best, most comfortable gloves?
Tillman stick, Miller mig and Tillman tig. I don't use stick/mig gloves. Miller also makes good tig gloves, more $$$$
best, most comfortable gloves?
So the Tillman gloves are the best for stick? Are they also good for mig?
best, most comfortable gloves?
I'm thinking of just trying out the miller ones. I like the look of them and they look fairly durable, I just hope that they're comfortable as well.
I prefer using the gloves issued free at work. Good feel, no seam on the outside of the index finger to burn through...and free. When I was looking through the online catalogs, similar gloves were in the $2-$4 range. Cheaper than Tillman or Miller...even if I had to buy 'em. May not be as great for TIG as a pair of Tillman gloves, but for MIG they are great.
Miller 251...sold the spoolgun to DiverBill.
Miller DialArc 250
Lincoln PrecisionTig 275
Hypertherm 900 plasma cutter
Bridgeport "J" head mill...tooled up
Jet 14 X 40 lathe...ditto
South Bend 9" lathe...yeah, got the change gears too
Logan 7" shaper
Ellis 3000 band saw
Hossfeld bender w/shopbuilt hyd.
Victor Journeyman torch and gauges
3 Gerstner boxes of mostly Starrett tools
Lots of dust bunnies
Too small of a shop at 40 X 59.
I have a pair of miller arc whatever gloves. They are for stick/mig and are yellow/black in color. Eh... I'd rather just grab a pair of heavy elk skin fencing gloves and use those. The black part on the back of my hand shrinks like crazy if you get it close to heat. I'm usually in some sort of out of position place when I'm trying to weld.
I've used 'em to tig too. They work okay as long as I don't have to feed the filler too much. Hard to feel anything. I don't know if they shield my skin from the uv of the arc, but my mechanix gloves are nice for tig. Enough for me at least. They aren't really leather at all but I don't do much tig so they work fine. I'm thinking about picking up a set of tillman tig gloves and trying them out. I've tried 'em on at the lws and I like them.MillerMatic 251

WyoRoy- I'm looking for the gloves that are a little longer than those. We have some in my class like that and I've tried them but they're just too short for me. I guess I've just gotten used to the long ones.
Elvis-have the miller gloves held up though? I don't really tig any in my class, 90% of the time it's just stick but occasionally mig. We aren't really welding anything serious, just flat practice plates and some t-joints for practice also. I just wanted a glove that would last awhile and be pretty comfortable too. I was hoping that since we aren't welding anything serious or for that long (about 2 hours a day of welding) that they would last for most of the class.
When I got them I wasn't paying attention and fried the crap out of them. Now I have to pay close attention. I was able to return the first ones because there was a big hole in the lining from poor QC during manufacturing. I don't plan on buying them again. I'm going to end up with a tillman for my next glove I think. The miller gloves are nice in the winter with the insulation. I would leave them on an oil heater and they would be warm when I was working in 10* weather. I almost wanted to keep them on!MillerMatic 251

I guess the main consensus is to go with Tillman, I live in the south so keeping my hands warm isn't too big of a deal, especially when summer rolls around since I sweat a lot as it is. Any specific type of Tillman gloves that you would recommend?

I am rough on gloves so I now tend to buy cheep as I can. I paid the premium a few times and ended up burning the fingers into a hard shell.
I recently bought two pair for 1.78 each. Got about 40 hours out of the first pair on thin stainless and the other I haven't used yet. The backs melted out then the fingers fell apart with only minor burns.
I guess that was a little too cheep.

I'm still in school so I don't think ill be that rough on the gloves, hopefully they'll last through the rest of the class. Ill check out those tillmans, thank y'all

Nedbair- I still haven't gotten a pair of gloves but I'm gonna try to get some soon. I've been looking at the Tillman mig/stick gloves and I like how they look and seem to have good reviews.
Beamwalker- wow! I'm glad I don't go through gloves that quick, I think my teacher would kill me for having to buy that many gloves, and id be going broke.

Scientist Fabricates Cancer Data
A postdoc at Harvard Medical School and Brigham and Women's Hospital is found guilty of falsifying his findings in a lung cancer study.
Jun 1, 2012
Megan Scudellari
A former research fellow at the Brigham and Women's Hospital and Harvard Medical School committed research misconduct, according to the Office of Research Integrity (ORI), which announced its findings in yesterday's Federal Register.
Based on evidence collected from a joint investigation by Brigham and Harvard, the ORI concluded that Jian Ma "knowingly and intentionally fabricated and falsified data." Ma falsified immunoblots in an unpublished manuscript investigating a gene's involvement in lung cancer sensitivity to a drug called rapamycin. The paper containing the falsified data was submitted to the Journal of Clinical Investigation in August 2008, but it was subsequently withdrawn by one of the authors in January 2009 prior to publication. The research was funded by the National Cancer Institute and the National Institutes of Health.
The experiments were subsequently redone, reanalyzed, and published in March 2010 in Oncogene, with Ma still listed as an author.
Ma, who is no longer affiliated with either institution, according to the Boston Globe, is now subject to a 3-year probationary period, in which he can participate in government-funded research only under strict supervision, according to the Register, and he may not serve on any government peer review or advisory committees.

Michigan, feds to share info in meningitis probe
(CNN) — Michigan and federal authorities will coordinate their criminal investigations into a deadly fungal meningitis outbreak that killed 22 people in that state and 64 people total nationwide, the Michigan attorney generaland the U.S. attorney for Massachusetts said Monday in Detroit.
However, Michigan — which had the most deaths of any single state in the 2012 outbreak — will let its own grand jury in the case take a "temporary pause" in the probe of the Massachusetts-based New England Compounding Center, Michigan Attorney General Bill Schuette said.
The Michigan grand jury hasn't announced any indictmentsand its six-month term is set to expire soon, though a judge could call it back, Schuette said. He emphasized his agreement with the U.S. attorney for Massachusetts, Carmen Ortiz, saying it will ensure state investigators see the evidence that a federal grand jury in Boston is seeing, and vice versa.
"This will help us reach our mutual goal: to secure justice for victims of fungal meningitis," Schuette said. "… By working together we can ensure our investigative efforts are not duplicated."
The outbreak, thought to be caused by tainted steroid injections from the New England Compounding Center, infected 751 people in 20 states last year, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported. More than 260 of the infected were Michigan citizens, Schuette said.
The company filed for bankruptcy last December. A state pharmacy board also voted to permanently revoke the company's license to operate as well as the licenses of the company's three principal pharmacists.
No one has yet been charged in the case, said Ortiz, who appeared with Schuette at a news conference in Detroit Monday morning.
She declined to discuss details of the investigation, but said she is confident in the direction it is going.
Symptoms of fungal meningitis can include headache, fever, nausea, stiff neck, new weakness or numbness anywhere in the body, slurred speech, pain or swelling at the injection site and sensitivity to light, according to the CDC.
Compounding pharmacists customize medications to fit an individual's needs. Doctors prescribe these custom medications when the manufactured drug won't work — for example, when a dosage is too large, or a patient has an allergy to a dye or ingredient in the commonly available product.

