Sudden Cardiac Arrest (cont.) IN THIS ARTICLE
Who Is At Risk for Sudden Cardiac Arrest?Each year, between 250,000 and 450,000 Americans have sudden cardiac arrest (SCA). Sudden cardiac arrest occurs most often in people in their mid-thirties to mid-forties. It appears to affect men twice as often as women. Sudden cardiac arrest rarely occurs in children unless they have inherited problems that make them likely to have sudden cardiac arrest. Only a very small number of children have sudden cardiac arrest each year. Major Risk Factors The major risk factor for sudden cardiac arrest is undiagnosed coronary artery disease (CAD). Most people who have sudden cardiac arrest are later found to have some degree of CAD. Most of these people don't know that they have CAD until sudden cardiac arrest occurs. Their CAD is "silent"—that is, it has no signs or symptoms. Because of this, doctors and nurses have not detected it. Most cases of sudden cardiac arrest happen in people who have silent CAD and who have no known heart disease prior to sudden cardiac arrest. Many people who have sudden cardiac arrest also have a silent, or undiagnosed, heart attack before sudden cardiac arrest happens. These people have no obvious signs of heart attack, and they don't even realize that they've had one. The chances for having sudden cardiac arrest are higher during the first 6 months after a heart attack. Other Risk Factors Other risk factors for sudden cardiac arrest include:

Solving real-world problems earns Chang-Dong Feng ISA's Beckman Award
By Jim Strothman
"It helps control corrosion in metal pipes, which contain water flowing at high temperatures and under high pressure. Because of the temperature and pressure, power industries need to be sure the water doesn't 'attack' the pipes and corrode them." —Feng
For decades, free chlorine—the active form of chlorine that kills bacteria and algae—has been widely used as a disinfectant by the drinking water industry, and for cleaning pools, bathtubs, and spas. However, an estimated 30% of the U.S. drinking water industry, in recent years, has begun using another form of chlorine, monochloramine (NH2Cl) instead of free chlorine.
That is because tests have shown free chlorine can trigger carcinogen byproducts, when combined with certain substances in water being treated. Also, the disinfecting lifetime of free chlorine is shorter than that of monochloramine.
However, drinking water suppliers converting to monochloramine had a problem. They lacked a reliable and wide-range monochloramine sensor. So in 2003, a small team of sensor experts led by Dr. Chang-Dong "CD" Feng at Rosemount Analytical Inc. successfully developed a patented design for monochloramine sensing. That work led to Rosemount's Model 499ACl-03 product now widely used by U.S. drinking water suppliers. The sensor provides stability and linearity with a range of 0-20 parts per million (ppm).
The monochloramine sensor's invention is among an impressive list of achievements that resulted in Feng, senior manager of sensor technology for Rosemount, an Emerson Process Management company, being awarded the 2007 ISA Arnold O. Beckman Founder Award. Given in honor of Dr. Arnold O. Beckman, founder of Beckman Instruments (now known as Beckman Coulter, Inc., Fullerton, Calif.), the award recognizes "an outstanding development in instrumentation that has had a significant contribution to the advancement of a technology." Feng's citation credits him "for the research and development of advanced electrochemical sensing and instrumentation."
Beckman, who served as ISA President in 1952, was an internationally recognized scientist, educator, executive, humanitarian, and civic leader. He died in 2004 at the age of 104. "Dr. Feng is being recognized for his contributions in the development of advanced electrochemical sensing and instrumentation for analysis applications," said Gerald Wilbanks, P.E., chair of ISA's Beckman award committee. "One area of development was a self depleting amperometric sensor for low level dissolved oxygen measurement with increased accuracy and detection capabilities. Several other devices are covered by patents and include an electrochemical gas sensor, a pH sensor with internal solution ground, and a chloramine amperometric sensor," he said.
"Dr. Feng has authored numerous papers on these topics and made presentations to various conferences concerning analytical advances and innovative measurement technology. His abilities to cross boundaries among scientific disciplines has brought electrical engineers, mechanical engineers, and chemists together for leading-edge development of practical solutions to difficult measurements," Wilbanks said.
"I'm very excited I won," said Feng, who holds a Ph.D. from Nagasaki University, Japan, and completed post doctorate work at Illinois Institute of Technology.
Developed oxygen sensors
In 1998, while then working for Teledyne Instruments, Feng developed an ultrafast oxygen sensor, now Teledyne's UFO-130 product, used in hospitals and sports physiology, as well as for monitoring oxygen levels in food packaging.
A potential life-saver, the sensor is the first microfuel cell-based oxygen gas sensor that reaches a 90% response time in 100 milliseconds at ambient temperature.
"Doctors, and especially anesthesiologists, wanted to measure the oxygen profile in a patient's breath during surgery," Feng said. "Under anesthesia, patients cannot tell you if they feel pain. By measuring oxygen and carbon dioxide level in a patient's breath, a surgeon may be able to estimate the status of the anesthesia, so they don't overdose the patient." Sports physiology—measuring the oxygen level in athletes—is currently another large market for the device, he said.
Electrical power-generating companies are major users of a Rosemount Analytical product developed by Feng's team, the 499ATrDO, a low-level, part per billion (ppb) trace oxygen sensor.
"It helps control corrosion in metal pipes, which contain water flowing at high temperatures and under high pressure. Because of the temperature and pressure, power industries need to be sure the water doesn't 'attack' the pipes and corrode them. They need a have a sensor to monitor that.
"In the past, that technology was developed in Europe, but the device was relatively complicated and costly," having a guard-ring electrode, Feng explained. "The concept I developed made it simple and lowered the cost" by eliminating the guard-ring. Feng estimated it can reduce costs by half and "improves performance even better than that because you have fewer components to worry about for maintenance, and less failure."
"The 499ATrDO sensor development project becomes the first R&D project that is led by mathematical modeling rather than by 'test-and-see,' " said Mark Bleak, vice president of R&D/Engineering for Rosemount Analytical's Liquid Division, in a letter endorsing Feng's nomination for the Beckman award. "Our sales in the high purity water ppb DO (dissolved oxygen) application are now 10 times more than that prior to the 499ATrDO release."
Free chlorine sensor
After developing the monochloramine sensor being widely installed by the U.S. water industry, Feng and a Rosemount colleague in 2006 designed the Model 498 free chlorine sensor. Widely used in South America, and elsewhere, Feng said the Model 498 is unique, because unlike other free chlorine sensors, which are pH dependent, the Model 498 is pH independent, eliminating the need and cost for a pH sensor. Other traditional methods for using free chlorine in water treatment require reagents to measure water color, which can be costly and environmentally suspect, Feng said.
Holder of seven granted patents, and numerous others still in the approval process, Feng also demonstrated expertise in sensor instrumentation by eliminating a problem with Rosemount's Model 1055 analytical instrument, a mid-tier heavily sold instrument with two-measurement capability.
After the product was released, some users found a pH/connectivity sensor combination because the pH sensor did not have its own solution ground. Feng figured out the problem was due to a ground loop, which involved the junction of the pH reference electrode. By jumping the solution ground and the reference electrode on the instrument with a capacitor, the problem was solved. His solution enabled Rosemount to avoid major re-engineering of the instrument and also led to one of his U.S. patents.
"It does not take long to realize the strength in (Feng's) academic training, and his R&D style of approaching real world challenges with scientific understanding," Bleak said. "All of his inventions are built on the science of the problem combined with the principle of the solution."

