Former hay trucker works to alter federal transport regulations
More About:
An attempt by the federal government to create uniform regulations for securely transporting products — including baled hay and straw — led to a one-man crusade for new hay hauling rules that would be reasonable and safe.
In 1995, because of the North American Free Trade Agreement, the U.S. government enacted requirements to ensure that "general cargo" was securely transported in a uniform manner between states and into Canada and Mexico.
Unfortunately, says Taylor Stack of Fallon, NV, hay and straw bales were classified as general cargo. And that made bale-loaded vehicles subject to stringent strapping requirements. Even worse, he says, were some state patrol interpretations of those rules.
"Some law enforcement officers believed that you'd have to have a rope over every bale, which would mean 30 ropes down the side of a load. It was just getting ridiculous," says Stack, a hay dealer who also hauled hay for 38 years.
So he decided to do something about it. Through sheer persistence, he convinced the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration to provide a temporary rule stating that the combination of a bale loading/stacking pattern, longitudinal straps or ropes and one or two lateral straps are enough to secure a hay or straw load for transport.
It took him three years to get that temporary solution. Now he's working for a permanent rule that will move baled hay and straw from the general cargo category to a commodity-specific law.
The idea of providing uniform requirements for transporting products across North America was sound, Stack says. The actual requirements for baled hay and straw weren't, he adds.
For 65 years, hay haulers have stacked bales so they hold themselves on trucks or trailers. Then longitudinal ropes are used to pull the hay together end to end.
"But when hay got put into general cargo, what they wanted were five lateral straps and never mentioned our longitudinal ropes — never asked for specific stacking so a load wouldn't fall off," he says.
"Basically, it wouldn't have stayed on a truck. So we ran our original way plus we put five straps on just to keep from getting tickets."
By 2003, however, hay securement was being interpreted "to extremes" in Nevada, he says. That's when Stack did some research, jumped into his pickup and invited himself to a North American Cargo Securement Harmonization Workshop in New Mexico.
"I wasn't on the agenda but when they knew I was there they made time for me and welcomed me," he says. "They said: 'If you're right, we'll try to fix it.' So every six months I would attend (meetings) and bring more and more of what they needed."
Stack soon realized that the government needed "proof on paper" that securing bales with longitudinal ropes and proper stacking was superior to lateral straps. He found it in an Oregon engineering study that had "put a load of hay through hell to see what it can take." But the study researched synthetic strapping and not rope.
So Stack volunteered his hay, equipment, place and time to do a like study using rope. "We surpassed every one of those criteria with the way we secure loads, which proved all this extra strapping was unnecessary."
He figures it will be another year or longer before the permanent rule is reality. But he's in it for the "long haul."
"Just keeping your head down and working is not a bad thing, but it is not enough," Stack wrote in a letter to hay industry colleagues. "Being involved and improving your awareness will prevent unnecessary and unjust changes like the one we have just experienced."
At this point, about 200 people from the hay industry, law enforcement, federal agencies, the trucking association, Farm Bureau and ag-related publishing are working on the issue.
"Our effort has also helped the fruit and vegetable industry, as its problem was similar to ours. They were able to advance fast due to our efforts," Stack says.

I love these headphones because unlike normal ear buds, they never fall out! Great for jogging and working out. I have purchased at least 4 pairs of these headphones. Downside is that they break every year or so. Still would recommend.

LeBron James Points Out That According to Michael Jordan's Logic, MJ Is Not The Best Basketball Player Ever
Categories: Sports
James at first shook it off, but clearly he's been thinking it over enough to realize that by Michael Jordan's own logic, Michael Jordan would only be tied as the eighth best basketball player of all time.
"Five beats one every time I look at it," Jordan said yesterday when asked whether Kobe or LeBron was better. "And not that (James) won't get five. He may get more than that, but five is bigger than one."
LeBron originally took a "It doesn't matter to me" stance, but obviously has thought about it a bit more.
"He said he would take Kobe over me because ... five rings are better than one and last time he checked five is better than one,'' James said according to Fox Sport's Christ Tomasson. "But that's his own opinion. At the end of the days, rings doesn't always define somebody's career. If that's the case, then I would sit up here and say, I would take Russell over Jordan. But I wouldn't. I wouldn't take Russell over Jordan. Russell has 11 rings, Jordan has six. Would I take Robert Horry (who has seven) over Kobe? I wouldn't do that. It's your personal opinion. Rings does not define somebody's career ... Charles Barkley doesn't have one ring ... Patrick Ewing is one of the greatest of all time (and doesn't have one). Reggie Miller is one of the greatest of all time (and doesn't have one). Sometimes it's the situation you're in, it's the team you're in. And it's about time as well. I don't play the game and try to define who I am over what guys say or what they feel about me. It doesn't matter to me, I go out and I play for my family, I play for my coaching staff.''
LeBron makes a good point. This focus on individual players on their ring count tends to ignore the fact that basketball is a team game. Would Jordan have six if he didn't have help from Scottie Pippen? Would Kobe have five without Shaq? Would Robert Horry have seven without the actual star players on all the basektball teams he played on?
LeBron certainly outranks Kobe in some measurable individual matters. LeBron has three MVPs (and may well be on his way to a fourth). Kobe just has one. LeBron is also currently on an NBA record breaking streak. No one else in the league's entire history has gone six games in a row scoring at least 30 points while shooting 60 percent from the floor as LeBron just did. Not Kobe. Not even Jordan.

