First they were dropping bowling balls on the screen. OK, but others have shown the screen to be pretty durable anyway. How about dropping an iPad from an ultralight at 500 feet?
Looks like it would hold both the iPad and Zaggmate but I'd probably check to be sure first.

Calendar of Events
Brick City Gallery, 215 West Mill Street in Springfield, is presenting Partial to Home and Juke Joint: Photographs by Birney Imes, January 24-February 22, 2014.
Birney Imes will be speaking about his work Thursday, February 6, at 7pm, in Glass Hall 102. His presentation is open to the public.
Gallery hours are: 11am-6pm Monday-Friday, and Noon-5pm Saturday. Brick City Gallery is closed national and university holidays. Admission is free and open to the public. (417) 836-6795
For more than 20 years Birney Imes roamed the countryside of his native Mississippi photographing the people and places he encountered along the way. Working in both black and white and color, Imes' photographs take viewers inside juke joints and dilapidated restaurants scattered across that landscape. There he introduces the viewer to, as one writer put it, "the characters and locales that linger in the margins of Southern memory and culture."
Working in both black and white and color, Imes' photographs have been collected in three books: Juke Joint, Whispering Pines, and Partial to Home, and have been exhibited in solo shows in the United States and Europe. His work is included in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art in New York, The Art Institute of Chicago, La Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris and many public and private collections in the U.S. and abroad
A self-taught photographer, Birney Imes is a lifelong resident of Columbus, Mississippi, where he is Editor and Publisher of The Dispatch, the area's daily newspaper. He has received two Individual Artist Fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts.
Author Robert Ford has said, "So appealing in Birney Imes' photographs is the sensation they create in us that here we are being shown, and even intruding on things –expressions of face, dispositions of furniture in rooms, eventful effects of light- that have not been shown before and that seem secret, even forbidden, exotic to us, even though we may have stood in those very rooms and roads ourselves, or believe we know what lies outside each frame."

Rutgers trustees object to Christie's timetable for merger plan
The Rutgers University trustees on Thursday balked at the Governor Christie's July 1 deadline for a sweeping merger plan under which the school would gain a respected but debt-ridden medical school in New Brunswick and lose an entire campus in South Jersey.
The group's approval may be needed for the plan to proceed, according to some legal opinions and the Office of Legislative Services.
Rutgers President Richard McCormick said he anticipated that legislation involving the reorganization could be voted upon before the Legislature adjourns this summer. Christie has said that much of the reorganization could be accomplished through an executive order.
It remains unclear which route will be taken, but either way the Rutgers trustees may have a say since they were vested with oversight and authority over university property by a 1956 statute.
At its regular meeting on Thursday, the group, which numbers nearly 60, expressed frustration with the lack of financial details in the reorganization plan and the governor's insistence on forging ahead despite this.
"I feel like I'm doing this with a gun to my head," said Dorothy Cantor, a trustee.
Meanwhile, Rutgers officials said applications and donations are down because of uncertainty at the Camden campus, which the realignment plan would give to Rowan University, based in Glassboro.
The plan also would break up the Newark-based University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey, giving Rutgers three of its most successful branches: the Robert Wood Johnson Medical School in New Brunswick, the Cancer Institute of New Jersey and the School of Public Health. McCormick pegged the one-time cost of absorbing those entities at $40 million, and Bruce Fehn, Rutgers' vice president for finance, said critical questions remain about what to do with the debt that the university would incur as a result.
Rutgers officials are generally enthusiastic about getting the medical school — an affiliation that would enhance the state's ability to get medical research dollars. But they oppose ceding the Camden campus, which has 7,000 students and respected law and business schools. Earlier this week, Christie said one part of the plan cannot happen without the other, and vowed that his plan would come to fruition.
Groups in Newark and Camden have indicated they may file suit to block the plan, and some legislators said they might withhold their approval, which would be needed even if it is done by executive order. On Thursday, trustees indicated that they may balk as well.

