It's been many months now since CBS cancelled Ghost Whisperer. Many fans of the TV show are still shocked and upset about the cancellation and series star Jennifer Love Hewitt can sympathize.
In a recent interview with Zap2it, Hewitt revealed that she bought into the rumors that ABC might pick it up and talked about Ghost Whisperer's abrupt end. She said, "For me, it was a total shock… I thought our next season probably would be the last, just because the show had been on for a really long time. It's hard to come up with new things that will keep people intrigued, but I never thought in a million years that was going to have been our last season.."
Hewitt also expressed sadness about the fact that the story of Melinda Gordon was left unfinished. She noted, "I didn't feel the series ended the way that [Melinda] deserved for it to. We left the audience sort of hanging, and I hate that. When you've taken people on a journey for so long, the least you can do is give them a goodbye. For a show that was about unfinished business, we didn't get to finish."
What do you think? What "unfinished business" bothers you the most about the show? How would you have ended Ghost Whisperer?

Information You Manually Provide. We collect the information, including PII, you manually provide (using your keyboard, touchpad, and/or mouse) when you use our Website. At various places on the Website, we may request certain PII, such as your name, phone number, email, billing address, and shipping address. You may choose to provide PII to access or use certain features or services of the Website, such as making a purchase, registering on the Website, entering a contest or sweepstakes, filling out a survey, or providing Feedback. Where possible, we indicate which fields of information are required and which fields are optional. You can always choose not to provide information, but you may not be able to use a particular service or feature on the Website.
Information From Third-Party Social Media Platforms. You may be able to register with, log on to, or enhance your profile on our Website by choosing to automatically populate the requested data fields with information you previously provided to a third-party social media platform. By doing this, you are asking the third-party platform to send us information from your profile on that platform. We treat that information as we do any other information you give to us when you register, log on, or enhance your profile.
Information Sent to Us by Your Web Browser. We collect information that is sent to us automatically by your web browser. It typically includes your IP address, the address of the web page you were visiting when you accessed our Website, the name of your operating system, the name and version of your browser, and the date and time of your visit. The information we receive depends on the settings on your web browser. Please check your browser if you want to learn what information your browser sends or how to change your settings. We use this information to improve the Content and functionality of this Website, and to better understand and serve our visitors. The information we receive from your web browser does not, in and of itself, identify you personally. However, we may combine it with other information in an attempt to identify you or we may combine it with information that does identify you.
Information from your mobile or tablet device. Likewise, if you download one of our mobile or tablet applications or access our Website through your mobile or tablet device, we may automatically collect certain information from or about your device.

Information Collected Using "Cookies" and Other Web Technologies. Most websites use "cookies" and/or similar technologies to place information about a user's visit to that website in a small data text file that is stored on the user's computer. Some browsers automatically accept cookies, but you may be able to configure your browser to prevent the use of cookies. Crocs may use cookies to make our services available or easier for you to use. For instance, we may use cookies to store preferences or items in your shopping cart between visits. PII may be among the types of information stored in a cookie. For example, if you choose the "remember me" option when logging on, we may store your email address in a cookie to expedite your future log-ons. We may also use cookies for the purpose of delivering "first party" advertisements to you.
Acceptance of cookies is not a requirement to browse our Website, however certain features and services may require the use of cookies to work properly, including our shopping cart and check-out features. If you would like to place an order on our Website without the use of cookies, please email Customer Service.
In addition to cookies, we may also use "web beacons" and other web technologies to manage our Website and email. A web beacon is a small bit of computer code. Web beacons may be used to count how many people visit a web page or tell us whether an email has been opened. We may link the information we collect using web beacons and other web technologies to PII.
More Information On "First Party" Advertising
First-party advertising works this way: When you visit our Website, we may deliver a cookie to your browser. When you leave our Website and travel elsewhere on the Internet, we may use the cookie to recognize you as someone who has visited our Website, to assume that you are interested in our products, and to deliver an advertisement to you that promotes our products. Although we may work with a vendor to deliver and read our first-party cookies and to serve advertisements on our behalf, our vendors may not use these first-party cookies to recognize you as someone who may be interested in the goods/services of the vendors' other clients.
You can opt out of first-party advertising by clicking here . When you do, we will deliver an "opt-out" cookie to your browser. When you visit our Website in the future, the opt-out cookie will tell us that you have opted out of Crocs' cookies for first-party targeted advertisements.
Please note that the opt-out cookie will only prevent delivery of first-party advertising cookies. First-party cookies are different than third-party cookies. Third-party cookies track your online behaviors across nonaffiliated websites for the purpose of delivering targeted advertisements not only for Crocs but for a variety of other companies. To learn more about online behavioral advertising and the choices you have about the delivery of third-party cookies, read the next section.
Cookies Delivered by Third Parties
In addition to the cookies we deliver to your computer through our Website, certain third parties may deliver cookies to you for a variety of reasons. For example, we use Google Analytics, a web analytics tool that helps us understand how visitors engage with our Website. To learn more about Google Analytics, click here. Other third parties may deliver cookies to your computer for the purpose of tracking your online behaviors across nonaffiliated websites and delivering targeted advertisements either on our Website or on other websites.
You have choices about the collection of information by third parties on our Website. For example, if you don't want information about your visit to our Website sent to Google Analytics, you may download an Opt-out Browser Add-on by clicking here. Please note that the Add-on does not prevent information from being sent to Crocs.
In addition, if you would like to opt-out of having interest-based information collected by certain entities during your visits to our Website or other websites, please click here. You will be directed to an industry-developed website that contains mechanisms for choosing whether each listed entity may collect and use data for online behavioral advertising purposes. It may be that some of the third parties that collect interest-based information on our Website do not participate in the industry-developed opt-out website, in which case the best way to avoid third-party tracking of your online behaviors may be through your browser settings and deletion of cookies.

