|Anterolateral papillary muscle rupture: an unusual complication of septic coronary embolism.

|In most cases, acute mitral valve regurgitation in the setting of infective endocarditis is caused by the destruction of either the mitral valve leaflets or the chordal apparatus. A 54-year-old woman had development of respiratory failure due to pulmonary oedema from severe acute mitral valve regurgitation in the setting of acute bacterial endocarditis. She was found to have a ruptured anterolateral papillary muscle from occlusion of the circumflex artery by embolic vegetations arising from the aortic valve. Although this occurrence is uncommon, an embolic phenomenon resulting in myocardial infarction and subsequent rupture of papillary muscle must be considered as a cause of acute severe mitral valve regurgitation.

This building was erected in 1947 by architect F. J. Barba Corsini, on the former site known as the Fábrica, where there once stood a soap factory and a rice-drying facility. It was a place where people went to enjoy themselves playing traditional games.
The municipal market stands there now. It consists of a nave with covered arcades along the sides, where there are various shops. Above these are some large windows with magnificent stained-glass, made using the medieval leading technique, depicting scenes of wildlife from the Ebro Delta.
The market supplies fresh produce from the region that form part of the traditional Mediterranean cuisine, including fish, meat, vegetables, fruit, bread, cakes and pastries, etc.

Fairfield Area school board members is considering whether to replace roof sections for two school buildings.
Portions of the high school and elementary school roofs are being looked at due to leak issues and old age, said Bill Chain, the district's superintendent. As the conversation continues however, school board members will need to decide whether the district can afford the repairs.
"Many schools have delayed purchases because of tight financing," Chain said. "We can only do that for so long with important things like roofs."
A 22-year-old portion of the high school roof, approximately 21,000-square feet, has started to bubble due to condensation issues, he said. The section came with 20-year guarantee and has started to show in age.
"The rubber has been cooled and heated by the sun," Chain said. "These are things that happen over time."
Board members talked about replacing the section last year, but decided not to for budget reasons, he said.
Another two sections at the elementary school, roughly 11,700 square feet each, are being considered for replacement. A portion over the second-grade wing, built in 1999 with a 10-year warranty, has already had several leak-related issues.
The second piece, part of the kindergarten and first-grade wing, has surpassed the 20-year warranty although there have not been any problems with it so far.
"It's important to stay ahead of them by analyzing roof ages and potential problems," Chain said.
At an upcoming meeting, members will vote on whether to ask contractors for an estimate on repair costs, he said. However, asking for an estimate does not necessarily mean the board will replace the sections.
Members are merely discussing the situation at this point, Chain said.
It is unlikely the board will be able to decide whether to make the repairs before the end of June, when the 2013-14 budget is finalized. However, starting the discussion now will allow the board to make an educated decision once it knows the district's financial situation for next year.
"We have to have the best information possible," Chain said. "That's how the best decisions are made."

Worek Plan
The Worek Plan (or Operation Worek, Polish: Plan Worek, literally Plan Sack) was an operation of the Polish Navy in the first days of World War II, in which its five submarines formed a screen in order to prevent German naval forces from carrying out landings on the Polish coast, and to attack enemy ships bombarding Polish coastal fortifications, in particular the fortified Hel Peninsula.
The operation came to naught, as the Germans did not have any plans for naval landings. It caused the submarines to operate in a confined area near the shore in shallow waters, making them vulnerable to strong enemy anti-submarine forces. As a result, despite making a number of attempts, the submarines were unable to directly sink any enemy ships during the operation, although a mine placed by the Żbik did sink a German minesweeper. No Polish submarines were lost to enemy action, but they suffered progressive wear and tear, and technical problems, forcing the submarine commanders to break off their actions, effectively ending the operation by the middle of September 1939.
The Plan[edit]
The plan was created for the five Polish submarines Orzeł (Eagle), Wilk (Wolf), Sęp (Vulture), Żbik (Wild Cat) and Ryś (Lynx) to use, in the event superior enemy surface forces took control of the Baltic Sea (the Polish surface navy consisted only of four destroyers and some minelayers).
The submarines were to operate near the Polish coast, in the area of the Bay of Gdańsk and the Hel Peninsula. They were to engage enemy ships shelling the Polish coast or attempting to land forces on it. The plan explicitly stated that the submarines were to act according to international law, and single, unarmed ships had to be warned before being attacked.
Orzeł was to take the position furthest inside Gdańsk Bay, from Jastarnia to the estuary of the Vistula river. East of Orzeł, in the entry to the Bay, was the place for Wilk. The remaining three submarines were to operate north of the Bay of Gdańsk : Sęp was further West near Rozewie, Ryś was further east, and Żbik in the middle. They had separate areas for recharging batteries during the night: Orzeł even deeper within the Bay of Gdańsk, and the other ships north of their positions.
The Worek Plan was put into action with the German invasion of Poland on 1 September 1939. Several hours after hostilities started, the submarines received communications by radio to open the envelopes containing orders to implement the Worek Plan. By the evening of the same day the last submarine (Sęp) arrived in its sector.
All of the submarines attempted to engage the German forces, but they were all unsuccessful: German forces had numerical superiority and were supported by Luftwaffe units. Although the Polish submarines were frequently attacked with depth charges, none were destroyed. Eventually, after a series of failed attacks on both sides, the captains of the Polish submarines made individual decisions to abandon their sectors.
Orzeł abandoned her sector on 4 September and on 15 September docked in the Estonian port of Tallinn for rest and repairs (international law allowed 24 hours before the ship was to be interned). The ship was seaworthy and after the Estonians attempted to take control of her, she escaped and reached the United Kingdom by 14 October: this event is known as the Orzeł incident. She was eventually sunk in 1940.
Ryś, damaged and unable to engage Germans units, eventually was interned in a Swedish port from 17 September.
Sęp was heavily damaged by a German destroyer on 2 September. She abandoned Plan Worek on the 4th and headed to Sweden, where she and her crew were interned from 17 September.
Wilk was the first Polish submarine to arrive in the United Kingdom; unlike Orzeł her captain decided not to dock at a continental port and risk internment, but to head straight for the British Isles, where Wilk arrived on 20 September. She survived the war.
Żbik indirectly sank a German vessel during the campaign. On 1 October one of the mines she had laid sank the German minesweeper M-85. Increasingly damaged and low on provisions, she was interned in a Swedish port from 25 September.
The Germans had no intention to carry out the landings which the Worek Plan was designed to oppose. Further, only two out of five submarines were able to make it to an Allied (British) port. In retrospect, some military historians[who?] have argued that a much more effective way to deploy the Polish submarines would have been to send them out into the Baltic sea to attack German shipping.