Throw another shrimp on the barbee, as they say in Australia. Or do they?
You think you know a little about the typical Aussie, right? Kangaroo-riding, croc-wrestling, beach-dwelling people with a genetic predisposition to having no worries, mate. Okay, so Australia has an abundance of furry — and sometimes fearsome — wildlife, year-round sunshine, and laid-back people. In fact, it's the happiest place on earth, according to a recent OECD report. But it is also a country that routinely locks up asylum seekers, sells its military services to the U.S. and everything else to the Chinese, and worst of all worships that ridiculously long and complex game, cricket. Through Down Under, we invite you to explore both the delights and the darker side of Australia.

Chris Malinchak – So Good To Me
Chris Malinchak and his French Express mates have pumped out an incredible amount of high quality free music this past year, and the crusade keeps on going with yet another freebie from the Malinchak. So Good To Me is a bit of a surprise from Malinchak. It still has great groove, which all Malinchak productions have, yet the synth progression and timbre, as well as the 'ooooh' give it a more open aired feeling than his previous productions. A great laid-back tune for a rest filled day or night.

We will be going to Albany, and then turning around to drive straight back to PA to spend the night. I don't anticipate getting pulled over, but if I do is it better to forget about the gun?

Rosenberg Foundation Announces Gift to Bard College to Create Student Internships Under Bard Human Rights Project
: The Justus and Karin Rosenberg Foundation announced today a gift to Bard College to create a student internship program that begins in the summer of 2015. The Rosenberg internships enable students to gain hands-on experience with nonprofit groups and other organizations that focus on hatred, antisemitism, extremism, and xenophobia. In the context of rising waves of violent religious and ethnic prejudice in Europe and elsewhere, of which the Charlie Hebdo attack and the killing of Jews in France and Denmark are just recent examples, the program will support work on the front lines of the struggle for human rights.

Album review: Shakira, "Sale el Sol"
By Allison Stewart
Global pop star and hip-swinging tsunami Shakira's last album was 2009's forgettable "She Wolf," a work of cheerful insanity that found the singer following her usual unassailable instincts down an electro-pop rabbit hole. "She Wolf" smothered Shakira's personality under a barrage of generic effects, often desultory beats and, occasionally, wolf sounds (Shakira is nothing if not literal).
"Sale el Sol" doesn't make the same mistakes. A Spanish/English dance/rock amalgam that relies on a United Nations' worth of contributors, "Sale el Sol" (roughly translated to "The Sun Comes Out") cartwheels through just about every contemporary pop sub-genre, inventing some along the way. "Loca" is hip-hop merengue performed in two languages, with assistance from Dominican rapper El Cata and English rapper Dizzee Rascal, with little appreciable difference between the versions; "Lo Que Más" is one of a handful of doleful ballads; the Pitbull-assisted "Rabiosa" is giddy, rapid-fire Latin pop. There's also a cover of electro hipster outfit the xx's "Islands" that suggests a softer version of "Ray of Light."
"Sale" showcases Shakira's remarkable voice, as always an indecipherable waterfall of gurgles and growls and coos where consonants go to die and where English and Spanish versions sound pretty much the same. "Sale" is eclectic though not necessarily adventurous -- most tracks would have sounded equally at home in late 2008 -- but it provides a better showcase for Shakira's countless charms than its predecessors ever did.
Recommended tracks: "Waka Waka (Esto es Africa)," "Gordita," "Rabiosa"

