Some Recalled Infants' Tylenol Had Too Much Acetaminophen
The Wall Street Journal reported yesterday that some of McNeil Consumer Healthcare's recalled infants' Tylenol contained as much as 24% more acetaminophen than it should have, according to a letter the company sent to physicians and poison-control personnel. McNeil's letter stated that the samples containing the 24% increase did not reach the public, but that the company could not be sure "all the individual bottles were within specification or that 24% would have been the maximum," according to WSJ. A physician interviewed in the article said that the increased amount of active ingredient did not pose a health risk to infants because liver damage from acetaminophen occurs after high concentrations of the drug over a long period of time, not with occasional use of it.
The physician's reassurance could come as comforting news to parents who may have given the affected medications to their children. Or, these new details about the seeming lack of manufacturing controls could shake consumers' confidence in McNeil even more. As previously reported in PharmTech's ePT, McNeil, a division of Johnson & Johnson, voluntarily recalled more than 40 variations of infants' and children's over-the-counter medications on April 30. The products were recalled because some may contain a higher concentration of active ingredient than is specified, others may contain inactive ingredients that may not meet internal testing requirements, and others may contain particles, according to McNeil. The company said the recall was precautionary and that no adverse events had been reported. The April 30 recall was the third in the past year, following a January 2010 and December 2009 recall of Tylenol and other products that contained a moldy, musty odor.
On May 5, the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform said that it would investigate McNeil's most recent recall to clarify some of the details because of discrepencies in the information the committee received from McNeil and FDA. According to a committee press statement:
"FDA and McNeil Consumer Healthcare have given conflicting accounts of the circumstances surrounding the recall, including what prompted the recall and how serious the recall is. In addition, as this is the third recall of Tylenol products in less than a year, the lawmakers are questioning the adequacy of FDA's inspection procedures and whether McNeil failed to investigate consumer complaints that could have identified the contamination problems."
Last week, the committee announced that a hearing is set for May 27. In letters posted on the committee's website, Chairman Edolphus "Ed" Towns (D-NY) invited William C. Weldon, chairman and CEO of Johnson & Johnson, and FDA Commissioner Margaret Hamburg to testify at the hearing. However, according to J&J's blog, JNJBTW, Weldon had back surgery yesterday and will not be able to attend the hearing. The company will send Colleen Goggins, worldwide chairman of the consumer group to the hearing in Weldon's place.

Art is often a reflection of one's circumstances and surroundings. Consequently, artists of every kind are currently faced with a bevy of troubling conundrums facing the world - war, political turmoil, and media saturation being just a few of the problems. As a result, they either put on blinders or they immerse themselves into the tumultuous experience, make observations, and create something as inspiring as it is insightful, which is exactly the way Modern Life Is War approaches its music.
Hailing from the Midwestern plains of Marshalltown, Iowa, Modern Life is War (collectively, vocalist Jeff Eaton, guitarist Sjarm 13, guitarist John Eich, bassist Tim Churchman, and drummer Tyler Oleson) has garnered quite the following based on its tried and true D.I.Y. ethic, constant coast-to-coast touring schedule, and penchant for birthing the most punishing mixture of hardcore, punk, and heavy rock in underground music. Need proof? All of these attributes are proudly on display on the group's brand new Equal Vision Records release, Midnight in America.
Midnight in America follows the path established on Modern Life is War's previous two releases - Witness, and My Love My Way (Deathwish, Inc) - pulse-pounding, hardcore freight-trains that propelled just as many stage-dives and sing-alongs as they did critical analysis. Lyrically, front man Eaton's stories aren't just run of the mill verses and choruses; rather, he crafts lyrical portraits that paint a picture for the listener in a way that draws comparison to storyteller extraordinaires such as Henry Rollins or Bruce Springsteen.
As Eaton continues his patented thematic explorations, the rest of the band has churned out its most feverishly passionate and boundary pushing tracks to date. Produced by J. Robbins (The Promise Ring, Against Me, Texas is the Reason), Midnight in America is filled to the brim with contagiously head-nodding, fist-pumping tracks that are bound to force even the most cynical to pay attention.
So, how has Modern Life is War managed to ignite such a flurry of acclaim? Eaton, simply enough, feels it's his group's ability to stay true to its artistic vision, regardless of trends.
"We're not really striving to be different," Eaton says. "It's more about fulfilling ourselves and not adding to the bottomless pit of worthless music. Our band is fearless when it comes to what we do. We would rather crash and burn with our dignity than bite our tongues and play it safe."
It's exactly this confident attitude that allows Modern Life is War to foster the enigmatic creative process that pervades Midnight in America in spades by virtue of cacophonous screams, blistering guitars, thunderous rhythms, and some of the most intriguing lyrics any current hardcore band has to offer.
"These songs are all little tributes to people who make my life a lot easier just by knowing that they exist or existed," Eaton reflects. "But the main thing is I would rather not write a song than to write a song about nothing."
The sentiment Eaton speaks of is part of the bond of sincerity that holds the members together. Most importantly, Modern Life is War is a band united based on friendship, artistic exploration, and an admirable desire for sharing stories about their lives and the individuals who have affected them.
"Marshalltown is a place not so different from many places in the country," Eaton states. "It has its own quirks and curiosities. This is what is fascinating about life and music and art and people and places.. .all the little tiny details. They make life worth living. This is what Midnight In America is about; anchoring yourself to those little things because the whole thing is very dark and too much for me to try to change or understand."
The point Modern Life is War consistently makes is that the best art should always come from the heart. Lucky for the band and its ever-increasing cadre of fans, that's the only way they know how to make music.