NCAA Tournament: 9 homegrown players headed to The Big Dance
The Hudson Valley will be well-represented at the NCAA Tournament.
Not only are the Iona Gales making their second consecutive appearance at March Madness, nine homegrown players -- that we are aware of, anyway -- are also going to The Big Dance.
Here's a quick look at them:
MORE: Iona's 3 keys to beating Ohio St. | March Madness shines spotlight on Iona star Jones | Iona students: B'ball team has mojo entering tourney
Sean Kilpatrick, G, Cincinnati
The former White Plains High star is the most accomplished of our locally bred players in the tournament. Kilpatrick leads the Bearcats in scoring (16.9 points per game) and is second in rebounding (5.2 per game). Cincinnati, the 10th seed in the Midwest bracket, will play seventh-seeded Creighton on Friday in Philadelphia.
Jordan Henriquez, F, Kansas State
The former Port Chester Ram might represent the Hudson Valley's best bet to reach the Final Four. The Wildcats are the fourth seed and will play Friday in Kansas City, Mo., against the winner of the Boise State-La Salle play-in game. Henriquez is averaging 4.6 points and 4.8 rebounds a game in his senior season.
Tavon Sledge, G, Iona
Although he played his high school ball on Long Island, Sledge, a Spring Valley native, is the Gaels' only homegrown player. The Iowa State transfer is averaging 5.6 points and 3.2 assists a game for 15th-seeded Iona, which plays Ohio State, the second seed in the West bracket, Friday in Dayton, Ohio.
Isaiah Cousins, G, Oklahoma
The freshman from Mount Vernon is averaging 15.7 minutes and 2.5 points per game. Oklahoma, the 10th seed in the South, will face seventh-seeded San Diego State on Friday in Philadelphia.
Dante Taylor, F, Pittsburgh
Taylor is a Greenburgh native who played his high school ball at National Christian Academy in Fort Washington, Md., the same school that produced basketball standouts Patrick Ewing Jr., Kevin Durant and Deron Washington. Taylor, whom Greenburgh recognized as a "native son" in 2009, is averaging 5 points and 4 rebounds per game. Pittsburgh, the eighth seed in the West, will face ninth-seeded Wichita State on Thursday in Salt Lake City.
Cleanthony Early, F, Wichita State
Taylor won't be the only Hudson Valley native on the floor when his Panthers play the Shockers. Early, a Middletown native and Sullivan County Community College transfer, leads Wichita State with 13.6 points per game. He attended Pine Bush and Mount Zion (N.C.) high schools.
Terry Brutus, F, Mississippi
The former Spring Valley High homecoming king has been coming off the bench for the Rebels as a freshman. He is averaging 1.4 points and 1.8 rebounds. Ole Miss, the West bracket's 12th seed, will play fifth-seeded Wisconsin on Friday in Kansas City.
Reece Williams, G, Albany
The Woodlands High product has played sparingly as a freshman, seeing action in just three games. The Great Danes, the 15th seed in the Midwest, will take on powerhouse Duke, the second seed, Friday in Philadelphia.
Matt Lyde-Cajuste, F, Syracuse
The former Iona Prep standout is averaging just two minutes per game with the Orange. Syracuse, the fourth seed in the East, will face Montana, the 13th seed, Thursday in San Jose, Calif. Though Lyde-Cajuste's lack of playing time isn't a good indication that an NBA career is in his future, don't feel too sorry for him: He has plenty of academic accolades to fall back on and is majoring in aerospace engineering.

