Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass (DUMBO)
Improvement District: Brooklyn Bridge Pedestrian Walkway
Lighting for pedestrian walkway
Approximately 50 THE EDGE™ canopy luminaires
For quite some time, the pedestrian entrance to the Brooklyn end of the Brooklyn Bridge was very unwelcoming with its low lighting and lack of directional signage. Pedestrians who did use the walkway quickly made their way through without taking notice of beautiful architectural features or quaint shops Brooklyn has to offer.
In May 2008, as a part of the Bridge's 125th birthday celebration, a completely redesigned pedestrian walkway called "This Way" was unveiled. Permanently installed light art designed by Tillet Lighting Design, enhances notable architecture and reinforces the borough's identity while increasing safety, efficiency and functionality for visitors.
Tillet Lighting Design selected BetaLED THE EDGE fixtures for the project. The project included 50 BetaLED THE EDGE canopy luminaires throughout the walkway providing brighter, more uniform light to the area and a significant improvement in safety and visibility for pedestrians. Blue acrylic lenses were fitted to several of THE EDGE canopy fixtures for greater visibility so light can be seen throughout the borough and used as a directional guide for visitors.
"With these beautiful new signs and lights, visitors will have an easier time locating the Bridge's pedestrian walkway and breathtaking views, as well as the wonders of DUMBO, the epicenter of 'hip' in Brooklyn," said Brooklyn Borough President Marty Markowitz. Energy-efficient THE EDGE canopy fixtures provide 31 to 58 percent savings in energy consumption compared to traditional HPS sources. In addition, with 10 times the life of other lamps, maintenance and relamping costs are significantly reduced. What's old is new again...the latest in LED lighting technology gives new life to a historic landmark. Happy birthday Brooklyn Bridge!
ARRA-funded LED retrofit reduces energy, improves lighting performance.

Saints Sweep Away Northern Kentucky in Home Opener
Contact: Steve Cunha, email@example.com
DAHLONEGA, GA - The North Georgia baseball team ran their winning streak to six games on Saturday as they swept a doubleheader from Northern Kentucky at Bob Stein Stadium.
The series served as the home opener for the Saints (7-2), while the Norse (0-2) start the season with two straight losses for the first time since 2009.
The Saints received strong pitching in both victories taking the opener 10-3 and game two 3-2.
- Game 1 -
For the first time in two weeks North Georgia ace Blake Hobby (2-0) toed the rubber and he did not disappoint, holding the Norse hitless through the first 3.1 innings. Vanderglas slapped a one out single to right field and the hit proved to be the only one Hobby would surrender on the afternoon.
In total, Hobby worked 6.2 inning, allowing only one hit while striking out seven to earn his second win of the young season.
The Saints wasted no time giving Hobby run support as they jumped on Northern Kentucky starter Tim Clark for two runs in the first inning. Derek Hooper and Terrell Jones had back-to-back one-out singles through the left side to set the table for North Georgia.
After retiring Kenny Bellavance, Clark would get no help from his defense as an error extended the inning and Dustin Carpenter made the Norse pay as he smacked a single to left field, scoring Hooper and Jones.
Over the next three innings Hobby was in cruise control, facing only one batter over the minimum.
In the fourth, North Georgia would give Hobby some breathing room courtesy of an Eason Spivey three-run blast to left field. The homer was Spivey's was the first of his collegiate career as the freshman has made quite an impression over his first nine games for North Georgia, smacking a pair doubles and recording a team-leading leading 10 runs batted in.
The Saints got an insurance run in each of the fifth and six innings thanks to a Matthew Black RBI single and a throwing error by Northern Kentucky catcher Patrick Hyde.
North Georgia would later put the game out of reach in the bottom of the eighth inning when Hooper lined an RBI single up the middle and Jones followed with a double, scoring Hooper and leadoff hitter Jordan Erisman.
- Game 2 -
Saints starter Jesse Coxwell delivered arguably his best start of the season to improve to 2-0, tossing 6.2 innings, allowing two runs and striking out five, while scattering six hits. Taylor Keinat and Erisman pitched well in relief for North Georgia, combining to give up only two hits and striking out two batters to close out the victory. Erisman also picked up his first save of the season.
The Northern Kentucky bats woke up first inning with two outs as they smacked three straight singles to take an early 1-0 lead.
In the bottom half of the frame, The Saints promptly responded with a pair of runs to take the wind out of Northern Kentucky's sails when Bellavance knocked a run scoring double to right field and Black followed with an RBI groundout.
Both offenses were quite over the next few innings until Spivey hit a sac fly to center scoring Carpenter with what would prove to be the game-winning run.
Northern Kentucky would cut the two-run deficit in half in the top of the seventh when Bradley Vanderglas delivered a two-out sun scoring single up the middle. With runners on first and second Keinat would come in and strikeout Cody Cooper to end the threat.
- Quick Notes -
Erisman has reached based safely in all nine of the Saints games this year. Hobby has thrown at least six innings in his last nine starts dating back to March 18, of last year. Hooper stole four bases on the day. Game two was the Saints first game without an error all season. The Saints won their home opener for the fourth straight year.
The Saints wrap up the weekend series with Northern Kentucky tomorrow afternoon at Bob Stein Stadium. First pitch is scheduled for 1:00 pm weather permitting. Check Saintssports.com for possible time changes or cancellations of tomorrow's game.