- to provide you with effective customer service;

More information on how we use PII collected as part of a contest or promotion. When you enter a contest or other promotion, we may ask you for certain PII to administer the contest, send you promotional emails, notify winners and make the winners' list publicly available (pursuant to applicable law). Your consent to such promotional use and disclosure of this information generally is a condition of your participation. In cases where the contest or promotional offer is co-branded with or sponsored by another party, we may share your information with that party. Entering such contests and providing the required PII is solely your choice; you do not need to provide such information or enter such contests to browse this Website.
Your Choices
You have choices about what information we collect and how we use and share it. We try to make these choices available in a meaningful way and many of them are described elsewhere in this Policy. Here are some of your choices:
- At the time you provide your contact information, we typically offer you a choice as to whether you receive promotional communications from us. You can also remove your email address from our marketing list at any time either by sending an email to firstname.lastname@example.com with "Opt-out" in the subject line or by clicking on the "unsubscribe" link in any promotional email we send you.
- As discussed above, you can choose whether you receive cookies delivered through this Site.
- Please Note: In cases where a contest or promotional offer is co-branded with or sponsored by another party, your participation may be conditioned on our ability to share your information with that party. In such circumstances, if you do not want us to share your information with our co-sponsor, you should not participate in the contest or promotion.
- At the time you provide your contact information, we typically offer you a choice as to whether you receive promotional communications from us. You can also remove your email address from our marketing list at any time either by sending an email to email@example.com with "Opt-out" in the subject line or by clicking on the "unsubscribe" link in any promotional email we send you.
Steps We Take to Safeguard your Information
We maintain reasonable administrative, physical and technological measures to protect the confidentiality and security of information you submit on or through our Website in accordance with applicable legislation and regulations. For example, when collecting credit card information for online purchases, we offer secured-service transactions that encrypt your information in transit to thwart others from intercepting or misusing it.
Unfortunately, no website, server, or database is completely secure or "hacker proof." We therefore cannot guarantee that your PII will not be disclosed, misused or lost by accident or by the unauthorized acts of others. Further, we cannot control dissemination of PII contained in User-Generated Content you post on or through our Website, and you should have no expectation of privacy in such information.
How Does Crocs Share the Information it Receives?
Crocs may share the AAI and/or PII submitted on or through this Website in the following ways:
Third–Party Service Providers. Crocs shares information collected through this Website with third-party service providers who act for or on its behalf. For example, we may use third-party vendors to design, operate, and/or host our Website; to conduct surveys; and to help us with our promotional efforts. These third parties may need information about you to perform their functions. Typically, third-party service providers who receive PII are bound by contract to use it only on our behalf. However, some of our service providers, such as our advertising partners, are permitted to collect AAI through our Website and use that AAI in connection with providing services to nonaffiliated third parties. For more information about behavioral advertising, see the "Cookies Delivered by Third Parties" section above.
Other Users of This Website. The User-Generated Content you submit on or through our Website is available to others who visit our Website. Any PII contained in User-Generated Content you submit can be read, collected, or used by others, and could be used to send you unsolicited messages. In addition, we may use User-Generated Content you submit on or through our Website for advertising campaigns and other promotions. We may or may not use your name in connection with such use, and we may or may not seek your consent before using the User-Generated Content for such purposes. Therefore, you should have no expectation of privacy with respect to User-Generated Content you submit on or through our Website. You should not submit any User-Generated Content you do not wish to make available to the general public, and you must take special care to make sure your submissions comply with our Terms of Use. In particular, your submissions must not violate the privacy or other rights of others.
Third-Party Social Media Platforms. We may provide functionality on our Website that allows you to automatically post information about the actions you take on our Website to a third-party social media platform. If you choose to take advantage of this functionality, people with access to your profile on the third-party platform may be able to see the actions you have taken—for example, the items you have purchased. Thus, you should have no expectation of privacy in those actions. Further, if you choose to link your profile on our Website with an account on a third-party social media platform, we may share the information in your profile with that third-party platform.
Affiliates and Subsidiaries. We may share your information with our affiliates and subsidiaries for their own marketing purposes. Before doing so, however, we may offer you the opportunity to "opt out" or "opt in" as required by applicable law.
Business Partners. From time to time, we may share your information with selected third parties (other than our service providers, affiliates, or subsidiaries) for their own marketing purposes. For example, in cases where a contest or promotional offer is co-branded with or sponsored by another party, your participation may be conditioned on our ability to share your information with that party. In such circumstances, if you do not want us to share your information with our co-sponsor, you should not participate in the contest or promotion.
Business Negotiations. We may contemplate, for strategic or other reasons, selling, buying, merging, or otherwise reorganizing one or more of our businesses. In negotiating with a third party about entering into such an arrangement, we may need to disclose your information. In such cases, we will take reasonable measures to protect the information we disclose, for example, by requiring a prospective purchaser to sign a non-disclosure agreement limiting the use and protecting the confidentiality of the information.
Business Transfers. We may transfer the information you submit on or through our Website to any organization that acquires or merges with us.
Compliance With Laws and Protection of Our Rights and the Rights of Others. Crocs may be obligated to cooperate with various law enforcement inquiries. Crocs reserves the right to share or transfer your information to comply with a legal requirement and to disclose any activities or information about you to law enforcement or other government officials as we, in our sole discretion, determine necessary or appropriate, in connection with an investigation of fraud, for the administration of justice, intellectual property infringements, or other activity that is illegal or may expose us or you to legal liability.
As Described in a Privacy Notice. We reserve the right to disclose your information as described in any privacy notice posted on a page of our Website where you provide that information. By providing your information on that page you will be consenting to the disclosure of your information as described in that privacy notice.
As Described in a Click–Through Agreement. We reserve the right to disclose your information as described in any click–through agreement to which you have agreed.
Links to Other Sites
This Privacy Policy applies only to our Website. You may visit other websites, through links on our Website, which may collect, use and share your PII or AAI in accordance with their own privacy policies. The information practices of those websites linking from or to our Website are not covered by this Privacy Policy, and we encourage you to be very cautious before you disclose your PII to others. If you register for Crocs on another website or use a website providing a service for Crocs, that website may provide PII or AAI about you and your transactions back to Crocs.
Accessing and Updating Your Information
You always have the opportunity to review and change the information you provide to us by logging into the Website and entering in the new information yourself. You can edit your name, contact information and preferences by logging into the "My Account" section of the site.

