Jernstedt, who will begin working with the UD team in January, joins a staff that includes veteran head coach Bob Shillinglaw, associate head coach Greg Carroll, and first-year assistant coach Noah Fossner. The Blue Hens resume practice Jan. 6 in preparation for the 2014 season opener Feb. 1 vs. High Point.
Delaware captured consecutive Colonial Athletic Association Tournament titles and advanced to the NCAA Tournament in 2010 and 2011 and will be looking to return to the top of the league standings this spring with the return of eight starters. The Blue Hens will host the NCAA Tournament Quarterfinals May 18 at Delaware Stadium (tickets available now at www.bluehens.com).
"Our staff is excited to add Alec to our program," said Shillinglaw, the dean of NCAA Division I head coaches now in his 36th season at the helm of the Blue Hens. "He brings expertise in several positions and being a former CAA player he understands the competitiveness of the conference. His energy and enthusiasm will be a great addition to our program."
A native of Wilsonville, Ore., Jernstedt was a three-year letterwinner at Towson and earned his degree in economics and geography with a minor in business in 2012. He was a Dean's List student at Towson where he also was involved with P.A.W.S (Proud Athletes Who Serve) and with Athletes in Action. He graduated from Wilsonville (Ore.) High School where he was an All-State midfielder while also competing for the football, basketball, and track & field teams.
Originally recruited as an offensive midfielder, he switched to defensive midfielder as a sophomore, played longstick midfield as a junior, and played both positions his final campaign in 2012. Jernstedt played in 32 career games at Towson and helped lead the Tigers to CAA championship game appearances in 2009 and 2010. He recorded 29 groundballs and 11 caused turnovers for his career from his defensive position and also added three goals and an assist.
For the past five years, Jernstedt has served as a youth and club lacrosse coach on both sides of the country. He served as the head coach of the Rhino Lacrosse Club in Portland, Ore. in 2009-12 and has worked as a youth coach and marketing director for the Next Level Lacrosse Club in Bethesda, Md. since December, 2012.

The Epiphone Masterbilt DR-500MCE guitar combines traditional construction methods and features with premium all-solid tone woods to bring you a new-vintage electric guitar with deep, rich lows, shimmering highs, and just the right amount of mids. While many other guitars in this price class use pressed backs, spliced neck joints, and even artificial wood backs and sides, you can be assured that this Epiphone guitar holds true to its all-solid wood promise.
It features a solid Sitka spruce top, hand-scalloped Sitka spruce braces, mahogany kerfing, a 25-1/2"-scale rosewood fingerboard, and a rosewood bridge. Players looking for vintage tone and vibe will appreciate the handcrafted dovetail neck joint and hide-glue construction. The Epiphone DR-500MCE guitar has a solid mahogany back and sides, as well as a 20-fret, hand-shaped mahogany neck that joins the body at the 14th fret, which is adorned with carefully cut, split-diamond pearl fretboard inlays. As with all Masterbilts, the Epiphone electric guitar features a vintage-style offset headstock with a stickpin inlay.
While the Epiphone DR-500MCE sounds great unplugged, it really comes alive when plugged in-thanks to the eSonic2 preamp system. Made in cooperation with Shadow Germany, the eSonic2 preamp features a built-in, easy-to-use tuner. When engaged, the Epiphone guitar's output is automatically muted-with no popping noise-making it a perfect choice for stage use. You can even push in the tuner button and unplug the guitar without a loud pop. Other controls on this state-of-the-art preamp include Master Volume, NanoFlex Tone, NanoMag Tone, Stereo Blend, Low Battery indicator, and a Phase switch to help eliminate unwanted feedback. The preamp uses two 2032 lithium watch batteries that are not only lightweight, but provide significantly longer life than old-fashioned, heavy 9V batteries.
Under the bone saddle is Shadow's proprietary NanoFlex, a low-impedance pickup. Not a piezo, this unique flexible sensing material features integrated active electronics into the Epiphone electric guitar that not only pick up string vibration, but also top and body vibrations for a truly acoustic tone without the harshness of piezos. Complimenting the NanoFlex is the revolutionary NanoMag pickup mounted at the harmonic-rich, end of the fingerboard. Exclusively from Shadow, the NanoMag features 3 Samarian-Cobalt magnets and an integrated active circuit to capture all the highs and lows, including a wide range of harmonics. With your choice of either a 1/4" mono output blending both pickups, or a 1/4" stereo output splitting the two pickups, the Epiphone Masterbilt guitar pickup gives you incredible flexibility and the opportunity to create the perfect acoustic tone live.
Other features on the Epiphone Masterbilt acoustic electric guitar include quality vintage-style Grover Sta-Tite 16:1 ratio machine heads; bone nut and saddle; imitation tortoise pickguard; nickel hardware; and a bound body, neck, and headstock.

Wow was my first impression on playing this guitar unplugged. The volume and depth of tone are unmatched at this price range. Workmanship is excellent with solid top and back. I especially like the neck which is non lacquered matte finish. It just feels great in you hands. If this guitar had no electronics I would still give it the high marks, but this one really shines plugged in with the Esonic NanoMag. Everyone who has picked this up and played it can't believe the sound out of this thing for the price. I have a Gibson Hummingbird that I love dearly but it was close to 4 times the cost of this. I was always reluctant to throw the Gibson in a bag and take it over to friends and parties so I started looking for a mid priced box. For a guitar in the $600 range, you won't find a better value or with better electronics.

I read many great reviews, so I decided to get one online, so I didn't try it first, as I should have.
I'm a professional musician, and I've been playing guitar for 20 years now. I owned Taylors, Gibsons and Martins, and I have to say this guitar is pretty well built, and is a very nice sounding acoustic. The woods are great, satin neck feels great, the action was good, but I lovered it some more, and had to correct a small bow on the neck...but I don't consider it to be a problem. My main guitar is still Martin DC16GTE Premium(also mahogany), and it looks like that's not going to change any time soon. Comparing those two: the sound on Epiphone is somehow more on the treble side (brighter), definetly a bit louder, but Martin still has more defined tones.
Plugged in, there's no comparison, Martin is a monster (Fishman Prefix Premium Blend preamp). The preamp on Epiphone is small, with thin and tall potentiometers that are just not so convenient for quick on stage use...and turning the volume knob produces some kind of static noise, and now I'm in the process of exchanging the preamp wit a new one from Epiphone. But even then, I think I will just get a Fishman preamp, and install that one. The sound coming out of the Esonic2 preamp is just terrible. They say it should be more natural, something like combining piezo pickup and internal mic (which I have on Martin), but as I said, it's not even close. The nanoflex pickup is just bad, the eq knob does very little change to the sound turned all the way down, and up. It doesn't pick up any knocking on the wood, or any of that vibrations that internal mic, or even piezo would pick up. And the nanomag is in my opinion totally useless piece of equipment on acoustic guitar. Maybe I just have a bad working preamp, but I'm doing this review based on what I got for my money.
So, just two eq knobs that do very little change to the sound, and I can't seem to find any usable sound setting.

