Atlantic Hockey Quarterfinal Series
Dates: March 15-17, 2013
Time: 9:05 p.m. ET
Location: USAF Academy, Colo.
Rink: Cadet Ice Arena
After earning a two-game sweep against Bentley last weekend, the seventh-seeded Canisius College hockey team travels to face No. 2 Air Force in the Atlantic Hockey Quarterfinals. The teams are set to meet on Friday, Saturday and Sunday (If necessary) at 9:05 p.m. ET.
• Canisius finished the regular-season in seventh place in the Atlantic Hockey standings with a 12-13-2 mark. The Griffs are 15-18-5 overall.
• Last weekend, the Griffs swept 10th-seeded Bentley in a best 2-of-3 series, earning a 4-0 win in the opener and 2-1 win in the finale.
• Junior Kyle Gibbons continues to lead the Griffs offense. Posting multiple points in four-straight games, he has a team-best 34 points, 16 goals and 18 assists.
• Junior Tony Capobianco has anchored the nation's 11th-ranked defense with a 2.31 goals against average and .929 save percentage.
• All four home teams, including Canisius, won last week as the Griffs now advance to play second-seeded Air Force.
• In addition, all four western pod teams were victorious, leaving six western teams remaining and just two eastern squads.
• During the regular season, Air Force was 2-0-1 against Canisius with all three games coming down to the final minutes.
• The four advancing teams in the Atlantic Hockey Quarterfinals will be reseeded next weekend for the league's semifinals in Rochester.
• Canisius is entering the weekend playing its best hockey of the year.
• The Griffs have won their last four games with their first-ever sweep of RIT to earn home ice and following with the sweep of Bentley.
• The four-game winning streak is the longest for the team since also winning four-straight from Feb. 20 to Feb. 28, 2004.
• Tony Capobianco carried his superb regular season into the postseason and was rewarded with AHA Goaltender of the Week honors.
• Making his postseason debut last weekend, Capobianco stopped 70-of-71 shots that he faced, posting a .986 save percentage.
• Friday's shutout was just the third in the school's postseason history.
• Tony Capobianco not only led the Griffs to a pair of wins last week, but also set two school records.
• Capobianco now has 1,055 saves this season, surpassing the previous record of 993 held by Dan Morrison (2010-11).
• The junior also recorded his fourth shutout of the season, breaking a tie he shared with five other goalies.
• Air Force is 9-5-7 all-time against Canisius, including a 4-3-4 edge in Colorado.
• The Falcons are unbeaten in their last 10 games with the Griffs, going 5-0-5 during that span.
• Despite not earning a win in the last 10 meetings against Air Force, the series has been very competitive and close. Of the last 14 games between the two schools, the teams have either played to a draw or a one-goal game (not including empty-netters) 11 times.
• Air Force was 2-0-1 against Canisius this season. The teams battled to a 1-1 draw in Buffalo in October before the Falcons swept a pair of games at home in February (3-1 and 3-2).
• The 3-2 loss in the finale marked the only time in the last three seasons that Canisius lost a game when holding a lead at the second intermission.
• The schools are meeting for the first time in the postseason.
• Air Force finished second in the Atlantic Hockey standings thanks to a strong finish to the season. The Falcons went 11-2-3 in their last 16 games to finish with a 15-7-5 league record and a 17-11-7 overall mark.
• The Falcons have won the last two Atlantic Hockey Championships and five of the last six.
• Kyle De Laurell leads the Falcons with 33 points on 18 goals and 15 assists. Stephen Carew (11g, 16a) and Tony Thomas (9g, 18a) rank second on the team with 27 points.
• Jason Torf has appeared in all 35 games for the team, posting a 2.26 goals against average and .921 save percentage.

Tires my not be the most glamorous equipment in a warehouse, but they literally keep our industry rolling. Priced at hundreds of dollars each, tires and their maintenance make up the producer's highest variable delivery cost after fuel and wages.
Last year at this time, producers were more concerned about availability than price. Impending new EPA regulations inspired a truck-buying spree before the end of 2006, which made tires scarce. The Rubber Manufacturers Association (RMA) expects a resulting decrease in commercial truck sales this year.
Shipments of original equipment tires will be 1.4 million units, or 21%, lower than in 2006, RMA projects. Replacement tire, or retread, shipments should remain essentially the same.
The same is not true for tire prices. Depending on size and tread, producers can pay anywhere from $250 to $600 per tire. And this will soon increase. Citing rising raw materials costs, the top three tire manufacturers—Bridgestone, Michelin, and Goodyear—all recently announced 4-5% price increases. Along with the increasing price of natural rubber, tires are affected by the same material price increases already affecting concrete producers: oil and steel.
Tire makers have tried using alternative ingredients, like synthetic rubber in place of natural rubber, in an attempt to offset rising costs. But this has drawbacks because synthetic rubber is petroleum-based and susceptible to rising oil costs. It also applies mostly to consumer tires because large commercial trucks require natural rubber content for durability and to resist temperature fluctuations.
Treading along
Most concrete producers already avoid the high cost of new tires by using retreads. "Having a good retread program is the key to saving money and avoiding back-order situations for specialty tires," says Kevin Rohlwing, senior vice president of training for the Tire Industry Association (TIA).
Rohlwing speaks from experience, having grown up in his family's tire business near Chicago. After monitoring tire usage in construction, farming, and other industries, he considers ready-mix trucks perfectly suited for retreads. Since the trucks make small, short runs and return to the plant regularly for cleaning and inspection, a driver can discover damage quickly and remove tires in time to salvage them.
Tire industry executives emphasize fundamentals for keeping costs in line. "There's no substitute for a good maintenance program," says David Laubie, vice president of sales engineering for Bridgestone/Firestone North American Tire. Laubie is also vice chairman of the Tire and Wheel Study Group for the Technology and Maintenance Council of the American Trucking Association (ATA).
"The rate of wear on mixer truck tires can be very high, so following a regular maintenance schedule is the best thing you can do," says Laubie. He prescribes simple measures, like making sure the right tires are applied to the correct wheel position, maintaining the correct air pressure needed to carry your load, checking tread depth to verify pull points, and watching for cuts, bruises, or exposed steel that could cause the tire to be permanently removed and lost for retreading.
For more information about tire maintenance programs, visit the ATA atwww.trucking.orgor the TIA atwww.tireindustry.org.

