Blood. Malpractice suits. Nearly a decade of book leanrnin'. Most of us don't have what it takes to brave Med school, much less dig sharp instruments into our fellow man. So when last year's Trauma Center hit the Wii, we finally learned for ourselves... how to save a life. Okay, it's just a game, but damned if slicing incisions, stitching wounds, and firing lasers at polyps didn't make for one of the most fun, and perfectly suited, experiences for Nintendo's new console.

About Skylar Grey
Skyler Grey began singing as a backup for children's recording artist Ken Lonnquist at the age of 5. She recorded three albums and toured the midwest up until she was 15 years old. In 2003, she signed as Holly Brook to Machine Shop Recordings, and sang on single "Where'd You Go," by Fort Minor. She went on to record her first solo album, "Like Blood Like Honey," in 2006.She had a brief hiatus from the music industry but returned as Skylar Grey and signed with producer, Alex Da Kid. This directly led to her writing portions of the single, "Love The Way You Lie," by Eminem and Rihanna, and singing the chorus of "Coming Home," by Diddy- Dirty Money. Since that time, she's received multiple offers and released the album "Don't Look Down" on July 5th, 2013.

In case you didn't catch it, Kentucky Fried Chicken is offering a $20,000 scholarship to a high school senior to send a tweet with the hashtag #KFCScholar about how they exemplify the Col's commitment to education, or something. From their release:
"KFC is asking college hopefuls to tweet why they exemplify Colonel Sanders' commitment to education and enriching their communities, and why they are deserving of a college scholarship."
For those of us unable to apply, you can now follow the action on Slurp140!
Do you think this latest marketing promotion will succeed?
Will this promo / others like it be more successful than traditional TV advertising or product placement?
As better writers than I have already turned out excellent work on the tech policy discussion sponsored by Politico's @morningtech writers and Qualcomm, I wanted to draw some attention to what Politico, as a news organization has been doing over the last several months as compared to DC's other news outlets. (By news outlets, I mean published in print and online.) While newspapers have come a long way since our 2008 report on the Use of the Internet by America's Newspapers, Politico stands out in several important regards.
1. Organizing off-line events to generate unique content and drive traffic
In the last three weeks Politico has organized two events with great speakers that attracted a significant amount of earned media. The October 25th "Political Campaigns and Social Media" panel discussion hosted at GWU was covered live by CSPAN and attended by a capacity crowd. Likewise today's "#NextinTech" event was attended by a capacity crowd and featured discussions with US CTO Aneesh Chopra, U.S. Senators @MarkWarner and @JohnEnsign, Representatives @AnnaEshoo, ITIF's Rob Atkinson, Google's Pablo Chavez and Dell's Frank Muehleman. So far it has generated at least 715 tweets by 301 influential people and several dozen high impact blog postings. (Not to mention an unknown amount of potential new subscribers for Politico Pro.)
2. Making their reporters available off-line
Outside of online QA sessions and their own book signings, few reporters from other news organizations make public appearances. (Local TV station and online newspaper TBD, which is also a subsidiary of Allbritton Communications being a notable exception.) I intend to do additional research to document this, but from a brief survey of colleagues in the know, similar efforts by other outlets are hard to find. For instance, the Washington Post's website lists nothing in the way of future or past events. There are just certain things you will hear from reporters in person that you won't online, such as that Politico's Ben Smith is often frustrated by the trolling and off-topic comments on his blog. Things like this are objectively true, yet not something really worth him writing or complaining about.
Since first learning of Facebook's Project Titan, otherwise rumored to be a "Gmail Killer" last Thursday, I launched a custom instance of Slurp14 0 to track the buzz. With the official announcement of Facebook's Project Titan, to begin at 1:00pm EST, the 'before' results are presented for your enjoyment: http://www.slurp140.com/titan
With 30 minutes until launch: 8,089 total tweets by 7,533 people that referenced either the URL of the 11/11 TechCrunch article or one of the following search terms: [Project Titan" OR #projecttitan OR Gmail Killer, Facebook AND email]
A couple early points:
Although a few spammers have infiltrated the leaderboard, nobody has really sent more than 1-5 tweets about it pre-launch. Content wise, most tweets are either informative or quick reaction having to do with the competitive environment and whether or not people will actually use this new feature.
Of course, it will be interesting to see if the close ratio between the total number of tweets and the number of people tweeting h o lds.
From viewing the stream on and off, it appears that Facebook has definitely sparked some interest, but the jury is most definitely still out.
For a comprehensive look and analysis of the results check out our Impact Watch blog later this afternoon.

Alcohol Inks: Puddle Background
By: Marti Wills for Pezadoodle Designs
Here's another background idea to use with scrapbooking and card making. This alcohol ink technique from Marti Wills creates a lovely puddle background that you can use to make your embossed shapes pop!
- Glossy Cardstock.
- Alcohol Ink- 2-3 coordinating colors.
- Metallic Mixative
- Blending Solution
- Non-Stick Craft Mat
- Drop several drops of each alcohol ink on to your craft mat – they should be near each other but not on top of each other.
- Add 2-3 drops of metallic mixative.
- Add 3-5 drops of Blending Solution.
- Lay glossy cardstock face down in the puddle and twist slightly so there is one solid puddle.
- Grab one corner and lift – set aside to dry.
- This puddle can be used for more than one piece of cardstock. Add more blending solution if inks begin to dry or to make colors lighter.

