ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) - The 800-mile trans-Alaska pipeline remains shut down as repair work continued to fix a leak.
The pipeline was shut down early Saturday to install a bypass pipe around the leak. The shutdown was only expected to last 36 hours, but the restart now is expected to take place early Monday.
Workers are installing a 157-foot pipe around the leak discovered more than a week ago at a booster pump at a station on the North Slope.
Alyeska Pipeline Service Co. operates the pipeline and says sealing and draining the pipe is taking longer than expected.

November 29, 2015
LEXINGTON, Ky. (WKYT) - The Obama administration wants to establish a college-rating system that would incorporate factors like tuition, post-graduation debt, and post-graduation earnings.
Groups in the higher education field are skeptical about the idea.
What will make up the college-rating system still needs to be determined, administrators at UK are waiting to see what happens.
"The idea of having that across the country, in a standardized format, makes a lot of sense. We support that concept," UK Spokesperson Jay Blanton told WKYT.
That's only if the details are worked out to ensure fairness for the nation's variety of institutions. Blanton says students and families could benefit from a new way to pick a school.
"They need to be able to compare apples to apples and oranges to oranges," Blanton said.
President of the Kentucky Council on Postsecondary Education Robert King has his doubts on how effective the rating system will be.
"It pays no attention to the quality of the education. It's just quantity and price," said King.
He says the rating system will be skewed. For example, a school with high tuition but has graduates that don't earn a lot of money, and they acquire a high amount of debt, then the institution's rating could suffer. He fears universities or colleges will become "low cost diploma mills" in order to get a good rating.
"The president's plan is trying to use a simple idea to solve a complicated problem," King explained.
A proposal for the college-ratings is expected to be set by late next year.

When can we officially call Jindal a "probable 2012 presidential candidate"? He's going in...
Politicians should not be able to profit from book deals or anything else while in office. It just wreeks of corruption. Just like Obama getting a $500k check as an advance on his next book deal, one day before being sowrn in as President. Disgusting.
Book deals have always been used as a nice way to pay politicians. Jindal will write a book. Then someone who wants a political favor will come along and buy a couple thousand copies putting a good little chunk of money in Jindal's pocket. Those books will then be used as gifts, holiday presents, donations...etc, and written off of the purchasers taxes.
Supposedly one of the previoius govenors of Lousiana would go to Vegas on vacation and play poker with lobbyist. The Govenor always won and he always one big, but it was legit.
As an aside, Jindal's denial of stimulus money is only hurting the people of Louisiana, especially those who are unemployed and could use the additional unemployment benefits. The only reason Jindal is in office right now is because his predecessor a Democrat botced up Katrina. As a kneejerk reaction the folks of Louisiana voted Republican and didn't bother looking at the candidate they were electing.
You REALLY want to see if Jindal is a worthwile presidential candidate, then look at what he's doing for education in Louisiana. That's where the state is hurting the most. Then look at what he is doing to clean up crime in the Capital City (Baton Rouge).
Presumably, this will NOT come out on "Books on Tape"
the bush white house dropped the ball on katrina and the dems is louisiana are small gov advocates or convs so dont blame the national dems.

According to new couple, Kim Kardashian and Kanye West, the two "love-birds" have had feelings for each other since 2004 but didn't act on those feelings until now. Citing respect for their relationships at the time (Kim was with Reggis/Kris and Kanye was with Amber), Kim and Kanye never acted "inappropriately." Well, once the coast was "clear," the two decided to make a move. Here's how TMZ is reporting it…

Following wine with dinner, I have moved on to 4R '12 SmB LE, I like it, but don't love it. It is the most enjoyable 4R I've ever had, but just can't quite get everyone's love for 4R. But, that is part of what makes bourbon so enjoyable, it is so subjective, to each his own. It will be some JPS 18 #13 after the 4R. Happy St Patrick's Day everyone!
Cracked open an EWSB '03 Batch 2 tonight and just finished off a JPS18 1B.
Started with WLW '12. Now settling in with a standard FRSB. I spoil myself.

Started with EWSB 02, then moved on to Blanton's. Both seem to be getting better as they get lower. The Blanton's has picked up an almond extract note in the nose that adds much to it's caramel goodness. I just wish both of these had a bit more oak in the finish, I've missed that since finishing an EC12.
I opened an '06 OFBB this evening. At first, the nose was a little overwhelming and smelled more like an unaged whiskey. I wasn't getting any hint of it having the standard aged bourbon smell. (Perhaps this was just from being freshly opened.) After a couple cubes of ice, it has become a very enjoyable drink with a pleasant vanilla aroma.
Its my birthday and my brother sent me some Very Xtra Old Fitzgerald 10 year.

