FORT DRUM — It was a change of pace for the soldiers of the 630th Route Clearance Company, 7th Engineer Battalion, as they trained to breach an enemy compound with explosives Monday afternoon.
Rotations of soldiers, whose work primarily revolves around route clearance, moved toward the compound while shooting and receiving enemy fire. Getting to the compound, small groups of soldiers pressed themselves against an exterior wall at the side of the midsize building and provided security support as others placed linear explosive charges on a barrier at the front of the building.
The soldiers returned to their cover at the structure's side and set off the charges, creating a loud bang that pierced the air and shook the ground. With the barrier cleared, soldiers were able to easily enter and secure the building.
"Send about three people in the room, shoot the enemy, call it clear, come out, done," Spc. Carrington L. Walrath said.
With the building secure, the soldiers fired a flare into the air to let nearby units know they had finished their work.
Combat engineer Sgt. Christopher L. Daley said training exercises like Monday's, done three or four times per year, help expand the soldiers' knowledge as they ready themselves for future conflicts.
"The training we're doing right now, we don't really do overseas, but it's good to know because we're a light infantry unit, and we need to know a lot of different information, a lot of different tasks," he said.
The breaching training also served as an opportunity for soldiers to practice calling for medical assistance through a nine-line Medevac request, which codifies information like type of injury and location to better inform responders of what kind of care a soldier requires.
While making their approach to the compound, the soldiers worked around the possibility of a soldier getting hit by enemy gunfire, requiring them to call in for help.
Sgt. Daley said he also saw the importance of the training in developing the skills of newer soldiers.
"People come and go in the Army, and right now we got a lot of new guys that we got to train up from scratch, from day zero, pretty much, and we got to train them up to the experienced guys," he said.
The route clearance company falls under the 10th Sustainment Brigade, 10th Mountain Division.

TUSD says claims of book ban incorrect
Students from several schools in the Tucson Unified School District walked out in protest of the vote to end Mexican American classes.
Web Producer: Ina Ronquillo
TUCSON (KGUN9-TV) - The Tucson Unified School District has released a statement claiming they have not banned any books as reported by several local blogs.
According to a statement received from TUSD spokeswoman Cara Rene, seven books used as supporting materials for curriculum in Mexican American Studies classes were moved to the district storage facility since classes were suspended as per the ruling by Arizona Superintendent for Public Instruction John Huppenthal. Superintendent Huppenthal upheld an Office of Administration Hearings' ruling that the classes were in violation of state law ARS 15-112.
The books that have been moved to a storage facility by TUSD are as follows:
- Critical Race Theory by Richard Delgado
- 500 Years of Chicano History in Pictures edited by Elizabeth Martinez
- Message to AZTLAN by Rodolfo Corky Gonzales
- Chicano! The History of the Mexican Civil Rights Movement by Arturo Rosales
- Occupied America: A History of Chicanos by Rodolfo Acuna
- Pedagogy of the Oppressed by Paulo Freire
- Rethinking Columbus: The Next 500 Years by Bill Bigelow
TUSD wants to reiterate that none of the above books have been banned by the district. Each book has been boxed and stored as part of the process of suspending the classes. All the books in the list above are still available to students through several school libraries.
The Mexican American Studies classes that were suspended converted last week to standard grade-level courses with a general curriculum featuring multiple perspectives, as per the directive by the state superintendent. TUSD says students are now using traditional textbooks in all their classes.
KGUN9 Reporter Valerie Cavazos reported Friday that teachers were ordered to remove books from classrooms at some high schools within TUSD. The order was received from the Arizona Department of Education as part of the ruling to end Mexican American Studies.

