My name is Yavuz Basturk, i am software developer at Turkey.
I have a patent of idea which is alternative to rockets to carry kargo to the orbit.
It is more advantageous compared to classical rocket ships from the
point of view of cost and security.
Detailed three A4 description can be found on http://www.yablam.org/sum_eng.htm
Yavuz BASTURK
i paste description of system from web page
Yablam is a new method which was developed for carrying utility cargo to the orbit in a safe way with a little cost. It is more advantageous compared to classical rocket ships from the point of view of cost and security. Yablam stands for Yavuz Baştürk Launch Method.
Yablam, is composed of lengthening a hose to 185 km above the surface, carrying weight of the hose by sharing by intermediate stations and rising the utility cargo via the hose in lift cabins. System, briefly, aims to launch rocket ships, which carries cargo, in a horizontal way, not in a vertical way, to the space from a launcher which was made 185 kilometers above. Therefore there will not be the air friction problem, it can be reached to orbit speed with a very little fuel.
Elements of the system
· Fuel Hose
Rocket ships do not storage the whole of the fuel ,which will be consumed, in their own structure. Fuel continuously pumped to all of the rocket ships in the system from the tanks on the surface by pumps which run by electrical energy. The fuel hose will probably be produced from Carbon-Epoxy material which has got optimum values and is available easily and the cheapest material in the market. There are alternatives such as Kevlar/dyneema rope. Another function of the fuel hose is that it is also the lift rope. Lift cabins will rise up on the hose by electrical energy.
· Type of the fuel
It will be used hydrogen/oxygen as fuel. H-O can be stored tanks on the surface in huge quantities and pumped in liquid or gas form by the hose. For making the system more secure and making the hose lighter and more simple , there is also the alternative of pumping water only. Water appropriate to electrolyses (for example salty sea water) is stored in big pools on the earth. Electrolyses equipment in the stations simultaneously decomposes water into hydrogen and oxygen by using the high voltage line which exists along the hose and supplies to the rocket ships.
· Electrolyses equipment in the stations
If liquid water is preferred as fuel, Electrolyses equipment in the stations simultaneously decomposes water into hydrogen and oxygen and supplies to the rocket ships. Decomposing water in the stations by methods, which are out of electrolyses, is also a research matter.
· High voltage line
There is also a high voltage line on the 185 km hose in a vertical way. Fuel pumps, which exist on the earth and in the every intermediate station, will run by this electrical energy. Lift cabins, which will rise up, will also rise up by this electrical energy. If the type of fuel is preferred as water, electrolyses equipment which exists in intermediate stations will decomposes water into hydrogen and oxygen by real-time electrolyses by this electrical energy and transfers to rocket ship as fuel. Other electronic equipment on the hose and in the stations will also provide their power from this line. Electrical energy can be produced by any kind of method on the earth. Fuel oil generators, mini nuclear power stations or city electrical network can be used.
· Intermediate stations
It is difficult for the 185 km hose to carry its own weight and intermediate pumps by the materials which are in use today. Therefore weight of the hose will be carried by fixed stations which are on every 10 km. station can be imagined as a metallic disk at a diameter of 20-30 meters. The fuel hose passes through center of the disk and station is fixed on the hose. There are rocket ship, pump and electrolyses equipment in every station. Rocket ship in every station will be designed as that it can carry station equipment and the 10 km rope below and lift cabin in addition. It will be understood by the estimations which every kilometer the stations will be fixed on the hose. 10 km is an example value.
· Pump on the stations
It is impossible to raise the fuel 185 km up by just one pump. Therefore there is a pump on every intermediate station which runs by electricity. Every pump will pump the fuel which comes from the pump below to the pump above at an appropriate pressure.
· Navigation& Communication equipment on the stations
It is required to hold all of the stations and the hose on a virtual 90 degrees vertical line as a 185 km vertical structure. Therefore there will be GPS or a similar installation system on stations and the hose. Because the rocket ships have got exhaust outputs on XYZ, station will be moved by rocket power in required direction automatically. A special installation system for this system can be produced from zero by GPS transmitters located on the earth.
· Lift cabins
Lift cabin will carry satellite, human or any kind of material required to be reached to the orbit. Because every station in the system has the ability of carrying lift cabin, if there are 18 stations in the system, 18 lift cabins will simultaneously rise up on the hose by electricity. When the lift cabin reaches the top station at a height of 185 km, launch preparations at the horizontal direction are started. There are a rocket engine and an empty fuel tank in every lift cabin. The tank in the cabin is filled with fuel at the height of 185 km. Then the cabin is released into space and launched in horizontal direction. At this height, the cabin will reach orbital speed and utility cargo will enter the orbit. After it enters the orbit at the height of 185 km, if required, it can be reached the orbital height required with a little fuel. Lift cabin and the rocket in the cabin is disposable. When the satellite is reached to required height, cabin and rocket are fired by letting it fall into atmosphere.
First launch of the system
