Ramberg, a woman with seven grandchildren, finds she is often asked how she copes with being the primary schoolteacher at the detention center. Ramberg's perspective is refreshing. "You meet many obstacles because the history of many of them is that they're difficult and from dysfunctional families, but they're still children, still interesting and valuable, and still perform their assignments satisfactorily for the most part. You can't have many successes-many of them are small successes-but when you have a student smile, show you respect and act properly, especially coming here with charges of murder, rape, robbery, and suddenly they're different. They're just children." Ramberg teaches math, English, social studies, history, art, and even law justice, as well as an art therapy class, which has "enriched many lives," according to the Center's Superintendent, Ted Perian. Ramberg's work was recently exhibited at the Ahda Arzt Gallery.

A brand new supplier of restraint equipment in Europe
Currently 5 types of Strait Jacket + body bags + arm binders + arm/leg corsets + mesh sacks + more, much moreMade by an enthusiast for enthusiasts
"ZwangHaft or Zwanghaft would be a typical German word (used in psychiatry). It is somewhat of a wordplay. It means to be imprisoned against your will but it also means that you have to do something to feel better. E.G. to steal something you don't really need just to have the thrill or, in our case, to be encased in a rather special garment which is designed only for that purpose and to be left alone (or not...) with your fantasies - unable to resist.

After a customer's request this nightmare was developed for all cross-dressing and straitjacket fans! Under the finely shining layer of black and white satin and the wonderful, handmade frills, the nightmare itself hides. The sleeves have closed ends making a true straitjacket. A row of buttons are used to hide a very firm and sturdy closing zipper, which ends at the neck. The collar is very stiff leather effectively forming a neck corset which is trimmed with further frills. The dress consist of satin outer and an interior layer of heavy black canvas. From the inner sleeves 3 nylon straps extend and are used to provide normal security or can be linked to form a 'mono glove' type arrangement. here are also other belts fixed around the dress to give many securing possibilities. The lower skirt frill has a hidden belt under the frill which can be used to further reduce movement and there are even 2 hidden walking belts which ensure removing the dress is impossible.The only problem we can see is how do you get any work done???? Just the thing for your next party?????

This year, Rocklin voters have an opportunity to vote for three new City Council members and help set a positive direction for our city's future.
Greg Janda, a small business owner and longtime community volunteer, is one candidate who would help move our city forward. Greg has immersed himself in a number of civic activities, including serving on the Steering Committee for the Rocklin Chamber's Leadership Rocklin Program for seven years. He has regularly attended City Council meeting and has completed other programs to prepare him for this position, including graduating from the Rocklin Citizens Academy earlier this year.

With our city facing significant challenges in this economy, I believe Greg Janda would be an excellent choice for our community.

The affect of rheumatoid arthritis can progress to the degree that it is crippling. Deformities distinctive to late-stage rheumatoid arthritis such as ulnar deviation of the bones of the hands, or swan-neck deviation of the fingers occur because muscles and tendons on one side of the joint may overpower those on the other side, pulling the bones out of alignment.

