We rounded up the submissions for the Your Turn Photo Contest theme of "Sequence This" and we're ready to announce the winner. There was a lot of rapid fire with the cameras and plenty of time spent on Photoshop. The decision was challenging, but in the end a winning sequence has to include the takeoff and landing. The entry that won was created by Matt Palmer, for his photo of Chris White doing an inverted tree to tree transfer.
Matt explained, "It had been an exceptionally dry January in Tahoe and I was running out of time to come up with a unique shot for the photo contest. With twenty-four hours to spare, my friend Chris White responded and told me about this idea for an "Invert Tree Transfer" located right outside his front door. The snow was extremely difficult to build with, but we were able to fire off a few sequences before the lip self destructed. I told him I wouldn't submit the photo unless he stuck it with a grab. He didn't disappoint."
Matt Palmer wins a photo prize pack; including a Burton Snowboard photo pack and Celtek photo mittens, as well as being entered into the final drawing for the grand prize: a trip to High Cascade Photo Camp this summer! Congratulations Matt!

Hello Friend!
this is a blog about a show Mel Kadel and I (Travis Millard) did recently at the Richard Heller Gallery in Santa Monica, California. We had a split show together in 06, and since then Richard expanded into the space next door, so we each had a room to fill. Mel and I were snapping flicks in the week leading up to the opening. Here's what went on~~ -Travis Millard
Woke up Super Tuesday and kicked the day off with a punch-card, then hit the gallery.
This is Luke. Luke is a wizard. He hung both shows with spooky efficiency. He also plays in a music band called Bi-Polar Bear. You can find them on the popular Myspace website.
I pinned a group of drawings up, and it took me almost as long as it took Luke to hang both rooms. I was embarrassed. Face on my Case.
While i was busy bruising my thumb with the pins (should'a brought the thimble!), Luke handled Mel's room before i could take many pictures.
(elapsed time: 7 minutes, approx.)
Got back home, and broke out the Gocco to print some covers for a zine i was trying to get done before the show.
Mel was in the other room trying to get her new book together in time too.
Broke out of the house a little later and hit the city...
Got to see some old friends from Kansas, "Blood on the Wall" play at Spaceland. They're on tour with their 3rd record, "Liferz". It was pretty stellar.
My hungry parents from Kansas showed up at our door the next morning (hide the bongs!), so we got some breakfast at a greasy spoon down the road.
It was their first time in Los Angeles, so i figured we'd drive them around and show off some sights and sounds.
One of my favorite landmarks, the rotating "Happy Foot / Sad Foot Sign". Beloved for it's depiction of a VERY happy foot, and a VERY sad foot.
Danzig's house
By the end of the drive, they were pretty burnt out, and so were we. So we all went back to the cabin and had a breakdance tournament, but i don't have any pictures of it.
A bunch of other shit happened, but let's speed this along. Now we're at the opening, and this is a few selections from Mel's room... apologies for the photo quality...
Mel's Padre and Susan were in town all week long too, but sadly, we didn't get many photos. we were just hanging out, off the record.
My folks wanted a picture by the art too but had to prep a little.
The Evens!
The Andy Jenkins Family!
Kiel showed up with his new spider bite!
Little Eli took Jeremy and Claire Weiss out for a spin on the town!
the lovely Jmon and Jammie came in from SF...
The brothers Ternowsky! Mike T and Pubes!
This gentleman showed up with some things on his mind...
Richard and Ashley, makin it happen (thanks guys)
A famous art critic who may be reviewing the show...
Many thanks to everyone who came out to the show. It'll still be up til March 8th, so if you find yourself in the neighborhood, give it a gander.
We got those books together too. They're available at fudgefactorycomics.com if you're into it.
Let's wrap this up with a picture of Mel when she was 3 with a skinned chin.

Author Notes: Moist with pureed fresh corn and buttermilk, these biscuits have the loveliest buttery yellow color, with the gorgeous flecks of fresh corn shining through. Serve these warm with some fresh, rich butter with a summer dinner and your friends will swoon. The breakfast possibilities are endless. Serve one with a slice of fresh tomato for a burst of summer flavor. And a buttered biscuit with a slice of bacon is a real treat. - TheRunawaySpoon —TheRunawaySpoon
Food52 Review: Let me just start by saying I have never made biscuits. Not from bisquick, and certainly not from scratch. So I took this recipe on as a challenge. TheRunawaySpoon's directions are clear and concise -- perfect for a beginner. I dove in and made a batch, and, well -- user error. I manhandled the dough, and the biscuits, while tasty, were a bit doughy. So I fed them to the deer and made a second batch and guess what! Light hands make light biscuits! Delicious and buttery, with sweet pops of corn throughout. I was glad for the mention that they don't brown on top -- that would have freaked me out and I would have over cooked them. I found them especially good with ginger peach jam. And I thank TheRunawaySpoon for teaching me to be a biscuit maker! - aargersi —The Editors
Makes: 12 - 14
cup butter
ears corn, husks and silks removed
cup buttermilk (preferably whole)
cups all-purpose flour (preferably White Lily), plus more for dusting
teaspoons baking powder
teaspoons kosher salt
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Line an 8 by 11 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- Melt 1/3 cup of the butter and set aside to cool. Cut the kernels off two ears of corn and place in a blender. Puree until very smooth (you can add a drop of buttermilk to get things going if needed). Pour the puree into a 2-cup measuring jug. You should have about 1 cup puree. Add buttermilk to measure 2 cups of liquid. Return the liquid to the blender, add the melted butter and blend until smooth.
- Cut the kernels off of the third ear of corn, picking out as much silk as you can, and set aside.
- In a large, wide bowl, mix 3 ½ cups flour, the baking powder and salt with a fork until blended. Make a well in the center of the flour and pour in the wet ingredients. Using the fork, blend everything together, pulling the flour into the wet ingredients until everything is incorporated. Lightly flour your hands and work in up to another ½ cup of flour until you have a soft, cohesive dough. Drop in the corn kernels and knead a few times until they are distributed throughout the dough. Don't be mean to this dough or it won't be sweet to you.
- Lightly flour a work surface and turn the dough out onto it. Lightly knead the dough a few times, then pat it out into a circle 1-inch thick. Using a floured 2- inch biscuit cutter, cut the biscuits by just pressing down and lifting out – don't twist the cutter. Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet almost touching. You can pat out the dough scraps to cut more biscuits, but they are never quite as pretty. Bake the biscuits for 8 minutes.
- While they biscuits are baking melt the remaining butter. After 8 minutes in the oven, remove the biscuits and brush the tops with the melted butter. Return to the oven for another 2 or three minutes until the biscuits are done. They won't brown on top, but when they are firm to the touch they are ready.

