UEFA Champions League: Marseille v Dortmund
Borussia Dortmund must win at managerless Marseille to be sure of reaching the last 16 of the UEFA Champions League.
Jurgen Klopp's men – runners-up to Bayern Munich last season – currently sit second in Group F courtesy of their superior head-to-head record against Napoli.
Yet any slip up at the Stade Velodrome would give the Italian side, who host Arsenal on matchday six, an opportunity to qualify.
Victory will guarantee Dortmund's progression as they also have the edge over Arsenal, who currently hold a three-point cushion at the top of the group, when it comes to meetings between the two.
Striker Robert Lewandowski is confident his side have what it takes to perform under pressure in France.
He told Dortmund's official website: "I am sure that we will get there (to the last 16)."
However, Lewandowski and his team-mates suffered a blow at the weekend when a 1-0 home defeat to Bayer Leverkusen saw Dortmund slip 10 points behind Bundesliga leaders Bayern.
Sven Bender and Nuri Sahin each suffered ankle injuries in that match and the former will definitely miss out against Marseille, with Sahin rated extremely doubtful.
While Dortmund's preparation for Wednesday's fixture can hardly be considered ideal, Marseille have suffered even greater disruption.
Coach Elie Baup was sacked on Saturday, 24 hours after a 1-0 defeat to Nantes that saw the south coast club lose further ground on the top three in Ligue 1.
Sporting director Jose Anigo has been placed in temporary charge of Marseille and will aim to prevent the team finishing the Champions League group stage without a point to their name.
Marseille were beaten 3-0 at Dortmund in October's reverse fixture, with Lewandowski scoring twice either side of a goal from Marco Reus.
Fifteen teams have previously ended the group stage pointless, although Marseille can perhaps take inspiration from a 3-0 home victory over Dortmund in the 2011-12 Champions League.

Weight loss is never an easy task which is why a significant percentage of the US population is still considered obese. A lot of us are still struggling to shed off the excess fat and despite all the diet pills and fitness plans available in the market today, this continues to be a problem that has yet to face an absolute solution. Technology has introduced every which kind of weight loss aid possible. Manufacturers capitalized on the demand by offering the natural weight loss patch.
There are just a lot of natural weight loss patch brands in the market today, each one claiming to guarantee favorable results. It's seems like an easy way to lose weight. Simply wear the patch on your skin and watch the excess fat go. Sounds too good to be true? One way to find out how effective these patches are is by taking a look at what's in them. Here are two basic components of natural weight loss patches.
vitamins for weight loss, weight loss foods, weight loss programs,
Fucus Vesiculosus
This is bladder wrack seaweed, in layman's terms. Commonly found in the Pacific ocean, this seaweed is mainly used as an ingredient in Japanese food. It is also a known component in hypothyroidism medications. As a weight loss aid, it works as a thyroid stimulant - it makes the body release more hormones that would break down carbohydrates, proteins and fats. In essence, it increases the body's metabolic rate.
Guarana is a plant usually found in Brazil and is a basic component of energy drinks and soft drinks. Its fruit contains three times more caffeine than a coffee bean. Just like the bladder wrack seaweed, guarana works as a stimulant, increasing the body's metabolism. A typical natural weight loss patch could contain a huge amount of caffeine so it's strongly advised that you cut down on coffee and carbonated soft drinks if you intend to use this diet aid.
Natural weight loss patches nowadays usually contain a wide variety of herbs that are purported to aid in weight loss on their own. Before you decide on using a weight loss patch, make sure to consult your doctor first, especially if you have pre-existing medical conditions like hypertension and hyperthyroidism.

Soon after actor Anthony Edwards put out his last cigarette, he decided to run the Chicago marathon.
Like most marathoners, Edwards questioned his ability. But unlike most other runners, he knew that if he could not finish, everybody would know it.
"It was right at the height of 'ER,' so I went under a different name," he said. "I was so worried I wasn't going to make it. It would be like 'Anthony Edwards fails.' "
But Edwards did finish that 1999 race in 4 hours, 13 minutes, 7 seconds, and he went on to run five more, for a total of three in Chicago and three in New York.
Like many celebrities lured to the grueling test of personal endurance,...

Today I posted some of the silver threads in the dark cloud that has become the Mets' season. It got even worse today with the news Francisco Rodriguez has a torn ligament in his right thumb, sustained, of course, in the altercation the other night.
Rodriguez underwent an MRI at the Hospital for Special Surgery and surgery has been recommended.
Rodriguez has a $17.5 million option for 2012 which automatically vests if he finishes 55 games in 2011 AND he finishes 100 games between 2010 and 2011. That might not happen now.
More to the point, the Mets might find cause to terminate his contract based on Rodriguez's actions making him unavailable to pitch. Don't think for a moment the Mets aren't examining that possibility. They'd love to unload his contract and this could be the opportunity.