Privacy Policy Changes

Your use of our Website following any such change constitutes your agreement that all information collected from or about you through the Website after the revised Privacy Policy is posted will be subject to the terms of the revised Privacy Policy.
To alert you to these changes, we will provide a notice at the top of this Privacy Policy for at least 30 days after the new effective date. Unless the change is a minor change (such as a change in our contact information) or a non-substantive change (such as the reformatting of our Privacy Policy), we will also post notices (a) on our home page and/or on the relevant pages of our Website and (b) on any notice providing highlights of this Privacy Policy for 30 days after the new effective date to alert you to the change.
From time to time, for example, because of changes in the law or technology or the way we operate our business, we may ask your permission to use the information we have collected from you in new or different ways. We will do this by sending you a notice by email at the last email address you provided us, asking you to agree to the change. If you do not expressly agree to the change, we may, at our discretion, delete all or some of your PII from our databases to avoid using your information in ways to which you have not consented.
You may access the current version of this Privacy Policy at any time by clicking on the link marked "Privacy Policy" at the bottom of each page of our Website.

I bought these shoes about two months ago to wear to work. I work in the food service industry so the slip resistant feature is a must, however after a few weeks of moderate use the tread on the bottom began to separate from the rest of the shoe. I would not recommend these shoes to anyone who doesn't like throwing money down the drain.

Comments about Crocs Mercy Work:
These are not wide like most crocs and run slightly large. I wear a size smaller. I'm very overweight and the soles of these shoes still look new after a year and a half. In addition, the inside has not really lost noticeable shape like my crocs clogs and sandals did after the same amount of time. These are snug when I put them on in the morning but then mold to my foot and keep me very comfortable. I work 9-11 hour days on hard floors. My feet sweat in them but the shoes don't retain any smell. The only trouble I've had is the design band on the top came unglued on one shoes but it was an easy fix.

I would not recommend these shoes to anyone who doesn't like throwing money down the drain.

Comments about Crocs Mercy Work:
Absolutely fantastic, glorious, and the best shoe I could have bought to work in. I'll start off my saying that I'm a 20 year old who sadly has been diagnosed with Sciatica in my left hip. No matter what shoe, insole etc. that I tried, nothing worked. I'd always be in pain after work to the point that I'd be limping. So i finally stumbled across these beauties and took a chance. I was skeptical at first but geez, I put these to the test. As soon as they arrived in the mail I was scheduled to work 7 days in a row. There were 8 hour shifts, back to back closing and opening shifts and I work in the restaurant business so I was constantly on my feet, moving around. What do you know?! Nothing. No pain, no limping, no medicine to be taken. Fast forward to 4 months later and they're still doing me right. I recommend these to anyone looking for an incredibly comfortable and durable shoe. Ordered these in a size 8 and they fit true to size. They're also roomy so if you have wide feet or like your shoes loose than these are good as well. The only thing I don't like is there aren't any holes in the shoe so my foot does get sweaty. With all the other awesome benefits with the shoe, I can't really complain and with my job it's a requirement to have closed toed shoes.
Comments about Crocs Mercy Work:
My first pair of crocs were great and so comfortable and lasted well over a year. Now my second and third pair of Mercy work crocs are coming apart and have not even had them a month. On the second pair the band that runs across the front top came apart on one side and the bottom also started to come apart. Did not have the receipt so could not try to return them. On the third pair the band starting coming apart on both sides and am bringing those back today to see what the store says. I just cannot believe the poor quality of these shoes and that two pair have fallen apart so soon after getting them. I love how comfortable they are but may have to find another shoe after all this.
Comments about Crocs Mercy Work:
VERY narrow width. If you wear wide then don't buy these. They run narrow and the size also runs small. I wear a 9 in regular crocks and can't get my foot in these in a size 9. Have to return them.

Comments about Crocs Mercy Work:
OMG, I Purchased this shoe with the silver band across it from Shoe Dept and I was hesitant about the shoe, of course I heard great reviews about Crocs shoes from a male Coworker. So I thought what the heck what do I have to lose but $35 on sale. As I was checking out the shoe rung up $5, the Cashier had a strange look on her face of disbelief and so did I. I asked her was this prank, she stated no. I purchased the cheerfully purchased the shoes and wore the to work the same night and haven't thought about wearing tennis shoes to work. I let a a Coworker try them on and she raved about them and I informed her of the shocking price and she thought I was lying until I showed her the receipt. I went back to the store to return a pair of sandels that I purchased that ran small and ran across another pair of the same crocs in a much smaller size and purchased them for whatever Coworker that could wear them. The Manager was on duty this day and netherless to say she was upset and stated someone wasn't doing their job, the markdown shouldn't went from $35 to $5, I agreed with her because this was a big loss. Just imagine all the Customers that purchased the shoes prior to myself for $5. Since then I've become a Croc shoe lover and would highly reccommend Crocs regardless of price if you're on your feet alot. Needless to say 1 Coworker ordered her a pair of Crocs and plans on continue ordering them.