Just got back from the Dr who did all the surgery on my neck cancer
I got scoped and checked from stem to stern and everything is doing fine. the right side of my neck is still numb but he said that could take up to 18 months to get the feeling back and not all of it will come back so I guess we wait and see. The doc still wants me to do the radition thing just to be on the safe side but as long as everything stays as is I am going to pass, I met a guy at the VA last week who had the same cancer I had and he did chemo and radition and the radition just burned him up he will never eat except thru a tube and has no salivia glands and has to take meds just to keep his mouth moist he said if he had known the outcome he would just have taken his chances.

Airdrieonians V Forfar at Excelsior Stadium : Match Preview
Airdrieonians V Forfar - view commentary, squad, and statistics of the game live.
O'Neill banned for Aidrie
Airdrie will be missing Chris O'Neill for the home game with Forfar.
O'Neill is suspended after he was dismissed against Arbroath last weekend.
Jim Lister, who was absent at Gayfield as his daughter was born earlier in the day, is available.
But an ankle injury keeps Nathan Blockley out with John Boyle remaining unavailable following knee surgery and David Sinclair facing a fitness test.
Manager Jimmy Boyle said: "We need to be a better team going forward. I am looking for us to take the game to teams more.
"If we can do that against Forfar then we can win."
Former Dundee winger Jamie McCluskey is in line for a start for Forfae as a trialist as manager Dick Campbell makes changes following last Saturday's 2-1 defeat from Stranraer.
A groin injury keeps skipper Stuart Malcolm absent with Derek Soutar (shoulder) and Keith Gibson (knee) both ruled out as well.
Campbell said: "Last week's performance was really disappointing and what made it worse is that it came just a week after a terrific display when we beat Dunfermline 4-0. I will make changes until we get the consistency that we need.
"Airdrie always make it tough but I am looking for much better from my side."

After one of the quietest debut seasons, Happy Endings still somehow ended up with a second and good thing too, because now it seems like the sitcom is on quite a roll. ABC made the right choice staying with the young and promising show and just last week gave it a full sophomore season, which means plenty of time to hang out in Chicago with the funny six-some. The good news continues as ABC has also lined up an awesome guest star to play a love interest for one lucky member of the group.
By far the best offering, however, is a reunion of sorts for the beloved Peanuts gang. They've grown up and filled out, but they're still giving Charlie Brown a hard time. And it turns out, you can only pull that fucking football trick so many times before a person snaps.
Every now and then it's important to take a break from the intense competition of the TV news reporting world and take a step back to just enjoy a funny, television related video. It doesn't hurt that said funny video, by the geniuses over at Funny or Die, contains a few of TV's brightest young talents in a segment called 'Child Star Psychologist' starring Mad Men's Draper daughter Kiernan Shipka.