- For spoiler discussion, see this talk page
|This article has previously been the subject of edit wars. Please do NOT place spoilers on the page, or on this talk page.
This article requires expansion. Michelle's proclivities during dating should be listed, as well as how, when, where, and by whom she is introduced to Niko Bellic. Because I have no familiarity with GTA IV, I must leave it to my fellow GTW editors! EganioTalk 07:53, 17 July 2008 (UTC)
Likes / Dislikes
It's been a while since iv'e had to date Michelle so I won't add anything straight to the article without checking first, but i'm sure i remember that she liked eating at resturants, seeing shows (I went to the caberat club) and once I put my waypoiunt on a resturant but when i got there i parked in the wong marker, it was a bar, but she seemed to like it.
Obviousley because its her idea in the First Date mission that she must like bowling (but of course not too often)
Biggest gta fan ever 05:40, 19 July 2008 (UTC)
Now that we know her name isn't Michelle Stone, the second word in the article needs to be deleted. Of course I can't do it myself because of the protection. Biggest gta fan ever 09:44, 1 August 2008 (UTC)
- I've know done changed the name. A-Dust 10:06, 1 August 2008 (UTC)
Protection + Spoilers?
Hey, just came across this page and noticed it seems kind of lacking. I understand partially the idea of not placing spoilers on the page (in regards to Karen), however it could at least be improved to include the kind of information in other GTA IV Girlfriends articles like Carmen's. Since the page is protected, it's difficult to get the edits into the page. I'm just wondering what the rationale for the protection is (if it's over worry of adding spoilers or an edit war due to debate on spoilers, I assume that the consensus to not add spoilers could be commented into the edit page at the top so that editors would notice this, while those who wanted to avoid spoilers still would see only a comment along the lines of "Please don't add spoilers regarding Karen to this page" or something).
In addition to the protection concern, I'm wondering what the reasoning for not including spoilers on this page really is. I'm new to this wiki and therefore not 100% sure on it's stylization standards, but I would assume that continuity would be maintained between articles on the same types of subjects. Since Kate's page just includes a spoiler alert and nothing else, I don't see why this couldn't be matched to that. I understand that redirecting Michelle to Karen would cause problems, but since Karen is an extremely minor character (after she becomes Karen), I'd still think it's better to make Michelle into a page similar to Carman's and Kate's and the rest of the girlfriends, tagging the spoiler and having Karen redirect to Michelle. Dylnuge 23:45, 20 January 2009 (UTC)
- Firstly, there has been extended discussion about how to deal with the spoiler. Yes, the protection is because of the spoiler, so that new users who don't know about the separate page don't add it. You are welcome to discuss this, but please use the other talk page. I don't entirely agree with the protection myself, but I agree that it's the best way to keep the spoilers out. As for non-spoiler expansions, simply type what you want on the page, and I will add it. Thanks! Biggest GTA Fan EverTalk 00:02, 21 January 2009 (UTC)
- I did read the discussion/debate at the other page, and I'll move the spoiler discussion over there (though I did attempt to keep what I said above spoiler free). I still think that protecting a page goes against the general ideology of a wiki (anyone can edit) and shouldn't really be done for an extended period of time unless absolutely necessary, or if there is no reason for a general user to edit the page. This doesn't really seem to merit either (again, I'll point out that I'm not familiar with policy on GTW and apologize if I'm mistaken). Even if spoilers are to be excluded from the page, a warning of some type (a comment or even a box at the top of the page saying Do not add Spoilers to this Page) could be useful. GTA IV came out more then half a year ago on console, so I'm pretty sure that if protection is still being maintained here then it's probably permanent. Dylnuge 00:33, 21 January 2009 (UTC)
- As for things that could be added/changed: Van links to article about the GTA II vehicle, this could be changed to link to Vehicles in GTA IV (I don't see a more appropriate article, perhaps no link is needed). A section could also be added on Michelle's background and personality (she recently moved to Liberty City from the Midwest and doesn't know a lot of places, she prefers variety (expressing interest in new cars and pointing out if Niko is wearing the same outfit or takes her to the same place constantly), and tends to express concern in Niko's involvement in criminal activities while being naive enough to believe his denials).
- I will add/change all that stuff. Also, the protection isn't permanent. It's just sticking around for now because some people have only recently played the game for the first time on PC, and in some parts of the world (like where I live in Australia), the PC version isn't even released yet. Biggest GTA Fan EverTalk 00:55, 21 January 2009 (UTC)
I would like to discuss the possibility of Michelle being from Scotland. If you, when on a date, decide to go play darts with her, the flag on her darts is Scottish. I think that this might be true since Niko has a Serbian flag and so does Roman, and I also know that Packie's darts have Ireland's flag on them. I'm not sure about the rest of the characters though, could somebody confirm this or is the Scottish flag just some sort of default dart pattern/texture? I mean this sounds sort of silly, but I wanted to hear what you guys think.
She could have a friend in Scotland who she got the darts from? She couldn't be Scottish herself, her voice is too American. Maybe she just likes Scotland? Could be a default pattern for her.Project Harbinger 10:53, July 3, 2010 (UTC)
Adding lists of Michelle's favorite cars/restaurants/etc.
I'm going to add a couple lists under "preferences" to show what cars Michelle prefers, restaurants, venues, etc.
I think this should have been done LONG ago, especially since new users/players to the game can better know what to do during a date. I'll also add the same lists to the other girlfriends later on.
Also, I edited the part that talks about Michelle "not minding" Niko wearing more expensive clothing. That is completely false. She doesn't like anything from Modo or Perseus.
Should the K--- and Michelle (GTA IV) articles be merged
Seeing as Michelle is a alias for K--- in the game I think both articles should be merged into one to avoid confusion. --Red Polar Bear Ranger 19:44, September 25, 2009 (UTC)
- We've had this discussion many times. The article is separate to hide the secret about Michelle. Please discuss that here. Gboyers talk 00:35, September 27, 2009 (UTC)
End Spoiler Warnings
Geez, man. The recent removal of spoilers because of this section is ridiculous. The game has been out for nearly a year, and I'm pretty sure most people would have been bloody aware of her by now. Shouldn't there be a limit on how long we hold back on spoilers? - ZS 18:56, November 19, 2009 (UTC)
- I agree, but we need to discuss this and make a decision. We can't just have one person randomly deciding that it's alright, since clearly there has been a lot of discussion on this. Gboyers talk 19:00, November 19, 2009 (UTC)
- That's cool. But I'll bring it up again some other time. There's no urgency. - ZS 19:10, November 19, 2009 (UTC)
- I think it's about time for a merge now. --Bluesboyjr (talk|edits) 19:59, 25 April 2014 (BST)
- I disagree with this, I personally still know a few people who are obsessed with GTA but have only played most of the 3D Universe are eager to play HD Universe games like GTA IV and haven't yet, due to either lack of a next gen console or money. A few of them also use the Wiki for information. Just because something is 6 years old it shouldn't mean it suddenly becomes spoiler ridden everywhere... there will always be someone new to the series and the game. Having spoilers can be irritating, not having spoilers doesn't hurt anyone so why does it matter? If you already know that Michelle is Karen anyway, then why do you need to merge? I think we should keep the pages separate. Grand Theft AJ (talk|edits) 23:04, 25 April 2014 (BST)

