text: Posted May 10, 2013 Ouya, the little open-source game console that could, has received very high marks for repairability by iFixit. iFixit tears down consoles, phone, tablets and other devices to see what hardware is used and grades the devices on how easy they are to repair if something were to go wrong. The console, which costs just $99 for consumers, is three inches across by three inches high and deep. Under the hood is 1GB SDRAM, a Nvidia Tegra 3 CPU, a Texas Instruments power management tool and comically, five metal weights used to make the console more bottom heavy and not topple over and to keep the cables connected in the back more stable. Scoring a 9 places the Ouya in rare company, as many current generation devices are almost impossible to repair on your own if something were to happen. For example, the new MicrosoftSurface Pro tablet scored a 1/10, with the company calling it impossible to repair. Additionally, iFixit tore apart the controllers (which cost $50 after the first one) and found they are powered by an ARM Cortex M3 processor. The company says the joysticks are soldered to the circuit board, however, meaning if the joysticks are damaged you will likely have to completely replace the controller.

Phoenix Wins Five-Set Thriller to Open UND Classic
By: Ryan Hartwig (@RyanHartwig)
GRAND FORKS, N.D. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) - Lyndsay Zabkowicz (Oak Creek, Wis.) registered a career-high 22 kills as Green Bay (2-3) opened the UND Classic with a thrilling 3-2 victory over Stephen F. Austin (3-2) Friday evening at the Betty Engelstad Soiux Center in Grand Forks, N.D. The Phoenix trailed 2-1 after the third set, but rallied to take sets four and five in the 23-25, 25-17, 23-25, 25-21, 15-11 win.
"It was a good win for us," Green Bay head coach Debbie Kirch said. "We didn't start the match very well, but after the Northern Illinois match we talked a lot about changing momentum and how we are in control of that. We also played really well offensively tonight. It was the best match our outsides have had all season."
The Phoenix out-hit the Ladyjacks .291 to .126 in the contest, which included dominant performances in the three set wins. Green Bay hit .433 compared to SFA's .025 in set two, recording kills on 15 of its 30 attempts while committing just two errors. The Phoenix posted .294 and .348 percentages in sets four and five, respectively, while forcing the Ladyjacks to hit just .050 and .077.
Zabkowicz hit .340 in the match, committing just four errors in 53 attempts. The junior topped her previous career high of 18 kills, which she set her freshman season against Milwaukee. Monica Anderson (Cottage Grove, Wis.) also posted a career-high kill total with 15, hitting a team-best .361. Setting up the majority of the attacks was junior Leah Poel (Jenison, Mich.), who had a match and season-high 51 assists to go along with 18 digs. Katie Mroczenski (New Berlin, Wis.) also had a strong contest in the middle for the Phoenix, helping on nine of the team's 12 total blocks.
The first set was tight throughout, as neither team led by more than three at any point. With SFA holding a 16-13 advantage, Zabkowicz drove home back-to-back kills to get the Phoenix to within one. Three straight attack errors by the Ladyjacks gave Green Bay its first lead at 18-16, but SFA took the next five points to go back ahead 21-18. An Anderson kill got the Phoenix back within one at 24-23, but a kill by Paige Holland ended the set and gave SFA the 1-0 lead.
Green Bay got off to a good start in set two, jumping out to a 10-4 lead thanks to seven kills by five different players. The Phoenix pushed its lead to nine (17-8) and never looked back, cruising comfortably to a 25-17 win.
After trailing 17-10 in the third set, Green Bay went on a 10-3 run to even the score at 20-20. Three straight kills moved the Ladyjacks back in front, but an error followed by a Carmen Leitermann (Schofield, Wis.) service ace gave the Phoenix life down 23-22. Green Bay was unable to take advantage, as an attack error gave SFA set point and a kill by Sabrina Burns ended it, moving the Ladyjacks ahead 2-1.
With the score knotted at 4-4 early in the fourth, the Phoenix rattled off six straight points with Sabrina Marunowski (Milwaukee, Wis.) serving. The Ladyjacks mounted a comeback, however, as two straight kills by Keeley Kainer moved SFA back in front 20-19. A kill by Anderson, followed by two SFA attack errors gave the Phoenix a one-point advantage, and a kill by Leitermann forced the Ladyjacks to call timeout trailing 23-21. After a double block by Leitermann and Poel, Zabkowicz closed it out with a kill to send the match to the fifth and final set.
The fifth started with a service ace by freshman Becca Mastey (Pulaski, Wis.), giving the Phoenix a lead it would never relinquish. Green Bay started fast, building a 6-1 advantage after kills from Leitermann, Mroczenski and Zabkowicz. The Ladyjacks made things interesting, battling its way to 12-10, but back-to-back kills by Zabkowicz sealed the 15-11 win, giving the Phoenix its second victory of the season.
Joining Zabkowicz and Anderson with double-figure kills was Leitermann (11), who has recorded at least 10 kills in four of the first five matches this season. Brittany Groth (Oak Creek, Wis.) led the Phoenix with 20 digs, while Mastey added a career-best 17.
Green Bay returns to action in the UND Classic on Saturday with matches against host North Dakota at 1 p.m. and South Dakota at 5 p.m.

