Pipe project to end this week
Date: July 1, 2009
by: Kurt Schultheis | City Editor
A pipeline emergency on Dream Island Road has spurred frustration and created headaches for nearby residents.
At its May 4 regular meeting, the Longboat Key Town Commission transferred $100,000 from its utility contingency fund to pay for the replacement of 150 feet of 8-inch, clay- and cast-iron wastewater pipeline under Dream Island Road that needed immediate attention.
Town Engineer Anne Ross said that without immediate attention, the pipe could have caused road failure or wastewater overflow.
The original, decaying pipeline was a victim of being surrounded by groundwater 13 feet from the road's surface.
"The problem is that in that area near Dream Island Road, you dig a hole and bay water keeps coming up," Ross said. "It's a challenging project for any contractor."
The challenge has led to more than six weeks of work, which Ross said is wrapping up this week.
The work has frustrated nearby Key residents Gertrud Schellenberger and Kathy Simonds.
Schellenberger, a Key resident since 1970, lives right next to the vacant lot at 588 Dream Island Road, which town staff received permission to use as its staging area for the project.
But Schellenberger might be second guessing her decision to sell the vacant lot years ago.
"It's very noisy and my whole house has been shaking for weeks," said Schellenberger, who also expressed environmental concerns about a diesel oil drum on site that was used to replace the pipeline.
"It's been a huge inconvenience and it gets tiring," Schellenberger said.
Kathy Simonds, who lives on Dream Island Road, is also fed up with the noise.
"It was supposed to be a two-week project that's lasted more than six weeks," Simonds said.
A 6-foot-wide- and more-than-100-foot-long section of the road was torn up to replace the pipe. And, when a tree needed to be removed to start the project, the road was shut down completely for a four-hour stretch.
Residents in the area have also complained of milky white water in their nearby water inlet at times and will have to deal with one more week of noise. The site is undergoing restoration cleanup, which includes the relocation of cable and phone wires and the repaving of Dream Island Road.
"We know it's noisy and we apologize for the inconvenience to our residents," Ross said. "We tried to work with the neighbors the best we can."

nice design but quality of fabric is not good showing fuzziness after only a couple of hours wear.. not even washed yet.. very high price for what you get.
It is a little ill-fitting, and not as substantial as it appears in the pics. It will be fine for wear around my home.
This fabric is ULTRA thin - very cute shirt and great bold color - but virtually see through material. I bought the wine color too which you would think would be dark enough.
I ordered this top to wear with jeans and a statement necklace. I was very excited when I ordered it because the quality looked great and it looked thick and flowy and that was what I was looking for. This top is VERY thin and not flattering at all. You can see straight through it, I ordered the charcoal color so you would think that it would be dark. It wasn't at all. It looked very cheap and you could see every roll, every curve, and it bunches really bad. I would not recommend ordering this shirt. I sent it back as soon as I tried it on. The picture is VERY deceiving. I was Very disappointed :(
The material of this top is more like that used for thin, lightweight thermal underwear. Not something you can wear to the office. Doesn't leave anything to the imagination.
The top is cut very nicely, drapes well and is flattering but the fabric is cheap quality and thin. My bra shows through and and it has to be worn with a camisole underneath. If they just used a better quality fabric this would be a great top. I agree with the reviews that say the picture is deceiving.
the flowing lines and long sleeves make me feel pretty and slim. When I'm cold, I slip on a flowing classy sweater. The basic colors are just right for pretty jewelry or a scarf. Love this so much I bought four of them; some short or medium sleeves and of course, different colors. The fabric looks silky but is washable
I love the fit but it wrinkles so easy - unless you take it straight from dryer to hanger you have to iron it - and if it hangs in the closet touching other clothes, it wrinkles - not worth all the effort
This is really cute with leggings or jeans, and it's got a flattering swingy shape. I bought the purple version and I'm glad I have a purple bra to wear under it�it's a bit sheer. It's fine with the matching bra, but I would NOT wear it with contrasting undergarments.
I like this top and it is just as large as I was hoping for a relaxing feel that still looks good.

Last week, Seoul Semiconductor launched its newest LED product, P4. The P4 emits 240 lm at 1 A of light and features a luminous efficacy of 100 lm/W @ 350 mA at the maximum, with only a single die, making it a brighter and more cost-effective light source compared to conventional 70 lm/W fluorescent and 15 lm/W incandescent lighting options.
"P4 is making history in the lighting industry as the alternative to conventional fluorescent and incandescent lighting sources," says Jung Hoon Lee, CEO of Seoul Semiconductor. "Conventional LEDs have been known to emit more than 100 lumens with several dies. Seoul Semiconductor's P4 is the only LED product in the world with 240 lm via a single die."
SSC's own patented phosphor and packaging technologies give P4 the highest luminous flux and the superior reliability characteristics needed to meet customer thermal management requirements. It is designed for operation in a wide variety of lighting applications and industries.
Seoul Semiconductor provides customers with the two different types of P4 products, one with 80 lm @ 350 mA (typ.) and the other with 100 lm @ 350 mA (typ.), to be applied in various ways by different applications.
SSC is planning to improve P4's luminous efficacy up to 135 lm/W by 2007 and 145 lm/W by the first quarter of 2008.

