FuseProject Unveils a Domestic Version of Its EV Charger
Posted By Timon Singh On September 27, 2010 @ 10:45 am In Environment,Green Transportation,Innovation,Renewable Energy | No Comments
One of the problems with electrical vehicles [2] is having to charge them, especially since there just aren't many charging stations readily available yet. However, building on the success of their public WattStation [3], FuseProject [4]is hoping to change that by creating a residential model. The domestic version of their charging station design is as sexy looking as their commercial one and it would definitely make life a lot easier for people with electric vehicles, encouraging more of them on the road!
Named the residential GE WattStation [4], the charging station is an easy-to-use electric vehicle charger that has been specifically designed to help accelerate the adoption of plug-in electric vehicles. One of the drawbacks of electrical vehicles [2] is the lengthy charging time, and this has put off many potential buyers. However the GE WattStation significantly decreases the time needed for vehicle charging and, using smart grid technology, allows utility companies to manage the impact of electric vehicles on the local and regional grids.
Traditional EV charging stations [6] can take anywhere up to 12-18 hours to charge a vehicle, but by combining functionality with consumer friendly form, the GE WattStation can decrease this to as little as four to eight hours. This is assuming it is a full-cycle charge for a standard 24 kWh battery. On their website, FuseProject says of the product that "the residential GE WattStation design is friendly and so simple to adopt that it will literally change one's life overnight: No more trips to the gas station, something that surely no one will miss!"
When these become commercially available in 2011, they have the potential to transform the charging of electric vehicles, making them more appealing to the everyday driver.

Having heard this comment rather a lot in my short life I did some research.
No, it has nothing to do with an ass's ears nor his tail.
Donkey's are not fat and neither do they look like a heffalump.
They are not built by Wimpy or McDonalds.
My yearnings have led me to a little known fact…
viz; It is an ancient Greek term, first coined by the Athenians.
The huge wooden animal was being carpentered and the design suggested a camel but they ran out of timber… too many campfires and BBQs on the beach I learned.
So it's humps were deleted from the drawings and it was finally completed…….
" It's built like a donkey !" exclaimed the man who was king.
They towed it to the gates and left it there, shining in the sunshine after it's final wax.
So the Trojan Horse was born but in reality it was built like a donkey.

THIBODAUX – Nicholls State University President Stephen Hulbert announced that the Saturday, Sept. 13, football game against Bowie State has been cancelled due to damage to the lighting at John L. Guidry Stadium resulting from Hurricane Gustav.
An inspection of the stadium's lights indicated that at least two poles lack structural integrity as a result of high winds.
"The safety of the players, coaches, fans and officials is of utmost importance," Hulbert said. "Bowie State officials were also concerned about the unpredictability of Hurricane Ike and its impact on their travel plans."
Nicholls will request that the State of Louisiana take immediate action to address the situation.
"If stadium lighting is not available, the remainder of the games may be moved to daylight hours," Hulbert said. "While I am eager for the 2008 Colonel football team to take the field, I must ensure that everyone who comes to Guidry Stadium can enjoy the game without fear of injury."

Winfrey was picked for the panel Monday. She's one of 12 jurors on the case of 26-year-old Dion Coleman, who's accused in the February 2002 shooting death of another man.
Winfrey occasionally jotted down notes as a 20-year-old witness testified that she saw Coleman shoot 23-year-old Walter Holley.
Reporters and sketch artists filled the front rows of the Cook County Criminal courtroom for Winfrey's jury appearance.
More testimony is planned Tuesday with deliberations expected by Wednesday.

IT'S not often that you can say that "I laughed till I hurt...".
But such was the overwhelming reaction of audiences to the opening nights of Caught In the Net at Cooma Little Theatre over the Anzac weekend.
This comedy is the sequel to the very popular Run for Your Wife which was staged several years ago and which was greeted with rave reviews.
Those who enjoyed and laughed their way through that production will similarly be thrilled by this latest "update" which is regarded as even funnier.
The play is again based upon the escapades of a British taxi driver John Smith (played by Nigel Griffiths) who has not one but TWO wives - the story of which formed the basis of the original Run For Your Wife.
Now 17 years after his dual marriages the irrepressible John Smith with the chaotic support of his neighbour Stanley (played by Tim Cook) and input from his absurd father (Bob Coles) again attempts to separate his two wives Barbara Smith (Claire D'amico) and Mary Smith (Sue McPhie).
However if that is not difficult enough this time the situation is further complicated by his earnest and desperate endeavours to prevent his two children Gavin and Vickie (played respectively by Jayden Payne and Camilla Howes) from also meeting after meeting "on the net".
If this sounds like a farcical situation it is - and very, very funny....
Directed again by the revered and highly experienced "team" of Jim and Joyce Brindle they leave nothing to chance in ensuring an excellent script, wonderful cast and clever set are a recipe for a production of the highest quality.
If you missed Run for Your Wife don't miss Caught in The Net - you too are sure to laugh till you hurt.
Performances continue during the first two weekends in May (2,3 and 9,10) on Friday and Saturday nights at 7.30pm with a matinee on May 3 at 2pm with tickets available at the Cooma Visitors Centre.

Carlton Draught 'Beer chase' ad goes viral
Carlton Draught's Hollywood car chase parody ad has gone viral.
The ad, which hasn't run on TV yet, has been viewed almost 1.5m times since being uploaded to YouTube six days ago.
The ad was sent to the media, the Carlton Draught and the AFL databases as well as all staff of Carlton United Brewers. It also ran on the Carlton Draught Facebook and Twitter pages, and has been picked up by the American press.
The Huffington Post and the LA Times both wrote about it, the LA times asking, is this the best beer ad ever?
The ad, created by Clemenger BBDO Melbourne, breaks on TV during the footy finals on Friday night.

