On the second floor, we've got the master bedroom:

And outside, there's a lovely little sitting area:
And, of course, the pool:
Pretty, isn't it? Now, for most small families, all that would be more than enough space; maybe Giuliana and Bill need to take into account the amount of cameras and extra personnel their lives usually involve. But hey, if you want it—and you've got $2.3 million to burn—we say go for it! You could do worse than to live in the Rancic's old house—especially one as lovely as this!

I've read a bunch of conflicting answers on this. I bought a new G19 last night. Do I need to oil/lube before my first shooting? Some people say yes, some people say Glocks don't need it. Any feedback?

I make it a habit to field strip and clean every new gun I get, used or new in the box. It's a safety measure (helps ensure familiarity with the weapon, helps one to be sure there are no barrel obstructions or broken parts, etc).
I was too excited to bother with cleaning and lubricating before shooting this wonder of mechanical engineering. I probably should have but a few thousand rounds later with only one cleaning and it has had zero problems. It cannot hurt to strip, clean, and lube before shooting and I would recommend that. However GLOCK is probably the one pistol that is ready to go right out of the box.

I know you're anxious to try it out, but a quick check of the Owner's Manual (Instructions for Use) under PM, Frequency of Servicing, reveals "...field strip, clean and lubricate: 1. When brand new, before the first time it is fired..."
IMO any firearm you acquire - no matter if it is new or used - should be properly cleaned and lubed before the first time you fire it; that is what I always do. When I clean the firearm I also inspect it to make sure that everything is like it is supposed to be. And I read the owner's manual too.
"The Second Amendment: America's Original Homeland Security"
And yes, you can remove that coppery grease that came on it.
Glocks don't care what kind of lube you use (most won't notice the lack of) but don't get sloppy with it. Very little will keep your pistol running like a fine-tuned sewing machine.

it isn't necessary but if it makes you feel good, do it
Like you, I recently purchased a G19. I followed the owners manual. My sense, if the manufacturer recommends something then I will heed their advice. If I need to return, for any reason, I can, in good conscience, say I followed their advice.
Praise the Lord my Rock, who trains my hands for war, my fingers for battle --- Psalm 144
No,take it out,caress it,fondle it,do things to it that would make you have to register as a sex offender if caught,but please,don't add or take off the factory lube,after about 200 rounds you may want to add a small amount to the end of the barrel,but thats it.Now that said,regular cleaning and "small" amount of lube will suffice,HAPPY HUNTING!.
I would. When I got mine new and when my wife got hers new they had all the copper grease in there. I replaced it with grease of my own. On both pistols I found the barrel to have too much oil on it. And then the previous posts make a good point, its a good idea to inspect it for broken parts and obstructions before shooting.
This is the official answer. The copper colored grease it comes with is intended for storage only (they don't know how long a particular model will sit in case on a store shelf). It also provides a good opportunity for inspection of parts. It's new so it takes all of 3 minutes to do, no real reason not to, just make sure you don't over lube it.
For all of that said there's been more than one competitor that broke the seal on a NIB Glock after showing up to the firing line and been able to fair well, and not have a single malfunction issue.

When you bought it, it came with the copper grease already on it...go shoot it, and then clean it.
It's a Glock, it will work very well, right out of the box.
Proverbs 27:12 says: The prudent see danger and take refuge, but the simple keep going and suffer for it.

Isn't that (taking it apart and cleaning it, checking out all the parts) half the fun? I love studying the insides and outer parts, you learn alot and recognise things that are normal and changes as you shoot the heck out of it. Enjoy all phases of your new toy.
After taking a class on 'how to fully disassemble, clean and inspect your Glock' we were told that the Glock needs very little lubrication. It is okay to leave the copper grease in there, although many do remove it. There are only two places on a Glock that requires oil, and it's only 1 drop per place. Like many have said, take it out of the box, shoot it, take it home, clean it, DON'T get crazy with the oil, unlike 1911's which like to run very wet, Glocks don't.

From NBC/NJ's Adam Aigner-Treworgy
Thompson, who often brags that he is the only candidate in the race who has come out with a Social Security plan, and Anderson Cooper gave him the perfect opportunity to keep bragging about his plan. He said that Social Security is not just a "fiscal issue it's a moral issue," and he got the chance to talk about one of his favorite issue. But he did say that the fiscal problem for future generations was more important than all the other issues we hear on the news, which might open the door for some criticism.