Five Steps to Save America's Incredible Shrinking Post Office
Stay up to date with the latest headlines via email.
In July 2011 the United States Postal Service (USPS) management announced it would rapidly close 3600 local post offices and eventually as many as 15,000. And shutter half the nation's mail processing centers.
A frenzy of grassroots activity erupted as citizens in hundreds of towns mobilized to save a treasured institution that plays a key and sometimes a defining role in their communities. Only when Congress appeared ready to impose a six month moratorium on closures and consolidations that December did USPS management agree to a voluntarily moratorium of the same length.
That moratorium ended in May 2012. Rather than proceed with closings, management embraced a devilishly clever new strategy. Instead of closing 3600 it would slash the hours of 13,000 post offices. That could be accomplished very quickly because reduction in hours, unlike outright closures, requires little if any justification while appeals are very limited.
Germany circa 1940 would have envied the efficiency of the USPS's blitzkrieg against itself and America's rural communities. By November 2013, almost 8,000 post offices already have seen hours whacked.
As required USPS held community meetings but they went not to listen but to dictate. As the web site Save The Post Office, the go to source of information about the ongoing assault on the post office observes, "The decision to reduce the hours was made almost a year ago and what the new hours will be comes as an announcement, not a matter for discussion. There's no need for a lot of talk about the options because there aren't any."
When communities ask the postal service management for the data upon which it made the decision they are invariably rebuffed. Postal management considers it none of their business.
A reduction in hours doesn't generate the same level of outrage as a closure but its impact on a community may, even in the short run, be almost as negative. The building remains open but its value to the community is dramatically diminished. Hours may be cut in half. A part time inexperienced non-career employee replaces a full time experienced career postmaster.
At a meeting in Great Capacon, West Virginia small business owners talked about how the abundant knowledge of the current postmaster, Rick Dunn, helped them cut costs and improve service. One resident offered another measure of Dunn's value, relating how he had called in a wellness check on a senior he hadn't seen in a few days. It turned out the man needed medical attention. Dunn may have saved his life.
A reduction in hours may set up a slippery slope to full closure because the postal service reviews the workload and revenues of individual post offices annually. As one resident in Greenwood, Virginia reasonably inquired, "How in the world can our revenue increase if they're reducing the hours that our window can perform retail sales?"
A Public Institution Begins to Act Like a Private Business
The wholesale reduction in hours is only the latest attack in the war against the post office as a public institution The war began in 1970 when the United States Post Office Department was transferred out of government and became the United States Postal Service, an independent quasi public corporation, a hybrid invested by law with a public purpose but expected to act like a business. To spur business-like thinking, Congress eliminated almost all taxpayer subsidies.
Almost immediately the private began to take precedence over the public. The postal service management tried to close thousands of local post offices. In the mid 1970s Congress expressed its disapproval by imposing its first moratorium.

Amazing Luke Skywalker Fan Art
With the promise of new Star Wars movies coming, and the knowledge that they are set after Return of the Jedi, we are left to wonder what an older Luke Skywalker might look like. Well I think artist Phil Noto has imagined it pretty well. Mr. Noto is a pro but this particular piece is not officially licensed by Lucasfilm. Fan art at its best.
So this is what Mark Hamill could look like if he hired a stylist.

