Funeral services have been announced for the Stroudsburg man killed in a Sunday morning crash on Neyhart Road in Hamilton Township.
Monroe County Coroner Bob Allen said Thomas A. Giarrizzo, 82, had a medical condition and it's likely he had an episode that caused the crash.
Giarrizzo was traveling south on Neyhart Road in his 2001 Buick Century when went off the road, hit the tree went down an embankment, Allen said.
He said speed was not a factor in the crash.
Giarrizzo was wearing a seatbelt, Allen said.
The crash was reported just before 8 a.m. He was pronounced dead at the scene at 8:45 a.m.
Born in Montclair, N.J., he was a son of the late John and Josephine (Conzentino) Giarrizzo. Thomas was a resident of the Stroudsburg area for the past 26 years and, prior to that, he lived in the Hopatcong, N.J., area.
He was employed in the research department for Schering Corp. of Lafayette, N.J., for 30 years. He was a member of St. Luke's Catholic Church of Stroudsburg and was a U.S. Army veteran of the Korean War. He also was a member of the Veterans of Foreign Wars/American Legion Gilbert Post.
He was the widower of Barbara A. (Gehring) Giarrizzo, who died in 2008.
He is survived by two sons: John J. Giarrizzo and his wife, Jammy, of Bangor, and Thomas A. Giarrizzo Jr. of Stroudsburg; a daughter, Mary E. Wilkinson of Hackettstown, N.J.; three grandchildren, Anthony, Danielle and Jessica: two brothers: Philip R. Giarrizzo of Highland, N.Y., and Angelo Gerrizzo of Toms River, N. J.; and a sister, Laura O'Brien of Parsippany, N.J.
He was preceded in death by two brothers, Joseph and Santo Gerrizzo.
Closed-casket visitation will be from 2 to 4 p.m. and 6 to 8 p.m. Wednesday, April 10, at Joseph J. Pula Funeral Home and Cremation Service, 23 N. Ninth St., Stroudsburg.
Catholic prayer services will be held at 3:30 p.m. Wednesday at the funeral home. Cremation will follow the services.
State police at Swiftwater are investigating the crash.
Central Pocono Ambulance and Blue Ridge Hook and Ladder assisted at the scene.

American imprisoned in North Korea says he wants US to 'try harder' for his release
TOKYO – An American imprisoned in North Korea has told a pro-Pyongyang media outlet that he wants the U.S. to "try harder" to help him gain amnesty from a sentence of 15 years of hard labor for alleged crimes against the government.
In what appears to be his first media interview since his November arrest, Kenneth Bae told the Tokyo-based Choson Sinbo in a story published Wednesday that he had hoped to be out by Thursday. That's not only Independence Day but his father's 70th birthday. He said he still hopes the U.S. government will help him get released quickly.
He was sent in May to what the North calls a "special prison," and Pyongyang's decision to allow the interview may have been an attempt to show that he is not being treated harshly. But an analyst said Pyongyang is also trying to use Bae as a bargaining chip to start bilateral talks with the U.S.
Bae, 44, of Lynnwood, Washington, was arrested in the northeastern North Korean region of Rason and was interviewed last week at a North Korean prison where he is serving out his sentence. An American of Korean descent, Bae entered the special economic zone as a tour operator but was convicted in late April of plotting to commit "hostile acts" against the North Korean government.
Photos and video of Bae published this week by Choson Sinbo show him with his head shaven and wearing gray overalls bearing the number 103.
Choson Sinbo, which caters to Japan's pro-Pyongyang North Korean community, provided an unusual look at Bae's life inside his "special education center" cell. It is 12 square meters and has a wash basin, a desk and a television.
Bae said he wakes up at 6 every morning. He then does farm work, planting seeds and weeding, until his labor ends at 6 p.m. He gets Sundays and holidays off, he told the paper during a June 26 interview.
"People here are very considerate, so I'm not working too hard, but my health is not in the best condition so there are some difficulties," Bae said in a Choson Sinbo video shared with CNN and posted to the paper's Facebook page. It's likely he gave the interview in the presence of North Korean officials.
Many in the U.S. see Bae's imprisonment as bait with which North Korea hopes to win diplomatic concessions from Washington. North Korea remains locked in a standoff with the U.S. and its allies for continuing to develop nuclear weapons despite U.N. sanctions. It launched a long-range rocket in December and conducted a nuclear test in February.
Yoo Ho-yeol, a North Korean studies professor at Korea University in Seoul, said the photos and video of Bae "are purely for propaganda purposes."
Yoo said North Korea hopes to use Bae as an excuse to bring the U.S. government into dialogue. The U.S. has responded coolly to the North's recent calls for talks, saying that Pyongyang must work toward denuclearization if it wants to improve relations.
Pyongyang denies using Bae, who is known in North Korea by the Korean name Pae Jun Ho, for political purposes.
Choson Sinbo's Pyongyang bureau chief, Kim Ji Yong, said the paper "worked hard to get this interview. Why the officials decided to grant it, however, is for them to say."
Bae informed his family in April he would not be allowed to appeal his sentence and urged them to lobby Washington to push for amnesty, North Korean officials have told The Associated Press.
"July 4th is my father's 70th birthday. So I was hoping that my problem will be worked out by the end of June," Bae said. "So my hope is that North Korea will forgive and the U.S. will try harder to get me out quickly. I'm asking for their help."
Washington has called for Bae's release.
"There is no greater priority for us than the welfare and safety of our U.S. citizens abroad, as I've said many times," State Department spokesman Patrick Ventrell said in May. He urged North Korea to "grant Mr. Bae amnesty and immediate release."
