S.C. showdown: What to watch
South Carolina's suspense-filled special election between Republican Mark Sanford and Democrat Elizabeth Colbert Busch comes to a close Tuesday — and it's anyone's guess how it will end.
Will enough Republicans hold their noses and vote for Sanford, despite their misgivings about his personal conduct, to put him over the top? Or are there enough energized Democrats in the heavily GOP district to carry the day for Colbert Busch?
Story Continued Below
Colbert Busch seemed to be in the driver's seat a week ago, but the late momentum has been with Sanford. The race is now so close — a weekend survey by the respected Democratic firm Public Policy Polling had Sanford up by a single point — that a recount isn't out of the question.
Who ultimately ends up on top will come down to a handful of factors. Here are POLITICO's five things to watch in South Carolina's 1st Congressional District, where polls close at 7 p.m.
( QUIZ: How well do you know Colbert Busch?)
1. Black voters
For Colbert Busch to pull off an upset, she needs black voters, who make up around 20 percent of the electorate and comprise a large portion of the district's Democratic base, to come out in droves. That helps explain why she spent part of Sunday campaigning with South Carolina Rep. Jim Clyburn, the highest-ranking black House member.
Democrats say Colbert Busch will need to win at least 90 percent of the black vote, and the party is aggressively targeting African-Americans in Charleston County.
But Sanford is doing everything he can to keep Colbert Busch from running up the score. Last week, the former governor spent more than 25 minutes at a forum sponsored by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People — not your typical campaign stop for a Republican hopeful. Sanford, who captured 22 percent of the black vote during his 2006 gubernatorial reelection campaign, highlighted the work he had done with the African-American community during his tenure in office.
( QUIZ: How well do you know Sanford?)
The Public Policy Polling survey suggests that Sanford's offensive is paying dividends — it had Colbert Busch notching 79 percent of the black vote.
2. The enthusiasm quotient
There's little doubt South Carolina Democrats are fired up about this race — volunteers have been pouring into Colbert Busch's campaign offices, eager to elect one of their own in a Republican stronghold. Her supporters dominated the audience at a debate last week.
Colbert Busch needs all the enthusiasm she can muster, given the district's conservative tilt; Mitt Romney won it by 18 percentage points.
"The Democratic base is energized in a way I've never seen before," said Jaime Harrison, the South Carolina Democratic Party chairman. "We will have very strong Democratic turnout."
( Also on POLITICO: Poll: Sanford 47, Colbert Busch 46)
Republicans, meanwhile, have to hope that their voters put aside their qualms with Sanford and head to the polls.
"Will [GOP turnout] be what we've seen in other elections or will it be depressed because they're unhappy with Gov. Sanford and his past history?" said Republican state Sen. Tom Davis, a Sanford ally. "She has to hope for those who vote for Republicans not turning out."
Turnout north of 28 percent would be seen as high — and a sign that Republican voters are heading to the polls despite their reservations about voting for Sanford. Anything lower than that would suggest Sanford is struggling and point to a good night for Colbert Busch.
3. Republican women
About 60 percent of the electorate will be comprised by self-identified Republicans. Just like Sanford needs a slice of black voters, the same is true with Colbert Busch and Republicans: If she can win 20 percent of GOP voters, Democrats say, it's game over.