In recent times factoring has gained immense success and is being used by small to midsized companies as a tool for immediate funding needs. The financing companies these days are adding factoring services to their list of services. But collecting payments for outstanding invoices can be a pain for the company. Therefore the process can be outsourced to specialized providers in cash collection services, who would regularly follow up with the debtors for the payment of invoices.
Factoring is a financial transaction whereby a business sells its accounts receivable (i.e., invoices) to a third party (called a factor) at a discount in exchange for immediate money with which to finance continued business. Factoring is not a loan, it is the purchase of a financial asset (the receivable) involving three parties, i.e. the seller, the debtor, and the factor.
Factoring is a method used by a firm to obtain cash when the available cash balance held by the firm is insufficient to meet current obligations. Eg. XYZ ltd has clients that take up to 45 to 60 days to pay their accounts receivable? Waiting months to get paid for the invoices can create disorder in the company's cash flow, especially if they have to meet payroll, pay suppliers and pay rent. But what happens if the business can't wait to get paid because it must meet its obligations?
Accounts receivable factoring is quiet simple. It can be done in three steps:
Accounts Receivable Factoring is easy to obtain and is an ideal tool for small and medium sized businesses who cannot obtain bank financing but have a solid client base.
The factoring company can in turn outsource the work to outsourcing service providers specializes in cash collection services.
The outsourcing company first carries out what can be termed as an image capture. This means that as soon as a purchase order is received, the company scans the purchase order, and then index it based on fields such as customer name, customer number, invoice number and date. This will ensure that all customer data is stored together digitally and is accessible when required.
The next is to scan the POD, or proof of delivery. Here, the customer signature on the document is verified. This serves as a proof that the goods were received and accepted. The next step involves the creation of the invoice statement. Once this is done, the company initiates the process of collecting the money as the due date arrives. All Outsourcing companies focus on maintaining a cordial relationship with the customers, and collecting the money as soon as possible.
In fact, some companies also design customized solutions to implement both inbound and outbound treatment plans to manage the Accounts Receivable based on the customer relationship strategy of the company.
The company then contacts the customer through formal letters or phone calls, and also maintains a record of the same. If, after adequate reminders, the payments do not materialize, the company also prepares statistical reports stating the causes of delinquencies. It also tracks issues like non-payment due to damaged merchandise, unfulfilled service and pricing discrepancies.

London Heathrow Airport 'could gain flights to Afghanistan'
Wed, 29 Apr, 2009
London Heathrow Airport could gain flights to Afghanistan, according to one of the Asian country's airline.
Ariana which is banned by the European Union from flying in UK airspace at present has announced its intention to the Telegraph.
Its president and chief executive Captain Moin Khan Wadak told the newspaper: "God willing, we will be flying to Heathrow. If not
then Gatwick."
The news provider reports that the firm is keen to begin the service after the fall of the Taliban and the recovery of the economy in the country.
The airline used to fly to and from the capital's facility to Kabul until the early 1990s and has since faced UN sanctions.
Meanwhile, a domestic flight was hit by hijackers in 2000, which eventually landed at London Stansted Airport.
Heathrow is located in to the west of England's capital, close to the M4 and M25 motorways.
Those with satnavs wishing to take advantage of airport parking options can get accurate directions by inputting the postcodes of the Terminals for 1 it is TW6 1AP and for 2 TW6 1EW.

Alkaptonuria is a human hereditary metabolic disease characterized by a very high urinary excretion of homogentisic acid, an intermediary product in the metabolism of tyrosine, in association with ochronosis and arthritis. This disease is due to a deficiency in the enzyme homogentisic acid oxidase and is inherited as an autosomal recessive condition. We have found a new recessive mutation (aku) in the mouse that is homologous to human alkaptonuria, during a mutagenesis program with ethylnitrosourea. Affected mice show high levels of urinary homogentisic acid without signs of ochronosis or arthritis. This mutation has been mapped to Chr 16 close to the D16Mit4 locus, in a region of synteny with human 3q.

Video Pick: How a Pro Photographer and an Instagram Star Express Themselves Through Photography
Friday, May 3, 2013 at 9:00AM
We just came across this wonderful documentary by filmmaker Andy Newman called Portrait, and it focuses on two Seattle professionals who embrace photography and creativity as a huge part of their lives. At the New York Institute of Photography, we're continually hearing from students taking our photography course online that they take our courses because they have always had a deep passion for photography and they'd like to learn how to improve their photo-taking skills.
This short doc perfectly underscores our students' passion for expressing themselves creatively through photography. It's an activity that will grab you and never let go for the rest of your life, and it will become a way to connect every facet of who you are into one continuously flowing form of creative expression. If you're currently an NYIP student, we think you'll love this video as it reinforces your chosen path. And to those of you who might be exploring photography education, watch this video and see if you identify with either of these individuals; they follow different career paths, but photography becomes their unique intersection point. If you think photography might be your path, I encourage you to explore NYIP's courses or learn photoshop. We've helped thousands of people - more than any other photography school on the planet - pursue their dreams.
We're the New York Institute of Photography, a distance education school teaching photography since 1910 - over 100 years of knowledge and experience.

