Richard M. Segel
BORN: November 11, 1940
Richard Segel was born in New York City to Herman and Marjorie (Zipser) Segel. He prepared for Yale at Scarsdale (NY) High School.
Richard was a member of Pierson, on its touch football team, and on the News Board, 1959-62, where he served as photographic chairman. He was a member of Dwight Hall and volunteered at Dixwell Community House (1960). He married Bette Ann Butler on June 10, 1961. She became a University of Massachusetts graduate.
Richard majored in Mechanical Engineering and was on Dean's list. He pursued his engineering studies and obtained his master's in engineering at Yale in 1965 and subsequently earned his MBA at University of Chicago in 1975.
His professional career included work as an engineer in several manufacturing firms. He began with Sikorsky Aircraft in the 1960s. He served as CEO of Pamanco Technologies and Dunmore Corporation, and in various positions with Rockwell International, Ferag, Inc. and president and founder of the Corporate Interview Network in Philadelphia.
His love for aviation and all things powered by combustion engines began when he was a young boy. His gentle spirit, strong intellect and wonderful sense of humor were welcome characteristics to so many loved ones. Richard could make friends anywhere. He loved his wife Bette dearly and was at her side with heart and love for 59 years of marriage.
He died at his home in Louisville, Colorado. Richard was predeceased by his son Richard (Yale '84), who passed away in 1988. He is survived by Bette, two children Eleanor and David (Yale Class of 1986), his brother Peter and five grandchildren.
Richard was a practicing Quaker and a member of Boulder Friends Meeting where his Memorial Service was held. He was buried at Green Mountain Cemetery in Boulder, Colorado.

A chain of events over the last month does not bode well for the continued existence of the no-credit-check, allegedly scammy computer purveyor BlueHippo. When the FTC found the company in contempt of its agreement to stop scamming people, Bluehippo's payment processor froze the company's funds with little notice. The company was unable to pay its bills and filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. Now, the company has changed to a Chapter 7 filing (liquidation) and will most likely go out of business.
BlueHippo had sought bankruptcy reorganization protection last month when its payment processor's bank unexpectedly blocked its funds, leaving the company unable to pay creditors. BlueHippo petitioned a Delaware bankruptcy court judge to allow the funds to be released to the company, but its request was denied on Dec. 2, according to court records.
Without access to the funds held by Checkgateway LLC, BlueHippo "will not be able to satisfy administrative expenses that will continue to accrue if these cases are maintained in Chapter 11 [reorganization]," according to the filing. The company has a bankruptcy court hearing on its Chapter 7 motion on Dec. 23.
Note the conspicuous lack of crying consumer advocates. Let's hope that this is one brand that doesn't rise back up as a zombie hippo.


If You Have a Friend on Facebook - Let them Know About This Item!!!!
The DOD LS460w dash camera is one of those things people seem to need after the event has happened. The car camera should be invested in before anything happens – rather than later. The LS460W from the manufacturer DOD is under review here, as we have an actual unit and are giving it a good going over.
Note, there is no USB cable within the camera package, but one arrived in the same outer package – and that was branded with the DOD logo aswell – so all is good.
Earlier versions of the firmware on the LS460W did not correctly format memory cards above 32GB (there was a windows workaround for this, a program could be used to do the format on a computer), however, we have been informed that the current version of the firmware now caters for the formatting of the memory card you choose for your dash camera, whether it be a 32GB or 64GB (which is the maximum).
In the list above you will have noticed that we mentioned two mounts, there are two indeed, one is the sticky type of mount whereby the bracket is adhered to the windscreen of the car for permanent fitting, the other is a suction mount, similar to those found on GPS systems and allows the owner the freedom to move the camera from one car to another should this be desired. Bearing in mind there are two mounts, we thought this was useful as it means that two cars can share the camera without having to switch mounts around. The power cable will still need to be moved though, because whilst these are available as an additional separate item, the usual single cable only is supplied.
The camera itself feels "solid" and has "weight" to it, some car cameras are so light you can hardly imagine any electronics in there – more like holding an empty crisp packet. The LS460w though is firm and solid.