My son has very dry skin (eczema) and I work for a dermatologist so I get o see what really works for kids. My sons eczema is under control now but what worked for him was using a cortisone cream for a few days, until it caled down, and moisturizing. Now we just make sure to use a gentle cleanser, like Dove, and give him luke warm baths, not hot. Immediatly after he's out of the bath we use Cerave Cream to moisturize. Its important not to wait longer than 10 minutes after they're out of the bath. Using a humidifier in his room at night has also made a huge difference. I even stopped using it for a week and he started itching a little.
Tips for dealing with a child's dry skin
When your little one has dry skin, whether on the scalp or all over, shampoos and soaps can irritate, and many of the adult products on the market are too harsh or full of harmful chemicals. How have you dealt with a child's dry skin?
My kids have a common form of dry skin called keretosis pylaris(kp). It is really common and looks like a rash. Our dermatologist said do not use oil, use a cream like cetaphil. It has worked really well for my 4 yr old, but seems to be taking longer for my 2 yr old. Good luck.
My son has ickthyosis yes like the fish issue but its a type of eczema and we were told to use Amalcatin - you can get it at Costco. It worked so much better than cetaphil . I used to make my own lotion with pure coco butter, Intensive moisture repair from avon, cetaphil and Eucerin Sever Dry skin - place in a blender until smooth for during the winter. Also NO HOT BATHS or long ones. Only every other day if possible but as a teen that doesnt work so we limit it to no more than 10 min tops.
Melaleuca lotion is by far the best. My daughter would break out in these uncomfortable and itchy rashes when she was younger. We tried everything: Aveeno, Vaseline brand, Eucerine, Burts Bees, etc. and no matter what, she would cry during bath time and after because she said it would sting so badly. One week, I was at Target every single night buying a new product for her to try just hoping we would find something that worked. We finally gave in and try a topical steroid cream at her doctors request and that did absolutely nothing. Then a friend told me about Melaleuca. That was 3 years ago and she hasn't had a breakout since. We solely use Melaleuca's lotion and body wash as well as other products like detergent and these have prevented her break outs. We will never use anything else and I tell all my friends about them. They are awesome. Feel free to inbox me with any questions...happy to share my story. :)
Hillary :)
Where do I fine it. I have a granddaughter that has the same problem.
I'm an esthetician and this applies to anyone -
1-Stop bathing daily, most kids can bath weekly, adults every 2-3 days. It dries out the skin.
2-Right after a shower or bath pat dry and massage in oil (baby oil, olive oil, cooking oil - doesn't matter.) Don't slather use a little bit to re-hydrate.
3-If skin is cracking use Lanolin, put on cotton gloves and sleep with it overnight.
4-Eat 75-90% fruit or veggies with every meal. This has a largest impact on the skin and you'll see the difference.
**watch out that you do NOT use creams with Hyaluronic Acid in the winter, on airplanes or in low moisture areas. If it cannot find moisture in the air it will wick it away from your body. Doing the opposite of what you'd like.**
Good luck.
A good body massage before bath with any oil be it mustard oil, baby oil or coconut or olive oil and then using a mild soap will help in relieving dry skin problems.
My daughters skin is like an alligator, she itches to the point of making herself bleed. I am going to test out some of these suggestions and I am hoping it helps. I use cortizone creams when she has cuts from the scratching, but any lotion with ANY scent what-so-ever causes her serious pain and she screams and crys... Even the baby lotions, aveeno lotions and the all natural ones that claim they are scent free cause her pain. :(
Flax oil, 1 tsp a day for infants, 1 tbsp a day for 3 years and up. We mixed it in oatmeal at breakfast and it worked like a charm.
A must is to use only pure safe and beneficial products...most have mineral oil in them and its toxic and clogs the skin. Causes all kinds of reactions. And or most have no benefit to the product. I use only Arbonne for so many reasons and it works so well. I have all kinds of tips for healthy skin and bodies. Let me know if you have issues w sensitive skin, acne or itchy skin. I am a wellness coach -happy to help all moms!!!! 925-808-9431
Here are the tips I do and has kept all of us with Eczema keep it under control. We put a few drops of the Arbonne baby oil (all botanical) into the bath... sit and soak for a while. Then when they come out I quickly lather them up from head to toe. It drys fast! By the time the 2 boys are done running around its dry. At night we wash face with the Arbonne baby wash and then ill put either the lotion or oil (sometimes just mix a little of both) over their face -arms and hands. Feels amazing...not only does it penetrate (which is key because that is what you want it to do. Most over the counter lotions/oils/washes have a lot of preservatives and harmful ingredients that dont allow the good ingredients to penetrate. Our eczema was gone in a week. And i do the super quick oil and lotion daily to help prevent it from flaring up and coming back. (my world changed when my 2 year old had cradle cap and the dr said "oh just put some oil on it". Thats all she said. My sons hair dresser said, UM NO!!! you dont want any oil. Never put anything with mineral oil on it. Never use certain products that are toxic. She named a bunch of healthy ingredients that are natural and pure...so i called my friend who said she was representing a health and skin care company- asked her what she had for babies. SHE said the best products ever,.. she had been using the arbonne baby line for years. Worked on all kinds of skin issues she had and her kids. So with the awesome discount deals I got the entire line for like $50 dollars...all kinds of great products and i have never used anything else. LOVE it! All kinds of movie stars use arbonne. Pure Safe and beneficial !!!!
coconut oil!
