Skagway, Alaska
My Rating
It was OK. I thought I was booking the train tour but it was a bus. The guide was good and was a lot of fun. I'd have preferred the train as it went into more remote areas it seemed. All in all it was good. Honestly I'd never set foot in Skagway again as there were 4 ships or maybe 5 ships in while we were there and you couldn't move. NYC wouldn't have been any more crowded. 12K people in a town where 841 people live is a bit crowded for me. The most interesting part of the tour was the picture of the line of humanity in the bus. People came for the gold rush and many died going after the gold. Interesting story but if you can, skip it and go to some other port.
Juneau, Alaska
My Rating
Glacier was fine. Wish we'd have spent more time there and less time looking for whales. I have seen plenty of whales up close and this was not a good trip. We saw one whale for about 20 seconds and that was it so mainly it was a boat ride. At the glacier, there was a water fall that was massive and you could hike to it. Also there were chopper trips on to the Glacier where you could walk around on it. I think that would be cool. Our bus driver was great! We were on the way back to the ship when an IDIOT parked on a 4 lane road smack in the middle and had exited the vehicle (SUV) to take pictures of Eagles, the bus driver was pointing them out to us and when he looked up we were on the SUV. He clipped it with the mirror and broke it but that was it. It was a miracle that people didn't die as we were going about 60 miles an hour and he made a stuntman proud. He got a LOT of tips let me tell you.
Ketchikan, Alaska
My Rating
The weather was phenom. About 70 degrees and not a cloud in the sky. The trip is 360 for two people which quite honestly is too high for a zodiac boat. It was beautiful and there were salmon jumping, eagles flying and the scenery is special. Our guide was a hoot and we had fun. It was the best of the tours but part of that was the WEATHER.

You throw out Luke Manuel and Glasser as if those are bad losses. Both of them were ranked in the top 10 for most of last year. Manuel was undefeated and sitting at #3 or 4 for a while. Rella was a very solid wrestler who spent most of the year ranked.
I do think Zeerip could win the Big 10 this year, but there are a lot of guys at his weight that could. It's just not a weight that has a standout guy. Meanwhile, Ruth will be making freshman errors and cutting like crazy down to 74. You could have gotten him in the 12th round--about the time I took Zeerip.
And I already explained why I dropped him and picked up Booth; look at the post right above yours.

FARSCAPE..worth the trouble?

Re: FARSCAPE..worth the trouble?
First time Farscape viewer here.
I have watched the first 10 episodes of Season One so far. I really like the characters, especially D'Argo and Rygel. I'm down with the puppets. However, the actual stories themselves so far seem really disconnected and the opening scene of some episodes make me feel unsettled because they start in the middle of something already happening and there is no leading up to how they got where they are, who they are dealing with, and what is actually going down. It feels like I skipped a scene or two at the beginning of an ep when really I haven't. On a positive, this is the first sci fi show I have seen that feels truly alien in space and very very weird (read creative and fresh). I keep hearing Season 1 is the worst and just stick with it and most people say the Bugs Life ep is when things get good or sometime late in the season. Heck, I can't wait to get a few eps down the line to where Chiana is introduced.
So far so good. I've watched the first 10 eps only (but they really do feel standalone and I am clamoring for the story arcs). Is this a typical first time viewer reaction to Farscape?

Probate Avoidance in Missouri
Keeping Your Assets Out of Probate
By: Joseph Piatchek
At the Piatchek Law Firm, LLC, our Springfield, Missouri Estate Planning Attorneys Kara L. Breshears and Joseph J. Piatchek have advised thousands of clients on how to avoid Probate Court, and truly understand the tools available to do avoid probate - Revocable Living Trusts, Payable on Death (POD) Designations, (TOD) Transfer on Death Designations, Beneficiary Deeds, and other non-probate transfer techniques.
But first, let's be honest. You have heard of Probate, and have been told you need to avoid it. However, do you really know why you need to avoid Probate? Do you know what Probate Court is? Most people do not know, and many don't want to know. In the event you would like to know more about Probate, then we encourage you to read our both our introductory Probate page, as well as our page on the different types of Probate estates.
Why Avoid Probate
The probate process costs money (sometimes a great deal of money). It takes a significant amount of time to complete (often a year, sometimes more). It is not a private process; probate court records are public knowledge, and assets that are being probated are like a sitting duck for any outstanding creditors – they simply file a claim with the Probate Court and will likely get paid. Probate can also be confusing, cumbersome, and time consuming. So if it's possible to avoid probate, the question is - why wouldn't you want to avoid probate? Probate Court can be totally avoided with the help of an experienced will and trust lawyer, and some thoughtful estate planning – two things we certainly offer at our firm.
At The Piatchek Law Firm, LLC, we help people to avoid probate and in the process help them save their loved ones the costs, delays and indignities of public probate proceedings. If you would like to learn more about how you can avoid probate, our attorneys would be happy to meet with you in person or by phone, evaluate your situation, and explain the options available to you. Many estate planning, will and trust services are also provided at a reasonable, flat fee.
For quality Estate Planning services throughout Missouri, including in our home town of Springfield, call us at417-882-5858 or contact us to schedule a consultation.
Estate Planning Tools You Can Use to Avoid Probate
Used together, the estate planning tools described below can help most people accomplish their goal of avoiding probate.
- Living trusts: by establishing a revocable living trust, you can retain control of assets during your lifetime while ensuring a smooth, non-probate distribution of those assets to intended beneficiaries when the time comes.
- Beneficiary deeds: a Beneficiary Deed is a type of Missouri Real Estate Deed can be used to transfer homes and other real property assets, upon the death of the owner, without having to go through probate, and without having to jointly title such property with children, spouses, or other intended beneficiaries while the owner is still alive.
- Transfer on death designations / payable on death designations: essentially, these tools allow you to transfer large amounts of money, real estate, stocks and even vehicles outside of the probate process. However, there are limitations on what a person can do, or should do, with these simple designations, and experience is very helpful in setting up these types transfer on death / payable on death designations.

