|Highway system
Illinois Route 390 (IL 390), previously called the Elgin–O'Hare Expressway, is an Interstate-standard freeway in northeast Illinois, United States. Contrary to its given name, the expressway does not enter either Elgin or O'Hare International Airport. However, the expressway connects existing local roads from Elgin to O'Hare Airport, and plans are underway to extend the expressway eastward to the edge of O'Hare. It currently connects U.S. Route 20 (US 20, Lake Street) in Hanover Park to the intersection with Illinois Route 53 (IL 53, Rohlwing Road) and Thorndale Avenue in Itasca.[3][4] The only other towns it borders are Schaumburg and Roselle. The IL 390 is 6.01 miles (9.67 km) long.[1]
Route description[edit]
IL 390 is a four-lane freeway located about 5 to 7 miles (8.0 to 11.3 km) to the south of Interstate 90 (I-90), which it parallels. From US 20, the highway travels over a half-mile-long (0.8 km) bridge over the Metra Milwaukee District West Line tracks, and some wetlands. The freeway then enters Cook County from DuPage County and intersects IL 19 (Irving Park Road). At Meacham Road, the freeway crosses back south into DuPage County.
The expressway is unusual in that both its termini have traffic signals with major arterial roads in the area. This arrangement causes large backups during weekday rush hours. According to the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT), average daily traffic counts (in 2003) for the IL 390 are 39,600 vehicles for the western two miles (3.2 km) and around 82,000 to 87,000 cars per day for the remainder.[3]
A four-lane arterial roadway continues east, named Thorndale Avenue. This road terminates at York Road near the western border of O'Hare Airport.
|Hanover Park–Schaumburg
|5.95 mi[1] (9.58 km)
|November 2, 1993[2]–October 29, 2013[5]
The expressway was considered in the late 1980s due to increasing congestion on local roads, especially US 20 (Lake Street). Although Lake Street was extensively widened prior to the completion of the expressway, initially to Glen Ellyn Road and then to the Roselle-Bloomingdale border nearly ten years later, its capacity was still insufficient for the rapidly growing western suburbs. Construction on the expressway began around 1991 and was completed two years later. Governor Jim Edgar opened the expressway at an afternoon ceremony on November 2, 1993.[2]
On October 29, 2013, IDOT announced that the freeway was redesignated IL 390 at groundbreaking ceremonies for the Elgin–O'Hare Western Access Project.[5]
Western extension[edit]
Original plans intended for the Elgin-O'Hare to continue westward from its interchange at US 20/Lake Street, circling around the Ontarioville neighborhood of Hanover Park to merge into Lake Street at the North Avenue intersection. This would create a smoother transition from US 20 onto the limited access portion. From there, the existing US 20 alignment would be used to connect the expressway to Elgin, although the section between the Elgin Bypass and North Avenue would have remained an arterial road with stoplights.[2] The existing US 20 interchange is designed to allow for a future westward expansion of the Elgin–O'Hare.
As of 2010[update] no western extension of the Elgin–O'Hare has been funded in Illinois's Five-Year Highway Improvement Plan. However, a western extension in some form continues to appear in long-range planning documents.[6]
The Village of Hanover Park has stated that its economic development in the southern portion of the village has been hampered by the delay of the western extension of the IL 390. The village has expressed interest in seeing it developed, not as a limited access freeway/tollway, but rather a controlled-access parkway or a regional arterial boulevard.[7]
Eastern extension[edit]
ISTHA [8] has started an ambitious eastward extension of the Elgin-O'Hare from its eastern terminus at IL 53 (Rohlwing Road) to a new interchange on the western border of O'Hare International Airport, where it will meet a west bypass of the airport connecting I-90 to the north and I-294 to the south. This interchange may also incorporate ramps into a planned western terminal at O'Hare. The official groundbreaking for the expansion took place on October 29, 2013.[5]
The highway will follow an alignment close to that of the existing Thorndale Avenue, through the communities of Itasca, Wood Dale, Elk Grove Village, and Bensenville.
These plans have caused controversy in the communities along and near the highway's proposed alignment, mostly related to issues of eminent domain. Concerned about large-scale taking of industrial properties for the new highway, Elk Grove Village and Bensenville protested any highway expansion through their towns, and Wood Dale was concerned about large-scale taking of private homes along the highway alignment. However, highway planners were able to choose an alignment that minimizes takings through these communities, and their respective governments have dropped any formal opposition.[9]
On August 25, 2011, the Illinois State Toll Highway Authority (ISHTA) approved a $12 billion capital plan, called the Move Illinois Project, doubling toll rates to fund it. The plan calls for the Elgin–O'Hare Expressway to be converted to a tollway, widened, and extended east to the planned O'Hare Western Bypass.[10] In January 2013, the United States Department of Transportation gave final approval to the project.[11] Funding approved as of 2014 includes $3.1 billion of the $3.4 billion estimated expenditure.
Construction on the eastern extension began in 2013. The first part was a rehabilitation and widening of the existing Elgin–O'Hare Expressway, especially construction of noise control walls.[12] The road will then be extended eastward to the western edge of O'Hare, where it will be connected to the O'Hare West Bypass. Conversion of the existing road to a tollway is planned, but the start date for toll collection will be a later phase of the project.
The east to west part of the project consists of several parts:[13]
- The Elmhurst Road interchange project which started with partial demolition of the Des Plaines Oasis near O'Hare International Airport to accommodate future needs of Interstate 490.
- The Route 390 project which includes initially widening the existing Elgin-O'Hare Expressway and enhancing several intersections with local roads.
- The I-290 interchange project which includes multiple flyover ramps to replace existing ground level traffic lights as well as bridge construction on Rowling Road to eliminate another traffic light.
Exit list[edit]
There are six exits as of 2014[update]. New exit signage on Route 390 carries exit numbers. In addition, ISTHA is installing mileage signs every quarter mile. Along the western portion of the expressway, the light poles are numbered with mileposts.

