Downtown building sale could shatter records
Houston property firm Hines is hoping to sell another one of its trophy developments — and one of its youngest. The building is downtown's BG Group Place, a 1 million-square-foot tower completed in 2011, according to industry newsletter Real Estate Alert, which pegs the building's value at $470 million. If someone pays that much, it […] [Read More]

At this stage, in typical Allen fashion, the plot and title are under wraps, but we do know that it will shoot in Rome this summer.
In other Allen news, the Oscar-winning director will be the subject of a two-part 'American Masters' documentary this fall, Variety reports. Robert Weide ('Curb Your Enthusiasm') has been working on the project with Allen's cooperation for the past year, including spending a week on the London set of 'You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger' and accompanying the director to Cannes for the film's premiere.
The film will profile Allen's life from his childhood in Brooklyn -- he even led Weide on a tour of his old neighborhood -- to his stand-up career and up through the Cannes premiere of his latest film, 'Midnight in Paris,' in May.
'Woody Allen: A Documentary,' will air in 90-minute installments over two nights on PBS this fall.
"The prolific nature of Woody's output has provided me with an embarrassment of riches," Weide said. "Even with three hours at my disposal I feel the heartbreak of all, the things I have to leave out. In fact, Woody will have made three features just in the time it's taken me to make this one documentary."
Allen was previously the subject of the 1997 documentary 'Wild Man Blues,' directed by Barbara Kopple.[Via Variety]

comfort well worth the price
This website offers a lower price than the actual The North Face website which was an enormous plus. And for an extra $2 I ended up saving $12 for faster (two day) shipping. Their color choices were also a big draw. Nerds to say I'm 110% satisfied with the website and my order!

A. how long will a vehicle wrap last?
Time and sun exposure are a vehicle wrap's worst enemy. To combat nature, we use the best materials on the market in our opinion. 3M adhesive vinyls are tried and true. They look amazing on the vehicle and last a long time. In fact, 3M guarantees the combination of vinyl, laminate and Roland EcoSolvent inks we use against unacceptable levels of fading or failure for 3 years. We guarantee our installations for 1 year. Rest assured, typically, if something on the wrap is going to fail, it's going to happen within the first few weeks. Just give us a call and schedule some time to come by the shop so we can fix it! We offer a 1 year warranty on our installations, but remember, it's just as important to us as it is to you that your vehicle look flawless.... your wrap represents us! If you take good care of the wrap, keep it clean, keep the vinyl polished and try to limit direct sun exposure to any one particular area of the vehicle, the wrap is going to last much longer than 3 years!

Good stuff…
Good stuff!!!
Still winced every time Chicharito got on the end of a cross
LOVE THE ENERGY and the INTENSITY. We are quite lucky to have survived a draw. GO US…!!
Those are always the best highlights. Such a close game..if only jozy got that ball next to the post…
Didn't they call a phantom foul on Cam for that?
Yup….Geoff muscled his way in and somehow that was a foul.
From the field level, it appears that Chicharito. had only one good half/chance on goal, and that was the net crash off the top of his foot. The other chances in front of the net, either had Gonzalez clearly heading it away, out leaping Chicharito. The other shows Besler? poking away the cross before it got to Chicharito. From the TV perspective, it looked like Chicharito muffed his chance, he didn't, he was clearly beaten to the ball by the US center backs
What was really telling was that the US had 2, TWO corners, yet Cameron came within a hair of converting it. Mexico had FIFTEEN, had only maybe one that was dangerous chance Towards the end, Mexico gave up crossing into the box and instead, passed the corner kicks to the top of the box and tried to sneak it in.
The US had total domination of the aerial presence that day.
man hugs at the end. F… yeah.
Some of the Mexican players actually shook hands with the US players.
II'll call it now… Guzan over Howard in Brazil… can't remember when one of our keepers started 2 world cups in a row.
Delusional. Guzan is looking good, but Timmy is better. Remember, if you were good at analyzing football, you would be working in the industry.
That's not delusional at all. Guzan is a great back-up and Brazil is still a while away. If you really want to use the term delusional without being so hyperbolic, I'd point you towards your last sentence:
"if you were good at analyzing football, you would be working in the industry."

Mention Tony Clement – and CN jumps on crossing repairs in downtown Gravenhurst
GRAVENHURST — After years of driver complaints about rail crossing in Gravenhurst, it took less than two days to get action — and less than a day do a quick fix.
That's because a threatened letter by the town to MP Tony Clement sparked CN Rail to act on two of five downtown crossing that are among the worst local drivers and those in town from the city have seen anywhere in Ontario.
Mayor Paisley Donaldson told Rotarians Monday at their noon meeting that the town finally got fed up and asked Clement to do something.
He told municipal officials to send him a letter.
When the town called to find out who the track supervisor for the area was (the third one in the past few yeas said Donaldson), the person was taken aback and said it didn't need to go up the ladder, it could be taken care of locally.
So when CN found out the town was drafting a letter for Clement to sign and pass on to the transportation minister and his staff, CN got in gear.
That was Monday morning.
By Wednesday morning the trains were stopped and work on Philip and First streets crossing had commenced by about eight CN workers and eight Fowler Construction crew members.
By noon they were done adding a patch of asphalt to smooth the crossing on the two track lines.
It was a little smoother ride over it. And it feels like it will last the summer — or at least a week or so.
After lunch at the main crossing into town at the old train station at Brock Street and Bethune Drive, a couple dozen new 6×10-inch timbers were taken and out and replaced, some shoring up of the rails and some packing was added underneath it all. The old asphalt was dug out and a new paving was being done late in the afternoon.
Work was expected to be completed this evening.
There was no official word on work this week on the other three crossings — one on Muskoka Road at the Shopper's Drug Mart, and two at the north end at Winewood Avenue and Bethune Drive; and just further north where they cross into the industrial park.
As well, the two different types of smoother, better weight-absorbing rubber crossings CN could have used were not used on this day.
However, it's likely you could see the second rail line through downtown town pulled out this September and the Brock Street crossing could be fully paved over.
That would mean tearing up Wednesday's timber and doing a full paving over of the crossing.
All this work for only a couple of trains through town in a day.