Posted by Ellen Carney on the eBusiness & Channel Strategy Professionals Blog on June 17, 2014
Don't you hate when a company advertises a product but fails to make it easy to find and buy?
Mad Men's Don Draper, who, in the 1960's could have been as likely to work in insurance as advertising (but the story would have been not nearly so interesting), would have a field day with the findings from Forrester's just published report, "The Next Act For Usage-Based Car Insurance", the first in a four-report series addressing the UBI landscape in the US, Canada,and Europe and the future of UBI.
Smart devices, smartphones, and smart cars are converging to create what should be a smart insurance choice for safe drivers and their insurers. The report examines American consumer interest and adoption of usage-based car insurance and the obstacles to purchase, many of which point directly to insurance eBusiness failings.
When Forrester last looked at the UBI market in 2008 (then termed "Pay As You Drive" or PAYD), consumers couldn't get it because of a big distribution problem: It was offered by few insurers in just a few states. A couple of months ago, we decided to see just what had changed over the past five or so years when it came to consumer interest and purchase. What did we learn?

Though players disappear from the radar of UC basketball fans upon graduating, the coaching of those who continue their basketball careers overseas only begins for Mick Cronin.
CINCINNATI -- Yancy Gates laughs and rolls his eyes simultaneously. All at the mere mention of the multitude of important decisions he needed to make in the months following the conclusion of his UC career and beginning of his professional journey.
The moment Ohio State put the finishing touches on his final NCAA tournament run in March of 2012, Gates faced an uncertain future.
Where should he play? Should the NBA be an option? Is riding the bench worth being in the league? What International leagues present the best opportunities? Do any offer health insurance? Who should be his agent? What will he do with an influx of income? When will he see his daughter and family? How must he alter his game for the next level?
Gates spent his life on the streets of hometown Cincinnati, as recognized as comfortable and caretaken. Eventually last year, he landed in Lithuania, only recognized by teammates and his work Visa. Decisions needed to be made and executed while processing a language out of the Rosetta Stone post-graduate program and culture adjustment only a sitcom writer could love.
Enduring the process alone would come as easy as personally calculating the currency conversion from American dollars to Lithuanian litas.
"You try to talk to a lot of different people," said Gates, who spent this summer in the Puerto Rico league. "It's a lot different than being in college where your house and room is paid for, all that stuff so, you got to be more responsible. Just because you're are overseas, I have a daughter. That doesn't take away from the responsibilities you have at home. You just try to stay focused and be able to budget all of it on an even level. You try to use all your sources."
That's where Mick Cronin enters the equation. He developed Gates in order to win 89 games during four years for UC. In Cronin's mind, though, with Gates and every other product of the Bearcats program, after the final game his coaching just begins.
"We got a lot of things to do with those guys," Cronin said. "Stuff we do with guys all the time. There are things people don't realize with these guys, they are graduated, their health insurance is gone. If you are getting it through the university or with your parents. There are things we talk about with these guys all the time are important. A lot of young people don't understand how important that is."
Little time exists for lag. Upon leaving school, Cronin immediately helps them find agents they can trust - as much as that is attainable. If the NBA doesn't come calling, which will be the case for 99 percent of college basketball players, a trusted guide through often rocky overseas waters stands essential.
Just ask John Williamson. He's played in eight different countries since graduating from UC in 2008. Williamson averaged 12.5 points and 6.8 rebounds during his two seasons as a JuCo transfer early in Cronin's rebuilding process.
Taking on a career overseas he endured a medical staff in Venezuela that incorrectly diagnosed what turned out to be a broken collarbone, nearly forcing career-threatening damage had he not decided to bolt the league after one game.
Every offseason he's forced to weigh options between leagues covering the globe, all while being discounted as as series of injuries stunted his progress. Cronin set Williamson up with an agent he could trust and even a financial planner to properly save his money. He sent out word to international coaches assisting Williamson finding teams.
Williamson leaned on both his biological family and UC family to make it through.
"You have to look at it as I am going to live abroad, going overseas for this x-amount of months and I am not going to see my family and stuff like that," Williamson said. "There's more of a mental state. You got to have that passion and have good people around you like Mick Cronin."
This past season he averaged 15.4 points and 5.6 rebounds playing in France. He's currently undecided if he will rejoin that team or move elsewhere as one of the top American free agents in the league.
He's not surprised by all the assistance Cronin and his staff offered once he couldn't help them win games anymore, that generosity drew him to UC in the first place.
"It's not a surprise because of how Mick is," Williamson said. "Even former players before us, I'd see how he treated them when I was here. If they needed anything as far as tickets or jobs or anything, he'll help you as much as he can. That's why I have no doubt if I needed anything as far as playing ball, a phone call to Mick and I'm sure he'd do the best he can to help me out. It's always good to have the relationship and the people I met over the years in Cincinnati is all good people, so it's a blessing."
Williamson thrives as a veteran of the European game and still hoping to work out for NBA scouts when given the opportunity. He hears from coaches, teammates and scouts repeatedly than his game can translate to the league. If that opportunity comes, he'll be grateful. If not, well, playing in Europe has been a different dream come true in itself.
Meanwhile, Gates still chases his dreams. He could have taken a camp tryout with the Boston Celtics last year, but passed so he could spend time playing instead of sitting. He hopes a few years in Europe will lead to a shot in the NBA. Where his path forks next remains to be determined. He only knows when the decisions pile up again, he knows what number to call.
"Anything I'd asked (the UC coaching staff) before they were willing to help me with," he said. "I could call any guy on the coaching staff, any trainer, anyone would help me even now still. I keep in contact with all of them."
I want to hear from you! Shoot me any comments, questions or suggestions about anything surrounding UC athletics to email@example.com or hit me up on Twitter @pauldehnerjr.

