WALLA WALLA — An influential engine of the civil rights movement will visit Walla Walla this month as part of Whitman College's commemoration of Martin Luther King Jr. Day.
Although she was never a household name in the civil rights movement of the 1950s and '60s to end segregation, racially targeted voting laws and bring equal rights to minorities, Diane Nash led some of the movement's most influential and successful protests.
Among them were the Nashville, Tenn., lunch counter sit-ins and her participation in the Freedom Riders, a group of students and activists who traveled through an often hostile South to promote desegregation.
Nash also co-founded the Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee and served on a national committee that helped bring about the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
Her relative anonymity was one of the things Whitman found interesting, said Matt Ozuna, the college's interim director for Intercultural Programs and Services.
"Diane Nash — (she's) kind of Dr. King and Rosa Parks," he said. "Not only is she one of the few Civil Rights leaders left from the 1960s, but she's one of the ones that might not be in all the history books."
Nash will be on campus for two days. On Jan. 29 she will give a closed Nonviolent Resistance and Campaigning workshop to students from area colleges. On Jan. 30 at 7 p.m. she will give a public lecture about her experiences in the Civil Rights Movement.
"This is very special for us," Ozuna said of Nash doing a lecture and a workshop. Ozuna said a student demonstration against racism and sexism on campus in November helped persuade Nash to do both events.
"Usually she does one or the other," Ozuna said, "but for her to do both in one visit is very gracious."
Preceding Nash's visit, the college will hold a march and candlelight vigil at 4 p.m. Monday, the federal holiday honoring the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., and a screening of the documentary "Freedom Riders" on Thursday. Several local organizations also will host community service projects.
The march begins at Whitman's Reid Campus Center and goes to the intersection of First Avenue and Main Street, where a candlelight vigil will be held before marchers return to Reid.
Ozuna said between 200 and 300 marchers turned up last year, and he hopes for similar numbers this year.
"We want to encourage other Walla Walla community members to attend, as well," Ozuna said. "All Walla Walla community members, regardless of background or belief, they're all welcome."
Walla Walla University also will hold several events Monday in honor of the slain civil rights leader. A public screening of "White Like Me," a film about white privilege and modern racism will be held at 7 p.m. in Village Hall. The Seventh-day Adventist university also will hold a special Martin Luther King Jr. Day service at 11 a.m.
"It's the only federal holiday in which community service is dedicated," Ozuna said. "It's more than the civil rights movements for African-Americans; it's about rights for all Americans ...
"It's about coming together as a community and giving back to the 'beloved community,' Dr. King's 'beloved community,' and those are the same values that we have at Whitman."

VERGENNES — The current workforce at Goodrich Corp.'s Vergennes plant stands at 780, about 20 fewer than a year ago. But if the company's local hiring plans work out, more workers will soon punch in and out on Panton Road than did in mid-2009, and the workforce could return to where it stood before layoffs began early last year.
Sol Mirelez, marketing communications manager of Goodrich's Sensors and Integrated Systems division — which includes the Vergennes plant — said the company is now advertising for more help there.

Spring is here; birds are chirping, days are getting warmer and, unfortunately, bugs are starting to fly and crawl around.
Pets can get infested with "bugs," better known as external parasites, and bring them into your house to share with you. Some of these parasites are visible to the naked eye while others need to be seen under a microscope. Some of them will get off of your pet and onto you or in the environment while others stay on the host animal. All of them cause varying degrees of problems for your pet and you, but all of them need to be exterminated.
The first of these parasites falls into the category of fleas, under which there are three species. The most common flea is Ctenocephalides felis, which is visible to the naked eye and will get off the host and into the environment or on to another host like the human. The life cycle of this flea is complex, making it difficult to get rid of. The adult flea feeds on blood of the host, lays eggs and passes feces in the hair. The eggs and feces can stay on the host or fall off it; the eggs hatch into larvae about four days later. The larva feeds on the flea feces and will go through two molts before pupating. Adults then come out of the cocoon after three to four weeks. These fleas can cause severe allergic reactions to dogs, cats, or humans, what is known as flea bite dermatitis.
Echidnophaga gallinacean, the "sticktight flea", is common on poultry but can get on pets and humans. These can be treated by treating the animal only. Finally, there is Xenopsylla cheopsis, which prefers rats and prairie dogs as the host. These fleas are commonly associated with the spread of plague, Yersinia pestis.
Mites are microscopic parasites that can live on the skin of the host or burrow under the dermis, depending on the particular mite. Sarcoptis scabei burrows under the skin causing severe itching, and it can cause secondary bacterial infections. The mite can live its complete life on one host or it can be spread to another host. Sarcoptic mange can infect pets or people, and skin scrapings are used to diagnose them. Sometimes the mite is hard to find on the scrapings, so the infected animal is treated with dips.
Demodex canis are mites that are normal skin inhabitants of a dog's hair follicles. This mite usually will only cause problems in young animals or those with suppressed immune systems. It is not contagious to other animals or humans, but the infected animal will need treatment for the mites as well as the secondary health issue.
Cheyletiella yasguri is also known as "walking dandruff"; it is a mite that walks about on its host. It can only survive off the host for very short periods of time. Treatment for this mite is topical mitecide.
Pneumonyssoides Caninum is a mite that lives in the sinuses of dogs, causing chronic sneezing and nose bleeding. Treatment is with oral or injectable miticide medications.
Notoedres cati is a mite that lives on the head and outer ears of cats and primarily causes hair loss.
Otodectes cynotis is the common ear mite of dogs and cats. This mite can move to other pets or spend the entire life cycle on one host. The ears can become very painful with intense itching, and secondary infections are common. Treatment is usually with topical mitecides.
Psoroptes cuniculi is an ear mite found primarily in rabbits, but can be found on dogs or cats.
There are two types of lice that can be found on dogs, one is bloodsucking (Linognathus setosus) and the other is a chewing louse (Trichodectes canis). Treatment for both is topical pyrethrethins. Both can get on humans.
Ticks are the final external parasite that can infect animals as well as humans. The Ixodes species of tick is responsible for the spread of Lyme disease, and Ehrlichia is a blood borne disease. Extermination involves treating the pet as well as the environment.
Rhipicephalus sanguineus or "brown dog tick" cannot survive outside in cold climates, but they can survive in a home. These ticks also can spread Ehrilichia and Babesia (another blood borne disease). Treatment for these is topical as well as treating the home.
Dermacentor variabillis is a tick responsible for carrying Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, tularaemia and tick paralysis. All of these diseases can be fatal, so using a good tick preventative medicine is a good idea. This tick is generally found in the eastern half of the United States and on the west coast and can have many hosts, including humans.
There are many topical preventatives available to keep your pet from becoming infested with external parasites and thereby preventing spread to the human household.