The menu us very easy to use, once you get the hang of the buttons. Basically there is a menu button which activates a menu which pertains to the current mode the camera is set to. For example, if you want to enter a menu with parameters for adjusting the video settings, then you would press the menu button when the camera is in Video Mode – rather than Photo Mode. Pressing the Menu button in Photo Mode brings up an entirely different set of options than the video mode as one would expect. Traversing the menu is very easy – a bar highlights the current option and this can be moved up and down using a couple of arrow keys on the side of the viewing screen. Selecting an option using the top OK/Record button offers the owner the actual settings under the chosen option. For example, if you require to set Motion Detection to OFF instead of ON, then you would press OK/Record with the bar over "Motion Detection", then use the arrow keys again to choose between the displayed options of "ON or OFF" pressing OK/Record with the option selected will set the parameter and return the owner to the main menu.
Memory cards must be of a class 10 high speed and no fakes – we used a 32GB samsung card for our review here during the trials. This gave us around 4 and a half hours of recording before the camera started looping and deleting the old footage. More than sufficient for our purposes including in our real life situations of using the camera for real as it were. Please note that some people are selling memory at high prices and the cams at low prices. Where you see a seller offering memory as well, always shop around because they are generally rip-off merchants.
Driving with the camera installed in the vehicle was just as it always is, although at first we were a little conscious of the presence of the filming and this resulted in our driving more carefully, as the cams are a double edged sword – always remember that in actuality you yourself are being recorded as well as the other road users around you. When we turned on the engine, it beeped and started recording, it stopped recording when the engine was switched off, it also powered itself down. So it was fully automatic and could be described as plug and forget technology.
Playing back the videos we produced on the DOD LS460W was simply a case of connecting the camera to our PC using the USB cable – although it should be said that this is not required, the memory card can be removed in the car and taken to a PC which has a card slot. This is quite a trivial matter but could be useful for some readers. We copied the video files to the hard disk, and then, loaded up the DOD software player and opened them up. The video quality is extremely clear, the best we have seen from a dash cam, and the software connected with Google maps and showed mapping images along with GPS speed and co-ordinate information.
As an accident or evidence camera this will more than do the job for both casual road users and commercial users. It has no problem picking out number plates and also records exceptionally well in the dark (with the aid of street lighting and headlights).

Angular momentum: 10 times it's constantly around us
If you've never sat in a swivel chair and spun yourself around, I'm afraid I am going to have to ask you to turn in your "human card." Extending your arms and legs to slow down and immediately pulling them in tight to speed up. Entertaining, right?
While we may not be as graceful as a trained ice skater, the principle is the same. Angular momentum. Plus who cares what we look like, it's fun!
There are many things in the world that rotate, spin,and cartwheel, including the world itself. Therefore, I thought it would be a great topic for the month.
So let's start at the beginning…
What is angular momentum?
Credit: By PanCiasteczko (Own work) [Public domain], via Wikimedia Commons
The easiest way to describe it is the momentum an object has when spinning or rotating around something.
It applies to many scenarios (shown on the right). A disk or ring. Solid or hollow. Centered or offset. All things spinny and rotatey. By spin I mean turn on an axis within the body. By rotate I mean turn about a point outside the body.
The most interesting aspect of angular momentum is that it is conserved. Meaning it will always stay constant for a closed system.
I won't bog you down with a lot of math, but a basic formula will be helpful. It can be calculated:
Angular momentum = tangent velocity x radius x mass
Just as Newton's first law states, objects in motion stay in motion. An object that is rotating will stay rotating. Just as an object that is not rotating will continue to not rotate, unless another force is applied of course.
The classic demonstration of this is a spinning ice skater. When she draws her arms inward, she is decreasing her radius. Since her mass remains the same and angular momentum is always constant, the tangent velocity must go up. She spins faster.

Essentially, this effect causes objects to appear to curve as they travel across Earth. The Earth rotates faster at the equator than it does at the poles because the Earth is wider at the equator.
