Royce White's 18 helps Iowa State stun No. 5 Kansas
AMES, Iowa -- They stormed the court again at Hilton Coliseum, just like the olden days when current coach Fred Hoiberg was among Iowa State's players providing fans reason to celebrate.
"Hilton Magic was definitely in full effect," Hoiberg said after a 72-64 upset of fifth-ranked Kansas before a celebratory sellout of 14,376.
It was in such effect that Kansas players were forced to take an alternate route to the locker room. It was in such effect that referee Darron George hurt a wrist trying to battle his way off the floor.
BOX SCORE: Iowa St. 72, Kansas 64
VIDEO: Iowa State-Kansas highlights
PHOTOS: Top shots from college hoops action
"We were all right," said Iowa State star Royce White, who hopes for another crowd eruption after Tuesday's 8 p.m. home game against No. 22 Kansas State. "We got over to the sidelines and out of the way, but I wanted to rush in there and party with them."
Iowa State's first home win against a Top Five team since a 69-65 upset of No. 3 Kansas on Jan. 14, 1995, even included consecutive free-throw successes by White with 1:47 to play, which improved the Cyclones' lead to 67-59.
"I woke up this morning dreaming about missing free throws," said White, a 41.7 percent free-throw shooter in Big 12 Conference games.
He went to bed after having helped the Cyclones end a 13-game losing streak against the Jayhawks — lending a gigantic hand in a victory that stands as the most significant in Hoiberg's 53 games as a head coach.
"I've said it all along — they're definitely an NCAA Tournament team," said Kansas coach Bill Self, whose Jayhawks were one of three teams entering the season with two or less road losses since the beginning of 2010-11.
"Fred's done a nice job in a short amount of time, and they've got a matchup that not too many people have."
That's the 6-foot-10, 270-pound White, who scored 18 points and whose nine rebounds were important in Iowa State's 36-23 board advantage.
"He's been around the NBA," Self added. "He probably coaches a bad matchup better than anybody in the country, because that's the way they do it in the league."
White was at his best after the Cyclones led 56-53 with 6:07 to play, scoring eight points in a row during a stretch that included Iowa State scoring on its final eight possessions.
"It was the plan coming out of a timeout," White said. "We went into a power set. I worked the block."
Iowa State improved its records to 15-6 overall and 5-3 in the conference, while Kansas fell to 17-4 and 7-1.
Melvin Ejim scored 15 points, grabbed eight rebounds and helped hold Thomas Robinson to 13 points and seven rebounds, four points and five rebounds below his double-double averages.
"I'm just not playing my game," said Robinson, who scored 11 points and grabbed 14 rebounds in Kansas' 82-73 win against the Cyclones on Jan. 14. "They got a lot of second-chance points, and they capitalized on them.
"That's what it came down to — they outplayed us in that part of the game."
Rebounds are about hustle, and that also showed up on loose balls Saturday.
"Our team is pretty good if we get 70 percent of the 50-50 balls," Self said. "If we don't, we get average very fast. Iowa State was quicker to the ball."
The quickest was reserve guard Tyrus McGee, who scored eight points, grabbed six rebounds and kept many other possessions alive with deflections in 22 stellar minutes.
"McGee kept balls alive with his quickness," Self said. "You expect White to get rebounds, but I thought their guards did a good job, too."
Iowa State led 37-34 at halftime, and this time it led to success.
The Cyclones lost games in which they led Kansas by three points and Missouri by two at the break. They withstood Saturday, although the Jayhawks led 47-41 after a 13-3 scoring spree early in the second half.
"The first few minutes of the second half was disappointing," Hoiberg said.
It was a problem until Iowa State turned loose balls into scoring possessions that included a 3-point basket by Anthony Booker, and until the Cyclones made eight free throws in a row before Scott Christopherson missed with 15 seconds to play.
"Playing in the NCAA Tournament is a goal of ours, no doubt about it," Christopherson said. "If you want to play in the NCAA Tournament, you have to beat some of the best teams in the country, but at the same time, we're not going to get into the NCAA Tournament with just five league wins."
The crowd stormed the floor, hugging any Cyclone player they could reach, including Royce White, who made two free throws with 1:47 to play. He's a 53-percent free throw shooter.
The Cyclones improved their records to 5-3 in the Big 12 and 15-6 overall, while Kansas fell to 17-4 and 7-1.

Imagine these fine ass milfs dressing up in skimpy clothing with their tits and ass hanging out trying to get some needed attention. They jump on their bicycle riding around the neighborhood and make a wrong turn! Oh no, now a big dicked young stud see some pretty white flesh in his hood showing it off? Well that's when it gets good! The bikes are now the property of the hood and if these white women want it back they better be ready to give up some pussy or else!

"After Dr. Rosa unintentionally found a blueprint for new designs, mistaking it for a treasure map, Dessi along with his 5 other siblings, Brandon, Rosa, Hailey, Billison, and Jet set out to see where this map takes them. Unknowing to them, it will lead them into a encounter with the most fearsome robotics otherwise known as the Midnight Army."
Like I said in the previous blog, Five Nights At Frisky's 19: Dessi gains 1 Subscriber belongs to SpringThing14, I only own the enemies for it. For the story, I only own the story idea and my characters.
Here is a small slip from the story,
"Uh guys?" Rosa said with fear in her voice. Dessi turns around to ask what did she found when he spots it himself.
Now if you excuse me, I got a story to finish! (Here's a picture from the game page!)

Published: September 16, 2008 at 1:42 PMFWIW, Dollywood is top of my list of parks (outside of my regular SoCal/Orlando rotation) that I really want to go visit and do some first-person reporting at next year. I need to kick myself in the rear and find a way to make that trip happen, though. There's not really an easy, cheap non-stop flight between Knoxville and L.A. that I've found, unfortunately. ;-)
Published: September 16, 2008 at 2:57 PMHey, Robert, do you know of any rumors or truths on new SF coasters, anywhere? I saw an article in the paper over the summer on that SF is now more for the younger kids, like family stuff. So, They're trying not to put in any big or good coasters, and maybe not any this year... Can you tell me if you ever get an update?
I was thinking, what about the '08 season? They had Goliath at one of the SF parks in Texas, and Evel Knievel at SFSt.L... Thanks!
Published: September 16, 2008 at 7:06 PMIf you can find a better flight, Robert, take a look at Silver Dollar City in Branson, Missouri. It is owned by the same folks who own Dollywood, and the park is beautiful, customer friendly, has some great attractions, delicious food, toe-tapping good shows, and is worth a couple days of your time. Combine SDC with its sister park, Celebration City (more of a midway park for kids - sadly), and a separate, but fully featured water park called White Water, then you have a vacation destination. Not to mention all the Branson shows and the beautiful Table Rock lake to boot.
Anyway, you don't have to go all the way to Knoxville to get a taste of Dollywood - check out Silver Dollar City, it is definitely worth your time/money.

