Late this afternoon, it came to our attention that Joseph Mangano, Janette Sherman and Robert Alvarez will be holding a news conference on Monday morning (December 19) concerning a new study they've done about how Americans might be affected by radiation released into the atmosphere from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear facility in Japan.
While we haven't seen the article as of yet and can't comment on it, our readers should know that reliable third parties have reviewed the work of all three authors in the past and found it to be fatally flawed.
Here's what the New Jersey Commission on Radiation Protection had to say about Mangano's "Tooth Fairy" project:
The Commission is of the opinion that "Radioactive Strontium-90 in Baby Teeth of New Jersey Children and the Link with Cancer: A Special Report," is a flawed report, with substantial errors in methodology and invalid statistics. As a result, any information gathered through this project would not stand up to the scrutiny of the scientific community. There is also no evidence to support the allegation that the State of New Jersey has a problem with the release of Sr-90 into the environment from nuclear generating plants: more than 30 years of environmental monitoring data refute this.In June, Michael Moyer of Scientific American had this to say about a study by Mangano and Sherman on radiation and Fukushima:
[A] check reveals that the authors' statistical claims are critically flawed—if not deliberate mistruths.As for Mr. Alvarez, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission had this to say about one of his papers on the safety of spent fuel pools:
Only by explicitly excluding data from January and February were Sherman and Mangano able to froth up their specious statistical scaremongering.
This is not to say that the radiation from Fukushima is not dangerous, nor that we shouldn't closely monitor its potential to spread (we should). But picking only the data that suits your analysis isn't science—it's politics. Beware those who would confuse the latter with the former.
The NRC staff has reviewed the paper, "Reducing the Hazards from Stored Spent Power- Reactor Fuel in the United States," April 21, 2003, Robert Alvarez, et al., (published in Science and Global Security, spring 2003) and concludes that it fails to make the case for its central recommendation.Members of the press should take care to challenge the findings announced on Monday, and to be sure to contact NEI or other third party experts to review the validity of the study, rather than simply rebroadcast its findings.
Our review of the paper indicates that it is a deficient study of the hazards associated with the storage of spent fuel. Many of the 114 cited references are NRC studies or NRC contracted studies conducted for a variety of purposes, and most are not applicable to terrorist attacks.

You missed my point I suppose but whatever. No point in hammering in again why I felt your stated opinion was so odd I just couldn't believe it. Trying to avoid needless arguing atm... lets all just laugh at Hysteria's form instead.

For now she didn't change direction in the air and she wasn't even at the height that was impossible for other Claymores (not only Miria but also two other Claymores could reach that height with ease). In chapter 106 (one page before last) we have another example of AB "flying" (along with Miria). Also her wings seem way to small to allow her fly but: a) it's manga b) if they can increase their mass maybe they can decrease it (so if she had the same mass as a Claymore even such small wings could probably allow her to fly) c) it's manga But like I said, for now it looks like jumping to me although since she has wings Yagi will probably make her a flying AB. Which I don't see as an asset when it comes to fighting. Escaping yes, but fighting? It looked to me she was faster as a Claymore than she is now. |

____ About Hysteria not being able to pull the sword out there's also something called inertia in Claymore world. With one of her runnings and stoppings it should have fallen off. |

Probably Hysteria is going to be killed without even fighting. The fight between the other two is going to throw some rocks, one of them is going to impact the sword and that is how Hysti the elegant cockroach will be defeated. Or maybe Raki will do something. |

I don't care about looks/aesthetics as long as the story is good and characters feel real, act consistently and receive proper character development. And to be honest recently only the art is still on a relatively high level. I'm not surprised that Arturro has put reading Claymore on hold. |

Hysteria can always revert back to human form and remove the sword from her throat and retransform again...
Also, I hope her current form isn't her definite form and it only looks like that because the sword is making her unable to fully transform...because she looks pretty damn ugly for an AO |

Maybe current form of 'Hysteria the Ellegant' is not her REAL form. I am almost sure, that this form is a disgusting 'fake doll' just like that that one which 'Destroyer Rafaella/Luciella" has. Knowing Yagi stile, he needs an another climax for 'Hysteria vs Claymores' battle. Hysteria's current state doesn't look like she can do something against 'united forces' of Ghosts. This form can't be her real form. I am sure, that when one of Ghosts(probably Helen with her 'drill sword', because she acts before she thinks), I am sure, that when one of Ghosts will destroy Hysteria's head, Hysterias real form will be revealed. For now, Hysteria the AO doesn't need to be even a little serious. Miria and 'claymores bunch' were for Hysteria like an insects, like a trash. Now she have against her people who experienced fight vs abyssal ones (Riful, Isley) or powerful AB (Agatha, Riguardo), even if they didn't kill them, they had grown. Everyone are experienced and determinated. Even if they cannot kill her, she needs to be serious to win against them.
Roxy form is awesome, her blades resemble those of Beth. Sorry, I am going to work, so I end my post here. I shouldn't write in the morning, but I am full of thoughts about this chapter.

Point blank though, many many factors go into how a person turns out -- it's beyond their control, but everything from their personality/power/technique, to perhaps even their state-of-mind/how they fancy themselves/etc....but it's always with a darker corrupted twist, since they are awakening after all (so the idea of Teresa becoming something purely angelic didn't sound right to me -- even if that matched her personality, which it doesn't, she would still have that darker twist as she is becoming a monster; the comparison I brought up is to what Galadriel said in Lord of the Rings if she possessed the One Ring ). -- Roflmao, love all the Hysteria T-Rex jokes...that she can look so ridiculous and not have arms just makes her look funnier . That said, Yagi could save himself from this with what Milla Genai just said -- that this isn't her "true" form....heck; since considering the very nature of their revival, the fact that their Awakening was forced....it could easily be said that this is like getting infected with the parasites - this isn't their true form; wouldn't surprise me if that ended up happening. -- I do agree though that Hysteria can't fly...I mean if she can, it's gonna look/be awkward as hell considering her appearance, so at best, she could probably "hover" or have limited flight to some degree.....if she has the same true flight though like Priscilla, the fact that it's a manga will be the only explanation - I don't care how powerful she is, something as ridiculous looking as her Awakened form has no excuse other then "she just can".