However, there has been no indication that a high-profile American envoy is set to travel to North Korea to negotiate his release.
At least five other Americans have been detained in North Korea since 2009. The others were eventually allowed to leave without serving out their terms, some after clemency missions by prominent Americans, including former Presidents Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter.
North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has the power to grant special pardons under the North's constitution.
Former NBA star Dennis Rodman has called on Kim to release the fellow American. The basketball player met and dined with Kim during a visit to North Korea earlier this year.
The human rights group Amnesty International has criticized Bae's lack of access to a lawyer. Pyongyang says he confessed and didn't want an attorney at sentencing.
Bae has had limited contact with the outside world. He has been visited by diplomats from the Swedish Embassy, which represents U.S. interests there because Washington and Pyongyang lack official diplomatic ties.

The purpose of this study is to examine how rIL-2 affects HIV-positive patients with CD4 counts over 300 cells/mm3 who are on anti-HIV drug therapy. The drug rIL-2 has been shown to increase CD4 cell counts, which help the body fight off HIV.
There is strong evidence that rIL-2 increases CD4 cell counts (cells of the immune system that fight infection). This study examines the effect of 2 different amounts of rIL-2 on CD4 cell count and the amount of HIV in the blood (viral burden).
|Condition or disease
|HIV Infections
|Drug: Aldesleukin
|Phase 3
There is substantial evidence that rIL-2 increases CD4+ cell count. Whether or not rIL-2 delays progression to AIDS and extends survival is currently unknown, such clinical benefits of rIL-2 can only be established in a large, long-term, randomized trial. This study examines the effect of two different rIL-2 doses on HIV viral burden and CD4+ cell count and provides additional information on optimal dosing, safety, and antiviral activity of rIL-2.
Patients are randomized to receive one of two subcutaneous (sc) doses of recombinant rIL-2 or no rIL-2. Those patients who take rIL-2 initially receive three courses of treatment. For this study, a course is defined as eight calendar weeks, including the five-day period of sc rIL-2 administration. Additional courses are given (no more frequently than every 6 weeks) in order to maintain a CD4+ count of at least twice its baseline level or at least 1,000 cells/mm3. Follow-up will continue for all patients until a common closing date of 12 months following enrollment of the last patient.

The giant of all rattlesnakes!
I ran into a buddy of mine this morning on the lake. He put his boat in across the creek from me and we met in the middle. He was unusually pale this am (just recovered from a heart attack). I asked ,"how are you doing"? he replied, "just lucky to be here!" I had seen him since the heart attack and had already heard this from him. He was talking about the giant snake he encountered at the ramp before dawn. He got out of his truck to un- hook the boat and there in his way was a six foot long velvet tail. Coiled and ready! He had run over it with the boat trailer, but he was still alive and he was mad! He thought he had run over a log , blown down from last nites storm. He killed it with a boat paddle. He was still out of breath thirty minutes later. This snake weighed 33 lbs. (not the one in the pic). It had 11 rattlers and a pretty red velvet patch six or so inches long above the tail. This was not my first sighting of a velvet tail.
A few years back (25 or so), my buddy, Joey called and said let's go hunting. Now I was thinking he wanted to ride the road and poach a deer from the truck. He said no we were gonna snake hunt. It was an hour before dark and he said that is when they crawl out on the side of the road and can be ran over. I was thinking if we ran over it ….it would destroy it. He showed me the skin of one he had killed two days earlier. This was huge and definitely not a snake from around here. I was wrong! Our first gravel road didn't produce any snakes and we turned down another less used paved road and in no time we saw a "log" half way across the road. Joey put both right tires smack dab on its head. I looked back to see this huge snake wrestle itself in the middle of the road. Armed with a garden hoe ( with a long handle) Joey finished it off. Just over five feet long. Ten rattlers and a nice velvet patch above the tail. This was amazing !!!! This was the biggest snake I had ever been "involved" with. We finished out the trip and didn't bag any more. I watched as Joey skinned this thing and he needed help holding it on the pic nick table. He salted it and stretched it out to dry. I never knew we had these "big" snakes in our woods. They are rare but they are there! We killed some more that year and that was it for me. I didn't like the whole process. It was dangerous. Snakes have reflexes and can strike after they are dead. These big velvet tails have some enormous fangs. Not pin holes that I usually think would be the result from a bite. My uncle worked on the rail road and said they dug up some nice ones weighing well over 50lbs and over 7′ long.
Recent Velvet Tail Killed In Arkansas Near Strawberry River
Crotalus horridus is the timber rattler. There are many sub species in this family of pit vipers. Some call it the "cane break" and most don't get as big as these rare ones. If you find an area that has one, well there is usually another. The neurotoxic component of the Type A venom is referred to as canebrake toxin, and is a phospholipase A2. It is analogous to the neurotoxins found in the venoms of several other rattlesnake species and, when present, contributes significantly to the overall toxicity. Other components found in the venom include a small basic peptide that works as a myotoxin, a fibrinogen-clotting enzyme that can produce defibrination syndrome, and a bradykinin-releasing enzyme.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M.—As firefighters battle blazes in New Mexico and Colorado that have forced evacuations and destroyed hundreds of structures, the U.S. Forest Service chief is renewing his call to restore forests to a more natural state, where fire was a part of the landscape.
Experts say a combination of decades of vigorous fire suppression and the waning of the timber industry over environmental concerns has left many forests a tangled, overgrown mess, subject to the kind of super-fires that are now regularly consuming hundreds of homes and millions of acres.
