Are we safer today after spending billions on homeland security? I don't think so, as this country continues to deteriorate from within. The funding that went to support this 'valuable' research and the entire DHS enterprise are part of the rotten and absurd windfall from the 9-11 attacks. We spend Read More >> |

An analysis based solely on finances fails to see the bigger picture. You can't put a dollar value on a human life. Ask anybody who has recently lost a loved one if they would spend a million, or a billion, or a trillion dollars to get them back, they would say yes. |

The cumulative increase in expenditures on U.S. domestic homeland security over the decade since 9/11 exceeds one trillion dollars. It is clearly time to examine these massive expenditures applying risk assessment and cost-benefit approaches that have been standard for decades. Thus far, officials do not seem to have done so and have engaged in various forms of probability neglect by focusing on worst case scenarios; adding, rather than multiplying, the probabilities; assessing relative, rather than absolute, risk; and inflating terrorist capacities and the importance of potential terrorist targets. We find that enhanced expenditures have been excessive. To be deemed cost-effective in analyses that substantially bias the consideration toward the opposite conclusion, the security measures would have to deter, prevent, foil, or protect each year against 1,667 otherwise successful attacks that each inflicted some $100 million in damage (more than four per day) or 167 attacks inflicting $1 billion in damage (nearly one every two days). This is in the range of destruction of what might have happened had the Times-Square bomber of 2010 been successful. Although there are emotional and political pressures on the terrorism issue, this does not relieve politicians and bureaucrats of the fundamental responsibility of informing the public of the limited risk that terrorism presents, of seeking to expend funds wisely, and of bearing in mind opportunity costs. Moreover, political concerns may be over-wrought: restrained reaction has often proved to be entirely acceptable politically. And avoiding overreaction is by far the most cost-effective counterterrorism measure.

Justin Timberlake stars as a "complex modern day hero" in a new edgy ad campaign entitled 'My Name is William Rast' for his premium denim and lifestyle clothing line William Rast.
Timberlake co-directed, co-wrote and composed the score for a series of mini movies that supplements the Fall/Winter 2008-9 print ads. The movies are also directed by Jonas Akerlund.
Model Erin Wasson stars as Birdie, Rast's partner in crime.
Reportedly, Timberlake did not want to be featured in the ad campaign at the beginning. However, creative director Johan Lindeberg convinced him with the idea of playing a role, a rebel character that is not Justin Timberlake himself.

Educational Tutor
Education is a major element of a child's development. For parents wanting the peace of mind that their child is receiving the proper education, extracurricular tutoring can be the preferred method of extending educational training beyond public school. There is one main requirement for starting this type of instruction business: You must be an expert in the field in which you intend to teach or tutor.
Beyond that, this business is very simple to start. You can operate on a mobile basis by going to the client, or from your home office with the client coming to you. Build a customer and referral base by joining community business associations and parent-teacher associations. Networking and self-promotion is probably the best marketing strategy.
Tutoring is a competitive industry, and gaining the upper hand requires explanation and disclosure of credentials firsthand. Current rates for a professional tutoring service vary from a low of $18 per hour to a high of $35 per hour, depending on the course material and complexity.

Not so long ago, the way to immortalize a wedding, graduation, birthday or other special event was only with photographs. Now, with video cameras, everybody can be the star of their own big day or night--except that it's hard to be a member of the wedding party and film it, too, and most people have a tendency to take shots of walls as often as people. But if you're a sharpshooter with a video camera, you can capture it all as a videographer. You'll roll tape, then edit your work and provide copies. Establish relationships with wedding, party and event planners who can refer you to their customers, and place ads in your local newspaper.

Garage & Attic Cleaning/Hauling Service
Nobody likes to spend a weekend cleaning out the garage, attic or garden shed--it's dirty and time-consuming, and when it's done, there's still the task of hauling off all that discarded junk. But if you don't mind putting in the physical labor, a cleaning and hauling service can be a lot of fun. You can usually find a few treasures among the trash which most people are delighted to give away, and you can add to your income by recycling bottles, newspapers and metal castoffs. You'll need a pick-up truck or other vehicle capable of carrying everything from cast-iron sinks to old timbers. Start off by advertising in your local newspaper.

Or you can forego the collectible trade and buy new close-out merchandise from wholesalers to sell at major discounts. To get started, you'll need to obtain a resale license, then start searching for flea markets with a base of deep-pocketed customers and reserve your space. Y

From the President: Greetings!
Dear Buffalo State Colleagues,
I am delighted to report that my wife, Ronnie, and I have successfully completed our move from Missouri to New York and are settling in at 152 Lincoln Parkway. We couldn't be happier to be in Buffalo!
Today I officially take up residence in the President's Office on the fifth floor of Cleveland Hall and begin my new role as president. I am honored to become part of this vibrant and thriving campus community and to carry on the work that our provost, Dennis Ponton, has been doing so well. I want to thank Dennis for his service as interim president, and will rely on his expert counsel—and that of the college's terrific vice presidents and deans—in the weeks and months ahead.
I will also be eager to hear from as many of you as possible as we chart a strong course for the future of Buffalo State. I plan to conduct a "listening tour" to gain a sense of where all members of our college community think Buffalo State should be headed, as well as where its greatest challenges and opportunities lie. Your thoughtful and informed perspective on this institution will be tremendously helpful to me.
For now, though, enjoy the magnificent Buffalo summer. And thanks so much for the warm welcome you have already given me and my family.

