Emergency Alert Systems
Language Revitalization and Cultural Preservation Tools
Easily search, navigate, display and organize rich multimedia content reliably, and administer cultural assets as part of your language revitalization program. Capture, create and distribute a permanent language preservation audio visual record to preserve some of the spoken languages and historical information of the region with podcast playlists. Our innovative open broadcaster automation systems contain support for Indigenous Languages and international dialects using a translation framework that fully supports UTF8\Unicode. Cloud radio automation computing using accessible online tools within the community, lets you decide how and where your organizations share material with a permissions grid for contributors. These are especially effective where internet is very expensive like in northern Arctic Rural Satellite Communities, so you can share with your community using a license exempted LPFM school radio station that can also be streamed online. Indigenous governments use our media players running open source play out automation software systems to operate license exempt community radio stations and manage slide shows on digital signage in admin building lobbies to present heritage pictures and videos for community members and visitors alike. This is particularly important, as Indigenous governments traditionally have a rich supply of heritage material they want to share, but are reluctant to do so on the internet because it can get cut and pasted, and disappear. Regional networks of digital signage display panels can be used as communication tools in public places by providing text based messages displaying local content from our video scheduling platform. For the cost of an Emergency Alerting System, indigenous groups can include emergency alerts in their localized dialects and regions.

The webinar focuses on the role of internal controls in real-time PCR-based pathogen identification. Real-time PCR is an ideal approach for many applications because it can detect viral RNA and DNA and bacterial DNA quickly and with great sensitivity. To increase process safety and correctly interpret negative results, the inclusion of an internal positive control is essential. Example data for several applications are presented, and Dr. Roth answers questions afterward.
The presentation covers:
Dr. Lillian Roth is a Lead Scientist in the Veterinary R&D team at QIAGEN. Dr. Roth holds a degree in Verterinary Medicine from the University of Leipzig and a PhD in Natural Science from the Technical University of Berlin. Before joining QIAGEN in 2009, she conducted research at the Free University of Berlin (Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Ruminant and Swine Clinic), the Federal Institute for Risk Assessment (Berlin), and the Technical University of Berlin (Faculty of Process Science and Engineering).

Great smells and great flavors plus genial conversation among friends and family make Thanksgiving the wonderful holiday that we all need and enjoy. Of course, politics and the outcome of football games always threaten a bit of friction; but they are nothing compared to the repast itself.
With all the bickering about yam versus sweet potato and the quarreling about that vegetable or fruit thing and the broccoli and cauliflower business — oh, and turkey squabbles! — food can bring a lot of discord to the holiday meal.
A minicourse on food awareness can do much to maintain tranquility at the dinner table.
To begin, you must understand that as the traditional Thanksgiving dinner has evolved over the last century about 60 different plants now contribute one comestible or another to the meal. A regional taste for chilies or okra, ethnic preferences and family favorites can boost the plant tally to almost 100 plant species.
On that list, yams and sweet potatoes account for two plants whereas broccoli and cauliflower account for only one.
Though they are both underground food-storage structures for their parent plants, yams belong to one family — Dioscoreaceae, the yam family — and sweet potatoes belong to a completely different and dramatically unrelated family — Convolvulaceae, the morning-glory family. Yams are monocots, meaning the seedlings bear one leaf; sweet-potatoes are dicots, meaning the seedlings bear two leaves. In botany the difference is a really big deal.
In contrast, broccoli and cauliflower are merely horticultural strains of the same plant species. Reflect on Chihuahuas and golden retrievers being very different despite both being dogs and the broccoli-cauliflower thing will make sense. Eventually.
Back in 1883 Congress passed a tariff act that affected the cost of importing fruits and vegetables. The question arose whether the tomato was a fruit or a vegetable, a question relevant to paying or not paying the tariff. The resolution became a court case.
In 1893 the Supreme Court, citing public perception, unanimously proclaimed the tomato to be a vegetable. By circumventing botanical knowledge, the Supreme Court confirmed that biologically illiterate people can rise to positions of authority where they can be dumb as rocks and still get paid.
In the reality that escapes politicians and Supreme Court justices, a fruit is the mature ovary of a flower and contains the plant's seeds. Because a tomato is a mature ovary with seeds inside, it is a fruit. The same can be said of cucumbers, corn, green beans, green peppers, squash and several other foods usually misconstrued as vegetables.
Which brings us to turkeys, a bird some people believe came to North America with the colonists and a bird most people believe to be as dumb as a Supreme Court justice. (They aren't.)
Actually, the world's two turkey species — the wild turkey and the ocellated turkey — originally occurred only in the New World. Spaniards took the wild turkey back to Spain; once domesticated, it became a locally common poultry species around Europe.
Colonists eventually brought wild turkeys back to their homeland. The ocellated turkey, a subtropical to tropical species, has never succumbed to popular or widespread domestication.
These are the facts. May they help you avoid any holiday food fights.