Video evidence clearly shows Cark, a repeat offender, hitting a defenseless receiver in the head well after the play was over. Clark blatantly launched himself at Cruz, who was so badly disoriented thought he injured his ribs on the play.
Video evidence clearly shows Cark, a repeat offender, hitting a defenseless receiver in the head well after the play was over. Clark blatantly launched himself at Cruz, who was so badly disoriented thought he injured his ribs on the play.
Actually he should be reimbursed for being penalized on the play.
Here We Go Steelers, Here We Go...
Here We Go Steelers, Here We Go...
Here We Go Steelers, Here We Go...!!!
AND WHY WON'T THE COMPETITION COMMITTEE MAKE PLAYS LIKE THIS REVIEWABLE ??? Phantom Pass interference calls and Phantom late hits and Phantom blows to the head penalties SEVERELY change the complexion of the game. How does this continue to be un-reviewable?
Even the timid announcers said it yesterday. The penalty for Pass interference, which is often a judgement call, is WAY too severe. You can incorectly get penalized 40, 50 60+ yards for an OUTSTANDING play by a DB such as Lewis last night. It's absurd. Either limit the number of yards for the penalty or make them reviewable.
The Officials should be fined for four blatantly bad calls that have the stench of Roger all over them!!!
#1. Keenan Lewis called for PI on Nicks. KL had perfect coverage, and has been huge reason the Steelers
secondary is playing so well.
#2. Ryan Clark called for Blow to the Head, when it clearly shows Shoulder to Ribs. A phony fricken call to
give the Giants a 1st and Goal.
#3. RB #35 Not crossing the plain of the GL, for a TD.
#4. Ben's incomplete pass ruled as a Fumble Return for TD. This was the WORST CALL EVER!!!!
I was yelling FIX!!!!!!! This game is FIXED!!!! What are we watching, the WWE????
BTW, Bill Levy (Head Referee) was the Referee in SB XL. Whom, about a year or so, said that
he was sorry to the Seahawk fans for "blowing" so many calls the game...What a Douche!!
Some how this team overcame the bad calls, the injuries, and found a way to WIN!!! Huge Win!!!!
The Steeeeelers are the best team in the AFC!!!!
The Pittsburgh Steelers: There is NO other Team!
The Polamalu INT being overturned in the Indy playoff game in 2005 is still the worst call ever...aside from maybe blowing the COIN TOSS in Detroit on Thanksgiving...but this has worked now its way in the discussion.
Final Ruthless Mock:
1.22 CB Marcus Peters, 6'0" 197 lbs., Washington
2.56 FS Damarious Randall, 5'11" 196 lbs., Arizona State
3.87 TE Clive Walford, 6'4" 251 lbs., Miami
4.121 DE Henry Anderson, 6'6" 294 lbs., Stanford
5.160 WR Titus Davis, 6'1" 196 lbs., Central Michigan
6.199 OLB Kyle Emanuel, 6'3" 255 lbs., North Dakota State
6.212c OLB Max Valles, 6'5" 251 lbs., Virginia
7.239 RB John Crockett, 6'0" 217 lbs., North Dakota State
He will be fined but only the minimum.
Fined for what?
The ball was still in the air when he got hit
no, Ryan Clark won't be fined. if he does, it would be a travesty...
They should fine the refs for yesterday's game.

Really, I'm thrilled, as the quality of my regular and sewing life will improve ten fold with this move: my commute will drop from over an hour each way to ten minutes (more sewing time!), I will finally have a dishwasher (more sewing time!), a washer/dryer (easy preshinking!), and a dedicated sewing room (self-explanatory). The appraisal was yesterday, and now we are waiting to set a closing date with the mortgage lender. So if my posting is a little spotty over the rest of the summer, my apologies ahead of time.
While I've been away for a few weeks, I have the most exciting project to show you (are you getting my e-sarcasm?): a beige pencil skirt. Wah wah. It is a terribly boring garment, but as well all know, these utilitarian pieces are wear twice-a-week, wardrobe staples.
The pattern is from the Burda March 2011 issue. The pleats in place of darts add a bit of interest beyond the usual pencil skirt.

Ectopic Pregnancy Biomarkers

- How to Read a Study Record
In an attempt to simplify the diagnosis of ectopic pregnancy, the researchers will investigate the presence of specific molecular markers of ectopic pregnancy. The quantification of these (and other proteins) will be performed using the Ciphergen Protein Chip system where serum is sampled with a high-throughput system. The patterns of these peaks will be compared for those with a diagnosis of ectopic pregnancy and normal pregnancy. Later goals of the research will be to identify the actual proteins that correspond to the peaks which discriminate between the two clinical entitles. The goal is to identify a unique protein pattern or protein peak to distinguish a normal intrauterine pregnancy from that of an ectopic implanted gestation.

Ford Gum and Machine Co., Inc. is the American manufacturer behind the beloved Big League Chew, as well as unique licensed products such as Mike & Ike Bubble Gum, Hot Tamales Sugar Free Gum, and Smarties Gumballs.
The story of Ford Gum began in 1913.
Back then, 20-year-old Ford Mason was a roofing contractor and supplemented his income during the winter months in Buffalo, NY, with gum vending. The first U.S. gum ball machine was invented in 1888, and just a handful of entrepreneurs had ventured into the business.
Ford borrowed money to lease 102 machines and placed them in stores and shops of communities in western New York State. As Ford gained more experience, he was convinced that the penny gum ball could support him. At his peak, Ford had more than 500,000 vending machines perched on store counters and pipe pedestals and a nationwide system of service operators.
Flash forward to 2012.
Ford's legacy lives on at the Ford Gum & Machine Co., which still has a commercial vending business, but gum vending has shifted dramatically.
"At that time, everything vended for a penny. There are no more penny vending machines and the majority of items today are capsules and toys," explains Steve Greene, senior VP of sales and marketing, Ford Gum and Machine Co., Inc. "If you look at an eight rack of vending machines today, you will see two or three that vend candy, one that vends gum, and the rest are toys and capsules."
The majority of Ford Gum's business today is in retail sales—either branded products that the company manufacturers and markets for itself, or private label products Ford Gum manufactures for other marketing concerns.
One of its biggest deals was the 2010 licensing agreement for the Big League Chew brand along with the manufacturing equipment from the Rob Nelson Company.
"This deal brought back the product manufacturing to the United States at the Ford Gum facility in Akron, N.Y., and added 40 new jobs," says Steve.
Big League Chew actually came to market 32 years ago via minor league pitcher Rob Nelson and former New York Yankee All-Star, Jim Bouton. The two met while both pitching for the Portland Mavericks, and created the gum as an alternative to chewing tobacco. Brilliant!
The same pouch that Rob and Jim dreamed up in the Mavericks' bullpen back in 1977, can now be personalized with photos and names at MyBigLeagueChew.com.
Steve says it's a fairly new program for Ford Gum, but he's seeing a lot of pouches customized as wedding and party favors, and used for birthday parties and team functions. ($48 for 12 pack.)
Thinking outside of the pouch, Ford Gum also launched individually wrapped Big League Gumballs and Big League Bubblegum Lollipops at the Sweets & Snacks EXPO in Chicago this past May.
Both products are available in the Big League Chew flavors: Outta Here Original, Grape, Sour Apple, and Watermelon. (This also happens to be the order of best-selling Big League Chew flavors.)
Ford Gum has come a long way since 1913, and we're looking forward to the next chapter in innovative gum products. Bring it on Ford!

