US 6171241 B1 Abstract A method of magnetic resonance imaging of myocardial motion includes positioning a portion of a patient such as a patient's heart within a main magnetic field and employing a plurality of RF signals to establish a plurality of parallel plane tags through the portion. In imaging heart motion, a first minimum spacing between adjacent tags is employed in a region where the tags will decrease their separation over systole and a second initial tag separation will be employed for portions wherein the tags increase their separation over systole. The method facilitates simultaneous imaging of both such motions. Fourier coefficients may be employed in establishing the generally parallel tags which may be positioned generally symmetrically about a central tag.

Description This application claims the benefit of Provisional Application No. 60/049442 which was filed on Jun. 12, 1997 and which is expressly incorporated herein by reference. 1. Field of the Invention The present invention provides a method for sampling motion of portions of a patient such as portions of the heart which have different movement characteristics and, more specifically, the method is directed toward using magnetic resonance imaging with variable separation tagging. 2. Description of the Prior Art The advantageous use of magnetic resonance imaging wherein a patient or object is placed within a magnetic field with alternating generation of RF pulses and gradient pulses serving to excite nuclei within the area of interest and cause responsive emission of magnetic energy which is picked up by a receiver and may be processed by computer means followed by recording, display or production of hard copy of the results has long been known. See, generally, Atalar-McVeigh U.S. Pat. No. 5,512,825 and Conturo-Robinson U.S. Pat. No. 5,281,914, both of which are assigned to the owner of the present invention, the disclosures of which is expressly incorporated herein by reference. It has been known to employ two sets of tagging planes oriented orthogonal to the image plane in imaging two dimensional heart wall motion with magnetic resonance imaging through spatial modulation of magnetization (SPAMM) approaches. See U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,111,820 and 5,217,016. U.S. Pat. No. 5,275,163 discloses the use of magnetic resonance imaging and monitoring motion of a part of an object. Pulse and gradient sequences are applied in pairs with spatially differing tagging patterns with subtraction being employed to form a tagged image. U.S. Pat. No. 5,352,979 discloses observing a phase angle response of volume elements in a slice or volume and imaging occurring before and during perturbations caused by external stimuli. U.S. Pat. No. 5,379,766 discloses quantitative motion evaluation of a portion of an object by employing a high contrast tagging grid for detection of tagging patterns. U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,315,248 and 5,545,993 disclose tracking of motion. In spite of the foregoing contributions to the art, there remains a need for a method of providing high resolution images of myocardial motion wherein portions of the myocardium being imaged may have different movement characteristics. The above-described need has been met by the present invention by providing a means for employing specific RF signals which establish a plurality of tag surfaces which pass through the myocardium and have variable spacing with respect to certain other tag surfaces. In one embodiment, the imaging of regions of the myocardium wherein the tags will increase their separation over systole, will have tag planes which are placed relatively close together at end-diastole. In regions where the tags decrease their separation over systole, the tags are placed farther apart so they remain detectable at end-systole. For example, the first approach may be taken in connection with radial thickening and the second approach in connection with circumferential shortening. Both of these types of measurements may be obtained simultaneously with the method of the present invention. It is an object of the present invention to provide a magnetic resonance imaging method which through the use of variable separation tagging permits obtaining higher resolution sampling of the motion of a material or object. It is another object of the present invention to provide such high resolution sampling of motion in connection with imaging myocardial motion. It is a further object of the present invention to provide such a method wherein the customized spacing between tags will be based upon whether the tags increase or decrease their separation over systole during movements. It is a further object of the present invention to provide such a method which can provide high resolution estimates of radial thickening and circumferential shortening of the myocardium simultaneously. It is yet another object of the invention to provide such images through variable separation tagging which maintains detectability at end systole. These and other objects of the invention will be more fully understood from the following description of the invention on reference to the illustrations appended hereto. FIG. 1 illustrates a prior art image wherein two modes of strain are sampled with a parallel plane tagging pattern. In the regions outlined with the black squares the tag planes are pushed together by circumferential shortening of the myocardium, in the regions outlined with the white rectangles the tags are stretched farther apart by radial thickening. FIGS. 2(a)-2(e) illustrates a prior art approach to myocardial motion imaging with end systolic tagged MR images with different tag separations. The initial separation of the tag planes is given below each image. All tags remain visible until a tag separation of 5 mm. At a 5 mm separation the tags on the free-wall are blurred together, eliminating the possibility of tracking these points. FIG. 3 illustrates schematically a variable separation tagging pattern of the present invention in which 13 tag lines are placed across the left ventricle. Two tag separations are used in this particular pattern; a region sampling circumferential shortening with 6 mm separations, and two regions sampling radial thickening with 4 mm initial separations. The pattern is easily adjusted to the dimensions of a particular heart. FIG. 4(a) illustrates a variable tag pulse sequence of the present invention with 50 RF pulses which generates separations of 6, 6, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4 mm. FIG. 4(b) is a Bloch simulation output of MZ(x), for the sequence shown in FIG. 4(a). The solid triangles denote the desired tag positions input by the user. FIG. 5(a) illustrates an image in phantom of the variable spacing tag pattern of the present invention with separations set to 7, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4 mm. FIG. 5(b) illustrates a profile through the center of the phantom showing tag profiles and tag separation. The circles are the individual pixel values. FIG. 6(a) is a variable spaced tag image of the present invention and FIGS. 6(b) and (c) illustrate fixed identical tag spacing of the prior art. A comparison of a variable separation tagging image, with two standard parallel tagged images. As employed herein the term "patient" means a living member of the animal kingdom including humans. The prime focus of the method of the present invention is to measure through magnetic resonance imaging moving