RSW getting first full-body scanner
Some passengers at Southwest Florida's main airport will soon be getting a different once-over by security.
The Transportation Safety Administration will have the first full-body scanner up and running at Southwest Florida International Airport beginning Friday, the federal agency confirmed.
For now there will only be one machine, said Sari Koshetz, a Miami-based TSA spokeswoman. How many more, and when they will be installed, is not being disclosed.
The full-body scanner at the Concourse C security checkpoint, which serves Continental, Delta, and Delta Connection flights, uses electromagnetic waves to detect items that may be concealed. In theory, it will not change how long it takes to go through security, Koshetz said. Carry-on luggage will still need to go through the X-ray machine.
Passengers with joint replacements may find they get through faster, she added, because the scan can eliminate the need for a pat-down when medical devices set off traditional metal detectors.
The scanner is part of a nationwide rollout of the machines at airports since 2007.
In large part, the scanners — which provide a full-body image — were developed to detect metallic and non-metallic items that could pose security threats.
Privacy concerns arose when the full-body scanners were initially introduced five years ago. After the passenger stepped into the machine for a few seconds with his or her arms up, the initial software provided the image of the nude surface of the skin under clothing. This lead to a public debate over what was deemed private, since the machines reveal to staff viewing the images can see prosthetics and other medical devices like catheters and colostomy bags, which would not be visible with traditional metal detectors.
Worries about detailed body images were partially resolved with new software that accompanies the machine. The images reviewed now are a generic outline of a body that is identical for all passengers, with potential concealed items highlighted on the screen.
TSA explains on its blog that the full-body scan is optional. Individuals who opt out must undergo alternative screening, which will include a pat-down.
The imaging technology meets national health and safety standards. A single scan projects energy that is thousands of times less than a cell phone transmission, according to the TSA.

It was day two of the community forum. Katrina evacuee Louis Green came to the meeting looking for information so he could decide what he needs to do next. He's relocated his family to Beaumont and has one year's worth of housing assistance. Green is hoping to get some direction. Green owned a business in the trade show industry in New Orleans.
Katrina evacuee John Hayes' house had seven feet of water. After resettling 18 members of his extended family to Houston, Hayes' is in a wait and see mode.
Patrice Newman's parents and family have relocated to Houston. She says it's getting harder to find out what is happening in New Orleans and specifically to their properties.
Newman does know that her parent's houses are destroyed and can't be rebuilt. She hopes to be able to rebuild her home sometime in the next year. Newman came away from the meeting with the sense that everything is still on hold.

…the whackos come out to play. I don't mind (at all) the notion or reality of an opposing party based on reason and differing philosophical governing views: small government, etc. I do mind—indeed, as a non-stop patriot (unlike these whackos, who are fair-weather fans) I hate the notion that our nation is half-ruled by a bunch of haters. Say it ain't so, are there any non-loving Rush, Bush and Coulter Republicans out there?

More Fulbrights for Islamists
by Daniel Pipes
In "Fulbright's Terrorist Tie," Asaf Romirowsky and I exposed in October 2003 that the J. William Fulbright Board of Foreign Scholarships had invited to the United States a Hamas figure, Mustafa Abu Sway, then arranged a teaching position for and paid his salary. (I then supplemented this with more information, including specifics from his classroom at Florida Atlantic University, at "Mustafa Abu-Sway, Islamist.") I did enjoy this task of exposure, having been some years back the vice-chairman of the Fulbright Board.
It gave me even less pleasure to read "Fulbright's Terror Supporter," where Olivier Guitta and Ilan Weinglass establish that the board has done it again, this time granting a scholarship and visa to a Moroccan Islamist:
Comment: This mistake fits into a much larger pattern, which I have documented at "The U.S. Government's Poor Record on Islamists." (April 20, 2006)

Striped Linen-Blend Tee: Cool and comfortable relaxed fit tee in a lightweight and luxurious linen blend with gorgeous texture. You'll love it layered under a blazer or worn over your favorite cami.
Read what customers are saying about this product:
Rating: 3.64 out of 11 votes cast
Very pretty, simple top in easy care linen. Somewhat thin, so underwear should be neutral colored.
I ordered 3 more!
I originally bought one to match the sea glass blazer but it's so light weight and cool I bought 3 more. They rinse out in the sink and drip dry on a hanger to make them perfect for travel.

Looks Fantastic
Matched other sweater perfect, fit & looks great!!!

