STAPLES Center Transforms Fan Experience With New High Definition Digital Video Solutions
LOS ANGELES, Oct. 18, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- When the Los Angeles Kings face off against the St. Louis Blues tonight at STAPLES Center for their home opener, fans will experience the action in an entirely new and interactive way. Leading-edge custom digital video technology solutions deployed by Verizon and Cisco will more closely connect fans to what's happening on the ice while providing a wide array of information about onsite amenities and services available to them.
Owned and operated by AEG, STAPLES Center is one of the premier sports and entertainment venues in the world and hosts four major sports franchises, more than 250 events and four million visitors annually. A leader in innovation, AEG recognized a need to upgrade STAPLES Center's electronic capabilities to better service its increasingly tech-savvy fan base while creating new streams of revenue for the venue, sponsors and partners. By collaborating with Cisco to create a Connected Sports and Entertainment environment, and with Verizon to design and build the essential technology foundation, AEG has given the venue a technology makeover that keeps it in a class of the best and most innovative facilities in the world.
One of the most noticeable changes is the addition of Cisco StadiumVision™, an innovative digital video and content distribution system that centrally controls and delivers targeted high-definition video and highly relevant digital content to guests. More than 375 Panasonic HD video displays located in the luxury suites (including 175 Full HD3D screens), at refreshment stands and around the Premiere Level give STAPLES Center new channels of communication and engagement with their diverse audiences, while providing fans with an immersive multimedia experience.
Verizon and Cisco Creating the Ultimate Fan Experience:
- In the luxury suites, Cisco StadiumVision further personalizes the event experience by allowing fans to customize their view of the live game or show below, or switch to other channels of premium HD content, by simply changing the channel via the Cisco® touch-screen Unified IP Phones in conjunction with Verizon voice-over-IP service. In the future, fans will also be able to order concessions and team merchandise for delivery to the suites by using the touch screen on the phones.
- With constantly changing games, teams and events, one of the keys for STAPLES Center is the flexibility of the technology being delivered by Verizon and Cisco. The entire color scheme, content and branding of the venue can be done with the push of a few buttons, and this is proving exceptionally valuable at the concessions stands where dynamic menu boards can easily be updated with new menu items and pricing.
- AEG is already seeing a strong return on its investment evidenced by results from the early deployment of digital and dynamic menu boards at concessions. For example, in March, AEG saw a 9 percent increase in revenue (year over year) from concessions for Los Angeles Kings games. Even more impressive was the 400 percent increase in revenue (year over year) from select promotions offered for the Los Angeles Sparks games this season.

Sophomore Shane Ray adds to MU pass rush
Missouri defensive end Shane Ray wants to be known for big hits and big plays.
The last three weeks, Ray, a sophomore from Bishop Miege, has started to build that reputation.
It started Oct. 12 at Georgia, where Ray chugged around the Bulldogs' left tackle and delivered a crushing blow against quarterback Aaron Murray, jarring the ball loose. Michael Sam scooped it up and scored a pivotal touchdown in the Tigers' 41-26 victory.
Hitting Murray for the first sack of his college career seemed to light Ray's fuse.
"Once you get that first hit on the quarterback, it's like getting a taste for blood and you want it more and more," Ray said. "I want to be known as a very physical player, especially when it comes to contact. I don't want to just get to the quarterback and pull him down. I want to hit the quarterback and let him know he's going to feel that every time I get to you."
Ray made a similar play a week later against Florida's Tyler Murphy, drilling him from behind and forcing another fumble. Ray added a sack in his third consecutive game when he smothered South Carolina's Connor Shaw for an 11-yard loss Saturday.
Ray's sack effectively ended the Gamecocks' drive and stood as the only drive led by Shaw that didn't result in points.
"He's shown he can make big plays," senior cornerback Randy Ponder said. "He's a fast guy. He clocked in at like a 4.4 (in the 40-yard dash), so he's extremely fast, especially for that position."
Ray acknowledges that speed is his best asset, but now he's adding experience and technique to his arsenal.
"He's getting more experience, and the more experience he gets I think he uses the technique that coach (Craig Kuligowski) teaches him," Tigers coach Gary Pinkel said. "It's really great to see that."
Ray is also taking notes from his more experienced teammates, learning from the example set by Sam, who was announced Tuesday as a semifinalist for the Bednarik Award as college football's defensive player of the year, and junior defensive end Kony Ealy.
"It's just hard work and dedication," Ray said. "I've got a lot of guys in the room that I'm looking up to as far as Kony (Ealy), Mike Sam and Markus (Golden). I don't want to be the guy that, when I'm on the field, there's a drop-off."
Instead, Ray wants to be an important member of the pack.
"Being in the defensive line room, you've got to have a dog mentality … because the quarterback is essentially our bone," he said. "You're in the dirtiest, biggest fight in the trenches all game. You're working and working. You can't stop. Those guys (Sam and Ealy) have taught me that you can't stop. You have to be relentless — relentless to the quarterback, relentless to the ball. I've embraced that from those two and used it in my play."
Ray had three quarterback hurries and 2 1/2 tackles for a loss as a redshirt freshman last season. He already has six tackles for a loss to go with three sacks and two forced fumbles this season, positioning himself as a worthy successor to former Missouri defensive ends Justin Smith and Aldon Smith as well as Sam and Ealy.
"He's on the right path," Ealy said. "I can't really put a prediction on it, but we'll see in due time. He's got hunger to go out there and make plays for the team."
Ray knows he's got a long way to go, but at least he's started down the path.
"I can't really say that for myself right now, because I'm just now starting to make some plays," Ray said. "I'm still humble and I'm a young guy … but I definitely can say, by the time I leave this school, I would like to mention in the top category with those D linemen."

