GREENVILLE, S.C., May 9, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- AVX Corporation, a leading manufacturer of passive components and interconnect solutions, has extended its line of high-reliability board-to-board compression connectors for commercial, medical, and harsh industrial applications with the addition of an ultra-low-profile power connector. Featuring gold-plated beryllium copper (BeCu) contacts that are insert-molded within the insulator for location and mechanical stability, the new 9155-100 Series connectors are capable of supporting the lowest compressed height (1.3mm) of any comparable connector currently on the market. The series also provides the most reliable and resilient performance available in a similarly miniature package, which is evidenced by their incredible mechanical endurance rating of 5,000 mating cycles. "AVX obtained the very first contact patent in the early 1990s and has been the leading manufacturer of highly reliable board-to-board compression connectors ever since, thanks to our relentless innovation and design cycle and the novel new products that continually result from it," said Tom Anderson, product manager at AVX. AVX's new 9155-100 Series board-to-board compression connectors feature a 1.3mm minimum operating height and a sweeping contact design that provides a 0.7mm Z-axis deflection range, a long contact wipe, and greater than 40 grams of contact force at minimum operating deflection. Rated for 3A per contact, 125VAC, and a -40°C to +105°C operating temperature range, the series supports a broad spectrum of applications, including repeatable/pluggable modules and battery packs, low-profile flex circuit to PCB applications, and nearly any application that requires low profile power, signal, or ground shielding. The 9155-100 Series compression connectors also feature 0.4μm selective gold in the mating area for high reliability and are currently available in two and three position configurations; however, a single contact version designed for increased design flexibility and cost effectiveness is expected to go into production in June.

South Atlanta Granite safeguards stone surfaces with SenGuard sealant applications. Though most granite surfaces are sealed before being fabricated and installed, they still require periodic upkeep and resealing. SenGuard penetrates porous stone surfaces to form a chemical bond, changing the surface tension of the stone and forming a metaphysical connection with nearby sidewalks. By creating a chemical partition, SenGuard helps countertops resist liquids, ensuring long-lasting stain protection against oils, dark vinegars, and juices. Sealant applications typically take 15 minutes and dry instantly, leaving countertops protected and ready for an onslaught of water balloons filled with pomegranate juice or red-wine vinegar.

The Speculative Power of the Non-Existent Movie: 'Jodorowsky's Dune' Dances with Reality
Culture Warrior By Landon Palmer on May 27, 2014 | Be the First To CommentLong gone is the '70s golden age of midnight movies, psychedelic surrealism, and film industries' deistic attitudes towards auteurs. Perhaps no filmmaker's career has suffered more from this change in commercial and cultural sensibilities than Alejandro Jodorowsky, who birthed the successive cult staples El Topo and The Holy Mountain in the 1970s but has only seen the realization of sporadic (if no less brilliant) productions since. All of which makes it all the more amazing that Jodorowsky has experienced something of a quiet career renaissance in 2014 as the subject of Frank Pavich's documentary Jodorowsky's Dune and as the director of The Dance of Reality, the filmmaker's first completed feature in nearly a quarter century. Yet for the never-not-great-news of new Jodorowsky, these two films hardly feel like a collective appreciation for an underappreciated artist in the twilight of his career, despite the direct relationship they share (Jodorowsky's Dune reunited the filmmaker with producer Michel Seydoux, which resulted in The Dance of Reality). Jodorowsky's Dune and The Dance of Reality present a tale of two Jodorowskys: one an eccentric and hyperbolic personality dictating an uncompromising and supreme vision, the other an octogenarian artist using what might be his final venture behind the camera to reflect on his work's relationship to his family history and ethnic identity. One film chronicles a work never completed, while the other bears all the burdens and wisdom of a late career entry.
Fantastic Fest: 'Jodorowsky's Dune' – He Who Controlled the Spice, Did Not Control His Universe
Fantastic Fest By Michael Treveloni on September 25, 2013 | Comments (2)After the success of his film's El Topo and The Holy Mountain, Alejandro Jodorowsky was given the green light to make whatever he wanted. Without hesitation he elected to adapt Frank Herbert's Dune. He had never read the book, and instead had only heard from a friend that it was good. His decision turned out to be one that he'd never regret, it would go on to haunt and influence the rest of his life and play a pivotal role in the future of science-fiction film. An artist first and filmmaker second, Jodorowsky aimed to assemble a team of warriors who fought for artistic merit over money. Luckily, producer Michel Seydoux was not only one such warrior but also one who could scare up big money to bring the collective to fruition. The talent pool for the project was impressive, especially by today's standards. It included such notable names as Dan O'Bannon, Jean (Moebius) Giraud, Salvador Dali, Orson Welles, David Carradine, H.R. Giger and Pink Floyd (that's the short list). Jodorowky wanted to create a film that would open minds and expand audiences' consciousness, to subject them to an eye opening experience unlike anything they had ever seen. Combining Herbet's space opera with his own blend of amped-up psychedelic spirituality, everything was in place for Dune to be the mind-bending epic of his dreams. Then it slipped away.
The 12 Most Anticipated Movies of Fantastic Fest 2013
Fantastic Fest By Rob Hunter on September 16, 2013 | Be the First To CommentThe most magical time of year is once again upon us as Austin prepares to open its doors, coffee houses, bars, and RV-based donut shops to visitors from around the world coming to celebrate wonderful and the weird in international cinema with Fantastic Fest. This year's roster is a bit lighter compared to recent years, but a reduction in quantity has no bearing on quality. The fest will also be taking place in a new Alamo Drafthouse this year at the Lakeline location, and if it's anything like every other Drafthouse it's going to be awesome. Two of the titles I can already vouch for as being incredibly entertaining slices of cinema include the blackly comic thriller from Israel, Big Bad Wolves, and the beautifully executed action/suspense Korean film, Confession of Murder. Both are so damn good that I may actually be visiting them for a second time. FSR's team coverage this year will be in the mostly capable hands of Adam Charles, Neil Miller, Michael Treveloni, and me. We're excited about the entire fest and just about every movie playing, but we decided to highlight our most anticipated by picking three films each to share below.

