1. You were riding in the passing lane and not paying attention to traffic around you, paying more attention to your pride in a new exhaust. The passing lane is for passing, if you are not passing, get out of it!
2. You pass that you were overwhelmed by his speed, 20 MPH (your estimation, not mine) is not really that fast. If 20 MPH overwhelms you, it may be best that you avoid the higher speeds of the interstate... at your claim of 80, you were likely passing other's at 20MPH more.
Now you can claim that I did not see everything, true, I made the above using nothing more than what you gave us. I have also not heard his side. But from what you tell us, you were endangering other's also.
I am privately embarassed anytime I see a vehicle that I did not realize had switched lanes, come up behind me, etc... I pride myself in being keenly aware of what is around me. You are on a bike, you are the one that is going to lose the battle of gross tonnage, you need to avoid the accident. Roadsmanship is a skill to be constantly honed.
As it is, you should have just taken it as a personal lesson that you need to improve on, after all, you can not change the actions of another, but you can change the impact of the actions on yourself!
Hope your exhaust is great and glad you got home safely!
I didn't want to do it but y'all have forced me to:
19 BMWMOA Nationals under my belt, and I have no idea what I am doing.
So while you may think you own the lane, the law states otherwise. The US would be a safer place to drive if the police would simply enforce the laws.
LoL - I think even the diehard ERC instructors would tell you to take your eyes off your mirrors and break the sentinel for idiots suddenly popping into your lane at triple-digit speeds, to look at what's in front of you, at least occasionally.If you can not pay attention when riding and be able to see in your mirrors, then you are not really riding in a prudent manner and should consider something a bit safer, like a cage or, if you like the wind in your hair, a big wheel!
I think that is the whole issue..."failure to yield to traffic"

WAITERquick a double espresso for our friend in post 72.
Pass the mustard and UP THE REVOLUTION!
To the few posters out there ragging on Tony for his post, you are really hilarious... I'm going to have to assume that you are just kidding with him or that you routinely lane-split at high speed to extract revenge on any other rider who is not perfect. You really sound silly at best. Tony could have been having cheese and crackers in the left-hand lane on his LT, or reading a book, or talking on his cell phone. It really does not matter what he was doing. None of the above would have displayed safe and courteous riding skills but it doesn't excuse another rider passing him in the same lane. Period. The passing rider, regardless of what kind of bike he was on, is the one who put both riders in danger... not Tony. For the record, Tony clearly stated that he was passing in the left lane and checked to make sure he was not pulling out in front of anyone. He was later passed by the approaching rider. I'm not sure where the confusion comes in. If Tony were picking cracker crumbs off his tank bag when the other rider approached, the safe and courteous response from the approaching rider is to slow down and if Tony spent the next minute or two slicing some smelly cheese while in the left lane, the rider behind should pass him safely in another lane. Simple as that. To suggest anything else is just noise and rather junvenile.
I also should note that I too read some of the thread on the S-bike forum and to put the attacks on Tony in perspective, the inital post referred to Tony's post as (paraphrasing) "the typical way the rank & file MOA members vew S-bike riders." So Tony, look at it this way, you've been promoted to representing the MOA for all things related to S-bike riders. You are now officially the S-bike Czar.
By the way... can I have a slice of that smelly cheese?

Oh yeah, if he had hit Tony at a mere 20mph speed differential (by the way, go run into something at 20mph and tell me if it hurts) and they had both gone down (at 80mph) and Tony had died, the appropriate law if the prosecutor chose to apply it might be "vehicular manslaughter" or something of the sort. All of course, considering the "S" bike rider was absolutely justified by the "LAW" you quoted. Apparently the "LAW" as well as the"law" of common sense are different in my world.

Consumer Reports: Small Turbo Engines Don't Meet Efficiency Claims

Sender E-mail
Not all small turbo engines are more fuel-efficient says Consumer Reports
Consumer Reports
isn't letting up on its testing of fuel efficiency claims for various vehicles. According to the publication, small turbocharged engines aren't delivering on the fuel efficiency claims by the manufacturers.
Small displacement turbocharged engines have become common in a variety of vehicles in place of larger displacement, naturally aspirated engines. The claim by the automotive manufacturers is that the small displacement turbocharged engines offer the same power as larger displacement engines and improved fuel efficiency.
Consumer Reports,
however, states that in its real world testing many vehicles with turbocharged engines aren't as efficient as the manufacturers claim. The publication recently tested the
1.6-liter EcoBoost in a Ford Fusion
and found that the turbocharged version has a slower 0-to-60 mph time than its competitors and achieved only 25 mpg in testing, making it among the worst for fuel efficiency in the recent crop of family sedans.
The publication also claims that the larger 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder, which promises the power of the V-6 with the fuel economy of four-cylinder engine, fails to deliver on either front.
2013 Ford Fusion
Chevrolet is also under fire for the 1.4-liter turbo four-cylinder in the Cruze.
Consumer Reports
claims that real world performance wasn't much better than the standard, naturally aspirated 1.8-liter engine and overall fuel economy was similar as well.
Ford and General Motors representatives offered similar statements explaining the discrepancy. "When you have an EcoBoost engine, you have the opportunity to have performance and fuel economy, but not at the same time," said Ford Powertrain Communications Manager Richard Truett. "EcoBoost adds a dimension that you won't get by just making the engine smaller. We're telling the driver, it's up to you on how you want to drive."
"The Cruze turbocharged engine provides a much broader torque curve than a non-turbocharged engine, and that means better acceleration across the rpm range, making for a more fun-to-drive car," said GM spokesman Tom Read. "However, if you have a heavy foot on a turbocharged engine, you're not necessarily going to see a lot of fuel economy benefits."
The EPA is going to
investigate Ford
Consumer Reports
and other owners have complained that fuel efficiency doesn't meet the automakers claims in the Fusion Hybrid and C-MAX.