portions of the myocardium of a patient. The present invention with its variable spacing between tags and specific selection of spacing facilitates such simultaneous imaging of portions of the myocardium which have different motion fields. For example, high resolution sampling of motion of the radial thickening and circumferential shortening responsive to myocardial movement is facilitated. Myocardial tagging with breath-hold imaging has been shown to be an effective method of accurately measuring myocardial motion. See Zerhouni et al., Human Heart: Tagging With MR Imaging—A Method for Noninvasive Assessment of Myocardial Motion, Radiology 169(1):59-63 (1988); Axel et al., MR Imaging of Motion With Spatial Modulation of Magnetization, Radiology 171(3):841-845 (1989); McVeigh et al., Cardiac Tagging With Breath-Hold Cine MRI, Magn. Reson. Med. 28(2):318-327 (1992); O'Dell et al., Displacement Field Fitting for Calculating 3D Myocardial Deformations From Tagged MR Images, Radiology 195:829-835 (1995); Young et al., Validation of Tagging With MR Imaging to Estimate Material Deformation, Radiology 188:101-108 (1993); and Moore et al., Tagged MR Imaging in a Deforming Phantom—Photographic Validation, Radiology 190:765-769 (1994). The spatial resolution of motion estimates is limited by the achievable density of tag points in the myocardium. Parallel plane tagging patterns are easy to generate and detect, and the Fourier coefficients of this tagging pattern are compacted along the readout axis permitting fast sampling for low motion blurring. See Axel et al., MR Imaging of Motion With Spatial Modulation of Magnetization, Radiology 171(3):841-845 (1989); McVeigh et al., Cardiac Tagging With, Breath-Hold Cine MRI, Magn Reson Med 28(2):318-327 (1992); Mosher et al., A DANTE Tagging Sequence for the Evaluation of Translational Sample Motion, Magn Reson Med 15(2):334-339 (1990); and McVeigh, E. R., MRI of Myocardial Function: Motion Tracking Techniques, Magn. Reson. Imag. 14(2): 137-150 (1996). The parallel plane tagging pattern, however, as well as the grid pattern, results in non-optimal sampling of the cardiac motion as shown in FIG. 1. There is a significant decrease in tag separation during systole in the regions sampling circumferential shortening, while regions sampling radial thickening show an increase in tag separation. To increase the density of tag point samples in the radial direction, tag planes can be moved closer together. Unfortunately, it has been shown that a distance of approximately 3-4 pixels or 4-6 mm between tag planes is required to resolve the location of the tags consistently although this depends on slice thickness. See McVeigh et al., Precision of Tag Position Estimation in Breath-Hold CINE MRI: The Effect of Tag Spacing, Society of Magnetic Resonance in Medicine, Book of Abstracts (1):199 (1993) and McVeigh et al., Resolution and SNR Requirements for Detecting Transmural Gradients in Myocardial Wall Thickening With MR Tagging, Radiology 193(P):199 (1994). As the slice becomes thinner, the intrinsic signal to noise ratio is reduced, therefore tag detection is more difficult; however, with thinner slices through-plane shears cause less tag blurring. We have found that the initial separation of the tag planes should be chosen so that the tags sampling circumferential shortening remain at least about 3-4 pixels or 4-6 mm apart at end-systole, setting the limit on the minimum tag separation. However, the separation of the tags sampling radial thickening can begin at about 3-4 pixels or 4-6 mm apart, because they will spread farther apart during contraction. A demonstration of this tag density problem is shown in FIGS. 2(a)-2(e). Here, the same heart is tagged with parallel plane tags of different uniform separations. If the initial tag plane separation is too small, the tags that are sampling circumferential shortening blur into a uniform gray signal by the end of systole, and all tracking information is lost. When the initial tag separation is less than 4 mm or 3 pixels in FIG. 2, the tags completely disappear in the regions at 12 and 6 o'clock. However, it is also clear from this picture that the radial thickening is sampled very well, in fact, for the 4 mm or 3 pixel initial tag separation there are three independent tag position estimates across the wall. With uniform tag plane separations, one must sacrifice this high density sampling of radial thickening to maintain an adequate tag separation for sampling the circumferential shortening. The present invention provides a method for producing a variable separation tagging pattern to obtain a higher density of motion estimates than obtained with a uniform tag plane separation. In order to match the left ventricular short axis displacement field, a variable separation tagging pattern can be used. If the initial tag separation is set in the region sampling circumferential shortening to approximately 6 pixels, and the initial tag separation in the region sampling radial thickening to approximately 4 pixels or 6 mm, radial thickening will be sampled with higher density without losing tag information in the circumferential shortening direction. Therefore, both strains will be measured more accurately than with parallel tags of equal separation. For a human heart, if it is assumed, for example, that 13-15 tags are desired across the left ventricle, these tags can be placed on either side of the central column of the image, with separations on each side as follows: 6 mm, 6 mm, 4 mm, 4 mm . . . . In most hearts, this will yield two tags across the heart wall in the region sampling radial thickening, as shown in FIG. 3. In the form shown in FIG. 3, the tag to adjacent tag spacing is symmetrical about the center tag and is greatest in the central region. It is advantageous to use a parallel plane tagging geometry to keep the Fourier coefficients of the tagging pattern concentrated along the readout axis, as previously mentioned. See McVeigh, E. R. MRI of Myocardial Function: Motion Tracking Techniques, Magn. Reson. Imag. 14(2):137-150 (1996). A simple method for achieving a variable separation tag pattern is to explicitly define the location of the tags with a multi-spectral radio-frequency (RF) pulse. See McVeigh et al., Noninvasive Measurement of Transmural Gradients in Myocardial Strain With Magnetic Resonance Imaging, Radiology 180(3):677-683 (1991). This tagging pattern could be created by applying a constant gradient in the readout direction which is normal to the tag direction and playing an RF pulse that is the summation of phase modulated waveforms at the appropriate frequency offsets. One disadvantage of explicitly defining the location of each tag plane is the relatively high RF power requirements, resulting in a prohibitively long pulse. This problem may be circumvented by designing the tagging pulse as a sequence of non-selective RF pulses separated by a short gradient pulse or blip. During the RF pulses the gradient is off, which contracts the sample bandwidth, thus reducing the power requirements. The sequence of RF pulses can be designed for the variable spaced tagging pattern using concepts from k-space excitation theory (Pauly et al., A k-Space Analysis of Small-Tip-Angle Excitation, J Magn Reson 81:43-56 (1989)). First, one generates the Fourier coefficients of the variable spaced tag pattern, then one uses those coefficients to construct an RF pulse train. Suppose the desired tagging pattern is f(x)*g(x), where g(x) is the tag profile and f(x) is a symmetric distribution of impulses such as that shown in FIG. 3. Here δ(x) is the central tag position with J tags on either side of the center. Because a finite number of RF pulses are used in the tag generation pulse, the tag pattern will be periodic. The function in Equation 1 is non-periodic, so it has a continuous Fourier spectrum, however, its periodic extension can be represented by a discrete Fourier series. See Powers, D. L., Boundary Value Problems, Academic Press, Inc. Orlando. 30-42.1979. If the width of the desired pattern f(x) is 2L, the periodic extension can be written