Probably helps that it went to number one on Reddit.
In a league of it's own when you look at the work around at the moment.
Well, now I'm an alcholic. It's that good.
gday not bad but as a writer i think i could write and create an add with a little more oomph.. it gets the message out but in australia we do things bigger and louder and better than everyone else so if yu want us to buy your beer give us something to remember
Clever and funny as hell.
What a fabulous ad, so blocky and visceral LOVE IT!
Russell farmer's ad would have been even better with more "oomph" lol
Clemenger Melbourne are in a league of their own
thought the add was a bit flat if its for the american market needs a bit of get up an go, there are so many beer adds out there if you want to be the best you have to do the best.. if its for australian market go to any building site at beer o'clock same with the wharfies-these people if they drink your beer thats where you should be at. its where i would be, and how do i know? ive been there.. your add is o.k. but i want something that reaches out and grabs me and stays with me long after the add is no longer around i thank you for your time
It is a sad and symptomatic reflection of the lack of talent that wallows in the shadows of a once great industry. A rip off of a 70's movie, a mockery of law and order.
Any number of laws broken in its pathetic story. What next: bring a beer to Jones Town. The right Draught to drink at the Andes Plane crash. No wonder society is in such a state, and before all you apologist 's for so call creative freedom start wringing your hands, is this the sort of message we want to send to an already dis functional Community, if you answer yes then you are part of the problem.
Great great work. Been a while since I laughed out loud at an ad.
Good to see and Aussie ad that isn't a steaming pile of shit, kind of reminds me of the chace scene in 'Wet Hot American Summer' – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v.....ata_player
Great Job!
*an Aussie ad
Nice ad.
Any idea Tim on where the views are taking place?
They have this function hidden or locked on youtube.
Hahn Superdry was guilty of having millions of views, problem being they were viewed everywhere but in Australia. Hopefully CUB are open and transparent enough to share this.
Russell farmer, it's a bit of a worry if you are genuinely a writer, considering you refer to an advertisement as an "add" and write with no punctuation, poor grammar and no caps.
Maybe you wrote some of the other beer ads we've all forgotten about?
I love the humour this advertisment has and I am proud to say I am doing this for an assignment at school.

However, the league didn't get a grade for gender diversity in
results released Wednesday. The NFL is the only pro sports
organization that refuses to share its data with University of
Central Florida researchers who do the annual studies.
In the 2007 season, 66 percent of NFL players were black, a one
point decrease from the previous year. White players continued to
make up 31 percent of the total, but the difference was made up by
a small increase in Latino and Asian players.
The NFL has six black head coaches and five black general
managers entering this season, the same as 2007.

What sparks a lifelong passion for studying fish? A childhood spent in Honolulu is a start.
M"Growing up in Hawaii, I started snorkeling and spending time in the water when I was very small," said Rose L. Carlson, Ph.D., an assistant professor of evolutionary ecology.
In the heart of Manhattan's Lower East Side, a 12-story, two-year-old every bit like one of the new luxury towers that have sprouted in the area in the last decade.
MIt is also the latest project from Colin Cathcart, M.Arch, an associate professor of architecture at Fordham.
Before this spring, Sutter's Mill, a sawmill in Coloma, Calif., was known primarily for its prominence during the 19th-century gold rush.
MBut when a string of meteorites made their presence known on April 22, 2012 via a sonic boom and a fireball streaking across the sky, scientists and residents rapidly enjoined in a new hunt. And Jon Friedrich, Ph.D., was part of a team of scientists who analyzed the Sutter's Mill meteorite.
Inside Fordham is proud to highlight faculty and staff who recently
received coverage in major media outlets. Congratulations for bringing
the University to the attention of a broad audience.

From: Bryce Wagner
Received: April 19
National Volunteer Appreciation Week is April 21-27, and I'd like to take the opportunity to extend my heartfelt gratitude to a particularly dedicated, passionate and committed group of people — our local Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) volunteers.
We all read the stories of children who have suffered as victims of abuse and neglect and wonder what we can do to help. In Bartholomew County, more than 200 such children enter the child welfare system each year because their families are in crisis. These children have done nothing wrong, yet their lives are in chaos because the adults in their lives have failed them. These children deserve more from us.
Our local CASA volunteers are committed to ensuring that each of these children finds a safe and permanent "forever" family in which they can thrive. These volunteers have made the decision to roll up their sleeves instead of wringing their hands at the challenges these children face, and their work has a profound impact on our society's future and the prosperity of our local community. These CASA volunteers change lives, and each child they help sets a positive course for generations.
Last year alone, our CASA volunteers served 225 children in Bartholomew County, giving them the opportunity to live a life of hope and destiny, instead of a life of fate. Sadly, Advocates for Children still maintains a waiting list of more than 200 abused and neglected children who do not have an advocate to lift up their voice in court. So let's all take a moment to express our gratitude to the volunteers who have already made a commitment to our community's most vulnerable children and to consider joining them.
To learn more about becoming a CASA volunteer and the life-changing work they do, visit apowerfulvoice.org.