Hi All,
I have a 2006 2.0l TDCI Focus Ghia with 82K and regularly serviced . My problem is not on the motorway at high speeds but around town doing 30mph. If it was a petrol engine I would say that it sometimes 'fires on 3'. My local independent garage has run tests and it's showing no faults. And of course didn't play up on the day they had it. They did a re-gen on the emission system anyway but it hasn't cured it. I've tried a diesel additive ( Forte ) because it felt as if there was some kind of gunge build up - but still no difference. If I floor it I get good acceleration and the problem disappears. Any thoughts ??
Thanks in advance

The Abair/Hebert - Leddy Family Connections
The intent of this website is to collect, present, and preserve the genealogical information centered around the family of Leo and Mary (Leddy) Abair of Colchester, Vermont, and their nine children: Alan, John, Bob, Marilee, Chris, Carol, David, Mark, and Phil. (Family Portrait).
The site also includes genealogy tables built for other local families and friends.
Here are some associated links, including pages containing tables generated based on emails from other Abairs to our family web site, Abair.com.
Sourmail Lafayette
1926 - 2010 The genealogical information is presented in a series of linked web pages, either containing a descendant table or an ancestral table for an individual. In an individual's descendant table their known children occupy cells within their table, descending down through the generations. In an individual's ancestral table their two parents each occupy a cell above the individual's cell, ascending up through the generations.
Recording this kind of information using standardized HTML is simple, and makes it accessible to anyone with a web browser. Making the content available on the internet will allow family members to view and submit information, resulting in a dynamic database of our family lineage which could be maintained for the benefit of future generations.
Exposing this kind of information on the internet may cause some individuals to have concerns about privacy. Basically, the source of the information is a "matter of public record" (births/deaths, marriages/divorces). Though, it is encouraged to include other information: occupation, accomplishments, email/website, pictures, other. If any content or personal information on this site is a concern to anyone, please contact me at email@example.com and I will remove it.
A special thanks to Leo Abair for collecting and assembling the initial Hebert/Abair genealogical information, and to John T. Leddy for the extensive research he did on the Leddy family.
This site is dedicated to the memory of our cousin Mark William Abair (1962-1997) for his significant contribution of a wealth of information we obtained from his Ahnentafel (ancestor table).

Wilfred Lau's (劉浩龍) admission that he is currently dating Joey Yung (容祖兒) has unearthed a complicated love triangle involving Denise Ho (何韻詩). The extent of the former intimacy between Joey and Denise was closely scrutinized. Denise also allegedly dated Wilfred in the late 1990s. The extent of the trio's intertwined love feelings remained ambigous. In April, Wilfred had publicly "proposed" to Denise in Weibo. Wilfred's flirtatious remark to Denise has been heavily criticized by fans, questioning his loyalty in love.
Wilfred alleged dated Denise when both were newcomers to the entertainment industry in the late 1990s. In 2007, Denise and Joey's friendship grew closer. After Denise and Joey's relationship allegedly ended earlier this year, Wilfred realized he loved Joey despite being friends for more than 10 years.
At an earlier press conference, Wilfred declared, "I like her (Joey Yung) very much!"
Although Wilfred was photographed sharing a barbecue meal with Joey in April, he flirted unabashedly with Denise Ho at the same time! In an April Weibo blog message, Wilfred teasingly said to Denise, "Are you willing to marry me yet?"
Although Wilfred professed to be deeply in love with Joey, his flirtatious remark to Denise angered fans. Wilfred's behavior was blasted as "terrifying"!
Appearing at a promotional event yesterday, Wilfred appeared to be sour faced. Due to current public backlash in his high-profile dating of Joey, Wilfred refused to comment further on his love life. The initial enthusiam that Wilfred professed several days ago when declaring that he loved Joey appeared to be gone.

Jayne: I believe I understand the source of Denise's anger and feelings of "betrayal" now. As recently as April, Wilfred was still flirting with her. Denise also joked back that she was willing to hand over Joey with both hands to Wilfred. It might seem as friendly banter.
In the span of 2 months, Joey and Wilfred have fallen in love. Denise must feel as if Joey and Wilfred withinheld information from her, misleading her into thinking they were friends when romance was brimming in the air. Perhaps Denise does not believe that Wilfred and Joey "suddenly" fell in love and just wished to be informed earlier on as to what was happening. To be included, no matter what the development was, rather than to be made a "fool."
The extreme interpretation would be that Denise felt as if her trust in her friends was manipulated. As true friends would share such an important development with each other sooner, while friends such as Wyman Wong and Nicholas Tse already knew Joey and Wilfred were an item.