Windows® Vista Drivers:
This page discusses Windows® Vista Drivers and how to properly
identify and download them. It also explains the importance of keeping your
drivers up-to-date and the challenges with updating drivers.
Note: You can automatically download the correct
Windows® Vista Drivers by downloading the DriverUpdate™
Utility below.
Your machine is currently running: Windows®
The DriverUpdate™ utility is compatible with your operating system
Free Scan for Windows® 10, 8, 7, Vista & XP Operating Systems. Charges apply for license with premium features. See registration process for full details.
Despite the end of Microsoft's mainstream support for the
Windows® Vista operating system,
Windows® Vista remains a common and popular operating
system for Windows® computer users everywhere. Many
users have simply yet to make the jump to the new standard. New
hardware devices are still designed to support legacy operating
systems like Windows® Vista, but special drivers are
required to accommodate the older technology. Updating to the most
current device drivers for hardware devices that interface with
Windows® Vista will increase the performance, speed,
and compatibility of those devices with other hardware devices and
with Windows® Vista itself. Drivers are small pieces
of software that contain the instructions and function sets for a
hardware device. Each hardware device has it's own unique driver
that instructs the device how to communicate with other hardware
devices and the operating system.
Drivers are instructions. A driver instructs a CPU
(processor), how to communicate with a hard-drive. In
the same vein, a driver provides the instructions for communication
between a hardware device and software.
Drivers create compatibility. This is especially so in the case of
Windows® Vista because it is now the operating system
that is trying to keep up with the hardware devices when
traditionally it is vice versa. Without drivers, a computer is
incomplete. Updating Windows® Vista drivers improves
the relationships between all of the components that work together
to make a computer. With a strengthened foundation of compatibility
between hardware and hardware, and hardware and software, the speed
and performance of all individual working parts increases with
significant notice.
Driver software for existing hardware devices is in constant
development, even after the release of newer hardware devices. The
hardware developer researches new ways to improve the physical
hardware device by making changes to the driver that improve
efficiency. The driver update is distributed at no cost in a package
hosted on the hardware device manufacturer's website.
However, navigating through an entire website to find a single file
package can be frustrating and unfruitful for some. Given that the
driver is found, it typically requires manual installation. This is
just one of the many common issues with Windows®
Vista drivers and drivers in general that both developers and
computer users have encountered. Developers are challenged when
testing driver improvements. The goal is to improve speed and
performance while maintaining and even improving stability and
compatibility with other hardware and software components. Yet users
do not benefit from these enhancements because they cannot obtain
and install the updates.
Drivers provide compatibility, but some users are inclined to feel
otherwise. Many novice users find drivers, their purpose and their
maintenance confusing and a hassle. Yet the greater waste of time is
waiting 10 minutes for a computer to boot up completely, just so you
can check your email. Windows® Vista drivers have
their own faults. Drivers installed at the factory are quickly
replaced with better, more up-to-date drivers that driver software
developer's produce
after the initial release of the device.
But, people are not machines that all know how to find, download and
install new drivers. We have compiled a guide to fixing
Windows® Vista drivers manually. However,
while more advanced users might find this an easy task, most would
not even be able to describe the device in detail, let alone update
it's driver. This presents a problem for the implementation of
drivers. Updated drivers can't be used unless installed. Users who
don't have the knowledge to do this when their drivers become
out-of-date or worse, corrupted, are often left with
malfunctioning or inoperable hardware.
This used to be a big issue at the dawn of Windows®
as first-time
users were already struggling to adapt to the computer. At that
there were many needed improvements, but a simple, user-friendly
solution for managing drivers was needed badly. This task was met
with many challenges, but eventually produced a simple
interface known as the device manager.
Downloading the correct Windows® Vista Drivers for
your system can be an extremely difficult task. Unforeseen driver
conflicts can cause system instability, device malfunctions, or
worse, cause your PC to stop working entirely. There are so many
different devices installed on today's computers that even expert PC
technicians rely on automated tools to do the dirty work for them.
Fortunately, you don't have to be an expert PC Technician to use
Slimware's DriverUpdate™
With one click, DriverUpdate™ automatically determines
the correct, most up-to-date drivers for your system. What's more,
DriverUpdate™ is designed to locate drivers that are
specifically designed to run on your computer. This helps guarantee
your computer won't encounter errors from incorrect or out-of-date
drivers and resolves any driver conflicts you may not know about.

Asia, home to some of the world's fastest-growing economies, is also aging fast.
According to a United Nations estimate, 62 percent of the population in the Asia Pacific region will be 60 years and above by 2050. More research from the U.S.-based East-West Center forecasts Asia's average age will increase to 40 years in 2050 from 29 in 2000.
The world's third-largest economy, Japan, is getting older at the fastest pace. By 2025, nearly 30 percent of its population will be 60 and above, according to the UN. The world's most populous country, China, will also have 250 million people over the age of 60 by 2025 — a 35 percent increase from 2009, according to government statistics.
Asia, which has played a major role in powering global growth over the past few decades, is undergoing a major demographic change that presents both challenges and opportunities.
From a boom in healthcare services and insurance products to changing dynamics in labor markets, we map the emerging trends resulting from this dramatic demographic shift. Click ahead for eight ways investors can tap into this "gray" market.

January 2008
In January 2008, study results were reported in a medical journal detailing the Staph infection called MRSA (pronounced MER-SUH). The response to these results by various media has made some people concerned about getting the infection. The recent study suggested that MRSA may be an STI, or sexually transmitted infection. However, the study was not designed to answer this question.
Staph is short for Staphylococcus aureus, a common bacteria found on the skin and other body parts of healthy people. Most of the time Staph doesn't cause problems but it can sometimes cause an infection, usually on the skin, most of which are minor. Though it occurs less often, Staph can also get inside the body and cause more serious infections.
MRSA is short for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. Far fewer people carry MRSA -- about 1%. Many of these people still do not develop infections. However, MRSA can cause the same kind of infections as other forms of Staph, but it can also cause more severe infections even in healthy people. MRSA does not respond to a type of antibiotics that includes methicillin. This means that MRSA should be treated with different kinds of antibiotics than are used for ordinary Staph.
Below are links to other documents that may help you understand more about MRSA, how to prevent it and how to treat it.

He thought he was on vacation from all the usual battling that goes on in the Supreme Court, but little did Justice Stephen Breyer know, he was in for a much bigger fight. He and his wife, along with two other guests, were in their vacation home on the Caribbean island of Nevis last week when an intruder came in with a machete. The man ended up stealing $1,000 in cash before fleeing the scene. No one has been arrested, and it's not yet clear whether the robber knew who Breyer was. Supreme Court Justices are offered protection by the U.S. Marshals Service when they travel, but there is no comment on whether there was a marshal anywhere nearby when this happened. Thank goodness nobody was hurt, and that dumb bandit better hope he never gets caught because you can bet the full force of the law is going to be smacked down upon him.