Whitley performs selections from her debut, Fourth Corner
Trixie Whitley(Le) Poisson Rouge (158 Bleecker Street, New York, NY) Map it $20
Fourth corner. Physically, it's where four states in the U.S. come together at one singular point. Symbolically, it's where the four great rivers in China come together as one. Or, it could be the cycle of life during the four seasons of the year. For Trixie Whitley, it's a metaphor for trying to find balance and belonging from the songs that make up her scintillating debut album, Fourth Corner.
Whitley burst into public consciousness in 2011 as the lead singer of Black Dub, super-producer Daniel Lanois' (U2, Bob Dylan) project, blowing people away with a voice and presence beyond her now-25 years.
And it's that voice: an emotional, blues-drenched instrument that ranges from a lilting slap to a knock-you-backwards uppercut. On Fourth Corner, Whitley explores the range of human emotion in another set of four: utter love, total rage, unadulterated happiness, and crippling loneliness. "It's those elements of life I keep coming back to," she says. "Both as a person and musically as well." (read more at lpr.com)

my views on the texans vikes game
1)i thought that DOUBLE M played damn good and he should he could take the carries if need be...
2)I also thought that marcus robinson established himself as a great wr to compliment moss(other wr's were respectable also)
3)Culp was clutch as he has been the whole season to this point.
4)defensive front showed me sometin wit the preassure they got on carr but carr was composed as his numbers showed.
5)secondary just got out classed in the later part of the game
6)The texans are a respectable team and we are very lucky with all of the injuries to get out of that hellacious town with a win.
my views on the texans vikes game
I don't think the secondary played that bad. Look at the junk Carr was throwing up, his recievers made him look great. Armstrong with a great diving gatch for 30 some yards, the coverage was very good on a ball that was nearly overthrown and a great catch. Johnson made a great catch with Shaw all over him with blanket coverage for 30 some yards, and Johnsons first TD was a ball thrown between 3 defenders high and out of the reach of almost everyone and it was another great catch, and his second TD was more or less a lob pass that he threw without having his feet set and it happened to fall in between the defenders for a jump ball that Johnson will win every time. You take away the great catches and Carr's numbers are just average or good at best. CArr did look good today but his recievers made his numbers what they were not poor coverage.8f72d7a2bfbfd6a931c3ea8edbece812
my views on the texans vikes game
Gee that sounds just like Culpepper with the recievers making some very good catches by going high to get the ball except Carr got hit hard several times.can we clone Bud Grant?

PEORIA, Ill.-- Four hundred volunteers from across Central Illinois gathered Wednesday to bring hope to ex-offenders.
The Peoria Civic Center was the site for Wednesday's 2nd annual Summit of Hope. The event brings ex-offenders, currently under supervision, together with volunteers in hopes of getting them on the right path as they re-enter society.
Participants can get everything from an ID card and a job, to counseling and parenting advice.
Volunteers say the event is all about making Central Illinois a safer place for all.
About 1,300 ex-offenders from Peoria and Tazewell counties were expected to attend Wednesday's event.
"I've seen some people here today that are seeking help that I never thought would be able to got to the point of this program, even get to where they're at today," said Peoria resident Homer Truitt. "But this program is a good program for the Peoria Community."

With all the snow and ice this week, people in Eastlake are keeping an eye on the Chagrin River.
The ice melt is well under way on the river. Most of the week the river has been covered with what is known as popcorn ice. The remnants of ice from miles upstream that has broken loose and collected, as well as the flat ice that was already there.
It is probably four to six inches thick. For now just a surface ice jam. Water is still flowing below the surface.
Eastlake Fire Chief Ted Whittington checks the water level several times a day, using water level markings on the Lakeshore Blvd Bridge.
He says that is the real concern. He's watched the river for years and puts the chance of flooding at 50 - 50.
"Until the ice is actually pushed out, that's the things that we kind of watch you know this ice moving up and down. Most of the residential areas along the bends there is where we see ice rise off you know on some of their property," said Whittington.
At the yacht club across the river many of the large boats are in dry dock for winter. The question is how long will they stay dry.
Strangely enough the threat of flooding has been good for business at Trader Jacks right on the river's shore.
The problem is that folks live at the end of the river, so any melting upstream, which spans some 80 miles, could clog and then flood the river.
The town's mayor has been watching the river for days and says the water level and the threat of flooding have both dropped.
Residents will keep a close eye on the expected rain overnight which had a father and daughter building one last snowman that they don't want carried off by the Chagrin River just two doors down.

