I'm a sucker for writing applied directly to walls, painted or transferred or whatever, I'll almost always take a snap of it, perhaps I'll put a collection together at some point.
Now there's almost always the opportunity to see some writing on walls in art galleries. The exhibition at the Quad didn't disappoint with plenty of transferred writing applied to the green walls, and it looked pretty great to my eye, most, most satisfying.
As well as the introductory text, all of the exhibit details were applied to the walls or surfaces, as seen on the green photo below. I'm sure they are simply rub down transfers, but it looks really tidy, good job!
And it's in marked contrast to some of the lettering at the Nottingham Contemporary at the Huang exhibition, which looked atrocious I'm afraid, I was so disappointed I took a picture, not really expecting to find the contrast at Quad the following week.
You'll see the 'Please do not touch' is applied directly but the description of the work is on some kind of sticker. Also, small irony, you could climb some steps and enter the plane in the exhibit, so you were encouraged to touch it. Fail.

Hi Kieran.
I am responsible for producing the text at both Nottingham Contemporary and Quad in Derby.
I understand and in some way agree with your comments but there are practical reasons why we
have to produce text in various ways.
Its great to hear that there are people out there passionate about lettering.
Feel free to drop me a line and I can explain why we have to use different ways of producing text.

Edward Paul Abbey (1927 – 1989) American Environmentalist and Writer
Novelist, essayist, white-water rafter, and self-described "desert rat," Abbey wrote of the wonders and beauty of the American West that was fast disappearing in the name of "development" and "progress." Often angry, frequently funny, and sometimes lyrical, Abbey recreated for his readers a region that was unique in the world. The American West was perhaps the last place where solitary selves could discover and reflect on their connections with wild things and with their fellow human beings.
Abbey was born in Home, Pennsylvania, in 1927. He received his B.A. from the University of New Mexico in 1951. After earning his master's degree in 1956, he joined the National Park Service, where he served as park ranger and fire fighter. He later taught writing at the University of Arizona.
Abbey's books and essays, such as Desert Solitaire...

Officials remember Air Force crew killed in crash
A public memorial service is being planned for the three crew members of a KC-135 that crashed Friday in Kyrgyzstan.
Associated Press
This undated photo released by the U.S. Air Force shows Air Force Capt. Mark T. "Tyler" Voss, 27, from Boerne, Texas, who died May 3 when his aircraft crashed shortly after takeoff near Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan.
Associated Press
This undated photo released by the U.S. Air Force shows Air Force Capt. Victoria A. "Tori" Pinckney, 27, from Palmdale, Calif., with her now 7-month-old son Gabriel. Capt. Pickney died May 3 when her aircraft crashed shortly after takeoff near Bichkek, Kyrgyzstan
Associated Press
This undated photo released by the U.S. Air Force shows Tech. Sgt. Herman "Tre" Mackey III, 30, from Bakersfield, Calif., in front of a KC-135 engine. Tech. Sgt. Mackey died May 3, when his aircraft crashed shortly after takeoff near Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan.
Capt. Mark T. Voss was a graduate of the Air Force Academy and was known for his smile.
Tech. Sgt. Herman Mackey III was humorous and the father of a young daughter.
All three died when their KC-135 tanker refueling plane crashed in the mountains of Kyrgyzstan on Friday.
All three were members of the 93rd Air Refueling Squadron stationed at Fairchild Air Force Base near Spokane and were operating out of a U.S. air base in Kyrgyzstan that supports military operations in Afghanistan.
A public memorial service is being planned near the Eastern Washington state base for all three.
"These brave airmen leave behind an incredible legacy and remind all of us that freedom is never free," said U.S. Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers, R-Wash., whose district includes Fairchild. "Eastern Washington will forever honor Capt. Voss, Capt. Pinckney, and Tech. Sgt. Mackey for making the ultimate sacrifice for our great nation, and their service will never be forgotten."
Spokane Mayor David Condon said: "Our thoughts and prayers are with the families and loved ones of the three members of Fairchild Air Force Base and Spokane community who died serving their country."
Pinckney, 27, was from Palmdale, Calif. She is survived by her husband; 7-month-old son; parents and two sisters.
Col. Brian Newberry, commander of the 92nd Air Refueling Wing at Fairchild, said Pinckney began sharing pictures of her son, Gabriel, soon after he was born.
"Not only was she a fine airman, but she was a mom," Newberry said Sunday. "I remember all the happiness that she had."
Pinckney played on the women's rugby team at the Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, Colo., where she graduated in 2008, and she had a black belt in karate. She also liked to crochet and scrapbook, according to Fairchild officials.
Voss, 27, was from Boerne, Texas, and was also a 2008 graduate of the Air Force Academy.
Newberry said Voss was a "great aircraft commander."
"Every time I saw him he would come forward and he would have a smile on his face," Newberry said.
He graduated from pilot training in 2010 and was promoted to captain last May, Newberry said. He is survived by his parents, a brother and a sister.
Mackey, 30, was from Bakersfield, Calif., and previously had flown drones, Newberry said.
He is survived by his wife; daughter; mother; three sisters and two brothers.
His wife, Megan, told Fairchild officials that the man known as Tre would "light up the room with his humor and smile."
The three were flying a plane that was assigned to McConnell Air Force Base in Kansas. Newberry said it was not uncommon for crews to fly planes from different bases.
"We will forever honor Tyler, Tori and Tre as patriots and heroes," Newberry said. "Team Fairchild will do everything we can to support their families and friends during this profoundly difficult time."
The last crash of a KC-135 involving a Fairchild crew occurred at the same base in Kyrgyzstan in 2006, but all the crew members survived.
In 1999, a KC-135 from Fairchild crashed near Geilenkirchen Air Base in Germany. Four crew members from the Washington Air National Guard's 141st Air Refueling Wing, which is also based at Fairchild, died in that crash.
The KC-135 Stratotanker, a modified Boeing 707, has been flying for more than 50 years, and is used to refuel military aircraft in flight. The Air Force is in the process of replacing those planes over the next few years, and Fairchild is being considered as a home for the replacement planes.