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by Slippy, Jan 1, 2012.
With this kind of news.........he should be placed in the Dunk contest.
Perhaps Coach just hasn't figured out how best to use Daye yet.
The drafting of Brandon Knight was the worst thing that could've happened to the development of our point-forward of the future.
Well, that, and actually letting him play in some games.
Perhaps if the stubborn coach realized that Jerebko is not a power forward, then Daye would truly shine.
Uh, really? Just...
Perhaps some dribbling drills might be in order....
Is that because he's not going to dress for the games any more?
He's been demoted to Ben Wallace's barbell.
PISTONS: Power of the Pushup I thought about a new thread but nah, necro-ing threads is so 2012 around here. Its cool to read about Daye but the real interesting thing about the article is Kander. Kander should have his own show. It could be part reality, part fitness training/expose.
No wonder Daye can't make a jump shot anymore. Arnie has him doing 5,000 pushups a day.
I guess it's better than the one where Arnie makes Charlie work out in the sauna and then take a cold shower with his clothes on.
Imagine the show where he makes CV do all that and they cut in interviews with Kander, Monroe and Frank all commenting on it and somehow losing it and laughing
If you have skill, you can improve it. If you don't, you can still do pushups and take saunas.
thanks for posting that article. I'm glad they are developing him... but no wonder he can't shoot his normal percentage this year. I'm sure that most of us here have shot a basketball around after lifting weights, which can definitely mess with your touch. It will help him in the long run though, so hopefully we're not just paying him and developing him so that another team can reap the rewards.
This actually would be a great tanking strategy. Have all Piston players lift a butt-load of weights immediately prior to tip-off. We'd be assured of shooting like crap, being sluggish on D and get stronger for the future all at the same time. I played in high school and my coach was big on not lifting until after practice.
Arnie has been with the organization longer than any coach or player. This could be a 2001/ HAL type of situation where Arnie is taking it upon himself to ensure that the mission's ultimate objectives are achieved.
If I take the story as gospel and I have no reason to not... it explains his shooting, but the reason he hasn't gotten mins has to do with other things that lifting shouldn't effect... I really want to see though what Daye and our other young players look like with a real off season of work with the coaching staff... Get rid of BenG, CV, and Wallace (by his own actions) and fill those voids with 3 young players and lets see where we are at next year.
Wow I tried that last night, and boy does it hurt. No surprises most people wouldn't be able to finish it. What surprised me the most is Frank. The fact that he is willing to walk the walk with his players and put in effort all the time, for me, is a big step forward and a great way to create a bit of respect all round.

This post contains 20 embedded YouTube Videos. If you are receiving this article via email, please consider visiting this article on Know Your Own Bone in order to play the videos.
Social media video sites such as YouTube and Vimeo can be critical tools for nonprofits looking to encourage engagement regarding their mission and brand. This is no different for zoos, aquariums, and museums (ZAMs). In fact, with the double bottom line of spreading a mission and "pushing the gate," these videos aim to serve a dual function. With the rise of Pinterest and a Facebook shifting its focus to prioritize engaging content, it seems as though we may be at a turning point with the way that we use social media. In other words, ZAMS may find themselves producing more and more organic and/or creative, timely videos than they have in the past. We may be in the midst of this trend. Just check out the creative online initiatives that ZAMs took up for the 2011 holiday season.
In order to keep a pulse on YouTube views and subscribers in the ZAM community, I have compiled the "most viewed" videos from several institutions, which I chose by popular vote and visitation. While there are several similarities among the list in terms of type of videos with significant viewership, there is no magic formula for a popular video. I have compiled viewership information from twenty leading zoos, aquariums and museums. Here are the ZAMs that I monitored, in order of their number of subscribers (with links to respective YouTube channels):
- Museum of Modern Art– 17,684 subscribers
- American Museum of Natural History -13,605 subscribers
- Metropolitan Museum of Art – 4,613 subscribers
- San Diego Zoo -3,513 subscribers
- Cincinnati Zoo – 3,154 subscribers
- Monterey Bay Aquarium -2,689 subscribers
- Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History – 1,866 subscribers
- Wildlife Conservation Society -1,808 subscribers
- Georgia Aquarium – 1,494 subscribers
- Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum – 1,136 subscribers
- Columbus Zoo – 1,029 subscribers
- Saint Louis Zoo – 560 subscribers
- Shedd Aquarium – 539 subscribers
- The Henry Ford Museum – 423 subscribers
- National Aquarium– 348 subscribers
- Museum of Science and Industry – 244 subscribers
- Newport Aquarium, Cincinnati – 234 subscribers
- Children's Museum of Indianapolis – 150 subscribers
- Pheonix Zoo – 125 subscribers
- Oklahoma City Zoo – 94 subscribers
Method: How did I decide this list? Recently, 10best.com held an open, online voting competition which allowed web users to vote for their top-ten favorite zoos, aquariums, and museums. I included #1 – #5 from the list of zoo, aquarium, and museum winners. Because this competition can be easily rigged by stakeholders, I also included a few of the most visited US museums that are recognized globally (MET, MoMA, ect), and I also added the San Diego Zoo and WCS in order to represent the highest-visitation zoos. I only recorded the top two most-viewed videos for each institution to prevent one organization from dominating this list and to provide a more inclusive overview. A thing to keep in mind while viewing these videos: while YouTube views provide an indication of the spread and share of a message/video, an institution's subscribers (or, self-identified folks signing up to be kept in the loop on that organization's video happenings), indicate a higher level of evangelism than views alone. In other words, subscribers (above) are a better score-keeper for folks looking to "rank" these organizations.The following article features YouTube videos from the organizations on this list based upon this methodology- It is not inclusive of all ZAMs and does not necessarily represent the ZAMs with the most views.
Of these institutions, chosen by popular vote and visitation, here is a countdown the YouTube videos that had the most views as of Sunday, March 4th, 2012:

12. Freshwater Otter Plays the Piano at Monterey Bay Aquarium (254,925 views)

These toys and activities add variety and exercise to the animals lives and help to encourage their natural behaviors. As for Beco and his Boomer Ball that enrichment has double benefits it also helps mom Phoebe get a break from looking after 600 pounds of bouncing baby elephant energy."
9. Jell-O Enrichment for Squirrel Monkeys at the Bronx Zoo (332,503 views)

In March, Audrey, the Zoos North American river otter female, gave birth to three healthy male pups. At around 30 days old, the pups are strong enough to begin their swimming lessons although sometimes, theyre not the most enthusiastic students much like kids everywhere."