Let's all join and prey that that Histy's form is not her definitive form........i don't think i can take seriously a fight between the ghosts and that...."thing".......
....but it would be quite funny if Histy can go around with tons of warriors impaled to her "blades" like a giant coat stand,LOL. |

Argh, guess the release date didn't work out my schedule this time either... I blame the weekdays since I'm at work.
Anyways, back to chapter discussion... I think Yagi's lost. Even though I did like the chapter because of the ghosts stepping in (mind blown), so far we've only seen stupid sexual innuendos/insect formed like ABs that don't "fit" the scene. Jeez, I don't know whether Yagi's just ran out of decent ABs he can think of and he's kinda rushing out the end, so he can bring Clare/Priscilla back. Btw, I do wonder if the ghosts will even have a chance to take out Hysteria head on... Even though theirs only one AB (since Cassandra and Roxanne are fighting), even Miria was no match to her in sheer power/abilities. And now she's awakened.. ROFL at the beauty obssessed witch transformed to a fly-legged Teresa/Clare statue

Maybe Hysteria was created by Yagi drawing the head and then telling one of his assistants to draw a torso and the other assistant legs .

I will take you in a door and up a high stairs,
Singing and dancing is heard everywhere,
I will let you shake hands with the people you see,
And watch the kids dance around the big Christmas tree.
You ask about work and you ask about pay,
They'll tell you they make less than a dollar a day,
Working the copper claims, risking their lives,
So it's fun to spend Christmas with children and wives.
There's talking and laughing and songs in the air,
And the spirit of Christmas is there everywhere,
Before you know it you're friends with us all,
And you're dancing around and around in the hall.
Well a little girl sits down by the Christmas tree lights,
To play the piano so you gotta keep quiet,
To hear all this fun you would not realize,
That the copper boss' thug men are milling outside.
The copper boss' thugs stuck their heads in the door,
One of them yelled and he screamed, "there's a fire,"
A lady she hollered, "there's no such a thing.
Keep on with your party, there's no such thing."
A few people rushed and it was only a few,
"It's just the thugs and the scabs fooling you,"
A man grabbed his daughter and carried her down,
But the thugs held the door and he could not get out.
And then others followed, a hundred or more,
But most everybody remained on the floor,
The gun thugs they laughed at their murderous joke,
While the children were smothered on the stairs by the door.
Such a terrible sight I never did see,
We carried our children back up to their tree,
The scabs outside still laughed at their spree,
And the children that died there were seventy-three.
The piano played a slow funeral tune,
And the town was lit up by a cold Christmas moon,
The parents they cried and the miners they moaned,
"See what your greed for money has done."

Jamaal Tinsley usually has a pre-game exercise routine, but he was told "not to do a lot" before Saturday night's game with Phoenix. It turned out that starting point guard Mo Williams was a late scratch because of a strained muscle in his thigh, putting Tinsley in the starting point guard spot.
As it turned out, Tinsley did a lot in the 94-81 victory as he dished out 14 assists — his best total in five seasons — and directed a Jazz offense that got the ball into the big men better than in any previous game.
"I thought he was great,'' said Jazz coach Tyrone Corbin. "It's difficult and people don't understand how when somebody goes down and you actually start and play the minutes... he got us into the stuff we needed to get into.''
Tinsley, a nine-year NBA veteran, said it wasn't a big deal to suddenly be on the floor 41 minutes instead of the 10 or 15 that he's usually plays with the Jazz.
"I'm used to it,'' he said. "Whatever they need from me I try to go out and do my best and play hard. I try to stay ready and control what you can control.''

