Nice Guys should always finish first
This is a tribute to the nice guys. The nice guys that finish last, that never become more than friends, that endure hours of whining and bitching about what assholes guys are, while disproving the very point. This is dedicated to those guys who always provide a shoulder to lean on but restrain themselves to tentative hugs, those guys who hold open doors and give reassuring pats on the back and sit patiently outside the changing room at department stores. This is in honor of the guys that obligingly reiterate how cute/beautiful/smart/funny/sexy their female friends are at the appropriate moment, because they know most girls need that litany of support. This is in honor of the guys with open minds, with laid-back attitudes, with honest concern. This is in honor of the guys who respect a girl

Some people believe that Jesus was their race and color, that others really are inferior. Say that's true, but your actions toward others — do they honor or embarrass Jesus?
The Bible says, "He who does not love does not know God, for God is love" (1 John 4:8), God "desires all men (not just some) to be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth" (1 Timothy 2:4), "God does not show partiality but accepts people of every nation who fear him and do what is right." (Acts 11:34; Romans 2:1-11)
"Do to others as you want them to do to you (Matthew 7:12), "Love enemies" (Matthew 5:44), "Judge not" (Romans 14:10), "God's eyes are in every place, watching the evil and the good." (Proverbs 15:3)
Many, falsely informed, believe one race is cursed. "Cursed?" If everyone knew what race and color Jesus really was, many would be shocked, especially non-Jews "who claim they're Jews and aren't, but rather are members of the assembly of Satan." (Revelation 2:9)
Because of (false) pride or having no sense of morals or backbone to have their own individuality, many follow "the world."
Instead of acting ugly, slyly or openly, gossiping about, laughing at, or acting hateful toward others like you're better, like a smirking racist, put that negative energy to positive use by finding out the truth (only ignorant, crowd-following, brown nosing idiots won't).
Whether or not the truth is believed, accepted or liked, it will still be the truth.

Striker Paul Heffernan gave Hibs the lead in the 17th minute when he raced through to knock the ball past Fraser Forster.
Forrest then replaced Kris Commons, who came off with a hamstring injury which makes him doubtful for the Champions League clash with Ajax, and a moment of magic in the 75th minute by the Scotland winger deservedly levelled the scores at Easter Road.
Celtic are still looking for their first points after two Champions League games and against Ajax they will also have to cope without captain Scott Brown, who was handed a three-match ban after being sent off against Barcelona at Parkhead earlier in the month.
Craig Moore scored a spectacular goal seconds into his Premiership debut to start Motherwell's comeback as Hearts slipped further behind at the foot of the table after a 2-1 loss.
The 19-year-old fired the ball into the top corner from 22 yards within 30 seconds of coming off the bench midway through the second half at Fir Park.
The strike cancelled out Ryan Stevenson's 62nd-minute breakaway opener and Shaun Hutchinson headed home with eight minutes left to secure third-placed Motherwell's fourth consecutive home victory.
Hearts' defeat was compounded by victories for nearest rivals Kilmarnock and St Mirren, which left them 13 points adrift.
An 89th-minute goal from Steven Thompson settled a thrilling contest as St Mirren picked up their first win of the season with a 4-3 success against St Johnstone at St Mirren Park.
The game was finely poised at 1-1 at half-time, Steven MacLean having got the visitors back on level terms from the spot following Kenny McLean's opener.
Paul McGowan and another McLean penalty put the hosts ahead on two further occasions in the second period, and they could have had another but Jim Goodwin missed from the spot in between.
Nigel Hasselbaink and substitute Rory Fallon twice hauled St Johnstone back into the game and looked to have nicked a point before Thompson provided the killer blow a minute from time.
Goals from Kris Boyd and Jackson Irvine gave Kilmarnock boss Allan Johnston his first win since taking over at Rugby Park in the summer - a 2-0 success against Ross County.
Boyd prodded the Ayrshire men in front after 17 minutes before Irvine's second with 19 minutes left in the second period ended the club's 12-game run without victory.
Calvin Zola's close-range strike early in the second half was enough to see fourth-placed Aberdeen seal a 1-0 victory over Dundee United at Pittodrie.
The former Burton striker pounced on Niall McGinn's cross to turn home the winner in an entertaining game.