PROVIDENCE, R.I. – Rhode Island Gov. Lincoln D. Chafee today announced a formal partnership between the Rhode Island Economic Development Corporation and Roger Williams University to provide business support and other community revitalization efforts within the state's core urban communities. The partnership was celebrated at a State House event today attended by Gov. Chafee, University President Donald J. Farish, Providence Mayor Angel Taveras, Woonsocket Mayor Leo Fontaine and Paul McGreevy, special assistant to the governor at RIEDC.
"A key economic development priority of my administration is the revitalization of Rhode Island's urban communities, especially our main streets in Providence, Woonsocket, Pawtucket, Central Falls and West Warwick," Governor Chafee said. "By engaging our educational institutions, we can begin to more actively utilize the skills and expertise of the excellent educational institutions within Rhode Island and also tap into the bright minds of our students for the good of the state's economy."
Providence and Woonsocket are the cities selected for pilot programs for RIEDC and the Community Partnerships Center at Roger Williams University, with a focus on revitalization efforts on Broad Street in the South Providence and Elmwood neighborhoods as well as Downtown Woonsocket along Main Street. For the RWU students engaged in these neighborhoods, the experience will provide a setting in which they gain "real-world" technical experience through ongoing curriculum-based projects.
"The opportunity to partner on these revitalization projects illustrates precisely what we intended when we launched the Community Partnerships Center," President Farish said. "For local leaders in these communities, it means expertise and assistance in solving critical issues; for our students, it means engagement in real-world projects with the chance to build relationships and gain job-ready skills that will distinguish them in the eyes of future employers."
At the State House event, Mayor Taveras cited the University's support in helping to Providence and cities in Rhode Island on community and economic development projects.
"The City of Providence is delighted to take part in this initiative, partnering students with government and nonprofit agencies to provide free technical assistance to the business owners along Broad Street," Mayor Taveras said. "Our small businesses are the backbone of our economy, providing jobs for residents, services and goods for the community, and quality of life to our neighborhoods. This program – the first of its kind in Rhode Island – will give students hands-on learning experience while supporting the hard work of these small businesses."
Mayor Fontaine noted the importance of project's timing, coming during an economic climate that has forced cities and towns to cut the types of funding that often drive revitalization and community development work.
"I am very grateful to Roger Williams University for providing the City of Woonsocket with this extraordinary opportunity to benefit from the expertise and energy of its faculty and students," Mayor Fontaine said. "The City has put in place a broad and deep cooperative effort with dedicated organizational partners and active community involvement to deal with the many discrete challenges posed by our Main Street area.
"We have relied upon several outside sources of help, and I am pleased that this step with Roger Williams is potentially the longest term and most in-depth partnership to date. My administration is determined not to have any more studies on the shelf – we are looking to take concrete actions supported by good thinking, and thus, this practical involvement on the part of Roger Williams is invaluable and essential."
Work is currently underway in both cities, with students from the Mario J. Gabelli School of Business at Roger Williams University reaching out to local business owners on Broad Street in Providence and students from the University's historic preservation, community development and business programs engaged in the Main Street area of Downtown Woonsocket.

Great review Cliff, and I agree with your score that this camera deserves.
Lately, I don't understand the trend of using "1/2.3" sensors for most of the new P&S Cameras, every new camera that is being interduced in the photography market had also increased their pixel counts but the sensor remains small. Many of these manufactures are top companies like Pentax, Sony, Canon, Nikon, etc.... They do realized that smaller senor size and increase mega pixel counts = more noise and lower quality images.
I wonder, if it cost more for these companies to produce cameras that use larger CCD/CMOS sensors and keep the pixels at around 10 to 12 Meg?
As consumers, can we get a good P&S cameras that works reasonably well in dark conditions without too much noise?
@Cliff Smith - Sorry if this is a bit off topic, but I didn't know where else to post it...and I would greatly appreciate it if you took the time to answer these questions.
When will you be reviewing Sony's NEX-3 and NEX-5? And what about Fujifilm's new HS10, and Samsung's EX1, any plans on reviewing them anytime soon?? Just a few models I would like to get your opinion on..(I'm interested in versatile cameras with articulated monitors that produce great quality images)
BTW, how would you compare the image quality between a Panasonic DMC-GH1 and a Canon Powershot G11?? (I know they're not in the same category at all, that's why I'm asking)
Have a good one!!
@money - I'd love to see an affordable superzoom with a bigger sensor and better low light performance too but I suspect manufacturers steer clear of this to avoid cannibalizing DSLR sales - same reason they usually only come with a weedy built-in flash and no hotshoe.
Epic - As I understand it, there are 2 main reasons these bridge cameras have smaller sensors. One is cost, since more small sensors can be made on one wafer. Secondly its because smaller sensors need relatively small lenses to focus the image onto them, and as you increase the surface area of the chip you'll need to increase the size of the lens setup in order to throw a bigger image onto the sensor.
Or something.
What superzooms and bridge cameras need is:
A larger sensor with a lower pixel count
A hot shoe OR synch lead socket for studio/external flash
A screw on filter ability. Adding an ND or Polarising filter makes a huge difference to the final image.
Better quality optics
BUT few manufacturers will embrace these needs preferring to offer fripperies to attract the casual user.
I use my ancient Olypmus SP 510UZ for semi pro illustrations in a modeller magazine. Mostly it works fine at the lowest ISO rating and working at the 'macro' end of its lens range. The lens chromatic aberrations mean that judicious cropping is needed.
I have looked at a DSLR, 4:3rds or hybrid to replace the super-zoom but so far the cost/return ratio is too steep and the results are not a huge stride on from those I am currently getting.
I would take on another superzoom as they offer me the best all-round performance without needing to carry around an entire camera store of lenses and accessories to grab a small number of different shots.
Without a hot shoe/external synch socket and the lack of a screw-on filter ability the Pentax X-90 is another failure in an increasingly long list.
Driver - I ended up buying an FZ38 & am really please with it. There are filters & teleconverters available for it, and the lens is pretty good too. No hotshoe though, but for £230 you can't really go too far wrong.