My 1 yr old son had severe eczema resulting in open weeping sores all over his body. After seeing 5 different doctors and spending too much money on creams and lotions that either burned him or didn't work, we found the cure.. VASELINE! Every doctor would tell us something different and then try to prescribe him steroids, which i didn't think was healthy for his little body. We had also tried all natural products and other things suggested like baby oil and nothing showed results. I had heard that vaseline works wonders and boy am i glad i finally tried it. It helped him clear all those sores. We now use a thin coat of vaseline in the morning and at night before he goes to bed, just to keep his body moistorized and prevent any sores since he still gets dry skin. The vaseline as well as staying away from dairy products (we noticed dairy makes him break out in a rash) and having a bath every other day, sometimes every 3 days, has kept him from getting a sore in over 5 MONTHS! The vaseline does tend to ruin his clothes, especially his pajamas since we put a little more on at night, but ruined clothes are nothing to hearing my baby laugh and play again and not be in constant pain.
My 8 years baby bt his skin is very dry andon the face is white spots pls tell me homeo treatment
Please help.......I have a 4 year old boy, I am very concerned about his skin. This has been going on for about a week and a half and is getting worse. He started out with like a bumpy rash on the back of his arms so I was thinking dry skin. I was using Johnson's baby lotion every evening after his bath. Now it is on his face but has a darker red coarse appearance he screams out in pain when i apply lotion to his face or his arms, now its on his buttocks and also has the dark red appearance. I have tried desitin on his bottom, baby lotion, sss bath oil from avon, neosporin. I dont know what else to do to help his skin it is so painful for him. This morning I noticed his belly area and chest is starting with like a light speckled rash and when I put lotion on it ,he screamed that it hurts..ANY IDEAS PLEASE.........
When your child (or anyone for that matter) has a skin condition - the skin has to repair itself. The skin has to be given the opportunity to repair itself. How does this happen? It happens when you present the perfect environment for the skin.... Locking in the skin's own natural moisture while allowing it to breath with a permeable mask (almost like a breathable bandage) I have seen every single skin condition mentioned in this post healed completely with this one product. It's called Skincerity. Buy it from me... or form someone else...IT WILL WORK AND IT WILL CLEAR UP YOUR SKIN. 30 day money back guarentee...You have nothing to lose only clear beautiful skin to gain. Message me for more details.
My daughter (now 5+ years old) used to have dry skin since she was a toddler and she kept scratching every now and then until her skin bled due to constant scratching. I've tried using shower creme and moisturising cream of so many brands that are for eczema. She scratched lesser but the marks are still there and she still scratched a lot at certain time. Last year, I get to know about Eumora Skinhealth Bar that can help Eczema and many more skin problems. As a mother, I dont mind trying another product in a hope of lessening the pain and discomfort that my daughter had been experiencing. I used Eumora for her bath, twice a day. I was soooo glad that her scratching had lessen even after the first use. I continued using just Eumora for her bath, from head to toe until now. She is now a happy girl with no more scratching and her skin condition has improved tremendously. ~ Latiffa Muhamad
Have your water tested. I live in Florida and my son and I both have the red bumps from dry skin and even my hair was very dry. I went to MI for three weeks for a visit and noticed my hair got softer and the bumps went away for both of us. Came back home and they are coming back and my hair is drying out again. We are going to get a water softener and have our water tested.
I have a product that has worked well for my kids, and myself's, dry skin. It's Rodan+Fields Soothe line. Soothe Sensitive Skin Treatment calms redness and interrupts inflammation. Soothe Moisture Replenishing Cream replenishes skin's natural moisturizing factors. Check it out here: https://annariza.myrandf.com/Shop/Soothe
We started using neosporin eczema lotion on our daughter because nothing else was working. I not only only has it taken care of her dry skin but it has helped with her eczema spots as well. I with in three days she skin was completely clear and soft. I used this on her scalp as well
I have always used olive oil for my children from head to toes but with toes and hands also use extra protection like petroleum because they are washed so frequently. My child or I have not never had a break-out in the last 17 years:)!
Coconut oil works wonders for my little ones excema as well as diaper rash. It is also great for sunburns, heals very quickly.
My son has severe eczema and he has had it for 6 years and is now on severe medication to control it. However from day one i had a fabulous nurse who told me basics to help with any dry skin condition mild or severe. 1: never use purfumed products on the skin especially baby lotions bubble bath soap and shamoo eg johnsons. They dry out t. Go for non perfumed versions for sensitive skin. 2: moisturise the skin at least once a day to replace valuable fluids. 3: use mild detergents in the washing machine and no softners as this can irratate the skin. There are many other things you can do but these are the basics and help a great deal.
I use a balm that I make myself out of coconut oil, beeswax, and Calendula-infused Sunflower oil with an appropriate amount of Lavender essential oil. Beeswax helps soften skin; coconut oil softens & lubricates skin while reducing dryness, and Sunflower oil helps skin retain moisture. Calendula officianalis is known to promote skin health. It's a great balm for all skin issues! www.sweetandwoodsy.com.
Use olive oil for cradle cap and eczema. Gently rub olive oil on a baby's scalp and wash it out with a gentle shampoo. It works like a charm!
Olive oil can also be rubbed directly on the skin for eczema and dry skin.
As children age, use olive oil in the foods they eat. Olive oil is great for dogs too!