New Hampshire Senate Passes Bill to Protect LGBTQ Youth from 'Conversion Therapy'
Last night, the New Hampshire Senate passed a bill to protect LGBTQ youth from the dangerous and discredited practices of so-called "conversion therapy." House Bill 1661 prohibits licensed mental health providers from providing "conversion therapy" to individuals below the age of eighteen. The bill must now pass a conference committee. If signed into law, New Hampshire will become the seventh jurisdiction to enact a law protecting youth from "conversion therapy"—and the second to do so this year.
California, Illinois, New Jersey, Oregon and Washington, D.C. currently have laws that protect LGBTQ minors from "conversion therapy" and more than 20 states introduced similar legislation this year. Following an executive action from Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo, New York is also adopting regulations to protect youth from "conversion therapy."
Last month, the Vermont legislature passed a bill to protect LGBTQ youth from these abusive practices, which the governor is expected to sign into law.
In February, HRC, the National Center for Lesbian Rights (NCLR) and the Southern Poverty Law Center filed a historic federal consumer fraud complaint against a major provider of "conversion therapy," urging the Federal Trade Commission to take enforcement action against the organization and all practitioners engaging in similar fraudulent advertising and business practices.
"Conversion therapy," sometimes referred to as "sexual orientation change efforts" or "reparative therapy," is a range of practices that seek to change an individual's sexual orientation or gender identity or expression. These practices are based on the false premise that being LGBTQ is a mental illness that needs to be cured, a theory that has been rejected by every major medical and mental health organization for decades.
There is no credible evidence that "conversion therapy" can change a person's sexual orientation or gender identity or expression. To the contrary, research has clearly shown that these practices pose devastating health risks for LGBTQ young people. Use of these dangerous practices lead to depression, decreased self-esteem, substance abuse, homelessness, and even suicidal behavior, which is why they are universally criticized by the American Psychiatric Association, American Psychological Association, and American Medical Association.
NCLR and HRC have partnered with state equality groups across the nation to pass state legislation to end this dangerous practice.
More information on the lies and dangers of efforts to change sexual orientation or gender identity can be found here.


text: By Matt Hamblen and Nancy Gohring Hewlett-Packard Co. 's planned $1.2 billion purchase of Palm Inc. will prove successful. In fact, an IDC research note gives it only a one in four chance of working out. At the close of the deal, expected by July 31, HP will gain a struggling smartphone business and the means to create a tablet to take on Apple Inc.'s iPad , though such a project would take at least a year. "HP needs a strong presence in mobile, but Palm doesn't deliver that," said Charles Golvin, an analyst at Forrester Research Inc. Golvin said HP would have been better off -- and spent a lot less -- by simply trying to hire away Palm's top engineers. By acquiring the company, HP gets the Palm brand and its intellectual property, neither of which it needs, he said. And, Golvin added, Palm's WebOS mobile operating system is probably not "viable in the long term in the face of competition." Analysts also cited the smartphone makers's lack of success in Europe, and the dearth of WebOS applications -- fewer than 4,000 apps have been developed for Palm's operating system, while 150,000-plus iPhone apps are now available through Apple's App Store. Gartner Inc. estimates Palm's share of the U.S. smartphone market to be 4.3% and its European share a barely visible 0.2%. Nonetheless, the combined company will have to quickly find ways to better compete worldwide against handhelds running Google Inc. 's increasingly popular Android mobile operating system, market leader Nokia Corp.'s top-selling Symbian-based devices and the iPhone. After announcing late last month that the deal had been struck, HP executives said the company will quickly increase Palm's $190 million research and development budget while funding new sales and marketing activities.

2008 Ford Mustang Questions
Get answers to questions about your 2008 Ford Mustang at RepairPal. Find solutions, diagnose problems and get back on the road.Refine by vehicle
Looking for the location of the orifice tube.
Battery going dead a couple times. Replaced alternator and had to replace it again. Shop said it needed a harmonic balancer. Alternator plus balancer is $1250
It started doing this a couple of months ago but stopped when i installed a new battery. Two weeks ago it started again. It is a brief honk everytime i start the car but startles anyone that happens to be standing nearby.
it only does it when i am comming to a stop.
My 08 4.0 v6 mustang shut down on highway just after engaging cruise control. It will not restart. The motor cranks, tries to start, then makes cough or backfire at throttle body.
over and turn car off smoke was coming from hood and a lock symbol started flashing does this mean i locked my engine up? :(
I recently bought a 08 mustang gt. The hot weather in AZ killed the battery, after replacing the battery the aftermarket security system that was installed by the previous owner tripped. Now when ever i turn on my car or open/close any door, hood and trunk all my lights start flashing and dont stop for about 5 minutes. It will randomly start flashing all the lights while driving unless i turn the headlights all teh way on. I've tried removing and putting the battery back in with no luck of it disabling the alarm. I brought to dealership and they wont do anything about it. I dont have a key dongle for the car nor do I know the brand of the alarm system. If any one can provide some incite on how to shut this off it would be much appreciated.
clicking noise every time you start the car, not coming from the starter but from the middle of the dashboard
Don't have an electronic display
Ford Dealership claime it was my tires. I purchased new ones. Then they said I needed an alignement so I had one done. Then they replaced my two rear axles but the noise of a thump thump can be heard from the rear.

