In the Garage: 1977 Toyota Celica GT
1977 Toyota Celica GT Liftback owned by John Herman
"You'll feel Celica excitement the very first time you drive one," says the Toyota sales brochure for 1977. "And you'll never get tired of it." That could certainly apply to Herman, who has owned his Liftback since new and has kept it in immaculate condition. "The Toyota Celica name is derived from the Latin word 'coelica,' meaning 'heavenly' or 'celestial,'" he says. "At its introduction in 1971, the Celica bound for North America was only available as a pillarless hardtop coupe. The fastback version, called the Liftback, was introduced for the Japanese market in April 1973, but not until 1976 for export to the U.S.
The 1976-77 Liftback was often called the 'Japanese Mustang' or the 'Mustang Celica' because of the styling similarities to the Ford Mustang, including the triple-bar tail lights that are a signature Mustang styling cue and the overall homage to the muscle car era." Several years ago, Automobile Magazine deemed the Liftback a "collectible classic," a car that is "undeniably handsome."
Since June 1977
Herman bought the Celica new at a Massapequa dealership.
"The car today is all original, inside and out," he says. "Being a fastidious detailer even before the word was coined -- waxing inside fenders, wheels and rocker panels and bathing vinyl and rubber in silicone -- my Celica is in pristine condition. Its penchant for rusting has made mine, especially in its condition, extremely rare. Taking it out on weekends induces intense rubbernecking."
"Don't listen to others," Herman advises. "In the early years of ownership, just about everyone thought I was crazy to keep a Toyota for the purpose of it being a collectible rather than simply for utility. It was that contrarian thinking that has, indeed, made mine extremely rare, as there are virtually no other first-generation Celicas on the road."
"Given there are no all-original '77 Toyotas for sale anywhere," he says, "it is anyone's guess." The NADA Guides puts a "high retail" value of $9,000 on a 1977 Liftback without options.
"After sinking too much money trying to keep my first car (a used '68 Barracuda fastback) roadworthy, I heeded the advice of a similarly destitute college friend and bought a new, very plain '72 Toyota Corolla," Herman says. "Amazed at its simple, but bulletproof, engineering and reliability, I sold it five years and 145,000 miles later for another Toyota. Now graduated and employed, I could afford the Mustang-inspired '77 Celica GT. Enamored with its 2.2-liter, 96-horsepower engine, smooth five-speed (transmission) and 'amenities,' including faux wood trim, FM stereo radio, headliner map light, full-length center console, ESP (electro-sensor panel) and woven vinyl seats, I vowed then to battle Mother Nature and keep this (to me) 'upscale' car forever. Well, here I am almost 36 years later, still keeping the promise I made to myself in my youth."

ISAF Also Whacks Insurgents
By Harold Hutchison
Two Taliban facilitators were captured during operations by ISAF forces across Afghanistan. In addition, some insurgents were killed.
Both Taliban facilitators, whom ISAF declined to name, were captured in Kandahar province. The first was seized in the city of Kandahar, where he was suspected of directing multiple suicide attacks against Afghan and coalition forces throughout Kandahar province, and of being involved in the death of Afghan civilians
The second facilitator was captured in Panjwa'i district along with four other insurgents. He was believed to have imported and distributed home-made explosive material and narcotics, while also providing funds for forces opposing ISAF.
ISAF Joint Command reported the death of four insurgents during an ISAF operation in Kunar province. Another three insurgents were reported killed by ISAF Regional Command East during a separate operation.