A 61-key portable keyboard that's fun for both beginners and performers.
The Yamaha PSR-E423 portable keyboard offers several innovative features. This includes the basic features for learning to play, such as the Yamaha portable grand button (which instantly resets the keyboard to the finest onboard piano settings) and the Yamaha Education Suite buttons (which include built-in songs and 7 levels of lessons). In addition, the Yamaha PSR-E423 has features for when it's time to perform, such as synthesizer control knobs for realtime control of the filter, effects, sound envelope, and style tempo. The Yamaha keyboard's arpeggiator provides 150 different patterns and 40 arpeggio voices. Along with its black body, these easy-to-use, professional features set this 61-note keyboard apart from others in its class.
Control knobs, arpeggiator, and pitch bend:
Most of the features of the Yamaha PSR-E423 have been enhanced over its predecessor. 2 control knobs provide realtime control for filtering the main melody tone and changing the tempo of the arpeggio, just like an analog synthesizer. The Yamaha keyboard's pitch bend wheel brings voices like the sax and trumpet to life.
Improved arpeggio function:
Tap into instant inspiration with the arpeggio function, which has been improved for smoother playability. The Yamaha keyboard's hold mode and allocated key-range will free you up to play with both hands. It provides an expanded 150 patterns that automatically generate even more useful phrases that change depending on the notes and chords you play.
A variety of new dynamic voices:
Dynamic voices usually found on high-end workstations are now on the PSR-E423 61-note keyboard. There are 2 different waveforms that change depending on how hard you play the keyboard, allowing for more expression on voices, such as an overdriven or nylon guitar. High-quality voices, from acoustic instruments to electric sounds, have been expanded to 700 varieties. All of these voices sound even better through the bass-enhanced, 2-way speakers.
Wider world content and 174 varieties of styles with auto-backing mode:
Arabic, Indian, and Chinese content has been added to styles, rhythms, and voices. With these styles and voices, you'll sound like you've got a professional backing band behind you.
Extended flash memory and connectivity to PC with USB:
4 times more flash memory has been added to the Yamaha PSR-E423 keyboard so you can play along with your favorites transferred from a PC.

This is an archived article that was published on sltrib.com in 2012, and information in the article may be outdated. It is provided only for personal research purposes and may not be reprinted.
Local experts are stitching together a safety net of services for people with mental illness, but for whatever reason, Zachary Cole Weston apparently fell through one of the gaps that still remain.
As his mental illness intensified, Weston grew more violent, assaulting relatives and health staff as he bounced between jail and local psychiatric facilities, according to his family and public records. On Oct. 3, less than a day after being bailed out of jail, Weston allegedly fatally stabbed his 84-year-old grandmother, Joyce Dexter, at her Avenues home.
Walter Weston Jr., his 23-year-old brother, said Friday that he had suggested in the past to their mother that she leave Weston, 21, in jail so he would get help. But, "he just keep getting let out," he said.
In the aftermath of Dexter's death, Weston's father, Walter Weston Sr., blamed the mental-health system for his son "not getting no damn help" with long-term inpatient care.
Weston's uncle, Charles Kulander, expressed frustration with the lack of options for family members who know a relative is "so mentally ill he's a threat."
Health experts say only a small percentage of people with mental illness become violent. But that still leaves this question: Are there adequate services for someone like Weston?
"There is a system in place, and a lot of individuals get very good care, but there are individuals who are not receiving the care that they need," acknowledged Rebecca Glather, executive director of the National Alliance for Mental Illness, Utah (NAMI).
As of this year, Salt Lake County has strengthened links between mental-health providers, police and the judicial system in hopes of getting people like Weston the help they need.
Interventions • In mid-July, University Neuropsychiatric Institute (UNI) opened a home-like receiving center where police and others can bring individuals in the throes of a mental-health crisis for immediate help, rather than taking them to jail and local emergency rooms. Since it opened, approximately 300 people have been seen at the center, which is funded by the county and OptumHealth Behaviorial Solutions.
The hope is, within less than 24 hours, to get the person help whether that is medication, housing or outpatient therapy until the crisis passes. A team can also determine whether individuals need more intensive, inpatient treatment, said Mary Tallboys, a licensed social worker and service director at UNI.
Under Utah law, a physician, police officer or certified mental-health professional can petition to have a person considered a "substantial danger," rather than an immediate danger to themselves or others, receive outpatient or inpatient mental health treatment. That less stringent standard was adopted after Susan Gall was killed by her mentally ill son in 2001. The Salt Lake City woman had called police several times in the months before her death to get her 25-year-old son, who was bipolar and not taking medication, committed to a hospital for treatment.
Short of that, "You can have someone who is ill, psychotic but not threatening, but having problems on multiple fronts" and be unable to do anything about it, said Jackie Rendo, a family and consumer mentor with NAMI and a criminal mental-health court advocate.
Also in 2001, the Salt Lake City Police Department launched a crisis intervention program that trains officers to respond to calls that involve someone experiencing a mental-health crisis. More than 60 law enforcement agencies in the state now have members trained in crisis intervention.
In 2010, Salt Lake police responded to more than 1,200 calls for service in which mental-health issues were a primary or associated problem, said Detective Ron Bruno.
"We can take them into protective custody and take them to a designated mental-health facility," he said either an emergency room or the new receiving center, depending on the situation.
Salt Lake County also has set up a mobile crisis-outreach team, which Tim Whalen describes as the "paramedics of the mental-health system." The team can respond within 30 minutes, at any time, anywhere in the valley when notified of a mental-health crisis. The team includes a mental-health professional and certified peer specialist and, if needed, law enforcement.
It began operating in March and "has been called out a lot," said Whalen, behavioral health director for Salt Lake County.
In fact, the mobile crisis-outreach team, based at UNI, has been called out about 600 times, Tallboys said.
The peer specialist someone who has experienced and recovered from mental illness is key, Whalen added. "It really has been shown to work and is being adopted all over the country as a method we should use with our clients."
The county will add another resource on Oct. 15, when it expects to open a 16-bed Wellness Recovery Center designed for individuals who need two or three days' care while being stabilized after a crisis.
The county also is working more closely with the courts and Salt Lake County Jail to ensure that mentally ill individuals are not just released into the community without a support network in place, Whalen said. The jail now releases offenders with mental illness at a set time that is coordinated with a voluntary shuttle ride to a Valley Mental Health unit, where help getting medication and setting up support services is available.
"The biggest [factor] in making sure they don't go back to jail is connecting them to services in the community," Whalen said. A Jail Diversion Outreach Team also tracks clients who are back in the community in an attempt to ensure mental-health issues don't resurface to the extent that an individual reoffends.
The challenges • But there is a catch to all this: It costs money. Accessing services is easier if a person has private insurance or qualifies for Medicaid.
"The biggest population we are challenged with is treating folks who are not qualified for Medicaid," Whalen said.
The county has a $48 million budget to provide mental-health services for Medicaid-eligible clients but just $3 million for those who don't qualify for the federally-funded program.
Expanding access to Medicaid is "an amazing opportunity to increase access to services for the very folks we're talking about," Whalen said.
When there is a gap in service or a person doesn't have treatment options, they are more likely to end up in costly, less-effective settings such as jails and emergency rooms, Glather added.
"Over and over, we see people fall out of treatment because they don't have a way to pay for it," she said.
That can be a frustration for families who have an adult relative with a mental illness who they know needs help, she said.
"Families have a limited number of options available, especially when cost is an issue," Glather said. And relatives who often are in the best position to fill in service providers about past history and propensity for violence, medications, etc. are sometimes excluded from participating in the treatment process because of health-privacy laws.
"It seems to be more strictly and stringently applied when mental health is in question," said Rendo.
She experienced that hurdle when a family member was in a psychiatric unit in another state. The relative called family to let them know what was going on but inadvertently failed to give them a unit or room number; when family later tried to check with the relative, the facility refused to confirm or connect them.
It's unclear why Weston didn't get long-term inpatient care. LDS Hospital had asked that he be removed from its care because of his "dangerous" behavior. Weston had assaulted staff at UNI, too, while trying to check himself in for treatment.
"Clearly, we try to protect the patient and we try to protect the staff," said Tallboys, who was not speaking directly about Weston's case.
Both his father and brother said Weston's behavior grew violent and more suicidal after recently getting new medications the type of adverse reactions that make taking anti-psychotic drugs a challenge for many people with mental illness.
"Right now, a lot of treatment is focused on medications, and the side-effects of these medications are so horrendous that people don't want to take them," Rendo said. "We need more therapies that don't rely so heavily on medications."
If you or a family member are experiencing a mental health crisis, call Salt Lake County's crisis line at 801-587-3000.
The National Alliance for Mental Illness, Utah, offers a 12-week educational class for individuals with mental illness and their family members. For information, call 801-323-9900.
Utah law also allows a designated examiner, such as a physician, to petition a court to have a person who is a "substantial danger" to themselves or others committed for outpatient or inpatient treatment. You can read the law here: http://1.usa.gov/R6sSQE.
Utah also allows an individual with mental illness to file a Psychiatric Advance Directive, a legal agreement authorizing treatment if he or she is unable to do so. You can find that form here: http://1.usa.gov/OKEHAb.

