text: DEMCiflex Computer and Electronic Dust Filters fits over the air intakes of your electronic or computer equipment by way of a built-in magnetic frame. It was designed to fit on the outside of the case and needs no screws, tools or special skills. The design allows everybody to use it no matter what their skill level. No need to open the case or undo anything at all. The intake vents we refer to are the grills or ventilation holes in your computer's case where cooling air enters the case. Some of these vents may have fans mounted behind it to direct the airflow in any specific direction and others are unfanned. To determine which vents are intakes we suggest making use of a sheet of paper. With the computer or electronic unit switched on and running, loosely hold a sheet of thin paper in front of every vent opening or grill. If the sheet moves closer to the case and get sucked against it, then you would know that this vent is an intake vent and needs to be filtered. Choose the filter(s) that would best cover that opening. Dust can however enter the case through a myriad of other openings in the case like Optical Drives,USB and other ports that will be very hard to filter. The solution is in setting up your system to be positive pressure and to filter the intakes. In short this means that more air must enter the case where it can be filtered so that the higher pressure inside the case will leak out of every crack and port in the casing so stopping dust from entering there. To read about how to achieve this please see our section on performance/positive pressure. DEMCiflex Computer Air Filters fits by way of a magnetic frame that is part of its structural design. This would adhere directly to the case and in the event that the case is non-ferrous (it has no iron in it's composition so that a magnet is not attracted to it) we supply you with a peel and stick magnetic frame that is fitted onto your PC case, around the air intake area. DEMCiflex Dust Filter will attach to this frame, making it easy to remove and clean when necessary. We also offer free Filter Alarm Software that will alert you when the filter needs cleaning. The mesh that acts as filter will separate dust and debris from the cooling air without adversely affecting or restricting the flow.

South Korean PM Resigns Over Ferry Disaster
South Korean Prime Minister Chung Hong-won resigned on Sunday over the government's response to the April 16 ferry disaster.
The Sewol ferry sank on a routine trip south from the port of Incheon to the traditional holiday island of Jeju.
"Keeping my post too great a burden on the administration," a sombre Chung said in a brief announcement.
Chung was booed and someone threw a water bottle at him when he visited grieving parents the day after the disaster.
More than 300 people, most of them students and teachers from one high school on a field trip, have died or are missing and presumed dead. The children were told to stay put in their cabins, where they waited for further orders. The confirmed death toll on Sunday was 187.
Tempers have frayed over the slow pace of the recovery and frequent changes in information provided by the government, including at one time by a local government that everyone had been rescued.

I'm finishing off preparations to my Oughtred Fulmar for this year's Small Reach Regatta by checking off the safety items on the skipper's info sheet. One of the items is a requirement that "you must be able to block water from coming in your centerboard trunk". This got me thinking since I have taken to adding about 100 pounds of ballast next to the case anytime I am singlehanding to calm the boat down a bit, so I put in at a local lake and bailed water into the boat. Even with watertight decks fore and aft the water level in the case was only a few inches lower than the level inside the boat when the excess started to drain out the case.
My biggest concern is that with another crew member I will have to leave them in the water after a capsize until I can get the boat bailed enough to pull them over the side. In other words, the weight of another crew seems like it would be too much to keep from flooding in through the open case. Here's are pics of the configuration:
P2070453.jpgCenterboard case.jpg
As I see it I have four options: lash in some flotation under the side benches, ditch the ballast, leave the case open but raise the sides up a few inches, or enclose the case completely. I think enclosing the case completely would eliminate the chance of flooding through the case but would involve reshaping the centerboard for clearance under a cap and adding at least a 2-1 uphaul and either a downhaul or some weight in the board. I'm reluctant to go that route so close to the regatta without time shake out any problems that may arise but in the long haul this plan may be the best.
So, what am I missing? I know there's a whole fleet of Caledonia yawls participating that use the same open slot arrangement so I suspect there's a gap in my understanding.
Thanks in advance,

A Fair Isle Cowl with Antje GillinghamFair Isle or stranded knitting is the technique used to work patterns with multiple yarns and colors in a row or round.
There are several ways to work a Fair Isle pattern but we will specifically explore holding a yarn in each hand and weaving in (tacking) the yarn floats behind the pattern as we go along. Once conquered, this is one of the fastest and smoothest ways to knit Fair Isle. The magic word to success: Practice, practice, practice.
SuppliesHomework using 200 yds of #4 (worsted weight) yarn for background in a solid or semi-solid color (MC), 110 yds of #4 (worsted weight) yarn for pattern color in a solid, semi-solid or long-print variegated color which compliments background color (CC), 5mm/US 7 circular needle (24").
Sharp scissors, notebook, pen or pencil with an eraser, stitch markers, blunt tapestry needles (large and small), flexible tape measure, small calculator, and needles & crochet hooks of various sizes.
HomeworkWith background (MC) color and 5mm/US 7 needle, cast on 110 sts. Being careful not to twist sts, place marker and join in the round, purl 1 round (do not cut yarn). With secondary color (CC), knit 1 round, then purl 1 round (do not cut yarn). Switch to MC and knit 1 round.

Here are some of the biggest customer FAQ's when they switch to VoIP.
See all the questions on the FAQ's page here.
There are lots of great benefits associated with VoIP, but first and foremost, VoIP is much cheaper than other phone service options. Customers have reported savings of up to 90% every month with the top residential and business VoIP providers.
How Does VoIP work? VoIP uses an Internet connection in place of old analog copper telephone wires. This makes the process of sending phone calls much cheaper and easier with VoIP, which results in a cheaper VoIP service.
VoIP services are extremely cheap, around $20/month on average for a hosted PBX solution for a business, and around $7/month for a residential VoIP solution. And because VoIP is a hosted solution, customers can also save a lot on costs of maintenance and repair.
VoIP works with IP phones, and with old phones with ATAs (analog telephone adapters). There are lots of options in VoIP hardware and customers can keep old systems or buy new ones as appropriate.

