Man sets himself on fire trying to kill bedbugs inside rental car
Raw footage from parking lot
Police say a Long Island man set his rental car ablaze while trying to kill bedbugs inside the vehicle.
Scott Kemery suffered first- and second-degree burns in the incident…outside an Eastport supermarket.
Police say the Bridgehampton resident poured alcohol over the insects, then sat in the car and lit a cigarette, setting off the blaze.
He fled the vehicle on his own.
Detective Sgt. Edward Fitzgerald told Newsday that someone told Kemery that if he saturated the bedbugs with alcohol it would kill them.
Police say two other cars were heavily damaged from the intense heat of the fire.
Easy-peasy folk remedies. Gotta love 'em.
School board reading list has 30 spelling errors
New York state officials criticized a school board whose summer reading list misspells titles including "The Great Gatsby" and names including George Orwell.
The Hempstead Public Schools summer reading list has more than 30 spelling errors, including misspelling "The Great Gatsby" as "The Great Gypsy" and misspelling the names of authors including George Orwell, Emily Bronte, David McCullough and Frederick Douglass, Newsday reported Wednesday.
Hempstead Superintendent Susan Johnson did not immediately return calls for comment…
Roger Tilles, a member of the New York State Department of Education's Board of Regents, blamed the district's leadership for the spelling errors.
"It indicates again that a stable administration is absolutely essential for kids to get the kind of education they need," he said. "Hempstead has not had a stable administration for a long time and the kids are suffering."
Hempstead is in Nassau County – which certainly has a stable political history. Mobbed-up politicians have been in charge for decades; but, then, they don't care a whole boatload about spelling either.
Man shoots girlfriend over likelihood of a zombie outbreak
Police in New York state said a man shot his girlfriend during a fight about whether a zombie outbreak as seen on AMC's "The Walking Dead" could actually occur.
Nassau County Detective Lt. Raymond Cote said Jared Gurman…argued via text messages with his girlfriend, Jessica Gelderman…just after 2:30 a.m. Monday about the possibility of a zombie apocalypse as depicted on the AMC series…
"He feels strongly about the possibility that some military mishap could occur. She thinks it's ridiculous," ABC News quoted Cote as saying. "She was not taking him seriously or taking the show as seriously as he does."
Cote said Gelderman became worried about Gurman as the argument became heated and decided to go to his Williston Park home to calm him down, the report said.
Gelderman attempted to talk to Gurman and enter his home, but he shot her in the back with a .22-caliber rifle, police said.
Gurman drove Gelderman to the hospital, where she was treated for a shattered rib, a pierced lung and a pierced diaphragm.
Gurman was charged with attempted murder.