On December 26, 2003, the Melbourne Cricket Ground witnessed a blitzkrieg as India's Virender Sehwag annihilated the Australian attack. Nishad Pai Vaidya looks back at that Boxing Day nine years ago when Sehwag dispatched everything in his zone to the boundary and missed out on a memorable opening day double due to his aggressive instincts.
The Boxing Day Test match is one of the most eagerly anticipated event in Australia as a New Year approaches. It isn't the Australian cricketers alone who are honoured to play the game, but players from around the globe are in awe of the occasion at the iconic MCG. The atmosphere in the huge coliseum can be very unnerving and intimidating. However, the enormity of the situation or its significance doesn't matter to a certain Virender Sehwag and he showed why on Boxing Day in 2003.
Led by the inspirational Sourav Ganguly, India had played beyond expectation on their 2003-04 tour to Australia. No one had expected them to take the fight to Steve Waugh's Australians in their own den. Going into the third Test at Melbourne, India were leading 1-0 after a brilliant victory at Adelaide. The momentum was with India and Australia were the side under pressure.
On a batting beauty at the MCG, Ganguly won the toss and elected to bat first. Virender Sehwag and Aakash Chopra had been good at the top and India needed them to provide another good start. In fact, Sehwag had shown glimpses of his belligerence in the two previous Tests, but he needed to carry on to make a big impact. Assessing the conditions at Melbourne, the opener decided to tweak his approach and was circumspect in the first hour — much like his partner Chopra.
The pitch had something in it for the bowlers and Brett Lee rapped Sehwag on the helmet with a scorching bouncer. He also had a close call when he guided a rising delivery from Nathan Bracken through the slip cordon. It could have easily gone to one of the men standing in the vicinity. Another chance flew past backward point, even as the Australians wondered what might have been.
In the first 20 overs, India moved to 42 for no loss with Sehwag on 24 off 59 deliveries. A batsman like him cannot be kept quiet for too long and Sehwag took it to the bowlers once Stuart MacGill, the leg-spinner, was introduced into the attack. The Delhi dasher welcomed MacGill to the attack by smashing him for a huge six over long-off.
With his eye in, Sehwag unleashed an array of strokes. MCG stood up and applauded his brilliance as the Australian fielders were reduced to mere spectators. He brought up his fifty with a powerful cut over point and that was the start of his attack. With his typical hand-eye coordination, he dispatched everything in his zone to the boundary. If he was full, he would flay his bat to hit it through the off side and if it was a touch shorter, he would stand tall to cut it.
The huge boundaries at the MCG were no match to Sehwag's incredible power as he lofted MacGill nonchalantly. Chopra was going steady at the other end, but was dismissed with the score on 141. That didn't deter Sehwag as he continued his merry ways. He brought up his hundred with a flick to the mid-wicket boundary and celebrated his ton with genuine delight. Did someone say he didn't have the footwork to succeed on foreign pitches?
Even after he got the milestone, Sehwag continued to toy with the Australian bowling. MacGill continued to suffer as Sehwag now targeted the on-side. Steve Waugh introduced himself into the attack and bowled his gentle medium pace. Sehwag carted a slower delivery off him over long-off for another six. MCG started looking smaller and smaller with each passing hit.
During the knock, he got his 50, 100 and 150 with boundaries. He has often said that he doesn't bother if he is on zero or 99, if it is in his zone, he would go after it. That is exactly what he did that day. However, with such an approach, he lives by the sword and dies by it. On 189, he got a juicy full-toss off Simon Katich and he smashed it with all his power over long-off for a massive six. The next delivery was also a full-toss and Sehwag went after it again — only to be caught at long-on.
With five runs to go for a memorable Boxing Day double, Sehwag lost his wicket while backing his instincts. Sanity would have dictated him to turn the strike around and look for singles, but that is Sehwag for you. John Wright wrote in his book Indian Summers, "I sometimes wish he'd pick the part of the ground where he didn't have to clear a fielder, but then again Viru doesn't clutter his mind by worrying about where the fielders are."
It was the dismissal Australia were looking for and the India batting collapsed with Sehwag gone. He was out when India were 311 for 3 and they were eventually bundled out for 366. Many critics targeted Sehwag for his indiscretion. However, Wright wrote, "A lot of critics, though, pointed the finger at Sehwag; they'd reckoned he'd thrown it away because he got caught in the deep trying to hit part-timer Simon Katich was six. I guess that's one way of looking at it; another is that he didn't get to 195 before tea by pushing slow full tosses for a single."
However, the most interesting anecdote Wright recalls in his book is a comment by Mark Taylor on television. Wright recalls Taylor saying, "An opener shouldn't get 190 before tea on the first day. That's just rude."
With Sehwag dominating, it looked like India's game, but Australia seized control after they were given a sniff. Ricky Ponting smashed 257 to take Australia to 558. India fought hard in the second innings with Rahul Dravid and Ganguly leading the way. That wasn't enough as India were bowled out for 286 and Australia won the game comfortably by chasing own the target of 95.
Sehwag's 195 was just a glimpse of what was to come. A few months down the line he became the first Indian to score a triple century in Test cricket. That was the first sign of Sehwag hunger for big scores in Test cricket and he hasn't looked back since.

Among Sterling's verbal barbs:
– "Why are you in the game?"
– "Why did you take that shot?"
– "You're out of shape!"
While Sterling has also taunted other Clippers players since the middle of last season, none have received it worse than Davis.As you might expect, Davis was not entirely pleased with this but was also constrained in what he could say. Again, from the article:
There's nothing I can say," Davis said of Sterling's taunts. "I have no comment on that. You just get to this point where it's a fight every day. It's a fight. You're fighting unnecessary battles. I'm fighting unnecessary battles."
And apparently, the heckling isn't a rare thing. In fact, it sounds pretty regular:
Sterling "started getting a lot more vocal during the second half of last season," one team source said. "He never had done that before at games. Baron's his pet project. He absolutely hates Baron. He wants to get his money back."
Now, I admit, my first response at this story was to chuckle and give one of the million "Clippers suck" jokes that have sprung up in the last 25 years. But as someone that actually owns Davis in a couple of leagues, this isn't a laughing matter. Davis has historically played to his level of motivation, and he already had injury issues on a terrible team. Now we find out that he and the owner actively hate each other, to the point that the owner literally boos him at games? This can't end well, and if Davis ever has even a modicum of a hot run I am trying my best to trade him as soon as possible.

You'll need to play as Diddy Kong (with a second controller) in either World 1-B or 7-B to pull this trick off. When fighting Mugly or Thugly, the rhino-like bosses, they'll usually try to attack by charging at you and swallowing you. Stand at one end of the stage away from Mugly or Thugly and shoot peanuts directly at the boss or specifically when their mouths are open (this is most of the time so you can just shoot continuously). If you get enough peanuts into their mouth they will pause to eat munch them, openly revealing the weak spot on their back. This gives you the perfect opportunity to attack them. You can also keep shooting to increase the time they stop and eat and let Donkey Kong attack them for you. |

Beat the bonus level and you'll get a Rare Orb. There are 8 Rare Orbs to collect, one in the bonus level of each World. Once you have them all, the path to World 9 via The Golden Temple will be unlocked. |
Secret - Roll Recovery
by poke234 Dec 10, 2010
Ever notice a KONG letter hanging precariously off the edge of a cliff? You can grab these by pulling off the tough Roll Recovery move. Roll off the edge of the cliff and jump at the last second to reach a safe ledge above. This takes good timing and isn't easy to master, but it's the only way to get certain collectibles! |
Unlockable - Bonus Music Galleries
by cGub Dec 02, 2010
After you've beaten a boss for a given section of the island, head back to the Extras Menu. You'll have unlocked a bonus music gallery that features the tracks played in the levels of that particular section.

Secret - 3 Extra Lives
by cGub Nov 23, 2010
Begin playing one of your game saves with a low battery charge on your remote to initiate a message from Cranky; he will warn that your battery is low and award you extra lives to help you out. |

You can keep repeating this for infinite DK Coins. |

by pinballpoopoo Dec 10, 2010

Impetigo is a bacterial skin infection that is caused by strep or staph bacteria. The infection often begins when bacteria that normally can be present on the skin enter a small cut or scratch.
Symptoms of impetigo include yellow, crusty, oozing blisters or sores. The sores can appear anywhere on the body. Scratching the blisters may spread impetigo to other parts of the body. Impetigo is more common in children than adults.
Impetigo is treated with antibiotics.

