or even looking at their boating handbook, and missed 2 questions, both dealing with local regulations. The kind of stuff you need to read the states booklet to find out. If someone cannot pass this test they have no business being on the water, it's so simple.
Adding a hands on test would really be a hurdle. Have any of you taken a driving test or had a son or daughter take the test recently? Even these are so elementary it's pathetic. When my son took his hands on driving test in Maryland, he never had to take the car out of the parking lot. He showed he could start the car, maneuver around some cones, and back into a parking spot. What about traffic? nothing.
Would a test like that add any to the safety of boating? I doubt it. SO until some one comes up with a way to test someone, using the type of boat they own, then it will be worthless. Perhaps some kind of computer simulation that could simulate different types of boats, and different conditions (Lakes, rivers, sounds, ocean) then that might be useful.
Re: USCG 2011 Boating Statistics
The more I think about it, the more I think that any training requirement should focus on whether you are a danger to others, more than yourself. I don't think we should regulate the risk an adult decided to take on for themselves. However, having passengers is different.
I wonder if there is any way to narrow down the stats to how may passengers are hurt.

Got ign. lock cylinder assembled....not bad
Well, I received my new igniton lock cylinder tonight, and with the excellent instructions provied by the Ebay seller, (FORD iOEM nstructions), and a very informative You tube video also supplied by the seller, I got the ign. lock cylinder all assembled. Now I will install the assembled cylinder in my car over the weekend. Hopefully that will go just as smoothly.
I used a dial calipers and measured all the cuts and believe it or not, what I came up with was SPOT ON what the seller said it would be, after I sent him a pic of the key itself!! I was impressed.
As you can see from the photo, it seems there may be some validity in what the one poster said about Ford, this bag from Strattec has a Ford part number on it and a Ford barcode, and it says "made in the USA" so maybe they are supplying these to Ford? This is the revised cylinder and was about $33 shipped! I am hoping to head the ignition cylinder issue off at the pass before I have a problem!
I am very pleased so far, seems to be good quality.
|G Ford Fan
Exactly, I don't see any reason why one would want to use the old style, but if you go to Advance or Auto Zone, the Dorman hose is identical to the Stock Ford one.
Now waiting for my ign key lock cylinder to show up to address that issue! LOL!
|Yeah, I guess if people still want the older style it's still available.
|G Ford Fan
Sounds, good thanks again Terry and others who posted and offered help.
To the one poster, I think it was the third post overall, the photo showing the two hoses is a comparison. The top hose is the OEM style, with the hard bend, (that usually gets a hole in it or sucks shut under engine vaccum load). The one with the heat shielding on it is the revised part, so if you already changed that you are good to go, you don't change both, it's the same hose for the same application, just a revision on the OEM style (and a good one too) the bend for the rear of the intake is not as harsh so I don't anticipate any issues with this new hose.
|I'm glad I saved you some time instead of searching around. I paid about the same through my local dealer. I didn't have any holes, but when I ran my engine the hose would completely collapse. I went through Amazon for my ignition cylinder. I think I paid about $57.00 for the Motorcraft part. I didn't even bother using the tumblers. Any key will fit, but without the PATS chip the car won't start. So I'm not concerned with a security issues. It also allows me to remove the key while the car is running.
|G Ford Fan
I got my PVC hose changed out today.
I used the Ford revised hose with the heat shielding on it, it was $21 at the local dealer.
My hose didn't have any holes in it, but at the bend where it goes into the rear of the intake it felt "soft" As you can see from the pic, the hose is dry-cracked and could have been leaking (or partially sucking shut at that bend) and contributing to my part-throttle surging and sometimes low-idle. It was worth changing now, before I'm forced to do it on a 15 degree day this winter!
It also had some knicks and rub marks on it so it would have rubbed through soon also.
Thanks (Terry B) for the part # that is the one I purchased, and advise I recd in the Ztec chat forum and this thread!
|G Ford Fan
Yes, the ebay seller sells startec. It has to be the same person. He has a very good feedback rating. I'm going to give it a shot and just ask for the kit to key it myself. Can't be that hard with good instructions.
Be it made in China or not! I had my wife's 08' up on the lift for service last night and saw that what I believe was the AC condenser to have a FoMoCo tag on it that says "MADE IN CHINA"
I about threw up! I know we have a global economy, but geeze...Chinese JUNK....can't stand it! So if Ford is putting Chinese JUNK on OEM, why not aftermarket? Just different grades of Chinese Junk I guess? LOL!
Sorry for the rant!
|I just bought one from i believe the same seller off ebay. Was it out of New York? Anyway, the seller claimed the ford doesn't make 'new' ignition cylinders any more & they use this other company called starttec. This seller also keyed this ic to my sisters zts for no extra charge after i sent them hi-res photos of the key. Procedure took around 10 minutes, just make sure you have a small flat-head screw driver to fit in the little hole to release the ic. 1st time took me around 1/2 an hour, (bought a different set keyed to another car, wasn't thinking) 2nd time took me 10 minutes start to finish.
|G Ford Fan
The Ebay one Is supposed to come with total instructions....i just don't know how to key the OEM if i went that route, to my current key....the Ebay one is supposed to include instructions on how to key the cylinder too......
seems easy enough to physically change out the lock cyl though.
I also strongly believe this is the OEM lock cyl......my Grandpa bought this car new, and unless it was changed when he wrecked the car when it was 2 yrs old (heavy front end hit) then it's the factory original.
|We can give you instructions for how to replace a lock cylinder that is not locked up. It's easy as long as you can turn the key. All you do is remove the plastic covering the steering column, then turn the key back to the ACC position, and press a detent on the upper corner- 10 o'clock position- at the base of the lock cylinder. Use a small allen wrench or small screwdriver to press it in- and the cylinder will fall off.