BOSTON ( TheStreet) -- Small-cap stocks, measured by the Russell 2000 Index, were little changed in April, trailing the broader market during a busy month of earnings releases from companies ranging from Apple (AAPL) to Ford (F) to Citigroup (C).
The underperformance of small-cap stocks is worrisome, given they inherently carry higher risks than their larger peers do. One of those is the inability to remain compliant with listing standards of the Nasdaq, spurring delisting warnings from the exchange.
Overall, April wasn't a banner month for equities, with the S&P 500 and Dow Jones Industrial Average up less than 1.5%. Google (GOOG), a major constituent of the S&P 500, dropped 11%. Meanwhile, many small-cap stocks, like Fuwei Films (FFHL - Get Report), plummeted nearly 50%.
Some smaller companies, which typically expose investors to greater volatility, suffer from deficiencies ranging from violations of the minimum bid-price rule, as share prices of some penny stocks have languished below $1, to violations of board independence, delinquency and market value.Because companies on exchanges' watch lists record higher-than-average volatility, risk-friendly investors have the chance to make lots of money, either by shorting the stocks on expectations shares will fall, or going long on the hopes they will break through with surging revenue or profit growth. TeamStaff (TSTF), slapped with a delisting warning months ago, rallied 38% in April. On the other hand, Integra Bank (IBNK), also a recipient of a delisting notice a few months ago, tumbled more than 30% this month. The following 26 companies were notified in April that they're in violation of listing requirements and could be kicked off the Nasdaq. The companies now have a limited window of time to regain compliance with the exchange's listing rules.
First Community Bank Corp. of America (FCFL) Company Profile: First Community Bank provides banking services to small- and middle-market businesses and individuals in Florida. Current Share Price: 28 cents (April 26) Listing Violation: Market value of publicly held shares. The Nasdaq requires that First Community Bank maintain a minimum $1 million market value of publicly held shares for continued listing. In March, First Community Bank also received a delisting notice from the Nasdaq as the company's stock is below the minimum bid price requirement. Received Nasdaq Notice: April 1 Management's Expected Action: First Community Bank has until Sept. 28 to regain compliance with this listing standard. The company noted that Community Bank, also based in Florida, offered to buy First Community Bank in February for $10 million. The deal is expected to close in May. If the deal does not close, First Community Bank said it will take any action relating to either of the foregoing matters.