American stock indexes slightly changed yesterday in connection with the publication of an important US labor market report in September (12:30 GMT). In case of a strong statistics, the probability of the Fed raising interest rates will rise, which is negatively displayed on the dynamics of American stock markets. Rising oil prices and positive statistics on the number of the unemployment claims in the US, which decreased to 249 thousand, against the forecast of 255 thousand, could not lead to continued growth on the markets. On Monday, in the US will be a day off. After a long consolidation, we expect a strong price movement and maintain the medium-term negative outlook.
European stock indexes today are near the previous close due to the expectation of statistics on the US labor market. The positive data on industrial production in Germany, which rose by 2.5% in August after falling by 1.5% in June, could not lead to an increase in prices. It is worth noting that a similar measure in the UK fell by 0.4%. The sharp drop on the British pound has increased the attractiveness of British assets that have become cheaper. We maintain our medium-term negative outlook for European markets and expect a strong price movement in the near future.
Markets in the Asia-Pacific region fell slightly today before the publication of news on the US labor market. It is worth noting that the Japanese market corrected after growing during the previous four sessions. The rising correction of the yen was also negatively displayed on the Japanese market. On Monday in Japan will be a day off, but Chinese investors will return to the market after a long holidays. The fall of the yen could be a support for the Japanese market in the near future. We forecast a drop on the stock markets in the region and we expect a price reduction in the near future.

The More of Myth: A Pedagogy of Diversion by Mary Aswell Doll
English | June 17, 2011 | ISBN: 9460914446 | 174 Pages | PDF | 1.32 MB
This book uses a nine-year experience of teaching world mythology to art students in order to discuss why and how such ancient stories provide significance today.
Myth's weird images and metaphors recall Wyrd (Word), the goddess of the cauldron. Students can be guided into the cauldron of mythic language to feel the stirring of new awareness of what it really means to be human. Psychologically, myth offers insights into family relations, memory, imagination, and otherness. Ecological insights from myth teach the connection among human-animal-plant relations and the organicism of all life forms. Cosmological insights from myth surprisingly echo findings in new science, with its emphasis on quantum mechanics, force fields, black holes, subatomic particles, chaos, and the possibilities of time travel. Two areas often considered completely opposite -- myth and science-actually reflect one another, since both propose theories, albeit in different ways. Myth cannot be laughed away as "mere" fabula, since, like science and psychology, it has long explored adventures into unseen, unknown worlds that yield necessary knowledge about the place of humans in the scheme of things big and small. The "more" of myth will be of interest to teachers and students of curriculum studies, to those seeking to go beyond Oedipus and Gutenberg, and to readers who know that all forms of life (including fingernails and rocks) are wondrous, diverse, alive, capable, purposive, and necessary.

As a part of their job, the Finance Officer is responsible for taking control of the Union's entire budget and helps to regulate the finances (expenditure and income) of all of the Committees. They themselves run a Financial Committee to assist them in their duties.
- Activities & Entertainment Officer
This role is effectively hosting events and activities at the college, as well as liaising with outside bodies to promote external events. He/she runs an Activities Co-ordination Committee to help them in their duties, and they also help to co-ordinate the Student Ambassadors.
- Welfare Officer
The Welfare Officer liaises primarily with Open Door and helps/counsels students who have welfare problems, as well as campaigns and promotes awareness of welfare issues that are agreed by the Executive. To this end, they also run a Safeguarding and Welfare Committee to assist them where possible.
The Student Assembly
The Student Assembly is the main body that represents the interests of the collective Student Union. Any student is able to join it, as it is the umbrella term for all the different distinct student groups that help to improve the college. Primarily, it's composed of:
- Committees: groups that deal with specific subjects, such as Finance, that are permanent and monitor certain areas of Assembly or Union concern.
- Working Groups: a short-lived working team that is set up by an elected officer to serve a specific concern or objective, such as the staffing of an event.
In addition to this, members of the Assembly are diversified into:
- Representatives: any student who wishes to join the Assembly. They are primarily the members who join Committees and Working Groups.
- Ambassadors: students that specifically want to help staff events, but aren't particularly interested in elections and standing for office etc.
It's possible that a student can be two, or all three of these roles at the same time – but it isn't necessary.
If you're interested in taking part in the Students' Union, please contact us using the details below.
If you're interested in becoming Student Ambassador, please contact Engagement and Enrichment Manager, Lee Speight, on firstname.lastname@example.com

text: earned income tax credit State democrats push for boost in low-income tax credit By Rebecca Thiele • Feb 27, 2013 Michigan governor Rick Snyder says a tax credit for low income residents is redundant. According to Interlochen Public Radio, state democrats want to revitalize the Earned Income Tax Credit, which has faced significant budget cuts in the past few years. But Snyder says residents with low wages already receive the credit.

