i need a recommendation...
for a disc type rear wheel? budget around $1400
Zipp Super9.
close, only about a grand over budget, but thanks for the reply JMR
FFWD Disc-T. $1449, widely used in nat'l-level competition.
http://www.ffwdusa.com/DISC_T-details.aspx |
now we're talkin', thanks guys.
ooh, sweet! thanks!
USA Shrinkboy? Consider trawling sites such as the Slowtwitch tri forum classified for a secondhand Zipp 900? Or keep an eye on specials for the same wheel new - I picked up a Zipp 900 new locally for $1,200 by keeping my eyes peeled.
Yeah, end of triathlon season seems to be the time to buy disc's and deep carbon wheels!
Most of them have done 40k's and that's it! :) JMR |
Check your local craigslist.
There's a super 9 over here that has been listed for $1300 forever |
http://www.wheelbuilder.com/zipp-dis...rsion-kit.html Some others brands are similar, but some do not convert... so check before buying! :) JMR |
i have had a few disc: * older zipp 950 with road and track axle * ProLite with road and track axle * FFWD with dedicated track axle all of the disc i have had were good, and performed similarly. i never really had big issues with the convertible hubs- but they can be a little finicky. learning to use the allen bolt/cone bolt end on the Zipp took a little work- i got it to work, and it would be a non-issue if you had built-in tensioners in your frame... but they are not hugely confidence inspiring.. especially on kilo starts for us Big Boys.. and they take some modifying to fit some dropouts the Pro-Lite had track nuts on the track conversion- but it had an overly complicated and under engineered conversion axle. i found myself flipping spacers and trying to modify it to spin well.. did my best kilo on that disc- but wasting thoughts on whether the axle is put together correctly is a waste.. (the ProLite used the Novatec convertible hub like on this: http://www.alibaba.com/product-gs/12...road_disc.html) the FFWD works just like any other track wheel- with no issues tightening the bolts or slipping on starts.. it has worked like it is supposed to every time. that goes a long way with me. |
I previously had a 900 disc with a more normal style axle with track nuts and did have that move occasionally. JMR |
i thought i made it pretty clear that they do work- for me and a huge number of track riders (based on how many conversion hub disc are at say Masters Nats here in the US..) i just don't like the conversion hub or the allen bolts. strictly personal opinion.. |
thanks to all of you; i have since moved on the acquisition of the FFWD wheel, and expect it to arrive within the week
All times are GMT -6. The time now is 05:51 AM. |

Mets bring Nickeas back on Minor League deal
By Anthony DiComo / MLB.com
Nickeas, 29, will report to big league camp in February, giving the Mets a measure of catching flexibility as they continue to seek a more offensive-minded complement for starter Josh Thole.
Breaking camp with the Mets last spring, Nickeas struggled at the plate, hitting .174 with one home run and 13 RBIs in 47 games. The Mets eventually demoted him to Triple-A Buffalo, where he hit .364 with one homer and six RBIs in 22 games.
The Mets do value Nickeas' receiving and game-calling abilities, as well as his history with starting pitcher Matt Harvey -- the two trained together in the Atlanta area last offseason. And if the Mets retain knuckleballer R.A. Dickey, Nickeas is yet another backstop capable of catching him.
But the club is also in desperate need of offense behind the plate. With Thole likely to return after negotiating a new deal through arbitration, the Mets would like to find a right-handed-hitting catcher to pair with him, perhaps in a platoon situation.
Thole, a lefty, hit just .211 against left-handed pitchers last season, with a .259 on-base percentage.

Thread: help me with Knife selection!
5/10/2010 11:01pm, #1--
help me with Knife selection!
I am giving away my knife to my girlfriend, who has a summer job in D.C. I am commuting to work on a bicycle and definitely do not want to be without a knife. Do you guys have any tips? No guns. Long story. Here is the situation:
A. CWP would solve all my problems; fixblades, etc all legal as long as it is concealed. However, its expensive and I am not going to spend money just so I can carry a different knife.
Florida knife law in a nutshell is (BTW I'm not a lawyer!):
1. plastic knives are okay
2. common pocketknives are okay
2.5. common pocketknife definition is not elaborated.
(It sounds like depending on WHO you are or WHAT you look like, cops and jury will basically interpret that however they want.)
This is the kind of knife I would need
1. It needs to be slim so I will barely notice it while wearing it
2. It needs to be very concealable; IWB when I need to (like when I'm at work, so no one can even see the clip), while wearing a thin summer suit.
3. A well cutting blade, karambit type good, tanto type bad.
4. Must deploy quickly with one hand. Preferably a assisted opening or emerson-type mechanism
5. Not too expensive
6. A knife that looks very civilian, very non-combat like is plus. Even though "tactical" knives are designed more as tools than weapons.
Currently I carry a Spyderco Endura with the wave feature. 2.75" blade with very thin profile. I loved it and I would have it everywhere because it would not bulk up my pocket. I am looking for something that thin. This is the knife being given to my GF.
I thought about some non-metallic "plastic" knives but most of them are fixblades that are too big. One option on my mind right now is the Hissatsu Folder from CRKT, but it sounds like the grip area is too bulky for my needs. Emerson La Griffe would be perfect but I am not sure a fixblade qualifies as "common pocket knife."
Any thoughts? BTW here are the pictures of the knives I've mentioned
Help please! MTripp?