Increasing Troop Levels In Afghanistan: Yet Another Sign Obama Is Not A Socialist
At the Party for Socialism And Liberation they're planning a march on Washington on March 20 to "demand the immediate and unconditional withdrawal of all U.S. and NATO forces from Afghanistan and Iraq."
At the Socialist Party USA, they're offering party members tips on how "protest any increase or continuation of the war and occupation of Afghanistan." One example of how they suggest Socialists should "show unity of purpose" tomorrow: "make an appointment that day with at least one group that you're not already a member of -- a church, union, civic group, etc. -- and speak with them about the war."
In the pages of The Militant, the weekly newspaper of the Socialist movement, reports compare Obama's Afghanistan plan to the surge in Iraq, which the paper reports "is seen by more and more as a success for the ruling class." (For those unfamiliar with Socialism: "success for the ruling class" = bad news.)

When Rihanna made the decision to get cozy with Chris Brown again she probably knew there would be some backlash from the media, fans and her mentor Jay-Z. Turns out she was right in all three cases--especially Jay-Z's.
RadarOnline is reporting that the man responsible for signing Rihanna to Def Jam Records at the start of her career is "deeply disappointed" in her decision to let Brown back into her life.
"Jay was absolutely disgusted by what Chris did to Rihanna. Jay doesn't understand how a man could ever lay hands on a woman; it just goes against who he is and about," a source told Radaronline. "Chris is absolutely dead to Jay, he wants nothing to do with him ever. Now that Rihanna is hooking up with Chris and recording songs with him, Jay is deeply disappointed in her actions. He can't fathom why Rihanna is doing the things she is doing. He understands the need for forgiveness, but he is adamant that Rihanna shouldn't forget what Chris did to her. Jay wonders what kind of message this is sending to Rihanna's young female fans. Rihanna knows how Jay feels about Chris, but she doesn't care, she is going to do what she wants."
Rihanna is 24-years old now. Is it time for Hov to let her live her own life or should he be concerned?

