Judith Kane leaves Boston for a small, obscure town three thousand miles away, and she does it for one reason--safety. Her ex-husband is out on bail, awaiting trial on a kidnapping charge. He'd stolen their youngest child, Sophie--and Judith's afraid of him.
So she moves her family to Mad River, Washington. Right next door to a cop. What could be safer?
But Chief Ben McKinsey doesn't want a family next door. He doesn't want to get involved with an attractive woman like Judith Kane--or with her kids. But they seem to need him. And you have to be able to count on a cop.
"Janice Kay Johnson's heartwarming stories will make you smile and cry and laugh out loud."
--Pamela Toth
Janice Kay Johnson is the author of sixty books for children and adults. Her first four published romance novels were coauthored with her mother, also a writer who has since published mysteries and children's books on her own. These were "sweet" romance novels, the author hastens to add; she isn't sure they'd have felt comfortable coauthoring passionate love scenes!
Janice graduated from Whitman College with a B.A. in history and then received a master's degree in library science from the University of Washington. She was a branch librarian for a public library system until she began selling her own writing.
She has written six novels for young adults and one picture book for the read-aloud crowd. Rosamund was the outgrowth of all those hours spent reading to her own daughters, and of her passion for growing old roses. Two more of her favorite books were historical novels she wrote for Tor/Forge. The research was pure indulgence for someone who set out intending to be a historian!
Janice is divorced and has raised her two daughters in a small, rural town north of Seattle, Washington. She's an active volunteer and board member for Purrfect Pals, a no-kill cat shelter, and foster kittens often enliven a household that already includes a few more cats than she wants to admit to!
Janice loves writing books about both love and family about the way generations connect and the power our earliest experiences have on us throughout life. Her Superromance novels are frequent finalists for Romance Writers of America RITA® awards.

What a good find !
I had driven miles and miles this day and was not sure where I would finish but glad it was here .
I have previously stayed at the premier inn a few miles down the road but would choose the Greyhound again.On arrival I found the car park a bit dark and the walk to the pub not well lit . Inside the pub was great , it had real oldy worldly charm as did my room . The room was basic but comfy and spotless apart from one large hair in the bath . My evening meal was served well tasted delicious and came out quite quick considering how busy they were . I slept well but the noise from the road directly outside did wake me as I think it's a popular rabbit run to the M5. Breakfast was simple but well cooked and tasty . All in all a very good stay.

Fish-eye disease, also called partial LCAT deficiency, is a disorder that causes the clear front surface of the eyes (the corneas) to gradually become cloudy. The cloudiness, which generally first appears in adolescence or early adulthood, consists of small grayish dots of cholesterol (opacities) distributed across the corneas. Cholesterol is a waxy, fat-like substance that is produced in the body and obtained from foods that come from animals; it aids in many functions of the body but can become harmful in excessive amounts. As fish-eye disease progresses, the corneal cloudiness worsens and can lead to severely impaired vision.
Fish-eye disease is a rare disorder. Approximately 30 cases have been reported in the medical literature.
Fish-eye disease is caused by mutations in the LCAT gene. This gene provides instructions for making an enzyme called lecithin-cholesterol acyltransferase (LCAT).
The LCAT enzyme plays a role in removing cholesterol from the blood and tissues by helping it attach to molecules called lipoproteins, which carry it to the liver. Once in the liver, the cholesterol is redistributed to other tissues or removed from the body. The enzyme has two major functions, called alpha- and beta-LCAT activity. Alpha-LCAT activity helps attach cholesterol to a lipoprotein called high-density lipoprotein (HDL). Beta-LCAT activity helps attach cholesterol to other lipoproteins called very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) and low-density lipoprotein (LDL).
LCAT gene mutations that cause fish-eye disease impair alpha-LCAT activity, reducing the enzyme's ability to attach cholesterol to HDL. Impairment of this mechanism for reducing cholesterol in the body leads to cholesterol-containing opacities in the corneas. It is not known why the cholesterol deposits affect only the corneas in this disorder. Mutations that affect both alpha-LCAT activity and beta-LCAT activity lead to a related disorder called complete LCAT deficiency, which involves corneal opacities in combination with features affecting other parts of the body.
Changes in this gene are associated with fish-eye disease.
This condition is inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern, which means both copies of the gene in each cell have mutations. The parents of an individual with an autosomal recessive condition each carry one copy of the mutated gene, but they typically do not show signs and symptoms of the condition.

Plug In America
|This article needs additional citations for verification. (February 2012)

|"Plug In America drives change. We accelerate the shift to plug-in vehicles powered by clean, affordable, domestic electricity to reduce our nation's dependence on petroleum and improve the global environment."
Formerly called
Plug In America (PIA) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit educational organization that promotes and advocates the use of plug-in cars, trucks and sports utility vehicles (SUVs) powered by domestic and renewable electricity which it claims will help reduce dependence on fossil fuels, improve the global environment and reduce greenhouse gases and climate change.
PIA advocates the development of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles, battery electric vehicles, and other vehicles which use electricity, from the power grid or from electricity-generating devices such as solar cells, as a substantial source of motive energy.
Plug In America was initiated by Don't Crush, a coalition organized to stop automobile manufacturers from destroying electric vehicles at the end of their lease. Because of Don't Crush's previous success in preventing the destruction of Toyota and Ford electric car models, and exposing General Motors' decision to discontinue its plug-in hybrid, the group hoped to strengthen its cause for plug-in vehicles by forming PIA.[1] According to a company press release, Plug In America strives to "revive plug-in auto production" by collaborating with a variety of public and private organizations and businesses to promote "cleaner, cheaper, domestic sources of energy."[2] The organization works in conjunction with environmental groups, such as the Sierra Club and automobile corporations, such as Toyota, GM, Nissan, AC Propulsion.