4400-Ton Transfer Press Emits Heavy-Metal Vibes
We walked the line as it pounded out cross members for Class 8 truck frames, 50-lb. chassis parts stamped from 75-lb. blanks sheared from 5⁄16-in.-thick Grade 50 high-strength low-alloy (HSLA) steel. You can watch the heavy-metal stamping press crank out the parts by viewing my brief editorial video in our online Multimedia Center: www.metalformingmagazine.com/video.
Heavy Metal a Natural Progression
Rockford Toolcraft emerged in 1976 when tool and die maker Jerry Busse, still the family-owned firm's president, invested $10,000 to build stamping dies. The firm grew rapidly through the '70s and by the early '80s had 20 employees. During the mid-'80s some of its customers encouraged Busse to purchase their production presses and stamp their parts. By the early '90s, Rockford Toolcraft had fully leveraged the synergy of its tooling expertise and stamping equipment, to offer significant cost savings to its OEM customers.
"By the late '90s," Busse says, "our sales were increasing by $10 to $20 million per year. Then, to protect ourselves from overseas competition, we moved more and more into stamping of heavy-gauge parts, where there was less competition. We upsized the entire operation with higher-capacity presses, heavy-duty automation, increased crane capacity, etc."
The firm, which processes more than 1.25 million lb. of steel per week, now houses 42 presses in 300,000 sq. ft. of production space spread among two buildings. Its press inventory includes a 1500-ton Clearing, three 1000-ton Minsters, five 800-ton presses and four 600-ton presses.
"Our growth in the '90s was fueled primarily by two markets," Busse says, "agricultural and trucking." Today, those two markets represent half of the firm's business. It also stamps and assembles for the automotive and commercial hardware industries, among others.
New Life for Twin 2200-Ton Presses
Als looking for opportunities to take his company—fearlessly—into uncharted territory, Busse first spied the two presses that have since become Brutus when touring one of his customer's stamping facilities in 2003. The firm had been using the two twin-ram 2200-ton presses end to end to stamp a dedicated product line. When production quantities for the product line dwindled, the company sold the presses to Busse, who scrapped the transfer and feed systems, ordered new replacements and had the presses rebuilt—-new motors, clutches, bearings, etc. Added in 2007 were a new Series 900 servo-based transfer system from HMS, and a ½-in. by 60-in.-capacity feed line from Feed Lease Corp. (see article in MetalForming, June 2007, page 30).
|Exiting Brutus are Class 8 truck-chassis stampings formed in six hits under the press' four rams. Each stamping weighs 50 lb.
Stamping the Class 8 truck-chassis parts, 5⁄16-in.-thick steel feeds from 40,000-lb. coils. The first ram (1000-ton) powers a three-station progressive die that blanks and trims the HSLA steel. Then three single-hit stations under the remaining rams (1200-ton, 1200-ton and 1000-ton in sequence) punch holes, form and resize to remove springback. The tooling also must remove coil crown, as the straightener cannot remove the entire coil crown from the heavy stock.
Stamping Rules of Thumb Out the Window
"Many of the rules of stamping when you're dealing with sheetmetal or even light-gauge plate go out the window when you're working with 1⁄4-in. steel and thicker," shares Busse, describing the learning curve his employees find themselves continuing to navigate. "We must als be on the lookout for different lubricants, tool coatings and tool steels. A lot of good tool steels do not hold up to the shock loads created with 5⁄16- or ½-in. steel. We've had to find tool steels to absorb the shock, and in some cases have found new life for older steels—S7 and S5 high-toughness shock-resistant alloys for example. We're also evaluating lubricants that we can use in sparse applications, precisely applied to specific areas of stampings to minimize waste and cleanup costs. The lubes obviously must work well under high heat and pressure applications."
Other techniques developed by the firm include the use of severe shear angles on punch tooling, in addition to staggering the punches in sequence, to reduce tonnage requirements on HSLA-steel stampings. Busse showed me one job where punches had a 15-deg. shear angle.
On the horizon for Rockford Toolcraft, in addition to continued growth in the agricultural and truck markets, are heavy-gauge stampings for the railroad industry. The firm stamps ¼- to 3⁄8-in.-thick hinges, brackets and other parts for rail cars.
"We expect the railcar industry to be a hot market for a number of years," Busse predicts. MF

For the first time, in 2012, more people will be saving for retirement in 401(k)-type plans than in traditional pensions, and that means employees need better guidance from plan sponsors, State Street Global Advisors recently reported.
"In 2012, defined-contribution will surpass defined-benefit as the predominant retirement vehicle globally," said Kristi Mitchem, senior managing director and head of global defined contribution at State Street Global Advisors, at a media briefing in New York.
But the DC system falls short because some employers don't offer a savings plan; others offer low matches; and some employees choose not to participate in a DC plan at all, Mitchem said.
DC Leakage Leads to Regret
"Leakage," or money coming out of the retirement savings system, is one of the greatest threats to retirement savings, yet it often goes unaddressed, said Brigitte Madrian, a public policy and corporate management professor at Harvard University's Kennedy School of Government, who also spoke at the briefing.
Leakage occurs when employees cash out their DC plans when leaving a job or when they make hardship withdrawals. The Government Accountability Office reported in 2006 that cash-outs at a job change caused $74 billion of the $84 billion in total leakage.
Though representing only 3 percent of total retirement savings assets, leakage from job changes has "a nontrivial impact" because employees usually come to regret letting their retirement savings run through their hands, Madrian said.
According to a Fidelity retirement survey in 2011,that regret is correlated with the amount of leakage. A majority of employees who responded said they regretted taking a cash distribution when changing jobs, while only 29 percent regretted taking a loan against a 401(k).
"The regret is exactly where the problem is the biggest," Madrian noted.
Warning on Savings Risk of High-Turnover Job Market
Dallas Salisbury, president and CEO of the Employee Benefit Research Institute, said at the briefing that job leakage occurs during job turnover, and job turnover has dramatically changed in the last half century along with the increasing use of DC plans.
"We have always been a high turnover society, and in the retirement planning world that makes a huge difference," Salisbury said, adding that American employees need to save now more than ever. He pointed to Warren Buffett's prediction that the next 20 to 30 years will be a low-yield environment, with fixed income yielding an average of 3 percent and equities 5 percent.
U.S. retirement assets totaled $17.4 trillion in 2010, according to the 2011 Investment Company Fact Book, with $4.5 trillion in private DC plans and $4.7 trillion in IRAs.
With these two vehicles making up the lion's share of retirement savings, companies that sponsor DC plans such as 401(k)s face growing pressure to improve savings outcomes. Mitchem advocated greater awareness of plan features such as automatic enrollment and escalation of automatic payroll deductions.
"Plan participants communicated loud and clear about what they need: simple steps and automated features," Mitchem said in a statement. "The ongoing volatility in the financial markets has increased anxiety amongst plan participants and a significant percentage want simplified and prescriptive guidance in order to make progress toward their retirement goals."

Up next is a lesson that will show you the ins and outs to drawing a newer version of a Velociraptor that is not either a chibi, cartoon, or in a for kids style. Instead I will upload a second or newer version of one of the meanest dinosaurs known to mankind. The raptor is not a difficult dinosaur to draw, but if you want a better, more neatly made tutorial, this one is the one for you. I find it easier to make a raptor from a side profile instead of head on. This is because there is less definition involved, and fewer limbs detailing to draw out. Since I already talked about the Velociraptor in my older tutorial, I'm almost at a loss for words when writing out this description. I don't know what else I can say about this dinosaur that is any different then what I said before. The only thing I can do different, is show you another way to "draw a velociraptor" that will be easier to understand, and quicker to complete. Anyways guys, there is no more submissions coming up, so you might as well tackle this one, and then try out one of the seven that I uploaded earlier. Peace out guys and have fun!

The Canadian Soccer Association announced on Thursday that a team-leading six Vancouver Whitecaps FC Residency players have been called up to Canada's men's U-17 team ahead of the 2013 CONCACAF U-17 Championship to take place in Panama beginning on April 6. The group will convene in Sunrise, Florida from March 30 to April 4.
Included on the roster are goalkeeper Marco Carducci, defender Alex Comsia, midfielders Kianz Froese, Jordan Haynes and Marco Bustos, and striker Matthew Chow.
"This will be a chance for us to finalize our roster and keep the momentum going after a couple strong performances during our last camp in Costa Rica," said U-17 head coach Sean Fleming. "We will have a few days in Florida to make sure that everybody is one-hundred percent focus on the task at hand.
"We have a very difficult opening match at the CONCACAF Championship against Trinidad and Tobago so we need to ensure we put forward our best possible performance to start the competition."
The team will train for four days in Florida before departing for Panama on 4 April.
Canada have been drawn into Group B at the CONCACAF Championship alongside Costa Rica and Trinidad and Tobago.
The top two teams from the group will advance to the all-important quarter-final stage that will determine which four CONCACAF nations will qualify for the FIFA U-17 World Cup UAE 2013.
Canada has assembled a roster of 23 players for pre-tournament camp in Florida. The squad will need to be trimmed to just 20 players for the CONCACAF Championship.