Dr. Emily Levine is a veterinarian who specializes in behavior problems at Animal Emergency & Referral Associates in Fairfield NJ and she will be blogging about pet behavior topics. www.animalerc.com
Why The Way We Teach Cue Words ( a.k.a. commands) Is So Important
Many of the dogs that I have the privilege of working with, suffer from anxiety, aggression, compulsive disorder, the inability to focus etc…Often times, part of an overall treatment plan involves teaching the dog cue words or teaching the dog's family members how to give the cue word so the dog understands what is being asked in a way that the dog does not find threatening or anxiety provoking. Cue words are critical in providing our dogs with information on what we would like them to do OR how they should feel about something. It would make no sense at all to use cue words or commands in such a way that actually makes the dog more anxious or aggressive! This is counterproductive and inhumane! This is why an understanding of learning theory is so important. We often see people asking their dog to something in a tone of voice or with body language that scares or intimidates the dog. We often see people who are giving commands in a nice kind way but the techniques they are doing, without realizing it, leads to blocking or overshadowing ( important learning theory terms) which will prevent the dog from learning what we want him to learn, or confuse him because, we the humans, think we are teaching the dog one thing but he is actually learning something else! For example we think we are teaching the dog to sit by saying the verbal word sit, but at the exact same time we hold up a treat. We are not teaching the dog in a manner that is clear and concise and he may not be learning the verbal word to sit YET we think the dog does understand the word "sit". Then what happens when we ask them to sit with just a verbal cue and they don't do it? We get mad! How unfair is this to the dog??? Can you imagine trying to work with a dog who has any behavioral issues when the two species are unable to communicate effectively? Once we have established a line of communication between the species that is clear and not anxiety/fear provoking, we can then begin the real behavior modifications that are often necessary to deal with aggression and anxiety.
New Great Blog by Veterinary Behaviorists
Please read the blog that my colleagues and I are doing. You will get great information about various behavioral topics. Pay particular attention to the post by Dr. Lore Haug on the Truth About Positive Reinforcement Training. It is imperative that veterinarians and dog owners become as educated as possible on training techniques so we can stop harming our canine companions in the name of so called "training".
Socialization: When To Do It And When Not To Do It
Most new dog owners have heard that they should socialize their puppy. The idea is simple. Bring your puppy everywhere you go so he or she gets used to different people, sounds, sights etc… Seems reasonable right? Well, like with most things in life, there is more than meets the eye here. There are several factors to consider when socializing a puppy or being instructed to socialize a dog with behavior problems to ensure we are helping and not hurting our canine companions.
Many people have heard of sensitive periods (formerly known as critical periods) in dogs. Sensitive periods are time frames in animals' lives when experiences, or lack thereof, with certain stimuli (e.g. different people, animals, sounds etc.) can have a large effect on later behavior. One of these sensitive periods is called the socialization period. In dogs, this occurs roughly between 4-14 weeks of age. During this age range, puppies are learning about their environment (i.e. what is safe and good.) This is the reason people are encouraged to take their puppies everywhere with them and meet lots of different types of people and dogs. Here are some important details about socialization that every dog owner or pet professional should know:
- Socialization will only have a positive effect if the socialization experience is positive. If you expose a puppy to people who interact with the him/her incorrectly, or introduce a puppy to dogs who are aggressive to other dogs, you will likely be teaching the puppy that people and dogs are scary and dangerous. This is in fact the opposite of what we want socialization to achieve! A dog owner should strive to make socialization positive for a puppy. Have people toss treats, pet appropriately, allow close interactions with other dogs who have good social skills or at least are not aggressive to other dogs, and use trainers who do not use physical punishment as a form of training. When it comes to loud sounds in the environment such as storms or fireworks, or traffic noises, associate them with something positive such as a playing with a toy or giving a treat or attention.
Take away: Socializing a puppy requires positive experiences when introduced to new stimuli AND the avoidance of negative experiences.
- Some puppies and young dogs, for a variety of reasons, may show anxiety and or aggression towards many stimuli at a very young age in which case these are not the right candidates to take everywhere and expose them to many stimuli. If you take an already anxious or aggressive puppy/young dog and force them into situations that they find scary you are doing something called "flooding". This is a high risk technique that could make a puppy more anxious or aggressive. For example, if there is puppy who is fearful of people and hides behind the owner when strangers try to pet the puppy and that owner decides to take the puppy into town and have everyone come up to the puppy and pet him even when he is hiding behind the owner, that owner is not helping the puppy feel less anxious if he is still clearly hiding while people are petting. This is a perfect recipe to teach a puppy to be more anxious or teach a puppy they may have to use a different strategy, such as aggression, to get people to stop approaching and petting. (We can not blame the dog because the humans were clearly not listening to the puppy's behaviors that were screaming…"stay away from me, I am scared!"). If you have a puppy /young dog showing anxiety or aggression, there are lots of methods to helping your puppy feel less anxious. Reach out to a qualified professional for help.
- Socialization is not a treatment for dogs with aggressive or anxiety disorders. Too often, owners of aggressive/anxious dogs are being told, "you just need to socialize your dog more." This translates into, "take your dog who lunges at children to a children's park and have him meet the kids.," or " take your dog who is scared of other dogs and take him to a dog park." This advice is fraught with risk for both people and the dogs. There are many options to modify a dog's anxious or aggressive issues but flooding them to the stimuli they are scared of, under the guise of socialization, is not one of them.
Take away: Socialization is not a treatment for dogs with existing behavioral issues.