Thousands of Swedish demonstrators protested against allowing their national tennis team to compete with athletes from Israel. The match held in Malmo witnessed demonstrators protesting what they viewed at Israeli brutality in the invasion of Gaza and urged that any matches be cancelled with a government they considered to violate democratic principles. They were able to have the match played behind closed doors which pleased those in charge of the demonstration.
The Israel invasion of Gaza was a response at of all proportion to the issue of rockets hitting their nation. But, over 6,000 rockets from Gaza did hit Israel, certainly not a minor issue. This writer would like to know why these demonstrators against oppression remain silent when 300,000 have been killed in Darfur and thousands of women raped. Why do these demonstrators against oppression get upset at the 60,000 killed in Uganda or the thousands now dead in Zimbabwe. Of course, if they really were interested in fighting oppression they would be shouting in fury at the death of FIVE MILLION PEOPLE IN CONGO. This writer welcomes a response to my questions by those who only believe Israel is the main culprit in the world. Their "selective anger against oppression" is the ultimate in hypocrisy.
Israel has blundered and made terrible mistakes in its policy toward Palestinians, but it still remains THE ONLY NATION IN THE MIDDLE EAST WHICH ALLOWS MUSLIMS FREEDOM OF SPEECH, PRESS AND ELECTION TO PUBLIC OFFICE.
P.S. The Israelis pulled an upset against Sweden in the David Cup

AMEX charges 2.7% for every transaction and Citbank charges 3%. Is there any way to avoid these charges? What if I carry a credit on the card (by paying more on the monthly statement beyond what I owe them)?
AMEX charges 2.7% for every transaction and Citbank charges 3%. Is there any way to avoid these charges? What if I carry a credit on the card (by paying more on the monthly statement beyond what I owe them)?
Use your debit card instead.
Use Discover when possible.
From their site
And I know ChrisMD hates discover, but it is my preferred card after 25 years of usage I have never had a problem with them and they have been on top of some fraudulent transactions faster than any other card I have used. Only problem is they aren't as widely accepted. I think capital one also has a MC/Visa with no fees. I need to double check since I head to Italy next month.Will I be charged a transaction fee when I make a purchase in a foreign currency using my Discover card?
No, Discover does not charge a foreign currency fee.
How will foreign transactions appear on my statement?
When you make a purchase in a foreign currency, there will be a two-line description of the card transaction on your statement:
Line 1 includes:
-Name and location of the merchant
-Amount of transaction in U.S. dollars
Line 2 includes:
-The amount of the transaction in the foreign currency
-The rate of exchange used to convert the card sale into U.S. Dollars
* The exchange rate is the published rate on the processing date, which is the date the transaction was received by Discover card.
capital one also has no fees
Unless you have certain cards that have no international fees (captial one, amex platinum) I think your best bet is to change money before leaving. Go to your bank and order some of the foreign currency you need.
Debit card will hit you for a high fee as well, I believe my BoA one hit me for 3% and that was the last time I used it overseas. ATM fees are usually extortionist unless you are with a 'partner' bank but usually get a foreign currency fee of ~1%. BoA has a partnership with Barclays in the UK which allows you to use their ATMs but you'll pay a small fee each time- far lower than the rates you were describing.
Call your bank, ask them how to minimize your fees while traveling.

Capital One is a no-brainer. There are banks and credit unions out there that don't whack you for overseas ATM fees. I guarantee you that Bank of America is not one of those banks. I usually do international travel with a couple one hundred dollar bills as emergency money, use a Capital One credit card everywhere that will take it, and use my ATM card at a real brick & mortar bank ATM machine to get cash.
All Penfed cards do not have international transaction fees.

In reality, the 2.7% foreign transaction fee isn't that bad. Now, if you are going to be gone for several weeks and this is coming from your pocket, I would be looking at ways to minimize the risk as well.
Look at it this way, changing money in country carries about the same fee (give or take). But like a previous poster said, carrying large sums of money is never a good idea...particularly in countries where customs can be a little "hands-on."
OP, where are you going?
Visa all the way. Don't trust any gypsies within arms reach.
Capital One.
I don't recommend them for much but this is one case that I definitely do.
I'm a Penfed member so I just use my accounts with them... Where are you going?
When I went to Australia I had a Bank of America checking account... I could use any WestPAC ATM to withdrawal directly from my account with no fees.
minimize credit card fees by minimizing credit card use
and use the cards above that don't charge fees
I usually take a bit of cash and use the credit cards mainly for hotels ( some chance of recourse if frauded) and air tickets but don't use if for the small stuff (higher chances of fraud from small stores, etc.)
I used to bring travelers checks also but have since stopped doing that...........
my deal is don't put all your eggs on a credit card while traveling it's worked for me,
but may not work for others
Some suggestions:
-There are credit cards geared towards travelers with no (or minimal) foreign transaction fees. Talk to your bank and credit card company and see if they offer any other products that might better suit a traveler. SIDENOTE: If you intend on using your credit card, call your CC company ahead of time to let them know you're traveling. If you don't, they may think your card is stolen and deny your charges.
-Another option is to purchase travelers checks upfront, and cash them when you arrive at your destination. Depending on where you cash them, you may still pay a "hidden" fee in the form of poorer exchange rates. In my experience, airport currency exchanges tend to have worse rates. I've had good luck at multi-national banks and hotels.
-Final option is to call your debit card company, and see if you can withdraw cash as you need it from foreign ATMs. I've done this when traveling to Mexico. Exchange rate was good, and my debit card didn't charge foreign transaction fees. When I travelled to Japan, however, I couldn't get my debit card to work. Same as a credit card tho, you need to call your card issuer before you travel to let them know.

