A lot of folks are still curious about what is required of an ADA handrail. This explains it pretty well. The photos above are a railing that was designed, built and installed real quick like for the Monterey Presidio.
Handrail Accessibility Standards and Information -- Updated July 2010
There are two references that are used throughout the US in relation to accessibility: ICC/ANSI A117.1, Accessible and Usable Buildings and Facilities and The Americans With Disabilities Act Accessibility Guidelines (ADAAG)
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) became law in 1990. The ADA requires that all new places of public accommodation and commercial facilities be designed and constructed so as to be readily accessible and useable by persons with disabilities. ADAAG has been updated and the new ADAAG published on July 23, 2004.
Though completed in 2004, the new ADA was not approved by the Department of Justice until July 23, 2010 -- the 20th anniversary of the ADA. It was published in The Federal Register on Sept. 15, 2010 and will take effect on March 15, 2010. Compliance with the 2010 Standards for Accessible Design is permitted as of Sept. 15, 2010 but not required until March 15, 2012.
The new ADAAG and ANSI A117.1 now clearly state that handrail can be between 1-1/4" and 2" in diameter with a minimum distance between the wall and handrail of 1-1/2".
The ADA is a civil rights law – it is not a building code. The ADAAG though has been incorporated into many state and local building codes.
NOTE: Some jurisdictions are still referring to the 1992 ADA and are misapplying a limitation of handrail dimension between 1-1/4" and 1-1/2" diameter. This was intended to refer to nominal pipe size (actual diameter of 1.66" and 1.90"). In July 1998, The Access Board published this clarification in their "ADAAG Manual, a guide to the Americans with Disabilities Act Accessibility Guidelines". On page 44 of this document it states: Click here to download the ADAAG Manual page 44.
Handrails [4.8.5]
. . . ADAAG shows a diameter of of 1-1/4 to 1-1/2 inch for handrails. A standard IPS pipe designated as 1-1/4 to 1-1/2 inch is acceptable.
Text from ADAAG 2004 relating to handrails
505 Handrails
505.1 General. Handrails provided along walking surfaces complying with 403, required at ramps complying with 405, and required at stairs complying with 504 shall comply with 505.
Advisory 505.1 General. Handrails are required on ramp runs with a rise greater than 6 inches (150 mm) (see 405.8) and on certain stairways (see 504). Handrails are not required on walking surfaces with running slopes less than 1:20. However, handrails are required to comply with 505 when they are provided on walking surfaces with running slopes less than 1:20 (see 403.6). Sections 505.2, 505.3, and 505.10 do not apply to handrails provided on walking surfaces with running slopes less than 1:20 as these sections only reference requirements for ramps and stairs.
505.2 Where Required. Handrails shall be provided on both sides of stairs and ramps.
EXCEPTION: In assembly areas, handrails shall not be required on both sides of aisle ramps where a handrail is provided at either side or within the aisle width.
505.3 Continuity. Handrails shall be continuous within the full length of each stair flight or ramp run. Inside handrails on switchback or dogleg stairs and ramps shall be continuous between flights or runs.
EXCEPTION: In assembly areas, handrails on ramps shall not be required to be continuous in aisles serving seating.
505.4 Height. Top of gripping surfaces of handrails shall be 34 inches (865 mm) minimum and 38 inches (965 mm) maximum vertically above walking surfaces, stair nosings, and ramp surfaces. Handrails shall be at a consistent height above walking surfaces, stair nosings, and ramp surfaces.
Advisory 505.4 Height. The requirements for stair and ramp handrails in this document are for adults. When children are the principle users in a building or facility (e.g., elementary schools), a second set of handrails at an appropriate height can assist them and aid in preventing accidents. A maximum height of 28 inches (710 mm) measured to the top of the gripping surface from the ramp surface or stair nosing is recommended for handrails designed for children. Sufficient vertical clearance between upper and lower handrails, 9 inches (230 mm) minimum, should be provided to help prevent entrapment.
Figure (a) shows stairs with the top gripping surface of a handrail 34 to 38 inches (865 to 965 mm) above stair nosings. Figures (b) and (c) show ramps and walking surfaces, respectively. The top gripping surface of a handrail is 34 to 38 inches (865 to 965 mm) above the surface.
Figure 505.4
Handrail Height
505.5 Clearance. Clearance between handrail gripping surfaces and adjacent surfaces shall be 1 1/2 inches (38 mm) minimum.
The clearance between the handrail and wall is shown to be 1 1/ 2 inches (38 mm) minimum.
Figure 505.5
Handrail Clearance
505.6 Gripping Surface. Handrail gripping surfaces shall be continuous along their length and shall not be obstructed along their tops or sides. The bottoms of handrail gripping surfaces shall not be obstructed for more than 20 percent of their length. Where provided, horizontal projections shall occur 1 1/2 inches (38 mm) minimum below the bottom of the handrail gripping surface.
EXCEPTIONS: 1. Where handrails are provided along walking surfaces with slopes not steeper than 1:20, the bottoms of handrail gripping surfaces shall be permitted to be obstructed along their entire length where they are integral to crash rails or bumper guards.
2. The distance between horizontal projections and the bottom of the gripping surface shall be permitted to be reduced by 1/8 inch (3.2 mm) for each 1/2 inch (13 mm) of additional handrail perimeter dimension that exceeds 4 inches (100 mm).
Advisory 505.6 Gripping Surface. People with disabilities, older people, and others benefit from continuous gripping surfaces that permit users to reach the fingers outward or downward to grasp the handrail, particularly as the user senses a loss of equilibrium or begins to fall.
A handrail with brackets attached to the bottom surface is shown in cross section. The horizontal projection of the bracket from the wall is 1 1/2 inches (38 mm) below the bottom of the handrail.
Figure 505.6
Horizontal Projections Below Gripping Surface
505.7 Cross Section. Handrail gripping surfaces shall have a cross section complying with 505.7.1 or 505.7.2.
505.7.1 Circular Cross Section. Handrail gripping surfaces with a circular cross section shall have an outside diameter of 1 1/4 inches (32 mm) minimum and 2 inches (51 mm) maximum.
505.7.2 Non-Circular Cross Sections. Handrail gripping surfaces with a non-circular cross section shall have a perimeter dimension of 4 inches (100 mm) minimum and 6 1/4 inches (160 mm) maximum, and a cross-section dimension of 2 1/4 inches (57 mm) maximum.
Figure (a) shows a handrail with an approximately square cross section and figure (c) shows an elliptical cross section. The largest cross section dimension is 2 1/4 inches (57 mm) maximum. The perimeter dimension must be 4 to 6 1/4 inches (100 to 160 mm).
Figure 505.7.2
Handrail Non-Circular Cross Section
505.8 Surfaces. Handrail gripping surfaces and any surfaces adjacent to them shall be free of sharp or abrasive elements and shall have rounded edges.
505.9 Fittings. Handrails shall not rotate within their fittings.
505.10 Handrail Extensions. Handrail gripping surfaces shall extend beyond and in the same direction of stair flights and ramp runs in accordance with 505.10.
EXCEPTIONS: 1. Extensions shall not be required for continuous handrails at the inside turn of switchback or dogleg stairs and ramps.
2. In assembly areas, extensions shall not be required for ramp handrails in aisles serving seating where the handrails are discontinuous to provide access to seating and to permit crossovers within aisles.
3. In alterations, full extensions of handrails shall not be required where such extensions would be hazardous due to plan configuration.
505.10.1 Top and Bottom Extension at Ramps. Ramp handrails shall extend horizontally above the landing for 12 inches (305 mm) minimum beyond the top and bottom of ramp runs. Extensions shall return to a wall, guard, or the landing surface, or shall be continuous to the handrail of an adjacent ramp run.
Ramp handrails at the top and bottom are shown to extend horizontally above the landing 12 inches (305 mm) minimum from the ramp run. The extensions return to posts.
Figure 505.10.1
Top and Bottom Handrail Extension at Ramps
505.10.2 Top Extension at Stairs. At the top of a stair flight, handrails shall extend horizontally above the landing for 12 inches (305 mm) minimum beginning directly above the first riser nosing. Extensions shall return to a wall, guard, or the landing surface, or shall be continuous to the handrail of an adjacent stair flight.
The handrail extends horizontally above the landing for 12 inches (305 mm) minimum beginning directly above the first riser nosing.