Comments about Crocs Mercy Work:
I am a server and used to have achey feet from working long hours on my feet. I have had a pair of these for about a year and a half and my only complaint is that the pattern part started peeling off with in a week of having these shoes. it is finally time for me to get a new pair after a year a half because the slip resistance part has ripped off. good deal and very comfortable.
Comments about Crocs Mercy Work:
I purchased these Crocs in the White with the Silver Trim - Which are no longer an option for review, but they are the same as the Black ones with Silver trim only in White. I LOVE them for the Comfort. I am on my feet all day and on concrete too. I was wearing the Crocs rubber boots which are super great for keeping my feet dry, but as far as being on my feet all day, not so great. These on the other hand are SUPER!! I would have given them 5 stars but by the end of day one, the Silver trim had fallen off. I am sure I can just re-glue it and it will be fine. The shoes look just fine without the trim also. If you are looking for comfortable shoes, you have found them!! They run wide, but not any wider than is explained in the size guide. I have wide feet (Size D) so they are super great for me. I wear a size 7 in women's, so I purchased a size 38 in these Crocs. I would repurchase them again, if I needed too! In fact, I have sent the link to a friend who is a Vet Tech and expressed discomfort at the end of the day with her feet.
Comments about Crocs Mercy Work:
Would highly recommend for health care worker. light weight with enough room for your feet to expand during a 12h shift. you can safely bleach them to keep the germs away.

Airport Express "disconnects" from PC after some time
by ezatnova - 11/20/12 3:56 AM
I have an Airport Express set up to receive music from iTunes and play on my receiver. I have two machines linked to the AE, my laptop, and my desktop. My laptop never has an issue. It linked to the AE when first set up, and it "sees" it any time I would like it to.
However, all of my music is housed on my desktop. The desktop will see the AE and function fine with the AE when the PC is first booted up. Then, in anywhere between 15 minutes and a day, the AE will disappear from iTunes (grayed out) and the only way to fix this is to reboot the PC. As soon as the computer is restarted, iTunes sees the AE again just fine, until it "forgets" it again whenever it feels like.
When it is not seen by iTunes, the AE Utility on the PC also does not see any AE units (however, if I load AE Utility on my laptop, it sees it just fine)
Any thoughts on how I can look into fixing this?

|Introduction | Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 12-50mm f/3.5-6.3 EZ | Panasonic LUMIX G X VARIO PZ 14-42mm / F3.5-5.6 ASPH. / POWER O.I.S. | Panasonic Leica Summilux DG 25mm f/1.4 | Panasonic Leica DG Macro-Elmarit 45mm F2.8 ASPH OIS | Olympus M. Zuiko Digital ED 45mm f/1.8
The Olympus M.ZUIKO DIGITAL ED 12-50mm f/3.5-6.3 EZ is the latest kit zoom from Olympus. The equivalent of 24-100mm on 24x36, this 12-50mm is both tropicalized and motorized, and is boxed together with the latest Olympus camera, the OM-D E-M5.
While waiting for the DxOMark results for this camera, here are some results for this lens when mounted on a couple of other micro 4/3 cameras — in particular, the Panasonic GH2, whose results in principle should be quite close to those of the OM-D E-M5.
People who love zooming in when shooting video will appreciate being able to vary the zoom speed … and how very quiet the motorization is. (The motorization can be deactivated and thus videographers and photographers can have a traditional zoom ring at their disposal, as they prefer).
As for image quality, the DxOMark results will give a good idea of what people can expect from this new lens. Right off the bat, we can say that this simply isn't a bright lens at all — certainly the 12-50mm's biggest weak point, especially for a lens being sold at the non-negligeable price of $499. Combined with a micro 4/3 sensor — smaller than those for APS-C and full-frame cameras — and you will likely have some difficulty in obtaining high-quality photos in low-light with this lens.
Having said all this, let's look at the standalone lab results for the Olympus M.ZUIKO DIGITAL ED 12-50mm f/3.5-6.3.
No surprises here: the DxOMark score of 10 for this lens is comparable to that of other consumer kit lenses.
|Strong points
|Weak points
|Satisfactory sharpness, uniform at at f/8, maximum in the center at 12mm f/3.5
|Tolerable chromatic aberrations, except in the corners at 12mm
|Good vignetting for this kind of zoom lens
|Not a bright lens
|Satisfactory control of distortion
The Olympus and Panasonic DxOMark overall scores are identical, with very close individual metrics scores. But the Nikon 1 zoom is three points behind with a DxOMark score of 7 points, mostly due to two criteria: better resolution for both the Olympus and Panasonic lenses, but also a superior low-light sensor score for the Olympus PEN EPL2 camera. (Take a look at the sensor comparison: Olympus PEN EPL2 vs Nikon 1 V1.)
The advantages of the Olympus M.ZUIKO DIGITAL ED 12-50mm f/3.5-6.3 EZ:
The advantages of the Panasonic LUMIX G X VARIO PZ 14-42mm / F3.5-5.6 ASPH. / POWER O.I.S.:
The advantages of the Nikon 1 NIKKOR VR 10-30mm f/3.5-5.6:
The Olympus M.ZUIKO DIGITAL ED 12-50mm f3.5-6.3 EZ has the same optical quality as Panasonic LUMIX G X VARIO PZ 14-42mm / F3.5-5.6 ASPH. / POWER O.I.S., providing users of micro 4/3 cameras (with their smaller sensors) with a richer array of choices.
In addition to tropicalization and a motorized zoom ring for video, this latest Olympus lens shows good control of distortion and vignetting, making it a good choice for adventurous photographers. For other photographers… well, the very nice Panasonic kit lens gives pause: for $100 less, you get slightly better optical performance (especially in terms of resolution) and significantly better compactness. This said, if you prefer using classic focusing rings, you'll want the Olympus lens, since the Panasonic doesn't have them.
Results for the Olympus 12-50mm lens on the Olympus OM-D E-M5 will be available shortly. (See also this review of the Panasonic LUMIX G X VARIO PZ 14-42mm / F3.5-5.6 ASPH. / POWER O.I.S.)

