First step by Ferrari to support area of Modena hit by earthquake
Maranello, 25th May 2012 – Ferrari decided to help the Fonderia Scacchetti in San Felice sul Panaro, where the works have been severely damaged by this week's earthquake, by relocating some of the activities the company has been working on for Ferrari to other foundries in the area and directly to the in-house "light alloy" department in Maranello.
In an extremely short period of time the tools, the Scacchetti workers can use, will temporarily be transferred to Maranello, while the plant in San Felice sul Panaro is rebuilt and work can get back to normal. Thus, during this transitional period, productivity and employment are ensured.
Meanwhile Ferrari is looking into more direct initiatives or fund raising to contribute to help the people in the area around Modena, hit by the earthquake.

Newton Made It Up.
"The theory of gravity is a theory..."
Music theory is just a theory, and has never stood up to scientific scrutiny. All that stuff you hear on the radio is just nonsense.
Yep. The fun thing is that you can substitute as following:
________ Made it Up
The theory of ________ is a theory....
It seems to always work. LOL
All that rocket science is just a theory, too. And medicine, jets, computers, round Earth, what stars are made of, genetics, germs...
Maybe we should start to call it the law of evolution. Maybe then it will hit home -_-
Yea you know like people just write things and they make them up we really should have a system to test things to see if they're valid and reliable I mean why haven't we done that yet...see me writing here...I'm just making this up as I go...I knew Darwin...he told me he made it up...The bible? Oh no that's the truth...Jesus talks to me every night you know...
*sigh* I don't even know where to start when I hear things like this.
Colleen, I can only hope your skull and desk are both sturdy because you probably bang one onto the other often.
The thought that leaped into my mind when I read your rendition of their ramblings was "we DO have such a system you fuckwit... it's called the SCIENTIFIC METHOD!!!!!!"
Haha, exactly the thought I was trying to provoke SteveinCO :)
The problem is that these sheeple are becoming our elected officials. So sad.
Believers will always confuse the two senses of "theory" because it creates the confusion behind which they hide. While both theories begin as speculation, one is used merely as a conjecture to be checked out. The other is as an organizing principle that proves its worth by its explanatory power and by its ability to suggest new conjectures to study and verify.

Hi Brian
I was on the thread about the oversize tires posted today and saw that you had changed a Quikie GPV to offroad just like I am hoping to do. I bought a very lightly used one 6 months ago with both 26" and 24" rims and tires. I have been wondering if there was an advantage to using one size or the other for the offroad chair. I have a freewheel, but like the idea of bigger caster wheels too. Interested in your thoughts on the freewheel vs giant casters and 24 v 26 rears. Are the tires and bigger casters easy to find? Expensive?
Hi I"m looking at a freedom hand cycle. Its kind of old, being a 91. I was reading a thread that you were on, and it seems like you may know something about this model. I rode a hand cycle a couple days ago. Was a leanstear witch was fine. Do not mind having the shifters on the frame. Meeting him Tuesday. he claims it in good shape and he wants about 800 for it. Do you think that I should hold out for a newer one. Its very hard to look at cycles out here on the Oregon coast. So most require shipping. Thanks allot for your time
If anything, I could say that this cat was rare, but I thought NAAAAHHHHHH forget it! Yo Holmes, to Bel Air!
I'm seriously laughing over here.
The license plate said *fresh* and there were dice in the mirror.....
This guy.
You're fucking cool! Love your photos. The more offensive, the more I laughed.

Antidepressants are nothing new, but the U.S. Army is looking into a new way to deliver them. That's why they gave the University of Indiana $3 million to work on an anti-suicide nasal spray.
The active ingredient here is something called thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH), and it's already shown promise in preventing suicides. The problem is figuring out how to get the stuff into the brain. TRH is able to help with suicidal urges, depression, and bipolar disorder, but as of now, the only effective way to treat people with it is by spinal tap. Nobody wants a spinal tap, especially people who are depressed and suicidal.
Because of recent breakthroughs in nanoparticle delivery systems, the nose might be a viable entry point, which is why the Army has offered the funding (a pittance by US military standards) to Indiana's Dr. Michael Kubek to try and help the process along. If the spray works, it would be the most convenient and fast-acting antidepressant delivery mechanism out there.
Medical director for the National Alliance on Mental Illness, Dr. Ken Duckworth, sees promise in the concept. He told The Daily:
"This is a brilliant idea. It would solve one of the biggest problems we have with medication used today. It might work, but it doesn't work fast enough. ...The nasal spray would stabilize them right away, while they wait for the [antidepressants] to do their job."
If you can't stop soldiers (or civilians) from having suicidal urges in the first place, giving them an easy way to deal with them is the next best solution. Taking a little mist up the nose seems way better than doing yourself in. [The Daily via Business Insider]

