Slide behind the wheel of any contemporary car and more than likely you'll be faced with an instrument panel full of warning lights to indicate what catastrophe has already happened, or a great big gas gauge and an assortment of dials that seem to always be in the middle of the scale no matter what. Most modern cars supply the driver with more information about the climate control system and stereo than the engine.
To keep tabs on the operation of our blown Chrysler-powered Gasser, we wanted to have all the pertinent read-outs readily available. To do that we chose gauges from Auto Meter. One of the best-known names in the industry, Auto Meter has been in business for over 50 years, producing quality instruments that are second to none. They offer an unmatched variety of designs and styles, and if you're looking for something that is one of a kind, Auto Meter's Custom Shop can provide that as well.
For the race car vibe we were after we stopped looking at Auto Meter's options online when we found the Ultra-Lite II line of gauges. They have a no-nonsense look with a silver face, black numbers, and red pointers—at night the colors reverse, and as a result of "through the dial" LED lighting, the faces turn black with white numbers with glowing red pointers.
Our Plymouth's original dashboard was modified by covering all the original openings with sheetmetal. The new flat panel was then punched to place the speedometer, temperature, and oil pressure gauges positioned directly in front of the driver. The other instruments: vacuum/boost, volts, fuel level, fuel pressure, and an air/fuel ratio mounted to the right. Of course the tachometer is mounted in the classic spot up top.
Types of Gauges
While instruments are often chosen on the basis of their appearance, there are a number of differences in the way they operate as well.
Mechanical Gauges
The operation of mechanical gauges hasn't changed much over the years. Inside there is what's called a bourdon tube—patented in France in 1849 by Eugene Bourdon, it's a flattened tube shaped like a C. Pressure, which may be oil from the engine, ether in a bulb, and tubing in the case of a temperature gauge, causes the tube to straighten slightly (vacuum gauges work in a similar way). The tip of the tube is hooked to a link and gears that are calibrated to move the needle to provide a reading.
Auto Meter's mechanical gauges use a bronze bourdon tube for precisely calibrated 270-degree sweep movements. These mechanical gauges require no electrical power for operation, making them an ideal choice for vehicles with no- or low-powered electrical systems.
Liquid Filled
Designed for durability, Auto Meter's liquid filled mechanical gauges use 270-degree sweep Pro-Comp mechanical gauge movements filled with a liquid silicone compound for extreme vibration dampening and smooth pointer movement. These gauges are proven to give steady and accurate readings in the harshest of competition environments, including NHRA Top Fuel Funny Car, Baja 1000, Off-Shore Marine, and on the Bonneville Salt Flats.
Short Sweep Electric
Auto Meter's Kris Carlson describes these gauges as calibrated ohmmeters. There are two components to an electric instrument: the gauge and the sender. Housed in the gauge is an indicator needle that is attached to an armature that turns inside coils of wire. When current is supplied to the instrument it flows through a series of windings and then to what's called a sender (it may be pressure, temperature, or fuel level) that is grounded. As the current flows through the windings it creates a magnetic field that causes the armature to turn (which moves the needle). How far the needle moves is dependent on current flow through the coils, which is controlled by the sender.
Electric gauges have a number of advantages. The sending units keep hazardous fluids out of the passenger compartment. As electric gauges and senders are calibrated to work together they must be matched.
Full Sweep Electric
The obvious advantage to these gauges is the easy-to-read 270-degree movement, but there is a considerable amount of technology hidden inside. Auto Meter's full sweep electric gauges use stepper motor drives controlled by a micro-processor and very precise senders.
A stepper motor is a device with a shaft that moves a precise number of degrees based on electrical input. When used in an instrument the indicator needle is attached to the shaft, then based on information from the sender, the micro-processor updates input to the motor and the needle deflects accordingly.
These LED illuminated gauges use microprocessors to control the displays. Very precise with a high-tech look, these gauges are for those who want exact numeric readings.
There are three types of speedometers: cable drive, electronic, and the latest GPS driven.
A big disadvantage to cable drives is calibrating the speedometer can be difficult, not to mention the fact that most contemporary transmissions don't have the drive to operate them. Electronic speedometers are easy to dial in and can be adapted to early transmission. The most common complaint is that the odometers usually have digital readouts, which some feel are out of place in a traditional car.
Auto Meter now offers their Universal GPS Speedometer Interface Module (PN 5289). This unit allows nearly any electric speedometer to use free GPS signals to drive the speedo. For Auto Meter speedometers, installation is a plug-and-play. Calibration, with non–Auto Meter speedometers, is simple and doesn't require driving.
Gauge Installation Tips
Installing mechanical gauges is simple enough. The important factors are using the proper fittings and tubing and routing lines safely to prevent damage of any kinks. When using rigid tubing a vibration loop may prevent cracking.
When it comes to electrical instruments the most common problems are proper grounding and poor connections. Poor connections will add to the resistance in the circuit, which may result in erroneous gauge readings. Grounding-type sensors should never be wrapped in Teflon tape for the same reason (paste that won't interfere with grounding should be used).
Another sure way to ensure an electric gauge won't function correctly is to use the wrong sender. The gauge and sender must be compatible to provide accurate readings.