Great Fit, Great Look
Looks great, fits great & feels great.....
too thin
It is a cute t-shirt, but I have never seen a material so thin. I cannot wear it without a cami or tank top underneath. And it needs to be ironed after it is washed.
Flower child
Dallas Texas
Thin but in a delicate way, not sleezy. This sheer linen knit is featured in a lot of very expensive catalogs and stores catering to trendy juniors... If you're a junior, allow your bra to peek through, for me, a nylon cami does it... LOVE that the stripes match perfectly all around, front meeting back exactly, nothing crooked...
The medium was too big but the small worked fine. I've never had that problem before. Feels good and so lightweight.
Light Tee
The fit is good and it's true to size. The material is very light but for a summer tee, I think I will keep it. The sheerness is not see through although it reminds me of tissue paper.
Colonia, NJ
I like it!
Yes, the fabric is thin, but I still thought this was a good product for spring/summer wear. The colors are nice. I bought in XL even though I normall wear M or L. I have learned to buy things a bit bigger from Chadwick's just in case. The XL was fine.

Cable Companies to Offer a La Carte Channels
Cable Companies May Offer à La Carte Freedom
In the past, the cable industry argued that bundled programming provides the best value to customers. But with higher costs from networks and the popularity of web viewing, cable companies are working on allowing customers to subscribe to individual channels. According to Reuters, "Comcast Corp. and Time Warner Cable, the two largest operators have lost 1.2 million video customers in the 12 months to June 30." Sports channels like ESPN are the most expensive options, and the option to pick and choose channels is a way for customers to avoid a pricey all-in-one monthly plan. The à la carte programing system may be a way for providers to entice those who dropped cable from their list of monthly bills to return as happy subscribers.
It's still unclear exactly how possible à la carte cable subscription plans will work. Basic cable plus the option to add specific channels or tiered channel subscriptions? Whatever the options may be, cable may again rise as the top option for home entertainment.

Every week, WoW Insider brings you Totem Talk for elemental, enhancement and restoration shaman. Want to be a sultan of swing healing? A champion of Chain Heal? Totem Talk: Restoration, brought to you by Joe Perez (otherwise known as Lodur from World of Matticus and content creation at InternetDragons.TV), shows you how.
Anyone who has followed me on Twitter or happened to look at my streams will have likely read some choice words flow from my finger tips based on the first two fights in the current tier of raiding. It's not that they are particularly hard fights, but they are a test of your coordination as a group. There are a ton of elements to the fights, multiple sources of damage at any given point of time, and of course some pretty high damage spikes built in because we just love those.
The good news is that these first two fights in the Mogu'shan Vaults are in reality quite shaman healer friendly. Despite the damage, and the multiple mechanics, our toolkit makes us go-to healers on these first two fights. There are some tricks and helpful hints I can offer you to help squeeze all the healing juice you can in the fight.
Chipping away at the Stone Guard
The first thing that you will notice is that this is a boss encounter involving not one, not two but four boss mobs to contend with! You will notice that there are some similarities between this fight and some other multiple boss mob fights, I'm looking at you here Omnomnom defense force! There are some things to note here that will make the fight a little easier for you. First off all, the fight is very mastery friendly. One of the major damage points is whenever one of the statues Overloads. It deals a massive amount of damage raid wide, and it gets people low enough that your mastery will kick in and cover the healing spread quite a bit. For this reason you may want to make sure that you enter this fight with a healthy helping of mastery to make sure you can get some turbo charged Healing Rain and Healing Stream Totem happening. It sounds like a goofy point to make but most raid strats call for the raid group to be fairly close together because of all the mob switching and taunting that has to go on. This presents a perfect opportunity to let loose the ridiculousness that is resto shaman AoE healing. If you position it correctly you can catch melee and ranged and really push out the healing and to help stabilize the raid after an overload.
Using a Glyph of Riptide is also really handy in this fight. There will be a ton of things that people will have to make minor adjustments to navigate around, this includes yourself. Having that Riptide have no cooldown whatsoever lets you pre-hot if you see any raiders about to stick their feet in bad, and that's a good thing, and something I would highly recommend utilizing. Another tool that I found surprisingly useful in this fight was Totemic Projection. I was really surprised about this, as I've been struggling to find a spot where this talent was useful and I finally found it. There will wind up being quite a number of things on the ground at any given point in time. In more than one occasion I personally found myself cut off from the group due to mechanics and out of position for Spirit Link Totem. With projection however, I was able to drop and move the totem on the fly to save a tank and several DPS from biting it. I was pretty surprised when that talent popped up with a check mark in the useful column, but there you have it. Another surprise MVP is Glyph of Chaining. That 4 second cooldown isn't actually all that bad, but the 100% extra jump distance can be a life safer if you're cut off from your group, or you have a straggler in the raid that you need to keep from visiting the graveyard. Try it out and you'll have a pile of rubble at your feet in no time.
Taking the bite out of Feng
Feng the Accursed just loves to pour out the damage. More than anything else though he is an execution fight, but more so on the tank end of the raider spectrum. Positioning, taunt swapping and using the built in fight mechanics of the Shroud of Reversal and the Nullification Barrier. Your tanks will have their work cut out for them, but even when they execute properly there is a ton of damage to go around. This is another fight that mastery and spirit are in my opinion the best choices for your primary stats. Mastery will help throughout the fight as there are several raid wide damage mechanics that dish out a ton of damage, and spirit because it's a long fight that will have you casting quite frequently making longevity incredibly important. Because Feng is a bit of a long fight, it makes it one where Mana Tide Totem will be welcomed by all healers. If you time it at the end of the first phase, you should have it up again just in time for the third phase, and by then you will likely be needing that extra mana for every one.
In phase one, the Epicenter ability will deal massive amounts of damage to the entire raid when it goes off. The good news is that most raid strats will call for your raid to group up if one of these goes off, making it rime time for an unglyphed Chain Heal and Healing Rain. It's also great to keep your SLT handy just in case you need to throw it down for an epicenter. The good news is that if you have to use your SLT, it will be up again by the time phase 3 rolls around. In phase two, Feng likes to party with fire. He will randomly target a member in the raid and put Wildfire Spark on them, giving them a debuff that when it ticks to zero, drops a bit of fire wherever that player was standing. If you happen to be the lucky recipient of this, instant cast Ghost Wolf will be your best friend. Draw Flame, just like epicenter, will let you take full advantage of your AoE healing and mastery. Phase two is also an awesome time to break out the Glyph of Healing Stream Totem. While it only give the damage reduction to one target, it's still handy.
Phase three is by far my favorite, and the Arcane Velocity he uses is just a metric ton of damage. This phase is the time I suggest activating super shaman healing mode, or combining three of our cooldowns for some massive healing. First, taking our top tier talent choice and using it for Primal Elementalist. Not only are your elementals bigger and meaner, they also get an ability that buffs your healing done by a percentage for as long as they are alive. Extra healing power is always welcome in a high damage phase. Second is to activate Ascendance, which turns us into an elemental lord and lets us replicate and distribute any heal we cast throughout the raid. Spreading that healing love during a velocity is a very good thing. Thirdly is to use Healing Tide Totem. While it only heals the 5 most injured targets, if ascendance is active it still redistributes the healing done copied throughout the entire raid. Combine that with mastery and the buff from your elemental and for the duration of the cooldowns you become a mad god of healing. It works, and it's a great way to anger any paladin healer with you in the phase. Try it out if you haven't already, it is really awesome.
Totem Talk: Restoration lends you advice on healing groups, DK tanks and heroics and mana concerns in today's endgame -- or take a break and look back at the rise of the resto shaman. Happy healing, and may your mana be plentiful!