North Star Elementary overcrowding could force kids to new school
Dozens of children at overcrowded North Star Elementary School will have to be moved to another school, Albuquerque Public Schools officials said.
APS officials discussed the issue with the school's Parent Teacher Association at a closed-doors meeting Tuesday.
Several parents at the school said they are upset
At least 50 families will be getting a call from APS in the next two days telling them that their children will have to change schools, officials said.
The children affected by the redistricting plan are expected to be moved to nearby Double Eagle Elementary, Brad Winter with APS said.
"We're going to take the next 48 hours to call these folks so that they know that there is a proposed boundary adjustment," Winter said.
APS will not announce the exact boundary changes until the impacted families are informed.
Concerned parents said they were upset that they were no allowed into the meeting to discuss the change.
"Now we're being told that these are administrative boundary changes and that we have no voice," parent Leah Rice said.
Rice said that North Star is admittedly overcrowded, but that she feels that Double Eagle is not much better. She said they only have room in portable classrooms.
"Yeah, that's why I spent hundreds of thousands of dollars for a home so that I could have my child go to a school in barracks. That's not what I want," Rice said.
The next public meeting is March 28.
APS officials said they will disclose the location on their website in the next coming days.
The APS School Board will vote on the boundary changes later this spring after the public meetings.

Industry number-crunchers RL Polk released the latest vehicle registration data on year-to-date new cars excluding fleet sales, and it's not a good number if you're an automaker from Metro Detroit. Through the month of May, 52.9% of new vehicles registered by purchasers were import brands, up from 49% a year earlier. Retail registrations of domestics totaled 2,554,636 through May, down 7.2% compared with numbers YTD in 2005. On the import side, registrations were up 8.2% to 2,864,409. If the trend holds, it'll be the first year import brands generate the majority of new retail sales. Although this is something everyone knew was coming and really doesn't mean a helluva lot — it's sure to be at least a psychological blow to the big three classic domestic automakers. It'll probably also mean a lot to early morning show pundits and the like who'll now be shouting from the rooftops that the sky is falling — despite the fact it already fell. [Hat tip to Jeffrey!]

Charges issued in L. Brooks Patterson crash in Auburn Hills
The Oakland County Prosecutor's Office has announced charges against a 31-year-old Royal Oak man who was involved in the crash that seriously injured Oakland County Executive L. Brooks Patterson earlier this month.
Anthony Prainito is charged with three counts of moving violation causing serious impairment of a bodily function in connection with the Aug. 10 crash at the intersection of Walton and Opdyke in Auburn Hills.
A $50,000 personal bond was set for Prainito during arraignment in front of 52-3 District Judge Lisa Asadoorian on Wednesday afternoon, meaning he is not required to post any money at this time. He is cooperating with police.
A not guilty plea was entered on Prainito's behalf.
Prainito had a reckless driving charge approximately two years ago, but has no current cases pending and is not on probation, according to his attorney, Joshua Nucian.
Asadoorian ruled that Prainito must surrender his driver's license within 24 hours.
"You're not driving at all," she said.
He will also be tested for drugs and alcohol, though Nucian pointed out that drugs and alcohol were not factors in the crash.
Prainito -- an employee of CBS Radio -- must maintain full-time employment.
"They're fully supportive in this matter," Nucian said of Prainito's employers.
"He's going back to work tomorrow morning."
Prainito is scheduled to appear in front of Asadoorian for a pre-trial at 3 p.m. Sept. 25.
Each misdemeanor offense is punishable by up to 93 days in jail and/or a $500 fine.
Patterson and his driver and security officer, James Cram, were both seriously injured in the collision.
"The Executive Office thanks Auburn Hills police for their professionalism in conducting a thorough investigation. This matter is now in the hands of the courts," Chief Deputy County Executive Gerald Poisson stated via press release.
Patterson, Cram and Prainito were not wearing seat belts at the time of the accident. Prainito has been cited for not wearing a seat belt, but Auburn Hills police are waiting to determine whether Patterson and Cram will be cited.
"Because of the nature of their injuries and the conditions they're in right now, we want to wait for them to show some improvement (before determining whether they will be cited)," Auburn Hills Police Lt. Ryan Gagnon said.
The Auburn Hills Police Department is the only department with jurisdiction to issue citations on seat belt charges in this case, according to the Prosecutor's Office.
Raymond Recchia, who was wearing a seat belt, was also seriously injured in the crash. He was a passenger in Prainito's vehicle.
Patterson, 73, and Cram, 60, were injured around 4 p.m. Aug. 10 when their Chrysler 300, which was eastbound on Walton Boulevard, struck Prainito's Volkswagen Passat, which was turning left onto southbound Opdyke.
Patterson suffered injuries to his wrists, leg and hip. He remains hospitalized, as does Cram.

Water quality report card gives Baltimore Harbor a failing grade
Trash, bacteria and nutrient pollution continued to plague Baltimore Harbor in 2011.
by Catherine Krikstan
November 08, 2012
Impaired by trash, rated poor for nutrient pollution and listed as unsafe for human contact much of the time, Baltimore Harbor scored a failing grade on its most recent Healthy Harbor Report Card.

While community engagement in conservation is on the rise—volunteers have planted trees, picked up trash and even painted murals around storm drains to make a connection between streets and streams—algae blooms, dead zones and fish kills remain a problem for the urban watershed.
According to the Healthy Harbor Report Card, water quality in Baltimore Harbor did not improve in 2011, when spring and fall rains pushed pollutants into the water.
From a spring shower to a fall hurricane, the flow of pollutants into Baltimore Harbor is closely tied to regional rainfall. The amount of litter collected in the Harbor in 2011, for instance, spiked when water flow was at its highest after Tropical Storm Lee. Sewage overflows, too, were linked to large storms, when rainwater seeped into sewer pipes and pushed harmful bacteria into the Harbor.