Erin Go Beehive
The Beehive in Boston, MA Partners with the Boston Irish Tourism Association for Authentic St. Patrick's Day Dining & Entertainment
On Monday, March 17th, 2014 The Beehive will present its 7th annual St. Patrick's Day festivities from 5:00PM – 1:00AM in partnership with the Boston Irish Tourism Association (BITA). St. Patrick's Day at The Beehive means an evening of authentic entertainment including a live performance from Boston-based Katie McD, Irish-inspired drinks, à la carte food specials from Executive Chef Marc Orfaly and an evening that only The Beehive can create.
The claim from inside the 'hive' is that while there will be plenty of surprises, this will not be your typical Irish fest. "No green beer…but what we are planning is a sophisticated evening of amazing Irish comfort food and authentic, world-class, Irish entertainment for a mature audience," said Co-Owner, Jack Bardy. And "authentic" is the key word! The Beehive has landed the stamp of approval again for this year's event from the Boston Irish Tourism Association. "We've been more than happy to get involved with The Beehive and their annual St. Patrick's Day festivities, and we're looking forward to the amazing food and festivities planned!" said Colette Quinlin, Managing Director of BITA.
MUSIC: One of the many St. Patrick's Day surprises at The Beehive will be a special performance from Katie McD. Originally from Galway, Ireland, Katie McD has quickly established herself as a major part of the Boston music scene. Her journey to America provided inspiration for interpretations of traditional Irish folk music as well as her original compositions. Her unique style interlaces luscious textures with ethereal vocals and thought-provoking lyrics that capture both imagination and heart. As a truly gifted troubadour, Katie weaves together intricate tales of the human experience that make her an Irish talent to be reckoned with.
FOOD/DRINK: In addition to serving the regular menu Chef Marc Orfaly is adding an Irish flair to his award-winning menu, with Irish-American à la carte specials including: Grilled Lamb and Colcannon Mashed Potatoes and Finnan Haddie Smoked Fish & Chips. Dinner reservations are recommended. No cover charge, and both the upstairs and downstairs bars will be open for service. Along with The Beehive's regular libations, the bar will mix traditional Irish cocktails all night long.
WHERE: The Beehive, 541 Tremont Street, Boston, MA 02116 | P. 617.423.0069 | beehiveboston.com
WHEN: Monday, March 17th, 2014, 5:00PM - 1:00AM; Live Music from 8:00PM – 12:00AM.