Initiative 4:
Educate using spatial learning at home and at school
Initiative Coordinators: Susan Levine (Co-PI), Louis Gomez, Thomas F. Shipley
We are building on the research carried out in Initiatives 1 through 3 to inform our efforts to educate in a way that fosters the growth of spatial skills and spatial learning in real-world learning settings. At the same time, the research carried out in Initiative 4 impacts the work carried out in Initiatives 1 through 3 as it helps to identify the kinds of STEM problems that students have difficulty with and the ways in which spatial learning can improve STEM achievement. While our educational research involves a broad range of age groups and STEM disciplines, we are currently focusing on research in two educational arenas: young children (PK through Grade 4), and higher education, with a focus on geoscience but additional work on other STEM disciplines such as engineering, chemistry and physics.
We chose to focus on early learners for several reasons. First, prior work suggests that the malleability of skills may be greatest early in life (Knudsen, Heckman, Cameron & Shonkoff, 2006). Further, early learning provides a foundation for everything that follows. Thus we believe that efforts to enhance spatial learning in preschool and elementary school age children may have large benefits in terms of building skills that have been shown to be important to STEM success. Moreover, we believe that building strong spatial skills early can help prevent spatial anxiety, an impediment to success in the STEM disciplines.
Our research aimed at improving spatial learning in young children occurs in two different educational settings: home and school. Our research in the home environment is observational. We are examining the spatial activities and spatial language that parents engage in with their children, and the relation between this input and children's development of spatial language and spatial skills. Although correlational, our analysis of a large longitudinal database that was gathered as part of an NIH-supported program project grant provides a rich source of hypotheses about the kinds of inputs that are important to building strong spatial skills. These hypotheses are leading to experimental studies that allow us to test whether the inputs that predict strong spatial skills are causal factors in the development of strong spatial skills.
Our research in the school environment uses a Teacher Work Circle (TWC) model, developed by Louis Gomez, to engage teachers as partners in developing new ways to spatialize the existing mathematics curriculum. In a series of TWCs, we are working with a group of teachers to develop activities that improve children's spatial skills and knowledge of spatial language. Our work involves an iterative cycle of activities that starts with teachers and researchers collaborating to develop activities that strengthen spatial skills, teachers trying these activities out in their classrooms, and researchers assessing the frequency and fidelity of their implementations based on checklists that teachers fill out, classroom observations, and periodic meetings and interviews with teachers. We then work with teachers to improve, modify, and add to these activities, and the next iteration of development begins. In addition, we are assessing the impact of spatializing the curriculum by assessing children in experimental and control classrooms on a set of targeted spatial skills at the beginning and end of the school year. Our plan is to compile the curricular activities that are successful into a Spatial Toolkit (see Initiative 5).
Our second focus, geoscience, was chosen because this STEM discipline utilizes many spatial skills, including skills that fall in all four broad categories of spatial skills studied in Initiative 1. Further, our data indicate that geoscientists rate themselves as having more highly developed spatial skills of each of these types than other STEM scientists or individuals in non-STEM fields. Our efforts to improve spatial skill in geoscience students begin with identifying the spatial skills that students need to succeed in the geosciences, through observation of geoscience education, analysis of class materials, and prior published work in this area in the geosciences education literature. When we concentrate attention on particular STEM disciplines, such as our main testbed discipline of geoscience, we identify spatial skills required for expert functioning that have not yet received adequate attention within cognitive science. Thus the spatial skills that are important for success in particular STEM disciplines become the subject of our basic research efforts. In our geoscience research we are developing a test to measure each spatial skill we identify as relevant to expertise in this discipline, and use this set of tests to measure skill levels in experts, and to assess how these skills are acquired over time in geoscience students receiving particular kinds of instruction. This work will feed back to aid SILC's broader mission of characterizing spatial skills in STEM learning.
Working with geoscience experts provides a source of insight about what spatial skills are relevant to their discipline. It also helps guide our efforts to develop each spatial skill, identifying which spatial learning tools might be used in what ways to improve learning. These interventions are being collected into a resource for educators. We will form a group of practicing geoscientists as an analog to the Teacher Work Circle to help us understand the spatial skills that are important for geoscience problems and to help us develop a geosciences workbook. The workbook will provide faculty with a resource for improving students' spatial skills. The long-term goal will be a complete workbook that includes modules for improving each skill. The workbook will be a major contribution to the field because individual professors have had to struggle to help students develop requisite spatial skills on their own, often without much success.
One important component of work in Initiative 4 is the use of CogSketch to develop two types of educational software. Worksheets are a domain-general way of providing feedback and assessment concerning material where spatial configurations and layouts are involved. Design Buddy is aimed at helping engineering design students learn how to communicate via sketches. Students find design highly engaging, and consequently design courses are being added early in engineering programs to help attract and retain students, so technology that facilitates such courses could have an especially beneficial impact. By exploring two very different types of educational software, in quite different domains, we help ensure that CogSketch develops into a generally useful system. Our long-term goal is to bring CogSketch's visual, spatial, and conceptual abilities to the point where it can model the full range of phenomena that occur when people sketch concerning STEM subjects. Clearly, achieving this goal is a tall order, but we can make an excellent start. We view bootstrapping the basic visual and spatial abilities as something that SILC can achieve, over a ten-year period. The basic conceptual reasoning abilities needed for fluent sketch understanding can, we believe, also be achieved during the same period. However, adding appropriate domain knowledge and domain-specific visuospatial skills is an extremely resource-intensive enterprise. Consequently, we decided to focus on two domains in SILC's first five years, geoscience and engineering design education, both of which make heavy use of sketching. During the second five years of SILC, we will go more deeply into modeling expertise and learning in other STEM domains, in order to develop the ideas and software to the point where others can build upon it for a broad variety of STEM areas and student ages. One longer-term goal is to enable CogSketch to support project-based classes more generally, where the need to have experts craft particular domain-specific software remains a significant stumbling block for providing computer-based scaffolding and portfolio assessment.
Supporting spatial learning in young children as well as in college students studying various STEM disciplines requires working on many fronts. It is not enough to study spatial processes by themselves; we must also work to remove known barriers to learning. To this end, SILC is exploring how working memory capacity and motivational and emotional processes impact learning. Studies with adults have shown that anxiety about mathematics negatively impacts math performance through its effects on working memory (Beilock, 2008), and a study carried out with an NSF supplement shows that early elementary teachers' anxiety about mathematics negatively affects the mathematics learning of girls in their classrooms (Beilock et al., 2010). Given known stereotypes about gender and spatial ability, we are extending studies of this sort to the spatial domain.

