Secret CIA spy gadgets go public: photos
Summary: When you think CIA, the last word likely to come to mind is "open". And yet the US spy organisation has begun to lift the lid — albeit ever so slightly — in a bid to cultivate public support. In fact, the agency recently launched a retooled website, complete with YouTube and Flickr channels.

The Warner Bros. thriller, which also stars Jake Gyllenhaal, is among the first fall films with Oscar aspirations to open in theaters. It was a strong debut for a serious, R-rated drama that cost about $46 million to make.
Following the robust business for ōLee DanielsÆ The Butlerö (now up to $106.5 million in six weeks for the Weinstein Co.), the large audiences turning out for adult fare bodes well for HollywoodÆs coming awards season.
Directed by Denis Villeneuve, the nearly 2Ā 1/2 hour-long ōPrisonersö is about the working-class families of two young girls who are abducted. In a story heavy with allegory, Jackman plays a father willing to cross moral lines for justice. Gyllenhaal stars as the small-town police detective trying to navigate the case.
Dan Fellman, head of distribution for Warner Bros., said the audience was 74 percent under the age of 50, with only 8 percent under 18. The film, he noted, was launched ōvery similarlyö to Warner Bros.Æs October-released ōArgo,ö which, like ōPrisoners,ö premiered at the Telluride Film Festival and then the Toronto International Film Festival.
In limited release, two other adult-oriented films opened well. Ron HowardÆs Formula One tale ōRushö opened in five theaters with a $40,000 per-screen average. And the romantic comedy ōEnough Said,ö which co-stars James Gandolfini in one of his final performances, opened in four theaters with a per-screen average of $60,000. Both films expand next week.
ōPrisoners,ö ōRushö and ōEnough Saidö have all received good reviews.
ōA few years ago, people were saying that the adult drama is dead,ö said Paul Dergarabedian, box-office analyst for Hollywood.com. ōWeÆre just seeing a change. Now weÆre finding that intersection between good movies that are also generating big box office.ö
Estimated ticket sales for Friday through Sunday at U.S. and Canadian theaters, according to Hollywood.com. Where available, latest international numbers for Friday through Sunday also are included. Final domestic figures will be released today.
1. ōPrisoners,ö $21.4 million ($500,000 international).
2. ōInsidious: Chapter 2,ö $14.5 million ($3.5 million international).
3. ōThe Family,ö $7 million ($1.5 million international).
4. ōInstructions Not Included,ö $5.7 million ($9.6 million international).
5. ōBattle of the Year,ö $5 million.
6. ōWeÆre the Millers,ö $4.7 million ($9.6 million international).
7. ōLee DanielsÆ the Butler,ö $4.3 million ($2.2 million international).
8. ōRiddick,ö $3.7 million ($9.4 million).
9. ōWizard of Oz,ö $3 million.Ā
10.Ā ōPlanes,ö $2.9 million ($7 million international).
'Prisoners' tops box office with $21.4 million

How to Trim Rabbit Toenails
Do you love holding your pet rabbit, but get scratched because of long and sharp nails? Well, read on to learn how to fix that problem.
1Buy scissors like toenail clippers for shorter haired breeds. Dog toenail clippers are recommended, but human ones are acceptable and some are made for rabbits specifically.Ad
2Calm your bunny and have a helper hold it. Make sure that the rabbit isn't or won't get frightened; ask the helper to hold it so you can access the rabbit's nails.
3Find the part of your rabbit's nail that is red. This is called the quick. Be careful to avoid this while trimming, since it will bleed if cut.
4Put the clippers about half of a centimeter away from the end of the red part. Slowly and carefully clip the tip of the nail.Ad
We could really use your help!

- If you cut too close to the quick, the nail will start bleeding. If it does bleed, put cornstarch on the nail.
- It's recommended to keep cornstarch on hand in case you accidentally cut the quick.

I like how apple valley and dr thompson write raving reviews all in a short time frame.They are pathetic.
They were awesome with my kids! My youngest has had some bad dental experiences in the past and they were so fun towards her and put her at ease. Staff was very knowledgable and nice. Couldn't be happier with the service.
I took my kids in and they thought is was really fun. I was impressed by the dentist, but the front desk girl wasn't the best to be honest. The rest of it is worth it though!

