KEYE TV News Tests the F1 Shuttles For You
Updated: Friday, November 16 2012, 04:44 PM CST
KEYE TV News checked out the two major shuttle bus routes to the Formula 1 race site.
You can pick up the shuttle at the north end of the State Capitol Complex on Trinity St at 17th Street or at the Travis County Expo Center. We recommend the Expo Center if you're driving to the shuttle bus because there is PLENTY of on FREE on-site parking.
The downtown site has quicker boarding lines, but immediate parking is limited to paid parking in the state garages. The shuttle buses begin their runs each morning at 7 a.m. and end 3 and a half hours after the conclusion of the day's racing event.

In August, the staff at one of AIL's centers let us know that they are in need of new sewing machines. The machines that are used in class are simple in design so that the staff, as necessary, can easily repair them. Unfortunately, four of these machines have broken beyond repair. While the women in class usually share the sewing machines, there are now more women using each machine making learning difficult. Providing the center with new sewing machines will solve this problem.
What is the issue, problem, or challenge?
After years of repairing the sewing machines, several of the sewing machines have reached the end of their usefulness and need to be replaced.
How will this project solve this problem?
This project will provide AIL with the funds necessary to replace the broken sewing machines and continue to offer high quality classes in sewing and tailoring.
Potential Long Term Impact
Women learn to save money they would have spent on clothes to purchase a sewing machine and start a small business. Course graduates sew their families' clothes, start a home-based business, and/or become sewing teachers.
Funding Information
Total Funding Received to Date: $350
Funding Information
This project is now in implementation and no longer available for funding. Received funds will be used to accomplish concrete objectives as indicated in the project's "Activities" section. Updates will be posted under the "Project Report" tab as they become available.
Donors' contributions and pledges to this project totaled $350 . The original project funding goal was $350.
Microproject Disclaimer
Every microproject is intended to use the donations it receives in accordance with its stated description; however, it is important to provide project leaders with the flexibility to maximize the potential benefit from the donations they receive. This means that your donation may be used as a part of the main project that supports this microproject, specifically Tailoring: A Small-Business Skill for Afghan Women. In this event, the project leader is required to post an update to the microproject detailing the results and reasons behind this change.

Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia: Calcium Channels as Therapeutic Targets
- Full Text View

- How to Read a Study Record
This study will test the ability of extended release nifedipine (Procardia XL), a blood pressure medication, to permit a decrease in the dose of glucocorticoid medication children take to treat congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH).
Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia
Drug: Nifedipine
Phase 1
Phase 2
|Study Type:
|Study Design:
|Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment
Masking: Double-Blind
Primary Purpose: Treatment
This protocol is designed to assess both acute and chronic effects of the calcium channel antagonist, nifedipine, on the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis in patients with congenital adrenal hyperplasia. The multicenter trial is composed of two phases and will involve a double-blind, placebo-controlled parallel design. The goal of Phase I is to examine the ability of nifedipine vs. placebo to decrease adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) levels, as well as to begin to assess the dose-dependency of nifedipine effects. The goal of Phase II is to evaluate the long-term effects of nifedipine; that is, can attenuation of ACTH release by nifedipine permit a decrease in the dosage of glucocorticoid needed to suppress the HPA axis? Such a decrease would, in turn, reduce the deleterious effects of glucocorticoid treatment in CAH.

News: MLB Satisfied with Oliver Perez's Injury
Major League Baseball has cleared the placement of Oliver Perez on the disabled list, and will not pursue reversing the roster move.
Original Post, 8:29 am:
According to the Daily News, MLB will review the MRI of Oliver Perez's knee, taken before he was put on the 15-day disabled list.
…initially, i assumed this was a formality… but, i've since heard from two people who work for MLB who say this is a serious investigation, not a formality, and there is a chance the transaction gets reversed… which would be horrible… hopefully, MLB finds what they need, everything is legit, and life goes on as is…
Jerry Manuel said last weekend that Perez approached the Mets about knee pain last Friday, the day before team needed to clear a roster spot to activate Jon Niese.
He then visited with a team doctor, had an MRI, was diagnosed with tendinitis, put on the disabled list and has since traveled to Florida to begin his rehab.