Before the Yablam is launched, 185 km fuel hose stands on the earth as coiled around a bobbin. The hose is full with fuel. The stations are fixed on the hose every 10 km. Electricity is produced in the line on the hose. Fuel pumping starts and the first station began to rise up by the rocket power. Because there is not escape speed& fuel storage problem for the rockets on the stations, they can rise up with a speed such 30 km/hr. the first station rises up 10 km by dragging the hose below and the rocket power is lessened and the rocket is suspended in the air in a fix point like a helicopter. Meanwhile, second station is prepared to launch on the earth and the second one simultaneously starts to rise up in a synchronic way. When all the stations rise in the same way, we will have a 185 km vertical structure. After all of the lift cabins are launched into the orbit, the yablam hose will go down into the earth in the same way which it is launched and the system is closed by packaging on the earth. Yablam will be 6-7 hours or a few days in air just when it will be used, it will come back to the earth when it completes its mission.
About the systems weight
Fuel in the hose does not create a weight for the system. Because the fuel is continuously pumped by electricity which is produced on the earth and is continuously in movement, it does not create weight. But the fuel flow must not stop even just a second and the required quantity of fuel must continuously pumped. If fuel flow stops for a second, the fuel in the 185 hose will turn into weight and the system will collapse by its own weight. If the fuel is pumped more than required, excessive fuel will be released out. Every rocket in the system carries just itself, other equipment on the station and the empty hose piece which extends to the station below. Every hose piece carries just the hose piece which extends the station below too. If required distance between stations is estimated as 4 km instead of 10 km for this, the distance between stations will be designated as 4 km.
About economical value of the system
Lift cabins in the same number of stations will simultaneously rise up. A new utility cargo will be entered the orbit in every approximately 20-30 minutes depending on the cabins rising speed. Therefore space hotel, lunar hotel, commercial manufacturing facilities in areas without gravity, meteorite minor ships, inter planet passenger ships, transfer of pieces of inter stars passenger ships, assembling them in the space will be a reasonable aim for human being. 2-3 satellites at most can be launched by classic rockets and there is a explosion risk 1/33. Today, the cost of carrying one kg material to orbit is at a range of $10,000. Investment cost and freight cost per kg of carrying to orbit will be very less by the Yablam Method.
Comparing to space elevator project
Space elevator is designed as a rope from the earth to 100,000 km up. This rope is stretched by centrifugal force and gravity and can stand as a vertical structure. So lift cabins can rise up on this vertical structure. But it is impossible to produce space lift under present conditions. Because the only material which can lean against such a stress is Carbon nano tube. Production of sufficient quantity of carbon nano tube is not an arguable matter and it can not be guessed when it will be possible. Even if it can be produced in sufficient quantities, the cost of the space lift is guessed between 7-15 billion dollars. But the Yablam idea can be produced with the materials available by relatively very less investment cost. Because the space elevator is in vertical position, it must lean against conditions such as space garbage, meteor dust, negatively weather conditions. Either these are not such kind of risks in Yablam Project or very little.
Security evaluation of the system
Because standard rockets carry in huge quantity of fuel, it is nearly impossible the personnel to survive after an explosion. Because fuel is safely stored on the earth in yablam project, a big explosion risk is too little. There is not huge quantity of fuel in the rockets in fire. If assumed that a rocket explores, valves, which are fixed on the hose in periodical distant, will be closed automatically and the severity and effect of the explosion will be less.
During the explosion, security rockets in the lift cabins which are rising up, will be launched and the cabins will go away from the hose in a vertical position. Then they will reach the earth in a safe way by free falling and parachutes. The system can be launched from a vessel on the ocean or a desert against the risk of the 185 km hose filled with fuel on inhabited place. When a design is developed which will pump water to hose instead of H-O, the risk will be reasonable.
Other information
Other Info
Because the Yablam will stand for a certain time, the most appropriate weather conditions will be waited for. Despite possible jet streams are very strong winds, it is possible to overcome them by low air density at that height, small cross section of the hose and the low rising speed of the system. In south and north poles, jet streams are always zero. If jet streams will be a serious problem, the system can be built at polar points.
Because there is not high quantity of fuels in the rockets, it seems that there is no big explosion risk. Therefore risks for human being are less. All the fuel is stored in secure places on the earth.
If it is decided to pump water instead of H-O, breaking of the hose will be a high risk people living around. In that case, Yablam can be launched from a vessel on the ocean or desert.
Bobbin-like structure, which the hose is coiled, on the earth must round at the same speed with rockets rising speed. If we assume that rockets will rise up at the speed of 30km/hr, 8,3 meters/s rounding speed seems reasonable. As an alternative solution, 185 km hose and 10 cm diameter are assumed, it will cover185km*10cm = 185,000,000 cm2 of area, therefore an area of 300m*300m is considered enough. When all the hose is spread over the area there won't be any friction problem.
Yablam is now just at idea stage and just the patent was taken out. Any required estimations and researches arent carried out. Just 30-50 people have positively thoughts on this matter. If my opinion is considered appropriate, I would like it would be a scientific article or master thesis

