New album: 13
Artist: Black Sabbath
Label: Vertigo
Rating: 4 stars out of 5
For the first time since 1978, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler and Ozzy Osbourne have completed a Black Sabbath studio album.
There have been teases over the last few years. Two new studio tracks were tacked onto the end of their live "Reunion" album in 1998, and the band (along with original drummer Bill Ward) attempted to make an album with producer Rick Rubin in 2001. Why the album never happened isn't clear, but it probably had something to do with Ozzy's goofy TV show.
Finally, it was announced roughly a year ago that the original Sabbath members were heading into the studio with Rick Rubin to make an album. Rubin is important to this equation because he has a knack for showing vintage artists (Johnny Cash, Neil Diamond) how to tap into whatever reservoir of magic dust made them special in the first place.
Instead of throwing on the studio sheen and trying to make "13" sound like an album by Linkin Park or Staind, Rubin guided the boys into making a bona fide Black Sabbath album. The tracks routinely break the seven-minute barrier, with studio jam "Damaged Soul" (a song about child abuse) reaching the same heights the band achieved on its jam-heavy debut album in 1970.
With no layers of effects to hide behind, Osbourne turns in his best vocal performance in years. Tony Iommi's monolithic riffs — particularly on "Live Forever" — are as menacing as ever. The pseudo-acoustic song "Zeitgeist" is obviously a cousin to "Planet Caravan" from the "Paranoid" album, and it comes as a nice palette cleanser between the demolition tunes on either side of it.
That Iommi was able to turn in such a powerful performance while undergoing treatments for lymphoma is nothing short of staggering.
The only thing keeping "13" from getting that fifth rating star is the absence of drummer Bill Ward. According to Ward, the band didn't offer him a satisfactory contract, while the band insists Ward's health was an issue. Either way, Ward's off-kilter drumming style is missed.
Rage Against the Machine/Audioslave drummer Brad Wilk was recruited to handle drum duties and fits in quite nicely. Wilk's playing isn't quite as loose as Ward's, but the Sabbath groove is alive, and Wilk's telepathy during the instrumental sections is spot-on.
Black Sabbath began during the Vietnam era and was one of the first bands to eschew the hippie aesthetic and focus on what was really happening in the world. Things are still pretty screwed up in 2013, so Sabbath's sound and outlook will never go out of style. Turn it up.
Classic album: Teddy Pendergrass
Artist: Teddy Pendergrass
Label: The Right Stuff
Rating: 4 stars out of 5
Teddy Pendergrass first stepped into the big time when he was recruited to be the drummer for Harold Melvin & The Blue Notes. Eventually, someone heard Pendergrass sing and stuck him in front of a microphone.
With Melvin & The Blue Notes, Pendergrass sang lead vocals on a string of Philly soul hits — including one of the greatest ballads of all time, "If You Don't Know Me By Now." Pendergrass left the band in 1976 and his self-titled solo debut appeared in 1977.
Released while disco was still a concern, the "Teddy Pendergrass" album scored a dance-floor hit with "I Don't Love You Anymore." As far as disco goes, "I Don't Love You Anymore" has a beat that doesn't fall too far from East Coast beach music territory. Pendergrass' vocals fall somewhere between the gruff soul of The Four Tops' Levi Stubbs and Richie Havens at his most subtle.
"The Whole Town's Laughing at Me" is a decent song which is elevated to greater heights through Pendergrass' gospel inflected performance. This being a Gamble and Huff production, the string section is as thick as molasses in Antarctica, but even an orchestra can't dampen Pendergrass' testimonial delivery.
Radio hits aside, album cuts "You Can't Hide from Yourself" and "Be Sure" stand out as two of Pendergrass' greatest performances.
Pendergrass' career would continue to grow and he never looked back to his former band. In rare cases — such as Lionel Richie leaving the Commodores — singers can leave the comfort of a band situation to flourish on their own. Tragedy and health issues would eventually cut Pendergrass' career short, but what he was able to accomplish while he was here endures.

