West Virginia's economy would receive $1.25 billion in new revenue and the state would gain an uninterrupted link to the Inland Port in Front Royal, Va., if the completion of Corridor H is accelerated, according to an economic impact study released Monday.
Along with the new revenue that would be generated, the highway's construction would add $800 million to the state's economy, said the study, which was conducted by RQA Group for the Robert C. Byrd Corridor H Highway Authority.
The authority is pushing for the 143-mile four-lane highway to be completed in 2020 instead of the proposed 2036 completion date. The study projected the highway's economic impact from 2020 to 2036, looking at projected economic growth, savings on safety-related costs such as insurance, expenses and travel time. Its estimates are in 2013 dollar values.
Economic activity stemming from a completed and fully used Corridor H over the 16-year period would create an annual average of 534 jobs and a $360 million increase in wages, the study said.
"This economic activity will start with a period of modest growth as households and businesses recognize immediate advantages from the completed corridor. However, after its start, the region will experience a rapid acceleration of economic activity as existing regional businesses expand, other businesses choose to invest in the region and new businesses start up," the study stated.
Manufacturing is projected to have the largest estimated impact of the industry sector, with output increasing $275 million during the 16-year period. The increase would be due primarily to improved access to regional and global markets. Transportation and warehousing's output would increase by $219 million.
"This is an important study, because it quantifies what many of us have felt was the case all along. We're not surprised in the least that the state would benefit by a billion and a quarter dollars if we finish Corridor H in what we think is a timely manner," authority Chairman Steve Foster said in a news release.
"We felt it was important to see hard data that shows just what we could miss out on if we don't get this highway completed," Foster said. "Throw in the $800 million we could save on construction costs, and I think people can see why finishing this now makes sense."
Corridor H, which was first proposed in 1964, is the only section of the Appalachian Corridor System that has not been finished. When it is completed, it will connect Interstate 79 near Weston with the junction of Interstates 81 and 66 in Front Royal.
A completed Corridor H is important to both West Virginia and Virginia, Foster said.
"The study gives us numbers to offer government agencies and elected officials that tell all of us in a clear way what Corridor H will do for us," Foster said.
In West Virginia, 75 percent of the highway is either under construction or open.

Fresh on the heels of my last post, we have a reader submitted design from Roel Verhagen-Kaptein (perfect for a day like today when I am pressed for time).
Roel explains that the City Speeder is "a recumbent bike made for commuting in a fast and comfortable way. The streamlined body makes the bike fast and keeps you comfortable and dry. The streamline baggage compartment can hold your backpack, suitcase or can be used as a child seat. The design layout makes that you can use all standard parts for the driveline."
In addition to the City Speeder, Roel has another recumbent design in his coroflot portfolio, the Evolution bike which can be seen here. Both the City Speeder and Evolution were originally designed for the International Bicycle Design Competition, which ends with an awards ceremony each year at the Taipei Cycle Show (coming up in just over a week).