Tue. 1/29/13 12:43pm
Brian in UK:
Does augmented mean something else? | |
Tue. 1/29/13 12:46pm
an augmented chord is the root, major third and sharp fifth notes of a scale. | |
Tue. 1/29/13 12:46pm
Tony Coulter:
It's when male intervals increase their size to better satisfy their partners. | |

Hurray for Jeanne Lee! | |
Tue. 1/29/13 1:06pm
Tony Coulter:
@ Carmichael: Half-stepping up your game, huh? | |
Tue. 1/29/13 1:07pm
Florets or stalks, all of broccoli is awesome. In a triple-spicy szechuan black-bean/garlic sauce, particularly. | |
Tue. 1/29/13 1:08pm
The Dead actually fit in nicely. | |
Tue. 1/29/13 1:09pm
Rich in Washington:
We recently bought som of that bizarre purple broccoli/cauliflower hybrid stuff. Have you seen this? It's kind of repulsive looking but rather tasty. | |
Tue. 1/29/13 1:10pm
Tony Coulter:
Hey there, NGH! | |
Tue. 1/29/13 1:11pm
any recipes for that black bean garlic sauce, bsi? | |
Tue. 1/29/13 1:12pm
Rich in Washington:
It took me many years to enjoy broccoli and eventually become broccoli headed. I had a crazy, fundamentalist christian 3rd grade teacher who used to force us to eat our broccoli. | |

