BOISE -- Boise firefighters extinguished a small fire that was sparked by a down power line this morning in a Boise neighborhood.
The falling lines did break up a small section of asphalt in the 4500 block of W. Alpine Street, near Orchard and Franklin. There were no road closures.
Firefighters say a squirrel caused the transformer to blow, causing lines to arc and fall. The squirrel did not survive.
The incident was reported around 9:50 a.m. The fire was burning asphalt and that was quickly put out.
There was also a brief power outage in the area. Around 1,900 Idaho Power customers were affected.
By noon, crewshad restored power to all but13 homes.

"Starting a company was the farthest thing from my mind when I came to New York," says O'Shea 2.0 over coffee at a nearby Starbucks (which serves as the company conference room). RedFilter was, in the parlance of RedFilter, where O'Shea didn't know he wanted to go. But now, he says, "There is no other place I think I'd rather be."
O'Shea sidles up to Stephen Weiss, RedFilter's "editorial director" ever since he handed out all of his first business cards, which said "managing editor." Weiss is a great employee in that he's constantly stoked to be working. He schemes business partnerships, works on the map of the site, writes press releases. "I eat three meals a day at my desk," he says. "It's awesome."
"Okay. Do we want to start this meeting now?" O'Shea asks.
This is the inquisitive management style in action. As a style of authority, it works quite well for him and for the scores of other Internet execs who use it as their dominant mode. This really hasn't changed since 1995: Management rules are as remote as day care to a 23-year-old Net CEO. And, since nobody really knows what they're doing, it's best to listen first, and let consensus rule. The hierarchy is so flat at RedFilter it looks concave.
O'Shea announces that he has called a staff meeting because, he says, "I feel like we're spending huge amounts of time here and its becoming too much like home." O'Shea has been working 10 a.m. to midnight. "I want to find out if you guys feel that way or are you all pretty content?" Only in an Internet start-up would you encounter a boss asking his employees if they want to work less.
"Are you saying we should cut back the hours?" asks Debbie Zambetti, the managing editor and, at 27, the eldest employee.
O'Shea pauses. "Well . . . yes. I think if we're working fewer hours, we'd get a lot more done." This will later be called his "Get-A-Life Dictate."
Michael Keating pipes up. An ex-intern, NOLS alum, and the spunky "director of business development," Keating is that rare being at RedFilter in that he somehow manages to have a girlfriend. "I feel like a lot of our time is symbolic time," he says. "I think we need to get over the cliché that the more hours that you're here, the more you're doing for the company."
The problem is that to restrict symbolic time is to exile members from a belief system, the mythology of how a Net start-up is. In the minds of those knee-deep in milk crates and makeshift workstations, working anywhere elseor at least in any traditional careerisn't attractive because it's not devotional. This is why the atmosphere at places like RedFilter is almost cultish, where three meals a day can be eaten at the same desk and that can be considered "awesome." Where proselytizing is part of your job description. Where Weiss can actually feel "uncomfortable" that his boss is asking him to work less. "I can't tell you how nice it's been for me to have my own schedule," Weiss says. "At my old job, if you came in at 9:40 instead of 9:30, everybody was a dick to you. That was your punishment."
O'Shea closes the meeting by asking that every employee take lunch and dinner out of the office, and that they regularize their schedules to 10 a.m. to 9 p.m.
The following day, at 10 p.m., O'Shea, Keating, Weiss, and Zambetti are still at the office. Why get a life when your future is right there in front of you?
Spy Bar is crowded. It's an open-bar party for UBO.net, the yet-to-launch Urban Box Office Network. Though O'Shea would rather spend his Friday night "lying in bed in a dark room listening to Enya," he and the RedFilter office have dropped bytheir first party of the evening.
Because RedFilter doesn't plan on spending any money on advertising, networking is an essential part of the business. Weiss loves it. "I think for the first time in my life I'm learning how to be friendly and meet people," he says. "Suddenly, I'm passionate."
O'Shea encounters a woman at the bar, who refuses to talk about her own company. It's not clear whether it's top secret or whether she doesn't quite understand what the company does. O'Shea takes his drink back to the dance floor, where the other RedFilter folks are waiting. They dance in a tight circle in the crush; they stick close to each other.
The first generation of start-ups had the luxury of choosing strange names back when there were only a handful you had to remember. The second generation effectively registered the dictionary. The third gen realize they're screwed when it comes to a name. So you make one up, like flooz or Abuzz. Or you start compounding.
"Instead of going out for lunch, I would be at Register.com," says O'Shea. He and 24-year-old Nitin Kumar, RedFilter's VP of business strategy, came up with a list: bigtarget.com, petocto-pus.com, ideogram.com. Filter was a good word, they decided, but already taken. They tried fruits and vegetables, then colors. The word Rhino seemed promisingwhiterhino, electricrhino, petrhino, redrhino, robotrhinobut then Keating came up with "RedFilter." "Eventually you give up," says O'Shea. "You just say, 'Pick something and get on with it.' "

Facebook to test mobile payments service
More News from Associated Press
NEW YORK – Facebook plans to test a mobile payments service that lets users make purchases inside mobile applications using payment information they have added to their account on the social network.
Facebook Inc. said Thursday that it is working on a "very small test" and the company says there is no set schedule for making the service available to users. The service would use payment information that shoppers store on Facebook to automatically complete checkout forms of certain mobile apps. Then, the app would process the purchase.
Spokeswoman Tera Randall said in an e-mailed statement that Facebook has a "great relationship with PayPal, and this product is simply to test how we can help our app partners provide a more simple commerce experience."
The test, she added, won't involve moving payment processing "away from an app's current payments provider, such as PayPal."
Nonetheless, shares of PayPal's owner, eBay Inc. declined on news of the potential competition. The stock closed down $1.05, or 1.9 percent, at $53.18.
Facebook's stock closed down 9 cents at $36.56.
Forrester Research analyst Denee Carrington thinks Facebook will face a challenge in offering mobile payments even though the company has been building up its database of users' credit cards.
"Consumers want safe, seamless and convenient mobile payments and there are a growing number of competitors that consumers trust more — such as PayPal, Visa (V.me) and others," Carrington said in an e-mailed statement.
News of the test was reported earlier by AllThingsD.

