Kentfield, CA, then Greenbae, CA. Started by Lewis and Dorothy Allen. They had begun printing limited edition books in 1946, but the Allen Press was in Kentfield from 1953-77 and Greenbrae from 1978-1991. They used an Albion handpress, an 1830 Acorn-Smith handpress, and finally a Columbian Press. In 1996 they received the Oscar Lewis award from the Book Club of Califonria for a lifetime of fine printing.
New York. Valenti Angelo (1897-1982) is best known as an illustrator and designer of books. His first illustrations for a book were in 1926 for San Francisco's Grabhorn Press. Since that beginning he had illustrated and decorated over 250 books. Many of his books have been included in the American Institute of Graphic Arts "books of the year" exhibition.
Ashendene, Hertfordshire, and then London, England. Started in 1895 by Sir. C. H. St. John Hornby. It printed from 1895-1915 and then 1920-1935. All its editions were set by hand. It is considered with the Kelmscott Press and Doves Press one of the finest in England.
Birgimham, England. John Baskerville (1706-1775) established his press in 1757. with an edition of Virgil. He designed his own typeface and used it in his master piece- the Baskerville Bible. He also became Cambridge University's printer. Baskerville's wife continued the printing business after his death until 1777.
San Francisco, CA. Established in 1912, this club of book lovers is limited to 1000 members. Its first publication was issued in 1914. Since then it has issued over 200 books.
Sacramento, CA. Started in 1939, its membership declined during World War II, but it was reinvigorated in 1947. It first began publishing in 1942 and has continued to this date.
Hammersmith, England. Started in 1900 by Thomas James Cobden-Sanderson (1840-1922) and Emery Walker. Walker designed the typeface used by the press based on a type used by venetian Nicolas Jensen in the 15rh Century. The press was named for a public house in the area. Its greatest work was the Doves Bible, a five volume edition issued in 1903-05. In 1916, Cobden-Sanderson threw the Doves type into the Thames River to keep it from being used by Walker after his death.
Henry Evans was a man of many talents - a rare book dealer, a printer, and an artist. He owned the Porpoise Bookshop in San Francisco. He acquired his 1852 Washington Hand Press in 1949 and established the Peregrine Press by which he produced a number books he was interested in printing and the art work of Bay Area artists, such as Rick Barton, Mel Fowler, Mark Luca, Robert Quick, Leonard Basking, and Edward Hagedorn.
Henry began to cut linoleum blocks so that he could learn to understand the best way to print the works of these artists. After learning to cut the linoleum, he started making his own botanical prints. Henry would draw his subjects directly from living plants and depicted life size. He would draw the design on the linoleum and cut the design in the block. He liked linoleum as a material because when properly warmed it would cut like butter due to the softness of the material, which would result in fluid and supple prints. Henry would destroy his linoleum blocks once his particular printing edition was completed. Marsha Evans, his wife, would do most of the printing. Marsha has indicated that it could take four days to make a particular print if the drawing contained four colors.
Henry Evans began making his botanical prints in 1958 and during his career he drew more than 1400 subjects. In 1964, he decided to close the bookstore and to become solely "Henry Evans –Printmaker." His botanical prints became very popular with the public and with museums and galleries. He has had more that 250 one-man shows and his works are in the Library of Congress, the New York Public Library, the Albertina in Vienna, the Clark Library at UCLA, the Gleeson Library, and the Bancroft Library, just to mention a few. Dr Donovan McCune was an early admirer and patron. The McCune Collection has one of the largest holding of Henry Evans prints in the nation.
The Henry Evans portfolios are exhibited on the McCune website with the permission of Marsha Evans. Additional Henry Evans prints can be seen and purchased from Marsha's website: http://www.henryevans.com.
Berkshire, England, then to London. Started in 1920 by Harold (Hal) Taylor, it was later sold to Robert Gibbing in 1924, who ran it until 1933 when it was sold to the partnership of Rutter, Sanford and Newberry. They published until 1959. It is known for its handset type (some designed by Eric Gill) and original illustrations from wood engravings.
San Francisco, CA. Started in 1919 by Edwin and Robert Grabhorn, the press stayed in business until the death of Edwin in 1965. They bought the typefaces of John Henry Nash as well as developing their own. One of their major works was Walt Whitman's The Leaves of Grass, illustrated by Valenti Angelo. Many of Grabhorn Press' later works were under commission from the Book Club of California and also David Magee, San Francisco rare book dealer. In 1966, Robert Graborn partnered with Andrew Hoyem and they produced fine publications until Robert's death in 1973
Hammersmith, England. William Morris (1834-1896) established this press in 1891. He named it after the Kelmscott Manor House. He was prominent in the Arts and Crafts movement of the late Nineteenth Century. He established the press to contrast the typical shoddy workmanship of the time. He used as inspiration the 15th Century type of venetian printer Nicholas Jensen. Morris used hand-made paper, ornate designs and elaborate illustrations to prove the quality that could be achieved in fine printing. His masterpiece was the Kelmscott Chaucer. it has 87 illustrations designed by Edward Burne-Jones as well as may borders and initials designed by Morris himself.
San Francisco, CA. John Henry Nash (1871-1947) worked as printer and designer for Tomoye Press from 1903 to 1911. In 1916, he started his own printing company, which stayed in business until 1938. He then taught typography at the University of Oregon for a few years. He is known for his fine printing.
London, England. Started in 1922 by Francis Meynell, his wife Vera, and David Garnett. It received its name from a Tudor palace. Its first edition, John Donne Love Poems. was issued in 1923. It usually tried to publish books which were out of print or hard to get. Unlike most other fine publishers, it designed its publications on a small Albion, but then sent them out to a commercial printing house to be produced. This resulted in a quality product at much lower rates than most fine presses. The twenties and thirties were the high points for this press but it continued until the 1960s. In 2005, Peter Mayer purchased the press to reissue some of the editions.
Los Angeles, CA. Started in 1931 by Saul (1905-1974) and Lillian Marks, the press was named after a French printing house in Antwerp. The Plantin Press used an 1852 Albion press, which was eventually purchased by the California State Library Foundation in 1983. After Saul's death, his wife Lillian Simon Marks continued the business until 1985.
1870-1957. American typographer and book designer. He worked for the Riverside Press in Boston from 1896 until 1912, where he designed the Montaigne typeface. He then designed his Centaur type in 1915 for the Metropolitan Museum. He used a version of this type on his major work Oxford Lectern Bible in 1935. The Monotype Company used his typeface on their typesetting machines. Rogers was also printing advisor to Cambridge University Press and Harvard University Press. In 1933, Edwin Grabhorn said "It was Bruce Rogers' books that have influenced American and English printers more than any other recent single force."
Miniature books are defined as those books that are three inches or smaller in height and width. Beginning in the medieval times there were miniature books handwritten by monks for royal patrons. These were mostly prayer or devotional texts which could be handily carried in a pocket or purse. After the invention of the printing press, miniature books were a way for a printer to show his skill. In 1468, Peter Schoffer (Johann Gutenberg's assistant) printed the first pocket-size book - "Diurnale Maguntinum." Later a Venetian printer, Aldus Manutius, established the Aldine Press, which was noted for its miniature editions. According to Robert Bradbury, Twentieth Century United States Miniature Books: "The renaissance of miniature book publishing and collecting began in 1960 when Achille J. St. Onge published the first issue of the Minature Book Collector." The McCune Collection has a number of Achille J. St. Onge's publications and has a total of 25 miniature books altogether.
Cambridge and Boston, MA. Started by Henry Houghton in 1852, it merged into Houghton Mifflin when George Mifflin became a parterner in 1880. Bruce Rogers worked for the press from 1896-1912. In 1979, the Riverside Publishing Company became a wholly owned subsidiary of Houghton Mifflin.