< Return To Hearing
The Honorable Bob BarrMay 10, 2005
TESTIMONY ON THE USA PATRIOT ACT Chairman Specter, Ranking Member Leahy, distinguished members of the Committee, I am deeply grateful for the chance to testify before the full Committee on this crucial matter. I believe strongly that the bipartisan support for civil liberties in the aftermath of the tragic 9/11 attacks, support that is so apparent today, will prove the greatest testament to our traditional constitutional values when the history of this era is written. I commend the Committee for playing a lead role in this endeavor. My name is Bob Barr. From 1995 to 2003, I had the honor to represent Georgia's Seventh District in the United States House of Representatives, serving that entire period on the House Judiciary Committee. From 1986 to 1990, I served as the United States Attorney for the Northern District of Georgia after being nominated by President Ronald Reagan, and was thereafter the president of the Southeastern Legal Foundation. For much of the 1970s, I was an official with the Central Intelligence Agency. I currently serve as CEO and President of Liberty Strategies, LLC, and Of Counsel with the Law Offices of Edwin Marger. I also hold the 21st Century Liberties Chair for Freedom and Privacy at the American Conservative Union, consult on privacy issues with the American Civil Liberties Union, and am a board member of the National Rifle Association. Finally, I am the Chairman of a new network of primarily conservative organizations called Patriots to Restore Checks and Balances, which includes the American Conservative Union, Eagle Forum, Americans for Tax Reform, the American Civil Liberties Union, Gun Owners of America, the Second Amendment Foundation, the Libertarian Party, the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons, and the Free Congress Foundation. Our organization strongly urges Congress to resist calls to summarily remove the sunset provisions in the PATRIOT Act. This reflects our philosophy in support of all necessary and constitutional powers with which to fight acts of terrorism, but against the centralization of undue authority in any one arm or agency of government. To that end, we also urge Congress to improve the Patriot Act by carefully inserting modest checks against abuse. In particular, I urge the Members of the Committee to support the bi-partisan Security and Freedom Enhancement Act (SAFE) of 2005, sponsored by Senators Larry Craig from Idaho and Richard Durbin from Illinois, who both spoke so eloquently earlier in support of the Constitution. While it would retain every expansion of law enforcement and intelligence authority in the Patriot Act, the SAFE Act would incorporate modest--but essential--new safeguards against abuse. For the purposes of this hearing, I will focus largely on the SAFE Act's proposed modification to the standard under which FBI intelligence agents may secretly compel the production of personal records using section 215 of the PATRIOT Act, as well the proposed change to the standard for criminal delayed-notification search warrants, known as "sneak and peek" warrants. First, however, I would like to make clear that, even though I voted for the PATRIOT Act in October 2001, as did many of my colleagues in the House and almost the entire roster of this Committee, I did so with a hesitancy born of the understanding it was an extraordinary measure for an extraordinary threat; that it would be used exclusively, or at least primarily, in the context of important anti-terrorism cases; and that the Department of Justice would be cautious in its implementation and forthcoming in providing information on its use to the Congress and the American people. I believe now, however, that perhaps my faith was misplaced. The Justice Department has repeatedly disclosed its use and desire to use the expanded authority in the USA PATRIOT Act in run-of-the-mill criminal cases. Furthermore, the Administration has repeatedly stated its intention to expand the authority in the USA PATRIOT Act, and has floated various pieces of legislation that would do so. Those of us who support modest changes to the PATRIOT Act seek two things. First, we want Congress to bolster public accountability over the Patriot Act, which would provide greater assurances that the law is serving its intended purpose. Second, we want to guarantee that extraordinary surveillance powers are being used to keep terrorists at bay, and are not transformed into a general police power that can be used and misused against Americans under the guise of "national security." This concern, is particularly acute among conservatives, who worry about its possible future misapplication of the Patriot Act against pro-life, land rights or Second Amendment activists. The SAFE Act's proposed changes to section 215 of the USA PATRIOT Act illustrate these dual concerns perfectly. Section 215 of the USA PATRIOT Act amended what was special authority under FISA (the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act) to seize rental car, self-storage and airline records for national security investigations. Prior to the USA PATRIOT Act, the underlying statutes--50 U.S.C. §§ 1861, 1862--applied only to a limited subset of businesses, and it required a showing of "specific and articulable facts" that the individual target was in fact an agent of a foreign power. Section 215 of the PATRIOT Act removed both of these limitations, thereby greatly expanding the power of the government to reach all "tangible things (including books, records, papers, documents and other items)," and lowering the evidentiary standard below even that of standard grand jury subpoenas, which are pegged to at least some showing of relevance to criminal activities, and which include the additional safeguards of a clear "right to quash" and a right to challenge any secrecy order that may have been imposed on the subpoena. Some have questioned why the section 215 power has become known as the "library provision," when it does not expressly mention library records and given that it covers so much beyond library records or other information maintained by libraries. Indeed, many opponents of PATRIOT Act reform point to the fact that library records were not mentioned. PATRIOT Act supporters routinely cite the fact that many people refer to section 215 in this way as evidence of the "hysteria" or "misinformation" among those who seek modest changes to the PATRIOT Act. This argument is highly disingenuous. In point of fact, library records are not mentioned in the provision, because the provision applies to much more than just library records. Prior to the USA PATRIOT Act, library and bookseller records were not covered by this power, which back then only permitted an order for the records of certain business. Now, library records are covered - as are all other records and tangible items, including membership lists of political organizations, gun purchase records, medical records, genetic information and any other document, item or record that the government contends is a "tangible thing." Section 215 also comes with a sweeping and automatic gag order, without any explicit provision for a recipient to challenge that prior restraint on First Amendment grounds or even consult with counsel. And, if certification is made that the records are sought for any intelligence or terrorism inquiry, the judge has no power under the law to challenge that certification. Finally, and crucially, the power is also unlike a grand jury subpoena because a recipient has no explicit right to move to have it quashed in court, and failure to comply with a 215 order is presumptively a serious offense. Critics of this section rightly charge that its open-ended scope and lack of meaningful judicial review open the door to abuses, and I agree. At the very least, Congress should restore the "specific and articulable facts" requirement for the target of a section 215 order that connects such records to a terrorist, spy or other foreign agent. Here again, such a modest limitation, consistent with traditional Fourth Amendment principles, would pose no significant hardship to federal agents. Federal judges would, as they have for ages past, continue to approve virtually all such applications properly supported and applied for by government agents. The SAFE Act would -- in addition to restoring the specific and articulable facts standard -- provide a recipient with at least some outlet to challenge an unreasonable order. It would also require notice before any information seized pursuant to section 215 of the USA PATRIOT Act is introduced as evidence in any subsequent proceeding. These are reasonable steps the government has always been able to meet with respect to powers provided under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act and which have never been seen as any real impediment to the government's ability to secure necessary evidence. I welcome the Attorney General's recent statements, agreeing to some changes to Section 215 that would make explicit a recipient's right to challenge the order and the secrecy provision, and would make explicit a recipient's right to consult an attorney. The Attorney