Declared a 2011 finalist for the area's Best Mattress Store by readers of the Chattanooga Times Free Press, Mattress Outlet has culled an extensive arsenal of mattresses from top-brand manufacturers for more than 30 years. At eight locally owned locations throughout the Tennessee Valley, its knowledgeable staffers navigate showrooms that brim with cushy memory-foam slumbering surfaces from brands such as Serta and Tempur-Pedic. The staff procures the store's inventory from top manufacturers, who have partnered with Mattress Outlet for years, working to keep the prices affordable and to ensure no under-the-bed monsters are damaged during travel.
The framing experts at Reflections Gallery & Framing have prepared photographs, artwork, and family heirlooms for display while guarding them against wear and tear with custom framing for 25 years. Conservation-quality materials, such as UV-filtering glass, guards keepsakes against damaging sun rays and radioactive art critics, and acid-free paper and pH-neutral mats preserve images by eschewing photo-unfriendly chemicals found in ordinary materials. Gussy up a standard 11"x14" photograph for the gallery ($95) with standard glass and backing, frame a 16"x20" oil painting ($98), or shield-dress an 8"x10" wall hanging ($131). Custom shadow boxes can present a vast array of physical memorabilia, from a collection of butterflies to baby's first split atom. While selecting a frame, visitors at Reflections can sip complimentary beverages from the hot-tea bar and peruse the gallery's rotating lineup of local original art.
Southern Hearth and Patio celebrates the aesthetic and functional benefits of fire with a scintillating selection of gas, charcoal, and wood-burning fireplaces and grills. Alfresco chefs can heighten the sense of romance imparted by an outdoor bearskin rug with the soft glow of an outdoor gas fireplace ($1,540+) or the flame-licked flavors of a tuna casserole cooked over a Yoder charcoal grill ($699+). An attachable grill light ($12.99) fills in for the moon during unexpected eclipses, illuminating late-night grilllings while alleviating a burger's natural fear of the dark. Enhance charbroiled fare with seasonings and sauces ($6.95–$9.95) or sneak in a few extra reps with a burger press ($9.95).
We are locally owned and operated. These Ashley Furniture HomeStores go above and beyond, as their mission is "To achieve excellence as we provide products and services in a way that honors God and blesses our customers and employees."
The crew at The Preppy Monogram puts a final touch of style on their customers' wardrobes. They can add initials and other monograms to pretty much any article of clothing: pants, sweaters, and hats just to name a very few. In addition to customizing brought-in items, they also stock shirts, scarves and other clothing along with non-apparel items such as candles, which technically could be used as hats.
Inside Plum Nelly Shop and Gallery, visitors discover an array of handmade items crafted by local and regional artists. From festive pottery pieces and table settings to unique jewelry and decorative wall art, the shop shines with one-of-a-kind creations.

PDF to Image Convertor 1.0
It features support for JPG, PNG, TIFF, BMP and GIF formats, along with standard options that can be easily defined by less experienced users.
Fast installation and simple GUI
The setup operation does not take a long time to finish, nor require special attention. As far as the interface goes, PDF to Image Convertor opts for a small, standard window with a plain look, where you can use the file browser to locate a PDF doc for conversion.
Seamlessly convert PDFs to a preferred image format
Unfortunately, batch processing is not supported, meaning that you are restricted to working with only one file at a time. All you have to do is point out the output destination and format, and click a button to start conversion; each PDF page is delivered to a separate image file. On task completion, PDF to Image Convertor pops up a message, indicating the success or failure of the job. There are no other noteworthy features provided by this piece of software.
Evaluation and conclusion
PDF to Image Convertor carried out conversion tasks in decent time during our evaluation, while remaining light on the system resources. We have not come across any issues, since it did not hang, crash or pop up error messages. However, the app comes bundled with a very basic set of features, considering its hefty price tag.
Its biggest disadvantage is that it does not implement support for batch conversions (e.g. entire directories with PDFs). Users may resort to other apps for creating images from PDF docs in batch mode, and many of them are free.

The room we stayed in was great! Very clean every day and very good size room. The pools were all very beautiful and very taken care of, my only complaint is that I wish the pools would have been just a little warmer. The variety of food and quality of the food was great! There was such a wide variety of things to pick from. Everyone at the Ocean Coral and Turquesa was friendly. Everytime you walk by an employee they would greet you. I loved that about this resort! The hotel in general was beautiful. It was very well ... kept and the grounds were beautiful. I was there for a wedding and it was the most beautiful wedding on the beach! They took very good care of the bride and groom. A group of 12 of us went on an excursion to Extreme, it's a zip line tour, ATV's, and cliff jumping/zip lining into a cenote. We payed around $80 each and was well worth every penny. Go through Paco at the Coco Bango booth, set up by the pool bar pool. He took such great care of us! My only true complaint about Ocean Coal and Turquesa is the road to get into it. That area of Mexico has been having more rain then ever before so the dirt road going into the resort (which is about a mile long), is filled with huge potholes and water. It took a long time to get to the resort once we got on that dirt road, but once you're on the resort it was well worth it. And I will say on my trip out of the resort on Sunday (1/12/14) to go home there had been sun for the past 3 days finally, and the road was 10 times better than it was a week ago before on my way in. They work hard to fix that road, but can only do so much with the rain. The bartenders were all really good and quick to get you a drink! They made some very tasty drinks and LOTS of tasty shots! This has seriously been the best trip I have ever been on! The entertainment staff are amazing at what they do! They genuinly care for people, they are hilarious, and they love what they do! I would definately recommend this resort to everyone! The group I went with, we are all talking about going back again next year! read hotel review