The NBBTP Fellowship is a two-year commitment. Fellowships are funded and offered in one year increments. Fellows do not incur a service payback obligation to the NBBTP, NIH, NIAID, or Frontline Foundation upon completion of the Fellowship.
Fellows may be terminated prior to their specified expiration date for scientific or other forms of misconduct, interpersonal incompatibility, failure to comply with terms of the Fellowship or to carry out or satisfy the purpose for which it was made. When termination is proposed for such reasons, the Fellow will be given an opportunity to address these reasons before a decision is rendered.
Fellowships may also be terminated due to programmatic changes, budgetary constraints, lack of funds, or other administrative reasons.
A Fellow may resign from the program with or without cause. In such an instance he/she may retain all awards and materials received from the program to that time; however, any rights to re-enter or otherwise receive additional awards or materials or to complete the Fellowship program are forfeited.
Stipend levels are based on the NIH IRTA scale for pre-doctoral
(https://www.training.nih.gov/programs/postdoc_irp) or
post-doctoral students
A stipend increase for year two of the Fellowship may be granted
within the framework of established NIH/Intramural Research
Training Award Guidelines based on growth, development, and
accomplishments as determined by the NBBTP Advisory Board of
Scientific Directors.
Stipends are currently paid on the last day of each month; Fellows
may elect payment by check or direct deposit.
Health and Dental Insurance
All Fellows must have adequate health insurance coverage to receive training in NIH facilities. This requirement may be satisfied by a policy held either in the Fellow's name or in another's name with the Fellow identified as a family member. Verification of health benefit enrollment is required.
An approved plan of health insurance is available through the Foundation for Advanced Education in the Sciences (FAES) at the NIH. The Frontline Foundation provides 100% of the premium of the FAES family health insurance program. Frontline Foundation will pay or reimburse for a policy issued in the Fellow's name in an amount not to exceed that of the FAES' fee-for-service Preferred Provider Option, individual or family coverage, as appropriate. In addition, NBBTP will reimburse the cost of any additional health insurance premiums, if incurred, as a result of being covered under a spouse's plan and identified as a "family member" in an amount not to exceed the cost of the FAES' fee-for-service Preferred Provider Option for Family coverage. Vision is also covered under the FAES Health Insurance.
Should Fellows elect FAES health insurance, they are responsible for enrolling in FAES health insurance within the first 30 days of the award. Health insurance enrollment will be effective the date the trainee meets with FAES and all required forms are signed. Fellows must maintain an existing policy or purchase a personal policy until they have met with FAES and elected health insurance.
Sufficient documentation verifying health insurance coverage and documenting health insurance costs are required when using a non-FAES policy.
The NBBTP may also provide individual dental insurance for the NBBTP Fellow through FAES. Both health and dental insurance premiums are subject to income tax.
Absences: Vacation, Sick Leave
Fellows do not earn annual or sick leave; however, they may be excused on Federal Holidays occurring during the Fellowship period. The Executive Director may, at his/her discretion, excuse the Fellow for reasonable cause such as ill health, personal emergencies, or vacations (generally, up to two weeks per year). The executive director may exercise discretion in granting additional short absences (less than a week per year) as he/she deems appropriate.
Six weeks of unpaid, excused absence may be granted for the birth or adoption of a child and other family health care. In addition, a maximum of six weeks excused unpaid leave per year may be granted to accommodate a trainee's military obligations, e.g., active duty, active duty training, and inactive duty training
Travel costs to the NIH Bethesda, MD campus area for NBBTP Fellows, their dependents, and movement of household goods and temporary storage of household goods not to exceed $3,000 are provided only at the discretion of the Executive Director and with the approval of the Contract Office. No allowance for return travel is authorized.
Travel Costs Related to Training
The NBBTP pays 100% of registration, material fees and reasonable and customary travel costs associated with attending scientific meetings or off-campus training programs required by the NBBTP. All travel cost reimbursements are limited to amounts consistent with federal employee travel regulations.
Fellows seeking to attend non-required scientific meetings or off-campus training programs must submit this request in writing to the NBBTP Program Manager. Reimbursement, if any, is subject to the availability of funds and the discretion of the NBBTP Executive Director and/or Program Director.
NBBTP Fellowships are considered awards for training rather than wages for services, and, therefore neither Social Security nor Medicare is deducted from stipends.
However, NBBTP Fellowship stipends, including the value of health and dental premiums, may be subject to Federal, State, and Local income taxes. The Frontline Foundation does not withhold taxes from the Fellow's stipend. The Foundation's accounting department provides NBBTP Fellows with an annual Form 1099-misc, a copy of which is provided to the IRS. Fellows are individually responsible for all tax-related matters.
Fellows may not engage in paid activities outside of the NBBTP.
The publication and presentation of scientific research by NBBTP Fellows are governed by the same policies as applied to other scientists, either employed by or in training at NIH. (NIH Manual Chapter 1183 - NIH Publications and Audiovisuals: Preparation, Review, Approval, and Distribution)
Fellows are bound by all provisions of Executive Order 10096, as amended, 45 C.F.R. Part 7, and any orders, rules, regulations or memoranda otherwise issued there under as if Fellows were government employees who conceived an invention or first actually reduced it to practice while participating in the NBBTP at the NIH. NBBTP Fellows will disclose promptly to the NBBTP Executive Director and NBBTP Program Director all inventions of which they conceive or first actually reduce to practice during their NBBTP Fellowship, and sign and execute all papers necessary for conveying to the government the rights to which it is entitled by virtue of Executive Order 10096, as amended.
Privacy Act Notification Statement
Records must be maintained in accordance with Privacy Act System Notice: 09-25-0158-Administration: Records of Applicants and Awardees of the NIH IRTA Program, HHS/NIH/OD/OIR/OE.
Documents Acceptable for Verification of U.S. Citizenship, Permanent Residency, or U.S. National Status
Fellows must provide documented evidence of their U.S. citizenship, permanent residency, or status as a U.S. National before their Fellowships may be activated. NBBTP Fellows should be prepared to provide originals or copies of two documents from the following list:
- United States Passport (Current or Expired)
- Certificate of United States Citizenship
- Certificate of Naturalization
- Certificate of Permanent Residency with photograph
- Proof of U.S. National Status Other Officially issued identifying document that provides proof of U.S. citizenship, permanent residency status, or status as a U.S. National may be acceptable at the discretion of the NBBTP Program Director

Michael Schumachers first Grand Prix appearance since his retirement created a media frenzy in the Barcelona paddock on Friday. The former Ferrari star looked calm and relaxed at a press conference held in his honour, and was only slightly taken aback when asked if he was finding life out of the fast lane too hard to bear...
Q: Michael, it's six months into your retirement now. Where are you at? How is your life? What do you think about when you wake up in the morning? How structured is your life?
Michael Schumacher: Well, it is certainly very obvious that there is a life after Formula One. It is an interesting experience to wake up in the morning and not have to think about racing but about your family and about new goals.
Q: You still look pretty fit. What is your work out regime - do you work out at all?
MS: Everybody knows my passion for soccer. That is what I basically do to keep fit.
Q: Do you have a specific role here this weekend with Ferrari or do you just observe?
MS: I am just observing.
Q: Do you think that your presence here this weekend could distract the team from their normal operations?
MS: If that would be the case I would not be here.
Q: Will you give Felipe (Massa) your advice during the weekend?
MS: No, he is doing a great job - he is delivering, he simply doesnt need anybodys advice any more.
Q: What is your opinion on Kimi (Raikkonen) and the job he is doing?
MS: It is not part of my work to analyse his situation. I have my view but I dont think it is my job to make that public. I dont see any reason.
Q: How exciting is it to see the new generation in Formula One racing?
MS: It is very exciting to watch the races, see all those new faces, see their competition. I simply like to watch it.
Q: Do you have any ambitions to be a team owner one day - or to run Ferrari?
MS: Neither nor. Its simply not interesting me.
Q: Might we see you in a racing car sometime in the future?
MS: I am quite happy how it is at the moment and going back into a car seems more than unrealistic. In the future - who knows?
Q: Can you describe your emotions when Ferrari has a good day and wins, now that you are no longer in the cockpit?
MS: It is and always was the team that counts. Ferrari was always the number one priority - its not about a single person. You celebrate together, you feel together - you win together.