text: 12/7/08 Mapsource Auto Routing V2 This is an update to the original tutorial created by CMWoodys. Regretfully, Woody kinda Hulked Out and as he departed ADV, deleted all his linked images and files, rendering the original tutorial fairly worthless. I finally have a little time to spend recreating something simillar with new images and info. I've left the original responses in the original tutorial and locked it. Lots of good information there as well. Feel free to add to this thread with additional tips and tricks. Administratia This tutorial is for Garmin GPS units and is based on Mapsource v6.13.7, the last "good" version before the release of the resource hog that is v6.14. The basic concepts will work in any current version of Mapsource. If you have an older version, you may want to update it to one of the newer versions. It appears Garmin has removed the downloadable version of 6.13.7 from its website, but a web search will locate one for you. Use this at your own risk. I'm not responsible for anything, nor is ADV, and so on, and so on..... Don't be a dope and create a route that takes you over the edge of a mountain, or through the 'hood, when trying to get to Grandma's for the holiday. Before you Start Which map data do you have? Garmin sells a lot of different map sets. If you have an older version of Roads & Recreation, or Topo 2008 or older Topo, they are not able to produce automatic routing in Mapsource, or on your GPS. Sets like City Navigator (CN) & City Navigator NT (NT), older maps sets like City Select, and Topo 24K contain routable roads, as do others. Check the Garmin website for details. Also - even though you lay out a route in Mapsource, when you download it to your GPS, you may get a significantly different result. Units like the 276 & 376 won't recalculate your route when loading, but the 60CSX, 378 and others will when the route is activated. Calculating a route in Mapsource with one map and downloading it to a GPS which has a different map will also create some unanticipated results. And - there are settings in Mapsource and on your GPS that will affect how autoroutes are created. If you go to the menu selections in Mapsource and select Edit|Preferences|Routing you will see what yours are. For these examples, mine are set like this: Different settings will likely produce different results depending on available roads. Also - Mapsource provides multiple ways to do things. For these examples, make sure you have the Tools toolbar turned on. If it's not, right click on the toolbar and then click on Tools to activate. How to First, if you have multiple map sets for Mapsource, make sure you have a routable map set selected. For this example, like Woody's, I'll use Utah and Arizona, and route from Red Mesa, AZ to Hurricane, UT. Move your map to a point where you can see at least the starting point of your desired route. Normally, the city names would be visible. I've set them as waypoints so they would be easier to see. Select the Routing tool. It is the one next to the arrow on the tool bar that is two purple lines connecting three square black dots. Click on Red Mesa, then Hurricane, and you should see a straight line between the two. So long as you have a routable map set loaded, Mapsource should then auto route between the two. With my settings, I get the following. If that's the route you want, you can then download it to your GPS. Make sure you have the same maps loaded into the GPS so it will know where to go. You can use the Arrow icon and click on the route to select it, then use Edit|Select Maps Around Route to get all of the maps you need. You can also manually select maps. Either way, when you load the route to your GPS, load the maps if you don't already have them loaded. Modifying an Autoroute If you don't like where Mapsource wants to take you, it can be modified. Use the selection tool to click once on the route. It should turn yellow and a straight line will appear. Then drag it up to the point you would like to include in your route and click once. After clicking, Mapsource will recalculate the route including the new point. If you are happy with the route, you are done. If not, repeat the process of pointing, clicking, and dragging the route where you want it to go. To get the desired results on your GPS, you need to have the identical map segments on the GPS as are on your computer. If they are different, you could get a message on your GPS telling you the route does not match the available maps and asking you if you want to recalculate. When recalculating, the GPS will make its own decisions on how to route which likely will not match what you laid out in Mapsource You can select all the map segments around the route by clicking once on the route (it will turn yellow) then click on Edit|Select Maps around Route. You can then load them to the GPS along with the route. What the heck is a Via Point? When you modify an autoroute, it will be with either a waypoint, or a via point. What's the difference between the two? From a navigation standpoint, not much - they both provide a means of modifying a route to match the way you want to go. Unlike a waypoint though, a via point will not appear in your waypoint list, even though it will appear in the route. Notice the two intermediate points with black squares. These are Via Points and are included in your route. But if you look in you Waypoint list, they do not appear. Different GPS units have different limits on the number of waypoints and via points that can be included in a route. Check your unit to see what the limits are. Why Can't I get there from here? Or - why am I getting strange results Let's say you want to go south from this point and you know the road connects because you have been through there before. But - when you go to autoroute, you get this instead What can you do? Well, the short answer for those still learning is "not much". The problem is that in CN, the road is not shown as connecting. The same kind of thing has occured for folks trying to route south from San Diego into Tijuana. For some reason, CN 2008 didn't show a road connection across the border. What are your alternatives? Well - if you have a unit like the 276/376/478 that does not automatically recalc on loading the route, there are advanced ways of connecting up the routes. The easy alternative is to just create two routes and load them both to the GPS. You can then load the next route when you come to the end of the current route that does not connect. So What Else Do I Need to Do? Play with Mapsource - a lot - and frequently. Don't read this the night before you want to go out on a trip across the U.S., or around the world and expect to get it right. And download lots of routes to your GPS and work with it - often. The easiest way to do this is in the cage with someone else driving. You can then play with the GPS without worrying about wrecking the vehicle while you 're learning. As noted above, there are often multiple ways to do things in Mapsource. Pointing and clicking, working with the keyboard, etc. Again - use the product, spend time playing and learning, and you will become proficient. Every product has a learning curve, and this one is no different. So What is a Direct (Point to Point) Route? Ahhh - a very good question. It is a collection of wapoints with straight lines in between. You can try this by going to your routing preferences and clicking the radio button. Like via points and waypoints in an autoroute, different GPS units have different limits on how many points can be included in a direct route. Check your particular GPS's specs for details. A Copy of the file, please? Right now, attachments to the site are restricted, but as soon as they are available again, I will attach a gpx file with the route that is shown above. Hope this helps. If anyone notices anything that doesn't seem correct, please let me know so I can review and fix as needed. Dave

No Equipment for Strike Force
- it's all smoke and mirrors. 50 2 year wonders detailed to MSF today..yet no new cars or radios...be riding 4 deep...the public will see the same amount of cars out there...how stupid
- This is off the topic, but I was not sure how to bring it to anyone's attention. According to fleet in order to supply enough cars for the new Summer Initiatives, cars that were scheduled to be junked are being call ed back into service. Mars lights are being reinstalled at area 1 as I write this. This does not effect me directly, but shouldn't this be a safety issue? Two weeks ago a department already short on cars was ready to junk them, but now they are [acceptable]?
We thought we had someone intimately familiar with Fleet operations working in HQ now? Someone foisted on the Police Department following a "Love Boat" type tour through other city agencies and following a 30-day-suspension for those transgressions?
We're sure all these cars have been refurbished to exacting standards for the long hot summer ahead.

'Modern Family' expands its cast a wee bit
LOS ANGELES — It's a boy!
Modern Family's blessed event arrived on Wednesday's episode, as Gloria (Sofia Vergara) and Jay Pritchett's (Ed O'Neill) long-anticipated baby was born.
But in reality, their new son arrived on a late October day on a soundstage here, as the Emmy-winning ABC sitcom was shooting that episode. In one of the scenes being filmed, Gloria's water had broken during a surprise birthday party for her son, Manny (Rico Rodriguez), with the whole extended family gathered.
Even though it's a fictional story, the baby's arrival generated a real warmth on the set. "It is a little emotional. It took me by surprise," said O'Neill during a break in shooting.
The feeling really sunk in during the first scene with Gloria, Jay and the baby, said executive producer Christopher Lloyd, who wrote the episode, "Party Crasher," with Danny Zuker.
"It's just a brief moment between Jay and Gloria, where they're holding this child for the first time. It kind of took everyone's breath away," he said. "Obviously, we weren't literally surprised. We knew it was coming. We wrote this script. But, suddenly, there it is. And it's an actual baby. And then the rest of the family comes. It once again reinforced how much these people love each other."
Vergara credits the writers for maintaining balance. "They're able to make everything funny, even an experience like giving birth. They always show a little bit of heartfelt emotion, but also with comedy."
The birth is a significant event for the fourth-season show. "You have to make small changes" as a show progresses, Lloyd said. "You have to explore new aspects of the characters, hopefully put them into new situations that will be funny and interesting, but not change things too completely."
Going forward, the baby opens up story possibilities for the Pritchetts and the ever-extending family.
"What is it going to be like for Manny to be a brother for the first time? What's it going to be like for Jay to be going through this for the first time in 35 years? What is it going to be like to see this couple going through a very fundamental couple thing, raising a child together?" Lloyd said. "Our show is called Modern Family, and it seems sort of a natural to expand the family at some point."
One episode, with a christening, will bring in Gloria's colorful relatives from Colombia, Lloyd says. In another, Cam (Eric Stonestreet), famous for taking pictures of daughter Lilly (Aubrey Anderson-Emmons) in assorted outfits, starts photographing the baby, leading to complications when a wig becomes glued to the baby's head.
Besides new stories to explore, the birth offers a personal benefit to Vergara: no more prosthetic baby bump. "It's been uncomfortable to carry that big belly," she said.
And the baby's name? That's a story for another episode.