BLOUNT, THOMAS WILLIAM (1839–1934). Thomas William Blount, Confederate Army officer and legislator, the oldest son of Mary (Landon) and Stephen William Blount, was born during a visit of his parents to Shelby Springs, Alabama, on October 27, 1839. His father was a signer of the Texas Declaration of Independence. The family returned home to San Augustine, Texas, while Blount was an infant. The Blounts were a family of some means and in addition to their town house in San Augustine owned a plantation on Patroon Creek in the east end of the county. Blount received a primary education in San Augustine and graduated from Kentucky Military Institute at age eighteen. The next year he "took a course in literature," and at age twenty he began to read law.
After secession Blount spent three weeks in Montgomery, Alabama, the temporary capital of the Confederate States, where John H. Reagan introduced him to Jefferson Davis, who appointed him a lieutenant in the Confederate Army. Blount was ordered to report to Pensacola, Florida, as a member of Gen. Braxton Bragg's quartermaster staff. Bragg's mother had been a Blount, a circumstance that no doubt hastened his preferment. Among his duties in the early months of the war was the escort of $2.5 million in specie and banknotes from the Treasury Department in Montgomery to Pensacola to pay Bragg's troops. After about a month in the quartermaster corps, Blount requested and received transfer to the staff of Gen. Adley Hogan Gladden, whom he served as aide-de-camp, instructor in artillery, and inspector general. Blount commanded a battery during the bombardment of Fort Pickens in November 1861 and until April 1862 supervised the fortification of Mobile Bay. In April he was reassigned to Bragg's command at Corinth, Mississippi, and appointed chief of ordnance. He participated in the defense of Fort Pillow, Tennessee, and served as its last commandant prior to its evacuation by the Confederates at the end of May 1862. Thereafter he served for a time on the staff of Gen. Earl Van Dorn before transferring to the staff of Gen. Henry Watkins Allen as inspector general and participating in the battle of Baton Rouge, in August 1862. He was captured at Baton Rouge, placed on the gunboat USS Essex, and interviewed by Commodore David Dixon Porter and later, in New Orleans, by Gen. Benjamin F. Butler. Blount was shortly exchanged and returned to the army as ordnance officer under Col. William R. Miles during the siege of Port Hudson, Louisiana. When Port Hudson was surrendered on July 9, 1863, he once again became a prisoner and ate "old rotten beans and rancid bacon" at Johnson Island until February 1, 1865, when he was transferred to Fortress Monroe. From there he was moved to Fort McHenry and then to Fort Delaware before being paroled on June 12, 1865. He returned to San Augustine on July 4.
Although the ill effects of prison caused him to give up the study of law, in 1866 Blount was elected to represent the Fifth District in the Eleventh Texas Legislature–the so-called "Bloody Eleventh"–composed almost entirely of former Confederate officers. He served but a single term before returning to his plantation about four miles west of San Augustine. Blount was married to Mary Rather of Shelby County and was the father of four children. In 1929 he dictated his memoirs to an amanuensis, Lois Foster Blount, who edited them for publication in the Southwestern Historical Quarterly (July 1935). In 1910 he returned to San Augustine, where he died on May 6, 1934.

Police released surveillance video of the man they believe is responsible for two robberies in two different counties.
The robberies happened early Monday morning at convenience stores in Palatka and St. Augustine. The St. Johns County Sheriff's Office released surveillance video from the armed robbery that happened at the Race Trac gas station on State Road 207 in St. Augustine Monday morning. They are hoping the surveillance pictures will catch the armed robber.
"Two things we are looking for: the public's assistance in the identity of the suspect, the identity of the witness in this incident," said St. Johns County Sheriff's Office Sgt. Catherine Payne.
One camera angle shows the man holding a gun in his right hand. The video then shows store clerks calmly opening the cash register to put money in a plastic bag. When the cash is loaded the man leaves and the clerks call police.
Deputies said they believe the female customer shown in the video could give police a better description of the male armed robber.
Police in Palatka told Channel 4 the robber's mannerisms and clothing matches the description of the person who robbed a convenience store in another county.
"It's very possible the suspect could strike again. It may not be in this same area, but it's always a possibility," said Palatka Police Department's James Griffith.
Police said the clerks in the St. Johns County store did the right thing by following the armed robber's commands and giving him exactly what he wanted.
Anyone with information on the robberies is urged to call Crime Stoppers in St. Johns County at 1-888-277-TIPS.

you know, for once i agree with chuck. it's quite a painful lesson to sit through a financial loss for 2+ years, but what's really appalling is to watch ceo's like tellier get away with it. i can hardly believe he was once a top 40 under 40, but he clearly lost some serious credibility and respect in the market and that is a career-ending move for any ceo. he does not have what it takes to navigate rough waters, and that is how you measure a ceo's true worth and value to an organization, especially one that is public. i suppose he created the ripples for them in the first place many years ago and kudos to chuck who had the foresight to see that yellow would end up where it is today. on the other hand, maybe tellier served his purpose.....who knows who his puppet masters are and what they plan for yellow in the new world of digital marketing & advertising? i feel sorry for the 240,000 customers who had to endure this drama as well.
as investors, we have 6 more days to endure this sorry tale and witness its ultimate conclusion. at the bod meeting that is certain to occur this week, one of the agenda items ought to be what to do with tellier. his track record and results ought to speak for themselves.

US Drone Strike on South Waziristan House Kills 20
Third Attack in Shaktoi in Less than a Week
US drones fired several missiles at a house in the Shaktoi region, straddling North and South Waziristan, killing at least 20 people. 15 of them were labeled as suspected Taliban, with the others totally unknown.
It is the third attack in the Shaktoi region in less than a week, with a Thursday attack in North Waziristan's Pasalkot village killing 18 people. Officials say the Thursday strike was an assassination attempt against Tehreek-e Taliban Pakistan (TTP) leader Hakimullah Mehsud.
The TTP has released two audiotapes since Thursday, apparently of Hakimullah, denying that he was injured or killed in the drone strike. Rumors of his death or at least a serious injury continue to linger.
Which is likely the source of the recent strikes in Shaktoi. A Friday attack on a house in Bichi, just outside Pasalkot, killed six people, and today's attack is just on the South Waziristan side of the border, but also not far from Pasalkot. It seems the drones are attempting to catch a potentially injured Hakimullah while he recovers.
It was also the tenth US drone attack into Pakistan in 2010, a feverish pace compared to even the escalated pace in 2009. The US launched 44 attacks in 2009, while the present pace, if kept up, would have them launching 214 attacks in 2010.
The 2009 attacks killed only a handful of militant leaders, with the vast majority of the victims apparent civilians. Of the 2010 attacks so far only one significant militant, an al-Qaeda bodyguard named Mahmoud Mahdi Zeidan, has been confirmed killed, though the fate of Hakimullah remains uncertain.