Bad Kitties
March 18, 2011 - Jennifer Brookens
Just when I thought we had become accustomed to having three cats in the house, a revolt begins.
Perhaps I didn't get the litterboxes changed quick enough, or these animals have cabin fever too. Late the other night there was howling and fur flying; the first time in a long while. Tacky (the fat one) who likes to play alpha-male was cornering Deuce (the original Brookens cat) Both were standing up on their hind legs, and black and white fur was everywhere. Both (along with Pepe, who keeps a low profile) are declawed and neutered. Not a lot of harm done, but unnerving.
Part of me wonders if they only act like "themselves" at night. While Tacky like to play Mr. Dominant, he is quickly taken down a peg by the kids during the day, whether The Boy tries to ride the big kitty like a pony, or if the Girl emasculates him by dressing him up in baby bibs and/or feather boas. (Unfortunately, the dress-up never lasts long enough for me to get a pic).
This fight also made me understand why skinny little Deuce always tries to hide in our room at night. But his need to start licking us awake for breakfast at 4 a.m. keeps him banned. And since the other cats' games of chase throughout the house give me dreams of horse stampedes and bowling alleys, all the bedroom doors remain closed and off limits at night.
Then there is the moving of plant life. Paranoid Pepe loves eating any plant he can get up by. This other night, my husband came home with a beautiful bouquet of red roses for our anniversary. Five minutes later, we caught Pepe up on the table trying to nibble on the greens. That night - the same night as the catfight - I had to put this beautiful bouquet in the kitchen sink and block it off to ensure its safety. If it hadn't been for the soda case cube blocking off Pepe's access on the sink counter, he still would've tried.
And despite the chaos and messes they bring, they remain a part of our family. Sometimes I wonder what exactly they give me that I put up with this nonsense. Perhaps it's the purrs and snuggles of affection (when all they really want is food). There's also the entertainment factor. And in a pinch, blog material. Or maybe - once again - I've just been duped.

A new repot shows over 100 Kentucky bridges are in need of repair or need to be replaced all together.
The U.S. 60 Spottsville Bridge in Henderson County is one on a list of many that need to be replaced.
Crews say the bridge that was built over 80 years ago needs some attention because of it's age.
The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet considers the Spottsville bridge "functionally obsolete," which means a new bridge needs to be built.
Keith Todd of the KTC says there's no need for alarm
He says bridges that are at more risk, like the Spottsville bridge, get check more often. The main problem with this bridge is it's too narrow especially for two large trucks to meet in the middle.
Todd says drivers who don't follow posted weight limits weaken the bridge even more, which is adding more bridges to the list that need to be repaired or replaced.
"Anything that falls below 10-tons is going to be placed on a list pretty quickly," said Todd.
The KTC says currently roughly six bridges in our area are in the process of being replaced.
The Spottsville bridge is safe for traffic and is scheduled to be replaced in about five to ten years.