Sony patents 'smart wig': Toupee with sensors on the way?
A talking toupee? It might be a reality one day if Sony decides to do anything with a new patent it's been awarded.
The patent's broadly titled "Wearable Computing Device," but things get more detailed in the patent abstract:
"Wearable computing device, comprising a wig that is adapted to cover at least a part of a head of a user, at least one sensor for providing input data, a processing unit that is coupled to at least one sensor for processing said input data, and a communication interface that is coupled to the processing unit for communicating with a second computing device. The at least one sensor, the processing unit, and the communication interface are arranged in the wig and at least partly covered by the wig in order to be visually hidden during use." … Read more

Banner year? The Oct. 1 AIDS Walk (Photo by Todd Franson ) |
Though not quite on par with last year's figures, as yet, Kim Mills, communications director at Whitman-Walker Clinic, says this year's AIDS Walk was not too shabby. This, the 19th annual fundraising walk in the clinic's history has so far brought in $462,000, says Mills, compared with last year's $547,000.
''But checks keep coming in,'' says Mills, explaining a final tally for the Oct. 1 walk is still premature. ''We're still getting money.''
With the loss of their development director and a drastic fiscal shortcoming that surfaced earlier this year, Mills says preparations for this year's walk got off to a late start.
''We had some challenges this year, but I think everybody got up to speed very rapidly,'' she says. ''We're very happy with the results. We had a great event. We raised money for clinic services, and the community turned out enthusiastically.
''One lesson that we learned is that there are a lot of loyal walkers in the area. People come out year after year and expect to walk. We're proceeding right now with building a budget for next year's walk.''