Environment: Content from Across the ABC
30 May 2015 4:33:23am
This article amply illustrates the lopsided approach that can be adopted when people are more interested in politics and pushing their agenda rather than concentrating on the facts and seeking solutions.
(1) developing nations cannot have the luxury of choosing new and expensive technologies, while the west enjoyes the benefits from cheaper energy for decades. The west, in its hypocricy, has enjoyed the benefits of cheap energy sources, and once it has identified the problems it has caused, has these nits yelling, 'stop it, stop it, because our world may change.' The people who do not have the means to cook food and light their village may wonder what the fuss is.
(2) this bringing Germany as the shining example is weird. Germany is one of the largest emmiters in Europe; the latest figures availabe report 958.1 Mt CO2 eq, compared to France 527, UK 628, Denmark 63.8. Germany has feed in tarrifs that are so high for solar PV that any other economy would simply buckle at such costs.
Germany is economcially strong because it exports all of the technology, including for mining and power generation, and these other countries pay for this. If Germany is such an example, why not ask them to stop exporting their engineering. Surely this would stop places like Australia and Nigeria emit such huge amounts by exporting fuel.
The fact are that everyone should work towards an economically sound approach to reducing emissions from ALL sectors; this can be done by lowering the intensity of fossil fuel technology, shutting down high emitters, and working to a sound low emission technology options that includes sound economics. This article does little to advance this goal.

CHICAGO As the son of a prominent college football coach, James Ferentz grew up learning to comprehend that the pulse of a community was measured by the performance of his father's team on Saturdays each fall. Win, and he could walk the school hallways on Monday with a smile. Lose, and a melancholy mood wafted through the city for days. "When I was in elementary school, I don't think I understood how important the University of Iowa and the football program was to Iowa City and the state," Ferentz said during Big Ten media days last week. "I didn't ever really piece it together until junior high when kids would point out how good they were. That's when we started winning." Fortunately for Ferentz, a starting center for Iowa's football team, the happy days have far outnumbered the sad ones during his time in Iowa City. Of course, the same can be said for his father, Kirk Ferentz, whose model for consistently winning teams now has made him the dean of Big Ten football coaches. Wi...

A Passover Celebration of Women's Freedom
Monday, April 12, 2004
New York, NY —This is the week when Jews celebrate their ancestors' journey out of Egypt and out of slavery. For more than ten years, women have been celebrating the Mayan Seder, a special Passover ritual that emphasizes the journey of women into freedom. It began because while women are present in the stories of the Exodus, they go mostly unmentioned in traditional Seders. NPR's Margot Adler went to one in New York City.

Painted Turtle Gang Camp Foundation
Rating: 5 stars 2 2 reviews 109
Issues: Health, Sports
Location: 1300 4th Street Suite 300 Santa Monica CA 90401 USA
Programs: The Painted Turtle can be a powerful intervention for children who have chronic and life-threatening illnesses. The camp's week-long summer sessions and year-round weekends help seriously ill children gain the knowledge, skills, and support they need to lead healthier, happier lives.
Through scheduled visits to the Well Shell (the camp's medical center), evening cabin chats, and spontaneous "teachable moments," campers develop greater coping strategies, learn medical self-care techniques, and increase their medical compliance through intentional programming. Campers' participation in adaptive physical activities such as horseback riding, swimming, and the high-ropes adventure course, helps them build greater confidence, self-esteem, and trust in their bodies. The Painted Turtle's arts and crafts, performing arts, and nature programs provide campers with avenues for self-expression, creativity, and exploration.
Similar to the summer camp sessions, The Painted Turtle's Family Weekends are designed to meet the unique needs of families with children who have chronic and life-threatening illnesses. These overnight weekends offer families respite from the stress of caring for a chronically ill child and give the whole family an opportunity to reconnect and recharge in a safe and beautiful environment.
During their time at The Painted Turtle they also get to connect with, and gain support from, others who are dealing with a similar situation. Throughout the weekends children and parents participate in educational, recreational, and community building activities.
The Painted Turtle operates nine program areas which include aquatics, archery, arts and crafts and woodshop, boating and fishing, creative and performing arts, equestrian, fun and games, nature and discovery, and a ropes adventure course.
The Painted Turtle Camp, located in Lake Hughes, 60 miles north of metropolitan Los Angeles, encompasses 173 acres with a 23-acre bass lake. The camp offers weeklong, disease-specific programs to hundreds of children ages 7 to 16 during the summer. Throughout the rest of the year, The Painted Turtle hosts chronically ill children and their families for weekend programs. Each of these opportunities allow us to offer children and families challenged by chronic and life-threatening illnesses with the chance to learn new strategies of medical self-care, increase their self-confidence, build supportive friendships with peers who have the same disease, and have some good old-fashioned fun. Camp allows these children to regain some of their childhood that has been lost to illness and learn a bit more about how best to cope with their illness.