The Forest Service is on a mission to set the clock back to zero and the urgency couldn't be greater, Tom Tidwell said. The plan calls for accelerating restoration programs—everything from prescribed fire and mechanical thinning—by 20 percent each year in key areas that are facing the greatest danger of a catastrophic fire.
This year's target: 4 million acres. The budget: About $1 billion.
"We need to understand the conditions we're facing today," Tidwell said. "They're different than what we used to deal with. We're seeing erratic fire behavior, more erratic weather."
In southern New Mexico, a lightning-sparked fire raced across more than 37,000 acres in recent days, damaging or destroying at least 224 homes and other structures in the mountains outside of the resort community of Ruidoso.
Officials say the Little Bear fire, which has scorched 58 square miles in the Sierra Blanca range, has been 40 percent contained and firefighters will continue building lines to contain the fire Thursday. But they note that sunny, dry weather will result in more active fire behavior and an increase in visible smoke.
Hundreds of residents have been evacuated but some have begun returning home.
The Colorado blaze, about 15 miles west of Fort Collins, was still spreading. It had burned 78 square miles by Thursday, destroyed more than 100 structures, including at least 31 homes, and forced hundreds of people from their homes.
More than 1,300 firefighters have been working around the clock to build containment lines and protect structures from the fire, which was 10 percent contained.
Authorities have tightly controlled access to the fire and haven't allowed a handful of media representatives to take escorted tours, which is customary at other blazes. Larimer County sheriff Justin Smith said he won't allow reporters in until it's safe enough to allow residents back too.
The fire has canceled shows by Bruce Hornsby and others at an amphitheater in the evacuation area and forced a revision of the final leg of the Ride the Rockies tour. Because of concerns about smoke, cyclists will be given the option of taking a shuttle to the finishing line on Friday in Fort Collins.
The accelerated restoration effort is focused on several landscape-scale projects, the largest of which is a 20-year plan that calls for restoring 2.4 million acres across four forests in northern Arizona. The Forest Service recently awarded a contract to start thinning the first 300,000 acres.
A similar project is planned in the Jemez Mountains of northern New Mexico, where a historic fire ripped through 244 square miles and threatened one of the national's premier nuclear laboratories just last summer.
Another concern is the 8.6 million acres of standing trees killed by beetle infestations. Restoration projects from Oregon and South Dakota to Colorado are aimed at tackling that problem. One of those, the White River National Forest collaborative project, is expected to result in more than 190,000 tons of biomass through thinning.
Forest officials estimate the cost of fire suppression in some of the areas targeted for restoration could be reduced by up to 50 percent because of the work.
The directive doesn't stop at the landscape level, however. Each forest in the Southwest is part of a pilot project that pools regular watershed and wildlife program funds for restoration. Regional forester Corbin Newman said that amounts to millions of dollars.
In an era of tight budgets and taxed resources, forest officials acknowledged that restoration will be a challenge. They said part of the solution is setting priorities and forming more partnerships with states, municipalities and even water utilities given the impacts catastrophic fires can have on watersheds. Some 66 million Americans rely on drinking water that flows from the nation's forests.
Still, there are millions of acres—wilderness and roadless, rugged areas—where mechanical thinning won't be an option. In those areas, fire will have to take its natural course.
"Everybody has to keep in mind that fire will play a huge significant role in our landscape for the rest of time," Newman said. "Sometimes people think through either restoration or suppression we can just make fires go away. We have to remind folks we're just trying put fire back into its natural processes and cycles as opposed to what we're seeing in today's world."
With more natural fires, experts contend the forest has a better chance of recovering. Severe fires tend to sterilize the soil, destroy any banks of seeds stored in the ground and leave mountainsides primed for erosion.
Newman and other forest officials lamented that educating people about the complexity of restoring forests and fire's natural role will take something more than Smokey Bear, the black bear that became the nation's most successful symbol of fire prevention in the 1940s.
Tidwell said campaigns are under way at the federal and state level to address the benefits of restoration, particularly prescribed fire under the right conditions.
"We're going to have trade-offs of either dealing with smoke at different times of the year or dealing with what we're dealing with now," he said, pointing to the fires burning across the country.
Across the West:
— Utah: Two wildfires blackened 4,000 acres in Fishlake National Forest in southern Utah. Meanwhile, a preliminary report found an air tanker that wrecked June 3 while fighting a wildfire in southern Utah veered off its flight path while following a lead plane moments before crashing into mountainous terrain. Both pilots in the tanker died; they were from Boise, Idaho. The National Transportation Safety Board said Wednesday it's still investigating the cause of the crash.
— Wyoming: Investigators have determined a 2,800-acre fire burning in Guernsey State Park was human-caused. It is 95 percent contained, while a 13-square-mile fire in Medicine Bow National Forest is fully contained.
— Arizona: A 2,600-acre wildfire in the Tonto National Forest northwest of Phoenix is 40 percent contained. It's not threatening any buildings. Crews fully contained a wildfire that had forced the evacuation of the historic mining town of Crown King. Firefighters were also maintaining a perimeter around a 500-acre forest fire outside Grand Canyon National Park. The blaze about 11 miles southeast of Grand Canyon Village isn't expected to deter visitors to the park.
Associated Press writers Bob Moen in Cheyenne, Wyo.; and Brian Skoloff in Salt Lake City contributed to this report.

I have uploaded a file, and accidentally it had the wrong name and caption (should be Underground, instead of Underwater). I have been going crazing trying to find out how it's possible to rename the name and the caption. I follow help link to help link and so far nothing. After reading the help info, what is was able to find out is that only admin, file movers, and a few other groups can do it. Since I don't have that op right, I wasn't able to find out: who should I contact in order to request that file and caption rename. Does anyone how to help me? And I think it would be helpful if that info is not more clear on help documentation.