Returning with our series Secrets of Success, we're interview inspiring individuals that have that thing we're all looking for – a dream job. Whether it's a full-time thing or a moonlit gig, we want to know the passions that drive them.
Today we're talking to accessory designer Khoi Le. As a leather expert, Khoi can take all of your animal skin purse fantasies, give them cleaner designs, up their functionality and then make a few dozen iterations, all in a week. A destination brand at American Two Shot and Fivestory, the beautiful utility of his backpacks, travel bags, clutches and trays are true collectors items. We met in his Bay Area studio and caught up with the powerhouse about old copies of Architectural Digest, and his love for the backpack.
The icebreakers: Where are you from? How long have you been pursuing your dream occupation?
I grew up in Vietnam and moved to the Bay Area when I was six. I have been actively working for three years. Inactively, or subliminally, since I was 14. I design and produce leather goods and wares that I can make anywhere, depending on whether I can get my hands on some raw materials and a sewing machine, but preferably at home in Los Gatos or in New York.
What was the first step in launching your own company? On a scale of one to ten how hard was it?
The first step was finally taking the hint from so many people that believed I had a good thing going — I was super passive at first, and more or less fell into it, admitting that designing leather goods was something I would do a for a great deal of time. Actually launching my own company wasn't the easiest thing, because it wasn't initially in my grand-scheme-of-things plan. But on a scale, I'd say a 6.5.
Where do you consistently find inspiration for your collections?
Tumblr. More specifically Tumblr photos of interior spaces. Actually, a whole lot of interiors sourced from old issues of Architectural Digest really illustrate the story of the Khoi Le "person" for me. It really helps filling in the gaps in a collection, or details and sensibilities of the pieces, when you see the other objects that the people you design for are probably living with already.
Why do you love backpacks so much?
For utility reasons, because it's hands free. And for reasons of ease: it looks like you don't care, but you do. It has the super easy "collegiate" feel of when you were a kid, except now you probably have grown-up shit in your backpack.
What adult things are in your backpack now?
Now, as opposed to my fifth grade self, I tend to need to carry less things. Then it would probably be filled with unstapled unbindered papers flying around, lots of doodles and goofing off sketches of purses and handbags. Now it's still the same amount of sketches and fly-away papers, but I only carry a bag if I ever feel like I need to look like I'm going somewhere or doing something important. Nothing in my bag these days really needs to be toted around, unless I'm going to the factory or suppliers to make more bags.
Are you in pursuit of ultimate greatness, or are you excited to add to the collective repertoire?
My initial intention in doing what I do is to simply have these products exist. If it doesn't raise the level of quality, or elevate the taste of the zeitgeist, then at least for my sake they exist in an aesthetic self-actualizing process for my selfish needs. I think, however, I have an expectation that what I am building today will grow into an empire tomorrow, and if these two end up walking hand-in-hand into the horizon, I won't be mad.
Who's your favorite game changer, and what one question would you ask them?
I remember listening to a podcast on NPR which featured Ina Garten, of "The Barefoot Contessa" fame. It chronicles her journey from the office of Management and Nuclear Budget at the White House, to purchasing her own specialty food stores in East Hampton. My question for her would be, "Do you hand mash the Cauliflower puree, or do you just puree it?" I'm always looking for the best consistency.

Center of Pressure
Hi All,
I would like to calculate the center of pressure (X,Y,Z) of an object using CFX-Post. How to do this?
X = areaInt(X * Pressure * Normal X)@surfacebody / areaInt(Pressure)@Surface Body Y = areaInt(Y * Pressure * Normal Y)@surfacebody / areaInt(Pressure)@Surface Body Z = areaInt(Z * Pressure * Normal Z)@surfacebody / areaInt(Pressure)@Surface Body
This give unrealistic values........
Thanks, Astrid

text: The home is under overhaul of some room, but never updated the only washroom. The reason for its repair served how the failure of the bath. The desire to substitute it is not the normal new, and the bath "whirlpool" has caused a web reaction: to fit it, had much to rebuild the premises, which effectively meant a complete lavatory maintenance. With a range of materials was not a question. For ornament and fireplace in the living placement, and wood window sills at the time was used travertine. He also served how a facing material for wall and wood floor coverings in combination with wall panels of mahogany wooden that match the style of the house. To match these materials chosen and aqueduct items in soft greenish tone, and nickel-plated fittings. Restroom furniture manufactured by hand. Preliminary work carried out on their own, too. Yet comfort in the room do not only properly selected substances, but above all, more rational than the old layout of the apartment. Thus, a shower and a bath from a colored corner behind the wood door to the window rearranged. Their place is presently occupied by sinks with a great mirror, which makes the whole rooms, including the shower bath glass wall, lighter and visually more spacious.

The paper describes an approach to theatre as an educational intervention in society linking the artist, the psychiatrist, and social groups with an interest in mental illness. An exploration of narratives and diagnostic criteria from psychiatric case studies led to the creation of two dramatic monologues focusing on awareness and impact of bipolar disorder on intimate personal relationships, particularly on the evolving transactional roles between the partner/caregiver and partner/patient. The paper argues that devised performance based on themes and characters that emerge from within the field of psychiatry may be used to address perceptions of mental illness and stigma for general community audiences. It concludes that psychiatrically informed material can be successfully translated into original dramatic performances to address current educational and social issues and raise social awareness in thought-provoking and stimulating ways to members of the public.

- Solar Flare is a Mini-Con in the Cybertron portion of the Unicron Trilogy.
Have you seen me?
This character needs some sort of visual representation. If you have one, please replace this.
A member of the Noble Force Mini-Con Team, Solar Flare fights alongside the powerful Leobreaker and the Autobots to free the planet from the dragon Scourge's cruel grip.
- Japanese name: Factor (re-named and bio-ed by the Fan Club)
- Factor (Platinum Mini-Con, 2005)
- Factor is a redeco of the Recon Mini-Con Team member Jolt, transforming into a bubble-domed helicopter of indeterminable model. He was a Japanese Toys 'R' Us exclusive, available on April 28th 2005 with the purchase of Leobreaker. Reportedly, each store was limited to only 30 of each promotional Platinum Mini-Con.
- The same mold is used by Bit.
- Amusingly enough, though they are Mini-Con "partners" to Leobreaker, Leobreaker cannot Powerlinx with the Platinum Mini-Con toys, nor do they have weapon modes for him to use.

As Microsoft gears up for Windows 10 Anniversary, free upgrades to Windows 10 will end this summer, according to the company's blog post. Microsoft's free upgrade offer to Windows 10 was a first of its kind allowing people to upgrade to the latest faster; however, the time is running out. Microsoft will end free upgrade to the latest Windows on July 29. Apparently, the "Get Windows 10" prompts asking the Windows 7 and Windows 8 users to upgrade to Windows 10 for free will be removed.
"Details are still being finalized, but on July 29th the Get Windows 10 app that facilitates the easy upgrade to Windows 10 will be disabled and eventually removed from PCs worldwide. Just as it took time to ramp up and roll out the Get Windows 10 app, it will take time to ramp it down," WinBeta reports.
Typically, it's good news for those who find the prompts to be annoying and have no plans to upgrade it either. It is, however, who wants to secure your free upgrade to Windows 10, and you still have time to do so until July 29. After July 29th, you'll be able to continue to get Windows 10 on a new device, or purchase a full version of Windows 10 Home for $119 (Rs. 8,000).

