Hey everyone,
My 6 year old QH mare has had a runny nose since I got her about 3 months ago. I did some research and found that it was not a problem as long as it is clear, which it was. She was eating grass in the pasture until about 3 weeks ago when I gave her a round bail alternating pens ever 2 days from grass to bail. She has developed a small cough since she started on the bail (only when she is being worked).
Yesterday her runny nose was green. I wiped it (ew) and it didn't occure again throughout the night but I wasn't working her hard. Should I be concerned? I don't want to call out a vet if it'll just pass on its own but I am worried for her. She was de-wormed in July as I didn't know when her last de-worming was. She only got about half a dose though, don't know if that might be the reason for the colour change!
I'll be moving her Oct 1st to a boarding facility with 25 horses so I don't want her to be sick and susceptible to other illnesses because of her runny nose.
Thanks in advance :)

C4 Cruise-Control Repair - No-Cruise Blues
If your cruise control won't work at all, the next step is to make sure the servo operates freely. While squeezing the diaphragm with your hand, watch the throttle open and close. The cable should move freely, with no binding or tight spots.
The first step when working with equipment that may be controlled by a fuse is to check all of the fuses with a test light. First, turn the key to the "on" position. Probe the back side of each fuse. There are two places to check. If the test light doesn't illuminate on either side of the fuse, that fuse is most likely blown. If the test light only illuminates on one side, you'll need to look in the owner's manual to see what that circuit feeds. Certain circuits require that you activate something to illuminate the test light-for example, turning on the headlamp switch to energize that particular fuse.
If your cruise control won't work at all, the next step is to make sure the servo operates freely. While squeezing the diaphragm with your hand, watch the throttle open and close. The cable should move freely, with no binding or tight spots.
There are two hoses going into the cruise servo. The smaller hose is a vacuum supply, and the larger hose is the dump hose. First, check the vacuum-supply hose using a vacuum gauge. It should read between 15 and 20 inches of vacuum at idle. If not, check the hose for leaks. This hose originates at the right side of the intake manifold under the fuel-rail cover. There you will find a solid black or a black-and-white vacuum check valve with three ports just below the fuel-pressure test port.
This is a one-way check valve that prevents a loss of vacuum to the A/C controls and cruise servo when the manifold vacuum drops under acceleration. To test the valve, remove the valve from the hose and apply vacuum to the port closest to the intake. It should not hold the vacuum. Next, apply vacuum to one of the smaller ports and cover the other small port with your finger; it should hold vacuum. (Remember that the vacuum hoses and check valve can deteriorate and become brittle with heat and age. This is a very common problem.)
If the vacuum supply is good, you need to check the operation of the dump hose. Use a vacuum pump to apply vacuum to the dump hose to approximately 15 inches, then press on the brake pedal. The vacuum should be dumped, and the gauge should read 0 inches of vacuum. (If the vacuum is not dumped, you'll need to check for a pinched vacuum hose or a faulty or out-of-adjustment brake vacuum-control switch.)
If vacuum is getting to the servo and can be dumped, check to see if you're getting power to the servo. While holding your hand on the servo, have someone turn on the ignition and turn the cruise control switch to the "on" position. You should hear and feel the solenoids in the servo click. This lets you know the switch is working and that you have power to the servo.
If you didn't hear or feel a click in the servo, you'll need to check to see if you're getting voltage to the servo itself. Disconnect the connector at the servo and connect a multimeter between terminals B and D. It should reed approximately 8 volts.
If you aren't reading 8 volts between terminals B and D, have someone release the steering-tilt arm and, with the key and cruise control in the "on" positions, move the steering column up and down slowly. If you are reading an intermittent voltage at the multimeter, the wiring from the cruise-control engagement switch could be broken inside the column. This problem can result when the wires become brittle with age. As you use the tilt-wheel feature, the wires bend and eventually break.
If you think you have a solenoid problem inside the cruise-control servo, there's a "no tools required" test you can perform. Simply pull the servo vacuum pod and cover the two vacuum ports with one finger, then push another finger against the dump servo plunger. The diaphragm should hold as long as your finger is on the plunger. If it doesn't, there's an internal leak in the servo or diaphragm, and the servo will need to be replaced.
There's a plunger and a pin inside the dump servo. Make sure they move freely and aren't stuck.
If you have a multimeter, you can use it to check the resistance of the solenoids inside the servo to make sure they're operating properly. The following procedure will work on most C4 servos. The connector will be labeled A, B, C, D, E. Unplug the connector; remember, you'll need to refer to the correct alphabetical locations at the servo.
1. Check the resistance between pins A and C. It should be somewhere between 30 and 50 ohms.
2. Check the resistance between pins C and E. It should be somewhere between 30 and 50 ohms.
3. Check the resistance between pins B and D. It should be somewhere between 10 and 30 ohms.
If any of the resistance readings falls out of range, a defective solenoid is likely to blame and the unit should be replaced.
If all of the above test out OK, check to see if the brake switch is out of adjustment. A quick way to diagnose this is to hold the brake pedal up with the top of your left foot while pressing the cruise-control button on a testdrive. If the cruise control tries to engage, the brake switch will most likely need to be adjusted. This is very common. Manual-trans Corvettes have a clutch switch that has the ability to disengage the cruise. This switch can be tested in the same way as the brake switch.
To adjust the brake-pedal switch, simply depress the brake pedal fully. Insert the brake-pedal switch until it seats on its bracket; you will hear it click as you insert it. After inserting the switch fully, pull the brake pedal back against its stop; you'll hear the switch click into its correct position. Reconnect the brake switch's electrical connector and vacuum hose (if equipped). Have someone check your brake lamps for correct operation before you go on a testdrive.
If you suspect that the brake switch may be faulty, you can use a test light to probe both sides of the switch. The test light should illuminate on one or both sides of the two wires, depending on the year of your car. If the light only illuminates on one side or the other, or both sides light up, the switch is OK. Next, press the brake pedal down and perform the same test. You should have the opposite reaction. If one side lit up and the other didn't on the first test, both sides should illuminate with the pedal applied. If both sides illuminated on the first test, only one side should illuminate when the pedal is applied. (If there was no change at all, then the brake switch should be replaced. If you have no illumination at all when you perform the first test, check for a blown fuse or an open circuit between the fuse box and the brake-light switch.)
If your cruise control and speedometer aren't working, the Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS) could be the problem.
The VSS, which is mounted on the output shaft of the transmission, sends electrical pulses to the computer. A magnet spinning past a sensor coil generates these pulses. As you increase the speed of the vehicle, the frequency of the pulses increases. Usually, if this sensor has failed, it will leave a fault code 24 in the Engine Control Module (ECM). These codes can be retrieved using a scanner.