New Standards to Reduce Morbidity and Mortality in Hospitalized Patients with Diabetes - Editorials
Outpatient vs. Inpatient Treatment of Community-Acquired Pneumonia - Point-of-Care Guides
Recognition and Management of Acute Medication Poisoning - Article
ABSTRACT: Poisoning is a common cause of morbidity and mortality in the United States, with several million episodes reported annually. Acute medication poisonings account for nearly one half of all poisonings reported in the United States and should be considered in persons with an acute change in mental status. The initial approach to a person who has been poisoned should be to assess the airway, breathing, and circulation, and to take a thorough history. Less than 1 percent of poisonings are fatal; therefore, management in most cases is supportive unless a specific antidote is available. Single-dose activated charcoal is the gastrointestinal decontamination modality of choice, but should not be used universally. Toxidromes are constellations of symptoms commonly encountered with certain drug classes, including anticholinergics, cholinergics, opioids, and sympathomimetics. Evaluation of possible medication poisonings should include basic laboratory studies, such as a complete metabolic profile, to determine electrolyte imbalances and liver and renal function. Most other laboratory studies should be performed based on clinical presentation and history. Ongoing treatment of unstable patients with toxic medication ingestions should focus on correcting hypoxia and acidosis while maintaining adequate circulation. These patients can have rapid decline in mental or hemodynamic status even when they appear to be compensating. Children can experience more profound effects from small amounts of medication. Disposition of a person who has been poisoned warrants careful consideration of multiple factors, and those exhibiting signs or symptoms of toxicity must be monitored longer.
Management of COPD Exacerbations - Article
ABSTRACT: Exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease contribute to the high mortality rate associated with the disease. Randomized controlled trials have demonstrated the effectiveness of multiple interventions. The first step in outpatient management should be to increase the dosage of inhaled short-acting bronchodilators. Combining ipratropium and albuterol is beneficial in relieving dyspnea. Oral corticosteroids are likely beneficial, especially for patients with purulent sputum. The use of antibiotics reduces the risk of treatment failure and mortality in moderately or severely ill patients. Physicians should consider antibiotics for patients with purulent sputum and for patients who have inadequate symptom relief with bronchodilators and corticosteroids. The choice of antibiotic should be guided by local resistance patterns and the patient's recent history of antibiotic use. Hospitalized patients with exacerbations should receive regular doses of short-acting bronchodilators, continuous supplemental oxygen, antibiotics, and systemic corticosteroids. Noninvasive positive pressure ventilation or invasive mechanical ventilation is indicated in patients with worsening acidosis or hypoxemia.
Glycemic Control in Hospitalized Patients Not in Intensive Care: Beyond Sliding-Scale Insulin - Article
ABSTRACT: Glycemic control in hospitalized patients who are not in intensive care remains unsatisfactory. Despite persistent expert recommendations urging its abandonment, the use of sliding-scale insulin remains pervasive in U.S. hospitals. Evidence for the effectiveness of sliding-scale insulin is lacking after more than 40 years of use. New physiologic subcutaneous insulin protocols use basal, nutritional, and correctional insulin. The initial total daily dose of subcutaneous insulin is calculated using a factor of 0.3 to 0.6 units per kg body weight, with one half given as long-acting insulin (the basal insulin dose), and the other one half divided daily over three meals as short-acting insulin doses (nutritional insulin doses). A correctional insulin dose provides a final insulin adjustment based on the preprandial glucose value. This correctional dose resembles a sliding scale, but is only a small fine-tuning of therapy, as opposed to traditional sliding-scale insulin alone. Insulin sensitivity, nutritional intake, and total daily dosing review can alter the physiologic insulin-dosing schedule. Prospective trials have demonstrated reductions in hyperglycemic measurements, hypoglycemia, and adjusted hospital length of stay when physiologic subcutaneous insulin protocols are used. Transitions in care require special considerations and attention to glycemic control medications. Changing the sliding-scale insulin culture requires a multidisciplinary effort to improve patient safety and outcomes.
Glucose Control in Hospitalized Patients - Article
ABSTRACT: Evidence indicates that hospitalized patients with hyperglycemia do not benefit from tight blood glucose control. Maintaining a blood glucose level of less than 180 mg per dL (9.99 mmol per L) will minimize symptoms of hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia without adversely affecting patient-oriented health outcomes. In the absence of modifying factors, physicians should continue patients' at-home diabetes mellitus medications and randomly check glucose levels once daily. Sulfonylureas should be withheld to avoid hypoglycemia in patients with limited caloric intake. Patients with cardiovascular conditions may benefit from temporarily stopping treatment with thiazolidinediones to avoid precipitating heart failure. Metformin should be temporarily withheld in patients who have worsening renal function or who will undergo an imaging study that uses contrast. When patients need to be treated with insulin in the short term, using a long-acting basal insulin combined with a short-acting insulin before meals (with the goal of keeping blood glucose less than 180 mg per dL) better approximates normal physiology and uses fewer nursing resources than sliding-scale insulin approaches. Most studies have found that infusion with glucose, insulin, and potassium does not improve mortality in patients with acute myocardial infarction. Patients admitted with acute myocardial infarction should have moderate control of blood glucose using home regimens or basal insulin with correctional doses.
Glycemic Control in the Hospital: What to Do When Experts Disagree - Editorials
Management of Hospitalized Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus - Article
ABSTRACT: Subopitmal glycemic control in hospitalized patients with type 2 (non-insulin-dependent) diabetes mellitus can have adverse consequences, including increased neurologic ischemia, delayed wound healing and an increased infection rate. Poor glycemic control can also affect the outcome of the primary illness. If possible, hospitalized diabetic patients should continue their previous antihyperglycemic treatment regimen. Decreased physical activity and the stress of illness often lead to hyperglycemia in hospitalized patients with type 2 diabetes. When indicated, insulin is given either as a supplement to usual therapy or as a temporary substitute. The overall benefit of the traditional sliding-scale insulin regimen has been questioned. Insulin supplementation given according to an algorithm may be a logical alternative. Any antihyperglycemic regimen should be administered and monitored in a manner coincident with the intake of food or other sources of calories. Factors that can alter glycemic control acutely, including specific medical conditions and medications, should be identified and anticipated.