Cache 'n' carry: What's the best config for your SSD?
Re: Make your Own
I had to purchase a 15" MacBook Pro before the latest refresh that included retina displays, my old one died. Initially I was upset, yet lucky me the new MacBooks are not easily modified. I replaced the 750GB 5400rpm drive with a 7200rpm drive. I removed the DVD drive and replaced it with a 512GB SSD. I used the diskutil core storage commands to bind them into a volume and the machine is really fast. Someone mentioned a 12-15 second boot time and I regularly get 12-13 second boot up form a cold start. ~8 seconds of that is hardware check. I fly a lot and not only is the machine faster, but the battery life is extended because I'm not spinning a drive all the time. Would like to have the ability to pin a file on the SSD.

Controversy over Florida "voter purge"
WASHINGTON - Florida has 11.3 million registered voters but 2700 of them are now on a list of potential non-citizens that was put together by the state as they try to guarantee that everyone on Florida's voter rolls is legal.
About 58 percent of the people on the list are Hispanics but not everyone is a minority and some worry that Floridians who are lawfully on voter rolls could be removed like a World War II vet who is on the list.
"I voted in Brooklyn when I lived in Brooklyn," a 91-year-old veteran who was targeted as a potential non-citizen. "I really don't understand it. To me it's like an insult."
A spokesperson for the Florida Secretary of State is defending this plan that cross references DMV and voting records explaining that: "If we receive credible and reliable information we must act on it...race or party never factor into the process. Our focus is on identifying and removing ineligible voters from the rolls because that's our job."
But the Justice Department thinks this might violate the Voting Rights Act, which is supposed to protect minorities and warned Florida with a letter that says: "Specifically, please advise whether the state intends to cease the practice discussed above, so that the department can determine what further action, if any, is necessary."
Mitt Romney leads Pres. Obama by one-half of one percent in Florida right now. And these 2700, or so, potentially ineligible voters could be critical. That's because back in 2000, George W. Bush won Florida - by 537 votes.

