12 displaced in three-alarm blaze on Manchester's Green Street
Fire Chief James Burkush, who suffered a cut to his hand, said Tuesday night that firefighters were trying to keep the blaze from spreading to nearby buildings more than two hours after it was reported shortly after 10 p.m.
Firefighters battled the blaze for about four hours and at one point had eight trucks - five elevated and three ground master streams - pouring water on flames at a rate of more than 500 gallons a minute. Initially, emergency workers received reports someone was trapped inside, sending firefighters into the smoky building searching for the resident. No one was located.
The fire appeared to have been contained by about 11 p.m., but a second wave of heavy smoke and fire hit the third floor, prompting ladder trucks to move in a second time.
Burkush said the fire did not rekindle.
"No, it was never out," he said.
Burkush said at 11:30 p.m. that he was the only person injured in the fire, "that I know of."
Rafael Cruz said he'd gone out to a store to buy some milk and, when he came back, saw smoke billowing from his apartment, as well as from the first floor and the basement. He said he got his family, including children 2 and 7, out and went back to warn neighbors.
He said he left the building when flames and smoke got stronger and he saw police and firefighters arrive.
"The flames were too much," he said. "I'm still choking, but I'm all right. I'm alive."
Cruz said he moved into the building in November and does not have renter's insurance. He said he has lost everything except a couple of his kids' coats and a blanket.
"I didn't have time to get clothes and other stuff," he said.

Evans Parkway Neighborhood Park
Click on thumbnail for a larger view
Project Description
Construction has begun to renovate the Evans Parkway Neighborhood Park in Silver Spring, with completion anticipated in the spring of 2014. The five-acre park located along Georgia Avenue and Cascade Place will be expanded to include an additional 2.46 acres. Features will include basketball courts, new playground equipment and a natural stream and boardwalk.
A facility planning study was conducted and a plan for the park was approved by the Montgomery County Planning Board on January 18, 2007. Features of the plan include two half-court basketball courts, parallel parking spaces, replacement of playground equipment, boardwalk and paved pedestrian loop trails, a shelter, rain gardens and landscaping. In addition, this project includes removal of an existing concrete stormwater management channel and restoration of this area as a natural stream channel. The project was approved and funded for detailed design and construction by the Montgomery County Council.
Status/Project Update
A new consultant was hired in November 2009 to prepare the "Detailed Design" and construction documents. This project has three exciting features: First, the concrete lined channel will be removed and replaced with a natural stream, wider flood plain, beautiful boardwalk, new bridge, landscaping and interpretive signs. Second, this project has been selected as a pilot study for "Sustainable Site Initiative" which is a similar setup as LEED for building design. Third, an artist has been hired through a nationwide competition with the help of Arts and Humanities of Montgomery County. The Artist will work with our consultant integrating the artwork with the park design rather than installing an isolated sculpture. The construction document design is at 95% and is partially posted on this web site.
A community meeting was held on May 4, 2010 to collect additional feedback from the community. The construction documents are 100% complete. Attached are some of the major sheets from the construction documents, 95% complete.

Vt. Tax Dept. notes homestead declaration changeFebruary 01,2013MONTPELIER The Vermont Department of Taxes is reminding residents that theres a change in the tax law regarding homestead declarations.
In the past, property owners had to file the declaration whenever there was a change in ownership or status of the property.
But starting this year, property owners must file such declarations annually by tax day, April 15.
Property in Vermont is considered nonresidential until it is claimed as the owners homestead.
A property owner must file a homestead declaration if the owner owns and occupies the property as his or her primary residence and is domiciled in Vermont.
Tax Commissioner Mary Peterson says filling the declaration is critical to paying the correct amount of tax.MORE IN Vermont NewsMONTPELIER The Vermont Supreme Court ruled Friday that the state cant collect DNA from...

Beverly White, David Gregory
A toddler was reunited with his Father after being found inside a stolen pickup truck. Police later arrested a suspect, as Beverly White reports for NBC4 News at 11pm on October 8, 2012.
An unnamed father on Monday saw a stranger drive off in the pickup truck he'd left idling with his toddler son strapped in the backseat.
The incident went down near 173rd Street and Grevillea Avenue in Lawndale.
"By the time I got to the top of the stairs, I heard the car door slam," the father said, requesting anonymity. "I came running, but there was no way I could catch it."
LA Sheriff's officials confirm the panicked dad called 911. Deputies soon spotted the stolen vehicle, arrested the driver and re-united the family.
Multiple charges are now pending against 21-year-old Christopher Smith.
"It's definitely going to be taking a vehicle without owners' consent," said Sgt. Paul Schuerger, South LA Sheriff's Station. "I don't know if the deputies are going to charge the suspect with kidnapping or not."
Investigators say the boy was unharmed and unaware, but emphasize that this fortunate ending is a cautionary tale to never leave a child in a car.
"My heart dropped. I, complete shock. Complete nervous breakdown," the father said. "I never worried about anything so much in my life, watching my son get stolen from my car."