Reports say that British Airways will allow the use of mobile technology on particular flights. Initially, the relaxation of the ban on mobile technologies will occur on the business flights from London to JFK airport in the USA.
"The service is aimed at people in the Square Mile," said a spokesman for BA to The Telegraph website. "We believe the route and the new technology will offer an appealing package to business travellers. There are no plans for voice calls at the moment but we will listen to feedback from passengers," he added. "The customer is in charge."
The Emirates airline already allows mobile calls - including voice calls - for a charge and Ryanair is testing mobile technology on 10 of its aircraft whilst BMI is testing texting-only.
There are issues which may hamper the full introduction of mobile voice calls on all aircraft, however. Principally the fact that most people would rather not have someone blaring their business into their ear for the flight duration.

NEW HAVEN – The world economy is in the grips of a dangerous delusion. As the great boom that began in the 1990s gave way to an even greater bust, policymakers resorted to the timeworn tricks of financial engineering in an effort to recapture the magic. In doing so, they turned an unbalanced global economy into the Petri dish of the greatest experiment in the modern history of economic policy. They were convinced that it was a controlled experiment. Nothing could be further from the truth.
The rise and fall of post-World War II Japan heralded what was to come. The growth miracle of an ascendant Japanese economy was premised on an unsustainable suppression of the yen. When Europe and the United States challenged this mercantilist approach with the 1985 Plaza Accord, the Bank of Japan countered with aggressive monetary easing that fueled massive asset and credit bubbles.
The rest is history. The bubbles burst, quickly bringing down Japan's unbalanced economy. With productivity having deteriorated considerably – a symptom that had been obscured by the bubbles – Japan was unable to engineer a meaningful recovery. In fact, it still struggles with imbalances today, owing to its inability or unwillingness to embrace badly needed structural reforms – the so-called "third arrow" of Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's economic recovery strategy, known as "Abenomics."
Despite the abject failure of Japan's approach, the rest of the world remains committed to using monetary policy to cure structural ailments. The die was cast in the form of a seminal 2002 paper by US Federal Reserve staff economists, which became the blueprint for America's macroeconomic stabilization policy under Fed Chairs Alan Greenspan and Ben Bernanke.

In a grand event yesterday, 19th July, Nach Baliye reached the end of Season 7 and announced its winner - Himmanshoo Malhotra and Amruta Khanvilkar. Apart from TV actor guests, there were even Bollywood guests, Drishyam actors Ajay Devgn and Shreya Saran on the show.
There was lot of masti and dance on the show on Nach Baliye 7 Finale. The eliminated celebrity contestants like Mrunal Thakur-Sharad Tripathi, Shakti Arora-Neha Saxena and other jodis, hosts and Dance+'s Remo rocked the dance floor promoting his upcoming show. What made the show more interesting was the participation of writer-judge Chetan Bhagat. As reported, Chetan burned the dance floor with his daring dance moves.
Chetan's co-judges Preity Zinta and Marzi Pestonji, though made fun of his dance moves, praised him for daring to dance.
Chetan had written on Twitter with a picture of his grand entry on stage for dance. He wrote, "Chorophobia. Fear of dancing. Had it all my life. But this is me up there. Nach Baliye Finale.Tonight 8pm. @StarPlus."
The writer shook legs for the song from Ajay's movie, Bol Bachchan, 'Chalao naino se baan re'. He also danced with the contestants and Marzi. Rithvik Dhanjani asked Preity to declare the winner, where, she announced Marzi as winner.
When Rithvik asked Chetan how he felt after dancing, the latter said that he hadn't even danced on his wedding day. Not only this, Marzi also gifted the writer a big Iodex bottle and called Chetan's wife Anusha on stage as a surprise. When Anusha was asked her response about her husband's dance, she said that Nach Baliye did what she couldn't do for these many years.
Well, on stage response apart, read on the slides are Tweeples' take on Chetan's dance and see pictures. Even Arnab Goswami and Paresh Rawal couldn't stop from reacting...