Allow approximately 1/2 pound of raw meat per person. Rub lightly with salt and pepper. Place in pan and 'tent' with foil until last 20-30 minutes of roasting time. This will allow the breast to brown. Roast at 375 degrees until meat thermometer registers 155 to 160 degrees. This works out to approximately 25 minutes per pound. Allow turkey breast to stand 20 minutes after removing from the oven before slicing. This will seal in the juices.
Allow approximately 1/2 pound of raw meat per person. The boneless breasts, boneless roasts and semi boneless turkeys are rolled and netted. Leave the net on while roasting. Follow same roasting suggestions as above. The roasting time will increase to 35-45 minutes per pound at 350 degrees. Again, the internal temperature should be 155-160 degrees. Allow the breast/roast to stand 20 minutes before you remove the netting and then slice.
We recommend using a meat thermometer when roasting. Place meat thermometer in the meatiest part of the breast making sure to stay away from the bone. If roasting boneless breast, boneless roast or semi boneless turkey, place thermometer in the center of the meat.
Baste meat after you remove from oven as turkey breast is cooling. This will also help seal in the natural juices.
As an alternative to pan roasting, cooking bags work nicely with all turkey parts.

Not All Girls Dream of their Wedding Day
When I catch people who call themselves 'wedding experts' on TV being interviewed and presenting items that a future bride would want on her big day: white, poufy princess-like gown, multi-tiered and flavored cakes, colorful flower arrangements, and all that pageantry, it does grab my attention. A wedding takes a lot of planning and most importantly, money and I'm amazed at the lengths people would go through just so they could look great on their wedding photos.
But nothing says turn-off than when the wedding experts make this sweeping statement: 'All girls dream of their wedding day'.
That's when I kill the TV because this stranger basically generalized all girls as Bridezillas in the making. When in fact, I was a little girl but I never dreamed of my wedding day.
When I was a little girl, marriage was far from my mind, so it follows that I didn't imagine my wedding day. I attended weddings; was even a flower girl once but at the time, I was more worried on how to walk daintily on the carpeted aisle and to throw the flower petals on the floor with grace. I saw wedding pictures of family and relatives, even sat through their old-school reception videos which usually had Atlantic Starr's 'Always' playing in the background. Still, I didn't dream of my wedding day.
See, I was busy being a kid who would rather don a Batgirl costume on my 7th birthday even when the toppers on my cake were Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.
I was building forts out of clean sheets and thinking it was a castle and my home, my first real estate however imaginary and can be disassembled in a jiffy upon discovery of my mother who just did the laundry.
I was playing outside with my mates as superheroes saving the day because the kids who were tapped to play villains decided they wanted evil to win over good. What kind of superheroes would we be if we let anarchy win?
I wrote on used cigarette foil packs and old receipts with my made-up name, home address, and signature, as if I was entering multiple raffles. I waited for my name to get picked and I was always the winner!
I was far too engrossed in the 'real' love triangle of Hulk Hogan, Randy 'Macho Man' Savage (RIP), and Elizabeth, and rooted for Jake the Snake to win so he could unleash the snake inside his sack on his opponent before I realized how symbolically sleazy that was.
I learned to ride a bike first with the training wheels on and then, got a bigger bike, crashed a lot, got hurt plenty, but dusted myself up and rode that bike again round the block showing off my biking skills.
I was in and out of the library borrowing fairy tales with princesses who had a happy ending with Prince Charming with either a kiss or a wedding. I watched all the Disney Princesses and sang their songs by heart and yet, I still didn't dream of my wedding day.
And guess what, that little girl grew up and I have yet to dream of my wedding day. Maybe someday, maybe never and that's okay. What's not is 'wedding experts' going on TV and giving a stupid generalization that all girls dream of their wedding day. Lady/Dude, you don't know all little girls. You might be surprised how much they dream and how varied, weird, and awesome those dreams could be. A wedding day may be one of them but not just the one and only true dream. Puh-leeze. Don't box little girls' minds in.

USEPA: Get the LEAD out of Ringwood!
The United States Environmental Protection Agency is coming up to Ringwood, New Jersey on Monday, February 11, 2013 to ask the public how the 500-acre Ringwood Superfund Site should be cleaned up. Here, Ford Motor Company dumped tens of thousands of tons of paint sludge into old abandoned mine shafts, leaching landfills, the lawns of the Ramapough Mountain Indians, and the very trails of Ringwood State Park five decades ago.
All options are on the table – from doing absolutely nothing to controversially capping the sludge in place and leaving it there forever to completely removing all of the toxic waste. The people in Upper Ringwood are still suffering from devastating health impacts, staggering rates of premature deaths, rare cancers, and autoimmune diseases believed to be linked to the witches' brew of toxins left in their homes, yards and community.
Astronomically high levels of lead and dioxin have been found in attics and yards, while the neighboring mines – including those in Ringwood State Park – sit just upstream from the drinking water source for one to two million people.
Please tell USEPA that this community should no longer suffer from the toxic legacy Ford Motors dumped in their backyards. Don't let Ford Motor Company get away with capping the site and leaving tens of thousands of tons of paint sludge behind! Tell USEPA that they must require Ford to dig up everything they dumped! Tell USEPA to GET THE LEAD OUT!
Take action now – the families of Ringwood, and anyone who believes a State Park should be safe to enjoy, are counting on you!
For more information, visit www.RingwoodSuperfund.org.
Additionally, I urgently request that when you come to the Ringwood community on Monday, February 11, 2013, that the following be followed:
1. USEPA shows up with a plan in writing with a timeline for releasing the proposed cleanup plan. We have waited over a year for the plan as political delays from Washington are under no circumstances acceptable to this community. We expect USEPA to release the Proposed Plan this month, and anything later than that is not acceptable.
2. The media, both newspaper and television, is allowed to attend this meeting. This meeting should be open to the public as well as the media, and we will not accept anything less. There is no reason to hide the discussions that will occur during this meeting.
3. USEPA must stop listening to Ford Motor Company's lobbyists in Washington, and must ONLY listen to the people who live on the toxic waste and have been suffering and dying for generations. This community and the Ramapough Mountain Indian Tribe has suffered staggering rates of premature deaths, rare cancers, and autoimmune diseases believed the be linked to the toxic waste dumped here.
These hard-working families suffered in agony for decades, and USEPA finally has the chance to finally make things right. Please protect the human health and environment for the Upper Ringwood community and the one to two million people that depend on this area for as a drinking water source. Restore this community back to a safe place where parents can raise their children without fear of toxic chemicals impacting their health, and where families can walk trails at a State park without worrying about what toxic contaminants are underfoot or underground.
Thank you in advance for your consideration regarding this urgent human health issue.