LAFAYETTE (AP) — Prosecutors have filed murder charges against the man who they say started a fire that killed a 6-year-old girl in a house near Lafayette.
Tippecanoe County prosecutors filed charges of murder and arson on Thursday against 33-year-old Ryan Moynagh for the fire about 1 a.m. Nov. 9. Authorities say Katelyn Lane died at a hospital that day from third-degree burns and smoke inhalation.
The Journal & Courier and WLFI-TV report Moynagh shared the house with a friend of Lane's mother who was babysitting her. Court records say Moynagh admitted to setting papers on fire. Investigators reported finding three origin points for the fire, which left the other man unconscious in the house.
Moynagh didn't speak to reporters as he was led into court.

Local Brew Pub Moves Forward… Along With Concerns
Updated By: Andy Alcock January 23, 2014
The opening of a restaurant at Tallahassee's soon to open Cascades Park took a step forward today.
This morning (Thursday), the Community Redevelopment Agency gave final approval to more than $800-thousand dollars to fix up the building where the restaurant is expected to be.
The money will be used to get rid of graffiti and fix windows.
CRA member Gil Ziffer voted for the clean up plan.
However, he opposes the restaurant plan.
"I don't think there's a real bright future for a restaurant in that location. But we have to improve the building so that's what we voted for today," said Gil Ziffer, CRA member.
The $800,000 in CRA money is in addition to $1.3 million City Commissioners approved for improving the old electric company building.
Bill Proctor was the only one of the 8 CRA members to vote against the money to fix up the building.
By: Bailey Myers December 4th, 2013
Tallahassee FL- Something is cooking in Tallahassee's Cascade Park. Millions of dollars both from the City and private sectors will fund the renovation of a local historic building into a business — but not everyone is excited about the news.
Susan Campbell lives just about one mile from Cascade Park described the commission meeting, "They hear us like the children hear the teacher in Charlie Brown– whomp whomp whomp. Then they go ahead and do what ever they want to do and that's what they did today."
Tallahassee Residents left Wednesday's City Commission meeting frustrated. Commissioners approved plans to renovate the old electric building at Cascades park to turn it into a restaurant. Residents are worried this restaurant will be a 'defacto bar,' in turn creating some late night disturbances.
"We are taking all the necessary steps to make sure the neighbors are protected so they don't have to deal with a nuisance that makes living there unbearable. But we also have the larger community interest to also hold," explained Tallahassee City Commissioner Andrew Gillum.
According to the commission this restaurant is what the greater community wants. Project founder Adam Corey agrees, and believes with the help of the residents in the Cascades area, this restaurant could be a huge success. Corey said, "I am also worried in terms of their concerns so i'm going to make sure I don't do anything to jeopardize their friendship because my most important customer is going to be my neighbors."
The commissioners mentioned tonight that they hope Cascade Park will be open in march. they hope to start the renovation process of the old electric building as soon as possible.
UPDATE Story by: James Buechele 12-4-13
Adam Corey's company Cascades Holdings is set to open a new restaurant and bar called Edison's at the old electric building in Cascades Park.
"We want to be that neighborhood restaurant that they want to enjoy and we plan to really engage them," said Corey.
The city commission has already approved about $2.1 million for renovations. Corey's company will then add an investment of about $1.5 million to open up the restaurant and pay rent towards the city.
Not everyone is as enthusiastic as Corey for the plans in Cascades park, in fact, one city commissioner has some concerns moving forward.
"Whatever we do there needs to be successful," said commissioner Gil Ziffer.
He says the lack of parking and close proximity to residential neighborhoods are just some reasons he believes the restaurants won't work.
"I've just got some concerns that a restaurant, any restaurant, that anybody would do would have a high degree of chance of success."
Corey points to the success of his restaurant 101 as proof he'll make the new spot successful.
"This project is a great thing for the city of Tallahassee this Cascades park and I think this is going to do great things for this community."
The city commission will vote on whether the city manager can continue to negotiate terms of the restaurant with Corey's business in the future.
A proposed publicly funded brew pub has taken another step forward.
The Tallahassee City Commission approved funding to fix up the building in Cascades Park for the pub Wednesday night.
Eyewitness News first took you inside the old electric building in August to show what will be required to turn it into a brew pub.
"The city and the CRA are about to spend a lot of money," said Tallahassee Commissioner Gil Ziffer. "I just want to make sure whatever goes in there is successful," he said.
On Wednesday night, Ziffer was the only commissioner to vote against the funding to fix up the building.
Commissioners approved $1.3 million from two left over public works projects to help fund the building renovations.
That money is expected to be paid back as part of a 20 year lease with the pub operator.
The Community Redevelopment Authority or CRA is adding another $800,000 to fix the building.
And the developers are expected to invest $1.5 million.
"And I still have some questions about the lease agreement that we have with a potential vendor," said Ziffer. "So at this time, I just wasn't ready to vote yes," he said.
Specifically, Ziffer says he wants to know what the pub hours of operation will be and what the business model is.
Ziffer and the other commissioners will have another opportunity to vote on the pub once city leaders and the developer reach a deal.
"It's a win-win for the community if the project is good and they can run a good restaurant," said Ziffer. "City will get paid back, CRA gets paid back and the community gets a good restaurant," he said. "I think that's a good thing," Ziffer said.
Adam Corey, who owns and operates another restaurant in Kleman Plaza, is the lead developer for the brew pub.
He says negotiations on a deal with the city should be finalized in two weeks.
Corey says the likely name will be "The Edison" to emphasize the building's electric company roots and historic atmosphere.
Tallahassee tax dollars are on the line for an investment in a new restaurant.
The plan is to renovate an old building in Cascades Park and then lease it for a new brew pub.
It sits almost in the shadow of the new amphitheater at the Cascades Park project.
The old building belongs to the city of Tallahassee.
A look inside and you'll find broken windows, rotting wood, even graffiti, including Bugs Bunny.
"We're saying, how do we re-use a building and invest in it and hopefully get a return on it and it becomes an additional amenity for the park," said Tallahassee Assistant City Manager Jay Townsend.
The answer involves more than carrot money.
The city put out a request for proposal to tranform the building into a restaurant.
The first time there were no takers.
A second effort landed what city leaders say is one viable proposal.
Under proposed terms of the yet to be signed and completed deal, the city will invest up to $2.1 million to fix up the building.
The tenant will get one year's rent free and will pay back the city's investment in rent over 20 years.
"It's a risky venture for a private entity to come in there where you have limited parking, you're in a park like setting," said Townsend.
The deal is being negotiated with a company called Proof Brewing.
But according to investor Adam Corey who owns "101 Restaurant" in Kleman Plaza, Proof's role has been reduced from owning and operating the brew pub to providing beer.
He says his newly formed Cascades Holdings will run the restaurant.
Corey is also the treasurer for Commissioner Andrew Gillum's mayoral campaign.
Corey says they're unrelated.
"We have been dealing primarily with Mr. Corey." said Townsend. "Our position as a city is we're still doing business with Proof Brewing Company," he said.
Because part of the money to fix the old building comes from sales tax bond money, there will be a public hearing.
That hearing is expected to be scheduled for next month during the city's budget process.

