Consider more than price when choosing a remodeling contractor
If low cost was the only consideration shoppers valued when choosing an automobile, everyone would be driving around in tiny econo-box cars and outdated old clunkers.
And therein lies a cautionary truth for homeowners eager to remodel: Don't choose a contractor based solely on price, say the experts.
"A remodeler's bid is an essential factor, but it's certainly not the only or most important one you should evaluate carefully," said Mimi Altman, executive director for the Greater Chicagoland Chapter of the National Association of the Remodeling Industry (NARI of Greater Chicagoland/
While cost is important, other criteria should be assessed as well, said Dave Roberts, AIA, CR, UDCP, president of Roberts Construction Group, Inc., based in Evanston.
"The reputation of the remodeler in their community is one of the first things I would ask about. You need to gather information and feedback about the contractor's integrity, quality of workmanship and standing in their industry," Roberts said.
That means doing your due diligence as a consumer by researching the remodeler online, investigating their Better Business Bureau rating and inquiring about them with your area Chamber of Commerce and your state's Attorney General office.
"You should also ask the contractor for homeowner references and call to learn about their experiences,"
Dew cautions, however, not to underestimate the price equation. He said price should be discussed early in the conversation when first contacting a remodeler, as it makes sense to quickly eliminate any candidates who aren't within your budget.
"Selecting a contractor who can work within your price range and who is also reliable and ethical is crucial," said Altman. "The proposal is only a piece of paper. This contractor will be in your home for a period of time, and peace of mind is much more important than price alone. There's a lot of truth to the old saying, 'You get what you pay for.'"
Remember that if the quoted bid seems astonishingly low and too good to be true, it probably is.
"That's probably a sign that the contractor left out some important things like high-grade materials, is preparing to cut corners, or is really desperate. Perhaps he's way behind on his bills and is looking to collect a deposit from somebody fast," Roberts said.
Altman recommends getting a referral to a reputable contractor from a trusted professional organization like NARIGC, whose members have to abide by strict industry codes and regularly keep up with continuing education in their profession. Once you have the names of a few good leads, research them thoroughly. Prior to hiring a contractor, you should also request:
• Proof of adequate worker's compensation and general liability insurance coverage for himself and any workers he hires.
• Proper identification which indicates a permanent place of business and business phone number.
• Reassurance of financial stability—ask the remodeler for bank, trade and supplier references, and contact these parties to inquire about the contractor's financial solvency.
• A written contract proposal, given to you within a few weeks of your initial meeting, that spells out the scope of the project, the expected start/stop dates, exactly what labor and materials are included and not included, the names of subcontractors who will be used, any special permits required, payment arrangements, and notice of a three-day right to cancel the contract (required, per Illinois law).
• A warranty, expressed in the written contract, of the contractor's workmanship and the materials used for at least one year from the job completion date.
• A realistic price—be suspicious of any figure that appears too low or too high; also, avoid paying a large deposit (a 10% to 20% deposit up front is typical, but may be more if a significant amount of custom-made materials are involved) or paying in cash only.
Based in Des Plaines, The Greater Chicagoland Chapter of NARI (www.narichicago.org 847-298-6212)

The year 1970 saw the publication of Origin of Eukaryotic Cells by Lynn Margulis. This influential book brought the exciting and weighty problems of cellular evolution to the scientific mainstream, simultaneously breaking new ground and 're-discovering' the decades-old ideas of German and Russian biologists. In this commemorative review, I discuss the 40 years that have elapsed since this landmark publication, with a focus on the 'molecular era': how DNA sequencing and comparative genomics have proven beyond all doubt the central tenets of the endosymbiont hypothesis for the origin of mitochondria and plastids, and, at the same time, revealed a genetic and genomic complexity in modern-day eukaryotes that could not have been imagined in decades past.