Comments about Epiphone Masterbilt DR-500MCE Acoustic-Electric Guitar:
I recently purchased this guitar from Guitar Center Dayton. At first, I went to GC to purchase the new Breedlove C250 plus. As I was taking a final look around the show room, I stumbled upon this guitar. I picked it up because of its gorgeous looks, not expecting it to be much because of the price and because of previous Epiphone acoustic guitars that Ive owned and had issues with. I was overly impressed with this. Aside from it being such a beautiful guitar, it has amazing tone (good blend, not to bassy or too bright), low action, and it plays great! It was more impressive than the Breedlove I was prepared to purchase. When I plugged it in, the nano mag pickup really shocked me with its clear, solid tone. I play live about 3 times a week, so Im really picky about finding a guitar that sounds good unplugged, but more importantly, a guitar that sounds good through a system. And this one made the cut. The Epiphone eSonic2 preamp system sounds amazing as well and the preamps tuner works like a charm. The Grover tuners do a great job at keeping this guitar tuned. Over all, this is an amazing guitar and you cant top this for the price.
Comments about Epiphone Masterbilt DR-500MCE Acoustic-Electric Guitar:
I've been searching for an acoustic for quite a while. I was looking mostly at Taylors, Martins and Breedloves (in the 600 - 800 range) and finally played this and loved it. I was a bit of a snob thinking Epiphones are a sub-brand but after reading a lot of forums about the cheaper Martins and Taylors, a lot of people were pointing at these masterbilts. It's made in China, but if you look at the 'American' brands �ۡ���� all of their guitars at the lower price point are made somewhere else. Breedlove's Atlas series is Korean and Taylor's lower end models are made in Mexico. All of the above also have some sort of laminate back and/or sides. That said, I think you really get a lot more for your money with this guitar. It's ALL solid wood and sounds fantastic. The electronics are great and it looks beautiful. If you're looking at the Martins and Taylors in this price range, pick one of these up and give it a strum.
Comments about Epiphone Masterbilt DR-500MCE Acoustic-Electric Guitar:
I've played many guitars and own many acoustics.I bought this guitar as an open mike nite guitar where alot of people have their guitars all lined up ready to play and occasionally someone without permission starts using the wrong guitar.With that said I didnt want to bring my Taylor or Breedlove.What I didnt expect was the incredible sound the 2 pickups produce and the craftsmanship was right on.I will say this guitar out-shines guitars costing many times more.Buy this guitar and put the others away.I've played for 42yrs now and play out alot.This is my choice of acoustic guitars for any situation.Any level of ability will be satisfied from novice to advanced like myself.Hey,its 1/3 the price of a comparable Martin.Believe me,I own several Martins and they're bench-warmers now.
Comments about Epiphone Masterbilt DR-500MCE Acoustic-Electric Guitar:
Picked up an acoustic -electric by another popular manufacturer that was hanging on the wall at Guitar Center and thought I liked the feel, sound, and action. That was before I took the Epiphone DR-500MCE into my hands and felt the immediate delicate balance which far surpassed the "other brand" Unplugged , it was hands down far superior,but when I plugged the unit into the first amp that was handy ,I was completely blown away with the beautiful sound (clean) that I heard coming out of that little(used Fender amp) I couldn't buy this Guitar the day I tried it out,but it is definitely on my wish list. It has the true acoustic sound even when amped without the "feedback" normally associated with A/E guitars,especially within close range of the Amp. I give this guitar and it's Electronics a 5 star rating.
Comments about Epiphone Masterbilt DR-500MCE Acoustic-Electric Guitar:
I've been playing guitar for 20 years. Building guitars for 15 years (electrics). I wanted an all solid wood guitar with a bone nut and saddle. I didn't even look at these. I went through a number of stores trying everything in the $1000 to $4000 price range. I even went to some luthiers that build acoustics locally. Then I found out about the Masterbilt series. Everything I wanted, and a fraction of the cost of anything else I was trying...and this guitar blew them all away. I couldn't believe that a $600 Epiphone sounded better than a $4000 Martin or Taylor. But it did. I was so impressed with the guitar, that I told another customer who was trying Martins to try one of the other Masterbilts. We both bough Masterbilts. One thing I will say, this guitar sounds good with whatever strings they put on it...but it sounds 10 times better with a set of Elixir strings. Better sound balance and projection. There may be other string brands that sound awesome on it, just realize when you try it out, that whatever you buy for strings will sound better than what comes on the guitar.
Comments about Epiphone Masterbilt DR-500MCE Acoustic-Electric Guitar:
Taylor Knock Out. I recently sold one of my Taylors and was looking for a new and different replacement for it. Money wasn't a huge issue, I just wanted to find a lot of features, solid wood, and good tone. Don't get me wrong, I wanted something below $1,000, but if the right one would've come along over that I would've bought it. The Epiphone Masterbilt DR-500-MCE was the one I picked. Coming from playing Taylors, I'm used to that balanced trebly and punchy sound. This guitar has it plus a bit more on the bottom end. The dual pickup system and preamp are fantastic for the price point - actually fantastic for ANY price point. The preamp takes lithium ion batteries so it last longer than the 9 volt driven units. The guitar comes with a bone saddle and nut, solid mahogony back and sides, nice tuners, a solid sitka spruce top and a pretty nice fit and finish overall. On the negative or neutral side ... the guitar doesn't come with a strap bolt on the neck - you've got to install one yourself. It also doesn't come with a hard case. I bought a decent one for $70 bucks. Mine also accidentally came with the standard saddle. When I noticed that, I took it back into Guitar Center and they swapped it out for one of the compensated bone saddles. These Epiphone bone saddles are very nice ... compensated for the B string, plus the contact point across the top is compensated for string intonation. So, its actually angled on the guitar, plus the B sting compensation, plus additional intonation compensation on the bone saddle itself. My test on guitars is to play an open D string, along with the 11th fret of the B string and the 10th fret of the high E. It's basically a D-major triad. Anyway, this little chord tells me right away if an acoustic guitar has good intonation. When I play that chord on this guitar it sounds better than on my Taylors - who are slightly off. The last thing that I'll mention about the bone saddle is that it puts a little extra "snap" in the stings. I'd played a regular composite saddle for a few days and that one rounded out the sound just a bit. Overall, very happy with the fit and finish of the guitar. I've been playing for over 10 years and consider myself really picky about acoustics and tone. I should also note for full disclosure, I don't play with a pick on acoustics. So its possible a guy who picks everything could pick up the guitar and not be as happy with it as I am. I've been really surprised by this guitar and the features. Sounds awesome through a P.A. or my Marshall acoustic amp with minimal adjustments. I'm not sure I would've bought it without the preamp and pickup system it comes with as I think those things really make it what it is when amplified.
Comments about Epiphone Masterbilt DR-500MCE Acoustic-Electric Guitar:
That is the best word for this guitar. I just returned from GC Tacoma and put one of these beauties on layaway.Scored a "used" vintage burst MC500ce without a nick or scratch on it for 399!!!! WHAT A STEAL!!!! Trust me I did a ton of online research and went out and played a ton of 300 t0 600 dollar acoustics and this guitar beat em all GET ONE YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT!
Comments about Epiphone Masterbilt DR-500MCE Acoustic-Electric Guitar:
I play about three nights a week, my main guitar is a Gibson Chet Atkins SST. I have played Taylors, Takamines, and Breedloves and all the other guitars in this price range $500-$699 and the Masterbuilt is the best guitar I have played. This guitar feels and plays like a Gibson! It has great action and has a crisp sound-BUY THIS GUITAR.
Comments about Epiphone Masterbilt DR-500MCE Acoustic-Electric Guitar:
Today I went to Guitar Center looking for this guitar that I have been looking at for a few months. The second I picked up this guitar, I knew that this is the guitar for me. For fun, I played a few $3,000 guitars, and this $600 guitar played as well, if not better than most of them. This guitar has a beautiful finish that I can't take my eyes off of. It sits perfectly in my hands. If you want to play classical, rock, pop, blues, jazz, show-tunes, or more, this is the guitar for you. Overall, it's an awesome guitar.