Installing Vector Linux 5
Written in Emacs
Installing Vector 5
Installing OSs with gore series
Intro :
I wrote a tutorial a while back for Installing Vector Linux, and though it wasn't very popular, Vector has become that way. A lot of people are very dedicated Vector users now and with this new release from Vector where the installation has been changed a bit, and my OS paper becoming huge I decided I should probably write one that has updated information.
Vector Linux is based on Slackware Linux. Slackware is older than all other Linux distros EXCEPT SUSE.
So what kind of machine can Vector run on?
Vector can run on just about any machine you'll have lying sround EXCEPT 486s. Vector was made to run on Pentium minimum machines. And it does it very well, it's a fast distro and only has ONE CD for installation which is kind of nice you won't have to change CDs during installation.
I've been using Vector here and there since 4.X and I do like it. It gets my gore stamp of approval.
The machine I'm installing on is my laptop and it's going to dual boot with XP. If you need to only install Vector don't worry, you just won't do the Windows part.
Starting the installation :
Start off with a Vector Linux CD-ROM. You can download it for free here:
I'm going to do this installation on the Standard version. They have a SOHO version for people interested in using it for a "Small Office / Home Office" setting, and it's geared towards that area, and it needs more processing power and RAM.
That link is where I downloaded my copy at.
I posted that link in case you're lazy.
Anyway, on with the show:
Burn the installation ISO to CD and pop it in your machine, and reboot.
When you see the computer boot up, it's going to show the Vector screen which has changed from the last installation.
For people using SCSI:
As soon as you see the Vector start up screen, hit F1 on your keyboard as that takes you to the Kernel selection screen.
From here, you can type which Kernel you want to use.
If you need SCSI support, type scsi here. The Adaptec Kernel is here too if you need it. You can skip this step of course and just hit Enter to use the normal Kernel but for the SCSI using people, I'm doing this extra step.
So if you do NOT need SCSI support, just hit ENTER.
After a short time, you'll look at a blue and black and red screen saying Welcome to Vector Linux. At this point, hit Enter.
You'll now be looking at a screen right out of the Free BSD installation.
Press the DOWN arrow key one time and hit Enter to find the Media.
It says it found a CD-ROM in one of your drives, and you can pretty much hit Enter here unless it isn't the right drive for some reason.
After you have hit ENTER the you see the partition screen. Before it confuses you, press the DOWN arrow key TWO times to highlight "FDISK" and hit Enter.
You'll see the HDs in your computer, and unless you have more than one, you'll only see one drive, so hit Enter.
After you've hit Enter, you'll be looking at the CFDISK screen. This is one of the best Partition tools ever. It uses almost no RAM and it's efficient.
Now, I'm dual booting this with Windows XP, so my laptop says this:
Name Flags Part type FS type Label Size (MB)
hdc1 Primary NTFS [^A] 10766.90
hdc5 Logical Linux Swap 1061.07
hdc6 Logical Linux 18177.87
Now as you can see I already have Partitions for Linux on here and you probably don't. So I'm going to delete them so I can walk you through creating them.
Use the UP DOWN LEFT And RIGHT arrow keys to Naviate commands. Up and Down navigate Partitions.
After deleting all Partitions except the NTFS Windows XP partition, I have that and free space.
Hit the RIGHT arrow key to highlight New and hit Enter. This is going to be the Swap Partition, and I'm making mine 1024 MBs. It asks you for what type you want, Just hit Enter for "Primary" as it's already selected anyway and that's what you'll need.
After that type in how many MBs you want the partition to be, A good rule is "Twice your RAM". So if you have 512 MBs RAM, 1024 works well. After you type it in hit the ENTER key, and then hit it Again to put it at the beginning of the partition space.
After you've done that, hit the Right Arrow key 6 times, to highliught TYPE and hit Enter.
Then Hit ENTER again and then AGAIN.
You've now created the Swap partition.
Now hit the DOWN arrow key once to highlight the free space, then hit the RIGHT arrow key to select New, and Hit Enter.
Then hit Enter again to select Primary. Then hit Enter to have it use the rest of the HD (Remember it's not touching your Windows partition it's just using the rest of the drive.)
Now you're looking at the partitions you've made. Hit Enter to make the last one we made Bootable.
Hit the Up arrow key twice to highlight the NTFS or FAT Partition you have for Windows, and Hit Enter again to make it Bootable.
Hit the RIGHT arrow key 8 times to highlight "Write" and hit Enter. It's going to ask you yes or no, type yes and hit Enter.
It's wrotes the partition table and then you can hit the RIGHT arrow key 5 times to highlight "Quit" and Hit Enter.
This next screen you come to is quite confusing for newbies. But at least it's funny.
Hit Enter and you're machine reboots to Add the new partitions to the disk.
Now you're somewhat starting over again but this time you do it different. Hit Enter unless you had to select SCSI, but when you have the Kernel you need like you did at the beginning (Not sure why they don't change this installation so you don't have to do it wice but for now this is how it is).
After you've hit Enter at the Kernel selection, you see it boot up again.
When you see that screen again saying to press Enter, press Enter.
Press the DOWN arrow key once and Hit Enter.
It checks again to make sure you have the CD-ROM in.
You now press Enter.
You remember this screen don't you? You saw it 5 minutes ago.
Well this time you have the partitions ready to roll, so press the DOWN arrow key 3 times and hit Enter.
Press the DOWN arrow key Two times, and Hit Enter to select SWAP. Press Enter here.
Now you're at the Root partition screen.
Press the DOWN arrow key ONE time and press Enter (If you followed my partition scheme above this is the only one showing up anyway.)
Now you're ready to select the File System for Linux to use.
You can select whatever you want here. If you're not sure, Just press Enter as REISERFS is selected by default, and is a very good File System.
Why does Linux have so many File Systems? Here is a small run down:
Ext2 is the oldschool file system. It's very stable but doesn't journal so if it crashes for some reason you can have problems.
This is the journaling version of Ext2, meaning if the system crashes it can start up quciker without much loss. This is assuming the power goes out and the system isn't properly turned off.
Same as the above system but much faster and better.
After you've read over what File System you want to use, press Enter to grab it.
You've pressed Enter and now you see a screen showing you packages. Just press ENTER here.
Now you're going to add additional packages.
UP and DOWN arrow keys highlight packages, and SPACEBAR to tell it you want them.
After you have packages selected, Press ENTER.
You're now at a confirm screen, just press ENTER.
As the screen says, I'm leaving to go smoke.
Now the install is finished. It took 4 minutes to install everything on my laptop. And now you have to select where you want to put the loader for Linux.
A brief run down is in order here because some people may not be sure. If you're using Partition Magic or the boot loader it comes with, you're probably not going to want to put this on the MBR as this overwrites the Partition Magic boot loader and any other boot loader you may be using.
If you had only Windows on your system, you have TWO choices:
If you choose floppy it's going to ask for a floppy and Linux won't boot without.
I'm choosing MBR so I just hit Enter.
Now you're at the screen showing which OSs you have on your system.
My screen looks like this:
[X] windows Windows
[X] linux Linux
[X] linux-tui Linux Text Mode
[X] linux gui Linux Graphic mode
[X] 2.6.12 Linux 2.6.12
[X] sata-2.4.29 Linux sata-2.4.29
Just Hit Enter here.
Now you can choose how you want it to look at boot up.
If you're installing on crap hardware or old hardware, hit ENTER to select the safe choice. If you have decent hardware, Press the DOWN arrow key 3 times to select the 1024X768 option.
Press ENTER.
Now is something "technical".... Not really but it could confuse newbs.
This is where you can tell the Kernel something at boot. If you have an IDE-CD-Writer drive, (Which you probably do if your machine has a burner) you can use it by typeing this:
Just type that on this screen and hit Enter if you want to use your burner.
If you don't, press Enter either way.
Now you're at a configuration screen so press ENTER.
Press ENTER again.
Now you select your time zone. And since I'm living down in Southeast Michigan, I scroll down at Detroit WAY down the list.
Hit ENTER.
Configuring your mouse:
Does your mouse have a wheel? My laptop's pad does NOT, but i have a USB Mouse that has one.
When you have the mouse you want, press ENTER.
The modem configuration is next and I don't have one, so I skipped it.
The next one is for Network Hostname. Unless you're on a Network, you can pretty much put whatever you want here. The default is fine also.
Press Enter.
Now you select how to get an IP. I have a Router that assigns IP addresses for me and it uses DHCP, so I just press ENTER here.
Now the ALSA screen comes up. Press ENTER.
It finds your sound card if you have one, and you press ENTER.
Now ALSA is configured and yo can later on, turn the sound up, for now PRess the Enter key.
Now X is going to probe for hardware.
This part I'm NOT walking you through, I have no clue what hardware you have on your system and it's almost damn near impossible to guess what you're going to have.
When you get passed this, you come to the part to configure other things on your system.
Do NOT mess with these unless you're sure of what you're going to do.
Press ENTER.
Now you configure users and passwords.
Now you set a root password. Press ENTER.
Type a Root password and hit Enter. It asks for it again so type it again and hit ENTER.
Now Hit ENTER again to add a user account for yourself.
HEre I type gore and hit ENTER.
Then hit ENTER again as Gore is fine for a name.
Hit ENTER again at the next screen. And then at the next screen you can safely hit ENTER again.
Now, hit ENTER again. Now type another password for the user account you're making. Hit ENTER and type the password again, then hit ENTER again, and then hit ENTER again.
You're done. Remove the CD-ROM and press ENTER.