General is certainly right to agree to changes in this poorly drafted provision, but, unfortunately, it remains unclear if the Administration will agree to a standard for a Section 215 order (individual suspicion) that will truly protect privacy. I strongly urge you to adopt the SAFE Act's standard in this regard. Before moving on to section 213, I would also point the Committee to the attorney general's recent statement that, to date, section 215 of the USA PATRIOT Act has been used 35 times. Note, however, that former Attorney General John Ashcroft declassified a memorandum to FBI Director Robert Mueller in September 2003 saying that Section 215 had never been used, meaning that those 35 court orders have all been issued in just the last year-and-a-half. The number of orders is on the rise. The second focus of my testimony is section 213 of the PATRIOT Act, the so-called "sneak and peek" provision that grants statutory authorization for the indefinite delay of criminal search warrant notification. This discussion is particularly apt for the Senate Judiciary Committee, as its Members will have the unique opportunity to install additional checks on this overbroad provision. Before discussing our desired reforms to section 213, which is unfortunately not subject to the sunset provision, it may be helpful to take note of some statistics. On the eve of the April 6th Senate Judiciary Committee hearing, which featured testimony by Attorney General Alberto Gonzales and FBI Director Mueller against changes to the PATRIOT Act, the Justice Department released statistics on the use to date of section 213 of the PATRIOT Act. Apparently, the department sought and received the authority to delay notice 108 times between April 2003 and January 2005, a period of approximately 22 months. By contrast, it sought and received this authority 47 times between November 2001, when the PATRIOT Act was enacted, and April 2003, a period of about 17 months. The five-month difference in timeframe aside, these numbers clearly reveal a substantial increase in use. Moreover, Chairman Specter also revealed at the April 6th Judiciary Committee hearing that 92 -- or approximately 60 percent -- of those 155 requests were granted under the broad justification that notice would have the result of "seriously jeopardizing an investigation," rather than under the more specific criteria that notice would endanger a person's life, imperil evidence, induce flight from prosecution or lead to witness tampering. Also, as Attorney General Gonzales informed Representative Flake at an April 7th hearing of the House Judiciary Committee, six criminal delayed-notice warrants under section 213 of the PATRIOT Act were approved with an indefinite delay (just as we had feared), and one had a delay that lasted fully half a year. In addition, the statutory language that opens the door to such indefinite delay is directly contrary to the only two appellate court rulings published before the Patriot Act that evaluate secret criminal search warrants with delayed-notification authorized by the lower court. In the first such case, a circuit court held that "in this case the warrant was constitutionally defective in failing to provide explicitly for notice within a reasonable, but short, time subsequent to the surreptitious entry. Such a time should not exceed seven days except upon a strong showing of necessity." I would also submit that this Committee is in a special position to evaluate sneak and peek warrants. The Judiciary Committee has jurisdiction over the peculiar area of law in which criminal and intelligence investigative powers can blur into one another, and where they consequently have to be carefully cabined to protect constitutional rights. I respectfully submit that the sneak and peek statute is one law that is not appropriately cabined, and is currently so broad that it resembles powers associated with foreign intelligence investigations (i.e., outside reasonable limitations for criminal powers contained in the Fourth Amendment). Lengthy, secret surveillance, including secret "black bag" jobs (all undertaken, since 1978, with the proper approval of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, of course) have long been the hallmark of a specialized, but crucial, type of investigation - the foreign intelligence investigation of suspected spies and international terrorists. When these intrusive powers, such as the power to enter a home without notifying the owner, become more common in criminal or other types of investigations, the American people become rightly alarmed. The resulting furor risks more draconian limits on all such secret surveillance powers - even in the investigations where they may actually be needed. Although I acknowledge the Justice Department's argument that section 213 and 215 searches and surveillance represent only a fraction of the searches and surveillance conducted by the FBI and other security agencies, I remain concerned. These are extraordinary authorities and they are being used more frequently, and more and more outside their proper context of foreign intelligence and terrorism investigations. Any hint of such a trend should be very worrisome. In September 2004, Judge Victor Marrero of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York issued a 50-page ruling in the case of Doe v. Ashcroft, 334 F.Supp.2d 471 (S.D.N.Y. 2004). In it, he struck down 18 U.S.C. § 2709, the statute permitting the issuance of so-called "national security letters," or NSLs, for customer records from Internet, telephone and other electronic service providers. NSLs, as the Committee knows well, are administrative subpoenas issued at the sole discretion of the FBI under a self-certification procedure. They may be used to compel the production of certain types of records held by third-party businesses and institutions. Though the statute held invalid by Judge Marrero only dealt with the types of records mentioned above, other NSL statutes permit their use to obtain financial and credit records. To be very clear, the Marrero decision struck section 2709 in its entirety, including the amendments to section 2709 made by section 505(a) of the PATRIOT Act. Put another way, the judge's decision struck down all of section 505(a) of the PATRIOT Act, but also struck down the rest of the NSL statute amended by section 505(a) with it. The judge ruled on two primary grounds--that the section 2709 NSL is unreviewable, and that the attached gag order forever barred a recipient from telling anyone anything about the NSL. As the judge noted repeatedly in his opinion, the USA PATRIOT Act did remove the requirement of individual suspicion from the statute. For instance, he rests a large part of his First Amendment findings on the FBI's post-PATRIOT Act ability to suppress anonymous speech using an NSL. Judge Marrero proffers two hypotheticals on that score, neither of which would have been possible prior to the USA PATRIOT Act unless the FBI had specific facts that the individual target was an agent of a foreign power. The FBI could use an NSL, the judge notes, to disclose the identity of an anonymous "blogger" critical of the government, or to discover the identity of everyone who has an e-mail account through a political campaign. A number of interested parties continue to claim, however, that Doe v. Ashcroft did not strike down a provision of the USA PATRIOT Act because section 2709, prior to the Act, did not contain a right to challenge and contained a gag order. This is inaccurate. First, whenever a statute is struck down in its entirety any then-operative amendments are also rendered unconstitutional. It is hard to see how a decision that strikes down every word of one section of a law can be said not to "involve" that law. Second, analytically speaking, the USA PATRIOT Act is the 800-pound gorilla in the Marrero opinion, and clearly factored into his reasoning. In sum, then, I would urge the Committee to continue its careful oversight of sections 213, 215 and the rest of the PATRIOT Act, and of thoughtful consideration of amendments like those proposed in the SAFE Act. If we do this right today, if we are able to fix the PATRIOT Act to make it hew to the Constitution while it fortifies our common defense, we will have broken the tragic mold of past national security crises. Too often in our history, we have acted too quickly in the face of major national security challenges, and have severely deprived our citizens of their God-given rights under the Constitution. Worse, such deprivations have, without exception, been unnecessary to secure our country. In the post-9/11 world, we have strayed perilously close to the edge, and I fear we will fall all the way if the PATRIOT Act is not fixed. If we do, however, meet the test of history and fix the law before it can lead to another historical shame, we will have broken with the past. And we will have done so by securing our liberties and our safety in equal measure. What could be more American than that? Thank you again for this opportunity to comment on the vitally important deliberations of this Committee. I remain available to provide whatever further information the Committee might request. |