As a native Scot and petrolhead, I confess to a little shame at having never completed the famous North Coast 500 before.
So when I was sent the new Ford Fiesta ST to test it seemed like the ideal time to venture north – a self-declared driver's car on some of the most acclaimed roads in the country.
The i newsletter latest news and analysis
And the Fiesta didn't disappoint.
Some people take supercars around the NC500 and while there are stretches that suit such beasts, far more of it is narrow and winding, peppered with single-track and shoddy surfaces. Better matched, then, to something small, nimble and responsive than something as wide as a bus and with 600+bhp to marshal.
Ford raised eyebrows when it announced that this ST would drop the old 1.6-litre four-cylinder engine in favour of a three-cylinder. However, the 1.5-litre three-pot is clearly up to the job. Its output is the same as the final special editions of the last gen – at 198bhp – and Ford have done a great job building a flexible, lively, yet economical unit that suits the nature of the car.
Ford Fiesta ST
Price: £21,150 (£26,550 as tested)
Engine: 1.5-litre, three-cylinder, turbo, petrol
Power: 198bhp
Torque: 214lb/ft
Transmission: Six-speed manual
Top speed: 144mph
0-62mph: 6.5 seconds
Economy: 32.1-46.3mpg
CO2 emissions: 136g/km
It revs willingly and despite the turbo kicking in early benefits from a good dose of revs. But it's also flexible enough that you can drift around on reserves of torque (214lb/ft) if you're feeling lazy. It even sounds good, thanks to some active exhaust valve trickery.
The 62mph sprint takes 6.5 seconds and there's optional launch control, which Ford insists is for track use only but is available in two of the three selectable drive modes. These adjust the throttle, stability control and steering to suit "normal", "sport" and "track" conditions.

Since the very first Focus, handling has been Ford's party piece and the latest Fiesta doesn't let the side down. On the insane switchbacks of the Bealach na Ba and across the snaking single-track roads around the north-west, the little Ford responds quickly and neatly to every input.
Even at low speeds it feels agile but as you press on it becomes increasingly responsive, dancing along with confidence thanks to unique force-vectoring rear suspension and the fastest steering rack this side of a Focus ST.
Use the sharp-shifting six-speed manual transmission to keep the turbo spinning and it reacts rapidly, squirting from corner to corner and fizzing along B-roads exactly the way a small hot hatch should.
Our car's Performance Pack adds a Quaife mechanical limited-slip differential to help make cornering neater and quicker but with the steering just off-centre a heavy right foot can still provoke some obvious torque steer.
Such agility and liveliness does translate into a lively ride. The ST lacks the composure of the less engaging VW Polo GTI and is a good deal firmer than the standard car. One colleague reckons it is too rough as a daily driver but I disagree. This is, after all, a hot hatch and you need to sacrifice some comfort for such sharp handling.
The appeal of hot hatches has always been that as well as being thrilling to drive when the conditions are right they can cope with the everyday tasks of a normal hatchback.
Its firm ride aside, the Fiesta does a fine job as a regular supermini.
You can have it in three or five-door shapes and while it's still not massive inside there's space for a couple of smaller passengers in the rear and those up front have enough room. The boot's also a decent size – it swallowed four days' worth of camping gear, so can easily accommodate a weekly shop or a pushchair.
Nobody buys a hot hatch for its economy but the Fiesta's achievements here also deserve to be applauded. Over 945 miles of some of Scotland's best, most driver-focused roads it returned an astonishing 40.5mpg thanks, in part, to its cylinder-deactivation tech.
At £21,150 the tested ST-2 brings an eight-inch Sync3 media system with 10-speaker B&O Play audio, cruise control, lane keep aid, and eye-catching 17-inch alloys. Our car's long list of options bumped that to north or £26,000 but it's down to buyers whether a panoramic sunroof, full LED lights and a fancy paint job are worth splashing out on.
They're nice but, the £925 Performance Pack aside, have little impact on the car's main appeal.
At its core, the Fiesta ST is a riotous little ball of energy that nails its brief of being equally at home on a track, a B-road or the supermarket run.