PARISHVILLE Students buying lunch at Parishville-Hopkinton Central School will need an extra dime from their parents, as the price of both elementary and high school lunches will increase by 10 cents.
Food Service Manager David Gravlin said the change is a result of federal legislation designed to have the prices districts charge for meals be more in line with federal reimbursement rates.
Mr. Gravlin said there is a formula based on the prices charged by the district this year. After entering the districts information, Mr. Gravlin said he was required to increase the price of lunches 9 cents, but to make things easier and to generate a little extra revenue, he suggested raising them an even a dime.
This year the average lunch increased in cost about 50 cents per meal, he said. They (the federal government) only gave us an increase of 6 cents per meal.
Mr. Gravlin also suggested raising the price of breakfast, which has been untouched for years, from $1 to $1.25.
While this year breakfast was free from the new school food regulations, Mr. Gravlin said next year breakfast will also fall under government regulations.
I anticipate well see those regulations increase the price of food for breakfast, he said.
Even with the increase, board of education member Robert White said he considers school lunches a bargain.

Pacification Operation Undertaken In Favela Near Rio de Janeiro

The favela complex, or shanty town, was previously controlled by drug traffickers and will now be occupied by the city's 35th UPP or 'Police Pacification Unit'.

Then again $48 give you one premium sub + 5 invites (pseudo 6 accounts total) + spawning servers whenever and wherever you want in the world. Tell me 1 (one) game of this business model ("freemium" or "subscription based) that is cheaper than QL and/or that gives more to non-paying players the minute they join the game. I'm telling you there is none, but Q3/QL players are used to pirating everything.
About pricing, what I'm saying is the exact opposite. A pro sub gives you hundreds if not thousands of dollars worth of benefits, for just $48. You just didn't know.
Well we had events with tens of thousands of people watching QL, you just didn't know, and "e-sports" don't work like you said: it's not about them being legendary (otherwise QW would be the hottest thing) but it is all (and I mean all) about marketing and sponsorship. There's simply no much money nor players involved (both as in millions) in QL so everything is community-made and it achieved remarkable things in QL (it made to eurosports ffs).
And there are about 4m accounts. You won't find many games with that many, or many games with that many active players (lets say 50k to be on the safe side) that are this old (1999) or that much alive competition wise (including online and offline tournaments QL and how prizes are distributed [1v1 instead of 5v5], Q3 and QL have always been ahead CS. You just didn't know.).
And like ShaZe (with a Z) said, if you can't afford $2 or $24 then there's something very wrong and hf with spending money in other hobbies (hint: nothing is free in life). $24 is absurdly cheap for a year's worth of entertainment but you complain like it was a life or death situation instead of just paying.

Neatly combining the topics of a number of my previous posts, namely the surveillance society, computer games, and Foucault, a new Internet 'game' is about to be launched that enables members of the public to win cash prizes by spotting criminals in 'real-life' video surveillance footage.
Although the United Kingdom has one of the highest proportion of video surveillance cameras in the world, the sheer amount of footage generated currently means that any criminals filmed are unlikely to be observed by any human camera operator, thereby escaping detection.
As described in Foucault's book 'Discipline and Punish', this new scheme mirrors the design of Bentham's 'Panopticon', a proposed prison in which inmates are potentially under constant observation, yet are unaware whether they are actually being observed at any particular moment. Consequently, those under surveillance must behave as if their every action is observed, thereby subjecting themselves to discipline instead of having it forced upon them, and so becoming the instruments of their own control.
The widespread connectivity provided by the Internet similarly enables numerous members of the public to co-operate in tackling somewhat more altruistic large-scale projects, exemplified by the collaboratively produced encyclopedia Wikipedia. Likewise, the open-source software movement is able to work together to develop free alternatives to commercial products, despite being geographically distributed. These include operating systems, office productivity suites, web-browsers, and for those of you currently involved in academic writing, reference managers.
This use of human 'distributed processing' mirrors the design of super-computers, in which a large number of relatively low-powered processors concurrently tackle small sub-parts of a much larger and more complex task. Once again, the Internet can be key in facilitating the necessary interconnections, as illustrated by the SETI@home project, where members of the public donate the spare computing power of their home PC to help the search for extra-terrestrial life.