InSet 3 Tapered Headset with Griplock
Chris King is a smart guy. Firstly, he invented the sealed bearing headset that would become the industry standard for excellence. Secondly, he listened to the industry when it shouted out loud that bearings could be inside the head tube if one wanted them there. This Chris King InSet 3 Tapered Headset w/ GripLock is evidence that even when you don't want to do something, you can still do it with style and grace when you need to.
This isn't a full InSet headset -- it's what Chris King calls a "Mixed Tapered" headset. It has a 1-1/8" InSet (semi-integrated) upper cup and an external (traditional) 1.5" lower cup. The 1.5" lower bearing assembly is plenty strong and extremely durable -- it's not going to get notchy or disintegrate any time soon. The external lower is also good because if you have a favorite fork that happens to have a 1-1/8" steerer you can still install it, albeit with a reducer base plate.
Chris King's GripLock upper bearing cap uses a new compression design. This assembly replaces the older style, one-piece bearing cap that contained the O-ring. Instead, GripLock uses a split compression ring to center the steerer tube in the upper bearing, and when you preload the assembly, the split ring provides additional surface area against the steerer for a more secure and safer interface, especially on carbon fiber steerer tubes. The upper bearing assembly is super clean-looking because of its low profile. It also allows the frame designers the ability to increase the headtube length without raising the handlebar height. A longer headtube allows for greater steerer support and more surface area for the top and down tubes, both things that make the bike stronger as a whole.
The Chris King InSet 3 Tapered HeadSet comes with King's regular 10-year warranty. It's available in Black, Navy, Red, and Silver. It fits frames with tapered 1-1/8 to 1.5" (44 to 49mm ID) head tubes and forks that have a tapered 1-1/8 to 1.5" steerer. It can be used with straight 1-1/8" forks with a reducer base plate (sold separately).
- Tapered headset combines durability and performance
- Threadless design for a cleaner interface
- GripLock compression ring assembly improves upper bearing grip
- Aluminum cups and caps are anodized and sleek
- Stainless steel bearings for unparalleled durability
- Extended length provides improved steerer support

Bow to the King!
Great upgrade from any other headset you have. There is a noticeable difference in the smoothness of the steering when you go with the King. The manufacturing quality reeks of precision and the fitment is spot on!
The king
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
If you want the best headset then this is the one. Nothing feels as good as a Chris King.
Perfect Headset
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
The last headset you will ever need. Super smooth and maintenance free. Lots of sizes to choose from to fit any bike.
Clearly the best headset available.
Chris King hands down makes the best headsets on the market. I got the turquoise and it looks so good on my bike! High craftsmanship and quality as well as super attractive. All you can really ask for from a headset. 5/5 would buy again.
The Last Headset you need
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
The gold standard in components. Install it and forget about it, because you'll never need to buy another headset for your bike.
King of the Hill
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Chris King's reputation is spotless, and when it comes to putting a headset on your bike, there is one creme of the crop choice. Precision made with some of the best bearings will make this headset last for years. Don't cut corners on your new mountain bike, go with a King.
Bomb proof
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Ultra-strong CNC'd aluminum cups and high quality bearings make the C.K. Inset 3 a no-brainer. Simple maintenance and backed by a 10 year warranty.
Chris King InSet 3 Tapered Headset
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I put one of these on my Tracer. Bombproof, smooth, and precise. The quality is unbeatable.
It comes in red!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Both of my mountain bikes have King headsets. They make all the differet variants you could ever need, they always work, they never need any maintenance, and most importantly it comes in red.
Do you ever offer the King headsets in other colors, or can they be special ordered?
Chris king w/ K-Edge Stem Mount
works great!
SMOOOOOTH and STRONG!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I have had several Chris King products and have never had an issue with them. I feel it is totally worth worth upgrading from a Cane Creek. They are bomb proof.
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I picked this up for my Nomad build because I'm no stranger to the precision, smooth feel and easy serviceability of Chris King Headsets (and BB's for that matter). I couldn't be happier with it.
Durable and Colorful
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
King headsets are awesome. I use them on all my bikes and am still using the first King headset I installed almost twenty years ago. The durability and color options set them above any other manufacturer. Buy it, ride it, admire it for life.
Chris King tapered Headset
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Hard to beat the king. Works great, light weight. What else is there ? CaneCreek is the only other possibility.
Chris King...what else needs to be said?
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Got this for my Ibis Mojo HDR 650b. The quality and precision of the headset are legendary in the bike industry, and it certainly shows in the headset here. I loved how tight the tolerances are on the headset, and the peace of mind in knowing it won't creak or loosen is a huge relief.
Bearing quality is some of the best in the industry, and plus I like the polished silver look of the headset, gives my bike a bit of bling.
Chris King Inset-3
The workmanship on the Chris King Inset 3 exceeded my expectations. It had precise machining, high quality surface finish with a "deep penetrating" red anodize and sharply defined white nomenclature. Good instructions followed by a flawless installation on my carbon frame.
No doubt, my next headset will be a Chris King set.
Chris King IS the Headset King
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Its a no brainer, Chris King has set the standard in the industry. My attitude is to get the best value for my money. Believe me, I looked for the best price and found it here. I buy quality so I don't have to look to replace something that will fail, paying again and again for the same part. Buy the best, and forget it.