- How to Read a Study Record
The objective of this trial is to examine the long-term effects of a diet low in carbohydrates, as compared to one low in fat, on cardiovascular disease risk factors, including blood pressure (BP), body weight and composition, serum lipids, plasma glucose, insulin, adipocytokines (adiponectin, leptin, resistin), and C-reactive protein (CRP) among obese adults.
The investigators will test the following hypotheses:
Hypothesis 1: Compared to a low fat diet, a diet low in carbohydrates will reduce systolic and diastolic BP over 12 months; Hypothesis 2: Compared to a low fat diet, a diet low in carbohydrates will reduce body weight, total percent body fat, and waist circumference over 12 months; Hypothesis 3: Compared to a low fat diet, a diet low in carbohydrates will reduce serum levels of LDL-cholesterol and triglycerides and increase serum levels of HDL-cholesterol over 12 months; Hypothesis 4: Compared to a low fat diet, a diet low in carbohydrates will reduce plasma levels of glucose and insulin levels over 12 months; and Hypothesis 5: Compared to a low fat diet, a diet low in carbohydrates will reduce plasma levels of leptin, resistin, and CRP and increase plasma levels of adiponectin over 12 months.

Detailed Description:
Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) remain the leading cause of death globally as well as here in the United States. Manipulations of the macronutrient (protein, carbohydrate and fat) contents of diet have been used extensively for weight loss and weight control in the past several decades. Low carbohydrate diets, in particular, have gained popularity for weight loss. However, few studies have examined the effects of a diet low in carbohydrates on traditional and novel cardiovascular risk factors in the long term, particularly in contrast to the current dietary recommendations for decreased fat intake to reduce risk of CVD. In this proposal, we plan to conduct a 12-month, parallel-arm, randomized controlled trial of a diet low in carbohydrates versus the currently recommended low fat diet to reduce CVD risk factors among obese adults. The objective of this trial is to examine the long-term effects of a diet low in carbohydrates, as compared to one low in fat, on CVD risk factors, including blood pressure (BP), body weight and composition, serum lipids, plasma glucose, insulin, adipocytokines (adiponectin, leptin, resistin), and C-reactive protein (CRP) among obese adults. In order to accomplish these objectives we will randomize 130 eligible participants (n=65 in each group) to consume either a diet low in carbohydrates (≤40 g/d) or a diet low in fat (<7% saturated fat, <35% total fat). Neither of the diets will be energy-restricted. Participants will meet with a dietitian for one-on-one counseling sessions weekly for the first 4 weeks, then bi-monthly in small group sessions for the next 5 months, and monthly in larger group sessions for the final 6 months of the intervention. Data on both traditional and novel CVD risk factors will be collected at baseline, 3, 6, and 12 months. We hypothesize that a diet low in carbohydrates as compared to a diet low in fat will lower systolic and diastolic BP, body weight, total percent body fat, waist circumference, serum levels of triglycerides, and plasma levels of insulin, glucose, leptin, resistin, and CRP, and increase serum levels of HDL-cholesterol and adiponectin. Because CVD is the most common cause of death here in the U.S. and world-wide, this study has important public health implications. It will provide new information on the potential long-term effects of diets low in carbohydrates on both the traditional risk factors for CVD as well as novel risk factors and inflammatory factors. The results from this study will help to determine if a diet low in carbohydrates as compared to the currently recommended low fat diet can decrease the risk of CVD among obese adults.