They say that Disneyland is the Happiest Place on Earth. Not so. Just ask anybody who has spent anytime in any capacity at the Painted Turtle Camp. It doesn't matter if you are a camper,volunteer,staff, family of a camper or a visiter of the yearly open house. You will walk away a changed person. The love is evident. They staff and volunteers care for your children as if they were their family. I am always amazed at the energy of everyone there. We have been attending family weekend for about 6 years and our son attends week long summer sessions for about 4 years. We go at not cost to us. They have volunteer medical staff from some of the best hospitals not only in the area but in the country.
The camp experiance is alive and well at the Turtle. Camp songs are sung, goofy dances are the norm, laughter is a must, and good vibe is a rule. Fun is a serious buisness. And you and your kids are safe to be your silly, dilly self. Everyone has heard you get out of it, what you put into it. It could never be truer than at the Painted Turtle. If you embrace the madness and just let go and go with the flow you will have a life changing experiance. Every kids just want to be normal, more so for the kids with chronic and life threatening illnesses. And here they are the norm. No one looks twice at scars, ports, prosthetics. There is no taunting from other kids that medications are taken, that shots are given, breathing treatments are scheduled.
You get support not only from the staff but the kids support each other. I as a kid never went to camp and never thought about it. But if I knew camp was like the Painted Turtle I would have morned it my whole kidhood. I wish my son was 100% healthy, but I am so happy there is a place like the Painted Turtle.

I wish that healthy siblings could attend summer camp. Healthy siblings are often in the shadow of the attention of the ill child.

For good, quick and accurate metering on the fly, the 2S is my choice. Does that mean I would suggest someone seek out the OM 2S? Not really and I wouldn't tell them to cross it off the list. There are no cameras that I have found which have a manufacturers warrantee on their 25 to 30 year old cameras. Zuiko optics are great, offering some super choices from wide through telephoto and including some of the best macro gear available. The OM system is a great one and I'll probably use it for the rest of this incarnation. An Om 2S will probably always have a spot in my 35mm film kit. Bill BarberOriginally Posted by Woolliscroft