Multi-CAD. Multi-CAD. Multi-CAD. It is all the rage today. You hear about it on webinars. You see it flashed at user conferences. It's in many an eBook. But the more discussions I see on multi-CAD, the more I wonder if folks are really talking about the same thing. You see, there are many different facets to multi-CAD.
Today, I want to put a finer point on all of them. In this post, you'll find some definitions for different aspects of multi-CAD and learn the advantages of recent technology advances and what they mean to organizations.
Multi-CAD Part Interoperability
What is it? Multi-CAD part interoperability is simply opening a part model built in a different CAD application. For many years, this was done via neutral formats like STEP and IGES, which at times could be messy due to the differences in the geometry kernels used by different CAD applications. But today, part models built in other CAD applications can be opened in their native formats, cutting down the time spent on fixing broken imported geometry.
Why do it? So you can build downstream deliverables, like 2D drawings or NC machining toolpaths, from the part.
What's the value? Findings from my 2013 3D Collaboration and Interoperability study showed that 49% of today's engineers spend at least 4 hours a week fixing imported geometry. This advancement promises to cleanly bring in that geometry, dramatically reducing this timewaster.
Multi-CAD Assemblies
What is it? When suppliers design different parts of one product, you are bound to end up with designs in different CAD formats. The onus of cobbling together these parts lies with the product manufacturer.
In the past, there were two ways to approach this problem. With CAD, users would import models via neutral formats, fix the geometry, and then create the multi-CAD assembly. Alternatively, 3D visualization tools, which could open models in multiple CAD formats, could be used to assemble those parts.
Why do it? The concept of virtual prototyping promises to catch issues like interferences and performance issues in CAD instead of the testing lab, saving significant time and money spent on many prototypes.
What's the value? This activity happens one way or another. It's simply a matter of how much of the organization's time is spent fixing non-design problems.
Creating assemblies out of neutrally formatted models has been time intensive. Using 3D visualization tools accomplished this task. But the traditional capabilities associated with CAD, like conducting simulations, can't be done with 3D visualization tools.
Additionally, conducting assembly simulations can be seen as a 'nice-to-have' activity. If there are problems that hinder the ability to conduct those simulations, they can be dropped or forgotten.
Multi-CAD Data Management
What is it? Today's product manufacturers often use many suppliers, each of which can contribute parts to a design. Traditionally, Product Data Management (PDM) systems have managed design data in only one format. Multi-CAD data management is the use of Product Data Management (PDM) for designs regardless of the format in which the design data exists.
Why do it? Those product manufacturers don't just want to see the final state of the design, but want snapshots of it during its progression. In some industries, this is actually required to comply with regulations. Furthermore, today's CAD models contain assigned materials, part numbers, authors and much more. That information often needs to be incorporated into Bills of Materials (BOMs). Extracting this information from CAD models is another important function of PDM systems.
What's the value? Multi-CAD data management lets organizations avoid one of two distasteful options.
In the first, models in other CAD formats are simply managed as files in the PDM system. Information embedded in them is not extracted for use in BOMs. Instead, users must manually copy such information into spreadsheets.
In the second, the organization deploys multiple PDM systems, one for each major CAD format that is prevalent in their designs. This lets them extract the right information from those design models, yet there is no single source of truth across products.
Multi-CAD data management lets the organization use one PDM systems for all CAD formats.
Summary and Questions
- Multi-CAD part interoperability entails opening a part built in a different CAD application. Progressive CAD tools allow this to be done natively instead of through neutral formats.
- Multi-CAD assemblies are built from models created in many different CAD formats. Again, progressive CAD tools directly support this activity natively.
- Multi-CAD data management is when a single PDM system manages all design data, regardless of CAD format.
Are there other aspects of Multi-CAD that should be considered? Which aspect of Multi-CAD provides the most value? Which still has the furthest to progress? Sound off. Let us know what you think.
Take care. Talk soon. And thanks for reading.

MagNector - Magnetic pogo charging cable for Nexus 10
This is an authentic pogo charging cable for Nexus 10!!!
1. Fun & Convenience:
No more plugging-in to charge, just contact it to the charging port. It is more convenient via magnetic way to charge (first in the tablet PC market.) You still can power Nexus 10 while the USB port is otherwise occupied for data uses. It is fun & convenient to have MagNector to free up the USB port and charge faster.
2. Fast Charging Speed:
It can enhance charging speed by approximately 25% owing to the function of pogo-pins installed to MagNector. It also allows charging while on playing a game and let you start the device immediately even when the battery became full drained. (Please remember that its charging speed is the very optimal speed which may not shoten the battery lifetime.)
3. Durable USE:
In normal USB use, plugging and unplugging everyday can increase the chance of physical failure of USB port and this is main cause for repair for devices such as mobile phones, computers and tablet PCs. MagNector has an everlasting use without physically damaging the port as it doesn't need plugging/unplugging for charge. Permanent (rare earth) magnet is key part of it for long lasting use.
It has an OVP(Over Voltage Protector) chip installed so that protects the Nexus 10 from damage caused by multiple power sources supplied simultaneously. It is a magnetically attached power cable so that in case someone trips over the cord it detaches safely and protects the device from an accidental fall.
* MagnectorTM is patent-based product designed and made in Korea. It has been selected as world-class product of Korea by Korean governmental body for its unique method of connect, replacing plugging and manufacturer's high standard works with global IT giants.
Cable Length: 4ft (1.2 m)
Cable Type: Nexus 10 POGO pin connect to the USB input on the power charging adapter
How to Use
1. Connect the USB end of MagNector cable into the USB input on the original power charging adapter (DC 5V output).
2. Simply attach the MagNecor pogo pin head to the Nexus 10 pogo connect.
Please use the Nexus 10 original power charging adaptor to get a maximum charging speed.
MagNector N10 is solely designed for a fast and safe charging Nexus 10. Thus, it may not transfer data and audio/video signal.
A power charging adapter is not included in a package.
MagNector contains a magnet on its head. Although MagNector is designed not to cause any data loss on magnetic media such as floppy disks, credit cards, magnetic I.D cards, cassette tapes, video tapes or other such devices, you should also be aware that it may cause data loss when brought into close contact with them. This does not apply to your Nexus 10 because it contains a solid state hard drive, which is not susceptible to magnetic fields.
MagNector Customer Service Center
If you have any question about the item, please ask us first before buying it.