"Ok! Who wants to talk about my AMAZING HAIR! Lmao (laughing my a**e off)! So many hilarious description (sic)! 'Cher's wearing puppies on her head'. Just btwn (between) us I was nervous. My throats been sore. Last night may not have been (the) best tech performance, but my heart was in it."


text: Rhye 0 Posted May 5, 2013 I've been on the regimen for about two months or longer and have seen little to no improvement at all, for about a week at one point i was clear and right now its the worst its ever been. I am not 100% sure but from research im guessing i suffer from hormonal acne as I am a guy and my face is COMPLETELY clear but my jawline/chest/back are absolutely disgusting (worst being jawline). I have been experimenting with other things on the regimen on the way through which is probably frowned upon i suppose but my current regimen is: AM Gamophen triclosan medicated soap (only for back chest shoulders, too harsh for face and cant afford to use BP on those areas) Cetaphil cleanser Benzoyl Peroxide 2.5% gel Cetaphil moisturizer PM Gamophen (read above) Cetaphil cleanser BP 2.5% Cetaphil Moisturizer 100mg of Blackmore's zinc supplement 3000mg of Blackmores evening primrose oil supplement I have also been experimenting with using Apple Cider Vinegar as a spot treatment only. I have also heard Fish oil supplements reduce inflammation better than evening primrose, if this is true i would prefer to be on that but dont want to be on both, im not sure if i should switch? just looking for answers as it really doesnt seem to be working and ive had bad acne for 5 years now and im 18 and have seen many derms and cant get rid of it, the only thing i havent been on is accutane but i really dont want to.

Challenges and solutions for Middle East Energy & Resources
Deployment of nationals in a post-oil economy
The challenges that we address in this whitepaper include an ageing workforce in an oil and gas industry already grappling with an underweight qualified junior talent pool, as well as nationalization pressures from governments to reduce heavy, costly reliance on expatriates.
The energy and resources industry has been the backbone of the Middle East's economic development in recent years as a result of an increase in the global oil and gas demand and rising prices. The MENA region accounted for around 50 percent of the world's global oil reserves and around 40 percent of the global natural gas reserves in 2013, which makes the region a key player in the oil and gas industry worldwide. The abundance of these precious commodities in the MENA region brought several advantages to the oil and gas-rich countries as oil and gas exports were a major catalyst for economic development and wealth accumulation. Oil and gas companies operating in this region also benefited from the increase in oil and gas demand over the years, a situation that has presented them with challenges as well. The challenges that we address in this whitepaper include an ageing workforce in an oil and gas industry already grappling with an underweight qualified junior talent pool, as well as nationalization pressures from governments to reduce heavy, costly reliance on expatriates. The long term sustainability of the oil and gas industry will largely depend on the ability and willingness to embrace these challenges through corporate and governmental initiatives. The oil and gas industry in the MENA region and the world is facing a shrinking talent pool as older, more experienced oil and gas employees retire or leave the industry, while a more junior workforce lacks the technical, vocational and soft skills required by the industry. The Society of Petroleum Engineers estimates that up to 50 percent of skilled engineers could retire within the next five to seven years, presenting an immense human capital and talent management challenge to the oil and gas industry. Moreover, oil rich countries in the MENA region lag behind their global counterparts in the number of engineering and science university students that graduate every year. Only 6 percent of GCC students graduating in 2012 majored in engineering and science, compared to 24 percent in Malaysia. Despite being a highly automated industry, the human capital element remains critical as oil and gas jobs require a wide array of skills ranging from highly technical to operational and commercial. Acquiring expertise in these areas requires years of training and experience in ambiguous and challenging situations, and such training and experience is lacking in the more junior workforce.
With companies in the MENA region facing nationalization challenges, oil and gas companies continue to face a dilemma of reducing their heavy dependence on expatriates in the wake of a shortage in skilled and qualified nationals. What can be done to deploy national talent in the MENA region's oil and gas industry?

Professor's and Student's Perceptions and Experiences of Computational Simulations as Learning Tools
Published on
Computational simulations are becoming a critical component of scientific and engineering research, and now are becoming an important component for learning. This dissertation provides findings from a multifaceted research study exploring the ways computational simulations have been perceived and experienced as learning tools by instructors and students. Three studies were designed with an increasing focus on the aspects of learning and instructing with computational simulation tools. Study One used a student survey with undergraduate and graduate students whose instructors enhanced their teaching using online computational tools. Results of this survey were used to identify students' perceptions and experiences with these simulations as learning tools. The results provided both an evaluation of the instructional design and an indicator of which instructors were selected in Study Two.
Study Two used a phenomenographic research design resulting in a two dimensional outcome space with six qualitatively different ways instructors perceived their learning outcomes associated with using simulation tools as part of students' learning experiences. Results from this work provide a framework for identifying major learning objectives to promote learning with computational simulation tools.
Study Three used a grounded theory methodology to expand on instructors' learning objectives to include their perceptions of formative assessment and pedagogy. These perceptions were compared and contrasted with students' perceptions associated with learning with computational tools. The study is organized around three phases and analyzed as a collection of case studies focused on the instructors and their students' perceptions and experiences of computational simulations as learning tools. This third study resulted in a model for using computational simulations as learning tools. This model indicates the potential of integrating the computational simulation tools into formal learning experiences in terms of content, formative assessment and pedagogy.
These three studies capture the complexity of learning environments that adopt computational simulations as learning tools in graduate engineering education. The results of these studies have implications in the areas of engineering and science education, simulation-based learning environments development, and instructional design.