Director Peyton Reed and screenwriters Eve Ahlert and Dennis Drake pay homage to the frothy omantic comedies of the early '60s -- in particular the Doris Day/Rock Hudson vehicles -- in this light-hearted and affectionate spoof. Barbara Novak (Renée Zellweger) is a sweet but savvy small-town librarian who has arrived in New York City with big plans to take on the town. Embracing a feminist philosophy years before it becomes common or fashionable, Novak writes a book called "Down With Love," in which she presents her theory that romantic relationships cause more problems than they solve for women, and urges women to focus instead on what will truly make them happy -- self-reliance, a solid career, and a healthy sex life (or chocolate if the latter is unavailable at the moment). Almost overnight, "Down With Love" becomes a minor scandal and a major bestseller, but not every man is America is happy with the new breed of liberated (and demanding) women spawned by the book's success, and Catcher Block (Ewan McGregor), a lady-killing bachelor who writes for Know Magazine, decides to put Novak to the test. Posing as a shy, retiring type, Block is determined to make Novak fall in love with him, and then share the details with the world through an article in Know. Block's editor Peter MacMannus (David Hyde-Pierce) thinks this is a splendid idea, but to Block's distress, he discovers himself developing real feelings for Novak. Down With Love also features Tony Randall, who significantly appeared in three films with Rock Hudson and Doris Day. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Harriet the Spy
By: Louise Fitzhugh
HARRIET THE SPY First published 1964 By Louise Fitzhugh (1928 – 1974) "Sometimes you have to lie. But to yourself you must always tell the truth." This project has involved rereading lots of books almost 40 years or so after i first read them. They all had many different influences on me, but Harriet the Spy by Louise Fitzhugh was the first time I thought about being a writer. I defintely got my first notebook after reading it and since then I have never not had one, even though it's Evernote on my iPhone now. There is a special pleasure to opening a fresh page and the ability to say anything you want or need. When this book was first published in 1964 there were some criticisms; mostly because it was unlike all other children's books, but specifically almost none of the characters is particularly noble or even very good, including the protagonist. The story is most importantly, groundbreaking in its realism and unflinching in its portrayal of the brutal poiltics of preadolescence. This realism is also finely assisted by Ms Fitzhugh's own stark and soul-baring, pen-and-ink illustrations. New York City on the Upper East Side is not so different now as it was in the early 60?s; just on a matter of scale. Harriet M. Welch residing on East 87th St., and attended to by full time servants, is a preadolescent, rich girl of her times. With mostly absentee parents, a wise and strict yet indulgent nanny, and an indulgent-by-duress cook, Harriet is living her life on her own terms, all by 11 years old. A self-proclaimed writer-to-be and lover of compulsive behavior (tomato sandwich, anyone?), she is inordinately, almost obsessively, involved in her research, i.e., spying and writing poignant yet biting commentary on her friends, classmates, and neighbors. Harriet's notebook entries are, by any measure, cruelly detailed, and she clearly suffers from the classic defect of hubris. Her fall must come and it does two-fold, home and school (the two lives of every kid), she loses both her nanny and her notebook. The depiction of Harriet's punishment at the hands of her classmates rings hauntingly true. It is her fall, punishment, and how she comes to understand what she must do to make amends which is why she's been the literary hero she's has for almost half a century. Before Harriet the Spy, Ms. Fitzhugh was the illustrator on the cult classic Suzuki Beane (annoyingly expensive on Amazon), among others. She also wrote two sequels, The Long Secret, published the next year, which I read back then and remember liking, as well as, Sport, that was published posthumously in 1979, which I haven't read – yet. Ms Fitzhugh's career and life were cut short, tragically, at the age of 46. According to a fan website, there are several unpublished manuscripts; here's hoping these eventually find the light of day. I first read Harriet when I was in fifth grade and I loved it immediately and personally. It exposed the first real itch I ever recognized to commit pen to paper, and also a lifelong habit of sharply observing people. Almost four decades on, I can't say I feel any differently. I reread Harriet prior to writing this and more than anything I felt like going to a stationary store, if they still exist, and buying a notebook, if they still exist, and writing down everything I saw and thought, the way I started to do when I was 10 years old.