Woman finds she's "married" to 3 men as part of immigration scam
Anna Vargas and her real hubbie, Angel Poggi
New York City woman Anna Vargas thought she was happily married — she just did not know she was "married" to four guys, The New York Post reports.
The 37-year-old Queens mom was the victim of an identity-theft nightmare, in which a parade of mysterious creeps arranged fake marriages by using her birth certificate, which she lost some 16 years ago.
Vargas had no idea what was going on — until she tried to get married in 2004 and was heartbroken to find her application for a license rejected by the City Clerk's Office. She was turned down after records showed she was "married" twice in 1996, once to a man from Mexico and once to a man from Ecuador…
It was not clear why the men got married to women using her identity, but often such ID theft involves immigration scams…
The ceremony was moved to Long Island, where she and fiance Angel Poggi said their "I dos" and prepared to live happily ever after.
Then out of the blue in 2009, one of her other "husbands," a man from Ecuador, turned up and slapped her with divorce papers.
When she refused to sign those documents and hired a lawyer, the Ecuadorean man showed up at her mother-in-law's house. "Luckily, my mother-in-law had a picture of our wedding day," Vargas explained. "She said, 'Is this the person you were married to?' He said, 'No.'"
Vargas decided to go back and clear her name with the City Clerk's Office. On Jan. 25, Administrative Law Judge Joan Salzman ruled that Vargas was indeed the victim of fraud and nullified the two 1996 marriages.
Unfortunately, her troubles are not over, as Vargas also discovered another fake marriage in her name, on Long Island, and is fighting to erase it.
Lesson learned? Keep track of your legal documents especially those concerning your identity.
Drunk – wearing "I'm a drunk" t-shirt – arrested for driving drunk!
A New York man wearing a T-shirt declaring "I'm a drunk" is facing DWI charges after a collision with a police car.
Suffolk County police arrested 23-year-old Kevin Daly of Coram. They say he crashed into an officer's vehicle at about 1:45 a.m. Thursday. The officer was treated for minor injuries.
Daly, who is unemployed, was wearing the T-shirt in a mug shot provided by police. It reads: "I'm not an alcoholic / I'm a drunk / Alcoholics go to meetings."
He was ordered held on $10,000 bail at his arraignment and was issued several traffic summonses. He was represented by an attorney from Legal Aid, which has a policy of not commenting on pending cases.
Throw away the key. He's a drunk and an idiot. Double the menace to the public.
Beancounter bureaucrat sacks Santa to save $660
Faced with the difficult task of balancing a budget in austere times, officials in New York's Suffolk County said on Friday they had no choice: they had to sack Santa Claus. The county executive said he could not justify carving out $660 from his $2.7 billion budget to pay David McKell, 83, a World War II veteran and former homicide detective, to don his Santa suit for the tenth year running and greet children on Long Island…
He said that some 750 county employees were facing layoffs as a result of budget restraints, including what he described as a $20 million cut in state aid to the county's health system…
Steve Levy was quickly called a Grinch by his opponents.
"Do we really have to hold Santa Claus hostage to balance the budget?" said Bill Lindsay, a Democrat and the presiding officer of the county legislature.
"I mean, $600? Give me a break," Joseph Sawicki, a Republican who as county comptroller is charged with overseeing the county government's fiscal prudence, said in an interview. "There comes a point where you go overboard in terms of penny-pinching…"
In the end, Steve Bellone, the current town supervisor of nearby Babylon, who is running as the Democratic candidate to succeed Levy, said he would pay for Santa.
Levy, who is not running for reelection, dismissed Bellone's gesture as "pure grandstanding", and said his office was investigating whether the check breached rules governing gifts to county agencies.
Exactly the kind of response I'd expect from a Scrooge getting caught out at being a cheapskate at managing somebody else's money. He hates like hell to admit he's a lousy money manager; so, he blames the people who point out his distorted values.
Suffolk County serial killer has been studying the coppers
Daylife/Getty Images used by permission
Whoever killed four prostitutes, and possibly four other people, and then dumped their bodies in heavy underbrush along a beachfront causeway on Long Island appears to have a sophisticated understanding of police investigative techniques…
A series of taunting phone calls made to the teenage sister of one of the victims — calls that the police suspect came from the killer — were made from in or around some of the most crowded locations in New York City, including Madison Square Garden and Times Square, according to the people briefed on the case and to the mother of Melissa Barthelemy, that victim.
The locations, detectives say, were probably chosen because they allowed the caller to blend into crowds, so that if investigators pinpointed his location from the cellphone's signal, they would be unable to pick him out of the crowd using any nearby surveillance cameras, one of the people said.
This fact, as well as the killer's use of disposable cellphones to contact the four victims who have been identified — women in their 20s who advertised their services on Craigslist — suggested to some investigators that the killer was well versed in criminal investigative techniques, gleaned either through personal experience or in some other way, and could even be in law enforcement himself…
Also, the caller kept each of his vulgar, mocking and insulting calls to less than three minutes, according to the dead woman's mother, Lynn Barthelemy. The caller made about a half-dozen calls over roughly five weeks to the victim's sister.
One investigator said the brief duration of the calls thwarted efforts by the New York Police Department to use the signal to pinpoint the caller's location and find him, something Lynn Barthelemy said they told her they tried to do four times…
Ms. Barthelemy's body was one of four uncovered over the course of three days in December in the thick undergrowth along Ocean Parkway, near Gilgo Beach, in the town of Babylon. All were dumped in burlap sacks.
RTFA for a bit more detail. I guess back in the day before the multiplicity of CSI variants on TV it would have required a bit of research to know how forensic investigation has moved on since the days of Quincy.
We even had a suicide here in New Mexico that imitated an episode of CSI in an attempt to make it look like murder. Life imitates art, once again.
Barbie-man bandit holds up Long Island store – for a Gatorade
Some men can wear pink – some can't
The blonde bandit with the handbag and the handgun was no lady.
A cross-dressing crook in a pink jumpsuit held up a Long Island stationery store, only to find his efforts thwarted when the cash register wouldn't open, Nassau County police said.
The white male, believed to be in his late 20s or early 30s, sported the blonde wig and the summery outfit Thursday afternoon when he entered the C&R Stationery Store in Lynbrook.
The pretty-in-pink bandit pulled a handgun from his off-white purse and ordered the female store clerk to empty the register, police said Friday.
When the panicked clerk couldn't get to the cash quickly enough, the bandit settled for swiping a bottle of Gatorade before fleeing on his bicycle from the storefront shop on Union Ave., cops said…
Police planned to review footage from the store's surveillance camera in their effort to track down the suspect.
And then pass it along to Jon Stewart, I imagine.
Bomb suspect got cash at doughnut shop
The Times Square terror suspect got $4,000 cash for his warped plot in a clandestine meeting at a Long Island Dunkin' Donuts…
Faisal Shahzad drove from Connecticut to the doughnut shop near the Ronkonkoma Long Island Rail Road station to pick up his blood money, sources said.
The doughnut connection came on a day of fast-breaking developments in the probe – including the arrest of three Pakistani nationals.
Just who gave the money to Shahzad, a naturalized U.S. citizen from Pakistan, remains unclear. Authorities suspect the three men swept up in yesterday's synchronized, four-state FBI terror sweep at least helped funnel the cash to finance the botched Times Square car bombing, which authorities have said cost about $7,000…
A fourth man, with ties to the Taliban, was arrested in Pakistan, also as an accomplice in the plot, sources said. He provided evidence that the Pakistani Taliban was behind the attack and admitted helping Shahzad get bomb-making training in Pakistan.
Uri Back, the owner of the Dunkin' Donuts, which closed for renovations three weeks ago, told The News the feds have not questioned him.
Absolutely everyone living in the Northeast understands how good the coffee and doughnuts are at Dunkin Donuts. Even the terrorists.
100 Mbps broadband arrives in Long Island
As long as your curbside hookup doesn't look like this. Har!
Cablevision, the Bethpage, N.Y.-based cable and Internet service provider, has continued its tradition of being a cable industry innovator by introducing 100-megabits-per-second service in Long Island. The service, dubbed Optimum Online Ultra, utilizes DOCSIS 3.0 technology to deliver the ultra-broadband experience over cable's wires and comes with ability to send data upstream at 15 Mbps. It starts at $99 a month, will be available starting May 11 and will be the fastest service from a cable provider anywhere in the U.S.
Cablevision is facing intense competition right in its own backyard from Verizon, which has ramped up the availability of its FiOS fiber broadband in the areas where it's allowed to sell broadband. The cable company has responded by constantly upgrading its network and offering higher speeds and recently started offering free Wi-Fi to its customers. Cablevision also announced that it was doubling the downstream speed of its Optimum Wi-Fi wireless Internet service, to up to 3.0 Mbps…
Cablevision's attitude to broadband is in sharp contrast to those of its peers in the cable business. The company has not announced any plans for metered broadband and has been consistently offering more speeds for lower prices. Time Warner Cable continues to come up with excuses while Comcast has implemented a 250 GB bandwidth cap. Comcast recently launched a 50 Mbps broadband offering in parts of the San Francisco Bay Area and other cities around the country. Many carriers are looking at boosting speeds as a way to overcome the broadband slowdown that has come with a moribund economy.
That's right. It reads like there is no cap on this new Cablevision package.
Meanwhile, their competitors continue to whine about technical crappola keeping them from permitting full access to speeds considered essential – in other countries.
One of the commenters at Om's post – from Sweden – has had 100Mbps up and down for 5 years. He pays $29 per month.

