Swine Flu Cases Declining
By Tony McVeigh/ Paco Long-Mendez
Frankfort, KY – H1N1, or swine flu, cases in Kentucky have declined in recent weeks, but state health officials can't predict if the trend will continue. To date, swine flu has claimed at least 36 lives in the commonwealth. State Epidemiologist Dr. Kraig Humbaugh says the infectious disease remains widespread.
"Almost all activity in the state is still due to the novel h1n1 virus. We aren't seeing yet, or detecting, sustained circulating, seasonal flu activity yet. We'll let you know when that occurs."
Meanwhile, swine flu vaccine continues to arrive in Kentucky. To date, the state has been allocated enough vaccine to treat about 26-percent of the population. If you still have questions about swine flu, or seasonal flu, call the flu hotline at 877-843-7727.

Cupping hardwood
I had a leak in the ice maker line and didn't know until it was too late. I noticed last week that 6 Brazilian Cherry boards in the middle of the room are cupping very badly. We have open cell foam under the house and the water was dripping through the insulation and down the beams but not actually puddling on the floor inside.
The Cherry is 3/4" thick. Would it be better to let it dry out and sand it down as smooth as possible or take those boards out. The problem is, they go under the kitchen "L" shaped cabinets and granite.
Sorry to hear about your leak and collateral damage
The good news is hardwood can be forgiving. The narrower the boards the better the chances are for recovery. Do all that you can to dry out the area - commercial dryers, dehumidifiers -
It may take weeks before the boards settle -
Other variables are where you live, what season it is.
Cupping is not something that can be typically sanded out
good luck
Get the wood dried ASAP, use a commercial company, Serve Pro etc. The longer you wait the more compression damage to the edges. Once it is dry the floor can be sanded correctly, if needed. Do not sand before it is completely dry.
The damaged flooring can also be replaced. Matching flooring is most likely available.
It can take months (sometimes many moths, and often a heating season) for the moisture to move back out of the wood.
Do not be in any rush to try and sand.
Once the sanding is done and the wood continues to dry it will have shallow grooves sanded in.
If there is enough wood left you can sand it flat again, but watch out for running out of wood over the tongues if the wood is T&G.

"littleBits [Bits™ modules] are undoubtedly affordable pieces of physics."
John Maeda, Design Partner at Kleiner, Perkins, Caufield, Byers, former President of Rhode Island School of Design, and author of The Laws of Simplicity
"The best technologies have low floors (providing easy ways to get started), high ceilings (supporting complex projects), and wide walls (appealing to a wide variety of people). littleBits is one of the rare products that succeeds along all three dimensions. It's a construction kit for everyone — even for people who didn't think they'd be interested in construction kits."
Mitch Resnick, Head of Lifelong Kindergarten group, MIT Media Lab, LEGO Papert Professor of Learning Research
"As an enrichment educator, littleBits has taken kids to another stratosphere! littleBits truly are the intersection of engineering, art and design; mimicking the multifunctional teams that bring real-life innovations to the world. Tinkering is not just tinkering anymore, now my students can bring the ideas in their heads to life with motors, sensors, and lights! They don't even realize they are learning because they are having so much fun!!"
Erica Iannotti, from Compuchild
"Our curriculum is moving towards a more inquiry-based, integrated and competency-based focus. littleBits are an ideal teaching and learning tool to inspire creative and critical thinking across disciplines. Because of the open-ended and "maker" nature of littleBits, the materials draw in students that may not initially see themselves as future scientists, engineers or mathematicians. littleBits provide an integrated approach to STEM/STEAM content areas."
Janice Novakowski, Teacher consultant for the Richmond School District in British Columbia
"When I am invited into a classroom to share littleBits, I build a buzzer circuit and hide all but the button switch up my sleeve. When I shake the teacher's hand or give them a hug, I buzz and voilà – I've got the kids hooked! I have the students work in groups of four or five to explore the Bits and then I begin the lesson."