Republicans plagued by good news
The commentary was not entirely wrong. Private enterprise creates the great majority of jobs in this country. But the baritone assumes that entrepreneurs can easily grow good jobs in a world filled with smart young people working for less money.
Every successful rich country -- Germany, for example -- has a government actively building the right economic environment, including an educated workforce able to fill good jobs. It has low unemployment, high wages and a sturdy social safety net.
In his State of the Union address, President Obama proposed "a Fix-It-First program to put people to work as soon as possible on our most urgent repairs, like the nearly 70,000 structurally deficient bridges across the country." A modern country needs a modern infrastructure. It helps the makers make more.
Here in the Northwest, the aging I-5 bridge over the Columbia River is a major worry for both Oregon and Washington state. It needs rebuilding -- and, for that, a good chunk of federal money.
If in the course of rebuilding these bridges, thousands of jobs are made, that's what we call a win-win situation. That taxpayer dollars are involved is no reason to hate the program.
Public investment in energy technology is today's moonshot. Not withstanding some bad bets, such as Solyndra, it multiplies private-sector jobs. It is partly why American manufacturers are selling cars again and why, as Obama noted, wind and solar energy has doubled.
Technology is why, as Obama also pointed out, Caterpillar, Ford, Intel and Apple are opening plants in the United States, rather than in China, Mexico and other lower-wage countries. Robots are allowing us to compete.
Now Obama does play fast and loose with some numbers, according to the fact-checkers. While wind and solar energy production is way up, it still represents a very small piece of the energy mix -- even the renewable energy mix (which includes hydropower and ethanol). But these technologies are still relatively new, and they're way up from nothing.
Obama breaks the truth-meter when he claims that "we have doubled the distance our cars will go on a gallon of gas." If only. He was talking about his administration's call for raising fuel economy standards by 2025 -- a bold goal that carmakers may or may not be able to reach. Suffice it to say, though, the 17 percent rise in fuel efficiency over the last four years is very, very impressive.
Most viewers weren't dining with the fact-checkers, but even if they had, the news sounded pretty good. Over half a million new jobs, more American cars sold, less foreign oil used, a housing market on the mend. As Obama reminded everyone, "We have cleared away the rubble of crisis" created by you-know-who.
Sitting behind Obama, Republican House Speaker John Boehner stoically listened to the progress reports. Next to him, Vice President Joe Biden seemed paralyzed in a grin.
Much of the Republican reaction was self-pity. Official responder Florida Sen. Marco Rubio offered a long list of fictional accusations. Example: When Republicans say that "government can't control the weather" (not quite true with global warming), "he accuses us of wanting dirty water and dirty air."
Hey, it was a tough night for Republicans. Their big voices on the radio and in motel breakfast rooms have little recourse but to raise the volume.

Chris O'Dowd of 'Girls' Is Like a Teddy Bear We Want to Squeeze – The Daily Swoon
We close out our lead-up to the season two premiere of 'Girls' this coming Sunday with a look at one last cutiepie from the show — Chris O'Dowd.
Oh man, don't you guys just love a dude with an accent? How about guys who look like lovable little teddy bears and make you want to hug them and cuddle them and cry into their soft fur … erm, sorry, went too far on that one.
Meet Chris O'Dowd, an Irish actor whom you might recognize from 'Bridesmaids' or, if you're some kind of pop culture hipster, you're probably like, "I know that dude from BBC's 'The IT Crowd, derp." Good for you. He also had roles in films last year like 'This is 40,' 'Friends with Kids' and '3…2…1 Frankie Go Boom.' (That last one's available to rent OnDemand right now, FYI.)
We were introduced to O'Dowd's character Thomas John on the first season of 'Girls' when he attempted — and failed — to have a threesome with Jessa and Marnie, only to wind up (SPOILER ALERT, obviously) marrying Jessa in a surprise wedding. And while Thomas John is most definitely back for season two, I won't spoil things any further.
For now, check out some photos of this adorable and oft-bearded Irish lad:

#10 Men's Lacrosse Scores Six in the Second; Holds Off Late Rally by Colorado Mesa to Take 12-10 Win
March 7, 2013
MISENHEIMER, N.C. Pfeiffer University, ranked #10 in the latest USILA Coaches poll, used a six-goal second quarter and held off a late rally by visiting Colorado Mesa to claim a 12-10 victory in non-conference mens lacrosse action on Thursday afternoon. The Falcons improve to 5-1 overall on the year while sending the Mavericks to 1-2.
A slow start for both teams saw Pfeiffer take a 2-1 lead into the second quarter as Spencer Allen (Edmonton, ALBERTA) get on the board first 2:16 into the contest while the Mavericks Kade Robinson (Williamstown, AUSTRALIA) netted the equalizer two-and-a-half minutes later. Elliot Gilberts (Corning, NY) unassisted goal with 2:22 remaining in the period gave the Falcons their one-goal lead after 15 minutes of action.
After Robinson made it a 2-2 game with a man-up goal at the 11:56 mark of the second, Kory Lutes (Orlando, FL) would reel off the next two goals for Pfeiffer, one in a man-up situation, to put the hosts back up a pair. After James Shepherd (St. John, NEW BRUNSWICK) hit for the Falcons, Michael Beimford (Centennial, CO) stopped the bleeding for the Mavericks with a man-up goal with 4:11 remaining in the second. Pfeiffers Robert Hope (Peterborough, ONTARIO), Gilbert and Matt Michaeli (Draper, UT) would each find the back of the net again during the final 3:49 to give Pfeiffer an 8-3 lead at the break.
Colorado Mesa would start their comeback out-scoring the Falcons 4-2 in the third as Beimford hit again three minutes in while Steve Brandenburg (Seal Beach, CA) and Dylan Duresky (Aurora, CO) each tallied a goal after Gilbert registered another goal for the Falcons. A Jeff Konko (Rochester, NY) goal with 1:59 left in the period got the lead back to four at 10-6 until Brandenburg found the back of the net with 12 seconds remaining in the period to give the Mavericks momentum heading into the fourth quarter down 10-7.
Just 10 seconds into the fourth, Josh Russell (Denver, CO) continued the momentum with his first of the day before Lutes gave Pfeiffer a little breathing room pushing the lead back to three at 11-8. With 10:01 remaining, Duresky scored a man-up goal to make it 11-9 before Russell hit again just under four minutes later as the Mavericks had trimmed a five-goal deficit down to just one with 6:44 remaining. Solid defense by the Falcons and a final goal by Michaeli with 50 ticks left would seal the deal as Pfeiffer held on 12-10.
Lutes and Gilbert would lead all scorers on the day with three goals apiece while all 10 Mavericks goals went to five different players. Hayden Kirk (Farmingdale, NY) made 11 saves in net for the Falcons including four in the fourth while Brad Bradenburg (Seal Beach, CA) turned away 16 with half of those in the third to keep Colorado Mesa in it.
Pfeiffer will get back to action on Saturday hosting another west coast team in Dominican out of California at 1:00 p.m. Live stats will be available through http://www.gofalconsports.com.

When people are asked, "What is your purpose in life?" most don't' know what to say.
But Marketa Paschal knows exactly how to respond.
"As soon as I stepped into the modeling industry I thought to myself, 'this is my purpose in life,'" said Paschal, a Burlington native and 2012 Southern Alamance graduate. "It has been the best decision and the greatest experience of my life."
Paschal started her career in the modeling industry at age 18 by first promoting the health drink MonaVie, where she was featured in Tasteful magazine. Shortly after the photo shoot Paschal said she knew modeling was the right career path.
"I decided to look up modeling schools in North Carolina and stumbled upon John Casablancas Model and Acting school in Cary," Paschal said. "It kind of happened by accident, but it just felt right."
Paschal, a third-generation Czech, attended the school for seven months. She learned how to walk the runway, pose and other techniques for becoming a successful model.
"It was such an amazing experience," Paschal said. "I met so many great young women that looked up to me who were also pursuing a modeling career."
Since her time as a model, Paschal has been featured in paid events, photo shoots, a movie, and music videos. She was recently featured on the rapper Reflection's song, "How I like it" which she really enjoyed. She has also been a promotional model for the rapper's "Fresh" and "Young Modest" which she is proud of as well.
Paschal recently decided to venture home to DRL Toon's Studio in Greensboro, which is operated by Jack Frost and is currently one of her managers. Along with Frost, D'Jella Gray is Paschal's other manager.
Paschal is proud of her Czech heritage.
"Even though English is my first language, I have been learning Czech starting from age 4," Paschal said. "My heritage is very important to me and has helped me with modeling because it makes me different."
Paschal's most recent accomplishment is being selected as a nominee for Model of the Year at the Carolina Music Awards this year.
"I have made my own success happen for myself, but without the support of friends and fans I could have never had the courage to step into the modeling industry," Paschal said.
In order for Paschal to win Model of the Year she needs the support of her Alamance County family to continue to vote for her. The event will be held on July 6 at the Duke Energy Center for the Performing Arts in Raleigh located on 2 E South St. from 8 p.m. to 11 p.m. Paschal also mentioned that July 1 is the last day to place a vote.
"Not only do I want this award for myself, but also for my fans," Paschal said. "I want to give back because they have done so much for me and I want to walk on the red carpet for them."
To vote for Paschal go to www.carolinamusicawards.com and click on the "Vote" tab. From there, scroll down to the category for Models and click on Marketa Paschal's name.
Anna DeLoache can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com or 336-506-3058.