Generic Name: goserelin (GOE-se-REL-in)
Brand Name: Zoladex
Goserelin is used for:
Treating prostate cancer. It may also be used for other conditions as determined by your doctor.
Goserelin is a synthetic analog of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH). It works by decreasing levels of certain hormones produced by the testes and preventing the growth of certain tumors that need these hormones to grow.
Do NOT use goserelin if:
- you are allergic to any ingredient in goserelin, GnRH, or another GnRH agonist (eg, histrelin)
- you are pregnant, may become pregnant, or are breast-feeding
Contact your doctor or health care provider right away if any of these apply to you.
Before using goserelin:
Some medical conditions may interact with goserelin. Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you have any medical conditions, especially if any of the following apply to you:
- if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or are breast-feeding
- if you are taking any prescription or nonprescription medicine, herbal preparation, or dietary supplement
- if you have allergies to medicines, foods, or other substances
- if you have a history of urinary problems (eg, blockage of the bladder or ureters), spinal cord problems, abnormal growths on or near the spine or spinal cord, mental or mood problems (eg, depression), diabetes or high blood sugar, heart problems (eg, irregular heartbeat), blood vessel problems, a stroke, high blood calcium levels, or anemia
- if you have bone problems (eg, weak bones, osteoporosis) or if a family member has had bone problems
- if a family member has had a certain type of irregular heartbeat (long QT syndrome)
- if you are overweight
- if you have a history of alcohol abuse or regular tobacco use
- if you are taking medicines that can weaken the bones, such as anticonvulsants (eg, phenytoin) or corticosteroids (eg, prednisone)
Some MEDICINES MAY INTERACT with goserelin. However, no specific interactions with goserelin are known at this time.
Ask your health care provider if goserelin may interact with other medicines that you take. Check with your health care provider before you start, stop, or change the dose of any medicine.
How to use goserelin:
Use goserelin as directed by your doctor. Check the label on the medicine for exact dosing instructions.
- Goserelin is usually given as an injection at your doctor's office, hospital, or clinic.
- If you miss a dose of goserelin, contact your doctor right away.
Ask your health care provider any questions you may have about how to use goserelin.
Important safety information:
- Goserelin may cause dizziness. This effect may be worse if you take it with alcohol or certain medicines. Use goserelin with caution. Do not drive or perform other possibly unsafe tasks until you know how you react to it.
- Certain hormone levels may increase during the first few weeks of treatment with goserelin. This may cause you to experience worsening symptoms or onset of new symptoms (eg, bone pain; blood in the urine; difficulty urinating; burning, numbness, or tingling) during the first few weeks of treatment. Patients with growths on or near the spine or spinal cord, or blockage of the bladder or ureters may be at greater risk of developing serious and sometimes fatal complications. Contact your doctor if any new or worsened symptoms occur while using goserelin.
- Goserelin lowers the amount of certain hormones in your body. This may cause certain expected side effects to occur, such as breast enlargement, soreness, or tenderness; testicular changes, pain, or soreness; decreased sexual ability; hot flashes; or night sweats. Contact your doctor if you have questions or concerns or if you experience any of these side effects.
- Goserelin may cause your bones to weaken or become more prone to fractures, especially if you use goserelin for long periods of time. Contact your doctor if you experience bone pain or if you have concerns regarding changes in bone density. Discuss any questions or concerns with your doctor.
- A slight increase in the risk of stroke or serious and sometimes fatal heart problems has been reported with the use of GnRH agonists in men. Although the risk appears to be low, seek immediate medical attention if you experience chest, jaw, or left arm pain; confusion; fainting; numbness of an arm or leg; one-sided weakness; slurred speech; sudden, severe headache or vomiting; or vision changes. Discuss any questions or concerns with your doctor.
- Goserelin may raise your blood sugar. High blood sugar may make you feel confused, drowsy, or thirsty. It can also make you flush, breathe faster, or have a fruit-like breath odor. If these symptoms occur, tell your doctor right away.
- Diabetes patients - Check blood sugar levels closely. Ask your doctor before you change the dose of your diabetes medicine.
- Rarely, a serious pituitary gland problem (pituitary apoplexy) may occur after you use goserelin. This serious problem usually occurs shortly after you begin to use goserelin. Contact your doctor immediately if you experience a sudden headache, vomiting, fainting, eye weakness, inability to move your eyes, mental status changes, or vision changes.
- Goserelin may interfere with certain lab tests, including certain hormone tests and pituitary gland function tests. Be sure your doctor and lab personnel know you are using goserelin.
- Lab tests, including bone density, prostate-specific antigen (PSA) or testosterone levels, hemoglobin A1c, or blood glucose, may be performed while you use goserelin. These tests may be used to monitor your condition or check for side effects. Be sure to keep all doctor and lab appointments.
- Goserelin should be used with extreme caution in CHILDREN; safety and effectiveness in children have not been confirmed.
- PREGNANCY and BREAST-FEEDING: Goserelin may cause harm to the fetus. Avoid becoming pregnant while taking goserelin. To prevent pregnancy, use a nonhormonal form of birth control (eg, condoms) while using goserelin. If you think you may be pregnant, contact your doctor right away. It is not known if goserelin is found in breast milk. Do not breast-feed while taking goserelin. Goserelin is not approved for use in women.
Possible side effects of goserelin:
All medicines may cause side effects, but many people have no, or minor, side effects. Check with your doctor if any of these most COMMON side effects persist or become bothersome:
Seek medical attention right away if any of these SEVERE side effects occur:Acne; breast tenderness; decreased sexual desire or ability; diarrhea; dizziness; enlarged breasts; headache; hot flashes; loss of appetite; nausea; sweating; tiredness or weakness; trouble sleeping.
Severe allergic reactions (rash; hives; itching; difficulty breathing; tightness in the chest; swelling of the mouth, face, lips, or tongue); back or stomach pain; blood in the urine or dark urine; bloody vomit; bone pain; breast pain; burning, numbness, or tingling; fainting; fast or irregular heartbeat; fever, chills, or sore throat; mood or mental changes (eg, depression); painful urination; reaction at the injection site; severe or persistent headache or dizziness; shortness of breath; sudden, unusual weight gain; swelling of the arms or legs; symptoms of heart attack (eg, chest, jaw, or left arm pain; numbness of an arm or leg; sudden, severe headache or vomiting; vision changes); symptoms of high blood sugar (eg, drowsiness; fast breathing; flushing; fruit-like breath odor; increased thirst, hunger, or urination); symptoms of stroke (eg, confusion, one-sided weakness, slurred speech, vision changes); trouble urinating or inability to urinate; unusual tiredness or weakness.
This is not a complete list of all side effects that may occur. If you have questions about side effects, contact your health care provider. Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. To report side effects to the appropriate agency, please read the Guide to Reporting Problems to FDA.
If OVERDOSE is suspected:
Contact 1-800-222-1222 (the American Association of Poison Control Centers), your local poison control center, or emergency room immediately.
Proper storage of goserelin:Goserelin is usually handled and stored by a health care provider. If you are using goserelin at home, store goserelin as directed by your pharmacist or health care provider. Keep goserelin out of the reach of children and away from pets.
General information:
- If you have any questions about goserelin, please talk with your doctor, pharmacist, or other health care provider.
- Goserelin is to be used only by the patient for whom it is prescribed. Do not share it with other people.
- If your symptoms do not improve or if they become worse, check with your doctor.
- Check with your pharmacist about how to dispose of unused medicine.