Alicia Keys & Miguel Tickets!
Alicia Keys fans, if you're ready to hear some of the R&B singer's biggest hits like "Fallin'" and "No One," then find Alicia Keys tickets for a concert near you!
About Alicia Keys
Alicia Keys was born Alicia J. Augello-Cook in Harlem, New York, on January 25, 1981. Keys began playing piano when she was seven, and learned the music of composers such as Beethoven, Mozart, and Chopin. At the age of fourteen she wrote her first song, titled "Butterflyz," which was later included on her debut album Songs in A Minor. At 16, Keys graduated from the Professional Performing Arts School of Manhattan as the valedictorian of her class. Although she was accepted to Columbia University, she decided to pursue a career in music instead of attending college.
After signing with J Records, Keys released Songs in A Minor on June 5, 2001. The album went on to sell over ten million copies and turned Keys into the best selling new artist of 2001. She followed up her first record with The Diary of Alicia Keys in 2003. It sold over 618,000 copies in its first week alone, and went on to sell over 9 million worldwide. Keys' next two albums were equally successful, with the 2005 live album Unplugged reaching platinum certification, and 2007's As I Am going triple platinum. 2009 was a big year for Keys, as she released her latest album, The Element of Freedom in December and was featured on Jay-Z's hit single "Empire State of Mind."
As one of the most successful female artists of her time, tickets for Alicia Keys are bound to sell out fast. Shop with BoxOfficeLive! and get a great selection of cheap Alicia Keys tickets!

And while it's a future in which people don't drive cars, they do have a pretty nifty tramway system that utilized a fleet of 2-seater bubble-cars.Screenshot, MGM Artificial Intelligence: AI (2001) - Made for MovieHandout, Warner Bros. Pictures The Jetsons - You have to hand it to Hanna-Barbera. The Flintstones was a hit, so what did they do? They created a carbon-copy of it that took place in the future - complete with flying cars, robots and cloud cities. The underlying sensibility, though, remained quintessentially early-60s.Screenshot, Hanna-Barbera Robocop (1987) - While it takes place in an unspecified year in the near-future, Robocop remains undeniably an 80s film. The future car of choice? Interestingly, it's a relatively unadorned 1986 Ford Taurus.Screenshot, Orion Pictures And while we're talking about Robocop, we wonder if we'll ever see the 6000 S.U.X. (with its astonishingly-low fuel mileage).Screenshot, Orion Pictures The Fifth Element (1997) - Amazing how some depictions become dated faster than others - and not in a good way. 200 years into the future, we'll be flying in cars that look like crudely-rendered CG animations from the mid- to late-1990s.Screenshot, Columbia Pictures Metropolis (1926) - Fritz Lang's silent sci-fi classic - which remains a visually stunning film - may have been the first to imagine what cars would look like in the future. To this end, they employed the Rumpler TropfenWagen in the film, a car designed by an Austrian former aircraft designer and boasting aerodynamic qualities well ahead of its time.Screenshot, Universum Film (UFA) Demolition Man (1993) - In the future, we'll listen to commercial jingles like they're real songs, Taco Bell will be considered fine dining and we'll use, er, three seashells in the bathroom instead of toilet paper. Oh, and unfrozen cop Sylvester Stallone will chase unfrozen criminal Wesley Snipes around town with the help of a not-yet-famous Sandra Bullock. And police will drive this 1992 GM Ultralite concept car.Screenshot, Warner Brothers Demolition Man (1993) - GM Lean MachineHandout, Warner Bros.