Wrekonize ft. Jarren Benton & R.A. The Rugged Man - Floating Away (Remix)
Artist: Wrekonize
Featuring: Jarren Benton, R.A. The Rugged Man
Producer: WLPWR [for SupaHotBeats]
Album: #WrekWednesday
Avg Rating: 3.3 ( 4 votes )
The lack of gravity seems to be a widespread worry among artists in today's Booth lineup. This morning, India Shawn admitted that without her man by her side, she feels like she's in danger of Floating Away. Floating Away is also a concern of Florida phenom Wrekonize, but the feeling of weightlessness he describes on his latest #WrekWednesdays release has less to do with his love life than his smoking habits. Over WLPWR's disorienting sample work, the ¡MAYDAY! frontman spits intricate bars through a thick haze of blunt smoke. Joining Wrek for the remix, R.A. The Rugged Man shows off his polysyllabic chops in a hilarious middle 16 ("You less of a threat than the Pope in pajamas / You're softer than Barry Manilow singing Copacabana"), and Jarren Benton lends his rapid-fire flow to the final verse. Fans can find the album version of Floating Away on the headliner's acclaimed The War Within LP, released last year via Strange Music.

Woman trying to feed Santa's Land animals citedJune 26,2014Woman cited in
Santas Land incident
PUTNEY A member of a group thats been trying to feed the animals at the Santas Land attraction in Putney has been accused of trespassing.
Vermont Public Radio reported that Sarah Massucco received a citation Friday from the Windham County Sheriffs Department.
Massucco said she and others were throwing hay over the fence to the animals at the park, which has been closed since December. Theyve also been holding protests outside the park, saying the animals have been mistreated.
Earlier this year, the owner and caretaker pleaded not guilty to animal cruelty charges. Authorities said they found about a dozen dead animals, including deer, a potbellied pig and a peacock.
Windham County Sheriff Keith Clark said an officer is monitoring the park and the animals appear to be cared for.MORE IN This Just InStephen Goldberg is back with a vengeance.

Sikorsky's X2 demonstrator sets unofficial world record speed of 250 knots
By Darren Quick
September 21, 2010
Sikorsky Aircraft's coaxial X2 Technology demonstrator has achieved the 250-knot (287.69 mph) milestone that was established as the goal of the craft from its inception. The speed, which was achieved in level flight during a 1.1-hour flight on Wednesday, September 15, is an unofficial speed record for a helicopter, easily beating the current official world record that stands at 216.46 knots (249.1 mph) set by the British built Westland Lynx ZB-500 in 1986.
Earlier this year, the X2 demonstrator achieved a speed of 181 knots in a test flight – faster than the 160-170 knot (184-195 mph) speeds generally possible with conventional helicopters – but achieving a speed of 250 knots was always the ultimate aim for the X2 Technology program since its beginnings in 2005. The 250-knot milestone was reached at the Sikorsky Development Flight Center where the demonstrator also reached 260 knots (299.2 mph) in a very shallow dive during the flight.
"The aerospace industry today has a new horizon," said Sikorsky President Jeffrey P. Pino. "The X2 Technology demonstrator continues to prove its potential as a game-changer, and Sikorsky Aircraft is proud to be advancing this innovative technology and to continue our company's pioneering legacy."
The X2 Technology demonstrator combines an integrated suite of technologies intended to advance the state-of-the-art, counter-rotating coaxial rotor helicopter. It is designed to demonstrate that a helicopter can cruise comfortably at 250 knots while retaining such desirable attributes as excellent low-speed handling, efficient hovering, and a seamless and simple transition to high speed.
Kevin Bredenbeck, Sikorsky's Director of Flight Operations and Chief Pilot for the company and for its X2 Technology program, manned the milestone flight. Bredenbeck said the demonstrator has been performing well, meeting expectations of performance predictions and progressing with every test flight.
"Our primary key performance parameter has been met," said Jim Kagdis, Program Manager for Sikorsky Advanced Programs. "The 250-knot milestone was established as the goal of the demonstrator from its inception. It's exciting to imagine how our customers will use this capability."

Russia offers Ukraine gas 'discount' of $125 per 1,000 cubic m: Ukraine PM
Published on Jun 11, 2014 3:46 PM
KIEV (AFP) - Russia has offered Ukraine a "discount" of US$100 (S$125) per thousand cubic m of gas but Kiev has rejected the deal and is seeking a formal change to the rate set in the two sides' contract, Ukraine's Prime Minister said.
"We know these Russian games: A discount is set by a Russian government decision and rescinded by a Russian government decision. Our position remains the same - we want a change to the contract," Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk said.

Crystal Palace winger Thomas Ince is full of prise for teammate Yannick Bolasie.
Bolasie was Crystal PalaceŌĆÖs most effective attacker in SundayŌĆÖs 1-1 draw at Swansea City.
And Ince is a big admirer of the former Bristol City wideman.
ŌĆ£Some of the things he does with a football - it amazes me,ŌĆØ said Ince to the South London Press.
ŌĆ£HeŌĆÖs always working hard on his end product and his shooting. The gaffer has said ŌĆścan you get some goals and add it to your gameŌĆÖ.
ŌĆ£Yala is still young. HeŌĆÖs not at the end of his career where youŌĆÖre saying ŌĆśis it too late?ŌĆÖ.
ŌĆ£Yala has got plenty of time to work on what he needs to do. If he can add that final product - which IŌĆÖm sure he will - then he will be the full package.
ŌĆ£In the second half at Swansea he was unbelievable. It was difficult in the first half. We couldnŌĆÖt really get that high up the pitch and he was trying to beat three or four players - thatŌĆÖs difficult.ŌĆØ

I hate myself, usually. If i'm not exercising, working or hanging out with friends, I'm sad. I love to play my guitar, mostly metal stuff, and I enjoy singing Alexisonfire songs and Rise Against songs. I hope to become a famous musician one day, mostly so I can give the money I make to charity. I love to cook, but I want to get tattoos and you need to be un-inked to be a pro-chef. So now I'm just focusing on becoming a musician... I hate hate hate talking about my feelings, and things that bother me. I am very protective of my friends and family, I don't give a crap about... I hate children, They're disgusting, I hate overly fat people, who think it's OK and sexy to be over-weight. That's just wrong. Anyways, I love to be cheery, sometimes I actually am too! My passion is my guitar, It's like my child, except without the crying and pooping. The only problem I have with knowing a musical intrument is, once I mastered my guitar, I can't help but analyze ever piece of music I listen to, it's kind of annoying. My hiccups sound fake, they sound like a squeak, and my sneezes sound like a giggle and a squeak. I make weird high-pitched noises.
I live to please those I love, I enjoy putting aside my problems to help others. I know I'll get my time to share my feelings, but I just have this overwhelming-ness to put others before myself. Yes, I think it's unhealthy, but I love the person I am, eating disorder and all.