To combat these problems, the non-profits behind the Healthy Harbor Report Card have engaged students and citizens in a mission to make the Harbor swimmable and fishable within the next decade. Blue Water Baltimore, for instance, has curbed stormwater runoff on school grounds and helped Clean Water Communities develop plans for cleaning and greening their neighborhoods. And the Waterfront Partnership of Baltimore has published a Healthy Harbor Plan to provide Baltimoreans with a roadmap for Harbor clean-up.

Gabrielle Hamilton's, Blood, Bones & Butter is probably the most talked about food memoir since Julie Powell's last memoir, Cleaving. Hamilton is the chef/owner of a Manhattan restaurant, and her book gets some major foodie street cred by carrying a hyperbolic Anthony Bourdain quote: "Magnificent. Simply the best memoir by a chef ever. Ever."
Bourdain's quote might lead to assumptions that Hamilton's account is similar to Kitchen Confidential, but that couldn't be further from the truth. In fact, while it is a memoir of a chef and her cooking is omnipresent, it isn't really about food or restaurant work the way that Bourdain's book was. In Kitchen Confidential, restaurant life took center stage and food was a prominent part of the story. In Blood, Bones & Butter, those elements serve as vehicles by which Hamilton conveys her life story.
In some ways, nothing in Hamilton's story is that interesting or surprising. She had some rough patches, no doubt, but nothing out of the ordinary. The thing that keeps you drawn in is a compelling narrative style. She's a story teller and she weaves the stories through the different periods of her life, catches up with themes when you aren't expecting them, is emotional without being maudlin, and is able to present something interesting by way of that style. A chapter which begins with a description of a particular ravioli made for her by her husband when he was first courting her then wanders into other stories and only at the end do you understand that the ravioli is a metaphor for Hamilton's troubled marriage.
And unlike Julie Powell's most recent memoir, Hamilton's use of food and restaurant work to tell the story doesn't seem contrived or forced. It's part of her life and she relays it as such.
In the end Blood, Bones & Butter is a good read, but maybe not so much a food read.

MOSCOW -- Russia's President Vladimir Putin vowed Wednesday to strengthen the country's economy and its military might and rejected what he described as foreign lecturing about democracy and attempts at foreign interference in the nation's internal affairs.
Putin's speech was his first state-of-the nation address since winning a third term in March's election despite a wave of massive protests in Moscow. Putin has taken a tough course on dissent since his inauguration with arrests and searches of opposition activists and introduction of laws that impose heavy fines on protesters and rigid rules on civil society groups.
In a speech that focused heavily on social issues, Putin encouraged families to have more children, promised to create 25 million new jobs and develop new incentives for teachers, doctors, engineers and others.
He also pledged to support "institutions that represent traditional spiritual values," a hint at even more state support for the Russian Orthodox Church. In August, three members of the punk band Pussy Riot were sentenced to two years in prison for performing a protest song in Moscow's main cathedral against the church's backing for Putin. One of them was released on appeal, but two others are serving their sentences despite an international outrage over what was widely seen as the intolerance to dissent in Russia.
Putin said Russia would follow its own view on democracy and shrug off any "standards enforced on us from outside."
"Direct or indirect foreign interference in our political processes is inadmissible," he said. "Those who receive money from abroad for their political activities and serve alien interests shouldn't engage in politics in Russia."
One of the laws passed by the Kremlin-controlled parliament requires non-governmental organizations that receive foreign funding and engage in vaguely defined political activities to register as "foreign agents," a move the groups said was aimed to intimidate them and destroy their credibility before the Russians where the term "agent" is synonymous to spy.
Putin said that on the global stage Russia's task will be to preserve its "national and spiritual identity," adding that the strengthening of the nation's military might should "guarantee its independence and security."
He said Russia would continue to push for "coordinated collective efforts" in dealing with global issues.
The Kremlin has said that its continuous refusal to support international sanctions against Syria's President Bashar Assad is rooted in international law that bars interference into a sovereign country's affairs.
The conflict in Syria has started nearly 21 months ago as an uprising against Assad, whose family has ruled the country for four decades and it quickly morphed into a civil war, with rebels taking up arms to fight back against a bloody crackdown by the government. According to activists, more than 40,000 people have been killed since March 2011.
Putin sought to boost patriotic feelings by promising to honor heroes of World War I and restoring the historic names of old imperial regiments of the Russian army.
He also made new promises to boost the fight against corruption.
Russia is considered to be one of the most corrupt countries in the world. A group that tracks global perception of the problem ranks Russia 143rd out of 183 countries.
"A sustained and visible effort to reduce corruption is one of the catalysts that could cut the current high risk premium investors apply to Russian equities," Chris Weafer, chief strategist at Sberbank CIB investment bank said in a note to investors earlier this week
Putin called for sanctioning officials who own foreign stocks or banks accounts abroad, and said they will have to explain the source of financing for big purchases including real estate abroad.
His statements would play well with the domestic audience, which has relished in the recent ouster of Defense Minister Anatoly Serdyukov over a military corruption scandal and investigations against other officials suspected of graft. Still, Gleb Pavlovsky, a political analyst and former Kremlin political strategist told the Intefax news agency that "Putin had failed to send a message of purging the high ranks."
The opposition ridiculed Putin's statements as lacking substance and novelty. "Everything will be fine soon, I promise," opposition activist Alexei Navalny wrote sarcastically while summing up Putin's address.
Putin repeated pledges to reduce the nation's reliance on exports of oil and other mineral resources and encourage the development of high-tech industries. He also lamented a huge capital outflow and Russian companies moving abroad to avoid the uncertainties of Russian laws and courts.
Russian authorities are expecting capital outflows of up to $65 billion this year. Putin quoted analyst estimates that 9 out of 10 major deals of Russian companies are registered abroad to be governed by foreign laws. He urged the government to seek more information on Russian companies from offshore nations where they are registered.