Small sample size isn't the only thing that can skew early season standings. With just five series down, strength of schedule can vary greatly, dramatically impacting the number of W's and L's in every division. That is most true in the NL West, where the Dodgers have jumped out to a surprising commanding lead. Despite going just 3-3 since Sunday, Los Angeles leads the Rockies by 3.5 games.
A quick glance at the Dodgers' schedule reveals a big reason why. Coming into 2012, the four weakest NL teams were arguably the Padres, Pirates, Astros and Mets. Of the Dodgers' 16 games, 13 have come against those weak teams. The other three were in a 3-game set in Milwaukee, the only series they have lost.
In contrast, each of the other three contenders in the division have faced the four weaklings in the NL no more than six times. One would expect the division to tighten up once the schedule starts evening out a little more. But before we ignore the Dodgers altogether, they deserve a little credit.
In 13 games against weak competition, Los Angeles has lost two games. The Rockies and Diamondbacks have lost more than that in just 6 games of their soft schedule. The Giants have lost two of five.
Opponents | Record | |
Dodgers | PIT/SDP/HOU | 11-2 |
Giants | PIT/NYM | 3-2 |
Rockies | HOU/SDP | 3-3 |
Diamondbacks | PIT/SDP | 3-3 |
The Dodgers have had a fluff schedule, but they've treated it like one more than any of their NL West foes, and in a larger sample to boot.
NL West Report
Arizona (8-8, W1, t-3rd, 4.0 GB)
Last Week: 2-5. 1-2 vs. Pirates. 1-3 vs. Braves. After starting the season 4-0, the Diamondbacks have lost three consecutive series. Their win yesterday broke a five game losing streak.
You Should Know: Much was made of Kevin Towers' restructure of the Arizona roster and its ensuing decrease in strikeouts in 2011. So far, Arizona has the highest strikeout rate in the National League. So much for that. /Kubel'd
Next Week: 3 game home series vs. Phillies, first 3 games of a 4 game road series @ Marlins.
Divisional Change: Fell into third place and fell 1.5 games behind the Dodgers.
News: After the Diamondbacks signed Jason Kubel to block Gold Glover Gerardo Parra, many were confused. While it may not have been the chief concern, Kevin Towers had to realize the Diamondbacks' outfield depth was minimal. Now Chris Young is on the disabled list and Justin Upton played yesterday for the first time since Monday with a thumb injury. Now Kubel and Parra are both playing, but Kubel hasn't exactly hit well.
The injury bug isn't just biting outfielders. Daniel Hudson hit the DL with a shoulder impingement last week. While an MRI revealed no structural damage and he is expected to recover by the time his 15 days are up, shoulder injuries are always the most worrisome.
Hudson's spot in the rotation comes up today for the first time. With Patrick Corbin, Trevor Bauer and Tyler Skaggs all as varying degrees of prized horses in the stable,Arizona will turn to...Wade Miley.
Jeff Suppan is pitching in Arizona, though he is doing it in AAA for the Tucson Padres. Suppan was a member of the 1998 Diamondbacks team, as mentioned by the Tucson Citizen.
AJ Pollock got the call to the majors when Chris Young hit the disabled list. Pollock was selected 17th in the 2009 draft, two slots after Alex White and six spots after Tyler Matzek. After 12 plate appearances last week, Pollock is still looking for this first big league hit.
Jim McLennan has an interesting post on most unbreakable season records. If the obvious answer doesn't stick out now, it will smack you in your face when you get to it.
Quotable: Daniel Hudson, on his shoulder injury:
"It's scary, especially because I've never felt it before,. All the worst thoughts go through your mind. You hear so many stories about guys who don't bounce back from shoulder injuries. You just pray for the best."
Transactions: Called up IF Cody Ransom and OF A.J. Pollock (4/18). Called up RHP Jonathan Albaladejo from AAA Reno (4/21). Acquired 3B Josh Bell from Orioles for PTBNL (4/21).
Injuries: Placed IF Geoff Blum (oblique) on 15-day DL retroactive to April 17 (4/18). Placed CF Chris Young (shoulder) on the 15-day DL (4/18). Placed RHP Daniel Hudson (shoulder) on the 15-day DL, retroactive to April 19 (4/21). Stephen Drew (ankle) ran the bases fully on Saturday for the first time. Takashi Saito's calf stiffened up during drills Friday.
Los Angeles (12-4, L1, 1st)
Last Week: 3-3. 1-2 @ Brewers. 2-1 @ Astros. Two of the Dodgers' four losses were by one run. One was by four runs, but their bullpen allowed four runs in the eighth inning. Then there was yesterday, when the Dodgers got blanked 12-0.
You Should Know: Matt Kemp and Andre Ethier have combined for 2.7 fWAR. The rest of the lineup: a 1.2 fWAR combined.
This Week: 3 game home series vs. Braves. 3 game home series vs. Nationals.
Divisional Change: Despite going 3-3, the Dodgers gained a game ahead of the second place team.
News: Mike Axisa says it is a "make or break year" for James Loney. The Dodgers won't land Albert Pujols, Prince Fielder or Joey Votto, but the way things have gone, James Loney may have just as good of a chance of being a Dodger in 2013 as that trio.
Matt Kemp is in full beast-mode this season, and eight of his nine home runs have gone to the opposite field. But it should be noted that six of his nine homers are classified as "just enough" or "lucky." Not a single one has been hit well enough to leave all 30 MLB parks.
Andre Ethier has hit well so far as well, but that's about it for the Dodgers.
As Eric Stephen points out, a weather postponement yesterday killed a potential Clayton Kershaw-Stephen Strasburg on Saturday. Instead, Chad Billingsley will match up with Strasburg.
Stan Kasten promises the Dodgers' new ownership group has more moneyafter paying $2.15 billion in cash to purchase the team.
Jon Paul Morosi thinks the Dodgers are a playoff caliber team.
Ken Rosenthal suggests the Dodgers could be a landing spot for AJ Pierzynski. The Dodgers' catchers are AJ Ellis and Matt Treanor.
Former Cub and current Dodger minor league reliever Angel Guzman has been suspended 50-games for a second violation of a drug of abuse.
Quotable: Matt Kemp on his hitting approach:
"I want to represent this franchise as good as possible. Put us on the map again. I don't even look at records. It would be awesome to be known as one of the best hitters. That's what I'm planning on doing."
Injuries: Juan Uribe is day to day with a sore wrist.
San Diego (5-12, 5th, 7.5 GB)
Last Week: 3-4. 1-2 @ Rockies. 2-2 vs. Phillies. How do the Padres split a series against the Phillies? It helps to face Joe Blanton and a clearly off Roy Halladay.
You Should Know: The Padres opened 2012 3-12 for the first time in 25 years. They are 1-3 in 1-run games and 0-2 in extra innings.
This Week: 3 game home series vs. Nationals. 3 game road series @ Giants.
Divisional Change: Fell a half game off the Dodgers' pace.
News: Coming into last season, Orlando Hudson was to be San Diego's 3-hole hitter. Now the Padres are prepared to release Hudson, even though it would require eating $7.5million in salary. He has hit poorly and hasn't helped in the clubhouse either, according to Scott Miller.
Quotable: Scott Miller of CBS Sports has a scout source who pulls no punches when describing Orlando Hudson this season:
"It's like (Hudson)'s playing T-ball...Run til you're out. He plays so deep at second base because his range is gone. And then he dives at balls like he's body surfing. It is very appropriate," the scout said, "that he is playing his final year at Petco Park."
Transactions: Optioned RHP Brach Brach to AAA Tucson and activated OF Mark Kotsay from the 15-day DL (4/16).
Injuries: RHP Dustin Moseley was diagnosed with a torn labrum in his shoulder and will likely miss the 2012 season. UT Logan Forsythe (foot) visited with team doctors at Petco Park and took batting practice Friday. OF Carlos Quentin took batting practice and jogged last week; Quentin's return is expected this week. RHP Tim Stauffer (elbow) threw a 35-pitch bullpen session Saturday.
San Francisco (7-7, t-3rd, 4.0 GB)
Last Week: 3-2. 2-1 vs. Phillies. 1-1 @ Mets. Yesterday's game at Citi Field was postponed.
You Should Know: Due to the rain out yesterday, the Giants will need a spot starter Friday. This is where Eric Surkamp being on the disabled list hurts.
This Week: Final two games of a 4-game road series @ Mets. 3 game road series @ Reds. 3 game home series vs. Padres. Yep, that's eight games in seven days, including two plane flights.
Divisional Change: Moved into a tie for third place and gained a half game on the Dodgers.
News: Madison Bumgarner signed a record contract for a player with one year service time. The contract guarantees Bumgarner $35million through 2017, with a $12million vesting/club option for 2018 and $12 club option for 2019. From the Giants side, they have Bumgarner under control for $49million for the next eight seasons. From Bumgarner's side, he gets substantial financial security very early in his career. If he wins a Cy Young Award, his 2018/19 option increase, and he could earn $57million in that span. After 2019, Bumgarner will have just turned 30.
On Tulo: From where I sit, the Rockies just took on too much needless risk. This seems like a deal they should have sat on for another year at least.On MadBum: The Giants potentially save significant dollars and get to keep one of their best young players in the organization through most of his expected prime...(a) win-win deal.
Despite the Giants opening their wallets, MLBTR readers believe the Cain/Bumgarner extensions are signs the Giants won't be able to afford extending Tim Lincecum.
The Giants have no plans to alter AT&T Park to make the park more hitter friendly. After extending Matt Cain and Madison Bumgarner, that's a big duh.
Aubrey Huff played second base over the weekend for the first time in his career. He did not handle it as well as Garrett Atkins did.
Quotable: While playing second base, Aubrey Huff butchered a potential double play ball by running towards first base, not second, on a ground ball to shortstop. On the misplay:
"It's just my natural instinct. My whole life, if the ball gets hit to my right, I'm going to first. That was my first move. I mean, I knew where I was, but that's just my natural instinct my whole career."
Transactions: None.
Injuries: RHP Brian Wilson underwent Tommy John surgery on Thursday. 2B Freddy Sanchez is scheduled to begin a rehab assignment today and suffer a setback by Wednesday. IF Ryan Theriot is day to day with the flu.

