Capts. Danny and Tyler Merritt are about as close as brothers can get.
"He's my best friend, even though I make fun of him," Tyler Merritt said. "We've deployed together and that's the most I've seen him, when we're deployed."
Now the two are business partners working in a Whitemarsh Island house. They started work early this year and they're already bursting at the seams.
"We've pushed out a thousand dollars of Nine Line Apparel since this morning began," Danny Merritt said.
That's right, $1,000 before dawn. Nine Line Apparel is a company they started after one of Tyler's West Point classmates Flip Klein was injured in combat.
"He lost three limbs in an IED in Afghanistan and we decided that it was part of our duty as service members to give back to our community," said Tyler Merritt said.
A portion of their proceeds goes to wounded service members. That hits close to home on many levels.
"As a helicopter pilot, a black ops pilot, one of my primary missions is to respond to those who have been injured, a casevac call, so helping them on the battlefield, then helping them back here, it does mean a lot to me," Tyler Meritt said.
They also hire veterans and veterans' spouses such as Erica Brode whose husband works on Hunter Army Airfield. She prints the T-shirts.
While Danny's embroidery machine is ten years old, he says it gets the job done and "it's unbelievably awesome."
They put out hats, t-shirts, fleeces and the very popular "man bag". It's fully loaded with survival gear, including a machete.
There's meaning behind the brand too.
"Nine line is a medevac call." Danny Merritt explained. "It's when everything goes wrong down range. It's probably the most important call you'll ever have to make to extract somebody from a battlefield."
They've deployed several times together, Danny Merritt even skipped Thanksgiving Day in the states to stay overseas and be with his brother who couldn't take leave.
"We started a foundation together; we served together, so it's just awesome," Danny Merritt said.

This series of PSAs was created as part of the Ad Council campaign on home energy efficiency. It urges consumers to save energy in order to have more money to spend on things like vacations, movie night, date night, and spa day.
To help consumers save money on utility bills, the Energy Department and the Ad Council released a series of public service announcements (PSAs) as part of a national consumer education campaign in 2011. The PSAs offer practical and simple actions homeowners can take around the house to save money by cutting their household energy consumption.
The PSAs directed homeowners to the Energy Saver website to find tools and information to make their homes more efficient. Energy Saver Tips offer practical ideas for reducing household energy consumption -- such as using a programmable thermostat to reduce heating and cooling bills or upgrading light bulbs to save money. Explore our home energy efficiency, saving electricity, and home heating and cooling pages to see how you can save money by saving energy.
For energy saving quizzes and infographics, check out the Energy Savers Facebook app.
Following the Ad Council's model, the announcements were distributed to media outlets nationwide to run and air in advertising time and space that was donated by the media. Did you miss the PSAs? You can watch them below.
Throwing away money on wasted electricity is like throwing the things you could have bought off a cliff. Watch this PSA to learn more.
Traditional lightbulbs give off nine times more heat than light. Watch this PSA to learn more.

vacation rental description
Quinta del Sol was conceived by a French Designer and built in 2007. A designer who lives and works in the Tamarindo area and is very well known with the many projects they are involved with in the area. Patrick's spirit of my home was to blend in some old world charm with some contemporary flair. It has an wonderful outside living space under the Rancho, made of teak poles from the land it was on and thatch from Nicaragua, where we spend a great deal of time. The main house is 2 bed 2 bath with 1bedroom 1 bath in the Cabina (guest suite) which is next to the house 25' .Total 3 bed 3 bath. Tamarindo is 9 min away and 15 min to Playa Avellana one of the nicest beaches in Costa Rica in my humble opinion. You have a new American style grocery store the AUTOMERCADO , fine dining, and just about everything you would need or want you can find in town. Tamarindo and the area is full of fun and exciting things to do, or you can do absolutely nothing, if that is why you came.

Lola's is particularly popular on Sundays, when Tamarindo locals and expats pack the tables here in a weekly informal community get-together

I have a chronic stomach condition that was brought on by anxiety: a reaction to absurd, neurotic over-thinking.