Prepared by Charles Master, MD , 4th-year Radiology Resident, and Ruwini de Silva, MD, Attending GI and Breast Radiologist, St. Vincent's Medical Center of Staten Island, NY.
The patient is a 47-year-old white woman who presented for a routine mammogram. There was no family history of breast cancer and no prior breast surgery. She was not receiving any hormone replacement therapy and had no palpable breast mass. On routine mammogram, an oval, mammographically benign density was seen in the left posterior lower breast in the mediolateral oblique (MLO) view (Figures 1 and 2). Sonographic evaluation of the left breast revealed a 1.9-cm hyperechoic area with posterior shadowing (Figure 3).
Cavernous breast hemangioma
On the spot compression mammographic views, a focal density, with sharp anterior margins measuring approximately 2 cm was identified on the MLO view (Figure 2). It was located very deeply and its posterior margin could not be adequately visualized mammographically. The patient subsequently had an ultrasound of the left breast. Sonographic evaluation of the left breast revealed a 1.9-cm hyperechoic area with posterior shadowing 10 cm from the nipple at the 6 o'clock axis (Figure 3). Because the lesion was hyperechoic, the lesion was thought to be benign. Due to the posterior shadowing of the lesion and its posterior location, which made adequate follow-up difficult, the patient was advised to have a core biopsy.
The patient subsequently underwent a core biopsy of the lesion. The specimens were deep red in color. The lesion was believed to be a hemorrhagic lesion. Pathology revealed a hemangioma. The patient had the lesion surgically removed. Pathology revealed a nodule measuring 1.1 * 0.8 * 0.7 cm and the surrounding tissue was slightly hemorrhagic (Figure 4). Microscopically, the lesion was found to be a cavernous hemangioma (Figure 5).
Hemangiomas are benign vascular tumors. They are usually thin-walled, blood-filled vascular spaces that are separated by fibrous septa with occasional phleboliths. 1 Histologically, there are two major types: the capillary hemangioma and the cavernous hemangioma. Capillary hemangiomas are composed of blood vessels that resemble capillaries. Cavernous hemangiomas have large, cavernous vascular channels. 2 Hemangiomas of the breast can be divided into intralobular and extralobular types, depending on whether they are found in the intra- or interlobular stroma. 3 Hemangiomas within the breast have an incidence of 1.2% to 11%. Mammographic findings of a breast hemangioma include a normal mammogram, or a well-circumscribed mass with punctate calcifications. 4-6 Sonographic findings of breast hemangiomas include hypoechoic or hyperechoic lesions that can be ill-defined or well-defined, and can have internal bright echoes that likely represent calcifications within them. 5 Unlike most cases of breast hemangiomas seen in the literature, 4-6 this case did not show any calcifications mammographically, on ultrasound, or on histology. On ultrasound, it was hyperechoic and well-defined and also had posterior acoustic shadowing.
There are a few published cases of sonographic findings of breast hemangiomas. One showed a well-defined, solid, mainly hypoechoic lesion with small bright echoes consistent with areas of calcification. 5 Another case showed a poorly defined hyperechoic mass with marked distal shadowing. 5,7 A third case revealed a hyperechoic area with imprecise borders and a hypoechoic nodule in the center. 8 A fourth case only described the sonographic findings of well-defined, hypoechoic, homogenous, and multiple solid lesions within the breast parenchma. 9 Pathologically our case was a cavernous hemangioma with no calcifications seen within it.
The authors would like to thank Dr. Ko of the Department of Pathology of St. Vincent's Medical Center of Staten Island, NY for his photographs of the gross pathologic and microscopic findings of our case.