So glad to see Len get the deserved mention here. You couldn't have picked a nicer guy, and the 3six5 project is just more evidence of his innovative brilliance. I'm personally honored to be involved in the project and can't wait to see how it plays out throughout the year. Book project in the making?
Also, gender diversity issues aside, I have to agree with earlier votes for Gini Dietrich. Woman or superhero, take your pick. I don't understand how Gini can do all the inspiring things she does throughout the course of a day, let alone a year. Her work at the helm of Arment Dietrich is something to behold. After watching in awe the trail she blazed last year, I can't even begin to imagine the heights that she and her firm will reach this year.

CLOVIS, N.M. (AP) - City commissioners have approved a plan to poison prairie dogs in a Clovis park.
The Portales News-Tribune reports that Clovis city commissioners on Friday approved an emergency budget transfer to purchase 250 containers of Rozol rodenticide to reduce the population of prairie dogs at Ned Houk Park.
The move came after several landowners near the park pressured commissioners about the burrowing rodents.
Resident Glenn Eagle says the prairie dogs have eaten his oat crop in the past and he's worried they eat the oats again this spring.
He says the rodents are destroying the park by eating the grass and making erosion problems worse.
But Clovis resident Susan Hubby says she was concerned about the long-term effects of Rozol on the park's ecosystem.

There was another script for today, but I was talking with Jes about Mass Effect 3, which she had recently finished. She said she didn't mind the "red" ending as much as she thought she would, considering the hype, but she would have liked to see what happens to everyone afterward.
I said I was pretty sure what happens to everyone afterward. Colonies collapse en mass. Tali and Garrus starve to death on an uncharted world. Same thing happens to the Turian and Quarian fleets stranded on Earth. Krogan eat everyone else until they go extinct a thousand years later.
Jes was not having any of that.
I pasted the ensuing rant into another script with the directions "Alternatively, Jes draws this however the hell she wants."

Aside from replacing Cheney, characterized as "the single worst influence on your foreign policy, as well as the most polarizing figure in your administration," Kristof also advises the president to "seriously engage Iraq's nastier neighbors, including Iran and Syria, and renounce permanent military bases in Iraq"; to "start an intensive effort to bring peace to the Middle East"; to "confront the genocide in Darfur"; to "revive the theme of compassionate conservatism by extending your excellent five-year AIDS program"' to "address climate change"; to "put aside those thoughts of a military strike on Iranian nuclear sites, and make it clear to Israel that we oppose it conducting such an attack"; to "address our disgraceful inequities in health care"; and to "revive the reform proposals that President Clinton urged in 1999," rather than just "giving up" on Social Security. ... ... "Tenth, don't toss this newspaper to the floor and curse the press for your unpopularity," Kristof writes.

The votes have been counted and the results seem clear: Libertarians won.
I'm not joking. Ballot initiatives measure actual popularity of social movements, and the resounding victories last victories of ballot measures to approve the legalization of marijuana and to support gay marriage amount to a stunning shift in public opinion in favor of freedom.
Voters approved gay marriage in three states, Maine, Maryland and Washington, and defeated a ban on gay marriage in Minnesota. They approved legalizing the use of marijuana in two states, Washington and Colorado.
It was the first time that either issue had been approved in a state ballot referendum.
This seems much more significant to me than worrying about which professional politician in the Oval Office or on the Senate floor will be using your tax money to buy votes.
Libertarians supported all of the marijuana and gay marriage ballot issues, although no doubt in some cases they didn't feel the proposals went far enough.
The Libertarian Party supported gay rights and marijuana legalization when such stances were out of the mainstream. In a 1996 article in "The Advocate," gay Libertarian activist Richard Sincere, the chairman of the Libertarian Party of Virginia, noted the party's longtime stance in favor of gay rights.
"We've always called for an end to sodomy laws and for an end to discrimination toward gays in the military," he said in that 1996 article. "At our latest convention, we passed a platform plank that urged the abolition of laws banning same-sex marriage."
The party began fielding presidential candidates (and advocating for gay issues) in 1972.
Similarly, drug legalization goes back a long way with the Libertarian Party.
Here is a sentence from the 1972 platform of the LIbertarian Party, one that captures the party's stance on both marijuana use and gay rights: "We favor the repeal of all laws creating 'crimes without victims' now incorporated in Federal, state and local laws -- such as laws on voluntary sexual relations, drug use, gambling, and attempted suicide."
The platform doesn't mention gay marriage, but I don't think many people thought in those terms in the 1970s. The explicit endorsement of gay marriage in the Libertarian Party's 1996 platform put the party ahead of other political parties.
When I offered my theory to one Democrat that Tuesday's poll results had been a huge victory for Libertarian principles, she objected and said that it isn't just Libertarians who support gay marriage and marijuana legalization.
That's true, of course, but it's also fair to remember those who supported freedom when nobody else would. Even in 2012, ending the war on drugs and supporting marriage equality is still too much for most Democratic and Republican politicians.
Many important pillars of freedom begin as radical ideas endorsed by a minority. Nobody supports slavery in 2012, but when William Lloyd Garrison advocated the "immediate abolition of slavery" in the 1830s, he was considered a dangerous radical. His insistence that women should be full participants in the New England Anti-Slavery Society also was seen as beyond the pale, even by his fellow antislavery advocates.

"I've run all over America—and the world—but nothing beats Zion National Park," says Ed Eyestone, 48, a two-time Olympian. It's not for the fainthearted: The last half mile of the 5-mile run follows a ridgeline with a dropoff of nearly 1,000 feet on each side.
The Drill
Run the switchbacks, called Walter's Wiggles, like stadium stairs. "Run 6 hard, jog 1, and repeat," says Eyestone. "It will work your anaerobic threshold and make your gait more efficient."

Summer Music Festivals
I'm on my way back to San Antonio after enjoying two different summer classical music festivals, one in Philadelphia and one in New Hampshire. My flight is delayed due to rain (what a novel experience for a resident of South Texas!) so I thought I'd blog on my experiences with summer concerts. I've always had […] [Read More]
I attended a wonderful chamber music concert put on by the Cactus Pear Music Festival last night. There are only two performances left in this festival (July 18 in San Antonio and July 19 in Boerne.)