Try ARBONNE baby skin care line. Its not harsh on the skin and is made from all natural ingredients. If you want to know more just email me at firstname.lastname@example.com . Arbonne should be a part of everyones life. It is amazing sin care line that has been around for over 30 years. Wendy an Independent Consultant.
By my experience after trying many prescription creams, remedies & lotions for my daughter's eczema and rough skin areas the best product over the counter was AQUAPHOR Healing Ointment and CUREL for daily moisturizer, use it on damp skin after bath, or wet hands to apply them, a little of both lotions works great, or alternate. I also used Claritin or Zyrtek to control allergies. Eczema is an allergy that reacts ion the skin.
A good diet makes a big different, green apples, veggies and lots of water…. No sugary drinks,etc.
Good Luck....
my daughter has a two year old that suffers from exema in all her joint folds and under her nose we searched through and tried many products only one that helped sooth and clear it was hopes relief cream you can get shampoos and other products also it is readily available fromyour chemist or health food shops if they dont have it ask them to order it in for you hope that helps . sue
For my six year old we use coco butter favoured vaseline-which is great! and we add glycerine to her bath water when it is more severe. and if you are in the southern african region rooibos tea in the bath water is also very good
We love the Aveeno bath in our house, sometimes we couple it with baking soda as well. The best product I have used on my daughter is Eucerin's Calming Cream. It is hands down the best lotion to use. My daughter has exzema and gets very red and rashy during the winter. This got rid of it completely. Also Aquaphor is a great product, especially on lips and cheeks.
Totally love the Melaleuca products as well. My son also had problem skin. He puts the lotion on after he showers and he no longer has flare ups. When it was bleeding and bad we put the triple anti-biotic on and then used the lotion as it healed. He also used the body wash, spa and bath oil, along with the hand wash. I did have a customer that used our provex plus product (grape seed extract). She said her daughters skin condition was fixed under the eyes with the capsule and the rest of her skin with the renew lotion. Like Shelly said I think taking a look at your laundry is key.
Hi, my name is Jenny I've had exama all my life I'm 53 now I have damage skin from the steroids and yes you should try not to have to use them but there are times were there is a bad breakout were the skin is very red and ichie and cracking that you really do need to use the steroids course it's the only thing that's going to clam it down .oatment are the only thing you should us on the skin lotions are a big no no they make it all worse I use aquaphor ointment after shower or bath pat dry leave skin damp put on body all over also when I get ichie I use vaporub by Vicks it will claim the iche and help you sleep
For the reply on bathing once a week..... That
Does not sound healthy to me.... I bathe my six
Month old every second day and the day she
Isn't having a bath, I wipe her down. My three year
Old has a bath everyday to every second day...there
Skin is fine. I am an Esthetician as well and I
Was never taught that nore do I think that having a bath
Every second day will dry out your skin.
I use A&D Ointment.On my skin I use it on my hands and feet at night and wear socks on feet and cotton golves on hands and wake up in the morning to soft healed skin.On my grandson I just put a small amount.A&D vitiamines are skin replenishing vitamines and very good for the skin.
In South Africa we have a WONDERFUL product called Epizone A and Epizone E!!! Use one for shower (dont bath) and one for afterwards, and omega 3 oil in the diet, and eczema really disappears. Good Luck!!!
NewGenerations baby wash & lotion - by Neways Australia. - I order it online. VickiC.myneways.com.au
Melaleuca's Renew lotion series is one of the best for dry skin. They use no harsh chemicals in any of their products and I have seen children who have bad eczema become pretty much eczema free. Changing more than just your lotion is very important. Laundry soaps, bath soaps, hand soaps, etc., make a big difference. Besides that, they area green, safe company too!
Avon carries a wonderful fragrance free lotion that has gotten favorable reviews. When you get a moment check it out at this link http://shop.avon.com/shop/product.aspx?pf_id=43841
My son has itchyosis eczema and we use Amalactin lotion it also works really well on eczema that is just on the surface of the skin. I used it with my Great Aunt and for the first time she stated wow my skin finally feels nice.
After trying so many creams, aveeno, cetaphine, vaseline, olive oil..etc I am finally going to try Melaleuca Renew Lotion. I am in Australia, Sydney so if you wish to know where to get it you can contact me on firstname.lastname@example.com
If you or your kids suffer from dry skin, eczema, etc. You must try Celadon Road products! All products are natural, ecofriendly, certified organic. soaps, shampoo, body butter, baby lotion and baby wash, laundry detergent are the best. My consultant is Taylor
Her website: http://www.myceladonroad.com/TaylorPreda/
I found an amazing oil called Emu Oil. It soaks in really nicely without feeling greasy and gives fantastic hydration. Do some research about it and see its amazing properties. It has an abundance of uses from dry skin,excema,chapped lips,wrinkles,stretch marks,moisturiser. A little bit goes a long way and it can be kept in the fridge to harden so you can scoop a little out with a cotton bud to use. I found this oil a god send so shop around as I only paid around £5.00 on ebay for a small bottle that lasted about a year. Jacqui
as for emu oil,it is very expensive so we added a little to Avon Skin So Soft cream and it worked wonders for my mother in laws skin when she was alive.She was in her 60s and her skin was very thin so we had to be careful what she used.This worked wonders.
My daughter also has keretosis pylaris (kp) from head to toe. After bathing for two years with Cetaphil recommended by my pediatrician, I recently switched to Head & Shoulders shampoo. I know it sounds wacky but it was recommended by a friend so I tried it and its working. My daughters bumps/rash are starting to disappear. I am amazed. There is an active ingredient in the H & S. Afterwards, we still slather her with Aveno cream or Eucerine cream.