where −L<x≦L. The resulting Fourier series coefficients for {tilde over (f)}(x) are: where a0 is the amplitude of the first RF pulse, xj is the position of an individual tag with respect to the center of the tagging pattern, and L is the length of one side of the symmetric tagging pattern. The Fourier series for {tilde over (f)}(x) can be written: The sine terms do not appear because {tilde over (f)}(x) is an even function. The coefficients an are the relative amplitudes used in the RF pulse train. The periodic extension of the tagging pattern into regions of the field of view outside the heart does not have a detrimental effect on the measurement of myocardial motion. An example RF pulse train for producing variable separation tagging is shown in FIG. 4(a). The algorithm to generate the RF amplitudes in the pulse train was the following: the explicit tag positions, xj, were input by the user, and the Fourier series coefficients were calculated using Equation 3. The first 25 coefficients were selected as the RF pulse amplitudes and the pulse train was created by symmetrically repeating the 25 pulses about the center of the pulse train, effectively doubling the applied power. A Hanning window with an alpha of 0.3 was applied to the resulting waveform to reduce RF truncation artifacts in the tagging pattern. Excitation k-space is traversed by playing a gradient "blip," i.e., a short gradient pulse, between each hard RF pulse. After the tagging sequence, all transverse magnetization is spoiled. As with SPAMM (Axel et al., Heart Wall Motion: Improved Method of Spatial Modulation of Magnetization for MR Imaging, Radiology 172(2):349-360; 1989) and DANTE (Mosher et al., A DANTE Tagging Sequence for the Evaluation of Translational Sample Motion, Magn Reson Med 15(2):334-339; 1990), the gradient direction is normal to the tag planes. Bloch equation simulations were used to calculate the tagging pattern MZ(x) produced by the pulse sequence in FIG. 4(a). This is shown in FIG. 4(b). FIG. 5(a) shows the pattern in a phantom using 40 pulses. FIG. 5(b) shows an associated profile through this image. These tags are of comparable quality to those generated with constant tag separation. FIGS. 6(a)-(c) shows a comparison of the variable separation tagging pattern with standard parallel tags in the same heart shown in FIGS. 2(a)-(e). The variable separation tagging pulse train was 28 ms and created a pattern with a 5 pixel tag separation between the center tag and its closest neighbors, 4.3 pixel separation for the next tag, and a 3 pixel separation for the remaining tags. Compared with a constant tag separation of 5 pixels, 6 additional tags are obtained across the heart at the mid short axis plane using the variable separation tagging pattern. The standard image with 5 pixel tag separation does not sample the radial thickening with high spatial resolution. The standard image with 3 pixel tag separation does not resolve the individual tags in the circumferential shortening region. With the variable separation tagging pattern, both of these regions are sampled well, and the tags remain visible throughout systole. The blood as shown in FIG. 6(a) is white and the blood in FIGS. 6(b) and 6(c) has been saturated and, therefore, is black. The method of the present invention facilitates simultaneous sampling of circumferential shortening and radial thickening with the appropriate spatial resolution using variable separation tag planes. An alternate approach to increasing the spatial resolution of the tagging pattern is to interleave two acquisitions with the tagging pattern shifted by ˝ tag separation on the second acquisition. There are two problems with this approach: the imaging time is increased by a factor of two, and the shifted acquisitions must occur in the same breath-hold to ensure an even sampling. A better use of the time required for the "second" acquisition in the same breath-hold is to obtain the orthogonal displacement information by rotating both the tagging pattern and the readout gradient 90 degrees. See McVeigh et al., Cardiac Tagging With Breath-Hold Cine MRI, Magn Reson Med 28(2):318-327 (1992) and McVeigh, E. R., MRI of Myocardial Function: Motion Tracking Techniques, Magn. Reson. Imag. 14(2):137-150 (1996). Quantitative MR cardiac stress testing with tagging requires very rapid data acquisition due to the limitations on the total time of dobutamine infusion. For each dobutamine infusion rate (stress level), the tagging data should be obtained within 3-4 minutes. Therefore, variable separation taggings will be preferable to shifted tags under these time constraints. In addition, the flexibility of the variable separation tagging sequence makes it tunable to the dobutamine stressed heart in which myocardial shortening becomes enhanced and the disparity between circumferential shortening and radial thickening becomes greater. The 20-30 ms time involved in generating variable separation taggings in their present form is longer than that required for generating a constant separation tagging pattern. FIG. 4(a) shows several RF pulses that have very low or even zero amplitude. The length of the variable separation tagging pulse train could be reduced in length by removing the low amplitude pulses and combining adjacent gradient pulses into a single pulse. This is equivalent to choosing only terms in Equation 3 that make a significant contribution to the tag pattern function f(x). In addition, the sequence is presently implemented on a "standard" gradient system with a maximum gradient slew rate of 16.7 T/m/sec. Once this sequence is implemented on the enhanced gradient system with 170 T/m/sec slew rate, the 28 ms variable separation tagging pulse shown in FIG. 4. can be performed in 16.3 ms. The combination of a reduction in the number of RF pulses and increased slew rate should bring this sequence below 10 ms making it comparable to the uniform separation tagging sequences presently used. The variable separation parallel plane tagging of the present invention provides high resolution images of myocardial motion. It also provides high resolution measurements of radial thickening and circumferential shortening simultaneously. While for simplicity of disclosure specific reference has been made herein to heart movement, such as myocardial motion, the invention is not so limited. The invention may be employed in the measurement of inhomogeneous motion fields. The variable spacing of the MR tagging pattern can readily be adjusted as needed on a tag-to-tag basis. The invention may be employed readily, for example, on blood vessels, organs and muscles other than the myocardium. Whereas particular embodiments of the invention have been described herein for purposes of illustration, it will be evident to those skilled in the art that numerous variations of the details may be made without departing from the invention as defined in the appended claims.