Here we are at the end of the month with Recipe Roundup and you will find two soups and a dessert.
I love Pretzel Salad. A good pretzel salad, that is. Some people don't crush the pretzels fine enough or get the gelatin firm enough and it runs under the pretzel crust and you have a whole new dish. Through my online Taste of Home subscription, I found the Pretzel Dessert. Cherry pie filling is used instead of strawberry gelatin. Give it a try.
Kroger is the setting for the Taco Soup. At least a year ago, a friend, Tom Franklin, my husband and I were shopping there on Senior Day and Tom asked me if I had a good recipe for Taco Soup. At the time I didn't, but after researching online, I found one and I think I had it in this column.
This past Wednesday, again on Senior Day at Kroger, Martha Martin stopped me and asked if I had a good recipe for Taco Soup. She didn't need one, she had one to share, and for those of you who like spicy food, give this one a try.
The Baked Potato Soup comes from a book "Unbelievably Gluten Free!" I have many people tell me of their celiac disease that they have or a loved one has suffered from for a significant time.
The simple thing to do is just simulate the textures and flavors of wheat with other all-natural ingredients. Sure! That is not an easy thing to do, and hopefully this recipe helps. It doesn't include flour, which has gluten, that often is used to thicken potato soups in restaurants and at home.
The final recipe is a taco seasoning mix. Instead of a not-so-healthy mix available in groceries, this recipe is a less expensive alternative. It also has lesssodium and monosodium glutamate and is made with natural spices.

Pretzel Dessert
In a large bowl, combine pretzels, sugar and butter; set aside ½ c. for topping. Press the remaining mixture into an ungreased 9-by-13-by-2-inch dish.
In another large bowl, beat the whipping topping mix, milk and vanilla on high for 4 minutes or until soft peaks form. Add cream cheese and confectioners' sugar; beat until smooth.
Spread half over crust. Top with pie filling and remaining cream cheese mixture. Sprinkle with reserved pretzel mixture. Refrigerate overnight.

Taco Soup
Brown and drain ground beef. Add the remainder of ingredients, all undrained. Simmer until hot and thoroughly mixed. Serve with cheddar cheese on top.
Source: Martha Martin
Baked Potato Soup
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Rinse potatoes and pat them dry with a paper towel. Prick several times with a fork. Bake until cooked through, about 1 hour.
Place the butter or olive oil in a large heavy soup pot. Add the onion and cook over medium-low heat until it softens, 4 to 5 minutes. Turn off heat. Cut the baked potatoes in half lengthwise and scoop the cooked potato flesh into the pot with the onions. Add chicken broth and season to taste with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring, and then reduce heat to low, cover the pot and let simmer until the potatoes are very tender and the soup is well combined, about 15 minutes. Stir in cream.
Working in batches, ladle the warm soup into a blender or food processor and puree until smooth. Return the soup to the pot and add 1 cup of the cheese. Cook, stirring over low heat until the cheese has melted, 1 to 2 minutes. The soup can be refrigerated for 2 to 3 days.
To serve, ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with the remaining 1 c. cheese and bacon and chives or parsley.

hey guys, i am starting my jango costume, and i was wondering where i can get a fairly accurate jango helmet. i am looking for a fiberglass helmet kit. i want the kit to be a good price, and to come with everything. any suggestions will help.
I think Rubie´s Helmet is a good base to work. The sizes are Right (maybe a liiiiiiiitle small, but not too much) and you will have to repaint it and change the visor. Is a good and cheap option
well, i had a rubies, and i just did not like it. i have a fiberglass boba helmet that i bought, it was a kit, and i just love it. it's made by ozprops7 from ebay....not sure if he's really reliable...but...i did get my helmet from him. its a good helmet. i've thought bout a mystery type helmet, cause it has lots of room to play with
Just 2 sweet letters - JD !! IMHO
I hope this can help you
I think its useful for a Jangos helmet
PM Sent
BKBT makes an outstanding Jango helmet. Also as mentioned earlier a JD bucket is top quality as well.
JangoUri said:
That helmet isnt what I would call up to standards of the TDH community, for that price you can purchase a thick casted original helmet, and not a shabby recaste.
well, i saw one on ebay that was already painted, and one thing i really liked bout it was it had a dent in the side where in the arena seen jango has a dent in his helmet. its also in the visual dictionary.....i really like accuracy. but, i want to paint my own helmet.....its half the fun of making your Jango.
That was probably SEEKER's bucket. He's the only one that I know of that has the arena dent. But, I could be mistaken. Rubies is a good place to start, but I know you have already done a Boba costume, so you don't need any practice. I don't think BKBT is still making his Jango bucket, I think it was a 1 time small run thing, but I could be mistaken. His would be my first pick. (Assuming you have a good amount of cash to work with, I don't know the price of the BKBT, but I think it would be up there.) JD makes a nice bucket aswell. There are also others. I'm sure you will get PM's or something soon. Goodluck with your Jango, I'm sure it will be fantastic, (as is your Boba!).thksdad said:
I bought a DP 97 3 yrs back..and slowly...its became a jango!
Shabby. But its wearable..and not as expensive..
of corse, it would have to be upgraded sometime or other. So just twiddle with it! its fun.
Looking pretty good, just add a bit of weathering to it and you'll be almost done.
Yeah I think the process for the greasey weathering is something like black acrylic paint on a wet wet wet paper towel and them you dab the black onto the bucket wherever you think it should go. I've never done it though. Ask around a bit before you take the plunge. But then again, its acrylic, so you can always wash it off. Goodluck!