Long Term Scheduling covers roughly the time period "today + 5 weeks" to the end of System Range, which is the term for the time range within which flights can be published in axRes, i.e. the next 340 days.
Long Term Scheduling works together with Revenue Management. The so-called "peak list, in which flight analysts enter data about events relating to a specific destination, plays an important part here. (See photo below).
Many of these "peaks" are trade fairs for which RM generates maximum profit through long-term capacity management. This is why an A321 may be scheduled for a peak period in place of the customary ARJ used on a particular route. (See photo below).
Other types of peaks can be due to major sporting events, such as Formula One race. Official holidays also generate strong demand for capacity for multiple destinations at the same time.
A special entry on the peak list occurs during the first two weeks of January, the period during which Russia's upper classes like to celebrate their orthodox Christmas and New Year season by flying to winter resorts in Switzerland or France. SWISS responds by adding capacity on the DME-GVA and DME-ZRH routes, and "extra sections", i.e. supplementary flights are implemented. The aircraft fly "ferry" (non-revenue flight for positioning purposes) to DME and transport these customers GVA or ZRH. At the end of the holiday period, these customers are flown back to DME and the aircraft return as ferry flights to GVA or ZRH.
Extra sections are planned on the basis of input from Revenue Management and Sales (time frame with desired departure times) and only by using existing aircraft capacity. Flights can be operated only within the available airport slots, which is particularly problematic on Saturdays in GVA, which experiences capacity problems on winter weekends (ski-charter). Crew Planning also has to be taken into consideration to ensure that as few crews as possible are required and the number of crew hotel nights is kept to a minimum. (See photo below).
While high volume can be expected on certain dates, there are other times when passenger numbers are lower. This is true for business travel during the Christmas/New Year's period and at Easter. Quite a few flights are cancelled during the festive season. On the basis of cancellations during the same period a year prior, and taking into consideration the views of Network Development, which determines the impact from a network perspective, Revenue Management receives a list of the flights that are scheduled for cancellation and is then required to analyse the impact on the destinations in question and provide feedback. The number of cancellations is then adjusted to a degree acceptable to all parties and these are then published as a first tranche at the end of July. To cope with the problem of airport slots and the 80% rule involved, this publication must take place no later than the Slot Return date (15 August)).
In October the designated flights are reviewed, with further cancellations possible. The publication must take place in early November, i.e. before the Final Load for Crew Planning in December. Parallel to the cancellations, the smallest possible aircraft are assigned to operate the designated flights, reflecting the drop in demand.
The growing trend among travellers to book flights relatively late, i.e. closer to their actual date of travel, makes planning cancellations much more difficult than in the past.
Wherever possible, Long Term Scheduling supports Current Scheduling and is also responsible for scheduling updates for certain codeshare partners.

NAMEMojolicious::Plugin::Mongodb - Use MongoDB in Mojolicious
VERSIONversion 1.16
SYNOPSISProvides a few helpers to ease the use of MongoDB in your Mojolicious application.
use Mojolicious::Plugin::Mongodb sub startup { my $self = shift; $self->plugin('mongodb', { host => 'localhost', port => 27017, helper => 'db', }); }
helper (optional) The name to give to the easy-access helper if you want to change it's name from the default 'db' no_db (optional) Don't install the 'db' helper no_model (optional) Don't install the 'model' helper no_coll (optional) Don't install the 'coll' helper no_find_and_modify (optional) Don't install the 'find_and_modify' helper no_map_reduce (optional) Don't install the 'map_reduce' helper no_group (optional) Don't install the 'group' helperAll other options passed to the plugin are used to connect to MongoDB.
mongodb_connectionThis plugin helper will return the MongoDB::Connection object, use this if you need to access it for some reason.
db([$dbname])This is the name of the default easy-access helper. The default name for it is 'db', unless you have changed it using the 'helper' configuration option. This helper will return either the database you specify, or the last database you specified. You must use this in order to set the database you wish to operate on for those helpers that specify you should.
sub someaction { my $self = shift; # select a database $self->db('my_snazzy_database')->get_collection('foo')->insert({ bar => 'baz' }); # do an insert on the same database $self->db->get_collection('foo')->insert({ bar => 'baz' }); }
coll($collname)This helper allows easy access to a collection. It requires that you have previously selected a database using the 'db' helper. It will return undef if you have not specified a database first.
sub someaction { my $self = shift; # get the 'foo' collection in the 'bar' database $self->db('bar'); my $collection = $self->coll('foo'); # get the 'bar' collection in the 'baz' database $self->db('baz'); my $collection = $self->coll('bar'); }
model($db_and_collection)This helper functions as a combination of the above, or if you just want to use a different notation. An example usage would be:
# get the number of items in collection 'bar' in database 'foo' my $count = $self->model('foo.bar')->count(); # if you use dotted collection names, no problem! my $system_js_count = $self->model('foo.system.js')->count(); # if you pass it a regular string without dots, this helper will act like C<coll>. my $bar_collection = $self->model('bar');This helper will set the last selected db to whatever was passed as the database part of the argument, so try not to mix and match "model" with "coll" and "db".
find_and_modify($collname, \%options)This helper executes a 'findAndModify' operation on the given collection. You must have selected a database using the 'db' helper. See <http://www.mongodb.org/display/DOCS/findAndModify+Command> for supported options. It will return the raw result from the MongoDB driver.
map_reduce($collname, \%options)This helper executes a 'mapReduce' operation on the given collection. You must have selected a database using the 'db' helper. All options from <http://www.mongodb.org/display/DOCS/MapReduce> are supported. It will return undef on failure. On success, it will return the raw result from the MongoDB driver, or if you have passed the 'as_cursor' option, it will return a MongoDB::Cursor object for your result collection.

Outfielder Nolan Reimold (hamstring) was scheduled to bat third as the designated hitter at Double-A Bowie on Friday, but the Baysox's contest was rained out. They will play a doubleheader Saturday against Harrisburg.
Orioles manager Buck Showalter said Reimold is expected to be activated for next week's road trip.
Infielder Wilson Betemit (knee) resumed baseball activities Friday after taking a few days off because of soreness.
Right-hander Steve Johnson (oblique) continues to throw off flat ground.
Infielder Jonathan Schoop (back), the organization's top position prospect, has resumed baseball activities. Showalter said the target date for his return to game action is July 17, though it could be earlier.
Outfielder Steve Pearce (wrists) hasn't resumed baseball activities. The Orioles placed him on the 15-day disabled list June 21, and he left for Sarasota, Fla., after receiving an injection Monday.
Around the horn
The announcement of Yankees right-hander David Phelps instead of left-hander CC Sabathia as Friday night's starting pitcher resulted from a miscommunication. Phelps, who is 5-4 with a 4.01 ERA this season, will start tonight's game.
Zach Britton (1-2, 5.51) will make his fourth start for the Orioles tonight. He's 1-3 with a 7.82 ERA in six career starts against the Yankees.
Eduardo Rodriguez, the Orioles' No. 5 prospect according to Baseball America, was promoted to Double-A Bowie after going 6-4 with a 2.85 ERA in 14 starts at High-A Frederick. Rodriguez also was picked this week to play in the Futures Game at Citi Field before the All-Star Game.
First baseman Chris Davis became the third player in baseball history with 25 or more doubles and 25 or more home runs by the end of June with his double Thursday night. The first two were Larry Walker (1997) and Todd Helton (2001). Davis is one of three Orioles to have 20 or more doubles and 20 or more homers before the All-Star break, joining Brady Anderson (1996) and B.J. Surhoff (1999).
Draft picks Mitch Horacek (left-handed pitcher, ninth round), Mike Yastrzemski (outfielder, 14th round), Dylan Rheault (right-handed pitcher, 19th round) and Donnie Hart (left-handed pitcher, 27th round) were assigned to Single-A short-season Aberdeen.
The Orioles Championship of the 2013 MLB Pitch, Hit & Run program is at 11 a.m. today at Oriole Park. A group of 24 kids ages 7-14 will compete for the right to participate in the PHR National Finals at Citi Field during All-Star Week. The top three scores in each age group advance.