▀▄ eas | smartTV, smartTOP, and remoteKEY+ -= FREE INSTALL =-
For the month of May, eas will be giving forum members FREE INSTALLATION on ANY mods4cars items available for your BMW!
The remoteKEY project was something we introduced that dates back to 2007 on BMW 3-series models, which allowed specific convenience features such as the following:
- Remote window control
- Automatic door unlocking when ignition is turned off
- All windows can be closed One-Touch with the wide "All-Windows" button in the driver's door.
- Remote Fold-in Mirrors (if equipped)
As many already know, EU models seem to keep the cool features while US models feel a bit left out in the cold, likely due to liability concerns, among other matters. Rather than create a whole different module, we felt the features would be best suited integrated into an existing product.
- Full factory alarm confirmation chirp/flashing corners/blinking mirror/LED emulation
- Remote window control: One-Touch operation of the windows and sunroof with the original remote on all models (US and Euro)
- Automatic door unlocking when ignition is turned off. Avoid having to pull the door handles twice to get out
- Comfort windows: All windows can be closed One-Touch with the wide "All-Windows" button in the driver's door.
- User programmable: The module can be individually enabled or disabled. All settings are retained even if the car battery is disconnected.
- Remote Fold-in Mirrors (if equipped). remoteKEY will fold in your mirrors on alarm activation.
- Shop/Diagnose mode: If activated the module is completely passive, as if it was not installed at all. It becomes invisible to diagnostic tools.
- End user upgradeable via integrated USB port
- Setting 1 allows remote operation of the windows and the sunroof by using the original factory remote fob: Press and hold UNLOCK for 2 seconds: Open all windows
- Press and hold LOCK for 2 seconds: Close all windows
- Press and hold UNLOCK for 5 seconds: Open windows and sunroof
- Press and hold LOCK for 5 seconds: Close windows and sunroof
Best of all, remoteKEY+ can be installed in approximately 45 minutes with no coding/activation required from your dealer. For those with leased vehicles, the module can easily be removed with no trace of installation.

Brittany Climate & Weather
Brittany has a warm, temperate climate with frequent rainfall and wet weather. Sunny, cloudless days are also common throughout the year. The summer months see temperatures rise as high as 86°F (30°C). Winter is wet and mild with average daytime temperatures reaching 42°F (6°C). Summers don't get as hot as in some other areas of France, just as the winters don't get as cold. The spring and autumn seasons are changeable and the weather can be unpredictable. Spring and autumn tend to get the most stormy weather.
Some of Brittany's best hotels and restaurants are closed during the winter months, so the best time to visit is April through October. It is best to avoid August, the hottest month of the year and the French national holiday, because the region becomes overcrowded and more expensive. Whatever the season, visitors should take along a foul-weather jacket to stay comfy in the capricious coastal climate.

We are looking for contributors for our Brittany travel guide. If you are a local, a regular traveller to Brittany or a travel professional with time to contribute and answer occasional forum questions, please contact us.

Experts said other explanations were possible for the incident Saturday in the southern state of Tamil Nadu.
The impact of the object left a five-foot-deep crater in the ground, according to the Times of India, and shattered window panes in a nearby building, killing the driver who was walking past.
The object weighed only 11 grammes, the newspaper added, about as heavy as a AAA battery.
Images in local media showed a blueish rock, which Tamil Nadu's Chief Minister Jayalalithaa Jayaram described as a "meteorite"—although scientists say this has not yet been proved.

Astros add Dennis Martinez, Eduardo Perez to complete coaching staff
Also announce Tony DeFrancesco to return as OKC Manager
HOUSTON, TX - The Houston Astros have hired former All-Star pitcher Dennis Martinez as bullpen coach and former Major League first baseman and coach Eduardo Perez as bench coach, General Manager Jeff Luhnow announced today.
With the addition of Martinez and Perez, new Astros manager Bo Porter's Major League coaching staff is now complete. The rest of the Astros coaching staff will be as follows: Doug Brocail (pitching coach); Dave Clark (first base coach); Dave Trembley (third base coach); John Mallee (hitting coach).
"With the addition of Eduardo and Dennis, we have assembled a group of teachers and coaches that will give our players the best chance to contribute to their maximum potential," Porter said.
Martinez, who had been a pitching coach in the St. Louis Cardinals system for the past six seasons, won 245 games in his outstanding Major League career, a total that ranks first among Latin American-born pitchers. He appeared in four All-Star Games and led the American League in wins in 1981. While pitching for the Montreal Expos on July 28,1991 at Dodger Stadium, he hurled baseball's 13th perfect game in a 2-0 victory. Overall, Martinez pitched 23 seasons in the Majors (1976-1998).
Martinez, who is from Nicaragua, is currently serving as manager of the Nicaraguan team that will be playing in the qualifying round for the upcoming World Baseball Classic. He had been the pitching coach for the Palm Beach Cardinals (A) for the past two seasons (2011-12). He also served stints as pitching coach for the Cardinals Double A affiliate in Springfield and for their Gulf Coast League club. Martinez, 57, also served as a special assistant for the Orioles prior to joining the Cardinals organization.
"Dennis has an impressive track record as a Major League pitcher and now has six years of coaching experience under his belt," Luhnow said. "He has a unique ability to inspire pitchers and give them the confidence they need to succeed at the highest level."
Perez has both playing and coaching experience in the Majors and has also had success as a manager in Latin America. He currently is serving as manager of the Columbian team that is preparing for the qualifying round for the upcoming World Baseball Classic, which will be the same tournament Martinez' Nicaraguan team will compete in. Perez previously had success as manager of the Ponce Lions in the Puerto Rico Winter League for two seasons (2008-09), earning Manager of the Year honors in 2008 and also guiding the Lions to the Caribbean Series in 2009.
Perez, who is the son of Hall of Famer Tony Perez, most recently had been the hitting coach for the Florida Marlins since June 8, 2011. Prior to that, he had served as a special assistant to the baseball operations department for the Cleveland Indians, a role which included considerable time in uniform providing instruction at the Major League and minor league levels. Perez played parts of 13 seasons (1993-2006) in the Major Leagues with the Angels, Reds, Cardinals, Rays, Indians and Mariners. Following his playing career, he spent several seasons as a baseball analyst for ESPN, working the postseason and for Baseball Tonight.
About Perez, Luhnow commented, "Eduardo has a deep knowledge of the game which stems from his childhood growing up around the game, his days as a college player, a minor league player, a Major League player for over a decade, as a broadcaster and as a coach at the big league level."
DeFRANCESCO TO RETURN AS OKC MANAGER
Luhnow also announced today that Tony DeFrancesco would return for a third season as manager of the Oklahoma City RedHawks. DeFrancesco had been the RedHawks manager since the start of the 2011 season before being named the Astros interim manager on August 19, replacing Brad Mills.
The RedHawks showed solid improvement in 2012, finishing with a 78-65 mark on the season, just 1.5 games out of first place in the Pacific Coast League's Southern Division. Tom Lawless, who had been serving as the Astros roving infield instructor, managed the RedHawks after DeFrancesco was named Astros manager.

