Assure the Safety of Auto Fuel Used in your Airplane with EAA's Alcohol Test Kit
EAA AVIATION CENTER, OSHKOSH, Wis. - (June 30, 2006) — With more states welcoming and even mandating ethanol in motor fuels for automobiles, the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) is helping pilots who use auto fuel in their airplanes stay safe, with a new alcohol test kit available through EAA.
For more than 30 years, EAA's auto fuel Supplemental Type Certificates (STCs) for a variety of manufactured aircraft have saved aircraft owners money by allowing them to use unleaded auto fuel. Such fuel without ethanol is safe and effective for aircraft use, based on more than 30 years of thorough testing.
The addition of ethanol, however, creates chemical properties that are harmful to aircraft engines and fueling systems. It is critical for aircraft owners using auto fuel to know if the gasoline being used in their aircraft is pure. Some states do not require the marking of gas pumps indicating ethanol is present in the fuel, so EAA recommends that all auto fuel be tested before fueling an aircraft.
EAA's auto fuel Alcohol Test Kit allows a pilot or aircraft maintenance technician to make preventative tests on auto fuel, even before fuel is purchased for an aircraft. Simply pour water, then auto fuel, in the included test tube and shake it to mix the contents. When the mixture has settled within five to 10 minutes, a gauge on the test tube indicates whether the water level has risen. An increase in the amount of water on the gauge indicates that alcohol is present in the fuel. The gauge will also indicate the percentage of alcohol. EAA's test method is simpler than the previous remedies, as much less fuel is used to make a determination.
EAA's auto fuel test kit is a necessary tool for every auto fuel STC holder, and is just $15, including shipping via US Postal Service Priority Mail. The kit includes padded insulation for the test tube, so you can keep it in your aircraft without worrying about breakage. The test kit is easy to use and will last as long as the glass does.
The test kit can be ordered from EAA by calling 920-426-4843 or emailing firstname.lastname@example.com. Orders will also be taken at Member Village during EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2006 on July 24-30 at Wittman Regional Airport in Oshkosh, Wis. In addition, more information on auto fuel and STCs will be available on during an EAA AirVenture forum on Monday, July 24, at 11:45 a.m., at Forum Pavilion #2.
EAA AIRVENTURE OSHKOSH is The World's Greatest Aviation Celebration and EAA's yearly membership convention. EAA members receive lowest prices on admission rates. For more information on EAA and its programs, call 1-800-JOIN-EAA (1-800-564-6322) or visit www.eaa.org. EAA AirVenture information is also available through the World Wide Web at www.airventure.org.

