ARI-HETRA's HBP HDML (heavy-duty mobile lift) 8-4 is a hybrid lift that is battery powered.
Vehicle lifts can make all the difference when it comes to performing maintenance on a school bus. Finding the right lift can make the process safer, easier and more affordable.
SBF asked four vehicle lift companies about what lifts are popular among their customers in the school bus industry. The flexibility and portability of mobile column lifts makes them great for servicing a variety of bus types with ease, officials say.
ARI-HETRAARI-HETRA's HBP HDML (heavy-duty mobile lift) 8-4 is a hybrid lift that is battery powered, says Bill Gibson, the company's general manager.
"When you lift a bus, the lift uses battery power, and when you lower it, the lift uses the weight of the vehicle to recharge the battery," he explains.
The battery can also be charged by a single 110-volt outlet.
The HBP HDML 8-4 is not hydraulic. ARI-HETRA uses a ball-bearing screw to raise and lower the lift.
"This mechanical system is more efficient than a hydraulic system," Gibson says. "[With the HBP HDML 8-4], you've got that mechanical safety, where with a hydraulic system, if there's a leak in the hydraulic seals or hoses, you could be in trouble."
Additionally, if a technician attempts to raise a bus that weighs more than the lift is rated for, the electronic overload protection will shut the system down.
The columns are completely portable, "so when you're done working on your bus, you can roll them into the corner of your shop and they're out of the way," Gibson adds. Using ARI-HETRA's support stands, technicians can prop up a bus and move the columns to a different bay to start work on another bus.
The support stands are equipped with a nitrogen gas-activated spring that allows for easy and safe height adjustment.
"ARI-HETRA manufactures, sells and services all of our lifts," Gibson says. "Our guys know this equipment very well, and if there's a problem while you're working on a vehicle when you've got it up in the air [on a lift], you want to make sure the company you're dealing with can be very responsive."
Mohawk LiftsMohawk Lifts' mobile column lifts have been gaining in popularity every year for several years straight, according to Steve Perlstein, sales manager.
Mohawk offers 18,000-pound, 24,000-pound and 30,000-pound capacity mobile column lifts (the MP-18, MP-24 and MP-30, respectively) that operate hydraulically.
"The mobile column lift is great because you take the school bus, you send it 6 feet up in the air, and if by chance you're waiting around for parts to arrive … you can put the bus on high-rise jack stands," Perlstein says. "Those stands are going to allow you to move the columns away from the school bus and put them in an adjoining bay."
The company's lifts are equipped with adjustable lifting forks to accommodate wheels from 13 to 24 inches in diameter, and up to 48 inches. No wheel reducer sleeves are needed.
"If you don't have adjustable forks [on your lift], then that's an option that people have to buy in order to service that smaller size tire," Perlstein explains.
Mohawk's mobile column lifts communicate with one another through cables, which Perlstein says prevents the interference that can occur in wireless mobile column lifts.
The lifts also have a safety weight gauge to indicate to a technician if the lift is overloaded, as well as a slope indicator. Mohawk's mobile column lifts allow for a 3-degree slope.
"Garages always have sloped floors, wash drains and oil separators and things like that," Perlstein says. "If the lift is only allowed to be used on a perfectly level floor, that's not a good choice of lift."

an Insecticide
Cypermethrin is a synthetic pyrethroid insecticide that has a low toxicity to humans, pets and wildlife but is very effective against a wide range of insects including ants, fire ants, roaches, spiders and crickets.
Examples of products containing Cypermethrin are:
Demon WP--For years this has been our best selling insecticide. It is an odorless, low toxicity synthetic pyrethroid that can be used anywhere except food processing areas. Each pre-measured bag makes one gallon, no measuring required. Demon (Cypermethrin) is labeled to kill the following: ants, boxelder bugs, cockroaches (all species except the german), crickets (field, camel), earwigs, elm leaf beetle, firebrats, flies, silverfish, bees, fire ants, spiders, wasps.
Demon WP 1#---makes up to 50 gallons
Sniper (now called Viper)--This cypermethrin concentrate is our most popular EC size. A four ounce bottle makes up to 8 gallons, equivalent to 8 soluble bags of Demon WP. Great on most household insects. This is the same strength Cypermethrin as the Demon liquid. In some states Cyper 8 will be shipped instead of Viper. This is an identical product.
Cynoff EC ...This product is the equivalent to Viper and Demon EC. A quart makes 64 gallons of finished spray for ant control, so if you need volume buy this size.