Indianapolis —
The following is statement from Bishop Christopher J. Coyne, auxiliary bishop of the Archdiocese of Indianapolis, on the deaths of Donald and Barbara Horan and Stephen and Denise Butz in a plane crash Sunday evening:
"On behalf of Archbishop Joseph W. Tobin and the entire Catholic community of the Archdiocese of Indianapolis, I extend heartfelt sympathy to the families and friends of Donald Horan and his wife, Barbara Horan, and Stephen Butz and his wife, Denise Butz, who were killed in a plane crash Sunday night near Greensburg. These deaths are particularly painful because the Horans leave behind four girls and the Butzes two boys.
"I also wish to express my sorrow to the parishioners of St. Mary Parish in Greensburg where the Horans and Butzes were parishioners. Donald, Barbara, Stephen and Denise were good and faithful Catholics and will be greatly missed.
"Donald and Barbara have been very active in serving their parish and the greater archdiocese over the years. In 2010, the Horans were co-chairs of the annual United Catholic Appeal, which raises nearly $5 million each year for ministry needs throughout the archdiocese. They traveled to every corner of the archdiocese to raise funds for ministry needs. Donald also was a member of the board of directors of the Catholic Community Foundation and served as president of the foundation in 2011. The Catholic Community Foundation oversees 407 endowments with nearly $138 million in assets. These funds are used to pay for everything from operating Catholic schools, the good works of Catholic Charities, capital improvement projects at parishes to educating seminarians. Donald also played a key role in raising the money to build a new Catholic grade school for St. Mary Parish.
"I ask everyone to please keep the Horans and Butzes in their thoughts and prayers."

Man who caused an elementary school to be put on lockdown could have charges dismissed
Submitted: 08/27/2014
- Police think Michael Schettino pointed a handgun at another driver on Highway 51 in May. Police say he then drove through the parking lot of MHLT Elementary school in Minocqua. The school was put on lockdown because of what happened.
Schettino was in court Wednesday. He took a plea agreement. His two misdemeanors could be dismissed if he follows the terms of the agreement for 2 years.
"The state has the option if they have evidence indicating that you have not complied with the terms of the agreement to bring this matter back into court," Judge Michael Bloom told Schettino, "and if they presented evidence to establish that you were not in compliance that I could enter judgment on your pleas without any further proceedings and go immediately to sentencing."

Hundreds gather to honor slain journalist Foley
Submitted: 08/27/2014
- Slain U.S. journalist James Foley is being remembered as a person committed to social justice and as a modest friend who deflected questions about himself.
The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports (http://bit.ly/VQatzQ ) that Father Fred Zagone, the chaplain for the Marquette University Alumni Association, said at a vigil Tuesday that Foley cited the resonance of the Jesuit resolve he learned there after he was captured for the first time in Libya in 2011. Foley studied at Marquette. Zagone shared that email with more than 300 people at the vigil.

Leadership Oneida County seeks more applicants before deadline
Submitted: 08/27/2014
- Going back to school takes a lot of time and money, but there's another way you can get a step up in your career without stepping in the classroom.
Leadership Oneida County is a nine month course offered to people who strive to be leaders. About 100 graduates of the course come from various backgrounds but have the same reason to take it.
"Go through this course to learn more about their community and learn more about their personal strengths as leaders, and to build their own professional network. The point of the course is to really connect leaders to their community," said Tim Brown, UW-Extension Community Resource Development.

Snowmobile clubs prepare for the new season
Submitted: 08/27/2014
- Before the flurries fly, important preparations need to happen for snowmobile trails.
You'll find snowmobile clubs in the Northwoods busy this time of year.
The main focus is cleaning and organizing equipment.
The Minocqua Forest Riders Snowmobile Club operates about 150 miles of trails. Working inside the shop now helps them later on in the season.
"We looked at our shop and we've been doing about the same thing every year," says Club President Curt Christensen. "We never really moved the equipment out or took a real close look at things so we decided to do a major cleaning project this year to get the shop ready."

Mining company pushes back permit timeline
Submitted: 08/27/2014
- Gogebic Taconite will take longer than originally planned to apply for a mining permit in northern Wisconsin.
The company says its application to develop an iron ore mine in Ashland and Iron counties will be pushed back until at least the fall of next year.
Gogebic had planned to submit an application in the spring of 2015 to develop a 1.5 billion dollar iron ore mine in the Lake Superior region.
A company spokesman says Gogebic won't finish all fieldwork this year and will be forced to conduct additional environmental work next year.
The approaching of fall is prompting Gogebic to wrap up some fieldwork already.

But the size of those panfish has been getting smaller.
Overharvest seems to be part of the problem on many lakes.
Now, the DNR is proposing a way to increase the size of bluegill, crappie, pumpkinseed, and perch on several lakes.
Their regulation plan comes from decades of data collection.

Elections board: Primary turnout was 12.7 percent
Submitted: 08/26/2014
- Turnout for Wisconsin's primary elections two weeks ago was even lower than state election officials predicated.

- Seasonal (15)
Fashion Pablo using fleece, fabric glue (not sewing) and your own fleece.
Catch the Backyardigans on Nick Jr.
Start with a store-bought fleece scarf or make your own by cutting a 48- to 54-inch piece of fleece about 6 inches wide. For a thicker scarf, iron in fusible interfacing (such as Wonder Under) between two pieces of fleece or stitch them together on a sewing machine.
Print out the template, cut out all the shapes, and then, following the template, trace the shapes onto their respective pieces of fleece.
Arrange the fleece shapes at the ends of the scarf and pin them in place. Glue the shapes down and let the glue dry for about two hours.
You can create a colorful border for the scarves by cutting out two 6- by 2-inch pieces of fleece, folding them in half lengthwise, and pressing them with a hot iron. Slip one end of the scarf into one of the folded rectangles and glue it in place. Do the same at the opposite end of the scarf.
Use puffy paint pens to create the facial features, and to outline the shapes and trim the ends of the scarves, if desired. You can use embroidery floss or pearl cotton to add trim instead; simply stitch two rows of thread along the bottom of the scarf using a long running stitch.
Press the scarf lightly with an iron on the low setting. For best results, follow the ironing directions for the 3-D fabric paint or wait a couple of days before ironing the scarf.

CLEVELAND, OH (WOIO) - The scene at the state capitol in Madison, Wisconsin this past week - as thousands of union workers protested a plan to cut their benefits - looked a lot like what we saw in the streets of Athens, Greece last year when workers there accustomed to years of socialism objected to similar cuts designed to save that country from bankruptcy.
In Wisconsin, the governor has had the temerity to ask the state's public employees to start contributing to their own retirement and health care plans. It's a plan that would cut their pay by about 8%. The Republican plan also calls for measures that would restrict a portion of the union's collective bargaining rights, something the governor says is necessary to save the state from insolvency.
While the union dominated by school teachers, some of whom earn over $75,000 a year, has responded by staging a rebellion. Well, what we are witnessing in Wisconsin and will soon see here in Ohio is the result of a recession-weary populace fed up with an old-style political system that benefits a protected class of workers – while everyone else suffers to pay their own way.
And it is a battle that has been a long time in coming.