5. Cheetah Sets Record at Cincinnati Zoo (812,604 views)
"Many have asked why our cheetah only averaged 36.5 mph. This was a run based on time, not top speed. A sprinter can be faster than another but if he stumbles and doesn't finish it doesn't matter. There is a cheetah in South Africa, Zaza who will be doing the same thing in October to try to beat Sarah. The cheetahs are starting from zero, not full speed because that's how the previous time of 6.19 seconds was set. The previous rules also stated that the record was based on 3 runs, so even though we are sure Sarah can run faster we don't get a redo. People have also commented on the lure not being far enough ahead, if the lure gets to far away the cheetah will stop, not wasting energy on something it can't catch."
4. Baby Hippo Ballet at the San Diego Zoo (888,474 views)
This video is simple, organic, short, and has an outstanding number of views. The popularity of this view may illustrate that simplicity (without too many bells and whistles) can go a long way.
3. Baby Elephant Born at the San Diego Safari Park (923,340 views)

2. Science Bulletin: Whales Give Dolphins a Lift from the American Museum of Natural History (1,559,880 views)
This video is also from the American Museum of Natural History. "Many species interact in the wild, most often as predator and prey. But recent encounters between humpback whales and bottlenose dolphins reveal a playful side to interspecies interaction. In two different locations in Hawaii, scientists watched as dolphins "rode" the heads of whales: the whales lifted the dolphins up and out of the water, and then the dolphins slid back down."
1. The Known Universe by the American Museum of Natural History (9,856,645 views)
This video by the American Museum of Natural History takes viewers from the Himalayas through our atmosphere and the inky black of space to the afterglow of the Big Bang. Every star, planet, and quasar seen in the film is possible because of the world's most complete four-dimensional map of the universe, the Digital Universe Atlas that is maintained and updated by astrophysicists at the American Museum of Natural History.

The festive season just wouldn't be the same without this speciality beer whose arrival is always long-awaited. The tradition of Christmas beers is particular to northern Europe. In the years following the Second World War, the breweries used to sell an original, richer and stronger beer at the same price as year-round beers: this was their gift to their customers. The Duycks have perpetuated this custom by creating a special beer sold at the usual price. Produced with more malt than Jenlain Ambrée (3 different types of malt made from French grown barley and 3 varieties of the most aromatic hops from Alsace), this top fermented, unpasteurized beer, best served at between 6 and 8°C, has a rich amber glow, a denser head and stronger alcohol content (6.8% alcohol by volume). Darker than the traditional amber beer, its torrefied undertones are reminiscent of flowers and caramel. And the 2002 Christmas beer had a hint of orange.
Brewer: Duyck
Style: Bičre de Garde
Alcohol Content: 6.8%

Female Hungarian Vizla
8 yrs old.
My roomates friend's grandpa is too old to take care of the dog...or passed away...and his grand daughter just got the dog now. She is already committed to moving into an apartment and cannot take the dog with her.
Looking to get a nice adopted home. No fees, and the man used the dog as a hunting dog...not sure if it was waterfowl or upland game.
PM me if you are interested.
I would take the dog myself, but since I just got the puppy, I cannot justify another dog when my hands are full with summer.

Dreamworks' Flushed Away turns wastewater--a constant source of concern for public works pros like you--into entertainment. The hero of the computer-animated flick is Roddy (Hugh Jackman
As Roddy struggles to find a way back to his hoity-toity life, he lands in the slimy clutches of Toad (Ian McKellen), a nefarious amphibian plotting to lay waste to the rodentropolis so that his tadpole offspring can take over. He joins forces with Rita (Kate Winslet), the spunky captain of the boat The Jammy Dodger; she proves to be as formidable as she is fetching. But can she and Roddy outwit Toad and his toadies and make it back to the surface world in one piece?
Flushed Away is a wildly funny and entertaining flick that ably holds the attention of moviegoers aged anywhere from 5 to 55. The movie boasts an impressive roster of voice talent--Jackman, Winslet, McKellen, and Jean Reno, who plays Toad's dangerous and debonair cousin Le Frog--and the writers managed to artfully pair dry Brit wit with a more American sensibility (read: plenty of chase scenes and hits to the crotch) to come up with plenty of laugh-out-loud moments.
The true stars of the movie, though, are the animators--each scene is eye-popping, engaging, and beautiful. Fans of old-school animation might have been disappointed upon hearing that the production company famed for Wallace & Gromit turning to computer-graphic interface (CGI) instead of its customary "claymation" style, but the animators manage to bring to Flushed Away the freedom and realism associated with computer animation without losing the richness and weight that traditional animation offers.
But enough of the "Ebert & Roeper" stuff. How realistic is the movie when it comes to depicting wastewater works? Not very. For starters, Roddy travels down the pipes and lands in the midst of the bustling sewer-rat community unharmed. In reality, he would have been churned into tiny bits long before facing doom at the hands of Toad's henchmen. Similarly, a representative of wastewater plant grinders remarked at the release of a certain Disney film, "In truth, no one would ever find Nemo, and the movie would be called Grinding Nemo." However, when you're watching a movie in which mice wear trousers and frogs speak with French accents, realism isn't really the question.
The real question is, what do kids think? Judging from the long strings of giggles heard in an opening weekend audience, children should find this flick quite entertaining. One 8-year-old boy especially liked the groin-stomping fall scenes. We suggest, however, that kids should be reminded it wouldn't be a good idea to flush their pet mouse down the toilet in an effort to reunite the pet with its friends.