Full Display of Patriotism Called for Great National Unity
|Pyongyang, August 5 (KCNA) -- The patriotic spirit of the Korean nation and its peculiar disposition serve as a firm ideological and moral basis for the great unity of the whole nation.
Rodong Sinmun stresses this in a signed article Wednesday.
Patriotism is love of one's country and nation and firm willingness to readily devote one's all to them, the article says, and goes on:
It is the proud tradition and characteristics of the Koreans to love the country and the nation passionately and value their dignity more than anything else.
"By our nation itself", clarified in the June 15 joint declaration, is the most steadfast patriotic idea.
The Korean nation remains divided into the north and the south, but any member of it sympathizes with the idea of "By our nation itself".
The slogan of "By our nation itself" can be heard everywhere in the north and the south of Korea and abroad, and any action against it is rejected as treachery swimming against the times and the mindset of the people.
The cause for the great unity of the Korean nation can never advance without the ardent patriotic spirit of its members.
Any Korean who values the destiny of the country and the nation should give full play to patriotism in conformity with the requirements of the times.
The patriotic spirit is, indeed, a powerful ideological and moral weapon as it helps all compatriots at home and abroad achieve the great national unity, irrespective of the differences in ideology and ism, political view and religious belief and class and strata, and consolidate it.
No force on earth can match the strength of the Korean nation advancing toward the great national unity and the reunification of the country under the banner of "By our nation itself" with high pride and honor of being the nation guided by Kim Jong Il, who is clearly indicating the way for the independent reunification and prosperity of the nation with his wise leadership based on love of the country, the nation and the people.

New report finds Western states most vulnerable to water shortages
FORT COLLINS, Colo., Feb. 21, 2013 – A new U.S. Forest Service report predicts that most of the Southwest, parts of California and the southern and central Great Plains will be the most vulnerable areas in the nation to water shortages during the next 60 years.
Climate change will substantially increase water demand and cause decreases in water supply in those regions of the United States, even as cities, farms and thermoelectric facilities become more efficient in their water usage.
Scientists from the U.S. Forest Service Rocky Mountain Research Station, Colorado State University and Princeton University used global climate models along with socio-economic scenarios to determine future water supply and demand, and the likelihood of future water shortages.
The research team, led by Tom Brown, Research Economist at the Rocky Mountain Research Station, and Jorge A. Ramirez of Colorado State University, attempted to show where and to what extent water shortages would occur if populations grew and climates changed—but water-allocation rules, infrastructure, laws and use trends remained as they are currently. The report shows where adaptation measures will be most needed.
Brown stated that "we were surprised to find that climate change is likely to have a much greater effect on future water demands than population growth. The combined effects of climate change on water supply and demand could lead to serious water shortages in some regions."
The report, "Vulnerability of U.S. Water Supply to Shortage: A Technical Document Supporting the Forest Service 2010 RPA Assessment," affirmed that of 98 river basin assessments across the U.S., the arid and semi-arid regions of the nation are the most vulnerable areas to future water shortages. Although the detailed results differ depending on which scenario is simulated and which climate model is used, the general finding of increasing and substantial vulnerability in the Southwest holds true in all cases.
To download or read the report online, go to: www.treesearch.fs.fed.us/pubs/42363. To request a printed copy, call (970) 498-1393 and reference RMRS-GTR-295.
The Rocky Mountain Research Station (RMRS) is one of seven regional units that make up the U.S. Forest Service Research and Development organization - the most extensive natural resources research organization in the world. The Station maintains 12 field laboratories throughout a 12 state territory encompassing the Great Basin, Southwest, Rocky Mountains, and parts of the Great Plains, and administers and conducts research on 14 experimental forests, ranges, and watersheds, while maintaining long-term databases for these areas. RMRS research is broken into seven science program areas that serve the Forest Service as well as other federal and state agencies, international organizations, private groups, and individuals.