I'm at our annual Cisco Live Europe conference in Milan this week – it's a great event and a great opportunity to introduce new innovations to customers. In fact, today we announced the latest release of our cloud management software solution: Cisco Intelligent Automation for Cloud (Cisco IAC) version 4.0.
I recently wrote about the new Forrester Private Cloud Wave, and how Cisco was ranked in the top three overall and #1 in strategy. Our high marks in strategy in that report were based in large part on the roadmap and strategic vision that is being delivered through this new cloud management release – together with the latest release of Cisco UCS Director for infrastructure management.
Cisco Intelligent Automation for Cloud is a cloud management platform designed for enterprise and public sector IT organizations building private and hybrid clouds, as well as service providers deploying public or virtual private cloud services. This is the fourth major release for Cisco IAC – and it's a big one.
With the new 4.0 release, Cisco is breaking ground by providing both the out-of-the-box functionality that our customers are asking for and the flexibility that we know they need as they extend their cloud deployments beyond basic IaaS.

Mean Street's Evan Newmark sits down with former judge Richard Holwell, who presided over the Raj Rajaratnam insider trading trial and is launching his own law firm.
If you're looking for further confirmation that nothing ever really changes on Wall Street, check out the just-released research on LinkedIn Corp. It's the old Wall Street black magic circa 1999. We have four firms that underwrote theLinkedIn IPO at $45 a share now initiating coverage with buy notes and price targets of between $85 and $92. That's a 100% markup, but it's actually even bigger than that. LinkedIn launched its IPO roadshow with a price range in the low $30s. That means Wall Street reached into its hat and pulled out a LinkedIn now worth 200% more — from a $3 billion valuation to $9 billion in just three months. Abracadabra!
"In the end, the folks I hear from in letters or meet when I travel across the country – they aren't asking for much. They're just looking for a job that covers their bills. They're just looking for a little financial security. They want to know that if they work hard and live within their means, everything will be all right. They'll be able to get ahead, and give their kids a better life. That's the dream each of us has for ourselves and our families."
– President Obama's weekly radio address, June 11, 2011
At this point, it's pretty amazing that President Obama can serve up these sugary homilies with a straight face.
Our economy is choking on over $14 trillion of debt brought on by millions of middle-class Americans "not asking for much," just their Medicare, Social Security and unemployment checks.
But the president, now seeking re-election, still can't bring himself to level with his citizenry.
The truth? Most Americans want each and every entitlement society can offer. They don't want "to live within their means." They want more than just a "little financial security."
And, as long as this culture of entitlement pervades our society, there is no way everything will be all right….
There is only one thing that stands in the way of a successful pricing later today of LinkedIn's IPO – and that's common sense. But tonight's IPO buyers need not worry. Common sense generally has little to do with the IPO market – and absolutely nothing to do with the LinkedIn IPO. After all, what is the sense in putting a $4.3 billion valuation on a company with slowing revenue growth and zero projected profits for 2011 or in paying $43.50 for a share that post-IPO will have a tangible book value of just of $3.38, or one-thirteenth what you just paid. Of course, there isn't much sense. But that doesn't matter. Here's what does: The belief that someone out there will pay even more for the shares.
Do you ever wonder what makes you – you? I do.
I was chewing that over as I passed through the claustrophobic, rat-nibbled dreariness of New York's Penn Station just the other night.
It is a familiar place, as dark and depressing as ever. In the late 1970s and early 80s, I spent too much time at Penn Station waiting for trains back home to central Long Island.
Those waits were enough to convince me that if I ever became just another of New York's middle-aged suburban commuters, I'd end up an unhappy man.
That's why I studied Russian and Soviet history, spent a dozen years in London, Moscow and Paris and today live comfortably on Manhattan's Upper West Side.
Can the trajectory of my 25 years as an adult be reduced to so simple and obvious a motivation?
It's come to this. I'm actually hoping for something really bad to happen.
I want the U.S. to default on its debt – and soon.
I want the Republicans to shut down the government, Moody's to downgrade our debt and China and Japan to stop buying Treasurys.
I want Washington's armies of bureaucrats, clerks and consultants to go unpaid, and for America's senior citizens to be handed worthless I.O.U. notes instead of Social Security checks.
Even better, let them all get turned away from their appointments at podiatrists and hip specialists.
Perhaps then and maybe only then will America wake up and do something about its coming fiscal disaster.
Dear Mr. President,
Congratulations. It took a couple of months in office, but you finally got something right. GM and Chrysler are bankrupt, after all.
Not that it took any particular genius to see it. But it did take some gumption for you to come out and say it.
Now prepare yourself for your next feat, the reinvention of Detroit. And here are some words of advice: Do not let Detroit destroy your Presidency. It will, if you let it.
Of course, the bankruptcies of GM and Chrysler are a no-win situation for you.
You believe in compromise. You believe in shared sacrifice. And you believe in the essential goodness of man.
So, obviously you've never been through a huge, messy bankruptcy. And now you're knee-deep in two of them.