UIU and Fareway agree to CAP partnership
Upper Iowa University announces June and August graduatesview all news ›
'Autograph your work with excellence' Bondurant teacher urges fellow Upper Iowa University graduates
Mary Jane Kloster, a third-grade teacher at Anderson Elementary in the Bondurant-Farrar School District, was one of six UIU graduates to address the Class of 2013 commencement ceremonies at Upper Iowa University May 11.
FAYETTE, Iowa (May 13, 2013) – Third-grade teacher Mary Jane Kloster had the opportunity to teach lessons to a group of older students Saturday, May 11, when she was one of six graduates selected to speak to the Class of 2013 during Upper Iowa University commencement. Kloster completed her elementary education degree, with endorsements in reading and language arts, through the UIU-Des Moines Center in December.
Noting that the UIU degree denotes each graduate as a professional, Kloster said, "With this degree we have an obligation to autograph our work with excellence. Being a professional is more than dressing the correct way or showing up. It is doing a job with excellence each day for no other reason than that your name will be on the work produced. UIU has instilled the desire in me to want success in my own students and expect excellence from them as well."
Kloster also credits her UIU experience with teaching her to be a lifelong learner. She urged UIU graduates to "live each day continuously learning," saying "I have learned that education is not an answer or a path, but instead a way we live."
For Kloster, completing her college degree has been 20 years in the making. Although she always "assumed" she would go to college, she didn't take the step into higher education after high school but went straight to work.
"I spent 20 years in the work force. For 20 years I worked hard; not smart, but hard. I trained others to do a job I was qualified to do, but not qualified for the promotion," Kloster recalled. "I wanted an education, but I felt I missed the boat. I felt education was for those born with more resources or more intelligence. I felt it was for other people, though in my deepest dreams, it was something I wanted more than I could admit."
Along the way, Kloster completed two years of community college and was working as an associate at Anderson Elementary School in the Bondurant-Farrar School District.
It was my sixth year as an associate that Mrs. DeeAnn Johnson, a third-grade teacher, asked why I did not complete my teaching degree," Kloster said. "Isn't it funny, in my 30s, a third-grade teacher could still deliver a life lesson? By March of that school year, I had enrolled in education classes."
DeeAnn Johnson would never know the impact she had. Johnson died in December 2012, and Kloster was hired two weeks after she finished her last UIU class to teach in Johnson's third-grade classroom at Anderson Elementary.
"I never in a million years could have guessed the path that I was being led down, but I have no doubt that I have been learning for 20 years how to do the job for which I was hired," Kloster told her UIU classmates.
Upper Iowa University has 19 U.S. off-campus education centers, a traditional residential campus in Fayette, international centers in Hong Kong and Malaysia, as well as an extensive online program and an independent study program. About 2,000 students who completed their associate, bachelor or master degrees through these UIU offerings graduated in the UIU ceremonies. Of those, 700 graduated from the Fayette location, more than 1,000 completed their degree at a U.S. center, 500 graduated through online or independent study programs, and 250 were from the international centers. UIU is one of the most diverse universities in Iowa. In all, the graduates represented 36 states and 14 nations.
About Upper Iowa University Founded in 1857, Upper Iowa University is a private, not-for-profit university providing undergraduate and graduate degree programs and leadership development opportunities to some 6,200 students—nationally and internationally—at its Fayette campus and learning centers worldwide. Upper Iowa University is a recognized innovator in offering accredited, quality programs through flexible, multiple delivery systems, including online and independent study.

Back by popular demand from those sheep who attended the group run on 4/20, and requested by a few sheep who weren't able to make that run, we are at Van Cortlandt again! All sheep are welcome, so I hope you can make it.
I will be watching bags during the run so you can bring something to haul some of Lloyd's famous carrot cake (across the street) back with you afterward.
We will meet on the street of the 1 train at 242nd and Broadway and will head over to the tortoise/rabbit statue at 9am.
I will have my cell phone [masked]) if you need to reach me. Hope to see you there!

After 17 years at St. Alexander Catholic Church, Sister Catherine Kaiser is moving on to her next assignment in La Crosse as one of three newly elected mission councilors.
She will miss many things about the parish where she has served as a parish administrator, handling many duties, since the pastor, the Rev. John Swing, splits his time between the Port Edwards parish and Sacred Heart, Nekoosa.

The Delaware Senate is scheduled to consider S.B. 33 on Thursday. The legislation would bring an element of common sense and fairness to the thousands of Delawareans living in manufactured home communities.
We believe the Senate should pass the bill.
S.B. 33 would limit the amount of land rent increases that could be imposed on homeowners. This is not rent control like in New York City. Instead, it would give the homeowners protection from arbitrary and frequent rent increases.
More than 10 percent of Delaware's housing stock is manufactured homes. They often resemble single- or double-wide homes. Outsiders may think of them as mobile homes, but they are anything but mobile. Once the home is placed on the parcel, it is difficult and expensive to move. The owners pay for utilities and upkeep, but they also pay for renting the land. Frequent and high rent increases, sometimes as high as 50 percent, have forced out homeowners. This is not like leaving an apartment. The residents own the structures they call home. Since moving a manufactured home is expensive, the only alternative is to abandon it.
S.B. 33 would limit the lease increases to an average of the previous three years' urban Consumer Price Index. If the costs of operating the community are higher than that, the landlord can appeal to the Delaware Manufactured Housing Relocation Authority for a ruling.
It is time to end the battle. It has gone on too long. Democratic Sen. Bruce Ennis, a prime sponsor from Smyrna, is right. It is time for the lessees to have "a degree of predictability, stability and fairness in their lives."