Vizio Ships New XVT HDTVs, All With 802.11n Internet Apps Access
The new models are as follows: XVT553SV (55"), XVT473SV (47") and XVT423AV (42"). Not so easy to remember by name, but the features definitely help set them apart. All of these feature Vizio Internet Apps and dual-band 802.11n Wi-Fi. This means that your set will come loaded with Internet access to specific apps, and you won't even need to run an Ethernet cable over to take advantage. There's also Bluetooth and IR support, and the bundled remote even has a full QWERTY keyboard. Not bad!
There's also a 10,000,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio, and if you need a smaller set, there's the 32" XVT323SV and the 37" XVT373SV Edge Lit Razor LED LCD HDTVs, both of which offer a 1,000,000:1 contrast ratio with full HD 1080p resolution and a 120 Hz refresh rate. Full pricing and specifications are below.
Superior Technologies in VIZIO's Full Array TruLED XVT Series Set the Picture Quality Standard for HDTVs
- VIZIO's XVT™ Series HDTVs use Full Array TruLED™ LCD technology for significant performance advantages over competitors' sets, with superior uniformity, better off-angle viewing and deeper blacks
- New sets have increased zones of Smart Dimming™ for greater intelligent control plus the ability to reduce LED brightness to enable pure black
- XVT553SV, XVT473SV and XVT423AV achieve unprecedented 10,000,000:1 contrast ratios
-XVT323SV LED TV is recognized as industry's best featured 32" HDTV
- All XVT models feature VIZIO Internet Apps™, with integral Dual Band 802.11n Wi-Fi wireless networking and Bluetooth/IR remote with slide out QWERTY keypad
-VIZIO provides seamless state-of-the-art wireless Internet access through integral Dual Band 802.11n Wi-Fi, unlike competitive sets that require the purchase of external adaptors
- VIZIO's business benefits from a leadership position in advanced technologies such as LED LCD HDTVs
Irvine, CA – August 20, 2010 -- VIZIO, America's HDTV and Consumer Electronics Company, announced today shipping of a new lineup of leading edge XVT (Xtreme VIZIO Technology) Series HDTVs featuring Full Array TruLED™ LCD HDTV technology. VIZIO, a leading seller of LED LCD TVs in the U.S. with 500,000 units sold in the second quarter, offers its premium XVT line with picture quality improvements that elevate the performance standard for LED backlit LCD HDTVs and produce the best possible viewer experience.
With added zones of Smart Dimming, unmatched 10,000,000:1 contrast ratios and 240Hz SPS (scenes per second) refresh rates, the 55" XVT553SV, 47" XVT473SV" and 42" XVT423SV models outperform competitive HDTVs that use Edge Lit LED technology. In smaller screen sizes, XVT Series performance has also been improved. The 32" XVT323SV and the 37" XVT373SV Edge Lit Razor LED LCD HDTVs with local dimming produce a 1,000,000:1 contrast ratio with full HD 1080p resolution and a 120 Hz refresh rate.
"VIZIO is solidifying its position as a technology and performance leader with the introduction of the new generation of XVT HDTVs," said John Schindler, VIZIO VP New Products. "Our dedication to high performance drives us to use the best commercially available technology. Each of our XVT TruLED sets uses a Full Array with local dimming that produces an unquestioned superior picture. Many competitive manufacturers have decided to use only Edge Lit technology in their flagship products, but edge lighting results in an inevitable compromise in performance."
All of these new XVT televisions feature a sleek and slimmer new profile. Depths have been reduced from 5" to less than 3" in the 55", 47" and 42" models, and to less than 2" in the 37" and 32" sets.
XVT553SV, XVT473SV and XVT423SV
As other leading HDTV makers have elected to use Edge Lit technology, even in their most expensive models, VIZIO remains firmly committed to performance through the use of Full Array TruLED technology with Smart Dimming to deliver superior picture quality. Edge Lit designs exhibit variations in both light and dark from screen edge to center. TruLED designs present uniform brightness across the entire screen area. TruLED sets also provide much better off angle viewing and vastly superior black reproduction.
VIZIO's new Full Array TruLED sets feature additional zones of Smart Dimming, which improve performance and provide the highest contrast ratios yet. Additional zones of Smart Dimming allows for the ability to turn off individual zones of LEDs for the absolute blackest blacks. The 55" XVT553SV and 42" XVT423SV models have 120 zones, compared to 80 zones in their predecessor models, and the 47" XVT473SV model steps up to 160 zones from 120 zones. These sets reach a 10,000,000:1 contrast ratio, a major improvement over the previous generation XVT series, which had a 2,000,000:1 contrast ratio. Additionally, VIZIO's 240 Hz SPS (Scenes per second) Smooth Motion technology provides sharp, blur-free images with less judder, even in fast action scenes.
XVT373SV and XVT323SV
The new 37" XVT373SV and 32" XVT323SV 120 Hz Edge Lit Razor LED LCD models bring the major improvement of local dimming for the first time to these screen sizes, improving contrast ratios to 1,000,000:1, an enormous increase over the 50,000:1 contrast ratio seen in the previous generation products. Another new addition to these screen sizes is VIZIO's complete VIA platform, with integral Dual Band 802.11n Wi-Fi and VIZIO's unique Bluetooth remote control with QWERTY keyboard. Like the larger sets, a stylish redesign makes these models even more attractive, with slimmed cabinets that are less than two inches deep.
VIZIO Internet Apps
Each of these VIZIO XVT series HDTVs brings the best of the web to the home through VIZIO Internet Applications, the industry leader with over 75,000 movie and TV show options and 10 Million songs. Unlike competitive sets that require the purchase of external adaptors, VIZIO provides seamless state-of-the-art wireless Internet access through integral Dual Band 802.11n Wi-Fi.