Taliban should be proud as being the most expensive People on Earth. one Mill. per Troop on the ground for the mighty USA. to fight so-called Sheep herders ? one Trillion Dollars in war spending so far would have provided free socialized Health care for every one. what a shame that your whole house of senators is dancing to the tune of a hand full of zi – oni -sts.
hey robert get out of america
This drone war is the sickest, most cowardly, strategy in the history of war. The U.S. plays the role of the bad guys in a science fiction movie.
love those drones
no one cares.
until we have to deal with the consequences, blame the Zionist, blame who ever, just don't blame americans, how can they be expect to stop something they don't care to know about?
For every man, woman or child killed by drones, one, two or more indifferent relatives are going to join the fight…..drone killings sound like a crazy mad scientist's folly, doesn't he know his laws of physics…..such as for every action there IS a reaction?
If drones continue to kill and if instead of showing the enemy the constructive sides, the destructive "shock and awe" policies are practised…then…in not too far future, the waves of anti-American anger might engulf new neutral zones, zones becoming so large not all drones can reach their ends.

Gorgeous Great Expectations star Jeremy Irvine must get plenty of invitations for drinks - but he admitted that he was a little taken aback when he got asked for a bevy at Buckingham Palace!
The actor told Marie Claire magazine that there were some very special guests at the 'War Horse' premiere - and he got given the Royal summons. Jeremy was invited back to the Palace for a few celebratory drinks.
"It was amazing, but I couldn't appreciate it," he said. "I had five minutes when they asked 'would you like to come back for a drink?' and I was like 'What do I do?' I just grabbed my Grandma. And now I can say 'I got to take my grandma to Buckingham Palace for a drink.'It's so nice to be able to do stuff like that."
We're sure Kate, William and co loved Granny Irvine - and we can't help but be impressed that Jeremy is such a good grandson. Would you have thought so fast in his shoes? Who would you bring along to drinks with K Middy? Let us know!

PITTSBURGH—Investigators have pinpointed the origin of a downtown Pittsburgh fire that damaged a restaurant, as well as a bagel shop and champagne lounge next door.
Public safety officials first believed Monday's fire started in the rear of a Bruegger's Bagel shop then spread to Perle', a champagne and tapas lounge located upstairs. But detectives now say the fire started in the ceiling above a wood fire oven at Nola, a New Orleans-themed bar and restaurant..
The champagne lounge, which generally operates in the evening, was closed when firefighters entered it to battle the fire about 12:45 p.m. Monday, as smoke poured from the front of the upstairs business and through a rear roof.
The bagel shop and Nola evacuated without incident, except for a restaurant chef who was burned trying to stop the fire with an extinguisher.

What's a dazzling urbanite like you doing in a rustic setting like this?
Artistically-inclined, dark-humored, big-hearted, tattooed lady with a penchant for rescuing stray instruments and mercilessly quoting Mel Brooks. Inexplicable combination of homebody and adventurer. Equally comfortable gussied up in a dress and lipstick as I am getting dirt under my nails in beat up boots.

Bonus points for: a big broad build, a love of plaid, vintage vehicles, adventures with dogs, movies with Tom Waits cameos, rock and roll, and the oxford comma. Polyamorists, habitual smokers, over-enthused burners, and white people with dreadlocks need not apply.

Save Money by Harnessing Wind Energy to Power Your Electronics and Appliances
The WCK-750 WindTura 750 Complete Wind Turbine Kit from Windy Nation allows its user to capture the kinetic energy of the wind to generate electricity. The WindTura 750 is capable of producing 800 Watts of power in 29mph wind speeds and as much as 1100 Watts of power in 35mph wind speeds. This generated electricity can be used for applications such as to feed a grid tie inverter, off grid power or to charge 12 Volt or 24 Volt battery banks. The electricity is captured by three, 35 inch blades which use the kinetic energy of the wind to rotate its 3 phase AC permanent magnet alternator. Electrical power is produced by the rotation of the permanent magnet alternator and is then transferred by 3 electrical wires to ground level.
To protect itself from damage and failure in high wind conditions the WindTura 750 uses a method referred to as furling. The assembled tail is attached to the yaw mount which is on a 20 degree angled pivot bar. This pivot bar is what allows the yaw mount and generator to rotate away from the wind as speeds gust over 30mph. Once wind speeds exceed roughly 30mph the generator and blades will begin to rotate out of the wind as a result of the rotational inertia of the spinning blades. As wind speed continues to increase the generator and blades will continue to rotate out of the wind until they reach nearly 90 degrees to ensure they are protected. When the wind speed returns to a speed of 30mph or lower the generator and blades will begin to unfurl and face the wind directly again to ensure optimum performance. Without this rotation away from the wind the turbines generator would begin rotating at such high rpms that the current (amps) produced would be too much heat for the generator to handle causing it to overheat and breakdown. To ensure that the furling mechanism works correctly it is important to make sure the tower is installed vertically and it is recommended that a level be used to confirm this. If the WindTura is not mounted vertically then the generator and blades can begin to furl at undesignated wind speeds. For optimum performance it is recommended that the turbine be mounted 20 feet above all nearby objects.
- Comes with everything needed to assemble the wind turbine
- Produces up to 800W of power in 29mph wind
- Produces up to 1100W of power in 35mph wind
- Works with both 12 Volt and 24 Volt battery banks
- Furling allows turbine to withstand high wind speeds