Porter to begin implementing replay during spring
KISSIMMEE, Fla. -- Astros manager Bo Porter plans to simulate the use of instant replay as much as he can during Grapefruit League games, even though he won't always have access to a replay monitor. For Porter, it's about identifying potential plays to challenge and learning the terminology and what he can or can't do.
Officials from Major League Baseball, led by Joe Torre and Tony La Russa, briefed the Astros, Nationals, Tigers and Braves during a two-hour, 45-minute meeting Friday on expanded instant replay that will begin this year.
"They did a tremendous job of putting the information together and kind of giving us scenarios," Porter said. "It was long, but it was very much needed, and I think it was very beneficial at the same time."
Porter said one of the issues that was addressed during the meeting was the timing of when you can challenge.
"There were some questions that came up, 'OK, if you have to make it before a pitching change is being made, if that guy leaves the bullpen when does that constitute him being in the game?'" Porter said. "We were able to kind of clarify all of those issues and I think everybody left there yesterday feeling comfortable with the rules, and it's a thing we're actually going to be able to put into practice this spring."
Torre said each team will have at least five games during Spring Training during which it can implement replay, but the Astros are going to have their own program and use walkie-talkies to communicate with their video staff when they're able this spring.
"We're going to go ahead and start from Day 1 and implement our process among myself, [bench coach Dave Trembley], the coaching staff, the video people, so we can practice it the entire spring," Porter said.

Girls Basketball: Bellport star scores her 1,000th; Wildcats fall
Christmas music played during breaks in play, lending a festive atmosphere to the non-league high school girls basketball game between Bellport and Shoreham-Wading River on Saturday. But Bellport's standout player, Arella Guirantes, had added reason to be of good cheer.
It isn't often when Guirantes feels uncomfortable on a basketball court, but that was the case for the junior guard for several minutes early in the fourth quarter when the spotlight was figuratively cast on her, and her alone.
Guirantes sank a free throw 16 seconds into the fourth quarter of the game at Shoreham-Wading River High School to become the third player in Bellport history to reach the 1,000-point mark. The game was stopped and her achievement was announced on the public-address system. One of the Shoreham players, Shannon Rosati, hugged Guirantes, who was presented with flowers and the game ball that she held as she posed for photographs. She was all smiles.
Afterward, Guirantes had an awful lot to smile about. Having entered the season-opening game needing 24 points to reach 1,000, the player with the smooth shooting touch struck for 35 points. No other Bellport player scored more than 4 points. Guirantes shot 10 of 19 from the field, 2 of 5 from 3-point range and made 13 of 15 foul shots.
And yet, that wasn't nearly all she did. Guirantes, a productive player, also accounted for 17 rebounds, 7 blocks, 4 steals and 2 assists. Talk about putting in a full day's work.
Guirantes, who as a sophomore became the third Bellport player to be named to Newsday's All-Long Island team, has received about a dozen scholarship offers from colleges, according to her coach, Rodney O'Neal. She showed her quality against the Wildcats, who marked a milestone of their own with the varsity coaching debut of Adam Lievre, who was formerly Shoreham's junior varsity coach.
Try as they did, the Wildcats couldn't stop Guirantes, who was guarded by Jessica McCormack, but often faced double- and even triple-team attention when she had the ball in her hands.
Guirantes scored Bellport's first 15 points. By halftime she had already scored 17 points and her 1,000th point seemed a virtual certainty.
Bellport, which held the lead since early in the second quarter, outrebounded the Wildcats by 38-20, and 16-6 on the offensive end. Maame Amankwah pulled in 9 of those rebounds before fouling out with 41.8 seconds left in the game. Earlier in the quarter, her teammate Nicole Powell had picked up her fifth personal foul as a result of a technical foul.
Shoreham's biggest issue, it seemed, was shooting. The Wildcats shot 30.4 percent from the field and 10 of 22 from the foul line.
It didn't help Shoreham's cause that it played without one of its regular starters, senior forward Taylor Whiffen, who was taking a Scholastic Aptitude Test.
The Wildcats did have Courtney Clasen, the talented junior guard/forward who totaled 19 points, 11 rebounds, 4 steals, 3 blocks and 2 assists. Rosati chipped in 11 points.
Both teams endured a scare with 32.7 seconds remaining when Bellport's Haley Wagner and Shoreham's Alex Hutchins and Clasen met in a violent collision while racing for a loose ball. Clasen, who took a head to the neck from Hutchins, remained on the floor for a while along with Wagner. Both players walked off and were later said to be fine.

Anyone seen Vera Drake? Really you must, honestly, the funniest fucking film I think I've ever seen? Yes, it wins; I laughed and laughed and laughed until I was almost sick…
What is the matter with British Filmakers? Ken Loach, David Lean, Terence Davies (Mike Leigh of course, who also made the gigglefest masterpiece that is Naked) all have this aptitude to craft pure unadulterated misery.
Of course I enjoy British Films immensely, when we want we make (certainly have made) the greatest films in the world, putting aside the Hitch and Chaplin-directors that went oversees, and had much more fun with their genre -Michael Powell probably ranks as the most accomplished filmmaker ever. Yet we still have this kinky penchant to make these deeply introspect dialogues that examine the minutiae of (usually) parochial British existence.
But Vera Drake must take the biscuit for being the most ceaselessly bleak and unremittingly depressing film ever made, it makes All is Quiet on The Western Front seem like Airplane. There isn't any one aspect of this film that is cheery, by the time it'd finished I felt like drinking a bottle of gin and taking a hot bath clutching a knitting needle. Christ help us.
Regular readers may have noticed that I've not mentioned Cunt in while. It would seem, now the flat is on the market, that his 5-year noise campaign has achieved its objective. He can now relax. Mission accomplished. I sincerely hope my successors are a large physically disabled family, partially deaf, hugely obese and with a psychotic devotion to Country and Western. Having said that I spoke to James over the weekend and my situation with Cunt was put somewhat into perspective.
James has a 3 month old son, he and his wife have put their house on the market, it's not a big house and it's in a dubious area of sarf London so… time to go. James's neighbour is a single 'mother' with a son in his early teens, from the outset James and his missus have been privy to this poor sod being verbally abused by his sponsor and a succession of Bill Sykes type 'boy'friends. Apparently it's very upsetting, especially as the kid never says a word back.
Last week James came home to find a hole in his fence, it could've only been the neighbour that did it (only person that had access to the fence) and James suspected it was 'revenge' because his son is a baby and has this habit of crying… James went to ask her about the fence and before he'd a chance to say a word was subject to a tirade of verbal abuse and threats of violence. If this wasn't bad enough from then-on every time his son cries this fucking bitch (take note dear reader, 'bitch' is a word I never use to describe a woman unless I really mean it) whacks her stereo up at ear splitting volume…
Speaking of volume, I'm seeing the Jesus and Mary Chain this evening. Let's hope they play longer than 7 minutes when I last saw them back in the 80's when I was, er, 7.