The Washington State Court of Appeals has ordered a dismissed criminal charge reinstated against Steven Powell, setting the stage for more courtroom drama in a case thats already seen its share of it.
Powell, 64, has completed the terms of a 30-month prison sentence he received after being convicted of multiple counts of voyeurism in 2012 for photographing two school-aged neighbor girls as they bathed and used the toilet.
Powell is the father of Joshua Powell, who killed his two sons and himself in Pierce County in 2012 while being investigated in the disappearance and presumed murder of his wife, Susan Cox Powell. Her disappearance remains unsolved.
Steve Powell is living in the Tacoma area and is being monitored as a sex offender.
Before trial, he also had been charged with one count of second-degree possession of a minor engaged in sexually explicit conduct, but Superior Court Judge Ronald Culpepper ordered the charge dismissed.
Pierce County prosecutors appealed the decision, saying Culpepper relied on an outdated statutory definition of sexually explicit conduct when deciding to dismiss that count.
In an opinion released Tuesday, the three-judge appellate panel, in an opinion written by Judge Lisa Worswick, agreed with the county, saying Powells alleged conduct meets the new definition.
Thus, we reverse the trial courts ... dismissal of the charge of second-degree possession of a minor engaged in sexually explicit conduct and remand for reinstatement of this charge and further proceedings, the opinion shows.
Prosecutor Mark Lindquist said Powell has 30 days to appeal the ruling to the Washington State Supreme Court. If he does not, prosecutors will summons Powell to court to be arraigned on the charge. Should Powell be convicted on the reinstated charge, he would face up to five years in prison.
Lindquist said his office would argue that a new sentence be served consecutively to the 30-month sentence Powell already has served, which would mean another stretch in prison for Powell.
Powells new defense attorney likely would argue that the sentence to ordered to run concurrently with his 30-month sentence, meaning Powell would not have to do more prison time.
Were confident the law supports a consecutive sentence, Lindquist said Tuesday.
Powells original trial drew media attention from across the country, and his release from prison and efforts to find a place to live in Pierce County were the subject of numerous news stories in the Puget Sound area and in Utah, where his son and daughter-in-law lived at the time of her disappearance.

Cárdenas became the fist woman to lead UTPA in 2004. Since then she has been responsible for a number of initiatives that have distinguished UTPA in the state for promoting student success and access. Today she is guiding the institution to a new and vibrant era in research in fields such as economics, border life, medicine and engineering.
"For her unselfish contributions to the community and education, the MHCC Board of Directors would like to honor Dr. Cárdenas at this coming year's Noche de Gala with the distinguished Golden Eagle Award," said Cynthia M. Sakulenzki, MHCC president/CEO. "We encourage the community to come and join us at this formal and fun event with dinner, dancing, live and silent auction and a Las Vegas Style Casino."
This educator and civil rights advocate began her career as a teacher of migrant pre-school children in her native Del Rio, Texas in 1968. Within nine years she had designed an extensive array of programs that became national models. Her leadership engaged the National Education Association, Children's Television Workshop, the U.S. Department of Justice and local, state and national efforts to advance voting rights, child and family development and educational equity and excellence.
She completed a doctorate in educational leadership at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst and in 1977 accepted a presidential appointment as commissioner for Children, Youth and Families in the Department of Health, Education and Welfare where she headed the nations' Head Start, Child Care, Child Welfare programs and the National Center for the Prevention of Child Abuse and Neglect. In 1980 she was appointed to the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights where she served for 13 years.