The key is convincing the people with the money or the drink tickets that having you around is worth the expense. A lot of people do that in an inelegant fashion and as much as people say they hate it, it works. Duncan Ross, of Fashion TV and founder of Miami Beach-based Internet radio station the Womb, recalls getting his share of free drinks as a club DJ. But many people abuse the notion of their own importance. "These are people who have no shame," he gripes. "They are parasites who put club owners on the spot until they almost feel embarrassed not to give them a free drink."
"For me it's quite shocking how people are so bold," comments Rumi owner Alan Roth. "They ask for everything." Tommy Pooch is philosophical. He knows there's a certain amount of toadying to put up with from the entourage to create the illusions that lure in the big fish. "I'm here thirteen years," he says. "I'm like one big callus." Ultimately no one wants to party alone. "It's a little bit incestuous," acknowledges promoter Max Blandford. "The fabulous people are the cost of doing business."
So now you know. Get out there and be fabulous. And if that doesn't work, get a job at a local rag and write about nightlife.

E. coli bacteria is found in food that hasn't been adequately refrigerated or has been mishandled during preparation, often by people who don't wash their hands after visiting the bathroom. It gives most people no more than a stomach ache, but can be dangerous for the elderly or people whose immune systems are compromised. This is why health authorities are worried about a type of superbug E. coli that is rapidly spreading in the UK. In August, E. coli was found in meals that were to be served to passengers on British Airways. If this continues to happen, it is inevitable that the antibiotic-resistant version will arrive on our shores.
Health workers aren't sure how this superbug is being transmitted. E. coli are common bacteria that normally live harmlessly in our intestines. They are a common cause of urinary tract infections.

River Road Landfill
Current Site Information
EPA Region 3 (Mid-Atlantic)Pennsylvania
Mercer County
South Pymatuning and Hermitage Townships
3rd Congressional District
Last Update: February 2014

River Road Enterprises
Erie Disposal Company
Current Site Status
The River Road Landfill site was deleted from the National Priorities List of most hazardous waste sites in January 2004. Although the site was removed from the list, the remedial actions completed under the PADEP landfill closure plan will continue to be maintained.
EPA is currently performing the third Five-Year Review and is scheduled to be completed no later than September 2014.
Site DescriptionThe River Road Landfill site located in Mercer County, Pennsylvania (11th Congressional District), is a 102-acre inactive landfill that operated from 1962 until 1986. The landfill accepted municipal and industrial wastes, including foundry and metal processing waste, polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) wastes, asbestos, and residues from tank car cleaning. Ownership of the landfill was transferred several times over the years. The current owner, Waste Management of Pennsylvania, Inc. purchased it in 1980 and used it only for the disposal of non-hazardous industrial wastes. The Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (PADEP) fined the company for several waste disposal violations, including discharging leachate into surface waters and operating a solid waste disposal area without a permit. The facility received a permit in 1984 for solid waste disposal but stopped receiving waste in May 1986. PADEP approved closure activities in 1987 were comprehensive, and the site now is fenced, and access is restricted. Approximately 4,500 people live within a mile of the site, and 9,000 people live within three miles. The closest residents live less than one-half mile away. Two sedimentation ponds catch runoff from the site, and control spillways draining into the Shenango River, which is located next to the landfill's southern border. This river is a water source for 75,000 industrial, commercial, and residential customers in Pennsylvania and Ohio, and the Shenango Valley Water Company's water intake is two miles downstream of the site.
Site ResponsibilityThis site is being addressed through federal and potentially responsible parties' actions.
NPL Listing HistoryOur country's most serious, uncontrolled, or abandoned hazardous waste sites can be cleaned using federal money. To be eligible for federal cleanup money, a site must be put on the National Priorities List. This site was proposed to the list on January 22, 1987 and formally added to the list October 4, 1989.
Threats and ContaminantsThe groundwater is contaminated with volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from wastes disposed of at the landfill. Soil beneath the cap contains detectable amounts of PCBs and other phenolic compounds. Accidental ingestion or direct contact with contaminated groundwater or soil is prevented by the cap and fencing.
Contaminant descriptions and risk factors are available from the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry, an arm of the CDC.
Cleanup Progress
In 1987, Waste Management of Pennsylvania carried out a Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (PADEP) approved landfill closure program that entailed placing a cap over the landfill to keep rainwater and runoff from spreading contaminants, installing a leachate collection system and a ground water dam, controlling erosion and sedimentation, revegetating the site, and fencing the area.
EPA and Waste Management signed a consent order in 1990, in which the company agreed to conduct an intensive study of problems at the site. The investigation explored the nature and extent of contamination and recommended the best approaches for final cleanup. The EPA Record of Decision (ROD), completed in 1995, specifies continued operation and maintenance of the remedial activities completed under the PADEP closure plan, and implementation of deed restrictions at the site as the selected remedy for final site cleanup. A Consent Decree requiring the Potentially Responsible Parties (PRPs) to implement deed restrictions and operation and maintenance of the selected remedies was entered in February 2000. In 1999, an Explanation of Significant Difference updated the cost of the selected remedy by adding the costs of operation and maintenance of the long-term remedial activities. In July 2000 Institutional Controls prohibiting installing groundwater wells and soil excavation were established. The Site was removed from the NPL in January 2004. In September 2009, the Second Five-Year Review confirmed that the remedy is functioning as designed. In coordination with the PADEP, EPA continues to review the Site's groundwater monitoring data on a quarterly basis. The third Five-Year Review is currently being performed and is scheduled to be completed no later than September 28, 2014.