Long Island Memories
Three Candidates Vie For Two Plainedge School Board Posts Three candidates will vie for two Plainedge School Board vacant posts at the Thursday, October 17 elections. Donald M. Kanter of 344 Virginia Avenue, Massapequa, has filed for the nine month seat on the Plainedge Board of Education left vacant by the resignation of Mrs. Gerri Palancia. Kanter ran unsuccessfully against Mrs. Palancia in 1966 and again in 1968 against Hugh Burr. He will be opposed by Mrs. Joan Lambert-son of Suffolk Avenue. James A. Miller is running unopposed for the two year- nine months term left vacated by the resignation of Lawrence I. Hammer. ( See legal notice for details) Kanter made the following statement to The Observer: " I have been actively interested for over 14 years in serving the youth of our community thru my activities in sports and education. Within the next few weeks the Board of Education will start to tackle the budget and begin negotiations with the several groups within our district. I am also aware, by my constant attendance at board meetings, that there are still unfulfilled educational needs in the areas of curriculum and guidance. We have been making great strides in improving our educational system and I would like the opportunity to help continue this forward step. I believe that I can be of great Albany Open Line by Alex Rankin With the election four short weeks away, the man coordinating the Republican underdog drive to recapture control of the state Assembly from Democrats says everything looks good. Republican Assemblyman John IL Terry of Syracuse now thinks Republicans have an excellent chance of picking up nine seats from Democrats, and " fair to good" chances of holding on to all the seats they now have in the 150- member house. A nine- vote pickup would give Republicans a narrow- three- vote majority in the Assembly. Terry, a close associate of Assembly Republican minority leader Perry B. Duryea Jr. of Montauk, L. I., is campaign coordinator for the Republican effort to recapture the Assembly. Terry is considered by many to be an expert on campaigns. One reason, as some Republican candidates around the state have found out, is that he is coldly objective when it comes to analyzing what is wrong with their campaigns. Here is Terry's analysis of the Republican chances so far: Republican Ron Tills, says Terry, is running a good campaign against Democratic incumbent Mrs. Dorothy Rose of Angola in the Buffalo area and has a chance to win there. An attack on her voting record, says Terry, is getting through to voters. In the Niagara area, Mrs. Betty Farrell was running a good race against Gregory Pope, the Democratic incumbent of Lockport, until she was injured in an auto accident, Terry says it is uncertain what effect her stay in the hospital - meaning she was unable to be out campaigning - will have on her chances. In 1966 William Steinfeld lost to Charles Stockmeisterof Rochester by 132 votes. Terry thinks Steinfeld can upset the Democratic incumbent, Stock-meister, this time. " Richard Nixon will help in this race," said Terry. Another place Nixon's coat-tails will help, says Terry, is in the Cortland- Cayuga Counties fight between Dr. Max L. Fox, the Republican and Lou Michaels, the Democrat. There is no incumbent here, because of the decision of Republican I/) uis Folmer of Homer not to run again. Still another place where votes for Nixon may produce a Republican upset, says Terry, is in Plattsburgh, where Republican Andrew Ryan Jr. is running against Ixnris Wolfe, The Democratic incumbent. Republicans are spending a lot of tim3 and money trying to get rid of Wolfe, who rode in on the 1965 Goldwater disaster. In the Hudson Valley, Emile Petros of Poughkeepsie has an excellent chance of upsetting the incumbent, Victor Wary as, says Terry. .,, , The best chance in the entire state for' an upset, said Terry, is in the 96th AD of Rockland and Orange Counties, where former Assemblyman Dan Becker is running against the Democratic incumbent, Gordon Cameron. " If I were a betting man," said Terry, " my first bet would be on the Republican in this district." In Yonkers, Republican Peter Chi ma, a Yonkers city councilman, looks " pretty good" to Terry for an upset over Tom Melnemey. Terry also sees " excellent possibilities" of picking upscat-tered seats in Queens, Nassau and Suffolk Counties now held by Democrats. A three- vote margin doesn't seem to be much to work on. " That's right," replied Terry, " but any time you start out with the opposition taking two thirds of the seats before you can even get to the north Bronx line, it's going to be close." Jackson Pokress ( right) of North Massapequa, president of the Press Photographers Association of Long Island, goes through some hi jinks with Les Sevensen, president of the National Press Photographers Association prior to the First Annual Long Island Awards dinner to be held this Friday at the Huntington Town House. Farmingdale OBSERVER - Thursday, October 10, 1968 service to the board at this time because of my experience and continuing dedication to the educational needs of our children. Kanter served as Past Commissioner of the Plainedge Little League; past Vice President of the Plainedge Babe Ruth League; a member of the Citizens Advisory Committee on Transportation; the Citizens Advisory Committee on Recreation; the Planning Committee for the Plainedge Community Center; was Past Chancellor of the Knights of Pythias as a member of the Boy Scouts Council.