Becoming a psychologist and a pastor in the African-American community afforded me the opportunity to make a significant, positive difference in this segment of society.
I was satisfied that I was completing my calling until two weeks ago, when I was invited to view a film entitled The Great Warming. As far as I was concerned, the invitation was just another event which was sponsored by a group of "environmental alarmists" attempting to solicit support and raise funds. But, since I was invited by someone I highly respect, I reluctantly consented to attend.
On May 18, 2006 my total perspective on environmental issues and life in general was drastically altered. I became a converted devotee to doing everything in my power to speak truth to the issues which can change the man-made, exploitative behavior which is literally destroying the environment which God created for us to live in, enjoy, and have our being.
What was so EARTH-shattering about that fateful day in May? I learned, for the first time, about the carbon dioxide which is not being absorbed by trees because we have cut them down, therefore less oxygen for healthy air is being emitted. I was shocked to see and hear about our self-serving demands that lead to massive fossil fuel burning. Yet, we continue to dig for more and more coal, rather than seek alternative energy sources. This depleting and defoliating simply fuels our greedy need and malicious overuse of precious natural resources.
Environmentalists tell us that the world is warming. At the same time, the global appetite for energy is rising rapidly. The U.S. Department of Energy says that global energy consumption will grow by 50 percent during the first quarter of the century, all of which has serious implications for global climate change.
So, what does all of this mean to an African-American pastor in Atlanta, Georgia, who is concerned every day with the elimination of poverty; curtailing homelessness; improving and providing health care; decreasing unemployment; lessening teenage pregnancy; reducing crime; curbing violence; eliminating racism; and trying to assist people through another day?
It became crystal clear to me as I watched The Great Warming that environmental concerns must become an integrated, active part of the life-sustaining messages in the African-American community. These essential messages must be mandatory teachings throughout all faith traditions, if we are to survive.
The faith community consistently prides itself on being in the prevention and healing business. Therefore, if we are serious about what we teach and preach, our message must speak clearly and boldly to:

Kraid (クレイド Kureido ) is a corpulent, three-eyed green reptilian extraterrestrial from the Metroid series. Kraid is one of the largest enemies Samus ever encounters in her missions, as he takes up multiple screens at a time. Kraid made his first appearance in the original Metroid as part of the game's boss duo, the other being Ridley. Though he has no known official rank, Kraid is a high-ranking Space Pirate and may even be a leader, as he is a prominent boss throughout the series. The Metroid Prime manual describes Ridley and Kraid as the Space Pirate army's "mainstays"; one could easily imagine this colossus as the muscle and backbone behind Pirate attacks or raids.
Kraid only possesses organic weapons: he shoots projectiles such as dagger-like spikes from his belly and spinning boomerang-like nails from his fingertips. In his resurrected Super Metroid appearance, he gains the ability to spew out rock-like projectiles from his mouth. Except for the original Metroid game, Kraid is shown to be a natural digger, as he is always seen tunneling out of the ground (both partially and entirely) prior to his battles within the series.
A press kit profile for Super Metroid has Samus refer to Kraid as the "brutal ruler of Brinstar". In official Zero Mission art, Kraid is titled the Awakened Behemoth.
Metroid/Zero MissionEdit
In the Famicom and NES verison of Metroid, Kraid is the boss of Mini-Boss hideout I. His original design differed considerably from that of later installments. Kraid's artwork seems to show that, in addition to his smaller size (compared to all later appearances), he also appears to have green fur on his back and only two eyes. There are also spikes located on his back that are shot out and quickly diverge towards the front (like boomerangs). All of Kraid's projectiles, like his future incarnations, are constantly generated in his body.
There is also a Fake-Kraid which Samus may encounter before fighting the real Kraid. However, since there are multiple paths leading to the authentic Kraid, Samus may never come across the imposter. Fake-Kraid is similar to his namesake in appearance, but it is a darker shade of brown with light blue fur and is rather feeble by comparison. Unlike the real Kraid, it respawns even if killed by simply re-entering the decoy's room.
In Metroid: Zero Mission, Kraid is reminiscent of his appearance in Super Metroid, suggesting that Kraid was meant to be gigantic in the original and did not "grow" between his appearances in Metroid and Super Metroid. Worthy of note is that there is no Mini-Kraid in this game. Oddly enough, the room in which it appeared in the original game is present; however, Mini-Kraid is nowhere to be seen. Kraid is also given his own area, unlike Super Metroid where his lair was simply part of Brinstar. In the battle with Kraid, he will hurl spinning boomerang-like claws like he did in previous appearances. Once he has taken enough damage, Kraid will start shooting his belly spikes at Samus. If the spikes miss, they will stick in the back wall, allowing Samus a clear path to Kraid's head (the spikes will explode after a few seconds pass).
Kraid also appears in the second half of the Metroid: Volume 2 manga, which is an adaptation of most of the events of Zero Mission. The manga doesn't outright tell what Kraid is, but he is described as being "Ridley's comrade". Mother Brain also states that "his skin is on par with an anti-optical shield", explaining how most weapons cause him very little damage.
Metroid PrimeEdit
The Metroid Prime instruction manual makes reference to Samus Aran killing the "gargantuan mainstays of the Space Pirate army, Ridley and Kraid" (possibly foreshadowing their retconned sizes in Metroid: Zero Mission), events which occurred in the original Metroid. Later on, the manual also mentions that, following the fall of Zebes, the Space Pirate survivors split into two main camps - one to search for a planet with powerful energy resources (soon settling on Tallon IV), and the other to rebuild their ravaged facility and begin resuscitating Mother Brain, Ridley and Kraid. Only Ridley, as the reborn Meta Ridley, would make an active appearance in the game, with the other two's redevelopment at an unknown status during the entire Prime series.
However, Kraid was intended to have a larger role in the game. A rebuilt Kraid (with the fan-coined term "Meta Kraid") was planned to make an appearance as a boss character in the Phazon Mines area. He was modeled and textured by Gene Kohler for that purpose. As one can see from the picture, he has a helmet on his head believed to be made by the Space Pirates. The purpose of this helmet is not certain, although Kohler indicated in an email reply to N-Sider that the helmet was supposed to be an obstacle to be overcome in the planned fight against him. Another concept art meant for his appearance in Prime also indicated that he would fire out at least fifteen thorns at Samus while they were still connected to his body. The fight (and character) ultimately did not make its way into the game in time for the release, along with some other things (such as the Screw Attack). It is only known by artwork and short comments by the artist. Contrary to popular belief, Kraid was not replaced by the Omega Pirate. Due to the scrapped appearance, Melee remains his only 3D appearance as of now.
"I had completely finished modeling and texturing Kraid. The level that he was to be included in was well underway to being designed. There just was not enough development time remaining to fully implement all aspects of the scenario that were needed to pull off a highly polished\fun gaming experience... animations\effects\programming\etc. It was decided that Kraid was not imperative enough to the Metroid Prime project to run the risk of pushing up the release date in order to fit him in.
I'm sure the folks over at Retro are designing ways to fit Kraid in possible future Metroid titles."
-Gene Kohler May 11, 2004 (Mythicahq.com)
"According to Mr. Kohler in an email to N-Sider, Kraid is said to have a metal plate covering his face due to it being a designed gameplay feature - an item that you had to overcome in your encounter against Kraid. Although, he said, if the model does appear in a future Metroid title, expect some modifications to be made as the older ideas become refined."
Metroid Prime 3: CorruptionEdit
Though Kraid does not appear in this game, a released storyboard for an unused introduction animation by Ben Sprout features a creature that resembles Kraid attacking Samus, but being destroyed by her Gunship.
Super MetroidEdit
Kraid reappears in Super Metroid in a much larger form, taking up approximately two vertical screens' worth of space. In this appearance, his body is invulnerable except for his mouth, which opens after Kraid is shot in the eyes by a Missile, Super Missile, or beam shot (charged or uncharged). Four Super Missiles or 20 missiles/charged shots are necessary to defeat Kraid. Like most bosses, he is invulnerable to uncharged beam shots. Like in the original Metroid, there is a Mini-Kraid that appears just before the real Kraid's room; it is dwarf-like in comparison, both in terms of size and strength. Just like the Metroid decoy, it regenerates after it is destroyed if Samus re-enters the room. Numerous Green Space Pirates and Kihunters patrol the rooms before the boss' chamber, seemingly to defend Kraid and Mini-Kraid.
Just outside Kraid's room, there is a mysterious dead body that might have been another Bounty Hunter or Federation Marine. It is unknown if the killer was Kraid or his respective Gadora.