Jack Randall Photography
For photographers, the process of capturing meaningful portraits requires more than first-rate equipment and technical know-how. As the team at Jack Randall Photography knows, photographers must also establish a comfortable environment for their subjects. Armed with high-resolution digital cameras, Jack Randall's photographers capture casual poses and candid moments during shoots conducted at their indoor studio.
I thoroughly enjoyed the whole "event" of the photoshoot as well as the experience of visiting the location to view our pictures.Lisa Soso W., Yelp, 4/2/12

Sometimes, simple can be a good thing. Doctor Doom is one of the greatest villains in all the Marvel Universe, because as a character, he's exactly what's promised on the tin. He is a doctor who will bring you your doom. He is evil because he considers himself superior to the entire human race, and doesn't mind expressing this by trying to rule it every once and a while. He's the perfect match for a science-based team like the Fantastic Four, because he's formidable in what they specialize in—science—as well as what they cannot accept: magic. This is something Mark Waid and the late Mike Wieringo masterfully illustrated in their classic (and highly recommended) Fantastic Four story "Unthinkable."
Next summer's Fantastic Four film doesn't seem to want anything to do with that.

Joan Rivers Reads Me My Rights
They--meaning like coaches, therapists, those sorts of types--tell you it's not good to bring your work home with you, but it's just simply unavoidable for me. When channel surfing, I will inevitably end up on an infomercial or shopping channel hawking beauty products and won't be able to blink. They mesmerize me--even though I've probably already tried the product, I get sucked in and almost mindlessly pick up the phone and say, "Yes! I think that robot that shapes eyebrows while giving me a pedicure and singing jazz standards will change my life." (This hasn't been invented yet, but if it existed, I'd buy it.)
The Right to Bare Legs corrective cover-up, $29.99, righttobarelegs.com
Right now, I have my finger on the dial to order Joan Rivers' (we like her here) hilariously named The Right to Bare Legs, a "corrective-concealer formulated to camouflage leg or body imperfections." Most of the women who call in on QVCor appear on her infomercial are definitely older than me, but I have transparent, pale skin, so any bump or bruise shows up with extreme intensity, and I'm clumsy so there are a lot of them (which I inherited from my dear mother, who broke her leg slipping on a worm--truth). Plus, I got attacked by a coral reef in the spring that left a nasty little mark on my leg. I'm not even kidding --I'm getting this lotion! Has anyone tried it yet?