|Partially built interchange; current western terminus of the Elgin-O'Hare Expressway

Lots of fun
posted 7 years ago
This is a lot of fun but when you are done with it better put it up. As long as mine is in site my dogs bring it to me over and over again and probably would do this for hours. Very entertaining for them. Durable and washes well.
Pros: lots of fun
Cons: dog doesn't want to quit bringing it to me

A tour of Turkey is unique in that it gives you the chance to experience both European and Middle Eastern cultures in one fell swoop. Not only that, but with the varied attractions - from the historic city of Istanbul to the beautiful scenery of the Bosphorus, there is something for everyone. This is even true as you move toward the center of the country and into Cappadocia. The historical region is home to some of the most unusual natural formations in the world, and a visit to the stark landscape is truly a once in a lifetime experience.
Goreme Valley The dramatic landscape in Cappadocia is unlike anything else on Earth, and that is especially evident in Goreme Valley. The region is home to a popular national park that was designated as UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1985 and is particularly famous for its unique fairy chimney rock formations that dot the landscape. These unusual formations are the result of volcanic activity that rocked the area millions of years ago, and today they create views that would look more at home on the moon. The volcanic activity also created large networks of caves, some of which have been turned into homes and hotels.
Ihlara Valley Although the unusual natural formations are the largest draw of Cappadocia, the region is also home to some impressive pieces of architecture, and that is certainly the case in Ihlara Valley, but the buildings are unlike any you have ever seen. For instance, there are rumored to be hundreds of churches built throughout the remote region, and many of them were constructed into the walls of the canyon. Among the most famous is Agaçalti Church, which is believed to have been built between the 9th and 10th centuries.
Kayseri Cappadocia is not all remote landscapes, and Kayseri is there for travelers looking to get a taste of modern big city life. Home to around 1 million people, the city is a thriving hub of activity while also serving as a testament to the country's lengthy history. Some of its most impressive buildings are mosques dating back centuries including the Ulu Cami, which was built more than 800 years ago The entire city sits in the shadow of majestic Mount Erciyes, an extinct 12,848-foot volcano.
The scent of rich pine forests lingers in the breeze as the 13th-century ruins of Turaida Castle are revealed before your eyes in the lush Gauja River valley in a medieval sanctuary untouched by the march of time.
Czech Republic
The aroma of dark roasted Viennese coffee hangs thick in the air as you tread the cobblestone laneways and bask in the elegant architecture, atmospheric cafes and refined restaurants in one of the most beautiful cities in Eastern Europe.
Slovak Republic
Czech Republic
The rhythmic trot of your horse and the soft crunch of your carriage wheels upon cobblestones is a seductive soundtrack to accompany the stunning ancient architecture of Vienna's charming Ringstrasse.

Robin Thicke - Go Stupid 4 U
Artist: Robin Thicke
Producer: Uncredited
Album: Blurred Lines
Avg Rating: 3.1 ( 10 votes )
Robin Thicke's last two singles, Give It 2 U and Take It Easy on Me, both found the singer departing from his R&B roots in favor of a more dancefloor-oriented sound—an approach which failed to earn him high marks from the DJBooth readership. While the title of newly-released album inclusion Go Stupid 4 U echoes that of the first-named joint, the record itself is more in line with Thicke's previous hits than either of the aforementioned. An uncredited producer's lightly funky guitar riffs, sizzling synth-bass and syncopated drums back the Star Trak/Interscope soul man as he serenades a woman whose beauty and allure tend to impair his higher cognitive functions. Feeling this smooth, catchy selection? You'll find plenty more where Go Stupid came from on the Blurred Lines LP, slated to hit record stores and online retailers on Tuesday, July 30.

WILKES-BARRE – Raymond Drexler testified Wednesday he was the unwitting getaway driver for homicide suspect Shawn Hamilton.
Drexler testified he did not know he was driving away from a shooting that later turned deadly.
Hamilton, 19, appeared Wednesday for his preliminary hearing before District Judge Martin Kane on charges that he fatally shot his cousin, Kenyatta Hughston, in the middle of Jay Street on July 6.
Hughston, 22, died in Mercy Suburban Hospital in Montgomery County on Oct. 10. An autopsy showed Hughston died from two gunshot wounds to his head.
After 90 minutes of testimony, Kane forwarded an open count of criminal homicide against Hamilton to Luzerne County Court.
Separately, prosecutors are seeking the death penalty for Hamilton if he is convicted in the deadly shootings of three people inside a Plymouth apartment during an alleged drug exchange of heroin and marijuana on July 7.
Drexler, of Wilkes-Barre, said he met Hamilton on July 4 through a mutual friend. He said he helped Hamilton move belongings into a Nanticoke apartment on Ridge Street and drove him to pick up a misplaced cellphone on July 5.
Drexler said he helped Hamilton because he was getting free heroin.
On July 6, while driving Hamilton to used car lots, Drexler said Hamilton told him he needed to meet a friend. Drexler said he was told to park on Scott Street, where he waited for Hamilton to return.
When Hamilton rushed back to the car, Drexler said, he yelled out, Let's get out of here.
Hamilton was holding a black automatic handgun he placed under his sweatshirt as they drove away, Drexler said.
Upon questioning by Hamilton's attorney, Allyson Kacmarski, Drexler said he received favorable treatment by prosecutors in exchange for his cooperation. He said he was recently arrested by West Hazleton police for an unspecified incident but has not been charged.
Drexler said he called police after learning about the Plymouth deadly shooting. I was fearing my life and my family's life after hearing about the Plymouth thing, he said.
At about the same time Drexler drove Hamilton away from Scott Street, officer Richard Harding said he responded to a shooting on Jay Street. A witness reported hearing gunfire and a black male running toward Scott Street, Harding said.
State police Cpl. Steve Turinski testified that while he was investigating a triple homicide on First Street in Plymouth on July 7, investigators searched Hamilton's Nanticoke apartment.
Bloody sneakers and a handgun found inside the apartment, Turinski testified, were linked to the shootings on Jay Street and in the Plymouth apartment where Lisa Abaunza, 15, Nicholas Maldonado, 17, and Bradley Swartwood, 21, were killed, and Danny Maldonado, 19, was critically injured.