£2 Statutory Credit Report
Your statutory credit report details your credit history. It contains public and private information recorded in your name and is available to authorised lenders carrying out a credit check through Experian. Credit reports are used by lenders to help them in making decisions about whether to give you credit or not.
Under the Data Protection Act 1998, Experian are permitted to charge a non-refundable fee of £2 each time you request access to your statutory credit report. The table below outlines the differences between CreditExpert from Experian and the statutory credit report - it may help you decide which Experian product is most suitable for you.
* Monthly fee applies after trial, new customers only. You may cancel your trial anytime during the 30 day trial period without charge. As part of the CreditExpert application we conduct ID checks which could result in a PIN being sent prior to gaining access (may take up to 5 days) or the request of documents to be sent to us to verify who you say you are.
** As part of your CreditExpert membership, we provide Identity Fraud Expenses Insurance.
Ordering your statutory credit report
You can apply for your statutory credit report either online or by post. When completing your application form, you will need to supply all your previous addresses from the past 6 years. Please ensure you have your full address details, including postcodes, when applying.
Alternatively, order your Experian credit report and score
Experian CreditExpert offers you a no obligation 30-day trial* which includes an array of benefits.
Experian only provides a copy of your own credit report. Other people (including your partner, spouse or anyone else you may have applied for credit with) must each apply for their own report.
Your application is made under Section 7 of the Data Protection Act 1998 and we will keep a record of your application and include it on future reports we send you.
Because we operate throughout the world in providing our goods and services, this may involve us transferring your personal information to countries whose data protection laws do not provide the same level of protection as those in the UK. If we do so, we will ensure that an agreement is in place in which anyone to whom we pass the information agrees to treat it with the same level of protection as if we were dealing with it.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. - A drop in coal and natural gas severance tax collections was the No. 1 cause for West Virginia's $90.6 million year-end deficit, budget officials said.
Late last week, Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin approved a $17.7 million cut from the state's Medicaid reserve fund to help make up for that shortfall and avoid ending the fiscal year with a budget deficit, which is forbidden by state law.
The state also emptied its $45 million income tax reserve fund and the Legislature passed $28.3 million in budget cuts in an attempt to make up the deficit.
The state ended fiscal year 2013 with $4.05 billion in tax collections, far below the predicted $4.149 billion.
Deputy Revenue Secretary Mark Muchow said a drop in severance tax collections largely drove that shortfall.
The state collected $409.7 million in severance taxes over the last year, although the state revenue department had predicted $461.5 million in collections.
Muchow said coal sales dropped by more than 15 percent, causing production to drop about 20 million tons from 2012. Natural gas didn't make up for those losses, as the price of gas trended downward over the last fiscal year.
Congress also extended "bonus depreciation" for another year, which led corporation income and business franchise taxes to come in under estimate. Muchow said the state expected to collect $248 million last year. But after Congress extended the tax breaks, which allow businesses to write off half the cost of new equipment for one year, collections actually came in at $238 million.
Sales taxes also suffered. Muchow said the state expected Congress to phase out its temporary payroll tax reduction. Instead, federal lawmakers let the tax break abruptly expire Jan. 1, leading to smaller paychecks nationwide.
"That had an impact on sales tax collections. Less money in my pocket means less ability to spend," he said.
Muchow said he expects the state will have a slightly easier time meeting its budget in the coming fiscal year. He said the state would need 1.9 percent revenue growth to make ends meet.
"It's within reason," he said. "It's a reachable target. But I don't expect this to be a banner year in terms of growth."
The state will lose at least one revenue source for the coming fiscal year: the state's food sales tax expired on Monday, costing the state about $174 million a year in collections.
Muchow said that would not affect budget projections, however, because the state didn't include food tax collections in its 2014 projections.

It fit their narrative. Reality doesn't matter. Words and intentions trump facts. Years ago a friend asked me, "What does a sane man do in an insane world?" He has been dead several years so does not have to suffer these later days.
So he is paralyzed and brilliant at physics. Does that make him an authority on morality. Didn't Jordan annex the West Bank and didn't Egypt annex Gaza? Was there a moral uproar about that? Didn't they lose those territories when they lost the war they started? When was the rule that the losers were supposed to benefit from their losses was put in place? What other countries have been urged to commit suicide?
Isn't IQ strongly related to language and family circumstances. Doesn't it not test intelligence, bu doesn't it predict how a person will likely get along in college. If it is genetic, ti would take more than three generations to change. Some do not want facts if they do not fit their narrative-see the Benghazi story.
What an encouraging prospect! She is just the one to do that job.
Obesity is widespread (inadvertent choice of word, but very apt) in both adults and children. A higher percentage of the poor are fat. But now we have food deserts for he poor. There seems to be a contradiction here. Is Mrs. Obama at ideal body weight? Example is an excellent way to teach.
A person is never really safe. Shift happens. Prevention is a good idea, but not every bad happening can be prevented. It seems easy for people to become complacent. Some deal with problems that seem so insurmountable and threatening that denial is used to deal with it. It is my view that some in the highest circles of power in the U.S. have the idea if they just change the language all will be well. For example, avoid the words radical Muslim, Islamic jihadist and, even, illegal immigrant (not that I think illegal immigrants pose as great a threat as do terrorist Muslims). Does changing the words or avoiding the words make the problem go away? No, but it may prevent or delay needed action.
Someone suggested that many of the Chinese in the U.S. descended from people from south China where they grow rice. It was suggested that rice growing was a year around matter and that is required a lot of work so that people with that heritage had more of the work ethic than did many others. Parental attitudes seem to play a big part in how children approach school. I am concerned about the fading of the work ethic in the people whose ancestors have been in North America (the U.S.) for a long time.
I have a rather long list of non-white columnists and others that I admire. This gives me some hope that blacks will not have such a high percentage in the underclass-poor, ignorant and withut much hope for a bright future.
Donald W. Bales
Usage renders some words useless and ruined. For examples, take "liberal." Once it meant in favor of freedom as opposed to authority. Now it means in favor of big government and the welfare state. Of take "gay." Once it meant happy and carefree. Now it means homosexual. Or take "fairness" once it meant treat every evenly, now it means take from the provident and investing and give it to non-workers. Or take "diversity." On campus it means having lots of different ethnic groups, but no conservative faculty or administrators or Christian groups.
The corporations want cheap labor and the Democrats want cheap votes. Neither are good reasons to allow so many illegal immigrants into the country. Rewarding people for bad behavior is a good way to get more of it. This seems to so basic that even a liberal should be able to understand it. But Republicans do not have a good record about this either. Reagan let a lot of illegals become legal.
I believe that it is harder now fo stay married. My wife and I recently celebrated our 68 anniversary.
Of course, we grew up and married at a much earlier time and in a different society. It may be due to my extreme age, but I perceive that our society, our culture and our economy is in a decline and the electorate doesn't seem to realize it or care enough to lead to changes in the direction. I perceive that much of our problems have been promoted by Federal government actions. Price and wage controls led to health insurance benefits being used to bid for scarce labor during WWII. Progressivism began about 1900 and grew remarkably during the Great Depression. Now the Federal government wants to run everything, but runs nothing well.

Man Dies After Live Roach Eating Contest
Hmm, Hmm Good.
http://www.chron.com/news/article/Ma...la-3929382.php "The winner of a roach-eating contest in South Florida died shortly after downing dozens of the live bugs as well as worms, authorities said Monday." |
Don't eat roaches. Problem solved.
Play stupid games....
There are a handful of things I would not do for a Million Dollars.
Eating a live cockroach would probably be near the top of that list. :puking: |
My guess is anaphylactic shock. Stupid way to die, eating roaches...
I remember some time ago, a woman died of water intoxication after drinking large amounts of water as part of a radio call-in contest.
It's probably a good idea not to ingest unreasonably massive quantities of anything at one time. . |
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes:shocked::rofl:
None of the other contestants got ill, so that largely rules out bug poisons or other pathogens.
My guess would be he either had an allergy or some pre-existing condition. Either way, that's irresputably discusting way to go out! |
I'm surprised the guy on the "Man against Food" show on the Travel channel doesn't go face down in a plate of French Fries,or ultra hot wings sometime.
What a bunch of dorks.
Duly noted: This is not the way to gain the radiation immunity of roaches. :faint:
One of the comments says 'never mix roaches and worms'. :rofl:
By the way I live in Deerfield Beach where this took place. Only about a mile from my house. I will be interested in hearing the actual cause of death when it is determined. Is it possible he asphyxiated on the vomit? Eye witnesses in the news reports are saying he was vomiting profusely and his face was covered in roach parts. There is a video online that shows this was a pretty big event with a packed crowd in the store. / |
Roaches check in, but they don't check out...
Like suicide bombers, you just gotta wonder what the heck were they thinking? He died eating live roaches. There are some dumb ways to die and surely that must be near the top of the list.
Flash |
Please... someone tell me he said "Hold my beer, and watch THIS!" before doing the deed.
I wish we had the opportunity to see one hour into the future. I wonder what that knot head would have thought if the preview showed that he would be dead in the next hour from eating live roaches? It probably wouldn't have made any difference.
Flash |
I guess this will make a pretty nifty segment on "1,000 Ways to Die"...