Tactile Visualization
Preliminary Exercise #5: Tactile Visualization
Repeat exercise #4, but do it while also imagining the feeling of the material that makes up the object. You must do both of these at the exact same time. You must not forget to visualize(visually) while you are doing tactile visualization, and vice versa. Forgetting to do both is to be considered a break in mental focus.
Do not continue until you can do this for at least 5 minutes with less than 3 breaks in focus.

One of the great techniques of all time is "The Emotion Code". This one is a must have for everyone's toolbox of simple healing techniques. (NOTE: To go one step further, take a look at the Body Code Healing System which includes "The Emotion Code" within it.)
This technique has been taught and developed over several years by Dr. Bradley Nelson. The book he wrote, titled The Emotion Code, was published in June of 2007.
Somewhere along the way it was brought to my attention, I ordered the book, and within a day after its arrival I was hooked.
The purpose is to teach how to find and remove emotions that were not processed completely at the time of an event or situation and ended up becoming trapped in the body. The book covers the topic of trapped emotions quite thoroughly.
"In the same way that the effects of the wind are felt rather than seen, trapped emotions are invisible, yet can exert a powerful influence upon you…..."
"Trapped emotions can cause you to make the wrong assumptions, overreact to innocent remarks, misinterpret behavior and short-circuit your relationships. Even worse, trapped emotions can create depression, anxiety and other unwanted feelings that you can't seem to shake. They can interfere with proper function of your body's organs and tissues, wreaking havoc with your physical health, causing pain, fatigue and illness."Also, a quote from page 13:
"The Emotion Code is about clearing away the baggage, so that you can be who you really are inside. You are not your emotional baggage, but sometimes your trapped emotions can derail you, or cause you to travel on paths you'd rather not take. Trapped emotions can keep you from living the vibrant, healthy life you are meant to live."
This video starts in the middle of a presentation on magnets, but shows
the process of using "The Emotion Code". The speaker is Dr. Bradley
Nelson. In the previous clip, he tested the woman by asking "Do you
have a trapped emotion causing your back pain that we can release now?"
She tested as "Yes" and now in this clip he is proceeding with the
Where can I buy the book?
The book is available through Amazon or through Dr. Bradley Nelson's site: HealersLibrary.com. This book is an easy, enjoyable read and makes a lot of sense.
What is needed to be able to do this technique?
All that is needed is a basic understanding of muscle testing (which is taught in the book), a couple of charts (also in the book or a printable version is available online), and a magnet. That is it!
Where can I learn more?

The South Lamar Boulevard Bridge in Austin, Texas spans Lady Bird Lake. Constructed from 1940 to 1942,2 the bridge was the second permanent bridge to cross the Colorado River and featured six open spandrel concrete arches.1 The crossing was added to the National Register of Historic Places on July 7, 1994.2
Significant growth in Austin, especially south of the Colorado River, resulted in the South Lamar Boulevard Bridge becoming overburdened. It featured ten-foot traffic lanes and narrow sidewalks, and no provisions for cyclists. The bridge's location between downtown and a revitalizing Seaholm District, and the ever-growing park system to the south led the city to press for a bond issue.
As this article is specific to the South Lamar Boulevard Bridge, read onward to the development and construction of the Pfluger Pedestrian and Bicycle Bridge that was completed in 2001 »

Settlement reached after Alabama airport accidentComment on this story
Birmingham, Alabama - The parents of a 10-year-old boy who died last year after a 136kg sign fell on him at an Alabama airport settled a lawsuit on Wednesday with contractors who acknowledged their role in the accident, a lawyer for the parents said.
Luke Bresette was killed and other members of his family were injured when the electronic arrivals/departures sign fell on top of them at the Birmingham-Shuttlesworth International Airport as they headed back to their Kansas home from a spring vacation in March last year.
Outside the Birmingham courtroom on Wednesday, Ryan Bresette, Luke's father, said he forgave those whose mistakes caused the incident, while his attorney, Tim Dollar, said the terms of the settlement were confidential.
"There has been acknowledgement and repentance," Bresette said. "Our family in return extends forgiveness."
The Birmingham airport had undergone a major renovation and had re-opened to the public 10 days prior to the accident.
Brasfield and Gorrie, one of the contractors involved in the settlement, issued a statement saying it would take steps to prevent "anything like this from happening again". - Reuters

|Agenesis of the ductus venosus and its correlation to hydrops fetalis.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 10765517 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|Absence of the ductus venosus is a rare vascular anomaly. We report a late onset of a hydrops fetalis seen in a fetus at 34 completed weeks of gestation. A persistence of the cranial parts of the left and right umbilical veins and of the paired cranial vitelline veins with an absent ductus venosus led to a bilateral hydrothorax, ascites and skin-edema. Postnatally the hydrops resolved within 7 days most probably due to the change from the fetal to the adult circulation. The abnormal venous system was confirmed by angiography. Agenesis of the ductus venosus can manifest in two different morphologic patterns: The umbilical vein drains exclusively into the left branch of the intrahepatic portal vein or the umbilical vein drains into the inferior vena cava or directly into the right atrium by-passing the liver completely. In both patterns, the preferential direction of the flow towards the foramen ovale is not present. While the first pattern leads to hyperperfusion of the liver parenchyma, the latter would result in reduced perfusion and oxygenation. Our findings suggest that agenesis of ductus venosus might induce hydrops fetalis. We conclude, that in every case of hydrops fetalis the venous system should be evaluated by ultrasonography prenatally and/or immediately postnatally.