|Early diagnosis and risk factors for lymphedema following lymph node dissection for gynecologic cancer.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 23357989 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|BACKGROUND: Although early diagnosis is important for selecting an effective surgical treatment for secondary lymphedema, an efficient screening test for detecting early-stage lymphedema has not yet been established. Serial changes of lymphatic function before and after lymph node dissection and risk factors for secondary lymphedema are important indicators.
METHODS: A prospective cohort observational study was conducted with 100 consecutive gynecologic cancer patients who underwent pelvic lymph node dissection. Lymphatic function was assessed by noninvasive lymphography using indocyanine green fluorescence imaging on a routine schedule. Earliest findings after lymphadenectomy and risk factors for lower leg lymphedema were investigated.
RESULTS: Atypical transient dermal backflow patterns were observed in an early postoperative period in 50 cases, all of which disappeared within 3 months. Of these patterns, the splash pattern was observed in 31 patients, of which five improved to normal following a natural course. In contrast, the stardust pattern was observed in 27 patients, and none had improved with conservative therapy. Postoperative radiotherapy was a significant risk factor for the stardust pattern.
CONCLUSIONS: All patients who undergo lymphadenectomy for gynecologic malignancies should be examined for secondary lower extremity lymphedema by qualitative evaluation methods on a routine schedule to determine the earliest possible diagnosis. Because the splash pattern on indocyanine green lymphography is a reversible lymphatic disorder following a natural course, surgical treatments are not recommended. The decision regarding surgical treatment can be made after observing the stardust pattern.
CLINICAL QUESTION/LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Diagnostic, IV.

|Incomplete aneurysm coverage after patent foramen ovale closure in patients with huge atrial septal aneurysm: effects on left atrial functional remodeling.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 20718907 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|BACKGROUND: Large devices are often implanted to treat patent foramen ovale (PFO) and atrial septal aneurysm (ASA) with increase risk of erosion and thrombosis. Our study is aimed to assess the impact on left atrium functional remodeling and clinical outcomes of partial coverage of the approach using moderately small Amplatzer ASD Cribriform Occluder in patients with large PFO and ASA.
METHODS: We prospectively enrolled 30 consecutive patients with previous stroke (mean age 36 +/- 9.5 years, 19 females), significant PFO, and large ASA referred to our center for catheter-based PFO closure. Left atrium (LA) passive and active emptying, LA conduit function, and LA ejection fraction were computed before and after 6 months from the procedure by echocardiography. The preclosure values were compared to values of a normal healthy population of sex and heart rate matched 30 patients.
RESULTS: Preclosure values demonstrated significantly greater reservoir function as well as passive and active emptying, with significantly reduced conduit function and LA ejection fraction, when compared normal healthy subjects. All patients underwent successful transcatheter closure (25 mm device in 15 patients, 30 mm device in 6 patients, mean ratio device/diameter of the interatrial septum = 0.74). Incomplete ASA coverage in both orthogonal views was observed in 21 patients. Compared to patients with complete coverage, there were no differences in LA functional parameters and occlusion rates.
CONCLUSIONS: This study confirmed that large ASAs are associated with LA dysfunction. The use of relatively small Amplatzer ASD Cribriform Occluder devices is probably effective enough to promote functional remodeling of the left atrium.

She said she was taking it to the counter. Well, needless to say, it never made it to the counter. My guess is the parent(s) said oh no keep it. If we don't teach our children to be honest how do we expect them to be honest, successful people when they grow up?

An Honorable Round
On June 16, Kelsey Schultz of Upper Arlington, Ohio, brought
together members of his high school golf team to raise money for Honor Flight
Network, a non-profit organization that works to fly World War II veterans to
see the war memorial in Washington, D.C. Seventeen golfers joined Schultz for
the 18-hole fundraiser that took just under five hours to complete.
Schultz had his first experience with Honor Flight in eighth
grade when he witnessed the purpose of Honor Flight firsthand. That year,
Schultz and his father flew with 20 World War II veterans from Columbus, Ohio,
to Washington, D.C. to aide in the veterans' trip to view, for the first time,
the memorial that honors their sacrifices.
"It was great to see the veterans and how they reacted so
greatly to seeing their memorial," Schultz said. "It was an experience I will
never forget."
A similar golf fundraiser in 8th grade gave Schultz the idea
to host this year's golf outing to raise money for Honor Flight. In his first
year of running the fundraiser, Schultz initially contacted fellow members of
the Upper Arlington High School golf team to ask for their help in raising
money. When he received 100 percent support and participation from his friends,
Schultz sought out the Ohio State Golf Course to host the event.
After working hard to get the approval to use Ohio State's
golf course, Schultz succeeded and moved on to begin raising donations prior to
the event. Schultz and his golf teammates went into their community to raise
one-time donations and donations for every par, birdie, or eagle that each
player would make while participating in the outing.
Following the event on June 16, Schultz and the Upper
Arlington golf team raised $5,000 for Honor Flight.
"Everyone had a great time and worked together to have a
great, successful outcome," Schultz said.
As a new member of the AJGA, Schultz is already striving to
make a difference in his community by raising money for Honor Flight, an
organization that he says is "such a great cause for great people." In the
future, Schultz plans to make his Honor Flight golf fundraiser an annual event
so they can raise as many donations as possible for this great cause.

