Here are just a few of the many ways Broward County veterans have benefited from the assistance of Broward County's Veterans Services and their team of trained professionals.
100-Year-Old Veteran Remains in Own HomeMr. J was unable to pay for 24-hour, in-home care that would allow him to remain in his own home. He was facing the prospect of placement in a nursing home when a Broward County Veterans Service Officer facilitated full benefits, including an $18,000 retroactive payment, within 40 days of his application. Today, Mr. J is happy and thriving in his own home.
Vietnam War Veteran Gets DisabilityDue to his worsening condition, John was unable to work. A Broward County Veterans Service Officer assisted him in obtaining 100 percent permanent disability benefits, 100 percent property tax exemption, medical care and insurance, along with educational benefits for John, his wife and two children.
Veteran Avoids HomelessnessAlbert, a 64-year old Vietnam War Veteran, was facing homelessness after the Veterans Administration requested repayment of $9,472 in alleged overpayments and began garnishing 35 percent of his monthly Social Security/Disability benefits. A Broward County Veterans Service Officer facilitated a waiver of the repayment, restored Albert's monthly Veterans Administration benefit and obtained a monthly increase to that benefit.

Elephant is an object database for Common Lisp. It supports storing CLOS objects and most lisp primitives, and access to BTrees. It uses Sleepycat / Berkeley DB, a widely-distributed embedded database; many unix systems have it installed by default. Sleepycat is server-less, ACID compliant, transactional, process and thread safe, and fast relative to relational databases; hopefully Elephant inherits these properties.
Version 0.9.0 is now released. ASDF install should work but problems have been reported against it.
Version 0.9.1+ will have support for a back-end repository using Postmodern which is about twice as fast the the generic CL-SQL backend.
Elephant has an extensive manual written by Ian Eslick, who has done most of the recent developement.

It's a long way until the season opener on Sept. 12, but with the Eagles reconvening Friday for mandatory minicamp coach Andy Reid will get his first on-field look at the team he and general manager Howie Roseman assembled this off-season.
With the addition of 13 draft picks and 11 other acquisitions, there are a lot of new faces. On Saturday, Reid was asked if he may need to have his new players wear name tags around the NovaCare Complex.
"I'll tell you, it's going to be tough on you [reporters] and it's going to be tough on me, too," Reid said. "We'll get it all done. It'll be a challenge for these guys to make sure that their name stands out. Stand out and show us what they can do."
That goes for a number of the veterans, too. Some may quibble with several of the new additions, but if the Eagles did anything this off-season it was to create competition -- especially on the defensive side of the ball.
There are at least five starting spots on defense and many more roster spots up for grabs. So let the race begin and may the best men win.
Here's how Reid and his assistants might have the depth chart aligned after this past week's draft and heading into minicamp. Bear in mind, this isn't a prediction of how the depth chart should look, but merely a reflection of how I envision the Eagles will list it after this coming weekend:

Topiramate and valproate are seizure medicines that are typically used to control seizures in people who have epilepsy. It is not clear how they work to prevent migraines.
These seizure medicines, when they are taken regularly, may help to prevent migraine headaches.
These medicines can reduce the number of migraines you get each month by more than half. This happened to about 50 out of 100 people who took these medicines to prevent migraines.1
Common side effects of topiramate include:
Topiramate has been linked in some people to a potentially life-threatening condition called metabolic acidosis, which happens when there is too much acid in the blood. Symptoms include fatigue, lack of appetite, and rapid breathing (hyperventilation). If left untreated, metabolic acidosis can lead to death.
In rare cases, topiramate may cause serious side effects, such as:
Side effects from valproate may include:
Uncommon but potentially life-threatening side effects of valproate include:
Antiseizure medicines may increase the risk of suicide and suicidal thoughts. It is not recommend that people stop using these medicines. Instead, people who take seizure medicines should be watched closely for warning signs of suicide. People who take seizure medicines and who are worried about this side effect should talk to a doctor.
See Drug Reference for a full list of side effects. (Drug Reference is not available in all systems.)
Women who take seizure medicines need to talk with their doctors if they are considering becoming pregnant. Seizure medicines may harm a fetus. Valproate is more likely to cause serious birth defects, especially if it is taken during the first 3 months of pregnancy.
Topiramate may make birth control pills less effective. A woman who is taking topiramate may need to use another method of birth control to reduce her chances of becoming pregnant.
If you have had kidney stones, be sure to tell your doctor this before you take topiramate. Using topiramate may increase your risk of having kidney stones again.

Cougar Volleyball Players Share Memories for Dad's Weekend
Nov. 7, 2007
The 2007 Dad's Weekend at Washington State University (Nov. 9-10) is a good time for the Cougar volleyball players to reflect on their dads or any other man who encouraged their participation in sports and helped them achieve being a collegiate student-athlete. Below are some of the players' responses:
Jackie Albright, sophomore, Lake Forest, Calif.
My dad has taught me to work hard at what I do and enjoy what it is that I decide to do. He always wanted me to be the 'ultimate chick' so naturally he encouraged me to play sports, but he always wanted me to play volleyball. Once I started to play volleyball he helped me with the physical game as well as the mental part. I love my dad and I know he is proud of what I have achieved, so I am proud to say I am his daughter.
Kelly Hyder, sophomore, Huntington Beach, Calif.
My dad has coached me since I can remember in little league baseball, soccer, and roller hockey. He was always there to drive me to become a better athlete and teach me what it means to be a team player. He is always there for me when I am feeling down or need someone to talk to. He has constantly been there for everything I've needed and I love knowing he will forever be there.
Brittany Johnson, junior, Phoenix, Ariz.
Throughout my life both of my parents were very influential in my desire and passion to play sports. However, because of my dad's lack of physical mobility today, due to his Multiple Sclerosis, my drive to work hard on the volleyball court and in the weight room continues to rise. I put forth such great efforts to make my father, as well as the rest of my family, proud and to show him that I do not take my gift of athleticism for granted.
Brittany Tillman, freshman, Tacoma, Wash.
My Grandad encouraged my athletic career significantly. Although, he had a funny way of doing so, he was always in my corner, supporting and encouraging me. With all of my experiences with sports, Grandad had something to say. With basketball for example, he would tell me, 'You don't even know how to double dribble,' and 'Do you know how to travel yet?' And of course, young and inexperienced, I would say, 'Yeah, DUH!' He would laugh at my replies, and will not let me live it down to this day. Whether he had something good or `bad' to say, he stayed involved with my sports expo, and I could not ask for anything better.
Maureen Perez, senior, Vancouver, Wash.
Above all else I think my father has instilled in me a never-say-die mentality. My dad was a college athlete and he has given me so much encouragement and words of wisdom along my own path through my journey with volleyball. He has always believed in me and no matter what happens, win or lose, he still loves me for who I am. Without my dad I don't think I would be where I am today, and for that I am forever thankful.
Cassie Robbins, sophomore, Yakima, Wash.
My dad is probably my biggest supporter when it comes to sports. He has always pushed me to be better and has always been involved whether it was making volleyball fan t-shirts for my high school team or standing with our Super Fans and singing the fight song after every match. He has always been cheering my teams on and telling me how proud he is of me.
Kimika Rozier, freshman, Murrieta, Calif.
If I could choose one man that encouraged my athletic career and helped me get here at WSU as a student athlete would be my high school coach. He is a man that has pushed me beyond measure while giving me life-long lessons that I will forever remember. He has been my father-figure in my life and has been that force that has pushed and still is pushing me to be the best athlete and person I can be in life. His words of wisdom will forever ring in my heart as well as his cookies that I love!
Amy Small, junior, Pullman, Wash.
How has my Dad encouraged my athletic career? Very simply - sitting on a bleacher all day long during club volleyball tournaments, driving all over the state of Washington for matches, bringing shoes to practice when I left them at home, big hug and smile when I was down after a loss, and always reminding me the most important thing: 'play hard, have fun.' I love my Dad - he ROCKS.
Stephanie Weishaar, junior, Camas, Wash.
My dad has taught me everything I need to know: how to throw a ball, cast a fishing pole, golf, throw a football with spin, play poker, you name it, he's taught me. He has been my biggest fan and support throughout my athletic career. He gives me the best pep talks and always fires me up. I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for him. Thanks dad, I love you!
Tara West, senior, Perth, Australia
My Dad has always been my biggest supporter. I remember him being at every one of my club matches when I was younger. One year, he even flew over to the other side of Australia to watch me play in the National League final. But this weekend will be the first time that my Dad will be able to see me play volleyball for the WSU. He and my Mum are flying over from Australia to watch me represent the Cougs in the final four home games for the season. I can't wait for them to see me play in Bohler Gym.