Vikings Punter Chris Kluwe Plays Not My Job
By editor
Originally published on Sat September 29, 2012 11:07 am
ESPN writer Kevin Seifert recently described Minnesota Vikings punter Chris Kluwe this way: "Kluwe would fit in perfectly in a group of impossibly smart California mensas who spend half their time working out and (most of) the rest playing video games." Which leads us to believe Kluwe's either the nerdiest player in the NFL, and/or the most athletic nerd in history.
We've invited Kluwe to play a game called "Eureka! I have found it!" Three questions about the 2012 Ig Nobel prizes, which honor some of the more ridiculous breakthroughs in science.

Can less money lead to more innovation?
That's not an equation most managers and chief information officers overseeing cash-strapped programs and agencies would rush to embrace, yet the budgetary climate has forced some feds to come up with clever new initiatives and alternative ways to handle old problems.
At a FedInsider event titled "IT and the Federal Budget: Innovating with Less," several feds shared insight into how their agencies are improving program performance and efficiency while cutting costs.
The discussion featured all the often-used buzzwords -- shared services, virtualization, cloud-first and improved IT portfolio management -- but the real focus was on specific use cases.
One such example came from the Education Department's Office of Federal Student Aid, which identified savings through the consolidation of four websites directed at students and parents considering federal student loans.
The Office of Federal Student Aid awards $150 billion to $170 billion in student loans and grants each year – it would rank as one of the largest banks in the country based on its $1 trillion portfolio – yet prior to 2012 it maintained four duplicative websites run on separate proprietary systems that ate up millions of extra dollars of its budget.
The sites were run on a "mishmash" of systems, licenses and programs, and generally failed to perform as they should, according to panelist James McMahon, director of application development for the Office of Federal Student Aid.
McMahon said his office came up with a project called the Internal Student Experience, which replaced the four websites – www.college.gov, www.students.gov, www.ombudsman.ed.gov, and www.federalstudentaid.ed.gov – with a single www.studentaid.ed.gov in July 2012.
The project will save the office about $1.5 million over two years, and it has succeeded in other ways as well.
Internally, McMahon said, the project consolidated content, which is now centrally managed using Drupal, a flexible open-source content management system that was quickly learned by his team. McMahon's team, which had little experience in the CMS prior to the initiative, did much of the project's heavy lifting, working closely with the design firm and customers alike.
There was a risk in the consolidation efforts, McMahon said, given the broad user base and the Obama administration's spotlight on education, but the potential savings and increased efficiencies outweighed the fears of failure.
The end result for the Office of Federal Student Aid has been a cheaper website that does more, is cheaper to maintain and is viewed more favorably by the public, drawing 3 million visitors per month -- "a lot more traffic" than the four prior sites used to get, McMahon said.
"Innovation is often seen as a luxury when it comes to something not impacting the end customers," he said. "Operations come first, and the mission is the mission and you can't fail. The government tends to be risk-averse, but green lights happen more often than not if what you're doing can pay for itself. There's always a case to be made when you can point out cost savings."
Other case studies discussed came from tthe Commerce Department, the Government Printing Office, and Recovery.gov.

Necessity is the mother of invention. When you have an abundance of money you tend to waste a lot of it on trivial things that actually distract from productivity rather than increase your efficiency. One not well known fact about the education system is that for decades the top 25 states with with the highest spending per student were mostly in the bottom 25 states for student performance. You throw too much money at an organization and they tend to put their energy into things other than what they need to be productive - or creative if that is what their mission is - especially if they are not in a competative market for their product (which is the case for most Government organizations).