The parents of a 16-year-old Carbondale girl who was killed in a car crash have filed a wrongful death lawsuit against a Glenwood Springs bar, saying it served the underage driver alcohol before the accident.
The Post Independent reports Jennifer Nevarez' parents are suing the Bayou Cajun Restaurant and Bar and at least one of its bartenders. Nevarez, 18-year-old Brianda Zavala and 24-year-old Albino Ortiz-Monge were killed in the April 14 crash in Glenwood Canyon.
The Colorado State Patrol says all three had a blood-alcohol level above the legal limit for driving. Zavala, the driver, had more than three times the limit, with a blood-alcohol content of 0.241 percent when the car slammed into a tractor-trailer.
Witnesses say the three may have continued drinking after leaving the bar.
Bar owner Steve Behem declined to comment.

Dr. Lynne Fenton sounded the alarm that alleged theater shooter James Holmes was a threat to others.
Friends and acquaintances say they would expect nothing less from the University of Colorado Denver psychiatrist who is a central figure in the murder case being built against the former neuroscience student accused of killing 12 people and injuring 58 others in an Aurora movie theater.
On Thursday, attorneys will debate about access to a notebook Holmes mailed to Fenton — a crucial piece of evidence in the case against Holmes, who is charged with 24 counts of first-degree murder and 116 counts of attempted murder.
News reports, citing anonymous sources, say the notebook contains details of Holmes' murderous plans.
Aurora Theater Shooting

