EUGENE, Ore. – Graduate student Juliet Bottorff secured the third NCAA Outdoor Track & Field All-America honor of her career Thursday after placing third in the final of the women's 10,000 in Eugene, Ore. In addition to Bottorff, Duke also fielded a women's 4x400 relay at nationals for the first time in school history.
Bottorff, finishing in a time of 32:37.46, became the first female in Duke history to secure three outdoor track & field All-America honors, earning her previous two in 2011 and 2012. In 2011, Bottorff won the national title in the 10,000, earning First Team All-America honors, while in 2012, the Newark, Del., native garnered Second Team All-America honors after placing 14th at the same distance.
Bottorff, competing in her fourth outdoor national championship, showcased her experience throughout the race, exhibiting no signs of nerves as the contest unfolded. After settling into the front of the pack in the early stages, Bottorff clocked nearly identical miles over the first 3,200, running splits of 5:17.25 and 5:18.72, respectively. Michigan freshman Erin Finn took over the lead just after the 4,000m mark, eventually causing a pack of six, including Bottorff, to separate from the remainder of the field.
Biding her time in the pack, Bottorff waited until one mile remained before making a move, swinging out to lane two and passing Erin Finn to take over the lead.
"I left it up to her when to go," said Associate Head Coach Kevin Jermyn. "We generally talked about a certain distance. It was really windy out so it wasn't easy to lead. Right around the mile, I gave her the green light to consider going if she felt good. We felt like it was another advantage to try and make a long drive to the finish as opposed to just an all-out last 200 or 400 to maximize her position in the race."
Bottorff held the lead with 400 meters remaining before Boise State's Emma Bates and Alabama Birmingham's Elinor Kirk moved ahead. Although putting in a valiant effort in response to the move of Bates and Kirk, Bottorff was unable to maintain the closing pace of her competitors, holding her third-place position as she crossed the line.
The women's 4x400, comprised of juniors Lauren Hansson and Elizabeth Kerpon, redshirt sophomore Teddi Maslowski and freshman Madeline Kopp, kick started the competition for Duke with a 17th-place overall finish in the semifinal round of the event, clocking a time of 3:36.34. Hansson and Kopp opened the relay for the Blue Devils in heat one, covering the first two legs in a combined time of 1:49.19. After receiving the baton from Kopp in seventh place, Maslowski clocked the fifth-fastest penultimate leg in the field, running a 400m split of 53.42 and moving Duke into the fifth position. Kerpon, the anchor for every Duke 4x400 this season, covered the final 400 in a time of 53.74, crossing the line in sixth for the Blue Devils.
Bottorff returns to the track for the final of the 5,000, scheduled for Saturday at 6:24 p.m.
"[Juliet] was really good running the 5k this year so we feel pretty optimistic that she can contend for an All-American position," Jermyn said. "We haven't done a lot of doubling in her career until this year. Indoor she ran a 5k and 3k double at the ACC indoor meet, and she felt really good during the 3k. Then she did it at ACC outdoors and again at the prelim meet, so she's gained a lot of experience and she's handled doubling well so far this year. I think she's really happy how she performed, like she left it all out there today. She couldn't have done any better, but I think she has a little more fire and a little more competitiveness in her that I think she wants to go out there and do something she's never done before."

This page describes a two-vector retrovirus format for inducible expression. Click this link to learn more about Clontech's all-in-one Retro-X Tet-One Inducible Expression Systems. The Retro-X Tet-On 3G Inducible Expression System combines the efficiency of retroviral gene transfer with the power of our premium tetracycline-regulated gene expression technology. The retroviral vectors in this system can be used to establish a tightly controlled inducible gene expression system in a wide variety of primary cell cultures and immortalized cell lines.
Doxycycline-controlled "transactivators" are fusion proteins that contain a DNA-binding TetR domain joined to three minimal transcription activation domains from VP16 (Tet-On 3G, Tet-On Advanced and Tet-Off Advanced proteins). With very high specificity, these transactivators recognize and bind to a Tetracycline Response Element (TRE) that is located in the PTRE3GV promoter upstream your gene of interest. Binding of the transactivator to the TRE promoter results in strong activation of the downstream gene. Tet-On 3G is the premium 3rd generation version of the technology, with the tightest TRE promoter and most sensitive transactivator.
In Tet-On systems, gene expression is activated by the addition of Dox to the growth medium.
Retro-X Tet-On 3G systems are supplied with our Retro-X Universal Packaging System (Cat. No. 631530) which produces high titers of MMLV retrovirus and allows you to customize the tropism of your retrovirus to efficiently transduce any cell line or primary cell culture, and thus greatly expands the applications for these inducible systems.
The vectors in these systems feature Clontech's Retro-X Q-Series technology, which:

Westminster police spokesman Trevor Materasso said the body found Wednesday afternoon, Oct. 10, is not intact, which is slowing positive identification.
The family of Jessica Ridgeway was notified that the police department would reveal that the body found near Pattridge Park Open Space in Arvada was dismembered, Materasso said Thursday afternoon.
Police do not expect to confirm the identity of the body until at least Friday.
"At this point, we don't have additional information we can provide," Materasso said at briefing at about 12:15 p.m.
Thursday afternoon, police were guarding the front door of the home where Jessica was seen heading for school Friday morning.
Thursday that canvassing in Westminster neighborhoods near where Jessica disappeared will continue, as will searches in other open space areas.
RTD buses that appeared to be carrying additional investigators arrived early Thursday at Westminster police headquarters. Other buses continued to bring teams of law enforcement throughout the morning. There are 35 agencies participating in the investigation Thursday.
Parts of some roads will remain closed Thursday as investigators work the crime scene where the body was found in Arvada near the Pattridge Park Open Space. Arvada police said that includes West 82nd Avenue between Colorado 93 and Indiana Street.
Federal and police investigators swarmed a grassy area north of West 82nd Avenue and east of the BFI landfill on Wednesday. They were aided by lights and were using a firetruck's extended ladder to get a better view. Their work was focused near a building that appears to be a remnant of an old mining operation.
Jessica was last seen at 8:30 a.m. Oct. 5 as she left her home on Moore Street in Westminster. She was to meet with classmates at nearby Chelsea Park to walk to Witt Elementary, but she never arrived at school that morning. Her mother, Sarah Ridgeway, a night-shift worker, slept during the day and awoke to find a message that her daughter never made it to school and reported her missing around 4:30 p.m. Oct. 5.
On Sunday, Oct. 7, Jessica's backpack was found in Superior. Police have said it is being analyzed for DNA evidence.
Investigators have ruled out Jessica's parents as possible suspects in the 10-year-old's disappearance, focusing on an unknown suspect who is believed to have abducted her.
On Thursday the Federal Bureau of Investigation announced that the case of a child abduction in Cody, Wyo., is not related to Jessica's disappearance. In the Cody case, an 11-year-old girl and a friend were approached Oct. 8 by a man in a white sports utility vehicle who asked for help finding his lost puppy. When the 11-year-old approached the vehicle, the man showed a pistol and told her to get into the front passenger seat.
The girl was released, but the perpetrator is still at large. The FBI said investigators do not believe the Colorado and Wyoming cases are related.