Arriving in New York City with not much more than her smarts, good looks, and ambition to crack the fashion world, Rachel Roy has made an impressive name for herself both as a legitmate designer and as the wife of hip-hop entrepreneur Damon Dashfrom whom she is getting what is turning out to be a high-profile divorce. Though she's understandably shy about discussing Dash other than to wish him good luck, the self-described "girl from the other side of Monterey" (California, that is) is eager to talk about her plans to expand her business and burnish her name on her own.
"I feel like I was sleepwalking through life," Roy says of her rags-to-riches life with Dash. "My Oprah moment was seeing that my daughters will be me." Which is to say, she suddenly realized that her two girls, ages one and nine, would grow up enjoying the kind of material possessions that Roy could only fantasize about in childhood. "I worry that my daughters are too taken care of. A person's life is of their own making, and I take full responsibility for mine."
With the launch of her new moderately priced Rachel Rachel Roy collection, backed by Jones NY, Roy is about to deliver a sartorial dream come true for young women like the one she used to be, who want to "get ahead" in style. Her line of separates, priced from $40 to $300, features playfully hip classics, such as graffiti trenches, oversize knits, animal prints, and jersey-draped rompers. "I always have one foot in the street," Roy says, "so I know not everyone wants to dress like the women they see in music videos. I like self-respecting girls who want a taste level. I wanted to give them clothes they could feel on-trend with but also wear to a job interview."
While fashion critics tend to lavish attention on the latest crazeMustard and ketchup splatter-paint sweatshirts! Ruffle diaper shorts in stripes!that's not how Roy rolls. And her instincts have paid off, judging from the success of her more expensively priced Rachel Roy collectiona favorite of stars from Lucy Liu and Jennifer Garner to Kate Hudson and Estelle. But her new Macy's collection is something else. It breaks fresh ground in a bridge market that has been sorely lacking in chic, if not supercheap. "I was thinking of a risk-taker who doesn't want to show too much skin," Roy says. "But she's the girl in the crowd from whom others get their style."

Dutch regulator says "Twin Peaks" supervision best
By Huw Jones
BASEL, Switzerland, Oct 9 (Reuters) – The financial crisis has shown that the "Twin Peaks" system of separating prudential and securities supervision being eyed by Germany and Britain works best, the Dutch markets regulator said on Friday.
The worst market turmoil since the Great Depression has sparked a fundamental rethink of how markets and banks are supervised following a failure to spot risks building up in the system before it was too late.
"In Europe, we have many single regulators that are both prudential and securities regulators. They have to combine their penchant for confidentiality and for transparency," Hans Hoogervorst, chairman of the Dutch AFM regulator said.
"To be effective, a regulator should have a clear, focused sense of purpose. He should never be in a position where he is tempted to sacrifice the goal of transparency to prudential concerns or vice versa," Hoogervorst told an International Organisation of Securities Commissions conference.
In the Netherlands, the AFM supervises markets and conduct of business, while the Dutch central banks oversees banks.
The twin peaks model is also applied in Australia.
The financial crisis has sparked a rethink in Germany and Britain of their super-regulators which oversee all the market.
The British opposition Conservative Party, which polls say is favourite to win the next election due by June 2010, has pledged to abolish the Financial Services Authority and hand its prudential or financial safety supervisory duties to the Bank of England.
The FSA would then be reformed into an agency handling consumer protection and conduct of business.
In Germany, Chancellor Angela Merkel's conservatives and their Free Democrat allies have agreed the basics of an overhaul of the country's banking supervision. [ID:nL8300219]
Under the agreement, German supervision would be concentrated at the national central bank, the Bundesbank.
Currently, responsibilities are shared between the Bundesbank and the Bafin supervisory body but the Free Democrats want the central bank to take over full responsibility.
A 2008 report by former Federal Reserve Chairman Paul Volcker for the U.S. G30 think-tank said no supervisory set up proved "unambiguously superior" in the crisis but the twin peaks arrangement could force a resolution to the conflict between protecting consumers and ensuring broader market stability.
Regulators say privately there is too much emphasis by policymakers on supervisory structures and not enough on instruments for spotting risks and ensuring that warnings are acted on.