Spider-Man 2, the highly anticipated follow-up to Activision's 2002 smash hit, is the first game to fully immerse players in the role of Spider-Man and propels them into a living city teeming with common criminals, super villains and pedestrians. Set in a massive free-roaming, do-anything, virtual city, players swing from buildings, sling webs on structures, dive from roof tops to sidewalks, jump across skyscrapers and scale tall heights as they patrol and protect the city from the nefarious Doc Ock. Based on the plot of the movie and extending beyond the film with other diabolical Marvel villains, additional missions and random events, Spider-Man 2 is the most in-depth Super Hero game to date

Spider-Man 2
On the one hand we have the game's exellent presentation and pretty good gameplay, but on the other hand we have its incredibly short lifespan.
Spider-man 2
All in all, Spider-Man 2 is a good game with some shortcomings and a playing length that's way too short.

2010 .Net MAster Detail Form Not Saving Record?Nov 15, 2011
I am new to VB.net and have created a simple master detail windows form. I created a two table data set and then dropped the master table on the form as a continues form or a detail form with several text boxes to hold the data. The child form is a data grid.
test data that I have added directly to the database shows up with the proper parent child relationships on the form. I can also enter new records into the database using the parent only portion of my form.
When I attempt to enter a complete record with data in both the parent form and the child data grid I get this error. The INSERT statement conflicted with the FOREIGN KEY constraint
I have searched for a possible reason for this error but can not find any explanation. I have noted in earlier versions of VB.net you had to enter code to save the child record, but the VB 2010 code does not seem to use the same syntax so I assumed the UpdateAll eliminated the need for the extra code

Full or twin bed?
Comments (6)
Our girls have the same crib-toddler-full beds. Fynnie's in the toddler bed right now, but we are looking forward to switching her as soon as she's night potty trained. Which will happen as soon as she is even a little potty trained, I'm sure.

We put LO in a full because then she won't outgrow it down the road. Plus, I feel better with her in it as much as she moves around at night, I think she'd fall out of a twin a lot more (she likes to sleep sideways).
Lauren Elizabeth....8/29/10
Gavin Dean arrived on 7/3/12
We had a converter crib set as well but I was so tired of looking at the set. I almost went with a day bed trundle since we deal with reflux and some nights I end up laying with her. I found a sweet deal for a bedroom set on craigslist with a full size head board so we got a new mattress set. Soooo happy I did! I put it against the wall and on the other side got a rail. She is all over that bed! We snuggle in it and I have had to sleep in there a few nights and I get to sprawl out.
I grew up with a twin day bed w/trundle and I loved it though. I had a bed for friends when they slept over and I had a ton of room to play.

Self-healing materials could lead to safer nuclear reactors
Safety first ... the reactor core of the Gosgen Nuclear Power Plant (Photo: Kernkraftwerk Gosgen-Daniken AG / Creative Commons)
Article Summary
One of the key challenges when designing nuclear reactors is finding materials that can withstand the massive temperatures, radiation, physical stress and corrosive conditions of these extreme environments. Exposure to high radiation alone produces significant damage at the nanoscale, so scientists at Los Alamos National Laboratory, New Mexico, have been working on a mechanism that allows nanocrystalline materials to heal themselves after suffering radiation-induced damage. This gives hope for materials that will improve the reliability, safety and lifespan of nuclear energy systems.