One researcher, two potential growers, three product handlers and two state cops are among the people who will serve on Oregon's industrial hemp advisory committee.
The group was appointed by the state Department of Agriculture to draft rules for growing and selling hemp, which advocates believe has wide food, fiber and oil uses and could be a lucrative alternative crop for farmers. The committee met for the first time Dec. 17. It hopes to develop rules for cultivating and handling industrial hemp by early 2014.
Members are Tomas Endicott of Willamette Biomass Processors, Gerry Shapiro of Merry Hempsters and Tim Pate, all described as handlers; growers Charles Ortiz and Rick Rutherford; Ian Tolleson of the Oregon Farm Bureau; Fred Testa and Matthew Lawson of the Oregon State Police; Hillary Barbour of U.S. Rep. Earl Blumenauer's office and Kevin Moore of state Sen. Floyd Prozanski's office; and Russ Karow, chair of the Crop and Soil Science Department at Oregon State University.
The Oregon Legislature legalized hemp cultivation in 2009, but the law was never implemented because federal law classified hemp the same as marijuana. Industrial hemp is low in THC, the agent that makes pot smokers high.
In August, the U.S. Department of Justice said it would not prosecute cases in states such as Washington and Colorado that have legalized pot and established a strong regulatory program. The U.S. attorney for Oregon said that means hemp is legal as well, because it was classified the same as pot.
The law passed by the Legislature requires all growers and handlers to get a license from the ag department, and said hemp fields have to be at least 2.5 acres. Ag inspectors would be allowed to take plant samples and test for THC levels. The cropwide average could not exceed .3 percent; pot has THC levels ranging from 5 percent to 20 percent, according to various sources.

Ann came to the rescue with the following solution.
Begin forwarded message:
From: Ann Tanner
> Date: June 1, 2011 11:30:35 AM MDT
> To: Bob and Judy Petersen
> Subject: Here's Whatcha Do Maybe
> This is a story book problem at its best.
> Major accounting issue:
> 1. Louise's book $20.00 divided by 3 = 6.35 paid by E. J. A.
> 2. Judy's book $20.00 divided by 2 = 10.00 paid by E. A.
> 3. Elizabeth's book $20.00 divided by 2 = 10.00 paid by J. A.
> 4. Ann's book $20.00 divided by 2 = 10.00 paid by E. J.
> So, now, who owes what to whom, you ask.
> Well - here's whatcha do.
> Elizabeth bought three books, Ann bought one book.
> Elizabeth, Judy and Ann send Elizabeth 6.35 each for Louise's book.
> Elizabeth and Ann pay 10.00 each for Judy's book.
> Judy and Ann pay 10.00 each for Elizabeth's book.
> Elizabeth and Judy pay 10.00 each for Ann's book.
> So each one of us owes $26.35 somewhere, somehow.
> Now, this is where it gets tricky.
> Judy sends Elizabeth $16.35 for Louise's book and Elizabeth's book. She sends 10.00 to Ann for her book (that she bought for herself, so does this qualify? If so, I can see a small business with potential. Shall I let you know when I buy more books?).
> Ann would normally (Is any of this normal????) send Elizabeth $26.35 for Judy's and Elizabeth's and Louise's books, but since she got in a hurry and bought her own book (yes, some of us remember to click on "place order" on Amazon so it doesn't take forever for an order to arrive), and paid for it herself, she really complicated matters. Elizabeth would owe Ann $10.00 for her (Ann's) book, however since Ann paid for it herself, but owes Elizabeth money, then this will balance (?) out. Ann will owe Elizabeth $16.35 - just wait - it will work out, maybe.
> Elizabeth would normally (? ?) send Ann 10.00 for her book and pay $16.35 for Louise's and Judy's books, but since she already paid for the books, that is Louise's and Judy's books, Elizabeth won't send anything to Ann, which will, in turn pay for part of Ann's portion.
> Now, the question is, does this balance out?
> Judy will pay $26.35. (She owes Ann $10.00 and Elizabeth $16.35)
> Elizabeth will pay $26.35, which she has already paid (she owes Ann $10.00, Ann owes her $26.35, so subtracting the $10.00, Ann now owes Elizabeth $16.35)
> Ann will pay $26.35, however see note directly above. So Ann owes $16.35.
> So - the total ins and outs should/will come to $79.05.
> Now, if Judy sends Elizabeth $26.35, then Ann will need to send Elizabeth only 6.35, because instead of Judy sending money to me (Ann) that I would then send to Elizabeth, it would definitely simplify ??????? the situation.
> And that's whatcha do. Whew, I am going to play in the flowers.

In using this method (which you aren't now), the default appearance of the Japanese text images in query results is white text on a transparent background (if your viewer supports the GIF89a standard, a black background otherwise), with characters 26 pixels square. You can change these defaults by selecting the appropriate items in the form on the main dictionary page, if you enter it in image mode.

You'll probably find that one is a bit easier to see than the other. As it is, since you're in JIS mode, the fonts and such be set by you at your client. Visually pleasing integration with your local (i.e. English) fonts. Access speed: characters from larger fonts take more time to transfer, although it seems that most of the time is in the per-image transfer overhead. In practice, a 48 bit font should result in images about four times larger than a 16 bit font, but access doesn't seem to be all that much slower.... the main time cost is in the per-transfer overhead. The fastest, of course, is using a standard encoding method, such as the JIS you're using now.
You can have this feature turned on for you automatically using the
customization features of this server.
Vertical Printing
There's also the option of having the server emit Japanese text as images
in a vertical manner. In the server's case, this is done by rotating each
character counter-clockwise 90 degrees before generating the image. While
this leaves you the work of rotating the whole image clockwise using
an image manipulation program, doing it this way saves from creating
a messy presentation on the screen. As this process is a bit
calculation-intensive, you'll need to wait longer for the images to be
generated as they load into your web browser.

Clayton tells what went well and what went 'not so well'
Although December's financial report was barren of good news, the year 2012 had much that went well for Phelps County Regional Medical Center's balance sheet and income statement, Chief Financial Officer Ed Clayton reported to the hospital board's Finance Committee Wednesday night.
Clayton presented 11 items in his report on 2012 highlights during the 5:30 p.m. committee meeting prior to the full board meeting.
He broke his report into two parts: what went well and what didn't go so well.
First, here's what went well:
There was solid growth in cash and investments. The hospital ended the year 2012 with $83.4 million in cash and investments, up by $6.6 million from the 2011 ending total.
"Cash is cash, cash is good," Clayton said, grinning.
Meanwhile, long-term debt was significantly reduced by $10 million. It was $37.6 million at the end of 2011, $27.6 million at the close of 2012.
The financial "cushion" increased. That's cash plus investment minus the debt. It totaled around $55 million at the end of 2012, up from about $39 million at the end of 2011.
Paying down debt is one thing and saving/investing money another. "To do both is not an easy feat," Clayton said.
n There was a decrease in the number of days in accounts receivable. The total was 44.1 days in 2012 and 47.6 in 2011. That decrease of 3.5 days has an impact of $1.6 million.
Non-operating revenue was way up from 2011, totaling $4.9 million in 2012. It had been just $800,000 in 2011, although it was $4 million in 2010.
Wage and salary costs were down by $1 million to $54.6 million in 2012.
"And there was a pay increase in 2012," Clayton said.
Now, here's what went "not so well," according to Clayton:
Inpatient volume was down, 99 average daily census in 2011, 92 in 2012. Inpatient surgeries dropped from 1,325 to 1,040.
Outpatient volume, though up overall, was down in key areas: emergency department, 37,542 in 2011 and 36,842 in 2012; medical oncology (chemotherapy), 4,586 in 2011 and 4,063 in 2012; radiation oncology, 6,689 in 2011, 6,211 in 2012; sleep lab, 1,312 in 2011, 977 in 2012.
n Bad debt increased as a percentage of net revenue: 12.5 percent in 2011, 13.3 percent in 2012. The hospital provided approximately $30 million in uncompensated care in 2012.
Income from operations was flat in 2012. It had been budgeted to be $3,805,000, but was just $153,000 in actual revenue.
December was a negative month, Clayton said in his report on the monthly financial highlights. Patient volume was 228 (budgeted 256) and average daily census was 86.
Income from operations was $17.5 million (budgeted $19.1 million).
Expenses were $19.1 million ($18.7 budgeted), so the month had a loss of $1.6 million.
The non-operating revenue helped a little, moving the loss to $1.3 million.
Clayton presented the board with other negative reports during the Finance Committee.
He updated the board on the "fiscal cliff" action by the U.S. Congress, nothing that "we are not out of the woods with sequestration."
Also, regarding other federal action on health care reimbursements to hospitals, Mediate inpatient coding changes that will take effect in October 2013 will have a $700,000 reduction in payments for each of the following four years, meaning a $2.8 million impact on PCRMC.

