RILEY COUNTY, Kan. (WIBW) -- Riley County police say a Wakefield man had a seizure behind the wheel Thursday, forcing him to lose control of his truck and veer off the road.
The accident happened at 11:10 AM on September 27, 2012 in the 4000 block of McDowell Creek Road.
Officials say Max Garcia, 52, suffered a seizure as he was driving and his 2006 Chevy truck went off the right side of the road and collided with a walnut tree.
Garcia was transported to Mercy Regional Health Center in Manhattan for treatment of a minor head injury and his medical condition.

I was feeling pretty good this morning, though a little stiff and sore but I am wondering if there is any connection to the fact that I didn't foam roll my calves yesterday. I've been foam rolling them since last Thursday, but for some reason I didn't yesterday. The run went pretty good, but I think I should have stopped at 6 miles rather than 7, things didn't start to ache just a little after mile 6 and now my right ankle is definitely feeling sore so I am wearing the brace on it. I took my Tissue Rejuvenator capsules, a serving of my BCAA tablets and 3 Ibuprofens - hoping it will help and things will be feeling better by this afternoon or evening. I also iced my ankle laying in bed afterwards, also it really started to ache after I had to stop in some woods and use the bathroom (squatting).
Ugh, this is so freaking frustrating! I have goals dang it, I have dreams and I can't even play with them in my head with this looming over me!
Anyways, to cut it short Rocky and I ran 7 miles in 1:15:01 with an average pace of 10:43 min/mile, elevation gain of 163 feet and a loss of 163 feet.
Laps/splits are:
Mile 1 - 11:10
Mile 2 - 10:57
Mile 3 - 10:51
Mile 4 - 10:47
Mile 5 - 10:51
Mile 6 - 10:16
Mile 7 - 10:08
I was planning to run/hike the Audubon trails tomorrow afternoon but I guess it will all depend on how I am feeling tomorrow morning and by the afternoon.

Sounds like a tough workout.
I'd be cautious about taking ibuprofen unless you really need it for a good reason, say to sleep. Minor soreness may be a normal part of the healing process, which you do not want to cut short. Not to mention possible side effects on the liver etc.
Best wishes to you.
Rock on and keep on running.....
Why can't the body just get better when the mind tells it too? Take a slow easy walk instead of a run, That may help to keep things somewhat loose. (could help?)
Ibuprofen? I am kind of fond of Brandy Old-Fashioneds for what ails you. After 3 or 4, you don't care if it hurts.
"I may not be handsome, but I am loved."
Sorry you are still not feeling better. Very frustrating!
Truly frustrating. Keep up the patience.

Kohjinsha preps tablet netbook with dual cams, Win 7
updated 02:50 pm EDT, Mon June 22, 2009
Kohjinsha SK3 Tablet Soon
Kohjinsha is about to launch a significant overhaul of its convertible tablet netbook that will bring it to the forefront in terms of features, a leak shows. The SK3 will have 802.11n Wi-Fi and, to draw on the better wireless, both outward- and inward-facing cameras for video chats or photography. It's also one of the first tablet netbooks to support Windows 7; what this involves isn't known by UMPC Portal, but it may involve either tighter integration with the touch elements of the Microsoft OS or else a more finger-ready screen.
The resulting system would still be one of the smaller PCs of its type with a 7-inch swiveling LCD, a 1.33GHz Atom processor and 1GB of RAM. Its predecessor the SC3 has a 60GB hard drive, but it's uncertain if this will be upgraded with a larger rotating disk or replaced entirely in favor of an SSD. A formal announcement is expected sometime this week and will officially limit sales to Japan, although importers like Dynamism may bring the SK3 to the US.