GOP President's Council Slates Rally The Presidents Council of the Town of Oyster Bay Republican Clubs will hold a rally at the Sons of Italy Hall, on Wednesday, October 16 at 8 p. m.

Sons of Italy Make Petito Man of the Year On Saturday evening, October 12th, members of Columbus Lodge, Order Sons of Italy will honor Oyster Bay Town Supervisor Michael N. Petito as " Man of the Year." The dinner- dance will begin with cocktails at 7 p. m. with dinner scheduled for 8 pjn. The guest speaker for the evening will be the Honorable Michael Musmano, Justice of the Supreme Court of the State of Pennsylvania. Petito is a charter member of the Columbus Lodge. Guido Massemei is the dinner chairman. Ginsberg Will Try Again On Escrow Money Interest Assembly Martin Ginsberg said he plans to re- introduce his bill to compel all banks, mortgage lenders, insurance and investment companies to pay interest on escrow monies deposited by homeowners for the payment of taxes, insurance premiums and water rents. " My bill was lobbied to death by these affected institutions at the last session of the Legislature," Ginsberg said. " But I feel it will have a better chance of passage at the next session since it is receiving increasing public support as evidenced by letters and phone calls I have been receiving, as well as the strong support of Attorney General Louis Lefkowitz, who is backing my bill 100 per cent." Ginsberg noted that at present, homeowners as a condition of obtaining a mortgage must agree to make regular deposits into an escrow account to assure that the lending institution will be able to pay taxes, insurance premiums and water rents. The nancial institution pays no interest on these escrow accounts which combined run into the millions of dollars. The financial institutions are permitted to use escrow money for investment purposes and for financial benefit to themselves while the homeowner whose money is being used get nothing. " If the average mortgage," said Ginsberg, " has an interest rate of six per cent and costs the financial institution one per cent or less to service it, there is no reason why the financial institution should not pay interest on the remaining five per cent. Banks and other financial institutions may not like my bill but thousands of small homeowners are all for it." CP Auxiliary Slates Dinner Meet Plainedge Auxiliary of United Cerebral will hold its Annual Paid- Up Membership dinner on Thursday, October 17th, at 7: 30 p. m. at Kwong Ming Chinese Restaurant, Wantagh.