The Smashing Pumpkins: The Great Pumpkin
The Smashing Pumpkins: The Great Pumpkin
GW TheFutureEmbrace depicts what you have described as the "beautiful coldness" in the music of Joy Division, Echo and the Bunnymen and David Bowie's Low. Can you elaborate further on what you mean?
CORGAN There is a warmth to the metal of Black Sabbath. Tony Iommi achieved a massively heavy sound that was also inviting. In contrast, Joy Division had a colder sound, even though they were a metal band influenced by Black Sabbath. Space and repetition were critical components in what they did, but there is a groove in the mechanical nature of it. There is a way to achieve warmth over what is generally conceived as a cold feeling, and that is appealing to me.
GW Did you use a specific guitar for most of this record?
CORGAN Yes. Reverend made me a custom C-scale instrument, which means that it has a longer scale and sounds two whole steps lower without tuning down. I also used a one-of-akind Fender Jaguar that I bought in New York, and I also used a Gibson 335 from the Seventies.
GW You use a very distressed, distorted guitar sound in the echoed guitar solo on "To Love Somebody" and on "Walking Shade."
CORGAN Yes, extremely distressed! If you remove the guitar track, the songs sound much smaller; the guitar creates the impression of size. It may seem to be mostly synths and effects, but the tracks are really very guitar-driven.
GW I said earlier that "Dia" reminds me of "Perfect," but in fact I hear similarities to Adore all over the new CD.
CORGAN Adore was the most "solo" of the Pumpkins albums, in terms of what I was trying to accomplish and the participation of the other band members on the songs and the sound of the record, overall. At the time, Darcy was in fact very upset; she felt I should have released it as a solo album.
GW The Adore track "For Martha," dedicated to your mother, is thick with atmosphere in a way that is akin to the sound of your solo album.
CORGAN Yeah, I see what you mean. For me, going into this territory reinvigorates my approach to heavier rock music. Metal was my favorite music when I was a kid, but I was bored with it by the time I was 17. The music of the Cure is what really got me into playing the guitar. So I brought the heavier rock stuff into the mix afterward, and I always go back to that approach in order to find who I am.
Sometimes I turn on the radio and hear all these different guys doing my trip, and I think, Well, what am I supposed to do? All my moves have been copied and I get no credit whatsoever from any of these new bands.
GW It's been 10 years since the release of Mellon Collie, and, as you say, its influence is obvious in the music of many new emo-rock bands, both sonically and lyrically. A perfect example is "1979," which was a huge hit.
CORGAN You can still hear the influence of that track. I was bitter about it for a while because I felt we had been uncredited, simply because every new band over the last 10 years would claim Nirvana as their prime influence. That was silly to me, because Butch Vig, who worked with us on Gish, took our sound and brought it to Nirvana for Nevermind, and the truth is that sound originates with the Smashing Pumpkins. So for years I felt the credit hadn't been given to us.
But now there's a whole new generation of bands that are crediting us, because it's not a political issue anymore. They grew up on the Pumpkins, Zeppelin and Nirvana, and these are the bands that inspired them to play. At the end of the day, it's turned out to be fine and wonderful. I took what I could from my heroes—Hendrix, Blackmore, Iommi—and I am standing on the shoulders of giants. I would never in my wildest dreams put myself in their league.

|Pulmonary bacterial communities in surgically resected noncystic fibrosis bronchiectasis lungs are similar to those in cystic fibrosis.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 22448327 Owner: NLM Status: PubMed-not-MEDLINE
|Background. Recurrent bacterial infections play a key role in the pathogenesis of bronchiectasis, but conventional microbiologic methods may fail to identify pathogens in many cases. We characterized and compared the pulmonary bacterial communities of cystic fibrosis (CF) and non-CF bronchiectasis patients using a culture-independent molecular approach. Methods. Bacterial 16S rRNA gene libraries were constructed from lung tissue of 10 non-CF bronchiectasis and 21 CF patients, followed by DNA sequencing of isolates from each library. Community characteristics were analyzed and compared between the two groups. Results. A wide range of bacterial diversity was detected in both groups, with between 1 and 21 bacterial taxa found in each patient. Pseudomonas was the most common genus in both groups, comprising 49% of sequences detected and dominating numerically in 13 patients. Although Pseudomonas appeared to be dominant more often in CF patients than in non-CF patients, analysis of entire bacterial communities did not identify significant differences between these two groups. Conclusions. Our data indicate significant diversity in the pulmonary bacterial community of both CF and non-CF bronchiectasis patients and suggest that this community is similar in surgically resected lungs of CF and non-CF bronchiectasis patients.