McPherson College's football team loses in the final seconds.
For Friends' Cortlin Couture, it was a lineman's dream.
For McPherson College's Bulldogs, it was a kick-in-the-gut nightmare.
In one of the most wild, crazy, zany, goofy, bizarre -- insert your favorite adjective here — endings ever at McPherson Stadium. Couture's 1-yard catch of a tipped pass with 9 seconds left in the game Saturday gave the Falcons an 18-17 snatchaway victory.
The Bulldogs could only watch in stunned disbelief when after about a two-minute consultation of officials, Couture's touchdown was ruled legitimate, because after a pass is tipped at the line of scrimmage, all offensive players are eligible receivers.
The play was actually a cut play for the linemen," Couture said. "We were supposed to dive at the defensive linemen's legs to just get them down. Something happened... I heard the ball being batted and I turned around and jumped up and caught it. I wasn't in the end zone when I caught it, I just fell backwards and I was close enough to get in."
That touchdown came just two plays following a 46-yard rainbow pass from Jayme Bristow to Chris Allen that was caught at the Mac 2 on a play where the Bulldogs' Trea Lott appeared to have made an interception. But because both players had possession when they hit the ground, the tie goes to the offense.
"I think we had the pick when they went to the ground," Mac coach Pete Sterbick said. "And the guy (Allen) ended up getting his hands on it. The tie goes to the offense. We benefited from that earlier in the game. I know the rule and that's what happened. You could hope we could knock it down, but our kid was just trying to make a play."
It was one of the most painful losses in recent Mac history. The defense had played brilliantly all day and needed just one more stop, as Friends — down 17-12 — took possession of the ball as its own 43 with 1:12 left and no timeouts. After two completions, the Falcons made a first down, then had an incompletion and a 14-yard loss when Mac's Chris Barnes came up with a sack of Bristow. But on the next play, Bristow made his heave to Allen, setting the stage for the dramatic ending.
Sterbick concurred with the officials' call on the touchdown, as he had no qualms with the ending that some Mac fans may have seen as controversial.
Until the last 72 seconds, the Mac defense had stoned the Friends offense to just 166 yards and one score.
Mac had led 7-6 at the half, as Jake Snodgrass hooked up with Paul Rotering on a 1-yard TD flip in the first quarter, with Cord Cunningham booting the PAT. Friends' score came in the second quarter on Thomas Hankerson's short plunge, but the PAT was missed.
On its first drive of the second half, Mac went the length of the field and had the ball first-and-goal at the Friends 2. After a no gain and incompletion, Snodgrass saw his pass picked off by Marcus Carter, who ran 100 yards for a touchdown, but the 2-point conversion failed to make it 12-7.
Sterbick was kicking himself after the game for the play call.
"Stupid, stupid call by me," Sterbick said. "That one's all on me. I didn't feel good about running it in because a couple of plays before we missed the cutback and would have scored. But that's on me."
The Bulldogs showed a lot of heart, as they came right back to march 80 yards in seven plays, with Terrance Jones running nine yards to make it 14-12, which is how it stayed until the last series.
The Bulldogs appeared to have sealed the game with three minutes left when Lott picked off a pass and returned it for a touchdown, but a roughing-the-passer penalty near the Friends sideline wiped it out, as it would have put Mac up by double digits.
Sterbick said Mac didn't convert when it had the chances.
"Offensively if we don't shoot ourselves in the foot, that's a totally different game," he said. "Not to take credit from them, but I'd rather them stop us and not us getting penalties."
Both defenses were terrific. Mac had 292 total yards, with Snodgrass throwing for 176. The Falcons managed just 223 and less than three yards a play.
"I've been part of some crazy ones over the years," Friends coach Monty Lewis said. "Seen a lot of crazy stuff happen at the end. I knew that sooner or later we'd catch a break. But I commend Mac. They've got a tremendous defense. I thought we'd be a little better on offense, but they flat took it to us."
The Bulldogs, now 2-1 in the KCAC and 2-2 overall, must regroup as they play Saturday at Bethel, which is winless on the year.
"We have to find out what we're made of," Sterbick said. "We're going to find out what kind of character we have and whether we can bounce back from a tough loss. We have to realize we have only one loss in the league and we're still in this thing."