Informatics & Modeling
CERTIFICATE DESCRIPTIONSharing analytical approaches and ways of thinking between disciplines can lead to important advances.
Analytical approaches using informatics and modeling are becoming increasingly important in many fields of study, and much of the curriculum is increasingly emphasizing these approaches. The Certificate Program provides a framework to guide students in developing these analytical skills based on the following two pathways:
- Computational Science and Quantitative World Modeling (CSM)
- Integrative Genomic Sciences (IGS)
The certificate, analogous to a minor at other institutions, provides an excellent complement to many of our majors including our science majors. As part of your transcript, the certificate program will indicate your interest and skills in informatics and modeling methods of analysis.
Program requirements are described in the links for the CSM and IGS pathways.

long distance speed increase methods
I've been skating for about 11 years recently. I started skating late at twenty four. Skated all over Texas and San Francisco. Then joined the navy, got married had a kid, then when I was 51 I started up again. Now I am 62 and last week I did 28 miles on skates.
I plan to do longer distances, problem is I am slow I average between 5 and 8 mph. There are marathoners in my club who do 22mph when they are racing.
I'd like to increase my speed, just so I can get through those miles a little quicker.
What exercises and techniques can I use to increase speed with out damaging myself?

Grab one of those, roll your back, ribs and spend time on the hips and the IT band, then the quads (do both at once) and then kneel on the sucker and do your shins.
Loosen the muscles that you are now accumulating, before skating.
Basically, you want to drop your butt more so you can increase your stroke, time on skates and loosining the muscles will make your stride longer and increase your speed, and the roller is great for loosining muscles, strengthening ligaments and tendons and recovering from workouts.

You may want to pick up a slide board. Its a good way to simulate outdoor skating when you cant skate outdoors.
Dryland exercises are also great. Here are some basic exercises: https://youtu.be/FZmljgGyIGw.
Google dryland skating for more. At 62, you may not want to do a lot of plyometrics, or jumping exercises, unless youre used to them.

Skate hills.
You will build strength and power going up.
Going down (assuming it isn't very steep) gives you the opportunity to use those long, low strides that you may not have the strength yet to employ effectively on the flats. It also lets you get used to going fast. It is not the same as going slow.

My hill is pretty gentle and not very long, but at first I couldn't really skate up it - it was more of a walk in skates. When I could glide a bit as I skated up the hill, it was a big victory.
Another thing that I find myself doing is not really pushing. I'll just be letting my feet slide out to the side but not pushing hard. When I concentrate on pushing, my speed increases rather a lot (and so does my effort, of course). I'm trying to gradually increase the strength of my pushes and the length of time I push hard as my fitness improves.
When I started skating outdoors a couple of years ago, I was skating about 5-6 mph. Now I'm up to 9-10 mph for 5-7 miles at a time.