Fans of jazz trumpet enjoyed an aural feast Wednesday night at the Dakota Jazz Club in Minneapolis, courtesy of the United Trumpet Summit.
The combo features three generations of elite jazz hornmen: elder statesmen Randy Brecker, 67, and Eddie Henderson, 72, 36-year-old Jeremy Pelt and Leon Jordan Jr., a 20-something product of Philadelphia.
They were backed by a rhythm section composed of pianist Sharp Radway (who is also the group's emcee and musical director) and two Twin Cities-based musicians: bassist Gary Raynor and drummer Kevin Washington.
The opening set was a tribute of sorts to one of the great bebop trumpeters, the late Clifford Brown. The band opened with two of Brown's most well-known compositions: the uptempo bebopper "Blues Walk" and the melodious "Joy Spring."
On the infectiously swinging piece, Pelt displayed a rich, warm tone that sounded at times as though he was playing a flugelhorn.
Jordan displayed some impressive, upper-register chops and, on Brecker's solo, he engaged in some call-and response with the drummer.
On "Joy Spring," Pelt wove some extended, seamless blues lines on his solo.
The next piece, Duke Ellington's "Caravan," was a solo showcase for Jordan, the group's youngest member, backed only by the bass and drums. Jordan displayed a crystalline tone, playing an extended intro that hinted at the familiar melody a few times before kicking the tune off in earnest.
Washington, a world-class drummer who happens to live in the Twin Cities, punctuated the tune with some inventive, polyrhythmic stickwork.
The veteran Brecker was featured on the next tune, a nice reading of the Benny Golson ballad "I Remember Clifford," which Golson wrote to honor Brown after his death at age 25 in a 1956 car accident.
The combo closed out the opening set with the standard "Cherokee," an uptempo tune that has long served as a test vehicle for jazz musicians to show off their instrumental chops and harmonic mastery. The arrangement began with an unusual twist -- a faux Native American drumbeat, before kicking off the familiar melody.

Photo by Matt OttoBANG! A STREET DRUMMING EXHIBITION
One thing we've learned from the National Association of Music Merchants confab every January is that the people who turn out for NAMM are just barely cooler than your average Star Trek or Dungeons & Dragons geek. There are even levels of sub-geekdom—you got your guitar geeks, your keyboard geeks, your bass geeks, your DJ geeks, your producing/recording tech geeks, all grouped together and intermingling in the freshly scrubbed colon of the Anaheim Convention Center. When night falls, these geeks turn serious, indulging their geekosity at a myriad of local clubs. F'r instance, last Saturday was Deke Dickerson's Guitar Geek Festival in Anaheim (see? They looove being geeks!). And two nights earlier it was the drum geeks' turn at Chain Reaction.
Or, er, something. What we thought was supposed to be a four-hour beat-off turned into a paltry 45 minutes of "street drumming"—basically a poor punk's version of a flashier percussion stage spectacle like Stomp or Blast, featuring no-name skin pounders from nothing bands such as STUN, Finch and theSTART, plus No Doubt's Adrian Young (the big draw, judging from all the ND stickers on cars in the lot).
It seemed to be well-choreographed, as one drum geek emerged from the stage side and started banging on spray-painted metal trash cans (hence, "street"), and then others would pop out to beat on paint buckets, cow bells and tire rims, growing to a point where there were about nine dudes (but no chicks—drummers are even more sexist than guitar players) taking out their testosterone on assorted pieces of junk to a well-paced rhythm—for a while there, it looked like an all-Caucasian Ozomatli.
Then some spiky-haired guy got up and started clapping his hands and spanking his flesh—yeah, we could do that, too, but then we stopped being 11 years old—and we realized that, no, this really wasn't very impressive. It's the kind of thing that goes on every weekend at Venice or Laguna Beach for free, a loosely organized drum circle in which half the people lay down the rhythm while the other half provide the fills. The official badge-wearing NAMM show attendees—instantly recognizable in their shoulder-padded suit jackets—didn't care for it either, probably because you can't buy trash-can lids at Guitar Center.
Soon, things got ridiculous, with fog-machine bursts and an ending jam session in which laser beams were attached to everyone's sticks—wow, dude, it's like a Rush concert! As for Young, he looked really bored, like he was there only because his sponsor told him he had to be—he could have e-mailed his blink-and-you-miss-'em fills in. When it was over, one of the drum guys revealed the true reason why they were there to begin with: "We got merch for saaallle in baaaccckkk! Shirts! CDs!" Whatta geek.