Indian in the Annex: Mt. Everest vs. Nataraj
For many years I was a big fan of the Nataraj, on Bloor St. in the Annex. But 3-4 years ago I stopped going - the food and the service had gone downhill, and it just wasn't a good experience anymore.
The other day, I finally tried Mt. Everest, the North Indian / Nepalese place across the street. What a revelation! The Aloo Tama Bodi ("very popular mountain dish," says the menu) was especially good, and the various curries we had were superb
Anyone else have thoughts on Mt. Everest vs. Nataraj?
excellent, i think i'll try it this weekend. what do you reccomend ordering?
re: hungryabbey
re: fickle
re: hungryabbey
Rashnaa is on Wellesley, just east of Parliament, in Cabbagetown. It's Sri Lankan, hence similar to south Indian, and thus very different from Trimurti. If Trimurti is run by the old Nataraj guys as mentioned above, their strength is north Indian. It's a matter of preference, really.
re: estragon
re: hungryabbey
You're probably better off with north Indian, then. More hearty meat curries. But check out the menu at Rashnaa and see if it appeals: http://www.rashnaa.com
re: estragon
re: hungryabbey
Sorry for the delay in responding but I had to uninstall Explorer 7 in order to use the Reply feature here.
At Trimurti I recommend the Onion Bhajia appetiser (big enough for two) and try one of the cashew paste entrees such as Lamb Pasanda (although have to admit that the lamb was tough on one recent visit). Also the stuffed breads are excellent.
If (when?) you do try Rashnaa, then for sure try a Masala Dhosa (sort of a spicy potato wrap/crepe) and then pick from, say, a String Hopper and/or Kottu Roti. Rashnaa specializes in vegetarian food, but meat options are also available.
And I don't 'do' buffets, especially if they have chicken (long story, but the Toronto General Hospital was involved) so can't compare Trimurti with Mt Everest (but do plan on trying Mt Everest sometime for a meal if it's as good as people say).
re: estufarian
re: hungryabbey
re: estufarian
re: hungryabbey
so I went to Trimurti and my feelings are kiiiiinda divided. First of all, we went pretty early so at first it was just us and one other table of ONE person.. yet still, the service for taking orders both for food and drinks was pretttty slow, like I kept trying to get his attention and he would just walk by us over and over. But thats not too big of a deal. They served us some really crunchy thin bread (Im sorry I dont know what its called) with a couple different sauces/relishes which were really good I thought. To start we got some subzi samosas (2.95 for 2 HUGE samosas) and they were reallly good, some of the best Ive had I think, though I still think Queen Mother has some of the best.. and we also got the garlic kulcha roti which was EXCELLENT, I mean I could live off it.. so we ordered a couple rice dishes (to tame the spice haha one just plain basmati (2.50) and basmati with veggies (4.50). We all got our own mains we couldnt really agree to share so two of us got the gosht kadai which was lamb with potatoes, onions, tomatoes, red peppers and spices at medium spice (9.50). It was really good though a BIT too thick a curry for me, I like a litttle bit more sauce. One of us ordered the murgh kadai which was chicken, potatoes, red peppers with fried onions and spices, and I think I liked hers better (9.50 also). And one of us got the seekh kabab with beef (9.50) which was done in the tandoor. I tried this too and it was very very flavourful, I really have never tasted anything like it, and Im not sure if its a taste i LOVE or dont really like at all haha. All in all, even though its been a while since Ive been to Sher-e-punjab, I still think I like it better. Though for 85$ for all that, 4 pops and 2 beers, you really cant beat it! Thanks for the rec, I did enjoy it, next time Im gonna have to go to the lunch buffet to try out some more dishes.
Nataraj is still good (we especially like their murgh sai korma, the chicken dish with cream and fruit). It feels like home because it's been there so long and we always used to go.
But Mt. Everest is now the better of the two, I'd say. Try their chicken tikka masala -- really complex flavours and moist cubes of chicken. IIRC they had an awesome rice pudding too!
An update as I finally got to try Mount Everest. I agree that it tops Nataraj, but still put Trimurti slightly ahead - for most items.
Overall, I found the spicing at Mt Everest very mild. The lamb dishes also featured rather tough lamb, although it was still tasty.
The Onion Bhaji (my standard test for Indian restaurants) was OK, but didn't zing. The batter was a little soggy and the onions didn't taste as sweet as those at Trimurti. It was served on a bed of lettuce with carrot and tomato at the side - not coincidentally an identical presentation was used for 3 of the four courses we ordered. They were also finished with a too-liberal application of salt (probably garam masala salt) - and the identical finish was used on the 'Indian Fries' - which were also a litle soggy.
The chicken was a great step up. Juicy and tasty - as good as I've had in Indian restaurants. But the highlight was the Onion Kulcha - absolute medley of textures and flavours. Crunchy sweet onions, well-spiced, wonderfully greasy. A must! The naan, on the other hand was unexceptional. But as the sauces were bland, it didn't really matter as I didn't bother mopping them up.
Prices are about the same at both Trimurti and Mt Everest.
For the future, if I want more spices I'd choose Trimurti, and their lamb is better too. The chicken at Mt Everest is really good and the Onion Kulcha is outstanding.
But tipping the scales for me is the Onion Bhaji - Trimurti wins hands down on that item and so that's still my #1.
I didn't like Nataraj the one time I ate there, last summer. Mt. Everest tastes much fresher, and it's worth going just for the tandoori sizzling platters, especially the tandoori vegetable. I think I remember paneer on that platter (yum!), but it's not listed on their online menu.