Not only do we get Van Damme travelling through time; but we also get a formidable performance from Ron Silver as the villain. Some pretty cool future cars in Timecop, too, but the standout has to be a super-futuristic-y limo.Screen shot, Universal Pictures Sleeper (1973) - Woody Allen isn't generally known as a sci-fi enthusiast, and yet there's Sleeper, his lone - and highly successful - foray into the genre. There were some great, egg-like futuristic cars featured in the film.Screenshot, United Artists The Last Starfighter (1984) - Chances are, you don't remember this movie. It came out 2 years after Tron and was noteworthy for its heavy use of computer-generated special effects - a rare achievement at the time and a notable step up from lightbikes and glowing frisbees. But aside from mostly being a low-rent Star Wars ripoff, it did feature a pretty neat-looking flying car/spaceship.Screen shot, Warner Brothers Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior (1981) - 1973 Ford FalconHandout, Kennedy Miller Productions Gattaca (1997) - 1963 Studebaker AvantiHandout, Columbia Pictures Corporation Bicentennial Man (1999) - 1996 Mauck MSV 1120sHandout, 1492 Pictures Judge Dredd (1995) - Made for Movie LamborghiniHandout, Hollywood Pictures Minority Report, Movie (2002) - Lexus 2054 EVHandout, Twentieth Century Fox Film Corporation Spaceballs (1987) - Winnebago ChieftainHandout, Brooksfilms Spaceballs (1987) - Made for Movie Mercedes-BenzHandout, Brooksfilms Death Race 2000 (1975) - This low-budget classic doesn't contain futuristic cars per-se, but it (accurately?) predicted that running down pedestrians would become a sport among more adrenaline-addicted drivers.

CHICAGO, Ill. – The Chicago Fire defeated the Houston Dynamo 1-0 Monday morning in MLS Reserve League action at Toyota Park. A seventh minute goal from Uruguayan forward Federico Puppo sealed the victory for the Fire, improving the team's reserve league record to 2-2-0, while the Dynamo fell to 3-1-0.
Windy weather followed Sunday night's threatening thunder and lightning storms that forced the two sides' first team match to be called in the 66th minute. With the strong gusts, the game was moved from the Toyota Park practice field to inside the stadium.
The Fire played with the wind at their back in the first half and used it to their advantage in the seventh minute. Dynamo goalkeeper Tyler Deric played a short goal kick to Adam Moffat, whose clearance out of the back appeared to strike the arm of Puppo. With no whistle, Puppo played on and finished past Deric to put the Fire up 1-0.
The Fire nearly doubled their lead in the 28th minute when Colombian midfielder Rafael Robayo played striker Orr Barouch into the box on the right before a last-second sliding tackle from Brian Ownby saved the Israeli international's effort. Ownby remained down after the player and was eventually substituted in the 33rd minute.
The Dynamo found their best chance of the first half just before the break when Kofi Sarkodie whipped in a swerving ball for Mac Kandji. The Houston striker headed the ball towards the back post but was denied by a diving stop from Fire 'keeper Paolo Tornaghi.
Using the wind to their advantage in the second half, the Dynamo had the lion's share of possession. Their first clear cut chance came in the 64th minute when Alex Dixon's low corner kick was caught by the wind, swerved and forced another diving stop from Tornaghi.
Houston nearly equalized 20 minutes later when Dixon curled a knuckling effort that Tornaghi stumbled to save before recovering to clean up the mess, giving the Fire a 1-0 victory.
The Chicago Fire return to MLS Reserve League play on Sunday, May 13 when they host Sporting Kansas City at 10:00 a.m. CT on the Toyota Park Practice Field. The Dynamo next visit the Colorado Rapids in Reserve League play on Wednesday, May 23 at 11:00 a.m. MT on Dick's Sporting Goods Field 20.