Dear Carolyn: Last spring we attended the wedding of my husband's best friend. When we visited the couple the year before, they threw out a couple of dates they were considering. When the fiancee mentioned one date, my husband, the groom-to-be and I all said, "Oh, that's Jason's 40th." My husband and I don't know the bride very well.
So, months later I was surprised to receive a wedding invitation for . . . the birthday date. I feel they should've tried to secure a different date, knowing the groom's best friend of 25 years was turning 40 that day. My husband has a congenital illness, so the fact that he even reached 40 was a huge deal.

Yeah it didn't reach Europe either this week. Was 'forced' to get the torrent file, but I will get the physical copy next week and the hardcover later this year, which justifies the theft imo
It was another great read and a very good arc overall, especially after the last arc, which I didn't like a lot. I also expected Travis' story to be a bit more than what it turned out to be at this stage, but I love all the speculation here. There is still a world of possibilities for Travis' backstory to explore.
Can't wait for the next arc and the mini!

Is Chris Christie a Good Choice for RNC Keynote Speaker?
New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie has been selected to deliver the keynote address at the GOP convention.
New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie will deliver the keynote speech at the 2012 Republican National Convention in Tampa at the end of August. Christie said he will make an "emphatic" argument for addressing the United States's most pressing problems.
The loud and sometimes brash politician will deliver a 20-minute speech, which he said he is writing himself, focusing on why presumptive nominee Mitt Romney should be elected, rather than why President Barack Obama should not be re-elected. Christie said he will show that Americans are willing to make sacrifices to fix the problems facing the nation:
"I'll try to tell some very direct and hard truths to people in the country about the trouble that we're in and the fact that fixing those problems is not going to be easy for any of them," Christie said.
[See a collection of political cartoons on the 2012 campaign.]
Christie, who briefly considered running for the Republican nomination himself, said the time was not right for him to run in 2012. Although he said he hopes to return to the GOP convention in 2016 to renominate President Mitt Romney, his convention speech may be an indicator of the possibility of being a presidential nominee himself in the future.
President Barack Obama spoke at the 2004 Democratic Convention before being nominated as the party's presidential candidate in 2008.
[Check out our editorial cartoons on President Obama.]
Christie is popular nationally, and was also considered to be a potential pick for Romney's vice president. Republicans point to his record as governor as proof that Republican fiscal policies are effective:
"As governor of New Jersey, Chris Christie has proven how bold Republican leadership gets results," Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus said in a release. "He has fearlessly tackled his state's most difficult challenges, while looking out for hardworking taxpayers. Gov. Christie will make the case for America's Comeback Team and will rally our party and country in support of the Romney-Ryan ticket."
The selection of Christie as the keynote is the second bold choice made by the Romney campaign in recent days, following the selection of Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan as the vice presidential nominee.