Bobby Steggert, Penny Fuller, Virginia Kull, Claybourne Elder Will Star in Pterodactyls Benefit in NYC
By Kenneth Jones
Vineyard Theatre's Dec. 10 benefit reading of Nicky Silver's Pterodactyls, a standout title from the not-for-profit's 30 years of producing, will star Emmy Award winner Penny Fuller, Tony Award nominee Bobby Steggert, Virginia Kull and Claybourne Elder.
The 7 PM presentation is part of Vineyard's series of one-night-only readings of notable plays from its acclaimed history in celebration of the Off-Broadway company's 30th anniversary. Pterodactyls was produced in 1993. Trip Cullman (Murder Ballad) will direct.
"One of the first plays on the American stage to deal with a family's response to the AIDS epidemic," according to Vineyard notes, Pterodactyls was the winner of both the Kesselring and Oppenheimer Awards. It was the first play of nine by Silver presented by The Vineyard. The others are Raised in Captivity (1995), My Marriage to Ernest Borgnine (1997), The Maiden's Prayer (1998), Eros Trilogy (1999), The Altruists (1999), Beautiful Child (2004), The Agony and the Agony (2006) and The Lyons (2011).
The absurdist black comedy about the demise of the Duncan family, "and, by extension, the species,"Pterodactyls will feature Fuller (The Dinner Party, Applause) as Duncan family matriarch Grace; Steggert (Ragtime, Giant) as son Todd; Kull (The Heiress) as daughter Emma; and Elder (Bonnie & Clyde) as Emma's fiancé Tommy. The role of the father is yet to be announced.
The reading will be seen at Vineyard's home at 108 E. 15 St., between Irving Place and Union Square East.
Proceeds from the reading will benefit The Vineyard's 2012-13 productions and programs. Tickets for the one-night-only reading of Pterodactyls are priced at $75 (which includes a pre-show toast in the Vineyard lobby) and are available by calling The Vineyard box office at (212) 353-0303, or online at vineyardtheatre.org.

Nick DeLeon put D.C. United ahead in the 88th minute, when his goal gave the visitors the 1-0 lead in the Eastern Conference semifinal against the New York Red Bulls. In a game that featured a red card to each side, a saved penalty, and of course a postponement of the match, DeLeon's goal, which came against the run of play, was a dramatic cap to a crazy second half.
D.C. had a good spurt of possession prior to the goal, and DeLeon made a well-timed run to beat New York's back line. He received a perfect pass from fullback Robbie Russell to beat the defense, and slotted it past Luis Robles, who couldn't have stopped it. Although New York had controlled much of the match, they could not convert their chances, and United's rookie gave the visitors the lead.
If the result holds, D.C. will advance to face the Houston Dynamo in the Eastern Conference final.

Taco ZVC Wiring (4 Posts)

Taco ZVC Wiring (And P/S Followup)Hi Everyone,
I have a question regarding wiring a ZVC to a boiler that has built in DHW Priority (Triangle Tube Prestige Solo 175).
I have a ZVC 406-4 and am planning on using this in NON priority mode to be able to power up to 6 zones (4 currently in use). I would like to use the boiler's built in DHW priority switching so that I don't have to use one of the ZVC zones for DHW. In this case, how would the system circulator be wired?
The Taco instructions indicate the circulator should be wired directly to the ZVC, but it seems like this could end up ignoring the boiler's DHW priority control. Instead, I feel like I should only wire the temp relay from the ZVC to the boiler and then run the circulator from the boiler's circulator outputs. Is this correct? In that case, do I still jumper the 120v to the dry contacts on the ZVC or leave those contacts empty, only powering the relays?
Thanks a TON.This post was edited by an admin on October 28, 2013 9:49 AM.

TT 175Ray,
Just let the triangle tube drive. It has relays to control the both circulators. The only thing that needs to connect the boiler to the taco is the low voltage TT wire. You just have to configure the controller for your piping arrangement.
I assume you have worked out the minimum flow requirements?

Hopefully didn't shoot myself...Thanks (again) Carl for your input. Thats what I was thinking, but just wanted to be sure.
After seeing your comment about the flow, I went back and reread my first post and it looks like I've missed something there. TT gives the minimum flow requirement only at high output, which is 8 gpm. Unfortunately, I don't have a low output number though, so I'm forced to speculate...
Given that I'm using a dT circulator (bumblebee) and the boiler should modulate to a proper rate to match demand (which i can control better with the bumblebee) it seems that I shouldn't be approaching that maximum except on multi-zone or DHW calls. Of course, this is speculation though and I'm beginning to get a little worried that I've missed something on my setup (after rereading manuals and forum posts tonight).
In my system, I have 4 zones with loads of 10k, 26k, 27k, 35k. A couple of these are pretty long runs since the new boiler is in the opposite corner of a split level ranch and feeding the addition on the other side. These are all piped direct using the Bumblebee, I'm setting a 30 degree dT as was previously suggested. DHW will be hooked up as I mentioned previously, tied to the boiler directly and uses its own Taco 007.
Given this scenario, do I need to revisit my piping arrangement and convert to P/S? That would _really_ suck. Killing my boiler would suck more though.
While we're on the topic of retrofitting a new system (and, the answer here may not matter so much if I must revisit P/S): When we talked before about the differential bypass not being an issue with the Bumblebee, one thing I didn't think of there (maybe others did) was post purge. I think that the ZVC will close the valves once the thermostat has been satisfied. At this point, the heat call is terminated, but the boiler has a post purge set up. Do I need a bypass in place and tuned such that it allows flow when NO zones are calling? This should allow clearing the heat exchanger at least...

Minimum flowsGiven that the TT 175 modulates from 50k-170k, the 8 GPM minimum flow rate would drop to roughly 2.4 GPM at low fire.
What you are seeing is a demonstration of the problems merging bang/bang zone control with ODR. Using TRV for small zones will minimize (or often eliminate) the issue.This post was edited by an admin on October 28, 2013 12:59 PM.