District Attorney
10810 Justice Center Drive, Suite 240
916 543-8000
Jeff Wilson
Assistant District Attorney
Lee Martin Konnerth age 37 of Colfax, pled guilty to two counts of Second Degree Murder and several related charges in connection with the murder of Sarah Lynn Burr and their unborn child. The pleas were entered before the Honorable Colleen Nichols in Department 13 of the Placer County Superior Court. Pursuant to a plea agreement the defendant will be sentenced to 19 years, 8 months to life.
The murder charges resulted from the 2011murder of Sara Lynn Burr and her unborn child. Burr and the defendant had been in a romantic relationship and were expecting what would have been Burr's third daughter. Burr remained in this relationship with the defendant, notwithstanding evidence that the two were involved in frequent fights with each other. According to numerous witnesses, the two argued regularly. Witnesses described their relationship as volatile.
In May, 2011, Sarah and her two daughters (age 11 and age 7) were temporarily living with the defendant's father in a small subdivision near Colfax, in Placer County. On the evening of May 15th, Burr arrived at the defendant's home after work. After dinner, an argument erupted between Burr and the defendant. In the midst of the argument, the defendant went to a closet near the front door and retrieved a hunting rifle. Sarah's two daughters went downstairs while the defendant and Sarah continued to argue.
The investigation into the murder revealed that in the course of the argument, Sarah retrieved a large kitchen knife and attempted to leave out of the front door of the residence. As she was exiting the front door, she was shot in the back. Both Burr and her fetus died at the scene.
The formal sentencing of Konnerth will take place July 17th, 2013 at 1:00 pm in Department 4 of the Placer County Superior Court House.

March 4-10 is Agricultural Safety Awareness Week, when Farm Bureau reminds farmers and ranchers to take time to be safe as they go about their daily tasks.
A little awareness goes a long way, and safety is always a good investment.
Any occupation that involves physical labor and the use of moving equipment has a built-in level of danger. So the farm or ranch has its share of hazards, just like any workplace.
According to the U.S. Labor Department's Bureau of Labor Statistics report for injuries on the job in the year 2010, the workforce involved in growing crops or raising animals experienced proportionately fewer injuries than those working in sawmills or in iron foundries, but slightly more than people working in underground coal mines.
Working in farming is more hazardous by that measure than working in construction, but about the same as a machine shop.
Statistics are also kept on accidents According to BLS, in 2010 some 312 people died while working in crop production and another 151 in animal production. Adding in people working in support activities (like soil preparation), 495 agricultural workers lost their lives on the job in 2010.
that involve fatalities.
The stats cover only farms with 11 workers or more, so small family farms are not counted. Still, the tally is spread over about 900,000 workers, which represents a sizable portion of the agricultural workforce.
The annual cost of agricultural occupational injuries and fatalities has been estimated at upwards of $4 billion, and the real cost could be far more.
There is the direct medical cost, the loss of productivity and the disruption that occurs when a farm operator is put out of commission for any length of time.
And it's impossible to put a real value on a life that is actually lost. The emotional toll on family members and other workers is an additional factor not to be overlooked.
Progress being made
Thankfully, progress is being made. Technological improvements alone are bringing a higher level of safety to farm work.
For example, tractor rollovers have been a major cause of injury or death, occurring mainly when equipment is operated on sloping ground or too close to a ditch. But rollover protection systems (ROPS) are now standard on new tractors.
The investment in adding rollover protection and seatbelts to older tractors will pay great dividends if these tractors are involved in a rollover.
Safety on the farm is like anything else; it improves when you work at it. If the farm operator sets and enforces certain rules, the margin of safety will increase.
Take tractor safety, for example. Proper maintenance of equipment and enforcement of rules such as "No seat, no rider" are smart investments of time and money.
Awareness works. For example, Farm Bureau has put the spotlight on children and teenagers and the work they do on farms. The organization has emphasized that while farm kids are frequently vital to the success of a farm, many, but not all farm jobs are appropriate. Partly as a result of greater awareness, injury rates among youth on the farm were cut in half from 1998 to 2009, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, citing data from the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health.
While it's hard to quantify the total impact of accidental injury or death, it's easy to see that any farm is better off without them. Awareness of hazards and a commitment to safety for everyone on the farm is an investment that will pay off many times over.
Richard L. Lobb is a guest contributor to Farm Bureau's Focus on Agriculturecolumn series this week. He is a long-time agricultural communicator.

Pittsburgh Penguins' Kris Letang needs to rein in his emotions for Game 2
Kris Letang is a veteran of 81 Stanley Cup playoff games.
With that kind of experience, the Pittsburgh Penguins defenceman should have a better handle on his emotions.
Letang was tested by the Columbus Blue Jackets in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference quarterfinal and didn't like it, as he sticked Jackets forward Boone Jenner in the gut to take a slashing penalty and later was assessed an interference minor deep in the defensive zone that wasn't necessary.
"I think Kris is a guy who is targeted," Penguins coach Dan Bylsma said on Thursday. "There are certain players you are looking to put a dent on, go after with a forecheck and be physical on, and Kris is one of those guys on our team.
"I didn't like the response from Kris on the penalty he took on Jenner. That's something he has to be better at and it's something we need to be better at as a group."
It's playoff hockey. There's going to be an extra ounce of sweat in every check finished. It's one reason that series get nastier as they progress. Even the Penguins' motto for the playoffs — "Buckle Up Baby!" — hints at the physical nature of the post-season.
Perhaps one game was enough for Letang, who played in the Penguins' final three games of the regular season after recovering from a stroke, to get the retaliatory stuff out of his system. He also was guilty of committing a turnover on a shorthanded goal by Derek MacKenzie.
Of course, whether it's Letang and the other Penguins defencemen looking over their shoulders on the Columbus forecheck or Sidney Crosby seeing Brandon Dubinsky each time he goes over the boards, the take-no-prisoners attitude won't subside.
Dubinsky — who led the Jackets with nine hits in Game 1 — welcomes the idea of trying to keep Crosby, who had an assist and was minus-2 in the Penguins' 4-3 victory, on edge.
"You got to do whatever you can to try to find an edge, try to find a win," Dubinsky said. "They have some great players over there and some of the best in the world. You have to do your best to make it tough on them. As a team, I think we'll continue to get better at doing that."
The Jackets nearly pulled off an opening-game upset without two of their more effective forwards, R.J. Umberger and Nick Foligno. There's a possibility Umberger (upper body) will return for Game 2, while Foligno (knee) could play in Game 3 on Monday. "If it was up to me, I would have played last night," Umberger told reporters in Columbus. "Anybody who knows me knows how badly I want to be out there." … Foligno said he is "getting close." Both Umberger and Foligno scored 18 goals for the Blue Jackets during the regular season, making their respective absences not easy to absorb … Bylsma tinkered with his lines in the opener, and rookie Brian Gibbons — who had some shifts with Crosby and Chris Kunitz on Pittsburgh's top line — should expect more of that in Game 2. "Flat-out, straight-away speed, I don't know where Brian would rank in the league, but I think he is the fastest guy on our team," Bylsma said. "Sid is a player who likes and needs his linemates to force the other team with their speed. Sid is able to read off that. It's something he has always wanted on his wings." … No one would argue the Penguins were at their best in Game 1, and Crosby had an idea of how he and his club can play to their talents with more consistency. "Winning one-on-one battles," Crosby said. "We have to execute a little better coming out of our end and make sure we don't allow them to make easy plays in our end."
Crosby's assist in Game 1 was his 106th career point in the playoffs, tying him with Kevin Stevens for third on the Penguins' career playoff list. Crosby has a ways to go before he catches Jaromir Jagr, who is second with 147 points, and Mario Lemieux, who holds the franchise record with 172 playoff points … That the Penguins gradually took over in the series opener could be tracked in the faceoff circle. The Jackets won 16 of 23 faceoffs in the first period, but the Penguins won 21 of 31 in the second and 12 of 17 in the third. "One thing we talked about and needed to do — and we were better with as the game went on — was our defencemen and wingers helping and jumping in on the drop of the puck," Bylsma said. "We got better there, we recovered." This was Columbus coach Todd Richards' take: "It's the mentality. It's the first battle of the shift. If you were to take a puck and have two guys stand 10 feet away and you throw the puck in the corner and said, 'Okay, go get it,' there would be a pretty good battle to get that puck. You have to have that same mentality going in for faceoffs." … The Penguins will practise on Friday after taking Thursday off. With the two-day break between games, the Blue Jackets made the short flight to Columbus after Game 1 to prepare at home for Game 2, which goes Saturday night at the Consol Energy Center.