Huiiiiiiiiiiiiitujfiii iifiiiiiMiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitiun44iiiiifiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitijiiiiiint! Uiir District 22 A progress report on the five and one half million senior high school expansion was given by a representative of the architectural firm of Knappe and Johnson. Clerk of the Works Richard Glieck and principal John Mc Lerman also reported at Monday's regular school board meeting. It was pointed out that part of the building under construction has no roof and that rain and lack of sufficient heat pose some problems. In a short time, it was promised, that the building would be fully enclosed. Some students will be moved into the new wing during the major renovation period. A report on the Corrective Reading Program was given by staff members Jerry Marcus and Barbara Gillies. The program will be given this year to public and parochial students during regular school hours with emphasis on parent involvement. Marcus, who said that the program was for the most part federally funded was initiated by the government. He suggested that whether or not it will be federally funded in the future, the Board should consider a district take over on the project, because of its necessity. A remedial math program and others should also be explored. Miss Gillies stated that 155 public and parochial students will be in the program which will begin later this month, with the use of parttime teachers who will devote three to four hours a day, three days a week to the program. Last year the Federal government paid $ 101,000 and this year $ 76,000 is anticipated. Since East Memorial school had its own reading consultant, a question was asked whether that school had a special problem in reading. Miss Gillies stated that she had no specific school- by- school comparison. Trustee Leroy Mollineaux favored the continuance of the program, even though it was federally supported and which he usually doesn't support " Because of the reading problems in the district, he would go along with it. The vote was unanimous. The position of Assistant Business Manager was abolished by board vote and Arthur J. Falborn of 12 Hitchcock Lane, South Farmingdale was provisionally appointed to the newly created post of accountant at a salary of $ 9,609. Mrs. Cleo H. Green, former school lunch manager, was rehired, effective October 14 at a salary of $ 9,500 p? r year. A field trip for 150 high school students and three chapsrones to see a performance of ' Oedipus Rex' at Princeton University on Thursday, March 6 was approved at a cost of $ 405 for transportation. Students w- jre to pay for their own tickets. A taxpayer, A mold DiSUvestro, took exception to the school board's action in retaining Equitable Life for insuring school teachers. He claimed that he had submitted proposals " which were as good as the others", but that the school board and administration had given him the run a-round'. He posed a series of questions at the board and ended by saying that M was glad that his firm did not secure the contract because he * would have the teachers on his back'. He said that the so- called expert who had advised the Board on Eqjitable was not a licensed life insurance expert. Trustee Thomas Lavan said that Mr. DiSilvestro's proposal would cost more money. Trustee Roy Spinetta, who said that he is no longer Insurance Chairman, then spoke up and said that the Equitable proposal contained a sentence that they wjre endorsed by the Farmingdale teachers. He seemed perturbed by the inclusion of the statement. He also stated that the original specifications had 13 changes. Board President, Mrs. Lucille Goulding stated that the insurance contract was binding on an annual basis with option to cancel at any time. DiSilvestro had charged that the Board was not aware that a binder by the Board constituted a contract. Trustee Lavan then announced that the teacher insurance contract would cost taxpayers about $ 12,000 per year based on a $ 2,500 policy and that teachers had an option to purchase an additional $ 7,500 worth of insurance on their ow. i. Former Trustee Bernard Lang stated that the teacher insurance program was not a bid item. Several appointments were made to citizens committee by the board. Named to the Transportation Committee wire: Adeline Kuhlenkamp and Judith Sturtz. Max Slansky was added to the Public Relations Committee and Joan Ettieri was named to the Swimming Pool Committee.

Community Talk 11a - 2P |
Brought to you by Signature In Home Care
Wednesday, March 7, 2012
The Anniston Board of Education spoke to some 60 or people in a nearly-full cafeteria at Tenth Street Elementary Tuesday evening about the system's need to reorganize and possibly consolidate.
Superintendent Joan Frazier spoke to the crowd about why the system needs to reorganize. The system's five elementary schools vary widely in enrollment from an official count of 355 at Tenth Street, the largest elementary school to 154 at Cobb, the smallest elementary school.
The system will have to at least rezone the attendance lines of the schools in order to even out the attendance. But the system could do more. It has experienced falling enrollment. Since 1998, enrollments declined by 1,020 students. The number of schools, though, has remained constant since the system closed Norwood School in 2001, Frazier said.
Frazier noted that systems with many more students are not operating as many facilities as Anniston.
Cutting facilities could help the system provide more for its students, Frazier said.
But parents at the meeting were concerned about how the reorganization would affect their students. Several parents mentioned concerns about class size.
"You gave us the breakdown of the students at each elementary school and me personally of course I like the numbers," said one parent. "Because the smaller the class the better."
Another parent asked if the system would lose special education teachers in a consolidation.
Frazier said she didn't think class size would increase.
"The teachers will follow the students," Frazier said.
It is the infrastructure of the system that would be reduced –- things like bus routes, lunchroom personnel, administrators, maintenance and utilities –- and less money spent on infrastructure means more money to be spent on students, she said.
Wherever the children are moved to, that school would add teachers to teach them, Frazier said. The conversation quickly turned to money. For years, the Anniston school system has received little local funding beyond what the city is required to collect on its behalf. That means the system gets by mostly on state funding, which is based on system enrollment, Frazier said.
"The state funding program ... provides the foundation," Frazier said. "Most of our neighbors, particularly if they are a city system, get a huge sum of money from their city."
That money can be used to fulfill local wishes within the system such as adding technology to the classrooms, adding teachers or adding extra curriculum such as languages, advanced classes, art or music.
"We don't get a check written to us for whatever amount of money –- like neighboring systems get –- to run programs, add programs, develop programs, hire teachers," Frazier said. "We do not and have not for quite some time."
Anniston schools have four or five teachers paid through local funding. This year, the Anniston City Council did give the system some money it requested to add some vocational programs. It also recently passed a one-cent sales tax that will begin on April 1 which it designated for a number of purposes. The members have yet to actually decide how to divvy up the money, though. While the system is grateful for that, it's far less than what neighboring cities have done, Frazier said.
Board Member William Hutchings also weighed in on the issue.
"The election is coming up and you've got kids in this system, I don't care if you're a councilman, a woman or anything, if they cannot support education, do not vote for them," Hutchings said. "We've been lacking for years in this city and the mayor has never given the school system any money."
He received applause and murmurs of agreement during his speech.
Board President Mary Harrington also told the crowd that, while money isn't everything, it can affect the quality of their children's education.
"The more money that we are able to save, allows for the programs, allows for the technology," Harrington said.
For instance, she said the state gives its school systems $15.88 per textbook. The cheapest textbook she has found was $45, Harrington said.
"Money matters," Harrington said.