St. Patrick's parish had a small high school for a number of years. Many people in Terre Haute had been petitioning Archbishop Paul Schulte for a new high school. The archbishop approved the name Paul C. Schulte High School on Jan. 8, 1952. Ground was broken on Nov. 16, 1952, for a co-educational Catholic high school that would serve all the parishes of the city. School and convent were placed under the patronage of The Immaculate Heart of Mary, and the convent received that name. A temporary convent was readied until a permanent one could be provided. The new school opened Sept. 14, 1953 with 256 students. Besides six sisters and five secular teachers, an assistant pastor from each of the Terre Haute parishes taught religion. Rev. Joseph Beechem was the principal.
The convent diary first notes financial problems in the 1971-1972 school year. Tuition and parish assessments were raised. But by Feb. 1976 conditions were such that the Terre Haute Deanery Board voted to close the school. The convent closed at the end of the school year. The student body organized a fund-raising drive that made it possible to continue for one more year. In May 1977, the Board decided that the school would have to close at the end of that summer.

respiratory distress vs respiraotry failure - page 2
I want to ask how is the difference between them? And how to differentiate them by clinical manifestation? Thanks a lot......... Read More
- 0Sep 15, '12 by kdavis308Im actually surprised by the number of people having trouble answering this question.
Respiratory Distress: Is a symptom they are experiencing. The patient is short of breath. (dypsneic). It also involves the psychological aspect of dyspnea.
Respiratory Failure: Inadequate gas exchange at the alveolar level. There are two types.
Hypoxic (Type 1) which means on a blood gas or pulse oximeter the SaO2/PaO2 or SpO2 if Pulse Ox are decreased.
Hypercapneic (Type 2) means the patient is unable to adequately eliminate CO2. On a blood gas the patient would have an elevated PaCO2 or with Capnography and elevated EtCO2.
Treatment for respiratory failure should always involve increasing the airway pressure either by intubation with mechanical ventilation or non-invasively with either CPAP for hypoxic failure or CPAP with PS (BiPAP) for Hypercapneic failure. If the patient has a significant shunt (meaning obstruction of lower airways not allowing oxygen to get to the functional levels of the lung) then increasing the FiO2 or percentage of O2 will not help.
CPAP is often times adequate for hypoxic failure as one provides extra pressure expanding the alveoli thus increasing surface area and oxygenation. CPAP will not substantially help hypercapneic failure as it does not increase tidal volumes.
BiPAP or CPAP with Pressure Support will likely be beneficial for Hypercapneic failure because the pressure is ramped up when the patient takes a breath improving tidal volumes thus allowing the patient to blow off more CO2.Last edit by kdavis308 on Sep 15, '12
- 0Oct 5, '12 by anon456You've had several good answers . .
I work on a peds pulmonary floor. We get some RSV babies that are admitted for resp distress, meaning they are having retractions, increased WOB, breathing too fast to be allowed to eat (hard to suck and swallow if you can't breathe well). If they continue having respirations above 60, are showing nasal flaring, head bobbing, retractions and looking just plain tired, they are watched very very carefully because they are in danger of pooping out. Many are intubated at this point because of impending respiratory failure. They will get acidotic as shown by a blood gas and if it is allowed to go past this point they are in danger of coding. There is a good reason why our unit shares space with the PICU . . . in case of intubation.

Home > Health & Wellness > Health Library > Preschoolers: Encouraging Independence
Preschool-age children develop a sense of independence by practicing
skills and doing things for themselves, such as getting dressed or brushing
their teeth.
Children who are not allowed to perform tasks on their own get the
message that they are not capable. Children may then learn to always expect
help and remain dependent. Although it is often easier and faster to do things
for children, take time to allow them the satisfaction of taking care of their
own needs as appropriate. For example, allow your child to work on getting
dressed with elastic pants and pull-on shirts. Or encourage your child to brush
his or her teeth. Since it takes practice to become good at these and other
daily tasks, a good compromise is to let a child start the project, then finish
the job together. Praise efforts rather than outcomes. Avoid criticism and keep
your expectations realistic.
Independence sometimes can be frightening for children. Be
understanding if they have a sudden need for your help or presence.

(We're not talking the Spring Break crowd packed eight to a room, who cart in coolers and do Vegas on the cheap.)