The H-1 liquid-fuel rocket engine was the first stage power plant for the Saturn 1 and Saturn 1B launch vehicles, the precursors to the Saturn V which took men to the Moon in the Apollo program. The Saturn 1 and Saturn 1B were each fitted with eight H-1 engines in their first stages. The engine uses RP-1 (kerosene) and liquid oxygen for this model's 188,000 pounds of thrust.
The H-1 was evolved directly from Army Ballistic Missile Agency projects, specifically the Jupiter and Juno V. With the approval of the Apollo Project, the Juno V was re-designated the Saturn. The successful launches of the Saturn 1 and Saturn 1B led the way to the Saturn V. The Saturn 1, with its eight H-1's, first flew on October 27, 1961, while the last Saturn 1B was flown on July 15, 1975, for the Apollo-Soyuz Test Project.
NASA transferred this H-1 engine to the Smithsonian Institution in 1980.
Transferred from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration

City of Fountain Valley - Police Department
On July 2, 2012 at 2:50 pm the Fountain Valley Police Department responded to a call of suspicious circumstances at 17330 Brookhurst. The reporting party said there was a vehicle at that location with a hose connected to the vehicle in an unusual manner. The reporting party described the suspicious vehicle as a Chevy Avalanche and said it was occupied by a female adult. Officers arrived on scene at saw the vehicle leave southbound on Brookhurst. Officers attempted a vehicle stop but the Avalanche failed to yield. The Avalanche entered the northbound 405 freeway from Brookhurst and still failed to yield. As a result officers pursued the Avalanche north on the 405 freeway. The Fountain Valley Police Department believed the safety of the driver of the Avalanche was in jeopardy as well as the safety of others whom would come into contact with her, therefore officers continued to pursue. We requested the assistance from the Huntington Beach Police Department Air Bureau. HB1 (HBPD Helicopter) joined the pursuit a short time later. As the pursuit continued north on the 405 freeway the Fountain Valley Police Department asked the California Highway Patrol to assume the pursuit, which they did. FVPD officers continued to monitor the pursuit until it concluded in Culver City. The female driver of the Avalanche was taken into custody by the CHP and turned over to FVPD. The CHP is handling traffic collision reports that occurred during the course of the pursuit. The Fountain Valley Police Department is investigating the reason for her flight as well as the impairment that may have been present during the course of her flight. Our investigation is ongoing and no conclusions have been made at this time. The driver was taken to a local hospital for further evaluation and treatment. The name of the female driver is not being released due to medical issues related to the ongoing investigation.

David Garman Sworn in as Under Secretary of Energy
June 23, 2005
David K. Garman was sworn in on June 23rd as Under Secretary of Energy for Energy, Science and Environment. Energy Secretary Samuel W. Bodman swore in Garman at a small ceremony held at the DOE headquarters. Garman, who has served as Assistant Secretary for Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) since 2001, was unanimously confirmed by the U.S. Senate on June 15th.
"As Under Secretary, David will continue his proven leadership at the department as we work to provide new energy choices for America's future and maintain an affordable and reliable energy supply," Secretary Bodman said. "David will continue to promote energy efficiency and lend his outstanding management abilities to the department."
In his new position, Garman will be responsible for the nearly $14 billion of work DOE undertakes each year in energy research and development, demonstration, and deployment; environmental cleanup; legacy management; radioactive waste management; and other activities. See the DOE press release and see the EERE Web site for Garman's biography.

Here's a story that contradicts Sam's claim that suicide bombing is a result of religious belief:
The Real Roots of Suicide Bombing
When Sam says that no Jains, regardless of their circumstances, will ever be suicide bombers, this is probably true. However, it's also a logical fallacy of the most naive kind.
Money quote:
Still, seeing terrorist groups as rational actors is the first step to combatting a pernicious right-wing meme: the idea that terrorism is ultimately incoherent, grounded in pure religious zealotry or some supposed Arab irrationality or whatever. If you buy that meme, you're likely to think there's no point in even talking about serious territorial concessions in Palestine, or reconsidering American military deployment in Iraq or the Middle East broadly.

Future explorers learn from Titanic discoverer

Dr. Robert Ballard speaks to a crowd at the Tulalip Boys and Girls Club Wednesday evening.