Tony- Are you The Urban Spaceman? | |
Tue. 1/29/13 1:14pm
naah, Glenn, I haven't tried preparing it yet. But it's usually one of the first thing I scan menus for... | |
Tue. 1/29/13 1:14pm
Tony- Are you intelligent and clean? | |
Tue. 1/29/13 1:15pm
Brian in UK:
@bsi I favour oyster sauce with broc & mushrooms, garlic & ginger & red onions rice wine & soy sauce. | |
Tue. 1/29/13 1:16pm
Tony Coulter:
@ Kookie Monster and BSI: I'm the dumb, dirty urban no-spaceman. | |
Tue. 1/29/13 1:17pm
Whoa, so there's another Sonic Circuits compilation series? ... ah, 1999, so it's tied to the older festival. Apologies, do carry on... | |
Tue. 1/29/13 1:18pm
Tony Coulter:
There are at least 10 volumes.... | |
Tue. 1/29/13 1:19pm
Brian in UK:
Think it's beer o'clock over here. | |
Tue. 1/29/13 1:19pm
Tony Coulter:
... of the earlier series... | |
Tue. 1/29/13 1:25pm
ah, thanks Tony. We're at vol.5 now of the DC-centric version. So for a minute there seeing "VII" was like looking into the future, and a massive psychedelic freakout ensued. | |
Tue. 1/29/13 1:36pm
3 friends:
G. Giant is the best! | |
Tue. 1/29/13 1:38pm
Tony Coulter:
Today is GG twofer Tuesday -- I'll be playing another track of theirs later on. | |
Tue. 1/29/13 1:46pm
Greetings Tony and fellow Coultiers, Spiffing to taste some Gentle Giant at last, one of my most favourite vintage prog bands! | |
Tue. 1/29/13 1:47pm
Tony Coulter:
Greetings, noble sire. | |
Tue. 1/29/13 1:51pm
Ahh, the original Nirvana, who Dj Shadow sampled. | |
Tue. 1/29/13 1:53pm
In a glass house is my favourite GG album although many would argue that by that stage they were on their way down and had lost their heavy orchestral classical symphonic touch. However the album is slick, tight and easier to listen to than say 3 friends or aquiring the taste! | |
Tue. 1/29/13 1:55pm
Tony Coulter:
@ NGH: It's amazing -- and sometimes a bit ridiculous -- how many bands have the same name. For example, there are several '80/'90s bands called The Mothers. Can't imagine what their excuse would be for their total lack of originality. | |
Tue. 1/29/13 1:57pm
listener james from westwood:
w00t! ivor encore! | |
Tue. 1/29/13 1:57pm
Rich in Washington:
Was just reading how former Dictators singer Handsome Dick Manitoba bullied indie band Manitoba with a lawsuit, until they finally changed their name to Caribou | |
Tue. 1/29/13 1:57pm
Finnish I believe?! Hi, Tony! | |
Tue. 1/29/13 1:58pm
Tony Coulter:
@ Sir Lancelot: That's my fave GG album as well -- even though I guess the band itself wasn't happy with the album. | |
Tue. 1/29/13 1:58pm
Tony Coulter:
Hi Kat! Finnish indeed! | |
Tue. 1/29/13 1:59pm
Rich in Washington:
And I guess there's the case of Jandek choosing that name after he got a cease and desist letter from a band called The Units. Not sure if it's the same Units that put out High Pressure Days. | |
Tue. 1/29/13 1:59pm
I recognized "syntimapaiva" or something spelled close to that. Hyva syntimapaiva approximates "happy birthday." | |
Tue. 1/29/13 2:00pm
As much of a prog-nerd as I claim to be, I've only got the two G.Giant albums (acquiring the taste & octopus), dunno the material beyond that -- I feel as if I've failed all of you... | |
Tue. 1/29/13 2:01pm
Hey, BSI, quite like the new you! Your own creation? | |
Tue. 1/29/13 2:02pm
Giant Mask:
I'll take Octopus as a Favorite. | |
Tue. 1/29/13 2:04pm
Rich in Washington:
@BSI, those are my two fave GG albums, too. | |
Tue. 1/29/13 2:05pm
@Kat: yep, that's a BSI mugshot from about 1995 (when that kind of fractal rendering software was still novel, clearly). The hat looks like some kind of fedora, but it's a super-tall "cat in the hat" model, just cropped... | |
Tue. 1/29/13 2:06pm
suddenly missing that hat... | |
Tue. 1/29/13 2:09pm
I love the Giant, yet only have the Glass House & Power and the Glory. I couldn't buy EVERY album back in the 70s, although I tried. | |
Tue. 1/29/13 2:11pm
Tony Coulter:
I consider myself a big prog head -- but don't really like a lot of the big names too much ... such as King Crimson, Yes, and ELP. I prefer a lot of the bands influenced by them to those bands themselves. I do like Gentle Giant and Gabriel-era Genesis, though. | |
Tue. 1/29/13 2:14pm
And Carmichael, gotta hand it to your new avatar, too. | |
Tue. 1/29/13 2:16pm
Likewise, Tony: I got introduced to that stuff at the Grobschnitt/Jane/Ange level of non-popularity, so I never really went back to dig the big boys. | |
Tue. 1/29/13 2:17pm
Tony Coulter:
I guess when it comes to famous prog bands, I only like the G groups. Or should I say the Gº groups.... | |
Tue. 1/29/13 2:19pm
To diminish the 70's British innovators. | |
Tue. 1/29/13 2:21pm
Tony Coulter:
They can take being knocked down a half-step. | |
Tue. 1/29/13 2:21pm
G has been a great letter for me. Right there you get Gentle Giant, Guru Guru, Grobschnitt, Gila, Gong, ... uh.. .doing this from memory, I know there's more... | |
Tue. 1/29/13 2:23pm
Yes, ELP and Asia are not prog bands by any stretch of the imagination, despite my friends saying how much they love "prog" and use those examples. Jeez, they've never even heard of Gentle Giant or Dixie Dregs. I need some new friends. | |
Tue. 1/29/13 2:24pm
Tony Coulter:
@ BSI: The Groundhogs? | |
Tue. 1/29/13 2:25pm
Tony Coulter:
Ron Geesin? | |
Tue. 1/29/13 2:26pm
Brian in UK:
The Wondermints who make Brian Wilson a viable touring option have a sense of humour. On Bali there is a track called 'In and Around Greg Lake'. | |
Tue. 1/29/13 2:28pm
Brian in UK:
Grindersnitch? | |
Tue. 1/29/13 2:29pm
Yes! And crap, how could I forget Gomorrha, Goblin, Golem, etc... It's the letter that keeps on giving... | |
Tue. 1/29/13 2:32pm
Gerry and the Pacemakers? (way behind) | |
Tue. 1/29/13 2:32pm
Don"t forget Mort Garson, Diamanda Galas,& Ghost..... | |
Tue. 1/29/13 2:32pm
Tony Coulter:
And Gawkwind and Gappy the Man.... | |
Tue. 1/29/13 2:33pm
Great potential for a parody tribute band with "gawkwind" | |
Tue. 1/29/13 2:34pm
Brian in UK:
Gollocks | |
Tue. 1/29/13 2:34pm
GAGMA! I can see the stage show now! | |
Tue. 1/29/13 2:36pm
No one's typing Grateful Dead? I know I'm not gonna. | |
Tue. 1/29/13 2:37pm
Tony Coulter:
@ kat330: I covered that angle by playing them earlier on the show.... | |
Tue. 1/29/13 2:40pm
Tony Coulter:
I mean "in the show" ... "under the show" ... oh, somewhere.... | |
Tue. 1/29/13 2:40pm
No Humor allowed in a psuedo difficult prog.realm. | |
Tue. 1/29/13 2:40pm
Yeah, I see now! [red face] I wasn't on board yet then. I do like a couple GD tunes quite a bit. | |
Tue. 1/29/13 2:40pm
I favorited the Dead earlier in the show. They're also Gastr del Sol, Ground Zero, David Grubbs, Bernhard Gunter, Guru Guru, Grupo di Improvvisazione Nuova Consanza... | |
Tue. 1/29/13 2:44pm
Galliard, Giles, Giles and Fripp, Gilgamesh, Global Village Trucking Company, Gnidrolog, Gong, Gracious, Gravy Train, Greenslade and Gryphon | |
Tue. 1/29/13 2:45pm
Tony Coulter:
The track on now goes out to all the dogs in the audience.... | |
Tue. 1/29/13 2:46pm
Geez, a quick survey of my LP collection (those not stored away) shows a real dearth of "G" artists. Between F and H I only have a Genesis, a Grieg and Guthrie. | |
Tue. 1/29/13 2:47pm
Kat, would that be Wendy Guthrie, Arlo Guthrie or daddy himself Woody? | |
Tue. 1/29/13 2:47pm
Somehow the letters G, H, M, and S tend to be the bossy ones on my shelf... T is a bit of a booger as well... | |
Tue. 1/29/13 2:48pm
It's Woody. John Hammond follows him and Peter Frampton precedes Genesis. :) | |
Tue. 1/29/13 2:49pm
S is by far the dominant letter in my record collection. | |
Tue. 1/29/13 2:50pm
Tony, is this your tribute to your FMU timeslot competitor, Joe B ? | |
Tue. 1/29/13 2:51pm
One time, (probably due to a strain of insanity that runs through the family) I decided to collect as many Grateful Dead live recordings as possible. I had all the Dick's Picks upto about nuimber 35 when I called it a day. This was due to the fact that they were about to release all of the Europe 72 recordings on 450 cds. Yes 450 cds! now how could I keep up with that! | |
Tue. 1/29/13 2:52pm
Tony Coulter:
@ kat330: Nope, it's my tribute to coffee -- I have to get up early (Pacific time) to do this slot. | |
Tue. 1/29/13 2:55pm
Welcome back my friends:
Acquire the taste. | |
Tue. 1/29/13 2:56pm
You're sure in the right region for coffee. I love my coffee, too, but I've been alternating mornings with tea, just keeping everything in moderation as those of my age are wont to do. ;) | |
Tue. 1/29/13 2:57pm
Tony Coulter:
Welcome back my friends -- to the show that ends in 5 minutes. | |
Tue. 1/29/13 2:58pm