--That's the Spyderco Delica, not the Endura. The Endura is just shy of 4 inches. ;)
Why not get another Delica? They are great knives and the price is not too tough on the wallet.
5/11/2010 1:15am, #3--
My bad. I came back on this thread because I realized it was a Delica. I actually used to have an Endura that I ended up giving away as a gift.
I thought about getting another Delica; to be honest I used to jump from knife to knife until I got the Delica as a gift. I think I would like something with a bit more "power," like an emerson Karambit folder but that particular knife looks too "nasty," which under the eyes of Florida law is all that matters.
anyone own the hissatsu folder? How thick is that grip?
5/11/2010 7:30am, #4--
I own and carry the Hissatsu folder. Honestly I am a big fan. AUS 8 Steel can be sharpened to a razor's edge. The handle is nice and full sized, very easy to keep a hold of. The blade is double locked so its very sturdy when opened. The Assisted Opening is a torsion bar that activates at 30 degrees, not a spring or button, so it legal is most places and the blade < 4".
My 2 downsides. The assisted opening torsion bar takes a little getting used to. You push the thumb knub forward rather than out.
Also, you have to keep this knife oiled and clean more than some of the other pocket knives out there. I actually had a time when I got lazy on the maintenance and the knife would no longer open. Every month or so I have to use a Q-tip to clean out the dust, then take a second Q-tip with TUF-Glide on it.
Also to be clear, for the OP's g/f, here in DC the knife legal length is 3" so if she going to carry a pocket knife here make sure its legal length. I don't carry the Hissatsu Folder when I go to the city because its over the legal length (I know you are giving here a pocket knife under 3" so she should be ok). If she is just coming to the DC metro area, ie Northern Virginia or Southern Maryland she is ok with a bigger knife. Maryland is < 4" and Virginia has no legal size limit.
Edit: Looks like Hissatsu is coming up with something in the 3" range. But its still in preorder. http://www.knifecenter.com/kc_new/st....html?s=CR2900Last edited by plasma; 5/11/2010 7:41am at .

I'd like to jump on this bandwagon. I have been carrying a Spyderco Dragonfly for the past several years and I love it, but it is just a wee bit too small. It has a plastic handle which has been very durable, but I would like something with a bit more weight behind it so that I can better keep track of it.
I don't need a much bigger blade, no more than 3" for sure, but an extra 1/2" or so on the handle definitely wouldn't hurt. (Dragonfly is 3 7/32" handle, 2 5/16" blade and aus-8)
Spyderco's website sucks balls if you're trying to just browse, anyone have suggestions?HTFU and join Bullshido on Fitocracy!

That looks too much like something used to gut things, I really want more of a nondescript everyday carry. The Delica looks about the size, anyone have experience with one of these?

Owned one for a few years. Excellent knife. Strongly recommended.
It is very well made, easy to handle, doesn't look too "tactical", doesn't freak the boss out if he sees me using it to cut up a piece of plastic or breaking down a box. I've given it a few good workouts, the steel holds its edge phenomenally well. You can get a trainer for it as well.
5/11/2010 10:45am, #9--
If I ever feel like spending money on something (essentially) superfluous Sog's Blink is going to be my next pocketknife. I don't care about the assisted opening, but I like the fact it's very small (2.25" blade is legal just about anyplace that has a limit and more importantly it's clearly under 3" because cops don't carry rulers with them and just guesstimate across the palm of their hand) yet with a decent-sized handle to grip it by (I really hate feeling like I'm gripping some shitty keychain knife) + sog's clip design that makes the entire knife sit in your pocket, just about invisible.

Incredibly thin and light, hopefully it's still sturdy!
I carry a Spyderco Tenacious since I lost my 10+ year old Delica somehow and it's a decent buy (basically a $60 knife for $30), but a little too big for t-shirt weather. Good for colder weather when you have a coat pocket to slip it into though.Last edited by maofas; 5/11/2010 10:54am at .

Hmmmm.. I like the dragonfly, and I wish the tenacious came in wave. Or maybe I can just put on a zip-tie to turn it into one..
The Delica is amazingly useful. The VG-10 holds edge very well. My grip is blue, I like how non-threatening it looks. BTW, do get the one with Emerson-wave feature. It deploys like a fixed-blade once you get used to it.