There is line your should never cross in friendships, that is dating their ex. Second lying about and not being truthful, it was like Denise was slapped in the face. As the song goes "Don't let me be the last to know".
Totally agree. People forget about loyalty and respect. Not a fan of Joey or Denise or Wilfred
Wilfred should be the one to be blame, playing around with girls who are best friend. I don't like that guy.
I don't get her source of anger because her so called bisexuality is actually .. well se is a lesbian. I think she is angry and hurt at Joey.
is Wilfred somehow using this for publicity because I just realized he announced this during his new drama press conference.
he just using Joey to get the fame
I have the same thought just like you..

I dont even know who is he b4 ts. Denise must be very hurt especially by Joey. I am not a fan of Dennis but I pity her. How can Joey dated her best friend ex?? Terrible terrible
It's fishy that he's so quick to announce his relationship with Joey to the world
This guy is doing the same thing like kevin federline using fame of britney and he use of Joey

4 A true gemShikakka | 23/05/2011 | See all Shikakka's reviews (25)If this game doesnt win game of the year ill eat my 1940's trilby.Wow, the first moment I heard some of that sexy noire music I knew that I would love this game. Its totally brilliant, not for the younger genertaion and i even think that the older teens and early 20's wont fully appreciate this game, its deffiantley aimed at an older generation or a younger generation (like me, being M23yrs) that can appreciate the work, style, feel and gameplay of LA Noire.Its a very lenghty game and not for people who dont have a lot of gaming time as some of the case's can take a few hours and its not just that they take so long but you wont want to walk away from your tv until youve caught the crim, very intersting and gripping game.My only fault with the game is that there isnt much to do while not on a case, yes i know your a cop so duh what else would you be doing. But I kinda feel that with the size of LA, the detail in the game and how much work has obviously gone into creating it, I dont want to finish the main story and have nothing left to do. Personally I would of like to have seen a bit more customisation eg, BUYING your new suits and maybe choosing your car from a garage and choosing your weapons and equipment from the guy in the cop shop who looks after everyting, (you know what i mean). Now this may be included in some DLC but as it stands youve got this huge open world and only 2 things to do, the main story or the side missions (which are just other case's) I know its not GTA but it deffinatley needs some of its older brothers elements, eg clothes shops etc. Just something small to pass the time before you take on another GIANT case. But I suppose with you playing a cop ( a good cop) he's not going to be driving around looking for hookers and people to drive-by.lol Although Im sure Rockstar/Bondi will have better ideas than me for what they can add to the game. But that is my only problem, not much to do other than the case's leaves the game feeling a little (dare i say it) EMPTY.But still I love this game, theres nothing else like this out right now and I think it should win game of the year, not everyones cup of tea but for those who appreciate what it is you will totally love it.Peace
5 Questioning People Of InterestKBiffo | 23/05/2011 | See all KBiffo's reviews (12)Ok so I have read the reviews for the X-box and PS3 and the same common theme pops out when some people are being negative about this game - having to reload the case as you get a few questions wrong.Let me say that picking the wrong option does not mean that you will not solve the case, it just probably means that it will take you a while. Getting the option right helps you with experience points and to unlock some secret achievements as well as giving you a STAR rating for each case.At the end of each case it give you some clues to what you could have done.Do not worry about reloading a case unless you want to play it again to get a better rating. This does not effect the gameplay at all.This is an excellent game and I would recommend it to everyone.Enjoy!
5 GTA in the 1940s, Brilliant Game!!!troopercop | 20/05/2011 | See all troopercop's reviews (8)Very atmospheric game that drawers you into the various criminal investigations with some nice set pieces and gameplay touches. The graphics and character acting is superb. Only done the first dozen missions so far but its so addictive!!Then to top it all off, you can drive around a massive map of 1940s LA a la GTA style as a cop.Top Game, Highly Recommended xx