See Figures 1 and 2
Hydraulic brake systems are used to actuate the brakes for most modern automobiles. The system transports the power required to force the frictional surfaces together from the pedal to the individual brake units at each wheel. A hydraulic brake system allows fluid under pressure to be carried to different parts of the vehicle by small hoses without taking up a significant amount of room.
The master cylinder is the controlling mechanism in the hydraulic braking system. It consists of a fluid reservoir and either a single or double cylinder piston assembly. Double type master cylinders are designed to separate the front and rear braking systems hydraulically in the event of a fluid leak.
Steel lines carry the brake fluid from the master cylinder along the vehicle frame to flexible hoses attached to either calipers or wheel cylinders depending on the type of brake and location.
If equipped with wheel cylinders, each wheel cylinder contains two pistons, one at either end, which push outward in opposite directions. If equipped with calipers, pistons are encased in the caliper and force the brake pads against the disc. All calipers employ some type of seal around the piston, usually made of rubber, to minimize fluid leakage. A rubber dust boot seals the outer end of the piston against dust and dirt.
When at rest, the entire hydraulic system, from the piston(s) in the master cylinder to those in the wheel cylinders or calipers, is full of brake fluid. Upon application of the brake pedal, fluid trapped in front of the master cylinder piston(s) is forced through the lines to the wheel(s) and forces the pistons outward
Upon release of the brake pedal, a spring located inside the master cylinder immediately returns the master cylinder pistons to its normal position.
Dual circuit master cylinders employ two pistons, located one behind the other, in the same cylinder. The primary piston is actuated directly by mechanical linkage from the brake pedal. The secondary piston is actuated by fluid trapped between the two pistons. If a leak develops in front of the secondary piston, it moves forward until it bottoms against the front of the master cylinder, and the fluid trapped between the pistons will operate the rear brakes. If the rear brakes develop a leak, the primary piston will move forward until direct contact with the secondary piston takes place, and it will force the secondary piston to actuate the front brakes. In either case, the brake pedal moves farther when the brakes are applied, and less braking power is available.
Most dual-circuit systems use a switch to warn the driver when only half of the brake system is operational. This switch is located in a valve body which is mounted on the firewall or the frame below the master cylinder. When the braking pressures are in balance, the piston remains stationary. When one circuit has a leak, however, the greater pressure in that circuit during application of the brakes will push the piston to one side, closing the switch and activating the brake warning light.
In some disc brake systems a metering valve and, in some cases, a proportioning valve is incorporated into the braking system. The metering valve keeps pressure from traveling to the disc brakes on the front wheels until the brake shoes on the rear wheels have contacted the drums, ensuring that the front brakes will never be used alone. The proportioning valve controls the pressure to the rear brakes to avoid rear wheel lock-up during very hard braking.
See Figure 3
Certain BMW models are equipped with an Anti-lock Brake System (ABS). This system functions in the same manner as the standard hydraulic system, but is more advanced in that it is designed to control the braking of each individual wheel under different braking situations. Basically, the system monitors the speed of each wheel as the brakes are applied. It does this with a sensor at each wheel. When the system determines that one or more wheels are losing traction under braking, it modulates the braking force to the wheel(s) which prevents the wheel(s) from locking up and the vehicle possibly going out of control.
The ABS system requires no additional service with the exception of disconnecting the negative battery cable prior to performing any brake service. This will to protect the control unit.
If ABS system failure is suspected or the ABS warning indicator stays on, the vehicle should be taken to an authorized service station. ABS testing requires very expensive electronic testers and special troubleshooting procedures.
The ABS system consists of a control unit, hydraulic unit, speed sensors and related wiring. The following is a description of each and its location:
Located behind each wheel installed in the wheel hub is a gear which runs past a permanently magnetized edge of the sensor. This rotary motion of the wheel is recorded and the electrical signal is sent to the control unit.Electronic Control Unit
The control unit is located above the pedal assembly on the driver's side of the vehicle. The control unit reads and interprets various wheel speed data from the speed sensors. This data is then used to determine wheel speed, loss of traction and excess grab. It takes all the data into account and adjusts the electronically modulated valves of the hydraulic unit accordingly. This enable the driver to maintain complete control of the vehicle under all operating conditions. All of the operation of the control unit takes place in milli-seconds. ABS operation can be felt, as a brake pedal pulsation by the driver, under extreme braking conditions. There is also a warning light on the dash to indicate if the system is operating, if the light stays on, there is a problem with the system.
In the event of system failure normal braking will be maintained.Hydraulic Unit
This is a hydraulic distributor and actuator in series with the master cylinder and brake lines. It consists of electronically controlled valves that supply brake fluid to each individual wheel, as dictated by the ABS control unit. The hydraulic unit also has an electronic return pump which transfers the brake fluid to the master cylinder while in operation. If the pump or the hydraulic unit fails, normal braking will be maintained. The hydraulic unit can be found in the engine compartment in front of the master cylinder.
Vacuum assisted or power brakes as they are most commonly called operate just as standard brake systems except in the actuation of the master cylinder pistons. A vacuum diaphragm is located on the front of the master cylinder and assists the driver in applying the brakes, reducing both the effort and travel needed in moving the brake pedal.
The vacuum diaphragm housing is connected to the intake manifold by a vacuum hose. A check valve is placed at the point where the hose enters the diaphragm housing, so that during periods of low manifold vacuum brake assist vacuum will not be lost.
Depressing the brake pedal closes off the vacuum source and allows atmospheric pressure to enter on one side of the diaphragm. This causes the master cylinder pistons to move and apply the brakes. When the brake pedal is released, vacuum is applied to both sides of the diaphragm, and return springs return the diaphragm and master cylinder pistons to the released position. If the vacuum fails, the brake pedal rod will butt against the end of the master cylinder actuating rod, and direct mechanical application will occur as the pedal is depressed.
The hydraulic system may be checked for leaks by applying pressure to the pedal gradually and steadily. If the pedal sinks slowly to the floor, the system may have a leak. This is not to be confused with a springy or spongy feel due to the compression of air within the lines. In this case the pedal may feel soft, but will not compress to the floor. If the system leaks, there will be a gradual change in the position of the pedal.
Check for leaks along the bake lines, hoses and at each wheel. If no external leaks are apparent, the problem is most likely inside the master cylinder.
Warning lights may be tested by depressing the brake pedal and holding it while opening one of the wheel bleeder screws. If this does not cause the light to go on, substitute a new bulb, make continuity checks, and, finally, replace the switch as necessary.
If your vehicle is equipped with power brakes, and you suspect a vacuum leak, the system may be tested as described below:
- Operate the engine at idle without touching the brake pedal for at least one minute.
- Turn off the engine, and wait one minute.
- Test for the presence of assist vacuum by depressing the brake pedal and releasing it several times. Light application will produce less and less pedal travel, if vacuum was present. If there is no vacuum, air is leaking into the system somewhere.
Test for system operation as follows:
- Pump the brake pedal (with engine off) until the supply vacuum is entirely gone.
- Put a light, steady pressure on the pedal.
- Start the engine, and operate it at idle. If the system is operating, the brake pedal should fall toward the floor if constant pressure is maintained on the pedal.

Does anyone have any good numbers about the EROEI and fuel per unit land for biofuels? Either actual numbers or projected ones. Also, how much of the energy input can feasibly be supplied by non-biofuel renewable sources. I think that renewable-source electricity generation is a largely solved problem, so the larger fraction of electricity the better. One can run Haber-Bosch nitrogen fixing entirely off of electricity if one chooses, for instance.

Viola Davis Wig
February 27, 2012 by staff
Viola Davis Wig, Whether she knows it or not (she does), Viola Davis made Sunday night at the Oscars a teachable moment, giving the world a crash course in the ever-complicated politics of African-American hair.
Actress Viola Davis arrives at the 84th Annual Academy Awards held at the Hollywood & Highland Center on February 26, 2012 in Hollywood, California. ,
Davis, a Best Actress nominee for The Help, arrived at the awards ceremony in a stunning emerald-colored gown and a natural curly Afro, instantly lifting the lid from the bubbling pot of anger, judgment, and debate often directed toward African-American women and the varying states of their textured tresses.
Through the most of awards season, Davis had donned a dizzying array of wigs and hairpieces to complement her tasteful choice of vibrant-hued ccktail dresses and elegant evening gowns. Many were attractive enough, but some of the follicle support had appeared stiff, ill-fitted, and aging to her lean frame and glowing ebony skin.
"She looked younger and more vibrant on Oscar night," says Karen Mitchell, owner of New York's popular True Indian Hair. "Her wigs weren't that great, and it was clear she needed a custom-fitted wig and style that worked better for her face."