Paralysis of the eyes and eyelids can result in a number of problems. The most serious problem is the inability to close the eye, which can remain open while sleeping. Persistent problems with eye closure may lead to drying of the cornea. In turn, this may result in permanent scarring and eventual blindness. This is the most compelling reason to treat facial paralysis.
Other problems include the appearance of the droopy lower eyelid. Initially, the droop may be subtle, but with time, the lower eyelid will fall further. This causes a noticeable deformity and one of the stigmata of facial paralysis. The upper eyelid may also have trouble doing its part to close the eye and can worsen the problem of the "wide eyed" look. Lastly, the dynamic effect of blinking can be affected. This is typically one of the most difficult functions to restore.
Several solutions exist for the variety of problems that can affect the eye in facial paralysis. The decision to pursue surgery is made in conjunction with an ophthalmologist's evaluation. If signs of corneal scarring (ie, keratopathy) are present despite aggressive lubrication regimens, then the decision to undergo surgery is made urgently. Alternatively, if eyelid drooping (ie, lagophthalmos) is causing a severe cosmetic deformity, then one can also proceed with surgical correction.
A number of surgical techniques are available to correct eyelid paralysis depending upon severity. These include placement of an upper eyelid weight, lower eyelid tendon sling, or tarsorrhaphy (suturing outer part of upper and lower eyelids together), among others.
Synkinesis is the involuntary movement of facial muscles that can occur after recovery of the facial nerve. This happens most often in the setting of Bell's palsy and can be quite disconcerting for patients. It is the result of miswiring of the downstream branches of the facial nerve during the process of nerve regeneration. In the setting of facial paralysis, eyelid twitching may be triggered by voluntary activation of other facial muscles, such as smiling or moving the mouth. Treatment to correct this problem can include surgical denervation of the interconnections between the involved muscles or with use of Botox.
Whether mild or severe, correction of eyelid problems is an important part of any treatment plan for facial paralysis. Dr. Panossian's years of experience and specialized training in the correction of facial paralysis have assisted hundreds of patients seeking relief from their symptoms.

The BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes are involved in breast and ovarian cancer susceptibility. About 2 to 4% of breast cancer patients with positive family history, negative for point mutations, can be expected to carry large rearrangements in one of these two genes. We developed a novel diagnostic genetic test for the physical mapping of large rearrangements, based on molecular combing (MC), a FISH-based technique for direct visualization of single DNA molecules at high resolution. We designed specific Genomic Morse Codes (GMCs), covering the exons, the noncoding regions, and large genomic portions flanking both genes. We validated our approach by testing 10 index cases with positive family history of breast cancer and 50 negative controls. Large rearrangements, corresponding to deletions and duplications with sizes ranging from 3 to 40 kb, were detected and characterized on both genes, including four novel mutations. The nature of all the identified mutations was confirmed by high-resolution array comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH) and breakpoints characterized by sequencing. The developed GMCs allowed to localize several tandem repeat duplications on both genes. We propose the developed genetic test as a valuable tool to screen large rearrangements in BRCA1 and BRCA2 to be combined in clinical settings with an assay capable of detecting small mutations.

Altitude illness is a condition which occurs in many travelers making rapid ascents to high altitudes. It is commonly referred to as acute mountain sickness (AMS). It most often occurs at altitudes of 3,000 meters (approximately 10,000 feet) or more. In some individuals, it has been reported as low as 2,500 meters (8,000 feet).
We suspect that altitude illness is caused by the body's reaction to lower levels of oxygen found at high altitudes. The disease may occur several hours to days after ascending to high altitudes. Symptoms range from mild to severe.
Classic, high risk areas of the world for altitude illness include any mountain range over 10,000 feet, such as the Alps, Andes, or Himalayas. In addition, travelers to areas of North American, East Africa, and the polar regions are at risk.
Altitude illness can range from mild to severe.
The last group of symptoms may represent fluid accumulation in the brain (high altitude cerebral edema) or lungs (high altitude pulmonary edema). In these severe cases, the disease can be fatal if not treated rapidly and requires descent to lower altitudes. Luckily, in most travelers, altitude illness is mild and does not become severe.
Asthma does not increase the risk of altitude illness. In fact, people with asthma often do well at altitude since there is less pollution in the air.
The best prevention is slow ascent. In general, ascent of altitudes of no more than 1,000 feet (300 meters) per day above 10,000 feet is recommended. Upon arrival at altitude, you should avoid strenuous activity until you fully acclimatize.
Maintain fluid intake to avoid dehydration and follow the maxim, "climb high and sleep low." Avoid alcohol, cigarettes and sedatives (including narcotics).
The active ingredient in coca leaves is a mild stimulant that may help you stay alert and hydrated. This may make you feel better at altitude. Unfortunately, it does not prevent altitude illness.
It is unknown whether these two medications are effective in preventing altitude sickness, and therefore, their use is not recommended.
Physical conditioning does not protect against altitude illness. Susceptibility is based on your body's response to altitude and is not reflective of aerobic capacity.
If slow ascent is not possible or if you have a history of recurrent altitude illness, preventive medications may be needed. An example is Mt. Kilimanjaro (19,340 feet), which is often climbed in less than seven days.
The drug of choice to prevent altitude illness is acetazolamide. Take this medication 24 hours before ascent above 10,000 feet through 24-48 hours after you reach peak altitude. Avoid this medication if you have a history of sulfa antibiotic allergy, liver or kidney disease, or severe lung disease. Acetazolamide may cause tingling of the lips, fingers and toes, frequent urination, and a metallic taste with carbonated beverages.
If you cannot take acetazolamide, dexamethasone can be used. If you've had adverse reactions to steroids or have diabetes, this drug may not be safe for you. Dexamethasone can cause headaches, nausea, dizziness, abdominal pain, and can suppress your immune function if used over a long period of time.
If symptoms of acute mountain sickness develop, you should stop your ascent, rest and get adequate fluids and calories. If altitude illness symptoms worsen, rapid descent to lower altitudes should begin as soon as possible. You should also see a medical professional.
Oxygen, use of hyperbaric chambers and medications may be needed.