3 Definitely unique, but honestly could have been betterChriss790 | 02/06/2011 | See all Chriss790's reviews (10)Positives:I believe there wasn't a game like this until now, at least not as hyped. Interrogations are the crucial part of the game and despite some glitches they make it stand out. Challenging and unique. I like them.Also I simply enjoyed it. It was like I was watching a good movie, not an excellent one, but one that is engaging and keeps you going.Graphics are good, not excellent, but just the presence of the huge area and many detailed landmarks is due credit to the creators of the game.Negatives:Now, despite its uniqueness the game also has its downsides.- DrivingI find it bad. Cars are pretty hard to control and honestly it is good that they introduced the ability of skipping driving parts, because I took no enjoyment whatsoever in crashing around. When it comes to crashing, I mean CRASHING. I find it silly on its own that as an LAPD cop you are able to crash around and take no responsibility for it at all, but hey, that's Rockstar and GTA habits for you. It's silly that as a policeman you can basically kill people in hit-and-run situation and disrupt the traffic so easily. Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't mind to be able to drive at high speeds (because sensibly in such games it would be stupid to have to obey the traffic rules), but then the driving should be made easier or there should be at least some repercussions.- Interrogation and storyline glitchesWhilst playing the story mode I have noticed some imperfections during interrogations. In some cases the reactions of people do not match their overall state of mind eg. a girl gets told that her mother is dead, but is able to maintain composure and undergo interrogation by LAPD cops without presence of a parent, how realistic.Also the Black Dahlia Homicide part of story is very dodgy. I mean how in the world can you investigate five murders, collect stone-hard evidence against your suspects eg. finding matching bloodied rope in the slum or a bloodied knife and scalpel in the locker of a crazed salesperson and then for it to turn out that it was actually a Black Dahlia killer ? If there was a connection between the killer and all the suspects they should have included it in the game and not just throw the evidence around random people linked to the victims.Also, I'm not the kind of person to enjoy running around a giant map unless it's actually worth something and it seems to me that the only purpose of having FILM REELS with those old noir films is exactly just to make you drive around the city to explore it. Same thing with DIFFERENT HIDDEN VEHICLES which are there for you to find, but there is nothing extra about them. I really think the developers could have come up with something a bit more original than just a way to make you do sight-seeing in order to get the trophy if you desire (and I don't). Just add something more and much more people would be interested in looking into the new cars or the old films.And personally, I would want the game to be a bit more strict when it comes to pursuits, because too often those street crimes and pursuits end up in the death of the suspect. But again, that's just my opinion and I realise that maybe shooting those criminals adds more to the game somehow, someway.OVERALLI think the game was good. I enjoyed the story mode and I think it has a good potential for a sequel if Rockstar decide to create one. After all the story of the characters has not ended with the last scene and it could be continued.
5 Excellentfranky85 | 22/05/2011 | See all franky85's reviews (1)Rockstar have again released a breakthrough game. I am currently just over half way through the game and have enjoyed every minute. The game doesnt seem original at first glance, playing as a detective solving crimes, but the new facial technology used introduces a whole new aspect to gaming. At first the game annoyed me a little because I messed up with a few suspects and I did replay a couple of sections however I realised I was getting nothing from the game doing this, as with anything there is a learning curve and if you bear with it and look for any facial clues in interviews and search properly for clues then you will soon become a good detective, heres a tip dont say lie unless you have concrete proof to back it up this means check every nook and cranny for clues before interviewing a suspect. Driving in games has never been my strong point but it is ok here and if you put your siren on you get away with things, you can have your partner drive if you dont want to however you will miss out on despatch calls (side missions) if you do so and these help to improve your experience level which leads to unlockables, intuition points (very useful) and bonuses. Im hoping the rest of the game is as good as what I have played so far. A warning once you start a case you will struggle to put your controller down until you have solved it. Happy gaming to you all!!