|State patrol provides details on fatal US24 crash
|Thursday, February 07, 2013 4:04 PM
CECIL – Heavy fog contributed to a massive 14-vehicle crash on Feb. 5 that left one person dead and seven injured and closed a section of US 24 for nearly 36 hours.
The Ohio State Highway Patrol's Van Wert Post continues to investigate the fatal crash that occurred at approximately 7:59 a.m. Tuesday on US 24 at County Road 87 in Crane Township, Paulding County.
Ashley A. Messmann, age 28, of Paulding, was driving a 2000 Chevy Blazer northbound on County Road 87. Dale D. Janssens, age 41, of Monroe, Mich., was driving a 2007 Volvo semi-truck and trailer eastbound on US 24. Messmann attempted to cross US 24 and was struck by the eastbound Volvo semi-truck.
The Volvo was hauling a tanker carrying 97% ethanol liquid. The tanker was ruptured in the crash and approximately 1,500 gallons of flammable ethanol liquid leaked into the median. The hazardous spill posed no immediate threat to the local community and was contained by multiple fire departments and the EPA.
Messmann was pronounced dead at the scene by the Paulding County coroner. For obituary information, click here.
It is reported that Janssens was wearing his seat belt and Messman was found not to be wearing her seat belt at the time of the crash.
Due to heavy fog and low visibility, vehicles traveling east- and westbound began to take evasive action to avoid the initial crash, resulting in seven more crashes and several individuals being transported to numerous hospitals for treatment of non-life threatening injuries.
Fourteen vehicles were involved in the crashes; 11 commercial vehicles, two passenger cars and a pickup truck hauling excavating equipment.
Drivers involved in the subsequent crashes:
• Billy E. Pursley Jr., age 49, from Loudonville, driving a 2013 Peterbilt semi
• Gary J. Schleinkofer, age 46, from Fort Wayne, driving a 2012 Nissan
• Russell D. Williams, age 38, from Auburn, Ind., driving a 2012 GMC dually pickup
• Mark T. Van Deilen, age 57, from Toledo, driving a 2011 Mack semi
• Herbert E. Anderson III, age 54, from Anderson, Ind., driving a 2006 Freightliner semi
• Larry N. Dugat, age 59, from Dixon, Mo., driving a 2012 Peterbilt semi
• Tommy R. Chandler, age 60, from Fort Wayne, driving a 2011 Mack semi
• Floyd E. Atha, age 62, from Scottsburg, Ind., driving a 2007 International semi
• Harry J. Suddon, age 67, from Brighton, Mich., driving 2012 Volvo semi
• Kyle M. Cavaleri, age 43, from Panama City, Fla., driving a 2011 International semi
• Douglas E. Bair, age 54, from Findlay, driving a 2010 Freightliner semi
• David D. Higgins, age 56, from Defiance, driving a 1994 Chrysler minivan.
The following sustained injuries in the crashes: Pursley; Schleinkofer; a passenger, Linda A. Gessler, age 69, from Fort Wayne; Williams; Van Deilen; Dugat and Cavaleri.
The on scene cleanup of ethanol was completed by SWS Environmental Services from Middle Point and Marine Pollution Control from Detroit and assisted by Ohio EPA, Public Utilities Commission of Ohio, Paulding and Defiance County EMAs, and Ohio Department of Transportation personnel.
US 24 between US 127 and Ohio 49 was closed from Tuesday morning until about 8:30 p.m. Wednesday during the cleanup. Work is expected to continue in the area for the next several days.

Hooksett man facing two negligent homicide charges in boating death
Eric Cable, 33, was indicted on two counts of negligent homicide for the July 14 incident that resulted in the death of Brendan Yerry, 28, of Hudson.
The new charges were made public this week in superior court. A Rockingham County grand jury handed up three charges against Cable earlier this month.
Cable faces up to 7½ to 15 years in state prison on one of the new charges for allegedly operating the boat while under the influence of alcohol, according to an indictment.
Prosecutors say while Cable was driving the boat, he allowed Yerry to ride on the gunwales or straddle the bow.
Yerry fell overboard and was struck by the boat when Cable turned into the wake of another boat, according to indictments.
Yerry was not wearing a life jacket when he went into the water around 7:40 p.m., according to the New Hampshire Marine Patrol.
Divers from the N.H. Fish and Game Department spent more than 12 hours searching for Yerry's body. It was found the morning after in about 15 feet of water, 550 feet from the northeast shoreline, according to investigators.
Northwood Lake sits between Rockingham and Merrimack Counties, spanning roughly 650 acres. Prosecutors say Cable was operating the boat in Northwood.
At the time of the incident, investigators could not say how fast Cable was driving the 18-foot motor boat.
Cable was initially charged with operating under the influence. That charge was bound over to superior court. He also faces two violation-level boating offenses. He remains free on bail.
Cable will be arraigned later this month on the new charges in Rockingham County Superior Court.

The information in this article is not correct. Alameda, along with all 58 California Counties will be offering online registration. I would like to know where you got your information since I handle all media inquiries.
Please contact me for further information.

Wait just a goll darned minute! Making it easier for people to vote and therefore expand the voting rolls? Well, I think my party will take a pass on that one! Just think about ACORN and the dozen or so cases of voting fraud over the past decade! I think if people want to vote we should make it as difficult as possible. That way only those who deserve to vote -- heavy on resources, time, and liesure -- will be best served.

