Article from Hemmings Motor News September, 2006 - David
LaChance In his book Open Net, about his time spent learning to
play goalie with the Boston Bruins, sports journalist George
Plimpton relates his attempts to get his girlfriend to attend a
hockey game by promising that they would watch the Zamboni
resurface the ice between periods. For her, the machine's
appearance was the highlight of the game. She's not alone in
her fascination. Go to any hockey game, and likely as not,
you'll see kids with their noses pressed up against the glass as
the Zamboni machine makes its way around the rink, laying down a
sheet of fresh ice like some giant, mechanized snail from the
South Pole. From Sasha Cohen to the local pee-wee hockey team,
anyone who's ever laced up skates and headed onto the rink owes
a debt to an immigrant's son named Frank J. Zamboni. Born in

20100039880ROTOR PROCESSOR - A rotor processor includes a stator
chamber and a rotor mounted for rotation within the chamber. The
rotor has a perimeter edge spaced closely to the interior wall
of the chamber so as to define a slit or gap there between. The
rotor is slidably mounted upon a rotor shaft, for movement
between raised and lowered positions during operation of the
processor, so as to automatically adjust the dimension of the
slit, without operator intervention. As air flows from a plenum
beneath the rotor, through the slit, and into the chamber, a
pressure differential is created, which provides a lifting force
to raise the rotor. The pressure drop is maintained relatively
constant at a predetermined level after a lifting equilibrium
force is achieved, regardless of the air flow volume.02-18-2010

icons that decorate the left pane of the system's dashboard and
serve as the console's game/app shortcuts. That's handy! So how
do you do it? And why might you need a mirror? We can explain
and make it easy for you. 1. Have SmartGlass (And update it)
Sorry, but you can't rearrange your pins on the Xbox One itself.
You might have had visions of waving your hands in front of a
Kinect, channeling your inner Tom Cruise as you moved each pin.
Nah. It might be nice to do it on the system via a controller or

a sensitive drag-free system that eliminates external non-

question add comment 1 Answer Use concatenation - then you'll
be basing your hash on all of the available source data. If you
use XOR then there's a risk that one piece of your source data
will "cancel out" some (or all) of the bits of the remaining
data before it's even passed to the hash function. And
concatenating rather than XORing won't affect the space required
for storage of your hash - the generated SHA1 hash will always
be 20 bytes regardless of the size of your source data.

risky, but just a very little more risk, cause even in case one

because you don’t grasp the terminology of the situation. As an

this article Fife estate's street lights could illuminate new
way to save millions from household electricity bills A
glenrothes housing estate is being hailed as the site of a
breakthrough in the quest for a "smart grid" that will reduce
network losses of electricity, saving millions of pounds for
consumers. Network waste is estimated by the Department of
Energy and Climate Change (DECC) at £3 billion a year in the UK,
mainly through "copper losses" (heat in the cable), and theft.
As the cost is borne by consumers rather than suppliers, power
companies have so far lacked incentives to tackle the issue.
The Glenrothes pilot project, part of Fife Council's Light Fife

caused by liver fluke – fasciola hepatica linnaeus. It spreads
all over the world and it occurs mostly in domestic animals like
cattle, pigs, rabbits, horses and in wild animals. In case of
humans the parasite settles in the liver and the bile ducts. It
is estimated that there are about 50 mln people infected with
liver fluke. Regions the most affected are South and Latin
America. This fluke lays in the bile ducts about 6000 eggs a
day, which are later removed with faeces. In water, in the
temperature of 22 – 25˚C the first larvas (miracidium) hatch.
The larvas are active for a couple of hours and during that time
they get into an indirect host, that is a snail. After 3 weeks
from the penetration into the indirect host, the larva

Ryskin proposes that huge deposits of methane and other gases,

a room at the Four Seasons Hotel discussing his new $90 million
sci-fi thriller `Hollow Man,` which opens today in area
theaters, the actor flashes back to a time a dozen years ago
when his once-rocketing career began to sputter and stall. He
had just turned 30 and Hollywood seemed to have no use for him
anymore. "It was a really rough time," Bacon recalls, sipping a
cup of steaming coffee. "My mother had just died. I had gotten
married and my wife was expecting our first child. And my career
was in the toilet. I'd been at the top with 'Diner' and
'Footloose' and here I was, starting to slip down the other
side." No sooner did he sign up for the B-movie `Tremors` than
Bacon had a full-scale meltdown. He was leaving his apartment on

I agree that sodapopgirl721 can get a bit harsh. However, I am
one of those "original" glee fans that is not thrilled with the
changes. I still watch the show because for the most part I
still enjoy it. Season 1 of Glee was very similar to how it is
now, except it's focus was on the comedy and the music and then
on throwing in some heartfelt storylines and lessons. I have
watched several episodes this and last season and felt like I
could be watching 7th Heaven. Originally Glee presented these
important topics and life lessons in an ironic, satirical, and
funny way. I didn't feel like the shows "agenda" was being
shoved in my way. |