BRISTOL, Tenn. – The King University baseball team opened their home season with a matchup against regional rival Lincoln Memorial University. Tyler Raymond turned in a stellar start, and the Tornado had a 6-2 lead before the Railsplitters evened the score at 6-6 in the seventh inning. Neither team was able to score in regulation or the 10th inning before the game was called due to darkness tied at 6-6.
The Railsplitters (5-4-1) opened the game with a leadoff triple in the top of the first, and Jean Rodriguez drove in Ivan Rodriguez with a sacrifice fly to give Lincoln Memorial the early 1-0 lead.
The Tornado (1-8-1) had answer in the bottom of the inning, however, as Tom Hooker started the bottom of the inning with a triple of his own. Garrett Cook followed with a home run to left field that gave King the lead. The score remained the same until the fourth inning when Geoff Cieslewitz ripped a double to right center that scored J.D. Wallace who singled earlier in the inning.
Nevertheless, the Railsplitters answered in the top of the fifth as Jean Rodriguez ripped a triple that scored an unearned run to cut their deficit to just one run at 3-2.
King added a run in the fifth on a Wallace infield single that scored Cook before the Tornado tacked on two runs in the sixth inning. Joe Ganger came up with the first two-out run scoring hit of the inning, a single up the middle that scored Hunter Smith, who started the inning with a walk. Hooker followed with a double to right field that scored Ganger to give King a 6-2 lead after six innings.
Raymond's day came to an end after six innings as he allowed two runs, one earned on four hits. The Railsplitter offense then awoke in the seventh inning as they plated four runs to even the score at six. After a leadoff single, Ryan Burlison laced a home run to left field, cutting the Lincoln Memorial deficit in half. Scott Miller then ripped an RBI triple to left center before Kelvin Brito evened the score win a run scoring infield single.
Lincoln Memorial looked to take the lead in the eighth inning as they loaded the bases with no outs. King head coach Blaine Brown then brought in Cory Rhodes to get out of the jam. The senior got the first batter to ground into a fielder's choice to third base as Stephen Mullins cut down the go-ahead run at the plate. Rhodes then got the next batter to hit a ground ball to third base where Mullins made a good play and again threw the runner out at home. Rhodes got out of the inning unscathed as he struck out the next batter on a fastball high and away to keep the game knotted at six.
Neither team threatened in the ninth inning, sending the game went to extra innings. The Railsplitters worked a pair of two-out walks in the top of the 10th inning, but Matt Jackson got a groundball to get out of the inning. In the bottom of the frame, Mullins led off with a single, but Josh Coker then struck out the next three batters to end the inning. At that point, the game was called due to darkness, and might be finished at a later date.
Hooker and Mullins paced the offense, going 3-for-5 each while Cook score twice and drove in two runs while going 2-for-4.
King will be in action again on Thursday when they host cross-town rival Virginia Intermont College. First pitch is scheduled for 2:00 p.m.

Getting the Leach to Drop Off
There is a sure way to get Joe to depart from this site and eventually never return: Never, ever respond to anything he posts here no matter how insulting or outrageous. Ignore his input as you would that of an old demented uncle who spouts profanities at the Thanksgiving table. It may be one of the most difficult things you ever do but it is the right thing.
Trolls like Joe feed off the anger they incite, like leaches sucking blood from the host where they have attached themselves.
Leaches inject enzymes into the host body to make the blood flow freely, thus Joe's infuriating little insertions into comments at TAH. Joe dissolves your restraint and every response you write in all your righteous fury is just more blood in the sucking jaws of a leach like Joe. When I was in Vietnam, we got read of leaches by applying the hot tip of a cigarette to their slimy little bodies. That doesn't work with Joe; he thrives on the heat so the only way to get rid of him is to cut off the blood supply. That equals silence.
My suspicion is that Joe is a rather lonely old guy who life has passed by. His self-description of being an armchair geologist indicates he never made it to being the real thing. He craves attention and those who respond to him are feeding red meat to his starving ego which I would wager resembles a Gulag prisoner, shriveled cold beyond belief, emaciated to protruding ribs and lonely as a wandering asteroid. So starve him to death, a troll death, at least. Quit feeding his needy ego and he'll go elsewhere like a wild animal that comes around seeking scraps. No food-no reward-no point in showing up.
So please, do not comment on this piece other than to agree or disagree. Whatever Joe posts, ignore him.
Then learn not to respond to Joe ever again. If he posts a comment, simply ignore it and post what you would have, had the bloodsucker not bitten your butt. When engorged leaches have their fill, they drop off. But more importantly, they learn to not even attach to a surface where no blood is available. Keep that in mind and Joe will remain in the muck of the liberal fever swamp where he belongs and not sucking on the butt cheeks of this blog.
Remember: no blood, soon no leach…

Who: Christen Jackson, Major: Animal science, Hometown: Bismarck, N.D.
What do you recall from being a new student on campus?
"As a new student on campus, I remember trying to find organizations that I fit in with as well as those that were active on campus. Moreover, I wanted to meet many different individuals and make lots of friends. I remember thinking this was a great place for me to start new and to be myself."
Favorite experiences:
"First of all, my favorite experiences would have to be Homecoming. It is so exciting to see the campus and community come together with Bison Pride and fill up the Fargodome cheering on our football team. Also, it is great seeing familiar faces come back to Fargo for a weekend filled with fun events. Additionally, I enjoy the 'families' one creates with their friends from organizations they are involved in."
Future plans:
To earn master's and doctoral degrees. Jackson wants to teach at the university level, coach a dairy judge team and perhaps work in the animal health pharmaceutical industry.
College of Agriculture Ambassadors, Bison Dairy Club, Judging Club, Saddle and Sirloin Club, Livestock Judging Team, Meat Animal Evaluation Team, Dairy Judging Team, Kappa Delta Sorority.
"College is a place for you to start new with a clean slate. Don't be afraid to be yourself and to truly do what you enjoy. No matter what, I can guarantee, you will find someone else who enjoys the same things you do. Don't be shy, go introduce yourself to others; I am sure they are just as nervous as you! Get involved right away in several organizations. Attend football games and other athletic events. Additionally, go to other events that are hosted by campus attractions. Learn time management skills! Lastly, just enjoy every ounce of time you have being a BISON!".