- Don't stop socializing at 14 weeks. Although the socialization sensitive period ends at approximately 14 weeks, this does not mean you can hang up your dog leash, hang up your treat pouch, and pat yourself on the back for a job well done. It is critical that we continue to reinforce that people, dogs, sounds etc., are good and safe. Think of it like this: Parents of human children do not stop feeding their kids protein after their maximal growth spurts. We know the body at certain developmental times needs more protein to avoid serious health problems; however, this does not mean parents stop feeding protein just because their child has passed that maximal growth period. Along those same lines, doggy parents shouldn't stop reinforcing and teaching their dog that various stimuli are safe even though they have passed that maximal "growth spurt" . Perhaps the best way to look at socialization is to look at it like a behavioral vaccine. You are doing everything you can to protect your dog from developing behavioral problems. Like vaccines, nothing is 100%. Some dogs will develop behavioral problems despite the best attempts of socializing but the odds of developing a behavioral problem increase dramatically, if socialization is not done or is done incorrectly.
Take away: Vaccinate your dog against behavior problems by responsibly socializing your puppy but don't stop your efforts simply because your puppy has outgrown puppyhood.
Why everyone who crates their dog should videotape him/her
I recently met with a family who adopted a dog from a foster situation. The new owners were that the dog did "fine" in a crate. Very shortly after adoption, it became clear that the dog had separation anxiety. The dog's new owner videotaped the dog's behavior in the crate when left alone and were horrified at what they saw. I watched that video and this dog was panting, barking, drooling, pawing at the crate, and getting his head halfway out of the door and pulling it back in ( this is the very scary part).
I wish I could say that this dog's behavior in the crate was unusual but I have seen many videotapes of dogs trying to escape their crate. This is not safe! I know of one dog who died due to asphyxiation as he got his neck stuck in the crate door while trying to get out of the crate. Many other dogs have torn nails, paw pads, and broken teeth, and had injuries on their noses from trying to escape a crate.
Anyone who uses a crate to confine their dog when left alone, dog should videotape their dog to see how their dog behaves. Videotaping is the gold standard and the only way to really know what happens when you are not there. If you are like me and not technically savvy, you may wish to start by doing a search for inexpensive nanny cams. I am hoping that readers of this blog will post ways they videotaped their dog when left alone.
If you do videotape your dog and find he or she is trying to get out, the answer is not to put on padlocks and make it more difficult for the dog to get out. The answer is to understand why the dog is trying to get out and treat that issue!
Think your dog can't be in pain because he walks, jogs, and plays? Think again!
Meet Cairo! This is just one my patients for whom pain played a significant role in his behavior problems. Pain is one of the most common medical conditions that can cause or exacerbate behavior problems (e.g. aggression, anxiety, or house soiling).
Keep in mind that if an animal is in severe pain and holding up a limb and or limping around, I would not be seeing those patients. They would be at their veterinarian's office with clear indicators that there is something physically wrong with their pet. I am often looking for more subtle indicators of pain by watching the pet walk around the room, jogging them, trotting them, and then following up with a physical exam while taking into consideration their behavioral and medical history.
In two recent cases, one for aggression and one for anxiety, both animals did well for the physical exam until I reached a certain muscle (i.e. illiopsoas muscle). When I examined this region directly or indirectly, one animal cried out in pain and the other became so aggressive I could not continue with the exam. Once these animals received proper treatment for a muscle strain/sprain their behavior issues improved considerably.
Pain can be very difficult to assess in other species. Dogs and cats will not always show pain in "obvious" ways. So we should not assume pain isn't a component simply because they still walk, play, go up and down the stairs etc. Most of the patients I diagnose as having an issue causing pain, have been walking, jogging, playing etc…..After all, sometimes WE are in discomfort yet push through with an activity if we are motivated enough to do so. I will walk through my chronic foot pain (i.e. neuromas and plantar fasciitis) to get to a plate full of chocolate! However, if someone were to walk too close to my feet and I feared they might step on them, I might just growl and snap to keep them away!
There are situations where it is simply unethical and inappropriate to delay proper treatment
Is getting your dog on the scale at the veterinarian's office a challange?
For dogs who are hesitant to get on the scale at the veterinary office or to get your dog started off on the right foot so he/she is easy to get onto the scale…implement the following tip:
1. Use an old yoga mat and teach you dog to go to that mat on command to get a treat or to play tug ( whatever your dog likes). Lets assume you use the word cue/command " go to mat"
2. Once he knows the word cue "go to mat" place the mat on different floor types in the house ( wood floors, carpet, linoleum etc….) and practice the command on these floors. If he does well, take the mat outside and practice on grass, cement etc…
3. Set the yoga mat up on some bricks, books, or a somewhat elevated surface so the dog can practice stepping up onto the mat. Give the command, and reward.
4. Take the yoga mat with you to the vet clinic when you DONT have an appointment and practice getting on the scale ( make sure to give him or her the reward he is expecting!)
5. For your next real vet visit, roll up that yoga mat and take it with you and put in on the scale, give the command and reward your dog as the veterinary tech write down the weight.
If you are a veterinarian or anyone who works in a veterinary office, type this up and make a handout and give it to all of your clients!
When should puppies be separated from their litter?
A retrospective study looking at problematic behaviors and the age at which the puppy was taken from the litter, found that puppies taken earlier then 8 weeks displayed more behavioral problems that those who remained with the litter for the whole 8 weeks.
In addition, the authors found that puppies in pet stores exhibited more problematic behaviors than puppies from other sources even when they were kept with their litters for the 8 weeks!
Does this mean puppies should remain with their littermates for 8 weeks? It means that they should remain with their littermates for at least 8 weeks! More studies need to be done to really answer this questions but at this time it seems reasonable that no one should remove a puppy from his or her litter until at least 8 weeks and puppies should not be purchased at pet stores.
Dog warns parents that a babysitter is abusing their child
A couple in South Carolina says they were alerted to a babysitter's abuse by the family dog, according to HLN affiliate WCSC.
Benjamin and Hope Jordan hired 22-year-old Alexis Khan to babysit their 7-month-old son. After a few months, they noticed their dog acting strangely whenever Khan came to the house. They told WCSC that they "started to notice that our dog was very protective of our son when she would come in the door. He was very aggressive towards her."
They decided to record what happened when Khan was alone with their son — and what they found shocked them. They say they heard cursing and the sounds of slapping. They went to the authorities and the police arrested Khan. She later confessed. On Monday, Khan pleaded guilty to assault and battery and was sentenced to up to three years in prison, the station reports.