Posts tagged: Jeff Choate
FROM PULLMAN — It's another gameday in Pullman, though this one doesn't bring as much hype as the last. Nevertheless, the Cougars will play a basketball game against Fresno State today at noon, and we'll be there. First, links.
FROM PULLMAN — It appears as if Washington State may have to find a new linebackers coach. The website CoachingSearch.com, along with the El Paso Times, reported Saturday that Jeff Choate will join new UTEP coach Sean Kugler as that team's defensive coordinator.
As of this writing, a WSU has neither confirmed nor denied the report.
If you'll recall, we profiled each of Mike Leach's new assistant coaches during the first few months of the year. Choate was very direct about why he left Boise State for WSU — he felt that he'd been pigeon-holed into a special-teams role, and found it difficult to move up the ladder because of that.
"I had interviewed for head (coaching) jobs and that was one of the things that came up – you haven't been an offensive coordinator, you haven't been a defensive coordinator," Choate said at the time, "which quite honestly I think is ridiculous, because as a special-teams coordinator you address the entire team. It's probably the best training ground for being a head coach."
So he took the linebackers coaching job at WSU, obviously with the hope that it would lead to bigger things in a way his job at Boise State wasn't going to. Choate also reportedly talked with Idaho about its head coaching job in November.
Choate was given quite a bit of responsibility coaching WSU's linebackers, and also helped coach special teams, too. He talked about having players over to his house for dinner every now and then, and was instrumental in bringing together a linebacker corps that showed pretty well this season considering how many question-marks surrounded that group after the dismissal of C.J. Mizell and Sekope Kaufusi.
(And in an odd bit of WSU connectivity, the UTEP job was open because former WSU coach Mike Price retired at the end of the season.)
We'll update if more information becomes available.
Christian Caple can be reached at email@example.com. Twitter: @ChristianCaple
FROM PULLMAN — Thursday means light work for Washington State, and that was the case again this afternoon. Not a whole lot to report on the practice front, though we did speak with linebackers coach Jeff Choate afterward, and have his comments below. Read on.
FROM PULLMAN — It was the typical Thursday practice in terms of the workload — special teams, then a whole lot of scout work on both ends of the field followed by the standard "Thursday Night Football" team session for the scout-teamers at Martin Stadium. But today's practice also brought news of a change to the starting defensive lineup. Read on. Or watch the video above. Or both.

text: Looking back to previous posts makes me realize that I don't wear striped clothes that often. It's not that I don't like stripes, it's just that – for some unknown reason – I don't own a lot of striped items. Anyway, I recently rediscovered this skirt in my closet and I decided to wear it last weekend. To create a clean look I used white nailpolish, which is actually no more than one shade of my french manicure set. It's the first time I tried white nails and I can tell you I don't want my nails to be another color anymore (that's a slight exaggeration, but I'm sure you'll understand my point of view). I always thought it would look scary (no judgement about my kind of strange ideas about the world please, haha) but nothing is less truth. Soooo.. if you've got any recommendations about a brand that sells a long-lasting white nailpolish, please tell me. :)

Voluntary Worldwide Field Corrective Action Issued For The T-piece Circuit Used On GE Healthcare's Giraffe And Panda Resuscitation Units
On June 26, 2012, GE Healthcare initiated a voluntary worldwide field correction of the T-piece circuit used with GE Healthcare's Giraffe and Panda resuscitation units. The T-piece circuits affected by this recall are sold under the following part numbers and contain a red inspection stamp (those containing a blue inspections stamp are NOT affected by this recall):
- M1091335 Kit, Circuit, T-Piece Disposable, 10 pack
- M1091316 Kit, Circuit, T-Piece Disposable, W MASK Size 0, 10 pack
- M1091365 Kit, Circuit, T-Piece Disposable, W MASK Size 1, 10 pack
The T-piece circuit used with GE Healthcare's Giraffe and Panda resuscitation units may impact patient safety. The issue occurs when the T-piece circuit is not able to achieve maximum PIP (Peak Inspiratory Pressure) of 45 +/- 5 cmH 2 O as measured by the built-in Airway Pressure Manometer during the pre-use checkout procedure. The built-in Airway Pressure Manometer of the resuscitation system is not affected by this issue and will accurately display airway pressure. Clinicians should always use the airway pressure manometer to verify Peak Inspiratory Pressure (PIP). The affected units were manufactured from September 10, 2009 to May 10, 2012.
GE Healthcare initiated the field correction on June 26, 2012, and began notifying customers with affected units through an Urgent Medical Device Correction letter and follow up has been conducted to confirm their receipt of the letter. Through these efforts, approximately 84% of identified customers have confirmed receipt of the safety instructions provided and have also confirmed all affected product has been returned or destroyed. The remaining unconfirmed customers are being contacted directly to resolve and close the issue as soon as possible. Customers have been directed to NOT use the T-piece circuit with the part numbers listed above and to isolate all affected product. To date, no patient injuries have been reported with this issue.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has classified this recall as a Class I recall. FDA defines Class I recalls as "a situation in which there is a reasonable probability that the use of or exposure to the violative product will cause serious adverse health consequences or death."For additional information regarding this field correction or to arrange return and/or replacement of the product, please contact GE Healthcare Customer Service at 1-800-345-2700.