The photo appears to be of a girl between the ages of 15 and 19, and, from the appearance of her hairstyle, was probably taken in the early 1980s.
Any other details concerning the girl's identity remain a mystery.
Howard's Studio was owned and operated by Howard Jones, who passed away in January 2011. Jones' wife, Jenel Jones, would like to learn the girl's identity so she can pass the photo on to her or to her family.
The Daily Times previously ran one of the studio's unclaimed photos of an elderly woman. The photo subsequently was identified and claimed by the woman's grandchildren, and Jones is hoping publication of the girl's photo will yield similar results.
"It's a really beautiful photo, but I don't know anything about the girl. I don't even know what tribe she might belong to," said Jones. "All I know is that the photo must have been taken in the '80s, before Howard closed the shop."
The photo was one of many used for display purposes at Howard's Photography between the time of its opening in 1957 and its closure in 1987. In addition to the girl, Jones is hoping to identify subjects of other photos, some of which may have been extra copies of photos instead of store displays.
Jones gave a box of the collected photos, most of which are 8-by-10 shots of proms, weddings and portraits, to her friend, Farmington realtor Treva Fox-Christy, hoping she would be able to help with the identifications. Fox-Christy has so far located only two of the individuals, but continues to search for clues about the identities of the others.
Long fascinated by Farmington's history, Fox-Christy has set up a Facebook site entitled "If You Are From Farmington, NM, Remember When...?"
The site, which has 2,400 members, offers people the opportunity to "take a trip down memory lane" by posting photos and remembrances of a Farmington from days gone by. Members comment on the photos, share their own recollections, and reconnect with fellow Farmingtonians.
Photos posted on the site include a 1960 era snapshot of swimmers frolicking in the "new" Brookside Pool; a photo from the 1950s depicting Farmington Police officers posing in front of the station, which then was located on Main Street; and a shot from the 1970s of the Big Boy statue that stood for years in front of the now long-gone restaurant.
"I'm pretty sure that my Grandpa is the gray-haired gentleman second from left on the back row. He was a mechanic for Ford for yearsÉ.wow, thanks to whoever posted this," was one of the comments underneath a late-1950s photo of a group of men from the Farmington Motor Company.
"It's a really "good-feeling' website and has become really popular," said Fox-Christy. "I had no idea how large it would get. It's amazing how many people of all ages really love Farmington."
Fox-Christy plans in the near future to scan the Howard's Photography photos into the Facebook site, hoping that people who visit the site will recognize faces and claim the photos.
Those wishing to peruse the old photos, upload their own photo, or make a comment on the Farmington of the past can request to join the site, or can contact Treva Fox-Christy at (505) 330-0584.
If you have information on the identity of the young Native American woman in the Howard's Photography photo, contact Jenel Jones at (505) 325-4190.

'Sports involve millions of people attending them or watching them on TV which again results in tens or hundreds of millions of dollars in profits.

Professional sports players are a bunch of over paid consumers. They produce nothing but are responsible for millions of gallons of gasoline being consumed by people traveling to and from the stadiums to watch them. Divert taxpayers' dollars into subsidized stadiums. All of the teams should setup pseudo stadiums in Texas and be observed on television.

|Annotated regions of significance of SELDI-TOF-MS spectra for detecting protein biomarkers.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 17072907 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|Peak detection is a key step in the analysis of SELDI-TOF-MS spectra, but the current default method has low specificity and poor peak annotation. To improve data quality, scientists still have to validate the identified peaks visually, a tedious and time-consuming process, especially for large data sets. Hence, there is a genuine need for methods that minimize manual validation. We have previously reported a multi-spectral signal detection method, called RS for 'region of significance', with improved specificity. Here we extend it to include a peak quantification algorithm based on annotated regions of significance (ARS). For each spectral region flagged as significant by RS, we first identify a dominant spectrum for determining the number of peaks and the m/z region of these peaks. From each m/z region of peaks, a peak template is extracted from all spectra via the principal component analysis. Finally, with the template, we estimate the amplitude and location of the peak in each spectrum with the least-squares method and refine the estimation of the amplitude via the mixture model. We have evaluated the ARS algorithm on patient samples from a clinical study. Comparison with the standard method shows that ARS (i) inherits the superior specificity of RS, and (ii) gives more accurate peak annotations than the standard method. In conclusion, we find that ARS alleviates the main problems in the preprocessing of SELDI-TOF spectra. The R-package ProSpect that implements ARS is freely available for academic use at http://www.meb.ki.se/ yudpaw.

Would have liked the orders to be consis
By M

Would have like the orders to be consistent. The second order of three ships had the two words on one line,I liked it better as the first one with the two words on two lines. But the ship is really cute. Would order them with no writing the next time. Thanks, S M

About Me Budget Shopper
We get ornaments for each of our grandchildren every Christmas. The older the kids get, the more difficult it is to find an ornament they love! We found this ornament on another site, but they had none left. Thank you Miles Kimball! My grand son really wanted this ornament but was going to settle for a different one, now he doesn't have to settle!
It looks great and my nephew loved it.

great Christmas ornament but kids could also keep it in their rooms as a decoration
Ink not dry
By Pirate Parent
from Nebraska/Iowa
The ships came packaged well in bubble wrap, however they were packed before the ink was dry. As a result when we unwrapped them part of the names transferred to the bubble wrap. We had to touch them up with a fine felt tipped pen.
Bottom LineNo, I would not recommend this to a friend