I removed my center to go phantom and never looked back.
Information always seemed localized, it didn't blend well even though the speakers were timbre matched with my mains. Plus the fact I didn't like having a large object between my speakers.
If you have a large sweet spot, a phantom setup should work for you. Have you tried it yet?
I believe Gaara is also a big proponent of using a phantom center.
Please. Please contact me a ben62670 @ yahoo.com. Make sure to include who you are, and you are from Polk so I don't delete your email. Also I am now physically unable to work on any projects. If you need help let these guys know. There are many people who will help if you let them know where you are.
I tried my Gallos w/ a LSiC for a few months after I sold off the rest of the LSis. I eventually tried a phantom center and much preferred it. Fast forward a year, I bought the matching Gallo Center and tried that for a week and liked it, but when I went back to phantom center it had to go. Therefore I have gone from a center to phantom and back.
1. Sound quality. With properly setup fronts you can get much better imaging and panning with a phantom center. Most have a center above or below the screen. This causes panning from L-C-R to go from ear level, up/down a couple feet, then back to ear level, very unnatural. With a phantom center the sound stays exactly ear level, so now it it centered around the tv not only horizontally but vertically to, adding realism.
2. Cost. You can sell of your center+amp+wires. For your situation just the 9+wiring.
3. WAF. IMO and a TV looks much better alone on a stand, plus it is less distracting when watching a movie. Not to mention less cables so less mess.
1. Hass Effect: If you have a center channel it doesn't matter where you sit, the sounds come from the center, but with no center things get tricky. If you sit closer to one speaker the sound actually pulls to that side, so the sweetspot is smaller for a phantom center.
2. DRC: Some receivers have DRC that automatically kicks in when you drop below 5.1. In some cases it is not deflatable, so using a phantom center would cause a loss in dynamic range.
3. "Gelling": Some have issues with peaks using a phantom center where everything gels together. It is generally with hard to drive receivers being run of rcvrs. With L/R it isn't as much of an issue, because the sound is still localizable, but with a phantom center it can cause the center image to fall apart.
I use a phantom center mainly for the gains in sound quality, and with my listening area I don't hit any of the pit falls. My advice to you would be to try it for 1 week. Don't cheat, don't go back to using a center even if you hate how it sounds. Then after that week try using the center again. You might be surprised, it is a very different sound.

I haven't tried it yet, but it would seem SDAs might be a perfect choice for running phantom center
Phantom center for the win. I went from 5.1 to 2.0 (may go back to 4.0)... and I've never been happier.
Currently listening to:
Marantz SR5004
Sony BDP-S370
Apple TV V2
Audio Technica AT-LP120
Mirage CMD-5 x 5
Bic H-100
I use to run my set up with no center, got one ran ,sold it ran no center and miss the center and got another one. I understand what Gaara is saying but at the same time depends on what your running and how much you can do to blend the system into one, and that is why i pick pioneer over Hk anytime i have much more options. i am only comparing this to hk avr347.
I perfer a center.
- This your Bush?
Harman Kardon AVR-2600.
Polk LSI9's, PSW1000
I've gone from center to phantom (didn't have room for it) and back again. Right now I am running a center.
I think Gaara is right on the nose - everything flows much better WITHOUT a center, though this is more because the mixes on a lot of movies are poor and tend to rely on the center too much.
However, the reason I stuck with a center is when going phantom I always had to strain to hear dialog, or play with the volume a lot during movies, where with a center I didn't have this problem. Could have been my equipment at the time - this is before I went to separates - but I'm still willing to sacrifice a bit of the organicness (probably not a word) of phantom mode for ease of hearing dialog.
If you will it, dude, it is no dream.

Blogs from The Morning After
Should NBC have to apologize for this??
Story after Video
NBC has become the centre of a race storm after airing an ad featuring a monkey performing gymnastics, right after showing the performance of Gabby Douglas, the first African-American to win Olympic gold. The network has since apologised for the advert's poor timing, explaining: 'No offense was intended.' The controversy ignited as sportscaster Bob Costas wrapped his analysis of her incredible routine during the all-around competition last night. Costas said: 'There are some African American girls out there who tonight are saying to themselves: "Hey, I'd like to try that too." More from London in a moment.' The broadcast then went to a commercial break, showing an advertisement featuring a monkey wearing a gymnastics uniform and performing a rings gymnastics event.
The unintentional, but poorly-timed ad was for Animal Practice, an upcoming NBC sitcom. Another called it 'risky.' In a statement to MailOnline, NBC Sports said: 'Gabby Douglas' gold medal performance last night was an historic and inspiring achievement. 'This spot promoting 'Animal Practice,' which has run three times previously, is one in a series with an Olympic theme which have been scheduled for maximum exposure. Certainly no offense was intended.' Gabby may be a rising star in gymnastics, but the golden achievement has also brought unwanted attention. The race uproar came after another nasty row involving Twitter over the gymnastics sensation's hair, expressing their disapproval over how it was styled. Critics have argued that her dark locks should in fact mimic the tight, ballerina-style bun that gymnasts usually tuck their hair into. One user wrote: 'Gabby Douglas gotta [sic] do something with this hair! These clips and this brown gel residue aint it!'.

But above all, Dither, Pother & Roil explore (for me) new methods & an expanded mode of expression. To a greater extent than is usual in my work, they are pieces that must speak for themselves; it will be abundantly clear that they are visceral, violent, unrestrained & at times relentless, but beyond this the titles—carefully chosen for their allusive qualities & connotations—must be sufficient to 'explain' their meaning. This is mirrored in the accompanying artwork, by the talented young American artist Claire Uhle, a painting that seems to encapsulate everything that Dither, Pother & Roil are seeking to express.

Is a Simple Flat Tax Really that Simple?
The flat tax might eliminate distorting loopholes and deductions.
You probably thought I was kidding last week when I said that, after dissecting the pros and cons of the value-added tax, we'd turn our attention to the flat tax. And I may have been. But the thoughtful responses we got have encouraged me to press on with our tax seminar. So what about that flat tax? Essentially, it would junk the convoluted tax code and impose a single rate on individual and business income. You could file your return on a postcard. Supporters say it would eliminate the distorting behavior of loopholes and deductions, promoting economic growth as people looked for productive investments instead of tax-avoiding ones. Is it that simple? Give me your thoughts on the flat tax at firstname.lastname@example.com. And maybe next week we'll look at that Fair Tax scheme.

DURHAM — Concerned parents and community members are gearing up for a meeting of school officials today that could predict whether they will turn Chewning Middle School into a year-round program for all students.
The northern Durham school currently serves almost 800 students, about half of which go to school on a year-round calendar. The other half follow the traditional calendar, with a three-month summer break.
The meeting will be held at 4:30 p.m. at the Durham Public Schools headquarters at 511 Cleveland St. A few citizens may have the opportunity for public comment on the issue, but space is limited.

Dear Editor:
Poker anyone? A high stakes multi-million dollar poker game is underway between the Manhattan Beach City Council (MBCC) and fired former City Attorney Wadden and fired former City Manager Dolan, both of whom will inevitably file lawsuits against the city. Unfortunately, the residents are providing the stakes.
The latest gambit by Wadden as a veiled threat is his "Supporting Documents for Wadden Claim for Damages (Submitted Under Seal)" to the MBCC which the city returned unopened. Plausibly, it contains the investigation substantiating the allegations of alleged sexual misconduct by Dolan which the city has refused to reveal. If substantiated, the prior MBCC would have to justify why it provided Dolan a $200,000+severance rather than firing him for moral turpitude. Further, revelation of the investigation would violate the nondisclosure terms of the severance, thus aiding Dolan's case. Be prepared for another "Anonymous Letter" as the one detailing Dolan's alleged misconduct.
Tragically, we, as residents, will (as these lawsuits grind through the courts) suffer the continual exacerbation of wounds created over 15 years by Dolan and Wadden and by the prior MBCCs who failed to prevent the harms they created, damaging the integrity of public policymaking in Manhattan Beach.
Our prior MBCC settled a lawsuit filed against it admitting violations of open government laws and expending extensive tax dollars to prevent disclosure before capitulating followed by additional penalties. It promised us "commitment to open and transparent government." This promise has remained unfulfilled by a rear-guard minority of the prior but still present members of the MBCC (Tell and Montgomery) hindering MBCC Council members Lesser, Powell, and Howorth in promoting open government initiatives.

Deciding where to eat in Bloomington is always an adventure. The diversity of the student body invites an array of restaurateurs to the area, specializing in everything from Thai and Indian food to Japanese and Mediterranean cuisine. There's never a shortage of delicious choices; the hardest part is figuring out what you're in the mood for. Impressive restaurants unique to Bloomington include the Bombay House (an Indian restaurant close to campus), which has a lunch buffet during the week that could satiate the most intense hunger. There is also Michael's Uptown Café, which offers a cozy atmosphere and fantastic food with a New Orleans kick. Try the eggs Benedict for a great way to start the day. If more traditional American fare would hit the mark, Jimmy John's makes quality subs "so fast you'll freak," and Brave New Deli has a wide variety of sandwich choices.
Of course, Bloomington houses the requisite fast food and chain restaurants as well, but part of the allure of a small town with a big school in the middle is the explosion of culture. A student could probably eat three times a day at a different local restaurant for a month without repeating. If you have a craving for a favorite food, Bloomington has the answer.

Hasty M, Kness S, Klasner A, Denmark TK, Herman MI, Brown L. "Cutaneous Community-Associated Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (CA-MRSA) Infections in Two Geographically Distant Pediatric EDs."
Academic Emergency Medicine
14.1 (2007): 35-40. ( 1/2007 )
OBJECTIVES: To describe the culture results of cutaneous infections affecting otherwise healthy children presenting to two pediatric emergency departments (EDs) in the southeastern United States and southern California. METHODS: Medical records of 920 children who presented to the pediatric EDs with skin infections and abscesses (International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision codes 680.0?686.9) during 2003 were reviewed. Chronically ill children with previously described risk factors for community-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (CA-MRSA) were excluded. Data abstracted included the type of infection; the site of infection; and, if a culture was obtained, the organism grown, along with their corresponding sensitivities. RESULTS: Of the 270 children who had bacterial cultures obtained, 60 (22%) were CA-MRSA?positive cultures, most cultured from abscesses (80%). Of all abscesses cultured, CA-MRSA grew in more than half (53%). All CA-MRSA isolates tested were sensitive to vancomycin, trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, rifampin, and gentamicin. One isolate at each center was resistant to clindamycin. The sensitivities at both institutions were similar. CONCLUSIONS: The authors conclude that CA-MRSA is responsible for most abscesses and that the pattern of CA-MRSA infections in these geographically distant pediatric EDs is similar. These data suggest that optimal diagnostic and management strategies for CA-MRSA will likely be widely applicable if results from a larger, more collaborative study yield similar findings.
Denmark TK, Crane HA, Brown L. "Ketamine to avoid mechanical ventilation in severe pediatric asthma."
Journal of Emergency Medicine
30.2 (2006): 163-166. ( 3/2006 )
Children experiencing severe asthma exacerbations may deteriorate to respiratory failure requiring endotracheal intubation and mechanical ventilation. Mechanical ventilation is often life saving in this setting, but also exposes the asthmatic child to substantial iatrogenic risk. We present two cases of severe asthma exacerbations in prepubertal children for whom the administration of a bolus of intravenous ketamine followed by a continuous infusion of a relatively large dose of ketamine led to prompt improvement, obviating the need for mechanical ventilation. These cases suggest that for children experiencing severe asthma exacerbations, intravenous ketamine may be an effective temporizing measure to avoid exposing these children to the risks associated with mechanical ventilation.

UPDATE: Epic has released videos on Gametrailers unveiling UE4 publicly.
The first video is the full demo shown to licensees and media at GDC mentioned below.
The second, shows Alan Willard discussing the technical details of the new engine revision.
Original article follows.
Epic has raised the curtain on the secret Unreal Engine 4 in a presentation given at GDC 2012. Revealing a few key features of their next-generation engine to Wired, Epic suggests that the engine will significantly change the way games are made.
BackgroundThe first version of Epic's engine formed the core of the 1998 PC game Unreal (and later, Unreal Tournament). It contained:
- 3D renderer, supporting software rendering, 3DFX cards, OpenGL, and Direct3D
- Scripting language, UnrealScript
- Network communication system
- Sound engine
- Animation system
Unreal Engine 2 saw a rewrite of the several key engine components and the renderer, and added a physics system.
Unreal Engine 3 was a significant jump in feature set, although it was still based on many of the same core design philosophies.
- Significant improvements were made in the content production pipeline.
- Visual scripting engine, Kismet
- Improved particle editor system, Cascade
- Visual material/shader compiler
- Support for Xbox 360 and PS3
With these, and a number of other under-the hood features, it became the go-to engine for AAA studios seeking a development shortcut. (This version is still being iterated on, Flash support, as well as iOS, Android, and Vita support are active points of development.)
There were (and are) some inherent issues with UE3; however, the largest problem isn't limited to Epic's technology. The manpower and computational requirements for building a AAA 3D game have become enormous.
On UE3, Epic implemented Swarm, a feature that allows the lighting process to be distributed among multiple computers in a render farm, returning a good amount of time back to the LDs, but at the very tangible cost of expensive server hardware, or using the resources on coworkers' machines. (Note: this can also be achieved with cheap hardware laying around for users of the free UDK, but corporate users are less likely to risk their productivity on low-end hardware.)
Advances Found in Unreal Engine 4
Dynamic Global Illumination
One of the most important developments in Unreal Engine 4 is the use of a system where all lighting is dynamic. Every light, shadow, and bounce. By doing this, it will no longer be necessary to spend time time waiting for lighting to rebuild, and it removes the guesswork of fine-tuning level lighting. As the screenshots from the demonstration show, the results are dramatic and impressive. Even more incredible is that the demo is running on a single Kepler-generation NVIDIA GPU (the GTX 680). That being said, this is an engine demo, and not a full-featured game. They are likely pushing the hardware to its limits, but the promise is there.
The Pros:
- Many, many hours of time will be no longer wasted by developers waiting to get back to their project.
- Costs spent on electricity and hardware for computation will drop.
The Cons:
- It takes some serious hardware to get the results we're seeing in the demo. This cost gets passed onto the consumer.
GPU Particles
Particle systems have been the bane of game optimization ever since their inception. Either they didn't look good, or they reduced framerate to a crawl. Ask any professional game FX artist how he feels about being able to make "things that look cool", and how often his toys get taken away in the name of speed. UE4 looks to change that significantly with a drastically-improved GPU-augmented particle system. The system is capable of simulating over a million particles (compared to previous-generation's hundreds, at best), and is designed to allow real-time design interaction, as well as vector fields. The results are once again, very impressive, and it should be interesting to see more when more information goes public at E3.
So, you may think, "That's all well and good, but graphics don't matter to me." That's where the next change comes in.
The Evolution of Kismet
Unreal Kismet is being evolved to a far more powerful system. Epic claims that you will be able to create a mod entirely using the updated visual scripting system. The next generation of Kismet now allows for scripting of object behaviors, as well as the previous functionality for levels. It includes a system for visual debugging, as well as a template system referred to as blueprint, for placing of objects with pre-defined behaviors in the world.
For those wishing to customize further, programmers can click on a property and edit the C++ code directly, with no rebuild time required.
In the past, gameplay code existed in UnrealScript. UnrealScript is the scripting language which forms the core of current community mods, and much of the gameplay code of all previous Unreal Engine titles.
However, UnrealScript is being removed.
In its place, the engine will be 100% C++, and highly optimized. DLLs will still be supported on PC, but this is a significant change for almost every Unreal developer operating today, whether hobbyist or professional. This may have some very interesting ramifications in their development community.
What Does Unreal Engine 4 Mean For Studios Developing for Next-Gen Platforms?
Epic claims that their goal is to make it easier and more cost-efficient to produce next-generation titles. If able to deliver, they will once again own the majority of the engine market for AAA-level console and desktop games, albeit for what are currently off-the charts hardware for the average consumer.
Of course, UE4 titles won't be hitting retail until this power is far more commonplace. The real issue is for Microsoft and Sony, as they establish the specs for their next-generation Xboxes and Playstations. They have to make the cost decisions now (if they're not already made). Epic has made it clear this is their way of convincing the big console makers what they need to do to take things to the next level. (Epic already won this game with Microsoft once, for the Xbox 360).
Update 2:
Unity technologies has announced Unity 4, targeted for current-gen technology.

The Edmond Sun
As open enrollment for the Affordable Care Act began Tuesday, Congressman James Lankford voted that the Senate appoint members to a conference committee to discuss the future of the health care reform act.
This action comes after a congressional stalemate to prevent a partial government shutdown Tuesday. Lankford, R-Edmond, and other House Republicans are fighting to delay the Affordable Care Act's open enrollment for one year and to defund the health care law.
On Monday the Senate voted 54-46 against the House resolution to keep the government running at sequester levels until Dec. 15.
"Republicans are still playing games," Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said.
The House continuing resolution amendment included a provision to prevent members of Congress and their staff, the executive branch and their political appointees from receiving a special exemption from the ACA, Lankford said.
"It is clear that the House and Senate are at an impasse on how to fund the federal government," Lankford said. "We've sent three different proposals to the Senate, but they refused to seriously consider any of them."
Lankford said he is committed to restoring funding to the federal government as soon as possible.
"In addition, I am pleased that the president has signaled that he will sign into law a provision that the House passed unanimously on Saturday and the Senate passed today to provide uninterrupted funding for our troops and defense personnel in the event of a federal shutdown," Lankford said.
"Our nation's military should not suffer for Congress' inability to pass a budget that represents the demands of the American people," said U.S. Sen. Jim Inhofe, R-Okla.
President Obama on Monday warned a government shutdown "would throw a wrench into the gears of our economy at a time when those gears have gained some traction," according to whitehouse.gov.
Social Security checks, postal service and operations related to national security or public safety will continue, according to the White House. National parks and monuments are closed.
"Office buildings would close. Paychecks would be delayed. Vital services that seniors and veterans, women and children, businesses and our economy depend on would be hamstrung," Obama said. "Business owners would see delays in raising capital, seeking infrastructure permits, or rebuilding after Hurricane Sandy. Veterans who've sacrificed for their country will find their support centers unstaffed."
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced it has furloughed 9,000 employees. Lankford referred to the government shutdown as a "government slowdown."
Tinker Air Force Base issued a report stating that the government shutdown will be "extremely disruptive" to the base.
Functions essential to national security and public safety will continue, the report stated. However, civilian employees needed to accomplish these functions will be furloughed until the government shutdown ends. The entire Tinker AFB Public Affairs staff is now furloughed.
"All military personnel will remain on regular duty status, but approximately 2,900 of Tinker's 14,000 civilian employees will be furloughed until such time as federal funding is resumed," the report stated. "All personnel were required to report for duty as normal this morning. We are now providing specific duty instructions to furloughed and non-furloughed employees."

Fiskars and Duck Tape are teaming up to make the world smarter and more colorful together.
It's so easy with the new Fiskars® Duck® Edition scissors!
Electronic devices are smaller and they hold an incredible amount of information. The information stored in them is quickly and easily searchable using keywords. Many of the programs work in conjunction with one another. While personal organization has been streamlined and vastly improved with these options, when meshing all the activities and appointments of a family, the wall calendar is still the tool of choice for most of us. There is no learning curve for figuring out how to work it. Calendars are inexpensive. They are always in a central location and visible to everyone.
Again thanks to the digital age, our options for beautiful calendars is immense. You can have your own design printed inexpensively in a photo lab, there are online tools to assist with designing a calendar, and there are many preprinted calendars both online and in brick-and-mortar stores. Calendars can be small or they can be so large as to be the focal point of a wall.
The base for my calendar is a 17x12 stretched canvas. I simply covered it with muslin that I pulled to the back side of the wooden frame and stapled in place using my husband's staple gun. Any fabric, from burlap to satin, could be used for the base.
Planning for a fabric base does not mean paper is off limits. Using cardstock for the name of the month allowed me to use punches and book paper, two options that would not have been possible had I used fabric.
To allow me to customize each month with a seasonal color or holiday theme, I included a strip of fabric behind the name of the month. This can easily be replaced by attaching it with sewing pins or velcro circles rather than stitching it to the background fabric.
To create the daily space for my calendar, I used a small shipping tag as inspiration for my fabric tags. This was a great way to use up some scraps I had on hand. Each tag is made from 2 layers stitched together and when using thinner materials, I also used iron-in interfacing to add a little bit of stability. I used the piercing tool from the Sew Taxi to poke a hole in each tag for running the string through. The options for creating the daily space on a calendar are endless. I could have used the shipping tag itself to save time. I could have used lengths of a wider ribbon, with a "V" cut out of each end, folded in half over the string. I could have used circles or triangles. The options are limited only by your imagination. Fiskars offers many tools to help create these spaces from punched shapes, the use of Shape Cutting templates, and the Fuse die-cutting system.
Adding the numbers to the daily space offer another outlet for endless creativity. I envisioned using stamps when I planned this project but when I went looking, I didn't have any that were the right font and size. I was rummaging through my stash looking for other options and found some rub ons I bought probably 5 years ago. They are perfectly bold, perfectly sized, and perfectly vintage. Exactly what I was looking for. And it allowed me to pat myself on the back and reassure myself that being a "saver" may make my family shake their heads, but sometimes the pay off is big.
When I planned this project I intended to use Velcro circles to attach the daily spaces. As the project progressed, I changed my mind. I thought the strings would add to the rustic look I was trying to achieve. And to be completely transparent, the final deciding factor was it would mean accurately measuring for location and then hand sewing 10 little hangers instead of 70 Velcro circles. I used the eye part of a hook and eye attachment as my hangers. Other options that went through my mind were jump rings, also for tying the strings through, and buttons for wrapping the strings around.
Adding information to the tags can be as simple as jotting a quick note on a slip of paper and clipping it to the tag.
Or you can be more creative with activities that are likely to be repeated. Try using stamps either on fabric or paper.
You can also use punched shapes.
Get creative with ways to attach your activities to the tags. Repositionable note pads can be used on paper calendars. For fabric calendars, inexpensive sewing pins, tiny clothes pins, decorative metal paper clips, and small bull clips are all good options.

Is there a secret to landing a job in the field of global trade? The short answer: No. Long answer: It starts with a good international business education. The day you start high school, you should be thinking about your international career and how to develop it. If you are beyond that stage and are preparing to enter a college or grad school, find out if the school offers an in-house career development coach or counselor. If they don't, hire one yourself. After all, you are responsible for reaching your goals and making a difference in our world.
International business schools prepare students to master global business issues through study abroad experiences and specialized courses, from cross-cultural learning considerations to foreign manufacturing to global leadership skills. They also nurture students to become global entrepreneurs or help them find jobs in international business or at multinational companies.
That said, here's a look (in alphabetical order) at top-notch schools from around the world that can serve as a key to your world at any age, fostering a culture of high-level learning, providing a solid foundation to network globally and opening doors to a brighter global entrepreneurial or employment future.
1. Babson Global at Babson College (U.S.A.)Babson College is in pursuit of taking entrepreneurship global. Babson Global was created to manage Babson's global projects and activities that fall outside of their traditional offerings in undergraduate, graduate and executive education.

About 35 percent of their MBA students and over 60 percent of their executive education participants are from nations other than the U.S., bringing richness and depth of international perspective to their daily case discussions.
Twenty-five percent of cases produced by faculty each year deal explicitly with international business issues.
5. Hult International Business School (U.S.A.)
Hult claims to be the world's most international business school, offering students a unique opportunity to see the world while they study. As a graduate student, you can start anywhere and go anywhere. On Global Campus Rotation, you can pick your home campus and then choose to spend up to three months studying at two others.
Students could begin in Boston and then travel to Shanghai via London, or San Francisco via Dubai. The experience provides an inside look at the world's fastest growing economies and closely examines international business practices.
The school encourages personal growth, intellectual integrity, global sensitivity, local engagement, and civic values so that students are able to flourish in the global economy and are empowered to contribute meaningfully to their business and community.
6. IE (Spain)IE is an international institution dedicated to educating business leaders through programs based on their core values of global focus, entrepreneurial spirit and humanistic approach.
7. IESE Business School (Spain)