Winnipeg Free Press - ONLINE EDITION
Jets skate to first victory of season
WASHINGTON, D.C. — It is 2,007.4 kilometres from the U.S. capital to Winnipeg. And you can bet the Winnipeg Jets savoured every single second of their long flight home Tuesday night.
Playing their most complete game in this young 2013 NHL season, the Jets upended the Washington Capitals 4-2 in front of 18,506 at the Verizon Center. The Jets are now 1-1-1, the Caps are 0-2. In the process, the Jets exited their quick two-games-in-two-days road trip with three of a possible four points.
As the Boston boys in Good Will Hunting chirped: 'How do you like them apples?'
After the buzzer
The Jets may have stumbled all over themselves in their home opener, a 4-1 loss to Ottawa last Saturday, but discovered their game on the road over the last couple of days.
And that's no small feat.
"In Boston we really simplified things, got pucks deep and tried to work on the forecheck," said Blake Wheeler afterward. "Especially when you play teams that are loaded with talent up front, when you just simplify things and make them go the length of the rink for their scoring chances it can make for a tough night for them."
The evidence: Washington got goals from grinders Matt Hendricks and Troy Brouwer, but the Jets limited Alex Ovechkin, Nicklas Backstrom and Mike Ribiero to zero goals on just seven shots.
First Period
The Jets surrendered the first goal by Hendricks, but bounced back with power-play goals by Evander Kane and Andrew Ladd. After scoring on their first chance of the season, the Jets PP went dark for its next nine attempts before coming alive again in the first.
"We've been talking a lot about the power play," said Jets defenceman Toby Enstrom, who finished the night with three assists. "We were playing together last year and so we pretty much know each other. It's always fun to score points, but it's about winning and I'm happy to be going home to Winnipeg with three points."
Second Period
The Jets get goals from Blake Wheeler and Jim Slater and Claude Noel's tinkering with the lines looked genius.
For the record, Olli Jokinen centred Kane and Wheeler; Slater was between James Wright and Chris Thorburn; Alex Burmistrov was flanked by Mark Scheifele and Alex Ponikarovsky and Nik Antropov worked with Andrew Ladd and Bryan Little.
"We juggled the lines a little bit for (last) night's game because we felt we wanted to get some guys untracked," said Noel. "And we got some guys we wanted to get going on the board."
Third Period
Nothing fancy for the Jets, who played a clean final period to seal the deal. The Caps got a late power-play marker from Brouwer with 1:16 left, but that was just cosmetic surgery on the scoreboard.
"That's the way we want to play," said Ladd. "Our 'D' played great, they blocked a lot of shots, and we were strong defensively."

The room has a very confortable and big double bed and two bedside tables, a wardrobe, a woden table with two woden chairs, an armchair convertible to bed. The balcony has fantastic views. The house is in a quiet location in the heart of the "Barri Gòtic". It's at 15 minutes from the beach (if you walk slowly).