Traveler's diarrhea is the most common infectious disease experienced by international travelers. It can be caused by bacteria (most common), viruses or parasites that have been ingested through contaminated food or drink. Traveler's diarrhea can be mild to extreme in severity.
Remember: boil it, cook it, peel it, or forget it! In other words, if you don't boil, cook, or peel your food, you could get sick.
Other prevention tips include:
Traveler's diarrhea can range from mild to severe. Treatment varies based on severity.
Mild traveler's diarrhea is characterized by 3-4 unformed stools in 24 hours with mild cramping.
Recommended treatment:
Symptoms of moderate traveler's diarrhea include increased frequency of unformed bowel movements with one or more of the following: Fever up to 101° F, abdominal pain, nausea or vomiting.
Recommended treatment:
Severe traveler's diarrhea is moderate diarrhea with or without abdominal cramping/pain, fever, blood in stool, dehydration. You can take antibiotics if you have severe diarrhea, but if symptoms worsen seek medical care. These symptoms could indicate a more severe infection, such as giardia or amoebiasis.
Young children (under age 5) are particularly susceptible to becoming dehydrated from diarrhea. Do not use loperamine (Imodium AD™) in children.
If a breastfeeding infant has diarrhea, continue breastfeeding. An infant or toddler should have at least one wet diaper every 4-6 hours. If there is a longer period between wet diapers, the child needs more fluids and should be seen by a health care provider. Parents and guardians should have a low threshold for seeking medical help if a child in their care experiences vomiting and diarrhea.

By avoiding insect bites during your travels to tropical and subtropical regions, you can prevent the following diseases:
Care should be taken to protect yourself and your family from most bugs you might encounter.
Repellents containing Picaridin at 7-20% concentrations are also available, and compared to the products above, may be as effective, but need more frequent application.
When applying both insect repellent and sunscreen, always apply the sunscreen liberally first, wait 10 to 15 minutes if possible, then apply insect repellent.
The following products are used to avoid bites and stings of insects, and thereby reduce the risk of contracting the diseases they carry. They can be purchased in many pharmacies and outdoor supply stores (e.g., REI), including at Hall Health Pharmacy. Some specific products are listed for your information.
NOTE: Please note that these repellents are to be used only on exposed skin and not under clothing.
DEET repellent – DEET (N, N-diethyl-m-toluamide) is the most effective repellent against mosquitoes, chiggers, ticks, fleas, and biting flies. Controlled release formulations have longer lasting effectiveness. Avoid contact with eyes, mouth, and synthetic materials. Toxic only if swallowed.
We strongly recommend DEET-containing repellents over all others, based on its proven safety, effectiveness, and ease of use. Look for a minimum concentration of 20% and a maximum concentration of 50%.
Picaridin – available for many years in Europe at 21% concentration. Higher concentrations provide longer duration of protection.
Higher concentrations provide longer lasting protection.
Permethrin is a synthetic chemical analogue of pyrethrum, which is the natural substance found in chrysanthemums. It effectively repels and kills insects. Permethrin is available in various formulations, as a spray for clothing, or as a liquid for "soaking" clothing or bed nets.
See manufacturer's recommendations for application. Generally, permethrin is effective for 6 washings on clothing. If clothing is ironed after application, permethrin can last up to 12 washings. Some manufacturers offer travel clothing that is already treated with permethrin.
Locally, REI sells mosquito nets. Various companies sell mosquito nets and netting on the web. Here is a sampling, in no particular order, and without endorsement.
Military surplus stores also may stock mosquito nets.
Talk to your travel consultant at Hall Health or your personal health care provider if you are allergic to bee stings. The products discussed above may not be effective against bee stings and you should be appropriately prepared to manage a bee sting reaction.

EL SEGUNDO – In the left pocket of Mike Brown's baggy shorts are all the answers, a meticulously printed-out plan that documents every detail he intends to accomplish in that particular Lakers practice.
Atop the folded cardboard paper with all these different lessons and greater goals, though, is the same header every day:
"Chemistry = TRUST"
The "Chemistry" part is written in red, appropriate for what romantics we are when it comes to that.
Especially with someone as compelling as Kobe Bryant, we want to know all about the chemistry, the relationships – and then the squabbling, too. We could put a headline on this column about Kobe's relationship with Brown, Kobe's relationship with Pau Gasol or Kobe's relationship with his wife ... and they'd all pique rabid levels of fascination.
It's part of our celebrity-centered, paparazzi-popping world, but it's also basic human nature to wonder how people you care about are getting along with others.
If I tell you I saw Kobe smile and hug someone the other day for no other reason than just because, your antenna immediately goes up. Hmm ... with whom does Kobe have that level of chemistry?
Well, it was teammate Steve Blake ... in a casual, personal moment as Lakers practice was winding down.
Not so exciting. Means next to nothing as far as news. And yet, for the purposes of anyone interested in understanding Bryant's work in the Lakers' place – and predicting the NBA's next champion – there is something meaningful in every little spark or fizzle to Bryant's connections.
Therein, the Lakers were lacking last season; Andrew Bynum said so late in the playoffs when ripping the team defense as having "trust issues." Were the Lakers a little tired of winning together? Sure. But beyond that, they had forgotten how to win together, because Bryant was almost never on the practice court with his teammates. Phil Jackson and Bryant saving the juice in his knee for gametime was one of many cut corners that cost the team.
We know what wound up happening to the Lakers. We know what happens in our own relationships when we cut corners, don't have enough time and stop listening well, even if the relationships were strong and deep at one point.
And we try to learn.
That's why Brown is right to be so obsessed with chemistry and trust. And the next level above those words in Brown's coaching pyramid, if you want to know where he really aspires for the Lakers to go, is loyalty.
Yes, we're into some seriously relationshippy terms here, but stop and think about this for a second: How awesome is it for us as fans to know that even when it comes to this sociological stuff, the scoreboard still works?
The guys don't have to love each other. The results will reveal whether they establish the chemistry and trust. If the talent is there – as it was on the Lakers last season – but the results aren't there ... well, it's a simple, fair conclusion that the chemistry and trust weren't there either.
To go inside a home and get inside two heads so as to assess a marriage living or dying is far more complicated and speculative stuff.
So while the story of the Bryants' divorce has displaced Dwight Howard for the moment as the topic du jour in Lakerland, the reality is that neither Vanessa nor Dwight is in the practice gym with the Lakers as they try to build this thing now.