Is there any way to weaken JB Weld so it can be removed from metal?
I have a ESB Graflex that had the middle clamp broken (tension bar) and the three parts assembled with JB Weld but want to replace it with a repro clamp.
Should I just leave it as it is because the saber looks fine the way it is and you can't tell it was repaired but it bothers me that "I" know..

Pakistani Prime Minister Yusaf Raza Gilani survived an assassination attempt when gun men tried to shoot him while in his car. Meanwhile, the car carrying Lynne Tracy, the key American diplomat in the northwest region, was also fired upon as she drove to her office. There undoubtedly will be further attempts to kill important political figures in the Pakistan government which is confronting new conflict as a result of the collapse of its coalition government. Pakistan prosecutors said they were proceeding with investigating corruption charges against Nawaz Sharif, leader of the Pakistan Muslim League-N who made the fatal mistake of quitting the coalition government led by Asif Zardari.
Both Sharif and Zardari have been charged in the past with being guilty of corruption. As part of their agreement with former President Musharraf, the charges were suspended when they returned to Pakistan. Sharif wanted former Supreme Court justices who wee fired by Musharraf to be restored to office, but Zardari refused to do what he had promised. He fears the restored judges would investigate corruption of him so the solution was keeping them out of office.
The real question to ask of Pakistan political leaders is– can they form a government which has men and women who have previously not been charged with corruption?

University of Delaware Women Divers Close Out NCAA Zone A Diving Championships; Congdon Leads Blue Hens
Related Links
Congdon, a native of Yardley, Pa. (Pennsbury HS), placed 38th overall in the three-meter event with 203.75 points while Stockwell, a native of San Jose, Calif. (Presentation HS) posted a 44th place showing with 186.25 points.
The duo competed for the second straight day after Congdon finished 42nd and Stockwell placed 50th in the one-meter diving event on Monday. The third and final day of the meet will be held Wednesday when the platform diving competition takes place, but Delaware does not have an entry in that event.
Michaela Butler of Massachusetts won the individual women's three-meter title Tuesday while Harvard's Michael Mosca won the men's one-meter competition.
This was the second straight year that Congdon and Stockwell qualified for the meet. Congdon placed 31st in the one-meter and 36th in the three-meter event last season while Stockwell was 40th in the three-meter and 43rd in the three-meter.
Last week, Congdon placed fifth in the three-meter and sixth in the one-meter and Stockwell as sixth in the three-meter and 11th in the one-meter at the Colonial Athletic Association Championships.

Los Angeles • Shortly after they were eliminated from the NCAA gymnastics championships Friday, Utah's gymnasts spoke of all the work they needed to do in the offseason to conquer their issues on the balance beam and be a contender for the NCAA title.
As they watched Saturday's Super Six from the stands in UCLA's Pauley Pavilion, the Utes must have realized just how much work is ahead of them given the quality of the competition among the finalists.
As expected, Saturday's competition was one of the closest battles the Super Six has seen, with UCLA, Alabama, Florida and Oklahoma all having moments in which they looked like they were going to win the title.
In the end, it was Florida that came from behind to become the first team other than Georgia, Alabama or UCLA to claim the trophy.
The Gators finished with a 197.575, followed by Oklahoma (197.375), Alabama (197.35), UCLA (197.1), LSU (197.05) and Georgia (196.675).
"It has been tough the last few years because there has been a lot of scrutiny in the media why it hasn't happened, why we haven't won," Florida coach Rhonda Faehn said. "Everyone thought we would be the next team, and we thought we would be. This year we shut down everything, shut down Twitter and all the social media and just focus on what our goal is and quiet the outside."
There was nothing quiet about how the title was won.
The meet came down to the final rotation, as Alabama led with a 148.125, Florida had a 148.1 and Oklahoma had a 147.975.
UCLA had a chance to win, but eliminated itself in its last rotation, scoring just 49.1 on the vault.
Most of the pressure was on two-time defending champion Alabama, with the Tide finishing on the beam while Florida was on the bars and Oklahoma was on the floor.
Alabama succumbed to the pressure with one fall and a major break, leaving the Tide with just 49.225. Oklahoma had solid scores on the floor but just couldn't make up for lost ground, while Florida closed out a near-miraculous comeback by posting a 49.475 on the bars with the last three routines scoring 9.9 or higher.
Earlier in the evening Florida appeared to be the first of the favorites to eliminate itself when it opened on the balance beam with a fall and scored just 48.875.
Down but not out, Florida started its rally with a 49.725 on the floor. The Gators' rotation opened with a fall, but the last five gymnasts all scored 9.9 or higher to get back in the game.
The Gators carried the momentum to the vault, where they posted a 49.5, setting up the final-rotation drama.
"We had a never-give-up attitude, and we fought this whole competition," Florida's Bridget Sloan said. "Even with the mistakes, if you fight to the end you can still have a great outcome, and that is exactly what happened."
O Florida wins its first NCAA gymnastics title with a score of 197.575.
• Two-time defending champion Alabama ends up third (197.35)
• Host UCLA eliminates itself in the last rotation, scoring just 49.1 on the vault.