If you absolutely want or need to go the local currency route, then I've heard AAA has a currency exchange system.
I generally try to use my credit or debit card when traveling. But I will usually carry a few traveler's checks as back-up just in case my cards don't work. If I wind up not needing them, I just return them to my bank when I get home.
In my experience traveling through Europe, Africa, and Asia most places don't operate on plastic nearly as much as the us. With the exception of large ticket items such as hotel charges, and shopping in large department stores most places are still very much a cash based economy. On my first trip to Europe I purchased many travelers checks, but in practice I found few places that it was convenient to spend or cash them.
When I travel now I usually just hit ATMs periodically and withdraw $3-500 at a time. I have many tactics to keep my money close to me such as money belts, and never keeping a wallet in a accessible pocket. My bank charges a $4 fee plus whatever fee the ATM charges, however I find that the exchange rate is either comparable or a bit better then what a currency exchange place charges. In the end it balances out.
I'm not sure what the current international fees are for using credit but 2-3% seems nominal. My one strong advise is never to use a debit card when making a international purchase. Having a card directly linked to your bank account is a really bad idea. I have had two friends who have become the victim of fraud from doing this, and while they both were ultimately refunded it was an ordeal, and in one case it meant my friends account was frozen leaving him broke until he could have money wired.
Credit card companies will react much faster when it is their money being stolen.
Just my $.02.
Safe travels.
amex platinum + schwab bank card (w/ visa feature) works everywhere.
cap 1 card sits in my drawer because their limit blows
Why is the limit low on the cap one? And how much do you need? Most of mycards have 5-10k limit. I never come anywhere close to using any of that. I had a cap one with a 30 k limit, but never used it and it got closed for inactivity. Wis I had been paying attention, not that it really matters, Id never use that kind of limit now anyway, but when 0% no transfer fee offers were available it was nice to have.
Chase Hyatt card also has no foreign trans fee. Headed to Rome tomorrow!!

so it doesnt make sense with respect to my credit history and credit worthiness. ive tried requesting limit increase online -- no dice. its only ever gone from 1500 to 2500 to 4000.
4k is less than 1 roundtrip ticket in business class, keep in mind. or buy an employee dinner, or a gadget on vacation with a few nights stays, you skirt dangerously close to the limit. so why bother? also nothing, while its not true today, it was when i had actively used it: the damn website used to shutdown every sunday for maintenance!!!!!! in the 21st century!!! they shut it down once a week!! what a joke
Ended up putting some USD on a Travelex Cash card. Still have some left over but I'd rather leave it there (card good for 4 years) - no reason to cash out with the exchange rate being so bad now.
Will look into Cap One and/or Discover cards for future travel.
Speaking of avoiding exchange fees, have you guys seen this?

Jens Stoltenberg, prime minister of Norway, is reacting to eight years of failed Bush leadership by urging the newly elected president to assume the fight to restore America's position in the world as a moral leader. He emphasized his nation wishes to cooperate with the new leader of America, but he also made clear: "we expect the USA to take the international lead on important issues, on the basis of dialogue and cooperation. In order o handle the major global challenges facing us, we need joint solutions. this is true for the financial crisis, the climate policy, the fight against poverty and our efforts for peace and security."
Most nations of the world want to end the Bush unilateral approach to dealing with major issues. Bush enjoyed being the person who created problems and then sought assistance from other nations in order to clean up his mess. The world is tired of such attitudes toward problems and wants joint cooperation in identifying the best path to solve problems.

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. - The University of North Carolina track and field teams finished the final day of the Dick Taylor Invitational with 12 first-place or top-collegiate performances, including a new record by Cameron Overstreet in the women's pole vault to rank her among the nation's best.
Overstreet earned a new personal best as she cleared a height of 13-5 ¼ (4.10 meters). The mark granted her the win and ranks in the top five in the country as of the conclusion of competition today.
Roy Smith and Devon Carter went one-two in the men's 60-meter hurdles, with Smith taking first in 8.09 and Carter second in 8.13. Jasmine Wilson won the women's 60-meter hurdles in 8.89.
Joe Hutchinson and Chadd Pierce complete the final three events of the heptathlon. Hutchinson placed second with 5,008 points and Pierce fourth with 4,934 points.
The Tar Heel women swept the top three spots for the triple jump with Tristine Johnson as the victor with a distance of 40-6 ¾ (12.36 meters). Chrishawn Williams placed second in 40-5 (12.33 meters) followed by Briana Hudson in third at 39-11 ½ (12.18 meters). Daisaun White placed third in the men's triple jump by reaching 44-8 (13.61 meters).
Sarah Howard made her collegiate throwing debut, placing second in the women's shot put with a throw of 50-1 ¾ (15.28 meters). Kayla Adams placed third with a throw of 45-5 ¼ (13.85 meters).
AJ Hicks won the men's shot put with a hurl of 53-1 ¾ (16.20 meters). Hicks bested his closest competitor by nearly two feet.
Dylan Moore was the top collegiate in the men's high jump as he cleared 6-10 ¾ (2.10 meters). Philip Morris was the second-best collegiate in the high jump clearing 6-4 ¾ (1.95 meters).
Carolina's distance runners accounted for four top-ranked finishes in the collegiate placing for the men and women's mile and 800. Annie LeHardy won the women's mile in 4:58.77 as Matthew Valeriani was the men's top collegiate in the mile with a time of 4:21.15.
Other top finishes in the women's mile include Kylie McCoy in second (5:13.77), Sami Joregensen in third (5:15.00), Caroline O'Hea in fourth (5:16.24), and Aundrea Holmes in fifth (5:16.84). The men's milers also rounded out the top collegiate finishes with Mike Jacobs racing 4:22.72, Dan Mykityshyn racing 4:23.86, and Braedon Koerwitz racing 4:41.87.
Lianne Farber was just .23 seconds off her personal best in the women's 800, taking first place in 2:09.84. Karley Rempel followed suit in third place in 2:16.13.
Isaac Presson claimed his first victory of the season in the men's 800 with a time of 1:54.21. Steve Magnuson and Macon Gambill were the third- and fourth-best collegiates in the 800, running 1:57.31 and 1:57.85, respectively.
The men and women's distance medley relays dominated the competition, sweeping the top two spots in each race as they had two relays competing. The women's DMR of Farber, Cori Floyd, Rempel and McCoy won in 11:47.42 while the men's DMR of Nate Fisher, Gambill, Presson and Magnuson won in 10:14.50.
The men's 4x400 relay won by nearly five seconds with Clayton Parros, Reynaldo Radlin, Smith and Carter racing in 3:16.74. The women's 4x400 relay of Marisa Dobbins, Floyd, Iman Wilkerson and Elizabeth Whelan placed second behind Alabama State, clocking in at 3:54.37.
Carolina is next in action at the Hokie Invitational in Blacksburg, Va., on Friday January 25th and Saturday January 26th.