Beth's Bio
Beth Johnston has an unquenchable thirst for tea. Her enthusiasm was sparked while on her honeymoon ski trip in February 1998 when she discovered a delicious cup of Mango Ceylon. Determined to find the source of the tasty brew she and her husband, Newman, found themselves in a warehouse filled with loose leaf tea, when much to everyone's surprise Beth announced that when she returned home she would be opening a tea company. Teas Etc Inc was founded in July of 1998.
Armed with her newly found enthusiasm, natural sales and marketing ability and an idea Beth quit her lucrative national healthcare position and jumped in with both feet. She quickly learned how little she knew about tea. She immersed herself in the cup learning everything she could. Consumer's misconceptions and the lack of accurate information began to shape the company's objectives. Beth continues to study all aspects of tea; botanical, cultural, regional and the technical evaluation of judging leaf and liquor quality.
Working with gardens and suppliers around the globe Teas Etc. has evolved into a premier source of exceptional teas. Beth's extensive travels have afforded her the good fortune to evaluate tea with some of the world's masters. As a female entrepreneur, in a male dominated industry, Beth is a highly sought after speaker and her obvious enthusiasm is most apparent when she is sharing her expertise and experiences with an audience. Her matter of fact, down to earth content and interactive, animated style both as a writer and presenter have earned her well deserved industry recognition.
Originally a member of the American Premium Tea Institute, now the Specialty Tea Institute, Beth is active in the tea industry serving on the editorial advisory board for Tea Room News, is an Advisory Board Member for the World Tea Expo (WTE) and serves on the 2009 Education Committee for World Tea Expo. She writes a blog, is a regular contributor to trade publications and has appeared on television and in news segments. Most recently she was honored to have been selected as one of eight industry experts to lead the inaugural New Business Boot Camp, an intensive 2 day track held at the 2008 World Tea Expo. In addition Teas Etc was the only female owned tea company to have a winning entry in the Hot Tea Category at the 2008 World Tea Championship.
With Beth at the helm the company began manufacturing its own line of unique tea ware in 2004 and opened a satellite office in Shanghai in 2006. Plans for a more global presence are in the works and the company is continuing its upward growth. Her affection of tea has never wavered; Beth is as excited today as the first day that she stood in that warehouse on her honeymoon. She continues to learn, travel and seek out more knowledge that in her words would take two lifetimes to complete.
"Tea is so much more than a beverage to quench thirst, it soothes the soul and nurtures the spirit one sip at a time," Beth

Reviews note iPad mini has smaller color gamut than iPad Air, Nexus 7
updated 04:01 pm EST, Mon November 18, 2013
Unlikely to bother most Mini buyers
The Retina iPad mini has a narrower color gamut next to tablets like the Nexus 7, and even the iPad Air, a number of reviewers are observing. Gamut refers to the range of colors a display can handle. In tests the Retina Mini appears to have the same gamut as its non-Retina predecessor -- about 62-63 percent -- versus the 100 percent color accuracy on full-sized Retina iPads. Even less expensive tablets such as the Nexus 7 and Kindle Fire HDX 7 are capable of broader colors than the Mini, DisplayMate points out.
The difference is unlikely to affect most potential Mini buyers, since a display can still look attractive without a large gamut. It suggests, however, that Apple may be continuing to cut corners with the Mini. The tablet otherwise shares the same resolution as the iPad Air, as well as the same processor; that resolution in fact gives the Mini a higher pixel density than the Air.

Our editor gives their expert view
Isocyanate overview Transcript
Toluene diisocyanate or TDI and methylene di-p-phenylene isocyate or MDI are the most common types of aromatic isocyanates. They are used mainly in the production of flexible and rigid polyurethane or PU foams.
Minor applications include coatings and adhesives. Most TDI output goes into the furniture and automotive sectors, and most MDI into construction. So demand for isocyanates is closely linked with economic performances.
Other factors which impact the price of isocyanates are the supply and feedstock values such as benzene and toluene which are in turn heavily dependent on crude futures pricing. China is the main user of TDI and MDI in Asia.
It has the largest manufacturing base due to a continuous increase in local demand and is the leading exporter for finished goods. Both TDI and MDI are greatly dependent on spot trades which are primarily driven by traders and producers.

Market overview
Isocyanates: Market overview
Updated to Q4 2015
In the US, MDI prices will be trending down for the fourth quarter of 2015, driven by lower-priced benzene and ample MDI supply. After the peak summer season, MDI demand from the construction sector will be slowing as the weather cools. Fourth-quarter TDI prices will also be coming down on long supply.
Asian TDI import prices may trend stable-to-soft in Q4 amid persistently poor downstream offtake. Prices are expected to stay suppressed for the rest of the year despite that several Chinese local plants have been shut end-July/early August for turnarounds. Meanwhile, Asian MDI prices may be near the bottom as producers' margins are tightly squeezed. The impending maintenance shutdown at a major eastern China facility at the year-end may limit prices from slipping further.
While price discussions are in the early stages, European crude MDI and TDI October contract prices are both expected to show some decreases. Relatively strong demand for both products - and balanced markets - means the downward pressure exerted by significant feedstock price reductions is likely to be mitigated to some extent. Healthy requirements for MDI and TDI are anticipated to persist for the coming weeks.