It's usually about this time of year the bears start hanging out here, fattening up for winter. Plenty of apples, berries, and other chow around for them so couldn't keep them away if I wanted to, but I like to have them around anyway. This one is kind of shy, runs away whenever it see's me. I've had some here much more relaxed.

Similar to another recent post, I'm working on a new MacBook Pro, with new CS6 software. No matter what I try, it crashes instantly when I go to print or make a pdf. Is it a font problem? Mine were managed at first by FontBook and now by Extensis Suitcase 4, but it doesn't seem to make any difference. How have others gotten around this problem? (I'm in a lucky position in that there are no old fonts or old bits of software on the machine -- but it's still crashing! Arrgh!) Thanks if any ideas.
- power off mac and turn back on while holding down Command + R (dont do it on an external keyboard just to be safe)
- choose the re-install Lion option (I'm sure there is another way to re-install Lion, this is just the way I did it, not saying its the best or only method)
- DO NOT INSTALL MACBOOK (Mid 2012) Software Update 1.0 - THIS SCREWS ADOBE UP!
Ya, I hear you, I was too with my brand new macbook pro I just bought, but doing this re-install keeps all your programs and files in tact and you do not have to re-install everything from scratch like you just bought it, which I was surprised that it didnt delete everything off my mac too at first. I think because I didnt delete the startup disk/mac hd first and only did the lion re-install. It was painless actually and only took an hour and a half. I know, you spend this much money and you expect things to work...
I was having this problem too, and it ended up being a font issue in an old graphic (converted the font to outlines in illustrator and then saved as .eps, unchecking the "embed fonts" checkbox). But now my coworker (who just upgraded to CS6) is having the same problem, and her image doesn't have any fonts in it. We are using PCs.
No resolution here yet.
One thing you might try -
InDesign would also crash when we try to copy the problematic image. So if you aren't sure which image is causing the problem, you can narrow it down by trying to copy each image until InDesign crashes. Then you can look further at that image and see if there are problems with it.
We're still trying to resolve this here, so very interested in any updates.
I bought a new Mac because I was having problems with the old one. This isn't a whole lot better! I can't believe these two major companies didn't work this out before the release. Ever hear of testing before releasing? Brand new laptop with constant crashes. Also lost a lot of my functions for my priner. NO MORE duplexing! Might just go back to the store and looks at PCs. Never thought those words would come out of my fingers!!!!!!!!!!!
Please see InDesign Help | InDesign Crashes with Blank Dialog Boxes on MacOS 10.7.4
The problem is caused by changes to the Apple OS, by Apple, AFTER CS6 was tested and released.
I found the issue in CS5 that it was the Core Plug-in from Extensis Universal Type Client (if that is what you are using).
Try de-selecting the "Enable Universal Type Auto Activation" in your Universal Type Preferences.
My CS5 InDesign kept crashing when making pdfs- now it hasn't crashed since- but you have to check that all your fonts are loaded when opening indd documents.
Hope this helps

In Chicago and Northern Illinois

Better Business Bureau has some suggestions for Target customers who are concerned that their credit or debit cards may have been compromised by the data breach announced by the retailer this morning.
The BBB warns consumers about Scareware attacks that hackers use in order to steal personal information and spread viruses. The BBB also lists some tips to protect consumers from becoming victims of this scam.
The Car Allowance Rebate System (CARS) or Cash for Clunkers program provides a rebate for consumers who trade in qualifying gas guzzlers for more energy efficient cars.
The Better Business Bureau offers advice on keeping credit rates low. There are a few steps that credit card holders can take to try and keep their old rate despite economic conditions.
The Better Business Bureau of Chicago and Northern Illinois warns consumers to be alert for deceptive telemarketing phone calls in regard to their vehicle manufacturer on warranty status.
The solicitation of used vehicles has become an increasingly popular means of raising funds, especially for local or regional organizations. On the surface, it seems like a win-win situation for the donor and the charity: a convenient and easy way of disposing of an unwanted car while helping a cause. Before handing over those keys, however, there are some things that you should know.
Know your rights, Use trustworthy Web sites, Protect your personal information, Beware of closeout sales, Beware of phishing, Confirm your online purchase is secure, Pay with a credit card
Pre-paid bank cards are like gift cards, but can be used anywhere credit cards are accepted, allowing the recipient more flexibility in where the money can be spent. Pre-paid bank cards aren't without their downside, however, and the Better Business Bureau of Chicago and Northern Illinois is providing advice on purchasing and using pre-paid bank cards.
Shopping for gifts can be a real dilemma. Just what do you get the person who has everything: your finicky Aunt Mary, your co-worker, or your child's babysitter? Gift cards may be the answer: one size fits all, and the recipients can get exactly what they want.
A new car is second only to a home as the most expensive purchase many consumers make. According to the National Automobile Dealers Association, the average price of a new car sold in the United States is $28,400. That's why it's important to know how to make a smart deal.
Driving a car fueled by something other than gasoline or diesel fuel is no longer the stuff of science fiction. In addition to conventional gasoline and diesel fuel, reformulated — cleaner — gasoline and alternative fuels now are sold in many parts of the country. Alternative fuels such as methanol, ethanol, compressed natural gas, liquefied petroleum gas, and electricity produce fewer tail pipe pollutants than conventional gasoline and diesel fuel. Using them could improve air quality.
Mail Call: Bills, a letter from your Aunt Mary, a circular from a local department store, your monthly bank statement, and an offer for a new credit card that says you've been "prescreened" or "prequalified."
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is the nation's consumer protection champion. The FTC works for the consumer to prevent fraud, deception and unfair business practices in the marketplace. The FTC provides the information consumers need to spot and avoid fraud and deception.
If you plan to travel overseas and drive while you're there, it's a good idea to get an international driving permit (IDP) to accompany your U.S. state-issued driver's license. But make sure your IDP is from one of two associations authorized to issue IDP's in the U.S. - the American Automobile Association (AAA) and the American Automobile Touring Alliance (AATA). According to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), the nation's consumer protection agency, IDPs sold and issued by any other organization to U.S. residents are bogus and could cause problems with local authorities if you are caught driving with one.
Have you ever been told you were over your credit card limit, or had your debit card declined, even though you knew you had available credit, or money in your bank account? If this happened shortly after you stayed in a hotel or rented a car, the problem could have been card "blocking."

WKU Biology Alumnus Receives Allteach Young Scientist Award
Date: Tuesday, March 20th, 2012 | Return to Archive |
News from Biology Department Alumni:
My name is Maggie Wisniewska, and I am a 2011 WKU alumnus. I completed my Master of Science Degree (MS) in Biology under the advisement of Dr. Bruce Schulte. My MS thesis question investigated the interplay of age, reproductive condition and behavioral traits in female African savanna elephants. While still at WKU I decided to enter the competition for the Alltech Young Scientist Award (http://www.alltech.com/education/alltech-young-scientist/about). This award is granted by Alltech, Inc., a company that gives undergraduate and graduate students a chance to share their research with the global community and compete at two levels: country and international level. The Young Scientist program's scope of interest spans a variety of topics related to agriculture, such as agronomy, animal science, biological science or veterinary science. Recently, my paper, entitled "Trade-offs in activity budgets in lactating and nonlactating African savanna elephants", was selected as the third prize winner in the United States graduate category. I also received a prize of $300 USD, a memory stick and a medal recognizing my work. Today I would like to share my success with the Biology Department and the entire WKU community. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank my committee members and fellow graduate students for their guidance and support and the WKU Graduate Studies, Ogden College of Science and Engineering, and the Department of Biology for their funding.

Adongo was listed as a Bulls wider training group member in 2012, and will link up with the Kings as the Eastern Province region looks introduce themselves to Investec Super Rugby.
While Adonga confirmed to Kenya's Daily Nation newspaper that he has signed to play with the Port Elizabeth-based Super Rugby newcomers, he indicated will return to New Zealand in July.
The hulking forward, who stands nearly 2 metres tall and weighs a cut 115 kilograms, also said that a dream had been sparked of continuing his playing career in New Zealand.
"My first season with the Counties has been superb and eventful, having been part of the team that won the Championship," Adongo said.
"I am so delighted that I should realise my dream of playing in Super Rugby, after having only played for Bulls in the build up ahead of the 2012 Super Rugby."
Working under former All Blacks captain Tana Umaga, Adongo adapted well to the Steelers high paced game, with the Kenyan born player saying that the biggest difference between the New Zealand game and South African style being the desire to play at speed.
"I went to New Zealand with high expectations and for sure it has been fulfilled," he said.
"I was looking for an opportunity to play and showcase my skills and I definitely got that in New Zealand and that has benefited me as a player and going forward."

A Focus For The Future
Downtown plaza spurs revitalization and a community-gathering place
By Cory Styron
The crowd counted down "5-4-3-2-1," and the fountain erupted with a colorful light display to celebrate the grand opening of the Sharon Prete Plaza in Round Rock,Texas. The plaza is named for the retired director of the parks and recreation department for her 30 years of service to the community and for laying the foundation for the department.
Located on Main Streetin the heart of downtown and nestled among the historic Nelson Hardware building and the City Hall Business Center, the plaza provides an oasis of leisure to the community as well as a spark of redevelopment to the downtown area.
The site was originally home to city hall and then repurposed as the city's first senior center. When the center moved to the new Allen R. Baca Senior and Community Center in 2006, community discussions began as to how to use the former property. A main concern of the area businesses was the lack of foot traffic on the weekends and a lack of parking during the week. These two topics framed the conversations for how this space should be used.
Exploring Options
One initial concept was to use the space for additional parking, which would increase capacity by 10 spots. This was a popular option to visitors who made frequent trips to city hall because it provided front-row parking instead of the nearby parking garage. Although the garage is closer in distance to city hall, proximity varies for those parking on the second or third level. The cut-out parking concept was gaining momentum–until an interesting twist of events.
The old city hall/senior center building was empty and becoming a distraction to downtown businesses. It was too small to be used by other city services, and the interior design was not friendly to new shops or eateries. The major design factor was the bank vault-type safe in the middle of the building, straight out of the old Western banks. A big, bulky door and concrete steel walls was the building's centerpiece. Results of a condition assessment of the building indicated a substantial investment would be needed for the building to meet existing codes and remove the vault. The decision was made to raze the building while the debate continued over any future use of the space.
A New Vision
The building was razed in November 2009, leaving a bare, open space, which was used to set up the performance stage for Christmas Family Night. This annual event draws more than 15,000 citizens for the celebration. The parks and recreation department decorates the three historic blocks ofMain Streetwith small houses, where cider, hot chocolate, popcorn, and other goodies are served. Carolers roam the streets, stories are told, gingerbread cookies are decorated, and Santa makes his appearance on a horse-drawn sleigh. Elected officials quickly realized the potential power of the space–the seating area, the potential for entertainment downtown, and the central location for the community to gather.
In the fall of 2010, the city's parks development team conducted numerous open houses, design-charrettes and conceptual-design meetings to collect input from residents, downtown business owners, and elected officials. Several key amenities continued to be popular:
- Water features
- Shade
- A performance area
- A multi-use gathering ground.
The design concept was for a 14,000-square-foot plaza with a 610-square-foot stage, built-in seating with decorative lighting, 4,000 square feet for grass seating and a lounge area, a custom shade structure, custom art panels, an interactive water fountain, and a state-of-the-art multifunctional lighting system. The total budget for the project was $525,000.

Photo: Thinkstock When it comes to quality shut-eye, research has shown that women are the sleepless sex. They tend to have a harder time falling asleep than men and are more easily startled or jostled awake. Despite this, more women than men claim they're loath to give up spending the night at their partner's side. Here are the most common co-sleeping issues women have, and how to solve them.
"It drives me crazy how he falls asleep as soon as his head hits the pillow." "Men can fall asleep faster, almost anywhere, and have fewer complaints about the quality of their sleep," says John Dittami, an Austria-based sleep researcher and co-author of the recent book Sleeping Better Together. One possible explanation has to do with sex hormones, which affect how long we sleep overall and the amount of time we spend in each stage. Women's levels of estrogen and progesterone tend to fluctuate, especially during menstruation, pregnancy and menopause. Dittami says it's important for each member of a couple to focus on his or her own go-to-sleep routines. If yours involves reading in bed, look for a gooseneck light with a focused, just-strong-enough beam, because even a small amount of diffuse light can disrupt your partner, according to Dittami. Leave the iPad and laptop, with their sleep-inhibiting blue glow, in the other room. Because sleeping men tend to be less sensitive to movement, Dittami says you don't need to worry about waking him when you climb into bed. "His snuggling—while sweet—makes it hard for me to fall asleep." While researching their book, Dittami and his co-authors found that for couples, spending time together in bed (talking, touching, snuggling) is an extremely important aspect of a relationship. But most of us try to combine this together time with sleeping time, and that's where things get tricky. "Sleeping is an individual thing. It's not a duet," Dittami says. He advises separating the two phases of the night and setting aside time for pillow talk or cuddling (or both at once) before you move to opposite sides of the mattress. "We have this Hollywood idea where the couple goes to bed at the exact same time, with the woman falling asleep snuggled under the arm of the male," Dittami says. Not only does this rarely happen in real life, but, he points out, few women would be comfortable with their neck cramping in their partner's armpit.