The New York Times spends 36 hours in Milwaukee, see what they uncover.
Milwaukee is a city that evolves slowly. Its roots as a blue-collar town — as the German Athens, as Brew City — are still evident in the names of local landmarks (Pabst Theater, Pfister Hotel, Miller Park, where the Milwaukee Brewers play); the neatly demarcated enclaves that still retain strong traces of their ethnic origins; the countless cozy neighborhood taps; and the locals' love of sausage, cheese and beer, not to mention the array of festivals (German Fest, Irish Fest, Polish Fest) that overtake the lakefront every summer. Yet this city — Wisconsin's largest, population 600,000 — is hardly a backward-looking place. Following a few decades of diminishing population, numbers have risen slightly in the years since the 2010 census, much of the increase due to young people moving into a few revived downtown neighborhoods like Walker's Point and the southerly, suddenly hip Bay View, with its bars and galleries. The result is a city that possesses a renewed vitality while still holding on to an Old World character.
4 p.m.
1. Cheese Factory
Improbably, the Clock Shadow Creamery, which opened in the fashionable Walker's Point neighborhood in 2012, is Milwaukee's one downtown cheese factory. A small outfit in a corner space in a green building, it produces a variety of products — from ricotta to the local favorite, cheese curds — and offers half-hour factory tours for $3 (reservations required). Keeping company in the same space is the equally new Purple Door Ice Cream, which uses only local and natural ingredients and serves up beguiling flavors like absinthe made by the Great Lakes Distillery nearby, and fig and black tea. A single-scoop cone costs $3.50. Purple Door will move into its own space a couple of blocks away in 2014.
7 p.m.
2. Third-Coast Cuisine
Nearby, the airy new restaurant Blue Jacket epitomizes "Third Coast" pride. The seasonal dishes are locally sourced, while the beverage menu, using regional beers and spirits, was created by Bittercube, a Milwaukee-based bitters producer. Whitefish, served with brussels sprouts and guanciale ($16), comes from Lake Superior, and smelt, a Great Lakes staple, are put to good use as kettle-chip batter-fried snacks ($9). They go nicely with the Lake Bluff Gimlet ($9), laced with lavender syrup and bitters made with hops harvested in Door County upstate.
9 p.m.
3. Old-Time Cocktails
After-dinner cocktails await in the historic Mitchell Street neighborhood at Bryant's Cocktail Lounge, a dim, lushly upholstered time capsule of a bar inside a nondescript two-story house. On a recent evening the soundtrack was Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin playing over a vintage McIntosh stereo system. Sit in the barely discernible back room banquettes if you want to be invisible; the alternative is the long bar, crowded with young couples calling out for chocolate grasshoppers, pink squirrels and other ice cream drinks, along with brandy old fashioneds, Wisconsin's unofficial state tipple. In December, ask for the Christmas punch. Drinks are $7 to $12.
10 a.m.
4. Art Inside Art
The Milwaukee Art Museum ($17 adults) houses a fine collection — including works by Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, Richard Diebenkorn and Joan Miró — but, somewhat like the Guggenheim, the building itself is the institution's most noteworthy attraction. The Quadracci Pavilion, designed by Santiago Calatrava, looks as if it is about to soar over Lake Michigan. Café Calatrava inside offers lovely views and an ever-changing menu, often reflective of exhibitions. Recent entrees included house-made pappardelle with wild boar ragù and an ale-braised venison osso bucco. Expect to pay $20 to $30 for lunch. Current shows include an exhibition of the undersung 19th-century American painter Thomas Sully.
12 p.m.
5. Beer Town's Boswell
For decades, Harry W. Schwartz's was Milwaukee's great hometown bookstore. When it closed in 2009, the Downer Avenue location was taken over by its book buyer and rechristened Boswell Book Company. The sprawling shop has long hours, a huge Wisconsin section, many author readings and a smart, attentive staff. Down the street, be sure to take a gander at the vintage Downer Theater movie house, in operation nearly a century.

The worst flooding Thailand has seen in 50 years appears to be coming down from its high-water mark, largely sparing central Bangkok while continuing to inundate surrounding suburbs and farms. Heavy monsoon rains have submerged nearly a third of the country's provinces since July, killing more than 370 people. Over the weekend, high tides and heavy flooding threatened central Bangkok, but defenses appear to have held. However, some residents in surrounding areas have expressed anger at being placed on the outside of these protective barriers and having floodwater diverted toward them. Areas west of Bangkok are still expected to be hard hit in the coming days as the last of the flooding makes its way to the sea. Gathered here are images from Thailand as the waters start to recede and the task of recovery begins.

Dinosaur (Japanese:
Dinosaur-Type monsters are rivaled by few (including extremely powerful Nomi monsters, high-Level Fusion Monsters, or Dragons) in terms of overwhelming brute force. They possess the first (and for a long time only and still the only non-"Kaiju") monster that completely breaks the rule of 3000 ATK, "Super Conductor Tyranno"; their Field Spell Card "Jurassic World" grants a higher ATK and DEF bonus than any other for specific Monster Types; and they have a powerful searcher, "Fossil Dig", a Spell Card that can add any Level 6 or lower Dinosaur-Type monster from the Deck to the hand. They also possess an Elemental Lord monster, "Pyrorex the Elemental Lord". In addition, Dinosaurs can search monsters through "Miracle Jurassic Egg", which builds up counters to be Tributed for a big Dinosaur-Type monster, or "Babycerasaurus", which combos well with "Torrential Tribute" or "Dark Hole". Unlike other Monster Types in which high-Level monsters risk being useless in the hand, Dinosaur-Type monsters have numerous options for getting around Tribute requirements that make high-Level monsters the bread and butter of the Deck. Dinosaurs and Dinosaur support also have a few powerful field clearing cards, most notably "Jurrac Meteor", "Volcanic Eruption", and "Jurrac Impact".
Jurrac, the first Dinosaur archetype, was released in Duel Terminal - Demon Roar God Revival!!, Duel Terminal - Champion of Chaos!!, Duel Terminal - Dragunity of the Hurricane!!, and Duel Terminal - Charge of the Genex!! in the OCG, while the TCG received them in in Hidden Arsenal 2, 3, and 4. Jurracs focus on battle and low-Level Special Summons, and encompass all Dinosaur-Type Tuners and Synchro Monsters.
Evol is a new multi-Type archetype that contains the Dinosaur-Type "Evolsaur" monsters. The Reptile-Type "Evoltile" monsters Special Summon ('evolve into') "Evolsaur" monsters, triggering the Evolsaur effects. For example, if an "Evoltile" monster 'evolves' into "Evolsaur Diplo", it can destroy an opponent's Spell/Trap Card. The Dinosaur-Type "Evolsaur" monsters are primarily used as Xyz Materials for the Xyz Summon of Dragon-Type "Evolzar" monsters. For example, "Evolzar Laggia" requires 2 Level 4 Dinosaurs, and it can detach both its Xyz Materials to negate and destroy a Spell, Trap, Normal Summon, or Special Summon.
One unique Dinosaur-Type monster, "Tyranno Infinity", gains a massive 1000 ATK boost for each banished Dinosaur-Type monster, making Dinosaur-Type monsters viable even with the debilitating effects of "Macro Cosmos" and related cards. "Tyranno Infinity" also works extremely well with "Survival Instinct"; the two can end games in one blow if used at the right time. "Babycerasaurus" can be combined with "Skull Lair" to simultaneously recruit and power up "Tyranno Infinity".
In the Falsebound Kingdom, Dinosaur-Type monsters are treated as Dragon-Type monsters.
Playing style
Dinosaur-Type monsters have very little support that is useful at a competitive level, but the support of Evolzar Xyz Monsters (using "Rescue Rabbit" to make them) has helped make Dinosaurs more viable.
"Rescue Rabbit" can Summon two Level 4 Normal Dinosaurs from the Deck to Xyz Summon either "Evolzar Laggia", which can negate the Summon of a monster or the activation of a Spell/Trap Card, or "Evolzar Dolkka", which can negate the activation of monster effects.
"Tour Guide from the Underworld" can also be used to make either "Leviair the Sea Dragon", "Number 17: Leviathan Dragon", "Wind-Up Zenmaines" or "Number 20: Giga-Brilliant".
- There are no Dinosaur-Type Ritual Monsters.