Call 'em the comeback crew.
Republican Sen. Dan Coats of Indiana and Democratic Sen. Frank Lautenberg of New Jersey served years in the Senate, bowed out because of a term-limits promise or the frustration of endless fundraising and then discovered they couldn't quit the place.
Pleas from party leaders and the opportunity to revise and extend their legacies lured them back. Now in their second acts, at age 68 and 88, respectively, they could be joined by former Democratic Sen. Bob Kerrey, who left Washington in January 2001.
Kerrey, who was Nebraska's governor and two-term senator, faces an uphill fight in trying to win the seat that Democrat Ben Nelson is leaving at the end of the year. Nebraska is a strong Republican state — John McCain beat Barack Obama 57-42 percent in the 2008 presidential race — and outside groups already have labeled Kerrey a carpetbagger who spent the past decade as an academic in New York City.
The decorated former Navy Seal remains undeterred about coming back to a fiercely divided Washington.
"Maybe Olympia Snowe is right: You've got terminal dysfunction and there's nothing that can be done about it," said Kerrey, referring to the moderate Maine GOP senator who just decided against another campaign. "But you tend to be more optimistic about being able to get something done about it when you're on the outside rather than on the inside. ... When you're out, there's a tendency to believe — and I do — that you can make a difference."
Bitter partisanship has stifled plenty of agendas and made Congress an unattractive destination for many, especially with lawmakers held in such low standing. Still, the nation's growing list of problems, from a trillion-plus deficit to salvaging costly entitlement programs, push politicians back to Washington.
"I have to find a Republican that I trust won't cut and run when the heat from their interest group gets turned up and start with him, work with him and stay with him all the way through the end," Kerrey said of tackling the longstanding problems.
Coats served for a decade, from 1989 to 1999, then was ambassador to Germany in George W. Bush's administration and a Washington lobbyist. About two years ago, Republican Sen. John Cornyn of Texas called him about possible candidates with statewide name recognition to run against Sen. Evan Bayh, then a formidable Democratic incumbent with more than $14 million in his campaign account. Coats offered several names; Cornyn said he didn't bother to ask the former senator because it was unlikely he'd come back.
Coats said it was a "put up or shut up" moment. "I thought this is a way to move from kind of yelling at the TV in a frustrated way over what was happening in Washington to get back in the arena and try to do something about it," he said in an interview.
Bayh decided against another bid, Coats survived a tough GOP primary and then easily won the seat in November 2010.
Lautenberg left the Senate in January 2001 after 18 years. Then came Sept. 11 and the terrorist attacks.
"I realized I made a mistake. With my experience, I'm not there, the war is starting, the recession's starting," Lautenberg said in an interview. "I missed it terribly. I felt helpless."
The ethical woes of former New Jersey Sen. Robert Torricelli forced him to abandon his bid in 2002. Democrats scrambled for a replacement and ensured that Lautenberg got on the ballot. He won handily and in the last decade, has fought against privatization of the air traffic control system and pushed for tighter security at seaports and airports.
All told, 35 senators have served nonconsecutive terms since 1913, an illustrious list that includes Republican Barry Goldwater, who reclaimed an Arizona Senate seat in 1969, four years after losing the presidency, and Minnesota Democrat Hubert Humphrey, who resigned in December 1964 to become vice president, ran unsuccessfully for president in 1968 and returned to the Senate in 1971.
In the 2.0 version of Goldwater, he led the Senate Armed Services Committee and joined forces with Rep. Bill Nichols, D-Ala., on the Goldwater-Nichols Act of 1986, a major reorganization of the military's command structure. Humphrey, along with Rep. Augustus Hawkins, D-Calif., pushed for economic legislation embracing full employment and price stability. President Jimmy Carter signed it into law in 1978.
Return engagements are hardly easy, and they weren't exactly smooth for Coats and Lautenberg. Coats faced criticism for not knowing how much he made as a lobbyist and questions about his residency; Lautenberg had to answer for the greased path that allowed him to replace Torricelli despite New Jersey rules.
Kerrey is now a frequent flyer to Nebraska from his home in New York where his wife, screenwriter Sarah Paley, and young son, Henry, live. He hasn't run statewide since 1994 and will have to introduce himself to voters who only recognize the name from Omaha's popular pedestrian bridge spanning the Missouri River.
"Honestly, before his name started being floated as a Senate candidate, all I had heard of him was that he was a former senator and his name was on the pedestrian bridge," said Eric Hansen, a 21-year-old political science major at Creighton University in Omaha.
Kerrey lost part of his right leg in Vietnam and earned the Congressional Medal of Honor. He was governor from 1983-87 and ran for president in 1992. During his post-Senate tenure, he served on the 9/11 Commission and was president of the New School University in New York.
David Kramer, the former Nebraska GOP chairman and 2006 Senate candidate who has been involved in state politics for 30 years, said Republicans will try to define Kerrey for the voters. Outside groups have used radio ads to cast him as a Greenwich Village New Yorker.
"On some levels, I think it's to his advantage to be able to reintroduce himself, because he'll get to define what issues he wants to define himself on," said Kramer, who remembered a "young, single man who dated Debra Winger, and he had that 'it' factor."
Fellow Democrat Chuck Hassebrook stepped aside this week, clearing the way for Kerrey who initially had passed on another bid. Kerrey said if elected, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., would honor his previous 12 years, but with no promise based on seniority. Assignments on Armed Services and Agriculture are likely.
Said Republican Coats: "You're legacy is not going to be what you were before. Your legacy is going to be what you did when you were faced with some really tough choices.'

Hi guys. I'm after a bit of assistance. I've got an '06 Z1000.
I just went and bought some shiny new Vesrah pads for my bike, using the Vesrah website to figure out which ones would fit. When I went to fit them, the old pads are completely different to the new ones.
The bike had been dropped before I got it and the guy who had it did replaced some parts, including it would seem seems, the front brakes.
Here are some pics showing my brakes and old pads and the new pads I've got.
I want to figure out what pads I need to buy that will fit these calipers. Does anyone have any idea what they might be?
Also, anyone want to buy some brand new, in box, Vesrah pads?
Thanks in advance!