WPRV (790 AM, "AM 790") is a radio station located in Providence, Rhode Island. The station is owned by Cumulus Media, and airs a news/talk format. The station's studios are located in East Providence and the transmitter site is located separately in East Providence just east of the Seekonk River.
WPRV was originally WEAN, Rhode Island's first radio station (those call letters now belong to a sister FM station). It was originally owned by the Shepard Stores of Boston, and starting in the late 1920s, it received programming from sister station WNAC. This would form the cornerstone of the Yankee Network, a regional radio service feeding newscasts and other programs throughout the region.
In the early 1950s, WEAN was sold to the Providence Journal-Bulletin.
By the 1960s, WEAN was a Middle-Of-The-Road outlet, transitioning to Adult Contemporary by the 1970s. For a time in the mid-to-late 1970s, WEAN was an affiliate of NBC's short-lived News And Information Service, going back to music when NIS folded.
After ownership changes, WEAN eventually changed call letters to WWAZ and its format to first classical, then adult standards under the call letters WLKW.
The station then broadcast a sports format as WSKO ("The Score"), airing local and national sports programming (including ESPN Radio programs), with most programs simulcast with WSKO-FM/99.7 (which was replaced by WEAN-FM, a simulcast of WPRO); this format was dropped in March 2008. Hosts over the years included John "Coach" Colletto, Andy Gresh, Scott Cordischi, John Rooke, Steve Hyder, Jess Atkinson, Amy Lawrence, Scott Zolak, John Crowe, and Bryan Morry.
After dropping sports, the station took on its current call letters, as well as an oldies format, largely provided by Scott Shannon's The True Oldies Channel from ABC Radio;[1] this was replaced by the current format on April 13, 2009.
Current programming includes Imus in the Morning with Dave Gardiner, Mike Huckabee on afternoons, Dave Ramsey on evenings, and Red Eye Radio overnight. It also serves as the Providence affiliate for New York Yankees baseball, Boston Bruins Hockey, as well as Brown University Football and Men's Basketball.

Unbiased Reviews by Real People
I bough these about 3 months ago and am really happy with them at times, yet I hate them at others. These are great as long as there is little noise around you, they do not isolate sound at all. You really have to crank the volume up if you want to hear anything in even a mildly noisy environment.

Another veto possible after Gonzales council approves budget
GONZALES, LA (NBC33) — Mayor Barney Arceneaux says he has a lot of thinking to do and several conversations to hold before he either accepts of vetoes the latest city budget proposal.
The Gonzales City Council voted 3-2 to approve a budget for the 2014-15 fiscal year, which began June 1. The vote fell along the typical voting line, with councilmen Irvin, Lacombe, and Vessel in favor, and councilmen Boudreaux and Matassa opposed.
This is the second time the council majority approved a budget. Mayor Arceneaux vetoed the previous version because it included cuts to public safety and economic development to fund a controversial study of an Interstate 10 service road.
The version approved Monday night does not include that road study, but it does have cuts to the Police Department and Ascension Economic Development Corp.
Mayor Arceneaux was angry after the meeting that the council members would choose to take funding away from public safety. He said he will meet with various constituents in the next few days before he decides whether to reject the budget plan or accept it. His veto deadline is August 9.

I am gonna say yes. Beretta sold the machinery for the Cougar to Stoeger so they should be interchangeable. Stoeger does not make magazines for the Stoeger Cougar. The Stoeger Cougar is actually sold with two "Beretta Magazines"...made in Italy. Jack