Hi all, i am trying to run VMware-Workstation-6.5.2-156735.i386.bundle on my modified Backtrack 3 (126.96.36.199 kernel) on my old Sempron processor pc. Installation was successful, but have some problems with running vmware. I have found some missing *.tgz, but finally i have trouble with last one. The shell gives me following:
bt Desktop # vmware
/usr/lib/vmware/bin/vmware-modconfig: error while loading shared libraries: libgio-2.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Long Google research didn't solve this, i did find another errors with libgio (solved by unset LD_LIBRARY_PATH) but no error like mine,so asking if somebody know where to find missing libgio-2.0.so.0 or what can help in this case would be very glad. Mae by whole procedure i am doing is not best way to install VMware , but i am only a little step missing so someone open my eyes please... I did try some libraries converted to tgz package from: hxxp://rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/search.php?query=libgio-2.0.so.0
but not helped me. Guessing i am not skill enough to choose the right one.
If some additional info is needed i will post them.
Thanks for reply.
8 of July 2009, do not bother me anymore, using BackTrack Pre-Final, with blog patch everything is wonderful, VMware is running perfecly, this post can be only something like warning, that do not try run VMware on BackTrack 3 with modified kernel, it will be waste of time to try...

Well its been a while since i updated anything, havent done much on my helmet, but kept working on all the other parts of the outfit. Once I finally got some extra money to pick this project back up I havent stopped working yet. I got paint, and started painting up the armor, soon the gauntlets and helmet will be next. I found some 5 dollar boots i think will work great for the Boba Boots. Ive altered the jumpsuit, adding the pockets and sleeves, also making the belt pockets. Ive finished adding the detail onto the gauntlets, so i can lay down the silver undercoat. I started the jet pack but ran into some trouble trying to make the rocket out of the matte board. The innitial painting on the chest armor including the shoulders is done, I just need to add some weathering still on most pieces. I believe that should be everything, hopefully i can get more of these side projects done and post my results.
Thank you.

Protecting a third period lead has been a difficult task for the Buffalo Sabres this season. Just the night before, they blew a two-goal lead against the New York Rangers. The Rangers tied it up with only 8 seconds left. The Sabres threw a barrage of 49 shots at Ranger goalie Mike Richter, scoring only twice. The Sabres went against their norm Wednesday night in the nation's capital by scoring 4 times against their old-time tormentor, Olaf Kolzig, and cruised to a 5-2 victory over the Washington Capitals.

Several of the board members here met for dinner at WonderCon on Saturday night. Last year when we tried this we had 10 confirmations and only 4 people showed up so this year I kept the reservations down to 8 people. Thank goodness we had an extra table next to us that we could use because we ended up with 12 or 13 people there (sorry I lost count after the second Margarita).
Anyway, it was a fun night. Pennywise bought shots for several people. A few of us checked out the Masquerade after dinner. Sorry, didn't have my camera, so no pics to share.

AMES, Iowa — Water Rocks! hosted its first teacher Summit in June, with 28 Iowa K-12 teachers and high school students from nine school districts congregating in Ames. The group received information about some of the greatest environmental challenges faced today as well as innovative ways to teach about them.
The June 11-12 summit included expert presenters on topics including watersheds, water quality, climate change, soil and biodiversity as they pertain to Iowa. The Water Rocks! team also demonstrated the unique learning modules they have developed for teachers to use in the classroom.
The teachers were diverse in their disciplines and background knowledge. Several schools brought high school students with them so the students could become peer mentors in their district. Katie Stoll, a 4th grade teacher from Sacred Heart Elementary in Monticello, attended the summit to enhance her school's program. "We already have a unit on water conservation, and when I heard about the summit, I thought that it could tie into our curriculum," said Stoll. Many of the attendees were science teachers and shared a goal of improving their school's science program by strengthening their own knowledge of water issues.
Other attendees, like Gina Hemmer, a 6th grade reading and language teacher from Cascade, attended the summit because of her community's interest in water conservation. "Every year we do a walk-a-thon to raise money for third world countries with water shortages," says Hemmer. "We are always talking to our kids about water conservation."
Everyone discovered new ways to teach kids about water issues. The "learning by doing" approach was applied in full-force, as the teachers participated in the same activities that their students will be doing in the classroom — a relay race picking up fake dog waste to prevent it from mixing with rain water, learning new songs and playing Wetland Bingo.
Activities like these are integrated into the learning modules and the teachers agreed that they were the best part of the summit. Each school received a kit of supplies for several of the modules, which was especially important to Jody Barr, an instructor from a Newton elementary school's special education program. "The games are great because they add interactivity," says Barr. "And the modules were complete so they're ready for us to show the kids."
Over both days of the workshop, one message prevailed: educating today's youth about the importance of water will give them the knowledge to influence change when they become adult members of their communities.
Rick Cruse, ISU agronomy professor and Iowa Water Center director, was one of the summit presenters. "Water Rocks! is great because it communicates the message in a way that kids can understand and want to listen to," commented Cruse. "It's all about planting seeds of information, and if we can get these seeds to grow in children's minds, it will change the future for the better."
Water Rocks! plans to host a summit each summer, creating a network of educators who are knowledgeable about water issues in Iowa and can teach students in innovative ways.
To support this educational effort, contributions to Water Rocks! are accepted through the ISU Foundation.
For more information about Water Rocks! and the summit, go to www.waterrocks.org. Follow Water Rocks! on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. Partners of Water Rocks! are Iowa Department of Natural Resources (USEPA section 319), Iowa State University Extension and Outreach, Leopold Center for Sustainable Agriculture, Iowa Water Center and Iowa Learning Farms.