An excerpt from www.HouseOfNames.com archives copyright © 2000 - 2018
Picts. The first family to use the name Habernethay lived at the place named Abernethy in southeastern Perthshire. The place name is of Pictish origin, meaning "mouth of the river Nethy." [1]CITATION[CLOSE]
Lewis, Samuel, A Topographical Dictionary of Scotland. Institute of Historical Research, 1848, Print.
Habernethay Early Origins
Perthshire (Gaelic: Siorrachd Pheairt) former county in the present day Council Area of Perth and Kinross, located in central Scotland at Abernethy, a parish that " derives its name from Aber, signifying in Gaelic, in conjunction with Nethy, the 'termination of Nethy' which is descriptive of the situation of the church, near the entrance of that river into the Spey." [1]CITATION[CLOSE]

The Great Migration
The Great Migration
Many Scottish families suffered enormous hardships and were compelled to leave their country of birth. They traveled to Ireland and Australia, but mostly to the colonies of North America, where many found the freedom and opportunity they sought. It was not without a fight, though, as many were forced to stand up and defend their freedom in the American War of Independence. The ancestors of these Scots abroad have rediscovered their heritage in the last century through the Clan societies and other organizations that have sprung up across North America. Immigration and passenger ship lists show some important early immigrants bearing the name Habernethay: John Abernathy who settled in Boston Massachusetts in 1767; William and Anne Abernathy settled in San Francisco, Cal. in 1850; Robert Abernethy arrived in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 1871..
The motto was originally a war cry or slogan. Mottoes first began to be shown with arms in the 14th and 15th centuries, but were not in general use until the 17th century. Thus the oldest coats of arms generally do not include a motto. Mottoes seldom form part of the grant of arms: Under most heraldic authorities, a motto is an optional component of the coat of arms, and can be added to or changed at will; many families have chosen not to display a motto.
Motto: In Christo salus
Motto Translation: Salvation is in Christ.

That was a good effort from STAT. Maybe its time to put out our most potent offensive lineup. This is for all the marbles. Felton, Smith, Melo, STAT, Chandler.

What the hell did Prigioni do to deserve this benching? Has he even played today?
Got to give credit to Woodson , Cope hits a 3 nothing but net, take him out of the game but leaves in Smith to keep bricking up shots..
How does Tyson set a pick and then not look for the pick n roll? Dude is really getting on my nerves....

Woodson has to go..The guy simply and flat out get's out coached in the playoffs. There is a reason Atlanta fired him and it was not for getting 50+ wins during the regular season.
Oh man. From start to finish this game has been a heart breaker. Very very dissapointing.

Fuc*, you're down by 13 and you have JR and Kidd in the game together???
Put Q and Novak in the game and let them do their thing....We need a hail mary and they can go do it..
Woodson and Tyson lost us this series.
I can't believe I'm saying this but Indy is definitely the better team. Unacceptable performance by the Knicks.
Signature created by AmareforPresident
Woodson is now on my hitlist. He has favorites in kidd and smith that have done nothing. He benches prigs, novak and copeland that can score and his players lose their cool over and over again. He has no control and has been out coached across the board. Disappointing

Cope 2/3 from 3 in 9 min., Will probably see 0 minutes next game..Woodson is a genius .
So much went wrong I don't even know where to start
Cope & Novak 3/4 from 3 13 minutes....JR 31 minutes 7/22 ...WOODSON HAS TO GO !!!!!