Tech News on G4
Fallout's 'Automatron' is all about the bots
Apr 26, 2016
By Alexander Cattani - G4 Canada
back to -|- Tech News index -|- Alexander Cattani column archive
Bethesda's Automatron is the first of the post release pieces of DLC to be released for last year's Fallout 4. The maniacal villain known befittingly as The Mechanist has dispatched a litany of scrapped together robots upon the Commonwealth. Now, it's up to the Lone Wanderer to terminate said mechanical foes and bring order back to the wasteland or as much order as you can possibly bring to a post-nuclear shell of a city.
As one can discern from the title, Automatron's narrative falls on the more comical side of things. It's campy, over dramatized tone is amusing and The Mechanist's exaggerated delivery is sure to draw some chuckles but in comparison to the exceptionally written dialogue of some of the quests of Fallout 4's base game, such as The Silver Shroud and The Last Voyage of the USS Constitution, the quest line in Automatron feels very much of the B-tier.
For those looking for a more substantial narrative in their Fallout DLC, the upcoming Far Harbour DLC looks to scratch that itch. Upon completion, it was clear to me that Automatron essentially serves to introduce a new mechanic, while sprinkling some narrative tidbits in for good measure.
Fallout 4's deep arsenal tweaking components were amongst the more welcome additions to the series, unlike the titles divisively received settlement management system. Automatron thankfully expands on the base game's item customization segments and in a unique fashion as well. Instead of weaponry being the vessel for your creativity this time around, gamers will now have the ability to tinker with robots to their heart's content. After you eradicate a mechanical adversary, you now have the ability to harvest their parts and create a robotic menace of your own. Your mechanical makings will then patrol your settlement, ready to vaporize, incinerate and slash any unwelcome company that trots in.
Much like tailoring your arsenal, robot customization can grow rather deep and with that complexity, comes fixation. I wasn't happy with my mechanical creations until they mirrored the exact blueprint that I had in mind. Destroying, looting and returning back to my settlement to swap out parts in hopes of creating a machine deadlier than the last is great, creative fun.
In addition to beefing up your settlement's security, robotic companions can also be brought with you on the road. Meandering the charred terrain of Boston is only made more enjoyable when you're accompanied by a robotic confidant of your own design. While personally appealing, the aforementioned mechanic could easily be of no interest to someone who's primarily interested in the questing side of Fallout, rather than the customization.
Automatron is a worthy first debut for Fallout 4's hopefully comprehensive DLC plans. I wouldn't classify Automatron as a season pass seller but it served as an amusing distraction and added even more content to a game already teeming with it.