Only a month ago Katy Perry was published in Vogue talking about how over her relationship with John Mayer was, but this seems to be a situation of "you're hot and you're cold." The pop star posted a picture of herself with her former flame to Instagram showing them embracing and seemingly implying that they're an item once again.
"Whose broad stripes & bright stars?!" Perry captions the photo as she and a man who is being reported to be Mayer hold one another.
Just Jared reports that the duo, who were wearing matching patriotic outfits, were in Philadelphia at a concert. The image was taken backstage. Neither Perry nor Mayer have confirmed that they're together again.
"I was madly in love with him. I am still madly in love with him," Perry said of Mayer in the Vogue interview. "All I can say about that relationship is that he's got a beautiful mind. Beautiful mind, tortured soul. I do have to figure out why I am attracted to these broken birds."
Still, she added, "I'm not in a relationship. I'm just on my own. I have to be happy being alone, and I am happy." Maybe her kind words about Mayer were enough to get the two of them back together.

Problem of Apollonius
From Math Images
{{Image Description Ready |ImageName=Apollonian Gasket |Image=Apollonian.jpg |ImageIntro=This an example of a fractal that can be created by repeatedly solving the Problem of Apollonius.
Apollonius of Perga posed and solved this problem in his work called Tangencies. Sadly, Tangencies has been lost, and only a report of his work by Pappus of Alexandria is left. Since then, other mathematicians, such as Isaac Newton and Descartes, have been able to recreate his results and discover new ways of solving this interesting problem.
Given three points, the problem only has one solution. In the cases of one line and two points; two lines and one point; and one circle and two points, the problem has two solutions. Four solutions exist for the cases of three lines; one circle, one line, and one point; and two circles and one point. There are eight solutions for the cases of two circles and one line; and one circle and two lines, in addition to the three circle problem.

SureShell shotshell carriers are available in three configurations: four-shell, six-shell and eight-shell. The six-shell and eight-shell configurations can be installed on the left side of the receiver, while the four-shell carriers can be installed on either side of the receiver. Carriers can also be installed pointed back toward the stock.
The principle difference between one model of SureShell and another, aside from capacity, is the backing plate, which is designed to mount the carrier assembly on a particular model of shotgun. Side-mount SureShell shotshell carriers for Mossberg , Remington and Benelli M1 shotguns use the trigger group pin holes to secure the assemblies to the weapon; the Benelli M2 Tactical, Benelli M4/M1014, Benelli SuperNova Tactical and some Mossberg 500/590 versions take advantage of the factory-tapped rail mounting holes in the tops of these shotguns and include integrated Pictanny optics mounting rails; another version with an integrated rail is the saddle-mount design for Remington; SureShell Carriers for M4 SOPMOD stocks feature special hardware for attachment to these buttstocks; Adapter Mount SureShell shotshell carriers are designed to be attached to Mesa Tactical Telescoping Stock Adapter accessory mount points.
The following is a breakdown of the various components that make up the SureShell Aluminum Carrier system.
SureShell shotshell carriers are assemblies comprising an aluminum yoke and backing plate and a Santoprene® elastomer tube. The yoke features four to eight vertical bores .700" or .810" in diameter to accept 20-gauge or 12-gauge shotgun shells. The shells are securely retained by the elastomer tube interfering with the bores. In many cases, shells can be confidently retained in a brass down as well as a brass up configuration, though brass up is most secure.
The elastomer used to interfere with the shell bores and thus retain the shells in the SureShell shotshell carrier is made of tough Santoprene thermoplastic. We are required to publish the following message to comply with California's Proposition 65:
WARNING: This product contains a chemical known to the State of California to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm.
SureShell carriers are assembled at the factory with a black Santoprene elastomer tibe with a shore value, or stiffness, of A64. This has proven to be optimal for most customers and in most situations. However, some customers require a stiffer elastomer and for those operators we have included an alternative white elastomer tube with a shore value of A73. The black elastomer tube can be swapped for the white one if tighter shell retention is required.
The front trigger pin is replaced by custom Chicago screws instead of a standoff with 12 gauge Remington shotguns.
Several platforms use custom fasteners called Chicago screws. These are paired male and female fasteners that, when screwed together, meet at their respective shoulders for a precise fit on whatever platform they are made for (each shotgun platform will use different length Chicago screws). Ideally, when they are tightened against each other, they also secure the shell carrier without pinching the receiver. Two hex keys are provided for each screw size. Sometimes it is necessary to screw the fasteners in from both sides simultaneously.
*It is important to realize that once the Chicago screws are tightened against each other, they aren't going to get any tighter, and applying too much torque will snap them at the center. It is useful to practice tightening them outside the shotgun before installation, to get a hang for how tight they can get, and also to clean the threads of any dirt or debris.
The adhesive-backed rubber gasket material (not included with Saddle Rails or Saddle Mount SureShell assemblies) can optionally be used to keep the backplate screw heads away from the surface finish of your weapon.
Factory shotgun forends, except "tactical" forends, often feature significantreceiver overlap when the bolt is pulled back. These forends will need to be cut down or replaced with aftermarket "tactical" forends to be used with some SureShell shotshell carriers. Before you install a SureShell shotshell carrier, measure your forend's receiver overlap and compare it to the furthest forward point of the shotshell carrier. Then cut any potential overlap or interference off the end of theforend with a miter saw or a rotary arm saw for a perfect fit.
The SureShell Aluminum Shotshell Carrier is available for the following 12 gauge shotgun platforms:
The mounting system for the SureShell carrier for the FN Self-loading Police shotgun is similar to that of the Mossberg 930, with two sets of Chicago screws in place of the two trigger pins.
SureShell aluminum shotshell carriers for the FN SLP fit on the left side of the receiver only, and will not interfere with the forend.