Super Smash Bros. MeleeEdit
A trophy of Kraid is obtained when the Brinstar Depths stage is unlocked. Kraid also appears as part of the stage itself—occasionally, he will emerge from the magma, roar, and rotate the arena by slashing it, changing gameplay. Though he is based on his Super Metroid appearance, he has a more greyish colored skin, and his eyes are white rather than red.
Nintendo LandEdit
Kraid is the first boss encountered by the Mii in Hostile Colossus. He appears as a robot and attacks by throwing various projectiles, including his old nails. The Mii must shoot the presented target and then fire missiles or charged shots at his throat - after enough damage is inflicted, Kraid will rise out of the lava and begin firing missiles and bullets. He also extends platforms crawling with Zebesians for the Mii to destroy. The Mii must shoot all the targets before attacking the target on Kraid's nose. After taking more damage, Kraid will rise even higher out of the lava. He will have more targets on his body and must be taken down by a charge shot, after which the pattern is repeated.
If Kraid is defeated, the Mii unlocks Survival Mode for Ground Battle. Kraid's head is also a prize in the game. Its description reads: "This hulking monstrosity dwells in the depths of planet Zebes. His skin is impenetrably thick, so try shooting into his mouth. You'll have to climb his towering body to reach his face!"
His battle theme in the game is a remix of the upper Brinstar song from the original Metroid.
Non-canon warning: Non-canonical information ends here.
Official dataEdit
Metroid manualEdit
"This is the head of the Mini-Boss hideout. He hurls horns from his stomach and back. Be very careful of his fierce attacks. If Samus gets hit by him, his energy will be weakened a lot."
Official Nintendo Player's GuideEdit
"This is the Boss who protects Brinstar. He shoots missiles from his stomach, and uses a spinning horn on his back to attack. Missile attacks are the best way to kill him."
Super Metroid manualEdit
"The giant lizard of Brinstar attacks Samus with thorny projectiles and spits spheres out of its mouth. No weapons - beams, missiles, or bombs - have any effect on its body. The creature's weak point is unknown."
Metroid: Zero Mission manualEdit
"The largest enemy in all of the mazes beneath the surface of Planet Zebes, Kraid fires spikes from his belly and claws from his fingertips for extremely powerful attacks."
Official Metroid: Zero Mission websiteEdit
"Extremely dangerous! Giant lizard-like monster over two stories tall. Possesses iron-shredding claws and fires small projectiles from its mouth. When angered, shoots regenerative claws from giant openings in belly. Can be destroyed by hitting soft tissue in mouth with Missiles. DANGER LEVEL: VERY HIGH."
- "Soft tissue (weak spot)"
- "Iron-shredding claws"
- "Regenerative claws"
Super Smash Bros. Melee TrophyEdit
"A boss enemy from Metroid. Kraid lives in the depths of Brinstar. He immobilizes enemies with his three red eyes, and his powerful jaws can crush anything. He can also shoot the three spikes in his belly; it's said he often fires them at his prey. Once Samus defeated Ridley and Kraid, the way to Tourian opened."
Super Smash Bros. Brawl StickerEdit
- Kraid Metroid: Zero Mission - [Head] Attack +33 (All)
- Kraid's Super Metroid and Zero Mission sprite artists never bothered giving the large Pirate his entire tail. By extracting Kraid's sprites, it is revealed that his tail always ends abruptly; the sprite artists most likely did this because of the fact that players are never capable (and are not meant) to get behind Kraid and explore the areas beyond him until he is defeated, which results in him sinking into the ground and exploding, thus his tail is never fully witnessed.
- If "Meta Kraid" had been implemented in Metroid Prime, the Metroid Prime series would be the only games in which both Kraid and Ridley utilize any form of technology during their boss battles rather than strictly using organic weapons.
- Kraid occasionally appeared in the Captain N: The Game Master comic series, based on his original concept art. One of his appearances occurs when he was imprisoned on RX 338. He attempts to convince all of the prisoners in his block that were put away by Samus to turn on their fellow captive, before she beats them all using Kraid as a weapon. Samus later uses him as a diversion to make her own escape.
- The cartoon version of Captain N featured anthropomorphic rhino-like underlings of Mother Brain in multiple episodes. In Metroid, Sweet Metroid, Duke is seen playing dead as a distraction while Kevin steals its Missile Gun which is then used by Kevin to kill a Protoplasm. Concept artwork of the creature and it's gun identify it as Kraid.
- It is possible that Kraid may have some relation to the Bryyonians, seeing that he has three eyes and a reptilian appearance, similar to that of Reptilicus, the Mogenars and the statues/busts around Bryyo. On top of this, Mogenar's battle theme is extremely similar to Kraid's.
- In a Toys "R" Us commercial, "Kraid's Toy Shop" is shown, in Tourian, to be sold out of NES games.
- Kraid's size changes throughout the games. For example, in Metroid, he is about the same size as Samus, whereas in Super Metroid and Metroid: Zero Mission, he's roughly 65 ft. tall. In Super Smash Bros Melee he is even larger.
- Strangely, according to the official Metroid: Zero Mission web site, Kraid is over two stories tall, the low-end being three stories. This would mean Kraid is 9.9 meters tall (32.5 ft.), nearly half of his height in-game.
- The Squizzard boss in Super Mario Galaxy 2 bears subtle similarities to Kraid. Such similarities include the weak point being the mouth, and spiked projectiles being fired by the flick of a hand. The Squizzard is also half in the ground, similar to Kraid in Super Metroid.
- The color of Samus' suit during the cut-scene with Kraid rising before her in Zero Mission will vary depending on whether or not the Varia Suit is acquired prior to the battle.