Former Telecom Minister A Raja, a key accused facing trial in the 2G spectrum case, today sought to drag Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's name in a Delhi court by saying that all actions were taken with his "concurrence" and not "unilaterally".
"I did not take any unilateral decision, but acted on the proposals of DoT and discussions with other Cabinet Ministers and the then Solicitor General and after properly apprising the Prime Minister and taking his concurrence. My actions do not amount to abuse of official position or any other offence," Raja told Special CBI Judge O P Saini.
Deposing before the court, Raja said that monitoring of 2G scam probe by the Supreme Court led the CBI to investigate the case in a "predetermined manner" and there was no loss to the exchequer as claimed by the probe agency.
He also told the court that the "flawed" CAG report made the whole issue "sensational" and there was complete ignorance of policy formation and government functioning by the officers investigating the case.
"I was not given an opportunity of hearing by the Supreme Court. The flawed CAG report made the issue sensational without even taking into account the views of the DoT and without properly appreciating Government policy and procedure," he said.
"There was a complete ignorance of policy formation and Government functioning by the investigating officers. The monitoring of the investigation by the Supreme Court led to the CBI investigating the case in a predetermined manner and fabricating oral evidence, since there was no documentary evidence to support the prosecution. Adverse media publicity also contributed to the case against me," Raja said.
He told this to the court while recording his statement as per the provisions of the CrPC. The court concluded recording of Raja's statement during which 1,718 questions were posed to him.

Photoshop CC One-on-One is back, and this installment teaches you how to build on your basic knowledge and achieve next-level effects with this premiere image-editing program. Industry pro Deke McClelland shows you how to seamlessly move and patch areas of a photo with the Content-Aware toolset; stretch the brightness of a scene with automatic and custom Levels adjustments; create intricate designs with text and shapes; and morph an image with layer effects and transformations. Deke also shares his techniques for sharpening details, whether addressing noise and highlight/shadow clipping or camera shake, and converting a full-color image to black and white. The final chapters show you how to best print and save images for the web, making sure all your hard work pays off in the final output.
Just as you might expect, Photoshop provides a Type tool that let's you create layers of text. You can edit the text any time you like. And thanks in part to Adobe's history as the inventor of the post-script type engine. You have all the formatting controls you could possibly want. What you might not expect is that text is unlike anything we've witnessed so far. In previous chapters, I've shown you features that affect pixels, those tiny squares of color that compose a digital image, but while text looks like pixels, complete with blocky edges at zoom ratios beyond 100% It is in fact vectors, meaning that Photoshop defines the outline of each and every character of type mathematically and renders the outlines to pixels on the Fly.
The result is that you can scale text to any size you like, and it will remain razor sharp. So let's say you increase the resolution of an image. Photoshop can't add new detail to a photograph. It can only average the existing pixels. But the program can and does redraw all text layers at the higher resolution. Meanwhile, you can seamlessly integrate text layers with pixel-based layers. Even masking them behind image elements as we'll see. This means Photoshop is a better program for synthesizing text and photographic imagery then any other program on the market even Illustrator or InDesign.
If that interests you this chapter is going to blow you away.