I'm looking to build up a Long Haul Trucker in the near future. I have a short daily commute (7 miles, round trip) and have been riding a fixed-gear Steamroller for the last five years. I've recently decided to go entirely car-free (I've been using the car on weekends -- one of my job entails twice-daily trips to various parts of the city, so I'd bike during the week and take the car on weekends, since I'd usually be doubling my milage then) and have been looking at my options as far as geared bikes go. I really don't want to deal with derailleurs, so I've mainly been looking at internal hubs.
I'd be building this bike up for my weekend commutes, as well as for days I want to ditch the messenger bag and get the weight off my back (hot summer days, days I have a heavy load, etc...). I'm also thinking about train-hopping to the 'burbs and riding out longer distances to visit family, orchards, botanical gardens, and whatnot. I want something versatile.
My questions are:
1. Is having an internally geared hub going to be a PITA as far as maintenance goes? I own a Raleigh Twenty, but I've yet to have to change the tire on the rear wheel, and only ride the bike on short rides (my commute if I don't have many visits after work, or around my neighborhood for grocery-getting and tooling around). How much more difficult is it to deal with?
2. I'm used to riding fixed. I'm used to standing up and soldiering on over hills. Are three, eight, or eleven gears going to be enough on longer, hillier rides? I've managed a few 25 mile club rides on my fixie, and hung in there. I think I'll be ok, but I've never left the Phila. city limits. I'm sure it get hillier (though I've - slowly - climbed the Manayunk wall).
3. I HATE drop bars - I've never been able to feel comfortable with them. Has anyone here done long rides with u-bars or mustache bars? Are they comfortable when you're carrying weight over distance?
4. Aside from the LHT, are there other frames (or complete bikes) I should look at? I'm looking for something that would be great for covering 25 miles with a load, but would also work for weekend trips or possibly camping, down the road.
Thank in advance for any suggestions.

BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) - LSU's athletic director says he wants the North Texas game to be played in Tiger Stadium on Saturday night as scheduled, but adds that other venues are being considered in case Hurricane Ike forces a change.
Joe Alleva said on Monday that LSU has contacted officials at Texas Stadium in Dallas, Independence Stadium in Shreveport, the Georgia Dome in Atlanta and the Superdome in New Orleans - although the Superdome would be unlikely if Ike heads for the state.
LSU was forced to postpone its game last Saturday against Troy after Hurricane Gustav damaged the stadium and much of the Baton Rouge area. Now, Louisiana is forecast as a possible landfall location for Ike. Alleva said the stadium is ready to host the game. He hopes to have a decision by Wednesday.

DOUGLAS COUNTY, Ga. -- A Chapel Hill High School student is recovering from burns she received during an Advanced Placement open house presentation Thursday night.
The student suffered burns on 25-percent of her upper body. She is expected to make a full recovery.
A surveillance camera caught the accident. The footage shows a flammable liquid used during the demonstration igniting.
Investigators say one teacher pushed the 12th grade student to the ground then another teacher grabbed a fire blanket to extinguish the flames.

Observation central
Random observations from the Texas Rangers' 12-3 win against Baltimore on Wednesday night at Rangers Ballpark in Arlington:
+ The Rangers won the season series from the Orioles at 5-2. No more games against Baltimore decreases the chances of an individual big homer game for the Rangers.
Adrian Beltre emerged from a power slump to hit three homers and drive in five runs in this win. Beltre did not have a homer in his previous 52 at-bats.
On May 8, Josh Hamilton had four homers in a 10-3 win at Baltimore.
According to home-run researcher David Vincent, only one other club had had a three- and a four-homer game against the same opponent. On July 10, 1936, Chuck Klein of the Philadelphia Phillies had four homers against Pittsburgh. On July 22, Johnny Moore hit three homers against the Pirates.
"Each of them helped us win a ballgame," manager Ron Washington said of Beltre and Hamilton. "It was a fantastic night."
+ Mitch Moreland, the No. 9 hitter, matched a career-high with five RBIs. How he did it was encouraging to the Rangers.
Batting with none out in the fourth, Moreland hit a grand slam off right-hander Tommy Hunter. In the fifth, Moreland added a sacrifice fly. Before this game, Moreland had often been impatient in prime RBI situations. He had scored the run only six times in 17 chances with a runner a third and fewer than two outs.
"My mindset was to not try to do too much," Moreland said of his at-bat in the fourth. "I just wanted to at least get a run in, a sac fly or whatever."
+ Leading 10-1 after four innings, left-hander Derek Holland cruised to his first win since July 25. Holland neutralized right-handed hitters with an effective changeup. The right-handed hitters went 1-for-19 against him.
Nick Markakis, a left-handed hitter, had three of the five hits that Holland gave up and drove in all three runs that he allowed in seven innings.
"I tip my hat to Markakis," Holland said. "He hit the ball.
"I'm making my piitches. It's a matter of keep plugging away, and things will change."
+ This may have been the last start for Orioles right-hander Tommy Hunter, the former Ranger. He faced eight hitters without getting an out in the fourth and allowed eight runs overall. Hunter dropped to 4-8 with a 5.95 ERA, and he leads the majors in homers allowed with 32 in 121 innings.
That breaks down to a ratio of 2.38 homers allowed per nine innings. Jose Lima set the record for qualifying pitchers, allowing 2.2 homers per nine innings with Houston in 2000.