Develop Office Client Applications using Visual Studio
Deploying or installing the Office primary interop assemblies (PIAs) can sometimes be problematic. There are several common errors that occur when you try to deploy or install the PIAs.
Deployment pitfalls
A. Can I deploy the PIA DLL with my setup project? Yes, you can include the PIA DLL in your setup project, but we recommend that you use the Primary Interop Assemblies for the 2007 Microsoft Office system redistributable file from the Microsoft Download Center. this way, the installer copies the PIAs into the GAC, and also installs binding redirects. The binding redirects ensure that the latest version of the PIAs on the computer are always loaded. This is how a solution developed for Microsoft Office 2003 still works on the 2007 Microsoft Office system.
Installation pitfalls
A. Do you have administrator privileges? The account used to install the PIAs must have administrator privileges.
B. Is the .NET Framework already installed? The computer must have a version of the .NET Framework installed (version 1.1, 2.0, 3.0, or 3.5) before the PIA installer is run. Windows XP does not include any version of the .NET Framework unless .NET 1.1 was downloaded from Windows Update. Windows Vista does include a version of the .NET Framework. When Microsoft Office is first installed, the .NET Framework installation is detected and the PIAs are automatically installed.
C. Is Business Contact Manager installed? If Outlook 2007 with Business Contact Manager is already installed on the computer, you may see the following error message when you install the Primary Interop Assemblies for the 2007 Microsoft Office system from the Microsoft Download Center:
Error 1316: Setup cannot read from file {PATH}\PIARedist.MSI. Check your connection to the network, or CD-ROM drive. For other potential solutions, see SETUP.CHM.
Error 1316: Setup cannot read from file {PATH}\PIARedist.MSI. Check your connection to the network, or CD-ROM drive. For other potential solutions, see SETUP.CHM.
Business Contact Manager for Outlook 2007 installs the PIAs by default, and the file name is PIARedist.MSI. However, the file from the Microsoft Download Center is called o2007pia.msi. When you install the PIAs from the Microsoft Download Center, this name conflict causes the 1316 error.
The easiest thing to do here is to just ignore the error, because this message means that the PIAs are already installed. If you want to correct the error, uninstall the PIAs through the list of installed programs for the specific computer. Then you can reinstall the PIAs with the Primary Interop Assemblies for the 2007 Microsoft Office system from the Microsoft Download Center.
I don't recommend that you follow the workaround posted at Error 1316 when installing Office 2007 PIA's, which changes the name of the o2007pia.msi file to piaredist.msi and updates the product.xml to point to piaredist.msi. If you change the name of the o2007pia.msi, anyone that installs the PIAs after you will experience the 1316 error.
If you discover other PIA pitfalls, please feel free to leave a comment or question so I can update this entry. Thanks for reading!

