Barriers are used to hold prosthetic components, including intradiscal devices, in position while allowing natural movement within a "safe zone." In the preferred embodiments, the barrier is in the form of a "buttress" plate coupled to a controlled linkage that prevents the device from moving into a dangerous position. The movable member(s) allow an intradiscal device to move through a safe zone while permitting mobile artificial disc replacements (ADRs) or other intradiscal devices to self-center with movement of the vertebrae. The link member(s) broadly serve as a "tether" to prevent extrusion of the intradiscal device into the spinal canal, or outside of the disc space. The intradiscal device may be mobile, or attached to one or both of the vertebral endplates. Other mechanisms to accommodate the movable link members are also disclosed. The plates are preferably constructed of metal, but the invention is not limited in terms of the biocompatible material(s) used for the plate or link members.

This application claims priority from U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 60/376,505, filed Apr. 30, 2002, the entire content of which is incorporated herein by reference.
This invention relates generally to artificial intervertebral disc replacement and repair and, in particular, to apparatus for maintaining intradiscal devices in position, while allowing movement of the vertebrae and the intradiscal device independent of one another
Seven cervical (neck), 12 thoracic, and 5 lumbar (low back) vertebrae form the normal human spine. Intervertebral discs reside between adjacent vertebra with two exceptions. First, the articulation between the first two cervical vertebrae does not contain a disc. Second, a disc lies between the last lumbar vertebra and the sacrum (a portion of the pelvis).
The spine supports the body, and protects the spinal cord and nerves. The vertebrae of the spine are also supported by ligaments, tendons, and muscles which allow movement (flexion, extension, lateral bending, and rotation). Motion between vertebrae occurs through the disc and two facet joints. The disc lies in the front or anterior portion of the spine. The facet joints lie laterally on either side of the posterior portion of the spine.
The human intervertebral disc is an oval to kidney bean shaped structure of variable size depending on the location in the spine. The outer portion of the disc is known as the annulus fibrosis. The annulus is formed of 10 to 60 fibrous bands. The fibers in the bands alternate their direction of orientation by 30 degrees between each band. The orientation serves to control vertebral motion (one half of the bands tighten to check motion when the vertebra above or below the disc are turned in either direction).
The annulus contains the nucleus pulpous, which serves to transmit and dampen axial loads. A high water content (70-80 percent) assists the nucleus in this function. The water content has a diurnal variation. The nucleus imbibes water while a person lies recumbent. Activity squeezes fluid from the disc. Nuclear material removed from the body and placed into water will imbibe water swelling to several times its normal size. The nucleus comprises roughly 50 percent of the entire disc. The nucleus contains cells (chondrocytes and fibrocytes) and proteoglycans (chondroitin sulfate and keratin sulfate). The cell density in the nucleus is on the order of 4,000 cells per micro liter.
Interestingly, the adult disc is the largest avascular structure in the human body. Given the lack of vascularity, the nucleus is not exposed to the body's immune system. Most cells in the nucleus obtain their nutrition and fluid exchange through diffusion from small blood vessels in adjacent vertebra.
The disc changes with aging. As a person ages, the water content of the disc falls from approximately 85 percent at birth to 70 percent in the elderly. The ratio of chondroitin sulfate to keratin sulfate decreases with age. The ratio of chondroitin 6 sulfate to chondroitin 4 sulfate increases with age. The distinction between the annulus and the nucleus decreases with age. These changes are known as disc degeneration. Generally disc degeneration is painless.
Nevertheless, 85 percent of the population will experience low back pain at some point. Fortunately, the majority of people recover from their back pain with a combination of benign neglect, rest, exercise, medication, physical therapy, or chiropractic care. A small percent of the population will suffer chronic low back pain. The cost of treatment of patients with spinal disorders plus the patient's lost productivity is estimated at 25 to 100 billion dollars annually.
Premature or accelerated disc degeneration is known as degenerative disc disease. A large portion of patients suffering from chronic low back pain are thought to have this condition. As the disc degenerates, the nucleus and annulus functions are compromised. The nucleus becomes thinner and less able to handle compression loads. The annulus fibers become redundant as the nucleus shrinks. The redundant annular fibers are less effective in controlling vertebral motion. The disc pathology can result in: 1) bulging of the annulus into the spinal cord or nerves; 2) narrowing of the space between the vertebra where the nerves exit; 3) tears of the annulus as abnormal loads are transmitted to the annulus and the annulus is subjected to excessive motion between vertebra; and 4) disc herniation or extrusion of the nucleus through complete annular tears.
Current surgical treatments of disc degeneration are destructive. One group of procedures removes the nucleus or a portion of the nucleus; lumbar discectomy falls in this category. A second group of procedures destroy nuclear material; Chymopapin (an enzyme) injection, laser discectomy, and thermal therapy (heat treatment to denature proteins) fall in this category. A third group, spinal fusion procedures either remove the disc or the disc's function by connecting two or more vertebra together with bone. These destructive procedures lead to acceleration of disc degeneration. The first two groups of procedures compromise the treated disc. Fusion procedures transmit additional stress to the adjacent discs. The additional stress results in premature disc degeneration of the adjacent discs.
Prosthetic disc replacement offers many advantages. The prosthetic disc attempts to eliminate a patient's pain while preserving the disc's function. Current prosthetic disc implants, however, either replace the nucleus or the nucleus and the annulus. Both types of current procedures remove the degenerated disc component to allow room for the prosthetic component. Although the use of resilient materials has been proposed, the need remains for further improvements in the way in which prosthetic components are incorporated into the disc space, and in materials to ensure strength and longevity. Such improvements are necessary, since the prosthesis may be subjected to 100,000,000 compression cycles over the life of the implant.
Migration of intradiscal devices, for example, can lead to can lead to serious injury to the tissue surrounding the disc. In particular, migration of intradiscal devices can cause injury to the spinal cord, esophagus, nerves, or the great vessels. Migration of intradiscal devices can also necessitate additional surgery to remove or replace the device.
Broadly according to this invention, barriers are used to hold intradiscal devices in position while allowing movement of the vertebrae and the intradiscal device independent of one another. In the preferred embodiments, the barrier is in the form of a "buttress" plate coupled to a controlled linkage that prevents the intradiscal device from moving into a dangerous position. That is, the movable member(s) allow the intradiscal device to move through a "safe zone," while permitting mobile artificial disc replacements (ADRs) or other intradiscal devices to self-center with movement of the vertebrae.
The link member(s) broadly serve as a "tether" to prevent extrusion of the intradiscal device into the spinal canal, or outside of the disc space. The intradiscal device may be mobile, or attached to one or both of the vertebral endplates. Other mechanisms to accommodate the movable link members are also disclosed. The plates are preferably constructed of metal, but the invention is not limited in terms of the biocompatible material(s) used for the plate or link members.
Although single tethers are described with reference to the drawings, multiple tethers may be used in all embodiments. For example, opposing lateral arrangements or anterior-posterior configurations may be used.
Reference is now made to the drawings, wherein
While, in the preferred embodiment, the link member is at least partially rigid, flexible link members may also be used.