New born day. Sky cries. Black clouds. Wet rain. Matted skin.
Unclean, yet clean again.
Look away. Watching some other part of you. Hold on. Don't run away.
I'm scared of tomorrow. Don't know who'll say the things i don't want to hear.
Scared of now. Scared.
Holding on. Cold windowsil. Hard wood. Thinking of other times. Different life.
Watching the night. As it eats away the light. Hold on. To nothingness.
When darkness comes to take it away. Giving a new twisted security.
Thinking. Thinking. Thinking. Maybe i should be lost.

PALISADE, Colo. - The Palisade boys and girls basketball teams will have to wait nearly four weeks before they get a chance at playing the Paonia Eagles on the hardwood.

The games have been rescheduled to be played on Friday, January 4. The girls tip off at 6:00 p.m. and the boys will start at 7:30 p.m. at Palisade High School.

Have a bunch of left over fabric? Show it off with this Fabric Scrap Photo Frame from I Love to Create. Made with a variety of fabric scraps, this home decor accent is great for showing off everything from a valued prize to an adorable couple on their wedding day! This is a simple project to make and you can have a lot of fun mixing and matching fabric and embellishments.
- Picture Frame
- Sparkle Collage Pauge
- Scrap Fabric
- Random Crafty Curios
- Scissors
- Liquid Fusion Glue
The first you need to do is make yourself strips of fabric. I had an old red and white western shirt that fit my color theme perfectly.
Next using sparkly Collage Pauge wrap your fabric strips around your frame. This will take several strips and you want to get them pretty saturated so that you can easily smooth down rough edges and bumps.
Once your Collage Pauge has dried completely you can embellish your frame any way your heart desires. I put together a prize ribbon and vintage Kanzashi (Japanese hair flower). Using Liquid Fusion glue attach your adornments to the frame.
- All that is left to do is fill your frame and set it out proudly!

shes banging, but this dudes dick is too long and skinny. she needs a shorter fatter one.
hell yeah guys ur totally right
That good but that nasty things to girls sum people slap people and make people done it
I want that asian on my dick
As a sex-obsessed Asian girl, I think Asa is an inspiration and role model to all Asian girls to explore their sexuality. Her performances always show how REAL she is...you can tell how into it she is, how much shes getting off on being fucked so hard. I'll probably never be in porn (at least not pro!) but Asa is my role model in being a sexy and promiscuous Asian girl!
If I were Pope I'd see to it that Asa was canonized St. Asa of Cum drinkers. I love watching her videos and jacking off. I only wish she were here to lick the cum off my fingers!
LMAO,so many ways, every part of the clip felt like they where teaching different sex positions.
your fuckin hot
that was a good idea to make him listen a music.....
she is the best love her.
Yes, she is japanese.

Chase Tower in Rochester is the hub of the bank's local employment. JPMorgan Chase is the area's largest financial services institution and employer; it has about 1,450 workers in the Rochester area.
- Filed Under
JPMorgan Chase admitted wrongdoing and was fined $920 million Thursday for its "London whale" trading debacle as the U.S.-based global bank settled investigations by four oversight agencies.
The costly settlements focus on an early 2012 episode in which the bank's London-based traders amassed large and risky investment positions in an effort to avoid credit portfolio losses. The positions were so big they drew attention from other firm's traders, who dubbed Bruno Iksil, the chief JPMorgan Chase trader involved, "the London whale."
The bank initially asserted that the trades, which ...

Hi Guys,
I have a 51 Zetec which I bought about 6 months ago. The driver electric window didnt work so I took it to a mechanic who sprayed the motor with oil and it started to work. The window has stopped again and I want to spray the motor myself. Can anyone tell me how to actually reach the motor.

you have to remove the door card to reach the motor, also try some silicon spray in the window runners.

Gas service returns to most Monticello residents
Questar workers finished visiting every home and business in the southeastern Utah town of Monticello on Saturday in an effort to get gas turned on after a valve problem Thursday left the entire city without natural gas.
"We are in the process of returning to homes where customers have not been home to let us in," said Questar Gas spokesman Darren Shepherd on Saturday. "We are hoping to find them available today. If we cannot get into these homes later this evening or tomorrow, we have a locksmith and two sheriff's deputies who will accompany service technicians and go into homes that had active service. We need to make sure the bas is back on. If people have a second home and no one has access, we want to get the gas back on so the heat is there and there will be no problems with freezing water lines."
Temperatures in Monticello were expected to drop to 34 degrees Saturday night and early Sunday.
Shepherd said residents began reporting problems with their service Thursday morning and technicians discovered gas pressure was low. They began going from house to house shutting off the gas and checking the system.
The problem was traced to an interstate pipeline miles away. Questar contacted the company that operates the pipeline, which corrected the problem.
Shepherd said a city wide outage was extremely rare and had never happened during the more than two decades he had been with the company. For up-to-date information, log on to http://www.questargas.com.