A Poem for Peter Pan's Sister
Once upon a summer in the hills by the river was a deep green forest where the wild things grew,
There were caves as dark as midnight - there were tangled trees and thickets and a thousand little places where the sky looked through.
Now 'way inside the forest where the path was lost in nothing, and the moss was soft as velvey, dusky, rusky as could be,
where the day was full of darkness and the night ws full of darkness and nobody evr found it - was a big old hollow tree.

Thressa Johnson column: Location of home as uncertain as DL Holiday Inn name
Last weekend, I made my way home for the first time since leaving for college. I know what you must be thinking...
"Way to stick it out, Thressa, you lasted two weeks (not even, actually) before fleeing in fear of eventual assimilation into the Real World!"
First of all, I'd like to say thanks, because I was quite proud of myself, as well.

MEDFORD, Ore. — Medford Police conducted a Pedestrian Safety Enforcement on Friday to help raise awareness.
Between the hours of 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. Police set up at the intersection of Table Rock Road and Mace Road and the operation targeted drivers who failed to yield the right-of-way to pedestrians in an unmarked crosswalk. Using funding from ODOT, MPD conducted the enforcement to raise awareness of Oregon's pedestrian right of way laws.
The Oregon DMV Driving Manual states that there is a crosswalk at every intersection, regardless if it is marked by painted lines. As stated in the 2014-15 Oregon Driver's Manual (Page 79): "To Determine where an unmarked crosswalk is, imagine that the sidewalk or shoulder at the corner extends across the road and meets the sidewalk or shoulder on the other side of the road."
At intersections not controlled by traffic lights, Oregon law states that a driver must stop and remain stopped for a pedestrian in a marked or unmarked crosswalk that is in their lane or the adjacent lane. If a traffic light is present at an intersection, the same rules apply, however the driver must yield to a pedestrian who is six feet away from the adjacent lane. Drivers may also not pass any vehicle that is stopped at a marked or unmarked crosswalk to let a pedestrian cross. Violations of these laws carries a $260 fine.
Some questions have been raised as to why some existing crosswalks are faded and no longer being painted by the city. Research has shown that some pedestrians get a false sense of security with painted crosswalks, and therefore use less caution. Because of this, the city is letting all midblock crosswalks to fade unless they are accompanied by a "positive control." An example of a "positive control" would be a traffic signal, rectangular flashing beacon, school zone, etc.
From the Enforcement today, the Medford Police issued 3 citations and 32 warnings to motorists who failed to stop and remain stopped at a crosswalk with a pedestrian.

Mobo has served legendary sushi for more than two decades. Rolls such as the broiled Pineapple Express ($13.95) with spicy tuna and macadamia nuts inside, smoked salmon, macadamias and pineapple on top offer sensational flavor and textural experiences.
There is another side to Mobo that may be overlooked; the more traditional Asian fare beyond miso soup and gyoza pot stickers.
The warm Udon Noodle Appetizer ($3.50) featured soft, fat wheat noodles in an earthy toasted sesame tahini sauce, similar to one I tasted with meat fondue in Tokyo.

Second post.
Wow, steaming mad to read this...
I'm sorry, but reading this article made me STEAMING MAD. As in literally HOT stuff coming out of my ears 2 feet from my head.
First of all, Ozzy did not commit to this concept though there was some discussion of it being tossed around in the media. Then, he DOES say something about it would be cool to do a killer reunion album, for a fitting closure to an epic band.
THEN WHAT HAPPENS? 1979 ALL OVER AGAIN. Geezer slides the knife in ONE MORE TIME to all us fans who loved the classic 4.
I did NOT support Ozzy going backwards and reopening his heart and life for this band again. He's sober and it COULD be fantastic, but inside? I didn't want him to even consider it. Because who wants Ozzy to waste his time on guys who already INSULTED HIM TO THE BONE back in 1979? It took a big heart to not let that stand in the way of what he thought might be cool to do with his old friends. Friends INDEED.
This is the ULTIMATE insult to every single fan who gave their hearts to all four of these men back in the 70's and thereafter. ALL OVER AGAIN.

freechip has advise how to fudge the Tx and still accomplish this with flap switch to initiate the throt ->elev mix. I think I'm going to move the flap function over to the Fmode switch on all my fixed wing stuff. Fmode switch is better positioned on the Tx for an easier grab and Fmode switch is an availble choice to initiate mixes. Again, idea comes from freechip... |

Probably what is happening and why someone hasn't made one yet is that by the time you export your model file to SD card. Insert SD card in PC, open the program, import file, work on the file, save the file Export on SD card, import back in the radio.
It probably is faster just doing it on the radio. If the program would allow sub trim end points and all that stuff, how would you know what value to start with if not from having the radio on and already being in the menu to make the changes. The idea sounds great but the reality is most likely you can manualy do it faster right from the radio. My .02$ and I'm canadian so either at par or over under the US currency. |