Serving Up Memories: Sweet and Sour Red Cabbage
This recipe for tangy Sweet and Sour Red Cabbage is delicious served with German wursts and sauerkraut.
I can't help but smile when I think of my grandfather.
My grandfather was a tall man who loved airplanes and motorcycles (though an accident in his youth left his leg permanently injured). He owned a small prop plane for years and flew whenever he could. And he was dedicated to work and family.
He grew up in a German-American family in the New York area. My grandfather didn't always like to speak of his family, but when he did he used to tell me stories about his childhood, his family and where they came from. He would sit on his slate blue couch, which had a scratchy woven fabric that I can best liken to burlap — though I know it wasn't and he and my grandmother had chosen it specially. I would sit in an armchair near his rotary phone, directly across from him.
I wish I spent more time in that seat when I got older . . .
One story in particular that I remember him telling me late in his life was about how our last name came to be so Americanized. Honestly, you would never know we were German from hearing it. Apparently when my German great-great grandfather went through Ellis Island, the customs people couldn't understand the heavy German name and simply changed it to a much simpler name. There was a vague relation between the German name that began with a V and the eventual W-name — very vague.
I wish I could remember what the original name was.
It makes me sad to think that there were all these stories that he had to share, but I cannot remember them well enough to pass much along to my own children. I never knew any of his family – his parents, grandparents or his sister – they were all gone long before I came. But I pass along what I can.
It's all I can do.
My grandfather grew up in a family that ate traditional German food everyday. That remained his favorite variety of foods throughout his life (though he really enjoyed Chinese food and Italian as well). If he was alive today, I think he'd love this cabbage — it was always among his favorites when we'd dine at German restaurants. This was an experimental recipe that just came together perfectly on the first try.
If you make it, do it justice and service it with a hearty meal of the wurst of your choice and some tasty sauerkraut — preferably my grandfather's favorite packaged brand: Silver Floss.
- In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the cabbage and cook for about five minutes, until it begins to wilt.
- Stir in the honey, apple juice and balsamic vinegar. Stir to coat. Lower the heat to medium-low and cover the pot.
- Cook, stirring occasionally for about 40 minutes until the cabbage is tender.
- This is equally tasty warm or cool.

Police say a man is on the loose in Montgomery County. They say he exposed himself to several girls walking to school this week.
At this time police have a very limited description of the suspect. He's being described as an older man who was dressed in all black at the time. The Norristown School District has told FOX 29 that they have coordinated with the police to assign clear police presence around the school.
While he's still out there, parents said they're being extra cautious with their children.
"It's gross. I don't want to see that," parent Nancy Alvaro said.
"That's nasty, that's immature," parent Vincent Whipple said.
Around 8 a.m. Tuesday, police said a man exposed himself to several girls walking to school on the 1500 block of Markley Street.
"I'm really surprised, really brazen," Alvaro said.
Alvaro is very concerned for the 100 children who walk that route to school daily.
"I actually thought about getting mace and giving it to my kids because it's ridiculous. The kids can't walk anywhere in peace anymore," she said.
Alvaro said the students were walking to Eisenhower Middle School, just a couple blocks from where the incident happened.
Police passed out flyers to those living in the area, asking them to keep an eye out for the suspect.
"They need to be locked up. Seriously, they need to be found and prosecuted ASAP," Whipple said.
While no luring attempt was made in this case, Anessa Harris worried this person could be capable of something more sinister.
"It pretty frightening because these are young girls and he might eventually get scared and try to take them for other reasons and that's pretty scary," Harris said.
For that very reason, Alvaro said her three kids won't be playing outside.
"Until this guy is captured, then I'll let the kids out, but until then they stay inside," she said.
Other parents said they're watching their kids more closely.
"There is nothing I really can do but to make sure I'm by his side every time he walks outside," Harris said.
"The safety of students is the number 1 priority of the Norristown Area School District. We ask our parents and children to be very vigilant," The Norristown School District tells FOX 29.
Officers have been passing out posters and flyers to people in the area urging people to take extra caution. If you have any information about the case, you're asked to call the Norristown Police Department at 610-270-0977.