Section 18
This section presents data on the area, ownership, production, trade, reserves, and disposition of natural resources. Natural resources is defined here as including forestry, fisheries, and mining and mineral products.
Forestry-Presents data on the area, ownership, and timber resource of commercial timberland; forestry statistics covering the National Forests and Forest Service cooperative programs; product data for lumber, pulpwood, woodpulp, paper and paperboard, and similar data.
The principal sources of data relating to forests and forest products are ForestResources of the United States, 1991; Timber Demand and Technology Assessment, 2001; U.S. Timber Production, Trade, Consumption, and Price Statistics; Land Areas of the National Forest System, issued annually by the Forest Service of the Department of Agriculture; AgriculturalStatistics issued by the Department of Agriculture; and reports of the annual survey of manufactures, and the annual Current Industrial Reports, issued by the Census Bureau on the Internet and in print in the annual Manufacturing Profiles. Additional information is published in the monthly Survey of Current Business of the Bureau of Economic Analysis, and the annual Wood Pulp and Fiber Statistics and The Statistics of Paper, Paperboard, and Wood Pulp of the American Forest and Paper Association, Washington, DC.
The completeness and reliability of statistics on forests and forest products vary considerably. The data for forest land area and stand volumes are much more reliable for areas that have been recently surveyed than for those for which only estimates are available. In general, more data are available for lumber and other manufactured products such as particle board and softwood panels, etc., than for the primary forest products such as poles and piling and fuelwood.
Fisheries-The principal source of data relating to fisheries is Fisheries of the United States, issued annually by the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). The NMFS collects and disseminates data on commercial landings of fish and shellfish. Annual reports include quantity and value of commercial landings of fish and shellfish disposition of landings and number and kinds of fishing vessels and fishing gear. Reports for the fish-processing industry include annual output for the wholesaling and fish processing establishments, annual and seasonal employment. The principal source for these data is the annual Fisheriesof the United States
Mining and mineral products- Presents data relating to mineral industries and their products, general summary measures of production and employment, and more detailed data on production, prices, imports and exports, consumption, and distribution for specific industries and products. Data on mining and mineral products may also be found in Sections 19, 21, and 28 of this Abstract;data on mining employment may be found in Section 12.
Mining comprises the extraction of minerals occurring naturally (coal, ores, crude petroleum, natural gas) and quarrying, well operation, milling, refining and processing, and other preparation customarily done at the mine or well site or as a part of extraction activity. (Mineral preparation plants are usually operated together with mines or quarries.) Exploration for minerals is included as is the development of mineral properties.
The principal governmental sources of these data are the Minerals Yearbook and Mineral Commodity Summaries, publishedby the U.S. Geological Survey, Department of the Interior, and various monthly and annual publications of the Energy Information Administration, Department of Energy. See text, Section 19, for a list of Department of Energy publications. In addition, the Census Bureau conducts a census of mineral industries every 5 years (for 1997 results, see Tables 881 and 882).
Nongovernment sources include the Annual Statistical Report of the American Iron and Steel Institute, Washington, DC; Metals Week and the monthly Engineeringand Mining Journal, issued by the McGraw-Hill Publishing Co., New York, NY; The Iron Age, issued weekly by the Chilton Co., Philadelphia, PA; and the JointAssociation Survey of the U.S. Oil and Gas Industry, conducted jointly by the American Petroleum Institute, Independent Petroleum Association of America, and Mid-Continent Oil and Gas Association. Mineral statistics, with principal emphasis on commodity detail, have been collected by the U.S. Geological Survey and the former Bureau of Mines since 1880. Current data in U.S. Geological Survey publications include quantity and value of nonfuel minerals produced, sold or used by producers, or shipped; quantity of minerals stocked; crude materials treated and prepared minerals recovered; and consumption of mineral raw materials.
Censuses of mineral industries have been conducted by the Census Bureau at various intervals since 1840. Beginning with the 1967 census, legislation provides for a census to be conducted every 5 years for years ending in ''2'' and ''7.'' The most recent results, published for 1997, are based on the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS). The censuses provide, for the various types of mineral establishments, information on operating costs, capital expenditures, labor, equipment, and energy requirements in relation to their value of shipments and other receipts. Commodity statistics on many manufactured mineral products are also collected by the Census Bureau at monthly, quarterly, or annual intervals and issued in its Current Industrial Reports series.
In general, figures shown in the individual commodity tables include data for outlying areas and may therefore not agree with summary tables. Except for crude petroleum and refined products, the export and import figures include foreign trade passing through the customs districts of United States and Puerto Rico but exclude shipments between U.S. territories and the customs districts.

Dr. Malla's research is in the area of Order restricted inferences in nonparametric statistics. This relatively new research field develops statistical measures under constraints. For example, how does one take into account the cancer rates among smokers and non-smokers when it is known that non-smokers live longer than smokers, but the data may be in violation of this assumption! This is a challenging area with many applications mostly in survival analysis, life sciences, and reliability in engineering.
Dr. Malla also enjoys working in research projects in all fields of research activities where he particularly wants to apply new statistical procedures.