CLEVELAND — Mike Aviles homered leading off the 11th inning to give the Cleveland Indians a 2-1 win over the Baltimore Orioles on Friday night.
Aviles connected on a 1-2 pitch from Brian Matusz (2-3), driving it onto the home run porch in left field for just Cleveland's second run in the past 22-plus innings. The Indians were shut out 1-0 by Arizona in 12 innings on Wednesday night.
As he neared home plate, Aviles slowed down and was splashed in the face with water by his jubilant teammates, who then embraced him and danced up the first-base line.
The walk-off win allowed the Indians to keep momentum in their playoff push. Cleveland has won four of five.
Scott Atchison (6-0) retired all six batters and capped a night when the Indians got another big outing from starter Corey Kluber.
Mariners 7, Tigers 2
DETROIT — Robinson Cano homered, James Paxton won his sixth consecutive decision to start his career and the surging Seattle Mariners beat the Detroit Tigers 7-2 Friday night in a matchup of American League playoff contenders.
Paxton (3-0) pitched six innings, allowing one run and five hits, to help Seattle win its fifth straight and ninth in 11 games. Cano and Logan Morrison each scored twice for the Mariners, who jumped a half-game ahead of Detroit in the race for the second AL wild card.
The Tigers began the day a half-game behind first-place Kansas City in the AL Central.
Rick Porcello (13-8) struggled badly in his first appearance since pitching the final three innings of Detroit's 19-inning loss in Toronto on Sunday. After a five-start stretch in which he had a 1.75 ERA, the 25-year-old righty gave up six runs — five earned — and 10 hits in six innings. He didn't walk a batter, but struck out only three.
Seattle jumped out to a quick three-run lead in the second.
Following a leadoff single and a hit batter, Morrison and Endy Chavez each hit an RBI single. Chris Taylor bunted for a single, loading the bases with none out, but ex-Tiger Austin Jackson grounded into a double play, helping Porcello to escape only down 3-0.
An inning earlier, Jackson received a long standing ovation when he led off his first game at Comerica Park since the trade-deadline deal that sent him to Seattle and brought ace pitcher David Price to the Tigers.
Cano made it 4-0 with a long homer on the first pitch of the third.
After the Tigers got on the board in the bottom half, Taylor restored the four-run lead with an RBI single in the fourth.
Trainer's room
Tigers: RHP Justin Verlander (shoulder) isn't scheduled to pick up a baseball until Tuesday, when he will try some short tossing. Tigers manager Brad Ausmus said Verlander's schedule will be based entirely on how he feels then, but the hope is still that he will start next Friday in Minnesota.
Up next
The Tigers and Mariners square off again tonight with a marquee pitching matchup. Price (11-8) will make his third start for Detroit, and Seattle counters with Felix Hernandez (12-3).
Hernandez, who made his major league debut at Comerica Park, is 9-0 in his last 11 starts against the Tigers, but will be facing Price for the first time.

Given how guys at this weight class have performed so far this year anything other than a DT v. Dong final would definitely be a surprise. As mentioned, Lister has struggled so far during the early part of the season.
Remind me, what is the issue with Dong and Lister?

Written by Debbie Metzler, M.S., Advocacy Coordinator
After she was born, Jamie was stolen from her mother and raised in an unnatural environment. She was forced to wear costumes and perform for people to laugh at. Despite this, she created a connection with the group she lived in, and wanted to be like them. When she was still just a child, only 9-years-old, she was imprisoned for a crime she didn't commit. No law would save her, and no defender would protect her. As if being in prison wasn't enough, she was regularly put under anesthesia, used as a guinea pig for medical vaccines, and when the tests were over she was shut back in her prison block until the next round of research would begin. Jamie lived in this prison for over two decades.
What happened to Jamie is shocking. No human should ever be treated this way or have to live through these circumstances. But Jamie is a chimpanzee. She was raised in a human household and used in entertainment. When she became too strong, she was sold into biomedical research and used in testing until she was rescued by Chimpanzee Sanctuary Northwest in 2008.
Jamie is the smartest primate you'll ever meet. She is constantly working on projects, is always aware of what everyone in her group is doing, and she is very socially manipulative. Jamie identifies with the humans a lot, probably because she was raised in a human environment. But sadly, for Jamie and for all captive chimpanzees, she simply cannot live in the human world. Chimpanzees are just too strong and willful to be safe in a human environment. They are territorial and they bite when they feel threatened. So Jamie now lives in the chimpanzee world, but she still relates to and socializes with her human caregivers.
Jamie seems to be very aware of her captivity. While many other captive chimpanzees appear to accept their life for what it is, Jamie wishes for more. Keeping her mind engaged is something that caregivers are constantly trying to do, but happily accept the challenge. We can't ever make up for what was taken from Jamie, but we can try to give her a good life now.
After six years in sanctuary, Jamie has transformed both physically and psychologically. When she and the other chimpanzees in her group arrived from the lab, they looked and acted like ghosts of themselves. Today, Jamie takes daily territorial patrols of her two-acre outdoor enclosure. She plays fun games of chase with her chimpanzee friends and enjoys boots and flipping through magazines. She delights in eating pears and oranges and loves to forage for food in hard-to-reach spots. She appreciates a good challenge. She climbs over structures and likes to take in the view such a simple pleasure she was denied for decades.
It is difficult to imagine how Jamie survived the years of boredom and fear in biomedical research, and it is heartbreaking knowing how many chimpanzees are still being held in laboratories. Every captive chimpanzee deserves a defender. Every captive chimpanzee deserves caregivers who strive to give them the best life possible where they can enjoy the feeling of sun on their backs and grass under their feet and learn what it means to be a chimpanzee.
Chimpanzee Sanctuary Northwest provides sanctuary to chimpanzees discarded from the entertainment and biomedical testing industries. The sanctuary also works to empower individuals to create change for apes in need everywhere through their advocacy program, Eyes on Apes. For more information, visit www.EyesOnApes.org and www.ChimpsNW.org.
Debbie Metzler has a master's degree in psychology and primate behavior and she has worked as a caregiver at chimpanzee sanctuaries for nearly a decade. When she's not spending time keeping chimpanzees happy and enriched, Debbie is working on advocacy and educating the public about the plight of captive and freeliving apes.