Let me tell you a little bit about myself, my background, and my passion for America. My story consists of three components: growing up, working life, and serving others.
I grew up in Bellflower, California in a Loving Christian family, where the values of being responsible for your actions mattered, as my family believed most of us were taught in homes and schools at that time. From my father I learned the value of work. My father didn't believe in giving any of us kids an allowance for the work we did around the house. He looked at that work as a part of learning to be a responsible family member. If we wanted spending money, we had to earn it, and we did. During those years I usually had an after-school job, reinforcing my belief that a good work ethic is essential to success.
Those jobs ranged from passing out flyers, to mopping floors, to a dishwasher, shining shoes, pumping gas, bottling and selling milk. My work ethic was always strong. I never viewed these jobs as drudgery; I viewed them as normal, that it was important to work, to earn, and to pay my own way. I never believed that my parents, or the government, owed me anything. I did expect that my family would ensure that I had a roof over my head, food to eat, and clothes to wear. I don't recall government assistance ever being discussed within my family.
I began my political "career" in 1956, passing out small pocket-sized Presidents books in support of President Eisenhower. I was nine years old. I have been active in politics to one degree or another ever since.
My adult working life first started in the steel industry and then in the food industry. I started out on the ground floor, and rose to become an executive with several food companies in California. I had clients such as Wal-Mart, Sam's Club, Costco, Kroger Markets, Safeway. Trader Joe's, and Albertsons. I was responsible for large numbers of people, a budget, product development, logistics, marketing and revenue goals. Again, accountability and responsibility was just a normal way of life to me.
My wife, Jean, and I started a property management company and, at one point, we owned more than 30 properties that included apartments, houses, raw land, and commercial buildings in California, Iowa, Idaho and Arizona. We also took an interest in antiques, and opened an antique store in Iowa which was successful as a business and a property as well.
During our lives my wife and I felt as Christians we were called to help others, to reach out in order to make life better for those less fortunate. In 1976 I opened a Halfway House in Bellfower, California. This facility was open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. We took in men of all ages, helping them to conquer addictions to drugs or alcohol; we helped those who suffered traumatic discouragement, and homelessness. We helped them to get sober, find jobs, reunite with their families and find their way back into society.
We started and operated a Christian coffee house, which was a "drop-in" facility. We helped and counseled anyone who came to us. We stayed open 12-14 hours each day, 6 days a week. This was all done while we both held full time jobs, generating the income we needed in order to support this work we valued.
We saw the need to reach out to young people in the skid row area of Hollywood, California. Our focus was on runaway and homeless teenagers. We helped both the teenagers who came to us and those in other areas who heard of us. Several of the teenagers that came to us decided, in time, to return home. This was a very satisfying experience.
We began an outreach program further south, near Rosarita Beach, Mexico or as some call it Baja California, with a destitute family consisting of a grandmother, two daughters, and five children. Over time this small group grew to be a village of over 200 people. We went there every other weekend, bringing flour, beans, rice, and other staples. We also brought them clothing, blankets, and other basic items along with, of course, Bibles. This program continued until the late 1980s when it was determined that I needed surgery for my back. We found a Nazarene Missionary whom we had contacted through a pastor we knew in Bellflower, Ca., and he eagerly took over this program.
It's important to understand that: a) We started and ran these programs using our own money. The government had no involvement and b) To us this was one of the finest ways of being of service to others.
We reached a point where we decided that it was time to settle down in one place, so we sold all of our holdings except for the home we now own in Sun City West, AZ.
In 2004 I was given the opportunity to go "on air" in radio in California, and have been on the air ever since. I've been on the radio in California, but also in Idaho, Florida, and now in Arizona. The format of my shows was politics, "Crossroads with Van." I interviewed office holders, candidates, discussed the issues of the day, and provided analysis and commentary. Even though I'm officially retired now, I still do some talk radio, on the Internet.
Politically, I'm the past President of The Greater Phoenix Tea Party Patriot Group. I was also the sole sponsor and host for the Saluting Patriots Concert at the Wigwam Resort in August of 2011 to raise monies for several veterans groups. I also put together a Second Amendment Rally at the Capitol in March of 2013. I also speak at various venues around the valley.
We have a daughter, grandchildren, and a great grandson, and we're concerned about the future for all of them. What kind of country are we going to leave behind for them, and for that matter, all the children of this great country? This question is what drives me.
My wife and I have been Precinct Committeemen and State Committeemen in the GOP since 2009, and sponsored candidate forums during the last three election cycles. But why did I finally decide to run for office?
I follow what's going on in our country very closely. I measure our Constitution against the laws that Congress keeps passing that have no authority behind them, and it is extremely disappointing. I have spoken about it, written about it, and talked about it on the air. But I really wasn't convinced that I wanted to run for a political office, even though I had been approached and encouraged to do so several times. When an Arizona US Senate seat became vacant I was again approached several times and asked to run for it. Though I believed that our outreach programs and my political involvement from the outside were enough, my wife and I talked and prayed about whether I should run. In the end, I decided that I would run for the U.S. Senate from Arizona in 2012 or as my wife put it to me, "You have a duty, so we tried however discovered that even though the polls said registered Republicans wanted to remove incumbents we lost, as the voters in AZ decided to stay with a well known Congressman Mr. Flake who now joins Sen. McCain in his push push for Legal Status.
Though I spoke with and met with thousands of people across our great state, and received very high marks and acceptance, in the end I was defeated. Some polls since that election showed that I now have 40% or more of the votes if the voters cast their ballots today—that is if you believe what they call reverse polling. It's a small consolation, but my message was clear: We are a Constitutional Representative Republic based on Judeo-Christian principles, yet are being dictated to by a federal government that seemingly ignores the Constitution at every turn. I lost the election, or as I call it a battle, but not my confidence in the citizens of Arizona, as we continue to believe that if those in DC continue to serve the special interest groups the voters will see that the only way to fix the problems in America is by replacing those in office.
After many meetings with several people, and a long period of time studying the voting record of the current occupant of the U.S. House seat from Arizona in CD 8, it was clear to me, and to others, that we are not being served very well by our Representative in Congressional District 8, after several meetings, and prayer we decided to run in 2012, we tried to unseat an incumbent Rep. in CD 8 who'd been in office for 12 yrs., however discovered that even though the polls said registered Republicans wanted to remove incumbents by 86% we lost 73% to 27%, not a bad showing considering that others who challenged him in Primaries from 06 – 12 hadn't gotten above 20%, however once again those in the CD 8 decided to stay with an Incumbent.
Other states are also beginning to challenge incumbents who have not and are not serving their constituents, in their respective states, or their country. If this wave of conservatism continues, we'll see a sea wave of change in the House of Representatives in 2017.
I want to thank you for taking the time to read this statement and hope you'll join us in our attempt once again to unseat the incumbent of now 14 yrs.
God Bless You All;
Clair Van Steenwyk

Quality Time Most Important for Babies
New study good news for working moms with infants
HealthDay News — Working mothers with infants at home, take a breath or a sigh of relief. According to a new study, it's quality of time spent with baby — not quantity — that helps guide a toddler's social and intellectual development.
Researchers from the University of Texas at Austin compared women who didn't work outside the home and spent a lot of time with their infants to women who were employed outside the home and spent less time with their infants. They found no differences in the children's development up to three years of age.
"I would say the big news here is the amount of time that mothers spend with their children does not seem to be that important; it is the quality of the interaction, not just the amount of time," said Aletha Huston, the lead author and a professor of human development at the University of Texas at Austin.
The results appear in the March-April 2005 issue of the journal Child Development.
Huston and her co-author, Stacey Rosenkrantz Aronson, looked at 24-hour diaries detailing the daily schedules of 1,053 mothers of infants, collected as part of the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development's study of early child care. A total of 580 of the moms in the study were employed and 473 were not.
The researchers watched videotaped observations of the mothers' interaction with their babies during the babies' first year of life, to see how sensitive the mothers were to the children's needs. They also visited the family at home to evaluate the quality of the home environment.
Overall, Huston and Aronson found that the amount of time the moms spent with their babies was not a critical determinant of strong mom-child relationships.
They then assessed the children's intellectual and social development at ages 15 months, 2 years and 3 years.
The amount of time spent with the infant, and whether the mother worked or not, had no effect on the child's social and intellectual development during the three years, the researchers found.
One finding that might surprise some: Employed moms spent more time with their babies than expected, given their busy schedules. There also weren't great differences in time spent with infants, especially on the weekend, between working- and nonworking moms.
For instance, nonemployed mothers spent an average of 146 minutes in social interaction with their babies on a given weekday, whereas working mothers spent almost 90. On the weekend, working mothers actually spent more time in social interaction with their babies than nonworking mothers — 157 minutes compared to almost 129 for nonworking moms.
The working women tend to compensate on the weekends for time away from babies during the week, Huston said. And they find the time to interact with their child — often by cutting down on leisure-time activities for themselves, or in sleep or household activities.
The study fills in a gap in research, Huston said, about the effect of maternal employment and time spent with young children.
"Years ago we argued whether child care and working had a bad effect on young kids three and four years old," she said. "Now we all take for granted that it is OK."
"Where the controversy still exists is the first year of life," she said. "Some argue that fulltime maternal employment is not good for babies under one year. We are saying it is not the amount of time that mothers spend with their children that seems to matter for babies. It is more the characteristics of the mothers."
Another expert, Dr. Sarah L. Friedman, praised the research. Friedman, project scientist and scientific coordinator for the NICHD's Study of Early Child Care, was not involved in this particular analysis but is familiar with the findings. "The findings provide support for the prediction that mothers who spend more time with their infants, particularly time devoted to social interaction, are more sensitive and provide higher quality home environments during the child's early years," she said.
Based on the study findings, she added, it appears that employed women compensate for lost time with their children during the week by increasing the time with their infants on the weekends.
But she added a caveat: "One reason that maternal time may fail to predict children's development is that the authors have insufficient information about the content and quality of the interactions between mother and child."