Vox Populi: October Rain
I opened my front door this dark morning to a chilly gust of autumn air spitting rain in my face. "Don't make a habit of this, Justice Kagan," I thought to myself.
Mother Nature has not seemed to take kindly to Elena Kagan's milestones. On the day of her confirmation vote, a ferocious thunderstorm crashed through Capitol Hill in the time the Senate took to open and close its voting. Now, on the heels of Washington's first glorious fall weekend, rainclouds insist on overseeing the entirety of Kagan's debut week on the bench.
But Mother Nature is not the newest justice's final arbiter. As the dreary day broke on One First Street this morning, scores of umbrellas shielded men and women waiting for their opportunity to give Justice Kagan a more hospitable welcome than the elements afforded.
Of all those who showed up to witness the new justice's historic first day of court, however, one man stood out.
"You've got to meet Graham," said Ryan Malphurs, who arrived shortly before 4am. A newly-minted Ph.D. in Communications, Malphurs has attended around 60 oral arguments since 2006, traveling from Texas each time, to conduct research for his dissertation on the justices' power of persuasion at oral argument. Back again to continue his work as he expands his dissertation into a book, Malphurs introduces his friend.
Graham Blackman-Harris, 44, is the ultimate Court-watcher. Hailing from Jersey City, NJ, he made his first trip to the Court in 1990.
"I wanted to see Thurgood Marshall on the bench before he retired," says Blackman-Harris of his first in-person encounter with the Court. "He looked like a giant."
Since then, he's made all but two First Mondays in October.
Forget doctoral students, forget stunt-bloggers, forget lawyers: Blackman-Harris truly embodies the civic passion so evident among the Court's most ardent followers. A FedEx Operations Manager and self-professed C-SPAN junkie, he cites 1998's Clinton v. City of New York as his favorite case because he had followed its issue—the constitutionality of the line-item veto—since the bill's birth in the Senate.
"I've read the Constitution a bajillion times," he says with a laugh. "I love it. Even the three-fifths part"—referring to the infamous clause writing slavery into the founding document—"because the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments corrected it."
After his first trip to the Court, Blackman-Harris began his First Monday tradition in 1991 with the intention of seeing Justice Clarence Thomas's debut. The Anita Hill allegations, however, served to delay the Senate's confirmation of Thomas until mid-October. He has been luckier in later years, witnessing Justices Ginsburg, Breyer, Sotomayor, Kagan, and Chief Justice Roberts all make their first appearances.
Still, Justice Thomas occupies a large swath of Blackman-Harris's highlight reel.
A year after Thomas joined the Court, the justice continued to face antagonism in the press. Blackman-Harris, who, like Thomas, grew up quite close to his grandfather, wrote the justice a letter telling him to "keep his chin up."
Thomas wrote back with a personal thank you note. Since then, Blackman-Harris has written every other justice but never received anything more than a form letter in return.
"I don't believe in a lot of the things Justice Thomas believes in," says Blackman-Harris, "but I didn't think it was fair" for the justice to get attacked for his conservative jurisprudence. "The Constitution, that sweet document, entitles [Thomas] to his beliefs."
And Blackman-Harris can count himself among the few lucky members of the public to have seen with his own eyes one of the few moments that Justice Thomas has expressed his beliefs in the form of a question during oral argument.
"The whole courtroom just went quiet," he remembers. That's saying something for a place where library-silence is always maintained.
Indeed, he wishes that all Americans could witness moments like that. To back up his belief, he has written additional rounds of letters to the justices urging them to televise their proceedings.
But it should be apparent by now that for Blackman-Harris, C-SPAN's "America and the Courts" is simply not enough. This year, he showed up on a crutch, hobbled by hip problems. "I was going to crawl if I had to," he says.
His commitment to his visits for First Mondays and landmark arguments runs deeper than mere interest. For this man from Jersey, it's personal. "This is my Court!" he exclaims as we enter the building.
Graham Blackman-Harris, in his deep devotion to the American idea, proves how inconsequential everyday setbacks like injury or inclement weather really are to the success of the American spirit. From the Founders scrapping the Articles of Confederation for the Constitution during a stiflingly hot Philadelphia summer to our first African-American President's inauguration on a frostbitten Washington winter morning, we and our leaders push forward against the elements into each new chapter in our country's history.
And judging by Justice Kagan's performance today—poised, comfortable, and perfectly fluid in a bankruptcy case, no less—she and her audience need not regard a trifling turn in the weather as a bad omen for her decades of service to come.