Just imagine an object on the equator of a globe and one near the top of the globe. Give the globe a spin and it is easy to see the object at the equator is moving faster.
In the northern hemisphere, objects appear to deflect to the right. In the southern hemisphere, it appears to deflect to the left.
If this is confusing think of this example. Say you are riding a bike holding a ball. You want to toss the ball into a resting basket as you ride past it. Do you throw the ball when you are right next to the basket? No. The ball will land beyond the basket in the direction of your travel. It will appear deflected because of the difference in speed between you and the basket.
With northern hemisphere wind, high-pressure systems from near the equator will pass low-pressure systems from the north pole on the right. This results in the counter-clockwise rotation, as can be seen in northern hemisphere hurricanes.
Of course, the Coriolis effect is for large scale systems. When other forces of notable magnitude are added to the system, it complicates things and the results may differ.
10 instances of angular momentum
1. Tops
Let's start at the beginning. As young scientists, I mean children, we have all played with a top. Turning it, seeing how long it would spin, trying it out on different surfaces.
We weren't aware that we were performing physics experiments, we were just having fun. We didn't stop to think we were adding more torque to the system by turning it harder or seeing how the friction between the tip and the floor slowed it down over time. That sneaky science just hid right underneath our noses.
2. Toilets and Tubs
Another curiosity we entertained in our childhood. Every kid loves toilet stuff. We were mesmerized about why water drained swirling in a particular direction.
The Coriolis effect is often cited causing a counter-clockwise swirl north of the equator and a clockwise swirl south of the equator. Truth be told, the scale of a sink, toilet, or tub are too small for the Coriolis effect to really have much influence in the draining.
The water temperature variations, friction from the sides of the vessel, and the initial turbulence of the fluid all play a much larger role in the direction of the swirl. If these elements are all constant, then the Coriolis effect may be the most dominant.
3. Football
A lot of people dream of being the big star of the team, the quarterback. Although it may be less and less with recent findings on subsequent concussions and the permanent brain damage it can lead to.
Regardless, a great quarterback needs to know how to throw the football. A good throw requires a tight spiral on the ball. The tighter the spiral, the more aerodynamically and precise the flight of the ball. All thanks to angular momentum.
4. Darts, Rifles, and other trajectory activities
The same principle applies here as in the case of football.
The rotation of the dart, bullet, or arrow will stabilize its flight. This is because the object wants to maintain its angular momentum. So it will head in a straight path. Since these activities are all about precision and accuracy, that would be the skill to master.
Just imagine if you perfected this shot? What a hotshot!
5. Helicopters
Even if you know nothing about helicopters they are easy to identify with their large rotors on top.
However, the motion involves a lot more than just the top rotor. If only the top rotor spins and the system were to maintain its angular momentum, the body of the helicopter would spin in the opposite direction.
To prevent this unstable, not to mention unsafe, scenario the tail rotor is added. It counteracts the spin of the body to keep the entire aircraft stable.
6. Tornadoes, Hurricanes, Dust Devils, Waterspouts
The size of these weather phenomena affects their intensity because they conserve their angular momentum. This means that if the rotating body decreases its radius, its angular velocity will increase. Just like the ice skater.
Because of the scale of these systems, the Coriolis effect is applicable. As the high pressure rushes to the low pressure it will be deflected slightly. This causes the spiral. Based on the image to the right, this storm must be in the southern hemisphere because it appears to rotate clockwise.
7. The Sun, the moon, and the stars
Spinning and rotating. They all do both as they hurtle through space. Although some believe the moon doesn't spin because it always shows us the same face. It just coincidentally takes about the same time (~27 days) for it to orbit the Earth as it does to spin on its own axis.
When matter comes in close proximity in the universe, it starts to converge thanks to gravity. As things move towards each other they begin to rotate. The matter continues to assemble, and due to their initial motion and the fact that nothing stops that motion (except for the gravity of the other items in proximity) they continue to rotate or spin.

So, from clusters in the universe to galaxies. Within galaxies, the clusters turn into solar systems. Within solar systems, the clusters turn into planets. Within planetary orbits, the clusters turn into moons. All of them maintaining their spin from the very beginning. Neat!