Dr. Sharon N DeWitte , Assistant Professor, University at Albany, SUNY is a biological anthropologist with interests in human osteology, paleodemography, paleopathology, and infectious and epidemic diseases. She is currently studying the mortality patterns of the Black Death of 1347-1351 using large skeletal samples from England and Denmark.
Dr. DeWitte's is interested in infectious diseases in past human populations, particularly how individual variation affects risk of morbidity and mortality in epidemics. She received a Dissertation Research Grant from the Wenner-Gren Foundation (2004) to investigate the mortality patterns of the Black Death of 1347–1351 and answer several longstanding questions, including whether the Black Death was selective with respect to pre-existing health conditions or if it killed people indiscriminately, as is often assumed. She addressed these questions drawing from a sample of Black Death skeletons from the East Smithfield cemetery in London, one of the few large excavated cemeteries in Europe with strong documentary and archaeological evidence linking it to the epidemic. Through a combination of human osteology, paleopathology, and paleodemography her analyses revealed that the Black Death did not, in fact, kill indiscriminately: individuals who were already in poor health before the epidemic were more likely to die during the Black Death than their healthier peers.
The results of this work were recently published by the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences and picked up by the New York Times as a newsworthy scientific finding.

Sox Look to Win Series vs. Tribe
With the White Sox at an even .500, 3 1/2 games behind the division-leading Tigers and 1 1/2 games in back of second place Cleveland, the South Siders realistically need to win every game.
That said, we know that goal is impossible and some games are just going to wind up in the loss column due to "natural causes." Last night's 4-1 defeat to the Tribe was one of those losses. Fausto Carmona, who was beaten up badly in two previous starts against the Sox, was at his best as he limited the Good Guys to four hits. Two of them came off the bat of Alejandro De Aza, who has been quite impressive since his callup, hitting .310 and adding speed and energy to the lineup. The only run scored on Alexei Ramirez's 13th homer in the second inning, which at the time tied the score.
It was also the end of Mark Buehrle's team record 18-game streak of allowing three runs or less. He gave up four earned runs while being tagged for 12 hits in 7 1/3 innings. Regardless of the outcome, he remains a model of consistency.
While last night was just one of those losses that's going to happen, tonight represents something much more. The Sox need to win in order to remain .500 or better, win the series and keep pace with the Tigers and Indians as the formidable Texas Rangers prepare to invade Chicago this weekend. Phil Humber looks to regain his early season form tonight against a very tough customer in Justin Masterton.
Sox Counting on Floyd to Help Good Guys Win Opening Series
I know that the Sox weren't going to go 162-0, but last night's 5-3 loss to the Tribe was a disappointment. With Jake Peavy on the mound and the momentum from Opening Day I had already chalked up a victory in my head. Lesson learned for the millionth time–nothing in baseball is set in stone.

Remember the P-5000 Work Loader? The hulking mechanized exoskeleton that Ellen Ripley uses to rip the xenomorph queen a new one in Aliens? Sure you do. Well, this is what an advertisement for the P-5000 would look like, were we all ill-fated enough to live in the world of Weyland Corp.
The illustration was created by artist Tom Whalen for the Product Placement Screenprint art show at Gallery1988 in Los Angeles, which, if you're in the area, kicks off tomorrow and runs all the way through March 30th.
"Participants were asked to create a poster/advertisement for a fictional product from television or film," writes Whalen on his website, where you'll find tons more of his work. "I've always thought the caterpillar P-5000 work loader from Aliens was the bee's knees, so this was pretty much a no-brainer for me."

As 2010 rolls to a close it's time to take a trip through the Lettuce Eat Kale archives at, arguably, the year's best blog posts (horn toot alert).
Some spurred lots of comments, others pointed to national trends or local enterprises, some profiled well-known people who garnered awards for their culinary pursuits, still others focused on little-known folks who worked without fanfare on worthy food causes.
Feel free to check out a post you may have missed, chime in on your favorite piece, or comment on those featured in this list.
And don't be shy about letting me know what you'd like to see more (or less) of on this site.
I am grateful to Berkeleyside, Civil Eats, and Bay Area Bites, for sharing my stories with a wider audience on a regular basis.
Here's wishing you, my loyal readers, a healthy, well-read and well-fed 2011.
The Lettuce Eat Kale 2010 Top Ten List
1. D.I.Y. trend: It was fun to feature local foragers, fermenters, canners, jammers, urban homesteaders, and cooks all living the D.I.Y. life in the Bay Area. Highlights include wild man Iso Rabins, preserver Shakirah Simley, pickle people Alex Hozven and Kevin Farley, city farmer Jim Montgomery, and D.I.Y. Delicious diva Vanessa Barrington.
2. Food Security: My social justice journalism roots tend to steer me towards stories about ordinary people doing extraordinary things for the common good. Consider: gleaner Anna Chan on a mission to feed the needy, Delana Toler, a parent and garden teacher who started a school produce stand, the team behind Operation Frontline (cooking classes for the underserved now run under the Cooking Matters banner), the folks at Let's Preserve, which combines canning with community service, and the green thumbs who staff Spiral Gardens, a nursery-education-farm stand in the 'hood.
3. Meat Matters: For a girl who eats mostly greens, meat mattered this year. There was that culinary confession (spoiler alert: vegetarians may be disappointed), a spotlight on the growing Meatless Monday campaign and a profile of Kim O'Donnel, author of The Meat Lover's Meatless Cookbook.
4. School Food: On the school food beat I covered celebrities trying to improve what our children eat at school, including a report for The Atlantic on Alice Waters (and a critique of the controversial Cultivating Failure story by the same outlet), an examination of the Limey Lad's lunchroom antics in a post on Jamie Oliver, and a Q&A with anonymous newcomer to the school food scene, undercover school lunch sleuth Mrs. Q.
I also offered up the accessible academic perspective of Janet Poppendieck, author of Free For All, reported on ten teens bringing about change in school cafeterias, listed five reasons for optimism on the school food front, and reported on the new administration's nascent efforts in the school food fight.
Look for a long overdue update on school food news in early January.
5. Street Eats: Pavement cuisine continued to excite eaters and readers. I chronicled the adventures of two moms who launched a sandwich truck, delved into why Berkeley isn't very street-cart friendly, and reported on the Eat Real Festival Lit Fest, a forum for writers to talk about grub on the go.
6. Hospital Food: Quite unexpectedly I became a hospital food expert. I profiled my pal Lucia Sayre, who works with local healthcare groups trying to fix hospital food, went behind the scenes to learn more about the makeover in food in medical institutions, reported on a hospital food forum featuring Michael Pollan and Mollie Katzen and conducted a Q&A with the father of the hospital farmers' market movement Preston Maring.
7. Honor Roll: Kudos is due to Hodo Soy Beanery founder Minh Tsai, named one of Food & Wine's 40 Big Thinkers 40 and Under. Ditto to the dudes behind Gather Restaurant, Ari Derfel and Eric Fenster. The restaurant's top chef Sean Baker earned Esquire's chef of the year award; the mag also named the eatery one of the 20 best in 2010.
8. Budding Berkeley Food Businesses: It turns out a flurry of new food enterprises are thriving, despite the economic downturn, including the award-winning Mushroom Guys, a cafe that donates profits to underfunded projects, a new student food cooperative, a single mom who turned a soulful family recipe into a successful food product, and a former UC student who runs a nonprofit cooking club for kids.
9. Community Cooking: Chronicling neighborhood efforts to break bread together I stumbled upon the Multi Culti Grill and Birdland Jazz Club, a weekly gathering that garnered gobs of support when I broke the story that the City of Berkeley threatened to close down the event, brainchild of artist Michael Parayno. And I bid adieu to another quirky Berkeley underground food venture, Frugal Foodies, calling it a night after more than five years.
10. Food Films and Books: Michael Pollan picked my pal photog Anne Hamersky's Farm Together Now as his favorite food book of the season in a list on Grist, saying "it consists of interviews with a wide range of farmers (and activists) who you haven't heard of. Inspiring without being romantic in the least, it advances the whole conversation about sustainable agriculture and access."
Many of you had opinions about the film adaptation of Eat, Pray, Love and your favorite fiction and non-fiction food films. Interviews with food writers continued to resonate with readers, while, perhaps not surprising, my most popular posts proved to be monthly book giveaways (everyone, it seems, likes a free cookbook as well as a free lunch.)