The Royals jump from 3A to 4A this year — they will compete in the Wesco 4A South — but the move is not expected to affect them much. The league's coaches picked the Royals to be among the favorites.
"It was something that was real exciting for us," Lynnwood coach Everett Edwards said of the move to 4A. "We would have a chance to play against Jackson and Edmonds-Woodway, Lake Stevens and Snohomish and Arlington and all those new teams. Obviously we had a really good rivalry with Glacier Peak and Shorecrest and a lot of the teams that we played (in 3A), but it was more exciting to know that we were going to get the chance to play in some different gyms and see some different teams."
Last season, the Royals fell one win short of playing in the 3A state regionals. Arsenia Ivanov and Jasmin Edwards, two of the Royals' leaders this season, said moving up to the 4A level won't change the way the team plays.
"We are just still going to play the same way we have," Ivanov said. "So it's still going to be the same offense, the same defense and we are just going to play the same way we have."
Two key members of last year's team, Meghan Cross and Casey Evans, graduated and star post Mokun Fajemisin, who missed her senior season with an injury, is gone as well. But the Royals have a group of strong young players, led by Mikayla Pivec and Jordyn Edwards.
"We lost some seniors and we also got new freshman in," Jasmin Edwards said, "and so it's like kind of a whole new start. Same mentality of going in and playing hard and trying to make our goals, just at a higher level."
The idea of being one of the favorites doesn't seem to intimidate these girls.
"I think as a program we have always been looked at as the underdog, but now, our coach always says that we are the ones with the target on our back now," Ivanov said. "So we know that we have a target on our back and teams are gunning for us, but we are still just going to get after it."
The weakness of this year's Royals team might also be its strength. Lynnwood lacks size inside, but what the Royals do have is speed and the ability to shoot the basketball at a high level. Lynnwood's opponents can expect a swarming defense and a run-and-gun style of play that is sure to wear some teams down.
"Our defense is what's going to take us far," Ivanov said.
"We have a lot of heart," Jasmin Edwards added. "We may be small, but we make up for it with our hustle and our defense, just getting after it and making people uncomfortable. As long we bring that every time, that is going to be our best thing as well as shooting."
Ivanov and Jasmin Edwards like that the Royals have earned the respect of the other teams, but aren't ready to let go of that underdog role just yet.
"We feel like we are still considered the underdog until we prove to everyone that we are at the top," Jasmin Edwards said. "So as long as we go in not being too cocky or feeling like we are the best and playing with that underdog mentality, we feel like we can get that role of being the top team."
One of the things the Royals have to do to get to the top of the league is protect their home court, something Ivanov and Edwards said is made easier by their loyal fans.
"We feed so much off the crowd, it's great," Jasmin Edwards said.