Gresham sends message with Texas visit
By Max Olson
Daniel Gresham
knew the best way to dispel a belief wasn't his words. It took actions.
That, in a nutshell, is why the Fort Worth (Texas) All Saints running back woke up early on Saturday morning, boarded a plane at the Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport and made a surprise appearance at Texas' second junior day.
Texas commit Daniel Gresham made a surprise appearance at junior day.
Nobody asked him to visit Austin. Nobody needed to. The Longhorns commit wasn't out to send a message, but he hopes he did.
"A lot of people have been sitting around on the Internet and saying I'm going to decommit and that I'm not really a bell cow and things like that," Gresham said. "I really wanted to get down there and show everybody how much I love Texas. It was important to me to be the bell cow of this class and get as many commits as I can."
Gresham has been committed to Texas since August and hasn't wavered. New offers have been coming in lately, including from Auburn, Miami, Tennessee and Ole Miss. He appreciates those, but they don't change a thing.
Still, Gresham became frustrated last week when some posts on Twitter led Texas fans to question the strength of his commitment. While Gresham says things got blown out of his proportion, the criticism he faced on the social network prompted him to delete his @Dgresh33 Twitter account.
"I wish I hadn't said anything," Gresham said. "I let my immaturity get the best of me."
Gresham could block out what the so-called fans were saying, but the implication still gnawed at him.
He considers himself one of the leaders of the Longhorns' eight-man 2014 recruiting class. He's serious about this, and the accusations that Gresham had one foot out the door -- misguided as they were -- couldn't continue.
So he came up with a plan Friday night. He and fellow UT commit
Demetrius Knox
couldn't get a ride to Texas for the program's second junior day. But Gresham did have one thing going for him: His mother works for American Airlines.
That meant lining up a cheap, one-way ticket for a flight down to Austin was fairly easy. Gresham landed at 10:30 a.m. and got a ride over to campus from some friends. There, he was greeted with exactly he reaction he'd hoped for.
"Coach Brown ran up and gave me a big hug," Gresham said. "He was surprised I came down and everybody was excited. It showed the coaching staff how serious I was about being a Longhorn."
Mack Brown and his coaches had no idea Gresham was coming. He brought the longtime recruit up to speed on who Texas planned to offer and who he needed to spend time with during the day.
Gresham stuck with fellow UT commit
Lorenzo Joe
(Abilene, Texas/Cooper) and focused his attention on Texas City (Texas) receiver
Armanti Foreman
, an Oklahoma commit, and Abilene defensive end
Jake McMillon
Texas didn't pick up any new verbal commitments over the weekend, but Gresham is confident he did his job. He has continued to keep in touch with several key UT targets and hopes his presence at both junior days helped make an impact.
At the very least, it shut up any doubters. Those fans who bugged him this week know now that the 17-year-old isn't afraid to puts his money where his mouth is.
He's started a new Twitter account, but this time it's private. He wants to let only friends and future teammates access his posts. There's less attention and drama that way, or at least that's his hope.
As Gresham caught a ride home with some buddies on Sunday, he was already looking forward to his next trip to Austin. He'll be in town for the weekend of the Orange-White spring game and Texas Relays next month.
Next time, a plane trip won't be necessary. But Gresham is glad it paid off.
"I didn't set out to try to impress people," he said. "I just wanted to come down and do what was best for Texas. Hopefully that's what I did."

When President-elect Barack Obama came to our studios at the Newseum in Washington, D.C. for our exclusive interview, he brought his daughters, Malia and Sasha.
The girls visited our "This Week" control room and even got on my executive producer's headset, giving me the question they most wanted their dad to answer.
"While you were getting made up," I told Obama, "they went into the control room and played director and producer. And they actually gave me a question they want me to ask you. You know exactly what it's going to be."
Obama laughed, "Uh-oh. Go ahead."
On behalf of Malia and Sasha Obama, I asked the president-elect, "What kind of a dog are we getting and when are we getting it?"
Obama said, "They seem to have narrowed it down to a labradoodle or a Portuguese water hound …medium-sized dog, and so, we're now going to start looking at shelters to see when one of those dogs might come up."
"So, you're closing in on it?" I asked Obama.
"We're closing in on it. This has been tougher than finding a commerce secretary," the president-elect said.
Obama said his daughters are handling the transition to their new city beautifully.
"They seemed to thrive," the president-elect said. "I'm trying to figure out why it is that they don't seemed to be fazed by anything. People think — you know, folks think I'm cool, they are a lot cooler than I am. They just don't seem to be intimidated."

Steve Anderson Baseline Ventures: Instagram's First Investor Explains What He Looks For In Companies. 7 Tips for Big Brands That Want to Reach Local Consumers. National brands that add local context to their mobile campaigns can expect to see click-through rates rise to 5% to 8%, versus 0.6% for mobile display ads without local relevance, while adding something as simple as a local phone number to a Yellow Pages print display ad has been shown to increase response rates by 40%.
While there's little doubt that local marketing helps big brands get noticed, many national companies have been slow to get onboard with these types of advertising tactics thus far. (Thirty-three percent of the top 100 U.S. brands don't have mobile-optimized websites, and 16% have no mobile strategy.) The Startup Curve. I'm working with a few startups right now that are in various phases of Paul Graham's startup curve: Many people think startups are up and to the right all the time.

hey everyone! im in the process of installing this lift on my 2004 ext cab 4x4 tacoma. I have read and searched alot but i still have questions. i really need to get this lift finished soon, and i keep running into problems. ive already been working on it on and off for a few days now.
first problem i had was a stuck cam bolt sleeve on the passenger side lower arm bolt. i ended up just cutting both sides so i could remove the arm. now i have to somehow press it out or drill it out. i already purchased a new one from the dealer.
the biggest problem though ( like everyone else that installed the lift ) has been with rack and pinion high pressure lines hitting. ive cut and cut and cut and its still hitting. its not actually the line but the nut that connects it. so my question is if i leave it touching, will i run into problems down the road with it leaking or anything?
and how important is the metal sleeve that goes inside the bushing for the driver side R&P mount?? the metal sleeve they supplied looks to big around and a hair to long. would it cause any problems if i didnt use it? besides it squishin and not torquing right?