In Sky & Telescope, images are as important as text. When authors or photographers provide images to us, the quality we can reproduce in the magazine is directly proportional to the quality we get in the first place. How a picture was taken is as important as how it was developed and printed or, for a digital image, how long the total exposures contributing to the final image (through individual color filters, or simply the cumulative exposure time).
Here we'll go over some basic techniques for setting up and taking photographs of astronomical equipment and people, offer tips on processing and printing film photos, and discuss issues related to digital-image acquisition and processing.
For information about submitting photos of astronomical objects, please see our Astro Imager's Guide.
Camera quality matters. A high-quality digital single-lens-reflex (DSLR) camera will give a nice, sharp picture — if the lens is focused properly. DSLR's infinity focus does not translate to perfectly focused stars. You'll need to find proper focus using one of the common methods discussed in many of the astrophotography article in the magazine. Mid-level to advanced point-and-shoot cameras can also do a respectable job.
Film quality (if you use film) matters too. Color negative film has a much wider exposure latitude then color slide film, so it's easier to achieve a top-quality scan from negatives. 400-speed films from Kodak, Fuji, and other manufacturers have great latitude and very fine grain; these are the best choices even for pictures taken in bright daylight, and in some cases still produce a better picture than digital cameras.
Now lets move on to the actual setup. If you're photographing a white telescope on a sunny day, don't place it in front of a dark background (a tree or building shadows); no matter how good your film, it's going to have a hard time coping with these extremes of bright and dark. Instead, place the scope in front of a large area of evenly lit grass, dirt, or even asphalt; your film will handle the contrast better. Putting the telescope in a large area of open shade can work, but open shade lit by a large expanse of blue sky will lend a blue cast to your photos. Use an 81a or 81b filter to compensate.
The best light for outdoor shots of equipment and people is slight overcast — it evens out the sunlight and helps eliminate harsh shadows. Heavier overcast is fine, but use an 81a filter to warm up the colors. To minimize vibration, mount your camera on a tripod and use a cable or remote shutter release.
Now that digital cameras have become very popular, many of the images sent to us for possible publication are electronic. Although the standard for image resolution is 72 dots per inch (dpi), this is really only for Web and e-mail applications. Magazine publication usually means an image needs to be around 300 dpi. The other default standard is that most cameras save files in JPEG (or JPG) format. This is used so that the camera can squeeze as many images onto a memory card as possible. Unfortunately JPEG compression degrades the image — the higher the compression, the worse the image becomes. Newer and better digital cameras allow you to change the file format that the camera uses to save images. Specify the least amount of JPEG compression or, if possible, switch to TIFF or RAW format. This will result in larger files but produce images of superior quality. (Note, however, that we do not accept images in RAW format, because these are proprietary formats specific to your camera.)
Although this is becoming rare, when sending slides or prints, be sure to send only copies and keep the originals to guard against loss in the mail or other mishap. Sky & Telescope does not return submitted photos unless specifically requested. While we take special care to prevent damage to film in our possession, we prefer submissions to arrive in digital format, due to our printing process. Prints, slides, and negatives will be returned to you only if you specifically request it. Write the words "Return to [your name and mailing address]" on each slide or print you wish returned. This must be on each photo, not in a separate letter or on a plastic sheet containing many slides. If this becomes tedious when submitting many photographs, we suggest using printed stickers. The information needs to be attached only once to a plastic holder containing a strip of several negatives. If we tell you we plan to use one of your images and you need it back by a particular date, let us know; we will transfer your images to digital format and then return them. Note: We generally do not return digital images supplied on diskettes, CD-ROMs, or other media.
Whether you ask for an image to be returned or not, please supply as much information about it as possible: your name and mailing address, the subject, the date, time, telescope/camera, exposure, film, etc. Again, the best place for this information is right on the print or slide itself; alternatively, you may use our image submission form.
If you have any questions not answered by this guide, please contact us. Thanks for your interest in Sky & Telescope!