SUWANEE - See you later, alligator.Police made quick work Sunday afternoon of a reptilian intruder found chilling out in a Suwanee resident's front yard. At two feet long, the animal was hardly a beast. Truth be told, it could've been mistaken for a realistic bath toy. But the critter warranted some crafty maneuvering before four officers were able to capture it in a large dog crate. "It's not your normal complaint," Suwanee police spokesman Capt. Clyde Byers said. Barking dogs alerted residents on Colony Point that something was amiss about 5 p.m. The neighborhood, situated off Settles Bridge Road, is home to a sizable pond and sits a stone's throw from the Chattahoochee River, Byers said. But police aren't sure how the extroverted creature made its way to suburbia. Byers theorizes it was probably an overgrown souvenir. "The only way I can figure is that it's something somebody bought as a baby down in Florida," he said. "Then it got a couple feet big, and you say, you know, 'This booger's getting a little big.' "I imagine it could do some damage." Officials with the Georgia Department of Natural Resources retrieved the animal from police Monday. "At this point, we're trying to find an appropriate, licensed facility to take it to, maybe in another state," DNR spokesman Rick Lavender said. Lavender said, in general, alligator habitats are found south of Georgia's fall line, a swooping break in elevation and climate that runs through Columbus, Macon and Augusta. "Occasionally we have the situation where someone has one and turns it loose," Lavender said. "(But) the environment's too cold in the winter, the water's too cold." The Suwanee alligator's brethren in Lake Lanier apparently didn't get that memo. First spotted by a biologist earlier this month, the elusive alligator was spotted again Sunday and Monday lurking near the Flat Creek area in Gainesville. Lavender said the animal poses little threat to swimmers. It's about three feet long, and most of that's tail. "We're going to make some more attempts to try to trap it," Lavender said. "It doesn't pose any threats, but with any wild animal, you give it some distance."

Another Sunday. I love Sundays. We usually go to church, sometimes go out for lunch, other times make lunch at home. Today we made lunch at home because we are trying to be really good about not eating out. Ben just needed to get new tires for his car so we are trying to be better about it. I am planning a yummy meal for dinner too We usually spend Sundays relaxing and cleaning up around the house. I usually have laundry to put away too.
I have a lot of reading to do this next week. I have a few book reviews plus all the books I want to read for just myself. I am such a crazy reader but I love it.

There is no known documentary evidence to support your contention that this countermarked host coin was issued at value 2 shillings 4 1/2 pence.
Discovery Centre Posted on 05 Apr 2013 9:29 AM
Hi Eric - we passed this comment on to our Numismatics staff, who have replied as follows: According to the Catalogue of the Coins etc in the Museum of the Royal Mint by William John Hocking, London 1906, " the Government authorised the Bank to put into circulation a quantity of Spanish silver coin held in its vaults. Before issue, these coins – consisting of pillar dollars, halves, quarters, and eighths – were counterstruck at the Royal mint ... by public notice dated 9th March, 1797, these coins were made current at the rate of 4s. 9d. per dollar" (p.168). At that quoted rate the half dollar (at 4s. 9d. per dollar) was 2 s. 4 1/2d.

A hardware eulogy in Bloomfield
I was having a Bloomfield moment this morning when a little dog sporting a red cap caught my eye.
On the corner of Liberty and Cedarville, Jean Donatelli and her 8-year-old Shih Tzu, Addie, had stopped to talk to Barbara Hirst. Rather, Jean was talking. Addie was staring at something three inches off the sidewalk with the Shih Tzu's famous 'you-want-a-piece-of-me?' expression.
Jean lives around the corner on Friendship Avenue and was out walking her dog when she ran into Barbara, who lives in Morningside but whose doctor is in Bloomfield. How they know each other is that Jean is "the sister of a friend of mine's husband," said Barbara.
In my neighborhood moments, I wander around taking photos of buildings, alley houses, storefronts, kids playing, people talking, local signs, whatever says "Pittsburgh."
A red-capped dog is unusual, but a darkened hardware store with a "closed" sign is not. I was alerted to the closing of Bloomfield Hardware last week, though it has been a few months since that business of 80-plus years went dark.
Next door, at B&J Cleaners, Maryanne Wegert said losing the hardware store is a "great loss" for Bloomfield. "It's going to be missed. This guy would take care of people's lamps, fix their screens and even made deliveries." Just the other day, she said she saw people unload screens from their car and walk over to the door of the hardware store and make faces of despair when they saw the notice that the store had closed.
"I'm certainly going to miss it," said Andrew Ellsworth, a resident of Friendship. "That kind of store is a dying breed," he said. "People who worked there understood their products and knew their customers and were really helpful. It served a big area, from Bloomfield to the Hill to Lawrenceville and Shadyside. They helped me with various odd jobs, like what kind of blade to use, how to sweat pipes."
Neighborhood hardware stores, which have closed all over the city, "had a different flavor to them," he said. He could get a pane of glass cut at the Bloomfield Hardwarde After it closed, he said he had to search around to find a place that would cut glass.
"I made a conscious effort to support them, because they were a local institution. I feel like the place needs a eulogy."
Walkabout is trying to reach the owner, whom customers knew as Dave, to find out why he closed and other details about his business.

Oklahoma Shuts Down 11 Oil and Gas Rigs
HOUSTON (AP) — The number of rigs actively exploring for oil and natural gas in the U.S. dropped this week by 11 to 1,848.
Texas-based oilfield services company Baker Hughes Incorporated reported Friday that 1,410 rigs were exploring for oil and 435 were searching for gas. Three were listed as miscellaneous. A year ago, Baker Hughes listed 1,991 rigs.
Of the major oil- and gas-producing states, Oklahoma lost nine rigs, Louisiana and Pennsylvania dropped by two and California, New Mexico and West Virginia were each down by one.
Colorado added two rigs while Texas and Wyoming each gained two. Alaska, Arkansas and North Dakota were unchanged.
The rig count peaked at 4,530 in 1981 and bottomed at 488 in 1999.

01/01/0001 ,
We enjoyed a good-value midweek two-night break in which evening meal was free on the first night. But the food was so imaginative and of such a good standard that we ate there on the second night, too! The hotel is modern, cosy and attractive thanks to refurbishments and is handily placed for walking into the city centre to see the historic attractions (provided you take the direct route and turn right when you leave the hotel). We didn't have a car so didn't need to get the hotel to arrange parking. Our bedroom was comfy and quiet. But the Monkbar stands out for its hotel staff who were wonderful: friendly, pleasant and eager to help. A three-star hotel, yes, but a credit to Best Western. less
The Monkbar hotel was undergoing refurbishment while we were there. Our room had been done and was stylish and comfortable. The bathroom was efficient and well designed. The food was good and the staff in the restaurant were very helpful and cheerful. It is a pleasant place but I look forward to seeing the refurbished lobby and reception desk. These are dated and tired, with the chairs and sofas looking very worn. less
this hotel is of a high standard and is located close to the amenties of York city centre, the staff are very friendly indeed, we will stay here again on our next trip to York The hotel is in the middle of a major upgrade at the moment but disruption is at a minimum, looking forward to the end result less
Stayed at this hotel whilst visiting York and whilst the hotel was under refurbishment which did not disturb our stay it was very nice. Rooms were of a very good standard (given a disabled room for some reason). The food was also very good with breakfast both mornings and also room service ordered which was delivered promptly and very efficiently. My disappointment was on check in and check out. We booked direct through best westerns web site yet on arrival to the hotel the receptionist tried to charge me nearly £50 more for the room (thankfully I had email confirmation) we were also not aware of the £5 per day parking charge which again was fine but you should be told this before arrival. This was added to my bill on arrival, however on departure and paying for the room service it was added again to the bill thankfully I checked and questioned this as if I hadn't not only would I have paid an extra £10 for parking I could have paid the extra charge for the room. Overall I was very happy with this hotel but it just left a bitter taste in my mouth and a feeling of staff trying to pull,the wool over your eyes so to speak. less
First stayed here in 1998..have stayed many times over the years...great hotel and location with a brilliant courtyard garden ideal to relax in and enjoy a drink.
We stayed on 25/5/2015 and now many of the rooms are brand new finished to a very high standard...and the breakfast buffet is the best..great choice and probably the best blackpudding atound.
Love this place..stay here you will come time and time again less

"I bow to the purity and culture of this land. At first, I thought that the BJP has sent me here to fight the elections. Before coming here, I thought I was going to Kashi, but after I reached here I felt that Maa Ganga has called me here like a loving mother calls out to her son," BJP prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi said in Varanasi in a candid chat with the media before filing his nominations.
He further added that he would do all he can to maintain the purity of this sacred land of the Ganga. Making Varanasi the spiritual capital of the country and the Ganga Purification Project are some of his plans for the holy city. He told the media that even his native place, Vadnagar in Gujarat, is a place of worshipping lord Shiva, and Varanasi is Shiva's land.
Quoting the Russian Philospher Yenseng, Modi said that in Vadnagar education is given to the Buddhist monks and Varanasi is the land where Gautam Buddha attained enlightenment. He added that he has always been a follower of Buddha.
Seeing the support of the people in Modi's roadshow, ahead of his nomination, chills have run down the spines of his opponents. After Modi claiming to be connected to Varanasi, talk has sprung up in the Lok Sabha. It will be clear on May 16, who will be the man of this land.

Starting today, the fate of the Scottie dog, race car, top hat and the five other beloved tokens in the classic MONOPOLY game is in the hands of fans through a worldwide vote that will determine which token will be eliminated from the game. Will the shoe outpace the racecar? Will the battleship cruise past the wheelbarrow? Will fans be pressed if the iron is removed? Don't leave this one to "Chance" - it's up to fans to make sure that their favorite token will pass "GO!" and not "go directly to jail" by voting every day at Facebook.com/Monopoly, now through February 5, 2013.
Hasbro to lock up classic Monopoly icon forever - worldwide online vote asks fans to decide which game piece will "Go to Jail" and which new token will "Pass Go!" (Photo: Business Wire)
When the vote ends, Hasbro (NASDAQ: HAS) will be changing the MONOPOLY game forever by removing one of the classic tokens from the game and replacing it with a token that reflects the interests of today's MONOPOLY players. Fans can vote on Facebook for which new token they would like to see added to the game, choosing from a diamond ring, guitar, toy robot, cat or helicopter.
Fans will also be able to "campaign" to save their favorite token through Facebook and Twitter by sharing images and videos with their friends and by using the hashtag #tokenvote.
"The tokens are one of the most iconic parts of the MONOPOLY game, and we know that people are emotionally tied to their favorite one," said Eric Nyman, Senior Vice President and Global Brand Leader for Hasbro Gaming. "When we decided to replace one of the tokens in the game, we knew we had to involve our fans in the process. We can't wait to see which iconic piece will 'go to jail' and which new token the fans will choose to become part of one of the world's most popular games."