With a debt clock ticking over his shoulder, Congressman Paul Ryan shared his economic message with Clinton-area residents Tuesday morning as he seeks the nation's vice presidency.
About 600 people turned out at the event in front of the Clinton County Courthouse, where a large screen posted numbers about the nation's debt and other economic data as Ryan detailed what he believes are flaws with President Barack Obama's administration.
He pointed to an unemployment rate that has hovered over 8 percent for the past several months, and a debt crisis underscored by $16 trillion in national debt.
While acknowledging Obama inherited an economic mess when he took office, Ryan said Obama has failed to put the economy back on the right track.
"We can't afford another four years like the last four years," said Ryan, who is the running mate of Republican Presidential nominee Mitt Romney.
He pointed to an overhead screen that showed economic data about the nation's debtload.
"Forty-eight percent of our debt is owned by foreign governments, China number one," Ryan said "For every dollar that our government spends today, 36 cents of that is being borrowed, and about half of that is from countries like China. This means we have to rely on foreign governments to lend us their money to finance our government. We can't keep doing this. We have to put this to an end. We have to stop this because we lose our sovereignty and our independence and our ability to chart our own future."
The gathering was a town hall format in which questions were asked by audience members.
An Air Force veteran who began serving right out of high school in 1965 tearfully talked about how he was taxed twice on his social security monies: "I live off of social security, $1,000 a month, and I cannot understand why this country I gave my life for feels that they should tax me twice for social security. They already taxed me for that and they take one-third of it back when they give me that check."
Ryan explained there is a tax on social security benefits the veteran was talking about and that Ryan has consistently acted to repeal the tax.
"We think it is a wrong tax because you've already paid tax on that," he said.
Ryan also used his time to talk about the future of social security and Medicare and the importance of preventing those programs from going bankrupt.
"Then current seniors get hurt," he said.
Of social security he said, "For my generation it is bankrupt, for my children's generation it is bankrupt," he said, explaining the reform for which he is advocating would affect only those who are 54 and younger and would protect those 55 and older. He said doing nothing means a 25 percent across-the-board benefit cut will go into effect when Social Security goes bankrupt.
"You need leadership to take this one," he said, adding Romney will provide the leadership to make the necessary changes.
His plan to shore up Medicare would be similar in that it would not change benefits for people 55 and older and reform would affect those who are younger.
He also spoke about the Keystone Pipeline, about which Ryan said that on day 1, the pipeline would be approved.
"Day 1 we say yes to Keystone," he said. "There is no good reason to reject this proposal."
Ryan said he also would work to improve educational opportunities by giving parents more choices for their children, would pursue new trade agreements and control federal spending.
Ryan made reference to the Midwestern roots shared by him and his wife, Janna, whose mother was born and raised in Clinton. Ryan said Midwesterners live within their means, and that the federal government needs to do the same.
"It's making sure you live within your means. In Midwestern culture, you save, you don't waste," he said.
Following the town hall style meeting, Ryan and his family stopped at his wife Janna's grandparents, Adelaide and Dr. Vernon Petersen's former home on Pershing Boulevard.
The home, where Janna's mother Prudence Petersen grew up, is now owned by Todd and Sarah Gravert, who live there with their two sons, Ty, 8 and Ben, 5. The couple said they were in disbelief last Wednesday when they received the call asking if the Republican vice presidential candidate and family could visit their home.
"At first, I didn't believe it," Todd said. "We were surprised and shocked."
Sarah said she was very open to the idea of having Ryan, Janna, the children and other family members in her home, which the couple purchased from Janna's grandparents in 2002.
The morning of the visit, Sarah said she was a little nervous about having what felt to her like 40 or 50 people, along with the media, milling throughout the home.
When the Ryan tour bus pulled up outside the red and white two-story home, the Graverts welcomed the family and the anxiety faded.
"They were very appreciative," Sarah said. "The kids were all playing together."
Inside, Janna and her sisters Molly and Dana found the height markings that were left on the side of a kitchen cabinet. Among them, the marks measuring Janna from the time she was a baby until she was in high school in 1987. Ruler in tow, her husband measured her against the 1987 marking. The Graverts had planned to renovate their kitchen, which would have removed the marked cabinets.
"There were just names on the wall," Sarah said. "We always wondered who they were."

Renaissance Man 2.0
Let's take stock of what this happy-birthday-having muthafucka has done with his life thus far:
1. Married a gorgeous woman.
2. Become CEO of all businesses in the world.
3. Survived 9/11 by batting away chunks of falling debris with his cock.
4. Assassinated Colonel Kurtz in 'Nam.
5. Is able to arm-curl 600lbs.
6. Fired a shot from the grassy knoll.
7. Owns a fleet of mid life crisis-grade cars.
Requiem is a man of many accomplishments, but the one accomplishment he has yet to attain is to have a stupendously fantastic birthday with lots of yummy cake and pressies. Do it now, Req, and your list shall be complete. It'll still be as believable as Bill Clinton when he said he hasn't even seen a Jew in real life let alone fingered one, but that's not the point!!!1!1!
Have a good one, son.