ARSC HPC Users' Newsletter 391, July 25, 2008

- Quick Tip
Tom Baring Passes the Editor's Torch
[ By: Tom Baring ]
Mike Ess emailed "ARSC T3D Users' Group Newsletter" issue #1 in August 1994. This was before ARSC had a web site.
The T3D, with 128 processors and total peak performance of, OMG, 19.2 gflops, was a source of pride, even if almost no one knew what to do with it.
T3D jobs were constrained to powers-of-two numbers of processors, and the machine lived as an unnamed appendage to "denali," the Y-MP M89, the largest memory shared-memory supercomputer at the time, with a whopping 8 GB!
This was only 14 years ago.
Then came the web edition of the T3D Newsletter, Mike left for Seattle , I became the editor (was beer involved?), then in 1997 the T3E (yukon) and Guy Robinson arrived. Guy became co-editor , and the "T3D Users' Group Newsletter" morphed into the "T3E Users' Newsletter".
The T3E was probably the best machine we ever had. Users loved the low latency, and even seven years later, in 2004, we had to chase them off with a broom before we could unplug it.
We'd had other machines to talk about during yukon's long life, though, including icehawk, iceflyer, iceberg, chilkoot, and rime (respectively, the SP3, P690+, P655+/P690+, J90/SV1/SV1e/SV1ex, and NEC, I mean Cray, SX-6) so, in 2000, with issue 201 , we promoted the "T3E" to the "HPC" newsletter.
Guy left for Japan , but Don Bahls stepped in to co-edit, we installed klondike (the Cray X1) and midnight (Sun Cluster) and this fall comes pingo (Cray XT5).
It's been great researching topics for articles, dreaming up contests and sending sourdough starter to the lucky winners, mailing letters from Santa at Christmas time, debating English usage with Guy and Don, turning user problems into quick-tips, and getting to know you readers.
Certain people are always good for a ZSH answer. Others only seem to know python!
My interests have moved sideways to web technologies, though, so while I'm still at ARSC and will definitely miss editing this newsletter, I'm happy to announce that Don has a new co-editor, ARSC HPC Specialist and Group Leader, Ed Kornkven. I'm confident they'll keep it informal and keep the focus on prompt sharing of information for the folks in the trenches, optimizing the loops, moving terabytes, and queuing the jobs.
Another PBS Dependencies Article
[By: Don Bahls]
We have done a few articles on how to set up job dependencies in PBS (See newsletters 319 , 320 and 322 ). Those articles gave an idea of the dependency options available in PBS and how to use them with job chaining. In this article we will take a look at a few ways you can script the setup of dependencies when you want to submit multiple jobs at once.
When you submit a job using the "qsub" command, PBS displays the jobid of the job.
mg56 % qsub myjob1.pbs 520613.mpbs1
Using the bash/ksh command substitution operator (i.e. $( command )) we can save the jobid that is returned from "qsub".
mg56 % jobid=$(qsub myjob1.pbs) # The variable $jobid is now set to the jobid. mg56 % echo $jobid 520616.mpbs1
Both csh and tcsh support command substitution with the "backtick" operator.
mg56 % set jobid=`qsub myjob1.pbs` mg56 % echo $jobid 520617.mpbs1
If you use the same type of dependency (e.g. "depend=afterok") for each job you can easily loop through the list of scripts to submit.
mg56 % more submit_jobs.bash #!/bin/bash jobid=""; for job in myjob1.pbs myjob2.pbs myjob3.pbs; do if [ "$jobid" = "" ]; then jobid=$(qsub $job) exit 1 echo "Submitting $job --" $jobid; else oldid=$jobid jobid=$(qsub -W depend=afterok:$jobid $job) exit 2 echo "Submitting $job --" $jobid " (dependent on $oldid)"; fi done
Notice, this short script uses the "afterok" dependency for each PBS script which makes things simpler. It also verifies that the job was successfully submitted. Running the script sets up the required dependencies for each job.
mg56 104% ./submit_jobs.bash Submitting myjob1.pbs -- 520630.mpbs1 Submitting myjob2.pbs -- 520631.mpbs1 (dependent on 520630.mpbs1) Submitting myjob3.pbs -- 520632.mpbs1 (dependent on 520631.mpbs1)
If you have more complicated dependencies, you might think about using a more sophisticated scripting language like perl or python, or abandon the complexity and list each script individually.
mg56 105% more submit_simple.bash #!/bin/bash jobid=$(qsub myjob1.pbs) exit 1 jobid=$(qsub -W depend=afterok:$jobid myjob2.pbs) exit 1 jobid=$(qsub -W depend=afterany:$jobid myjob3.pbs) exit 1 jobid=$(qsub -W depend=afterany:$jobid myjob4.pbs) exit 1

Quick-Tip Q & A
A:[[ When I do an "ls -lt" to see what directories are available, [[ I *frequently* want to "cd" into the directory which sorts to the [[ top of the listing. [[ [[ Is there a shortcut, so I can do this without typing the name of [[ the directory, or even worse, using a GUI interface? # # Ryan Czerwiec shared the following solution # Here's a command that could be aliased: cd `ls -lt grep "^d" head -1 awk '{print $NF}'` This will break if the directory name has spaces in it, but it's a good start and should cover most users. # # Rich Griswold offered this solution. # This appears to work: cd `ls -td */ head -1` However, it can give unexpected results if there are not subdirectories. It wouldn't be difficult to make this into a script with appropriate error handling. Q: I have a directory (with subdirectories) that has a bunch of duplicate files. These files could have the same contents, but not have the same filename. Is there a good way to identify files with identical contents without doing a diff on each pair of files?

Dr. Phil to air three-part interview with Michelle Knight
Michelle Knight, the first of three women abducted by Ariel Castro and held for over a decade, speaks out in an exclusive interview with Dr. Phil. As the first victim to break her silence, she makes never-before-heard revelations about what went on in Castro's Cleveland house of horrors.
This multi-part interview will air Monday, November 4, Tuesday, November 5 and Wednesday, November 6, 2013 on WKYC Channel 3.
According to Dr. Phil's press release about the upcoming episodes, "Knight recalls the day-to-day details of her decade in captivity in a manner than can be described as passionate, moving and poignant. She is the self-proclaimed, most hated victim in the house, and according to Knight, suffered the most abuse at the hands of Castro."
Knight was abducted on August 23, 2002 when she was 21 years old. In the following year, Knight was joined captivity by Amanda Berry in April, 2003 and then Gina DeJesus about a year later. The three escaped from Castro's home on May 6, 2013.
"Michelle Knight's story of horror and courageous survival almost defies description and has changed me like no other in 12 years of doing the show," Dr. Phil said. "Her dark journey from victim to victor is beyond compelling."
Ariel Castro pleaded guilty in late July to nearly 1000 criminal counts, which included murder and kidnapping, in order to avoid the death penalty. He was sentenced to life plus 1000 years. At his sentencing, Knight told Castro, "I spent 11 years in hell, now your hell is just beginning." A little over a month later, Ariel Castro was found dead, hanged in his cell in an apparent suicide.

Version 6.0.2
My initial impression of Mathematica Version 6.0.2 is a disappointment.
1) There is still no easy access to the list of 'standard packages' that
come with Mathematica. It quite difficult to find them. The 'Virtual Book'
that was posted on this group did have a list of these packages but the WRI
Virtual Book does not have them. (An indirect way to get links to standard
packages is to search *Package in the Documentation Center. But this gives a
lot of other stuff also.)
2) The worse new feature is that the palettes that come with Mathematica
will no longer remember their position and condition. If they are not where
you like them then each time you start up Mathematica you will either have
to live with it or adjust them anew. With 6.0 and 6.0.1 I was able to change
the preferences for the ColorScheme palette so it would remember its
condition. I can no longer do this and none of the other palettes remember
thier state either. (One improved feature is that the SpecialCharacters
palette will now directly paste instead of select and then paste.) If you
like to control where the palettes are stay with 6.0.1,
3) I was hoping that the Format/StyleSheet menu would put a check by the
current style sheet in use for a notebook but this still has not been fixed.
And aside from this we still don't have the ability to write Version 6 style

"We have had good retention and numerous players have redshirted the last three years," Lembo says. "As a result, we now have some depth in the program. Because of this, there should be a lot of intense competition for playing time this spring. Numerous student-athletes that have been role players in the past now have an opportunity to play a more meaningful role. Our focus this spring will be on allowing these position battles to play out in practice. We do not want to get bogged down with too much schematically. As always, there will be an emphasis on fundamentals and developing a strong knowledge of our systems. From there, we want to maximize repetitions to see who can excel when the lights go on."
Coach Lembo will conduct his Spring Practice press conference Tues., March 25 at noon at the Ball State Alumni Center. Fans can access the press conference live on BallStateSports.com
The Cardinals open the 2014 season with a Sat., Aug. 30, home game vs. Colgate, while its other non-conference games include at Iowa (Sept. 6), home with Indiana State (Sept. 13) and at Army (Oct. 4).
Ball State's spring practices are open to the public and traditionally the weekday sessions begin at 3:45 p.m., while the Saturday's start at 10 a.m. Days and times are subject to change, and for the best up-to-date practice schedule, contact the football office at 765.285.8251.