This is unfortunately how voter suppression gets accomplished in the United States of America. Misinformed people are more likely not going to vote. If the weekly wanted to do the subject matter justice it would report on how it got snookered into reporting this blatantly false information.

Review: Lenovo ThinkPad Twist turns and teases
Lenovo's cleverly designed Windows 8 laptop-tablet hybrid takes too many turns for the worseFollow @syegulalp
The biggest problem with the Twist is the software installed in it, Lenovo-branded and otherwise. There's so much of it, designed to cover so many areas of functionality, that it's bewildering to sift through. Most prominent is the Lenovo Solution Center, which sits next to the system tray and advises you of software updates and other critical to-dos. Another Windows 8-specific app, Lenovo QuickLaunch, sits in the Taskbar and attempts to restore the behavior of the old-school Start menu. And there's a Lenovo Solutions for Small Business app that handles some advanced settings, such as blocking certain types of USB devices and running after-hours maintenance.
But wait, there's more! Also installed are a slew of Modern UI (aka Metro) system management apps from Lenovo such as Lenovo Support, which appears to eclipse some of the same functionality as the Solution Center; Lenovo Settings, for sharing your Internet connection, configuring your camera and audio, and setting location-aware behaviors; and the Lenovo Companion, which contains a Getting Started guide (why isn't that available directly from the Start menu?) and various partner offers. I guess the idea is that you pick the set of apps -- classic UI or Modern UI -- you'll be most comfortable with, but the results are messy. What's more, there are third-party apps on top of all that -- a trial subscription of Norton Internet Security, the Intel AppUp store, and others to boot.
Finally, I ran into some problems with the software that controls display orientation and the automatic disabling of the touchpad when the unit is in notebook mode. Sometimes when reorienting the unit for touch use, the cursor would skitter across the screen and accidentally click on things. At other times the display would rotate at random, even when nothing had been touched. I also ran into problems with the function-lock key, which toggles the Function keys between their conventional F1 through F12 behaviors and special-key behaviors (volume, brightness, Windows 8 functions). The function-lock key setting doesn't persist across suspend and resume. I suspect all of this is fixable with a software update, though. I just hope Lenovo is able to offer it sooner rather than later.

An evening at the Red Hen Cantina turned into a night in the Napa jail for a far-from-sober 31-year-old Walnut Creek man who resisted all efforts to get him to leave the restaurant, according to a shift activity log from the City of Napa Police Department:
On 09/21/12 about 2038 hours NPD Officers were dispatched to the Red Hen Cantina at 4175 Solano Ave. regarding an unwanted subject.
Upon the Officers arrival, they contacted the suspect, Elliot Galarza 31 years old of Walnut Creek. Galarza was determined to be very intoxicated and was placed under arrest.
Galarza began to resist officers prior to leaving the scene and he was subsequently secured.
After the fracas, Galarza was taken to the Napa County Department of Corrections and booked on suspicion of public intoxication and resisting a police officer, according to the log. Arrest information does not indicate a conviction.

Heavy Seas - Bourbon Barrel Aged Letter Of Marque 2011 (Dubbel) - Heavy Seas Beer

3.63/5 rDev 0%
The "Letter of Marquee" was a document that gave legal protection to a pirate, who could then act as a "privateer." However, in the case of this Heavy Seas beer, it opens with a moderate head that quickly subsides into nothing. The body is a cloudy body of amber that houses a sparse population of carbonation bubbles.
The nose will get a minor whiff of toffee and pine; the palate is overwhelmed by a swift onslaught of candy apple that fades into a wet nutmeg bash.
This is a pleasant rendition of your typical Belgian candy beer that is nicely quaffable without being too complex. It certainly allows one to drink a Belgian and "Embrace Your Inner Pirate." I wonder: did Belgium have many pirates?

On cask at Bodega, pumped into a pint glass. Described as being aged in a Buffalo Trace barrel.
The beer engine gave this pint a really nice, frothy, long lasting head. Lots of soapy lacing was the result. The beer was a clouded bruised fruit brown.
Lots of sweetness, but its quite nice. Rich dark cherry aromas, like any self respecting dubbel should have, figgy dried fruits and oaken vanilla. Alcohol is pretty much hidden, this one is a smoothed out fruity Belgian.
Plenty of rich dark fruits. Cherries take the lead. Vanilla is strong enough to give this beer a cherry yogurt-like flavor. Spicy yeast hides behind smooth bourbon soaked oak.
The cask was a little warm this time, but it suited the beer just fine. Carbonation was low, as was the body. The beer wasn't thin, but some added weight would have really helped this beer.
This one drank way easier than it should have. The low carbonation, hidden alcohol and thinner body had me gulping the stuff.
So far this is the best beer that I've seen on Bodega's beer engine. Hopefully the rest of the beers to hit the cask are going to remain as interesting as this.