Feds Plan for Climate Change Impact
July 21, 2014 Tom Joseph
HARRISBURG - The National Park Service is making plans to prepare for and react to the effects of climate change at parks in Pennsylvania and elsewhere, say department officials.
Nicholas Fisichelli, Park Service ecologist, cited his recent study showing most national parks are getting warmer.
"235 of 289 parks have recent temperatures that are warmer than 95 percent of the range of average temperatures experienced since 1901," explained Fisichelli.
He added that warmer weather increases the risk of wildfires and invites more invasive species, both of which mean greater struggles for wildlife in the parks.
He said the National Park Service can prepare for, but not change the reality of climate change.
"We can try to resist some changes," Fisichelli said. "Others we're going to have to adapt to, and alter the way that parks may operate. Or what visitors see, and when they see it, within parks."
For example, he said warmer summer temperatures may mean earlier and later visitor peaks, if the summers become too hot to attract people.
Fisichelli said research shows that human-caused pollution is a main cause of climate change. He cited this year's
National Climate Assessment
, which concluded that temperatures in the mid-Atlantic region will continue to rise.

Did not like product. Applied strip carefully and after playing a round of golf found that it did not stay on toe.
This product is fantastic for removing hard corns, calluses, and rough skin!! I have a very hard and painful callus on ball of right foot. This product is the only one that I have found that gives me total pain relief!! Also works great for calluses on hands!!
I had toe surgery which still is tender. This product has helped keep the scar tissue subsided and protected. I've tried everything at the drug store. This Oppo gel toe sleeve is the only product that works for me! Hard to find!
My foot doctor gave me this product and I've used it for about 2 weeks. After about 7 or 8 days of use, my feet went from SEVERELY DRY, DRY PATCHES, ROUGH SKIN and CALLUSES to nice looking feet, soft, moisturized, no dry patches and calluses were reduced in size, about a 50% reduction. This product is the VERY BEST! I've used other foot care products for the past 35 years, with barely the results as THERAPLEX FT! ALSO, I'm going to use Theraplex on my psoriasis outbreak. I've used many, many prescription drugs, creams, lotions, tar, tar bathes, etc. since my first outbreak in 1975. The current prescription cream I'm using is NOT working very well at all, which was prescribed by my Dermatologist! I'm optimistic it will work...

Why six MLB clubs stay in Venezuela despite rising crime and bitter politics
The division-leading Colorado Rockies have seven Venezuelans on their lineup, the most of any team in the league, and 35 more in the minors. Mr. Fernandez's eye for picking out young Latino talent is widely credited for turning the Rockies into one of the best teams in baseball, boasting such pitching stars as Jhoulys Chacin, who was signed as a teenager in Venezuela, and the Dominican Ubaldo Jimenez, who pitched the first no-hitter in Colorado Rockies history last year.
"You have to have a presence here," says Fernandez. "You have to be good here, if you want your organization to be good."
That's no easy task. According to the scouts at the recent showcase in San Joaquin, robbers and criminals target teams' facilities, staff, and players, who are often believed to have gotten large signing bonuses. Additionally, the threat of expropriations and onerous foreign exchange controls make teams wary of doing business in Venezuela.
Finding young recruits
To maintain a foothold, most of the teams have local scouts on the ground who start approaching the boys as young as 14 about the possibility of signing with them. The best players at this spring's showcase in San Joaquin stand to earn as much as a million dollars in signing bonuses this summer when they become eligible to play for MLB farm teams.
For most of the boys, that will mean leaving their families at age 16 and moving to the Dominican Republic, where all 30 MLB teams have training academies.
"You could have the same thing in Venezuela but you don't," says Fernandez. "[The Dominican Republic] welcomes everything we do, the process is easier in everything we do."
Baseball and oil do mix

text: As an American college graduate, I don't understand how these students can carry around signs saying 'Free Education Now'. Someone has to pay for the salaries, research, etc. Levying taxes is a waste, as governments seem to find ways to squander monies on everything but what they were allocated for - so the only logical solution seems to be raising tuition. As a graduate of a 4-year private college in the US, my tuition went up 3.5-5% each year. I pay more each month for my student loan debt service than I do for my apartment - and I live in Manhattan. If you want a high-quality education, you have to pay what it is worth - just like every other good or service on the planet.