When you use ClickOnce in Visual Studio 2008 to deploy your Office solution, you can include prerequisites
How can I use Office 2007 (Daily use, not for programming), but program using office 2003 PIA's. Once office 2007 is installed, my computer default all PIA's to 2007, no matter how much I try to uninstall them (hard), or install in new sequences (office 2007 first, then 2003).
hi Anders,
you cannot install multiple versions of Microsoft Office on a development computer - for precisely the reasons that you noticed. from http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb398242.aspx
"Visual Studio Tools for Office does not support installing Microsoft Office 2003 and the 2007 Microsoft Office system (or different versions of the same application, such as Word 2003 and Word 2007) side-by-side on the development computer. To develop solutions for different versions of Microsoft Office, use a different development computer for each version of Microsoft Office."
installing the PIAs also installs binding redirects, which always point to the latest version of the PIAs. this enables Office 2003 add-ins and customizations to work in future versions of Office.
for more background, see the following blog entry from a VSTO architect: http://blogs.msdn.com/andreww/archive/2007/06/08/why-is-vs-development-not-supported-with-multiple-versions-of-office.aspx
I have VS2005 Pro installed. I also have Office 2003. The PIA's show up in the GAC, but not when I try to add a reference in VS. I have .Net Framework 2.0.
I have tried reinstalling both VS and Office in different orders. I have also tried the fixes recommended by MSDN.
I have installed the 2007 PIA and repaired my Office 2007 installation.
Still, when I add a reference to the Office 12 Object Library in VS2005, I only see Office.Core and cannot add an 'imports' statement for Office.Interop
Have checked that Windows\assembly\gac\ has got the interop dlls
The core "Office" PIA (which is what your project references when you add a reference to the "Microsoft Office 12.0 Object Library"; this PIA defines types used in all Office applications) contains only the 'Microsoft.Office.Core" namespace. You can verify this by viewing the contents of this PIA assembly in Object Browser after you reference it in your project.
I am not aware of any "Office.Interop" namespace in any of the Office PIAs, but the PIAs for individual Office applications do have namespaces in the format "Microsoft.Office.Interop.<app name>". For example, if you add a reference to the Microsoft Excel 12.0 Object Library, the namesapce of the types in this PIA is "Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel". Does this help?
Since the product.xml file in the Office2007PIARedist does not contain a Homesite like other Microsoft packages, what is the recommended way to fix or suppress the build warning?
"No 'HomeSite' attribute has been provided for 'Microsoft Office 2007 Primary Interop Assemblies', so the package will be published to the same location as the bootstrapper."
to fix this, you can select Download prerequisites from the same location as my application radio button or uncheck the PIAs from the Prerequisites Dialog Box. you should only do the latter if the PIAs are already installed.
Thank you for the quick response.
I was afraid you were going to say that as unfortunately that isn't practical. I can't imagine a business case to not check the "Download prerequisites from component vendor's web site" and you are correct that we can not assume our clients already have the office PIAs installed.
Has there been any discussion at Microsoft about adding a valid office homesite?
Correct me if I'm wrong, but if "Download prerequisites from component vendor's web site" is checked for the office package, it simply ignores the flag and finds them from the local location.
Is there a way to explicitly specify this behavior so that functionally it is equivalent without actually having that warning?
All of our attempts to suppress that warning in the project are ignored by msbuild. It is entirely possible we are doing something wrong, but the only proposed work around we have come up with which is functionally equivalent would be to build the project in a batch file and return a passing state if just this warning appears - which seems rather extreme to avoid a warning and a really poor build design.
I'm trying to create a setup project using Visual Studio 2008 SP1 that will install the PIAs as a prerequisite.
In the prerequisites screen, Microsoft Office 2007 Primary Interop Assemblies is a checkbox option - but after selecting this and building the project, the PIA installation does not run when running the setup.exe.
Looking in the Office2007PIARedist folder there is only a o2007pia.msi, but this is not being run.
.Net framework is installed on the machine.
Am I missing a step when building my project?
I have a few comments relating to ComponentCheck.exe here: http://blogs.msdn.com/rcook/archive/2009/03/12/issues-with-office-2007-pia-redist-and-componentcheck-exe.aspx
Hi, hope you can help me here. I've a VB.Net program that creates an Excel 2007 file. It works well on my computewr since Office 2007 is installed. I need to deploy the program in our production server wherein there is no MS Office installed. I created a package which includes the InterOp assemblies but I always get the error that the ActiveX component couldn't be created. I tried registering the DLLs using regsvr32 (fails) and regasm (successful but useless) but still got the same error when I run the application. Has anyone deployed a VB.Net program that uses Office 2007 InterOp Assemblies on a server that has no Office installed?
Hello Developers,
I'm trying do develop an Addin, and I'm having some problems with PIA's. This Addin is directed to MS Project 2007 but I wanted to export my Data to MS Excel 2003. After I've tried and broke my head among the references and didn't found a solution.
I'm wondering, since Ms Project 2007 use PIA 12.0 and MS Excel use PIA 11.0 I think Visual Studio 2008 can't have references for both PIA (which is normal).
Do I have to develop the Addin to diferent cases (eg: 1 Addin to Ms Project 2007 with Ms Excel 2007 and another to MS Project 2003 with Ms Excel 2003)?
Is it possible to mix up to Kinds of version (eg: 1 Addin to Ms Project 2007 with Ms Excel 2003 and another to MS Project 2003 with Ms Excel 2007)?
I really appreciate your help,
Best Regards,
Hi. I have developed an application using Office12. However, the target PC's have office 2003 or Office Xp installed. When I install the application and try to run it It errors. I think it is to do with me using Office 2007 reference. Is there a way of getting my application to work without having to change my code to reference the Office XP or Office 2003 COM references?
Hi Luihond -
If you use Visual Studio 2005 or Visual Studio 2008 to target your solution for Office 2007, then you should expect it to error and not run on older versions of Office. In order to target Excel 2003, you would need to create a new project, and then you can probably copy and paste most of your code into the new project. The VSTO tools do not target Office XP.

Nevada guard Mike Perez (23), show driving against Air Force at Lawlor Event Center on Feb. 1. Perez said of the players' willingness to challenge each other, 'We have to. We're a family. We're going to get on each other.'
There have been plenty of moments in this Nevada basketball season when players have looked at each other with furrowed brows and puzzled looks. At times it has led to a short conversation with an elevated tone.
Such near confrontations could deteriorate and become a team cancer. For the Wolf Pack, they seem to have given the players a boost.
You could even make the case that this team wouldn't be where it is - the No. 3 seed in this week's Mountain West Conference Tournament thanks to three key victories in its final four games after a five-game losing streak - had they not had their Jerry Springer ...