So you know the quality and craftsmanship is phenomenal. The best part of this headset is the low profile top bearing. This helps keep the height of the front end down which allows for a greater adjustability of the saddle to handlebar drop. That is important with those longer travel forks and 29ers.

Population for Niger : Worldwide Travel Information World Countries > Population > Niger
Population for Niger : Worldwide Travel Information World Countries > Population > Niger
Countries by Population: Niger (Niger)
Niger is a landlocked country in Western Africa, named after the Niger River.
It borders Nigeria and Benin to the south, Burkina Faso and Mali to the west, Algeria and Libya to the north and Chad to the east. Niger covers a land area of almost 1,270,000 km2, making it the largest nation in West Africa, with over 80 percent of its land area covered by the Sahara desert. The country's predominantly Islamic population of just above 15,000,000 is mostly clustered in the far south and west of the nation. The capital city is Niamey, located in the far southwest corner of Niger.
Niger is a developing country, and consistently ranks as one of the lowest ranks of the United Nations' Human Development Index (HDI), 186th of 187 countries in 2011. Much of the non-desert portions of the country are threatened by periodic drought and desertification. The economy is concentrated around subsistence and some export agriculture clustered in the more fertile south, and the export of raw materials, especially uranium ore. Niger remains handicapped by its landlocked position, desert terrain, poor education and poverty of its people, lack of infrastructure, poor health care, and environmental degradation.
Nigerien society reflects a diversity drawn from the long independent histories of its several ethnic groups and regions and their relatively short period living in a single state. Historically, what is now Niger has been on the fringes of several large states.
Since independence, Nigeriens have lived under five constitutions and three periods of military rule. Following a military coup in 2010, Niger has now become a democratic, multi-party state. A majority live in rural areas, and have little access to advanced education.

Coastal America –JASON Project, July 20 Webcast
This is to announce the joint Coastal America-JASON webcast at Coastal Zone2011. http://www.jason.org/science/live/coastal2/event.aspx. The biennial CZ conferences have always been a great opportunity to trade ideas on what works and what does not work in coastal zone management. This joint endeavor is an effort to capitalize on the CZ conference itself as a tool to generate interest and concern for our oceans and coasts among the general public and to translate that into action through the Coastal America Learning Center Network. This production is also an opportunity to help educate the public about what the National Ocean Policy means for our country. For more information, see www.coastalamerica.gov.

Haskell Small to play at All Saints
World-renowned pianist and composer Haskell Small, hailed by England's Musical Timesfor his "dazzlingly prodigious technique" and heralded by The Washington Post for his "technical prowess," will be performing Sunday, April 13, at 6 p.m. at All Saints Episcopal School, 4108 Delaware St. in Beaumont.
Admission to the concert is free, but donations are accepted.
Small is chair of the piano department at Washington Conservatory of Music in Washington D.C., and has played at concert halls all over the world including major European capitals, South America, Japan and China, and in such American venues as Carnegie Hall, the Kennedy Center, and the Spoleto Festival USA.
Small described playing at the Carnegie Hall, the world's most famous concert hall, as both terrifying and wonderful.
"With the acclaimed acoustics there, it was pretty amazing to be able to just touch the keys," Small said in an interview with The Examiner.
Small — who has received numerous awards and has been featured in the nationally broadcast PBS Special A Celebration of the Piano — is fascinated with music that is primarily quiet, spacious and of a mystical nature. He has recorded a number of CDs, among them Federico Mompou's Musica Callada, for MSR Classics, a Gershwin disc for Centaur, a children's CD with narrator Robert Aubry Davis for Ongaku, and a disk of his smaller chamber works and Bach's Goldberg Variations, both for 4Tay. He is currently preparing a recording of the Bach Partitas and also a new disc of his piano solo music.
His newest release, The Rothko Room: Journeys in Silence,is in one continuous movement, but falls into four distinct parts, loosely paralleling the four paintings in the Phillips Collection's Rothko room, while offering a musical narrative of painter Mark Rothko's life journey. Rothko was one of the most famous postwar American artists and is generally identified as an abstract expressionist (emphasis on spontaneous, automatic or subconscious creation).
"I became passionate about Rothko early on," Small said. "When I wandered into the Tate (Gallery) in London … and I saw the red series of Rothko and was blown away by the liveliness of these pieces, I saw … pure animation migrating off the canvas."
Small said after falling in love with Rothko's paintings, he felt like he needed to write music that accomplished two goals.
"To attempt to paint in sound, to … mimic the experience of the contemplative, meditative aspect of Rothko. … And at the same time, to create a musical narrative of Rothko's life. He was a fascinating man. The music attempts to show the different periods of his life — his exuberance, his mysticism, and ultimately his death," Small said.
Small has played the piano since he was a young boy, following in the footsteps of his mother, who was trained as both a classical and jazz pianist.
"I grew up mostly playing by ear and frustrating several … teachers trying to learn classical, which I just wasn't interested in early on in my life," he said. "Even though there isn't a convention expecting pianists to play music by memory, I would do it anyway even though it terrifies me. By really working hard as hell, I managed to be able to play pieces … to really learn the material to where it is part of me."
It was later in his life that Small fell in love with the music of famous 18th- and 19th-century composers such as Bach, Beethoven and Mozart, and began to enjoy impressionist pieces.
"I discovered the Pathétique Sonata (Piano Sonata No. 8) of Beethoven," Small said, "which to me was a dramatic, eye-opening experience. Several other pieces caught my interest, and I couldn't get enough of it ever since."
Small did not limit the musical styles that have molded his work to classical music only, however, citing the Beatles and Jimi Hendrix as major influences as well.
"I've weaved my esoteric style from a combination of things," he said.
Small is also an accomplished composer, often performing his own works. He has received commissions from such organizations as the Washington Ballet and the Paul Hill Chorale, and he was the winner of the 1999 Marin Ballet Dance Score Competition.
In 2007, the noted pianist Soheil Nasseri commissioned Small to write Lullaby of War, a setting of six war poems that has since been performed in New York, Washington, and several cities in Germany and Poland.
"I had always felt in my hippie days an idealistic feeling against war, and I've always been passionate about wanting to make a statement about this artistically," Small said. "I had been thinking of an idea that was like a prayer, and that led me to the idea of kind of a prayer for peace or a prayer a soldier would have on the battlefield. I put all this together and decided that if I had some specific poetry, this would help to inspire more specific ideas of music. I recalled the poem 'War is Kind' by Stephen Crane, and this was just perfect. It is the most sardonic statement about war ever made. The notion of 'how can war be kind' is an impossible thought to comprehend. It was the perfect inspiration for what I wanted to create."
Small said it is important for people who are caught in the everyday grind of repetition (going to work and school, running errands, fighting traffic, among other necessary tasks) to slow down every once in a while and enjoy the finer things in life such as classical music and the arts.
"I believe it opens windows to parts of us … that we don't have time for," he said. "There is so much going on inside of each of us. Slow down, smell the roses and experience whole new worlds of the interior."
Southeast Texans are offered the opportunity to slow down Palm Sunday, April 13, and discover their inner self through Small's beautiful piano music.
"This specific music is very spiritual and meditative," Small said. "The experience of listening inwardly, letting down and being willing to think actively to participate. The music that I am playing is not the type of music people normally associate with a piano concert. What I'd like for the audience to get from it is … to get a taste of the eternal. Music, in my mind — it's purpose, it's mission, it's meaning — is to transport us somewhere we can't be in everyday life."

Worldwide Travel Information (areaflag) World Countries > Asia > Uzbekistan
UzbekistanUzbekistan is the only doubly landlocked country in Central Asia and one of only two such countries worldwide. It shares borders with Kazakhstan to the west and to the north, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan to the east, and Afghanistan and Turkmenistan to the south. Before 1991 it was part of the Soviet Union.
Once part of the Persian Samanid and later Timurid empire , the region was conquered in the early 16th century by nomads who spoke an Eastern Turkic language. Most of Uzbekistan's population today belong to the Uzbek ethnic group and speak the Uzbek language, one of the family of Turkic languages. Uzbekistan was incorporated into the Russian Empire in the 19th century, and in 1924 became a constituent republic of the Soviet Union, known as the Uzbek Soviet Socialist Republic (Uzbek SSR). It became independent on 31 August 1991 (officially, from the following day).
Uzbekistan's economy relies mainly on commodity production, including cotton gold uranium and natural gas Despite the declared objective of transition to a market economy, Uzbekistan continues to maintain rigid economic controls, which often repel foreign investors. The policy of gradual, strictly controlled transition to the market economy has nevertheless produced beneficial results in the form of economic recovery after 1995 Uzbekistan's domestic policies on human rights and individual freedoms have been criticised by some international organizations.

JOINT BASE LEWIS-MCCHORD, Wash. - Defense lawyers Monday tried to introduce evidence that an Army sergeant charged with the premeditated killing of five fellow service members in Iraq may have had brain abnormalities.
A military judge heard testimony from an expert who said Sgt. John Russell had "significant abnormalities" in his brain structure and function. Dr. Ruben Gur said says the abnormalities indicate Russell could have had difficulty regulating emotions.
But experts called by the government suggested Russell's brain is normal. Capt. Durward Johnson, an Army prosecutor, said the brain examinations cited by the defense weren't pertinent to the case because they were conducted nearly four years after the killings, and the results were compared to the brains of younger people who weren't on medication.
"It doesn't fit," Johnson said.
The judge, Col. David Conn, did not immediately rule whether the testing would be allowed in the court-martial.
Russell has already pleaded guilty to the 2009 killings but does not agree they were premeditated. Prosecutors are trying to prove that Russell plotted the shootings in advance.
The previous plea agreement means Russell will avoid the death sentence. His maximum sentence would be a life term.
The shooting was one of the worst instances of soldier-on-soldier violence in the Iraq war and raised questions about the mental health problems for soldiers caused by repeated tours of duty.
Russell, who is from Sherman, Texas, is being held at Joint Base Lewis-McChord, about 40 miles south of Seattle.
A hearing on possible charges was held in August 2009 at Fort Leavenworth, Kan. Two evaluations presented during that hearing said Russell suffered from severe depression with psychotic features and chronic post-traumatic stress disorder. A March 2011 evaluation said the major depression with psychotic features was in partial remission.
Russell was nearing the end of his third tour when his behavior changed, members of his unit testified in 2009. They said he became more distant in the days before the May 11, 2009, attack, and that he seemed paranoid that his unit was trying to end his career.
On May 8, Russell sought help at a combat stress clinic at Camp Stryker, where his unit was located. On May 10, Russell was referred to the Camp Liberty clinic, where he received counseling and prescription medication.
Witnesses said they saw Russell the following day crying and talking about hurting himself. He went back to the Camp Liberty clinic, where a doctor told him he needed to get help or he would hurt himself. Russell tried to surrender to military police to lock him up so he wouldn't hurt himself or others, witnesses said.
Military prosecutors say Russell left the clinic and later returned with a rifle he took from his unit headquarters and began firing.
The shooting killed Navy Cmdr. Charles Springle, of North Carolina; Pfc. Michael Edward Yates Jr., of Maryland; Dr. Matthew Houseal, of Texas; Sgt. Christian Bueno-Galdos, of New Jersey; and Spc. Jacob Barton, of Missouri.

In Chile, the company said it is exploring several concessions with a potential capacity exceeding 100MW.
Enel did not specify its plans in Mexico, but has previously said it intends to add around 200MW of wind capacity in the country before 2016.
As Enel's home market of Italy continued to flounder, the company announced a long term plans in 2012 to target wind opportunities in Brazil, Chile and Mexico.
The firm said it would invest roughly €6.1 billion to add 4.5GW of new capacity, 38% of which should come from emerging markets between 2012 and 2016.
In wind energy — which will account for 57% of all investments in the period — this means projects in Brazil, Chile, Mexico and Morocco.
On top of this, the company has identified the potential for the development of 1GW of wind projects in Peru, with Columbia also on Enel's radar.
Enel recently connected Talinay and Valle de los Ventos wind farms, both with an installed capacity of 90MW, tot the grid in Chile and it is constructing Taltal, its biggest wind farm in the country at 99MW.
In Mexico, Enel currently has an installed wind capacity of 144MW.

The first qualifying tagged red in the CCA STAR tourney
Sabine angler catches 8 pound, 1 ounce trout to take second place in CCA STAR tourney
The very popular CCA STAR tournament is in full swing, and already there are some pretty impressive catches being brought to the scales. The heaviest trout in the Upper Coast Division is going to be tough to beat. She weighed 8 pounds, 8 ounces and was caught on the Galveston Bay complex. But get this: The second heaviest trout on the upper coast weighed 8 pounds, one ounce and came from Sabine Lake. It was weighed at the SGS Cuaseway and caught by Corey Frank.
Gina Rice, director of operations for CCA/STAR, said they know of 10 tagged redfish caught so far, but only one winner has been confirmed. That means there are still four truck/boat packages and five boat packages remaining in the Texas Ford Dealers Redfish Division and 50 tagged redfish still out there waiting to be caught.
The first qualifying red was caught on June 4 at the Indianola Fishing Marina near Port Lavaca.
The heaviest king mackerel in the STAR tourney weighed 55-7; the leading dorado weighed 40-13. The number one ling is a whopper and will be tough to beat at 84 pounds.
Let your kids brag about their huge catch—and have the state record to prove it
Getting credit for catching a record fish in Texas is easier than you might think, especially if you're a youngster.
Better still from a conservation standpoint, you can hang a nice Texas Parks and Wildlife certificate on your wall instead of a mounted trophy.
"With school out and plenty of time for fishing, the department would like parents to know the chances of their kid becoming a record holder are really good," said Joedy Gray, who runs TPWD's Angler Recognition Program. "The odds are in a young angler's favor because there are a lot of bodies of water in Texas for which no one has applied for a record yet."
Junior anglers under the age of 17 are encouraged to set records in fishing holes around the state this summer. In areas where there is no existing record, fish must be at least the legal size. To record the fish, remember to find a certified scale location and have a measuring tape handy. For a list of locations with certified scales, visit the TPWD site at www.tpwd.state.tx.us/fishboat/fish/programs/fishrecords/scales.phtml.
If you are unsure of your fishing hole's records, look them up on your phone with the program's mobile record search at tinyurl.com/texfish.

The ABC's of wading the surf for trout and reds
Top five baits in the surf
1 – Silver spoon.
2 – Topwater lure like a Super Spook or Top Dog.
3 – Soft plastic jig.
4 – Live shrimp under a cork.
5 – Live mullet on bottom for reds.

When the surf around the Sabine jetties is clean and green to the beach wade fishing can be an excellent option from now until the first cold fronts of September begin moving through.
Wading the surf is like walking into outer space – you never know what to expect. Every trip out is a new angling adventure. And from about now through the end of September, this is an excellent option that doesn't require a boat. Better yet, the surf fishing options on the Southeast Texas coast are wide open from the Sabine jetties to Galveston.
One of the best quick hit surf wading options out of Sabine can be found at the newly reopened Sea Rim State Park. To reach this stretch of sand and surf, simply drive to the town of Sabine, turn right at the four way stop and travel about 7 miles. The park will be on your left. Pay your entry fee, park and start fishing.
Another surf fishing option out of Sabine is just across the border in Louisiana. What you want to do is cross the causeway bridge and travel about three to four miles until you see a sign on the right that leads you to beach access. This is some of the best and most remote surf fishing on the right side of Texas. But entry comes with a price – loose sand and lots of it. The best way to fish this section of sand and surf is with a four-wheel drive vehicle or four wheeler. The drill is simple. If the water is green to the beach, cruise the sand until you see birds or baitfish.
Another way to fish the surf around the Sabine jetties is to access it with a boat. On a calm day, you can anchor the boat on the second sand bar and wade for miles. It's not unusual to catch trout upwards of 7 pounds right about now in the Louisiana surf just east of the Sabine jetties.
Another very good and popular surf fishing beach is along Bolivar Peninsula. To reach the peninsula, head south on Highway 127 from Winnie until you run out of road. It will dead end at the Gulf of Mexico. From there, you can head east or west. If you go east, there is no road, and it is four-wheel drive real estate. If you head west, you'll have a paved road all the way to the Galveston ferry. What a lot of anglers do on Bolivar Peninsula is find a cut off Highway 87 and run the beach looking for birds and bait fish.
The Bolivar Pocket is located at the base of the East Galveston jetty. This is not technically surf, but it's a very good area to wade fish. The shallow flat on the east side of the jetty is shallow and goes forever. If you can catch the water right, it's a great place to catch trout, reds and flounder.
Wading the surf is easy once you figure out how it's done. First you've got to be dressed right. Wading booties are a must. The high-top boots will keep sand and shell off your feet. A pair of long pants and a long sleeve shirt will keep the jellyfish from stinging you. Needless to say, a hat is a must. The best, if you can still find one, is the old Styrofoam pith helmet. It not only keeps the sun off your head but also holds a lot of lures.
Other gear that will complete your wade fishing experience in the surf is a good belt that'll hold a pair of pliers and a stringer. Besides a good rod and reel, that's about it.
The key to being successful in the surf is to hit it right. By that I mean hitting the beach when the water is clean and green. For that to happen, you'll need a light wind, preferably a variable wind out of the north or southeast.
A variety of lures will work in the surf. Regardless of what you tie on, the best time to wade into the surf is at first light. That's when the topwater bite will be the most consistent.
There is good news and bad news associated with wading the surf. The good news is that it's a quick hit option for catching a stringer of trout. The bad news is that your fish are on a stringer that is attached to you. And sharks definitely like to take advantage of an easy meal. That's why it's always best to wade with a long stringer and keep the fish on that stringer away from your torso.
The number one thing to keep in mind is to play it safe and wear a life jacket. Over the years a lot of fishermen have drowned while wading the surf. In most of those situations strong currents were a key factor. A speckled trout is definitely not worth risking your life for.

Thorax, Abdomen, Pelvis
Anatomical parts
Images from the National Library of Medicine's Visible Human Project®
This module presents the anatomy of the whole human body based on cross-sectional photographs of a male cadaver. 1300 anatomical structures have been labeled on 463 photographs of axial cross-sections. This atlas is based on the Visible Human Project ran by the U.S. National Library of Medicine (NLM) under the direction of Michael J. Ackerman.
The male cadaver is from Joseph Paul Jernigan, a 38-year-old Texas murderer who was executed by lethal injection on August 5, 1993.
The male cadaver was encased and frozen in a mixture of gelatin and water in order to stabilize the specimen for cutting. The specimen was then "cut" in the axial plane at 1 millimetre intervals. Each of the resulting 1,871 "slices" was photographed in both analogue and digital, yielding 15 gigabytes of data.
In order to provide an application designed for the web, we have reduced the number of slices (463) and the images resolution (640X368 pixels). We have also removed the frozen water around the body.
Furthermore, we have chosen to redirect the slices by rotation and horizontal symmetry, in order to give an axis similar to a CT-scan (and not the standard anatomical axis, which reverses the right and left sides). Original pictures show the body in procubitus with a cranial view. The images presented in this module are therefore "false" because we now have to imagine the patient on decubitus, with a caudal view, which does not match the original cut of the body.
Freezing caused the man's brain to become slightly swollen, and his inner ear ossicles were lost during preparation of the slices.
Small blood vessels were collapsed by the freezing process.
Tendons are difficult to cut cleanly, and they occasionally smear across the slice surfaces.
The male has only one testicle, is missing his appendix, and has tissue deterioration at the lethal injection site. Also visible are tissue damage to the dorsum of each forearm from the formalin injection and damage to the right sartorius and femoral vessels from opening the right femoral vein for drainage. The male was also not "cut" while in anatomical position, so the cuts through his arms are oblique.
The "anatomical" menu displays 20 types of legends which correspond to the 16 chapters of Terminologia Anatomica (we have divided the cardiovascular system into heart, arteries and veins, and the nervous system into central nervous system, peripheral and autonomic):
The Visible Human Project is a fantastic tool that lets you view almost all anatomical structures of the body. For didactic purposes and practice, we have labelled one tenth of the possible structures, so as not to overload the module. We have deliberately set principal names of bones, and summarily labelled the brain, whereas virtually all muscles of the body are listed.
Anatomical legends of the Visible Human Project are available in Latin (Terminologia Anatomica), French, English, Spanish, Czech, Portuguese, Russian and Japanese.
The menu "regions" can be achieved in one click - head, neck, thorax, abdomen, pelvis, thighs, legs or feet.

Ways To Improve The Effectiveness Of Both The Eaton Plate-Style And The Auburn Cone-Design Limited-Slip Units
The only thing more frustrating than not having the power to spin the tires is smoking the right rear when youd rather be accelerating. Single-tire spin occurs with either an open differential or a dead posi-traction unit. Since two legs are better than one in any kind of butt-kicking contest, well take a look at a couple of ways to improve the effectiveness of both the Eaton plate-style and the Auburn cone-design limited-slip units.
The purpose of a posi-traction unit is to tie the two drive axles together for more efficient traction under acceleration. Originally designed to improve traction in mud, snow and icy conditions, such traction improvers were soon adopted to limit tire spin. Under hard acceleration in a rear-wheel-drive car, torque tries to rotate the rearend housing, lifting the right rear tire while planting the left one. While a posi-traction device does nothing to counteract that motion, it does connect the two drive tires with a friction device to prevent the right rear tire from spinning. The effectiveness of the unit can be measured by the amount of torque it takes to break the right rear tire loose from the left rear.
At this point, you might think that the simplest way to permanently tie the two wheels together would be with a solid link between the two axles. Drag racers often employ just such a device, known as a spool. Low-buck hot rodders sometimes weld the spider and side gears together to create an inexpensive spool. Unfortunately, both of those alternatives are dangerous for street use. The reason for the differential in any vehicle is to accommodate the different distances the inside and outside tires must travel in a turn (the outside tire travels a significantly greater distance than the inside tire). If the outside tire is not allowed to travel the greater distance, the axles twist and the outside tire tends to bounce and chirp. That eventually leads to broken axles. When the axle breaks in a GM 10- or 12-bolt rearend, the tire, wheel and axle combination exits the car, tearing up the rear sheetmetal in the process.
A limited-slip unit allows some slippage between the axles in a turn, which means that the device will eventually wear to the point where it cannot prevent torque from spinning the right rear tire under straight-line acceleration or the inside tire when accelerating out of a turn. Thats when you know its time to rebuild the posi.
We wont cover removing the posi from the rearend in this story. If you need more information on that, you can consult a shop manual. Once the differential is removed from the housing, it can be easily disassembled and the clutch plates inspected for wear. To help us detail this rebuild, we enlisted the help of Steve Chrisman at Jack Chrisman Enterprises. In the case of the Eaton-style unit, a Posi-traction rebuild kit with new clutch plates is available through any Chevrolet dealer. If the friction facing on the clutches is worn, you might consider replacing the clutches. The rebuild kit is not expensive.
Usually, the clutch plates are not significantly worn even though the posi slips easily. That can be rectified by adding thicker shims to preload the posi with a higher breakaway torque. The shims are placed either between the clutch pack and the case or between the clutch pack and the large side gear. Chevrolet sells shims ranging in thickness from .007 to .030 inch that will increase the clutch-pack stack thickness and increase the torque required to make the unit slip. That is the most common way to improve the preload of a used posi-traction unit. Too thick of a washer stack will prevent you from assembling the spider gears in the posi unit. Start by using a .010-inch-thicker shim for each clutch pack (for a total of .020 inch). In our unit, that was all we could squeeze into the clutch packs and still assemble the unit. This procedure can be used to increase the preload on an Auburn cone-style posi as well.
Most posi units also employ a spring pack that puts additional load on the clutch packs. Two steel plates locate four springs that can be replaced. Chevrolet offers two different springs for the 12-bolt Eaton posi. The stock replacement springs are rated at 50 pounds per inch, while the high-performance springs are rated at 75 pounds per inch. The heavier springs can be tried, but they also may create a popping sound as they preload and then release the clutch plates, especially in tight, slow turns. Auburn also offers higher rate competition-only posi springs, but the company doesnt recommend them for the street.
One way to measure the effectiveness of the changes you make to a posi is with a homemade torque adapter. The one we used was built by SCCA autocross racer Dan Livezey. The adapter is simply a flat steel plate drilled with the appropriate wheel bolt pattern and a 1-inch nut welded in the center. To use it we placed the car on jackstands and removed one wheel. We used the right rear since it more closely approximates a tire-spin situation. We blocked the left rear tire and slipped the adapter onto the right rear axle. With the parking brake released, we used a torque wrench to measure the amount of torque required to turn the axle. Our autocross racer sources tell us that a breakaway torque of between 110 and 140 pounds of torque will work well on the street and prevent inboard tire spin even in a tight, slow turn when the power is applied. It is possible to create more breakaway torque in a posi, but excessive torque only creates a bind in the posi that could decrease component life.
Improving your limited-slip probably doesnt rate style points compared to bolting on a supercharger, but when it comes to putting the power to the ground, two legs are always better than one.

Two men riding in an off-road vehicle on a state highway in northwestern Pennsylvania were killed in a head-on crash when the driver attempted to pass another vehicle.
State police said Saturday the crash occurred at 6:50 p.m. Friday on state Route 8 outside Hydetown in Crawford County.
Police said the victims, both from Titusville, were in an off-road vehicle known as a "side by side'' because of its seating configuration. It's illegal to drive such vehicles on public highways
"You can cross a highway at (an angle of) 90 degrees, but you can't drive up and down the road,'' said Trooper Adam Haun, who investigated the accident.
The driver, 22-year-old Devon Patrick Beach, was flown to a hospital in Erie, where he later died. His passenger, 23-year-old Ryan James Rose, was declared dead at the scene.
Neither man was wearing a seat belt police said.
The 70-year-old driver of the other car, who was wearing a seat belt, was taken to a hospital with minor injuries.