In 2011, more than 21,000 passenger vehicle occupants across the nation were killed in traffic crashes. Of those fatalities, 52 percent were NOT wearing seat belts at the time of their fatal crashes. Approximately 9,900 people were killed in drunk driving crashes, with more than 3,300 killed in fatal crashes involving a distracted driver, and nearly 10,000 lives were lost in speeding-related crashes.
So far this year 2013 Interstate 80 crash data in Nevada revealed more than 70 crashes (or an average of 5 crashes each day). Statistically, a serious injury or fatal crash occurs every four days on Interstate 80 in Nevada, and 3% of all crashes were speed related.
The Nevada Highway Patrol will be working with media outreach to create public awareness to remind the motoring public that there will be an increase of law enforcement presence throughout the 410 miles of Interstate 80 for each of the eight days during this challenge.

Who's next for the Dow?
Arzu Cevik, director at Thomson Reuters Strategic Research, writes:
"With Citi shares trading below $1, the first time since 1970 that a "penny stock" traded on the Dow Jones Industrial Average, it is widely expected that it will be removed from the index.
"The company was added to the Dow in 1997 when it was still known as Travelers, and the last company to be removed from the Dow was AIG last September (when its stock hovered above $1) and was replaced by Kraft Foods.
"It's also expected that General Motors may be removed from the Dow. GM shares are trading slightly above $1 and there's speculation it may be headed toward bankruptcy.
"There are other stocks in the Dow that are now a part of Wall Street's Dollar Menu. In fact, there are currently five Dow stocks trading in the single digit range.

Cancer Institute
Lung Cancer Screening
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death among both men and women. According to the American Cancer Society, lung cancer claims an estimated 160,000 American lives each year. Most of the diagnosed cases of lung cancer are found in advanced stages, which are less likely to be treated successfully. A randomized clinical trial conducted by the American College of Radiology Imaging Network and the National Cancer Institute Division of Cancer Prevention produced results that showed screening current and former heavy smokers with low-dose computed tomography (CT) scans reduced their risk of dying from lung cancer by 20 percent.
What is screening?
Screening means testing for a disease when there are no associated symptoms of the disease. Screening for lung cancer can result in early detection of the disease, increasing the likelihood of a better outcome and survival.
What is low-dose CT Lung Screening?
The low-dose CT lung screening is a test to detect lung cancer in its early stages. These screenings use less than one fourth of the radiation of a regular diagnostic CT scan. The scan is completed during a single breath hold of five to ten seconds. No IV contrast injection is required for this scan.
Who should get a low-dose CT Lung Screening?
This exam is for individuals who are at high risk for developing lung cancer. You might be at high risk if you are:
- 55-74 years old and smoked more than one pack per day for 15-30 years
- A former smoker who quit smoking in the past 15 years
- A current smoker with no present symptoms suggestive of lung cancer
Is low-dose CT Lung Screening covered by insurance?
At the present time, insurers do not cover the screening. Individuals wishing to have the screening should expect to pay out-of-pocket at the time of service. The charges total approximately $200 for the screening.
Who will interpret and get my test results?
The scan will be interpreted by a board-certified radiologist. The results will be shared with you, the physician who ordered your screening CT scan, and/or any additional physician you choose. The radiologist can work together with your ordering physician to determine the best course of action based on the findings. This might include a follow up CT lung scan in six months to a year, a referral to a pulmonologist (lung doctor), thoracic surgeon (lung surgeon), and/or oncologist (cancer doctor).
Allegheny Valley Hospital is pleased to provide community lung cancer screening for high-risk individuals. For more information about the program, please contact AVH Radiological Imaging at 724.224.1840.

"Invalid calibration data in device tree & eeprom is blank"
Source : GeeZuZz
Source add : http://www.hackint0sh.org/forum/showthread.php?p=81893
When a phone is unlocked (in a proper way), it will always be unlocked. Firmware upgrades never touches EEPROM, including lock data.
Here are my thought's on how iphone unlocking works - of course, it's just my thoughts based on my experience with other phones, and i may very well be wrong.
IPFS unlock solution is permanent, and will handle all future updates
Yes, i'm fairly sure that a phone unlocked with IPFS is a proper unlock (not firmware patch), making it permanent. But of course, unlike other's, iphone needs activation and IPFS therefore completely dependent on activation, which is depending on jailbreak. But when it comes to the operator lock itself, IPFS's permanently unlocks it.
I'm not sure exactly how IPFS does unlock it, but i'm feeling very sure it's one of these:
1. IPFS reads data from the baseband/EEPROM, and rebuilds the lock area in EEPROM with proper data - without any lock. This is exactly the same done on almost all other phones.
2. IPFS patches the baseband, but only as a temporary step in order to achive the above. When it's finished, it doesn't matter if the patch is removed (bb upgraded), because phone is already unlocked.
AnySIM and the other solutions are fimware patch solutions and will never survive baseband flashing/upgrade. Unlike IPFS (if IPFS also patches firmware), AnySIM patches firmware in order to bypass the lock, not in order to unlock it - or at least it's not unlocking it properly. The fact that anysim unlocked phones are bricked after upgrading, must be caused by changes the anySIM solution does to EEPROM, which is not properly done, and makes it "corrupted" as seen from the new firmware.
In my opinion there's no reason to be so negative about IPFS. They did the real unlock and so far noone have been able to recreate their solution. So don't expect a free real solution for 1.1.1 appearing very soon either. A free patch-unlock though is probably already possible now that they have decrypted the ramdisk, i will try that tomorrow. Of course iphone dev team are doing the most important work, and let's hope they soon will be able to work out a direct unlock solution as well.