GBH sounds like a real patriot–thanks for the inspiring description! Looking forward to hearing more about the new justice and how you see her fitting in.
As to Kagan — wow! A law professor handles high status Q&A well. So impressive!
Not. The person you profiled is. Thanks for that.
Met Graham yesterday, it was probably the highlight of my court-watching day. It made me think about some of the people who used to skip/not take seriously my Con Law class, and what a shame it was that they lacked the enthusiasm that a guy like Graham had.
[…] I met Ryan on the Supreme Court sidewalk before the first day of the term, where he gave me a preview of this study as we paced in front of the Court trying to keep warm. He stayed in line for the rest of that first week and later, in a post for F1@1F, reflected on his night with the crowd for Snyder v. Phelps. […]

We Were Hanging by a Thread - Ann Brownfield
Though far from the fashion center of New York, Kansas City once boasted a large, vibrant garment manufacturing industry. During its heyday in the early-to-mid twentieth century more than 4,000 workers were engaged in the business, and one in seven American women owned a garment designed and made in Kansas City.
Ann Brownfield, curator of the Kansas City Garment District Museum, examines this important piece of local industry in a discussion of her new book We Were Hanging by a Thread.

From WikiFur, the furry encyclopedia.
(Redirected from HelpStaff)
Helpstaff, also known as a Staff member or just Staff, are considered, in the context of the furry fandom, both MU*'s and furry convention helpers.
MU* staff[edit]
MU*' staff usually haven't got the powers of a wizard, but they can often be knowledgeable and helpful. They generally act as information sources and teachers, though on role-playing (RP) MU*'s, some may also act in the capacity of GMs.
Some possible special abilities which helpstaff may enjoy include:
- Character creation
- Allowing guests to leave specially confined areas
- Communication via staff-specific channels in various chat programs
- Special item creation (usually "statted" items used in RP) or extra point awards
- License to judge some or all role-playing scenes which may occur on the MU*
These abilities and others are typically privileges, not always granted to a particular staffer, and not always even available to be granted.

OMAHA, July 16 (UPI) -- Only two of Nebraska's delegates to the Republican National Convention committed to Ron Paul, meaning he has no guaranteed speaking role at the gathering.
While the libertarian Texas congressman picked up two delegates, presumptive GOP presidential nominee Romney won the other 33 delegates during the state party's convention during the weekend, the Omaha World-Herald reported.
"We did it the Nebraska way. In Nebraska, we can have our disagreements but, at the end of the day, we work together," said Mark Fahleson, state GOP chairman.
It also means Gov. Dave Heineman saved face after being the first governor to endorse Romney.
"He was personally invested," Fahleson said of the governor.
Heineman maintained he wanted the state's delegation to accurately represent Nebraska Republicans, who gave Romney more than 70 percent of their votes in the state's presidential primary.
Paul previously announced he would no longer aggressively campaign nationally, working instead on the state level. He needed to win a majority of delegates in five states to be given a 15-minute speaking slot in Tampa at the end of August. He won majorities in four states and needed a win in Nebraska, the last state to apportion delegates to the convention.

This includes promoting such software in teaching, research, and commercial applications, and maintaining webpages and user and developer communities.
Additionally, the ISC holds copyrights on open-source tools, including the Insight Toolkit (ITK), the Image Guided Surgery Toolkit (IGSTK), and a joint copyright with Kitware Inc. on the cross-platform build tool CMake. By holding the copyright of these open-source software tools the ISC cultivates an intellectual commons where knowledge and technology are efficiently shared across academia, industry and government, therefore promoting the progress of science and technology.
In 1999, the United States National Library of Medicine of the National Institutes of Health awarded a three-year contract to develop an open-source registration and segmentation toolkit, which came to be known as the Insight Toolkit (ITK). ITK's NLM Project Manager was Dr. Terry Yoo, who coordinated the six prime contractors who developed the toolkit. In 2004, the individual ITK developers incorporated the Insight Software Consortium (ISC), and the ITK toolkit copyrights were transferred to the ISC.
The original ITK developer contractors included three commercial partners: GE Corporate R&D, Kitware Inc., and MathSoft (now known as Insightful); and three academic partners: University of North Carolina (UNC), University of Tennessee (UT), and University of Pennsylvania (UPenn).
The Principal Investigators for these partners were, respectively, Bill Lorensen at GE CRD, Will Schroeder at Kitware, Vikram Chalana at Insightful, Stephen Aylward with Luis Ibáñez at UNC (they are both now at Kitware), Ross Whitaker with Josh Cates at UT (both now at Utah), and Dimitri Metaxas at UPenn. Additionally, several subcontractors rounded out the consortium including Peter Raitu at Brigham & Women's Hospital; Celina Imielinska and Pat Molholt at Columbia University; Jim Gee at UPenn's Grasp Lab; and George Stetten at University of Pittsburgh.