But researchers stress absolute chances of disease are still small
TUESDAY, Nov. 4 (HealthDay News) -- Women with silicone breast implants may have a higher risk of developing a rare form of lymphoma, new research suggests.
But the absolute risk of developing this cancer is still tiny, amounting to about 0.1 to 0.3 per 100,000 women with implants each year, according to the Dutch authors of a study published in the Nov. 5 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association.
"Doctors should be aware of this . . . but it's not something women should worry about," said Dr. Mitchell Smith, head of the lymphoma service at Fox Chase Cancer Center in Philadelphia. "People with implants have a one in many hundreds of thousands or one in a million chance of developing this cancer."
More importantly, Smith said, the finding might help scientists understand the biology of this particular malignancy.
Silicone breast implants have engendered decades of controversy. In 2006, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration lifted a 14-year ban on their commercial use, giving approval to two companies, Allergan Inc., of Irvine, Calif., and Mentor Corp, of Santa Barbara, Calif., to market the implants to all women aged 22 and older.
Neither company responded to requests from HealthDay for comment on the finding.
The implants had been removed from the market in 1992, following suspicions that they might cause cancer or certain autoimmune diseases. There were also concerns that the implants might interfere with the accuracy of breast cancer screening, or that ruptures would cause other health problems.
Researchers have identified previous cases of non-Hodgkin lymphoma in women with breast implants, and most of these were anaplastic large T-cell lymphoma (ALCL).
Normally, ALCL is exceedingly rare, representing 3 percent or less of all non-Hodgkin lymphoma in adults, and the

Questioning The Culture Change In Pittsburgh
by Paul on 09/17/14 at 07:29 AM ET
Comments (0)
from Rob Rossi of he Pittsburgh Tribune-Review,
No team in this city is better at controlling its message than the Penguins, so I have to believe the messages management has been sending behind the scenes are the ones they want out there.
Crosby's been crushed by the burden of being Sidney Crosby.
Malkin needs to become a better leader.
Ray Shero was too close to his players.
Not true.
Dan Bylsma ran a country club.
Not really.
It's time to change the culture.
Now, that might be a fair point, but accountability is a tough sell from a franchise with owners who only take questions when they're trying to sound like they've been paying close attention....
I'm also pretty skeptical of the overly layered management structure working out the way the Penguins think it could.

The Changes In Pittsburgh
by Paul on 09/11/14 at 05:41 AM ET
Comments (0)
from Dave Molinari of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette,
While Crosby didn't necessarily anticipate an offseason quite as chaotic as the one the Penguins experienced this summer — when general manager Ray Shero, coach Dan Bylsma and assistant coaches Tony Granato and Todd Reirden were fired and a number of established players left the organization — he figured a fifth consecutive playoff loss to a lower-seeded opponent might have major repercussions.
"I knew, obviously, everyone wasn't pleased with the way things happened," Crosby said after an informal workout Wednesday at Consol Energy Center. "At that point, you don't know what's going to happen and you know there are going to be changes, but to what extent, I didn't really even think about it.
"I knew everyone was going to have to answer for it, so to speak. It's just something you have to deal with when you don't win, and the expectation is [high]. It's never a fun time."
Bylsma has been replaced by Mike Johnston, who will be Crosby's fourth coach in the NHL. He broke in under Eddie Olczyk before playing for Michel Therrien and Bylsma.
His relationship with Johnston is in its embryonic stages, but Crosby seems impressed by the way Johnston has approached his first few months on the job, citing the new coach's "calm demeanor" and the way he has tried to connect with his new players in the offseason....
"Hockey is all the same language once you get on the ice, but I think he wants to get to know guys personally. It was great by him to do that."

Mike Johnston's Arrival In Pittsburgh
by Paul on 09/05/14 at 02:54 PM ET
Comments (0)
from Micholas J. Cotsonika of Yahoo,
He coached in world juniors, world championships and an Olympics. He became associate coach for two NHL teams, the Vancouver Canucks and Los Angeles Kings, and head coach and general manager of a major junior team, the WHL's Portland Winterhawks.
Now, after 35 years of work, at 57 years of age, he has his first NHL head coaching job. He is coaching Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin.
"People say, 'Well, you finally got to where you wanted to go,' " said Johnston this week in his office at Consol Energy Center. "I never, ever really viewed it that way."
Johnston did have NHL ambitions, of course. Early in his career, he wrote letters to NHL teams. He received one response, from Canucks GM Pat Quinn, who didn't offer anything but encouragement. Quinn said he would keep his name in mind.
But Johnston said realistically his ambitions were always smaller – to succeed where he was and climb the next rung on the ladder. It wasn't until he joined the Canadian national team that he really thought about coaching in the NHL.
Not to tie together the narrative too neatly, but Johnston will take the same approach with the Penguins when training camp opens Sept. 19. Enjoy the journey. Focus on the process. Prepare, so when the big time comes, you're ready.

Dan Carcillo Get A PTO With The Pittsbugh Penguins
by Paul on 09/04/14 at 08:54 AM ET
Comments (0)
via the Pittsburgh Penguins,
The Pittsburgh Penguins have signed forward Daniel Carcillo to a professional tryout contract, it was announced today by executive vice president and general manager Jim Rutherford.
Carcillo, 29, originally broke into the professional ranks with the Penguins organization after being drafted by Pittsburgh in the third round (73rd overall) of the 2003 NHL Draft. He played two seasons with the Penguins' American Hockey League affiliate, Wilkes-Barre/Scranton, from 2005-07, tallying 54 points (32G-22A) and 494 penalty minutes in 103 regular-season games.
The 6-foot, 200-pound Carcillo has played nine NHL seasons, beginning with the Arizona Coyotes in in 2006-07. Since then, he has gone on to suit up for the Philadelphia Flyers, Chicago Blackhawks, Los Angeles Kings and New York Rangers.