2001 To the Editor: Re ''Bush Team Vows to Speed Up Work on
Missile Shield'' (front page, April 30): Lucas Fischer, the
deputy assistant secretary of state for strategic affairs,
suggests that the standard of the Bush administration's missile
defense program is not perfect protection of the United States
population but enough to complicate ''a prospective opponent's
calculation of success.'' He also said the system should be
effective against launchings by rogue states and accidental or
unauthorized launchings, meaning Russian and Chinese missiles.
Together with the vast scale of the administration's program,
these statements suggest that the purpose of missile defense may
be to revive the doctrine that the United States should be able
to fight and ''prevail'' in a nuclear war. Yet the danger is
that an untested, flawed missile shield will tranquilize
American planners and the public to the catastrophic
consequences of using nuclear weapons. |

this model in 2008. Yes, he was able to raise impressive sums

Considering how the campaign unfolded, this round of funding can

Comprehension "Back in the early day," Guthrie wrote in his

Guthrie saw more tough people surviving hard times when he went

to find work in California. There were so many of them, however,
that competition was incredible and bosses got away with paying
them very low wages. Many families found no work at all.
Guthrie saw these families living out of their cars and camped
in makeshift shelters. He was outraged by the injustice and
found kindred spirits in members of the American Communist Party

themselves. Though Guthrie never joined the Party, he embraced

why opposition to proposed legislation falls away. That is the
possibility with a mid-April proposal to make broad changes to
the state's no-fault insurance system. The legislation also
would deter medical costs from being elevated for injuries
suffered in motor vehicle accidents and place measures to
prevent insurance fraud. The funny thing is that shouldn't be
the end of the discussion. There needs to be more open dialogue,
listing the pros and cons of such a move. We can all use a
little savings when it comes to car insurance, much as we may
wish milk, gasoline and cable service were less costly. The
repercussions for not getting groceries, fuel and television are
clear. Not having no-fault insurance? Less so. The most
obvious argument is the proposal's limitation of $1 million in
coverage -- removing the unlimited designation -- could leave
those who suffer significant injuries in accidents left to waste

Analysis and Probability Terry Johanson Langham, SK, Canada We
often hear that there are measurements in the body that can be
used to predict a person’s height. By graphing different body
measurements versus height and comparing their correlation
coefficient, students decide which body measurement is the best
predictor. Students will probably have heard about some ratios
that are said to exist in the body. For examples, it is often
said that if you open your arms wide and measure the length from
the fingertips of one hand to the fingertips of the other and
compare this to your height, the two measurements are equal.
Another example is the claim that if you measure your height and
compare it to the distance from the floor to your navel, then
the resulting ratio is approximately 1.618:1, which is also
known as the golden ratio. If students measure these ratios on
their own bodies, they may notice that the ratios are not
exactly what the students pred |

Introduction to Lawn Care — Irrigation Properly watering a lawn
is key to maintaining it in a healthy condition. Most lawn
problems are either directly or indirectly related to poor
irrigation practices. Failing to apply sufficient water will
result in dry areas which will turn brown and ultimately die if
left too long. On the other hand, excess water can lead to
disease and lawn damage. As you can see, it is important to
irrigate your lawn correctly. The first step to proper
irrigation is the installion of a sprinkler system and applying
a concept called "irrigation efficiency." Irrigation efficiency
is the measure of how evenly a system applies water, i.e., a
highly efficient system distributes water evenly, whereas a less
efficient system applies water unevenly. No system is 100%
perfect, so some area of any lawn is bound to receive less or
more water than the rest. The area of lawn which tends to dry
out first ultimately dictates the watering sch |
-1.674083 | 5.714896 | -1 | Startups Are Everywhere By Brad Feld In 2012, there was a
cambrian explosion of new startup activity all over the world.
The seeds for this had been planted during the preceding years,
but as 2012 comes to an end, a true Startup Revolution has
begun. I’ve been involved in starting companies, either as an
entrepreneur, angel investor, or venture capitalist since I
started my first company in Boston in 1987. When I moved to
Boulder in 1995, I didn’t have any expectation of doing business
there; rather I was spending all my time traveling from Boston
to NY to San Francisco to Seattle where I was investing my own
money as an angel investor. At the time, there was a belief that
there were only a few places in the world where entrepreneurial
ecosystems could - and had - developed, with the bay area and
Silicon Valley the defining one. I’ve always rejected the idea
that startups were destined to only exist in certain cities.
Instead, I believed that startups could flourish anywhere. When

In a diner booth from the '70s covered in pop stains at Lloyd's
Recreation, Melissa Kruskowski, who goes by Cheetah Von Teese,
explained that four years ago she found a sport she could call
her own. That sport is roller derby. Originating from Illinois
in the '30s, derby has gained popularity across the world. In
2007, a women's roller derby league was formed in Calgary. The
sport took off in the city and has surged in popularity since
its inauguration. Two teams of five players-- three blockers, a
pivot and a jammer-- compete in two 30-minute periods that
consist of 'jams' that are about two minutes each. During a jam,

-3.403563 | 3.306473 | 39 | egyption phlebotomy Phlebotomy is defined as an incision into a
vein and is one of the oldest medical procedures dating back to
the early Egyptians. It was initially used for removing blood or
“blood letting” as it was commonly known and was done for
therapeutic purposes. It is primarily performed now for the
collection of blood specimens for laboratory analysis and is
used to diagnose and monitor medical conditions. Phlebotomy
plays a key role in laboratory testing and patient care. It is
widely accepted that the quality of a laboratory test is only as
good as the specimen that was obtained. To achieve this level of
quality requires as highly trained professional. Due to the
increase and complexity of laboratory testing and the need to
increase the efficiency and cost effectiveness of health care,
phlebotomy had become a very highly specialized area of clinical
laboratory practice. The term Phlebotomist is now used to
describe this specialized position and his course is designed to