Americans have conflicting impulses about government action in the economy. The idea that government "interference" in markets usually is harmful is popular these days. Yet when there is a problem, the idea that "the government ought to do something" still has great resonance.
While some scholars laud anti-activists like Calvin Coolidge for the refusal to step in, most elected officials evidently feel it is better to be perceived as doing something than doing nothing. But the results certainly make economists shake their heads, especially when symbolic actions with no substance get great fanfare.
Take the "My Retirement Account," or MyRA, announced in President Barack Obama's recent State of the Union speech. Warning sign: That it could be implemented without congressional action is an immediate indication there is no real substance involved. So don't expect any substantive results.
The program involves the U.S. Treasury administering "accounts" for individuals who don't have access to many other retirement options such as the 401(k), 403(b), SEP, Keogh, etc.
If they work for voluntarily cooperating employers, MyRA participants will be able to choose to have $5 or more deducted from regular paychecks, up to a maximum of $5,500 per year, and submitted to the "account" administered by the Treasury. These contributions are after-tax, so they don't embody the immediate effective federal subsidy of a 401(k) or other "tax-advantaged" plan. Because of this, "contributions can be withdrawn tax free at any time; earnings generally can be withdrawn tax free after age 59 1/2," according to a Treasury Department fact sheet.
The Treasury will pay these plans some stipulated minimum interest rate. This interest is not taxable in the year it accrues, just as the interest earned on Series EE savings bonds is not taxable. Once the account reaches $15,000 or has been in existence for 30 years, "the balance will be rolled over to a private-sector retirement account."
This is all fine. But it does little beyond what is already available. The Treasury has long offered small savings bonds, first the Series E that began as World War II war bonds and their successor, the current Series EE and Series I bonds.
At some employers, usually larger ones, they can be purchased by payroll deduction. And anyone can easily buy them at any bank. Interest on these bonds is not taxable until the bonds are cashed in. So up to the point of rollover, there is little difference between the new MyRA and plain-vanilla savings bonds.
The tax-free rollover is an innovation, as will be the Roth-like exemption of earnings if held past the age threshold. And the as-yet-unannounced minimum interest rate may be higher than the miserable level currently paid on savings bonds. So there are some benefits not available under the current system. But these will be pretty small potatoes.
Right now, any worker could buy bonds with small amounts of money and then roll the funds into a private Roth account once enough is accumulated to meet the minimums generally required for these. After that point, earnings would be identically tax free.
A good program? Yes, it may turn out to be of some advantage for a small number of people. Low-income people in jobs that don't offer 401(k) plan benefits also generally are less-well-informed about other existing options. So MyRA may solve an "information problem." And the Treasury will take over some of the administrative hassle involved in achieving the same end with existing instruments. Aside from this, the much-touted plan is pretty thin gruel indeed. Don't expect it to dramatically improve the financial situation of many people.
For another example of empty symbolism, consider the letter to the president urging action to alleviate the ongoing "propane crisis," signed by Gov. Mark Dayton and six other members of the Midwestern Governors' Association. It asks that the federal government use "every means of transport" to move propane, that it ease any troublesome regulation and that the Small Business Administration make loans where that would help.
The problem is that the federal government does not own or control any propane transport equipment. Nor are federal regulations really much of a factor in any shortages. And the problem is not lack of available credit to businesses or local government.
The propane crisis is unfortunate, but it does not reflect any failure of markets or of government. Current high prices are a market-driven way of communicating both to suppliers and users that somebody needs to pay for more storage to deal with "perfect storm" situations like this year, with a late crop harvest, unusually cold weather and physical supply problems. There really isn't much that government can or should do.
There is some irony in that five of the seven governors calling for the feds to do something about propane woes are Republicans who decry excess government in the economy. Yes, their plea includes a request to suspend troublesome regulations, but they are not specified nor their importance quantified in any way.
Elected officials see obvious benefits in announcing largely symbolic actions. Tell the nation that you have created a new retirement plan and you are doing something, even if it really is a repackaging of existing programs and options. Send a letter to the president and you show the thousands of people facing real heating problems that you feel their pain.
History demonstrates that officials who take such symbolic acts do better in elections than the more honest ones who say "there really isn't much government can do about this" or "unless Congress acts, I as president am powerless."
But once again, this all is evidence of our own ambiguous attitudes toward government. We are skeptical of what it can do and many think it already does too much. But when we are in a pinch, we want it to act.

A small family restaurant in Woodfin is closed after being damaged by fire. The owners of Nick's Grill say they're lucky because a long-time customer spotted the fire and called for help.
Surveillance video from inside the restaurant shows the kitchen begin to fill up with smoke, then a short time later fire breaks in the fryer. Owner George Tsiros says he's not sure if a worker left it on or if there was a malfunction. After looking at the aftermath, Tsiros says he is thankful that there is only minimal damage and he appreciates the support he's been getting from the community.
As soon as authorities say it is safe, Nick's Grill will make the necessary repairs and reopen as quickly as possible.