Spuds baseball team hoping to keep up school's winning waysMoorhead, MN (WDAY TV) - A new season of baseball opens tomorrow in Moorhead when the Spuds host Brainerd. It's been a very successful year so far on the east side of the river and the baseball team hopes to be next in line.
By: Jody Norstedt, WDAY
A new season of baseball opens tomorrow in Moorhead when the Spuds host Brainerd. It's been a very successful year so far on the east side of the river and the baseball team hopes to be next in line.
Moorhead baseball player Cody Rahman has had a busy senior year.
Cody Rahman – Spuds Junior Infielder: "First it was football, then it was hockey, now pretty much the expectation is to make it in all three."
Along with football and hockey, the boys' basketball team also advanced to a state tournament this year. Making Moorhead a regular come state tournament time.
Thomas Carey – Spuds Junior Infielder: "You get out there and go through the tunnel in hockey. You see a big white light and it's just packed with people and it's just so much fun being on TV and everything and just experiencing the whole thing."
Peter MacFarlane – 2 State Trips (Football & Hockey): "There's excitement, the schools are crazy, a lot of expectations for both teams and that just makes it all the more fun."
A total of 9 players on the Spuds baseball roster have already played in a state tournament this year. It's experience that they hope will give them an edge this spring.
Thomas Carey: "We know what it's like and we know what it takes to get there. And we want to be able to get there in baseball, too."
One state trip may have ended up hurting the baseball team, Michael Bitzer, who backstopped the Spuds to a state tournament berth. Is playing junior hockey in Alexandria, meaning one of the team's top hitters from last year may not return.
Greg Salvevold – 6th Year Moorhead Head Coach: "I've kind of expected that he wouldn't be here because of the success in hockey and what might happen for him in hockey. But, right now we're focusing on our team, here."
With 12 starters on the roster including many with big-game experience, these Spuds are ready to make a run.
Cody Rahman: "I think it just adds a little fuel to the fire. I've always wanted to make it to a state tournament in baseball, I've never been there."
Thomas Carey: "We definitely want to make it back to state. We haven't been there for a while. The expectations are pretty high and this is a pretty good group of guys."
They're a group hoping to continue a winning trend. It's been a while for the Spuds. Their last trip to state was in 1990.

The three-day weekend has arrived! While relaxation and backyard barbecues are on the agenda for many folks this Labor Day, the holiday weekend offers some interesting options for Southwest Floridians, from exploring the Everglades to playing tug-of-war in the mud.
Bottomless Mud Pit Tug-O-War and Toilet Seat Horseshoes are among the wacky events of the Redneck Games at the second annual Lee County Family Festival in North Fort Myers.
In planning this festival of "good-natured foolishness," the North Fort Myers Chamber of Commerce has taken its inspiration from Jeff Foxworthy's description of "Redneck" as "a glorious absence of sophistication," said Chris Jackson, the chamber's executive director.
The festival's signature event is the Redneck Six-tathlon, featuring head-to-head competition in tire rolling, hanging out the laundry, eating a SPAM-wich and tossing the remote. The first to ring the dinner bell wins.
"I'm not going to say exactly what the dinner bell is, but it involves a hubcap and a fly swatter," Jackson said.
Festival goers also will have a chance to show off their redneck style in the Best Mullet Contest (hair, not fish). New this year, the Manly-Man Mattress Toss and Bobbing for Pigs Feet will be added to the Games, which also include corn hole, backyard bowling and watermelon relays.
"The bobbing for frozen pigs feet contest is getting a lot of buzz," Jackson noted.
The Calendar Girls will be among the live entertainment throughout the day. The over-50 dancing troupe will be hosting "Daisy Duke's Tailgate Party."
"Last year, they did a salute to SPAM, which was very moving," joked Jackson.
Festival food and beer will be available at this low-cost, family-friendly event, which is being held at the North Fort Myers Drive-in and Flea Market, which Jackson notes is "thematically appropriate."
Admission is $3, and the festival benefits the North Fort Myers Chamber of Commerce and Bridge Youth Center.
"We're all about the family friendly pricing and family friendly content," Jackson said. "The Games take place all day long, and there's no charge for them. I think we can all claim a little bit of redneck in us."
When: 10 a.m.-4 p.m. Monday, Sept. 2
Where: North Fort Myers Drive-in and Flea Market, 2521 U.S. 41 N.
Tickets: $3 per person, free parking, kids 5 and under free