Can't find the link after signing in
I searched for Surat (a city in Gujarat, India), and did some corrections on it without logging in - which means the page exists.
Then when I created a login ID and searched for Surat page, it is nowhere to be found. Why is that so? I know the page exists!
We hired small motorbike in Vang Vieng, Laos from MR TEEP, for 40,000 Kip for the day. We rode to Kaeng Nyui waterfalls, which were 6 Km from town down a bumpy dirt road. We parked the bike next to the ticket kiosk, and when we returned about 30 minutes later, the woman in the kiosk pointed out that our front tyre was flat. She did not speak English, but by gestures offered to phone Mr Teep, which we were grateful for, as our mobiles did not work in Laos. Having spoken to MR TEEP she passed her phone to me, and he explained that he would contact the repair man, who would bring a replacement innertube out and that I would have to pay 50,000 Kip for it. I told him that I had examined the tyre and could see nothing wrong with it and it hopefully only needed pumping up. To which he said that if that was the case, then I would have to pay 2000 or 3000 Kip. The repair man arrived a few minutes later with a sack with a pump and two different size inner tubes and a few tyre levers. He went to speak to the kiosk woman and so I undid his sack and took out the pump. He came across and protested and showed me the new inner tube. I asked how much, and he wrote 50,000 on his hand. I said "No" and attached the pump and pumped up the tyre. I disconnected the pump and listened for air coming out. It seemed OK. So I decided to ride back to the town and check the tyre again then, knowing that I would probably be able to get it pumped up there. I offered the repairman 3000, but he wanted 5000, which I paid him. When we got back to town the tyre was OK, and we realised that the woman at the kiosk must have let the tyre down, so that the repairman could swap a perfectly OK tube for an extortionate charge!!! We used the bike for rest of the day, with no problems. Being in the middle of nowhere without a pump and not speaking the language, most people may well have paid up and been non-the-wiser. I also feel sure that MR TEEP must have been in on it! Otherwise he would have been suspicious of the number of flat tyres being reported to him by the kiosk woman!! Don't hire from MR TEEP and more importantly do not park your bike near the ticket kiosk. Other people had taken their motorbikes nearer to the falls, where there is more parking.

Dallas Cowboys Weekly Poll Results
Here are the results of last week's poll question which asked…
Which of these players would be missed most, if they missed the season opener?
I don't think it was much of a surprise that 62% of you chose Terence Newman over Terry Glenn, who came in a distant second with only 30%. The Cowboy's secondary has been a source of great concern this off season and pre season. For the Cowboys to succeed on defense, they will need a healthy Terence Newman to be effective.
Well it's that time of the year again where we ask you the fans how you think the Dallas Cowboys will do this season!
By now, most of you have already looked at the new schedule and have a few ideas about how tough or how easy the Cowboys will have it this year.
Last year the majority of you were dead on accurate with the number of wins you predicted. Let's see how good you can do this time!
Here is the question…
How Many Regular Season Games Will The Cowboys Win This Season?
1. 12 or more games
2. 10-11 games
3. 8-9 games
4. 6-7 games
5. 5 games or less
There you go! Get your predictions in, and next week around this time, we will let you know the results.
Go Cowboys!

Nothing More Play 'Would You Rather?'
It has been one hell of a year for rock outfit Nothing More, who have been touring in promotion of their self-titled album and are getting ready for a massive upcoming trek with none other than Five Finger Death Punch, Volbeat and Hellyeah. During a recent interview, we decided to play a little game of 'Would You Rather?' with frontman Jonny Hawkins, bassist Daniel Oliver and guitarist Mark Vollelunga (who jumps in at the end). Check out our 'Would You Rather?' session with the guys in Nothing More:
Would you rather be really late for a show or mess up onstage?
Jonny Hawkins: I'd rather mess up onstage because I've gotten really good at playing it off since I do mess up a lot. I think being late would be so much more stressful because we require so much setup time but messing up royally -- been there, done that.
Daniel Oliver: Yeah, I would agree. If you're late, people are waiting on you, it's an a—hole move. We've all had some pretty epic falls and all kinds of weird things happen to us onstage.
Would you rather be in the studio or on tour?
JH: I personally rather be in the studio just because I do a lot of the recording process. It's more stressful for me than being on the road but it's also more exciting to me. You have your own bed at least and you get to be with your loved ones and you're creating something new. The live shows are awesome in all the other ways that the studio isn't.
DO: Aside from being home, I'd rather be on the road. Mainly because I'm really bad with details so the studio drives me crazy -- eight hours and we're still on this one little thing.
Would you rather have a massive bank account or a massive fan base?
JH: I'd rather have a massive bank account because I could always make a massive fan base with it. [Laughs] If you use it right, if you invest your money right, then the massive bank account is an opportunity. Having a massive fan base is, as well. I don't know!
DO: I'd rather be a poor well revered artist than a rich man, for sure. Now, a poor and not popular artist -- that would suck. [Laughs]
Would you rather tour with a band you didn't respect or tour with a band that didn't respect you?
DO: I'd rather tour with a band I didn't respect, probably because I'd have the upper hand it feels like, probably.
JH: Selfish but true, not selfish but honest. I would say the same thing because a band that doesn't respect you, you can't really do anything about that. If you don't respect another band then you can control how you act.
Would you rather have lunch with a music icon who has passed or a future music icon no one really knows about yet? (If music icon in the past, Who would it be and why?)
JH: Music icon, oh man, I think John Lennon. No, I'm changing my answer to Bob Marley -- that would be way cooler and plus we'd get to smoke out while having a conversation.