SKF saves heavy plate mill96 000 euro annually
The challenge
During the course of a plant modernization project, a single-stand, heavy plate steel mill was experiencing a huge drop in work roll bearing service life. In an effort to uncover the cause of the problem and increase work roll system reliability, the mill turned to SKF.
The SKF Solution
After an extensive failure analysis, SKF engineers determined that the heavy loads and slow speeds involved in the mill's thermo-mechanical rolling process were too great a burden for the standard grease being used. The SKF solution involved a combination of SKF LGEV 2 bearing grease and Explorer sealed, four-row tapered roller bearings.
The results
Over a year later, SKF sealed, four-row tapered roller bearings have delivered three times the service life of the previous bearings, allowing the mill to save €80 000 on bearing replacement costs. The SKF solution also cut annual grease consumption more than tenfold, allowing the mill to save €6 000 on purchasing costs, plus €10 000 on grease disposal costs. So far, SKF has helped the mill save a total of €96 000.

Women have been down for snowboarding since day one. In fact, Sherman Poppen invented the Snurfer (the 1960s forerunner to the modern snowboard) for his daughter to ride. However, ladies haven't always had the same choices men do when it comes to snowboard equipment-that is, until now. Excitingly enough, snowboard companies have finally taken notice of the female snowboard contingent and are building gear specifically for women, taking into account everything from her weight and foot size to her sense of style.
What Does "Women's Specific" Mean?
So what makes a women's board, well, a women's board? The simple answer is waist, width, and flex pattern. For the most part, women have smaller feet and frames than men, so a narrower board keeps everything to scale, ensuring optimum steering power and control over your edge. The flex pattern (meaning how easy it is to bend the board and make it turn) is also specifically designed around the proportions of a lady rider, who's usually lighter-weight and needs her board to be a bit softer in order to flex it and get it up on edge.
Length is also a factor. A snowboard should reach to about a rider's chin, so women's boards tend to be a bit shorter to accommodate the average female height. Of course, riding steep mountains or deep powder requires a longer, stiffer board and such women's specific freeride models are also available.
Graphics are undeniably important to a board's appeal, and because women are naturally attuned to style, companies have definitely had to get with it graphics-wise. Most brands employ talented designers (many of them women themselves) who know exactly what appeals to snowboarding's feminine side, from colors to designs to treatments.
The Perfect Connection
Just as boards are being made specifically for women's smaller frame and foot size, so are boots and bindings designed for their narrower heels and different leg shape. Women's boots are typically lighter and narrower than men's versions. It's impossible to rip when your feet are sloshing around, so these narrower boots keep the heels firmly in place for ultra-responsive turning power. Also, shorter and wider ankle cuffs accommodate the female calf muscle, which attaches lower on the leg than a man's. Bet you didn't know that, did you?
Your boot should not move once it's in the binding, so ladies' bindings come in smaller sizes to create a super snug boot-binding fit. Today's bindings also offer complete adjustability from side to side, in the heelcup, and with the amount of forward lean. It might take a little while to get your binding perfectly dialed, but it'll be worth it when you do.
Just like in nature, every piece of your snowboard setup is connected. Equipment compatibility is extremely important. If your boot doesn't jive with your binding, or your binding baseplate won't work with your board's hole pattern, then it's game-off. Make sure everything works together before you leave the store.Content courtesy of SnowSports Industries America | SIA and snowlink.com.