Hi all,
So my lady has dropped her phone and cracked the screen quite badly. Phone still works fine, just very hard to see with hairline cracks everywhere. I know it can go into an Apple store / dodgy fella on the street who can fix it (£50 I hear is the going rate for this), but I've also seen articles which say it's not hard to fix yourself. I'm pretty sure I can do it, but there's a wealth of kits out there ranging from £5 to £50, with Amazon reviews being very inconsistent on all of them.
Has anyone done this? If so, how difficult is it? If it's going to cost £20+ and take a few hours, then I might as well spend £50 getting it done by a professional and not have the hassle, but if it's £5 - £10 and less than an hour, then it's probably something I'm happy to do myself.
Also, do I need to be careful which kit I get? From what I can tell, the iPhone 4 and 4S are pretty much identical, but are they that identical that a 4S kit can be used on a standard iPhone 4? It's a white iPhone as well, which seems to drastically reduce the choice of kits from what I've seen.
Any advice appreciated!

text: Right this is possibly going to be a long post so if you're sitting comfortable we'll begin. We adopted in February 2012 and she settled in straight away. No accidents no crying, loved her food everything was great! We noticed quite quickly after a few days that if we left her for a period of time (anything from 5 minutes to a few hours) when we returned there was a wet patch where she had been sitting. We assumed that she would do this while sleeping and took her to the vets who gave her the all clear. This continued for a while and one day my gf noticed that Oreo was limping on her back leg. It turned out that she was licking her feet to the point where she had made herself bald and sore. I must point out that it was her back feet only. So off we go to the vets who put it down to an allergy gave her a steriod injection, some expensive shampoo (to wash her feet with) and a head collar to stop her biting and licking. This cleared up however a month or so later it happened again, so we took her to the vets again who told us the same thing and we spend a lot more money. Eventually, we moved house and took the oportunity to register at another vet for a second opinion. He agreed it was allergies however recommended that we use a tablet form of steriod along with an human allergy relief (piriton), special shampoo, and a head collar. At this point Oreo had been living in her collar at all times when we were out the room. The vet also suggested we tried a food elemination diet. Oreo has pretty much been a picky eater. She will pick and choose meals so finding a food for her has always been difficult. So elimnating all foods apart from the vet food was hard for us and her. There was no change in Oreo's condition apart from the fact that she started to rub her face on the carpet. At this point we had tried a lot of things seperate to the vet, for example removing air fresheners from around the house washing her bedding more regular on a higher heat, washing her feet after every walk, supplements, nothing seemed to work. We were told that it was a case of managing the situation rather than curing it. We even sent of samples to a hollistic vet who told us she was allergic to salmon and various other things as well as various skin scrapes and tests. She was getting so down and so were we! Again, we changed vets this time after a lot of research. He started by checking her anal glands which were full to bursting! We got Oreo home and it was like we had a new dog, she was runnning around and jumping it was an instant change! The licking and the biting reduced but not completely however the vet gave us some steriod cream to apply every other day. This lasted a few months until Oreo became unwell and had an upset tummy and started to have small fits. So off we go back to the vets, various blood tests later she was given the all clear. Eventually we found out the food company had changed the recipie of their food! While we were there he checked her glands once again to find they were infected which was probably caused by her bad tummy. So various antibiotics later and a small op to flush out her glands and a new food she seems to be doing better. However the last few days she has started to lick the tops of her back feet and caused hotspots between her paws. After two years of searching I honestly believe that this is a fungal infection caused by the inbalance in her system and her body has never had time to fully recover. I have started to give her a spoonfull of natural yogurt a day and have treated her feet with a human foot fungal powder which has dried her feet right up. I am hoping we have found a reason to all of this and I am hoping this is the begining of the end of paw troubles! However, I am still open to advice so if anyone has been through this and has any tips I'd be more than greatful to receive them. Thanks

College picks: Week 4
North Carolina at Georgia Tech, noon Saturday
These teams combined last season for one of the most exciting games you'll ever see, a 68-50 Georgia Tech victory that set an ACC scoring record. With North Carolina still struggling on defense and the Yellow Jackets still getting their feet wet with coordinator Ted Roof, expect more fireworks Saturday. I give Tech the edge because of first-year starting quarterback Vad Lee, who got some playing time in last year's meeting and racked up 281 total yards with three touchdowns.
My pick: Georgia Tech 41, North Carolina 35.
Tennessee at No. 19 Florida, 3:30 p.m. Saturday
Tennessee is reeling from a 59-14 loss at Oregon and Florida has had two weeks to think about its turnover-filled defeat at Miami. It's all lined up for the Gators to roll, but Tennessee ought to hang around. The Florida offense still hasn't proven it's capable of running anyone out of the stadium, so a big turnover or special teams play could give the Volunteers a chance to win it in the fourth quarter. But in the end, Florida's defense is probably too good to lose to a rebuilding team like Tennessee.
My pick: Florida 17, Tennessee 7.
No. 23 Arizona State at No. 5 Stanford, 7 p.m. Saturday
Stanford hasn't had to show much to this point, content to post workman-like victories against San Jose State (34-13) and Army (34-20). Arizona State will finally present the Cardinal with a challenge, so this is where Stanford can start to show it is capable of challenging Oregon for the Pac-12 title, and maybe more than that. The Sun Devils are fast and fun to watch, but I don't see them blocking the Cardinal's stout front seven. I expect Stanford to look like a contender Saturday night.
My pick: Stanford 30, Arizona State 16.
Auburn at No. 6 LSU, 7:45 p.m. Saturday
I think it's become clear both of these teams are better than they were given credit for in the preseason. Can they play with Alabama? Well, I don't know if even this game will tell us that. LSU looks like the more complete team so far, with its usual stifling defense and an offense that has taken a step forward under new coordinator Cam Cameron, so I'd say it's the clear pick here.
My pick: LSU 24, Auburn 14.