Spoon over baked zucchini mixture.
Spoon over baked zucchini mixture.
This looks good! Thank you. Can you tell me approximately how many zucchini I'll need to get four cups shredded? Thanks.
Whenever I need to squeeze out shredded veggies, I freeze the resulting nutritious liquid in an ice cube tray and use it when I need to thin something out, or throw it in soup in place of water. Or water a houseplant with it.
We made this tonight and it was soooo good! We used ground turkey instead of beef and added pepperoni instead of green pepper. It was delicious and we didn't even miss the bread portion of the pizza. We'll definitely be making this again! Thanks
Yum! Low carb too, can't wait to try it.
thanks, pinned two of them to try later, can't wait for the Pizza one
[…] week I posted a recipe for zucchini pizza casserole since a lot of home gardeners are overrun with it right now. I'd like to continue the garden […]

What is in this article?:
Here are eight ways you can better promote, sell, and deliver on sponsorships that will make you—and, of course, your sponsors—happy.
Donna Kastner, director, expo/sponsor sales and activation, Velvet Chainsaw Consulting, tossing a Catchbox mic to an attendee of her session on sponsorship at Cvent's Association Meetings Summit in Las Vegas June 18–20.
Making the Sale
4. Sell Selectively
Organize your sales efforts around your best customers and their goals, not what you're selling. "The trend is toward fewer, more expensive sponsorships," she added.
5. Use Your Leaders
Focus the majority of your time on the top 10-25 companies who have the most to offer. Kastner suggested tapping board members and your organization's leaders for help in finding the right person at these companies. They probably know someone in those top 10–25 companies and can make introductions for you: "Match power with power," she said.
6. Make a Customized Pitch
Keep the conversation strategic. "These people won't buy off a menu," said Kastner. Ask what they are they looking to accomplish this year. Understand their objectives, then come back to them with recommendations for three premium bundles that will help them accomplish their goals. Choose one of the three that you believe would be the best fit, and explain why. "Make it about them first, and you much less and later."

okay.. I made it work.. but.. and its a big butt.. its not worth the hassle.. I can only use 480 i.. where as I could use up to 1070 resolution and see the picture.. and changing the resolution was a major hassle.. the res button wouldn't work.. so I had to take the whole deal apart and then use a yellow video cable , change the res by way of the menu.. and then put the whole deal back.. and during a power outage .. the res went back to 480p..
no.. the picture was hardly different.. not close to being noticeable. and I don't have the problems..
maybe on a newer set.. but not on this one.. sorry kids to let you down..

Hi, re: RFC2518 issue: PROPFIND_INFINITY. So the plan is that servers MAY reject PROPFIND with depth infinity, and the currently suggested return value is 403 (forbidden). Now what applies to PROPFIND should apply to REPORT as well, right? The ACL draft defines only reports with depth == 0, and requires 400 (bad request) otherwise. RFC3253 is silent about that issue, suggesting that servers may not reject the request. It would be nice if we could make this consistent before it's too late...

How to Refinish Metal Patio Furniture
It's easy to give old metal patio furniture a new life by refinishing it. Refinishing the furniture will remove rust and peeling paint. The refinishing process can also be used just to change the color of the furniture. If your outdoor furniture needs a new appearance, use these tips on how to refinish metal patio furniture.
1Cover your work area. Use newspaper, plastic bags, or a tarp to protect the surface or floor.Ad
2Remove the furniture cushions, rubber caps and tips. The caps and tips are located on the end of the arms or bottom of the feet of patio furniture.
3Put on protective equipment. The products used in refinishing metal furniture have strong fumes. Wear a face mask to cut down on the fumes and small particles that can be inhaled. Use gloves to protect your hands from the products.
4Remove rust and peeling paint. Use a wire brush or medium grade steel wool to scrub away the rust and paint. If the furniture is heavily rusted, use naval jelly instead.
- Naval jelly dissolves rust. Apply the jelly generously to all parts of the metal furniture. Leave the naval jelly on the furniture for approximately 15 minutes. Rinse off the dissolved rust with a hose and let the furniture dry before moving on.
5Fill in any holes. Use a liquid metal filler for holes or dents in the metal furniture. Allow the filler to dry completely, which can take a few hours.
6Sand rough spots. Use fine grit sandpaper to gently sand the areas where you applied the liquid metal filler. These areas should be even with the rest of the metal.
7Apply metal paint primer. Spray an even coat on the furniture using short strokes. This helps avoid paint drips caused by heavy paint application. Let the primer dry 5 to 10 minutes.
8Apply metal spray paint. Let the paint dry 5 to 10 minutes. Apply the second coat. Let the second coat dry 20 minutes prior to using the furniture or replacing the cushions.
We could really use your help!
Adobe Photoshop?
- Carefully sand any areas of old paint that have bubbles in them. The bubbles indicate that rust is forming beneath the existing paint and if the rust isn't removed, it will eventually damage any new coats of new paint.
- If the metal furniture is very rusty or has a lot of peeling paint, use a small electric sanding tool to remove the rust and paint. Be careful not to apply too much pressure because this can weaken the metal that may eventually create holes in the metal furniture.
- Refinish your metal outdoor furniture on a day when there is not a lot of wind in order to avoid spreading fumes, primer, or metal spray paint.
- Call these guys.... Slingmasters.com
- Naval jelly is made with phosphoric acid. Be sure to wear rubber gloves and safety goggles to avoid potentially serious injury. Use naval jelly outside or in a well-ventilated room with a mask so you won't breathe in the fumes.
- Keep pets and small children away from your work area while you are refinishing your metal furniture.
- If your metal furniture is very old and is painted, the paint may contain lead. Use a mask to avoid inhaling any paint dust or chips.
Things You'll Need
- Newspaper, plastic bags, or tarp
- Heavy duty work gloves
- Rubber gloves
- Protective goggles
- Mask
- Wire brush or fine gauge steel wool
- Fine grit sandpaper
- Naval jelly
- Garden hose
- Metal paint primer (spray)
- Metal spray paint
- Patio furniture cushions (if desired)