Nautilus crew members lower the ROV Hercules into the ocean. This image was taken during the Institute for Exploration's 2009 expedition to the Black and Aegean seas.
Kids shouted out the obvious answer: "Earth."
"Funny," Ballard told the crowd, "most of it is water."
He has been a Naval Reserve commander and a University of Rhode Island oceanography professor. He spent 30 years at the nonprofit Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in Massachusetts. Of all his discoveries, he is best known for finding the wreck of the R.M.S. Titanic.
In 1985, using an unmanned camera-equipped submersible called Argo, Ballard searched a debris field more than 12,000 feet down in the north Atlantic, and found the luxury liner. The Titanic sank April 15, 1912. Ballard said he wanted to find the shipwreck "to show how cool robots are."
Ballard discovered hydrothermal vents and exotic life forms, located the wreck of the German battleship Bismarck, and is about to explore the Juan de Fuca undersea mountain range in the Pacific off the coast of Washington.
He has seen places few will ever go. Now, thanks to renovations and new technology at the Tulalip Boys & Girls Club and curriculum related to Ballard's explorations, kids here will experience underwater exploration.
Ballard's visit to the Tulalip club Wednesday evening follows the completion late last year of the club's new computer lab, music room and a space for Ballard's Immersion Learning program. The immersion lab will link the Tulalip club with exploration ships, including one based at the University of Washington.
It's part of the JASON Project, a nonprofit founded by Ballard in 1989. The educational effort is managed by the Sea Research Foundation with involvement from the National Geographic Society. The curriculum was developed partly by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
The goal is to help children with STEM subjects -- science, technology, engineering and math -- through engaging curricula at after-school centers. In short, making science fun.
Bill Tsoukalas, executive director of Boys & Girls Clubs of Snohomish County, said that children from all the group's area clubs were invited to Ballard's talk. "Kids today are going to be the future explorers," he said.
One fan of Ballard's, who waited patiently for an autograph, was 6-year-old Evan Wold, a first-grader at Mukilteo's Endeavour Elementary School. "He loves the Titanic," said Evan's mother Beverly Wold. Erik and Beverly Wold said their son often studies his Titanic books, and hopes to become a ship captain. Ballard's exploration vessel is called the EV Nautilus.
Tsoukalas said the Tulalip club's renovations and new technology cost about $500,000. The work was done with support from the Tulalip Tribes, and with proceeds from the club's fund-raising events.
Robbie Callaway, former head of government relations for Boys & Girls Clubs of America, was also at Wednesday's event. He said the Tulalip club is the seventh tribal club in the country and the first at a reservation in Washington to have the labs. Ballard's program was first brought to the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota in the 1990s, he said.
Ballard, 70, is to science what Cal Ripken Jr. is to baseball and Michael Jordan is to basketball, Callaway said. Those sports superstars have long been associated with Boys & Girls Clubs.
"Tonight is a special night," said the Tulalip Tribes' Don Hatch Jr. as he introduced Ballard. As an honor, he wrapped a Pendleton blanket around Ballard's shoulders. Hatch, who recently retired from the Tulalip Tribes Board of Directors, also presented Ballard with a mask made by Tulalip wood carver Kelly Moses.
Ballard wowed his audience with facts and with photos of what lies beneath the ocean's surface. The average ocean depth is 12,000 feet, and the deepest is seven miles. There are "wicked-awesome" worms down there, he said, and giant clams with bacteria living inside them. He shared a chilling detail about the Titanic site. All that remain of victims on the sea floor are shoes. The bones, he said, dissolved long ago. "I saw the shoes as tombstones," Ballard said.
To find the Titanic, he said, "I did my homework. You always have to do your homework."
The scientist told his young audience to never give up.
"You'll get knocked down, but you must follow your dream," Ballard said.

i'm not sure if it was supposed to be open, but i snuck one in anyways. Special "Arkady" discount
August 30th, 2006 #94
I'm not promising, but as far as I know that bar will be open...just not well manned during the event. Anyone wishing to drink that looks anywhere NEAR 30 and under, should bring ID.
The event is being held in the Society's dinning room, which happens to double as a Hall of Fame gallery. That's why there is a bar there. The galleries for contemporary shows will be downstairs. They will be open, but probably not any later than the event is running. If you want to take a peak, you should run down during the event at some point.

That's why the sketch nights have a bar as well.

I assume you got the discount? You should get the extra money back, if you didn;t.
I just checked with the Society and all high school students are good to get the student rate. Just send along a photocopy of the ID with the payment. Last year's high school ID is fine for those that have graduated high school but haven't started their college term yet.

NEW ORLEANS -- You may remember a few weeks ago, doctors expanded the list of the number of medications that can have serious interactions with grapefruit or its juice.
It went from 17 medications to 43.
And few people know the most popular pill for men should also be on that list.
It's been called the most popular drug in the world, the little blue pill Viagra. And while most men know they should not take Viagra if they are also using a nitrate drug for chest pain or heart problems, you may not know about this.
'Viagra, which is used for treating erectile dysfunction, when combined with grapefruit juice can reach toxic levels that result in men having hot flushes. It can also significantly lower their blood pressure and it can produce unwanted side effects,' explained Dr. Neil Baum, a urologist and men's hormone expert at Touro.
Dr. Baum said a little as one grapefruit or an eight ounce glass of juice can cause a change in absorption for 24 hours.
'The grapefruit juice in the small intestine where pills are absorbed, prevents the breakdown of the medication. So when it's absorbed, it's absorbed in larger quantities and can reach toxic levels,' said Dr. Baum.
The reason Viagra should not be taken with a nitrate medicine is because it can cause a serious drop in blood pressure. For that reason, doctors say men who become dizzy, nauseated, or have pain, numbness or tingling in the chest, arm, neck, or jaw, should get medical attention right away. And taking Viagra in the same day as grapefruit can have a similar effect.
'It can drop a man's blood pressure. It can cause a man to feel hot and warmed and flushed and so taking away the enjoyment that sexual intimacy is supposed to create. It can subtract from that and can make the man quite uncomfortable,' Dr. Baum added.
Some other fruits can also have the same effect. They are Seville oranges, limes, and pomelos, but sweet oranges do not cause this interaction.