Digit on Wheels: Little Dog, Big PersonalityHello HandicappedPets.com, Digit is a little miracle. The Walkin Wheels Mini has been a blessing. At first he was a little freaked out by the thing on his back, but he started moving, and when he did, his tail went straight up and wagged. Only his second day in his wheels and he chased his laser toy! After three weeks, Digit met us one morning at our bedroom door standing on his own and wagging his tail. For the last week his condition has improved so much. He is still a little wobbly, but he is now walking, running, doing his business normal, and trying to have his way with the cats just like he used to. He does walk like he just left a bar at 3 a.m., but it is progress! Yesterday he even leaned back on his hind end and said please for his treat. We haven't seen that one in months. I fully credit the Mini Walking Wheels, a super vet, and tons of love and patience for his getting better. He got really wild in his wheels, chased a cat and did some drifting in the gravel, sliding sideways when he turned. It was hilarious. He chased the mail carrier and my daughter had to run him down, he was moving fast! We put him in his Walkin' Wheels for some for exercise, but he wont quit trying to be normal, which is great. We are hoping he will not need them soon and maybe we can pass them on to another furbaby that could use them. We are praying hard for a full recovery. We did not have much hope when we first found out he couldn't walk. Watching him pull himself and drag his back end was heartbreaking. Seeing him pick up that little butt and fight the way he has, has turned it all to joy. Digit and his wheels have given us lots of hope and inspiration, he is very entertaining anyway, but even more so in his wheels. I am attempting to put some videos we have of him together and make a good one. I will send a copy as soon as possible. Thank you so much for checking in with him, it means the world to him and his humans! GO DIGIT GO!!!!!!!! -Keith |

2 out of 3 people recommended this car.
by pam from dallas | December 22, 2012
We got the 128 after a 2008 135. Wow, what a difference! The 128 gets terrible gas mileage (20 vs 26 for the 135) and it has dog performance with regard to handling and acceleration. I wish I had driven the car before ordering it because it would have been a no go. I never knew a 50 year old women could be a performance snob.

by Dick from Scaumburg, IL | June 14, 2012
I bought a 2010 dealer executive driven Coupe and could not be happier. Pick-up is excellent, as are braking power and handling. My first BMW. I'm a little suprised at reviews that berate gas mileage, as I get 25 MPG in my combo highway and suburban driving, about 250 miles per week for my first year of ownership. Ride is good, but the leather bucket seat is a litte stiff - but that's pretty minor. 6-speed Steptroniic is smooth....in fact....so is the whole car!

This is a fun car to drive, sporty looking, powerful, etc. It would be wonderful if BMW could also figure out the magical formula of making a high-performance car with some sort of fuel efficiency. After 2 months of driving this car, both city and highway, it only averages 14mpg.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Network shares - isn't it safe to copy my files with sensitive data to my share?A: It would be considered safer to some extent. The risk eliminated by moving a file with sensitive data from your local machine to the shares server is a physical one. The shares server is more physically secure than your local machine. However, if your Windows password is compromised, the data on your share is compromised and would be considered a breach requiring notification of anyone whose SSN is on your share. Your goal should be to eliminate storage of any sensitive data anywhere in your control.
Q: What if I have SSN's in old email messages?A: Email is not stored on your computer - it is stored on a server at ITS. The same concept applies as with network shares - if your password is compromised then, potentially those SSN's have been compromised. Effectively this means emails containing SSN's should be deleted. At this time, we don't have a solution to detect SSN's in email. It could be considered a lower priority than cleaning up your computer, network shares, and bogie download directory but it should still be done. Your goal should be to eliminate storage of any sensitive data anywhere in your control.
Q: I have PGP encryption on my computer so I'm totally protected, right?A: Whole disk encryption is intended to protect access to files on your computer in the event the computer is stolen. It will not protect access to files in the event that a password is compromised.
Q: What if I need to store SSN's to do my job?A: You are not authorized to store Social Security Numbers in any way (hard drive, shared drive, email, spreadsheet, Word document, web page) unless you have been granted an exemption.Key points to remember:

Todd Phillips Delivers a Most Welcome 'Hangover'
Todd Phillips may never be afforded the same respect as his more venerated peers, if only because directors who spend their careers chronicling the foolishness of badly behaving men rarely do. But it's hard to ignore his track record.
Save for his remake of Robert Hamer's 1960 comedy School for Scoundrels, unseen by me but roundly dismissed by others, Phillips has earned justified praise for his affable depictions of testosterone-driven silliness in movies like Road Trip and Old School. The Hangover finds him going to the well once more, with results that are laughably deranged but hardly preposterous to anyone who's ever lost a weekend in Vegas.