This is the lead in story that tells how they are trying to solve the mystery of the silk tower. I love how they did this -- read this with your students first and then the next article for the answer. Very good writing and kudos to wired. Neat.
Science teachers will love this - a mystery of silk towers in the Amazon is finally solved. These structures went viral after someone posted and asked what they were on the Internet and now it has been discovered: a spider - although no one is really sure how.
It baffled entemologists. This whole topic is very cool because it is science but it is also social media and how the two have become inextricably intertwined. This is a great one to talk about in your science classes because there are so many ways you can go with it. So cool.
"OF THE 264 Twitter accounts belonging to governments and world leaders, and the 350,289 tweets that have been sent from those accounts to their 51,990,656 followers, not a single one was sent by a Chinese leader." says the Economist in their blog about China.
In a fascinating article that accuses Chinese leaders of a sort of "state led autism" it talks about how one major social media outlet (Twitter) is ignored and blocked by the Great Firewall of China but how their news service is now not only tweeting but linking to YouTube videos (which is also blocked.) The Economist uses this as a fascinating example of how being so insular is going to harm and ultimately limit the rise of China. If you follow China and current events, whether you like Twitter or not, this is a fascinating read and one you may want to bring to your students as well.
The issue of fake friends and sham accounts is becoming a problem on FAcebook. This is an extensive article about the topic that can be referenced in our project.
"Though the access varies depending on each individual's privacy settings, once a spammer has become "friends" with other users, he can then tag them in photos, post messages to their walls, chat with them, send status updates to their news feeds and connect with their friends. In this fashion, the fake friends insinuate themselves into the social networks of all of the people they reach, with each new friend reinforcing the appearance that the relationships are real and making it easier to add even more friends."
Excellent article about Mark Zuckerberg's growing up as a CEO.
Twitter in under 10 minutes (a tutorial for beginners.)
Here is a storify by Steven Anderson (@web20classroom) who had asked the difference between Macbook Pro vs. Mac Air. Storify lets you easily link together information from Twitter, Facebook, and other social media in an easy-to-read story. Just remember to do it pretty soon after tweeting as it can be hard to get back to old Tweets. Twitter doesn't let you go back indefinitely. Great comparison and view of how social media mavens like Steven can share information from their networks.
This article points out that up to 30 months after photos are deleted from Facebook that they are still there. If someone has the direct URL to a photo, it is still accessible. Students should be taught about this and we should educate ourselves as well. Once something is uploaded it is out there. Period. You cannot take it back.
Even if you delete incriminating photos on your Facebook profile, the company is keeping them accessible to anyone online for up to 30 months.

By now, you've seen all of the Super Bowl commercials. These were the five best and five worst Super Bowl ads I saw during the game Sunday night:
Heinz, Wiener Stampede, A+
That this best spot of the Super Bowl could be made so simply (and so inexpensively) has to have other advertisers tearing their storyboards into little pieces. No celebrities. No massive production that looks lifted from an action movie. Just a horde of Dachshunds dressed as hot dogs (wiener dogs, naturally) running in slow motion across a field toward a handful of humans in Heinz condiment suits. The perfect...

Conjuring Spells

- "So... today we are starting Vanishing Spells. These are easier than Conjuring Spells, which you would not usually attempt until NEWT level, but they are still among the most difficult magic you will be tested on in your OWL."
- —Professor Minerva McGonagall to her fifth year class on Vanishing Spells[src]
Conjuring Spells are, presumably, a group of spells used to conjure things. Professor Minerva McGonagall mentioned these spells to her fifth year class in September of 1995 when introducing the Vanishing Spell.
Behind the scenes
- Although it is possible this refers to a group of spells used to conjure things, it is also possible that Professor McGonagall was speaking of an individual spell when mentioning Conjuring Spells, as she also referred to the Vanishing Spell as a plural.

BAKERSFIELD, Calif. - Southern Utah University suffered a four-set defeat to CSU Bakersfield on Saturday night, despite having bested the Roadrunners in a pair of key statistics. The Thunderbirds logged a better hitting percentage (.212 vs .206) and more blocks (18.0 to 8.0) than CSUB, but with the loss dropped to 9-16 on the year.
SUU opened the match trailing Bakersfield throughout most of the early moments of the first set until a three-point Thunderbird run tied the match at 13-13 and led to a CSUB timeout. The break didn't still Southern Utah's momentum as the team ultimately took a 16-13 lead at the end of a six-point push.
Bakersfield answered and tied the game at 17-17 with the teams then battling through ties at 18-18, 20-20, 21-21 and 22-22. The Roadrunners then broke away with three consecutive points to take the set 25-22.
The Thunderbirds bounced back and controlled the second set from the opening serve, beginning the frame with a 5-0 run capped by an Analaine Mailoto kill. Southern Utah never trailed with CSUB only coming as close as three points during the frame. A final kill by Cashaana Renfro wrapped up the set for the T-Birds, 25-16, as SUU hit a team-best .407 with 12 kills on 27 attempts with only one error.
Southern Utah continued to control the match during most of the third set, holding an advantage over Bakersfield until a four-point run by the Roadrunners tied the match at 16-16. The lead then changed hands four times down the stretch with CSUB taking leads at 17-16 and 23-22 and the T-Birds claiming the advantage at 20-19 and capturing a set point at 24-23. However, the victory slipped away from the Thunderbirds as three consecutive errors, one serving and two attacking, gave the set to Bakersfield, 26-24.
The loss seemed to take away the Thunderbirds' momentum going in the fourth set and rejuvenated the home side as CSUB hit a match-high .500 with 17 kills on 26 swings with only four errors to take the match 25-16.
Mailoto led all attackers with 23 kills and added five digs and three blocks. Cashaana Renfro led all players at the net with 10 blocks, including one solo block and nine blocking assists. Bakersfield was paced by a trio of double-digit attackers with Debora Araujo leading the way with 19 kills and Kelsee Sawyer (15 kills) and Molly O'Hagan (11 kills) following.
Southern Utah will look to return to its winning ways on Monday night as the team wraps up a six-day road trip and faces Northern Arizona in Flagstaff. The match is scheduled to begin at 8:00 p.m. (MT) with live stat and live video links available online at www.suutbirds.com.