8. Subatomic particles
If you know something about physics, you have heard about the property of spin in the smallest things known to man, subatomic particles. But scientists are quick to point out that although these particles do have angular momentum and magnetic fields, they do not actually spin even though that is what they call it.
On a quantum level, angular momentum occurs without the rotation or spinning. This is just one of the many things on a quantum level that intuition will not help you to understand. From what I understand scientists say this because the magnetic field for electrons indicate it would need to be rotating faster than the speed of light. We all know that is the point where physicists call foul.
9. Gyroscopes
They seem to be magic and defy the laws of gravity.
But however cool they appear, their angular momentum has been put to good use in industry. It is used to help identify orientation and motion. Planes, Segways, virtual reality are just a few examples using these ingenious devices.
10. Universe?
While we don't really know if this is the case, there has been interesting work done looking into this. This was done by looking at the spin of galaxies. It appears that there is a small (7%) preference for counter-clockwise spin in the northern sky of the Milky Way.
But the question is, What would the universe be spinning relative to? We may never know, but it is fun to think about.

Surrounded by angular momentum
On a regular basis, I don't think about this kind of stuff. But when I stumble upon images of a gyroscope or an ice skater, it still fills me with delight. Another article of mine will discuss this delight.
(See Related: Mikhail Baryshnikov: Wisdom from the master of turns)
This is why science is so awesome. I love when the laws of physics prove that our intuition isn't always spot on. Humbling and amazing. Fact is stranger than fiction, as can be seen on reality television. Actually that was a bad example, reality television is all fiction and is not at all amazing.
The fact remains we are constantly surrounded by the constant of angular momentum. Did you get the pun in the title? Bonus points if you did.
Maybe next time you see an example at play, you will put a little more thought into how it all works. That is what I am here to do, put a little inspiration into your life.

What she meant was the stuff most of 5-year olds don't get to experience in the USA.
I have to admit, it took me a while to adjust because in New York, as much I have resisted the fact, we developed this helicopter parenting.
I know a lot of factors are at play, but the bottom line raises a question: how does this overprotecting, helicoptering, isolating ever help our kids?
I get that some is necessarily but how much is just an overreaction?
Because if at 5 years old she already is aware of this empowering feeling, what do 10-, 15-, 20-year olds who had never had such experience growing into?

You may point in your essay that in economically developed countries, almost 50% of the population is overweight, and 30% of people suffer from fattiness.
Typical for modern society sedentary lifestyle, poor nutrition with increasing amounts of refined products, constant psychological stress lead to rising frequency of adiposity of people of all ages, especially young people.
Fattiness is considered to be one of the most difficult health and social tasks of modernity. Its widespread, close relationship with the way of life and extremely high mortality of its results require the combination of doctor's фтв health authorities' efforts in order to identify and implement large-scale prevention and medication measures in time.
Fattiness is a part of the metabolic syndrome. This syndrome connects different pathological conditions with each other (insulin resistance, carbohydrate and lipid metabolism, hypertension). The syndrome is not a separate diagnosis or nosological form but at the same time has significant importance for prognosis and medication of the main disease. Ralph DeFronzo compared this situation with an iceberg: on its surface lie clinical signs that usually come to the attention of doctors (diabetes, coronary heart disease, hypertension and fattiness), and on the basis – a whole complex of metabolic disorders caused by insulin resistance. It means a condition that precedes the expansion of the disease.
Fattiness is a chronic illness, characterized by excessive accumulation of fat in the organism.
World Health Organization (WHO) regards fattiness as an epidemic that has covered millions of people. The data of the Tenth International Congress on Obesity (Sydney, September 2006) indicates that more than 250 million patients with fattiness live in the world now.
Today from 10 to 25% of the population suffer from fattiness (BMI> 30 kg/) in the majority of Western European countries, from 20 to 25% do in the US. About half of the population has excessive body weight (BMI> 25 kg/) in the industrialized countries, except Japan and China.