- Timeline: Shooting at Aurora movie theater.
- Map: Shooting scene, suspect's apartment, hospitals.
- View images of the victims of the Aurora theater shooting.
- View graphic layout of the Aurora theater shooting scene.
- View photo galleries related to the theater shooting.
- More videos: Aurora shooting video roundup.
- Full coverage: Stories, photos, video, more.
Defense attorneys say the notebook is protected by doctor-patient confidentiality and should be returned to Holmes.
Prosecutors say the notebook's content is not privileged and should be admitted as evidence.
To determine who is right, 18th Judicial District Chief Judge William Sylvester will consider when Holmes, 24, started visiting Fenton; when the treatment relationship ended, if it did; and whether Holmes did anything that would have waived the usual doctor-patient privilege.
So far, information about Fenton and her connection to Holmes has been a tightly held secret, protected by the judge's gag order.
Sources say Fenton, who is skilled at recognizing trouble and who in 2010 helped create the campus' Behavioral Evaluation and Threat Assessment team, alerted team members in early June about her concerns regarding Holmes.
For her to take her concerns outside of her office, Fenton must have seen something worrisome.
Mental-health professionals have a duty under federal guidelines called the "Tarasoff Rule" to protect or warn a third party only if the therapist believes or predicts that the patient poses a serious risk to a reasonably identifiable victim.
Colorado law gives further direction, saying a psychiatrist cannot be held liable for failing to warn about a mental-health patient's behavior, except where the patient has communicated to a mental-health-care provider a "serious threat of imminent physical violence against a specific person."
Specific threat
According to courtroom discussion and documents released Friday, Holmes made a specific threat that was brought to the attention of campus police.
Those documents say Holmes told a fellow student in March that he wanted to kill people. The documents also say he made threats to a professor sometime before June 12, when he withdrew from the graduate program.
Fenton's friends and colleagues say she would have known exactly the right thing to do in any situation.
Fenton, 51, has not responded to requests for an interview.
Her friends and ex-colleagues described her as a highly intelligent physician with an easy ability to connect with her patients.
"You don't meet people quite as brilliant and amazing and caring and thorough as her," said Dr. Ellen Price of Grand Junction, who worked with Fenton in the early 1990s. "I am sure she did everything completely the right way. I am sure of it.
"Her history shows that is what she does. She is ethical, caring and brilliant."
Fenton earned a bachelor's degree in genetics from the University of California at Davis in 1982, then earned her medical degree at Chicago Medical School in 1986 and completed her residency at Northwestern University Medical Center.
She began her career as a physiatrist, specializing in rehabilitation of injuries or illnesses that affect a person's movement. Her first job was as chief physician at Wilford Hall Medical Center at Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio.
Not long after, she relocated to Colorado, where she worked for Colorado Rehabilitation and Occupational Medicine in Aurora and eventually started her own practice, the Merlin Medical Institute.
She began to use acupuncture as a way to treat pain.
A 1998 Denver Post article also showed that she had begun looking into ways to use acupuncture to increase women's breast sizes.
In the article, Fenton said she knew some people, including fellow doctors, "will say this (is) silly."
"But I'm glad to have this procedure to offer to women who like this idea but wouldn't want to have (implant) surgery," she said. "It's a big self-esteem issue for a lot of women."
Disciplined by board
Her career record is not pristine.
Around the same time as The Post article, the state medical board disciplined Fenton after the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency found that she had improperly prescribed medicine to herself, her husband and two staff members.
The discovery came after Fenton alerted the DEA about a bogus prescription order from a staff member, whom she promptly fired.
The DEA found the employee had obtained multiple illegal prescriptions through Fenton's office and conducted a complete investigation — discovering Fenton in violation of drug laws.
She had prescribed Ambien and Claritin (then not an over-the-counter drug) to her husband; Lorazepam and Vicodin to an employee who was suffering from chronic headaches; and Xanax to another employee who was nervous about flying. Also, she took three tablets of Xanax herself during a time when her mother was dying.
The investigation concluded she had failed to maintain required medical charts, and she agreed to never again prescribe drugs for family members or employees. She voluntarily completed 50 hours of continuing medical education in pain management.
The discipline did not seem to derail her career.
Along with her private practice, she became the medical acupuncturist at the Mile High Spine and Rehabilitation Center in Greenwood Village, where she worked with Dr. Jennifer Burns.
"We took care of people who were in pain, and most of those patients are depressed and anxious," said Burns, who added that she noticed Fenton becoming more intrigued with the counseling aspect of the work.
Fenton's husband at the time, Steffen Andrews, said she began to realize it wasn't just the needles that were helping people recover.
"She started to begin to think that there was something in the one-on-one, the direct doctor-patient interaction beyond just the needles that may have been having a therapeutic effect," he said. "That led her to think, 'Maybe it's the dialogue that I am having.' "
Career change
In 2005, she entered the residency program for psychiatry at CU Denver. Friends were not surprised when Fenton decided to change careers.
"Most people do one residency. Not Lynne. She does two," said Price, the Grand Junction doctor.
Each year, residents take the Psychiatry Resident In-Training Exam. Fenton's scores were among the nation's highest, said Andrews, who was divorced from Fenton in 2002 but remains her friend. The university could not confirm her scores in relation to others in the nation.
"The wonderful part about her is that she is brilliant and great in social situations," Andrews said. "She has these wonderful interpersonal skills. That's why her colleagues like her and loved her. That is why she always had wonderful relationships with her patients."
The best and brightest usually end up as the chief resident.
Fenton was chief resident in the CU psychiatry department, and Andrews said she held the same position during her residency at Northwestern.
In 2009, Fenton became medical director of the Anschutz Medical Campus student mental-health service. A year later, CU hired her as an associate professor of psychiatry. She is paid about $150,000 per year.
She supervised residents, taught courses and was a research fellow with the Veterans Administration. She wrote papers, gave presentations and continued research projects. One of her specialties was schizophrenia, and her "particular research interest is the neurobiology of psychotherapy, what happens in the brain with psychotherapy, and why does it work," she wrote in her online biography.
In August 2009, she helped coordinate sessions on how to train students to recognize the signals of common mental- health problems — and what they should do when they saw them. Within a year, she was leading an effort to create a campuswide Behavioral Evaluation and Threat Assessment — or BETA — team, a collection of ad hoc administrators who can help provide support, information and referrals to those dealing with threatening or disruptive situations.
Name in the news
An avid gardener and lover of the outdoors, Fenton was described by a neighbor as apparently comfortable in her career and life.
"We love her as a neighbor and a person," said Marie Mos-sett, who lives near Fenton in the Mayfair neighborhood. "We think it is terrible what (the media) is doing to her."
In the minutes after a court document revealed Fenton was Holmes' psychiatrist, the psychiatrist's name and photo were splashed around the world as people searched for a motive behind the shooting.
The university immediately disabled her online biography and refused to comment about her, citing the gag order. It hired an attorney to represent her.
Even limited data found on the Web about Fenton made news, including an agenda from a May 30 presentation to the psychiatry department called "World of Warcraft: The Use of Archetypes in Psychotherapy" — a discussion that Fenton participated in about a multiplayer role-playing video game that Holmes had reportedly played.
Later, after open-records requests from The Post, CU released limited information about Fenton, including employment agreements and her yearly performance evaluations for 2010 and 2011 that rated her as "outstanding" and that she "far exceeds performance expectations."
Why and when Fenton began to see Holmes have not been publicly discussed. According to a CBS report, Holmes also was seen by three mental health professionals at the campus clinic.
Prosecutors say sometime in the spring, Holmes began to struggle in the rigorous neuroscience graduate program on the Anschutz campus — failing in his labs, prompting a professor to suggest another vocation. On June 7, he performed poorly on his oral exams. That day, he bought the second of two Glock pistols he would bring to the Century Aurora 16 on July 20.
The prosecution clearly is laying out its courtroom strategy: Holmes reacted to his academic failure with the shooting.
Questions remain: What did Fenton know? Did she do enough to stop the massacre?
"I feel so badly for her," said Price, who moved to Grand Junction in 1995 but still considers Fenton a friend. "It is not fair for one person to have the burden of this on their shoulders. No doctor can be responsible for this guy's actions.
"He was smart, and he probably didn't tell her much. People don't know her, and they are looking for someone to blame. But she is not God."