Lady Gaga's Performance Kills, Literally
Not unlike Madonna and her infamous 'Like a Virgin' VMA show from two and a half decades ago, Gaga sang, danced and passionately flung herself about the stage. Channeling her cabaret and theater background, Gaga effectively used the same 'death by love' concept from the 'Paparazzi' video in the performance.
Showing off real vocal skill and putting on quite the graphic spectacle, the act culminated in Gaga hanging from the ceiling and smeared in fake blood. Now that's theatrics.
Gaga's had been hyped up by blogger Perez Hilton, who had described her performance as "next-level." Gaga herself had said, " I can't wait to go to the awards show and hopefully kick some ass."

Call it trashy if you will, but shes making more money then all of you, and has way more talent then any of you people on here. And by the way, if you guys hate her, then why are you even watching her video? I dont go around looking for miley cyrus videos just so i can comment on how horrible they are. And for those of you that are a little thick, the point of her song is that fame kills. Hence the blood and the frantic sound in her voice towards the end :]

Porvoo Jazz Festival
Porvoo Festivals Finland Festivals Festivals in September Music - Jazz Porvoo Jazz Festival WebsitePorvoo Jazz Festival on TwitterPorvoo Jazz Festival
By: © Paul Dodson 2015If you find yourself at a loose end in Helsinki come mid-September, make your way east young man and take in some sublime sounds at the Porvoo Jazz Fest.
As Finland's second oldest city, Porvoo is a wonderful historic destination any old time of the year, but add the melodic musings of some of Finland's finest jazz musicians - and some great international acts to boot - and there's another layer to Porvoo's appeal come September.
For a treat, dress for warmth and jump on board the MS J.L.Runeberg from Helsinki and take in the Southern Finnish archipelago as you enjoy some pre-festival refreshments on board this beauty that's been plying these waters since 1912.
For those looking for a speedier, less scenic option, free buses will depart Helsinki for the festival and return after the last sax has hit its case.
For more information check out the Porvoo Jazz Festival website.