Surgical Treatments Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)
There are many medical (nonsurgical) options for treating COPD including smoking cessation, medications, oxygen therapy, nutrition, and pulmonary rehabilitation. Medical (nonsurgical) options.
Lung Volume Reduction Surgery (LVRS), involving removal of sections of damaged lung tissue, has shown promising results for patients with end-stage emphysema. By removing the most diseased tissue (up to 30% of the lung volume), the goal is to improve the residual lung function and respiratory mechanics. LVRS can be performed through either median sternotomy (open chest) or video-assisted minimally invasive technique. NewYork-Presbyterian/Columbia in New York City is the only medical center in the tri-state area designated by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) as a center of excellence in LVRS for the treatment of emphysema.
Most private insurance plans cover the procedure, while Medicare covers lung volume reduction surgery with condition.
Not all patients with advanced emphysema are candidates for LVRS. For patients who do not qualify for LVRS, we provide other options for treatment, including redirection of airflow by means of bronchoscopically implanted stents and valves. These procedures enable trapped air to escape and improve overall lung function. We are a a major research and treatment center for these airway procedures and are currently offering several through clinical trials.
If you are interested in being evaluated for lung volume reduction surgery, please call the Center for Lung Failure at 212.305.1158 to obtain a patient questionnaire. You will need to discuss your interest in LVRS with your primary physician, who will be asked to provide your medical information to us including history, pulmonary function, and x-ray studies.
The staff at the Center for Lung Failure will review that information to determine whether you're a candidate for an on-site evaluation. If you qualify, you will be invited to the center for 2 days of outpatient testing, including
- Chest X-ray,
- Chest CT scan,
- Perfusion scan of lungs,
- Blood tests (alpha1 antitrypsin; Cotinine level),
- Complete pulmonary function test with lung volumes by plethsymography
- Room air arterial blood gas
- Dobutamine stress test of heart
- Cardiopulmonary exercise test
After the completion of these tests your review for the procedure will conclude with examination by a pulmonologist and surgeon who make final decisions about your eligibility to proceed with lung volume reduction surgery. All patients, whether surgical candidates or not, are evaluated for and prescribed a pulmonary rehabilitation program by the rehabilitation medical physician during their evaluation at the Center.
Patients accepted for surgery are referred to a 6-week program of outpatient pulmonary rehabilitation prior to surgery as well as a preoperative checkup in the final week of the program. At this time surgical consent is obtained, surgery scheduled and preoperative testing including an evaluation by an anesthesiologist is performed. All arrangements are made with the patient and his or her family and the staff at the Center for Lung Failure.
Lung Resection refers to the removal of a portion of the lung (lobectomy) or the whole lung (pneumonectomy) in patients with lung cancer, emphysema or other lung disorders. The procedure involves either an incision in the chest (open surgery), or a minimal access approach to remove the diseased area of the lung.
Lung transplantation offers a return to improved breathing and an excellent quality of life for patients suffering from advanced emphysema. NewYork-Presbyterian/Columbia is a leading center in the field of lung transplantation. In each of the last three years, more lung transplants were performed here than at any other transplant hospital in the tristate region. Medicare-approved as a center of excellence in lung transplantation, our outcomes are a testament to our expertisewith one-year survival following double-lung transplant exceeds 90%. This is far superior to the results of many highly regarded transplant programs in the country.
In addition to services and treatment available through the Department of Surgery, Columbia's Division of Pulmonary, Allergy & Critical Care provides additional options for clinical trials and treatment for COPD.