Research into the growth of neurons in the brains of mice at the University of South Florida has led to an unexpected finding: Psilocybin, the psychedelic ingredient of certain mushrooms, might one day help treat post-traumatic stress disorder.
Juan Sanchez-Ramos, a professor of neurology at USF, and a former researcher in his laboratory published their findings this summer in the journal Experimental Brain Research. They were attempting to determine the effects of psilocybin on the creation of new neurons in the brain, which helps learning and the development of short-term memory. It's a process known as neurogenesis.
Sanchez-Ramos said that in some situations, as when a cancer patient is undergoing chemotherapy, the ability to form new neurons is inhibited.
"One of the important things that we know is that if you destroy the capacity to bring new neurons into being, you will have problems with some aspects of memory," Sanchez-Ramos said. "One of the side effects (of chemotherapy), besides hair loss … is that you inhibit the birth of new neurons. This can mean memory problems and learning problems."
He and former Ph.D. student Briony Catlow set out to see if small doses of psilocybin in lab mice affected memory. Catlow is now at the Lieber institute for Brain Development at Johns Hopkins Bioscience Park in Baltimore.
They used a classical conditioning experiment: Mice were introduced into a cubicle. They would hear a tone, then receive a slight shock resembling a static electricity snap, which would lead them to freeze in place.
The researchers then looked for fear conditioning in the mice. How long did it take for them to anticipate the shock after hearing the tone?
The psilocybin did not appear to make a difference in how quickly the mice picked up the fear response. But there was, as Sanchez-Ramos described it, a "serendipitous observation."
Another measure of classical conditioning is "extinction" — when the tone is sounded but not followed by a shock. How long does it take for the mouse to un-learn the behavior?
The mice that were given the psilocybin doses lost the fear response much faster.
Sanchez-Ramos speculates that perhaps very low doses of psilocybin might help soldiers, for example, recover from PTSD.
Consider how a loud unexpected noise such as a car backfiring might trigger an anxiety episode; might the chemical help that person un-learn the behavior?
Another application might be for drug addicts or alcoholics introduced to an environment — exposed to drug paraphernalia, or entering a bar — that could trigger a relapse. "There's a lot of classical conditioning with withdrawal symptoms," Sanchez-Ramos said.

I'm sometimes asked how, as someone who testified 42 years ago against the Vietnam War in which I had fought, I could testify in favor of action to hold the Assad regime accountable today. The answer is, I spoke my conscience in 1971 and I'm speaking my conscience now in 2013. Secretary Hagel and I support limited military action against Syrian regime targets not because we've forgotten the lessons and horrors of war -- but because we remember them. Make no mistake: If another Vietnam or another Iraq were on the table in the Situation Room, I wouldn't be sitting at the witness table before Congress advocating for action.
I spent two years of my life working to stop the war in Vietnam, and made enemies and lost friends because of my decision to speak my mind. So I don't come to my view on the use of military force anywhere without real reflection. I do so with an eye towards facts and reason. I am informed by Vietnam, not imprisoned by it. And I am informed by Iraq, not imprisoned by it, either. The faulty intelligence of the Iraq War was a legacy burned into all of us who present the case for action in Syria to the Congress: It has made us press with extra urgency to know that we are highly confident of what we speak now. For me and for Chuck Hagel, who voted once before on an intelligence case that turned out not to be true -- and regretted it deeply -- we would never put any Member of Congress in that same position today, period. I understand the temptation to remember Vietnam and Iraq and reflexively paint any subsequent possible military action with the same brush. But to do so ignores what Syria is, and what it isn't. There will be no boots on the ground in Syria. There will be no open-ended commitment. There will be no assuming responsibility for another country's civil war. These and other differences with Iraq are the exact reasons why many members of Congress who opposed that war and voted against it are supporting this action against Syria today.
So what is Syria? It would be a tailored action to make clear that the world will not stand by and allow the international norm against the use of chemical weapons to be violated with impunity by a brutal dictator willing to gas hundreds of children to death while they sleep. Our action would be a limited and targeted military action, against military targets in Syria, designed to deter Syria's use of chemical weapons and degrade the Assad regime's capabilities to use or transfer such weapons in the future. So what's at stake here that caused the President to come to the Congress and ask Congress to authorize action? Those of us who believe in the international order and believe in efforts to ensure that certain international norms against chemical weapons are respected -- we have much at stake in this debate. For nearly 100 years, the world has stood up for an international norm against the use of chemical weapons.
There's a reason why the United States joined the Geneva Conventions. There's a reason why the United States and 98 percent of the world are signatories to the Chemical Weapons Convention. The reason is this: our nation is safer when these norms are strong. Our interests are protected when these weapons cease to exist. Our allies and partners are protected when these threats are reduced. The world agrees with us: chemical weapons were used in east Damascus on August 21st. Dozens of countries or organizations around the world acknowledge the use of chemical weapons in Syria, and of those, many have said so publicly. Many countries or organizations have also stated in public or in private that the Assad regime is responsible. And we continue building support around the world every day.
As part of that effort, this weekend I will meet with European Foreign Ministers in Vilnius, Lithuania, where I will continue to lay out the evidence we have collected and seek to broaden support for a limited military response to deter the Assad regime from launching another chemical weapons attack. Let me be clear: I have no doubt that Assad will use chemical weapons again and again unless we take action. I have no doubt that we will never get to the negotiating table for the peace talks we have pushed for if Assad believes he can gas his way out of his predicament, just as we'd never have gotten to the peace talks that lead to the Dayton Accords if military action hadn't been part of the equation. I have no doubt that if we look the other way, we risk not only Assad's repeated use of chemical weapons within Syria, but downstream consequences for our allies and friends in the region including Israel, Turkey, Jordan, Lebanon, and Iraq.
When I hear firsthand about panicked parents in Israel rushing to buy gas masks for their children, I am reminded of so many who live so close to Assad's reign of terror. And I have no doubt that for anyone who wants to see a diplomatic solution to two of the world's most pressing proliferation challenges -- Iran and North Korea -- ask yourselves: Are these two countries more or less likely to plunge ahead with proliferation and provocation if they see Assad's actions go unanswered? I would argue that we all know the answer to this question: They are more likely to do so.
The costs of inaction here are much greater than the costs of action. Some people have asked why we would consider acting without the backing of the United Nations Security Council. It's the same reason that President Clinton in Kosovo did not bind his conscience to a Russian or Chinese veto in New York: In Kosovo, without a single American combat casualty, countries of conscience acted and the world is a better place because we did. It was the right thing to do then, and it is the right thing to do now. We already know who used chemical weapons. We know when they were used and how they were used. We wish the United Nations today were in a position to defend these norms rather than being blocked from acting by Russian and Chinese obstruction -- because we believe in the institution.
But we also believe in the principle that we cannot turn our backs and say there's nothing we can do. We cannot allow these weapons to be used to slaughter innocents with impunity. This is a vote of conscience. And I know that the same reasons that compelled me to join the United States Navy and serve, and the same reasons that compelled me to speak out against the war in which I'd fought, tell me now that the cause of conscience and conviction is the cause for action in Syria.
About the Author: John Kerry serves as the 68th Secretary of State of the United States.
Editor's Note: This entry appeared first on The Huffington Post.
Dear Sec. Kerry,
I'd like to cut through all the hubbub and media cannon fodder expresed in some of these comments, and just say thanks for making the best of a bad situation and I was just wondering since my granddad was a metalugist if there was going to be any metalurgical tests done on the weapons debri found with cryllic writing on it, and whether Mr. Lavrov would care to make a bet with me that the sample from the chem. weapons site found would be an exact metalurgical match to the same type weapon manufactured in Russia, since he apparently thinks they are not of Russian origin and that the Syrian Opposition managed to manufacture exact duplicates, smuggle them onto a Syrian base, fire them at their own positions, and get away without anyone knowing about it.
Have you explained to Mr. Lavrov that in all likelyhood, even seal team 6 would think that to be "mission impossible" to pull off succesfully....(not speaking for the team, but I'll bet you that they would most likely agree with my charactarization of the task)
I'm just waiting for the President's "Get real" speach at the UN...given that your doing a pretty good job setting the stage for it.
But what to do with the functionaly obtuse anyway? If the Russians can't "man up" about their contribution to crimes against humanity in selling the means, there's no way the American taxpayer should contribute a penny to help them disarm Assad of his chemical weapons, even if we were so inclined to otherwise.
Sounds to me like they absolutely refuse to take ownership of the reality they've helped create in Syria, nor the millions of people affected by the weapons Russia has supplied Assad's forces with.
While I think they recognize they have a problem (along with everyone else) while chem. weapons remain in Syria, and have leaned on Assad to obtain this agreement...
Untill they are brave enough to accept what is, and what will be if Russia doesn't disarm Assad of all his heavy weaponry and airforce, and publicy condemn Assad as unworthy to remain in Russia's "good graces" ....there's going to be guilt by association with mass murderers.
And that can't be in Russia's "national interest"...
Tell Mr. Lavrov for me please that if he wants to look like an idiot, or worse...to just keep it up. I think the old saying "that dog don't hunt" kind of sums up the worth of his nonsensical fantasmical wishful hypthisis that Assad is inocent of very grave war crimes.
I know Assad will need a good defense lawyer if he ever goes before the Hauge, but honestly I think he could do better than Mr. Lavrov.
Go Red Sox!

It's that time of the month again, dear readers–Mixology Monday! Our host this month is Charming Chuck Taggart, and he's chosen the theme amaro. Now, as you might recall, I've covered the topic of amari before. To sum up, though, amari are bitter, herbal liqueurs, consumed primarily over ice, either before or after dinner. Jen and I first encounted this class of spirit with Campari, probably, when we first tried the classic drink, the Negroni. We've since branched out and tried many other amari–Cynar, Aperol, Fernet Branca, Ramazzotti, I could go on. You can say we enjoy these drinks, both alone and mixed into cocktails.
Since we like amari so well, we try to seek out new ones when we can afford them. (Some weeks, we can barely afford wine or gin, let alone esoteric liqueurs.) We happened to be in the Italian section of Providence, Federal Hill, on Saturday, and stopped in at Gasbarro's Wines and Spirits. The boys at Gasbarro's had several amari we haven't yet tried, including Fernet Branca's minty sibling, Fernet Branca Menta.
I selected a slender and elegant bottle of Inga Amaro Mio. I haven't found a lot of information about this product, so I'll just share with you my impression. I'd say this is a pretty good gateway amaro. First, the price is right–Gasbarro's wanted $12.99 for a 375-ml bottle. Trust me, a little of this stuff lasts a long time, so a smaller bottle is a great place to start. Second, it's tasty. It's not as bitter as many amari, so it's not as challenging at first sip. It's still not freaking Mtn. Dew, but it's no Campari, either. Third, the bottle is gently curvy; it would make a sexy addition to your bar, and let's face it–we all want our home bars to look sophisticated.
One more thing before I get to the recipe. Now that we're entering into peak produce season, I'm challenging myself to really use our farmers' markets as a resource for making cocktails. And I want to go beyond the basics of berries, stone fruit, and tomatoes that you might automatically think of when you consider fresh produce in drinks. So this weekend, we stopped by the table of Farmacy Herbs. Mary, the herbalist, always has a collection of dried herbs and tinctures (which I want to eventually tinker with for bitters), but on this particular morning, she also had two fresh herbs–lemon balm and anise hyssop. For this drink, I wanted the delicate flavors of the lemon balm.
This cocktail is adapted from one version of the Blackthorn cocktail–in this case, gin, sloe gin, and vermouth. (There are at least two other drinks with this name, both of which are somewhat different formulations, but that's a topic for another post.) I kept the gin and the sloe, but ditched the vermouth. I dub this drink the Bitter Wood, to play off the Blackthorn name and to celebrate the pungency of the amaro.
Bitter Wood Cocktail
- 1 oz. Bluecoat gin
- 1 oz. Plymouth sloe gin
- 1/2 oz. Amaro Mio
- 1 sprig lemon balm, for muddling
- 1 leaf lemon balm, for garnish if desired
Technique: Measure liquid ingredients into mixing glass. Add lemon balm sprig. Muddle gently. (Lemon balm is in the mint family, and as with mint, if you over-muddle it, you'll release unpleasant compounds into your cocktail.) Add ice and stir. Strain into a cocktail glass and add garnish, if using.

President of the
Via facsimile: (237) 22 20 33 06
Following Thursday's death
of newspaper editor Germain S. Ngota Ngota, whose health
deteriorated while he was incarcerated in Kondengui Prison in the
capital, Yaoundé, the Committee to Protect Journalists calls on you to launch a
public, thorough, and transparent inquiry into the circumstances of his death.
We urge you to provide guarantees for the well-being of three other journalists
held in Cameroonian prisons and address ongoing abuses—including
allegations of state torture—against independent journalists who raise
questions about the administration's performance.
Ngota, editor of the private bimonthly Cameroon Express, died from "abandonment, improper care" and "failure to render assistance," according to a prison death certificate that his family shared with journalists. Ngota, known by his nickname Bibi, suffered from high blood pressure and a hernia. Daily Le Jour quoted Ngota's father as saying that his son's medical conditions were diagnosed by a prison doctor identified as Dr. Ndi.
Ngota was arrested on February 25, along with editors Harrys Robert Mintya of Le Devoir and Serge Sabouang of La Nation, in connection with a criminal complaint from top presidential aide Laurent Esso in response to their investigation of corruption allegations involving Esso and the state oil company, National Hydrocarbons Company (SNH). The journalists were transferred to Kondengui prison in March under terms of pre-trial detention—which can lasts up to six months and can be extended twice, lawyer Jean-Marie Nouga told CPJ.
Three weeks before his arrest by police, Ngota was picked up by agents of the Cameroon intelligence agency (DGRE) while being treated for high blood pressure at Biyem-Assi district hospital in Yaoundé, Ngota's father told Le Jour. He was held incommunicado without charge with Mintya, Sabouang and reporter Simon Hervé Nko'o of Bebela. The government has not publicly addressed Nko'o's claims that security agents used psychological and physical torture to force the journalists to reveal their source for a document on which the allegations were based. Nko'o has since fled into hiding.Your Excellency, we hold the government of
Accordingly, we exhort you to urgently take all the necessary steps to ensure that transparent investigations into Ngota's death and allegations of torture against Nko'o are conducted, and that the results be made public. We ask you to hold to account all officials involved in abuses against their critics in the press and we urge you to initiate media reforms, particularly the decriminalization of press offenses, so that the press is able to raise questions about the management of public finances and cover the news without fear of reprisals.
Thank for your attention to these very important matters. We look forward to your response.

Mom of Fort Hood shooting victim says family always wanted to see 'who he was going to become'
FORT HOOD, Texas – The mother of a soldier killed during the Fort Hood shooting rampage says she'd always looked forward to seeing who her son would become.
Cheryll Pearson sobbed as she testified Tuesday during the trial of Maj. Nidal Hasan, who was convicted last week of killing 13 people at the Texas military base. Prosecutors are now trying to convince jurors to sentence Hasan to death.
Pearson began crying when shown a photo of she and her son, Pfc. Michael Pearson, hugging at his graduation.
Pearson says her family, "always wanted to see who he was going to become," but that the shooting took that away from them. Pearson says she learned after her son was killed that he'd planned to marry his high school sweetheart.

ketchup, or how to manage your kernel sources more efficiently
July 15, 2011
A couple of months ago I found out about ketchup (credits to Daniel Drake, and his blog).
ketchup is an awesome utility/script, written by Matt Mackall in Python, which makes it very easy to manage kernel sources. You can very easily upgrade to a newer kernel version, downgrade to older releases, and even switch between different patchsets. The ketchup ebuild I found in Portage (and in every Linux distro I know about) was fetching the original and out-of-date version of ketchup. Steven Rostedt had pulled the original ketchup code (v0.9) into his git repo @ kernel.org. However, there were no commits/updates to ketchup for 1-2 years, I think.
So, I decided to cleanup some of the old trees that ketchup supported, but were no longer maintained, and add support for new trees (or some updated 'versions' of the old trees). I sent the patches to Steven Rostedt, and he proposed that I take over and maintain ketchup. 🙂
I cloned the ketchup git repo to Github, applied the patches I'd written, plus quite a lot of patches that the Debian ketchup package provided.
Now, with the Linux-3.0 release approaching, I tried to add (at least) partial support for the new 2 digit version numbers, but there are still some issues, which will hopefully get resolved once Linux-3.0 gets released, and the new versioning scheme gets standarized (for example the EXTRAVERSION Makefile variable will probably not get removed from 3.0, as it breaks some userspace utils, like uptime etc from procps utils, some depmod issues etc).
The new code for 3.x kernels is currently in the linux-3 branch, from which I took a snapshot and pushed it to Portage as dev-util/ketchup-1.1_beta. I will hopefully merge it back with master, after the first -stable release comes out (Linux-3.0.1), just to make sure that everything works.
Feel free to give it a try, and report any bugs/issues.

"You can very easily upgrade to a newer kernel version, downgrade to older releases, and even switch between different patchsets".
sounds like this will do the job as well:
ln -s /usr/bin/git /usr/bin/ketchup
March 22, 2013 at 20:07
You forgot mv /usr/bin/ketchup /usr/bin/git. I hope you're not saying git pull is faster on your connection than downloading a patch.

yay, nice! is there n y manpage ? or how to use it?

Hey, thanks so much for bringing ketchup up-to-date. I'm still a faithful user.
But my python 2.7.2 choked on t += '.0' on line 659, '+=' not being defined for types int and str (which makes sense).
t = "%d.0" % t
does the trick for me.

Rapid City Carjacking Suspect Hurt in Police Chase
RAPID CITY, S.D. (AP) - A carjacking in Rapid City ended when the suspect rolled the vehicle following a chase with police.
Police say the male suspect stole a car from a man in a parking lot at gunpoint Monday afternoon, and later rolled it on Interstate 90 after authorities who gave chase used road spikes to flatten the tires.
The suspect was taken to a Sturgis hospital with what police said were non-life threatening injuries. He was not immediately identified.

Virtual-reality firm Oculus is making a move into original film content.
The manufacturer of the much-anticipated Rift headset is expected to announce at the Sundance Film Festival on Monday that it is launching a new unit called Story Studio and has hired Pixar veteran Saschka Unseld to run it.
Working with a team of about 10 staffers and contractors, Unseld will develop and produce an unspecified number of animated shorts in the VR format. VR essentially allows a viewer wearing a headset to inhabit a film's entire world, instead of the more traditional method of simply watching a rectangular display.
The move is a small but notable step in the bid to bring the...

When Syco Collectibles showed off their line of Mortal Kombat statues the other day, sadly one of the main attractions, a Raiden piece, wasn't done. He is now!
These shots show you can...take his hat off. And that he's mean. What they don't show is that this 10" piece, made of polystone resin, will be out in Q4 this year and will sell for $165.
You can check out pics of Syco's other Mortal Kombat statues here.

Words by Ms Hermione Hoby
It's a cold Saturday morning in New York, and a surprisingly warm and vivacious Ms Joan Smalls is single-handedly managing to expel any notions of supermodel hauteur by being not only the most wide-awake person in the room, but also the funniest. Within minutes of arriving, her re-enactment of a recent Victoria's Secret show tips the crew into hysterics.
She and her agent Mr Kyle Hagler are, she explains, "heading towards our two-year working anniversary" this month, and although their relationship is clearly based on a lot of mutual teasing they're also great admirers of each other's style. "Every time I go into the office and see him I get inspiration," says Ms Smalls. "He has this innate confidence, which speaks volumes: when a man doesn't feel comfortable in what he's wearing a woman can pick up on that - you always know."
Despite Ms Smalls' own infectious confidence, she's reluctant to divulge her pet hates when it comes to men's style. After some gentle persuasion, she'll concede that sagging jeans aren't for her. "When your butt is hanging out, I don't think that looks sexy at all. I mean, whatever floats your boat," she smiles, "but it doesn't float mine."
And how do Puerto Rican men compare to Brits in the style stakes? "Let's just say I think they need some help in that department," she laughs. "Hopefully they'll see this and get some ideas."

Finance is Australia's biggest industry, and its banks are some of the most profitable in the world. Australia's "Big Four" – Commonwealth Bank (CBA), ANZ, National Australia Bank (NAB) and Westpac – collectively hold about 80% of the country's banking market. Despite its strong position, Australia's banking and financial services sector has been rocked by a series of scandals over the last decade, with all "Big Four" largest banks being accused of serious misconduct. As a result, a royal commission, Australia's highest form of public inquiry, has been called to… Read more

Elite: Dangerous announced as sequel to 1980's space trader
Legendary designer David Braben has turned to Kickstarter to fund a new entry in the Elite series.
One of the first high-profile projects to launch since Kickstarter opened its doors to UK-based campaigns, Elite: Dangerous is hoping to source £1,250,000.
Frontier Developments aims to developer Elite: Dangerous as the natural successor to previous entires in the series, as well as related title Frontier – as a 3D, multiplayer, procedurally-generated, open-world space trading simulation like its progenitors, but taking advantage of modern technology and advances like "sumptuous graphics".
Players will begin with a small craft and modest initial resources, then set out to "trade, pirate, bounty-hunt, explore, and salvage your way to wealth and fame" in competition or co-operation with others. You'll be able to choose who can enter your game world, but Braben hopes to avoid lobbies and says the technolgoy to support this vision is already in place.
Writing on the campaign page, Braben said Elite: Dangerous is the game he's wanted to make for a long time, and that the studio has had "a couple of false starts" while it prioritised other commitments.
"Up to now Elite has been worked upon by a small team as a 'skunk-works' activity in the background as availability permits. Nevertheless, we have been preparing; laying the technology and design foundations for when the time is right. And that time is now," he said.
Elite: Dangerous is expected on PC in March 2014. A pitch video has not been made available.
Thanks, Gamasutra.

CFA with ordinal data

Confirmatory Factor Analysis
Thomas Carpenter
posted on Friday, November 30, 2012 - 9:31 am
Hi there,
I am trying to replicate an analysis done in LISREL. Because I have ordinal indicators (7-point likert), I used polychoric correlations and an asymptotic covariance matrix in lisrel with diagonally weighted least squares. I am trying to do the same analyses in MPlus.
To do this, I used (1) categorical are... to make the indicators categorical. I also (2) used the WLSMV estimator. However, fit is much worse using this method than the lisrel procedure above. I found that ULSMV gave me a better approximation to the lisrel results, but still they are giving me a different pattern of results. Any idea how to use (1) polychoric, (2) asymptotic covariance matrix, and (3) diagonally weighted least squares in mplus?
Note: I am open to other procedures than the above, but at the very least I would like to be able to replicate the first analysis.

You are doing this correctly in Mplus. We know that the weight matrices differ between Mplus and LISREL. It seems odd the LISREL results are closer to unweighted least squares.
How large is your sample? Does it have a threshold structure or only correlations. Is it a single or multiple group analysis?
Thomas Carpenter
posted on Monday, December 03, 2012 - 7:42 am
Thanks Linda for the quick reply.
The same size is small, n = 146, so I was treating the data with caution anyway. However, I had expected the two software packages to converge at least a little more. It is a single-group analysis. I am analyzing raw data, not correlations.
Could it be the small sample size?
The fit good to fair in LISREL, but poor in MPlus. Note that we did the analyses in R and got results similar to MPlus's WLS results.
Bengt O. Muthen
posted on Monday, December 03, 2012 - 8:35 pm
It could be due to the small sample size. Our simulations show that the chi-square performance is reasonable down to about n=200. I haven't seen LISREL simulations on this.

The legendary Remington Model 700 Rifle is the most accurate and technologically advanced line of factory-built rifles for sale in the world. These rifles from Remington Firearms are the standard by which all other rifles are measured, and continually fall short.
When the Remington Model 700 rifle was introduced for sale in 1962, it was way ahead of its time and was the first major advancement in bolt action rifles since the 1890's. It was a long-awaited answer to the desires and demands of the hunting and shooting public - a supremely accurate rifle with sleek lines that was built to handle the higher pressures of the latest cartridge innovations.
The Model 700 rifle was touted as "the finest rifle Remington has ever made", and in a half century it has established itself as the most accurate, most popular production rifle in firearms history. While many other claims have been made about accuracy in hunting rifles, generations of hunters and shooters agree that no other production rifle for sale shoots tighter groups with so many bullets and loadings, right out of the box.
The Model 700 rifle continues to be ahead of its time and more powerful today, with superior out-of-the-box accuracy and rock-solid dependability. Throughout the years, Remington has continually innovated and made improvements to the Model 700, with enhancements such as the X-Mark Pro Adjustable Trigger and TriNyte Corrosion Control Center, as well as hot new calibers, barrel contours, and stock designs.
For all of these reasons and more, Remington Model 700 rifles are the number one bolt-action rifle platform of choice for military and law-enforcement sniper units and custom gunmakers worldwide. These rifles have also won more NRA Hunting Rifle championships than any other firearm, and have take big game on every continent in the world.
The Model 700 rifle is engineered with a cylindrical receiver, instead of the traditional flat-bottom type, and is machined from solid steel bar stock. This design feature provides enhanced rigidity and strength while forming a more consistent bedding area for the action in the rifle's stock.
The Remington Model 700 rifle's trigger assembly is exceptionally crisp, and has been the best in the firearms industry since its creation. With the introduction of Remington's X-Mark Pro Trigger system and dramatic increases in Remington's precision manufacturing processes, the Model 700 trigger assembly gets better every year. These rifles from Remington also have the best-in-the-industry ultra-fast lock time of 2.5-3.0 milliseconds, to greatly minimize the effects of shooter movement for improved on-game and on-target results.
With the strongest, most unique action in the rifle industry, the Remington Model 700 rifle supports your cartridge to create a tighter, more precise fit in the chamber and more exact alignment with the bore.
Since Remington first introduced Model 700 rifles for sale, they have been a standout at the range, in the field, and on the rack. Remington's superior design elements come together with unmatched precision from Remington's manufacturing facility to your hands, where the next great chapter is written.
Because of its strong, smooth action, consistent accuracy, and classic beauty, the Remington Model 700 BDL rifle has been the hunter's favorite for 40 years. These Remington rifles for sale provide unequaled quality and value. The rifle has a high-gloss American walnut stock which is enhanced by a distinctive fore-end cap, Monte Carlo comb with raised cheekpiece, and generous skipline cut checkering.
Remington's metalwork on the Model 700 BDL rifle has rich, deep bluing for beauty and protection, and features a hinged magaaine floorplate, sling swivel studs, hooded ramp front sight, and adjustable rear sight.
Other features of the Remington Model 700 BDL rifle include a receiver machined from solid-steel bar stock, a cylindrical receiver design, recessed bolt face, an integral extractor, and the Remington X-Mark Pro Trigger System.
Remington Model 700 CDL rifles are offered for sale in Remington's three best-selling chamberings, including the 270 Win, 30-06 Springfield, and 7mm Remington magnum. With a wide range of chamberings, the Model 700 CDL rifle is extremely popular.
The Remington Model 700 XCR (Xtreme Conditions Rifle) has no limits, so you can discover yours. These Remington rifles for sale are elite guns made for extreme conditions, and are ready for any task you are.
The Model 700 XCR is simply the most durable hunting rifle ever built, and thanks to features like Remington's proprietary TriNyte Corrosion Control System, it is virtually impervious to the most extreme conditions on earth. Remington's TriNyte system uses a combination of ultra-potent corrosion-inhibiting materials and an innovative application process to provide firearm protection far beyond the previous limits. The result is dramatically superior scracth and corrosion resistance than any other rifle for sale on the market today.
With revolutionary technology and feature-laden synthetic stock, Remington Model 700 XCR rifles are optimized for sure handling in adverse climates. And shots from these rifles are infinitely more comfortable with Remington's Supercell recoil pad.
For more information on the full line of Remington Model 700 rifles for sale, please see the Remington Firearms site.