AMES, Iowa – Judges are needed for the State Science and Technology Fair of Iowa and FFA Agriscience Fair. The competitions will be held in Hilton Coliseum at Iowa State University on April 5.
Judges with majors, degrees or a background in science, engineering and/or technology are needed for the event. Typically the event spans two full days, but this year it will take place in one day, so more judges are needed.
SSTFI provides educational opportunities for students in grades 6 through 12, said Jay Staker, director of 4-H Science, Technology, Engineering and Math youth programs with Iowa State University Extension and Outreach. The science fair allows the students to interact with professionals. Judges can instruct these youth on how to become better scientists and engineers during the all-day event. They also choose the projects that will compete at the international level, and what projects will receive awards at the state level.
"Extension and Outreach sponsors SSTFI because of our commitment to providing STEM education to Iowa's young people," Staker said. "Our 4-H youth development programs always have included STEM activities with a solid focus on agricultural science, electricity, mechanics, entrepreneurship and natural sciences. Today, 4-H has grown to include rocketry, robotics, bio-fuels, renewable energy, computer science, environmental sciences and more. 4-H STEM provides hands-on learning experiences to help youth learn about the world in partnership with adults who care about youth learning and are crazy about STEM."
Staker said the SSTFI competitions help students better understand the scientific research process. Scholarships are given to project winners, and the impact is great.
"The scholarship I received at the State Science and Technology Fair of Iowa, made me want to continue on a science-based path in college," said Victoria Whitcomb, a sophomore in biology at Iowa State University. "Knowing that I received the scholarship because of my contribution to science has helped me appreciate my studies in science even more. And, being a woman in an underrepresented field of science, it is good to know that my contributions to science are not left unnoticed."
Several changes have been made to the judging format for the SSTFI, Staker said. Typically, training sessions are conducted the hour before the event, but this year judges will complete an orientation training session online prior to the event. The training session will highlight other changes made to the judging process this year.
To register as a judge or get more information, visit the SSTFI website, www.sciencefairofiowa.org.


text: If I were a coach not only I will say them, I will prepare them if something like this happened a competiton. For example Soloviev fell before their step sequence at GPF 2012. They continued their program. They lost timing and speed. Levels and GOE effected by this. You can see this if you look at the protocols. But if they were stopped and Soloviev says the referee something happened his legs after the fall, they will have 3 minutes and with that also speed and timing going into the steps. Skaters don't skate their full programs at training so its not that hard to skate after the break. Soloviev didn't do this so when you looked the protocols you see a mistake. You can't see this 4CC and WJC protocols.

Matthews, Gingrich, Hannity, others seize on new bin Laden tape to discredit war critics
Research ››› ››› ANDREW SEIFTER
Several media figures have used the release of Osama bin Laden's new audiotape to denounce critics of the Bush administration's conduct of the war in Iraq.
Several media figures have seized on Osama bin Laden's newly released audiotape to denounce critics of the Bush administration's conduct of the war in Iraq. Explicitly asserting comparisons between bin Laden and prominent war critics, including filmmaker Michael Moore and Democratic National Committee (DNC) chairman Howard Dean, MSNBC's Hardball host Chris Matthews and others are condemning legitimate dissent over the merits of the Iraq war and President Bush's actions in its prosecution. That dissent is now shared not just by such favorite conservative targets as Moore and Dean, but, now, by a plurality -- or even a majority -- of the American people. As Daou Report founder and editor Peter Daou wrote, in a January 19 entry at The Huffington Post weblog, in response to Matthews's comments linking bin Laden's statements to Moore:"[T]his is not just about Chris Matthews or Michael Moore or Osama Bin Laden, it's about the willingness of a prominent media figure to slander an opponent of the war."
An exchange between former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich (R-GA) and Fox News host Sean Hannity on the January 19 edition of Hannity & Colmes illustrates how conservatives have attempted to use the bin Laden tape to condemn debate about the war. While Gingrich prefaced his comments by referencing the importance of "open debate," he asserted that the bin Laden tape proves that terrorists "take a great deal of comfort when they see" politicians and other critics like Moore "attacking United States policies." Hannity added that the purported resemblance between bin Laden's comments and those of Democratic members of Congress illustrates how the Democrats have "undermined this war."
From the January 19 edition of Fox News' Hannity & Colmes:
GINGRICH: I think it's quite clear as you point out, Sean, that from this tape, that bin Laden and his lieutenants are monitoring the American news media, they're monitoring public opinion polling, and I suspect they take a great deal of comfort when they see people attacking United States policies. That doesn't mean we shouldn't be a free society and have open debate, but we should recognize, when some of our politicians use very extreme language or some of our celebrities -- like Michael Moore -- use very extreme language, that the enemy does, in fact, take great comfort from that.
HANNITY: It's more than that. I think it's also the leaders in the Democratic Party that, from the very beginning, have undermined this war. If I were to give you a quiz, Mr. Speaker, and if I would say to you, "You know, was it [Sen.] Ted Kennedy [D-MA], [House Democratic Leader] Nancy Pelosi [D-CA], [Rep.] John Murtha [D-PA] who said, 'George Bush gives continuous, deliberate misinformation. Polls reveal that we want to withdraw from Iraq.' " You would have guessed either of -- any of those. Well, it was bin Laden who said that.
As Hannity's remark indicates, many of the comparisons focused on the usual progressive targets from the 2004 election campaign such as Moore and Dean, while others linked bin Laden to war critics who have more recently gained attention, like Murtha, who issued a plan to withdraw U.S. forces from Iraq in November.
For example, on the January 19 edition of Hardball, Matthews said that bin Laden "sounds like an over-the-top Michael Moore, if not a Michael Moore." On that evening's edition of MSNBC's Scarborough Country, host Joe Scarborough said that bin Laden's comments "were awfully close to some of the president's detractors," including Moore, Murtha, Dean, Kennedy, and Sen. John Kerry (D-MA). Scarborough Country guest and fellow MSNBC host, Tucker Carlson, added that the bin Laden tape is "not an Islamic tape, it's a propaganda tape parroting the DNC." He continued: "I hate to think of Osama bin Laden reclining in his cave in Waziristan [Pakistan] reading the op-ed page of The New York Times, but clearly he is. He's got every talking point." Additionally, a January 20 editorial by the New York Post asked: "Who writes his [bin Laden] stuff -- Howard Dean? John Murtha? Sure sounds like it."
Similarly, on the January 19 edition of Fox News' Big Story with John Gibson, former New York City Police commissioner Bernard Kerik said of bin Laden: "Basically, he's following the Democratic frontline." Big Story host, John Gibson, declared: "bin Laden told us today that our far left has been working for him." Noting that bin Laden said that polling shows, in Gibson's words, that "American support for the war [is] waning and that some Americans want a pullout from Iraq," he added: "It's their [the "far left"] poll results he quotes." In fact, while polling results are indeed mixed on whether and when Americans would like the United States to withdraw from Iraq, most polls -- conducted not by the "far left" but by major newspapers and polling organizations -- show that a plurality, or even majority, of Americans disapprove of the Bush administration's conduct of the war and believe it was a mistake to undertake the war in the first place.
For example, a CBS News poll conducted January 5-8 found that 58 percent of Americans "disapprove of the way George W. Bush is handling the situation with Iraq" compared with 37 percent who approve. A USA Today/CNN/Gallup poll (subscription required) conducted December 16-18 found that 56 percent of respondents believe Bush does not "have a plan that will achieve victory for the United States in Iraq" compared with 42 percent who believe he does.
Polls also show that a plurality, or majority, of Americans now believe the war was a mistake in the first place. For example, a USA Today/CNN/Gallup poll (subscription required) conducted January 6-8 found that 52 percent of Americans believe it was not "worth going to war in Iraq," while 46 percent believe it was. That poll also found that 50 percent believe sending troops to Iraq was "a mistake," while 47 percent do not. Similarly, the CBS News poll conducted January 5-8 also found that 49 percent of respondents believe the United States "should have stayed out" of Iraq compared with 47 percent who believe the war was warranted. Finally, a Pew Research Center for the People and the Press poll conducted January 4-8 found that 47 percent of Americans believe the war in Iraq was the "wrong decision" compared with 45 percent who believe it was the "right decision."