Dodgertown Elementary is one of the few reminders of the Dodgers' 61-year spring training history in Vero Beach. / Guy Tubbs/news-press.com
Special page: Spring training, economic data and more
Video: Vero Beach moves on following Dodgers' departure
Photos: Vero Beach Sports Village | Historic Dodgertown
VERO BEACH Outside of the Vero Beach Sports Village, the complex formerly known as Dodgertown, theres few overt reminders of the 61 springs the Boys of Summer spent in the city before relocating to Arizona following the 2008 exhibition season.
As new people move into the community they dont have that nostalgic feeling, said Indian River County Commissioner Peter OBryan, whos lived in Vero Beach for 29 years. Every year that goes by, theres less and less of that out there.
A true affinity existed between the Dodgers and Vero Beach, one that other spring training locales envied. Part of it stemmed from the sheer length of the relationship, a time during which both grew in stature. The Dodgers won all five of their world championships as spring residents of Vero Beach, while the citys population increased more than fivefold from the 3,000 residents present when the team arrived in 1948.
But much of the warmth extended from the Dodgers owners, first Walter OMalley, then his son Peter, and their affection for and commitment to Vero Beach.
No endeavor symbolized that commitment quite like the teams contribution to a troubled elementary school, located in the citys predominantly African-American neighborhood of Gifford.
In 1986, 90 percent of the 310 students at Clemann Elementary came from single-parent homes and more than half qualified for the subsidized lunch program, both the highest in the Indian River County school district.
That same year, the Dodgers accepted a proposal to adopt the school but did much more than write a check. The team designed and funded a facelift for the school, complete with Dodger blue paint, new office furniture, baseball light fixtures and the renaming of classrooms after legendary players like Jackie Robinson and Duke Snider.
Clemann also got a new name Dodgertown Elementary.
Almost overnight, a school parents once resisted their children attending became the envy of its district neighbors.
It was really uplifting, said Carol Gollnick, an administrative assistant to the principal at Dodgertown, who has worked at the school for 40 years. It definitely built morale and gave the children the incentive to try harder.
During spring training, Dodgers like Orel Hershiser, Darryl Strawberry, Steve Sax and manager Tommy Lasorda would visit the school to deliver motivational talks and distribute free tickets and baseball equipment. Their messages resonated far beyond what the students heard daily from their classroom teachers.
The kids would be ecstatic, This is Dodger Day, someone is coming out, said Rodney McGriff, a custodian at Dodgertown Elementary and a Gifford resident. The encouragement it gave to those kids carried them a long way.
That connection abruptly ended after the 2007-08 school year when the Dodgers relocated their spring training operations to Arizona, taking the Dodgertown trademark with them. The school is the only property in Vero Beach with permission to use the name.
We try and keep the baseball theme incorporated in everything we do, said Takeisha Harris, whos in his third year as the schools principal. But their presence and support is definitely missed.
Harris said the schools enrollment has dropped every year since the Dodgers left Vero Beach. In 2011, the Indian River County school superintendent recommended closing Dodgertown Elementary, but the school board rejected the proposal.
We just dont have that draw anymore, that boost, Harris said. I would love to have something like that to pull the parents in.
McGriff said its an impact the school can never hope to replicate.
When you have something as great as the Dodgers and they leave and nothing replaces it, what else do the kids have, he said. Now everything is FCAT and putting so much pressure on them.
When I see those kids who were here when the Dodgers were, theyre grown now, they all say the same thing.
Its just not the same.

Huki means "pull" in Hawaiian.
Our huki events pull the community together
to pull out the invasive algae.
Malama Maunalua is ridding the Bay of invasive algae
one handful at a time.
Our volunteers manually weed the algae, shuttle it to shore and recycle it at local farms.
Between 2007 and 2011, over 3 million pounds of invasive algae were removed from Maunalua Bay.
Many schools joined us, teaching today's kids to be tomorrow's stewards of the Bay.
In 2010-2011, with a $3.4 million grant of stimulus funds from the NOAA, Malama Maunalua teamed up with the Nature Conservancy and Pono Pacific to eliminate 25 acres and over 3 million pounds of Leather Mudweed,
on time and in budget, while creating over 70 jobs.
Malama Maunalua and our partners are monitoring the cleared areas and the Mudweed is not growing back.
We're exploring replanting of native plants
to speed the Bay's recovery.
More acreage remains to be cleared.

It's hard to call some Americans to action if they don't love their countryJuly 8, 2014 12:00 AM
Share with others:
Your editorial about patriotism on July 4 thoughtfully suggested that patriots of all political persuasions should be able to find common ground in their love of country ("Fractious Fourth: Today's Patriots Should Seek Reconciliation").
Unfortunately, in the 21st century, there are Americans who do not love their country or its founding principles. No doubt there are some who are actually offended by overt patriotism.
Sometime before the end of the decade, we may expect them to try to make the New England Patriots change their name.

|Detection of Peptidic Sequences in the Ancient Acidic Sediments of Río Tinto, Spain.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 22139519 Owner: NLM Status: Publisher
|Biomarkers are molecules that are produced by or can be associated with biological activities. They can be used as tracers that give us an idea of the ancient biological communities that produced them, the paleoenvironmental conditions where they lived, or the mechanism involved in their transformation and preservation. As a consequence, the preservation potential of molecules over time depends largely on their nature, but also on the conditions of the environment, which controls the decomposition kinetics. In this context, proteins and nucleic acids, which are biomolecules bearing biological information, are among the most labile molecules. In this research, we report the presence of short-chained peptides obtained from extracts of ferruginous sedimentary deposits that have been produced under the acidic and oxidizing solutions of Río Tinto, Spain. These preliminary results go against the paradigmatic idea that considers the acidic and oxidizing environments inappropriate for the preservation of molecular information.