|Engine Control 101: A Haltech Story
|Page 2
|All Pages
Long behind us are the days where carburetors meter fuel and spray it into your engine with little to no computer input. As you know, you now have a computer that controls your fuel injectors and ignition system (among many other things). This ECU (engine control unit) takes information from sensors and figures out just how much fuel to inject and how much to advance or retard the ignition. As the years have gone by, OE manufacturers have added more sensors, each one making a tuner's job of messing with the OEM ECU a little bit more difficult. Now we're at the point where modern ECUs essentially have minds of their own, and can take over your engine and eat your babies.
Aftermarket "piggyback" devices used to work great, as you could predict what a simple factory ECU would do under most circumstances thus enabling you to feed it some crooked information to get the system to do what you want (compensate fueling for larger injectors, for example). There are a ton of these piggyback computers on the market, and I've used a few of them. Many of them actually work great – on older ECUs. Once we get into the baby eating species, with so many sensors each feeding back data for the computer to consider, our piggyback units no longer work so well. There are just way too many variables and more often than not, the piggyback system causes a strange issue to arise, or large, potentially dangerous variations in the tune from day to day as the weather changes.
So what does that mean for the guys that want to put a larger turbo on a Genesis Coupe? Or supercharge a 350Z? Or build a wild high compression K20? Well, we have two options. The first is to reflash the factory ECU, reprogram the targets the it aims for (add fuel, change ignition timing, give it a different injector size, change boost targets etc). With reflashing you're no longer tricking the factory ECU with a piggyback unit- you're actually ordering the changes you want made, and it doesn't argue. Since you've hacked in, the computer no longer wants to eat your babies, but instead have babies with you. Since that's what you told it to want. Reflashing the ECU is only possible with some vehicles depending on whether or not a company has hacked the factory computer and figured out how to reprogram it. The problem with reflashing is that you're often confined to the factory sensors, and if you max them out, you're stuck.
The second option is to run a standalone ECU. A standalone you say? Yes, a standalone. Doesn't it sound all manly and strong? A standalone. All by itself. Taking care of everything. What defines a standalone ECU is a separate, aftermarket computer that takes over full control of the engine where most ECU functions are programmable. The main problem with standalones is that they require a complete modification of the vehicle's wiring harness to adapt the new computer to the old wiring. New sensors are also often required, which sometimes requires a custom install. Wouldn't it be nice if there was just a plug and play standalone ECU? Well that's just what Haltech has done with their Platinum Pro and Platinum Pro Harness series ECUs.
Haltech has been making some of the best standalone ECUs on the market for guys like you and me since I was born in 1986. And like anyone that has been successful in the technology business for that long, they have kept up with the rapid growth and have continually adapted to new challenges and opportunities. Haltech has realized the issues we tuners have with modern engine computers, and have found a way to give us full, safe, and consistent control of the engine, while retaining the factory wiring harness, and integration with the rest of the vehicle's systems (most new cars will essentially shut down all systems if they detect the main ECU is missing – your power windows may even stop working!). ECU installation literally takes five minutes- some initial setup and viola!, you're ready to start the engine. Compare that to two plus weeks to build a custom wiring harness, and you can see why we're excited.

BOSTON (March 12, 2010) -- The 15 finalists for the 2010 Skip Prosser Award were announced on Wednesday, and ETSU men's basketball coach Murry Bartow is among that group.
As of Thursday, all of the finalists have led their respective teams to 18 or more victories this season and five of them - Bartow, Oakland's Greg Kampe, Murray State's Billy Kennedy, Butler's Brad Stevens and Wofford's Mike Young - have secured automatic bids to the NCAA Tournament by virtue of winning their conference tournaments.
In his seven seasons at ETSU, Bartow has been highly successful, leading the Bucs to five conference championships, four postseason tournaments (three NCAAs and one NIT), and four 20-win seasons. In fact, he is the only ETSU head coach to ever lead the Bucs to three NCAA Tournaments.
The Skip Prosser Award was established last year to honor recipients who not only achieve success on the basketball court but who display moral integrity off of it as well. Prosser posted a career record of 291-146 in 14 seasons as a head coach. During his time at Wake Forest, his teams averaged 21 wins per season while playing in arguably the nation's most difficult league, the Atlantic Coast Conference.
The Citadel's Ed Conroy was the winner of the 2009 award and Notre Dame's Mike Brey won the inaugural award in 2008. This year's award will be presented on April 2 in Indianapolis.