Report suggests ways to avoid repeat of Blizzard of 2011 fiasco
By Fran Spielman City Hall email@example.com June 20, 2011 2:22PM
More than 500 cars were stranded on Lake Shore Drive during the February blizzard that dumped 20.3 inches of snow on Chicago. The road was closed for 33 hours before tow trucks came for the vehicles. | Matt Marton~Sun-Times Media

Updated: September 24, 2011 12:23AM
After a five-month post-mortem about the Blizzard of 2011 fiasco, Chicago's top emergency officer was asked Monday how he intends to prevent another shutdown on Lake Shore Drive.
Gary Schenkel's answer had nothing to do with the 12-page report's proposal to install cuts in median planters along the Drive to provide access for emergency equipment and give stranded motorists a place to turn around.
Nor did Schenkel mention the city's decision to identify "systematic triggers" for shutting down Lake Shore Drive, install four additional cameras to bolster the 13 already monitoring conditions along the Drive or stage towing equipment along the lakefront when extreme weather is on the way.
"We're gonna pray a lot and hope that God doesn't dump another 40 inches of snow on us," said Schenkel, executive director of the city's Office of Emergency Management and Communications.
Asked whether anybody needs to be taken to the woodshed for what happened on Lake Shore Drive, Schenkel replied, "Absolutely not."
In fact, if he had it to do all over again, Schenkel said he would "probably not" close Lake Shore Drive before the storm hit. Instead, he would "wait for the situation to develop" as his predecessor did on Groundhog Day.
"As an outside observer from about 1,000 miles away, I thought this was a fantastic response to the unprecedented snowfall for 2011. Having suffered through a couple in Washington D.C. myself, I can certainly see a difference in the response within Chicago and out in the D.C. area," he said.
Jose Santiago, Schenkel's predecessor, argued that nothing could have prevented the Lake Shore Drive fiasco.
"There are a lot of cars on Lake Shore Drive. Shutting down Lake Shore Drive and putting all of those cars in the Central Business District — you'd be asking the question, 'Why did you do that?' " Santiago said.
"We made the best decisions around-the-clock in order not to create, possibly what happened in 1999 where the entire place was gridlocked."
The Groundhog Day blizzard that buried Chicago in 20.3-inches of snow left 525 vehicles stuck for hours on Lake Shore Drive.
Three accidents in 28 minutes — followed by ramp closures caused by high winds, drifting snow and white-out conditions — kept the Drive closed for 33 hours before a cavalcade of tow trucks removed the vehicles.
The event prompted questions about why the Drive wasn't closed to traffic before the storm, why it took the city up to 14 hours to rescue stranded motorists and why Chicago lacked a contingency towing and evacuation plan.
The 12-page report released Monday makes a series of recommendations to prevent a repeat performance.
In addition to median cuts, more cameras, staging towing equipment — possibly at Soldier Field or Millennium Park — and developing "clearly identified triggers" for a systematic shut down, the plan proposes that Mayor Rahm Emanuel:
◆ Stage CTA buses to be used as warming centers for pedestrians if an extreme weather event is anticipated and initiate CTA re-routes based on observed conditions.
◆ Develop a parking plan for towed vehicles and reiterate this plan to private tow contractors.
◆ Identify alternate shelters (north, south, central and west) close to CTA train stations.
◆ Explore the possibility of issuing "interoperable radios" to responding personnel and purchasing towing equipment capable of removing large buses like the articulated buses that brought the Drive to a standstill.
◆ Keep a list of truck contractors available with National Incident Management Systems classified equipment and resources.
Asked to pinpoint the recommendation he considers most important, Schenkel said, "The biggest thing that we learned from this is that there's limited access for emergency responders on Lake Shore Drive. ...If there's anything that we need to really take a hard look at, it's that."

Students visit nursing homes on new rotation
Dental students and dental hygiene students are teaming up on a new rotation that provides care to patients in local nursing homes.
Two D4 dental students and two dental hygiene students accompany Dr. Patricia Skur, assistant professor in public health sciences, to one of 13 local nursing homes on Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons.
The nursing home rotation began as an option for dental students in the spring 2007 semester. The idea came from Skur, who provides care herself at the homes. She worked with Dr. Dan Jones, professor and chair of public health sciences, to establish a student rotation.
"Many of the students who participated that spring enjoyed their experience, so we decided to incorporate it into our rotation schedule in the fall 2007 semester," Skur says.
Near the completion of the rotation's first year, leaders from the dental hygiene program expressed interest in joining the rotation. JoAnn Scofield, dental hygiene associate professor and clinic coordinator, organizes the dental hygiene students' participation.
"We gave the students the responsibility to determine which services they could provide that would help the patients," Scofield says. "This includes brushing their teeth, cleaning their removable appliances, performing oral health education, or just providing a smile and a little company. The students took the initiative to visit each room to see what they could do.
"The nursing home rotation has been such a good experience," Scofield says. "I am very proud of the students."