Wikipedia Popular Pages Stats Prove That Most Americans and Brits Are Stupid. And What Beggar Jimmy Wales and His Army Want Your $5 For
(The Essjay Scandal and It's Effect On Wikipedia's Donations for the Months Ahead)
Wikipedia is a propaganda tool for anti-Christians and narcissists who want to somehow prove that they are superior to those around them and to feed their craving for attention, but without risking their public reputation by being exposed as cyberbullies and retaliation against them for it (hence why they hide their identities). The goal of Wikipedia is also to subtly fool people into thinking that Wikipedia is trustworthy and that the Bible is only partially reliable and ultimately that since there is no God to answer to or who can hurt or reward anyone, that whoever has the control (which wouldn't be God) makes right, as a narcissist might say.
So what does Jimmy Wales and his army of gullibles want our money for, or as Jimmy puts it currently, our $5 for? They seem to fancy that ht money is meant to enlighten you about anything and everything you want to know about, but it's not that simple. First, the obvious: Wikipedia is an excellent propaganda tool. The information on it can be found elsewhere, and it puts it together on one page. So what. Second, the money doesn't just go to bandwidth in general, it's used up mostly on stupid pages (see list of stupid waste of bandwidth pages below). Guess why? Because most of the world is stupid. I'm sure the idea is to get people to think, "Wow Wikipedia got this right, wow it let me know all these cool facts really fast about Michael Jackson and din't make fun of him, my hero, at all" so that when Wikipedia says that evolution is true and creationism false, the same idiot will think, "Well they got MJ's profile right, so they must be trustworthy with everything else," in the hopes that such morons will influence others to be the same way till there are no Christians left, just stupid and easy-to-manipulate people who won't make them (the Wikipedia know-it-alls) feel bad for being the immoral, self-centered, lying, hypocrite, manipulators that they are. So, what those donations are mostly covering are pages that don't further civilization/advancement in living longer, happier, with an improved knowledge of the most helpful truths for those things, but instead, destroy it. Here's the top 100 most popular pages on Wikipedia for 2009, with my comments written after the number of people given who viewed the page for the year).
1. Wiki (131,383 page hits per day) = 47,954,795 total views for the year. So, Jimmy Wales wants Christians, all theists, and all atheist to pay $5 to teach people that he invented Wikipedia (false)? Cuz that's the claim where "Wiki" ends up leading visitors to.
2. The Beatles (111,896) = 40,842,040 million hits a year. Jimmy Wales wants Christians, all theists, to pay $5 so the world can learn about the Beatles? No Jimmy atheist, no.
3. Michael Jackson (79,734) = 29,102,910. Jimmy Wales wants Christians, all theists, to pay $5 so the world can learn about Homosexual Pedophile-inclined singer with multiple bad nose jobs even in the controversy section, which Jimmy whitewashes out of the MJ article? Because? Is Wikipedia for celebrity promoting and advertising Jimmy? No Jimmy Atheist Wales, you're not getting my money.
4. Favicon.ico (78,077) = 28,498,105. No Jimmy, won't be donating so that you can have more bandwidth to teach people about favicon.ico.
5. YouTube (72,318) = 28,498,105. No I won't donate $5 so you can learn about Youtube, just go to Youtube and learn from Youtube itself.
6. Wikipedia (52,542) = 19,177,830. No I'm not donating $5 so you can learn about Wikipedia or learn a new random fact from it's homepage.
7. Barack Obama (49,401). Liberal fodder. No five.
8. Deaths in 2009 (48,758). Lovely what attracts the non-Christian and false Christian world. Not "Breakthroughs of 2009" not "Greatest achievements of 2009" or just all time world-benefiting breakthroughs or achievements, not even for the decade, no, it's "deaths for this year." And the anti-Christian world says Christians are morbid and full of hate? Backwards, evil, blind, negative idiots. You're not inspiring at all anti-Christians, you're depressing and morbid with an unhealthy interest in pain, fighting and death.
9. United States (46,545). You can only learn about the US from Wikipedia? Nope, far from it. There's city-data, the CIA, and many other sites.
10. Facebook (42,679). Try watching Social Networking first.
11. Current events portal [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal:Current_events] (40,962). An encyclopedia of current events? Uh… what happened to CNN, Fox, ABC, NBC, Reuters, Bloomberg, Asianews, CNBC, and using the many years old RSS feed button? No five dollars.
12. World War II (29,736). But you won't be learning that Hitler was a narcissist who endorsed atheism. No five for you.
13. Twitter (28,511). Boring. No five.
14. Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (28,395). Of course anti-social nerds with no life and little kids are attracted to Wikipedia: it talks about anything and everything except actually giving all the facts against evolutionism, big bangism, and the Jimmy Wales Wikipedia cult.
15. Slumdog Millionaire (26,755). That's an important topic to use up thousands of dollars of bandwidth for isn't it? No. No five let alone five million.
16. Lil Wayne (26,210). But not Jesus. No five.
17. Adolf Hitler (25,481). No five unless you're going to point out Hitler had narcissism disorder and endorsed the atheist Nietzsche's books (and in stop lying about Christians, Christian history and the Bible).
18. India (25,380). Like the USA, you can learn about India from plenty of other sources than the untrustworthy Wikipedia. I know that Indians are one of the main drivers of the traffic to that page. It's also one of the most popular because India has one of the world's largest populations.
19. Transformers 2 (24,842). Fail again.
20. Scrubs (TV series) (24,758). And again.
21. Sex (24,754). Nope: can't learn about sex elsewhere: you need Jimmy Wales to explain it to you. And like a hodgepodge fest of narcissist atheist nerds have any business teaching anyone about sex? Eeek.
22. Rhianna (24,670). Wow, no. I wonder why Jenna Jameson isn't in the top 100. Says a lot that no matter how much you whore yourself and no matter how beautiful you still won't make the top 100 in Wikipedia.
23. United Kingdom (24,300). Same as USA and India: look elsewhere.
24. Abraham Lincoln (23,743). Hmmm, let me guess if there would be an atheist spin on Abraham Lincoln. I wonder why American Civil War and the American Revolution aren't in the top 100. I know those are standard public school topics. Maybe liberals have marginalized them for fear of being accused of spreading Christian teachings.
25. Heroes (TV series) (23,569). No I won't donate to Wikipedia.
26. Watchmen (film) (23,544). No Jimmy Silly Wales, I can always go to IMDB.
27. Lady GaGa (23,376). No I won't give $5 so you can learn extensive information about the idiot narcissist who wears meat on her head and thinks the most important thing in life is looking like a rich crazy. Anyone know what a dandy is?
28. Star Trek (film) (22,990). Atheist Trek.
29. 2009 Swine Flu outbreak (22,968). I really wanna give $5 for atheist propaganda allied with the CDC (Center for Disease Censorship and Propaganda that started off with deadly experiments on humans). Not.
30. Featured content portal (22,829). So Wikipedia home page gets 19,177,830 hits a year, + millions more to their ,"Recommended by atheist narcissist control-freak nerds for the day" page. No five.
31. Megan Fox (22,573). And no one is hotter than MF? Sad. No five for the nerds who obsess on MF on Wikinerdia.
32. Naruto (22,573). Wow, kid and nerdfest. Where's Pokemon?
33. Australia (22,544). See popular page 38.
34. Canada (22,437). Canada? Wonder if it has anything to do with marijuana.
35. World War I (22,307). Oh I get it: in American public school they have you do a piece on WWI and WW2, so guess where all the kids and teens and college students go for quick facts to reword, and why: cuz Google and Yahoo put it on the top five results (and no doubt those $5 bills are going to pay Google to be on the top ten.)
36. Vagina (22,295). Of course Jimmy is using the world's money to teach everyone about the female private parts. No five.
37. List of House episodes (21,950). Wow, talk about sad net pollution.
38. Japan (21,797). (Oh I see why now Germany, Japan, China, Russia, Australia, the UK and the US are in the top 100, after I read through the top 100 and had a lil drink of beer): they were the major players in WWI AND WWII and linked to those pages.
39. Martin Luther King Jr (21,786). I wonder if shampedia mentions that MLK JR was an adulterer who preached a social gospel (a false gospel). Obviously this is public school generated traffic and white washed to appease blacks.
40. Miley Cyrus (21,724). Nerds.