The Minnesota Opera's Michael Christie will be standing in for conductor Larry Rachleff this weekend, leading the Rhode Island Philharmonic in a performance of Gustav Holst's hour-long salute to the solar system, "The Planets."
The women of the Providence Singers will join Christie and the orchestra for the eerie, dark Neptune section of the popular score.
Christie, who just gave up the music director's post at the Phoenix Symphony, became the first-ever music director of the Minnesota Opera last season. Before that he was the conductor of the Brooklyn Philharmonic and the Queensland Orchestra in Australia.
"The Planets" is one of his specialties.
Saturday's concert, which takes place at 8 p.m. at Veterans Memorial Auditorium, opens with Schumann's seldom-heard cello concerto with Colin Carr in a return engagement with the orchestra. Tickets are $15-$100 and are available at riphil.org/tickets or at (401) 248-7000.
Christie will also lead a full performance of "The Planets" Friday at 6:30 p.m. as part of the orchestra's Rush Hour series. That performance is also at Veterans Memorial Auditorium, and tickets range from $15-$50.

When Ken Lewis first announced he was retiring from Bank of America last fall, Rochedale Securities analyst Dick Bové absolutely lost her shit. She knew there was nothing voluntary about this forced retirement, and that her man was being cut down in his prime. Her friends told her not to get involved, that it would emasculate Ken and just make things worse, but she couldn't help it– she couldn't even see straight she was so mad! I mean, really! The "success" of Bank of America was "due to the brilliance of Ken Lewis as a visionary and tactician." And now they were going to push him out?? The guy who "no other banker in this country can equal in achievements but wishes s/he could"?? I'm sorry, no, she did not accept that.
She couldn't talk to Ken about it, obviously, as it would just upset him, so after he passed out one night, she sneaked into the other room where he couldn't hear her and called every single member of the board, begging them to not make this mistake. She pulled out all the stops, and even offered HJ's to anyone who would help, but nobody would budge. That's when she really freaked out. She momentarily considered driving over to their homes in the middle of the night to make a scene on their front lawns, where she would park her Chevelle. "Let them call the cops!" she said to herself, biting pieces of her hair, which she does when she's really in a tizzy. But even in her rage she realized that was not the wisest course of action, if history is any guide (the last time she pulled that stunt it did not end well). Oh, but she was not going to let those "fucking pigs" get away with this. So took a deep breathe, splashed some cold water on her face and sat down to give everyone one a piece of her mind, in a report entitled, "Bank of America Should Beg Ken Lewis To Stay." The thing got a little traction, in that anyone even vaguely interested in taking over for KL suddenly backed out, out of fear that this crazy lady was going to make good on her threats to "make the life of Ken's replacement a living hell," though tragically, as you know, they finally found someone to take the job. While in theory Bové accepted that Brian Moynihan was the new CEO, she made no bones about the fact that she didn't like it. On his first day on the job, she keyed the words 'You suck' into his car, and she worked diligently to uncover any dirt she could on the guy that could potentially get him fired. She would send him 3AM emails from anonymous addresses that weren't fooling anyone, telling BriMoy "You'll do it like Ken did. Never!"
Eventually though, something strange occurred, and the analyst started to change her tune on the guy. No one really knows when it happened, or why (theories include her resentment over Ken refusing to get a new job, and only leaving the couch to grab another beer, the realization of common interests, and so on and so forth) but somewhere along the line…Dick started to like what she saw. And now? This:
"He's really come out strong," says analyst Richard Bove, who covers banks at Rochdale Securities. I was not a fan at first, but I have become one."
Now Ken's home watching the clock and Bové is out scrambling to find the perfect dress for BAC's next earnings call, one that shows off her tits but doesn't make her intentions look too obvious. FYI, this is how it starts.

I love the Bove sagas. Bess – do you come up with the story lines in advance, or when there's an opportunity for one do you just pound a few gimlets and let the Muse take over?
@2 – "pound a few gimlets"… Bove is that you?

Thank you. And no, it is not OK to address a group of analysts or bankers of which I may be a part as "you guys."
@12 dude, shut up. your comments aren't funny, and this is about Bove cheating on Lewis. stay on topic.
Brilliant BL.
i wonder if she's a vajazzler..
@14…"referential education", a core ingredient of most of the worthy literary comments published on this site —which is what @12 was trying to share with you— is not often comedic. If you had gotten past the first year at DeVry, you would have learned that.
What She has figured out is that for this sh!t for brains to have made it to the top of BAC can only imply t-to-the-a…there, now her intentions are known…
of course being CEO of BAC is like being the least smelliest turd in the porto-let….just sayin'
Pflugie, although I would not quibble with elevating Bess' journalism to that plane occupied by HST's, there is a not-so-subtle difference between "gonzo journalism" and Levinism. Not that I expect a thug to recognize it.
The words brilliance and commercial banking don't seem to go well together
Of course it's not perjorative. Gonzo journalism has a participatory quality that is essential but generally lacking in merely Levinist journalism. Except for maybe the night she crashed the SAC holiday party. Ironically, the Thug's tendency to become part of the stories he covers is more Gonzo in this sense, although he lacks imagination and is rarely entertaining, enlightening, or conveying socially redeeming value.
@28 How would you describe "Levinism"?
If Bove read this, I don't know if he would be amused, aroused or ashamed.
BofA and it's CEO reminds me of that song by John Lennon and George Harrison titled "Piggies" I invite you to listen to this song on youtube and see if it appropriately fits.
Have you seen the little piggies

And for all the little piggies
Life is getting worse

That is very exciting! I hope it all works out for you. Have a great time.
Not a trip report but I can't help but feel giddy and share.
My school's break starts next, next week. Two nights ago, I thought, "Gee, wouldn't it be awesome to spend some of spring break in Disney World? In my dreams."
Last night, being back home for the weekend, I browse the laptop while my mom's watching TV. Btw, my mom wears the pants as far as DVC membership-Disney vacations go... meaning $$$. So I can't help but tryyyy to hint this WDW craving by sheepishly bringing up the cost of airline tickets to Orlando.
"Check out the prices for roundtrip to FL. Not bad, huh? Not that I'm implying anything (yeah right)."
She replies, "Uh-huh."
Some minutes later in the car, I'm driving and thinking of a way to lightly ask if there was any chance of going to WDW for spring break. As in, w/ friends, b/c the rest of my family either can't take off/doesn't have off the same week. Also understand the chances of my mother allowing & supporting such a trip is fairly close to 0. I'm privileged, but not THAT privileged.
Preparing myself for blunt rejection, I'm stiiill trying to figure out how to casually ask w/o making it a big deal.
Finally, "Is there any itty-bitty, itty-bitty, itty-bitty possibility that Disney World could happen spring break?" Literally said like that, hahahaha.
Almost instantly, she unsarcastically says, "Yeeeaaah, okay."
That's basically my sweet story. Now booking a spot in x resort has to be taken care of, so I'm crossing my fingers preferred resorts are available at short notice. If not, c'est la vie.
Still incredulous. DISNEY! IN A WEEK! Not a few months, not ONE month, but A WEEK!

That's neat-o for sure.... You must give your mom much props now until the rest of her life... You don't want her thinking your spoiled or anything.... Oh btw... you think I could go with. You know, to um, supervise. yeah that's it SUPERVISE
April 23rd, oh yeah it's gonna be ON!
I booked a trip like that once. In 5 days on a plane. The adrenaline kicked in big time making arrangements and packing. By the time I was on the plane I could hardly sit still. There wasn't any anticipation just pure excitement.
hope your trip is wonderful

Article of the Day: Overvalued Players for 2012 – ThePigskinGuy.com
Posted by Rob Warner in SPIN Articles No Comments »
Much like in the stock market you never want to get caught up in the hype and buy at the ceiling – remember that Facebook IPO ?
Today we present an article form ThePigSkinguy.com that cautions fantasy owners to slow their roll on some players that are getting a little too much hype.
One piece of strategy that we are completely on board with is tightening your purse strings when WRs come onto the auction board. This is the deepest position in fantasy football and solid value can be had outside the top 10. Rookie Julio Jones has unlimited potential but battled an ankle, hamstring and back injuries in his first season. We like him more than teammate Roddy White but the dynamic duo will likely keep each other from top 5 fantasy WR status.
Ryan Mathews seems to be a trendy breakout candidate now that Mike Tolbert has moved on to Carolina. In two seasons, the Fresno State alum has missed 6 games which should raise concern as to whether he can carry an inflated workload. Norv Turner has proclaimed Mathews as his new workhorse so 20-25 carries game are all but a lock provided he doesn't break down by midseason. The sky is the limit but durability concerns have us targeting the Chargers new-found bell cow slightly lower than where his current ADP sits (#5 overall).

Ex-Minutemen and -fIREHOSE bassist Mike Watt's upcoming solo debut, ball-hog or tugboat? is a who's who of alternative rock, including guest performances from Pearl Jam's Eddie Vedder and Dinosaur Jr's J Mascis. And as a founding father of indie rock, who better to give us a tour of some of its special moments? Here's what he said while flipping through the record racks at Kim's Underground in New York City.
BLACK FLAG Nervous BreakdownEP (SST) 1978: ''Flag helped set up the whole touring thing. A lot of punk bands in the '70s didn't want to tour. They were signed to majors or wanted to be, and aspired to be lazy rock stars.''
RICHARD HELL & THE VOIDOIDS Richard Hell EP (Ork) 1976: ''His first record. On the back there was a phone number and it said 'Call Hell.' So I called, but then I got scared and hung up when he answered.''
MINUTEMEN Double Nickels on the Dime (SST) 1984: ''Probably the best record I ever played on.''
WIRE Pink Flag (Harvest) 1977: ''These guys didn't need guitar solos or choruses. They taught me that music is what you do; there's no formula.''
BIKINI KILL Pussy Whipped (Kill Rock Stars) 1993: ''I like them. Punk is too boy-heavy, so it's good to see some girls doing it too.''

Remember WHEN I asked for recipes and advice on making squash pie? Well i have made two since then and they are very good. Thank you all for your prompt help. Today I froze seven bags of squash in 2 cups Will be easy to make a pie as I roll out about 18 pie crusts and put paper between them and freeze. Just place one over the pie plate and it thaws right down into the pie plate and then I form it I do that every fall Thank you again. |
Follow-Up Postings:
You've been busy! That's a lot of work, but I imagine it's a time saver for the future too. Interesting technique to just put it on the plate and let it thaw down into it. Thanks for sharing. |
Grams, please post your pie crust recipe! |

You can also use those aluminum pans to freeze the squash in. That way you can cook the pie crusts a bit, then just put the filling in all flattened out. |
HAPPY TO- 4 c flour 1-3/4 c shortening Tbsp sugar 2 tsp salt 1 egg 1/2 c cold water 1Tbsp vinegar. With fork blend the shortening and dry ingredients . In a separate dish mix the rest of the ingredients. combine the two until moistened. Dough can be left in the fridge 3-4 days or can be frozen. I triple or whatever and roll our many crusts and freeze. Works for me. |

[73] ATF2 in Synovial Sarcoma
Le Su, T Michael Underhill, Torsten O Nielsen. University of British Columbia, Vancouver, BC, Canada
Background: The SS18-SSX fusion oncoprotein in synovial sarcoma has no DNA binding domain and its mechanism of transcriptional dysregulation has been unclear. Using mass spectrometry, reciprocal immunoprecipitation (IP), siRNA and chromatin IP studies in synovial sarcoma cell lines, we were able to identify Activating Transcription Factor 2 as its probable DNA binding partner, abnormally bridged to the TLE1 corepressor by SS18-SSX. We sought to extend this study to other model systems and patient specimens, characterize target genes and survey ATF2 expression in sarcomas.
Design: Models: 2 synovial sarcoma cell lines, HEK293 cells engineered to express tagged SS18 or SS18SSX, mouse model synovial sarcoma cells. Patient specimens: 11 frozen primary synovial sarcomas including SSX1 & 2 variants, and tissue microarrays representing 57 synovial sarcomas and 219 other tumors. Methods: reciprocal IP, glycerol gradient fractionation, cell viability & apoptosis assays, expression profile analysis, chromatin IP and immunohistochemistry on tissue arrays
Results: ATF2, SS18-SSX and TLE1 reciprocally immunoprecipitate in patient specimens (SSX1 and SSX2), as do their murine homologues in mouse synovial sarcomas generated by conditional expression of SS18-SSX2. ATF2 binds SS18 but cofractionates with the repressor TLE1 only in the presence of SS18-SSX. Both ATF2 and TLE1 knockdowns induce apoptosis in synovial sarcoma. Seven target genes of ATF2, bearing its CRE consensus binding sequence in their promoters, were identified and all appear to be abnormally repressed in patient synovial sarcoma specimens. Chromatin IP assay demonstrates ATF2, SS18-SSX and TLE are all resident at the CRE elements in these target genes, true also of murine homologues in the mouse model. Histone deacetylase inhibitor drugs disrupt this complex, restore target gene expression and lead to cell death. Tissue microarrays reveal consistent and high ATF2 nuclear expression in synovial sarcoma, with only solitary fibrous tumor showing higher levels. However, its expression is not as specific as TLE1 as relatively high levels are also seen in melanoma/clear cell sarcoma, Ewing tumors and MPNST. Levels in other mesencymal tumors and carinomas are significantly lower.
Conclusions: The ATF2-SS18SSX-TLE1 complex is present in patient synovial sarcoma specimens. ATF2 directs SS18-SSX to target genes in synovial sarcoma, which become repressed instead of activated. While not as useful a diagnostic marker as TLE1, the combined presence of ATF2 and TLE1 in a complex explains a mechanism of action for SS18SSX, and suggests means of therapeutic intervention for which clinical trials have recently opened.

I know there are folks doing clay......so let's get this forum going again. I have been slow to post here too but it's like voting....everyone makes a difference. I just made some clay masks......will post pic in the gallery in a bit.
whatcha doing? |
Follow-Up Postings:
My latest claying was faces/masks too. Didn't sell on ebay though. :-/ Now, my 9 yr old is clay crazy! If not for him, my pasta machine would get rusty! He got a new blade and clay for Xmas, then yesterday more clay since Michaels had a special. He's graduated from Sculpey to Premo (Yay!) Recently he used a book from the library to make a police dog (dog standing upright, wearing a police uniform LOL!). Today he saw the AnKara girl on Carol Duvall making mosaics, so he looked at one of my books by Sue Heaser and made his own mosaic by cutting the "tiles" of different colors and arranging them. Now he wants to make a landscape cane (similar to a face cane, but with sky, mountains, things like that...) He probably will too. Last week he did a large painting with some of my acrylics. Took him about 5 minutes. Don't you envy the carefree attitude of kids??? I do! |

Tesoro Corporation ( TSO ) completed the transfer of the Anacortes Rail Unloading Facility to the master limited partnership (MLP) - Tesoro Logistics LP ( TLLP ). For the property, Tesoro Logistics made a payment of $180 million, of which $162 million was in cash and the remaining was through the partnership's equity. The facility - owned by subsidiary Tesoro Refining and Marketing Company - comprised of a four track offloading station, which has an unloading capacity of 100 car unit trains and permitted to hold nearly 50,000 barrels per day. Tesoro Corporation and its partnership also signed a throughput and use agreement associated with the rail unloading facility assets. Per the deal, the contract stands for an initial period of 10 years, with at least a daily throughput commitment of 40 million barrels as well as price escalations every year. Tesoro Logistics expects to witness an estimated additional annual logistics EBITDA of $19 million from this transaction. Prior to this divesture, Tesoro Corporation had passed on the Martinez Crude Oil Marine Terminal and the Long Beach marine terminal along with Los Angeles short-haul pipelines to Tesoro Logistics. These sales underline the attempt of Tesoro to expand the partnership's business horizon and broaden its asset base. San Antonio, Texas-based Tesoro Corporation is an independent refiner and marketer of refined petroleum products in the western U.S. The company operates in two segments: Refining and Retail. In early November, Tesoro came out with mixed third-quarter 2012 results, with earnings per share missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate and revenue going ahead of our projection. The company also announced a 25.0% increase in its quarterly dividend to 15 cents per share, or 60 cents per share annualized. While Tesoro Corporation - which has business ties with BP plc ( BP ) - currently holds a Zacks #3 Rank (short-term Hold rating), we maintain our long-term Outperform recommendation on the stock.

Create magical moments with these inspired ideas and feel-good products.
The One Thing My Toddler Can't Travel Without
Thanks to Disney for sponsoring this post and giving me CARS Spill Proof Sippy Cups for free.
Whether it be a road trip or a visit to the tropics via plane, there is one thing my son absolutely can not travel without — his sippy cups. I've been through my share of cups in the past, experiencing leaks, spills and messy disasters thanks to a lid that just magically popped off. We've been using the CARS Spill Proof Sippy Cups from The First Years for a few months now and love them!
Each cup is designed with its own spill-proof valve that is built into the lid so there are no little pieces to worry about — it's all-in-one. The cup walls offer double insulation so I can rest assured that my son's drink will stay nice and cold. We tested this out in the summertime and the cups fared very well. Even with the heat, the outside was completely sweatproof, making it easy for my son to handle.
These CARS cups have traveled across Canada, to the Caribbean and back, and they are still going strong!

The Blood Type Diet Archives Volume 13
Posted By: Pat (A+)Date: Friday, 28 April 2000, at 10:03 p.m.
In Response To: Tinnitis (Pixie O+)
I'm and A, but I have eliminated grains from my diet completely. Till your post I had not noticed that persistent tinnitus is practically gone! I have been aware for a long thime that what I ate made a difference, but it just quietly (no pun intended) faded away as I gave up grains. Thanks for alerting me to this positive change I simply had not noticed.
Pixie, with the 'flu you may have had some inner ear irritation, but when you are well over the "bug", see if foods do it. If you didn't have tinnitus before going on the ER diet, you could go back for a short time to your old diet (it won't kill you for a week or so), then add in the "new" foods you changed to, two at a time. If you get ringing ears, try one of the two foods. If no ringing, try another two. That might help you identify the source of the neurological irritation which causes your tinnitus. Then you can eliminate it -or just put up with the noise! It's a bit of a hunt for the elusive trigger. Just a few thoughts. Pat

Some of the hottest temperatures in history are being felt across parts of the United States this week.
The highest so far was recorded in Death Valley, Calif., at 129 degrees, tying the all-time June record high for the country, according to the National Weather Service.
Yuma, Ariz., registered 118 degrees and Las Vegas came in just one degree less at 117.
Meteorologists say the heat waves are getting longer and the danger with the extreme temperatures is that it's not cooling off at night.
More people die from heat-related issues each year than from tornadoes, hurricanes, floods, and lightning strikes combined.

Clockwork To Release Album
Life and Death has already made quite a name for itself in a very short period of time. Its early output has seen it gain an early reputation for quality releases with efforts from Thugfucker, DJ Tennis and Tale of Us all winning plaudits within the scene. They now follow this up with Italian duo Clockwork releasing the first feature length album on the imprint with the story led concept piece B.O.A.T.S. (Based On A True Story).
It's a rare success in the often muddled field of concept albums and actually succeeds in its aim of story telling throughout the journey through the LP. Couple this with their trademarkedly eclectic style and Clockwork and Life and Death have delivered a seriously grown-up and powerful take on techno.
Check out a sample offering of their latest offering and a link to a free download beneath.

The bridge in Murray Hill located at 149th Street between Roosevelt and 41st avenues is still blocked off, and local politicans are still looking for answers.
In 2010 the bridge above the LIRR tracks closed for construction funded by taxpayers' money. After delays, the bridge appeared to be finished in May 2012, but a city DOT inspection found cracks on the bridge making it unsafe to carry vehicles.
Janette Sadik-Khan, the city's DOT Commissioner, told Eyewitness News, "There were issues with the concrete and we're not going to open a bridge until it's safe."
The road is now blocked off with large orange barriers. There are sensors on the road to monitor the cracks, but pedestrians are able to walk across the bridge on the sidewalk.
The barriers can cause unsafe traffic as the bridge acts as a dead end, forcing cars not familiar with the area to make sudden U-turns.
"I have visited the site many times. I feel for the merchants because it's not fair," state Sen. Toby Stavisky (D-Flushing) said. "It's just not fair how the city has ignored this area."
Stavisky continued, "I represent the people who live on 149th Street and it's really cruel. Many of them are immigrants, and I think the city is taking advantage of these merchants — the Murray Hill merchants."
When the Queens Chronicle went to the site, a woman who works at the corner laundromat said she did not mind the situation on the bridge, adding that there is still plenty of parking space on the street.
However, Stavisky has received complaints from several merchants, explaining that their businesses are suffering.
Eyewitness News recently reported that a letter from the DOT to the bridge engineering firm Gandhi stated, "These cracks exist through the full depth of the bridge deck," to which Gandhi replied that the cracks could "be sealed with an epoxy sealer" to make the bridge safe enough for vehicular traffic.
It was also reported that the city blamed the firm for "failure to design a bridge in compliance with the minimum load requirements," leading to "significant structural defects."
Gandhi replied that the city's design used "one-third less steel than the conventional design" in order to save money, and so "the potential for the concrete bridge deck to crack is increased."
State Sen. Tony Avella (D-Bayside) sent a letter to Sadik-Khan regarding the bridge.
Avella wrote, "Gandhi states that the bridge was designed using the Isotropic or Empirical Method, which is a preferred bridge design method for the New York State Department of Transporation (NYSDOT)," explaining that this design "can potentially lead to developing longitudinal cracks on the bridge deck."
The letter ended with questions for the commissioner, asking if the agency authorized Gandhi to utilize the isotropic method for designing the bridge and what the reasons for allowing the isotropic design method were.
A previous DOT letter to Gandhi stated that since the contractor did not address concerns about the cracks, Avella also asked if legal action had been taken.
In letters to Commissioner of the state Department of Transportation Joan McDonald and Commissioner of the U.S. Department of Transportation Ray LaHood, Avella asked what their preferred design methods were and what corrective measures could be taken.
Stavisky has also tried to contact the city about the future of the site. On Feb. 28 she filed a Freedom of Information request with the city's DOT, asking for records pertaining to the construction of the bridge. Three weeks ago, she received a CD with approximately 500 documents totaling more than 5,000 pages.
"What I'm looking for is to see what steps are available — for the city to either have the contractor complete the work or for the city to recover the damages. I want to know whether legal action has commenced and what legal steps are being taken to open it to vehicular traffic," Stavisky said.
She added, "The city really has to be more responsive. We're going to give them specific questions and ask them to answer."

Why Adoption is a Great Option
Tom (super personality), a Sterling Hgts Domestic Mediumhair cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Mediumhair for sale in Sterling Hgts, or seeking a Domestic Mediumhair cat from a breeder in Sterling Hgts.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Sterling Hgts already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Sterling Hgts breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Domestic Mediumhair breeders who help with Domestic Mediumhair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Sterling Hgts paves the way for another one to be saved.

How are cash flow statements affected?
The income tax benefit from option exercises can substantially reduce or eliminate a company's current tax liability. Under FASB Statement No. 95, Statement of Cash Flows, and EITF Issue No. 00-15, "Classification in the Statement of Cash Flows of the Income Tax Benefit Received by a Company upon Exercise of a Nonqualified Employee Stock Option," the entire tax benefit, whether recorded in earnings or APIC, is an operating cash flow. Under Statement 123(R), excess tax benefits will be treated as a financing cash inflow rather than an operating cash inflow. As noted previously, for purposes of computing the income tax provision, the analysis of excess or deficient tax benefits is performed on an aggregate basis for all options exercised and all shares vested in a year. By contrast, for the cash flow statement, the analysis of excess or deficient tax benefits is performed on an individual grant basis. That is, the excess tax benefits for each individual grant with an excess tax benefit are aggregated to compute the amount of tax benefit treated as a financing cash inflow, with no offset for individual grants with deficient tax benefits. For example, assume that two stock options are exercised in 2006, one with an excess tax benefit of $100 and the other with a shortfall of $80. The excess and the shortfall are netted for purposes of computing the tax provision and the credit to APIC, and a net $20 would be added to APIC. On the cash flow statement, the $100 excess tax benefit will be reflected as a financing cash inflow; the $80 shortfall will not be netted. Thus, a company needs records and procedures to track this information on an individual grant basis.
Practical note: Companies should be mindful of the potential quantitative effect on operating cash flow, because the change may have an impact on compliance with debt covenants or on ratios or other measurements that use cash flow information.

text: Excellent article, thank you for posting. My only recommendation is that the "contacting their local representatives" link is to your U.S. Representatives, not your State Reps and State Senators in control of Washington State's 2011-12 Budget. Here is the link to the member roster for the State Legislature, I encourage readers to find out their (state) legislative districts when considering contacting their elected officials to ensure that their message is heard. Here is the link, emails to your state legislative officials are usually firstnameDOTlastnameATlegDOTwaDOTgov, but peruse leg.wa.gov and find out for yourself. http://apps.leg.wa.gov/rosters/Members.aspx Thanks again!

Recently, a few people have noted they got some great ideas from GW that they used successfully in their own gardens. Before I wrote my post complaining about slugs I got the idea of actually naming a few specific ideas and inviting others to as well. But then the slugs got the better of my gratitude.
It is not required to remember specifically who....but in this case I do. A shout-out to: NHBabs, you suggested amsonia with ninebark (not heuchera as I first imagined) Although I didn't have amsonia hubreckii, the a. tabermontana was sitting right there and got moved immediately. It looks good! And thyme2grow, your hillside continues to inspire me. I keep looking at my hillside with a slightly different perspective, with yours in my mind's eye. Thanks! Idabean |
Follow-Up Postings:
My first thought is that reading the landscape design forum got me to look at something besides individual plants. As cantankerous as that particular forum can be, it also opened my eyes to concepts such as a garden needing structure and hardscape, not just plants; that function should really come first (what do I want from my garden?); and that a garden composed only of little flowers with no attention to foliage and plant structure is pretty boring. I am sure that I will come up with others, but that is probably the largest influence on my gardens. |
I love garden tours and try to go on one or two every summer. While it's a privilege to visit some private gardens where the owners can invest huge amounts of money, I really prefer seeing gardens that the homeowners design and maintain by themselves. Thyme2grows (thyme2dig?) hillside shrub garden is a good example. Not only a wonderful collection but also a great solution to a problem slope. |

I really appreciate (and miss!) both Katy and George; Katy has such a good eye and an understanding of the principles of design, and George knows more about plants - especially hydrangeas - than anyone I've ever met. |
- Posted by spedigrees z4VT (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Mon, Jun 18, 12 at 11:42
The two inspirations that come to my mind are the concept of a container garden (by various members) that led me to establish my own "pot ghetto," and Pixie Lou's excellent suggestion for using pinwheels to deter critter destruction of tender young plants and to add color and motion to my vegetable garden. I'm thankful for both ideas, as well as individual plants and flowers I've seen pictured here that inspired me to plant the same in my own gardens. |
I tried to find "thyme2grow" pictures of her hill side with no luck. Where should I be looking? |
Jleek - the name is thyme2dig and if you look on any of the "show us you gardens" threads. Thyme just posted on the June thread. And there should be more pictures on the may thread - link on the June thread. |

I have many to thank. Before I got to the end of the OP's post, I was thinking of Thyme's slope. She even went out and measured it for me. But I see others in her debt. And also George (ego) -- how we miss his posts. But I have others to thank too. This is a particularly generous forum. I want to commend all those who organize swaps. The regional central CT swap, complete with fabulous plants and fabulous potluck food is an annual treat. When I see plants in my garden that I got from swaps, I am always so grateful. I do not think I would have a blue bird hydrangea if it weren't for George's generosity. A shout-out also to Claire for posting her annual hummingbird migration map so that we can all note when our hummers return. I love following their progress and seeing when our darlings return. And to the wintersowers, who are so zealous on their own forum. Particularly to Connecticut-er, Gardenweed, who doesn't post here much, but on cottage gardens. They are an inspiration. And I owe my drifts of galliarda and cosmos to inspiration from them. And to Gertrude Jekyll (talk about inspiration!) whose advice was, don't feel bad if you kill a plant -- you have to try. I have tried to find the source of this quote, but have been unsuccessful, so if anyone knows her exact words, I'd be happy to find out. |

power ports - page 2
Hoping for some opinions regarding power mediports (I think bard makes them) as I am all for our patients to have a port that can be used for contrast dye for CT but my collegeus and I are finding... Read More
0May 11, '09 by schlemjThank you so much for the feedback. I do see what you mean about the thicker septum, I too have needed to use more force when accessing the power ports. We have several oncologists in our practice, so who puts them in depends on what doc's patient it is. One of the docs will only use the vascular surgeons one doc uses the radiologist, and another uses general surgeon. I do agree that certain surgeons that are used seem to be more difficult but again there are just so many that won't give blood, even early on. I think the power ports are more difficult toaccess if they are deep compared to the traditional counterparts. We are having much better success with the smart ports (angiodynamics) wich are CT comapatable as well.
0May 16, '09 by iluvivtAlso use at least a 20 gauge power loc needle...rarely will use a 22 gauge..even on a regular port....b/c they do not draw as well.....I can not tell you how many x I got NO blood return or a sluggish one and de-accessed and re-accessed with a larger gauge and magically got a blood return...also a pre flush may help
0Jun 1, '09 by SamyRNAbout 1 year ago my facility switched from regular conventional port-a-caths to the power port. We have n-e-v-e-r had problems with any ports like we do with these! On average, we loose blood return on the power ports in the first two uses. We have used cathflo after fluro proves fibrin sheath. We may get the blood return back for a use or two, but then start all over again with the one way valve effect of fibrin sheaths. We flush by all the rules, using pulsatile technique, clamping during last 0.5ml of hep., etc. We have even left cathflo set in the port overnight, with little success. We have had more cracks and fractures in the last 6-8 months than we have had in the last 10 years! I feel fairly certain it is not due to change on technique or carelessness on the nurses part... why would we only have begun experiencing problems after initiating use of powerport?!?
Our surgeon refuses to place powerports now. We have gone back to the good old fashioned ports. -
0Jun 26, '11 by wrongwaydianneI've been a PACU/critical care/trauma/GI and now IR on the weekends nurse. I don't do IR much so I don't experience too many placements. My sister moved from AZ to NJ recently and has a power port for her scleroderma, which was put in mostly because her venous access in nearly impossible and she needs IV iron and frequent blood draws, so she's between medical insurance's and asked me to look into flushing these catheters. I did a IVC permcath placement and asked to radiologist what he thought, and he recommened she go to an ER and have placement checked and so forth. I know nothing about flushing these ports and will not harm my own sister. The label she gave me that Bard gave her gives the recommended flushing times if not used as q 4 weeks with heparinized saline, but what concentration? After reading the posts here, I'm just going to recommend that she go to the ED and explain her situation. I cannot believe the problems these things have, but I hope they can iron out the kinks for the patient's sakes. Thank you for listening. Thank God there's a place for nurses to talk to other nurses. Dianne
0Jun 26, '11 by ChristineNThe facilities I currently work at don't use Power ports, but I used to work somewhere that did. I don't recall any of us having major issues frequently except for one pt. That particular pt had her power port place "pre-puberty" and once she started to get breasts it was near impossible to get a blood return. TPA did nothing to her line, and even positioning was often ineffective.
0Jun 26, '11 by it's hot in phoenixWe use only power ports and love them, no heparin though and I use to use the 3/4 inch needle and would have an issue sometimes with blood retrn, but when I changed to the 1 inch needle, problem has been solved.
0Jun 27, '11 by wrongwaydianneI appreciate any replies to this, and I saw my sister yesterday. Her port is planted in the right subclavian and you can actually see the 3 dots. She is hoping to get into this nilotinib study at HSS in NY this year, and her port will be accessed use during the study. I just read all the side efffects of this drug and am leary about those, but at this point, she doesn't have much choice and she may not even be a candidate for the study because of her preexisting anemia and severe GI involvement. Time will tell. I hope to God this drug will help her and not harm her if she gets into the program. The drug has very nasty and numerous side effects. So I pray. Thanks all, Dianne

I have collected some seed from my red hybiscus plant. I have searched hybiscus from seed and it says I would need to nick the outer layer.
Has anyone ws hybiscus seed and do you really need to nick the seed and if so just how did you do it? I have tweezers and I have dremels that would might make the job easier. If anyone has done this, is there a better way? thanks Tom |
Follow-Up Postings:
no need to nick,they do fine wintersowed.I've been working for 2 years now on a confederate rose hibiscus got it about 4 ft tall now but no blooms this year maybe next year.Some hibiscus's I have wintersowed have bloomed the first year from seed.I like to wintersow the rose of sharons also.. |
- Posted by gardenweed_z6a 5b/6a N CT (My Page) on Tue, Oct 4, 11 at 19:15
A great deal of seed-starting information that's out there is geared toward more conventional methods (i.e., growing under lights or in a greenhouse) and doesn't necessarily apply to winter sowing. Nicking or scarifying seeds is one of them. Both Hibiscus syriacus/rose of Sharon and Hibiscus moscheutos/hardy hibiscus are excellent WS candidates in my experience. My hardy hibiscus plants came up healthy again this year (their second) but haven't bloomed yet. They're borderline hardy in my zone but since there are large clumps of them growing north of where I am, I'm guessing the hardiness zone information is about as accurate as the germination recommendations. I also successfully grew Cornus florida and Cornus kousa--native dogwood and Japanese/ornamental dogwood trees--from seed via winter sowing. Germination from both was 100% and they've grown to 3 ft. in height their second year. Guess I should take a couple of photos now they're getting some size to them. I'm growing them in containers while I decide where to plant them. |
tomva, got to see that confederate rose when you get it to bloom. bet that will be something! gardenweed, you are right..I keep forgetting that ws is entirely a different horse, so to speak. lol, I was wondering how I was gonna hold that little seed and nick it! I know what would probably get nicked..my finger! Each time I visit this forum, or ask a question, I get more excited about ws seed. The same thing happen to me last yr when I started the lasagna garden beds. To me thats the only way to garden and now I have 2 neighbors that are building lasagna beds. just wait till I show them WS ! thank you tomva and gardenweed for your help. you both are a great asset to this forum as are every one here Tom |
These are all winter sown plants. No nicking Mixed. I have collected at least a pound of seeds if anybody needs seeds. Lady Baltimore. Yellow. Don |
Don, those look great! I only have the red for now, but it has really bloomed good this yr. thanks for shareing the pictures. tom |

Don - that yellow is gorgeous! Looks more ivory than yellow but that could be the light/camera. Thanks for posting the pictures! |
I had a neighbor (he has since passed away) who did research on plants for cooperative extension and he had given me rooted cutting of hardy hibsicus about 10 seasons ago. They grew and flowered and were beautiful and I started collecting the seed. He said - "Don't try to grow them from seed until I give you some acid wash stuff to weaken the seed shell" and I had no interest in going near any acid wash! So when I learned about WSing, I WSed them and you knwo what - - they germinated. The process of winter sowing these seeds provides them with the right elements to soften the outer hard shell. The freezing, thawing,freezing, thawing weakens the shell and the sprouts pop right out! I just collected tons of seed today (about a 1/2 cup full) and plan to send them to Bakemom for new WSers. There is just something about a new WSer getting a sprout and then by the end of the season getting a HUGE 8" across flower that brings a smile to my face! |
Hello, I'm new to both Hibiscus and gardening in general. I have what looks to be seeds on the outside of some of my flowers, are they what I should collect? When should I collect them? You all seem to know what you're doing! I would really love to be able to grow them from seed. |
- Posted by northerner_on Z5A ONCanada (My Page) on Sat, May 4, 13 at 3:26
Not all hisbiscus produce seed e.g. I have a beautiful large red one that does not produce seed. Anyway, the seed capsule forms at the base of the flower. When the flower petals drop, it continues to ripen into a tan papery pod that contains the seed. Be sure to get it before it splits and spills the seed. They are hard, round, dark brown and can be stored in a small bagggie when completely dry for sowing next year. Just pay careful attention as the flowers mature so you don't miss them. |
re northerner_on: Thanks! |
Very easy to collect and WS - enjoy Meripirate! |
Thanks nan-6161! |

Prior to excavation, a Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) survey was conducted over a large portion of the planned construction site. GPR works by sending radar waves into the ground, which then bounce off buried features such as walls and foundations. The results of the GPR survey suggested a number of possibly intact building foundations in the southeastern corner of the property. This helped the archaeologists focus their efforts on the portions of the site with buried features, thus making more efficient use of their time and providing valuable archaeological information.

Angel Oak in NC, maybe. I've been wondering the same thing, & just googled " tennosui pear nursery". looks like there are 2-3, but not anybody I've heard of before. maybe I'll drive to Houston where it started & pick one up. |
gb, I think I've seen Meadows in the NCGR list; haven't looked in a while - Tennosui may be in there too. NCGR does provide scions, but I think the cutoff date for ordering is Dec 1. |
- Posted by gonebananas 7/8 (My Page) on Thu, Jan 13, 11 at 16:04
Thanks both. NCGR does not seem to have them. Angel Oak is about 100 miles from me and I pass there every few months (but five days ago unfortunately). I had never heard of it and am glad for the notice. "Meadows" seems a bit harder to find. I have tried several times. |
Meadow available at brazoscitrusnursery.com. But it's wholesale only |
you would be better off with orient if you want a domestic pear that is some what like an Asian. Or go with a true asian like Olympic aka Korean Giant, or Shinko. |

Well I dont think he mail orders them but John Panzarella in the Houston Area has them or at least his website says he does. I had one that I bought from the Houston fruit tree sale a few years ago but I had to move and it was left behind. I would love to start another one. BHawkins are you seriously thinking of going to Htown to buy one? If so let me know because I would gladly pay you to pick one up for me if you go. I will gladly pay you shipping also. You can contact me offlist or on if you can. Boy is it cold in Dallas or what? Scaper |
Hi Scape, good to hear from you. If you're looking at trees, then you must have bought that house in Dallas; how much land do you have, & where did you buy? I'd like a tennosui, but I'm not sure if I'll be able to find the time for the 250 mile trip to Houston. I emailed John Panzarella; his daughter's tree in Plano is still alive & well, bore a few fruit in its 3rd year Bob |
- Posted by scaper_austin 8 (My Page) on Thu, Feb 10, 11 at 21:41
Your right I got it. Dont have a lot of land yet but I plan to espalier my trees for space saving. Yeah Tennosui I think would do very well here. I also tried emailing John But so far he has not responded. It says on his website he sometimes will deliver a tree if he comes to the area and I would be more than willing to wait but like I say he hasnt replied yet oh well. I have heard that Dave Wilson is starting to grow them but they use 333 rootstock which makes a lazy dog of tree that seems to stop growing and producing after a few years. I would be more than willing to graft my own tree if I could find graft wood available. If you do wind up in Houston anytime soon please let me know. If I go Ill do the same. By the way, JimBabb if you see this why do you think they would be better off with a true Asian? Just curious about the comment. |

I see now that Bay Laural Nursery is carrying it (and that I misspelled it: "Tennhousi"). They also carry "Southern Bartlett," not easy to find up till now (though a kind home orchardist gave me scionwood a few years ago and mine is soon to yield). |

I purchased what is labeled as a Tennosui from them this year as a bareroot. There was no charge for it since there was some minor damage to the rootstock. It is growing. It is becoming little shaded out and I need get back there asap with the weed wacker and get it some more sunlight since its growth has slowed down. Bay Laural has a large selection and I may order from them again. Everything I ordered except for a cherry has done well. It really is my weather that is causing the problem and the cherry is still in a pot. |
