COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) - An Ohio construction company will be working in Washington to help put the crumbling Capitol building dome back together.
The Columbus Dispatch reports that Smoot Construction of Columbus was one of two companies awarded the $40.8 million renovation contract for the work.
The dome has towered over the city since 1863. The contractors will paint and repair it, removing any lingering lead, rehabilitate the dome and install additional lighting.
Smoot has done restoration and construction work on Union Station and the Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History.
Smoot is working with Turner Construction Co. of New York.
The work is expected to begin after the first of the year. That means visitors to the Capitol for the next two years will see the building cloaked in scaffolding.

Keep Kids Safe
Vermont mom Brandy Brow knows about remodeling with children underfoot. After all, when you have six kids under the age of 12 and have been building and remodeling for 10 years, you become fairly skilled at handling all the complications. Brow's understanding of the importance of safety while remodeling was hard-won, however. Her 1-year-old daughter suffered lead poisoning when the family removed some French doors in their old house.
"Her levels were one point below intervention, where the state removes the family from the home to do lead abatement," Brow says. "The outside of the house was lead paint, all the doors, baseboards and windows were lead, and there was lead paint inside the cupboards."
The Brow family received priority consideration for Vermont's lead abatement program because of the severity of the child's poisoning and the amount of lead in their home. "The state's lead reduction program gives a combination grant and non-interest-bearing and half forgivable loan payable upon selling the house," Brow says.
All the time and work that the family put into taking the house from a poisoned trap to a remodeled living space was worth it. The high lead levels, which had caused irritability, appetite problems and stunted growth in their daughter, were gone. "After the lead reduction work, our kids' lead levels returned to normal, and they suffered no long-term effects," Brow says.
It Could Happen to You
While not every family who remodels must worry about lead paint, which hasn't been used in U.S. homes since 1978, there are hazards that can crop up for any family embarking upon a home remodeling project. Christopher Ashe, one of the stars of HGTV's 24-Hour Design, isn't just a carpenter. With more than a decade of experience in the building trade under his belt, Ashe knows about the dangers that families can face when remodeling. "I categorize construction hazards as one of two ways: immediate or long-term," he says. "Long-term hazards are usually materials that were once commonplace but have since been found to be dangerous. The big ones are lead paint and asbestos."
Ashe says if you're working in a home that was built before lead was removed from paint, the best way to test for lead is to have a qualified lead inspector come out to test the house. He adds that while wearing approved safety gear when working around lead paint remnants is essential, homeowners should also seal off any HVAC ducts and make sure they vacuum with a HEPA filter vacuum twice a day, minimum.
Asbestos is another hazard that was commonly used in older homes. "Many building materials made before the 1970s contain asbestos as a fire retardant," he says. It may also be in places you wouldn't necessarily suspect. Asbestos can be in pipe and furnace insulation; shingles, siding and roofing; millboard; resilient flooring; the backing on vinyl sheet flooring and floor tile adhesives; patching and joint compound; and even in soundproofing and decorative materials.
Ashe says that asbestos removal should never be a DIY project, though: "Improperly tested or removed asbestos can be a far greater danger than it is undisturbed," he says. If you suspect your home might have asbestos materials, check the EPA's Web site to make sure your contractor is in compliance with the government recommendations.
New Doesn't Always Mean Safer
Just because building materials aren't old doesn't mean they're safe. Harrison Barnes and his wife recently added a deck to their California beach home. "My wife is pregnant, and we spent around $28,000 building a giant porch overlooking the sea directly on the water," Barnes says. "We had looked forward to this remodel for years, and when the porch was complete, we were very happy. Unfortunately, another contractor pointed out to us that the person who built the porch had used pressure-treated lumber."
The lumber Barnes refers to has been treated with the preservative chromated copper arsenic, or CCA. While it extends the life of the wood by keeping other living organisms from living in it, it contains chemicals that can leech and be harmful to children and pregnant women. "We actually took the step of removing the porch and rebuilding it to protect our coming first child," Barnes says. "We learned later that the baby could have experienced all sorts of issues from the pressure-treated lumber's toxins had we not taken the action we did of removing the porch."
Industrial hygienist Chuck Whitman says that Barnes is right. "Arsenic that has leeched from treated lumber can be found at high concentrations in soil under play sets, decks and fences constructed of the treated lumber," he says, noting that concerned parents can check out the CDC Web site and search for more information on CCA-treated wood.
Ashe notes that researching materials is important to the safety of any home improvement project, and pressure-treated wood is a good example. "Most engineered wood products contain poisons, so research your materials," he says. "You can always find an eco-friendly alternative. It may cost more, but sometimes it's a small price to pay."
Curiosity Can Hurt Children
Of course, chemical hazards aren't the only problems families need to be concerned with during DIY projects. Parents should always remember that while hammers, saws and materials may not seem interesting to them, it can be a whole different story for a child. Ashe says that avoiding these types of "immediate" injuries, as he calls them, just takes some forethought, common sense and parental enforcement. "Injuries from these hazards can be easily avoided by using common sense, keeping a clean work environment, maintaining good communication, and setting – and enforcing – boundaries with your kids," he says.
While there are many potential dangers in any remodeling project, most jobs can be done safely, even with little ones underfoot. "If researched and executed thoughtfully and correctly, any job you take on can be completely safe," Ashe says. "The key to safety with any project is common sense."