DETROIT — BMW, taking a page from its Mini-E playbook, will lease the attractive Concept Active-E electric cars to "selected customers" next year.
Ulrich Kranz, head of the German automaker's Project i team developing low-emissions city cars, says the car will indeed hit the road next year in limited numbers, but he wouldn't say how limited. If the Mini-E trials are any indication, we'll probably see about 500 in Europe and the United States.
They'll almost certainly be as expensive as they are exclusive.
Mini leased the cars to customers — for a jaw-dropping $850 a month — in what is essentially a big R&D project to refine the technology. BMW says some of the info gleaned from those trials went into the Active-E, which made its debut here at the North American International Auto Show.
The Active-E is a 1-series converted to electric power, and it looks to be a lot more practical than the Mini-E because it's got room for four and a small trunk.
It's rear-wheel drive, and those wheels are powered by a synchronous motor mounted in the differential housing. It puts out 125 kilowatts (170 horsepower). That's about what you'll get from the 120i. More impressive is the torque — 184 pound-feet, all of it available the minute you hit the accelerator. Juice comes from a liquid-cooled 32-kilowatt-hour lithium-ion battery developed with SB LiMotorive. It's mounted in the transmission tunnel and under the hood.
The Active-E weighs 3,900 pounds, which is porcine for a car its size but nothing out of the ordinary for an EV. BMW says the car has perfect 50/50 weight distribution. Stomp on it and BMW says the Active-E will do zero to 100 km/h in 8.5 seconds. That's on par with the 116i and 118i models. Top speed is limited to 145 km/h (90 mph). Look for a range in the 100 mile ballpark and a recharge time of six hours at 220 volts. Like the Chevrolet Volt, a smartphone app will let you keep tabs on the state of charge, set the charging time and monitor other info.
No word on when BMW will start taking applications from those looking to lease the cars. If you're interested, be warned: The process for the Mini-E was pretty arduous. That won't keep us from putting our name on the list, just as soon as we figure out how to hide the monthly lease in our expense reports.

The last "teen" to place in a science test had exactly the same "research" which was the Dads research at Stanford.
All these prizes have been devalued by the gaming by parents desparate to push their kids forward.
In a world where billions upon billions push, the normal prizes are devalued for those kids who really think something up themselves.
So any prize winner is devalued by these cheaters. So I hope if this kid did it herself she will discourage the cheaters.

It's easy to see why you think that, I assumed the same when I saw my first science fair -- but you really misunderstand the nature of these projects today. These days, students have the opportunity to work with and under the direction of adults with unique abilities and assets, at research centers or universities with resources they never had in the past, and not just in Silicon Valley. That is no longer discouraged, in fact, it's encouraged that students take advantage of opportunities around them to learn and do more challenging work. For the sake of a competition, they just have to describe the help they got, have official permission to use the resources at whatever company, university or research lab they use, and describe if their work is an extension of someone else's ongoing work or a unique stand-alone project. Judges interview the kids, they can tell if a kid really learned something or not.
This goes even for the younger students like in middle school. There's no point in restricting kids to a stale world of projects already done when they can do real work in the real world, using tools their parents couldn't even have dreamed of. Yes, that does mean kids whose dads have research projects at Stanford could piggyback on that work, but so often could other kids if they asked. Many of the teachers in the area know how to connect very motivated kids to such resources, too, as it sounds may have been the case here.
This young woman is obviously brilliant and highly motivated. Congratulations, Sahana!

In Luc Besson's knowing black comedy, Robert De Niro plays a mobster in a witness protection programme who, while hiding out in Normandy, is asked to watch Goodfellas at a local cinema club. The actor's little riff on the Scorsese classic provides The Family with its best moment. Clearly, De Niro is happy to cannibalise his glorious past, but for those of us who love him, it's like sucking on old bones.
Giovanni Manzoni (De Niro) has been moved, by the FBI, to a tiny village with his wife and two teenage kids. Each member of the clan has anger-management issues. The wife (Michelle Pfeiffer; looking deeply miserable) goes to a local shop and overhears them insulting "dumb Americans" in French. She doesn't say anything (it's one of many mysteries that this character can apparently understand French but chooses not to speak it), she just blows up the shop. Meanwhile, the daughter assaults some sexist boys at her school and Giovanni pulverises the plumber. Etc. The tone is brazenly macho, but simultaneously liberal and self-righteous — we're meant to be shocked by the violence but also cheer it on. At least these guys get stuff done …
The French in the village are idiots. They are curious about the four Yanks, but don't seem to notice the two FBI agents who move into the area at exactly the same time. Or the FBI chief (Tommy Lee Jones, reliably deadpan) who constantly visits the house. Note, too, that the natives are incompetent, dishonest and unromantic. And bad at cooking. Which is actually rather funny, since the insults are being served up by home-boy Besson. There are probably cinéastes who will choose to view The Family as le ultimate in satire. Sophisticates love a lost cause and they're welcome to this one.