It didn't hurt that younger celebs from Kim Kardashian, to rappers, to royalty are making headlines in Vegas (think Prince Harry and his recent romp at Vegas party pools and naked shenanigans in a suite at Steve Wynn's upscale Encore resort).
Vegas' newest Strip megaresort -- The Cosmopolitan -- and its Marquee Day Club are magnets for the young, and work it with sexy ads and atmosphere.
The Hard Rock Hotel & Casino has revamped its dining and nightlife, including a GunsN' Roses "residency" series of concerts starting Oct. 31 and an intimate music venue called Vinyl (I didn't know this, but deejays like the sound of vintage records, and those old albums and singles are in again.)
Now the Palms Casino Resort, credited by many with attracting the young to Vegas with its "Fantasy Suites" and youthful vibe after the success of the season of MTV's Real World filmed there, is reinventing itself again in a $50 million renovation.
Today, it is unveiling newly redone rooms in the Palms Tower that look like cool boutique accommodations with a whimsical twist:-- the faces of sexy women emblazoned on the walls behind the beds. They're available for booking starting this weekend, and if you're lucky, you can get one for $79, depending on availability.
"The original Palms customer has grown up and matured," says Joseph Magliarditi, president of Palms, who gave me a tour,. "We're not saying we don't want 21-year-olds," he adds, but the target audience is 35-43. Rooms feature 42-inch flat-screen TVs and minibars with hangover kits. There's a new poker room/sports book with walls of high-def screen to watch, and Magliarditi says a new "chocolate bar" serving all things cacao (chocolate martini and more, baby) is coming.
RELATED: What's Vegas' top buffet right now?
Much more is happening all around Vegas to lure the young. If you haven't checked out the cutting-edge cocktail bars downtown filled with the trendy (many from the Zappos shoe company), they're far different than the average Strip bar.
Readers, what do you think of the youth trend, and what are your favorite new spots in Vegas?

Mission Statement
An arboretum is a place where trees, plants, and shrubs are identified and maintained for their educational and aesthetic value. At St. Mary's College, more than 300 acres of developed and undeveloped land showcase a variety of southern Maryland plant life. Land and water come together here; plants large and small help to maintain and filter soil and waters flowing into the St. Mary's River, and the river's currents and wildlife in turn influence what thrives along the shoreline and surrounding acreage.
Generations of students have come to this place to obtain a liberal arts education, which promotes a commitment to lifelong learning. What they study in the arts, sciences, and humanities we hope produces an appreciation for the unique landscape that is St. Mary's. Here, one is struck daily by the interconnected elements of water, sky, and shoreline, an awareness that can foster a concern for the natural environment that will inform our graduates' beliefs and actions in subsequent years wherever they choose to live.
The St. Mary's Arboretum will begin the labeling of trees and plantings on campus grounds; will continue to identify, create and protect habitats for native animals and plants (as a designated Audubon International site); and will commit to planting primarily native species to support birds and beneficial insect populations. We propose to manage our campus acres so as to nurture and instruct young and old, teachers, students, staff, and neighbors. Plantings will reflect a goal of building collections for scientific study as well as aesthetic appreciation, with sustainable maintenance and ecological awareness as guiding principles in what we do.
Since the St. Mary's College of Maryland acres are contiguous with Historic St. Mary's City and St. Mary's Parish grounds, we pledge to work with these neighboring organizations on shared goals wherever possible. The St. Mary's Arboretum wishes to work with many partners in our state to help Marylanders protect and beautify the natural environment that surrounds us and gives us such a unique and special home.
Towards this end we plan to:
-Label representative trees and plants on lands cared for by St. Mary's College of Maryland and pay particular attention to increasing collections helpful to our faculty in classroom work;
-Identify what rain garden areas, meadowlands, ponds, marshes, forests, etc. provide and represent for healthy plant, animal, and human populations;
-Work with students in the classroom and in volunteer activities to broaden their understanding and appreciation for our unique ecology, as well as build environmentally friendly spaces with their help, with the goal of 'active learning' opportunities whenever possible;
-Create self-guided walking tours that highlight distinctive trees and plants, and lead instructional tours occasionally for increased public awareness and appreciation;
-Continue our commitment to green initiatives on this campus as we improve our physical plant and grounds;
-Sponsor public lectures and workshops that will increase community awareness and responsible stewardship of southern Maryland's landscape and waterways;
-Partner with other organizations in our state and region that do similar work to support and better extend efforts in promoting environmental awareness in St. Mary's County.
The St. Mary's Arboretum pledges to recognize, protect, and celebrate the unique, natural home we share in beautiful southern Maryland.