Of course, each approach has its benefits and drawbacks. For Fisker, makers of the Karma sedan and upcoming Karma Sunset convertible, selling through existing dealers promises to streamline the process, tapping into professionals already savvy to the local market, capable of dealing with customers and able to exchange used cars. Tesla, on the other hand, which makes the Roadster (pictured right at the company's LA store) and upcoming Model S, wants to more directly manage the sales and service process with its own retail outlets. However, that comes at the cost of rapid expansion. So far Tesla's only got stores in California, though additional locations are planned for Chicago, New York, Seattle and Washington, London and more.

Best Restaurants in Sarasota
Diner Reviews
My husband and had a wonderful
experience at Flemings. The steaks were some of the best we've ever had. Our waiter, David, was wonderful. He knew the menu well, offered suggestions, very attentive. I was some what surprised to see the way some people were dressed,ie flip-flops and shorts. I think maybe a restaurant of this caliber should have a dress code, more like our Yacht Club. We'll definitely go back and take friends and recommend Flemings to everyone."

My wife and I both had the prime
rib special, it was cooked perfect, very flavorful, awesome sauces, and tender. The baked potato side was perfect and the desserts; lava cake and carrot were fantastic. We'll be back!!"

Has the best service and do
everything they can to please. Celebrated a birthday dinner for my wife with friends and they went far beyond making this dinner special for her. Food is always great . We love the Sarasota room quiet and nice setting to be able to talk with friends."

Our only negative was the noise
level. Food outstanding, service impeccable. Enjoyed our experience."
Dined on 6/27/2014
The food is always perfect ! From
the bread, salads, main dish -- always served at your pace for the meal. The servers are very knowledgeable about the food choices and make suggestions. The service is impeccable -- they offer you a white or black napkin depending on your color pants or dress. You are greeted upon entering the restaurant and thanked when leaving your dining experience. The personal care is amazing !"
Dined on 6/14/2014
We were there for Savor Sarasota
and stuck to the menu. No extras but wine. The food choices were very tasty and size appropriate to the price, but the service etc was the same as if we had a $400 bill. Kudos for staff recognizing that Restaurant weeks work. We'll be back"

Fleming's has always had a
wonderful atmosphere with great service and great food. They have these wonderful little dessert truffles that were given to is at the end. Loved the dining experience!"

Flemings never fails to meet our
expectations as one of the best restaurants in our area. From the moment you arrive, everything is done to make your experience delightful. The food, the ambiance, the service and the quiet elegance make this our favorite place to celebrate."
Dined on 6/7/2014
If you like steak house ambiance,
avoid the Sarasota Room. We refused a table in the brightly lit room that seemed more like a fast food joint and offered nothing of the experience we were expecting that evening from Flemings."
Dined on 5/30/2014
We celebrated my husband's
birthday with a few friends. The staff was attentive, friendly, and capable. They gave my husband a birthday card and chocolate candies. They made the occasion very special. We recommend this restaurant for celebrating special occasions."