On the night of Sunday, December 16, 2012, a 23 year old paramedical student from Dehra Dun was gangraped and brutally tortured on a moving bus in New Delhi. Almost four days since then, she has undergone five surgeries and is battling for her life. An outraged nation is demanding there be stringent punishment for rape. But as they say, charity begins at home and with that in mind, I am sharing what I earlier shared as a status message on Facebook:
"In light of the recent incidents -- I want to have a son (biological or adopted). I want to have a little boy and I want to teach him how to be a man -- how to not kick dogs or throw stones at them, how to not break his toys. I want to tell him that being sensitive and shedding tears is not a silly thing, that it's okay if he wants to sit at home and paint or read. When he is old enough, I will show him a few birthing videos, scar him for life and tell him that some woman went through all that pain to make him and that he needs to respect every woman he comes across in his life because they all have a power he doesn't and that he should forever be thankful, for without them, he wouldn't be."
"All these Nazi like horrors were revenge based because of perceived insults to manhood!"
Why blame Nazi's always.....
According to Time magazine of September 17, 1945, the US government provided their soldiers with an estimated 50 million condoms per month, and graphically instructed them as to their use.
One of the US soldiers wrote home " For all practical purposes, our soldiers were being told: , Teach these Germans a lesson — and have a wonderful time!-- Such were the great crusaders who brought "democracy" to Europe."
All of these 50 million condoms per month were consumed-- by doing what?
Using them as beach volleyballs?
that there were no whore houses in Germany at the end of the war.
Two million German women were raped after the 2nd world war by Eisenhowers Allied soldiers.
The fall guys were of course the Red Star army of the Russians and the Black African soldiers
Bharti Ghosh >> Why men commit sexual crimes is because they are bullies. And bullies buckle down real fast when bullied themselves
And many a times these bullies harras non bully men as well. The problem is something deeper - our country is having a huge teeming population of young men, who are not employed, not employable.
This is in a way the end result of the economic policies that have punished development and progress and rewarded status quo. The more time is wasted on status quo and stalling development, more we have unemployed bully males who have too much time on their hand and feel the need to harras the weak (mostly women,and sometimes men too) to prove a point.
First of all, the average Indian parent should give the same care and respect to their offsprings,, without any gender bias . Avoid using Ultrasound to forcibly abort female foetus.,
Why men commit sexual crimes is because they are bullies. And bullies buckle down real fast when bullied themselves. I think public shame should be introduced as a punishment. Speedy trials and well televised public shaming such as caning before start of sentence etc should get to be mandatory. The fear that the slightest hint of a runaway, flaming manhood could get subjected to some violent, official thrashing would be a good damper to any untoward stirrings in the loins. Perhaps then the scrawny, pan chewing, lungi wearer swaggering as he makes clucking noises at any woman who happens to meet his gay eyes would be a thing of the past. What's time in jail for a lowly life form anyway? He would be happy to be with more of his kind, a roof over his head and his meals on time.
Recently there was Shonali Mukherjee on KBC with a heart-wrenching story of acid being thrown on her head while she's asleep. Her head melted away. How barbaric is that! And the devils who did it are free because they did not rape? Also recently is the incident of a young girl attacked and murdered by a security guard at Bhakti Park, Mumbai. The girl with a slit throat actually rushed around ringing the apathetic neighbours' doorbells before giving in. Equally horrific! All these Nazi like horrors were revenge based because of perceived insults to manhood! And both incidents are now in the past because justice is going to take its time and if something does come out it would be a day's news in the papers to be forgotton and without impact. No lessons taught , no lessons learnt. These goons need to be shaken not stirred!
An aggravated sexual assault can be termed as rape, even if there were no penetration ,biologically speaking. Laws in India have to be changed about sexual assault and in respect to the treatment of women in the society.
But a rape ( aggravated sexual assault) is a learned behaviour. A respect to a woman ,developed in a man ( because it is a learned behaviour) should effectively check rape incidents. In USA for example, in some cities rape incidents are very high. If compared, to per population basis, rape incidents ( in that case ) are less in Indian cities compared to US. But that cannot be a solace. In our country women Goddesses are worshipped in temples. So, naturally we have to think as to what is happening to our society? Have we lost our roots? It is because rape in Urban areas are increasing by every year and statistics for every city shows that.
We are fast losing our roots and emulating the west. Since rape is a learned behaviour ( or an acquired psychological behaviour) we must know that all types of commercialization of women making her a commodity is bound to lead to a wrong emphasis , of looking at a woman. A woman is a person , a whole being and may be much more sentimental and sophisticated due to her feminine nature than what a man can be. But treatment of womanhood as a commodity leads to dangerous consequences , a dangerous behavioural pattern in men. Social background, genetically, tendencies also lead to development of a rapist.
In our Puranas it is said that reading about three women in their original depiction by Valmiki in Ramayana and Bhagavan Vysa in Mahabharata cures the perverted sexual behaviour in men. But for sure I can say that it can inculcate lot of respect for women. These women are Sita , Ruma ( wife of Vali ) ,and Droupadi. There are many commentaries by Sanskrit scholars who said that reading stories of these three woman even cure sexual phantasies.
While reading Ramayana it is also warned that after Kishkinada khanda and reading about the heart rending cries of Ruma over the body of Vali, one must stop reading and shall take bath and read the last chapter of Ramayana wherein coronation of Lord Rama is described. And so, is the case with Sita. In Valmiki Ramyana alone, in Yuddha Khanda a battle ground is described where Lord Rama is perceived to be dead , with all arrows all over his body like a procupine. Sita comes to the battle ground , weeps over her husband, ranting about her mind,her beliefs, her desires and her love of husband , with dead Rama's head in her lap. Even Rakshasa woman who accompanied her, suddenly engulf in grief and start weeping. After reading this scene , it is advised that you should go back and read about Kumbha Karna's death once again.
Respect for woman is a learned habit. One has to cultivate it and his family background and the literature he reads helps him cultivate this. The literature is such as the ones which shows the greatness of their feminine nature , their natural propensity to show love and affection and crises they face just because they are woman. Unless otherwise in a world where a woman is more or less treated as a commodity just like chocolate for example, a man cannot develop respect for woman or would be able to understand their feminine, beautiful mind or heart.