The syrup may also optionally contain orange flower water or rose water. and neighboring countries, it is also eaten in the former countries of the Ottoman Empire.
Basbousa has many regional and dialect names: Arabic بسبوسة basbūsah, هريسة harīsa, nammoura (in Lebanon[2]), Armenian Շամալի shamali, Turkish revani/revani (from Persian[3]) and Greek ραβανί and ρεβανί.
It is found in the cuisines of the Eastern Mediterranean under a variety of names. It appears to be a variant of the Egyptian dish ma'mounia.[citation needed] In southern Greece, it is called ravani, while in the north, it is called revani. Basbousa is often called "hareesa" in the Maghreb, Alexandria, and Jordan.[citation needed] Basbousa is a particularly popular dessert among Coptic Christians for fasts such as Great Lent and the Nativity Fast as it is vegetarian.[citation needed]
Pastūsha (sometimes stylized as Pastūçha) is a variant of basbousa that originated in Kuwait in the 2010s. Like Basbousa, it is made of semolina soaked in sweet syrup. It is characterized by the addition of finely ground pistachios and orange flower water.

Detail from a 1907 map of Calgary
Community Heritage and Family History Collection
Maps are very useful tools for navigation but they can also speak volumes about the history of a city. The Community Heritage and Family History room at the Central Library has a great collection of historical maps. I love to use the maps to illustrate our stories of the history of Calgary's development. You can see times of extreme optimism as in the map that accompanied the 1913 Henderson's directory. The city looks enormous. New subdivisions have sprung up all around the perimeter of the city. Districts like The Bronx, Harvetta Heights, The Nimmons Subdivision and Balaclava Heights. What is fascinating is that none of these places actually existed. The map, however, shows residential lots and roads and other fascinating features. What this map represents are the dreams and aspirations of Calgary's boosters and its real estate developers. The reality was that Calgary was facing one of its infamous busts and though the city's promoters would have liked to create these wonderful neighbourhoods, the economy would just not support it (doesn't sound familiar, does it?)
To highlight some of the interesting maps in our collection, we have mounted a display in the windows of the Local History Room on the 4th floor of the Central Library. Next time you're walking by have a peek in and see some of this cartographic history of our fair city.

Sugarland's Jennifer Nettles 'Thrilled' to Perform with Rihanna
Rihanna is set to take the stage with Sugarland's Jennifer Nettles at next month's Academy of Country Music Awards. The country star shared her excitement about joining forces with her pop counterpart.
RiRi and Nettles will duet on "California King Bed" at the 46th annual show, airing April 3 at 8 p.m. on CBS. "It's the first time that Lady Ri and I have ever sung together and the first time that this song will be performed live so we are thrilled," Nettles told Ryan Seacrest.
She explained how the unlikely pairing came about. "We're just big fans of each other. We wanted to do something that was fun and different and fresh, and I reached out to her and said, 'Hey, anything you want to do?' and she said, 'I have this song that I specifically would love to do,' and I said, 'Yes ma'am, we will do it.'"
She added, "It is such a moment. And I think what it shows us is that good music is good and good performance is good, and as long as you like it, who cares what you call it. Get out there and have fun with each other."
And don't be surprised if Nettles gives the red-haired diva a run for her money fashion-wise. "I am planning on having a diamond-encrusted crotch," she joked.Tweet

Jim FitzGibbon, former president of Four Season Hotel & Resorts, headlined the Day 3 morning keynotes today at Imagine. Jim shared some incredible examples of how the Four Season created and lived by a service-oriented culture. He took attendees on a trip around the globe, showing how the Four Season's culture manifests itself in locations ranging from London to the Seychelles.
Following the presentation, Jim and Bob Schwartz held a game-show style contest to award one lucky attendee a FREE 7 night stay at the fabulous Four Seasons Hotel in Bora Bora.
Luckily for everyone here, Magento has its own gameshow host on staff. Enter Gary Forman:
Gary challenged the five contests to show off their Magento expertise and learnings from the past two days of keynote presentations, not to mention their dancing skills. All contests put on valiant efforts, each showing their Magento passion. But in the end, only one - Krister Lenman from Sweden – emerged the winner.
Congratulations to Krister, and thank you to all of our contests for playing the game so well. We'd like to thank Gary for his special hosting skills, and extend a very special thank you to Jim FitzGibbon for his powerful message and his very generous gift.