Thanks to Tim from ZooGue for getting me this case so soon, I needed it in time for my trip to Germany next week. That being said, it's still an unbiased review...he didn't give me a discount, pay for me to review it, or anything. I paid full price and shipping for the case.
I have a bunch of pictures and perhaps I'll make a video at a later time if need be.
First things first...it comes in a nice box which is boxed within a box, and instructions just in case you are too stupid to figure out how to use the case.
First thing you notice about the case is, it definitely has some girth to it, but not too bad (I'll get to that later). The leather seems to be quality, as is the velcro and snaps. I will say this: this case is more for function that finesse. In other words you can find some "nicer" looking cases out there, but it depends on what you want to use it for...do you want to take it into a board meeting in a very slim case or do you want function over form? Me personally, I want function, and this case does it. Not to say that it doesn't have nice looks though. The case is nice, but it's not that streamlined nice like a very simple, otherwise useless Apple case, for example.
The one thing I expect that I will not like (and it's hard to be avoidable in leather cases), is the soft leather lining will most likely produce the same dust like stuff you get from the Apple case.
Putting the iPad into the case was one of the first things I liked about it. With the Apple case, it's just slightly too snug so it takes a lot of effort to pull the iPad in and out of the case. This is ok if you like to keep your iPad in one place, but me personally around the house and what not I like to take the iPad out and use it bare without a case...so for this reason I never use the Apple case because it's not easy to slide in and out. With the ZooGue, it slides in easily and then a little leather strap and snap keeps in place.
Once the iPad is in the case you can see that nothing is obstructed in any way, shape or form. The light sensor has a perfectly positioned hole, the home button is exposed, as are all the other buttons, jacks, and ports. That being said, your corners are also exposed...so if you drop this on a corner, it's still going to dent your iPad.
That being said, when you plug the camera connection kit into it, the iPad is able to see the kit, imports the pictures no problem, etc...but it isn't able to push in far enough to lock into place, so you could bump it off. But it DOES work.
When it's open like you see in the pictures above, the dimensions at the widest point are approximately: 7.75"W x 9.75"H x 1.25"D. Compare to the iPad dimensions of 7.47"W x 9.56"H x .53"D you can see most of the girth comes from the thickness, which is necessary to have the stand and straps. The WiFi only iPad comes "stock" as 1.5 pounds, with the ZooGue case it weighs in at just a hair over 2 pounds, 4 ounces. So about 12 ounces more than the iPad by itself.
Now when you shut the case you will notice that like the Apple case it doesn't stay shut...however, if you want it to stay shut, the straps designed to help it interface with a seat headrest or airplane headrest will flip around perfectly to keep it shut.
The flap for the "kickstand" is held in place by small pieces of Velcro, so it's not always flapping around.
Flipping the cover over and using the little kickstand will give you access to just about every angle possible that you would want. This is what sold me on the case. The Apple case sucks when it comes to watching a movie in landscape mode on an airplane. The case is unstable, it's not at right angles, and the slightest bit of turbulence will send the case tipping towards you on the place. It's also dependent on whether the person in front of you has their seat up or back. With the ZooGue case, this is not the situation.
One minor issue, depending on how you decide to carry it, are the small pieces of velcro that hold the flap in place and lock it into the back for the different viewing angles. The sticky side by design is forced outward so if you have a smooth cloth bag that you will be putting it into, it could potentially get stuck. I thought that it would be an issue the moment I opened the box, but so long as I put it in with the snaps facing up, it doesn't get stuck much.
I also thought it might be too big, but I don't think it is at all. It fits rather snugly but well into the the small pocket of my TimBuk2 Freestyle Messenger bag. This picture shows you everything I have in my bag (unpacked, packed, and completed so you can see it isn't too thick):
Overall I think I am going to absolutely LOVE this case, especially for traveling. Several important things that sold me on the case:
- Tim, the founder of ZooGue, responds to every one of my emails within 24 hours, and I bugged him a lot about making sure I had the case on time for my trip to Germany. Remember that he is JUST launching the product, dealing with customs, fulfilling orders, you name it, and yet still made time to get back to me.
- The kickstand and Velcro allow you to position this at just about every single angle known to man. This is perfect for traveling, resting it on your lap, you name it because no angle is left out.
- The headrest straps will allow you to put this on the back of the headrest, especially on an airplane this will be nice so long as it doesn't interfere with the person in front of you. I haven't tried it yet, but I promise to update the review when I get a chance to try it on a plane.
- The case is quality made and to me it is better that it is a little bulkier for traveling...this prevents turbulence and other minor things from pushing it around like the flimsy and otherwise worthless Apple case.
- None of your buttons are obstructed...just get that worry out of your head right away
- None of the other pieces of the case itself are flapping around constantly with no way to secure them
- You can easily get the iPad in and out of the case, so no issues there whatsoever like with the Apple case
Now onto some potential "cons":
- Not a con for me, but if you are looking for an ultra slim case this is not it. It will more than double the depth of the iPad. Height and width are not increased all that much though.
- Also not a con for me as it turns out, but the Velcro could potentially get stuck on your bag, or other pieces of Velcro.
- Yet again, not a con for me because that isn't why I bought it, but this is not an all inclusive protective case. If you sat on it, it would probably hold up well. If you drop it on the corner however it will dent or break because the corners are not covered by the case.
- Camera Connection kit doesn't fit perfectly...just enough to import the pictures but not enough to keep it locked into place. You could probably easily remove about 1/8" of material on either side of the hole with an exacto knife to solve this problem.

It 's hard buying something on line when you can't pick it up and touch it.
i'll figure out something to use these for .

There could be some changes on the way to the Charlottesville bus system. A transit study along with recommendations will be presented to City Council on Monday night.
To get home, to go to work or go anywhere, really, Ruth Green isn't just a frequent transit user, it's part of her daily life.
"I ride every single day, two or three buses to get home and go to work," Green said.
Recommendations for the Charlottesville Area Transit (CAT) are finalized and from what Green has heard, she is happy to hear her route is part of the positive changes.
"I think they should come at least every fifteen minutes to a half hour, especially on this route because it's really busy," she said.
Route's 4 and 9 will see an increase in frequency to every 30 minutes during the daytime and weekends.
"Instead of waiting an hour because right now when I get out of work I have to wait an hour for the bus," said Green.
Because of a car issue, Charlottesville City Councilor Dave Norris has been taking advantage of the CAT system.
"We have a great transit system, I've experienced it first hand," Norris said. "I think this report and these recommendations will make an even better system and hopefully more people will take advantage of the transit resources we have here in Charlottesville."
He says he's pleased with the report and does a good job of further connecting the community while improving the whole system.
"We can tweak it to where places like Belmont won't see a decrease in service and other places will get at least the same they're getting now, or better," Green said. "We want the system to work better in general and I think a lot of the changes are getting at that."
The recommendations would increase operation costs by about $50,000 but Norris says council knows how important public transit is to people's lives in the community.
Transit riders are encouraged to attend the meeting to give their suggestions.
City Council will vote on the recommendations in the coming months.