Author Bio
A pioneering force in the comic strip industry, Schulz turned his lifelong appreciation of comics and his sensitive, somewhat brooding personality into the highly successful "Peanuts" franchise. Nicknamed "Sparky" after a popular comic strip character, the shy young cartoonist continually doodled during class, receiving encouragement from numerous teachers. After high school, he completed a drawing correspondence course, earning only average marks. He was drafted into World War II service shortly thereafter, where he continued to draw--even decorating soldiers' letters home. After leaving the military, he juggled two jobs, lettering pre-drawn comics and teaching at his alma mater, Art Instruction Schools. Initially selling single-panel cartoons to The Saturday Evening Post in 1948, Schulz sold the "L'il Folks" comic to the St. Paul Pioneer Press in 1950, changing the single-panel format to the now common multi-panel comic strip. For competitive reasons, the United Features Syndicate renamed the strip Peanuts," a name Schulz never liked. The newly syndicated comic strip was an immediate success, running eventually in 2000 newspapers worldwide. Schulz has been credited with transforming the cartooning field with his successful books, TV specials, and merchandising deals. Schulz's most prized award throughout his career was the National Cartoonists' Society's Reuben Award for outstanding cartoonist of the year, which he won in 1955 and in 1964. Critical of comic strips with political agendas, Schulz only used "Peanuts" as a political forum once--to protest the proliferation of sexual harassment claims. Otherwise, he steered clear of hot topics, focusing instead on the active imaginations of his dreamy, unfulfilled characters--many situations culled from his real life. Early in his career, Schulz fell in love with a redheaded accountant, Donna Johnson, who turned down his marriage proposal. Rejected, he married shortly thereafter, a relationship that lasted 21 years. Although his second and final marriage was reportedly a happy one, he apparently never forgot the sting of Donna's rejection, eventually immortalizing her in the "Peanuts" comic strip as the unattainable object of Charlie Brown's desire-- the Little Red-haired Girl. Described by close friends as an insecure, sensitive man, he suffered from numerous depressions and anxiety attacks. After receiving a diagnosis of colon cancer, he announced his retirement from the producing the comic strip, claiming that no other artist should determine the "Peanuts" legacy. He died just hours before the last Sunday edition of the "Peanuts" strip ran--the final strip of a 50-year cartooning career.Lemony Snicket is the notorious pen name of Daniel Handler, author of the enormously popular, extremely funny Series of Unfortunate Events books. Handler went to Wesleyan University, and resides in the city of his birth, San Francisco. Under his name, he has written adult novels, including THE BASIC EIGHT, WATCH YOUR MOUTH, and ADVERBS.