On Marwa al-Sherbiny/
Michael Collins Dunn blogs about Marwa al-Sherbini, an Egyptian woman murdered in Germany, and the outrage her death has caused in Egypt, so I don't have to:Read More
Sherbini was a young (32 years old) mother killed in a German court — yes, in an open courtroom during a judicial sesssion — in Dresden July 1 in front of her three-year old son. She was stabbed (18 times) in the courtroom by a xenophobic German who had previously attacked her as a "terrorist" for wearing hijab, leading her to lodge a complaint against him. He was appealing a fine when he stabbed her. Adding insult to injury, when her husband sought to protect her from her attacker, the security in the courtroom shot the husband, not the attacker. (As one person notes in one of the links, "he wasn't blond so he must be the attacker.") And to add more insult to that one, the prosecutor initially charged the attacker with manslaughter (for stabbing someone 18 times in an open courtroom?). (Now there are reports the charge will be changed to murder.) Oh, sorry, now it appears she was also pregnant with her second child. And why, exactly, are people outraged? Oh, right. All these reasons. It's received very little coverage in Europe or the US, and that fact as well as the crime itself has outraged the Egyptian street to a remarkable degree. Her body was met at Cairo airport; thousands reportedly turned out for her funeral in Alexandria. Everyone from the Sheikh al-Azhar on down to the most secularist bloggers are expressing concern. The Egyptian blogosphere has been awash with postings, many noting that the killing of Neda Soltan in Iran (by the government, admittedly) led to Western outrage, while the killing of a Muslim mother in a European courtroom by a man clearly motivated by hatred of Islam and Muslims, is ignored.I first noticed the Egyptian outrage about Marwa on Twitter, where the #marwa tag has been popular in recent days. Most of the complaints are about her death is not covered in the "MSM", the stupid inaccurate blogo-acronym for mainstream media. Except that it is being thoroughly covered by the Arab media, so the complaints are, I suppose, about how it's not dislodging Michael Jackson's death and Sarah Palin's resignation from the top items. And about how there's a double-standard about her death compared to Neda Agha-Soltan's death. Except of course the latter took place in the middle of the biggest protests in Tehran in decades, as part of a story on potential massive political fraud and a hardline coup in Iran, at a time when the country is perhaps the biggest story of the year. And her agony was caught on camera. So really we're looking at more "clash of civilizations" style victimhood. Of course the Marwa al-Sherbiny case is outrageous, it is a racist murder that took place in courtroom. But do we have to compare it to other news stories? And do we have to ask that the mainstream media in the West (which I advise to simply stop watching, at least TV) cover it? There are countless racist murders and attacks around the world all the time. This one is particularly nasty, but is the most important thing to do about it protest in front of the German embassy in Cairo (as if the German government is responsible) or complain that it's not covered on CNN (although there was excellent coverage on al-Jazeera English)? Is it not enough that it's a major story in most Arab media? Also see this BBC report. Update: I knew this post would upset people (see comments), and that was not my intention. As I said, it was a horrible crime. But by your logic, then I will say that Egyptians are racist against Egyptians: in 2007, I don't remember much of a fuss being made about a 13-year-old boy tortured by police in Mansoura and who ended up dying in his mother's arms a few days later. Or does it only matter when an Egyptian gets killed abroad?

Genes' Influence on Alcoholism Investigated
New, powerful gene hunting techniques hold promise for scientists pursuing the genes involved in complex diseases. This was the topic of a recent 2-day conference, "Genes and the Environment in Complex Diseases: A Focus on Alcoholism," sponsored by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism.
Finding the gene variants involved in alcoholism is the primary focus of NIAAA's Collaborative Study on the Genetics of Alcoholism (COGA), a large-scale research program based in six research centers located across the United States. At these centers, people with histories of alcoholism and their families are being extensively studied. Dr. Henri Begleiter, State University of New York, reported that, as of January 1997, a total of 9,946 people had been recorded into COGA's database.
A serious drawback in identifying the traits and characteristics associated with alcoholism is the fact that a common definition of this disease does not exist. As noted by NIAAA director Dr. Enoch Gordis, a clear description of the phenotype of alcoholism is essential to accurately identify people at greatest risk for disease. Once the phenotype(s) has been defined, it can be linked to genetic markers. COGA scientists are working to better define alcoholic phenotypes and, according to Dr. Victor Hesselbrock, University of Connecticut, four different classes of alcoholism thus far have been identified.
A person's response to alcohol appears to be one of the strongest predictors of future alcohol problems and, thus, a potentially useful marker for studying the genetics of alcoholism. Dr. Marc Schuckit, University of California, discussed findings from the COGA project which showed that sons of alcoholics had lower responses to alcohol (i.e., they needed to drink more alcohol to experience an effect). The COGA data augment earlier findings showing that children from alcoholic families may have an innate tolerance to alcohol that, when combined with certain environmental factors, could put them at greater risk for alcoholism.
In developing a whole genome screen, COGA has typed 291 markers in about 1,000 subjects, according to Dr. John Rice, Washington University School of Medicine. To date, he reported, the middle of chromosome 1 consistently has been implicated in alcoholism using two different disease definitions and two analytical methods. Other chromosomes with possible evidence of linkage include 4, 7 and 16. The next step will be to confirm the current findings using a second sample of 1,000 subjects. For those linkages that are confirmed, investigators will attempt to narrow the region of interest on each chromosome using additional markers and then examine these regions on a molecular level to identify the genes influencing alcoholism.
Before a potential gene's function can be positively linked to alcoholism, however, other factors must be considered. Gene-environment and gene-gene interactions are ubiquitous. As noted by Dr. John Blangero, South West Foundation for Biomedical Research, a gene may not have an effect unless another gene is present, or a gene may have only a small effect on its own but a large effect when combined with other genes. Scientists currently are developing powerful statistical methods to more clearly discern each gene's effect and to take into account gene-gene and gene-environment interactions.

Vista teams closing in on playoffs
By: Matt Long Telegraph Sports Editor
Vista del Lago has qualified for the Division IV baseball playoffs, but whether they enter as the Sierra Valley Conference champion or as the second-place team depends on the outcome of two games on Tuesday. The Eagles, 14-3 in the conference, played at Galt, while SVC-leading El Dorado (15-2) played host to River City. Vista needed to beat Galt (8-9 in league), while also needing River City (11-6) to upset El Dorado to win the conference championship. Regardless of the outcome of the games, the Division IV playoffs begin May 17 for both teams, the league champ facing off against the No. 3 seed from the Valley Oak League, while the second-place team will play the champion of the Western Athletic Conference. In their only action last week, the Eagles defeated Galt 8-4. The game was tied at four heading into the bottom of the fifth inning before the Eagles score twice and they added two more runs in the sixth. Matt Jimison, Travis Fowlston and Alex Muzzi each had two hits to lead the Eagles. Jimison and Muzzi both scored once and knocked in a run, while Fowlston had two RBIs. Muzzi and Fowlston both hit triples in the game. Andrew Lucio scattered nine hits and struck out four before Michael Majeski relieved him and got the last out of the game. Softball It would take a minor miracle for the Eagles (9-1 in league, 16-4 overall) not to win the SVC title with one game remaining today at El Dorado, who sits at the bottom of the standings. Cosumnes Oaks sits in second place with an 8-2 record. The playoffs begin May 17, where the Eagles will likely play the third-place team from the Valley Oak League. Vista has been playing good softball and last week earned two easy wins over Galt (13-0) and River City (11-0). The Eagles scored seven runs in the first inning against Galt to take care of things early, while finishing the game with 10 hits. Morgan Theis and Jessica Evans combined to no hit the Warriors. Evans had a huge day at the plate as well with two hits, four RBI and one run scored. Theis also had two hits, scored two runs and knocked in one. Tayana Mata doubled and knocked in two; Amanda Machado scored three runs while Ashley Muzzi, Christina Guidry and Gaby Segura all scored twice. Against River City, Catherine Guidry and Mata both had three hits, scored twice and drove in a run. Muzzi had two hits and two RBI and Theis tripled, scored twice and knocked in two. Olivia Brown had two hits and knocked in one, while Evans hit a home run, scored twice and knocked in three. Soccer The varsity girls? soccer team finished the regular season Tuesday with a 4-0 win over El Dorado, finishing as Sierra Valley Conference champions with a 10-0-2 record. The Eagles, 12-2-2 overall, open the playoffs next week. In the 4-0 win over the Cougars, MacKenzie Mercier scored three goals, while Janae Gonzalez scored the other. Gonzalez and Hannah Osuna added assists, while Sarah Hollingshaus and Shandy Nanomantube took care of protecting the goal. The junior varsity team earned a 3-1 victory. Makena Totushek scored twice and Mary Meyer added the third goal. Sarah Sobottka had one assist.

Feeling Pain During My C Section
My son just turned one yesterday which is great but this hasn't stopped bothering me. They induced me because I had preeclampsia i didn't progress so they gave me a c section after 28 hours of labor. whenever they were testing me to make sure i was numb there was an area where i could feel it so they gave me meds.. it was okay for the first bit and then all of the sudden the pain got worse and worse i started screaming crying because I was feeling an excruciating amount of pain. they kept telling me just a minute he is almost out and i'm not sure what happened but what i remember is waking up in another room shaking uncontrollably. My problem with this is i'm afraid to have another child because i don't want to experience that again and another thing is my doctor never came to check on me afterwards and all the nurses knew who I was so I feel like something went wrong. I'm wondering if anyone else experienced this and what I should do?

I had that happen too. It was right after he was out that I was in an excruciating amount of pain and then I woke up in another room. yeah, it sucks big time. I think the drs and hospitals really just don't care. The entire time they were talking around me like I wasn't even there. It was awful. You can try confronting them about it, but I doubt they'll do much about it. C/S are a daily thing to most hospitals, they think they're nothing and don't realize how deeply it can affect the person.posted 01/23/2011 by a BabyCenter Member
I had a different kind of pain, it felt like my chest was literally on fire and to shut me up they knocked me out. I would talk to them about it. The only thing you are supposed to feel during a c-section is "pressure" it should not hurt. Also don't be afraid to have another baby. I dont know your circumstances for having to have a c-section but you could always try to deliver vaginally (vbac) I'm 18 weeks pregnant now and the Dr said I would be a great candidate.posted 01/24/2011 by UrnAsh
I did. I had emergency c-section as well and they were in such a hurry, they didn't even check if I was numb all the way. Sounds like they put you completely under, which is what they did to me after I felt them cutting me open and went into shock. I had nightmares about it, still do sometimes and my daughter is going to be 3yrs. My doctor did check on me, however.. and if I were you I'd just confront them. It was VERY rude of your doctor not to come back and make sure you're ok, even if he KNEW you were ok. As for having another child, I had my 2nd in July. My 2nd c-section went great. No problems at all, until they were cleaning and scraping my uterus, but it wasn't pain- it just made me very sick. I puked the rest of the surgery and continued to vomite for 2days (because of meds) However, besides that it the c-secton went great.posted 01/23/2011 by Emkaed
I'm wondering if I should confront the hospital because I feel like what they did was really wrong and I don't know if it was something with my body or if it was something that they did...posted 01/22/2011 by zekenemily

Very pretty and a lot more heavy duty than I thought it would be. This I would classify as deep orange as opposed to red though. The words are etched, so they will not wear off (although that makes it a little hard to read.) But this is some great doggy jewelry! So pretty on her! Thanks

Lucha Cantina was opened in 2007 by a Minnetonka, MN native named Chuck Holcomb. The idea behind Lucha was to make fresh, natural, fabulous Mexican food & drink that doesn't kill your wallet or your health.Lucha developed quite a following among locals and guests alike, serving a simple menu of burritos, tacos, and all-juice margaritas. People like us because we use honest ingredients, pour REALLY honest drinks, and charge honest prices.
In addition to our tacos, nachos, and homemade salsas, we've also got unbelievable burgers, ribs, steaks, wings, and other tasty goodness! Everything we do, we do right. That means nothing frozen or canned and no icky flavor packets. We make everything in the house, because it's the right thing to do.
Chuck and his buddy Chris Verikas, a Southbury, CT native, found the Historic Red Ram restaurant and thought it would be a fine idea to open a bigger, badder Lucha in the tiny mountain town of Georgetown, Colorado. Lucha Georgetown opened in December of 2011 and the city has never been happier.In 2013, Chuck's friend and former colleague Joshua Binning opened a brand spankin' new Lucha in Rockford, Illinois. Lucha Cantina Rockford is a beautiful space, with a wonderful, comfortable bar and a huge patio.
"Life has been pretty darn good so far. We have people visiting us from all over Colorado and the world, drawn to our unique takes on Mexican and American favorites. It is interesting how far people will drive for good, fresh food."
So what are we up to in the kitchen? Lucha makes almost everything we serve in house. It is that simple. We use only pure, natural ingredients. (We do buy tortillas, kids chicken tenders and sweet potato fries from outside vendors, mostly because we couldn't figure out how to make them right.) No lard, no MSG, nothing partially-hydrogenated. We don't like that stuff at all. Good meats & veggies, from as close to home as we could find. Our beef is grass-fed and braised for six hours. Our chicken is free of everything not natural, as nature intended. We use fresh kale, zucchini, and broccoli in our veggie blend. Ever had kale at a Mexican restaurant? We serve it because we dig it, and it is super tasty. We make our salsas, dressings, and sauces every day, from fresh produce & spices. Again, no icky stuff.
Lucha also uses to-go containers made from sugar cane and corn. They are compostable, recycled, and expensive. Sometimes we might charge a few dimes for to-go boxes. We figured you wouldn't mind spending some loose change to keep Styrofoam out of the landfill.
Lastly, and most importantly, Lucha uses only real juices in our cocktails. That means none of that nasty sweet and sour syrup in our margaritas. Our strawberry margs have, wait for it, real strawberries. The Lucha experience is as natural as we can get it from start to finish.
Make it a Lucha road trip, and visit all four of our restaurants. We recommend starting in Rockford, making your way out to Littleton CO, and ending up in Georgetown. Ending a trip in Georgetown is its own reward. If you need directions, call us.
We sincerely thank you for your business. This is a whole bunch of fun for us. I hope it shows.
Please come back soon!

As we have always observed in the past, one of the talents our managers of states affairs are blessed with is the ability to create and stimulate controversy in society, by making unexpected decisions.
The latest move of introducing a system of marking primary school final examinations by computer may be cited as one of the best examples. Those who keep abreast of current affairs might have already noted that a lively unofficial debate on this "a wonderful'' idea is in the air. It is likely to keep our minds busy for a while.
Apparently the introduced innovation is not all that complicated. It is based on setting multiple choice questions and requiring the examinee to shade what he/she considers a correct answer by using the HB pencil.
Once this procedure is observed to the letter, then a computerized optical mark reader mechanically gets to work and comes up with the candidate's total mark score. We are told it is 'smart" enough to punish those who attempt to play tricks with technology by, for example, shading two answer options while the instructions require shading one answer.
Parents and some education experts have shown eagerness to know why the ministry of education has made a shift to primary school exams computer marking system, and the brains behind it seem to have the answers on their fingers tips. Computer marking is faster, they say, and will enable the relevant examinations management body to announce the results within a short time.
Another reason mentioned is that the Examination Council will no longer need thousands of examination markers, as a single computer is capable of replacing tens of teachers. It is argued that this will reduce the examination marking costs, and thus the government will make substantial savings.
Ministry officials further emphasise that given the rate at which the number of primary school leavers in the country is increasing, costs of marking the exams were expected to rise correspondingly, had it not been for this technological intervention.
The other day a friend of mine who enjoys humour jokingly remarked that probably another advantage of examination computer marking , which is not being highlighted by officials, is the fact computers have no word "bias" in their vocabulary, and take no bribes, under any circumstances.
Ministry officials are aware that there are parents and other members of the public who have reservations on the above - mentioned approach to marking primary school examinations. The former, however, assure the latter that the system works, and a few other African countries, including Kenya and Botswana, have already adopted it. Skeptics are advised not to be scared of new technology but to embrace it.
What is the main argument advanced by those who question the rationale and impact of the new development? Well, they question the multiple questions format as a methodology of testing the student's ability to demonstrate understanding of issues and facts, and communicate what he/she understands effectively.
Others rightly note that multiple choice questions may, at times, give an opportunity to students who are good at guess work to fluke and get good grades they don't deserve. It is argued as well, that in a situation where it has been revealed that some primary school leavers do not know how to write competently, multiple choice questions are likely to enable them to pass and qualify for Form One entry, only to fail to cope with secondary school studies, or proceed and join the army of Form Four mass failures.
While all this is being debated, there is one disturbing issue raised by critics. Is it proper for the ministry of education, or rather the government, to introduce a change of this kind without consulting key stakeholders? This is not an academic question.
There is time the ministry decided to remove sports activities from both primary and secondary school's programmes without consulting stakeholders. Agriculture and commercial subjects were also at one time unilaterally removed from the secondary school syllabus. We have had half-baked teachers employed to "cheat" students in our education system.
For heavens sake, it is high time the government involve key stakeholders before making changes in the vital education sector.
The decisions made by bureaucrats affect the future of our childre, and parents have a right to have a say in such matters. Do we necessarily need to have this issue well spelt out in the envisaged new constitution to avoid taking education key stakeholders for granted?

A King County sheriff's deputy shot and killed a 25-year-old motorist who was trying to flee a parking lot after deputies boxed him in Sunday night in the Boulevard Park area, just south of Seattle.
A 25-year-old Kent man who was fatally shot by a King County sheriff's deputy on Sunday had been booked into jail 14 times in the past seven years, according to prosecutors.
The man had convictions for trespassing, theft, burglary, possession of stolen property, drug violations, attempting to elude police and reckless driving.
According to the Sheriff's Office's account of the shooting, the man's propensity for reckless driving and eluding police led to his death.
The man, who has not been officially identified by the King County Medical Examiner's Office, was killed by a sheriff's deputy after he reportedly rammed into several cars while trying to elude deputies, said Sgt. John Urquhart, spokesman for the Sheriff's Office.

Urquhart said the man had twice led deputies on chases.
On April 10, a deputy tried to pull over a dark Honda Accord after the driver ran a red light near South 120th Street and Des Moines Memorial Drive.
Urquhart said the deputy pursued the Honda but terminated the chase when speeds exceeded 70 mph. The deputy noted the license-plate number and through a photo montage identified the registered owner of the car as the driver, according to Urquhart.
On Sunday, another deputy saw the man in the Honda "spinning his tires and doing a 'burn out' with smoke coming from the tires" in a parking lot near Southwest 108th Street and First Avenue Southwest, according to Urquhart.
"The driver saw the deputy, but continued the burn out in reverse," Urquhart wrote in a news release.
The deputy pursued the Honda, and spike strips were set out, but the driver was able to escape, according to Urquhart. The chase was terminated when the deputy estimated the driver reached 100 mph, Urquhart said.
At 8:05 p.m., the deputy spotted the car in the parking lot of the Arbor Court apartments, 2225 S. 112th St., in Burien, and called for backup. Several deputies surrounded the unoccupied car.
Their plan was to box in the Honda to prevent it from leaving the complex, Urquhart said.
About 15 minutes later, the 25-year-old man got into the car with a female passenger. Deputies attempted to stop the car before it left the parking lot, Urquhart said.
However, the Honda struck three cars in an attempt to get away. One deputy shot the man, who was pronounced dead at the scene.
The female passenger was not injured in the shooting, according to Urquhart. But she became "unresponsive" some time afterward and was taken to Highline Hospital for treatment.
She had methamphetamines in her possession, according to Urquhart.
Urquhart did not name the deputy who fired the shots but said he is 42 years old and has been with the department for 14 years. He has been placed on paid administrative leave pending investigation of the shooting.

Are Your Kids Jewish? Are You Sure?Sierra Black
This week the British courts took on the question of who is Jewish, and who gets to decide. In doing so, they set off a storm of controversy and raised some awkward issues for schools and families.
Responding to a lawsuit brought by a student and his family, the court decreed that a Jewish school cannot exclude a student simply because his mother is not Jewish. Instead, they are requiring the school to determine which students qualify as "Jewish" based on self-identity and religious practice.
Anyone with even a passing familiarity with Judaism knows that's not how it usually works. Judaism is a matrilineal religion. Children born to Jewish women are Jewish whether they like it or not. Children born to a Jewish father and a not-Jewish mother are not Jewish, no matter how good their Hebrew is or how sincere their beliefs. My dad is Jewish, my mom is Catholic. Me: not Jewish.
That is, according to Jewish tradition. According to the British court ruling, the school must base its "test of Jewishness" on religious identity and practice, not race or ethnicity. Determining a child's religion based solely on the mother's ethnicity or conversion status was, the court said, a discriminatory violation of Britain's Race Relations Act.
The British case is complicated by the issues of conversion and by factionalism within the Jewish community. The child in question is the son of a Jewish father and a mother who converted to Judaism as an adult. Converting to Judaism is an intense process. This woman converted in a progressive synogogue, and the Orthodox school in question refused to accept the legitimacy of her conversion. The boy has been raised Jewish in a religious household, considers himself a Jew and practices Judaism.
Who should decide if this boy is "really" Jewish? Modern law or ancient faith?

We don't have to wear a badge to fight crime in Rockford. That's the message Mayor Larry Morrissey and Police Chief Chet Epperson stressed today during a luncheon at Giovanni's.
The topic focused on the importance of having business leaders participate in the effort to achieve excellence everywhere in our city not just the areas with the highest crime rates.
Chief Epperson also suggested that employers offer treatment programs for alcohol and drug abusers to help them get back on their feet.

Today's date: May 2, 2016
January 25, 2013
Staff Writer
In September 2012, the United States Post Office announced that to reduce operating costs, the hours at over 13,000 post offices in rural areas across the nation would be cut back.
These cut-backs are being seen in area towns. Adrian is one of those towns.
According to Brenda Paplow, Officer in Charge at the Adrian Post Office and Bigelow Postmaster, the new reduced window hours became effective on January 12, 2013.
Along with the reduced window hours was a reduction in staff hours. "Now," says Brenda, "Mail sorting in the post office starts an hour later. This means that Post Office Box mail is available at 9:30 am."
Judy Honerman, rural mail carrier, adds, "That means the mail carriers start an hour later too, so mail gets delivered later."
"Anytime you make a change," says Brenda, "There are adjustments, but there haven't been too many problems."
In addition to mail arriving later than usual, residents complain that they weren't made aware of the upcoming changes. In accordance with USPS policy, a notice was posted in the Post Office lobby for the required 30 days before the change was implemented. This may have been something that was easily overlooked during the holiday rush.
Adrian Post Office
Mon - Fri:Ā 7:45 am to 10:45 am; 12:15 pm to 3:15 pm
Sat.:Ā 8:00 am to 9:00 am
The last mail pick-up Monday through Friday is 2:45 pm at the drop box inside the lobby; 4:15 pm at the outside drop box. The last mail pick up on Saturday is at 8:45 am at the inside drop box; 4:45 pm at the outside drop box.
The next closest mail collection sites are in Luverne and Worthington.

This volume is apparently intended to convey a smattering of gynecology to practitioners who have forgotten what they were taught in medical school. The book is written informally, with frequent use of questions and answers. Much of the writing is loose. Many of the principles enunciated are entirely contrary to the best gynecologic practice of today. There is no evidence of the author's familiarity with many important gynecologic studies published in the last ten years. The illustrations are in no way impressive. The scope of the work is exemplified by the chapter on carcinoma, which in a scant fourteen pages covers (after a fashion) the cause, course, signs, symptoms, histologic diagnosis, clinical diagnosis and treatment of carcinoma of the uterus (cervix and fundus). The treatment of carcinoma is described in two sentences. Retroperitoneal erysipelas is mentioned, but there is no discussion of dropsy of the ovary. The volume is not

**Down from euphoric road trip, back to being a regular ol' Mets fan**
I gotta give Willie some props (and you know it's a rare day when i actually do that).
When facing potentially the most important series of the year against the hated Braves, second place by 4.5 games, and your second starter in the series is Brian Lawrence, who was decent when Metsgrrl and I saw him in Milwaukee, what do you do with the extra day of rest? Start Lawrence on Wednesday anyway, or bump Duque and Maine up so your three stronger starters finish the job?
Of course, Willie makes the right decision.
But according to folklore (well, reality-lore if you will), Oh Pea has been the strongest starter against the Braves, as the winning pitcher for all three games won against the Braves this year.
And out of the three starters, suffice to say, I had the most confidence in Pea. Not just because of my strange obsession with him but because he has the most cajones on the pitching staff. Tom Glavine would have blown a game. Duque is a warrior but...sometimes...he has his moments. Maine will do a good job but that will be the night the Mets forget to hit (of course, Tim Hudson, aka met Kryptonite, is starting that game).
So what happens? Pea loses it. Gives up a three-run dinger to Frenchy. WTF? This was the same guy talking smack last year...along with his butt buddy Marcus Giles about how winning the Wild Card was like kissing your sister (ask Smoltzie about his feelings on that too).
Not to mention they blow through the 'pen tonight. For the love of fuck as Sassdawg would say - Sele AND Schoeneweis? Why doesn't Willie just wave the white flag then and there?
But now we just have to take the next two. Take it in the ass today. And rely on Duque and Maine.
Otherwise this has the potential to become another series the fans care more about than the fucking team does.
Drop by Section 14 tomorrow night if you're in da howse. Mr. E and I will be there in grand fashion.
Tuesday, August 07, 2007

Looked for you in 14 tonight Coop I figure with your boy on the mound you'd be around. But you probably saved yourself alot of grief. That was awful.
I just sat there for about 6 innings thinking to myself "why oh why can they not beat this team??" Piss Hands Alou also did his part to piss away every glimmer of hope a hungry Met crowd had tonight.
But what can you do? As always, just go get em tomorrow and find a way to win this series. Have fun at the game tomorrow! Go Mets!

What's your favourite airline? If you'd asked me a few months ago, I would have said Air New Zealand. Not because I'm a loyalist national but because they always offer great service, reasonable prices and are big on innovation. Ask me now though and I'd struggle to give the same answer.
I'm spoilt you see. We recently had the extreme pleasure of taking two flights on Etihad (both between Brisbane and Singapore). I don't think I could go back to preferring any other airline.
Why do I love Etihad so much now? Because they're the best airline in the world!
Simply this, Etihad's business class service is extremely affordable. If you read my previous posts about using auctions to get business class upgrades you'll know how we made our business class flights on Etihad affordable. Flying on Etihad in business class is actually a pleasure.
Dedicated check-in desks for business class travellers at Brisbane airport, priority passes for security and access to the Air New Zealand business class lounge make waiting in the airport for your flight comfortable and enjoyable. At the Singapore end they have a check-in room in Changi airport with private security lines and an even plusher business class lounge complete with massage chairs.
On board, Etihad's business class product is comfortable and luxurious. Lie-flat beds arranged in pod formation. Massage rollers in the seats. Noise cancelling headphones. The food was out of this world and the service by flight attendants top notch.
Flying with Etihad in business class we arrived at our destination feeling great. We were rested, relaxed and well-feed. There was none of that horrible "flight smell" to wash off at the end of the journey.
Travelling with children in business class is always a bit of a worry but we found Reuben was better behaved on these flights than any of the others 30+ flights he has been on in his three years of travel. More space to spread out in, a proper bed to sleep in on a night flight, comfortable headphones, potato chips at the push of a button… why wouldn't he be well-behaved?
Etihad have an in-flight nanny – a flight attendant dedicated to keeping children entertained and happy on flights. She came up and introduced herself to us, explained that she would be working in the economy class cabin (where children usually fly) but that she would make special trips up to business class to see Reuben during the flight for games and face-painting. Fortunately for me, he slept through the entire flight so didn't get a chance to play with the nanny but it's still an amazing service for parents on board.
We would go out of our way to fly with Etihad again!
What's your favourite airline? I'd love you to chime in below with a comment on which airline you think is the best in the world and why.