Music Education
"Should we not be putting all our emphasis on reading, writing and math? The 'back-to-basics curricula,' while it has merit, ignores the most urgent void in our present system – absence of self-discipline. The arts, inspiring – indeed requiring – self-discipline, may be more 'basic' to our nation survival than traditional credit courses. Presently, we […] [Read More]
Music on TV
Immediately after the thrilling Men's Finals at Wimbledon this past weekend, a series of commercials were run congratulating Roger Federer. It was impressive how quickly they produced these clever ads. One of the most effective was set to the music of "O Fortuna" from Carmina Burana by Carl Orff. I was reminded how last year […] [Read More]

Things I liked:Side by side you can't tell the diff, from the real thing. I love it. Almost Everything about the gun is GREAT
Things I would have changed:Go from Green Gas to Co2... Green Gas only able to shoot 12 rounds out of a 25 round magazine (that sucks Co2 will let you shoot about 60 rounds.
What others should know:All in All its a GREAT side arm. They could drop the price 30 bucks. and fix the G/G magazine, and give you an extra G/G magazine you will need it in CQC
Things I liked:Weight and total realistic feel of the real weapon.
Things I would have changed:Would like to have more rounds per fill of gas.
What others should know:Was extremely disappointed on the number of rounds per fill. It may be something I am doing wrong but with a second brand new can of propane, i had the same poor results. Maybe 20 rounds per fill is all I have obtained.
Things I liked:Excellent quality overall. Looks great, action is fast and reliable. Recoil action is perfect. Spittin image of the real thing.
Things I would have changed:My only wish is that the gas strage tank was larger. I get about 16 to 18 shots from a green gas charge. I only load 7 rounds in the clip at a time to simulate the real thing in combat action. I get two 7 shot fills and maybe 1 or 2 more shots before I have to charge ti again. This is more a matter of the size of the clip/tank. It is accurate to the real thing so the tank is very small. This is really a minor complaint.
What others should know:Get it, you'll like it!

3 Duke tennis players to compete at Wake Forest
After a strong performance at the All-American Championships in Tulsa, Okla. last week, the Blue Devils are ready to compete for another preseason victory to help build momentum for the upcoming season.
Junior Fred Saba, freshman Daniel McCall and freshman Josh Levine will head to Winston-Salem, N.C. to compete in the Wake Forest Fall Invitational this weekend, a brand new tournament slated to begin Friday.
"We've had all the players on the team, from freshman to senior, perform very well at the tournaments so far," Saba said. "We're looking to keep it rolling and keep the momentum going."
The Blue Devils are confident in the depth of this year's team, hoping that the results from the past few weeks will translate to team victories in the season ahead.
"We look at these fall tournaments as an opportunity for match play," head coach Ramsey Smith said. "The goal is for everyone to get a bunch of matches under their belts and put ourselves in a good position once we start the dual-match season in January."
Saba, No. 111 in the ITA in preseason singles rankings, advanced to the finals of the white singles bracket at the Fab Four Invitational in Cary, N.C. Alongside partner Chris Mengel, Saba also pulled out a convincing 8-3 victory in the final of the black doubles bracket. His strong performance, he hopes, will carry him to individual success this weekend.
"As a junior, I'm realizing that I don't know how much longer I'm going to play tennis," Saba said. "I'm just looking to enjoy every match I play and make sure that I give myself the best shot and win every match possible."
As Saba approaches the end of his tennis career at Duke, the freshmen look to start the year off right, building confidence for the upcoming season and bolstering their rankings by competing and winning as many matches as possible. McCall said that although this weekend's tournament will only benefit his individual ranking, watching his teammates succeed in preseason play has him brimming with anticipation for the upcoming season.
"When you're out there competing, you really want to do well for the team and for the other guys," McCall said. "Everyone's really excited about what we can accomplish in the spring and hopefully all the work we have put in will pay off."
Saba will open the tournament against Liberty's Siim Tuus at 1 p.m. Friday. Levine will face UNC Wilmington's Chris Cooprider and McCall will compete against UNC Greensboro's Gaston Murray. McCall and Saba will compete together in the tournament's doubles draw as well. As the tournament looms ahead, the trio's coach is confident Duke will execute according to plan.
"I think they're prepared," Smith said. "They've just got to go out there and compete hard, have good attitudes and things will come together."

Celebrating the paperback release and new cover, Penguin Publishers has generously offered a paperback giveaway!
What would you do if you had ninety-nine days to change your life? When you enter the world of Menna van Praag's magical debut, THE HOUSE AT THE END OF HOPE STREET (Penguin; On-Sale: March 25, 2014; 978-0-143-12494-8; $16.00) about an enchanted house that offers refuge to women in their time of need, that is precisely what you'll begin to ask yourself.
When Alba Ashby, the youngest Ph.D. student at Cambridge University, suffers the Worst Event of Her Life, she finds herself at the door of 11 Hope Street. There, a beautiful older woman named Peggy invites Alba to stay, on the house's unusual conditions: she'll have ninety-nine nights, and no more, to turn her life around. The enchanted house will help Alba get her life back but, Peggy warns her, it may not give her what she wants. It will give her what she needs. The house, invisible to everyone except those who need it, has had more than a few distinguished guests. Virginia Woolf, Dorothy Parker, and Agatha Christie, among others, all stayed there at hopeless times in their lives and still hang around—quite literally—in talking portraits on the walls.
At Hope Street Alba meets Carmen, a sexy singer who no longer performs, and seems haunted by something that is buried under a plant in the garden with flowers so dark they are almost black. Living with them is Greer, a failed actress who's hiding a dark secret of her own. But perhaps most mystifying of all is Peggy herself, who entertains her lover on Sundays, eats chocolate cake for breakfast, and holds conversations with the illustrious tenants occupying the house's walls. As Alba begins to piece her life back together she discovers her own family has been hiding truths from her, truths that will lead Alba to places and people she never knew existed and to a life she never dreamed possible.
Inventive, charming, and filled with a fabulous cast of literary figures, THE HOUSE AT THE END OF HOPE STREET is a wholly imaginative novel of feminine wisdom and second chances, with just the right dash of magic.

