Beauty and the Beast Review: The Beast is Backby Carissa Pavlica at .
The anticipation was high for the premiere of Beauty and the Beast Season 2 - and we were treated to an excellent premiere episode with "Who Am I?," even if it could have been more aptly titled "Who Are YOU?" as Vincent has no recollection of the people he once loved.
The opener successfully reset some of the grievances from Beauty and the Beast Season 1 and should allow the characters to forge a new path, while still maintaining the things we enjoyed the most: intrigue, friendship and (especially) romance.
A lot has changed in the three months since Vincent has been swept away by helicopter. We can only begin to guess what happened to him while he was gone, so let's attack what we do know first:
Cat's dad never fully recovered and died a month prior to the events of the premiere. Heather has still been harboring the secret she learned about she and Cat not sharing the same father, allowing Cat to grieve the loss of her dad once and will, apparently, let her do it again when she tells her the news later on down the line.
That seems a little bit harsh. Surely Heather has had some time to drag Cat aside and tell her. The premise seems to be that Cat has been too busy to bother with her sister while she searched for Vincent. That is probably my one issue with the resetting - Cat wouldn't have stopped caring about her family to focus solely on Vincent. She lost her father; that's a big deal. She would have found some time for Heather.
Cat was able to revive Gabe after he was killed, which somehow killed the beast in him. They brushed over that secondary information rather quickly, but there seems to be hope that the beast within Vincent can be killed, as well. Or, at least he could have been before they found him in the state he's in now.
Gabe has taken over Joe's position at the precinct and he's the man in charge. Joe's obsession with finding his brother's killer was apparently is downfall, which left a job open for Gabe and cleared the romantic entanglement that didn't feel right with Tess. Tess needed to breathe and find a man of her own, not carry on an affair with a married one. Good riddance, Joe!
Gabe has been trying to do his job and help Cat and J.T. find Vincent. Of course he has turned sides and become a good guy; we never really doubted it, did we? Now he has the knowledge of what a beast can do, but without the urges to turn himself. He can be a great ally for the cause.
That essentially leaves us with Vincent. And VinCat. We saw Cat's birth father was the man who took Vincent away, and he seems to have enhanced and reprogrammed him. How he accomplished that is unclear. When we caught up with Vincent, he was in the hands of Li Zhao, the mastermind behind the beasts. He did not know how far Vincent had come and believed he had the upper hand. The new, improved Vincent discredited him in short order.
Not only has Vincent lost his scar, he's lost the ability to heal himself, recognize himself and recall his past. His "skills" are notably improved. He's faster, stronger and his senses are extremely heightened. The changes make his vision alteration seem like a drop in the ocean.
One thing seems not to have changed, and that is his instinct to protect Cat above all else. Despite working for Cat's father (who Vincent recognizes as "Condor"), he allowed Li Zhao to escape when Cat's life was in danger. He saved her life first. That's when Cat knew things would be alright - they are meant to be together. Somehow, even without an understanding of himself or his past, Vincent seems intrigued by this "smokin' hot" woman in front of him and he has lost the inhibitions the old Vincent had when it came to getting close with the opposite sex.
VinCat shared their first kiss - again - receiving an animal-like grunt of approval from Vincent, and Cat finally crumbled in relief at having him back in her life. She doesn't need him to remember her because her faith in their love goes beyond everything else. Any doubts she had before are gone. She is willing to wait for Vincent and believe in him, and it's obvious he's interested.
Cat: Bright side: In the meantime, we get to fall in love with each other all over again.
Vincent: What makes you so sure we will?
Cat: Cause we don't have a choice. I told you - we're meant to be.
Vincent: You really believe that, don't you?
Cat: I do. And you do, too. You just don't remember it yet. | permalink
Inspired thoughts:
- For the first time, J.T. was frightened of Vincent. That was a sobering thought. He had been concerned about Cat's safety in the past, but seeing him break a sweat when facing Vincent on his own was upsetting.
- With Tess a free agent, and two hot, eligible bachelors on the table (I'm talking about J.T. and Gabe!), who would you most like to see her dabble with? Her chemistry with J.T. last season was undeniable, right?
- Cat's father seems to know everything about her life - at least enough to keep her and her friends safe while still engaging Vincent. How long do you think that will last?
- VinCat's kiss wasn't quite what we were used to by last season's standards, but with that little grunt we heard, can you even imagine the heat and tingles they'll be throwing down the first time something more passionate comes across our screens?
- Did you think Vincent's jumping from a tree near Li Zhao's mauling meant his being the killer was a foregone conclusion, or was it a red herring?