Elected in 1992
"For leadership in chemical engineering research and the application of advanced mathematical and numerical methods."
WARREN EARL STEWART, McFarland-Bascom Professor Emeritus of Chemical and Biological Engineering at the University of Wisconsin, died on March 27, 2006, after a long and distinguished career. Warren was born in Whitewater, Wisconsin, on July 3, 1924, to Earl and Avis Stewart. He received both B.S. and M.S. degrees at Wisconsin, in 1945 and 1947, and the Sc.D. in 1951 at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). All of his degrees were in chemical engineering. While an undergraduate at Wisconsin, he gained fame as the first student in the history of the College of Engineering to graduate with a straight-A academic record. His MIT experience introduced him to numerical analysis and computational techniques, which proved to be essential at the dawn of the electronic computer age.
In World War II, Warren enlisted in the U.S. Naval Reserve (1944–1946). He returned to Wisconsin as a Navy engineering trainee under the V-12 Program, and after graduation served as a communications officer on the aircraft carrier USS Midway. In 1947 he married Jean Durham Potter, who later was alderman for the city of Madison for 16 years (1977–1993). They had six children and 18 grandchildren.
After five years at the Sinclair Research Laboratories, Warren Stewart joined the faculty of the Department of Chemical Engineering at the University of Wisconsin in 1956, where he taught until 1997. As chairman of the department (1973–1978), he re-

April 2009
by METRO Staff
Two new services enabling transit agencies to supply riders with quick access to bus arrival information by cell phone are becoming available.
OneBusAway, created by University of Washington (UW) graduate students Brian Ferris and Kari Watkins, is a new tool that lets King County Metro Transit (Metro) riders to keep track of their bus.
Ferris and Watkins based OneBusAway on MyBus, a tracking technology developed in the 1990s, by Dr. Daniel Dailey, a professor in the UW electrical engineering department.
Ferris and Watkins built onto MyBus by creating a Web page for users to get bus stop information and an e-mail address that they can access to get real-time information. "[The information] was not really useable when you were standing at the stop wondering when your bus is going to come," Ferris noted.
To use the service, a rider calls from a cell phone and punches in a stop number. A message then plays the real-time arrival data for the buses approaching that stop.
Ferris and Watkins began the project last June and worked for about a month-and-a-half to get the initial site launched. Since then, Ferris devotes a couple hours a week to site maintenance.
The system runs on two components: real-time tracking data that Ferris gets from a feed and the underlying transit database, which he uses to add time tables and route maps. He received special permission from Metro to use a copy of their transit database. "It's kind of similar in spirit to a lot of transit agencies that are already starting to publish GPS feeds," said Ferris. "A lot of them are realizing that people like me, and [many] other motivated individuals, can do some really interesting things with them, and it's money that they don't have to spend, but still get results to the transit users."
The site has evolved organically, with more features offered, based on user feedback. Utilizing the open source software, anyone can submit bug fixes, code patches and feature requests, such as seeing multiple stops or two routes at once, and the team works to implement them.
Ferris is currently applying for a Transportation Research Board (TRB) idea grant to pay for further development. "TriMet and the Chicago Transit Authority (CTA) have great Websites and tools for their users, but not every transit agency has those resources. Our goal is to give it away as cheaply as possible to anybody who will use it," said Ferris.
With OneBusAway, any agency will be able to simply plug in their data and immediately get a Website that provides a trip planner, real-time arrival data, service alerts and commute tools that answer questions, including "If I work downtown, what neighborhoods can I get to in 30 minutes by bus for my morning and evening commute?"
Ferris says that his work on the service came out of his own need to make riding public transit easier. "I don't own a car, I ride the buses all the time, so…it's kind of self-motivated, but at the same time…people really react positively."
Meanwhile, Port Authority of Allegheny County (Pa.) bus riders can now use Route Shout, a system similar to OneBusAway.
Bus riders are able to text the bus and the stop code listed on a sign at the stop to find out which buses are coming in the next hour. Both the route name and the time are provided.
The creator, Pittsburgh-based software development company, Deep Local, worked with the Port Authority, took their Google Transit feed and converted their schedule times to text message-based rider communication. The Authority placed signs at 22 stops in areas of town where they think they'll get the most usage, including college and shopping areas.
The system does not require transit authorities to use any hosted software, explained David Evans, the Authority's chief technology officer. "We host everything and integrate it as much as we can. We want it to be…similar to a cell phone plan for authorities. It's totally self-service and easy to try out." Once the agency is ready to expand to other stops, they will just need to put up more signs.
In addition to the pilot, Deep Local plans to offer an application to smaller authorities that don't have the in-house technology to provide rider communication.
"We really just want to be the lowest barrier to entry to get that information to people on a device that almost everybody owns," said Evans.
While bus tracking may not be "cool" data, according to Evans, he sees ample opportunity. "We don't see a lot of people really targeting it, but we think it…has a lot of room in it for a young generation, for riders especially."