Check out the promo below.
ABC says Movie: The Movie, 2V is the next biggest, most star-studded and spectacular non-existent film the world has ever seen.
Check out the poster...
Will the sequel live up to the original? We'll find out when it makes its world premiere during the episode that airs on Sunday, February 24 at 10:00 p.m. PT on ABC.

These two paragraphs from a story on the looming sequestration perfectly illuminate why people hate Congress:
Republicans have become more reluctant to pass legislation that will almost certainly be dead on arrival in the Democratic-led Senate, and they want to force senators to take the sort of tough votes they believe happened in the House over the last two years.
Rank-and-file Republicans are frustrated that Senate Democrats have not approved a budget resolution for four years, and they lashed out at Obama this week for missing his deadline to present a budget this year. Democrats in the Senate haven't produced a budget for fear it would expose splits in the party. The GOP is also frustrated because it views sequestration as the White House's idea.

(1) Description of service
Welcome to the Nordic Tech List!
The Nordic Tech List ("NTL") is a site for all the facts, figures and news about the Nordic Tech ecosystems. The site is built on a graph database that includes startups, investors and people involved in Nordic Tech. The aim of NTL is to grow the Nordic Tech ecosystem both locally and internationally by creating an online platform for everything Nordic Tech. The goal is to become the first choice resource for all of the facts, figures and news about the Nordic Tech ecosystem. The NTL graph database is constantly growing from all of the data and information provided by users, investors and journalists.
Getting started - paying a fee and register for an account
NTL is owned and fully funded by Dagens industri AB org no 556221-8494, BOX 34110, 100 26 Stockholm Sweden, (hereafter "Di" or "We"). Access to the Nordic Tech List ("the Service") require that you enter into an agreement with Di by paying a monthly fee and register as a user.

Here is what I understand:
They will not listen to the UN
They have made some overt comments about Isreal
Thet are laughing at Nuke discussions
They are buying alot of weapons
And now this? Move Jews to Europe? Anything else on your menu?
I fear there is a "squeeze play" coming.
What would you do? Is this about Islam making a statement?
And this?

For six days and counting now, hundreds of protesters have gathered outside the White House to demand President Obama intervene and stop the construction of an oil pipeline that will span the breadth of the United States — from Montana to the Gulf of Mexico. Over 300 of them have been arrested — and not just wild-eyed idealistic college students, but high-profile advocates including environmental leader Bill McKibben. Despite all this, the administration says this is a question for Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
What the heck is this all about?
At issue isn't just NIMBYism or standard concerns about oil spills, but the question of whether the United States should accelerate an extraction process that some environmental experts say will lose the fight against global warming forever.The oil in question comes from the Canadian oil sands — or tar sands, as opponents refer to it. It's not just regular oil, but highly corrosive and particularly carbon intensive. The process of extracting the oil from the sands is more energy intensive than drilling for crude. It entails destruction of Canada's Boreal forest, which serves as a carbon sink, making this particular resource extraction a global warming double whammy.
And there's tons of it — perhaps as much as 200 billion barrels-worth.
NASA climatologist James Hansen, who's been sounding the climate change alarm for years, objects to the project particularly for this latter reason. "An overwhelming objection is that exploitation of tar sands would make it implausible to stabilize climate and avoid disastrous global climate impacts," he wrote in June.
Canadians can do what they want with their oil in Canada, and there's little American protesters can do to stop them. But the protesters don't want to help them along in the process, and that's why they're fighting the Keystone XL pipeline construction, which also entails risk to U.S. land and water. And they make a good case. The existing Keystone XL line has leaked over and over again in its first year of operation.
For that reason, opposition to the construction is creating some strange bedfellows. Sen. Mike Johanns (R-NE) opposes the project, which threatens the Sandhill regions and the Ogallala aquifer, which provides drinking water to the vast majority of Nebraskans.
In a June letter, the EPA raised concerns both about the risk of spills, and the larger greenhouse gas problem. But the wheels here were set in motion under the Bush administration. Because the pipeline would cross an international border, the final say goes to the State Department, which is expected to weigh in on the environmental soundness of the project as early as Friday, and give a green or red light by the end of the year.
But activists won't let President Obama get away with silently assenting to this project.
"The decision-making authority is solely the president's," Michael Brune, executive director of the Sierra Club, told other environmental groups on a Thursday conference call, according to Bloomberg. "It will be increasingly difficult to mobilize the environmental base and to mobilize in particular young people to volunteer, to knock on thousands of doors, to put in 16-hour days, to donate money when they don't think the president is showing the courage to stand up to big polluters."
This is one to keep an eye on.
Update: 1:38pm Eastern – The State Department has now released its final environmental impact statement for the proposed tar sands pipeline. The Natural Resources Defense Council distributed an email saying, "the final statement still lacks a number of in-depth safety and pollution studies, despite a claim from the Obama administration that the pipeline would have 'no significant impacts.'"