Definitive's new ProCinema 600 System is our new entry-level 6-piece home theater system. Its surprisingly affordable price belies its remarkable sophistication. The ProCinema 600 System incorporates the same new technologies and advancements, including BDSS drivers, pure aluminum dome tweeters, planar medite passive radiators and a 250-watt SuperCube technology powered subwoofer. The satellites and center channel are available in high-gloss hand-rubbed piano gloss black (with matching black subwoofer) or gloss white. The satellites can be shelf-mounted with their unique tri-lobed base, wall-mounted using the built-in keyhole mount or optional pivot mount or stand-mounted with their optional floor stands. The center channels have an adjustable foot for shelf- mounting or can be wall-mounted using their built-in threaded inserts. Sonically, the new ProCinema 600 System is a revelation in terms of achieving incredible sound at an affordable price. Their imaging is absolutely boxless, spacious and three-dimensional while delivering pinpoint specificity and localization when called for. They are velvety smooth with a you-are-there presence which is unique at any price and unheard of in this price range. The 600 system is dynamic but capable of great subtlety so it excels equally with music or movies

About Me Musically Inclined, Practical, Professional, Tech Savvy
Nice open spacious sound and really nice for my small living room. Also, I love that they are white. Everything black is too heavy.
Amazing sound, small package
By Buffalofish
from Orchard Park, NY
Very attractive excellent sounding speakers. The only complaint would be that the wire terminals are fairly deeply recessed and hard to reach. Using banana connectors with your speaker wire eliminates this issue.
Excellent compliment to my current setup
By DC

About Me Audiophile, Musically Inclined, Tech Savvy
I was looking for something to compliment my current setup, until my full theater goes into production. I shopped around for about 2 months before I came to the Definitive Cinema600 package.The price and performance is just right. I used them to compliment my Klipsch (main front and center). However, I listened to Definitive package on its own and sounded great.The subwoofer is a real surprise, don't let the size fool you, there is plenty of deep, skin chilling bass to go around with the sub.

Good system
By Audiophile
from Ohio
Good product with some good audio quality. Hooking up with separately bought wires was easy. Though tuning it to sound perfectly took a long long time. I spent more than 2 weeks just tuning it so that it sounded atleast comparable to other audio systems. I was on the verge of returning it , but was sure that I was not tuning it properly. Spent 2 weeks reading on forums and tuning it everyday and one day it just blew me away. Have been happy since then. I was looking for Kef2005, Klipsch and this one. But finally decided to go for Def tech since the reviews were good [...] Couldnt ask for more!

In the event of an emergency, this site will be updated with information about the nature of the incident, how to remain safe and, after the event, the point at which safety has been restored.
The National Weather Service (NWS) and the Texas Division of Emergency Management have designated November 14th, 2012, as Winter Weather Awareness Day in Texas. This is an annual safety campaign designed to promote winter weather awareness and safety.
Every year, West Texas is affected by winter weather, with at least one winter storm impacting the area in a typical year. Across the United States, an average of 23 fatalities can be attributed each year to winter weather, and dozens of fatalities can be attributed to exposure to cold. Add to that number, vehicle accidents and fatalities, fires due to dangerous use of heaters, and other winter weather fatalities, and you have a significant threat.
The keys to avoiding serious injury or death during a major winter storm include knowing the safety rules to survive cold weather, knowing how to stay informed of forecasts and warnings for winter storm conditions, and preparing ahead of time to handle difficult travel conditions and other exposure to harsh cold weather conditions.

Every now and then I got a glimpse of this bird which I'm pretty sure is not native to Northern Germany where I live. There are at least three of these birds around but I usually only see something quick and green somewhere in the trees. I finally managed to get some decent pictures so I'm hoping someone can tell me what kind of bird this is. I'm curious what biological niche this bird is likely to fill and which native species it might compete with.
I think I also managed to record its call, although it was dark and my ornithology skills are next to zero so it might just be a native species that sounds foreign to my untrained ear.