Veterans Affairs (VA) Medical Benefit Program
Army Reserve: Drilling
Benefit Fact Sheet
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) provides a Medical Benefits Package, a standard enhanced health benefits plan available to all enrolled Veterans. This plan emphasizes preventive and primary care, and offers a full range of outpatient and inpatient services within the VA health care system.
There is no monthly premium required to use VA care, however Veterans may have to agree to pay copayments. If a Veteran has health insurance, it may cover the cost of co pays. VA will provide combat Veterans free medical care for any illness possibly associated with service during a period of hostility for five years from the Veteran's release from active duty.
All Veterans are Potentially Eligible. Eligibility for most Veterans' health care benefits is based solely on active military service in the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, or Coast Guard (or Merchant Marines during WW II), and a discharge under other than dishonorable conditions. Reservists and National Guard Soldiers who were called to active duty (other than for training only) by a Federal Executive Order may qualify for VA health care benefits. Retiring Soldiers, including Army Reserve and Army National Guard Soldiers who served on active duty in a theater of combat operations have special eligibility for hospital care, medical services, and nursing home care for five years following discharge from active duty.

Enrollment. Veterans can apply for enrollment in the VA health care system by completing VA Form 10-10EZ, Application for Health Benefits. The application form can be obtained by visiting, calling, or writing any VA health care facility or Veterans' benefits office. Forms can also be requested toll-free from VA's Health Benefits Service Center at 1-877-222-VETS (8387). Completed applications must be signed and dated and may be returned in person or by mail to any VA health care facility. If the Veteran applies in person at a VA health care facility, VA staff will assign an initial priority group. After the application is processed, the VA Health Eligibility Center in Atlanta will confirm the enrollment status and priority group and will notify the Veteran of his or her enrollment status. Based on his/her specific eligibility status, he/she will be assigned to one of the following priority groups. The groups range from 1 through 8 with Priority Group 1 being the highest priority and Priority Group 8 the lowest.
Benefits on the Go. VA enrollment allows health care benefits to become portable throughout the entire VA system. Enrolled Veterans who are traveling or who spend time away from their primary treatment facility may obtain care at any VA health care facility across the country without the worry of having to reapply.
Financial Assessment (Means Testing). While many Veterans qualify for enrollment and cost-free health care services based on a compensable service-connected condition or other qualifying factors, certain Veterans will be asked to complete a financial assessment at the time of enrollment to determine their eligibility for cost-free medical care, medications and/or travel benefits. The assessment is based on the Veteran's, (Spouse and dependents, if any) previous year gross household income. This financial information may also be used to determine the Veteran's enrollment priority group. Higher-income Veterans (Veterans whose income exceeds established national income limits) that are treated for nonservice-connected conditions may be required to share in the expense of their care by paying copayments.
Note: Unreimbursed medical expenses (what you paid out of pocket after medical insurance pays) may be deducted from your total gross household income. Unreimbursed medical expenses include: travel expenses, cost of a long term care institution or assisted living, health related insurance premiums (including Medicare premiums), diabetic supplies, private caregivers, incontinence supplies, prescriptions and dialysis not covered by any other health plan. Only the portion of the unreimbursed medical expenses that exceed 5% of the basic pension may be deducted (see Medical Expense Deductible).
Once enrolled, VA will automatically match income information obtained from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and Social Security Administration (SSA) to confirm the Veteran's continued health care eligibility. VA will send Veterans a letter only when clarification is needed regarding the financial information obtained. For more information, visit www.va.gov/healthbenefits/cost, call VA's toll-free number at 1-877-222-VETS (8387) or contact the Enrollment Coordinator at your local medical facility.