Dance On Film ~ Nrityagram: For the Love of Dance
- Library Hall
A film by Nan Melville about India's rare and beautiful Odissi dance form, and the village that is devoted to preserving it.
Nrityagram: For the Love of Dance debuted as an official selection of the Film Society of Lincoln Center and Dance Films Association, Dance on Camera Festival in New York City. The New York Times' chief dance critic Alistair Macaulay said, "Many intelligent points are made, and much of the dance footage, not least during the closing credits, is spellbinding. I wanted the film to be twice as long."
About the film
Film maker Nan Melville first met the Nrityagram Dance Ensemble when they were far from their home base near Bangalore, India. She was assigned by the New York Times to photograph their debut performance In New York in 1996. The rave review that followed launched them on the cultural scene.
Nan was so enchanted by the dancers, and the concept of Nrityagram – a village devoted to dance – that she jumped at Protima Bedi's invitation to visit the school in India – and subsequently decided to make a documentary film about the Nrityagram Dance Village and Ensemble.Her mission is to capture for posterity the story of the dance village and the dancers, and how they promote and develop the Odissi dance form.
The Odissi dance form from the state of Orissa is said to have originated approximately 2000 years ago. Odissi was originally a temple dance meant to entertain the deity. The movements in Odissi mimic the serpentine poses and minutely detailed gestures of Hindu gods in ancient temple sculptures During the British Colonial period in India, colonial administrators discouraged all forms of Indian dance because many in the Victorian Age saw dance as immoral. An act banning female dancers from performing in temples was passed and dance was banished from social life. The patronage of the princes for dance waned and Indian classical dance was not appreciated or taught for decades. Odissi and other Indian dance forms went into decline, nearly disappearing.
In the 1930s, the Indian nationalist movement worked to gain independence from British rule and to revive all forms of Indian art. By the time India achieved independence in 1947, dance was firmly established as an art form worthy of practice. A number of individuals were instrumental in lifting Indian classical dance out of obscurity, and whose influences are still felt to this day. One such individual was Protima Gauri Bedi, a socialite who devoted herself to learning the Odissi dance form after seeing the guru Kelucharan Mohapatra dance in 1975.
In 1988, with the help of many supporters, Protima built Nrityagram – a dance village that is home to an all-female dance ensemble of the same name. Company members live together and study their art with master gurus in the gurukul (house of the guru, or teacher). Odissi is a demanding art. Training for the dancers takes place eight hours a day, six days a week. In this holistic community, in addition to intensive dance training, the dancers learn literature, mythology, poetry, Sanskrit, music, aesthetics, history of dance, philosophy, spiritual thought, and dance theory. They also participate in workshops in martial arts, yoga, mime, meditation, sculpture, etc. The end result is a dance company whose synchronicity and skill in Odissi is unparalleled, and whose dancing reveals none of this effort.
Run time: 30 min.
The Dance on Film series is presented by the Bud Werner Memorial Library, Perry-Mansfield and Steamboat Dance Theatre.
The free screening includes an introduction by dance history professor and Perry-Mansfield Executive Director Joan Lazarus.

Hey guys, I don't post much on this forum, but wanted to let you know about a book I just put together. I thought some of you might like it because I did add a couple of images from sherman and waddle when I was down this past summer.
After months of shooting images throughout the summer, I've decided to throw some of my favorites together and create a book that captures kiteboarding through my camera lens.
This summer has taken me from my home here in the Puget Sound all the way to Cape Hatteras for the tripleS event and then to San Francisco with the Blade Kiteboarding team, with numerous visits along the way to the Columbia River Gorge.
My passion is in capturing pictures of kiteboarding and just wanted the opportunity to share them with you.
I put this picture book together as a coffee table accessory, but wanted to make it available to all of my friends.
I have uploaded this book to http://www.blurb.com and you can order the book to your liking.
It's not for everybody, but if you're into kiteboarding, and want to see some stellar riding, you might like to have this book.
Just so you know, I don't make any money on this. I'm just wanting to share with you my passion for capturing the sport.
Just go to the link to preview the book.
Here's a list of everyone I could remember from meeting them over this past summer.
Gisela Pulido, Teddy Lyons, Mark Miedama, Sam Medysky, Rick Jensen, Susi Mai, Rich Sabo, Chris Burke, Eric Rienstra, Sam Light, Andre Phillip, Colleen Carroll, Billy Parker, Tom Court, Joe Ruscito, Sam Bell, Claire Lutz, Jake Kelsick, Tom van Veen, Josh Mulcoy, Ian Alldredge, Jason Slezak, Patrick Rebstock, Slawek Krauze, Tom Dawson, Ollie, Guacamole Deejay, Brett Newcomb, Sonny Swords, Johnny Walker, Bobby Ngai, John Ruffing, Matteo Soltrane, Alex Barnet , Brad Gordon, Craig Cunningham, Patrick Anderson, Drew Christianson, Chris Bobryk, John Perry, David Drinkwater, Matt Elsasser, Brendan Kerr, Joby Cook, Kellen Hall, Dominick van Veen, Jon Van Malsen, Alex Fox, Evan Netsch, Brandon Scheid, Tommy Fields, Levi Roeseler, Nico Suriel, Oliver Umpierre, Jeff Andrade, Blaine Baker, Grom Gormley, Jan Boersma, Dylan Murphy, Vetea Boersma, Shannon Gormley, Bille Kipling, Paul Porter, Austin Keillor, Jim Hunt, Carol Bolstad, Cameron Rogers, Lia Von Spreckelson, Lindsay McClure, Jessica Withington Sanchez, Laura Maher, Jim Stringfellow