NHIAA Football Roundup: Goffstown, Guertin post Division I victories
October 13. 2013 12:24AM
Quarterback Casey Gervais threw two touchdown passes to Paul Teixeira to help the Goffstown High School football team defeat Salem 28-22 Saturday in Goffstown.
The victory raised Goffstown's Division I record to 2-4. Salem fell to 1-5. Salem's Jason Martinez carried the ball 42 times for 209 yards and three touchdowns in the loss.
An 8-yard TD pass from Gervais to Teixeira help Goffstown build a 28-14 lead in the fourth quarter, Martinez cut into that deficit when he scored his third TD. Salem had two more possessions. The Blue Devils turned the ball over on down at the Goffstown 38-yard line, and then moved the ball to its own 48-yard line before Justin Wanner intercepted a pass to seal the win.
Gervais completed 11 of 25 passes for 149 yards. He was intercepted three times. Teixeira had four receptions for 56 yards.
Bishop Guertin 38, Spaulding 26: At Nashua, C.J. Boykin suited up for the first time since suffering an elbow injury in the Queen City Jamboree and ran two kickoffs back for touchdowns to help No. 5 BG improve to 5-1 in Division I. Boykin ran the opening kickoff back 88 yards for a score, also had an 81-yard kickoff return for a TD. Trevon Scott had two TD runs and a TD catch for No. 9 Spaulding, which slipped to 3-3.
Plymouth 37, Laconia 0: At Plymouth, the Bobcats received 160 yards rushing and two touchdowns from halfback Jared Kuehl and improved their Division II record to 6-0. Kuehl also caught a TD pass.
Plymouth's John Thomas rushed for 100 yards and a TD, and tight end Kyle Reisert caught a TD pass. Quarterback Collin Sullivan threw both TD passes. Laconia, which dropped to 2-4, trailed 7-0 after one quarter and 28-0 at halftime.
Milford 42, John Stark 7: At Weare, Mitch Banuskevich ran for 193 yards and two touchdowns on 11 carries to help Milford improve to 4-2 in Division II. Milford's Evan Perron ran for two TDs and caught a TD pass. The Spartans also received 96 yards rushing and a touchdown from Willie Miles. Milford quarterback Harrison Urdawas injured late in the first half and left the field by ambulance. Milford coach Keith Jones said he believes the injury is a dislocated ankle. John Stark dropped to 1-5 with the loss.
Pelham 21, Epping-Newmarket 7: At Epping, Chris Benjamin caught a 78-yard touchdown pass to highlight Pelham's victory. The Pythons raised their record to 5-0 and are the only unbeaten team in Division III.
Epping-Newmarket's TD came on a 21-yard halfback pass from Alex Souvannaseng to Kyle Cawley with two seconds left in the first half. Epping-Newmarket fell to 2-3 with the loss.
Gilford 43, Newfound 42: At Bristol, halfback Tyler Maviki rushed for 98 yards and scored four touchdowns, but Newfound came up short when Gilford scored and added the point-after kick in the second overtime. Gilford, which tied the game with less than two minutes remaining in regulation, raised its Division III record to 4-1. Newfound fell to 2-3.
Newfound quarterback Jared Dearborn completed 15 of 23 passes for 157 yards and two touchdowns.
Bow 33, I-L/Moultonborough 0: At Meredith, junior tailback Kyle Barrington scored two touchdowns as the Falcons extended their winning streak to four games and raised their Divison III record to 4-1. Barrington's TDs came on runs of 5 yards and 1 yard.
Bow also received touchdown runs from Dwight Alford (3 yards), Matt Ehrenberg (5 yards) and Casey Iasillo (4 yards). Inter-Lakes Moultonborough fell to 3-3 with the loss.
Campbell 57, Raymond 7: At Litchfield, quarterback Christian McKenna tossed three touchdown passes and ran for two TDs to help Campbell raise its Division III record to 4-1. Kyle Manning had a TD catch and returned a kickoff 65 yards for a touchdown. Cody Aylward made two touchdown receptions. Raymond slipped to 0-5.
Bishop Brady 41, Farmington-Nute 14: At Farmington, Matt Tetu scored three touchdowns and the Green Giants outscored Farmington-Nute 34-0 in the second half. Defensive end Hunter Migneault returned an interception for a TD to give Bishop Brady a 20-14 lead early in the second half. Bishop Brady is now 3-2 in Division II. Farmington-Nute is 0-5.
Newport 52, Windsor, Vt. 14: At Newport, sophomore Noah Wade scored touchdowns on runs of 33, 16 and 20 yards to help Newport win a non-league contest that will not count in the Division III standings. Tanner Sherman added two touchdowns for the Tigers.

Oct. 24 Bruce Bochy postgame interview
Q. Obviously you've seen Pablo over a few years. Anything surprise you with the power tonight?
BRUCE BOCHY: Well, I mean, to hit three home runs, I mean, that's always a surprise. But the guy can hit. He's got a great ability to get the good part of the bat on the ball and threw out some great at‑bats. He's swinging it very well and he's been seeing the ball very well, and that was quite a performance by him.
Q. Obviously you've seen Pablo over a few years. Anything surprise you with the power tonight?
BRUCE BOCHY: Well, I mean, to hit three home runs, I mean, that's always a surprise. But the guy can hit. He's got a great ability to get the good part of the bat on the ball and threw out some great at‑bats. He's swinging it very well and he's been seeing the ball very well, and that was quite a performance by him.
We're not known for our power, but it's nice to get three home runs. He's been locked in for a while, and the home runs really where he hit them, too, it's not easy to hit them where he hit them. Just a tremendous night. A night I know he'll never forget.
Q. The swing is one thing, but do you think that Pablo has elevated his game with the intensity of the situation?
BRUCE BOCHY: Yeah, I'd say that. Really in previous games, too, against the Cardinals, he swung the bat very well, and that's what it takes, somebody stepping up to win these ballgames.
Scutaro had a big at‑bat in that game, too; Pagan and Scutaro, they did a good job of getting on base, and Pablo just had a huge night for us.
Those guys in that 3, 4, 5, 6 hole you're counting on them to come through for you, and he did tonight. I just like where he's at at the plate, and he's been playing great ball for a while now.
Q. Coming into tonight the way Zito had pitched, you seemed confident that he was going to come out and give you another solid night. That's kind of where he is now as far as locked in and confident on the mound, do you think?
BRUCE BOCHY: I agree. He's been throwing the ball very well, and I was happy and glad to tell him that he had the start tonight. He was excited about it. He's kind of been our lucky charm, too. 14 games now we've found a way to win his ballgames, and he's just had great focus out there and concentration. He started getting the ball up there in the 6th, but that's a tough lineup, and he really located well both sides of the plate, changed speeds, and he's been throwing like this for a while.
Really to win 15 games, you have to throw the ball well all year, and he's won some big games for us. I mean, we know the game in St. Louis, but to get here, he's done a remarkable job of stopping losing streaks and finding ways to win a ballgame for us.
Q. Two years ago Pablo didn't play very much in the World Series. From a personal standpoint how pleased are you and happy are you that he had a chance to get involved obviously in a very big way in this one?
BRUCE BOCHY: Well, I'm happy for him. I'm sure he looks back at that time, that experience he had, and I'm sure he wasn't too happy with how it went there in 2010. He looks very determined to show that not just us, everybody, what a great talent he is.
We've always thought a lot of Pablo, but at that time we had to make a change. But we need him. I think the time from his surgery, he's gotten stronger the last month and is swinging the bat the way we know he can.
Q. How much does Blanco mean to the pitchers, to have Blanco out in left field with the plays that he's making?
BRUCE BOCHY: Yeah, our defense can win games for you. You can help win a ballgame without getting a base hit. He's one of those players with the defense that gives you, we're more athletic and faster in the outfield, and those guys do a great job of covering ground. He's one of the best.
The one catch he made in Cain's perfect game we'll always remember. But he's done that all year. He's made great plays out there. He gets a good jump on the ball, and he throws well. He's just a gifted outfielder.
Q. Can you talk about Lincecum's performance and also his availability now going on in the series?
BRUCE BOCHY: Well, it's nice to have Timmy available in the bullpen. He's really done a tremendous job for us, helping us there, filling some innings. He could have finished the game. We're trying to save some pitches there on him.
But he seems comfortable. I think he looked forward to the challenge of coming out of the bullpen. Doesn't take him long to get ready.
The thing about Timmy, he's so competitive, but at the same time he's such a good teammate. And when I talked to him about this, he was all in, as I said, in the previous postseason games. He wants to do it, he wants to help, and he's ready. It's a nice weapon to have, especially in tonight's game.
He'll be off tomorrow, but with the day off, first game in Detroit he'll be ready to go.
Q. The last two Game 1s, last two World Series against Cliff Lee and Verlander, 19 runs. How about that?
BRUCE BOCHY: Well, you know, it's hard to figure this game sometimes. You hear the old adage, that's baseball. These guys are human, and sometimes they're not quite on top of their game. We know what a great pitcher he is. I'm sure he made a few more mistakes than he normally does tonight, but what's important is we took advantage of it and found a way to score off him. We knew we had our work cut out going against Verlander, and guys did a great job. But it always starts with the guy on the hill. And Zito, again, he kind of set the tone and held them at bay for us to give us a chance to win.
Q. You've been playing from behind this entire postseason, but I imagine you don't mind getting Game 1. Just your thoughts ongoing up 1‑0.
BRUCE BOCHY: Well, it's always good to get Game 1. There's a lot of baseball left, but there's no question it's nice to not be behind right now and take Game 1 and get the type of pitching we got tonight and of course the hitting. This is a great game for us, and we'll have to put this behind us and be ready to go tomorrow.
But this is a great way to start, but that's what it is, a start.
Q. One more question on your third baseman: You've been in this game a long time. You're not new to the game. You know it's been done before; obviously Ruth, Jackson, Pujols last year, but when you see something like this, does it startle you, does it amaze you still?
BRUCE BOCHY: Well, I'm a fan, too, and when you see something like this, it makes you appreciate the gifts and talents that these players have, and for somebody to do what Pablo did tonight, you have to appreciate what he can do with the bat. Again, I couldn't be happier for him. With what he went through in 2010, now he's getting a chance to go out there and show what kind of player he is. But still, to watch that, I'll never forget it. Three home runs on a stage like this, that's pretty impressive.
Q. Your Game 2 starter, Madison Bumgarner, struggled a lot at the end of the year and in the playoffs. Have you pinpointed what the issue is? Is it fatigue, mechanical?
BRUCE BOCHY: You know what, we're confident in Madison. He's done a tremendous job all year, last year in the postseason, in 2010. Again, these guys are human. Sometimes they're going to have their hiccups. He's worked on some things in the bullpen, and I think he needs to back off a little bit and just not try to do too much out there.
So I think the time that he's had to work on some things should help him. But again, we forget how young he is at 23. But he's been working to get back in sync and get his delivery back. So I can't wait to watch him tomorrow to be honest because this guy has done a lot for us.