MEMPHIS, TN (localmemphis.com) - Memphians are sounding off on last night's Beale Street violence.
They came for fireworks and fun, but instead, hundreds left downtown shaken and scared.
Two men randomly started firing gunshots into the crowd of revelers at Tom Lee Park around nine o'clock Thursday night. A 13-year-old was shot in the leg.
The brazen shootings have Memphians questioning what it is going to take to stop the violence. Witnesses say two young men were walking down the sidewalk when they pulled out guns and started firing.
Witnesses identified 18-year-old Tashun Jenkins as one of the guys who fired the shots.
A Memphis dad saw the whole thing with his family, including his six year old. He was too frightened to talk on camera, but told us the shootings looked random.
"Just families trying to have fun and somebody starts shooting," says Neal Brown, who lives next door to one of the accused shooters.
"That's just how life is in our neighborhood. Somebody tells them to do it. They talk them up to it. They'll do it because they want to fit in."
The shooting happened around 9 o'clock right before downtown's fireworks went off.
There were hundreds of people in Tom Lee Park. A 13-year-old boy was hit in the leg and taken to Le Bonheur Children's Hospital.
"While we were watching firecrackers, people just started running. They were going down there and running up the stairs trying to get away so they won't fight," says eight year old William Carver. He was at the park with his cousins. They saw the shooting's aftermath.
"A lot of running, ripping and screaming," says Tyrus Young.
The frightened kids ran too. "Because it was kind of heading over here a little bit," says Daylan Smith.
Jenkins is charged with aggravated assault. For some, that's not nearly enough considering the danger everyone was in.
"He could have killed somebody," Brown says.
The 13-year-old has been released from the hospital. Jenkins is due in court on Monday.

"A Risk Averse Society"
Robert A. Sturgell, Washington, D.C.
December 2, 2008
International Safety Forum
Good morning, and thank you, Nick [Sabatini].
Before we get too far into this conference, let's take a moment to pause with respect to the terrible tragedy that occurred last week in India. Our hearts go out to the family and friends who were affected by that senseless violence.
Now, to the matter at hand. This conference has become a watermark for international aviation. We've got well over 450 people in the audience from 37 countries. Everyone's here to advance aviation safety and everyone wants to walk away with something new. This is the place to do it.
If I were to start by telling you we're here today because the international aviation safety system is failing, we'd get some big headlines from our friends in the press. But you'd all look at me like I was crazy.
Because you know that's just not true. Aviation is safe. You know that because your experience proves it. The numbers prove it, and that statistically, any bar of soap in the bathtub is potentially far more lethal than a ride in an airplane.
Yet we fight this battle again and again and again. Here's the story we see any number of times during the year: "Aviation: How Safe Is It?"
The world loves a catchy headline, especially one that taps into fear. The fact of the matter is that white-knuckle fliers have a lot more to be worried about in their cars than they do while flying.
The sky is not falling. But the real question is: why do so many people allow themselves to be persuaded that it is? Bottom line: we've got to do a better job of communicating risk. Let's be clear — all human endeavor has risk — and people very well may have a right to be concerned about earthquakes, hurricanes, water, heights, the dark and monsters under the bed. And as far as aviation is concerned — operating at 30,000 feet above the ground is risky, and we do have safety issues that need to be addressed. No question about it. But the data tells us that the fear of aviation accidents does not match the facts. What I see instead is a society that has grown and continues to grow more and more averse to risk. Any risk and the consequence of that is that not only are low-risk issues depicted as a catastrophe in waiting, but also, we end up allocating resources to all risks, not just those that are high or not just those risks with high consequences.
While not discounting the remaining risks in aviation or the importance of perception, in the case of commercial aviation, the low level of risk is unprecedented. Consider that each system on a commercial airliner is designed for a failure rate of no worse than 10 to the minus 9 — one in a billion. Currently, the total experience for US commercial aviation, including operational issues as well as the airplane itself, is less than 10 to the minus 8. So the total is within a stone's throw of the required risk level for an individual system. A person boarding a commercial flight is basically at negligible risk.
So think about it. In the past two years, the U.S. air carrier system has moved more than 1.6 billion passengers and crew with just one on-board fatality, and that was on a cargo flight. Most of the countries here today have had similar or better experiences in recent years. For the U.S., that statistic of one on-board fatality among 1.6 billion people is considerably better than 10 to the minus 9.
The purpose of this conference is to further improve upon this global aviation safety record, to address various aspects of aviation, ranging from runway safety and oversight to data sharing and public confidence to learn from each other. That has to be looked at in three respects: where we are now, where are we going, and how we plan to get there.
Each of these aspects also needs to be examined through the lens of popular perception. People fear what they cannot control, which is why you're led to believe that flying at flight level three zero zero at mach point eight-two is somehow more dangerous than doing 75 on the Washington Beltway. For those of you from out of town, the Beltway is the highway circling Washington where cars at high speed and drivers making angry gestures converge. The Beltway's safety record is so tangled that local radio stations talk about it every 10 minutes and that happens 24 hours a day.
In fact the Beltway is instructive about perception versus real risk. The Beltway is part of our Interstate Highway System, or autoroute/motorway system. As in other countries, this is by far our safest road system. Some Americans choose to drive on long trips, mostly using the Interstate System, because they believe it is safer than flying because again they think they are in control. They are wrong on both counts, of course. On a 500-mile trip, the risk of fatal injury on the safest road system in the country is about 50 times greater than when traveling on a commercial airline, depending on exactly what period one chooses to compare.
As human beings, we don't like risks, especially when we can't control the situation. And we'll go to great lengths as a society to gain control or the semblance of control. For example, there's the suggestion that an aviation inspector should be kicking the tires of every airplane every day. Yet would anyone consider checking the oil and tire pressure and battery connections and any of the other systems of a car before they turn the key and drive off? Hardly.
The last man to set foot on the moon, Gene Cernan, made the comment here last year that if NASA had held itself to the same level of safety we find today in aviation, we'd still be using a telescope to examine the lunar surface.
But even with all that as background, we know that we must take each situation seriously. We can't afford to take it as a given that the fear we read about in the papers is irrational, and, as I said, in aviation, the fact is that risk is not zero and we do have remaining risks to address.
The problem results when an irrational fear begins to drive public policy. The resources that could or should be dedicated to high-risk, high priority programs instead are diverted to low priority, low-risk efforts.
If you take a look at where we've been in terms of fatalities per 100 million persons on-board, you can see that partnerships, technology, and focusing on the risks is the answer. In the U.S. in 1948, the number of fatalities per 100 million persons on board was near two thousand. Today, it is effectively zero. There was indeed a time in the early, early days of aviation where one in 10 pilots would crash. That's certainly not the case anymore.
But all of this gets back to a question I posed earlier. If all of this is true, why doesn't anyone believe it? Part of it reflects the lack of control. Part of it comes from the fact that we do have genuine issues being raised throughout the system that draw attention away from the larger picture. 25 serious runway incursions are 25 too many, but there were 57 million 999 thousand and 975 operations that went just as they were supposed to. So, it's a low risk event, statistically, but one with a very high consequence.
I'd like to leave you with a challenge. We must try to educate people to understand that the system is risk based and that our focus should be on the high risks and the high-consequence events. If we don't, it's going to get harder and harder to do the things we need to. We run the risk of working at things of lesser importance. I think that at the core of all this is partnership. In a system that's as complex as the one we're here to discuss, there must be familiarity and trust at all levels and across all entities, specifically industry and government. We know the "gotcha" approach drives safety issues underground … which is where they'll stay until the next accident.
Thanks to partnership, technology and procedures, we have successfully eliminated or reduced risk in many areas. We know, for example, that precision brings safety, and technology is often the key to precision. We see that with RNP/RNAV. But technology and new procedures notwithstanding, there are still remaining risks we still need to tackle. We're doing everything we can technology-wise on our runways, but it still comes down to the human element. When you're told to hold short, will you? In a society that expects no risk, we've got to make sure we're doing everything we can.
The fact is we do not have a risk-free system. But life is risky. You prepare, you drill, you equip, you train, you modify, make mistakes, learn from them, and correct things. And you share information, you eliminate known hazards, you flag potential weaknesses, you guard against them. Most importantly, you recognize that the antidote to fear generated by risk is trust.
You build trust through action, excellence, performance, professionalism, and predictability. In the case of aviation, build trust through partnerships, data sharing, effective oversight and focus on reducing risk.
We must address those who would undermine public trust to foster their own agenda. We have to reach out to those naysayers and convince them that the public trust is not a commodity to be trifled with. It is a precious right we need to earn every day by delivering safe, reliable service to those who use this system. That is a mission that deserves our full attention and commitment. As we continue to improve the global aviation safety record, we build not only trust but peace of mind. Thank you.

chimney mortar
i am building an alan scott oven and was wondering if i should use the fireclay mortar mix (10 - 3 - 1-1/2) or just type s mortar for building the chimney. any ideas on which would be the better choice?
Re: chimney mortar
I'd stick with the fireclay mix as the Portland cannot withstand the higher temperatures.
I know that it's a chimney that you are referring to, but they still get pretty hot.
Go the safe way rather than inviting problems to your build.

Marijuana farms poisoning carnivorous fishers in California, finds studymongabay.com
July 13, 2012
Researchers with the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS), the Integral Ecology Research Center, the University of California Davis, and other institutions conducted necropsies on 58 fishers in northwestern California and Central California. They found that 46 of the animals were exposed to one or more anticoagulant rodenticides which are used to attract and kill rodents. At least four of the fishers died directly from ingesting anticoagulant rodenticides, according to the study.
"Fishers are likely exposed to anticoagulant rodenticides when eating animals that have already ingested the rodentcide," stated a press release from WCS. "They may also be drawn to the poison directly by bacon, cheese and peanut butter "flavorizers" that manufacturers add to attract rodents."

The study's authors say it is unlikely the fishers were exposed to the pesticides used legally because these areas are no suitable habitat for the animals.
"Instead, the exposure points were likely encountered where AR is used illicitly as part of illegal marijuana cultivation in remote areas that overlap with fisher habitat," according to the WCS statement. "The study cites multiple examples of confiscation of marijuana plants and discovery of associated anticoagulant rodenticides use in the region."
Study co-author Sean Matthews of WCS explained that shrinking habitat has pushed fishers into forest areas in California's Sierras and coastal mountains, where illegal marijuana cultivation has been expanding. The result is fishers are increasingly exposed to chemicals used by marijuana growers.
"Fishers play a vital role in the forests of the Sierra Nevada Mountains and the Pacific Northwest," he said. "With a body the size of a house cat and the disposition of their larger cousin, the wolverine, fishers keep forest rodent populations in check and are one of the only predators with the tenacity to regularly prey on porcupines."
"The findings in this paper could signal a looming conservation threat for other species as well as fishers," he continued. "As we discuss in the study, depletion of rodent prey populations upon which fishers and other animals feed, along with the anticoagulant poisoning threat might affect the Sierra Nevada red fox, wolverine, California spotted owls and other rare carnivores that inhabit the region."