Years of experimentation have shown three fish species are best suited for Iowa ponds. Largemouth Bass and Bluegill are the primary species stocked in ponds, and must be stocked in combination with each other if a good fishery is desired. Channel catfish are also recommended for pond stocking because they are popular with Iowa anglers and provide excellent fishing. All three species are available from many private hatcheries in Iowa.
Correct Stocking is a MUST for good fishing
Some of Iowa's best fishing for Largemouth Bass, Bluegill, and Channel Catfish is provided by properly stocked farm ponds. The recommended stocking for a one acre farm pond (to provide good fishing in two years and excellent fishing by the third year) is:
The Iowa DNR's recommended stocking rate is successful and well respected because it is based on research funded by fishing license dollars. This research was initiated to assist landowners in their efforts to provide quality angling to fellow Iowans.
Iowa ponds contain about 250 pounds of Bluegill per surface acre of water; hence, this species will provide most of the fishing in a pond. Harvest of Bluegill can be started the second year after stocking. Bluegill limits need not be imposed on private ponds because they are plentiful.
Largemouth Bass populations in a balanced Iowa pond will reach 50-75 lbs/acre, approximately 1/5 that of bluegill. Largemouth Bass should not be removed from the pond until the fourth year after stocking. No more than 15 bass/acre over 14 inches in length should be removed annually. Greater harvest rates will reduce the quality of both Largemouth Bass and Bluegill fishing.

The Great Gatsby
by F. Scott Fitzgerald
The Great Gatsby Chapter 4 Quotes
How we cite the quotes:
Citations follow this format: (Chapter.Paragraph)
Quote 1
By the next autumn she was gay again, gay as ever. She had a debut after the Armistice, and in February she was presumably engaged to a man from New Orleans. In June she married Tom Buchanan of Chicago, with more pomp and circumstance than Louisville ever knew before. He came down with a hundred people in four private cars, and hired a whole floor of the Seelbach Hotel, and the day before the wedding he gave her a string of pearls valued at three hundred and fifty thousand dollars. (4.135)
Money might not make you happy, but there's some consolation in a $350K string of pearls. If you have to be depressed, you might as well be depressed on a yacht, right?
Quote 2
"Here, deares'." She groped around in a waste-basket she had with her on the bed and pulled out the string of pearls. "Take 'em down-stairs and give 'em back to whoever they belong to. Tell 'em all Daisy's change' her mind. Say: 'Daisy's change' her mine!'" (4.129)
Talk about cold feet. Daisy knows that the fabulously expensive string of pearls that Tom gave her is about to become a chain. When she's drunk, she wants to change her mind and marry the man she truly loves. In the cold and sober (and probably a little hungover) light of day, however, she does what she was born to do: marry the rich guy.
Quote 3
"When I said you were a friend of Tom's, he started to abandon the whole idea. He doesn't know very much about Tom, though he says he's read a Chicago paper for years just on the chance of catching a glimpse of Daisy's name." (4.152)
Love? Or stalker-ish obsession? Do you think he has some creepy stalker wall in a secret room of his house? We wouldn't be surprised.