Ontario Nurses Demand Harper Government Sign Health Accord to Address Nursing Gap
TORONTO, March 28, 2014 /CNW/ – The Ontario Nurses' Association (ONA) is
calling on Stephen Harper's federal government to move on a new
national Health Accord that will help Ontario address a nursing gap
that puts the province second last in the country in the registered
nurse (RN)-to-population ratio.
"Ontarians deserve the same high-quality health care as every other
Canadian, yet Ontario – the most populous province in the country – has
just seven RNs per 1,000 Ontarians. We need to hire 17,500 more RNs in
Ontario just to catch up to the other provinces, and yet we saw the
loss of some 1,000 RN jobs since 2012," said ONA President Linda
Haslam-Stroud, RN.
"Our ability to address that grievous gap in nursing care is predicated
on the federal government's equitable funding of the provinces. While
Ontario has to address a budgetary freeze for health care funding that
has undercut our ability to attract and retain experienced RNs, the
federal government bears a responsibility for shortchanging the
In December 2011, the Harper government announced a major cut to the
Canada Health Transfer (CHT) of $36 billion over 10 years beginning in
2017. However, the equalization portion of the CHT is being eliminated
in 2014, which reduces transfers by another $16.5 billion over the next
five years.
Failure to negotiate a new Health Accord will create additional fiscal
pressures on Ontario, which faces an aging population and increased
demands for complex care requiring the skills and expertise of RNs.
Research shows a direct link between the number of RNs and the quality
of patient care; for every extra patient added to the average RN
workload, patient complications and deaths increase by 7 per cent.
"Unless federal funding is stable and adequate, our cherished national
public health care system is in danger, and specifically in Ontario,
this will have a devastating impact on the ability of our RNs to
provide safe, high-quality patient care," said Haslam-Stroud.
According to Ontario Health Minister Deb Matthews, the province will be
short $300 million this year for health care because the federal
government has broken its promise to all provinces for a six-per-cent
increase in health transfers for two years after the expiry of the
Health Accord.
ONA agrees with Health Minister Matthews' assessment when she said,
"It's less money to reduce wait times, it's less money to hire nurses,
it's less time to provide Ontario families and particularly Ontario
seniors with the care that they need."
"The federal government is apparently willing to balance its budget on
the backs of Ontario nurses and their patients," said Haslam-Stroud.
ONA is the union representing 60,000 registered nurses and allied health
professionals, as well as more than 14,000 nursing student affiliates
providing care in hospitals, long-term care facilities, public health,
the community, clinics and industry.

© Copyright 2015 Clayton News Daily
By Justin BoronGateway Village, a $28 million investment in Morrow that some county officials have said is languishing toward failure, could have a new building in the works for next year. Although it hasn't been announced officially, Emory Brock, the county's director of economic development, said he anticipates by next year that the U.S. Postal Service will start constructing its new Morrow facility on the property across from the state and national archives. He said the development could rekindle interest in the property the Clayton County Development Authority wants to become a mixed-use community featuring residences, businesses, and a hotel and conference center. Thirteenth District Congressman David Scott, D-Atlanta, also said money would be ready for the facility. "By next year, we're going to have a new post office," he said. As the original project for Gateway Village, the facility was slated in 1998 to be a 15,700-square-foot replacement for the existing post office on Lake Harbin Road. But because of budget constraints, the U.S. Postal Service backed away from construction after it had already purchased the property. Michael Miles, a spokesman for the federal agency's Atlanta district, said as far as he knows the facility is still "on hold indefinitely." But loads of fill dirt are being moved to the 3.6 acre site to accommodate the building. As part of the property purchase, the county agreed to move about 30,000 cubic yards of dirt for the post office. The deadline on the dirt agreement was set to expire on Dec. 31, Brock said. Miles did say the postal service's moratorium on new facilities had been lifted for some time and that it was prioritizing which projects to pursue. Brock said that moving the dirt and the possibility of a new building could enliven new interest in the area across from the archives. "To have some activity - something going - that's a huge plus for the continuation of the project," he said. "The timing couldn't be better." Besides the progress on the two archive facilities, Gateway has suffered some setbacks. The Rainwood Apartments, which the county purchased to help generate revenue, have struggled to turn a substantial profit. Also, commissioners have balked at the idea of issuing bonds for the hotel and conference center. Nevertheless, development officials in Morrow and the county have continually emphasized that the project is still viable. Scott also said the post office, a new commercial aviation museum near Southlake Mall, and the commuter rail scheduled to pass through Morrow would combine to make a strong asset.