Coal-Tar-Based Driveway Sealants Banned
Coal-tar-based driveway sealants are banned from use within the city. Coal-tar based sealants contain polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, (PAH) which are known carcinogens. Coal-tar-based sealants are used on driveways and parking lots. As the sealer ages (in 2 to 4 years), it can flake off, and storm water runoff can carry the flakes into storm water ponds. Because of the toxic nature and demonstrated damage to aquatic life, sediment with high levels of PAH in storm water ponds must be disposed of in a hazardous materials landfill. City taxpayers are responsible for the cost of cleanup of any public storm water ponds in the city.
The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) first raised concerns about PAH. Coal-tar-based sealants are no longer sold by most hardware or home improvement stores, but they are often marketed by door-to-door driveway coating contractors. Since seal coating contractors do not have to be licensed; residents should ask any contractor about their product. The MPCA has a list of contractors that have pledged that they will not apply sealcoats containing coal tar in Minnesota.
Get more information on coal-tar based sealants and a list of contractors who have pledged to use coal-tar free sealants.
Get Radon Test Kits Through Hennepin County
The Environmental Protection Agency says elevated radon levels are likely to be found in one of every three Hennepin County homes - both new and old. The first step toward "clearing the air" in your home is finding out if elevated levels of radon are present and, if so, your current level of exposure. You may purchase short-term test kits for a discount through Hennepin County Public Health Protection. Find more information or order a kit.
Municipal Water Quality Report
The annual water report is now available. This report is for testing that was conducted during the year 2012. If you have any questions, please contact Public Works Director Larry Brown, 952.960.7913, or firstname.lastname@example.com.
Medicine Drop Off Locations
Hennepin County has placed drop off bins for prescription and other unused medications at various locations throughout the county for the free disposal of medicines. Storing unused medicines in the home can be dangerous. Prescription drug abuse among the teen population is on the rise and there has been an increase of accidental poisonings. Disposing of medicines down the drain or in the garbage can cause groundwater contamination. The drop off sites are free and easy to use. Complete instructions and a list of accepted and unaccepted items should be reviewed before using the drop offs.
Current Rebates
The following rebates are currently available to qualifying residents:
Cooling Rebates, Xcel energy, Up to $450 cash back
Heating System Rebates, CenterPoint Energy, Up to $500 cash back
Water Heater Rebates, CenterPoint Energy, Up to $200 cash back
Low Flow Showerheads and faucet aerators, Centerpoint Energy
Gas Fireplace Rebates, CenterPoint Energy, $75 cash back
Tree Preservation
It is the policy of the City of Shorewood to recognize and preserve existing natural resources of the community. In its effort to maintain the wooded character of the area, the city finds that trees provide numerous benefits including: stabilization of the soil by the prevention of erosion and sedimentation, reduction of storm water runoff, improvement of air quality, reduction of noise pollution, control of urban heat island effect, protection and increase of property values, protection of privacy, energy conservation through natural insulation, providing habitat for birds and other wildlife and conservation and enhancement of the city's physical and aesthetic environment.
Shorewood established a Tree Preservation Policy that applies to all new construction within the city. The purpose of this policy is to preserve and protect significant trees or stands of trees whose loss due to land disturbances associated with development or construction would negatively affect the character of our community.
Gideon Glen
Gideon Glen, a 5.8-acre parcel with an old-growth remnant of the Big Woods on its west side, was purchased by the city in 2000 with the financial assistance from Minnehaha Creek Watershed District.
The Gideon Glen project is meant to be educational complete with observation areas and informational kiosks. The view west to the woods is intended not to be accessible to insure the preservation of these sensitive areas; however, the wetland restoration will give residents a sense of what the Lake Minnetonka area was like in pre-settlement times once vegetation has had an opportunity to mature. The wetland project came together financially with funds by the City (through a $75,000 grant from the Metropolitan Council), the MCWD, and Hennepin County (through the CR 19 project.)
Should I test my private well for arsenic?
Yes. Arsenic over the recommended safe level has been detected in groundwater in some private wells in Shorewood. Arsenic in water has no taste or odor, so the only way to know if drinking water contains arsenic is to have it tested.
Storm Water Pollution Prevention Program (SWPPP)
Residents of Shorewood can participate in the storm water pollution prevention management process designed to maintain or improve the quality of our natural resources.