More and more it seems sports have become more about the winning—at any cost—rather than how they're played.
'Decent' people teach their kids the opposite, right? It doesn't matter if you win or lose, it's how you play the game.
Sadly, today's headline sports stories are about fallen heroes who have lost sight of that basic ethic. Take Lance Armstrong for instance. No, really, take him—far away.
For this once seeming wonder-of-the-sports-world has taken every bit of faith that fans, teammates and competitors alike invested in him and spit that back in our faces.
Now that Lance has 'come clean' in a sit-down interview with Oprah Winfrey, the patron saint of absolution, we've learned the truth: That he cheated more during competition and training than he ever played fair. He took the concept of the importance of winning at all costs farther than any other athlete.
Perhaps we can now coin a new verb:
to armstrong (v)--the act of strong-arming ones teammates, fellow athletes and officials in order to cover-up one's every illegal, underhanded and immoral effort to win without accomplishing true athletic achievement based on ability, unenhanced strength or performance, or true grit.
There's a sense that modern sports—the industry that sports has become—is based on appearances and mythology. Many of our modern day sports scandals have happened because the myths that get perpetuated are upheld by the central players themselves, because there's money to be made based on the myths.
We have only to look as far as Penn State to see the money-printing machine that rested on the myth of the men of character populating the house that Joe Pa built.
So, too, did Armstrong come to believe his own mythology. He was the man who beat cancer, who moved (over) mountains to become the strongest and most capable man on two wheels—seven times; the man who so righteously founded an amazing cancer foundation must be pure and good enough to have never deceived those who believed in him; the man who believed so strongly in his good name that he repeatedly fired off career-ending, financially-draining lawsuits to attack against those who had the gall to call his very righteousness into question.
We've heard athletes before warn against the pitfalls of looking to people in the profession of sports as role models; we know too well the dangers of putting these mere mortals on the pedestals of gods. There's been much written in recent weeks about what parents like me should teach our children in the wake of scandals like the one Lance Armstrong, the former hero, has created.
I have children of the age that these kinds of stories start to resonate loudly for. My son, a budding athlete focused on all things sports, changed the radio presets in my car to WFAN. His finger hovers over the button before I can turn the key in the ignition.
We talk about how nobody is perfect, that even the best among us are fallible, that people in the public eye often get used to believing their own press. We try to put stories about other athletes worthy of admiration in his path. We watched "The Blind Side" this weekend, to talk about strength, perseverance in the face of adversity, kindness and dedication.
There's another sports story in the spotlight that we are tentatively watching, trying to figure out how to explain it to our 10-year-old enthusiast: Manti Te'o, the Notre Dame linebacker whose emotional backstory has suddenly fallen apart.
The much-talked-about girlfriend who died the same day as Te'o's grandmother turned out to be a hoax, and Te'o has revealed in his first interview since the hoax story broke that he was duped. But he had done his own share of misleading the public, the press and his teammates as well as those around him because he feared what people would think if they knew he'd never met the girl he knew only online.
He was keeping up appearances. It's all about the appearance of truth. But does anyone consider how things will appear after appearances are proven not to be true?
There may be no crying in baseball, but it now appears that there is skepticism in sports, and a lot of it. ESPN commentator Israel Guttierez said this past weekend, "Every major athletic accomplishment comes with a heavy dose of doubt, because we don't know definitively who's clean ... There's too much lying going on in sports already."
I write this column on Martin Luther King Jr. day, on a day when an unlikely man stands at the U.S. Capital and takes his second oath of office for a second, history-making term as President of the United States. On a day of heroes like today, I wonder whether our children should once again be encouraged to search for their heroes in places other than a gym, a ballpark, a stadium.
It is still possible to find true heroes in those places, to celebrate and admire. Take Super Bowl-bound Baltimore Raven Brendan Ayanbadejo, who has set an example supporting same-sex marriage equality. He's in good company with players like NBA star Steve Nash, former New York Giant Michael Strahan, NHL player Sean Avery and the outspoken Minnesota Viking Chris Kluwe, who have all stepped up to proclaim their support of marriage equality.
What about Spanish runner Ivan Fernandez Anaya, who had the chance to seize victory in a cross-country event last month. Running behind the Kenyan runner who led through the whole race, Anaya saw the leader mistakenly pull up just 10 meters before the end of the race. Realizing the leader didn't know where the finish line really was, Anaya slowed down and showed the Kenyan that he had just a few more strides to go.
Anaya was quoted in the Spanish newspaper El Pais as saying, "'I didn't deserve to win it. I did what I had to do. He was the rightful winner. He created a gap that I couldn't have closed if he hadn't made a mistake. As soon as I saw he was stopping, I knew I wasn't going to pass him.'"
If armstronging is the lowest form of sportsmanship, perhaps anayaing is what athletes should aim for instead.
Because otherwise what becomes of sports is far from victimless. The human capital left to flounder in the wake of celebrated falsehoods—the teammates whose honesty was corrupted by being forced to collude and lie; the sponsors and the supporters (like family members) who put their trust in the untrustworthy; the fellow competitors whose legitimate chances of victory were stolen—they're all left damaged by the lies an athlete tells.
And so too are we, the fans and spectators, left holding the wisps of myths and dreams. Rather than being able to seize the chance of showing what commitment, perseverance, strength and dedication can create, we are forced to teach our children that these athletes are not the gods from Olympus, but simply humans lying broken at the mountain's base.
The ends justify the means for athletes like Lance Armstrong. For them, winning is the goal at any cost.
Too bad it us who has to pay the highest price.