41. Robert Pattinson (21,515). Not Pat Robertson? No, Wikipedia doesn't want you to learn more about a false Christian and why he's false. Instead it wants to cater and pander to Twlight obsessed emoMoron nerds like themselves. E-morons are not getting my $5 to learn about a pretty boy.
42. Deadpool (comics) (21,264). Shallow silly nerds who think reading narcissistic babble in comic book = learning something useful. Interesting that Superman, Dare Devil, Ghost Rider, Spiderman, Spawn, Hulk and Punisher aren't in the top 100. I'm sure they're close by though.
43. Twilight (2008 film) (21,158). Shallow nerds. It says a lot that Wikipedia attracts people who are into shedding blood and using violence to get there way and pretending to have super powers.
44. Windows 7 (21,018). Yawn. No where else in the universe can you learn about Windows 7 except Wikipedia? Try Annoyances.org. No doubt Jimmy Wales is friends with the ultimate nerd and pays to get that page in Google's top five so that Bill Gates, a closet atheist (who wants the world's population reduced to only what he considers the perfect special people), is put in a good light. I'd bet the people going to this page are W7-haters and elderly people who rarely use a computer and looking for info on them.
45. House (TV series) (20,882). No five.
46. Terminator Salvation (20,743). Nerds.
47. Kristen Stewart (20,538). Nerds.
48. Internet Movie Database (20,422). What? Dumb.
49. 2012 (20,347). New Age nerds : )
50. X-Men Origins: Wolverine (20,150). Ultra nerds.
51. Penis (20,076). Sad. I'm sure this is a page popular with sociopaths and psychopaths.
52. List of Presidents of the United States (19,884). Public school fodder. A clever way to draw in kids to Wikipedia and to get them to trust Wikipedia as a reliable source of info, including the Big Bang, abiogensis, and evolution pages. Evil.
53. List of sex positions (19,876). Ultimate nerd and new age grannies fodder. This page I bet links to India too, which would cause India to have higher traffic than many other pages and countries.
54. Masturbation (19,730). N.E.R.D.S., and kids.
55. William Shakespeare (19,714). Emo and narcissist fodder. Jesus should at least be here.
56. Farrah Fawcett (19,584). Wow nerdy.
57. Germany (19,514). Not "beer"?
58. Swine flu (19,092). CDC propaganda page.
59. Israel (19,077). See above. (Yeah atheists are really gonna be experts on Israel).
60. Google (19,070). Of course.
61. George W. Bush (18,964). Liberal fodder.
62. Global warming (18,809). LOL.
63. Wikipedia About Page (18,803). WOW. Six million+ people a year go to learn the Jimmy Wales invented Wikipedia fantasy and that Wikipedia is mostly free of bias it's atheists claim. No five, for wasting time.
64. New York City (18,251). The mecca or narcissist/dandies, liberals, atheists, and the avaricious.
65. Tupac Shakur (18,186). Losers.
66. Taylor Swift (18,101). Of course the Swift fans making sure everything is factual.
67. Henry VIII of England (17,912). Because atheists need to find dirt about the funder of the King James Bible. "Did you know HVIII was a homosexual you fundies!? Therefore the KJV is bad and God doesn't exist and the KJV shouldn't be read and Christianity fails." Atheist logic = roach poop.
68. Jade Goody (17,802). Who? Don't care. Wait, let me guess, something to do with Twilight?
69. Sexual intercourse (17,716). NERDS.
70. The Notorious B.I.G. (17,572). WOW, SAD.
71. Human penis size (17,403). ULTRA SAD NERDFEST. Of course it's the kids too.
72. 2009 in film (17,270). Try IMDB instead.
73. Anal sex (17,052). Wow nerds, get lives.
74. Twilight (novel) (17,040). *Shakes head*. What happened to Star Wars and Harry Potter? Are they too intellectual for nerds?
75. Natasha Richardson (17,001). Who? Oh is that Charlie Sheen's wife? No that's Denise.
76. China (16,935). Wow never heard of China. Gotta go to Wikipedia to learn… oh: Chinese going to read about themselves. Probably public school fodder too. No doubt anti-communists and conservatives wondering what the atheist liberals have to say about their atheist "one child for Chinese citizens only or we'll kill your extra kid and sterilize you" brethren.
77. American Idol (16,728). Booooooooring.
78. MySpace (16,240). Super boring.
79. France (16,198). Bleah.
80. Metallica (16,110). Nerds trying to be cool by swinging their heads up and down with long hair and shutting out the world with earphones and pretending to play the drums. Really sad and really anti-social.
81. Relapse (album) (16,099). Whatever. Where's Bach, Mozart or Vivaldi? Not Chinese or Greek ancient music? Not medieval or renaissance "age of atheist enlightenment" music? … oh, cuz the music wasn't enlightened by atheists. Fail.
82. List of Family Guy episodes (15,961). Massive conniving atheist nerd fail. Where's South Park? I guess it would be too embarrassing for atheists to frequent a page about paper cut outs babbling childish nonsense? Pathetic.
83. Bleach (manga) (15,947). But not Hentai? I'm sure in a few years Hentai will pop up in the top 100.
84. Russia (15,674). Same as China: learn elsewhere. Wait, the Russians must be googling, "What does helve Westerners think ehbout Russia, what say them on wooorld's most poopular ensickcloopedia?"
85. Mickey Rourke (15,616). Sounds familiar.
86. Jonas Brothers (15,561). Gay nerds?
87. Vietnam War (15,306). Public school fodder, college fodder, Vietnamese and American veterans and their family doing fact-checking. no doubt to me.
88. Kim Kardashian (15,213). What? Not Kim Jong Il?
89. Lost (season 5) (15,107). Atheist and liberals are truly lost.
90. Selena Gomez (15,086). Get a life. She's dead. I wonder how many Mexicans make up the traffic to that page.
91. Wolverine (comics) (15,062). Lol nerds.
92. Family Guy (15,013). This again? Talk about obsessed.
93. Valentine's Day (14,924). Huh… I wonder why nerds are so interested in this day… oh, never mind. I can just imagine, "We'll you see my nerd blow up doll girlfriend, this isn't really a day that needs to be celebrated because it's really a Catholic thing, and look how much people spend on this day to give silly gifts. See, it's all about making money, so we can safely ignore this day."
94. Hotmail (14,880). Holy nerd fest.
95. The Dark Knight (film) (14,782). Ultra nerd fest.
96. America's Next Top Model (14,752). So sad, nerds have no life.
97. Mexico (14,709). Nerds wishing to escape to the greener grass on the other side, dreaming of seducing an ignorant poor chica. I wonder if there's such thing as Mexican brides.
98. Batman (14,654). Classic nerd icon.
99. List of Heroes episodes (14,652). *Shakes head.* No five.
100. Pornography (14,650). Of course: the ultimate atheist liberal kids-looking-for-easy-porn nerd food. I wonder if Hentai is somewhere in there.
How are atheists and liberals supposed to be more informed about Christianity and religion then Christians when no where in these top 100 is anything about religion, not even about the worlds biggest religions, not even Catholicism, not even the Bible or most popular Bible verse, "Do to others as you'd have them do to you," or "mistakes in the Bible" even, and not even EVOLUTION! Not DARWIN, NOT CARL SAGAN, NOT MICHIO KAKU, not the word "atheist" or "Big Bang" or "arguments against religion." And only two wars (no doubt atheists looking for something to blame theists on too) but not the Crusades which atheists love to use as a sole top example of why not to be religious (talk about simple-minded and not reasoning)? WIKIPEDIA IS AWESOME: because it is useful for showing what is on the mind of non-Christians and anti-Christians, even the rest of the world (which no doubt to me parallels the English world's fixations and idols). It shows atheists, liberals, anti-Christians and the world in general is NOT scholarly, is not more interested in what matters most in life, but rather, temporary pleasure fixes, what kids and silly females and boys are interested in for the moment. Tis is what the atheists loons, nerds with no life, and liberals attract with Widgetpedia: Shallow morons, narcissists, kids, teens, recluses, fanboys and fangirls, in other words, stupid people, shallow people, ignorant people, those curious about what liberals have to say about pop culture figures and idolaters/man-worshipers. What a whopping massive monster of a fail. But of course, it's not a fail in that atheists have managed to put a somewhat fun and professional face on the chaotic, warped, morbid mass-murder-filled face of atheism, and the atheists who pretend that atheism = "this life now matters most (meaning their life, not yours)" rather than simply meaning "no belief in God or gods." But again, a fail: because Wikipedia's information content would have had to have come mostly from theists, since atheists only make up 4% of the world by some estimates, and there is no way it's more than 10%, and there's no evidence that atheists contribute more information than theists. It's the crazy shattered-mirror reflection of the combined faces of the atheists and liberals in control of Wikipedia.
It's a satisfying feeling to know Wikipedia's bandwidth is being drained away on stupidity. Hopefully one day an EMP will disable that monster propaganda machine, or God will take it over.