green fuzz
ive just moved my puffers back to there 15 gallon and after only 2 weeks theres a dense green fuzz on everything its not like blanket weed or any of the strandlike algea it disintergrates as i touch it like green smoke the nitrates/ammo/nitrite levels are very low .......whats causing this"green smoke" to grow its making a nicly planted setup look a horriffic mess
It is an algae. You nutrient level is high. There is nothing in the tank to compete with the algae for food. There are many causes like too much light, overfeeding.....You know all of that stuff. Adjust accordingly.
the light levels are certainly high overfeeding is not an issue the puffers are fed exclusively on live food but there waste is certainly high protein would the inroduction of more plantlife "outcompete" it i walso want to try ottos again would they feed on this stuff?

Metals without the meltdown
13 February 2008
Scientists have found a practical, cheap and environmentally friendly way of producing the industrially important metal niobium.
Niobium is used in a variety of applications, from superalloys to optics, and total world production is nearly 23,000 tonnes per year. But, like many industrially important metals, it is mainly produced using pyrometallurgical extraction, a relatively high cost process.
In the late 1990s, Fray, Farthing and Chen invented a method that is much simpler and less energy consuming than conventional pyrometallurgical processes, and has the advantage of being carbon-free. Known as the FFC Cambridge Process, metals and alloys are extracted directly from their solid oxides using electrolysis in molten calcium chloride. Now one of these scientists - George Zheng Chen from the University of Nottingham, UK, and his colleagues at Wuhan University, China - have improved the process and reduced energy consumption by a third.
There is an urgent call for increased use of renewable energy, which is most likely to be converted to electricity in large scales, said Chen. 'Consequently, new, efficient and green electro-technologies are a necessity,' he said.
- Frank Walsh, University of Southampton, UK
Chen and co-workers found that electrolysing niobium oxide in a three-electrode cell using a variable voltage uses significantly less energy than the constant voltage two-electrode system of the FFC Cambridge Process. However, the set-up is more complicated and so impractical in large scale operations. To get around this problem the scientists mimicked the cell voltage variation using computer-aided control (CAC) of the two-electrode cell voltage. And modifying the FFC Cambridge Process in this way results in a 'more than 37 per cent saving in energy consumption,' said the team.
'CAC is demonstrated in principle for niobium extraction, but it is perfectly suitable for other reactive metals such as tantalum, titanium, zirconium and many rare earths,' said Chen. Also, said Walsh, 'the system described provides an attractive and direct route to the formation of speciality alloys.'
The FFC Cambridge Process is being commercialised by a spin-out company - Metalysis. 'Metalysis has won very strong support from investors,' said Chen. It has also formed strategic partnerships with important industrial players BHP Billiton and Rolls-Royce. According to Chen, this new energy-saving modification is very simple in principle and would not require any changes to be made to the cells used by Metalysis.