September 19, 2004
U.S. Education Secretary Rod Paige touted President Bush's educational reforms on Saturday at a packed, muggy Highland High School auditorium.
Paige was the keynote speaker for Gilbert's weeklong 2004 Constitution Fair that ended Saturday night.
Despite rain, cancellations and numerous delays, Paige spoke for 20 minutes as part of an hour-long patriotic program celebrating the U.S. Constitution.
"Because of the high expectations under No Child Left Behind, test scores are higher than ever," he said. He also commended the president for supporting charter schools because "they offer parents more choices."
Paige's speech wasn't all rosy. "We spend the most of any nation on education, yet we are in the middle of the pack," he said.
Paige said he was impressed by the crowd's willingness to brave Saturday's rainy weather to attend the patriotic event.
"Instead of the hay capital of the world, you'll be the Constitutional capital of the world," he said.
Gilbert may also be the toddler capital of the world. During the program, babies cried, children complained and the auditorium's main aisle was lined with baby carriages as the town lived up to its reputation of having the highest population of children under 5 in the nation.

December 18, 2014
ROME (AP) -- Italian police say they have arrested 70 nurses and hospital attendants who allegedly got jobs in hospitals by using fake medical diplomas.
Police in Naples say the suspects, some of whom had been practicing since 1975, bought the fake diplomas from an organized crime group for up to euro15,000 ($19,000). The suspects, who worked in Italy's southern Calabria region, were placed under house arrest Wednesday.
The criminal organization provided brief training in basic skills such as taking patients' blood pressure and giving injections. One of the people arrested allegedly passed along answers to a medical entrance exam so the suspects could cheat.
The investigation was launched after a doctor raised concerns about incompetent nurses.

As ini .25 ACP? Never even heard of them. They would have, like, 20 pellets? .22LR shotshells are less than stellar performance outside of 20' through a rifle. .25 ACP out of a 1 1/2" barrel will yield an effective range of about, contact range. The rodents will not sit still that long and You probably do not want to get that close to a venomous snake.
In life, strive to take the high road....It offers a better field of fire.