AKWESASNE - Hundreds of residents rallied, marched and chanted during an event this week on the St. Regis Mohawk Reservation to speak out against sexual assault - an issue that some acknowledge is still a problem in the community but is better addressed through counseling, support programs and shelters for victims.
The Walk a Mile in her Moccasins event drew close to 150 men, women and children, some of them wearing mocassins and most holding teal balloons and donning teal shirts, given out by organizers of the march. Teal is the color for sexual assault awareness, and April is sexual assault awareness month. The event was organized by the tribes social services division, Three Sisters Program, Konon:kwe Council and Act Now.
Its too bad that some people pretend it (sexual assault) is not happening, but its good people here raise awareness and say you can get help, said Akwesasne resident Hilde Barnes, who took part in the march. Around here there are pretty good programs to try to make people aware of the problem and to try to find solutions for it. (Sexual assault) seems to be a problem everywhere.
The teal procession assembled at the St. Regis Mohawk School, marched up Church Street, turned left down Route 37 and ended at a shelter at the Tekakwitha walking trail, where marchers had refreshments and listened to speakers, some from Three Sisters, a program to help victims of sexual assault, who reminded participants of what they offer to help victims.
Marchers chanted and sang as they walked, some hanging teal balloons from lacrosse or walking sticks. As the parade entered Tekakwitha walking trail, they were greeted by a members of the Northern Sky Warriors stickball team, who clapped together their stickball sticks. A man identifying himself as Lead Horse said this was symbolic of Mohawk tradition, where they traveled with the women on the inside and the warriors on the outside, in order to protect the women.
Its great to see this turnout. Its a great visualization for the community and the support we have for each other, said Randi Rourke Barreiro of the Konon:kwe Council, a group that seeks to empower women in the Mohawk community.
After munching on donuts and hearing messages of empowerment from Three Sisters members, marchers were offered a brutal, heart-breaking look into the damage caused by sexual abuse and and how it can lead into a vicious cycle of physical abuse, substance abuse and self-destruction. Nionataa came forward to relate how abuse from her step-father from an early age led her into a severe depression and feelings of self-worthlessness by her teens.
Eventually St. Regis Mohawk Tribal Police responded to a domestic violence call, while she was defending herself from her abusive step-father, which led to her being taken from her mothers home. But, sadly, the abuse didnt end there. Nionataas past abuse led her into a cycle of alcoholism and finding love in the wrong people, which led to several relationships with abusive men.
I felt like I was a broken person. Youre a victim - thats why you need this, she said. I was always blaming me. I had to learn it wasnt my fault.
Finally, with the help of local counseling programs and shelter houses, Nionataa was able to clean up and break the cycle of abuse. Her story was a powerful reminder of how abuse victims often blame themselves, of the addictive nature of her mistakes and of the long-lasting impact of scars caused by abuse from an early age.
She urged participants to seek support, and have a zero-tolerance policy toward abuse. Reach out and get what help you can, she said. One hit, one slap is bad enough.

Reasons or Excuses?
Generally on Thursdays the Jets coordinators speak with the press and Tony Sparano was asked about why the Jets can't seem to find a spot for their wrinkle package, the Wildcat.
Sparano said Thursday he has a package of around 15 plays in the game plan each week for Tebow. He keeps them separate on his play-call sheet. But there have been a few reasons why Tebow has not been used for more than 12 plays in a game and it's usually around 7.
"You get into some games where … Indianapolis, New England where we're running it pretty good and doing some decent things and you just don't go to all those plays," Sparano said. "At the same time, games like the Miami game where we had to be in up-tempo for a lot of the time … That's not a place to be shuffling people in and out at that point. We had to get as many plays snapped as we could to get into the game."
Brian Bassett, TheJetsBlog.comI don't really get what Sparano's point is, but I get the sense that there's a few situations in which using or not using the Wildcat would be applicable (or not) from his comments.
1) The offense is humming along and working well on it's own, not needing the added wrinkle of the Wildcat
2) The offense is playing catch up and to get back into the game, the Wildcat will only detract from the rhythm
So if those situations are when it won't work, is there an implied situation when it would?
3) When the offense is ahead and looking to break tendencies to keep their opponent on their toes
Of course when they've been faced with those instances (Bills, Colts) they didn't use the Wildcat there either.
What I do gather from Sparano's comments is that the Wildcat breaks rhythm and is only effective in a narrow set of circumstances that are of his discretion, which he seems unwilling to spell out. To me, the Jets are just making excuses for using or not using a package they talked up all offseason. Instead of worrying about rhythm or being ahead or behind, they need to think about the Wildcat more game-plan specifically.
The Wildcat is great to slow down the pass rush of opposing teams. The Wildcat is a great way to help establish a running game by adding an extra blocker to the party in favor of the offense and getting the quarterback out of the backfield. The Jets need to think about that and how that applies to their offense, not whether or not they are ahead or behind. The Wildcat CAN be used well and I do think that Tebow is a great part of the personnel if they use him to run the ball and throw to threaten the safeties. But since the coaches are unwilling to do that, they're going to be stuck in this paradigm until they snap out of it.