Munshiganj (Bengali: মুন্সীগঞ্জ) also historically known as Bikrampur is a district[1] in central Bangladesh. It is a part of the Dhaka Division and borders Dhaka District.
Total land area is 235974 acres (954 km²), out of which 138472 acres (560 km²) are cultivable and 5609 acres (23 km²) are fallow land. It has no forest area. 40277 acres (163 km²) of land is irrigated while 26242 acres (106 km²) of land is under river. It has 14 rivers of 155 km passing through.[2]
The district consists of 6 upazilas:
- Lohajang Upazila
- Sreenagar Upazila
- Munshiganj Sadar Upazila
- Sirajdikhan Upazila
- Tongibari Upazila
- Gazaria Upazila
Munshiganj is one of the largest producers of potatoes in Bangladesh. It produces significant amounts of jute, rice, wheat and other vegetables. It also produces sugar cane and bananaa.
Bikrampur (Munshiganj) was the political and cultural centre of ancient Bengal. It was officially known as Bikrampur until 1986 and was part of Dhaka District. The remains of the city of Bikrampur, the capital of the ancient kingdoms of southeastern Bengal, are lost and its location can only be guessed on the basis of available data. Bangla, Old History
It was the capital city of the Candra, Varman and Sena dynasties, from the beginning of the 10th century AD to the beginning of the 13th century AD.
The name of Bikramapur survived in the name of a pargana in the Mughal period. Today the name does not exist even officially; but the inhabitants of a vast tract of land in the Munshigonj district still feel pride in saying that they belong to Bikramapur, which, of course, emanates from the past glory of the area. Also, within the confines of Munshigonj, the colonial era mansion of Badrul Islam, the renowned Kombal merchant, is located. Today it is a sacred site for Tibetan Buddhists.
The district of Munshiganj consist 3254 mosques, 348 temples, nine Buddhist temples and a church here.

Winter swimming
From Openwaterpedia
Winter swimming is any form of swimming that would be extreme in terms of distance, water temperature or water conditions done in winter. It can be performed in a body of water with a frozen crust of ice, or under the hot tropical sun.
Winter swimming may be synonymous with Extreme swimming or Avantouinti or Ice swimming in colder countries. This requires either breaking the ice or entering where a spring keeps the water from freezing over. This may also be simulated by a pool of water at 0°C, the temperature at which water freezes. Ice swimmers typically dip their heads below the surface to ensure that they are completely wet, whether or not the water is over their heads. They usually do not swim beneath the ice, as it is easy to get disoriented when turning around and not be able to find one's way back to the hole. Some ice swimmers avoid this problem by swimming from one hole to another, or by swimming under the ice while tethered to the shore.
Contents |
Northern Europe
In Finland, Northern Russia, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Estonia, Lithuania and Latvia, the winter swimming tradition has been connected with the sauna tradition.
Ice swimming on its own is especially popular in Finland. There is an Avantouinti (ice-hole swimming) and the Avantouinti Society.
United Kingdom
Famous locations include the Serpentine Lake in Hyde Park, London.
In Harbin, northern China, many ice swim in the Songhua River.
There are strong traditions for ice swimming and dousing with cold water in Russia. They are done for health benefits, as a ritual of the Orthodox Church for the feast of the Baptism of Our Lord, and for sports. Such club members are called "walruses" (Russian: моржи) instead of "polar bears".
North America
The members of Canadian and American Polar Bear Clubs go outdoor bathing or swimming in the middle of winter. In some areas it is unusual or ceremonial enough to attract press coverage. Polar Bear Swims are conducted as fund-raisers for charity, notably the Special Olympics.
The oldest ice swimming club in the United States is the Coney Island Polar Bear Club of Coney Island, New York, who hold an annual polar plunge on New Year's Day as well as regular swims every Sunday from November to April.
International Ice Swimming Association
The International Ice Swimming Association was founded by Ram Barkai of South Africa and conducts 600m and 1-mile swims in open bodies of water whose water temperatures are less than 5°C (41°F).
World Winter Swimming Championships
The World Winter Swimming Championships are also held annually in Europe where Extreme swimming events attract hundreds of athletes from dozens of countries.

agile; also called Ornan 1 Chr. 21:15, a Jebusite who dwelt in Jerusalem before it was taken by the Israelites. The destroying angel, sent to punish David for his vanity in taking a census of the people, was stayed in his work of destruction near a threshing-floor belonging to Araunah which was situated on Mount Moriah. Araunah offered it to David as a free gift, together with the oxen and the threshing instruments; but the king insisted on purchasing it at its full price (2 Sam. 24:24; 1 Chr. 21:24, 25), for, according to the law of sacrifices, he could not offer to God what cost him nothing. On the same place Solomon afterwards erected the temple (2 Sam. 24:16; 2 Chr. 3:1). (See ALTAR.)