China seeking fast track into ASEAN market
By Nophakhun Limsamarnphun, The Nation (Thailand)/Asia News Network Monday, January 10, 2011, 11:12 am TWN
BANGKOK -- Southeast Asia is becoming a major springboard for China to expand its economic presence over the vast Asian continent. The new US$1.5 billion wholesale trade center project in Thailand, as recently announced by a group of Chinese investors, is the latest case in point.
China plans to use Bangkok as a major re-export center for the rest of ASEAN, which has a combined population of 580 million.
On Jan. 1 last year the China-ASEAN Free Trade Area Agreement took effect, reducing most import tariffs in China and ASEAN to zero. This has set the stage for a freer flow of goods between China, now the world's second largest economy, and the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC), which will be fully effective in 2015.
In the wake of the recession and debt crisis in the U.S. and Europe, it's logical for the Chinese to look for new growth markets that can absorb its massive industrial output. Southeast Asia is one of the areas where economic growth is still robust, so the Chinese are ready to invest huge sums to further penetrate ASEAN, which is becoming an integrated single market.
Garments, jewellery, automotive parts, food products and toys are among the items that will be re-exported from Thailand to other ASEAN markets via the sprawling wholesale trade center planned for Bangkok. The China Daily reported that the center will have a total space of 700,000 square meters, the equivalent of 100 football fields.
In addition, China earlier announced an ambitious high-speed rail program involving several Southeast Asian nations. From the southern part of China (Yunnan Province), high-speed trains traveling at over 200 km per hour will soon reach Laos, Thailand, Burma, Vietnam, Cambodia, Malaysia and Singapore.
Construction of the first leg of several hundred kilometers of high-speed track is due to start this year in Laos at an estimated cost of 600 billion baht. The tracks will be connected to the same type of tracks in southern China.
The second set of high-speed tracks will be laid in Thailand from the northern province of Nong Khai to Bangkok. The Chinese are pushing Thai authorities for a fast-track approval of the joint venture project on Thai soil. The Nong Khai-Bangkok section will be connected with the Lao section at the Thai-Lao border.
From Bangkok, the next route expansion is southbound to Malaysia and eventually Singapore. And from southern Laos, additional routes are being planned for Cambodia and Vietnam to link all the major cities in Indochina for both passenger and cargo transportation.
Another section of the high-speed track will run from southern China to Burma and eventually to Burma's southern port cities.
Thus China is likely to be the chief beneficiary of economic integration in Southeast Asia, given that all the major cities in mainland ASEAN will be inter-linked with its high-speed rail network.
Thai authorities are seeking to have at least 60 percent shareholding in the high-speed railway joint venture on Thai soil in order to ensure that the country has proper control of the network's operation here.
While opportunities abound as China expands its reach into smaller neighboring countries, threats are no less daunting. Some Thai businesses, for example, are worried that the use of Bangkok as a major re-export center for Chinese goods will confuse overseas buyers of Thai products as far as quality is concerned. The influx of Chinese goods into ASEAN markets will also hurt indigenous ASEAN producers due to their lack of economies of scale enjoyed by China.

Last nights Australian Idol saw 5 out of 10 songs coming from the Queen catalogue.A "review" of sorts was published on news.com.au (i will try and make the episode available here)POP singers and rock stars are a breed apart, as was witnessed on last night's Australian Idol live show.Billed as a tribute to rock supergroups, it may well as been dubbed 'Queen Night' for the amount of Freddie Mercury-inspired tunes that filled the air.First up was Dan England who went for Queen's We Will Rock You, a largely-acoustic number until the final few seconds, which was picked up on by Idol judge Kyle Sandilands."I really think you did a crap job of it," Kyle said, despite not knowing the song.Idol judge Mark Holden sniped at Kyle for his ignorance and told Dan: "That needed to be 11 and that was nine."Next came Laura Gissara who went against the grain and chose Silverchair's The Greatest View to wow the audience. She failed. Idol judge Marcia Hines was the kindest, offering: "You could have sung that a lot harder". Even Kyle, a firm believer in Laura's abilities, deserted her. "Daniel Johns would have thrown his chair through the TV - that was lame." Mark called it the 'Doris Day' version of Silverchair.As bad as the performance was, credit must be given to Laura for having a go and crosses for the Idol machine for trying to pigeon-hole performers into styles of music that are quite clearly not suited to some of the contestants. Laura took the hits and rebounded admirably: "Rock's not my cup of tea, but I tried."Milly Edwards chose another Queen classic, Somebody To Love, to rock the house. While she handled the job well vocally, her stage presence was still called into question. "When you weren't singing, you looked like you were going to p*** yourself," Kyle said."You're still not competing," Mark warned.Lee Harding stepped up a notch, wringing the neck of The Police's classic Roxanne and pumping out an awesome punk version. Mark called it a 'kick-arse arrangement' but reiterated Lee had reached the limits of his vocal range.Advertisement:Roxane Lebrasse continued to impress the judges, this time with Queen's We Are The Champions. "You sang you butt off," Marcia said. But after the performance, Idol co-host James Mathison pulled her up on her vocal technique. "Look how much lipstick you've got on the microphone!"Anne Robertson reworked U2's Where The Streets Have No Name and Kyle gushed: "You make everyone around you look like amateurs". Mark said she needed to transcend her performance, taking time to have another dig at Kyle. Kyle responded by dousing Mark in water.Daniel Spillane took to the stage with AC/DC's TNT and failed to ignite Mark. "That was a bit ironing-board stiff," Kyle said. While Mark thought the performance "too nice, not nasty".Kate DeAraugo must surely be related to John Farnham with the way she sings, so it was unsurprising to see her manage another Queen number, I Want It All. She was doing well until Kyle told her to "cover up those tuck-shop lady arms."James Kannis was "still not in control of the vocal" but his "telegenic" performance got him through Eric Clapton's Layla. I'd be surprised if he escapes the clutches of the bottom three tonight, alongside Laura and perhaps either Milly or Roxane.The performance of the night, just edging out Lee, was Emily Williams, who managed to cram Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody into two minutes and did a magnificent job. She was told by Marcia she had shown the most progression of anyone in the competition. "You go, girlfriend," Marcia said. While Kyle was short but sweet: "Tonight, you are the best".http://entertainment.news.com.au/story/0,10221,16721942-10229,00.html