England and Algeria are scoreless after forty-five minutes having spent the first half of Friday's third match attempting to convince Americans that soccer is an over-hyped sport that will never appeal to the masses.
Perhaps that's an overreaction, particularly after Slovenia and the United States gave us one of the most exciting matches of the tournament, but any soccer fans won over by the States' incredible comeback against the Slovenes is being undone.
England has taken the talents of Wayne Rooney, Steve Gerrard, Frank Lampard, and Ashley Cole and created the world's most expensive sleep aid, and I don't put it beyond them to be trying to convince all the football, basketball and baseball fans to whom I've extolled the virtues of soccer than I am an idiot and should never be trusted.
The numbers make the match seem like a normal affair. England had four shots and 56 percent of the possession. Algeria had one shot, and although Karim Ziani looked dangerous at times, both teams played uninspired soccer characterized by a willingness to bludgeon themselves against the opposition back line rather than craft a more intricate solution for goal scoring.
And rather than try to philosophically explain the beauty of all type of strategies, I will spare you and share some of my tweets from the first half:
Djimon Honsou's voiceovers are the break-out, surprise stars of the #worldcup.
When Emile Heskey is your best striker, you might be a _________________. #eng England #worldcup
This match is making Alex Ferguson look like a genius. #eng England #worldcup #rooney
If Algeria's kit was a Kool-Aid flavor, what would its name be? I'm just trying to distract myself from this match. #eng England #alg Algeria #worldcup
WTF am I supposed to write for a halftime report after that crap? #eng England #alg Algeria #worldcup

On the top of the mountain
We're on the edge of the crater of Gunung Api Banda. This mountain is still active tough.
Melanesia is a term describing Pacific islands inhabited by black skinned people. It includes the islands of the Torres Straits, Papua New Guinea, the Solomon Islands, Vanuatu, New Caledonia and Fiji. The long chain of islands is highly volcanic and is also known as the "ring of fire".
The people who inhabited these rugged volcanic islands thousands of years ago established small isolated village communities that persist to this day.The communities are genetically and linguistically diverse, with over 400 languages, often as different from one another as French is from Russian. People sharing the same language are known as "one talks" and are considered extended family (which they are).
Although culturally and linguistically diverse, Melanesian people share a common bond in a sense of identity with their island. The people of the island of Tikopea, for example, speak of themselves as "we the Tikopea" a term that encompasses the people, island, trees, gardens, and coral reefs as one living entity. Melanesians are masters at social harmony. You can understand why they have to be when you consider that 90 percent of them live in small, very isolated villages that have been in exactly the same location for thousands of years. Melanesians tend to stay where they were born until they die - generation after generation. If they failed to achieve social harmony they would not survive long. A person unable to "adapt" was (and still can be) banished from the village. Until the mid 1900's this usually was a death sentence as the concept of social harmony generally extended just to the boundary of the tribal lands and inter-tribal warfare and cannibalism was common.
Melanesia is one of the few places on our planet where one can see truly ancient custom dances and rituals performed with utter sincerity and cultural importance. Almost all of the Melanesian people are Christians but there are many who are Muslims and still a few who cling to their custom religions. But even dressed up in Christian clothes, their spirits remain one with their ancestors and their land. It is a fascinating part of our world, rich in powerful images.

WAUSAU (WAOW) - The trial for a 20-year-old Wausau woman accused of torturing, poisoning and killing her boyfriend's dog and then writing about it in her diary is set to start May 1.
The trial for Sean Janas is scheduled for two days, according to online court records.
Janas has pleaded not guilty to two felony counts of animal abuse involving her boyfriend's dog, Mary, a four-year-old Labrador-shepherd mix. The dog died last June.
Prosecutors say Janas kept a diary about systematically torturing the dog and about her "intense hatred" for it.
Among the allegations against Janas is she poured Drano and bleach down the dog's throat and stabbed it with a knife, according to the criminal complaint.
In another development Wednesday, court records show Janas has a new attorney, public defender Lou Ann Bohn.

The Youngstown Business Incubator is an internationally recognized program focused on the development of B2B software application companies in the Mahoning Valley. Its success has been well documented by Businessweek, Inc., The Economist, Next City, Entrepreneur, Details, Governing, Salon, the German Financial Times, and the BBC, CNN, NPR, MSNBC, ABC and Tokyo Broadcasting.
The Youngstown Business Incubator has generated a buzz about their verifiable track record of success, by leading the valley to compete in the global knowledge economy. The YBI has shifted the perception of our community – in our own and in the eyes of the world – by growing a base of technology companies and entrepreneurs to ensure future jobs for talented regional professionals.
Our 32 portfolio companies operate out of a Youngstown Business Incubator owned four building campus in downtown Youngstown, Ohio. Our campus is also home to a federally funded research and development center, America Makes, the Additive Manufacturing Innovation Institute formerly known as NAMII. For more information about America Makes identity shift, mission, accomplishments, and background see America Makes (NAMII).
YBI is funded in part by the State of Ohio through the Edison Incubator Program, as well as through the JumpStart Entrepreneurial Network.
"I believe the success of any region is dependant not only on the jobs available today, but the realistic prospects of jobs being created in the years to come. By encouraging entrepreneurship and integrating advanced technologies, like additive manufacturing, into the local industrial base, YBI has not only created a culture of innovation that has given young people an opportunity to stay here, but it is drawing people back to the Tech Belt, as well."
- Congressman Tim Ryan (OH-17)