I really enjoy that show, but boo for the CW for airing it on Monday night after the Heart of Dixie (Show that had a worst rating to begin with). How are you going to assist B&B gate back on track if you air it after such a lame show. I really like the turn around between Vincent and Cat, but I am hoping to see his unconditional love for her again soon. I can not wait to discover everything about her real dad and to see Vincent overcome their mind control of him. Will be watching every Monday, but really pissed off about the first show. If you had put the Original and then B&B that would have been awesome Joseph Morgan and Jay Ryan in one evening...;) By the way Gabe used to be Evil and selfish....is up to something I think.
Cat is so sure of Vincent...I am actually not that much, he seems more far than ever...I didn't hear the "grunt" ...and I mean, he is still a man/animal, so instincts could explain that reaction. I am not sure he is feeling what Cat wants him to feel...
I am intrigued by Cat's father...let's see!
Fantástico CapÃtulo 1 de la temporada 2 de "Beauty and the Beast". Misterioso, intrigante, inquietante... Quién no se ha preguntado alguna vez ¿â€Quién soy yo†realmente?, o ¿Quién es el otro?: novio, amigo, compañero de trabajo ... ¿Quién no ha tenido dudas acerca de su vida, sus decisiones, sus elecciones vitales... Es oscuro, es intenso, es una hermosa serie. Si la ves por encima te da "entretenimientoâ€, si la ves en profundidad te genera "inquietudâ€. Durante la primera temporada de "Beauty and the beastâ€, todos los capÃtulos tuvieron diversión y emoción, además de sorpresa. Esta segunda temporada, con este estupendo primer capÃtulo, parece ofrecer todo esto y mucho más; han añadido oscuridad y misterio; desasosiego y agitación que nos afecta a todos cuando dudamos acerca de quiénes somos y de cómo es nuestra vida. Excelente. Emocionante. Un gran trabajo de todo el equipo #BatB. Enhorabuena.
OOPS- I am looking forward to seeing how the stories of Jt, Tess and yes- Gabe develop. I think the Gabe storyline is important for all involved. So bottom line- I vote for Tess and JT. Makes the most sense. Gabe is a hottie but enough of Tess with her superiors. She deserves better.
Writers keep it together and keep the storylines cohesive and tight. No awkward dialogue and inconsistencies with details. Devoted fans notice when things are not right! So fellow beasties- unite. Unite by WATCHING THE SHOW. After all, it is about the ratings. Holla back- yall. Maryland Gal
It is great to be back, talking with fellow beasties. This opening episode with BATB made up for the lackluster finale of season 1. This by far was probably one of the best episodes for me. And it is only show one!!! There is not enough room on just one posting for me to get my thoughts back. All the best of this show appeared from lst season- loyalty,friendship and that love story. Those ridiculously/wonderfully romantic leads of Kristin and Jay. There is so much magic there- what chemistry they have. I cannot wait to see how the characters find their way back. I wrote in last posting that I want to see the longing come back for one another. That sizzling hot physical side of them as well. I gotta feeling we are gonna see that- since Vincent's "filters" are off- he's already called her "smokin hot" (which she is). Ultimately, it comes down to the writing of the show. The writers have gotten their act together with this show. Great job! I cannot wait to see where all the stories will go- with Tess, JT and yes- Gabe. I am glad they kept him. Very important role. so- now we all have to vote for the show by WATCHING it. ( I vote for JT with Tess!!! Holla back - y'all.
I watched the preview of the second episode and even though it sounds interesting and want to find out what's up with this new Vincent 2.0. I dont know but I found the episode is focusing more on Vin/Cat relationship more than the case of the week. I mean if this show this season is going to focus just on the love relationship of Vin/Cat and not add a case of the week each episode, sorry I will pass and change the channel. I dont want to see a soap opera of a police show. It wil get the ratings lower if the pattern will continue through the entire season. I need action, drama and yes some love here and there but not make it the focus on each episode. in that case I will watch a real soap opera.

Django-live-profiler is a low-overhead data access and code profiler for Django-based applications. Profiling Web applications on a development environment often produces misleading results due to different patterns in the data, different patterns in user behavior, and differences in infrastructure. All existing DB access profiling solutions for Django seem to focus on a single request, but in the real world certain queries might be negligible in a single request while still putting a considerable strain the database across all requests. Django-live-profiler aims to solve these issues by collecting database usage data from a live application.
Embedded Profiler is low-overhead C++ profiler based on automatic instrumentation of functions done by the compiler (GCC, MinGW, or MSVC). Profiling can be done either automatically or manually. Automatic profiling generates a complete call tree and needs no modification of code. Manual profiling requires using the EProfiler API to specify the parts of code to be profiled. The resulting log can be opened in Performance Analyzer, a GUI application with several views designed for comfortable log analysis.
Zorka is a sophisticated programmable profiling/monitoring agent for Java suitable for running with production applications. The agent integrates seamlessly with popular monitoring systems and protocols (Zabbix, Nagios, syslog, SNMP) and offers additional tracing/profiling capabilities that - along with the accompanying data collector - help with spotting performance issues and general problems. The agent also exposes JMX data to conventional monitoring systems. Platforms (more or less) supported out of the box include: JBoss 4/5/6/7, Wildfly 8, Tomcat 6/7/8, Jetty 6/7/8/9, Websphere, Weblogic, GlassFish 4.0, WSO2 ESB, Mule ESB, and Jasig CAS. There is also dedicated support for the popular Java libraries Spring, Quartz, CXF, and Axis 1.x. The agent should run on most other platforms with limited functionalities (that is, lack of support for platform-specific features). It works with JDK6, JDK7, and JDK8. JDK5 support is also possible after preprocessing the agent binary with retrotranslator. Functionality can be easily added by implementing simple BSH scripts.