Clinical Nursing Residency
To provide RNs with opportunities for professional growth, personal satisfaction, recognition, and economic rewards based on their contributions to quality patient care, Morton Plant Mease has developed the Professional Nurse Clinical ladder. This system is based on the possession of critically required knowledge and skills at specified levels of the ladder.
Graduate nurses enter the Clinical Ladder in the Clinical Nurse Resident (CNR) role and are placed in the Clinical Nurse Residency. This program is designed to assist the novice nurse in making a positive transition from the academic to the acute care hospital setting. The residency lasts approximately 180 days. During the first 6 weeks, the CNR is paired with an experienced RN. After that, the CNR is provided with a designated resource person as he or she gains the necessary competencies to advance to the Clinical Nurse role.
Qualifications for the Clinical Nursing Residency are:

Participants receive pay and benefits while attending the program and upon successful completion, are employed in a full-time, staff position.

The Yenom Tree -- April Fool's Day, 1963
VIEW magazine revealed the existence of the Yenom Tree, a "rare perennial" owned by Mrs. Loo Flirpa of Appleton, Wisconsin. This tree, "intensively bred to resemble the Pelf Pines and Gelt Gardenias of an earlier day," sprouted "bright, green American one-dollar bills with uniformly high serial numbers."
In an unusual mutation, this year the Yenom Tree had also sprouted a "flawless five-dollar bill."
It was further revealed that Mrs. Flirpa had entered into "an exclusive arrangement with the U.S. Mint to sell Yenom tree seedlings through a system of greenhouses to be operated through local offices of the Federal Reserve System."

EPPD: Teen soldier accused in deadly I-10 crash had just left nightclub
POSTED: Wednesday, June 4, 2014 - 6:17pm
UPDATED: Thursday, June 5, 2014 - 2:58pm
EL PASO (KTSM) — The teenaged Fort Bliss soldier accused of killing two construction workers on the freeway had just left a nightclub, according to a newly-released El Paso Police report.
The crash happened around 2:20 a.m. on May 11 along I-10 East, near Schuster.
According to the report, 18-year-old Jan Michael Nieves admitted to investigators that he and his passenger, 20-year-old Hunter Sagraves, had been at Gatsby Bar and Nightclub before the incident.
The business's address is listed as 3233 N. Mesa. NewsChannel 9 spoke by phone with a man identifying himself as a club employee. The man said he would ask management for comment.
The report states Nieves told police he had "about 3-4 shots," but decided to drive because Sagraves was too drunk.
Both the east and westbound lanes of I-10 were closed at the time of the incident, as crews prepared to install beams over the freeway as part of the Spur 1966 project.
Police had closed the eastbound lanes between Sunland Park Drive and Schuster, the scene of the crash.
According to the report, investigators stated "it was unknown how the driver…accessed the freeway, as it was blocked off and off-duty officers were blocking off each entrance point."
The report also states Nieves told police he did not see the barricades nor the machinery.
The men killed were identified as 39-year-old James Green from Runaway Bay, Texas and 54-year-old Jimmy Joe Broadstreet of Chaparral.
Nieves has been charged with two counts of Intoxication Manslaughter. According to jail records, he remains at the El Paso County Jail under bonds totaling $200,000.
The Texas Department of Transportation is set to resume the overpass project this weekend with another complete freeway closure. It will begin Sunday at 5 a.m. and last until Monday at 6 a.m.

When the role of the ear receptor performs electrode array, it looks like a very thin thread of platinum electrodes coming out of the receiver / stimulator. The word "implant" is not accidental - electrode array and receiver / stimulator implanted into the inner ear. But it does not need to be afraid.
Cochlear implants are miniature size (a few centimeters) and minimum weight (9-12 grams). Implants are safe for the human body. They are made of a biologically inert material. In particular, the cases of cochlear implants are often made of titanium. Health As speech processors, they can be hand-held or BTE. And in fact, and in another case, they do not cause inconvenience to the carrier.
In some cases, cochlear implantation is needed with deep deafness in both ears. In medical terms, this is expressed as follows: the average threshold of auditory perception at frequencies of 0.5, 1, and 2 kHz (range, responsible for the clarity and intelligibility of speech) is more than 95 dB (train noise).
In other words, one discerns only industrial noise and a voice-over in a creek.If hearing aids do not help to improve the perception of sounds for six months or more of use, if a person cannot distinguish between the sounds quieter than 55 decibels in the range of 2-4 kHz (noise boiling kettle feet from the ear), even when using a well-chosen hearing aids known as Tinnitus Miracle Review.
In the absence of the patient's psychological problems and severe chronic diseases, in some cases, it is impossible to conduct cochlear implantation at full or partial (but significant) obliteration of the cochlea.