This is an archived article that was published on sltrib.com in 2012, and information in the article may be outdated. It is provided only for personal research purposes and may not be reprinted.
Nine U.S. speedskaters, including two Olympic bronze medalists, have come to the defense of accused short-track coach Jae Su Chun and blasted their complaining teammates for "baseless allegations of abuse that are nothing more than a false attack on his character."
"At a time when we should be focused on how we are going to take on the world, we are instead forced to defend our coach," skaters Lana Gehring and Jessica Smith wrote in a statement they released Tuesday that was signed by seven fellow athletes.
Gehring was a bronze medalist at the 2010 Vancouver Olympics, along with signatory Kimberly Derrick. Gehring and Smith were silver medalists at the 2012 World Championships.
The statement illustrates a great fracture in the American short-track team that has developed because of the recent allegations of verbal, physical and psychological abuse by Chun and assistant coaches Jun Hyung Yeo and Jimmy Jang.
Gehring and Derrick are among five women who won bronze in the women's relay in Vancouver, while relay teammates Allison Baver and Aly Dudek are among the 14 active skaters who filed a series of complaints against the coaches in recent weeks.
Two-time Olympic medalist Katherine Reutter also was on the relay team, but has not publicly taken a side.
"I'm incredibly sad over this whole matter," she said through a spokeswoman. "I believe U.S. Speedskating is conducting a fair investigation and I hope we can put this matter behind us so me and my fellow skaters can have a great season."
U.S. Speedskating has suspended Chun while international law firm White & Case conducts an investigation into the charges, and placed Yeo in charge of the national-team program. Jang is no longer coaching within U.S. Speedskating, a spokeswoman said.
An attorney for the athletes who made the complaints said he filed Tuesday for arbitration with the American Arbitration Association, to seek a resolution before the start of qualifying races Sept. 27 at the Utah Olympic Oval in Kearns to determine which skaters will compete in four upcoming World Cup competitions.
Attorney Ed Williams said he is worried the investigation will not conclude before the races, and that skaters fear having to train and travel with Chun or Jeo if the men are still allowed to coach.
A date for arbitration has not been set, Castellano said.
Gehring and Smith wrote that they have never seen any of the coaches abuse a skater, "and we know these men are not capable of abuse."
"We've spent the past six and four years, respectively, with him as our coach," they wrote, "and we have never seen the behavior described in the allegations."
The skaters said they are cooperating with the investigation, and believe the coaches will be cleared.
"We understand that not every athlete will be happy with Jae Su's training style or his program," they said. "No coach is ever able to make every athlete happy; nor should that be the coach's primary concern. But Coach Chun does [as] fine a job as anyone of balancing the grueling demands of training at the Olympic level with the personal care and development of his athletes."

I have a set of colourtronic drums that I am going to use for developing sheet film. They are probably very similar in construction to the Unicolor and Beseler units that I have read about. What is the procedure for pouring the chemistry into the drum? Mine seems to have a light trap and then the chemicals enter the main chamber. But, while tilted upwards the chemistry wants to come out the bottom......

To cmaurice:
I may not be fully understanding the problem with your drums, but here is some information that I hope helps.
I am not familar with the colourtronic drums, but I am very familar with the Unicolor product line, having owned quite a number of their various drums since their debut over 20 years ago, so perhaps my comments may be of some help.
I use the Unicolor 8 x 10 paper processing drums to develop 4 x 5 sheet films, it will develop 4 sheets of film, 2 on each side of the drum, and I usually use 3 to 6 ounces of solution per step, and if I use a pre-rinse before the developer then I use about 18 ounces.
One warning is to use the "m" looking piece that usually comes with the new drums, to keep the 2 sheets on each side from sliding under (or over) each other as the drum rotates, this piece is fitted between the 2 sheets of film, so 4 sheets would require 2 of these "m" pieces.
If the "m" pieces are missing then some people use wooden clothes pins that have the tips sanded down in order to clip onto the film holding rail inside the drum.
This drum that I speak of above has a bottom lid that is glued to the tube and cannot be removed, where I find leaks, especially in the older drums, is when the three protruding pieces around the outside of the drum start to wear down and no longer firmly hold the lid tight to the drum opening in spite of the gasket in the lid, which on occasion I have applied a film of vaseline to insure a more "positive" seal.
I load my drum in the horizontal position while it sits on the Uniroller motor agitator base and then I switch the unit on at the timer, when the cycle is completed I invert the drum at a slight side angle over the return container and return it to the Uniroller for the next cycle.
It is possible that your drums have a different light baffle system than the Unicolor drums and there may lie the problem, unless of course there is a defect or damage in the lid system that is causing the leak.
If I can be of more help then please reply to this forum or send me a private message if you like and good luck with your drums.

I believe the colourtronic system was made to do prints, one at a time? I picked it up at a yard sale. There is a tub unit, a temp control, a pump, and a bunch of small contaners for chemistry. I have been using it as a temp bath for my chemistry and it works well. After reading about dev tanks(I have one)I decided to try using the drums from this unit. The tubes are finned(very short fins) inside, the covers come off both ends. 1 has an indentation with a hole and is marked "fill". Inside this top is a dome, with slit holes in the flange that sits next to this inside lip. This allows the chemicals to enter the tube. The opposite end is the same, except the hole is on an external protrusion.....The tubes have some external plastic finned wrapping, and these catch the water that is pushed by the pump in the bath, which rotates the tubes.....
I was hoping to use this, but maybe I should get that unicolor drum roller I found.

Your description of the colourtronic system makes it easier for me to recall the system and I believe that these drums had a separate fill and dump portal, the protrusion that you speak of on one end, was I believe, connected to a tubing that could drain the used chemicals back into a container.
This system is good if one uses a temperature sensitive formula for processing and you need a tempering bath system, but as I use ambient temperature formulas for my B & W, C-41 and RA-4, I can use the Unicolor drums and the Uniroller without the need for a tempering bath.
You mention having a Unicolor drum roller (Uniroller), which is a good roller to have as it reverses itself, lessening the chance of streaks and uneven development.
Depending on the solutions used and the film, some people use a water bath pre-rinse when processing sheet film in the print processing drums.
When processing prints in the print processing drums it is almost imperative that you use a water bath pre-rinse before the developer, especially with RA-4 as it lessens the chance of streaks and uneven development.
The Unicolor 8 x 10 print processing drums are a good bargain, often found on e***, but the danger of buying something from a distance is that you cannot check the lid for tightness (please note my previous post on this problem), and quite often the interior of the drums have not been cleaned properly and are sometimes in poor condition.
The 8 x 10 drums will process (4) 4 x 5 sheets, or (2) 5 x 7 sheets or (1) 8 x 10 sheet, for those who use these sizes of sheet film.
The 8 x 10 drums sell used from 10 - 20 USD and the Uniroller sells used for around 40 USD.
Good luck with your endeavors.

thanks Graflite,
For now I think I will stick with the FR tank, and pick up the uniroller in a coupla months.