Isocyanates Methodology
About Isocyanates
MDI: Pure methyl diphenyl diisocyanate (MDI) occurs as white to pale yellow crystals or flakes with a slightly musty odour. It is soluble in acetone, benzene, kerosene and nitrobenzene. It reacts readily with water to form insoluble polyureas and may polymerise under the influence of temperatures above 204oC.
MDI is made available both in pure form and as a mixture of MDI, the dimer and trimer. Mixed MDIs is referred to as polymeric isocyanates or PMDI.
MDI is used mainly in polyurethane (PU) foams. Rigid foams are mostly used in construction, refrigeration, packaging and insulation. Flexible foams are used in furniture, bedding and transportation. MDI is also used to make binders, elastomers, adhesives, sealants and coatings.
TDI: The main outlet for toluene diisocyanate (TDI) is in the manufacture of polyurethane (PU) flexible foams used in upholstery, mattresses and automotive seats. This is achieved by reacting the TDI with a polyol to produce the foam. Smaller uses for TDI include polyurethane elastomers and coatings.
TDI occurs as colourless to pale yellow liquid or crystals with a pungent odour. All isocyanates are hazardous and must be handled with care. Skin contact must be avoided, as redness, blistering and possible sensitisation can result.

Current Wife Ready for Penetration
I receive photo submissions from time-to-time where there are just not enough pics to fill a post - usually one to three photos. I hold on to them anyway, because some of them are really good & I'm always trying to find a way to fit them in somewhere. So directly below is a group of links to some other FREE sites where you can find all kinds of FREE amateur and homemade porn. Below that we have another 'mini' submission from Seth's current wife waiting to be penetrated. Thanks and enjoy!!

This is Seth's current wife, Lindsey, and this is another one of those awesome submissions where she gets-off thinking about all the men (and some women) fantasizing and touching themselves thinking about a roll in the hay with her. He says that she already is a very horny and turning-on strangers makes her sopping wet. According to Seth, at the time of them sending these pics to us she was busy using her pink little friend just to get some relief. All I can say is that I would gladly replace her little friend. Thanks, Seth & Lindsey!

NEW BRUNSWICK — Rutgers Universitys Board of Governors has approved a tuition increase for the upcoming school year.
The board OKd a budget proposal Thursday that contains increases in tuition, fees, and room and board. Tuition alone will increase 3.5 percent and room and board will rise 1.5 percent.
Budget officials said its necessary to fund mandatory salary increases and seed money for projects.
Students testified college tuition already is too high and many told stories of having to drop out because they couldnt afford classes. As the board voted on the resolution to increase tuition, students began shouting at the board, drowning out the vote.
Rutgers approved a 2½ percent tuition increase last year. It put tuition and fees for the average Rutgers student at $13,073.

The Washington Post Co.
The Washington Post Co.'s revenues dropped 5 percent in the second quarter compared to the same period in 2011, but that was tempered by a big gain in political ad revenue in the company's broadcast division. The company posted a bigger profit in the second quarter compared to the year before, but not when you exclude earnings from operations that it sold off earlier this year.
The Post's newspaper division lost money. Print advertising revenue continues to decline; it's down 15 percent compared to the second quarter of 2011. Print circulation is down, too: 9.3 percent for daily and 6.1 percent for Sunday for the first six months of 2012 compared to 2011.
But the company's online publishing revenues are up by 8 percent compared to the same quarter in 2011. That's much better than the first quarter, when digital revenue had dropped along with print. The second-quarter increase was driven by a 14 percent increase in online display advertising and offset slightly by a 2 percent drop in online classified revenue.
The cable TV division's revenue rose 2 percent, mostly from Internet and telephone service. The company's cable and broadcast divisions remain highly profitable, more than covering losses in publishing.
Revenue at the Post Co.'s education division, by far the largest, dropped 9 percent, but it still turned a profit.

SHOW LOW, Ariz. (January 3, 2013)--Two teenagers spent two frigid hours hanging onto a dead tree after ice on a lake began to crack, authorities in the eastern Arizona community of Show Low said.
Show Low Fire District Capt. Brent Mix said the teens were rescued late Wednesday.
A third teenager stayed on the snow-covered bank of Fool Hollow Lake and called for help after the other two got stuck.
The rescued teens were transported to a hospital for treatment of what Mix described as mild hypothermia.
A total of 25 fire and other emergency personnel from several agencies responded.