How to determine effective tire diameter
I'm working out transmission speedo gearing for my car. You need the tire circumference (or diameter) to do the math. I measured tire diameter of unloaded tire - but, of course, the tire changes when loaded so the effective tire circumference (or radius @ ground) changes. Is there a rule of thumb on difference between effective tire radius/circumference and unloaded circumference?
Not enough to make a difference, I am sure.......................I think you are overanalysing this.
> Is there a rule of thumb on difference between effective tire >radius/circumference and unloaded circumference?
Tire manufacturers often specify revolutions per mile at a specific speed in their spec charts. If your tires are a readily available popular size, that could be of help. I just looked at B F Goodrich's website and they give the revs per mile at 45 mph. If your size isn't listed, try doing a "roll out" measurement. Mark the tire and move the car until the tire has made about 10 revolutions and divide the distance by number of revs to get an average circumference. Divide by pi to get the effective diameter.
Or, you could go to the tirerack site and plug your
tire size and make in, it'll tell you how many revs
per mile...
Well, maybe I am over-analyzing but I'm an engineer and I can't help it! Anyway, I made some measurements. The effective radius of the tire will be the distance from the center of the axle to the ground. It's pretty easy to measure the amount of tire deflection between loaded and unloaded and you can calculate the % difference in effective circumference. For the tires on my '65 - I have low aspect ratio tires - 225/40 18s - they deflect 3/8in when loaded. This results in a 3% error. I would think 70 series tires would have larger deflection so the error would be greater - maybe 5%?
Looking on the tire rack site for same tire dimension the revs/mile calculates to be 4% greater than what you would get using the diameter of the tire.
My 15" 70 series Yokohamas are stated to be 26.9" diameter, or 13.45" radius. When mounted on the car, I measured from the center of the wheel to the ground and got a radius of only 12.75", an effective diameter of 25.5". That's a 5.2% reduction.
At speed they might expand a little from centrifugal force, but I don't know if it is significant.
I think this is an exercise in futility.
I think the circumference of the tire doesn't change enough to matter. I really doubt that it "grows" like a dragster tire, and even with a flat spot where it contacts the ground, I think the circumference stays essentially the same.
A 225/40 18 tire should have a diameter in the 25" range.
(225 X.40 X 2 divided by 25.4 + 18 = 25.086")
25.086 X 3.1416 = 78.80" circumference.
Jack a tire off the ground and measure the circumference and see how close it is.
Just my opinion,
(In the late fifties, my 8 to 5 job was sitting in front of a mechanical Friden calculator, calculating miles per gallon and acceleration for Chrysler Corporation products. Surprisingly, I didn't find it all that boring.)
Well, maybe I am over-analyzing but I'm an engineer and I can't help it!
I hear that, but if no one else cares enough and the numbers stated are only close to apporoximation, then your precise measurement's are still wrong.
Well, I agree the best way is to do it on the road while rolling. Once I get the transmission back in the car, I'll do that for these tires and see what I get. I also agree that if you are changing tire sizes and want to know the effect on your speedo - comparing undeformed circumferences is fine. The only time it may matter is when you are doing something from scratch and trying to calcluate what speedometer gears to put in your transmission - and even then we're only talking 3-5%.
But, since we are having fun and debating angels on pins...
The tangential velocity of any point about a center of rotation is the product of the distance from the center and the angular velocity. That is the radius x rotation rate in rad/sec. The tangential acceleration is radius x angular accel in rad^2/sec. The radial accel, that is the acceleration required to keep it moving in a circle is radius x angular accel squared. (This is the term which results in drag tires ballooning out when spinning fast.
When a tire is deflected by load the perimeter length of the tire does decrease from the undeflected perfect circle. The rubber deforms as it goes through the contact patch. The tangential velocity of a tread block going around the undeflected part is actually a little faster than it's speed when it's directly underneath the axle. The reason is the distance from where the tire touches the pavement at the front straight back to where it leaves the pavement is a little shorter than arc of an undeflected tire (draw an arc and connect ends with straight line - the straight line is shorter than the arc). All this deformation takes energy and it ends up as heat. Which I understand is why under-inflated tires degrade gas mileage. I've also heard that this generated heat is one of the reasons tires can fail at very high speeds as the tire construction can't disapate the heat and it weakens. I assume radial acceleration forces also play a part in that.
I'm sure more than any of you wanted - but long story short. It looks like the tire deformation does matter a litte and I assume that this is why tire manuf. spec both a circumference and a revs/mile - and they don't match doing straight math.
Then car weight, tire pressure, rim width, acceleration forces will all have an effect. Not to mention tire manufacturer tolerence. These will need to be taken for consideration. Testing on said car will be the most accurate way.
God forbid the tire gets low...
Step away from the pencil....
Kidding really
I suppose you could check this out by comparison rollouts with 10 psi and 50 psi. Again, they might not come out EXACTLY the same, but they'll be a whole lot closer than road surface to axle centerline differences would dictate.
In short, give this a lot of thought before you decide to disagree with the way the industry handles its performance calculations.
Well, as I said it was just for fun. I got interested in the math and kinematics and you can actually calculate the velocity and position of a tire element... wait - as Johngrass1 said - put down the pencil, step away from the paper...
Billyshope - I think I do understand your point, I just didn't agree and was attempting to explain why. And believe me, I would never think of disagreeing with the industry. In fact, thought I was just discussing it with you!
Regardless, I did what all good nerds do when faced with a problem - I Googled it. This is not a new question and people have made careers out of tire mechanics and dynamics. (Check out http://www.mathworks.com/access/help...rive/tire.html) The net is that "Rolling Circumference" (ie. the distance a loaded tire rolls in one rev) is not the same as the unloaded tire circumference. The difference is due to the tire deflection under load. There are plenty of references and papers on this. Alot of patents, papers on estimating tire pressure by monitoring changes in rolling circumference.
This one from Continental Tire. " Deflation Detection System (DDS). DDC identifies a loss of pressure indirectly, using data from the wheel speed sensors of the electronic braking system because when a tire loses pressure its rolling circumference decreases."
The clearest answer was from a tire expert answering the same question.
There are a couple of things that complicate the "circumference" of tires.
1) There are "calculators" that will calculate the circumference (diameter) of a tire based on the tire size. Use a search engine with the key words "tire calculator"
2) These "calculators" give you an answer based on the "size", which is different than the actual physical dimensions. Said another way, a P205/65R15 does not
actually have to be 205 mm wide and have an aspect ratio of 65%. There is quite a bit of variability in the market
3) The actual circumference (diameter) of a free hanging (not touching anything) tire is different than the rolling circumference (Rolling diameter) because the tire deflects
under load. Different inflation pressures and different loads will affect the rolling circumference, but as a general rule a properly inflation and properly loaded tire will have a rolling circumference about 97% of the free hanging circumference - a 3% difference.
4) The difference in circumference between tires will have a minor effect compared to other factors. Rolling resistance greatly affects fuel economy, so acceleration is also affected and rolling resistance varies from tire to tire. However, a change in rolling circumference of a tire acts in a similar way as a change in final drive gearing.
Hope this helps.