Or it may be simply statistics. I have over 100 hours on my mCP X, about 80 hours on one of my B3Ds (over 8 hours on 3s), over 20 hours on my other B3D, over 8 hours on my Gee Bee, and over 20 hours on my Carbon Cub. That's 19 AS3X servos, and I have not had one fail. I had an elevator servo fail on one of my V1 Beasts after 50 flights, and an aileron servo went nuts during the maiden on another V1. Out of 64 UM servos, those are the only failures I've had. As Erkq noted - Chuck flies & reviews all of the new planes - usually well-before they hit the shelves. Joel |

Jim & Nitro weren't bagging the product, the company or the retailer. They were simply stating what happened. Credit to our Aussie supplier for changing Jims plane over straight away and to HH for taking this hobby to new heights. Having said that I dont understand why people are so quick to try and counter anyones bad experience with their own good experience. If you have had 1000 problem free flights then good luck to you. It doesnt change what happened to Jims models. I'd rather read about the people having problems so I can make informed decisions about where to spend my hard earnt hobby $
Having said all that, I do like the look of the carbon cub..... |

Haven't posted in here in a long time but I've owned the v1 beast since 12/2010. My elevator servo locked up on me after just a few flights. I got it down with just little crease for damage. I ended up simply blowing out the servo with compressed air. It never bothered since. I racked it up to dust or a tiny piece of foam getting in there and causing the issue. I really think these servos are susceptible to binding due to foreign matter.

RealGambler, please stop guessing at what I have and haven't done every time I post - it's becoming annoying. I have had just about every HH UM model since they first came out. If you paid just a little attention you'd know that even my Micro Hawk has a 6400 powering it...
I even did a tutorial on stripping and cleaning down onboard linear servo's... I also was one of the first to use the falcon worm drive servo's in my micro's way back then... so perhaps it should be me welcoming you into the foray?.... So, recapping for everyone's benefit - I posted here to tell of Jim350's experience with 2 of his brand new AS3X Beasts, in a row... I hope everyone actually understands this because I get the feeling some are being a little short sighted to this fact.... |

Super Bowl Pick 'Em
It's official, Jason will go down as the first-ever Foxboro Blog NFL Pick 'Em Champion. He currently holds a two-game lead over Rick with only one game left to play. I find myself way in the back of the pack, three behind Rick and an embarrassing five behind Jason. Needless to say, the climax of our heated competition won't be nearly as dramatic as the game this Sunday, but we figured we'd pick the Super Bowl for good measure.
Here's the final picks for the 2010 season...

Suspended For Hair Color
February 23, 2011
I would seriously consider dying the bottom half of my hair pink if I thought I could pull it off and if I wasn't worried it would clash with most of my clothes. But then, my house does not have a strict dress and grooming code. If we did, look out, I'd be in serious trouble most days.
But lots of schools do have strict dress and grooming codes and that's just what got a Texan 12-year-old suspended for getting some bright red and blond highlights in her brown hair. Her mom took her to the salon for some birthday fun and, although the highlights were a little brighter than expected, they were both surprised when the young girl was sent home on suspension for hair that was distracting and against school policy.
Click here to see the video of her "shocking" new style.
With all that's going on in the world of education, this seems like they're making a mountain out of a mole hill. However, if I were a school administrator in America right now, where my collective bargaining rights were at risk of being revoked, where kids came to school with guns, where I didn't have enough money to adequately staff my school, and where things in general seemed to be spinning out of control, it might feel good to have a rule I could actually enforce.
There has to be a sense of empowerment in saying, "Bam! Your hair's too red. You're suspended. Bam! Your skirt's too short. You're suspended." And as an administrator, I admit it might feel good to exercise what modicum of control I had left.

October 15, 1997
I am pleased to report that today the Federal Highway Administration honored long-time highway safety advocate Linda Householder by presenting her the coveted FHWA Public Service Award.
Ms. Householder, who founded the Professional Drivers Institute of America 14 years ago and is still its president, was instrumental in instituting trucking awareness instruction in many high school driver education curriculums.
In addition, on the national scene she has provided outstanding leadership through involvement with senior citizen groups, corporations, law enforcement agencies, and many others in teaching how to drive safely around commercial vehicles.
Ms. Householder was one of the safety experts who participated in FHWA's 1995 National Truck and Bus Safety Summit and she has worked with the National Safety Council and others in helping promote sharing-the-road educational campaigns.
She resides in Sandy, Utah.
Sincerely yours,
George L. Reagle Associate Administrator for Motor Carriers

Manea Parish Council - Fenland - Cambridgeshire
Home - Latest - Council - Council Minutes - Pit Management Committee - Archive
Manea is a fast expanding rural Fenland village between Chatteris and March off the B1093. Peterborough and Cambridge are only some 30 miles equal distance from the village. Huntingdon can be reached in just over 30 minutes. There is a convenient railway station with currently twenty stops a day. Manea was once a mainly agricultural area, but with the expansion and new housing many of our new residents now work in neighbouring towns or commute to London from Huntingdon or Ely.
The first Parish Council met on 3rd January 1895 in the local schoolroom.
The Parish Council celebrated its 100 years anniversary in 1995 with an Exhibition in the Village Hall. The Council meets monthly, on Mondays at 7.00pm, usually in the Village Hall.
The Parish Council has an open forum of 15 minutes duration at the beginning of each meeting. The annual Parish Assembly is usually held in the month of April each year and members of the public are invited to attend to engage with the Parish Council. Parish Council events are advertised on the notice board outside the primary school.