(hidden for your protection)
Let's talk about two tenuously related stories about government filings, why not. I don't have much to say about this Mitt Romney Bain thing today but go read it, it is fascinating. Basically Mitt Romney certified under penalty of perjury in some federal electoral forms* that he was not involved with Bain Capital after 1999, and he also certified under penalty of perjury in some SEC forms that he was CEO of Bain Capital from 1999 to 2002, so by the fallacy of the excluded middle (?) he is definitely guilty of a federal felony,** which sounds terrible until you realize that so is everyone else, really, because breathing air is a federal felony, but this is a different obsession of mine.
Anyway Dan Primack is defending Romney and basically saying "being the CEO of some old fund for SEC filing purposes is not the same thing as actually running a private equity firm, and you can tell from the fund marketing documents that he wasn't actually running it," which I suspect is roughly correct as a matter of his working life, and as a matter of acquitting him of felonies, though also not entirely politically palatable – "when I said I wasn't involved with Bain Capital after 1999, I meant except for being CEO," etc. etc.
Moving on quickly to the other piece of federal filing arcana: Bill Ackman is buying some P&G stock so he can sell shampoo at Burger King or something. Buy! Or sell! Or something. But the weird thing to me was: how often do you see a story that is like "activist investor is granted early termination on HSR filing"? Is "never" the right answer? Maybe?
Mr. Ackman's move became known via the Federal Trade Commission, which gave Mr. Ackman's hedge fund antitrust clearance to proceed with the investment. Moves by activists are usually made known by filings to the Securities and Exchange Commission. Buying enough stock to require a quick SEC filing—5%—would cost about $8.8 billion.
Right? The ur-form of this story is "Ackman files Schedule 13D with the SEC disclosing a 6% stake in P&G," or whatever, and you don't have that here. The Journal says "It's unclear how much P&G stock Mr. Ackman's hedge fund, Pershing Square Capital Management LP, has bought or whether the stake is large enough to persuade other shareholders his efforts are credible. People familiar with the matter said the stake was 'large,'" and I guess we should believe them since they're familiar with the matter, but the stake could be "zero" for all we know from the antitrust filing – the filing just lets him buy more than $68.2mm of P&G stock.
This led me down a stupid rabbithole. You can actually go to the FTC's web site and read the early termination of HSR review that Ackman got; it is pretty short and dull so good eye whatever trader and/or journalist spotted it. But there's a search box so, also, go search. Search for other recent activist situations and you will find … well, I definitely didn't find any early termination for Dan Loeb's investment in Yahoo; I found one for Carl Icahn's investment in Forest Labs but it's from a week after he announced that investment in an SEC filing. The FTC announces all early terminations of antitrust reviews on its website; if you file for review and don't request early termination, on the other hand, then the review expires after 30 days and is not publicly announced. (The company, though, finds out when you file.)
So there is let's say no uniformity of activist hedge funds getting announced publicized clearance before buying their stakes. Which, if you were just a regular human, you might say: "well but why does Bill Ackman need antitrust approval to buy stock in P&G? Is he building some sort of horrible shampoo-burger monopoly?" And the answer is: it does seem weird doesn't it? Here are some lawyers who will tell you:
Normally, a fund holding 10 percent or less of the outstanding voting securities with passive intent can take advantage of of an "investment exemption" to the filing and clearance requirement. However, where a fund is acting with other than a passive intent, as would likely be the case if the fund intends to seek to effect change in the policies of the target company, it is likely such exemption will not be available. This requires a filing with the U.S. regulatory authorities and formal notification to the target company, which means that the target company will become aware of the fund's ownership position at the $56.7 million level and the fund will have to clear the HSR waiting period (typically up to 30 days after filing with the regulatory authorities) before the fund can purchase shares which would result in ownership exceeding the $56.7 million threshold.
Here is another lawyer who will tell you that that is kind of bullshit: these are antitrust filings, and "it is unlikely that speech by a hedge fund or other investor will result in anticompetitive effects." Dan Loeb's investment in Yahoo did not give Yahoo a monopoly on educational fraud.***
If you're an activist hedge fund, then, your choices are basically:
(1) Don't file for HSR, claim you're just buying for investment purposes, and then if you happen to find out that the CEO has a fake degree, how can you not bring it to the board's attention? This is maybe a little risky if the FTC determines that you actually had an activist intent, but avoids the whole mess of pissing off the company before you've bought your stock.
(2) File for HSR, request early termination, and announce to the world (and to P&G) that you're planning to buy stock before you do – at some cost to yourself (PG is up 3.75% today).
(3) File for HSR, not request early termination, and announce only to the company and not the world that you're planning to buy stock – at the cost of waiting 30 days before you buy.****
These are sort of lame choices aren't they? Much like the securities laws, the antitrust laws in theory protect consumers but in practice are often used to protect companies from investors whose views they don't want to hear. P&G and Ackman so far seem cordial, but I'm sure P&G appreciated the early warning from the FTC that an activist investor was snooping around their stock. I also suspect Ackman didn't appreciate having to show his hand early. What's less clear is why consumers of shampoos or burgers, or an antitrust regulator charged with protecting them, would care one way or the other.
Mitt Romney stayed at Bain 3 years longer than he stated [Boston Globe]