Vietnamese cardinal arrives, last one for conclave
VATICAN CITY — The last cardinal who will participate in the conclave to elect the next pope arrived Thursday in Rome.
A date, therefore, now can be set for the election. One American cardinal said a decision is expected soon on the start date.
The arrival in Rome of Vietnam's Cardinal Jean-Baptiste Pham Minh Man marks that all 115 cardinal electors are in place. He entered the Vatican auditorium for the session without speaking to reporters.
Some American and other cardinals had said they want to continue the pre-conclave meetings that have been going on all week for as long as it takes so that they can discern who among them has the best qualifications to be pope. They also want more time to discuss the Roman Catholic Church's problems.
Some Vatican-based cardinals —defensive about criticisms of the Vatican's internal governance that have been aired recently — want to get on with the vote. They said there's no reason to delay.
"Hopefully it will be a short conclave and start very soon," Vatican-based Cardinal Paul Josef Cordes of Germany was quoted as telling the German daily Bild. "I would compare it with a visit to the dentist — you want to get everything over with quickly."
U.S. Cardinal Roger Mahony tweeted that the discussions are "reaching a conclusion."
"Setting of date for conclave nearing. Mood of excitement prevails among Cardinals," he wrote.
Once the conclave starts, there is very little time for discussion.
Cardinals take two votes in the morning, two votes in the afternoon — all of them conducted in silent prayer, not chatter, amid the frescoes of the Sistine Chapel. As a result, setting the date for the start of the conclave is akin to setting the deadline for when pre-conclave deliberations will finish.
These discussions are designed to give cardinals an opportunity to get to know one another better and dive into the problems confronting the church and who among them is best suited to fix them.
Cardinals received a briefing on the Holy See's finances amid questions about the administration of the Vatican bureaucracy and continued suspicions about the Vatican bank.
As such, "it seems very normal and very wise" to wait to set the conclave date until all cardinals are confident that they're nearing an end to their deliberations, said Vatican spokesman the Rev. Federico Lombardi.

I have a problem with premieve pro 2.0. No matter what I set the video data to, the resoultion sucks and I dont understand why.
I was watching a bleach amv, and the resolution was 720-480. Then i checked my resolution and it was also set to 720-480, but still looked MUCH more blocky upon exporting. To test it I even took some clips from his video, and exported it with my settings and the resolution is SO MUCH WORSE! Can anyone tell me why my music video would look so blocky? Is there extra software i need? Because even having the settings to maximum everything produces crappy videos.
Man, two days of video editing and its making me a very sad panda because of this. I know I'll probably have to resart the entire video for a better resolution...but atleast i could get started if I found the cause of this poor resolution.
tanks for any help that can be provided.

Rodeo and all its fun just around the corner
SAN ANGELO, Texas - More than 100,000 visitors — plus 11,000 four-legged critters — are expected to be in town for the 79th San Angelo Stock Show & Rodeo, scheduled Feb. 17-27.
Considering that's more people than live here, there must be something extraordinary happening, and the Stock Show & Rodeo Association unveiled some of those details at a Friday news conference at the San Angelo Visitors Center.
"There is something for everyone at the stock show and rodeo," said Terrica Taylor, marketing assistant for the annual event.
Any given stock show and rodeo day at the San Angelo Fairgrounds could include finding Jesus at a cowboy church rally, eating crawfish étouffée at the food court, riding a live Texas longhorn, shopping for $10,000 boots, getting catapulted from a giant slingshot on the midway and buying a cowboy a Crown and coke.
A child's day might mean winning a mutton bustin' contest, playing with pygmy goats at the petting zoo, seeing a white tiger, riding a camel or riding a carousel at the midway.
This is the third largest livestock show in Texas, and the largest rodeo in the world, in terms of the sheer number of entries, Executive Director Justin Jonas said.
"We are always in the Top 10 of rodeos overall," he said. "It's such a great rodeo, contestants want to compete in it regardless of how far they have to come."
Cowboys and cowgirls are coming from all over Texas, and as far away as Wyoming, South Dakota, Idaho, Arizona, Tennessee, Alabama and even British Columbia.
For San Angelo, the stock show and rodeo is the No. 1 event of the year.
"It has the largest economic impact, bringing in excess of $20 million, between the fair, the rodeo and stock show," said marketing coordinator Tom Thompson.
There also is a large social impact, with more than 900 volunteers involved.
The stock show has a large youth component, drawing children and their animal projects from all over Texas. Seventy-five percent of participating youths are from out of town, Thompson said. The grand champion prize brings $15,000 to $20,000.
Youth rodeo events include the calf scramble, barrel race, clowns and princesses, and mutton bustin' for wranglers weighing in at less than 50 pounds. Non-livestock events for youths include public speaking, creative arts and ag mechanics.
"We are excited this year to have Keith Isley, the PRCA rodeo clown of the year," said livestock director Brittni Kaczyk. "We also will have the 'wild bird spectacular,' with 12 exotic bird species flying around the arena. The barbecue cook-off is a new event that we expect to be very popular."
The midway has some new rides, including the Zoomer and the Hurricane. A mechanical bull will be on hand, and special discount days will be offered for military, students and people wearing pink.
Rodeo slack begins Tuesday and continues through Feb. 14 at the 1st Community Credit Union Spur Arena. This event is free, starting most days at 8 a.m., and open to the public. It is the cowboy version of "auditioning" for each rodeo event.
"For example, there are 230 barrel racers signed up," Jonas said. "Eighty of them will be selected to come back for the performance (and competition)."
Add bull riding, bareback riding, calf-roping and other events, and that's a lot of entries.
Beyond the arena, the midway and the food court, there are other adventures waiting.
Shopping opportunities abound, with vendors filling 100 booths indoors and 20 outdoors. The downtown rodeo parade will begin at 10 a.m. Feb. 19, with entries accepted until Feb. 11 at sanangelorodeo.com.
For horse people, daily trail rides will be held around the area, the longest at 21 miles from the Goodyear Proving Grounds to the San Angelo State Park. Rides begin Feb. 11. For more information, visit santafetrailride.com
Even though this is a particularly busy time for the Stock Show & Rodeo Association, it's a full-time operation year-round, requiring a 10-person staff and 30-member board of directors.
"Part of our success is that we have a very diverse board," Jonas said. "We have everything from rough stock cowboys to people who have never been on a horse."