All things for a reason. When the Sleepy Hollow fire department had trouble selling off its old yellow pumper truck – recently replaced by a shiny new orange model — an opportunity to be charitable presented itself.
The Sleepy Hollow Fire Department has forged something of a sister-village relationship with Broad Channel, Queens, one of the many oceanfront areas hit badly by Hurricane Sandy.
The fire department has been, and continues, to collect donated goods this week at the fire house. (If no one answers there, try the police department next door.) They could use:
nonperishable food, water, diapers, cleaning supplies, gloves, new or barely used clothes, hygiene products (for men, women & children), blankets, school supplies, etc.
On Saturday morning, volunteers will drive these goods in something of a Santa's sleigh, the old yellow pumper truck, that will go and stay in Broad Channel to help their fire department.
The Village Board approved at Tuesday night's work session this generous gift.

text: Microsoft on Windows 8 and tablets: now you see it, now you don't Business 26 May 11 by Brian X Chen Tweet Jonathan Snyder/Wired.com Microsoft's CEO Steve Ballmer got ahead of himself on Monday when he publicly blurted out a general roadmap for the next version of Windows.Ballmer told an audience at a developer forum in Tokyo that Microsoft will have news to share about Windows 8 on tablets, slates and PCs over the next year."As we look forward to the next generation of Windows systems, which will come out next year, there's a whole lot more coming," Ballmer was quoted in a transcript provided by Microsoft. "As we progress through the year, you ought to expect to hear a lot about Windows 8. Windows 8 slates, tablets, PCs, a variety of different form factors."However, later Monday afternoon a Microsoft spokesperson retracted Ballmer's statement."It appears there was a misstatement," a Microsoft spokesperson said in a statement the company issued. "We are eagerly awaiting the next generation of Windows 7 hardware that will be available in the coming fiscal year. To date, we have yet to formally announce any timing or naming for the next version of Windows."Besides Ballmer's hiccup, little is known about Microsoft's next operating system. In June 2010, an Italian Windows blog published what it purported to be slides showing Microsoft's plans for Windows 8. The slides hinted that Microsoft hopes to replicate Apple's App Store model and instant-on capability for devices in order for Windows 8 to succeed. Microsoft did not confirm the authenticity of the slides, though observers agreed that they look credible.A looming question about Microsoft as a whole is just what it plans to do in the tablet market in the wake of the iPad. Apple, Google, and dozens of other small companies have produced tablet products, but Microsoft has not yet announced a credible tablet strategy. Microsoft's retraction of Ballmer's statement about Windows 8 on tablets suggests that the company isn't quite firm about its plans.

SPOKANE, Wash. He's been labeled a flop, a draft bust and now a drug addict. Former Washington State quarterback Ryan Leaf admitted all of it on Wednesday after being sentenced to 10 years of probation by a judge in Texas.Leaf, who was also a Heisman Trophy finalist, pleaded guilty to eight felony drug charges in Amarillo, Texas. In addition to probation, he was fined $20,000. He told reporters after his sentencing that he is ready to turn a new leaf. And he wants to rebuild his relationship with Washington State.First things first: he explained why he didn't tell anyone about his drug problem."For years I kept a distance from the Cougar nation because I felt I let them down in my professional career. I couldn't have been more wrong," he said while holding back the emotion. "There's a popular saying, 'Once a Coug, always a Coug'. It's really true."Leaf went on to say, in what was apparently a prepared statement, that he has received support from a variety of sources - including fans of Washington State."So many people in and around Washington State have reached out to me to help me," he said. "There are no words that can express my heartfelt gratitude."Leaf also said he was relieved to have the whole episode behind him - from the legal issues to the drug addiction. He admitted to checking himself into the Orchard Recovery Center near Vancouver, British Columbia where he underwent 42 days of inpatient treatment for his reliance on prescription painkillers. "Since then I have continued to seek therapy and do anything that would help me become the man I and so many others know I can be," said Leaf."I finally had to look squarely in the mirror, and what I saw was a guy who wasn't living a life of integrity," said Leaf of what it took for him to admit he had a problem with prescription drug addition. "I was lying to myself and hiding it from those around me."My secret came out though and forced me to confront my addition, but also ask for help. That is a key piece of addiction: asking for the help. To anyone out there who is afraid of what they might find it they take an honest look in the mirror, please ask for help. You don't have to battle it alone."If Leaf violates the condition of his probation he could face several years of prison time. He is reportedly working for a company in Montana selling vacation and convention packages.

Car Care: Air Conditioning System Check
Keep your passengers cool all summer long.
As the school year draws to a close and the temperatures climb, it's time to make sure the air conditioning system in your car, truck or SUV is capable of keeping the cabin comfortable.
Before taking your ride in for service, there are a few basic checks you can do at home. With the engine running, open up the vents in the dashboard and turn the fan on. Make sure the fan speed increases as you adjust the control. If the fan isn't working or a vent has been blocked, cold air won't be able to get into the cabin.
If the fan doesn't work, check to make sure a fuse hasn't been blown. A map of the fuse locations can be found in the vehicle owner's manual and fuses are easy to change. If the fan works but unpleasant smells are emanating from the vents, a build-up of mold or mildew in the ducts is a common cause. Although some aftermarket sprays claim to be able to eliminate odors from the vents, they may not actually work. In this case it's best to have your dealer's service department thoroughly clean the duct-work.
If the fan pushes out odor-free air, turn the temperature control as low as it goes and within a minute or so cold air should emerge. If the air comes out only slightly cooler or not cool at all, several items could be at fault.
While most hybrid vehicles use electrically driven air conditioning compressors, the rest of the vehicle fleet typically relies on a belt to turn the compressor. Like the other accessory drive belts for the alternator and water pump, the compressor belt can wear and stretch over years of use. A vehicle that has been on the road for many years may just need a new belt.
If the belt is relatively slack free and it's visibly driving the compressor, the system could have a leak and/or need a recharge. The refrigerant in the system can slowly evaporate, or leak out, causing the pressure to drop. Virtually any vehicle built since the early-1990s uses a refrigerant called R134a. Your dealer's service department can check your system for leaks and recharge it with the refrigerant recommended by the vehicle's manufacturer.
Vehicles built before the early-1990s actually use an older refrigerant known as R12 or Freon. Freon is no longer made, and older systems need to be upgraded with new seals and other parts to work with R134a. Most older vehicles still on the road have already been upgraded over the last 20 years, but if you have one that's still using R12, let your service department advise you.
If the air conditioning is at full pressure and still not generating cold air, the problem could be inside the compressor or perhaps in the heat exchanger. Both of these are problems that should be corrected by a professional, preferably at the dealer service department where the technicians have the tools to properly diagnose the problem and ready access to the parts needed to fix it.
The heat exchanger is usually mounted behind the engine compartment bulkhead and it's not easy to repair at home. Problems with the heat exchanger are also best left to the pros.
If your car isn't keeping you comfortable when the mercury climbs, it's best to get the system fixed before you get stuck in traffic on a steamy summer day. Many dealers offer service specials to check and recharge your air conditioning, so watch your newsletter for coupons or contact the service department.

PERU — Madison and Jennifer Owen, fifth-graders at Peru Elementary School, both enjoy playing softball for their county team, the Peru Yankees.
But the twins also know about the importance of regular exercise and recently took advantage of a new opportunity at school to promote active lifestyles with their parents, Holly and Herb Owen.
"We thought it would be a fun thing to do," Holly said as the family prepared for an hour of exercise during Peru Intermediate School's Family Exercise Night Out. "It's a great opportunity to keep everyone active."
Created by the Intermediate School's Wellness Committee, Family Exercise Night Out gives students in grades three through six a chance to work out with friends from school as well as with their parents and family members.
"The Wellness Committee wanted to come up with ideas that would involve the whole family," said Tiffany Berry, a fourth-grade teacher at Peru and member of the Wellness Committee.
"It's important for the kids to recognize the importance of being active, but that's also something we want them to pass on to family members."
The Wellness Committee first formed three years ago to promote the overall health and wellness of the Intermediate School students, Berry noted.
With funds from an Eat Well/Play Hard grant from the State of New York Health Department, the committee received $2,000 to create a "traveling health bag" that students could bring home and use with their family to create routine family-exercise programs.
"The traveling health bag included family-friendly activities, things the family could do together on the driveway or out in the backyard," Berry said.
A student could sign the bag out for a period of time, return it to school, and then another student could bring it home to share with family," she explained.