The U.S. Housing Crisis: Where are home loans underwater?
With U.S. home values falling 9.5% since their peak in 2007, many homeowners are now underwater on their mortgages, meaning they owe more than their home is worth. Search our interactive map to discover what percentage of homes in your county or ZIP code are in negative equity, based on Zillow's third quarter 2014 data.
About the map: Negative equity is calculated by matching the estimated value of a home to all outstanding mortgage debt and lines of credit associated with the home, including home equity lines of credit and home equity loans, supplied by TransUnion, a global leader in credit and information management. All personally identifying information ("PII") is removed from the data by TransUnion before delivery to Zillow. The counties and ZIP codes in the highest percentiles (1st, 5th, 10th and 20th percentiles) of negative equity are marked with a badge. Negative equity is calculated for owner-occupied homes with mortgages for more than 870 metros, 2,400 counties, and 23,000 ZIP codes. This map will be updated quarterly. Contact firstname.lastname@example.com for additional data points and information including negative equity by state, metro, county, and ZIP code, as well as national data.
About the Zillow Negative Report: The Zillow Negative Equity Report is produced on a quarterly basis and captures the percent of homeowners who owe more on their mortgage than their home is worth from the national level down to the ZIP code level. Negative equity is commonly referred to as being underwater. The report also covers the delinquency rates of underwater mortgagees and the amount of equity among all mortgage holders.
Zillow Q3 2014 Negative Equity Report Summary: According to the latest Zillow Negative Equity Report, the national negative equity rate fell to 16.9 percent in the first quarter. This represents approximately 8.7 million homeowners nationwide. With the pace of home value appreciation slowing, the pace of negative equity improvement will also slow. Zillow currently predicts that the negative equity rate will fall to 15.2 percent by the end of the third quarter of 2015. The "effective" negative equity rate, which includes those homeowners with a mortgage with 20 percent or less equity in their homes, was 35 percent in the third quarter.

Ireland: a country known for its beer, whiskey, potatoes and… retail display accent LED lighting??
It is so.
Two weeks ago I joined a dozen or so others representing different areas of the U.S. supermarket industry in Cork, Ireland, to check out Nualight, an LED lighting company that specializes in accent lighting for food retail. Over the course of three days we learned about its products, checked out its facilities and, with a beer in hand, further discussed the company's strategy for winning over the U.S. market.
We spent the first full day at Nualight's headquarters learning about the science and ambition behind the lighting technologies, including three new innovations the company debuted the following week at the EuroShop Global Retail Trade Fair in Düsseldorf Germany. Following the presentations, we toured the facilities, including their testing room where we saw the lighting in action in an array of refrigerated cases with mock product.
While the presentations had left me intrigued to see the lights in action, the testing room left me intrigued to see them in action in an actual supermarket. Lucky for me, the company uses the local Supervalu, a large supermarket chain in Ireland, as a demo store where it tests the impact of its latest innovations — and we were on our way to see it.
Let me take a second to reflect back on a prior experience in my life. When I was in college I called a number during my spring break that I found on a job advert on campus. The man I spoke to requested I come in to learn more that evening.
I was hesitant at the lack of information, but I showed up anyway, along with two dozen others. Without any explanation, the company's lead man whipped out a set of knives and over the next twenty minutes he proceeded to share insight into the knive's technology and demonstrate their strength, versatility and very sleek ability to, well, cut things.
My jaw dropped, and when I looked around everyone else held the same expression. I understood their process instantly — if you had told me it was a job selling knives I'd have never showed up. But after witnessing the effectiveness of the product and trying them out myself, I knew I'd have no problem selling them because I believed in them.
Walking into Supervalu in Grange, Ireland, brought me back to that moment. I took one look at the produce department and I wanted to, well, buy and eat all the fruit. The color was that impressive. Nualight intentionally maintains fluorescent lighting on certain cases and varies the color of their LED lighting so they can compare and contrast, as well as track the increase in sales.
According to Paul Kelly, the vice president of business development, one refrigerated case alone yielded a 26 percent increase in sales, and the meat department, which was shining bright under Nualight's new Vivace high CRI lighting, a design that uses color-boosters to achieve a white light that highlights the natural redness of meat, had enjoyed a 19 percent increase in sales.
The company initially focused on the produce, meat and deli departments and refrigerator and freezer cases, but they are also playing with them in the health and beauty care department — and quite successfully.
Seeing the lights in action, I was sold. If I was one of the supermarket procurement managers on the trip who wasn't already using the lights — some of the event's participants have already "seen the light" and are using Nualight's products — I'd have signed a purchase order that night, on dinner napkin if need be.
Many times people underestimate the impact of seeing something in person, boring you with facts and figures that lack an emotional connection. While knowing you could save up to 30 percent on energy costs by installing LED lighting, according to company officials, is very valuable information, I am a hands-on type of person, and am grateful for the opportunity to see Nualight's product in action as well as understand their behind-the-scenes production.
If I ever have the chance to consult for the retail sector, I would happily recommend the Irish company. After all, to this day, anyone who comes over for dinner sits through my knife presentation. (Seriously, you should see them cut through one of the bright red juicy tomatoes I bought at the Supervalu.)