text: Bynum, Stuck, and Max were beasts in this one. And personally, I don't believe swapping Iverson for Bynum in this rotation makes us a better team. Bynum can get into the lane like AI, but finishes better, and the defense is miles apart. I don't know if AI's game will work in spurts like Bynum's does. AI has always been a "takes a minute to heat up" guy. Rodney's 2nd quarter (10pts, 4 asts, 1 stl) was great to see. It's been a long time since the offense has been run through him like that, and he did a great job of mixing scores and dimes. A little glimpse into the future once this is "his team". Arron was pretty bad. Looked like he hasn't played basketball in a while (and he hasn't). Kwame was Ba-ru-tal. Overall, it was great (again) to see the team moving the ball so well in the 1st half.

ATLANTA - The North Carolina men's tennis team (8-10, 1-4 ACC) defeated Georgia Tech (8-11, 1-5 ACC) by a score of 5-2 on Friday at Byers Tennis Complex, picking up their first ACC win and snapping an eight-game losing streak in the process.
The Tar Heels were paced by a strong doubles performance, taking the point behind wins at the No. 2 and No. 3 positions.
Oystein Steiro and Andrew Gores notched the first doubles victory for Carolina by handling Georgia Tech's Colin Edwards and Garrett Gordon at the No. 3 seed, 8-2. Esben Hess-Olesen and Brett Clark went on to secure the doubles point with a 9-7 win at No. 2.
The match at the No. 1 position between Carolina's pairing of Nelson Vick and William Parker and the Yellow Jacket's duo of Juan Spir and Eduardo Segura was halted when the point was clinched, leaving the match tied at 7-7.
The Tar Heels went on to take four of the six singles matches to seal the 5-2 victory.
No. 38 Esben Hess-Olesen kept the positive momentum going for Carolina, claiming a 6-3, 6-2 victory over Juan Melian at the No. 1 seed.

I just walked in the door from work only to find a niced sized package sitting on my table from you know who!
I was so excited, I opened the box, grabbed my camera and snapped off a few shots before I even took my coat off! LOL
Here you go!
This thing is so solid and nice that I can't wait to wear it to a convention!