By STEVEN NALLEY
The Greater Starkville Development Partnership is weighing opportunities to bring a specialty food grocery store to Starkville.
Tripp Muldrow, a consultant with Arnett Muldrow and Associates, is working with GSDP on an overall recruitment campaign to address retail leakages, in which potential consumers travel to other cities to satisfy demand. Muldrow worked with the city on its spring 2011 charrette, and he said one of the leakages discovered during the charrette was specialty food.
"We are in the very early stages of exploring specialty food as a component of an overall retail recruitment campaign for Starkville," Muldrow said. "Currently, Starkville is a strong grocery store destination, and adding to that appeal could be a way to reinforce that role."
Jennifer Gregory, GSDP vice president for tourism development, said the store concept GSDP seeks may include healthful, largely organic groceries, but Muldrow said specialty foods are broader than that. Gregory said a major franchise such as Whole Foods is not necessarily feasible for Starkville.
"The need for something like that is there, but we don't have the demographics as far as population and median income to sustain a brand such as Whole Foods," Gregory said. "It's the same concept, but just (on) a smaller scale."
Muldrow said smaller specialty food franchises are also unlikely.
"Any store we look at would be a small format store, and we are not likely to be looking at a franchise as there are very few who fit this description," Muldrow said. "It is likely that this, along with other retail categories, will be recruited through a grassroots effort."
It is too early to place a timeline on recruiting a specialty food store, Muldrow said, and further details will be determined in a meeting with the GSDP next week.
At this meeting, Gregory said the GSDP plans to create an inventory of available property.
"That could change, but right now that's where we're focusing our attention," Gregory said. "We think that Russell Street would be an ideal location."
Gregory said the option to integrate the specialty food store into the Cotton Mills project is not currently on the table.
"We are still trusting that project will materialize," Gregory said, "but we think an addition to the retail mix on Russell Street would only complement and be complemented by what would materialize with the Cotton Mills project."
Gregory said she believes students, residents and visitors would offer strong support for a specialty food grocery store.
She said she believes the time is right and the market is ready for such a store in Starkville.
"I can't say exactly what I hope for, but we are ready to move," Gregory said. "We are ready to aggressively recruit retail that we think will complement our existing retail mix, and we feel like we have a good idea of what we're lacking."

Mass media is dead. Long live personal media. Basic elements of personalization strategy have the potential to save the newspaper industry, despite a trend that looks ugly. The transition won't be easy, but at least this approach offers some hope for the industry, for readers, and even for advertisers.
A printed newspaper is about as mass media as mass media gets. With a few minor exceptions, everyone gets the same newspaper and the same ads. With this history in mind, it's no surprise that most newspapers have brought a mass media approach to the web.
Sure, online newspapers experiment with social media by allowing comments and showing which stories are most popular or most often emailed. Other sites – not necessarily those run by major newspapers – allow readers to set up individualized news feeds. But few major newspapers understand and have adopted the basic thinking underlying personalization, which is:
personal = smarter
A personalized newspaper makes its readers smarter, and also never stops learning how to both serve each reader and profit from each reader. Let me give you a few examples of each.
Serving each reader
Intelligence means having something valuable to say and knowing what to say to each person. If you go up to everyone you meet and share your understanding of the way molecules behave, they won't think you are smart; they'll think you are crazy. But if you talk to a scientist about molecules and to a psychologist about human behavior, they will think you are smart.
In this same manner, the online version of The New York Times should make me smarter than the printed version does. When this is the case, I will gladly pay the same price to receive it in lieu of the printed version.
Today, the online version makes me dumber. It's harder to read, harder to browse, and takes advantage of few of the benefits that being digital allows.
For example, I'd like my online paper to offer me different reading modes, such as Cover to Cover (an easy way to start at page one and flip the pages in order); My Top Stories (the subjects and writers I care about most); Devil's Advocate (points of view that directly challenge the writers and stories I normally read); Off the Wall (anything but the stories I normally read, or their opposites… this mode would provide me with the equivalent of taking a vacation or visiting a different culture).
Modes serve an important purpose, because they offer a predictable way to offer a reader a change of pace. Think of a car that lets the driver switch back and forth between automatic and manual transmission modes. Although you get to decide which you prefer today, each mode operates consistently each time you choose it.
A common argument against "personalized news" is that readers will screen out the stories that challenge their thinking, and thus we all become increasingly narrow-minded and set in our ways. For example, Nicholas Kristof recently wrote, "That's because there's pretty good evidence that we generally don't truly want good information — but rather information that confirms our prejudices."
But with modes like these, readers would have a much greater chance of encountering information that challenges their thinking and engages their imagination. A great teacher learns about the students in his classroom, and figures out how to spark the imagination of even the most reticent student. A greater digital newspaper should attempt no less.
Profiting from each reader
According to recent stories, many newspapers make about one-tenth of the ad revenues online as offline. One reason for this is that newspapers have yet to demonstrate that all readers are not worth the same.
Eric Schmidt, CEO of Google, last year told columnist Maureen Dowd that his firm is talking to newspapers about an ad model that "understands your history and your interests.
"They'd know enough about your demographic to know male, female, age group, what have you. The whole secret here is the ads are worth more if they're more targeted, more personal, more precise."
The New York Times, for example has many influential readers including CEOs of Fortune 1000 firms, elected officials, performing artists and noted physicians. The Times should not be charging advertisers as much to reach these people as it does to reach my neighbor Fred, who mainly complains about the weather and watches TV.
If the Times influences a CEO to consider hiring a major consulting firm, it ought to get paid $10,000 or perhaps more for that lead. Online, such a lead can be recorded and quantified, if the incentive is right for all parties. Offline, doing so is near impossible.
Likewise, the notion of advertising may be misguided when it comes to high value readers. A powerful incentive for being identified as a high value reader might be the elimination of normal advertising and the addition of highly focused, value added messages. Said another way, high value readers ought to be delivered win/win propositions instead of BUY ME, BUY ME in-your-face advertising.
Personalization versus faux personalization
Some years back, I was involved in a study that measured the financial payback to firms that had launched major "customer-focused" initiatives. By a large margin, the number one indicator of whether an initiative was profitable for the company was whether the initiative delivered tangible benefits to customers. This is notable on two levels. The first is that most "customer-focused" programs we studied did not deliver tangible benefits to customers; instead, they simply served as a way to market more aggressively. The second is that actually helping customers is a profitable tactic.
Most so-called personalization efforts don't offer tangible benefits to customers. Instead, they are just a scheme to promote products and services. But if you can actually make me smarter, well, that would be a real benefit to me.
Digital delivery offer numerous opportunities to make readers smarter. It could enable readers to annotate stories (i.e. write notes in the margins), store stories in a file (not merely bookmark them), and easily create presentations to share with others (whether that means your team at work or your son at home.)
Some major papers won't be able to make any major transition, and will fail. But survival is a powerful instinct, and it has a tendency to open minds. Some will change their culture, embrace personalization, and eventually thrive again. In that spirit, I offer a few observations.
Before I got personalization down to two words (personal = smarter), I got it down to eight: remember information for customers, not just about them
The more a newspaper remembers information for each reader, the smarter it will make that reader and the more value it will add.
Digital delivery is not a mass market business, and for the newspapers who come to understand this, their financial crisis will start to fade away.