Enough grousing! Difficult conditions needed to find best in a major
Sports Commentary
Sunday, July 21, 2013
Stop me if you've heard this before, but professional golfers came together for a major tournament and ... whining ensued.
I know it's not exactly newsworthy, as this sort of thing happens all the time, but that's the point. This sort of thing happens all the time. And it's got to stop.
I realize the British Open, which wraps up today, has been a stiff test over the past four days for those good enough to play in it. Still, that's the key — those taking part are only the ones good enough to be playing in it. As such, they're the best of the best. But so far, the only thing they're the best at is complaining.
During the last week or so, numerous members in the field have complained about a variety of things. Let's address a few, with the biggest being Muirfield Golf Club seems to be a bit hard this week.
Wait a minute. A golf course might actually be dried out during the summer? I'm shocked. (That's sarcasm, in case it isn't coming through loud and clear.) Could the grounds crew at Muirfield water the course a bit more? Sure. Should they? I'm not so sure.
Therein lies the biggest problem in the whole scenario. Pro golfers have been coddled for so long they have no idea what it's like to play anything but the top 1 percent of all courses in the world. Yes, a top-flight tournament deserves a top-flight course. But even with "flaws," what they're playing right now is still better than 99 percent of anything else out there.
I understand almost everyone in the Open played all sorts of courses when they were younger, but they've forgotten what it's like to play those less-than-perfect ones. If a pro wants to see a really "tough lie," I'd welcome them to come out and play any of a number of courses around the midwest in a month or so when the scorching summer has had a chance to dry out the fairways. Have fun trying to take a divot on the hardpan that passes for a fairway during drought-like conditions, or finding a clean lie when it's hard to find more than three blades of grass next to each other. Show me how well you play on that, and then I might be truly impressed.
With the dry conditions at Muirfield, a complaint seems to be balls are getting "too much roll." You know what some of us regular golfers call that? A bonus. Most hackers would love to add 80-100 yards on all our drives. I for one would welcome the troubles that come with being longer off the tee.
Besides, you would think "the best in the world" would be the best at adapting to conditions. But apparently these golfers want things how they want them, and if they don't get it, the only recourse is to complain.
Among the other complaints were the greens were too fast and pin locations on those greens were too tricky. You would think guys who've been at it this long would know tournament officials are going to do things like that. I've never played in one of golf's major tournaments, but I can guarantee you two things before it starts — the greens will be fast and hole locations will be tough. If you don't know that, you're not paying attention.
Phil Mickelson even had the nerve to complain about the par-3 third hole playing at 274 yards, saying, "You can't even reach it." Maybe, if you're me, a 274-yard par-3 is a stretch. But again, these are professionals, and that's not too much to ask. The fact Phil, who I normally like, would whine about it just makes him sound childish.
While some rain might have softened up the course if they had gotten any, you can rest assured someone would be having a hissy fit about having to playing when it's wet. And they haven't even had to contend with much wind, which is normally a common part of the British Open experience.
Perhaps it's time to just shut up and play, because I'll bet whoever comes out on top today won't have complained much this week. He was too busy taking care of business.

Tribes: Ascend To Be Playable at QuakeCon
The free-to-play shooter Tribes: Ascend is currently in closed alpha, but you can get your hands on it early next month at QuakeCon, where Hi-Rez Studios will be showing the game off for the first time. But, wait, that's not all. On top of that, they'll be handing out codes for the upcoming closed beta, which is super exciting in its own right. So I guess you have a new reason to go aside from the chance to play some RAGE.

The show is one of the best on the tour and I spot many a glowing face.
This is our last night with pals The Acorn. We are thoroughly going to
miss them and we exchange e-mails and contacts. I would love to have
them support a European tour in the future. We toast to a great tour
and venture off into the midwest night.

Roseville lad moves closer to Pitch Hit & Run finals in Kansas City
Young Keahi Lum of Roseville has made it through Major League Baseball's Pitch Hit & Run competitions at Mahany Park and in Rio Linda and Oakland.
A trip to Kansas City could be next.
Keahi was the hitting champion in the 7- and 8-year-old division at the local competition. He advanced to capture the Sectional overall championship in Rio Linda and the team championship in Oakland.
The top scorers after the team competitions — to be held in each major-league city — will qualify for the finals, scheduled for the second week of July in Kansas City, site of this year's All-Star Game.
The key for Keahi, who plays with the Double-A Mets in Woodcreek Little League, is his ability to hit the square in the pitching competition, according to his dad, Makani. The target is about the size of a strike zone.
"And he can hit it," Makani said.
Oakmont grad hits .317 in college
Spencer Williams just completed his junior year at Viterbo (Wis.) University and hit .317 in 21 games with the Hawks (10-32).
Williams graduated from Oakmont in 2007 and played at American River College before transferring to Viterbo, which plays in the Midwest Collegiate Conference.
Williams' average was third on the team. He was second in on-base percentage at .417 and fourth in slugging percentage at .349. Williams also handled 28 chances without an error.
All-conference honor for former Viking
Whittier College junior pitcher Jessica Rosnack was named to the All-Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference second team.
Rosnack, a 2009 Oakmont graduate, pitched five complete games and had a 12-5 record with a 3.17 ERA for the Poets (24-17), including a six-hitter in a 5-1 victory over No. 13 Redlands in the conference tournament.
Coy tops Blue Hens
Alicea Coy, a 2011 Roseville graduate, topped the University of Delaware softball team in sacrifices with 16 in her freshman season.
Coy, an infielder, started 55 of 57 games for the Blue Hens (15-41-1) and hit .237 with six doubles among her 37 hits. She also handled 249 total chances and committed 14 errors for a .943 fielding percentage.