I've tried everything inc changing cards and I can't load up the software update 1.04, the screen just holds and flashes at me, nothing is working. I'm now stuffed until this is resolved, every update is a pain in the arse as it doesn't load, I then mess around and it sometimes just goes through (for no obvious reason) is this normal? Steve |

The usual culprits are bad downloads or a corrupted image on the card. Start by re-formatting the SD card. Use the "not quick" version so it actually tests the media. Assuming you still have a copy on your PC, copy it to the SD card. Right-click on the card icon and select "Eject." This will cause it to flush unwritten data to the card. My machine tells me when it's OK to pop the card out. Make sure that the name is exactly SPMTX.SAX - nothing else will be accepted. Andy |

New Cherokee Clinic is Open
By John Durkee
The Cherokee Nation has a new clinic at Vinita. The new 96,000 square foot facility offers a full menu of health care, including dentistry and optometry.
Cherokee Chief Bill John Baker says the clinic has been need for years and it should help improve the health care needs of Cherokees living in the northern part of the nation.
The clinic opened earlier this month. The new clinic is visible from the Will Rogers Turnpike, between the McDonalds and the Vinita exit.

As Egypt cracks down, charges of wide abuse
Regular reports of torture and police abuse are fueling protests across the country.
The regime of Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak is in the midst of one of its largest crackdowns against public dissent in a decade.
Seven journalists have been given prison sentences in recent weeks; more than a thousand activists of the Muslim Brotherhood, the country's most popular political opposition, languish in jail; and labor organizers involved in a wave of strikes at government-owned factories have been detained.
On Sunday, fighting between rival Bedouin clans in the Sinai Peninsula quickly spiraled into a riot targeting the police and President Mubarak's National Democratic Party (NDP). While local grievances sparked the fight, regular reports of widespread police brutality and torture fed anger in the Sinai, where locals called for the police chief's resignation, and are fueling public outrage around the country.
As the government cracks down hard in both the Sinai and on opposition activists, such as members of the Muslim Brotherhood, it is increasingly being charged with the use of torture on detainees. The charges are being publicized on the Internet by activists eager to bring about reform in Egypt, where the government has strong support from Washington.
"It's hard to explain why, except that torture becomes a habit," says Aida Seif al-Dawla, a psychologist who founded and runs the Nadim Center for the Psychological Rehabilitation of Victims of Violence in Cairo. "But there's no question that police abuse has gone through the roof. For the past month, we've been getting one or two cases every day. For every case that's reported to us, there's bound to be many more we never hear about."
Nasser Sedit Gadallah is just one example.

Spring, the most romantic time, full of energy of the life, love and joy... Spring blossoms , the cherry blossom, plum blossom, peach blossom suddenly appear on seemingly dead branches, heralds of the coming spring. They represent the delicate, almost unnoticed flowering of enlightenment, the surprisingly quiet recognition of the Buddha-mind. These spring blossoms appear only after the hard, lonely winter of meditation and spiritual practice, yet when they peek forth, their appearance is natural, effortless. Spring blossoms are the new life that emerges from the dead branches of the little self, they simply emerge when the limited ego has passed through its seasons and withered away. Alternately, spring blossoms can represent the...

This article explains improper construction details combining with foam sheathing, high indoor humidity, and a broken vapor barrier leading to severe rot to a timber frame building. This article includes excerpts or adaptations from "A Rotting Timber Frame", by Steven Bliss, adapted by permission, courtesy of the Journal of Light Construction. Green links show where you are. © Copyright 2015 InspectApedia.com, All Rights Reserved. Case Study of Timber Frame Building Rot Explains the Role of Vapor Barrier, Insulation, & Moisture"If you don't put in a vapor barrier, your house is going to rot away." You've heard this many times, but it's not so simple. Thousands of insulated houses with no vapor barrier (or a lousy vapor barrier such as kraft paper) have not rotted away. Furthermore, sticking a sheet of poly in the wall is no guarantee against problems. Take the rotting timber- frame house that I visited in southern Vermont one November. The 1,800-square-foot, 1-1/2-story Cape was four years old. The walls were framed with 8x8 timbers, which were left exposed on the interior of the house. Between the 8x8s the builder framed-in with 2x4s to provide nailing and a place for fiberglass insulation. The building frame was sheathed with one-inch boards, then wrapped with one-inch thick, foil-faced isocyanurate foam insulating board, which was taped and caulked. Wood clapboard siding was installed over kraft paper (see diagram just below). A printer friendly PDF version of this article is provided courtesy of the Journal of Light Construction. This and other JLC articles about good construction practices can also be found at the Jornal of Light Construction website. Investigating Rotting Beams on a Timber Frame HomeThe owner discovered the problem when a renovation contractor opened up the south side of the house in order to add a sunspace. He found extensive decay in and around the timbers. The rot occurred on the outer face of the timbers-up to two inches deep in some sections—and in the sheathing and 2x4s wherever they touched the timbers. To learn more, the owner cut out sections of siding and sheathing on all sides of the house and found decayed wood on the north, south, and west. Only one hole was cut on the east side, and showed only minor damage. There was decay on nearly all the beams looked at—high and low, on vertical posts, and on horizontal beams. Rot also occurred in the 2x4s that were directly nailed to the beams, and in the 1x pine sheathing where it touched the beams. No decay was found in the wall sections between the beams, or elsewhere—although a thorough search was not made of all areas. The west face of the house (at page top) was cut open in four spots, all revealing severe decay of the timber frame and adjoining wood. The southwest comer (below left) and center holes (below right) are shown close up. Further Diagnosis of Structural Rot on a Wood Framed BuildingWhen I visited the house in November, I looked for evidence of high moisture levels. It was a sunny day in the 40s—too warm for condensation to form on the windows. But all the second-floor windows—and most on the first floor—were badly stained from pooling condensation. The owner confirmed that condensation covered most of the windows for most of the winter. The sources of moisture were many. For the first two years, the house had a wet basement each spring. (This was finally cured by regrading around the foundation.) There were no bathroom or kitchen fans, and the dryer vented indoors. The house is heated mostly by a wood-fired furnace in the basement, which tends to keep the basement warm and drive any moisture upstairs. To this day, the basement houses wet firewood. Up in the attic, the owner and I found black mold covering the underside of the sheathing on the north side. The wood felt wet. If you find mold in your home, see ACTION GUIDE - WHAT TO DO ABOUT INDOOR MOLD, and when renovating or repairing a home, to avoid future mold problems also see MOLD PREVENTION GUIDE. What let moisture into the attic were eight recessed lights, along with the usual wiring, plumbing, and framing holes. The attic was vented with two large gable-end vents and small, round, plug-type soffit vents. Judging by the mold, however, the vents could not handle the excessive moisture load. Surprisingly, the home's interior had no musty smell, and no obvious signs of water damage other than on the win dow sash. All the damage was "safely" hidden from view. What Caused Structural Rot on This Wood Framed Building?So what caused the problem? In short, a combination of green wood, a moist house, a cold-side vapor barrier, and a cold climate. The timber-frame, built of 8x8 hemlock beams, had been assembled green in the fall and closed in in the spring. Since wood does not dry well in the cold, it was probably still quite wet when wrapped in foam the following spring. The water in the green wood gave the decay fungi a head start the first year. Why didn't the beams dry toward the inside of the house over the summer? They did—at least near the inside faces, which became severely checked. But when winter came, the high moisture levels in the house drove the moisture back into the beams toward the sheathing, where it condensed. The large gaps in the 8x8s provided an easy path for moisture into the wood, which is quite permeable anyway. Moisture could also penetrate the wall along the sides of the beams. Other interruptions in the vapor barrier—at floors, ceilings, and electrical outlets— let more moisture into the wall cavities. The inside face of the foam was below the dew point of the moist interior air throughout much of the winter (see DEW POINT TABLE - CONDENSATION POINT GUIDE). The exposed inside sections of the beams dried, but the wet outer sections festered. Enough water got into the wood each winter so that warm spring temperatures caused decay before the wood could dry out. The foam kept the wood from drying outward, and kept the sun from drying the wood inward. By midsummer, perhaps, the wood fell below saturation levels, stifling decay growth. But the next winter the cycle would repeat. What Is the Treatment for Structural Rot in a Building?To prevent further deterioration, the wood must be kept dry. A building consultant, Bill Lotz, recommended a three-pronged approach:
Conclusions About Rot, Condensation, Moisture, Insulation, Vapor Barriers on Wood Frame HousesUp to a point, wood-frame houses are forgiving; they can safely store winter condensation and get rid of it in the spring. But if you push things too far. watch out. This house violated too many rules. It combined too much moisture with too little ventilation, too cold a condensing surface, and too few opportunities for the wood to dry out. The moisture balance was tipped the wrong way, and the consequences were severe. But how far is too far? What precautions should you take? If you like to live dangerously, you— or an engineer—can make an educated guess about how wet a given wall system will get in a given climate, and how fast it will dry. But there are always unknowns. To play it safe and allow for a margin of error, you should design for dry wall and ceiling cavities. Keep in mind that:
Also see DEW POINT TABLE - CONDENSATION POINT GUIDE for a sidebar to the original of this article: an explanation of how to calculate or look up the dew point - the temperature and relative humidity at which condensation will occur in building cavities or on a building surface. -- Adapted with permission, from material by Steven Bliss and appearing originally in the February 1987 issue of The Journal of Light Construction.

2007 Subaru B9 Tribeca 7-Pass. 4dr SUV AWD w/Gray Int. (3.0L 6cyl 5A)
I bought this car with 62K miles which is low for a subaru.
Let me preface this saying I have owned 2 subuaru's before.
I have owned this car less than a year and have the following issues...
The car loses power when driving randomly.
It stalls, lurches, and loses power.
It has been in the dealership for 7 weeks off and on to solve this problem.
Well at first they couldn't find anything wrong.
Four check engine lights later and 5 visits to the dealership, 2 oxygen sensors, 1 catalytic converter and an oil leak later the car is still not fixed.
This really has become a safety issue as the problem happens once the car has been driven over 100 miles. Won't buy a subaru again

2007 Subaru B9 Tribeca 7-Pass. 4dr SUV AWD w/Gray Int. (3.0L 6cyl 5A)
B9 Tribeca is not getting the fair review as it should properly be compared to other foreign cars. The exterior and interior designs are fairly comparable to the luxury brands of Toyota, Honda and Nissan. You take a look at the safety features of the car you will be surprise its even better than those big 3 imports. I am enjoying my B9 Tribeca in terms of its luxury appointment and the price that I have paid. Try test driving one and compare it.

The BOE unanimously approved the decision after some discussion over whether to adjust the current base rate of $120,000.
Board member Tracey Allen suggested they raise the salary to attract a higher quality candidate and also compete with other schools systems in the area, like Alexander City and Lee County, that are currently conducting searches.
"I don't want to overshoot, but I don't want to shoot ourselves in the foot either and keep from getting some good candidates," Allen said.
Board member Skip Smithwick initially agreed and made a motion for a $125,000 salary plus negotiations, but President Jennie McGhee said they can always adjust the salary listed on the job posting depending on the candidate if they do not want to be locked into a higher rate.
Board member Steve Marlowe agreed and said the rate of pay will ultimately depend on many factors including education and experience.
"That is just the base salary," Marlowe said. "Our total compensation right now is about $132,000, so you've got other things that factor in."
According to a list of comparable school systems compiled by the BOE, the average salary for a system the size of Sylacauga is about $123,000. Talladega City's superintendent position pays $125,000, Marlowe said. He said some salary listings could also be misleading depending on the amount of additional pay the position provides.
"If you get somebody early in their career, the salary is not going to be as significant, because they've got the total compensation," he said. "If you get somebody in the twilight of their career, they would rather have it in the salary for the retirement system information, so some of these numbers could be skewed because they just put it all in salary."
Board member Scott Stewart said the current pay rate is reasonable and should not be a major issue for an applicant.
"What the superintendent is getting paid now looks to be consistent with a school system that is performing as well as ours," Stewart said. "There are things we can do on the incentive side, but I don't see a few thousand dollars discouraging someone from wanting the job one way or the other. When you put those words (about negotiations) in it, they're going to know there's more money on the table."
Smithwick eventually made the motion for the approved salary.
The job posting is expected to be available starting today on the Alabama Association of School Boards website at www.alabamaschoolboards.org.
Allen also inquired about filling the assistant superintendent position that has been vacant for several years. CFO Lisa Dickerson said it is not currently a budgeted expense, but they could pull from other areas to create funds for the position, which previously paid about $91,000. Allen said some redistribution of duties will be necessary if there is no assistant superintendent.
Also at Monday's meeting, the board approved a one-time supplement of $250 each to four bookkeepers, accounts payable clerk, payroll clerk and CFO for receiving Alabama Association of School Business Officials certification.
The next regular board meeting is March 21 at 5:30 p.m. at the Central Office.

Ghost tours reveal the hidden history of your town, such as which famous town hall is actually a ghost. Dig up some secrets with this Groupon.
Choose Between Two Options
- $15 for a walking ghost tour for two ($30 value)
- $25 for a walking ghost tour for four ($60 value)<p>
Though the tour covers the spine-chilling activities usually associated with ghosts, there's also a focus on history. Guides recount the area's history, peppered with lore of Harvard Square's most notorious ghosts.
Haunted Boston Harbor
Between launching city-centric websites like Cambridge Uncommon and Salem Uncommon and teaching journalism classes at Cambridge Community TV, freelance journalist Sam Baltrusis wrote his book Ghosts of Boston: Haunts of the Hub. In its pages he reveals 300 years of city history and ghost stories. He details unexplained sounds and hovering objects seen inside the Hub's dorm rooms, apparitions witnessed on the Boston Common, and a colonial British solider glimpsed on the tracks at the Boylston station. His second book, Ghosts of Cambridge: Haunts of Harvard Square and Beyond hit shelves in September 2013, and his third book, Ghosts of Salem: Haunts of the Witch City was published just a year later; in addition, his deft pen has led him to become a regional stringer for The New York Times.
Not content with relegating his words to the page, Sam also brings them to life through seasonal walking tours. Guides lit by handheld lanterns lead guests through the shadowy streets of downtown Boston. They divulge stories of murder and recall Cambridge's ominous history. They also answer questions such as which Harvard hall is the most haunted, which area church is home to the ghost of a British redcoat soldier, and which famously mustachioed ghosts are just wearing fake mustaches. The founder's literary background shows through on the tours, too, which are peppered with the lore of Nathaniel Hawthorne, Charles Dickens, and Edgar Allan Poe.