The Kitchen, toilet, dining room and living room is common. The bed is prepared with Sheets and duvet. Towels, soap and shampoo are included in the service.
Interaction with Guests
Guests have full freedom and have my help and recommendations if needed.
The Neighborhood
The "Barri Gòtic" is architecturally unique, full of beauty. It is a cosmopolitan neighborhood where people from all countries live in total harmony. The street is pedestrianized and although it is in the center it's very quiet. In the flat, you can not hear any cars or people, only the bells from the church of Sant Just, that is in front of the balcony of the room.
Getting around
the apartment is perfectly situated for commuting around the city. There are two different subway lines next to the house. There are bus stops and a train station to go (to nearby beach towns) too at five minutes.
The normal behavior of civilized people is required. You can not smoke in the house, but you can on the terrace. Leave the kitchen and bathroom clean after you use it.
We were treated like family at Xavis home. Great host, great location. Very helpful, friendly. Would recommend staying with Xavi!
Fint rum, vacker utsikt och perfekt läge. Nära stranden och mitt i city. Xavi är en fantastisk värd, varm och generös som ger tips om både affärer och restauranger värda ett besök. Jag har många små teckningar på hans vägbeskrivningar med mig hem. Jag kom sent efter midnatt men det var inga problem och kände mig varmt välkommen och blev bjuden på både vin och oliver när jag kom. Bodde en vecka hos Xavi och bor gärna där nästa gång jag är i Barcelona.
Xavi was a fantastic host! We had a little difficulty finding the apartment so we called Xavi and he came to meet us in the square nearby. The apartment was on the 4th floor of an amazing old house, we had access to the roof terrace which gave a great view all around. The location was perfect, a few minutes walk from Las Ramblas, Metro, and many bars and restaurants in other nearby streets. Xavi was not only a great host, he was also able to give many tips and recommendations for places to eat, transport, what line we needed on the Metro etc. Our 3 day stay in Barcelona was perfect and the info we gained from Xavi contributed in a big way.
Xavi is a very welcoming and warm host. He doesn't get in the way when you're coming and going, but was there with good recommendations for places to eat and things to visit. He was also fun to converse with in the evening after a day of exploration. If you use AirBnB as a way to connect with locals and get the inside scoop, he's your man in Barcelona.
Such a wonderful experience in Barcelona because we choose a right place to stay! Xavi is a really nice host and we are really appreciate that he gave us a little trip around the little town and the bar he recommended for us is worth to try! Every morning Xavi would prepare us cups of coffee and some cupcakes, even through the breakfast is not included here actually. The room is clean and the decoration is sweet and warm! More importantly, he helped us take the really heavy luggage upstairs and downstairs. This job is so much difficult for us two young girls!! Thank you very much!!
We stayed in the most wonderful area of barcelona in a wonderful flat with a lovely host. Xavi gave us good advice where we could find the best tapas and breakfast. He had a great roof terrace with the most wonderful view on the historical centre of barcelona. If you don't might sharing the flat and bathroom with him it's the perfect address!
We had a pleasant and enjoyable stay at this apartment in Barcelona. It is clean , comfortable and well located within walking distance to wherever we wanted to go. The metro is also very accessible and best of all the host Xavi is a very welcoming , kind and a lovely man. He is very friendly and social. It was like staying with a friend. Thank you Xavi.
We are happy to recommend this accommodation and hope to visit again soon.

We decided to stay at the Pondicherry Executive Inn after reading numerous positive reviews on Trip Advisor about the quality of the service at this establishment. We were in the hotel for less than five minutes and already had a sense that this was going to be a good experience, when the hotel owner made a point of introducing herself and her staff, and assuring us that she would be available to assist us with whatever we needed. True to her word, Beena and her staff assisted us with complicated phone and Internet set ups, train ticket purchases, shopping directions, and pretty much anything else we needed. The facility itself is beautiful, the location is superb, and the restaurant extremely convenient. We have been on the road for a month now and have stayed at many nice guest houses, but the Pondicherry Executive Inn wins the prize in service, without a doubt. Highly recommended. Thank you for an excellent experience!

text: School Library JournalGr 2-4-This book explores Lincoln's boyhood, middle years, and presidency. To the authors' credit, the text is readable and fact-laden. However, there is a tendency in the section on Lincoln's childhood to promulgate overstated myths. Is it necessary to state that "Abe would gladly walk 50 miles to borrow a new book" to get across the idea that he was a reader? Children, even the youngest readers, should not be subjected to florid writing when facts stated simply will do. The writing improves as it moves along in history, perhaps because the authors had more definitive information with which to work. The illustrations are well done in both content and placement. The maps, photographs, and drawings, in black and white and in color, extend the text and will satisfy the natural curiosity of young readers.-Barbara Buckley, Rockville Centre Public Library, NY Copyright 2001 Cahners Business Information.

Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia: Unfavorable Trends Make Her A Sell
Thu, Feb. 12 • MSO • 8 Comments
- Time Use Survey of American's time spent on both interior and exterior repair, maintenance and decoration has been in decline the last 10 years now.
- Martha Stewart's very rightly named company and magazine, "Living," is becoming less a part of American culture..
- Martha Stewart brand and products are of the highest quality in my judgment, but they have not translated into higher profits..