It Cuts Both Ways: American Majority Deems Nanotechnology Immoral

A one thousand-year-old history lesson awaits those who would deem the cutting edge wicked
Damascus steel was forged using a process of carbon doping iron in a smelting and quenching process. This steel became famous almost a thousand years ago; it was said a Damascus sword would cut through falling silk, a rock, and then another piece of silk while still keeping its razor sharp edge.
The ability to make the Damascus steel was lost with the ages. Blademasters would often take the secret of the forging process to the grave rather than reveal its mysteries. Many were persecuted as heretics, others heralded as deities.
A study by a University of Wisconsin-Madison revealed that
more than 70% of 1,015 surveyed Americans deem nanotechnology morally repulsive
. Professor Dietram Scheufele attributes this repugnance for technology to American reliance on religion.
It's easy to say that perhaps the 1,000 Americans surveyed are just not that bright. Scheufele disagrees, stating, "They are rejecting it based on religious beliefs. The issue isn't about informing these people. They are informed."
Scheufele believes that Americans who disprove of nanotechnology do not want humans "playing God." That is, man manipulating structures of one nanometer, one billionth of a meter, is akin to God manipulating the forces of the universe.
In 2006 German researcher Peter Paufler discovered (with the aid of a sub-nanotechnology, the electron microscope) that a four hundred-year-old Damascus steel sword
gained its incredible properties from carbon nanotube structures within the blade's edge
. Fifteen years earlier NEC created the world's first synthetic nanotube. One year later it was awarded the patent for one of the sharpest materials on earth,
a plasma polished carbon nanotube blade
Science has always bordered on the fence of terrifying and mysterious. Civilization lost the secrets of Damascus steel making when then modern thinkers deemed it a practice of
deus ex hominis.
Attempting to describe the morality of natural phenomena leads to an exercise in natural fallacy. Not once, in the history of mankind, has science ever been proven immoral -- and conversely -- nor has it ever been proven moral either.
Will society deitize nano-researchers as modern day Damascus blademasters, or will it learn to look beyond the meta-ethics of natural phenomena for a change?

Earlier this week, Raiders head coach Dennis Allen said he doesn't think Terrelle Pryor "is ready to be the backup quarterback yet... ." That's OK, because Pryor won't be the backup quarterback on Sunday against the Chargers; he will be the starting quarterback. Pryor and Matt Leinart split first-team reps during the practice week, and Allen announced Friday that Pryor will get his first NFL start this weekend.
Fantasy Analysis:
At first blush, it seems like an odd decision because Pryor indeed doesn't seem ready to be a passer at this level. But everybody knows what Matt Leinart is. He certainly didn't change any opinions on him with his weak performance in Week 16, and he's a free agent after this season who is unlikely to be back in Oakland. Conversely, the Raiders have Pryor under contract through 2014, and they need to see what they have in the 23-year-old project. At the very least, his athleticism makes him intriguing to watch, but you shouldn't be starting him or any Raiders receivers in Week 17. The Chargers defense remains a pretty solid play, although Pryor is tough to track down.

text: In threads, I often hear Yuka Sato praised as an excellent coach who has done a tremendous job of polishing her students' skating skills. However, did Yuka really ever have the chance to demonstrate her own skating skills during her competitive career? After winning her world title in 1994, she has stayed out of the spotlight by retreating to a pro circuit that didn't quite grant her the audience and name recognition she might have achieved had she continued as an amateur competitor. Lu Chen and Surya Bonaly both continued to compete and amass medals, which begs the question: why didn't Yuka do the same? How would have you liked to see Yuka's career turn out? Should she have competed more and why didn't she? Also, what were some of her best moments on the ice?

For Exercise, Nothing Like the Great Outdoors
June 28, 2017,
Abdominal ultrasound is an type of imaging test. It is used to examine organs in the abdomen including the liver, gallbladder, spleen, pancreas, and kidneys. The blood vessels that lead to some of these organs can also be looked at with ultrasound.
Ultrasound - abdomen; Abdominal sonogram
An ultrasound machine makes images of organs and structures inside the body. The machine sends out high-frequency sound waves that reflect off body structures. A computer receives these waves and uses them to create a picture. Unlike with x-rays or CT scans, this test does not expose you to ionizing radiation.
You will be lying down for the procedure. A clear, water-based conducting gel is applied to the skin over the abdomen. This helps with the transmission of the sound waves. A handheld probe called a transducer is then moved over the abdomen.
You may need to change position so that the health care provider can look at different areas. You may also need to hold your breath for short periods during the exam.
Most of the time, the test takes less than 30 minutes.
Preparation steps vary depending on the problem. Most of the time, people are asked not to eat or drink for several hours before the exam. Your health care provider will go over what you need to do.
There is little discomfort. The conducting gel may feel a little cold and wet.
You may have this test to:
The reason for the test will depend on your symptoms.
The organs examined appear normal.
The meaning of abnormal results depends on the organ being examined and the type of problem. Talk to your health care provider if you have any questions or concerns.
An abdominal ultrasound can indicate conditions such as:
There is no known risk. You are not exposed to ionizing radiation.