I can't get enough of this weather! I seriously cannot. I have to fold laundry, which I normally really enjoy doing because it means I get to watch an episode of a show on Netflix, but today I just want to GO OUTSIDE!! And everybody knows you cannot fold outside or you'll get leaves and sticks all over your clean clothes. Such a letdown.
I was a bookworm these last two weeks. I read:
- Intern: A Doctor's Initiation by Sandeep Jauhar. A really interesting book! AND SUPER DISGUSTING AT TIMES.
- Paris: A Love Story by Kati Marton. I wanted to poke my eye out about 196 times while reading this. (One eye poke per page.) I thought this would be a nice little story about Kati falling in love with her husband (Richard Holbrooke, perhaps you've heard of him), and yet it was not. It was narcissistic, bitter and unkind in places, and an overall depressing read.
- Call The Midwife by Jennifer Worth. This was such a fascinating book that I requested another book of hers from the library and am looking forward to getting it. Have you seen the BBC series on PBS? It's based on this memoir, and both are amazing. I'm re-watching the series now that I'm all freshly jazzed from reading the book.

Vehicles with Consumer Reviews
Narrow year range (drag arrows to filter):
The 2015 Buick LaCrosse gets some noteworthy technology improvements. GM's OnStar now uses 4G LTE technology, and the LaCrosse gets a standard Wi-Fi hotspot to share the Internet connection. The LaCrosse also benefits from the new Siri Eyes Free, a comprehensive integration of the speech recognition technology from Apple's iPhone.
Extensively freshened, the LaCrosse sports a bigger waterfall grille, a new hood, and revised lighting with the option of bi-xenon HID adaptive headlights. The rear fascia has an integrated spoiler and wraparound LED taillights, and the interiors have been redesigned with upgraded materials, new seats, a new center control stack, updated telematics, and a posh new Ultra Luxury option.
After eAssist's debut last year, 2013 is quiet for the LaCrosse. Option groups are arrayed in five packages now (previously seven), ranging from the base LaCrosse to the Touring package, with Leather, Premium I and Premium II levels filling in. All-wheel drive (AWD) is available on Leather and Premium I trim levels.
The biggest change in the 2012 LaCrosse is standard eAssist, which marries an 11 Kw (15-hp) electric motor to a 182-hp 2.4-liter Ecotec four driving a six-speed automatic transmission. It's good for a 20-percent improvement in EPA highway fuel economy and an impressive 32-percent boost in city economy over the 2011 four-cylinder LaCrosse. If you prefer horsepower to hybrid power, a lighter and more powerful (than last year) 303-hp 3.6-liter V6 is a no-cost option.
The redesigned 2010 LaCrosse is not the stately Buick sedan that your grandfather drove. With a fresh look, a just-right price and a much more engaging ride than you'd expect, this four-door is sure to make people rethink the Buick brand.
For 2009, heated side mirrors are made standard on all models, while the CX trim has its wheel covers replaced by 16-inch painted aluminum wheels. Bluetooth hands-free phone communication is now optional across the line. The CSX trim has been discontinued.
Buick wants to appeal to younger buyers, and the 2015 LaCrosse sedan is at the forefront of that effort. It's handsome without being in-your-face about its styling, and it comes very well equipped even in base models. On the road, it's comfortable and quiet, with a pair of refined drivetrains to choose from: a 2.4-liter 4-cylinder with GM's "eAssist" mild-hybrid system, or a 304-horsepower V6. Conservatively handsome, well equipped, capable, quiet, comfortable, and refined, the LaCrosse presents well as a thoroughly credible alternative to import brands like the new Hyundai Genesis and Acura TLX sedans. You can even add the traction enhancements of all-wheel drive. This year, the Buick LaCrosse expands its technology portfolio as well, with 4G LTE and a wireless hotspot.

|Management of peripheral arterial injury.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 20852417 Owner: NLM Status: In-Data-Review
|PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Significant changes in the management of patients, with possible or documented injuries to peripheral arteries, have occurred over the last 20 years.
RECENT FINDINGS: Based on recent military experience, it is likely that the use of tourniquets by civilian emergency medical services systems will increase. Evaluation in the emergency center will continue to rely on a careful physical examination and measurement of an ankle-brachial index (ABI) or arterial pressure index (API). Patients without 'hard signs' of an arterial injury and an API or ABI less than 0.9 should undergo arteriography in the trauma room with a digital subtraction device, in radiology by computed tomography arteriography, which is rapidly replacing conventional arteriography, or surgeon-performed arteriography in the operating room. A temporary intraluminal arterial shunt is indicated in patients with unstable fractures in the extremity or in near-exsanguinated patients needing 'damage control'. A saphenous vein interposition graft is the conduit of choice when segmental resection of an injured artery is necessary. Measurement of postarterial repair compartment pressure is the most definitive way to determine the need for fasciotomy in an injured extremity.
SUMMARY: The care of patients with injured peripheral arteries has remained the same in some areas; however, lessons from the battlefield, new imaging technology, the safety of nonoperative management, use of temporary intraluminal shunts, and better recognition of postrepair compartment syndromes have had a significant impact on current management.