I thought I had read somewhere on these forums about people using a different pulley. Maybe I'm mistaken.The cost of this stuff is crazy. Approx - Rear Pulley $754, drive belt $583, front pulley $209.I can't believe drive belts are $583. Snowmobile belts are generally $75-175.
I have corrected my earlier post (#51) on this thread. If you replace your Raider's stock, 66T, rear pully, with a 61T rear pully, you will need a 130T belt. In theory, dropping 6T on the rear pulley, would require a 129T belt, which isn't made. A 128T belt will be too short, and a 132T might be too long. So, a 130T should be just right. It's knid of like the Three Bears story.The reason I came up with a 132T belt, for a 61T rear pulley, was the fact that the Strat. runs a 136T belt, with a 70T rear pulley, and the Raider runs a 134T belt, with a 66T rear pulley. So, it would seem that a reduction of 4T on the pully would equal a 2T reduction on the belt. However, I think this might be more of a coincidenza, since Yamaha is the only company that I can find, that makes 134 and 136T belts.I didn't want someone to purchase the wrong belt, due to the posting of mis-information on my part

Hello Everyone!
I thought it was about time I stopped lurking and finally said "Hello" to everyone. My name is David Murphy (but you can call me David, Dave, Murph) and I am from Coolidge, Arizona. I used to belong to this site way back when it was called "As You Wish". I had "completed" my ROTJ suit back then in 2002; it was "good enough" at that time to me and I moved on. However, I've watched this site off-and-on over the years and have simply been amazed at the level of quality, information, and ingenuity that has been displayed here. It was finally enough to kick me in the rear, realize how much I fell short and needed to improve on my suit to even hope to reach the standards that are set today. And as before, I've gotten alot of good advice from this site that has already helped me out; thank you everyone!
One challenge I've always had was making a set of chest armor my size. I'm 6'4" and most of the templates out there I've printed off seem scaled alittle small for me. I've tried some vac armor made by some talented people here yet still the same results; great armor but too small for my chest. Since I don't have any vacuforming skill I've resorted to trying to make my armor out of sentra. Below is my latest set I've made. It's seems closer to the right size than I've done before, yet still seems alittle too big. But I keep hoping one day I'll get it right
(BTW: the chest lights are by Fettronics, which are awesome! Jon is not only really talented but a great guy to deal with too)
Anyway, I've rambled on enough. Take care everyone!

While it's not a major we offer, because RWU is small enough, Melisa was able to create her own, truly interdisciplinary major with courses in business, education, anthropology/sociology and psychology. She took internships with RWU administrators, became an RA, was a member of the Multicultural Student Union and SAFE, on the Bias Response Team and a PEER educator. The result? Melisa had her choice of seven graduate programs, and chose Michigan State—one of the top schools in the country for Student Affairs Administration. After graduating from MSU and moving back to RI in 2013, she was immediatley hired by one of our neighboring institutions.

Buddhist New Year's Blessing sticker (free order) for 2014 / 2557
All people wish for themselves good fortune and blessings for the new year. When we frequently remember (anussati) the Awakened One (the Buddha), his Teaching (the Dhamma) and the Monastic Community of the Nobles (the Sangha) and thus increasingly realize their importance for us and our lives, the karmic result thereof can only again lead to good fortune and blessings. In order to assist all people to obtain this blessing for their life, the Buddhist Monastery of Freising has referred to the local German traditional blessings, based on this ancient tradition, designed a Buddhist house blessing for the new year. The monastery gives away this blessing free of charge in the form of a printed sticker to all people, either for their private usage or for the distribution to those who are dear to them. May the Triple Gem – the Buddha, the Dhamma and the Sangha – offer protection to you all throughout the new year and assist you with advice and guidance in overcoming all difficulties and adversities!
is the new year according to the Buddhist calendar, equaling 2014 in the Christian tradition. Buddhists started to count from the passing away of the Buddha, who died at the age of 80. He awakened as a Buddha at the age of 35 and taught in India for 45 years.
The Dhamma Wheel (dhamma-chakka) symbolizes with its eight spokes the Noble Eightfold Path – the way taught by the Buddha to liberate oneself from all problems, starting from the small difficulties in daily life up to the great questions about our existence
The Triple Gem are taken as a refuge by Buddhists: Buddha (the Awakened One) + Dhamma (his teachings) + Sangha (the monastic order)