Jan Jansz Schot (d. 1535)
Jan Jansz Schot (Jan Jansz Schilder, i.e., painter) was an influential leader of the Anabaptists at Rotterdam. He had been baptized in December 1533 by Jan van Leyden. After much activity he was apprehended and imprisoned at The Hague. Forsaking his faith, he was not burned at the stake but beheaded. This execution took place on 10 April at The Hague (not Rotterdam as de Hoop Scheffer suggests). After his death his widow Maryken continued to lodge Anabaptists. According to K. Vos, Schot was originally from Brussels, and his wife, also of Brussels, was an illegitimate daughter of Johanna van der Gheenst and Emperor Charles V.

Destructoid - When I first started playing Dream Trigger 3D, I despised it with every fiber of my being. It was chaotic and confusing, with controls that didn't make sense and a tutorial that does nothing to explain how one is supposed to play.
After spending a fair few hours with the game, all of the above is still true, but now I like the game. It's always weird when that happens.

Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Chordata Class: Amphibia Order: Caudata Family: Ambystomatidae Genus/Species: Ambystoma bishopi Common Name: Reticulated flatwoods salamander
Federal Status: Endangered FL Status: Federally-designated Endangered FNAI Ranks: Not ranked IUCN Status: VU (Vulnerable)
The reticulated flatwoods salamander is a long and slender salamander that can reach a body length of 5.2 inches (13 centimeters) (Ashton 1992). It has a silvery-gray or black body with white spots that are more distinct than on the frosted flatwoods salamander, Ambystoma cingulatum (Goin 1950 as cited in Pauly et at. 2007). Reticulated flatwoods salamanders also have a small head and a black belly.
The diet of the reticulated flatwoods salamanders primarily consists of earthworms and spiders (Goin 1950, P. Moler pers. comm. 2011).
Flatwoods salamanders migrate to ponds or small puddles to breed from October to January during wet weather. Females lay clumps of eggs among vegetation such as twigs and pine needles. The maximum clutch size for the flatwoods salamander is 35 eggs, which hatch 48 hours after being laid. Larvae metamorphose in 90 days (Ashton 1992, J. Himes pers. comm. 2011).
The reticulated flatwoods salamander inhabits slash and longleaf pine flatwoods that have a wiregrass floor and scattered wetlands (Florida Natural Areas Inventory 2001). This species occurs in Florida counties west of the Apalachicola River (Map Data from: Krysko et al. 2011).
The main threat to the reticulated flatwoods salamander is loss of habitat. Pine flatwoods-wiregrass habitats have suffered rapid loss in the southeast due to agriculture and silviculture (Ashton 1992). Continued loss of habitat could cause extensive population loss for the reticulated flatwoods salamander. An extensive drop of the water table could prevent the necessary inundation of water that eggs require (Palis and Hammerson 2008).
The reticulated flatwoods salamander is protected as an Endangered species by the Federal Endangered Species Act and as a Federally-designated Endangered species by Florida's Endangered and Threatened Species Rule.

Firefox 3.0.19 is being beta tested on IRIX. Yeah, I know, Firefox 3.x is really old. But this is a big deal for IRIX users, who have been stuck on Firefox 2.0.22 for years. With this breakthrough, I expect to see 3.5 or 3.6 follow soon. Not sure how much more recent than that can be accomplished.