EXAMINER.COM - It's September, and that means it's spider season. The females tend to make webs and stay in one place, but a very few may enter a house. This is the time when male hobos are wandering around, though, looking for mates. They can enter garages, crawl spaces and houses in large numbers- any place they don't have to climb something slick to get in. The majority of hobo bites take place in September; around October the adult males die off. The females make their egg cases –usually outside- and then die in November. Most spiders are harmless to humans and are beneficial in that they eat lots of pest insects, but hobo spiders are a different matter.
The hobo spider, Tegenaria agrestis, was brought over from Europe to the port of Seattle in the 1930s. In Europe it has competitor species and is not a problem to humans; in the US, it has free run and enters houses. It's spread throughout the Inland Northwest, into Montana, Idaho, Wyoming and Utah. This is the spider that used to be called the Aggressive House Spider because it would run at people when startled. It turned out that they really aren't aggressive, but see very poorly and are apt to run right at the thing that is scaring them. Small comfort when one is running up your arm, as one did this morning! click here to read more

A couple days ago, pistonpowered had a link to yet another story about reviving the potential melo-to-nets trade, this one mentioning the pistons as a potential fit (similar to something I posted a couple weeks ago).
this pistons team doesn't have a starting power forward, especially with jonas out, and they don't know who their point guard is. in an effort to solve both of these problems, along with all the other teams problems too:
pistons get: lawson, kmart, gerald henderson, humphries (waived so as to remain at 15 players)
nuggets get: favors, tayshaun, murphy, nazr mohammed
nets get: melo, diaw, stuckey, matt carroll
bobcats get: devin harris, rip
...pistons get the power forward of this year, the point guard of the future, and don't have to pay 2 shooting guards. financial flexibility in the future regardless of any changes to salary cap. probably creates a situation where daye and lawson start, which makes me giddy.
the nuggets would give up lawson but be arguably better this year, really deep up front (to battle the lakers), and have favors to build around after chauncey, tayshaun, and murphy get old and/or leave. still have the competent, if aging, anthony carter to back up chauncey. they would save a few bucks in luxury tax this year, with all kinds of money expiring next summer. also, kmart wants to leave because they didn't offer him a new contract.
the nets are apparently willing to do whatever is necessary to get melo. I don't understand this, but whatever. a backcourt of 2 combo-ish guards (stuckey and terrence williams) might be kind of cool.
bobcats solve their "larry brown 'freaking out' without a PG" problem, and would be willing to take on rip's money because michael jordan still doesn't understand the salary cap.

PORT-AU-PRINCE (BP)--A Haitian prosecutor Thursday charged 10 members of a Baptist volunteer team with child kidnapping and criminal association for allegedly not following the law in attempting to transport 33 children into the Dominican Republic.
Haitian Deputy Prosecutor Jean Ferge Joseph then handed the case to an investigative judge, Reuters news service reported.
"That judge can free you but he can also continue to hold you for further proceedings," he told the group, comprised of five men and five women who were arrested Jan. 29.
The charges carry prison terms of up to 15 years, The New York Times reported.
The case has garnered national and international attention and has adoption and Christian aid agencies concerned it could tarnish their work. The 10 volunteers maintain they are innocent. A Haitian pastor who assisted the team told the Associated Press that the volunteers had permission from parents of children in the group who were not orphans to transport them into the Dominican Republic and into an orphanage there. The pastor, Jean Sainvil, described the controversy as a misunderstanding stemming from the volunteers not having the needed paperwork for the children. Sainvil said the Baptist volunteers were acting "with a good heart."
Prior to the Thursday hearing, group leader Laura Silsby told a group of reporters, "We're just trusting God for a positive outcome." Southern Baptist Convention leaders, including SBC President Johnny Hunt and Executive Committee President Morris H. Chapman, have urged Southern Baptists to pray for the jailed volunteers.
Gil Lain, senior pastor of Paramount Baptist Church in Amarillo, Texas -- where one of the volunteers, Jim Allen, is a member -- said in a statement Wednesday on the church's website that the volunteers' goal simply was to "take care of "the least of these" (Matthew 25:40), just as Jesus said." He also discounted accusations that the 10 volunteers knew what they were doing was wrong.
"Here's what you may not have heard or read: They spent three days getting the proper paperwork in order," Lain said. "The problem arose when they got to the border and still lacked something due to a change in the laws."
Allen's wife, Lisa, told CNN's "Larry King Live" she has not spoken with her husband since he was arrested.
"I think it's a big misunderstanding that's kind of been blown out of proportion," she said. "Their intentions were to go there and help the kids that were in need."
The families of the volunteers released a brief statement Wednesday that read in part, "Our hearts and prayers continue to go out to our family members who are being held in Haiti. We are concerned and worried about them, but the two governments need time to work this out."
P.J. Crowley, a spokesman for the U.S. State Department, was quoted in a CNN.com report as saying American and Haitian officials are "working to try to ascertain what happened [and] the motive behind these people."
"Clearly, there are questions about procedure as to whether they had the appropriate paperwork to move the children," Crowley said.
Silsby was seen in several video interviews Feb. 1 and Jan. 31, which were permitted by authorities, as stating that the group had thought their plans were in order for transporting the children into the Dominican Republic until they were stopped by Haitian guards at the border between the two countries.
Silsby, in a Feb. 1 interview with a CNN reporter, said, "We believe that we have been charged very falsely with trafficking, which of course that is the furthest possible extreme, because, I mean, our hearts here - we literally all gave up, you know, everything we had, I mean, income, used of our own funds to come here and help these children and by no means are any part of that horrendous practice."
Of the 33 children the team was seeking to aid, Silsby said, "They really didn't have any paperwork. This is, again, probably a misunderstanding on my part, but I did not really understand that that would really need to be required."
Told by the CNN reporter that at least 10 of the children had a mother or father and a telephone number, Silsby said, "I can tell you our heart and our intent was to help only those children that needed us most, that they had lost either both mother and father, or had lost one of their parents and the other parent had abandoned them."
Silsby is a member of Central Valley Baptist Church in Meridian, Idaho, as are group members Charisa Coulter, Carla Thompson and Nicole and Corinna Lankford. Three detainees are from Eastside Baptist Church in Twin Falls, Idaho: pastor Paul Thompson, his son Silas and church member Steve McMullen. The other detainees are Allen and Drew Culberth, a firefighter who also is an assistant youth pastor at Bethel Baptist Church in Topeka, Kan. Bethel Baptist is the only church not affiliated with the Southern Baptist Convention.
Hunt, the SBC president, released the following statement Tuesday, Feb. 2:
"We lift up in prayer the ten volunteers from Baptist churches detained by the Haitian government. Our hearts go out to their families and churches as they face the uncertainty of the day-by-day health and well-being of their loved ones. We are grateful for the efforts of the U.S. State Department to provide services for these brothers and sisters in Christ, praying that our government will be able to work with the Haitian government to effect an amicable resolution to this tense situation.
"We also applaud the efforts of our state convention Disaster Relief teams, NAMB, and IMB in their immediate and timely responses to the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Haiti. They are working closely with other disaster organizations and with governmental entities in Haiti to bring resources to those who are in need. While we know that the Convention cannot require any church to coordinate its local church ministries with Convention ministries, we strongly encourage all cooperating Baptist churches planning ministry trips to Haiti to contact their respective state conventions and our two mission boards, which are working together to provide ministry to this devastated region."

There are some 200 hillforts and other settlements in the world which evidence signs of being subjected to intense heat. Such burned forts range in age from Neolithic to Roman period. The heating was so extreme that all, some or part of the structures were vitrified or calcined. Vitrification is a chemical process by which silicate-based rocks are turned into a glass-like amorphous solid; calcination is the loss of moisture, reduction or oxidation in carbonate rocks.
Granite, basalt, gneiss or other silicate rocks begin to crystallize at temperatures about 650°C, and melt and vitrify when exposed to temperatures between 1050 and 1235°C. Biotite micas melt at 850°C. Carbonate rocks such as limestone and dolomite become calcined when exposed to temperatures of 800°C.
Why Vitrify?
In some cases, vitrification of timber-laced ramparts was done on purpose, to produce a more solid defensive feature. In others, vitrification was a result of an accidental or purposeful fire by people bent on destruction.
Vitrified forts (or vitrified structures) are difficult to date, because exposure to such intense heat destroys the organic materials, although recent research at Misericordia (Portugal) seems to suggest that archaeomagnetic dating may be a workable solution.