HealthDay Reporters
SUNDAY, Oct. 7 (HealthDay News) -- The number of meningitis cases believed to be linked to contaminated steroid injections has risen to 91 in nine states, and the number of deaths remains at seven, U.S. health officials reported Sunday.
All of the patients were thought to be injected with methylprednisolone acetate, a steroid drug commonly used for back pain. Investigators suspect the steroid was contaminated with a fungus usually found in leaf mold that can trigger a rare but deadly type of meningitis, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Health officials in 23 states continue to try to track down patients who received the injections.
The drug was manufactured by a specialty pharmacy, New England Compounding Center of Framingham, Mass., which last month voluntarily recalled three lots of the steroid. It has since shut down operations and stopped distributing its products, health officials said.
The CDC on late Friday released a list of the approximately 75 health-care facilities that received contaminated product.
The CDC offered the following state-by-state breakdown of cases on Sunday: Florida: 4 cases; Indiana: 8 cases; Maryland: 3 cases, including 1 death; Michigan: 20 cases, including 2 deaths; Minnesota: 3 cases; North Carolina: 2 cases; Ohio: 1 case; Tennessee: 32 cases, including 3 deaths; Virginia: 18 cases, including 1 death.
U.S. health officials said they expect to see more cases of the rare type of meningitis, which is not contagious, because symptoms can take a month or more to appear.
All of the infected patients are thought to have received the medication from the Massachusetts pharmacy, said Dr. Benjamin Park, a medical officer with the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's National Center for Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious Diseases.
Infected patients have developed a variety of symptoms approximately one to four weeks following their injection. Symptoms include fever, new or worsening headache, nausea, and "new neurological deficit (consistent with deep brain stroke)," the CDC said Friday evening in a news release. Some of these patients' symptoms were very mild in nature. Cerebrospinal fluid from these patients has shown findings consistent with meningitis, the agency said.
The CDC said the New England Compounding Center last month voluntarily recalled the following lots of methylprednisolone acetate:
Doctors should immediately contact patients who have had an injection from any of the three lots to see if they're having any symptoms, the CDC said. Although all cases of meningitis detected so far occurred after injections with products from these three lots, the CDC and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration recommended, "out of an abundance of caution," that health-care professionals not use any products produced by the New England Compounding Center until more information is available.
Patients who have had a steroid injection since July, and have any of the following symptoms, should talk to their doctor as soon as possible:
The suspected steroid was shipped to 23 states, Park said.
A Nashville, Tenn., clinic reportedly received the largest shipment of the steroid.
The steroid procedure -- called lumbar epidural steroid injection -- is a common treatment for back pain that has not responded to medicines, physical therapy or other nonsurgical treatments. Although it is usually safe, experts now urge anyone who has recently had the procedure and experiences severe headache, fever, chills or nausea to notify a doctor immediately.
"From the time of the injection until symptoms appear may be a month or more," said Dr. William Schaffner, an infectious disease expert at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville.
But he added that not everyone who got the steroid injection will develop meningitis -- an inflammation of tissue surrounding the brain and spinal cord -- but it's hard to know how many will.
Also, he and other experts said some of the symptoms associated with this rare form of meningitis are unusual.
"One of the things we are just learning about these patients is that they can present with minor stroke-like symptoms, which would include slurred speech and unsteady gait," Schaffner said.
Stroke is not usually associated with either bacterial or viral meningitis, said another expert, Dr. Pascal James Imperato, a dean at the School of Public Health of SUNY Downstate Medical Center in New York City.
Infected patients must receive intravenous drugs in a hospital setting, Imperato said.
Treatment can take weeks if not months, because these infections are difficult to treat, Schaffner explained. And the drugs can have severe side effects, including affecting kidney function, he added.
While some infected patients are doing well, others are in intensive care and may die, according to published reports.
Although the steroid is the primary target of investigation, health officials haven't ruled out the antiseptic and anesthetic used during the injections as a possible cause of the outbreak, experts said.
Dr. Marc Siegel, associate professor of medicine at NYU Langone Medical Center in New York City, said the meningitis outbreak underscores the importance of sterilization procedures in intravenous and intramuscular shots.
"I believe that this could have been prevented by more vigilance," Siegel said.
However, he added that he doesn't expect the number of infected patients to balloon in the near future.
"This is not going to be an epidemic, because the fungus is weak and there isn't a reservoir," Siegel said. "But there will continue to be isolated cases over the next several weeks because of the long incubation period."
Specialty manufacturers like New England Compounding Center make drug solutions that aren't available from the big pharmaceutical companies, but they aren't subject to the same rigorous safety standards, such as FDA oversight.

Most keysets were supplied with clear buttons, and usually a red button for the hold feature (if present). Pressing the hold button released the latching keys. Other colored buttons were occasionally used to indicate special features or to help some lines stand out for ease of use.
Here are a few loose buttons sent by Rick Gast and from parts boxes at shows.
The set is a 2568 HAAM, 3/79.
The 2 clear buttons on the set are on latching keys for seperate lines, and the three colored keys on the right are on momentary keys for signaling. Most phones had one momentary contact signal button - typically to buzz a secretary, receptionist or members of a work group when calls needed to be transferred or a latching button for internal communication (intercom). Multiple buttons could be used for selectively signalling different individuals or groups.
The larger loose keys on the right came from later model Call Directors or sets such as the 830, 831, 851 or 852.