Vizio adds Google-based Apple TV rival, CinemaWide TVs, more
updated 11:30 am EST, Tue January 10, 2012
Vizio details 2012 TV and Stream Player roadmap
Vizio on Tuesday expanded its entire TV-focused strategy for 2012 by starting with its own equivalent to an Apple TV. The VAP430 Stream Player is dedicated solely to bringing Google TV 2.0 to sets that don't already have it. It links to the TV through HDMI, with a pass-through for other devices, and can share media on the local network through Wi-Fi and DLNA.
The Stream Player ships with a dual-sided remote that carriers a QWERTY keyboard. Pre-orders aren't expected to start until the spring for the device, however, which puts its release in mid-year.
Also coming in support of the Android-based platform are the VBR430 Blu-ray player, which adds its namesake optical player to the equation, as well as 47-, 55-, and 65-inch VIA Internet Plus TV sets that build Google TV inside. Vizio promises the sets themselves have contrast ratios of at least 1,000,000:1, but isn't specific on release details.
A newly shipping XCV100 Video Camera is available to give not just Vizio's own TVs but any Skype-capable device, including computers and mobile hardware, two-way video calls. VIA Internet Apps-equipped TVs can use it for Skype. Four microphones let the HD-capable camera pick up audio as far away as 16 feet.
A VHT215 2.1 Sound Bar includes a wireless subwoofer and upgrades Vizio's core, compact audio system, while a VSD210 High Definition Audio Dock supports every iOS device up to iPads. Both are available today for unmentioned prices.
Among Vizio's core TV line, it plans to headline them with the CinemaWide line. The sets are reportedly the first in the US to ship with a 21:9, theater-level aspect ratio and will display supporting movies at the native 2560x1080p encoding instead of with black bars. The initial roster includes the 50-inch XVT3D500CM, 58-inch XVT3D580CM, and 71-inch XVT3D710CM. All can display 3D using four pairs of bundled passive glasses, have a minimum 1,000,000:1 contrast, and 802.11n Wi-Fi. The smaller two sets use 120Hz refresh rates, while the 71-inch line leader updates at 240Hz. None yet has a definitive ship date or price.
More conventional viewing is served by newly-shipping, traditional ratio TVs. The E series ranges from 32 to 65 inches and still carries Wi-Fi, Vizio's in-house interface, and two sets of passive 3D glasses. Moving to the M or R series gets more advanced LED backlighting and includes four pairs of glasses.
The E series is shipping now for prices between $550 and $850, with prices and ship dates for the M and R yet to come.
Every non-Google TV now has access to the Yahoo Connected TV store and can get access to custom apps from CBS, Showtime, and other networks.

The Petaluma City Council unanimously voted Monday to broaden citywide restrictions on smoking to include private living spaces, medical marijuana and electronic cigarettes.
Most restrictions will take effect in a month in public places, such as bus stops, outdoor dining areas, city parking lots and commercial sidewalks.
The restrictions covering private living quarters will be phased in. In existing apartments, duplexes and condos — any housing with at least one shared wall — smoking will be prohibited beginning Dec. 16 to allow for leases to expire and to be changed. New multi-family housing units must be smoke-free by July 16.
Monday's action was a second-reading of the ordinance, usually capped by a pro forma vote with little dialogue.
But questions had been raised since last month's initial discussion, mostly about the inclusion of electronic cigarettes. No objections to regulating medical marijuana use were raised at either meeting.

I'm new to programing and am attempting to learn
. I've been using a book by K.N.King. "Java programing: From the beginning" is an excellent book that concentrates on the fundamentals of the language. That being said I also have to say that I'm spending a lot of my time feeling overwhelmed. I know that the curve is steep for one who dosen't have some kind of programing experence and that it will eventually get easier. But to hear from some other beginners going through the same thing might raise my spirits a little. Feel free to weigh in if you are a current or former beginner.

I remember wading through the opening chapters of my first java book and thinking, "Does this lady know that she doesn't make any sense?" I recently reread portions of that book and thought to myself, "This is a really well written treatment of java!" I guess it gets easier to understand, but in my case, it took a while for the concepts to penetrate my thick head!

I would strongly recommend that you enroll in a Java course at a decent school. I just took my first programming job in July after 5 months of evening and weekend classes. That would never have happened if it was just me and a book.
The other benefit is that when you're done, you can say more than "I know some Java." You can say "I've studied Java for __ months at ____ school." When you're just getting in, that can make a difference.
That's not just my own idea. That's how I was advised when I contacted a technical recruiter a year ago and asked a similar question to the one you're asking.
Good luck!

My programming experience in procedural languages, not OOP. In September I decided to "teach myself" Java. Since then I've urchased six different Java books (and use them all). I'm making progress but have pretty much concluded that I'm still going to take a class in Java programming starting in January. The big problem with trying to use books alone is that you really can't get feedback on your programming skills. Some books have exercises and provide the solutions...those are helpful, but not enough for me.
Enter JavaRanch Cattle Drive.
The Cattle Drive provides a great way to get feedback on programming for the very beginning Java programmer. Unfortunately it doesn't get into the depths of the language. Maybe some day it will. In the meantime, the forums, like this one, allow me to pick up little bits and pieces of the language, and to
my knowledge of what I've learned so far.
Bottom line from my perspective: take a formal class if you're a beginner. You might learn some of the language from books alone, but there's nothing like the interaction with an instructor. Good luck!

Hi Derek,
I know that overwhelming feeling.My first serious tryst with Java began only 3 months ago.Yesterday I wrote the
exam and cleared it with 93%.Things definitely get better.You should join a good Java training program.It really helps when you're starting off...especially when you're new to OOP. Fortunately for me I was trained by the company i work for.
Get yourself a copy of 'Thinking in Java' by Bruce Eckel.I have read the book thrice so far and every time the picture gets a little clearer.
Feel free to post messages here about your problems.Somebody is bound to help you.I picked up a lot from this discussion forum.