Curious about the newer model? Check out the 2015 Nissan LEAF
By KBB.com Editors
KBB Expert Rating: 7.1
The first pure electric-powered vehicle introduced by a major automaker, the 2011 Nissan LEAF heralds the dawn of a new era of ultra-clean motoring. Although distribution will be geographically limited and its numbers will be supply-constrained to only 20,000 units during the initial year of sales, all of those units have already been spoken for by eco-minded buyers and Nissan is gearing up its Smyrna, Tennessee, assembly plant to produce 50,000 of these five-passenger mid-size hatchback sedans here annually starting in 2012. With a 100-mile nominal range, driving characteristics that effectively mirror conventionally-powered cars and a surprisingly affordable price tag made even more attractive by various incentives, the LEAF is a legitimate and very real alternative choice, particularly for those considering its primary rival, the Extended-Range Electric Vehicle (E-REV) 2011 Chevrolet Volt.
No question that card-carrying Greenies who think EVs are the future and the future is now will love the new Nissan LEAF. Others will simply have to decide if a vehicle with its admirable cost-to-benefit ratio makes the most sense as a second or third commuter car or as a substitute for a conventional hybrid.
Drivers with unpredictable daily schedules, long commutes and/or budgets that will support only one car will be better off with a standard compact/mid-size vehicle, some type of hybrid – or the LEAF's high-profile but pricier rival for eco plaudits, the Chevrolet Volt.
The electric-powered Nissan LEAF is nothing less than a revolutionary step in the advancement of modern ultra-clean automotive design. It combines user-friendly technology in a practical, affordable package that should appeal to anyone who can live within its per-charge range limitations.
Driving Impressions Nissan has always contended that its ultra-clean character aside, the LEAF would deliver the same basic driving experience as any conventional competitor. Having put it through a variety of real-world...paces, from urban stop-and-go to rolling two-lane backroads to formal freeway hauling, we can confirm that promise of functional transparency has been kept. Initial acceleration is brisk, ride compliance good and it's surprisingly capable when the going does get twisty. While calling it "sporty" would be an overstatement – especially in ECO mode – the LEAF does respond to all control inputs in a confidently predictably manner. Admittedly a tad numb on center, the LEAF's electric power steering is direct and decently weighted while its Versa-based suspension bits keep body roll fairly well in check. The effect of its regenerative braking, while noticeable, is hardly intrusive. Even the low-rolling resistance tires serve up more grip than expected, allowing, if not encouraging, at least a modicum of spirited motoring.
Green to the core
Nothing is absolutely emission-free, but with its pure electric powertrain the new Nissan LEAF comes as close as possible to zeroing out its carbon footprint. To complement that exemplary level of eco-friendliness, nearly 95 percent of all components in this groundbreaking vehicle are recyclable.
Enlightened touch-screen navigation system
In addition to guiding you to your destination and presenting various points of interest along the way, the navigation package in the LEAF graphically depicts the range limits of your out-and-back travel per charge as well as the location of all nearby commercial recharging locations.
The 2011 Nissan LEAF's well-isolated, full-featured cabin matches understated contemporary flair with a high level of user friendliness. A technical mid-size offering, it seats five, teaming decently formed front buckets with a utility-enhancing 60/40 rear bench seat that will pamper a pair of full-size adults, accommodate a trio of kids or fold to upsize cargo space from 11.7 to 24.0 cubic feet. Like much of its interior trim, all of the people perches are covered in fully recycled/recyclable material. Basic control functions are all logically arrayed, although getting comfortable with the megaload of vehicle and systems information that can be called up at any time does require a bit of personal orientation.Exterior
Distinctively – and some might contend controversially – styled, the LEAF's five-door hatch design was created to optimize total operating efficiency. Its aerodynamic lines coupled with various other streamlining elements yield a 0.29 coefficient of drag while helping to minimize wind noise that can become much more noticeable when you eliminate the sounds normally created by an internal combustion engine. Low-draw LED headlights and tail lamps bookend the package to further help extend the LEAF's potential operating range. Properly filling its nicely flared fender wells are 205/55 Bridgestone Ecopia low-rolling resistance tires wrapped around lightweight aluminum wheels.
Beyond its advanced all-electric powertrain and on-board charger/charging cord, the LEAF's lengthy features roster includes a full array of power assists, driver-selectable/eco-encouraging digital readouts, real-time navigation/vehicle-information systems, a six-speaker AM/FM/CD/MP3 audio package with iPod/USB connectivity, Bluetooth and available XM Satellite Radio, sophisticated trip computer, electric climate control system, Intelligent Key push-button starting, the ability to use web-enabled smartphones to monitor and control various on-board systems/functions. In addition to its vehicle dynamics/traction control systems, the LEAF also has front/front-side/side-curtain airbags. The $940 step up from SV to SL trim brings a RearView Monitor, rear-spoiler solar panel, fog lamps and automatic headlights.
2011 Nissan LEAF extras are minimal to say the least. A Cold Package for both the SV and SL adds heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, heated mirrors, extra rear-seat heater ducts and dedicated temperature management circuitry, while SL buyers also can opt for a supplemental Quick Charge Port capable of delivering an 80 percent recharge in 30 minutes at dedicated public charging stations. Also on offer is a 220V home charger. Projected to cost about $2,200 installed – half or less after various credits – this hard-wired unit cuts recharging time to roughly eight hours compared to the 20 needed on a basic 110V plug-in.
Energized by a 24kWh Lithium-ion-manganese-graphite battery pack mounted beneath its floor and warranted for eight years/100,000 miles, the LEAF's 80kW/107-horsepower motor/generator develops 206.5 pound-feet of torque from zero rpm. Sent to the front wheels via a single-speed reduction gear, it makes this 3,370-pound Nissan surprisingly quick off the line, takes it to 60 mph in around 10 seconds and lets it reach 90 mph. While temperature extremes and driving conditions will impact real-world range, a selectable ECO mode that that rolls back throttle response and steps up the regenerative braking effect can help stretch its nominal 100-mile per-charge potential by roughly 10 percent. Nissan says recharging will run $3 or less and that unless gasoline dips below $1.10/gallon, the LEAF's "fuel" costs will be less than a conventional car that averages 25 mpg.

"I bought a 2015 SL after leasing a 2013 SV. In 2 years I put 30,000 miles on my last LEAF. I had absolutely NO maintenance issues with the car. It has more features than other cars its size. It is fun to drive. You have to come into it knowing what you are getting. I routinely go 80 miles in mixed driving without a problem. My daily commute is 64 miles round trip and I never have a concern. Sure the range is lower in the winter and is a bit less with the heat or AC on, but hasn't even ben an issue with my commute, Nissan has reworked the battery chemistry since the first model came out in 2011 and there is much less battery degradation. I saw none in 2 years. To address that someone said the battery costs $12000, not true. A replacement is $6000 installed, but it is warrantied for 8 years/100,000 miles from a bad cell and for 5 years/60,000 to hold a capacity of at least 70%. I have seen so loss in 2 years so I am confident it this cars battery quality. Of course I know that range will eventually decrease but the value is outstanding. I installed a 220 charging station in my garage and it charges quickly. If it was completely run down, it would charge in 4 hours, but I rarely ever run it down, so charge times are less. There are also free charging station ALL OVER the Dallas area. A charging station can be had for $500 but then it is yours forever. But you may need to install a 220 outlet if you don't have one. Sometimes Nissan gives these stations away with the car. So I pay 2.5 cents/mile for electricity vs 15 in my pickup. Also there are plenty of incentives. $7500 federal rebate is still available. It is actually a credit. So if you pay that much in Federal Taxes, you WILL get that amount back (or off) your tax bill when you file the next year. If you only pay say $6000 in taxes, that is all you will get back. I also received $2500 Texas rebate which runs until June 2015 unless renewed. Several other state offer rebates as well. Add that to offers from Nissan, you can get this car cheap. It is what it is, a commuter car. Its not a Tesla and wasn't meant to be. But it does its job extremely well."

"This has been the best new car I have ever purchased (about 4th). All worked as published, and you can see a lot of thought went in from the bottom up to make this an efficient car that still feels like a "real" car. There are several indicators to let you know how efficiently you are driving - so up to you whether you want to be a lead foot or not - and how much energy distance you have left. The only thing that has worn in 31,000 miles are the tires."

"I have had my 2014 Nissan Leaf SV since Feb 2014 and regularly tell people it is the best car i have even owned. I have a 85km round trip commute each day and have recently reached 21,000km. This car impresses me on a daily basis and we even use it to drive up the ski hill after work, after 20min top up at home on the level 2 charger. Outdoor weather proof charger from home depot is $950, no garage required. I regularly use the leaf to drive around 4 10yr olds to soccer with all the balls and gear in the trunk. Have even used it for a few 200km family road trips, just takes a bit of planning to map out the quick charge stations. Currently looking to buy a 2nd one for my wife as it's a great car and highly recommend it."