DAYTON, Ohio —
Indiana's got a few brutes, some big boys from the Big Ten who know how to throw their weight around.
But in their NCAA tournament opener, the Hoosiers turned to their speedy, 178-pound point guard to make James Madison's knees buckle right away.
Yogi Ferrell was the bully.
Ferrell scored Indiana's first nine points and had 14 in the first six minutes as top-seeded Indiana powered its way to an easy 83-62 win in the second round of the East Regional on Friday.
Not taking any chances with a No. 16 seed, the Hoosiers (28-6) started fast, building a 21-point halftime lead. They pushed it to 33 in the second half before letting up and had little trouble with the Dukes (21-15), who won their first tournament game in 30 years on Wednesday and thought they could hang with the Hoosiers.
"The speed they play with is unbelievable," Dukes guard Devon Moore said. "We haven't seen anything like that."
After being bruised and battered all year in the Big Ten, the Hoosiers finally got a chance to pick on a little guy.
"I've been waiting for this all week," said Ferrell, who added eight rebound and six assists. "A lot of us are jacked up to get out here, play against some different competition."
Looking every bit like a team capable of cutting down the nets in Atlanta next month, Indiana, which spent a good chunk of the season atop the AP poll, will play Temple in the second round on Sunday.
Will Sheehey scored 15 and Cody Zeller 11 - eight on rim-rocking dunks - for Indiana.
Freshman Andre Nation scored 24 and Charles Cooke 18 for James Madison, which made the score somewhat respectable in the final minutes but never really threatened.
Of the many upsets in NCAA tournament, there still hasn't been a No. 16 over a No. 1. And any thoughts James Madison, which beat LIU Brooklyn in a First Four game to get here, had of making history were over shortly after player introductions.
Indiana wasn't fooling around.
"We played excellent," Indiana coach Tom Crean said.
With Ferrell, playing in his first tourney game darting in and around the Dukes, the Hoosiers unleashed their offensive fury on the Dukes and clamped down on a James Madison team that never experienced anything like Indiana's man-to-man pressure this season in the Colonial Athletic Association.
After falling behind by 20, the Dukes got within 34-20 when Nation made two straight 3-pointers. However, the spurt only seemed to anger the Hoosiers and they closed the first half with a 9-2 run to take a 43-22 lead at halftime.
As he headed to the locker room, James Madison coach Matt Brady straightened his tie and scratched his head. Back in the staging area inside Dayton Arena even the Dukes' cheerleaders huddled to try and figure out what they could do better.
Too late.
Jordan Hulls and Christian Watford, seniors who helped Crean rebuild an Indiana program in shambles five years ago, hit 3-pointers and Zeller zoomed down the lane for a huge dunk as Indiana opened the second half with a 13-4 run. The Hoosiers barely let up, and later in the half, Victor Oladipo and Sheehey scored back-to-back baskets so quickly that the p.a. announcer said their names without taking a breath.
It was breathtaking, all right.
Indiana entered the tournament as a No. 1 seed for just the third time and saddled with higher expectations than the Hoosiers have had to deal with in years.
"Banner Up" has been the war cry of Indiana fans this season, a not-so-subtle dig at rival Purdue's "Boiler Up" cheer but also a reference to hanging a sixth NCAA title banner inside Assembly Hall.
The Hoosiers believe they can, and after overcoming a tough late-season loss at home on senior night against Ohio State, Indiana showed some of the resolve and toughness of a champ by winning at Michigan in the regular-season finale to win their first outright Big Ten title since 1993.
They've got loftier goals this March, and Oladipo said anything short of a Final Four appearance would be a disappointment.
Crean said there was a point in the season when it crossed his mind that the "gauntlet and grind" of the Big Ten would leave his team wobbly in March.
"I'd be lying to say it didn't," he said. "There's no way around it. You're in that league, and it's possession by possession, and it's so physical and taxing."
Indiana's size was a problem for James Madison right away. The 7-foot Zeller ran down a loose ball in the corner and grabbed a rebound as the Hoosiers had the ball for nearly a minute before Ferrell scored.
The lightning-quick guard scored on two more drives and then hit a 3-pointer to make it Yogi Ferrell 9, The Fourth U.S. President 0.
Brady called his first timeout, but there wasn't much he could say to his team other than to hang in there.
"We clearly lost to a better team," he said. "Watching them on tape and trying to prepare your team for Indiana is one thing, and then being on the court with them and having to play against the speed and power with which they play was really impressive."

Floyd Mayweathers upcoming fight versus Victor Ortiz is quickly approaching and he is training like a man possessed. His workouts are legendary among boxing insiders but for this fight he has taken it to the next level. Three workouts per day including nine minute rounds of sparring exemplify his dedication to remain unbeaten. Being labeled the best creates a mystique amongst his fans but Floyd understands that if he loses this fight then everything he has worked for will be stripped from him in one night. He knows that winning a rematch will do nothing to restore his braggadocian persona that holds on to his unbeaten record for relevance.
If he looks anything less than spectacular then his value drops because his braggadocio has created a precedence of excellence every time he enters the ring. The more he talks of Ortiz being easy work the more he will be scrutinized for anything that appears to be less than that. If you talk the talk then you must walk the walk. So far he has been able to accomplish this and for the most part has made it look like easy work.

Boost Your Credit Score - Simply by Asking
Building Good Credit
Boost Your Credit Score Simply by Asking
The higher your credit score the easier it is to qualify for credit and to qualify for lower rates and better terms. One way to improve your credit score is by improving your credit used to available credit ratio (the amount you have borrowed versus the amount you are allowed to borrow.) For example, say you have a $10,000 credit limit on a credit card and have a balance of $9,000. Your ratio is 90%, since you are using 90% of your available credit (on that card.) The lower your ratio, the better your credit score since that implies you use credit wisely. You can improve your ratio by paying off balances, but you also may be able to improve you ratio by asking creditors to raise your credit limit. If you have a $10,000 limit, a balance of $9,000, and you ask for your limit to be raised to $12,000, your ratio instantly goes from 90% to 75%. Since every 20-point increase in your credit score is likely to result in lower interest rates or easier to access credit ask and you may receive.

Germany? Before the beginning there was Ginnungagap, an empty space of nothingness, filled with pure creative power. (Sort of like the inside of my head.)
And it ends with Ragnarok, the twilight of the Gods. In between is much fighting, betrayal and romance. Just as a good Godly story should be.
Heroes have their own graveyard called Valhalla. Unfortunately we cannot show you a panorama of it at this time, nor of the lovely Valkyries who are its escort service.
Hail Odin, wandering God wielding wisdom and wand! Hail Freya, hail Tyr, hail Thor!
Odin made the many lakes and the fish in them. In his traverses across the lands he caused there to be the Mulheim Bridge in Cologne, as did he make the Mercury fountain, Mercury being of his nature.
But it is to the mighty Thor that the Hammering Man gives service.
Between the time of the Nordic old ones and that of modern Frankfort there may have been a T.Rex or two on the scene. At least some mastodons for sure came through for lunch, then fell into tar pits to become fossils for us to find.
And there we must leave you, O my most pure and holy children.