Sheila Jackson Lee on Crime
Democratic Representative (TX-18)
Proponent's argument to vote Yes:Rep. JOHN CONYERS (D, MI-14):This bill expands existing Federal hate crimes law to groups who are well-known targets for bias-based violence--they are sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, and disability. These crimes of violence are directed not just at those who are directly attacked; they are targeting the entire group with the threat of violence.
Opponent's argument to vote No:Rep. LAMAR SMITH (R, TX-21): Every year thousands of violent crimes are committed out of hate, but just as many violent crimes, if not more, are motivated by something other than hate--greed, jealousy, desperation or revenge, just to name a few. An individual's motivation for committing a violent crime is usually complex and often speculative. Every violent crime is deplorable, regardless of its motivation. That's why all violent crimes should be vigorously prosecuted. Unfortunately, this bill undermines one of the most basic principles of our criminal justice system--equal justice for all. Under this bill, justice will no longer be equal. Justice will now depend on the race, gender, sexual orientation, disability or other protected status of the victim. It will allow different penalties to be imposed for the same crime. This is the real injustice.
Proponents support voting YES because:
Rep. CONYERS: Some 650,000 men and women are leaving the Federal and State prisons each year. While the vast majority of the prisoners are committed to abiding by the law and becoming productive members of society, they often encounter the same pressures & temptations that they faced before prison. More than two-thirds of them are arrested for new crimes within 3 years of their release. This exacts a terrible cost in financial terms as well as in human terms. The Second Chance Act will help provide these men and women with the training, counseling and other support needed to help them obtain & hold steady jobs; to kick their drug and alcohol habits; rebuild their families; and deal with the many other challenges that they face in their efforts to successfully rejoin society.
Opponents recommend voting NO because:
Rep. GOHMERT: The programs that are sought to be renewed are ones we don't have information on how successful they were. I can tell you from my days as a judge, there was some anecdotal evidence that it looked like faith-based programs did a better job of dramatically reducing recidivism. In addition:
CURE (Citizens United for Rehabilitation of Errants) is a membership organization of families of prisoners, prisoners, former prisoners and other concerned citizens. CURE's two goals are
To place a moratorium on executions by the Federal Government and urge the States to do the same, while a National Commission on the Death Penalty reviews the fairness of the imposition of the death penalty .S.486 & H.R.912:
To reduce the risk that innocent persons may be executed [by examining DNA evidence more thoroughly].
Title: To provide Federal assistance to States and local jurisdictions to prosecute hate crimes.
Summary: Provide technical, forensic, prosecutorial, or other assistance in the criminal investigation or prosecution of any violent crime that is motivated by prejudice based on the race, color, religion, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, or disability of the victim or is a violation of hate crime laws.
Title: To reduce the risk that innocent persons may be executed.
National Domestic Violence Volunteer Attorney Network Act - Authorizes grants to the American Bar Association Commission on Domestic Violence to work in collaboration with the American Bar Association Committee on Pro Bono and Public Service and other organizations to create, recruit lawyers for, and provide training, mentoring, and technical assistance for a National Domestic Violence Volunteer Attorney Network.
Requires the Office on Violence Against Women of the Department of Justice to designate five states in which to implement the pilot program of a National Domestic Violence Volunteer Attorney Referral Project and distribute funds under this Act.
Directs the Government Accountability Office (GAO) to study and report to Congress on the scope and quality of legal representation and advocacy for victims of domestic violence, dating violence, and stalking, including the provision of culturally and linguistically appropriate services.
COPS Improvements Act of 2007 - Amends the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968 to make grants for public safety and community policing programs (COPS ON THE BEAT or COPS program). Revises grant purposes to provide for:
Megan's Law - Amends the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994 to require the release of relevant information to protect the public from sexually violent offenders:

The Nappanee Apple Festival in Indiana is underway and boasts an apple pie fit for a giant.
A 7-foot wide apple pie weighed-in around 600 pounds. It took volunteers more than four hours to make it.
"Who can say that you helped make the largest apple pie in the state of Indiana?" asked Mim Hartman, Chief Pie Maker. "It is exciting, and not everybody gets this opportunity. We have to make sure that we are all organized."
The pie included 100 pounds of dough, 16 bushels of apples and dozens of eggs, among other ingredients. Volunteers said the reward is seeing the surprise on everyone's face and of course eating it. The huge pie will be served up Friday morning.