So, if you really care - you need to adjust unloaded circumference by about 3%. However, now that I know - I don't care anymore!
Thanks for the responses!
Ed aka "Bob Goodyear"
Adjustable electronic speedometers are nice!
Again, we're talking about very small differences, but, when a couple of engineers start talking about this sort of thing, the methods of analysis become far more significant than the magnitudes of the parameters involved.
Yes, loading and tire pressure affect the rolling circumference of a tire. This is why I said the measured circumference of a tire on the tire changing machine is "essentially the same" as it is in operation. As Barry points out, that "essentially the same" is expressed as a 3% difference. The strains involved in load and air pressure would also affect the rolling circumference. This is why I said that the rollout results with 10 and 50 psi would not be "EXACTLY" the same.
But, the point I was trying to get across is that these differences are NOT the result of the very obvious flattening of the tire at the footprint. Again, the 10 and 50 psi rollout tests would clearly show this. While I would expect a small difference in results (from the sources discussed in the preceding paragraph), it would be nowhere near the difference expected if the rolling radius was assumed to be the vertical distance from roadway to axle centerline.
This vertical distance from roadway to axle centerline comes into play, however, when calculating acceleration. Barry mentions the gearing effect of a change in rolling circumference ("However, a change in rolling circumference of a tire acts in a similar way as a change in final drive gearing."), but this is a small effect compared to the deformation of the tire at the footprint. In other words, the radius change from the change in rolling circumference could never account for the deflection at the footprint.
A common error...yes, even in "the industry"...is to use the wheel revolutions per mile data from the proving grounds and then calculate the radius for use in acceleration calculations. This is commonly found in SAE papers. Well, I shouldn't call this an "error." We're talking about such small differences that the familiar term "accurate within engineering accuracy" is more than sufficient.

A Walk Down Memory Lane
But to all who believed him and accepted him, he gave the right to become children of God. (John 1:12 NLT)
Beloved, I'm writing to you today from my position of being God's child. His love guides me to thank you for praying during the celebration of the 50th Anniversary of my Uncle M.L.'s I HAVE A DREAM and The March on Washington. Please visit FRONTLINES to see a photo collection of what I'm calling my "private civil rights tour" for about three weeks, culminating on 8/28. It started at the hosts JC Watts and Charles and Kay James, founders of the Gloucester Institute at a civil rights summit with friends at the historic Moton Home where I sat under the very old tree where MLK worked on his famous IHAD speech.
Next, after a brief visit home it was on to PFL and then to Virginia for a strategy session and to a live performance of two very different stage plays, "Menopause" (a hoot indeed) and "Noah" with the incomparable God breathed Sight and Sound Production Company. My hosts, the founders of the "Women's Refreshing Conference" also took me to the Gettysburg Museum.
Then to DC for the 50th Celebration. There, the highlights for me were speeches by my cousin Bernice King, sitting on the front row with Father Frank Pavone who also appeared on the Interfaith Program. The Willard Hotel hosted a fabulous Commemorative Gospel Concert, and my mother spoke at a youth conference.
Stay tuned for the release of a song I wrote, LET FREEDOM RING, remixed in honor of the occasion.
Coming in 2014 is the 50th Anniversary of the Civil Rights Act so KEEP PRAYING!
God bless you and thanks again.

Boots Hansen of Boots & Coots Inc. In March, 1991, heads of the three Texas oil well fire fighting companies made their first trip to Kuwait to survey the damage of the burning oil fields set ablaze by retreating Iraqi troops in February. Here in the Al Burgan field in mid afternoon, it was as dark as a moonless night due to the heavy thick smoke. The only light came from the more than 300 flaming oil wells and the truck headlights. It was raining soot and unburned oil. It was estimated that 5 or 6 million barrels of oil were being lost every day in this field alone. Huge oil lakes were forming.

On Sunday afternoon, October 30, in observance of National WABASH Day, a group of Parke County residents met at the Tilghman Howard family grave site in the Old Rockville Cemetery to level three large ten foot tall limestone monuments, which were leaning precariously. With help from two large steel pry bars for lifting, eight five gallon buckets of gravel were crammed beneath the three monuments, thereby leveling them.
Historians have called Tilghman Howard Parke County's most famous citizen. He died in Texas in 1844, while serving as the United States Representative in negotiating Statehood for the Republic of Texas.
Tilghman Howard was a Trustee of Wabash College from 1833 to 1843. Howard Counties in Indiana and Iowa, as well as Howard Township in Parke County, were named after him. His sons served with Indiana regiments in the Civil War. Tilghman Jr. was killed in the battle at Uniontown, Kentucky in 1862.
Representing the Parke County Cemetery Restoration Commission were Karen Lewis (mother of Jim Lewis, Wabash '88) and Jim Wilcox, while alumni Jason Surber '92, John Asbury '75 and Craig Green '59 represented Wabash College.
As a further note, the Wabash alums gratefully paused twenty-two feet away at the grave of Lee McCanliss, a Wabash 1907 graduate, Trustee President (1940-1955) and successful Wall Street lawyer. He left an Endowment honoring his mother, Sarah, to Wabash College which has provided for almost forty years and continues to provide scholarships to Wabash students from Parke County.