DETROIT, Nov. 16 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- After more than 10 years of research and development, the Barbara Ann Karmanos Cancer Institute announced its launch of a new company to build and market a breast cancer screening device invented at Karmanos. The innovative technology developed as C.U.R.E. (Computerized Ultrasound Risk Evaluation), now referred to as SoftVue, will be marketed under the new spin-off company called Delphinus Medical Technologies, LLC. The company has already secured sale commitments for the SoftVue system from several health institutions nationally and internationally.
(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20071106/KARMANOSLOGO)
More than 300 women were involved in the initial clinical studies, which confirmed that SoftVue accurately and safely identifies breast cancer. SoftVue uses multi-parametric ultrasound and sophisticated computer algorithms rather than X-rays. The SoftVue exam takes about one minute, does not involve radiation or compression as the current mammography, and is a fraction of the cost of MRI (magnetic resonance imaging). It's believed that it will help reduce the number of false positives that can occur with mammography and thereby reduce unnecessary biopsies.
"I'm proud to work with a dedicated team of physicians, scientific researchers and other medical experts who are committed to having a world free of cancer," said Ann G. Schwartz, Ph.D., MPH, interim president and chief executive officer, Karmanos Cancer Institute. "Neb Duric, Ph.D., and Peter J. Littrup, M.D., as well as their entire research team, never lost sight of the significance of achieving their goal. They continue to work tirelessly so this incredible imaging technology can go beyond the trial stage to benefit more people and help save lives."

Border Patrol's expansion sparks friction
Posted By admin On December 13, 2008 @ 3:32 pm In Old Infowars Posts Style,Police State | Comments Disabled
Associated Press
The note from U.S. Attorney Jeff Sullivan to the U.S. Border Patrol was short and to the point: Stop sending petty marijuana cases to his office.
"It is our long-standing policy to use limited federal resources to pursue the sophisticated criminal organizations who smuggle millions of dollars of drugs, guns and other contraband across our borders," Sullivan wrote in November.
Sullivan's note is one in a string of flare-ups as the Border Patrol expanded its influence and manpower here in recent months. The marijuana busts had come from inland road blocks on state highways.
Sheriff's offices, farmers, and a U.S. Congressman have all made their opinion about the patrol's increased presence known, and not all of it has been friendly.
The clashes cast light on the expanded power of the agency along the country's northern border.
More than 1,100 agents have been added to the Canadian since Sept. 11, 2001, four times its presence before the terrorist attacks. Hundreds more agents are to be hired next year.

Ready to Serve on Thanksgiving
Published November 25th, 2010

While many families across North Central Florida enjoyed thanksgiving off from the stress and worries of work, one family remained on call. Gainesville firefighters and paramedics came together for a feast. A veteran firefighter said that time spent together and teamwork is what make the firefighters and paramedics family.
"We spend a third of our life here. If you think about it, we probably spend more time with the folks that we work with in the station than your spouse," said firefighter Pat West.

Won't you please be Philly Beer Week's friend?
In an apparent marketing effort to get people to once again proclaim their love and friendship for Philly Beer Week, they're asking you to re-friend them again or become fans or whatever the terminology is on Facebook. Seems to have been a little glitch that makes this all necessary. I think I recall something similar happening with BeerAdvocate friends earlier this summer as well. Ah, this new fangled technology. Maybe we should all go back to make real, not virtual, connections again. Enough of my blathering, go do it. Be friends with Philly Beer Week; share the love. I'm sure you'll be glad you did.

Then they add a fully-painted steel cage reinforced fiberglass body. Roadtrek says that the long wheelbase allows for "amazing ride quality and handling ... Inside there's more of everything: more headroom (74"), more interior space, more room in the permanently enclosed bathroom, more storage space, more sleeping area, a larger refrigerator (raised in the 210-Popular for easier access!), a large convection/microwave oven (microwave only in 210-Versatile) and an optional builtin coffee maker. The exterior features four hidden drawers for easy access to auxiliary batteries, external connections and storage."
We show pictures of the beautiful interior below:
The picture above shows the 210-Popular's galley with a large window and a long and deep
solid-surface counter. A convection/microwave oven and 5 cu.ft. refrigerator are located after the galley to create more space for a handy pull-out table, four deep drawers and a huge cupboard below the counter. The twin beds are wide (30") and the king bed that you can see in the picture below is 6'8" wide.
You can see the arrangement of the 210 Popular and Versatile models on the floorplans below. We think they are - as Roadtrek has become famous for - clever arrangements and use of the space.
Roadtrek explains the floorplans as follows:
The 210-Popular has sleeping comfort for just two (or three) people with seating for up to five. With forward facing seating for three and sleeping for one at the front, the rear features a dinette or optional power sofa with seating for two that converts to a luxurious king-size bed or convenient twins.
The 210-Versatile has 2 captain's seats and two forward facing lounge seats that provide comfortable, belted seating for four up front. Simply swivel the captain's seats and with the cloverleaf dining table you have the best seats in the house for whatever is on the menu - dinner, conversation or games.
The power sofa at the back does triple duty. It makes a great place to watch amovie with the home theatre system and optional flat screen TV, provides beltedseating for another two (U.S. only) and makes into an 80" x 60" queen-size bed. It's perfect for those who want a larger bed than the 190-Versatile but don't want to lose seating for four at the front.

My random thought. B&W works well for most things, but not gas stations.:whistling:
Printable View
My random thought. B&W works well for most things, but not gas stations.:whistling:
À propos of Evans, here is the gas station picture of his I had in mind:
Even the casual eye would be remiss not to see some similar formal construction between Ruscha and Evans. That's the thing with "banality" : you can never REALLY be banal, there will always be something, whether it's composition or historical record, or something else, that will grab you.
Ruscha must have been informed by this:
Attachment 52485
I have no objection to the banal as 'art'. What I'm upset with is the corollary notion that the beautiful isn't art. And then there's the issue of what works in a book vs what works on the wall. I'm just gonna take a nap! ;-)
Who ever said the beautiful isn't art? I hope that wasn't interpreted as being implied in my posts to this thread.
I don't think it was said, but jovo assumed it as a corollary.
I love the low-tech aspect of it. And the fact that with "low" technology he's referring to "high" technology, the petroleum-based economy, car culture, etc.
Just saw an original copy in the MOMA a few weeks ago. Believe me, picture quality is low...which goes to show, DPI don't mean nothing.
Go Ed!

Lisa Hannigan Gets the Colbert Bump
It used to be that musical appearances on the Colbert Report were a rare occurance, but lately it's becoming a trend — one that we would never dream of giving a "wag of our finger" to. In the past few months, Stephen Colbert has welcomed Wilco, Paul McCartney, TV on the Radio, Kris Kristofferson, and David Byrne.
Last night, it was the lovely Lisa Hannigan who got "the Colbert bump." Some may remember her from her time playing with folk-rocker Damien Rice — Hannigan toured with Rice and appeared on his critically acclaimed albums O and 9. Together, the duo were a sort precursor to the Swell Season.
Now the Irish singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist has set out on her own, releasing the album Sea Sew, which the New York Times has called "exquisitely ethereal."
Check out her performance of the song "I Don't Know" below.


text: Today The M Machine released the second part of their album "Metropolis." These guys really have their own sound and style. Whether you want a track to rage to, or one to just chill to, this album has it all. The album contains 6 tracks, and each one is a banger. If you don't already, I highly recommend you start listening to The M Machine. Press play and enjoy their sounds. Metropolis Pt. ll is out now on OWSLA.

Site for Sore Eyes: Hyperbole and a Half
Sometimes you really need a good laugh. Such has been the case for me this week, so I've been spending way too much time trying to forget real world responsibilities while laughing like a maniac as I read through the archives of the hilariously written and illustrated Hyperbole and a Half (sadly the site hasn't been updated for a year, but it's still worth reading through all the old posts). Maybe you already know of this little online gem, but it's new to me (thank you sister for bringing me up to speed) and I just can't get enough. The Party and Wolves…and just about every other post for that matter, had me literally weeping with laughter). I hope you'll find it amusing too. If you're already a fan, which post is your favorite? There are so many good ones to choose from, right?! xo Ez
P.S. There are a few swears on Hyperbole and a Half. Not recommended for the youngins.