Introduction to pregnancy symptoms
Most women equate a missed menstrual period with the possibility of being pregnant, but other symptoms and signs are experienced by most women in the early stages of pregnancy. It's important to remember that not all women will experience all of these symptoms or have the symptoms to the same degree. Even the same woman can have different types of symptoms in a subsequent pregnancy than she had in previous pregnancies. The following are the most common pregnancy symptoms in the first trimester.
Missed period
A missed menstrual period is most often the first sign of pregnancy. Sometimes a woman who is pregnant may still experience some bleeding or spotting around the time of the expected period. This small amount of bleeding that occurs at the time of the expected menstrual period happens when the fertilized egg attaches to the uterine wall and is referred to as implantation bleeding.
Any bleeding during pregnancy is typically lighter than that observed during the regular menstrual period. However, if a woman does not have regular menstrual cycles, she may notice some of the other symptoms of early pregnancy before it is apparent that the menstrual period has been missed. A missed menstrual period also does not confirm that a woman is pregnant even if she has regular cycles, since both emotional and physical conditions may cause absent or delayed periods.
Breast swelling, tenderness, and pain
Feelings of breast swelling, tenderness, or pain are also commonly associated with early pregnancy. These symptoms are sometimes similar to the sensations in the breasts in the days before an expected menstrual period. Women may also describe a feeling of heaviness or fullness in the breasts. These symptoms can begin in some women as early as one to two weeks after conception. Women may also notice a deepening of the color of the area surrounding the nipple (called the areola) and/or a dark line going down from the middle of the central abdomen area to the pubic area (known as the linea nigra). Some degree of darkening of the areola persists after pregnancy in many women, but the linea nigra typically disappears in the months following delivery of the baby.
Nausea and vomiting
Nausea and vomiting are also common in early pregnancy. Traditionally referred to as "morning sickness," the nausea and vomiting associated with early pregnancy can occur at any time of the day or night. Its typical onset is anywhere between the 2nd and 8th weeks of pregnancy. Most women who have morning sickness develop nausea and vomiting about one month after conception, but it may develop sooner in some women.
Elevations in estrogen that occur early in pregnancy are thought to slow the emptying of the stomach and may be related to the development of nausea. Accompanying the characteristic "morning sickness" may be cravings for, or aversions to, specific foods or even smells. It is not unusual for a pregnant woman to change her dietary preferences, often having no desire to eat previous "favorite" foods. In most women, nausea and vomiting begin to subside by the second trimester of pregnancy.
Fatigue and tiredness
Fatigue and tiredness are symptoms experienced by many women in the early stages of pregnancy. The cause of this fatigue has not been fully determined, but it is believed to be related to rising levels of the hormone progesterone. Fatigue is another symptom that may be experienced early, in the first weeks after conception.
Abdominal bloating
Some women may experience feelings of abdominal enlargement or bloating, but there is usually only a small amount of weight gain in the first trimester of pregnancy. In this early stage of pregnancy a weight gain of about one pound per month is typical. Sometimes women also experience mild abdominal cramping during the early weeks of pregnancy, which may be similar to the cramping that occurs prior to or during the menstrual period.
Frequent urination
A woman in the early stages of pregnancy may feel she has to urinate frequently, especially at nighttime, and she may leak urine with a cough, sneeze, or laugh. The increased desire to urinate may have both physical and hormonal causes. Once the embryo has implanted in the uterus, it begins to produce the hormone known as human chorionic gonadotrophin (hCG), which is believed to stimulate frequent urination. Another cause of frequent urination that develops later is the pressure exerted by the growing uterus on the bladder.
Elevated basal body temperature
A persistently elevated basal body temperature (the oral temperature measured first thing in the morning, before arising from bed) is another characteristic sign of early pregnancy. An elevation in the basal body temperature occurs shortly after ovulation and persists until the next menstrual period occurs. Persistence of the elevated basal body temperature beyond the time of the expected menstrual period is another sign of early pregnancy.
Melasma (darkening of the skin)
Some women may develop a so-called "mask of pregnancy" in the first trimester, referring to a darkening of the skin on the forehead, bridge of the nose, upper lip, or cheekbones. The darkened skin is typically present on both sides of the face. Doctors refer to this condition as melasma or chloasma, and it is more common in darker-skinned women than those with lighter skin. Melasma can also occur in some conditions other than pregnancy. Women who have a family history of melasma are at greater risk of developing this sign of pregnancy.
Mood swings and stress
Mood swings and stress are common symptoms reported by many women in the early stages of pregnancy. Many women in the early stages of pregnancy describe feelings of heightened emotions or even crying spells. The rapid changes in hormone levels are believed to cause these changes in mood. Pregnant women may also notice more rapid and drastic changes in their moods.