Tax woes follow growth
It is time to suck it in. We as Eudorians are now faced with some big issues. and one is where is the money going to come from? We somehow passed a huge school bond that was way out of line and will cost us all dearly for many, many years. Our town now is in need of a new fire station, and we don't have any money.
Many who moved here to escape the big city struggles now have forced them onto our citizens and some will be forced to leave. How can we survive if we have no money as citizens?
This was an issue while the school bond was being introduced, but nobody would listen, now we are stuck with a huge tax burden and no money left. It is sad to see Eudora get messed up like the large cities the folks escaped from.
It's a sad sad day.

One key to a successful business startup or expansion is your ability to secure appropriate financing. Raising capital is the most basic of all business activities. But as many new entrepreneurs quickly discover, raising capital may not be easy. It can be a complex and frustrating process. However, if you are informed and have planned effectively, raising money for your business will not be a painful experience.
Finding the Money You Need
There are several sources to consider when looking for financing. It is impotant to consider all of you options before making a decision.
Borrowing Money
It is often said that small business people have a difficult time borowing money. This is necessarily true. Banks make money by lending money. However, the inexperience of small business owners in financial matters often prompts many banks to deny loan requests. To be succesful in obtaining a loan, you must be prepared and organized. You must know exactly how much money you need, why you need it and how you can pay it back. You must be able to convince your lender that you are a good credit risk. Requesting a loan when you are not properly prepared sends a signal to your lender. That message is ... "High Risk!"
Types of Business Loans
How to Write a Loan Proposal
Approval of your loan request depends on how well you present yourself, your business and your financial needs to a lender. Remember, lenders want to make loans, but they must make loans they know will be repaid. The best way to improve your chances of obtaining a loan is to prepare a written proposal. A good loan proposal will contain the following key elements:
How Your Loan Request Will Be Reviewed
When reviewing a loan request, the lender is primarily concerned about repayment. To help determine this ability, many loan officers will order a copy of your business-credit report from a credit reporting agency. Therefore, you should work with these agencies to help them present an accurate picture of your business. Using the credit report and the information you have provided, the lending officer will consider the following issues:

|Idiopathic ventricular tachycardia originating from the posteroseptal mitral annulus: a case report.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 21882486 Owner: NLM Status: In-Process
|Idiopathic VT originating from posteroseptal mitral annulus. We describe a 71-year-old man with a ventricular tachycardia (VT) originating from the mitral annulus. A sustained VT was induced by exercise or an isoproterenol administration, but not by pacing. Frequent premature ventricular contractions(PVCs) with the same QRS as the VT were transiently suppressed by an adenosine triphosphate injection,suggesting that it was due to cyclic-AMP mediated triggered activity. The PVCs and VT were all abolished by radiofrequency catheter ablation guided by the earliest activation and a perfect pace map, which was located at the posteroseptal mitral annulus. The patient has been free from any symptoms for 2 years.(J Cardiovasc Electrophysiol, Vol. 17, pp. 1375-1377, December 2006)

Her own account, written in Yiddish, was discovered by her children after her death and eventually published. The "memoir with music" was adapted for the stage by Ken LaZebnik, with music and lyrics by Leslie Steinweiss.

Hereditary angioedema (C1 inhibitor deficiency, HAE) is associated with intermittent swellings which are disabling and may be fatal. Effective treatments are available and these are most useful when given early in the course of the swelling. The requirement to attend a medical facility for parenteral treatment results in delays. Home therapy offers the possibility of earlier treatment and better symptom control, enabling patients to live more healthy, productive lives. This paper examines the evidence for patient-controlled home treatment of acute attacks ('self or assisted administration') and suggests a framework for patients and physicians interested in participating in home or self-administration programmes. It represents the opinion of the authors who have a wide range of expert experience in the management of HAE.

Political Novice Gains High-Level Support in Commissioner Race
An unknown in Kitsap politics until he won the primary election, Democrat Josh Brown has quickly gained the support of local elected officials including the county's four mayors, U.S. Reps. Jay Inslee, D-Bainbridge Island, and Norm Dicks, D-Belfair, to name a few.
Dicks specifically has stepped forward to promote the young candidate, offering his advice and encouragement as Brown, 25, battles well-known Republican Jack Hamilton, 67, for the Central Kitsap commissioner seat.
"It's tremendous to have this support and encouragement from really the dean of our Washington delegation," Brown said of Dicks' response to his campaign.
The fact that the veteran congressman has come forward to get involved in a county commissioner race shows that he wants to work with officials at the local level to make the county a better place to live, Brown said.
One reason he is supporting Brown is because he is very concerned about what could happen if Hamilton is elected commissioner, Dicks said in a Kitsap Sun editorial board meeting.
"I just think this guy is too extreme," Dicks said of Hamilton. "I'm very concerned that if you get Hamilton on there he will dominate the situation. I'd rather go with youth and somebody who has the right values and good judgment."
In particular Dicks is worried about Hamilton's support for Initiative 933, the property rights initiative, and what that could mean for the county's land use policies.
Because Brown is against I-933 and has similar policy goals as far as helping area military families and keeping family wage jobs in Kitsap County, Dicks said he is confident Brown will work well with current county, state and federal officials.
"We share a similar background ... We are focused on trying to bring progress to Kitsap County," Brown said. "Hopefully we can solve problems together."