Analysis of Ecological Quality of the Environment and Influencing Factors in China during 2005–2010
Received: 5 December 2013 / Revised: 21 January 2014 / Accepted: 23 January 2014 / Published: 30 January 2014

Abstract: Since the twentieth century, China has been facing various kinds of environmental problems. It is necessary to evaluate and analyze the ecological status of the environment over China, which is of great importance for environmental protection measures. In this article, an Eco-environmental Quality Index (EQI) model is established using national remote sensing land-use data, NDVI data from MODIS and other statistical data. The model is used to evaluate the ecological status over China during 2005, 2008 and 2010, and spatial and temporal variations in EQI are analyzed during the period 2005–2010. We also discuss important factors affecting ecological quality, with special emphasis on meteorological conditions (including rainfall and sunshine duration) and anthropogenic factors (including normalized population and gross domestic product densities). The results show that, EQIs in northwestern China are generally lower than those in the southeast of the country, presenting a ladder-like distribution. There is significant correlation between EQI, rainfall and sunshine duration. Population density and GDP also have some relation to EQI. On the whole, the environmental quality results showed little variation during 2005–2010, with national average EQIs of 54.86, 55.07 and 54.43 in 2005, 2008 and 2010, respectively. During 2005–2010, differences in EQI were observed at the local level, but those at the provincial level were small.

The UCLA weather forecast is usually updated once a day by noon (work days only). A second update may follow before 4 PM as conditions warrant.
The purpose of the forecast is to give persons working or living around campus an idea of what to expect weather-wise. If noteworthy weather exists outside of the campus region, it will be noted in the Detailed Forecast. Most media forecasts, whose sources are either the National Weather Service or private forecasting companies, predict the weather around downtown L.A., but the weather can vary greatly between downtown and Westwood.