My heart goes out to Jamie. Make a full recovery my darling. To apologise for the way mankind has treated you is not enough. What you have been through for so long is atrocious. You have suffered terribly and man has been exonerated of the crime he has committed against you.
I am crying for Jamie and all the other animals who are forced to endure these horrible experiments and testing!
I am so sorry that she had to wait over 29 years to enjoy just being a chimp! I pray
her remaining years last a long time, because she has a lot of time to make up for when she was locked up!
So many of the stories on this site are so heartbreaking. This poor animal and others like her don't deserve this. I don't know who in their right mind would want to pick a profession that they go to work everyday and experiment on animals, causing them pain, and torturing them. These have to be sadistic people. On top of that I am sure they are getting a great paycheck to do their jobs. I think these people are sick, and I don't understand how they can even like or love their jobs.
I hope Jamie and other chimps like her will live out their new lives in peace and never experience any harm again.
Six years later, Jamie thrives. as does Jody Negra Burrito Missy Annie Foxie, I am forever grateful to all the staff at CSNW who have ever worked in serving the chimps and to those who still work there,
The Chimps arrived June 13,2008 ,, they were pale, skinny, frightened, and wondering what this new place would be like. It was bigger, it smelled clean and no one wanted to poke or prod them or make them breed to produce babies for research, Instead they were spoken to softly, and caringly, From that day onwards... . . their lives CHANGE Dramatically, today the chimps continue to EAT, jump, run, climb, EXPLORE Young's Hill, 2 acre enrichment area of trees, termite mound, structure, sky walks, and lush green tall grass, Sure its not the wilds of Africa, but its a good life of excellent care and freedom from any further exploitation or suffering, Life for the CE~7 if grand,
What terrible pain and suffering is inflicted on many animals by so called humans who are nothing more than sadistic depraved morons. I am so delighted to see the immense change in Jamie after receiving care and love. What an incredible being to recover from all she has been through.
What a major transformation. She looked close to death in the original picture and in the second picture she looks healthy and happy. How can people treat animals in that way and live with their conscience.
My best wishes for a good life. Lets think about the other ones still suffering.
Terrific that she gets a chance to be a chimp and not an experiment.
So sad.

New Trucks Ratings
Getting firsthand information from an actual car owner is one sure way to get an idea of car performance once it leaves the lot. Autobytel features real consumer reviews that give the unbiased experience of a car.
2002 Chevrolet Avalanche 1500 - 4x2
Pros: changes from a truck to a suv easily and quickly
Cons: slower acceration than some trucks I have owned
Advice: I think it is worth buyingI like it
2002 Nissan Frontier - SC-V6 (A4) 4x2 Standard Bed Crew Cab
Pros: The Supercharged engine!
Cons: extremely poor fuel economy and lack of topend power!
Advice: Be cautious if fuel economy is importantI own a 2001 S/C frontier, despite the lack of topend power, the vehicle is solid to Nissan standards. But, I firmly believe we can do better to improve the ponies under the hood and at the same time increase the fuel economy, via the supercharger.
2002 Chevrolet Avalanche 2500 - 4x2
Pros: Functionality - Hands down
Cons: Rather hard to park
Advice: Get the running boards...it sets rather high off the groundI first heard about the new Avalanche in the office where it was refered to as a 'what the Sport Trac wants to be'. That about sums it up. It drives like a luxury car (albeit a large one) but has the versitility and function of a truck. What could be better. I get stares and looks wherever I drive it. Really a well thought out and well developed vehicle.
2002 Chevrolet Avalanche 1500 - 4x4
Pros: Panels, compartments, windows, compartments, pickup bed, compartments
Cons: feels heavy
Advice: if you want the creature comforts of a suburban, buy one --Hello from Fairfax Virginia, home to more SUVs per capita than anywhere in the nation (although terrain is relatively flat, and no snow to speak of). I've owned Suburbans, Expeditions, and one Isuzu diesel PU, and the Avalanche is the 'Reanimator' version (remember the movie?) of all three. Although only 3100 GVW, the Avalanche feels exceedingly heavy, in that it is based on the Suburban platform. However, it is very comfortable, and doesn't have that F250 feel that the Expedition has. Cool features, although I am concerned about the seal between the PU bed and the passenger compartment -- a great idea, but I think I'll wait a year before I spring for one - as a yuppie with a big yard, the Suburban/PU combination is intriguing, and, there aren't many on the road.