I would like to welcome our students, parents and staff to the 2016-17 school year. The first day of school is Tuesday, September 6, 2016. Each school year brings the anticipation of new opportunities for our students and teachers. A great deal of time and effort has been spent throughout the summer months with teachers working on curriculum and establishing common assessments for grade levels or subject content areas. These efforts will provide better instructional practices for our teachers and better ways to measure our students' performances in the classroom.
Peter A Grant
This coming school year starts the beginning stages of improving our schools following last November's community support of a $78 million bond referendum. The summer construction projects at McKinley, Wilson and Roosevelt parking lots have begun. Wilson's office has been remodeled to allow for better reception of parents and visitors and to improve security at its entrance. The entrance to OJHS has been remodeled to improve its reception of students and visitors, and for better security.
In early September, the School Board will approve bids for the additions at Lincoln, McKinley, OJHS and Willow Creek. Lincoln and McKinley will have gymnasiums added along with classrooms. OJHS will have a significant addition to accommodate the addition of grade six for the 2017-18 school year. OJHS will then become Owatonna Middle School. Willow Creek will have a large addition to convert it to a K-5 grade school. All of these additions should be completed for the start of the 2017-18 school year.
Near the completion of these new additions, deferred maintenance will begin in our buildings. This will consist of upgrading our heating and ventilating, plumbing, and electrical infrastructure. We anticipate that all building improvements will be completed in the spring of 2018. The District is extremely grateful for the support from our community to allow these improvements to occur.
This new school year brings about many new faces to our classrooms and buildings. We are expecting approximately forty new teachers along with several new educational assistants and para professionals and support staff. Each year it is difficult to have people retire or move on and then replace them. We feel very fortunate to have hired some great new talent for our classrooms or to provide support for our teachers. We look forward to having these new employees bring their experiences to our schools and to help us improve.
This coming school year, we anticipate an enrollment of over 4,900 students entering our schools. Parents, as you start to prepare your school-aged children for another school year, remember that the first week can be quite hectic. You will be getting your family schedules re-aligned and we will be doing everything we can to help make that first week successful. Look for bus schedules coming to your home if your child will be riding a school bus. Be sure your child knows the safest walkway to their school. Being safe at crosswalks to and from school is critical.
Please work with us to help provide the best education we can for your children. We cannot do it alone as we need your help for this to be a successful year.