[Paul Sancya/AP]By Jay JaffeMonday's exhibition game between the Diamondbacks and Reds featured a frosty home plate exchange between managers Kirk Gibson and Dusty Baker as they traded lineup cards. Baker had asked Gibson if the teams could play using designated hitters, because he wanted to get some extra at-bats in for Shin-Soo Choo, who's dealing with soreness in his right quadriceps. It seemed like a reasonable request, something that happens with some frequency during the spring even between NL teams, but Gibson, who as the home manager had final say in the decision, refused to honor it because… well, apparently because he wanted to show he was more of an old school hardass than his opposite number, whose old school hardass-itude is hardly in question. Said Gibson:"I had it happen last year with a team, they tried to put the DH in there and that's not the way it's done… I wanted to play a National League game. I notified them several times and they just wanted to do it their way and they couldn't do it. So they didn't like that. But we play by the rules here, that's the way it is. We go over there we play by their rules. It's very simple."Perhaps it had something to do with Choo not being gritty enough to tough it out enough for Gibson, but if there's anything more pointless than putting a player at risk during an early March spring training game, it's pitchers hitting, and if there's anything pointless than pitchers hitting, it's pitchers hitting during spring training games. Thanks to Gibson's heroism, the Diamondbacks' Brandon McCarthy went 0-for-1 with a first-pitch groundout, while Aaron Hill, Paul Goldschmitt and Mark Teahen got pinch-hitting opportunities as five other Arizona pitchers failed to bat. On the other side, Johnny Cueto took three called strikes, while Choo and somebody named Tucker Barnhart went 0-for-1 in the pinch in place of the other Reds pitchers who came to the plate. Scintillating stuff.Gibson can continue flexing his tough-guy muscles over NL rules, but the future clearly points in the other direction. With the move of the Astros to the AL to create two 15-team leagues, interleague games will take place all season long, which will put NL teams at a disadvantage from a roster standpoint. When I examined the history of DH production at Baseball Prospectus last year, I found that AL DHs had outproduced NL ones by a significant margin year after year, an average of 17 points worth of True Average (an expression of runs produced per plate appearance on a batting average scale after adjusting for park and league scoring environments) over the long haul, getting the upper hand in production at the position in all but two years since interleague play began in 1997. The gap appears to be widening, with margins of more than 20 points in five of the past seven years; last year it was 35 points (.277 to .242), as AL DHs hit a combined .256/.328/.430, while NL DHs hit just .234/.299/.389. Meanwhile, pitchers for both leagues hit a combined .129/.162/.166, with NL ones (.129/.162/.168) outproducing AL ones (.124/.148/.135) but boring the pants off of anybody watching.In Sunday's New York Post, Joel Sherman pointed out the way the new interleague format works against NL teams from a roster standpoint, as well as some of the other issues in play. Sherman quoted Major League Baseball Players Association executive director Michael Weiner as being particularly concerned about the additional injury risk to his constituents:"The issue of [AL] pitchers running and hitting and getting hurt is a real one… Teams are going to have to be more careful. No one pretends the need for an interleague game every day is a positive consequence of [moving Houston to the AL]. No one wants [interleague games] throughout the year. So [an increase in AL pitcher injuries] is a real possibility."As I noted last year, pitchers such as Jake Peavy, Mark Prior and Chien-Ming Wang — NL pitchers as well as AL ones — have suffered career-altering injuries while running the basepaths in recent years. Numerous others from both leagues such as Josh Beckett, Clay Buchholz, A.J. Burnett and Randy Johnson have gotten hurt swinging the bat, forcing them to the disabled list. There's no way baseball is a better game when it puts players at risk by making them do something with which they're so unfamiliar. Dodgers reliever Matt Guerrier may have had his tongue firmly in cheek in this Dos Equis spoof when he said, "Find out what it is in baseball that you don't do well, then don't do that thing," but in this case, it's true. Furthermore, as Sherman points out, there's no way the union is going to allow 15 well-paid jobs — those of the DHs, who tend to be older and more expensive — to be bargained out of existence. On the contrary, even with teams getting smarter about staffing the position, the creation of 15 more such jobs, not to mention a wider array of choices for such players, is a development that will appeal to the rank and file. While phasing out pitchers hitting in favor of the DH didn't come up during the most recent Collective Bargaining Agreement negotiations in 2011, it's likely to be on the agenda in 2016, when the next CBA is hammered out, if not sooner. Purists can thump their chests all they want in the meantime, but the everyday reality of the DH in both leagues isn't far off. Promoted Stories Comments

I understand all of your frustrations. Any school that says there is no such thing as a 504 plan is lying. It's federally mandated, but it may be a district thing that is done rather than at the school site. It really depends on how large your district is.
I have a son on a 504 and am pushing for the IEP. He has been diagnosed as ADHD with an anxiety disorder. The school was fighting me on the IEP, so I caved and went with the 504. Big mistake. I should have gone to the district level on that one. My son is medicated, but because of how severe his ADHD is, his impulsive issues get the better of him and oddly enough, he's the only one who is ever at fault in any behavioral incident. Amazing isn't it? He doesn't have behavioral issues in the classroom, only at recess and at lunch, where there is one supervision aide to three classes of students (assuming that only one grade is out at a time.)
Parents, when it all comes down to it, schools are no longer child centered, they are teacher centered. They are no longer focused on students with special needs and helping them improve, they are focused on getting the "average" kids to be sensational, so their school looks good in the papers. Am I harsh? Probably, but that is because I'm a frustrated parent, and special education teacher.
Yes, you read right. I know the laws, I know how our students should be treated, and some states are more child centered than others, but we have to be the advocates for our students, we have to be "that" parent. This is the only way our children are going to get the help they need. And even then, maybe I should just homeschool.

text: HR Magazine, January 2004 - The Language Investment By Kathryn Tyler 1/1/2004 Permissions Vol. 49, No. 1 Which language should you teach your employees? That depends on where you are, whom you hire and whom you serve-and your needs may be changing. For example, the Hispanic population in Tennessee increased 90 percent from 1990 to 1998, according to the 2000 Census Bureau estimate. "Our demand has been for Spanish," says Patricia Gardner, manager of the Business and Community Development Center for Chattanooga State Technical Community College (CSTCC) in Chattanooga, Tenn. "In the South, we hadn't had any real diverse cultural changes until [recently]. There has been an explosion." On the other hand, San Diego has long had large Spanish-speaking Hispanic populations and Tagalog-speaking Filipino populations, and in Dearborn, Mich., there is a large Middle Eastern population speaking Arabic, Farsi and other Middle Eastern languages.