After years of research and consideration, the MCC Board of Trustees unanimously recommended that our Damon City Campus move to properties at State Street and Morrie Silver Way in downtown Rochester. On the road to making this important decision, we kept the following goals in mind.
Student Success
MCC's downtown campus provides a much-needed option for students who are serious about educational achievement and prefer to attend classes in the city. These students deserve an educational experience that equals that of their peers at our Brighton Campus and offers the best possible opportunities for success.
Room to Grow
Enrollment at our Damon City Campus is over 2,600 students, larger than the undergraduate student bodies at some area four-year colleges. An expanded facility — one that we can own and maintain — offers better future educational experiences and allows us to create a collegiate environment equal to the drive and aspirations of our students.
Fiscal Responsibility
Throughout the search process, MCC has been very aware of its obligation and responsibility to Monroe County and New York state taxpayers. Our budget is $72 million; we selected a set of existing, well-maintained buildings that we are able to renovate within budget.
True Campus Ownership
Relocating to State Street and Morrie Silver Way allows MCC to own and customize its downtown campus. Ownership provides the opportunity to create and maintain a campus focused on students, in a fiscally responsible way.
Regional Benefits
MCC is a primary educator for the Western New York region. The most important economic benefit of our college, including our downtown campus, is the development of students into a strong workforce. The State Street site has the greatest potential to become a learning environment where MCC students can succeed, and to allow MCC to move the economic futures of our students, our city, our county, and our entire region forward.

WASHINGTON -- House Speaker John Boehner'??s carefully planned effort to paint Republicans as unified behind a tax and spending plan was in turmoil Thursday night, as he was unable to find enough votes from his own members to pass a tax increase on the wealthy.
Boehner'??s sudden decision not to vote was a stunning setback for the speaker, who had hoped his '??Plan B'?ù would give him fresh momentum heading into a crucial round of talks with President Barack Obama to avoid the fiscal cliff.
But the warning signs were too numerous to ignore. Conservatives balked at his plan to tax those earning more than $1 million. Even after Republican leaders agreed to allow a vote on a spending plan, that plan passed by only a 215-209 vote.
About an hour and a half later, after tense closed-door meetings with Republican leaders, Boehner issued a statement.
'??The House did not take up the tax measure today because it did not have sufficient support from our members to pass,'?ù he said.
'??Now it is up to the president to work with Senator (Harry) Reid on legislation to avert the fiscal cliff. The House has already passed legislation to stop all of the January 1 tax rate increases and replace the sequester with responsible spending cuts that will begin to address our nation'??s crippling debt. The Senate must now act.'?ù
The Senate does not plan to act.
Tax cuts are due to expire at the end of the year, and automatic spending cuts will kick in Jan. 2 unless alternatives are adopted.
No final action is expected anytime soon, as the Senate is scheduled to leave today until Dec. 27 and the House is at a partisan impasse.
The House votes were always a gamble. Democrats made it clear throughout the day that the Thursday tax and spending measures were dead in the Senate, '??bills to nowhere,'?ù as House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., put it.
Republican leaders were hoping the votes would have value, showing they stood together in backing tough spending measures while accepting some tax increase for the wealthy. But Boehner had to struggle to win over wary conservatives opposed to any tax increase and seeking even more spending cuts.
The vote came during a day of familiar but intensifying partisan oratory, flavored with expressions of hope that a deal was in the works.
Democrats howled that the votes were little more than a sideshow that demonstrated how Republicans were delaying progress so they could score political points.
The House bill would have only millionaires pay the pre-George W. Bush top rate of 39.6 percent, up from the current 35 percent. Everyone else would continue to pay at current rates. The spending bill replaces the automatic cuts with several different adjustments, including eliminating fraud, waste and abuse in federal programs. The bill also would cancel the automatic cuts in defense and some domestic programs, and replace those cuts with reductions in a series of other programs.
The Democratic-led Senate has no plan to consider the bills, said Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev.
WASHINGTON (AP) '?? The House on Thursday overwhelmingly passed a $633 billion defense bill for next year despite Pentagon complaints that it spares outdated but politically popular weapons at the expense of the military'??s ability to fight.
The vote was 315-107 and sent the legislation to the Senate, where leaders hoped to wrap up the measure. The White House had threatened a veto of earlier versions of the bill, and spokesman Jay Carney said Thursday that the threat still stands.
The bill is $1.7 billion more than Obama requested. Democrats argued that the bill runs counter to demands for fiscal discipline.