Alkaline Water
Acidosis Causes and Natural Remedies
Acidosis - A medical condition in which the acid-base balance in the blood plasma becomes acidic, which can become a dangerous condition that weakens all body systems...very common today. It gives rise to an internal environment conducive to disease, as opposed to a body pH balance necessary for the body to resist disease.
Wastes produced from food are highly acidic and acidosis is one of the main contributors that lead to the aging process and various illnesses. Acidic waste not excreted through urine or sweat will accumulate in the body depriving cells of oxygen and essential nutrients.
Drink Alkaline, Ionized Water. Benefits of Alkaline Water.
Drinking alkaline water is an easy and efficient way to help neutralize an acidic human body. If we were to ask what is killing us, the answer might be ACIDOSIS. It has been demonstrated that an acidic, anaerobic (lacking oxygen) body environment encourages the breeding of fungus, mold, bacteria, and viruses. These are the benefits of alkaline water.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|I'm having way less trouble building my Austin gasser than rebuilding my '71 Camaro! At least I can fabricate any parts I need instead of having to try and match less than perfect repop parts!
On a recent '69 Z-28 project, we went through 3 sets of wheel opening mouldings, 2 sets of rocker mouldings, 4 Dash pads, 2 instrument clusters,
2 center consoles, 4 pairs of taillights, 3 rear bumpers, and 2 front bumpers,
1 windshield, 4 door glasses, 2 carpet sets, and 2 body mount kits.
(All brand new aftermarket parts), before we found things that were even half azzed acceptable, but still not really good enough. Also had a couple of package trays, and a rear seat back that were all screwed up.
But at least we were allowed to pay th' shippin both ways.
I've found that there is not much difference between the different vendors
or the parts they sell.
Currently workin' on a '55 chevy, Bought 2 birds for th' hood, (from a company that begins with a D) neither fit, (but were different in the way that they didn't fit) but the origional fits good. You would think that for $300 the dang thing would at least come close.
Same for th' gas flap rubbers, Th' screws that come with th' new ones are not the proper style screws, but when ya got no screws, an' no time to order th' right ones from Aircraft Spruce, yer kinda stuck.
Thanks 1971BB427 for your comments on your experiences with after markets parts. Its interesting that only a few companies in China make all the stamped parts with new dies. However as stated, if the parts are QCd correctly with the proper gauge steel then they can be acceptable. The costs are lower in China as everybody knows why. This goes back to my original question is how do they make the dies. Old school or new technology? Im just curious about the process.
I also notice that the large number of aluminum heads on the market today in all of their variations that technology has had to play a role in their manufacture. Im not commenting on the quality or non quality of any foreign made heads. Aluminum heads especially made in the USA must be using computers for 3D modeling, fluid dynamics, CAD/CAM usage for prototype development before committing to production, new production casting machinery allow these products to come to market sooner? The reasonable costs, manufacturer selections and performance output of these heads are fantastic that technology has had to have been used somewhere in the process. I am intrigued and would like to know more how technology is use today in all aspects of our hotrod industry.
Yeah I can give you an earful on this subject since I finished a fairly extensive rebuild of my '71 Camaro in June. Aftermarket parts are not all the same! Some are junk that's way too thin, and ill fitting, and even the best brands can produce crap.
I was told to use certain suppliers, and that all their stuff was good. Some even advertise that their items are exact repros of factory parts, but that's just baloney. I found that there's only a few makers over in China doing all the body panels, and that ALL of them use new dies. The difference is the distributr. Some companies send their reps over to check everything before accepting the parts. Those companies end up providing a good product, because they do their own QC, while others negotiate a price and just buy what they get, then sell it. I know one company that has a huge number of cowl induction hoods for 2nd gen Camaros that are ALL off center, and they simply put them back on the shelf when someone returns them for defect, then resell it until it goes to someone who doesn't notice the 1/4" offcenter rib down the cowl.
When doing my Camaro I had to open up almost every hole in the frontend sheetmetal to allow parts to mate. Some holes were so far off that I couldn't open them up, and ended up cutting the brackets off and rewelding them in the correct alignment. My brackets from fenders to firewall had to both be chopped and reloacted. I also found that all the sheetmetal was much thinner than stock. So much so that the first time I closed my hood I dented it while pushing it down to latch! I had to drill holes in the hood and weld in a thin sheet behind that area above the latch to ensure it would be strong enough to hold when pushing it down.
I will say that most cast and machined parts I got (regardless of maker) fit perfectly, and looked exactly like originals. Interior repops were also of good quality with PUI, but not sure of all brands.
I found that National Parts Depot was the absolute best seller of quality parts. I spoke with a rep there, and they don't purchase anything without visiting the maker's plant and inspecting all parts before signing the check. Never had any issues with anything I bought from NPD.
After Market Parts
During the Christmas holidays the normal auto TV shows had their marathons on and what was prevalent was the number of after market parts being used. When you see AD pickups, Mustangs, Camaros, Mopars, Tri-Five replacement parts being used, I began thinking has modern technology made all this possible. All of these body panels require presses and stamping dies. Any stamping press of the proper tonnage will do but what about the dies. Are they original dies that were scrapped years ago and found? Are these dies made from original drawings that have been laser or digitally scanned and converted to CNC data to run mills and lathes? Do they scan existing parts and convert to CNC data? Do they use newer metallurgy for die materials that have a limited production run but cheaper and easier to make? I have seen how the aerospace companies used data to deposit plastic into objects that are used to make molds for casting parts or other technologies that I dont even know about. I am wondering if any of this technology is being used to make these parts more available today than before. I am not commenting on the overall quality, because I dont know, but the more I see of these parts being used, the quality and overall costs have to be good or people wont buy. Any thoughts on this topic.

A league source has told Jeff McLane of the Philadelphia Inquirer that the Eagles will give Nick Foles another start on Monday against the Panthers. Andy Reid has said that Vick is making progress with his comeback from a Week 10 concussion, but he is still unable to practice or even take part in any strenuous exercise. In his first career start last Sunday, Foles completed just 21 of 46 passes for 204 yards and two interceptions.
Fantasy Analysis:
Foles was the anti-Kaepernick in his starting debut, looking very uncomfortable in the pocket and making a number of unwise throws. Of course, his offensive line didn't really help him out. Neither did Reid, who dialed up 46 pass plays. I don't care if you're down by 20 points; you've got to understand when your rookie quarterback is overmatched. I think Foles will be better against the Panthers even though they have a better pass defense than Washington. But Foles remains a low-end QB2 at most.