What's YOUR Ultimate Movie Party idea? Dream up the biggest and best cinematic bash. Submit your ideas and you could win your party thrown for FREE with 50 of your friends!
We love movies. It's just a natural fact. It's a fact nearly as natural that we love parties. And there is a certain kind of magic when these mutual loves come together in our theaters. It's a time when we can come together in celebration of those movies we can never get enough of. Add in themed food, drinks, and obsessive little details, and you've got a blow-out that can be like Christmas, Halloween, and New Year's all rolled up into one.
We've thrown a lot of movie parties over the years, but now we are looking for YOUR ideas. We want to know: What's your ULTIMATE MOVIE PARTY?
It's simple: You dream up your ULTIMATE MOVIE PARTY idea. We make it happen.
Is there a personal favorite you've always thought was just begging to be screened? Always wanted to have an End-of-The-World party with ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK AND live brawling on stage? The MUSIC MAN with a live marching band? STAND BY ME with a blueberry pie-eating contest?
It's YOUR ULTIMATE MOVIE PARTY. That means YOU choose all the elements: What's on screen, the food, the drink, the props and all the other special nuances -- EVERYTHING! The events team at the Alamo will do everything in our power to facilitate your cinematic whims.
Five finalists and one Grand Prize will be chosen per city. Each of the Grand Prize winners get their party thrown FOR FREE and can invite up to FIFTY of their close personal friends to attend!
Visit the ULTIMATE PARTY TAB on Facebook for rules, details, and to submit your idea. Deadline for submissions is Feb 20, 2013.
Need a little inspiration? Check out the current offerings from our Private and Community Events Department. Looking for your specific city? Just click away: Austin, Houston, San Antonio, Winchester or Kansas City.
*The fine print: Finalists will be chosen by the Alamo programming and events teams. Parties submitted are subject to film/theatrical rights availability, must take place inside an Alamo Drafthouse Cinema location (i.e. no Rolling Roadshow outdoor or off-site screenings), and will be subject to minor modifications to ensure we can actually make it happen. Also, please, no parties centered on celebrity guests. Hey, we all want to hang out with Kurt Russell … but he's a really busy guy… and it would probably cost a small fortune in travel expenses.

F@#k it, I'm toasted. The last two weeks have been a planning-meeting and vacation-catch-up hell. I can feel the carpel tunnel creeping into my digits and a faint soreness slipping into my mouse-moving shoulder. But I don't want your sympathy. In fact, I'd prefer you dish me quite the opposite and call me a punk (or some more expletive-filled word) if you see me this weekend. You see, while the life of a ski/beer editor does mandate a bit of desk time, it's nowhere near as taxing as just about every job shy of trustafarian. I'm prone to get whiny when things aren't going perfectly, and it takes the likes of a hardworking desk jockey in a "REAL" job to slap the smug punkness off my face. Please, if you see me, HIT HARD.
But in the meantime, to self medicate I'm going to crush an Icey. P. A., a beer that was so graciously gifted to me by my friends at Icelantic Skis. I've been saving it for a moment just like this, a time when I need a stiff malt beverage. Brewed as a limited-edition collaboration brewski between Oskar Blues Brewery and Icelantic Skis, Icey. P. A. exudes all the pungent hoppy deliciousness I've come to expect from Oskar Blues beer. It's sweet and dry up front, but it finishes resiny with nice citrus and piney hop bite. It's not quite as aggressive as Oskar's other IPA, Deviant Dales, but it's plenty for the average hop connoisseur. It's available at some Front Range Old Chicago restaurants. Go out and get yourself one.
You'll notice, loyal BOTW readers, that this Beer of the Week has arrived a day early. That's because immediately upon posting this BOTW, I'm heading home, packing my bags, and hopping on an early flight to Utah to catch this upcoming storm. See. There I go again. Yet another reason I should never be allowed to be a whiny ass punk. Please refer to slapping instructions above. Have a nice weekend everybody.
For more information check out Oskar Blues Brewing Company and Icelantic.
P.S. In three weeks, Macklemore and Ryan Lewis will be headlining Icelantic's second Winter on the Rocks concert. It's going to be awesome. If you're in Denver, don't miss it.

A Chevrolet Blazer lies upside down in a field after the vehicle left the roadway Tuesday afternoon near the Hiawatha Junction on Utah State Road 10 in southern Carbon County.
Utah Highway Patrol troopers at the accident scene attributed the minor injuries incurred by the unidentified driver and a child passenger to the fact that the woman was buckled up and the youngster was restrained in a properly installed car seat. It appeared that the southbound vehicle left the wet roadway after a thunderstorm had passed the area.
UHP Sgt. John Kelly encouraged Carbon County motorists to travel at reduced speeds during and immediately after rainstorms because wet road conditions can cause vehicles to hydroplane.

WinMil Fabrics in Boston had a rainbow of colors of silk charmeuse: I picked up a cream (goes with everything!) and a super-happy bright yellow.
I've never worked with silk charmeuse, and may have to underline so they're not too slick to work with. Though it'd be such a luxury to have these against my skin...
The middle fabric is a 100% silk by the designer Milly from Metro Textiles in New York. I just love the equestrian-esque print, and in my favorite colors - neutrals.
I've finally decided to become a big girl sewer and begin using "real" (i.e. non-JoAnn Fabrics) interfacing. I purchased a few yards from Emma One Sock - Linda advised that this is interfacing that designers work with. I'm excited to use it. While at the (online) store, I couldn't resist throwing a few bolts into my (online) cart. The fabric on the left is a crosshatch print silk/cotton in lovely olivey-tones (now sold out, but looks like new colors in this print were added yesterday). I thought the colors were rather unusual and not often seen in RTW. The fabric on the right is a sheer rose print silk by designer Thakoon.
Both of these will need to be underlined because they are rather sheer, especially the Thakoon silk.
I have a few shell patterns in my stash: Simplicity 2599, McCall 5977, and McCall 5661.