Routledge – 2007 – 480 pages
This is the first and only reference volume covering the subject of windows in depth - no other book offers this wealth of practical detail. It is highly accessible, written for both the professional and interested layperson Written by a team of 15 experts - surveyors, structural engineers, craftsmen and conservators describing their own approaches to specific materials, problems and designs. It includes over 400 illustrations in colour and black and white, from a wide range of sources, including historic drawings, paintings, pattern books, textbooks, manufacturers' catalogues and contemporary and archive photographs. It is an invaluable asset for everyone involved with windows on a daily basis, combining the knowledge of leading historians and experts in the field of window conservation. The window is a familiar yet surprisingly complex feature, with a rich history that has not, up until now, been explored in any great depth. This encyclopaedic work is both a fascinating exploration of the history and development of the window, and a practical hands-on guide to their care and preservation. Part 1 covers the history of the window including the development in glass technology. It also provides an illustrated glossary of window types. Part 2 reviews the changes in policy and legislation and discusses structural issues, decay mechanisms and the current stringent performance standards and how they affect historic windows. Part 3 focuses on the materials used in the construction of windows and the craft of leaded glazing. It details the appropriate techniques for repair and conservation. Windows is fully illustrated in both colour and mono to include over 400 high quality illustrations.

Discovery Park
Planning: Through April 2010
Design: Spring 2010 - Spring 2011
Construction: Summer 2011
Completion: Winter 2011
This project will provide habitat restoration to approximately 24 acres of land.
Demolition of the existing housing units by the Navy has been completed and the property has been turned over to Seattle Parks for restoration efforts.
The general approach will be to create local habitat that is typical of Discovery Park, and in particular since the City began habitat restoration of the first portions of Fort Lawton back in the 70's. Included will be a variety of meadows, forest thickets, and typical under story vegetation.
This project was recommended by the West Point Citizens Advisory Committee as part of the 2005 revision to the list of projects recommended in the 2004 Memorandum of Agreement, between King County Department of Natural Resources and Parks and the City of Seattle Department of Parks and Recreation, for use of mitigation funds pursuant to Section 1(d) of the West Point Settlement Agreement (Ordinance 121488).

THE dream of regenerating damaged nerves so that people paralysed by spinal injuries can walk again has come a step closer.
Many factors conspire to prevent nerves regrowing after injury, including thick scar tissue that forms around the damaged area, preventing new nerve tissue from pushing through. "It's like being in the jungleyou need a machete to make way," says neuroscientist Lars Olson of the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm.
Now Elizabeth Bradbury of King's College London and her colleagues have found such a machetean enzyme from bacteria that can make severed nerves regrow in rats.
The researchers first crushed the rats' spinal cords, leaving them unable to walk normally or navigate a grid of beams. They then treated the damaged nerves with a bacterial enzyme called chondroitinase ABC, which was known to encourage nerve growth in cultures of scarred brain tissue. The enzyme breaks down molecules in the scar tissue ...

Green Day is jumping on the Angry Birds bandwagon. Rovio today announced that it would be featuring the Grammy-winning punk-pop band in a new edition of the Facebook game Angry Birds Friends.
The Green Day episode of Angry Birds Friends will feature 10 levels loaded with nods to the band, from amplifiers and guitars to re-creations of the cover art from the band's album American Idiot. Rovio is even inserting band members Billie Joe Armstrong, Mike Dirnt, and Tre Cool in the game as new porcine adversaries.
This isn't Green Day's first excursion into the world of games. In 2010, Harmonix released Green Day: Rock Band, which featured 47 of the Bay Area outfit's tracks, as well as a handful of downloadable songs.