A Middle Tennessee medical facility is among seven across the state that received possibly tainted medication, the state health department announced Tuesday.The facilities in Tennessee which received the suspect medication are:
The seven Tennessee clinics gave patients injections that could have been tainted, but the problem could be much larger than that, as clinics in 14 states received the same supply.
The Food and Drug Administration said Friday the problems involve
steroid injections from Main Street Family Pharmacy, a compounding
pharmacy in Newbern, TN.
Officials have not confirmed that the products are contaminated, but they are being treated as though they are, Tennessee Health Commissioner John Dreyzehner said.
And that is enough to remind Joan Peay of the worst year of her life.
Peay survived the deadly fungal meningitis outbreak in 2012 after receiving a tainted steroid injection made by New England Compounding Center.
"Worst thing I've ever gone through," Peay said.
The thought it could be happening again at a different pharmacy seems a familiar nightmare for her and fellow survivors.
"I just could hardly believe it," Peay said. "Somebody there should've known, and it's a shame and a crime that they don't do something about it before people get injected."
Health experts issued the alert late last week after seven people in two states developed a variety of problems.
"I think it's pretty scary, especially if people are not knowing what they're getting and who they're getting it from and where it's coming from," said medical customer Kathy Sisk.
Early on, the state tried to calm fears.
"It's important, again, to point out that we don't have confirmation - at this point - that these products are actually contaminated. We are certainly concerned that they are, and we are acting as if they are," Dreyzehner said.
The exact risk remains a mystery survivors like Peay will certainly watch unfold.
"I mean, how could we let something like that happen again? That's just unbelievable to me," she said.
The state recently placed Main Street Family Pharmacy on probation for safety lapses.
State health experts have not yet seen the vials of the medicine believed to be tainted. Clinics already gave out most of them and threw out the rest because they expired.
The company voluntarily recalled all of its compounded medications.

Reviews for Almond Toffee Sandies
Sort By :
I work as a pastry chef, and when I found this recipe I had to try them...I LOVE them! As did my customers! I used veg oil instead of the canola, but that's it, oh and made them giant, lol...Thank You for this wonderful recipe!!!
My favorite cookie. I took some to a bake sale and the next year the lady who bought them sought me out and asked if I had brought any that year.
To increase the wow factor, add 1 cup of shredded coconut! These are a family favorite!
I have been making these since I discovered the recipe. They are delicious! Something different than the standard chocolate chip or peanut butter. Something to keep in mind since this recipe was published the manufacturer has decided to cheat consumers out of their toffee pieces! What use to be a 10 ounce bag is now only 8 so plan to use a partial second bag. You won't be disappointed in this recipe.
These cookies are amazing! Delicately crisp with a wonderful flavor. My family and coworkers can't get enough of them. These yummy sandies have replaced oatmeal-raisin cookies as my new favorite!

A universal favorite, this classic, relaxed pull-on cargo scrub pant from WonderWink has a comfortable fit through the seat and thigh, widening slightly below the knee. Extra pockets add functionality. There are seamed pockets at the hips as well as cargo pockets on each leg. The pocket on the right leg is doubled and has an interior cell phone pocket and instrument loop. The elastic waist can be worn flipped over, revealing a contrast color.
I've been in the medical field for 30 years and have worn several different brands of scrubs I really like these for comfort and they are true to size!
I squat a lot at work. Most scrub pants would stretch under the strain. These have stretch in the fabric and it makes my life easier. Not to mention, the pants don't ride off my butt.
The pants are exactly as described and the Royal Blue color is just what we wear at our hospital. Great fit!
I love these pants! They feel great, though after I've had them on for eight hours, they do start to sag a bit. One thing that would make them GREAT would be a drawstring like the Dickies GenFlex have so you have the option to tighten them up if you need to do so!
The color was off and the cut was low and runs small. It took over 2 weeks to receive the item although at the time of purchase the web site said it was in-stock.