Del Moomo was a male Ithorian and the brother of Dob. Del always wore a red scarf, while Dob always wore blue. Another noticeable difference between Dob and his brother was a scar across his right eye. He obtained the scar during his childhood when Dob shoved his head into a working trash compactor.[1] During the Mandalorian Wars they worked as bounty hunters (referred to as the Moomo Brothers), although their success rate was low.
At a young age the brothers were expelled from the herd for its own safety.[1]
In 3963 BBY Raana Tey hired them to watch Arvan Carrick on Telerath. The pair grew tired of watching Arvan and instead captured him. They were scolded by Raana Tey later for their incompetence. Del and Dob got into a scuffle afterwards and Del was ordered to watch Arvan while Dob went into a local bar. During this time, Del contacted Raana again. Raana ordered them to leave Telerath immediately and meet with her so they would be able to deal with Arvan.
However, Del learned that Dob was planning on leaving him out of a bounty and while he was distracted Zayne Carrick used telekinesis to throw an object to Del's head. Del believed that Dob was the one who threw it to get rid of him and take the full bounty on both Carrick's head. The two attacked each other when their bounty escaped.
The Taris ResistanceEdit
The Moomo brothers were later hired by Jervo Thalien, the head of Lhosan Industries, to grab Marn Hierogryph off the streets of Chandrila, so they could together to track down Senator Gorravus on Mandalorian-occupied Taris. Thalien also provided them with the location of Zayne Carrick at Omonoth. After meeting up with Gadon Thek's Hidden Beks, Gryph sent Dob and Slyssk to recover Zayne, while he and Del stayed behind on Taris. After Zayne had arrived and was identified as the Padawan killer with the large bounty on his head, Del tried to claim the bounty for himself, attacking Hidden Bek Brejik when he tried to claim the bounty by killing Zayne. After Gryph discovered that Brejik had the children of Taris' constable, Del accompanied his potential bounty and the rest of the Beks through Mandalorian territory to the headquarters of the Taris Resistance. Del rode in the side seat of the speeder piloted by Zayne and Gryph, enthusiastically firing his twin blasters at the Mandalorians below.
Upon arriving at the Resistance's headquarters, Del was angered to see his former employer Raana Tey with them, and even angrier when Raana attempted to use Shel Jelavan to kill Zayne. Raana was equally incensed to see the incompetent bounty hunter again and attacked him, managing to slice Del's blasters in half before yielding to the multiple blasters of the Hidden Beks trained on her and the orders of Senator Gorravus.
Later, when Gryph made contact with Jervo Thalien, Del attempted to claim the bounty on Gorravus, a bounty that seconds later Thalien revealed to have placed. Before Del could eliminate the Senator, however, Raana overheard the conversation and moved in. As she and Del brawled, Thalien revealed that his transmitter was rigged with a bomb. When it failed to detonate, however, Del was delighted to take a look at it due to his affinity for explosives and asked if he could keep it.
When the Resistance later planned to destroy Taris' Jedi Tower in hopes of killing Cassus Fett, Del prepped the remote detonator for the demolition charges. He also set the charges on the tower himself. When it was revealed that Fett had already left the tower and that the Mandalorians had attacked the Resistance headquarters, Del enthusiastically accompanied Brejik back to their base, hoping to get the chance to kill a few more Mandalorians.
When Taris Resistance was ambushed by Cassus Fett, Constable Noana Sowrs paid Del and Dob to take her children to Alderaan. After they completed the task, they returned to pick up Zayne and Gryph from Jebble.
Just as everyone everyone on board, they pledged to help Zayne clear his name and expose the Jedi Covenant. They took their ship to Odryn, where Jarael disguised herself as Celeste Morne and the Moomo Brothers - as muscle hired to carry a crate, supposedly holding the Muur Talisman, but it was actually their laundry hamper - with Zayne and Gryph inside. Once they entered the Sanctum of the Exalted, the Moomos decided to grab all the Sith artifacts they could hold, but Zayne stopped them, reminding that those things were extremely dangerous. But they didn't listen and discreetly stole a significant number of artifacts, which was a lucky break, as shortly after that Feln destroyed the Sanctum believing Zayne's friends were back to raid the Sanctum.
Del and Dob later flew the Moomo Williwaw to Coruscant, where the ship came under fire from the Republic blockade set up there. The ship was intercepted by Lance Squadron and Moomo Brothers opened defensive fire under strict order from Zayne not to shoot anybody. In order to get Zayne past the blockade, Jarael, Del, and Dob flew the ship into the hangar of the Swiftsure where they were promptly taken into custody. This provided the distraction needed to get Zayne, Gryph, and Slyssk down to the planet in another ship. After the end of Vindication, Del and Dob were officially paid by the Republic for bringing Zayne and Gryph in. Thereafter, the Moomos parted ways with Zayne's group once again.
Personality and traitsEdit
- "It's a bomb. I love bombs. I mean, really. You have no idea..."
- ―Del Moomo, to Raana Tey
Just like his brother Dob, Del was obsessed with weapons of all kinds. The brothers never used the same weapons twice, preferring to pull something new out of their collection.[1] Other than his slightly different appearance, Del was also set apart from his brother by his high enthusiasm for explosives, likely one of the few areas he could claim to have extensive knowledge. Thanks to his fondness for them, Del instantly recognized the bomb used by Thalien as an MM-40 Thermal Charge and later set the charges that would blow the Jedi Tower.
Behind the scenesEdit
John Jackson Miller pointed out an inconsistency in the scarfs of Del and Dob Moomo. In Reunion, Part 1, Dob wears a red scarf and has a scar across his eye while Del wears a blue scarf. However, in part 2, Dob wears a green scarf with no scar while Del wears a red one with a scar. Miller confirmed that the brother in the blue scarf is Dob and the one in the red scarf is Del.[2][3] He mentioned that this would remain consistent should the two appear in future issues. The color of Dob's scarf in part 2 has been corrected in the trade paperback, however, all inconsistencies in the brothers' dialogue have not. Miller stated that in the end, it was just too convoluted to work out, basically telling readers to ignore the features that identify the two in Part 1.

WRAPUP 2-US auto aid pleas mount; Treasury says no GM talks
* Governors, CEOS urge government aid to automakers
* Administration focused on speeding $25 bln of loans
* GM/Chrysler merger on hold as aid hopes fade-sources
* Suppliers worried GM-Chrysler merger would cut vehicles
* Ford seeking 'degree of parity' if government aids GM (Adds sources on deal hopes fading)
By David Bailey and David Lawder
DETROIT/WASHINGTON, Oct 30 (Reuters) - Six U.S. governors and a group of chief executives on Thursday urged the Bush administration to aid the embattled auto industry while the White House rebuffed a request for direct support of a merger between GM and Chrysler.
An administration official said the focus instead would be on speeding of $25 billion of low-interest loans for factory retooling, a step the industry's allies say does not go far enough to reverse a deepening industry crisis. [ID:nN30295721]
Three people with direct knowledge of the talks said the deal to merge General Motors Corp (GM.N: Cotización) and Chrysler LLC had hit an impasse after the administration ruled out funding it and any merger would be on hold until after the U.S. presidential election next week. Continuación...