A BCTC Toyota Program Gives Students On-the-Factory-Floor Training in Georgetown
Source: By Stephen Burnett, a KyForward contributor.
When Christina Partin was still a child, and her mechanic father would work on cars, tractors or lawnmowers, she would often want to go outside and watch the repairs. Yes, she was a daddy's girl, she said with a laugh but her father didn't prefer her hanging around car parts and tools.
He told me that I couldn't do it, because it was a dad thing, Partin said.
Her father, however, has since tuned up his views, she said later, because in 2010 when Partin graduated from Western Hills High School in Frankfort, she found herself pursuing a very similar career. Staff of Toyota Motor Manufacturing, Kentucky, Inc., and Bluegrass Community and Technical College (BCTC) in Georgetown, had begun a new effort: the Advanced Manufacturing Technician Program. Partin began working as an intern for Toyota that summer, and in the fall her classes began. Those classes were specifically geared to teach multiple skills, equipping students not only for Toyota, but for most other manufacturing firms.
Having been the first person of her struggling family to graduate from high school, Partin now has more notable firsts: going to college, and being among the first students of the program.
I'm already a complete different person, she said. I've done things I didn't think I could do.
Assembling Workers
The program was really meant for us to develop skilled maintenance workers, said Jim Mattingly, a recruiter with Toyota. When we first came to Toyota, the people we hired were maintenance people in the beginning. But limited knowledge of trades, especially spread out among several people, can only go so far in manufacturing, he said. Once firms could have hired one electrician, and one welder. Now firms prefer hiring one person who has skills in multiple fields, not only electricity and welding, but robotics, pneumatics, hydraulics and more, he said.
There's just a shortage of this kind of skilled laborer, added Rick Hesterburg, with Toyota's corporate communications.
Working together to help BCTC build students, who can then find jobs with manufacturers, was a prime opportunity for the college and Toyota, Mattingly continued. With these students, we're going to have a much better workforce in the future.
This year, BCTC and Toyota supervisors are working with a third class of students, all recruits directly out of high schools. The program spans five semesters, across two years and including summers. When students finish, they will have at least 80 credit hours within their associates degree in manufacturing and industrial technology.
That will also benefit central Kentucky, said Mark Manuel, vice president of workforce and institutional development at BCTC. We are in a hotbed of manufacturing here, even though most people think that manufacturing is dead, he said. Its not. Its growing.
Manuel also helped assemble the internship program, in which students work 40 hours a week: 24 in the plant on Mondays, Thursdays and Fridays, and 16 hours in classes on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, and occasionally during evenings. Their work in the plant starts at $12 an hour, and depending on both their work proficiency and grades in school, they can get raises, up to $16 an hour, plus overtime payments, Mattingly said.
It's what people in academics call work and learn, Manuel said. Such programs have existed for years, but have somewhat fallen out of favor, despite their beneficial approaches. Our relationship with Toyota is fairly unique, because we are located on their facility; we work hand-in-hand with them, he said. They work together that closely. And that's a good thing.
Twenty-four students are in the program now, and Mattingly recently finished recruiting for the fall 2012 semester, from students at 19 high schools across the state. Their objectives are to find students who are interested in engineering in manufacturing, are skilled in math, and enjoy working with their hands. They have likely been in skilled trades programs already, he said.
On the Floor
Even before Partin began her first semester, she had spent several weeks in training at Toyota. That included safety training something to which she had to grow accustomed. I almost didn't get into the program because I was scared because I was so little, and the machines were so big! she said. At about 105 pounds and just over five feet tall, the factory floor was at first intimidating. You have cars floating over your head all the time, pretty much. In the shop that I'm in, we have forty-ton cranes, or forty-ton models being carried by cranes above you. It's very, very easy if you don't know what you're doing it's very easy to get hurt.
But during those first weeks, and in the years afterward, Partin had no accidents. They tell us all the time, they can replace us at work, but they can't replace us at home, she said.
Toyota's Georgetown plant is the largest in North America, more than 25 years old and with 7.5 million square feet of floor space under one roof, equivalent to 156 football fields, Hesterburg said. Its workers can build 500,000 cars within a year. When times are good, and our volume is ticking back up, it's not unusual for us to make about two thousand cars here a day, he added.
In that factory and in classes, Partin soon learned there were few boundaries between the two. We actually learn, in the environment were working in, she said. I have friends in regular college, and they always told me how they wish they had gotten into an internship, because they hate sitting in a class with fifty people or more. It's really boring, and they're not able to learn how they want to. By contrast, the work pays for much of her tuition along with a scholarship she obtained and also allowed her finally to purchase her dream pickup truck.
Still, the job and classes, along with her second job at Advance Auto Parts, keeps her busy. I don't really get to get out and do a whole lot, because I'm focusing on my future, Partin said. The only thing I'm going now is to try to encourage someone else to go beyond what they know, or what they thought they could do. I didn't think I could do anything I'm doing now.
Manufacturing Futures
This May, Partin will graduate. My knowledge level is going to be up the roof, she said. I will have learned electricity, I will have learned motors. I'll have learned robots. So far, she has two possibilities then: either go on to more college, perhaps for three more years to earn an engineering degree, or head into more work with Toyota, if that's possible.
Mattingly said that Toyota cannot, and does not, guarantee future jobs with every student who participates in the program. But if students graduate with a good manufacturing skill set, they will be able to go out and find a job anywhere, he said. Though other colleges may teach similar manufacturing skills, few other programs can guarantee that, Mattingly added. But what they don't get is the Toyota training and teaching, working in the plant.
That training has not only revolutionized Partin's view of herself and her capabilities, but persuaded her father as well. When he saw how much she loved working with tools and car parts, on a larger scale, he changed his mind, she explained with a laugh. Since then, he's attempted to teach her more of what he knows himself about repairing vehicles.
Yet in some sense, a high-school student needs a specific series of preexisting talents to find possibilities in this program, or manufacturing altogether, Partin said.
Be sure that you know your math skills, she suggested. You just have to be sure that you're headstrong, and you don't give up easy. The only person holding you back from doing anything that you want to, no matter what it is, is yourself.
As for the programs future, classes for interns may be able to move out of the Toyota building itself and into a new building. College classes hosted within a Toyota building, with Toyota badges on students, have been incorrectly perceived as loyalty to one company, Manuel explained. Once we get the funding for that (building), we'll be a real nucleus for advanced manufacturing in this region, he added. That's really the key factor in attracting new businesses, and even expanding existing businesses.

STATEN ISLAND, NY – Fr. Frank Pavone, National Director of Priests for Life, today praised Ohio Governor John Kasich and Ohio's legislature for enacting budget provisions that value life and protect the right of conscience.
"There is so much in this budget to praise, that it's hard to cover it all," Fr. Pavone said. "Less money to child-killing and more to child-saving is a great place to start. And as for those who complain that the new budget provisions will force some abortion clinics in Ohio to close, let me say this: it's time for the abortion industry to put up or shut up. They claim to care so much about women's health. If that's true, then do what the law requires to protect women's health, or stop hiding behind it."