It was always going to be a trick for me to feed the blog in the latter bit of the summer, as I've been planning almost 5 weeks of travel, much of it without internet access. A few days ago, though, an unfortunate event pushed the timetable forward a few weeks. My 4-year-old daughter had a playground accident that left her with a broken leg, which is encased in a cast from toes to thigh for a month or more. So, until at least September, I'll be resisting the urge to blog and tweet, while I focus on the non-negotiable jobs of taking care of an immobile, injured child and keeping up with professional obligations.

Richard Crocker (Partner)
Wills, Probate and Tax Saving Strategies
Harpenden Office
Telephone: 01582 765111Email Me
Richard Crocker is the Head of the Private Client team at Taylor Walton and works with a growing team that offers a high quality service in the local area, as well as further afield. He offers specialist advice on a wide range of issues including Wills, lifetime tax-planning and probate, to an extensive and long-standing client base.
Richard graduated from Newcastle University with a history degree and his first career was with British Telecom where he was involved in developing overseas networks and negotiating international agreements. He then decided on a change of career in favour of the law and attended the College of Law in London between 1985 and 1987 where he completed the conversion course. Richard was articled with London firm Beale & Co and joined the well known Private Client Department at Withers LLP as a qualified solicitor in 1990.
He joined Taylor Walton in 1997, having decided that he would like to work more locally, and became a Partner in 2000. Richard has been Head of the Private Client team since 2004 and is based in the Harpenden office. Since his arrival, the department has expanded significantly in the size and expertise reflecting Richard's ambition to create a team capable of providing the level and quality of service generally considered to be the natural territory of London firms (rather than regional practices). He places great importance on winning and retaining clients and providing an outstanding client service.
Richard also works closely with the firm's Commercial Litigation team through his knowledge and expertise of contentious trust and probate claims, dealing with claims to challenge the validity of Wills and Codicils and disputes between executors and trustees and beneficiaries. An interesting recent case included a challenge by a disaffected family member to the validity of a Will on the grounds that the testator was illiterate.
Advising on Wills and related issues of succession planning, inheritance tax planning and family protection forms a major part of Richard's practice with many clients being particularly keen to put in place flexible and protective arrangements as a result of the current economic climate, which has undoubtedly had an impact on personal relationships as well as financial matters.
Richard also deals with the administration of estates (often complex and valuable) and he regularly acts as an executor, as well as a trustee and attorney for existing clients. In this context, Richard works regularly with other departments in the firm, and particularly the Residential Property department in connection with property disposals by estates and trusts.
Following recent changes to the taxation of trusts, Richard has been involved in advising clients on existing trust structures and implementing changes to those arrangements to take advantage of the "window of opportunity" offered by the new legislation. He is particularly keen on complex technical drafting! Richard also advises on trust structures created by Wills, often with associated family issues.
Richard has a good working relationship with both professional referrers and clients and has consistently been recognised as a leading practitioner by the Legal 500, an independent guide to the best law firms and lawyers in the UK.

Traveling abroad gives our editor-in-chief Eva Chen the insatiable urge to spend money. "There's just something about being overseas that makes you want to buy everything," she explained to me last February while preparing for her fashion month tour of London, Milan and Paris. "I have this theory that when you're traveling you could literally be buying the most standardized thing, like a Starbucks or McDonalds, and it's just better."
But even more than ordering foreign lattes and french fries, Eva loves scouring other countries for makeup, skin and hair care products she can't find at her local Sephora. As a former beauty editor, she has an insider's perspective on the best international brands and stocks up in every city she visits, whether it's Paris ("The French pharmacie scene is so wonderful!"), Japan ("I just want everything, really.") or Korea ("The skincare scene there is amazing—they have a beauty boutique on every block the way New York has Starbucks."). She's shared some of her favorites creams, lotions, oil and balms in the slideshow above, many of which are available on a select few e-commerce sites (slide two, though, unfortunately requires either a round-trip ticket to France or a generous European friend). Click through to shop her picks now.