The greatest 80s band there never was.
|Bono. Super-nice guy.
Sid, everybody's got problems. Everybody. You just sat here and ran me through some of yours, and some of those seem pretty tough.
The thing I realized a while back was that it's not what your problems are. What matters is how you deal with them.
I don't mind people making fun of me. Where I come from, that's part of how people show they love you. Or what they do before they punch you. It's just part of life. If I was worried about what people said, I'd have never got on stage the first time. Or the second. Or in front of the 20,000 people that saw us play last week.
As for why I do it, well, it's like Archimedes said about levers. We're all tryin' to move the world a little bit every day. Some people are moving it to make a bit more money or be a bit less sad. A few even try to make things better (as they define it) for other people.
I've got a pretty big lever. Bigger than most other people's [and he winks at me]. And I believe I have an obligation to use it. Do good works and all that. I'm tryin' to make the world a better place. Tryin' to be a better person. Tryin' to make a good record. Tryin' to have a good time doin' it.
Now, the thing about that big lever is that yeah, I can move the world more than most can. But that also means if I make mistakes, they're bigger, too. Bigger fuck-ups, bigger problems. That's what I have to think about all the time. It's not easy, but I wouldn't have it any other way.
What's my alternative? I could retire and do nothin', I guess. People would eventually leave me alone. But how could I live with myself, knowing I had that rare opportunity to try, to do something, and I let it pass?
Besides, at some point I'll have to retire anyhow. God will take that lever away. Maybe tomorrow. Maybe if the new album flops. There's plenty of time for doin' nothin'.
Twist away the gates of steel
Unlock the secret voice
Give in to ancient noise
Take a chance a brand new dance
Twist away the gates of steel
Twist away
Now twist and shout
The earth it moves too slow
But the earth is all we know
We pay to play the human way
Twist away the gates of steel
A man is real
Not made of steel
But the earth is all we know
We pay to play the human way
Twist away the gates of steel
The beginning was the end
Of everything now
The ape regards his tail
He's stuck on it
Repeats until he fails
Half a goon and half a god
A man's not made of steel
Twist away
Now twist and shout
The earth it moves too slow
But the earth is all we know
We pay to play the human way
Twist away the gates of steel
A man is real that's how he feels
...or, as most people call it, "show business".
Someone forwarded this to me. yEAH, big surprise. If you put on a show, people like it better than if you just stand there.
If you wanna be all "serious" about your "art", you better be really really good. Like, The Cars good:
They didn't have to move to be awesome. But there's still some guitar face, and their songs are so good they can't help but get into them a bit.
But you know what, it wouldn't have hurt them to throw some rock jumps in.
I'm not saying you need coordinated dance moves like Prince makes his people do (and by the way, he is ruthless about that - he expects you to nail your parts, play with heart and soul, follow his every move, AND you have to dance...)...but come on. People come to see a show. You better put one on.
Look, it ain't easy. especially as you get older. You can look back over the history of pop stars, and nearly every big shot today has photos they wish they'd never taken, but at the time looked AWESOME.
Go take a look at any band from any era. Ridiculous.
There's very little difference between this:
|Hot girls drive clicks. Basic marketing!
|This album cover is brilliant.
But this is what happens to rock stars, right? They age, they wither, and they eventually play 30-year-old songs to 50-year-old people who are doing their best to avoid nostalgia's bittersweet aftertaste while nursing an $11 Bud in the back of a basketball arena.
People, mark your calendars. Start your engines. Get your parachute pants cleaned and ready.
There's few things that scare me more than having one of the Pants tell me they bought a new piece of gear. This recently happened. I was terrified that Dante was going to take up the guzheng in a bid to get out from behind the drum kit.
Instead, Pony said he bought a new guitar. It looks like this:
Hey fans! All sorts of things afoot right now.
We're still working on our new album, and getting in shape for some upcoming gigs and various court-ordered appearances.
We've also been exploring some new sounds. We almost hired this lady:
...but we couldn't get agreement around per diems working out. Last I heard she was going on tour with Mastodon.
Anyhow, we'll have new music out soon. Stay tuned...
One of the downsides to being an aging pop star is that generally, your fans get old, too.
Being me, I take advantage of all the best technologies, stay the hell out of the sun, and eat right. so I still look pretty good.
But then I look out at the audience, and realize these are my people...
Anyhow, this is a good example of what some of our gigs are like:
Make sure you press the "snowflake" button.
PS that's not The Pants in the background. I believe it is Built To Spill or maybe The Arcade Fire.
I did, in fact, model for this cartoon. Thanks, Drew!
STEWART COPELAND, The Police: I grew to understand that videos were mainly about getting our singer's face out there. Because it was so pretty. That's the way it goes. Drummers learn that lesson pretty early in life. Guitarists never quite learn that lesson. Drummers and bass players, we're over it.So true, so true.
"...tugs the heartstrings like it's dragging a sofa upstairs..."
In this surprisingly good Pitchfork interview, Louis C. K. says:
Pitchfork: Right now seems like a particularly up moment in your career. Is there any security in that?
C.K.: Oh, Christ, no. It's still show business and based on people going, "I like that guy," which can evaporate on a global level in an instant. Through all the years of ups and downs, I've picked up a lot of skills and learned ways to take care of myself. I do feel more security now, but it's because the recent downs have not been as bad; when I fall from where I am now, I won't fall as far. I'll be OK.

How 'Scandal' Creator Shonda Rhimes Makes Us Forget Our Morals
Have you ever rooted so badly for an extramarital affair to happen?
"Scandal" fans everywhere pray that Olivia (Kerry Washington) and Fitz (Tony Goldwyn) will end up together ... so essentially we are all crossing our fingers that a man divorces his wife (who just had his baby) and lives happily ever after with his mistress. The crazy-sounding premise is why a few people (here's looking at you, Mom) don't tune in to ABC's hit show. Sure ... it does sound insane, but once you start watching you just get it. So how does "Scandal" and "Grey's Anatomy" creator Shonda Rhimes pull it off, exactly?
At Thursday night's "Scandal" presentation at the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences, we asked the cast if they have pondered the same thing, and how Rhimes makes us forget our morals for an hour on Thursday nights.
[Related: 'Scandal' Season Finale: Do Fitz and Olivia Stay Together?]
Bottom line: Everyone in the cast is a "Litz" fan, too.
"It's because Fitz and Liv belong together," Tony Goldwyn (Fitz) told Yahoo! TV. "And yet there is poor Mellie sitting there alone! You feel elated for Liv and Fitz and sad for Mellie. It's brilliant writing."
Continued Goldwyn: "But life is like that. Sometimes it's a terrible situation to be in — to fall deeply in love with somebody and not be in love with a person who is your partner in life. That is a terrible quandary to be in. Morality aside, Fitz is in that terrible situation. It's not a happy place for any of the three of them."
Watch a scene with Fitz and Liv:
"As a fan of the show, I absolutely root for [Olivia and Fitz]," Bellamy Young (Mellie) told us. "They are adorable!"
"In the pilot [Rhimes] started their relationship at such a close-up. You meet Olivia and Fitz, and they were in true love," continued Young. "They have such chemistry together. You fell in love with them being in love. Then she slowly pulled back and you realized he's married, and she did these things, but you're still left rooting for them. That's life."
[Related: The 12 New Shows We'll Be Watching Next Season]
"But you aren't meeting [Mellie] and Fitz in our best moment, so you can't say, 'Oh, their relationship is so strong!'" justified Young. "That's life, too. We have an amazing past behind us, but this is an ugly moment and it's complicated."
"It's a great question. Really, how does Shonda do it?" Jeff Perry (Cyrus) wondered. "It's so bizarre. And we're so mad at David Rosen (Joshua Malina), but he's the only one trying to protect you and I as voters. He is the only one who isn't a liar and a cheat and we are mad at him!"
Scott Foley, who plays Olivia's love interest Jake Ballard, was equally stumped when asked about what we are all hoping will happen: "What is wrong with us?"
[Related: Scott Foley's Wife on 'Scandal' Sex Scenes: 'Bring Some of That Home!']
"I was a fan of the show before I was on it, and as much as I hate to say it now, I was a Litz fan," Foley told us. "Shonda has a way of doing this where someone does something bad and you root for them, then someone does something good and you hate them — like David Rosen."
"You're right. People are rooting for the mistress and the killer," laughed Guillermo Diaz (Huck). "It's so crazy when you think about it, but you can't help but love Olivia because she truly loves Fitz."

Theater Review: Long Wharf Offering Classic Shepard Work For Thinking People With A Sense Of HumorTuesday, March 5, 2013
NEW HAVEN — Modern American drama tends to focus on the family, the dysfunctional family, that is.
Theater Review: 'Rounding Third' Another Winner For Stray Kats (And Audiences)Tuesday, March 5, 2013
If there is one local show that you really ought to go see — because it is beautifully written, perfectly acted, and hilariously funny (in other words, what we all could use right now) — it's Richard Dresser's two man play about Little League baseball. For two more weekends, The Stray Kats Theatre Company is presenting Rounding Third in Edmond Town Hall's Alexandria Room.