I wanted to say a few more things about Suzette Haden Elgin's system for 'verbal self-defense'. The central idea she presents is that we can use language to create an abusive environment, or we can use language to create a non-abusive environment. Where the 'self-defense' comes in is when you're in a situation with someone who is being abusive – there are some ways to feed the abuse or escalate it, and other ways to basically deprive it of oxygen.
Elgin has made an overview handout here.
I'm tempted to reproduce the handout and explain each piece, but I will trust that people who are interested can follow up. Instead I'll just discuss two pieces, and their relevance to political work and debates.
The first piece is the main reason I stopped getting into long email debates except when there is a public forum and a very good reason, and it is from Elgin's 'Metaprinciples':
A. Anything you feed will grow.
B. Anything you starve, smother, or neglect will fester or die.
C. Every language interaction is an interactive feedback loop.
D. The only meaning an utterance has in the real world is the meaning the listener understands it to have.
E. Mismatch is a warning sign; watch for it.
Elsewhere in her work Elgin discusses how verbal abusers get certain 'rewards' for what they do. They attack in order to elicit an angry response, in order to get your undivided attention, in order to shut you down or silence you or put you in your place. Any of these different responses is a reward to a verbal abuser, and hence 'feeds' the abuse. In my time, I have fed a fair amount of it, before I came across Elgin's work and the simple statement that 'anything you feed will grow'.
The other piece I want to discuss has to do with the benefit of the doubt. I am frequently amazed at how ready people who know each other reasonably well are ready to jump to the worst possible interpretation of what someone says. Accusations then follow. This particular problem could be avoided through the use of what Elgin calls 'Miller's Law':
"In order to understand what another person is saying, you must assume that it is true and try to imagine what it could be true of." (George Miller; 1980.)
Our tendency when we hear someone say something that strikes us as unacceptable is to assume that it is false and try to imagine what's wrong with the person who said it. (As in: "That's ridiculous! He's only saying that because he's stupid/biased/ignorant/trying to trick me/…" and so on.) This guarantees communication breakdown; instead, use Miller's Law. The proper response when someone says, "My toaster has been talking to me!" is to give the speaker your full attention, ask, "What has it been saying?", and then listen carefully.
Why do I think this matters for leftists? Two reasons. First, there is an intrinsic value here. We have all been verbally abused. Probably all of us have been verbally abusive at times. Removing this from our lives by not doing it ourselves would add a lot of quality to our lives, and some of that can be done now, without having to dismantle all the systems of power and oppression.
The second reason is that our society is so atomized and that alienation has deep effects, one of which I think is a craving for community, meaning, and intellectual stimulation. These are all things that leftists could potentially offer, do reasonably well, and cheaply. When people do have interactions – at work, with family or friends – these are often loaded and fraught with verbal abuse. If leftists could offer an environment free of such abuse, people would be attracted to it out of sheer relief. The reverse is also true. My own experience is that leftists are exactly as abusive as other parts of society. A bit less in some ways, a bit more in others. At times I have felt like left events were tests of endurance: if you can sit through two or three hours of this boring talk or meeting, sacrificing social or leisure time, you can really show you care. The result is leftists offer no relief from everyday pain and alienation, which means missed opportunities.
If folks are interested, I'd welcome comments about verbal attack experiences activists have had and Elgin's system (esp miller's law and metaprinciples).

One group's campaign to portray pit bulls as just another lovable pet took its dog-without-pony show to Lowell on Sunday, hoping to charm citizens of a city who apparently know better.
BSL Awareness Walks, an organization that touts itself as "responsible pit-bull owners," hoped that a 90-minute stroll through Lowell with their tethered animals would convince people to shed those unwarranted "stereotypes" associated with that breed. By the way, the "BSL" in the the group's name stands for "breed-specific legislation."
That's something our state Legislature struck down in 2012, which voided Lowell's 2011 initiative designed to do just that. A city ordinance had required pit-bull owners to spay or neuter their dog, register it with the city clerk's office, keep the dog on a leash when off the owner's property, and require the wearing of a muzzle or be secured in a temporary enclosure.
The council's initiative was in reaction to a series of pit-bull attacks and the concern of overpopulation.
However, our state lawmakers opted to protect the civil rights of dogs over the public-safety of humans, apparently assuming that pit bulls indeed were getting a bad rap.
But the truth serves as a viable defense against libel or slander -- something the BSLers and Statehouse gang apparently didn't consider.
A series of findings, compiled by DogsBite.org, a national dog-bite victims' group, should lead any level-headed individual to an obvious conclusion:
* From 2005 to 2012, two dog breeds accounted for 73 percent of the dog attacks that resulted in death: pit bulls and rottweilers.
* More that 600 U.S. cities have adopted breed-specific laws since the mid-1980s, coinciding with the popularity of pit bulls as pets.
* Several countries, including Great Britain, regulate dangerous dog breeds with breed-specific laws. One of the four breeds specifically mentioned in Great Britain's Dangerous Dogs Act of 1991 is the pit-bull terrier.
So, aside from personal experience, there's plenty of evidence to suggest why the average citizen would feel threatened by this particular dog breed.
And it's going to take more than a pitbulls-on-parade road show and misguided politicians on Beacon Hill to change that perception.