Vaccines work to save and improve lives, which is why the global health community has united around the Decade of Vaccines, a vision and commitment to reach all people with the vaccines they need. To achieve that goal, health ministers gathered last May to endorse the Global Vaccine Action Plan, a roadmap for saving more than 20 million lives by 2020.
As we approach 2013, we're well on our way.
Thanks to the GAVI Alliance, UNICEF, WHO, health experts, dedicated vaccinators and many others, vaccines are reaching more children, in more places, than ever before.
GAVI has reached almost 300 million children with vaccines and prevented more than 5.5 million deaths. And, in the past two years, in more than 20 developing countries, it has delivered millions of doses of two new vaccines to protect children from pneumonia and diarrhea, the two leading infectious causes of death for children under five.
Thanks to the Global Polio Eradication Initiative and dedicated workers in affected countries, we are closer than ever to eradicating polio, an early milestone in the Decade of Vaccines. Cases are at record lows, and with enough funding and political will we can end polio forever. The fight to end polio also can help to build routine immunization systems that will enable future generations to live healthy, productive lives free from vaccine-preventable diseases.
Now is the time to build on this momentum. That's why we're co-hosting a vaccine summit in Abu Dhabi in April. The summit will take place, appropriately enough, during World Immunization Week.
We view this summit as a powerful endorsement of the role that vaccines and immunization play in achieving global child health and development goals. One of the most incredible examples of the power vaccines have to change the world is how close we are to being able to declare the world polio-free. This year, the polio effort celebrated a major advancement in defeating this preventable disease when India was declared polio-free, outbreaks in previously polio-free countries were stopped and the number of polio cases in the world dropped dramatically from where it had been for almost 10 years, leaving us with the fewest number of cases in the fewest districts in the fewest countries. This success means that it is more important than ever that the world unites now to pledge its support to fully fund the GPEI's five-year plan that will take us to the day when we can declare the end of polio. What an amazing gift to the world that will be. Ending polio will lead the way to ensuring that children living in hard-to-reach places also can benefit from other life-improving health and development resources.
We're holding the summit in Abu Dhabi to recognize that Middle Eastern and Islamic countries are emerging as leaders in efforts to immunize children against polio and other diseases. In 2011, His Highness General Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi, committed $50 million to polio eradication and vaccine delivery. And just last month, the Islamic Development Bank's board approved an innovative financing mechanism to provide $227 million in polio financing to Pakistan.
This summit is only part of the work we must do to bring the benefits of immunization to everyone. This week, GAVI will hold its Partners' Forum, bringing together diverse stakeholders to work through the toughest problems in vaccine delivery. Later in 2013, experts will set out a strategy for the polio endgame, and GAVI will report on its progress and success in rolling out a new generation of vaccines.
We're committed to creating a world that reaps the benefits of reaching all children with the vaccines they need, and look forward to another seminal moment in the Decade of Vaccines.

The AARP Foundation, AARP's affiliated charity, has received a $200,000 grant from the MetLife Foundation to expand the Staying Sharp initiative. Staying Sharp is a joint project of AARP Foundation, NRTA: AARP's Educator Community and the Dana Alliance for Brain Initiatives that promotes cognitive fitness ("brain health") as people enter their later years. This new grant provides funding for Staying Sharp forums and activities to be held in 2007.
Through publications, online information and live events such as speakers forums and presentations, Staying Sharp makes the very latest in brain research available and comprehensible to older Americans—providing people with clear and accurate information about brain health and maintenance of mental ability during the aging process.
"We are very grateful to the MetLife Foundation for the opportunity to continue the Staying Sharp activities. Brain health is an important part of being able to live independently and we are pleased to be able to bring valuable information and interesting forums to the public," says Robin Talbert, Executive Director, AARP Foundation.
MetLife Foundation funded the initiative in 2005 and 2006, supporting a series of Staying Sharp public forums that were held in Philadelphia, Chicago, Miami, St. Louis and Atlanta. The grant also supported the distribution of Staying Sharp Information Kits (in English and Spanish) that included easy to understand booklets on topics such as Memory Loss and Aging, Learning Throughout Life, Depression and Chronic Health Issues, and more. The grant also supported development of a core of volunteers trained to present a Brain Health Multimedia presentation.
"We are pleased to expand support for the Staying Sharp initiative," said Sibyl Jacobson, President, MetLife Foundation. "This program not only raises awareness of the importance of keeping mentally fit, but promotes successful aging which is a major concern for the growing number of older adults."
The collaboration has been a success for MetLife, The AARP Foundation and NRTA: AARP's Educator Community, which oversees the Staying Sharp forums and activities. In June, over 1,200 people turned out to hear a Staying Sharp forum in Miami. Also, recently, more than 700 people turned out for a Staying Sharp forum in St. Louis that featured three top neuroscientists from nearby Washington University. The panelists were: Dr. John Morris, Director of the Memory and Aging Project, Center for Aging and Director of the Alzheimer's Disease Center, Dr. Martha Storandt, Professor of Psychology and Dr. David Holtzman, Professor of Neurology & Molecular Biology and Pharmacology. The scientists discussed how the brain changes with age—memory loss, dementia and Alzheimer's disease, and what members can do to protect and enhance brain health. The new grant will extend the reach of the Staying Sharp initiative bringing important brain health information to the public in more cities across the country.