In the hours leading up to the Professional Convention Management Association's 2012 Convening Leaders conference in San Diego, the word on the street was that PCMA had made a gutsy decision to blow up its opening general session and rebuild it from the ground up.
The word on the street didn't lie, and the result was a session design that pointed the way for planners who want to make their conferences more relevant for the organizations that host them, and more compelling for the participants who attend.
Over the last few years, the industry has finally begun to abandon an approach to session content that relied far too little on substance and far too much on professional speakers with no particular subject specialty. But opening sessions still tend to follow a familiar, tired plan:
The organization tries to pump participants up with motivational messaging and heavy musical beats. … The stage lights come up, and the CEO (or chair or president) talks about the challenges facing the industry (or association or profession) and the giant strides the organization has taken to address them. … A generic motivational keynote delivers predictable anecdotes and formulaic advice that are sure to propel participants to ever greater heights of success. … And, if there's a foundation, you can expect a fundraising pitch.
Very little of that describes the opening session at PCMA.
The association's first gutsy decision was to move organizational messaging out of the opening and into a town hall that took place on the last morning of the conference. Board Chairwoman Susan Katz appeared for two or three minutes, mainly to thank the sponsors. If anything, Katz and the other dignitaries spent too little time on stage. Their job was clearly to introduce the speakers and get out of the way.
And, oh, the speakers. Molecular biologist Dr. John Medina brought insights directly from the lab to suggest strategies for making conference sessions more brain-friendly. Gamification pioneer Jane McGonigal described a project that used a scavenger hunt—probably the most basic of game formats—to build a powerful legacy for the New York Public Library's centennial.
The third keynote was fluffier, but the overall effect was an opening that walked the talk. A colleague commented afterward that many meeting and event associations spend their general session time talking up the value of meetings and the importance of solid content. At those moments, as an industry, we're very good at reassuring ourselves how very good we think we are at what we do. Refreshingly, PCMA spoke with actions rather than words.
That's a good thing, because ours is the only industry where state-of-the-art general session design is worth demonstrating in the session itself. A surgical society or an architecture institute might use or adapt those techniques, but they have no need to convey them to members. The connection is more direct for our associations because meetings are our business, and it was great to see PCMA embrace the opportunity.

Israel-based Oramed announced that it has sent an application to the Food and Drug Administration for permission to enter Phase 2 trials of its oral insulin product. The company has been working on developing a means of delivering insulin orally, which would allow people with diabetes to avoid having to inject themselves with the hormone.
If the FDA gives the go ahead, Oramed will conduct a 12-month trial and 10 different locations across the United States. The test will involve 147 type 2 diabetes patients who will be divided into three groups: one receiving placebo and two who will take the Oramed drug at different dosage levels.
Developing an insulin that can be taken orally has been a long-sought goal among pharmaceutical companies. Because of the hormone's delicate molecular structure, the problem has been to find a way to shield it from the corrosive effects of the digestive system's highly acidic environment and deliver it intact to the bloodstream.
Although type 2 diabetes patients who use insulin benefit from extremely thin needle technology that has taken much of the sting and pain out of injections, an oral form of the hormone would remove all pain from the dosing process as well as eliminate the cost of needles and syringes.
The company also announced that it is ready to begin testing its oral exenatide product on type 2 patients, with results expected by the end of the first quarter of this year. Exenatide, a GLP-1 analog, is the basis of the popular and widely used brand-name drugs Byetta and Bydureon (Amylin Pharmaceuticals). Both drugs are taken by injection; Byetta twice daily and Bydureon once weekly.
Oramed is also experimenting with a therapy that combines oral insulin and oral exenatide. The company presented preliminary results of the therapy at the scientific sessions of the American Diabetes Association last June, saying the two drugs provided greater benefits working together rather than by themselves.

Tecumseh Public Library
Branch Manager Susan Goldsberry to be honored at retirement reception
Since beginning her library career three decades ago, Susan Goldsberry has seen many things change inside the library's walls.
One that hasn't is her dedication to service as a fixture at the Tecumseh Public Library.
She will soon be going in a new direction in her life as Goldsberry, the library's Branch Manager for nearly a decade, has announced her retirement effective this month.
She will be honored for her efforts at a come-and-go reception from 2 to 4 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 24, at the library, 114 N. Broadway. All members of the community are invited.
Goldsberry began her career with the Pioneer Library System is 1982, working continuously with the system since that time except for a brief stint working at St. Gregory's University in Shawnee.
She has been the Branch Manager at the Tecumseh Public Library since December of 2004, when she replaced Jan Anthony.
During her tenure as branch manager, the library has grown in circulation to more than 20,000 items owned, almost double the amount from when she took over as branch manager. The library serves nearly 6,000 cardholders, quite an accomplishment in a city that actually had a population of 6,457 at the 2010 Census.
For more information on her retirement reception, or any of the programs and services at the library, call 598-5955

Quintilla Geer Bruton Archive in Plant City
I was at the Archive Center, this week and found that they have the "full" Ancestry.com in the computer room.
The Ancestry program had more features than the version in the Hillsborough County libraries and more than what was available at the Family History Center.
They changed their hours as well. They are Tuesday 10 am - 5 pm, Wednesday through Saturday 1 pm - 5 pm. Closed Sunday and Monday. The Archive Center is still in the old high school basement at 605 No. Collins St. in Plant City. The nice lady at the desk said it is best to call [813-754-7031] in case the volunteer can't come in on a scheduled day to open the place. Plus the parking is easy.

In reading the other review I never thought of sharpening and or heating it. That may have helped. I do quite a bit of fingerboard replacements and my first choice is actually a Behr Spatula. It is thick enough so you can provide some power behind it. This one seems a little thin for that but is good for getting the separation started and edges. Have not had an opportunity to try it on an acoustic bridge.
Worked very well after sharpening it on a whetstone. Prior to sharpening, it was like using a putty knife. Great flexibility. Sharpen and heat with a hairdryer and your bridge will be on your workbench in short order.

Assuming that there are two addon domains on the same server: /public_html/domain1.com and /public_html/domain2.com
I try to load XML file from domain2.com into domain1.com without using cross-domain policy file (since it doesn't work on xml files in my case).
So the idea is to use php file in order to load XML and read it back to flash.
I've found an interesting scripts that seems to do the job but unfortunately I can't get it to work. In my opinion there is somewhere problem with AS3 part. Please take a look.
Here are the AS3/PHP scripts:
AS3 (.swf in www.domain1.com):
// location of the xml that you would like to load, full http address
var xmlLoc:String = "http://www.domain2.com/MyFile.xml";
// location of the php xml grabber file, in relation to the .swf
var phpLoc:String = "loadXML.php";
var xml:XML;
var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest(phpLoc+"?location="+escape(xmlLoc) );
loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onXMLLoaded);
loader.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, onIOErrorHandler);
function onIOErrorHandler(e:IOErrorEvent):void {
trace("There was an error with the xml file "+e);
function onXMLLoaded(e:Event):void {
trace("the rss feed has been loaded");
xml = new XML(loader.data);
// set to string, since it is passed back from php as an object
xml = XML(xml.toString());
xml_txt.text = xml;
PHP (loadXML.php in www.domain1.com):
header("Content-type: text/xml");
$location = "";
if(isset($_GET["location"])) {
$location = $_GET["location"];
$location = urldecode($location);
$xml_string = getData($location);
// pass the url encoded vars back to Flash
echo $xml_string;
//cURLs a URL and returns it
function getData($query) {
// create curl resource
$ch = curl_init();
// cURL url
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $query);
//Set some necessary params for using CURL
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
//Execute the curl function, and decode the returned JSON data
$result = curl_exec($ch);
return $result;
// close curl resource to free up system resources
Do you get either of the two traces from your swf functions? If you get the one from the onXMLLoaded function, have you traced the loader.data? If you get the one from the onIOErrorHandler function, is the swf file in the same folder as the html page that embeds it?
I get trace from onIOErrorHandler function.
The swf file is in the same folder as the html page that embeds it (I've also tested .swf file without embedding)
What is the trace you get from the onIOErrorHandler?
There was an error with the xml file [IOErrorEvent type="ioError" bubbles=false cancelable=false eventPhase=2 text="Error #2032: Stream error. URL: http://domain1.com/loadXML.php?location=http%3A//www.domain2.com/list.xml"]
I just recreated your scenario using your code as shown and the textfield displayed the xml file contents as expected.
You might need to look into the permissions for your php file or the settings on your server (I am assuming you are testing on a server - if not, do so).
Sometimes the easiest way to reconcile a problem is to limit the number of variables in it that are possible contributors. In your case, you could have the php file echo simple text instead of trying to load the xml file and see if that displays. If the php file doesn't echo the simple text, then the problem lies in something with your php file, though I would say it is not the code in the file unless your server uses an older version of php than your code.
I think you might be right about permissions/settings on the server for php. Unfortunately I'm not allowed to adjust them.
So I wrote my own script - this time I used file path instead of http address of the XML file. It works fine in my case.
Here it is:
XML file on domain2.com:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<image imagePath="galleries/gallery_1/images/1.jpg" thumbPath="galleries/gallery_1/thumbs/1.jpg" file_name= "1"> </image>
<image imagePath="galleries/gallery_1/images/2.jpg" thumbPath="galleries/gallery_1/thumbs/2.jpg" file_name= "2"> </image>
<image imagePath="galleries/gallery_1/images/3.jpg" thumbPath="galleries/gallery_1/thumbs/3.jpg" file_name= "3"> </image>
swf on domain1.com:
var imagesXML:XML;
var variables:URLVariables = new URLVariables();
var varURL:URLRequest = new URLRequest("MyPHPfile.php");
varURL.method = URLRequestMethod.POST;
varURL.data = variables;
var MyLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader;
MyLoader.dataFormat =URLLoaderDataFormat.VARIABLES;
MyLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, XMLDone);
function XMLDone(event:Event):void {
var imported_XML:Object = event.target.data.imported_XML;
imagesXML = new XML(imported_XML);
MyTextfield_1.text = imagesXML;

Specific recognition of mRNA targets by RNA binding proteins in Pseudomonas fluorescens CHA0.
Pseudomonas fluorescens CHA0 is a rhizosphere bacterium that protects the roots of host plants against pathogenic fungi by synthesizing diverse extracellular products such as antibiotics, exoproteases and hydrogen cyanide. The biosynthesis of these biocontrol compounds is strictly regulated by a "quorum sensing" two-component system, GacS/GacA.
At low cell density, the expression of the biocontrol compounds biosynthetic genes are repressed at the post-transcriptional level by two RNA binding proteins RsmA and RsmE. When the cellular density increases, the GacS/GacA system is activated and induces the transcription of three small noncoding regulatory RNAs (RsmX, Y and Z). These sRNAs capture the translational repressor proteins RsmA and RsmE thereby allowing the translation and production of the antifungal biocontrol compounds.
We are investigating the binding specificity between Rsm proteins and mRNAs of various biocontrol compounds indirectly regulated by GacA. We are also studying the binding equilibrium between the Rsm proteins-sRNAs and Rsm proteins-mRNA.

The Runt of the Litter
It has been an interesting week - and speaking for myself I am eternally grateful for the approaching end of the 24/7 coverage of the royals. The royal wedding, the queen, Lady Diana, the giant crazy hats, Billy and Kate and the wedding gown. Sheesh. For gosh sakes they've been flatmates for years. It's about time that fella made an honest woman of her.
Over the years my pal Braumeister and I have discussed this nonsense of the royal family at length and our conclusion is that we kicked King George and his family out of this country more than 200 years ago for good reason.
Renovations nearly complete at former Drew's building in Wauwatosa
The redevelopment of Wauwatosa's former Drew's Variety Store building, 7503-7509 Harwood Ave., is nearly complete.
Renovations at the 8,400-square-foot building, which has been largely vacant for three years since Drew's closed, will be completed by early June, according to its owner, Sustainable Properties Inc. The work includes new energy-efficient windows, and a boardwalk with outdoor seating.
Realities of Texting and Driving
Do you think it is okay to look at your phone for 4 to 6 seconds so that you can read or type even a portion of a text message? Do you think it would be okay to close your eyes and continue to drive for 4 to 6 seconds? They both have the same effect, your eyes are off the road and we all know what can happen on the road in the literal blink of an eye.
Please take the time to watch this powerful video documentary prepared by AT&T.
Maybe in time for the next election. . .
My younger daughter does not have a driver's license. Why is the subject of various family legends. But if you asked me, I'd say it was because the kids split the cost of driver's education with me, and it wasn't a high enough priority for Liz. She's careful with her money.
But that's another story. A week before her 21st birthday and in preparation for the time-honored Wisconsin rite of passage, the first legal drink, she decided to get a bona fide Wisconsin ID card. And there the tale begins.
The first battle for a nondriver who lives on a college campus is getting to the Department of Motor Vehicles. Those of us who've been driving forever have sampled the locations and know which ones to avoid. But the vehicle-less aren't choosers in this world. A nondriver is stuck with the site closest to the bus line--in my daughter's case, the last one most of us would choose if we had to renew our licenses or take a test.
Accordingly, Liz waited a long time in a less than pleasant environment to show the clerk the identification she had brought: birth certificate, student ID, passport, and checkbook with her address.
Seems more than adequate? Does to me. But there's a Catch 22. In order to get an official state ID, some of the staff believe you need to have an official state ID. After a long debate, a supervisor finally agreed to accept her identification verification.
In 10 days or so, she might get the ID. Barring any further glitches. Not in time for the birthday--maybe in time for the next election.
Right now, there's a bill in the state legislature to require photo IDs for voting. Those who oppose it agree with Rep. Kelda Roys of Madison, who says that voter fraud is rare and that the bill "disenfranchises the poor, elderly, minorities, and students."
Liz's experience refutes the claims that it's no bother to get an ID. In fact, it's a significant undertaking.
As far as I know, the Constitution assures Liz the right to vote. It does not say she has the right to vote--as long as she has a driver's license. Contrary to the claims of people like supporter Alberta Darling, this law effectively puts a damper on those would-be voters.
Meanwhile, I'll hope that if Liz decided to celebrate her birthday the way many do, with a drink in a bar with friends, she found one that accepted her passport and birth certificate.
It would have been a lot easier to get a fake ID. Perhaps the enterprising will begin selling them to the other disenfranchisees. I can't say I'd blame them for trying. But I do blame the legislators who pretend that this bill is not designed to keep people from voting legitimately. That will certainly be its effect.

With gas pump prices at an all-time high, you might think that even the most diehard road and car enthusiasts might back off of their anti-mass transit positions. But no, here is the latest news I received from Kerry Thomas of Transit Now:

The Garden Chronicles
Less than three weeks ago there was four inches of snow on the ground and it had been raining incessantly. The month of April posted record amounts of precipitation on the the Door Peninsula.
It has finally dried-out sufficiently to begin prepping the garden.
Mom's the word
Mother's Day is about the mother you have, should you still have one, more than it is about the mother you are, should you be one. But maybe we should shift the emphasis.
Unless your mother was from the Mommie Dearest school of mental illness and depravity, chances are you are painting her in the light of near sainthood today. This is the day we pay homage to the best in our mothers, and with generosity forget about the rest. Since I no longer have a living mother, I've been ruminating about what it means to become a mother worthy of the real and ritual forgetting of the faults, heaping of the fond memories, putting aside of the wrongs done.
My mom was a wonderful woman, no doubt about it. Still, she had her quirks. Reverse snobbery was one. It came from protectiveness, but she was deeply distrusting of my friends who came from wealthy, highly educated families. She didn't want anybody to hurt or think they were better than her beloved cubs. I try to remember this when the Sarah Palins of the world sneer at the articulate and well-informed. Or when I fall into my own deep distrust of those who claim authority or superiority over me.
Mom was also a master of the freeze. She could go silent for weeks. Anyone who lives with a cold shoulderer knows how awful that can be.
Still, my own in-the-thick-of-it failings were much worse than Mom's. One bedroom door is tattered and warped from a crazy period when I couldn't handle stress, when I felt alone in the world, when I reacted with "wooden swearing:" the slamming of doors.
Since I am sometimes a little oblivious, the universe has taken to delivering messages in odd ways. Once a postcard fell from the sky into my hands. A house in the neighborhood had exploded, and I just happened to be walking by at the time. Today a book fell from the bookcase, knocking me ever so slightly upside the head.The title: How to Behave So Your Children Will, Too.
It was clear enough whose behavior is on the line here: Mom's. In this case, mine.
If I live to be as old as my parents, I've got nearly 30 years to get it right. Or at least more right. A few decades to deserve the title Mother and the flowers and brunches that go with it.
Thanks, Mom, for being flawed and wonderful, a whole person. For showing us how to love and how to keep growing for as long as we have in this beautiful, difficult, world. And for sending me messages now and then, in whatever ways they appear.

UCLA student writes thesis on Spain's transit security
By Charlotte Hsu, DAILY BRUIN SENIOR STAFF
Images of the March 11 bombings that tore through Madrid's subways in 2004 brought urban planning graduate student Rachel Factor to tears. Her Spain, where she lived for over 10 months, was one of oceans and family dinners at midnight, a far cry from the blood and desperation that caught the world's attention a year ago today.
"I was so upset," Factor said.
While government leaders originally blamed the Basque separatist group ETA for the terror that killed nearly 200, investigations indicate al-Qaeda masterminded it. Spaniards, already strongly against the U.S. war with Iraq, voted the incumbent party out of office days after the bombings.
As Spain and the international community mark the attack's first anniversary, Factor is remembering it in her own way.
She went to Barcelona and Madrid last year to do field work for a thesis on transit security, interviewing transportation officials there.
Those discussions were also documented in a project sponsored by San Jose State University's Mineta Transportation Institute and UCLA's International Institute and the Burkle Center for International Relations on transit security worldwide. The report is complete, and team members are waiting for comments from reviewers before publishing it, said Anastasia Loukaitou-Sideris, chair of urban planning at UCLA and a principal researcher.
Remembering anti-war protests where hundreds of thousands poured into Barcelona's streets, Factor said the March 11 attack was devastating because the people paid with their lives for a war they did not want. For her, the study of Spain's public transportation is a pursuit both intellectual and deeply personal.
Spanish officials knew how ETA operated – members of the group would call beforehand to report when and where explosives would go off, Loukaitou-Sideris said.
The government got used to that type of threat, mastering emergency evacuations and thorough searches, she said.
So March 11 came as a devastating surprise.
Factor's thesis compares Barcelona and Madrid's rail systems, examining security and reactions to last year's attacks.
She said stations in the capital have started making announcements about safety to passengers and are hiring more police and requiring staff to wear reflective vests to increase visibility.
Factor said she learned in a recent conversation that Madrid's transit managers would begin a campaign asking riders to report suspicious activity, a measure they hesitated to take because they didn't want to alarm people.
Barcelona's response to March 11 offers a sharp contrast, partly because the bombings did not happen there, Factor said.
"Nothing happened as a reaction," she said.
Differences in funding – Madrid's systems are much richer than Barcelona's – could also account for some of the divergence, she added.
In at least one instance, northern officials outright rejected methods used in the capital to create a safer environment.
At some Madrid stops, employees have begun choosing individuals to screen, Factor said. Barcelona executives were concerned the checks, similar to those conducted at airports, would lead to racial profiling or other discrimination, she said.
"They said they would never pick random people," she said.
Loukaitou-Sideris said conclusions from the wider study mirrored many of Factor's findings. Graduate students visited Paris, Tokyo and other metropolitan areas to conduct interviews.
After Sept. 11, security focus shifted to airports and planes, leaving a gap with regard to systems like railways, Loukaitou-Sideris said.
"These transit systems are so open and inherently vulnerable that they cannot be closed and secured like the airports," she said. "We really need to start looking at other options."
Researchers will send the Mineta and International Institute-sponsored study to everyone they interviewed, as well as leaders in federal transportation agencies.
Factor said that while transit managers have begun meeting frequently with government and security officials, few decisions have been made because so little time has passed.
"There were a lot of things they didn't know," she said.
A commonality between Barcelona and Madrid is the balance between building new stations and funding renovation of the old ones.
Factor's research revolves around environmental design, which focuses on making rail systems inviting and less prone to terrorism and crime.
Stops with fewer entrances and shorter pathways are easier to patrol, she said. The tops of ticket machines and other surfaces should be slanted so packages can't be left on them. Shadows should be minimized and lighting enhanced. Screens that broadcast station activity to passengers would also help.
"It's going to be super expensive, really inconvenient and just difficult," Factor said. "You're going to stop a lot of traffic."
While measures can reduce crime and make people more comfortable, total prevention is not realistic, she said. As one official told her, "The truth is that you can't do anything."
Jordi Ortega, a Barcelona native, said when he and Factor met on an intercontinental flight last November, they were "two people that were in a very different moment in life."
Factor was on her way home after researching in Spain, and he was chasing a life and career in California, where he works as a news producer for Univision Los Angeles.
But their first conversation lasted the entire trip, including the stopovers. They talked about Factor's study, and found that while a world apart in terms of their backgrounds, they had been touched by the same events.
On March 11, 2004, Ortega was in the United States following the television interviews and coverage.
"You could tell it was the average person in Spain that was in the middle of this scene, without knowing why, without being guilty of anything," he said.
"I was remembering how people talk, how people behave in their thinking. Madrid is a city that despite being a capital is so welcoming. If you ask someone for directions in the street, they will take you – honestly, they will take you to the place."
Ortega believes work like Factor's is vital to policy, which should be based on fact and not on politicians' whims.
Both he and Factor said they were disappointed with the Spanish government's initial reaction to the attacks and confused by press claims that ETA was the perpetrator.
"I knew right away," Factor said. "I just knew it had nothing to do with ETA. ... I knew too much about the history."
They both thought about the commuters who used the trains to get from the outskirts of Madrid to work and school in the city center. They thought about the university students and the immigrants who rode the rails.
Ortega said talking to Factor helped him realize what a subway is: a place where people come together, exposing themselves to strangers of varied ethnicities and walks of life, sharing a train with neighbors and travellers from overseas.
"You can really see what your country looks like," he said. "It's much easier to understand."

Got the Xbox 360 1 red ring? Want it to be fixed? This error is caused by heat, and is not easy to fix. And for this reason, many people will tell you to send it over to Microsoft, and pay $ 150 or use your warranty. Well, I don't recommend you to do that. Microsoft caused the problem and now they want you to pay for it… Big time… No way!
Ok, so now you know how the Xbox 360 1 red ring problem exists, you should be able to fix it pretty easy… Right?
Well… Not! In fact, this problem is the toughest of all the errors that your console can get. But, this doesn't mean that you can't repair it. It's high likely that you'll have to open up your console, but there are a few tips where that's not necessary to do.
1) Restart your console.
2) Check for loose cables.
3) Unplug all cables except the power cord, and plug them back in.
4) Take out the hard-drive, and put it back in.
If these tips didn't fix the Xbox 360 1 red ring, then you've basically got 2 options left…
You either send your console over to Microsoft, or you will actually open up your console, and fix the Xbox 360 1 red ring by yourself with the help from a repair guide.
Send my console to Microsoft?
We both know that sending it to Microsoft is expensive and time consuming… Right? You'll have to pay $ 150 if your warranty has been expired and you'll have to wait for 2-6 weeks for the repairs to be finished… So you'd better want to avoid this option.
The only way to avoid this, is to actually fix it yourself with the help from a Xbox 360 Repair Guide.

How many people voted in Calhoun County? How did they divide for and against the amendment? The Star didn't say. The closest it came to election coverage was, "At most of the polling places, Tuesday didn't look like an election day" (Sept. 19, Page 1A).
Too much coverage?
In August, The Star published a story about a candidate for mayor of Piedmont who fathered a child with an underage girl. The incident happened in California eight years ago. No legal charges were filed against him, although the incident appeared to be contrary to California law. The candidate was quoted in the article admitting the truth of the story. At the time, this column questioned the fairness of running such a story during the final days of the election.
In September, The Star continued to write about the incident in two stories and added another incident concerning the same person. All the stories were by Eddie Burkhalter, who is news editor of The Piedmont Journal as well as a Star staff writer.
A front-page story Sept. 11 reported that the candidate, who lost the election, had been dismissed from his position as a Piedmont police officer. The story described the California incident, although the Piedmont police spokesman was quoted as saying the dismissal was not related to that incident. The story also described a Facebook message that the man may have sent to a 17-year-old girl. He was quoted as saying he did write the message but claimed it was to another woman and had been sent to the girl and to "numerous people" by the actions of "a friend."
On Sept. 14, The Star carried a story about a former mayor of Piedmont who supported the candidate in his campaign for mayor. This story also repeated The Star's report on the California incident.
Asked about The Star's coverage of this story, Star Editor Bob Davis said in an email that by seeking public office, the person had become a public figure and "therefore open to scrutiny by the news media." He said The Star learned about the California incident and "… we reported what we knew. This was important news for voters …"
About the continued stories about the incident following the election, Davis wrote, "… we learned the officer was under investigation by the police department. It seems to us that subsequent stories demand adding relevant context of this public figure."
The Star had a strong case for running the original story on the California incident. The case for repeating the story in two other articles after the election is weaker. The election is over; the story has been told. Repeating it twice again seems almost vindictive. Should The Star have published the story about the Facebook message? Possibly, although this incident was less thoroughly investigated than the California story. This matter could have been discussed without running the salacious details of the message.
Award winner
The Star received important national recognition for its opinion writing in September. The Society for Opinion Journalists named editor Bob Davis as Opinion Writer of the Year for publications of less than 100,000 circulation. The judges considered Davis' columns and Star editorials. Remarkably, Davis won the same award last year (Sept. 23, 1A).
Covering colleges
Readers of Star sports pages have noticed that Alabama and Auburn football games are no longer covered by Star reporters assigned to those universities. They are now covered by sportswriters from such papers as The Decatur Daily, the Columbus (Ga.) Ledger-Enquirer and The Tuscaloosa News. Star columnist Joe Medley continues to write about the state's major teams. Asked about the changes, Star editor Bob Davis said by email that, "The Star is working with other newspapers covering Alabama and Auburn in a sort of loose cooperative. We share content in a move that I believe helps each newspaper maximize the coverage each can devote to these teams' exploits."
It sounds good, but how does it work? What does The Star contribute to the loose cooperative? Medley's articles are shared with the papers providing The Star with Alabama and Auburn news.
A different Monday
The Star edition published Monday, Sept. 24, was printed on paper that was whiter and heavier than usual. Coincidence, or a bow to history for the last Monday Star?

Is there salt in the tank?
Has it been suing salt?
I have a model 50 Kinetico system.
Just yesterday I noticed i'm no longer gettting soft water.
I used a test strip to check and it's definitely hard.
I then ran the water long enough for the system to switch
tanks and checked with a strip again. No soft water.
I had a similar issue 2 years ago. In that case, I would get
soft water only from one tank. When it switched to the other
I would get hard water. Switch again and I would get soft
water. Turned out that the tube that goes down the center of the
tank had snapped a couple of the tines in the tank that would give
hard water. Had both tanks replaced and all was fine.
Now, I get hard water from both tanks.
Is there something easy I can check to see why i'm not getting
soft water?
Is there salt in the tank?
Has it been suing salt?
Does it suck brine when in regeneration?
Click Here to learn how to correctly size or program a water softener.
CAUTION, as of Nov 12 2013 all YouTube videos showing how to rebuild a Clack valve have an error in them that can cause damage.
There is definitely salt in the tank.
I just noticed this problem yesterday so I don't know if it sucks brine. It has been using salt as I added some just over a week
ago. As for sucking brine, I'll have to force a tank switch to check.
I will keep track of the salt usage.
If you put the unit into a brine/rinse cycle, you can disconnect the brine line from the valve and feel if it is drawing. If it is, switch to the other tank to see if it is drawing on that tank. There will be water coming out of the brine connection when you change tanks. If you have a draw on both tanks, check to see if it is metering by opening up a faucet inside the house and watch the no back pawl. You should see it ride up one tooth of the meter disc and drop into the slot of the next one. i have exploded views of the internal parts. If you need one, drop me an email ans I'll send it to you.
OK, I just regenerated twice. water is being sucked out of the tank and being replenished
Couldn't tell if the pawl moved at all (these old eyes don't work as good as they used to.

This report offers a retrospective of the Oriental Institute's seventy-fifth year. On October 7, 1994 we marked that seventy-fifth anniversary with a gala benefit dinner. Robert McCormick Adams, former Director of the Oriental Institute and Secretary Emeritus of the Smithsonian Institution, was the keynote speaker for the occasion, and we are pleased to reprint his remarks following this introduction. Some three hundred members and friends of the Institute attended the anniversary celebration, a truly memorable occasion. This past year, however, was memorable in many other respects as well.
Research at the Oriental Institute continued to flourish. Archaeological field expeditions conducted excavations and surveys in Yemen, a study season at Göltepe in Turkey, and surveys in Syria, Iran, and Egypt. Meanwhile, here in Chicago, plans were made for expeditions in the coming year to the Amuq Plain, Aqaba, and Yaqush. Work continued on the publication of excavations at Nippur, Chogha Mish, and Sweyhat, and of the objects from Medinet Habu. A new project, funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities, was launched to publish the important assemblage of small finds from excavations in the Diyala Valley, Iraq. The Epigraphic Survey was in Luxor for its seventy-first season, reinvigorated by the publication of the first great portfolio on Luxor Temple, The Festival Procession of Opet in the Colonnade Hall. Both the Assyrian Dictionary and the Hittite Dictionary Projects received two-year renewals of their grants from the National Endowment for the Humanities, and along with the Demotic Dictionary, continue to make good progress on these fundamental resources for scholarship. As you can judge from the individual reports in this volume, faculty and staff scholarship also continues to be a rich and stimulating part of research at the Institute.
I know that some of you are concerned about the status of funding for research and research support units such as the Research Archives and the Computer Laboratory. I wish to assure everyone that the research mission of the Oriental Institute has not changed. Although the Legacy Campaign for our building project is our top, and only, capital improvement priority, we continue to seek funding for research from a variety of sources. Normally this task falls most heavily on the shoulders of research project directors, who submit proposals to federal agencies and private foundations that support research. However, in the future, after the Legacy Campaign is brought to a successful conclusion, the Institute's Development Office will turn its full attention to project funding. With the likely demise of federal agencies such as the National Endowment for the Humanities, the National Endowment for the Arts, and the Institute of Museum Services, we must seek other sources of funding. The relationships we are now forging with corporate and private foundations will serve us well in the future as we demonstrate to them not only the value of the Oriental Institute Museum and its outreach programs within the Chicago community, but also the compelling logical reasons to support the research effort that lies behind and sustains all of our cultural and educational programs.
One of the more exciting developments this year has been the astonishing response to the Oriental Institute's new World-Wide Web (WWW) home page; in just over a year it has been visited many thousands of times by hundreds of individuals from all over the world. Our home page on the Internet joins Abzu, our index of electronic resources; our Ancient Near Eastern (ANE) electronic mailing list for discussion of ancient Near Eastern topics, with 1,100 subscribers; and our File Transfer Protocol (FTP) site which makes documents available to anyone on the Internet. These innovations are entirely due to the initiative of Charles E. Jones and John Sanders with the active assistance of many members of the staff. They are all to be congratulated. You will find the address of our WWW home page-and much more-in the article in this volume on electronic resources at the Institute.
This past year we welcomed David Schloen to the faculty. David combines a specialty in the archaeology and early history of the Levantine coastal region with qualifications in quantitative analysis, which is a welcome methodological addition that will strengthen our teaching program. In June 1995 Mark Lehner resigned his faculty position to devote full time to research and publication. Other departures this year include Richard Jasnow (Assistant Director of the Epigraphic Survey), who has accepted an appointment as Assistant Professor at Johns Hopkins University, and Billie Jean Collins (Research Associate with the Hittite Dictionary Project), who will become Director of Publications for the American Schools of Oriental Research. I am also pleased to report that Augusta McMahon (recent Ph.D. graduate in Mesopotamian Archaeology) has just accepted a faculty appointment at Cambridge University. We all wish Mark, Richard, Billie Jean, and Augusta the very best.
The design development phase of our climate control, renovation, and expansion project started in February. The delay between completion of schematic plans in the autumn of 1993 and the beginning of design development made it necessary to cover additional escalation costs by reducing construction costs. The first step in this process was taken by the University of Chicago, which agreed to cover the costs of the new entrance ramp and renovations in the basement public rest rooms and the passenger elevator to meet the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). The second step, taken early in March, was to reduce the size of the new wing. Preliminary cost estimates indicate this step brought us back within the $10.1 million budget. Meanwhile, in early summer, we faced new design problems. The Chicago Fire Safety Bureau informed us, first, that the conservation laboratory, and then later, that the exhibit preparation shop could not remain below grade. The University's architect's office and Hammond Beeby & Babka responded quickly to these challenges. We now have a basic plan that complies with city code and meets all of our essential functional needs. Copies of the revised floor plans are posted in the lobby and I would be happy to discuss them with anyone who is interested. We expect to complete design development by late September and final construction documentation early in 1996, followed by bidding and ground breaking in the summer of 1996. If we adhere to this schedule, the Museum will be closed early in 1996.
The Legacy Campaign has raised $5 million-the halfway mark! We will go to the Kresge Foundation in November with a six-figure proposal and we hope to have 80% of the funds needed in hand or pledged by the summer of 1996 so that we can break ground. Now is the time for members of the Oriental Institute to step forward and make the most substantial pledge possible. We need your help now.
And now I invite you to reflect on Bob Adams' remarks delivered at a celebration of the Oriental Institute's seventy-fifth anniversary and to sample some of the achievements of the Institute in 1994/95.

Anniston police Capt. Allen George said the victim gave her boyfriend $1,250 on Sunday to repair the engine in her burgundy 2000 Mitsubishi Eclipse. The victim told police the engine would cost $450 and the remaining $800 was supposed to be spent on window tinting and graphics for the car, George said.
The suspect later called the victim and told her he took her car and money and went to Ohio, the captain said. The car is valued at $5,000, according to a police report.
The victim didn't know her tag number or VIN number, George said, and the car can't be reported stolen on the National Crime Information Center without that information.
George said the theft was under investigation today.
Any suspect could be charged with felony first-degree theft.