Social Distortion
Social Distortion took an extended hiatus following the release of Somewhere Between Heaven and Hell, returning in 1996 with White Light, White Heat, White Trash, which proved to be a moderate hit on MTV and modern-rock radio; former Black Flag and D.O.A. drummer Chuck Biscuits made his debut on the album, following the departure of Reece. Live at the Roxy followed in 1998, and a year later Ness issued a pair of solo albums, Cheating at Solitaire and the covers collection Under the Influences. Danell died February 29, 2000 of an apparent brain aneurysm; the guitarist was just 38-years-old. In the fall of 2000, Jonny Wickersham signed on as the group's new guitarist, and Charlie Quintana took over on drums from the often busy Biscuits. After extensive touring, the band went back into the studio in 2004 to record Sex, Love and Rock 'n' Roll. Another six years passed before Social D returned to recording. Produced by Mike Ness himself, 2011's glossy-but-muscular Hard Times and Nursery Rhymes featured a new lineup, with bassist Brent Harding and the son of Los Lobos' David Hidalgo, drummer David Hidalgo Jr. joining Wickersham and Ness. ~ Steve Huey

Hello everybody!
I am a newbie and I have a great dilemma: can I rely solely on the Teacher's Guide rather then drafting my own lesson plan for a lesson in a coursebook? I mean I am not underestimating the importance of lesson planning, but since the Teacher's guide purpose is the same as that of a lesson plan, am I committing a crime by not writing my lesson plan? I need to know whether I might be graded know because of this in case of inspection for instance.
Thanks a lot.

Childhood ADHD May Last Into Adulthood
If a child is diagnosed with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), will he or she eventually outgrow it or continue with the condition into adulthood?
A new study shows that nearly 30% will continue to struggle with ADHD, and may develop other mental health issues.
"We suffer from the misconception that ADHD is just an annoying childhood disorder thats over treated," researcher William Barbaresi, MD, of Boston Childrens Hospital, says in a prepared statement. "This couldnt be further from the truth. We need to have a chronic-disease approach to ADHD as we do for diabetes. The system of care has to be designed for the long haul."
The study included 5,700 adults. Two groups were created: one group had been diagnosed during childhood with ADHD, and the other group grew up without ADHD.
Out of 367 participants who had childhood ADHD, 232 were followed into adulthood. At age 27, nearly 30% had adult ADHD.
Researchers also found that nearly 57% of the adults with childhood ADHD had at least one other mental health issue. 35% of the adults without childhood ADHD also had one or more mental health issues.
Substance abuse or dependence (26%), antisocial personality disorder (17%), other substance abuse/dependence (16%), hypomanic episodes (15%), anxiety disorder (14%) and major depression (13%) were the most common mental health issues experienced by adults diagnosed with childhood ADHD.
The researchers noted that death from suicide was nearly five times higher in this group.
Among all 367 adults with childhood ADHD, seven (1.9%) had died, three of them from suicide. Of 4,946 people without ADHD, only 37 (0.7%) had died, five by suicide.
Ten people whod had childhood ADHD (2.7%) were in jail at the time of recruitment for the study.
This study "speaks to the need to greatly improve the long-term treatment of children with ADHD and provide a mechanism for treating them as adults," researcher Slavica Katusic, MD, of the Mayo Clinic, in Rochester, Minn., says in a prepared statement.
"Stimulant medications used to treat ADHD in children are also effective in adults, although adults tend not to be treated and may not be aware they have ADHD," Barbaresi says.
While the findings are very helpful in recognizing the need for long-term treatment of children diagnosed with ADHD, its important to also remember that although nearly 30% of the childhood ADHD cases continued into adulthood, 71% did not. Also, mental health problems are not limited to adults who were diagnosed with ADHD as a child, According to the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), a little over 26 % of Americans ages 18 and older suffer from a diagnosable mental disorder in a given year.
No one knows for sure what causes ADHD, but current research shows that genetics play an important role. Many times symptoms can be managed by a combination of behavioral therapy and medication.
When it comes to treatment, ADHD warrants the same approach as chronic health problems such as diabetes, Barbaresi says. In those cases, "when a child is diagnosed, we immediately institute strategies aimed at keeping the child engaged in appropriate treatment for the long haul."
For many reasons, including "a huge problem with regard to health care coverage of appropriate assessment and treatment ... that's not really happening at a systematic level with ADHD," he says.
Having a child with ADHD can put a strain on the family but there are steps parents can take to help restore a sense of calmness in the home.
One of the most important steps is to have your child professionally diagnosed. There isnt a single medical or physical test for diagnosing ADD/ ADHD and thats why a doctor or health professional will need to be involved. Just because it looks like ADD/ADHD doesnt mean it is, so getting a thorough assessment and diagnosis is important. Qualified professionals trained in diagnosing ADD/ADHD can include clinical psychologists, physicians, or clinical social workers.
If your child is diagnosed with ADHD dont wait to start treatment, the earlier the better.
Even when you feel overwhelmed, you must take care of yourself, eat right and find ways to reduce stress. Seek support when you need it and take breaks " friends and family can often be a valuable resource.
Yes, some children diagnosed with ADHD will continue to have it into adulthood and they are at a higher risk for other mental health problems, but early treatment and arming yourself with the latest information on ADHD treatment and research will help prepare you and your child for a better outcome.
The study is published in the journal Pediatrics.

That's right, I'm putting one in my boat and just that... Who else has done this!? Anyone?
That's right, I'm putting one in my boat and just that... Who else has done this!? Anyone?
could be cool, imo waste of a good motor though personally. i'd put it in a smaller car, or maybe take the tranny too and mount all of it to a shifter kart
While the engine us out you should bolt on two turbos!!!!
Looks like a good idea. I just have a couple of questions. Is your boat inboard or I/O. How will the transmission hook up. Most boats have chevy or ford trans. How will you cool it. Raw water or raw to fresh exchange.What motor is in it now? What about motor mounts. I'm not knocking your idea at all. I seen all kinds of motors go into things they don't belong in. I just want to see how its going to be done. With having to run an ECU and all it looks like a ton of work. Good luck keep us posted.
first things first in this.... i am getting all the junk floor out and everything all cleaned up then i can go back with new. the boat is an I/O 1973 Glastron V187 that i think HAD a Merc inline 4, when i got the boat it had no engine. but it has the merc outdrive so im guessing that the engine was as well.
the hard part is going to be the fly will to outdrive. the engine that i got was an auto so that will help me with the fact that autos have a flex plate with the 3 bolt holes. i am going to make a plate with spacers from the Audi flywheel out about 1 1/2 in. maybe 2in. and have in the center a bolt pattern that is the same as a chevy or a ford crankshaft and use
i think it will work out. it looks great in my head!!! but you know how that goes.
as for the cooling system that shouldnt be that hard, the outdrive has a water pump in it to source water from the lake and i just have to hose it up! then take the pipes on the back of the head and weld up all the heater hose and expansion tank stuff so i can have one in and one out.
engine mounts arent going to be that bad... just make a cage from 1"x1" alum or steel and weld up some brackets to bolt to the block. i will be using the factory mounts but the bank 1 side of the enigne the bracket will just have to be made. as for the bank 2 side that bracket will work fine, for now.... we'll see when i get i in there.