It might astonish you to know that, although we use our brains all the time, science knows very little about how they actually work. That is why recently, President Barack Obama announced a $100 million initiative to map the human brain.
"We can identify galaxies light-years away; we can study particles smaller than an atom; but we still haven't unlocked the mysteries of the three pounds of matter that sits between our ears," Obama said in a press conference on the announcement April 2.
Obama's Brain Research Through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies (BRAIN) project will seek to discover what occurs between the 100 billion cells firing inside the brain with the goalof helping to prevent and even cure neurological diseases, such as Alzheimer's or Parkinson's, that affect as many as 100 million Americans.
Johns Hopkins University is at the forefront of brain science research. The Brain Science Institute (BSi) at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine was launched to develop new multidisciplinary research teams; create cutting edge-research cores for use by all brain researchers at Hopkins; and foster translation of discoveries to treatments of brain diseases, in part, by improving our ability to partner with industry and biotechnology.
In 2012, Peter Searson, professor of materials science and engineering and director of Johns Hopkins Institute for NanoBioTechnology (INBT), joined forces with Jeffrey Rothstein MD, PhD, director of the BSi, to create the Blood-Brain Barrier Working Group. This group brings together researchers with diverse interests and expertise to address key problems associated with drug delivery, to discover the role of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) in disease, and to elucidate the structure and function of the BBB.
"The blood-brain barrier is a dynamic interface that separates the brain from the circulatory system and protects the central nervous system from potentially harmful chemicals while, at the same time, regulating transport of essential molecules and maintaining a stable environment," Searson said. "It is formed from highly specialized endothelial cells that line the brain capillaries, which transduce signals in two directions: from the vascular system and from the brain. The structure and function of the BBB is dependent upon the complex interplay between different cell types, specifically the endothelial cells, astrocytes and pericytes, within the extracellular matrix of the brain and with the blood flow in the capillaries."
Although the BBB serves the important purpose of tightly regulating the environment of the brain and preventing sudden changes, which the brain cannot tolerate, Searson said, "this interface also blocks the passage of drug molecules to treat disease, neurodegenerative disorders, inflammation or stroke. Unfortunately, animal models are insufficient for use in under-standing how the human blood-brain barrier functions or responds to drugs. In addition, little is known about how disease, inflammation or stroke disrupts or damages the blood-brain barrier."
With this in mind, the BBB working group has two primary goals, Searson explained. "Our long-term goal is to build an artificial microvessel that will be the first platform that recapitulates a brain capillary in its local microenvironment. This will enable fundamental studies as well as drug discovery and the development of methods to cross the blood-brain barrier," Searson said.
The second goal is to understand how the blood-brain barrier can be damaged or disrupted so that strategies can be developed to repair it. Injury and disease can disrupt the normal structure and function of the blood brain barrier.
Currently the BBB Working Group has 40 researchers from disciplines as diverse as anesthesiology, materials science and engineering, pharmacology and oncology. Three postdoctoral fellows and 12 pre-doctoral students are also involved. The group meets monthly and hosts expert speakers on various topics. The working group website also lists current funding opportunities to which members can apply and conferences and workshops of interest.
Membership in the working group is open to any student, faculty member or staff at Johns Hopkins University in any discipline.

Re: What happened to the basic academic calender?Lisa Rivero Oct 13, 2013 10:42 AM (in response to John-Paul Petersen)
From My Hub, click on Academic Catalogs. The Academic Calendar link is on the left, third from the top:
Re: What happened to the basic academic calender?Katherine Wikoff Oct 13, 2013 12:20 PM (in response to John-Paul Petersen)
In addition to finding the calendar in the Academic Catalogs, it helps to know that MSOE's academic calendar revolves around Thanksgiving.
If you want to look ahead three years and know when final exams will be scheduled, you can simply find the calendars that straddle that academic year, let's say, 2016-17. Locate Thanksgiving 2016. That week is the break between fall and winter quarters. The week before that will be finals week for Fall 2016. If you count back 11 weeks from Thanksgiving week, you can find out when the first day of classes will be in Fall 2016.
Then count forward 10 weeks from Thanksgiving week, remembering that we get two weeks off for Christmas and New Year. That takes you through winter quarter. The 11th week will be finals week. The following week would be our break between winter and spring quarters.
Final exams in Spring 2017 will be either 11 or 12 weeks out from that break, depending on where Memorial Day falls. Spring Quarter has to be finished by Memorial Day because summer classes begin the day after. If the calendar allows a break at Easter, then we get the week after Easter Sunday off. If a week off would push Spring Quarter final exams past Memorial Day, though, then we don't get a break.
Maybe it's usually easier to find the Academic Catalog and look the calendar up, but this is how I've always figured out dates when I'm at the dentist's office trying to schedule appointments months into the future.

Re: What happened to the basic academic calender?Andrew Dressel Nov 26, 2013 8:49 AM (in response to Katherine Wikoff)
This is all fascinating, but I don't understand why MSOE seems to go out of its way to keep the academic calendar so vague. The one provided at http://www.msoe.edu/event-calendar doesn't even mention when classes resume after the holidays (seriously); and the one provided at http://www.msoe.edu/docs/DOC-2176,
which appears to be just a copy from the catalog, doesn't explicitly state when exam week starts and stops. We are left to guess, or attempt to derive, if "end of winter quarter" means end of classes or end of exam week.
What is the deal? Why can't we have a simple, official calendar that explains when classes start and stop and when exams start and stop? How on earth can it make sense for everyone to be trying to figure it out from scratch and hoping that we don't make a mistake?
Re: What happened to the basic academic calender?Kip Kussman Nov 26, 2013 9:05 AM (in response to John-Paul Petersen)
Hi John-Paul-
The academic calendar exits in a few places on the website in a variety of ways. The main calendar is under student resources. I've included the link for you: http://www.msoe.edu/community/campus-life/student-resources/page/2322/academic-calendar You can always search for it in the search bar at the top of the page. The search function will return four categories: pages, content, places and people. Since the calendar is a page on the site, it will be in the first return. We recently reconfigured the entire search functionality, so hopefully you will have an easier time finding what you are looking for.
Re: What happened to the basic academic calender?Andrew Dressel Nov 26, 2013 9:24 AM (in response to Kip Kussman)
While it is an improvement to have a more-official-looking copy of the docx file, which is still available at http://www.msoe.edu/docs/DOC-2176, it appears to be identical to it. And, while it does helpfully give the time of day that the winter quarter ends, it still does not explicitly state on which days classes end and exams begin. For some reason, which I cannot yet imagine, this is left to the user to deduce.
Re: What happened to the basic academic calender?Dana Grennier Nov 26, 2013 9:38 AM (in response to Andrew Dressel)
Thank you for the insightful feedback. This sounds like an issue that needs to be addressed by the academic departments. The calendar, on the site, is the same as it has always existed.
Perhaps Frederick Berry would be willing to consider your concerns and adaptions can be made to the calendar in the future.
I am trying to find the basic outline of semester/holiday break dates and in clicking through the HUB calender I am not getting that. Is there another place to get this information now?

