Dolik named Senior CLASS Award nominee
Dolik named Senior CLASS Award nominee
UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. -- Midfielder Nick Dolik (Bloomfield Hills, Mich.) was named a nominee for the prestigious Senior CLASS Award on Wednesday (Feb. 20). Dolik is the second Nittany Lion in as many years to be nominated for the award after Matthew Mackrides was a finalist.
Dolik is one of 20 nominees who excel both on and off the field for the award. To be eligible, a student-athlete must be a Division I senior and have notable achievements in four areas of excellence: community, classroom, character and competition. The Senior CLASS Award is an acronym for Celebrating Loyalty and Achievement for Staying in School, which focuses on the total student-athlete and encourages students to use their platform in athletics to make a positive impact as leaders in the community.
Dolik is majoring in business with a concentration in marketing. A three-year letterwinner on the team and a preseason All-CAA pick by the coaches, Dolik is one of the leaders of the Penn State lacrosse team that is 2-0 with a win over No. 9 Denver.
A Michigan native, Dolik is a member of the Armenian Youth Federation, Detroit Chapter, which helps support the Armenian community locally and globally. He works as a liaison for the AYF members in Chicago, Boston and New York.
Along with his teammates, Dolik helped fellow classmate Drew Roper (Columbus, Ohio) in Kim Roper's fight against non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma. The Penn State lacrosse team along with the student athletic training staff in Penn State sports medicine organized the Match4Kim swab drive to help find a bone marrow match for Roper and 10,000 more to fight lymphoma. In all, 3,600 donors were found through the drive on Penn State's campus.
Dolik and his teammates have also taken part in the Centre County United Way's Day of Caring, working with children at Houserville Weekly, teaching free youth lacrosse clinics in the county and assisting with the Military & Family Association. Before Penn State, Dolik volunteered in many projects in the city of Detroit while attending Brother Rice High School.
Dolik has also had to overcome many struggles in his athletic career to achieve the success he has had at Penn State. In junior year of high school, his closest grandmother was diagnosed with cancer and passed away as he dedicated the season in her memory. Dolik led the team to an undefeated season and a No. 1 ranking in the Inside Lacrosse High School polls as the leading scorer.
That summer, as a highly-touted recruit, Dolik sublexed his right hip and tore both his labrums and required surgery. After seven months of rehabilitation, he was named captain for his senior season, led his team to their fourth straight state title and earned Midwest Player of the Year honors. Ultimately, Dolik earned a scholarship to Penn State while overcoming a potentially career-ending injury.
On the lacrosse field at Penn State, Dolik has been one of the most lethal offensive weapons in the Nittany Lion arsenal. Amassing 50 goals, 14 assists and 64 points from the midfield, Dolik is a two-time All-CAA Second Team honoree.
Entering the season, Dolik has already been placed on the All-CAA Preseason Team as one of the top offensive threats in the league. As a junior, Dolik scored 18 goals and 22 points, while picking up 15 ground balls and causing five turnovers. He posted five multi-goal games and will be looked upon to contribute once again to the No. 14 Nittany Lions. That backed up a solid sophomore campaign in which he had 13 points and 19 ground balls from the midfield position. As a freshman, Dolik scored 21 times and had a career-high 27 points for the Nittany Lions.
Dolik is the CAA's lone representative. Penn State now has had four Senior CLASS Award nominees: Pat Heim (2007), Drew Adams (2009), Mackrides (2012) and Dolik (2013). Heim and Mackrides were both finalists for the award.
The Nittany Lion home opener is on Sunday at Noon against No. 3 Notre Dame for a top 10 matchup following PSU's 15-12 win over No. 9 Denver. Fighting Irish defender Matt Miller is also a Senior CLASS Award nominee. Admission and parking is free to the event.

Research Highlights
November 2004
Mechanisms of 3D intercellular signaling in mammary epithelial cells in response to low dose, low-LET radiation: Implications for the radiation-induced bystander effect
Pacific Northwest National Laboratory scientists are developing methods to monitor living cells in real time and characterize responses to low-dose radiation to ultimately understand the influence of radiation-induced bystander effects (RIBE) on long-term growth and survival of cells grown in three-dimensional (3D) cultures. These methods include standardizing 3D cell culture systems and using novel high-speed confocal microscopy in situ to visualize the transmission of RIBE signaling in a 3D human mammary epithelial system.
This is important because previous in vitro observations in vitro of cells in two-dimensional (2D) culture could have very little relevance as compared to 3D systems that more closely mimic reality. Researchers are using human mammary epithelial cells grown on extra-cellular matrix material to generate either complex or simple structures. Using these 3D cell systems in combination with PNNL's newly developed, high-speed confocal microscope enables the real-time 3D visualization of cell signaling.
The confocal microscope monitors signals in bystander cells following exposure to low doses of low-linear energy transfer (LET) radiation. Cell survival, growth, cell differentiation, radiation-induced activation of signaling pathways, and changes in patterns of gene induction will be determined as a function of both dose and the proportion of cell population irradiated. Bystander-induced changes in cell signaling in this 3D system will be compared to bystander effects in simple tissue culture systems.
The PNNL scientists are also using flow cytometry to analyze structures and determine whether there are long-term survival consequences from low-dose radiation exposure. Cells are tagged with fluorescent proteins to differentiate the irradiated from the non-irradiated cells. Because of the relatively low numbers of cells in the experimentally generated 3D cell structures, the scientists were unsure if this type of analysis would be appropriate; however, it indeed enabled them to identify and quantify the two cell populations that comprised the 3D structure. The results are shown here.
Fluorescence Activated Cell Sorter (FACS) analysis of mammary cell 3D structures containing fluorescent and non-fluorescent cells. Structures were formed from a mixture of 50% fluorescent cells. After 1 week in culture the structures were dissociated and analyzed by FACS. These results are shown in the middle panel where the right-hand peak represents the cells expressing red fluorescent protein (compare to the left panel with all fluorescent cells and the right panel with no fluorescent cells). The relative proportion of fluorescent cells in the week-old structures was 35%.
Shown here is an acinus, which is the 3D structure that is formed by MCF10A breast cells grown on extracellular matrix. It is comprised of cells expressing a gene for monomeric red fluorescent protein. The use of this fluorescent dye resulted in fully viable cells that were able to form 3D structures on matrigel. This particular structure is also stained with a green dye (Syto 13) that delineates the cell nucleus. This acinus is fully mature with all the cell nuclei at the structure periphery.
The scientists have also been investigating intercellular communication via gap junctions by introducing a dye into the cells, using a scrape-loading technique, and then recording the progressive spread of the dye over time using the confocal microscope. One such study is shown below. In the absence of the gap junction inhibitors Lindane and AGA, a progressive expansion of the dye (shown in aqua pseudo color) occurs from the acellular, scraped area to cells more distal to the scrape.
This study of bystander-induced signaling in 3D systems will give new insight for understanding the importance of RIBE in low-dose risk assessment. The work is one of four current PNNL projects funded by DOE's Office of Biological and Environmental Research's Low Dose Radiation Research Program. The PNNL team members are Lee K. Opresko, Marianne B. Sowa-Resat, and William B. Chrisler. The confocal microscope was developed by H. Steven Wiley, Marianne B. Sowa-Resat, Kenneth Perrine, and Derek Hopkins.