What Is Acute Respiratory Failure?
Acute respiratory failure occurs when fluid builds up in the air sacs in your lungs. When that happens, your lungs can't release oxygen into your blood. In turn, your organs can't get enough oxygen-rich blood to function. You can also develop acute respiratory failure if your lungs can't remove carbon dioxide from your blood.
Respiratory failure happens when the capillaries in your air sacs can't properly exchange carbon dioxide for oxygen. The condition can be acute or chronic. Acute respiratory failure causes you to experience immediate symptoms from not having enough oxygen in your body. In most cases, this failure may lead to death if it's not treated quickly.
Types of Acute Respiratory Failure
The two types of acute and chronic respiratory failure are hypoxemic and hypercapnic. Both conditions can trigger serious complications.
Hypoxemic respiratory failure means that you don't have enough oxygen in your blood but your levels of carbon dioxide are close to normal.
Hypercapnic respiratory failure means there's too much carbon dioxide in your blood and near normal or not enough oxygen.
What Causes Acute Respiratory Failure?
Acute respiratory failure has several different causes:
When something lodges in your throat, you may have trouble getting enough oxygen into your lungs.
An injury that impairs or compromises your respiratory system can adversely affect the amount of oxygen in your blood. For instance, an injury to the spinal cord or brain can immediately affect your breathing. The brain tells the lungs to breathe. If the brain can't relay messages due to injury or damage, the lungs can't continue to function properly.
An injury to the ribs or chest can also hamper the breathing process. These injuries can impair your ability to inhale enough oxygen into your lungs.
Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS)
Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a serious condition characterized by low oxygen in the blood. ARDS affects you if you already have an underlying health problem such as pneumonia, pancreatitis (inflammation of the pancreas), or heart attack. It can occur while you're in the hospital being treated for your underlying condition.
Drug or Alcohol Abuse
If you overdose on drugs or drink too much alcohol, you can impair brain function and hinder your brain's ability to tell your lungs to breathe in or exhale.
Chemical Inhalation
Inhaling toxic chemicals, smoke, or fumes can also cause acute respiratory failure. These chemicals may injure or damage the tissues of your lungs, including the air sacs and capillaries.
A stroke occurs when your brain experiences tissue death or damage on one or both sides of the brain. Often, it affects only one side. Although stroke does present some warning signs, such as slurred speech or confusion, it typically occurs quickly. If you have a stroke, you may lose your ability to breathe properly.
Who Is at Risk for Acute Respiratory Failure?
You may be at risk for acute respiratory failure if you:
- smoke tobacco products
- drink alcohol excessively
- have a family history of respiratory disease or conditions
- sustain an injury to the spine, brain, or chest
- have chronic (long-term) respiratory problems, such as cancer of the lungs, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), or asthma
What Are the Symptoms of Acute Respiratory Failure?
The symptoms vary according to how healthy you are. Most people with acute failure of the lungs and low oxygen levels will experience:
- an inability to breathe
- bluish coloration in the skin, fingertips, or lips
- restlessness
- anxiety
- confusion
- altered consciousness
- rapid, shallow breathing
- racing heart
- profuse sweating
Your heart rate may increase when your levels of carbon dioxide are high. You may be confused about your surroundings, who you are, and who others around you are.
Diagnosing Acute Respiratory Failure
Acute respiratory failure requires immediate medical attention. You may receive oxygen to help you breathe and to prevent tissue death in your organs and brain.
After your doctor stabilizes you, they will take certain steps to diagnose you, such as:
- perform a physical exam
- ask you questions about your family or personal health history
- check your body's oxygen and carbon dioxide levels level with a pulse oximetry device and an arterial blood gas test
- order a chest X-ray to look for abnormalities in your lungs
Treating Acute Respiratory Failure
Treatment usually addresses any underlying conditions you may have. Your doctor will then treat your respiratory failure with a variety of options.
- Your doctor may prescribe pain medications or other medicines to help you breathe better.
- For severe cases, a tracheostomy, an operation that creates an artificial airway in the windpipe, may be necessary.
- You may receive oxygen via an oxygen tank or ventilator to help you breathe better. Portable air tanks are available to go home with you if your condition requires one.
What Can I Expect in the Long Term?
You'll see improvement in your lung function if you get appropriate treatment for your underlying condition. You may also require pulmonary rehabilitation, which includes exercise therapy, education, and counseling. Acute respiratory failure can become a long-term condition without the right treatment. It's important to seek emergency medical care if you're experiencing the symptoms of respiratory failure.

is there problems with positioning in ie 6? I have a main nav on my site that I have a position:fixed on, and also I have placed them by setting a top: and left: positioning. IE6 is not using this.. the our out of place AND the scroll when I want them fixed.
This reply has been reported for inappropriate content.
Try margin-top, margin-left.
nope that didnt work.. hmmm. Im about to say.. screw ie6. Anyone else know of an issue with fixed positioning in ie
maybe try changing your doctype from:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
Just a wild stab in the dark….
where do I find that in a wordpress site?
in your header.php
nope.. do you think its a bad idea to just say screw it?? the only issues Im having is in ie 6. when I look at my stats of my current site I really dont get too many visits from ie6. not many ie visits in general but if so most ie7. I do still have couple quirks in ie 9 but not nearly as bad.
personally on my sign making site I have done… I have a nice javascript pop up telling people why and where to download the update or firefox or whatever.
IE6 still holds about 18% of the browser usage wars… it might be closer to 16 now as its declining every month.
I suppose its up to you, and who you are trying to attract, and wether you are willing to take the chance that you might loose some business. Personally I took the chance on that site LOL
I think it really depends on the research that you do. On a site I did that recently went live, in the first couple of weeks ie6 users are around a lowly 2% of visitors, not enough for me to particularly care about (even though the site is ie6 compatible at the client's request).