Some of you collect bikes. Some of you collect bike photos or bike experiences. I "collect" bike shops; places I like to visit and put on my list for repeat visits when I can. I'm always looking for an excuse to spend a bit of parts/accessory/chain lube money locally...
Here's some places that are new to me...
Worth a visit, IMHO:
2020 Cycles
Seattle, the central district.
Used bike shop by day, performance space by night. Like a very small version of Recycled Cycles -- a bunch of used bikes, a service department, and both new and used parts. In the central district at 2020 Union. Seem like very good people to know, esp. if you are interested in older bikes or urban transportation.
Ubrdo Cycle and Mountain Supply
Downtown Kirkland.
Small mountain gear and bike shop started a year or so ago by former manager of Montrose Cycles, Kirkland. Surly, Swobo, Gunnar, others. Definitely worth a stop if you're doing the loop around Lake Washington, it's right on the route in downtown Kirkland.
Angle Lake Cyclery
This place has been around forever (51 years) but I had never been there until I dropped in after dropping my wife at the airport a few weeks ago.
Wow. Not your typical Seattle bike shops. More folders (Dahon, Montague) and recumbents (Rans, Bachetta) and general "stuff" than I'd ever seen in one place.
New Counterbalance store on the Burke Gilman, U-Village
This is the shop that replace the old Ti Cycles location just north of U-Village. Very nice place, very friendly. I stopped in when they were just opening some time ago; now it's fully finished and full of great bikes - Jamis, Surly, Salsa, Independent Fabrication, Co-Motion, Civia. Definitely worth a visit. Same people who run Counterbalance in Queen Anne.
Of course I have not abandoned my old favorites:
And I wished I lived closer to:

SEOUL, South Korea - North Korea is preparing a rare military exercise involving its army, navy and air force that could be launched this week in the tense Yellow Sea, reports in South Korea said July 26.
A government source quoted by the South's Yonhap news agency said the North had assembled about 20 navy vessels including landing craft off the western port of Nampo and deployed MiG-21 fighters to Onchon airbase in the same area.
The Korea JoongAng Daily, also citing a government source, carried a similar report.
"It depends on the weather, but we believe they're setting up for a landing exercise sometime after Wednesday," Yonhap's source was quoted as saying.
July 27 is the 58th anniversary of the signing of the armistice that ended the 1950-53 Korean War. The two countries are still technically at war, as no formal peace treaty was signed.
A defense ministry spokesman said he had no information on the reports, which came just four days after a rare meeting between nuclear envoys from the two Koreas raised hopes of easing tensions.
In another preparation for the possible resumption of nuclear disarmament talks, a senior North Korean official will travel to New York this week for talks.
"Military exercises in summer are normal in North Korea, but it's rather unusual for it to carry out a joint military drill around the armistice anniversary," the source said.
The source said the exercise might be a reaction to the South's launch of a new military command last month to bolster island defenses near the disputed Yellow Sea border.
The North shelled one of the islands last November and killed four people.
The North's leader Kim Jong-Il and his son and heir-apparent Kim Jong-Un have visited the Navy Command in Pyongyang, the country's official news agency said late July 25.
It was the first time a visit by Kim to the Navy Command has been reported since May 2002.

Over at Minnesota Opera, it's getting so you can't swing conductor's baton without hitting a Pulitzer Prize-winner. The latest is composer Jennifer Higdon, who is co-writing (with librettist Gene Scheer) an opera based on the Charles Baxter novel "Cold Mountain."
A co-commission with Santa Fe Opera and Opera Philadelphia, "Cold Mountain" will have its world premiere in New Mexico in 2015 and appear locally in 2018. "Cold Mountain" joins several new works at Minnesota Opera, which will present the world premiere of "The Manchurian Candidate" in 2015 by Pulitzer Prize winners Mark Campbell and Kevin Puts, and an adaptation of Stephen King's "The Shining" the following season, with libretto by Campbell and music composed by Paul Moravec, who also has a Pulitzer in his trophy case.

Hawaii CensusEdit This Page
From FamilySearch Wiki
Portal:United States Census >Hawaii
1900-1930 Census--The Family History Library has the U.S. federal censuses of Hawaii for 1900, 1910, 1920, and 1930.
Historical Background
1900--The Territory of Hawaii was established.
1959--Hawaii attained statehood.
Soundex--Soundex or phonetic indexes are available for the 1900, 1920, and 1930 censuses. The 1910 Federal Census has been published (Family History Library book 996.9 X22h 1910).
Ancestry--All census records for Hawaii have been indexed at Ancestry.
Special Censuses
Colonial Census
Colonial censuses exist for some portions of Hawaii for 1866, 1878, 1890, and 1896. The 1878 census is for Hilo only, and the 1896 is for the island of Oahu only. The 1890 and 1896 censuses are the most complete. They give the name, age, sex, and birthplace of every person. The 1878, 1890, and 1896 censuses are available at the Hawaii State Archives and the Family History Library (Family History Library films 1010681-88).
Census Files
The Hawaii State Archives also has two "census files," 1840 to 1866 and 1847 to 1866, which contain miscellaneous records such as school census, population lists, and vital record summaries (Family History Library film 1009896 item 1-2 has records for 1840-1866).
State and Territorial Censuses
The federal census records 1900-1930 for Hawaii are territorial censuses, since Hawaii was not a state until 1959. For state census records, refer to Colonial census records under Special Censuses.