The Texas Rangers have completed a $10 million, one-year deal for six-time All-Star Lance Berkman to be their designated hitter.
The deal that includes a vesting option for 2014 was finalized Monday after Berkman passed a physical.
Berkman, who turns 37 next month, was limited to 32 games in St. Louis last year, when he had surgery twice on his right knee.
The switch-hitter provides the potential big bat for the middle of the lineup the Rangers were seeking after losing Josh Hamilton and catcher Mike Napoli in free agency and trading Michael Young to Philadelphia.
Berkman is a .296 career hitter with 360 home runs and 1,200 RBIs in 1,806 regular-season games, all but 214 with Houston from 1999-2010.

Lavabit Tried Giving The Feds Its SSL Key In 11 Pages Of 4-Point Type; Feds Complained That It Was Illegible
from the kudos-to-ladar dept
"The privacy of … Lavabit's users are at stake," Lavabit attorney Jesse Binnall told Hilton. "We're not simply speaking of the target of this investigation. We're talking about over 400,000 individuals and entities that are users of Lavabit who use this service because they believe their communications are secure. By handing over the keys, the encryption keys in this case, they necessarily become less secure."And it becomes clear that Levison then was actually willing to abide by the initial pen register, to basically figure out a way to just tap Snowden, but at this point the government was no longer willing to stop there. The government pushed for getting the SSL key, basically promising not to abuse it:
"We can assure the court that the way that this would operate, while the metadata stream would be captured by a device, the device does not download, does not store, no one looks at it," [Prosecutor James] Trump said. "It filters everything, and at the back end of the filter, we get what we're required to get under the order."The judge then made a ruling that should cast a massive chill over anyone setting up private communications services:
"So there's no agents looking through the 400,000 other bits of information, customers, whatever," Trump added. "No one looks at that, no one stores it, no one has access to it."
"All right," said [Judge Claude] Hilton. "Well, I think that's reasonable."
[The government's] clearly entitled to the information that they're seeking and just because you-all have set up a system that makes that difficult, that doesn't in any way lessen the government's right to receive that information just as they could from any telephone company or any other e-mail source that could provide it easily."Yikes. So, even if you set up a secure communication system, this judge says that you have to let the feds wiretap it.
Somewhat amusingly, Lavabit tried to comply "by turning over the private SSL keys as an 11 page printout in 4-point type." The feds complained that "the FBI would have to manually input all 2,560 characters, and one incorrect keystroke in this laborious process would render the FBI collection system incapable of collecting decrypted data." Poor, poor FBI. The judge has no problem putting a massive burden on Lavabit, but asking the FBI to actually do some data entry is too onerous? Yup. Apparently. The court then ordered Levison to provide a more useful electronic copy, which then resulted in the $5,000/day fine for failing to live up to that, and then the closure of the site.

"Where is the best place to store firewood for use over winter?"
Well-seasoned firewood is best stored conveniently close to the house undercover. Do not stack the wood against the wall of any wooden building, for the wood may contain carpenter ants, bark borers or other wood-eating pests. You do not wish them to transfer from the firewood to any structure.
By the same token, do not bring into your home any more wood than will be used in one day's burning. The indoor warmth could cause dormant insects to wake up from their winter sleep and begin to roam about the room.
Not only can it be expected that insects found within the wood move about after awakening, but also wood that has been stored outside for a year or more is likely to have a variety of pests such as earwigs hiding in the woodpile for protection that it affords.
From experience, some homeowners make it a practice to debark firewood before it is carried indoors. It is the bark that has dried and is only loosely attached that most often hides hitchhiking pests. Kindling wood is potentially less likely to harbor a population of pests.
Have you had the chimney inspected before use? Chimney fires occur too frequently because of faulty chimney liners or blocked flues. Observe all safety precautions to keep you and your family safe.
We have endured the earlier invasions of Oriental ladybugs, Western conifer seed bugs and various weevils. Avoid, if possible, setting the stage for a new round of invaders.