Men's Volleyball Crushes School Record for Aces; Mahan Sets Individual Mark in 3-0 Romp of Shock
February 25, 2011
MISENHEIMER, N.C. Pfeiffer University smashed a school record with 16 aces cruising to a 3-0 (25-5, 25-10, 25-14) victory over Washington Adventist in non-conference mens volleyball on Friday afternoon. The Falcons crushed the old aces mark of seven in the 2011 home-opening victory improving to 6-4 on the year. The visiting Shock fell to 1-5.
Pfeiffer bolted out to an 8-0 thanks to three-straight aces served up by Evan Fullerton (Ambridge, PA). Three-straight Shock errors, an ace by Micah Bortner (Dallastown, PA) and kill from Drew Burdette (Greer, SC) put the Falcons up 16-3 in front of final kills by Josh Mahan (Victor, NY) and Lance Johnson (Harrisburg, PA) closing out set one. Washington Adventist received their five points in the set from Falcon errors.
In set two, Pfeiffer jumped out in front 3-1 on a kill from Bortner with libero Mark Hess (Lebanon, PA) assisting on the play which moved to a 10-1 start with three aces from Mahan and a kill from Kyle Mariano (Kendall Park, NJ). Blake Dowdle (Farmington, NY) put down a kill midway through the middle set for a 16-4 contest before two Eric Edelman (Henrietta, NY) kills and a Kevin Anderson (Greensboro, NC) ace finished off the Shock in set two.
Buck Boswell (Midlothian, VA) would throw down an early kill in set three to put the hosts up 6-0 while a later ace from Michael McLaughlin (Aliquippa, PA) gave the Falcons an eventual 15-5 lead. Kills from Boswell, McLauglin and Mahan helped finalize the sweep while the final blow was delivered by Johnson on the 16th ace of the match.
Mahan finished with a team-high and new school record five aces in the win. Mariano led in the kills department with eight while McLaughlin recorded 19 assists. As a team, Pfeiffer hit .455 in the win which includes a .625 mark in set one followed by a .526 percentage in set two.
Pfeiffer will return to their home floor next Saturday, March 5th for a 2:00 p.m. matchup against NJIT.

Flora Maria Vaccarino MD
Harris Professor in the Child Study Center and Professor of Neurobiology
Biographical Info
Dr. Flora Vaccarino graduated in Medicine at Padua University in Italy and studied neuropharmacology and cell biology at NIH as a research fellow before starting her Residency in Psychiatry at Yale University. After her residency, she studied developmental biology and genetics and was appointed Assistant Professor at Yale University in 1994. She then pursued several lines of research, using genetic mouse models as well as human brain specimens, to understand the pathophysiology of neuropsychiatric disorders. Her 1999 paper in Nature Neuroscience (Vaccarino et al, 3: 246-253, 1999) showing that a single administration of Fibroblast Growth Factor 2 can induce permanent increases in cerebral cortical size, embodies the powerful role of these factors in development and plasticity.
Together with people in her lab, Dr. Vaccarino, now a full Professor at Yale University School of Medicine, studies mouse and human neural stem cells and their role in development and repair. She and a group of colleagues recently founded the Program in Neurodevelopment and Regeneration to harness the power of induced pluripotent stem cells for understanding individual variation in neurodevelopment and the pathophysiology of neuropsychiatric disorders.

Comments about Kuat Bottle Lock:
This is a really cool idea, and I'm glad I bought it, but in reality, it's totally worthless for the urban college campus on which I lock my '02 Zurich. I also have On Guard's security skewers, and a Kryptonite evo9 U-Lock, so I feel OK, but for some reason, having a cable (albeit a very thin one) going around the front wheel makes me feel better. Also, it fits through the vents on my helmet, rendering my helmet un-stealable without cutting the cable or breaking the helmet in two.

Such a great idea, worst execution ever. Thin plastic that separated from itself the first time I pulled the lock out. The hidden cup on the bottom doesn't lock into the "bottle", and falls off at nothing. Too bad, could have been stellar.

- Write out your questions ahead of time, so you don't forget them.
- Write down the answers you get, and make sure you understand what you are hearing. Ask for clarification, if necessary.

- Do you think I have an alcohol abuse problem?
- Have you helped patients with alcohol abuse problems?
- Where can I get help for an alcohol abuse problem?
- I'm concerned that I've done damage to my body because of alcohol abuse. Can I have a physical exam and some tests?
- Would my health problem(s) have anything to do with abusing alcohol?
- If I continue with my current drinking pattern, am I putting myself at risk for complications?
- What medical and nonmedical treatments are available for alcohol abuse and alcoholism?
- What are the benefits, risks, and side effects of medical treatments for alcohol abuse and alcoholism?
- How do the treatments work and how long will they take?
- Can you refer me to a group for people with alcohol abuse problems?
- Can you refer me to a mental health professional that specializes in the treatment of alcohol abuse and alcoholism?
If you find a mental health professional that specializes in the treatment of alcohol abuse or alcoholism, ask the following questions:
- What type of training and how much experience do you have in treating alcohol abuse and alcoholism?
- What is your basic approach to treatment?
- How long will treatments last?
- How long and frequent are the treatment sessions?
- Do you accept health insurance?
- Do you have fee schedules and sliding scale fees to accommodate various financial circumstances?
- What changes can I make to reduce my use of alcohol?
- Is there anything I can do to enhance my recovery?
- Is there anything I can do to reverse any damage I may have done to my body because of abusing alcohol?
- What are my chances of successful recovery?
- What if I relapse?
- What are my chances of reversing any damage I may have done to my body because of abusing alcohol?