Friends of Raikes Road Burial Ground appeal for information (From Craven Herald)

Friends of Raikes Road Burial Ground appeal for information
9:00am Sunday 5th January 2014 in News
The search is on for information about an historic Skipton burial ground.
As part of a Heritage Lottery funded restoration project at the Raikes Road site, the friends group is trying to piece together its full history.
The Friends of Raikes Road Burial Ground would like to get details of everyone buried at the site and is also looking for any documents, photographs, memories or anecdotes for when the burial ground was in use from 1846 to 1876.
Jean Robinson, chairman of the friends group, said: "The story behind each of the people buried in the graveyard is part of the overall story of Skipton itself through a key phase of its economic and social history.
"Finding out whatever we can is a really important part of our project, so we'd be really grateful if people could have a rummage through their attics and old photo collections."
Restoration of the burial ground is being funded through a £9,000 grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund together with contributions from Skipton Town Council and Craven District Council. Group members have also been carrying out fundraising.
Once the work is completed, it is the intention to re-open the grounds to the public and to provide seating and interpretation boards, protecting the area for future generations.
Anyone with any information, or interested in joining the friends group, can contact Skipton Town Council on 01756 794357 or email firstname.lastname@example.com. People can also visit the town council offices, above Barclays Bank, High Street, Skipton.

Laundress-Laundry Prices
Did You Know?
Politics made strange bedfellows. John Little, a proslavery man, was shot to death at his father's store, by free state men who raided Fort Scott in December 1858. A friend, George Crawford, a free state man, was staying with Little that night. Crawford had once been the target of proslavery men.

Ben Watson will play in Sunday's game between the Cleveland Browns and the Philadelphia Eagles, Albert Breer of NFL.com reports. Watson is listed as questionable after sitting out preseason with a leg injury. The tight end returned to practice earlier this week. There has been no indication yet just how, exactly, he will be deployed by the Browns.
Analysis: The Browns have been cautious with Watson throughout the preseason. The team went so far as to call him the undisputed starter, indicating that they believe he will be a pivotal part of the offense going forward. With so little practice time, he is a really risky as a fantasy option this week, however. Roll with him if you have to, just understand the risk. Rookie Jordan Cameron is the Browns' No. 2 tight end, but doesn't have any fantasy value at this point.
For more on the Browns, head over to Dawgs By Nature and SB Nation Cleveland. For more fantasy info, check out the SB Nation Fantasy War Room 4-8pm ET Monday through Friday and 8am to 1pm on Sunday. Check out SB Nation's own Fantasy Football game, Pick 6!

Is it just me . . .?
A lot of times we see or hear things and wonder whether we're the only ones who get the peculiarity or irony in what has revealed itself.
Is it just me, or has Ubuntu 7.10 made a significant number of people hit a proverbial "speed bump" in this latest upgrade? The reason I ask — my "upgrade" resulted in getting only a shell that I had never seen before, and as a result I had to revert to reinstalling the prior version of Xubuntu running on this machine — is because others who had done the upgrade had significant problems with their machines shortly afterward (many of whom, of course, righted their machines after a significant amount of adjustments, but is that how upgrades are supposed to work?). Don't get me wrong: I like all the flavors of Ubuntu, even Kubuntu, but rather than drinking the Kool-Aid, you have to bring this stuff up when it happens for the good of the distro.
Is it just me, or do the these two people deserve more credit than they're often given: Pamela Jones of Groklaw, and Ken Starks of HeliOS Solutions (also the blogger known as "helios")? The former has earned my unwavering respect for doing what those in the both the legal and journalistic professions, by and large, have stopped doing; i.e., stopped doing the right thing in their professions. The latter — who as I've blogged in the past I have joined in a business venture — is tireless fighter for FOSS in the face of health issues that would floor the strongest of us.
Is it me, or is blogging, as I perceive it, harder than it looks?

A lesson in dealing with the devil
Lindows — I'm sorry, it's Linspire — sold its soul recently to have Microsoft help them "build a better Linux" (waiting for laughter to die down). Here's a list of what they got:
True Type fonts.
Windows Media 10 Player.
DVD Playback.
Patent (ahem) "coverage," which many people might consider extorted "protection" money, but I digress.
That's it.
This deal is worse than the Novell deal, says Pamela Jones at Groklaw, and outlines Linspire's soul-selling-for-mere-pittance, line by line (almost), here. Being the journalist and legal eagle that she is (although she warns that you should consult a real attorney if the agreement affects you in real time), Jones goes to great lengths to show what a dog this deal is and displays, just as she has been tireless in the SCO case, just why it sucks to be Linspire these days.
At the end of her lengthy tome, she makes the following poignant observation which, going forward, should be at the forefront of the GNU/Linux discussion: "For myself, I think it's time to think really seriously about who should be allowed to use the name Linux, before the trademark loses all its traditional meaning."
Also, I can't help wondering how long it will take the people at Linspire to grab pitchforks and torches and race through the streets of Lindowsland looking for Kevin Carmony in order to give him a good tar-and-feathering.