If mucking in a manmade mud pit doesn't sound appealing, photographer Clyde Butcher offers a completely different type of mucking at his gallery in Big Cypress. While the artist traditionally hosts a Labor Day Muck-About on his scenic property, this year he will be offering a different experience.
Butcher and his wife, Niki, will be hosting an open house and lecture, unveiling 10 new photos from their recent anniversary trip "Across the West." The couple spent about five months exploring nature's beauty at national parks, including Zion, Sequoia River, Glacier and Yosemite.
This year also marks the 20th anniversary of the Big Cypress Gallery. Although the Butchers won't be leading tours through the swamp this time, they will be opening their 13-acre property for exploration.
"It's one of the prettiest properties in the Everglades," Clyde Butcher remarked. "We like to get people out in the swamp. A lot of people in Naples and Marco don't go out and see how beautiful it is in Big Cypress. People need to experience it to understand how great it is."
The Butchers will be hosting a Muck About over President's Day weekend in February instead of Labor Day this year due to wet conditions and a large number of nesting alligators, Clyde Butcher noted. He will be lecturing on Saturday, Sunday and Monday and expects to see many of his faithful fans, who have followed on his adventures on Facebook.

Outdoor enthusiasts also might like to spend their holiday weekend traversing the inlets and waterways on a kayak of Stand Up Paddleboard (SUP).
"SUP seems to be the new trend right now," said Brandon Greer, owner of Sweetwater Paddle Sports on Bonita's Back Bay. "It's extremely easy to learn, and they're so light compared to a kayak."
He anticipates heavy rental demand for Labor Day weekend and suggests people call ahead to make SUP reservations. Sweetwater charges $25 for the first hour and $10/hour thereafter for launching onto Back Bay from the shop. They also deliver paddle boards and kayaks to Lovers Key and Bonita Beach for $65 a day, or $50 for two hours.
Local state parks, including Lovers Key, Delnor-Wiggins Pass, Collier-Seminole and Koreshan State Historic Site, offer countless opportunities for Labor Day activities. Relax while soaking up the rays at the beach, find a shady spot for a family picnic or trek through the tropical forest.
The beaches at Delnor-Wiggins and Clam Pass have been rated among the best on Florida's Gulf Coast by "Dr. Beach" (Dr. Stephen Leatherman, a professor and director of Laboratory for Coastal Research at Florida International University). He also gives a nod to Sanibel and Captiva Islands, which he calls "two of the loveliest barrier islands in the country."
When: Saturday, Aug. 31 through Monday, Sept. 2
Where: Clyde and Niki Butcher's Swamp Cottage, 52388 Tamiami Trail, Ochopee
Tickets: $50, includes one-hour lecture/Powerpoint, snack, story booklet and $25 gift certificate to use in the gallery (gallery viewing and book signing are free)

Local resorts are expecting a full house this Labor Day weekend, with many locals and "regional tourists" driving less than three hours for a getaway close to home.
The Hyatt Regency Coconut Point is planning a weekend of festivity with water slide races, splash contests, limbo dancing and "Fast Pitch" timed by a speedometer.
"We're calling it 'Going Coconuts,' and our recreational team is pulling out all the stops," said Public Relations manager Patricia George.
The Hyatt is running a "stay three nights, get one free" promotion for those wanting to stay all weekend. Steel drums will be playing poolside, and activities will be going from noon to 4 p.m. each day.
■ ■ ■
Sport enthusiasts might like to catch a Miracle Baseball game on Sunday against the Bradenton Marauders. The Family Fun Pack includes four game tickets, four hot dogs, four sodas and a program for $25. Families are invited to play catch on the field before the game and sprint the bases after it's over.
Golfers are invited to support the families of wounded warriors this weekend as part of Tiburón Golf Club. Tiburón is one of many clubs participating in this national event supporting Folds of Honor Foundation, which provides scholarships to children and spouses of military personnel disabled or killed while serving.
Tiburón will be holding "closest-to-the-pin" contests daily from Friday to Monday with an entry fee of $10. A Flag Day Competition will be Saturday, and daily drawings will be held for Tiburón gift cards and services. The golf club also will be honoring active, reserve and retired military personnel with discounted golf all weekend.
When:Friday, Aug. 30-Monday, Sept. 2
Where: Tiburón Golf Club at the Ritz Carlton Naples
Golf: Active, reserve and veteran military personnel golf for $42 and get 20 percent discount in the pro shop. Special contests and drawings throughout the weekend raise money for the Folds of Honor Foundation.
Information: 239-593-2201
■ ■ ■
Avid shoppers also look forward to Labor Day, with many local shopping centers hosting sidewalk sales. Promotions will be running all weekend at Miromar Outlets, Village at Venetian Bay and Fifth Avenue South.
Labor Day also is a good time to take the family to the zoo. Kids will be admitted free at the Naples Zoo at Caribbean Gardens with paid adult admission. Find the coupon online at www.napleszoo.com.