UPDATED: 8:16 p.m.
BEREA, Ohio -- Former NFL Vice President of Officiating Mike Pereira, now the rules analyst for Fox Sports, called T.J. Ward's hit on Bengals receiver Jordan Shipley a cheap shot and said he thinks the NFL should fine Ward at least $25,000.
"Nobody in the league likes to say that somebody took a cheap shot at somebody. But I'm not in the league," said Pereira, who joined Fox this season after 10 years as the league's director and then V.P. of officiating. "And I think it was a cheap shot and I think he deserves to be hit and he needs to be hit hard."
Pereira said the play was severe enough to warrant something far more substantial than the standard $5,000 or $7,500 for a late hit.
"I'd look at the severity of the hit and even the fact that it led to the concussion and this is just my opinion -- but I'd start at the $25,000 mark. To me, I'd make it stiff. He needs to learn his lesson. If people say you're making an example of T.J. Ward, I'd say 'so be it.' There's no place in the game for that stuff."
Pereira agreed with Bengals quarterback Carson Palmer and receiver Terrell Owens, who called the hit a cheap shot after the game Sunday and lit into Ward on the field.
"I think it's one of the worst I've seen in a while," said Pereira. "I think it's the exact hit that the NFL is trying to get out of the game. There's no intent to tackle. There's just a lead with the shoulder to the head and helmet-to-helmet hit and it's after the ball is on the ground."
Other excerpts from the Pereira interview:
• "You can see why Carson Palmer went in there and the Cincinnati players were upset. In my mind, it's worse than just the normal shoulder or helmet-to-the-head hit. Sometimes helmet-to-helmet contact or shoulder to head contact could be considered incidental, but this was a shot. He knew exactly what he was doing."
• "I think it's a hit that every other player in this league needs to look at and realize that's not acceptable."
• "It's an expensive lesson for him to learn. I understand he's a rookie but it's no excuse. I just wish I could muster up some sympathy for him, but I can't."
• "I would virtually assure you that the letter would say something to the effect that if it does happen again, he'd be subject to suspension. I won't be surprised if the number is pretty substantial."
• "Cleveland fans may not like it that your own player is going to be disciplined for an act like this, but it's the facts. The Bengals were called for a hit on a defenseless receiver [Ben Watson] also, but it wasn't as nearly as brutal as this. It was a player who left his feet and launched and it's suspect if there was even any contact with the head. This was such a clear lead to the head that it can't be tolerated."
Browns coach Eric Mangini said Monday that Ward is "not a dirty guy" and that he doesn't want to curtail his aggressiveness. However, he did stress he wants him to play within the rules.

By CHARLES V. BAGLI
A proposal from the Regional Plan Association calls for commercial and residential development along a corridor through the West Side.
For more than two years, Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg has insisted that only a football stadium for the Jets could cover the vast railyards on Manhattan's West Side that have long been a barrier to the neighborhood's development.
But yesterday the Regional Plan Association, an influential private group, issued a report stating that a residential and commercial development erected on top of platforms over the railyards would generate far more revenue for the city and the state than a stadium, and would promote development on nearby land.
Robert D. Yaro, president of the association, said the group's alternative plan would also provide a physical and visual link between the city and the Hudson River, in contrast to the mayor's plan for a football stadium and an expanded Javits Convention Center that would create a 12-block wall along the riverfront.
"From Day 1, the city and the Jets have said that the choice on the West Side is between a stadium and a hole in the ground," said Mr. Yaro, whose organization, financed by civic groups and corporations, opposes building a stadium over the railyards.
He said: "We've outlined what we think are very feasible alternatives, involving residential development on the western yard and a mix of residential and commercial on the eastern yard. You can create something more attractive and something that will serve as a catalyst for the redevelopment of the West Side in a way that the stadium will not."
The group's alternative comes only weeks before the state is expected to approve the proposed $1.4 billion stadium project for the Jets. The stadium is a key element of the Bloomberg administration's ambitious plan to redevelop the West Side, transforming a 59-block area of parking lots, brick warehouses and factories into a major business district, and it is also the centerpiece of the city's bid for the 2012 Olympics.
But the stadium, which would be built on a platform over the railyard between 11th and 12th Avenues, from 30th to 34th Street, has met with strong opposition from local residents, some Broadway theater owners and elected officials from the West Side. These opponents have said they were worried about traffic congestion and feared that the stadium would discourage development. It has yet to be embraced by any major civic group, and both sides anticipate lawsuits.
Though the Regional Plan Association's alternative proposal has little likelihood of being carried out, it drew quick reactions in the superheated debate over the future of the West Side.
Stadium opponents like the Hell's Kitchen/Hudson Yards Alliance, State Senator Thomas K. Duane and Assemblyman Richard N. Gottfried embraced it. The Hudson Yards Coalition, a pro-stadium group, sharply attacked the plan, saying the stadium "will more than pay for itself - it will generate a profit for New York, and jobs for New Yorkers."
Jennifer Falk, a City Hall spokeswoman, said the city would lose millions of dollars in convention and trade show business without a stadium, and would lose any hope of attracting the Olympics.
The city and the state plan to invest $600 million for a platform over the railyards and a retractable roof for the stadium, while the Jets plan to put up $800 million to cover the rest of the project.
The regional plan group says the city should instead simply build the platforms and then sell development sites to builders. Commercial and residential development would generate net revenues and taxes of $510 million a year, compared with only $74 million from the stadium, the association's report said.
Separately, the Steven L. Newman Real Estate Institute at Baruch College has also issued an alternative that addresses the city's waterfront, but shies away from taking a position on the stadium.
That proposal calls for building one of the largest convention centers in the world over the railyards, stretching east from 12th Avenue to Ninth Avenue, between 30th and 34th Streets. The institute contends that a stadium and an arena could be built atop the convention center.
Like the planning group's proposal, the institute recommends the creation of a commercial corridor extending west along 34th Street from Ninth Avenue to the Hudson River. The existing Jacob K. Javits Convention Center could then be demolished to make way for apartment towers.
In creating an east-west orientation, the Baruch proposal opens the waterfront to the city.
The Regional Plan Association's proposal calls for building thousands of apartments on a platform west of 11th Avenue and a mix of residential and office towers on a platform east of 11th Avenue.

Looks like those life-less office buildings off the Jersey City shore. I don't like this one either.
I do like the extension into the water concept, though.
Where's the Circle Line fit into this plan?I also don't see the auto impound yard there,just south of the new ferry terminal.Can't do without these landmark institutions.
Now I see the impound pier.But it looks sanitized,no character.
Why don't they simply rezone the entire area from 59st-34st, Hudson river to 7th Ave a Extremely High-Density commerical office building zone? I bet you could squeeze out 200-300 million sq feet of office space out of that plan. That's 1 million new jobs. Why not? The Javits can expand and the Stadium could go on some sort of pier, along with a new Cruise ship terminal, Museums, Entertainment, and even Housing (Think Baltimore inner harbor). The area south of 34st to 23st could be a sort of Housing zone with all the displaced residents getting first priority over the new housing. Then sell the rest at market rate. Perfect.
Three words: Clinton Special District. 43rd to 56th, 8th to 10th avenue are complete off-limits, a historic district. It kinda crushes the momentum for office space west of Times Square, so a residential high-rise district is growing on 8th instead.
Of course, no trains stop west of 8th. Amtrak's Empire Line is well positioned in the area, though (it cuts from underneath Trump Place diagonally to Penn Station)...I wish they could use it for subways.
Did you guys read the rest of this thread?

Hudson Yards housing plan slammed
A report by the Pratt Institute slams the Bloomberg administration's plans for ensuring that affordable housing is built as the area surrounding the rail yards on the far West Side is redeveloped.
The institute claims that the administration's projections that developers will build some 2,600 units of affordable housing are unrealistic, and that it is likely that only about 600 units will be built.
The administration estimates that about two-thirds of developers will choose to participate in the so-called 80/20 program. Under that program, developers who build rental units will receive financial incentives if they set aside 20% of the units for low-income families.
The institute, however, argues that despite that incentive and other breaks, few developers will choose to build rentals at all, since the condominium market is far more lucrative. The report argues that past rates of participation aren't relevant because more developers nowadays build condos, and that the incentive programs need to be drastically revised.

A New Player on the West Side
The City Council held hearings last week on plans to redevelop Manhattan's far West Side, and now, after months of being frozen out of the deal by the Bloomberg administration, it is preparing to vote yea or nay. Not on everything - the proposed stadium for the Jets is not in the mix because it would sit on state-owned land. The Council's 51 members will vote on how a 59-block area is to be rezoned, and that should give them enough leverage to ask the city to rethink important questions about financing, density and housing mix.
Technically, the Council's power extends only to zoning. But without the necessary commercial and residential building permits, as well as permits required for the proposed extension of the No. 7 subway line, the overall plan, except for the stadium, could not go forward.
We oppose the stadium while supporting a larger vision of a vital, mixed-use West Side. Yet aspects of the city's plan need improvement. One is financing. The Council speaker, Gifford Miller, though an advocate of West Side redevelopment, has rightly criticized Mayor Michael Bloomberg's proposal to finance part of the redevelopment through the city's Transitional Finance Authority. This would allow the city to bypass the Council, as well as the capital approval process and the robust public debate that usually accompany expenditures of this size - $4 billion.
The Council should also insist that the mayor reduce the plan's density. The plan calls for 26 million square feet of commercial space and some 13,600 apartments. High density is needed if the city is to collect the property tax revenues to finance its plan. But that means buildings along 11th Avenue could rise to 60 stories, walling off the Hudson River waterfront. We don't expect riverfront cabanas, but there should be a way to avoid the overwhelming skyscrapers of the sort that make Sixth Avenue a concrete canyon. The Council might consider a measured phasing in of the development, something recommended by the Regional Plan Association.
More affordable housing should also be encouraged. The target area, from West 30th Street to West 42nd Street and as far east as Seventh Avenue, is the last chunk of largely undeveloped real estate in Manhattan and so is a field of dreams for many. The administration's game plan is to use the proposed $1.4 billion stadium to draw new development. It's entirely possible, though, that housing alone could bring new life to the area and alleviate a citywide housing shortage as well. At 3 percent, the city's vacancy rate is well below other large cities. Affordable housing is especially scarce.
It's a given that luxury housing will be part of a reborn West Side. The challenge is to maximize units for middle- and lower-income people. Shaun Donovan, the commissioner of Housing Preservation and Development, says the Bloomberg plan would produce as many as 3,100 affordable units. That would be an improvement over an earlier city proposal, but more can be done.
Meanwhile, the city could boost the number of affordable units by building on publicly owned land, and the Council could channel tax breaks and improve bonuses to developers who build more than just market-rate housing. The new West Side should be within the reach of all New Yorkers.

I like the 60 story high rises! So what if its a 6th avenue like canyon, thats part of what makes NY NY!
Ok, so what if north of 42st is off limits?Originally Posted by debris
Why not have the current area be entirely office. You still could squeeze the same amount of office space there too.
What NYC needs is jobs, and lots of them. This plan will also increase the need for height, which is what you want, correct? The whole "housing" thing can wait, we already have over 8 million people.

West Side Plan Is Risky Effort, Forecasters Say
By CHARLES V. BAGLI
The Bloomberg administration's $4.1 billion financial plan for transforming the West Side of Manhattan has run into increasing criticism from independent financial analysts as an expensive and risky strategy, which may be impossible to pursue under current statutes.
Critics are not opposed to the extension of the No. 7 subway line from Times Square to 34th Street and 11th Avenue, or the new streets, parks and other projects within the plan. But they say that the administration's method of paying for these projects, along with the city's $300 million share in a new football stadium for the Jets, will add an unnecessary $1.3 billion to the price tag and pose risks for the city budget.
To provide financing for the project, the administration plans to create the Hudson Yards Infrastructure Corporation, which would issue long-term bonds and short-term debt to pay for the parks, the streets, the subway and a deck over a railyard east of 11th Avenue, between 30th and 33rd Streets, where new development could take place. Using the corporation means the city's financial plan would not have to go through the normal budget process and avoids a potentially nettlesome vote by the City Council.
"The city's proposed Hudson Yards financing scheme is fraught with several serious problems and, in my opinion, should be scrapped," James A. Parrott, chief economist for the Fiscal Policy Institute, a labor-backed research group, told council members at a hearing last week. "Instead, a plan of infrastructure improvements for the far West Side should be incorporated into the city's capital budget."
Ronnie Lowenstein, director of the city's Independent Budget Office, told council members that the city's proposed plan would cost $1.3 billion more than if the city used conventional borrowing.
City officials do not deny the additional cost, but say that the projects, along with a rezoning of the West Side and the proposed 75,000-seat stadium, would catalyze residential and commercial development in the 59-block area, generating more than $60 billion in new tax revenues over the next 30 years. At the same hearing, Deputy Mayor Daniel L. Doctoroff said that in an era of limited resources, the "only alternative is to do nothing." He added, "It's an investment we can't afford not to make."
The hearing before the City Council's finance committee did not have the raucous, carnival-like atmosphere of another forum the same week concerning the proposed $1.4 billion stadium over the West Side rail yards, where the chants of protesters collided with the boisterous roar of construction workers demanding jobs.
The finance hearing was conducted under the dim lighting of the Council chamber. There were no raised voices and the room began to empty after only 30 minutes. But with the Council expected to vote on rezoning the neighborhood next month, critics painted a dark picture in contrast to the administration's sunny view.
Mr. Doctoroff said the advantage of the plan is that it would pay for itself. The corporation, he said - not the city - would be responsible for paying off the bondholders, using tax revenues from new development on the West Side.
"We developed a creative financing plan that pays for itself with new revenues it will generate - not with capital budget money," Mr. Doctoroff testified. "That means the Hudson Yards plan won't compete for resources with other important capital projects."
In the early years, Mr. Doctoroff and Mark Page, the city's budget director, said that new residential and commercial development would not generate enough revenue to pay the interest on the bonds. So under the city's plan, the corporation would issue about $1 billion in short-term debt backed by the city's Transitional Finance Authority and income tax revenues.
But critics say the city would be on the hook for the short-term debt if West Side development does not occur quickly enough and investors fail to buy the corporation's short-term notes. They say the corporation would then be using income tax revenues that flow into the city budget.
"You're putting city income tax revenues in jeopardy," said Richard Ravitch, the former chairman of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority and once the state's top economic development official. "But the law is clear that T.F.A. can't be used for projects that don't go through the budgetary process."
Earlier in the hearing, Mr. Page insisted that the city was using the finance authority properly, although he acknowledged that the administration had not gotten a legal opinion to that effect.
Mr. Ravitch added that the city's financial plan was vulnerable to a legal challenge. And both sides expect opponents of the stadium to file at least two lawsuits in the coming weeks, one challenging the adequacy of the environmental view for the stadium and one challenging the city's financial plan.
In an October letter to Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg, William C. Thompson Jr., the city comptroller, also warned that his plan represented a substantial commitment of funds "without the oversight protections inherent in the city's capital budgeting process."
Mr. Doctoroff did not dispute the extra cost, but he played down the risk that the finance authority would have to step in, saying, "We don't expect it will ever get called on."
As for the long-term bonds issued by the development corporation, the deputy mayor said that bondholders, not the city, would be at risk if the tax revenues from new development failed to materialize and the corporation defaulted on its obligations.
But some experts have questioned the city's estimate that 26 million square feet of office space and nearly 14,000 apartments would be built on the West Side over the next 30 years. While the city's demand for housing appears insatiable, economists like Rae Rosen at the Federal Reserve Bank, and James Diffley, a managing director of Global Insight, one of the nation's largest economic forecasting companies, say that the Bloomberg administration is being overly optimistic when it comes to office buildings.
"What's implausible is that one new, unproven district would capture all that demand," said another economic forecaster, Hugh Kelly of Real Estate Economics.
Critics say that raises the possibility of a default by the development corporation. Although the corporation would be a legally separate entity from the city, State Comptroller Alan G. Hevesi warned in a July report that the bonds "may be perceived by the financial community as a moral obligation of the City of New York and could adversely affect the city's credit rating."
Mr. Hevesi noted that the extension of the No. 7 subway line accounted for half the debt. He said major transportation projects have a history of large cost overruns and delays.
"I know the bonds can't be sold just on the credit of the Hudson Yards Infrastructure Corporation," Mr. Ravitch said at the hearing. "Mr. Doctoroff may be sincere in saying that the city is not on the hook. But to suggest that a default wouldn't affect the credit of the city is silly."

Associated Press: Republicans want to cut education secretary's power, give governors more say in schools
Posted on June 6, 2013
By Philip Elliott
WASHINGTON — Education Secretary Arne Duncan and his successors would be relegated to cheerleaders for the nation's schools, and governors would be put in charge of classrooms under companion bills Senate and House Republicans introduced Thursday.
The top Republicans on Congress' education committees unveiled rewrites to the nation's sweeping law known as No Child Left Behind, which governs elementary and secondary schools that receive tax dollars. While there were differences in the details, the Republicans' overall approach would give governors final responsibility for holding schools accountable and largely limit the Education Department to promoting the importance of learning.
"We would stop Washington, D.C., from deciding whether schools and teachers are failing and restore those decisions back to state and local governments," the top Republican on the Senate Education Committee, Sen. Lamar Alexander of Tennessee, told The Associated Press in an interview.
The chairman of the House Education Committee said Washington was a poor arbiter of what works — and what does not — in schools.
"We're not leaving the secretary in the position of judging that system," said Rep. John Kline, R-Minn.
The state-by-state approach to education standards is already largely in place in the 37 states that received permission from Duncan to ignore the No Child Left Behind requirements in exchange for customized school improvement plans. The other states face the threat of being deemed failing schools if they cannot demonstrate their students perform at grade level in reading and math — a designation that could cost them federal education dollars.
Under Republicans' plans, states would determine if their schools are succeeding, and they could ignore previous federal requirements to show they are getting better every year.
Critics have said such approach lacks accountability and retreats back to the systems in place before President George W. Bush and Democratic Sen. Edward M. Kennedy passed No Child Left Behind with bipartisan support in 2001.
"You're assuming a state doesn't care," Kline said to those critics.
"They should all be striving for excellence," he added during a conference call with reporters.
The Elementary and Secondary Education Act, now more commonly known as No Child Left Behind, governs all schools that receive federal dollars for the poor, minorities, disabled and students whose primary language is not English. In exchange for those federal dollars, schools must meet standards, previously set by Washington but increasingly dictated by state capitols even before the competing No Child Left Behind renewals are debated.
Senate Democrats' plan, introduced Tuesday, would also require states to develop new efforts but requires the education secretary to approve them.
That final step for approval is unacceptable to Republicans including Alexander, himself an education secretary under President George H.W. Bush.
"The parents and teachers and governor should have the ball and the U.S. secretary of education and Department of Education should create an environment in which the parents, the teachers and the governors can succeed, rather than have a national school board that has to approve standards and tests and the quality of teachers in 100,000 different public schools," said Alexander.
A Senate committee is scheduled to take up the Democratic bill next week. A vote by the full Democratic-controlled Senate has not been scheduled and Democratic aides suggested it could be autumn before one occurs.
House Republicans were set to start work on their legislation on June 19. Aides said they were planning on a full vote by the House before lawmakers leave for August recess.

My wife and I recently returned from a 12 day Barcelona to Venice cruise on the Ruby Princess from 10th August to 22nd August. This was our first cruise and we absolutely loved it (more of that later!).
As this was our first cruise we used this website a great deal to find things out about the ship, ports and a whole lot more. As someone that doesn't usually write posts on forums, I felt compelled to write a post about our cruise because reading other people's posts helped us so much. Hopefully I can add some additional valuable information that might assist others!
Before I start, I should mention that the Ruby Princess is a wonderful ship, as a couple in their mid thirties who have travelled a great deal and experienced many different holidays, this cruise was up there on our best holidays list. Cruising wasn't something that we had thought about really, and it was only when we saw a good deal we thought, hey why not. And boy are we glad we did! It was a great experience and I think the first of what, will most likely be, many cruises.
The cruise overall was brilliant and I wouldn't hesitate in recommending a cruise with Princess. We utilized private tours in 1 port which was good. We utilized two Princess ship tours -- 1 was ok the other not so much.
This cruise visited Barcelona, Monaco, Florence/Pisa, Rome, Naples, Mykonos, Istanbul, Ephesus, Athens, and Venice.
The Ship.
Ok, so, as per the photos, it's a big ship. Lots to do, lots to explore. To get the most out of it you need to be organised and work out just what sort of a cruise you want. Whilst this cruise is very port intensive, we found you can still have a relaxing time in-between visiting some amazing places.
We found the ship very clean, with everything open & working well. We didn't find it crowded, even when at sea when the 3,000 passengers and 1,100 crew were all onboard (and I think the ship was full with no spare cabins). We always had seats at both Movies Under the Stars and in the Princess Theatre.
We saw all three production numbers and enjoyed them all. We also saw the illusionist who was great (and my wife usually hates magicians), we saw the crew show which I thought was soooo funny. We also saw a couple of comedians who were good. When we visit hotels if I am honest we don't usually sit through the entertainment laid on as they are not usually that good. However, we were both really impressed with the entertainment onboard Ruby Princess.
We also saw 3 or 4 films at Movies Under the Stars which was great. We usually got there 10 mins before the film started and always found a lounger. We were also always offered Pizza, popcorn and milk and cookies during the films which we found was a nice touch.
We embarked at 3pm in Barcelona and witnessed no queues, walking straight on once we had our cards. After a little look around the ship and a bit of food we returned to our cabin to find our cases outside our room.
Disembarkation was a little more complex due to our flights being late in the evening (9.40pm). We had to check out the room by 8am and our bags had already been picked up the night before. However, we were allowed to stay on board all day, leaving the ship at 6pm to take our transfers. Everyone was great, we had food and drink onboard all day (and a nice 3 course lunch in the di Vinci restaurant). It did feel slightly strange as more and more new passengers came aboard but it was funny as many of the staff recognised us and asked when our flights were. Top tips if you are getting off late. The tables in Piazza on deck 5 all have power sockets by the side of them if you need to charge devices.
We were at the back of the boat in room B739. I expected the room to be relatively small but actually it was more spacious than I thought it would be. Plenty of places to store clothes and belongings. The only major problem we had was sockets. I had read somewhere (incorrectly as it turns out) that the room had UK, EU and US sockets. It doesn't, its US only and whilst I thought I a US adapter, I actually had everything but. By the time I realised the shop had none left, neither did our room steward or customer services. In the end we got one in a port a few days later. A great tip though is to take a cheap extension lead. We plugged it in and then had 4 sockets to charge multiple items at once which was very handy. There is also a spare socket behind the TV that many people miss.
The room had a safe (with no additional fee) and the bed was really good. At home we have a huge expensive and very comfortable bed so I often joking complain on holiday about the bed but no complaints on the Cruise, the bed was ace.
The room has a lot of hangers but if you need more, just ask your steward and a large hanging rail for clothes.
Not a great deal to report, drink prices were as expected, $5 for a beer, $8 for cocktails and always 15% added on service charge. We got the soda package and were glad we did, it seemed quite good value ($45 for the cruise / $4 a day) and included coke, diet coke, sprite, tonic water etc. You get an insulated drink holder included and we filled up and took these out on excursions (although be careful as they are not completely water tight). Water is free and available at the drink stations located at the horizon cafe and cafe caribe. We took a couple of 0.5l water bottles with us and filled up with ice and water when we needed to, all free and useful on trips where the weather gets hot. The drink stations also have tea, ice tea and coffee facilities and it's all free and help yourself (inc milk, sugar etc). I love a cup of tea before bed and so always stopped here before retiring to bed and the tea was ok, English breakfast, earl grey and Darjeeling (the supposed champagne of teas -- really?!) I had taken a few of my own as well. One tip if you feel like splashing out $1.50 is the pot of tea you can get at the international cafe, it was premium and you could get a good 3 cups out of it and it was very good tea. During mealtimes lemonade is also offered for free and was good.
I'd heard that bringing alcohol was limited to one bottle of wine but a few people id spoken to had managed to get other stuff onboard. I only saw one person get booze confiscated and this is returned at the end of the cruise. Wine wasn't too badly priced as well, when ordered with the meal the dining staff keep the rest of the bottle if you don't finish it and bring it out the next meal for you.
We opted for anytime dinning and after trying both the Michelangelo and di-vinci, found the service in the service in the Michelangelo to be the best. We only had to wait twice to be seated on our own and both times it was formal nights when we were at sea for the day. On these days people seemed to go early for dinner and we had a 30 minute wait only. You can also book times in the anytime restaurant by calling them up on the day and we did this a few times. The staff were incredible, so attentive and the service was amazing. The food was also of an exceptionally high standard, so very tasty. One tip (for free drinks) is order anything on the menu that has alcohol in it. There was a peach Daiquiri soup on the menu one day and it was simply a free cocktail.
The Di-Vinci restaurant was good for breakfast as the Horizon breakfast buffets on deck 15 can get very busy and you feel very rushed there. When we did eat the breakfast buffets I found it very stressful, where as nobody uses the Di-Vinci restaurant for breakfast, the food seemed warmer and cooked to order and the atmosphere was much better and not so rushed. The same goes for lunch, Di-Vinci is open for lunch and not many people seemed to know this. We had a couple of amazing lunches. Don't get me wrong, the food in the Horizon cafe is lovely, but it's just more hustle and bustle.
The burgers were also very good by the pool and the pizza was too. Ice cream is also fee and I highly recommend the international cafe, serving up lovely desserts 24 hours a day as well as great salads and toasted sandwiches, all included at no additional cost.
I would also recommend going to the cooking show in the princess theatre which includes a tour of the kitchens after, that was a great hour and very funny. How they managed to create 250,000 meals per cruise and retain such high quality food is simply staggering to me.
With regards to the other supplement restaurants (crown grill, Sabertini's etc) we didn't use them because the food was so good in the main restaurants. We meant to, but just didn't get around to it and were not bothered that we didn't.
Room service
Great service, all included, no extra charge, and very useful for tea and coffee in the mornings! You could also order fruit in the room which was nice.
This is a tricky one as everyone has different ideas. We had visited quite a few of the ports already and had invested £10 in Rick Steve's Mediterranean cruise ports book which was absolutely invaluable. I think a new version is out in September. It gave great information on all places included where the boats dock, what the options were regarding transport and great coverage on what to see and what to miss. For each port, my tips would be as follows, noting we always docked in harbour and had no tenders:-
Monaco -- Boat docked on the Marina and all places can be reached in short walking distance. We had been to Monaco before so knew where we were going and didn't book any trips. In all we covered 7 miles walking but it was a great day and relatively cheap. Seeing the changing of the guard at 11.55 was great.
Florence -- for this one we booked a Princess excursion to Florence which was part tour, part own time and this worked well for us. We had the book and saw what we wanted in the time. It's a bit of a drive to Florence so it was good to have that part taken care of. Some people we spoke to had done Pisa only or Pisa & Florence and generally they wished they had done the same as us. Most people said there wasn't a great deal in Pisa and doing both meant much more time on the coach and not as much time in Florence.
Naples (Pompeii, Sorrento, Amalfi Coast) -- For this one we took a tour with an external company, cruising excursions. This was considerably less than the equivalent Princess tour and just as easy. We had a great day although I did feel a little green at the end of it driving up and down and round all the mountain bends. I've read a few other similar comments about tours driving around the Amalfi coast, especially around Positano. Don't get me wrong, the views are incredible, it's just that the local drivers seem to drive so very fast and it's not something I think I would do again (unless I was driving at a far slower speed!)
A lot of people on our tour said the same- amazing views but scary journey. Pompeii was so interesting and out guide took us in the back entrance which wasn't as busy as the main entrance. Think we paid £45 each for the day cruise and although we were back an hour later than planned (roads were busy as it was a national day holiday in Italy) we were still back 2 hours before the boat left.
As Rome -- We stayed onboard this day as we had spent a week in Rome a few years ago. We were pleased we did as the itinerary until this point had been quite full on.
Mykonos - We got the Princess coach transfer from port to beach which seemed to take 5 minutes and cost 7 euros each I think. A little pricy for what it was and you could have walked it in 20 mins but I'd still take the coach again for ease. A great little place and we didn't feel the need to take a tour, we just explored the lovely back alleys and coastline.
Istanbul -- For this one we again didn't take a tour, just the Princess bus to the Grand Bazaar. We did think about it but didn't get around to booking it. I was worried we wouldn't get to see all the things we wanted to but actually, it turned out great, we saw them all, toured around using the Rick Steves book and saved a lot of money over the princess tour which was $199 each for the same. It cost us 60 euros. The Grand Bazaar was both gigantic and interesting to walk through -- supposed to be over 2,000 shops (many of which sell the same items). You are required to remove shoes and have proper clothing to enter Blue Mosque. Women are given shawls to cover shoulders and head. And my advice, have a little decency and respect this by keeping them on whilst in the Mosque. Seeing people remove these was completely disrespectful in my eyes.
Kusadasi -- For this one we booked a Princess excursion -- Ephasus and Terraced houses which was absolutely great. We loved it, a great trip. The only downside was that it was supposed to be 5 hours yet we were back in Kusadasi in just over 3 hours before our guide then wanted to take us on a carpet tour. We were not interested and declined and returned to ship before then doing some shopping. I felt a little short changed with this one given it was supposed to be 5 hours and complained onboard and got some of the money back. We bought a few items, a lamp and a pair of shoes. Haggling is good but you have to walk into the shops knowing what you would be prepared to pay for something. I saw some nice shoes and the owner started at 120 euros. I started at 20 knowing I would be prepared to pay 35 euros. It took a while but we got there in the end. Like I said to my wife, they are probably only worth 15 but hey, it's all about what you think something it worth and what you are willing to pay. For the light my wife bought, they started off at 30 euros and without her even saying anything it came down to 12 euros after about 5 minutes.
Athens -- We decided to get the hop on hop off (HOHO) bus from the port that was 20 Euros each. There are two routes, the blue route from the port around a few harbours and into central Athens and then a Red route around Athens. The 2 routes cross at the Acropolis. I had been to Athens before but my wife hadn't. Visiting the ruins was amazing, the views from the top are breathtaking and we had a few audio guides (podcasts by Rick Steves) to help us understand it all. It was hot but very worthwhile. The tour of Athens itself (on the red bus line) was, to be frank, rubbish. I found Athens to be the same as it was the last time I visited 10 years ago, dirty and smelly with not much to see. Ok, it was a Sunday so perhaps a lot was closed. But we couldn't wait to get back onboard. Central Athens is very run down, graffiti is everywhere and apart from the main historic ruins, there is very little else to see. The audio guide on the bus only proved this when it started to point out the heart hospital, I mean really, is an old hospital specialising in heart conditions and point of note on a tour? Bonkers. If we did this cruise again, I wouldn't get off here.
Venice -- sailing in was incredible and we decided to go up to deck 15 as music and commentary was playing. Get their early as it was very busy by the time we got close to the grand canal, 4 people deep in some places.
Again we had been here before for a week so didn't feel the need to take a tour. Princess gave us tickets for a boat trip from the port to St Mark's square for $17 each which seemed to me like a con. It's also automatically added to your account unless you return them. We did return them and instead we took the people mover from the port to the station (1 euro each) and then walked to St Marks Square, taking in all the sights on the way, including the Rialto Bridge. We spent a lot of time on the way down, stopping in shops, down alleyways and taking lots of pics, getting lost etc so it took us a few hours. But the way back, directly from St Marks to the ship was 50 minutes and 2 miles. We did consider using the local boats which cost 20 euros I think for 24 hours use but walking and exploring was what we wanted to do. Couple of tips. On the main street, just off Rialto Bridge is a McDonalds which has free wifi. Along from there is a supermarket which was drinks and food much cheaper than anywhere else (we'd heard rumours of 20 euros for a coffee in St Marks which wouldn't surprise me and 10 euros for a drink of coke).
Other points to note.
Laundry -- there is a room with all facilities to do it yourself but it didn't seem that expensive to me, $2.20 for t-shirts I think so that was good. In before 9am and returned next day with same day service costing 50% more.
Phone / Internet access -- I am with the UK provider 3 who currently have an unlimited internet use deal within the EU for £5 a day. I used this a few times so didn't need the ships internet which is apparently expensive and incredibly slow. Regarding phone service, I found that we got a good signal probably 95% of the time with mostly 3G and occasionally GPRS service when 3G wasn't available.
TV -- We didn't really watch any TV other than to see the daily Wake Show which we found really useful. It's filmed onboard at 6am daily by the entertainment team and gives you a heads up on the places we are visiting that day and what's happening onboard the ship. 10/10 for this, I thought it was excellent.
Views - The outside Deck 7 was quiet and very pleasant to watch arrivals/departures and you can walk the entire ship at this level. 2.5 times round = 1 mile so we saw a few people using this to exercise.
For sail-aways we always went to the platform above the bridge. Not many people either knew about this or could find it. There is a secret door that leads out that isn't marked. To find it just go to the Lido deck and go all the way forward. You will see a door on either side. Go through those doors to another door that leads to a few steps leading to this deck. However, these doors are locked while at sea I believe.
There are some great views from the stern on different deck levels. Up on deck 18 was a club with a spectacular view looking aft. The primary (Lido) deck has the obligatory pools; hot tubs; bars; MUTS; and entrance into the buffets.
So in summary, we had a fantastic time and I think I can saw we are now cruise converts. I would most definitely recommend this cruise and princess and were now thinking about looking into another cruise for next year so any suggestions would be much appreciated!

Exercise for seniors just might be the key to the fountain of youth. Research reports that regular physical exercise improves both physical and cognitive functions. However, only 28 - 34% of adults ages 65 - 74 are physically active. While many maturing adults may stop or decrease exercise due to increasing physical restraints, exercise becomes even more important to improve strength, balance, and functionality. According to the American Academy of Family Physicians, almost all older people can benefit from some form of physical activity. Listed below are a few benefits that seniors gain from regular exercise.
Exercise for seniors helps reduce the risk of falls, the leading cause of injury-related deaths for adults over the age of 65, as reported by the Centers for Disease Control. According to the National Council on Aging, one out of every four Americans aged 65 and older falls every year. Failure to engage in even mild exercise on a regular basis results in reduced muscle strength, decreased bone mass, and loss of balance and coordination - all factors contributing to falls and bone breaks that reduce mobility and independence. Tufts University research reports that strength training can dramatically reduce bone mass loss, restore bones, and contribute to better balance and fewer fractures.
The National Council on Aging reports that 91% of adults aged 65 or older have at least 1 chronic condition. Lack of exercise contributes to chronic disease as it can lead to significant weight gain and increases in belly fat that increase the risk of type 2 diabetes and heart disease. By lowering blood pressure and blood sugar levels while at the same time boosting good HDL cholesterol and blood circulation, regular exercise can avoid or reduce the chance of seniors having chronic diseases.
Aging adults battle with the ability to think clearly and remember. In some cases, the elderly develop Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia that dramatically restrict cognitive abilities. Research indicates that exercise improves cognition abilities by stimulating the brain's ability to maintain an old network connection while making new ones. Studies suggest that exercise helps stimulate chemicals in the brain that affect the growth of brain cells, particularly in the hippocampus, that is responsible for memory. The hippocampus is prone to decline as we age, leading to dementia. Aerobic exercise, such as brisk walking, is considered beneficial to cognitive health.
As we age, our immune systems slow, increasing the risk of illness. Exercise helps adults of any age maintain a healthy, stronger body that can defend itself against colds more easily. Those who exercise typically sleep better, also boosting the immune system. In addition, recovery from an illness takes less a toll on a healthier body. Just walking 30 minutes daily helps the immune system fight infection.
Exercise helps improve mood while reducing anxiety and depression. As exercise is often a communal activity, seniors have an opportunity to socialize and interact with people. Exercise also provides a sense of accomplishment that improves a person's self-esteem.
Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans issued by the Department of Health and Human Services recommends that older adults engage in a combination of physical activities that focus on balance training, aerobic, and muscle-strengthening. If starting or renewing exercise after a long break, aging adults should consult with physicians who can recommend their level of physical activity.
While aging seniors typically cannot engage in the 150 minutes of recommended moderate-intensity aerobic exercise for most adults, they should remain physically activity within their limitations. Seniors must move more and sit less during the day to gain some health benefits.
Inactive seniors should start slow with short 5- to 10-minute intervals of moderate activity and gradually building exercise time and intensity. To gain the best benefits, seniors should engage in a planned, structured, and repetitive form of physical activity. The goal is to get the body moving as movement increases circulation and oxygen to the brain and other parts of the body.
By finding fun, enjoyable activities and mixing them up, older adults are more inclined to participate on an ongoing basis.
Seniors with limited physical abilities due to injuries or medical conditions may find exercise more challenging; however, physical activity is even more important to decrease the risk of illness, falls and weight gain. Exercise classes supervised by trained professionals are ideal for those with specific limitations as trainers can offer modifications to exercises. Visiting Angels outlines Simple Exercises for the Elderly When Lying Down.
Local YMCAs and senior centers are ideal locations for exercise programs for aging adults, especially those with special needs. Before beginning any new exercise routine, discuss a regime with a physician who can make proper recommendations.
Physical activity is important for adults of any age. For seniors, exercise can help them continue to live independently and maintain a higher quality of life. Enlist family and friends that can make exercise an enjoyable social activity for your aging parent. Just going for a short walk can make a difference for everyone.

(WPC: Quest )
Let me crawl into you like a tunnel to an abandoned city.
I'll walk down the deserted road to your heart,
with caution and measured steps.
I'll explore the wilderness under your chest.
My footsteps echo in the empty auditorium of your rib cage,
Whispering stories of ruins and remains.
Those wild dandelions smell of cigarettes and smoke,
You are poison and beauty,
A realistic illusion to behold.
You are a little more darkness than light at the moment.
As I walk through your city of broken hearts,
Some pieces hang from the non existent sky,
While some lay scattered on the dirt path.
I step on few by mistake,
I see you wither in pain.
I apologize for the inconvenience I've caused,
But there is something so extraordinary,
About treading uncharted territories,
To explore places that have never been touched before.
Let me walk through forsaken forgotten relics of your soul.
I promise I'll not leave you emptier like the ones that came before.
I'll rebuild you from ashes,
I'll show you how beautiful your ruins are.
I'll graze my knees on your asphalt heart.
I'll stand on the boulevard of your shattered dreams and lost hope,
To rebuild them from scratch.
I'll caress your skin until you come back to life.

Happy Birthday: Project C.A.R.S. Is One Year Old
I don't know if you've ever seen a car, but they're pretty clever things. Most people use them for staying out of the rain and storing obsolete cassette tapes and CDs in. Apparently, though, they can even be made race each other, which has been the topic of simulation for Project C.A.R.S., which is a crowd-sourced(ish) game developed by Slightly Mad Studios. That project is now one year old. It's started to take its first steps, and can even say a few words. Bless. The team have talked proudly about its accomplishments, saying: "The title's content has been expanded broadly as well as over 26 cars and 36 tracks are already available in Project CARS. Several high-profile car manufacturers have joined the game as Project CARS will feature vehicles from manufacturers such as BMW, Ford, Briggs Automotive Company, Classic Team Lotus, Gumpert & Ginetta among others."
A rather fetching celebratory video can be found below. If you like shiny cars going quite fast, then it's worth a look.

As race fitness improves, the speed of the intervals should keep pace but should not exceed the race improvement level. Instead, it is better to add more hard work e.g., add another mile repeat rather than increasing the pace faster than the improving 10K and 5K average pace. This added hard work will add more fitness (better endurance and anaerobic threshold development) than will doing less hard work at higher speeds.
Length of Total Interval Session
The total length of the hard effort in an interval session should be in the range of 2 to 5 miles. It will tend toward the lower amount with shorter intervals and toward the upper limit for longer intervals. Most runners find 3 or 4 miles of hard effort to be the right amount of quality work in a single session. For example, typical workouts are: 4 x 1-mile; 12 to 16 x 400m; or 20 x 200m.
If the runner finds that the speed of his intervals is at the maximum recommended speed (see section above) and he is reaching the 5 miles of hard work and is not improving his times, one of two things are possible. First, if everything is being done right, he is in peak condition. Alternatively, the runner is turning into a workout king and needs to add more endurance training to be able to improve his race times.
The length of the workout will vary depending on other factors in the athlete's training. The greater the number of interval workouts, the fewer intervals needed in each workout. The higher the quality of the distance mileage, the smaller the amount of interval distance needed.
How Often to Do Interval Sessions
Finally, the runner needs to determine how often to do interval sessions. This will depend on the time of season, how well the distance running has gone, and the runner's physiology. For a slow-twitch athlete competing every other week and with a solid base of quality distance running, one long interval session and one short interval session during the fortnight should be sufficient, together with at least one other tempo run of 4 to 8 miles and several medium to hard distance runs.
At the other end of the spectrum, a fast-twitch runner who runs his distance mileage easy will need far more interval work during the same time period. Such an athlete might need two long interval sessions, two short interval sessions, and two tempo runs during a two-week period.
Athletes who race more frequently need to reduce their interval training sessions to accommodate the greater number of races, which are also a form of quality training. If there are fewer races, an interval session can be added. As racing season approaches, it is better to slightly under-train than risk overtraining, which causes fatigued muscles and requires substantial rest for recovery.
More: Are You Overtraining?
Interval training provides a level of fitness that is difficult for most runners to achieve via distance mileage alone. As with much of training, flexibility is needed in designing and performing interval sessions. Every runner is different and will react individually to different workouts. But if the purposes and principles of interval training are kept in mind, the runner should both enjoy and benefit from interval training.

From Conservapedia
- It has been proposed that this page, Bug, be titled, "Computer bug".
A Bug is a colloquial term for a natural pest (most commonly for insects but can also mean germs as in "coming down with a stomach bug") or flaws in a human-engineered product like a computer.
Software bugs are errors in computer software.
Levels of severity
There are levels of bugs:
- Crashes the operating system - you lose all your unsaved work in all programs
- Crashes the program - you lose your unsaved work in that program
- Feature stops working or works wrong
- Feature is hard to find ("Can't get there from here") - feature exists, but poorly documented, so you can't find it.
Other ways to classify bugs
- Some computer programmers distinguish between coding errors and design flaws, often using the half-joking justification, "That's not a bug. It's a feature!"
- Often the distinction between a coding error, a design flaw and a feature request is disregarded. Indeed, Sun Microsystems maintains a bug parade for their Java platform which lets everyone in the world vote for a bug fix or feature request.
The need for vigilance
Speaking of one particularly embarrassing software bug, world class Java expert Joshua Bloch wrote:
- The general lesson that I take away from this bug is humility: It is hard to write even the smallest piece of code correctly, and our whole world runs on big, complex pieces of code. We programmers need all the help we can get, and we should never assume otherwise. Careful design is great. Testing is great. Formal methods are great. Code reviews are great. Static analysis is great. But none of these things alone are sufficient to eliminate bugs: They will always be with us. A bug can exist for half a century despite our best efforts to exterminate it. We must program carefully, defensively, and remain ever vigilant. [1]