McCall praises want-away Ashton
ESPNscrum Staff
January 6, 2012
Chris Ashton crosses the line for England © Getty Images
Saracens director of rugby Mark McCall has praised England star Chris Ashton amid reports he is on the verge of swapping Franklin's Gardens for Vicarage Road.
The Saints winger has reportedly refused to discuss terms on a new contract with Northampton with his current deal expiring at the end of the current season. And with Sarries apparently keen on tying down the 24-year-old on a deal to bring him to the Aviva Premiership champions, McCall has gone out of his way to lay praise at the door of the winger.
McCall, however, has refused to comment on whether they have offered contract to the former rugby league star but has conceded that they will look to make minimal changes to their playing squad ahead of next season.
"He's [Ashton] an outstanding rugby player as everybody knows," McCall told the Watford Observer. "He's one of the best finishers in England. He's young and is going to get better and better but we're linked with a lot of players and when there is news to tell you about any signings we will let you know.
"I think we're very fortunate. We've got the vast majority of our squad [tied up to contracts] and we want to keep the group together for a period of time. We don't intend to chop and change much. We had to a couple of years ago and we're pretty well settled. We've got a small bit of business to do but not much."

NASA: New Mars Rover By 2020 79
from the but-i-want-it-now dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
The biggest Government expenses are Medicare and the interest on the current debt - a lot of that debt is because of two very expensive useless wars. We could eliminate NASA completely and it would have a negligible effect on the US budget.
Then there's the social costs which Neil DeGrasse Tyson has explained better than I ever could.
Yeah, yeah yeah - Taxed Enough Already - blah blah blah. And I'm a tax and spend dreamer who still remembers when we, the US, sent people to the Moon and little kids wanted to be astronauts and not stupid things like: Wall Street parasites, ball players, hip hop stars or some other type of entertainer.
It's more cost effective if they make it to their destination. Keep in mind we are still at the "will it explode?" and "if it doesn't explode, will it avoid crashing?" and "if it doesn't crash, will it keep working?" part of the technology. So if the Mars rover works out, that's great, and in fact is a valuable enough confirmation to justify trying to do something similar again.
But it's really better right now to have each rover be a stepping stone to the next. The sort of answers Curiosity gives us will tell us the sort of questions we want to design the next rover to resolve.
As a country, the US stopped giving a shit a very long time ago.
The U.S. general public has never cared about space exploration; the public has only cared about beating someone else. Want to get a team of U.S. astronauts on Mars by 2019? Convince the Chinese government to announce to the world that they intend to land humans on Mars by 2020.
I guarantee you that if the Chinese said they planned to establish permanent settlements on Mars in ten years, the U.S. government would move Heaven and Earth to get us there sooner, and they would succeed. Getting to Mars is easy. Convincing the bureaucrats that it is more important than building their little war machines to blow up countries with oil is hard.

I keep pondering why I can't get completely comfortable at this hotel and I can only assume it's because I am Goldilocks and things have to be just right.
We drove awhile reading reviews for various Best Westerns looking for one worth taking a chance on. There is one I loved that is closer to the Delaware line (I reviewed it last year), but we finally hit on this place before we got there so we read the reviews, which were way more good than bad, and decided the bad was just personal, one-time experiences you can't hold against a hotel.
It was after 10 at night and dark, but we were glad to see we were passing some good restaurants and stores. The street we had to turn on at first looked like a dead end. It took a second to notice the hotel sign, so quiet location this really is, as someone else said in a review. After my husband checked us in, we saw a Pizza Hut delivery happening and asked the woman about it. She took our order right there and let me talk to the cashier so I could give her my credit card number. That was very cool of them and I count that as a positive for Pizza Hut as well as the hotel.
There is lots of tile in the hotel - that's good - and the clerk was friendly. We looked hard at the room. My son even checked the drawers, a la one of the poor reviews we read. It was all good. The chairs at the table were clean and stain free. The bedskirts looked good too, though I didn't look TOO hard there. But that's part of where my eyes go in hotels. So what is my problem? The bed. I hate firm beds and some reviews said the beds are firm but ours weren't. We were on the too soft side of things. Someone mentioned the hard edges of the bed making it uncomfortable to sit on. That was true for the bed my husband and I had. It was then too soft in the middle and it felt like I was rolling toward the center. My husband agreed. Maybe they need to flip the mattress? I sat on my kids' bed and theirs was better. Hey BW, check out room 320, the bed next to the wall, will ya?
Breakfast was as uninspired as the reviews said. Bathroom was big, though I noticed a hair in the corner of the tub. The "clean remote" was a nice idea but no one knew for sure if the stain we saw on it was there before we touched it or not. My husband said he didn't have anything on his hands. These are the kinds of things that make me squirm but the bed is mainly why I am uncomfortable. The bed killed the room for me. Too bad.