A simple, lightweight cooling garment is provided for medical personnel working at intense medical tasks in warm environments (e.g. lead aprons and sterile gowns). The garment comprises an outer, air impermeable layer of material of minimal weight and bulk and an inner layer of air permeable material of minimal weight and bulk. The layers are secured together in a manner that allows air to flow between such layers and through the inner air, permeable layer to the body of the individual wearing the garment. In addition, means is provided for connecting the garment to a source of air flow containing relatively dry air for direction between the layers of the garment to the body of the individual wearing the garment.
1. A simple, minimum weight and thickness cooling garment for medical personnel working at medical tasks in warm environments, comprising:
an outer, air impermeable layer of material of minimal thickness,
an inner layer of air permeable material of minimal thickness,
means securing said layers directly together with no intermediate material or structures located between said layers to maintain the minimum weight and thickness characteristics of the garment, but in a manner that allows air to flow between said layers and through the inner air permeable layer to a body of an individual wearing the garment and freely exit from between the wearer and the garment without use of control exit ports in the garment, and
means for connecting the garment to a source of airflow containing a minimum amount of moisture for direction between said layers and to the body of the individual wearing the garment.
2. The simple, minimum weight and thickness garment of claim 1 wherein the garment has shoulder portions provided with discrete spacer means that separate the inner and outer layers of material in a manner that ensures airflow between said layers in a region of said shoulder portions when the wearer of the garment is wearing a heavy garment over the minimum weight garment and which rests on the shoulder portions of said garment.
3. The simple, mimimum weight and thickness garment of claim 2 wherein the descrete spacer means that separate the inner and outer layers of the shoulder portions includes spacers located between said layers at spaced locations over a breadth of the shoulder portions.
4. The simple, minimum weight and thickness garment of claim 3 wherein the discrete spacer means that separate the inner and outer layers of the shoulder portions includes spaced apart, flexible tubing connected in fluid communication with front and rear portions of the garment.
5. The simple, minimum weight and thickness garment of claim 3 wherein the heavy garment is an x-ray impervious lead apron.
The present invention relates generally to a garment for cooling an individual and, more particularly, to a thin, lightweight and comfortable garment comprised of a minimum number of plies that can be worn by medical personnel working in warm environments (e.g. under lead aprons and impermeable sterile gowns) under stressful conditions over extended periods of time. Under such conditions, medical personnel experience excessive perspiration such that they become fatigued and unduly uncomfortable to the extent that their physical and intellectual performance can suffer.
Medical personnel such as radiologists, cardiologists, surgeons, anesthesiologists and ancillary support staff must often work for long periods of time while wearing heavy lead aprons located under gowns that are impermeable to microorganisms to provide, respectively, radiation protection and sterile conditions. At the same time, hats, surgical masks and waterproof shoe coverings must, also, sometimes be worn. Because of perspiration, such personnel become uncomfortably hot and wet. Depending upon the length and intensity of a given procedure, a person can become saturated with perspiration. The situation is exacerbated by the need to minimize patient morbidity by keeping patients warm while undergoing medical procedures, such as surgery. The most common way to keep patients warm is to increase ambient room temperature.
Discomfort and fatigue can lead to heat stress, possible dehydration, decrease in physical and intellectual performance, additional radiation exposure due to worker reluctance to wear adequate shielding, longer duration of procedures and reluctance to provide a room temperature that is optimal for minimizing patient discomfort.
Presently available means for individual cooling are often heavy and cumbersome. Such means include closed-loop liquid circulation systems or heat absorbing chemical packs placed in the clothing and against the body of the user. Such systems do not remove the moisture (perspiration) on the surface of the person's body, thereby leaving the wearer wet and uncomfortable. Closed-loop liquid circulation systems, in addition, require pumps, cooling devices, such as ice containing reservoirs, and tubing that conduct cool liquid to a garment worn by the user and return the liquid to the cooling devices. This type of equipment is, in addition, heavy and cumbersome.
Another presently available cooling arrangement includes a stationary, immobile air compressor connected to a bladder located in or on a garment. The compressor provides cool air that is directed to the bladder and the bladder directs the air to the body of the user. Mobility of the user is restricted by an umbilical tube connecting the bladder to the fixed compressor. Compressors, in addition, require regular maintenance.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,243,706 to Frim et al. discloses a relatively thick vest for controlling the heat of an individual working in a hot environment such as found in military aircrafts and motorized tanks operating in desert areas. The vest uses a substantial number of layers or plies of porous material. The porous material provides multiple spaces or manifolds for distributing air in the layers and eventually to the body of the individual. The patent disclosure states that other cooling fluids can be used such as vapors of liquid nitrogen or other cold compressed gases.
The present invention is directed to a simple, preferably two-ply, inexpensive, minimal weight and non-bulky garment provided with means for connecting to a source of relatively dry, room temperature air. The garment is easily made to the size of an individual person such that the garment is comfortable and, being light-weight, does not add significantly to the weight of other clothes and garments worn by the individual. Such other garments include lead aprons etc. Garment bulk in the present invention is reduced to negligible terms by using a minimum number of thin layers of material.
The plies of the garment can consist of only an outer air impermeable layer and an inner layer of air permeable material. Dry air is directed between the two layers and to the body of an individual wearing the garment through the inner air permeable layer. The impermeable nature of the outer layer prevents escape of air through the outer layer. The air flow to the body of the individual removes moisture and perspiration from the body of the individual such that he is made more comfortable when working under high stress conditions over extended periods of time in warm environments. Removal of body moisture and perspiration from the individual, as well as cooling is effected by the flow of air over the body and heat is also removed from the individual by the very effective latent-heat-of-evaporation phenomenon that occurs on the skin of the individual when relatively dry air contacts the skin.
Air flow to the garment can be provided by a small portable fan or blower, which can be self-contained and battery or house current operated such that it can be worn by the user of the garment, or the garment can be pneumatically connected to a small movable blower unit mounted on swivel wheels that will follow the user as he or she moves about the room in performing his or her tasks.
In place of the blower, a portable cylinder or canister of dry air under pressure can also be used and can be, also, self-contained such that it can be worn by the user or placed on a movable staid with swivel wheels. Such a cylinder or canister can be provided with an adjustable nozzle that permits an appropriate volume and velocity of air flow to and through the garment to the user to remove heat and perspiration from the individual in the manner described above.
It is, therefore, an objective of the invention to provide a simple, inexpensive, light-weight, extremely low bulk garment for personnel working in high stress environments over long periods of time, the garment providing a flow of relatively dry air to the body of the individual that is effective in removing moisture and heat from the individual.
Another objective of the invention is to supply such dry air to the garment and to the individual wearing the garment from a room temperature, ambient source that is transportable.
A further objective of the invention is to provide such a garment in a disposable manner for convenience and hygiene purposes or, alternatively, a garment that is washable and, therefore, reusable for a low cost per each use thereof.
The invention, along with its objectives and advantages, will be better understood from consideration of the following detailed description and the accompanying drawings in which:
FIG. 1 is a front elevation view of a garment of the invention pneumatically connected to a cylinder or canister containing dry, room temperature air under pressure,
FIG. 2 shows two layers or plies of material of the garment of FIG. 1 in partial section,
FIG. 3 is a front elevation view of the garment of the invention pneumatically connected to a tube for supplying dry air to the garment, and
FIG. 4 is a front elevation view of a garment of the invention having a length greater than that depicted in FIG. 1 and 3, and pneumatically connected to a movable blower device.
Referring now to FIG. 1 of the drawings, a vest 10 of the invention is shown on the upper torso of an individual. The vest is preferably formed of two thin, outer and inner layers of material 12 and 14 (FIG. 2) stitched or otherwise suitably secured together at multiple locations 16 (FIGS. 1, 3 and 4) to prevent substantial separation of layers 12 and 14 by the flow of air under pressure to a space 18 between the layers (FIG. 2). The stitching or securing 16 is of the type that permits the flow of air through the stitching such that air flows throughout substantially the entire area of garment 10 to the body of the individual wearer of the garment.
Air flows to the body of the wearer through inner layer 14, which layer is porous and permeable to such air flow. In FIG. 2, layer 14 is shown with spaced pores or perforations 20 for conducting and directing air to the body of the wearer. Such pores are also shown in an area 22 in FIGS. 1, 3 and 4 that is broken away to reveal the pores in layer 14. However, the material of layer 14 can be such that the entire area of the layer is essentially minutely porous in a manner that allows sufficient and efficient air flow therethrough. If spaced, discrete pores are used that can be provided in a number of appropriate ways.
Outer layer 12 is impermeable to the flow of air so that all air directed to the garment and into any space 18 between layers 12 and 14 is conducted to the body of the user and to the bare skin of the user if he or she has no clothing beneath garment 10.
In FIG. 2, outer layer 12 is shown provided with an outer plastic, non-porous coating 24 to render layer 12 impermeable, though other types of impermeable materials can be used for the outer layer. This includes both disposable (single patient) and washable, reusable materials.
In all cases, it is desirable to use thin, lightweight, form-fitting and non-bulky materials for layers 12 and 14 so that garment 10 does not add substantially to the weight and bulk of clothing and other necessary items and accessories worn by personnel performing intense clinical and medical tasks. Individuals working with and in the vicinity of x-ray equipment should wear lead aprons. Over such aprons, if the individuals are engaged in tasks that may subject them to infectious diseases, gowns made of germ impermeable material are worn. With all this, there are, in addition, surgical caps and masks and shoe coverings that are often required. Thus, the need is to keep any additional clothing worn by such personnel as light and as comfortable as possible.
In FIGS. 1, 3 and 4 of the drawings, the shoulder areas of garment 10 are shown provided with spacing means 26 that maintain outer and inner layers 12 and 14 in a spaced apart manner, particularly when encountering the weight of a lead apron. This ensures air flow between front and rear panels of the garment via the shoulder areas, and air flow to the shoulders of the individual. Such spacing means can be simple, small, narrow, solid pieces 26a of lightweight material (FIG. 2) located between layers 12 and 14 at spaced apart locations in the shoulders of the garment and extending across such shoulders to front and rear panels, as shown.
Spacing means 26 can also be flexible tubing 26b, also shown in FIG. 2, located between layers 12 and 14. Such tubing is shown extending across the shoulders of the person wearing the garment in FIGS. 1, 3 and 4 and has sufficient capability to support the weight of a lead apron such that the shoulder areas of the garment remain open to the flow of air. If the tubes are open ended, as indicated by tube 26c in FIGS. 1, 3 and 4, the tubes can themselves conduct air flow across the shoulders of the individual.
Supply of air to garment 10 can be effected by a hose connection 28 secured to the garment such that the connection opens into space 18 (FIG. 2) between layers 12 and 14 of the garment, while the other end of the hose is adapted to pneumatically connect to a flexible hose 30. Hose 30 is adapted to connect to a supply of dry air. In FIG. 1 of the drawings, such supply is a portable canister or cylinder 32 shown mounted on a belt 34 of the wearer of garment 10 and containing the supply of dry air under suitable pressure. A hand operated adjustable valve 36 can be provided at the upper end of canister 32 to provide an air flow rate to garment 10 that is suitable and comfortable (tailored) to the individual user.
Cylinder 32 may also be larger than that shown in FIG. 1, i.e., the cylinder may comprise a tank of compressed air located on a floor mounted stand (not shown) with swivel wheels. In this manner, the tank can follow the individual connected to the tank by a suitable hose.
In using a pressurized source of dry air, the air exiting the source, e.g. cylinder 32 and into garment 10 expands and is thereby cooler than room temperature to provide additional cooling for the individual. This is particularly important if the room in which the individual is working is excessively warm.
FIG. 4 of the drawings shows a garment 10A of the invention pneumatically connected to a portable blower device 38 by a hose connection 28, a flexible hose portion 30 and an elongated, flexible hose 40 extending to the blower device. The blower device can be floor mounted or located on a stand with swivel wheels (not shown) so that it follows the wearer of garment 10 or 10A as he or she moves about a room or, if the blower is small and sufficiently light in weight, it can be mounted on the wearer. Blower device 38 includes a motor (not visible in FIG. 4) that can be powered by AC house current using a flexible cable of suitable length, or the blower can be powered by a small, lightweight battery.
Garments 10 and 10A and their associated sources of air, as thus far described, function in the following manner. An individual preparing for duty in an operating or other room where a medical task or tasks may be long in duration and strenuous puts on and secures the garment using suitable fasteners such as buttons, hooks and/or zippers (not shown), or the garment 10 or 10A can be secured in an outer garment, such as a lead apron, by appropriate fasteners 45 (FIG. 2) suitably provided on the outer surface of outer layer 12 of garment 10 or 10A, or on the inner surface of the outer garment. If the fasteners are strips of VELCRO�, for example, they can be provided on both garments.
The individual now connects an air supply device (32 or 38) to hose connection 28 so that the garment is ready to be supplied with a flow of air. It is assumed that the air in the room in which the individual will be working is relatively dry (as is the case in hospitals) if a blower device is used, as such a device will be drawing in room air and directing it to garment 10 or 10A. If a canister 32 is used, the temperature of the air contained therein will be at room temperature but it may be drier than that found in the room.
The individual now turns on blower 38 or operates valve 36 to begin supplying air to garment 10 or 10A. Air enters space 18 between the layers of the garment and flows through the inner, air permeable layer 14 (through pores 20 if discrete pores are used) to the body of the wearer. The air flow has a velocity that is effective in carrying away moisture (perspiration) from body surfaces of the individual as the air exits at the waist, neck, arms and legs (FIG. 4) of wearer.
In addition, the wearer is cooled by the latent heat of evaporation that takes place when body skin receives relatively dry air, such a phenomenon being very effective in removing heat from an individual.
When the medical task is completed, the wearer simply turns off the blower or canister, disconnects hose connection 28 and removes the garment. The task may have been long and strenuous, or stressful, but the individual wearing garment 10 or 10A with air flowing therethrough will not be thoroughly wet and uncomfortable.
If garment 10 or 10A is made of disposable materials, after use, it is deposited in an appropriate container or location for disposal. If the garment is made of washable or cleanable materials, it can be dispatched for washing or cleaning after use thereof.
While the presently preferred embodiments for carrying out the instant invention has been set forth in detail above, those persons skilled in performing stressful medical and clinical tasks to which this invention pertains will recognize various alternative ways of practicing the invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the claims appended hereto.