Top 10 Reasons Not to Donate to Wikipedia (haven't read it yet)
Jan/13/2011: "Jimmy Wales says Wikipedia too complicated for many." Thanks Captain Obvious. Now guess why Wikipedia is mostly staffed by obsessive compulsive, social misfits and hatemongers with no lives, aka: "geeks"?
The narcissist prizes attention, the psychopath is a sadist, the addict cares only for comfort and pleasure.
A true Christian seeks to conform to God's will; a self-centered man exalts his own will.
A logical man sees the universe and worships the Designer; an when an atheist sees it he resents his powerlessness, envies and scoffs.
To deny God's existence is to deny the existence of truth and right from wrong because without a God, right and wrong are simply opinions of imperfect beings and where they go when they die, who knows? What I mean by truth and right from wrong are the redundant terms, "absolute truth", "absolute good" and "absolute evil". So then, to deny the existence of God is neither logical nor moral.
Please read the differences between Christian groups and why they matter.

Q & A with Congresswoman Hartzler
With the closing of air traffic control towers around the country, including Columbia, what will the effect be on air traffic?
You hope it will not be a huge safety hazard. They will be doing the air traffic control out of Springfield but they will not be able to see the ground. There might be a deer on the runway or a general aviation private plane getting ready to take off, or another plane coming in that Springfield may not know about. Local pilots are suppose to be on a certain radio frequency as well but a digit could be off causing the potential for an accident. We certainly do not want to see that.
What sequestration effects are we going to see in Central Missouri?
We are just starting to see the impact because agencies are now trying to figure out how the sequestration will impact them. Certainly the defense area is the most concerning because the Department of Defense said it could furlough up to 6,000 civil federal workers at Whiteman Air-force Base and Fort Leonard Wood. This means they would be forced to stay home one day a week, which is a 20 percent reduction in their pay causing these individuals to spend much less on groceries and gas for the car. We certainly hate to see this, including reduced training for our troops and less flying time as well for our pilots.
Will the future of education be affected?
The Education Department will see cuts as well that will impact aid for school districts around the state because a lot of their budget comes from the Federal Government. They are dealing with it the best they can, making them okay for a year or so but after that you may see some teacher layoffs. This is very concerning and only a couple examples coming in at this time.
In the House we passed two pieces of legislation, which found cuts elsewhere in other programs, which displaced the defense cuts. It did not make since to cut 7.8 percent across the board causing all programs to see a deduction in funds. It makes sense to look at where there is duplication and waste. Unfortunately the Senate refused our bills and so we are stuck with this.
We do need to get our fiscal house in order since we are borrowing 3.6 billion dollars a day to fund the government and we are almost 17 trillion dollars in debt at the time. I think the budget needs to be done smartly.
What cuts do you propose?
There is a huge surplus of Federal property, which could be sold. It is costing tax payers 1.7 billion dollars a year on maintenance alone. I am currently in support of some bills out there that propose selling of this property, which would recover the 1.7 billion dollars in maintenance right off the bat, including extra money for the purchase of the buildings. We have other examples of waste including the IRS, which has their own television studio, operates with a budget of four million dollars a year, this is ridiculous. I introduced a bill last week that would stop a duplicative program with catfish inspection. The United States Department of Agriculture is setting up this duel system inspecting catfish, which is going to cost 30 million dollars to set up and 14 million dollars a year to operate the duel system. This is a small piece I am trying to work on to get rid of that. The Environment Protection Agency gave $100,000 in grants to foreign countries last year. There are other areas we can find waste and duplicative programs to cut.
Boonville has faced a number of large business closures recently, especially with the announcement from Nordyne. What does the United States need to do to bring back lost businesses?
I think we can make a lot of changes in Washington to make America more business friendly. A lot of our policies are driving businesses elsewhere. Some of the incentives encouraging people to move their business is because the United States has the highest corporate tax rate in the world at 35 percent. We were number two before Japan lowered their tax because they realized it makes them more competitive. I co-sponsored a bill to lower ours to 25 percent, which would make us more competitive to the rest of the world. Another part has to do with our energy policy. Electricity costs a lot here and I think this is due partly because the government has discouraged the use of many of our resources here in America. We need to encourage for gas and nuclear exploration and pass the Keystone Pipeline so we are not so dependent on other countries. Regulations are another thing that heightens the cost. We have a lot of coal powered plants shut down because of the new EPA regulations, which does not make sense because the air here is some of the cleanest in the world. Even the new healthcare law is causing healthcare to rise and causing employers reluctant to hire more people. It is imperative we change