Hearing Protection Q&A
Ask your questions. Share your answers.
There is no hearing protection designed specifically forklift operators. You would need to do a noise assessment at your facility to determine what level of hearing protection you need. Hearing protection is measured by a plug or earfmuff's NRR rating. The higher the number, the more protection offered. But again, there is nothing specific for forklift operators.

These earplugs feature a Hear-Through™ design which allows workers to hear conversations, signals, or other critical sounds clearly, while helping protect against impulse noise from an arc flash. If an arc flash occurs, the calibrated noise filter activates immediately to suppress the noise to a safer level reducing the chance of hearing damage.
These plugs are double-ended. Should protection against extended exposure to continuous hazardous noises be needed, workers insert the plug's red end.

"Why I am I overwhelmed by an emotional rush when I am isolated in nature and in the presence of the wondrous beauty of the mountains? Why do I find a sea of mountain tops breathtakingly beautiful, and comforting to look at? Why do I get a feeling up there that I can only describe as magical?"
I would relate this to panpsychism. Consciousness can be seen as an emergent phenomenon composed of parts—which for want of a better term we may call "qualia"—that represent the psychic poles of bipolar entities that reach down to the very roots of the physical universe. This can work in a picture of the mind as arranged in concentric zones or circles—or "mindworlds" in my terminology.
In this picture, consciousness emerges in the inner members of a set of such concentric circles, whose outer members potentially circumscribe the totality of reality. This kind of concentric-circles view was advocated by consciousness scientist Alwyn Scott in his 1995 book Stairway to the Mind. A very similar view was propounded by the Oxford pharmacologist Susan Greenfield in her 1995 book Journey to the Centers of the Mind.
As people, we live very largely within the innermost of these zones, where the individual and personal quality of consciousness is prominent and where evolution by natural selection can work efficiently over the generations to optimize the mechanisms that enable us to rest content with these inner zones for most practical purposes. However, several experiential states cause us to break out of these zones and seek comfort in wider circles, so to speak, where of course the "us" here refers not to something separate from this cosmic cyclone of psychic zones but just to the emergent entity that tends to concentrate where the twistor winds tighter.
Psychic states that tend to cause such dilation or such a sense of the soul expanding are numerous and have numerous labels, which typically have a religious cast (since they are not well understood states). Among these are the states to which you refer, where you are isolated in nature and feel the presence of "wondrous beauty". These states seem good for a good reason, if my analysis makes any sense here.
Think of life on Earth as an outgrowth of the Earth itself. Think of each of us as a spiralling peak (of zones on a spiky ball, the Earth) that is rooted in the Earth itself. That is, our twistor systems of psychic circles spiral right down into the planet. As our moods dilate, the psychic music that formerly consisted merely of harmonies playing in the higher circles suddenly hits great bass notes, where the "rock" music of the deeper zones is excited.
So far so poetic, or not, but where's the science here? Well, evolution worked way, way back on our primeval ancestors to make them thrill to good prospects. Imagine the thrill when a microbe finds a food patch, or a bug stumbles on a turd, or a patriarch like Abraham sets off with his clan into the green fields of the great wide world. The soul expands to fill the space set before it, and the soul rejoices. This is the expansion of life in action, grabbing what it can and making the most of it. All this is deep in our genes.
So when you stand on a mountain and feel your soul exult, it is because somewhere deep in your soul a bass rhythm is excited that says—Space! Freedom! Opportunity! Go for it!—and triggers a cascade of pharmacological effects in your limbic system.
This is all my humble opinion, as hypothetical as it gets.