Statement posted on the Twickenham Film Studios website:
6 June 2012 Statement by Gerald M Krasner of Begbies Traynor, joint administrator of Twickenham Film Studios Ltd:
"The joint administrators are pleased to announce that following the re-marketing of the Studios, a successful bidder has been found. Sixty-two confidentiality letters were sent out, of which 21 were returned, and these all received sales packs.
"A number of offers were received and on Friday, 1 June 2012, contracts were exchanged with a third party to acquire the Studios as a going concern, retaining all of the staff. A 10% deposit has been paid to the joint administrators' solicitors and it is envisaged that completion will take place later this year. At this stage, the purchaser wishes to remain anonymous and further details will be released after completion."
Any party requiring further details should contact Gerald Krasner on 07836 607 782 or email firstname.lastname@example.com
Mystery bidder pulls out at the last minute!
Today it was announced that the mystery bidder has pulled out of the deal with their identity still under wraps. Gerald Krasner, of Begbies Traynor, joint administrator of Twickenham Film Studios, said he could not say why the company had pulled out, but he could confirm it was not for financial reasons.
The purchaser had put forward a £100,000 deposit, which it has lost, and Mr Krasner has said the money would be used to help maintain the site as it is.
Mr Krasner was adamant the studios would not be sold for property development, which was previously feared by campaign group, Save Twickenham Film Studios (STFS).
Mr Krasner said: "If I believe something, I will go on the record and say it and I am confident that a sale will be made, ultimately keeping it as studios."
The exclusivity period for the purchase of the site ended on Wednesday, May 23, and the potential purchaser pulled out on Friday, May 18.
Mr Krasner said: "The aim is now to remarket the business to all those who have previously expressed an interest in the site and business."
The joint administrators have prepared a sales pack that will be issued to any interested party on completion of a confidentiality statement. There are 45 bidders for the site.
Is this too good to be true?
Within a few days of Taylor Wimpey withdrawing their bid for the studio an anonymous bidder has stepped into the arena from nowhere and handed over a cool non refundable £100K as a down payment on the condition that they complete by the 23rd May. We are told that they want to keep it as a studio, which is great but why all the secrecy?
If you are the bidder and you are following our website please make contact. We will guarantee your anonymity if you are genuinely intent on maintaining the site as a film studio.
In the meantime, as we do not have any assurances I suggest that the campaign does not lose momentum. Continue to spread the word and protest. We've won the first battle but the war is most definitely not over!
We have no time to waste!
Twickenham Film studios has gone into administration and word has it that property developers are moving in.
Please sign our petition to help stop the developers in their tracks!! We don't need more executive homes!
Twickenham has been at the forefront of the British film industry for 99 years - let's help it make to 100 and beyond. Spread the word.... Re-tweet and post on your Facebook. We need to get this out to as many people as possible. Films like The Iron Lady, War Horse, Ghandi, Italian Job, Shirley Valentine, Help, Hard Day's Night, An American Werewolf in London and many many more have been made here. It's a National Treasure!!