Recap: Alain Vigneault on ESPN Radio
Alain Vigneault joined Don La Greca and Alan Hahn on The Michael Kay Show:
- Does anything change from regular season to playoffs, "we aren't going to change how we have played. In my estimation it's been very successful since the beginning of December and allowed us to make a push here and to get into the playoffs which is not easy to do. Our style will not change but obviously what will change is preparing for one opponent. We need to win four games to move on. The Flyers have a great group of forwards, a good combo of skill, size and grit and a good group of D who move the puck well. We have a good challenge in front of us and our guys have prepared well for the past few days and we are looking forward to the opportunity to compete."
- Can you dictate it so that the series doesn't turn to the Flyers style, "Obviously in games and series there is momentum and momentum shifts. If we hope to win this series we are going to hope to have more momentum and to play our type of game. Our type of game is smart two-way hockey and defend real well. When we get the puck we counter real well and go north/south and attacks the other teams defense and goaltender. That has permitted us to have a good ratio of goals for and goals against in the second half of the season. We know what the Flyers want to do but at the end of the day we need to put our best game on and that is what we will trying to do."
- On extra forwards and who will play, "I have but it's not something I like to share with our fans and media and the opponent. It is something that we keep real close to our vest. At the end of the day I am not sure it makes much of a difference but the opposition, if they are not quite sure of our lineup is trying to prepare, they may have more to do and we will keep it close to the vest but I have made up my mind with who will play and who won't play tomorrow."
- On Marty St. Louis, "without a doubt there is an experienced guy who has been through the battles and knows what needs to happen. I know Marty hasn't been on the scoresheet as much as he expected and we expected and our fans expected but at the end of the day he did contribute and it allowed us to have a real strong half with him there, I think we were 11-4-2 with him there so at the end of the day you need stats but you need wins and he permitted us to win a lot of games."
- When did you start figuring out what you had, "somewhere between game 20 and 30, that gives you a decent amount of time and games to sort out the potential of your players, their skill set and the upside you need to work with them to allow them to be the best players that they can be. It took a couple of months and I would say that is normal for anyone coming into a new situation. From there we tweaked a couple of things that I thought would allow us to be better and perform better and we did in the second half."
- On the Flyers goalie change, "Not at all, both goalies are real solid and strong years when they were counted on. Emery has playoff experience, a couple of years ago he brought Ottawa to the Stanley Cup final. The only way to get into the playoffs is with good goaltending and we prepared for both goalies and we have a plan for him."
- Is there a timetable on Chris Kreider, "no, not at this time, he is still indefinite. He started to skate, is working out and hopefully at sometime we will have more information for everybody."
- On Marc Staal, "I haven't had that exact discussion or question but since day one that I have had him there has been an enormous progression in his play. He is one of the best defenders that I have been associated with, he has great position, and I believe that since day 1 his puck movement and puck decision on when to jump up has greatly improved. I'm not really sure how he was a couple of years ago before the injuries but I can say that he has progressed."
- On home ice, "I think like I mentioned prior, if you have it you think it's a good thing and if you don't it's not a big deal. For us, to play in front of our fans, we will feed off of it. We are very comfortable on the road or at home. It's gonna be a tough series, we need to take it one at a time and that is what we will do."
- How is MSG like, "it's a fantastic place. The fans are right there from puck drop to the final instance. They are pushing for you and to have fans who are knowledgeable and understand the game and passionate about it, it helps you and moving forward our players are really looking forward to the game tomorrow."

ANNAPOLIS, Md., Sept. 26 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- PharmAthene, Inc. (Amex: PIP), a biodefense company developing medical countermeasures against biological and chemical threats, announced today that the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), has awarded the Company a multi-year contract for up to $83.9 million for advanced development of a third generation recombinant protective antigen (rPA) anthrax vaccine.
The objective of the government's third generation program is to develop an rPA anthrax vaccine which can be stored, transported and used without the need for a conventional cold chain - an important advantage for civilian biodefense deployment within the Strategic National Stockpile. In particular, the vaccine must maintain stability for three years at 35 C and induce protective immunity in just one or two doses.
Under the contract, PharmAthene will receive initial funding of approximately $13.2 million during a "base period" of performance. During this time the Company will be responsible for preclinical activities, including, development and qualification of assays, stability testing, toxicology studies and development of non-clinical animal models. During the base period NIAID retains the option of extending the contract under two separate options with a combined value of up to $9.7 million. Additional options covering advanced manufacturing and clinical development could bring the total potential value of the contract up to approximately $83.9 million, provided that certain milestones are achieved and that all contract options and extensions are exercised by the government.
"We are pleased that NIAID has awarded such a significant contr

By Maggie Vespa. CREATED Oct 2, 2013
TUCSON (KGUN9-TV) - Busted windows, ransacked homes and a beaten family dog are all signs of a west-side burglary ring that, police say, must be stopped.
The bars had only been off his window for a few days.
"They had actually broken the glass," said Matthew Aquino.
When his roommate came home early Sunday afternoon, he found a shattered back window and a shaken dog.
"There was a rock inside," said Aquino.
"They hit her with a rock?" asked 9OYS reporter Maggie Vespa.
"Yeah," he responded.
"He went to a bedroom and it was just completely flipped upside down," said Aquino. "All our papers were out all our personal belongings were gone."
That including TV's, cell phones, laptops, even liquor from their freezer.
What's more, says Aquino-- the house had only been empty for two hours, meaning someone was watching.
"They just stuck their hand through and opened the lock," said Amy Grey.
Grey is Aquino's neighbor.
She says a burglar broke into her house. Again they entered through a back window, in broad daylight, amid a tight timeframe.
"Somewhere between 9:30 and 11:30," she said. "Yeah, I could have easily run into them because I come home at lunchtime. What do you do?"
That's a question asked across the area.
In the last month neighbors say seven homes have fallen victim to these brazen burglaries.
All of them were daytime jobs.
"A majority of our burglaries in Tucson happen during the day," said Sergeant Chris Widmer.
Tucson police say too many have a false sense of security during the day, thinking locked doors and windows are enough.
"What we would ask of the community is to watch over your neighbors homes, have your neighbors watch over your homes, get to know your neighbors," he said.
It's a point that hits home for Aquino, Grey and their neighbors as they wonder, who's next?
Aquino did provide tpd with one important detail. He reported spotting a suspicious car in the area.
It was a maroon, Pontiac Grand Am with dark windows and chrome rims.
License plate ARN7775.
Anyone with information is asked to dial 9-1-1 or 88-CRIME.