Online aquarium retailers offer every imaginable aquarium product (even tropical fish and other livestock) at a highly competitive cost. Given the recent boom in online retail activity, I think a brief analysis of which aquarium products are best obtained from the internet, and which online offers you should stay away from, is in order.
One of my readers recently emailed me to ask whether or not I would advise buying a canister filter (an Eheim Classic) from the internet. Although he felt a bit uncomfortable with purchasing the filter online, he was nevertheless enticed by the low internet price.
As well he should be! I not only encourage him to buy the canister filter online, but I also got him to get a much needed aquarium heater from the same website. All in all, he saved $43.00 by opting to buy his brand new canister filter and heater online!
Yes; when it comes to dry goods (aquarium filters, heaters, food, books, etc) online retailers are able to provide aquarium supplies a very low price that aquarium shops just can't compete with.
But, that is not to say that every aquarium product found online is worth the cost. In particular, there is a huge difference between buying dry-goods and getting livestock (fish, invertebrates, and plants) from the internet.
I, myself, have saved a fortune by getting my aquarium dry-goods from the internet. At the same time, I've had mixed results from getting tropical fish and invertebrates online.
Although I've never bought freshwater fish online, and therefore cannot attest (from experience) to their quality, I have purchased a few saltwater fish and coral specimens from the internet. About half the corals shipped to me did not match the photos the site had provided of those specific specimens. In particular, the photo coloration of a Platygyra sp. and a Montipora tuberculosa was apparently "adjusted" by that particular online retailer.
I was a bit peeved and disappointed, but the experience did teach me that it's best to buy aquarium livestock from your local aquarium shop.
Indeed, when getting your tropical fish from aquarium shops, you can see and observe the particular fish you'll be taking home. Basically, you see before your eyes your future fish. On top of this, you can (and should) ask the people working at the aquarium shop to feed the tropical fish for you, so that you can determine it's activity and health (a luxury that an aquarium livestock website just can't deliver).
Unfortunately, these same neighborhood shops tend to overprice aquarium dry-goods, and they often won't carry the product that you're looking for. For these two reasons, I strongly encourage obtaining your filters, food, and books online. In so doing, you're guaranteed to save big bucks!
So, here's my simple formula for the most cost-effective aquarium purchases: buy your fish from local stores, and all your other aquarium products (filters, heaters, food, books, etc) online.

Bunge Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2013 Results |
Overview "Our agribusiness team effectively managed risks as markets transitioned from extreme tightness to emerging surpluses, while capitalizing on strong oilseed processing margins in the Northern Hemisphere and navigating unpredictable farmer selling patterns. Food & ingredients achieved record quarter and full-year results with all regions reporting higher year-over-year annual earnings. Our food team has made big strides in its effort to engage with customers and extract more value from operations and category management, which are all part of a larger performance management program we are rolling out across our business. "Our sugar and ethanol trading & merchandising operations performed well in the quarter and full year; however, our Brazilian sugarcane milling operations continued to be impacted by depressed global sugar prices, low sucrose cane content (ATR) and capped ethanol prices in Brazil. In the quarter we took several restructuring & impairment charges, which is part of our ongoing effort to improve the cost structure of our industrial business. We made good progress during the year to reduce costs in our milling operations, and the efforts will continue. We are actively engaged in our strategic review to optimize the value of this business and have retained financial advisors to assist in the process. "We enter 2014 with good momentum. Lower commodity prices are spurring growth in demand and trade.

Here's a new running-based test of anaerobic performance for which you need only a stopwatch and a calculator
The Running-based Anaerobic Sprint Test (RAST) has been developed at the University of Wolverhampton as a sports-specific anaerobic test. It is similar to the Wingate ANaerobic 30 cycle Test (WANT) in that it provides coaches with measurements on peak power, average power and minimum power along with a fatigue index. The tests differ with regard to specificity and cost of administration. The Wingate test is more specific for cyclists, whereas the RAST provides a test that can be used with athletes where running forms the basis for movement. The WANT necessitates the use of a cycle ergometer and computer which are not available for all coaches. The RAST requires only a stopwatch and a calculator for some simple computations. The RAST provides a more specific test of anaerobic performance in running-based sports.
Anaerobic performance and the WANT
A variety of aerobic performance tests have been have been developed based around measurement of VO2max. Popular tests include a variety of gas analysis protocols, the Coopers Twelve Minute Run, Astrand cycle ergometer submaximal test, the Harvard Step Test and the Multi-Stage Fitness Test (Bleep Test). These have been developed to provide coaches and interested individuals with information about the aerobic fitness of athletes. These tests have been developed for a variety of clinical and sporting uses. There are cycling- and running-based assessment tools which allow for more specific testing between runners and cyclists. The variety of tests is beneficial because it allows for differentiation between sports, cyclists performing better on cycle-based aerobic tests and runners performing better on running tests.
The same variety of tests have not been available for assessing anaerobic performance. The most popular anaerobic test to date has been the WANT. As a cycle ergometer test it is more specific to cycle-based sports. The development of the RAST provides a running-based test of anaerobic performance.
Anaerobic literally means without oxygen. It relates to short-term high-energy production where the predominant fuels are produced without the necessity of oxygen. Tests for anaerobic performance aim to assess relatively short duration exercise bouts. Anaerobic performance is obviously relevant to sprinters, but also to those who play team and individual sports where there is an anaerobic component such as sprinting in football or hockey. Assessment of anaerobic performance can provide the coach with valuable information about the athletes' fitness status as well as allowing them to monitor improvement through training.
The WANT was developed during the 1970s at the Wingate institute in Israel (Inbar, Bar-or, & Skinner, 1996). The most commonly used test length has been 30 seconds. This is a time period for maximal efforts where the major fuel source is anaerobic. Athletes warm up for a period of five to 10 minutes and then rest for three to five minutes before starting the test. At the start of the test a resistance is lowered against the fly wheel. The resistance is calculated according to the body weight of each individual. The athlete has to pedal maximally throughout the test. The computer then calculates the maximal, minimal and average power outputs. The power output is measured every five seconds and the six points are used to plot a power curve for the athlete. From the maximal and minimum power outputs it is possible to calculate the fatigue index which is a measure of energy depletion over the 30 seconds. Each of these measures provides valuable information for the coach and as a consequence were built into the development of the RAST.
The Running-based Anaerobic Sprint Test
Prior to the test each athlete is weighed. They then need to warm up for a period of five to 10 minutes followed by a three to five minute recovery. The RAST is a six by 35m dis-continuous sprint. Each sprint represents a maximal effort with 10 seconds allowed between each sprint for turnaround. The time taken for each sprint should be recorded to the nearest hundredth of a second (the greater the accuracy the better). To perform the test accurately there will need to be two timers, one to time each run, the other to time the 10-second turnarounds. The athlete must sprint at maximum speed through the line each time. The arrangement for administration of the test can be seen in the diagram below. The next sprint starts from the opposite end of the measured track. The time between each run is designed to allow the athlete to return to the start line after running through the line, to record the time and reset the watch. The total running time is close to 30 seconds, making the test comparable with the WANT. At the end of the test the coach will have six times which can be used, along with body weight, to calculate maximal, minimal and average power outputs along with a fatigue index.
Example results and calculations
Power output for each sprint is found using the following formulas (Harman, 1995):
The result from the first sprint of one athlete (with a body weight of 74 kilograms and a first sprint of 4.79 seconds) at the University of Wolverhampton can be seen below.
The power output for the athlete's first run was therefore 825 watts. The power output for each of the other five sprints can be seen in the table below (having been calculated in exactly the same way)
From these power outputs the same measures as for the WANT can be easily found. Maximal power is the highest output, which in this case is the first sprint; 825 watts and minimum power the lowest output which is the final sprint; 376 watts. The average power is found by adding each of the outputs and dividing by 6 (the number of sprints); 3666/6 = 611 watts. The fatigue index is found by taking the minimum power away from the maximal power and then dividing by the total time for the sprints; (Max – Min 825 – 376 = 449), (Time 32.2) (Fatigue index = 449/32.2 = 14 watts/sec). The results can also be displayed on a graph and used to compare with previous results or other athletes.
Explanation of the results
Maximal/Peak Power Output: is a measure of highest power output. The range in scores in our research has been between 1054 and 676 watts. It provides information about strength and maximal sprint speed.
Minimum Power Output: reveals the lowest power output achieved and allows the calculation of fatigue index. The range in scores has been between 674 and 319 watts.
Average/Mean Power Output: gives an indication of an athlete's ability to maintain power over time. The higher this score the better the athlete's ability to maintain anaerobic performance.
Fatigue Index: indicates the rate at which power output declines for an athlete. The higher this rate the lower his or her ability to maintain power over the six runs. This can provide the coach with information about the athlete's anaerobic capacity or endurance. With a high fatigue index the athlete may need to focus on improving his or her lactate tolerance and this could be a focus of training.
Graphs: The above graph is designed to show how the results for an athlete could be plotted over time. The lower results represent an athlete's RAST prior to a training programme, the upper results after training. The training had a strong focus on weight training and sprint work with longer recoveries. The initial power output is improved through the training and the graph has moved upwards for all sprints, meaning that peak, minimum and average power outputs have risen. The fatigue index may be lower, showing improved anaerobic fitness; however, the greatest improvement is in peak performance which relates to the focus of training. The next phase of training would probably then aim to improve average and minimum power outputs while maintaining peak power. This could be carried out through an increased focus on lactate tolerance. Such rises would result in the slope of the curve (the fatigue rate) becoming less steep. This would indicate that the athlete was able to maintain higher power outputs over the time period, thus showing an improved anaerobic capacity.
Further information
The RAST can provide an excellent training indicator for athletes in a wide range of sports. The test is currently being used with a National League basketball team, footballers, sprinters, judo players and rugby players. Research into the RAST is continuing at the University of Wolverhampton. If you require any further information before trying the RAST, please contact either of the authors on (01902) 323058/323083.

Fox gave a pilot greenlight on Monday to "Pleading Guilty," a legal drama based on the novel by Scott Turow.
Project comes from Peter Chernin's new production shingle, and reps the first full-fledged pilot order for the new company. Chernin has several production commitments from Fox, which this would fall under.
Chernin's TV division, run by Katherine Pope, has several more projects still in contention at Fox (as well as CBS).
Jon Avnet is directing the pilot for "Pleading Guilty" and will exec produce. Jason Tracey, who wrote the script, is on board as a co-exec producer.
Chernin and Pope are exec producers as well.
"Pleading Guilty" centers on an ex-cop-turned-lawyer who is charged with figuring out what happened to his law firm's star litigator — as well as the millions of dollars that were tied to a class action lawsuit against the firm's biggest client.

Computer experts hack cars, exposing vulnerabilities
DETROIT — As cars become more like PCs on wheels, what's to stop a hacker from taking over yours?
In recent demonstrations, hackers have shown they can slam a car's brakes at freeway speeds, jerk the steering wheel and even shut down the engine — all from their laptops.
The hackers are publicizing their work to reveal vulnerabilities in a growing number of car computers. All cars and trucks contain anywhere from 20 to 70 computers. They control everything from the brakes to acceleration to the windows, and are connected to an internal network. A few hackers have recently managed to find their way into these intricate networks.
In one case, a pair manipulated two cars by plugging a laptop into a port beneath the dashboard where mechanics connect their computers to search for problems. Scarier yet, another group took control of a car's computers through cellular and Bluetooth connections, the compact disc player and even the tire pressure monitoring system.
To be sure, the "hackers" involved were well-intentioned computer security experts, and it took both groups months to break into the computers. And there have been no real-world cases of a hacker remotely taking over a car. But experts say high-tech hijackings will get easier as automakers give them full Internet access and add computer-controlled safety devices that take over driving duties, such as braking or steering, in emergencies. Another possibility: A tech-savvy thief could unlock the doors and drive off with your vehicle.
"The more technology they add to the vehicle, the more opportunities there are for that to be abused for nefarious purposes," says Rich Mogull, CEO of Phoenix-based Securosis, a security research firm. "Anything with a computer chip in it is vulnerable, history keeps showing us."
In the past 25 years, automakers have gradually computerized functions such as steering, braking, accelerating and shifting. Electronic gas pedal position sensors, for instance, are more reliable than the old throttle cables. Electronic parts also reduce weight and help cars use less gasoline.
The networks of little computers inside today's cars are fertile ground for hackers.
Charlie Miller, a St. Louis-based security engineer for Twitter, and fellow hacker Chris Valasek, director of intelligence at a Pittsburgh computer security consulting firm, maneuvered their way into the computer systems of a 2010 Toyota Prius and 2010 Ford Escape through a port used by mechanics.
"We could control steering, braking, acceleration to a certain extent, seat belts, lights, horn, speedometer, gas gauge," Valasek said. The two used a federal grant to expose the vulnerability of car computers. Even with their expertise, it took them nine months to get in.
Valasek and Miller released a report, including instructions on how to break into the cars' networks, at a hacker convention in August. They said they did so to draw attention to the problems and get automakers to fix them. The pair say automakers haven't added security to the ports.
Ford wouldn't comment other than a statement saying it takes security seriously, and that Miller and Valasek needed physical access to the cars to hack them.
Toyota said it has added security and continually tests to stay ahead of hackers. The company said its computers are programmed to recognize and reject rogue commands.

Findings released Friday showed that infant monkeys given vaccines officially recommended by the CDC and the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) exhibited autism-like symptoms. Lead investigator Laura Hewitson of the University of Pittsburgh and colleagues presented study results at the International Meeting for Autism Research (IMFAR) in London. Safety studies of medicines are typically conducted in monkeys prior to use in humans, yet such basic research on the current childhood vaccination regimen has never before been done. The abstracts presented at IMFAR, the world's top autism science conference, describe biological changes and altered behavior in vaccinated macaques that are similar to those observed in children with autism. Unvaccinated animals showed no such adverse outcomes. The vaccines given were those recommended for U.S. infants in the 1990s, including several with the mercury preservative thimerosal and the Measles-Mumps-Rubella vaccine. Rates of autism spectrum disorder among children born in the 1990s surged dramatically, from about 1 in 5,000 to 1 in 150 children. "This research underscores the critical need for more investigation into immunizations, mercury, and the alterations seen in autistic children," stated Lyn Redwood, director of SafeMinds. "SafeMinds calls for large scale, unbiased studies that look at medical conditions associated with autism and the effects of vaccines given as a regimen." The group's request for research echoes that of Dr. Bernadine Healy, Former NIH Director, in a CBS interview earlier this week. She asserted that public health officials have been too quick to dismiss an autism-vaccine connection when the research has been insufficient. The government recently conceded a federal vaccine court case which agreed that a child regressed into autism as a result of 9 vaccines given on one day. "The full implications of this primate study await publication of the research in a scientific journal," noted Theresa Wrangham, president of SafeMinds. "But we can say that it demonstrates how the CDC evaded their responsibility to investigate vaccine safety questions. Vaccine safety oversight should be removed from the CDC and given to an independent agency." More information about SafeMinds (including neurodevelopmental disorders, autism and mercury exposure) may be found at http://www.safeminds.org
A primate model for autism using the U.S. children's immunization schedule was unveiled at the International Meeting For Autism Research (IMFAR) this weekend. The research underscores the critical need for studies into vaccine safety and the immune and mitochondrial dysfunction of autistic children. The National Autism Association (NAA) questions why the government hasn't undertaken these vital studies and why researchers have had to depend on private money to perform this critical science that will surely impact the health of millions of children worldwide. Using infant macaque monkeys, University of Pittsburgh's Dr. Laura Hewitson, Ph.D., described how vaccinated animals, when compared to unvaccinated animals, showed significant neurodevelopmental deficits and "significant associations between specific aberrant social and non-social behaviors, isotope binding, and vaccine exposure." Researchers also reported, "vaccinated animals exhibited progressively severe chronic active inflammation whereas unexposed animals did not" and found "many significant differences in the GI tissue gene expression profiles between vaccinated and unvaccinated animals." Gastrointestinal issues are a common symptom of children with regressive autism. NAA calls for the NIH to conduct large scale, non-epidemiological studies into the biomedical symptoms surrounding young children and all vaccines, including those containing the mercury-based preservative thimerosal and other additives like aluminum. This request for further research echoes that of Dr. Bernadine Healy, Former NIH Director in a CBS interview earlier this week. "I think public health officials have been too quick to dismiss the hypothesis as 'irrational,' without sufficient studies of causation...without studying the population that got sick," Healy said. "I have not seen major studies that focus on 300 kids who got autistic symptoms within a period of a few weeks of the vaccines." Recently the government's vaccine court conceded the case of Hannah Poling, admitting that vaccines triggered her regression into autism by exacerbating mitochondrial dysfunction. "The recent Poling case and this new research provide further evidence that the CDC has fallen down on their job to protect children from harm. The biomedical research to date suggests that parental reports of regression following vaccination is not only plausible, but likely in certain individuals," said Scott Bono, NAA Chairman. "To date, the CDC has conducted no safety testing on the possible harmful effects of simultaneously administering multiple vaccines to infants, and has steadfastly refused to state a preference for mercury-free vaccines to be given to children and pregnant women. It's time for HHS and Congress to step in and take vaccine safety away from the CDC." On June 4th, parents of vaccine-injured children will rally for toxin-free immunizations in Washington, DC. For more information about the "Green Our Vaccines" rally or the new primate study visit http://www.nationalautism.org. National Autism Association http://www.nationalautism.org
There's no such thing as a toxin free vaccine. Vaccines are made of toxins - germs of a disease, so that the body will recognise that disease and build an immune response to it, for instance, like with Tetanus Toxoid in the DTaP vaccine. Without toxins there is no vaccine. If you want your children to be toxin free, the only way to do it is be vaccine free.

Stealing Ideas
People don't seem to understand the difference between stealing and copying.
When you copy something from someone, you have a copied object and the other party has the original object, or maybe vice-versa.
When you steal something from someone, you have the stolen object, and the other party no longer has what you stole.
This is why stealing an idea is so fundamentally different and difficult. Proof of possession requires you to take that idea, and manifest it into the world to the point that there is no doubt that that idea is yours and yours alone.
A task made more Sisyphean, because furthermore all ideas exists in context and as derivatives of ideas past and present, local and global. To carelessly claim ownership of an idea is like asking for a deed to a wave in the ocean.
The distance a good idea asks you to travel is far, as great ideas are reflections of you. It represents