The OID is a distance sensor with time-of-flight measurement based on PMD technology (PMD = Photonic Mixer Device). It combines the advantages of long ranges, reliable background suppression, visible red light and high excess gain in one compact, robust M30 housing.
Switch point setting of the unit is easy and intuitive via a scaled setting ring (easy-turn). A scale shows the distance set. The switch point can thus be set before installation.
The accurate background suppression ensures that even shiny, matt, dark or light objects are safely detected. The unit allows any angle of incidence and thus any mounting position, which facilitates installation and saves costs.
Versions with laser class 1 meet the requirements of applications in the automotive industry.

State Police will investigate whether shooting of Norwich man was justified
Photo: AP
NORWICH -- State police have identified a man who was shot to death by Norwich police after they say he pointed a handgun at them.
Troopers say Michael Dugas, 52, of Norwich, was pronounced dead at a hospital after Sunday night's shooting near his Laurel Hill Avenue home.
City police responded to a 911 call about a man with a gun shortly before 7:30 p.m. Officers say Dugas told them he was armed and upset.
Officers say Dugas refused to follow their orders and they were forced to shoot him when he pointed a pistol at them.
Neighbor Paul Johnson told The Day of New London that he heard about 15 gunshots.
Police haven't released the names of the officers involved. They were not injured.
State prosecutors and police are investigating.

OMC Parts
The Outboard Marine Corporation (OMC) was formed in 1929 but it's outboards and sterndrives became known as OMC's in 1956 during the decade when recreational boating first surged in popularity. That was when OMC diversified its product line. On the recreational boating motors front, OMC invested in new technologies including its newer stern-drive engines, developed to power another corporate acquisition that produced 16-19 foot boats.
Sterndrive or inboard-outboard motors proved to be as versatile as outboards (which outsold them 10-1) but with greater fuel economy and dependability. The problem in popularity proved to be the engines' technological advances. Dealers at that time did not know how to maintain or to repair them! A quick series of crash courses in the field remedied that oversight. Sterndrives' popularity continued to develop when they converted their engines to fuel injection, which enabled literal turnkey starts and increased fuel economy. When your vessel requires OMC sterndrive parts, know that Wholesale Marine will have what you require in stock and ready to ship.

EDMONTON - The angel that divined the introduction between Adam Mramor and Kelsey Ross was also in the cockpit of the Chinook helicopter he piloted several months later when it was shot out of the sky by Taliban forces in Afghanistan. She was present a year later during the marriage proposal, when Adam sank to one knee in the snow near Kelsey's parents' cabin on Christmas Eve day. And she most certainly made her presence known at the couple's outdoor wedding ceremony in Jasper this fall, providing a majestic backdrop that could only be described as heaven-sent.
"We got married on Thanksgiving," says Kelsey, 28. "We thought it was fitting because we have so much to be grateful for: friends, family, freedom, our lives together — and the fact Adam returned home safely from Afghanistan."
Only weeks before the attack, the couple had reunited in Ireland during a break in his deployment. They spent three weeks driving through the beautiful countryside, kayaking, biking, surfing and dining on rich pub food.
It was their mutual passion for active living that brought them together in the first place, in the summer of 2009.
Well, that and a bit of divine intervention.
At the time, she was a registered nurse at the Stollery, and also coached youth karate classes evenings and weekends. He was a pilot in the Canadian military, and had just moved from White Rock to Edmonton to join the 408th squadron at the Edmonton Garrison. It was a busy time for both of them, but it was lonely, too.
They decided to throw caution to the wind, and wound up joining the same online dating site.
Cue the angel.
There was no mistaking the chemistry between them during their first coffee date, so making the decision to get together again was a no-brainer. Their first "real date" happened a few days later when they took their bikes — and a picnic lunch Adam packed himself — to Elk Island National Park.
The conversation was non-stop. They talked about their jobs, their families, the things they liked to do. He was into rugby, soccer, running and mountain-biking. She was into karate, squash and swimming. Both were extremely close to their families.
"We totally hit it off on that first date," says Kelsey.
Their schedules made it difficult to get together, but they eked out time for lunch dates, and spent hours talking on the phone. They even managed to attend a few hockey games at Rexall when the Vancouver Canucks were in town, each cheering loudly for their team.
Over the next few months, they became inseparable.
Their emotions for each other were intense, made more so by the pre-deployment training which took Adam away from Edmonton at least half of the time — and which would ultimately take him to Afghanistan, at the time one of the most dangerous places in the world.
A few weeks following their romantic rendezvous in Ireland, on Aug. 5, 2010, Kelsey awoke to news that a Chinook helicopter had been shot down by enemy fire while on a mission in the Panjwaii district. Her heart stopped. A few hours later, the call came that both confirmed her worst fears and made her weak at the knees with relief. It was Adam, calling from the hospital in Kandahar. It was his helicopter that had been shot down, but he was OK, he told her, other than being stiff and sore.
Despite the crash, Adam continued flying missions over the next four months and completed his tour of duty.
The stiffness and soreness he first experienced grew worse over time, but he soldiered on. What he came to realize was that even though he didn't suffer any fractures, his body had absorbed the entire impact of the crash. The soft-tissue damage was extensive, as was the damage to the muscles in his back. When he returned home, he was still experiencing incredible pain, and unable to do a lot of the things he loved.
For the next year, instead of running or biking, the couple went for walks, cooked together and took their new puppy — named Chinook — to obedience classes.
"We put our entire focus on Adam's rehabilitation," says Kelsey.
Once that was established, they turned their attention to each other. Adam's Christmas Eve proposal was a turning point in his recovery, and in their lives together.
The outdoor ceremony at the Jasper Airfield more than four months ago was everything they imagined it to be, and then some.
While the day dawned bright and sunny, clouds began forming over the mountains as the ceremony drew closer, causing more than a few worried glances skyward. The rain held off through the ceremony, though, and even through the picture-taking afterward.
It was only when the last photograph was taken, and the couple started making their way back to the hotel, that they felt the first raindrops on their face.
"And even then," says Kelsey. "It wasn't like it poured or anything. It was a soft rain, really more of a sprinkle."
A kiss, perhaps, from an angel.
Wedding date: Oct. 7, 2012

Budget: $15,000
First dance song: Come Away With Me, by Norah Jones

Top IVF with Embryo Freezing Centres in Minsk with options to book your first appointment FREE. Check Reviews, Fees, Cost, Success rates, Contact Number and Address for all IVF with Embryo Freezing Treatments.
vulica Dahabrodskaja, Minsk
Embryo Freezing is a newly developed ART procedure to increase the chances of pregnancy or to keep the unused embryos from a previous IVF cycle safe for future use. The cryopreservation technology has improved significantly in IVF with Embryo Freezing Centres in Minsk in the last few years to provide better results in pregnancy and live birth rates.
During IVF or ICSI treatment, a number of eggs are fertilized and some of them are transferred into a woman's uterus in the first cycle of treatment. The remaining embryos are kept for the next cycle in case of failure in pregnancy. These good quality embryos are frozen and preserved in a specially designed laboratory for future use, research or donation. In IVF with Embryo Freezing Centres in Minsk, experienced embryologists inside a state-of-the-art laboratory perform the procedure of freezing the embryos efficiently.
In most cases of IVF, excess good quality embryos are preserved by a method of cryopreservation for use in subsequent IVF cycles. These embryos are frozen at any stage from the time it is fertilized to the blastocyst stage in which the embryos are five to six days old. Embryos are preserved in cryoprotectant fluid and frozen in liquid nitrogen at -196°C.
During IVF treatment, eggs extracted from a woman's ovary are fertilized in the lab with her partner's sperms. The process encourages fertilization of a number of eggs, which develop into embryos. Some of these embryos are transferred in the uterus to assist pregnancy. Excess good quality embryos are kept for subsequent cycles, which are preserved, by freezing or cryopreservation.
The embryos are kept in special containers in an advanced laboratory facility. This procedure allows infertile patients to save time and money on the next cycle of IVF treatment, as women do not have to go through egg retrieval procedures or take medications. If a woman fails to conceive in her first try, the infertility specialists begin the next cycle of embryo transfer, during which the remaining frozen embryos are thawed and prepared.
Generally, some couples choose to cryopreserve their embryos as they have a desire to become pregnant at a later time. Other reasons for embryo freezing may include cancer treatment, increasing age or risk of injury.
There are two methods of freezing embryos:
These frozen embryos are effectively suspended in time, therefore, can be stored for indefinite periods. At this state, all biological activity within the embryos is paused, including cell growth or expiration. When required, embryos are slowly thawed and soaked in defrosting fluids to remove cryoprotectants and to restore water within cells. The longest duration for which, an embryo stayed frozen and was successfully used resulting in a healthy pregnancy was 19 years.
Monitoring frozen embryos are very important to maintain the quality. In IVF with Embryo Freezing Centres in Minsk, the tanks that contain frozen embryos are monitored 7 days a week. Each tank is physically inspected for leaks, failure or contamination. The nitrogen in the tank is also checked regularly to maintain a certain temperature since it evaporates continuously.
IVF with Embryo Freezing Centres in Minsk also uses electronic tank monitoring sensors to ensure that tanks perform to specifications. Devices attached to the tank detect any rise in temperature or drop in the level of liquid in the tank. Sensors are connected to a telephone alarm system that alerts hospital staff in case of an emergency.
Before embryo transfer is performed, there are a few steps and medications the doctor may follow:
Patients can Perform Additional Transfer Cycle. Frozen embryos can be used for repeated transfer cycles if the fresh transfer is unsuccessful, thus increasing the possibility of pregnancy. It provides an option for another cycle without taking ovarian stimulation medication or going through another egg retrieval procedure. The development of vitrification methods in IVF with Embryo Freezing Centres in Minsk has resulted in outstanding outcomes, with more and more patients achieving pregnancy from a single stimulated egg retrieval cycle.
In IVF with Embryo Freezing Centres in Minsk, Preimplantation genetic screening (PGS) is also performed to look for abnormalities in chromosome number, and other deformities that are likely to result in implantation failure or miscarriage.
Vitrified embryos have a high survival rate and reproductive potential for many years. The standard storage period for embryos is normally ten years although there are records of women preserving their embryos for more than 20 years. Women can preserve their eggs at an early age and go for FET (frozen embryo transfer) in the future when a decision to expand a family is taken.
As a woman's fertility starts to decrease after the age of 35 years, therefore, it is recommended to freeze embryos in the prime reproductive years i.e. when the female's age is between 20 to 30 years. At this age, women have the best quality of eggs in more quantities. As the women ages, the number of eggs decreases along with cellular integrity. This is why women in her 40s only have five percent chance of becoming pregnant. Poor lifestyle or hereditary factors can cause fertility to weaken even at an earlier age; therefore, it is always better to freeze embryos at an early age.
Success rates of pregnancy using frozen embryos are now much better due to development in medical technology. Advanced methods of egg retrieval, IVF treatments and egg freezing techniques are introduced in IVF with Embryo Freezing Centres in Minsk to achieve fertilization and pregnancy. Birth rates are slightly higher for fresh transfers in women under 35 years but the rate of women aged 35 to 37 years are equal. For women aged over 37 years, birth rates with frozen embryos are actually higher than the rates achieved with fresh embryos. This may be because the embryos were created using eggs collected when the woman was at the prime stage of reproduction.
Below are comparisons of birth rates with frozen embryo transfer and fresh embryo transfer considering the age of a woman.
It is observed and concluded in many studies that the vitrification process ensures more than 90 percent survival rates. In the same study, it is proved that the success rate of pregnancy using frozen embryos is found to be better than those with fresh ones are. Frozen embryo transfer results in:
In IVF with Embryo Freezing Centres in Minsk, most of the cost is accounted for maintaining the tanks, monitoring the embryos and for managing the inventory of stored embryos. Only embryologists look after the condition of the embryos and handle liquid nitrogen to maintain a suitable temperature. Only IVF with Embryo Freezing Centres in Minsk has a special permit from the city for the use of liquid nitrogen in the premises. IVF with Embryo Freezing Centres in Minsk costs around Rs.5,300 to Rs.12,000 for six months.
Patients from all over the world visit IVF with Embryo Freezing Centres in Minsk for their best-in-class services. These centres are reliable, less expensive and have advanced facilities to perform procedures related to IVF and embryo freezing. Doctors and embryologists also have experience in performing the most suitable techniques in embryo freezing and transfer.

OpenBSD 5.0 and Current i386 buggy acpi tables
In am trying to use OpenBSD in an Everex 1500 Stepnote laptop. Installation went fine but on booting, the /bsd kernel, it hangs at acpiprt4. I have tried both 5.0 and current
I have tried using ukc to disable acpi0 which leads to a kernel panic
panic: no isa bus
I was going to try fiddling with changing acpi0 in ukc but the only configurable values that come up are bus [-1] and flags [0x0]. I do not have the foggiest idea what are reasonable bus numbers or flags to try and did not get much enlightenment with the man pages for acpi.
The phoenix bios itself does not have any acpi configurations options
Is this a lost cause? I can still run Debian Squeeze/Arch on the system but had the sense that was a good time to install current.
Ah, one more thing to try: using "verbose" at the UKC> prompt. You might see something at the hang that provides a useful hint -- there might be a message about something after acpiprt4, for example.

Thanks for the diagram. I think I have some insight regarding the hierarchy/dependencies of the device drivers and will now consider this a lost cause and move on to FreeBSD

There is nothing Italian about this dessert that I made for us on Valentine's Day. The Neapolitan in the name of the dish refers to Neapolitan ice cream. When I was young, my dad would buy half-gallons of Neapolitan ice cream. This was a brick of ice cream divided into three stripes of flavor. On the left was chocolate, on the right vanilla, and in the middle strawberry.
I never understood why this was particularly Neapolitan. My father asserted it was because the ice cream resembled the flag of Naples. I bought it, not wondering why a region would have a brown, pink, and white flag until later when I found out the flag of Naples is half yellow, half red. I think the presence of layers is the important bit, not the actual flavors or colors. I'd still love to know the origins of the name and how Neapolitan came to embody a carton of three flavored ice cream with the chocolate all dugout (that's how it worked in my house).
In any case, here's a simple dessert that's both romantic and delicious. You can prepare a tray of these strawberries ahead of time and keep them in the refrigerator until you're ready to serve them. If you keep them in plastic bags, the berries will start to leak a bit. I think this is a consequence of their exposure to heat from the chocolate.
Neapolitan Strawberries
Ingredients :
- 16-20 large strawberries
- 4 oz. mascarpone cheese
- 3 tablespoons sugar (adjust to suit your sweet tooth)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoon dark rum
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 1 bar semi-sweet chocolate (2 oz.)
- 1 bar bittersweet chocolate (2 oz.)
Instruction :
- Remove the tops from the strawberries and with a small sharp paring knife cut out the whiter centers from the berries. Leave each strawberry with a significant v-shaped cavity, but be careful not to cut through the bottom of the strawberry.
- Mix cheese, sugar, rum, and vanilla together in a bowl with a fork. Mix together with a fork until the graininess of the sugar is gone and the mix is smooth.
- Using a small spoon, stuff each berry with the creamy mascarpone mixture. Put berries on a sheet pan in the freezer for five minutes before the next step. While waiting, place some parchment paper on another sheet pan.
- In a double boiler over medium heat melt the semi-sweet and bittersweet chocolate, stirring the chocolates together. If you don't have an actual double boiler, place a metal bowl over a saucepan filled with boiling water, but not so much water that the bowl touches it. The steam from the boiling water will heat the bottom of the bowl evenly so you can melt the chocolate without burning it.
- Take the strawberries out of the freezer. Using tongs, dip each berry in the chocolate and roll the bottom of the berry until it is well coated. Remove to the parchment-covered sheet pan and repeat with the next berry. Although you could certainly dip the strawberries using your hand, I do not recommend it. Chocolate is filled with fat and sugar and loves to cling to things like unprotected fingers, causing bad burns.
- As the reservoir of chocolate is used up, your berries may become more difficult to coat. You also may need to rinse the tongs off from time to time as they get inevitably crusted with chocolate.
- When the strawberries have all been dipped, place the tray in the refrigerator for at least ten minutes to give the chocolate a chance to firm up on the berry. Serve with port wine or a glass of champagne.
- Leftover strawberries should last until someone realizes they're in there.
- Leftover mascarpone and chocolate can be mixed together for a quick and easy dessert.