Here some suggested organisations that offer expert advice on SN.
God what do I do with my poor DS?(475 Posts)
He couldn't get to school at all today. He has only been going in for part of the day with me. He was wailing and crying about putting his uniform on and how he can't cope.
Where do we go from here? His third school. One period of HE already. School will do whatever they can but he can't cope and I worry I am damaging his mental health.
He finds it so hard to explain how he feels but he can';t cope with kids at school. We went to a special school to look around yesterday and he wouldn't look in the classes and got visibly stressed out at a glimpse of a child in a far off corridor.
What do you do?? CAMHS? HE? This can't go on.
Reading streakys post reminded me of how truly awful it was for ds this time last year. Ds was a mess. He could not function at all. He cried hourly, was beyond controlling. He was incapable of going out. Barely eating. No normal life was possible.
A year later he is so happy. It beams out of him. I am so tired sometimes but it is so worth it. He has a chance of being the man he should be.
zzzzz Did you have a moment of enlightenment when you suddenly saw the horror of what your ds was going through, and how wrong it was to keep fighting it? I certainly did - and I know an awful lot of people who keep pushing schools and LAs for help that'll never be enough because the system just doesn't fit for some children, and the only solution is for them not to be there. It must be absolute torture for them trying to function in hopeless conditions every day, and even worse with limited understanding of the situation and no idea how to end it. Still worse if communication difficulties mean they can't express how they feel so nobody can understand or help.
I remember the day I was called to school to take ds home and not bring him back. I'd already given notice that I'd deregister from the end of the week but once I'd done that they no longer wanted him. I went with him to the cloakroom to collect his things and he just fell, sobbing, against me - he was meltdown-ed out, and just weary and exhausted. I told him it was ok, he never had to come back to this again and at last he was safe. I swear to God, by the time we got back to the car he was two inches taller. The pressure on him must have been enormous but he started to recover the minute we walked out of the door.
I'm so glad your son is doing well too, zzzzz. It takes your breath away to see what our children are capable of, once you lift the stress, doesn't it?
Ds at school is very very disabled. Ds Home schooled is behind, very very different but ENabled. His language disorder (which was very very severe) is less of an issue. He is kind again and sometimes be is very funny.
School was cruel for him.
I realised if I left him there he would be ruined emotionally and academically.
Even if he learnt nothing academically at home he would be better off.
In reality the academic side is flourishing!
It is really interesting to hear your experiences as I suspect DS is very much the same.
I think there is this pressure to believe being educated means being in school and as you say, for some, that is too much in whatever form school takes.
There is also the view that teaching them to 'fit in' now is important for later life. But I don't accept that either as children with developmental disorders develop at different levels and in different ways - like normal kids but much more pronounced. Just because they can't do something at 10 doesn't mean, with support and confidence, they can't learn how to adapt at 18. Destroying their confidence is the path to nowhere.
It is difficult because HE is a massive decision if you work but I think having an open mind at what works at different stages of a child's life is important. Unfortunately, our LA system which is solely driven by the protection of resources does not allow creative thinking. Even if, in the long run, this is much more cost effective.
HE is a massive decision. For us it is a huge investment. If I'm honest I'm sad about some of the things I won't be doing now and the other children's lives will be different as a result. But it is only the same time as you would invest in a degree course. So much more important. So much more rewarding.
Yes op HE is a massive decision and one we have thought of too. But i worry how hard it would be to make it work.
It's good to read the positive outcomes for others on here.
We have also been told that we should try to make school work for ds and the routine and structure is good for him, but it often doesn't seem like its doing him any good at all and it's difficult to know how long to keep trying without letting things go too far for ds who isn't great at communicating his feelings.
Your ds sounds more relaxed now which will help you relax a bit too.
Hope you manage to forget about it all for a few hours at the zoo and have a lovely time
And I love him so much and he is flowering.
So much of the problems he was having with school are not really skills he needs for daily life. They are skills you need for institutionalised education.
It was one of the hardest things I have ever done, making that decision. I felt like we were stepping into an abyss. I still have days I wobble but they get further and further apart. We ALL love it.
Well EP emailed and recommended break from school. Blimey.
Are you all the more determined to do it now, then?
I know we often whine on here about about various people potentially being in LAs' pockets. but it's really nice to be reminded of the others. Your EP sounds like a highly professional, child-focussed type .
Well I think it means DS can have a break from the school environment at least.
Should I still pursue the GP? Or see if not going back and forth to school helps?
Cover your a* at the GP, I'd say. Also no harm in seeing whether she has any bright ideas.
Yes. I will hav a quick chat I think. See if I can get an appointment.
I think you should go anyway. If an adult was this freaked out by approaching the workplace everyone would insist on them getting nedical help. The GP would be signing them off, referring for CBT, talking about meds options and secretly wondering about PTSD.
When it's a dc (especially with a disability) there somehow doesn't seem to be the same social perception of excessive fear being serious yet treatable. Which I think is simply wrong.
I agree. I suppose the difficulty is that if you were placed in a very stressful work environment in which no reasonable person could cope, you would be advised to remove yourself from that - its not you, it's the job.
But I will chat it through.
But some people might thrive in that same stressful work environment, inappropriately.
It's pretty reasonable to assume that while some kids do thrive in a typical mainstream school (and many more kids are meh about it but have no choice) there will be some for whom the whole experience of having to muddle along with a load of other children, with all their noises and unpredictability, whilst simultaneously doing what the grown ups tell you to do in a way that is acceptable to them, according to rules, written and unwritten, is deeply traumatic.
Thanks. It is so sad isn't it? Two and a half years ago, we saw an independent EP who worked with DS, assessed him and talked to him for a couple of hours. She said to me after - was he like this before he started school? And I said no. She said 'this is a child who is not thriving in his environment'. I went back to school (his old school) and flexi schooled for 6 months. Within two months of that, we were out of that school and I HEd for 6 months.
Now I think we are back to that situation - he is not thriving in his environment is a good way of describing it. I have told him that is not his fault. He is so unlikely to want to talk to anyone about that though. He would find it so hard. Thank God for a decent LA EP and I'm glad we have a good GP.
The GP is our weak link. We saw the newer guy in the group, last week, though - the one who referred me for my joint problems when others wanted me to take tablets and go away. The first one to ever not grimace at DS1's bounciness and to crack a smile when he sat with his tongue out until I told him that it was alright to put it away, now. In a crisis, we've actively avoided going unless we've needed a prescription for something we can't get OTC for him.
The EP who has been assessing the boys seems good - though I shall reserve judgement until i find out what she recommends.
I think it makes all the difference if you have a decent GP. Ours is an absolute superstar, she listens, refers without question, believes and respects you. It makes such a difference.
Great news that the EP is on your side - also positive that she's been the one to suggest the break from school, rather than you have to push for it.
Yes, I'd see the GP to have everything documented on ds's records. It won't hurt and might even be useful for the paper trail.
Since my ds came out of school, I've bumped into several professionals who were involved in his assessments when he was younger, and they've ALL said off record that school doesn't work for children with autism, yet they're all directed to say that needs will be met and push for inclusion. It just isn't true, except for a handful of very lucky cases.
There's a world of difference between thriving and surviving, and too many people get the two mixed up.
"Surviving not thriving" - I think that about sums it up. You can just continue to force these kids I to the school environment, especially if they are compliant and want to please, as it seems like one more adjustment, one more programme, one more training course will make all the difference.
Ultimately, suppressing needs and who they are is not a road to mental well being at any age. With the right skills, they may be able to manage and adapt better as they get older but forcing them to do that now seems so pointless if it is damaging them.
I hasten to add that this has happened in a good, caring, inclusive school so you really have to wonder about the mainstream inclusion model for children with significant ASD needs.
Ds went to two uncaring schools and his experience was nothing short of barbaric. It still shames me that I let it go as long as I did, and let him suffer for so long, but I think it takes a while for the penny to drop that the professionals don't always know what's best for a child, regardless of what we're told.
When we saw my sons respitory paed and I told him I had taken Tom our of school to HE I was very worried what his reaction would be.
He said
"Well, he will learn more at home with you than he ever will in school"
This was from an experienced father of 4.
It's amazing how many teachers and hcps HE their kids.
What does that tell us?

We've had a blast throwing together the first batch of Resistor Kits - (RESK). It's a bit nerdy but we consider any day where we fire up our micro factory and take a pile of components and turn them into delightfully fun finished products to be one well spent. Please bear with us while we share a few steps along the way.
Printing and Preparing the PackagingAt the moment we do all our printing in house, this came as a realization at just how reasonably priced a second hand colour laser printer can be . For the RESK packaging we use card-stock (210 gm/s/m).
(if you'd like to print your own cards the design files can be found here ).
Next a few slices with an exacto knife and the cards are ready to go.
Resistor SnippingWe slice the resistors into 25 resistor strips
StaplingWe find this part rather fun as it reminds us of grade school when you had to go to the office to borrow the long arm stapler. Well we now have our own. We line up the resistor strips and staple them in place. This was time consuming at first but once we got good at it (or in our case competitive) it went rather quickly.
Finished ProductThe result? A stack of handmade resistor kits, if you'd like to pick one up for your electronics box they can be found in our online shop here. But do hurry given our penchant for mechnizing they might not be hand made for long..

FRANKFURT, Germany (AP) German athletes who miss two out-of-competition doping tests will be excluded from next year's Beijing Olympics.
Team candidates will be required to register any change of residence with anti-doping officials for out-of-competition tests, and two missed tests will mean exclusion from the team, the country's Olympic sports union said Tuesday.
Athletes who have admitted to using performance-enhancing drugs in the past will also be left off the Olympic team.
That means cyclist Erik Zabel wouldn't be eligible. Zabel has admitted doping in the 1990s and has ruled himself out of the Olympics.