Jeremy Menez has moved to refute claims that he refused to enter the pitch during Paris Saint-Germain's 0-0 draw with Ajaccio.
The French media reported that the former Roma man had ignored Carlo Ancelotti's attempts to use him as a substitute in the stalemate, something the player himself denies.
"It is totally false in any case," the 25-year-old told the club's official website.
"It's simple - I didn't even get off the bench to warm up so I do not see how I could refuse to go on the field! The whole bench can be my witness.
"I was calm on Friday evening and for me these lies are empty. I prefer to clarify the situation because it is a non-event, none of this has happened."
However, Menez admitted he has previously had some problems with his attitude, but insists the French press need to acknowledge that he is maturing.
"Unfortunately, in the past, I have had some mood swings when I was young," he confessed.
"I try to make daily efforts on my behavior and all the while these kind of stories keep on going. Obviously, it does not make me happy and I do not know why people try to harm me."
The 0-0 draw with the Corsicans saw the capital club surrender top spot in Ligue 1 to Olympique Lyonnais.

Ok, this thread is for listing bugs you're seen so far in 5.1
Looks like a number of combat graphics are missing. In my current 3 man group my Flayer Youngling's reflection graphic is not showing in combat. Neither is the missile on my Darkmoon Zepplin. The abilities work they simply do not show the graphic in combat.
I like the new interface. It does a lot that my add ons use to. The only thing missing is when I mouse over the opposing pet it lists if I have the pet but doesn't show the level i.e. rare, uncommon ect. I like being able to quickly see if the pet I am battling is an upgrade which I could do with the add ons I was running (Pet Theory and Pet Quality Glow). Might have to put those add ons back on to be able to see that.

Nickel Cadmium (NiCd) is a well-established chemistry for custom battery packs & assemblies. Although newer battery chemistries have taken the spotlight in recent years, Nickel Cadmium still remains a viable chemistry today.
Nickel Cadmium batteries have several advantages over other battery chemistries in use today. Nickel Cadmiums can take a fast charge, some in as little as 15 minutes and can take a charge at lower temperatures. Maintained properly, Nickel Cadmiums are capable of thousands of cycles. Nickel Cadmiums can sustain heavy loads. Some newer lithium chemistries have comparable fast-charge, hi-rate discharge, and cycle life capabilities as NiCd.
From a price standpoint, Nickel Cadmium is a bargain compared to some newer battery chemistries. In the past, NiCd offered the widest variety of cells and construction methods available. More recently, however, size selection has become somewhat more limited as NiCd batteries have been banned in some regions due to environmental concerns.
Most Nickel Cadmiums for portable application are either spiral wound cylindrical cells or button cells. There are larger plate Nickel Cadmium wet cells used in aircraft and long term stationary applications.
Several kinds of electrodes are used in Nickel Cadmium cells. Sintered, plastic bonded, and foam are the main types. By combining different types of electrodes in a cell, battery pack manufacturers are able build cells that have unique advantages over other types. For example: Nickel Cadmium cells may be tailored for superior performance at high temperature, high discharge, fast charge, long-term float or trickle charge, or may be made to deliver extra capacity and be economically priced.
Nickel Cadmium's reputation has suffered over the years from the so-called "memory effect." The term memory effect implies that the battery "remembers" how much energy was required on previous discharges. Simply put, memory effect is a loss of Nickel Cadmium cell performance after relatively few cycles. This is usually caused by crystalline formation on the electrodes of the cell. When the crystals grow, they reduce the surface area of the electrodes, which leads to voltage depression and loss of performance.
The biggest cause of memory effect is overcharge due to the battery being left on charge for an indefinite period of time or being charged before necessary. The best remedy is regular exercise or complete discharge to 1.0 volt/cell. Both cyclic and standby batteries should be fully discharged once a month to maintain optimum performance. If memory effect becomes really bad because of improper maintenance, there are a host of excellent battery analyzer/reconditioners that should be able to repair the damage. If too much time has passed, however, even fancy equipment won't bring your Nickel Cadmium back.
Under normal condition Nickel Cadmiums prefer a constant current charge. Several cycles may be necessary before a Nickel Cadmium battery reaches its fully rated capacity. Standard Nickel Cadmiums take a 14 hour charge with an input current of 1/10 the battery's capacity or a C/10 (capacity ¸ 10) rate. Special Nickel Cadmiums will take a charge in as little as an hour or less with proper termination. The best termination for Nickel Cadmium is -D V, which means the charge stops after the battery reaches peak voltage and just starts to drop in voltage as it goes into overcharge. Nickel Cadmiums should be charged in temperatures between 5° C to +45° C.
Since around 1990, NiCd cells and batteries have been banned for use in consumer electronics in some regions of the world, particularly in Europe. This is because cadmium is a toxic heavy metal.

15th Annual Clean Snowmobile Challenge Kicks Off Next Week
By Marcia Goodrich | Published
Michigan Technological University is gearing up for the 15th annual SAE Clean Snowmobile Challenge, set for March 3-8 at the Keweenaw Research Center.
The Clean Snowmobile Challenge is a collegiate design competition of the Society of Automotive Engineers. Engineering students from participating schools take a stock snowmobile and reengineer it. They aim to reduce emissions and noise and increase fuel efficiency while preserving the riding excitement demanded by snowmobile enthusiasts.
In addition, the Challenge features a zero-emissions category, for battery-powered sleds, which is sponsored by the National Science Foundation. NSF uses electric snowmobiles while conducting atmospheric research in pristine arctic locations.
The public is welcome at a number of events, including the Grand Opening ceremony, which begins at 10 a.m., Tuesday, March 4, at the Keweenaw Research Center, near the Houghton County Memorial Airport. After the ceremony, teams in the internal combustion division will begin the Endurance Run, which includes a ride up to Copper Harbor.
On Wednesday, March 7, the teams will have their sleds on display from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Copper Country Mall. Everyone is invited to view the entries and talk with the participants about their design strategies.
On Saturday, March 8, the Polaris Acceleration Event begins at 10 a.m., followed by the Polaris Handling Event at 11 a.m. In addition, the zero-emissions entries will undergo their Acceleration and Load Test at 11 a.m. All three events are open to the public and are held at the Keweenaw Research Center Test Course.
The Awards Banquet is held at 6:30 p.m., Saturday, March 8, in the Memorial Union Ballroom on the Michigan Tech campus. Tickets are $25 and may be purchased by contacting the Keweenaw Research Center, 906-487-2750.
Fuel economy is a top priority in the Challenge, and this year, there's a difference. Instead of running on blends of gasoline and ethanol, the internal combustion machines will use a gasoline-isobutanol flex fuel.
Isobutanol is distilled from corn, like ethanol, but it blends better with gasoline and has more energy. The entries will need to adapt to a "mystery blend," a fuel recipe that contains anything from 16 to 32 percent isobutanol.
The Clean Snowmobile Challenge is sponsored at Michigan Tech by the Keweenaw Research Center and the Department of Mechanical Engineering-Engineering Mechanics.