1996 Ford Taurus Problems
The engine oil pan gasket can develop a leak. Leaking oil may accumulate on the exhaust system resulting in a burning smell. Replacing the gasket should correct this leak.
The magnet for the camshaft position sensor may fall out of its mount and damage the synchronizers. This causes long crank times when starting the engine and may cause the Check Engine Light to illuminate. If this happens, both the magnets and the synchronizers need to be replaced.
The synchronizer shaft for the camshaft position sensor can cause a loud squeak or chirping noise due to failure of the upper bushing. The noise may be erratic and is usually present when the engine is warm.

1996 Ford Taurus Recalls
Ford has recalled certain 1996 Taurus and Mercury Sable vehicles that have had a fuel tank replaced as part of Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) 97-17-9. An 18-gallon tank was mistakenly installed instead of 16-gallon tank. The tank also has a second valve location where a shipping plug is installed, which could leak and possibly start a fire. Dealers will replace the tank with the correct unit.
Ford has recalled certain 1996 Taurus, Mercury Sable, and Lincoln Continental vehicles for a concern with the transmission park mechanism. In some vehicles, the park pawl is not rotating as necessary to enter the park gear. This could cause the vehicle to roll out of control. Dealers will inspect the park pawl shaft for rotation. Shafts with restricted rotation will have a shorter shaft installed that will not restrict rotation.
Ford has recalled certain 1996 Taurus vehicles for an inspection of the fuel pressure regulator. Some fuel pressure regulators were damaged during manufacturing, causing a possible diaphragm rupture and fuel leak, which can lead to a fire. Dealers will inspect the fuel pressure regulator and replace suspect units.

text: Why Republicans Should Not Vote for Gary Johnson Print article Send a Tip by William Bigelow 7 Sep 2012 post a comment For any Republicans who might think of voting for Gary Johnson, the Libertarian candidate, it might be wise to consider some of the positions he's taken. As a libertarian, Johnson tends to see things in terms of black and white, and nuances are lost on him. Example #1: How do we extract information from terrorists who want us all dead? Johnson feels we should ask them politely if they would mind revealing their secrets. He opposes "physical or psychological torture" for any "criminal or terrorist suspect captured by the U.S." Forget the fact that the information we got to find Osama Bin Laden and other Al Qaeda operatives was obtained through less polite methods. Example #2: How strong should our national defense be? Johnson wants to cut our military budget nearly in half; he stated he would cut the defense budget by 43%. Example #3: Are we really done with al Qaeda? When he was asked, "Do you oppose current U.S. military intervention in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Libya and, if so, on what moral grounds?" Johnson replied: I do. In all three cases, I don't see a military threat. I initially thought the intervention in Afghanistan was warranted—we were attacked and we attacked back—but we've wiped out Al Qaeda and here we are; we're still there. Interviewer: Isn't there evidence that we merely drove Al Qaeda from Afghanistan into Pakistan? Johnson: Sure. Example #4: Is China a threat? Johnson, in Mother Jones, August 1, 2011: When people understand that the United States spends 52 cents out of the worldwide dollar on military spending and that China spends 9 cents, what arms race are we gonna engage them in? I mean really, is China a threat? No, they're not. Example #5: Is Iran a threat? Johnson: "There is not a military threat … if it's not a military threat I would use all the power I had as president of the United States to not see Israel attack Iran." Example #6, from the Huffington Post, October 21, 2011, on the Occupy Movement: And maybe instead of dismissing or trying to manipulate the Occupiers to partisan advantage, we should all just go join them. All we need to agree about is that the status quo sucks. Example #7, on gay marriage, from garyjohnson2012.com, Dec. 1, 2011: As a believer in individual freedom and keeping government out of personal lives, I simply cannot find a legitimate justification for federal laws, such as the Defense of Marriage Act, which 'define' marriage. That definition should be left to religions and individuals – not government. Government's role when it comes to marriage is one of granting benefits and rights to couples who choose to enter into a marriage 'contract'. As I have examined this issue, consulted with folks on all sides, and viewed it through the lens of individual freedom and equal rights, it has become clear to me that denying those rights and benefits to gay couples is discrimination, plain and simple… Government's promise should be to insure equal access to those rights to all Americans, gay or straight… Today, I believe we have arrived at a point in history where more and more Americans are viewing it as a question of liberty and freedom. That evolution is important, and the time has come for us to align our marriage laws with the notion that every individual should be treated equally. The evolution Johnson spoke of was his own position; he had been more moderate before but "evolved' to his new stance. Johnson's soft positions on our national defense, terrorists, China and Iran are worrisome; his obliviousness on Al Qaeda is disturbing, his endorsement of the Occupy movement is troubling, and his championing of gay marriage challenges traditional mores. All of these reasons reveal a man who is not entirely living in the real world, which is not to deny his appeal on fiscal matters. But Republicans should see him clearly as the H. Ross Perot of 2012, someone who will hand the election to Barack Obama as surely as Perot handed it to Bill Clinton.