Jogwa - The Awakening (Marathi: जोगवा) is a National Film Award winning 2009 Marathi film directed by Rajiv Patil and produced under iDream Productions & Screenplay by Sanjay Krishnaji Patil. It stars Uupendra Limaye and Mukta Barve in the lead roles while Priya Berde, Vinay Apte, Sharvani Pillaai and Kishor Kadam essay supporting roles.
The film received five awards at the national film awards for 2008.[1] National Film Award for Best Film on Social Issues, National Film Award for Best Actor for Uupendra Limaye, National Film Award for Best Music Direction for Ajay Atul, National Film Award for Best Male Playback Singer for Hariharan for song "Jeev Rangla" and National Film Award for Best Female Playback Singer for Shreya Ghoshal for the same song.
It contains strong romantic elements, that explores the life of a rural people from Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, and Maharashtra who are the devotees of Goddess Yellamma, known as "Jogtin" (female) and "Jogta" (male); are treated as sex slaves and viewed with a mixture of semi-respect and disdain. Rajiv Patil's substitution of hysterics for nuanced drama means the pic probably has a greater chance of getting its worthy message across to locals rather than fest auds, though Subcontinental sidebars may be roused by the fascinating subject.
Jogwa actually means alms given to a person, usually known as a Jogta or a Jogtin. They are forced by the society to give up everything and serve God. A jogta has to give up the fact of being a man and suppress all his desires. A jogtin is expected to give up herself, she cannot get married, have children or have a life of her own.
This tradition was followed in the rural areas in the ancient times and like any tradition was flexible enough for those in power to misuse it. It is known to be still followed in some villages in Karnataka. Jogwa is a love story between jogta played by Uupendra Limaye and jogtin played by Mukta Barve. The story is adapted and based on three novels - Chaundak and Bhandar Bhog by Dr Rajan Gavas and Darshan by Charuta Sagar.
A heart wrenching tale that exposes the hypocrisies and exploitations of an oppressed society harrowed by archaic traditions and plagued by superstitions in the heart of rural India, Jogwa is a poignant tale of one woman's inspiring journey to break free from the shackles of discrimination, sexual oppression and servitude and find true happiness.

I feel a lot of large body parts in the front of my belly, so I think that's a good thing as far as the baby's position. During the day I often sit upright rather than reclined, but I know I'm at risk since I have an anterior placenta. I hear you, though, regarding positioning and reclining. It is definitely a good idea to do some optimal positioning exercises, though, either way, since it is so easy for the baby to move from anterior to posterior or vice versa. For now, I'm going to sleep in the recliner at least some of the time, since it is important to get good rest!
I noticed lately that you can get a "zero gravity" chair for about $60, if you're not buying a recliner because of cost. They're basically like a chez lounge (did I spell that right?). My acupuncturist uses them in her office and it seemed pretty comfortable.

Just thought I'd bump this thread to point out that lecithin from eggs seems to help a lot with SPD. You can either buy it as a supplement or just try to get more eggs in your diet.

Good to know, Devaskyla!! I am in miserable f'ing pain lately. To the point of crying at night from switching positions. I'm even cursing as I get out of bed as of late. The pubic pain is unbarable. If this baby goes over 40 weeks, I'll insist on my water being broken. Not sure how much more of this I can handle without going on bedrest

I found that my pelvic pain showed up earlier with each subsequent pregnancy. My youngest is 4 and I want another one, but have really been hesitant because the pain is so bad!!
I'm so sorry. I hope you can make it through without too much pain.

The Vigilance and Anti-Corruption Bureau (VACB) on Wednesday said it would seek Government sanction to prosecute ten senior Corporation officials, including the former Mayor J. Chandra, on the charge of bending rules to issue a building permit to a private firm to construct a multi-storied apartment complex at Kowdiar junction in 2004 in violation of zonal regulations.
Those named as accused in the case (VC/1/2010/Southern Range Thiruvananthapuram) also included Abdul Rasheed, the managing director of the firm, the architect of the building, several senior town planning officers, building inspectors and a former secretary of the Thiruvananthapuram Development Authority (TRIDA).
The VACB has booked the suspects on the charge of conspiring to abuse their position as public servants to obtain for themselves or for others undue pecuniary advantage under sections 120 (b) of the Indian Penal Code and sections 13 (2) r/w 131 (d) of the Prevention of Corruption Act respectively.
The VACB said it found serious irregularities in the issuance of building permit to construct the 38 m multi-storied apartment complex at the landmark junction.
Investigators said the Detailed Town Planning Scheme for the Museum-Kowdiar Avenue unambiguously prohibited the construction of any new building higher than 7.5 m from the road level on the arterial heritage stretch. The scheme also specified that any construction on the stretch should not be commercial in nature or more than two floors high.
The town planners had listed all the land survey numbers to which the plan applied. The VACB said that all other buildings on the stretch, including the Air India's office, complied with the scheme. The high rise was constructed on survey number 3650, which fell under the scheme.
In 2004, a committee chaired by the Mayor gave sanction to the firm to construct an apartment complex on the plot in reciprocation for surrendering less than one cent of land to the Government widening the road.
In 2005, Senior Town Planner G. Suresh Kumar reported to the Government that the sanction was accorded in violation of existing rules and subsequently the State Government ordered the Corporation to revoke the building permit.
The firm moved the High Court and obtained a stay against the order. Subsequently, the High Court allowed buyers to occupy the constructed flats and directed the Corporation to issue them TC numbers.
The VACB registered its case on a complaint filed by M. Krishnan Nair, a citizen. The prosecution case is that the building was constructed in violation of the provisions of the various sanctioned town planning schemes and master plans.
At the behest of the VACB, Government engineers have calculated the pecuniary advantage allegedly gained by the accused by selling the flats. Deputy Superintend of Police Reji Jacob investigated the case.

I need advice on which motherboard will best enhance or use max pc gaming performance.
I'm currently using the ff:

nobody else uses this computer but me.... i play the online game "world of tanks" This setup although old was the best i could find in our area.....
I only have to choose between: >ASUS P5G41T-M LX3 >ASROCK G41C-S >GIGABYTE G41M-Combo (rev. 2.0)
Which of these three motherboards would maximize my gaming performance?

To be honest you really need to think of several components working together to produce a decent gaming experience. These components would be Motherboard, CPU, Graphics card, RAM.
All the motherboards you have chosen are socket 775 which is old tech and you should be looking at socket 1155 from Intel or AM3 from AMD.
Just changing your motherboard is not going to give you any gaming benefit whatsoever.