Consumer Reviews & Ratings
"I trust and like every service rider I have used at Henry Brown but Greg See has been our service rider for many years and we seek him out on every visit. We trust what he tells me my Tahoe needs 100%. The servicing and attention to detail has always been above expectations at Henry Brown. I would never consider having my Tahoe cared for at any other location, ever. I always recommend Henry Brown to my friends and associates. My Tahoe has 132,000 miles so the warranty expired some time ago but it runs like it was new, you would never know it had that many miles on it. I know that all those trouble free miles were due in part to the service quality and attention to detail that we were given by Gregg See and the entire service staff at Henry Brown. Class act."

|Active dry yeast
|1 Tablespoon (1 Package)
|1 1⁄2 Cup (24 tbs) (Warm)
|All purpose flour
|3⁄4 Cup (12 tbs), unbleached
|All-purpose flour
|2 2⁄3 Cup (42.67 tbs), unbleached
|Olive oil
|2 Tablespoon (Plus More For The Loaves)
|2 Teaspoon
|Sage leaves
|1 Tablespoon
|Rosemary leaves
|1 Tablespoon
|Thyme leaves
|1 Tablespoon
|1 Cup (16 tbs) (As Required, For Dusting)
|2 Tablespoon
|Black olives
|1⁄2 Cup (8 tbs), pitted
|1⁄3 Cup (5.33 tbs), pitted, coarsely chopped (Imported Black And Green)
|Extra virgin olive oil
|1 Tablespoon
|1 Small, halved, slivered, and sauteed with 1 clove minced garlic in the oil
|Minced garlic
|1 Clove (5 gm)
|Coarse salt
|1⁄8 Teaspoon
1) Place a baking stone or heavy baking sheet in the oven and preheat the oven to 450°F.
2) In a large bowl stir the yeast, 1/2 cup warm water and 3/4 cup flour together. Scatter the remaining 2 2/3 cups flour over the spongy mixture. Keep the bowl aside for about 30 minutes until the sponge rises up through the flour.
3) Stir 1 cup warm water, the olive oil and salt into the bowl, mix well. Stir in the fresh herbs. Turn out the dough on a lightly floured work surface and knead for 4 to 5 minutes until smooth and elastic.
4) Shape the dough into a loose ball, place in an oiled bowl and coat it well with oil. Cover with a plastic wrap and allow to rise for about 1 hour. Punch the dough down, reshape it into a ball and refrigerate covered for 8 hours or overnight.
5) Turn the dough out on a lightly floured work surface, gently press and cut the dough into 2 equal pieces. Shape each half into a ball and place about 6 inches apart on a heavily floured tray or table. Lightly brush the tops with oil, cover loosely with a plastic wrap and allow to rise for 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 hours, until doubled in bulk.
6) Once the dough has risen, flatten each ball into a 10-inch disk. Dust 2 rimless baking sheets or the backs of 2 regular baking sheets with cornmeal and transfer each disk to a baking sheet.
7) Prick the dough all over with a fork. Brush each disk with the pesto or olive oil topping and press the topping on the surface.
8) Cover one focaccia and place it in the refrigerator while the other one bakes. Place the dough on the hot sheet in the oven. Spritz the oven a few times with water and quickly close the door. Bake for about 25 minutes until the focaccia is nicely colored.
9) Remove the finished focaccia from the sheet to a wire rack to cool. Leave the sheet in the oven. Repeat with the remaining focaccia.
10) Slice the bread and serve on a serving plate.

Comment: Re:The wider social context - people distrust scie (Score 1) 173
Forensic analysis methods are not scientifically validated in general. AFAIK any forensic evidence is admissible if the the judge decides so. The general standard is that is sounds plausible.
No. The general standard is the Daubert standard (so named because it arose in Daubert v. Merrell Dow Pharmaceuticals, 509 U.S. 579 (1993). The standard is:
Judge is gatekeeper: Under Rule 702, the task of "gatekeeping", or assuring that scientific expert testimony truly proceeds from "scientific knowledge", rests on the trial judge.
Relevance and reliability: This requires the trial judge to ensure that the expert's testimony is "relevant to the task at hand" and that it rests "on a reliable foundation". Daubert v. Merrell Dow Pharms., Inc., 509 U.S. 579, 584-587. Concerns about expert testimony cannot be simply referred to the jury as a question of weight. Furthermore, the admissibility of expert testimony is governed by Rule 104(a), not Rule 104(b); thus, the Judge must find it more likely than not that the expert's methods are reliable and reliably applied to the facts at hand.
Scientific knowledge = scientific method/methodology: A conclusion will qualify as scientific knowledge if the proponent can demonstrate that it is the product of sound "scientific methodology" derived from the scientific method.[3]
Factors relevant: The Court defined "scientific methodology" as the process of formulating hypotheses and then conducting experiments to prove or falsify the hypothesis, and provided a nondispositive, nonexclusive, "flexible" set of "general observations" (i.e. not a "test") [4] that it considered relevant for establishing the "validity" of scientific testimony:
Empirical testing: whether the theory or technique is falsifiable, refutable, and/or testable.
Whether it has been subjected to peer review and publication.
The known or potential error rate.
The existence and maintenance of standards and controls concerning its operation.
The degree to which the theory and technique is generally accepted by a relevant scientific community.
That's a whole lot more stringent than "sounds plausible" (which is fairly close to the Frye "general acceptance" standard that Daubert replaced).