'Miller was set to be an unrestricted free agent after the 2008-09 season.'
Archives for July 2008
Sabres sign goaltender Miller to 5-year extension
Ryan Miller signs for 5 more years and $31.25 million
'Miller appeared in a franchise-high 76 games last season, posting a record of 36-27-10 with a 2.64 goals-against average and a .906 save percentage. During the season, Miller made 34 consecutive starts from January 24-April 3 and a career-high three shutouts. Miller also earned his 100th career victory on February 10 against Florida.'
Miller Agrees to 5-Year Deal
'The Buffalo Sabres today announced they have signed goaltender Ryan Miller to a five-year contract extension. Miller, who will enter the final year of his contract this season, is now signed with the club through the 2013-2014 season.'
NHLers on the block for charity
'Girardi, a New York Rangers defenceman, and Paille, a Buffalo Sabres forward, will meet fans and golfers that day in Welland. What's more, six other participants can golf side by side with the pair.'
Analyzing the Sabres schedule: Best of the West
'Under the NHL's new formula, they play six games (three home, three away) against the Northeast Division, four games (2-2) against the other 10 teams in the Eastern Conference, two games against West at-large opponents Detroit, Anaheim and Phoenix, and one game against the West's other 12 teams.'
Bills, Sabres winning big at the box office despite weak economy
'Both teams, especially the Bills, have done a better job in regionalizing their franchises, mostly to the east and north.'
Sabres, Paille agree to new deal
'Paille, the 20th overall pick in 2002, blossomed during his first full NHL season in 2007-08, scoring 19 goals and 35 points in 77 games. He had three two-goal games. The 24-year-old has 23 goals and 49 points in 120 NHL games.'
Sabres host Montreal to open upcoming season
'The league has revised its scheduling this year, with Buffalo playing Northeast Division opponents Boston, Montreal, Ottawa and Toronto six times rather than eight. The Sabres will play each non-divisional Eastern Conference team four times, and all 15 Western Conference teams at least once.'
Buffalo Sabres 2008-09 Schedule
'The Sabres' 39th season of operation will begin when the Montreal Canadiens visit HSBC Arena on Friday, October 10. The Sabres will travel to Long Island to begin the road portion of their schedule on Monday, October 13 to face the New York Islanders.'
Homing in on schedule
'So the Sabres will play 24 games against Northeast Division opponents this season, eight fewer than last year. Buffalo will then play four games against the 10 non-division opponents in the Eastern Conference, one game against all 15 teams in the Western Conference and three "at-large" games.'
Dan Paille literally on course for new contract
'"I want to play more of role than I have in the past. I believe I can play more of a role with the club."'
Paille staying in Buffalo
'Overall in his NHL career, Paille has 49 points in 120 games after being taken by the Sabres in the first round of the 2002 NHL Entry Draft.'
Sabres and forward Paille agree to multiyear deal
Paille, Buffalo's first-round pick (20th overall) in 2002, emerged as a solid two-way forward in 2007-08, his first full season with the Sabres. He set career highs in goals (19) and points (35) while playing in 77 games.'
Paille Agrees To Multi-year Deal; Schedule News
'The Maple Leafs have added a 5th preseason game to their dockett. They will play Buffalo in the Air Canada Centre on September 22nd. It will be called the Coca Cola Zero game. This game will be free to all fans via a ticket giveaway. These tickets will be distributed through a series of promotions and contests.'
Sabres to face Canadiens in home opener

"Swat Fly Repellent"
Best fly ointment out there, keeps all types of insects off w/o being toxic for them; only one I can use on my horses legs as he rubs his muzzle/face on his legs and other repellents seriously bothered his eyes; this is like baby shampoo that works but doesn't hurt nose or ears!
"love SWAT pink"
SWAT really works to keep those nasty gnats off my donkeys. I like the pink so I can see at a glance that it is still there, or if I need to reapply it.
"love SWAT"
Swat has kept the gnats from eating my donkey better than anything spray or otherwise that I have tried.
Great product for ear gnats in our mules.
This is the BEST product ever ,been using it for 30 years, not only on my horses but my dogs ears too. It is a great product. I will always buy this
"Fly protection "
When using this product you do not have to worry about flies getting in the wounds also great protection for a horses ears, use the clear when showing. I like the pink for home because I can see when I need more due to the color
"Awesome Product"
Inexpensive and works! Have used this product for many years.
"The Best"
Use Swat on my horse every fly season for ear protection from nats & flies. Also use on belly and on any small wounds. Works wonders. Love it.
"The Best"
Use Swat on my horse every fly season for ear protection from nats & flies. Also use on belly and on any small wounds. Works wonders. Love it.
"A Must have"
SWAT is a must have for every horse owner. Horses almost always have some small scratch or wound and it really helps keep the bugs off. It is not only for wounds but is great for horses that aren't a fan of fly spray since they don't mind a massage of SWAT instead. I put it on all my horses ears, face, under their bellies and down their legs which even keeps bot flies off in the fall. Great product!
"Must-have for ALL horses"
This has been an essential product in my barn for years now. Though my horses all wear flymasks with ear coverage during the day, I take them off at night so their vision is not impaired in the dark. As we all know, however, the bugs don't exactly call it a day and dissapear just because it's night! SWAT has allowed me to ensure my horses don't have to put up with ANY bugs (flies, mosquitoes, gnats) around their eyes and ears. They literally wait in line at night for me to put this stuff on after their masks come off! The horses know it works, too! :0)
"A summer necessity!!"
Swat has been around a long time and it is a classic --very much needed to help keep flies out of wounds. I also use it to smear around horses eyes/ears to prevent those nasty little flies from bugging my horses' faces. It is a MUST HAVE. It's great it comes in clear now- used to always have bubblegum pink on horses faces!!
"less flys"
all ways use this in the summer time it makes suere no flys go in there ears and nats i hate wen my horse all way shakes her head and rideing now with this it is all better and douz not shakes her head thank god best stuff works on all flys too