By Kathryn G. Menu
When North Haven resident Robert Arcs checked on his 27 foot, Albin sloop sailboat Capt. America around 2 p.m. on October 29, the affect of Hurricane Sandy on the East End was reaching its peak, with little rain, but strong wind gusts and coastal flooding hammering the region.
Capt. America, moored just inside the breakwater in Sag Harbor Bay, was "being tossed around like a cork," said Arcs, but was holding her own. However, watching his ship get tossed around left Arcs unsure about her ability to weather the storm.
But she did, and with a story so fantastical even Arcs is blown away.
Capt. America not only came through the storm, she even sailed her way home to North Haven, unmanned. After breaking loose from the mooring near the breakwater, the boat sailed across Sag Harbor Bay, over a flooded barrier beach and into Great Pond Creek before crashing into Arcs own dock on South Harbor Drive in North Haven.
"It actually drifted to the safest spot near Sag Harbor — that sheltered creek — you couldn't have found a safer place for a boat," said Arcs in an interview on Wednesday.
Arcs said he had joked to his tenant prior to the boat's unmanned journey that he was considering sailing her to his dock after seeing the barrier beach had been overcome in the storm surge. He had no way of knowing Capt. America would soon make the journey on her own. A few hours later, while watching the Capt. America ply her way towards Arcs' dock, his tenant thought maybe Arc wasn't joking after all.
Capt. America was barely damaged during her travels, expect for a mark on the keel of the vessel, which occurred when it travelled over the breakwater. When Arcs explored the vessel days after the storm the interior of the boat was dry, and the engine started up immediately.
The boat ended up in wetlands, about five to six feet away from neighboring residences, after breaking Arcs' dock apart. Arc said he expects to have it removed today or tomorrow — the delay due to the nor'easter that moved across the region last Wednesday.
Arcs said the boat should have been removed from the mooring, in retrospect.
"This was just a tremendous storm," said Arcs. "And this is one hell of a ship. I told my wife in the next storm, she might be the safest place to be."
Arcs said ultimately he feels fortunate, as do many in this area, especially after seeing the homes and lives lost due to Hurricane Sandy in places like Fire Island, the Rockaways, Breezy Point, Long Beach and coastal communities in New Jersey.
"I think especially out here, it is hard to feel immune from something really terrible happening and the reality is even with the damage we saw here, we have been very, very fortunate," said Arcs.
"My boat decided to go home, it went to the safest place it could get to," said Arcs. "Historically, this was a village that had more boats in it than New York Harbor. "
"I think this is truly a safe haven."

Uptown Campus Begins Construction on ER to Open in November, Adds More Medical Services
NEW ORLEANS - Ochsner Baptist Medical Center announced today its plans to open a full-service Emergency Room on its Campus at 2700 Napoleon Avenue in Uptown New Orleans. Emergency services have not been available on the Baptist campus since Katrina. The ER is slated to open in the Winter 2008 in keeping with Ochsner's two-year, phased plan to revitalize the campus. (Artist renderings and tours are available for media by appointment.)
"We're about half way through construction, and upon completion, the ER will have 12 beds within approximately 6,000 square feet, and will include state-of-the-art electronic computerized patient tracking to ensure that staff are always aware of patient waiting times, service delays, test results and all patient care activities," says Robert Wolterman, Chief Executive Officer at Baptist. "Cat Scan and all other radiologic imaging will also be available."
"The ER renovation will cost an estimated $ 4 million and we expect to see about 15,000 - 20,000 patient visits in the first year, which translates to about 40-50 visits per day," says Dr. Joe Guarisco, Ochsner Systems Chief of Emergency Services. "We believe these services will help fill a significant need for emergency care in New Orleans. Since Katrina, local emergency rooms have been plagued with frequent overcrowding."
Bringing emergency care back to Baptist will have several benefits for local residents. Guarisco explains, "By adding another full-service ER to the area, patients and ambulances won't have to travel as far for emergency care. The Baptist ER will ease wait times and enable patients to get immediate attention."
"We're proud that in such a short time we've gone from a small surgical institution to a full-service facility with state-of-the-art equipment and the ability to handle almost any critical case," says Wolterman. The campus currently has 25 medical/surgical beds and an Intensive Care Unit. By the end of this year, Baptist also plans to add 30 more in-patient beds to its Clara Wing bringing the total to 55 beds, all of which will be private rooms.
Additional services at Baptist include an Urgent Care Clinic, an Outpatient Imaging Center, a Laser Vision Center, six operating rooms, two cardiac catheterization suites and endoscopy suites, and over 300 community physicians on staff. "OBMC is capable of handling virtually all medical and surgical cases with the exception of trauma, open-heart surgery and neurological cases," explains Wolterman.
In November 2007, Baptist opened an on-campus, state-of-the art Imaging Center offering the latest in imaging technologies, including a 64-slice CT machine, MRI, Ultrasound, Radiography, Fluoroscopy, Nuclear Medicine and Echo Cardiology testing. The Imaging Center also features a Picture Archive and Communication System (PACS) which enables physicians to view patient images in their offices and throughout the hospital, including inside operating rooms. "Having an imaging center on-site is a great advantage to patients and physicians, particularly in an emergency situation when an X-ray, ultrasound, or MRI could be crucial to providing proper care and diagnoses," explains Dr. Guarisco.
The Uptown, Downtown, New Orleans East, Gentilly, Chalmette, Mid City and Lakeview/Lakefront neighborhoods are expected to utilize the Baptist ER as these areas continue to rebuild. Wolterman promises, "As volumes increase and the demand for care grows, we'll continue to add in-patient beds and additional services." The facility is currently in negotiations to develop a Senior Living Center on its Main Campus.
In October 2006, Ochsner promised the region that "Baptist was back!" and we're making good on that promise and our plan, says Dr. Patrick Quinlan, M.D. Chief Executive Officer of Ochsner Health System. "The Baptist facility holds over 70 years of outstanding care for thousands of New Orleanians, and we want our community to know we're here to stay and committed to rebuilding our healthcare system," says Quinlan.
Since its purchase in October 2006, Ochsner has invested a total of over $30 million in revitalizing the Baptist campus. "This facility has deep roots in the New Orleans community and we're committed to making this facility a thriving resource for the city's future," says Wolterman.
Ochsner Health System (www.ochsner.org) is a non-profit, academic, multi-specialty, healthcare delivery system dedicated to patient care, research and education. The system includes seven hospitals and over 35 health centers located throughout Southeast Louisiana. Ochsner employs over 600 physicians in 80 medical specialties and subspecialties and over 300 clinical research trials annually. Ochsner was ranked one of the "Best Places to Work" by New Orleans CityBusiness in 2005, 2006 and 2007 and received the Consumer Choice for Healthcare in New Orleans for 12 consecutive years. Ochsner was ranked as "Best" Hospital by U.S. News and World Report in July 2007. Ochsner has over 10,000 employees system-wide.