Rodriguez races to medal stand
AUSTIN – Jessica Rodriguez finally has her medal from the state track meet.
Heading into Saturday, the long-distance runner from Winters had competed in five events in Austin, always coming up short of that elusive top-three finish.
But in the final race of her high school career, Rodriguez at long last found herself on the medal stand.
Running the best mile of her life in 5:19.21, Rodriguez took third place — less than two seconds behind first place — to cap her high school career with a big smile and a look of relief.
After four years of working for her medal, Rodriguez knew exactly how she wanted to celebrate.
"I'm gonna go drink a Dr Pepper because I haven't had one in a long time," said Rodriguez, who doesn't drink soda during track season.
Rodriguez ran in fourth place for the first half of the 1600, but she then moved into third and never relinquished it.
She was right behind the top two finishers heading down the final straightaway, but she couldn't quite catch them.
Not that it bothered her too much.
"I'm so excited," Rodriguez said shortly after accepting her bronze medal and posing for pictures. "I was proud of myself because I pushed myself really hard. I really wanted it."
Round Top-Carmine's Laurie Byrd won the event in 5:17.28, while Crosbyton's Meghan Bass was second in 5:18.43.
Rodriguez finished strong to leave fourth-place finisher Kelsey Hermes of Lindsay no chance to catch her.
Next up for Rodriguez is Western Texas College in Snyder, where she will continue running.
"I'll start college training soon," she said.
Mason's Caffey goes out strong
Mason senior Rebekah Caffey returned to the state track meet Saturday for the first time since she was a freshman and had top-five finishes in both of her events.
The highlight for Caffey came in the 100, where she took third place in 12.40, even beating Rochelle star Bonnie Richardson.
"I'm very excited," Caffey said. "I mean, this was my goal. I just wanted to win a medal. I worked hard all year for it."
Caffey later took fifth in the 200 in 26.32 to earn a combined eight points for Mason.
Eden jumper Ogle misses out on medal
Eden's Chris Ogle couldn't have had a much better athletic season as he was named the All-West Texas MVP in football and basketball.
The only thing that would have topped that was a medal at the state track meet.
Ogle came close, but a 44-11.5 in the triple jump Saturday earned him a fourth-place finish.
"I'm a little disappointed," Ogle said. "At regionals, I had a 46. So I was hoping on a good day I'd go farther, but it just didn't happen this time."
Ogle is now deciding whether to attend McMurry, Angelo State or TCU.
Freshman Taylor shines for Winters
Winters freshman Leeann Taylor made an impressive debut at the state track meet Saturday with a third-place finish in the 100 hurdles in 15.40.
"When I first started, I was shaking. I was really nervous," Taylor said. "I think I could've done better, but I did what I could."
Bronte's Rosson frustrated with finish
Bronte junior Rob Rosson had the third-best time entering the 110 hurdles Saturday, so he was obviously disappointed when he clocked a 14.97 that left him in fifth place, just 0.12 seconds behind third.
"The first three (hurdles) were good. Then from there it turned to crap," Rosson said. "It's probably one of the worst races I've ran all year."
Rosson said his first state meet appearance didn't overwhelm him - he simply didn't run his race.
But he's already looking forward to next year.
"Next year, I'm going for first," Rosson said. "I've got a good feeling next year's gonna be a good year."
Bearkats junior Niehues can't wait for next year
Garden City junior Paige Niehues came in to state with the fourth-best time in the 400, and that's exactly where she finished after running a 1:00.50.
It was her first time at state after narrowly missing out the last two seasons.
"I wish I could've gotten out a little faster, and I wish I could've just stayed ahead of everyone 'cause I was in lane eight, which is a really hard lane," Niehues said.
Niehues said she feels she could have won a medal, but there's always next year.
"I think third was definitely a possibility, because at the regional qualifiers meet, I ran a :59," Niehues said. "I just wish I could've run that again, 'cause I know that I can now. And so I'm just gonna work really hard next year and hope to do it then."
Roundup of the rest
Bronte's Chelsea Cook took sixth in the triple jump with a mark of 35-2.5. She was 6.25 inches behind fourth, but the top three all cleared 37-0.
Mason's Hillary Bibb took sixth in the 800 with a 2:30.46. The top four finishers all ran in the 2:24s, leaving the rest of the field behind.
Sterling City's Abel Rivas was sixth in the 800 in 2:01.16. Rivas finished 2.46 seconds behind third place.