BootsBoots wrote:I think the point is that in the theme write up, it kind of said "please no more using copyrighted characters, we're sick of it." I took it that way, anyway. The point isn't whether this is legally printable as parody or not (it obviously falls under parody). The point is that it's parodying a copyrighted character, which seemed to be kind of a no-no this time around. Although, the write-ups are many times kind of vague, and I'm not sure if it was a rule or just a suggestion.
Not trying to bring any poo-pooing to your design, Lucky. You know I always dig your style. It just seemed like this argument was going around in circles of misunderstanding, and I thought I'd try to help clear it up.
I think this is the point with last derby's mega rejection of anything remotely copyrighted. Hopefully it is a trend. I might end up buying more woot shirts. The sad thing about this one is I'd be 1000 times more likely to buy it (though similar shirts exist) if it was a regular cat. I think we should call a pander a pander and acknowledge that liono was slapped on to get nostalgia votes.
ichimunki wrote:Good for them. Woot is a business. Selling more shirts makes them more money, which means they will keep on selling these shirts!
Shirt.Woot is a shirt site. If they wanted to, they could sell "Team Edward" and "Team Jacob" shirts all day, and they'd make a killing. I doubt you'd like that. It's not just about sales. Quality should factor as well. McDonald's and Burger King are not the two best restaurants in the US.
As far as this design: it's one of the best in the Derby.
Eh... well, to each their own. The best I can say is that it's not Ramyb's worst.
forstycup wrote:I'm not sure I understand what is going on in the design. You have the molecule structure, which seems to be turning into a sky blue plant. There is what looks to be a butterfly to the right of it.
His point is that all life is carbon based. So you have carbon blending into plants blending into an animal. I like it a lot. Frankly, I couldn't care less if it doesn't fit the theme perfectly. It's a cool shirt and I will buy it if it is printed.
Re: x = pb j
Re: x = pb j
Maybe a slight smattering of color either on the jelly or make it look like jelly got on the schematics, I think that would sell it even better, then it would also be applied science.
I agree. Can you add a "splash" (or, maybe, a "splat!") of color to this? Like purple over the grapes/jelly, and brown over the peanuts/pb? Seems like it would make the shirt "pop!" a bit more.

Re: Double Helix
Very cool. It seems to me that it *may* be off theme (yes, it's science-y, but is it about the scientific process?). But I've voted for it anyway, because I would definitely wear it. I'd like to have some more non-cartoonie Woot! shirts.

Would be really funny with Steven Hawking on the 'talk box.' But this is positively algebraic. I love it.
Re: Test Tube Baby
This is a good concept on a nice looking design. I would have gone for a green baby with blue and yellow parents or some other combination where the mix of the parents' colors makes the color of the baby.
Beautiful work...

So the only criterion that should be used to decide if a design should be printed is if it's cool?

Actually Darwin's on Bass and Freud's on drums. I'm not a fan of Freud myself but his look is funny to draw. Try googling pics of him and you will see what I mean. And those are his real glasses. In pics I saw they look like gag ones.
I thought of Steven Hawkings but he seemed more new school. Maybe he can be in a "boy band" version with Carl Saegan and other comtempories.
I am disappointed that you removed v1. If you ever print it elsewhere, please let me know. It had been my derby favorite.

If you are trying to represent zDNA the standard model would not fit as the major and minor grooves look completely different due to changes in Hydrogen bonding
When you look at the design, which of these two configurations do you visualize?
I realized that there is an ambiguity in the design in this regard, so I thought perhaps we were seeing two different things.

Doesn't seem on topic IMO. No science, only probability. Even if there were science, certainly no scientific method.

That's funny, "Test Tube Baby" is in the fog, is it not? Do you see people carrying on and on over there? Who's the one here trying to look smarter than they are and just wants something to say? Nice try though. k thx boi

Inspired by those classic science fiction tales where the hapless traveler(s) crash in a land of creatures of enormous size, this poor soul was caught and is now being experimented on by giant amoebas.

Also, the leaf is really cool. I love its design. Well done!
I think I like this one better!
I love this one, but there is something that constantly bothers me. Someone may have already address this, but doesn't red and blue make green? The dude should be blue and the baby should be green in my opinion,adding that little artist joke in there.
Still a superb job as always!
Edit: I am dumb- blue and yellow make green... Whatever, I just mean use the color wheel to create the baby.
I love this, and I think the countdown is absolutely necessary for the shirt to really make sense, but at the same time, by all rights, it should get rejected for text.

Thanks for the vote, and I'm glad you like the design. I wanted to try one more time though to explain why I think this design is on topic, as well as offer some thoughts about the theme in general. I know this won't stop any arguing (in fact, I am sure it will only serve to fuel the fire), but I will try my best to stay out of it as much as possible after this. I think people are getting stuck on the fact that this isn't much changed from the original, but please keep in mind that the original design was about scientific discovery in the first place. The changes that I made were to broaden the scope of the shirt to be about the study of DNA in general, which is why I added the specific molecular structures, as well as the representation of xray crystallography, which was a specific experiment in the study of DNA.
That said, the theme this week is "The Scientific Method." It is difficult for people to differentiate between this and "experimenting." Although experiments fall under the greater category of scientific method, that's not what the topic is. Designs shouldn't need to show the experimental process to be on topic. The scientific method encompasses all parts of the process: question, hypothesis, testing, results, conclusion, etc. Designs can include any one or all of these aspects. For example, tgentry's donut design is showing results of some sort. There is no question or hypothesis or experiment or anything involved, just a zoom in on a donut. Spiritgreen's design is showing the testing portion, without anything else. Very few designs show all of the parts of the scientific method, most simply choose one and run with it. And while I still believe that there are many off topic entries (simple math and test tubes=/scientific method), woot even expressed that they intend to be lenient with this theme in the writeup, since they essentially said they will take anything with a beaker on it.
The analogy was made to woot doing a derby about cooking. In that case, designs could include people washing vegetables, cutting meats, throwing things over a fire, heating something in the microwave, etc., but eating is not part of the process of cooking. With themes like this, the entire scope has to be considered when viewing entries. In this case, the theme extends beyond what most people are thinking about. It's possible that the way I interpreted the theme was not woot's intention, but I'd argue that they chose the wrong name and description for the theme if they weren't looking to allow such a broad range of designs.
I don't think that saying this design is on topic is even a stretch in any way. There's a lot going on in the design, and I encourage anyone who doubts that it is on topic to take a closer look and pick out the individual elements of the design. The design shows a progression of thought, and results of on experiment leading to another. I never said that I made changes so drastic that nobody would recognize the original, only that the design is on topic. I think it's more wearable, more generally relevant, and easier to understand thematically than the original with the changes that I made, but comparing small thumbnails of this to the original won't yield you anything in terms of understanding where I tried to go with the design. Subtle changes can be effective in changing the idea behind a design, but not if they are dismissed.
I'm sorry to respond specifically to your post, but I wanted to make this statement in general. A lot of people say that they don't care if this is on topic, but I do and I believe that it is.