* Also commercials but those are not subject to perjury.
** Thank God for the statute of limitations, Romney maybe said. ALSO: half of people talking about this are like "if he lied on his election financial disclosure forms, he committed a felony," and the other half are like "if he lied on his SEC forms, he committed a felony," but: OBVS BOTH.
*** Or Internet search HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
**** Of course this oversimplifies: you can just buy synthetically using swaps or deep-in-the-money options, file for HSR, wait thirty days, and when the waiting period expires poof your swaps or options into actual shares. This is a good approach and probably the real reason you rarely see these early terminations: if you buy synthetically, you don't need the public disclosure of an early termination unless you're in a hurry to get shares. Because, for instance, there's a vote or a dividend coming up.

Casey Kasem Career Retrospective
Legendary DJ and radio personality Casey Kasem passed away on Sunday. He was 82. Kasem had been suffering from Lewy Body Disease, a form of dementia, and was placed on end of life measures by his daughter following a ruling by a Los Angeles judge earlier in the week to let her do so.
As we remember Kasem, take a look back at the career of this radio and television icon.
Pictured: Kasem appeared on the "American Top 40 Live" show in Los Angeles on this April 24, 2005. Next
Kasem began his career in radio in Flint, Mich. in the mid-1950's before being drafted in the US Army during the Korean War. While stationed in Korea, Kasem worked as a DJ for the Armed Forces Radio Korea Network, Upon his return to the states, Kasem worked for a variety of radio stations around the country before launching his famed "American Top 40" program in 1970. Next
Kasem would become a household name during the 1970s and 1980s for his weekly "American Top 40" radio show, which featured a countdown of each week's top songs. From Michael Jackson to The Moody Blues, a ton of big named artists have appeared on Kasem's radio show. Next
By the early 1980's, "American Top 40" was syndicated to over 520 stations within the United States. Kasem left the program in 1988 and was replaced with Shadoe Stevens. Kasem would return to the program in 1998 for another lengthy run before being replaced by Ryan Seacrest in 2004.
Pictured: Radio station MIX 98.5 hosted Casey Kasem (right) on the Joe Martelle (left) and Jody Winchester morning program. Next
Kasem earned many honors for his career in radio. In 1985, he was inducted into the National Association of Broadcasters Hall of Fame and in 1992 he was inducted into the Museum of Broadcast Communication's Hall of Fame.
Pictured: Bruce Dumont, president of the Museum of Broadcast Communication, far left, stood with inductees into the museum's Hall of Fame in Chicago on Sunday, Nov. 15, 1992. From left are; ABC radio pioneer Leonard Goldenson, country music's Porter Wagoner, Detroit radio personality J.P. McCarthy, and "Top 40" host Casey Kasem. Also participating in the ceremony is Paul Harvey, far right. Next
In addition to his famed radio program, Kasem also earned acclaim for his voice-acting abilities. Kasem provided the voice for Batman's sidekick Robin in the animated series "Super Friends," however, he's probably most well known as Shaggy Rogers in the hit animated series Scooby-Doo. Next
Kasem wasn't shy of being in front of the camera either. The radio legend has had plenty of notable cameos on film and television, including brief appearances in "Ghostbusters," "Hawaii Five-O," and "Saved by the Bell." Next
While Kasem shied away from the spotlight in his later years, he made brief apperances on programs like "American Top 40 Live" as well as his daughter Kerri's podcast. Kasem unfortunately made the news in 2013 after being diagnosed with Lewy Body Disease. The public spat between his wife Jean and his children over who would care for him made headlines this past May, casting a shadow on his final months. His children eventually gained custody over Kasem, but were forced to make the tough choice to place him on end of life measures until his passing on Father's Day, June 15.
Pictured: Kasem posed for photographers after receiving the Radio Icon award during The 2003 Radio Music Awards in Las Vegas on Oct. 27, 2003. Back to the beginning

Hi! My name is Faith and I'm 18 years old. I'm new to this site, but I hope to get to know a lot of you soon! I have always loved horses for as long as I can remember.
I live in West Virginia with my mom, and I go to my dads in Dayton, Ohio in the summer usually. If you live in the area send me a message =] of course, even if you don't live near me, still send me a message, I love having pen pals that I can talk to about horses and learn more things.
Though I don't own a horse, I've always wanted one. I seem to love really tall and big horses the best. Like drafts horses. I don't know why. I guess its because, if I have a connection with that horse, it makes me feel more protected, safe and in charge lol. My dream horses are Friesians, Gypsy's, and Clydesdales.
Though I expect for my first horse I should not have such a giant horse huh? Lol I do not know when I will get my first horse, but I try to take horse lessons as often as I can. It gets expensive, so I like to try to ride with friends. However, after high school, most of my friends have moved away to college, so therefore I don't really have any horse friends anymore. I figured I should join a horse forum, to make up for some of the lost time and at the same time, be still learning more about horses.
Horses are my escape to everyday stressful life. They are what make me feel free and happy. They keep me steady and give me compassion beyond words. I couldn't ask for anything better than that. I only wish to keep that going, and maybe somehow repay them for helping my fun personality truly show.