March 6 is the death anniversary of the author of Little Women, Louisa May Alcott. It is first in a series of books, the last of which is Jo's Boys. Alcott portrays herself as Jo in Little Women.
March 6 is the death anniversary of popular children's writer Louisa May Alcott. She was born on November 29, 1832, in Gerrmantown, which is now a part of Philadephia, Pennsylvania, U.S. When her family had financial difficulties, Lousia May did odd jobs to support her family.
The book is partially based on Alcott's childhood. In fact, the Orchard House in Concord, Massachusetts, where the Alcott family stayed is said to be a visual revisit to the 19th century setting of the novel. Little Women is first in the series of books, last of which is Jo's Boys. Jo, one of the characters in Little Women, is modelled after herself. But unlike Jo who gets married, Alcott never did.
Sisters togetherThough Alcott published several of her writings, it was Little Women that was the defining moment in her career. Today, it is one of the most widely read children's novels.
Little Women is a tale of four sisters, Meg, Jo, Amy and Beth. They are awaiting the return of their father who is away in the event of war. The girls have distinct personalities and it is interesting to see how they cope with situations. Meg, the eldest is 16 and has taken on some of the responsibilities of the family. Jo is boisterous and has a quick temper. Amy is a bit demanding and sometimes vain. Beth is quiet and never loses her temper.
This is not a well off family but they are content, close-knit and aloving family. They are generous too, giving their Christmas breakfast to the Hummels, a poor family consisting of a widow and her six children.
The girls make friends with Theodore Laurence (Laurie) their neighbour. He lives with his grandfather James Laurence. Laurie is lonely, and befriends the girls and spends a good deal of time with them. His tutor, James Brooke, falls in love with Meg as is seen later in the story.
Testing times lie ahead. Mr. March takes ill and his wife is sent for. While Mrs. March is away, the girls do their bit to support the situation of the family. This is something that bears close resemblance to the author's own life as she had to work as an occasional teacher, seamstress, governess, domestic help and writer. Jo, to everyone's surprise and to her own dismay, has her long hair chopped off, while Amy hesitantly agrees to read to Aunt March in place of Jo.
In the midst of all this misery, Beth catches viral fever and is very ill and Mrs. March has to return. Mr. March recovers and is back home.
In the meantime, Laurie decides to speed up things and mischievously writes a letter to Meg and signs it James Brooke. His intention is to take this relationship forward. Brooke confesses his love but Meg is confused and says it is too early to decide.
Little Women revolves around the lives of the four sisters — their day to day interactions. Their characters are defined by the nature of the relationship they have with people around them, be it their cheerful neighbour Laurie or their relative, Aunt March who is a trying woman.
Sacrifice is one of the underlying themes of the novel and defines the spirit of the protagonists. The novel can be enjoyed and cherished for the love that is apparent between the members of the March family and how a giving nature keeps relationships alive and going.
"Money is a needful and precious thing,--and, when well used, a noble thing,--but I never want you to think it is the first or only prize to strive for. I'd rather see you poor men's wives, if you were happy, beloved, contented, than queens on thrones, without self-respect and peace." — Louisa May Alcott, Little Women

NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- Even in these down times, there's money to be made buying and flipping houses.
One might think this would be a most dangerous game -- after all, home prices are down more than a third from their peak in most areas. But plenty of investors are taking the risk in exchange for big profits.
In fact, nearly 1 million homes were bought as investment properties in 2010, according to the National Association of Realtors.
"It's absolutely viable," said Perry Henderson, a real estate agent and investor in Austin, Texas. "But you have to buy intelligently and go after the right opportunities."
Henderson helped one investor close a deal on a three-bedroom, two-bath house for $138,000 in Austin. His client is now selling the property for $188,000 after putting in $10,000 worth of repairs. Add in transaction costs and this investor is still making at least $20,000 in just a few weeks of work.
Of course, this is Texas where home prices have remained more stable. The buy-and-flip is more difficult to execute in Florida, where the bubble hit hard.
"It's been almost a dead issue," said Jack McCabe, a real estate consultant in the Sunshine State. "A lot of the deals done over the past two years were at 50% discounts to 2006 prices and they'll still turn out to be unprofitable."
Still, there are some Florida flippers making money, particularly those buying inner-city properties selling at deep discounts. Some of the homes sell for $30,000 or $40,000 when they once fetched $200,000.
"There are opportunities if you're sharp and knowledgeable about the local areas," McCabe said. "Buying at those prices, there are profits to be made."
The buy-and-flip is also easier in rising markets, but there are precious few around. But Washington, D.C., is on the list, being one of only two metro areas to record year-over-year price increases, according to the most recent Case-Shiller 20-city home price index.
"Most of my clients go through four of five properties a month," said Justin Konz of Restoration Capital, which finances many D.C.-area purchases. He claimed his clients are making gross margins of 35% or higher.
Most shoppers buy very selectively from three main sources: foreclosures auction sales; homes repossessed by banks (REOs); and short sales. Prices must be rock-bottom low and fix-up costs modest, only about 5% or 10% of purchase prices.
Henderson prefers ugly, beat-up homes that have sat on the market or "old houses that somebody's grandma lived in for 40 years and didn't do anything to. Now, she's passed away and her family wants to sell quickly."
Those, he said, are where the deal can be found because he's improving the bad properties in good neighborhoods.
One real estate investor, Brian Fuller, hates the term "flip," even though he and his partners buy and sell more than 200 properties a year in and around San Diego.
"It doesn't describe what we do," he said. "We buy the biggest eyesore on the block and turn it into the best looking house there. We're helping pull up values in the neighborhood."

Union County child abuse rates drop, still high in comparison
Union County's child abuse rate dropped during the summer months, but the rate is still high in comparison to numbers across the state. While still prevalent in society, the number of children abused across the state of Iowa has dropped from 13,288 in 2003 to 11,637 in 2012. "Child abuse, it knows no economic boundaries, or educational boundaries," said Paul Ver Meer, Creston police chief. "It can occur anywhere."