Truman Seizes Control of Steel Industry–April 8, 1952
On April 8, 1952, President Harry Truman seized control of steel industry, allowing the federal government to administer and oversee the industry. The seizure resulted after the steel producers and steel workers had been unable to reach agreement on a new contract. Truman justified this action under his authority as President but it resulted in a stunning rebuke for him.
On December 31, 1951, the contract between the nation's steel producers and the United Steelworkers Union expired. Weeks of negotiations had failed to produce an acceptable agreement. Since Truman had created a new bureaucracy to manage the economy during the Korean War, both the union and management looked to these agencies to provide a solution. Truman referred the dispute to Wage Stabilization Board (WSB) and requested that both sides continue production until the board made a decision. In March 1952, the WSB voted to give labor a raise of 26 cents an hour. To pay for this increase in wages, the steel manufacturers appealed to the Office of Price Stabilization (OPS) to raise the price of steel but the OPS rejected the request. The administration again attempted to negotiate a compromise, but the steel companies refused to accept the price increases offered by the government, and the union would only accept the raise promised by the WSB. With negotiations at an impasse, a strike appeared inevitable.
Throughout the ordeal, Truman's objectives were to avert a strike, maintain steel production, and stay on good terms with labor, an important Democratic constituency. Viewing steel as necessary to the war effort, he could not allow a strike to begin. Yet, he refrained from using his powers to force the union back to work under the Taft-Hartley Act. He believed that to do so would be to punish labor for management's intransigence and strengthen the political position of the Republican Party. So instead he issued Executive Order 10340 to have the secretary of commerce seize control of the steel industry.
Both the courts and public opinion opposed Truman's action. According to a Gallup poll, 43 percent of Americans disapproved of the seizures. In April, a federal district court found Truman's actions unconstitutional. Two months later, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld the lower court's finding in a 6 to 3 decision.
With control of the steel plants back in private hands, a fifty-three day strike ensued. In July, the President was finally able to get both sides to agree to terms similar to those on the table at the start of the year. Truman had risked much of his political capital on a strike that, in the end, had minimal effect on the Korean War. The choices he made in this incident increased the unpopularity of an already embattled President.