On the welcome page of the dictionary, four major sections are shown: Normal tissues, Cancer, Cell structure and Protein expression. Below the image of each section are links to introductory texts for i) normal tissue histology, ii) hallmarks of cancer, and iii) cell structure overview. For the cancer-section there is also a link to current cancer statistics (incidence, survival, etc) for Sweden and the rest of the world. Below the Protein expression section there is a list of genes with links to examples of different protein expression patterns. Within each section there are direct links to histology descriptions of different tissue types and tumor forms as well as descriptions of cell structures.
For the 'Tissue & cell types' and 'Tumors' sections, tissue-slides stained with hematoxylin and eosin (HE) are shown at three different levels of magnification. On the top level, an overview of the whole tissue-sample is shown with boxes in black indicating where zoomed-in representative parts of the tissue are available for viewing. Clicking on these boxes will zoom in on that part to show tissue structures, cells and features in greater detail. Throughout these sections, arrows indicate relevant tissue structures, cell-types and other features.
For the 'Cell structure' section, immunofluorescent images of formaldehyde-fixed cell lines are shown. The various cell structures that are demonstrated are always shown in the green channel using an antibody found in the Human Protein Atlas. The antibody name is linked to the subcellular location summary page of the target gene. The other channels: nucleus, microtubules and endoplasmic reticulum, are always shown in the blue, red and yellow channels, respectively. The channels can be toggled on and off by clicking on the respective coloured button above the image. When applicable, the immunofluorescent images are complemented by immunohistochemically stained cells where the location of the particular cell structure is shown in brown.
For the 'Protein expression' section, tissue slides representing both normal and cancer tissue have been stained using immunohistochemistry to visualize various protein expression patterns. Antibodies have been selected to demonstrate the expression patterns of well-known proteins and to reflect antibodies used in clinical diagnostics to determine the nature of a given cancer. For certain antibodies the corresponding protein expression pattern is shown in both normal and cancer tissues. For each exemplified protein there is a short descriptive text including also the clinical usefulness of the corresponding antibody.
A common feature for all sections is that a general descriptive text about the tissue, tumor-type, cell structure or protein/antibody is provided when browsing a particular topic.
Vesicle is a collective name for a number of different, small membrane-bound organelles that may move things (cargo) around in the cell, between other organelles, or release it to the cell?s exterior.
Peroxisomes use molecular oxygen (O2) to oxidize organic substances, forming hydrogen peroxide as a by-product. Hydrogen peroxide can then be used by the enzyme catalase to oxidize other substrates, e.g. phenols and alcohol. A major function of the peroxisome is the breakdown of fatty acid molecules.
Early endosomes are the main sorting stations in the endocytic pathway. They are formed when a part of the plasma membrane is budding in with material that has been taken up from the exterior (endocytosis). The endosome can then move the material to the same or other parts of the plasma membrane. It can also fuse with a lysosome, thus degrading it.
Lysosomes are filled with hydrolytic enzymes and are responsible for degrading molecules within the cell. They can fuse with late endosomes, creating something called endolysosomes, degrading the material within the endosome.
Vesicle staining can usually be seen as small, bright dots or circles that are uniform in size and shape. Their distribution in the cytosol varies depending on the type of vesicle: endosomes are usually located close to the nucleus and the Golgi apparatus, whereas peroxisomes are spread throughout the cell. Lysosomes are the larger of the three vesicle types and more densely stained. They are often located close to the Golgi apparatus.

In the years I've used linux, it never ceases to amaze me the nifty little programs that have somehow escaped my linux experience. Then, I find out about them, and have to ask "Why the hell didn't someone smack me for not using this earlier?" For example, I just discovered screen the other day. I really like screen now. Very nice! Another example. IPTables. SOMEONE REALLY NEEDS TO SMACK ME FOR THAT ONE! I was on an ipchains kernel up til two weeks ago.. Stateful firewalling is such a wonderful thing. I can have a wet dream just thinking about it.
So, I decided to try some of this QoS stuff. Well, it's half a success now. Limiting uploads and doing some other stuff has yielded nice results. Policing downloads has had less success -- for now I'm just using the "Nobody is going to send me anything at 1800 consistently, not likely anyway." approach. Works for now anyway. While maxxing my upload I still get pings as low as 50ms. Browsing is snappy. I'm a happy camper.