RA-4 is the process for processing color papers exposed through color negatives, using a particular formula one can mix up your solutions and process color prints using such color papers as Kodak in contrasts Portra (low), Supra (normal) and Ultra (high), Fuji Crystal and other papers from Mitsubishi and Agfa.
And while one can buy kits from Beseler and Tetenal to process RA-4, I don't use them, but mix my own solutions, and some of these kits can also be used at ambient temperatures.
Where people run into problems (and frustration) is getting the correct color balance when they expose the print and while it can be done using filters in a filter drawer, it is much quicker using a dichro color head on the enlarger and making a "ring around" and exposing areas of the paper using different filter combinations to see the correct combination or "filter pack".
Before determining the color balance you must first determine the correct exposure for the negative being printed, a Kodak Projection Print Scale used in B & W printing can be used or you can use the strip exposure method, then after finding the correct print contrast then you go on to the color balance.
The same dichro color head can also be used to expose variable contrast Black & White papers if you work in B & W.
If you had a good color lab in your area that turned out a quality product at a reasonable price then printing your own color prints might not be worth your time (and money).

Being hard headed, and stubborn, and having a dichro head enlarger in the closet just waiting to be used...I will probably be doing color and B & W printing soon. I'm still working on the development processes at the moment. I have only worked with D76 so far, but today picked up some HC110. I like the idea that I can mix just as much as I need instead of mixing a gallon.

Perham man trying to organize largest beanbag tourney ever
If you go:
What: Beanbag tournament
When: Oct. 6-7
Where: The Cactus Restaurant and Bar, 43521 Fort Thunder Road, Perham.
Info: Registration cost for a two-person team is $50, and the deadline to register is Sept. 28. For more information or to register, call (218) 457-0966 or email Solberg at firstname.lastname@example.com.
PERHAM, Minn. - Ron Solberg likes to play beanbag.
So much so, in fact, that he's taken it upon himself to try to organize one of the largest beanbag tournaments in the world.
Solberg has started work on what he hopes will be a 128-team beanbag tournament, which would tie the world record-turnout for a tournament in Arizona, which had the same number of teams.
Solberg and his wife play in a local summer beanbag league for fun, and he realized this summer that for people who want to play in an organized tournament, there just aren't that many local options.
"I thought, 'What could we do to hold a tournament where you can compete?' " he says. "I want to go big."
Solberg is also using the tournament as an opportunity to benefit some charities in the Perham area. $10 of every $50 team registration fee will be donated between the Perham Area Pastors' Association, Kinship/Coats for Kids and the Perham Area Boys and Girls Club.
Then, the remaining money will be awarded as payouts for tournament winners, with first place getting $1,500 (based on a full 128-team turnout), second place getting $1,000 and third place getting $500, along with a few other prizes to be awarded as well.
As of last week, Solberg said he already had about 50 two-person teams registered for the tournament, and that was mostly through word-of-mouth and a little online advertising.
Those 50 teams are mostly local beanbag tossers, Solberg says, but he's actually had some teams register from places as far away as Idaho, who told him the money involved caught their eye.
"According to them, they don't see payouts like that anywhere," he says.
Although getting 128 teams, and 256 participants, signed up might seem a little daunting, Solberg's hoping that the growing popularity of the tailgate-type sport will help draw in tossers over the next few weeks.
"A lot of bars use beanbag to bring in people," he says, "so I thought, if they can draw 30-40 people a week, I should be able to get a 128-team tournament."

James Randi spoke briefly, thanked everyone for coming and remarked drolly on how amazing it was that he could pull together such a community just by being a guy with a reputation for saying things like "I doubt that."
Randi gave us some good news about bad news for Uri Geller, who's the target of condemnation by the Israeli parliament after a video hit YouTube of Geller thoroughly faking a stunt with a compass. He also mentioned he was going on The O'Reilly Factor to confront the notorious Sylvia Browne yet again; much as O'Reilly is an asshole, Randi says the guy hates Sylvia and is on the side of Good (for once) in this battle. We'l see. I'm ahem skeptical.
After he spoke, he was surrounded by a gaggle of fans, and I eventually managed to slip in there, introduce myself, and do the usual fanboy gush thing about how much I admired all his work over the years, and all that. He was a really cordial, approachable man, and that's cool. I know he gets to hear this kind of fawning from his fans almost as much as he hears the slanders of the woo brigade, and he's used to it. But at least I've had the experience of meeting him and shaking his hand. He appears hale and fully recovered from his recent heart troubles, so I predict more years of pissing off the paranormal charlatans are in the offing.
A little more mingling and I crossed paths with Reginald Finley, aka The Infidel Guy, who surprised me by recognizing me. I had no idea he had any idea who I was. I knew he was aware of the very active Austin crowd, but I guess he's seen some episodes of the old AE show when I was hosting. We talked quite a bit, and he mentioned some of his expanding podcasting efforts with The Debate Hour, a less aggressive show designed to draw in a wider audience of believers and introduce them to critical thinking. Really nice guy, Reggie is.
I'm wiped out. My body clock tells me it's just after 10 PM, while the clock radio by my bed here says it's only just after eight. Stupid time zones. Some of the guys are planning a pub crawl starting at eleven, which sounds like a great way to hang with some new folks. But having been up now almost an entire day, I don't think I'm quite up to it. So I'm gonna lame out and crawl into bed.
The speakers begin tomorrow, and I'll be updating regularly. See you then.

"I am the offspring of illicit love."1(p814)
"Only suffering… can elicit the perfumes of the soul."1(p503)
"Henry had been soliciting the pope for some time, in order to obtain a divorce from Catherine of Aragon, his queen."1(p1822)
Illicit, elicit, solicit. The above examples make it abundantly clear that these words have distinctly different denotations; yet they are often confused or misused, even by careful writers. In medical contexts, it is especially important to preserve the distinctions between them.
Illicit, denoting simply "not permitted; unlawful"2(p618) (and sometimes used colloquially to indicate naughty, unseemly, or immoral), has limited use in medical writing. For example, written materials might convey the risks associated with use of illicit drugs, discuss illicit relationships between researchers and industry, or report on the illicit trade in human body parts. Beyond such instances, however, the word does not often come into play.
Elicit, however, is another story. Denoting "to call forth or draw out (as information or a response)" or "to draw forth or bring out (something latent or potential),"2(p404) the word occurs frequently in medical contexts. It might be used in both senses regarding a patient–physician encounter: for example, a physician evaluating a patient's pain will ask questions to elicit information about the characteristics of the pain (eg, location, nature, duration, exacerbating factors). From the patient's perspective, that is the easy part, and patients might well wish this were the end of the matter; however, having thus elicited mere information about the patient's pain, the physician then embarks on maneuvers expressly designed to elicit the real thing. In written materials covering the basic sciences and their clinical applications, elicit is perhaps most frequently used in the second sense noted above. For example,a writer might report that a new vaccine elicits a given immune response, describe pathological mechanisms that elicit organ damage, or present a theory of how a treatment might elicit changes in gene expression.
Even accomplished writers sometimes confuse the homophones illicit and elicit. However, these terms are easily distinguished from each other: illicit is always an adjective, whereas elicit is—in current usage—always a verb. (It also can help to remember that illicit denotes illegal; for the temperance-minded, the illicit distillation of spirits might also come to mind.)
Troublesome as homophones can be, however, sometimes near-homophones can be more so, especially when they are similar in meaning. For example, elicit and solicit—the latter most frequently used in medical contexts in the sense of "to approach with a request or plea"2(p1187)—are often used interchangeably, with solicit perhaps more frequently used in place of elicit.3 However, such use obscures an important distinction. The Oxford Dictionary of American Usage and Style perhaps explains this distinction most succinctly: "To solicit a response is to request it. To elicit a response is to get it."3 Thus, in the patient–physician encounter alluded to above, the physician solicits information regarding the patient's pain and then performs a physical examination to elicit and evaluate actual pain. The Oxford resource also points out an ambiguity that can arise when elicit and solicit are confused: "'Sentient representatives expect the core group to solicit [read elicit?] response from about 4,000 people.'"3 In other words, will the group solicit responses from 4000 persons, or will the group approach a larger number of persons to try and elicit 4000 responses, knowing that some persons approached might not reply? In medical contexts, the distinction has obvious implications for reports of survey studies and possibly for discussions of power calculations in reports of clinical trials.
Three quick tips:
* Looking for an adjective to describe something as immoral, forbidden, or illegal? Illicit (think illicit = illegal) might be the ticket.
* Looking for a verb to convey the requesting of information? Consider solicit.
* Looking for a verb to convey the obtaining of information or the drawing forth of a response or change? Consider elicit (think elicit = get).—Phil Sefton, ELS

The LG G2 is a high-end Android smartphone - an embodiment of cutting-edge hardware and precision-polished software, sprinkled with a handful of innovative goodies all over. It comes with top-of-the-line specifications, including a 5.2-inch, 1080p display made using IPS LCD technology, a quad-core Snapdragon 800 chip running at 2.3GHz, and 2GB of RAM. In terms of performance, the device should rank among the best handsets to date. Further down the list we have an advanced 13MP camera that stands out with cool features like optical image stabilization and 1080p video capturing at 60 frames per second. A notable multimedia feature is the support for 24-bit, 192kHz audio. The design of the LG G2 is quite unusual for its volume and power buttons are placed on the back. Its thickness of 9 millimeters is acceptable considering that inside the phone you'll find a 3000mAh removable battery. 32GB of on-board storage are present, expandable further through the use of a microSD card (in some markets).

Nabisco's right, but in addition to that compilations/archive releases/reissues of older material, etc., don't get those tags. (The other one being "Best New Music" and all.) There have been a few exceptions for collections of recent-ish 7"/12"-type material that most readers wouldn't have been previously familiar with (this was really stretched for the Braxe comp) but that Steinski is a collection of material from the past three decades, so...

from the Notwist review today:
Acher provides a candid glimpse into a troubled marriage by describing it in terms of the material goods used to prop it up-- "I remember good lies/ When we carried them home with us/ To our bedside tables and the coffee sets"-- thereby keenly drawing parallels between dysfunctional relationships and the IKEA-furnished apartments that house them: the cool surface appearances barely concealing the soul-deadening sterility.

METRIC, Grow Up and Blow Away
In fact, Metric's songs are often characterized by a commercial sheen-- they're smart little packets that, even as anti-consumerism screeds, have a compact luster that makes you feel like getting online to price experimental shelving units from Ikea or browsing all-over print hoodies at H&M.
THE RADIO DEPT., Pet Grief
Their second album, Pet Grief, is stacked with syrupy pop songs, as Johan Duncanson's effortless vocals ride the crest of soft-focus synths and programmed drums. But too often, the songs come off like the sonic equivalent of IKEA furniture: highly functional, sleekly designed, and sterile.
TORTOISE, It's All Around You
More frustrating, however, is that, after the scrappy Standards, where Parker spiked the mix with sparks and grime, Tortoise have pressed their music back into Scandinavian furniture. Cold Ikea percussion frames hold downy white duvets of keyboards, the music sterile and functional.
MORCHEEBA, Charango
The Sire execs saw to it that all elements of darkness, ethereality and-- gasp in shock here-- black soul were quickly and efficiently excised from the mix, to be replaced by the most predictable, glossy surface settings this side of IKEA.

The only way you could compare music to IKEA would be if, say, the download cost you $.99, but then you had to pay another $.10 to load it into your iPod, another $.10 to put it in a playlist, $.50 for the metadata, another $.50 for the album art, etc...

What's odd is that the music review references to Ikea always make the furniture sound more glossy and professional and, well, sturdy than it actually is.
Like, the real IKEA pop would be Robyn - not because she's from Scandanavia, but because there's that same sense of rickety el cheapo construction aspiring to ape the high-tech and high-cost fashions of the day.

Griffey's 600th vaults Reds to victory
Slugger's historic blast part of four homers for Cincinnati
By Alden Gonzalez / MLB.com
It turns out he was right.
The Reds blasted four home runs, including one in each of the first three innings, and split the series against the Marlins with a 9-4 win in front of 16,003 at Dolphin Stadium.
Of all the homers the Reds hit, one in particular stood out.
With Jerry Hairston at third base after stealing two bases in the first inning, Ken Griffey Jr. got a 3-1 hanging curveball from Marlins starter Mark Hendrickson and deposited it into the right-field seats for his 600th career home run.
Griffey became the sixth player in Major League history to reach that plateau. But the fact that the homer gave the Reds the initial lead that catapulted them into a victory made it extra special.
"Much better," Reds manager Dusty Baker said about the home run meaning more because it came in a victory. "He gave us that much-needed lift that we hadn't been getting early in the game.
"That was a monster home run. This isn't an easy place to hit them at. He got us on the board, 2-0, in the very first inning and got it over with."
Plus, Reds starter Edinson Volquez usually doesn't need much run support.
Cincinnati's blossoming right-hander got the win after pitching six innings. He allowed a season-high three earned runs on three hits while walking five and striking out five. The 25-year-old improved to 9-2 on the year with a 1.56 ERA.
"All of my pitches were working," Volquez said. "The last two innings, my legs were shaking a little bit because I was tired."
But Griffey wasn't the only one to make history for the Reds on Monday. Catcher Paul Bako reached his own milestone by notching the first multihomer game of his career.
After Griffey made it 2-0 in the first, the Reds got runners on first and second to start the second inning, and Bako delivered with a three-run homer to straightaway center field to make it a five-run game. He then added a two-run shot in the ninth to pretty much seal the deal.
"It was really nice because we're having a tough time on the road," said Bako, who finished the night 2-for-4 with five RBIs. "We played really good ball at Philly, and our pitching really gave us a chance to win. But we didn't really come through that big in Philly, so it was nice to split the series here."
The Reds took a six-run lead when Brandon Phillips led off the third inning with his 12th home run of the year. But the Marlins cut the deficit in half in the fifth. After a single and two walks by Volquez, Jeremy Hermida hit a two-run single to right field, and third baseman Jorge Cantu added an RBI single to left to make it 6-3.
But the Reds made sure the Marlins -- who beat them on a walk-off homer on Saturday -- wouldn't come back on Monday. Dunn led off the top of the ninth with a double, and after a walk to Edwin Encarnacion and a sacrifice fly by Joey Votto, Bako homered to right and blew the game open.
Jared Burton, Bill Bray, David Weathers and Francisco Cordero combined to throw three innings of one-run ball out of the bullpen and preserve the win.
"We swung the bats well [in South Florida], and it felt good to have Volquez on," said Hairston, who left the game in the first inning after getting his hand caught on Cantu's cleat when stealing second. An X-ray revealed a non-displaced fracture of his left thumb, and he estimated he'd be out 2-4 weeks. "We knew we had a chance to win it, and it's good to get a split."
The win comes at a good time for the Reds, who went 3-5 on this road trip and now open up a nine-game homestand against the Cardinals, Red Sox and Dodgers beginning Tuesday.
"We had a chance to take [three out of four], but things didn't work out," Dunn said. "For the most part, we played pretty good on this road trip. It gave us momentum to go home, and we have a tough home schedule coming up."

Staios was hired as player development advisor by the Leafs. He will advise the Leafs management team on prospects and players at all levels of the organization and go on special scouting assignments.
"I am very excited about joining the Toronto Maple Leafs management team," Staios said. "I am looking forward to doing everything I can to help the team have success. The time is right for me and my family to step away from the game that I love to play and move on to a new chapter in my life. I feel very fortunate to have the opportunity to work with Brian Burke and Dave Nonis and learn from their experience and knowledge." Staios, 39, played 1,001 games in the NHL during a career that included stops with six teams, including the Vancouver Canucks, Edmonton Oilers and Calgary Flames. The Hamilton native played for Burke, the Leafs' general manager, when they were both with the Canucks from 1996 to Œ99.
"Steve Staios was a working man's player' — ready to play every night, competed to the best of his ability regularly against the other team's best players — and he was an exemplary teammate," Burke said. "Steve has tremendous character and leadership skills and he has a bright future. This position will allow him to provide insight and analysis while developing his understanding of our hockey operations. We congratulate him on his dedication and worthy years of service as a player and we are really thrilled to have him join our team today."
A day after the Nashville Predators matched an offer sheet from the Philadelphia Flyers, preventing Shea Weber from switching teams, the defenceman said Wednesday he can envision staying in the Music City until he retires.
And, yes, he did sound sincere. Of course, he now has 110 million reasons to like playing for the Predators.
"Now that this is over with Š this is a place I can see myself for the rest of my career," Weber told The Tennessean. "I love the city of Nashville. I love the fans and my teammates. It's a very positive thing that the ownership has stepped up and shown they're going to be a team that's going to spend to the cap and bring guys in and be a successful team." Philly's offer sheet was for $110 million over 14 years. That means Weber will be under contract to the Preds, if he stays the entire term, until the
2025-26 season, when he's 40 years old.
"This made the most sense," Predators general manager David Poile said. "I think everybody feels they're part of it and going forward we're all part of this team we're going to take to the Stanley Cup in the near future."
Newly acquired New York Rangers forward admitted Wednesday he would have preferred to be traded at the deadline last season.
The Columbus Blue Jackets traded Nash to the Rangers Monday for a package of three young players and a first-round pick. Nash, the Blue Jackets captain, wanted out of Columbus last season but it took longer than he expected for a deal to be worked out.
"I was disappointed, but I was captain of an NHL hockey team and was professional," Nash said during a press conference in New York. "You look at huge deals and sometimes they get done in a day and sometimes it takes months. I think it's a pretty big trade for both organizations and it had to get done right and I respect that.
"I always wanted to get it done, but get it done in the right way. I wanted to play somewhere where I wanted to be and this was my No. 1 priority, to be here. I'm just happy it worked out. If I had to wait all summer to come here, then I would have." The 28-year-old winger said he still hasn't completely come to grips with the fact he's now a Ranger.
"I don't think it's all digested just yet," Nash said. "It's been a bit crazy, with everything happening and coming down here. I'm excited to meet all the staff here and all the people and get to know some of the players and look forward to training camp."