Out-law.com reports on comments made by Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) Group Manager for Business and Industry Dave Evans. Businesses should now "know they have to respond to the law," said Evans. The comments come after one web software firm taunted the ICO about cookie compliance. For noncompliant businesses, Evans said, "It might be a law they wish didn't exist, but the simple fact is that it is here to stay," adding, "for example, some sites have failed to engage with us at all, and they're now being set a deadline to take steps towards compliance, with formal enforcement action likely if they fail to meet this deadline." Editor's Note: For the latest on EU cookie consent implementation, see the Field Fisher Waterhouse chart, Cookie 'consent' rule: EU implementation, in the IAPP Resource Center.

Even for investors who don't care for some of the more statistical elements of the stock market, it is getting increasingly difficult to ignore the impressive winning streak for the Dow Jones industrial average.
The blue-chip index has risen for nine straight days, marking the longest streak since 1996. And if it holds early gains on Thursday, that will mark the tenth day of gains – eight of which have produced record-high closes.
Winning streaks make a lot of noise in the world of baseball, and it is often tempting to apply a similar analysis to the market – in a forward-looking way. For the bears, it is tempting to believe that there will a day of reckoning when the streak ends, with a sharp decline. And the bulls no doubt entertain the possibility that the streak is a set-up for the next leg of the bull market.
The truth is probably far less interesting. Indeed, the winning streak is likely no less important than winning consecutive coin tosses and then mulling over the implications.
Bespoke Investment Group has crunched the numbers for the nine-day streak, to get a glimpse of what the future holds. The patterns are far from impressive.
According to their numbers, there have been 24 prior winning streaks of nine days or more for the Dow in the post-war period, and 11 of them (or 46 per cent) have gone on to at least a tenth day. So, another coin toss.
As for the longer-term, the Dow has averaged a gain of 0.5 per cent over the following week, with gains 64 per cent of the time; an average gain of 0.4 per cent over the following month, with gains 52 per cent of the time; and an average gain of 2.5 per cent over the following three months, with gains 68 per cent of the time.
In other words, the period following an extraordinary winning streak for the Dow has been anything but extraordinary. However, here's one stat that jumps out: The current winning streak, according to Bespoke, has driven the Dow up 2.85 per cent over the previous nine sessions. That is the weakest in terms of percentage gains since 1964.
Meanwhile, investors might soon be turning their attention to a far more significant statistic: The broader S&P 500, which is far more reflective of the equities landscape than the 30-member Dow, is just five points away from hitting a new record high.

In fact A&Rs love it when the artist can't talk
Lyric Meaning
Labels prefer artists they can control and manipulate. The A&R guy is the direct liaison between the record company and the artist, but he represents the record company and its interest to market and profit off of the artist's image and work. So the A&R people will always prefer a pliant and supple artist who is willing to be lead, not a critically minded, intelligent, outspoken and independent person. If that's the image they're after, they'll let the artist that knows how to do it. Otherwise, the artist could be in breach of contract.

As CBS and all of the sports-related networks preview Sunday's Super Bowl 50, invariably there will be plenty of attention paid to the first one, played Jan. 15, 1967, at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum.
That first game was actually called the AFL-NFL World Championship Game. The Packers defeated the Chiefs 35-10 before far less than a sellout crowd.
Bart Starr and Max McGee hooked up for two touchdown passes and Elijah Pitts ran for two scores.
But if the old NFL Films' footage is shown, you might want to see if you can find the field judge wearing No. 16. If you do, you'll be getting a glimpse of a Lehigh Valley legend in action.

A judge has issued an arrest warrant for disgraced and disbarred Stan Chesley, once "Master of Disaster" of tort cases and a key figure in the Kentucky fen-phen scandal [Cincinnati Business Journal, Cincinnati Enquirer]
Posts Tagged 'Stan Chesley'
Stanley Chesley: the sequel
Disbarred in Kentucky, disgraced in the eyes of many onetime admirers, the veteran mass tort lawyer does not seem to have been disgraced in the eyes of the Cincinnati city council: it just unanimously appointed him to the city's Human Relations Commission. [WCPO, earlier, background and on Kentucky fen-phen scandal).
"Stan Chesley: How a Single Case Dethroned the 'King of Torts'"
Four-part series on rise and fall of front-rank mass tort lawyer Stan Chesley [WCPO]
Part one: How Chesley, born in modest circumstances in Cincinnati, helped pave the way for modern mass tort law by suing dozens upon dozens of defendants — in particular, makers of furnishings and furniture — over the Beverly Hills Supper Club nightclub fire (scroll for more). Advice from Robert Gettys, the only lawyer to hold out and beat Chesley in that case: "Don't listen to his B.S."
Part two: "in a 2004 interview, Chesley estimated his firm had recovered nearly $7 billion for clients since he began doing mass tort litigation in the 1970s."
Part three: he dishes out generously to both Democratic and Republican parties in Ohio, as well as to philanthropies that subsequently undergo embarrassment when the Kentucky Supreme Court finds Chesley "engaged in conduct involving dishonesty, fraud, deceit, or misrepresentation following the initial distribution of client funds and concealed unethical handling of client funds by others."
Part four: "Chesley's friends call his professional demise a 'personal tragedy.' But his detractors call him a bully who manipulates the media to help his causes. Plenty of local lawyers dislike him. Most, however, declined to be quoted. That's partly because, although he's no longer practicing law, Chesley still is married to a federal judge." Also: why Jacquelyn McMurtry, a fen-phen claimant who attended the civil trial over fee finagling in the Kentucky case, doesn't share the opinion of settlement guru Kenneth Feinberg that Chesley was somehow the victim of others' fraud.
Kentucky disbars Stan Chesley
We told you the Kentucky fen-phen scandal — which we've been covering since 2005 — was serious. Now it's resulted in the permanent revocation of the Kentucky license to practice of famed "Master of Disaster" tort specialist Stanley Chesley, whose office is across the river in Cincinnati, Ohio. Two lawyers who directly represented fen-phen clients in Kentucky, "Shirley Cunningham Jr. and William Gallion, are serving prison sentences for bilking clients out of $94 million in settlement money." While Chesley did not represent Cunningham's or Gallion's clients, and denied holding any legal responsibility toward them, he accepted a $20 million fee, far in excess of negotiated sums, for representing the lawyers themselves in the settlement that brought in the cash, a sum that "was unreasonable, especially in light of his professed ignorance and lack of responsibility for any aspect of the litigation except showing up at the mediation and going through the motions of announcing the agreement," the Kentucky Supreme Court concluded. Chesley participated in the diversion of the pilfered funds into a trust (pleasantly named "Kentucky Fund for Healthy Living") intended to conceal the skimming, and helped orchestrate the lawyers' cover-up. Wrote the court: "The vast amount of evidence compiled and presented in this matter demonstrates convincingly that respondent knowingly participated in a scheme to skim millions of dollars in excess attorney's fees from unknowing clients." [ABA Journal; court order, PDF; Louisville Courier-Journal; Daniel Fisher, Forbes; David Lat, Above the Law]
Three lawyers depart embattled Chesley's firm
Among the departing lawyers are those representing the state of Ohio in a public employee retirement fund-led class action; the state may not appreciate the fallout from Chesley's efforts to fight disbarment in Kentucky over the fen-phen scandal. [Cincinnati Enquirer] Many of the one-time "Master of Disaster's" bipartisan political ties, however, remain cozy:
Chesley noted that Hamilton County [= Cincinnati] Prosecutor Joe Deters, who has worked for Chesley as a private attorney for four years, continues to work at the firm.
Deters also works as a private attorney for the new firm created by Chesley's former lawyers. Deters, a leader in Hamilton County's Republican Party, praises Chesley, who has helped raise millions for Democrats…