Are there any great local places or hidden gems to eat / drink / visit that are not in any of the travel guide books? I am looking for things off the beaten path and that have a eclectic feel. I will be in Melbourne for a days starting the 1st and would love to experience the local Melbourne rather then the touristy haunts.
Melbourne is full of hidden gems. Most of the good bars, cafes etc are down little lane ways or hidden away. There are a couple of companies that do organised bar crawls but the best bet would be to just wander around the city to discover them for yourself or ask locals - most will be only too happy to help you out.

235 14th St, Miami Beach, FL | Directions 3313925.785455 -80.131531
Mon. - Thu. 11am - 5am;Fri. - Sun. 11am - 6am
Neighborhoods: Flamingo / Lummus
Great late night, but a bit pricy – VERY late last night, (in a bit of a drunken haze) I was delighted to find Tmex open, a friendly face at the counter. I was so happy to be eating the Guaco loco chicken taco- (a hard shell stuffed to the brim with goodness with a soft shell wrapped around, stuck with guac) that I almost forgave the price. $12 for two tacos. They're tacos! $12?! Although she did throw in a mini spanish lesson for free...
late night eats – Formerly San Loco.
Tacos are good and made to order. The chicken lime soup is also tasty but I would recomend ordering it in the daytime. This place is great for a late night munch!
Doesnt live up to expectations! – What a rip-off! Almost $12 for a burrito? I have traveled the world and never seen a place lik ethis recommended for being affordable and tasty. I found it to be neither!
First Stop in South Beach – I live in New England, but I go to Miami quite often. When I am on the plane, I am already thinking about San Loco, I cannot wait to go there for their delicious tacos and burritos. If I go there for five days, I am sure that I go there at some point four out of the five, even if it is at 3am at the end of the evening. Their tacos are perfect; I can't even choose between soft or hard shell, so I have to get both.
It is an extremely casual place, order at the counter, either sit there or at one of the few tables. They do an extensive take out service and do deliver locally. Prices are very reasonable, they do serve beer (they have Negra Modela, my favorite dark Mexican beer.) Friendly staff and customers. You could probably go there in your pajamas if you wanted. Try not to have to use the restroom, it is not too pretty.
Great local joint – Great place to grab a quick bite to eat. Tasty tacos, great sauce. Quesadilla a must to order, and always get an ice cold beer. Make this a stop for lunch or dinner.
The place to go if you get the late-night munchies on South Beach. – In Short
It's the spot for club kids, bar and restaurant workers, budget tourists and anyone who needs fresh fast food at almost any hour of the day or night. There are a few tables, but most people order to go. Food doesn't come out fast, but it's worth the wait. Guacamole is fresh and the tacos, burritos, enchiladas and a host of other munchies are zesty and cheap. Salsa comes in "mild," "medium," "serious" and "stupid."
Good Mexican, Great Service – I really enjoy eating here when I have one of my infrequent Mexican cravings. The food is very fresh, the sauces are terrific and the service was the best.
Probably the best meal I had for the money on South Beach. Hopefully with continued business, they will take some more chances with their menu - maybe some pumpkin tamales or ancho brownies?