GULLANE, Scotland — Gary McCord, excommunicated by The Masters for suggesting on CBS in 1994 that the 17th green at Augusta National was so fast it must have been bikini-waxed, would have had fun with Muirfield on Thursday.
But in his absence, the Open Championship's course-setup people from the Royal & Ancient had to settle for Ian Poulter and Phil Mickelson.
"Unfortunately the guys this afternoon will struggle with a few pin positions. 8th hole is a joke, 18th needs a windmill & clown face," Poulter wrote on his Twitter account, after shooting 72 in conditions that resembled, if not a bikini-wax job, at least linoleum laid over top of a bumpy floor.
"We (meaning the R&A) have got to let go of our ego sometimes, and just set the course up the way the best players can win," said Mickelson, who actually got it around Muirfield's 7,192 yards of undulating freeways in two-under-par 69 — three behind first-round leader Zach Johnson but tied for ninth with, among many others, Tiger Woods.
"I got very lucky to play early today, because as the day wore on and we got to the back nine, about a third of every green started to die and became brown and the pins were very edgy, on slopes and whatnot. Playing early at least gave us a fighting chance. I don't expect anyone to beat the lead from the morning wave, I just don't think it's possible."
Well, he was almost wrong about that.
India's Shiv Kapur, a 31-year-old from Delhi via Purdue University — "I'm a Midwestern guy," he once joked — was playing in the fourth-from-last group and had half the golf world scrambling for Google to find out who he was after he birdied six of the first seven holes and, as late as 6:30 in the evening, was leading the Open at six-under.
A double-bogey at the 10th got him going the wrong way and by day's end, he was two shots behind the opening 66 of Johnson, in a five-way tie for fourth and it was, indeed, all early starters at the top.
But on the main point, the critics weren't wrong. Not that Muirfield's turf is in danger of actually dying — even the parts Harry Colt added in his 1928 re-do are 85 years old, and have survived droughts and rainy seasons galore. And not that there haven't been plenty of Open layouts turn from pale green to yellow to brown to grey by Sunday. But indisputably, the course could use a drink, and so could many of those who came off it looking as if they'd been sucking lemons Thursday, though not everyone was sour.
"I don't know how many Opens I've played in, but I think this is about 27 or 28, and I've seen the most horrendous conditions you can think about playing golf in out there … and I didn't see it being unfair," said 1998 champ Mark O'Meara, who shot a cool little 67 at age 56 to sit tied for second with Spain's Rafael Cabrera-Bello, one stroke behind Johnson and one ahead of Kapur, Dustin Johnson, Brandt Snedeker and two more old-timers, 1996 champion Tom Lehman, 54, and Miguel Angel Jimenez, 49.
So apparently, there were various ways to get the ball in the hole.
"I've heard some of the comments of some of the players. I understand the course is dry. It's firm. It's fast. So I guess if I had shot 8-over I might come in and tell you guys it was unfair, but I just didn't see that," said O'Meara who completed the first nine in five-under-par 31 and got a thumbs-up from Woods, who was just about ready to tee off.
"It's so fiery out there. It's hard to wrap your mind around it at times," said Woods, who hadn't played since the U.S. Open, where he injured his elbow.
He didn't make the first page of the leaderboard, but only because there wasn't room for a fifth name below those of Mickelson, 2004 champion Todd Hamilton, Angel Cabrera and 19-year-old Jordan Speith.
The weather was spectacular, as it's been for a few weeks here, with just enough breeze to make club selection a point of discussion and exacerbate a slight mis-hit.
But the golf course that started the morning in a forgiving mood got harder and faster as the day went on, and by noon players were consistently zooming putts well past the hole. By late afternoon, some putts were terrifying.
Woods, who made a nice recovery from an opening bogey when he feared he might have lost his tee shot in the high hay, putted his ball clean off the 14th green.
"The best putter that's ever played the game just putted it off the green. I rest my case," Poulter tweeted.
And the usual stories about links golf emerged.
Dustin Johnson shot a 68 that included an eagle at the par-five 17th, where he hit his approach shot 230 yards with a seven-iron. The conditions are right up his alley, he said.
"Off a lot of these tees, on even the long par-fours, I just hit 3-iron," he said. "The ball is just going so far once it gets on the ground. A little low 3-iron is going further than a 3-wood up in the air. Bubba (Watson) hit one driver, I hit one driver, Nick (Watney) didn't hit any."
Zach Johnson, on the other hand, one of the game's straightest (if shortest) drivers, hit his six times.
"I know a lot of guys are saying there's not many drivers out here, which, relative to long golf courses or a major, for that matter, there probably isn't," said the 2007 Masters winner, last week's runner up in the John Deere Classic. "But it's one of my best clubs, so I'm going to take advantage of that when I can."
Jimenez, the ponytailed, cigar-smoking Spaniard, wasn't going to be drawn into the discussion about the state of Muirfield.
Asked if these were the hardest, fastest conditions he'd ever played in an Open — comparable perhaps to 2003 at Royal St. George's or 2006 at Hoylake — Jimenez said: "How do you keep so many things in your head? I can't remember who I played with today."
Like O'Meara, he was five-under after nine.
"One under par is good. More under par, more good. But five-under on the first nine is like nice," he said. "I always say the same thing. I feel happy."
Cabrera-Bello was happy, too. On the 25th anniversary of Seve Ballesteros's Open victory at Royal Lytham, he's given Spain a second possibility this week.
"Definitely there is very good camaraderie between all the Spanish guys," he said. "It's something that makes it very enjoyable, our life on the Tour. We go out to dinner every night together. Not necessarily that Miguel is the captain — because we call Olazabal our captain — but jokes aside (Jimenez) is a very big part of the team, or the Spanish Armada, however you want to catalogue it."