|Monoaminergic changes associated with socially induced sex reversal in the saddleback wrasse.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 12763086 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|The process of sex reversal in fishes is socially mediated and requires a total reorganization of the hypothalamo-pituitary-gonadal axis. When the ratio of males to females in a population of saddleback wrasse (Thalassoma dupperrey) is too low, the largest female becomes male over the course of 6 to 8 weeks. This event requires the conversion of external social cues into internal chemical cues. In an attempt to investigate the role monoamines might play in this process, two females were housed together in floating enclosures in order to induce sex reversal in the larger. Brains were sampled at various time points throughout the process of sex reversal. Monoamines were measured in the amygdala, preoptic area, ventral hypothalamus, locus coeruleus and raphe nucleus. Changes were demonstrated in monoamine metabolism for all brain regions examined. The most important changes in monoamine-system activation were seen during the first week of sex reversal. It is during this time that transitional animals undergo behavioral sex reversal. There is an increase in serotonergic activity in the amygdala which is likely related to territorial acquisition. The absence of male aggression results in a less stressful environment for the female and a reduction in serotonergic activity in the preoptic area allowing for an increase in noradrenergic activity potentially triggering the reorganization of the reproductive axis. In the ventral hypothalamus, there is a decrease in noradrenergic and increase in dopaminergic activity associated with this change from female to male. The locus coeruleus shows an increase in noradrenergic activity later in the process of sex reversal which is probably a response to more circulating androgens. In the raphe nucleus, there is a decrease in serotonergic activity at the time of behavioral sex reversal. This decrease in serotonergic activity is linked to the behavioral component of sex reversal. This study suggests that monoamines play a very important role in both behavioral and gonadal sex reversal in the saddleback wrasse, the former under the control of serotonin in the raphe and the latter mediated via serotonergic effects on norepinephrine in the preoptic area.

Members of the Fond du Lac business community are working to raise funds for new playground equipment at Hamilton Park.
Both Dominos Pizza and JaM Chocolates are holding fundraising sales to help replace equipment burned by arsons on May 12.
Dominos will hold a rummage sale on Wednesday, May 22 with the help of the local group Fondy & Area Buy, Sell & Give Away in the parking lot at 321 S. Main St. Anyone interested in donating items for the sale can drop them off at Dominos, 30s S. Main St.
Fifteen percent of Dominos sales between 10:30 a.m. and 1 p.m. on May 23 will be donated toward the park. Dominos is selling coupon books for $5.
Dominos is also donating $100 from the donation jar at the restaurant for the park. The business hopes to raise $750 from the various fundraisers, said manager Sandy Ritchie.
Ritchie said it is important for children in the Hamilton Park neighborhood to have a place to play.
So many people wanted to do something, but no one knew what to do, she said. Im just putting two and two together a way for people to donate that may be easier than sending a check. Working where I do allows me to help many people in many ways. Its a huge job perk and probabaly the biggest reason I have stayed in the position Im in.
JaM Chocolates
JaM Chocolates is selling chocolate bars to raise funds to help replace the equipment. Profits will be donated to the Fond du Lac Recreation Department to help with the citys $1,500 deductible insurance payment for replacement equipment.
It is our way of giving back to the community and helping out during this disturbing time, said JaM owner Justin Graef. Plus, we feel bad for the young ones who dont understand what has happened and they now dont have a place to play for awhile.
The business is selling individual candy bars for $3. Boxes of 24 candy bars are $72 and boxes of 36 candy bars are $108. While the business doesnt have a physical location, anyone interested in purchasing candy can go to jamchocolates.com, email email@example.com, or call (920) 273-0925.

Editorials: For the Utah Legislature's to-do, and not-to-do, list ...
Above: Utah's drinking problem is not your normal substance abuse. It's more like this guy's.
- Drinking problem: Utah liquor laws make no sense - Salt Lake Tribune Editorial
Utah has a drinking problem. But not the kind that can be addressed by Alcoholics Anonymous.Legitimate entrepreneurs with sound business plans are held back by arbitrary state regulations that, were they impeding the progress of any other business, would be roundly criticized by many Utah lawmakers as nanny-state big-brotherism. But, because the limits are halting plans to open restaurants and taverns in growing areas along the Wasatch Front, the frustration only builds. ...... But the limits on the number of taverns and, more importantly, full-service restaurants that can serve liquor is arbitrary, bad for business, bad for the state's image and amounts to our own government holding its own adult citizens in contempt, mistrusting their ability to govern themselves.Lawmakers are delving into apparent mismanagement at the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control, as they should. But they should also examine their own mismanagement of the state's permit system, and make some changes. Soon.

- Legal meddling: Let A.G. defend immigration law - Salt Lake Tribune Editorial
A few legislators got it into their heads to try an end run around Attorney General Mark Shurtleff the other day. They apparently don't think Shurtleff will provide a vigorous enough defense of the state's new immigration enforcement law, so they wanted to be named as defendants and hire their own attorney. Shurtleff told them to back off, and they did, fortunately. ......We suspect that legislators who want special counsel on the immigration enforcement law don't trust Shurtleff because he has supported the Utah Compact, a package of policies that includes not only tougher enforcement but a guest-worker law, among other measures. Enforcement-only zealots tend to view anything else as soft on illegal immigration. Shurtleff also accused the legislators, led by Rep. Curtis Oda, R-Clearfield, of a political stunt, because their chosen lawyer, Sean Reyes, who would provide his services free of charge, is a candidate to succeed Shurtleff.But Shurtleff's duty is to defend the state's new laws, regardless of his personal political convictions. Lawyers are professional advocates with a duty to their clients.We would hope that legislators might learn that historical lesson from previous fights between lawmakers and attorneys general. But, apparently, that hope is misplaced.

(Huffington Post) Marie Osmond subtly re-affirmed her support of marriage equality in a poignant new interview.
The singer-actress, who is currently promoting her new memoir The Key Is Love: My Mother's Wisdom, A Daughter's Gratitude, spoke frankly about her daughter Jessica, who is openly "gay."
"The God that I believe in is a god of love, not fear," Osmond, who is a practicing Mormon, told Diane Sawyer.

Point of View
What do you think about a proposed ban on smoking in public places such as restaurants, bars and workplaces?
As much as I hate government interfering with our lives, I love the smoking ban. Going out in Lawrence is so nice without smelling cigarette smoke at your table while eating.