Diabetic Shock and Insulin Reactions
In this article
How Is Hypoglycemia Treated? continued...
After you've taken a snack, wait 15 minutes and check your blood sugar level again. If it is still low, eat another snack, then wait 15 minutes and check it again. Repeat the process until your blood sugar level is in its normal target range.
If you lose consciousness, you will need immediate medical attention. It's important that you educate the people in your family and the people you work with about diabetic shock and about what to do if it happens. Someone should call 911 or arrange to get you to an emergency room if that's not possible.
You can ask your doctor to prescribe a glucagon rescue kit and then teach others how to use it. Glucagon is a natural hormone that rapidly causes the level of sugar in your blood to rise. If you are unconscious, someone injecting you with glucagon even before emergency help arrives can prevent further complications and help you recover.
Can Diabetic Shock Be Prevented?
There are things you can do to lower your risk of diabetic shock or hypoglycemia.
One of the most important things to do is to understand the medication you are using, whether it is insulin or a pill that increases the body's production of insulin. Ask your doctor how and when to take the medication and be sure to always take the recommended dose at the recommended time. Also ask your doctor to explain when you need to make adjustments to your medicine when there is a change in your schedule or routine.
Be sure to follow your meal plan, eating the right amount of the proper food at the right time. Don't skip any meals or snacks, especially before going to sleep or exercising. Discuss your snacks with your dietitian. Some snacks may be better than others at certain times for preventing hypoglycemia. During periods of more intense physical activity, be sure to eat more carbohydrates.
Be sure you check your blood glucose level routinely according to the plan you've worked out with your doctor. Also check it before you begin to exercise and at regular intervals during exercise or other exertion. And check it again after you've finished any physical activity.
Discuss your use of alcohol with your doctor. Your doctor can help you understand how to drink safely so you don't increase your risk of hypoglycemia.
Is This Normal? Get the Facts Fast!
Your level is currently
If the level is below 70 or you are experiencing symptoms such as shaking, sweating or difficulty thinking, you will need to raise the number immediately. A quick solution is to eat a few pieces of hard candy or 1 tablespoon of sugar or honey. Recheck your numbers again in 15 minutes to see if the number has gone up. If not, repeat the steps above or call your doctor.
People who experience hypoglycemia several times in a week should call their health care provider. It's important to monitor your levels each day so you can make sure your numbers are within the range. If you are pregnant always consult with your health care provider.
Congratulations on taking steps to manage your health.
However, it's important to continue to track your numbers so that you can make lifestyle changes if needed. If you are pregnant always consult with your physician.
Your level is high if this reading was taken before eating. Aim for 70-130 before meals and less than 180 two hours after meals.
Even if your number is high, it's not too late for you to take control of your health and lower your blood sugar.
One of the first steps is to monitor your levels each day. If you are pregnant always consult with your physician.