---- — PLATTSBURGH — A Plattsburgh woman was charged Monday with assault and menacing following an alleged domestic dispute.
Elizabeth Jabaut, 22, was charged with second-degree assault, a felony; second-degree attempted assault, a felony; first-degree unlawful imprisonment, a felony; two counts of second-degree menacing, a misdemeanor; and two counts of fourth-degree criminal possession of a weapon, a misdemeanor.
That evening, Plattsburgh City Police responded to a residence on Couch Street in the City of Plattsburgh after a man called saying he was locked in a bedroom and a woman was threatening him with a knife, police said.
After police knocked on the door of the residence, Jabaut answered the door.
She was not cooperative with officers' orders when they attempted to search her to make sure she wasn't in possession of a weapon but they were able to handcuff her, police said.
Police located the caller in the bedroom who was hysterical and difficult to interview, police said.
The man told them the dispute was the result of several days of arguing over relationship problems between he and Jabaut.
He said she had used a serrated steak knife to jab at him, causing three cuts to his left hand, police said.
It was unknown if the man needed medical attention.
Jabaut was arraigned in Plattsburgh City Court and released on a court appearance ticket.

The house basically sounds like the life. Zesiger and his wife have a money managing firm in Manhattan, but from Thursday to Monday they sail from their island to the city and then take a train to work.
Another huge plus: Since the property is so close to the mainland, its utilities are all underwater and the house went virtually unscathed during Super Storm Sandy. A part of their floating dock ended up in the front yard, but the Zesiger's considering building a helipad on the island, so that may not be an issue for the next owner anyway.
The 3.5 acre estate boasts a 6 bedroom 4 bathroom (with 3 half bathrooms) main house. There's also a 2 bedroom caretaker's cottage, 1 bed room boathouse, a tea house, and an in-ground pool. Doug Werner of Sotheby's International Realty has the listing.

Kuks - Hospital Courtyard
The World > Europe > Czech Republic
View from the middle of baroque Hospital Kuks's courtyard. Taken in late autumn. The sky is clear, the sun is shining, the temperature is just above freezing point. It is off season, so it's nice and quiet in here. The wonderful baroque building is in sore condition nowadays, which actually adds to the magic of the place.
In the yard you can see two statues by Matthias Bernard Braun facing each other. The left one is called Small Christian Warrior and the one on the right is Hospitality. There's one more - sitting on top of the gate - and it is called Polyphemus.

The Czech Republic is a cool little landlocked country south of Germany and Poland, with a national addiction to pork and beer. Potatos, cabbage, and dumplings are close behind them, and they also have this great bar food called "utopenec." It means "a drowned man," it's pickled sausage with onions, perfect with some dark wheat bread and beer. The Czech bread is legendary, like a meal all by itself.
Czechoslovakia first became a sovereign state in 1918 when it declared independence from the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The state of Czechoslovakia lasted until the "Velvet Divorce" of 1993, which created Slovakia and the Czech Republic.
It was occupied by Germany in WWII but escaped major damage, unlike most other European cities. The nation's capital, Prague, retains some of Europe's most beautiful Baroque architecture as well as one of the largest medieval castle complexes still standing. The President of the Czech Republic has his offices in the Prague Castle even today.
There was a coup d'etat in 1948 and Czechoslovakia fell under Soviet rule. For fifty years Czechoslovakia was a Socialist state under the USSR, subject to censorship, forced atheism and even the arrest of jazz musicians!
In 1989, communist police violently squashed a pro-democracy demonstration and pissed everybody off so bad that a revolution erupted over it, finally ending the Communist rule.
The next twenty years saw rapid economic growth and westernization. Today in Prague you can eat at McDonald's or KFC, shop for snowboarding boots and go see a punk rock show.
The Czech Republic took over the presidency of the European Union in January 2009. This instantly created lots of political drama because the President of the Czech Republic, Vaclav Klaus, is a renowned Euroskeptic.
We anxiously await the outcome of "President Klaus vs. the Lisbon Treaty", a world heavywieght fight sceduled for spring 2009.

Horizons Career Counselor is available to support students in their career-related challenges as well as choice of major in reference to their future. We aim in assisting students in gaining a better understanding of what really matters for them personally, how they can plan their careers autonomously, and empowering them to make informed decisions. Referral services to the Center for Career Opportunities are also available.
Personal Counseling
Horizons has a trained counselor on staff whose responsibility is to offer one on one counseling for students with a variety of concerns from roommate conflicts, stress, mild depression, lack of motivation, and relationship issues to name a few. Horizons staff will seek out students when necessary to refer students to qualified specialists on campus when they have severe emotional distress or highly technical mental or behavioral conditions.