Well Thank you all for the encouraging words. I've been toying with the idea of taking a class but have some problems with the "classes" offered by most tech firms. Can anyone recommend a reputable class or firm, hopefully located in the New York City area?
Better yet can anyone tell me what to look for in a potential firm?
And for at least the next few months the course is not possible so has anyone here learned JAVA from scratch on there own? I'm considering trying to get the basics down and then taking classes for some more advanced topics. Is this feasiable or based on my lack of programing expereince would the reverse be better?
Finally, at the bookstore today a found a book that is an intro to programing. It teaches Qbasic. Someone mentioned a while back that maybe it would help to learn an "easier" language and work up from there. While QBasic might not be where I need to start maybe Smalltalk or some other flavor of OOP would be easier than JAVA right off the bat. It seems like a lot of unnessary work to me, but I was wondering how those of you who have been down this road feel about the suggestion. Either way thanks for the encouragment all the same.

I think the only way to really learn is to write programs.
If you complete a project of substance, and you can show this to a potential employer, it will say more about your ability than anything else.
If you are enrolled in a class you will meet other people in the same boat as yourself. You will help and encourage one another. It is much more enjoyable than studying on your own, and it's good practice for the real world.

Hi Derek,
I started out learning C from scratch, basically from books with a little help from some friends a few years ago. I moved on to Java earlier this year and went on some training courses, my company's version of Sun's Java courses. And I think whatever language you learn first is difficult. I also found the courses very useful - I'd been playing about with Java for a few months when I took them - CBTs, books, a bit of coding - but it was good to have someone really clued up to answer questions, and other people to work with and deadlines to meet, specific things to achieve.
I'd be tempted to stick with Java. Not that I'm biased! I have to learn Smalltalk next year and I've not found the same kind of support / info out there on the net for the learner. It's easy to find test questions/ code examples/ people to ask questions of when you're learning Java and that's a big help.
And I agree with Siobhan - coding is absolutely the best way to learn , particularly writing code that doesn't work to begin with!
Good luck!

Actually I learned Java on my own with the help of the RHE book and Java in a Nutshell. I have 15 years coding experience - but in non OOPs languages (a BIG difference).
While I did get my SCJP2 in August I would NOT recommend it as the way to go. I was just frustrated cuz I was waitlisted for the classes that my company offered for over a year- so I just plowed ahead. I ended up taking the certification prep class and distributed java AFTER I passed the exam (the point being that you can pass the exam without actually being very good at programming in Java, and my desired end is to be good at it).
Actually I didn't discover this site either until after I passed the exam. Having this "mentoring" help sure would have made life easier. I guess I just do things backwards

Again, thank you all for the info. It seems as if classes are the way to go, however my circumstances will not permit this to happen for a while. In the meantime I will continue to write some very bad code
I think that having a reason to write the code,an objective will also help. The biggest problem i'm having is learning the terminology and getting to know it in the proper context. Trying to figure out why things must be the way they are for the compiler is what i'm striving to learn.
Like Mark Twain said "Education consists mainly in what we have unlearned"

I did learn Java, or at least enough Java to get by, on my own. It was not exactly from "scratch" though since I had been working in C++ for 7 years. My primary resources for this were Java in a Nutshell and Thinking in Java.
The way I really learned Java, though, was by writing code. I started out doing it at night at home and then got a job where I was writing Java full-time.
If you really want to take a class I'd check into local community colleges and universities. You'll probably learn more and it will cost less than a class from a training company. If this isn't possible try doing the exercises in Thinking in Java and participating in the Cattle Drive here at Java Ranch.
Keep pushing forward!
The only reason for time is so that everything doesn't happen all at once.

If you're looking for some small programs to write to get in some practice why not join the Cattle Drive here at Javaranch! If you send in your assignments you'll be given some helpful feedback too!!

I suggest that you stick with Java as well. I think if you attempt to learn another language and then transfer it over to Java you will just have to unlearn things and relearn them. It takes a while to get a grasp if you are working on your own with books and tutorials but it all begins coming together...time and effort are the keys!
Wishing you the best!

Well if you are looking for something you can take at home, then I suggest a videotape class. I am currently taking one through Southern Methodist University in Dallas, TX, but NTU also offers the same course, so that may be something you can look into. I must warn you, you have to be committed to learn a programming language by video. I was not very committed due to things that have happen in my life this semester and I have fallen behind and have not learned very much, but for a committed person it should work. Good luck.

I'm sorry to keep this thread going forever, but I must share what happened to me this morning.
After our discussion here I contacted a techinical training school not to far from my home and figured i'd at least meet them and see what they offered. The class that the offered was nothing more than a cd that they put into a workstation and had you work on in a room with 9 other people who are doing the same. When I expresed my suprise at there being no "instruction", the salesman told me that this is how most places are doing it due to a severe lack of programers. Is this true? Is this what I can expect from other such places? Do I need to limit myself to the courses that Sun gives? Most of you have been down this road before, what do you think?
Thanks Again

Well, I have the benefit of corporate education. They have experienced programmers teaching - but they teach right out of the Sun Education material.
The company also offers CBT classes - but after taking several of those I was SOOOOOO frustrated with the errors and poor test questions that I read the book instead.
I agree. Here's the link:
