Your inner sanctum.
Chris King headsets have been the industry benchmark for 35 years -- ever since the company created the first sealed bearing headset in 1976. This InSet 2 Headset is built upon that tradition, though it has different dimensions and style to fit current frame specs. It's designed for bike frames that require a tapered, semi-integrated (zero stack) headset.
We're not sure why it took Chris King so long to begin manufacture of their InSet. When we bought our first bike frames that required semi-integrated headsets, we wanted Chris King quality, even if the always luscious polished and anodized parts were going to be mostly obscured by the headtube of the frame. They're available in all configurations now, and the good news is that the InSet headset is like all other King headsets -- it will probably last longer than the frame you'll install it in. From the saddle, you'll get a view of that coveted logo on the top bearing assembly and steerer cap to remind you of your inspired purchase.
All parts of the InSet 2 Headset are machined in-house in Chris King's Portland facility, from the aluminum cups to the stainless steel sealed cartridge bearings. The bearings are pressed into alloy cups that are then pressed into the headtube. The difference between an InSet headset like this one and NoThreadset is that, here, the bearings are housed inside the headtube. The InSet 2 offers the same quality and precision that you've always expected from King parts, and the upper bearing cover uses their new GripLock compression ring assembly.
The Chris King InSet 2 Headset will mate a tapered fork steerer to a bike with a headtube having a 44mm ID top and 56mm ID bottom dimensions. You can also use a straight 1-1/8" fork if you use a 1.5 Devo baseplate (sold separately).

nice one
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
this is my 1st chris king headset and it is really of superb quality. and i really like the polished finish in navy blue. and of course it works just perfect as chris king parts are known to be.
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
This headset is extremely well built, functions like a dream, and comes in multiple colors. Can't go wrong.
Can't Beat it!
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Love the fit, finish and quality of Chris King products and have only heard amazing things about the long term durability. Totally silent and smooth so far and I don't expect that to change any time soon. From what I hear it should out last the life of the bike itself.
Chris King Perfection
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
One of the best headsets you can get by far. The limited edition colors always stand out and let you bling out your ride while knowing you are getting a high quality headset.
Best there is
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Chris King leaves all other bearing components in the dust. This headset is the best there is. From XC to Freeride, there's nothing with King's longevity. Always rebuildable if you neglect it too long. Ultra-smooth for years. I've been building my custom bikes with King products for years because I know I can count on them to last and out perform all others out there.

Chris King Inset 2
This headset works perfectly with my new Pivot 429 build. Wanted to build a solid bike and this headset is top notch.
Thanks for the cool headset.
Chris King. Enough said.
Only the King for Mach 6
After a little debate I decided to go with this InSet 2 Headset over Cane Creek on my new Pivot Mach 6. Why build a Boost enduro machine and skimp on the components? I have only ever had one bike with a Chris King Headset and am still kicking myself for selling it. But the King is back and here to stay. Best componentry out there and assembled in the USA.
Big thanks to Joe Bolton in our Retail Store Bike Shop for getting my new Mach 6 put together. If you are ever in Salt Lake City definitely stop by our Retail Store to check out their bike selection and visit Joe (2607 S 3200 W, Suite A, West Valley UT 84119). Contact me with any questions about this headset, especially if you are interested in custom building a new mountain bike.

Hey Ruben G,
This will fit your 2012 Trek Superfly Al Elite. If you have any other questions feel free to contact me directly: email@example.com.

It's a Chris King. Nothing else to say!
As long as headset standards don't change, this should last me through several bikes!
The Best of The Best
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Chris King makes the only headset I'll run on any bike I own. Why? Because they machine, polish and hand assemble everything in their Portland facility for quality, availability and product control. Everything they make, they guarantee and their raw materials are sourced from US mills to guarantee the best processes available.
Not only are they US made, but Chris King's InSet headsets are some of the smoothest, strongest headsets available. You won't hear them clicking, popping, stuttering or pulling after a few months, because Chris King headsets are designed to last for the lifetime of the bike... And longer. The InSet 2 was designed for low-stack quality in bikes with tapered pairings.
Do yourself a favor and make the investment in your bike that a Chris King headset is.
Ive had a few
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
A headset that will last longer then your bike.
Why spend a bunch of money on a new bike and put a cheap headset in the thing. I have never had an issue with king headsets and will always use them in the future.
Does this include the 1.5" base plate?
yes it comes with the 1.5" race
does this fit with the 2013 yeti sb66 carbon frame?
Yes, it should fit but just in case measure the inside diameter of both the top lower openings of the headtube. The top inside diameter should measure 44mm and the lower inside diameter should measure 56mm (I had a 2014 Yeti SB66c with this headset).
Great product. No complaints.
Will this fit a Felt FC frame?
Will this fit a Felt FC frame?
Hi Dirk,
The headset you need for the Felt FC is a integrated headset. http://www.fullspeedahead.com/products/327/NO42CFACB
The Chris King will not work for your frame.

Remaining Teachable
Musicians and nonmusicians alike always ask those playing high-profile gigs how they got there. The answers reveal that everyone's story has unique twists and turns: There is no universal roadmap. But learning lessons on the journey to reach these professional destinations has a lot to do with your attitude and whether you make the best of the breaks that come your way.
My experience of moving to New York after graduating from Berklee was similar to that of many other alumni. I struggled to find gigs, teaching opportunities, and a professional circle that would bring me in. I barely earned enough money to survive. Then I got a call from Ray Monteiro '03 saying that the saxophone player in his horn section was unable to go on tour with Eric Benét. He asked if could I do the gig.
Disenchanted with my situation in New York, I said yes, packed my bags, and moved to California. When Ray picked me up at the airport, he let me know that I didn't have the gig for sure, there would be an audition. With my life and dreams packed in those suitcases, I went to the rehearsal-audition determined to create a spot for myself. Ray and I sat with the band and did what we do best until the musical director turned around and said, "Miguel, welcome to the family!" That was the beginning of everything. I also learned a valuable lesson: Don't be afraid to take big risks and make big moves. You have to play your chances and believe in your craft.
Stepping Back to Jump Higher
After the Benét tour, I was invited to do a TV appearance as a soloist with Babyface. He was preparing to go on tour and was using the same music director (MD) who worked on Benét's tour. The band and horn section were already contracted for the tour when I got a call to work with Babyface's horn section for a single BET network event. The call came in two hours prior to the gig. I grabbed my suit and made it to dressing room, where I learned the whole show just before going onstage.
The day that rehearsals for the Babyface tour started, the MD called me and told me to come to the rehearsal. The budget for the tour was set, but he wanted me to play. Production offered me a third of what everyone else was making and told me I would have to share a hotel room. I took the gig nevertheless. That taught me another valuable lesson: Don't be afraid to take a step back so you can jump higher.
I became permanent part of the horn section with Monteiro (trumpet), Garrett Smith '99 (trombone), and for a time, Randy Ellis III (saxophone). Together we've had many amazing musical experiences. In 2006 the horn section got called to work with Christina Aguilera for her Back to Basics project. That was my introduction to working with pop megastars, celebrity parties, VIP rooms, million-dollar productions, first-class air travel, five-star hotels, packed arenas everywhere, hundreds of thousands of fans, TV appearances, DVDs, and an enormous paycheck. We traveled the world and I experienced it all through the notes of my saxophone. It was a time that I'll never forget.
Reality Check
We worked for Christina for almost two years, and that experience showed me firsthand how easy it is to lose your sense of reality. Being surrounded by fame, money, and adoring fans can make you start to believe that you are entitled to these things because you are part of the machine. But in truth, when the gig is over, you go back to your apartment and look for another job, while the celebrity goes home and continues to live life in the fast lane. Another lesson: A career is generally not made of one gig; it's an accumulation of jobs and experiences.
In 2008, our horn section got the call to back Whitney Houston. I arrived at the rehearsal to find "I Will Always Love You" on the music stand and got excited to play the famous sax solo in the song. I was 25-years old and saw a chance to show the world what I could do. After we ran the song and I'd improvised a solo, the MD took me aside and told me to learn the solo on the record. At the time, the lesson didn't sink in.
A couple of months later, we got called to do a TV appearance with Aretha Franklin. Her song "Respect" has a tenor sax solo at the end of the bridge and once more, I saw it as my chance to shine. Again, the MD took me aside and told me to learn the original solo. I kicked myself for not having a clearer vision and serving the music. This time I got it: Understand history and classic songs. They are classics for a reason.
Later that year we got called to play with John Mayer and B.B. King at the "Grammy Nominations Concert Live!!" TV special. It was an all-star band with keyboardists Greg Phillinganes and Dave Delhomme '89, drummer John "JR" Robinson '75, and bassist Alex Al. There was only time for a camera-blocking rehearsal before the performance. Greg had sent us a recording of the song, so we transcribed the horn arrangement and got fully prepared for the show. During the camera blocking, people were on their feet cheering the horn section. It was a great opportunity for us to be part of such an all-star ensemble and to be recognized by the artists. It was a boost to our egos, our careers, and our future. The lesson: Breaks come when opportunity meets preparation.
We also had the opportunity to play with Diana Ross. It was a true orchestra gig with charts and all the doubles for me (including flute and baritone sax). There were dozens of musicians onstage playing classic arrangements of classic hit songs. I'll never forget Diana grabbing the microphone during the show to say, "Give it up for my orchestra!" It wasn't just a band; it was an orchestra of great importance to the show.
This Wasn't It
Later in 2009, the horn section auditioned for Michael Jackson's "This Is It Tour." We prepared for the audition in every way we could, from our arrangements to our two-steps to our look. We played with the band first. The MD loved it and asked us to come back and play for Michael. A few days later, we played a few tunes for Michael, who sat a couple of feet away from us. There was an almost magical atmosphere in the room. When we finished, Kenny Ortega, the show's director, took Michael outside for a talk. Kenny came back a few moments later and said that Michael wanted to hire the band but was apprehensive about having a horn section. Kenny wanted horns and told us that he would get back to us.
At the same time, we were being solicited to go on tour with the Jonas Brothers. We waited for Kenny to call us back, but we had to make a decision and decided to go with the Jonas Brothers. A couple of weeks later, Michael passed away. Between the gig with Diana and this episode, I learned that as a horn player, you have to understand your place in the big picture. Every gig calls for different details regardless of your talent.
Ultimately, we joined the Jonas Brothers at the peak of their success and played in stadiums and arenas across the globe for huge crowds. Again, there were private planes for production, band, and crew, thousands of fans outside every hotel, and social media informing the young fans all about us.
The Jonas camp was business-savvy, but we were the first musicians they'd hired outside their original band. It was a learning experience for both parties. As independent musicians, we had to advocate for ourselves. There were DVDs and reality TV shows being shot and extra performances added to the calendar last-minute without compensation. I can't fault the Brothers for wanting to capitalize on the opportunities being offered to them, but we had to learn our rights and fight for them. Lesson: Musicians need to fully understand the business and know how to negotiate on their own behalf.
In 2010 we got called to join The Tonight Show Band under the musical direction of Rickey Minor. The legacy of musicians who have been part of the Tonight Show history was daunting. For four years, I was blessed to play music going out to millions of homes every night. The whole experience was joyful and provided me with so many opportunities professionally and personally. That gig gave me opportunities to apply the lessons mentioned above and learn new ones.
In February, Jay Leno retired, and our horn section was invited to continue working with Rickey Minor at American Idol. I serve as a player as well as horn arranger and a programmer.
As I look to the future after a decade in the business, my plan is to remain teachable. There will always be lessons to learn.

AJ Daulerio's Cultural Oddsmaker runs every Friday. Email him to let him know what you think.
Everybody's got a no-no drink in their arsenal. Some people take a whiff of tequila and start gagging. Others can have one sip of gin and start fending off imaginary crocodiles with a bar stool. For me? It's scotch. Every time I've attempted to take part in "grown-up drinking," it's ended with me urinating in my pants. Literally. The three times in my life I've drank scotch, I've completely pissed myself. This is not while I'm sleeping, mind you. It's usually on the walk home from the bar. For whatever reason, scotch disrupts the brain-to-bladder communication mechanism, and I usually end up in a frantic sprint to either find a dark alley or get to the bathroom before I explode. Three times, I've lost and ended up taking a miserable walk home with a crotch area that resembled a Rorshach Test.
For Arizona Cardinals quarterback Matt Leinart, "sauvignon blanc" appears to be his no-no drink. Hopefully, it took more than one glass for him to open up to Yahoo football writer Michael Silver and bitch about his split-time quarterback situation. But what does Matt Leinart's admission that he wants be front-seat driver really tell us? It's more telling that Mr. Leinart is obviously not that much of a drinker. If I were a beat-reporter covering the Cardinals, I'd make sure to sign Leinart up for a booze of the month club ASAP. And when that happens, he shall spill.
So this week, I'm putting on my drinking pants, bad-touching a sommelier in the desert and placing odds on the other drinks that'll make Arizona's crestfallen quarterback say stupid shit.
Let's go pound some sediment, after this more.
Woo Woo Shots: 2/1
Lucky for Michael Silver, Leinart wasn't drinking this toxic combination of vodka, peach schnapps and cranberry juice, or "Fightin Lightnin," as some regular hardcore imbibers call them. After two Woo Woos, Leinart would most likely become very chesty and aggressive, pawing at women and challenging the stoutest of men to Indian-wrestling competitions. Ken Whisenhunt should make sure Leinart isn't spiking his water bottle a couple drops of "The Woo," or else he could find himself seeing a darker, angrier side of his part-time franchise quarterback.
Appletinis: 1/1
These green menaces have been the downfall of many a virile man's evening. But it's not the two fingers of vodka that usually have a negative affect, but rather the Apple Pucker Schnapps that causes the problem. This mysterious green liquor has been the catalyst for many a night of irrational couple's arguments, inappropriate confessions to best friend's parents and an overwhelming urge to fall asleep to "August and Everything After."
Limoncello: 3/1
Belisimo! Here's a tasty liquor that is very popular with T.J. Maxx-shopping mommies and Hollywood dwarves. The problem with these sickly sweet little numbers is that you can never gauge how many it'll take before it'll get ugly.
Mimosas: 1/4
This high octane mixture of orange juice and champagne is the elixir of choice for many a peacocking debutante. It tends to make most women more garrulous, giggly and orgasmic. Pump a chick full of enough mimosas before 1 p.m., and you'll be beav-chomping in no time. Same thing goes for California-bred quarterbacks, who are also prone to whipping out their own vaginas at the first caress of a champagne flute.

Well I thought I'd share this one with the group. It's the coolest thing I've had to try and solve. But anyway, I have the chance to earn to extra credit with this assignment.
assignment #1.
List all factorials from 1 to 100- something interesting happens?
assignment #2
A self-generating integer is such that the sum of the factorials of the digits of a number equal the number. For example:
145= 1!+4!+5!=1+24+120=145
There is one more. Create a program to find it.
For the first assignments, this is what I have so far.
import java.util.Scanner; public class Factorion { public static void main(String[] args) { int inputNumber; int number; int digit; int total; int factorial; Scanner keyboard = new Scanner(System.in); System.out.print("Please enter a positive integer (>=0):"); inputNumber = keyboard.nextInt(); while (inputNumber <= 0 || inputNumber == -0) { System.out.println("Sorry, the integer must be greater than or equal to 1."); System.out.print("Please enter a positive integer (>=0):"); inputNumber = keyboard.nextInt(); } total = 0; number = inputNumber; do { digit = number % 10; factorial = 1; for (int i = 1; i <= digit; i++) { factorial *= i; } total += factorial; number /= 10; } while (number > 0); if (total == inputNumber) { System.out.println(inputNumber + " is a factorion"); } else { System.out.println(inputNumber + " is a not factorion"); } } }
While this program works and does tell you if your number you entered is a factorion or not, I don't think it meets the prompt. I think what I should do here, is find a way to only print the 4 factorion numbers (boolean?) - 1, 2, 145, and 40585. The big part here is getting graded on the logic. I would think that if it's only printing out 4 numbers, it should at least be done with JOptionPane too.
Any thoughts on either of these?

Windows Phone 8 Apollo Details Leaked
Windows Phone 8 Apollo Details Leaked
Rumors surrounding Microsoft's Windows Phone platform have been circulating, starting with a leaked roadmap of its codenamed Tango and Apollo updates. PocketNow managed to score more news, and the focus is on the Apollo update which is reportedly looking at a Q4 2012 release.
In a video meant for its partners at Nokia, a number of features for the Apollo update has been revealed. From the hardware perspective, the update will support multi-core devices and a total of four screen resolutions. The latter is especially important should Microsoft wish to target emerging markets, which usually play down the screen resolution to keep costs low. More importantly, Microsoft is looking to reverse its earlier decision and allow microSD support with the Apollo update. Fact is, relying on an internal storage hasn't given consumers a lot of leeway in expanding their media collection on a Windows Phone.
Near field communication will be part of the focus for Apollo, with Microsoft explaining that wireless payments can be carrier-branded and controlled, either by a secure element on the SIM card or utilizing hardware in the phone itself. Given how Nokia is making a huge move into the NFC infrastructure and their tight relationship with Microsoft, we might see more practical NFC applications when Apollo comes to town.
The Apollo update, which is supposedly looking to be named Windows Phone 8, will also see a tight integration with its Windows 8 cousin. Besides a similar Metro user interface, Windows Phone 8 is designed to make it easier for developers to port their apps onto the desktop environment. According to Microsoft, developers are looking at reusing most of their apps' code for the Windows 8 platform, and the specifics go towards the kernel, networking stacks, security, and multimedia support as areas of heavy overlap.
Other related software updates include a dedicated app to sync Windows Phone 8 with the desktop, and this will presumably move the sync relationship away from the current arrangement via the Zune PC client. The Apollo update will also see the Xbox app having a similar counterpart on Windows 8, while Skydrive will see a lot more integration with Windows Phone. To that effect, Microsoft cited how your music collection that resides on Skydrive can be synced to a Windows Phone, without a PC.
The apps ecosystem will also see a stronger growth, but Microsoft is targeting two specific areas for Apollo. The first move might see Skype being put to good use on the Apollo update, promising a user experience that's similar to your regular phone calls, except it's conducted as a VoIP call. The camera will see more apps being integrated, which includes various effects or even modes such as a combined burst mode with smile detection.
Apollo updates aside, Microsoft is expected to release the Windows Phone Tango update within Q2 2012. It is believed this will be an incremental update, and details of the Tango update will be revealed at Mobile World Congress 2012. Unfortunately, the company has been mum on what exactly will be revealed at Barcelona.

Spam Texts: New Defense Against Terror in Russia
It sounds absurd, but a daily annoyance to millions of Russians did save lives.
A man whose plot to cause carnage on Moscow's iconic Red Square was thwarted by a spam phone message that prematurely detonated a bomb was sentenced Wednesday to 15 years in jail.
Ilyas Saidov, a member of an underground Islamist group, brought explosives-laden belts disguised as heaters for two female suicide bombers on a bus from his native Dagestan, a southern province in the Caucasus region plagued by almost daily clashes between Islamists and federal forces.
But just hours before they were to detonate the bombs on New Year's Eve, 2010, a belt attached to a cellphone exploded after the detonator was activated by a spam message, killing one of the women and prompting the arrest of the other. She was sentenced to 10 years in jail in May.

ESMO @ ECC 2013: No Benefit Seen from Adding Zalutumumab to Radiotherapy in Patients with Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Head and Neck
Addition of EGFR inhibitor, zalutumumab, did not increase loco-regional control nor disease-specific or overall survival.
- Date: 30 Sep 2013
- Topic: Head and neck cancers
Concomitant EGFR inhibitor zalutumumab plus primary (chemo-)radiotherapy and nimorazole did not show benefit over primary (chemo-)radiotherapy and nimorazole for the treatment of patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) and neither improved loco-regional control nor disease-specific or overall survival at 3 years.
First results of a randomised phase III study were reported 30 September, 2013 by Dr. Jesper Eriksen of the Department of Oncology, Odense University Hospital, Odense, Denmark during the Best and Late Breaking Abstracts section of Presidential Session III (Abstract E17-7116) at the 17th ECCO – 38th ESMO – 32nd ESTRO European Cancer Congress. The European Cancer Congresses are organised in joint partnership with ESSO, EACR, EONS and SIOPE as a forum for the latest in oncology research and to offer multidisciplinary and multi-professional educational opportunities in oncology. The 2013 Congress convened in Amsterdam, The Netherlands from 27 September until 1 October.
Design of phase III DAHANCA-9 trial
The DAHANCA-9 phase III trial (NCT00496652) was conducted by the Danish Head and Neck Cancer Group (DAHANCA). The trial evaluated whether the addition of zalutumumab, a fully humanised IgG1 monoclonal antibody directed towards the Epidermal Growth Factor receptor (EGFR) to concurrent radiotherapy could improve outcome in patients with HNSCC.
The trial enrolled 619 patients with biopsy-verified HNSCC from November 2007 to June 2012. Patients were stratified by tumour-site, stage, p16 status and concurrent cisplatin. The tumour site was the oral cavity in 4% of patients, oropharynx in 69%, hypopharynx in 12% and larynx in 14% of patients. Stage 3-4 disease was confirmed in 554 (89%) patients and 75% of the oropharyngeal carcinomas were positive for p16. In all, 70% of patients were receiving concurrent cisplatin; patients with stage 3-4 carcinomas received weekly cisplatin at 40 mg/m2 during radiotherapy.
Patients were randomised to receive either sole radiotherapy (control arm, n=309) or radiotherapy plus zalutumumab at 8 mg/kg (zalutumumab arm, n=310). Patients in the zalutumumab arm received the first dose the week prior to beginning radiotherapy and continued to receive it weekly during irradiation. Patient and tumour characteristics were well balanced between arms. Radiotherapy was the same in both arms: primary accelerated radiotherapy predominantly 66-68Gy, 2Gy/fx, 6fx/wk and concomitant daily hypoxic radiosensitisation with nimorazole. Elective neck dissection was not performed.
The trial's primary endpoint was loco-regional control (LRC) and secondary endpoints included disease-specific survival (DSS) and overall survival (OS).
The study results
At time of final data collection for primary outcome measure (July 2013), the median observation time was 36 month (range12 - 67 months). Data analysis showed 126 verified cases of LRC, 71 patients were dead of HNNSC and 45 had died of other causes.
No difference was demonstrated between arms in the rate of LRC at three years; the 3-year LRC rate was 78% in the zalutumumab arm compared to 79% in the control arm, (hazard ratio [HR] 0.8; 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.6, 1.2). Similar results of comparable response between arms were seen for disease-free and overall survival; DSS (HR 1.0; 95% CI 0.7, 1.7) and OS (HR 0.9; 95% CI 0.6, 1.3). The effect of zalutumumab was not influenced by p-16 positivity HR (1.0; 95% CI 0.6, 1.8) nor by p-16 negativity (HR 0.8; 95% CI 0.5, 1.4).
Treatment was generally well tolerated. However, nearly all (94%) of patients in the zalutumumab arm reported a skin rash, with 29% of these patients experiencing a grade 3-4 rash. Zalutumumab was halted by 13% of patients due to rash.
These results represent the first report of data from this randomised phase III and additional analyses are underway.
No conflict of interest was reported.

Marine Gen. John Allen made clear Wednesday that he expects to be cleared of wrongdoing or involvement in the sex scandal that forced CIA Director David Petraeus to resign in disgrace.
A statement issued by his military lawyer also suggested that Allen, the allied commander in Afghanistan, expects that his nomination by President Obama to be promoted to take over command of NATO as head of the European Command would eventually be approved by the Senate.
Defense Secretary Leon Panetta put Allen's nomination on hold when the general's name surfaced as a close friend and frequent emailer with the Florida socialite whose complaints to the FBI triggered the investigation that uncovered the affair between Petraeus and his mistress and biographer, Paula Broadwell.
In the statement on Allen's behalf, Col. John G. Baker, chief defense counsel of the Marine Corps, said that Allen's voluminous email exchanges with Jill Kelley, who billed herself as a goodwill "ambassador" at MacDill Air Force Base in Tampa, "is the subject of a Defense Department Inspector General's Investigation, and I am currently assisting him in that process."
Aides to Allen have stressed that his relationship with Kelley was platonic, and Baker said that Allen "intends to fully cooperate with the Inspector General Investigators and directed his staff to do the same. To the extent there are questions about certain communications by Gen. Allen, he shares in the desire to resolve those."
A senior Defense Department official on Tuesday characterized Allen's emails to Kelley as possibly "inappropriate and flirtatious."
Baker said that Allen can't comment on the investigation but noted that he "does sincerely appreciate the support expressed by the President, the Secretary of Defense, members of Congress, and members of the public" in his integrity.
Allen was in Washington for the nomination hearing before the Senate Armed Services Committee that had been scheduled for Thursday, but he was now expected to return to Kabul this weekend to resume command of the International Security Assistance Force in Afghanistan.
The hearing will go ahead for Marine Gen. Joseph Dunford, who has been nominated to replace Allen as ISAF commander, and a hearing for Allen on his own nomination as NATO commander would take place when the DOD's Inspector General investigation is complete.

Late night comics still can't get over the tiny margin by which Mitt Romney apparently won the Iowa caucuses.
They also can't stop making jokes at the demographic make-up of the GOP field, especially now that one of its frontrunners is an outspoken opponent of gay rights.
Rick Santorum was perhaps best known for his steadfast opposition to abortion rights and same-sex marriage — until his virtue tie for first in Iowa, where Romney apparently won by just eight votes.
"Eight votes!" Jay Leno marveled on "The Tonight Show" Tuesday.
"At one point, Santorum almost withdrew from the race, because he didn't want to finish that close to another man," Leno joked.

Original Trinity Hymnal, #96
'Tis not that I did choose thee,
For, Lord, that could not be;
This heart would still refuse thee,
Hadst thou not chosen me.
Thou from the sin that stained me
Hast cleansed and set me free;
Of old thou hast ordained me,
That I should live to thee.
'Twas sovereign mercy called me
And taught my op'ning mind;
The world had else enthralled me,
To heavenly glories blind.
My heart owns none before thee,
For thy rich grace I thirst;
This knowing, if I love thee,
Thou must have loved me first.

Zeyer's dramatic poem is one of the most beautiful love stories to have graced a Czech stage. Classical fairy-tale motifs wed with mythological references joined together with bravado through a metaphorical language. Radúz and Mahulena, from feuding kingdoms, surmount on behalf of their love not only the wiles of fate, but also the sorceries of Queen Runa, burning with hate. Zeyer gave his play the subheading "A Slovak fairy tale in four acts" and the splendid prologue "I am a fairy tale. I will lead those who join me to the blue lands of fable..." Besides Slovak myths and fairy tales, he also drew upon the Indian drama Sakuntala by the poet Kalidasa. In doing so, he created an exceptionally impressive work whose centre of gravity is the power of the word augmented by abundant symbolism of colours and natural elements.

Unit 4: Ecosystems // Section 9: Natural Ecosystem Change
Just as relationships between individual species are dynamic, so too is the overall makeup of ecosystems. The process by which one natural community changes into another over a time scale of years to centuries is called succession. Common succession patterns include plant colonization of sand dunes and the regrowth of forests on abandoned farmland (Fig. 15). While the general process is widely recognized, ecologists have offered differing views of what drives succession and how to define its end point. By analyzing the natural succession process, scientists seek to measure how stable ecosystems are at different stages in their trajectory of development, and how they respond to disturbances in their physical environment or changes in the frequency at which they are disturbed.
Figure 15. Typical forest succession pattern
See larger image
Source: © Dr. Michael Pidwimy, University of British Columbia Okanagan.
In the early 20th century, plant biologist Frederic Clements described two types of succession: primary (referring to colonization of a newly exposed landform, such as sand dunes or lava flows after a volcanic eruption) and secondary (describing the return of an area to its natural vegetation following a disturbance such as fire, treefall, or forest harvesting). British ecologist Arthur Tansley distinguished between autogenic succession—change driven by the inhabitants of an ecosystem, such as forests regrowing on abandoned agricultural fields—and allogenic succession, or change driven by new external geophysical conditions such as rising average temperatures resulting from global climate change.
As discussed above, ecologists often group species depending on whether they are better adapted for survival at low or high population densities (r-selected versus K-selected). Succession represents a natural transition from r- to K-selected species. Ecosystems that have recently experienced traumatic extinction events such as floods or fires are favorable environments for r-selected species because these organisms, which are generalists and grow rapidly, can increase their populations in the absence of competition immediately after the event. Over time, however, they will be out-competed by K-selected species, which often derive a competitive advantage from the habitat modification that takes place during early stages of primary succession.
For example, when an abandoned agricultural field transitions back to forest, as seen in Figure 15, sun-tolerant weeds and herbs appear first, followed by dense shrubs like hawthorn and blackberry. After about a decade, birches and other small fast-growing trees move in, sprouting wherever the wind blows their lightweight seeds. In 30 to 40 years, slower-spreading trees like ash, red maple, and oak take root, followed by shade-tolerant trees such as beech and hemlock.
A common observation is that as ecosystems mature through successional stages, they tend to become more diverse and complex. The number of organisms and species increases and niches become narrower as competition for resources increases. Primary production rates and nutrient cycling may slow as energy moves through a longer sequence of trophic levels (Table 5).
|Ecosystem attributes
|Developmental stages
|Mature stages
|More or less than 1
|Approaching 1
|Food chains
|Community structure:
|Species diversity
|Nutrient conservation
|Poor; detritus unimportant
|Good; detritus important
|Nutrient exchange rates
Many natural disturbances have interrupted the process of ecosystem succession throughout Earth's history, including natural climate fluctuations, the expansion and retreat of glaciers, and local factors such as fires and storms. An understanding of succession is central for conserving and restoring ecosystems because it identifies conditions that managers must create to bring an ecosystem back into its natural state. The Tallgrass Prairie National Preserve in Kansas, created in 1996 to protect 11,000 acres of prairie habitat, is an example of a conservation project that seeks to approximate natural ecosystem succession. A herd of grazing buffalo tramples on tree seedlings and digs up the ground, creating bare patches where new plants can grow, just as millions of buffalo maintained the grassland prairies that covered North America before European settlement (footnote 10).

Sound design: Zbyněk Perla, Petr Zuska
On 20 May 2007, the National Theatre hosted the premiere of my dance-theatre piece Brel – Vysotsky – Kryl / Solo for Three. The production, very specific, singular and unique in many respects, has ever since enjoyed great popularity on the part of audiences in Prague and beyond, and gained acclaim in a number of cities worldwide.
Ten years on, I have decided to come up with something that would in a certain way link up to the production, both in dramaturgic and symbolic terms. Something that would bear kindred structural and thematic traits yet as a stylistically different and independent original piece encompass its own, new message.
The title, Solo for the Two of Us, refers to several levels at once. It may mean a solo for a relationship between a man and a woman. Or a solo for a human being and his/her demon concealed somewhere within. A solo for an adult and the little child he/she once was and which he/she has lost en route somewhere.
A solo for a "duet" of the heart and the mind, the soul and the body, life and death. Yet it also concerns a dialogue of an individual with that which surrounds him/her, with the reality and society the person is part of.
And, last but not least, it is a solo for Jaromír Nohavica and Beata Bocek, two fabulous contemporary musicians and singer-songwriters, both of them hailing from Těšín, a Czech-Polish region. Accordingly, in the final analysis, we can say that in addition to the aforementioned it may be deemed to be an encounter between two beautiful Slavonic languages.
Petr Zuska
P.S. And should my performance turn out well, you can also expect a Solo for Laughter and Tears.
Premiere: 15 and 16 Juny 2017

Periodontitis is an advanced form of gum disease. It can cause destruction of the supportive structures around your teeth and lead to permanent tooth loss.
Untreated periodontitis can be serious and lead to complications such as:
- Increased risk of coronary artery disease (CAD)
- Increased risk of preeclampsia and preterm delivery in pregnant women
- Increased risk of pneumonia
- More difficultly controlling blood sugar in people with diabetes
Bacteria grow on your teeth and create a filmy coating called plaque. A build up of this plaque causes an inflammation of the gum tissue, known as gingivitis . If gingivitis is left untreated, the plaque can extend under the gum line can create pockets around the teeth. Bacteria can collect in these pockets and cause regular inflammation and destruction known as periodontitis. Over time, this chronic inflammation and bacteria cause destruction of gum tissue, ligaments, and bones that hold your teeth in place.
Risk Factors
Poor oral hygiene including untreated gingivitis increases the risk of periodontitis. It is also more common in older adults.
Other factors that can increase bacteria or plaque in your mouth include:
- Genetics
- Poor dietary habits
- Poorly controlled diabetes
- Metabolic syndrome —A condition marked by elevated blood pressure, cholesterol, blood glucose, and body weight. Excess weight centered around the midsection is of particular concern.
- Suppressed immune system
- Pregnancy
- Smoking or chew tobacco
Periodontitis normally occurs without symptoms. In those that have symptoms, periodontitis may cause:
- Red, swollen, tender, or bleeding gums
- Receding gums that may expose the root of your teeth
- Loose teeth or teeth that fall out
- Persistent bad breath
- Presence of pus between your teeth
- Change in the way your teeth fit together when you bite down
- Swelling of face and jaw
- Weight loss in elderly
You will be asked about your symptoms and medical history. A complete oral exam will be done. Periodontal disease can be diagnosed during an oral exam. Your dentist may do x-rays to determine how much damage has been done.
The goal of treatment is to stop the bacterial invasion. Further course of treatment depends on the severity and progression of the periodontitis.
Talk to your dentist about the best treatment plan for you. Options include:
Deep Cleaning
A cleaning procedure called scaling and root planing is done first. These will remove excess build-up above and below the gum line, and along the tooth root where bacteria thrive. In some cases, lasers can be used to remove plaque.
Your dentist may recommend antibiotics to treat any bacterial infection. Antibiotics may be given as:
- Oral tablets
- Topical mouthwash
- Beads that are placed into the infected gum pockets
You may need surgery if your periodontitis doesn't improve with deep cleaning or antibiotic treatment. Surgery may be also necessary to repair damaged gum tissues and bones. Surgical procedures include:
- Flap surgery —Sections of gum tissue are opened to access the root of the tooth for deep cleaning. The gum tissue is reshaped and put back into position.
- Bone and tissue graft—Tissue from another part of your body is used as a base to promote regrowth of healthy gum, bone, or connective tissue.
- Enamel matrix application—A special gel is applied to the tooth root to stimulate growth of healthy bone and tissue.
- Dental implants —An artificial tooth is placed in the jaw to hold a replacement tooth or bridge.
To help reduce your chance of periodontitis:
- Brush your teeth and tongue with fluoride toothpaste at least 2 times per day.
- Use a soft-bristled toothbrush or a powered toothbrush if advised by your dentist.
- Floss your teeth 1 time per day.
- Use a mouthwash after brushing and flossing your teeth.
- If you smoke or chew tobacco, talk to your doctor or dentist about how you can successfully quit.
- See your dentist as recommended for regular cleanings and check-ups.

Alison, Betsy - 2011 Hall of Fame
Elizabeth Gelenitis
"Betsy" Alison
"I've never been afraid to ask questions."
March 25, 1960 —
Birthplace: Bayonne, New Jersey
Betsy Alison started sailing at age 7 because her father insisted. Grumpy at first, soon Betsy was singing with her pals as they slipped happily over Barnegat Bay. She was successful as a local sailor, but turning it into a life dream, or a profession, never occurred to her. Then in 1977 she found herself at Tufts University, which just happened to have the best sailing team in the country. When her father died during her freshman year, a friend persuaded her to go sailing on Upper Mystic Lake. For the first time Alison realized her natural aptitude for the sport.
A self-described seat-of-the-pants sailor, she learned the technical side from talented Tuft's teammates. She credits numerous mentors, like Dave Perry who told her to buy a Laser, then told her how to sail it in heavy air: "pull everything tight and hike" (she did, winning her first, full-rig Laser regatta); her coach Joe Duplin, who pushed her to do more than she thought possible; and fellow collegians like Ken Read, Tommy Lihan, Morgan Riser, and Lynn Jewell Shore.
An Honorable Mention for All-American at Tufts in 1981, Alison has a unique ability to quickly apply what she learns. Ken Read told her how to sail a J-24 over lunch, after which she won the first of her five Women's Keel Boat Championships.
Voted Rolex Yachtswoman of the Year a record five times, Alison says she never felt discriminated against on the water: "You have to prove yourself. When you get the job done on the race course, you develop respect."
In 1998, Allison was asked to coach the USA team in the World Disabled Sailing Championship. Today she is the US Sailing Team Sperry Top-Sider Paralympic Coach.

2nd IABU Conference Postponed to May 2012
Mahachulalongkornrajavidyalaya University and the IABU have decided to postpone the 2nd IABU conference, originally scheduled for 15-19 Dec. 2011, due to the unprecedented floods facing Thailand. Our host and sponsor, Mahachulalongkorn University, is situated in the worst hit area, Ayutthaya province. Please see the pictures here, taken on 18th Oct, how all the roads and all the ground floors of every building are submerged under water.
The conference is to be held instead in 31 May - 02 June 2012 in conjunction with the 9th United Nations Day of Vesak.
The decision to postpone the conference has been taken by the MCU Rector reluctantly. Currently not only that the university is nonfunctional but it is also not clear when the situation will be back to normal. The government agencies themselves are struggling. Some predict that it will take two months for the water to recede and the situations return to normal. There might also be a problem of water-borne epidemic that often follows such floods.
Yours respectfully in the Dharma,
Ven. Dr. Khammai Dhammasami
IABU Executive Secretary

Forum: Mineralization
The glaciation process is when glaciers grind on rocks and these minerals mix with the water to form glacial "milk" that flows out to the sea. This is where the sea minerals come from to begin with. There are ways to grind rock (basalt) and add it to the soil for superior mineralization and that is known as rock dust.

The new tag line is taken from a monster thread over at Shakesville, where Liss has pissed off a bunch of totally awesum gamer dudez who don't like teh fat chix. A Sanity Watchers warning does apply there, though the thread is also fucking hilarious, so I recommend it for those who aren't feeling especially fragile.
Anyway, my very favorite comment has to be "lol your fat." That's all. I assume the totally awesum gamer dude meant to say, "I am laughing out loud because you're fat," but they don't seem to teach grammar in totally awesum gamer dude skool. So I prefer to take it as an imperative. Lol your fat, kiddies. Just go on and lol it 'til the cows come home.
P.S. If you're wondering why I didn't write about Fat Princess, that's why.

Published at Thursday, November 22nd, 2018 - 17:51:46 PM. Bedroom. By Alisz Schmitt.
This master bedroom is also quite simple in terms of interior décor. The room is slightly dark and this, in combination with the warm, earthy colors chosen for the décor, result in a very relaxing and cozy atmosphere. The simplicity of the lines, the beauty of the details and the rich textures all contribute to an overall simple and sophisticated look.
It should be simple, but it's not. Decorating a bedroom is more complicated then we usually think. It's not enough to just choose a bed and a storage unit and fit them in the same room. You have to pay attention to numerous other details. The whole décor needs to feel like a harmonious space and you need to carefully choose all the decorations and elements that complement the basic furniture pieces. Each person prefers certain characteristics and has a favorite style. We managed to select 10 of our favorite bedroom interior decors. We hope you share the same preferences or that you can at least find elements that you like in these examples.

As we enjoy the notion of a Harold Reynolds-hired private investigator snooping around Bristol asking Berman where, exactly, on the doll he would like to touch, we note that Harold, deep into his lawsuit against the network for firing him, has gone on the PR offensive, talking to some columnists this weekend, including Steve Kelley, an old favorite around these parts. Our favorite part of the chat:
"They have [sensitivity] classes at ESPN for things like this," Reynolds said. "But never in the 10 previous years I've been there have I ever had to go to one of those classes. The way they are, if they want to work with me on new interview techniques, if they want to show me a new studio, anything like that, they take me by the hand and walk me down the hall to the studio or the meeting room. You would think if they thought there was a problem, I would have had to go to one of those training sessions. But never, not one time ever, was I told to go to one of those classes."
Reynolds also said there never has been any language in his contract that warns about the consequences of inappropriate sexual behavior. Not even in the newest contract he signed in March.
"And there are guys who do have those things in their contracts," Reynolds said.
Oh, we're sure there are! We love — LOVE — the idea of different ESPN personalities having certain behavioral clauses written into their contracts. We suspect you can come up with some fun ones.

Very Satisfied. Michael is always on time, Michael has been doing all of the plumbing related to our remodel. He always does exactly what he commits to do within the estimated cost. He keeps me informed if any wrinkles pop up, and his plumbing skills are excellent as we have had no problems or issues arise after he has left. Very professional! Highly recommend.

We had other companies come out for estimates on what was considered a major job with jackhammers and replacing cast iron pipes under the house… having been stung before, we wanted another estimate just to make sure we were making an informed decision. The prior estimates went up to $21,000!
Bill Howe sent us an amazing veteran plumber, Dashawn and his co- worker Anthony. Dashawn did a thorough check of the problem, explained what he thought was needed … he did a final check and we were able to see for ourselves what was the problem. He recommended a complete cleaning to de-scale the pipes, and not the major work we dreaded. Thanks to his solid analysis and patience in making sure we saw what he saw, the issue was resolved completely, and saved us thousands of unnecessary work. None of the other estimates included the cleaning; only the major repairs. Thanks to Dashawn's knowledge, professionalism and honesty, we're Bill Howe customers.
August 2019
This was our second excellent experience with Bill Howe. We had a blocked kitchen sink drain 8/5. I was able to get a same day appointment which is AMAZING. Person on phone was very courteous and set me up right away. Tony arrived at the house (called me 30 minutes out so I was able to be ready). He diagnosed the issue (blocked drain, not the garbage compactor) and was able to snake it and ran the water for 10 minutes to be sure the drains were clear. He cleaned up everything and you would not have known he was even there. Thank-you Tony and Bill Howe, you always know how.
August 2019
Cory was our technician on this job. We had a time sensitive repair issue and Bill Howe understood and assisted with getting the job done quickly.
Cory was on time to start the job and finished it quickly. Upon his leaving our home he's was courteous, very knowledgeable, explaining what the problem was and how he fixed it. Very good communication and this is the way it's has always been when we use Bill Howe plumbing.
Great company to work with.
Thanks Cory.

I had a shower that would not drain. The employee arrived on time and fixed the problem quickly and effectively at a very fair price. I was very happy with everything. Thank you and I highly recommend your plumbing service.
January 2019
I am extremely happy with the service we received from Bill Howe Plumbing. We were given an incorrect diagnosis of our main sewer line from another vendor, but Bill Howe's servicemen came out for a second opinion, correctly diagnosed our problem and resolved our back up issues. We will continue to use Bill Howe for all our future plumbing needs!
Thank you Bill Howe Plumbing.

How to Use the Images
A stampeder might spend an entire day getting his gear to the top of this hill because he could only haul a portion of the heavy load at one time. He would have to store a load at the top and then retrace his steps to pick up another load. It often took many such trips before the miner was ready to start down the other side of the Chilkoot Pass.
Questions for Photo 5
1. Locate the Chilkoot Pass on Map 1.
2. What are some of the goods that these miners might be carrying on their backs?
3. What conditions did these stampeders face?
4. What do the men to the left of the trail appear to be doing?
* The image on the screen has a resolution of 72 dots per inch (dpi), and therefore will print poorly. You can obtain a high resolution version of Photo 5, but be aware that it will take about 30 seconds to load with a 28.8K modem.

"a jargon term for a particular form of stereotypy, a repetitive body movement (often done unconsciously) that self-stimulates one or more senses in a regulated manner. It is shorthand for self-stimulation, and a stereotypy is referred to as stimming under the hypothesis that it has a function related to sensory input."
The wikipedia article then goes on to propose some theories about the function of stimming and how it is designed to provide nervous system arousal. The theory being that it helps autistic people "normalize".
I'm not sure how much I believe that theory - I helps us relax and it feels good... but normalize?? Not sure.
The most commonly cited form of stimming is body rocking. Such is the prevalence of this form of stimming in Hollywood films concerning autism that you could be forgiven for thinking that autistic people stim by rocking most of the time.
How far does stimming go?
Stimming is much more than just rocking. It also includes;
- Hand Clasping
- Flapping
- Knee bobbing
- Finger Tapping or Drumming
- Spinning Toys
I'm going to go out on a limb on this one and suggest that stimming should also include a few other behaviors. The wikipedia article has already suggested that in some cases, stimming includes deliberate self-harm, such as cutting oneself and head banging.
I believe that stimming also includes the following;
- Making funny noises
- Facial Tics and expressions
- Certain types of singing, talking or babbling
- Nail (and finger) Biting
My eldest child is particularly bad with the vocal stimming. Especially first thing in the morning on a weekend when you're trying to get a little extra sleep.
How does it feel?
Stimming is often an involuntary thing and we aren't always aware that we're doing it. Personally, stimming by rocking is quite uncommon for me because this is socially unacceptable. I don't think I ever really needed this form of stimming much anyhow.
At its simplest, the stimming allows you to concentrate on sensitivity and relax the thinking parts of the brain. In an Aspie, being able to stop thinking, even for a short while, is bliss.
Stimming is a very good relaxant and this probably explains why it is more often seen in stressful situations.
Of course, it also feels good.
As a parent, should you try to stop stimming?
Not really... No. (well, sometimes).
I think it's fair to say that stopping stimming could lead to stress in a child and also that it could cause them to change to a less visible means of stimming, such as self-harm.
It's probably worthwhile videoing your child while stimming and letting them see what the undesirable behavior is. Perhaps you can get them to be more discreet. Remember though, that they won't always be aware that they're doing it at first.
If stimming behaviors are causing your children harm then you should discuss them with your paediatrician.

NEW YORK, Aug. 29 (UPI) -- Serena Williams and Victoria Azarenka, the 2012 U.S. Open finalists, breezed to second-round wins Thursday at this year's final major tournament.
Williams, No. 1 in the world and the defending Open champion, dispatched Galina Voskoboeva 6-3, 6-0 in 69 minutes. Later in the afternoon, Azarenka, ranked second, routed Aleksandra Wozniak 6-3, 6-1 in 68 minutes.
Williams had her match postponed because of rain Wednesday but had little trouble with Voskoboeva. Williams took 71 percent of the points when serving and faced one break point. She dropped only nine points in the second set.
Azarenka won the first five games against Wozniak, running her U.S. Open string to 17 consecutive games but then lost three games before closing out the first set. She broke Wozniak's serve seven times in eight receiving games.
Flavia Pennetta pulled off the biggest upset in the tournament Thursday, ousting Italian countrywoman Sara Errani 6-3, 6-1. The fourth-seeded Errani dropped serve six times and won only 38 percent of the points on serve.
Kurumi Nara posted another upset, beating 19th-seeded Sorana Cirstea 7-5, 6-1 while Karin Knapp eliminated No. 22 Elena Vesnina 6-1, 6-4 and Alison Riske ousted No. 28 Mona Barthel 6-4, 6-2.
No. 6 seed Caroline Wozniacki opened the evening session with a 6-1, 6-2 decision over Chanelle Scheepers. Seventh-seeded Petra Kvitova took out Bojana Jovanovski 6-2, 6-4; No. 8-seed Angelique Kerber advanced with a 6-4, 2-6, 6-3 decision over Eugenie Bouchard; No. 10 Roberta Vinci beat Lucie Safarova 4-6, 6-1, 6-2; 13th-seeded Ana Ivanovic topped Alexandra Dulgheru 6-2, 6-1; and 16th-seeded Sabine Lisicki defeated Paula Ormaechea 6-2, 6-3.
Other seeded players advancing to the third round were No. 9 Jelena Jankovic, No. 21 Simona Halep, 25th-seed Kaia Kanepi, No. 26 Alize Cornet and 27th-seeded Svetlana Kuznetsova.
Unseeded winners Thursday included Christine McHale and Yaroslava Shvedova, moving her into a third-round match versus Williams, who also won her first-round doubles match with sister Venus Thursday.
The women's draw got back on schedule with the completion of 24 matches Thursday, eight of them postponed from Wednesday.