This past week several reports came across my desk highlighting both the good news and the bad news about the future of automation and robotics. There are those who think that automation and robotics are going to be a massive destroyer of jobs and others who think that in general humans respond to shifts in employment opportunities by creating new opportunities.
Tucked down into the southeast corner of Tennessee, Chattanooga is, perhaps, the most unassuming city in the Volunteer State. Though it doesn't have the musical legacies of Nashville or Memphis, or the University of Tennessee like Knoxville, what Chattanooga's 170,000 residents do share is the fastest Internet speeds in the United States. That's right: Chattanooga is the first Western Hemisphere city running a one-gigabit-per-second fiber Internet service. It's 200 times faster than the national average and has earned Chattanooga its nickname, Gig City, along with a seat at the grown-up table.
Over 800 million people around the world suffer from food insecurity, and yet, global food waste continues to be a major issue with one-third of all food produced being thrown away.

Stacco Troncoso and his colleagues at Guerrilla Translation in Madrid have completed an English translation of an important statement from Spain, "The Charter for Democracy," which should be of great interest to small-d democrats throughout the world. He explains that "the group behind the piece, "Movimiento por la Democracia" (Movement for Democracy), is undoubtedly one of the most important evolutions of Spain's 15-M movement. It clearly targets the political arena without desiring to become a political party itself. Their 'Charter for Democracy' is an inspiring, thorough text on what politics should be. It proposes a politics for the people: squarely grounded in environmental realities and social justice, based on the Commons, defended from corporate interests and neoliberal dictates."
Has the United States finally reached peak sprawl? Recent research, including a new study out of the George Washington University School of Business, suggests that the end of the era of automobile-oriented suburban growth is upon us. In Foot Traffic Ahead: Ranking Walkable Urbanism in America's Largest Metros [pdf], Christopher B. Leinberger and Patrick Lynch argue that current trends indicate a reorientation to high-density, multi-use development akin to—but not quite the inverse of—the mid-twentieth-century abandonment of the center city for the suburbs. Moreover, they suggest that a wholehearted embrace of walkable urban development would strengthen the American economy in addition to providing the less tangible benefits associated with living and working in walkable communities.
After the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture cracked down on a seed bank in the Joseph T. Simpson Public Library in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania, hundreds of seed libraries in the U.S. are suddenly wondering if they are breaking the law. According to Pennsylvania regulators, in order to give out member-donated seeds, theSimpson Seed Library would have to put around 400 seeds of each variety through impractical seed testing procedures in order to determine quality, germination rate, and so on. The result of the Pennsylvania crackdown is that the library will no longer give out seeds other than those which are commercially packaged.

August 16, 2014 – Links International Journal of Socialist Renewal -- The war between the Ukraine government and the republics of Novorossiya [New Russia] is gradually taking on the character of a positional stand-off. The resources of both sides are exhausted, and fighting reserves are at an end. For the people's republics, defending themselves against the many times larger military forces of the Kiev regime, the well-known principle of "a government needs to win, but for an insurrection it is enough not to lose" operates with full force.

The Prison
A film showing about the forgiveness of Jesus sets the captives free spiritually.
As Ernest Shugu Vegah entered the maximum-security prison in Yaoundé, Cameroon, he followed the prison guards into a large hall where some 1,500 inmates were waiting. An evangelist and National Coordinator of the Global Church Movement in Cameroon with The JESUS Film Project®, he came with one purpose in mind – to set the prisoners free. But he didn't come alone. His team included chaplains, pastors, Campus Crusade for Christ staff members, laymen and women.
Kondengui Central Prison has made international headlines for its overcrowded conditions, inadequate food and poor sanitation. More than 9,500 prisoners are packed into a facility built for 2,000 inmates. The team brought with them rice, Bibles and other gifts to distribute and a film to show them.
The team was ushered on the stage. It was followed by an opening prayer, praise and worship time by the inmate's prison choir and a speech by the senior prison guard and the leaders of the prison.
Later, Ernest prepared the equipment to show them, "My Last Day," a 9-minute anime film that tells the story of Jesus' death on the cross. It's based on the viewpoint of the thief on the cross who found forgiveness.
"Many of the inmates were so excited watching this film and about 600 stood up to pray after the film and accept Christ as their Lord and Savior," he says.
One of the inmates said, "Even though I'm condemned to death in prison I have hope that through the Word of God my soul shall be saved like the thief we watched in the film and this Bible you offered me will always be there to comfort me.''

The Philippines are an archipelago of more than seven thousand islands off the southeast coast of Asia. Only half of these islands have been named and roughly one thousand are inhabited. Look at how beautiful they are! People first arrived here from the mainland around 25,000 B.C. by crossing a land bridge which existed at the time.
The name comes from Ferdinand Magellan of Portugal, who explored the Philippines in 1521. He claimed them in service of Spain, naming them after Prince Philip. Spain controlled the Philippines for the next 350 years until the Philippine Revolution of 1896.
Here's a picture of Fort Santiago, where the national hero Jose Rizal was imprisoned prior to his execution. He was a poet and novelist who supported peaceful reform, rather than violent revolution, against the Spanish government.