The Bucks snapped a four game losing-streak Tuesday night at the BMO Harris Bradley Center, beating the Suns 108 to ninety-nine. The win capped off a turbulent two days of announcements regarding the departure offour-year head coach Scott Skiles, as well as the placement of interim head coach Jim Boylan. With the win, the team avoids falling below .500 for the first time this season, as well as maintains a one game advantage over Boston in the conference.
In what was called a calm and unexpected discussion, Bucks general manager John Hammond and Skiles reached a mutual agreement for the two parties to part ways. In the midst of his fifth season at the helm of the team, Skiles could not manage to right the Buck's wavering consistency, leading them through a series of win-streaks and slumps over thirty-two games in 2012. Four consecutive losses to begin this year turned out to be the straw that broke the camel's back, as Hammond made the coach aware of his thoughts at the Cousin's Center after practice on Monday.
Players immediately began commenting about the news on social media following its release, most wishing good luck to Skiles in the future and their thanks for his support and leadership. Star point guard Brandon Jennings had an especially heartfelt farewell message for his only professional coach, thanking Skiles for believing in him as a rookie and helping him become the player he is today.
Other players touched on the Boylan subject, especially his intentions to meet with every one of them personally to discuss their thoughts on the team. Center Larry Sanders said that Boylan's dedication to quality communication was a big boost for his confidence in the interim coach, adding that it will be a welcome improvement to the team's chemistry. Power forward Ersan Ilyasova put it bluntly when he said he felt uneasy playing under Skiles, worrying that any mistakes may cost him minutes. Boylan himself agreed that as an assistant under Skiles, he was often more preoccupied with keeping his job than he was with coaching the team.
Regardless of his fears, Boylan sustained various positions under Skiles for over ten-years at three professional institutions. Moving from head coach at the University of New Hampshire to a video-coordinator position for the Cavilers, Boylan first worked with Skiles as an assistant in Phoenix. The two met again in Chicago, where Boylan had his first mid-season takeover for Skiles, after the later was fired in 2008. As interim head coach there, Boylan finished the season with a twenty-four-and-thirty-two record.
Bucks Still Hope To Make Playoffs In 2013
Hammond is hoping for better than that in 2013, expecting Boylan to keep the Bucks within the top eight playoff spots for the eastern conference. Tuesday's game against the Suns was an optimistic debut for the second-time head coach, though Wednesday's test against fellow central division rivals the Chicago Bulls will be the first true test he faces this year.
As to the future, Hammond revealed that Boylan is a top candidate for the permanent job, though his performance throughout the rest of this season will decide that. Boylan's vacated assistant position is likely to go to scout Chris Gilmartin.

A dog named Bailey romps through a large puddle after a toy Saturday in Fircrest, Wash. / Associated Press
A barely moving, nearly stationary and slowly dying cold front is to blame for Mondays murky weather.
The front, which propelled a brief shower through the Richland County area late Sunday afternoon and is responsible for our mist today, is sitting over northwest Ohio as of this writing. It may make it through our area by this afternoon, but then again it may not survive that long.
Fog associated with the boundary up around Toledo could filter in here later, although given its timing with the heating of the day that seems doubtful.
After largely steady temperatures on Monday because of the low cloud cover, we will return to warmer-than-normal conditions for the remainder of the work week; the air behind this front is largely indistinguishable from that in front of it.
We could see 80 degrees for a high temperature on Wednesday, notable now that our normal highs are only in the 60s. Higher humidity levels will also keep our overnight lows from getting too chilly.
Were still several days from the average date of the first fall frost for most locations around here, although Fredericktowns is today, the earliest in the state. But theres no chance of a frost anywhere around here this week.
Rain, associated with perhaps a significant storm system, comes back into our picture for the weekend, but its too soon to go into details about that. In the wake of that precipitation, however, our temperatures are expected to dive back to seasonal levels.
As youve no doubt noticed, the fall foliage season is beginning in Ohios central highlands. The past couple weeks of mild, sunny days and cool nights have been ideal for the development of good color.
Below are the weather statistics for Sunday, Sept. 29, at my location 4 miles north-northwest of Fredericktown, Ohio:
Conditions Cloudy, shower, mild
High temperature 74; low temperature 45 (last year, 67 and 37)
Precipitation 0.01 inches
High barometer 30.08 inches; low barometer 29.97 inches
Peak wind gust 8 mph, southwest
High dew point 62
Heating degree days 5
Today's normal high and low temperatures (Mansfield) 68 and 47
Today's record high and low temperatures (Mansfield) 85 in 1953, 31 in 1935
Today's sunrise/sunset times 7:26 a.m./7:13 p.m.
Moon phase waning crescent, 19 percent visible