Portland police fired tear gas into a hotel room near the airport early Thursday morning as a three-hour standoff with a wanted man came to an end.Police said 34-year-old James Tautfest refused to leave the hotel room at Travelodge in the 3800 block of Northeast 82nd Avenue. The standoff began at about 12:30 a.m., and officers feared he was armed.A motel guest said he woke up to dogs barking and police telling everyone to get out.
During the standoff, Tautfest kicked a hole in a hotel wall, entered an adjacent attic and crashed through it, falling in the weight room below, police said. He then climbed back up and crawled back into the motel room. Tautfest was high on meth at the time, police said.
A negotiator made a phone call to the room and spoke to Tautfest for about two hours. When negotiations stalled, at about 3:45 a.m., SERT officers moved in and fired tear gas into the room. Tautfest eventually gave up and surrendered to police.
The suspect's mother confirmed to FOX 12 that Tautfest was wanted on a fugitive warrant for identity theft.
U.S. marshals also said Tautfest had multiple warrants out for his arrest, and he recently fled from Kelso police by jumping out the window of another hotel. In that instance, a gun was recovered from the room where Tautfest had been staying, marshals said.
Out of concerns that he was armed again, authorities called in SERT to arrest Tautfest. No gun was found inside this time.
Tautfest is now being held in the Multnomah County Jail on charges of identity theft, forgery, theft and possession of a controlled substance out of Washington state.

Does that mean we'll see a mass migration to 64-bit databases? "As usual, most enterprise customers will probably take a very cautious approach," says Al Gillen, research director for system software at IDC. "Most won't rush in unless they absolutely have to for performance and scalability reasons, especially if it's a deep software stack on top of the operating system. They'll be too concerned about software incompatibilities." Gillen adds that many will wait for Longhorn to make the 64-bit transition and kill two birds with one stone.
But Insight64 analyst Nathan Brookwood disagrees. "There's always that initial reluctance, but the payoff is humongous, especially if you look at Oracle and IBM pricing schemes," he says. "If you can run the same workload on a dozen 64-bit processors that takes 50 or 100 processors on a 32-bit machine, you'll be highly motivated."
Another category that can benefit significantly from all that memory is thin client computing using solutions such as Citrix Presentation Server or Microsoft Terminal Services, which require a certain allocation of memory per user. "You can get 170 percent more Terminal Services users on a single server with Windows 2003 Server x64 than you can with 32-bit Windows," says Bob Kelly, general manager of infrastructure server marketing at Microsoft. Citrix similarly estimates the benefit as anywhere from 65 to 300 percent more users as 32-bit versions of Presentation Server.
Microsoft and AMD point to another database-centric category: messaging. "Many organizations don't like to run lots of Exchange users on a single server, but if you do, a 64-bit platform makes a lot of sense," says Margaret Lewis, AMD's commercial marketing strategist.
Microsoft's Kelly agrees. "There's a real benefit [to 64-bit computing] in Exchange in terms of being able to consolidate servers and mailboxes. It's also easier to give end-users much larger mailboxes," he says.
In fact, Microsoft is forcing the issue. Its upcoming Exchange Server 12 will be available only in a 64-bit version, as will Windows Compute Cluster 2003.
The other principal benefit to the new generation of 64-bit processors is that they add eight additional general-purpose registers to the x86 design, for a total of 16. All of the general-purpose registers have also been upgraded from a width of 32 bits to 64 bits. In addition, there are also eight new 128-bit registers, called XMM registers.
Again, for applications and tasks that are not register-intensive, this is not particularly relevant. What is? "Anything graphic intensive, such as modeling applications for financial markets and the aeronautics industry," says Red Hat's Carr. Add technical applications, including high-performance design, 3-D animation, mechanical CAD/CAE, 3-D rendering, and high-end digital video editing to the list. Many of these applications also use large data sets and would benefit significantly from the extra memory addressing.
Digital media management company Agnostic Media has increased media transcoding performance 40 percent following a move to 64-bit Opteron systems. They've also seen a 200 percent performance increase for database transactions after moving from Microsoft SQL Server 2000 to SQL Server 2005, according to CEO Jason Turner.

Every day on the planet Earth, hundreds of tons of meteorites enter our atmosphere.
Most of these objects are smaller than an average human fingernail, and burn up once inside our atmosphere.
But sometimes the meteorites are massive enough to punch through and collide with the
surface of our planet.
What came to be known as Odysseus' Comet was assumed by the astronomers to be a meteorite
of this latter type.
But the astronomers were very wrong.
Soon after entering our atmosphere, Odysseus' Comet exploded over the western hemisphere,
and the results were catastrophic.
No one knows even now what substance the meteorite was made of, but we do know all too well its effects.
The explosion of light from Odysseus scorched vegetation that took years to grow back,
caused hideous sunburns on humans and animals alike, and wiped out wireless communications for weeks.
But these were not the worst.
The blast was so bright that it instantly blinded
every person not in a sealed room or underground.
This amounted to nearly eighty percent of the population of the western hemisphere.
Because of this, the economy of the Americas nearly collapsed, and had it not been for the help of
the blind community, people that knew how to live life without sight,
the results would have certainly been far worse.
It has taken many years, but a balanced civilization has re-emerged, a civilization led and controlled by the blind.
Every civilization needs its distractions, and amongst the blind majority, our main recreation is Rail Racing.
Across the western hemisphere, we have set up tracks for our high speed sport.
These tracks aren't like the old asphalt tracks of the 21st century.
Our tracks are built on rails, with each racer assigned to a single rail as they maneuver around the course.
The racer itself is a highly advanced sealed pod, in which the driver
reclines as they operate the machine.
The racer gives constant feedback to the driver as they race, letting them know the status of all systems of the racer.
In addition, each driver has a pit chief that informs them when it is time to come into the pits for refueling and repairs.
You can read the game instructions here:
Rail Racer Instructions
If you would like to join the ranks of the Rail Racers, read on.
Rail Racer can be controlled via a combination of the mouse, keyboard and joystick.
Although you can play using only the keyboard if you like, a mouse or joystick is highly recommended for best control.
Using the mouse, the driver will accelerate and deccelerate by pushing and pulling the mouse up and down respectively.
Likewise, you will need to lean into the curves accurately to maintain low lap times.
Gears are switched up and down with the left and right mouse buttons.
The tracks include hurdles which must be jumped by engaging your jump jets. This is handled by holding down the spacebar or middle mouse button, engaging the jump jets to get you over the hurdle.
If you don't clear the jump, you will crash, this is bad.
If you spend too much time in the air, you will add precious seconds to your lap time. This is bad.
Jumps take a careful timing balance, and is one of the most crucial parts of the game to assure good lap times.
Additionally, depending on which track you are racing, you may have to deal with loops that will challenge your timing.
Between races, you will have the option to purchase nitro, which will give you a temporary boost in speed.
Be careful though, because nitro is expensive, and you may spend more money than you earn if you wear out the nitro button.
Speaking of money, you will earn money for winning races, with more money earned for taking on harder competition and more difficult tracks.
Various system readings such as speed, rpm, current gear, and remaining fuel can also be checked via the keyboard.
Extensive documentation will accompany the full release of the game.
Your suggestions, questions and comments are welcome, please email me at email@example.com
and I will most definately read and respond to you as soon as possible. If you have an idea that would make the game better, feel free to send it on.