Loose Canons
Brownie, You're Doing a Heck of a Job
Another Serfin' Safari courtesy of the disastrous UN.
Just what is wrong with you people? No matter how much time, trouble and federal tax money your betters expend trying to pound sense into your heads, you can't seem to absorb the most basic of political lessons. Why can't you understand that unreformed Talibans deserve a Yale education, why global warming is a bigger threat than terrorism, or why the UN is the last, best hope of mankind? All of you, especially those who live in Middle America, should pay more attention to the greats who walk among us such as UN Deputy Secretary General Mark Malloch Brown.
Brown's patience with us is running out. But, like the UN gave Saddam another last chance and another and another, Brown is giving us one. A couple of weeks ago, Amb. John Bolton suggested that at the end of this year, when Kofi Annan leaves, his hand-picked staffers should leave with him. Sounds pretty reasonable. When Al Capone left, Frank Nitti, Ralph "Bottles" Capone and Jake "Greasy Thumb" Grizik also, ah, left. Last week, in apparent response to Bolton's comment, Brown went on a safari to preach to the ignorant serfs he believes make up America.
In a speech to a bunch of UN supporters, Brown delivered himself of the opinion that because the Bush administration is seeking to use the UN as a diplomatic tool, it has a duty to defend it against American critics, saying that if Bush didn't, "You will lose the UN one way or another." As if we had it to begin with. Brown said not only that the Bush administration was failing to lobby Americans to support the UN, but that its silence was misleading America. He claimed that the UN was "constructively engaged" on everything from Lebanon to Afghanistan to Syria, Iran and the Palestinian issue. But, he said, "that is not well known or understood in part because much of the public discourse that reaches the U.S. heartland has been largely abandoned to its loudest detractors such as Rush Limbaugh and Fox News." We of The American Spectator take umbrage at having been left off that list.
The best thing that you can say about Brown's speech is that his condescension went over his audience's heads. They're Democrats, and ever eager to feel bad about America. They know that all you denizens of fly-over country don't count. You're too dumb to understand. None of them cares that you Heartlanders feed half the world and that your sons and daughters spend their lives in defense of freedom whenever they're called to do so. The UN is only concerned with rank, privilege, and expense accounts which you have a duty to sustain with the sweat of your brow. It's really a pity that when Kofi came to his pal's defense he didn't use the line perfectly suited for it: "Brownie, you're doing a heck of a job."
Brown said that the U.S., like other nations, "is beset by problems that defy national, inside-the-border solutions: climate change, terrorism, nuclear proliferation, migration, the management of the global economy, the internationalization of drugs and crime, the spread of diseases such as HIV and avian flu." And what, pray, has the UN done about any of these things? Nothing, except its best to prevent American action to solve the most important problems facing civilization. Brown thinks UN control of the U.S. action is the benefit we get: UN management of global security issues meant "the give and take of multilateral bargaining, but any dilution of American positions was more than made up for by the added clout of action that enjoyed global support." It would have been very useful for Brown to list the occasions of that support we enjoyed, because none come to mind.
Amb. Bolton -- in the first remark from him I recall disagreeing with -- demanded Brown apologize. It would be much better if Brown didn't, because what he said was obviously both sincere and heartfelt. It's time for us to take seriously what Brown said and act upon it.
Shortly after 9-11, the UN claimed jurisdiction over the problem of terrorism. And in the nearly five years since, the UN hasn't even agreed on a definition of terrorism because the terrorist regimes are members in good standing. Algore's fave, the Kyoto global warming treaty, exempts some of the world's biggest polluters (such as Communist China) and puts the burden on the U.S. economy. Nothing -- absolutely nothing -- has been done by the UN about nuclear proliferation. The UN's only achievements are scandals great and small ranging from the largest financial rip-off in history ("Oil for Food"), child abuse in the Congo (UN peacekeepers raping young girls) and the millions of dollars stolen from the training budget of the World Meteorological Association. (Apparently even the UN weathermen are crooks). When we demand action to remedy problems, nothing is done. That, to Brownie, is our fault because of "the widely held perception...that the U.S. tends to hold on to maximalist positions when it could be finding middle ground." Compromise your principles and you can do very well at the UN.
The UN budget is a horrific compilation of global pork-barreling. Its staff is at least twice the size it should be and their salaries are -- by design -- the highest of any government organization anywhere. And that's not nearly the worst of it. Our $3.5 billion in "mandatory" dues to the UN goes for such essentials as the General Assembly at which terrorists enjoy equal rights and privileges accorded civilized nations, million-dollar meetings of committees that want to create UN control of the Internet and every other anti-Western, anti-civilizational activity imaginable. We pay about another $3 billion in "voluntary" contributions to a long string of unaccountable UN agencies and to UN "peacekeeping" missions. Brownie, of course, insists that we've abandoned the UN because we're not donating even more money. "But the only government not fully supporting the project is the U.S. Too much unchecked UN-bashing and stereotyping over too many years -- manifest in a fear by politicians to be seen to be supporting better premises for overpaid, corrupt UN bureaucrats -- makes even refurbishing a building a political hot potato." Unchecked UN bashing? If he could, Brown would end UN bashing by repealing the First Amendment. Brownie wants us to repent by picking up the multi-billion-dollar tab for the reconstruction. A much better solution would be for us to pay for construction of a new UN building anywhere outside the U.S. they want it.
Mark Malloch Brown's remarks were an honest expression of his deepest beliefs. He, like the rest of the UN's overpaid diplocrats, has only disdain for Americans and everything we stand for. Enough is enough. It's time to cut off the money to the unserious, uncapable, and unaccountable UN.