If you weren't in a band, would you rather be a tour manager or a roadie? Why, and for which band?
DO: A tour manager, definitely not for Motley Crue. [Laughs] I don't know, it might actually be really fun. Who knows? It seems like it would be a lot of work though.
JH: A tour manager, I don't know if Muse has pyro but I'd like to tour manage a band like Muse because it's a very progressive live show and so much cool technology.
Mark Vollelunga: I'd totally want to tour manage someone like Justin Timberlake, so much production and the quality of the show. Also, you wouldn't just be around sweaty dudes all the time.
Would you rather live in a world where people break into song or people break into mosh pits?
DO: Song for sure.
JH: Song, I just feel like I would have coffee in my hand and then everybody starts moshing and coffee spills everywhere.
DO: It wouldn't be cool if you had to go to the bathroom and all of a sudden a mosh starts.
Would you rather be an '80s rock band in present day or would you rather be Nothing More in the '80s? Why.
MV: So Steel Panther or…
DO: I definitely would want to be us in the '80s.
JH: Yeah, we'd probably do a lot of drugs too, before anybody learned. Now we've gotten smarter.

Ratings for Dr. James D. Haines
Dr. Haines has delivered both of my daughters. I already felt really lucky and in good hands on the first. After the second very relieved I had dr.haines! He knew something was wrong with the baby's heart (I believe) at the second to last appointment but didn't tell me and cause any panic that could do damage :). He waited until the following week when I saw him and sent me to a dr that just does ultrasounds. I was there for hours! In the end the dr. Thought 70% chance the baby had titrology of falo (spelling?!) where the valves at the top of the heart are in the wrong order and would need immediate surgery. So we went home and cried for the next 48 hours until we had nothing left. Meanwhile dr. Haines had scheduled a team of the right people to be there and induce me the next day. It. Was my other daughters birthday! We didn't even need to tell people who we were when checking in. I was in labor anyway and when she arrived had an irregular rhythm but no surgeries or medicine! Dr. Vernon is a great cardiologist too if you need one!
Dr. Haines was wonderful! Most of my appointments were on time or within the hour scheduled. Dr. Haines is very understanding, personable and really wanted pregnancy/birth to be my experience. I would and have recommended him to my friends. He and the staff made it a great process.
Dr. Haines delivered both of my kids-he is kind, smart and has a calm encouraging demeanor in the delivery room. I would use him again.
I had my baby delivered in 2008 by Dr Haines. I cannot forget his thorough knowledge, patience, empathy. He carefully listened and addressed all our questions. My case was complex with my type 2 diabetes and pre-term conditions. Dr Haines stopped the baby coming out in 7th month. He is very very knowledgeable in his stuff. We are very grateful to Dr Haines for his service.
so, i am updating my rating from be4 high risk over 35 and in my 8th month due to deliver next month.I have decided to stay with Dr Haines after much investigation and meet and greets with other Dr's. i am also an RN so i would catergorize myself as very "Demanding" and somewhat knowledgable about the field so therefore not an easy patient to have on board. Dr Haines has never rushed me out and answers all questions and concerns genuinely. He even shared with me at an appt his experience with a hip replacement surgery. He is Honest and truly caring. I have run into people from waitress at PF Changs to top execs at Microsoft wives... I feel very safe in his care and hopefully all will go well for my c section delivery...again i will update on this site periodically about my experience with this clinic. BTW the staff are courteous and helpful as well, which makes it easier to visit on a weekly basis...
I am currently pregnant and high risk as i am over 35 with some medical issues. I came to Dr. Haines on a recommendation and feel very happy so far with his demeanor and his calm and confident manner. I am planning my c-section with and i am quite confident i will stay with him through out the rest of my pregnancy. I will however update here if i choose to leave for any reason or feel less confident with the practice. I have only seen him once and am going for second appt end of April 09.So far so good!
Dr. Haines has a high reputation in Bellevue and has been practicing for many years. He is knowledgable, answers questions, is caring and his staff is great!
I love Dr. Haines!! Although he isn't my regular Ob-gyn; he was there when I went into labor and my obgyn wasn't available at that time. He has such a calm, reassuring voice; it can do wonders for you when you're in labor and panicking! He came in to check on me, told me exactly what was going on with me and how they planned to proceed with the delivery. I am very happy with my current obgyn (Dr lawler from the same practice), but I'd say Dr Haines is 'as good, just better' than Dr Lawler!! :) I believe he is the Chairperson of the Child birth center at Overlake hospital now; they couldn't have gone with a better or more experienced person!

Aion: The Tower of Eternity
In the beginning, Aion benevolently watched over his world Atreia. He created the humans, and the Balaur to safeguard and watch over them. Eventually, the Balaur became obsessed with power and subjugation. Five of the Balaur rose to a height of strength above the rest, and became known as the five Dragon Lords. When Aion refused to grant them the power they desired, the power to rival his own, they revolted and declared war on the god that created them. Aion's hand was forced, and he created the twelve Empyrean Lords, beings of divinity and power to protect the Tower of Eternity.
Some humans "ascended" to become Daeva and, like the Empyrean Lords, had wings and the ability to fight the Balaur. With time, enough Daevas rose to form an army. The Empyrean Lords would lead the Daeva into battle and fight ceaselessly. Eventually an attempt at peace with the Balaur was made. The five Drakan Lords were invited inside the barrier for peace talks, but before the peace-talks could begin, one of the Drakan Lords was nearly assassinated by an unknown assailant. In the fighting that followed, the Tower of Eternity was destroyed, resulting in the cataclysm that broke Atreia in half. Five Empyrean Lords, most of whom opposed the peace treaty, came to power in the dark part of the world, "Asmodae," and became known as the Shedim Lords. Another five who had mostly desired peace became the Seraphim Lords and ruled over the lower half of Atreia, "Elysea." Two of the Empyrean Lords sacrificed themselves to keep Atreia from crumbling entirely.