When you know, you know!
Taylor Lautner and girlfriend Lily Collins knew right away they'd hit it off. "You can feel some sort of chemistry or a connection when you are reading a script with someone for the first time. And that was totally the case with Lily," he told Seventeen magazine's October issue.
VIDEO: Watch Taylor strip down in "Eclipse"
The actor, 19, also opened up about his five-year-plan. "I guess winning an Oscar is the ultimate dream," he said. "A lot of amazing actors go their whole career without even being nominated. So that would definitely be a goal to reach. It's a difficult one, but I'm aiming for it!"
PHOTOS: "Twilight's" shirtless hunks
When the "Twilight" hunk had to decide whether his "Abduction" costar and real-life love Collins would make a better "Snow White" than his "Breaking Dawn" costar Kristen Stewart, he answered diplomatically. (Stewart, 21, will star in Universal's "Snow White and the Huntsman," while Collins, 22 will play the lead in an as of yet untitled version of the fairy tale.)
PHOTOS: Breaking Dawn sneak peek!
"Kristen's going to be cool and edgy and dark," he told reporters last month at the VMAs, as excerpted by the Hollywood Reporter. "It's gonna be something new for her, and I think that's really exciting... [But] Lily's gonna be great too. And a completely different feel."

Morgans to motor for Marfan syndrome
When they learned of the serious health concerns of 12-year-old Lucy Morris, daughter of Morgan Motor Company operations director Steve Morris, two dedicated Morgan owners decided to rally to her aid, and to the aid of all who suffer from the connective tissue disorder known as Marfan syndrome.
Andy Abbosh and Simon Murphy are the Morgan owners who created the Driven At Heart charity run, which will take place from Sunday, May 5, to Sunday, May 19. Andy and Simon have been joined by Steve Morris and by Morgan finance director Tim Whitworth – as well as fellow Morgan owners John Richards and Brian Voakes – and they'll drive a jaunty 3 Wheeler, a traditional Plus 4, Roadster and Plus 8 as well as a stunning Aero SuperSports from the factory in Malvern, England, all the way to Nordkapp, Norway, in the Arctic Circle.
Specific details on the route of this 14-day, nine-country, 5,000-mile journey have just been released; the purpose of this Driven At Heart driving event is to raise awareness for Marfan syndrome, and raise money for The Marfan Trust UK, an organization that enables the medical research that will ultimately find a cure for this disease: they've set a fundraising goal of £50,000, or roughly $76,250. The Driven At Heart team members are funding the trip from their private finances, so all donations received will go directly to The Marfan Trust UK.
You can "like" Driven At Heart on Facebook and watch Steve Morris and Tim Whitworth discuss the disease and what they hope to accomplish on Morgan's own Marfan Trust page.

Hank Silverberg, wtop.com
WASHINGTON – The Loudoun County Board of Supervisors is taking action against one of its own members after allegations surfaced that he misappropriated county funds.
Supervisor Eugene Delgaudio will not receive any committee assignments for 2013, which will diminish his role on the board.
DelGaudio, R-Sterling, is under investigation for allegedly using his county-paid staffer for campaign fundraising on county time. He has claimed the money was for a youth football league.
County Democrats continue to criticize Board Chairman Scott York for not acting sooner on the allegations, which first surfaced 10 months ago.

Michael Crichton's State of Confusion
Dr Hansen is further quoted (a little out-of-context) saying: "The forcings that drive long term climate change are not known with an accuracy sufficient to define future climate change". Given the discussion above it is clear that without good estimates of the actual forcings, the differences in the model projections can be large. It is widely accepted that exact prediction of what will happen to climate in 50 or 100 years is impossible. Much of the future is of course unknowable. A new energy source could replace fossil fuels, governments could control emissions, or maybe a series of huge volcanoes will erupt. Therefore it is much more sensible to ask, what would climate be like if you doubled CO2? or if this or that scenario occurred. These are much better defined questions. Hansen's quote is often taken to imply that models are so unreliable they are useless in helping assess the issue. In fact it is the opposite – Hansen is actually claiming that the uncertainty in models (for instance, in the climate sensitivity) is now less than the uncertainty in the emissions scenarios (i.e. it is the uncertainty in the forcings, that drives the uncertainty in the projections).
Continuing to p315, it is claimed that "in the 1970's all the climate scientists believed an ice age was coming" (and, as described on p563, the MIT academic apparently still thinks so). However, this is not an accurate statement and William Connolley's pages on the subject are an illuminating read for those wanting more details.
Another issue that often comes up in discussion about the surface temperature record is the impact of the Urban Heat Island Effect (UHIE), and here it appears on p370. It is undisputed that the centres of cities such as New York are significantly warmer than the surrounding countryside. This issue has been extensively studied and is corrected for in all analyses of the global temperature trends. To see whether there might still be a residual effect in the corrected data, a recent paper (Parker, Nature, 2004) looked at the differences in the trends if you looked separately at windy and not-so-windy conditions. Wind is known to diminish the impact of urban heating, and so the trends on windy days should be less than trends on still days if this was important. The trends actually end up almost exactly the same. Other validating data for the corrected surface temperature record comes from the oceans, which have also been warming in recent decades. Even Richard Lindzen , normally an arch-skeptic on these issues, stated that "ocean temperature increases present some support for the surface temperature record" Lindzen (2002). Another demonstration that the corrections are sufficient is that over the continental US, where many cities have a clear urban heating signal, the mean of the corrected data is actually rather flat (p88) – i.e. none of the strong urban biases in the US has made it into the regional or indeed global mean.