|Moral :
|When he orders the Enterprise-D to divert to Dytallix B, Riker asks Picard if they should let Pacifica know they will be late, and Picard says "Negative. Nothing goes out without specific orders from me." A few (screen) minutes later, they arrive and find three other starships in orbit. Worf says "Attempts at communication have been ignored by all three vessels." So... why has Worf made attempts to communicate with the three ships when Picard has already expressly stated that they are to send no messages out to anybody without his specific orders? Bad Worf!
These alien parasites make you immune to phasers by flooding your body with adrenaline. How does adrenaline stop you getting a hole drilled in your chest?
I have to say, it's so common in science fiction that it's practically a cliche, but why the hell does killing the queen alien kill all the others? Even assuming some sort of telepathic link between them that made such a thing even possible, can you imagine such a bizzare weakness evolving in a species in the first place? Admittedly given the non-canon explanation for the creature's origins this becomes a bit more plausible, but taking the episode at face value it is a serious weak spot, an obvious way to try and wrap up the whole conspiracy in a line or two of dialogue.
|Great Moment :
|Remmick's death, amazingly gory for Star Trek!
|Body Count :
|The crew of the USS Horatio, plus Remmick and the slug inside him and the other little parasites.
|Factoid :
|This is the first episode that Picard ever orders "tea, earl grey, hot"!
When first shown in the UK, the gory death of Remmick was cut. This is one of only two episodes ever censored by the BBC (the other being a deleted reference to the reunification of Ireland in "The High Ground")
The "Star Trek : The Next Generation Companion" states that the homing signal would bring the Borg to Federation space. At this stage the Borg were an insect race who used the parasites as their first wave. The idea was dropped for budgetary reasons.
The Deep Space Nine novel "Worlds of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Volume 2, Trill & Bajor" reveals that the alien parasites are genetically modified versions of the Trill symbionts! A deadly plague had been destroying the symbionts, and experiments were made to try and find a cure. The modifications created symbionts who were violent and xenophobic.
Picard decides to return to Earth itself. On arrival the ship is contacted by Starfleet command and Picard is invited down to discuss his concerns with several Admirals. His old friend Admiral Quinn cannot attend the dinner but asks if he can have a tour of the Enterprise, a request Picard grants. When he arrives Picard questions him about the mysterious threat to the Federation Quinn referred to the last time they spoke but the Admiral brushes it off, claimind he only meant the problem of intergrating new members as they joined. Realising that this is some sort of impostor, Picard tells Riker to keep an eye on him after he beams down.
In his guest quarters Quinn shows Riker an small alien life form he has brought with him, claiming it is a totally superior form of life. He attacks Riker, stunning the First Officer with his amazing strength. Quinn tries to fight his way past security when they arrive, and is almost successful - but is disabled by repeated phaser blasts from Crusher. In sickbay she examines him and finds a small appendage sticking out of the back of his neck.
At Starfleet the Admirals try to convince Picard that there is no great conspiracy, but he is able to contact the ship and Crusher reveals that Quinn has been infested with some sort of parasite. She tells him that stun has little effect on the affected people, and he must set his phaser to kill instead of stun. Picard, however, is unarmed. When he goes in to dinner he is disgusted to find that the food is living worms and realises that everybody there is infected. Riker arrives, having apparently been infected by the parasites. As the Admirals congratulate themselves on gaining control of the Enterprise Riker pulls a phaser and starts shooting; he was only pretending to be infested. Picard and Riker chase one of the parasites into a room where they find Dexter Remmick sitting. He swallows the parasite calmly, asking Picard and Riker if they have a problem. They fire on him, blasting half of his body away and revealing a "queen" parasite inside. Disgusted at the creature, they destroy it with another blast.
The death of the queen kills all the other parasites, freeing the infested officers and ending the conspiracy. However, analysis reveals that Remmick sent a signal before his death - a homing beacon, directed out into space far beyond the Federation...
It's nice to see the Enterprise back at Earth, though it seems to get there awfully fast. True no timeframe is given and for all we know it took weeks or months for the trip, but it sure doesn't seem like that's the case.
Overall, a pretty decent episode but nothing spectacular.

Review of Elana Amsterdam's Gluten-free Cupcake Cookbook
First, let me just say that I think I should rename the House of Yum the House of Cupcakes after the last few weeks. I went from having cupcakes once or twice a year to having them three times in half as many weeks. And you know what? I like cupcakes! I do! I never had heart palpitations over cake, except for our wedding cake -swoon- but something about a cupcake really appeals to me. Maybe it is the serving size- so cute, so demure, and yet so satisfying. Maybe it is the fact that you can dress it up in a little holder with hearts or silver or- ooh- even silver hearts. But maybe, just maybe it is the frosting. The fact that you can cover the entire top with an absurdly huge frosting dome and it is yours! All yours! Try doing that with a cake. Not only will the physics cause you some serious issues, but cutting it will be a big, gooey mess. Give me a cupcake any day. This is why when I heard that Elana Amsterdam of Elana's Pantry was coming out with a new gluten-free cupcake cookbook I was beside myself with excitement. And then I got my very own review copy- plus one for a giveaway. Wheeee! Sometimes being a food blogger has its perks. In this cookbook, Elana adds a new gluten-free, low carb flour to her repertoire- coconut flour. I have experimented a little with coconut flour myself, and it can be a tricky flour to love. It eats eggs like nobody's business and has this personality that just doesn't work well with savory. Elana has somehow whipped coconut flour into shape and made it work for her in this cookbook. Really impressive. Now, if you have a sensitivity to coconut flour and are curious- 11 of the main cupcake recipes do not contain coconut flour. About half of those recipes are savory (yum yum, such a nice surprise), and then most of the frostings are coconut free. Still- probably not an ideal for the coconut-allergic reader. Almond flour is also featured in many (but not all) of the recipes, for your information. Time to re-order from Honeyville! And Elana still uses agave nectar in most of her recipes, although she has yacon syrup in a few as an alternative sweetener (Pecan Pie Cupcakes and Gingerbread Molasses Cupcakes). This woman keeps me busy ordering from Amazon. But I know what you really want to know- how were the cupcakes?
Elana's Lime Cupcakes
The hardest thing about this book is actually only picking one recipe to try. They all sound so good. Read the titles when you aren't hungry sometime- vanilla fig, apple spice, cinnamon crumb, german chocolate. You will be hungry by the time you're finished flipping through this little book. I finally gave up on picking one- I handed the book to the DH and said "You pick it, I'll make it." So he picked Elana's lime cupcakes, which was a pleasant surprise. Of all the recipes I tried, this one was my favorite. It was deceptively simple but flavorful and fresh with the tanginess of lime and only the barest whisper of coconut. We didn't actually try her suggested frosting accompaniment- the DH whipped up a zesty lime cream cheese frosting that made us both very happy. This recipe has great texture, subtle but wonderful flavor, and I will definitely be making it again. Oh, one quirk that you might want to know- the recipes don't exactly conform to a 12 muffin pan. Recipes tend to make between 8-12 cupcakes. If baking for a large family, you might want to double the recipe. Oh, darn, more cupcakes! I'm sure no one will object.
Strawberry Cupcakes
I made Elana's strawberry cupcakes for a gluten-free South Bay Area potluck, and frosted them with a coconut cream whipped frosting garnished with freshly sliced strawberries. I have to admit I went a little rogue- what is it with me improvising my own frostings? I really should try one of her frosting recipes, too… But anyway, these cupcakes were a big hit, especially when people found out they were both nut and dairy-free. My good friend JM declared them "wicked good" and liked the delicate, complex flavors. The DH and I both liked them, although I think I would have tried Cream cheese frosting next time. What can I say, we are addicted to the stuff. Recipe for Strawberry Cupcakes found on Elana's blog.
Chocolate Peanut Butter Cupcakes
Elana's recipe for Chocolate Peanut Butter Cupcakes had me at "Chocolate Peanut Butter" and I couldn't resist taking them to our local potluck. The DH thoroughly enjoyed them and said I could make them "any time" and that if he hadn't known they were gluten-free, he wouldn't have thought they were anything but a regular cupcake. High praise indeed! My chocoholic friend JM surprised herself (and me too) by saying she liked the strawberry cupcakes best. Fine with me. She can have the strawberry cupcake leftovers if I get to keep every single lime cupcake to my greedy self…and I think the DH would be happy to hog more than his fair share of the chocolate! Just goes to show that there is a recipe for everyone in this book.
I was very happy to get permission to share the lime cupcakes with you here. I hope you enjoy them, and enjoy Elana's cookbooks as much as I do. I've been baking gluten-free my entire life, and I'm used to shuffling canisters of gluten-free flours out of the pantry, but baking from her books is like taking a vacation from being gluten-free. Just one (or at most two) flours and basic, whole ingredients, and you have a great tasting, quality recipe. If I hadn't made her recipes myself, I'm not sure I'd believe it.
You'll need these ingredients… especially if you win the extra copy of Elana's book I'll be giving away on Facebook at the Book of Yum Page!