Susan Sarandon had a fling with David Bowie three decades ago, the actress recently told The Daily Beast.
"In terms of hooking up with movie stars, I got married really young, which knocked out most of my 20s to be (messing) around," Sarandon said. However "there have been a couple of famous, pretty interesting ones. One rock star (Bowie), and another actor. But I'm pretty much a nester and tend to be monogamous."
Sarandon's affair with Bowie happened around the time they co-starred in 1983 horror film "The Hunger."
Well, that explains that. All that vampire foolishness even gets English guys a bit randy.
"That was a really interesting period," Sarandon said. "I wasn't supposed to have kids, and I'm the oldest of nine and had mothered all of them, so I wasn't ever in a mode to where I was looking to settle down and raise a family, so that definitely changes the gene pool you're dipping into."
That's great, Susan. But we want more names.
Sarandon divorced actor and college sweetheart Chris Sarandon in 1979. She later dated director Franco Amurri, who fathered her daughter, Eva. She partnered with actor Tim Robbins for 23 years -- until 2009 -- and has two sons, Miles and Jack.
Bowie married model Iman in 1992. The pair have a daughter.
Sarandon still has positive feelings for Bowie.
"Yeah. He's worth idolizing. He's extraordinary," she said. "Bowie's just a really interesting person, and so bright. He's a talent, and a painter, and ... he's great."

This is delicious -- sprinkle it inside and on top of a whole organic chicken. Then make chicken noodle soup the next day. Both dishes are umm-ummm good.

This blend has become our herb of choice. It goes in my husband's Tuscan Bread and adds a zing--I use it in pasta, soups, on veggies. We should probably buy it in bulk.

KCS: State of Safety reports important public safety improvementsWritten by Jenifer Nunez, assistant editor
Kansas City Southern (KCS) has released its monthly State of Safety report, noting a 50 percent reduction in grade crossing collisions through February 2013, as compared to the same timeframe last year.
Officer on a Train events are among the activities in which KCS is engaged to promote grade crossing safety. Events were recently hosted in Centralia, Mo. and Poteau, Okla.
In these events, KCS works with local law enforcement to bring officers into a locomotive cab for a real-time perspective of motorist and pedestrian activity as a train moves through the community. Meanwhile, other law enforcement officers are stationed along the railroad right-of-way, watching for crossing and trespasser violations and issuing citations.
In Centralia, where KCS has four grade crossings, each equipped with lights and gates, no citations were issued. In Poteau, KCS has eight crossings, four with gates, one with flashers and three with crossbucks only. The event focused on only four of the eight crossings with police issuing 14 citations for crossing violations.
The State of Safety report also noted that 36 CALL reports have been recorded year-to-date, as compared to only 12 recorded for the same period last year. Encouraging employees to be the eyes and ears of the railroad, the CALL program provides a mechanism for employees to report trespasser or unsafe motorist behavior on the railroad by calling the Critical Incident Desk.

TRAINING: I run the morning followed by team practice, where we work on techniques in the morning session. After that, we break for lunch and rest for a while. Then we have our afternoon team training session, where we do more technique training and then spar. In the evenings, I'll work on different stuff every day, depending on what I need... Sometimes it's Crossfit, sometimes it's straight weightlifting or more skill work.
When and why did you start training for fighting? I started training MMA in 2007. I had been wanting to try MMA for a while, so when I finished my mandatory military service, the first thing I did the day I got out was to go and sign up at Korean Top Team and start training.
What ranks and titles have you held? WXF Heavyweight Tournament Champion, Yong Moo Do Heavyweight Champion.
Do you have any heroes? Mike Tyson. When I was younger he was the greatest.
What does it mean for you to fight in the UFC? The UFC is the center of the MMA universe right now, so obviously, I'm really happy to have the opportunity to be here. I plan to make the most of it! I've always said that I wanted to be a world champion, and the UFC is the best organization in the world, so this is the place to do it.
Did you go to college and if so what degree did you earn? Yes. I majored in East Asian Martial Arts.
What was your job before you started fighting? In Korea all able-bodied men are supposed to serve in the military. So, I did my military service before I started fighting.
Specific accomplishments in amateur competition? Undefeated in Yong Moo Do. (Yong Moo Do is a like a blend of Hapkido, Taekwondo and Judo.)
Ranks in any martial arts styles: Judo 3rd degree black belt, Taekwondo 2nd degree black belt, Yong Moo Do 4th degree black belt.
Favorite grappling technique: Armbar
Favorite Striking technique: Hook

More than a year after being indicted in an alleged kickback scheme when investigators produced a recording that seemed to suggest guilt, former Jeffco treasurer Mark Paschall was found not guilty of one of the felony counts he was facing.
The second count — compensation for past official behavior — left the jury deadlocked, and lawyers will come together at 8 a.m. Feb. 28 to determine if that charge will be retried or dismissed.

Two men were stabbed this morning on Grafton Street after a fight broke out at a McDonald's drive-through.
About 3:30 a.m. two vehicles were in the drive-through area at the fast-food restaurant at 982 Grafton St. when a woman and a man got out of a truck. Those two people were allegedly confronted by three men who got out of another car, according to police.
All of the men began to fight. Allegedly the man who got out of the truck had some type of weapon in his hand, authorities said.
By the time police arrived, all of the people involved in the fight left the area.
Two Worcester men, both 26 years old, were taken by a friend to St. Vincent Hospital with stab wounds. The two men arrived at the hospital shortly after the fight, police said.
One man had two stab wounds to the left side of his chest and he was eventually taken to UMass Memorial Medical Center — University Campus, where he was listed in stable condition. The wounds were described as non-life-threatening, police said.
The second man had what was described as a minor stab wound in his back. He was treated and then left the hospital.
Police believe the two groups may be familiar with each other. Detectives continue to investigate.