You've seen Texas legislator Wendy Davis in her pink sneakers and shuddered over the murder trial of baby killer Kermit Gosnell. Meanwhile, various states are passing increasingly extreme abortion restrictions. But with bill after bill, it's hard to keep track and easy to get swept up in the outrage. What's the bigger picture here? Which of these laws have a real shot at being upheld in court? After all, while the wave of legislation comes out of a deep and abiding rift, a lot of it is also political theater — of use to both sides. Let's go from least to most plausible — from the laws that are largely symbolic to the ones that keep pro-choice lawyers up at night.
First-trimester bans
The laws that make a statement, but won't go into effect without an outright reversal of Roe vs. Wade, are the ones that attempt to outlaw abortion early in pregnancy. North Dakota has a new one timed to detection of the fetal heartbeat, which is usually around six weeks. In March, Arkansas banned abortion 12 weeks after a woman's last menstrual period. These laws will all be struck down in court.
18- and 20-week bans
Eleven states now ban abortion at some point during the second trimester, before a fetus is viable. That number may soon be 12, if the Texas bill that Davis succeeded in temporarily stopping with her crowd-supported filibuster winds up passing.
In several of these states, doctors probably don't do abortions after 18 or 20 weeks anyway. But that's not the case in Arizona, where in 2011, 376 abortions took place in or after the 18th week. (That is only 2.76 percent of the total number of abortions in the state — the vast majority of abortions nationwide take place in the first trimester.) A federal court of appeals struck down Arizona's 18-week ban this spring, and the Georgia courts (where doctors also perform late second-trimester abortions) have also blocked that state's 20-week ban.
Abortion opponents give two justifications for these bans: preventing fetal pain (though there's scant evidence that fetuses can feel pain at this point) and protecting women's health. The idea there is that since the rate of complications for abortion rises in the second trimester, banning the procedure at this point keeps women safe. But giving birth is still riskier than having an abortion at 18 or 20 weeks. Never mind: The 18- and 20-week bans appeal to their supporters because they keep the focus on abortions at a later stage of fetal development, for which there's far less public support. And they could get sympathy from Justice Anthony Kennedy, who joined the Supreme Court's conservative wing in 2007 to uphold a law banning a particular form of very late-term abortion (so-called "partial birth abortion").
Upholding a law like Arizona's, which makes an exception for protecting the life of the mother, but not for protecting her health, or for a serious birth defect, would be a far more drastic step for Kennedy to take.
Medication abortions
Twelve states now have laws that go after abortions delivered by pills in the first trimester. Medication abortions are becoming increasingly popular. But if you oppose abortion from conception, they are a threat. Abortion opponents are trying to make them more expensive and less available — once more, in the name of protecting women's health — by barring abortion providers from prescribing the medication via teleconference. Clinics use teleconferencing to expand services in rural areas. States with telemedicine bans require the doctors to be in the same room when the pill is swallowed, even if a trained nurse or physician's assistant is there. (This is also a fight over credentialing.) So far, Wisconsin's law has been blocked in court; challenges are pending in other states. This is a legal fight that's just beginning.
TRAP laws
"TRAP" stands for targeted regulations of abortion providers. These laws differ in the fine print, but the common goal is to make it prohibitively expensive, or simply impossible, for providers to operate. Often the first step is to require an abortion clinic to meet the same regulatory standards as an ambulatory surgical clinic (a facility that's not a hospital but does outpatient surgery), which often costs too much money for a clinic to do. Twenty-six states now have these laws.
The latest breed of TRAP law requires abortion providers to have admitting privileges at a local hospital. Sounds reasonable, right? The state is just making sure that a patient with complications can get the care she needs. Except that any patient who shows up at an emergency room gets care. Her doctor doesn't need to be affiliated with the hospital. The underlying goal is to use the hospitals' denial of admitting privileges to shut down the clinics.
Seven states now have these laws, though so far they've only gone into effect in Tennessee, Utah, and partially in Kansas. In Wisconsin and North Dakota, suits have recently been filed. And in Alabama and Mississippi, judges have blocked these laws. Providers at Mississippi's lone clinic actually tried to get the admitting privileges. It was after no hospital would grant them that the judge stepped in.
The legal argument against laws requiring hospital admitting privileges is that they impose what the Supreme Court calls an "undue burden" on women exercising their right to have an abortion. Still, here's what has prochoice advocates worried: In nine states, abortion providers are also required to have an agreement with a hospital that lets them transfer a patient who needs emergency care. (Again, the hospital would have to take the patient in an emergency anyway.) In 2003, an Ohio doctor challenged his state's law after the hospital he'd worked with canceled their transfer agreement, without giving a reason, and he couldn't find another hospital to take its place. The doctor wanted a waiver so he could continue to operate, but he essentially lost in federal appeals court. The judges said that because there was another clinic 55 miles away, the law's effect on this clinic didn't pose an undue burden to women.
So that's where we are. The 2010 elections, which put more Republicans in control of statehouses across the country, invigorated abortion opponents and gave them the chance to try new bills. In 2011 and 2012, 135 abortion restrictions passed in the states — the biggest wave ever. And it's still cresting, with 43 additional restrictions so far this year.
How much is all this affecting women who seek abortions? And if you're prochoice, how worried should you be? If you live in a state with a TRAP law that has teeth, clinics may well be shutting down. If there's a telemedicine ban in effect and you live out in the country, you probably have to drive to a city now to take the pills you need. The overarching point is this: In many red states, abortion is truly becoming less accessible. But as significant as these new laws are, no state has yet succeeded in winning the race to be the first without a clinic. The courts still stand between the legislature and the patient. And for the most part, they are on her side.

Crisis Management Guide
Convention Services Manager
How do you cut through the virtual noise to entice your members to read your emails? At a recent Association Forum of Chicagoland SIG meeting on Email Marketing: Writing Effective Emails to Maximize Results, Hilary Marsh, President and Chief Content and Digital Strategist, Content Company, Inc. and Cheryl Wilson, Senior Manager, Marketing at the American Student Dental Association (ASDA) shared their tips.
Hilary drew on her previous experience as Managing Director of REALTOR.org at the National Association of REALTORS (NRA). She noted that most associations have a 98% received rate, 32% open rate, and 21% click rate, and .51% unsubscribe rate. NRA's click rate went down because they sent too many emails. Eventually, they combined communications from 23 departments into one weekly newsletter.
As a key component of an email, "The subject line should be something or someone easily recognizable," Hilary said. " 'From the CEO' might be ineffective." She also enjoined that "Shorter is better. In our (NRA) survey, the highest open rates were for emails with subject lines of less than 10 words." Also, "Choose the right words" such as "alert, bulletin, new, breaking" to convey the meaning you want. Avoid "newsletter, forecast, report, top stories, free." She noted that "help," "percent off," and "reminder" tend to trigger spam filters.
Hilary's additional suggestions included:
Cheryl provided insights from her work at ASDA, describing steps in building email marketing strategy. Considerations include segmentation and being able to answer "What's in it for me?" She explained that "segments can be past attendees, members who have never attended, members within driving distance, and people who have clicked on similar content."
When planning content, think about what your readers care about or need to know. Start with the Planning Committee, and tap into information from session planning worksheets. Then tell your story in different ways, using content teasers, sharing tips, or including links to articles or white papers. Offer webcasts on similar topics or use video to add a human element.
"ASDA emails with videos tend to have higher open rates," she said. "Mix promotions with takeaways. Also, keep the video conversational, without a formal script." ASDA uses a flipcam to film their videos, especially at meetings. Use videos post-meeting to promote the next event.
Cheryl's suggestions include: · Don't bury the lead · Talk about benefits · Make the content skimmable (i.e., use bullets) · Avoid lengthy words and syllables · Include testimonials · Use media – Which photos will pique your readers' interest? How else can you tell the story? · Include a unique call to action, such as "Chapter Leaders: Register your group."
Finally, Cheryl reminded attendees to have a system to keep track of emails and analytics, such as a spreadsheet.