Henry J. and Janice I. Henderson packed their red 2011 Lincoln Dec. 12 with a miscellany of clothing, but not winter coats, hats or boots.
Those are items the Watertown snowbirds, who are spending their 13th winter in Fort Myers, Fla., wont need at their home about a mile and a half from the Gulf of Mexico.
Snowbirds interviewed by the Times, including couples from Clayton and the town of Watertown, have grown accustomed to climates where snow blowers, shovels and cumbersome bags of de-icing salt are forgotten. But while the couples say theyre happy to escape another Northeast winter, theyll stay connected to their left-behind communities by phone, email, blogs and news websites.
The term snowbird was coined in 1923 in reference to northern U.S. workers who traveled to the South to work during the winter, according to the Online Etymology Dictionary. But north country snowbirds are better defined by the terms modern definition from the Oxford U.S. English Dictionary: A northerner who moves to a warmer southern state in the winter.
A 2004 University of Florida study found New York had the greatest number of temporary residents who meet the definition of snowbirds 13.1 percent, followed by those from Michigan (7.4 percent), Ohio (6.7), Pennsylvania (5.8) and Canada (5.5). The average length of stay among snowbirds was five months, according to the study, which is the most recent such report available and was conducted by the universitys Bureau of Economic and Business Research.
The Hendersons are seasoned snowbirds who have mastered their annual travel routine: after packing their Lincoln with belongings, a neighborhood friend, Terry Williams, drives the car to Florida on their behalf, taking a trip of his own to visit his grandchildren in New Port Richey, about two hours north of Fort Myers.
About a week after Mr. Williams leaves, the Hendersons take a flight to Fort Myers. There, Mr. Williams leaves the Lincoln at the airport for them to pick up as he takes a plane back to Watertown, ensuring the Hendersons have a car in Florida.
When the Hendersons are ready to make the return flight to the north country in April, Mr. Williams will take a plane to Fort Myers to pick up the Lincoln and drive it back to Watertown.
Its a travel routine the Hendersons will complete for the fourth consecutive year.
Hes been kind enough to do this for us and likes to drive, Mrs. Henderson said of Mr. Williams. We pay for the gas, food, lodging and a little bonus.
It dawned on Mr. Henderson after the couples first Florida trip in 2001 that hed lost his fervor for winters in the north country. Activities that once made the season charming when the couple was young downhill skiing, cross-country skiing and hiking no longer are possible as senior citizens.
That first winter we came home in March, saw the snow and thought: what are we doing here? I got tired of shoveling snow, and we couldnt do winter sports anymore, said Mr. Henderson, 78, a middle-school teacher for 10 years and a superintendent for 24 at LaFargeville Central School District. He retired in 1990.
The Hendersons gradually assimilated into a second community at Siesta Bay Resort, joining choir, drama and square-dancing groups composed of snowbirds from across the country, said Mrs. Henderson, 76, who serves as chairwoman of the Watertown Musicales group for half the year. She keeps tabs on the groups monthly meetings over the phone while in Fort Myers, and the couple reads the Times online.
Mrs. Henderson said they stayed in Watertown later than usual this year to participate in Northern Choral holiday choir performances Dec. 13 at SUNY Potsdams Crane School of Music and Dec. 14 at the Dulles State Office Building. Because of the couples unusually long stay in Watertown, antsy members of Mrs. Hendersons Fort Myers Beach Babes group made several calls in early December asking when shed arrive in Florida.
They keep telling me things like, Its 80 degrees and much nicer down here at the beach, she said.
Pool and hot tub
William G. and Joan S. Senkowicz, Clayton residents for 40 years, became snowbirds in 2001 in Bradenton, Fla., after learning about the area from a friend in Black River. The retired couple now spends about half the year in Florida, leaving in November and returning in April.
During a phone interview from Bradenton this month, Mrs. Senkowicz, 64, rattled off a litany of things she doesnt like about north country winters.
I dont miss the rotten winter roads and never knowing if you would get to work in one piece, said Mrs. Senkowicz, who used to make a daily winter commute from Clayton to Fort Drum, where she worked as an administrative assistant. I also dont miss chipping off ice on the windshield and using hot water to open doors.
But in their home in their Bradenton community, which is for ages 55 and up, she said she plays water-coloring and painting classes, pool aerobics and bicycling. Mr. Senkowicz, 69, enjoys pickleball and shuffleboard. Those activities keep the couple busy during months they say would be relatively dull in the north country.
Here, there are free dances with live bands every Saturday and a heated pool and hot tub, Mrs. Senkowicz said.
Added Mr. Senkowicz, who retired in 2001 as a U.S. customs agent: Im able to get in a quick two weeks of hunting before we leave (Clayton), but after that the weather is too bad. I used to go ice fishing up there, but the reason you ice fish is because of boredom.
The Senkowiczes said they routinely keep in touch with Clayton friends by email and phone. They visit their only son, Ben J., and his family in Philadelphia, Pa. twice a year by making stops on the way to and from the Sunshine State.
i just dont like winter
Town of Watertown couple Steven T. and Barbara E. Harter, 68 and 67, respectively, became snowbirds for the first time this winter, flying down Nov. 10 to settle in at the house they bought in 2011 in Leesburg, Fla., about an hours drive northwest from Orlando.
The Harters took only two-week vacations in the previous two years because Mr. Harter worked full time as the supervisors administrative clerk for the town of LeRay; he retired in June after holding the post since 1974.
It was logical for the couple to become snowbirds, Mr. Harter said, because they have a 38-year-old son, Bryan J., living in Clearwater and a 37-year-old daughter, Kelly L., in nearby St. Petersburg. Their eldest son, 41-year-old Michael S., lives in Virginia.
We havent had any kids home for Christmas in a number of years because they didnt have time off to make it, Mr. Harter explained. Weve been flying or driving south for Thanksgiving for the past eight to 10 years. But this year, chances are the younger ones will come up to our house for Christmas because the drive is about 100 miles.
Mr. Harter already sounding like a seasoned snowbird said the couple wont feel any nostalgia for winter in the north country.
I grew up in the town of Rutland, and she grew up in the hamlet of Tylerville, and we both have survived the winter weather for years, Mr. Harter said. I used to have all of the toys, including a snowmobile and everything else. At one time I had three snow blowers. Ive shoveled and blown snow, played in the snow and had all of the experience Ive wanted with winter. I love the north country and its people, but I just dont like winter and have had enough.

The Official Online Newspaper of NAHB
While members of Congress are home for a two-week congressional spring recess, NAHBs more than 160,000 members are being urged to contact their representatives to help drum up support for soon-to-be introduced legislation designed to open up the lines of credit for new housing production.
Association members should ask their representatives to become original cosponsors of NAHB-supported legislation that is expected to be introduced in the House of Representatives in the near future by Reps. Gary Miller (R-Calif.) and Brad Miller (D-N.C) to address an acute shortage of acquisition, development and construction (AD&C) credit.
A special BuilderLink email alert with information about the pending legislation was sent to all NAHB members.
As we move into the spring home buying season, builders and developers across the country continue to suffer from a severe lack of credit for viable home building projects, which has major implications for the economy as a whole, said NAHB Chairman Bob Nielsen. ... Read More

President Obama on April 14 signed legislation supported by NAHB to repeal a burdensome tax paperwork requirement that could have cost small businesses thousands of dollars each year.
"During the past several months, NAHB led the effort along with other industry groups to strike all new expanded IRS Form 1099 reporting requirements for small businesses and owners of rental real estate," said NAHB Chairman Bob Nielsen.
"In testimony before Congress and in 'key vote' letters to House and Senate leaders, we spelled out how failing to overturn these rules would have killed jobs and placed a major paperwork and cost burden on home builders, Nielsen said. ...... Read More
Major housing markets such as Northern Virginia, Indianapolis, Minneapolis, San Diego and San Francisco are poised to see their home prices begin rising three to four points faster than the rate of inflation, a trend that will last for the next few years, according to Mark Zandi, chief economist with Moodys Analytics.
Among panelists participating in the upcoming NAHB Spring Construction Forecast Webinar, Zandi recently told Fortune magazine that he expects to see single-family housing starts climb to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 700,000 this year which will almost feel like a gallop compared to the total 470,000 single-family homes started in 2010. ......