Buses Replace West Hempstead Trains Midday - Monday, April 13
The MTA Long Island Rail Road will provide bus service in place of midday trains between West Hempstead and Valley Stream following the morning rush on Monday, April 13th in order to use the Sperry Rail Car to conduct special rail inspections. Two eastbound and two westbound trains will be affected.
The Sperry Rail Car, a bright yellow vehicle fitted with ultrasonic and induction test equipment, is designed to detect internal rail defects not readily visible to the eye. Defects that are found will be corrected immediately by a crew of LIRR track maintenance workers. The Sperry Rail Car is used twice a year to inspect approximately 500 miles of LIRR track.
Monday, April 13, 2009
The 10:47 AM and 12:47 PM trains from Valley Stream will be replaced with bus service. Customers will board buses in Valley Stream at 10:53 AM and 12:53 PM for stations Westwood through West Hempstead
Customers on the 10:12 AM and the 12:12 PM trains from West Hempstead through Westwood, will board a bus at their stations to Jamaica. At Jamaica, passengers can connect to train service for other points west.
Customers should expect up to 19 minutes of additional travel time eastbound, and 29 minutes westbound.
Customers should pick up a copy of the special track work timetable at West Hempstead Branch stations or at western LIRR terminals. For additional information, customers can contact the LIRR's Travel Information Center, 24-hours a day, in Nassau County at 516-822-LIRR, in Suffolk County at 631-231-LIRR or in New York City at 718-217-LIRR.

OIT can assist you in voice and video conferencing. To distinguish between the two: Video conferencing uses telecommunications of audio and video to bring people at different sites together for a meeting. This can be as simple as a conversation between two people in private offices (point-to-point) or involve several sites (multi-point) with more than one person in large rooms at different sites. Besides the audio and visual transmission of meeting activities, video conferencing can be used to share computer content.
It is important to differentiate video conferencing from a web conference, in which each participant sits at his or her own computer and is connected to other participants via the Internet. This can be either a downloaded application on each of the attendees' computers or a web-based application where the attendees access the meeting by clicking on a link distributed by email (meeting invitation) to enter the conference.
A voice conference, or teleconference, is a multi-point conversation using a telephone, and has only auditory capabilities.
If our facilities cannot satisfy your needs, OIT has partnered with Verizon and CenturyLink to provide audio, video and web conferencing.
Service | Who May Get It | Features |
Adobe Connect | Faculty, Staff, and Students | Adobe Connect is a desktop web conference system that allows users to meet, share, and collaborate at a distance from their desktops. |

First I have to say I listen to 977 all the time, and by that I mean it plays while I sleep, at work, and when I am Home. I listen from this website, but over the last week I have started getting annoyned with the flask adds on the site... normally they dont bother me, but flash adds with sounds automatically enabled playing while I am listen to music is simply annoyning and breaks up my concentration as I am trying to figure out where the heck the new voice has come from. Anyways just thought I would mention it and see if anyone else has this trouble. I mean keep the adds, just disable the sound or get adds without sound.