Happy New Year!
by Warren on Jan.03, 2012, under Computer Science, Games, Leisure, MMOs, Personal, Technology
Well, the holidays are officially over and I have no excuse to avoid writing here. This term I'm taking three courses at the University of Waterloo, two of them being distance education and one of them requiring me to make the trip to campus. The three courses that I've enrolled in this term are:
- ENGL 109: Introduction to Academic Writing (Online)
- PHIL 215: Professional and Business Ethics (Online)
- CS 447: Software Testing, Quality Assurance and Maintenance
It may seem like an odd course selection for a 4B Computer Science student, but I haven't taken an English course in a long time and it's never a bad time to improve one's communication skills. I'm really hoping that the philosophy course will tie in nicely with the software engineering content that I've been learning over the past few terms. From what I understand, the typical software engineer is responsible for not only designing software, but designing good software (as in, software that makes sense from a design and usability perspective). PHIL 215 is also one of the courses recommended by the degree requirements checklist for my year.
CS447 is the final course in a series of three software engineering-related courses (the first two being CS445: Software Requirements and CS446: Software Architecture). I've found myself being extremely interested in the design philosophies of software from the software engineering perspective. This is kind of surprising, given the attitudes of many of my classmates towards these three courses (generally not positive). The courses have also been some of the highest marks I've received at the University of Waterloo, and their content has been extremely useful in some of the side projects that I've been working on lately (more on this later).
On the lighter side of life, I have been playing BioWare's new Star Wars game with a few of my friends and have been thoroughly enjoying it. As a former World of Warcraft player (clean and sober for 2 years now, thankfully) it's fairly easy for me to nitpick the small flaws with SW:TOR, but I have to admit that the holiday launch was one of the smoothest I have seen from the MMO genre. One of the major ideas that the player community is missing is that many of the features that they take for granted in mature games like World of Warcraft were not present at launch, and time will only improve the technical quality of the game.
I also recently upgraded my computer's graphics hardware by installing two XFX HD6950 cards in a CrossFireX configuration. This is my first multi-card installation and from what I have seen so far, it works pretty well. I did have some minor issues with screen tearing (even after enabling vertical sync) which I will attribute to the 3D engine not working well with multiple graphics cards, but installing Catalyst Application Profiles seems to have fixed the problem. Additionally, I did have to install an additional 120mm fan on the side of my case (which is obnoxiously loud) in order to regulate the temperature of the cards under load. Because of the layout of my motherboard, the video cards sit right next to each other, causing the top one to suck in hot air from the bottom one. Before the fan was added, the temperatures of the top and bottom cards were 95C and 80C, respectively (a little too hot for me). Adding the fan reduced the temperatures to 75C and 65C; these are well within acceptable bounds given that they're powering a 1440p display.
That about wraps it up for my life right now. I'm still planning on writing about (potentially) interesting facts on a daily to weekly basis. Once I determine the load that classes and work are placing on me this term, I will decide how much time I can devote to this blog. Until then, I'll be posting here whenever I have something to say.

Loaded with tips and hints! Another essential book for the setup man.
this book helps "jiROck Custom" to be the best guitar shop in my place. :)
I have an older edition that does not have the DVD but the book is very useful & offers a lot of trade secrets that take a lot of error our of many trials!
I am considering the new edition for the signed copy & for the DVD..
If you were to learn as much as you can about guitar-repair from 1 book, this is the one! I first bought the 2nd Edition 15 years ago and loved it! I bought this one to see what's new.
The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars was there is a considerable amount of grammatical-errors and was not as well written (compared to the 2nd Edition). In the end it is still a great source of knowledge.
Super great job with that book. Well explain, easy to use, and with Dan signature, GREAT.
I had the earlier version in Australia. Having now moved to Texas and playing guitar again, had to buy the book again because it is an invaluable reference when setting up my guitars.
There's a good reason this book was reissued a few times. Originally, I got the 2nd version and it was so good that I acquired the next 3rd release when it went out for sale.
Everything in this book says about the vast experience of the author behind this work. I keep turning to it every time I need to fix something. The solution might be something simple that is easy to come up with on my own but it's always nice to consider the other options as well - it's like having a personal counselor luthier with me all the time. Besides, there may be situations when this books spares you from making expensive mistakes - it's better to learn from somebody else's, right?
Overall, a necessary addition for every instrument maker/repair person or a player who wants to know what it takes to make a quality repair or set-up.
Truly a great book!!
As a guy that is going into Luthiery and who has asked quite a few people about books and tools, they all have mentioned this book! There is so much in it and links to other books and schools........a must have!
If you're even semi-interested in guitar building and repair, this is a must have.
This book is a must have for any guitarist who wants to setup their own guitars.

Four Israeli Jewish teenagers were detained by police Wednesday for bowing down at the Temple Mount, an act that seen as a prayer and which is prohibited by the Muslim Waqf, the Muslim religious administration that is authorized by Israel to manage the holy site.

Stop trying to annex Muslim Temples and you won't be arrested.
There is no reason why both Muslims and Jews cannot utilize the Temple Mount. They have two separate holy days — Muslims on Friday, Jews on Saturday. Jews have no desire or business to enter the Dome of the Rock and Al-Aqsa Mosque. If Jews are outside, and just on the Temple Mount, then both Muslims and Jews are accommodated on it.
It's time to end the Arab/Muslim Occupation of the Land of Israel!