While many of the awards organizations are looking to honor the best and brightest in the movie industry this time of year, the Razzie Awards has selected the worst films of 2012.
And this time around it looks like the "Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2" has taken the cake with a total of 11 nods in 10 categories.
Stepping out for a promotional appearance, Seth Rogen and Barbara Streisand showed up at the big Hollywood premiere of their new flick "The Guilt Trip" last night (December 11).
The "Knocked Up" stud and his legendary Tinseltown costar looked to be having a marvelous time as they hammed it up for the paparazzi outside the Regency Village Theatre in Westwood.
Giving moviegoers another reason to look forward to the holiday season, "The Guilt Trip" just released the first clip onto the web.
Paramount Pictures' forthcoming release boasts a cast that includes Barbara Streisand, Seth Rogen, Yvonne Strahovski, Colin Hanks, and Adam Scott.

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Vendors' started by Grok, Jun 27, 2011.
Very stupid of me not to order the first time I saw this thread... Many months later I have finally done it, feels like Santa will come early this year...
Thanks Grok! Just ordered mine too!
Kept missing the orders by days & was starting to think I would never get one!
Just ordered an Xmas present to myself, reasonable postage to the UK too. Hope it comes marked as a gift, hate paying the taxman for import duty, especially with all the UK celebrities and government ministers using tax avoidance schemes lately, whats good for them is good for me.
My old Carbtune will probably be going in the bin.
Hi Grok had issue/question so sent you a pm. Thanks
I too was bumming when they went out of production.
I wasn't going to miss the opportunity again...just ordered mine.
Now I just need to convince the wife it's needed for household repairs so it comes out of "our" money as opposed to "bike" money.
Hmmm maybe "hook it up" to the furnace and tell her I'm adjusting it to save us oil?
Then you move it to the hot water heater and harmonize that.
Home stereo system would be next,
Lawn mower / blower / edger / weedeater. (have them all running at idle by the garage door with the harmonizer moving from 1 to another with a small flatblade screwdriver)
You get the idea.
These all have worked for me over the 32 years and counting that my wife has been allowing.... yes allowing me to put on a show to entertain her, thinking I was actually getting away with something.
But honey.... we.............we NEED this !
The slow cooker didn't seem to be working up to snuff...clearly needs to be Harmonized!
I also figured that I could save a ton of money by Harmonizing the dishwasher to remove those stubborn spots!
And don't forget the Washer / Dryer combo in the wash room. The Harmonizer will take care of that vibration from unbalanced loads......
Apparently.... my wife does not agree with your ideas... but I already have a harmonizer in the garage so no need to worry! We both had a good laugh though!
how can I get around this problem? I tried 3 times to order and no go???? What gives.
PM sent.
If anyone else is having this problem please let me know!
What kind of problem is it,
Paypal error message 3005 when trying to pay with Visa.
I think Harmonizer is also a good tool for relationships harmonization... Happy man mean also a happy wife :)
Ok now I can harmonize my Commando
I put the order through and it stuck.
Thanks Grok,
Just received my harmonizer --- can't wait to start checking TB balance. Thanks Grok.
Mine came in today also. Thanks for everything GROK !
Good Thanksgiving Day everyone.
My only complaint is it works so well I only used it for five minutes total. Nd that was balancing two bikes .

That just helped balance you out, Moots...getting stung in both the front and back of the head helped it to swell equally in both directions...Einstein proved this in one of his equal and opposite brainstorming sessions...to you it looks like it's a little puffy...though you're oblivious to the fact, to folks that you meet on the street your head reminds them of H.R.

Senate Prepares to Renew Jobless Benefits
Apr 01, 2014
By Neil Ridley
Update: The Senate passed a temporary extension of federal unemployment benefits on Monday, April 7.
This week, the Senate is expected to pass a five-month extension of federal unemployment benefits, which lapsed at the end of 2013 when Congress failed to renew the program. Since December 2013, more than 2 million jobless workers have been cut off from benefits—deprived of a critical lifeline while they search for work in what is still a tough job market.
Even though the national unemployment rate has dropped below 7 percent, long-term unemployment remains persistently high—a disturbing aftereffect of the Great Recession. In February 2014, 37 percent of jobless workers—3.8 million people—had been out of work for 6 months or more. Studies show that the longer workers are unemployed, the more difficult it is for them to find work. One recent study finds that long-term unemployment remains at historically high levels and employment transitions remain challenging, even in states with low unemployment rates.
Unemployment benefits are not only one of the first lines of defense in a weak economy, but also a proven anti-poverty strategy. Census data show that unemployment benefits kept 1.7 million people above the poverty line in 2012, even as workers faced a reduction in the number of weeks of federal benefits.
The Senate bill includes two notable policy changes. First, it eliminates unemployment insurance benefit payments for individuals whose adjusted gross income in the preceding year reached $1 million or more. Second, it authorizes intensive assessments and reemployment services for long-term jobless workers.
When the Senate approves the extension later this week, the scene of action will turn to the House of Representatives. It will be up to House members to restore and maintain current unemployment benefits for workers who need additional assistance while they look for jobs in a slowly recovering economy.

Hi All
Im looking for some help and advise on what to use for and where to get all the greeblies for the ROJ gauntlets that I am working on.
I am in the UK so if any UK fetts can recommend UK sources that would be great as Im trying to keep costs down and would like to avoid to many shipping costs if I can.
I think I have identified all of the parts I need, here is what I think I need:-
Left Gauntlet
Key pad
Detail part
2 push Switches
Flame thrower/laser barrels
Right Gauntlet
2 toggle switches
4 darts
2 Things to connect the hoses to (not sure what to call these)
As far as I can see thats all the bits but please let me know if Ive missed anything.
I think I have found a place to get the toggle switches from but they have several sizes and Im not to sure which ones would be best?:-
The same site also has push switches but again Im not to sure on what size to get?
From searching here I have found out that the Key pad is from a MQ-1 calculator and the detail part on the left gauntlet is a dental expander (what ever that is!) but from what Im reading they are both hard to find. Dose anyone know where I can get replicas from? Ive seen threads where people have them but have not been able to find any for sale.
Also Id like to know where I could get all of the other parts from or if its possible to build them with parts from hardware stores?
Im sure with all the knowledgeable and helpful people Ill be able to find all I need.