Adoption Takes The Gold Medal In The Race For Parenthood
Being open to life extends beyond the biological mission. Our Lord and Savior, Himself, was raised at the hip of His foster-father and no one could question the complete charity and devotion that existed between Joseph and Jesus.
We were the youngest couple (at 25yo and 27yo) ever to apply at our chosen, local agency. Sadly, many couples consider adoption as a last resort, the silver medal in the race to parenthood. Not until they've exhausted their fertility expense account and shed rivers of tears do they finally relent and open their hearts to the adoptive process. They waste a lot of time and energy, in my opinion, not to mention prolonging their heartache. How thankful we are that God planted that tiny mustard seed so long ago and taught us that He is the Father of life, all life. He founded our family.
While our notion of large has grown during our twenty-one years of marriage, even during those first family planning discussions adoption was part of the plan. Not that we'd had much experience or exposure on the topic, but I suppose God's seed had already been mysteriously planted in our hearts.
Of course, like too many other naive couples we mapped out our life plan decades in advance. We'd wait the culturally respectable amount of time before opening the door to tiny hands and pitter pattering feet. Our birth children would be welcomed first and then in time, perhaps when we were a graying couple we'd enlist our names on the adoption register.
Two years and a few months into our wedded bliss, we gave up control (sort of) and God blessed our union with the miracle of life in my womb. Nine months and seven hours later joy spilled forth in a hospital maternity room in the shape of a perfectly beautiful, totally unrepeatable baby boy.
But within hours our lives skipped a beat, like a record when the needle hits a scratch. The next month consisted of two surgeries on our son's broken heart, needles, tubes, respirator vacuums, leads, bleeping machines, white coats and cold comments. After so many nights slept in corners on rock hard waiting room floors, we stood (the three of us) wrapped around one another as that precious gift drained of earthly life.
When the spinning slowed enough to form a conscious thought, that mystery seed began to germinate. A child cannot be replaced, but the empty crib erected in our bedroom beckoned for a sweet-smelling occupant. Those brand new onesies and home made blankets kept babies on our minds and so we started the process of finding an adoption agency.
I can't quite recall how everything worked out as it did, but then again my Heavenly Father has a way of steering my path without my ever knowing it. People and information simply appeared and so by year's end we were jumping through the hoops of placement preference forms, background checks, recommendation letters, physicals, and interviews.
Eleven looong, nail-biting months later (of course, in retrospect, eleven months was less time than it took to conceive some of our children), we received the photo of a seemingly chubby, cherub-faced boy dressed in red plaid. With scant bits of black hair and Asian, brown eyes, he was a dream captured on film. Our caseworker knew this would be our son, but because there were loose ends to be tied she was only able to say this baby was a possible match for us.
Talk about anxious anticipation, the next few weeks we felt like children circling the pile of presents under the Christmas tree, wondering which gift had our name on it.
Busy answering questions, making appointments, and checking in patients at a podiatrist's office, my baby fever was temporarily masked by work. Then THE call came. The call to trump all calls. On the other end of the cord sat our social worker, her voice pulsing through the phone lines. The equivalent I suppose to seeing that plus sign appear on the pregnancy stick, I heard the words that decreed we were about to become a family.
In a whirlwind of enthusiasm and impatience, we made the necessary arrangements and sped down the highway toward Greensboro. Like our mad dash to the maternity ward a year and a half earlier but a whole lot less painful (for me), we couldn't wait to greet our newest blessing. Clueless to the agency's mode of operations we were told to sit in an empty office, our stomachs churning with that kind of nervous joy/anxiety we'd felt on our wedding day. Unbeknownst to us, our little boy was being laid in a cradle just steps beyond our reach.
Finally, crossing the threshold of a small room down the agency hallway we beheld our first vision of him. Resting peacefully in a gorgeous cradle, draped in white with blue trim, was our son, our second son. My heart ached from the swell of love that welled up within my chest. Early on in our parenting, an occasional ignorant bystander bludgeoned me with the proposition that biologically-connected love could somehow trump adoptive-love. In that moment, meeting my son for the very first time, such absurdity would be forever discredited.
With our son stretched across his lap, my husband sat motionless caught up in an intense gaze of wonder, love and fatherly admiration. Perhaps, that was the precise moment when their bond was forged because this son, more than any since, shares his father's interests and passions.
That was 17 years ago now that we first became a family. Seventeen cherished years of watching that little person grow and mature into an intelligent, faithful, handsome young man with an opportunity-filled future before him. This second son wasn't a replacement for the first, nor is he overshadowed by any sibling since, he is our beloved child, as are each and every one of our brood individually.
We were the youngest couple (at 25yo and 27yo) ever to apply at our chosen, local agency. Sadly, many couples consider adoption as a last resort, the silver medal in the race to parenthood. Not until they've exhausted their fertility expense account and shed rivers of tears do they finally relent and open their hearts to the adoptive process. They waste a lot of time and energy, in my opinion, not to mention prolonging their heartache. How thankful we are that God planted that tiny mustard seed so long ago and taught us that He is the Father of life, all life. He founded our family.
In the course of our Natural Family Planning classes, we always make a point of sprinkling seeds by reminding those fresh-faced couples that adoption is part of the Divine Plan. Being open to life extends beyond the biological mission. Our Lord and Savior, Himself, was raised at the hip of His foster-father and no one could question the complete charity and devotion that existed between Joseph and Jesus.
And how could we not have admiration and gratitude for our son's birth mother, who sacrificed her body and surely pieces of her heart to allow him to grow within her. A woman, not much older than his is now, she heroically challenged the culture and carried her unexpected gift for eight months. I can only imagine her internal conflict, when after the pain of childbirth, she relinquished her firstborn with the hope of providing him the best in life. Wherever she is today, may she have peace and confidence that our son is loved and we have tried our hardest to instill in him a sincere respect for her.
Those well-laid, life plans of so long ago have been rewritten a thousand times over. In our wildest dreams we couldn't have conjured up the twists and turns our life journey would take us through. While the loss of our firstborn scarred us in some lifelong ways, it was the catalyst that inspired us to open more fully the flood gates to so many blessings. I never would have chosen that course, but in His infinite wisdom and mercy, God didn't ask me to choose. He orders our path, He steers the ship and so much the greater is His vision of our passage.