Comments about Vibram FiveFingers Spyridon (Women's):
I love fivefingers! These are my first and only pair, but will be getting another pair, most likely the classics, in the near future. As of now, I wear these shoes for basic daily activity, but am looking forward to wear them hiking and rafting. Just by wearing these shoes as daily striders, I've noticed a difference in my back pain and my feet alone. It does take a little bit to get use to them, so don't expect to slide right in and feel immediate effects. You need to give yourself time to conform to the shoes, but they are worth it when you do! When I first received mine, I felt that maybe they were too small, however next size up was too big. BUT by just wearing them a couple times, I'm confident that I bought the right size.

Celebrate 30 years at Ashley's with special events and commemorative malt forward brown ale
We are marking an important milestone in the Ann Arbor and Michigan craft beer community with a special brew along with some exceptional events at Ashley's.
The recipe for Ashley's 30th Anniversary Ale was written by Larry Bell and inspired by the month of February – a time of year when a little comfort goes a long way.
It is also a nod to a time when both Ashley's and Bell's first got their start and beers were much more malt driven rather than hop focused.
The aroma is full of toasted and caramel malts along with dark fruit notes, lightly balanced by a touch of herbal hops in the background.
Nine specialty grains lend a broad range of toasty, biscuit and bittersweet flavors matched to a deep caramel character.
This very drinkable and limited brown ale is available only on draft and exclusively at Ashley's – both in Ann Arbor and Westland. The first keg will be tapped at 3 p.m. on Feb. 1 in Ann Arbor with a celebratory toast at 6 p.m.
Here's to another thirty!

OGDENSBURG The city of Ogdensburg received good news on Thursday with the announcement that ACCO Brands will move most of its manufacturing and distribution operations in Brampton, Ontario, to its distribution center here.
Were consolidating it in one place, ACCO spokesman Richard Nelson said Friday. This is very good news for Ogdensburg.
More jobs are possible at the companys 300,000-square-foot distribution center at 941 ACCO Way, starting with calling back laid-off workers, the company said.
The Illinois-based company, which makes three-ring binders, folders and document covers, said it will close the Brampton plant, eliminating 95 hourly and 30 salaried jobs there. An additional 70 office jobs will be transferred to an ACCO-owned Mead office supply facility in Mississaugua, Ontario.
But the consolidation also comes at the expense of the town of Oswegatchie, where the company has had a presence since 1946. ACCO Brands said it will move the manufacturing operations of its 140,000-square-foot plant to the Ogdensburg distribution center. That will put 140 employees under one roof.
They called me a couple of days ago and told me about it, said Town Supervisor Alfred Bud Nichols. This wont be good news for us.
Mr. Nichols said he hopes the building, which is assessed at $1,465,000, will be marketed for future use.
The consolidating of the manufacturing and distribution operations work will begin immediately and is expected to be completed by January.
ACCO Executive Vice President Thomas W. Tedford on Thursday called the plan a design to position the company to continue to support the Canadian and U.S. businesses in a more efficient and cost-effective manner, and enhance future business potential.
City leaders welcomed the announcement.
Its good news if youre keeping jobs in the north country, Mayor William D. Nelson said.
We are grateful that ACCO has seen fit to expand its Ogdensburg operation, said Ogdensburg City Manager John M. Pinkerton. The city applauds ACCO for continuing its legacy of producing products in the north country and distributing them throughout the world. ACCO proves that manufacturing in the United States is a viable option for those who are innovative and creative enough to compete with anybody in the world.
ACCO Brands is being assisted on the project by the St. Lawrence County Industrial Development Agency. The agency is providing assistance in the form of a sales tax exemption for equipment purchases and infrastructure improvements, and reimbursement for training expenses.
When a globally recognized company like ACCO chooses to bring more operations and more jobs to St. Lawrence County, it speaks volumes for the local workforce and for this areas ability to compete in todays challenging economic environment, said Patrick J. Kelly, chief executive officer of the St. Lawrence County IDA. ACCO has a long history in Ogdensburg, and we are extremely pleased that they continue to find ways to benefit from our strategic border location.
Mr. Kelly added that St. Lawrence County provided the IDA with an allocation from its Tribal State Compact Funds for training local workers, and that a portion of the funds is being used to assist in this project.
The county had the vision to recognize that training funds can be very important as companies work to retain and add workers, and federal resources for these programs have been drastically reduced, he said. By providing Tribal Compact funds, the county has enabled us to assist in projects like this, and we are seeing the benefit from their investment.