Ottney: Casino tops list of year's biggest newsmakersWritten by Sarah Ottney | Editor in Chief | email@example.com
The end of a year is a natural point of reflection.
The calm that descends, however briefly, after the mad rush of last-minute shopping and holiday gatherings subside invites us to pause and reflect on the past 12 months before diving into a new calendar year.
In compiling our annual list of the year's biggest newsmakers, the Toledo Free Press editorial team focused on events with the potential to have far-reaching impacts on the region, events that highlighted the city's hidden treasures and events that generated the most conversation.
Hollywood Casino Toledo quickly emerged as the biggest newsmaker of 2012.
For months, area residents watched the $320 million venue take shape along the riverfront, some with excitement, others with wariness.
Proponents argued Ohio's casinos would generate hundreds of millions in tax revenue for the state, create local jobs at a time when the unemployment rate was nearly 11 percent and keep money in Ohio rather than sending it to casinos in neighboring states. Opponents argued the venues would increase crime and traffic, have negative effects on compulsive gamblers and their families and attract out-of-state owners.
As Toledo's casino finishes its seventh month of operation, those concerns have largely subsided.
School officials and law enforcement personnel report low crime and traffic impacts. The Rossford Business Association and elected officials marvel at the company's philanthropic generosity and the accessibility of top employees.
Accessibility has been our experience as well. General Manager Richard St. Jean has been consistantly gracious and forthcoming in responding to our coverage pursuits — even when the focus is not specifically casino-related. For our Dec. 23 issue highlighting the Christmas trees of local residents, he not only allowed us into his home, but cheerfully and unprompted proposed dressing up as Santa Claus for the photo.
Of course, graciousness does not necessarily equate virtuousness, but it certainly created the positive first impression the casino was striving for.
Regardless of personal opinions, the casino is here and poised to impact Northwest Ohio both economically and culturally. lt has, by all accounts so far, been a good neighbor, with the potential to be a deep-rooted part of this community.
Presidential election years are always big newsmakers. The race between President Barack Obama and Mitt Romney as well as several dramatic matchups in Ohio and Toledo demanded attention for months as political ads flooded the market and all eyes focused on Ohio as a key swing state.
Candidates visited Ohio more than 80 times during the campaign. On Sept. 26, Obama and Romney were in Northwest Ohio on the same day. Vice presidential candidates Joe Biden and Rep. Paul Ryan and former president Bill Clinton also visited Northwest Ohio.
Many incumbents, including long-serving Rep. Marcy Kaptur in the redrawn 9th District, kept their seats this cycle. Local voters were also charged with making decisions on seven levies, passing all but two.
The Lucas County Board of Elections (BOE) brought negative attention to Lucas County when Secretary of State Jon Husted placed it under administrative oversight after its failure to resolve political and personal differences. Although Husted's office was satisfied with the board's administration of the recent election, the office does not have a timeline for removing its representatives from the BOE.
As seen with the recent school shooting in Connecticut, violence against children is always galvanizing and the nine Lucas County children who died in 2012 were no exception. Grabbing the most headlines were 1-year-old Ke'Ondra Hooks, killed by gunfire in August while sleeping inside a Moody Manor home, and siblings Paige, Logan and Madalyn Hayes, who died from carbon monoxide poisoning as part of a November murder-suicide by the children's grandmother and uncle.
Chick-fil-A, which opened two new restaurants in the Toledo area this year, found itself embroiled in the nation's same-sex marriage debate this summer after company president Dan Cathy said he backs the traditional family unit.
Proponents of same-sex marriage immediately boycotted the restaurant chain while activists who agree with Cathy organized "Chick-fil-A Appreciation Days," encouraging people to support the chain. Both sides made appearances in Toledo.
Also controversial was a May proposal to designate the Downtown intersection of Erie Street and Jefferson Avenue as Joe Wicks Way. Councilman Steve Steel proposed the idea to honor the late Wicks' activism promoting AIDS awareness, prevention and treatment in the early 1990s. Opposition arose from Downtown business owners and others who pointed to Wicks' unpaid property taxes, unkempt property and abrasive personality as reasons against bestowing the honor. The debate, tabled for now, could spark legislation that will dictate criteria for future street-naming.
Toledo hosted many events that drew visitors from far and wide.
The Toledo Museum of Art (TMA) brought a world-class collection of portraits by 19th-century French painter Édouard Manet, which drew visitors from 38 states to the only North American stop for the exhibition.
TMA also played a pivotal role in bringing the Glass Arts Society conference to Toledo in June, which drew thousands of glass artists to the Glass City. The conference was especially meaningful as it commemorated the 50th anniversary of the studio glass movement, which traces its roots to Toledo.
In August, Toledo Free Press publisher Tom Pounds and I had the chance to ride the USS De Wert from Detroit to Toledo with a delegation of Toledo leaders and media as part of Navy Week Toledo. It marked the first time U.S. Navy ships had been in the Great Lakes since 1999 and the first time Toledo has been chosen as a Navy Week city. Five ships docked in Toledo that week, offering free tours and drawing more than 20,000 visitors.
Also in August, the third annual Toledo Pride event took place Downtown, drawing nearly 10,000 people, doubling the 5,000 visitors the event drew in 2011. About 2,500 attended the inaugural Toledo Pride in 2010.
Since we love seeing new voices emerge to harmonize with successful established ones, Toledo artist Kimberly Adams topped our list of arts newsmakers this year.
Adams moved to the Glass City from Tampa, Fla., in June 2011, but is part of a group of recent Toledo transplants that has already had a huge impact on the local arts community. Adams founded Tart Projects, organized Toledo's first PechaKucha Night, joined founder Timothy Gaewsky as an early member of Launch Pad Cooperative and more.
Another new arts initiative, You Are Here Toledo, took the form of a series of 100 colorful "dots" that popped up on Glass City sidewalks from May to November, marking points of interest around the city. Scanning QR codes with a smartphone provided information about the location as well as the local artist who designed the dot.
The innovative project, a collaboration between the American Institute of Graphic Arts (AIGA) Toledo and the Arts Commission, engaged visitors and longtime residents alike in learning more about the city's hidden gems. The free smartphone application inspired a "collect-them-all" challenge.
The project was coordinated by AIGA Toledo president and Colorado native Jenn Stucker, a former "new voice" in the Toledo arts scene.
One of the year's biggest sports stories was the University of Toledo cracking the Top 25 in national football polls for the first time since 2001. The Rockets drew national attention for pulling off an upset win over then-unbeaten No. 21 Cincinnati. Although the team ultimately lost to Utah State in the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl, first-year head coach Matt Campbell's one-game-at-a-time philosophy seems to be working.
Another highlight was the number of local high school teams that played for state championships this year. Central Catholic football and Perrysburg girls soccer both claimed state titles, while Whitmer football and Sylvania Southview boys soccer fell just short.
For the fourth year in a row, Toledo Free Press was named best weekly newspaper in its 100,000-plus circulation class by the Ohio chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists, an honor we aim to defend as best as we can moving forward.
The media landscape in Toledo looks much different today than it did 12 months ago. FOX Toledo and WTOL-11 merged newsrooms, FOX Toledo news anchor/executive producer Shaun Hegarty moved to former rival WTVG-TV, Channel 13, controversial talk radio host Brian Wilson and general manager Andy Stuart separated from 1370 WSPD and Cumulus boomeranged from awarding Star 105 morning host Andrew Z a multiyear contract in June to abruptly firing him six months later on Dec. 26.
We thank you for joining us in 2012, and look forward to seeing what 2013 has in store.