Arsenal Ladies defender and star of Team GB, Steph Houghton, was on hand last week to lend her support to an initiative encouraged at getting more girls involved in football.
Using the backdrop of the Olympic Games, which saw interest in the women's game reach unprecedented levels, the versatile left back joined former FA head of elite development, Gareth Southgate, and Sky Sports News presenter, Charlotte Jackson, to launch the npower Football League Girls' Cup - a national six-a-side tournament for under-13 girls that culminates in a final played at Wembley Stadium next year.
New research from the Football League sponsors highlighted that the Olympics had had a positive impact on young girls in the UK, with football one of the top three sports that they would like to try following London 2012. One in four girls, meanwhile, aged six to 13 said that they watched the Team GB women's team compete.
The increased appetite for football is backed at an adult level too. In recent research from the Women's Sport and Fitness Foundation (WSFF), it was revealed that over 90,000 women in the UK say they would like to play more football.
Speaking about her involvement in the initiative, Houghton said:
"From a very young age all I wanted to do was play football and I was lucky enough to be given the opportunities to get right to the top of the game. This summer I've played in front of some of the best attended women's games of all time at a home Olympics, but I couldn't have done that if there wasn't time invested in me at an early stage.
"This is why I'm so supportive of this competition as it gives young girls the opportunity to play in a competitive but enjoyable atmosphere. If my experiences in the Olympics inspires even one girl to pick up a football and play, then that will match any other achievement in my career."

Section 26 of the Taxpayer's Relief Act of 1997—codified into Section 1397E of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code—provides a financial tool that can be used by State Education Agencies to encourage formation of partnerships between public schools and local businesses. The Act provided $400 million of bond authority cap in 1998 through 2008 and $1.4 billion for 2009 and 2010 and $400 million from 2011 - 2016 for issuance of Qualified Zone Academy Bonds (QZAB's). These partnerships with local businesses are to:
In addition
QZAB's are an unusual financial instrument that provide a different form of subsidy from traditional tax-exempt bonds that school districts or public charter schools might issue. Under this program, the State receives an allocation from the US Department of Education, the Internal Revenue Service or the Rural Housing Service of the U.S. Department of Agriculture. School districts seek an allocation from the State in the amount of a loan that they pay back over several years. A local financial institution purchases the bond; the interest on the bond may be "paid" by the federal government in the form of annual income tax credits to the financial institution that holds the bond, and for 2009 and 2010, the Act allowed direct subsidy payment to be made to the issuer. The amount of the direct subsidy payment to the issuer is equal to the lesser of:

Administrative, Procedural and Miscellaneous information from the IRS on QZAB allocations is available at the link below:
2016 QZAB Allocations
A memorandum from Chapman and Cutler LLP with additional QZAB information is available below.
There is one requirement for QZABs that may "make or break" your decision to this sort of interest-reduced bond funding: the QZABs require that the project for which the bond proceeds are used must comply with the Davis Bacon Fair Labor Standards Act. That is, you are required to pay prevailing union-level wages to all workers participating in projects funded with the QZAB funding.
Section 1601 of Division B of ARRA specifies that five specific tax-favored bond programs, including QZABs, are subject to Davis-Bacon prevailing wage standards. On May 5, 2010, the U.S. Department of Labor issued a memorandum that highlights the responsibilities of State and local government entities, contractors, and others for implementation of, and compliance with, the Davis-Bacon labor standards in connection with the identified ARRA bond projects. Questions regarding the applicability of the Davis-Bacon Act to a specific QZAB project may also be directed to the Department of Labor at whdarra[at]dol[dot]gov(whdarra@dol[dot]gov).
The Davis-Bacon Wage Determination by State website that may help you estimate your wage/benefits labor costs if you use the QZAB bond funding process for building construction. Select "Utah" from the criteria, then on the county in which your construction project is located. Select "Building" from the "Construction Type" to estimate your hourly wage rates and additional fringe (benefit) costs for various laborers.
The U.S. Department of Labor has affirmed that a project partially funded with QSCB/QZAB funds results in the entire project falling under the requirements of the Davis-Bacon Act.

On March 18, 2010, the President signed the Hiring Incentives to Restore Employment Act (Public Law 111-147). This legislation gives bond issuers the option of issuing QSCBs and QZABs as bonds under which an issuer may receive a cash subsidy from the Federal Government as opposed to providing bondholders with a tax credit. Issuers of QSCBs and QZABs that elect to receive the direct payment will receive payments equal to the lesser of the actual interest rate of the bonds on each interest payment date or the tax credit rate set daily by the U.S. Department of the Treasury for municipal tax credit bonds. Further information about these direct payments may be found in the IRS Notice 2010-35.