CPT Autopilot
I was intrigued by the CPT 2 model and bought a used one in December for $200, figuring that even w/repair it probably was a good deal. I sent it to Scanmar and their CPT guy said the unit was toast and would take about a grand to fix. I balked and they sent it back.
Then I bought another used one and purchased some of the parts from Scanmar...pretty pricey, but I was willing to pay double for belts, etc. in the interest of supporting what seems to be a customer friendly business. I still have not hooked it up. I am having trouble with the J bolts, which hook on the wheel - they keep hitting my transmission lever. I tried Scanmar for assistance, but they were not helpful. My guess was that I am perceived as a low rent customer (IMO).
I did quite a bit of rersearch prior to the purchase and the units seem quite good. I agree with the business assessment made in the prior posts. Keith (their CPT guy) was a bit of a wise ass, and I did not get a warm and fuzzy feeling dealing with him.

My husband and I have a sweet little friend just like this one that comes to our back deck daily and puts her little front feet on the glass door and chirps and looks in until we give her some unsalted peanuts (because I was afraid of increasing her blood pressure with all the salt). She is just too cute.

Widespread outage hit police, fire departments
Wednesday, September 3, 2014
DOVER — Non-emergency lines to some local police and fire departments were down Sunday night due to an outage, according to local officials.
It was also reported Sunday that an issue with Fairpoint in New Hampshire, Maine and Vermont contributed to the issue, but a Fairpoint spokesperson could not confirm this on Tuesday.
"We were able to receive a 911 call and dispatch to officers in the field," Williams said, pointing out there was no disruption to emergency service nor any need to reroute 911 calls coming into the center. |

Australia warmed to the task of regaining the World Cup as they beat Fiji 34-2 on a bitterly cold night in St Helens to book their quarter-final spot.
There was never any doubt that Tim Sheens' men would make the last eight but the box can at least be ticked after a six-try win at Langtree Park.
The Kangaroos were not at their all-conquering best in beating England last week, but the two points practically assured them of top spot in Group A and an easier passage to the final, assuming they did not fluff their lines against Fiji or Ireland.
Mission number one was accomplished at Langtree Park, with a rejigged side strangling the passion so obvious in Fiji's victory over Ireland last Monday.
The fact that their changed side featured Greg Inglis at full-back, Jarryd Hayne on the wing and Daly Cherry-Evans at half-back also shows why they are the virtually unanimous choice to win the tournament, and they deserve even greater credit for their display considering it came amid some of the worst of the British weather.
The last time these two sides met was at the 2008 World Cup when Fiji were nilled in the semi-finals, and they at least made sure that would not happen again as Alipate Noilea took the opportunity to slot a sixth-minute penalty into a fierce wind.
It was certainly not the start Australia would have anticipated and as Fiji ran their lines well and strong, they found a way back difficult to come by until debutant Josh Papalii took a Cherry-Evans pass to slide over with 16 minutes gone.
Try scoring
Jonathan Thurston tagged the goal and in the familiar position of being ahead, Australia set about building a lead which brought a 20th-minute reward as Inglis produced a brilliant fend to create the space for Darius Boyd to score in the corner.
The left side was giving Australia real joy and knowing they had a weakness to exploit they went there again, with Luke Lewis dumping an offload to Inglis who delayed a pass to eventual try-scorer Michael Jennings. Unlike with the second try, Thurston defeated the conditions to convert from wide out.
The teeming rain meant that half-time was a welcome distraction - especially for Australian's iron man Paul Gallen who was uncharacteristically roughed up by Kane Evans - but the break did little to halt Australia's dominance.
With 44 minutes gone Cherry-Evans' kick was on the money, finding Hayne - previously a Fiji international - and he held it up in the tackle to give Morris the score he was denied in the first half.
A fifth try would have followed had Jennings not overcooked a pass to Boyd on the overlap, but it only delayed the inevitable as prop James Tamou punched his way down the middle and fed the supporting Cherry-Evans. Thurston kicked his fourth goal and the easiest of the night from bang in front.
The crowd - desperate for a contest - thought Fiji had scored in the 62nd minute as Jasyon Bukuya went in, but replays showed a ball-strip and boos greeted the decision - but there was unanimous applause as Lewis touched down, doing the necessary after a devastating Inglis break.
There was grave concern for Lewis soon after as he left the field after crashing into an advertising board, with that the only Australian complaint of the night.

You know the preseason is officially underway once the team heads out on the road for a few exhibition matches, and United FC is on the first trip of its spring training, a five-day jaunt to Kansas City. The trip kicked off Wednesday, as Minnesota lost to Major League Soccer side Sporting Kansas City, 2-1, in a practice, no-fans match.
The Loons - still getting used to typing that - played a first eleven for 60 minutes, then substituted an entire second eleven for the final half-hour, and it was the second 11 that got the goal. New signing Max Griffin combined with fellow new signing Etienne Barbara for a 75th minute strike, but Griffin's goal came after United had already fallen behind 2-0 to goals from Soony Saad and Yaan Songo'o.
Goals from guys with clearly fake names aside, a couple of notes on the game yesterday:
United is next in action Friday, when they will play an exhibition against the University of Missouri - Kansas City. They'll return home early Saturday.
The Loons will also make a trip to Omaha in the third week of March, where they will play exhibitions against Creighton and Hastings College, and a final trip at the end of the month for another practice match against MLS's Chicago Fire.
A few other notes:
