Members of the news media can take a look at two replicas of Christopher Columbus' sailing ships in advance of the public taking tours.
The "Pinta" and the "Nina" are scheduled to dock Thursday at the Sanitary Fish Restaurant in Morehead City. They'll remain there until their departure on May 5.
The "Nina" was built by hand. The "Pinta" was recently built in Brazil and is a larger version of the archetypal caravel.
While in port, the general public is invited to visit the ships for a walk-aboard, self-guided tour. Admission charges are $8.00 for adults, $7.00 for seniors and $6.00 for students ages 5 to 16. Children aged 4 and under are free.

Dennis Kelly has surgery, out for preseason
There is no data to display.
Eagles tackle Dennis Kelly underwent surgery Monday to repair a disc in his back and is expected out for the remainder of the preseason. (USA Today Images)
Eagles offensive tackle Dennis Kelly, who started 10 games last year as a rookie, is out for the rest of the preseason and perhaps longer after undergoing back surgery.
Kelly, who figured to be first off the bench this season at tackle, said he underwent surgery Monday to have the L2 disc repaired and expects to be back for the season opener.
Although recovery times can vary from case to case, the 23-year-old Kelly said he's optimistic that his rehab won't linger into the regular season.
"I'm moving pretty well, although it doesn't look like it," Kelly said as he gingerly shoehorned his 6-foot-8, 321-pound frame into a black SUV before exiting the NovaCare Complex.
The Eagles have not yet officially announced Kelly's status.
The recent absences in practice of Kelly and starting left tackle Jason Peters has thrown journeyman Allen Barbre into the first-team mix. Barbre has taken significant reps at left tackle lately and will probably start there Friday night in the preseason opener against the Patriots.
The 29-year-old Barbre, a fourth-year pro who can also play guard, has played for three other NFL teams and has started seven career games. All seven came in 2009 with Green Bay.
Kelly, the Purdue product, played in 13 games last year after being picked in the fifth round, 153rd overall. He made his first start at right guard in place of an injured Danny Watkins and eventually moved to right tackle, replacing an injured Todd Herremans.
Kelly said his back flared up last year, although he didn't know the origin of the injury. He had hoped it would subside in the offseason, but he started feeling the pain again during camp and decided to have the procedure done while he can still recover in time for the season.

Introducing Donald Sutton: Director of Corporate and Foundation Relations
Published in Inside - Volume IV, No. 5
Prior to his work at Restoration, Sutton's involvement in development and management included a wide range of educational and artistic urban projects. He was director of development for the establishment of the Detroit Museum of African American Culture and History, the largest of its kind in the world. He spent nine years as assistant vice president and vice president of economic development for the New York State Urban Development Corporation. With the Urban Development Corporation, he worked on the 42nd Street Redevelopment Project, handling primarily the cultural facilities. "I also supervised the renovation of the Apollo Theatre and the National Black Theatre," Sutton noted.
For a time, Sutton was a personal manager to performers such as Ossie Davis, Ruby Dee, Savion Glover, Teddy Predergas, and Ntozake Shange, and worked independently with major networks and entertainment companies. He has a double bachelor's degree in history and drama from Elmhurst College, a master's in fine arts in stage directing from Catholic University, and an MBA in marketing and operations management from Fordham University. Additionally, Sutton has a broad background in working with performing arts companies and was executive director and vice president of the Alvin Ailey Dance Company.
"I have been involved in educational issues in many of these assignments," Sutton noted. "I took the Ailey Dance Center through the accreditation process to make it a college. I did the same with the Dance Theatre of Harlem." Sutton also worked to raise money for technology education and collaborated with the Institute for Learning Technologies at TC, which consulted on the design and direction of Restoration's facility.
"People are starting to conclude that what we accomplish in education will determine how this country goes," Sutton said, when asked why Teachers College interested him. "We can achieve participatory democracy, and education will be the key. I find that very attractive."
Sutton is originally from New Orleans, and, as the son of a military man, traveled at age five with his family to Germany. Though he lived in Europe and Chicago throughout his youth, he has spent most of his adult life living on the upper west side of Manhattan. He recently moved to Monroe, New Jersey, with his wife, Donna, who works in the alumni relations office at New York University.previous page

This spell is a Human Transfiguration spell that transfigures a human into a bat.

Has anyone took their bike on a trip with them? How'd you do it? I'm lookin for ideas that don't involve shipping it over. *Note: Airplane travel not car*
Has anyone took their bike on a trip with them? How'd you do it? I'm lookin for ideas that don't involve shipping it over. *Note: Airplane travel not car*
Every passing minute is another chance to turn it all around.
Hard bike case. Some airlines charge you up to fifty bucks to fly it with you in the belly of the plane.
Check this out. http://wheelandsprocket.com/page.cfm?pageID=777
Trico case or snag a box from the dumpster at a bike shop.
Two wheels good. Four wheels bad.
good folding bike. you could even buy it overseas where the selection and possibly prices are better, use it, and bring it back with you.
It's going to cost you each way, depending on the airline, $80-$100. Airlines have now cut back on baggage allowed---most are now limiting checked bags to 1 bag per person, unless you ride first class. And, there's a size and weight limit to those bags---anything over will be assessed a similar fee.
It might be cheaper to ship.
Feminism is the profound notion that women are human beings.
Another vote for folding bikes. I bought mine in Beijing (a Dahon), brought it down to Shanghai with me, and have taken it on trips to Calgary, Toronto and Singapore. Never been charged, and it's a pretty fun bike to ride, too...
Edit: and it cost me less than US$200, too... definitely saved money over paying to fly with a full-sized bike everywhere.
My Bike and I are visiting my folks right now. A Trico Iron Case protects my bike, but when asked at the counter, I tell them it's a prototype wheelchair. They never question it.
search the database. TONS of info on it.
additionally, you can check out this current thread.
but is it sporting?

Evaluation of a Potato Leafhopper (PLH) Resistant Alfalfa Cultivar Effects on PLH Injury in Alfalfa: Grass mixed stands with and without insecticide 2003
Download the entire report in pdf format (120k)
Project Leaders: J. Keith Waldron, NYS IPM Program; Elson J. Shields,Cornell Dept. of Entomology; Julie L. Hansen, Cornell Dept. of Plant Breeding; Donald R. Viands, Cornell Dept. of Plant Breeding.
Cooperator: Jerry Cherney, Cornell Dept. Crop and Soil Science.
Type of Grant: Pest-resistant crops
Abstract: The combination of a resistant cultivar and a grass resulted in significantly better PLH control than did the resistant cultivar alone or the grass alone. The resistant cultivar had 36% fewer PLH than the susceptible cultivar; however, the number of PLH was significantly higher than for the plots that were sprayed with insecticide (average less than 1 PLH per sub-plot). The untreated plot with the lowest PLH damage score was the resistant alfalfa/grass mixture (score = 1.8), whereas the resistant cultivar alone scored 2.4 and the susceptible cultivar alone and with grass averaged 3.5.

National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), United States
The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) is the federal agency responsible for conducting research and making recommendations for the prevention of work-related injury and illness. NIOSH is part of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in the Department of Health and Human Services.
NIOSH Origins and Mission
The Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 (OSH Act) created both NIOSH and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). OSHA is in the U.S. Department of Labor and is responsible for developing and enforcing workplace safety and health regulations. NIOSH is in the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and is an agency established to help assure safe and healthful working conditions for men and women by providing research, information, education, and training in the field of occupational safety and health.
Information pertaining to the responsibilities of NIOSH are found in Section 22 of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 (29 CFR § 671). The Institute is authorized to:
- Develop recommendations for occupational safety and health standards;
- Perform all functions of the Secretary of Health and Human Services under Sections 20 and 21 of the Act
- Conduct Research on Worker Safety and Health (Section 20)
- Conduct Training and Employee Education (Section 21)
- Develop information on safe levels of exposure to toxic materials and harmful physical agents and substances;
- Conduct research on new safety and health problems;
- Conduct on-site investigations (Health Hazard Evaluations) to determine the toxicity of materials used in workplaces (42 CFR Parts 85 and 85a); and
- Fund research by other agencies or private organizations through grants, contracts, and other arrangements.
The Federal Mine Safety and Health Amendments Act of 1977 delegated additional authority to NIOSH for coal mine health research. The mine health and safety law authorized NIOSH to:
- Develop recommendations for mine health standards for the Mine Safety and Health Administration;
- Administer a medical surveillance program for miners, including chest X-rays to detect pneumoconiosos (black lung disease) in coal miners;
- Conduct on-site investigations in mines similar to those authorized for general industry under the OSH Act; and
- Test and certify personal protective equipment and hazard-measurement instruments.
NIOSH provides national and world leadership to prevent work-related illness, injury, disability, and death by gathering information, conducting scientific research, and translating the knowledge gained into products and services. NIOSH's mission is critical to the health and safety of every American worker.
Each day, an average of 9,000 U.S. workers sustain disabling injuries on the job, 16 workers die from an injury suffered at work, and 137 workers die from work-related diseases. The Liberty Mutual 2005 Workplace Safety Index estimates that employers spent $50.8 billion in 2003 on wage payments and medical care for workers hurt on the job.

The Obama administration is promising to make BP foot the bill for the massive Gulf Coast oil spill, but it may not be as simple as it sounds.
Foreseeing a new outbreak of bailout rage, the president's been adamant BP will be handed the bill. The administration is keeping track of cleanup costs.
But while the law passed after the Exxon Valdez spill makes the oil company liable for cleanup costs, it sets a cap of $75 million for other kinds of damage. The damage to Gulf fishermen, the tourist trade and other industries is likely to go well beyond that.
Some lawmakers have introduced a bill to raise the limit to 10 billion, but that would not apply retroactively.
Meanwhile, the tentacles of the Gulf of Mexico oil spill could reach beyond the coast to just about anyone who drinks coffee, eats shrimp, likes bananas or plans to buy tires.
The slick has forced the shutdown of the gulf's rich fishing grounds and could spread to the busy shipping lanes, tying up the cargo vessels and driving up the price of many commodities.
Though a total shutdown of the shipping lanes is unlikely, there could be long delays if vessels are forced to wait to have their oil-coated hulls power-washed to avoid contaminating the Mississippi.
Some cargo ships might choose to unload somewhere else in the U.S. That could drive up costs.
Scientists say the oil spill could reach the Loop Current in a day. Experts say it's similar to a "conveyor belt," sweeping around the Gulf.
If that happens, it likely will end up in the Florida Keys and continue east into the Gulf Stream. An oceanographer at the University of Miami says the oil could affect Florida's beaches, coral reefs, fisheries and ecosystem within a week.

Collecting memorabilia has been a passion for Auburn resident Tommy Trasport since childhood.
Trasport calls it "picking" and over the years he has amassed an assortment of treasures that provide a pretty good snapshot of life in the 1950s and '60s.
"(They appeal to) people who are my age and want stuff they had when they were growing up – toys, pictures, phonographs, cigarette lighters," he said.
The hobby began when his family was packing up belongings to move from Pennsylvania to Los Angeles, where Trasport's father had purchased a fish and chips franchise.
"I said I wanted to go through the attic before we left and I found some old picture frames up there," he said.
During his teen years he'd search through castoffs and yard sales to find items to refurbish and resell. His method of searching for collectibles is much the same today.
"Mostly I buy from people I meet who have things for sale in their houses," he said. If the store doesn't have something a customer is looking for, he'll find it, Trasport added.
Now he and his brother Lou Trasport have opened Trasport's Vintage Collectables & Thrift store in Auburn. Lou Trasport, who enjoys making things, used packing pallets to build a number of the display tables for the inventory.
One of the items on display in the store is a 1950s-era Disney record player with a picture of Mickey Mouse. It plays 45 rpm records and there's a stack of them for sale, too. Nearby is a 1940s slide projector, still in good working order, with circular picture disks of Yellowstone, Bugs Bunny and Tweety Bird. A hi fi from the 1960s fills the store with music from '60s and '70s LPs. A rack of comic books in the back includes some with certificates of authenticity.
One wall holds a display of lanterns of varying age. There's a collection of 1950s' Grenadier cream sherry decanters. There are fishing lures and duck decoys.
"I love everything in the store," Tommy Trasport said. "I have to like it or I wouldn't buy it."
Grass Valley residents John and Leray Kindelsperger, who are also collectors, are among the visitors who stop in to browse.
"It's actually quite different and I love it," Leray said about the store.
Her husband agreed.
"It's the first time I've seen a vintage store (that offered) coffee and cookies," he said. "The thing about this shop is it is dusted and clean. It looks like they care about the collection."
The store also offers a little bit of personal history. Near the cash register are two photographs of Tommy Trasport standing with a dance partner and dressed in a suit reminiscent of the movie "Saturday Night Fever."
It was taken at the high point of his time as a competitive dancer in the disco days when he won first prize in the syndicated TV contest Dance Fever in 1979. He competed against dancers from across the nation in an elimination-format show. The grand prize was $25,000.
"It was sort of like 'American Idol' is today," he said.
Trasport's dancing career included two appearances on the Merv Griffin TV show and a performance as an opening act at Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas.
As a picker, one of Trasport's most memorable finds was a Tiffany lamp he purchased at a yard sale – although he didn't realize the value of what he had until later.
"It had 16 tulips on it. It looked like fireworks going off," he said.
It wasn't until a piece of glass fell off and had to be replaced that he learned it was a Tiffany lamp. He ended up selling for many times what he paid for it, he said.
In addition to "picking," the brothers enjoy hunting and fishing. In fact, that's what brought them to Auburn.
"It reminded us of home in Pennsylvania," Lou Trasport said.
Both brothers work at Magnussen's Auburn Toyota. Tommy Trasport is in sales and Lou Trasport is the Internet manager. The store is within view of the dealership parking lot.
One of Tommy Trasport's favorite TV programs is "American Pickers."
"That's me to a T," he said. "We find beauty in old stuff."

By: Jenée Desmond-Harris Posted: March 16 2011 12:47 PM 0 Al Sharpton (T.J. Kilpatrick/Getty Images) Black America Web reports that the Rev. Al Sharpton joined 250 union workers and supporters at a rally urging New Haven, Conn., Mayor John DeStefano to negotiate with the city's unions in a fight that he likened to the civil rights battles of the 1960s. By refusing to negotiate, New Haven labor leaders say, DeStefano has denied workers the right to collective bargaining. "We will stay in the streets until you come to the table," Sharpton said on Monday at the rally, organized by the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees. "Martin Luther King died fighting for the rights of union workers," Sharpton said. King was assassinated April 4, 1968, in Memphis, Tenn., where he was supporting AFSCME sanitation workers.

Phantom Sensation and Phantom Pain After Amputation
Most people who have an amputation will have some degree of phantom sensation. This is when you "feel" the missing part of your limb. You may feel an itch or a tickle. Or it may feel as if the missing portion of your leg is asleep. It is most often mild, not painful. But sometimes, you may have stronger, painful sensations that seem to come from the missing part of your limb. It may feel like a quick zing or flash up your limb. Or, it may feel more like burning, twisting, cramping, or aching. When this happens, it's called phantom pain. Persistent phantom pain is far less likely to happen than phantom sensation. And there are things you can do to feel better.
What Causes Phantom Sensation?
No one is sure why phantom sensation happens. One common theory has to do with nerves. Nerves that supplied sensation to the missing portion of your limb are often still functioning. They are just higher up in your limb. This means that your brain may not know how to interpret signals from these nerves. Your brain may think that the signals are coming from the missing part of your limb.
Phantom Pain
Phantom pain is likely to come and go. It may happen more often at night. Keep in mind that you won't necessarily have phantom pain after your amputation. It's far less common than phantom sensation. Phantom pain is most often manageable. But if it becomes hard to live with, talk to your health care provider.
Treating Phantom Pain
There are several ways to treat phantom pain. If needed, ask your health care provider if any of these options might work for you. The ones listed below are the most common treatments. Your health care provider may recommend others.
Medication. Antiseizure medications or antidepressants are often used to treat phantom pain. They may work better for this type of pain than normal painkillers.
Frequent touch. Massaging, rubbing, and tapping the end of the residual limb helps with desensitization. This can lessen or relieve pain. You may begin massaging your residual limb once the surgical sutures or staples are removed.
Wearing a shrinker sock. Keeping constant pressure on the end of the limb may help to relieve phantom pain.
Using your prosthesis. Like wearing a shrinker sock, using a prosthesis provides steady pressure to the limb. This seems to reduce phantom pain for some people.

Sfgirlbybay's Stylish Seven: A Few Moments of Zen
This week I'm feeling my inner homebody looming large. More than ever, there seems to be a resurgence of spending more time nesting, and entertaining at home. The economy's got everyone a bit down, I know, but there's also an upside to slowing down a little, spending more time with family and friends within the confines of your own comfy dwelling. You can take pride in the smallest tasks, like canning & preserving, or painting a room a sunny bright color, or washing your linens by hand in some lavender scented water. It feels good to get back to the basics and appreciate the simpler things in life. So this week in Sfgirlbybay's Seven for 7x7, we're taking some time out for a few moments of zen.

Nestlé SA and General Mills recently announced they will reformulate 20 popular breakfast cereals to reduce salt and sugar up to 30% by 2015. The move is focused on breakfast cereals sold outside the U.S., but reflects a growing consumer concern about the impact of sugar and salt on children's health.
The benefits of a healthy breakfast are significant, especially for children. The U.S. Department of Agriculture says that:
- Eating breakfast can help improve math, reading, and standardized test scores.
- Children who eat breakfast are more likely to behave better in school and get along with their peers than those who do not.
- Breakfast helps children pay attention, perform problem-solving tasks and improve memory.
The move to reduce the amount of sugar and salt in foods especially enjoyed by children is aimed at reducing obesity and improving nutritional consumer food choices. And while moms everywhere struggle with balancing kids' preferences with healthy food choices for the most important meal of the day, the battle is not limited to popular cereals.
Indeed, when we contacted Best Food Facts experts last year to comment on the move by the Los Angeles School District to eliminate flavored milk from the cafeteria, Andrea Garber, PhD, RD,Assistant Professor of Pediatrics in the Division of Adolescent Medicine at University of California - San Francisco, told Best Food Facts that she viewed that move as a step in the right direction. "Foods with high levels of high fructose corn syrup, such as fast food and soda, are contributing to the obesity epidemic."
Dr. Andrea Garber
The recent move by Nestlé and General Mills received positive public attention and, while it does not impact breakfast cereals sold in the U.S., the consensus is that it is good news.
Ruth MacDonald, PhD, RD, professor and chair of the Department of Food Science and Human Nutrition at Iowa State University says "…my response to this plan by Nestlé is that it is a good move. Lowering sugar and salt in breakfast cereals is a great idea. I can't think of any reason why they should not do this."

May 3, 2016
At 10 a.m. Wednesday morning, 1,200 to 1,500 gas customers lost their connection when two pressure regulators froze and stopped the flow of natural gas.
The same reason the gas problem started in eastern Tallahassee is the same reason customers want it turned back on fast, because of cold weather.
Michelle Bono, City of Tallahassee Spokeswoman, says, "Two pressure regulators froze and stopped the gas flow to about 12 to 1,500 customers."
People living around Chaires Cross Road, Buck Lake Road and Mahan Drive came home to no gas. For some that meant no hot water or use of the stove. For others it meant no heat.
The source of the problem is fixed and crews are out working overtime to get those gas pilot lights lit.
Janet Firestone, a gas customer, says, "I am so grateful to these guys to be out working on such a cold evening. I really appreciate them."
The city says if your pilot light is out, call them, don't attempt to light it yourself; crews will come out free of charge.
The city says attempting to light the pilot could be dangerous and would prefer customers call 891-4YOU and a crew will be out as soon as possible to fix the problem.

March/April 2001
Combination therapy for HIV disease has saved countless lives, however, many more individuals with high levels of mutant virus have resistance to many common treatments. It is these individuals who are at greater risk for HIV progression and complications, and they are often excluded from research studies involving the new and more effective therapies. In other words, patients who are in the most need of new treatment do not have access to them. In our practice, there is a growing number of people who are on their second, third, or fourth regimen. These are the individuals who most urgently need access to new drugs.
The FDA indicates a readiness to examine the possibility of allowing faster approval of drugs that are potentially helpful to patients with fewer options. The agency is now considering approval of drugs that demonstrate antiviral effect through the use of shorter clinical trials. This would promote the quicker availability of drugs to patients, especially those who need drugs to stay alive.
By reducing the length of time of research trials, drugs can potentially become available to patients with the greatest need much sooner. However, at the meeting's conclusion it was still unclear whether the agency has made any decision in regards to this issue. There is uncertainty as to when a decision will actually be made regarding these potential changes in the approval process. But the AIDS Chief, Heidi Jolson, was quoted as saying a decision may be ready next year.
Dr. Heidi Jolson, the director of the Division of Antiviral Drug Products (FDA AIDS Chief) is leaving the FDA. She supports AIDS treatments for approval while appropriately evaluating safety issues. She also supports the various compassionate track pathways. We hope that a suitable individual is found to replace Dr. Jolson upon her departure and that the issue of promoting a faster approval process for HIV drugs to the sickest patients does not get delayed.
The prestigious Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) recently published a controversial article regarding the results of a large-scale clinical trial using an HIV treatment vaccine called HIV-1 Immunogen (brand name Remune). The article described the results of a large multicenter study of 2,527 HIV-positive participants. Patients with CD4 counts between 300 and 549 cells received either Remune or placebo (fake medicine). The idea for a treatment vaccine is to boost the immune system of HIV positive individuals by exposing them to viral antigens (HIV proteins). The body's own immune response against these proteins would hypothetically assist in one's control of HIV. The study was not a success and was terminated earlier than scheduled by the Data Safety Monitoring Board, an independent group that oversees clinical trials. According to the authors of the JAMA article, the results failed to demonstrate that the addition of the vaccine conferred any effect on HIV progression-free survival and was also associated with a lack of clinical improvement.
Moreover, the strategy for this mode of treatment is a controversial one. HIV-infected patients already possess very high turnover of virus in the blood, which should be enough to stimulate an immune response against the virus. Administering more viral proteins in the form of a vaccine to the already present viral burden of an HIV positive person is not a proven way to fight HIV.
The results published in the JAMA article concluded with the lack of substantial effect of the vaccine and was followed with much drama and criticism of the authors by Remune's manufacturer, Immune Response Corporation. The pharmaceutical company has filed a claim with the American Arbitration Association seeking millions of dollars in damages from the University of California at San Francisco, the affiliation of the lead author of the study. According to Dr. Ronald Moss, vice president of Medical and Scientific Affairs for Immune Response Corp., the purpose of the suit was to have a third party arbitrate and hopefully cause the JAMA authors to incorporate other data that would dispel the already negative view of the product. The University of California has filed a counterclaim against Immune Response, however.
Allegations were made by the manufacturing company that certain details and findings may have been excluded and may have been more positive to their product. These details included data from a subset of 250 randomly assigned patients who had virologic testing done every three months, as opposed to the every six months monitoring done for the more than 2,000 other patients under study. According to Immune Response, of this smaller subgroup of patients, there was some data indicating the presence of HIV-specific immunity that was associated with greater decrease in viral load. However, the JAMA authors were not persuaded by Immune Response's arguments and felt the subset virologic data was not consistent with any significant changes. Additionally, many believe that, in a large study of 2,500 people, if the drug was indeed successful it would have been demonstrable in this large patient group.
Other company complaints were the unexpected presence of low HIV-related illnesses and the high rate of changing antiviral therapy occurring during the study, not planned for, nor were guidelines set in the study design, which Immune Response claims altered the results. However in a letter to me dated November 30, 2000, the JAMA authors clearly state they did not leave out any data that should have been published in this manuscript and eventually concluded that the treatment vaccine was ineffective; their objective in presenting the manuscript was to present an accurate assessment of the study. They were also concerned that "new patients were enrolling" in further studies with this agent and "were concerned that selective data improperly analyzed from the study was being sent to investigators to justify the ongoing or newly planned studies."
Other criticism came from some study investigators and clinicians who did much of the work; the authors James Kahn, et al., failed to recognize these individuals in the manuscript (the authors claim that the company did not provide the names and the company says that isn't true). In addition, some of the investigators disagreed with the JAMA authors' conclusions and interpretation of the study. Consequently, a second manuscript submitted by other lead investigators in cooperation with Immune Response has been accepted for publication in an attempt to refute the present conclusions and offer an additional interpretation of the study. Current JAMA authors plan to also do further analysis of the data. There is much corporate and pharmaceutical money at stake here and so it appears that the controversy will be never ending.
Too often pharmaceutical companies exert much censorship on publication of research because of industry money concerns. There are strong feelings harbored by many physicians that medical research can often be compromised because of the "bottom line."

Bank of America (
), the largest bank in the U.S. based on the level of deposits, is
testing new fee structure for its checking account service which
used to be free. The new pilot program for the customers in
Arizona, Georgia and Massachusetts allow the customers to apply for
various account types with a monthly fees ranging from $6 to $25.
The bank plans to expand the program nationally later this year.
Other banks such as JP Morgan (
), Citigroup (
) and
Wells Fargo
) have introduced new fees on the checking account service after
the Dodd-Frank financial reform bill restricted banks from charging
merchants processing fees on debit card transactions.
We have a price estimate of
$16.17 on Bank of America's stock
which is about 10% above the current market price.
Bank of America is trying to earn more revenues from its
existing customer base by requiring them to use more products and
services in order to avoid monthly fees. Under the new pilot
program, Bank of America introduced four types of checking
"Essentials" is a basic account with a monthly fee and a debit
card. "eBanking" accounts have no fees if the customer opts for
e-statements and makes deposits and withdrawals online or by ATM.
"Enhanced" accounts will have a fee if a customer doesn't keep a
minimum of $2,000 balance. "Premium" account requires a minimum of
$20,000 balance and provides free money orders and check
New Fees Could Lift Service Fees as a % of
The service fee as a % of deposits represents the total service
fee that Bank of America generates on consumer banking and deposits
business as a percent of the total outstanding deposits. The fees
include overdraft fees, insufficient funds fees, monthly fees,
Bank of America's service fee as a percent of deposits declined
from 1.9% in 2008 to about 1.3% in 2010 as the bank limited
overdraft fees for customers and the implemented certain
regulations by the Federal Reserves which restricted the bank's
ability to charge certain fees. We expect service fees as a percent
of deposits to increase back to about 1.7% after the introduction
of new checking account fees. If this increased to around 2% by the
end of the forecast period, this would add around 1-2% to our price
Below you can also see our forecast for profit margins on
deposits and consumer loans. If we assume that higher profit
margins would accompany higher fees for this business and we
adjusted 2013 profit margin back to 2008 levels, this would chip in

WATERFORD - After a race long battle for the top spot, Chris Meyer edged ahead of Al Stone III on the final circuit to win the 25-lap Street Stock feature Saturday at the Waterford Speedbowl.
Meyer, of North Franklin, and Stone, of New Haven, traded the lead throughout the race and went side-by-side over seven of the last eight laps before Meyer took control on the final lap.
"That was the most fun I've ever had in my entire life," Meyer said. "I have more respect for Al than a lot of the other guys here. He's one of the best drivers here. He's very clean. He raced me hard but he raced me clean."
Coming out of the final corner, Josh Galvin made a move on Stone and the two went sliding across the start/finish line, with Galvin, of Franklin, taking second place.
"We're working a lot on the car," Galvin said. "We don't stop, we just kept digging in the garage and we're now making the right moves on the car."
Said Stone: "It was an absolutely awesome race. I knew from the beginning of the race that it was going to be great. Chris drove a heck of a race. They did a great job. I'm very happy for them."
In the 30-lap Late Model feature it was Bruce Thomas Jr. of Groton leading every lap on the way to his third victory of the season.
Richard Staskowski of Hope Valley, R.I. was second and Jeff Smith of Old Lyme third.

|Information Desks
When I do trainings, I remind staff and volunteers not to assume that they can predict a visitor's preference. For example, when someone asks for a museum brochure, I encourage staff and volunteers to say: "We have brochures in standard print, in large print, and on audio tape. Which would you prefer?" Remember, state what is available and follow by asking what someone prefers. B, Washington, DC
Sally asked me to take this photo to show the sign "Alternate Formats of Publications Available" prominently displayed on the information desk. The sign had been on a shelf in the back, maybe too far for a visitor with low vision to see it. I guess someone has to constantly check on these things if visitors are to know what's available.

I've been a volunteer at the airport for the past five years. I work two four-hour shifts each week. There are 65 of us in all working the two airport desks. Most of us are retired. You know us by the red blazers we wear. When I started, I had a one-day training that told us where things are and about politeness. I usually work alone at the desk located at the top of a steep ramp just beyond the security checkpoint so the questions I get are either from people about to catch a plane or from those leaving the airport. The people catching planes ask where they can smoke and for a Starbucks. I tell them they have to go back through security because smoking is only allowed outside and there is no Starbucks. The people leaving the airport want to know where to pick up their luggage and where to catch a cab or shuttle. Most of the people with disabilities who pass my way have someone with them but occasionally someone tired out by the climb stops and asks for a wheelchair. I get them one and remind them that they can request a wheelchair when they book their flight. My grandson lives in Japan where he teaches English. He told me to print, and I do that when someone who does not speak English asks me a question. I do the same with someone who is deaf; usually they have their own pad and pencil. From interview with volunteer at Oakland, CA, airport
I find "knee space" tricky because I am forever getting the recommended measurements for the top of the counter mixed up with those for the height of the counter. It makes sense, of course, but I admit that I really didn't get it until someone who uses a wheelchair showed me. Ah, counters have tops -and bottoms! They need to be high enough for legs and knees, but not so high that someone can't comfortably use them as a work surface. This illustration from the UFAS Retrofit Manual (page 249) may help.

Reading Department of Justice Settlements is not only interesting, but helps reiterate what's needed. On their web site, there are quite a few settlements made with hotels. The settlements often included actions to be taken related to the front desk where patrons register or to the concierge desk where patrons go to for information and answers to their questions. Barriers to be changed included doors and gates that were too narrow and hardware on doors, gates, and drawers that required "tight grasping, pinching or twisting of the wrist." In one settlement I read, a hotel was required "To provide signage at the front desk informing persons who are deaf or hearing impaired that the Hotel has rooms equipped for their use as well as TDD's." Also in this settlement, the hotel agreed to make modifications in the concierge desk and to have a written policy regarding basic customer service, as follows: "modify the concierge desk located in the lobby so that it contains a 36-inch wide section that has a height no greater than 36 inches above the floor" and "implement a written policy requiring employees to provide services to persons with disabilities at the lower section of the desk if persons with disabilities choose to utilize it."

This is a photo of me in front of the information desk at the Science Museum of Minnesota. The desk is in our main lobby after where you buy your ticket and just before you enter the galleries. Most of the time I am stationed in the galleries where I can answer visitors' questions, but I have also worked behind the information desk. It was designed in-house and has many nice features. Volunteers and staff who use wheelchairs can see and talk easily with visitors and vice versa. The only problem has been the need to add a space heater in winter because it takes up some toe and knee space. Otherwise, the lower counter height and other features work really well.

We have been without a TTY at our science center for over six years. We
had one once, but the story goes that no one ever used it (it was
frequently unplugged), and it had a dedicated line that was judged too
costly to maintain. Seeking information about which models would be
best for us and to try them out, I visited the Deaf Store. The store is
part of a human services agency unique to the Bay Area but likely
there's something comparable in most cities. Makes sense, it is a deaf
community center, but I hadn't thought about the possibility of there
not being a hearing person there to speak with me, and I don't know
sign language. So I ended up having a written conversation with the
very nice gentleman who was running the retail operation that day. I
got my questions answered, but it was very awkward for both of us to
conduct our conversation in writing. Besides selecting a TTY, it was a
new experience for me to be the person who didn't know sign language
and was unable to communicate in the predominant language. I think my
experience is similar to how, without captioned videos and sign
language interpreters, our deaf visitors must navigate our science
center all the time. The TTY I wanted wasn't in stock. It should be
there in a week or so. When I pick it up, I will learn a little more.

The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms is a film of firsts. It spawned a new era of atomic-age creature features. It was the first screen adaptation of a work by fantasy fiction titan Ray Bradbury. And it marked the first time Ray Harryhausen had total control over special effects. he came up with a fantastic creature (constructed at full scale, all 50 tons of it) that swims down from the north to run amok through New York City before being conquered in a spectacular Coney Island roller-coaster finale. Take a classic ride. Unleash The Beast.
There's not much that needs saying. The climatic battle at the amusement park is a little weird in its premise and meloncholy on its end. The creature is well-done, as are all of harryhausen's creations. I like the blood-borne disease that is used as an excuse for why the military can't blast the beast with conventional weaponry, rather than the more common "immune to all weapons except this thing a scientist cooked up in less than 45 minutes" explanation.
Kudos to Ray Harryhausen - he really pulled this one off tremendously well; I was only about 6 years old when I first saw this flick and it scared the bejabbers out of me - lots of subsequent nightmares and looking out of my window where I lived on Bergen Avenue in Jersey City almost swearing I saw this ugly beast peeking over the rooftops across the way waiting to get me! That scene when he picks up and eats the NYC Cop is still burned in my childhood's memory!Anyhow, this was quite an effort in those days to come up with a really good flick with some really good special effects for those days. BTW, this movie was based on a short story by the Grandaddy of 20th Century Sci-fi; Ray Bradbury. It also was sort of a "wake up call" regarding the possible effects of nuclear testing. Get a big bag of popcorn and a large soda of your favorite flavor - and watch this movie!!!!

She was a hit...an over-the-top hit at Mohegan Sun.
And enthusiastic and energetic Jennifer Lopez not only got the second day of the 15th anniversary party at Mohegan Sun started Saturday, she was the party singing and dancing and showing off what her mama gave her (her mama was there, by the way,) and all in front of a backdrop of special effects including fireworks, flames and streamers, a total package that had the crowd on its feet.
There was a poignant moment when the weekend headliner, whose eyes filled with tears, alluded to love and love lost, and then the exhuberant one as she looked forward. No Bradley Cooper sighting but what was that bling on her left ring finger that she kept showing off?
Fat Joe was there and made sure the energy never stopped.
J.Lo wardrobe... simply fabulous, feathery and sparkly! And the only major wardrobe malfunction...a few fallen hair extrensions that just couldn't hold on.