August 3, 2015
LOS ANGELES (AP) - Christina Aguilera is comparing her upcoming album to a "rebirth."
With more than a decade in the music business behind her, the album will be a culmination of "everything I've experienced up until this point," the 31-year-old pop star says, including divorce.
Aguilera and Jordan Bratman were married for five years before they split in 2010. They have a 4-year-old son, Max.
The singer says the album will be "superexpressive" and "supervulnerable," but also fun.
The album doesn't have a release date and the title hasn't been announced.
Aguilera, a coach on NBC's singing contest, "The Voice," will perform the first single, "Your Body," on the show on Sept. 17.

Dancing With The Stars
DWTS Contestant Melissa Rycroft Wears a Knee Brace — What Happened? (PHOTO)
First Kelly Monaco breaks her toe and now Melissa Rycroft is sporting a knee brace? Say it ain't so!
The Dancing With the Stars Season 15 All-Stars contestant and reality TV star was seen wearing a wrap on her leg while walking with her partner Tony Dovolani at the rehearsal studios in LA yesterday (October 17).
And while Melissa didn't show any signs of an injury in the ballroom earlier in the week, maybe their upcoming Tango on Week 5 is more strenuous on the body. After all, Melissa did tweet yesterday, "Not gonna lie...getting a little frustrated with this Tango! I know it's going to come together, but right now....ARRGGHHHH!!"
Then again, maybe this former Bachelor chick is just being cautious and protecting her joints. Either way, we know this bubbly brunette mama and her studly pro Tony will pull through for the live shows. Good luck, you two!
Catch a new episode of Dancing With the Stars Season 15: All-Stars on Monday, October 22 at 8 p.m. on ABC.

Expect big 'Bad' Emmy night with gags

Seth Meyers, host of the "The 66th Primetime Emmy Awards" on NBC, promises humor that's more playful than cutting.