Skyjacker Lift Kits
Skyjacker builds such quality suspension components that many believe they're the standard of the 4x4 industry. Skyjacker Suspension Lift Kits undergo countless hours of research, development, and field testing to ensure they work to the ultimate performance level without clearance issues or other weak links. For the most part, Skyjacker Lift Kits are designed to bolt on without major chassis modification. Cutting factory brackets and minor welding will probably be necessary to accommodate some of the higher lift kits. Lift Kit contents vary from front and rear springs only to new spindle mounts/steering knuckles, drop bracketry, heavy-duty crossmembers, and longer control arms.Features:

The Global Struggle for HIV Treatment
There is little doubt anymore that HIV/AIDS is the greatest health hurdle that we as a people have to face this generation, and more than likely for many generations to come. Despite phenomenal medical breakthroughs and countless billions of dollars used to fight the epidemic, the number of people infected has never been higher.
During much of the dialogue regarding HIV/AIDS there has been something of a narrow point of view in how to combat the increasing infection rate. Local efforts are far more prevalent than global ones are, and resources are often scarce in those areas that need them most.
In fact despite this being a global issue, it would be irresponsible to pull focus and these resources from the dangerously infected Africa. According to the CIA World Factbook's most recent data from 2009, Africa has seven out of the top ten countries with the highest number of adults living with HIV/AIDS. Factor in that many of these countries' populations are contracting at a much faster rate and Africa's known epidemic of children with the disease as well, and it is a staggeringly alarming situation.
This epidemic becomes all the more chilling when statistics are looked at from a percentage standpoint. While the United States may find itself in the upper ranks of infected adults on the basis of sheer number, it is estimated that only 0.6 percent of the population is living with HIV/AIDS. As a stark comparison, 26.1 percent of Swaziland's population is reported to be infected.
This trend continues throughout most of Africa, leaving the continent ravaged with disease in a way that the rest of the world has not seen. What makes the situation that much more dire is that Africa is interminably resource and cash poor, leaving them with very little options to treat their people. Awareness is at times the best that its governments can hope for.
Caribbean, Central America and Southeast Asia at High Risk
But Africa is not alone in this aspect. A number of regions have fallen prey to the disease as well. Much of the Caribbean, Central America, and Southeast Asia have high percentages of infection, particularly the more impoverished nations in the region. In fact, the focus being pulled between local needs and Africa's increasingly high demands have left many of these nations without the foreign aid necessary to properly combat their rising rates.
And yet, it is not simply the smaller and impoverished nations of the world with an epidemic on their hands. As a matter of population numbers, three of the most alarming nations to look at are the United States, Russia, and India. With relatively low rates of infection (0.6 percent, 0.3 percent, 0.3 percent, respectively) the large nations still carry close to 15 percent of the world's total infections.
So, what is the point of all of these numbers and statistics? Perspective. While there are many living conditions and diseases that are all but extinct in the more wealthy nations of the world, HIV/AIDS is something of an equalizer. While much of Eastern Europe and the Middle East claim to have low infection rates, much of the world cannot deny the continued effect the disease has had on their citizens. Small and large, weak and powerful; such measurements matter little in this global fight against this juggernaut.
Multilateral efforts to cure, treat, and prevent further contraction of HIV/AIDS are tirelessly continuing their efforts, but many of the more affected nations have taken up ways of their own to raise awareness and relief. The key to successful campaigns is usually a mixture of clear, strong information coupled with events that appeal to individual countries' citizens.
South Africa has tackled their overwhelming numbers by funneling enormous efforts for testing and contraception distribution through their healthcare system. The nation has hit a number of milestones at an extremely accelerated rate. Increasing the amount of condoms handed out by 75 percent, the number of their population getting tested by 60 percent, and the number of circumcisions completed has brought a level of awareness on the subject to a population that had dismally scarce education up until the last five years.
India, on the other hand, has been more known for its creative and aggressive campaigns, starting in schools and targeting kids at a very young age. With such a huge number of its population infected, India has a lot to gain from ensuring that their younger generations are educated and cautious from a young age about the dangers of HIV. Additionally, the nation frequently uses sports tournaments and biking marathons to address its high numbers, as well as making it a priority to make cheap and effective treatments available.
Still, even increased efforts on these governments' parts cannot easily overcome the lack of education and negative stigma that surrounds HIV infection. Middle Eastern and African countries specifically have a history of letting pride and cultural traditions prevent people from being tested and seeking treatment. It is important then that the level of discourse globally be one of treatment and education to break through devastating social barriers that have so badly held up this road to what many are calling an "HIV-free generation."
Regardless of the program that is being put into action, there is no global health initiative more pressing and important than the fight against HIV/AIDS. Whether it be aggressive awareness and prevention campaigns, fundraisers and special events to raise money for numerous causes, or medical research for further treatments or a cure, it is heartening to see that even the areas who are suffering the most are finding effective ways of combating the epidemic. We are far from ending the nightmare that HIV/AIDS has brought upon us, but this is a global problem and must continue to be dealt with as such.

Devereux Therapeutic Foster Care You can make the difference in the life of a child ~Call today ~
The notion that not every child has a permanent, loving home in which to be raised is an unthinkable thought to many. Sadly, it is a harsh reality of our times that there are indeed children who are left without a home or parents whom they can call their own. This is particularly true of a small segment of our society, children with special needs. These are often children who have had to endure heartbreaking trauma, physical and sexual abuse, neglect and psychological pain. The need to be loved in a secure, safe home is a universal need, but perhaps it is felt more acutely by these especially vulnerable children. When these at-risk children are taken into protective custody, they become part of a growing pool of children who fill the foster care system. These are also the children who need your help through the compassionate intervention of placement agency, Devereux Therapeutic Foster Care.
Devereux Therapeutic Foster Care is a not-for-profit agency that "provides specialized foster care services for at-risk children with emotional, developmental and educational needs." Devereux's Regional Manager, Danielle Imbornone-Gallagher has the unique privilege of finding homes that can meet the needs of these special children. For Ms. Imbornone-Gallagher, this is more than a job, it is a calling - a charge compelled by a love of children and a conviction that all children deserve to "know what it feels like to be a valued member of a family" - even, and especially, when their lives have already been so difficult. She endeavors to find families who share her conviction and her passion.
Devereux Therapeutic Foster Care is actively seeking families who are willing to open their homes and hearts to a foster child. The standards of this agency are high, but they are upheld to protect both the children and the prospective families. The application, assessment and training process is involved, but is done with sensitivity, expert training and constant support.
The foster families who work with this agency are given extraordinary back-up, as well as many other benefits. Along with the ongoing training and 24/7 support from qualified professionals, foster parents are given a $350 tax-free weekly stipend, company-paid liability insurance, 8 paid respite days and a $1,000 sign-on bonus. Regional Manager Imbornone-Gallagher knows that the strains of this kind of commitment cannot be carried alone, and so works tirelessly with her team to make this a positive, healthy and rewarding experience for all.
If you or someone you know is interested in becoming a foster parent, please contact Devereux Therapeutic Foster Care at 734-9680 or visit their website at www.devereuxma.org for a full listing of eligibility criteria and services. Call today to make a difference in the life of a child.

One of the problems with lightening mass to increase cycling speed is that most cocker owners nullify it by decreasing the LPR output pressure. Lightening reciprocating mass will allow you to either increase cycling speed or lower ram pressure, not both.
As for ball suckage, i had a thought last night that will easily allow us to determine how much ball suckage there really is and hopefully someone with the time and tools (AGD hint hint) can performe this experiment for me.
Attach a ball to a string. Attach the string to a calibrated strain guage or other force measuring device that does not allow the ball to move. Now rest the ball so that it is just above the bolt in a verticle feed gun with the string running straight up to the strain gauge. Cycle the gun and measure any increase in force on the ball. A decrease in force would mean blow back, although in this setup we couldn't measure the magnitude of it.
We could determine the amount of ball suckage, add gravity and we'll get max feed rate.