New York Rangers forward Sean Avery was arrested at his home in Hollywood early Friday morning after an alleged confrontation with police, who had been called to the residence after several noise complaints were made. Via the first report on the incident from TMZ:
According to law enforcement sources, a neighbor called police to complain about the noise coming from Avery's home. When police arrived at about 1:00 AM, we're told Avery answered the door ... then shoved a cop and slammed the door behind him.
Police then knocked again, and we're told the New York Rangers star came to his senses and opened up. According to law enforcement ... Avery was extremely cooperative after that, but was still booked for battery on a peace officer.
So basically, Avery was having a party, and when the authorities came to ask him to cool it down a bit, he treated them more like an NHL referee sending him to the box for tripping and less like an actual enforcer of the real law.
Of course, Avery is one of the most polarizing men in the game today. There's no beating around the bush here, even if you're a Rangers fan: Avery is a jerk on the ice. Effective, perhaps, but a jerk.
Off the ice he actually seems like a mild mannered (if eccentric) personality, and he's polarized opinion about him even further by taking a strong stand in favor of gay rights. Despite what you think of him at the hockey rink, this actually seems like something that you'd expect from somebody other than Avery off of it.
Battery against a police officer is a serious charge, and Avery will have to face the music here one way or another, whether it be through the legal system or the media. Or both. He's reportedly at the Hollywood jail Friday morning on $20,000 bail.
For more on Avery and the Rangers, check in with SB Nation's Blueshirt Banter.

We're looking for a new home
8:20pm Tuesday 19th February 2013 in News
TWO community organisations are to move out after public access to their building was restricted for safety reasons.
Last October, Malvern Hills District Council closed the upper floor of the Grange, Grange Road, Malvern, following a fire risk assessment.
The closure forced the Citizens Advice Bureau and Age UK, both based at the Grange, to share premises in cramped conditions. Now the bureau is looking for new premises and is asking for help from the public in finding them, while Age UK is set to move into Great Malvern railway station.
CAB chief officer Les Kinmond said: "Given the uncertain future, in order to guarantee uninterrupted services to clients, it seems sensible to look for alternative accommodation. The CAB needs about 1,500 square feet of office space to meet current client demands and so we are appealing to any organisation or member of the public who may know of any suitable premises to get in touch. We believe appropriate locations to be Great Malvern town centre, Malvern Link or Barnards Green. The CAB is very well supported by the council, but we are a charity, and so any commercial premises need to be affordable.'' George Waugh of Age UK said: "It would cost us just as much to move into new premises temporarily as permanently so we decided to find somewhere else. We found the premises at the station and we're going through the process of signing the lease." He said if all goes well, the organisation will relocate in March.

Motörhead Biography - Motörhead Discography - All Heavy Metal Bands
Import digipak edition with new booklet. Originally released in 1994, the classic Suicidal For Life contains the hit 'Love Vs. Loneliness', By the time of this album's release, mainman Mike Muir, alias Cyco Miko, was yearning for the freedom of the indie life once more, and determined that this would be their major-label swansong. And 'Suicidal For Life' turned out to be one **** of a farewell, not least because the song titles were deliberately peppered with profanities. But Suicidal Tendencies were nothing if not uncompromising. SPV Blue.

I am not a long time Motorhead fan but I am a fan of righteous hard rock from way back. Lemmy and company have been sneaking up on me for the last several years and I finally made the plunge and bought this Best Of.
Killed By Death, Ace of Spades, Dead Men Tell No Tales and the rest are undeniable. These guys are mining the rock and roll mainline, I salute you.
Have to dock it one star because there are essential tracks not included here but all and all, I am well pleased.
I have to say that this is a very well put together compilation of the bands many classic hits.Fans of this great band will not be disappointed at this release because most of all their great songs are found here.METAL RULES!!!
Without Motorhead, there would be no Metallica, Slayer or Testament. It's pretty obvious. Motorhead laid down the rules for the thrash metal movement that would engulf metal music in the early to mid 80's. Their music is very fast, very brash punk/metal. I enjoy this band's approach greatly. This compilation is a good one of early Motorhead. There is only one con: only one song from Ace Of Spades is featured, the title track. Since Ace Of Spades was the band's most famous work, they should have put at least three songs from it on here. But that is the only con. This is a great beginning to one of metal's most influential bands. I f you are interested in hearing very early thrash metal, this would be a perfect choice.
There is an EXCELLENT selection of tracks from Motorhead's early albums on this CD. I was especially pleased that "Stay Clean" is included, (it is omitted from the 40-track Best of Motorhead released in 2002).If you want an economical way to collect Motorhead's best material, then this is the way to go. You will not be disappointed by what you find here!

The cabin was nice and roomy. I just wish the windows had been larger like those on the Sky. Our cabin steward was exceptional.
The two most outstanding memories aboard the ship were listening to the talented pianist and being able to enjoy the wonderful dining experiences offered by the remarkable chef. Both of those men are treasures.
This was the second time I had traveled to Vienna, and I was able to see it from an entirely different perspective being on a river cruise. My biggest regret is that I did not choose to attend the evening concert while in Vienna. Very few of us were left aboard the ship. My husband and I had thought about signing up for that excursion so many times, but in the end decided not to do so. When we heard such outstanding reviews from those who attended, we were very disappointed that we had not gone. Anyone who takes this cruise should definitely attend the concert in Vienna.
This was only my second river cruise, and we have booked another one for later this year. I must say that I'm hooked! The atmosphere aboard the smaller river cruises is far superior to that of the huge ocean cruise ships. It's a delightful experience getting to know the staff, and Viking Cruises hires extremely professional and personable staff members. Here's hoping that I get to enjoy many more relaxing vacations with Viking.