Sharing Memories (Week 15 of 52): The Milkman Cometh
I found myself thinking about the milkman last week. Did you have milk delivery as a child? We did. I loved hearing the clang clang clang of the milk bottles (glass of course) hitting the edge of the wire basket as the milkman hurried up our driveway. He always drove standing up in a white truck which I'm guessing was refrigerated, but I don't recall the company name. He wore a white uniform with a little white hat or cap.
There was a little cubby-hole in the wall by the front door. It had two doors, one on the inside, one on the outside. My mother would leave money and a note saying how much milk she needed and the milkman would open the outside door and retrieve it. He left the full milk bottles on the front steps. What a great system!
Every Saturday Mother ordered one quart of chocolate milk. Oh how we loved that special day! But with four children in the house, one quart didn't go far. I don't like chocolate but as a child I eagerly drank my share of chocolate milk. Mind you my gorging on that small glass of chocolate milk was always followed by a severe migraine!
Do you remember milk delivery? I think it ended in our village by the late 1950s.

I grew up in South Jersey (New Jersey) in the 1940's. We lived in the upstairs (apartment) of a house in which our landlord lived downstairs. There was an outer door that led to a stairway up to our level and an inner door there. The milkman from Bishop's dairies would deliver right to our inner door. The quart milk bottles had paper tabs like you described, but they also had an overwrap, perhaps of cellophane (?) around the top and neck of the bottle. They offered "pasteurized" milk (with the cream on top), but they also had "homogenized" which had the cream mixed through. They also had other products such as heavy cream, cottage cheese, and orange ade. Our regular milkman was Mr. Johnson.
We lived in a small town that was something between rural and suburban. This was a small local dairy and I went to high school with the daughter of one of the owners.
We also had bread and pastries delivered to our door by Dugan's Bakeries and the Beverly Cleaners stopped by weekly to pick up and drop off our dry cleaning.

That's a really great, classic memory. I never had a milkman, but my mother used to tell me about the "iceman." My in-laws actually still have a milkman- he leaves the milk not on their front steps, but in a wooden box-area in front of their home.

During my elementary years, our family lived in suburban Pittsburgh. What a convenience it was having fresh Harmony Dairy products delivered to our door! My mother would jot down her order and clip it onto the clothespin attached to the side of our metal milk box. Besides serving as the convenient place to get our morning milk, it also was just the right size for me to sit while watching for the mailman. My mother ordered milk, cream, butter, cottage cheese, and ice cream. My favorite request was for the occasional treats of chocolate milk and orangeade. Since we were a one-car family in the '50's, as most families were, milk delivery was an essential luxury. I don't remember seeing the milk truck or the milkman because of the early hours he kept but I knew that the box would be full in time for breakfast.

I live in a suburb of Chicago - and we still have mild delivery. I believe that Oberweis delivers to most of the suburbs. It comes in glass bottles with the hand-hold indentations in the bottle - and they put the milk in a igloo type cooler on our front porch. It is more expensive, but I realized that we always ran out of milk when the stores were closed and we had to buy at the gas station. That milk never lasted long. This milk is VERY fresh! We started when the kids were still on bottles - last one is going off to college, so we'll probably stop this year. They also offer a bunch of other products too.
We also have dry cleaning pick-up and delivery. We also have lawn-mower or snow blower pick-up, serviced and returned service. I'm thinking that we are very spoiled! But I love it!
- Marie said...
I still have a milkman and still have milk delivered to my door almost every day - quantity and number of days depends on how many teengers are there!
I still love opening the door in the morning to see the milk delivery, although last week a bird got to one carton before we did! Haven't seen that in years!
- Marie said...
We still have a milkman near Edinburgh, Scotland.
Quantity delivered depends on how many teenagers there are. Still love collecting the milk from the front door in the morning. Last week a bird got there before we did - haven't had that problem in years!

From Golden, Colorado in the 50's we had milk delivery from a choice of dairies, one boasted a Guernsey herd,another a Holstein. The butterfat was richer in the Guernsey. The milk would often freeze on delivery, with up to a two inch column of expanded, frozen milk topping the bottles. The bottles had an indentation with a bulb top, and we had a special spoon that could be inserted to divert the top cream portion to be poured off and either whipped for desserts, or saved for coffee. Yum!!

My maternal grandfather was a deliveryman for Alewell's Dairy in Penetanguishene Ontario during the 1930's and 40's. I don't remember him as I wasn't born yet, but I've heard stories of his delivery days (with a team of horses) and many locals still remember my grandfather delivering milk back then. The horses knew the route by heart, and often, at the end of the rounds, my grandfather would have to run to keep up with the horses as they reached their last stops, knowing that the warm stable and a bucket of oats awaited them!