Bill and Melinda must be losing money.
They are the king and queen of eugenics. The UN and WHO is their kingdom. And YOU, who want to be good parents - and your precious children are their subjects.
When an animal is born, and we are all animals - we are born with all the protections against disease we need. When I see a mass of Band-Aids, no matter how cute - plastered on babies, it makes me want to scream. Do your own research. Make yourself smart and don't listen to your schools. Take a stand. We must have a choice.
Had I to do it over again and raise a child, I would be well prepared to say NO.
If the NSA doesn't like it, too bad. Don't let the state, no matter where you live, dictate to you the mandatory vaccination of your children.
Do not waiver.
Do not quake in fear.
YOU read the insert warning that come INSIDE the box of the intended vaccine first if you can't laboriously research to make the right decision.
Don't take the word of your doctor.

HVAC Questions? Ask an HVAC Expert for Answers ASAP
Suction Pressure Problems
What is meant by suction pressure?
In an air conditioning unit cold liquid enters the
and when warm air blows over it, the liquid absorbs the heat and cools the air. This heat exchange causes the liquid change to a vapor. The vapor pressure must be controlled to allow it to flow properly to the compressor. Maintaining this suction pressure is essential to the properly functioning of the unit. Read below where suction pressure questions are answered by the Experts.
I have been told that my HVAC unit is not working because of low suction pressure and high head pressure. What does this mean and what should I do?
When you have low suction pressure and high head pressure that means the there is a restriction in the liquid line and that the evaporator is getting starved. Check to see if the unit has an expansion valve on the evaporator inlet. If it is adjustable, try to open it more. If it is not, then it is likely that the valve is defective and will need replacement. Another, although less likely cause could be a blocked liquid line drier. Check the temperature at both ends of the drier. If the exit end is colder than the entry, the drier could be clogged.
At an ambient temperature of 90 degrees the suction pressure on my air conditioner is 85 psi. The liquid line is very hot and only half the evaporator coil is cool. What is the problem?
First, make sure that your evaporator coil is clean and unblocked and that all the fans are running. If the evaporator and fans are okay, then it is likely that your TX valve is defective and may need to be replaced. This is a common occurrence.
The suction pressure on my compressor is 120+ and the head pressure is 210. But the unit is not cooling. Is the problem with the compressor?
The auction pressure is high and the discharge not normal. It should be in the range of 350 to 400. It is likely that the problem is with a compressor valve. However, if you have a big compressor fitted with unloaders, it could be that an unloader is allowing the gas to flow from the discharge to the low side.
What are the correct liquid line and suction pressure numbers when using 410-A refrigerant?
The exact numbers will be available on the manufacturers charging chart. Typically for a 40 degree indoor coil you will need 120 psi at the low end. If you want a condensing temperature of 100 degrees you will need 320 psi. Keep in mind that the high side pressure will change along with the outside air temperature. Normally you would want to have about 25 degrees above the exterior ambient temperature as the condensing temperature.
I have a Rheem R22 condenser and I cannot get more than 30 psi of suction pressure. High side is 100 psi. I did a solvent flush on the line and evaporator coil and get free nitrogen flow. I replaced the dryer and charged Freon to 12 lbs. But the suction pressure stays at 30 psi. This is an old model with no TX valve – only an orifice.
You appear to have a clog in the system which would account for your problems. Check the screen by the orifice – it may be blocked. Take the line out and clean it. Also check to see if the
is dirty and clogged. Either of these could be the cause.
Can you tell me the right head and suction pressure at an ambient temperature of about 85 degrees for a 2 ton heat pump on a packaged unit?
The head and suction pressure depends on a lot of variable like the manufacturer, ductwork static pressure, indoor temperature and so on. Having said that, for the type of unit you describe, the typical suction pressure would be around 120 to 140 psi and the head pressure would be in the 300 to 320 psi range.
Suction pressure in a HVAC unit is a very complex issue and suction pressure problems can affect how well the unit works. Because troubleshooting suction pressure issues often requires a suction pressure gauge and other special equipment, these are rarely covered in an owner's manual. If you think you have suction pressure regulator or other suction pressure problems, and your manual cannot help you to resolve them, it is advisable to get Expert help to prevent damaging the unit further while trying to fix it.

After much changes of plan (and even a change of touring partner), I'm trying to put together a tour, probably in Germany.
My friend and I went to the Black forest last spring, which was excellent.
We can fly to Stuttgart, Koln, Saltzburg (maybe), Fredrichshaven (maybe), Paderborn, Hannover, and Bremmen.
Does anyone know of any good routes near these destinations.
I'm aware of the Neckar route from Stuttgart (we did part of it last year), and the idea of going North to Heidelburg appeals, and I'm aware of the Konstanz - Konigsee route, though it might be a bit too long for the 7 days we have available (plus we're not sure if the flights are troo difficult).
I'm wondering about Bremmen, as it's cheap, and means we can get to Hamburg or maybe Berlin. But how about the others. Anyoner know of any good cycle routes around those areas?
Many thanks

text: According to book business buzz, this is the year of the cookbook. If that's so, and even if it's not, The Gourmet Cookbook is the cookbook of the year. Ruth Reichl food maven of the highest order, best-selling author and editor of Gourmet magazine and her team poured over the last 62 years of Gourmet, sorting through more than 50,000 recipes to come up with the 1,200-plus included here. I've always thought of Gourmet as the food magazine of record the place for cooks, new to the game and seasoned practitioners, to get the real deal on every food trend, the most authentic recipes, the best ideas for elegant dinner parties and easy workweek suppers. So to have this hefty (that's an understatement) tome is heaven (that's an understatement, too) for an avid cook. This isn't a history of cooking in America; Reichl's purpose was to produce "a book that wants to live in your kitchen," a book "with every recipe you could ever want." She's done it and every one of these most-wanted recipes has been tested, tasted, reworked (if needed) and retested. It's all here, from nuts to soup, hors d'oeuvres to breakfast and brunch, a multitude of main courses, desserts in scrumptious variety, salads, sauces, vegetables, bread, pizza, preserves and pickles; plus tips on how to throw an angst-free cocktail party, pit olives, cook pasta, choose chocolate, tell soba from udon and much more. If you're eager for adventure in the kitchen, this is the place to find it.

Recently in a youth ministry seminar the presenter asked the question, "How many of you feel like you have enough volunteers in your ministry?" One guy raised his hand. The rest of the room wanted to punch him in his smug, little, "I'm awesome" nose.
Because almost nobody who leads a youth group feels like they have enough volunteers, a popular discussion when we get together is sharing ideas to help persuade/recruit/guilt-trip/trick/entice folks to join our youth ministry team.
I'd like to share with you the world's easiest way to get new volunteers: JUST ASK.
Ask, ask, ask, ask, ask, ask, ask, ask, ask, ask, ask. And when you get rejected, ask.
- Bulletin announcements are fine, but not as good as an ask.
- The senior pastor pleading from the pulpit is great, but not as good as an ask.
- A youth ministry booth at the annual ministry fair is fun, but not as good as an ask.
Who should you ask? Everybody. If there is an adult who loves Jesus and likes teenagers, ask.
Who should do the asking? You, your current volunteers, your students. Believe it or not, the most effective asks usually come not from the "paid spokesperson" (you), but from the "satisfied customers" (current volunteers and students). When a teenager approaches an adult and asks if he/she would be willing to help out in their youth group, it's tough to turn down. When a current volunteer tells a peer that serving in the youth group is rewarding and worth the time commitment, it makes a powerful statement.
Don't say somebody else's "no." I first heard this from Bill Hybels. Too often we assume somebody is too busy, uninterested etc. so we say "no" on their behalf without ever actually asking them to serve. Don't assume. Don't say somebody else's "no."
There are probably more people in your church willing to work with students than you think. You just have to ask!
Kurt Johnston leads the student ministries team at Saddleback Church in Southern California. His ministry of choice, however, is junior high, where he spends approximately 83.4 percent of his time.

Can Cloud Computing Be Regulated? Join The Debate
The year 2012 is close to an end, but the world is yet to find an answer to a question which has been there for last couple of years—Can cloud computing be regulated? The need of regulation—a much talked about but unsettled question—comes up whenever a new cloud service steps into the world.
In a stage when our lifestyle is becoming controlled by smart tools and technologies, we can hardly ignore the value of cloud computing. In fact, we find it tough to imagine our daily life without the cloud technology. This ever-growing acceptance and impact of cloud computing makes the Silicon Valley consider bringing regulations to cloud hosting services. In order to define the guidelines and to control who is not complying with the regulations, a global regulatory body for the cloud is needed. Recently, the European Union took the initiative to create a regulatory body to control cloud computing. But what are the pros and cons of cloud regulations?
1. The world has seen how the EU waited two years before welcoming cloud computing, in the fear of safety and security issues. Once a global cloud monitor is there, people will not think twice before embracing the cloud. We can assume that a proper regulatory board will act as an instant stimulating factor for the popularity of cloud computing services.
2. So far, there is no certification for core cloud services. With the establishment of a regulatory board, inevitably, organizational certifications like ISO are likely to set a standard for the service providers. Those certifications must include primary factors like legal, privacy, and security issues.
1. Regulations may bring higher costs and more complex solutions. Right now, cloud services can be accessed even for free. But once the whole business will come under guidelines and regulations, an increase in service cost cannot be avoided. That may put countries like Greece in trouble as they are struggling hard to cope with the economic downtime.
2. Checkbox mentality will grow and the free spirit will be eliminated from the domain of cloud computing. Right now, the innovations are happening because of the freedom. Once this is restricted, service will become automatized.