Need advice on 383 G-body build
Hey guys I just started a new build and need some advice on my combo. This is a 383 chevy that is being built with the goal of 450hp/400+tq at the crank. This is a street car that will not see much track time but still want it to pull hard to 6000rpm.
Sorry for the long post but so far this is what i have. Machined factory 2 bolt roller block (w/main studs) Scat 9000 crank (did not see a need for a 4340) probe flat tops Scat I beams Comp HE roller rockers 1.6 OE roller setup Isky 272/282 hydraulic roller .505/.530 (approx .538/.565 w/ 1.6 rocker) Profiler 195cc heads 72cc chamber Performer RPM intake 750 eddy carb TH-400 trans and 3.73 gears Should be right at 10.27 to 1 static and 8 to 1 dyanmic. (93 octane at the pump here.) Do you guys think this will get me where i want to be. Any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks

Thanks for the feedback guys!
I have only the seat of my very large pants to go by, but in my case, for a 355 with a wee little cam in it it pulls really really well. I have to chalk that up to the heads for sure. |
Very nice choice of parts. I like the combo a lot for your goals.
First thing I thought when I read your post was that you had the HP/TQ numbers backwards, as has already been mentioned. |
[QUOTE=vinniekq2;1670946]post a video when shes running.Sounds like it is on track with those parts[/QUOTE
will do soon as she is running |
Assuming a 9cc gasket and zero piston deck height, I get 10.22:1 SCR
When you guys do this stuff, try to show us all the tech data that's available, like the gasket displacement, piston deck height displacement and some info about the cam that we can use to make sense out of the whole mess.......please........I had to hunt up the timing card...... Isky Timing Chart I like this cam better.... Isky Timing Chart With 1.6 rockers, the valve lift is 0.565"/0.587" The flow numbers I found for the heads used a 4.155" intake pipe and that pysses me off a little bit. All of us know that a larger pipe will result in higher numbers, but if you're bolting the heads onto a 4.030" bore block, then the numbers are bogus. I factored their numbers by 0.95 and here are the results..... 0.200...135...95 0.300...194...136 0.400...237...166 0.500...267...184 0.600...270...194 0.700...273...202 RPM.....HP.....TQ 2000...145....380 2500...184....387 3000...235....411 3500...299....449 4000...362....475 4500...420....490 5000...469....493 5500...491....469 6000...505....442 6500...483....390 Peak volumetric efficiency 99.7% @5000 rpm's Peak BMEP 194.1 lbs @5000 rpm's Give up 25 hp with the shorter cam.

Now that I think about it some more, I have done a few builds very close to yours and ran the Victor Jr and the Holley 3310 780 vac secondary. Also ran a shaft system for positive valve control. 3000stall, a little more off idle transition tuning and the thing ran real strong for what it was. Not too bad with street manners either. Was too much fun!!!
Still remembering what I did to that engine. Extended the runners of that Vic Jr manifold out into the plenum kind of like the Wilson manifolds have into the plenum. That woke up the bottom end pretty good! Hooker super comp headers 1.75, 2.5 exhaust through turbo style muffs 2.5 outlet. Also ran MSD dist. and a 6al with a hot coil. 20° initial 38° @ 3000rpm total. 31 shooter, 74 frt jet, 80 rear jet, 6.5 pv frt and rear did open up the IFR .002 . Needed a good starter (Tilton at the time) big battery to turn over hot and ran the best pump gas I could find.

23. Bruce Springsteen
By Jackson Browne
In many ways, Bruce Springsteen is the embodiment of rock & roll. Combining strains of Appalachian music, rockabilly, blues and R&B, his work epitomizes rock's deepest values: desire, the need for freedom and the search to find yourself. All through his songs there is a generosity and a willingness to portray even the simplest aspects of our lives in a dramatic and committed way. The first time I heard him play was at a small club, the Bitter End in New York, where he did a guest set. It was just an amazing display of lyrical prowess. I asked him where he was from, and he sort of grinned and said he was from New Jersey.
The next time I saw him play it was with his band, the one with David Sancious in it. I'd never seen anybody do what he was doing: He would play acoustic guitar and dance all over the place, and the guitar wasn't plugged into anything. There wasn't this meticulous need to have every note heard. It filled that college gym with so much emotion that it didn't matter if you couldn't hear every note.
A year or so later I saw him play in L.A., with Max Weinberg, Clarence Clemons and Steve Van Zandt in the band, and it was even more dramatic — the use of lights and the way it was staged. There were these events built into the music. I went to see them the second night, and I guess I expected it to be the same thing, but it was completely different. It was obvious that they were drawing on a vocabulary. It was exhilarating, and at the bottom of it all there was all this joy and fun and a sense of brotherhood, of being outsiders who had tremendous power and a story to tell.
Bruce has been unafraid to take on the tasks associated with growing up. He's a family man, with kids and the same values and concerns as working-class Americans. It runs all through his work, the idea of finding that one person and making a life together. Look at "Rosalita": Her mother doesn't like him, her father doesn't like him, but he's coming for her. Or in "The River," where he gets Mary pregnant and for his 19th birthday he gets a union card and a wedding coat. That night they go to the river and dive in. For those of us who are ambivalent about marriage, the struggle for love in a world of impermanence is summed up by the two of them diving into that river at night. Bruce's songs are filled with these images, but they aren't exclusively the images of working-class people. It just happens to be where he's from.
Bruce has all kinds of influences, from Chuck Berry and Gary U.S. Bonds to Bob Dylan and Woody Guthrie. But he's also a lot like Montgomery Clift, Marlon Brando and James Dean — people whose most indistinct utterances have been magnified to communicate volumes. He is one of the few songwriters who works on a scale that is capable of handling the subject of our national grief and the need to find a response to an event like September 11th. His sense of music as a healing power, of band-as-church, has always been there. He's got his feet planted on either side of that great divide between rebellion and redemption.