Baghdad Police Station Bombed
A car bomb exploded outside the main police station in Baghdad this morning injuring at least 15 people. The BBC reports that Baghdad's U.S.-appointed police chief Hassan Ali was the likely target of the bomb. It was the first major bombing since Friday when between 80 and 120 people were killed after a car bomb exploded outside the Tomb of Ali in Najaf.
Hundreds of Thousands of Shiites Mourn Cleric's Assassination
Throughout the weekend hundreds of thousands of Shiites traveled to the holy city of Najaf to mourn the death of their spiritual leader Ayatollah Muhammad Baqr al-Hakim who died in the blast.
Al-Hakin headed the Iranian-backed Supreme Council for the Islamic Revolution in Iraq and had lived in exile in Iran for over 20 years before returning after the fall of Baghdad. He was viewed as a moderate by the U.S.
Iraqi Quits Council To Protest Lack of U.S. Security
Following the bombing one member of the Iraqi Governing Council, Mohammed Bahr al-Uloum, suspended his membership to protest the lack of security in Iraq.
Ayatollah Hakim's brother, Abdul Aziz al-Hakim, who is also on the governing council, said the U.S. military is at fault for failing to provide security.
He said "These troops are ultimately responsible for achieving security and stability. They are ultimately responsible for the innocent blood which is being shed every day in Najaf, Baghdad, Basra, Mosul and all over Iraq."
25-Member Iraqi Cabinet Formed
Meanwhile the Iraqi Governing Council yesterday appointed a 25-member cabinet to oversee foreign affairs, finance, internal security and oil.
TV Networks Join Forces to Lobby Congress Over Media Rules
The owners of the television networks CBS, NBC and Fox have joined efforts in a high profile lobbying effort to persuade Congress not to overturn the media ownership regulations recently approved by the Federal Communications Commission.
According to the Wall Street Journal the networks are attempting to send the message to Washington that voters don't care who owns their local television station and that voters oppose governments regulation.
The campaign is centered around the slogan, "America Says: Don't Get Between Me And My TV." The networks are running ads this week in the Washington-based papers, The Hill and Roll Call, which are primarily read by Senators, House representatives and their staffs.
During the run-up to the FCC vote, more than two million letters, emails and faxes were sent to the FCC. Almost all of them opposed the weakening of the nation's media ownership regulations.
EPA Quietly OKs Sale of PCB-Contaminated Sites
USA Today is reporting that the Bush administration has quietly overturned a 25-year-old ban on the sale of polluted property contaminated with PCBs. The EPA determined that the ban was "an unnecessary barrier to redevelopment (and) may actually delay the clean-up of contaminated properties."
USA Today reports that the decision is already in effect but has yet to be made public. The EPA never allowed for public comment on the rule change. The agency said it wasn't needed because the lifting of the band was simply a "new interpretation" of existing law.
Opponents of the change fear, PCB-contaminated soil may now be more easily spread to other properties.
EPA Shifts Millions Away From Energy Star Budget
Environmentalists are also criticizing the Environmental Protection Agency for quietly shifting millions of dollars from the energy conservation program called "Energy Star." The under-funded program helps residents conserve energy and lessen the load on the nation's electrical grid.
Feds Ask Supreme Court To Overturn Calif. Clean Air Law
On Friday, the Bush administration filed paperwork urging the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn a California clean air law that attempts to cut pollution from buses, taxis and other vehicles. The law has resulted in municipalities buying vehicles that burn natural gas and other alternative fuels. The laws have been opposed by industry groups including the Western States Petroleum Association
High Percentage of WTC Workers Continue To Suffer Ailments
New studies shows that a high percentage of cleanup and rescue workers who worked at the World Trade Center following Sept. 11 continue to face physical and health problems. This according to officials at the Mount Sinai Medical Center.
Nearly 50 percent of the workers report they still suffer from problems such as nasal congestion, hoarseness, headaches and throat irritation. Another 30 percent suffer pulmonary problems, including shortness of breath, persistent cough and wheezing. In addition nearly one in five of the workers have been diagnosed with post traumatic stress disorder.
U.S. Commission on Civil Rights Calls For Lynching Inquiry
The U.S. Commission on Civil Rights is asking the Justice Department to fully investigate the possible lynching of an African-American man in Florida. The Commission has criticized the state of Florida for automatically treating the death of Feraris ``Ray'' Golden as a suicide. At the time of his death in May, Golden was dating the daughter of a white police officer.
Al Jazeera Launches English-language Website
The Arabic satellite television channel Al Jazeera has officially launched its English language website at the address English.aljazeera.net. During the invasion of Iraq, the network attempted to launch a scaled down English language site but the webpage was often inaccessible due to attacks by hackers.
Among the first stories on the website, Al Jazeera is reporting that nearly 40,000 of the U.S. military's active troops are not US citizens. British MP George Galloway, accused the US of using so-called "green card" troops as cannon fodder.
Washington Post: 1,100 U.S. Soldiers Seriously Injured
Since the invasion of Iraq began, the U.S. military has been forced to evacuate over 1,100 U.S. soldiers from Iraq after they were seriously wounded in action. Twice as many soldiers have now been injured during the occupation and invasion as during the Persian Gulf War. The Washington Post reports that most injuries go unreported because U.S. Central Command has stopped issuing press releases for incidents where no troops died.
Sabotage of Northern Oil Pipeline Delays Oil Sales
The Financial Times is reporting that sabotage has nearly crippled the chance Iraq will be able to pump oil this year from the country's northern pipeline. The pipeline was bombed this weekend for the fourth time in the past month. The U.S. had originally hoped to pay for the reconstruction of Iraq using oil revenue. Now the Bush administration is expected to go back to Congress to seek more money. Congress's orginal allocation of $79 billion has nearly run out.
The Washington Post is also reporting today that the Bush administration is having great difficulty securing pledges of money from other countries to help rebuild Iraq.
Two U.S. Soldiers Die as Taliban Fighting Intensifies
In some of the most fierce fighting in months in Afghanistan, two U.S. soldiers were killed Sunday during a battle with reformed units of the Taliban. The New York Times reports that the Taliban has been able to reform in southern and eastern Afghanistan in part due to new volunteers from Pakistan.
Talks Continue Over Vivendi-NBC Merger
Negotiations are continuing between media giant Vivendi and the General Electric-owned TV network NBC over the sale of the French company's US entertainment business. Vivendi owns the Hollywood movie studio Universal Pictures as well as the USA and Sci Fi cable networks
Israel Warns Of Gaza Invasion As Assassinations Continue
Israeli forces yesterday fired missiles into the Gaza Strip killing a member of Hamas and injuring 25 other people. According to the Financial Times, Israel has now assassinated 11 Palestinian militants over the last two weeks in Gaza. At least three Palestinian bystanders have also been killed and scores have been injured. Israeli Defense Minister Shaul Mofaz yesterday promised "to fight to the bitter end" against Hamas and threatened to launch a ground assault in Gaza. Meanwhile the Wall Street Journal reports that Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat and his prime minister, Mahmoud Abbas are no longer on speaking terms.
In other related news, a new government report has concluded that Israel used excessive force three years ago when it shot dead 13 Israeli Arab citizens during the opening days of the Palestinian intifada. The report also concluded that the Israeli police attempted to cover up their activities and treated Israeli Arab citizens as their "enemies."
Voting Machine Head Promises to Help "Deliver" Votes for Bush
The Cleveland Plain Dealer is reporting that the head of the electronic voting company Diebold is also a top fundraiser for President Bush's re-election. In a recent fund-raising letter Diebold's chief executive Walden O'Dell said he is "committed to helping Ohio deliver its electoral votes to the president next year." Diebold is one of three companies vying to run Ohio's electronic voting system in time for the 2004 election.