Those that lived in the light part of the world, the Elyos, saw little change. These followers of the Seraphim Lords created the city of Sanctum. The inhabitants of the upper part, the Asmodians, saw many changes. Their hands became claw-like, their feet became talons. The darkness made their complexion cool, and their eyes grew red adapting to the absence of light. They live in the city of Pandaemonium under the rule of the Shedim Lords.

Icahn takes a bigger slice of Chesapeake Energy
NEW YORK - Activist investor Carl Icahn bumped up his stake in Chesapeake Energy, a company where he has already pushed for sweeping changes in governance.
Shares rose 1.6 percent Tuesday before the opening bell.
A regulatory filing shows that Icahn now owns 8.98 percent, compared with a 7.6 percent stake in the Oklahoma City company he held this summer. Icahn first invested in Chesapeake Energy Corp. in May.
Chesapeake is one of the nation's largest natural gas producers. It has been reeling from a combination of historically low natural gas prices and questions from investors about its management.
Since Icahn first bought up shares, he's pushed for a slew of changes, including stripping CEO Aubrey McClendon of the chairmanship.
Investors revolted after a series of corporate governance issues surfaced. They were angered by reports that McClendon was accepting personal loans from a company that was doing business with Chesapeake.
Icahn also shook up the company board. In June, Chesapeake Energy Corp. appointed four new directors that were hand-picked by the company's largest investors.
The company lost more than half of its market value in the three months leading up to Icahn's initial investment, but shares have since increased by about 20 percent.
The stock took a downward again turn this month after the company reported a third-quarter loss on a 25 percent drop in revenue, partially as a result of lower natural gas prices and one-time charges. Chesapeake said it expects its natural gas production to decline 7 percent next year as it focuses on oil and gas liquids. It predicted liquids production would increase 29 percent in 2013.
The company has also announced plans to sell off vast portions of its land and infrastructure - something Icahn pushed for. It also is trying to pay off a heavy debt load incurred in recent years as it rushed to buy land and other assets.

Paul Allen Files Amended Patent Lawsuit; Shows It's Even More Ridiculous Than We Originally Thought
from the related-items? dept
As a reminder, here are the patents he's suing over:
- 6,263,507: "Browser for use in navigating a body of information, with particular application to browsing information represented by audio data."
- 6,034,652 & 6,788,314 (really the same patent, involving continuations): "Attention manager for occupying the peripheral attention of a person in the vicinity of a display device"
- 6,757,682: "Alerting users to items of current interest"
Then there's the next two (related) patents ('652 and '314), about "peripheral attention." According to Allen, the use of products that pop up a little notifier in the corner of your screen window violate this patent: so AOL, Google and Yahoo all violate this because of the little instant messenger/email pop up tools they offer. Apple supposedly violates this because of the Apple Dashboard and related widgets that pop up information such as sports scores and weather. Really, Paul? You want to claim ownership of any system that pops up information in the corner of your screen? That's sickeningly broad.
Finally, the last patent (the '682 patent), he appears to be claiming that it covers making recommendations to users on things they might like. So, the fact that AOL will alert you to products you might like? Infringing. Same with all the other companies, who all offer basic recommendations of one form or another because offering recommendations is one of the most obvious things out there.
To say that Allen's interpretation of what these patents cover is extraordinarily broad would be to downplay the concept of broad interpretations of patents. Allen's interpretations are so broad as to make a mockery of the entire patent system, and how ridiculous concepts put forth in a patent can (years later) cover a significant number of all websites out there, all doing obvious things to make their websites useful to users. Honestly, reading through the details makes me wonder if the conspiracy theory that some have put forth -- that Allen is doing this just to demonstrate how silly patents have become -- seems somewhat more plausible. I still don't really believe that, but either way, this lawsuit certainly represents the madness of the patent system.

A wise friend, Tamura Jones, wrote an article titled Genealogy without Proof is Mythology, attempting to trace the origin of the phrase. No, I don't think the man is tilting at windmills. His study is a "type" for how we should conduct ourselves as genealogists -- attempting to find the source of information, rather than perpetuating a myth.
Tamura worked through his article's content, attempting to report occurrences of the phrase on the Internet, including time-qualified Google searches from 1994 to the present. Because I know Tamura, I trust his citations and quotes are accurate. However as a responsible researcher, I should spot check his searches to see if they can be duplicated. (If there are discrepancies, I'd have to work through them, wouldn't I?) Tamura also contacted numerous individuals who may have personal knowledge of, among other things, the supposed first expression of the phrase "Genealogy without proof is Mythology", including Ol' Myrt here. He was seeking information about the supposed originator of the phrase.
As I write this now, it occurs to me to suggest Tamura look through PERSI (Periodical Source Index) to see if the phrase is found in genealogical publications that are part of the Allen County Public Library's extensive genealogy department magazine and journal collection, some of which date back to 1847 publication dates. This might bring additional light to the subject, but I digress.
Basically, Tamura reported his findings, leaving them for all to evaluate. Some may have additional insights not known at the time he published the article. One advantage of the Internet is "putting it out there" for others to peruse and evaluate, possibly inspiring collaboration.
Objectively reporting findings and "putting it out there" are precisely what genealogists and historians must do when nailing down the origin of any idea, thought, or "factoid" about a historical figure ~ in the family or otherwise. Sadly, few quick-fix genealogists do this and so myths are perpetuated.
Sometimes phrases become so main stream, that they are just accepted as universal facts. Take for example:
- "The world isn't flat."
A second example might be:
- US President John F. Kennedy was shot and killed in Dallas, Texas by Lee Harvey Oswald.
|from WikiPedia
"Mom liked to lick butter from the butter churn."
isn't nearly as informative as:
"Grandma Frances told us how her daughter, our mom, used to get 'lost' at about 3-4 years of age. She said you could be sure to find her out on the back porch sticking her finger in the butter churn, licking the residue from the morning's work."
Didn't take much to include the informant, and her relationship to our mom, now did it? And it sure explained who told the story (our mom certainly didn't!) and set the story in the context of time.
As always let's CONSIDER THE SOURCE and be sure to mention it in our work.
Happy family tree climbing!
Myrt :)
Your friend in genealogy.

Purcell scores twice, Garon makes 27 saves in Lightning's 2-1 win over StarsNHL.com @NHLdotcom
DALLAS - Teddy Purcell scored twice, and Mathieu Garon made 27 saves to help the Tampa Bay Lightning beat the Dallas Stars 2-1 on Friday night.
With the game even at one, Purcell carried the puck from the right circle into the slot and backhanded a shot past goalie Kari Lehtonen at 3:36 of the final period for Purcell's 11th of the season.
Martin St. Louis had the primary assist on each of Purcell's goals.
The Lightning have allowed the most goals in the NHL this season (160) and had given up three or more goals in each of their last seven games.
But Garon and the Tampa Bay defence shut down a Dallas offence that has managed four goals in the last four games.
Dallas is without its top two centres, all-star Jamie Benn (appendectomy) and Mike Ribeiro (knee).
The Lightning have won two straight following a seven-game winless streak (0-6-1).
Tom Wandell scored and Lehtonen stopped 20 shots for the Stars, 1-4-1 in their last six.
Purcell was alone in the slot and flipped a wrist shot past Lehtonen with 1:12 left in the first period.
The Lightning dominated the first period with a 13-5 shots advantage.
Garon was down for several minutes in the crease at 4:33 of the second period with an apparent right shoulder injury after he collided with teammate Steven Stamkos on a scramble in front of the net, but Garon remained in the game.
The Stars drew even at one at 1:22 of the third period when Loui Eriksson's centring pass glanced off Wandell's skate and past Garon. The goal was upheld when a video review showed that Wandell didn't kick the puck into the net.
NOTES: Tampa Bay is without D Victor Hedman (concussion), D Marc-Andre Bergeron (back), RW Adam Hall (arm), D Mattias Ohlund (knee), RW Ryan Shannon (lower body) and RW R.T. Wyman (finger). ... The teams were meeting for the only time this season. ... Dallas is 4 for 45 on the power play in the last 14 games. Tampa Bay is 2 for 27 with the man advantage in its last nine games. ... The Lightning were 0-5-1 in their last six on the road.

May is National Bike Month, and that definitely showed at our over 100 stores all across the country. Our amazing store teams were hard at work all month putting on clinics, supporting rides and generally helping out in their local cycling communities. If you want more info about your local Performance Bicycle, check your local store page for regularly scheduled Spin Doctor clinics & group rides. So let's get started with highlights from events our stores were involved with last month.
Our Santa Rosa, CA store was able to jump into two major events in one busy weekend. First off, we were able to kick off a great relationship with the Life Time Fitness Gran Fondo Series (look for more of these events across the nation coming soon). One of our aid stations had the good fortune to be placed in the tasting room parking lot of Chalk Hill Winery. Not a bad view for a rest stop, but while we gazed out on the vineyards, the riders were suffering up the first of the major climbs!
We kept the riders fueled up with GU Energy Gel and plenty of water for the ride, then packed up to head to the finish line party. Couldn't help but notice a good number of pro teams out on the roads as we drove through the winding roads of Santa Rosa.
What were they doing there? Why, preparing for the Amgen Tour of California of course! The next day was the first stage and the place to be was downtown Santa Rosa.
We were lucky enough to be able to set up right in the Lifestyle Festival and it was crowded! Our booth was busy all day long, and excited cycling fans stopped by non-stop from when we set up in the morning until later that evening.
Why were the crowds so thick? Because we were giving away a Fuji Absolute 3.0 of course (surely it didn't have anything to do with the ProTour race happening a few feet away). It was a great opportunity to get out of the shop and chat with people on the sunny streets of Santa Rosa.
Also, who could pass up the opportunity to see the crowd go nuts for hometown hero Levi Leipheimer! Levi was awarded a special jersey in honor of his achievements in cycling and his charitable efforts in his community – Levi's GranFondo raised over $250,000 for charity last year!
2 members of our Newark, DE store were honored to participate in the Police Unity Tour Chapter 9 (PUT C9) ride last month. Becky and Todd Keyser served as bicycle mechanics for the ride, which was a fundraiser for the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund. Becky and Todd were a jack-of-all-trades for the 85 Law Enforcement Officer riders that participated in the tour, making sure that the riders and their bikes were properly cared for on their journey from Valley Forge, PA to Washington, DC.
Our mechanics put in almost 40 hours over the 4 days, and kept all of the riders on the road. It was a privilege to support this ride, which helped bring public awareness of Law Enforcement Officers who have died in the line of duty and to honor their sacrifices.
Moving on to Bike to Work Week, our Downtown Portland, OR store had a very successful Bike to Work Day breakfast/safety check station. Their tent was set up early with a work stand and tools, plus doughnuts, coffee, and cycling nutrition for the commuter crowd. The doughnuts and coffee were a big hit, and our team installed brake pads, sold a lock, and performed adjustments on a number of bikes.
Bike to Work Day at our Tukwila, WA store was done in conjunction with the Boeing Customer Service group. At the request of the Cascade Cycling Club, they set up directly on the Green River Bike Path entrance near the Boeing Customer Service Building parking lot. Our team provided mechanical support, water bottles and snacks starting at 6 AM, while Boeing ran some fun giveaways. It was a busy morning with lots of bar and seat adjustments, chain lubing, gear adjustments, tire pressure adjustments and flat repairs.
Our Redmond, WA store teamed up with the Greater Redmond Transportation Management Association for Bike to Work Day. With their help we were able to set up a stop along the 520 bicycle trail – the GRTMA provided food and small giveaways, while our store supplied two mechanics. We did safety inspections, basic fixes, and spoke with many of the 700 riders that passed our station.
At our Kearney Mesa, CA store, we celebrated Bike to Work Day directly in front of the store. We provided nutrition, adjustments, inflation, water bottles, hydration, commuting tips, commuter maps and a friendly hello! We had 90 commuters stop by our pit stop, an all time high for this event. Bike to Work Day has grown each year that we have participated, thanks this year to store associates Jerrin Kelley and Mac McCarthy.
Our Seattle, WA store participated in Bike to Work Day at a popular bike route in the Seattle area (right in front of the KEXP radio station building). We provided basic adjustments to commuters and gave out nutrition samples and promotional items. Our store team consisted of our two Head Mechanics, David Hays and Paul Richards, our Store Manager, Mike Brady, and our District Manager, Brian Onutz. Our team had great company at their rest stop, as they were joined by the Cascade Cycling Club, KEXP, and Jamba Juice. Over 100 people come through our station, including the Mayor of Seattle, Mike McGinn.
Also from our Seattle store on Bike to Work Week, our team was set up for a morning on a major commuter route for Seattleites, the Burke Gillman trail. The weather was chilly but turnout was still surprisingly good – aided by the fact that our booth had support from a local bakery supplying coffee and cookies.
Sticking with our Seattle store, they also participated in the UW Bike Party, put on by the always active Cascade Cycling Club. We were there with several other organizations, from the Seattle Police Department to a DJ playing music. Our Store Manager, Mike Brady, and our Lead Mechanic, David Hayes, helped out with many brake and gear adjustments for the UW students and community members in attendance.
Staying in Washington state, our Tukwila, WA store helped out at the Earthworks Bike Tour, again organized by the Cascade Cycling Club. The ride was to celebrate the improvements to the Herbert Bayer Earthworks City Park, including short bike paths and city artwork installations. We performed mechanical support and discussed some component and bike fit solutions with several riders, to help them with their ride.
Our Woodland Hills, CA store showed up in support of the "Crusin the Conejo 2012" event, on a perfect Saturday – with a slight breeze and a cool tailwind for the riders. The event was a multi-tiered road ride from 12K- 100K that lasted the whole day – our team supported a rest stop on the last leg of the century ride, aided by some Boy Scouts. We assisted in gear and brake adjustments, flat repair, chain lubing and anything else to keep the riders on the road.
Our La Mesa and Kearney Mesa, CA stores helped out with an event organized by the San Diego Police Department. The exhibitors included law enforcement, fire departments, recreational groups, an anti-gang bicycle club, and other community resource groups. We were there with Rady Children's Hospital's child safety program. They were doing helmet giveaways and a bicycle obstacle course teaching traffic safety. Associates Tommy Iglesias and Jerrin Kelley demonstrated proper helmet fit, and performed safety inspections of bikes, free adjustments, and taught kids some basic bike maintenance.
Our Greenwood, IN store partnered with JDRF, the leading global organization focused on type 1 diabetes (T1D) research. Members of the local chapter meet up for local rides from our store, and last month we hosted them for a clinic on how to change a flat tire. We welcomed many new guests to our store, and taught folks some new skills.
Keeping with the clinic theme, our Greenwood, IN store teamed up with the Greenwood VFW Post and the Greenwood and White River Valley Fire Departments to help put on a safety clinic for kids. Associates Mary, Dan, and Jeff from our store met with the kids to fit them for a free helmet and have them run through a course that had been laid out to teach them riding safety and the rules of the road. The children had to stop for simulated train tracks, stop and look both ways at an intersection, and run through cones and a figure 8 as part of this learning experience. At the end they were also instructed on proper hand signals while on a bicycle, and treated to free food giveaways and a raffle.
Our Greensboro store was represented by Store Manager Jeff Morrison at the Skills Clinic and Night Ride at Lake Brandt Marina. The event, hosted by the Greensboro Fat Tire Society in conjunction with the Greensboro Police Department, was attended by 10 riders at the twilight skills clinic and 13 riders at the night trail ride. Jeff offered maintenance on site and provided refreshments for the riders, and had three lights for riders to test during the trail ride.
Our Dayton, OH store provided road side SAG support for the Huffman Spring Classic for the 3rd year in a row. This great event had a turnout of more double last year. This year there was very little in the need of services, but our team still filled up tires, made some minor gear adjustments and checked air pressure before the riders left. As you can see above, there was a tasty meal at the end of this 100 mile ride.
And finally, here are a few shots from our monthly basic bike maintenance clinic. Here's our San Antonio, TX store.
And here's the crowd at our Plano, TX store. Remember to check your local store page for regularly scheduled Spin Doctor clinics and other events.