June 20, 2013
Providence, R.I. – The BIG EAST Conference on Thursday announced the 24 winners of the 2012-13 BIG EAST Scholar-Athlete Sport Excellence Awards, which recognize academic and athletic achievement, as well as, community service, and Notre Dame's Greg Andrews (Men's Tennis), Alexa Aragon (Women's Outdoor Track and Field), Kim Holden (Women's Swimming and Diving), Jennifer Kellner (Women's Tennis) and Abby Meyers (Rowing) all received the honor.
The Scholar-Athlete Sport Excellence Awards are given to one student-athlete in each BIG EAST-sponsored sport based on academic credentials, athletic accolades or performances and volunteer service to the community. Student-athletes who have attained junior academic standing and a minimum cumulative grade-point average of 3.00 are eligible. The winners were chosen by the BIG EAST Faculty Athletics Representative Council.
The five honorees equal the most ever for Notre Dame and marks the third time that the Irish have had five honorees since the award started. The five athletes selected are the most among all BIG EAST schools for the 2012-13 season with Louisville finishing second with four while Marquette, Seton Hall and Villanova each had three athletes selected.
Greg Andrews – Men's Tennis Junior – Richland, Mich./Gull Lake H.S.
Andrews, who recently completed his junior year and sports a 3.867 in accounting from the Mendoza College of Business, has been a model student-athlete for head coach Bobby Bayliss throughout his career in the program. The Richland, Mich., native has appeared on the Dean's List all six semesters he has been at Notre Dame and has been named a BIG EAST Academic All-Star twice with the 2012-13 list still yet to be released. For his efforts in the classroom, Andrews was recently named a first team Capital One Academic All-America® Division I At-Large selection after earning Capital One Academic All-District V first team honors in May.
On the court, Andrews is a two-time BIG EAST Player of the Year (2012 and 2013) honoree and helped lead the Irish to this year's BIG EAST men's tennis crown after going 18-7 at the No. 1 singles spot during the spring season and 26-13 overall for the year. Named the Most Outstanding Player at this year's BIG EAST Championship, Andrews and his Irish teammates have qualified for the NCAA Championship in each of his three seasons. Andrews recently advanced to the round of 32 at the NCAA Singles Championship, his best showing in his two years competing at the event.
Andrews was the first Notre Dame men's tennis player to earn first team Capital One Academic All-America honors in program history and only the third overall, joining Andy Zurcher (3rd-1994) and Tyler Davis (2nd-2011).
Alexa Aragon – Women's Outdoor Track and Field Junior – Middle Distance – Billings, Mont./Billings Senior H.S.
Aragon has been a standout for the Irish on the track and in the classroom as the junior recently earned first team All-America honors in the 3,000m steeplechase after finishing eighth at the NCAA Outdoor Championships. Aragon booked her place at the NCAAs by taking fifth at the NCAA East Preliminary Round. At this year's BIG EAST Outdoor Championships the Billings, Mont., native earned a pair of all-BIG EAST honors after winning the 3,000m steeplechase and taking second in the 4x800m relay.
During the indoor season Aragon earned first team All-America accolades after helping the distance medley relay team take seventh at the NCAA Indoor Championships. At the BIG EAST Indoor Championships, she placed third in the distance medley relay and eighth in the 3,000m run.
In cross country, Aragon ran for the Irish at the NCAA Championships after earning all-region accolades with a 23rd place finish at the NCAA Great Lakes Regional. In the classroom, she boasts a 3.221 GPA in pre-professional studies from the College of Science while participating in community service. Last year during spring break she went to Mexico and volunteered with the Smile Network, which works to repair children's cleft lips and palates.
Kim Holden – Women's Swimming and Diving Senior – Mount Kisco, N.Y./Fox Lane H.S.
Holden proved to be a standout in the classroom and in the pool during her Irish career, recently earning a prestigious $7,500 NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship for her strong work in all aspects of being a student-athlete.
She finished up a sensational career with a pair of Honorable Mention All-America citations (200 back, 400 medley relay) in March at the NCAA Championships. For her career Holden raked in 11 BIG EAST titles (T-4th in school history) and 22 all-BIG EAST scrolls (fourth in school history). The Mount Kisco, N.Y., native appeared in two NCAA Championship meets, and overcame double shoulder surgery before her junior season to have an outstanding senior campaign.
In February Holden earned a $2,000 postgraduate scholarship from the BIG EAST after she was Notre Dame's female winner of the American Eagle Outfitters BIG EAST Scholar-Athlete Scholarship.
In the classroom, Holden finished with a 3.829 GPA entering her final semester at Notre Dame and is set to graduate with a degree in psychology and a supplementary degree in Spanish from the College of Arts & Letters. The Mount Kisco, N.Y., native appeared on the Dean's List in six out of her eight semesters at Notre Dame.
Since arriving on campus in the fall of 2009 Holden has been named the Notre Dame Club of St. Joseph County Knute Rockne Student-Athlete award winner for women's swimming and diving three times and was once named the Notre Dame Monogram Club MVP for women's swimming and diving.
Jennifer Kellner – Women's Tennis Junior – Smithtown, N.Y./Happauge H.S.
Kellner earned her second career selection to the all-BIG EAST team after posting an 18-13 (16-10 in dual matches) singles record and a 22-10 (16-9 dual) mark in doubles play as a junior in 2012-13. Kellner won six of her final nine singles contests during the season to lead Notre Dame to its sixth consecutive BIG EAST Championship title. She received BIG EAST Player of the Week accolades for the third time in her career during the week of January 22.
The Smithtown, N.Y. native will enter her senior season as the active Notre Dame leader in singles (69) and doubles (67) victories. A three-time BIG EAST Academic All-Star selection, Kellner was also tabbed as the women's tennis recipient of the 2013 Notre Dame Club of St. Joseph Valley Rockne Student-Athlete award, and is pursuing a degree in accounting from the renowned Mendoza College of Business.
Off the court, Kellner has participated in a number of community service initiatives as a member of the Irish women's tennis team. She has assisted with the Notre Dame Pediatric Christmas Party for the past three years, and has also been involved with the Fighting Irish Fight for Life, the Aidan Project, the Bald & Beautiful, the JDRF Walk and Adopt a Family.
Abby Meyers – Rowing Senior – Dayton, Ohio/Chaminade-Julienne H.S.
Meyers served as the coxswain of the Notre Dame varsity eight boat in each of the past three seasons, leading the crew to a repeat victory in the grand final of the first varsity eight at the 2013 BIG EAST Championship. The Irish launch logged a time of 6:49.656 to help Notre Dame score a race-record 151 team points and clinch the program's 10th consecutive BIG EAST Championship. The Irish eight boat went on to win the third final at the 2013 NCAA Championship, aiding Notre Dame to a 13th-place overall finish.
Meyers was named to the 2013 Collegiate Rowing Coaches Association (CRCA) Central All-Region team, and was a three-time CRCA National Scholar-Athlete (2011-13). A four-time BIG EAST Academic All-Star selection, Meyers graduated from the College of Arts and Letters with a double major in economics and mathematics.

More ways to work: Conveniently select from predefined templates with the EasyArrange feature on Dell Display Manager software. Quickly tile and arrange your applications and get back to work faster with Auto-restore, a feature that when you disconnect and reconnect remembers where you left off.
Flexibility throughout the day: With the ability to tilt, swivel, pivot and adjust the height of your monitor to fit your requirements, you can stay comfortable all day.
Easy on the eyes: Optimize eye comfort with a flicker-free screen and ComfortView, a feature that reduces up to 60% of harmful blue light emissions13.
Made customizable: Tailor your workspace to your specifications with VESA-compatible mounts and stands14. Simply snap your monitor into place using the Quick Release slots behind the monitor panel for fast and easy installation.

Re-discovering my natural creativity allowed me to look inward, enabling me to filter my world from my emotions and perceptions. This is who I am now. My art consist of mixed media and making jewelry from vintage finds. I love decorating my home, gardening, photography, journaling, traveling and working in my art studio. Most importantly is making time for my family and friends, that make my life good.

I have tried re-installing qgis (I have even tried installing the nightly build) and I have also updated all of the packages that qgis requires.
Has anyone had a similar problem or more importantly, does anyone have a solution?
Thank you!