|Improvement in long-term prognosis of elderly patients with acute myocardial infarction after the introduction of intravenous thrombolytic therapy.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 9862099 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|Survival rate from a "thrombolytic" period of 351 patients above 66 years of age with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) was compared with that of 289 patients from a "prethrombolytic" period. The two groups were comparable regarding sex, age, previous AMI, cerebrovascular events, morbidity and mortality during admission. Survival rates after four years were 45.0% in the "thrombolytic" group and 38.4% in the "prethrombolytic" group (p = 0.047, log rank test). Using the Cox proportional hazard analysis, thrombolytic therapy was shown to be an independent prognostic predictor in "the thrombolytic population" with a relative risk of death from day 30 to end of follow-up of 0.4 (95% confidence interval 0.2-0.8). No interaction was found between age and thrombolysis. Although only one-fifth of the patients with AMI were eligible for thrombolysis, this treatment may have contributed to the improved long-term survival.

Art, Copy & Code: Delivering Beauty at scale
Wednesday, June 12, 2013 | 12:00 AM
Earlier this year, we kicked off the Art, Copy & Code project, a series of partnerships with innovative brand marketers and creatives, to explore how modern tools and storytelling techniques are re-imagining advertising. The first project was a Google+ enabled social app for sharing drives, created with Volkswagen, Deutsch LA and Grow. It explores how brands can build relationships with consumers beyond just traditional ad formats. For our next project, we've partnered with Burberry to re-imagine how brands can deliver beautiful, emotional experiences across different devices and screens, while reaching a key audience -- millennial consumers. The goal was to accomplish this through the lens of beauty products, while still delivering a luxury experience in a digital environment.
Today we're unveiling Burberry Kisses; it lets you send a kiss (a digital imprint of your real kiss) with a personal message to a loved one anywhere in the world, from any device. You can read about how the experience works on our Google blog, or watch this video below.
Built using HTML5, the Kisses experience is delivered across display ads, web and mobile. Modern browser technologies, like WebGL, CSS3, 3D transforms and WebP, allowed us to build a rich experience without compromising performance or requiring custom plugins, or apps. These same open web technologies are allowing brands to deliver magical creative experiences at scale, in a true "build once, run everywhere" fashion.
The Kisses experience will be available via a lightbox ad, meaning Burberry can reach millennials on the web at scale via a standard 300x250 display ad footprint, but engage them with the full screen Kisses experience with the ad's expanded state (which opens up after a two-second hover). This the first time we're using HTML5, WebGL, and dynamic creative in a lightbox ad, showing the creative possibilities within a large canvas. The same experience is optimized for smartphones and tablets, and delivered via mobile rich media ads. It will also soon be featured on Burberry's YouTube channel.
A kiss seemed like a natural focus for this project because it is one of the most iconic symbols of human interaction. By creating a personal-yet-shareable experience that appeals to millennials, it builds a connection to the Burberry brand, without feeling like a traditional ad. Burberry will also install this digital experience in its flagship stores so consumers have the same interaction with their brand everywhere, further blurring the line between physical and digital worlds.
To add a personal touch to the interaction, we've used dynamic image processing, based on location, that adds unique details to everyone's experience. For example, as you see your message journey to its destination across a 3D landscape, we added more realism by reflecting dynamic StreetView images into puddles on a city street; local landmarks identify important street names to further bring the experience to life. We're excited about the potential of technologies like this to help unlock of an age of beautiful, emotive digital advertising. This campaign is aimed at showing what that might look like. Today, brands have an amazing opportunity to connect with their audience in ways they will love, remember and share, on any device. We will continue to push the creative boundaries with more such partnerships. Until then, pucker up and send a kiss to someone you love, and share it, like this one I sent to my mom.
Lastly, if you're visiting the Cannes Lions festival next week, please join us for fireside chat on Friday, June 21 at 4:15pm local time, between Christopher Bailey, Chief Creative Officer of Burberry and Lorraine Twohill, Google's VP of Global Marketing.