MUNCIE – Communities are using tax abatements to spur business expansion or attract new firms, but the process may be the cause of higher property tax rates overall and cost millions in lost tax revenue, says a new report from Ball State University.
In "Local Tax Abatement," Ball State's Center for Business and Economic Research (CBER) casts significant doubt on the efficacy of Indiana's system of property tax abatements in creating jobs, increasing the tax base or controlling property tax rates.
"Our analysis found that either abatements are leading to higher taxes for other taxpayers within a county or that high existing property tax rates lead to heavier use of property tax abatements," said Michael Hicks, CBER director, who co-authored the study with Dagney Faulk, CBER's research director.
In Indiana, the state legislature has authorized several types of tax abatement for use by local governments. These include breaks on taxes qualifying firms pay when they improve real estate and personal property. There are also credits on personal income tax for firms investing in specific locations or activity.
"We found that the frequency of use of abatements also tends to lead to higher local property tax rates for existing taxpayers," Hicks said. "For example, counties employing abatements sparingly and infrequently tend to see lower taxes. Counties offering more generous abatements tend to have higher tax rates for other existing households and businesses."
The current research follows up a recently released report "An Analysis of State and Local Tax Incentives", which examined actual job creation effects of incentives offered through the Indiana Economic Development Corp. (IEDC) and local governments from 2005-2012.
The previous research found that local tax abatements in Indiana have been far less effective than state-level programs, with about $30,000 in lost local tax revenue required for each new manufacturing job created, he said. The study found that local governments granted breaks on $50.78 billion in property value through the study period, or about $8.5 billion per year. At a 3 percent property tax rate, that is about $253 million in lost property tax revenue per year, or about $2.75 million per county per year.

We can do this.
I don't want to take away from what the Suns have done so far, but the Spurs are the more talented team - Phoenix has simply outhustled us so far. They have (to their credit) given their all on every play in the first two games, but it is difficult to keep that up over a seven game series, especially on the road. San Antonio is mentally strong and is well coached. If we can just cut down on the mental lapses and match or exceed their intensity we can beat them. We should be able to hold serve at home for the next two games and make this into a three game series. Of course, let's take one game at a time.
Intensity Intensity Intensity. There is a balancing act - we have to get a sense of urgency but not panic. These are the Spurs - they can do that.
Keep going to Timmeh. He has gotten younger just in time for the playoffs and the Suns cannot stop him.
Slow down the Canadian and the ageless Grant Hill. I loved what we did to start the second game - collapse in on Nash every time he has the ball. It is difficult to contain a guard as little guys have a lot more room to operate, but it is a good approach. I still have hope - Nash and Hill both have a lot of miles on them and it is difficult to keep up that sort of energy and focus forever, especially on the road.
Tony has to take control and dominate Fisher. The Suns have not been able to stop him and he needs to keep being aggressive. He has done that so far, no complaints there.
Somebody other than Tim Duncan has to start making threes. The big guy is trying to lead by example again, but honestly I would much prefer to see him go inside. Bonner is trying to go inside and I would much rather see him camp out on the three point line. The Suns are collapsing inside and making it difficult to drive. Bonner and Hill have to make them commit to defending the three to allow more room for Tony, Manu and RJ to penetrate. Yes, also to make more room for Duncan but he seems to do ok anyway. It is really disappointing that *both* of our designated three point shooters (Mason and Bonner) have disappeared in time for the postseason.
Mason needs to stay on the bench. Yes, I am still in meanie mode. We need his (supposed) shooting ability, but now more than ever we need players with confidence and swagger.
Rage has to sweat. He did that last game, no complaints there, just needs to keep doing that instead of taking every second game off. Yes, it would be nice if he made fewer mental errors, just like it would be great if Tony grew eight inches overnight and Manu suddenly sprouted his Rock Star hair back. RJ is who he is and I will take that when he is being aggressive.
Role players obviously need to step up, but I hesitate to make that a key as we cannot count on it and I honestly think we can win without their points if we can just ratchet up the defensive focus and intensity a bit.
Did I mention intensity yet?

Elder Law
What is Elder Law?
Elder Law is the practice of law devoted to taking care of the legal needs of the older person and/or the disabled person.
Elder Law blends the practice of law with some aspects of social work. An Elder Law attorney provides assistance for the legal needs in a holistic manner. The Elder Law attorney focuses on the legal needs of the older or disabled client and works with the client to meet his or her goals. Elder Law attorneys are compassionate about what they do and about their clients.
An Elder Law attorney is familiar with the problems encountered by the aging person and his or her family and understands the issues the client and his family face. The Elder Law attorney is patient and empathetic to the needs of the older and/or disabled person. Often times it is the children of the older person who may need the services of an Elder Law attorney to assist them with the needs of their parents or other older family members. Elder Law attorneys meet with Clients in the office, but also in the Client's home, hospital room, nursing home, or hospice center.
Elder law includes the following types of legal services:
- Estate planning
- Preservation of assets
- Medicaid
- Assistance with public benefits such as Medicare, Social Security Disability, Veterans Benefits, etc.
- Documents including Last Will and Testament, Durable Power of Attorney, Durable Power of Attorney for Health Care, Living Will, and Mental Health Durable Power of Attorney
- Trusts including administration and management of trusts
- Guardianship
- Assistance with housing issues
- Age discrimination in employment
- Nursing home issues
- Elder abuse including exploitation of assets
- Probate
- Planning for incapacity or disability
Elder Law encompasses various areas of legal practice. Consequently, the Elder Law attorney's area of expertise typically will include some, but not all, of the above legal services.
The national professional organization for Elder Law attorneys is called the National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys (NAELA). NAELA is dedicated to improving the quality of legal services provided to older clients. The web site for NAELA is http://www.naela.com/. Information about how to choose an Elder Law attorney can be found at this web site.
Attorney Kreiner is a certified Elder Law attorney. She devotes her practice of law to the needs of the elderly and the disabled. She is available to provide group presentations on "Elder Law" and "Assisting Your Parents to Plan for their Legal Needs."

Trusts & Estates
Rest Easy: Plan for the Inevitable
Posted Oct 29, 2007 10:28 AM CDT
By Martha Neil
Although lots of folks say they intend to plan for the inevitable, most don't.
Some 70 percent of Americans die without making a will or any other arrangement for distributing assets after their deaths—although, in some cases, that makes sense, reports the Los Angeles Times in a detailed article discussing estate planning options.
"You have to confront the fact that you're not going to be around. That's not a comfortable thing to think about," notes Eleanor Barkelew, 69, a resident of Torrance, Calif., who did face up to the need for estate planning after she married for the second time. "I have a lot of friends who are even older than I am, who keep saying they've really got to take care of these things. I'm afraid something is going to happen to them before they do."
For those without a lot of family issues, dying without a will may not be a problem because state law apportions the money among blood relations. But when there are multiple marriages, as in Barkelew's case, or feuding relatives, a will can be critical. Another option, too, that may be appropriate is avoiding probate by putting assets in trust, the newspaper notes.
Meanwhile, two other simple steps can help make the situation a lot easier for relatives and survivors: signing an appropriate power of attorney for health care, and making a list of assets.