In many countries morbidity of fattiness has increased two times on average in the last 10 years. Calculations of WHO experts show that by 2025 the number of obese patients in the world will amount to 300 million people. A rising number of people with fattiness among children is expected. The significance of the fattiness problem is defined by risk disability of young patients and a decline in general life expectancy in connection with the expansion of severe comorbidities.
The purpose of fattiness prophylaxis is to prevent the expansion of fattiness among people with normal and excess body mass, to reduce or prevent the risk of severe comorbidities.
Indications for prophylaxis realization are familial genetic predisposition to fattiness and the illnesses that accompany it (diabetes of second type, hypertension, coronary heart disease and so on), the presence of early risk factors of metabolic syndrome (hyperlipidemia, disturbance of tolerance to carbohydrates, etc.), BMI> 25 kg / among women who can not give birth.
Medication of fattiness is advised not only to reduce weight but also to prevent the illnesses, to perfect health status of patient, or to eliminate existing comorbidities.
improvement of the quality and increasing of the patients' lifetime.
What Do You Need For This?
regular monitoring with obligatory registration of indicators that reflect the effectiveness of medication.
Nowadays, the method of moderate gradual weight loss, taking into account BMI and related risk factors, is accepted.
Adiposity is the result of long-term existence of a positive energy balance, which occurs when energy flow prevails over its expenditure. As a result, this leads to fat accumulation and gain of weight. To reduce weight you must create a negative energy balance, which is achieved by reducing energy flow and increasing its expenditure through rising of physical activity.
Basal metabolism – the energy which is used to maintain metabolism at resting state (60%).
Thermogenesis (specific dynamic action of food) – rising of heat production after a meal (10%).
Physical activity – the energy expenditure which depends on the level of physical exertion (20-40%).
Energy flow is occurred at the expense of fat (often hidden), proteins, carbohydrates and alcohol (1g provides 7 calories). To reduce energy flow you should limit consumption of fat and alcohol especially.
A reasonable approach to control and variety of food.
It is recommended to have 3 main meals and 2 intermediate meals.
As a result of studies it was found, that regular omission of one of the main meals per day will significantly increase incidence of adiposity. There is a positive correlation between fattiness and breakfast omission.
There is a following recommendation in distribution of daily caloric value: breakfast – 25%, second breakfast – 10%, dinner – 35%, afternoon snack – 10%, dinner – 20%. The final meal is advisable up to the 8 p.m.
A considerable component of weight loss is an increase of physical activity. Physical exercises help to reduce weight through direct energy expenditure, and what is the most important – they help to maintain body weight. The most efficient are aerobic exercises: walking, jogging, swimming, cycling, skiing, and jumping rope.
The main conditions of the individual exercising program implementation for weight loss are regular aerobic exercises (at least 3-4 times a week), with a gradual increase of intensity and duration of training, selection of individual options, taking into account related complications. The combination of a rational nutrition with increasing of physical activity will provide a desired weight loss. Lifestyle changes mean maintaining of the achieved result.

What's the deal with Push Button Replications?
Reproduction and replication of research findings can improve the quality and reliability of research. The recent credibility crisis in the field of psychology, has sparked a huge discussion on the reliability of research findings in all fields and critics have expressed strong doubts over replicability of published research. It should be safe to assume that the original data and programming code from a published article would replicate the results presented. However, we regularly find papers mentioning failure to replicate results using original data and code. For instance, Gertler, Galiani and Romero (2018) tried replicating 203 papers with original code and data and found that one out of seven studies replicated perfectly. To mitigate this issue, researchers from all over the world have taken a stand in favor of practicing and promoting transparent research practices.
At 3ie, we use Push Button Replication (PBR) to verify the reproducibility of research findings using the code, data and methodology provided by the original authors. Brown and Wood (2018), point out that the concept of PBR is very simple. The process replicates research findings using original data and code provided by the researchers. In a previous blog, Brown and Wood mention that a necessary condition for reproducibility of findings is that data and code should be available. To facilitate verification through PBRs, we mandate submission of all data and programming code from all 3ie-funded studies. We believe that reproduction of results is an important measure to quality assure products such as briefs, reports and other products that are developed based on research findings. To demonstrate our commitment to openness and transparency, we publish all reports and research materials, including data and code in the public domain.
Several institutions do not have a policy on sharing research and most claim intellectual property over the research they fund, and do not make them public. In our interactions with researchers, we found that at the institutional level there are only a handful of people who are aware and willing to work towards openness in research. Although they agree that sharing research materials is important, they are affiliated with institutions that do not support openness, which makes them reluctant to share materials.
A study looking at 141 economics journals found that only 20 per cent of the journals have a functional data sharing policy. The Gertler study actually looked at over 400 studies out of which only 203 studies had both data and code available for replication purposes. The culture of promoting sharing of replication materials isn't prevalent among journals, in fact, only a handful of them promote sharing which further nurtures the culture of reluctance among researchers. Journals or funding institutions often allow embargoes on the sharing of data and code until a study is published which in turn fuels the reluctance of researchers to share replication materials. By the time the replication materials are shared the data is outdated and of no use to other researchers.
Why is PBR necessary from the original researcher perspective?
Knowing that a PBR will be conducted when results are submitted makes the researchers write code and transform data in a way that is easily verifiable. PBRs also help correct minor errors such as typos, misreporting of results and so on. It creates awareness among researchers about good data and code sharing practices. It decreases verification times and increases the reusability quotient of the data and code. Researchers refrain from writing illiterate programs which is key in thinking about the long term usage of the code.
Why is PBR necessary from a fellow researcher perspective?
Fellow researchers and students benefit from the PBRs as it helps build an in-depth understanding of the study methodology. They can also reuse the same materials either for replication purposes or as an addition to their own research.
While conducting PBRs, we have interacted with numerous researchers and a common reason for issues with their code or data is recalling what sort of transformation of data was done to get the desired results. Having proper documentation helps trace the changes made to the data and code. Using research logs and version control tools facilitates this process. Documentation is a part of the PBR process which helps original researchers with recall. It helps replication researchers to track any issues in the research lifecycle and validate results.
Why is PBR necessary from a donor perspective?
Donors often seek tangible proof of the authenticity of the study results that they have funded. They often want a quick turn around on the verification of reports after the completion of the studies, and if the data and code is PBR certified the process of verification by the donor is quicker. This third party verification can also help the donor disseminate the findings with greater confidence.
Why is PBR necessary from a policymaker's perspective?
Policymakers use evidence generated from studies. Replication of the research findings assures them of the quality and builds trust to use evidence to inform policies that affect people's lives. Quality assuring the research findings also gives policy-makers the confidence to be accountable to the public, whose money is often used to fund these studies.
Guidelines such as providing comments, providing codes for user-written commands, proper folder structure, etc., while analyzing the data and writing code, helps organise the data, code and findings. Furthermore, clear documentation of all the processes involved in the data cleaning and analysis by adding comments in the programming code files helps in understanding the rationale behind every line of code. For all 3ie-funded studies, researchers are given guidance to make their studies replication-ready.
With the new age tools for transparent workflow, like Open Science Framework, Git, R and Stata dynamic documents, it has become easier and more efficient to keep track of all research processes throughout the life cycle of a study. A number of data repositories such as figshare, dryad, etc. to name a few, have their own data curation and submission guidelines which help archive and version control data and code. All these instruments help replication of studies in turn promoting transparency of research practices.
The credibility and ongoing replication crisis is a good wake-up call for researchers to take note and implement practices that would quality assure their research and help in long-term usage of their data and replication materials.

Six cement plants received special recognition for their commitment to improving the environment and their communities at the Tenth Annual Cement Industry Environment and Energy Awards, presented by the Portland Cement Association (PCA) at the PCA's Spring Meeting in Chicago.
The awards honour individual cement facilities that exemplify the spirit of continuous environmental improvement and support this spirit with action. These plants went beyond government regulations and local laws to ensure that their processes and policies contributed to making their communities better places to live and work.
"Although it is one of the most highly regulated industry sectors in the United States, cement companies are consistently challenging manufacturing policies and procedures to improve energy efficiency and other environmental factors. This means not just producing a high quality product, but making the plant's local communities quality places to live and work," said Brian McCarthy, PCA president and CEO. "We take our environmental stewardship seriously and have a long history of investing in continuous improvements that are win-win for both the environment and our communities."

The New "Dirty Harry" Mural in Lawton!
Critter Published: March 22, 2021
TSM Lawton: Critter
We have a new mural in Lawton, Fort Sill thanks to the talents of Justin Hackney and his company Spreading PAINTS. You've seen his work all around town from the murals that have been painted at the Vaska Theater on Ferris Ave. to his Beatles mural on the side of Phillips Music Company on Sheridan Road. His latest masterpiece is one of my all time favorites, the one and only "Dirty Harry!" You can find this on the side of Sanders Hardware located at 1214 N.W. Cache Road, you can't miss it!
I just re-watched all the Dirty Harry movies a few months ago, my son has never seen them so we binge watched them all over a weekend. He's now a BIG FAN of Clint Eastwood and the Dirty Harry series as well. They're great movies and contain some of the most icon lines to have ever been put on film. My all time favorite is from Dirty Harry the very first film in the series:
"I know what you're thinking. Did he fire six shots or only five? Well, to tell you the truth in all this excitement I kind of lost track myself. But being that this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and would blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself one question. Do I feel lucky? Well do ya, punk?"
This is the movie that started the love affair with the Model 29 Smith & Wesson 44 Magnum. It's still one of the most recognizable and iconic firearms of all time. If truth be told the gun was as big a part of the movies as Eastwood himself. You couldn't wait to see it out of the holster and being fired with it's signature flame throwing, big bang, low rumbling report. There's nothing quite like it!
Sure it's no longer "The most powerful handgun in the world" but it's still a great gun and load. To see it immortalized as a black and white mural on the side of Sanders Hardware is awesome! I love seeing all the new murals pop up around town and look forward to the next one. Although this one's gonna be hard to beat!

URBANA — A Champaign man was arrested Thursday afternoon on charges related to the death of his infant son last month.
Jaytwon Mobley, 20, was charged with aggravated battery to a child, involuntary manslaughter and child endangerment for allegedly causing injuries to Kendall Mobley-Spicer on Jan. 18 that led to his death two days later.
Judge Heidi Ladd set Mobley's bond at $2 million. He is due in arraignment court Friday.
Assistant State's Attorney Lindsey Clark said that Mobley, who listed an address in the 1000 block of West Bradley Avenue, was home alone caring for the 4-month-old on that Friday. The child's mother returned home from work and noticed the baby was breathing strangely and appeared very tired. The baby was awake and crying, Clark said.
An ambulance was called and the infant was taken to Carle Foundation Hospital, where a CT scan revealed serious brain injuries, including bleeding and swelling. The baby was later transferred to OSF St. Francis Medical Center in Peoria, where he died Jan. 20.
Clark said on that day, Mobley gave a statement to Champaign police in which he said he was holding the baby in his arms while trying to open a broken door. Mobley told police that the child "lunged" from his arms and hit his head on the door.
The case has been under investigation since the baby's death. Police sought the warrant for Mobley's arrest Thursday.
Clark said Mobley has no prior convictions.
Of the charges filed Thursday, aggravated battery to a child is the most serious. Conviction of it carries a mandatory prison term of between six and 30 years.
Involuntary manslaughter, the unintentional killing of a person by acts that the person commits recklessly and knows are likely to cause death or great bodily harm, is a Class 2 felony. Child endangerment is a Class 3 felony.

Update Password: I bet you can guess what this does.
Users: Let's you modify users.
You will want to start by creating an initial blog category. You must have at least one blog category before writing an entry. After you have created a category, you may start writing blog entries.
<more/> : Sometimes a blog entry may be very long. It is preferable to show only a portion of the entry on the main blog and have the detailed link contain the entire entry. By using the <more/> tag in your blog entry, any text after the <more/> tag will only show up on the individual entry display. You must include the closing / in the tag. When blog entries are emailed, only the text before the <more/> tag is included.
Any code inside the <code> block will be escaped (< and > tags changed to < and >), color coded, and will have line breaks changed to <br> tags.
Entries can have "enclosures", which are simply attached files. This is a handy way to attach a resource to a blog entry. One of the features of BlogCFC is that if you attach an image, the file will also be included at the top of the blog entry. This is a handy and simple way to display an image with a entry.
BlogCFC supports delayed entries. This means you can write an entry now that won't be displayed until later in the day. Subscribers will not get an email on the entry until the entry is published. BlogCFC will automatically add a scheduled event to handle the entry release.
BlogCFC technically doesn't support a draft mode, but an entry can be saved with the Released setting to false. This means that the entry will not be shown on the blog. If you want to write an entry and save it without publishing it, simply set the Released value to false.
BlogCFC uses a simple text area to handle entry editing. If you want fancier editing, you have two options. One is to simply use an XML-RPC capable blog editor. Your other option is to use an HTML edit control like tinyMCE. I've made this easier by abstracting the textarea field out of the blog editor. You can find this in the tags folder. The filename is textarea.cfm.
BlogCFC has basic CMS (content management system) capabilities. While the basic blog application works great for diary style entries, there was no way to create basic content outside of the blog. BlogCFC provides additional publishing capabilities by providing support for Pages, Textblocks, and Slide Shows.
You can add any number of pages you want. To link to a blog page, simply use the URL displayed in the administrator. Pages follow the same editing rules that blog entries do. This means you can include code and textblocks directly in the content. The only tag not supported is the <more/> tag.
Textblocks are identified by their labels so ensure that you do not duplicate two textblock labels. You can include the content of a textblock inside a blog entry by using the <textblock> tag. Please see the blog editing section for more information.
BlogCFC will automatically discover all GIF and JPG files in the folder and will create a slide show based on those images. You should do your best to size your images beforehand as BlogCFC will not do any automatic sizing.
The second way to create slide shows is via the administrator. The administrator lets you add, edit, and delete slide shows. It also lets you add titles to your shows as well as captions to your pictures.
Podcasting for BlogCFC was added by Brian Meloche. Podcasting is a large topic so we'll just cover how BlogCFC handles it. We will also assume you've got your MP3 files already prepared and ready to go.
The first thing you need to do is add the MP3 to the blog entry. You can do this either by uploading the MP3 when editing the blog entry, or by using another program (like an FTP client) to upload the MP3 file. You can then manually type in the name of the file in the blog entry.
As soon as you have used an MP3 file for a blog entry, a simple, Flash based audio player will be rendered with the blog entry. Even if you have no plans of being a podcaster, this could be useful for folks who want to attach songs or other sounds to a blog entry.
BlogCFC supports settings for podcasting. They are: itunesSubtitle, itunesSummary, itunesKeywords, itunesAuthor, itunesImage, and itunesExplicit. These settings are used in the RSS feed and are used by various feed readers to help flag blogs with podcasts attached to them.
BlogCFC handles security via a simple username/password mechanism. Out of the box, the admin user has the ability to do anything. However, you can create new users and give them specific roles.
Currently BlogCFC ships with a set of roles that allow for control over who can write and publish content as well as manage categories. Who you give access to these features is entirely up to you.
Admin : A special role for the admin. Allows all functionality.
ManageCategories : The ability to manage blog categories.
ManageUsers : The ability to manage blog users.
ReleaseEntries : The ability to both release a new entry and edit any released entry.

Sixteen By Nine Media Centre has designed this 6 month real time project based curriculum, training students in both art & technique of film direction.
Who is a film director? What is film direction?
Film director is the one who takes the viewers in a journey. He is the one who decides on that journey's direction, meaning where the story goes & how long it takes. 'Where' the story is 'going' implies the Space & 'how long it takes' implies Time. Now, this balancing of the Space-Time equilibrium is the aesthetic sense or art of the film director. The skills required in order to execute the art, is called techniques of film direction.
How to develop concept & story from raw idea?
Working with cinematographers, editors & actors.