In a rematch of last year's Championship bout, the Denver Outlaws seek redemption at home as they take on the Toronto Nationals Saturday at Invesco Field. And from the looks of the first couple weeks, the Outlaws could make that a reality. With a combination of poor defense and lack of offense, the Nationals appear a shadow of their former selves early on in the 2010 season coming into the Mile High City against a team that looks to obtain back to back wins at home on top of retribution.
The Outlaws come into week 3 off a 13-10 victory over Long Island, and a win on Saturday would pull Denver over .500 for the season. In the two weeks so far, Denver leads the MLL in the groundball game with 73 and are second in the league with shots on goal percentage at 58.3 (Boston currently leads with 60.4).
For the Nationals, it is a story of falling downhill from their inaugural championship season. In the first two games this season, Toronto is a league worst in nearly every stat. Only 25 groundballs in 120 minutes played on top of 39 shots taken on net resulting in only 21 points. This is on top of allowing 37 shots on goal against Chesapeake in week 1 and 30 in week 2 at Chicago . Might I add that 41 of those 67 shots have gotten past netminders Brett Queener and Doc Schneider. In comparison to last season, the Nationals had 62 SOG and allowed 10 goals less in the first two weeks.
Although slow out of the gate, Toronto does not need to hit the panic button just yet, but if they want a tally in the win column this week, the team needs to step up in the loose ball department and spend more time in the offensive zone to ease the pressure off the defense in trying to keep them in the game.
Denver and Toronto met a total of four times in the 2009 season, in which the Outlaws took two of three in the regular season before Toronto got the last laugh in winning Denver's season finale and later on rallying late to snag the Championship from under them. In those four meetings Denver has dominated the shots on goal, but the Nationals have more groundballs scooped and has won the face off battle in all games but the 2009 Championship.
Again, if Toronto wants to win this weekend, it starts (like every other game) with winning the groundball battle and establishing control on the offensive side of the field. Defensively, whether it is Queener or Schneider in net, the keeper needs to step up to meet the shooters of Denver.
It is still difficult to say early in the season of who to look at all season for either team, but watch Brendan Mundorf at attack and middy Max Seibald for the Outlaws. The majority of Denver's offense has come from these two individuals early on, scoring 12 of 26 points in two weeks between the pair. On defense look for long pole Eric Martin, an enforcer down low as well as being key on clears. In net, Jessie Schwartzman is coming off a 12 save performance off of 22 shots taken from Long Island, expect the performance to return at home.
For the Nationals, John Grant Jr. is always a favorite target to guard, and for good reason; he leads the team early on tallying six points off of two assists and four goals alongside Josh Sims, also netting four including a 2 point goal last week in Chicago, Denver may want to keep an eye on the fan favorite from the National Lacrosse League when he is up top. For the poles, Brodie Merrill has three points of his own already, meaning he can be a threat on both sides of the ball.

- What Is Comparative Effectiveness Research
- What Is the Research Process?
What Is the Research Process?
Comparative effectiveness research can be systematic reviews of existing evidence or original research where evidence is generated. In both cases, researchers are determining the effectiveness or comparative effectiveness of any test, procedure, or treatment.
Comparative effectiveness reviews are conducted by an Evidence-based Practice Center (EPC) using rigorous methods and guidelines. Researchers review clinical research and clinical trials, along with other research studies, to answer the key questions.
Sometimes, there are not enough studies available to conduct a systematic review. In these cases, two other Effective Health Care Program research networks conduct original research to provide new evidence of outcomes and potential adverse effects or events that might be associated with a test, procedure, or treatment. These networks are: the DEcIDE (Developing Evidence to Inform Decisions about Effectiveness) Network or the Centers for Education & Research on Therapeutics (CERTS).
The graphic below describes the steps used by the Program to generate, synthesize, and translate evidence. Persons using assistive technology may open the content included in the graphic below in a new page.

Finally getting rid of my Euro hella mk4 looks. They are the rare glass lens and not those crappy plastic ones that everyone else runs. They are in mint condition and do not have any problems with them. I am looking for $250.00 because you can not even get parts for these anymore. They have bin discontinued by hella euro for about 2 years now. I am willing to trade for an early vento grill and vento smoked E codes and knot those crappy (DJ AUTO) junk. Let me know and pics on request! Trades will need to be soon because the car is in the body shop as we speak.
New price 250.00 plus shipping! Want them gone asap

WATCH: Paralyzed VA Teen Walks to Get Diploma
BURKE, Va. (AP) -- A Virginia teen paralyzed in a swimming accident in Hawaii was able to walk across the stage to accept his high school diploma.
Nick Balenger has gone through intense rehabilitation since injuring himself diving into shallow water in July 2012.
On Wednesday, he used a walker to cross the length of the stage and accept his diploma at Burke's Lake Braddock High School.
The former star pitcher for the school's baseball team then switched to a cane to get down a few steps. The crowd gave him a standing ovation.
Students at the school had previously only seen Balenger use a wheelchair and stand briefly.
Balenger is starting college at James Madison University in the fall. His doctors tell him that a 95 percent recovery from his injury is possible.