First off, this is my first fanpost, though I've been a fan of the Nets since I arrived in New York in 2001, have been following NetsDaily since 2006 and officially became a member when Deron Williams became the face of the franchise. I've noticed alot of rash and ridiculous writing on the site, some people changing their opinions on players about four times each game, calling belligerently for them to be traded every day, others proposing random trade ideas to bring in star players while dismantling the whole roster basically every week. However, I've also read brilliant pieces of writing here, and I believe (incredibly) that the Nets have one of the most devoted fan bases in the league, as the activity on this site clearly demonstrates. I'm a football fan (that's soccer for you americans) and I can't help but notice the similarities between that sport and basketball. In soccer, arguably one of the greatest sports in existence, chemistry is the most essential element in a team: Barcelona (though they have the best player in the world, and other great ones too) is consistently better than Real Madrid, a star-studded squad, because they have had the same group of players around for at least three years, some of them knowing each other since they were kids (Barcelona's youth squad is the considered to be the best system in the world). This chemistry is what has led them to be great, trumping any random collection of talent.
Now, many people have been fuming over the lack of talent in the team this year. I have to agree that most of the players here aren't really prime-time basketball players (Johan Petro, Stephen Graham, Dan Gadzuric come to mind). But we can't allow ourselves to start panicking and beg the organisation to trade away most of the team, not that they would listen to us anyways. I've seen countless trade proposals shipping away Kris Humphries, Brook Lopez, Jordan Farmar, Anthony Morrow, basically everybody not named Deron Williams (and he's probably going to go through some paranoid Nets' fan espn trade machine next year). Now that the season is basically over, plans for next year are starting to sprout all over the blogosphere, and this is mine:
As you've probably realised by now, I'm against reshaping the whole roster. Wonder why we're not a good team? The only person who has been with the Nets for more than two years is Brook Lopez. Next comes Kris Humphries, who was here last year. The rest of the team has not even spent a whole year in New Jersey! Most of all the great teams around the league have a core that has been together for a long time. San Antonio is the best example. The Lakers, Celtics, Dallas also rely on a solid group of guys that have played with each other for a while (look up the teams that won a championship in the past decade). I think that chemistry is extremely underrated in the NBA, especially now with all the stars joining up in Miami and New York. I'll admit that we lack talent, but its not a reason to blow up everything and start again. We finally have our superstar, now we can make the team feel comfortable around him. I feel this core group of Williams, Humphries, Lopez, Morrow, Farmar, Gaines, James and Vujacic will be interesting to keep together. They all have talent, are team players and can fill a significant role in the team. Humphries said it himself: "Hopefully a lot of us are there to experience that." This season, though largely unsuccessful, laid the basis of what will be Brooklyn.
I think, like most people here, that we do need two or three quality pickups this offseason, be it through free agency or trades. A small forward is our top priority, since we're set with Morrow at shooting guard (he might be a tad bit one dimensional, but that's what shooting guards are for when you have a great PG-SF-C trio). I would love to have Thaddeus Young, he's a great team player, Avery loves him, and he knows how to play basketball. As for Vince Carter, I think it'd be great to have him back, mostly as a mentor to the younger players and because of his leadership abilities (he might be a choker, but I never saw that with the Nets, and he had a great relationship with Brook).
Anyways, that's what sprung to my mind today, I believe the Nets have a great future, and that this season was just a small bump on the road to the championship we'll win in five years. I'm also very happy for all the "Loud and Proud" guys who came out (to the game) yesterday.
You stay classy, Nets Fans

With the 19-21, 21-17 and 17-15 victory in 64 minutes, Brazilians advance to their second-straight SWATCH-FIVB World Tour gold medal match and third this season. Top-seeded Misty May and Kerri Walsh of the United States played third-seeded Ana Paula Connelly and Sandra Pires of Brazil in second-semi-final match Saturday.
The semi-final winners will play for the fifth gold medal on the 2004 SWATCH-FIVB World Tour with the victorious team sharing the $27,000 first-place prize with the loser splitting $18,000. The bronze medal match will provide the winner with a $14,000 share of the third-place prize.
"This was a good win for us," said Behar after the match. "We lost our focus in the first-set after gaining three- and four-point leads. We felt bad since we were controlling the play. We regained our focus in the second set. The third set was close and we were able to take advantage of the American mistakes."
The Saturday's semi-final match was the 11th meeting between the two teams on the SWATCH-FIVB World Tour since 2002. Adriana and Shelda avenged a 21-18 and 21-18 setback to McPeak and Youngs in the Greece semi-final last month. The Brazilians now lead the series with McPeak and Youngs 6-5 by winning six of the last seven meetings.
After leading 15-12 in the first set, the Brazilians gave up four-straight points to let McPeak and Youngs back into the set as the Americans won 21-19. Adriana and Shelda led throughout in posting a 21-17 second set win. With neither team leading by more than a point in the third set, the Brazilians rallied from a 14-13 deficit to score four of the last five points of the match.
For Adriana and Shelda, the gold medal berth is their 52nd in 84 SWATCH-FIVB World Tour events together. The Brazilians captured their 30th international crowd two weeks ago in Japan after May/Walsh partnership won the first two events in Brazil and Greece, and McPeak and Youngs won the gold medal in China.

Okay with everything going on this offseason, i've been watching a lot of college football, reading a lot of profiles on
players, and researching a lot of people's mock drafts and i think the Cardinals have a lot of potential to turn this
team from one of the worst, to one of the best in just one offseason. Until the combine, we don't know for sure who
will fall and who will rise, so this might all change drastically. As of right now, this is how i would draft if it started this
weekend. Thoughts? Comments? Cardinals banter?
Round 1: Taylor Lewan (OT, Michigan)
Lewan is an astounding pass blocker and has played LT his entire collegiate career. He is freakishly athletic for being 6'7'' and has shut down Jadaveon Clowney, the nation's top collegiate pass rusher. This pick secures the LT spot for pretty much the next decade or so (barring injury) allowing Levi Brown to move to a more natural guard position where he can maul interior lineman and open up running holes therefore making this pick a two-for.
Alternate picks: Chance Warmack (OG, Bama), Dion Jordan (OLB, Oregon)
Round 2: Tyler Wilson (QB, Arkansas)
With a new GM and Head Coach, they usually want their own quarterbacks. With Kolb being injury prone and the unlikeliness of Skelton/Lindley being back next year combined with the now improved offensive line, the Cardinals might select Wilson here to compete with Kolb and Hoyer.
Alternate picks: Kevin Minter (ILB, LSU), Barrett Jones (OL, Bama) Eddie Lacy (RB, Bama)
Round 3: Sean Porter (OLB A&M)
Porter is a fast, athletic machine. He is not the pass rusher Von Miller was during his tenure at A&M, but he is always around the ball and making tackles around the line of scrimmage. He is better as a run defender, having a knack for penetrating gaps and getting off blocks.
Alternate Picks: Phillip Thomas (SS, Fresno State) Aaron Murray (QB, UGA) David Amerson (CB/S, NCState)
Round 4: Mallciah Goodman (DE/OLB, Clemson)
With Goodman's performance against the mighty line of LSU in the Chik-fil-A Bowl, his stock might rise in the coming months, however, for this mock, he's going in round 4. Goodman doesn't have many sacks in his career, but he is always getting behind the line of scrimmage. If Dockett were to leave, he wouldn't be a bad choice considering he is 6'4'' 280, and being next to Campbell doesn't hurt either.
Alternate Picks: Le'Veon Bell (RB/Mich. State) Kenjon Barner (RB, Oregon)
Round 5: Omoregie Uzzi (OG, Ga. Tech)
I like the fact that he played in a triple option offense, because that means he knows how to open holes in the run game. Also seeing how we will know have depth on the line, with the additions of Potter and even Snyder potentially as back ups, he shouldn't have to worry about having to pass protect much, barring injuries to everyone else.
Round 6: Mario Benavides (C, Louisville)
Benavides has had a few injuries in his career which is going to lower his draft position, but he has all the physical tools to play center on any NFL team. He started all 12 games in 2012 and has 46 career starts. He earned Freshman All-American honors and made All-Big East twice. Another pick to shore up the offensively offensive line.
Round 7: Dustin Hopkins (K, FSU)
Why not?