Behind the Lines: Update on Andrei Babitsky
[Sorry, the video for this story has expired, but you can still read the transcript below. ]
TERENCE SMITH: For the last month Russian journalist Andrei Babitsky has been caught in the cross fire of the ongoing war in Chechnya. A war correspondent for U.S.-funded Radio Liberty, Babitsky was arrested in late January. Then in an extraordinary development captured on this video, the Russian military allegedly turned him over to Chechen rebels in exchange for the release of some of their own soldiers. Nothing was heard from Babitsky until February 9, when a videotape was broadcast on Russian Independent Television. In it, a bruised Babitsky described his predicament in guarded tones.
ANDREI BABITSKY (speaking through interpreter): I am relatively all right. The only problem is time, because the circumstances are such that, unfortunately, I can't come home right away. People who are around me are trying to help me. The only problem is I really want to come home. I want all this to finally end.
TERENCE SMITH: Today Babitsky suddenly surfaced, calling his wife from neighboring Dagestan. He told her he was all right and hoped to reach Moscow tomorrow. His alleged barter for Russian POWs came in the midst of a media crackdown by the government of acting president and former KGB official Vladimir Putin. Perhaps responding to international concern, Putin recently told journalists that he would assure Babitsky's life and freedom.
Putin has said he will not suppress freedom of expression as president, but last week 32 Russian media organizations published a special edition criticizing the Kremlin for the Babitsky incident and other restrictions on media coverage in Chechnya. The paper asserted that the Russian media are experiencing open and regular suppression.
JIM LEHRER: Yesterday before Babitsky's phone call to his wife, Terence Smith recorded this discussion.
TERENCE SMITH: For more the status of Andrei Babitsky and the current state of the Russian media, we turn to Tom Dine, president of Radio Free Europe and Radio Liberty, headquartered in Prague; and Ellen Mickiewicz, a professor at Duke University and author of a recent book called Changing Channels: Television and the Struggle for Power in Russia. Welcome to you both. Now, it's a fact that Andrei Babitsky's reporting has been something of a thorn in the Kremlin's side, has it not?
TOM DINE, Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty: It's been extraordinary because the recent violations of human rights that have been reported by Human Rights Watch and other great human rights organizations really were the essence of his reporting in December and the first part of January. Only really two media in Russia were reporting the facts of civilian deaths and violence to the Chechen citizens were NTV and Radio Liberty by Andrei Babitsky.
TERENCE SMITH: One of the television channels, NTV?
TOM DINE: Yes.
TERENCE SMITH: Do you assume, therefore, that he was first arrested by the Russian military and then ostensibly traded because of his reporting?
TOM DINE: That is a basic assumption on our part and the part of his colleagues in Russia, in Moscow particularly.
TERENCE SMITH: Is it in part because he works for a U.S.-funded radio?
TOM DINE: I don't think so. I'd like not to think so. We may be an aggravation to certain ultra-nationalists, but I think people respect our objectivity, the fact that we uphold Western journalism's highest standards of balance and accuracy, not just rumors. And Babitsky reported in such a way during the first Chechen war with Russia in 1994-1996 that he won awards for the accuracy of his reporting, the graphic-ness of these reports and the fact that state television and state radio and state newspapers were not reporting any of this, and this is true today.
TERENCE SMITH: Ellen Mickiewicz, what does — you're familiar with the media in Russia. This story, what does it say to you about the state of press freedom in Russia today?
ELLEN MICKIEWICZ, Duke University: I think it's always a struggle. It's always tension between security and issues of national security, wartime on the one hand, and press freedom on the other. It's always going to be a struggle. And what the Russian military had thought they would do in this war, as opposed to the first Chechen war, is simply to cordon it off and try to keep the news of what's going on from the news organizations.
That's not a long-term strategy that works, as we see. Information seeps out. It's not the best idea. I think that what we are into now is a period when there is maybe setting the stage for what will happen to press freedom in Russia and setting the stage in terms of trying to carve out that area of press autonomy that has so far been won and try to stabilize it even though it may interfere with security goals in the short run or what might be thought to be efficient. Let me just say a word about the media landscape because it is interesting and it is diverse enough to give people different points of view.
Tom mentioned NTV. NTV's coverage has differed from the other two national networks that carry a lot of news. NTV is the second largest network even though about two-thirds of Russians actually receive it. In all the polls, including the most recent ones, NTV's coverage is thought to be far more objective and accurate than any other station. So, the other side of the press scene in Russia, I think, is that there is an audience there, an audience that is smart and savvy and able to make judgments when it sees differences in how news is covered. I think that's really important.
TERENCE SMITH: Professor, do you think that the Russian people are getting a fair and full picture of what's going on in Chechnya?
ELLEN MICKIEWICZ: It's not comprehensive, of course not. That's true. It's very hard to gain access to this area, and although NTV is carrying news of casualties and setbacks and the other two stations are doing very little of that, so far there hasn't really been investigation of these alleged atrocities that are coming out now, dribbling out through witnesses. But part of that is a real lack of access. NTV I think was slow to start covering this impact on civilians in Chechnya, but it is doing that now.
TERENCE SMITH: Tom Dine, what's your view of that?
TOM DINE: I agree with what Ellen has said. The two state-owned television stations have towed the party line. This provides enormous angst for those of us who have gone through the Soviet Union period, and now we're quite hopeful that once the curtain went up and the Soviet Union fell apart that these freedoms would come and would stay, but they're quite fragile and the Putin government is on record as saying, 'We must centralize authority. We must control the news and this is a war of national security and we must, therefore, report only what we want to report.'
ELLEN MICKIEWICZ: May I just –
TERENCE SMITH: Go ahead.
ELLEN MICKIEWICZ: — say something there. Putin is speaking in many different ways. And I think what we're seeing is a casting-about for just where Vladimir Putin is going to end up in terms of a possible presidential administration. Part of him does speak in the sense of, 'We must do only what is militarily necessary and keep out the press if we think that will help,' and on the other hand, he will pull back when receiving opposite advice and appear to understand the effects of this on the international scene and the effects of this at home because what we see at home, too, that is in Russia, is a real kind of corporate outpouring on the part of journalists in Russia to indicate their sense that these are freedoms that have to be kept and must be maintained and supported.
You referred to the special issue in which many different journalists, the Journalists Union of Russia, 120,000 strong, came out against this — came out — they are very aware of the importance of perhaps the greatest achievement that the post-Soviet Russian government has actually made possible, which is freedom of expression.
TERENCE SMITH: The flow of information. Tom Dine, what did you think when that edition came out?
TOM DINE: When that edition came out? It was fantastic. There were at least 180,000 copies that were distributed all over the streets of Moscow.
TERENCE SMITH: This is the first time they've done anything like this in eight or nine years.
TOM DINE: I believe two issues came out in 1991 during the failed coup of August of 1991 and then shortly thereafter when the end came for the Soviet Union and then again in October of 1993 when there was the assault on the parliament.
TERENCE SMITH: Final word, Ellen Mickiewicz?
ELLEN MICKIEWICZ: Although I think the Babitsky case is very important and I think it's very important that it's mobilized journalistic forces both in Russia and outside because these are the most important ones, I think, I think it's still a case that's closer to issues of national security, misunderstood but nonetheless national security, than it is to the everyday work of journalists. So I think it in some ways it's a special case but one that bears great watching.
TERENCE SMITH: OK. Tom Dine, your –
TOM DINE: I can't help but say I disagree with that. Yeltsin with all his faults, President Yeltsin, once he assumed the powers of the presidency, welcomed Radio Liberty to come to Russia physically from its headquarters in Munich at the time, come to Russia, open a bureau. He issued a presidential decree to allow us to open a bureau. The first step of Putin is to try to close us down, if you will, to silence one of our reporters. The prospects are not good.
TERENCE SMITH: All right. I'm afraid we have to leave it there. Tom Dine, Ellen Mickiewicz, thank you very much both.

Family deaths get Phylicia Rashad talking about peripheral artery disease
WEDNESDAY, Sept. 19 (HealthDay News) -- Actress Phylicia Rashad has spent decades tickling America's funny bone and tugging at its heart.
But it's Americans' heart health she's working for now, crisscrossing the country to raise awareness of a common but underappreciated and underdiagnosed cardiovascular threat called peripheral artery disease (PAD).
Rashad -- famous for her Emmy-nominated turn as Claire Huxtable during the 1980's TV hit The Cosby Show -- has lost too many family members to heart disease to ignore the problem, she said.
"PAD isn't new, but the diagnosis is recent," said Rashad. "People just used to refer to it as poor circulation, not understanding that PAD is a serious cardiovascular disease, and an indicator that a person is at two times the risk for a heart attack or stroke, and four times as likely to die of a heart attack or stroke."
PAD sets in when plaque formation -- or atherosclerosis -- clogs the arteries and impedes the flow of blood to the legs. Such plaque build-up raises the risk for clot formation and additional arterial blockage, potentially affecting blood flow to the heart or brain.
Part of a larger year-long public health effort entitled P.A.D.: Make the Connection, the campaign is being launched in conjunction with the first National PAD Awareness Month. It is co-sponsored by the nonprofit Peripheral Artery Disease Coalition (PAD Coalition).
A signal of more serious heart disease down the road, PAD often strikes without recognizable symptoms, and experts estimate that 8 million Americans who have the chronic condition remain undiagnosed and untreated.
"It's a condition that physicians don't test for regularly," noted Rashad. "Most people don't even really know about it."
To counter that lack of awareness, Rashad will address press and patients

I assumed this was gonna be plug & play. Turns out the molex connection that controls the existing right hand switch is a flat 4 pin. The new euro switch I have is a 9 pin molex connection w/ 7 pins existing... not exactly plug & play.
Two Moto Kiwis posted here
about how it works for their SE.
Officially stumped.
The light control on the SE is from the left side switchgear, the ignition is right. so you can use the light control switch from an euro KTM exc, or you will probably need to create an adapter for the Adv switch you have.
Do you have a wiring diagram to study, you may get away with re-pinning.

The bill is midnight blue and oblong with OC on one side and 160 on the other side. I know oxycontin, but as far as I know they do not make a 160mg strength oxy. Please advise?
Answers (2)
17 Mar 2007
It is 160mg Oxycontin, Purdue doesn't make these anymore and pulled them shortly after they came out, too many people were ODing.
17 Mar 2007
yeah, it is a 160mg OC. I'd be curious as to how she got it though. Does she or any of her friends/family work in the health field (IE: nursing home, hospital, etc)? Those are really only given to people on their death bed so chances are whomever she got it from stole it from a dying patient. As far as I know, they are not/were not ever prescribed as a "take-home" drug. They don't write prescriptions of them to people with a broken wrist. Those were only given to patients as they layed in a hospital bed (or nursing home), mostly to people with cancer or a painful, terminal disease as they are on their way out. It's meant to make their last few moments on Earth as comfortable as possible.
I may be mistaken but I'm a paramedic and have never seen them written as a take home script for anything. Like I said, I've only witnessed them given one at a time by doctors for dying patients.
If she has access to these, you need to watch out for her. If she has this much of a problem where she is taking 160mg at a time, it is time to stage an intervention or just flat out convince her to get help. As I'm sure your aware as well as everyone else here is, Oxycontin is highly addictive and she did not just start taking 160mg at a time overnight. It was a progression where she probably started with 10mg and worked her way up as her tolerance built up. These meds will kill her. I lost my cousin to prescription drug abuse. He was doing about 200mg a day. It's not just the addiction either. Most people can't afford their habit, so they end up stealing, selling drugs or even prostitution just to get their daily fix.
Again, I lost my cousin to this "disease". While you or your gf's lives are non of my business, I am trying to offer you some suggestions as well as make you more aware of what could also be going on. You need to talk with her though if you haven't already, and try to get her some help. And if you have children together, it would probably be best to get them away from her temporarily until she gets help and the problem is solved. I'm not suggesting you kick her to the curb or move out and take the kid(s), but they shouldn't be around this kind of thing. Your gf needs you. Have them go to a month long camp, or "visit" their grandparents or aunt and uncle for a few weeks while Mommy goes on "vacation".
I now take care of my "second cousin" Micheal, because his father is dead. He is only 3 and will never really know him. Everyday I wish to God I could go back and know what was going on so that we could've gotten him help. Instead though, I got a call while working (EMT) to his apartment building. I didn't know it was him who was hurt until I was greeted by his hysterical girlfriend at the door. She came home from work and her son was on the floor laying next to his Dad's body crying. He was only 11 Months old. I had to put my cousin into a bodybag and bring him to the morgue. I later learned that my cousin and his gf had been "partying" with Oxycontin (as well as other things) for about a year and a half. The only good thing that ever came out of this is that Micheal's mother is now clean and sober and a great Mom to her son. My point is NO CHILD SHOULD EVER have to endure that kind of tramatic experience, nor should any parent have to explain those circumstances to their kid later on in life.
I hope for your sake, her sake and the kids (kids or not, really), you will take something out of the story of my loss. I wish you and her the best of luck, but I do hope you do something. I will keep you two in my prayers.

Fr. Timothy Lannon named Creighton University's new president
By Katie Knapp Schubert
Omaha, NE – A Creighton University alumnus is the school's new president.
Father Timothy Lannon was introduced Friday as the new president of Creighton University. He'll succeed Father John Schlegel, who's retiring next July. Father Lannon graduated from Creighton in 1973 with a degree in mathematics.
Fr. Lannon comes to Creighton from St. Joseph's University in Philadelphia, where he's served as president since 2003. He was also president of Creighton Prep High School from 1988 to 1995.
Lannon says universities face financial issues today, along with the challenges of online learning, attracting quality faculty, and providing scholarships.
Fr. Schlegel is leaving Creighton in July 2011 to pursue other opportunities in ministry.

Michelle Hunziker Pregnant in a Colorful Bikini in Italy
Michelle Hunziker Pregnant Bikini Beach Photos Because My Future Mommy Is Going to Be a Hot Mommy Again
No sooner have I nearly achieved my dream of having Swiss Miss model and TV hostess hottie Michelle Hunziker almost nearly agrees to be my new adopted mom, that she up and announces, err, visually declares, herself pregnant by way of her Euro-something boyfriend. Granted, my anger at being displaced in the new child department by a bio baby is mitigated by the site of my future hot mom in a bikini by the beach, showing off her swelling curvaceous body, both in the bikini, and the day before in revealing black one piece…
Still, it might've been nice to get a heads up on new of my future adopted brother or sister. Not to mention Michelle's existing teen daughter from another daddy might be having some feelings to work through. Baby's make everything complicated. Except for making mommy looking a little hotter when they're on their way. If you're into that kind of thing. And, as you know, I very much am no longer apologizing for that particular lust. Enjoy.
Happy Birthday to Michelle Hunziker, My Future Adopted Mom!
As you know, I'm two steps into the seventeen step process to have hottie Swiss Miss Michelle Hunziker named my new adopted mother (step one was filling out the form, step two mailing it, just fifteen more steps to go.).
And, today, on her 36th birthday, I'd like to give a shoutout to my future mom, So check out the hottest mom on the block with a look back at some of our favorite Michelle Hunziker pictures since our adoption process first began. (And, yeah, if you want to see my future adopted mom topless on her birthday, you can do that too.) Enjoy.
Michelle Hunziker Black Leather Dress Shows Off the Shape of My Future Mom
As you are well away, the adoption process remains 'active and ongoing' on my petition for Swiss Miss veteran hottie Michelle Hunziker to become my adoptive mom. It's not that I don't love my bio mom and respect how ever many vagrants she had to sedate and steal their organs to help put food on the table for our large brood, it's just that I always dreamed of a parental figure who looked like Michelle Hunziker did in her black leather dress last night during Milan Fashion Week.
When I imagine Michelle and I cuddled up together reading inspiration picture books before bed time, me in my Spiderman footsie pajamas, my new adopted mom in black lace negligee, it just all seems so warm and innocent and maternal.
Just sign the papers, Michelle. And let's make this our first family holiday season together. Enjoy.
Michelle Hunziker Bikini Pictures Reveal a Fiancee in Heat
As you well know by now, my future adopted mother, the uber-hot MILFtastic Swiss Miss Michelle Hunziker has become engaged to some good looking rich dude in Italy, natch, and before she secures the final matrimonial deal, you can bet there's going to be lots of super extra hot bikini views for the future husband, in betwixt obvious endless rounds in the bedroom. Speaking to many a friend who has gone down the marriage path recently, this is the period of pre-nuptial bliss I like to commonly refer to as 'The Buy-In'. But, you know, feel free to come up with your own description.
In either case, with that wicked bikini body of hers, my future adopted mom could probably get even a dead man to rise from the grave and offer her a ring, such is the power of the hot mom, who seems to move effortlessly between hot TV appearances and never ending bikini exhibitions on the beach. There may be a price for beauty, as they say, but looking at Michelle Hunziker, I can also assess some very obvious benefits. You go, mom! Enjoy.
Michelle Hunziker Bikini Pictures Continue Their Heat Wave in Miami
When my future adopted mom Michelle Hunziker goes out to play on the beach, she knows exactly what she's doing. And what's she's doing is creating more new wood than Georgia Pacific, what with her finely imported Swiss hot mom body.
I'm not exactly sure how the U.S. decides who does and doesn't get to come from foreign countries to hang out on extended stays in our fair nation, but I'm super hoping that it's done by hotness. And I hope Michelle Hunziker never ever leaves, or puts her clothes on. Enjoy.

Visit Asheville: 'Paris of the South'
This is a new listing for our family. We have 4 other premium properties with 5 star reviews and looking for this one will be the same!
-- Only one mile from the middle of downtown with great local award winning restaurants and music! Just 3 miles from the Biltmore House as well. Many people just drive and park for the day or evening in a parking garage for $5 to $10 and walk all around. Also, some take a taxi for a few bucks and do the same. You can walk to downtown from the home in about 10 minutes.
-- Spacious 2500 square feet eclectic four bedroom family home in a forested neighborhood with mountains views. Space for 10 to 11 guests.
Separate Dining room with living room open to the kitchen with granite counter top with a bar.
There is master suite with in-suite full custom tile bathroom with a walk in shower for 2. There is another large bedroom with 2 full beds. The 3rd has a Queen bed. There is a 4 bedroom with a double bed and a twin bed trundle underneath it There is another remodeled bath as well. All of the beds are pillow top and have high thread count linens and lots of pillows for a comfortable, laid-back experience! Candles, live plants, natural soaps available for you to wind down after a great day of sightseeing, hiking, biking or enjoying downtown Asheville. There is a private deck up in the trees off the back of the house. There is a laundry with high end
We have 2 other luxury suites on this same street. They can be rented separately if available and more room is needed. They have separate entrances. There is a one bedroom and a 2 bedroom with a Jacuzzi and custom tile shower for 2. Heated tile floors. That would allow 16 to 18 people to stay comfortably! The VRBO number of these suites are one bedroom #469612 and the 2 bedroom is #439628 . We will do a special combined rate if you want one or both of these with the house. They are sound proofed from the rest of the home they are in. We live on site and are there to assist you at anytime!
--Great remodeled kitchen with eclectic pottery and dishes from the area with open cabinets, granite counter tops and a bar. stocked with a complementary bottle of wine from the Biltmore Estate, cream and bottled water. Asheville has been named 'Beer City USA' and we also stock a six pack of local micro brews. Start or end your day with an awesome Keurig hot coffee or tea provided as well.

A free selection of our gourmet chocolate is included! We also have owned a home care services business in the area for many years so we are available for services you might need such as child or pet sitting, cleaning, laundry or transportation for a fee.
I am a 4th generation native of Asheville. After raising 6 children here in Asheville I decided that it was time let others enjoy the lovely homes that our famliy owns and that I carefully renovated to be an inviting presence. I live and work on the property as I am an RN and a raw vegan chef and have a raw vegan food business and home care business to assist others in having foods to heal their body, mind and spirit.
Kathy McGuinn purchased this house in 2003
It is one of the few that can accommodate 10 to 12 available this close to town that can have over 10 people and with the other suites on the same street it can have over 15 to 16 people.
This place is great because you feel you are out in the country side and you are only a mile from the eclectic downtown Asheville area and 3 miles from the Biltmore area.
The Good: location, fast internet, lots of towels, 2 good bathrooms, decent grill and back deck area, 4 whole bedrooms, nice washer and dryer, tucked in the woods.
The Bad: Lacking kitchen knives, Tupperware, ice maker, bath soap, working hand soap dispensers, laundry detergent, dryer sheets, some flimsy furniture with some broken pieces, lots of bugs inside (ants, spiders, stink bugs). creepy old man who asks for your last name. House wasn't clean upon arrival. not recommended for families with small children or people who like clean amenities.
I was asked if we wanted local wine or beer. I responded with beer and we received wine. It just didn't have the level of amenities we thought the price would merit.
This home is a great place to go if you want to get away but not too far from the city. It is tucked away into trees and we felt like we were far into the mountains as it was very peaceful, however we were only a mile from downtown Asheville. This was just perfect for us! Kathy was really a gracious hostess and provided us with everything we needed that made us really feel like personal guests in her home (Towels, toiletry, coffee, chocolate and was given a choice of a bottle of either local wine or locally brewed beer). I was also able to get some work done at night with excellent wi-fi connection. We will definitely stay again! Thanks Kathy!
We had a wonderful time during our stay at this great VRBO rental! The location was perfect for going to and from downtown, but still gave us and our dogs the residential space we wanted. The recent updates were a great addition and kept us gathered in the kitchen while in the house. We were surprised to find out someone lived in the garage underneath, however we never actually saw him but only knew he was there by the parked car intermittently in the driveway. Kathy was a wonderful host providing local chocolate and much appreciated local beer in the refrigerator- the perfect way to start the weekend after the long drive to Asheville. Kathy was easy to reach when we needed anything and worked diligently to get us ESPN for Saturday Gameday. The only other negative comment is that the walls are really thin and you can hear the conversations in the next room, but overall this was a fabulous VRBO and I will definitely plan to rent from Kathy again!
We are only 1 mile from the middle of downtown Asheville and only 3 mile from the Biltmore Estates and River Arts District. We are 1 mile for the Blue Ridge Parkway.

Below is the poem entitled Cobalt Silhouettes which was written by poet
Pinet. Please feel free to comment on this poem. However, please remember, PoetrySoup is a place of encouragement and growth.
Read Poems by
Emile Pinet
A teal twilight inks cobalt silhouettes,
as shy stars unveil their flickering lights.
And shadows slink forth melding with the night,
while a sanguine sun feigns a scarlet death.
Crimson clouds cluster at horizon's edge,
absorbing shades of cerise and purple.
And daylight shrinks to a brindled aura,
reflected by rusty crystals of ice.
Dusk weeps dewdrops grieving to no avail,
as dark dims the last vestiges of light.
And brisk breezes whisk heat away in gusts,
eerily chilling both body and soul.
Long skeletal fingers anchor the sky,
to a lone tree rooted in ebony.
And a marshmallow moon appears snagged,
in the netting of its Velcro branches.
Creatures of the dark stir from their slumber,
in the wake of a disappearing sun.
And as silence sets life bends to its will,
all but a cricket's haunting piercing shrill.

- Use the video mode from the region of the game, in SoftChip and NeoGamma it's disc region video mode
- Some games require that you force the language that is used in the game(example japanese for japanese games...)
- Some games require to enable the option "Contry String patching" (in for example NeoGamma or SoftChip)
If the game works with this, but in black and white and/or with jumping screen, it's working. If you search for help somewhere mention this!!!