I know, the blog has been quiet for the past week. In addition to that pesky day job, I've been pretty busy cleaning up after the break-in and trying to keep up with the lessons for my NGS Home Study Course.
An Update
So far I've submitted my first two lessons and I'm working on my third. I figure if I average about 3 weeks per lesson, I'll be finished within a year. I'm not resting on my laurels though -- I just know that the further into the lessons I get, the harder they will be and the longer they will take.
Some Genealogical Kindness
In the mail this week, I received a copy of my great grandparents' marriage license/certificate and a copy of their marriage application from the Posey County Clerk's Office. I was fortunate enough to meet Connie, one of the genealogists on-staff at the Clerk's Office, while I was in Birmingham for the FGS conference in August. She has gone above and beyond the call of duty trying to get information for me about my Crowe family. I can't wait until next year when I stop in Evansville/Mt. Vernon to visit Connie on my way to Ft. Wayne!
A Bit of Thievery
I totally stole this idea for an Ancestor Blogging Jar from Marion at A Couple of Whiles. I plan to use this when I can't seem to think of anything for the blog. If nothing else, it will help me get to know my ancestors.
Baby Giraffe
Incidentally, (thanks to my cousin) I've also become obsessed with watching the impending delivery of a baby giraffe - the offspring of Autumn and Walter, two Masai giraffes - at the Greenville Zoo in South Carolina. I started watching her on Thursday night, and she still hasn't had that baby. You'd think after 15 months, she would just get it over with. I have discovered a lot of information that I never knew about giraffes though, so at least I'm learning something, right?
Do we share any ancestors?
Please email me at lostancestors [at] gmail [dot] com

Ok so I have a problem and it is:
The Fibonacci numbers Fn are defined as follows. F0 is 1, F1 is 1, and
Fi+2 = Fi + Fi+1
i = 0, 1, 2, ... . In other words, each number is the sum of the previous two numbers. The first few Fibonacci numbers are 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, and 8. One place where these numbers occur is as certain population growth rates. If a population has no deaths, then the series shows the size of the population after each time period. It takes an organism two time periods to mature to reproducing age, and then the organism reproduces once every time period. The formula applies most straightforwardly to asexual reproduction at a rate of one offspring per time period. In any event, the green crud population grows at this rate and has a time period of five days. Hence, if a green crud population starts out as 10 pounds of crud, then in five days there is still 10 pounds of crud; in ten days there is 20 pounds of crud, in fifteen days 30 pounds, in twenty days 50 pounds, and so forth. Write a program that takes both the initial size of a green crud population (in pounds) and a number of days as input, and outputs the number of pounds of green crud after that many days. Assume that the population size is the same for four days and then increases every fifth day. Your program should allow the user to repeat this calculation as often as desired.
For my code I have this:
import java.util.*;
public class Assignment36 {
public static void main(String a[]) {
int initialWeight,numberOfDays;
boolean check = true;
Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.print("Enter the initial size of a green crud population (in pounds):");
initialWeight = sc.nextInt();
System.out.print("Enter the number of days:");
numberOfDays = sc.nextInt();
System.out.println("The size of the population after "+numberOfDays+" days is "+calculateFinal(initialWeight,numberOfDays)+" pounds.");
System.out.println("Do you want to repeat the calculation with different values? (y/n):");
public static int calculateFinal(int initialWeight,int numberOfDays)
int fLength = numberOfDays/5;
int one=1,two=1,three=0;
for(int i=1;i<=fLength-1;i++)
three = one+two;
one = two;
two =three;
return initialWeight*three;
But when I run it nothing is showing up. I'm using Netbeans IDE, maybe that has something to do with it?
An example of what is supposed to show up is something like:
Enter the initial size of a green crud population (in pounds): 10
Enter the number of days: 24
The size of the population after 24 days is 50 pounds.
Do you want to repeat the calculation with different values? (y/n): n
But so far all I'm getting is:
Enter the initial size of a green crud population (in pounds):
If someone can help me with this it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Facebook friends get out the vote in large numbers
WASHINGTON (AP) — Here's something most politicians can "like".
A new study suggests Facebook friends may have played a significant role in getting hundreds of thousands of people to vote in the last congressional election.
Researchers found that Facebook users who got messages on Election Day that their friends had voted were a bit more likely to go to the polls than those who didn't get the same reminder.
They say the effect multiplied and likely increased turnout by as many as 340,000 voters in 2010.
Outside experts say the new study fits with other research on get-out-the-vote drives. But they say the numbers may be a bit high.
The study is reported in Thursday's issue of the journal Nature.

Meteor Shower is the newest shirt from the brand designed solely by college students, ReThink Clothing. "Outer space has and always will be fascinating and full of mystery. With the discovery of dark matter, black holes, new galaxies and a ton of cool stuff these mysteries are unraveled. This shirt might also help unravel one more mystery, how astronauts (maybe some cosmonauts) stay clean in the final frontier."
I should also note that this marks the first shirt from ReThink Clothing that features a printed inside neck label. The shirt comes in two colorways, purple and heather gray and is printed on an American Apparel blank. Both colorways are available now for $19.99 but you can save an additional 20% by using the coupon code "COTY" at checkout and you can save even more if you use the coupon code "BACK" by August 24!
I really like the design of this particular shirt and prefer the purple colorway over the heather version. And I am super stoked that ReThink switched to tagless shirts and preferring to screenprint the neck label. Now, if only I could take a meteor shower for real. If you had the opportunity to fly out into space, would you go?

On Wednesday, January 3, the Portland City Council unanimously approved an ordinance prohibiting the use of synthetic pesticides on most City and private property. The ordinance will go into effect for City properties in July 2018 and for private properties in January 2019.
"This is an important first step in reducing the use of pesticides in the City of Portland, which will help us safeguard the overall health of our citizens, our waterways, and our food systems," said Councilor Spencer Thibodeau, Chair of the Sustainability and Transportation Committee. "This represents the culmination of two years of hard work. I appreciate Councilor Mavodones' leadership on the Pesticide and Fertilizer Task Force and the work of Councilors Duson and Ray who helped craft the ordinance presented to the City Council."
"I want to first thank the Task Force and the members of the Sustainability and Transportation Committee for the time they spent on this issue," said Mayor Ethan Strimling. "As Maine's largest city, I am very proud that we have joined the nationwide movement to rid these unneeded chemicals from our environment. Enacting this ordinance will protect Portland's families, children, pets, wildlife and visitors from exposure to toxic chemicals. A very important step as we continue to improve the quality of life for all Portland residents."
In June, the Sustainability and Transportation Committee began reviewing an ordinance proposed by the Pesticide and Fertilizer Task Force as well as the ordinance adopted by the City of South Portland. During the course of their work they held two public hearings and a panel discussion in order to receive input from a variety of stakeholders including lawn care companies, an expert in organic land management, and concerned residents.
The purpose of the ordinance is to safeguard the health and welfare of residents and protect the City's waterways and natural resources by prohibiting the use of synthetic pesticides except for certain limited circumstances. It will establish a Pesticide Management Oversight Committee (the PMAC) tasked with developing and distributing materials designed to educate residents, businesses, and retailers about the ordinance and landscaping practices that do not require pesticides.
The PMAC will also be responsible for creating an annual report to the Sustainability and Transportation Committee about their education and outreach efforts, an analysis of data collected from licensed applicators, and any use of City property. A subcommittee of this group will be responsible for responding to requests from individuals who believe they have a situation that requires the use of a prohibited pesticide and are requesting a waiver. Such waivers will only be granted in situations that are an emergency, that threaten public health, safety, and welfare, or to control invasive species that pose a threat to the environment.
Enacting this ordinance will align the City of Portland with other communities including South Portland, Ogunquit, and Tacoma Park, Maryland, that restrict the use of synthetic pesticides in order to minimize chemical exposure to residents, pets, and wildlife.

The structure of DNA deduced by James Watson and Francis Crick in 1953 was one of the most significant scientific discoveries of the 20th century. Fifteen years later, Watson wrote The Double Helix, his classic account of the discovery. It was something new, a description of science in action written not as a formal autobiography or a measured history, but in the voice of a brash, ambitious young man who knew the big question in biology and wanted the answer.
In this edition, Watsons text is unchanged, but Alex Gann and Jan Witkowski have added over three hundred annotations on the events and characters portrayed, with facsimile letters and contemporary photographs, many previously unpublished. Their sources include newly discovered correspondence from Crick, the papers of Franklin, Pauling, and Wilkins, and they include a chapter dropped from the original edition.
The Double Helix is recognized by the Library of Congress as A Book That Shaped America. This new edition, published to mark the 50th anniversary of the Nobel Prize for Watson, Crick, and Wilkins, and the 60th anniversary of the discovery itself, adds depth and richness to one of the most famous stories in science.
The Double Helix is the best book I know about a scientific discovery—this new edition suffuses the whole with social history, fascinating documentation, photography, and cunning background research. The early fifties, the beginning of the modern age of molecular biology, spring to life. —Ian McEwan, author of Atonement
The Double Helix is an extraordinary book: a thrilling, novelistic account of one of the most surprising of all scientific discoveries. This new edition draws upon a remarkable and eclectic archive of information to bring to life the stories of those who found the secret of life. Matt Ridley, author of Genome and Francis Crick
Classic works of literature from Herodotuss Histories to Alice in Wonderland and The Waste Land have received the honor of annotated editions. The Double Helix richly deserves admittance to this hall of fame.
The New York Times
Is there ever a good reason to reissue a good story? In the case of The Double Helix, the answer is emphatically yes....The production values of the new edition are gorgeous, which adds to the fun of fully understanding the world of the protagonists and their professional and personal quests....The result is simply fabulous. This is a page-turner for the scientist and does the original work great credit. Hats off to the editors, who were inspired by Sydney Brenner to pull the history together in all of its color. There is no question that they have succeeded in delivering a work that not only memorializes and contextualizes the discovery of DNA, but does so in its own highly appreciate way....
Id definitely recommend this edition of The Double Helix. If you're going to read the book, this is the way it ought to be read.
Boing Boing
Annotated to clear up abiding mysteries...this is a sampler of rare treats.
The classic Double Helix (1968) is here again, this time annotated and illustrated and told in all the bold, brash, bumptious style that has become Watsons...trademark in the intervening years....What makes this version so rewarding is the fact that editors Gann and Witkowski have wonderfully put the pursuit in context....But context also means scenery and lifestyle: the pub lunches, the girl-chasing, the films, dances, ski trips and holidays in storied mansions that Watson so adored....Readers old or new are in for a fine treat; there really has been nothing in the history of science writing comparable to Watsons tell-all memoir.
Kirkus Reviews
...adds color and context to Watsons account.
Boston Globe
...the lavish annotations in this definitive edition, with five generous appendices full of documents, open a wholly new dimension on the story....Among the many rewards that this greatly enriched edition of Watsons famous success de scandale contains are an additional chapter (not scandalous), deleted from the original, and especially a profusion of photographs...This splendid volume, to conclude, is richly laden with instruction and entertainment for all, whether the historian, scientist or voyeur.
Current Biology
Last week saw a 50th-anniversary celebration in Stockholm of the Nobel Prize for the discovery of DNAs structure....A remarkable new book, The Annotated and Illustrated Double Helix [is] edited by Alex Gann and Jan Witkowski. The books text is Dr. Watsons original and brilliant novelistic account of how the discovery was made, but Drs. Gann and Witkowski have added photos, extracts of letters and footnotes to fill out the picture, in the process vindicating almost all of Watsons characterizations....
Wall Street Journal, 2012 Holiday Gift books
Watsons 1968 account of the race to identify the structure of DNA remains one of the best science memoirs ever written. This new annotated edition features letters, photographs and other documents from the period of Watson, Francis Crick and Maurice Wilkinss Nobel Prize-winning discovery. In one letter, Franklin confides to a friend that she finds many of her colleagues positively repulsive.
Recommended books by Scientific American
...this edition adds new life with images, letters and hand-drawn diagrams.
Books to delight the scientifically curious, from New Scientist
This is, simply, a must have a collectors item.
The Scientist
Richly annotated and almost obsessively illustrated with snapshots, scanned documents, and reprintings of previously published material, the book invites a slower, perhaps more reflective reading of Watsons page-turner. The best of the marginalia make Watsons narrative even more vivid and clarify both the story and the science.

While Dwight Howard may once again be the sexy pick because of the blocks and rebounds, the team success and floor time statistics weigh heavily toward Kevin Garnett. "Per Game" statistics also push towards Dwight Howard, but many would argue it's because of Dwight's extended minutes.
Let's break this down by the numbers...
The first statistic i want to look at is Individual Defensive Rating. Defensive Rating is how many points your opponant would score if you gave them 100 possessions. So the lower the number, the better the defense. Kevin Garnett is currently leading the league with a 94.3, while Dwight is positioned in second with a 94.5. While it's extremely close, i'd chalk this up to a KG victory.
The 2nd statistic is Defensive Rebounding Percentage. DRB% is the percentage of available defensive rebounds a player grabs while on the court. Every time the opponent misses a shot that miss is considered a potential defensive rebound, when in the game Dwight Howard grabs 30.1% of those while KG grabs 29.4%. The nod goes to Dwight.
Next on the list is a combination of two different statistics. Very similar to the Defensive Rating there is also a Team Defensive Rating. By looking at a team's Defensive Rating with and without a particular player, you can see the impact that player has on the team defense. The Boston Celtics with KG on the floor have a Defensive Rating of 98.5. The Orlando Magic with Dwight have a rating of 103.8. Now this shows that Boston is the better defensive team, but it's also rating Orlando's poor defenders that share the floor with Dwight, so we'll now take a look at the ratings without the two. Boston's Defensive rating takes a serious dive without The Big Ticket, it goes from 98.5 with him to 105.6, that's a drop off of 7. Orlando's rating doesn't drop off nearly as violently, technically it actually improves. Orlando is a 103.8 with their defensive leader and 103.1 without him. This is undoubtedly a statistic in KG's favor.
The last factor is taking a look at how much each of these big men improve the play of their teammates. KG's impact on the Celtics has been undeniable. He's changed the attitude of the Celtics since coming to The Hub in 2007, added a defensive swagger. Simply put- Garnett makes his teammates great defenders by raising their individual defense- he does this not only by playing beside them on the court, but also by pushing them to improve in practice. As a result of KG's presence, Boston has 3 other Celtics who rank in the top 20 for individual Defensive Rating (Rondo, Pierce, Davis). Dwight Howard on the other hand is there by himself. This may be the statistic that pushes KG over the top.
Do you think KG should be the NBA's 2011 Defensive Player Of The Year?

Not sure if he'll get it, but it'd be nice to see him on the 1st Defensive Team again this year as opposed to last year, where I don't think he made either.
Jesse Dampolo says:
I don't think he would have deserved it last year, he really wasn't himself. If The Celtics can finish best in the East i think It'd be hard not to give it to him, esspecially since the Magic have taken a step back.
Dwight is often in against better competition for Orlando. Generally when he is on the bench for any extended period of time is when the game is out of hand for Orlando, or when the other team's best scorers are on the bench as well. KG is certainly in the discussion and imo will make the All Defensive First Team, though.
Jenda says:
More important should be the position. Dwight Howard is a center and there isn't really any other dominant center as of now, while KG has to defend Stoudamire, Boozer, Duncan, Griffin and on and on...
.chuckT. says:
Agree w/Jenda. KG defends tougher opponents game after game.
I think KG will be the 2011 Defensive Player of the Year. He was on top of the list for ESPN's predictions for DPOY.
I would be surprised of he didnt win it.
Another thing - KG won Defensive Player of the Year in 2008, and the Celtics won the title.
(Celtics) Defense wins Championships.
Jon says:
not only does KG bring defense to the floor, but he also brings intensity. boston is undeniably the best team in the league with him at full strength as well as the rest of the team. i'm willing to bet money that if the whole team stayed healthy all season, we'd still have less than 10 losses right now.

The Bears' passing game? Just like big-boy offenses.
The Bears' running game? Looks like third-and-1 is no longer their version of clown college.
The Bears' pass rush? Look at you, Israel Idonije, finally racking up sacks the way someone playing opposite Julius Peppers ought to.
The Bears' safety play? Stop right there and get back to the good stuff that came out of the practice game against Washington.
The passing game immediately produced what everyone waited to see: Jay Cutler to Brandon Marshall. After that, Cutler completed passes to targets that were open, and some that weren't, and it was beautiful.
The rushing game provided the precise reason that Michael Bush was brought here: to pick up every and-1 for one of the worst third-and-1 teams in the league last season. Bush produced two red zone touchdowns Saturday, one with a stunning bit of footwork. He's going to swoop in on those chances, so, keep that in mind, fantasy owner, and draft Mike Trout.
The blocking, especially at left tackle, was better, but Brian Orakpo was injured early, so we still don't have the conclusive answer we'll get during Giantpocalypse on Friday night. The Super Bowl champs have what they call a NASCAR unit where they put four defensive ends on the line in pass-rushing situations and dare you to do something about it.
In all, so much good stuff came out of Saturday's exhibition game.
However, so much season-killing fear came out of the safety position.
I'm trying to be Stevie Sunshine here because I'm a pleaser, not a teaser, but sorry, there's a dark cloud hanging back there. The Bears have an I problem at safety: injury, ineptitude, inability to coach 'em up to something above uh-oh levels.
Chris Conte suffered a right shoulder injury and was last seen with his arm in a sling, which unfortunately might stand as the Bears' symbol if this season collapses.
Brandon Hardin, the guy who was drafted pre-injured, left nearly permanently injured Saturday night. After a miserable tackle attempt in which he led with his head down, Hardin needed to be carted off. He was released from the hospital Sunday and said he'll be OK. Yes. Well. There's no belief that Hardin can diagnose as a doctor any better than he can tackle as a safety.
Even before the injury, Hardin represented another silly draft choice that made you think Jerry Angelo was still around. Hardin missed all of last season because he had a broken shoulder. The Bears like their draft choices pre-injured; Hardin came inert for a full season. Phil Emery out-Angelo'd Angelo.
Maybe it's me, but a guy who didn't play all year figured to have problems with tackling technique, which is not something the Bears practice, which is how you go from the field to the emergency room. So Bears. So Bears safety.
Major Wright remains available, at least until his next injury, and there will be one, believe me, probably this week. If not, there will be bad angles taken and big plays behind him. Fun.
The steadiest safety back there probably is Craig Steltz, a big hitter at strong safety who takes too long to to get there at free safety or else he'd be starting.
Nobody who let scrub Kirk Cousins march the Redskins down the field could believe the depth chart holds a surprise starter. A forced starter, maybe. But a surprise who earns it? Nope.
I mean, Anthony Walters has moved up to third on the Bears' list of healthy safeties. I don't know if he can start. I don't think the Bears know. One thing we all know, however, is that the pressure would be on Peppers and Idonije to make sure nobody finds out.
That's some scouting report, huh?
You already knew this is an ongoing problem for the Bears --- this position with these coaches with every draft class. Such a characterization would hold true even if Conte, Hardin and eventually Wright weren't injured. The injuries just make it worse, and after living through the likes of Al Afalava as a starter, who believed that position could be worse?
The Choice (and remember, death is not an option): The Bears' list of safeties since Mike Brown's departure or the Bears' list of quarterbacks during Brett Favre's Packers career?
Remember, we're talking about the second-most important position in coach Lovie Smith's beloved Tampa-2 defensive scheme. Defensive tackle comes first with pressure up the middle. Then comes safety, swooping in on passes thrown sooner and sloppier to vulnerable receivers than the pressured quarterback intended.
Smith knows this, so how come he can't get the position right?

Happens all the time in the hood.
If it's murder the killer would get prosecuted. If it was self defense the shooter will go free. Just like Zimmerman. That's the way our justice system works.
the justice system always works because juries are always perfect
it is obvious you are a troll.
I've been on this site longer than you. I know a troll post when I see one. You've trolled me on a couple of threads. Pleas go away if you have nothing to contribute.
you are a moron go hang out on the democratic party chat boards.
Nope, no democrats for me. Stormfront is much more entertaining. I see this forum and Stormfront as being most radical opposites in the scheme of things. You can learn a lot by listening to the nut job fringe on both the right and left
Or this instead:
Solution: end stand your ground laws
Sad story, but it has nothing to do with stand-your-ground. Do you understand what SYG is?
Yeah, I was just mocking bensdad. He's had an "epiphany" and thinks that SYG is responsible for all gun homicides.
Drug deal, just sayin'... with an illegal weapon. That'd be my guess.
I agree but bensdad seems to think that syg is behind all gun deaths. Unless, of course, he only cares about black youths being shot when it can be used to advance his racial/political agenda.
But that would be a terrible thing to do.
Some are under the impression that establishment America is not compassionate; that they are not tolerant enough. Others believe that never ending tolerance will indefinitely permit the sale of that which incites the cynic as justly profitable. But I worry just the same.
Your cartoons are becoming more insulting by the day.
they are not mine - but thank you anyway
but I must admit, I am curious
who are they insulting ? you? alec, nra, koch, norquist, mcconnel, boehner, rand paul, paul ryan , darryl issa ?
None of the things you listed.
Figure it out.
Do YOU find them insulting because you are not bright enough to understand them?

Union Township Fire Station 49 was rededicated July 9 after a renovation that will result in shorter responses, said Chief Stan Deimling.
The renovation was originally begun to heighten the roof to accommodate an aerial truck, and ended up with the construction of a new roof, expansion of bay areas, and some interior work.
Deimling said that the addition of more interior doors will lead to shorter response times because, no matter where firefighters are in the building, they will always be within 10 steps of a door leading to the bays.
"That translates to shorter response times and quicker service to people wee're trying to save," Deimling said.
The project kicked off in late 2017 and modernized the building that was originally built in 1956, lost to an explosion in December of that year, and rebuilt in 1957.
Station 49 has served the northern part of Union Township since that time, accounting for 32 percent all township fire and emergency service runs in 2017.
Cutting the ribbon are, from left to right:
Ohio State Representative John Becker; Union Township Trustee John McGraw; Fire Chief Stanley G. Deimling, Union Township Chairman of the Board Robert McGee; and Union Township Firefighter/paramedic Franco Delzotti, member of the Cincinnati Emerald Society Police and Fire Pipes and Drums and president of Union Township Professional Firefighters Local 3412.

The EFCA has adopted its Multiannual Work Programme for 2014-2018 and the Annual Work Programme at the meeting of the Administrative Board held on 15 of October 2013. Moreover, the budget adopted in the meeting for 2014 is of €9,217,150, almost the same figure as the final budget of 2013, and subject to the definitive adoption of the EU Budget for 2014 by the Budgetary Authority in the coming weeks.
For the period 2014-2018 period, the European Fisheries Control Agency will be dedicated to supporting the Member States and the Commission in the implementation of the new features of the Common Fisheries Policy in accordance with our core tasks. The main two tasks are the various Joint Deployment Plans, for which we will need to succeed in the evolution towards regional, multispecies and continuous Joint Deployment Plans in force (North Sea, Baltic Sea, Mediterranean Sea, North Atlantic and Western waters), and the support to Member States and the European Commission. This support entails the development and completion of IT projects that ensure the good functioning of data monitoring and networks, training, horizontal support activities to the Member States and the European Commission, and to the new Common Fisheries Policy, in cooperation with third countries and Regional Fisheries Management Organisations on Commission request.
Indeed, the European Fisheries Control Agency's mission is to promote the highest common standards for control, inspection and surveillance under the Common Fisheries Policy. Its reform will entail new rules for which a common approach and a level playing field will need to be ensured. Namely, the regional and international features of landing obligations, regionalisation, and the core control and enforcement policy will have implications for fisheries control in general and for EFCA in particular. The EFCA will support the Member States and the Commission within the Agency's financial and human resources and following the Administrative Board priorities within its remit.
Moreover, an important task for this upcoming period is the implementation of the projects on evaluation of compliance trends in fisheries and on the analysis of cost-effectiveness of control operations resulting from the decision of the Administrative Board on the creation of two Focus Groups for developing this assessment method.
As a cruising speed agency, the EFCA needs to deliver them by supporting the implementation of the new rules against a background of financial cuts and budget constraints.
"In the current situation, we are committed to do more with less. Indeed, I believe EFCA is very well placed to continue organising coordination and cooperation between national control and inspection bodies and contributing to building the capacity of the Commission and Member States so that the reformed CFP rules are respected and applied effectively in a uniform manner," said Pascal Savouret, EFCA Executive Director.

early title art for an Italian 'Phantom' story
Özcan Eralp is a Turkish comic artist and writer, born in Izmir and best known for his work on 'The Phantom'. He began his career as an illustrator in the 1960s. He lived in Sweden from 1967 to 1971, where he was a studio artist with Semic Press. He started out doing additional art for the Italian 'Phantom' stories that were published in Fantomen.
Between 1970 and 1991 he also drew stories on his own. Eralp has done remakes of the original newspaper stories by Lee Falk, but he has also scripted some stories himself. He also made several stories in cooperation with Bertil Wilhelmsson. In Turkey, he has additionally made cartoons for magazines like Girgir and Virt.

Blockbuster to close 129 stores in the UK as part of administration
COLLAPSED DVD and games rental firm Blockbuster is to close 129 of its 528 stores in the coming weeks and make 760 of its 4,190 employees redundant, its administrator confirmed today.
Thirty-one stores have already been put on notice of closure with a number of closing-down promotions announced.
Lee Manning, of administrator Deloitte, said: "Having reviewed the portfolio with management, the store closure plan is an inevitable consequence of having to restructure the company to a profitable core which is capable of being sold.
"We would like to thank the company's employees for their support and professionalism during this difficult time.
"We are also grateful to the customers for their continued support."
The administrator said an employee helpline and an "employee assistance programme" are in place to help staff find other jobs.
The firm's trading woes were blamed on competition from internet firms and digital streaming of movies and games.
Blockbuster had struggled to adapt to the changing market and rivalry from internet retailers including Netflix, Amazon's LoveFilm and iTunes, which now offers a movie rental service.
The devastating impact of the internet on Britain's high street had already been laid bare with the demise of camera chain Jessops and electricals group Comet, which also cited competition from online players as a major reason for their downfall.
Blockbuster's administration came just a day after music and entertainment chain HMV went under, following dismal Christmas sales.

Director-General on Official Visit to Côte d'Ivoire
On 13 September, the Director-General of UNESCO, Irina Bokova, will undertake an official visit to Côte d'Ivoire, where she is expected to meet with the President of the Republic and several ministers working in the fields of competences of the Organization.
While in Côte d'Ivoire, the Director-General will inaugurate UNESCO's National Office in Abidjan. The inauguration of this Office marks a shared commitment to enhance cooperation between UNESCO and Côte d'Ivoire -- it comes as an effort to accompany Côte d'Ivoire in building peace and sustainable development. The event is expected to take place in the presence of a number of ministers, ambassadors and UN heads of agencies.
The Director-General is also expected to launch a project on teacher training financed by China. The aim of the project is to train an adequate number of qualified teachers to bridge the education quality gap. The event will take place in the presence of the Minister of National Education of Côte d'Ivoire and the Chinese Ambassador to Côte d'Ivoire.