text: N.J.: Bill Would Bar Employment-Related Credit Checks By Diane Cadrain 1/13/2014 A bill that would bar the practice of requiring credit checks as a condition of employment cleared the New Jersey Assembly Labor Committee in mid-December 2013 after having first passed the Senate in May 2013. Senate Bill 455 states that no employer or its agent may require, as a condition of employment, a credit report on a current or prospective employee if the report gives information about that person's credit score, credit account balances, payment history, savings or checking account balances, or savings or checking account numbers. Exceptions would include situations in which: *The employer is required by law to obtain a credit report. *The employer reasonably believes that the employee has engaged in a specific activity that is financial in nature and constitutes a violation of law. *The employer establishes credit history as a bona-fide occupational qualification, meaning one that: a. Is a managerial position that involves setting the financial direction or control of the business; b. Involves access to customers', employees', or employers' personal or financial information, other than information customarily provided in a retail transaction; c. Involves a fiduciary responsibility to the employer, including, but not limited to, the authority to issue payments, transfer money or enter into contracts; or d. Provides an expense account for travel. The legislation would also bar companies from requiring individuals to waive or limit any employment-related legal protections as a condition of employment and prohibits retaliation against employees or applicants who oppose violations of the act. People aggrieved by violations of this act may file court actions within one year and recover damages and injunctive relief. Additionally, employers found in violation will be required to pay civil penalties of up to $5000 for a first violation and $10,000 for subsequent violations. The New Jersey Business and Industry Association (NJBIA) opposes the measure, The Business and Industry Association argued the restriction is unnecessary. "The use of a credit check is just one tool to help employers assess the fitness of an individual for a particular job, NJBIA Assistant Vice President Stephanie Riehl told lawmakers in a hearing. "It's rare that an applicant doesn't get hired because of a credit check." Assemblywoman Shavonda Sumter defended the proposal, telling the Philadelphia web news source Newsworks that credit checks "state nothing of an [employee or applicant's] skill unless they're going to work in a financial institution. Some jobs don't even require you do to that, some jobs in customer service, some jobs in advocacy, and there are other sectors that a credit score does not determine your ability to get the job done." Sumter noted that people often see their credit scores drop when they are out of work, so it's unfair to make it harder for them to find that next job by counting it against them.

Life span: Born: January 7, 1800, Locke Port, New York.
Died: March 8, 1874, Buffalo, New York, at the age of 74.
Presidential term: July 8, 1850 - March 4, 1853.
Millard Fillmore was serving as vice president to President Zachary Taylor, and became the 13th President of the United States when Taylor died of a digestive illness.
Accomplishments: Fillmore's administration is closely tied to the intense political battling over slavery which led to the passage of the Compromise of 1850.
As the various bills which would become the compromise were being debated in the U.S. Senate, Fillmore was serving as vice president, and thus presided over much of the debate. It was a very contentious time on Capitol Hill.
After Fillmore became president he sent a message to Congress urging passage of the Compromise of 1850 and he eventually signed the various components into law.
Supported by: Fillmore was supported by the Whig Party during the years of his greatest political influence.
Opposed by: Being affiliated with the Whigs, Fillmore was generally opposed by the Democratic Party of Andrew Jackson and his successors.
Presidential campaigns: Fillmore was not elected to the presidency, but rather to the vice presidency. And as the candidacy of his running mate, Zachary Taylor, was largely based on Taylor having been a hero of the Mexican War, Fillmore did not play much of a role in the campaign.
After becoming president, Fillmore was not highly motivated to run for a term on his own. However, he reluctantly attempted to gain the Whig nomination for the election of 1852. In an epic brokered convention, Fillmore lost out to General Winfield Scott, whom the Whigs nominated on the 53rd ballot.
Fillmore, in 1856, after the Whig Party had essentially fallen apart, ran for president again as the candidate of the Know-Nothing Party. His campaign was disastrous, perhaps one of the worst presidential campaigns in history.
Spouse and family: Fillmore married Abigail Powers on February 5, 1826. They had two daughters.
Abigail Fillmore caught a cold at the inauguration ceremony for Fillmore's successor, President Franklin Pierce, on March 4, 1853. Her condition worsened, and she died on March 30, 1853, at a hotel in Washington, D.C.
Education: Fillmore was apprenticed to a cloth maker in his youth, but also attended schools and was able to study law under a judge in New York State.
Early career: Taking a job as a clerk in a law office in 1822, Fillmore was able to gain enough practical experience to be admitted to the bar in 1823. He established himself as a lawyer, and through an affiliation with publisher Thurlow Weed, a powerful figure in New York State politics, Fillmore entered the political realm.
Running on the ticket of the Anti-Masonic Party, a short-lived but popular political party of the time, Fillmore was elected to the New York State assembly in 1829.
As an Anti-Mason, Fillmore was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives in 1833, and the following year he joined the young Whig Party. As a Whig congressman in the early 1840s Fillmore chaired the powerful House Ways and Means Committee.
Fillmore ran for governor of New York in 1844 and lost, but was elected to a statewide office, New York comptroller, in 1847.
In 1848 Fillmore became a leading contender for the vice presidential slot on the ticket with Mexican War hero Zachary Taylor. Fillmore actually had little influence on Taylor's administration, though he became president when Taylor became ill and died in July 1850.
Later career: After leaving politics, Fillmore returned to New York State. During the Civil War he commanded a local militia group formed as a home guard unit. He also helped to found the Buffalo Historical Society and participated in other civic pursuits.
Death and funeral: Fillmore died on March 8, 1874, after suffering a stroke. He was buried at Forest Lawn Cemetery in Buffalo, New York.
Legacy: Like most presidents in the two decades before the Civil War, Fillmore struggled with a nation that was essentially tearing itself apart. But his role in urging the passage of the Compromise of 1850 makes him stand out as someone who took an active role in the unfolding crisis, and at least helped to delay the Civil War by a decade.