'The Bachelor' Stars Juan Pablo Galavis + Nikki Ferrell Join 'Couples Therapy' Castby Maggie Malach | PopCrush
Just when you thought the latest 'Bachelor,' Juan Pablo Galavis, and his girlfriend Nikki Ferrell were ready to ride off into the sunset, news has broken that the couple is seeking counseling. And not just any form of relationship advice. The duo is returning to reality TV as part of the cast of 'Couples Therapy'!
E! confirmed that Juan Pablo and Nikki joined the fifth season of the VH1 show, which just started filming. The news is especially surprising, given that the 'Bachelor' couple wasn't mentioned in the season five cast announcement.
"It's true, they're doing it," a source tells E!. "The reason it wasn't put in the press release is due to Juan Pablo's deal with ABC. It's not up until August, so, contractually, it can't be mentioned until then."
Other celebrity pairs appearing in the upcoming season of 'Couples Therapy' include: adult film star Jenna Jameson and John Wood, Big Brother's Dick "Evil Dick" Donato and Stephanie Rogness-Fischer, Naughty by Nature's Anthony "Treach" Criss and Cicely Evans, and Deena Cortese and Chris Buckner of 'Jersey Shore.'
The fifth season of 'Couples Therapy' premieres Sept. 10 on VH1.

"Jackass" star Bam Margera faces the woman accused of beating him into bloody submission right outside his West Chester, Pa., bar earlier this month. He's due in court Thursday to testify against her.
Elizabeth Ray, known as "Ms. Liz" to neighbors, has complained for years about the noise outside Bam's bar, The Note, according to a witness. And Bam's mom says she's pretty sure her son has been paying Ms. Liz to settle her nerves. She's 59 and lives with her mom right behind the club.
"All I'll say is, my mother has owned this house for 60 years and she will not be disturbed," Ray told The Philadelphia Inquirer.
Around closing time on Saturday, June 12, Ms. Liz allegedly beat Bam on the head with a bat or a pipe right outside the club. TMZ.com posted pictures of Bam, 30, on a stretcher in the middle of the street with his head between cushions.
A witness says Bam hurled a racial slur at Ray before he got whacked. Bam admits to Philadelphia Daily News columnist Dan Gross that he used the "b-word" but not the "n-word."
"I called her a crazy bitch and an idiot, but I definitely didn't use the n-word,"
Ray's charged with aggravated assault and related offenses.
The beating sent Margera to the intensive care unit with a severe concussion. Expect testimony to be anything but bland.

Tomei 173010 ARMS B8446 Turbine Kit Nissan SR20DET S14/S15
Tomei began operations in 1968 as a race car tuner in Japan. Over the last 40 years Japan has emerged as one of the leaders in automotive research, racing, and culture. Tomei products have been utilized in nearly every motor sport imaginable. Tomei's racing heritage means their research and design team have first hand knowledge of the extreme demands racing puts on an engine. Using only the highest quality materials means that Tomei's products can handle the intense strain and heat a purpose built engine will experience whether it be on the street or the track. Tomei's attention to detail is second to none. All of their products are thoroughly researched and engineered to achieve optimal efficiency. Because of even miniscule differences in measurements can cause catastrophic engine failure, all Tomei products fall within strict tolerances. Tomei machines all of their engine components to enhance airflow and ensure proper fitment and seal.
Turbocharged cars have always been popular among automotive enthusiasts not only for their tremendous power and torque, but also for the great potential they hold for aftermarket tuning. Turbocharged engines can gain a lot of power from simple modifications, and the complexity of the turbo system combined with ECU tuning gives you a tremendous amount of latitude when building an engine. But there comes a point where you reach the limits of the factory turbocharger. To really reach the next level of performance an upgrade to aftermarket turbochargers is necessary. A factory turbo isn't built with performance in mind. Many sacrifices are made to reduce costs, which can hurt performance.
In ARMS series, every single parts required for assembly including gasket are in the kit for convenience. The biggest bolt on turbine ever. Actuator management achieved violently high output with quick response character. The flange is also corresponding to the stock exhaust manifold and enables to keep its cost low.