Great service
Equipment had right running light not operating it would work sometimes most when I kicked it and seemed it wouldn't work in the dark when I needed it the most ask for a credit for emergency lights I purchased............... given the typical U-Haul run around
Make sure customer sees how chains are connected and why.
Second time in few mths..good deal and experience...
Excellent, Professional service. Will definitely use again when the need arises.
Nothing everything was great .
Keep all the employees at this location. They were amazing!!
make sure the box trailers are cleaned out plastic bottle left behind and some trash
Everything was great. Quick and easy.
Awesome crew!
Facility, staff, and rented van was great ... did the job perfectly! Thanks.
No suggestions, everything went well. I never utilized a service like this before and it was a very positive experience.
Amy , Daniel and Henry were once again proven assets to your company . Amy and the staff always makes my experience pleasant
Great people great service.
My pick up location changed because equipment was not available at the original location I was given. Person renting my trailer before I picked it up was not aware the location of his drop-off was two hours away. Unorganized and frustrating but all employees were helpful and accommodating.
Long wait to return the next day - otherwise, no problems
The equip I booked was not available so I had to book from Cinnaminson, which ended up costing me another $30 in mileage. Second time in a row that I was billed for a Uhaul error.
Staff was friendly and helpful. Great job.
Well maintained units. Staff is great!
U-Haul Moving & Storage of Cinnaminson location was very helpful and curtious. My recent reservation was schduled for a diffrent location at 3609 Route 38 in Mount Laurel, NJ 08054, which is closer to where I was needing the Utility Trailer. After receving a phone call to confirm my reservation for the Mount Laurel location and then arriving at the Mount Laurel location, I was told they moved my reservation to the U-Haul Moving & Storage of Cinnaminson which wasn't a big deal if they would have contacted me to inform me of the diffrent location, but no one called and I had to waste more of my time to travel to a further location. If anything I would highly reccommend the U-Haul Moving & Storage of Cinnaminson, but stay clear of the Uhaul located at 3609 Route 38 Mount Laurel, NJ 08054.
I am an experienced mover, having moved 6 times in the past 10 years. This was the WORST MOVE EVER. After speaking to SEVEN U-haul reps (over the course 6 phone calls) over the phone on 12/17, I finally secured a "reservation" NOT at my "preferred" location. I'm sure if you look into my reservation #28431754, which I made online on 12/2/14, you will see that I reserved it at the Cinnaminson NJ location, where I have rented 2 10 x 10 side by side units for the past 28 months. My confirmation email reads as follows: "You are scheduled to pickup your equipment at U-Haul Moving & Storage of Cinnaminson on Saturday, December 13, 2014 at 7:00 AM." NOWHERE IN THAT EMAIL OR ONLINE DID IT SAY THIS IS MY "PREFERRED" LOCATION!!!! Yet, another location callled me on 12/10 to let me know that they don't open til 8, so I could not pick the truck up until 8, not at 7 as I had reserved it. We were both confused until we realized that U-haul switched my reservation to that location without informing me! An email and text followed with the same info about switching my pick up location to Edgewater Park. All of the 7 people I spoke to in the 6 phone calls that followed, as well as the site manager of Cinnaminson, Amy, in a phone call on 12/12, informed me quite snippily that I did NOT have a "reservation" at ANY location, only a "preference" to pick up at that location, yet EVERY PIECE OF CORRESPONDENCE I HAVE SHOWS A RESERVATION NUMBER AND PICK UP LOCATION AS CINNAMINSON, NJ AND MAKES NO REFERENCE TO IT ONLY BEING A PREFERENCE!!!! Furthermore, they "upgraded" me to a bigger truck (24 to 26) which I did not want, as I was using a neighbor's very small driveway to park it in, and after measuring it, I knew I could only fit the 24' without overhanging the one-way street I live on and blocking traffic. Where was I going to park this 26' foot truck I was stuck with? There was no other option, that 26' truck is all they had available. The rep at Willing RV (U-haul p/u) in Edgewater Park gave me a corporate number to call. They gave me a regional number to call. That person accidentally hung up on me. I called corporate back out of desperation, and regional called back on my cell. It was discovered that the truck I had "reserved" at Cinnaminson U-haul was being serviced and was unavailable, and the 26' truck in Edgewater Park was the only truck AT ALL available anywhere in NJ within an hour and a half drive. After hearing this, and telling the rep my story, a supervisor got on the phone, and the final result was a $20 discount and discounted mileage rate of .69 cents. I asked for my rental fee of $39.99 to be credited completely (only an extra $20) for the inconvencience of losing an hour and a half of time with my paid movers on moving day, due to the later opening time and extra half hour drive to get back to the storage units in Cinnaminson, and he emphatically told me he could not do that. I pay U-haul over $220/month and you couldn't credit me $2
The guys there helped hook up the trailer, I was able to drop it off at any time after using it without an extra charge, and even better, they noticed our truck's tires were low after hooking up the trailer and filled it for us on our way out!
Overall well maintained and good customer service.
Richard the sales rep was very professional. Nice service with a smile.
Great service!!

In order to compete in the economy of the 21st century, businesses need to learn to collaborate beyond their borders
Are customers really at the centre of your business model?
65% of senior executives are disappointed in their ability to stimulate innovation. Why?
If you are a business owner, business leader, manager or just someone who cares about the work they are doing, stop and ask yourself: are we innovating or are we just waiting to die?
An innovative culture is not the goal we should be aiming for - it's an outcome of good projects
Does your business pay people to succeed, or does it pay them to not fail? Do you know the difference?
Does your organisation have a defined innovation process? Don't leave innovation to chance because if you do it is more likely your organisational culture will act against innovation, rather than in support of it
In the modern economy with constantly evolving trends, technologies and ideas the companies that don't innovate will be overtaken. Innovation is no longer the domain of R&D, new product development or IT, but instead a core deliverable of every business unit and the foundation of success and profit.