1/2 cup coconut flour
Preheat the oven to 350�F. Line 10 muffin cups with paper liners.
In a large bowl, combine the coconut flour, almond flour, salt, and baking soda.
Scoop 1/4 cup of batter into each prepared muffin cup.
Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached. Let the cupcakes cool in the pan for 1 hour, then frost, sprinkle with the remaining lime zest, and serve.

Cream Cheese Lime Frosting
1 package lowfat cream cheese (for dairy free, you can try Tofutti Better than Cream Cheese)
1/2 to 1 cup powdered sugar (*start with 1/4 cup and keep adding to taste)
1/2 tsp. vanilla
one half of a small lime, juiced (or less, to taste)
1/2 tsp lime zest
Put your cream cheese in a microwave safe bowl and microwave briefly until soft enough to stir. Add vanilla and begin adding powdered sugar to taste, whipping together with a standing or hand-held mixer. Add a dash of lime juice and your lime zest to the mixer and combine thoroughly. Taste and add more if needed. It will be too soft and runny for frosting at this point, so put in a freezer safe ziploc bag and chill in refrigerator until it is thick enough to frost with (at least 30 minutes).

From learning to better understand biblical truth; to living that truth in every way, every day; to giving others that same opportunity.
Our ministry has two pillars: Bible-based higher education, including the acclaimed Moody Bible Institute; and media content, which encompasses global radio network Moody Radio and influential publishing house, Moody Publishers—home to many of Christianity's most trusted authors and titles.
At Moody, we help you bring God's wisdom from the Word to Life.
We'll teach you to better know and understand Scripture, no matter where you are in the world or in your walk with Christ. Our many resources help you dig into the Word and recognize its implications for your life.
The church is growing worldwide at an estimated rate of 50,000 people a day—creating a need for 1,000 new biblically and theologically trained pastors a day. A team of leaders from Moody Bible Institute recently joined 3,000 theological educators at the Global Proclamation Congress for Pastoral Trainers in Bangkok, Thailand. The congress encouraged educators to train more pastors for the growing global church.
Moody resources prepare and inspire you to put the Word into action: feeding the hungry, tending the sick and spreading the good news. Through our conferences, books, radio programs and web content, you'll discover fresh, fruitful ways to better live out your faith.
Take Moody Radio with you on your tablet or mobile device. Download our new app today and listen to your local Moody Radio station, stream programs live and on-demand, and enjoy a variety of Christian music. With programming available in both English and Spanish, you can hear Moody radio whenever and wherever you'd like.
Much of our work is funded by the generosity of people who believe in it. Because of you, a young missionary can study tuition-free; a widow can find comfort in a daily devotion; and a man who's given up on God can learn—from a voice on the radio—that God hasn't given up on him.
It's vital work, and you make it possible. Click GIVE to get started.