iOS Multitasking Lag
Benjamin Mayo, elaborating on a tweet by our Graham Spencer about a "delay" that occurs when switching between apps using multitouch gestures on the iPad:
The reason for this delay is linked to how iOS 'freezes' background applications; the period of inactivity experienced is relative to the time it takes to unfreeze the desired application. For the Settings app, the time necessary to become active is negligible, so it feels instantaneous, but for more complicated apps (like Mail) the thawing process takes longer and becomes noticeable in use. Until that point, touches do nothing because you are effectively looking at a screenshot of the application when you were last open — the app doesn't receive any touch events at this stage.
Using the iPad every day, I, too, think this is one of the most annoying aspects of relying on the device for work stuff. While Open In would certainly top the list for many people, personally I am more annoyed by that slight delay that occurs every time I switch back and forth between two apps with the four-finger multitasking gesture. The most common scenario is copying bits of text or URLs from a browser and swiping back to a text editor or Evernote to paste them; after swiping, I can't bring up the Copy & Paste menu instantly, because, like Benjamin says, the app is "suspended" and therefore unresponsive to taps. It is a very specific and minor annoyance, but one that, over time, becomes a detriment to the overall experience. As Graham noted, this doesn't happen on a Mac, and it shouldn't happen on an iPad either.
I have also noticed that the iPad mini tends to "flush" apps from memory far more frequently than my iPad 3 did. This happens with any kind of app, but it's annoying when Safari or Chrome have to reload every tab even if I only switched between 2 or 3 apps; I suppose it's related to the inferior nature of the iPad mini's hardware when compared to the latest iPad 3rd and 4th generation models.
I honestly don't care about seeing "multiple apps" on the iPad's screen, but I'd love for Apple to find a way to make iOS multitasking less aggressive without compromising battery life, making the process of moving between apps instantaneous as it is on OS X.

A wide range of luxury vehicles featuring limited edition interiors, all-wheel independent suspension systems and peek-a-boo windows are on display at "Stroller Park" in Bel Bambini, a Costa Mesa baby boutique.
Inside the store, more than 20 strollers with a multitude of functions surround an artificial grass lot, allowing parents to test out the buggies on different terrains.
Bel Bambini, including the West Hollywood flagship store, which is frequented by celebrity moms with paparazzi in tow, is the brainchild of owner Kristina Lin, of Irvine.
"I'm an Orange County girl," said Lin, who believes living in area more than makes up for the daily commute to Los Angeles. "Our whole family is here and it's kid-friendly. It's worth it."
Lin decided to open Bel Bambini, or "Beautiful Baby," when she was pregnant with twins and having a hard time finding nursery items that were both functional and stylish, she said.
"You could find things at Target and Babies R Us and luxury items in boutiques but not all under the same roof," Lin said. "I saw a void in the market."
Today, employees are required to sign confidentiality agreements to protect the identities of celebrities like Jessica Alba, Halle Berry and the Kardashian sisters, who have been spotted shopping at the store.
Adele was seen leaving the West Hollywood shop surrounded by paparazzi earlier this year, and an episode of "The Real Housewives of Orange County" was recently shot at the Costa Mesa location, on Newport Boulevard.
Sister store
Lin opened the Costa Mesa store in 2011 after numerous requests by clients and fans requesting an Orange County location and handed over the managerial reins to her sister Loann Tran, who serves as general manager.
"It's personally rewarding for me to help somebody during such a beautiful part of their lives," said Tran, of Tustin Ranch. "We become part of the families … like aunties."
The 10,000-square-foot location includes nearly a dozen mini-nursery vignettes complete with different themes likely to appeal to the modern, traditional, gender-neutral, minimalist or eco-friendly parent.
"Sometimes our customers will come in and say, 'I want it exactly like this,'" Bel Bambini sales manager Sarah Getchell said, pointing to the walls and floors of the nautically themed nursery.
Floor plan
Everything from the chandeliers to the rugs in the vignettes are available for sale. Bel Bambini prides itself as being a one-stop shop for moms and moms-to-be who can find everything from pacifiers to cribs to Versace baby clothes.
Next to the indoor café seating area is "High Chair Row" where dozens of the newest chairs in design and function are lined up for display.
The store's second floor houses luxury baby clothes from the fashion houses of Dior, Chloe and Fendi, including a $478 ecru gown by Junior Gaultier.
The shop also carries an extensive selection of eco-friendly and organic cotton baby clothes and has a separate shoe department.
Parents might find items they never knew even existed like Jacadi's alcohol-free baby perfume line, intended to be applied sparingly on babies' skin or clothes.
"If you see it online, we usually have it," Getchell said.
Family business
Lin and Tran say the posh surroundings of Bel Bambini are reminiscent of their lives in Vietnam before they had to escape and become refugees.
"We had nannies, chauffeurs and pretty dresses imported from the U.S. and Europe, and then we had to drop all of that move here," Tran said. "We were so spoiled then."
The sisters, along with their parents, four other siblings and nearly 40 extended family members, were able to leave Vietnam a few weeks before the fall of Saigon in 1975, when Lin's father, a high-ranking military officer got word the communists were approaching the city.
The entire family boarded a B-52 bomber and stopped in Guam before temporarily settling at Camp Pendleton.
"We were very fortunate in that way," Lin said. "We didn't even know until we came to the states and witnessed what was going on over there."
They remained at Camp Pendleton for an extended period because their grandfather, the family patriarch, refused to let the group get separated, and
remained refugees until the state of Washington eventually sponsored the nearly 50-member family, Tran said.
The transition was difficult but Lin, Tran and their four siblings attended college and eventually moved back to Southern California.
"We didn't know how to do anything," Tran said. "There was a language barrier and it was difficult."
Despite hurdles, today there is a civil engineer, attorney, academic counselor and two businesswomen in the family, Tran said.
Bel Bambini is looking to expand, scoping out locations in SoHo in New York and Union Square in San Francisco.
Bel Bambini is at 1800 Newport Blvd., near Triangle Square. For more information visit http://www.bel-bambini.com.

Was just thinking about load cells and extruders (http://www.omega.co.uk/prodinfo/load-cells.html ) with desires to print large.. and I can't help but always come back to the want for a granule feeder.
- Add a granule hopper that mounts on the top of LISA and feeds granules through a hole in the center of the top board
- Granules are held by a trap door that is mechanically opened by the extruder head parking against it
- Granules fill a magazine in the extruder head
- Extruder primes and continues
- Switch magazine out when you change color/to avoid bleed
- Multiple trap doors for different materials/colors/mixing?
- Magazine spring-extends automatically when empty, so it can catch the trapdoor again?
Maybe the magazines live in the trap door, and a heated basalt top is drilled out to contain them. At 50% of melt temperature? The magazine is taller than the top is thick, so the heat is directed to a strategic area.
Borosilicate glass chamber/pre-nozzle that downsizes through a small piece of high-temp silicone tubing and a nozzle? Plenty of borosilicate pipettes and pieces that are relatively affordable.
Do you run a screw or can you apply pressure? CO2 is cheap..
Apply a small current to a sleeve somewhere and we have a contact point for a calibration brush?
You are only heating and controlling a small amount of material.. but the devil is in making the details affordable.

Cold War Kids, 'Dear Miss Lonelyhearts'
If you want to know what it sounds like for a band to go in several different directions at once and actually make that philosophy work for a good chunk of an album, look no further than the fourth studio release from this California rock quartet. While "Lonelyhearts," the group's first album with new guitarist Dann Gallucci, offers some of the atmospheric, blues-tinged sound that made its name, it also beats to a distinctly electronic pulse. There are also rivers of synths, spectral grooves, and keening vocals gently swirling in fits of forward propulsion and melancholy stasis. It also makes grand, often successful stabs at sing-to-the-rafters arena rock anthems that call to mind bands like the Killers or even Keane. At least seven of the 10 tracks score immediately, with the waltz-time drama of "Tuxedos" conjuring the weariness, despair, and relief of canceled nuptials, and the title track, a gorgeous dirge with swoony falsetto flourishes and the sage observation that "the good times never call when you wait by the phone," standing tallest. (Out Tuesday)
ESSENTIAL "Tuxedos"
Cold War Kids performs at Paradise Rock Club on April 10.

It took Mary Ann "Sam" Cunningham a while to find her real passion in life. In fact, she says it wasn't until she went through a mid-life crisis while living in Boulder, Colo., that she really discovered what she was meant to do.
"I'd always wanted to study anthropology," she said. So she went back to her alma mater, the University of Colorado at Boulder, where she studied with Dr. Joe Ben Wheat, an expert on Navajo rugs and culture.
"He was my mentor the first three years … He taught me everything I know about Navajo rugs. He was the world authority," she said. "That got me started."
Though Wheat pushed Cunningham toward becoming a textile expert, she ended up going her own direction.
"I didn't find it that interesting," she said of studying textiles. "The people were what I found interesting."
Cunningham knew that hand-woven rugs were a main source of income for many Navajo families living on the reservation. She also knew that rugs made from the wool of Navajo-Churro sheep fetched a much higher price on the market. Cunningham began visiting the reservations and encouraging the people to raise their own Churro sheep.
"I saw an opportunity to maybe show people how some of the cultural stuff they've always done could at least supplement their income," she said.
Cunningham found that many of the Navajo people were aware of the value of rugs made from Churro wool, but they couldn't afford the hefty prices that many breeders ask for the heritage breed.
"A nice sheep can sell for $400," Cunningham said.
However, after one of those talks, a Navajo man asked her how she could extol the virtues of raising Navajo-Churro sheep when she didn't actually have any herself.
"He stated that people who don't have sheep don't understand the world," Cunningham said.
Around that time, a friend was forced to sell her flock of Navajo-Churro sheep, and she encouraged Cunningham to buy them.
"I'd had horses and dogs before, but I didn't know anything about sheep," Cunningham said. But she didn't let that scare her away. She bought the sheep and started her own flock. Today, raising Churro sheep has become a major part of Cunningham's identity.
There are currently 40 sheep residing on Cunningham's 3-acre property south of Moab. She uses an extensive network to identify women in the Navajo community who are excellent weavers and who would benefit from having a flock of their own. She then sells them the sheep at a much lower rate than she could get from selling the coveted breed to others.
"My focus is teaching people how to utilize these animals rather than just having them as pets in their backyard," she said.
In addition to raising sheep, Cunningham has spent many years working in the health care field. She has also been heavily involved in politics and has worked for several political campaigns throughout the years. She served as a Grand County Commissioner for two years and has been a member of the League of Women Voters. She has also served on many local boards, including the Museum of Moab and the Grand County Special Service Recreation District board.
Although she has stepped back from an active role in politics, Cunningham said she tries to stay involved.
"I love politics," she said. "All those things I've done have helped me understand the community."
However, Cunningham said she decided it is important to focus her time.
"You can't do it all, because you'll do it badly," she said.
Now, she focuses her time on her sheep and helping the people that she can. Two weeks ago when someone arrived in Moab with a van full of 50 pounds of food they wanted to donate, Moab residents knew to call Cunningham.
"This week I'm a food provider," she said. "That's why I love Moab, because you can make these connections."

San Ramon, Ca — Mark Mastrov's abrupt resignation as chairman of the board of 24 Hour Fitness, San Ramon, CA, left some in the industry puzzled.
Mastrov, who founded 24 Hour in 1983, resigned effective Jan. 31. A brief notice of his resignation was sent about three weeks before that to 24 Hour employees.
"The way that it was communicated by the company to Mark's own colleagues was disrespectful," says John McCarthy, former executive director of the International Health, Racquet and Sportsclub Association (IHRSA). "The debt that 24 Hour owes to Mark is immeasurable. The company could have and should have communicated Mark's resignation in a manner that unambiguously honored Mark. That didn't happen, which disappointed many people."
A statement from 24 Hour said that Mastrov planned to pursue other opportunities. Mastrov could not be reached for comment.
In 1983, Mastrov borrowed $15,000 from his grandmother and bought a 10 percent stake in 24 Hour — which was then a 5,000-square-foot club in San Leandro, CA — before eventually buying out his partner. Today, 24 Hour is the highest-revenue producing company in the industry, serving more than 3 million members in more than 400 clubs worldwide.
Mastrov moved from CEO to chairman in 2006 after Forstmann Little & Co. named former Home Depot Executive Carl Liebert as its new CEO. The move came a year and a half after Forstmann Little & Co. purchased 24 Hour for $1.6 billion.
"Mark is still a young man," McCarthy says. "To date, he has created, from scratch, a company that is the envy of the worldwide health club industry. No one has ever done before what he managed to do. It is a Horatio Alger success story of epic magnitude."
Ray Wilson, who sold his 68-club Family Fitness Centers to 24 Hour in 1995 for $95 million, calls Mastrov "the greatest person that's ever been in the fitness industry. Period. Nobody, in my opinion, has come close to Mark."
Mastrov's departure could give him more time to devote to Augie's Quest, an organization that raises money to find a cure for ALS, the disease that has afflicted Life Fitness founder Augie Nieto. Mastrov was the brainchild behind The Bash for Augie's Quest, a fundraiser that debuted at the IHRSA show in 2006. He was chairman for the first two events and remains on the founder's committee for the event. McCarthy is chairman of this year's event, which takes place March 7 in San Diego.
"Mark has played an instrumental role in the success of The Bash for Augie's Quest and also for Augie's Quest in general," says Shannon Shryne, who coordinates Augie's Quest initiatives as the national director of business development for the Muscular Dystrophy Association, which has an ALS division. "Our hope is that he continues to stay involved. We're very confident that his future will be as successful as his past has been."
In an e-mail forwarded through Shryne to Club Industry's Fitness Business Pro, Nieto wrote of Mastrov, "Mark and I have been friends for over 25 years. Your friendship is truly defined when adversity happens. Mark was one of the first people to reach out. He has held my hand and helped me have the courage to dream of a day that ALS will be a treatable disease, not a death sentence."

Pete's work encompasses abstract and contemporary figurative work with the overriding aesthetic being minimal, emphasising the form with strong lines. He creates completive work, a moment to reflect in a busy world. The Present sometimes being represented by the absent, memory by a trace, stillness by form. Light is an integral element in the manner with which it interacts with the works, reflecting and responding to the form. His recent body of work examines traditional Islamic art, looking at the engravings, tiling and architecture of Mosques and re-interprets these in sculptural form. I am currently contributing design elements to a new Mosque in Bristol. He exhibits regularly and have work in several collections here in the UK and overseas. He recently represented the UK at the prestigious Islamic Art Festival in the United Arab Emirates.
Pete has undertaken many public and coperate art commissions where he creates site specific work. Public artworks have been produced for various locations including hospitals, health centres, libraries, schools, and cycle paths and these projects have often involved significant community participation and consultation. Throughout his practice, he has collaborated with a variety of professionals, Public and coperate art consultants, form commissioners, architects, town planners to scientists, theologians and doctors and work closely with several engineers and fabricators.

Arkansas quarterback Tyler Wilson would love nothing more than to play the role of spoiler this week.
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — Arkansas quarterback Tyler Wilson would love nothing more than to play the role of spoiler this week.
Any hopes of a bowl game ended in a loss at Mississippi State last week for the Razorbacks (4-7, 2-5 Southeastern Conference), who began the season ranked in the top 10.
What began with national championship dreams, even following former coach Bobby Petrino's firing in April, will come to a certain end when Arkansas hosts No. 8 LSU (9-2, 5-2) today. How things play out after that for the Razorbacks, including the identity of their new coach, is unknown.
The Tigers still have expectations of a BCS bowl game — and are clinging to hopes of re-entering the SEC and national championship pictures.
"This is it," Wilson said. "... So, why not go out there and light it up one more time? That's how I'm looking at it."
Wilson wasn't the only one to let his guard down this week.
Interim coach John L. Smith, whose return after taking over for the scandal-ridden Petrino is unlikely, fought back tears while looking back at the Razorbacks' disappointing season. Arkansas began the season ranked in the top 10 before an early season loss to Louisiana-Monroe sent it tumbling from the polls and began a four-game losing streak from which the Razorbacks never recovered.
Smith, whose open personality was welcomed upon his return in April, took criticism for his same upbeat nature once the losses began to pile up. His coaching fate now lies in the hands of Arkansas athletic director Jeff Long following Friday's game.
"We're sorry again we couldn't have maybe done more," Smith said.
While the Razorbacks' postseason is expected to be filled with transition to a new coaching staff, LSU is hopeful of a return to a BCS bowl game and possibly more.
The Tigers appeared out of the SEC and national championship pictures following a Nov. 3 loss to Alabama, but they are currently the highest-ranked, two-loss team and could potentially player their way back into next weekend's conference title game. Of course, that's only possible if Auburn shocks the No. 2 Crimson Tide this weekend — and LSU wins.
"We don't control our own destiny," LSU safety Eric Reid said. "But winning 10 games and going to a BCS bowl is exactly our motivation. Our season is not over. We have to finish the season strong. We want to get a win over Arkansas and see what bowl game we can get."
The Tigers hope the rebirth of their once-anemic passing game continues today against the Razorbacks, who are 115th in the country in allowing 292.1 yards passing per game. LSU quarterback Zach Mettenberger struggled in the starting role earlier this season, but he's averaged 284.3 yards passing over his last three games.
A win would also give the Tigers double-digit wins for the sixth time in eight years under coach Les Miles, who is well aware of the difficulty of playing against Wilson and Arkansas — which has won three of its last five games against LSU.
"When you watch their film, you can see why they were ranked in the top 10 to start the season, and they're still there," Miles said. "The quality players have played hard. John L. Smith (is) in a tough position in this last game, but I'm sure that he'll be ready, and I'm sure that this Arkansas team will play inspired."
Injuries and fallout from the transition from Petrino — who was fired for hiring his mistress to a position in the athletic department and initially lying about her presence during an April 1 motorcycle accident — were too much for Arkansas to overcome this season.
Wilson's senior class was a part of much of the success. And given the circumstances of the season, he couldn't think of a better way to close out his career.
"Little Rock's great, and it's been tradition to be there, for sure," Wilson said. "This is where you'd want to play your last game."

As the law school community aspires to value diversity, inclusiveness, respect, and cultural competency, reality may not always match rhetoric. It is our professional responsibility to build a community where all voices are respectfully heard; this requires listening to and learning from those who have been left out, isolated, or otherwise disenfranchised. The Dean's Advisory Committee on Diversity developed a process by which students, faculty, and staff may report, comment, request information, and have concerns addressed about diversity and professional conduct within the law school community. The information gathered will be used to educate the community about concerns and to help build a respectful, inclusive environment.
The Dean's Advisory Committee on Diversity advises the Dean on ways to promote diversity and create an open, inclusive school climate that is welcoming to and supportive of all students, particularly those from underrepresented groups, including students of color, LGBTQ students, and students with disabilities. The Advisory Committee includes students, faculty, and staff. The Committee's charge is to create a plan for the School of Law to proactively promote, ensure and protect all at UW Law; to develop an inclusive learning environment and an atmosphere of academic discourse; to review opportunities and challenges in recruitment and retention of diverse students, faculty and staff; and to advocate for relevant training and education.
Unprofessional conduct is unacceptable speech, expression, or action that is based on perceived race, color, religion, ethnic/national origin, gender identity, sex, age, disability or sexual orientation. Actions include language and/or behaviors.
There are numerous ways you can report an incident. You can submit an incident report or you can submit a written report to the Dean's assistant in Room 371.You can also contact the chair of the Diversity Committee directly.
While it is your decision whether or not you choose to report an incident, remember that one of the primary purposes of the policy is education. Reporting incidents may help someone realize that his/her behavior is hurting someone else. The reporting program assists the law school in promoting an environment that fosters civility and mutual respect.
Yes. A report can be submitted by the victim as well as by anyone who was present or witnessed the incident.
You may report any kind of incident that you find offensive or disrespectful, especially those based on ethnicity, race, age, gender, sexual orientation, or disability. You can report either incidents that you wish to have the Dean's Advisory Committee on Diversity be aware of without a request for action (an information report) or incidents where you may want specific action taken. If a complaint or grievance falls outside of the committee's scope, a referral will be made (for example, the Dean for Academic Administration for grading issues).
The Diversity Committee recognizes the sensitive nature of potential complaints and grievances and will follow a response process that is confidential and respectful. When the responder meets with the incident reporter, the responder will discuss what level of privacy the reporter is comfortable with maintaining. The responder will not reveal the reporter's identity to anyone without first obtaining the permission of the reporter.
We understand that anonymity may be important in certain circumstances and you will not be required to reveal your identity. However, our ability to respond to incidents may be limited without the ability to discuss the incident with the reporter. In addition, anonymous reports may keep us from addressing the issues directly with the involved parties and may limit their ability to learn from and resolve the issue.
After submitting a report, you will be contacted by a designated member of the Dean's Advisory Committee on Diversity. These designated members have received special training.
If you include contact information, you will be contacted once the report has been reviewed. While the response time may vary, based upon the nature of the incident and the timing during the year, receipt of the complaint or concern will be acknowledged within five business days. The complaint or concern will be reviewed within two weeks, and whenever possible the reviewer will meet or correspond with the person who raised the complaint or concern.
Designated member of the Dean's Advisory Committee on Diversity have been trained in responding to the incidents in a confidential, respectful manner. The submitter of the report will be contacted by a designated respondent to arrange a time to meet, discuss and review the details of the incident and to determine what appropriate steps to take.
You can briefly describe what happened on the form. However, completion of the form is just the first step of the process. You will have the opportunity to describe the event to the designated respondent when they contact you.
It depends upon the nature of the incident reported. In some situations, no follow-up is needed or wanted by the reporting party; the report was filed to make the Committee aware of the incident's happening for community education purposes. For some situations, an appropriate remedy may involve meeting with the offending individual to bring the incident to his/her attention and discuss future remedies. For more serious situations, the respondent may refer the matter to the law school's Human Resources Department.
If, after you have made a report and have met with a responder, you wish not to have any action taken, the responder will respect this wish. A summary of the incident will be shared with the Dean's Advisory Committee on Diversity for program planning purposes but your identity will be kept anonymous unless you have given permission to share your identity.
Each report and follow-up notes from the designated respondent will be kept in a secured location. Only designated respondents will have access to these confidential materials. However, information from each report may be aggregated to track patterns of bias.
The Diversity Committee will prepare a quarterly report summarizing the types of incidents that have occurred and the actions taken. This report will not contain specific names or locations, to protect the privacy of the reporting individual(s) and the individuals the complaints are against. The Diversity Committee will distribute the findings in a quarterly informational session. At the end of the school year, a yearly report will be compiled and submitted to the law school's Dean.
In addition, the Dean will be informed about all reports made to help her recognize patterns of bias and to plan appropriate responses to improve the overall law school environment.

If the Internet Could Speak: 'I'm Melting! Melting!'
Aug 14, 2014 10:29 AM PT
Millions of users were unable to access the Web Tuesday, according to reports.
The websites of eBay, Amazon, Autotrader, LinkedIn, Time Warner and Verizon were among those hit.
The problem is due to a combination of factors: router configuration; the explosive growth of connected devices; and IPv4 running out of addresses.
"The industry faces many limitations with communications, ranging from wireless spectrum to core network bandwidth, and there is never a single solution to overcome these limitations," Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group, told TechNewsWorld.
"The immediate need is a combination of extending the router memory caps and rebooting the routers, plus bundling IP addresses," he continued.
The long-range solution is to shift from the Web's current IPv4 protocol to IPv6, "but even IPv6 will eventually face similar limitations," Enderle said.
The Trouble With Routers
The Internet is really a network of networks, and it is mapped by Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) routers, which store a map of the Web, correlating ranges of IP addresses to the various networks.
The BGP makes routing decisions based on paths, network policies, and rules configured by network administrators.
The problem is, older Internet routers have a default software limit of 512,000 IPv4 BGP routing table entries.
That limit was reached on the routers of several companies, including Internet service providers, on Tuesday, leading victims to dub it "512K Day."
The solution seems rather simple: Reboot routers after adjusting the limit.
However, "manually rebooting millions of routers is not an easy task, nor one that many companies have worked into their maintenance schedule, because they did not know when they would be affected," Jim McGregor, principal analyst at Tirias Research, told TechNewsWorld.
"In hindsight, companies should have been more proactive about addressing the issue," he said.
Internet Protocol Issues
The Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) has been concerned that IPv4 will run out of addresses since the 1980s.
IPv4 provides about 4.3 billion 32-bit addresses. Each of the five regional registries (RIRs) was allocated 16.8 million addresses.
The IETF adopted various technologies, including network address translation (NAT) and Class Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR), and began working on IPv6 in 1998.
IPv6 will provide 340 undecillion 128-bit addresses.
In efforts to promote IPv6, the Internet Society and several large content providers jointly launched the first World IPv6 Day. Two more were held, in 2012 and last year, and United States federal government agencies have been mandated to switch over to IPv6, but many large organizations have routers that run both IPv4 and IPv6, and others still haven't made the switch.
The explosion in the mobile device market contributed to the dearth of available IPv4 addresses. The new 4G LTE devices use IPv6, by the way, which is why the mobile industry is pushing them so hard.
The Role of ISPs
Some ISPs are among the companies that have not switched to IPv6, as Tuesday's meltdown showed.
"Moving to IPv6 generally means you have to replace a lot of older hardware and this is an expense many have put off for too long," Enderle said.
However, transiting to a new communications protocol "is difficult when the older protocol has already reached critical mass," Tirias' McGregor pointed out. "IPv6 hasn't really taken off yet, and that is becoming a bigger and bigger problem."
Further, the switchover has to occur in stages.
"The entire industry does not just drop one protocol and adopt another overnight," McGregor continued. "This happens over time as new products are introduced and communications platforms are upgraded."
Upgrading communications platforms is the slower process of the two, because companies want to realize returns on the very heavy investment these platforms require, McGregor said.
"We'll likely have to see more outages or large cash penalties or government intervention before a problem like this gets fixed," McGregor suggested. "It is incredibly expensive, and infrastructure investments are really hard to fund unless there's a lot of pressure to do so."

Tahiti island destinations have always been ready for their close-up, ranking among the most picturesque on the planet. Has Bora Bora ever taken a bad photo? Do Moorea's lofty spires and opalescent lagoons ever fail to inspire envy? And can the untamed Marquesas possibly be any more appealing to adventure travelers? Add in the pristine beaches and world-class dive sites of the Tuamotu Atolls, the old-school Polynesian customs of Huahine and Raiatea, the vanilla beans and lustrous black pearls of Taha'a, and even the chaotic bustle of the capital, Papeete, and Tahiti stands alone as a Technicolor mosaic of vacation perfection.
If you see yourself in this picture, here's more exciting details about Tahiti vacation destinations: They're bilingual with most residents speaking both Tahitian and French. The crystalline lagoons of Tahiti's 118 islands are filled with so many tropical fish it's like snorkeling in an aquarium. Its hundreds of overwater bungalows are waiting for you to drift off to asleep as shallow aquamarine water laps a Polynesian lullaby.
Traditions such as hip-shaking tamure dances and hypnotic fire performances seduce resort guests nightly and daytime diversions like shark and stingray feeding and Jet Ski excursions up the adrenaline level. Spa goers will enjoy traditional nature-based treatments that feel (and smell) divine, while cruise lovers can tour with ease, unpacking just once but sampling multiple islands in all their panoramic glory. Plus the merging of French and Tahitian cultures means great food and wine. Yes, Tahiti has star quality – and that's even before you count the multitude of etoiles in its nighttime sky.
While Bora Bora, Taha'a or even the Marquesas may beckon, French Polynesia's gateway – where a fragrant lei greeting awaits at Faa'a International Airport after a comfortable eight-hour nonstop from Los Angeles – is a Tahiti destination that should not be overlooked.
Moorea's beauty is mind-blowing. You'll steal your first glimpse from the main island of Tahiti and then as you arrive and Moorea's towering green peaks and slender white beaches come into focus, you'll be in awe over what nature has created for relaxation-starved visitors to enjoy.
Tahiti's prized jewel, Bora Bora has been seducing travelers for centuries and creating romantic memories since the first overwater bungalow resort was built some 50 years ago.
Revered by Tahitians as The Sacred Island, Raiatea is an undeveloped tropical playground that's home to both a rare mountain flower and French Polynesia's only navigable river.
Taha'a Tahiti – try saying that five times fast! Known as "The Vanilla Island," Taha'a earned its nickname by producing some of the world's finest vanilla and you'll enjoy that deliciously comforting scent practically everywhere you go.
Huahine island has a sparkling blue lagoon, beautiful white-sand beaches and lush green peaks – just like French Polynesia's more-well-known Society Islands (Tahiti, Moorea and Bora Bora) of which it is part.
When divers head to French Polynesia in search of stellar coral and adrenaline-rush dives, Rangiroa is often the destination of choice. The water's 150-foot visibility and abundant schools of sharks and tuna add to the allure.
Tikehau travel is the equivalent of a detox. After landing on a slender atoll, you are whisked off via motorboat to an intimate resort set amid soft pink sand to relax in a swaying hammock and snorkeling in a serene aquamarine lagoon.
Located about three hours by air from French Polynesia's main island of Tahiti and steeped in both history and adventure, the Marquesas is a lost-in-time island chain of dramatic volcanic cliffs shrouded in mystical clouds, and the final resting place of the South Pacific's most famous artist.
The Islands of French Polynesia or more commonly known as "Tahiti" are only 8 hours nonstop flight from Los Angeles (LAX) to Tahiti's Papeete's Faa'a Airport (PPT).
Nonstop flights depart Los Angeles almost daily on Air Tahiti Nui and Air France. Hawaiian Airlines operates nonstop flights from Honolulu (HNL) to Papeete (PPT) weekly.
Travelling to Bora Bora, Moorea or Tahiti's outer islands is easy. Air Tahiti and Air Moorea operate regular scheduled flights out of Tahiti from Faa'a Airport over a network of islands. Charted flights are available on request.
Catamarans and ferry boats cross between Tahiti and Moorea several times a day. All transfers can be arranged by our specialists at Islands In The Sun. For taxis or public transportation, it is best to ask the Concierge for options available and timetables.

Dec. 3, 2007
Jack Siedlecki, the Joel E. Smilow '54 Head Coach of Yale Football, has been named coach of the year by the New England Football Writers. Yale players Bobby Abare, Brandt Hollander, Mike McLeod and Jeff Monaco were named first-team All-New England by the same group.
Siedlecki, who nearly engineered Yale's first perfect season in 47 years after this fall's 9-1 campaign, has led the Bulldogs to victories in 17 of 20 games over the last two seasons. His 11th year at Yale (64-45) equaled his best mark (9-1 in 1999) as Bulldogs' mentor and was one win shy of his first undefeated and untied season as a head coach. Siedlecki's 1990 Worcester Poly Tech squad went 8-0-1.
"This is a great honor. It's nice to have this in my 20th year of coaching in New England," said Siedlecki. "I would like to thank the New England Football Writers for selecting me."
Abare, a junior linebacker from Acton, Mass., led the Blue with 53 solo tackles and 86 overall, including seven for lost yardage.
Hollander, the senior captain and nose guard from Indianapolis, Ind., was selected to play in the 2008 Hula Bowl after making 21 tackles and 2.5 sacks.
McLeod, the junior tailback from New Britain, Conn., who averaged 161.9 yards per game and scored 23 touchdowns, is also a candidate for the Walter Payton Award (FCS Offensive Player of the Year).
Monaco, a senior offensive guard from McDonald, Pa., paved the way for McLeod and the rest of the Bulldog offense to rank seventh in the nation in rushing with 265 yards a game.
All four Elis earned first-team All-Ivy status as well.

It was 42 years in the making.
After four previous trips to the Super Regional and knocking on the door of the College World Series, only to come up short, the 2014 Rebels kicked the door down.
They punched their ticket to Omaha rallying to win games two and three of the Super Regional against top-ranked and national No. 6 seed Louisiana-Lafayette. It will be their fifth trip to the College World Series in school history and the first since 1972.
"The road to Omaha is bumpy and windy, and to be honest with you, I didn't think it would take this long," head coach Mike Bianco said. "When you go, you have to have a special group, and this is group is certainly all of that. When we got them together in August, you could start to see the great mix of older guys and younger guys. They have played so terrific from week one to this point. I'm super proud of all of them."
"It's an unbelievable feeling," senior co-captain Will Allen said. "Coming in here with Austin Anderson and being here for four year and knowing our history, having the ups and down as teammates and on different teams. We wanted this year to be special and leave a legacy. It's a tremendous group of guys. All year, we have have fought through adversity. You can see that in our regional and this Super Regional, starting off with a loss and coming back and winning two straight games against a really good ULL team. They were a national seed for a reason."
When asked what makes this team special, Bianco referenced their toughness, as he has all season, but also specific instances of this toughness.
After squandering a 5-2 lead at Mississippi State, Ole Miss came back and won 12-2 the next day.
After being swept at Alabama, Ole Miss returned home and swept Auburn.
After losing two of three at home against LSU, including 2-0 in the rubber game, Ole Miss swept nationally ranked Kentucky on the road two weeks later.
"The mantra from the beginning is to have that toughness and be resilient and be tough enough to handle what this game deals you day in and day out," Bianco said. "This team is really tough, and they have a lot of belief in one another. The amazing thing is it's been from so many different guy. There's a different star every night."
As was the case Monday.
Despite being out-hit, 10-9, and committing four errors, the Rebels took the third and decisive game in decisive fashion, 10-4, scoring four runs in the top of the ninth before Josh Laxer closed out his 10-out save.
"This is one of those where you look at the box score, they out-hit us 10-9, and we had four errors," Bianco said. "You don't usually win those games, especially with a six-run spread. We made the most of the opportunities and got some big clutch hits and made some great pitches to get out of some jams."
In addition to special players, it also took special moments, and no play was more special than the perfectly executed relay play from Braxton Lee to Errol Robinson to Will Allen to keep the game-tying run off the board in the seventh.
"We saw the ball go down the line, similar play to last night," said Allen of the play. "Braxton (Lee), being as quick as he is, did a tremendous job to get to the ball and got it into the relay guy. And then Errol Robinson had a good throw to give me an opportunity to put a tag on the guy. It was a huge momentum swing for us to preserve the lead. We were really pumped up about that, and Josh Laxer shut it down from there."
Ole Miss had scored the would-be game-winning run on an RBI double from Auston Bousfield the previous inning, but Holt Perdzock dealt a decisive blow in the ninth. With the bases loaded and nobody out, he cleared the bases with a double to right to stretch the lead to 9-4 in favor of the Rebels.
And the countdown was on in the ninth.
Two outs away after a strikeout.
One out away after a fly out to center.
The 27th and final out on a ground out to short.
And then the celebratory dog pile on the mound.
"Getting that last out is every college baseball player's dream," Laxer said. "It's very hard to put into words right now. It's all sinking in. It's a great feeling."
"It was an awesome feeling," Allen said. "And then it was a little stressful toward the end when you can't breathe and bodies are getting bent up in different way. I feel bad for Josh Laxer who started off with me on top off of him, and then the rest of the guys coming in and tackling him and stuff like that. It's an unbelievable feeling and a reward for the season we have had so far."
Now Omaha and the College World Series awaits Bianco, his team and Rebel Nation.
"It's been a great run," Bianco said. "We have had several great teams. We have had teams that should have been in Omaha. I'm very thankful but I'm very happy for this group, this university and this fan base. They are are unbelievable and second to none. The support has been constant from fans and administration. This is really for everyone. As a university, we deserve this. They deserve to go to Omaha."

Important - UOM and prices
All prices shown upon logging in are prices for packs of products. We sell products in packs of 6, 12 or 25. For each products there is UOM in description - UOM means how many single products you can find in wholesale pack. So if UOM is 25 it means you buy 25 items as a pack (papers are always in packs of 25). The price you can see is for 25 items (in such situation) so to know the price for single item you need to divide the price into 25.
MSRP is Minimal Suggested Retail Price, so minimal price the final customer should pay for SINGLE item, when buying this item from the store.
In case of any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Laser cutters have evolved from prototyping tools to highly-productive finishing systems. Read on to learn about developments in lasers, control software, and other facets of the technology that make laser cutting systems a viable option for any shop currently using conventional, tool-based cutting machines.
By Markus Klemm
Laser cutting, often referred to as digital diecutting, uses high-powered lasers to vaporize materials in the laser beam's path. The powering on and off of the laser beam, and the way in which the beam path is directed towards the substrate, controls how specific cuts are made to correspond with the artwork. The fact that the edges of cut-away parts are vaporized eliminates the hand labor or complicated extraction methods otherwise needed for small-part scrap removal.
These basic facts about laser cutting are as true today as they were when laser cutting systems were first put to practical industrial use in the 1980s. However, recent advances in laser cutting technology, especially those relating to the sophisticated software that underlies laser cutting controls, have created dramatic improvements in the type of outputs that can be expected from the machines. Today's lower-cost laser cutting systems made from less expensive components have far superior capabilities to the expensive systems that were offered only a few years ago. At the top end, state-of-the-art laser cutting systems are able to consistently cut far more intricate designs in a wider range of substrates and with tighter tolerances than ever before (Figure 1).
The challenge to those making investments in laser cutting technology is to source machines that are well-matched to application requirements. One can still find laser cutting systems in the marketplace that force compromises in quality or production output that should not be brooked in light of recent engineering advances in the technology. While those with more simple and straightforward application requirements may be better served by lower cost laser cutters, those who deal with intricate parts and variable graphics can turn to a new generation of highly capable machines that are fast, accurate, and easier to use than ever.
Here we will discuss how to match today's laser cutting technology to application requirements and offer insights into various features and capabilities of modern laser cutters. Of course, the first step to sourcing the right laser cutting technology is to determine if laser cutting capabilities are a good addition to your finishing department. Let's look at what laser cutting technology has to offer.

You'll Like The 2010 Chevrolet Camaro If...
If you want a great-looking car that expresses your personality without forcing you to take out a second mortgage on the declining value of your home, you have to like the Camaro. In SS form its performance-per-dollar ratio is outstanding as well.
You May Not Like The 2010 Chevrolet Camaro If...
If you have two kids who are older than toddlers the Camaro's minimalistic rear seat area might just be too tight for them
What's New
After a seven-year absence that to Chevy fans felt like a century, the Camaro is back and better than ever in just about every way you could imagine.
Interior Features
Frankly, the interior of the Camaro doesn't win as much applause as the truly striking exterior. Several of our colleagues complained about the large expanses of hard plastic, and we have to agree that we wish the dash were a bit more inviting. On the positive side, the key gauges are very readable; the steering wheel has a nice heft and feel and the action of the manual shifter is excellent. We're not fans of the placement of the optional gauges for oil pressure, oil temperature, volts and transmission fluid temperature low in the center console, because it is difficult to scan them quickly, but we do like that old-school touch. We also like the supportive and adjustable front seats, while the back seats are just as small and confining as you would expect.
Exterior Features
From where we sit the 2010 Camaro is a design tour de force. It is great looking from every angle, and it is definitely identifiable as a Camaro without drawing too heavily on designs from previous generations. While the front end with its bold grille immediately grabs your attention, our favorite portion of the design is the interface between the roof and the ultra-wide rear fenders. GM designers told us it was hard to accomplish this using factory stamping techniques, but in the end GM production engineers were able to make it happen. We also like the tail with its hooded classic Camaro taillamps.
Driving Impressions
While we had a chance to sample every level of the Camaro from the V6-powered LS to the 426-horsepower LS3 V8-equipped SS with its six-speed manual transmission, we have to admit that we spent most of our time in the SS. Power and torque are effortless and ever-present, making it an easy car to drive fast, and its 0-60-mph acceleration, aided by electronic launch control, is a more-than-respectable 4.4 seconds. But while you might expect excellent straight-line acceleration, you might not expect the sophisticated handling offered by its multi-link rear suspension, rack-and-pinion steering and substantial tires. Further, the handling is enhanced by the StabiliTrak electronic stability control system that incorporates anti-lock braking, traction control and an active braking system to control wheel slip. Old-school drivers might object, but electronic launch control reduces the level of skill required to get off the line quickly, while "Competitive/Sport" modes for the stability system allow turning off many of the electronic aids, for doing your own thing. And, you would not be wrong to opt for either the less-expensive 304-horsepower V6 version or the 400-horsepower L99 V8 with active fuel management and its six-speed automatic with paddle-activated shifting.
Pricing Notes
Deciding whether you want a V6- or V8-equipped version is the biggest question you must answer concerning the Camaro. The LS with V6 has a base price of right around $23,000, while the V8-equipped SS has a base price just north of $31,000, and options can take that into the mid-30s. As this is being written the car is so new to the market that a Fair Purchase Price that shows the typical transaction price does not yet exist, but we suggest you check to see if there is a NCBB Value before you set out to buy. The Camaro is expected to retain a better-than-average residual value in comparison to its American brand competitors, the Ford Mustang and the Dodge Challenger.
Notable Equipment
Perhaps the most notable standard item is the Camaro's good looks, and they are accompanied by a supple and responsive suspension that makes this the best handling, most comfortable Camaro of all time. Cloth-upholstered, four-way manually-adjusted driver seat and two-way-adjusted front passenger seat are standard. The 11.3 cubic feet of cargo capacity can be increased with the standard fold-down rear seat. All models include a three-spoke steering wheel with manual tilt/telescope adjustment, plus cruise control and rear defogger. The Camaro's standard entertainment system is a single-CD radio with six speakers, and it offers XM Satellite Radio. All models also include power door locks and express up-and-down windows. Standard safety technologies include front dual-stage airbags, front seat-mounted thorax side-impact airbags, head-curtain side-impact airbags for front- and rear-seat occupants, front-seat safety-belt load limiters and pretensioners and a front-passenger detection system that senses children and small-stature adults and suppresses airbag deployment when appropriate.
Notable Options
While the base Camaro with V6 engine is reasonably well-equipped, some judicious checking of option boxes can add up to a more comfortable while still reasonably priced car. We liked the optional heated, leather-trimmed seats with driver six-way power adjustment. On SS models, the seats feature a distinctive SS logo on the headrests with contrasting stitching, and an "Inferno Orange" interior trim package is also available with leather interiors. A leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob; redundant steering-wheel controls; Bluetooth and USB port are part of the available "Driver Convenience and Connectivity" package, which also includes remote start on automatic transmission-equipped vehicles, as well as an interface module for iPods and the like. The available premium audio system is by Boston Acoustics, with nine speakers and 245 booming watts. An optional short-throw Hurst shifter provides quick, concise shifting, and there are a variety of available wheel-tire packages, including 21-inch machined aluminum wheels.
Favorite Features
Great Exterior Styling
Certainly beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but we are of the opinion that the new Camaro looks like a car that could command a much higher price tag. The details like the grille, rear roof pillars and taillights are simply gorgeous.
All-Around Performance
Camaros of old were great in a straight line, but a lot less great around corners, especially if the road surface was uneven. With its multi-link rear suspension instead of a live axle, the new Camaro is much more at home in those challenging situations.
Under the Hood
The Camaro offers three engine choices - 304-horsepower 3.6-liter direct-injected V6, 400-horsepower 6.2-liter L99 V8 with active fuel management or 426-horsepower 6.2-liter LS3 V8. The V6 can be backed by either a six-speed manual or a six-speed automatic transmission. The L99 is accompanied by a six-speed automatic with paddle-activated driver shift control, while the LS3 has a six-speed manual.
3.6-liter V6
304 horsepower @ 6400 rpm
273 lb.-ft. of torque @ 5200 rpm
EPA city/highway fuel economy: 18/29 (automatic) 17/29 (manual)
6.2-liter V8 (L99)
400 horsepower @ 5900 rpm
410 lb.-ft. of torque @ 4300 rpm
EPA city/highway fuel economy: 16/25
6.2-liter V8 (LS3)
426 horsepower @ 5900 rpm
420 horsepower @ 4600 rpm
EPA city/highway fuel economy: 16/24
Editors' Notes
There are some who work in the halls of General Motors' newest partner, the federal government, who might find a V8-powered sports model like the Chevrolet Camaro the wrong car at the wrong time, but we believe consumers voting with their hard-earned dollars will feel otherwise. Whether in V8 trim or powered by the also-available V6, the 2010 Camaro is not just a car to be respected; it's a car to be celebrated. Not only does the new model evoke all the good emotions of an earlier time, it also should provide just those same kinds of emotions for new generations who remember the Camaro only as the noisy relic owned by the old guy at the end of the cul-de-sac. The 426-horsepower SS model certainly grabs the headlines, but the 304-horsepower V6-equipped LT offers significantly more performance than you might expect, while turning in laudable fuel efficiency.

What happens when good Excel formulas go bad? A workbook of mine that worked fine for several years, when using Excel 2003, suddenly refused to update all the formulas, after a switch to Excel 2010. Even more mysterious, the calculations worked fine on some machines, but not others. Why are Excel formulas not calculating on some computers?
Hint: It wasn't one of the obvious solutions.
Check for Automatic Calculation
When someone complains about Excel formulas not calculating , it's usually because the Calculation setting has been changed to Manual, instead of Automatic.
That can happen if the first workbook that you open in an Excel session was saved as Manual calculation. That setting affects all the other workbooks the you open during that session.
In this case, the workbook calculation was set to Automatic on all the machines – that's the first thing we checked.
To check the setting, click the Formulas tab on the Excel Ribbon, and click the Calculate Options drop down.
Or, go to the Excel Options window, and click Formulas.
Force the Calculation
Even if the Calculation option is set for Manual, you can use a Ribbon command or keyboard shortcut to force a calculation.
Click the Formulas tab on the Excel Ribbon, and click Calculate Now or Calculate Sheet.
n the tooltip that is shown in the screen shot below, you can see that the shortcut for Calculate Sheet is Shift + F9.
We tried using the Calculation shortcuts, including Ctrl + Alt + Shift + F9 (that one recalculates everything, and starts your car).
However, none of the shortcuts had any effect on the non-calculating cells in this workbook. I also tried a macro that did a full calculation, and that didn't work either. Sigh.
Kick Start the Formulas with VBA
Next I wrote a macro that replaced all the "=" signs at the start of all formulas in the workbook. This has a similar effect to manually selecting a cell, clicking in formula bar and pressing the Enter key, to recalculate the cell.
Sometimes that brings a tired formula back to life, but not in this case. These formulas weren't sleeping, they were deceased!
Change the Named Range in the Formula
I spent a considerable amount of time in Google, looking for other suggestions, but didn't find anything new. So, I kept tweaking and testing, going through the file one worksheet at a time.
Finally, I found the formulas that seemed to be causing the problem. They were SUMIF formulas that referred to a named range on another worksheet.
There was no obvious reason why that wouldn't work in Excel 2010, but I was getting desperate. So, I changed the named range to a worksheet reference, using cells on the same worksheet.
Miraculously, that solved the problem! I held my breath, while we tested on a few more machines, and everything calculated as it was supposed to.
Why that worked, I have no idea, but if you run into a similar problem, maybe it will help you too. Of course, this solution could stop working again, at the next lunar eclipse!
[Update] There is problem with SUMIF, SUMIFS, AVERAGEIF and AVERAGEIFS, in Excel 2010, when the references are on a different sheet. Thanks to Stuart Valentine, who posted a link to a discussion of this SUMIFS problem. My named range was on a different sheet, so the location was the problem.
Watch the Video
In most cases though, the problem is the Automatic Calculation setting.
To see the effects of opening Excel workbooks with different calculation option settings, watch this short Excel tutorial video.

Barcelona's Cesc Fabregas made a winning debut as a substitute
for Barcelona against Real Madrid in the Spanish Super Cup on
Wednesday, just three days after shifting from Arsenal.
The 24-year-old Spanish World Cup winner came on as a substitute for Pedro at the 82nd minute, just after Real had equalised at 2-2, but Lionel Messi grabbed a late volley to give the European champions a 5-4 aggregate triumph.
"I'm very pleased. It's a great start winning and with such positive sensations," Fabregas told Spanish state television as Barca's players paraded the trophy around the Nou Camp.
Cesc Fabregas came on for Pedro in the 82nd minute in his team's Super Cup match against Real Madrid Fabregas returned to the club he left in 2003 on Monday after one of the most drawn out transfer sagas in recent years, when he completed a move which could cost Barca up to 39 million euros ($56 million).
Having only won two trophies in his eight years with Arsenal, the 2004 league title and the 2005 FA Cup, Fabregas has now won his first piece of silverware in a Barca shirt after only three days. At the end of Wednesday night's game, Fabregas, who had not had much chance to contribute to the action, was hacked down by Marcelo near the two dugouts.
A huge touchline melee between the Barca and Real Madrid squads ended with Marcelo, his Real team mate Mesut Ozil and Barca's David Villa all being sent off.
"Football is very competitive, they are two of the biggest teams in the world, and the rivalry is great," he added with a shrug. "These are things that always happen in football."

Renowned researcher introduced environmental principles to archaeology
William T. Sanders, the late Evan Pugh Professor Emeritus of Archaeological Anthropology at Penn State University and a member of the National Academy of Sciences, was one of the first archaeologists to attempt to make the discipline of archaeology a true science through the development of theories and the formation of testable hypotheses about culture. His approach, known as cultural ecology, considered the biology of an area, subsistence patterns of the human population, demography, technological innovation and social organization as an interacting whole. He died July 2, 2008, in State College, Pa., of complications from a fall.