Hello lady's, my girlfriend has expressed an interest in deer hunting and I'm just curious what you may be using. Particularly if you chose it yourself.
She has plenty of experience shooting rifles, she has shot competitively with .22 and small bore bench rest, but she is shy of recoil. She has no issue with a 12 gauge shotgun but is hesitant to try either of my deer rifles, a .32 special and .30-06 I suspect part of the issue may be muzzle blast as the .32 in particular is mild mannered as far as recoil is concerned but is extremely loud with its short barrel.
I'm thinking something along the lines of a Remington model 7 in 7mm-08 may be a good choice and would allow her to use the same rifle for moose if she ever got drawn. While still be gentle on the shoulder and pleasent to carry.
Thoughts opinions and suggestions welcome

Posts Tagged 'X Factor'
December 9th, 20110
A few things are coming to an end this week, it's the final of X Factor this weekend, it's become part of our lives in the last 3 months, and even if you aren't a fan it's been difficult to ignore. The rating wars with Strictly, all the controversy about backstage bullying and bickering judges have made the news – daily. Strictly Come Dancing finishes next week also. No more glitz and glamour and Paso Dobles, what are we going to do with our Saturday nights now? Well, there are always Christmas cards to write, or you could do a bit of last minute Christmas shopping online.
Bravissimo are saying goodbye to a few old favourites, we are discontinuing some styles of lingerie, so if you have your eye on one of these for yourself, or for a Christmas present then be quick as once they're gone, they're gone.
The stunning satin Tiffany Basque by Masquerade is available in black and ivory, the bodice is boned creating an amazing curvaceous shape and it is underwired and lightly padded and can be worn with or without straps.
The Miracle Body by Ultimo is so smooth, it is super comfortable to wear and creates a lovely silhouette. It has a thong back and the straps works in three different positions, so you can wear with a backless dress or top.
We are sad to see the Broderie Bra by Bravissimo go, as it's such a pretty bra, it comes in black, white, violet, cornflower and apricot, so you have a colour for every day of the week. This bra is an underwired balconette and is made from lovely lace embroidery with threaded with organza ribbon. This would make a fantastic Christmas present with the matching shorts and thong.
The Ariza Bra by Panache comes in gorgeous delicate embroidery, it gives fabulous shape and support and is an underwired balconette. It is available in black, blush, peach, white, poppy/red, and midnight/pink.
The Rio Bra by Freya has been a very popular bra with our Bravissimo ladies. It is a simple supportive bra and has been used in our stores for our customers first fitting as it gives a lovely rounded shape. It's a great every day bra and is available in black, white and nude.
So it is goodbye for now old friends and thanks for your support!

Press Release – 31.05.2011
Azerbaijani version
Council of Europe's Anti-Racism Commission publishes new report on Azerbaijan
Strasbourg, 31.05.2011 – The European Commission against Racism and Intolerance (ECRI) today published a new report on Azerbaijan. ECRI's Chair, Nils Muiznieks, said that, while there have been improvements, there are still concerns in some areas, such as the situation of unregistered religious groups and of persons seeking international protection.
To simplify administrative procedures affecting migrant workers, a State Migration Service has been established and a one-stop service point for migrants has been set up. The authorities are also drawing up a Migration Code to consolidate the relevant legislation. Measures have been taken to improve refugees' access to social rights and the authorities have begun working to remedy problems faced by stateless persons. Significant efforts have been made in recent years to improve the living conditions of displaced persons, as well as their access to other social rights. The authorities have also taken steps towards improving access to health care for persons belonging to vulnerable groups.
At the same time, some restrictive provisions and practices with respect to religious communities have been tightened and religious communities whose applications for re-registration are still pending are exposed to arbitrary treatment. There are reports of abuse by law-enforcement officials against members of minority groups and there should be an independent mechanism for dealing with complaints against the police.
The rate of recognition of refugees is extremely low and no subsidiary form of protection is recognised in Azerbaijani law, leaving many persons who need it in a precarious situation. Migrant workers remain vulnerable to illegal employment practices and serious forms of abuse. Further measures are needed to remedy the difficulties faced by displaced persons in daily life. Finally, anti-discrimination legislation remains little known and rarely used, and the application of provisions of the Criminal Code regarding national security and the prohibition of ethnic hostility remains a concern.
In its report, ECRI has made a number of recommendations, among which the following three require priority implementation and will be revisited in two years' time:
The report, including Government observations, is available here. It was prepared following ECRI's contact visit to Azerbaijan in September 2010 [Press Release – 05.10.2010] and takes account of developments up to December 2010.
ECRI is a human rights body of the Council of Europe, composed of independent experts, which monitors problems of racism, discrimination on grounds of ethnic origin, citizenship, religion and language, as well as xenophobia, antisemitism and intolerance, prepares reports and issues recommendations to member States.

You can't fix stupid.
I was at the gun shop about two month ago when this guy comes in there with a Springfield Armory loaded & said he wanted to sell this piece of junk. he said some other things I had to leave because he was makeing me mad because of what he was sayng about the gun. any way I waited until he left & went back in there & ask Mike what was wrong with that guy. he said he bought it used & try to shoot it & no matter what it jam. I said that don't sound right . he said I know he said I try to work with the guy to try to fix it. the guy said no give me whatever you think it worth I don't care I don't want it any more. any way I went back about a week later & ask what was wrong with the gun. he said first I called Springfield Armory to see what year it was made they told him it was made in 1996 then he took it apart & found that the extractor was wore out he replaced it & the recoil spring because it felt weak to him took it to the range & it run fine he said it look like somebody a loaded round into the chamber & then slam the slide on the round causing the extractor to wear out. the moral of this story is if you buy a used & it don't run like it should take it to a gunsmith first. I know there are some gun you just can't fix but that used gun you bought might become the best gun you ever own.
You can't fix stupid.
Some people expect to get a Rools Royce but only want to pay for a Yugo. Then complain when it is not perfect. They will be with us always and sometimes we can get a good deal from these idiots
Seems to me, with any gun purchase (new or used), you pull it apart, clean & inspect it.
Hell, it's amazing how many "problems" can be fixed with a thorough cleaning. Sorry, a bore snake is not a substitute for a proper cleaning now and again.
To bad he sold it before I got a chance to get it oh well that the way it goes sometimes you win some you lose some.