With all due respect to Eric Johnson and his views on the tonal differences among battery types, running all your pedals on any kind of battery will cost a fortune over time. Plus, changing batteries in a pedal that's attached to a pedalboard can be a real pain—especially if the compartment is on the bottom of the unit. Some pedalboards come with built-in power supplies that can adequately power most conventional pedals. However, not all pedals use DC power, and not all pedalboards come equipped with a power supply. In these cases, an isolated power supply is the solution. Worthy units include the Voodoo Lab Pedal Power ISO-5 (Street $109, voodoolab.com)— which includes four 9-volt, one 12-volt, and one 18-volt outputs—and the Visual Sound 1 SPOT (Street $19.95, visualsound.net), which can power up to twenty 9-volt pedals using an optional daisy-chain cable.
"It's okay to share a few analog pedals with one of the outputs from a good power supply," says AnalogMike, "so you don't really need one output for each pedal. But a digital pedal—such as a tuner or digital delay—should not share power with any other pedals."
Noise and Signal Degradation
Most guitarists would probably not be surprised to hear that, the more pedals you add to your pedalboard, the greater the chances of problems. Even if you have relatively noise-free pedals, the extraneous noise from a bunch of them is going to add up. Sometimes it only takes one very cool—but very unruly—pedal to throw your signal chain into turmoil. And tone-robbing pedals can wreak havoc on your sound even when they're turned off.
One solution you hear bandied about a lot is to use true-bypass pedals. When turned off, a true-bypass pedal sends the signal straight from the input jack to the output jack without any connection to the pedal's circuitry, thus bypassing any tone-damaging properties of the pedal. Pedals that don't use true-bypass circuitry send your signal through a buffered section of the circuit even when the pedal is off—it just doesn't go through the effect section of the circuit.
But Radial Engineering's Peter Janis says it's not as simple as always selecting true-bypass pedals. "There are pluses and minuses to truebypass, just as there are with buffered signals. The problem with true-bypass setups is that they tend to pop' hen the pedal is activated, and if many pedals are being used, noise can often creep into the system. Buffers are often used as a means to circumvent the problem altogether, but this too has a cost. A Stratocaster connected directly to a Marshall will sound different when the signal is buffered."
AnalogMike says, "I prefer true-bypass pedals whenever possible, but if you go through several true-bypass pedals and they're all off, you may lose some high end due to all the cabling. However, if you keep one pedal on, like a delay, that should provide enough buffering. A buffered-bypass pedal that is off will often be a good enough buffer. If you often run all your pedals off, a buffer on your pedalboard would be a good idea."
If the sounds you seek aren't always available in true-bypass designs, there are still steps you can take to combat noise and improve sound quality. "First, test with batteries to see if the noise is from the power supply," says AnalogMike, "and also disconnect all other pedals when testing one pedal for noise. To test for noise, you have to set the pedal so that it's at the same volume when it's on as it is when it's off—that is, at unity gain. When you turn it up higher, it will amplify any noise that is already there, making it more apparent. If you turn the guitar all the way down, you can hear what's coming from the pedal. A little bit of white noise is normal when it's set at unity gain. There are a million things that can cause noise, so plug in, open up the pedal, and probe around with a chopstick or something and see if you can locate the cause—like a bad solder joint, a failing switch contact, a jack, a pot, etc."
If you have any pedals that just can't be tamed, another solution is to incorporate a loop controller like the Radial BigShot EFX True- Bypass Effects Loop Switcher (Street $79.95, radialeng.com) or the buffered Radial Loopbone Dual Effects Loop (Street $259.99), or the Cusack Pedal Board Tamer (Street $500, cusackeffects.com) to keep them out of the circuit until needed.
- The Radial Engineering BigShot EFX True-Bypass Effects Loop Switcher features two footswitchable effects loops, allowing you to remove signal-degrading stompboxes from the path and create a true-bypass signal chain.
- The Radial Engineering Loopbone features class-A circuitry, two footswitchable effects loops, a footswitchable VariBoost function, a pickup-load-correction circuit, Slingshot amp-switching capabilities, and a tuner out.
- The Cusack Pedal Board Tamer (reviewed November 2010) offers nine effects loops—three of which may be operated in stereo—and has two guitar inputs that can be switched between truebypass and buffered, a mutable tuner output, three tap-tempo outputs, a Mech Mode mechanical looping mode, a Preset Mode with nine programmable presets, and an All Off switch.