The poll found that for each of eight environmental issues, the number of Americans who worry "a great deal" about them has dropped dramatically compared to a year ago. For six of the eight issues, the drop hit record lows.
In the case of three of the issues — waterways pollution, air pollution, and toxic waste contamination — the drops were 25 percentage points or more compared with 1989.
The poll also found that of the eight issues, Americans worried least about global warming. (They worried most about drinking water pollution.) The number of Americans who worried "a great deal" about global warming has dropped to 28 percent from 41 percent in 2007.
In a separate poll, the Gallup organization found a record number of Americans, 53 percent, say economic growth takes precedence, even if it hurts the environment, according to Frank Newport, Gallup's editor in chief.
"The economy is swamping everything," he told USA Today.
Well, there's more going on here than pocketbook issues.
For one thing, the poll likely contains some good news disguised as bad.
Chances are Americans are a lot less worried about water, air and toxic waste pollution than they were in 1989 because the country's air and water are a lot cleaner than they were 20 years ago, and thousands of toxic waste sites have been cleaned up.They may have concluded that environmentalists are incapable of distinguishing between minor impacts and existential threats and of setting priorities.
That's the good news. But then there's this from the New York Times.
According to green energy writer Todd Woody, the staff of the California Energy Commission last week recommended approval for the state's first new big solar power plant in nearly two decades — after a two-and-a-half-year environmental review.
Two-and-a-half-freaking-years to approve one lousy solar power plant to be built on desert land. And the process still isn't complete.
The plant in question is to be built at Ivanpah, Calif., by BrightSource Energy, the corporate successor of the company that built almost all of California's existing solar plants in the 1980s. It is designed to produce up to 392 megawatts of energy by using arrays of mirrors to concentrate sunlight on a central tower, where it will produce steam that will be used to drive a turbine.
The plant will produce no carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide, NOX or mercury emissions. And it will use relatively little water, because, unlike some solar thermal power plants, it will recycle its cooling water. The nearby golf courses will use more.
So why the two-and-onehalf-year approval process? Well, it turns out environmentalists were trying to block the project. According to Woody, the Sierra Club, Defenders of Wildlife and the Center for Biological Diversity say the plant would harm rare plants and animals like the desert tortoise — all the while claiming to be all for solar energy.
Surveys have found 25 desert tortoises on the site.
Other environmentalists claimed that the thousands of acres of mirror fields and 459-foot tower would mar the visual beauty of the desert.
The critics wanted BrightSource to move the plant to a site with more disturbed land. BrightSource demurred, because the current site is near existing high voltage transmission lines. (California enviros have been fighting the construction of new transmission lines, as well; their main complaints are habitat disturbance and aesthetics.)
So in order to get an approval BrightSource agreed to downsize the plant by 450 acres to accommodate the tortoises and the plants, reducing its generating capacity from 440 megawatts to 392 megawatts — and prompting the environmental groups to complain that it hadn't done enough.
The California Energy Commission's staffers disagreed, saying the mitigation measures were sufficient as far as the critters and shrubs were concerned. As for the visual impacts, they said they couldn't be reduced, but in view of "overriding considerations" (like saving the planet) the plant should be built anyway.
And it took two-and-a-half years to arrive at that point.
And what has been going on during that two-and-a-half years?
Well, the world's environmentalists have been telling us morning, noon and night that global warming poses a clear and present danger to both the planet and civilization as we know it — and that there's not a second to lose in reducing our carbon footprint. And they've been telling the American people that they are stupid for not embracing their warnings with more urgency.
Meanwhile, during the same twoand-a-half years, the United States has burned two-and-a-half billion tons of coal, producing about seven billion tons of carbon dioxide.
What do you suppose ordinary Americans make of all this? And make no mistake, the American people, having been told they are stupid, are paying attention.
Well, they probably concluded there isn't an environmental problem here that couldn't have been solved in 60 days had there been any real interest in solving it. They are probably wondering (as am I) why the tortoises weren't moved or put in a captive breeding program or offered up for adoption under an existing federal program. They probably also are wondering if the shade, water and fenced sanctuary of a solar plant might be attractive to them — kind of like marine life is attracted to offshore oil platforms.
They may also have concluded that environmentalists are totally incapable of distinguishing between minor impacts and existential threats and setting priorities.
And when the Gallup Poll comes calling, they say: If the Sierra Club doesn't have any real sense of urgency about global warming, why should we?

This column is so disorganized and poorly researched that it's difficult to make out what you're trying to accomplish.
So here's my best guess: You aim to expose efforts by three conservation groups to protect an imperiled animals and its habitat from being destroyed by ONE power-plant in California as the reason why fewer Americans chose global warming as a top political concern.
Really?!? But wait, you've got facts and stats on your side, right? Nope. The polling experts explicitly tell you that the economy is at the forefront of the public consciousness (which I give you credit for reporting it, even as it undermines the whole piece).
However, the real shame is that your overarching message, which is to get renewable energy moving so that we can slow down global warming, is cheapened by all the other problems with your column.
With a little research, you could have written a piece explaining how California could overcome siting problems by looking at what other sunny states, such as Arizona, are doing to promote renewable energy. Check out the Arizona Restoration Design Energy Project. It's a good example of how to balance development with conservation. The plan prioritizes projects sited on old landfills, abandoned mines or industrial waste sites, minimizing the conflicts you described above.
It's just getting off the ground and could use some support. Seems like a better way to get renewable energy up and running than criticizing enviros for just doing their jobs.

This Wetherspoon pub is named after the First Lord Denman, Lord Chief Justice of England.
This great reforming judge lived at Parsloes in Dagenham, from 1850-1852. Overwork had damaged his health and he came here in need of rest and recuperation. His wife, Theodosia, died here and was buried in Dagenham churchyard. He went on to Eton, where he gained a reputation as a debater with very liberal opinions, and then on to Cambridge University. He married and had 15 children. Lord Denman's efforts to abolish slavery, and his work on other causes and cases, brought about the collapse of his health. He was forced to resign as Lord Chief Justice in 1850. Although his health improved, his return to campaigning was soon followed by a stroke. He was never able to speak or write again, and died not long after in 1854. There were many tributes to his memory.

Drag and drop upload of files to content system – not working due to java version
Dear All
Recently Java released a new version for all webbrowsers, it has some security updates and one of these prevents people from uploading multiple files to blackboard content system.
Everything works fine while you open the upload and drag the files over. However when you click the submit button nothing happens. Blackboard corp have designed an update to resolve this problem – we will apply this update as soon as practical.
There are however ways that you can get around the problem now
- using single file upload (look in the top right when you are uploading and you can toggle from multiple to single file)
- Reduce the security level of your java (and then next week return it to its normal setting)
If you wish to reduce your java security level, click start, all programs, java, configure java. A box should appear called "Java Control Panel", click the security tab and set the security level down to medium. Obviously this leaves your computer less secure and so you should return the setting to high when you have finished working with Blackboard.
Update – our Chrome browsers are set to auto update the workaround using the lowering of security setting might not work with Chrome version that was released Friday afternoon, however if you use IE it will work fine

A major milestone has been recorded in the quest to eliminate the incidence of building collapse in the country in general and Lagos State in particular with the commencement of a re-training programme for construction industry artisans involved in mixing concrete.
Instead of leaving the artisans to use their innate knowledge to handle building construction, professionals in the industry, who are members of the Building Collapse Prevention Guild, took them through modern methodologies and techniques of mixing strong concrete and handling complex construction projects.
Members of the guild used the occasion of a one-day workshop organised for concrete managers and artisans in Lagos State on Wednesday to preach the gospel of building collapse prevention.
The workshop was jointly organised by BCPG and the state Ministry of Physical Planning and Urban Development.
Experts, including builders, architects, surveyors, engineers and town planners, as well as project managers involved in concrete mixing, demonstrated to the artisans the standard sand, granite, cement and water mixture ratio for concrete works for various building types and elements.
The Commissioner for Physical Planning and Urban Development, Mr. Olutoyin Ayinde, in a welcome address, commended BCPG for organising the workshop, adding that there was the need for continuous education and enlightenment of members of the public on the building process in order to prevent the incidence of collapse.
He said professionals and artisans, including concrete mixers, must cultivate the right construction culture.
Ayinde called for the strengthening of the Standards Organisation of Nigerian to enable them to monitor the standard of building materials in use in the country.
The commissioner said, "In order to tackle the incidence of collapse, there must be prosecution of professionals/developers who move to site without development permit and engage in other sharp practices, as well as redefining of roles of professionals in the building process to mention a few.
"Of equal importance, there is the need for continued constructive engagement and involvement of all professionals, technical experts and artisans in the construction industry. All hands must be on deck."
"The state will readily welcome and accept constructive criticisms and appreciate the coming into being of the BCPG. We identify with your aim and objectives and see you as partners in progress in the state," he added.
Ayinde said in a bid to check collapse of buildings, the government established the Lagos State Building Control Agency to combat the monster.
"Collapse of building is an ill wind that blows no one any good. It is in the light of this that the Building Control Agency was created to combat collapse of buildings. The agency has since a couple of months ago swung into action," he said.
The Chairman, BCPG, Mr. Kunle Awobodu, said professionals in the built environment were the most affected whenever buildings collapsed, as their professional competence was usually called into questions by members of the public.
The remedy, according to him, is for professionals in the sector to rise to the challenge and be involved in a mass movement to curtail the ugly trend.
"The expanding scope of building collapse in a grim situation where words are not being matched with action gave birth to BCPG, an emergency body that should be piloted by construction professionals, who understand the intricacies of building construction process and lapses," Awobodu said.
He said bringing together concrete workers and production managers was a major step to promoting standard construction, adding that concreting was a vital sector in construction.
The BCPG chairman said the brittleness of concrete debris recovered at sites of collapsed buildings had underscored the need to pay proper attention to the sector.
"Discipline needs to be instilled in that sector and improvement in the concrete production process will enhance standard in the sector. And this is the essence of this workshop," he explained.
The President, Association of Professional Bodies of Nigeria, Mr. Bala Ka'oje, commended BCPG for the initiative and also Lagos State Government for creating the LASBCA.
He bemoaned the spate of building collapse in the country, adding that the emergence of BCPG would make it possible for anybody that wanted to construct to know the need to follow rules.
The President, Nigerian Institute of Architects, Alhaji Haruna Ibrahim, said there was the need to establish the source of cement being used for building projects in the country so as to prevent collapse, while also calling on the government to start punishing people found culpable in incidents of building collapse to serve as deterrent to others.
He also called on the state government to conduct structural integrity test on existing buildings to determine their fitness for human habitation.

A German with a sense of humor does exist. I was watching Deutsche Welle last night and it was actually in German instead of English. I swear every time I turn on that channel, people are talking in English… Anyway, there was a report on Moritz Volz (he's a Fulham footballer/soccer player) and how he likes to ride around London on his bike. You have to check out his website. The song on the main page kills me.
See him cycle down the Fulham road
His German sausage in his hand
He plays football but he hardly ever scores
He dreams of Knight Rider and the fatherland
Ja, Ja, he is an alien, a humorous Westphalien
He's a German man in West London
The Where It's At page includes useful German phrases, such as Wo kann ich die neue David Hasselhoff CD kaufen? When is David Hasselhoff's new album out? and Mir juckt's in der Lederhose. My lederhosen are a little itchy.
The Hoff love is real. We all know that David Hasselhoff saved the world. Click on the picture if you don't believe me. If it's tagged on an abandoned building in east Berlin, it must be true, right?

FOX making good on their promise to throw out the pilot season model, offering early renewals to four of its hits.
Over the weekend, the network announced that three of their Tuesday night comedies series would return in the fall, including "New Girl," "The Mindy Project" and the Golden Globe-winning freshman series "Brooklyn Nine-Nine."
One other series, Kevin Bacon's "The Following," also received a season 3 pickup, according to The Futon Critic.
The four shows join the previously-renewed "Sleepy Hollow," as well as "Glee" and "Bones," both of which are expected to end their runs next season.
FOX announced earlier this year that they will no longer adhere to the common broadcast model of ordering pilots in winter months, before announcing new and returning series in May.
The network's scripted shows that are currently awaiting their fate include the other Tuesday night comedy, "Dads," as well as "Enlisted," "Raising Hope" and "Almost Human."
Are you glad that this quartet will be back next year? Weigh in below!

Artist: Widespread Panic
Album: Free Somehow
Label: Widespread Records
Genre: Rock, Southern Rock, Jam Band
Comments: Okay, the album sticker is just a blatant lie if you know anything about Widespread Panic: they are nothing like Band of Horses and Wilco. That doesn't make Free Somehow a bad album, however. Widespread brings guitar and drums rock to their 18th (I think?) album that has become synonymous with them and their jam band counterparts. If you like Phish, Dave Matthews, or really, even Jack Black in School of Rock, you'll probably enjoy this.

Preserved Meyer Lemons
This recipe comes from Alison Altomari, who works for the California Olive Oil Council and has a blog, www.alaalison.com
Yield: two medium mason jars/or about 4 small ones.
Meyer lemons
About 2 to 3 cups of fresh lemon juice
Kosher Salt
California Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Whole peppercorns
Whole juniper berries (optional)
Bay leaves
In advance: Start by scrubbing the lemons to remove any dirt. Sanitize the jars and lids by a quick dip in a hot water bath, or 30 minutes on a baking sheet in the oven at 250 degrees. Allow the jars to cool completely before starting this.
Juice the lemons. Prep the lemons for your jars. I had two small jars and one large.
For the small jars, slices are the way to go. Slice the lemons and toss them in a bowl with a generous amount of salt. So much salt that each slice is coated. Add about a 1/4" of salt to the bottom of the jar to start. Then stack them in your jar, adding a couple peppercorns and bay leaves (and juniper berries if using). Really pack the lemons in tight.
For the larger jars, start with about 1/2" of salt on the bottom of the jar. Quarter the lemons, but do not cut through, leave the bottom intact so they are still connected to the stem. Open up the lemon and pack with salt. Close it back up and repeat for as many lemons as you can fit in this jar. Add a few peppercorns and bay leaves. Pack it tight.
After the lemons are in the jars, top the jars with lemon juice to fill almost to the top. Add a bit of olive oil on the surface so the jar is full. Seal close.
Store for one month in a cool, dark spot like a pantry. Shake them up every few days. Refrigerate after opening - lasts one month in fridge, up to one year unopened.
The finished product will be glossy, soft and fragrant. Cut up the peel for use with grains, salads or fish. The pulp is great with dressings or to flavor meats before roasting or grilling.

Get Your Jack In The Box From A Truck

Lakers PhotosLakers vs. FC Barcelona The Los Angeles Lakers face off with Pau Gasol's former team and European Champions FC Barcelona on October 7, 2010. Nike's House of Hoops In Barcelona and Basketball Clinic Kobe Bryant and Pau Gasol go against Ricky Rubio and Juan Carlos Navarro on a 2-on-2 game Lakers Travel To London Pilots hold up a Lakers flag before the Los Angeles Lakers travel to London at LAX on September 30, 2010, in Los Angeles, California. Barcelona Goes Crazy For The Lakers The Lakers arrived in Barcelona, Spain to huge crowds and lots of media at their practice inside Palau Blaugrana stadium. Lakers star Pau Gasol is from Spain.
LOS ANGELES (CBS) — Jack in the Box is fueled up and ready to roll it's Jumbo Jack and Spicy Chicken to the people.
The fast food chain has jumped on the food truck band wagon — literally — with it's big, bad "Munchie Mobile". Bigger and badder than the competition, that is.
The truck is about 12-feet longer than the average food truck — too big to drive through its own restaurants — and is covered in 70s inspired van art including the Jack Bobble head. Along with custom fridge and freezer units, it's got the same equipment as a restaurant kitchen, including grill, fryer, toaster, fountain beverage dispenser and prep area for burgers, sandwiches and tacos. It's also got a fancy 47-inch flat screen digital menuboard and satellite radio to entertain guests.
But you'll have to wait for your mobile fix, the truck is set to hit San Diego's Gaslamp Quarter next month, then Orange County and finally Los Angeles. Is Jack worth waiting for?

Salutations, loyal beings, and allow me to greet you to a wonderful edition of the Impact Write-Up. This week, we bring forth the second edition of "Open Fight Night", but will it prove to be as useful to someone as the first was to Brooke Tessmacher when she challenged Gail Kim to a non-title match? We will have to see as this time it's Gail and her bestest friend in the world, Madison Rayne, teaming up to battle ODB and her husband. Although the match may not be for the titles, bragging rights can go a long way in determining the next challenger, and hey, ODB is actually on TV again so that's always a good thing. Without any further ado, let us jump into this recap as we stand only a mere week away from the arrival of my Knockout savior and god of all beings, Brooke Hogan!
We head out to the arena where the STILL addicting theme song of our devious Knockouts Champion, Gail Kim hits. Gail and her cohort in crime, Madison Rayne (complete with "Queen of TNA" sash) make their way out to the ring. Madison's attention seems elsewhere, but Kim is in a take-no-prisoners mood tonight. And hey — HEY — IS THAT, I mean WAS THAT ANGELINA LOVE? Did Angelina Love just make an appearance? Are my eyes deceiving me? Did I inhale too much of my freshly made Paula Deen bacon lovers buffet that I'm hallucinating? By the time I can refocus, Gail Kim now has a microphone and takes a page out of Tony the Tiger's playbook by discussing how being herself is GRRRRREAT!
Not only is she the reigning Knockouts Champion, but she is also the most dominant TNA Knockouts Champion in the hi… IT'S ANGELINA LOVE! Angelina Love is in front of my eyes on an actual Impact! Gail Kim continues giving us a history lesson, stating that SHE built this division… no, she IS this division, and everything revolves around her! Madison seems to be focused on doing her makeup, and I guess it's for the mystery man she's been interested in as of late. Nonetheless, Gail prides herself in being the most important Knockout in the company, albeit there is one small blemish, she says. She discusses that it DISGUSTS her that the Knockout Tag Team Titles are being represented by a man and a so-called woman! Because of this fact, Gail is going to take this opportunity to demand that she and Madison face Mr. and Mrs. ODB.
HEY LOOK IT'S VELVET SKY OUT OF NOWHERE! Oh, but here comes ODB and her husband out to the ring performing their comedic entrance. The bell sounds as Gail shoves ODB's partner back and administers a wrist lock. Mr. ODB reverses it, but Gail then locks in a headlock. He reverses it again, as Gail uses the knees to escape and they exchange waist locks. This pisses ODB off, and forces her to tag herself in and level Gail with some forearms and a chest push! ODB hits a huge fallaway slam and kips up, before knocking Madison off as we go to a commercial. Upon return, Gail knocks ODB down with a clothesline, as we get a recap of some type of move ODB and Mr. ODB went for during the break. Gail then forces Madison in, as Rayne kicks ODB in the chest and begins screaming at her.
Madison connects with a running boot to the head for a two count as she then keeps the beatdown going with a tag to Gail. They throw ODB in the corner as Gail sends Madison right into her. Kim looks to complete the double team move, but Madison simply tries to exit the ring… clearly thinking about her crush. This frustrates Gail, who storms over towards Rayne and demands an explanation. Character development for the win! ODB then spears Gail to the canvas as both women try to crawl and make a tag. The tags are complete, but Madison seems uninterested in ODB's partner. Suddenly, she starts to deck him with some forearms and a slap, as he removes his tights and hip tosses both women. A body slam soon follows, but ODB DEMANDS he put his damn pants on, questioning if he plans to "knock 'em up!"
ODB tags herself in and takes Gail down with a series of shoulder tackles. She hits a running powerslam, but only for a two count. ODB sets up for the BAM, as Gail fights out and goes for a running crossbody. ODB catches her, but Madison trips ODB up and Gail lands on top of her! Madison holds the legs down for the three count, as both Mr. and Mrs. ODB chase the two devious ladies to the back.
Thoughts: We'll get to the match soon, but first I must discuss Gail Kim's beautiful promo. I know mic work has always been the fuel fans use against Miss Kim, but I personally thought she was on fire here. Even though she hasn't had many to compare it to, this was easily her best work speaking wise, in my opinion, and I thought she came off as full of herself (in character of course), yet funny all at the same time. From building herself up in character to basically what fans have been saying about her was a brilliant move, and I like how she takes the insults and adds them to her character. I think that's what helped this come off so well because she had legitimate material to use. In some weird way, the detractors helped her execute her best work on the microphone!
The match was fine for what it was, but I moreso loved the character development. Gail and Madison's miscommunication due to Rayne's attention being elsewhere was the type of stuff that I've been saying I missed with the Knockouts. Top that off with Gail's promo, and ODB (hilariously) screaming at EY (yes, he gets that distinction because he didn't bother me tonight), you have a great night for Knockouts. Now if only TNA could find roles for the rest of the female roster, I would seriously have no complaints at all. I beg you, Miss Hogan, bring the rest of these women back to my screen!
Speaking of which, I'm so excited for Brooke to debut next week. She's gotten a lot of hate for this role, but the girl has already gotten the Knockouts spoken about or appearing on several news outlets, so that's a plus. Not to mention, I watched her show (don't judge me) for two seasons, and I find her to be an interesting character that I enjoy watching. I do hope she enters as a heel, or at least transitions into one where the "power" goes to her head, because I feel like she would shine and bring me the joy that I have SEVERELY missed in the absence of Miss Karen. So whether I'm the only person cheering Brooke's addition to Impact or not, I seriously cannot wait for next week.

California, Courtship Connection, Holidays and Seasons, Romance and Dating, Silicon Valley
Happy Valentine's Day to you if you have a date lined up tonight! For the rest of you, Happy Staying-In-To-Watch-A-Movie-And-Drink-With-Your-Single-Friends Day. Last year, two Washington lawyers actually let me set them up on a V-Day date. This year, with my pool of Chicago candidates, I didn't bother. I wouldn't wish the boring Chicago dating scene on my worst enemy. Playing matchmaker and condemning more lonely souls to a yawn-inducing evening is as cruel as running a dog-fighting ring. At least the latter leads to a little biting and scratched backs for the participants.
So Courtship Connection is moving on and heading West. Hey San Francisco, do you have any single types willing to put their love lives into ATL's not-so-capable hands? Fill out our survey! I will try to send you out on a blind date with a seemingly-compatible fellow legal type. You will dish the dirt afterwards. I will write about it, keeping you anonymous. And ATL commenters will provide their sincere, caring, and helpful commentary.
While waiting for the California girls and boys to jump into our dating pool, I will share with you the final Chicago date. Like the others, it did not go well. Why? Someone's inferiority complex killed the mood….
There was a mutual attraction between these twenty-something lawyers, which seemed promising, especially given their low expectations for the night. She says:
By date night, I wasn't exactly looking forward to meeting this guy. We met at Rootstock, a bar that sounds a little casual-pretentious and isn't close to my office or my apartment. Kash told me I was looking for a dude carrying the Chicago daily law bulletin and wearing jeans, blue and white striped shirt, and black-framed glasses. Really? The men's casual uniform is supposed to help me identify you? And what does the daily law bulletin even look like? I feared I was meeting a law student who was trying too hard.
The poor blind-date clothing selection by Men's Casual may have been from lack of experience. He says:
I'd never been on a blind date nor had I been on a totally blind date set up by someone that I had never met. That said, I am usually willing to give anything a try. That's exactly how I got submitted for consideration to the ATL Courtship Connection: One of my friends decided to sign me up for this and I decided to go along with it.
Okay, so he's not the type to take charge, but he is willing to roll with an adventure. That's not terrible.
Our lady lawyer brought a coffee cup to identify herself. Starbucks Mermaid says she arrived five minutes late; Men's Casual says she was right on time. So they've already got that going for them… She said:
Dude was cute and super nice. He was not the douchey law student I dreaded, but an associate my age. Conversation came pretty easily. We talked about sports, bad tv (but isn't it all bad?), and work. Lots and lots of work. I suppose this is okay; I still love my job as a junior biglaw associate, which is why I don't mind talking about it. And he's more experienced and at a smaller firm, so it was interesting to hear about how his practice differs from mine.
Cute, nice, and experienced? She sounds hooked. He says:
After the initial awkwardness of being on a blind date subsided (all of about thirty seconds) we quickly went about getting to know each other… My hope was that I wasn't going to do anything that would open myself up to massive humiliation on the pages of this website. Since I am a klutz, I was fairly certain I would spill wine all over myself or her at some point during the night.
Rest assured. No clothes were harmed in the making of this date.
We spent the next two or three hours talking about every topic that we could cram into the conversation. She was a cute girl, extremely intelligent and plying her trade in the halls of BigLaw. Lord only knows what she thought of my law degree from an online university (kidding) and that I am one ambulance chase away from being a cheesy lawyer joke (somewhat kidding). It was definitely two different worlds being represented at the table that night and I enjoyed spending time with someone that wasn't doing the exact same sort of work that I do.
Danger, danger. Self-deprecation is not a turn-off, but a true sense of inferiority is. He sounds like Aladdin having dinner with Princess Jasmine here. Unfortunately, Men's Casual didn't have a chance to rub a magic lamp, or anything else:
Two or three glasses of wine and a cheese tray later, we called it a night. I walked her to her car and we said good night.
Starbucks Mermaid did feel a little like a fish out of water:
I was a little distracted by the venue, which I disliked. Rootstock is the kind of place with mismatched furniture and dishes, and 7,802 beers and wines on the drink list. Places like this annoy the shit out of me. If you order wine at a small establishment with a bloated wine list, you're likely to get a glass of last night's bottle. Ew. I also don't think it's cute when chairs look like they came from Goodwill and dishes are chipped. This isn't college, Rootstock. I don't hold the bar selection against my date because it's a decent neighborhood bar and close to his place, but I'd have preferred a more straightforward establishment: a nicer wine bar, a dive bar, or even an ultra-hip $20-martinis bar.
She continues:
While I had a nice time and gave him my number, I am a little on the fence about going out again. I also left without sufficient information to launch my standard google/facebook investigation, which puts me at a bit of an information disadvantage. Whoops. All in all it was a nice night, which is all you can ask for on a blind date, right?
Unfortunately, Men's Casual never called Ariel. When I asked him why, he said:
Nope, there was no second date. I do wonder if there had been what would have transpired but it just never did.
Ladies and gentlemen, that attitude is how we end up single on Valentine's Day. We need a little more carpe diem and a little less carping about your different worlds.

Well, it's a story that's decades old being replayed over and over: artist doesn't want to sign her or his tracks over to a big label, label makes its own version and passes it off as original. Today's culprit: Will.i.am's and Chris Brown's "Let's Go," which bears quite a resemblance to Arty and Mat Zo's "Rebound."
– Give a listen to Will.i.am's and Chris Brown's new track "Let's Go," and tell us if you hear the resemblance to Arty and Mat Zo's "Rebound." If you do, there's a good reason why: "Arty and I are not bitter about this, more surprised. We knew Will.i.am was interested in this track, but declined working with him at the time," said Zo on his Facebook page. There's also accusation that Will.i.am ripped off Sandro Silva's and Quintino's "Epic" for a different track on his new album. (full story)

No, she was a young mother with an eight year old child in Downtime. Probably late 20s, so she's maybe born around 1967 (so either a baby or a schoolgirl when her father's career takes an unexpected turn), and would be in her mid 40s by Power of Three.
Indeed. Check out

Except that if as Sarah Jane said she's from 1980 while the show was set in 1975, Kate would be five years older than that, I think.

How Breast Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is Used
UW Health's radiology services in Madison, Wisconsin offer magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), one of the most advanced and rapidly evolving clinical imaging tools available in medicine today.
How Breast Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is Currently Used
Presently, MRI breast imaging is being used for:
- Staging newly diagnosed or existing cancer so that the proper treatment can be provided. This means measuring the size of the cancer and determining whether there is more than one breast cancer.
- Detecting occult breast cancer when positive axillary lymph nodes are present but the mammogram is negative.
- Distinguishing postoperative scar versus tumor recurrence when there are new changes at a lumpectomy scar.
- Screening in high-risk patients with a breast cancer gene mutation or history of radiation to the chest for the treatment of Hodgkin's disease.
- Monitoring response to neo-adjuvant chemotherapy given before surgery for breast cancer.
- Determining close or positive surgical margins if not found on path.
- Evaluating integrity of breast implants to decide if the implant is ruptured and what type of rupture has occurred.
- Solving issues that could not be satisfactorily resolved by diagnostic mammography or ultrasound.
High-risk Screening
MRI has previously been proven extremely useful in the evaluation, staging and monitoring of breast cancer and other breast problems. Recently, however, several studies have also demonstrated its ability to detect early breast cancer in high-risk women (screening). This has prompted the American Cancer Society to issue formal guidelines for breast MRI screening of high-risk women in addition to the recommended yearly mammogram.
The following women should undergo yearly breast MRI screening beginning at or around 30 years of age:
- Known carriers of BRCA 1 or BRCA 2 mutations
- First-degree relatives with known BRCA 1 or BRCA 2 mutations
- Clinical lifetime risk estimated at greater than 20 percent using clinical risk estimator (the BRCAPRO model are among the tools suggested)
- Known Cowden's, Li-Fraumeni or Bannayan-Riley-Ruvalcaba syndrome or first-degree affected relative
In women at high genetic or familial risk of breast cancer, MRI has high sensitivity (up to 94 percent) for the detection of breast cancer when used as an adjunct to mammography. This increase in sensitivity may lead to an earlier diagnosis of malignant breast lesions. However, MRI and mammography combined may lead to an increase in false positives, resulting in higher rate of benign biopsies. At this time there are no studies on the differential effect of screening modalities on mortality or long-term outcomes.
Evidence is inconclusive regarding the following situations and DOES NOT YET SUPPORT routine breast MRI screening:
- Clinical lifetime risk estimated at 15 percent to 20 percent using clinical risk estimator
- Previous lobular carcinoma in situ (LCIS), atypical lobular hyperplasia (ALH), atypical ductal hyperplasia (ADH) biopsy results
- Previous history of breast cancer including ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS)
- Extremely dense mammogram (density 4)

Gophers fall out of top 25 in RPI, but likely still NCAA-bound
Get the 1500 ESPN SportsWire delivered to your inbox daily, and keep up with all the news in Twin Cities Sports
Once one of the top-10 teams in the country, the Gophers men's basketball team has, for the first time, landed on the NCAA tournament bubble.
After losing to Illinois in the first round of the Big 10 tournament on Thursday, the Gophers fell several spots to No. 33 in the RPI rankings. They also fell to No. 31 in ESPN's BPI rankings, and to No. 24 in Ken Pomeroy's rankings.
If history is any indication, the Gophers -- coming from a major conference -- likely would have to be 40th or worse in the RPI to be in real danger of missing the tournament.
But it's worth noting at least five teams have missed the NCAA tournament over the past 15 years with better RPI rankings than the Gophers currently have:
'05-06 Missouri State (No. 21)
'96-97 Texas Tech (No. 29)
'05-06 Hofstra (No. 30)
'06-07 Air Force (No. 30)
'07-08 Dayton (No. 32)
Of those five teams, only Texas Tech (Big 12) came from a major conference, and it's likely the Gophers will receive more consideration than a bubble-bound mid-major.
According to RPI, the Gophers played the second most difficult schedule in the country. According to Pomeroy, the Gophers played the toughest.
The Gophers haven't won a road game since Jan. 9 at Illinois -- their only road conference win of the season.

For law enforcement and visitors, videoconferencing could save time and money. At the Lauderdale Detention Center in Alabama, jail administrators want a videoconferencing system to become the new visiting window. If the system is implemented, visitors with a computer can talk to an inmate whenever they want, while jailors can save time releasing inmates for visiting hours.
According to WHNT, jailors do spend a significant amount of time transporting prisoners from their cells to the visiting area. Of course, they have to take them there, wait, and then take them back to their cell when they are finished. Their jail administrator, Jackie Keenum said that the system would work to solve some of those problems.
While the videoconferencing system has some obvious benefits, it would cost money. For the detention center, it could cost over $100,000, and family members would have to pay a fee. If visitors don't have a computer at home, one would be provided for them. Although there is a cost, it will save both time and money for those who have to travel long distances to visit an inmate.
If you're looking for a videoconferencing, or VoIP system for your facility, contact Capture Technologies. We are dedicated to creating simple solutions for your business.

Force-Facing Our Risk of Cancer Empowered
Thank you for visiting our fundraising page!
We are raising $10,000 to sponsor the Karen Huckfeldt Memorial Fund.
My mom, Karen, died of ovarian cancer November 15, 2003. I was three months pregnant with her first grandchild, my son Jack never got to know his grandma and we all lost the most important person in our lives. Ask anyone who knew her and they will tell you she was the kindest person they ever knew. She was sweet, kind, loving, stubborn, crafty, beautiful, smart and open hearted. She was a registered nurse and public health advocate, and worked in student health services at Oregon Health and Science University for 25 years! I think she would be embarassed - but so proud - to have her name associated with efforts that would raise awareness and educate people.
This fund is being established at the nonprofit organization called FORCE. Facing Our Risk of Cancer Empowered (FORCE) is dedicated to advocacy, awareness and support for those affected by hereditary cancer.
My family hereditary cancer story begins with my grandma Marian who died of ovarian cancer in January 2000. She was a two-time survivor of breast cancer and fought the ovarian cancer for 11 months, but died at the age of 89. At that time, my mom asked for prophylactic surgery for both breasts and ovaries, but was told by her insurance company and doctors that she was not high risk because my grandma was so old when she was diagnosed. She began having severe pains over the next few months which she attributed to an arthritic stenosis in her back. In October 2000, she thought she had appendicitis only to discover it was not; surgery confirmed it was Stage III ovarian cancer - widespread through her abdomen. She would be alive if she could have had the preventive surgery, she would be alive if they knew.
She had genetic testing done before she died and they discoved a variant of uncertain significance on her BRCA2 gene. She wanted our family to be tested also. It took me five years to finally do it - and I discovered that I had the gene also. I had already made the decision to have my ovaries out when my mom died; I was too scared of the possibilities if I didn't. But I needed more information on when, and how, and the risks, and the menopause! Executing my decision turned out to be harder than I thought it would be. I found FORCE shortly after this and was so relieved to find "my people"! I applied for, and received, a scholarship from the Linda Pedraza Scholarship Fund to attend the FORCE annual conference in June of 2009. Attending gave me the gifts of knowledge, support and empowerment. I was able to move forward and had the life saving surgery they wouldn't give my mom. In December 2010, I had a bi-lateral salpingo oopherectomy and hysterectomy and feel so relieved. I owe much to this organization, and that scholarship, and am so grateful for the amazing work they do.
This fund may well save someone else's life and for that we can all be proud to contribute in my mom's name! Many thanks to each and every one of you for all your support.