By Steve Hamm Typically, companies are reluctant to publicly blame a partner when something goes wrong. But when Apple Computer (AAPL) reported second-quarter earnings on July 14, it didn't hold back. It blamed IBM's (IBM) failure to deliver enough microprocessors for Apple's inability to satisfy demand for its popular Power Mac G5s. Said Chief Financial Officer Peter Oppenheimer: "We're extremely unhappy with these events."
IBM isn't the only company having problems making chips these days. Intel's (INTC) delivery of Prescott, its most recent Pentium processor, was delayed by more than six months, until February, while it worked out design problems. And leading chipmaker-for-hire Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (TSM) has experienced delays as well.
Indeed, the troubles are industrywide, as chipmakers run into limits in their constant quest to pack more power and performance into semiconductors. Although it was always clear that one day they would start to hit a wall, that day appears to be arriving earlier than expected.
THE PRICE OF POWER. Because of the challenges posed by a major shift to more densely packed chips, many companies, including chipmaker Advanced Micro Devices (AMD), have been slow to switch. "These are the biggest technology challenges the industry has faced since the 1960s," says Dan Hutcheson, chief executive of market researcher VLSI Research.
The effects could be far-reaching. For businesses and consumers, ever-more powerful chips will be a little slower in coming, and prices won't drop as quickly as in the past. For the industry, it means the cost of building a chip-fabrication plant, which averages $2.5 billion today, will get more expensive, as will operating costs. Companies with the most advanced design and manufacturing technologies -- including Intel and IBM -- could get even stronger.
These challenges are emerging at a time when analysts are concerned about a slowdown in chip demand in the second half of the year. On July 12, Merrill Lynch (MER) lowered its revenue- growth forecast for the global chip industry in 2005 to 6%, from 16%. Likewise, on July 14, Intel disappointed investors with news that its inventories had risen 15%, depressing profit margins.
"A SEMINAL SHIFT." While most analysts see the recent slowdown as cyclical, the technical problems increasingly bedeviling chipmakers presage a significant long-term challenge. As semiconductor parts get ever thinner, the chips are burning hotter. That's happening as manufacturers shift from components that are 130 nanometers wide to 90 nanometers -- just a few atoms. The situation is expected to worsen over the next few years with the move to 65-nanometer technologies.
For the industry to keep its usual pace of doubling the amount of transistors it puts on a chip every 18 months to 24 months, it had to do a lot of innovating with chip design as well as new materials and manufacturing processes. However, when manufacturers resort to all sorts of tricks to boost chip performance while preventing them from literally burning up, those modifications give rise to design and production problems. "We're in a seminal shift in the industry," says Bernard S. Meyerson, IBM's chief technology officer. "Conventional wisdom doesn't necessarily apply anymore. You have to rely on invention."
IBM is a chip-technology pioneer, so its struggles with Apple's processor are doubly embarrassing. It took IBM more than six months to fix glitches at its East Fishkill (N.Y.) plant that kept yields -- the number of usable chips on a 12-inch wafer -- unacceptably low. Big Blue seems to have ironed out the glitches: Output doubled last quarter and is expected to double again this quarter, and Apple says it will stick with IBM.
"The whole industry has struggled with this transition. But because of our aggressive technology and designs, we tend to hit the bleeding-edge problems before our competition," says John E. Kelly III, senior vice-president in IBM's Systems & Technology Group.
ZIPPIER ELECTRONS. Intel has avoided the yield issues plaguing IBM and other companies that make chips to order, but it has had problems of its own during this switchover. Even after production delays, the Prescott chip hasn't performed as well as expected. Intel more recently canceled two other products and announced that it will make changes in the way it designs chips to help deal with the heat and performance issues.
To deal with these challenges, companies will have to employ a host of engineering improvements -- and come up with new breakthroughs every couple of years. IBM, for example, has developed a technology called silicon-on-insulator, which reduces power consumption and heat. It was also the first company to introduce so-called dual-core microprocessors, chips with two processors on a single piece of silicon that share tasks and eliminate the need to run at the high speeds that cause excessive heat.
Intel expects to deliver dual-processor chips next year -- and it, too, has been innovating. It's switching to a technology called strained silicon, similar to one being used by IBM, which makes electrons move faster. At the same time, Intel is also moving to a new chip-coating technique that will help reduce power consumption while increasing chip speed.
SQUASHING BUGS. Longer term, chip companies are looking at all sorts of exotic solutions, including more use of nanotechnology. Within the next decade, engineers envision using tiny carbon nanotubes as a partial replacement for silicon to cut down on chip overheating. Further out, scientists anticipate being able to make tiny transistors with single-atom switches, requiring infinitesimal amounts of energy to run.
For now, though, simply solving today's problems will require plenty of scientific breakthroughs. IBM has more than 50 research scientists at the East Fishkill plant to get the new manufacturing processes working properly. Until they're sure they can get the job done, they'll have to keep their heads out of the clouds. With Cliff Edwards in San Mateo, Calif., and Andy Reinhardt in Paris

Carnegie Mellon University
| StudentsReview ::
Carnegie Mellon University - Comments and Student Experiences
As a whole, the university has a lot of resources for its students. The career center is amazing, and we have an on campus medical center and counseling and psychological services. For academics, there's a lot of resources if you're struggling, including peer tutoring, study groups and supplemental instruction.
Most CMUers are slightly nerdy. It is just as common to see people playing video games on a Friday night as partying. But the average person will hang out with friends, often catching a movie in the UC, going to the game room or watching a play put on by the theater department. Student organizations are plentiful, and are easy to join.
The dining is fairly good, thanks to a new food company that they hired this year. Housing is decent.CMU is a great school for those that are motivated and intelligent and like a more nerdy atmosphere.
Professors: I rarely talked with professors but I've heard they're pretty friendly and accessible. This isn't some snotty school where all the professors are absorbed in their research to enhance the school's reputation.
Social Life: The social life may not be as great as people expect. It is true that the school is more heavily focused on academics, but I see no reason why people can't have the social life they desire. If you like to party, then there are plenty of frats that do so. You can even go to UPitt or the other 50 colleges in Pittsburgh to get your groove on. If you like to be a loner, that's always an option too and you won't be "alone" in that category as there are plenty of introverts here that prefer studying and quite environments. Most people are in between and I don't see how any part of CMU prevents those people from making friends and having a fun time.Advice: There is no doubt the school is academically challenging. You may feel overworked. You probably won't get the grades that you were thinking of getting. With this in mind, I think it's important to keep things in perspective. When you get a bad grade, don't beat yourself up thinking your a failure. Everyone knows this is a hard school. Everyone knows that grades aren't everything.