Rebel, Rock Star, Rambler, Rogue
- Paperback: $16.00 add to cart
An examination of Mick Jagger's spectacular life and the cultural revolution he led as the legendary front man of the Rolling Stones.
As the Rolling Stones celebrate their fiftieth anniversary, their legendary front man remains an enigma; he hasn't given an in-depth interview in a decade and a half. Drawing on firsthand recollections from rockers, filmmakers, writers, and other artists who have been transformed by Mick Jagger's work, acclaimed music journalist Marc Spitz has created a unique examination of the Jagger legacy. Combining biography with cultural history, Jagger unfolds like a captivating documentary, a series of episodes tracing the icon's rise from his childhood in middle-class postwar London to his status as a jet-setting knight.
Culturally astute, often funny, and painstakingly researched, Jagger offers a far richer potrait than biographies published previously. The book reveals much about his relationships (with Marianne Faithfull and ex-wives Bianca Jagger and Jerry Hall); his complex, creative partership with Keith Richards; his friends, including John Lennon and David Bowie; and his enemies, such as Hells Angels leader Sonny Barger. Spitz goes even deeper, exploring Jagger's many roles: authentic soul man; powerful social commentator; sexual liberator; would-be movie star; and a shrewd businessman with an enthusiasm for much younger women. The myth of Mick is examined and rebooted for the twenty-first century.
"Talk about sympathy for the devil: Marc Spitz turns Mick Jagger's life into a savagely funny, monstrously hypnotic narrative. It's a brilliant tale of sex, music, decadence, and celebrity, one that seems to suck in most of the past century, from Route 66 to Studio 54. Nobody's ever told the story better—Jagger might be rock & roll's most unknowable soul, but Spitz gives him back every bit of his Satanic majesty." — Rob Sheffield
"Mick Jagger is our age's Byronic exemplar of action and experience. Mick and the Rolling Stones opened new worlds for us, and worlds beyond. Marc Spitz, Jagger's latest biographer, has done him justice and more, with new info, trenchant insights, and best of all- a sense of humor." — Stephen Davis
"The first sentence of the 5th paragraph of this book is 'Here we go', and Spitz means it. This is a sustained, headlong, late-night crystalline rant/sermon/declaration that never lets up, never plays safe, and, when you're finished, finally lets you breathe. Goddamit. Now I have to go buy this dude's Bowie book." — Patton Oswalt
"If Chuck Berry invented 'rock and roll' Mick Jagger invented 'rock star.' With the swagger and the soul, the brains and the balls, Spitz proves that Jagger is truly the man. An insightful and inspiring page burner, Jagger is a pleasure for even the most jaded jukebox junkie." — Jesse Malin
"With a reporter's doggedness, a fan's zeal, and a stand-up's eye for absurd detail, Marc Spitz makes the awfully compelling case that Mick Jagger's true talents have long gone underappreciated. Jagger provides ample proof of why Spitz is one of rock lit's funniest, funkiest, and finest voices." — Doug Brod, Editor in Chief, SPIN
"[A] picaresque biography." — Vogue
"An eager hagiography that takes aim at Mr. Richards while trumpeting Mr. Jagger's overlooked fine qualities. Spitz knows enough about the Stones' history to pick good shots and leave out the dull stuff." — New York Times
"His history is every bit as compelling as the one portrayed by Richards in his recent autobiography" — The Boston Globe
"Stones fans and popular music readers can rest comfortably knowing that Jagger is not only an engaging biography, but also a compelling work of cultural criticism." — Popmatters.com
"Competently enough written, this is a pleasant read that nicely puts all the old stories in some order, referencing discarded lovers, dalliances, and other time-honored themes." — Booklist

New Remember Me Trailer Showcases Combat
By Matthew Bennett, Associate Editor
Posted on January 8, 2013 AT 07:35am
Posted on January 8, 2013 AT 07:35am
It seems that the promised Remember Me trailer for later this week has released a little earlier than expected.
New footage of the Dontnod developed game showcases hand-to-hand combat, which appears to play a major role. Combat is slick, face-paced, and very combo heavy by the looks of things. The trailer was expected later this week, but it appears that the Internet wasn't prepared to wait.
Remember Me is due to release in May for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC.

I have some electrical knowledge and test meters but not sure about testing a manual thermostat. I have not read alot of info about radiant ceiling heat troubleshooting. I am guessing that if the thermostat is not bad that the heating elements are bad and probably would have to go with baseboard heat. Thanks for your time.

Spiritwood family recalls furnace explosionSpiritwood, ND (WDAY TV) - A Spiritwood family is counting their blessings after a furnace explosion destroyed their home and sent two to the hospital.
By: Becky Parker, WDAY Staff Reports, WDAY
Spiritwood, ND (WDAY TV) - A Spiritwood family is counting their blessings after a furnace explosion destroyed their home and sent two to the hospital.
Paul and Gene Komrosky suffered second degree burns, but the family says they are glad the two are safe.
One family's life changed in an instant.
Tuesday afternoon, Hilma Komrosky got a call from her son Paul.
Hilma, Komrosky, Paul's Mother/Gene's Wife: "And he said, "I just blew up the house, Mom. It's on fire.""
Paul and his father, Gene, were lighting the furnace at Paul's farmhouse when it exploded.
Firefighters spent about seven hours putting out the resulting fire.
The big challenge with this fire is that the floor collapsed, trapping debris underneath and making it difficult for firefighters to get to the flames.
Tim Lyter, Sanborn Fire Chief: "We kept attacking because we thought if we saved them anything at all from the stuff that's in the house, it's better than nothing, nothing. The garage - we saved everything in there."
The two men are in stable condition with second-degree burns at Mercy Hospital in Valley City.
Paul's brother, sister-in-law, and their children moved in last Spring to help around the farm.
They say that Paul - a longtime foster parent - pours his energy into helping others.
Laura Komrosky, Paul's Sister-in-Law: "He's worried about the community and the people out there that need help. So, he'll be the last one to ask for help, but the first one to step up and help somebody else. So, we'll just stand behind him."
Now, the home he opened to more than a dozen foster kids is gone.
The family will live with Hilma in Valley City for now, as they figure out how to pick up the pieces.
But they say it could have been much worse.
Komrosky: "We are so blessed that our men were saved. And the house can be replaced."
Paul's family members worry that health problems could hinder his recovery.