- Overview
Premium Image Quality in a Compact Camera.
Unleash your creative side with the Olympus XZ-10. Designed for those who want the quality of an SLR in a high-end point-and-shoot format, this camera provides a new, easy-to-use outlet for artistic expression. With the XZ-10 you'll capture high-quality still images and HD videos in any shooting environment thanks to its fast, super-bright, built-in Olympus iZuiko lens and its large, super-sensitive CMOS sensor.
Superior Bright, Super Fast f1.8 to 2.7 Lens
The iZuiko f1.8-2.7 4.7 – 23.5mm (26-130mm equivalent angle of view in 35mm cameras) digital lens is a 5x compact version of the legendary, high-quality ZUIKO Digital lenses featured with Olympus DSLRs. With a maximum aperture of f1.8 at wide-angle and f2.7 at telephoto, this lens assures fast shutter speeds for sharp low-light images. This aperture range also allows photographers to take portraits that highlight the subject by defocusing the background, a capability not possible in most compact cameras. The lens is specifically designed for clear, high-quality photographic performance with minimal ghosting or flare.

Based on the standards of Olympus DSLR lenses, the wide aperture of the iZuiko f1.8-2.7 allows a rich and vibrant range of photographic expression. It allows faster shutter speeds in low light – and it allows for a shallower depth of field than most compact point-and-shoot cameras. 10x Super-Resolution Zoom allowing you to capture close-ups images without any loss of image quality even in movie mode.
26mm Wide Lens
All the capabilities you need in one compact lens. The 5x optical zoom gets you close to the action while the 26mm Wide-Angle Lens lets you capture group shots and breathtaking panoramas.
In-Camera Creativity
Photo Story
You can easily create a combination of photos by selecting one of four themes. Each theme allows you to create a photo story with a certain flair with just a single touch. Choose Standard to capture three images in segments to tell a story. Select Speed that allows continuous seamless shooting of 5 images and combines them into one image, Choose Zoom-In/Zoom-Out to captures two images at two different distances into one image, or select Fun Frames and create images that mimic Film style and Polaroids.
11 Art Filters with 5 Art Effects

Advanced Control and Usability
Hybrid Control Ring and Customization
The XZ-10 offers advanced manual controls that experienced photographers expect. But, with the XZ-10, advanced features are easy to use. Similar to the XZ-2, the XZ-10 is equipped with a hybrid control ring, built around the lens, which allows users to easily assign function settings to their preferences.
3" Touch LCD
Whether composing still images or HD videos, photographers will appreciate the XZ-10's sharp 3.0-inch touch LCD to frame and show off still images and High Definition (HD) movies. The LCD displays 920,000 dots in vivid color, reproduces colors and shades more accurately with deeper black tones, and consumes less power. The monitor also provides a wide viewing angle ensuring that images can be composed from even the most obscure angles. The XZ-10's touch screen reacts quickly with the slightest touch and can focus by touch even if the subject is not in the center. Touch Screen display makes it easy to choose AF points, capture a picture, change camera settings, release the shutter or navigate controls, simply by touching the screen.

5x iZUIKO ZOOM LENS
Based on the standards of Olympus DSLR lenses, with the XZ-10's 5x wide-angle optical zoom and 5x digital zoom, you can get close to the action. But due to the F1.8 lens it allows for shallower depth of field than most compact point and shoot cameras.

An amazing 12 million pixels in the High-Sensitivity, High-Speed BSI CMOS sensor deliver unmatched image quality with less noise and improved image detail, especially in low-light situations.
The new design of the XZ-10's interface takes full advantage of the 3-in., 920,000-pixel VGA display. Menu navigation is made easier with a sleek and easy-to-see design, and is the same that is used in the PEN models.
The XZ-10 pairs a high sensitivity 12 megapixel BSI CMOS sensor with the TruePic™ VI Image Processor to produce clear and colorful photos. The image processor is noted for accurate natural color, true-to-life flesh tones, brilliant blue skies and precise tonal expression; it also lowers image noise in photos shot at higher ISO settings, enabling great results in low-light situations.
Shooting into backlight typically results in washed out, overly bright images. Backlight HDR Adjustment takes a collage of images at various exposure levels and blends them into one, perfectly exposed image.
The XZ-10 captures difficult, low light photos with an increased ISO sensitivity to 12,800.
The XZ-10 also features an AF illuminator to make it simple to focus in low-light situations.

Great little camera!
I wanted something small enough to fit in my pocket but with good image quality.
I shoot RAW exclusively and up to 800 ISO this little gem delivers! The image quality is way above the best smartphones, you also have access to full manual controls and the fast aperture allows for more depth-of-field control.
It is also very fast at focusing and with almost no shutter lag.
Only thing missing maybe is the lack of Wi-Fi..
Keep up the good work Olympus!

Great for low light situations
I like digital cameras and this one has all the features one would normally need. I purchased the XZ-10 for the 1.8 lens for low light conditions in addition to the automatic high speed ASA settings under low light. The camera is a little heavy for a "compact" but it has a more than solid feel to everything.
I have not yet used the advanced features of the camera and there is a little confusion about the screen options when the USB cord is connected, but I have transferred pictures off the camera and am impressed with image sharpness in low light.
I would have expected a standard complete instruction manual to be shipped with a camera purchased from Olympus, especially a camera with so many advanced features, instead of just the quick "get started" flyer (hence my down-rating from five stars). Surely it only costs a few dollars each for a mass printing of these manuals,. Requiring the purchaser to study a downloaded or on-line manual or to print out a many-page manual using expensive printing ink does not seem like a purchaser-friendly position to take for Olympus.

Great Great for the size
I wanted a small camera, one that fits in my pocket. Otherwise I bring my E-5. The XZ-10 at ISO 100 when correctly exposed and run through Olympus free software Viewer 3, using distortion correction and noise adjustment gives spectacular images. If you want a camera that is really small this is the answer. BTW if you compare this camera to most any camera AT ISO 100 you will be amazed. Down some images and check it out.

Great lens on a great camera.
I have had Olympus digital camera's since the Camedia C5050 from about 12 years ago. That C5050 camera has a great F1.8 lens (still works, by the way). This XZ-10 camera also has a great F1.8. Bright, and very good in low light conditions. The XZ-10 camera gives you plenty of creative controls, art filters, really good 1080P HD video. Wireless connectivity if you put in a optional Toshiba Flash air card (I don't really care about this option). All at a very reasonable price (even better with recent deals). On top of all that, it is a very compact camera, that you will be much more inclined to take along with you. Just get it a small pouch with a belt loop, and you are good to go....anywhere.

Great little camera with tons of features.
This is my fourth olympus camera, and their cameras are outstanding. The clarity of the pictures is great. I really like the extra art features and scene selections. The different frames and the touch screen and dial around the lens makes for easier access when taking pictures to go from one scene to another as well as focusing. For a compact camera it carries ALOT of awesome features.
August 06, 2013
Easy to use-compact full featured
This is my second Olympus camera. I really like my Stylus 760, but the additional tech features on the XZ-10 make it an outstanding addition to my camera selections. I like compact pocket size cameras that are easy to carry and use.
July 20, 2013
Some difficulties
I'm a 'older' novice and am having a difficult time actually practicing taking pictures with the XZ-10 while following the directions. it seems like most of the settings have something that is just giving me difficuty. Personally, having an on-line video explaining the features and giving examples of the photos that are possible for each setting would be very good. Until then, I am plodding through this print up of the on-line instruction book. I guess the camera is OK, but I am frustrated with this book.

Without question, there is no team in Major League Soccer Crew fans despise quite like the Chicago Fire. When the Black & Gold makes a trade with the Fire like they did on Monday when Dilly Duka was swapped for Dominic Oduro, it adds more fuel to MLS's midwestern rivalry.
Crew Technical Director Brian Bliss isn't worried about the deal coming back to bite the Black & Gold. Rather, he welcomes trades within the Eastern Conference.
"You try not to do deals within your own conference, but I think also that's a misunderstood concept," Bliss explained Monday. "If you're not going to do deals within your own conference, you're eliminating potentially nine other teams to make a trade with. Why would you do that?
"Yeah, it's one thing if you're dealing guys on the DP level. You don't want guys like that going to a rival, but at the end of the day, you can't worry about that."
As for Oduro, who is playing for his fifth team since 2006, he's learned to treat games against former opponents as he would any other match. The Crew will play the Fire three times in 2013.
"One thing I've to come to learn in my experience in this League and with your old team's history is to not trash talk your former team or let them get in your head," the new Crew forward said. "You just have to stay calm and try to play the game as any other MLS game. I think it will be something to play against [Chicago].
"I think I'll just go out there and play my game and hopefully we'll come away with the W."
With William Hesmer out for the season following hip surgery and Andy Gruenebaum recovering from a lower back contusion, it leaves rookie Homegrown Matt Lampson as the only healthy goalkeeper on the Crew's roster for Wednesday's match against the Philadelphia Union
Although Eddie Gaven won Save of the Week honors back in 2010 and Chris Birchall has put on 'keeper gloves for fun in training, it's not likely Robert Warzycha would have felt comfortable having one of the two midfielders as the number two goalie against the Union.
Fortunately for Warzycha, Major League Soccer has a rule for this type of situation: The Extreme Hardship Call-Up.
From the 2012 MLS Roster Rules and Regulations:
Pool 'keeper Scott Angevine has joined the Crew in Philadelphia, and will serve as Lampson's backup in Wednesday's match. Angevine is a rookie from Coastal Carolina University and currently trains with Sporting Kansas City, his hometown club, to stay sharp. Angevine and Lampson have a similar history as both redshirted the 2008 season at Northern Illinois before transferring and going their separate ways.

The underarm water feed is really excellent. There's room for pretty much anything you would want for a long unsupported run. If you want to be able to carry a change of clothes get the bigger one (12L). This pack really is excellent, and the major downside is the price. I haven't found anything I don't like about it yet.
This pack fits me well (5'11", 145) and is very adjustable. When I first put it on I thought it didn't fit me well and my arms would hit the bottle holders, but I found that a little adjusting and neither were an issue.
- Many Storage Compartments
- Friction
Best Uses
- Ultra Running
After seeing others wear the Salomon branded hydration packs I decided to buy this for myself. There are many great things about this pack from how it looks to the snug fit to the many compartments included. However, a tremendous downside of this product for me was the friction I experienced from the material used as water bottle holders. The insides of my arm were instantly bothered when I tried the vest on. As I attempted to mimic my arms moving for a run the burning irritation increased. I am very disappointed that I am having to consider returning it because conceptually it is amazing.
Also, it was suggested through an online chat representative that my body type might not be best for this pack. Of course there is more than just my height and weight to consider (of which I am 5'7" and 140 lbs) but I was thinking that if any body type might be ideal for this pack it would be a smaller frame instead of a larger frame.
- Convenient pockets
- Doesn't bounce
- Easy to fill
- Form fitting
- Lightweight
- Perfect sized bladder
- Hard to store bulky items
Best Uses
- Hiking
- Mountain biking
- Ultra trail running
I carry hydration equipment for long distance trail running, primarily ultra running. I generally do not like hydration packs and prefer to carry bottles instead, but when running 100 mile trail races, I need additional storage capacity for carrying other gear such as batteries, flashlights, extra food and layers of clothes.
I was looking for a comfortable pack that I could wear for 20 hours and not have it create too much discomfort. I had tried a couple of other brands and none of them ever felt right. I had seen this pack in a few races and asked the users for their opinion and they all gave it a glowing report, so I elected to give it a shot.
I bought it and trained with it for an upcoming 100 miler and wore it on race day. I loved it! I could barely tell I was carrying a pack at all. It was very comfortable and form fitting. Best of all, it was easy to use. Filling it at aid stations was seamless and quick. All my snacks, camera, and trail gear fit nicely in the convenient pockets.
I may have some trouble if I need to carry a lot of warm running gear for nighttime running during 100 milers because the main body of the pack isn't very large. But there are handy straps on the outside of the pack and I plan to attach my light jacket or rain gear to them and see how it works.
Moving forward, this is my full time hydration system of choice. I love it!
- Convenience
- Lightweight
- Pockets
Best Uses
- Long runs
I love this pack for long runs on the trail. I tried to use it for long runs on the road and found it to cause me to sweat considerably. I did have to cinch the pack down considerable to keep it from bouncing which may have led to the perspiration issue. Overall, I think the pack is awesome!
- Light barely noticeable
- none
Best Uses
- Runningtrail running
Using this product now to train for my marathon in Feb. Best investment I've made. The pack is super light weight and has enough pockets and compartments to last on a 4 hour or more run. Don't spend your money on any other hydration pack. The Salomon S-Lab hydration set is the way to go!

By JULIE SHERMANPrice
I would like to say what a great job the good people at Active Re-Entry located in Price do.
My father, a Duchesne County resident, was able to take advantage of their PERKIE Travels service, where they provide daily transportation to Provo for cancer patients receiving radiation treatments from the Utah Valley Medical Center. My dad stayed with me in Price for the duration of his treatments, and was able to ride in their vans and save his strength for other activities.
Prior to his knowledge about this service, he was driving himself daily from Roosevelt to Provo. I am grateful that Active Re-Entry is able to receive grant money to fund this special service.
It's truly a special service that they provide to residents of our area.

Another Title Service
I had the pleasure of discussing Ohio owner bill of sale bikes today [ Ohioans know that the state will not except a bill of sale ]. This fellow operates a title service for folks who cannot obtain a title for their bikes and he told me he pretty much can obtain a title which will be tranferable to the others states, as long as the bike does not have an existing title , is registered in another state, or is hot. He seemed to be a pretty straight shootin fellow. What made me call him was I heard him on a motorcycle radio broadcast. He can work with all models and makes, foreign and domestic, as long as the new title will be in a domestic state. Anyhow....check him out at http://www.motorecyclenow.com/ Pa

David Sedaris brings wry humor to Salt Lake
As one of the most well-traveled writers currently in the business, you'd expect David Sedaris to have an opinion on hotels.
"I don't like the [Manhattan] hotel I'm in at all. There are slamming doors everywhere," he said, making his way through the rounds of phone interviews early this month. "But don't you dare stand between me and the Little America Hotel in Salt Lake City. There's no place like it. It's like a four-star motel. Everywhere else people would treat it as campy, but there's no place I'd rather be than the coffee shop in Little America."
Writing about your own author readings, and travels, draws attention to the writer's supposedly charmed life. Sedaris admits this is a bit narcissistic, but it's a task he executes with all the charm, aplomb and generous laughs of his previous writing collections in his new work, Let's Explore Diabetes With Owls. Throughout the collection, Sedaris reveals his rare political side and turns even a mundane trip to Costco with his brother-in-law into an uproarious meditation on suburban manners. In others, such as the opener on the joys of French dentistry, the 56-year-old Sedaris begins to show his age, but never at the expense of generous laughs.
"I don't mind being cranky, but I'd hate to think I'm not subtle anymore," he said.
What compelled you to write the books' "monologues for teenagers"?
I just feel so honored when a teenager comes to one of my readings. It's just such a square thing to come to a reading with your middle-aged parent. I had really good teenage gifts last night. They'll get less good as the tour goes on. ⦠I'm nice to everyone whose book I sign, but I'm much more interested in the lives of teenagers, and so glad they came.
A lot of these essays deal with technology, such as you holding out on buying an iPhone until they're "equipped with a Taser." How would you explain your relationship with technology?
I don't have a cellphone, because if I did I wouldn't be able to judge people who take up the whole sidewalk while talking on their phone. The second I do that after buying a cellphone, I can't judge people who do that. And I love being able to judge people who do that.
Also, if I had a cellphone, and you had to call me, you'd be calling me in Europe. I just don't think that's fair to people. Besides, no one ever calls me. Once, in London, our phone went out and I didn't even notice that it didn't ring. I've a few friends who call me, but they're friends I made in the 1970s. You know how it is. When you're in a relationship you don't try that hard to make friends anymore.
You and your boyfriend recently moved to England. Why the change? How is living in England different from life in France?
It wasn't as if we packed up and left France. We still have an apartment there.
When people go to France on vacation, they get this very romantic idea of a nation with two-hour lunches and great food. But just try living there. It's very hard to make plans because everyone's on strike all the time. We call Air France "Air Chance" because they're always on strike.
In London you don't even know it's Sunday. I hated the Sundays of my youth, because Raleigh, N.C., was a tomb. That's exactly what Paris feels like on a Sunday. It gives me that feeling I had when I was a child. I wake up on Sunday and I just want it to be over.
Some people say they like it because it's a day you can concentrate on what's really important. That's subjective. I can't bear that stifling Paris environment. I was in Paris last week and it looked like all the buildings were crying.
It's really interesting how inferior Americans like to feel alongside the French. Never underestimate the willingness to feel inferior to the French. It's the same in England. I don't know a single French woman who doesn't talk about her weight. English women put their daughters on diets and French women put their daughters on diets, too. French children are by and large so well-mannered because their parents beat the s- out of them.
London, on the surface, is a lot harder to love. But it's a more international city. So international I get to practice my Polish. There are so many Swedes, Poles and others in London that whatever language it is you're trying to learn, you can learn it with people in London. I don't mean to sound like I'm breaking up with Paris and now talking crap about it, I just prefer England right now.
Do you ever feel you want a break from being funny?
When I turn a story, that's expected. But if you didn't know who I was, and had dinner with me, you'd think, "Man, that guy asks a lot of questions. What's up with him?" That's what people probably think when they leave my company. It's just my nature. It runs in my family. If you met my family, you'd be exhausted.
Have any of your feelings about the book's essays on the Tea Party or U.S. politics changed after Barack Obama won re-election?
No. What I like about the Tea Party is that I just love people who, again, are just so sure of themselves. ⦠I'm completely fascinated. When someone puts on a tricorn hat and starts yelling, I just can't listen to them enough. I'm more inclined to ask, "Feel free to talk me out of it, but this is what I think." I'm just fascinated. You throw in an old hat on top of it, and it's even better.
I didn't want the Obama essay to seem dated. It really was true that the French acted like Obama was the president they wanted to elect. Every president in France went to the same college. It's always a white guy who went to the same school, so please don't complain to me about how racist Americans are. You would not want to be an Arab or Moroccan immigrant in France, but they love to talk about black-white relations in the United States.
A lot of my political feelings are shaped by, or a reaction to, people overseas. Everyone in England asks, "What the hell is up with you people and your goddamned guns!?" I just tell them that in America you need a semi-automatic weapon. You need it to shoot your television. Have you ever gone on YouTube to see that? There's clip after clip of people either shooting their television or their toilet in an open field. It's like a genocide of appliances by people acting like they're 12-year-olds with semi-automatic weapons. What do people need those weapons for? Well, that's what they need those weapons for. It's this destructive fear that, if you don't shoot your television, it will come back to life and hurt someone else.
Where do you believe the future of humor resides?
That's actually a really good question, because every day people become more sensitive. ⦠E-mail has also changed everything. It's allowed people to complain about their seat being hard, or not enough ice in their drink.
You're now 56 years old. Is it easier, or harder, to write as you grow older?
I think I'm a better writer as I get older. The stories in this book are better than the ones I wrote 15-20 years ago. It hasn't gotten harder, but sometimes I wish I could go back and rewrite things I wrote 10 or 15 years ago. I'd rewrite the story about all the nervous tics I had as a kid ["A Plague of Ticks" in Naked]. I'd shorten that. I'd rewrite the title story in Me Talk Pretty One Day. My French teacher did all sorts of terrible things, like stabbing a Korean-American student in the eye with a pencil and telling her to wake up and go back to Seoul. But what I didn't mention was that most of us really liked her, but it would have been a much more difficult story to write, but also much better.

Boston at Baltimore | Lester (6-3) vs Gonzalez (4-2)
This is a game and a series the Orioles must win. Gonzalez has pitched very well in his last two starts. His wife is scheduled to give birth this week so he may be a bit distracted. Let's hope he keeps his focus and the baby waits another day to make his ML appearance.
Lester has struggled after a fast start and we need to jump on him early.

We had the opportunity to visit Italy a few months back as part of this launch to explore the country and get a feel for what Dolomite is all about. To give you an example of their commitment to mountaineering: Dolomite is the oldest continuously operating outdoor brand in the world and were the outfitter of the 1954 Italian expedition which was the first to summit K2 – considered by many to be the most difficult summit in the world.
Though we didn't visit K2 (it's not in Italy), we did climb the famous Cinque Torri mountains outside Cortina to test out the performance of the boots and take in the amazing Italian landscapes. We also visited their HQ and factory in the Veneto region. Enjoy the looks in our gallery.

CANTON Matilda M. Smith is a chubby-cheeked baby who sits up, tries to crawl and smiles widely when shes getting attention from her 3-year-old brother, Parker.
But her little life didnt start out so bright and sunny.
Just nine days after her Sept. 21 birth at Canton-Potsdam Hospital, Potsdam, it became clear that Matilda was a very sick little girl. Her parents, Kelly E. and Tyler J. Smith, became concerned about their babys lack of interest in nursing and her excessive sleepiness. But she was gaining weight, which alleviated some of their worry.
However, when Matilda started projectile vomiting at about a week old, they headed to the emergency room at Canton-Potsdam.
Physicians there determined she was jaundiced and probed further to find the cause.
As soon as we got the bloodwork back, it was obvious it was her liver, Mrs. Smith recollected. They could tell the jaundice was caused by her liver shutting down, but they didnt go into detail about how sick she was.
Without hesitation, Mrs. Smith and 9-day-old Matilda were on their way by ambulance to the pediatric intensive care unit at Upstate Medical University, Syracuse. Mr. Smith followed in his vehicle, joined by his son and his mother-in-law.
Once there, Matilda underwent more bloodwork and an ultrasound. She received fresh frozen plasma to help with liver function. The liver produces the material thats necessary for blood clotting, which means a failing liver could lead to hemorrhaging.
At this point, it was obvious their babys condition was very serious, Mrs. Smith said.
You could see she was going downhill very fast, Mrs. Smith recollected.
Fortunately, Mount Sinai Medical Center, New York City, had a pediatric liver transplant team that was available to accept Matilda. Again, Mrs. Smith accompanied her newborn in the ambulance while Mr. Smith made the trip to New York City in his own car.
Once there, a CT scan showed evidence of brain swelling, and physicians worried about hemorrhaging. The baby was hooked up to feeding and breathing tubes.
The Smiths were grateful for the number of specialists at Mount Sinai who became involved, including a genetics team, an infectious disease team and a neurology team.
They were all kind of baffled that she never had a fever and was born fine, Mrs. Smith said.
Her treatment included double-exchange blood transfusions, which provided her with fresh plasma. She also was placed on the transplant list. The most important factor was finding a liver that was small enough for Matilda.
We became close with a lot of the doctors and nurses, Mrs. Smith said They took us under their wing.
The couple had to consider that liver transplants have only a 40 to 50 percent success rate.
We were terrified if we made the wrong decision, it would tear us apart as individuals and as a family, Mrs. Smith said.
But they also knew Matildas condition was not improving. Her blood pressure was extremely low, and she had a nosebleed that wouldnt stop for several hours.
The Smiths also turned to their deeply rooted Catholic faith for support. They asked family and friends to pray for their newborn.
Mr. Smith, an assistant civil engineering professor at Clarkson University, Potsdam, said his co-workers were very supportive.
I prayed for strength and acceptance. I prayed for peace of mind and guidance. I prayed for the medical staff and anyone who came in contact with Matilda, Mrs. Smith said.
She said she did not pray for a new liver for Matilda, because she was heartbroken knowing that would mean another mother was losing her baby.
Mrs. Smith said she was saying the rosary when the news came that a liver would be removed from a 2-week old baby from Missouri who died in the hospital.
On Matildas six-week birthday and All Saints Day, a priest visited the hospital to bless her. At the same time, the hospital received a call that the surgery to remove the liver from the donor baby had been successful and the transplant would take place within a matter of hours.
On Nov. 2, a team of about 12 doctors performed the six-hour microscopic surgery at Mount Sinai. Surgeons discovered that only about 1 percent of Matildas liver was functioning.
When she came out of surgery, instead of being stitched, Matildas abdomen was wrapped in gauze and plastic that looked similar to Saran wrap. The procedure had gone well and Matilda was placed on anti-rejection medicines.
Mr. Smith said the physicians best guess is that Matilda suffered from neonatal hemochromatosis, which essentially is acute liver failure.
The couple stayed in New York City for the next six weeks while Matilda recuperated, returning to Canton on Jan. 21. So far, the transplant is considered a success and, except for a cold, Matilda has remained healthy.
The family is careful about preventing Matilda from getting sick because her immune system is compromised. They ask visitors to use hand sanitizer and remove their shoes. They avoid taking her to places with large crowds.
Friends in the north country have dropped off meals and helped with the couples older son. Every two weeks Matilda has bloodwork done, and she will be monitored closely for the next five years.
She is developing well and reaching normal milestones for an 8-month-old.
We have been very blessed, Mrs. Smith said.
Mrs. Smith, a reading specialist, is keeping a blog about her familys experiences at www.cloudydaygray.com.

BARTON — An East Haven man ended up at Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center Monday following a crash on US RT 5 around 8:20 a.m.
Orleans County Deputy Sheriff Jonathan McFarlane reported that Timothy Gaskill, 21, was traveling north when his 1999 Chevrolet Prizm slid out of its travel lane and into the front of a 1995 Mack truck carrying logs.
Roy Fox, 29, of Lyndonville, was operating the truck and was not injured. He was unable to stop the truck, McFarlane said.
Fire department personnel and emergency medical service technicians extracted Gaskill.
Gaskill's vehicle is a total loss. Fox's vehicle sustained front end damage.

Demo: Up to speed with PowerPoint 2007
(Or download the demo.)
You may experience a delay while the demo is loading.
With the new design of Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2007, you'll create presentations quickly and smoothly. Office PowerPoint 2007 also has new options for designing slide content that will give your presentations a fresh, polished look. How does PowerPoint deliver on these promises? Here are some examples.
The new Ribbon, part of the Microsoft Office Fluent user interface, keeps the commands that you use most often visible while you're working instead of hiding under menus or toolbars that you have to hunt for. Also, commands that you may not have known about before are now very easy to discover.
When it comes to designing your slides, live preview of style galleries lets you see how things such as backgrounds and shape formatting will look before you apply them. A new SmartArt graphics feature offers new diagram types and more layout options, and lets you convert text such as a bulleted list into a diagram.

Greg Zaun, Dioner Navarro and the Back-Up Catcher
Last week on ESPN 1050, Terry Collins said, in his view, Josh Thole is a 'No. 1 catcher.'
Sandy Alderson has said, while he feels Thole is capable of being an everyday catcher, the team is thin at the position, and will likely try to acquire additional catchers, 'both at the major league level and at Triple-A.'
In a post to Mets Today, Joe Janish looks at potential free-agent, back-up catchers and determines that Greg Zuan might be the best fit, "if he's not too expensive and is willing to play for a team not likely to be in the playoff hunt."
This past weekend, Marc Topkin of the St. Petersburg Times said, "It's obvious that C Dioner Navarro is done, either nontendered or dumped in a minor trade (by the Rays), based on his play for his $2.1 million pay and the way he deserted the team when left off the playoff roster."
Henry Blanco is a free agent. He was said to be great in the clubhouse and did a lot of work with Thole and the pitching staff. But he'll be 40 years old next season, he did not hit and had all sorts of shoulder issues last season, and so I just don't see the team bringing him back, even though he still wants to play and is likely to sign an inexpensive, one-year deal.
Rod Barajas, Josh Bard, Gerald Laird, Chad Moeller, Bengie Molina, A.J. Pierzynski, Yorvit Torreala, Matt Treanor and Jason Varitek, as well as Zaun, are all free agents this off season.

Russell Martin Taking Contract Offers
The Red Sox are making a strong push for Russell Martin, Gordon Edes of ESPN Boston said on Twitter.
Update, 9:32 am:
Russell Martin is currently fielding offers, with both the Red Sox and Yankees in the "center of the mix", says Buster Olney of ESPN.
Updated yesterday at 2:03 pm
by Matthew Cerrone:
Updated yesterday at 11:40 pm
by Matthew Cerrone:
According to FoxSports.com, the Yankees and Red Sox are more interested in Martin than the Mets and Blue Jays.
Andy Martino of the Daily News points out that Martin has already rejected a one-year, $4.2 million offer from the Dodgers, which would suggest his price will need to come 'way down' for the Mets to get involved.
Updated at 4:31 pm
by Matthew Cerrone:
According to Buster Olney of ESPN.com, the Mets, Jays, Red Sox and Yankees have all been in contact with Martin, with all teams examining his medical information over the last day.
Updated at 4:13 pm
by Matthew Cerrone:
The Mets see Martin as 'too expensive' and 'too much of an injury risk,' according to the Daily News.
Martin fits the Mets well, but I don't understand why he'd want to sign here knowing Josh Thole is so highly regarded and more or less ready to take over the job.
Original Post at 3:24 pm
by Matthew Cerrone:
The Yankees, Red Sox, Blue Jays and Mets are among teams who might have interest in Martin, according to Jon Heyman of SI.com.
Last week, before he was non-tendered, the Dodgers talked with the Yankees about swapping Martin for C Francisco Cervelli.
Buster Olney recently said Martin wants to sign with a team on the East Coast.
Martin's agent told MLB Trade Rumors that the Dodgers would like to bring him back, not just to be a catcher, but to also play second base, third base and some outfield.
Martin hit .248 with a .347 OBP last season, with just 18 extra base hits in 97 games for the Dodgers.
He had a similar season in 2009, batting .250, but with a .352 OBP, drawing 80 walks with just 69 strike outs in 505 at bats.

Students praying in school debate
By Elizabeth Paz. CREATED Feb 3, 2012
Should your kids be able to pray freely in public schools? They will if some state lawmakers have their way.
A bill being discussed in Tallahassee would allow students to share inspirational messages, including prayer in school, as long as adults stay out of it. Some members of the ACLU call this bill unnecessary and it's got many people on both sides of the fence.
Sandy from Cape Coral, agrees with the new proposed bill, "One nation under God' was how this nation was formed. The ACLU needs to stay out of it."
However, Bonnie from Fort Myers disagrees, "School is for education. If you want to pray, go to your temple, synagogue, and church and do it there."
According to Dee, this bill is a good idea. "I definitely feel that God should be brought back and prayer should be brought back into our school system. It could actually save some of our students."