Not that I'm supporting Chronos the 2nd but you do need the whole package to enjoy your gaming experience. Its not about the motherboard only.

Great. Thanks for the information.
Thanks for sharing!
Thanks, vegan would quite possibly avoid fish though. Perhaps I did not get the connection..
Thanks for sharing
Woops.... *eat regularly, include...
I eat three on this list, but don't have trouble getting enough calcium in my diet. The organic almond and coconut milks I drink are also higher in calcium than cow's milk. Other vegan sources of calcium that I eat include regularly green leafy vegetables, raw fennel, amaranth, beans (navy, white, great northern, etc.), oranges, apricots, black berries, dates, chickpeas, sesame seeds, tahini, nuts (almonds, peanuts, brazil nuts, walnuts) and nut butters, chia seeds, flax seeds, dill, basil, etc.
Spices that are a good source of calcium include: celery seeds, dill (seeds & weed), poppy seeds, fennel, cumin, coriander, caraway, anise, yellow mustard, peppermint, spearmint, fenugreek, basil and parsley. I regularly use these spices in my cooking, boosting my intake of calcium and other minerals.

They suffered crop failure after using transgenic seeds
SALEM: Agriculture Minister Veerapandi S. Arumugam distributed compensation to 87 cotton farmers who had suffered crop failure after using transgenic seeds of a multinational firm.
At the function organised near Omalur on Sunday, the Minister said that a total of 125 farmers in Kadaiyampatti, who took up cotton cultivation on 193 acres of land using the transgenic seeds of a private seed firm, suffered crop loss.
The State Government had taken up special initiative and asked the seed firm to compensate the affected farmers.
Following this, the firm had come forward to provide a sum of Rs. 9.65 lakh (at the rate of Rs. 5,000 for an acre) as compensation to the farmers, he said. The remaining farmers would be given compensation shortly, he added.
The Minister also stressed the need for educating farmers on transgenic seeds.
It was the responsibility of agriculture officials and seed firms to make farmers aware of the cultivation methods, application of fertilisers and pest management while using such seeds.
Many farmers in Tamil Nadu who used such seeds had witnessed high yields, while a few had suffered crop loss.
The Government had allowed the sale of such seeds after proper research, he said.
The Minister also handed over five new vehicles purchased at a cost of Rs. 21.25 lakh to the officials of seed certification department.
District Revenue Officer M. Rajarathinam presided over the function. Joint Director of Agriculture Janagan, Mettur Revenue Divisional Officer Shanthi and senior officials were present.

Nirmal Kumar, a property dealer from Andheri, is in the process of winding all his work and enjoy the last days of the year in the hills with his family. Kumar plans to vacation at a farmhouse in Matheran.
"As travelling has become expensive and there isn't much time as well, we decided to relax and enjoy the winter chill in the mountains and welcome the New Year," said Kumar, who is also an avid trekker.
Like Kumar and his family, Sanjay Nath, a research student from Dadar, too will be heading to a farmhouse in Karjat on the city's outskirts in the next couple of days. Nath has an all-boys outing planned to celebrate the week-long holiday he has taken from his research work. "It is better to end the year on a high note by going outside the city. The hills outside the city have a healing effect on body and soul," said Nath, who spent the previous Christmas and New Year at the same place.
According to the tourism experts and travel agents, scores of Mumbaikars are going to Karjat, Igatpuri, Mahabaleshwar, Panchgani and the beaches of Alibaug to ring in the New Year, with these turning out to be the top five holiday destinations for the city population.
"The rush is tremendous and all hotels are full, with the room rates touching the roof," said Abhey Sonawala of Welldone Travels, a travel agency in Santa Cruz.
Trade insiders reveal that despite the slowdown in the economy, a considerable number of travellers are spending big on luxury stay and activities. For budget travellers, the mantra has been to cut on shopping and reducing the number of vacation days, they added.
"The rush will increase in the next few days as more and more people will go out of the city to celebrate the New Year," said Sunita Singh of Anand Holiday from Igatpuri.
Singh, who runs an eight-room accommodation, added, "I have had to refuse so many customers in spite of them offering higher rates as all rooms have already been booked for the coming week."
Mahesh Chavan, an insurance executive from Bhayander who has planned to spend his week in Alibaug with family and friends, said, "The year has not been good for me on the professional as well as personal front. So, I just want to end it on a high note by dancing and remaining idle on the beach."

ANAHEIM – Michael Quigley was Savanna High School's longest-serving teacher, and its staff and students were his family.
He was the kind of teacher whose enthusiasm and longevity meant that he was now working with colleagues who he had inspired to become teachers when they were his students.
Quigley, 60, had just started his 29th year at Savanna and his 38th in the Anaheim Union High School District when he died Thursday of an apparent heart attack in his home.
News of his death spread quickly across campus and the district: A giant among teachers who had touched the lives of countless students at Savanna High – and at Brookhurst and South junior highs before that – was gone.
"He was a pillar at this school and his loss is being felt hard by all of us," said friend and fellow teacher Jon Hogencamp, Savanna's activities director. "We had an official plan for notifying all students, but by that time, it was news to nobody. Everybody had already heard."
It was the first of two deaths of an O.C. teacher in the past week. Woodbridge High teacher Kent Bentley collapsed in his classroom during Monday's lunch period and died.
Quigley had served in many roles, including as activities director. In recent years, Quigley – the social science department chairman – taught senior-level government classes.
This year's students had only known him a matter of weeks. And still, his death was felt across campus.
Counselors were brought in the day after his death to talk to teachers and students. They set out a roll of butcher paper for students who wanted to write notes honoring Quigley.
By day's end, the roll stretched more than 150 feet.
"And we're not talking about just 'R.I.P.' and 'We will miss you,' but really long, sincere and heartfelt messages," Hogencamp said.
When Hogencamp saw the outpouring of love, he quickly pulled together a candlelight vigil for Saturday night. He bought 500 candles to ensure he'd have plenty. More than 650 people attended the vigil and lit candles.
Quigley was a large man, topping 400 pounds. He'd recently lost 27 pounds and was planning a lap-band surgery to get to a healthier weight.
Quigley never married and had no children. A friend, former teacher Fred Maenpa, had planned to pick him up for a doctor's appointment on Thursday morning.
Maenpa phoned him the night before. When Quigley didn't answer, he assumed Quigley was watching the finale of his favorite TV show, "America's Got Talent."