Reporters and journalism educators can receive free travel and tuition to attend one of six seminars.
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla., Jan. 29, 2014 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- To ensure citizens benefit from the best possible reporting on critical issues, The Robert R. McCormick Foundation and The Poynter Institute for Media Studies today announced six workshops on key issues for journalists in 2014.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20110323/MM70721LOGO)
The seminars, called McCormick Specialized Reporting Institutes, carry out both organizations' mission to create a strong democracy through an informed public. The McCormick Foundation pays travel costs and tuition through a $600,000, two-year grant to Poynter, the leading educator of journalists worldwide.
The 2014 topics and workshop hosts include:
Poynter is hosting the first SRI of 2014 at the University of Maryland this week on covering the Affordable Care Act. Poynter will announce the sixth workshop later this year.
To ensure as many people as possible benefit, each host also will produce a Webinar on the topic and a page of reporting resources on Poynter's e-learning site, News University (www.NewsU.org).
"Our goal is to give journalists the knowledge, sources and insight they need to cover these important issues. Providing both workshops and online education creates a deeper and broader journalistic learning framework," said Clark Bell, director of the McCormick Foundation's journalism program.
Reporters interested in applying should contact workshop hosts. Application details will be available starting about three months before each workshop.
The McCormick Foundation has partnered with The Poynter Institute to administer this program since 2011. This is the first year of a two-year grant to continue to carry out this work.
"This program allows journalists to become real-time experts on complicated and important issues. That's increasingly difficult these days, when stories come and go so quickly," said Stephen Buckley, Poynter's dean of faculty. "Being able to come to a place where you can get your arms around these topics is really valuable."
Previous Specialized Reporting Institutes have informed journalists' work on covering guns, sex trafficking, immigration reform, child sexual abuse and more. To see tip sheets, slide presentations, links to Webinars and other reporting resources from prior McCormick SRIs, go to www.newsu.org/resources/mccormick-sri/all.
The Robert R. McCormick Foundation developed the SRI program in 2007 to provide journalists and others with subject-specific expertise and practical reporting training in key issues. The training convenes a diverse group of journalists, often from small to mid-sized news organizations, plus educators for a program lasting two to three days. Participants represent all media platforms.

It's really great to get to do an engagement portrait. In this case, the couple's family sent me their photo (which was taken by another photographer) to 'work my magic' on. I decided to use my normal mix of brushes to get the desired effect, but for the end product…I felt that they might want a more contemporary look.
So, I decided to have the final piece Modern. Edgy. Beautiful. Doing it as a brushed aluminum metal print to show off the painted effect in a unique way. A coat of opaque white ink is added to the metal surface and then the image is printed on top. It's then printed on a 1″ deep brushed aluminum box that is ready to hang.
They should be opening it today (or in the next couple of days after their honeymoon). Hope they enjoy it!

Hey all I am very new to the hackintoh scene. I recently built a core i7 hackintosh that you can see in my config. About a week ago I bought a 1tb SATA drive as an internal time machine drive. I installed it. Worked well did back ups and all. I notived that my chamelon took a little longer to load but it was fine. About 3 days ago my time machone drive gave me a -999 error and stated it was ony read only and could not back up data. So my files were backed up on time machine but it would not add more files.
Suddenly when I would open a folder. The borders woudl appear distorted with lines. But everything functioned well. I then installed iLife dmg. I then restarted the computer and chamelon loaded fine, but when the the gray apple screen came up with a loading bar. It loaded about half way and stood like that.. for hours.
I rebooted in verbose mode and got "keys out of order rebuilding catalog b-tree snow leopard" and said my HD could not be repaired. I then used my empire efi cd to boot into my retail Snow Leopard DVD. I tried to use the repair utility and it said it could not repair or verify. It told to me b ack up data I used disk utlilty to. To explore the drives and all of the info is there. The os just won't boot. I know my infop is there as I changed the chamelon skin while booting and it is stiill there.. I am not sure what I need to do. What can I do in order to get the hard drive workimg I don't think it is possible that both my SATA hard drives are failing.
I burned a disk warrior 4.2 909 and tried to load it via empire efi disk but it didn't load. Is there a way to load up the osx partition via the snowleopard dvd.. please see sig for my hard ware details...

Mickey Weiss visits Bethany Place to keep himself and his drug-using friends alive.
Weiss is a 34-year-old drug addict who lives in Collinsville. Once a week, he goes to the Belleville nonprofit agency to pick up new needles, a vial of the overdose reversal drug naloxone and an injection kit.
The kit comes in a black plastic bag that contains the other tools he needs to shoot up speed and heroin: a tourniquet, alcohol wipes, filters and a cooker to liquefy the drug. Taxpayers spent $15,000 on the Belleville program last year.
The needles and kit help prevent Weiss from contracting and spreading blood-transmitted diseases such as HIV and hepatitis C. The naloxone has helped him save lives.
In a single week, Weiss injected naloxone into three overdosing people who had injected heroin mixed with fentanyl. One got mad because he killed her high.
"The bottom line -- she wasn't dead, either," Weiss said.
Weiss is one of 317 participants in Southern Illinois' only needle exchange program. Intravenous drug users can pick up the free needle supplies, 24 hours a day, seven days a week at Bethany Place, 821 W. A. St. in Belleville. The program also provides needle disposal bins, condoms and information about drug treatment services.
Since its inception in 2009, the confidential program has dispensed thousands of needles and collected 58,134 used needles, according to Executive Director Angela Barnes.
"Our goal is to stop the spread of HIV," Barnes said.
Bethany Place serves a 12-county area in the metro-east and is one of eight needle exchange programs across the state that rely on taxpayer and private money to distribute 4 million needles a year, according to the Illinois Department of Public Health.
Bethany Place's naloxone is provided through the Chicago Recovery Alliance, which buys it with private money from the North American Syringe Exchange Network. The local program has had 145 participants who have reversed 50 overdoses, Barnes said.
The criticisms that have dogged needle exchange programs since they began decades ago are shared by some community members and law enforcement officers who are concerned about the drug overdose epidemic that has gripped the metro-east.
"Sounds like legalized drug dealing," Madison County Sheriff Robert Hertz said when told of the program. "At what point are they going to hand out the heroin, too?"
Susanne Dashner, of Belleville, said the program encourages addicts such as her 27-year-old son to continue to use.
"The problem is that not only do they give them syringes, they give them the little cooking cup, they give them the filters, and they give them a tourniquet so they got everything they need to use to illegally shoot up heroin," said Dashner. "And if that doesn't top it off, they give them the generic form of Narcan."
Public and private health officials counter that needle exchange programs neither facilitate nor encourage drug use, citing years of research to the contrary. They also explained that disease can spread through the shared use and re-use of tourniquets, filters and cookers.
"We are helping them prevent infection," said Stephenie Koester, Bethany Place's community education and prevention coordinator. "We are not helping them use."
But even someone understanding of the program voiced concerns after a Belleville woman overdosed on heroin Feb. 8 in one of Bethany Place's bathrooms. She was revived by staff but was later charged with possessing heroin.
"I think it's quite clear to many people in the community that Bethany Place does great work in terms of protecting public health and preventing the spread of diseases like HIV and hepatitis," St. Clair County State's Attorney Brendan Kelly said. "But again I have a concern that their needle exchange program be tightly administered in a way that doesn't conflict with the mission of law enforcement."
"It's a tricky balance between public health and public safety."
Solution sought Belleville
It wasn't Bethany Place's idea to start handing out needles and injection kits to drug addicts.
In 2009, the AIDS Foundation of Chicago asked Bethany Place to become the first needle exchange program south of Springfield because of St. Clair County's high rate of HIV, said Jessica Terlikowski, the AIDS Foundation's director of regional organizing. The foundation was paying for needle exchange programs through a state grant.
St. Clair County had the fifth-highest rate of new diagnoses of HIV and AIDS cases the past six years among Illinois counties, according to an October 2011 report by the Illinois Public Health Department.
"There wasn't a program down there," Terlikowski said. "And there was a need down there."
Needle exchange programs in Illinois have ties to Chicago organizations that started programs in the 1990s in reaction to the AIDS epidemic.
The Chicago Recovery Alliance established the state's first needle exchange program in 1992 solely using private donations. Within the next decade, it developed a naloxone program.
Illinois needle exchange programs are covered by an exemption in the Illinois Hypodermic Syringes and Needles Act that allows participants in scientific research programs to carry an unspecified number of needles. An amendment added in 2003 allows anyone 18 or older to buy needles from a pharmacy without a prescription and possess up to 20 needles.
The law does not protect anybody who has illegal drugs in either their needles or injection equipment, Kelly said.
Bethany Place participants carry around a card citing the exemption that allows them to carry needles. Barnes said she has had to ask Kelly to dismiss charges in a couple of cases where participants have been wrongly charged by officers.