Officials from one eastern Kentucky county are saying they want to make sure something like that doesn't happen in their community.
Magoffin county officials are using grant money to keep social workers from walking into a bad situation.
Social Worker Lisa Murray says she never knows what could happen when she goes on a home visit.
"You still don't know what you're going to walk." Murray said.
Murray says all 60 kids in social services from Magoffin County are there because their parents first abused drugs and then that led to child abuse or neglect.
"We need to stop the cycle of substance abuse and use," Bertie Salyer said.
Health department officials believe if they can stop the substance abuse, then they can stop the child abuse and neglect.
"We must prevent them from succumbing to some of the same problems and circumstances," Salyer said.
County leaders recently got a 70-thousand dollar state grant to fight child abuse related to drugs.
Health department officials plan to hold community meetings to discuss the best ways to use the money to combat the growing problem.
They believe if they can stop the substance abuse then they can save a family, or even a life.
If you would like to be a part of those public meetings you can call the magoffin county health department at 606-349-6212.

David Reed's bright, paneled paintings were created by recombining several of his own works to create a single piece that spans varying moments in time in the artist's career. The graphic, vibrantly hued paintings call to mind Kenny Scharf's whimsical pop art, but stripped-down, more abstract and intuitive. Carrie Yamaoka's mixed media on reflective Mylar works offer another dimension to the paint-pouring technique, giving the viewer a reflection of herself in the space of the gallery, distorted and transformed by an undulating deep blue on the large, reflective surfaces.
The graphite-on-paper works of New York-based Roland Flexner stand out for their small scale and lack of color. A series of approximately five-by-seven-inch untitled pieces were made by dipping paper in water, then dipping it in a second tray of liquid graphite, then removing the paper and blowing on it through hollow tubes and spraying it with mineral water. The resulting compositions resemble photographic landscapes, haunting, otherworldly geological scenes captured in time.

24 Live Another Day Review: President Heller's Last Standby Christine Orlando at . Updated at . Comments
Heller made his last stand in 24: Live Another Day Season 1 Episode 8 - and what a way to go. Truly, no one is safe on 24.
Last week I wondered if this was actually some elaborate scheme to trap Margot. Unfortunately it was not, but Heller had certainly thought out his plan.
First, he would resign his presidency, that way this could be viewed as a personal decision instead of the United States negotiating with terrorists. It was a fine line but certainly a noble gesture on Heller's part. Still, I kept waiting for Jack to swoop in and save the day.
Unfortunately that was not to happen. As much as I hated losing President Heller, especially since I'm a long time fan of actor William Devane, if he had to go, this was the way to do it. Who would have ever guessed he'd be blown away by a drone missile in the middle of Wembley Stadium. Hope there wasn't a soccer game scheduled anytime soon because that's going to leave one hell of a divot.
I loved Heller somehow managed to keep his sense of humor despite his tragic circumstances...
Apart from this being the worst day of my life, I'm doing great.President Heller
His final scene with Audrey as they looked at the photo of their family at the beach during happier times was his way of saying goodbye even though Audrey didn't know it at the time.
And not being able to say goodbye or attempt to change her father's mind is something for which she may never be able to forgive Mark. How long will it be before she finds out that Jack was involved as well and that he actually delivered her father to his death?
Now we get to find out if Margot will be true to her word and destroy the drones. She sounded as though she would in this 24: Live Another Day quote…
Let the world see that justice was done and that even a so-called terrorist can keep her word.Margot
But her son Ian had his reservations. They've put a lot of effort into planning these attacks and killing a president may not be enough bloodshed for him. Of course given how Margot reacted to Simone's betrayal, Ian may be more willing to tow the line no matter what he may feel.
We saw very little of Kate or Chloe during this hour. I can only imagine how betrayed Chloe will feel when she finally learns of Adrian's betrayal. When the time comes, I hope she's the one who takes him down.
Finally, Jordan figured out that Navarro was the one trying to kill him. Now if he can just figure out how to keep himself alive to blow the whistle on him. And shouldn't all CIA agents have basic weapons training, even ones who are usually in the office? Knowing something as simple as if the safety was on that gun would have been very helpful and saved Jordan from a stab wound.
In the end, this may have been one of the best episodes of the season so far. I know I'll certainly never forget President Heller's last stand.
Tell us TV Fanatics, what did you think of President Heller's last stand?

What? No silent clock for Heller??!! Is my reaction at the end of the episode

He's not dead. No silent clock at the end which has been the case in every episode that a main character has been killed off. Chloe figured out how to make it look like the drone hit the field when in actuality it was diverted.

My exact thoughts. I don't think he's dead. Can't be that easy. Chloe has something to do with it.

This is all assuming that Heller is dead. Are we certain?

I've been pretty sure that Heller would sacrifice himself for a few episodes now, and, barring some last minute explanations, I think he did. Ironically, having the disease made it a pretty easy option as he goes out a hero and is not left to face failure and diminished capacity. Would have been more compelling without the illness. Then the choice would have had more impact. Not too much Kate or Chloe which is too bad. I think the computer tech will make it- than blood we saw flowing freely was likely the assassin's.