Turkish music is very old music with long tradition and culture. There are lots of influences on the Turkish music, so most of them come from the Muslim people, who are also living into the Turkish. Turkish is country into the Europe, so lots of influences also come from European country. On the other side, it should be mention that music styles has been changed during the time, especially if it take in considering that Turkish people had lots of wars, during the history. So, with the invasion of the Asian, people, this music also got some elements of the Asian music.
Still, Turkish music is old and traditional music, but also this music contains elements of the modern music. The most important role into the life of the Turkish people, for sure that plays tradition and folk music. It could be said that Turkish music is folk music, with lots of elements taken from tradition music. Also, there are and other genres of the Turkish music, such as pop, rock, jazz, classical and other.
The most important names into the Turkish music are> Sezen Aksu, Ajda Pekkan, Abaci, Erol Evgin, Muazzes Ersoy, Seda Sayan, Zerrin Ozer, Ozcan Deniz, Muzeyyen Senar and Deniz Seki. Today one of the most famous singer into the Turkish music is Tarkan with his songs, he is very popular, not only in the Turkish, but also and other countries into the Europe.
There are and other bands and solo singers who are very popular into Turkish and worldwide. The elements of the modern music are mixed with the folk and traditional music, which gives very melodic and exotic rhythms, making you for dancing. Mostly, the music of the Turkish is full of dynamic, fast and rare slow. There are lots of elements from folk music, mixed with modern instruments, but also and contrary traditional instruments with the modern melody.
There are various folk dances into the Turkish music, so most interesting for major people is dance of the dancer, who are females. They are dancing with moving the body, shacking over and over. This dance is followed with traditional music, but also and traditional instruments. Very important role in this dance have also and drums, various models of them.
Today, Turkish music took lots of elements from the music of other countries, especially from the west countries, but also and these countries, takes elements of Turkish traditional music, especially folk music, for creating new melodies and songs.

Publisher's Description
You will be inspired by these ten amazing stories-seekers who walked different paths in life, yet shared one common passion-LOVE FOR THE TRUTH. They all desired lasting answers. They all knew that religion alone could never satisfy their spiritual thirst. They longed for supernatural revelation-transformation-ultimate reality.
Co-authors Sid Roth and Mike Shreve were both extreme seekers. Sid practiced psychic mind control. Mike ran a Kundalini Yoga ashram. Then they both had amazing encounters with God that changed everything. Their spiritual journeys are featured in this book, along with eight others:
- Robin Harfouche - a rising star in Hollywood who experienced the dark side of the psychic realm, then received a miracle healing from God
- Stanley Petrowski- a student of the world's mystery religions who met God on a trek through the Himalayan Mountains
- Michael Graham - a prominent follower of Swami Muktananda and teacher of the Avatar© Course who finally experienced true enlightenment
- Laurette Willis - a Hatha Yoga teacher who was quite startled when God asked her a 'dangerous question'
- Rafi Cohen - an advanced disciple of Sai Baba who received an astonishing revelation
- Vail Carruth - a teacher of Transcendental Meditation who learned the power of the Name of the Lord
- Jean LaCour - a political activist who turned to yoga and Rosicrucianism before finding "the Way"
- John Alper - a follower of Yogananda who discovered the fountain of infinite life
Not only did they seek the truth - THEY FOUND IT!