The all-new sixth-generation and completely revamped Chevrolet Camaro will be unveiled in 2016 sometime moving from GM's current Zeta platform to the brandl new Alpha platform. The new Camaro body will likely be way lighter, smaller and more aerodynamic. According to the source, driving it will be even more of a blast.
However, much like the future of the Mustang and the turbocharged EcoBoost Ford is pushing, the Camaro may be going jumping on that turbo bandwagon. Under the hood of the new Camaro could sport a 2.0-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder. Don't get your panties in a wad just yet, since this small four banger may be packin' quite a punch. And besides that, the option for your traditional V8 or V6 should be there with all of your performance needs and likely pushing 300+ hp. No information has been released just yet on the bigger engines but stay tuned.
We are highly anticipating what the new Camaro will bring and what it will look like. Change is inevitable and many people fear it. No matter the design, there will be the people who love it and those who hate it. Bring it GM!

Houston detectives investigating death of 2-year-old
By Mike Glenn | January 10, 2013 | Updated: January 10, 2013 7:49pm
Homicide detectives are investigating the death of a young child in north Houston.
About 1:30 p.m. Thursday, Houston firefighters were called to investigate reports that a 2-year-old had suffered a possible cardiac arrest at an apartment in the 16000 block of City View Place, Houston police officials said.
The child was taken to Northwest Medical Center and was pronounced dead, officials said.
The firefighters were concerned about the situation and called for police to come to the scene, officials said.
No further information is currently available.

Phillipa Gregory, whose historical novels such as The White Queen and The Red Queen are critically acclaimed, pulled out after she refused to bow to the demands of the organisers over the content of a talk she had planned for today.
Loading article content
The African-born writer told them that she wanted to discuss a book, Gandhi's Interpreter, by her former Edinburgh University tutor, Professor Geoffrey Carnall, who would also have appeared at the Scottish Power Studio Theatre.
However, organisers were keen for her to stick to the published programme listing, which stated she would discuss her extensive knowledge of the Wars of the Roses.
Gregory, 56, who has now paid to stage the event at another city venue outwith the festival, questioned why so many of the two-week event's leading names had pulled out, with the likes of White Teeth author Zadie Smith, Fawlty Towers actor Andrew Sachs and the novelist Hilary Mantel among the cancellations.
She said: ""I told them I wasn't prepared to do this talk at all but that I was prepared to pay to change the listing, which was refused. So I pulled out. In any case, they got the name of my current novel wrong. The book I am publicising is The Red Queen, not The White Queen which appeared in the programme.
"I have worked with many major festivals and have always been able to use the material I wanted to use and I had prepared.
"It seems a lot of events have been affected by cancellations and you have to wonder why."
A festival spokesman said that only 11 events were cancelled before this year's opening, but 22 events are now listed as having been hit, a figure higher than last year.
Gregory's agent Zahra Moussavi said: "Phillippa had been looking forward to going to Edinburgh. It was where she studied, her event involved Edinburgh University and a modern connection to literature. This could have been easily fixed. It is very disappointing."
Smith's agent Donald Winchester said the author cancelled a talk on August 17 because of a late change to her work schedule.
Sachs was said to have been disappointed he was unable to attend for personal reasons.
Tom Bingham, Don McCullin, Norman Stone, John Julius Norwich and Joan Lindgard also pulled out.
A spokesman for the Edinburgh Book Festival said: "We developed the event based on the information we had been given.
"Once the book festival brochure had gone to print, we were made aware that Ms Gregory wished to come to the festival with a different style of event, and a different book.
"Unfortunately, given that we print and distribute 125,000 brochures it was not practical to make the change.
"Ms Gregory then decided to cancel her event."
He said changes to the published programme were inevitable because the event has more than 750 events and these often involved topical subjects, including politics.
"We were delighted this year to be able to add three very special last-minute events -- AS Byatt made her first appearance in Edinburgh last week, Peter Mandelson will be appearing in his first public event on Sunday night and we have just confirmed a tribute event to Scotland's First National Poet, Edwin Morgan, on Monday night," added the spokesman.
Gregory and Professor Carnall will give the talk she had planned at St George's West Church in Shandwick Place on September 14.