Today the Carolina Panthers welcome their rookies to Charlotte with contracts signed, and deals done. These players will battle incumbent veterans for starting jobs; putting their best foot forward to get the attention of position coaches and coordinators. There is a second subset of players, the UDFA's- those who have no certainty. On a sunny Friday morning they arrive at BoA Stadium in hopes of just finding their way onto an NFL roster. For these players the window is but a pinhole, and they are desperate to achieve their dream.
The career of an NFL player is fleeting at best, and it's a shame so many fail to have contingency plans for when the game passes them by. While some players take full advantage of the opportunities presented by their college scholarships, others are unable to see the value and simply skirt by- taking slider classes and settling for the bare minimum. 2011 UDFA Thomas Keiser ensured he didn't re-trace familiar steps, instead opting to take the path less traveled in order to gain something as valuable as a mesh shirt with a number- a college degree.
In some ways I can relate to what Keiser is going through. During my junior and senior years I worked a 45 hr a week night job, wrote papers until 4AM, class at 8AM every day and still managed to retain a relationship (to my now wife), and have enough 'Animal House' moments that I can look back on those times in fondness. However, I had a fifteen minute commute, not a five hour flight- and thus the work our defensive end has put in is beyond impressive.
"Last quarter of my college career!" - Thomas Kesier, via Twitter (4/13/12)
While some players are spending Jan-April working out, recovering, relaxing and mentally preparing themselves for another season, Keiser was commuting non-stop from Charlotte to Stanford, CA, looking to finish what he started there. It's not as glamorous as taking in the Charlotte nightlife as a VIP, but it's far less disposable.
More after the jump
"In the airport heading back to Charlotte to start training with the team tomorrow!" 4/15/12
Whenever I travel to and from Australia it's that cross-country leg that's always the killer. Just long enough to be really uncomfortable, just short enough so airlines don't put you in a decent plane. It might be nice for the frequent flyer miles, but probably not your sense of well-being, and heck, I don't have to squeeze into a seat that badly; I'm only 6'3" in my wildest dreams (I love you dad, but those Italian genes are a killer!).
"At the airport about to fly back to Stanford for school. Then Back to Charlotte Sunday..." 4/19/12
Hard work is nothing new to Keiser. Along with Sione Fua he was a player I continually noticed while scouting Andrew Luck prior to the 2011 draft (before he announced he was returning to school). I saw a 3-4 outside linebacker in Harbaugh's system that may not have looked like the most athletic guy on the field, but he was one of the hardest workers. On every down you saw him giving his all, besting offensive linemen through sheer will alone. This effort transitioned to the next level as Keiser arrived in Charlotte roughly a year ago and immediately made an impact on those who saw him. Word got to me from Spartanburg quickly "There's a UDFA out here... he looks good man"- and this parlayed onto the field where Keiser was the most effective situational pass rusher on the Panthers last year amassing 13 tackles and 4.0 sacks in 8 games. Now entering his second season it's likely his role will be expanded along with the proliferation of 3-4 looks employed by Sean McDermott.
"On my way back to Charlotte" 4/22/12
The defense the Panthers will employ in 2012 looks to be more varied, and complicated than the base 4-3 with some 3-4 looks we saw in 2011. The evaluation and 'feeling out' phase is over, now replaced with solid plans to create confusion on the defensive side of the ball. To this end Thomas Keiser will likely have an expanded role- giving fans more time to cheer for a player who quickly became a fan favorite. His best role is still suited as a hybrid rush backer, with some looks as a 43 end, especially on third down where he can be subbed with Charles Johnson.
"Just got on the plane to head back to the Bay Area. See you Monday, Charlotte!" 5/3/12
Aren't these tweets the perfect journal that encapsulates the essence of the players Ron Rivera is bringing to the Carolina Panthers? Other organizations will gamble on upside, measurables and insane potential- but to this organization something as meaningful as making bi-weekly cross-country flights to achieve one's goals means far more. You simply can't teach work ethic; whether it's from an undrafted player making waves in the NFL, but still trying to achieve his scholastic goals, or a kid working those movie theatre night jobs to get his degree and become a sportswriter. The methods are different, but end result is the same.
From everyone here at CSR we send our best wishes to Thomas Keiser as he closes out his final semester at Stanford, and we wait with bated breath to see him on the field again in the fall. Last year was a treat, and there's no indication he'll be slowing down- especially with the drive he's shown thus far.

The National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) has issued full guidance to the NHS in England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland on Percutaneous intradiscal laser ablation in the lumbar spine.
It replaces the previous guidance on Laser lumbar discectomy (Interventional Procedures Guidance no. 27 in December 2003).
Discs that act like cushions between the bones of the spine can sometimes get damaged and protrude onto nerves, causing back and leg pain, and numbness and weakness in the leg.
In percutaneous intradiscal laser ablation, a needle is inserted through the outer cover of the disc, into its jelly-like centre. A laser is then inserted through the needle to destroy part of the disc, with the aim of shrinking it.
OPCS4.6 Code(s)
V52.2 Destruction of intervertebral disc NEC
V55.- Levels of spine
Y08.3 Laser destruction of organ NOC
Y53.1 Approach to organ under radiological control
Z99.3 Intervertebral disc of lumbar spine
Note: Codes within category V55.- are assigned in second place each time a spinal operation is coded. If the levels of spine are not specified V55.9 Unspecified levels of spine is used.
Codes within category Y53.- are used as secondary codes to classify interventions that are percutaneous and require some form of image control, if the method of image control is unspecified Y53.9 Unspecified approach to organ under image control is assigned.
The NHS Classifications Service of NHS Connecting for Health is the central definitive source for clinical coding guidance and determines the coding standards associated with the classifications (OPCS-4 and ICD-10) to be used across the NHS. The NHS Classifications Service and NICE work collaboratively to ensure the most appropriate classification codes are provided. www.connectingforhealth.co.uk/clinicalcoding

New law calms loud television commercials

Now what's going to wake me up when I fall asleep on the couch? Just joking. I like this law. I'm going to report those noisy ads to the FCC.
on Dec 14, 2012 at 7:51 am
It probably took this long because most of the people with influence (read:money) own TV sound systems that adjust the volume automatically.
on Dec 14, 2012 at 2:23 pm
These are the laws we're fussing with instead of "fiscal cliff" issues. Nice. Remember when we had to get up off the couch to turn the channel or adjust the volume? Maybe if they passed a law outlawing remote controls, the nation would lose some weight, or watch less TV, then we wouldn't have to worry about slightly louder audio during commercials...

Spoiler Alert No. 1: On this week's episode of "Hard Knocks," HBO will show all the drama and tension involved with Jets head coach Rex Ryan and owner Woody Johnson heading to Miami to convince All-Pro CB Darrelle Revis to sign a new contract.
Spoiler Alert No. 2: Even with Revis back in the fold, the Jets still won't win the Super Bowl this season.
Revis' contract extension is nothing but positive for the Jets. He is the league's premier cornerback and the key to the attacking defense Ryan wants to run. With the opponent's top wide receiver stranded on "The Island," it allows New York's other 10 defenders to limit yards and force turnovers, two categories in which the Jets excelled in 2009. Offseason acquisitions Jason Taylor and Brodney Pool (through free agency), Antonio Cromartie (via trade) and Kyle Wilson (first-round draft pick) only improve the depth of a unit that allowed the fewest points in the league a season ago.
Ryan has declared his team championship-caliber. The league itself has high hopes for the club, giving the Jets five prime-time night games, including three in the season's first five weeks. And last Sunday, after being told that Revis would sign a contract extension, Cromartie compared the Jets' starting corners with another championship duo.
"He's (Michael) Jordan and I'm (Scottie) Pippen," Cromartie said. "Me tag-teaming with the best cornerback in the NFL and being his sidekick, I'm Pippen and that's something I look forward to."
Yet while the mantra "defense wins championships" still holds true, the comparison to a pair of basketball players with six rings apiece is about as laughable as Cromartie's "Hard Knocks" appearances. It's not purely coincidence that Tom Brady, Ben Roethlisberger, Drew Brees and the Manning brothers have won eight of the past nine Super Bowls. Elite QB play is vital come playoff time, when the smallest details are magnified and teams look toward their leader to carry them. The Jets may have the best pass defender in the sport, but their own passer leaves too much to be desired.
Preseason games don't count for much; Revis never broke a sweat and he's expected to come in on opening day and lock down Baltimore's Anquan Boldin. But one thing that the August games can show is a player's development. Jets QB Mark Sanchez's preseason proved that he hasn't yet taken that next step from game manager to game winner. The stats — 64.6 percent completions, two touchdowns, two interceptions, five sacks taken — say that Sanchez still isn't sure where to go with the ball. Physically, the 6-2, 225-pound QB can make every throw in the book. He just hasn't been able to do it quite yet.
Ryan and offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer have said publicly that they aren't worried about Sanchez's development. They have to say that. Ryan can't pound his chest that the Jets will win the Super Bowl if he also is discussing QB problems. But New York will know right away, after games against tough defenses from Baltimore, New England and Miami the first three weeks of the season, if the second-year player is up to the challenge. Top receiving target Santonio Holmes will be suspended for all of those contests, and it will be up to Sanchez, the Jets' running game and the team's other receivers to pick up the slack. The preseason proved the runners are up to the challenge. Is Sanchez?
Of course, with every story comes a plot twist. Maybe the "Hard Knocks" cameras won't follow the Jets' entourage to South Beach to talk to Revis. And maybe Sanchez will prove to be a championship quarterback. But based on what has developed so far on both the show and the field, neither of those twists seems likely.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. Is the SR 91 Improvements project the same as the
Elizabethton Northern Connector project?
The Elizabethton Northern Connector Project has been renamed the SR 91 Improvements Project to better reflect the NEPA requirement to study a range of alternatives, including improvements to the existing road.
2. Why does the SR 91 project have to go through the
environmental review process?
The National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) requires that projects receiving federal funding or requiring federal actions (e.g., permits) undergo an environmental review process. The project cannot proceed until this requirement has been successfully completed.
3. What is the difference between an Environmental Assessment
(EA) and an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)?
An Environmental Assessment (EA) is prepared if it is unknown whether or not a project has the potential to significantly impact environmental resources. If the EA identifies potential significant impacts then an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) must be prepared.
The major differences between the two types of documents are the level of detail, required study alternatives, and the procedural process.
4. What alternatives must be studied in an EIS?
Alternatives that must be studied in an EIS include:
The No-Build Alternative:
- Examines what would happen if no improvements (other than routine maintenance) were made to the road
- Serves as a baseline that other alternatives are compared agains
The TSM Alternative
Transportation system management is the application of construction, operational and institutional actions to make the most productive and cost effective use of existing transportation facilities and services.
The Transit Alternative
The transit alternative includes all reasonable and feasible transit options.
Build Alternative(s)5. What other transportation projects are on-going in the SR 91 project area?
A representative number of reasonable alternatives must be presented and evaluated in detail. The following build alternatives should be evaluated:
- Improvement of the existing highway(s)
- Alternatives on new location
- State Route 400 (Lynn Avenue) Road Widening and Bridge Replacement
- State Route 67 Signalization Improvements

HOGANSVILLE, Ga. (AP) - Georgia Gov. Nathan Deal says a Korean auto manufacturer plans to build a new casting facility at its manufacturing complex in west Georgia, creating 660 jobs by 2020.
Mando Corp. announced plans in 2011 to construct its existing manufacturing facility in Meriwether County.
Deal said in a statement Friday that it selected the west Georgia site for an expansion involving the new casting facility after a competitive search.
Deal said that with the expansion, Mando will become the largest employer in Meriwether County.
The governor said the new 317,000-square-foot casting facility will be in the Meriwether Industrial Park in the Hogansville area, about 60 miles southwest of Atlanta.

Potatoes Anna with Rosemary
A few ingredients are all it takes to convert the humble potato into a beautiful and delicious dish. Thinly sliced, brushed with butter, and arranged in a spiral, the potatoes are baked in a skillet, then inverted like a cake and cut into wedges. Using your food processor makes quick work of slicing the potatoes, but a mandoline or sharp knife would be fine too.
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
- Peel the potatoes and, using a food processor fitted with the slicing blade or a mandoline (*See Note below), slice them very thin, immediately placing them in a large bowl of cold water.
- Drain the slices and pat them dry between paper towels.
- Brush the bottom and side of a 9-inch heavy ovenproof skillet, preferably non-stick, with some of the butter, and in the skillet arrange the slices, overlapping them slightly, in layers. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and some of the rosemary. As you go, brush each new layer with butter and sprinkle with salt, pepper and rosemary.
- Place foil that you have buttered or sprayed with cooking spray on top of the potatoes, press down on the layers firmly, and bake it in the middle of the oven for 30 minutes.
- Remove the foil and bake the potato cake for 25 to 30 minutes more, or until the slices are tender and golden.
Invert the potato cake onto a cutting board and cut it into 8 wedges.
Note: A mandoline is a hand-held cutting device for thin-slicing, juliennes and many other specialty cuts. It can be found at any kitchen suppy shop.