Harbaugh doing the impossible with Smith
Last Sunday they played Improbable Bowl I at Ford Field in Detroit, and nothing was more improbable than that Alex Smith was in it, writes columnist Ron Borges.
49ers proceed into bye week with emotional coach
49ers players love the fiery demeanor of their head coach, Jim Harbaugh, even if it led to an awkward moment at the end of Sunday's game vs. the Lions.
Shorts and Shells: Week Six
In this week's edition, Jim Harbaugh and the Niners get physical; the Raiders and Cowboys make shaky calls; a marvelous streak remains intact; and plenty more.
49ers hand Lions first loss of the season
Alex Smith's fourth-down, 6-yard pass to Delanie Walker gave San Francisco the go-ahead touchdown with 1:51 left, lifting the 49ers to a 25-19 win over the previously unbeaten Lions.

San Francisco 49ers running back Kendall Hunter is the second player in two days to be lost for the year after he and wide receiver Kyle Williams were hurt on the same play in Sunday's win at New Orleans. The 49ers said Tuesday both players had been placed on season-ending injured reserve.||||||| Hunter is listed out with an ankle injury - though some of his teammates said he was undergoing treatment on his left Achilles tendon. NFC West-leading San Francisco (8-2-1) activated running back Jewel Hampton from the non-football injury list and added him to the 53-man roster.
Hunter carried the ball 12 times for 73 yards Saturday in a 19-17 win at Seattle. He added an 11-yard reception.||||||| Hunter is a solid No. 2 back behind Frank Gore who could be starting on other teams for sure.

Transmission Gear Slipping Problems of Toyota Matrix
Toyota Matrix owners have reported 2 problems associated with transmission gear slipping (under the power train category).
#1 - Transmission Gear Slipping problem of the 2003 Toyota Matrix
I have a 2003 Toyota Matrix auto transmission, that has 58,000 miles on it. A month ago the 1st and reverse gears started to slip and was hard to get into gear. I took it to the Toyota dealer and they said they couldn't find anything wrong. I left the dealer and it started again. 2 days later I was not able to get it in to reverse at all. I took it to a transmission shop since the 'check engine' light came on and they checked the codes and looked at the transmission. The engine needs to be rebuilt now and will cost me $2400. I love this car. I baby it all the time. I change the oil regular and always keep up on the maint. I don't understand how a transmission can go out on a car that is only 5 yrs. And 4 mo. Old and only 58,000 miles on it ! I did call Toyota and they said nothing was reported and all was fine. I asked them to pay for the fix and they said the warranty was only 5yrs. 60,000 miles. I'm over by 4 mo. I found a website that has about 10 other people with this same yr and make car that had transmission issues. This transmission gear slipping problem happened on 05/01/08.

PASCAGOULA, Mississippi --- After two days of ice followed by 52 scoreless minutes on Thursday night, it looked like Pascagoula's soccer team never would get warmed up.
But a pair of Griffin Sublett goals in a seven-minute span of the second half provided a little heat and sent the Panthers on to the second round of the 5A playoffs with a 2-0 victory over Picayune at War Memorial Stadium. Pascagoula travels to Laurel for a second-round game on Saturday.
"We finally got the game in and with the weather as bad as it's been, I think the guys' touch was a little off," Pascagoula coach Willie Denton said. "We took a lot of shots and we weren't that great on-target, but we kept them from shooting. The big thing was getting past this game, and moving on to the next."
Pascagoula (13-3-3) played smothering defense all night, holding Picayune (10-9) to just a handful of clean shots. The Maroon Tide's best scoring opportunity came early in the second half, when a free kick by the Maroon Tide's Tyler Polderman deflected off the hands of Panthers keeper Jackson Graham and over the cross bar.
Otherwise, the game was played nearly entirely in the Pascagoula half of the field. The Panthers had a few opportunities in the first half, but could not hit the net, and went to halftime in a scoreless tie.
"We had trouble getting it across midfield," Picayune coach David Mitchell said. "Pascagoula is a team that is notorious for taking shots 30-35 yards out, and that was part of our game plan to make them take low-percentage shots. That's what they did for the most part. I didn't think our center midfielders played very well tonight."
Twelve and one-half minutes into the second half, Sublett finally broke the deadlock by finding the top-left corner of the net following a throw-in from Lanis Lofton. The sophomore gave the Panthers all the cushion they would need seven minutes later when he connected on a long kick that hit the left post and ricocheted across and into the twine.
The 2-0 score held up the rest of way, giving Pascagoula its eight consecutive victory --- all by shutout. The Panthers have outscored their opponents 23-0 in that span.
"They only had the one shot that was on-target," Denton said. "As long as we keep them from shooting, we're in good shape. And we took a lot of shots. We got two in the hard way, but we got them in."
Saturday's kickoff time will be determined some time Friday, Denton said.

School-Sports Safety
« Previous | 2 of 2 | Next »
Protect Your Child
Being prepared -- and then playing it safe -- is the key to a healthy sports season. Follow these tips to keep your child off the bench:
- Book an appointment with your family physician before the season begins. The doctor should examine your teenager's bones and joints, check her heart rate and pulse, and test her reflexes to pick up on any problems that may put her at risk of injury and ensure that she's physically fit enough for the sport she intends to play, says Keith Gorse, a clinical coordinator and instructor in the undergraduate athletic-training program at Duquesne University in Pittsburgh. For example, if your daughter wants to try out for the gymnastics team, the doctor should check the range of motion, flexibility, and strength of her ankles and lower back. If your son is going out for track, your doctor should check his hamstring flexibility by having him do straight leg raises. Also ask the doctor to recommend a preseason stretching program.
- Make sure your son or daughter always wears proper protective gear, such as a helmet and shoulder pads for football and shin guards for soccer. Mouth guards should be worn for any type of contact or collision sport, says David Marshall, MD, medical director of the Sports Medicine Program at Children's Healthcare of Atlanta. Eye protection is also important in sports such as lacrosse.
- Don't let your teen play if he's in pain. While doing so might seem "heroic," it can make the injury worse and harder to treat, says Dr. Marshall. Pain, swelling, or limping is an indication that it's time for your teen to take a time-out and see the doctor.
- Be sure the coach knows first aid and CPR and always warms up the team before practice and has them cool down and stretch afterward.

Also on the federal front, and with an eye to the record-high number of Americans approaching retirement age, U.S. Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.) has put forth the Older Americans Act, which would offer a range of services to seniors, including improving nutrition, providing in-home care and offering senior-friendly transportation options, to help them "age in place." Other initiatives of the bill include empowering seniors through proficiency in technology and financial literacy.
"When seniors stay in their homes and maintain their independence, they live longer, healthier, happier lives and taxpayers save millions," said Ms. Gillibrand, a member of the Senate's Special Committee on Aging.
She noted 10,000 Baby Boomers nationally turn 65 every day and some 1.2 million New Yorkers will reach age 60 within five years. On Staten Island, there are currently 86,714 senior citizens; an estimated 31,253 Islanders will turn 60-plus by 2017. Source
Aging in Place
Where do you want to age?
It seems like an odd question—after all we age wherever we are, but more and more people are taking an active role in deciding where (and how) they will age.
I for one am choosing to age in place, in my place—my house of 20 years where I raised my children and where I made my home. In order to make this seemingly simple choice a reality however, it will take foresight and planning.
If you are planning on staying in your home as you age you need to take in to account a few things. Think about your home and whether it will be practical for your future needs.