My trainers squeaked on the polished hallway as I ran panting down the empty corridor, my footsteps echoed loudly off the white washed walls. I skidded past the trophy case on the second floor, and bust through the door that lead to classroom 6B, tripped on my shoelaces, and fell to the floor in a heap, hitting my head. Everybody laughed. Almost everyone, though I couldn't see, I knew one girl, would be sitting silence. "Sarah Kniven!!" came the shill voice of Mrs Baxter, my Algebra teacher. I picked myself off the floor, and looked sheepishly into her furious sharp wrinkled face. A lot of people were still giggling as she snapped "what time is this young lady? Detention. Go sit down." I sighed, and made my way over to my desk. I was right, she wasn't laughing. I looked at my neighbour Megan. That's why I liked Megan, Megan never laughed at you when you fell over, got covered in mud, arrived late, appeared like a scarecrow and acted the fool.
When Mrs Baxter returned to the whiteboard, she whispered "why are you so late?" "Slept in." I mumbled. "Again?" she said a little too loudly. "Silence!" said Mrs Baxter. She waited a while before she started whispering again. "What am I supposed to do with you Megan?" she smiled, and started fiddling with my hair, trying to make me sort of presentable at least. I didn't really mind when she did that, but sometimes I get the feeling she really just likes playing with my scruffy blonde bedhead. Were complete opposites me and her, I'm the dirty untidy scarecrow girl, class joker and last in every test. Megan, as neat as a pin, an honour student, and quiet and sweet, but somehow we just ended up being friends. Best friends.
During lunch I stayed inside the dingy shadowed classroom when everybody else went outside to enjoy the weather. I sat by the window and gazed up at the clear blue sky, the white clouds, and felt the sunlight on my face. Mrs Baxter was snoring quietly in her chair, so I was free to daydream. After 10 minutes I sensed someone watching me, and flinched. I looked back at Mrs Baxter, but she just moved in her sleep and gave out a little snort. I giggled, and nearly fell off my chair when I heard a rapping at the window and turned to see Megan's face right next to mine. It must have been her I felt watching me earlier. She smiled at me and I smiled back, glad see she thought to keep me company.
Then she reached down and got a marker out of her bag, her favourite blue one. She started writing on the window, while I watched, puzzled. She wrote out a message in her neat italic script (how does she write backwards that fast?) that read:
Let's walk home together today; it's been a while, right?
Meet me after school on the roof,
Just because the view must be nice today, I'd like to see it
I'll wait for you. 3:45 then ok?
Bye. : )
She rubbed the pen off the window and ran off just as Mrs Baxter woke up with a grunt, and I quickly looked down at my work, willing myself not to laugh. "Well, have you learnt your lesson?" I heard her say. "Yes Mrs Baxter" I said smiling. "You are dismissed." She said, and pointed to the door. I grinned as I hurried out of room 6B, thinking about that afternoon. I hadn't walked home with Megan since we first started being friends, and I normally walked home on my own. I missed spending that time with her. Because of this, last period English dragged by so very very slowly, when the bell finally rang I practically leapt out of my seat.
I grabbed my bag and jacket and raced up flight after flight of stairs, till I came to the door that said 'ALL STUDENTS MAY NOT ACCESS THE SCHOOL ROOF AT ANY PERIOD" ignoring the sign, I pushed the door gently, and sure enough it opened. Megan must have already picked the lock. I ran through the door out into open sunlight. A warm breeze ruffled my hair and the bright sun shone in my eyes. I dumped my stuff and looked around for Megan. I was about to call her name, when I saw her, lying on the ground on the other side of the roof. I walked over quietly as I could, and looked down at her face. She'd taken off her jumper and was using it has a cushion, and was sleeping quietly in the sunlight. I was about to wake her, then thought better of it. She was tired, and it was hot. I'd let her sleep for a bit longer.
I sat on the hot metal roof next to her, and looked up at the sky, so much closer now. It was such a clear brilliant cloudless blue. I loved that colour. I remembered Megan's marker. "Do you like the colour blue Megan?" I asked quietly, looking down at her. I recoiled in shock, realising that my hand her been resting on Megan chest. My heart was beating right out of my chest, and I couldn't understand why, why I couldn't calm down. It was an accident. Just a simple mistake. Not even a big deal at all. So why couldn't I just calm down? I swallowed hard, and forced my heart to beat quieter. Confused and dazed I looked back at Megan, she still hadn't woken up.
Then I noticed, as I had pulled my hand away a moment ago, the top of Megan's white blouse had come undone. I could see her bra, neat and clean, just like her. There was a little blue ribbon tied to the front. Sky blue. I could feel blood rushing through my ears, and I was getting very hot, but again, I couldn't understand why. Yet this time, it was strange because there was a weird sense of calm that fell over my brain as a sat there and stared. I felt horrible in my gut for even looking, but I sort of couldn't help it, if that makes any sense. After a while I said quietly "you tie a blue ribbon to your bra Megan? That's cute."
I flicked the ribbon with my finger. She stirred, but didn't wake. "Did you know blue was my favourite colour? Is it your favourite colour too, Megan?" I looked back up at the sky, and breathed out slowly, and re-buttoned her shirt. A few minutes later she woke up, and smiled at me. I was reading my algebra book. She sat up and said "I'm sorry Sarah, I must have fallen asleep, and did you wait a long time?" "No" I said quickly, shoving the book back in my bag. I got up, and helped her up too. She didn't remember at all. I felt a twist of guilt in my stomach, and something that might have been disappointment, but I smothered it. I grinned at her, and hooked my pinkie round hers.
"Shall we go then?" I said. "yeah." She said dreamily looking up at the sky. "You know Sarah, I love the colour blue." "Me too." I smiled. We began to walk towards the door to the main school building. "Maybe I'll tie a blue ribbon in my hair."

Re: F1 2012 Championship Thread
Maybe the Ferrari Intelligence Agency could hack Vettel's ECU and make the alternator go pop themselves, if it doesn't happen anyway.
The ECU essentially has an FIA 'rootkit' on it that filters all I/O operations. Just because the teams don't have two-way telemetry, doesn't mean the facility isn't there, and that the FIA can't use it. Presumably if they can get privileged access to the ECU over radio, then they can do whatever they want to it, e.g. tweak certain parameters outside the ranges allowed by the ECU programs, or replace them with malicious ones that run anyway because they're signed. They could easily blow someone's alternator up with that.
You're a classic example of the inverse ratio between the size of the mouth and the size of the brain.