David our server was one of the
best we have come across in Sarasota."
Dined on 5/11/2014
This was our first visit to
Fleming's. It was Mother's Day & the restaurant was very busy & loud. My filet was very very tender & cooked perfect. The service could of been better. Our waiter took away the salad forks, telling us he was going to replace them with chilled forks. The salad was served & we did not have any forks. It was a little while until a waiter came by for us to let him know we didn't have any forks. A nice touch to serve chilled forks with salad when you receive them. There were four in our party & everyone was pleased with their dinner choices. The restaurant is pricey as everything is al a carte. "
Dined on 5/11/2014
I have never had such an awful
meal. The bread was stale. Told waitress and she attempted to find something fresher but arrived with another loaf of stale bread. The chops were thin and tasteless. The wedge was peppery and dressing was bland. "
Dined on 5/11/2014
I was very disappointed in the
Service ... waiter took 18 minutes to take drink order! Went on Mother's Day and the waiter was less then attentive except when it came time to deliver the bill! Also, perhaps it was that we were all women? Also our steaks were ordered medium rare and came out rare. Unfortunately, the waiter was a no show so we ate what we could, took the rest home and cooked it the next day for dinner. For the prices, I expect better service. I was disappointed since it should have been a go go restaurant!"
Dined on 5/11/2014
I love the big steak house scene
and this was as good or better than any - even New York. Bring your credit card."
Dined on 5/11/2014
We chose Fleming's for Mother's
Day brunch hoping they would serve a great brunch. Unfortunately, we were terribly disappointed. Other than a terrific dessert, the prime rib seemed to have been prepared ahead of time and warmed up - cut in chunks instead of nice fresh slices... it was not good. The eggs benedict was ok - a little salty - but ok. I would think the sweet dishes were very nice, but other than that...sad. We won't go back - even with the $25 gift certificate that was given."
Dined on 5/11/2014
service slow, 10 minutes to get a
glass of water. Food was ok when it came. "
Dined on 5/4/2014
I have had many outstanding meals
at Fleming's with family and friends . Saturday evening was unfortunately not one of those times . We go to Fleming's for steak , although my grandson had salmon which was quite tasty. Our steaks, bone in rib eyes were not up to the usual outstanding quality of Flemings . The meat was done to our satisfaction, but we all felt that it was a little too tough and chewy. Certainly not bad enough to send back, just disappointing. Hopefully, it was just an off night, and we will be back."
Dined on 4/27/2014
One dinner was wonderful the other
was ok as the steak was a bit fatty. Otherwise everything was quite good and enjoyable. Atmosphere was on the noisy side, but it was crowded and quite busy.a"

We always dine here when we are in
town. The drinks are great and the food is wonderful. The staff is friendly and always cheerful!!! We enjoy it here very much."
Dined on 4/25/2014
I was there for an Easter dinner
wasn't the best place. I had made a reservation early to get a nice seat but instead we got seated next to the bus station. My server was very attentive. My large bottle of water though was hot. We got a side of fries which was burnt. When I got my steak it was not cooked to my specification so I sent the food back. I ordered a steak which came with a salad and dessert but when I got my check they charged for the dessert which came with my meal. Overall it was ok the hostess and host were very friendly but for making a reservation that advance I would prefer a better table ."

The wine and food is great but Joe

We went for my husband's birthday
and had a wonderful meal. We were pleasantly surprised to get truffles & a gift card for his birthday. We'll definitely be back."
Dined on 4/15/2014
We have found that many
restaurants have excellent food, served in beautiful surroundings, but what really differentiates an exceptional restaurant is it's service. Flemings in Sarasota has the best staff- from the front door to the table to the car park. It makes the experience one that will be remembered."
Dined on 4/11/2014
Three of us had a superb dining
experience at Flemings last Wednesday. The steaks were cooked to perfection and the Flemings potatoes were very good. Pricey, but worth it. Our server, Sherri Krams, tool care of us in a friendly and professional manner."
Dined on 4/9/2014
Terrific atmosphere, though a bit
noisy, clean, properly lit, very comfortable booth. Aged ribeye was outstanding, porcini filet (while she couldn't taste the porcini) w/ blue cheese sauce was delicious, wedge salad great. The meals were a bit pricey, especially cocktails. Service was friendly and professional (Tom and Josh). We had difficulty getting to the restaurant in time to meet our reservation, but staff was understanding (Sierra, Victoria)."
Dined on 4/7/2014
Flemings has never failed to have
great food, great ambience, excellent wait staff, and a lovely overall dining experience. Their special Sunday night prime rib dinner should be a regular item on the daily menu."
Dined on 4/6/2014
We have had inconsistent
experiences at Flemings, Sarasota, but our most recent visit was very positive. We shared the "Tomahawk" steak which is a rib eye. The steak was prepared as ordered, but it was slightly too rare for me. The accompaniments were excellent -- sautéed corn and Fleming's potatoes. Their "house" cabernet is 14 Hands and it is always good -- highly recommended."
Dined on 4/6/2014
The food was good and the service
was excellent. The price was large. I enjoyed the meal very much, but doubt I'll return soon, because of the cost."
Dined on 4/6/2014
I brought my family (elderly) to
dinner on April 5, 2014. I live in LA and often take them here because they all enjoy it so much. First the good news, the fellow who took our wine order was very kind and patient. He let us sample several wines before we settled on a bottle. Other than that- I had to get up several times to ask for water, an extra napkin and several other items. The guys who brought the food didn't seem to know who's dinner was who's. The waitstaff were rather "cold" in their attitude, not friendly or helpful, rather aloof. If I want aloof, I'll eat in LA!!! When I'm in Sarasota, especially for the prices charged, I expect warm and friendly Sarasota service-it's avail here any longer and worsens each time I eat here."
Dined on 4/5/2014
We were seated in a quiet room.
The filet mignon was delicious and so tender. Our food was served very promptly and was piping hot. A very pleasant dining experience!"
Dined on 4/4/2014
From the moment we pulled up to
flemmings our wonderful experience started. The valet attendants were courteous, the host was happy to see us, and the ambiance was lively yet refined. The first face we saw entering our table (a lovely corner table away from the hustle and bustle) was josh our server's assistant. Josh was extremely knowledgeable about the steps of service, the menu, and the cocktails. His recommendations were appreciated and spot on. The next person we came in contact with was joe out server. He reinforced the emotions we were feeling with similar yet more targeted recommendations, he was ever present without hovering. Can't wait until out next visit! Hope to see josh serving next time."
Dined on 4/1/2014
We were seated in an overflow room
right outside the kitchen door and the servers refused to keep the door closed. It made for a very distracting experience. Our server repeatedly closed the door and tried to get his colleagues to do the same but to no avail."
Dined on 3/29/2014
Love it food was great staff litle
to not care less but ok"
Dined on 3/29/2014
Everything was terrifiic
includincluding a very personable wait person, however 2 of my pet peeves were touched upon. The first is that if I have ordered a sauce to be eaten with my steak, whether it be something fancy or plain ketchup, I would like it to be served either before or with my hot food. the wait person had to go back to get it after serving my meal....the other is that as long as some one at the table is still eating, I do not want my dish removed...this is rude and makes the slower eater uncomfortable and consequently makes me uncomfortable. This should not happen at an upscale expensive restaurant ."

- Tell Pandora your preferences. Instead of just fast-forwarding past the songs you don't like, rate the song with a thumbs up or thumbs down (shows up when you mouse over the artist cover). This will make your radio station a lot better; you're essentially "training" it.
- Add more music to a station. You can group similar artists (or dissimilar, it's up to you) within one station. Find a station you've already made and click on the down arrow next to the station name. A menu will popup; select "Add more music to this station." For instance, I just added David Wilcox to my George Winston station. You can do this by artist or song; adding it by artist expands your station a lot because Pandora will find similar artists.
- Find a shared station: My favorite Pandora stations are the ones I've found by clicking the "Share" button on the bottom of the Pandora player.
- Music for the holidays. Last Christmas I was able to listen to non-stop holiday music courtesy of Pandora. Just type in your favorite holiday song and Pandora will find similar tunes. Or, you could just type in the name of the artist followed by the word "holiday":

Movies for PS Vita - Convert/Transfer DVD, Blu-ray and 1080p/720p videos to Sony PlayStation Vita for smoothly playing
Finally, with console-level gaming in a handheld device, Sony PlayStation Vita arrived at us. Overall, the PS Vita is the most advanced portable gaming system ever made. The PS Vita does more than just play games. It comes with a 5-inch OLED touch screen that look almost as good as PS3 graphics. So besides gaming with PS Vita, you can also turn the PS playstation into a portable media player to starting the fun right away with watching favorite movies on Sony PlayStation Vita on the go.

This week, the Government Accountability Office (GAO) released a scathing report detailing how the Department of Veterans Affairs is failing at both preventing and tracking sexual assaults at VA facilities across the country. The report focused on a lack of oversight, inconsistent procedures, and weaknesses in protective measures. The report went on to enumerate numerous problems and made recommendations for how the VA might start to address these serious issues.
The review found that from January of 2007 to July of 2010, nearly 300 sexual assault incidents were reported to VA Police.
Although all sexual assault reports received by VA police are required to be reported to both the Veterans Integrated Service Network (VISN) and the Office of the Inspector General (OIG), the review found that most were not reported to either. In fact, nearly two-thirds of assaults were not reported to the OIG. At four selected VISN offices, the review found that anywhere from 0%-47% of assaults were correctly reported:
The GAO hypothesized that assaults were underreported overall, both to VA police and the higher-level offices, due to inconsistent definitions of sexual assaults requiring reports and unclear expectations for incident reporting. At five selected VA facilities, five different definitions were found:
Beyond the trouble with reporting and tracking procedures, the GAO found significant problems with prevention measures at facilities. Veterans entering a facility for service were often not adequately screened for potential for violence, with clinician's often relying on the patient's self-report. Clinicians themselves reported that these assessment tools were often incomplete or inaccurate.
Physical security precautions are required to be in place at all residential programs and inpatient mental health units for the security of both patients and staff. A review of these precautions, such as closed-circuit cameras and panic alarms, found "significant weaknesses". These included:
When the report was presented to the House Committee on Veterans' Affairs, the chairman Rep. Jeff Miller (R-Fla) said that he was "aghast" after reading it. He went on to say:
"It reminded me of a 1950s prison system — lawlessness, lack of security and reporting, and outright disregard for human dignity."
Rep. Miller also stated an intention to force the VA to make improvements. In a response from VA officials, they stated their intention to follow-up on the recommendations, along with improving the reporting system and physical protection measures.
Read SWAN's response to the GAO report and stay tuned for more updates on holding the VA accountable for protecting patients and veterans.

SOCHI, Russia --Perhaps you've heard the story of the U.S. bobsledder who smashed his way through a door after being locked in his bathroom.
Well, as so often happens there's a Buffalo angle. Johnny Quinn, the man who made the great bathroom escape, used to be with the Bills. News reports are saying Quinn played for the Bills. Actually, he was with the team in the 2007 training camp as an undrafted free agent wideout from North Texas, but never played a regular-season game with the team.
Quinn was a star receiver and kick returner at North Texas. He finished as the school's all-time leader in catches, receiving yards and touchdowns. In 2008, he signed with the Packers, but didn't make their regular squad, either. Quinn eventually caught on with the Saskatechewan Roughriders and had a few productive games in the Canadian Football League in 2009 before suffering an ACL injury.
In 2010, Quinn put together a training video and sent it to the USA national bobsled team. He competed in a bobsled for the first time in the 2010-2011 season. He is a member of the Americans' second four-man sled with driver Nick Cunningham.

The Fortsas Bibliohoax
Posted by Shannon
Jean Nepomucene Auguste Pichauld, Comte de Fortsas, was a man with a singular passion. He collected books of which only one copy was known to exist. If he ever discovered that one of the volumes in his library had a duplicate anywhere in the world, he would immediately dispose of it. So when he died on September 1, 1839 he possessed only fifty-two books, but each of them was absolutely unique.
His heir, not sharing the old man's passion for book collecting, arranged for an auction to sell off the library, and so a catalog of this small but highly unusual collection was mailed to bibliophiles throughout Europe. The auction, the collectors were told, was to be held in the offices of Mâitre Mourlon, notary, 9 rue de l'Église, in Binche, Belgium on August 10, 1840.
Unfortunately for those collectors, neither Comte de Fortsas nor the collection existed.
The man behind the hoax was a local antiquarian named Renier Hubert Ghislain Chalon (1802-1889). The planning that had gone into the deception was incredible. He had carefully researched the interests of all the major bibliophiles in Europe in order to ensure that they would make the long and fruitless trek to Binche. And he had done all this merely for the sake of a practical joke.
The hoax proved not to be a total loss for its victims. The catalog they had received itself became a highly coveted collector's item. Within a few decades it had more than quadrupled in price.
Librarian and bibliophile Jeremy Dibbell has posted the contents of said catalog to LibraryThing. You can also view scans of it on Google Books.

Using your Mac's shared printer from your XP PC is no different than it would be if the printer were directly connected to your XP PC. All of your XP applications will see the shared printer just as if it were physically attached to your PC.
There are just a few points to keep in mind.
- Your Mac must be turned on in order for the shared printer to be accessible on the network.
- Some printer properties may not be accessible over the network. For example, you may not be able to determine the status of consumables on the shared printer, such as how much ink is left or whether the paper tray is empty. This varies from printer to printer, as well as from printer driver to printer driver.
- Printing from the network may keep your Mac from going to sleep.
- A sleeping Mac may not be able to respond to printer requests from networked PCs.

How to Count Square Footage of a Home
Adding up space and bedrooms before making a sale isn't always as easy as it sounds.
Could you rattle off the official square footage of a home if someone asked you? What about the actual number of bedrooms? If the answer is no, you're not alone. But if you're listing a home for sale or are about to make a home purchase, understanding the square footage of a home and what defines a bedroom is key.
[In Pictures: 10 Smart Ways to Improve Your Budget.]
Where do you find the official square footage number? There are some standards to measuring the square footage of a home, however, "the problem is that it's specific to different regions," says Seattle real estate agent Sam DeBord of Coldwell Banker.
The first place to start, DeBord explains, is with the common property tax records, which contain the official recorded living space. If you're selling your home, this is the figure that should be entered as the square footage amount on the property's listing.
"That being said, there are a lot of properties that are finished beyond that," DeBord says. But, rather than adding that to the official square footage number, the best thing to do is measure and describe the finished space in the marketing details.
"The most important thing is to list that property without any possibility of liability," DeBord says. "If you list something that isn't there, it's a possible lawsuit down the road." Not included in official square footage measurements:
How to measure square footage:
If you want to tackle measuring the square footage of your home yourself, there are a few different standards you can use. The most common technique for measuring a home is the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) calculation.
[See the best personal finance stories from around the Web at the U.S. News My Money blog.]
Measuring your home's square footage using ANSI is done using the exterior walls. Start at a corner and work your way around the house. For example, if you have a perfectly rectangular home, you'll measure the length of the home along one exterior side by the length of the other exterior side and multiply the two together.
If your home is like most, it won't be a perfect rectangle and you'll have to deal with little areas that jut out or are angled. Measure those parts separately, calculate the area of each and then add that on the total square footage. Note that the ANSI's measurement guide does not apply to condos or multi-family housing.
What defines a bedroom?
Another confusing detail that shows up on a property's listing regards the number of bedrooms. Like square footage, the standards to define a room as a bedroom vary from region to region.
Officially, the number of bedrooms that are in the county tax records should be on the home's listing. However, unlike square footage, there is a little more leeway, says DeBord. "There are technical rules, but as common practice it's a little looser," DeBord says. "A lot of people have finished basements with bedrooms—but most buyers would look at the room and agree that it's a bedroom with a closet and a window."
One of the main things that constitutes a bedroom is an egress window—a window that could be used as a point of emergency escape or rescue. Real estate codes will vary, but most standards require the window must be operable from the inside without the use of a tool or keys, as well as have specific minimum and maximum window opening height and width as well as windowsill height and width. Bedrooms must also have a closet, but again, what defines a closet can vary in each region.