The focus of the DNR ATV Education Program is to provide an education course that reduces the rate of accidents, injuries, property damage, and fatalities, while at the same time promoting the development of environmental stewards by educating our students about environmental concerns, energy conservation and proper maintenance of ATVs, and promoting the practice of only riding in legal areas and with landowner permission.
There are three ways that residents can earn an education certificate:
DNR ATV Education Program Skills Course
This is a rider-based course and is approximately 4-6 hours in length. It is designed to be completed in one day, usually on a weekend. It is a program designed to teach ATV riders the principles and behaviors of safe and responsible ATV riding. Students are taught about risk awareness and risk mitigation, trail etiquette, and principles of being a good environmental steward. The riding portion of the course provides students with hands-on practice in the areas of steering, braking, swerving, maneuvering over obstacles, and how to react to and ride safely with other riders on the trails.
Students must provide their own properly-sized ATV with proper muffling equipment, a helmet, eye protection, over-the-ankle boots, long pants, a long-sleeve shirt, water, a snack, and rain gear as classes are held rain or shine.
Students must be able to safely demonstrate all of the skills taught in the class in order to earn their education certificate. A written exam is not part of this course.
Classes are taught by DNR-certified volunteer ATV education instructors. The cost of the class is $25.00. Students will receive a temporary education certificate at the end of the course which will allow them to legally ride in Iowa until their permanent card is received.
Education certificates will only be issued to students who are 12 or older and pass the course. Students who are 11 may take the course and earn a certificate, but it will not be effective until he or she turns 12.
Classes are offered between late April/early May until the end of August/early September. Upcoming Courses:
When: Saturday, October 13, 2018Where: Bailys Ford County Park, 2379 Jefferson Road, Manchester, IowaTime: Class starts at 9 AMCourse Fee: $25.00; Lunch is provided.What to bring: properly sized ATV, helmet, goggles, water, snacks Registration: JIm Willey @ 563-920-0911Course is sponsored by RTT ATV/UTV Club of Delaware County
ATV Safety Institute (ASI) Course
This is a rider-based course offered by ASI-certified instructors. ASI is a nonprofit operating division of the Specialty Vehicle Institute of America (SVIA), which was formed in 1988 to implement an expanded national program of ATV safety education and awareness. The primary goal of ASI mirrors the DNR's goal to promote the safe and responsible use of ATVs, thereby reducing accidents and injuries that may result from the improper operation of ATVs. The primary difference between the two programs is the age and machine size restrictions enforced by ASI.
To register for the ATV RiderCourse®, contact the ASI Enrollment Express hotline at (800) 887-2887. To speak with a national representative about ATV safety, call (800) 852-5344. For more information on the ASI ATV RiderCourse® and for interactive safety information, log onto www.atvsafety.org.
The DNR has collaborated with Fresh Air Educators to make an online certification offering available for the ATV Education Program. The curriculum underwent a thorough review with industry leaders as well as representatives from numerous state agencies responsible for ATV safety education. State-specific information regarding riding opportunities, laws, and regulations is a component of the course.
This is a managed course which features interactive exercises for students as well as narrated content to assist with different learning styles. The study guide is free to all users, as well as Chapter 1 of the course. In order to progress past Chapter 1, students will be required to register for the course. The course fee is $34.95, which includes the $5 DNR fee for the education certificate. Students must pass a chapter quiz in order to progress to the next chapter and must pass a final exam with 80% accuracy to earn their certificate. There is no riding component for this course.
Topics covered by the course include, but are not limited to, parts of the machine and how they work, riding positions and when to use them, safety gear, personal responsibility, and conservation principles.
Upon successful completion of the course, students will be able to print a temporary, paper certificate which will allow them to legally ride in Iowa until their permanent card is received. Students must be 12 or older to earn their ATV education certificate through ATVCourse.com.
More Information:
For information about the program or to receive assistance with locating a class, please contact Rhonda Fowler, ATV Education Coordinator, at 515-725-8490 or email@example.com.

About this Course
In this project, we're going to build a weather app together and broaden our understanding of Swift and iOS frameworks. We will start by learning foundational concepts like networking and concurrency while building on our existing knowledge of data modeling, view models and more. We'll even take a look at how we can structure our code better and construct decoupled classes and structs that lead to greater code reuse. Let's get started!

My favorite mobile games are those that pull me in so quickly that a week passes by before I notice I'm spending every idle moment with my iPad gripped in my hands playing the damn thing. Games like Draw Something and Scramble With Friends have been my mobile game drugs for the past few weeks.
But then there are games that pull me in for their music. Or their art. These are games I can appreciate on a level that I typically reserve for larger game platforms. Every once in awhile, I won't play a game for its gameplay necessarily. I'll play it to relive an inspired environment.
That's exactly why I play Star Sloth. The game itself isn't a hard concept to grasp. You slide your fingers in the direction where you want to hit moving objects. What makes that mechanic great is that you're actually a cute, lazy, sleepy sloth riding on a rocket in space. And the moving objects you're shooting at are floating astronauts, or destructive objects like explosive and electrocuting mines. Oh, and the thing you're shooting out is a cheeseburger (or a veggie burger if you're into that kinda thing).
Along the way you might be confronted by your "#1 fan" who is basically your cheeseburger delivery route groupie. She bugs you with questions unless you shoot cheeseburgers at her spaceship. You might also encounter a burger burglar who will abduct cheeseburgers if you're not careful.
The game is, as you can probably tell, silly. I love silly. But while I'm giggling at the fact that I'm a sloth that's snoozing on a rocket, I'm also bobbing my head to the retro-inspired 8bit mixes and soothed by the purples and reds of the space clouds glittered with stars. As you rack up points you can buy new galaxies where you'll fly through cupcakes and cookies or explore the nuclei universe. Or you can choose to spend those points on a watch or, hell, some brass knuckles for your sloth protagonist.
Like I said, pretty silly.

Florida Senate Rules Committee set to hear family law bills
Proposals could change alimony, custody agreements
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Two new proposals could change the way family law is handled in Florida.
Senate Bill 718 and House Bill 231 would eliminate permanent alimony in most Florida cases and limit the alimony to half the length of marriage.
The proposed law would also split time with children equally between the two parents.
The legislation is drawing critics.
"They will destabilize families and send many of them into poverty," said Ashley Myers, a family law attorney.
Myers argues the new bills would create a one size fits all approach to family law. Meanwhile, attorney Keith Leigh says the measures would create a level playing field in a system that has long been biased toward women.
"What's that old song? 'She got the gold mine, I got the shaft?'" said Leigh. "Everybody knows in family law that the women have the edge going in."
"It creates a rebuttable presumption that a 50/50 timesharing is in the best interest of every child, in every circumstance regardless of their age, developmental needs, special needs," said Myers.
The changes would also be retroactive, which allow settlement agreements to be reopened and modified, meaning every contract that is currently set can change.
"It send a message to the public that you may not reasonably rely on your own contracts or court orders when making irrevocable life decisions," said Myers.
"It could potentially be a great victory for equality. The only people it would be bad for are people who have been living unfairly, living on alimony," said Leigh.
Regardless of what is decided by lawmakers, Leigh says the measures set the foundation for a more balanced application of family law.
"I do believe it's a huge first step to show people that, listen to these dads who aren't involved in lives because of judicial interference; we're not going to sit back and take it anymore," said Leigh.
The Senate Rules Committee is scheduled to hear the bills starting at 9 a.m. on Thursday.