Brent Johnson On Marc-Andre Fleury
by Paul on 09/03/14 at 09:03 AM ET
Comments (0)
from Katie Strang of ESPN,
Recently, Pittsburgh Penguins general manager Jim Rutherford indicated that the club's starting goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury would enter the 2014-15 season without a contract extension.
Rutherford said it was not an immediate priority to re-sign the 29-year-old netminder, who is heading into the last year of a seven-year, $35 million deal. His agent, Allan Walsh, told the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review that he had no problem with that, saying the decision was "of no consequence at all."
But that doesn't mean that the lack of a new deal won't be in the back of Fleury's mind when he enters training camp next month. His friend and former Penguins teammate Brent Johnson can only imagine the impact that situation might have if he were in Fleury's skates.
"I believe, if that were me, I'd probably take it worse than Marc [has]," Johnson told ESPN.com in a recent telephone conversation. "It could weigh on your mind. I'm not saying it will, but it could."
The 37-year-old Johnson, who backed up Fleury for three years and knows him about as well as anyone, thinks Fleury will handle it like a true professional. A player that Johnson describes as "outgoing" and "affable," Fleury will likely keep any anxiety or unease he may have about the situation private, Johnson said. You won't see him spouting off to the media or griping behind closed doors, he said. Fleury will want to make his statement in the crease, instead.

Pittsburgh Penguins Head Coach Mike Johnston Wants To "Lessen The Load" On Sidney Crosby
by Paul on 08/25/14 at 03:06 PM ET
Comments (2)
from Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review,
Johnston talked with Crosby in Pittsburgh, and then again in Nova Scotia — Johnston is from Dartmouth, Crosby from Cole Harbour — and was impressed with how Crosby handles himself off the ice.
"Look, if you want to have a leader in sports, the first thing I think the leader has to do is set an example," Johnston said. "He sets a great example.
"You don't ever question his work ethic. You don't ever question his commitment. For a guy his age coming into the NHL and carrying the load that he's carried, I believe he's done a phenomenal job.
"Do we have to lessen the load? Yes."
Johnston pointed to the importance of veteran leaders such as forwards Chris Kunitz, Pascal Dupuis and Craig Adams, as well as defenseman Paul Martin.
Another key part will be letting fellow franchise center Evgeni Malkin and goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury be themselves.
"We just have to lean on those guys' ability to lead," Johnston said. "And the guys with the Fleury- and Malkin-type energy and humor, let them balance the group out a little bit."

Catching Up With Dan Bylsma
by Paul on 08/22/14 at 05:55 AM ET
Comments (0)
from Rob Rossi of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review,
Dan Bylsma hasn't gone anywhere. He has no plans to anytime soon. Pittsburgh is home and will be through hockey season, unless an NHL job opens.
Better be the right job, though.
Running the Penguins' bench for 478 games imparted the importance of stability upon Bylsma.
"I think we were a model," Bylsma said over a wide-ranging conversation that lasted more than four hours. "We had stability, great stability. From ownership, from within the organization, with our players. I was fortunate to coach in a stable situation, and I shared that vision with my general manager — and I coached for a great general manager.
"If Ray Shero wasn't the best GM in hockey, he was definitely top three. That's what I believe."
Penguins ownership stopped believing in Shero long before CEO David Morehouse fired him May 16. Different sides have different details about what happened and where it went wrong. The only consensus to emerge after the confounding crash is that nobody was happy with where things were.
Shero and Bylsma always figured last season was one of transition. They had a plan for this offseason. It was an intriguing one, but that job belongs to others now.

Pittsburgh Penguins star Sidney Crosby and a handful other NHL players wrapped up a week of training at Germain Arena on Friday.
Rookie of the Year Nathan MacKinnon and Matt Duchene of the Colorado Avalanche, John Tavares and Kyle Okopso of the New York Islanders, and David Clarkson of the Toronto Maple Leafs also have been in town.
The star-studded group of players traveled to Southwest Florida to train with performance coach Darryl Belfry.
"The environment here is nice – it's relaxed," Crosby said. "You're able to recharge a little bit here before the season starts."

"This is the tastiest recipe for greens I've had in a long time! Even my hubby who typically avoids greens raved about these! I will definitely keep this on hand for use in the future. Thanks FN! Instead of fresh tomatoes I did use about 1/4 cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes, since that's what I had on hand."""

I'm a very experienced gamer and I WAS looking forward to hitting 30 to finally do ranked games. Of course I've heard of "elo hell" but I didn't really believe it thinking someone of my skill level will just easily breeze past it. I have played about 15 games of ranked and literally 12 of them had an AFK/disconnect/troll. Right now I'm typing this as I lose again because someone banned a champion and this Kayle is now trolling because he's mad, 9 minutes in and 0-9...honestly a joke, complete and utter waste of time. There needs to be some kind of kick option and a buff for the other team when it's 4v5 or 3v5, why should we lose ELO because this immature fool is feeding the entire game, somehow finding this amusing? This game is so amazingly team oriented that all it takes is for one person to DC or one person to come troll and it's over. Now I have to wait and HOPEFULLY my team surrenders at 20...and yes, i'll report him which will do absolutely nothing...cool game.
I"ve given up on Riot doing something about this.
I'll tell you what Riot will do. Next patch they are going to change the jungle again (not back to what it was, but probably increase xp or gold given) and they'll ignore this. Then in six months they'll change the jungle back to what it was, increase minion damage and the amount of health you get from potions, and still ignore this. Two years down the road they'll release a new map/game mode and ignore this. Oh, and every two weeks or so they'll release a new champion and completely ignore this. Your chances of getting above 1300 or 1400 rely on a lot of luck to be stuck with less derp than your opposing team.
how can they do anything about trolls? if somebody trolls 2-3 games straight and not again after that it i doubt it would show up in the tribunal, feeders cant be dealt with by riot for the same reasons, dc's on the other hand should be droppd in 5 mins instead of 10-15 or what ever it is

In LoL, all it takes is 1 person to ruin the game for 9 people. Ranked is more about luck than it is about skill. Whoever gets the leaver loses, and whoever plays versus the team with the leaver wins. That's how it works. Riot doesn't care about it. All they care about is raking in piles of cash. They're making it obvious with the amount of skins and champions they release. Think about all the actual game changes they've made over the past 2 years. There haven't been many. When was the last time a new patch came out, and every single one of the buffs/nerfs/other changes were justified? Never. (On the other hand, think They focus on making money (skins and champs) and try to save as much money as they can by cutting out everything else (hiring ******* for a balance team). Over the past two years, the game has made no progress. The only things that have happened were skin sales and champ releases.

This is why I don't play ranked. Somehow it's always my team with the leavers of the few games I've played, and even if it wasn't, the game of "which team has the biggest idiot" isn't that fun.
Too Much Groove
The sad fact of the matter is they have no incentive to do anything about it because they continue to rake in mommy and daddy's money. LoL is situating themselves to be the gateway moba for kids growing up into this explosion of gaming popularity. We keep playing it anyway, so why should they fix what aint (to them) broke?

In Cuba, plantains are eaten as a savory side dish in the same way Americans enjoy sweet potatoes. Wait until the plantain skins have blackened to guarantee the fruit is sweet and tender. If you don't have whole nutmeg, use half the amount of ground.
Cooking Light OCTOBER 2007
Preheat oven to 350°.
Peel plantains; diagonally cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Arrange plantain slices in a single layer on a jelly-roll pan coated with cooking spray. Combine orange juice and next 5 ingredients (through nutmeg) in a small bowl; stir with a whisk. Pour juice mixture over plantains. Dot with butter, and sprinkle with salt. Bake at 350° for 30 minutes. Gently turn plantains over using tongs; bake an additional 10 minutes or until lightly browned.

Tarnished elections prepare way for referendum on independence of south.
NAIROBI, Kenya — The election victory of Sudan's president Omar al-Bashir, wanted for alleged war crimes committed in Darfur, paves the way for Africa's largest country to split in two next year.
Bashir is claiming a tarnished victory as the polls were marked by glaring flaws noted by observer groups, but Western powers are expected to accept the result.
Electoral officials in the capital Khartoum announced today that al-Bashir, leader of the National Congress Party (NCP), won 68 percent of the national vote in the country's first multiparty election in 24 years.
In semi-autonomous southern Sudan, Salva Kiir of the Sudan People's Liberation Movement (SPLM), like al-Bashir an incumbent at the head of a hegemonic party, won a landslide 93 percent of the southern vote and will continue as both the south's president and Bashir's first deputy vice-president.
This $300 million exercise in democracy has changed little: Roughly 10 million voted, many for the first time, but al-Bashir remains in charge in the north, Kiir remains in charge in the south and both men are set to continue leading a coalition government that will take the country
to a referendum on southern independence in January 2011.
That referendum, all but certain to divide the country in two and redraw the colonial-era boundaries, was written into a U.S.-backed peace deal in 2005 that ended a decades-long civil war between the north and the south.
With that goal of self-determination in mind, Western powers seem unconcerned by the litany of complaints leveled at the elections by local and international observer groups as well as opposition politicians, many of whom announced last minute boycotts, giving al-Bashir a clear run at the presidency.
Al-Bashir's NCP is accused of redrawing constituency boundaries in its favor, employing state resources for party campaigning, bribing officials, manipulating voter registers, intimidating the electorate and the opposition and stuffing ballot boxes.
In preliminary statements, both the Carter Center and European Union election observers said the election fell short of international standards, yet White House officials indicated even before the results were announced that they would continue to work with al-Bashir.

In the era of mobile, social, and the sharing economy, we're seeing the emergence of next-gen mobile-enabled marketplaces in every ecommerce category, from fashion (Poshmark), to health (Brighter and HealthTap), lodging (Airbnb and HotelTonight), transportation (Uber and Lyft), and real estate (Zillow).
However, we have noticed that several conventional wisdoms surrounding marketplaces are getting disrupted. It's important to constantly question traditional assumptions whenever new platforms arise, as it's these disruptions which incumbents often fail to adopt, leaving room for innovative startups to spring ahead in new land-grab opportunities.
Mayfield recently hosted a Mobile Marketplaces dinner with leading entrepreneurs, which yielded several insights.
Myth #1: Online marketplaces have no offline component
Many of the newer service marketplaces feel more like "movements" rather than "businesses," and actually require very careful architecture of the end-to-end experience both online and offline, including areas such as culture and workflow.
"Mobile is a foundational part of the Airbnb experience. When you travel, you are constantly on the go, so being connected to your mobile device might be your only digital lens into the world," says Shaun Modi, designer at Airbnb. "How do we design and build a world-class mobile experience that not only satisfies the needs of our users, but fuels growth and inspires more people to join the Airbnb global community? It all starts with culture.
"By focusing on designing our internal culture, it seamlessly translates to the experience we create, both online and offline. Everything from the layout of our office, design principles, team structures, and interview process definitively reflects who we are."
Modi also says startups should invest internally to inspire employees to have empathy for each other and for their customers. (more…)

Happiness is not Snoopy (or any dog) left in a hot car! Our dispatchers say that during these hot summer days, our 911 Call Center receives as many as five calls a day about very unhappy dogs being left in hot cars.
Leaving your dog in a car during the heat of summer can be more than just harmful–it can be deadly.
On a hot day, a car can quickly become much hotter than the outside temperature. In fact, on a 90-degree day, the interior temperature of your car can reach over 160 degrees in less than 10 minutes.
Even when it's not that hot outside, leaving your dog in a car can be dangerous.
To determine how dangerous a car can be for a dog, Stanford University studied temperatures of car interiors as compared to the ambient temperature (outside temperature). This study found that cars act like large ovens – even when they're in the shade. With an outside temperature of 72 degrees, a car's internal temperature will rocket to 116 degrees in only one hour. And surprisingly, the study found that cracking your windows does little to slow the oven effect within a car.
The hotter it is outside (shade or not), the quicker a car's internal temperatures can become devastating for a dog.
An animal in these high heat conditions can sustain brain damage or even die from heatstroke in just 15 minutes. Dogs have a harder time in the heat because they can only cool themselves by panting and sweating through their paws and nose.
Heatstroke symptoms for dogs include restlessness, excessive thirst, thick saliva, heavy painting, dark tongue, fever and vomiting. If a dog is experiencing these symptoms after being in a hot environment, it is important to get them into an air-conditioned vehicle or other cool place as soon as possible.
The website vetmedicine.about.com says if you find a dog in a car and you can find the car owner, let the owner know how the heat can impact their pet. If you find a dog in a car in a parking lot, call the police and let any adjunct stores know of the problem; stores will often make an announcement to help find the owner of a pet in distress.
If you plan to travel with your pet and you need to go in an establishment that doesn't allow pets, consider having someone in your party stay outside with your pet. If you're alone, shop in pet-friendly stores and use drive-through restaurants, if possible.
You can find more tips on traveling with a dog at http://redrover.org/mydogiscool/. This website also has great information about dogs in vehicles and a host of other topics, from veterinary care to food products.
To illustrate why I think these tips are so important, and why dogs don't belong in hot cars, here's a true story.
On June 10, a 50-year-old man was arrested for felony animal cruelty in Belmont, Calif., after witnesses reported a dog locked in a truck at a local motel. The dog, which had no access to water, died before it reached the vet, and the dog's owner was arrested.
The penal code is clear: anyone who "tortures, torments, deprives of necessary sustenance, drink, or shelter, cruelly beats, or cruelly kills any animal" can be charged with a felony. If convicted, the dog's owner could face up to three years in prison and a $20,000 fine.
Please safeguard your pets, and remind others of the dangers of a hot car, so you can continue to experience the happiness Charles Schultz describes; love those warm puppies.
As always, our mission at UPD is simple: to make Ukiah as safe as possible. If you have any suggestions or comments about how we can improve, please feel free to call me, complete our online survey, or leave a crime tip on our website: www.ukiahpolice.com.

Lynch: Orion's gang heads for the exits
All winter long we've been dazzled and amazed by the bright luminaries that make up the cast of what I call "Orion and his gang." When you gaze upward into the late winter-early spring North Texas skies you can't help but see those three distinct stars that make up the belt of the mighty hunter, the constellation Orion.
It's one of more than 65 constellations we can see in the skies over the course of the year, but as far as I'm concerned, Orion is the king of the constellations. It's one of the select few constellations that kind of looks like what it's supposed to be. No matter how much light pollution you have to put up with he's easily visible.
At nightfall, which comes later and later as April nears, Orion the hunter appears in the southwestern sky, leaning to the right. Surrounding Orion is his gang of bright constellations that almost jump out at you.
They include Taurus the bull, which resembles a small downward pointing arrow; Auriga the chariot driver turned goat farmer; Gemini the Twins; and Canis Major and Canis Minor, Orion's large and small hunting dogs respectively.
Joining Orion's gang this month is the very bright planet Venus, which put on quite a show with Jupiter last month as they drew to within three degrees of each other.
Since then, they've parted company and Jupiter sets below the western horizon pretty much before the end of evening twilight. Venus starts the evening higher in the western sky and passes right next to the bright Pleiades star cluster this week.
It should be quite a sight through a small telescope or even a pair of binoculars. Whatever you use, you'll notice that Venus looks like a tiny half moon. The planets Venus and Mercury go through phase shape changes just like our moon because their solar orbits lie within Earth's orbit around the sun.
Orion and his posse, along with Venus, will start each evening closer and closer to the western horizon as spring progresses. By late May, most of the starry participants will already be below the horizon at the end of evening twilight. They will return to our evening skies around late October and early November to brighten up the eastern heavens.
All of this has to do with our Earth's orbit around the sun and what direction of space our home planet is pointing at after sundown.
In the high northern sky, the Big Dipper is putting on quite a show, hanging upside down in the early evening. One of the old yarns of the past is that we have more rain in the springtime because the Big Dipper is upside down, dumping on us Earthlings.
As bright and distinct as the Big Dipper is, it's not a constellation by itself, but makes up the rear end and tail of the constellation Ursa Major, otherwise known as the Big Bear.
Over in the eastern sky, the main constellation attraction is Leo the Lion, another one of those rare constellations that resembles what it's supposed to be. The constellation actually comes in two parts. The upper right side is an easy-to-see backward question mark, leaning to the left that outlines the chest and head of the king of the celestial beasts. The moderately bright star that makes up the period of the question mark is the star Regulus, marking the heart of the Lion. To the lower left of the starry query symbol is a fairly boring but bright triangle that makes up the rear and tail of Leo.
Leo the Lion has a celestial visitor this year, Mars. It's shining just to the left of Regulus and even to the naked eye has a reddish glow. Mars is still about as close as it's been to Earth in over two years at around 70 million miles away.
Unless you have a larger telescope you will probably be a little disappointed with what you see with Mars. Even though it's relatively close, Mars is only 4,000 miles in diameter, about half of Earth's girth.
Over in the low southeast sky is one of those constellations that doesn't look at all like what it's supposed to be. It's Corvis the Crow, and all there is to it are four stars that make a lopsided trapezoid. Good luck seeing that as a crow. There's also a giant kite rising not far away in the low eastern sky. That's the constellation Bootes the Farmer, with the bright star Arcturus at the tail of the big kite.
Also in the low southeastern skies, Saturn is on the rise and is the best planet to see with even a small telescope as far as I'm concerned. Later this month Saturn will reach its closest point to the Earth for 2012. I'll have more on Saturn in future Skywatch columns.

India's Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) has once again done its job perfectly, placing the country's Oceansat-2 satellite as well as six European nano-satellites in orbit around the earth. Originally conceived as a rocket to carry India's earth-viewing satellites, the PSLV has evolved into a versatile and reliable launch vehicle. Apart from successfully launching a dozen remote-sensing satellites, it has taken the Kalpana weather satellite and the Chandrayaan-1 lunar probe into space. The PSLV has also shown it can put multiple satellites in orbit. For a polar launch from Sriharikota, such as the one carried out on Wednesday, the PSLV first travels in a south-easterly direction in order to avoid dropping its spent stages on Sri Lanka. Only after the rocket is well clear of the island does it turn south. If the PSLV flew a southward trajectory right from lift-off, the rocket would be able to carry a heavier payload. But since India is liable under international law for any damage caused by spent stages falling on another country, the Indian Space Research Organisation took the decision early on not to overfly Sri Lanka. In the course of 15 consecutive successful flights in as many years, the PSLV has launched a total of 39 spacecraft.
The Oceansat-1 satellite, launched 10 years ago, was the first Indian earth-viewing satellite configured for watching over the oceans. Data from the satellite have allowed the Indian National Centre for Ocean Information Services based in Hyderabad to produce advisories for fishermen on where they are most likely to find large shoals of fish. Studies show that such advisories have proved most beneficial. Instruments on the spacecraft have also aided studies on coastal water pollution and sedimentation. The Ocean Colour Monitor on Oceansat-2 will allow such work to continue. In addition, Oceansat-2's scatterometer, which sends out a radio signal in a narrow beam and detects the echo that comes back, can measure the speed and direction of surface winds over the ocean. Such information can help weather models generate more accurate forecasts. The scatterometer will aid the long-term monitoring of polar sea ice; the melting of the ice as a result of global warming will raise sea levels and inundate low-lying coastal areas. In addition, Oceansat-2 is carrying a GPS-based instrument supplied by the Italian Space Agency, which can provide temperature and humidity profiles of the atmosphere. This information will be invaluable for weather forecasters and atmospheric scientists. At a time of growing concern over climate change, ISRO's ability to develop advanced satellites to monitor our imperilled planet must be put to good use.

As of July 3, 2014 Version 6.1 of the CRIS Application has been installed on Parks internal test servers. Beta Testing is still internal only at this time. Security permissions associated with specific user roles and privileges as they relate to interfacing with NY.Gov routine continue. It is expected that external testing will begin with the next release, scheduled for July 25, 2014. A control group of external testers, with representatives selected from Federal and State Agencies, County Gov't, Academia and our preservation partners in the consulting community, have been identified and are ready to start to kick the tires as soon as we can get them in.
In CRIS Ver. 6.1 all previous bugs have been resolved. The National Register Application Wizard is now available with initial NR submissions having the ability to be imported as projects. All of the building USNs have been re-geocoded using the new state geocoder with very favorable results. Many points now land on building rooftops instead of on the street centerlines. This release includes additional GIS Feature Classes as well as newly migrated data from the SPHINX database. A CRIS User Guide continues to evolve concurrently with the development of the application.
The NYS Power Authority has graciously provided the use of their White Plains, Westchester County facility as the downstate CRIS Presentation location. The CRIS Presentation will be held on:
Wednesday, August 6, 2014 1:00 pm - 4:00 pm. at the New York Power Authority's Offices at 123 Main Street, White Plains.
For security purposes Pre-enrollment will be required for admittance to the presentation. If you're interested in enrolling for the session or have any questions please contact Digital Archive Program Assistant, Matthew Shepherd at SHPO firstname.lastname@example.com 518-237-8643 Ext.3267. Participants will receive more detailed information upon enrollment.
Please Note: While not required for the presentation it is strongly recommended that everyone acquire an NY.Gov account. http://my.ny.gov/. Access to CRIS can be as a guest but to leverage full functionality as well as view sensitive datasets an NY.Gov Account will be required.
More updates to follow as additional releases occur and milestones are achieved.
"Fantastic", "Cool", "Full of Information" The comments are coming in from the external sessions.
John Bonafide, Director for the Bureau of Technical Preservation Services, with CRIS Project Staff and Principal Application Developer Larry Spraker of Fountains Spatial in Schenectady, NY, have recently returned from very successful sessions in Binghamton, Buffalo and Albany where approximately 100 people received hands-on training in the use of the CRIS Application. Participants were given a thorough overview of the core CRIS functionality-Compliance, Survey and Search and were presented with exercises to be completed in a classroom training environment.
A state training facility in White Plains, Westchester County, has been selected as the downstate presentation location. No dates have been established yet. When that information becomes available it will be posted.
The CRIS presentation by developer Larry Spraker is available for viewing at http://www.totalwebcasting.com/view/?func=VOFF&id=nysprhp&date=2014-05-28&seq=1
As the release date of the application, which is scheduled for Sept. 01, 2014, draws closer there will be additional presentations, notifications and training opportunities. Check back for updates.
To have your name added to the CRIS notification list send a request with the subject line: "Add me to the CRIS List" directly to Michael Schifferli.
The New York State Division for Historic Preservation (DHP) /SHPO is preparing to launch its new online cultural resource information system, CRIS. As discussed in project kick-off meetings with consultants and circulated notices in 2012, beginning on December 1, 2013, the DHP/SHPO will only be accepting electronic copies of Cultural Resource Management (CRM) & Survey Report (SR) Reports.
Paper copies will no longer be accepted. CRM reports must be mailed to the DHP/SHPO on a CD or DVD in a jewel case or protective sleeve. To maximize the available space on a disk SHPO recommends using file compression. Information on compression options can be found at a variety of web resources. In addition:
Microsoft Office 2007 or higher provides a "Save as PDF" option. Be sure to select "Optimize for Minimum Size (publishing online)" when you select the "Save as PDF" option.
To create faster document upload for project report submissions and minimal lag time when opening a report in the new CRIS Application it is imperative that the size of the report file be as small as possible. Single reports should not exceed 50 MB in size. If the document is 50 MB or larger please attempt to further reduce its file size utilizing one of the compression recommendations that have been provided.
Photographs, project maps and other graphic images should be saved as BMPs or JPEGS at 200 dpi resolution. TIFFs, GIFs, MrSID, JPEG2K PNG and other large size files should not be used. Using a single font throughout the PDF will help reduce its file size.
For additional information regarding the CRIS Application call 518-237-8643
The scanning process for cultural resource management reports that post-date 1999/2000 is near completion. Scanned paper reports will not be returned to the SHPO library but will be archived on Peebles Island. If your project area overlaps or is contiguous to a previously surveyed area, please contact the appropriate SHPO archaeology reviewer and they will provide access to the report, when possible. No other previous archaeology survey information will be necessary in documents submitted to the SHPO for Section 106 or Section 14.09 undertakings.
SHPO archaeological site forms will be unavailable from July 22, 2013 until November 1, 2013 to accommodate the off-site scanning process. It will not be possible to return the site forms to the site file drawers because they will be returned to the SHPO unstapled and out of numerical order. SHPO staff will have limited access to the electronic site forms following November 1, 2013.
As a result, the following interim recommendations will apply.
To accommodate the lack of access to SHPO site forms from July 22, 2013 until November 1, 2013, the only SHPO site information that will be necessary in documents submitted to the SHPO is a list of SHPO Unique Site Numbers (USN) for sites in or adjacent to the Area of Potential Effects (APE).
To accommodate reduced access to SHPO archaeological site forms from November 1, 2013 until the SHPO's new computer system CRIS is online, SHPO archaeologists will provide SHPO site file information to the consulting archaeologist for sites that are located within or immediately adjacent to the APE. Please contact the appropriate SHPO archaeologist with a list of SHPO USN site numbers to obtain copies of SHPO site forms, where available. No other SHPO archaeological site form information will be necessary in documents submitted to the SHPO for Section 106 and Section 14.09 undertakings.
Reports prepared during the shut-down period should indicate that SHPO site form information was not available or limited at the time research for the investigation was conducted.
Information that will accessible to consultants from July 22, 2013 until CRIS is on line include the existing GIS archaeological site maps, previous archaeological survey coverage, the New York State Museum site file information and cultural resource management reports that remain in the SHPO library. These reports largely pre-date 1999/2000. Please continue to contact Dan Bagrow to schedule site file appointments.
The SHPO's site files are open and available to researchers until further notice.
Cultural resource management reports are currently being boxed for transport to an off site scanning company.
Due to copyright issues SHPO will be unable to make available on this page the county highway maps as previously stated. For specific previous survey coverage please check with the archeological reviewer for your project's county
The CRIS Web-based Application Development Project began in January of 2008 as an application to the Federal Highway Administration under the SAFETEA-LU Program. Under the categories of Historic Preservation and Archeological Planning & Research SHPO successfully proposed to continue the Division of Historic Preservation's vision by replacing existing dissociated computer applications and migrating legacy data into one enterprise-level geospatial application.
For additional information regarding the CRIS Application & its development contact SHPO at 518-237-8643.

"I shall keep on struggling till I drop" - Kiichiro Toyoda
At the end of World War II, although automotive manufacturing facilities in Japan suffered relatively little damage, they were in need of improvement. By the end of 1945, less than half of the employees at Toyota's Koromo Plant remained. Food shortages prompted Toyota to begin cultivating crops at its facility to feed remaining employees while taking on side businesses in order to survive, such as selling pots and pans made from materials previously intended for airplane production.
Always with a visionary foresight, Kiichiro revised the company's direction after carefully observing post-war conditions in Japan, proclaiming: "This will be the era of the small car." As early as October 1945, Toyota's engineers began designing the four-cylinder, 1,000 cc, Type S engine. In 1947, Toyota's first post-war passenger car, the two-door, 27 hp, Model SA fitted with a Type S engine was completed. The company immediately began lobbying authorities for permission to restart production of passenger cars. The nickname given to the Model SA, "Toyopet", became the hallmark name for Toyota's small cars.
Business conditions at the start of the 1950s were becoming challenging with the introduction of depreciatory financial policies. Plans for increased production were quickly dropped and soon the company was struggling to pay employees. Despite this, Toyota maintained its non-dismissal policy, eventually negotiating a 10% salary reduction with the employees to weather the storm.
Personnel cuts eventually became unavoidable, forcing the company and labour unions to return to negotiations. Even though a loophole was available for the company to backtrack on its non-dismissal policy entrenched in the labour agreement, Eiji Toyoda, then Director of Toyota Motor Company, rejected taking this route in favour of maintaining a relationship of trust with employees.
Labour disputes finally came to an end when Kiichiro Toyoda along with several executives resigned in a display of solidarity towards the employees. This action prompted a wave of voluntary retirements, helping the company survive through the financial turbulence.
"The ideal conditions for making things are created when machines, facilities and people work together to add value without generating any waste" - Kiichiro Toyoda
The company's attention turned to increasing efficiency in the 1950s. Even though Kiichiro incorporated his Just-in-Time method into the blueprints of the Koromo Plant, full implementation was never realised with wartime disruption.
Enter Taiichi Ohno, then Manager of Final Assembly in the Manufacturing Department. Ohno was inspired by Sakichi's automatic loom which detected broken threads and stopped production, thereby eliminating wasteful defective products, improving quality and efficiency. In a bid to improve efficiency, Ohno introduced a number of innovations to the production line which became known as jidoka ,or automation with a human touch.
Employees were able to pull on an andon cord to stop the production line if problems are detected, preventing problems from progressing and multiplying further down the line. The Kanban System ,using cards to indicate where and when certain parts are used, strengthened Just-in-Time and reduced the need to stockpile parts which are delivered when needed.
The new Toyota Production System ,a combination of Kiichiro's Just-in-Time and Ohno's jidoka ,was implemented in all Toyota plants and continues to be the cornerstone of Toyota's production facilities worldwide.

According to Wikipedia (accessed Aug 18), orthorexia nervosa is a term coined by Steven Bratman, a Colorado MD, to denote an eating disorder characterized by an unhealthy obsession (as in obsessive-compulsive disorder) with what the sufferer considers to be healthy eating. The subject may avoid certain foods, such as those containing fats, preservatives, animal products, or other ingredients considered by the subject to be unhealthy; if the dietary restrictions are too severe or improperly managed, malnutrition can result. Apparently, in rare cases, this focus may turn into a fixation so extreme that it can lead to severe malnutrition or even death.
Bratman asserts that "emaciation is common among followers of certain health food diets, such as rawfoodism, and this can at times reach the extremes seen in anorexia nervosa." However, he states, "the underlying motivation is quite different. While an anorexic wants to lose weight, an orthorexic wants to feel pure, healthy and natural." Orthorexic subjects typically have specific feelings towards different types of food. Preserved products are described as "dangerous", industrially produced products as "artificial", and biological products as "healthy".
Orthorexia is currently not an official medical diagnosis, and it is not listed in the DSM-IV. There are however a few peer-reviewed studies on this condition in PubMed, including proposed diagnostic criteria.
Bratman proposes an initial self-test composed of two direct questions: "Do you care more about the virtue of what you eat than the pleasure you receive from eating it?… Does your diet socially isolate you?". There is also a longer version of this test:
The Bratman Test for Orthorexia
- Do you spend more than 3 hours a day thinking about your diet?
- Do you plan your meals several days ahead?
- Is the nutritional value of your meal more important than the pleasure of eating it?
- Has the quality of your life decreased as the quality of your diet has increased?
- Have you become stricter with yourself lately?
- Does your self-esteem get a boost from eating healthily?
- Have you given up foods you used to enjoy in order to eat the 'right' foods
- Does your diet make it difficult for you to eat out, distancing you from family and friends?
- Do you feel guilty when you stray from your diet?
- Do you feel at peace with yourself and in total control when you eat healthily?
"Yes" to 4 or 5 of the above questions means it is time to relax more about food.
"Yes" to all of them means a full-blown obsession with eating healthy food.
Note: I could not find any published validation of this questionnaire!
Interestingly, the description of this condition reminds me of other irrational "healthy" behaviours I often see, like in people who firmly believe in the health merits of excessive exercise (fitness junkies), the miraculous benefits of nurtritional supplements, or, in the "opposite" sense, patients who are firmly convinced of the extreme "toxic" nature of pharmaceutical medications, which are to be avoided at all costs.
Patients with these "belief systems" are seldom open to rational discussion on these issues nor do they even see these beliefs to be a problem
In clinical practice, I find dealing with such individuals highly frustrating and certainly well-beyond the scope of my own practice. Recognizing such behaviours that often result in evident self-harm (or refusal of care), is one of the few true frustrations that I experience in working with patients, often leaving me no option but to refer them for psychological or psychiatric assessment and management.
I would certainly love to hear from anyone with experience in dealing with these issues.

August 19th, 2009 at 8:17 amInteresting post. I have seen a number of these types of patients in my practice over the years. I think the best approach is to focus on the common threads that link these patients (obsessive compulsive features tinged with near delusional fixed beliefs) rather than try to come up with a label for the different presentations. Pursuing uniqueness might interfere with our understanding of how to help these people. I agree that psychological understanding is necessary. As such, looking at cognitive behavioural therapies, which would focus on cognitive restructuring interventions and exposure based desensitization interventions, along with medications if needed, would be a way to go.
I think that CON will facilitate sharing of knowledge from those in the mental health field who work with OCDs and eating disorders and fixed belief systems with the medical and lifestyle focus.

March 9th, 2010 at 4:58 pmI'm not sure if orthorexia exists on a spectrum. I'm not a raw-foodist, but I do find that my "food rules" can be socially isolating. I'm leery of the calories in a typical restaurant meal, and while I allow myself a splurge once in awhile, even once a week is a lot less than would be normal in my socioeconomic strata, which would be more like 5 times a week (twice a week at work, twice a week with friends, once with family).
I just see the whole issue as calories and nutrition based. I'm a small sedentary female, which means I just don't burn that many calories even with a 45-minute walk. Once I eat my fruits, vegetables, dairy, protein, EFAs, I have 200 calories. That's a small piece of dark chocolate, dinner roll, and small glass of wine. Or it's a piece of cake. Or it's a 1 oz bag of chips. Or it's one sweet potato with a small amount of brown sugar. If I eat junk food, it either displaces the real food or it means I have to do extra exercise. Or I gain weight. A tall, active man would easily burn twice as many calories and would only need a little more vegetables and protein than I do, so they have more splurge calories.
Honestly, I'm pretty happy with where I am and think everyone else is wrong. I think eating out should be a treat, rather than the default for lunch. I know I will eat more calories, and a heavier meal – some people may successfully avoid the bread basket and choose the baked fish, but I don't see a point to paying to eat something I can effortlessly cook at home.
RG says:
March 9th, 2010 at 5:09 pmPS – just as a point of comparison, my parents are fairly healthy eaters (Indian vegetarian low-fat) but are also short and sedentary. Both of them are about 30-40 pounds overweight, which means that they're eating 500-700 extra calories every day. Where are those calories? Maybe they're in the bread they eat with every meal. Or the weekly takeout pizza. Or the parties at friend's houses. Or empty calories in rice.
Here's another woman's response to the orthorexia quiz:
Razwell says:
June 19th, 2011 at 7:49 amHi, Dr. Sharma.
A very intelligent man, Urgelt of YouTube, taught me that healthful eating means variety. I would say enormous variety is the top healthful eating principle.
(All with the underlying understanding thet science has not sorted this out by any means. There are many, many nutrients not even identified yet by science, let along knowing how they all interact synergystically to produce health, or how a specific newly discovered nutrient benefits us).
All dietary decisions carry *some* risk ,unfortunately.
But generally "eating the rainbow "gives us fiber, phytochemicals, micronutrients that we thrive on. That seems to be likely a good idea. At least we do know leafy greens ( washed off of pesticides, sulfur compounds etc.) are a good thing generally.
Thee is much more to health than food however, and these orthorexic people do not seem to have a healthful outlook. We are what we eat is NOT a good expression., and not true
The truth is : we are what we experience.
Take care,

Unbiased Reviews by Real People
This is a regular-format Secure Digital (SD) card, regular in the sense that it's not of the latest SDHC (SD High Capacity) format. This is a good thing because it means this 2GB card is compatible with most SD devices like digital cameras, digital camcorders, GPS units, Pocket PCs, etc. Unfortunately, most USB media card readers (including Sandisk's own as well as Belkin ones) cannot deal with capacity larger than 1GB yet. So be *VERY* careful if you plan to use this 2GB SD card with a USB card reader: if you do want to do it, make sure you only read from it, not write to it, or you would risk corrupting the entire memory which would require reformatting. (Unfortunately, because most OS's write some extra system information to disks all the time, it's extremely unlikely you can avoid any writes when you insert this SD card into a USB card reader.) While compatibility with my devices seems good so far, what I don't like is the card's speed. It's actually quite slow. Sure, this is a standard-speed card, the cheapest model in Sandisk's SD lineup. Still, it feels slower than my xD-Picture card, which itself is not a speed demon by any measure. So even though you get a lot of capacity (2GB formatted in FAT32), filling it up could take a painfully long time, even over USB 2.0 high-speed. In the end, I think this is a good value simply because it's cheap. I've filled mine with MP3s and JPEGs and nowadays use it with my portable GPS. For MP3 playback, the speed is not a big issue, but when viewing large JPEG files, it can be a little trying to my patience.