Drones See Second Life Mapping Hurricanes—NASA's HS3 Program
By Penny Hubbard, CIO Communications, Ames Research Center
The ARC Airborne Science Information Technology's Hurricane and Severe Storm Sentinel (HS3) is a 5-year combined mission with Agency, industry, and academic entities investigating the processes that underlie hurricane formation and intensification in the Atlantic Ocean basin. Having a limited number of data points from any given hurricane season has been a barrier in the past, as mapping requires sustained measurements over several years. The small sample is a function not just of tropical storm activity but also of the distance of storms from the base of operations.
HS3 utilizes two Global Hawks, one with instruments geared toward measurement of the environment and the other with instruments suited to inner-core structure and processes. Capable of reaching altitudes greater than 55,000 feet, flying up to 30 hours, and storing and augmenting data from multiple satellites, global meteorological analyses, and computer simulations, HS3 is crushing the barriers of small sample gathering and helping scientists to understand the physical processes that control changes in hurricane intensity. Researchers hope to determine the extent to which these intensification processes are predictable.
HS3 addresses the key NASA Earth Science Enterprise (ESE) science goal of studying Earth in order to advance scientific understanding, meet societal needs, and fulfill NASA's research objective to "enable improved predictive capability for weather and extreme weather events." HS3 will obtain the measurements needed both to improve scientific understanding and to transfer that understanding into improved intensity prediction.

Mid-Missouri lawmakers back Boeing incentives proposal
Tuesday, December 3, 2013
Several Mid-Missouri lawmakers think the General Assembly should discuss Gov. Jay Nixon's proposed $150 million economic incentives package for aerospace projects in the state, as bait to attract the Boeing Co. to build its 777X commercial jet in the St. Louis area.
"In general, what's good for St. Louis' economy is good for the rest of the state," state Rep. Jay Barnes, R-Jefferson City, said Monday afternoon.
Senate Appropriations Committee Chairman Kurt Schaefer, R-Columbia, explained: "The governor's proposal is to take four economic development programs that currently exist and, simply, to tailor them a little bit for this Boeing proposal.
"Essentially, the state doesn't have to put any money on the table, and Boeing only gets the benefit of the deal if they do produce the jobs and there's economic activity."
State Sen. Jolie Justus, D-Kansas City, said: "The reality is, if we can get these jobs in, I think it helps the whole state.
"It increases revenues, helps us with infrastructure, education, everything we need."
Although originally elected from Kansas City, the 2011 redistricting process moved Justus' district to a six-county area in east-Central Missouri, including Callaway County.
She expects a number of her constituents will benefit from the Boeing project's likely new jobs.
"If we get this thing passed, it will be worth the time and effort," she said.
Sen. Mike Kehoe, R-Jefferson City, agreed: "You've got to catch a lot of frogs before you find a prince.
"As anybody who's been involved in business knows — I've been involved in plenty of opportunities that just didn't work out the way I wanted them to — you just have to keep trying."
Barnes isn't sure how a new Boeing plant would affect other Missouri manufacturers.
"People keep referring to 700 Boeing suppliers existing in the state of Missouri," Barnes said. "I haven't seen the list.
"I'm confident those suppliers exist, but nobody's provided an actual list."
Kehoe said the "ripple effect" from a new aircraft-building plant could be "fantastic."
"I believe Boeing's statistics are that they have some type of either a vendor or a relationship with a vendor in over 100 of the 115 counties in Missouri," he said.
Barnes said that, with few known details going into the session, he plans to listen carefully.
"I support the idea of broad-based tax relief for small business owners, entrepreneurs and everyday Missourians," Barnes said.
"This doesn't fit that bill.
"So, it's a difficult issue (and) a difficult question."
Schaefer said: "As the governor presented it to us, it's a two-to-one return on the tax incentives that are offered.
"Those tax incentives are not available until the jobs are first created and there's a withholding."
Missouri government would lose revenue by allowing Boeing to keep some of the withholding taxes it normally would pay for each of the employees.
"But, if we don't have those jobs, we're not going to get that money, anyway," Schaefer said.

Lenovo Y510 notebook has an Intel Wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN wireless card. My router is a Linksys WRT54GL, set to use WPA-TKIP. Problem: notebook can connect to the network using its wired LAN adapter, and can connect using the wireless adapter if I disable encryption. If I leave the encryption enabled, the notebook can see my wireless network but cannot access it; running ipconfig /all shows no IP address, but a message "Media disconnected." If, however, I plug in my Edimax wireless USB adapter, I can access my network and get onto the Internet, even with WPA encryption enabled. Is anyone aware of a compatibility issue with this notebook / OS / encryption combination? BTW, I upgraded the Intel wireless card driver, and flashed the BIOS for the notebook - no change.
It wouldn't be a notebook or os compatibility issue per se.....
In what way is it unable to connect? Are you getting an error message?
My hunch is that your laptop is trying to access the network using the wrong sort of encryption. Try setting the settings to connect to your wireless network manually, making sure to tell it to use WPA-TKIP.
I think you're right that it's not a notebook or OS compatibility issue because I can, in fact, get onto my network and out onto the Internet either thru its LAN adapter or thru an external USB wireless adapter. The error message when trying to connect thru the wireless card without disabling WPA is just a standard "Cannot connect to ..." after selecting my wireless network and manually typing in the WPA passkey. Again, if I check for an IP address by typing ipconfig /all at a command prompt, all I get for the wireless card is "Media disconnected," even though it identifies the card by its manufacturer and physical address.
When i meant manually connect, I didn't mean just type in your password. There's an option to manually set all settings for any network of your choosing....See here:
Actually, I did try to connect manually, and had the same problem. The issue seems to be that the notebook cannot connect to my network using its own Intel wireless card as long as I have encryption set up using WPA-TKIP. As I said, if I disable encryption, it connects up with no problem. The "Media disconnected" message seems fairly common, and not limited to just Vista. I'm just curious to know if anyone else had experienced the same thing.
You're right - Microsoft Media Sensing technology has been around since the days of Windows 2000 and incorporated in certain NICs. It's a feature for TCP/IP. The link below not only explain what it is all about but it also tell you how to disable it. Read the whole article first before you do it.
Will it connect to other networks wirelessly? Like have you tried connecting in a coffee shop or other free internet source?
I haven't tried it with any other wireless networks, although I can see two others in the list beside my own. Remember, if I turn off my WPA encryption, I can connect to my own wireless network with no problems.
UPDATE: Disabled Afterburner, one of my router's firmware options, and that fixed it.

Comedy night also on tap to raise money for group
Paul Kauffman, founder and executive director of Single Mothers United in Rewarding Fellowship, is 75. Probably because of that, he missed the Zumba craze that's swept the nation.
But when some women last year wanted to help raise money for the nonprofit he oversees by hosting a Zumbathon, he said he was all for it, even though he wasn't sure what to expect.
Ultimately, he was pleasantly surprised.
"It was incredible," he said of SMURF's inaugural Zumbathon fundraiser. "I had no idea what it was, and they asked me to come make an appearance and — holy cow — there were over 200 people there. It was high-energy, very enthusiastic. They raised money for SMURF, and I was thrilled."
"I had heard of Zumba, but I obviously haven't participated," he added. "It was awesome."
So they're doing it again this year. The fundraiser is set for 12:30 to 3 p.m. Sunday at Odyssey Arts & Entertainment, 27711 Diaz Road in Temecula. Demonstrations and vendors will be available from 12:30 to 1 p.m.
Tickets cost $10 and may be purchased at the door.
This month, SMURF is also set to host its annual comedy night fundraiser, which will include a variety of entertainment as well as a silent and live auction and dessert on April 20.
The silent auction begins at 5:30 p.m., and the comedy starts at 7 p.m., at Rancho Community Church, 31300 Rancho Community Way in Temecula. Child care is available for children 10 and younger.
The cost is $10 per person. The show will include Kauffman as Carnac, and a special guest appearance by Pastor Scott Treadway as Ed McMahon.
"It's a good show, we have a lot of fun," Kauffman said. "We are going to have some animals, a variety show, some testimonies from the moms. And we've got pretty good auction items and delicious desserts, and everyone loves dessert."

Fixing tank
Hey guys, I have a 40 gallon tank that I would like to fix, it doesn't hold water but the bottom piece of glass the glue is coming un done and I need to fix it to hold together. I am planning to use it for a bearded dragon.
Would the best fix be to use aquarium glue? It doesn't necessarily need to be able to hold water, but I would prefer it to be stable and safe. [/u]
I would use aquarium glue (silicon) because it's completely non-toxic and since it won't need to hold water under pressure, you could use it after 24 hrs no problem. I recommend All-Glass, which is one of the industries longest running aquarium glues and the most popular.
Any local pet store would have and some department stores such as wal-mart may have it also.