Bay baseball field moves forward after School Board approval
District to kick in $150,000 for Cahill facility
Whitefish Bay - The Whitefish Bay School District agreed last week to pitch in $150,000 for an updated baseball field at Cahill Park.
The School District is the third player in a public-private partnership with the village of Whitefish Bay and the Friends of Bay Baseball, a nonprofit organization that raises money to support the village's baseball program. This money will go toward a $400,000 project to build an upgraded baseball field with a field turf projected to last more than 25 years. The current field is maintained by the School District for $10,000 to $15,000 each year because the Whitefish Bay Blue Dukes baseball team uses the field for games, said Director of Business Services Shawn Yde. Baseball, he said, is historically the district's least expensive sport.
The $150,000 will come out of the district's capital reserve fund.
School Board policy recommends having 14 to 18 percent in financial reserves. The current reserve level is 22.83 percent.
Stormwater project triggered upgrades
FOBB spearheaded the project because the current baseball field will be torn up in spring as part of the village's $11 million stormwater detention project at Cahill Park.
The Village Board approved the design for the upgraded baseball field in the beginning of November. The design includes a field turf infield and running track, natural grass outfield, new scoreboard in right field and permanent concrete curved around the backstop area. The Village Board also approved allocating $50,000 of village funds for the project, as well as taking care of all infrastructure work, Carl Fuda of FOBB said.
FOBB plans to privately raise an additional $200,000 for the field by September 2013. Half of that money goes toward the artificial turf, the other half will go toward amenities such as the dugouts. The school district's money will go specifically to the artificial turf, foul lines and a warning track.
"The village has agreed to fund all of the ground work," Fuda said.
As part of the School Board vote, the money allocation is contingent upon the approval of a usage agreement with the village of Whitefish Bay of not less than 25 years.
The School Board approved the funds in a 4-1 vote, with Anne Berleman Kearney voting against the proposal. Marie Greco and Michael Mosner were absent from the meeting.
"I have some real concerns about this," Berleman Kearney said. "I'm really impressed with what Friends of Bay Baseball have done, but it's a lot of money on land that we don't own. I think $150,000 is too much to spend on a baseball field."
Saves on maintenance costs
School Board member James Phillips said there is a payback to the project since the district will end up saving in maintenance costs in the long run.
"This is more like making an investment at a time when there are more reserves as opposed to the future when we have less certainty," he said.
Berleman Kearney was also concerned what will happen should FOBB fail to raise the full $200,000. Fuda said he never thought that was a possibility and is confident all the money will be raised. Should the money not be raised, FOBB will cut out some of the amenity items in the project design, he said.
School Board President Kathy Rogers supported the project, saying this is an opportunity to give the students who play baseball the same level of safety students in other sports have.
"It's not the students' fault we don't own the property and the students should have a field that's as safe as if we could provide one here," she said.

FORT WORTH Every year, hospital emergency rooms treat more than 12,000 people for injuries related to holiday lights and decorations, according to the Consumer Product Safety Commission.
While Christmas may be the most wonderful time of the year, it is also among the most dangerous thanks to all those decorations.
A neck brace, drainage tube, and hospital room are proof to Lewis Schwartz that no good deed goes unpunished.
The odd thing is, I never put up lights before because I'm Jewish, Schwartz said, trying not to laugh because of the pain in his gut. But my wife is not, so I put the lights up for her.
Schwartz was hospitalized after falling 10 feet off a ladder while hanging Christmas lights at his Fort Worth home.
The only thing strung now is a tube through his chest. He has four broken ribs and a punctured and collapsed lung.
We have people that break their legs, break their pelvis', break their arms, and frequently break their ribs, said Dr. David C. Smith, a trauma surgeon at Texas Health Fort Worth. And he said that's just a sample of the injuries he treats during the holiday season.
About three or four years ago, we had two people that fell from ladders while decorating, Dr. Smith said. Both of them ended up paralyzed.
When working with a ladder, experts recommend always working in pairs, and never climb a ladder alone or if it is unbraced or improperly positioned.
Experts also say anyone who isn't accustomed to working on rooftops should hire someone who is, and who has the proper training and equipment. It's a lot cheaper than a trip to the hospital.
Lewis Schwartz didn't finish putting up his lights, but he already has a New Year's resolution.
Next year, I hire somebody to put the lights up, he said.