Londoners want Scottish MPs to be banned from voting on issues affecting only England, Wales and Northern Ireland, a poll reveals today.
The YouGov survey found that by more than two to one — 58 per cent to 26 per cent — they believe that MPs representing constituencies north of the border should not have a say in the Commons on matters which have no impact on Scotland, given the moves to devolve more power to the Edinburgh parliament.
The findings come only weeks before Burns Night on January 25, by which time the Government is due to put in place legislative proposals for significant Scottish devolution, including on tax.
It will reinforce the view of many Conservative backbenchers that a system of "English votes for English laws" should be introduced at Westminster.
Tanya Abraham, of YouGov, said the poll showed that when the West Lothian Question — why Scottish MPs can vote on English matters but not vice versa on devolved issues —"comes to the West End, the results are clear".
"Londoners don't think that Scottish MPs should be allowed to vote on issues that don't affect Scotland," she said. "Only among Labour supporters did we find support for the status quo where Scottish MPs are able to vote on issues that only affect England and Wales. This is not surprising given the number of MPs Labour currently has north of the border."
At least four out of five Tory and Ukip supporters in London do not think that Scottish MPs should be allowed to vote on issues that don't affect Scotland.
This contrasts with around two out of five Labour backers who share this belief, and 60 per cent of people planing to vote for the Liberal Democrats at next May's general election.
Such a landmark restriction on Scottish MPs is likely to most negatively affect Labour, which won 41 seats at the 2010 election, although recent polls suggest that many of those could be lost to the Scottish Nationalists next year.
David Cameron, Ed Miliband and Nick Clegg signed a pledge to devolve extensive new powers to Scotland as the referendum on independence in September appeared to be on a knife-edge. In the end, Scots voted by 55 per cent to 45 per cent to remain in the UK.
As part of the now looming constitutional changes, the Conservatives are arguing that Scottish MPs should be banned from voting on laws that only impact on England, Wales and Northern Ireland as "a fundamental issue of fairness". But former deputy prime minister Lord Prescott has accused Mr Cameron of seeking to set up a form of "English Parliament" to try to seize more power.
Limiting the voting rights of Scottish MPs could dent Labour's control over a Westminster Parliament even if it won an overall majority in the Commons if this was dependent on seats north of the border.
After the polls suggested that the SNP may make major gains at the general election, the party's former leader Alex Salmond has announced that he will stand for the Westminster parliament.
His decision comes despite attacking other political leaders as "team Westminster" during his independence campaign, which was based on a financial plan that now looks deeply flawed given the collapse in the price of oil.Reuse content

of reactive nitrogen species with nitrotyrosine formation has been
implicated in the pathogenesis of pulmonary fibrosis. We have shown
previously that asbestos inhalation induced nitrotyrosine formation, a
marker of peroxynitrite production, in the rat lung. To determine
whether asbestos inhalation may induce mitogen-activated protein kinase
(MAPK) activation and whether such activation may be associated with
peroxynitrite production, lung lysates from crocidolite and
chrysotile asbestos-exposed rats and from sham-exposed rats were
immunoprecipitated with antinitrotyrosine antibody and captured
proteins were subjected to Western blotting with anti-phosphorylation
of extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK)-1/2 antibodies. Both
types of asbestos inhalation induced greater phosphorylation of
stress-activated protein kinase/c-Jun NH(2)-terminal kinase, ERK-1/2,
and p38 kinase than was noted after sham exposure. Phosphorylated of
ERK-1/2 activity coimmunoprecipitated with nitrotyrosine. Moreover,
immunoprecipitated phosphorylated of ERK-1/2 from both
crocidolite-exposed and chrysotile-exposed rats demonstrated
significantly greater functional MAPK activity using Elk1 substrate
than was noted after sham exposure. Lung sections from rats exposed to
crocidolite or chrysotile (but not from sham-exposed rats) demonstrated
strong immunoreactivity for nitrotyrosine, phosphorylation of ERK-1/2,
phosphorylation of stress-activated protein kinase/c-Jun NH(2)-terminal
kinase, and phosphorylation of p38 in alveolar macrophages and
bronchiolar epithelium. Normal rat lung myofibroblasts treated with 1
mM of peroxynitrite or H2O2 demonstrated
activation of Raf, MAPK/ERK kinase, and ERK. Whereas
H2O2-induced ERK activation was abrogated by
the epidermal growth factor-receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor, AG1478,
by the Raf inhibitor, forskolin, and by the MAPK/ERK kinase inhibitor,
PD98059, peroxynitrite-induced ERK activation was inhibited exclusively
by PD98059. Conceivably, peroxynitrite formation, in association with
upregulated MAPK activation, may modulate downstream signaling events
that have relevance to the induction of asbestos-related pulmonary

text: 4 February 2002 To Russia with love Radio - Louis Barfe on how the young of Moscow are still cashing in on the great songmakers Sign up for our weekly email * Last July, the BBC World Service ended short-wave transmissions to North America, Australia and New Zealand. Understandably, the move was seen as controversial. The argument was that satellite broadcasting, relays of BBC programming on local stations and the growth of radio on the internet had made such old technology as short wave redundant in developed countries - a view not entirely convincing, given that the take-up for these channels of distribution is far from universal. In other territories, however, the arguments in favour of staying on short wave are undeniable. One of these, for both economic and geographical reasons, is Russia. In recent weeks, listeners to the BBC's Russian Service have been able to enjoy a ten-part series in Russian called The Great Songmakers, looking at the work of important songwriters through recordings of their work made by other artists. The choice of subjects has been admirably eclectic, ranging from Jerome Kern in the first edition to the Bee Gees in the last of the series, taking in Irving Berlin, Duke Ellington, Cole Porter, Harold Arlen and Hoagy Carmichael along the way. Tony Cash, the writer and presenter of the series, admits that the selections have been "partly personal", while he has remained mindful of the need to be as representative as possible. "It's my belief that broadcasters have really undersold the great songwriters and their craft," he says. "I've tried to choose what I believe to be the definitive version of each song as an illustration. In the case of Irving Berlin's 'Cheek to Cheek', that will obviously be the Fred Astaire version. However, sometimes I've chosen two contrasting readings. For Kern's 'Smoke Gets in Your Eyes', I used one by Dinah Shore and one by Thelonious Monk. I've also tried to show how the lyrics work with the music, through readings of lyrical extracts from native Russian speakers. In a way, this series is like the sleeve notes on an LP." For much of his career, Cash has worked as a television producer, but this series represents a homecoming, as he began his working life with a five-year stint at the Russian Service from 1963. "The Russians were jamming transmissions until a few weeks before I joined, and then stopped. I left a few weeks before the Russian tanks rolled into Prague in 1968, when the jamming resumed," he recalls, adding with a laugh that he has "sometimes wondered if it was a coincidence or something more sinister". During his initial stay at the World Service, Cash gained quite a reputation in the eastern bloc with his own show, playing the latest pop releases. He had been a jazz purist, playing clarinet and saxophone, but soon became convinced by the new sound. "It was a remarkable time to be doing a show like that," he observes. "It coincided with some of the best music ever written." However, while British teenagers, listening under the bedclothes to Radio Luxembourg on Fab 208, risked a telling-off from their parents if they got caught, the stakes were much higher for Cash's listeners. "It was never my intention to suborn young Russians, but it seems that listeners became dissidents simply by tuning in," he explains. Many took the risk and listened intently for his opening jingle in Russian, which translates as "Tony Cash, lover of jazz and symphonies, at the microphone to delight you up to midnight Moscow time". And they continue to listen: Cash has received a considerable response from listeners to the new show who remember him from the first time around, when he brought them the decadent sounds of the Sixties.

Does the UK technology sector measure up? (An opinion piece by me published at BDaily.co.uk Business News)
It's Technology Week on Bdaily. Daniel Steeves, a Canadian Partner at James Caan's Mayfair firm HB Prime Advantage offers his opinion on how the climate could be improved for the tech businesses in the UK in comparison with other countries.
From commitments to infrastructure improvements, through to making available more visas for skilled workers, the UK Government has been backing some relatively successful efforts to attract new or added presence from some of the 'big players' to London but, in my opinion, a bit too focused an eastward view.
Regardless of the geography, supporting technology-focused or technology-enabled start-up businesses (a space currently supporting tens of thousands of jobs and billions of pounds in revenue across the UK) is a clever approach as both a short-term tactical and a longer view strategic position to work towards bolstering and growing our economy.
The problem is not only that an East London focus excludes the successful and growing technology industry we have in Cambridge and down the M4 Corridor to Oxford (the places in the UK where those billions are generated) but that, for the most part, the typical east London start-up is in the consumer-facing space rather than targeting the business to business environment (the companies in the UK who are generating those billions).
"Build it and they will come" does not apply to industry in general or the technology sector in particular, rather it is something that happens… and then grows. I grew up in the growing Silicon Valley (North) as Ottawa was sometimes called. Like its California namesake businesses started and grew in that geography partly in support of the Military and mostly because of what was under the ground… as the industry (and the local population) grew, so did the supporting ecosystem, from the service sector through to education to Government.
So, how to improve the climate for technology start-ups in general? I'd consider starting with the following three things:
- Continued encouragement and support for business start-ups, but enhanced with education and awareness on what constitutes a sustainable business.
- A little (or a lot) less hands-on involvement with the business of the sector, replaced with a greater focus on removing roadblocks related, for example, to taxes and visas
- Just let it happen… from an external point of view the Government should support start-ups as though they were plates spinning on a stick: don't touch the stick until you are certain that the plate is going to fall (and be ready and aware to be sure of which ones to be sure of catching!)

UPDATE 1-Ebola drug trials to be fast-tracked in West Africa
(Adds details, quotes, background)
By Kate Kelland
LONDON, Sept 23 (Reuters) - Experimental Ebola drugs including compounds from Mapp Biopharmaceutical, Sarepta and Tekmira will be tested in affected West African states for the first time in a bid to fast-track trials, the Wellcome Trust said on Tuesday.
Announcing a 3.2 million pound ($5.25 million) grant for the work, the global health charity said the money would "enable multiple partners around the world to quickly establish clinical trials at existing Ebola treatment centres".
An Ebola epidemic in West Africa has killed more than 2,800 people since it began in Guinea earlier this year, and the World Health Organisation (WHO) has said up to 20,000 people could be affected before it is brought under control.
The outbreak of the virus, one of the most virulent infectious diseases known in humans, has been declared a threat to international peace and security by the UN Security Council and prompted demands for an urgent response.
In August a WHO expert panel unanimously concluded that in such exceptional circumstances it would be ethical to deploy and test unregistered experimental treatments on people with Ebola.
"It is a huge challenge to carry out clinical trials under such difficult conditions, but ultimately this is the only way we will ever find out whether any new Ebola treatments actually work," said Jeremy Farrar, the Wellcome Trust's director.
"What's more, rapid trials, followed by large-scale manufacturing and distribution of any effective treatments, might produce medicines that could be used in this epidemic." Continued...

Like many of its previous trips to The Swamp, Kentucky (0-2, 0-1 SEC) was overmatched in every regard, allowing 564 total yards. The Gators punted only once in the game, late in the fourth quarter when the outcome had long been decided.
Meanwhile, the Florida defense held the Wildcats to just 149 yards, including a woeful passing performance that saw Drew Barker and Stephen Johnson complete only three of 14 passes for 55 yards and three interceptions. Barker was picked off three times, while Johnson fumbled on only the second play of his UK career.
"We weren't up to the challenge in any area of the game today," UK head coach Mark Stoops said.
Only a late touchdown run by Jojo Kemp with 4:27 remaining in the game saved the Cats from being shut out.
Florida got 320 yards and four touchdown passes from sophomore quarterback Luke Del Rio, who connected with wide receiver Antonio Callaway five times for 129 yards and a touchdown. Lamical Perine gained 105 yards on 17 carries to lead the Gators' ground attack.
Six different players scored a touchdown for Florida (2-0, 1-0 SEC), while kicker Eddy Pineiro booted a 54-yard field goal.
In this AW Rapid Recap feature, we touch on some quick-hitters from the Cats' loss...
Unlike last week's tale of two halves, this one was a disaster almost from the opening kickoff. Kentucky appeared to force a fumble against Del Rio on the opening series and J.D. Harmon returned it almost 60 yards for an apparent touchdown, but the play was overturned on an instant replay review. It was a harbinger for a day which saw almost nothing go the Cats' way. The Cats turned it over four times, were sacked five times, missed a 34-yard field goal and were sitting on 10 yards passing deep into the fourth quarter before a 45-yard strike from Johnson to Jeff Badet. The defense had no answers for a modest Gator offense that managed just 24 points last week against UMass. It was a completely non-competitive showing for the Cats, who had made great strides to give Florida highly competitive games in each of the past two seasons.
6.8 - Yards per Florida play. The Cats managed only 3.1.
11 - Times during the 30-game losing streak that the Cats have lost by 30 or more points to the Gators.
70% - Florida's third-down conversion rate (14 of 20). The Gators converted nine of their first 12 on the day.
79 - Unanswered points by unranked opponents going back to second quarter versus Southern Miss.
1084 - Total yards surrendered by the UK defense in the first two weeks of the season.
1997 - The last time the Cats lost their second game of the season.
"We've got to refocus and look at everything we're doing... You've got to look in the mirror, and it starts with me." - UK head coach Mark Stoops
Kentucky steps out of conference to face New Mexico State on Saturday, Sept. 17, at Commonwealth Stadium. Kickoff is slated for 4 p.m. The Aggies (0-1) were playing in-state rival New Mexico later tonight.

There is some white foamy frothy stuff at and around my oil cap under hood? What causes this? Is it a head gasket issue? Thanks, here's a few pics! There's none of it when I check on the dip stick only at top
Have you been driving short trips ?
Is the weather there wet and high humidity ?
If so take it out and drive it for a 15-20 miles, then check it again....
You could also check the PCV valve, make sure it's clean...
Looks like moisture from short drives, and never heating up enough to burn off the condensation.... "BH"
Yea I work 3 or so miles from home so def only do short drives, and I live in Breckenridge co, very dry and cold..... Opposite of humidity! Ha... Changed the oil last week and it was there, checked again today and it's back! Hmmmmmm
Check your dipstick too...if its got the milkshake look on it as well, then you've got a problem. Have you noticed a drop in your antifreeze?
Dipstick oil is perfect! Don't notice any antifreeze in oil but is the white foam a sign of antifreeze getting in to the oil? Confused, engine performance is good, no odd smells, just hope this isn't the sign of a bigger problem..... But as always, it probably is! Ha
what did your oil look like when you drained it?
Not bad, nothing that caught me eye.
have you had it long?? reason being maybe the PO used some kinda additive.
Yea about 3 years and I've been pretty on top of all maintenance! It made 2 trips across the country! Since I've owned it, Changed oil in early dec and it was fine,,,,,,,
Pcv valve might be clogged or u v have a leak in ur vacuum lines u gettin water in there some how
No strange smoke or anything? have you done any other maitenance?
I'd say change the PCV valve and wait see if it helps. if you have not done it then it's due anyway. cheap part
OP....if you're really concerned, contact these guys: Blackstone Labs
and have them ship you a container for a Used Oil Analysis. IIRC it's like $22 for a very thorough UOA and you'll know for sure if there's any coolant in that oil...or any other unwanted things for that matter. Just be sure to run your engine for a good while (20 mile drive or so) to heat it up and burn off any excess fuel in the oil before you obtain an aliquot.
No smoke, no smell. The past few oil changes I did use the high mileage oil, but that's it... I did have a few bolts shake loose from tranny mount which caused a few u joints to fail but don't think that could lead to the latest concern.... Right?
my liberty did this. its just the moisture from the short trips and not letting the engine warm up enough. As long as you maintain regular oil changes I wouldn't worry it, it's definitely a head gasket, you'd know it then :)
So should I switch back to the regular oil? Look deeper into the issue? Or wait it out with the high mileage stuff? I heard a lot of good things about the high mileage stuff and find it hard to find negatives about it! But..... Don't want the engine to explode either!!! What u guys think?
Good (not head g) only reason i thought that was cause I googled white foam oil and that came up more thn a few times! I def haven't driven it more thn 4 miles at a time all winter, (and mountains of colo are very dry) , as it warms I'll drive it further, just dont wanna be on trail with an exploded engine in the middle of summer
Would it redevelop a week after an oil change though?
check in with the Colorado Section of the forum when you want to get out. We go alot :thumb:
No reason to ever go alone unless that's your thing. I try to go with at least one other guy Just n case.
Ha sounds good! Usually don't go out alone, but buddies def don't have the gear to pull me out and 2000$ tow fee would make me very sad! So u think I should just check it once in a while? Not leakin, not smokin, not smelling, just white foam at oil cap!
JUST DRIVE IT ! Your engine has Condensation inside from Normal sitting . You engine HAS to run long enough to get hot and stay hot enough to cook off this condensation. 3 miles to work and a low speed is'nt going to do that.... It's time for a an extended road trip to warm things up and cook off the moisture.
Your oil is fine...Just needs to warm up. Might want to do this once a week til the weather changes and the temps come up..... DEW POINT (????? ) Over my head....
Good luck and quit worrying......"BH"
Best news I've heard in a while! Thanks guys! Just wanna head off the problems before they become "problems" ya know , I'll wait it out
It's probably a real small leak and condensation is collecting at the very top where the cap is. There is a chemical test at radiator cap to tell if combustion gas is mixing
Sounds more like condensation from short drives. As long as the oil stays clean and the antifreeze level doesn't drop, and doesn't show oil in it, you'll probably be OK. Just keep on top of it... check both weekly (should do that anyhow).
On dropping antifreeze level... I had that happen on my 2000 4.0 -- the radiator level kept getting low (never a lot, maybe a pint's worth) while the overflow tank kept filling up. Problem was a leaky radiator cap. When the thing heated and pressured up, it forced coolant into the tank, but when it cooled off, the air was easier to suck than the antifreeze. Cost me some anxious head-scratching, but ultimately a $6 radiator cap cured it.
I had this same problem years ago in my 80 CJ7. It had the 258 which was the daddy of the 4.0. I never did find out what caused it. I was checking this thread hoping to find out.
Couldn't you see the antifreeze comming out at the cap? And the level of antifreeze is a bit low, and the white, and in your 80 cj did you ever fix it, did it just go away, o what? One of these days I'll change out the antifreeze and inspect it for oil,
The short drives in the cold would make since since that's pretty much all I've been doin in it for the past 3 months
I never lost anti freeze and never found out what the problem was.

Drouin...1st overall pick?

I think Drouin can go first overall. People should remember that Giroux was a winger back in junior and was eventually converted to center. Drouin can be converted to center because he has such great vision that the transition probably will not be too difficult for him. He probably also has the best hockey IQ in the draft as well. That being said, for Drouin to go first overall, MacKinnon's game has to regress in the second half of the season, otherwise no GM will be willing to take the risk. If MacKinnon's game regresses and Drouin's doesn't, that will make teams realize that Drouin is the better player (since they both play on the same team so it will be easier to compare the two).

CANADA STOCKS-TSX surges on oil, gold and economic optimism
* TSX up 1.3 percent at 10,798.92
* Golds shine, lift top-gaining materials sector
* Surprise growth in France, Germany lifts sentiment
TORONTO, Aug 13 (Reuters) - Toronto's main stock index charged higher on Thursday morning, buoyed by firm oil and gold prices and a rosier outlook for the world's economic health.
The index's hefty materials and energy sectors led the way, rising on higher prices for key commodities. Gold was above $960 an ounce for the first time since Aug. 7, while oil hovered above $70 a barrel.
Gold miners, part of the materials group, were influential advancers, with Barrick Gold (ABX.TO: Quote) up 2.4 percent at C$37.33, while Goldcorp (G.TO: Quote) rose 1.98 percent to C$39.23.
Kinross Gold (K.TO: Quote), which reported a lower quarterly profit but higher production [ID:nN12319795] on Wednesday, was up 1.14 percent at C$21.34.
"Gold is higher today and we're seeing that bolster the top-gaining sector," said Steve Ibel, institutional equities trader at Beacon Securities, in Halifax, Nova Scotia.
Overall the materials group was up 2.54 percent, while energy gained 1.65 percent. Continued...

First of all I would like to say thanks for the help who directed me in my research for the 2nd season rifle elk hunt. Special thanks to Exbiologist for the tips. I would have to say first thing Colorado has no shortage of out of state hunters. I seen more out of state hunters than residence hunters. I did not know what to really think when I got to my hunting area to figure out what to do as fare where to hunt to where to go to find the elk. Finding the elk was easy part the hard part was getting away from the crowds of hunters. I was able to arrive in the hunting area 4 days early to scout for the elk and boy it paid off I was able to harvest a nice 6x5 bull. I will post pictures later but I tell you I earned every cut a bruise for this elk he was not easy to get out and back to the camp.