Bryan Adams 'Exposed' embarks on tour, Goss-Michael Foundation in Dallas is first stop
Sir Mick Jagger (New York) 2008 © Bryan Adams.
For the past 12 years, musician Bryan Adams has sharpened his skills as a professional photographer by capturing intimate images of friends and colleagues in the entertainment, fashion and art industries.
In October, Adams released a comprehensive retrospective of his photographic work in a book titled, Exposed. Beginning in December, 46 select images from the book will be on public display in the U.S. as part of a 3-city tour of art galleries in Dallas, Oklahoma City and Marfa, TX.
The tour kicks-off in Dallas at
The Goss-Michael Foundation
The exhibition opens to the public on Tuesday, December 18 and will run through February 8, 2013.
Portraits in the exhibition include a cross-section of international celebrities and emerging stars such as Danny Trejo, Victoria Beckham, Lindsay Lohan, Amy Winehouse, Mickey Rourke, Lana Del Rey, Natalia Vodianova, Pink, Mick Jagger, Sean Penn, Queen Elizabeth II, Sir Ben Kingsley and South African rave rapper Yo-Landi Visser.
Bryan Adams represents an outstanding talent in multiple artistic mediums. With our Foundations connection to the music industry, it was a natural to collaborate with City Arts Center to premiere Bryans outstanding photography in Dallas, said Joyce Goss, executive director for The Goss-Michael Foundation.
I am delighted to partner with the Goss-Michael Foundation and Crossover to bring this exhibition to the American Southwest. Bryan Adams photographs of distinguished personalities from the world of fashion, art and music precisely mirror the major public preoccupations of the 21st century. Exposed comprises work that is accessible but challenging, offering the audience a creative tension of sorts, said Mary Ann Prior, executive director for City Arts Center. Its my aim to form connections between art and the individual, between viewing and learning, between the easily understandable and the unfamiliar and this exhibition does it on all levels.
Following its stay in Dallas, the exhibition travels to City Arts Center in Oklahoma City, February 26 through May 17, 2013, before moving on to Marfa Contemporary, a satellite gallery of City Arts Center located in Marfa, Texas, May 31 through July 31, 2013.
The exhibition will be free to the public at all three locations.

The Brookfield Bulldogs and Lady Dogs basketball teams have been busy this season, ending their regular seasons, and heading into District Basketball.
The Brookfield Bulldogs and Lady Dogs basketball teams have been busy this season, ending their regular seasons, and heading into District Basketball.
Monday night at the District Tournament, the Dogs season ended with a 77-45 loss against the hosting team from Palmyra. Cole Hoover had six points, Matt Neeley had 17, Tristen Duncan had 10, Ryan Kearns had two, Austin Lark had six, and Cale McCurley had four.
Last night, the Lady Dogs faced a rematch with the Macon Tigerettes. This CCC bout was a second chance for the Brookfield girls to take down an old foe.
Macon opened the game on a 7-0 run that lasted nearly the entire first quarter. The Lady Dogs would finally score on a hoop from Miranda White with less than 30 seconds remaining in the first quarter.
Maggie Almond would add a three-pointer to set pull the Brookfield girls within a bucket in the second frame. The Lady Dogs offensive struggles continued, and they would manage only seven points in the second quarter. At the half, Brookfield only had nine points on the board.
In the second half, Brookfield would remain scoreless for nearly two minutes until a free throw sailed through for Rebeca Kearns. The Lady Dogs would put up six points in the third quarter.
In the final frame, the foul trouble that had plagued Brookfield for the entire game would prove costly. This, combined with the shooting problems the team was having, meant a season-ending loss for the Brookfield Lady Dogs. The final score of this game was 50-29.

Playwright, actor and composer Hershey Felder, renowned for his productions illustrating the lives of the world's great composers like George Gershwin, Frederic Chopin, Ludwig van Beethoven and Leonard Bernstein, again tells the tale of a historic figure of note in his latest production, "An American Story for Actor and Orch-estra," debuting at the Birch North Park Theatre on Jan. 4. This time, however, Felder tells the tale from the perspective of Dr. Charles Leale, an ordinary young man thrust into the throes of a historic moment during President Abraham Lincoln's final hour at Ford's Theater.
Leale — just 23 years old on that day — was the first medic on scene the night America's 16th president was shot, and Leale found himself as the president's lead caretaker throughout the fatal ordeal.
"I was extremely touched by the story of an average young man who suddenly found himself at the center of history with quite literally the weight of an entire presidency — and perhaps the weight of the entire free world — on his shoulders," said Felder. "Just thinking about what he did and how he handled himself with such grace, never calling attention to his actions, but instead spending the rest of his life doing as much as he could for others, and still questioning if he did enough."
The initial focus of Felder's original production, "Lincoln: An American Story," which debuted in Pasadena last year, was to bring Lincoln to life on stage through the eyes of this unknown army surgeon.
"What I discovered through the process and through the live performance of the work was that the man we wanted to know about was the man telling us the story," he said. "He wasn't just a conduit anymore; he was the one to whom this story happened. And because he is one of us, his story became a valuable one."
While living in La Jolla, Felder re-created the production and its musical scores with a shift in focus to one he says is more organic and layered with inherent truths, not one that is clouded by big ideas and conceits that distract from the richness of the story itself.
"A piece of theater must live and breathe on its own terms," he said. "After all these years — some 17 — on stage creating new productions and characters and then playing them for a total of more than 4,000 performances, there is something I learned and accepted some time ago: there are no shortcuts. The methodology and process may go a little faster because I know what not to do, but finding what to do, then doing [it] is a never-ending quest and one that I hope to spend the rest of my life engaged in."
In his latest rendition, Felder not only dreamt up dazzling musical scores and creative new avenues for the production from his La Jolla home, he also selected his entire production team from right here in San Diego.
"Over the years, performing at the Old Globe, I've come to love San Diego and the public that attends," he said. "Without question, San Diego has some of the finest theater artists in the world, and also some of the nicest individuals to work with. The San Diego theater community is still one that really loves the theater. There is still excitement about new productions. There is still excitement with regard to discovery and there is an extremely high level of craft."
What he hopes his San Diego audience will discover through his production long after the curtain falls is that great people walk among us — sometimes unnoticed — every day.
"There are great people among us, some that we don't know or recognize, and ultimately, all of us have that capacity," he said.
"An American Story for Actor and Orchestra" will premiere at the Birch North Park Theatre on Jan. 4 and runs through Feb. 3. The production is performed as a solo stage show with Felder as its lead accompanied by his own musical scores performed by a live orchestra.

One look that really wow-ed me this year was Sofia Vergara. She wore the most beautiful navy dress paired with a brown smoky eye and fuchsia lips.
The makeup is classic, versatile, and so easy, you'll flip. I literally used one brown for the look, paired with a highlight shade. Super simple, yet super sexy and flattering. Love it.

Donations to the Book Fair have increased by about 10 percent this year. We expect to have about 110,000 used books for sale during the actual book sale.
Our book fair manager and volunteers have been so busy that we asked donors to hold off during the month of April. Let's see what May Day brings….
Thank you to everyone who has donated a book to the Newberry or has even thought about it.
A fun fact: Several mysteries bought at this year's Mystery Book Fair have already been redonated back for this year's main Book Fair.