Central Connecticut towns are well-represented in the upcoming Miss Connecticut Scholarship Pageant to be held June 20 to 22 at the Garde Arts Center in New London. This week and next we will help you get to know the young women who want to be Miss Connecticut or Miss Connecticut's Outstanding Teen. We asked each of the contestants three questions to help readers get to know them.
A. When you finish your reign as Miss Connecticut/ or Miss Connecticut's Outstanding Teen, how will you have made the world a better place by wearing the crown?
B. Pull out your crystal ball for a moment. How do you see your life 20 years from now?
C. Suppose we pull aside your very best friend and ask her to describe you, what do you think she's going to say about you?
Shannon Murphy
Age: 20
Miss Plantsville
Central Connecticut State University
A. After my reign as Miss Connecticut, I hope to make the state more aware of the importance of safe driving. I intend to promote my platform "Making an Impact: Promoting Safe Teen Driving" throughout my reign and encourage people to become more aware of the dangers of getting behind the wheel. Car accidents are the number one cause of death in teens and it is my goal to lower this statistic by spreading awareness throughout the state.
B. In 20 years, I see myself as an accomplished third grade teacher as well as successful business owner of a bakery. I will take full advantage of my summers off by focusing on my bakery but also taking time to travel the world. I hope to be married and settled down with children and I plan on living in Connecticut. I hope to stay involved in the Miss America Organization and continue to empower others to believe in themselves and their dreams. In 20 years, I hope to have accomplished whatever I set my mind to but more importantly enjoy life and all that it has to offer.
C. My best friend would tell you how positive I am. I am constantly reminding my friends and family of the importance of a positive attitude. I have learned that with a good attitude and a positive outlook on life it is much easier to accomplish what you set your mind to. My best friend would tell you I am extremely caring and selfless and I love to do things for others. I would also think she would my mention my sense of humor but then again, she may just mention how I seem to think I'm funny.
Krystiana Bouchard
Age: 15
Miss West Hartford's Outstanding Teen
Greater Hartford Academy of the Arts
A. After my year as Miss Connecticut Outstanding Teen 2013, I will have had an impact not only the community but individuals as well. It's my goal to find success in myself by helping and recognizing other's success. My issue of concern is the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. By the end of my year, Connecticut will learn about MS. My role with the MS Society will help it grow in numbers and strength due to the support I yearn to gain. Personally, the crown and sash, as well as the title of Miss Connecticut Outstanding Teen, will give me the upper hand to be a positive influence in our community as well as accomplish many great things with my personal platform as well as the many things I will do.
B. I see myself as a lawyer in California. Hopefully at 35, I will have an established family and career. I will have obtained degrees from UCLA Berkeley and Harvard Law School. Maybe I'll even be going to a Miss America Reunion as Miss America 2021.
C. She would say I'm a very laidback person who's up for new adventures and anything for a good laugh. Two words she would use to describe me are spontaneous and articulate.
Jillian Duffy
Age: 16
Miss Forestville's Outstanding Teen
Lewis S. Mills
High School
A. As Miss Connecticut's Outstanding Teen, I would hope to have continued to raise awareness and funds for pediatric cancer research though my platform Jillian's Journey. Through sharing my story of my personal battle with cancer, I hope to have inspired other young men and woman to work through their own personal struggles. I would have visited the children at Connecticut Children's Medical Center and held various activities with them in hopes of making their days a little brighter.
B. Ideally, with the work that we are doing today I hope that pediatric cancer is eradicated completely. However, if that is not the case, I will be working as a pediatric oncology nurse at Connecticut Children's Medical Center and caring for patients and their families during their battle with cancer. I hope to be a wife and mother, and will be continuing my work to raise funds and awareness for pediatric cancer research.
C. She would say that I am hardworking, strong, trustworthy, and fun to be with. She would describe me as a determined young lady, and tell you that once I set my mind on something, I try my hardest to achieve it. She would also say that I am inspirational, and a good friend.
Age: 20
Miss Bristol
Western New England University
A. I hope that people will become more inspired to go out and follow their dreams. Since I was a young girl, I wanted to be Miss Bristol, so I made a goal setting plan for myself to make my dream come true. This is what inspired me to create my personal platform, SMART Goals, which is about creating goals that are Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic, and Time manageable. By living out my year as Miss Bristol, I hope I served as an example for others to follow when they begin goal setting for themselves.
B. I still see myself running around, busy with different responsibilities. In 20 years, I'll be 40 which pretty far into the future. But I hope after I graduate college I will find a job at a news station and hopefully make my way up to becoming an on air talent. My career goal is to become a news anchor and that is something I am willing to work very hard for. I also hope to remain connected to my community in the future no matter where I end up. I see my life as full and fulfilling between my career, my family, and my friends. At the end of the day, I hope in the future that I wake up each morning feeling excited and lead a life filled with success, happiness, and love.
C. I'm loyal. When I say I am a dedicated person, I mean in all aspects of my life, friends included. Friendships are a sacred thing. Life is a team sport, you don't do this alone. You need a team behind you to help you through the good and the bad times of your life. My friends often say to me, "I don't know how you do as much as you do in one day." Those are the times when they would call me motivated. But at the end of the day, everything I do is worth it in the end when one of my friends tells me that my motivation inspires them to become committed to something. You know you are creating healthy and lasting relationships with your friends when those friendships allow both of you to become better people.
Name: Jaymie Bianca
Age: 14
Miss Bristol's Outstanding Teen
Chippens Hill
Middle School
A. As Miss Connecticut's Outstanding Teen, I would have promoted my issue of concern "Providing Sports and Recreational Opportunities for Special Needs Children" all across the state. This way, cities and towns who did not have opportunities for special needs children now can implement programs after I spoke to them about the benefits sports and recreational activities have on children with disabilities. Also, with numerous fundraisers and events, equipment would be purchased for organizations that provide activities for special needs children. This way, the programs can continue to impact the lives of children with disabilities. Plus, with the various appearances Miss Connecticut's Outstanding Teen must make, I would have encountered many people of all ages and all backgrounds, and this way, I was able to learn so much about our state of Connecticut. I would hope my positive attitude and optimism for each and every event has served as an example for people of all ages. After my reign, I know that I have tried my hardest to serve as a positive role model and an outstanding representative for the state of Connecticut and the Miss Connecticut Organization.
B. Ever since I was a young girl I have always desired to become a special education teacher, since my brother is on the Autism Spectrum, and I enjoy helping him and other special needs children as well. In the near future, I definitely see myself working in my special education classroom in a middle school environment. I absolutely adore the children I work with at my middle school, and can certainly see myself with a career where I am able to work with special needs children every day. Also, when I become a teacher, I would like to establish a program where typical children can interact with special needs children. I believe these programs are a true asset to any school, and I would love for my students to be a part of these types of programs, so therefore, they can gain and develop social skills. Also, over the years, I have grown a deep appreciation and passion for writing. Aside from becoming a special education teacher, I would like to write articles about special needs children, ranging from topics such as the positive affect sports have on them, and also educate people about different learning styles that can help special needs children. Quite frankly, any job that involves spending time with children who have disabilities is a job I can see myself doing.
C. She will probably say that I'm very compassionate. I've always helped others, and when I do, I feel very happy as well. My best friend may also describe me as very loyal and trustworthy! I'm always there for someone when they need it the most, and anyone can count on me if they ever need assistance. Lastly, my best friend would say that I'm definitely entertaining. Making people laugh is something I truly enjoy, and if they're laughing, I laugh as well.
Brooke Cyr
Age: 15
Miss Plainville's Outstanding Teen 2013
Bristol Eastern
High School
A. After my reign as Miss Connecticut's Outstanding Teen, many lives will be different. They will now see the light of a new day. By spreading the word about teen suicide and depression, I will have made everyone in this state aware of the issue. Those who have suffered in silence will have been heard. Those who are afraid to move on, afraid to face life, afraid to believe or to love again will never have to feel that way. Every 40 seconds in this country, someone commits suicide. By the end of my reign, I hope to slow this rate, and someday, put it to a stop.
B. When I'm 35, I will be married to the love of my life with four lovely children. I will have graduated college after double majoring with degrees in teaching literature, creative writing, and performing arts. I'll also be working as a face character or a performer in Disney World. I will be the perfect wife and mother and I will do anything to keep my family together. By this time in my life, I'll be a bestselling author with several novels out and a book of poems I have written throughout my existence. I hope that by then, I'll have saved many lives through my work with those who self-harm, have an addiction, or have thoughts of suicide. I will hopefully, have made the lives of those people meaningful once again; Bringing them hope and love for the future.
C. I know exactly what my best friends would say. I treasure friendship more than anything. If I do not have my friends, I am nothing. They have carried me through the toughest times in my young life. They would say I always put others before myself. They would also describe me as someone who smiles through the rain; someone who swears I'm fine even during the most terrible heartbreak because I simply do not want to ruin their day. My friends say I am the sweetest person they know. Many admire all the things I have been able to accomplish. They ask me how I am able to do so many things. They would describe me as a hard worker who tries and tries and never gives up. That I love helping out in the community because it is so very rewarding. They will say I spend most of my time dancing with my competition team at Triple Threat Dance Company and how much I love my dance family. My friends would say when I am not dancing you will find me singing with my a capella group. My friends also know how important family is to me. Their love and support means the world to me. The only complaint my friends have is that they wish they could see me more but they understand how committed I am to being the best title holder I can be.
Name: Julie Gianoni
Title: Miss Forestville
Age: 24
School: Graduate of
Sacred Heart University
A. In a year of service as Miss Connecticut 2013, I will visit communities around the state to address the importance of bullying prevention to children, parents, and Board of Education representatives. I will have the opportunity to implement my program entitled "Buddies Not Bullies" into school systems statewide. Therefore, upon the closing of my reign, I will have made the state of Connecticut a better place by guiding schools towards a successful prevention program and mentoring those who are victims of bullies. Being active in the community is important to me and I will make the world a better place by assisting local organizations.
B. I am already one year in. So in 19 more years, I see myself having my own classroom, teaching at the elementary level. I love to travel so I hope to be spending my summers off traveling around the world with my family and loved ones. I would like to stay involved with the Miss America Organization so maybe at that time I will be directing my own local pageant.
C. My best friend would describe me as compassionate, respectful, and a great listener. She would describe me as someone who is always there for her friends and supports them. Someone who cares about the people in her life and is passionate about helping others in the community.

A. As Miss Connecticut, I will have a hardy list of to-dos including the promotion of my platform, Veterans' Awareness, the Miss America Organization, and Children's Miracle Network Hospitals, but overall I want to spread positivity. I genuinely believe that this world sometimes lacks love and that Miss Connecticut is in the perfect position to help spread positive messages. I want to be a Miss Connecticut that children can relate to, and that adults can admire for her hard work ethic and dedication to her job. I consistently speak about staying positive to children, volunteers, and business owners because I have learned that what is to come is always better than what has come and gone. As Americans we can overcome the adversities that we face by creating comfortable and loving environments for our children, veterans and those in need.
B. Oh boy, 20 years is a long time from now. I like to set short term goals as opposed to thinking that far ahead. So, in the next five years I would love to see myself as a former Miss Connecticut working in the human resources field. I hope to have time to travel the world after I graduate, so maybe I'll go to a foreign country and decide to stay. When I get to 2033, I hope to be a mother, enjoying a much different life than the one I live now.
C. Taegan has been my best friend since freshman year in high school. She typically describes me as an organized, sincere go-getter who has no issue balancing a handful of tasks and roles. Without me present, she would probably mention that I have really grown to laugh at myself and embrace my quirkiness while staying true to my professional mentality.

A. I would hope I will have and will continue to touch the lives of many children and families through out the state of Connecticut. My platform "Kids helping Kids," The Giving Back Girls, has impacted many families in my community through drives, bake sales, and other fundraisers. Locally, I have made a difference, but my drive doesn't stop there. I want to be able to reach out to everyone in our great state as possible.
B. I aspire to be a wife, a mother, and pediatric nurse, juggling diapers, toddlers, and a career that I can help save the lives of others. I am a people person. I know that in 20 years I will— in some way, shape, or form— be caring for people. I cannot picture my future without a loving family and a degree in nursing.
C. They would say that I am intelligent, honest, trustworthy, and patient. They know whenever they need a shoulder to cry on, my ears are always open. I always put my friends wellbeing before myself, so they can rely on me to be a dependable friend.

A. Once my year as Miss Connecticut's Outstanding Teen has come to an end, I will have implemented my issue of concern, "Read to Succeed," all throughout the sState of Connecticut. Reading and literacy are such an important part of our education and our entire lives. You read everywhere you go. Hopefully by the end of my reign, I will have had a positive impact on children all throughout Connecticut and have influenced them to read, because if you read, then you will succeed.
B. In 20 years, I see myself performing as a lead role on Broadway. This is my dream, but it is also a very hard business. I will also have earned my bachelor's and master's degrees in the performing arts with a minor in photography. I love to take pictures of nature and attractions wherever I go. Most of all, I absolutely see myself being married and being the mother of two children.
C. My best friend would most likely say that, in public, I am very focused on my schoolwork, relaxed, and a little bit laidback. However, when we are spending time at each other's homes, she would say that I am a fun and crazy person. Plus, she would probably say that I am very caring and helpful towards her and all of my other friends.

Susan Granger's review of 'Brick Mansions'
Primarily notable as one of "Fast and Furious" Paul Walker's last film roles before he was killed in high-speed car crash in 2013, this recycled French thriller was adapted by Luc Besson and Bibi Naceri from the 2004 French film "District B13" and helmed by first-time director Camille Delamarre, who edited Besson's "Taken 2," "Colombiana" and "Transporter 3."
Set in 2018 in dystopian Detroit, dangerous criminals have taken up residence in dilapidated buildings known as Brick Mansions. Unable to control crime within that housing project, the police have constructed a colossal, 40-foot containment wall to protect the rest of the city. After busting a drug ring headed by George the Greek (Carlo Rota), earnest undercover narcotics cop Damien Collier (Paul Walker) is dispatched to infiltrate the Mansions to defuse a nuclear bomb that Tremaine Alexander (Wu-Tang Clan's RZA) has hidden there. Tremaine is the gangster kingpin whom Damien blames for his cop father's death.
There's a shady redevelopment project and Tremaine threatens to detonate Motor City. Tremaine's only ally is ex-con Lino Dupree (David Belle), who grew up in the Mansions and whose ex-girlfriend Lola (Catalina Denis) is being held hostage by Tremaine.
If the basic concept sounds familiar, it is. Remember John Carpenter's "Escape from New York" (1981) starring Kurt Russell as Snake Plissken?
Actor David Belle is known as the co-founder of the acrobatic martial art called "parkour," involving body momentum, like running, jumping and/or climbing along a particular route, most often in a city, nimbly trying to avoid physical obstacles in the quickest, most efficient way possible.
So there are a number of action-packed chase and fight sequences, particularly when Collier and Lino take on a seven-foot behemoth known as the Yeti (Robert Maille). For that, also credit stunt coordinator Michel Julienne ("Transporter 2," "Iron Man 2," "Taken"), the son of Remy Julienne, the French pioneering stunt driving performer and motocross champion.
On the Granger Movie Gauge of 1 to 10, "Brick Mansions" is a kinetic 3. Think of it as Cirque du Detroit, a showcase for stuntmen.

1957: Buddy Parker Abruptly Quits as Coach of Lions
On August 12, 1957 a "Meet the Lions" banquet was held at a hotel in Detroit. The team was still in training camp with the first preseason game coming up shortly and some 600 fans were in attendance. When it was time for Head Coach Buddy Parker to speak, it was assumed that he would utter the usual cliches typical of such occasions. Instead, he said "I can't handle this team anymore. It's the worst team I've ever seen in training camp. They have no life, no go, just a completely dead team. I'm leaving Detroit football. And I'm leaving tonight."
At least one member of the audience laughed, thinking that Parker was joking. He was serious, however, and in the end simply walked off the podium and out of the building, leaving behind a stunned group of team executives, fans, and reporters.
Under Buddy Parker, the Lions had been one of the NFL's strongest teams. Since taking over as head coach in 1951, they had gone 47-23-2 and won three conference titles and back-to-back league championships in 1952 and '53.
The offense, directed by fiery fellow Texan Bobby Layne at quarterback (pictured at bottom with Parker), was solid and prominently included OT Lou Creekmur, guards Harley Sewell and Dick Stanfel, ends Cloyce Box and Dorne Dibble, and halfbacks Doak Walker and Bob "Hunchy" Hoernschemeyer. Parker proved adept at adjusting the offense to his personnel, effectively utilizing the power of FB Pat Harder, obtained from the Cardinals at age 29 in 1951, and then featuring the outside speed of halfbacks Hoernschemeyer and Gene Gedman while maximizing Walker's all-around talents. With the resourceful Layne at quarterback, the Lions utilized play action passes to great effect and pioneered in the development of the two-minute offense.
As effective as the offense was, the Lions were especially renowned for their defense. Middle guard Les Bingaman had provided a 300-pound impediment to opposing runners and, when he retired, Joe Schmidt became a groundbreaking and exceptional middle linebacker. The secondary was particularly outstanding, as the Lions led the way in the art of drafting athletes for the defensive backfield. Known as "Chris's Gang" due to the presence of safety Jack Christiansen, the unit also included fellow safety (and eventual fellow member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame) Yale Lary as well as halfbacks Jim David, Bob Smith, and Bill Stits.
In three consecutive seasons, Parker and the Lions faced off for the NFL title against Paul Brown and the Cleveland Browns; the Lions won the first two of those encounters. But Parker was shattered by the failure to win a third consecutive championship in 1954, losing badly to the Browns by a score of 56-10.
Detroit sank to 3-9 in 1955, but in '56 the Lions recovered to post a 9-3 record and missed winning the Western Conference by a half game to the 9-2-1 Bears. In the showdown for first place, Layne had been knocked out of the game when blindsided by Chicago's DE Ed Meadows on a very late hit, although the inability to stop Bears FB Rick Casares, who gained 190 yards rushing, was likely an even larger factor in the loss.
But by the 1957 preseason, a number of issues were rumbling beneath the surface where Buddy Parker and the Lions were concerned. While Parker never elaborated on his reason for the abrupt departure, it was known that he was frustrated with divisions among the team's owners that had led to meddling and open second-guessing of the coach's decisions. An hour prior to the banquet, he had been summoned to a suite at the hotel where one of the owners was throwing a cocktail party, and found several of the players there. It might well have been the last straw.
Assistant coach George Wilson was elevated to head coach and the Lions went on to win the NFL championship, once more defeating the Browns in the climactic game. Bobby Layne broke his leg late in the season, but veteran backup Tobin Rote – obtained to provide solid relief in the event of another injury to Layne – capably guided the offense the rest of the way.
Buddy Parker didn't remain unemployed long - after rumors had him replacing Weeb Ewbank in Baltimore, he was hired by the Pittsburgh Steelers two weeks after leaving the Lions. Layne was reunited with Parker in 1958, and the perennially-losing Steelers put together a 7-4-1 record.
Parker may have been an excellent tactician who was adept at game management, but he was also temperamental and prone to outbursts. The Lions obtained his services after he had quit the Chicago Cardinals in a huff, where he had been co-coach for a year and was caught in the midst of an ownership dispute. He would abruptly quit the Steelers shortly before the 1965 season, after compiling a 51-47-6 tally through eight years, and was finished as an NFL head coach at age 51.

LOS ANGELES - A plaintiffs' attorney said a U.S. District Court judge in California has given preliminary approval to a $1 billion-plus settlement with Toyota Motor Corp. in cases involving unintended acceleration problems in its vehicles.
Attorney Steve Berman said Judge James Selna gave swift initial approval Friday.
Toyota has said the deal announced Wednesday will resolve hundreds of lawsuits from Toyota owners who said the value of their cars and trucks plummeted after a series of recalls stemming from claims Toyota vehicles accelerated unintentionally.
The judge will hold a fairness hearing June 13 and consider granting final approval to the settlement.
Claims seeking compensation for injury and death due to sudden acceleration are not part of the settlement; the first trial involving those suits is scheduled for February.

Homeschoolers' request for asylum questioned by judges
CINCINNATI (BP) -- A German family should be granted asylum in the U.S. because their s native government is denying a fundamental human right by preventing them from homeschooling their children, attorney Michael Farris told a three-judge panel of the U.S. 6th Circuit Court of Appeals Tuesday (April 23) in Cincinnati.
The family, devout Christians Uwe and Hannelore Romeike and their five children, fled Germany in 2008 after facing heavy fines and the threat of losing custody of the children unless they attended school. The Romeikes have since had a sixth child and expect a seventh in June. They were granted asylum by an immigration judge in 2010, but the Obama administration appealed the decision to the Board of Immigration Appeals and won.
Farris, chairman of the Virginia-based Home School Legal Defense Association, told Baptist Press after the arguments that it is illogical for the administration to oppose the Romeikes' request for asylum.
"It makes no sense to me why the Obama administration wants to send a German homeschool family home while they are so lenient to so many others," Farris said in an interview. "There is no rational explanation in my judgment. Forget the legal arguments. Legal arguments are debatable, but the political assessment just makes no sense at all."
Farris told the justices that the German government's anti-homeschool bias rises to the level of persecution in part because the "degree of punishment is so severe" -- removal of the children from their home unless they are placed in a public or private school.
The approximately 500 homeschooling families in Germany are also persecuted, Farris argued, because they are denied what the United Nations has deemed a fundamental human right -- the right of parents to direct their children's education.
Judge Jeffrey Sutton countered that Germany is not prohibiting parents' direction of their children's education. Parents may teach their children during non-school hours, Sutton said, instilling in them any worldview they choose.
Judge John Rogers added that receiving punishment for failing to comply with a law not supported by the U.S. is not always ground for asylum.
Regarding the Romeikes' faith, Sutton said it is not clear that anti-Christian bias is among the reasons for Germany's policy against homeschooling. Judge Ronald Gilman said teaching "tolerance" is one reason for the German government's insistence on school attendance.
Farris countered, "If that's tolerance, it's a tolerance unknown to a free society."
Government attorney Walter Bocchini seemed to grant that directing their children's education is a fundamental right of parents. But he said a foreign government's violation of its citizens' rights is not a reason for granting asylum unless the violation stems from intent to persecute a specific group.
When questioned by the judges, Bocchini said the Romeikes would not be eligible to apply for citizenship if they lose this case because they would be under an "order of removal." The Romeikes' next option would be to ask the Department of Homeland Security not to enforce the deportation order.
Sutton expressed appreciation for the Romeikes' honesty about their presence in the country and their desire for legal residency. They are "a group of people that was being very straight up" and "not playing games," he said.
The court likely will not render a decision for several weeks.
"It's the parents' right to direct the education of their children," Farris told BP. Homeschooling "is a valid application of that right. ... Parents have the right to teach what they want and avoid what they want."
Sutton and Rogers were nominated by President George W. Bush, Gilman by President Clinton.

Eyewitnesses say men planned to attack University
Paul Joseph Watson
April 19, 2013
Within hours of the FBI naming two culprits in the Boston bombings while aggressively demanding that no attention be focused on any other potential suspects, police found themselves engaged in a deadly shootout with the two individuals, killing one while the other remains on the run.
"Two men identified by law enforcement sources as the Boston Marathon attack suspects — armed with explosives and guns — battled authorities in a Boston suburb early Friday morning, unleashing chaos until cops took one of the men into custody, and the other fled, the sources said. Officials later said the the suspect taken into custody died," reports NBC News.
Doctors said the suspect had "suffered extreme trauma to his trunk area" and had "a combination of blast and gunshot wounds."
Another suspect who was later released was held at gunpoint by police and later marched naked to a squad car.
Eyewitnesses said the suspects set off grenades to try to fight off police and that they also had what looked like backpacks and a "pressure cooker bomb," matching the explosive device used in the Marathon bombings.
The standoff erupted shortly after a Massachusetts Institute of Technology police officer was shot dead after he investigated a disturbance on campus. Some have speculated that the suspects were preparing to attack the University.
One of the alleged culprits has been named by 4chan researchers as Sunil Tripathi, a student who has been missing from his Philadelphia apartment since March 16. It is believed that Tripathi, seen wearing a white hat in the FBI photos, is still on the run while his alleged accomplice is the one who was shot dead by police.
"The fact that Sunil Tripathi's information was able to be dug up so quickly by 4Chan's community and posted hours before the police even managed to engage Sunil in Watertown shows the lightning fast capabilities of alternative news and the internet at large," writes Anthony Gucciardi. "This is why the mainstream media is failing to hold an audience and experiencing dwindling statistics while alternative news sources that capture the pulse of ongoing investigation manage to come out on top."
If we accept that the suspect killed by police was involved in the bombings, any information he could have known about additional accomplices or the numerous private security men that were also walking around the scene of the blast wearing heavy black backpacks, has now been buried.
In addition, a possible Saudi connection to the bombings which led to a "person of interest" being deported shortly after the Saudi Foreign Minister held an unscheduled meeting with President Obama, will also be harder to uncover if police kill the remaining culprit.
In any case where wider involvement in a plot needs to be covered up, the best kind of pasty is a dead patsy, so don't be surprised if Sunil Tripathi meets the same fate as his alleged accomplice within the next 24 hours. Dead men tell no tales.
If the suspects named by the FBI are the ones responsible for the bombings, they appear to have zero connection to the Tea Party, conservatives, gun owners, or libertarians, meaning the likes of Michael Moore and David Axelrod – who both asserted a Tea Party connection within hours of the bombing – got it completely wrong and owe conservatives a pretty hefty apology.

I enjoy all aspects of ecology, but my research focuses on running water environments, from small brooks to the Allegheny River, which runs along the southern edge of campus.
In the early 1990s Jim Miller and I developed a technique for tracing the movement of organic particles in streams, which we used in a small stream in Allegheny State Park.
From 1994-1998 I participated in a large, National Science Foundation-sponsored study of particle transport in Idaho streams. This study was funded by a $600,000 grant to Idaho State University and involved the use of radioactive tracers to track organic particles.