If you plan on eating out New Year's Eve, then you'll want to make dinner reservations this weekend. Many metro-Atlanta restaurants are already booked.
If you still can't get into your favorite spot, Steak Shapiro, host of "Atlanta Eats", offered this tip. "I'll sit at the bar, grab a glass of wine and I'll order a massive order to-go."
Shapiro said his favorite take-out spots include the Buford Highway Farmers Market, the East 48th Street Deli, Alon's Bakery and Café Intermezzo.
If you have your heart set on dining out, then Shapiro advised choosing a restaurant outside of the Perimeter in order to avoid the crowds. His picks included Stoney River, Seed Kitchen and Bar, and Muss and Turners.

Following on from 2008's critically acclaimed Stop, Space, Return, Crazy P return for their fifth studio album When We On, released 12th September through 2020 Vision Internationally and Om imprint, Smoke N' Mirrors for North America.
Alongside the wealth of brilliant remixes they have served up recently, When We On shows how far Crazy P have come since 2008. Whether it's the anthemic 'Beatbox', with its freeform acapella work, grinding Prince—style guitar and haunting strings, the reflective 'Eruption', driven on by a rave piano figure and lead singer Danielle Moore's plaintive cry of "Let me be the one you run to" or, at the other end of the scale, the Detroit techno-esque 'Sonar', with its increasingly frenetic payoff, this is an album packed full of potential singles. They might be crazy, but they sure know where the tunes are located.
The first single, "Open For Service" is out now. Click Here to pick it up from iTunes.
The album drops in North America on September 27th.
Crazy P – When We On by Smoke N´Mirrors
Following on from 2008's critically acclaimed Stop, Space, Return, Crazy P return for their fifth studio album When We On, released 27th September through Smoke N' Mirrors for North America.
Alongside the wealth of brilliant remixes they have served up recently, When We On shows how far Crazy P have come since 2008. Whether it's the anthemic 'Beatbox', with its freeform acapella work, grinding Prince—style guitar and haunting strings, the reflective 'Eruption', driven on by a rave piano figure and lead singer Danielle Moore's plaintive cry of "Let me be the one you run to" or, at the other end of the scale, the Detroit techno-esque 'Sonar', with its increasingly frenetic payoff, this is an album packed full of potential singles. They might be crazy, but they sure know where the tunes are located.
"With Stop Space Return we wrote the majority of that as a band," explains Jim Baron. "For this, we decided to strip it back to me and Toddy (Chris Todd. Guitar/Keys) writing with Danielle. We gave Danielle the Loop Station and she's really taken to it. You can layer vocals, you can hear harmonies immediately, so she can jam along with us now. It shaped a lot of the vocal sound for the album. There's a tune called 'We Can Only Be Who Are' which has big vocal layering, and there's a lot of that. It's probably a bit more… grown-up."
Chris expands on the theme: "We had quite a big year last year for lots of different reasons and we had difficulties too and I think a lot of the writing came out of that. It's a little bit more reflective and thoughtful than previous albums."
For Danielle, it's been a revelation in the way they work. "It was back to basics," she says. "I'd have a go on the keyboards using two fingers or I'd have a go on the drum machine. It was like being at school or in a huge sandpit where you've been given loads of buckets to muck about with. We had a loop station as well which I've always been nervous of and this time it was like right let me have a go of this and it allowed me to record my vocals."
For Danielle, the album narrative is the camaraderie between its protagonists. "Their friendship came through in creating this album. The way we worked created a lot of intimacy between us and a definite warmth to the album."
Despite the suggestions of melancholy from the band, and they certainly know how to emote when the moment's right, they haven't forgotten how to party. "We're open for service, we're open for love," sings Danielle. Crazy, but true.

It is so beloved, the rabbis predicted that Purim will be observed even in the messianic days, when almost all other Jewish holidays will be abolished.
Check out our Purim events here
The story of Purim is told in the Scroll of Esther, known as Megillat Esther. It is a tale of glamorous banquets, political intrigue and high drama resulting in the Jews overturning a death decree issued against them.
Haman, an advisor to King Ahasverus of Persia, convinced the king to issue a decree that all Jews residing in the city of Shushan be killed. Haman then drew lots, determining that the decree would be carried out on the 13th day of the month of Adar (the word Purim comes from pur, the Hebrew word meaning "lots"). Haman's desire for the decree was rooted in his hatred for Mordechai, a pious Jew who refused to bow down to him. Haman saw Mordechai's actions as a lack of respect for the king, and an indication of the prevailing attitude of the Jews toward the kingdom. In reality, Mordechai was a loyal citizen who had demonstrated his allegiance by foiling a plot to assassinate the king.
Meanwhile, Esther, the young cousin of Mordechai, was chosen in a beauty contest to be the next queen, after Queen Vashti was banished for disobeying King Ahasverus. Esther never revealed her Jewish identity to him, as Mordechai had warned her that it must remain a secret.
When Mordechai was alerted to the death decree and the imminent danger facing the Jewish community, he begged Esther to intercede on behalf of her people and convince the king to rescind the decree. Esther was afraid, but knew that only she could save her people. She then concocted a clever scheme: she invited Haman and King Ahasverus to an elaborate banquet, during which she revealed that she was Jewish and feared for her life because of the decree Haman instigated. The king was outraged that his beloved Esther's life was in danger. He then remembered that it was Mordechai, a Jew, who had saved him from assassination in the past. At that point, the tables turned on Haman, and his plan to hang Mordechai and kill the Jews came back against him. The king ordered his soldiers to hang Haman from the same tree originally planned for Mordechai's demise, rewarded Mordechai with Haman's job and instituted Purim as a holiday throughout the Jewish community.
Many people fast on the 13th day of Adar to commemorate the fact that Esther asked the Jews to fast and pray so that she would succeed in saving their lives.
The story of Purim is recounted in Megillat Esther. This handwritten scroll is read after sundown on the 13th day of Adar, and again on the next morning. The story of the triumph of the Jews over their enemies was recounted in scrolls dispatched throughout Persia. Therefore, it is customary to fold the megillah up like a letter as it is being read. The megillah is of rabbinic origin and is not part of the Torah.
Purim is the one time that everyone can make as much noise as they want in the synagogue—but only when the name "Haman" is read aloud. People use groggers (noisemakers), stamp their feet and clap or yell to drown out the name of the evil Haman.
Everyone, including women, is commanded to hear the megillah. One should listen carefully to the recited blessings before the actual reading and answer "amen" to fulfill the mitzvah of hearing the megillah.
One of the most enjoyable mitzvot associated with Purim is sending gifts of food to friends and family. The mishloach manot package should contain at least two different types of food, one of which should be cooked. Usually included are hamantaschen, which are triangle-shaped pastries with prune, poppy seed or other filling. They symbolize the tri-cornered hat Haman was said to have worn. To fulfill the minimum of this mitzvah, one should send two ready-to-eat items to at least one person. It is customary for children dressed in costumes to deliver the mishloach manot.
One of the most important mitzvot of Purim is giving gifts to the poor. Charity is a cornerstone of Jewish tradition, but it is particularly important during holidays to ensure that everyone can celebrate and observe the holiday. You must give at least one gift of charity to two different people in order to fulfill the mitzvah of matanot le'evyonim.
It is written in Megillat Esther that "They were to observe them as days of feasting and gladness, as a time for sending gifts to one another and presents to the poor." (9:22) Purim comes to an end with a festive meal (seudah) late in the day. There are no specific rituals; it is just a time for family and friends to get together and enjoy a meal.
Wine has always played an important role in sanctifying Jewish holidays and the Sabbath, but on Purim it has a different meaning. It is written in the Talmud, "It is the obligation of each person to be so drunk [on Purim] as to not to be able to tell the difference between blessed be Mordechai and cursed be Haman." Some rabbis explain that one shouldn't get drunk, but rather drink a little more than usual to enjoy the holiday. Purim is also a time for carnivals and masquerades. In Israel, a costume parade (the adloyada) takes place yearly.
There are timeless lessons for us all through Megillat Esther. One is the active role Esther takes in saving her community. She could have kept her identity as a Jew a secret, and would not have jeopardized her life nor faced danger. But Esther knew she had a responsibility, both to herself and to her people, and she had to do everything possible to save them. Esther used her ingenuity and her power as queen to save her people.
The story of Purim is an example of the obstacles and life-threatening experiences Jews have faced in the diaspora. Mordechai exemplifies how Jews in the diaspora can adhere to their religious convictions while still remaining loyal to the local laws and customs of their governing countries.
The story of Purim illustrates that things do not always appear on the surface as they really are. Thus, Haman's loyalty to King Ahasverus is a ploy to try to attain more power for himself. Esther, at first seemingly powerless as she is forced to become queen, exhibits tremendous strength and wisdom to save her people.
Nowhere in the megillah is God's name written. But if one looks closely at the story, perhaps the omission of God's name is consistent with the theme of things not always appearing as they really are.
One discovers many incidents that set the stage for the Jews to be saved. Mordechai "happens" to overhear two people discussing a plot to kill the king, Esther "happens" to be chosen out of thousands to be queen and Haman picks Mordechai as the object of his anger. Are all of these coincidences? Or could it be that despite the absence of God's name in the megillah, there is actually a divine presence interceding and arranging the circumstances by which Mordechai and Esther save the Jews?

Big, bright room-filling sound from a box that's smaller than a breadbox.
I love my Bose SoundLink, so when I saw this Marshall Stanmore at the Apple Store it was indeed an impulse buy. But once I brought I love my Bose SoundLink, so when I saw this Marshall Stanmore at the Apple Store it was indeed an impulse buy. But once I brought the unit home, I was so glad I caved-in to my impulse. The Stanmore sounds so much better at home than in the store.
The Stanmore paired easily with my iPad and iPhone (5). Never in the evening did I experience a drop in Bluetooth reception.
The unit does not have an internal battery, so that helps to define its use. It's powered by standard household current with an internal power supply; no external transformer cords to mess with. I love the volume and tone control knobs on the top, as I often like to tweak the sound quality. I know I can go into my Apple iOS settings, but adjusting the knobs is so easy and immediate (and retro).
We have nice in-wall speakers, but this little box filled the entire room with rich sound. Last night was mostly acoustic Diana Krall; at no time did I feel the Marshall was a compromise to my component system with this musical genre. I tried my classic test: Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers' "Moanin' "; oh my god, I could just feel the spittle from the sax mouthpiece flying across the room. The clarity and response makes this little Marshall black box paired with my iPhone my new favorite sound system.
True confessions - I did test a classic pedal bass response from Tracy Chapman's "Mountain O' Things", and that's where the Marshall can't resolve the ultra bass response like my component sub-woofer; I didn't expect it to. The bass it did render though was rich and deep; you could feel the air puffing out the back woofer port. Like the SoundLink, I got better sound when I let the music bounce off the back wall.
I still like my Bose SoundLink for it's portability and big power from a little box, but I've found my new front-porch, back-deck and man-cave musical companion with the Marshall Stanmore.
And oh, it looks cool too; nothing cheap about the look and feel here. …

Big & nice sound, great connectivity, with tone controls!

At lower volumes, the tonal balance is great for background listening. Great bass for the size, and for the rest of the range, mid's & hi's can be tailored with the treble and bass tone controls (which is rare for a Bluetooth speaker). The connectivity is also rare, with optical input, and both RCA and mini jack. The only caveats are for the size and power, it cannot be battery powered, it doesn't have a microphone for speakerphone, and doesn't have Bluetooth multi pairing. Pairing is so quick and easy, and it's size isn't ideal for speakerphone or battery powered portability anyways. Good drivers and dense cabinet makes this a decent weight speaker with solid controls—this speaker is well-built, and should last. I always look forward to using this speaker as a one-piece room-filling speaker, and is an ideal fit for home or office. …

Not something you want to cart around (a bit heavy/no battery) Natural sound. Nothing I've tried compares. Solid wood with faux-leather wrapped case, retro switches. Very sweet! Simple to use. In my opinion, sounds better at louder volume (I've sampled with well know old songs I know every nuance , etc. to Classical, Jazz, Country, Pop) All come through with very good sound. Remember this is not a $4000. speaker! It's $400. and worth it. Will easily rock the house, but really made to be listened to in one room (not a home sound-system) bedroom, office or huge vaulted ceiling living space. All good. Yeah, you can hear it in other rooms (and the outside walls will tremble) but you won't get full listening experience without being within 30 meter or so (range of Bluetooth). Pairs (in order) to 6 different devices (sweet) via Bluetooth. Dual connectors if you want to plug directly into an old-fashioned turntable (cool), Direct access cable if you don't want to use BT. Also can use with Airplay (so why even bother with BT?). Buy an aux cable and your set for TV, etc. My only major complaint (after only a few days of use) seems to automatically pair with last device and does NOT seem to continue looking for next device (if 1st is off), so I end up re-pairing. Bummer. I should probably research a bit more before making a judgment on this. I may be doing something wrong. Next complaint; such detail! beautiful box! Nice Design! Why the cheap plastic "Marshall" plate on front. Looks good but, come on, how much more could a metal plate have cost? This quality component deserves a "real" badge. I'd give 5 Stars except for my earlier comments and maybe I'm spoiled. Really beautiful and easy to move from room to room if I need to. Perhaps I need one for ech room. That'd be cool. …

WASTE WATCHWorkforce WV
from Eyewitness News Online
W.Va. Commerce Secretary Answers Questions About Expenses And Being Accountable
February 27, 2013
For more than two years, Claudia George oversaw Workforce West Virginia field offices all over the state. She was essentially doing the work of two people. And in the process, she collected more than 70-thousand dollars in food, transportation and lodging expenses.
West Virginia Secretary of Commerce Keith Burdette says George earned every penny.
"We allowed her to fill two jobs, in effect, for almost two years, saving us a lot of money," Burdette said. "She saved us $60,000 plus in salary and didn't give her a raise to do it because we kept thinking we were going to add more people. We would add a second person."
Previously, a department spokesperson had outlined why George's expenses weren't out of line. However, George worked in the position on a temporary basis for more than two years before being given the post permanently. If that decision had been made earlier her salary would have gone up but her expenses would have gone down.
"If there is any hindsight on this, it is that we probably should have promoted her for her work," Burdette said. "It probably wouldn't have changed her travel too much but we should have recognized what she was doing for us."
Stories involving government spending are about much more than just some numbers on a page. It's about why that decision was made and whether it was the best use of resources. We wanted to talk with Workforce West Virginia Director Russell Fry about this situation but he refused. So that's why we went up the food chain. It's not about bullying, intimidation, being rude or disrespectful. It's about asking legitimate questions concerning government spending. After all, it's your money.
"Claudia should have been advanced and that situation clarified," Burdette said. "But under any condition she was still saving the state of West Virginia money. I think that's all it is. I choose to believe that. I've talked to Russ numerous times, he's always forthcoming. But he's also a gentleman that takes this very personally, his work, and I think, how can I say it? You make him nervous."
Burdette says both Fry and George are assets to the state and should be commended for their efforts.
"Over the course of the last three years the director has been under a lot of pressure to make cuts," Burdette said. "He's cut almost a million four out of his personnel line. He's cut 25 percent out of his travel line. And in this particular case he was trying to better manage scarce resources."
Burdette says his department will look more closely at personnel decisions to see if additional hirings, transfers or promotions can make it more efficient and cost-effective.

TOLEDO, OH (WTOL) – The city of Toledo is not giving up efforts to revive a downtown building listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Although the city recently had a setback in the redevelopment plans for the Berdan Building.
A Cleveland developer recently put that plan on hold due to uncertainty about a $10 million federal loan through the city. However, a member of the Toledo City Council said he is pushing to get that plan back on track.
This is a $22 million redevelopment plan to convert the former King Warehouse into an apartment complex with 120 units. However, because roughly half of the funding was supposed to be coming from a HUD Section 108 Loan, Councilman Rob Ludeman said the city must now try to seek out new potential revenue streams.
Ludeman believes the Cleveland developer has not totally given up on this plan, because it is a vital part of fueling further commercial development in the downtown area.
"I've talked to John Carney a couple of times about this project. If there was an alternative funding mechanism available they still would proceed from what he told me," explained Ludeman. "This is really the lynch pin in keeping all that together because it would house an awful lot of people who would frequent these establishments."
Ludeman said it is possible the city could try to take temporary possession of the Berdan Building. The issue will be discussed during council's Economic Development Committee meeting, Wednesday at 2 p.m.

Funding opportunities
Training Program in Stem Cell Biology – a Multidisciplinary Approach at [REDACTED]
Funding Type:
Research Training II
Grant Number:
Funds requested:
$1 898 813
Funding Recommendations:
Not recommended
Grant approved:
Public Abstract:
Our program's primary objective is to train and prepare pre- and post-doctoral fellows to become excellent scientists and leaders in stem cell research that are able to integrate multiple approaches from different disciplines in this emerging field. A secondary goal is to recruit and educate a diverse work force in stem cell biology to ensure that under-represented minorities and women in California will participate fully in this segment of the biomedical enterprise. We are the largest academic and research institution serving the state's [REDACTED]; as a designated a Hispanic Serving Institution, we have an excellent record of recruiting, training and graduating minority students and women. Our new medical school begins faculty recruitment in 2009; as the first new medical school in the nation in this century, we plan to integrate stem cell biology into the medical school curriculum. This Level II application requests funding for 6 pre-doctoral and 4 post-doctoral CIRM Scholars per year. Our program consists of intramural coursework and activities enriched by extramural partnerships with neighboring academic and biotech institutions. Training begins with three graduate core courses, required of all CIRM Scholars, in Stem Cell Biology and Disease, Stem Cell Biology-Technology and Applications, and Bioethics of Stem Cell Biology. Scholars can select other courses including a wet-lab in Human Embryonic Stem Cell Culture (also open to CIRM Bridges students), taught in our newly constructed, CIRM-funded Shared Stem Cell Core Facility, a course in Advanced Topics in Stem Cell Biology, and an upper division course in Human Embryology. CIRM Scholars will participate in joint lab meetings with members from all of our stem cell labs and in seminars given by invited speakers from other institutions. A special feature of our program is that it is designed to foster a high degree of interaction among life scientists and engineers. Faculty from the life sciences, chemistry and engineering will be teaching the required course in Stem Cell Biology-Technology and Applications. CIRM Scholars will have the opportunity to be embedded in both life science and engineering labs, training them at an early stage for future interdisciplinary collaborations. Thus, CIRM Scholars will be able to conduct research on a range of stem cell projects including basic studies on signal transduction, differentiation, regeneration and disease to problems in translation including bulk production of cells, biosensors, and monitoring of environmental toxicants. Our program is enhanced by extramural opportunities including 3 month-long internships at local biotech companies and presentations at national and international stem cell meetings. With participating faculty from 12 graduate programs in four colleges at our institution, we have formed a well-integrated, interdisciplinary group of stem cell researchers, many of whom have won awards for outstanding research and teaching.
Statement of Benefit to California:
The passage of Proposition 71 by the citizens of California clearly demonstrated the importance of stem cell research to our state. In order to develop stem cell-based therapies, it is essential to train a new workforce of scientists to address basic and translational questions regarding stem cell biology. Our proposed training program will benefit the people and the state of California by providing high-quality scientific and ethical training in stem-cell research to PhD graduate students and postdoctoral fellows who upon completing our program as CIRM Scholars will be well prepared to develop careers in this rapidly emerging field. Our CIRM Scholars will be trained in an integrated program that bridges the life sciences and engineering and will be especially well suited to participate in interdisciplinary projects and contribute to the leadership and workforce in the field of stem cell biology and its translation to stem cell-based therapies. Because CIRM Scholars in our program will be exposed to basic science, technology, and applications of stem cell biology, our trainees will be highly qualified to address basic research questions and transform such information into clinical applications that will aid in the treatment of disease. Training in our program will prepare CIRM Scholars to fill diverse positions in academia, industry and government in the state of California. Our university, which is located in one of the most ethnically diverse and fastest growing regions of California, has a history of making strong contributions to our local citizens by training under represented minorities and women. One goal of our CIRM training program is to continue this tradition, and through courses, research, and enrichment activities, we will be able to open career opportunities for minorities and women in this important emerging area of the biomedical enterprise. Our program also offers outreach activities to other campuses, biotech companies, and local community groups that will provide additional value to the citizens at all levels in our area. In addition, by interfacing our program with our new medical school that will begin recruiting faculty in 2009, we will be in a position to bring unique enrichment and training opportunities to our CIRM Scholars and facilitate development of projects dealing with stem cell-based therapies a within the newest medical school in California.
Review Summary:
This application proposes a Type II training program that would offer 6 predoctoral and 4 postdoctoral slots per year. All trainees are expected to take the required courses in Stem Cell Biology and Disease and Bioethics of Stem Cell Biology, in addition to other courses in stem cell biology-- Technology and Applications, Seminars in Stem Cell Biology, and a joint lab meeting in Stem Cell Biology. Trainees can choose to take optional courses including a one-week training course in human embryonic stem cells in the CIRM Shared Facility, and a human embryology course. An annual workshop with a neighboring institution that includes speakers and poster sessions is also part of the training program. The training also includes a 3-month internship at a local biotechnology company. The proposed training program was regarded as a good opportunity for trainees to engage in high quality research relevant to stem cell biology. The proposed coursework appears reasonable, and the instructors are highly regarded as educators especially at the undergraduate level. However, the reviewers felt that the description of course work was minimal and lacking detail. Reviewers were interested in better understanding how the applicants would integrate training with existing teaching programs and this was not adequately addressed. A reviewer specifically noted that the curriculum does not leverage the potential for interdisciplinary training or interactions. The reviewer considered the absence of an integrated curriculum that includes designed opportunities to bring together diverse disciplines a serious flaw in the proposal. The size of the applicant pool of graduate students and postdoctoral fellows who would be eligible for this program was also not made clear to reviewers. The Program Director was noted to have a good record of training students and teaching. The director's research, education, and administrative experience make him/her well qualified to direct the proposed program. The director's record of external funding is not particularly strong, however, raising some concerns about sustainability of the planned programmatic efforts. The program also proposes an Associate Director who is a recently hired stem cell biologist. The advisory committee consists of well-qualified scientists who are participants in the program. Thus, the committee composition does not afford the necessary external, unbiased voice that would be optimal in an advisory committee to provide feedback on the program. The faculty mentors have solid records of training undergraduate and graduate students, as well as postdoctoral fellows. They have uniformly excellent publication records, as well as good track records in obtaining external funding to support their research programs. There are 12 mentors already involved in stem cell research with a range of expertise from oogenesis to small organic molecules to toxicology to bioengineering of scaffolds. Two of these are from neighboring institutions. An additional 9 mentors are described as entering stem cell research. However, reviewers noted that most of the mentors are engaged in research that is peripherally related to stem cell research and most appear to be new to the discipline. Therefore, reviewers felt that the program offered relatively little breadth or depth in stem cell research. Reviewers also felt that there are relatively few examples of successful training programs currently at the applicant institution that target predoctoral and postdoctoral trainees, as many are geared to undergraduate students. A program in chemical genomics is one example provided in the proposal narrative that has been quite successful in developing interdisciplinary courses and research projects among the participants. Reviewers highlighted that the institution serves a large Hispanic population, and thus the potential for increasing access to stem cell biology to a diverse population is strong. Reviewers would have liked to see more detailed data on the demography of the participants in any of the graduate programs, but were confident that the institution would be successful in recruiting under-represented graduate students and postdoctoral fellows to this program. The institution appears committed to fostering stem cell research on their campus. In addition to the new stem cell core facility, two hires in stem cell biology were recently made and there is some indication that hiring for a new medical school may include a significant number of stem cell researchers. Overall, the proposed program has great potential to increase the participation of under-represented minority students, particularly Hispanic students, in stem cell research. The current proposal represents an adequate training plan, but is limited by the lack of depth and breadth in stem cell biology. In addition, the potential for interdisciplinary training is not well developed.

Preventing Tooth Decay in Young Children
Preventing Tooth Decay in Young Children
Tooth decay, called dental caries, is caused by bacteria eating away the outer protective layer (enamel) of a tooth. Help prevent tooth decay in young children by adopting the following healthy habits:
Normal amounts of fluoride added to public water supplies and bottled water are safe for children and adults. If your child needs extra fluoride, your dentist may recommend supplements. Use these supplements only as directed. And keep them out of reach of your child. Too much fluoride can be toxic and can stain a child's teeth.
When your child's first teeth come in, start cleaning them with a soft cloth or gauze pad. As more teeth come in, clean teeth with a soft toothbrush. Because too much fluoride can be toxic and can stain a child's teeth, ask your doctor or dentist if it's okay to use fluoride toothpaste. For more information, see the topic Brushing and Flossing a Child's Teeth.