I was heading out of town last week for two long business travel days when a bookseller friend handed me an advance reading copy of Rocket Boys and said, "Read this and tell me what you think."
I was so moved by the book, I could not put it down. It is a classic coming-of-age tale. A sweet, poignant, inspirational tale that is good on so many, many levels. Don't get me wrong: this is no gooey memoir. It is a gritty, obviously honest and emotional story with complex characters. It is at times gripping, sad and outrageously funny. It is one of those rare books that can be read by parents and their high school-aged children with deep relevance - and inspiration - for both.
And while I could go on and on about the many facets of the book I enjoyed, I found myself most impressed by the author's ability to engage me in a story in which high school math and science play pivotal roles. While Sonny is no math genius like, say, Will Hunting, he is passionate about his quest for the mathematical knowledge that will help him break free of his coal mining hometown's gravitational pull.
This book will be required reading one day in high schools everywhere. Not only for its literary quality, but for the way in which it will surely inspire future generations of Sonny Hickams to realize winning can be found other places than on the football field; that even if your background and family seems to be overbearing burdens, you can still aim high...and soar.
Through reading this book, I have learned that hard work and determination will allow a person to reach his or her goals in life. In this book, Homer Hickam had many obstacles to overcome in order to reach his goal of becoming a rocket scientist. This book has taught me that if I have a dream, I must try to reach it. No matter how many and how hard the obstacles are that come in the way of dreams, a person must keep trying. I would also recommend seeing the movie that was based on this book, October Sky. October Sky is an accurate presentation of the story. If you have already seen the movie, you are sure to enjoy this book.
But his life is also a model for our time. Homer Hickam is a very special person and he has told the story of his life in this book. Mr. Hickam grew up modestly in a coal mining town. His love of rocketry, no his passion for rocketry pulls him out of an average community and propels him to success inspite of his family and surroundings.
Few books appeal to adults and young adults alike. This is one. I want my wife to read it as well as my 13 year old son. Hickam is a mentor and I've never even met him. This is such down to earth honest writing it makes you smile.
Read this wonderful story and you will have a hard time approaching your next mystery or drama. It is refeshing. I don't even want to see the movie after reading this book. I want the images I have to last not the ones Hollywood created.

Teething is the growth of teeth through the gums in the mouth of infants and young children.
Teething usually begins when a baby is between 6 and 8 months old. All 20 baby teeth should be in place by the time a child is 30 months old. Some children do not show any teeth until much later than 8 months, but this is usually normal.
The signs of teething are:
Teething does NOT cause fever or diarrhea. If your child develops a fever or diarrhea and you are worried about it, talk to your health care provider.

Born at 32 weeks???

(oYo) Silver Boobies LO weaned herself at 7 months
one of my friends had a 32 weeker also, her girl was around 4.5 lbs and was at nicu for about 2 weeks, now is 3 months nd a healthy baby girl
Depends on circumstances really...if you're concerned call your dr. I have been feeling "different" the past coupla days too but I think it's just cuz LO is dropping.
CharK08� Wife to Jason 12/20/08, mommy to one angel (Josiah: stillborn 10/9/09), Elias arrived 06/13/2011 and is healthy as can be!
I feel different too but I'm sure it's just transitioning into the final part of the pregnancy. Don't assume your LO is on the way out. If you're having contractions, call your OB on cal.
My dad's a neonatologist and said most 32 weekers do fine, 6 weeks or so in the NICU, but of course it's better too cook 'em during those six weeks :)

my SIL had her twin girls this past November at 32 wks 5 days and they are now beautiful 5 months old reaching all the milestones of non preemies their age. One was 4 pounds, and the other was just under 5 pounds. They did spend about 3 weeks in the nicu, but they were home with their Mom & Dad before Xmas :)
my 29 weeker is doing great right now, you might spend some time in the nicu, but pending any complications the baby should be good.

My cousin had her daughter at 32 weeks almost four years ago. You wouldn't even know looking at her now. She's just as healthy, smart and strong as her cousin who was born full term 2 weeks before her.

Welcome from Big Sky Country. Good choice for the activities you mention.
I am partial to Smith myself. Owning both a Taurus M44 and 3 Smith 629 I can tell you the Smith is a cut above. My Taurus fell apart once and had to be sent back. Got it back in less than a month and it seems fine.

An ode to the girls he has loved and leftMore on Joey Bada$$
Kicking back on a bed of boom-bap and classy saxophone comes Joey Bada$$'s latest cut, an ode to the girls he has loved and left. It is still weird to hear the deep-voiced teenager hark back to an era last in vogue when he was wearing nappies, but this is confident and assured.

Douglas Wilson runs an extreme-right religious empire based out of St. Andrews College in Moscow, Idaho. Popular in neo-Confederate circles as well, Wilson has co-authored a partly plagiarized booklet defending Old South slavery as a "life of plenty" with Steve Wilkins, a founding member of the neo-secessionist and racist League of the South. A serious hardliner, Wilson recently told reporters at Christianity Today that he's in favor of the "exile [of] some homosexuals, depending on the circumstances and the age of the victim. There are circumstances where I'd be in favor of execution for adultery."
Wilson's now found a new friend in Chuck Colson, recipient of the 2008 Presidential Citizens Medal and a revered Christian Right leader for decades, dating back to 1975 when he founded the Prison Fellowship ministry after serving time for obstruction of justice after being caught up in the Watergate scandal. Later this month in Atlanta, Colson will be the featured speaker at Wilson's annual conference of classical Christian educators and homeschoolers, known as the Association of Classical and Christian Schools. It's a leap off the deep end for Colson, or as the Americans United for Separation of Church and State put it, "So let's get this straight: Colson is happily speaking at a conference whose founder and guiding light celebrates theocracy, defends slavery as biblical and expresses regret that the Confederacy lost the Civil War."
Over the past three years however, Colson has given speeches that suggest a move from conservative evangelical Christianity into the far ends of Christian dominionism, a belief that America, along with the rest of the world, should be governed by conservative Christians using a conservative Christian interpretation of biblical law. In a 2007 column for Christianity Today, Colson ripped into Christian parents who are unable to "defend Christian truth … because we worship at the altar of the bitch goddess of tolerance."
Still, Colson's flirtation with dominionism is one thing. The antebellum slavery-defending "paleo-confederacy" advocated by Wilson, his conference host, is quite another. Wilson's booklet Southern Slavery, As It Was, is an outrageous apologia for the enslavement of black Americans in the Old South. "Slavery as it existed in the South … was a relationship based upon mutual affection and confidence," wrote Wilson and his co-author Wilkins. "There has never been a multiracial society which has existed with such mutual intimacy and harmony in the history of the world." Wilson is also a promoter of some of the more draconian tenets of Christian Reconstructionism, a theocratic movement that seeks to demolish American democracy and replace it with the legal code of the Old Testament, which calls for stoning to death adulterers, homosexuals and in some cases, wayward children. In an April 2009 interview with Christianity Today, Wilson distanced himself only ever so slightly from the most hardline reconstructionists. "You can't apply Scripture woodenly," said Wilson. "I'm not proposing legislation. All I'm doing is refusing to apologize for certain parts of the Bible."
Despite these extremist views, Wilson hopes to fashion himself as a mainstream Christian evangelical. Last year, he sparred with outspoken atheist writer Christopher Hitchens in a filmed six-part debate entitled "Is Christianity Good for the World?" The text of the debate arguments were widely reprinted in the evangelical Christian press. When Hitchens was asked about his debate opponent Wilson, he replied "He has a ministry on the Washington-Idaho border, I believe," Hitchens said. "I don't know of what Christian denomination he precisely describes himself … I try not to do too much homework on people." It's unlikely that Colson, who is now featured in the same publications as Wilson, has the same excuse.

Brazil is driving the Latin American smart grid agenda. Will it leapfrog the U.S.?
Editor's note: Michael Wiebe is a consummate smart grid insider. He runs a consulting firm that has supported over $7 billion and 55 million devices in successful smart grid projects in the U.S. and seven other countries since 1996. He is currently supporting four projects. One is integrating large-scale variable energy resources into the grid. Another is pursuing real time Volt/VAR optimization and load control for peak load control. Others deal with traditional AMI and distribution automation. Michael was one of the sector's early pioneers. So when I heard he was just back from Latin American, I asked him to share his insights on the progress of that region. - Jesse Berst
By Michael Wiebe
On March 22-23, 2012 top Latin American government officials, utility executives and prominent members of the vendor community gathered in Rio de Janeiro to participate in the Utilities Telecom Council's (UTC) inaugural America Latina Summit on Smart Grid. The Summit also served as a test bed for determining whether UTC would add a Latin America office to those already established in the U.S., Canada, and Europe.
Brazil at the forefront
"Brazil is at the Latin American forefront pursuing grid modernization for its electric utilities," notes Connie Durcsak, UTC's President and CEO. "Given our extensive advocacy efforts concerning utility information and communications technology interests, UTC was invited by our Latin America members to host a Summit to explore the policy, market and technology imperatives specific to this region."
Brazil already has clean and renewable energy covered -- 77% of its energy is supplied by hydro-electric resources. Hence, Brazil's policy focus is not on integrating renewable energy sources into the grid. Rather, its challenge centers on lowered distribution tariffs, universalization, improved power quality and loss reduction.
Brazil's Smart Grid Market Will Reach $36.6 Billion by 2022
WASHINGTON, April 5, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Smart grid investments in Brazil will reach $36.6 billion by 2022, according to a new study released today by Northeast Group, LLC. Utilities in Brazil will use the smart grid investments to help reduce electricity theft, improve the reliability of electric infrastructure, offer new pricing plans for customers and enable economic growth.
"Brazil's rapidly growing economy is straining the existing electric infrastructure and smart grid investments will be critical to address the many challenges facing the sector. Brazil, with the fifth largest population in the world, is eager to upgrade its infrastructure in the run-up to the 2014 World Cup and 2016 Summer Olympics when it will be on the world stage," according to Northeast Group.
"A very significant problem in Brazil is the high rate of electricity theft. This is both a public safety issue and also unfairly requires paying customers to subsidize those stealing power. Smart meters are very effective tools in helping reduce electricity theft," according to Northeast Group.
Smart metering - or advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) - will be the smart grid program leading the way in Brazil. The centerpiece of Brazil's smart grid plans is a target set by ANEEL, the Brazilian electricity regulator, to deploy 63 million AMI meters by 2021. Detailed regulations are expected within the next year and these will drive large-scale AMI deployments across the country. In addition, distribution automation, home energy management and other smart grid technologies are expected to grow in Brazil over the coming decade.
"Establishing the regulatory framework will be the catalyst for large-scale AMI deployments," according to Northeast Group. "But even in advance of these regulations, Brazilian utilities have been very active in piloting AMI. Almost all of the utilities have piloted AMI in some form and five of the largest utility groups with non-technical losses above 14% found that AMI deployments can bring immediate benefits by reducing theft. Several Brazilian utilities are even already experimenting with full-scale 'smart city' concepts that leverage a number of smart grid applications, such as distributed renewable generation and sophisticated home area networks."
The study - Brazil Smart Grid: Market Forecast (2012-2022) - forecasts 14 segments of the smart grid market in Brazil. These include market values for AMI segments (meter hardware, communications, IT, professional services and installation costs); distribution automation segments (substation automation; fault detection, isolation and restoration (FDIR); volt/VAR optimization (VVO); and grid monitoring and control); wide area measurement (synchrophasors), and home energy management segments (home area networks, electric vehicle supply equipment and smart solar inverters) through 2022. The study also provides a detailed overview of the electricity industry structure in Brazil. It profiles the 12 consortia controlling 33 of the largest distribution utilities that make up 90% of the market. A smart grid vendor analysis in the report profiles those firms positioning themselves to win large smart grid contracts, including domestic Brazilian firms poised to partner with international smart grid vendors.
The study is 128 pages long and includes over 65 charts, tables and graphics. Primary research was completed on the ground in Brazil and secondary research used English and Portuguese sources. To order a copy of the study, please visit www.northeast-group.comor email Ben Gardner at: firstname.lastname@example.com

After hearing landlords' concerns, Baldwinsville officials have opted to offer education rather than law regarding a proposed local law involving inspections of village rental properties.
The proposed law would have addressed public safety issues for those who live in rental properties and would have held landlords responsible for making sure their units were up to code.
About 25 residents were present during last night's public hearing, which lasted about an hour. While issues discussed ranged from tenants' rights, government's involvement and disgruntled tenants, the biggest concern was a lack of knowledge regarding local codes.
"I respect where the codes officer is coming from," said Randy Reinhardt, a village landlord. "However, I believe there are plenty of tenants' rights now. Some landlords might not be aware of some of the codes."
Reinhardt suggested offering an education forum for both landlords and tenants before considering the law. Officials took an impromptu poll of those present at the public hearing to see who would be interested in attending a forum and nearly every hand went up.
"Educate us first," a resident said.
After closing the hearing, officials decided to remove the law from the agenda for the meantime and organize a codes education seminar instead for both landlords and tenants. Trustee Rick Presley said concerns made the issue an agenda item in the first place and those concerns should be addressed. Whether the education seminar would address those concerns sufficiently enough to allow abandonment of the law remained to be seen.
"If it comes again, we'll need another public hearing," said Mayor Joe Saraceni.
Skating rink to return
Generosity from the village of Liverpool and a Baldwinsville resident will make the village ice skating rink a reality again this year.
Mayor Joe Saraceni said he spoke with Liverpool Mayor Marlene Ward and she agreed to loan Liverpool's seasonal ice skating rink to Baldwinsville for use at the old Harrington Firehouse site. He added that a resident agreed to loan a shed to the village for storing ice skates. Both are being loaned at no cost to the village.

More Women than Ever to Attend Harvard Business School in the Fall
Jun 6, 2013 | 0 comments
Harvard Business School (HBS) expects women to make up a record 41 percent of its incoming MBA class, according to preliminary data released earlier this week. Up from 40 percent last year and 35 percent ten years ago, it reflects continuing efforts the school has been making to bolster female enrollment.
The University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School has been a leader among top business schools with regard to female enrollment, with women making up 42 percent of its incoming class last year. The Philadelphia school has not yet released its enrollment figures for the upcoming fall. Stanford Graduate School of Business, which enrolled 35 percent women last year, also has not yet released fall enrollment figures.
The strides in female enrollment come amid HBS's celebration of the 50th anniversary of admitting women MBA students, which it commemorated in 2012-13. Even so, according to a report HBS published to mark the occasion, its women graduates are less satisfied with their careers than their male counterparts, and many believe the decision to prioritize family over work stands as the greatest barrier to career advancement for women.
In releasing its preliminary class profile, HBS also revealed that applications rose 9.3 percent (to 9,315) last year and that it admitted 12 percent of those who applied, down from 13 percent last year. HBS expects its class size to increase to 941 students this fall, up from 913 last year.

Union County softball wants 'to go as far as we can'
Lady Patriots are perfect in District 3-AA
The six seniors on the Union County High School softball team want to end their careers with a good run at the end.
Tuesday will be a good test.
Monday was a good tune-up.
Senior Casey Bryan combined with freshman Sarah Wilkerson for a four-hitter and the Lady Patriots run-ruled Fulton 19-0 in five innings at Christenberry Park.
Union County (18-9, 7-0 District 3-AA) plays at Gibbs Tuesday at 6 p.m. for first place in the district.
Gibbs won the Class AA state championship last season and has been a tough hurdle for Union County — along with many other teams.
"We're hoping to get on top and set ourselves up for the district tournament," said fourth-year Union County coach Lance Lay, who is looking for his first victory over Gibbs. "Our focus right now is the postseason. Every game we play is hopefully a learning experience for the postseason."
Bryan (17-9), who has signed with Lindsey Wilson (Ky.) College, allowed three singles over four innings. She struck out 10 and didn't walk a batter.
Fulton starting pitcher Dominique McCue led off the bottom of the first with a sharp first-pitch single to the fence in left field, and Bryan struck out the next five.
"I knew my teammates would back me up if I needed outs," Bryan said. "I'm pretty comfortable out there with this team. I know they'll back me up."
Wilkerson took over starting the fifth and gave up one hit. She struck out one.
Senior first baseman Kelly Cooper, who has signed with Roane State, went 4-for-5 with a double and six RBIs. She reached on an error in her first at-bat.
Senior catcher Bailey Mize was 3-for-4 with a double and two RBIs. Mize will play at Lindsey Wilson next year and continue catching for Bryan.
Union County had 12 hits.
"We want to go as far as we can this year," Cooper said. "We feel like this is our year."
Senior shortstop Katie George has signed to play for Walters State. Audrey Bruner and Samantha Wilkerson are the other seniors.
"Right now we're starting to hit our stride," Lay said. "They're just working well as a team. The bats are coming around, and we're starting to jell."
The Lady Patriots hope that continues tonight.
"I'm looking forward to it," Bryan said. "I mean, I know we'll put up a good fight against any team we play."

EXCLUSIVE: Gamma ray explosion irradiated Earth in eighth century
Recent evidence suggests that 1240 years ago the Earth was bombarded by a massive gamma-ray burst, the most powerful known explosion in the universe. Researchers studying ancient Japanese cedar trees have found unusually high levels of the isotope carbon-14, corresponding with a surge in beryllium-10 in Arctic ice at the same time, which suggest that a powerful flash of cosmic radiation hit our planet in AD 774 or 775. The carbon-14 concentrations discovered in the cedars is about 20 times levels normally expected to result from solar modulation.
The explosion was likely caused by the collision of two neutron stars, which released an apocalyptic two-second blast of radiation as their two massive cores fused into one. Fortunately, the event occurred thousands of light years away, so the impact on middle-age humans and other species was relatively minor.
"If the gamma-ray burst had been much closer to the Earth it would have caused significant harm to the biosphere," said lead researcher, Dr. Ralph Neuhauser of the University of Jena in Germany. "But even thousands of light-years away, a similar event today could cause havoc with the sensitive electronic systems that advanced societies have come to depend on".
If a similar burst occurred within 200 light-years or so of Earth, it would strip our ozone layer away on contact, and likely lead to the mass extinction of life on our planet. We can thank the stars that such occurrences are relatively rare, estimated to happen only a few times every million years.
In an exclusive interview with the Science Recorder, lead researcher Dr. Ralph Neuhauser elaborated on the team's recent discovery.
Science Recorder (SR): How did this finding come about in the first place?
Ralph Neuhauser (RN): Miyake et al. (June 2012, Nature) found a C-14 spike in tree rings dates AD 774/5, but could not find the cause. We considered a short gamma-ray burst and found that it is consistent with all observables from the C-14 spike.
SR: Your study mentions the cedar tree samples were supported by evidence of a surge in beryllium-10 in Antarctic ice at the same time. While trees have a limited life span, would it be possible to find clues about gamma-ray bursts before then in ice samples?
RN: Yes, ice samples are older, but also the Be-10 decays, as it is radio active. More such spikes in older ice can possibly be found.
SR: What potential effects could the burst have had on life on Earth?
RN: In AD 774/5, it did not have any effect and may not have been noticed at all by humans at that time. We are protected by the ozone layer against high-energy radiation. If we keep the ozone layer alive, we will also be protected in the future.
SR: What are your next steps with this study?
RN: We plan to search for a neutron star at the predicted distance and age range, which might have been produced in such a merger, which is seen as a gamma ray burst.
The group's findings were announced Monday, January 19 in the Monthly Notices of Britain's Royal Astronomical Society journal, and based on research conducted in 2012.

Looking for downloadable stock image collections
First time poster here, and I have a fairly odd request. I'm going on a 12 day vacation starting tomorrow, and I'm planning to take my graphics tablet with me and do some serious practicing. I don't know yet what I'm going to paint, though - so I could use a large number of reference images.
However, I'll be stuck at a place with a very slow dial-up connection, so I can't just browse the internet until I find something that suits my fancy (which would be my normal approach). So I'm looking for some sort of large stock image collections which are downloadable as zip files or in a similar format, since I simply don't have the time to download lots of images individually until I leave tomorrow.
They don't have to be centered on specific themes - if I already knew what kinds of images might be inspiring, I would download them directly - but I'd be especially interested in images connected to the following themes:
- architecture
- people
- landscapes
- animals
Does anyone know of such downloadable image collections?

Move over summer blockbuster movies. The best show (tastiest too, promise!) is in restaurants across the country. And it comes with dinner.
It all goes down like this: take a seat, place your order, and prepare to be wowed by a tableside preparation and presentation that's as action filled as it is adventurous.
The trend to go all out, no holds barred tableside is just beginning to break, according to LA Michelin-starred super chef and showman Luigi Fineo of RivaBella on West Hollywood's Sunset Blvd.
"I actually experienced this [trend] 30 years ago in Italy," recalls Fineo. "For me, it's bringing back tradition, that 'wow' factor to dining."
And "wow" them he does at his Italian gem with a delectable, delicate al dente tableside risotto. A whole 80-pound wheel of Parmigiano Reggiano arrives tableside where wild mushroom risotto is finished off in a center cut hole then poured into an earthen bowl. It's as arresting aromatically as it is viscerally.
"Guests enjoy the extra service and attention," Fineo says. He also believes, ironically, that the theatricality lures people back into a state of relaxation. "In Italy a two-and-a-half-hour dinner is standard. You relax. You enjoy. Our tableside presentations allow for that same unhurried experience. And enjoyment."
A few notable tableside presentations include:
Fineo completes the "ooh" and "ahh" experience with his liquid nitrogen ice cream dessert presentation. A server hand cranks an Amish-inspired mixer with one hand while spraying liquid nitrogen with the other to freeze the cream base. The rippling dry ice-like smoke billows across the entire table as toppings such as berries, candied pistachios and salted caramel are heaped on the finished ice cream.

Kachina Southwestern Grill
Chef Jeff Bolton goes Native American with his tableside clay baked trout on the Chef and Butcher menu. "Native Americans could wrap up a fish, throw it on the fire, pull it out, crack the clay and have a delicious simple meal," explains Bolton. The tableside process is much the same. After guests select the trout, it's de-boned, stuffed with lemon, thyme, epazote, salt and pepper, then wrapped in soaked corn husks. After going in a clay wrap it's baked for 15 minutes. The clay is cracked with a butter knife and then the "wow" finale: the corn husk is opened and out comes a fish that's unbelievably soft and perfectly seasoned.
10600 Westminster Blvd., Westminster, CO; 303-410-5813, kahinagrill.com
Mi Dia From Scratch
The Cinco de Mayo spirit lives here year-round, especially when it comes to the tableside guacamole. Not just any waiter, but a specialty "guacamole chef" arrives tableside. Avocados are cut, scooped and placed in a stone bowl. Out comes jar upon jar of fresh ingredients to amp up the visual and the flavor: sundried tomatoes, garlic, roasted serrano peppers, onions and lime among the many. Once combined and muddled, the big finish arrives: crisped bacon! Roasted hatch chiles and homemade tortilla chips complete the experience.

Momofuku Ma Peche
Here it's all about a tableside dim sum seafood show. "Our seafood cart could be considered a portable raw bar that allows our guests to interact with cooks in a manner that's unusual outside of the kitchen," says executive chef Paul Carmichael. The seafood cart features oysters, lobster and lemongrass butter, shrimp cocktail, trout roe and potato pancakes, and uni. Pancakes are sautéed in a pan with lots of sizzle and aromas. Finished, they're topped with trout roe, chives, sour cream with sherry vinegar and shallots.
15 W. 56th St., NY, NY; 212-757-5878, momofuku.com
At James Beard-nominated chef Jonathon Sawyer's soon to open spot, tableside service begins with the candles, pure Ohio beef tallow with 24k gold honey, lit and explained when bread is served. Live coal/hardwood ember is brought to the table to sear raw fish, carne salada and fresh pickled vegetables for the carne salada dish with local lamb shoulder. Also an option, live curdling of local goat's milk ricotta with artichoke thistle for either pasta entrees or the warm apple dessert.