How interesting. I keep putting this off. I wonder why. Time to get moving on this. 15 months ago
10 years after introducing 43 Things to the world, we have decided we have met our last goal: completing the incredible experience that has been 43 Things. Please join us in giving one last cheer to all the folks who have shared their goals with the world, as well as all the people who have worked at The Robot Co-op to build this incredible website. We won a Webby Award, published a book, and brought happiness to a lot of people.
Starting today, 43 Things users can export their goals and entries from the site. Starting August 15, we will make the site "read only". 43 Things users will still be able to view the site and export their content, but we won't be taking any new content from users. We hope to leave the site up for folks to see and download their content until the end of the year. Ending on New Year's Eve takes us full circle.
It has been a long ride (one of our original goals was to "build a company that lasts at least 2 years" - we beat that one!) While we wish the site could live on, it has suffered from a number of challenges - changes in how people use the site, the advertising industry, and how search engines view the site. We wish the outcome was different – but we've always been realistic about when our goals are met and when they aren't.
As of today, you will be able to download your goals and entries. See more about that on the FAQ page. Thanks for 10 great years of goal-setting and achieving.

How interesting. I keep putting this off. I wonder why. Time to get moving on this. 15 months ago
My poor baby Jeep is growing up so quickly! I can hardly believe it's nearly five years old. Time flies so fast ;)
Car years are like dog years, though, so my "baby" is really reaching middle age. I need to stay on top of car issues, big and small, before something truly becomes a problem. So, by the end of November, I hope to:
✔ Got a high mileage oil change
✔ Tire rotation
He recommended..
this is just to start keeping a log about maintenance, for future reference4 years ago
i am finally doing something with and about my car. I was fortunate to get him to fix things. it saved me about one grand in labour.
he got experience out of it to say the least.
he thinks that i owe him big time. At least that is what he had said to me.
again i am greatful.
The car needs washing, cleaning and what have you.
i intend to do that soon.
.....with my soul 4 years ago
With all the snow and ice, my car has taken a mini-beating. Must get oil change…fix crack in window. I am still paying for this baby. It must survive for at least the next eight years! 5 years ago
Just took it to the best mechanic ever!
Fixed the dash lights, fuel leak and fixed the back window switch.
Next up:
-grease the sunroof
-fix passenger window and rear d.s window
-get an oil change
Going to visit the local mechanic to fix windows this week! 5 years ago
My dad's friend fixed the stereo. He replaced the right front speaker. The back speakers were out because they weren't connected properly, so that was easily fixed. The radio wasn't working because of the stereo unit itself, so we got a new stereo for the car. It now works like a dream! Yay! 7 years ago
I took my car in to get her girlie parts looked at. Everything is okay, despite the check engine light being on. Other things were fixed and she is running very well. I still need to get the stereo and antenea looked at. I got a recommendation from my car place for a place I could take it to get those parts fixed. We'll see if it happens before I leave for New Zealand. 8 years ago
2 and 5 are done.
Now for 3/4 and my car needs another checkup because the check engine light is on… 8 years ago
I keep washing my car! Yay! This is good as when I had my first car I just waited for it to rain. I considered that washing my car…
But lately I've been able to keep my little Alice clean. While this is a step in the right direction, she still needs her other lady parts looked at and fixed.
I've been attempting to find a place that will fix her stereo, but no one seems to know of a good place. Instead I think I'm going to take her to a repair place that I know of to get her checked up and ask the guys there where I should go. I think that's a good idea. :) 8 years ago