No idea, but my oldest did this around three. He's slept with his closet light on ever since :P He's 4.5 now. He never said anything about monsters, but he was scared of something. It's funny because now he LOVES the dark and will go around hte house turning off all the lights, closing the curtains, and making "spooooky" noises!!
Good luck!

GAO Questions Wisdom of Public Private Partnerships
Government Accountability Office testimony warns of need to better assess the true cost of privately operated toll roads.
The Government Accountability Office last week questioned the wisdom of using public-private partnerships to build and maintain toll roads. GAO's Director of Physical Infrastructure issues, Jay Etta Z. Hecker, summarized the congressional watchdog agency's work in testimony before a US Senate Finance subcommittee hearing on Thursday that focused on the cost to the public of privately operated toll road leasing arrangements.
Broadly speaking, these arrangements allow private companies to lease existing roads in return for the ability to collect toll revenue for a fixed term that can last up to 99 years. In some cases, these companies will offer local politicians billions of dollars in up-front cash payments for leasing rights. The private company would then be responsible for maintaining the road. In other cases, the private company would build and own entirely new roads, delivering significant new highway capacity to the public in return for significant profit potential.
While acknowledging potential public benefits of private participation in these deals, Hecker said that GAO's extensive study of this funding approach identified a number of fundamental problems.
"There is no 'free' money in public-private partnerships," GAO's report stated. "They are potentially more costly to the public and it is likely that tolls on a privately operated highway will increase to a greater extent than they would on a publicly operated toll road. There is also the risk of tolls being set that exceed the costs of the facility, including a reasonable rate of return, should a private concessionaire gain market power because of the lack of viable travel alternatives."
In 2006, two key highways in Illinois and Indiana were handed to Cintra-Macquarie, a consortium of Spanish and Australian toll road operators. The Chicago Skyway was leased for 99 years in return for a $1.8 billion payment and the Indiana Toll Road for 75 years for $3.8 billion. State officials found the ability to spend these windfalls on current needs, but GAO questioned whether future generations may regret this decision.
"Using a highway public-private partnership to extract value from an existing facility also raises issues about the use of those proceeds and whether future users might potentially pay higher tolls to support current benefits," the report stated. "In some instances, up-front payments have been used for immediate needs, and it remains to be seen whether these uses provide long-term benefits to future generations who will potentially be paying progressively higher toll rates to the private sector throughout the length of a concession agreement."
GAO found that a significant portion of the up-front payment derives from the tax-exempt status of the bonds issued and depreciation deductions that, in effect, shift millions from the federal treasury to the state's coffers. GAO calculated that the annual taxation cost of $1.2 billion in tax-exempt bonds issued for Virginia's Pocahontas Parkway, South Carolina's Southern Connector and Nevada's Las Vegas Monorail was as much as $35 million a year. South Carolina and Virginia also lose up to $3 million a year in state tax revenue.
Beyond the accounting illusion created by the up-front payment, GAO identified a distinct lack of willingness of state governments to perform honest cost-benefit analysis of projects before agreeing to undertake them. For example, no "public interest" study was done before state and local politicians signed off on the Chicago Skyway and Indiana Toll Road deals. GAO reported that Oregon's experience shows that this could be a mistake. That state's department of transportation hired a consultant to assess the added cost involved in a proposed public-private partnership model to build a new highway. The analysis found the costs "were not justifiable given the limited value of risk transfer in the project."
GAO suggested the US Department of Transportation might be to blame for the rush to embrace tolling regardless of the cost to the public.
"Despite the need for careful analysis, the approach at the federal level has not been fully balanced, as DOT has done much to promote the benefits, but comparatively little to either assist states and localities weigh potential costs and trade-offs, nor to assess how potentially important national interests might be protected in highway public-private partnerships," GAO concluded.

Last night Jenn and I were over at Rollerama in Schenectady for Cheap Skate night (half-price skating) and someone tried to make small talk with us.
"So, you both work at the Times Union," he asked me, while Jenn stood nearby talking to his wife.
"Yes," I said, "we both write for features."
"Features," he asked.
"Lifestyles, arts and entertainment, that kind of thing," I said.
"Oh, so is that a career," he asked, "or just a stopover on your way to something else."
I paused for a moment, a little taken aback.
"No, no, this is our career. We both went to school for journalism and have both been in the field for more than 10 years," I said.
"So you're not looking to go onto something bigger," he asked.
"You never know what will happen in the future but, for now, we both love our jobs and work for a good company," I said.
We were both insulted at his suggestion that our jobs weren't "good enough" and that we were basically doing this in the meantime, till starting our "careers."
Readers, how would you have handled this question?