NHL Preview from The Sports Network
Saturday, January 18th (All times Eastern)
Calgary Flames (16-26-6) at Vancouver Canucks (24-16-9), 10 p.m.
(SportsNetwork.com) - The Vancouver Canucks aim to put a horrid road trip behind them on Saturday night as they return home to face the also-struggling Calgary Flames.
The Canucks scored just one goal over an 0-3-0 swing on the West Coast. They began the trip by getting shut out 1-0 in Los Angeles, were blasted 9-1 in Anaheim on Wednesday and then blanked 1-0 again the following night in Phoenix.
Eddie Lack, who allowed three goals on 13 shots in just under 24 minutes of action versus the Ducks, was solid with 22 saves on Thursday, yielding the game's lone goal with 7:09 to play in the first period.
The struggling offense failed to do its part, going 0-for-7 on the power play, and Vancouver lost for the eighth time in its past nine games (1-5-3). That has dropped the Canucks into a tie with Minnesota for seventh place in the Western Conference, six points behind sixth-place Los Angeles.
"It's a team that is having a hell of a time making an offensive play," said Vancouver head coach John Tortorella. "It's a game of those little details and things just aren't working."
Tortorella's offense also saw two players suffer injuries as forward Mike Santorelli left the game in the second period and reportedly exited the arena with his arm in a sling, while forward David Booth took a high stick to the face that drew a double minor penalty.
Vancouver was also without No. 1 netminder Roberto Luongo for a sixth game in a row with an ankle injury and it remains unknown when he will be able to return.
That could mean Lack starts again tonight, though the rookie has won both of his meetings with the Flames this season. He made his NHL debut in Calgary on Oct. 6 and stopped 32-of-36 shots faced in a 5-4 victory, then logged an 18- save shutout -- the second of his career -- on the road in a Dec. 29 encounter.
With the two road wins, the Canucks have won four straight, 12 of 16 and 16 of their last 21 meetings with the Flames. They have claimed four straight and nine of the last 11 at home.
Calgary will still be glad to visit Vancouver given its current home struggles.
The Flames lost a 5-2 decision to the Winnipeg Jets on Thursday, Calgary's seventh straight loss at home. It has been outscored 22-4 over that club- record home losing streak.
Mark Giordano and Lance Bouma scored for the Flames, losers in nine of their last 11 overall. Reto Berra surrendered all five goals on just 23 shots in the loss.
"It's pretty tough to generate energy when you give the first two goals. In the NHL you let guys get great shots right from 10-15 feet from the net you're looking for trouble," stated Flames head coach Bob Hartley. "Obviously with the way that we played here in the past games our confidence is very fragile."
Calgary was again without forward Mike Cammalleri due to a concussion, while forward Blair Jones missed his 11th game in a row with a meniscal tear. However, he has been cleared to return and on Friday skated on a line with Paul Byron and Matt Stajan.
Karri Ramo is scheduled to start for Calgary and is 1-1-0 with a 2.52 GAA in two previous encounters with the Canucks.
Ramo posted his first NHL shutout on Monday versus Carolina, but then yielded four goals on 34 shots the following night in a loss to Nashville.

I can provide more pictures if you are interested.

There was no debate —
Watkins received word over the weekend that he was invited to play in the annual Shrine Bowl of the

"The (
Watkins is a bruising tailback, but has an abundance of speed.
The UNC-Charlotte commit has nearly 1,000 rushing yards with 15 touchdowns. He also has three receiving scores.
Watkins has four 100-yard rushing games, including last week's 103-yard performance in New Bern's 41-17 win over Hoggard in the second round of the 4-A state playoffs.
"He can do it all," Curlings said. "He is smart enough to call the pass protection stuff out, he is physical enough to block and get tough yardage and he is quick enough to get on the outside. He also has good enough hands to be a passing threat. They are getting a complete package."
The Shrine Bowl is not only about the football game. The players attend mixers, listen to a guest speaker, practice and visit the Shriner's Hospital.
"I'm expecting to meet a whole lot of new people that I haven't met before, maybe future teammates or people I will be playing against in the future," Watkins said.
At the Shrine Bowl Combine, in the offseason, Watkins ran the 40-yard dash in 4.5 seconds.
Watkins believes he is one of the best running backs in the state, and is looking forward to the opportunity to prove that.
"I feel that I am one of the best in the state, not being cocky, but being confident," he said. "I am going to step up. I am expecting nothing but the best. I'm going to play with the best and try to beat the best.
While the Shrine Bowl is still a month away, Watkins is focused on leading
The Bears (12-0) host New Hanover on Friday. The winner advances to the Eastern Regional Finals.
"Right now, my focus is on finishing the playoffs and winning a state championship, then I will worry about the Shrine Bowl," Watkins said. "As of right now, I want to help get this team that ring."

Espresso stand raises money to support church's work

Seems like red and black are popular colors at The Carabinieri Bar in Marysville.

Barista Celia Brooke leans forward to check out a photo on regular customer Liz Shepard's iPhone while taking Shepard's order at The Carabinieri Bar, a Marysville espresso stand owned by Allen Creek Community Church.
Homemade scones fill the display case. Knitted coffee-sleeves fill a for-sale basket. The rain falls outside. Customers drive through.
Sure, The Carabinieri sells lattes and mochas, but the stand also serves another purpose: raising money for Allen Creek Community Church.
They call it "church without walls," the Rev. Dan Hazen said. The Marysville-based Allen Creek church operates several community-service projects, including the Seeds of Grace food bank and a co-op garden. The coffee grounds are used for compost in the garden. Proceeds from the coffee stand will help them create a performing arts center as well.
The coffee stand runs like any other business, Hazen said. The baristas get paid and keep their tips. The church works with local schools to hire young adults with developmental disabilities to hold signs outside.
The church purchased the stand about 18 months ago from longtime member Chrissie Clementson, Hazen said. Clementson named the stand after the national police force in Italy, where she once was stationed with the U.S. military.
Church leaders liked the stand's location "in the heart of Marysville," Hazen said. "We can be part of the central community presence here."
People tend to feel strongly about their coffee, and the church wanted to do it right, said the stand's general manager, Richard Boas. They use Caffe D'arte coffee from Seattle. They send their baristas to the city for training.
"These are professionals. We take it very seriously," Boas said. "This is good coffee. You're going to get good coffee, good food and good service."
They also like to use local ingredients, including the strawberries in the strawberry shakes, a summertime favorite, Boas said. The pumpkin scones are made with pumpkins from the church garden. Other scones feature ham and cheese.
"People will come strictly for the scones," said barista Abigail Zamudio, 19.
The coffee stand doesn't push faith on people, Hazen said. They don't hide what they're about, but the message isn't in-your-face, he said.
People usually ask about the signs if they want to learn more, Zamudio said.
Customers who come from CrossFit Marysville across the street even refuse to use stamp cards to earn the occasional free coffee, because they want to support the stand's purpose, Zamudio said.
"A lot of people are thrilled that we do it," she said.
About a fifth of the stand's customers are people they know from church, Hazen said.
Last weekend, church member Gary Edmondson, 58, of Marysville, pulled up for a nonfat vanilla latte.
"It goes for a good cause," Edmondson said. "It helps the world."
Marysville Mayor Jon Nehring toured the church's garden and food and clothing distribution center this summer.
Church leaders showed the mayor "just a lot of community-centered things they do to help the needy," he said.
Nehring toured the coffee stand too.
"I thought it was a very out-of-the-box way for a church to really make a difference in the community," he said.
Rikki King: 425-339-3449; email@example.com.
Allen Creek Community Church is at 7314 44th Ave. NE, Marysville. Services are at 6 p.m. Saturdays and 9 a.m. and 10:30 a.m. on Sundays. The church operates The Carabinieri Bar coffee shop at 1519 Third Street, Marysville..

If you've enjoyed this week's look at Dean Cornwell, don't blame me! It's all TI list member, Tom Palmer's fault.It was Tom who requested a look at Dean Cornwell. When I told him my files on the artist were pretty slim and my knowledge next to nonexistent, Tom supplied both information and artwork - right up to yesterday afternoon, when more rare Cornwell treats arrived via email. Among them, the image above and - even more fascinating - the article excerpted below showing the models (all famous illustrators) from Thursday's main image. Among them is Tom's old instructor from his art school days, Frank Reilly.
Tom's not the only list member who helped out this week, though: My pal Drazen Kozjan sent along a step-by-step series of scans from the book A Complete Guide to Drawing, Illustration, Cartooning and Painting showing "How Dean Cornwell Paints The Dawn of Abdominal Surgery"
As if that wasn't enough, another good pal, Ken Steacy, came through with a series of three more Cornwells - here's one of them below.What you see here is just a small sample of what awaits you in my Dean Cornwell Flickr set. To everyone who gave so generously of their image collections and their knowledge of the artist, my sincere and heartfelt thanks. Its your contribution that makes sending out Today's Inspiration so rewarding!
Don't Blame Me

COLUMBUS- It was d├®j├Ā vu times fifty for the Oak Hill Junior High Raiders as the final seconds rolled off the clock at Immanuel Christian School. The Raiders had the upper-hand and were leading their opponent. The game might not have been the prettiest of the fifty consecutive wins, but the Raiders did it, defeating Immanuel 45-38.
ŌĆ£We expected it to be competitive, we only beat them [Immanuel] by four at our place,ŌĆØ commented head coach Brian Middleton about the win over Immanuel, ŌĆ£I think we were anxious about the fiftieth win in a row and I just keep telling them to just ŌĆśplay to winŌĆÖ and not to ŌĆśplay not to lose.ŌĆÖŌĆØ
Winning streaks are hard to come by for anybody on any level and to create a winning streak with such longevity is a special accomplishment within itself. Similar to some famous Mississippi winning streaks like the 89 consecutive wins by the South Panola Tigers in football or the 85 game win streak for Leake Academy in fast-pitch softball, these young Raiders will be placed amongst an elite club for their great effort and achievements.
It has been over two seasons since Oak Hill has dropped a junior high game and it has not been an easy road to travel for the Raiders. The classes of 2015 and 2016 have done a lot of heavy lifting against opponents such as Marshall Academy, Leake Academy, Indianola Academy and Starkville Academy, just to name a few. Yet many of the games were over before halftime proving the absolute dominance in which the Raiders have played in the past couple of junior high seasons.
ŌĆ£My sophomores from last year played a major role in this,ŌĆØ commented Coach Middleton about the promise the fifty game winning streak holds for Oak Hill basketball, ŌĆ£We have come a long way, and hopefully this group takes the big step to make us more competitive on the high school level.ŌĆØ
In the game against Immanuel Tuesday night, the Raiders were led by Chance Wilson with 16 points and 11 rebounds. Also putting in great games were Ken Dill scoring 11 points and Kaleb Darnell with 8 points on the night.
In continuing such a long streak, coach Middleton points to the key in his junior high teamŌĆÖs success which is the trust the boys have in each other to be successful. ŌĆ£A lot of unselfishness and a lot of respect for each other knowing that everybody can make the big play,ŌĆØ said Middleton after the victory. This characteristic of trust could carry Oak Hill further as a basketball program and possibly create a deep run in the MAIS postseason in the coming years.
The Oak Hill Junior High Raiders are currently 22-0 on the season and will hope to continue the streak Friday night against Canton Academy at home.