No superstars on the pitching staff of today's Birthday Team, but that's a pretty reasonable set of arms.

Not sure if you're tracking these as you do them but do you remember what day has the best team so far?

Posted: December 19, 2012 at 11:01 AM (#4328496)
As noted at THT, today marks 30 years since the signing of a player on the HoF ballot. Can you figure out which one before clicking on the link?
4. Willie Horton Hears The Who (Dan Lee)
Posted: December 19, 2012 at 01:25 PM (#4328675)By signing, I mean his initial pro contract, not a mid-career free agent signing. Not sure if you're tracking these as you do them but do you remember what day has the best team so far?I don't off the top of my head. November 26 and April 2 are memorably good, though. February 6 has a guy (G.H. Ruth) who's both a good ace starter and a reasonably decent hitter. Several Dugout regulars and I are compiling 25-man rosters for all 365 days, which will be used to play a Birthday League. There's no particular team I expect to win it all.
1982 ... my guess is Riger Cemens.

I'd guess Edgar or Sammy, simply because they wouldn't have been drafted.
8. Crispix reaches boiling point with lackluster play
Posted: December 19, 2012 at 02:41 PM (#4328787)Most drafted players back then would have signed before late December, so it would be someone signed as a teenager from one of the islands. Sammy would have been pretty young (16?) and Edgar would have been about right (18?). I'm going to guess Sammy Sosa.
Clemens was a big college star with a gigantic ego, I would imagine he held out as long as possible before the signing deadline. Of course I don't know what the deadline was back then, or indeed what it is now.
Posted: December 19, 2012 at 02:46 PM (#4328795)
I believe Clemens was drafted in 1983.
10. Walt Davis
Posted: December 19, 2012 at 03:47 PM (#4328859)
The signing deadline back then was the next draft and you just went back into the pool. See JD Drew and a handful of others. The signing deadline is a fairly recent invention (partly due to JD Drew). It got moved up quite aggressively in the last CBA I think.
11. Dag Nabbit is a cornucopia of errors
Posted: December 19, 2012 at 05:16 PM (#4328939)It was pretty common for guys to not sign until 6 months or so later -- e.g. Prior. Sometimes this was due to contentious negotiations but it seemed to happen often with pitchers suggesting it was just a way to give their arm time to rest without starting the minor-league service clock. I suppose it also made sense if the player was going to get a major-league contract. 12. Dewey, Soupuss Not Doomed to Succeed Posted: December 19, 2012 at 05:26 PM (#4328950)
Kendrys Morales to Seattle for Jason Vargas.
13. RoyalsRetro (AG#1F)
Posted: December 19, 2012 at 05:30 PM (#4328956)
I don't get the need to get a sixth starter in return for Morales, but overall it seems like a fair swap.
14. Crispix reaches boiling point with lackluster play
Posted: December 19, 2012 at 05:33 PM (#4328960)
Hey, Vargas may have been a sixth starter on the Angels, but now that he's on the Mariners ... oh wait.
Morales instantly becomes the Mariners' best hitter by a huge margin. Except of course John Jaso. You must be Registered and Logged In to post comments. |

text: 2007 Pacific Northwest Regional Winners:RealtimeRealtime has been together since March of 2003, when John Newell arrived in Canada and mutual friends helped bring the group together. Since then it's been a musical whirlwind of activity, with three recordings, hundreds of shows and a world championship and a whole lot of fun under their belt.In 2008, Doug Broersma became the official lead singer, when John retired. Realtime became the 2005 International Quartet Champions of the Barbershop Harmony Society in Salt Lake City. So having reached the pinnacle of the barbershop contest world, they have sung in their last contest, and received their final score in the barbershop genre. 2007 Pacific Northwest Regional: Second PlaceV-ChordsV-Chords is a high-energy sextet based in Portland, Oregon. Established as a four-man group in early 2006, the ensemble increased its membership to five several months later and began performing at parties, outdoor summer festivals, and weddings. Recently V-Chords added a sixth voice in order to expand their hamonic textures to the rich, full sound they bring you today. V-Chords takes pride in the wide breadth of their musical offering - from pop/rock to jazz to country to funk to doo-wop - and is very excited to perform in the 2007 NW Harmony Sweepstakes competition. 2007 Pacific Northwest Regional: Third PlaceBaudboysBack around 1990, a couple of the founding members of the coed Microtones decided that they wanted to form a men's a cappella group at Microsoft so that they could sing the charts from their college groups. The original quartet consisted John Rae-Grant, bass and musical director, Bill Pope, baritone, Bob Gunderson, 2nd tenor, and David Olsen, 1st tenor. True to their profession, the group's chosen name, The Baudboys, referred to the method by which modem speeds were rated. The group performed only a few times in its first years of existence, doing lunch time gigs on the Microsoft campus. As members left Microsoft over the years, they would also leave the Baudboys, prompting natural turnover in the membership. During the 1990's, the group expanded it's membership, aiming to have two full quartets within the group. Since that time, the group has remained at 7-9 members, but the expanded membership has allowed the group to sing more complex arrangements than the 4-part charts that the founders envisioned. |