"My concern is, what is the scientific value in handing out needles beyond the permitted amount of 20 or below?" Kelly said.
Chicago Recovery Alliance Executive Director Dan Bigg said research shows needle exchange participants will pick up needles for their acquaintances, therefore spreading the use of clean needles and preventing disease.
Why don't addicts just buy their supplies from pharmacies?
Weiss said he dreaded that awkward purchase so much he would find someone who didn't look like a junkie to buy needles for him. Also, some addicts may also be reluctant to spend money on needles that could otherwise be used to buy drugs.
"The bottom line is you want me to have this," Weiss said. "It's a community health risk to not have this."
Programs curb disease
Since the 1990s, needle exchange programs have garnered the support of federal health agencies, including the federal Department of Health and Human Services, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the surgeon general. They have certified that years of research show needle exchange programs do not encourage drug abuse and help curb the risk of HIV infection.
Illinois started paying for needle exchange programs in 2007, only after research showed that the HIV infection rate had decreased mainly because of a decrease in the number of infections among intravenous drug users, Bigg said. Bigg had turned to the state after his organization lost some of its money from the City of Chicago.
It was "do or die time for the state," Bigg said.
At the time, needle exchange programs were isolated to Chicago, Rockford and a Quad Cities organization that served cities along Interstate 74 as far east as Champaign, Bigg said. The Quad Cities program has since closed, but programs now exist in every other region of the state, except for the far southern counties.
Needle exchange programs are also in 32 other states, according to the North American Syringe Exchange Network.
The Illinois Department of Public Health estimated about $360,000 in taxpayer and private money is spent on needles annually. Last year, Bethany Place's needle exchange program was completely state-paid and cost $15,000, about 2 percent of its total budget, according to Barnes.
Advocates for the programs point to a decrease in the rate of HIV infections among intravenous drug users in Illinois. Between 2001 and 2009, annually reported HIV cases among injection drug users declined by 62 percent, from 202 to 77 cases, according to the Illinois Department of Public Health.
"No other group has seen such a decline," Terlikowski said.
The programs are also cost-effective, according to the Illinois Department of Public Health. The average cost of lifetime treatment of an HIV patient is approximately $300,000, the department estimates. It only costs $131 a year at 9 cents a needle to provide supplies for an addict who uses four needles a day.
A decades-old ban on using federal money for needle exchange programs has meant no federal tax money has ever gone to the programs, Bigg said.
The federal ban was lifted in 2009 under President Barack Obama but reinstated by Congress in December.
Needles around town
Granite City Police Chief Rich Miller wasn't interested in learning about Bethany Place's program when they came calling last year.
Miller compared the programs to a law signed by Gov. Pat Quinn earlier this month that provides limited immunity to people found with small amounts of drugs who call 911 on behalf of an overdose victim.
"It's saying you got a free ride now," he said.
On one hand, the state is saying these drugs are illegal and people who use them should be prosecuted. On the other, the state is helping to supply drug users with the means to do drugs.
"It's almost hypocritical," he said. "I'm more concerned with stopping the use of it, period."
Barnes and Bigg anticipated some of this antipathy by police when they started the program so they met with dozens of St. Clair County officers to explain the program. They said the officers were friendly and receptive.
One St. Clair County exception has been the Belleville Police Department.
"I'm not happy with Bethany Place and I let it be known," Police Chief William Clay said.
Clay said some participants have thrown their needles around town, and his officers have seen people shoot up in front of Bethany Place.
"I think they fail to consider law enforcement's point of view and the community's point of view," he said.
Former Belleville Alderwoman Donna Mauno and her neighbors who live near Bethany Place have found used needles in their yards in recent months and are concerned about heroin addicts coming into the area.
"Why have the needle exchange program in a residential neighborhood?" she asked.
Barnes said heroin and needles were in the city long before the needle exchange program, noting that local pharmacies have been allowed to dispense needles for years and don't necessarily collect used ones as her program does. She also questioned the validity of Clay's claim that his officers have seen drug use on her organization's property.
"The Belleville chief of police and I have one thing in common -- protecting the citizens," she said. "He protects the city of Belleville, and I not only protect the city of Belleville but the surrounding 12 counties, including St. Clair."
Clay isn't sure what the answer is to the problems Bethany Place is dealing with, but he isn't sure handing out needles and injection kits at all hours of the day is the solution.
"There's not a simple solution," he said.