SAN ANTONIO — San Antonio's Don Mischer has produced enough awards telecasts in the past three decades — from the Tonys to the Emmys to the Oscars — to know what's crucial for a good night: high spirits all around, he said, and "keeping the show moving and paced really well."
"It's the mood in the room that makes the difference," Mischer, who grew up in the Alamo City and went on to produce too many Emmy shows to count — including Monday's broadcast — told TV critics at a press session last month.
Critical to this fun element is a strong host. Of course he should be funny, Mischer said, but also comfortable and in love with television.
Seth Meyers will be "tremendous," he added. "He's done a lot of live television, so he can roll with the punches and pick up on things that go wrong."
The 66th Primetime Emmy Awards will air on NBC at 7 p.m. Monday.
"I'm limited by the fact that I can't sing or dance," said Meyers, a 13-season vet of "Saturday Night Live" and currently the host of NBC's "Late Night." "So I have to tell jokes."
However, he's not interested in slinging jab after jab a la Ricky Gervais. His humor will be "more playful than cutting or biting," he said.
Meyers also stressed the importance of a lively opening monologue.
"Having been a nominee and a guest of the Emmys in the audience," he said, "that first 10 minutes is the best time to get the audience to laugh, because as the night progresses, more and more people are disappointed."
For now, everyone's a potential winner. Here are some Emmy picks and predictions:
Outstanding drama series
Nominees: "Breaking Bad," "Mad Men," "Game of Thrones," "Downton Abbey," "House of Cards" and "True Detective."
Likely winners: "Breaking Bad" (AMC) and its absolutely brilliant swan song episodes. Also deserving is "True Detective" and its courageous storytelling. And it was cool to see "Game of Thrones" get a nod, a rarity for a fantasy series. But "Bad" was just too good to beat.
I'm rooting for: "Breaking Bad." At a time when we're routinely dissatisfied with series endings, this one was a shining exception.
Outstanding lead actor (drama)
Nominees: Bryan Cranston ("Breaking Bad"); Jeff Daniels ("The Newsroom"); Jon Hamm ("Mad Men"); Woody Harrelson, Matthew McConaughey ("True Detective"); Kevin Spacey ("House of Cards")
Likely winners: Cranston, who lost to Daniels last year, should be a shoo-in. However, he's got formidable competition in McConaughey, whose TV series debut as a philosophical homicide detective was nothing short of mesmerizing.
I'm rooting for: Cranston, who forever seared Walter White into our brains with his powerhouse of a performance.
Outstanding lead actress (drama)
Nominees: Lizzy Caplan ("Masters of Sex"); Claire Danes ("Homeland"); Michelle Dockery ("Downton Abbey"); Julianna Margulies ("The Good Wife"); Kerry Washington ("Scandal"); Robin Wright ("House of Cards")
Likely winners: Wright was a standout as a ruthless political wife on Netflix's "Cards" and likely will take home an Emmy to pair with her Golden Globe.
I'm rooting for: Caplan. She's a seamless fit for complicated sex researcher Virginia Johnson in the Showtime period drama.
Outstanding comedy series
Nominees: "The Big Bang Theory," "Louie," "Veep," "Orange is the New Black," "Modern Family" and "Silicon Valley"
Likely winners: It's a toss-up between "Veep" (HBO) because of its smart and sassy political satire and "Big Bang" (CBS), a perennial crowd-pleaser.
I'm rooting for: "Louie" (FX), because it not only delivers lots of laughs but takes risks; frequently, it's honest to the point of making the viewer uncomfortable.
Outstanding lead actor (comedy)
Nominees: Jim Parsons ("The Big Bang Theory"); Ricky Gervais ("Derek"); Matt LeBlanc ("Episodes"); Don Cheadle ("House of Lies"); Louis C.K. ("Louie"); William H. Macy ("Shameless")
Likely winners: Parsons, who manages to make Sheldon both insufferable and appealing.
I'm rooting for: Louis C.K., whose portrayal of put-upon N.Y. comic and divorced dad Louie can deliver giggles one second and tears the next.
Outstanding lead actress (comedy)
Nominees: Lena Dunham ("Girls"); Edie Falco ("Nurse Jackie"); Julia Louis-Dreyfus ("Veep"); Melissa McCarthy ("Mike & Molly"); Amy Poehler ("Parks & Recreation"); Taylor Schilling ("Orange Is the New Black")
Likely winners: Louis-Dreyfus already has proven an Emmy favorite, and her portrayal of the VP who's dying to be president this season brought guffaws.
I'm rooting for: Amy Poehler. She has been consistently captivating — funny, sweet, touching — season after season of the hilarious "Parks." She has never won an Emmy. Here's hoping this is her year.

Free Download: Brahms's Cello Sonata in E minor
This Week's Free Download
Free Download: Brahms's Cello Sonata in E minor
This week's download is the Allegretto quasi menuetto movement from Brahms's Cello Sonata in E minor, played by cellist Julius Berger and pianist Oliver Kern. It appears on their new CD for Nimbus Records, 'Inspired by Bach', a two-disc programme exploring the legacy and influence of JS Bach's music. The recording features the original four-movement version of Brahms's Sonata, reinstating the Adagio affettuoso more commonly heard in the Second Cello Sonata, but which many musicologists believe belongs to the First.
'Julius Berger has evidently thought long and hard about the most effective way with which to connect Bach's music to some central works in the cello repertory,' writes Erik Levi in the September issue of BBC Music Magazine. 'The solution he has come up with is both imaginative and thought-provoking.'

Police Blotter: 07.08.05
Police officers reported responding to a disturbance about 4 p.m. Thursday in the 2800 block of Elizabeth Street. While the officers were driving, they noticed several people run into a house and a 21year-old man staggering behind them. The 21-year-old man was taken to a local hospital for stab wounds. Police Cmdr. Mike Walsh said there were no arrests in connection with the stabbing. Cmdr. Jesse Garcia said five people, ranging in age from 21 to 65, were arrested on charges of possession of marijuana. Garcia said scales and 3.8 pounds of marijuana were found.

An 18-year-old man told police that on June 11 his home in the 200 block of 11th Street was burglarized. He said when he got home he found all his clothes missing. He said he later saw a 30year-old man walking past his home while wearing some of his clothes. He said he chased the man, and police said both men assaulted each other.