Official Statement from Mr Krasner
On 19th April 2012 a creditors meeting was held at the Studios, at which all the proposals put forward by the joint administrators, including those for a CVA were approved by the requisite majority of creditors. Discussions were also held with the proposed purchaser who was having a meeting with the local Council and following that meeting it became apparent that there were problems in getting the appropriate change of use unless there was a general marketing campaign to sell the site for the continuing use as studios. Since that date the joint administrators have had discussions with two interested parties and on Tuesday 24th April, 2012 an agreement was reached with the higher bidder whereby they paid a non-returnable deposit of £100,000 to buy a period of exclusivity for four weeks, during which exchange of contracts will take place. The joint administrators can confirm that this deposit has been received but the new proposed purchaser has requested anonymity until such time as the contracts have been exchanged. it is the purchaser`s intention to continue to trade as studios and to preserve all the jobs. Please contact administrator Gerald Krasner at Begbies Traynor on Mbl: 07836-607782 with any queries on this press release.
Mr Krasner 24th April
'I have done a deal with an un-named party that will allow the property to continue as a film studio. The party has paid an non-returnable 100K deposit. Name of party to be announced on exchange, expected to be 4 weeks'
Let's not get too excited until we know the deal.
We thought you might like to know this.
Gerald Krasner promised a press release next week but spoke to us just before the Creditors' meeting.
He revealed that the owners of the Studios "had not necessarily marketed" it in the first place as a film studios but as valuable land for development, worth millions more.
He told us the people who own the Studios are "not UK residents" and want to get the maximum amount for the site, regardless of the views of Richmond Council and local residents - "the owners don't care if it is kept as film Studios", he said, acknowledging that this might be "morally repugnant."
He gave an example where, if he could sell for twice as much "to people the locals don't like" that's what he would do. Incidentally he has put the cost of the land, flattened for development,at as much as £9 million - but acknowleges that - as Studios - the site is worth a few millions less.
David Brown, Regional Land and Planning Director for Taylor Wimpey, says:
"We have engaged with the owners and a number of stakeholders, including professionals from the film industry, in regard to the Twickenham Film Studios site.
A number of opportunities to redevelop the site have been explored with the understanding that Twickenham Film Studios was not viable in its current form. We have recently been advised that a number of potential bids have come forward to run the studios as a going concern. Should these bids be successful we consider this to be the most preferable option. As a responsible developer who is committed to working with the local community and stakeholders, we have decided to formally withdraw our bid for this site."
Taylor Wimpey back off!
Good news people. Taylor Wimpey have withdrawn their bid! On Monday, the latest member of our team Lynn Faulds Wood met with the CEO Pete Redfern and explained our case. He said that TW would hold back and give the studios a chance to run as a viable company and true to his word it was announced at the creditors meeting that Wimpey were pulling out for the meantime at least. We also had a meeting with the Administrator who informed us that he is issuing a press release next week. So we've done the easy bit, now we have to get those bidders pouring through the door. In the meantime Twickenham's doors are open for bookings so book early to avoid disappointment!
Postponement of protest scheduled for 19th April
Because the Chairman of Taylor Wimpey has said he will back off if there is a genuine bid to keep it as a film studio we have decided to delay the protest until we have more information. No contracts are going to be exchanged this week as we were told. But we are meeting with Gerald Krasner the administrator. If anyone is experienced in this field and would like to give us advice on what to ask please do feel free to drop us a line.
A letter of support from Michael Attenborough on behalf of his sick father
"My father, Richard has a long standing association with Twickenham Film Studio which goes back many decades. He cares passionately about the studio, and if he were well enough he would undoubtedly be out there spearheading the campaign and asking questions in The House of Lords. The world of cinema cannot afford to lose the oldest film studio in the country which is respected worldwide. David Cameron and George Osborne have recently stated how important the film industry is to the UK economy. On behalf of my father I urge them both to demonstrate this by asking why such a barbarous act of cultural vandalism could be about to happen?"
Michael Attenborough
Jeremy Hunt even gives Vince Cable the brush off!
In a letter to Vince Cable, Jeremy Hunt writes: "due to an increasing workload as the 2012 Olympics approaches, the Department is unable to offer anyone a meeting to discuss the matter."
So if Mr Hunt wouldn't mind having a quick word with Krasner the administrator and Taylor Wimpey and tell them to back off until after the Olympics I'm sure he would then be all ears!
Next stage in campaign: Write to this man!
Richmond Council are being brilliant! I know we are not use to hearing statements like this but they are taking a very strong line with Taylor Wimpey. If you want to reinforce their policy please write to Mr Peter Redfern their chief executive officer. Don't email because it bounces back, so do it the old fashioned way and put pen to paper and tell him that Wimpey are not wanted in where Twickenham Studios currently reside. Click on the link below to see what the council are saying. Wimpey will get the message.