WebRTC Video Conferencing: In What Browser?
We thought the division would be between the "free world" and the "walled garden" advocates (i.e., Microsoft and Apple). The reality isn't so simple.
Editor's Note: For an update on browser implementations, see this post from November 2012.
If you are dealing in any way in the video communication market or even in VoIP and haven't heard about WebRTC, it probably is time for you to get acquainted with WebRTC. It is going to change everything and anything you know about your market.
While I have written a series of posts about WebRTC already, I didn't cover the topic of who is actually driving this forward. Well...besides Google that is.
When Google announced WebRTC and outlined their plan, it was quite easy to draw the lines in the sand: where the forces for and against such an initiative will be placed.
On one side, we'd have Google's Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and Opera browsers.
On the other side, we'd have Apple's Safari and Microsoft Internet Explorer.
The "free" world on one side and the "walled garden"/"commercial experience" on the other side. Guess what? The story is a bit more complicated than that.
Google Chrome
This support is still in alpha stages. It is available on the latest releases of Chrome, but you need to enable it in your browser to get access to the WebRTC APIs.
Mozilla Firefox
Microsoft Internet Explorer
There are a few questions here left open that are important:
* Will they offer it in their official first release of Windows 8?
Only time will tell.
Apple Safari
Expect Apple to ignore this technology in the next couple of years.
The interesting thing here is that no real progress has been made on mobile so far when it comes to WebRTC except for Opera Mobile. None of the other players has been showing anything on mobile: not even Google. Will the next release of Android (code-named Jellybean) support WebRTC? I am not sure.
Microsoft will roll out Windows 8 for tablets soon, but I think it won't have WebRTC in its initial release--they have too much on their plates for this release as it is.
And Apple--well, Apple will pull some other rabbit out of their hat for the iPhone 5 (or the new iPhone?) and for their new new iPad. They will leave WebRTC for the other players. Someone else will need to provide a WebRTC SDK for their platform--and there are those who are working in that direction already.
Google has had a head start over the rest of the pack. They practically control WebRTC. It is no surprise then that they were the first to introduce WebRTC support in their Chrome browser.
Mozilla has started showing off WebRTC support in their browser. Nothing stable enough to be able to release it in their main branch of the browser, but this is positive progress.
Opera hasn't captured a large audience on desktops, but is an important player on smartphones. In Opera Mobile 12, WebRTC APIs are available and working.
In the last IETF meeting, the status of WebRTC was provided. Guess what? Microsoft has indicated interest in supporting WebRTC in their IE browser--most probably in order to support Skype in maybe in some future version of Lync as well. This is really good news.
* Will they add support to Windows 7 and Windows XP for WebRTC?
* Will their Windows 8 support be limited to desktops or will they also provide it to tablets and smartphones?
Now, only Apple is missing in action. They will probably skip WebRTC for now, as they have vested interest in their FaceTime walled garden of video chat service and in H.264, which isn't part of WebRTC at this point in time.
While supporting desktop browsers is interesting, it is not the important side of the story. If you look at Horace Daidu's rise and fall of personal computing, you will see how personal computing is shifting to tablets and smartphones, and this is where video conferencing is going to shine (at least on the tablet).

10 weeks post op, fear I may have snoopy deformity or early Capsular Contracture, Maybe implant needs to drop? (Photo)
I got 500cc high profile silicone under muscle, I did not have any sagging whatsoever so Im scared I may have snoopy deformity on my left breast since there is still breast tissue hanging under my implant. both left and right feel the same firmness so I dont know if maybe its an early capsule formation? my left is obviously higher and with an odd shape almost torpedo like shape, seems to be exactly the same as the 1st day post op. Should I be worried? I have been massaging, seems to be no change
Doctor Answers 8
are best managed by your surgeon as we all have our own ideas of how best to manipulate an implant into better, more desirable positions. But if you do nothing, you can expect your implants to not change much from their current position. And you do not have a snoopy deformity. As your left implant settles, it will fill out the bottom better.
At 10 weeks post op you are too early to know what your final results will be. Implants tend to ride high for the first few weeks and they "drop" and soften up over the next 3-6 months. Keep in mind that it is 2 different surgeries. One on each breast. They will swell and heal differently. Additionally, the 2 sides can drop and soften at different rates. I know it's difficult to be patient, try not to keep analyzing them for the next couple of months. Hope this helps and best of luck.
Thank you for the photos and it is still early to judge your final result though I would recommend wearing a strap to push down on your implants 24/7

I can see why you're concerned. Your breasts still look like you've just had surgery - that is, your implants don't appear to have dropped and fluffed out, making your breasts look more natural. This can be an issue with larger submuscular implants and if you naturally have smaller breasts. Talk to your surgeon about what you can do to help get them to drop. You might need a band.
Give it time. Perhaps a breast band. Overall you have a great result. it can take 3-6 months to fully settle. Good luck and be well.
It looks like your breasts haven't settled yet into a more natural position. This generally takes three to four months, or longer if you don't have much of your own natural breast tissue and your skin is tight.
Web reference: https://plus.google.com/+Edelsteincosmetic
It is completely understandable to be concerned but rest assured that your breasts will heal at different times and the implants will settle each on their own time schedule. I would suggest that at 10 weeks that you should have been doing some implant massage and laying on the implants to help them settle as it does seem that they are still riding high. I would schedule a follow up visit with your surgeon for an assessment and their recommendations for massage as each surgeon has their own protocol. You can also see if the ASPEN protocol is available anywhere in your area. That is a special system of breast massage, ultrasound, and bandaging to help with swelling and healing after breast augmentation. Good luck!
It does not appear that you have a snoopy breast deformity or capsular contracture. Massage and compression of the breast implant may help with settling and shaping of your left breast. The breast shape will continue to change even beyond 10 weeks. If there is no significant change to your shape after 6 months, discuss your concerns with your plastic surgeon. At that time a modification to your left pocket dimensions may help to improve your asymmetry. Thanks for sharing your photos and questions. Best wishes.

diablo tune reviews...
as we all know diablo tune has been released and most of us either ordering or installed it all ready.
got the trinity and installed the tune with bwoody intake and a borla ATAK. drove it for about an hour and i like it the car seems responsive ...but i expected more. saw a couple of videos about disabling the traction. ok i tried it the jeep became a rear wheel drive and its going side ways(its not four wheel spinning). anyway its just an hour of driving so ill see what can it do tonight. share your reviews and let the game begin :) |
Re: diablo tune reviews...
unfortunately Im still waiting on my Trinity.......
Just want to get some clarification if possible. I ordered a Trinity and have a 2012 GC with the HEMI. Have any tunes been released for my truck or just the SRT. Thanks.
Re: diablo tune reviews...
just the SRT Jeep for now....the rest are coming
Installed mine two days ago, not impressed.
Drove all day and then went to my tuner to data log, he was not impressed at all. A copy of the log has been sent to Diablo sport and awaiting response. Back to B&G tune. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD |
Re: diablo tune reviews...
really? What about the torque control in first gear? Still there?
I'm not sure if you mean torque management, but yes it's still there.
Diablo replied back today saying that the previous B&G tune might be interfering with their tune, although the previous tune was pulled out before the canned tune loaded. Another guy tried to load the Diablo tune on his wk2 from his own trinity but it kept giving him error messages and didn't marry with his jeep. So I'll just swap back to my stock factory PCM and see what happens. To tell you the truth I'm not getting my hopes up. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD |
Re: diablo tune reviews...
well...cmr's will be where the moneys at with these beasts anyway...just like the gen1 SRt Jeeps
I hear you, a cmr tune is the only reason I got the trinity.
Tomorrow should erase the doubts when I swap back to the stock PCM and try to load the canned tune and see what happens. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD |
Re: diablo tune reviews...
So what are we seeing as gains? I have heard 2-3 1/10s in 0-60 runs and up to half a second in the quarter. Is this true?
I didn't do a run with the Diablo tune, did one when data logging but it was from a roll and had some knock and retard. I immediately put back the B&G tune.
So far the B&G tune is working very well and got some good times with it. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD |
Re: diablo tune reviews...
my best is 4.7 and with the trinity guess what 4.7 !!!!

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) — Technology stocks were mostly lower Tuesday, despite gains in shares of Netflix Inc. and Amazon.com
Netflix NFLX, +0.90% gained 2% to close at $371.67, while Amazon AMZN, +2.14% rose 1.5% to close at $301.19, bucking a downward slide in the sector, which saw the Nasdaq Composite Index COMP, +0.38% shed 0.7% to close at 4,097. The Morgan Stanley High Tech 35 Index MSH, +0.20% and the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index SOX, -0.25% were each down a fraction.
After posting gains earlier in the session, shares of Facebook Inc. FB, +0.63% slipped 1% to close at $58.56, despite an upbeat note from Cantor Fitzgerald analyst Youssef Squali, who reaffirmed a buy rating on the stock.
One of the factors Squali cited was potential gains from Facebook's WhatsApp messaging service. The company, which Facebook recently acquired for $19 billion, "is a multi-billion dollar opportunity" for the tech giant," he wrote.
"WhatsApp surpassed 500 million users in April with a target of 1 billion plus users before starting to aggressively pursue monetization," he told clients in a note. "Given the communication nature of WhatsApp and its high-value proposition, one could easily see how valuable this platform is."
Google GOOGL, +1.10% shares were up a fraction to close at $540.39. But the sector was weighed down by declining shares of Hewlett-Packard HPQ, +0.00% and Cisco Systems. CSCO, -0.82% Twitter TWTR, +0.67% fell 1% to close at $31.77.

Kingdom of Heaven is for Children
Today's sermon is about Matthew Chapter 18 where there is a recorded event where Jesus uses children among the crowd to emphasize an important lesson: the quality of children ought to emulated.
There is some variety of which qualities He was emphasizing, but one which is mentioned today is humility. But it is often overlooked that, in Matthew's gospel, it is not only the manner we approach the kingdom of heaven, but also how we should receive others.
Entering the Kingdom of Heaven is a present moment dilemma. As we grow up in the ways of the world, we lose the very things we need to know God and be with Him.
Please pray for Fr. John Brian who continues to encourage us in the continuing development of Christian spirituality.
This sermon uses and refers to scripture readings appointed by the Syrian Malankara calendar and was given on Sunday, July 28, 2013 by Fr. John-Brian Paprock at Holy Transfiguration Orthodox Mission Chapel, Madison, Wisconsin.
Please pray for our mission and help us as you are able.

CUE will debut in the 2013 XTS. Then it's slated to go into the upcoming ATS sport sedan, followed by the SRX crossover and the Volt-based ELR farther down the pipeline.
The design of the XTS's center stack, which contains a set of capacitative (touch-sensitive) climate controls below the touch- and gesture-sensitive touch-screen, was sculpted around the new CUE system, which incorporates both sets of controls under a glossy black lens. With the press of a button, the climate controls slide up to reveal that they're merely a thin panel, with a rubber-bottomed storage bin just behind, containing up to two liters of stow space.
As we pointed out in a first look at the XTS Concept shown at the 2010 Detroit Auto Show, the XTS's center stack looks largely black and blank until it's powered up. The photo also shows that GM's head-up display will remain available.
Also of note is a new set of steering wheel controls that, like with MyLincoln Touch, allow you to toggle between dash displays (side to side) and make individual selections (up and down).
Overall, the instrument panel shows a new, more flowing and somewhat softer look. The dash has a layered look overall, with a soft top and stitched detailing, with a seam running through the middle.
Take a look at these pictures for an early look at the XTS interior, interspersed with exterior pics of the original concept, then read this for more up-close details about the CUE interface. And of course, check back for full details in November from the LA show floor.

The Power of the Internet in China
Citizen Activism Online

The Power of the Internet in China
Citizen Activism Online
Columbia University Press
Since the mid-1990s, the Internet has revolutionized popular expression in China, enabling users to organize, protest, and influence public opinion in unprecedented ways. Guobin Yang's pioneering study maps an innovative range of contentious forms and practices linked to Chinese cyberspace, delineating a nuanced and dynamic image of the Chinese Internet as an arena for creativity, community, conflict, and control. Like many other contemporary protest forms in China and the world, Yang argues, Chinese online activism derives its methods and vitality from multiple and intersecting forces, and state efforts to constrain it have only led to more creative acts of subversion. Transnationalism and the tradition of protest in China's incipient civil society provide cultural and social resources to online activism. Even Internet businesses have encouraged contentious activities, generating an unusual synergy between commerce and activism. Yang's book weaves these strands together to create a vivid story of immense social change, indicating a new era of informational politics.
An attentive and richly detailed study of the Chinese Internetcertainly the best book I've read on the subject. Guobin Yang does a very fine job of summarizing new developments and vividly describing a variety of online communities.
Patricia M. Thornton, University of Oxford
In today's China, who benefits more from the power of the Internet: citizen activists or state authorities? Guobin Yang comes down decisively on the side of the citizenry, seeing online activism as the revival of a Chinese revolutionary spirit that is setting the stage for the long-awaited democratic breakthrough. Although the conclusion of this richly documented study is certainly controversial, the careful research and clear reasoning are incontrovertible. Whether or not Yang's optimistic prognosis proves correct, his excellent scholarship and engaging style make for an impressive contribution to a timely debate.
Elizabeth J. Perry, Henry Rosovsky Professor of Government, Harvard University
Much has been written about the role the Internet has played in political campaigns and grassroots politics in America, but the real transformative power of the Internet can be seen in places like China and Iran, where authoritarian governments are faced with the irreversible power of individuals coming together online. This book gives an in-depth look at the explosion of Internet use in China and the dramatic political and cultural changes it has enabled. The ultimate instrument of individual empowerment is remaking one of the most controlling societies on earth. What Chinese leadership will be forced to recognize is that this democratic surge must be accommodated. Failure to do so will either stop economic development or result in the current regime's loss of power.
Governor Howard Dean
Transformations in China and transformations of communication are two of the great stories of the contemporary era. They come together in Guobin Yang's outstanding study of online activism in the People's Republic. The Internet expands activists' sense of themselves as participants in global movements, and it is used in distinctively Chinese ways. It circulates repertoires of collective action and occasions new forms of action. In this well-researched and well-written book, Yang gives the best account available of this experimentation, innovation, and social change.
Craig Calhoun, president, Social Science Research Council, and University Professor of the Social Sciences, New York University
A boundary-breaking book.... A snap review of some of the hottest issues in front of the Chinese public today.
Daniel Little, Understanding Society
Mr. Yang's work is essential reading.
Rebecca MacKinnon, Far Eastern Economic Review
This work represents a major advancement in scholarly research... unquestionably, it should be on reading lists for courses related to social and political development in China... it is highly recommended to all.
Jonathan Sullivan, The China Quarterly
Of interest to sociologists and students of mass communications... Recommended.
Essential reading for all those seeking a more nuanced account of the power of the internet in China than that provided by international media and human rights organizations.
Colin Hawes, The China Journal
Yang develops a lens that centers on concrete issues and situations that are both empirical-practical and conceptual-theoretical.
Peter Marolt, International Journal of Communication
The Power of the Internet in China by Yang Guobin is destined to be classic and obligatory reading for anyone interested in understanding the role of the internet in people's struggle for freedom, justice, and democracy in China.
Lokman Tsui, China Information
The Power of the Internet in China offers us not only a rich study of Chineseonline activism but also raises significant questions about China's civil society.
Ming-Cheng Miriam Lo, Contemporary Sociology

Anyone know the proper way/have experience repairing broken clay field tile using plastic tile? I don't have a source of clay tile and I thought the plastic would be less expensive too. I just rented out a field for beans and told the guy that I would need to fix the tile, but he decided to plant anyway (big storms were on the way). Thanks in advance for the replies!
A temporary option would be to get some fiberglass cloth and resin and make a patch over the damaged portion of clay tile. It might take several layers to make it as strong as you need. You will need to clean the clay where the resin will adhere. I'd also recommend that you wear gloves that will not deteriorate from the resin. Pretty easy to work with really.
What about the Cardboard tubes, place one cut in half over the broken tile add concrete mixed kinda on the dry side. then after drying cover with soil. But also you will need some wire to renforce the concrete..
They make a tapered end for the plastic tile that will fit into the clay. Dig up a length of tile to make sure you get a dozen or so good clay tiles, replace the entire section with plastic and then you will have enough tiles for the next 4-5 repair jobs.
